whats the plan?

[baker]

I was just wondering what are the future plans for all these tools. I mean some deadly tools have been relesead around here, do it fast 4 u, do CCE 4 u and the soon to be released reauthorist(AKA>do it faster 4 u).

I was wondering if there any future plans on how these tools are all going to be combined or will we have to create another tool... do it ALL 4 u"!!!!

Well, I cannot speak on behalf of the authors of these great tools. I do know, however, that the end result is going to be three tools integrated together to make the process of backing up dvd's hella easier. It may never get to the point of a one-click backup like some of the other tools out there, but you will have much more flexibility.

[BBWoof]

That's exactly the plan. And there is the possibility that once all three work like they should, we may work on integrating them into one program.

Sooo pleased to read this :)

When will reauthorist be released anyway?

[brashquido]

I don't know what log I've been hiding under, but I'm yet to use these wonderful tools (Doitfast4u and DoCCE4u) everyone seems to be going on about. I've tried one-click wonders like IC7 and DVD2ONE, and I think for 1:1 copies where the source is below 6GB they are definately worth a look.

From the what I've read of Reauthourist, it sounds like it's going to wipe the floor as far as functionality and quality goes. I was always put off by how involved the CCE/Scenarist route seemed to be, but these days would seem to be over once Reauthourist is released :D .

Sorry to revive a dead thread but just to let you guys know I have all 3 programs and am finding them very usefull especially the new re-authorist.

But my question is just what somebody above said. Are you guys planing on making all these programs into one program are just linking them like they are currently??

I suppose they will, it makes sense. But it is very early days yet. I don't think there is any great disadvantage to the way it is now. I'm a beta tester for ReAuthourist too, and had no expereince at all with Scenarist, CCE, DoItFast4U, DoCCE4U, or ReAuthourist before hand, and I was able to produce a perfect 1:1 conversion on my second attempt. I don't know if the process is any different for seamless branching titles, but just make sure you follow aquabubble's instructions and you can't go wrong. :D

I'm also beta tester of ReAuthorist (trying it right now actually :D ) and never had contact with DIF4U or Scenarist before neither. And everything seems to work smooth and easy (appart from minor problems). Howevr, since this goes the CCE way, it takes *lots* of time... also at the Scenarist stage! Yesterday I tried to load the project created by ReAuthorist and it took something like 2.5 hours to load, because of *zillions* of subtitles had to be imported.
I say this because I see there are three major steps in this way of doing backups, and manual intervention between each step. First run DIF4U and this takes quite abit to do its job. Then you should open ReAuthorist and this takes a hell lot of time 'cause it opens DoCCE4U and does the CCE encoding. Finally you must go to Scenarist and load the project and let it do its things, which also may take 1+ hours or so.
Assuming the total can be 10-12 hours, I would really like to see something that lets you set all the options at the very beginning, and such that once you fire the prog it goes through all these steps automatically, jumpin' from DIF4U to ReAuthorist and to Scenarist. That way you could be doing whatever other things you want to do (work for exemple :rolleyes: ) and find a final DVD project finished at the end.
Oh, that would be nice...

[brashquido]

Yeah, that would be nice :D (perhaps fire it into aquabubbles suggestions email address?). I'm sure the guys have something like this planned for the long term. For now I'd expect they are working hard at functionality, and stability as these programs are still very young.

What are the specs of the machine you do you're encoding on?

[Fmazzanti]

I've got an Athlon XP 1800+ with 512 of PC266 DDR Ram and three HDDs, one of 40Gb, another of 30Gb and the last one (for encoding) of 80Gb. All these run at UDMA100... Scenarist takes that much just because of 32 subtitle streams that have to be loaded and encoded :mad:

[fourtyfour]

servus...

What movie use 32 subtitles?!

If you use DoItFast4U then check your Subtitles twice.

Most of them are only for wide or letterbox.

But if you re-author with Scenarist, you need only one of them and check W/L.
