Transcoding with Rempg2 & IFOEdit

[DenFussell]

I would like to share my experiences with some out there that may have faced the same obstacles I have in getting this process to work.

Let me clarify that I am working only with NTSC discs.

I would like to thank Dariodream for his post of 15 OCT which helped to clarify some things for me.

I have had a terrible time getting this to work. What I've finally settled on is abandoning TMPGEnc and falling back on Rempg2 for reliability and repeatability.

The largest single item I missed in the whole thing is that apparently IFOEdit.6 is the latest version that does a good job of remuxing m2v files for whatever reason. Once I found that little tidbit, it all fell into place.

I have had some success using TMPGEnc to generate the m2v file and use it along with the demuxed audio from DVD2AVI to author a DVD in IFOEdit.94, but the results are not as clean at scene changes as with the ReMpg2 m2v files. DVD authored with IFOEdit.94 using the ReMPG2 m2v file with the DVD2AVI audio stream looks very clean.

Derrow's clarification of the operation of the TMPGEnc T. button on the newer versions of IFOEdit also helped me a lot, but the results with ReMPG2's m2v files are still better than TMPGEnc's.

DVD2AVI to demux the audio
ReMPG2 to transcode the video
IFOEdit.6 to remux or IFOEdit.94 to author using elementary streams.
Dariodreams ReMPG2 settings seem to work well.

Thanks!

I AGREE WITH YOU, I USED REMPEG2 A LOT BUT IT IS TOO SLOWLY.
WITH REMPEG 2 TO TRANSCODE A FILM WITH LENGHT 90 MINUTS YOU NEED 9 HOURS THE SAME FILM WITH TMPGENC YOU NEED 4 HOURS.ANYHOW A TRANDED MOVIE BY REMPEG2 ISN'T ALWAYS PERFECT.
