hi everyone,

i am looking for some help in my backups.i rip a disk with dvd decrypter,load into shrink to edit movie only.run dvd rb (74) with english only and no subs.encode with cce 2.67 and 4 passes.can i do something more to get the most quality.i would like to try rb opt,but after reading about it,i became very confused.setting your own bit rate?q value?quality % and vbr bias settings?i just want to get the most out of these programs.thanks for any inputs.

I back up all my movies with a sharpening filter. The result is like having a Super-Bit DVD over the regular.

and if the dvd is noisy you are likly to end up with a not very nice result(people can guess the 1 word for that i was thinking :)).

radar - whether you can get anything extra out of the source depends on what the source is like. for example a noisy source can have some light filtering(denoising) which may make it look a bit better. for a good clean picture though there should be nothing done as you would be more likly to reduce the quality rather than omprove it.
