How to increase the HC output DVD dimensions

[Sworm]

Hi all,
anybody know how can i do for increase the HC encoder output DVD dimensions? With a transcoder like CloneDvd the output is about 4.36GB, with CCE is about 4.33GB, but with HC the output is always 4.30GB .

There's some settings to add in rebuilder.ini (eg like ccetarget sector=**) or another mode for increase these output value?

:thanks:

:thanks:Yes:

HCTargetSectors=nnnn

Default is 2236400, which will output a disc of approximately 4.33GB

Yes:

HCTargetSectors=nnnn

Default is 2236400, which will output a disc of approximately 4.33GB

Thanks for your reply jdobbs,
but if in default there's this value, why my output is always 4.30GB?
Can i know what is the last secure value that i can add for use the whole DVD ? (4.32 GB at max) .

In cce my target sector is CCETargetSectors=2254438 and with this value i never founded problems in the write dvd phase, can i add it in HC too? (i don't would like that HC work in different methods from CCE and i don't would that adding this value the disc will be too small with HC.

PS
Last question, there's a Quenc target value too? (My Quenc always made a smallest output 4.26 GB)

There's always a little deviation from what is set -- no encoder is perfect. The difference between 4.30GB and 4.33GB is less than 1%. I'd suggest you try the same setting you have for CCE -- but be warned, writing all the way to the edge on DVDs is risky. Even the high-end discs can run into troubles out there, and the increase in quality you'll get for that small a difference is pretty much negligible.

Yes, there is a QUENC target:

QUENCTargetSectors=nnnn

The same's CCE value should be ok for Quenc too, correct?

Thanks again

Thanks again They all use the same methods of calculating bitrate for output size.

Thanks Jdobbs,
yesterday i have maked a DVD with this value 2254438 , and the HC output it was 4.36GB , perfect for me :)

Thanks for your suggests.
