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

Sort of missed a key part there. Did you clean up the system as I suggested, also deleting the Avisynth and the encoder? Maybe someone else will have a similar problem and you can work out a solution. I just stated what worked for me and it didn't take near the time or trouble. I'll let jdobbs do the testing with Ring2, I didn't particualarly like Ring.

If you have any additional soundtracks that you can remove that should bring it within a workable size without re compressing it.

 

Sophicles,
I did that...no go.

I'm starting to think there might be some problems with Copy protection, I can't get it to copy with Clone DVD 2 or Intervideo copy 3....

Either that or a faulty source disk....

I'll wait to see if others report problems.

It's beginning to sound like a structure problem. Have you tried running it through DVD Shrink under no compression? It can sometimes fix structure problems and it will allow you to remove unwanted soundtracks. I don't use Shrink often but sometimes it's a workable choice.

I just did "The Ring Two" with the Pro Version as a baseline. It came out to exactly 4.32GB. I'm now running it with DVD-RB v0.94 Freeware and CCE Basic... I don't think it is going to be any different -- but we'll see in a couple of hours.

What version of CCE are you using?

 

Jdobbs,
I'm using CCE version 2.70.02.00

Let me know how you make out with V.94 RB.

Thanks


Is it still a $10.00 donation to get the pro version?

 

No it's not too late -- but it is getting very close. Right now based upon the feedback I'm getting it appears RC5.1 will be the last release candidate.

I ran "The Ring Two" through Freeware v0.94 using CCE Basic v2.70.1.4 and it came out perfectly sized. I will run it through using CCE SP v2.70.2.0 -- but I'm confident it will come out the same. Could you please send the REBUILDER.INF and REBUILDER.INI to dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com? That way I can see what's different in your run.

 

Jdobbs,
I think I found out the problem. I had steal space from extras always enabled 50%. And it always worked with all other disks.
After hearing your Ring 2 worked I figured I would try again.
This time I didn't enable steal space from extras. And it came out
the right size, 4.32.

So for whatever reason, this feature must have been giving me an issue for this particular movie.

Thanks for all the help.

But let me burn the disk to know for sure. I will report back!

 

Update:

Well, I burned the Ring 2 after I finally got RB to the correct file size. It burned with nero, no errors or warnings, but won't play in my standalone. It doesn't even start up. ( I haven't had any movies not play when using RB)

Jdobbs, Let me know if you got it to play in your DVD player.

I still think it might be a source Disk issue.

 

@quik4a6,

I just burned it and it works with no problems. I think you may have a scratched disc or something...

 

Jdobbs,
It must be a screwed up source disk.

I just backed up another movie, no problems....

 

when i click prepare on dvd rebuilder every thing is good but when click
encode i get: ERROR: file V08000000001001 shows Completed but no M2v file exists

 

DVDInfoPro or the like can be used to check media for errors. Anytime you have problems not being experienced by others, it's usually easiest to check the source to elimiate that possibilty to begin. Then look to the settings. jdobbs pretty much has the bugs worked out of RB. Most problems now are media issues with the source or the recording media and user errors. Occasionally there will be a problem creep into the setup (corrupted files), but that is becoming more rare all the time. Even with constant updates, it's been some time since I've had to do a complete reinstallation.

@qwik4a6
If you suspect a problem with the source, why not check it?

What version of Avisynth are you using?

 

Iam using verson 2.5

 

2.5.? In other words, 2.5 what, there is more than one 2.5 version. Where did you get the version you have?

 

Hi great forum!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's my firt time, i'm chilean excuse my english
I'm confused, dvdrebuilder i love it!!!!!!!!!!, but i have a huge problem in my configuration Avs options - advanced expert options,I must to check....... disable "interlaced" or NOT.
other forums says yes, but i've been reading and here says no,who says the truth?
Please help me!!!!!!!!
thanks

 

Who says the truth? I do. "Disable Interlace" was put there for one specific purpose. There are rare (very rare) occurrences when a PAL source is marked as interlaced when it actually is progressive. All it does is force the stream flag to progressive. If you use it any other time you are going to make a combed/ugly output.

 

thanks for aswering,then, no check this option?
My other question is......set decoder idct, what option check? i have dvdrebuilder pro 0.93.2

 

It can be a little faster on some processors. The truth is -- that in most cases it is better to leave all the options at their default state and just push the "Backup DVD" button. All those options are there for people who want to tweak.
