tmpgenc vs rempeg

[mcp]

What do you think it´s better?
I ripped a film with both and I think that tmpgenc did the job better. (with the same settings as in doom9 guide described...., but the I-frames set to autosearch in tmpgenc (1.5hours more)and in dvdavi I used 64bit floating point instead of 32mmx)

tmpg is better. However, if you don't use the i frame settings from ifoedit (I'm assuming that you're going to use ifoedit) then you'll have synch issues in the end unless you're extremely lucky.

Ok, I see.
But I´m ripping in a different way.
First I create a *.m2v-video-file and the ac3-soundtrack.
I open the *.m2v-file with dvd2avi-> make my *.d2v projekt file ->then go and tmpgenc the film with auto-i-frames and demux both streams with maestro together.
Do you think that this will go out of sync???
:confused:

I must be missing something here. Why not directly import your m2v and ac3 streams directly into maestro? And skip the whole dvd2avi process

[rishardc]

He probably needs to shrink the file down.

[mcp]

Sure I must shrink the file.

I knew i was missing something ;), The only thing you are changing is the bitrate... It should defenitly not go out of sync. If (small chance) it does. Use rempeg2. Ive done quite a few films on rempeg2 and only had a problem with 2 (star wars episode 1 and KPAX).

My vote goes to rempeg
I have used version 12a for nearly 3 years, and the quality is very good, but rempeg shades it,

I also think the newer versions of TMPG are not as good as v12a
they are quicker but speed is not an issue with me.

what for a version 12a?
of rempeg or tmpgenc???
and when rempeg, what for settings do u use?


btw.: tmpgenc should make a better picture, that´s why I ask....
