i've used DVDShrink ever since ive been backing up my DVD's, but ive heard so many good things about DVD Rebuilder, so i thought id give it a try. i must say that the pro version is well worth it. it has so many more options to tweak the video to your liking, and i think its needed to actually produce a great picture. i also think that unless you are willing to learn all the advanced options, youre better off just using a transcoder, like DVDShrink.
With movies that have a lot of noise, i find the basic settings in DVD Rebuilder just dont cut it. without using the advanced settings, like adding filters, and using the matrices, the overall picture can actually look worse than your average transcoder like DVDShrink.
i've been doing MANY tests on the movie Gladiator, and the first few minutes of the movie have a lot of noisy scenes. using CCE SP, 3 pass VBR with no advanced settings tweaked, the picture did look more detailed and sharp compared to DVDShrink's output, but CCE added so much more noise and macroblocking, that i actually found DVDShrinks output was better. using the QLP matrix, and the undot avisynth filter made the picture much better than before. so this is just an example of the need to learn the advanced settings. |
