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

By me sayin

I meant the 3-4gigs of the encoded CCE files (D2VAVS) without the final rebuilding process which is 4.32gigs. Still though, your math came to the point that it will take only around 7.5gigs after both of the last stages are completed(with the assumption that the original movie resides on another drive like I said). Correct me if I am wrong though.

 

No you're essentially right with your source files on a separate drive. I read you expressing that only 10 gigs of working space was enough. I just deleted a RB/CCE encoded folder and it was 7.83 gigs as windows reads it and over 8 gigs as Decrypter reads it. It doesn't leave much to play with on a 10 gig working space.

Keep in touch and let us know how it all comes out.

That leaves less than 2 gigs. I get worried when I'm down to my last 20.

 

dude051...the point I was trying to make is that in my own experience, when I've reached the limits of available HDD space, I got jerky burns. The only way I found to solve the problem was to get more HDD space.

EDIT: I didn't see 6402's post (below) before making mine, and so I would add here that I too get concerned when I'm less than 20 GB. I have also found that regardless of how the page file is set up, files frag all over the drive when there is a minimal amount of HDD space left.

 

And the cavalry arrives.

Hey guys!

If the last thread (referred to as the monster thread)is any indication then this one will end at 1400 Posts, and it won't take long to get there with all of us around. The question is should we let it go right here, we've answered so questions and provided so many solutions to so many problems that seemed to have no end.

Have we peaked?

 

Personally, I think that this thread still provides a valuable service.

 

Doc it does provide a valuable service, it's as good a thread as there ever was and it will likely be made a sticky that will remaim for some time along with the "Which Trasncoding Tools Produce The Best Picture Quality."

But what I was getting at is that when that happens do we all move on?

 

I think 2 or 3 more trial SP problems and we'll be at 1400.
This thread will be useful until CCE/DVDrebuilder gets a section.

 

Good point Donald, I wonder why it hasn't been given its own section already. I think that these two threads back to back should be a clue.

 

Thanks fellas for the answers to my Goodie problem. Here's another. Since purchasing CCE Basic have never had a problem until the other day. A friend had loned me his copy of SP v2.67.00.27 so I could see if I could tell any difference between 2 passes and 3. Well, using RB 0.62 I couldn't, though every time I looked at the info boxes while CCE was transcoding I only ever saw pass 1/2 never pass 1/3. But that is digressing. I had just successfully transcoded my Cabaret DVD using the marvellous option in RB convert 4:3 to 16:9 (because the DVD is widescreen non-anamorphic) - perfect result. Then I tried to "shrink" a home movie compilation (about 7GB). About 2/3 through the 2nd phase I received my first buffer under-run error 00004. So I changed the RB setting to point to Basic 2.69 but got the same error at the same point again! Then I tried IC8 - it crashed part way through. But would you believe it Shrink 3.2 worked perfectly! I hope this helps rather than hinders jdobbs.

 

Download the newest version of DVD-RB (v0.63) just posted. It fixes a boatload of possible things (based upon my testing).

BTW -- it never helps to compare DVD-RB to Shrink. They are so different in the way they work that wondering why one works when the other fails is like trying to decide how many pancakes it takes to cover a doghouse.

It was a goofy response that I realized didn't actually apply to the question that was asked. I though it would be better to edit it to say [DELETED] than leave what I'd said.

Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you're a moron than to speak up and prove it.

Ah yes, im sorry.. i get exactly what all of you are saying. But im not sure if I can help it too much . I really thank all of you for your help.
And DVD-RB / CCE should have its own category, and untill then this post is a great means of answers. I know I went through the previous post and learned some things about dvd-rb I didnt already know. So keep it around untill it is able to spawn its own section (which would be really awesome) Thanx again

 

Sheesh, I would have felt out of place if I didn't quote someone. Yes jdobbs, I've been there more times than I'd care to count.

 

Hi gurus! Man I love this forum thread! OK, I have a few questions:

[bold] 1. [/bold] I have CCE Basic 2.69. [bold] Used with DVD-RB, can it do more than 2 VBR passes? [/bold] I'm asking because I just encoded "The Mission" in only 83 minutes after setting the VBR to 4 passes in CCE...seems like it would take longer.

[bold] 2. [/bold] Most of the time, my finished Video_TS folder is only 4.32 or 4.33 Gigs. [bold] Is this normal? Is this using the full capacity of the disc? If not, what settings can I play with in order to use the full capacity? [/bold]

[bold] GO DODGERS!! [/bold]

Glad you love the thread so do the rest of us, and welcome aboard.

No, two passes is all that CCE Basic can do.

 

yawn, didn't i hear at some point in time that setting CCE basic at more than 2 passes would result in only one pass?

 

Yes bigo I think that I heard that too from I believe jdobbs but I can't remember for sure. That would explain the 80 minute encode.
