If money were no object, I doubt a user would be "backing up" DVDs...

Just curious if there is any functional or quality differences between the various CCE versions. I wouldn't have the money for all of them, but the typical replies I've seen searching the forums always involve listing their price as a factor - so the answers tend to be best value, not best period.

For use with DVD-RB -- IMHO CCE Basic is just as good as SP. The encoding engine is the same. Most of the professional features contained in CCE SP aren't of any use in reencoding DVD. About all you will lose of any value is OPV encoding (one pass vbr) and multiple passes (over two). My personal opinion is that additional passes (over 2) are pretty much a waste of time anyway.

Within the SP versions I think the only noticable differences might be on interlaced sources starting with version 2.70... they seem to be a little better, but even there it isn't dramatic. Newer versions have been reported to be faster with newer Intel processors -- but on an AMD XP processor, v2.50 is faster than any of the newer versions.

Just one advantage to add:

CCE 2.70 encoding engine has better behaviour in fading scenes, fading in from black towards max (or the other way around, I have forgotten details).

And with money is no question you probably refer to edited trial versions of CCE :)
