Cinema Craft Encoder SP3 v1.0.3.1 Retail

Cinema Craft Encoder SP3 (CCE-SP3) is a high performance MPEG-2 encoder designed and optimized mainly for DVD, enabling you to create the ultimate level of picture quality at high speed.
& D. a) A0 C0 {+ _. C& HCinema Craft Encoder SP3 is a software-based encoder, and highly utilizes processors for the fastest encoding.
It also implements highly intelligent and complicated algorithms to achieve the highest quality, which gives a great advantage over hardware encoders.
Some of them are totally innovative and unique technologies of Cinema Craft Encoder SP3.

Cinema Craft Xtream (CCX) Encode Engine
( {6 @2 K( ~4 U, X! m4 DThe CCX engine is highly regarded as the finest MPEG encoder engine in existence.
Cinema Craft encoders are used to produce a long list of released Hollywood DVD titles. What used to be the domain of sophisticated hardware systems produced by Cinema Craft is now available to you.

With the advent of multi-core processors, it is like having a team doing the work of one.
6 `8 u$ o) v! P4 uParticularly with a CPU-intensive task such as MPEG encoding, it is good to split the calculations among multiple processors equally.
With eight cores, each encodes 1/8 of the content resolution.
This can make processing go very fast indeed, resulting in multi-pass quality that can be attained in faster than real-time.

9 ~* y8 s: a# e, T& O6 W7 ^Virtual Multi-Pass Encoding
8 d* U: s& N$ Z+ r8 A5 j' rDuring an encode, there is a tremendous amount of processing. These calculations help to build a sophisticated processing model that gets smarter with each pass.
Cinema Craft Encoder SP3 not only does multi-pass encoding of the source, it also adds the sophistication of performing virtual passes in memory when scene changes and complex transitions warrant extra care in tuning the model.

Advanced Adaptive Quantize Matrix
& r9 }! l+ T  k$ k. N: N6 ~Perhaps the one area where the CCX engine really shines above all other encoders is the level of sophistication given to the routines that perform quantization.
MPEG is highly compressed and a lot of visual information has to be discarded.
You want the end result to look good, not fuzzy.
Most encoders simplify this step.
Cinema Craft Encoder SP3 adds GOP-level adaptation of the quantization matrix, continually adjusting to changes in luminance, light levels and motion.
During each pass, the quantization becomes more exact. The result is awesome picture quality.
8 y" J' \% c- g: `9 A
Advanced Adaptive GOP Structure
Another CCX exclusive is the added sophistication of varying the size of the GOP structure depending upon its analysis of the content.
Most encoders have a fixed GOP size and placement of the I, B and P frames. Not Cinema Craft Encoder SP3. It adjusts the size depending upon motion and scene changes.
2 {' N: D9 L7 d. eWhen there is high motion in a scene, it will reduce the size of the GOP to produce a more accurate picture.

Segment Re-Encoding improves productivity because by eliminating re-encodes of the entire source every time you make a change.
' }1 w3 K; k# PYou can re-encode only the specified part of file with it.
It is now possible to re-encode only the segment that has been changed, thus saving a lot of encode time when you are under a deadline.
