Audio track remapping error

[roux]

Great job with the new version of dvd-rb. I'm sorry to report an error already just after the release of the new version :(

But i have found a problem in the new audio track remapping feature. I wanted to try this feature so i opened a disc which i want to backup.

I have processed this disc first with the newest version of DvdReMake where i disabled the first audio track so i only keep the second which is a DTS track. Then by clicking on the audio remap function in dvd-rb i receive the following error, 'runtime error 380: invalid property value'.

I think this is the result of disabling it with DRM. The ifo file is looking like this:

Hope i won't get shot for this :p

I'll see if I can repeat it tomorrow... gotta' get some sleep.

Just a question... if you wanted to remove a track, why wouldn't you just do it with DVD-RB?

I also received the 'runtime error 380: invalid property value'.
The error came when I switched to an extra and DVD-rb shut down.

I always process my discs first with DRM to see how much space i can save by stripping unwanted extra's, warnings, audio streams, foreign menu languages etc.

I don't always have re-encode, in some cases by stripping some stuff the disc just turns out to be small enough to fit a DVD5, so that's why i remove everything with DRM instead of using dvd-rb.

I do exactly the same but using DVDShrink in reauthor 'uncompressed' mode

Does DVDShrink really alter the output even though its supposedily saving it without any encoding using the 'uncompressed' option ?

A few on here have suggested it does



I also use it to remove the rubbish from the start of movie only backups, that you get at the start, 20th Century Fox titles, etc, etc

Switched to an extra? I don't understand.

Hmm... I just went into DRM -- I don't even see an option to remove an audio track. Could you give me steps that you took that caused the error?

I'm not sure if you are talking about DRM pro or the normal version. With pro it's very easy. http://www.Rippraff.de/Pics/DRM.jpg
You can both disable or delete audio tracks with rightclick.

I have "Pro" but it's 2.6.4 -- I guess that must have come later.... at any rate I can't repeat this problem. Does anyone have a simple scenario that will cause this error?

I've PM you at 26 of Sept, but this is another story... :p

I will check it out but having the problem now with to less space on my HD.

I'm using DRM PRO V3.04. You can only delete and disable audio tracks with V3.

[Rippraff]

Okay I can confirm this behaviour. As long as there a blanked streams which aren't at the end and RB shows them as unreferenced, RB crashs with a runtime error 380.
I've made four tests with a movie which owns three audio streams (engl. and german AC3 plus german DTS).
Blanked the first stream with DRM => RB crashs
Blanked the second stream with DRM => RB crashs
Blanked or deleted the last stream with DRM => Audo ;) track remapping worked.

Workaround:
1. Don't blank audio streams with DRM... :p
2. Open the blanked DVD in PgcEdit => doubleclick on your main movie => under audio streams chose the one which is marked as "none" => change the value to an existing stream. You can even set it to the deleted stream number and remapp it later with RB.

Edit: Tested the same with Vobblanker: Blanked everything except the main movie and stripped two audio streams => Audio track remapping works because Vobblanker doesn't change the stream infos.

Thanks, Dimad.

Sorry, this should have been

I love your program! :)

Rippraff is right! The main movie on my dvd had no unreferenced/blanked streams, but when I changed to an extra that had the unreferenced/blanked streams dvd-rb crashed after the 'runtime error 380: invalid property value'.

You can try it as well with PgcEdit:
Open the blanked DVD in PgcEdit, try it with "Fix number of streams" macro, if this one doesn't help => doubleclick on the VTS which contains the unreferenced stuff => under audio streams chose the ones which are marked as "none" => change the value to an existing stream, in your case 0 because there is only the first stream left (0x80). You can even set it to the deleted stream number and remapp it later with RB.

Ok... fixed it. I'll be in the next update.
