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

Passes at VG? I'd probably need a few extras to get into the game nowadays. LOL Haven't seen much of her lately.

I figure with my new $10,000 Alienware, liquid cooled, hyper overclocked, fully modified, super duper Pentium gamer, I might get a 30 pass encode down to about 30 minutes. Of course I realize I'd have to have more than one running an RBFarm. Now how many factory DVDs can I buy for $100,000? The fun is in the hobby, right?

 

I had errors again. I think it may have something to do with batch processing. It seems to work 1 project at a time. The disc plays until near the end then it jams up the player. I have done a few since I posted last. One at a time no problem I did a batch last night and both projects failed. I'm going to do them again ,one at a time.

 

Good idea Datman. Let us know how it comes out doing the individual encodes.

As long as it is set up properly, batch mode just gives the same commands as you do manually, at least that's my understanding of it. It does it from the saved project files you create. Once a batch command is entered, RB functions just as though you had punched the buttons yourself. Since encoding is a CPU intensive task and can tie up memory allocation as well, it can put more strain on your system when doing batch encodes. I just wonder if it's a system problem instead of RB related. Yours is the only complaint I've noticed along these lines for batch processing so far. If it was RB related, it looks like someone else would have reported the same problem by now.

So we can better understand your situation, what are the specs on your PC; manufacturer and model, CPU and speed, RAM, HDD size and free space, burner (and ROM), and the OS?

You're right once you set up batch processing it does the same command over and over until you're DVD files are finished.

Thanks for confirming that on batch mode.

I've noticed RB will work on systems with limited resources as long as there is enough HDD space. However, I've also noticed that RB tends to really shine on the larger systems with plenty of extra space and resources (not necessarily the "speedwagon" computers, but ones with ample CPUs, plenty of RAM and big hard drives). Just so we know, what are you using?

 

brobear,

I have a p4 3.0 ,1.024 g of ram and around 70 g of space on hd. I never had a problem with 1.0 rc51

 

This is one that we all overlook a lot but can cause skips, a fragmented hard disk.

 

I defrag often

I just reprocessed and burned one project with no problems

 

When you're adding and deleting multi-gig files you have to defrag often. Windows defragger isn't all that great but if you keep up on it you'll be okay.

 

I use executive software "diskeeper" about every 3rd project. I did not defrag before my resent successful project

 

Hey all

Apologies for posting this - I would appreciate an answer to my question for using DVD-RB and Qu-Enc:-

I have got hold off the latest build 0.94 of DVD-RB, yet want to know about installing Qu-Enc...

Would it install with the installer from DVD-RB, or would I have to install it separately from its own download?

Where do I install it - in the same folder as DVD-RB, or in its own folder?

Please let me know accordingly - all responses will be gratefully welcome.

Thanks

 

When I used the free ver. I since bought the Pro, it just installed with the installer and you just choose it. It worked out well except my file came out too big. I prefer the HCenc much better does a beautiful job.

Thanks for the prompt reply - regarding HC - does this also come with the installer, or do you have to download and install it separately, and from where do you download it?

Where do I install it - in the same folder as DVD-RB, or in its own folder?

Please let me know accordingly - I am now looking at using DVD-RB after my recent problems with DVD X Copy 5 which you know about.

Regards and thanks once again

 

If you got the free ver. of RB with the Rockas installer it will all install itself and set itself up. Go to this thread, it has info but no pics. It explains somethings

HC, QuEnc, and ReJig all come with the installer.

 

@jdobbs

Loving the program it is working excellently, thanks for doing such a good job

 

Cool...

Stay tuned, there is more planned.

 

arniebear

Thanks again for the response - have got the quickstart guide and printed it off for reference.

DVD-RB has since been updated to version 0.95.

Will let you know in due course as to how I get on.

Regards

 

jdobbs

Thanks for letting us know that the installer comes with HC, QuEnc, and ReJig.

Does the latest version 0.95 also have all three with it as well?

Please keep up the good work - it will be my first time using DVD-RB and the encoders...will post back and let you know how I get on.

Regards and thanks

 

Yep. They come with the installer in each version.

Just to make sure credit is given where credit is due:

HC Encoder is written by Hank315
ReJig is written by NIC based upon GNU sources.
QuEnc is written by NIC based upon GNU (FFMPEG) libraries.

It is amazing and a direct result of the impact the Internet is having on our societies that the software industry is evolving to a point at which individuals can compete with the large software houses in terms of quality and service. These packages are good examples.
