I've been using the maximum smoothness settings on shrink. This makes copying run very long. About two to three hours long. My question is, is there a big enough difference in quality to justify the long encoding time?
To be honest with you Ive tried both and I dont see any diffrence in the quality... Maybe try either settings when burning a movie and see if u can see a diffrence if you can not just remove the deep anaylisising
I just use deep analysis. I recommend using this setting. None of the other enhancments. On a 36 inch TV I can see no difference, I don't know about bigger screens though.
Just some info on the AEC settings, which will help you decide. There is a noticeable difference on my 52inch set. But if you are not seeing any difference and the amount of time that it is taking you to backup then just use the default, you may however want to try it for some of the highly compressed movies such as KK, LOTR or Munich. http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=63fd9ea0d669cdf5c708c5e15a9d34d1&threadid=49051
Here is another one from that forum too: http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47035 I always have AEC turned on, and usually go with the default setting. Anything requiring more than 60% compression, i use DVD Rebuilder Pro with CCE as the encoder. It takes a while, but the results cant be beat IMHO.
I too have AEC on if it is needed it will then automatically turn on. It does make a difference especially on highly compressed. I just used it for Munich on Max Smooth and it came out very well.
