Want highest quality, time no issue

[jdobbs]

Based upon my experience, the default values provide the highest level of quality across the widest range of sources. I would only recommend making changes for specific reasons related the source. I would agree that 3 passes are probably the most you should ever select.

Using DVD2SVCD and CCE, I sometimes went as high as 5 passes. It superficially sharpens, but you can't get something for nothing. I think it increased mosquito noise and essentially you have to pay for that sharpness elsewhere in the frame.

Like everything, it is a matter of tradeoffs and questions of taste. 3 passes is probably the best compromise, especially when you can get bitrates above 3Mbps.

well, they said the CCE was placing a logo in the movie, so what s the point to test if I have a freaking logo ???
so, I was not very motivated at the start with CCE ,and when i tested HC 5-6 months ago, HC was doing a good job .so I throw away all the CCE I have download.

now i regret it, cuz I would like to test the speed, I will see if i can get a new version of this CCE and if i can run it for 30 days.

trail always places logo on. YOu are testing, not keeping, so it doesnt matter
