Tmpgenc & CCE

[Hawk]

Hi,

I´ve been looking at a lot of posts on both this and other forums, it seems CCE & Tmpgenc are the 2 main encoders people use. In a lot of posts people say CCE is much better than Tmpgenc. Is this true or do they produce about the same quality encodes.?

Yes, it seems to be that way :)

With my experience, I can say that CCE produce much better quality than TMPGEnc. However, I used TMPGEnc only a few times and there's several parameters I haven't played around, which may, in fact, produce better quality than I can do at the moment. So, you better try both and experience by yourself ;)

Most people agree that if you are creating a svcd then cce is the best. But tmpge is better for vcd's. CCE is very tempermental though, and you might have problems getting it to work correctly. Your system must be set up correctly and have no driver problems (such as video) or you will pull your hair out trying to figure out why cce crashes all the time.

I started as a newbie (still am) with DVD2SVCD and TMPGenc and ripped my first eight DVD without any problem. Then I descided to try to use CCE 2.62 after reading the forums at Doom9.

Then my problems started............. "cant find.......", "cant open....", "BBmpeg" crashes, etc.

I gave it up and now I'm back with my sweet TMPGenc again.

My opinion is that TMPGenc gives superb quality. Even try to force bad quality with "simple resize" and not using highest quality in "motion search..." gives exelent quality.

Everyone have there own opinion, but mine is to use TMPGenc


Cheers

$48 compared to $1950 could also play into your decision

Certainly if we're looking at a price/quality ratio TMPGEnc wins flat out.

Guess that CCE must have some advatages with that price!!!!!!!!! My concern is if it's worth finding out for a newbie. Must be tricky as I followed the guides when trying.

.....but: dont put cheap or free programs aside. DVD2SVCD is "just as good as it needs to be" (maybe more). Other programs as for ex. DUP-DVD cost some money but does'nt work and gives shit quality.
