Sorry if this has been discussed before but I did a search and came up with nothing.
I created a 2 movie DVD(I make 2 movie DVDs cause good DVD+Rs are still close to 2 dollars a piece without rebate) with DVD Movie Factory that came out to 5GBs. The movies looked awesome I created with CCE and Avisynth. Instead of reencoding the MPEG-2 files, I ran DVD2ONE using the Full DVD setting. They were VBR files created with settings of:
------------------
First Movie
Min bitrate:0
Max bitrate:5500
Average Bitrate: 2700
Avisynth: Convolution3d(MovieHq)
---------------------
Second Movie
Min bitrate:0
Max bitrate:5500
Average Bitrate: 3000
Avisynth: Convolution3d(MovieHq)
I ran DVD2ONE on the DVD and many parts of the DVD came out extremely blocky, especially on the faces. You would actually have time to count them, if the persons head was not moving.
My guess is that DVD2One is not very good at transcoding a DVD that does not have the same Average bitrate throughout.

It must be something else as virtually all Hollywood releases are vbr.

I had the same problem when I tried it again with DVD2One, but no issue with InstantCopy on another computer. Could it have something to do with the movies being 2:3 pulldowned?
