DVD Shrink v3.2.0.15 comparative tests / AEC Maximum Sharpness

Lord Of The Rings - The Return Of The King (R2)
==================================================================================

The source from which all the backups in these tests were generated was created with DVD Shrink v3.1.
It was a 1:1 copy of the movie title, using "No Compression", including one AC3 5.1 and one subpicture stream.
The subsequent backups then had to apply a compression of 40% or thereabout (DVD Shrink "Ratio" was 60.9%). The compilations were then made by using DVD Shrink "Re-author" feature, using "No Compression".
The audio and subpicture streams were also removed so as to make the compilations smaller in size.

DVD Shrink v3.2.0.15 settings: Deep Analysis / AEC - "Maximum Sharpness".
Instant Copy 8 settings: "High Quality" / Anamorphic (16:9)
DVD2DVD-R is a "front-end" for the only encoder in these tests: CCE Basic.
It was set to 2-pass variable bitrate (VBR), and is expected to yeld much better results than transcoders.
DVD-Rebuilder v0.56 / CCC v2.67 Basic: VBR_Bias: 25 / Quality_Prec: 16 / VBR_Passes:2
