New compression introduced, the selective ratio engine.
This new engine is a different way of approaching the video data! Selectable in three pre-defined levels, this new engine determines the balance in distincting the important screen parts from the less important ones.
Things that are not in focus in the current frame, like backgrounds, are low in detail or as we define it, of low importance to the screen.
and can be approached differenty than the important ones.
With this new compression method, setting the slider to low will lead into a scheme where the important parts of the screen are a bit more compressed than the less important ones. Compressing of low important parts can result into macroblock because the original encoder in a good encoder setup already achieved the best possible compression without loss of detail.
In medium the important parts are even more compressed than the non important parts, and in high the compression is almost done only on the important parts.
However in all three mode's the less important parts are still being compressed, because that is still mandatory to get the desired endsize.
By using this new method, the macroblocking (over compressed parts) will be less visible than with the conventional approach.
If they occur they will be more eye friendly shaped, meaning they are not 100% square but a bit more dithered shape.
The human eye will notice them less in this non square shape and thus resulting in a more pleasantly viewable version of the picture.
But all encoders are based on different motion detection scheme's, meaning there's no golden rule.
Most of the time setting it to medium will give you a very descent looking output, however with some encoders setting it to low or high might give a better quality output.
It's advisable to experiment with these settings on different discs from various distributors and view the end result on your setup by burning the video onto a rewritable disc.
Mac OS-X customers will get this new engine when Jack returns from his well deserved holiday.
Before buying this product, please first evaluate and test it.
* Processes the movie exactly like the full version, but the output is limited to 30 minutes of video.
* Compression ratio based on the full length of the movie, not on the 30 minutes that will be processed.
* Evaluation period limited to 14 days.
Recommended way of testing:
* Use a rewritable disk (-RW or +RW) to test the result! Remember that it only contains the first 30 minutes of the movie.
* Test the result on all players you are going to use.
* Test multiple titles if possible, not just one. Use titles of different manufacturers.
# DVD2one is 'try before you buy' software. Before buying DVD2one, first make sure the product is working satisfactory. Please follow instructions from section Try.
# Because of the type of product (software) and the method of payment (online with credicard), it is not possible to cancel an order nor give any refund.
# The registration code you receive will work with all future V1.x versions free of charge.
# You have a 1 year warranty period against loss of the registration code.
# DVD2one for Windows and DVD2oneX for Mac OS-X are separate products. The code for DVD2one will not work with DVD2oneX and vice versa.
# Price is only 39.99 Euro for the Windows version and 49.99 Euro for the Mac OS-X version.
# Above prices are excluding VAT. Customers from the EU have to pay 19% VAT.
