Experiencing Difficulty Using DVD RB and CCE? If So, Then Ask Your Questions Here.

I used DVDDecryptor in file mode for all the disks. In addition to doing full-disk backups with Rebuilder, I also ran vobblanker to create 2-disk uncompressed backups. The 2-disk backups work properly.

I am in the process of processing the last disk of the box and will try the free version again afterwards on the same input files as a comparison. Could take a while as my computer(Dual P3 850mhz) takes over 15 hrs to crunch each these disks. Even if I can figure this out, I will not go back and re-process the 4 disks that skip the menu, as it took me over a week to create them.

 

If you've whittled a movie down to where it is close to fitting on a DVDR then you don't really need RB/CCE, just use any transcoder and you'll be fine.

Sophocles is correct, at low compression, most of the transcoders do a good job. Shrink or Recode are good choices. Then there are CloneDVD2 from Slysoft and InterVideo's DVDCopy3. The Copy3 is a personal favorite of mine and does an excellent job. Read all the requirements and make sure you have all the required software updates for windows that are needed (mostly Windows Update), if you go with InterVideo's app. There is a trial at http://www.intervideo.com and the Slysoft site is http://www.slysoft.com . RB with CCE is usually reserved for tasks where the best quality is desired and/or there is a need for good encoding at higher compression.

 

OK. I got the lates encode burned to disk. It seems that the problem is now gone in RC2. This last disk was re-encoded using the RC2 version of Rebuilder Pro and it works fine in my standalone.

BTW. I had problems with the interleaving in 'The Incredibles' using either .93 Pro or RC1 (can't remember which). Is that corrected in RC2 so that I can back-up that disk again?

Did you say interleaving??????????

And I'll bet their were multiple angles too????

Did you ever hear of the DareDevil tests?

 

I've done some interleaved movies without a problem (Hide and Seek is the latest, also did the Incredibles with RB/CCE but don't remember if there was interleaving on it), it's the multiple angled movies that I have problems with. Although Hide and Seek took 3 and a half hours and most movies take between 1 and a half and 2 and a half hours.

 

I did The Incredibles with whichever version was out at the time, I don't remember which. I do remember I didn't have any problems and I encoded the entire disk.

 

I probably wasted 3 DVDRs on The Incredibles DVD, I might have to copy the entire disc itself to a DL-DVDR. ;-(

@Jdobbs

I recently encoded The Fellowship of the Ring and I noticed there were 2 problems which resulted once the encode was complete. I had automatic shutdown enabled in DVD-RB once it finished and the program just hanged with only 5 seconds remaining.Also when I went to burn the files with Nero, the DVD allocation failed. It read a statement resulting in a non-critical error and I don't know if it was entirely safe to actually burn the disc. I'm going through the recently encoded backup to see if any errors should turn up but I thought you would like to know.

 

Well... I made a backup of the Incredibles (PAL R2) without any problems either.

 

I haven't had a problem with interleaves or multi angles since the movie closer. I sent jdobbs some info on it and he had it fixed within two days.

The interleave, multi angle DareDevil tests were over a year ago. I was just joking.

 

For those of us who have been around a while... We know. LOL

 

I believe it's been talking about in here, but I don't have the time to scan through 90 pages! So I'm hoping that someone remembers if there's a fix to this: I'm trying to copy Schindler's List and am running into trouble at exactly the 50% mark of Side A both using DVDShrink and DVDecrypter both being up to date. Is there any other program that works to copy this DVD or a trick to copy it using these 2 programs?

Thanks,
Slick

 

Do you mean rip it to your hdd? This thread is about DVD RB and CCE.

 

I backed up Schindler's List without any difficulties and I don't recall hearing any reports about others having problems with it either. This leads me to believe that the disc is damaged. My first suggestion would be to try and clean the disc. If that doesn't work then write down the file that's preventing you from ripping the disc and then using DVD Decrypter rip every file on the disc but the one with the problem. That can be done by highlighting the files to the right except the one that's a problem. Once that's done, again using DVD Decrypter go to Tools, settings,Device and at the bottom right look for options. Check set read speed and then set read speed to the lowest setting that you see. Now at the top go to I/O and then under options check "ignore read errors." Now try ripping just the file with the problem.


Good Luck

 

Wrong thread... but. Soph is right, it could be just a fault with the source disc. Try using a tool like the freeware DVDInfoPro and check the disc for read/write errors. I believe you need to look to the icon with the magnifying glass, if I remember correctly on that app. Checking the disc would determine if that is the problem and possibly save you some time. Or simply look at the disc and see if it has surface problems. Used discs can develop a fuzzy look when used a lot and sometimes get severe scratches from careless handling. If that is the problem, a resurfacing tool that polishes (like SkipDr) can help. I don't think I'd buy a tool for just a single disk though.

BTW, you chose the wrong thread. The forum is set up for posting to threads that pertain to particular problems and/or software. None of this has to do with RB/CCE. We do try to be helpful though.

 

am checking out dvd-rb just a novice b-kind but does v.93 used with quenc or hc have the abillity to create the iso needed for burn w/ decrypter

also is h.c. compliant looking it don't actually have an hc mode would I just atake rebuilder out of one click mode and run back and forth between program's I have heard good thing's about hc such as cce's equal but faster is it really better than quenc(or any other freebies) one that is linked to dvd-rb. any opinions? (other than I'm a cheap bastard!lol)

I think maybe it's time for dvd-rb forum shrink has it's own does any body remember the excedrin ads "I have a headache this biigg" if you have'nt been watching this thread since the beggining then there's a good chance of getting lost.

 

do not mean to upset the apple cart said it b4 &i'll say it again very informative & friendly web-site (and gr8 app 4 that matter) maybe it's me but 90pg's is just tooo much patient's must be a virtue that i was born without. maybe I should go get some tested 4 add. is it just me or what? Experiencing Difficulty Using DVD RB and CCE thread!

 

Sorry for posting in the wrong thread, but thanks for the assistance. Using DVDInfoPro, I found out it was really the disc that was giving me the problems. Sorry but thanks for the info guys!

No problem, just that the mods sometime frown at threads going off track. BTW, you're welcome.

Getting back to RB. Look under Options, select Setup. There you'll see where to put in the path to the HC encoder.

CCE is the best encoder for use with RB. Many say HC is nearly as good. Quenc? Never tried it because others said it was no where near as good as CCE or HC for use with RB. With reliable sources having noted their results, I figured it would just be a waste of time. When the weather gets bad and I'm suffering from cabin fever and nothing better to do, I might try Quenc then.

 

Don't waste your time brobear. It's not nearly as good as CCE and takes twice as long. I haven't tried HC yet but plan to. While I'm here, brobear would you look at this thread and see if you could answer my question please? http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/108247
