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

Brobear

that's the first dvd to ever have that happen

 

Jdobbs

Just donated to u the other day

What's ILVU?

The thing is there is no other angles

Can u reccommend a good 3rd party program to try to fiddle with the vob's?

DVDReMake Pro is a popular editing tool used by a lot of people on the forum. If you're looking for some freeware, check the software section here at AD and the section at Doom9.

 

@brobear:

i work with avisynth 2.55

what do you mean with DGDecode? do you mean MPEG2Dec3dg.dll or DeComb521 ( i dont use this option with decomb) ??

thx dowhny

 

@dowhny

DGDECODE.DLL came in the ZIP file that contained DVD-RB v0.80 and above. Unzip it into the same directory as DVD-RB and use that instead of MPEG2DEC3DG.DLL. It's faster and better. Make sure you don't forget to point to it under "DECODER" in the SETUP dialog.

There have been reported problems related to folks using incompatible versions... and some other less "well-behaved" applications have been known to either change the registry entry that points to the AVISYNTH plug-in directory, or replace your decoder without telling you. So I've decided it's better to just keep is safe and close to DVD-RB...

I've always kept DGDECODE.DLL and its predecessor in the same folder with RB. Perhaps that explains a small part of the fact that I've never had an issue with any version of RB. Just a note of interest, one individual had difficulty getting RB to work with Prodcoder. It was resolved by placing EclPro.exe in the same folder as RB.

 

I believe that individual you're refering to was me, and yes I had to put it in the same folder to get it to work. :>)

Also, I too kept DGDECODE.DLL in the same folder when I replaced MPEG2DEC3DG.DLL with it and I haven't had any problems either. In fact RB/CCE is the least problematic of all the apps I use/have used once the multiple angles and interleaving problems were solved.

 

I sometimes wonder if things weren't kept more interesting when there were multi angle and interleave problems to solve. Hmmm! Alas poor Daredevil, I knew him well. LOL

So what if it's a bad movie!

 

And I've always kept my version of DGDecode and MPEG2Dec3dg in the AviSynth plugins folder and I've never had a problem with it. Can I claim success due to it's placement? I think I'll just go with RB/CCE being a good app. I've been around to watch it progress. I was very happy when they included multi angle encoding, seems like some of the better movies incorporate the feature now. I'm just curious to see what version 1 looks like.

I think jdobbs fairly well described the situation, incompatible versions, ill behaved apps, registry changes. For people unaware of how the software functions or that have problems diagnosing when a problem occurrs, it would be best to keep the decoder in a safe spot. I've always found the AviSynth plugins folder safe. I use compatible versions and don't keep any of those ill behaved apps on my PC. There is no reason not to follow jdobbs advice, so for safety's sake, I'd say users should put the DGDecode in the RB folder and there should be nothing to fear and less likelihood of a problem with the decoder. I'll just leave mine well enough alone.

 

@dowhny
As jdobbs pointed out, you should be using DGDecode (as the decoder) and it is downloaded with the latest versions of RB. When you install the latest version of RB, all you have to do is change the decoder path to the DGDecode file in the Rebuilder folder.

DGDecode is the updated version of Mpeg2Dec3. The name change was to keep the new version distinguishable from the older one. DGDecode, as jdobbs pointed out, is for use with the newer AviSynth 2.5 versions.

 

Alas poor Daredevil, I knew him well. LOL

LOL That movie alone was responsible for probably 10 pages of this thread. And yes, it sucked! ;>) You should know it by heart by now soph, including all dialogue as many times as you did it. LOL

 

Then you're just as fortunate as I am to have had few or no problems directing interactive applications toward a goal. In all applications there has to be a clear path to that goal.


bigo

Good memory.

 

I must say I have re-done about 30 movies with DVD Rebuilder/CCE and have not had a problem yet.

I did use the Rockas installer at first,maybe that has something to do with it.Even upgrading to the newest version of Rebuilder is as simple as extracting it to the DVD Rebuilder program file.

It seems like Jdobbs comes out with a new update before I even get to know the last version.What do you guys think about the new Movie and Menu option?

 

Wild

The new what? LOL


The key is setup, setup, and setup.

 

wild77

Haven't tried it yet but ain't it great how jdobbs just keeps adding and improving the proggy?


In response to your statement "I did use the Rockas installer at first,maybe that has something to do with it"

You can bet your bottom dollar it had everything to do with it! Almost everyone who has experienced problems with rebuilder it has boiled down to two things. Setup and trial or cracked versions of CCE. Rockas has taken care of setup.

 

thx very much for your help

i keep you informed about my success

thx!!

edit: okay, i de-installed all my stuff and installed a new version of avisynth (2.5.5) and the rebuilder installer pack of version 0.80

then i linked to the new installed cce sp 2.70 trial version an clicked on CCE SP, then i get this error message: "ecl is not a ecl for cce sp trial version"

if i clicked on CCE SP Trail and run RB then i get this pupolar error message:

"ERROR: File V0200000001001 shows completed, but no .M2V file existst."

(beside, back in the days i used the version of 2.67.00.27 of CCE) and all works very very finde, to bad that i couldn't find it anymore on the net (i deleted it without intension)

any hints for me please? (beside, i seach in the forum for myself, perhaps i could find something)
thx

 

Make sure you select "CCE SP Trial Version" under the "OPTIONS/CCE OPTIONS" menu. If you haven't done so, you have to redo the PREPARE any time you change an encoder.

Also, add this line to the [Options] area of the REBUILDER.INI file (it should fix your "No M2V file" issue):

MIN_BITRATE=500

The new CCE SP (Version 2.70.02.01) has a problem with exceptionally low bitrates.

Just as a note: Anyone reading this should add this line also. It will become the default in DVD-RB v0.83 and above.

 

hey jdobbs!

as you write me, i added the min_bitrate entry in the rebuilder.ini under [Options] and a made sure, that under CCE Options -> CCE SP Trail is selected.

So i run RB again, but the same error (no .M2V) error eccour.

tomorrow i start googling the error (now i go out ), perhaps i can find a solution, or do you have any other hints?

greets

 

Hmmm... after it has stopped, open CCE manually and then, using FILE/OPEN/PROJECT, open the file "item.ecl" in the directory "D2VAVS" located in your working folder and attempt to encode it. Tell me what error CCE returns...

 

@ Jdobbs

Does the added line which will already be set in 0.83/Pro take care of the issues with multiangle DVDs?
