DVD ReBuilder: Settings

Does DVD-RB make CCE use Adaptive Q-Matrix switching?

I have an Athlon 64 X2 4400+ CPU and using DVD-RC Pro (:thanks: ).
Should I check multiple enocder processes? What does that option do?
I'm using CCE encoder.Definitely for HC or QuEnc -- it will dramatically improve... but CCE will not allow multiple instances -- so the setting will be ignored.

Does DVD-RB make CCE use Adaptive Q-Matrix switching?By default it does not. This is because CCE warns that it may create streams that can cause problems on some players. You can enable it, though, by adding the option "CCEAQM=1" in the "Options" area of the REBUILDER.INI file.

Any idea what kind of problems?

Edit: So adding that line will override the matrix selection settings in DVD-RB Pro?

Thanks for replies. CCE is using 75 to 80 % of both cores and I get over 4x encoding speed so its still good.

Ignore this post. It was a mistake.

Using CCE SP 2.70.02 with AutoQMatEnc Mode and DVD ReBuilder 109.3, I am seeing these two messages and can't seem to find why I am getting them. I have put the 'CCEAQM=1 in the rebuilder ini. Does it matter where it is put in the ini? How and where to change the setting for the warning on 'You enabled the Create New VAF' be done to make it as it should be. Using any of the other encoders I have no problems but these 2 things always happen with CCE.

If you are getting those messages you aren't set for using CCE -- you are set for AutoQMatEnc -- which is an entirely different encoder.

[85thor]

OK! So I did not setup my settings right. I misunderstood and pointed cce to AutoQMatEnc...LOL Thanks for the quick help. I will fix that.:o ;)

I am assuming that this is an issue with CCE SP 2.70, but is there anything I can add to my Rebuilder.ini file to make CCE run minimized? It used to run minimized when I ran CCE SP 2.67, but not 2.70. Thanks.

P.S. - I already have run apps minimized selected in options but that doesn't seem to work for me with 2.70.

[jdobbs]

Unfortunately not. The application itself will run in minimized mode, but the status popup won't. The issue has been brought up with Custom Technlogy and they have said they will look at it -- but no guarantees.

Mr. jdobbs, DVD-RB has come a long way. Are there any certain additions now in the works and do you have anything in the back of your head is to what it might become in the future.

It would be awesome for it to be able to have some control with one or more encoders to have a setting to control output of NTSC to PAL and PAL to NTSC. I do understand why and the how of it being a complicated process.

The second thing that bugs me most of all in working with DVD is with Full screen and Wide screen. As I still have a regular screen TV, the wide screen format isn't that much desired. But nothing out there seems to be able to deal with that kind of change very well. WinAvi can change it sometimes BUT most often the people become very thin! LOL Just some of my wishful desires...;)

[jdobbs]

Hmmm... probably the best way to do that is by applying Pan & Scan. That way you still have the entire widescreen if you ever upgrade your monitor... but it will play the center of the film on a 4:3 monitor. Is that what you're looking for?

[85thor]

Yes, that is an excellent idea! Had not thought about that.
Thanks!
