MilesAhead:
New HCenc beta

Ah, another release. :up:

Hard to believe this MPEG2 encoder is free. Man, I'm glad I found this gem. :-*

Hmm..I haven't yet tried the new optimized version of the encoder. Anybody check it out?

MilesAhead:
Now I'm using it through AVStoDVD latest alpha.  But what I'd like to do at some point is devise some simple system to demux the audio and just put the video through HC Enc, then remux at the end.  Only thing is I'm not sure how to tell if the audio needs to be "fixed."

Esp. if you have an HD source a lot of audio is AC3 640 kbit.  Not "compliant" so it triggers audio encoding when, from what I hear, most players manufactured recently will play DVD with 640 kbit AC3.

That and trying to cut clips of .mkv and .m2ts to try, are a couple of the stumbling blocks keeping me from using HC Enc without a front end. Plus I'd have to read up on all those settings of course. :)

MilesAhead:
Hmmmmm, not so bad with the Gui.  After demuxing the audio I just run in through ac3fix to check for bad frames.  Use a bitrate calculator to set the bitrate range.  Make a 2 line .avs script to load the video and apply a resize filter. For the time being I'm using DvdAuthorGui to author the DVD.

Now that I at least can do basic conversions I can read up on all that lumens jazz. :)
Of course this first one was easy because I didn't have to mess with subtitles.

sajman99:
MilesAhead, a freeware named Simple DVD Creator was mentioned in the AVStoDVD Doom9 thread some while ago iirc. I think the guy was going to output as elementary streams and use Simple DVD Creator to author.

Never used it personally--it may well be too simple for your requirements. What little feedback there is sounds good though.
