Experiencing Difficulty Using DVD RB and CCE? If So, Then Ask Your Questions Here.

Different movies can have different levels of compression for the same length of time so the compression levels for encoding will vary.
DVDrebuilder should do fine at this level.

Brobear,
The timings referred to previously: "AMD CAS 2-2-2-5 while putting CAS 3-3-3-8 in the P4 board" were for DDR2 on the P4 which is faster with looser timings. This is not unusual. The P4 actually had 533 to the 400 of the AMD.

In case you missed it the first time, the Intel-AMD discussion has been disccontinued on this thread. It's moved into an irrelevant stage at this point. We know faster processors equal faster encodes.

From that screen capture, the total size comes to less than 4.3GB, unless there is something you didn't show us. That means it wouldn't need to be compressed at all.

 

I didn't miss it. Just responding breifly to a comment as everyone else has.

 

Hitch Hikers guide is still a Mystery.

For those of you that are hardware challenged I'm going to make myself available to you so that you don't look foolish.

 

Hmmm? For the hardware biased? Seems I remember someone whose dream machine not long ago was a dual Intel Xeon processor and not an AMD. And the Hardware section would be the perfect place for an open discussion on the topic, wouldn't it?

How bout that Hitch Hikers guide? LOL

 

The ripped file was 7.7g and had 7 VOB files. I went ahead and used RB it showed compression at 54.9%. Did a two pass and it came out pretty good, could still see some noise in the background on some scenes.

 

Things can vary, but I've had little trouble with background noise on DVDs in the 8GB range. Was there any background "noise" in the original? Also, what kind of "noise" was it? I just backed up an old version of Conan and it was 7.82GB (ripped), it came out excellent.

 

What I see is a grainy appearance in the background. However, this video is part documentary and part dance video. The older clips that are incorporated are probably not all digital. Lot of them were shot in lowlight onto concert stages. The later dated clips come up perfect. So in this case it is the source video. RB did a good job with what it had and I have no complaints. Completed it in 137 minutes which is a good time. I know you can use the AvsEditor to the UnDot.dll but I have not gotten it to work, I do not think I am putting in the correct path, but I will keep experimenting with it.

Try undot on movies that have noise, it can clean some of it up.

 

There has been some minor questioning about the encode speeds that I've recently posted using my new machine. As we all know clock speed is the only benefit that Intel has over AMD, and even then its not that significant. If one can produce an AMD system that can come close to Intel's clock speed then Intel really hasn't any advantages left. AMD is better at just about everything else.


Encoders are among those few applications that benefits from Intel's clock speeds. But! What if AMD can approach Intel on its strengths, While leaving Intel behind on AMD's strengths? This has been my thesis and direction for building my latest PC. I think that if Intel doesn't get with the game, it's going to fall behind AMD in a major way.

To support my speed gains I did an encode of a fairly large DVD and I'm providing screen captures that are difficult to doctor.

Sorry I was seeing the image so I didn't know that others couldn't. Let me know if this works!

 

@ sophocles

can you check your pics?
the links seem broken


@ arniebear

i prefer undot + fluxsmooth for noisy sources

cf. here: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=54372

 

If you don't see the image then let me know.

 

@UncasMS

Thanks for the link, will try out those filters.

@Sophocles

Thank you for the advice given on the other forum in regard to the AviSynth version I was using. I had the 2.56 from AD but downloaded the 2.54 put that in and tried HC again and it came out perfect, no lines no unplayable disk. That was the problem all along.

 

Arniebear

Glad to hear that you've worked it out.

What forum was it?

 

I believe I was at DVD Rip, could have been Hounds it was a frustrating night when I did it. But no matter you gave out sound advice and it worked. Again thanks

 

That's enough, and it's knowing that something worked that makes it all worthwhile and a learning experienced.

 

Where and who? All I've seen is a sales pitch for AMD.

 

Since I'm not making any money from this, and I am telling the truth, exactly what is it that I'm selling for profit?

That was an unkind statement, it suggests that I have a monetary gain from winning this debate.

Genuine debates depend on the discovery of what's true, I only posted what I can prove to be true.

 

The truth caried forward.
