DVD2DVDR has never been that good for NTSC video. I would suggest just using DVD2SVCD with special settings for DVD. Then you can reauthor with either Senarist (sp?), DVD Maestro, or that new DVDFab thing. (I think DVD Fab is the new one).

@flaystus, I usually respect your opinions, but where are you getting that DVD2DVDR has never been that good for NTSC films? The poster was referring to a quality issue which i'm sure has nothing to do with DVD2DVDR, and your response just makes it seem as though it does. If you can specify and give some facts as to why DVD2DVDR has never been good for NTSC films...please do so. As far as DVD2SVCD...it has more issues that i've encountered then does DVD2DVDR.

Also, if your referring to the issues of NTSC films in IFOEdit..that has nothing to do with DVD2DVDR..and using IFOEdit to author after using DVD2SVCD's advanced options, will also cause issues.


I will agree that from personal experience DVD2DVDR is not "good" for my NTSC films..it is "ASTOUNDING"..yielding at least equal to or in some cases BETTER QUALITY then the originals.


As far as the original poster goes..seeing that is their first ever post..i have no clue if they are trying to advertise for main concept...but I can tell you that is real weak...to even say Main Concept in the same breath as CCE should be considered a damn sin.

Unless I missed something here on the board and a newer version is out DVD2DVDR still clips some NTSC movies short, or screws the video up because it does not calculate the number of frames correctly for the encoding script file.

To be honest I've not seen a new verison mentioned in a long time, so it is entirely likely it may have been fixed and I missed a posting. I'm simply suggesting a way that has never failed me thats very similar to the one he's already using.

As far as the CCE vs. MC thing, personally I've never used main concept so I cannot make a comment either way, I would however assume that CCE is the better of the two by default.

Boy some folks are missing out on a great program. The newest version(s) of DVD2DVD-R are fantastic for NTSC movies. I've been using 1.4.6 and 1.4.9 with absolutely no problems even with CCE. As far as i'm concerned and of course this is just my opinion, DVD2DVD-R is the best DVD-9 to DVD-R program going.

@flaystus, the issues you are referring to with DVD2DVDR are not with the program itself. Even releases going back as far as 1.3.2 were extremely stable. If you are using IFOEdit along with DVD2SVCD, the issues will still be there. DVD2DVDR works amazingly on NTSC films...you just have to use other programs to author because of IFOEdit's non-ability to handle NTSC .M2V files. Some people have reported that in some rare instances, this IFOEdit issue is non-existant on their particular standalone players...the standalone players in those cases seem to rectify it...but I wouldn't want all my movies to be corrected by a standalone player, IF that is correct.

Anyway, if there are any known issues with the program itself....excluding other programs..such as IFOEdit...then please let me know..because i'm not aware of any.

Also, again, the original poster...showed some ridiculously blurred pictures and said CCE caused this while Main Concept did not...what a crock of crap that is...lol...and on their first post...obviously someone trying ot market main concept..and a VERY WEAK ATTEMPT at it.

[Faustus]

Yes IFOedit has a problem with NTSC also, but I can promise that at some point DVD2DVDR also had issues. It was in the ECL file that it creates for CCE, it would count the frames to pass into the file as if it was PAL and butcher the movie. Like I said it could be fixed now and I just never noticed.

@defense, hi m8. Yep you are totally correct in what you are saying. 1.4.9 has no problems what so ever. Even earlier version hardly had any problems. I have not come across though what this person is experiencing (AlexDMM). And i wish other people would get there facts correct before slagging a program of which they don't even use or used once, when it was in a beta stage.

[defense]

@Wayne, it was obvious this alex character is making a very lame and weak attempt to market Main Concept. The reason they tried to attack DVD2DVDR is because they are aware it's basically the most popular program on this site which incorporates CCE.

The other one step programs such as DVD2ONE, INSTANT COPY 7x, DVD SRHINK, and any other one step program...they know those use their own transcoders and figured they'd try to show a comparison between CCE AND Main concept...I actually found the post really amusing....anyone that uses CCE has enough sense to know that this is just some weak ad for Main Concept.

[jarvis1781]

the fact that the link also takes you to a website with a language that I don't even recognize is amusing. and the original poster hasn't been back to comment, so I think you are right Defense
