Selective encoding in Pro Version?

[casperse]

Hi All

Am a new happy supporter of the new Pro version of DVDrebuilder.

And I would like to know if its possible to select segments to be encoded and wich shouldnt be encoded?

I have many movies where if I only could encode the "End Credits" it would fit a Single layer DVD....End credits sometime are ++300MB!!!!

I have looked at RB-Keeper but that dosent seem to work with CC encoder or the pro version.

Cheers

PS: If this isnt possible then maybee an Idea for the next relesase could be so cool to have a (Keep option) in the segment viewer :thanks:

If you make a slideshow out of the credits, the rest would at least not suffer from a lower bitrate.

@jdobbs
Do/could the remaining cells be "kept" like ILVU or subthreshold size cells? That would be nice.

EDIT: casperse, you just could make a still with audio out of the credits with VobBlanker, if they are in their own cell.

Yes and No...DVDRebuilder would still reencode the whole movie!
Thereby making new bitrates to the whole movie.

But you are right in teori it would have space to the org bitrate :D

If I use RB-OPT I can set the bitrate to 99,99 for every segment and then 50% to the end segment, but DVDrebuilder would still reencode everything but then it might be close to the org bitrate?

What I would love is a option to keep the org material but Maybee it will be a functionality in a future version....Hint Hint jdobbs ;)

That's on the drawing board... but I'm not very confident I can get it in for v1.00, maybe v1.10.

GREAT! cant wait :D :thanks:

If you are backing up the main movie only, you may edit it using DVDShrink with no compression using the reauthor mode. There you may take out the credits part and also the first intros.

Also, you may take the opportunity to check out all languages not needed, although RB will do it as well.

Yes your right but I really wants to keep everything (Movie + Menu).
The idea was that if I compressed the menu + End credits the whole movie could be there a 100% = Org DVD.

This is exciting prospect. I made a very similar suggestion in another thread. I know DVDShrink can achieve this, but the enhanced quality one could attain from using DVD-RB to do the reencoding on the extras/credits/etc would certainly be nice.

[casperse]

You can NOT select only to encode the "credits" in Shrink!
It will encode the whole movie :(

But I cant wait untill I can do it!
Right now its possible to change any chapter to a still in the latest DVDremake but thats not a nice way to do it.
The sound will run for the whole credit but you will only have a still on the screen.

I think you can do what you want with dvdremake.You can blank all the unwanted material and the cell of the main movie wihch correspon to the creedits and keep all the menu.If it doesn't fit on a dvd5 you can then use dvd rebuilder to rencode.
Instead of dvdremake you can also use voblanker i suppose

[casperse]

I think you are missing my point :D

As stated earlier, I have some DVD´s that I could keep ORG. and wher I dont have to reencode the movie if I just could reencode the end credit and nothing else!.

Yes I can blank it or remove them with dvdremake But I like to keep the end credit, its irritating when you see a god movie and the endning music cuts directly to the Menu. ;)

So in a perfect world I would just chooce the end credit and keep everything else as is (ORG) :D a 100% backup.

You could probably export that only (if cell-based) to a VIDEO_TS folder. Then re-encode it (as it'd be the only thing really in there) at a lesser bitrate. Then reinsert it over the original cell(s). Just an offhand theory, based on a similar principle of adding back original menus to DVD Shrink/Nero re-encodes as can be viewed here (http://www.videohelp.com/~jsoto/guides/VobBlanker/adding_menus/index.htm). VObBlanker is the actual tool that is capable of doing that for menus; never tried it for a cell of a title. It might be something worth looking at, provided you have an excellent understanding of what you read there.
