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

@ BroBear

My 2 other HD's are internal, as for configuration...hmmm I just installed them with the software that came along with them. I tried moving my movie files from my E: (which is the maxtor) to my c: which is my main one 80GB) and it still ran extremly slow.

And also took advice from another buddy and he told me when all else fails format your hard drive, so I tried that, and to begin with it was running at 1.40+ but I returned when I woke up in the morning and it had only done 25% and was running at 0.60 for speed.

lol...I like the program but for the time...hmmm...

@bigorange and 64026402

thanks for all of the help... i am *still* struggling with this disc but im pretty sure its the way i ripped it originally, ive never had as much trouble with any DVD as this one. im just going to wait until its returned to me and re-rip it because a friend is borrowing it and i refuse to waste anymore time tinkering with what i have. i HAVE learned quite a bit from this tho

The above would be an example of sensitive information. Few of us can afford a standalone version of a $2000 software.

When you encode, how many passes do you have it set for. If you only set it for 2 then you should complete in around 3 to 4 hours with your system, but set it to 4 to 6 passes and it could take 10 or more hours.

 

@ Sophocles

Well It depends on the movie. I just did Boiler Room with Vin Diesel and I did a 6 Pass as the compression was about 70% and it took 21 hours. LOL I know that sounds retarded but I have tried alot of things I have tried formatting, I have tried unpluggin internet connection, running virus and spyware scans and I am running out of options aswell...lol...

Sorry had no idea that was sensitive information, do you have the software? I had no idea...

Thanks for the help sophocles!

@predator9
Something is "very" wrong with your computer... I suggest you take him to some technician that can fix that for you.

I usually make my encodes on a AMD XP 2000+ with 768MB Ram and it takes me (medium) 2-3 hours with CCE 2.50 at 2 passes (Vaf+1 pass).

Your computer is supposed to be faster
(OT: long live AMD lol)

 

predator9

Six passes is a lot but I think that something else is slowing your system down. Check to make sure that all of your drives are set to DMA.

On your desktop go to "my computer" and right click, choose "properties", "hardware", and then "device manager." In the list look for IDE ATA ATAPI Controllers and click on the + to expand it. Right click on your primary channel and check to see if it's set to DMA. If it says PIO mode then you need to change it to DMA. Then do the same for your secondary drives and then reboot.

 

Have you tried closing unnecessary programs, (ctrl + alt + delete). AOL is a major resource hog, defragmenting also if you haven't already, also any problems with the PSU recently? Also have you tried backing up with DVD Shrink to see how long that takes just to show for the record?

 

Thanks guys,

Yes, I checked all my hard drives all are on 'Ultra DMA mode 5'.

I have tried shuting down all the excess programs to no avail, seem s to keep at the same speed anyway.

Starts off strong at about 2.50 for speed but always ends up back down at about 0.6 or so.

I usually do less passes on less compression of course, I did a 5 pass right now and it took 849 Minutes.


It is really frustrating. I have no idea what to do, you have seen my specs and know everything...but still I have no idea what is wrong.

This sucks!!

Thanks for your help.

Pred...

EDIT:

And when I do DVD Shrink it takes about 12 minutes. for a DVD9, so I am debating going back to that.

I have tried doing CloneDVD2 first and elminating everything I want off of the DVD and tried just doing the DVD straight, both ways I end up with slow as hell speed.

 

Now that is fast, even for a DVD5.

Did you ever take my advice and delete everything associated with RB/CCE and do a clean install with the Rockas installer? It doesn't take that long. Use fresh, clean downloads of the components including the latest download of the CCE SP. Seems to be some sort of paradox here, most everyone having success and you with these inexplicable problems.

 

@ Bro Bear,

Tried reinstalling it all, I have the pro DVDrebuilder 0.93 andmy same CCE SP, I dont want to download the new SP as I will have to buy it wont I?

Thanks

Pred...

 

Not sure about the CCE SP you have. I was under the impression that the program was upgradable. What version of the dongle are you using? They upgrade their Basic. If I was an owner of SP and they wouldn't, I believe I would be irate. Irregardless, you can download and use the SP trial for purposes of testing. It works the same way, you just have a logo on the video output. As far as the Rebuilder, you can use your email link to get another copy, just in case something happened to the files in your previous download. Don't forget to go into Setup and check the box for "Run Encoder(s) Minimized". It's getting to the point it looks like a serious problem with the RB setup or your PC. The setup of RB is easy to check out as I've mentioned, just reinstall it with the Rockas installer. If a clean install doesn't fix it, then you should think about letting a professional tech take a look at your system.

 

Predator9,
You still need to know where the processor power is going.
Open the task manger and go to the performance tab.
Check processor usage when in the encode phase and CCE windows pop up.
The processor needs to be at or near 100% usage. If it is not then something is restricting data and starving the proc.

If the proc usage is high then move to the processes tab in the task manager. CCE should be most of the usage. If the % of proc usage is going to a different process then you have a software problem.

McAfee can cause problems if not configured right. Turning off McAfee doesn't actually stop the background file checks. You must set the options not to check ALL files in background testing. Or completely uninstall McAfee(not recommended).

Once you know where the power is being used it will be possible to diagnose.

 

@Jdobbs

I've decided to go ahead and make a backup but this time with menus as opposed to movie only of the Incredibles DVD (R1). I noticed in DVD-RB 93.2b it won't blank the stills resulting in 3 stills before jumping to the menu. Now I am asking has this been worked on for the soon to be released 1.0 version of DVD-RB? I'm pretty sure you have some big updates planned but I'm wondering if I should just keep this DVD backup on my HD for later use with v1.0?

 

Hi
I have a question. In DVD-RB, AVS options, Advanced options there is MPEG2Source("source",idct=7) and mine is always checked! Is this wrong? Will this affect the quality???? Should the idct=7 be unchecked????

 

jerry77

Check it.

 

@Jdobbs

I tried registering at the doom9 forums being that you are a frequent visitor there but had no luck so I thought I'd post the issue I'm having with v1.0RC. I'd thought I would tackle the Incredibles DVD, but it seems on 0:31:10 the film comes to a complete hault. Now on some DVD players such as Sony models it will read "the disc is dirty". Mind you that this a brand new disc and is from a trusted co. Ritek. Okay so I thought I'd double check and see if it could be the media because on certain occassions a few bad apples make there way in. I checked the recently encoded DVD files from the HD in the Video_Ts folder and when played back on PowerDVD, the time frame from 0:31:0 and so on is jittery and heavily pixelated. What I noticed which was very interesting was when the movie stopped completely on 0:31:10 on the DVD on my PC, I rewinded. I noticed the image shown on the player remained the same image from where it stopped at 0:31:10 yet the track time rewinded. I found that very strange, I tested the disc on several DVD players even on a high priced model such as the Sony 975v. That player plays just about anything that is fed to it but it stopped at 0:31:10. I'm not completely sure but I think that scene is right before a ILV comes to play. That previous ILV where Mr.Incredible was reading the paper (English, Spanish & French) played fine. No pre-processing of any kind on this disc at all, mode selected was menu & movie only (blank extras). Below is where it comes to a complete stop, from here if it rewinds the image reappears but the track time rewinds.

HKT

I had problems registering at Doom too but in the end it turned out to be my fault. I can't remember what it was but after you get the email to confirm there's also a code or something that you have to type in or that you have to agree to. I backed up the incredibles using an earlier version of RB but alas I can't remember how I did that either. LOL

 

@HK3020

Was it the main movie disc or the extras disc? I remember there being ILVU on the extras disc -- but I didn't think the feature disc was... I could be wrong though...

I usually check here too. But I'm a mod at Doom9, so I try to keep up with everything there.
