AVS Options
-
ConvertToYUY2()
If Enabled, the video color space is converted to YUY2 before reaching
the encoder. This should be ENABLED if you are using CCE. See the
CCE FAQ , Q. 14.4 for details.
-
AudioDub(BlankClip())
This option is a work around for a bug in some versions of CCE.
It is only needed if you are using CCE 2.5 and running a AMD Thunderbird
or Duron processor. See the
CCE FAQ Q 14.1 and Q 14.3 for details.

- Advanced (expert) Options:
- Filter Editor
This is meant to support filters, but can also be used to activate
other AviSynth commands. This is truly an EXPERT OPTION. If you
are not intimately familiar with AviSynth leave it alone. It can
make your encodes fail completely if incorrectly used. Note: Don't
use blank lines.
- Deinterlace with DECOMB
You must have installed the Decomb plug-in and defined it's path
in the DVD-RB SETUP window before you can use this option.
If Enabled, Interlace sources are deinterlaced with the fielddeinterlace()
function of the Decomb Package. This is recommended if you plan
on viewing your output primarily on a progressive display, such
as your computer.
- MPEG2Source("source",idct=7)
If Enabled, the SimpleiDCT is used for decoding the MPEG2 source.
This method, taken from the Xvid project, is (slightly) more accurate
than the default iDCT at generally the same speed. See
this post for more information.
- Disable "interlaced"
Source for the selected VTS will be treated as progressive -- meaning
"interlaced=true" will not be added to the ConvertToYUY()
line, no Deinterlacing will be applied, Zig-Zag encoding will be
used, and the progressive flag will be set. See this
post for more information on ConvertToYUY(). Also, note that
this is only an override for incorrectly flagged progressive material
that would erroneously be treated as interlaced. Progressive material,
that is flagged correctly, will be treated properly automatically.
- Resize to Half D1
Allows you to resize select Video Title Sets to half standard resolution.
This is within the DVD specs, but some hardware players do not support
it. Be sure your target player does.
- Convert from LB 4:3 to 16:9
Allows you to convert select Video Title Sets from 4:3 Letterbox
to 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen. This is only recommended if you have
a widescreen display.

CCE Options
CCE Basic (2.67+), CCE SP (2.66+), CCE SP (2.5)
Used to Select the version of CCE you are using.
One Pass VBR (w/Analysis) EXPERIMENTAL DVD-RB performs
a analysis of the video and then encodes with CCE One-Pass VBR mode.
This requires half, or less, of the time for a normal CCE encode, but
output size is not guaranteed and quality will be less than the standard
Multi-pass method. See
this thread for more details. |

Advanced (Expert) Settings
These settings are for advanced users, and do not have
to be changed from the default. More information can be found in the
CCE FAQ , Q. 7.
-
VBR_Bias
This setting controls how CCE distributes the bitrate. To quote
jdobbs:
"When you do your first pass the bit allocation per frame/gop
is set based on a constant quality. The bias determines how much
weight is given toward keeping that allocation. Setting it higher
prevents wild swings in bit allocation between frames/gops. Setting
it lower makes the encoder allocate more bits to high demand areas
as needed and less to low demand. ...The higher you set this value,
the closer you get to CBR rather than VBR."
-
VBR_passes
Sets the total number of passes the CCE encoder makes. NOTE: This
setting is not equal to CCE's "passes" setting because
CCE does not count the initial .vaf creation pass.
-
Quality_prec
Also known as Image quality Priority in CCE 2.5 and Quantizer
characteristics in CCE 2.66 +. This setting ranges from 0-64,
but is scaled for CCE 2.5 which uses a 0-100 scale.
This setting controls whether CCE gives priority to the fine details
of the image, or evenly colored flat areas. A low setting will
give priority to details, but could result in blockiness or color
banding. A high setting will favor flat areas, but could result
in edge artifacts

QuEnc Options
- Trellis Quantization (Slower, Better Quality).
A encoder option that improves quality, but nearly doubles
encoding time.
- Custom Matrix (QLB on v.53) .
This uses a custom intra and inter matrix good for lower bitrates.
- Single-Pass Encode (Faster, Lower Quality)
If Enabled, encoding is done in one pass instead of the normal 2-pass
method. Quality reduction could be significant, especially with
low bitrate material.
- High Quality Mode (slower).
This slows down the encoder but gives higher quality. It is the
same as using -mbd=2 in ffmpeg.
If you only want high speed encoding, turn this off. But otherwise
it is recommended to leave it on.
- Scene Detection
If scene detection is on, then scene changes are detected and I-Frames
are inserted. This can provide better use of GOPs. However, it can
produce strange GOP sized. With Scene Detection off, the GOPs are
now (as of 0.51) strictly enforced to use a strict GOP format. (i.e.
it won't replace B - Frames with P-Frames in High motion)

ReJig Options
- Minimize Disc Space Requirements
Reserved for future use.

 |
Special Error
Processing
- for special cases in which certain #0003 or #0004
errors are encountered -- this is temporary and will be removed in future
versions. It is recommended that this option only be used as a last
resort after you've encountered one of these errors -- and not before,
as it can cause other unpleasant effects. This option ONLY affects the
rebuild phase. It is meant to counter what appears to be bad source
timing parameters.

Set Background
Color
- This option
will allow you to set and change the color of the background on the "Windows
Standard" skin (or any other skin that doesn't include a graphic background).
Please note that graphically oriented skins have fixed colors that will cannot
be changed by this option.

Setup
- Application Paths
The appropriate path must be set here before you can use certain
encoding modes or features. In addition, when setting a CCE path
you must select which version to use in Options: CCE Options
on the main menu bar.
Path to CCE Basic
Use this to set the path to your CCE Basic (2.67+) executable.
If you are using a TRIAL version of the program, you must first
install and configure EclCCE and use the path to that program
INSTEAD of the original CCE Basic Trial Version executable.
Path to CCE SP 2.5
Use this to set the the path to EclCCE, which must be installed
and configured to use the CCE SP 2.5 executable . DO NOT set to
the CCE 2.5 executable directly, even if it is NOT a trial version.
DO NOT use this setting with newer versions of CCE.
Path to CCE SP (new)
Use this to set the path to your CCE SP (2.66 or greater) executable.
If you are using a TRIAL version of the program, you must first
install and configure EclCCE and use the path to that program
INSTEAD of the original CCE SP Trial Version executable.
Path to ReJig
If you plan on using the free ReJig transcoder, you must set the
path here.
Path to QuEnc
If you plan on using the free QuEnc MPEG2 encoder, you must set
the path here.
Path to EclPRO
If you plan on using Canopus ProCoder you must set the path to
EclPRO here (take a look at its section
to see how it works).
Path to Decoder
If you installed the DGDecode.dll file into your AviSynth Plugins
directory, you should not have to set this. If you do not want
to auto-load the plugin, or are receiving script errors, you can
set the path to the plugin here.
Path to DECOMB.DLL
If you plan on using the AVS Option "Deinterlace with Decomb"
you must first set the path to the Decomb.dll here

- Special Settings
Run Encoder(s) Minimized
Those Encoders that support it will be run minimized. CCE 2.5 does
not support this, even with EclCCE.

- Audio to Remove
Check to Remove - CHECKING a language here will
automatically REMOVE all audio tracks in that language by default
when selecting a new source for a project.
- Remove all DTS
If Enabled, all DTS audio tracks will be removed by default when
selecting a new source for a project, regardless of language
- Subpictures to Remove
Check to Remove - CHECKING a language here will
automatically REMOVE all subtitles in that language by default when
selecting a new source for a project.
