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

Guys, I am sorry for the confusion here. Before doling out $60 I wanted to check out the quality of the videos actually.

So far I have been using DVD Shrink and so I wanted to compare the products before buying the software.

I will try out your suggestions once i get back from work. Thanks once again!!

 

bappida,

I'm not trying to spend your money for ya, but you won't find one RB/CCE user here that doesn't 100% agree that this is the BEST quality for backing up a DVD, period. The only drawback is time constraints, but with the batch method one can get around that to some extent, you go to bed or work, you wake up or get home and you have several movies to burn at 10 minutes or so each. Done.


I went ahead and bought CCE Basic right away to avoid the trial and error plagues of the trial versions. So did others. Again, everyone that has used these trials has had problems as you yourself are finding out. We are not trying to sell you a pig in a poke. No one here is getting paid, you asked and we answered.

I understand the need for trying something out before I buy, It is a good rule to follow, I have been burned in the past becuse I didn't but I might suggest in this instance to trust the forum. I have done 52% compression with RB/CCE and couldn't tell a difference between it and the original(as I have stated many times).

There have been some problems with errors 0003 and 0004, but with some of the guys help here, they have all been resolved. You couldn't ask for better support as you have the author of Rebuilder and the author of the Rebuilder and CCE guides, not to mention other extremely knowledgeable people, a lot of whom use RB/CCE exclusively for all their Backup needs.

Of course, in the end it is what makes you happy, that is the no. 1 objective. As for the money, you are in essence buying the same engine of a 2,000.00 encoder for 58.00, seems like a no brainer to me.

Well there is 1 who owns CCE and doesn't agree but he is a DVDshrink affiliate.

CCE SP is fine for testing but with the watermark it is wasted on a marked backup. So if you are actually entertaining the use of CCE then a purchase would make things easier.

 

Has any one here compared the quality of ripped DVDs using rb+CCE and rb+QuEnc?

 

I have noticed when they talk about QuEnc, they use CCE as the standard it is measured against, saying that, and I quote, " produces video that compares in some cases with the quality of videos encoded with CCE". That leads me to believe CCE is better, but I would certainly like to know 1st hand.

 

I was an IC8 fan also with an interest in Shrink. I like to keep the menu and 5.1 sound + DTS if present, but I don't need the extras if they compromise quality. Now, thanks to you guys, I am a DVDRB/CCE convert with absolutely no setup problems thanks to Vurbals guide! I would now appreciate some advice in fine tuning the process. PC specs are XPSP1, Intel 2.4GHz, 512MB Ram. Here is my Rebuilder ini file

Time taken was 5min prep + 256min enc + 20min rebuild

Q1. Should I change any of the above settings?
Q2. What is the difference between CCE Basic 2.67 and 2.69?

 

All!

I just wanted to pass a simple word of thanks onto many of
the folks on this thread. I was a little weary of spending some
cash on some software. While most software is over-
rated and flawed in one way or another, DVD-RB & CCE
Basic is not one of them..

The DVD-RB & CCE combo lives up to its advertisements.
The software is a little slow.

 

Good deal. As you use DVDrebuilder you will find a lot of flexability in how the picture looks. Combined with DVDremake you can do just about anything.
Like both Schindlers list discs on one dvd and still a good picture.
I just don't like switching discs.

 

Donald,

I have seen a lot of post's on DVDRemake.
However, I do not know how this product
could help me in making DVD backups. Is this
product hard to use and learn? I know this is
a rookie question, but one does not learn by
being silent.

 

Ok, I'm using CCE SP Ver. 2.67.00.27 non-trial version.

I did everything in the tutorial on the front page of afterdaqwn.com and everything went great except my VIDEO_TS folder is 6.44 GB's which won't fit onto a DVD-R.

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

vurbal,

Please post a ling to the basic DVDRemake guide
when done. I would like to learn more about this
tool.

 

Escobar22...this has been covered in a couple of posts on this thread already.

In short, there is nothing that can be done with this version right now.

 

As a huge Dvd shrink fan I decided to have a go at the RB/CCE method to see if it's all it's cracked up to be. (I'm sure it is)
Anyway, followed the guide to the letter and attemted to convert The Two Towers.
Everything went well when I clicked on prepare, but when I clicked on encode I keep getting this message.
[bold]C:\TWOTOWERS\D2VAVS\VO1000 10000 1002.avs: unknown type[/bold]
I don't understand what this means.

 

agent-k .... What version of CCE are you using?

 

Hello,
I am new here.

I am using DVDRB v55b. CCE 2.50. I have also been using RB-Opt v0.12.

I have had this problem occur on 2 projects now. I get through adding the IVTC:
10 - Telecide(Order=1,Guide=1,Post=2,vthresh=65)
11 - Decimate(Cycle=5)

in rb-opt. And then process and encode. and when i check the final product, the audio is out of sync with the video. Please help.

thanks alot in advance!
