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

I'm happy with the basic RB settings and options as they are, I can't see anything that I would get out of them that's worth all the extra time and effort.

 

Guess you missed the humor in the statement with the smilie wink. I was just being intentionally facetious. As jdobbs and everyone points out, it is set to work fine with the default settings. I've had no problems and not really looking for any. I think I'll pass on the Avisynth guide and just go with the RB in default.

 

I didn't see the message until after I had already posted.

 

Hmmm... posted 4 hrs later and didn't pay attention to the previous post. Hmmm...

 

I just woke up and there is a dialog that says 'cce encoding failed.'

The message is: VBR VBV ovf frame# 131991 (01:31:39:17) 25316 max 23592.27 pln 21844.69 rel 1723.73 1.07 qsv 96.00->95.99

Now, I did join two AVIs then save it as another AVI, and that is what CCE was encoding. However, the first avi didn't end at 1 hour and 31 minutes..

I am using CCE SP v2.67.00.27.

 

I guess I don't get the connection to this thread? If you are doing encoding of an AVI it really has nothing to do with DVD-RB...

 

@tehSlippy
In case you missed it, AVI has to be converted to DVD before being able to use RB.

Good question, wrong forum the link below will take you to where you need to go. This forum is about DVD Rebuilder. CCE is just one of the tools it uses to encode or transcode with and your question has nothing to do with RB.

This was a bit odd on behalf of DVD-RB as it seems over the weekend I made a backup of True Lies R1 NTSC. The video and playback came back fine and without a problem but what I noticed was odd was how DVD-RB identified the video as 4:3 material. The output was still in 16x9 but just thought that is something you'd be interested in looking up Jdobbs.

 

Are you sure it's anamorphic? Sometimes they'll fool you.

But it may be possible. It's rare, but occasionally you will see that situation. The picture is coded as 4:3 in the stream -- but the aspect of the film is 16:9. On a DVD what matters is the setting in the IFO file -- which overrides the stream flags. The examples where I've seen that in the past were on titles authored with SpruceUP. It was a decent authoring system -- but didn't support 16:9. So people would just take a 16:9 source and encode it at 4:3 -- then manually modify the IFO after the job was done. The result would playback correctly.

DVD-RB reproduces original disc as close as possible to its original authoring.

Quite often the extras are in 4:3 while the movie is 16:9. You may have been viewing the stats of the extras.

 

OH c'mon guys I encoded every DVD with the Disable "Interlaced" option checked !!! I live in PAL country! So now are all my DVD's bad quality or what? Has this option an influence on quality?

 

I'm having problems getting my outputs to be sized correctly. I had it working before I reformatted but now it just doesn't want to work.

Basically, the last two 7-8GB DVDs I've tried to CCE ended up at 2.8-3.6GB, far too small.

Here's my rebuilder.ini. I also have the rebuilder.inf from the one DVD I tried to process, but I didn't post it because it is quite lengthy.

I know that you've probably heard this enough but review your setup again. Leave everthing at the default settings and then try again.

 

I'd recommend you unclick the "Steal Space from Extras" option. It is very possible that you are reaching the maximum size CCE will allow for the movie and the rest is being thrown away...

 

Apologies for that Jdobbs, it turns out the DVD is in LB format. Not anamorphic WS. A real a total letdown as I just found after playing it through my HD. -_-

 

I hate it when that happens... you could try the 4:3 to 16:9 conversion option in DVD-RB, I pretty much always use if for 4:3 letterboxed movies.

 

Quick quesiton for the Pro edition users...

When I receive an update, can I install over the older version or should I delete it and intall fresh?

I just got the email about RC6

 

You can install over the old one. If you don't want any of your settings to change, answer "No" to the question as to whether to overwrite your REBUILDER.INI.
