I'm new to the DVD encoding world. I'm browsing through sites such as www.doom9.net and www.vcdhelp.com to get more information. I thought I'd give the forums a try and see if you guys can help me out.
What I'm looking for is decent quality backups - w/ Dolby Digital (AC3) if possible. I have a dually system and I'd like to take advantage of the added horsepower. Anybody know of SMP aware encoding apps?
From what I understand, DivX has a better quality/size ratio - yet SVCD can work on set-top DVD player (but no AC3?). I have a dedicated DVD/MP3/Gaming computer hooked up to the TV. So I suppose either would work. But the flexibilty of being able to play on set top players would be nice.
Any tips? This is all new to me, so any advice would be very helpful!
Thanks in advance!
