I'm using HC Encoder 0.16 with DVD Rebuild and the past 2 times, it has taken almost 5+ hours to complete. Is this normal? I can't afford CCE, so I'm using the encoders that come with the free DVD RB. When I first tried it, it only took 4 hours or less and I think that was with Que Enc. I don't get any errors, because the final result is excellent.
Any insight to this would be helpful.

The time to complete is depenent on the size of the starting file, are the file sizes similar? I have no experience with HC to Que Enc so I can not comment on the potential difference in encoding speed between the two.
When you say you can not afford CCE are you talking about CCE SP or CCE Basic? I use CCE Basic with DVR Rebuilder and get very good results. I think CCE Basic is $60.bits -
You don't mention how long the video in question is, but I use QuEnc often and a 43 min video usually takes between 3 - 4 hours using 2 pass VBR.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the size of the file is 6.6 gigs and it's a tv episode dvd. I'll try Que Enc this time. the other dvd was a tv one too about 7-8 gigs.
I even shut down my internet and close down alot of other programs to free up memory. -
I sent you a PM message
Using CCE 2.5 ... takes 500 minutes ... 9 Passes
or about ... 300 minutes ... 5 passes -
Fill in your computer details so we know what you're working with. For all I know you might have a 486 and a 4 day wait.
I run a 3Ghz P4 with 1 Gb ram. CCE 3 passes takes around 3.5 hours for a 90 - 100 minute movie. CCE (2.70) uses approx 346mb (+/- 1 MB) of ram for the hwole time.
So, if you only have 512MB ram, life will be slower. If you have a slower CPU, life will be slower. HC is slower than CCE, so life will be slower. If you are happy with Quenc, why change ?Read my blog here.

gadgetguy asked how long the DVD was, and all he got back in reply was that it's a TV series DVD of 6.6 GB. Since they commonly cram in more than 3 hours of video for the TV DVDs, the encoding times for those will often take twice the length of an ordinary movie. Whether it's 23.976fps Film or 29.97fps Video (if NTSC) is also quite important. The original size of the DVD has little or nothing to do with how long it'll take, I don't think. It's all about the number of encoded frames and his computer power (and encoder, number of passes, filtering, etc.). Based on incomplete information, I don't think those times are out of line at all. If you were to do a 100 minute movie-only backup next, your times will improve considerably.

As gunslinger suggested put in your computer specs. That way it would be easier for members to assist you in answering your questions. -

Even better ... buy the package deal of CloneDVD2 and AnyDVD ... use them together [use CloneDVD2 to remove the trailers and other useless stuff] ... and then shrink your projects with DVD-RB
I also use DVD-RB to shrink my NeroVision projects too. -
RE: If speed or time is a concern, why re-encode instead of split?
Sorry... Meant if it's episodes, why not take original video & use as is, but put on multiple discs. That way there's no time or quality hit. -
I tried Rebuilder with Quenc for the first time. I usually just use AnyDVD/CloneDVD but King Kong is 3 hrs. and I figured the compression would be too high for my 50" Sony. I know CCE is supposed to be better but I wouldn't need it that much so I went with the free stuff. My question is: I used Quenc settings of "High Quality Mode (slower
and "Trellis Quantization (very slow)" it took 488 min. (8+ hrs.) to process the already ripped files. Is the Trellis mode worth the trouble?
Can someone tell me the best settings for quality that deosn't take so long.
Is HC better and/or faster than Quenc?
I thought CCE basic only allowed 3 passes, is this true and how long does it take? I don't mind 3-4 hrs. if the quality is very good, but 8 hrs. is a little much. Thanks.I love children, girl children... about 16-40
