Ulead DVD Workshop 2 Reencoding (Sucks)

[Thracks]

Alright.

I converted three SVCDs to 720x480, VBR 0-8000 (avg 3150). 192kbs AC3 audio (Transcoded from 2ch mp2 streams).

I did this with CCE-SP and AviSynth. Output was excellent.

I ran pulldown.exe on the 23.976 FPS files.

I cleaned up some erroneous frames with Womble MPEG-VCR.

The result was an mpeg file WELL within specifications for a DVD. Audio is spot on, video dimensions, bitrates.. Everything.

I ran the file once through TMPGEnc DVD Author, made a menu, produced a nice little DVD. But I wasn't completely satisfied with the menu, so I picked up Ulead DVD Workshop 2.011. Made another menu, etc.

It says in their help that if you click the clip, and then uncheck the box that says "Convert clip to profile selected" that it won't do any conversion.

So why in the hell does Ulead DVD WS2 insist on reencoding my file even when I tell it god damn not to?

:mad: :mad:

Ulead says that you have to change the project settings to that of your file to prevent re-encoding.

You should give DVDLab or DVDMenu Studio a try, if you want flexible menus. Trials available Link (http://www.mediachance.com)
