CCE vs ReMPEG2 in an IFOEdit conversion

[Scoobydeux]

Just finished my first IFOEdit project, keeping all menus but ripping out extras and unwanted sound tracks: Blade 2. Whew! Success!

But, I have a question along the way! I used the doom9 guides for ifo-edit, and everything worked as advertised, I ripped out all unwanted stuff. When I got to the TRANSCODING bit, I decided to use CCE via DVD2AVI and avisynth. The result was a great new m2v file, excellent transcode! But when I tried to mux it back in, the audio was way off, and the playback jerky?!?!?! I then transcoded with ReMPEG2, remuxed, and voila, success.

Someone else hinted that CCE transcodes cannot be remuxed in IFOedit. Apparently this is true, from my result. Why not?

What do you guys prefer for the transcode?

CCE is great for the speed, quality, and control, and I would much rather use it.....

Did some more searching, found answers to my own questions at doom9. For any other newbies reading this, when CCE takes its uncompressed format from DVD2AVI, it loses the frame construction, and therefore the frame references that exist in the dvd ifo files don't match. Rempeg2 keeps the original frame makeup order, and slams a smaller file back in exactly the same format, just smaller.

So, not as good quality, easier to do. Apparently, no fix in the near future is available without a total reprogramming of ifoedit or cce to make the ifoedit/cce combination a possibility.

Sorry for posting this question without researching more on other sites.

Cheers!
