Earlier I said I would try out DVD Rebuilder.
 Well I have been messing about with it.
 
 I took a 150 min film (Mullholland DR.) and ran it through these
 modes:
 
 1. HC encoder mode
 2. Qu Enc
 3. Re Jig
 
 Quick and dirty conclusions:
 
 HC mode- after 7 hrs I just turned it off the time factor is just too
 impractical for my use. FAIL
 
 Qu Enc- took a little under five hours. Normally looked fine but when
 motion was moderate or fast very jumpy and unnatural. FAIL
 
 Re Jig- took 41 min. Overall quality was fine. Motion was fluid and
 natural. PASSED
 Did I have a winner? I compared it to a previous rip using DVD Shrink
 with deep analysis and AEC (smooth).
 Yup. The Re Jig still looked better. Not a stunning difference but
 there was a vividness in the Re Jig compression that the DVD Shrink
 one seemed to lack.
 Also they warn against authoring files before running through DVD
 Rebuilder and they were right. I did a little simple authoring using
 Shrink and HC and Qu Enc choked on it but Re Jig did not.
 
 Perhaps I have an answer to those times when DVD Shrinks says 60
 percent or less. Maybe in these situations I'll author and decrypt
 using DVD Shrink save to file using no compression then compress using
 Re Jig and finally burn with NERO.
 
 Time will tell...
