Input On DVD Rebuilder Guide

Well guys I have reinstalled all the software again, cce sp trial, rebuilder & avisynth. But alas I still get the same error messages. I think it is now time to give up, which is a shame as reading all your messages it seems to be the best. The only problem I now have is which combo of software to choose instead, this choice seems to be down to preference. Its a pity it is not all as clear cut as what is the best??

Prehaps when I have some more time (and not so frustrated with it all)I will do another install and try again.

Thanks for the help all the same, i am sure i will be asking for help with this type of problem in the near future

 

Yes, I down loaded the eclcce file and set cce to run that exe. But i still get the message saying 'cant open ecl file'(not avalible in trial version)and if I ok this about 30 time it moves onto phase 3 and then says 'there is nothing to do, can't locate appropriate file in working directory! you must prepare and encode first.

 

ok will try again later, will let you know how I get on.

You don't have to give it up completely just find yourself a suitable application that supplies your needs for now while you are still in the learning process. DVDrebuilder, CCE SP, and Avisynth don't use that much hard disk space so its not a problem to keep them. Perhaps when you are a little less frustrated and you can tackle the issue again with a fresh perspective.

 

The trick is to double click on the eclCCE.exe file once directly then it will ask for directions to the CCE sp program at which point CCE will open a window.

If you have not done this exact thing then it will not work.
Once you have done this the eclCCE program will open CCE everytime so you direct the window in rebuilder to the eclCCE program you just double clicked on.

If you get the setup the actual use is easy.

 

I still say it was harder to get Pinnacle to actually work properly.

If you say that DVDcopy2 is better than pinnacle then have you tested both against each other? If it is true then CCE couln't be better than DVDcopy 2.
Pinnacle looked exactly like the CCE results except one tiny artifact that barely showed up.
If DVDcopy2 is the same minus any artifact then CCE is an unnecessary expense.

I will download the demo and try again. I'll let you know what I think.

 

Take 64026402's advice he's actually using it while the rest of us are using CCE basic.

 

Give DVDcopy2 a try, everyone that has reported good things. You only get to use it for three days but it's fast and you can do a lot of backups in that time. Let me know how it works.

When you are using high quality encoders it's sometimes hare to tell the difference. Where CCE excels is on those long 2 and a half hour plus really large files.

And yes I tested Pinnacle against DVDcopy2 and they are close in picure quality with a slght edge going to DVDcopy2 but DVDcopy2 does the encode in less than half the time. Using anyDVD I get a copy from start to finish in a half hour.

6402... I have been using copy2 and IC8 hard for the last 2 days, very slight difference, edge maybe going to copy2. However it is fast, i mean FAST. The quality it gives is unbelievable when u consider it's speed. One thing sophocles, I found it to be faster using decrypter and writing to the HD 1st than when I used anydvd and did it on the fly. I did a 2hr. and 40 min. movie in 30 min., this includes setup time. I still think rebuilder/CCE is better, but not by much. I definitely think these are the top 3 of em all.

 

Maybe a good point bigorange I've been ripping all along because I use DVDremake on eveything. BTW thanks to DVDremake I'm able to keep the menus. With file and audio track removal I was able to clean almost a gig from The Patriot Game and I still got to keep the menu. I then backed it with Rebuilder/CCE and with DVDcopy2 and I can't see the difference.

 

sophocles,BTW did you see vurbal's update on rebuilder-53a? Did you use v53 and have any problems?

 

No I never read his update, the physical layout of 0.53 was the same so I got rid of the old version and downloaded the new one and placed it in the same folder where the original was and the mPEG2Dec3dg.dll. Afterwards I took a few more seconds and redid the settings. Are you having problems with it? If so let me know what they are so that I won't be surprised when it happens to me.

 

Sophocles: Check thread: Don't use DVD Rebuilder 0.53.

Ok Update: This part is new to me because I never used it in my original settings. [bold]Also under AVS Options, go to Advanced and make sure[/bold] MPEG2Source("source",idct=7)
