DVD-RB .87 and HC.14 good combo

[Oldeman]

Just ReBuilt a long movie at about 60% compression using DVD-RB.87 Pro and HC.14 encoding best quality (2pass) setting and defaults. Took about 210 min on my 3.0E P4. But, damn it looks good.

Great job guys.... Have to say, I'm impressed.
:D

I have been using the HC encoder for about a month now and its great, been using it the up to date Rebuilder Pro version when they come out. But i have a one problem with the HC encoder with a Season 4 DVD of a popular canadian tv show, it would stop and switch back to the menus (tried 3 players and defraged the drive) half way thru an episode and when i tried to burn Nero told me that it was not DVD compatible. So I started from all over again and encoded it with cce 2.67 and it worked prefact!! Any ideas on what may have gone wrong. I posted my thought in this post because i was running these versions at that time.

Were you using OPV? There was an issue with that in HC in OPV mode only that was fixed in .14.

sorry, a little new at this! What is OPV. I am using hc.14

It is an option to encode a disc with One Pass Variable bitrate (OPV) instead of two passes... faster (only one pass), in some cases maybe better (with CCE SP, maybe HC) but at the sacrifice of not always getting the correct size you want.

ok, i understand. I was using 2 pass at best quility!!
