The BackupDVD is a powerful and helpful tool that can ease the process to perform your converson.
It gives quick access to the most used features of application and also can be used to preview and prepare
 the output material.
 

Requirements

• Windows 9x/Me, Windows NT4.0/2000 or Windows XP

• CPU with MMX technology. Dual CPU systems supported.

Installation instructions

Using Instructions

Using BackupDVD is easy!.

To convert a file the first you have to do is open the file whenever you run the application.
The possibilies to open files will depend on the current configuration,
but all supported media files are listed in the open dialog box.

The below screen pops up just when a file has been opened. Lets see what the main buttons do:

• Play: The button shows one frame after another, that is playbacks the file.
  This feature doesnt run in realtime, it totally depends on the power of your CPU.

• Stop: Stops whatever playing.

• Exit: Close the Dialogbox.

• Select Output:

  AVI Output
  Application includes an AVI output plugin that should be used to output AVI files from
  MPEG files. The basic procedure when using the AVI plugin is to select the suitable codecs
  from the 'output format' configuration dialog. user must understand that and AVI is a recipient in which media is carried in a given format. The format of the AVI is usually referred to as a 'codec' (compressor - decompressor) and user need the compressor codec to be installed in his
  system to be able to render AVI files with it. Likewise, user  also need the decompressor
  codec in the playing system to render those AVI files.

• Start Conversion: After Clicking on this button user can convert the open VOB file to selected output format.
• User can set the VCD PAL, VCD NTSC, SVCD PAL, SVCD NTSC settings from combobox of options. User can change the Source and Destination files from this dialogbox too.
   

• Options: If you succesfully opened a stream you should be able to open the
  configurations dialog. The window is divided in a series of tabs: video, audio,
  post processing, files and general that are explained below.

Video tab

• Frame Size:
  this will be the final resolution of the compiled video. The numbers must be a multiple
  of 16 because video codecs usually require that. If you want to compile VideoCD compliant
  MPEGs the resolucion has to be 352x240 for 29.97, 23.976, 24 framerates (NTSC) and
  352x288 for 25fps (PAL).

• Time Base:
  This will be the final frame rate of the compiled video. Important! From version 0.45 and up,
  this framerate is detected from the input stream if you're using the default profile.
  If you feel that Application didn't guess it correctly you can change the frame rate.
  Selecting a fps other than the fps from the original file, will imply doing framerates conversions.

• Video Structure:
  With Video Structure you can tweak the way Application decodes and handles interlaced and progressive content. Here we have the options available:
   

• Reconstruct progressive images:
  This option is only available with 23.976 and 24 fps setting. It's main use is for 24fps
  progressive encoded MPEG2 material. Check this option if your source is 24fps progressive.
  This setting is not an IVTC (inverse telecine); If the video contains the original progressive
  frames checking this option will effectively ouput those frames.If this option is not checked, Application will follow the MPEG sintax for decoding the video structure.
   

• Deinterlace video:
  If your source is interlaced you can use the video deinterlacer. The deinterlacer analizes
  the video and tries to convert it into progressive video trying to remove the interlacing artifacts.
  Use it with care because it's terribly slow and may be it won't help in your case.The video deinterlacer analizes the motion of the video. If a zone is moving, it blends or interpolates
  that zone avoiding the artifacts. In quiet zones, the full resolution is kept. You can tweak the behaviour of the deinterlacer by making him blend the moving areas (blend instead interpolate) or interpolate them. With the 'threshold' setting you control how much sensitive to motion is the algorithm. A lower setting means more sensibility (0-255).
  
  To help you decide what settings are the best ones for you, here you have a table:

• iDCT options:
  The video information inside MPEG files is stored in the frequency domain rather than in the spatial domain (the images we see). That way, the information gets compacted and that compactation can be used to compress (reduce) the amount of information you have to send over the transmission channel. MPEG uses the DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) to translate spatial information into frequency information.
  To bring back the spatial information from the MPEG stream you have to apply the iDCT, that is, the Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform, that undoes the DCT that was used during encoding.
  Although MPEG is almost deterministic (given a MPEG stream the output should be identical in all decoders), the standard has a degree of freedom when choosing the iDCT to use. That way, the decoder can be more easily implemented depending on the hardware below it. What the standard requires from the decoder is that the iDCT meets IEEE-1180 specs, or in plain words, that the error from the iDCT doesn't go beyond what IEEE-1180 imposes.
  Selecting 'Auto Select', Application will perform a benchmark of available iDCTs in your system and it will pick up the one that being IEEE1180 compliant is also the fastest. If you want to know more details about the iDCTs installed in your system, click on 'Perform Test'. A window will pop up and will perform the IEEE1180 test over the currently selected iDCT. Check the first line of the analysis result to know if the iDCT passes the test:
  for example for the default MMX iDCT you should see:
  Application Analysis result:
  IEEE-1180 32 bits integer precision using MMX Meets IEEE1180 spec

  Test time: 4.346 seconds
