DVD-lab PRO 2.34

Posted by admin under Software

The DVD-lab PRO version 2 is a next step in DVD authoring for advanced users who need accessible and easy to learn tool with full range of DVD features.

Most of the existing tools are either very expensive and hard to master or are limited in implementing DVD specifications. Many tools that are often marketed as advanced or for professional use are actually only more expensive consumer applications with pre-cooked DVD structure and questionable user interface.

DVD-lab PRO is based on the idea of original DVD-lab. Instead of insulting the users with an overdone flashy interface, DVD-lab and DVD-lab PRO put strong emphasis on the usability of it. The Modern Windows GUI can be tweaked and reorganized to everybody taste even across multiple monitors.

DVD-lab PRO is also one of the very few applications on the market that grows with your requirements and knowledge. Users of other applications usually either outgrow them very soon or they need to study a long time before they are able to create even simple project.

We put a lot of effort to the DVD-lab PRO so it offers benefits of both worlds. It is easy to start making first DVD’s but it doesn’t stop there. As you continue to master the craft you will realize that DVD-lab PRO offers an unlimited range of design flexibility and delivers the goods even for most demanding designers.

DVD ReBuilder 1.26.5 Pro

Posted by admin under Software

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 1.26.5:
- Added a REDISTRIBUTION threshold test that limits the amount of low-side deviation allowed in the calculation of redistribution. The default value of .5 limits a bitrate reduction (in redistribution) to half what would have been given in a standard DVD-RB encode. This dramatically reduces the likelihood of getting values that are too low in dark scenes. The threshold can be adjusted via a hidden setting in the OPTIONS area of REBUILDER.INI. The value (REDIST_LOW_THRESHOLD=) must fall in the range of 0 to 1. Any other value results in the default of .5
- Added a “hidden” setting called “REDIST_USE_FINAL_Q”. If set to 1 (REDIST_USE_FINAL_Q=1) in the “[Options]” area of REBUILDER.INI, a set of prediction passes are run on the main-movie VTS (largest) to determine a Final_Q value that is used for REDISTRIBUTION rather than the standard Base_Q. This will add a little time to the PREPARE phase and some reports have been made of improved quality based upon subjective analysis.
- Corrected an error in which pushing the ABORT button could, under certain circumstances, leave an encoder executing in the background until it completes its current task. It might also result in a “Could not clear output…” error if an attempt to restart encoding happens too soon.
- Updated “Batch Mode” so that it will, when appropriate, write to blank disc. Note that you must (obviously) change discs between writes in order to write more than one during the batch process.
- Added a separator bar to the FILE menu to distinguish the “Shutdown on REBUILD” functions from those related to Batch.
- Added code to limit the sample size to 1% when performing REDISTRIBUTE_FINAL_Q analysis. Any more is simply a waste of time. Note this does NOT affect the percentage used for determining REDISTRIBUTION — only determining FINAL_Q.
- Corrected two bugs that were introduced in v1.26.4 (which was released as a beta only).
- Other minor and cosmetic changes.

Changes in version 1.22, February 24th, 2007:
- Improved program robustness in several areas, it now recognizes more oddities in the source and compensates to reduce likelihood of output glitches.
- Added detection and auto configuration for multiple core processing. Now the “Multiple Encoder Processes” setting is automatically set to match the number of processors at startup or when clicking on the “Multiple Encoder Processes” option. If you only have one processor and select the option, DVD-RB will assume a “fast” system and will set the process count to 2. You can, however, manually override the setting by changing the “Encode_Processes=” parameter in REBUILDER.INI (for instance if you want to use only 2 processors for encoding on a 4 processor system).
- Made the new style editor the default.
- Updated code to make DVD-RB less likely to run into security issue when running under Windows Vista.
- Added an “Auto” setting to the MOBILE settings dialog for “GOP Size” — this will let FFMPEG decide the size.
- Added parameters to hold constant Q when used with H264 for MOBILE encoding. The parameter wasn’t being honored with previous versins. Constant Q is enabled by entering a video bitrate of less than 32 (interpreted to be a Q value).
- Corrected “Runtime Error 461″ that can occur when attempting to drag entries in the “Batch” list box.
- Changed the way in which rate control parameters are passed to FFMPEG when doing MOBILE encoding.
- Corrected “Error attempting to close DVD” that occured when MOBILE encoding attempted on a source that wasn’t PREPARED with MOBILE options.
- Faster HC encoding speed (especially SSE2 supporting processors. Updated the installer to include HC Encoder v0.20
- Improved rate control on QuEnc. Updated the installer to include QuEnc v0.72
- Other minor and cosmetic changes.
