Hi guys!
I would like to try out the HC (0.14) with DVD-RB (0.84a). I've looked through the threads but still haven't found how to do it.
I have copied the HCbatch_014.exe and HC_CLI.exe to my DVD-RB directory.
But I also need an hc.ini file, right? How do I make one? I tried making one with the following settings:

-profile best
-matrix notch
-maxbitrate 9000
-log D:\DVD-RB\Work\log.log

But as soon as DVD-RB is about to start the encoding I always get an error. :(
I also would like to know more about how I go about to use OPV encoding with the HC encoder.
I hope you can help me...

The simpler way: Donate and get the PRO version of RB

The other way: In RB setup point the path for Quenc to HC_Batch, and select Quenc in RB mode.

Thank you, but I have already done that; Pointed the path for QuEnc to HC_Batch. What about the hc.ini? Is it needed?

EDIT:
Hmm, looks like I set the QuEnc path to HC_CLI. Could that be it? I will try to set the path directly to HC.exe instead and see if that solves anything ;) .

EDIT2:
Yep, that was it! :)
I have a PAL DVD (Cold Creek Manor) I'm trying to encode. It's progressive but HC "sees" the DVD as interlaced. How can I set the hc.ini to progressive?

If you point quenc path to HCbatch_014.exe it will work fine but you can make an .ini file with some additional settings and put in the same dir as HC

Ex. hc.ini file:

*matrix mpeg
*profile best
*dc_prec 10
*WAIT 0
