Menu Encoding & Ratio?

[casperse]

Hi

Is it possible to define the Menu encoding ratio?

And is the new DVD Rebuilder version able to encode the menu of Ex "The Island" ?

Want to hear if people have problems to play their movie on Standalone DVD players after encoding menu´s with DVD Rebuilder?

Again thanks for this Menu encoding and the new function to keep the movie intact 100% I love this possibility!!!

menus are a work in progress, but they are very very close

the menu ratio is currently linked to the vts, but the rb-opt program is being updated to be compatible with the new rb versions.

I did "The Island" R1/NTSC with Menu Encoding and it works correctly. In fact I've done dozens of movies and they've all worked correctly with menu encoding. The only one I know of right now that shows an anomaly is "Saw II" R1/NTSC -- and even that one works correctly if you use all the default settings -- but I've had a report (that I could repeat) in which a specific INI file setup causes a problem. I'm currently working that issue.

Thanks for the info, didnt know the last status of Menu encoding but I will use it from now on :D But there is no way of knowing the compression ratio of the menu?

Another thing I tried the a movie with alot of extra´s and choosed "Half-D1 and Half space for extras" and the great thing was that DVDRebuilder now could "see" that the movie didnt needed encoding...BUT when finished I had almost 400MB free space

Is there any way where I can let DVDRebuilder decide to encode the extras to fit the DVD-R disk space? while keeping the Movie intact? ..I think 400MB would give my extra material alot better picture Quality ...Love these new function keep up the god work :)

I was planning on doing that soon. It may be there for the next release.

OUTSTANDING!!!

That would be so great !!! The Quality for the extra is fine but with 400MB left to be useed to the extras a trancoding can give a slightly better picture (Because the bitrate is so low)

-BUT if DVDRebuilder could utilize the space for extras then the Quality would be unbeatable and nothing would compare with the quality!!! :D
