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

Oh... I see what you mean. The changelog on afterdawn hasn't been updated.

If you download it -- the changelog in the rebuilder.txt file shows the changes. Here they are:

- Corrected an error that cause QuEnc to fail due to a "blank" .AVS filename.

- Tweaked SCR calculations to more closely control STD Buffer size. This may reduce or eliminate reported audio dropouts on some players.

- Added "Rewrite Defaults" option to the "Skins" menu. This will recreate the two standard interfaces in the Skins directory. The option is meant to provide a way to correct any mistakes created in editing the files. It can also be used to implement changes I may make to the standard interfaces.

- Fixed an cosmetic error in which some residual color was included in "Folder" buttons.

- Added control over placement of the AudioList, SubList, DTSCheckbox, and MinCheckBox objects in the SETUP dialog box. These were inadvertently left out of the last version.

- To enable the last two fixes -- YOU MUST SELECT "Rewrite Defaults" in the "Skins" menu so the lastest definitions are updated.

Longtime no see! Hmm! Come to think of it I've never seen you. It's been a while.

Vurbal hasn't been around much either but I'm going with a possible alien abduction in his case.

 

They must have used a different ship. I didn't see him on mine. Interesting, though, I think I saw John Kerry being probed a couple of tables over...

 

No kidding??? John must have been between us. I'll say Hi next time.

 

Cold isn't it? (The probe, I mean)

 

Damn cold.

 

After 5 minutes with vurbal, they woulda tossed him back out. LOL

 

Are you kidding! They wouldn't have time to throw him over, they'd still be reading his response.

 

LOL, true, but on the other hand, after 5 minutes he could probably write them a comprehensive guide on how to fly their spaceship and pick up unsuspecting earthlings. LOL

 

Sophocles,
Always interested in getting more info on who is selling what. Just goes to show an original premise of mine proves more true all the time, "it can sometimes be a crapshoot when the consumer goes to buy media; due to brands changing manufacturers". HP resells media it purchases as does a lot of brands. I wonder which was in the HP sales pipeline first, CMC or MCC.

Thanks everyone. Now that I know the aliens are doing cold probes, I'll try to avoid shipping out with them.

 

brobear...I would go along with your premise about media. You don't know what you are getting with name branded media until it is too late...therefore it is a crapshoot. There was a thread about Prodisc using CMC being sold at X company...and by the time folks got there, the Prodiscs they were selling were made by another company. That is why I tend to just stay with Ridata...and have Nero check each burn.

 

Doc

And that's why I buy from newegg.


Vurbal tell them that we just want peace, write it down for them, as a guide to human rights and....Hmm! If I go any further with this, nothing short of evolution and time will change things. It will get written but no one will live long enough to read it. Perhaps an abridged version will help! Probably not!

 

I just tried out DVD rebuilder to copy some of my dvd-9 movies, i read the user guide and searched through doom 9's forum, but cant post there for 5 more days.

So heres my problem, i open up the dvd files and am able to transcode it fine, whether it be one click mode or 3 click. It goes without error till the end.

But the end result is a movie about 800MB in size, while the original was well over 7 gigs. The quality of the movie is horrible, i want to know why it is compressing the movie so much and how to fix this.

Im using dvd rebuilder .66 beta, cce basic. THanks for any help you can give me.

 

I came across a hitch late yesterday evening, I returned home to find that the encode had stopped on 92.5% and remained that way until I closed it. Don't worry I gave it 30 minutes to respond and still nothing. I'll work on it again later tonight but I just wanted to mention this to see if anyone out there has had any similar problems.

Sounds like you may not have the AviSynth or the paths set properly. Vurbal wrote an excellent user guide posted on this forum. Doing a clean install of the program going step by step usually solves most problems. Unless updated though, it is dated as far as the mpegdec plugin. One now uses dgdecode to replace it. Other than that, I believe the setup remains pretty much the same. Just use the latest version of Avisynth.

You'll find the above links handy for finding the latest files to use.

Just to be sure, is that the retail version of CCE Basic? The trial will not work.

How much space is left on the hard drive you're sending the RB files to? If you're using a single hard drive, free space is even more critical.

 

Bro bear, so your saying dont use the mpegdec, use the file dgdecode instead??? I assume its in the same decodefix zip file. Ill try starting over and installing everything again.

And yes it is the retail version

 

@ brobear...

I have more than enough space set aside for DVDs, partitoned a drive specifically for DVDs and ran Disk Keeper before using DVD-RB. That following morning I tried another DVD and it went A-okay. Possibly needed a restart being that it was on for the past 7 hours. I'll try it tonight and see what happens.

What DVDrebuilder are you using. I have had Rebuilder hang like this before but if it happens more than once or twice then use a different version.

I upgraded to a DVDrebuilder once that didn't get along with my setup. It was fixed by using the previous version.

With your ripped DVD and everything else on your partition exactly how much space do you have left. Donald could be right but to me this sounds like a resource issue. remember while all that processing is going one your hard disk will be swapping a very large file back and fourth between your main memory and your hard disk and then there's the avisynth files and Rebuider has to do its thing. You shouldn't be using anything less than 20 gigs for a sizeable movie. What will happen is if there's inadequate space to perform the task then it wil eventually time out and even lockup. I've done that on a 120 gig hard drive which I use for movie only.
