    Well ... without a little humor, hangin' around here would be too much like work ... rather than a labor of love. I've gotta say, though, the timing and wit that 'Soph delivered with his liposuction comment was pretty damn good.

    Ok, I started using Rebuilder/CCE and I got an error.
    It says...
    DVD-RB ERROR: There is nothing to do! DVD-RB couldnt locate the appropriate files in working directory! You must PREPARE AND ENCODE first. Aborting.

    Now do I have to run the movie through a program like DVD-Shrink first to encode it and compress it to DVD-5 size? Then DVD-RB/CCE just encodes it again with better quality?

    @fidrake: You need to supply some more details about how DVD-RB is setup and what steps you've done. Are you working in 1 Click mode? What version of CCE are you using and have you checked to make sure you have CCE Mode set to the correct version? Also, if you're using the CCE SP trial make sure you're running it with EclCCE and have the path for CCE SP pointing to EclCCE.exe instead of CCE's executable.

    I looked for the information that Preator had stickyed and it wasn't there. Perhaps it should be put back up for a while longer.

    It's the last section of the basic guide now which is why it isn't a sticky any more.

    In the directory you designated as your Working Directory there should be another directory called D2VAVS. In that directory there should be a number of files created during the Prepare phase. There should be one or more D2V files, several AVS and FLG files, and REBUILDER.INF and REBUILDER.ECL. If the video has actually been encoded (and it sounds like it hasn't) there will also be M2V and VAF files. If the M2V files aren't there, try playing one of the AVS files in any media player.

    The files did not play. I feel it hasnt been encoded at all. The dvd in size is still around 7GB as I havent compressed it after Decrypting it. I just put it right into Rebuilder. Could this be the problem?

    No it sounds like the problem is AviSynth. Did you install AviSynth 2.54 and MPEG2DEC3dg.dll?

    Ahhh you are right. I only installed the .exe in the MPEG2DEC zip file. I read now that I have to put the .dll in my rebuilder directory.

    Last question before I try this again.
    The dvd I am compressing has no extra features on it and Even after getting rid of all the foreign language tracks it still leaves me with the main movie which is 7GB's alone. Does rebuilder compress this or should I do that before running it thourgh rebuilder?

    Thanks alot.

    Yes they are old remnants of your previous attempts, I'd just go to the folder and erase them manually.

    Best wishes

    The help is very appreciated guys. Alright so does Rebuilder make three new folders in the source folder? It would be AUDIO_TS, VIDEO_TS, and D2VAVS? So now I can just burn the AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders?

    Yes there's a lot of extras, if you're using nero burning rom then just open it, select video DVD, then new, and then drag and drop the vidoe_ts folder into the red icon on Nero with the same name. And bur baby burn.
