Frequently Asked Questions :

Q: I have tried to do a DVD backup with both Xvid and Divx5 and both are producing noticeable undersized files no matter what target size I set.

A: If the files are undersized, then you must probably have reached the maximum quality that could be for the movie length at the resolution you chose. You can either encode at a higher resolution, give more bandwidth to the audio, or to encode a longer movie.
This can for example happen on movies like \"From Hell\" or \"Avalon\" that have lots of dark scenes, because dark pictures can be compressed a lot by the codecs. \"From Hell\" will usually not even fill a single CD with a 128 kb/s audio track.

Q: How do I enqueue several encodings to run them all at once later ?

A: For each different DVD : create a project, create one or more sessions, defer the sessions, defer the project. When everything is ready, run the projects encodings from the project page rather than opening a single project.

Q: FairUse won\'t recognize the audio stream in a few of my dvd\'s.

A: Current releases of FU can only deal with AC3 audio tracks. Probably your non-working DVDs don\'t have any AC3 tracks, but MP2 or PCM instead.

Q: Is there any chance to see AviSynth support in the next FairUse release ?

A: I will not add AviSynth support to FU, because FU was not designed for this, and there are tools like GK that are designed to achieve this kind of tasks.

Q: How can I use FairUse to transcode the VOB files that already are on my hard drive ?

A: You can\'t. FairUse was not designed to take input from VOB files.

Q: The movie I just encoded looks fine, but has no audio.

A: Be sure you added at least one audio track to your encoding session.
