Just purchased, installed, and obtained the key file for DVD RB Pro 1.09. After entering in my email address for the keyfile, it says that the default skins have been updated, and then it crashes giving me the infamous run-time error 5. This is a Windows XP machine, which is peculiar since all of the threads I've seen have been related to Windows 98/SE. At any rate, here's my setup:

Windows XP32
Opteron 146 x64 CPU
DFI Lanparty nf4 ultra-d mobo
1GB OCZ RAM
Host drive is a Seagate ST3808110AS x 2 SATA in RAID0
Japanese is the default codepage for non-unicode programs

As an aside, I've also tried running DVD RB with MS AppLocale and setting that to English, and I received the same error. This makes me doubt it's related to my choice of default codepage for non-unicode softs. Any ideas?

DVD Rebuilder will only work if you have a Western language selected for non-unicode.

That is very definitely the problem. It has been discussed here on Doom9 before and is not related to Windows 98 use... I've sent you an e-mail explaining how to make it work.

[Added] The "infamous error 5"?

Sure enough you were right in the respect that Pro 1.09 will not work under WinXP with a non-western codepage as default, even when running it with AppLocale, however the free version does work (without AppLocale even) which seems kind of odd as you'd assume that if one didn't the other shouldn't as well. Are there any plans to fix this?

edit: infamous because the error itself seems pretty anomalous and doesn't give much description of what is actually happening, in addition to the fact I've seen the error referenced not just from this problem, but the Windows 98 one and it would pop up in other operations as well.

The freeware version works? Have you actually tried it? It may not give you an Error 5 -- but I didn't think it wouild work.

Yeah, I remember the Windows 98 problem now -- it was listed in the FAQ I think.

Yeah, it starts up fine. I haven't tried an encode, but I'll give it a try tonight after work since I'm leaving now.

edit: yeah a little late on this, but trying to add source files gives the runtime error 6 buffer overflow. So yeah, not working. Hopefully this'll be fixed eventually.
