Best encoreder for DVD Rebuilder

[cd090580]

Hi,

All is in the title,

which one would be the best and fastest encoder for dvd-rebuilder ? hc, quenc, AutoQMatEnc, any other one ?

Thx.

CCE Basic ($60 US) or HCenc (free). IMO, the others aren't in the running...Being either transcoders (ala DVDShrink) not actual encoders, or way too slow/quality not up to par. HCenc from what I understand has had a nice speed boost in encoding speed in the latest release, putting it on par with CCE now, although I can't verify that (or it's quality for that matter) - I haven't used it in a long while.

[edit] I may be wrong, but I think you can also use Procoder with DVD-RB these days..Price/quality unknown (look it up ), but I understand it's on par (speed wise w/ CCE) and many people prefer it's encoding quality over CCE. I'd suggest getting trial versions of both to try before you buy. We can all say how X encoder is better 'til we're blue in the face, it won't matter if you don't like the quality of the output on YOUR encodes.

[edit2] Damn, 'normal' Procoder has got a somewhat CCE SP like price ($350), but they've got an 'Express' version that will set you back $60.

You can run the option for 'multiple encoder' instances using HC (as well as QuEnc), and from some recent posts in the Doom9 forum, the speeds for dual instances of HC are getting close (but still slower) to those obtained by CCE:

But this option needs an Hyperthreading, Dual Core or Dual CPU system. On a single core I doubt I will get faster encode.
