<big><big>Fails on Two Pass: The 2-pass encoding error remains unresolved</big></big>Currently, on "Initializing the compression" during the second pass, "_TranscodeProcess() : The DVD could not be converted." It seems that FairUse is passing something invalid to the internal 264 codec. This is an unresolved issue. This is likely a glitch in the FairUse software. Up the file size and use one pass or use alternative software if you are set on using two pass encoding. * DVDfab -* DVDFab Platinum 8.1.7.8* FairUse Wizard -* FairUse Wizard 2.11b:# Choose DVD Copy, Main Movie (as opposed to full disk)## Choose DVD Copy, Main Movie (as opposed to full disk):# Source: the DVD drive## Source: the DVD drive:# Target: the path where you want the output files saved.

First, use the slider below the video preview to find a good video frame which is nice and bright, making the dimensions of the screen area fully apparent. ## In the Cropping Region area click the Auto Set button. wait for it to calculate. Now make minor adjustments so that the crop area doesn't exclude any of the video. ## Frame Range - you can leave this or you can choose to cut out any studio stuff in the beginning. Some people cut out the credits at the end. If you do cut credits, do it after the main characters are named.## Check Include Subpictures, Show forced subtitles only, and extract subtitles ## click next# Screen 5## For field combination simply click Auto Detect.

A huge file is not necessary with [[H.264]]. If you are looking to produce a 2gb out file or larger, then XviD will work just as well as H.264. Where H.264 shines is with higher compression. It is recommend you target a file size between 600mb - 900mb depending on the size of the movie. 700mb is good for a 120 minute movie. But there is more on how we recommend you select what file size to use, below in the fine tune file size...## Now to fine tune the file size, --- Use the up arrow clicker to increase the file size one MB at a time. While you change the file size observe how it effects the Resolution settings below, specifically, the Output Video Size and Bits/Pixel. It is recommended that you increase the MB until the Output Video Size = 640x288 and the Bits/Pixel = 0.200. You can adjust the MB up and down until you hit this key target.## Encoding Speed - always choose Quality over speed.
