No rush, just curious (with a little hope 
). Keep up the good work, both of ya 
1.30?? gee, we havenât released the 1.2x version yet 
Still working on it, tweaking around with the new compression engine.
Instead of our competitors, we only release a new version when we think itâs good enough to release it. We have no intention to release a new version every time the dog farted sorta speak 
So yeah, the new engine is 99% ready, Erwin is doing some tweaking with it to remove some issues we discovered while testing it.
OopsâŚmy bad, what I meant was 1.20 :o
Thanks Rene, for letting us know whatâs going on. I know it will take sometime to make a new engine, but I canât wait to see what it will be look like 
Well, throw us a bone, at leastâŚ!
What was the thrust/focus behind the intented Engine improvements?
Core compression ability/handling?
Better final-size estimation [again] with selective action-scene set-aside?
Compliancy approaches? Video stabilization?
Come onâwhat were the intents/issues governing the improvement and/or itâs focus? You knowâshare what YOU thought could be improved? Surely not speed?
Ohâand please tell me one of the 2 useless âclicksâ to open the interface is gone now?
Size estimation is something that is almost 99.9% dead-on with the new engine.
(i played around with that myself yesterday evening)
The overall lookâandâfeel of the compressed data is the main improvement of the new engine.
Also the mentioned removal of padding data, skipping data that we donât need (aka encryption errors begone)
And some more under de hood stuff we rather keep for our selves
âLook and Feelâ, huh?
I honestly didnât see much wiggle-room for movie-only improvement. I keep reading that CCE or even IC can produce âmuchâ better copies (oopsââbackupsâ<g>), but I just canât see much difference between D2O compressions and the actual dvd. And yes, I have a good eye/Panny CP72/NEC-plasmaâŚ
But I guess there is always room for a tweak regards the largest of moviesâŚso Iâll look forward to it (without anticipating anything dramatic).
D2O really did âdo it rightâ the first timeâŚ
Like a lot of others, I had wanted Full dvd-backup, and thought at first that D2Oâs emphasis on Movie-only was a mistake. But now that I know better, I shelf originals and watch only the M-O copyâit is such a relief not to suffer the menus/warnings/other crap.
How you came out with this beast, and when you did is beyond my guessingâbut âyou da manâ!
<edit>âPSâŚbut I still wish youâd lose those extra 2 clickâs into the thing!!!
iâm starving for the new version, checking everyday.
As a matter of interest, what will you compare the ânewâ version to? Do you have a movie transcoded with 1.1.3 that has visible artefacts?
What is the defficiency in the current version that you hope will be addressed in any future release?
Just curious.

iâve got a few movies that gave me artefacts and color-pumping after i had processed them. iâm hoping to get rid of that with the new version. then again iâm just curious what the new engine will bring. i myself am very content with the features so far and i donât care about splitting discs or compressing features at a higher level than the main movie. thereâs one little thing i care about though: the subtitle-problem when doing movie only. every time that movie starts with subtitles and i have to switch them off first. why not get rid of that and add a pre-command as you can do it with ifoedit? but thatâs a small one and i kinda got used to doing it with ifoedit.
rene told us about the new engine a few weeks ago and how good itâs gonna be. i thank him for letting us know. but donât let us wait that long after you told us about the new version.
and by the way: show me someone whoâs not excited about that new thing!
YAY, THERE IT IS, THERE IT IS!!!
THANX 
damn, i just realized that iâm at work right now and canât try it til tonight. someone help me.
Well, I donât know about your visual defect problems, but I can help you with the subtitles. I suspect their presence every time you start a movie is due to the setting of your DVD player. On my Pioneer 545 I can have subtitles on or off by default. Itâs just a setting you choose in the setup menu.
Donât you get the same thing with commercial DVDs?
As far as Iâm aware this isnât a DVD2One fault. I believe that subtitles (and audio) are left alone by the program.
-Pete
hmm, i see where youâre going. to be honest: iâve never fiddled with my player setup so far, cause it never happend with my commercial dvdâs. i think that might be because commercial dvdâs always use precommands while dvd2one in movie-only mode doesnât. so you might have a point there. iâll try that.
Actually, the subs starting âONâ with dvd-r copies (movie-only, inclusive of subs) happens with a few players. I can turn subs âoffâ in my Panny setup-menu, for instance, but with my old Apex 5131 it had to be manually entered by remote for each copy played (but not for original dvdâs).
Iâll assume a âflagâ issue for only certain players when digesting a dvd-r?
I donât know whether this is unique to D2O copiesâor all âone-clickersâ, but I imagine the number of players so affected are few (perhaps you should poll your users in this regard?).
