I'm trying to keep the original content of a dvd (friends season 1) which is about 5.7gb by transcoding the the episodes with CCE. After going through this process below, the video is always out of sync. Is it even possible to transcode with CCE to and remux the smaller m2v back into the vobs and keep everythign in sync?

1) Rip the whole dvd via smart ripper via backup option
2) Use DVD2AVI 1.86 and make a d2v file after selecting the first vob (i put the audio track to none)
3) Make an avs file (avisynch) as follows:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("D:\pvcrwork\2\video_ts\disc2.d2v")
ResampleAudio(44100)
4) load up the first vob file in bitrate viewer to get the info needed to select in CCE
4) load the avs file into CCE 2.5 and do a one pass vbr with settings recommended by doom9.org and bitrate viewer
5) do a multipass vbr (4 passes) with settings recommended by doom9.org and bitrate viewer
6) do a pulldown
7) remux the new file with ifoedit and correct the sectors via vts get sectors.

Am I doing something wrong? i purposely skipped the chapterxtractor part because i dont' think this dvd has any chapters... at least i can't get chapterxtractor to detect any but 1.

also i notice that if u encode via rempeg or tmpgenc it gets it's info from the original gops (either thru the cffl file or the tmpetemplate.txt file) where as cce doesn't... does this mean cce can't be used to transcode???

i did a search for dvd and cce and i dont' see any other posts about people transcoding DVDs with cce... only SVCDs...
