Why not ALL VTS sets processed ?

[apfraats]

I've a DVD with 8 VTS's.

DVD rebuilder leaves out 3 or 4 of them.

These set's are relatively small, but together they a good for 800 MB's !!!.

Why is DVD-REBUILDER not taking them into account ???

I supose they are too small and DVD-REBUILDER seems to think, they
are not of any interest of compiling.

But it does that per set, and have you a a number of these all together
usefull space is trown away in my situation 800 MB.

As a result of this, the compression factor for the rest is higher (MAIn MOVIE !!) amd the smaller ones take up all together valuable space of few hunderds of MB !!

This seems rather stupid. Did FULL backup. No extra's steal space or somthing like that.

This I consider unwanted beviour. I want to cpompress the full DVD and not letting DVD-REBUILDER filter mu;tiple smaller VTS's out of compression. It only results in less space for the important main movie.

Can this behaviour be changed ?

If want all the smaller VTS's compressed to. Will give 300 MB or more to main movie, which I consider rather important.

At least DVD-REBUILDER should give you the possibility to compress these VTS's too. No I have to preprocess the DVD with Shrink which has much more sense in it then DVD-REBUILDER regarding this. You even can set compression rating for each Title (even within a VTS-set !).

DVD-rebuilder should at leat take all VTS-sets into acount and with checkboxes the user should be able to select unselect the VTS's for compression. This is a big missing function.

Can anybody tell me ?

try doing a search before you say "this is a big missing function".

if you search on "minimum vts" you should find a number of threads that tell you how to set the minimum vts title size to process to 0, that way they will all come up.

Ok, youre right.

But I expect a programms user-interface to give me easy access to important options like this.

Not getting into 'internal' INI e.d. files.

So I'm going to search,are glad it is possible anyway.

But it would be nice if jjobs made such things easily accessible in its user inface, ehich isn't having too many options at all.

As an old reluctant DVDSCHRINK user I admit results are better with DVD-REBUILDER, but DVDSHRINK despite it is a transcoder has MANY MORE options in it. You can even slect a dfirrent compression level for EACH TITLE even when more titles are in title-sets. You can even have different compressions for each part of youre movie. You can blank ou a title with a still image for example 'USE DISC B' when you working on episodic DVD's with different episodes on it of a series.

That and more am I missing.

But many thanks, I will look it up.

the reason these are not aviliable from dvd-rb direct is because they can mess things up if your not sure about what your doing - think it was a jdobbs safty measure - you could ask him if he would put all the "hidden options" as they were into dvd-rb v1.1 - dont think it would make it into v1.0 as thats so close to being released

[jptheripper]

as for different compression for different title sets, you can use rb-opt to customize to the letter if you want.

and you can blank with a still (black), atm i dont think you can replace this with a choice of still as of yet

not only that, but you can blank credits with a still, which you cant do with shrink in full disk mode

Hmm well I'm going to donate tommorow, to gets it's DVD-RB-PRO version.

W'll see whats that has to add.

The argument settings are not accessible from within DVD-RB it a nonsense if I might say. This is the nicest way, and to prevent people messing up things, jjobs can just programm all the contraints he wants on these settings.

You've obviously never had to respond to numerous complaints caused by self-inflicted problems.

If you leave all these settings alone, and let DVD-RB do it's job you will get a high quality reproduction...

Reencoding a < 50MB VTS is not going to make a measurable quality improvement in the main movie... so what is the point???
