Input On DVD Rebuilder Guide

are you using the trial version?

 

The trial version of CCE basic is useless but the trial version of CCE SP will work but it will leave a watermark. You can download it from here.

Sorry first link was wrong this is the good one.

sorry guys,
yes i was trying the demo version.
I am downloading the sp version now, I want to try it before i buy it? Is there anything differnt to this version or do i set it up as the basic version?
(you should know what the engish are like for letting go of their money?)

 

Since you are looking to buy the CCE basic version because the SP version sells for $2000, I would keep the same settings as those in Vurbals guide. It'll be more representative of your actual intended purchase. The SP version allows one to do more than just a 2 pass encode and there is a setting in rebuilder that allows for that but it will make the process even longer and the benefits are questionable.

Thanks Vurbal, I overlooked the one detail that could've had you pulling your hair out. When you open DVDrebuilder and you go to options at the top you note that among the choices are CCE options. In the guide you are instructed to select CCE basic but if you look below you'll see tow other choices. Choose the one that is closest to the trial version your using which is 2.67 so you would select CCE SP (2.66+). The rest is the same.

 

Well I tried everything you said, still didnt work, first I got a message saying can't open ecl file. When i ok'd through that i got the message saying there is nothing to do, dvd rb couldn't locate appropriate file in working directory! you must prepare & encode first. I have encoded the film with decrypter, i know it works as i also burnt it to dvd with dycrypter, and the file path is correct. Any other ideas?or is time to give it up as a bad job and return to using shrink & nero?

 

I received that message on a file that I edited but the original rip of that edit worked without incident. Did you rip the movie in file mode (you want the whole movie)?. If not try using DVD decrypter to rip in file mode and then report back.

 

tried riping lord of the rings in file mode, that failed. I just tried ripping the eagle has landed in file mode with decrypter, that also failed with the same errors 'can't open ecl file', the there is nothing to do?

Any other suggestions?

 

Recheck your setup from the beginning and insure that you have everything right. Make sure that the mpeg2Dec3dg is place into the same folder as DVDrebuilder. I'm thinking that you need to look at this: in options and go to setup and make sure under Applications Paths that you've changed your selection from CCE Basic to CCE SP new. Vurbal can you verify that?

 

I have just checked my setup files, it goes like this.
path to cce basic: blank
path to cce sp 2.50 : blank
path to sp new: points to cce exe.
path to mpeg2dec3dg.dll: points to file placed in rebuilder folder. This is correct as far as i can see?
I am using cce sp v2.67 trial

 

On that same setup window did you check Add to AVS file? I know this sounds nitpicking but if there isn't a problem with the rip and you've set everything up all right then all that's left is your system. If you have a reasonably fast system then it goes back to setup and rip unless you have a software conflict of some kind. I know this sounds frustrating, expecially since it all went well for me and the others but the initial setup requires close attention to details. Once you get that down then it's a breeze.

 

You have to install eclcce.exe to let rebuilder read the ecl file when using CCEsp. When you double click on eclCCE.exe the first time show it were the CCEsp file is.
Then point to the eclCCE.exe file in the window for CCE sp.

Click on download eclCCE 1.81

The top post in one click transcoders by vurbal is a more accurate description of how to setup CCE SP trial.

I had to use sp 2.50 trial because of a compatability problem with sp 2.67.
But the latest basic works fine after I purchased it.

Good analysis 64026402, I'm looking forward to hearing about your other successes. I never used CCE SP because I went strait to CCE Basic and my experiences would not have directed me to the conclusion that you came up with. After recognizing he wasn't getting anywhere with CCE Basic trial, I recommended CCE SP because I new that it worked, but I'd never tried it.

 

Vurbal

You might want to modify your guide by having it focus first on CCE SP instead of basic because that's what first time users will try, and then amending it with instructions for using CCE Basic. A kind of flow chart if you will. Your guide worked perfectly for me because I could buy CCE basic outright.

I agree honest first, cracks never, but if the first trial efforts of a newbie are going result in them using CCE SP first then the guide is going to have to reflect that.
