That's where DVD ReBuilder (DVD-RB) comes in. This program was built to bridge the gap between the incredibly easy but limited "one-click" solutions and the incredibly complex but high-quality methods of DVD ripping and backup. Another advantage of DVD-RB when compared to older methods is that it doesn't require access to an expensive authoring package. DVD-RB includes its own reauthoring engine that reconstructs the DVD in a way compatible with its original design.
Over the course of the past couple of years DVD ripping techniques have changed dramatically. Newer "one click" programs have made backing up a DVD a fairly simple process... but there is a significant trade-off. The quality that can be attained by even the best of these programs is poor in comparison to original techniques that used Cinemacraft Encoder, TMPGEnc, or other top-notch encoders. The reason is simple. When using one of these encoders the picture is rebuilt from scratch and optimized for the resulting bit rate. One-touch transcoders usually change quantization and/or motion info in order to lower the bit rate. This can result in pixelation and poor overall picture.
DVD Rebuilder PRO features:
- Closed Captions - Now DVD-RB will extract closed caption data from the original DVD and remultiplex it into the MPEG stream during REBUILD.
- Menu Encoding - The ability to scan and reencode menu segments in the same way as standard title sets.
- Multiple encoder instances - On multiple core computers and some very fast single core computers using hyperthreading this will take advantage of unused processor time.
- Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
- Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
- Segment Blanking - Provides you a capability to remove annoying intro screens.
- Slideshow Mode - Convert "Extra" segments into a slideshow, saving valuable space for the Feature.
- Advanced Encoding Features - Modify GOP size, add customized encoder quantizer matrices, set DC precision.
- Movie-Only - mode that gives the highest quality possible. Every available bit is dedicated to the feature.
- One pass encoding support for HC encoder - Gives high quality results in much less time.
- Graphic Analysis display for use in analyzing the IFO structure - draws PGC/CELL relationships.
- ISO file creation is now supported to make it easier to archive or burn DVD-RB's output.
- Automatic burning using ImgBurn or DVD Decrypter - makes complete DVD Backup truly "one-click".
- Remapping audio tracks - set the default to your language or preferred format.
- New intuitive interface - modernizes and simplifies control of your rebuild!
- Full support for video interleaving (ILVU) - re-encodes angle and seamless branching.
...and more... with many additional features planned in the near future!
Changes in Version 1.10.9; October 6th, 2006 :
- Fixed a bug that could cause erroneous "Corrupt Stream Detected" message to occur during REBUILD.
- Corrected an issue in which settings saved before a batch process may not be restored correctly at batch end.
- Corrected an oddity in which unreferenced cells may not be included in the sizing calculation -- resulting in output undersizing.
- Fixed error in which bitrate values from use of the beta Viewer/Editor are not being written correctly to the ECL file when using CCE SP2.
- Modified the default bitrate for segments that contain less than 60 frames. Discs with huge numbers of small segments could cause some oversizing.
- Fixed a rare bug related to loading of Project files.
- Further improved ReJig sizing algorithm. This should prevent undersizing that was previously observed.
- Adjusted code related to the processing of .ECL files.
- Improved sizing algorithm so that it can properly account for some oddly formatted discs.
- Added code to more accurately predict sizing when working in "Movie and Menus Only" mode.
- Updated the installer to include HC Encoder v0.19.
- Other minor and cosmetic changes.
