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

As right as it gets.

 

i just want to give a big thanks to jdobbs for making this great program!!!

 

jdobbs

thanks for everything, i love your program, thanks for sending me the email...

i appreciate it very much, the new interface is looking good..

 

4,700,000,000 bytes = 4.377 gigabytes.

 

i have a problem

the dvd i backed up has cinema craft encoder logo in the bottom right corner when it plays, it doesnt go away throughout whole movie.

 

ive sucessfully backed up to dvd's harry potter 2, and how high.

on harry potter the cinema craft logo appears when the movie first starts but then goes away shortly after.

on how high the logo doesnt seem to go away....is there anything i can do to fix this.

And it never will. I suspected that your original problem was largely environmental. Especially when it comes to using non retail versions of CCE Basic.

I think that it's great that you got it working. Didn't you say that it was a test to determine if it was worthy of being purchased?

im stupid, apparently its stays on both movies

sigh...

 

....i need to get cce basic retail version

ZeroSktr,

From the beginning of this thread if you read it you know the following;

no.1)most problems occurred when using trial versions of CCE

no.2)if you use trial versions you are going to have the watermark

no.3)everyone who uses the trial version ends up buying the retail version

no.4)RB/CCE has yet to disappoint anyone who has used it.

no.5)they came to the same conclusion you did

Sound familiar? ;>)

 

ZeroSktr

You did say you were checking it for quality, and I think you did that. Now you'll have to decide if it's worth the investment for you. Whatever you decide you can at least be proud of your success.

 

Well I'm still having problems with my BBC disks. I have 3 sets of mid 70's BBC TV series released as DVD's. They are all 4:3 aspect ratio. 1 set (I Claudius) comes through RB/CCE Basic 2.69 perfectly. The other 2 (The Goodies & Blakes 7) result in sound drop-outs on all disks. I have tried older versions of DVD-RB right through to v0.65 with the same results. So I was forced to resort to Shrink 3.2. Any thoughts?

 

Sophocles

this is true, i have tried it out and i like the results. now i just need to get a job and buy cce basic someday! i cant afford it at the moment.

one question is it possible to keep the backups ive made and buy cce basic down the road and remove the watermark??

 

ZeroSktr

Keep them yes but remove the watermark, probably not, but then anything is possible across time.

 

Is using the pause button during encoding then coming back later and resuming at last successful encode bad?

 

Can anyone make sense of this?

I've been using CCE, Rebuilder, Remake, etc for a few months now with no problems. After trying to convert avi to svcd using guides at www.videohelp.com, I came back to my usual DVD routine the end result turns out:

1. Not sized properly (it is almost exactly the same as original). The rebuilder.ini does not specifically set a disk size but I am under the impression that there is a default size without that specific setting.

2. Has vertical banding type effect. The bands are about an inch wide, clear (see through) and gives the screen a slight ribbed type appearance. It looks to me like something has been offset or shifted perhaps, almost as if every other bar has been shifted lower/higher than previous bar.

I believe at some point while trying to convert avi to svcd I changed some settings in CCE. I have a solution that doesn't require CCE so I'd just like to have it set up to do my DVD's again.

Solutions I've tried so far:
(using CCE-SP version 2.67.00.27)
-upgraded to latest rebuilder version, double checked all settings same as guide here
-reinstalled CCE; settings appear to be "ok" but I am not too familiar with the inner workings of CCE
-tried movies previously backed up successfully and problem repeats

Is there a setting in CCE that is not cleared via reinstall? I doubt rebuilder is the culprit because I did not change any settings or even touch the program between the last successfull use and the first bad encode after my svcd attempts.

Hard to explain how it looks ... hope this makes sense.

 

@traderwan

What version of DVD-RB are you using? Look at the window header when it is running (sometimes we aren't running the version we last downloaded). The upgrade to CCE may be the source of the problem. When that version came out some of the .ECL parameters changed and it's possible you are outputing CBR rather than VBR. One of the more recent versions of DVD-RB implemented a fix for that... download v0.64a if you haven't already.

 

I would do as jdobbs recommends, I seem to recall that there was a sizing problem with that particular updated version of CCE SP and RB .57. This of course led to RB versions .58-64a.

 

@jdobbs

I am using v0.64a and I believe the problem originated with the version I was using before, hence prompting me to upgrade. If I can remember I think I was using 0.57

@vurbal

Once I got into the AVI to SVCD possibilities I realized Mainconcept was good for what I needed. I was fooling with AVI2DVD for a while ... I believe that's the only one if memory serves.

Any other ideas? What about the sizing issue? Weird that it would make it look worse and keep it the same size.

Thanks...
