Compression%

I did movie and menus and got........... Reduction Level for DVD-5: 51.3%..............and on recode 2 I disabled the extras which is like movie and menus and got 80%....why is the compression so much better on recode

 

Are you sure you did the same thing in both programs, I usually compare compression level between programs and have not found any difference between RB, Recode, Clone or Shrink.

 

this is my second backup on rebuilder....and on my first one the compressions were close between recode shrink and rebuilder...thats why i am confused

 

Just what movie are you trying to do, and did you remove any unnecessary audio?

 

Well i just tried family stone and recode got it to 90% with me disabling the extras and just leaving the 5.1 audio on the movie................rebuilder gave me 53.4% when i selected movies and menus only (blank extras) and i also took off all but the 5.1 audio....whats going on?

 

the compression level is not showing/representing the gains the extra's blanking will produce.

if you notice it will say blanking all extra's below the compression level meaning that compression ratio is calculated before teh extra's are blanked.

may be you could suggest it to jdobbs.

 

so my results are better than they appear

 

precisely :-}

I guess you could do a self calculation but the thing with compression levels is that they are not alway's the best way to judge an encode.

 

what software should i burn with.....and how can i make rebuild automatically burn when it is done

 

Choose "Output to ISO" and "automatically burn with imgburn"
