1st of all, thanks for the pie :)
I have read the forum for a while now and have found answers to most, if not all of my questions here. I havent had a question worth posting or one that someone hasnt already asked before since I started encoding some 8-10 months ago. Great job on the forum fellas. Its really been a big help for me. I dont really have any good questions like some I have read on here, but none the less I am curious about a couple of things. CCE works fine for me on most encodes. I have had only a few probs encoding using the basically "default setup" for DVD2SVCD. Band of brothers 7th episode, 1 or 2 sopranos episodes, ect come to mind. I have never tried the TMPG option for encoding (i will soon). I have had to change to the vstrip option once or twice to get a successful rip of some DVD's. I just installed TMPGnc and was wondering if it was kind of like the scenario I had with vstrip. I use internal routines until they just wont do the job, then I try vstrip. I usually have success this way. Is this the scenario I should use for TMPGnc? Use CCE until I find something it wont do, then try TMPGnc? Im somewhat of a self-taught newb at this, so if this is a "already covered" or stupid question altogether, my apologies. I was just unclear from my forum reading if TMPG had any advantages over CCE (faster, or better quality) or what. If both will work which should I use?
I was also curious as to how many successful encodes some of the other forum posters have done. Between me and a friend of mine we have about 350 successful encodes (mostly classic movies). How many do some of the people on this forum have encoded I wondered? Now lastly, I just encoded a screener copy of brotherhood of the wolf. as you might guess, it had the 1-800 no copies warning and a couple of other things flashing/scrolling across the screen when I watched the screener DVD in my apex 1500 on my TV. To my surprise though, after I ripped/encoded/burned it, all no-copy scrolling/screener messages were gone. I wound up with a perfectly clean movie. I have tried a couple of "screener" DVD's and they always have the text scrolling/flashing. Why did this one (brotherhood of the wolf) wind up clean I wonder? Is it luck of the draw so to speak with screener copies? Thanks again for the pie :)
