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

Mort
LOL Rarely does the weather get that bad in this neck of the woods. Thanks for the info though. I checked out the thread.

 

@ bro bear thnx 4 the info and taking the time to find the question in my ramblings (just re-read my post it must have been really late lol) I have followed the your directions and to no availthe only path options I can locate are re-jig ecl procoder & quenc is this because I am using the freebie version .93 I think it is or am I overlooking something simple. are any of these encoders any better can I just turn off one click mode and use the hc enc.

also do you create an iso with dvd-rb?

btw.. quenc is by far slower the title i tried had the interleaving but I still think over 6 hrs (just encoding) is a long time.

 

Here's one for the ages.

I tried backing up three movies using RB v1.00 RC2 and on each attempt the back up failed. I should have written the error down but on all three occasions it was the same, "RB encountered and undetermined error. " Something to that effect. I checked my set up and its perfect. Curious, last night I pulled out a copy of RB.93 and using the same setup did a back up and it successfully completed the task. So what's different here? BTW, I do all of my backups in file mode.

(Hmmm! RB could have been out trying to assassinate George Bush)


The only thing that's changed in my setup is that I have a new system using a very new AMD 64 Venice core CPU.

HC Encoder is one of the options in the General Setup window for 93.2, which I just looked at. I also looked in the setup for v.1 RC2 and it's still there. jdobbs has had HC in the setup for a while now. As for getting the app to work with HC, besides entering the path for the HC Encoder in Setup, you have to go to Mode and select "HC Mode". Seems you need to familiarize yourself with the controls for RB. Just go to the navigation bar at the top of the RB window, open the various options and see what you have to chose from. Much of it is intuitive and sometimes downright obvious.

LOL Guess you have to approve of Bush or RB assassinates your setup.

There was some minor problems in RC1 that jdobbs noted he corrected. Luckily I've not suffered from any of them and I'm now using the RC2. Just finished doing a few encodes and don't have anything out of the ordinary happening. BTW, I'm doing everything in file mode as well.

 

I'm tending to lead toward processor support as the cause of the problem.

 

I was wondering, but didn't want to venture any input on that one. You know more about the CPUs than I do. Isn't your PC still pretty much the same except for the MOBO and CPU swap? Are we still talking about the same PC?

No, everything but my case and my CDROMS are new. My previous system has an over clocked P4 2.8ghz@3.149 Ghz. My new PC is using an AMD 3500+ Venice core over clocked to equal a 4400 plus. My specs are at zentarium along with some benchmarks I did.

I also worked out my problems with RB/1.00 RC2. I don't know how this happened but under avs options/advanced expert options/set decoder IDCT/32bit MMX (Xvid) was checked. I usually don't go over the avs options because I usually use the default. I just completed an encode of the movie White Noise and from prepare/encode/rebuild it took 76 minutes. That's right 1 hour and 16 minutes for everything but rip and burn on a 7.82 gig movie.

 

Wow, thats haulin a$$.

 

I just did another backup and here's a copy and paste of its stats from RB.


Copied and pasted from RB's Program Statis.

[21:05:04] PREPARE/ENCODE/REBUILD completed in 74 min.

Movie: Mean Girls (besides my wife), size 7.62 gigs (not as Decrypter reads it).

Yep 1 hour and 14 minutes.

 

Excellent speed. I noticed you were set on the avs option my PC is on, 32 bit MMX simple (XVID). I don't remember ever tampering with that setting, so it probably came up as a default on one of the installations. It seems to work good for my P4 system. Funny you had that problem, I was wondering about the difference in those settings. I wish someone could give a good explanation of the Decoder iDCT settings for those of us not holding a degree in engineering and explain what the different settings are for.

 

Xvid has nothing to do with DVD, (it's like DiVx) it's mpeg4 versus DVD mpeg2. MMX and all of the SSE extensions are CPU related instructions, they speed up processing if the app supports it. Whatever the purpose of IDCT is, its secondary choices are it's all directed at processor compatibility/performance.

 

I believe it may have more to do with your processor than a P4 like mine, if there is a connection. I tried it with the MMX SSE setting and it made little or no difference I can tell so far.

 

jdobbs (or anyone who knows for sure)

What is the default iDCT setting?

 

Mine is Default Decoder, running Rebuilder 1.00 RC2.

 

Guess you're probably right, "Decoder Default" does appear to be a default option. I was just curious as to how my system got set to 32 bit Simple MMX; I know I never changed it manually before. It seems to be working okay on the settings I've tried, both Simple MMX and SSE/MMX.

 

As far as I know the only benefit of those extensions are for processing speed. If you look in the DVD Rebuilder help file, the default setting is recommended. For some strange reason when I opened RB it Defaulted to "32 Bit simple MMX(Xvid."

 

I was making a backup of the X-Files Season 9 Disc 2 after having successfully making a backup of Disc 1 and this was the error message I received after every retry(twice so far).



Also the encode finishes way too quickly as it skips a section of VTS_5-8 however VTS_4 is done without a problem.VTS_9-11 are blanked out as extras being they are international clips. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

An interesting error message and one that I've never seen before involving CCE. Did you do any editing prior to encoding? Did you try ripping the DVD again, it's possible that the original source is corrupted.


Here's a doom9 similarity.

I perhaps should've mentioned that in my last post but I have done no editing at all with the DVD9 version. I ripped the files with DVD Decrypter multiple times and how can I check if the original source (actual DVD) is corrupted?

I also managed to read through that thread and if I'm reading right the current version mentioned there is .58 and I'm using v1.0RC2 so I think a few changes have been made and the resolution there wouldn't apply. I suppose it doesn't hurt to try and get my hands on the old but reliable MPEG2Dec3dg.dll, anyone here care pointing me to a link? ;-)
