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

In your previous post you said you didn't add the target sectors line.
Did you just now add it or had you already put it in before?
Did you double check to make sure it is there and not missing any digits.

If you could post your .ini file it could be usefull.

DVD Decrypter: ripped everything from original DVD (legitimate retail R1);
DVD shrink: encoded everything except DTS stream and French/Spanish subtitles (no compresion);
DVD rebuilder+CCE SP: got 3.6GB after rebuild.


Below is my rebuilder.ini

Yeah. RB-OPT showed me the estimate size is 4471MB. And I found a similar post on doom9 forum

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=80625

There was an error message 0 apeared and disappeared very quickly after encode (step 2) is done. I don't know whether it is CCE's or dvdrb's. Since I can't post there, all I can say is something wrong with dvdrb + cce sp retail.

 

This time I didn't use DVD shrink. Here is what I did,

1. DVD Descrypter ripped DVD to hard disk, everything including all audio streams;
2. set rebuilder vbr to 4 passes (1 vaf + 3 passes, right?)
3. rebuilder prepared the files:

[18:58:07] Phase I, PREPARATION started.
- "Half-D1/Half Space for Extras" mode is enabled.
...
- Reduction Level for DVD-5: 46.6%
- Overall Bitrate : 2,584Kbs
- Space for Video : 2,927,546KB
- Movie improvement from extra reduction = 11.1%
- HIGH/LOW/AVERAGE Cell Bitrates: 3,428/100/2,584 Kbs
[19:05:21] Phase I, PREPARATION completed in 7 minutes.

4. rebuilder encoded the files. I could see that CCE only did one pass. No error though.

My conclusion is, since I can't post to doom9, someone please help to post, rebuilder breaks something when working with CCE SP 2.67 retail version. It doesn't matter which rebuilder version I use.

I believe that Vurbal communicates quiet often with jdobbs, the author of DVD-RB. On occasion jdobbs also visits us here so I'm pretty sure your information will get there.

 

I will do 2 more test to make sure my conclusion is right, Vurbal, wait until tomorrow.

 

I think I had exactly the same problem as those guys on doom9 had.

I set CCETargetSectors=225000 and vbr_passes to 4. RB-OPT reported estimated size 4451MB, after rebuild, size is 4.06GB.

When I looked into the D2VAVS directory, there are AVS, ecl, D2V, FLG, m2v, vaf and INF files. Looks like there is only one pass, the one that creates vaf and m2v.

This is killing me.

 

If I'm following this correctly, wouldn't a previous version work until RB is upgraded? If so, here is the dl site:

I installed DVD rebuilder and set everything up properly - it worked once but when I do another dvd that is over 4.7 GB, I get a runtime error

Rebuilder error
Runtime error 9
Subscript out of range

The rebuilder only lists one video title set under the source path box, however there is more than one video title set on the disc. Also, the rebuilder gives me a meesage before this saying that Warning: The input directory is already small enough to fit on a DVD-5, No compression is necessary. Continue anyway? Whant am I doing wrong; how can i avoid these warning/messages and have the Rebuilder recognize that compression needs to be done.

Thanks

P.S. I'm using rebuilder v 0.56, EDcce.exe v.1.81 CCE 2.67.00.27 SP Trial

 

One time I had Rebuilder show the correct titles that added up to over 4.7 gigs and gave the warning that the files were already smaller than the taget size.

I didn't fully figure it out but I had been doing a lot of editing. I started from scratch and everything was fine.

It does sound like the source file path may need to be reset. After you check to see if the ripped files are all there then recheck where the source files are routed.

 

Actually it would be more accurate to say CCE SP 2.67 breaks something when working with DVD-RB. It appears they may have changed the meaning of one-or-more of their .ECL parameters and a single CBR pass is occuring instead of VBR multipass. Sigh... they seem to do that a lot. I'm working it.

 

If the title set isn't listed, it is because it is too small to get any reasonable benefit from additional compression (< 50MB). Another possibility is that the entire set may not have been included when it was ripped to HD.

 

Thx, jdobbs.

 

@ hypo...

Would you confirm whether or not the entire titleset was included when you ripped to your hard drive? Thanks.

 

Hey has anyone seen any wierd artifacting like this:


I'm trying to back up seven samurai using
dvd-rebuilder v0.56 w/ CCE SP 2.67.00.27

The DVD backed up wonderfully (good quality and size),
but at the very beginning of chapter 4 I get
the problem above. The original has nothing weird going
on there, and neither does the backup I took with
dvdshrink.

Any ideas? I tried to back it up twice thinking it might be some fluke, but I recieved the same result.
