Which Transcoding Tools Produce The Best Picture Quality.

I don't think I'll go there ... especially having had a friend or two that were lead guitarists is a rock band.

 

Sophocles and any that may be of help, here are the configuration settings:

[Options]
OneClick=1
NoWarn=1
AudioDub=0
idct7Opt=1
LoadPlugin=1
[Paths]
CCEBasic=C:\Program Files\Custom Technology\Cinema Craft Encoder Basic\cct2.exe
MPEG2DEC=C:\Program Files\DVD Rebuilder\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll
Source=D:\UNDEFINED\VIDEO_TS\
Working=C:\UNDEFINED\
[CCEOptions]
VBR_bias=25
Quality_prec=16
eclPasses=2

The problem continues to occurr in the last phase when rebuilder is assembling the files, following CCE having completed its task. I'm pretty good at following directions. Not saying I couldn't have overlooked something. All help appreciated. I sure haven't been able to solve this and none of the prior solutions I've seen seem to work in this case.

 

Make sure that CCE mode is checked under mode.

Double check that CCE basic 2.67+ is checked under CCE options under the options tab.

I didn't see CCE=2 in the ini file.

Do you actually have a folder labeled undefined for the working folder?

All things checked and double checked on those you suggested. A video was labeled undefined so I named the working file the same to match. Instead of creating a new file, I just emptied the old one. The files names should be irrelevant as long as there is a name of the correct type. The work files are being directed into the correct folder, so the location path doesn't appear to be the problem. I've used other names for the folders.

Just as long as you truly have a directory called "C:\UNDEFINED\" already existing on the drive...

 

I noticed in Brobear's ini file

[CCEOptions]
VBR_bias=25
Quality_prec=16
eclPasses=2

Is there a consensus of opinion re these settings for Basic 2.69?

 

I still doen't understand why CCE=2 isn't in options for designating CCE basic. I haven't seen a functioning rebuilder file without this before.

 

It should be there if CCE Basic is chosen. But -- CCE Basic is the default when nothing has been chosen.

 

The reason CCE=2 wasn't present was because it was the default selection that had never been changed. It was checked under Mode when I set up and when I rechecked to verify settings. The RB recognized the CCE selection because the program went through the CCE phase and was in phase III when the problem occurred.

[bold]"0003 Buffer Overflow" and "Run-time error '6': Overflow" can occurr when the Source Path folder and the Working Path folder are not on the Local HD with the Rebuilder program.[/bold]

Thanks to Sophocles and jdobbs I finally got this problem solved. For purposes of sychronization, the program and the folders with the files needed to be on the same drive. The program and folders weren't in synch, thus causing a lag and the resulting buffer problem.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the help session. I now have a working version of RB/CCE. I double checked and there doesn't seem to be any problems as long as I keep everything on the same drive.

Looking at my latest encode, my Source is on C and Woring Path on D. Sometimes it is vice-versa. Is spliting between drives a bad idea?

 

You're looking at the differences that can occurr in equipment. On my computer, the working path and source path folders have to be on the drive with the program. I tried it with both files on a separate drive and got the overflow problem again. I then used files on the same drive with RB and all worked well. So, that was the case in this instance with this equipment. BTW, this is the only program setup I have encountered a buffer problem with.

 

You might have stumbled upon the answer to a long-held mystery. Can we refer to this as the "brobear effect?"

Since you haven't had a problem on your system, it obviously isn't a problem. It just has to do with my PC software setup and hardware. It is just another problem solving variable when someone says they're suffering from buffer problems. It appears that usually the program and source and path folders don't have to be on the same drive, but in some cases they have to be.

The thing is, when I did have the problem I had two different hard drives - one at 5600 RPM, and another at 7200. My clean install involved using a different drive, so now they are both 7200.

I thought the clean install did it, but it appears likely not. Who would have figured...?

 

Hmmm..... I'm glad you got it working brobear, especially after all the time you've spent on it. I know you were getting to the "aw f**k it" point.

I would have never thought to suggest the same drive, as I've got mine on two different drives, I did that intentionally to see if it would speed things up.

Good job sophocles recommending to put it all on the C:/ drive.

 

brobear ... I've noted this discovery in the "Are you having trouble..." FAQ's No. 8, calling it the brobear effect ... if that is OK with you?
