Ok 5-6 h is a long time haha. Still worth it imho if we can do almost dvd quality playback images to play. I'm in to encode some of the big time classics Ian if we can use this together with something that has a nice UI . Like Dcmc .
Or a "simple" first presentation screen with with 2 options would be enough,
- play
- quit (reset DC)
And a placeholder BG (that ppl without skills can change like BG in Dcmc) for coverart and a small box for short info and maybe a IMDb score and release year etc , much like mrneo240 openmenu.
Sorry , I'm just dreaming here

When you say it takes 5/6 hours to encode, is that a limitation of the encoder or is that based on your current hardware speed? My PC has been built specifically to tackle film/digital video at any standard, so I'm just curious if that render time could be reduced depending on hardware.Ian Micheal wrote:encoding is very long 5 6 hours if you want the best you have to wait this not the same bin found on disks i built this version from src with katana r11b

Joking aside, does anyone really care now ? I mean it's 20+ years old software that's not being used otherwise.

It would be awful if this leaked online - let's all keep our fingers crossed such a terrible thing doesn't happen.
