im trying 2 use cce but i dont want 2 make the script. what is the best software 2 make it for cce?

You would have to give us a lot more information before anyone could be of much help. What format are you encoding from? What format are you encoding to? MPEG-2 for DVD use? CCE is a standalone encoder. You should just be able to select a input and adjust the encoding settings without a script.

But you could look to the bottom of the CCE toolpage for some guides: https://www.videohelp.com/tools/Cinema_Craft_Encoder

Or here for programs that are associated with CCE: https://www.videohelp.com/tools?toolsearch=cce&Submit=Search&s=&orderby=Name&hits=50&co...uthorfeatures= Some of those listed there may do what you want.

Or here on the CCE website for a manual on the encoder: http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/download.html#sp

Yes you can. Unless you have only the basic version of CCE (which allows only 2 passes anyway), then you can choose as many passes as you like in DVD-RB. And you can also choose many of the other settings (VBR Bias, Quality Precision, etc.), although the defaults are often the best settings to use. Others are automatically determined by the kind of material you have. In fact, with the level of knowledge you're showing in this thread, DVD-RB is far and away the best program for you to use. Maybe you should try and read a few guides before coming here and making silly statements:

ok im new to the hole cce sp but i know alot about dvd to avi



but anyway its more along the lines of me not liking dvd-rb. then anything else. but can someone just name other software like it and lets you use Cinema Craft Encoder SP v2.70.02.12

If you're talking about taking a DVD9 and reencoding it (as opposed to transcoding it) down to DVD5 size keeping menus and any extras/audio/subtitles you choose and want to use an all-in-one-program together with CCE to do it, there's not much choice. An alternative in common use before DVD-RB came along was The Big Three method:

You won't like it, though.

The best way (in my opinion) is to use PGCEdit, VobBlanker, Muxman, together with CCE (or HCEnc, keeping it all freeware) and do it manually. You have full control over everything that way. But it requires AviSynth knowledge. There are several 3rd party AviSynth script making helpers (AvsEdit, for example) that can create the scripts.

ya i dont want to get into all that.. lol


If there is no other. can someone help me out with DVD-RB then.

this is the prob

when ever i use DVD-RB and i finsh the movie, the movie will not play and it seems 2 be messed up. like no player knows how to start the movie the menu will play but the movie doesnt play. i open it in dvdshrink to try 2 play the movie but it didnt play only menu and extras,same with windows media player, and nero player. y is this?



im using DVD ReBuilder PRO 1.26.5 and Cinema Craft Encoder SP v2.70.02.12

if that helps anything

[GKar]

DVD-RB is fairly straight forward. Rip uncompressed with DVDShrink or Ripit4me for heavily protected disks, Vobblanker to remove all the junk and FixVTS to make sure it's clean then encode with DVD-RB using CCE basic.

Can you describe your process in detail so we can see where you are going wrong?

[zookeeper525]

will the log for dvd-rb do to tell you more about what im doing wrong??




o and i seen alot of tuts for dvd-rb. but i dont see anything that tells me how to pick how many passes i want 2 do. i have cce sp so i can do more then 2 passes but i dont know how to pick how many. how do i pick how many passes i want 2 do on the movie ?

[GKar]

If thats all you want to know....Settings/CCE Settings/Advanced (Expert) Settings

[zookeeper525]

ok, thanks GKar if i post the log for dvd-rb would that tell u what u need to know about the movie not playing ?

[GKar]

Sure, post the log.
