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

@Sophocles

"Hitchhiker's Guide" went through without any glitches when I did it. Not sure what that means -- but I thought I'd let you know. I ripped it with DVD Decrypter.

I ripped with DVD Decrypter and I have the latest version of AnyDVD. The movie burned perfectly. None of the error messages referenced RB, just CCE. I've just ripped the movie again, I'll try to see if the error can be reproduced tonight.

brobear a lot of people are happy with their P4 just as I was with mine but that doesn't change the simple fact that at this time in CPU development AMD is clearly in the lead. They have the fastest single core and dual core CPUs, which can be verified by 100% of the reputable tech sites such as Tomshardware.com, Anandtech.com, overclockers,com sharkyextrememe.com and so on.

Had the same problem with Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 3 Disk 2. CCE cut short the begining of every episode's intro into the "staticky" HBO screen that should have ended with the title of the show. i decided to burn and it had worked itself out. btw, the first disk, identicle to the second in any manner that i can tell, worked just fine.

I became suspicious that there was a new physical copy protection on the go. But rather than causing read errors it somehow introduced reported encode errors. Usually when I get such an error message I stop the encode but this time I let it go to see what would happen. I figured if it was flawed then RB would catch it during rebuild but the rebuild phase went perfectly and the movie burned and played perfectly as well.


The twilight zone revisited. LOL

 

yeah, i know what you mean. worked well for me, i really should have gone in with vobblanker and cut the beginngin and end of the episodes anyway, but i was too lazy. this way all i had to do was wait a bit and hit enter .

With Hitch Hikers guide to the galaxy editing wasn't needed. The file came in at about 6.67 gigs and two language tracks to remove so I figured I'd try it all. I could take DVDremake to it but what's the point when I can use RB to save the menu's and blank the extras. (A feature of RB Pro version only).

Noticed in some of the tests they didn't exactly set up the systems the same. Seems some testers use similar memory, but give the AMD CAS 2-2-2-5 while putting CAS 3-3-3-8 in the P4 board. Now what kind of difference would that make? Sort of cooking the results wouldn't you say. Look at ExtremeTech for that little goodie where AMD beat Intel in the midrange test on gaming. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1854733,00.asp

To promote harmony and keep the thread on track, I'll agree with you on the hardware forum and allow you the last word. Otherwise we could name this the AMD overclockers' thread instead of DVD RB/CCE.

 

I was taking my own advice, if you check my replies you'll note that I was reporting on an experience between RB/CCE with CCE being the independent variable.

And then from there we went into how hardware can affect the encode processes, by time lengths, by software encode lengths, and by hardware encode speeds.

 

And forgot to follow your own words of advice:

Got a question, finally got the wife's Michael Flatley Collection disk, which is very peculiar. It is a flipper but has DVD 9 on both sides. The first side contains two titles one 1hr 33 mins and the other 1hr and 53 mins this could be split with no compression fine. The second side has video of 2hr and 10 minutes but shows compression at 47%, why I can't figure out. Will the Basic CCE with 2 passes do it for this amount of compression?

 

5 hrs 36 min total. Doubtful. Even good encoders have their limit, if you're looking for quality. You might do it, but the quality would suffer due to the amount of the video having to be deleted.

 

No I only want to do the 2 hour and 10 minute video which is the one showing 47% compression. The other two I split using Clone they did not need RB there was no compression for them.

 

2 hr 10 min shouldn't pose that big a problem. I'm not sure about your particular video, but RB usually does much better than regular transcoders with large videos. We've all been doing the summer's blockbusters without any problems.

 

Thanks brobear, it was the amount of compression that was throwing me off I really do not want to waste a dual layer on this one, so if RB will do it I will be happy.

 

Shouldn't need to. RB shines at high compression ... and you're welcome.

 

I know it is a 2 layer disk that has a main title of 2 hr and 10 minutes with 47% compression which just does not make any sense to me, unless there is something else going on with this video. When I did Pirates of the Caribbean it was somewhere like 2 hrs and 20 some minutes and only came out to 74%.

 

Are you sure? Recheck the POTC DVD compression level with the same software you're using for the DVD you're wanting to encode now.

 

From Clone



From Shrink on compression Clone reports at less

 

Hmm!

 

Wrong!
