Using DVDremake and Other Tools with DVDrebuilder And CCE

vurbal, it's pretty amazing how easy it is to operate, especially with all it can do. I, also am very excited about it, to the point of using it when I don't really need to. However, I think a guide would be an excellent idea and would certainly help spread the use of the app. I too, am looking forward to it. If you need any input, I would be happy to oblidge. PS- I finally got it to work with rbldr/cce on M. Gibson's The Patriot. Thing is, I didn't do anything different than the other times, to my knowledge, at least.

 

I give up..for now.
I've tried all the possible software ver. combinations I can think of but still Dvdremake fusks up things for rebuilder.
The bottom line: I can't get the Alien DC disc 1 to work after stripping the alternative theatrical release from the vob files. I get buffer overflow every time dvdrebuilder starts rebuilding phase. Last time I tried (today) I only stripped the angle and nothing else. Guess I have to wait and hope the next ver. of rebuilder supports multiple angles.
Btw I increased the swap file but I hardly think that is the reason, since I can run other memory hungry applications without a problem (if you specify automatic allocation). Windows should allocate more memory if the program suffers, like when I use photoshop and image ready etc.

Vurbal is working on a guide, when he's finished perhaps that will help resolve your difficulty. Also I butchered a movie with DVDremake to the point of becoming unplayable but at no did it stop CCE from encoding it. I only discovered the flaws in my editing when I was playing it back.

A bit ironic, hehe. You "butchered" the movie as you said, and I pay painstakingly attention ensuring there isn't a flaw elsewhere on my disc, besides the anglestrip, that rebuilder would react to. And you get yours to work. Something doesn't smell right

I look forward to your guide Vurbal!

 

shoeila, don't give up! I thought i was the only one having this problem. Then brian said he was too. It's such a perfect concept-reauthor with remake then run it thru rbldr/cce= perfect backup! vurbal told me there is no snag with the 2 working together he knows of. I knew it couldn't be my work in remake, cos i used it with IC8 and dvdcopy2 all the time with perfect results. So, where does that leave ya? Damned if I know, but guess what? I did Mel Gibson's The Patriot with remake and rbldr/cce and it came out perfect. So, I do know this- it will work. Now I'm anxious to try it again. We just gotta figure out that 1 little thing that stymies us. My biggest obstacle is the amt. of time it takes to test with rbldr/cce. To do a movie, you just run it while you're asleep. But to test, it's more hands on, and time just seems to drag on and on and on......

When I said butcher I didn't mean careless I just went to far and somehow broke the chains that link it and therefore making it unworkable. Its the only failure that I've had out of all the movies I've edited with DVDremake. I've just finished editing Cold Mountain but there is little that can be done with remake on this one. There are several foreign language files and I think that is where the savings are going to be.

thanx vurbal, downloaded tray player, this ought to help speed things up somewhat.

 

"have to go to Frisco"? You poor boy, I really feel sorry for ya now. lol lol Bring back lots a goodies

 

I've done 2 guides so far for DVDReMake and I'm hoping to do a few more

the best thing I've done so far with this tool is join 2 completely different DVD's with full working menu's and extras (guide to come). It has a Title menu that allows you to choose either DVD as if you are physically swapping the DVD's. Should be good for those with dual layer burners

MachemX...Welcome to AD.

Thanks for the guides. I just got RM Pro a few days ago, and have been going through your guides that I found in the ReMake forums. I'm planning on diving in this weekend when I get a block of time. Thanks for your good work, and your informative posts.

 

Thanks for the welcome back Doc409 but I just haven't posted at AD recently due to lack of time (been making guides )

I hope the guides help you learn a few of things you can do with tool as they are quite specific at the minute

 

MackemX

Welcome, I'll be checking your guides soon. It's nice to have someone with experience using DVDremake, posting here.

@vurbal,

Hi and it's nice to see you used (still use?) DVDStripper. I can tell you that the chances are that the error you experienced with Farscape may be the IFO's after Ifoedit has finished with them due to Ifoedit unresolved bugs & issues . I found a few that affected certain DVD structures and we overcame some by fixing the IFO's afterwards but not all as development slowed right down to a standstill

as for DVDRemake question you asked, IIRC it replaces the cell with a blank but also inserts a command to jump

@Sophocles, I've just browsed through the thread and although vurbal has mentioned the thread at cdr-zone I will repeat it just in case people missed it. I'd recommend people don't use PowerDVD as as test player as it plays non-compliant DVD's especially those with stripped content and I learn't the hard way with my Sony DVD last year (now sold )

I do think the best player to use for playback testing is Mark's Tray DVD Player. For those more advanced it also shows what the parameter values are at any time along with making a log that includes navigation paths. It also will tell you that something is wrong with the DVD if it can tell you what it is

http://videoproductions.com.au/dvd-lab/ is the link and you can look for DVDTrayplayer

I'm still learning about DRM myself but it's nice to know I'm helping others like I did with my previous backup guides

I just wish there was more hours in the day and you didn't have to work for a living

 

MackemX

Thanks, I've already joined the CD-R Zone forum and got that information there and I think it was from your post. I've not posted on the forum yet because I don't feel experienced enough using DVDremake but I'm working on it.

 

MackemX, welcome or I guess it's welcome back to AD, we can always use more input on remake. Absolutely the best re-authoring tool I've seen out there. Maybe you'll be the one who can help me figure out why I can only get it to work with rbldr/cce once in a blue moon. I'm batting a 1,000 with it and other apps ie. Instantcopy 8 and Intervideo dvdcopy 2. Lokking forward to your guides, I think vurbal is preparing one also. Maybe we'll have a bake off. LOL PS-I just installed Mark's Tray DVD Player, it should help speed up testing in rbldr/cce with remake.

I suspect that no one guide is going to fully explain how to use DVDremake unless the structure of a DVD is comprehensively explained.

Another alternative would be to come up with individual movie recipes, which would be very helpful to new and skilled users alike, but a tedious task for its chefs.
