Is CCE Basic worth buying ? If you are generally going to use it only with DVD Rebuilder, and only occasionally, probably not. HCEnc can also be used with DVD Rebuilder, does a damn fine job, according to some, rivals and even betters CCE at low bitrates, and it is free. In fact, it ships as part of the DVD Rebuilder full install. If you want to spend a little cash, I would suggest you buy DVD Rebuilder Pro instead.

Personally, I find that Shrink (actually, any transcoder - this is not a Shrink specific issue) reduces the quality too much for such a large reduction. For episodic discs of that size I would either split them across two discs, and probably not need to reduce the size at all, or use DVD Rebuilder and encode at half-D1.

Rip the disc to your HDD. Open it in DVD-RB, and click on the Options tab. Expand the branches AVS Options, then AVS Expert options, then Resize to Half-D1. From here you can select the titles you want resize when re-encoding.

All you need is DVD Rebuilder Pro. To expand a branch either click on the little + sign next to it, or double-click on it, just like any windows program.
