Batch Processing, where did I go wrong?

Well I did a search and couldn't find anything, so here is my question;

I tried out batch processing last night for the first time. I set it up correctly by opening up two rebuilder projects in the batch processing window. I get up this morning and the rebuilder log seems to be okay, it shows the rebuild times for both sets of files. However there is only one 4.3 Gig VIDEO_TS file in rebuilders output path.

I have DVD-RB free version .96

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks

you should set each project to each individual output path (name each output seperate). then you should get 2 seperate folders.

 

Well that makes a lot more sense than what I did. Guess I'm more of a noob than I thought

Thanks for the response

 

you welcome.

 

Arg no, it didn't work.

I set it up to do three movies. Each movie had it's own folder for the working files and for the ouput files, so there was a total of six folders. I only got one set of ouput files for one of the movies.

Should each movie use the same "working folder", or was I right to assign a different working folder for each movie?

Are there any in-depth guides to using the batch processing?

This is how i did my batch processing.

1st - i chose the source path.(this is where my movie)
2nd - the working path (this i just use 1 folder for all the movie)
3rd - the output path.(this is where i name each one seperatly)
4th - then i save project as project1, project2 and so on...
5th - batch processing, Add the project1, project2 and so on.. then click start..

 

The working folder can be the same. That is just the folder that DVD Rebuilder usses to temporley keep the files it is making. I have my Working folder set up in the DVD-RB programs folder. Once DVD-RB makes the final folder it will delete the files in the working folder when the next DVD in your batch starts.

What you need to do is...

Step1- Choose the source DVD you want to do.
Step2- Edit the DVD however you want it.
Step3- Make a folder for your final FIles.
Step4- set the destination folder to the new created folder that you just created.(make sure you create and name each destination folder different then the other)
Step5-Save the project.

Now you will do that for every DVD you are doing. After you get all projects made and saved choose the BATCH mode and add all the projects in and start.

It would be easier to have it output an ISO file instead of Folders. That is just a sugestion.

I havent used the free version of DVDRebuilder. Will that even let you do BATCH mode? I thought that option wasnt availble for the free version.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I got it to work correctly

Yea I thought that the free version wasn't supposed to have the batch option, but it does. I will buy the pro version just because I have gotten a lot of use out of the free version, so it would only be fair for me to fork out some $ .

 

well..... fair or not....... the program is just one that I can't do without! it's money well spent and my collection is better off for it!

 

I agree 100%

At first I had problems with how long it took to do a DVD. But I found out that it was my Hard Drive that was not working properly. I installed a new 1 and now I am getting great speeds on it.

It is so easy to set up the DVD's in batch mode and have DVD-RB do its work over night. When you wake up the next morning they are all done and ready to burn. Pluss an added bonus of great quaility DVD's.

You can not go wrong with this program. I will never go back to the other programs I used to use.

 

there is no reason to make seperate folders for destination and work path. under mode, uncheck enable "output" directory. now when you set up rb all you will need is sorce path and work path. destination and work path will be one and the same and the work files will be deleted upon rb completion. i name my work path folder "THE MOVIE NAME" CCE without quotation marks then after completion of rb there it is on my hard drive in a nice n neat little folder all by itself.
