to re-encode, if i'm being lazy, you hit "rebuild", or if i'm being exceptionally lazy, i save 10 projects, add them to a batch and hit start, and then it re-encodes 10 dvds.

@ Spud:all that nifty stuff & then you've got AVG???

Post subject:
I'm generally not stupid enough to get viruses in the first place so i could just get a sticker that says "no viruses found" Therefore a draconian ram sucker like norton or mcaffee are shite in comparison. AVG eats far less RAM and does a better job for the most part than any other alternative i've used thus far. More over, there's no nagging or nannying whilst its sat there doing nothing too btw. I forgot to put it down since i don't even notice, i use Directory Opus instead of explorer.

ZoneAlarm
eMUle

Just a word of warning, unles somethings drastically changed, that's a very "dangerous" combination. ZoneAlarm and p2p do not mix as far as resource usage goes

cbb emule link transfer

how does that compare to ED2K-Linker?

Dunno, never used ed2k linker LOL It's almost completely transparent though - I never see nor hear from it, even if emule isn't running. If emule isnt' running, it just passes the links over next time it is

Well i might as well post this for DVD Shrink users, have a look here:
http://forum.dead-donkey.com/viewtopic. ... +rebuilder

You'll see it more as technology gets better that the job it does re-encoding just isn't up to scratch (okay the screenshots aren't great on either, but it does this to all movies, whereas dvdrebuilder doesn't block nearly as much, and you've got custom matrixes and avs scripting if you know how to do that)

DVD Rebuilder - basic settings, 2 pass

DVDrebuilder pro can be found via an emule search, and you can find versions with CCE packaged too, worth a test at least.
