DVDRB crashing w/segment editor

[archaeo]

Seeing some strange behaviour by DVDRB when using the segment editor on a recent project. The source DVD is the documentary ‘STEEP’, and I’m choosing to encode the full disc w/menus, etc, but using segment editor to edit out various previews (using slideshow mainly). After saving the changes in segment editor the following is happening:

When I start encoding it starts out fine on the first segment , but very suddenly Rebuilder just disappears, leaving the encoder still running by itself, without the RB program running. It continues to encode until the end of the segment, which of course it then shuts itself down since RB is no longer running.

As a control, I tried running the same project without using the segment editor, and it ran flawlessly– no problem.

I also ran it through DVDRB v1.26.6, just to see if it was something with this recent version, and the problem was observed with v1.26.6 as well.

So something appears to be causing RB to shut itself down after editing with the segment editor on this particular project. I have not noticed this problem before on previous projects after using Seg Editor.
Using DVDRB v1.27.2, CCE Basic v2.70.1.16, Avisynth 2.57 (MT).

Hmmm... definitely odd. I'm a little stumped as to how to debug it... I'll see if I can find that DVD -- can you give me a specific set of steps that can reproduce it?

hi jdobbs,

I ripped the dvd with ripit4me, full disc. Set RB to full backup, enabled menu encoding and used filter editor to add in an avisynth script (degrain/seesaw combo).
Ran prepared, then went into segment editor.
For segment editing, I checked ‘slideshow’ for almost every extras segment, with a couple of exceptions on 2 or 3 previews. (If you need the exact profile of my segment changes, I could check on that since I saved the project). With those changes I got the size down to 4.15Gb before I went into the main feature and used the slider to put the final size at 4.32Gb. I then saved the changes and hit Rebuild to kick off the encode. As I mentioned, it initiated CCE fine but after a few minutes RB just went away leaving CCE to finish its two passes before closing down.

I then used the same settings as above and ran RB without any segment editing, and all went smooth. In fact, it’s still encoding right now.

jdobbs - did you run into the same issue with this title?

Sorry, haven't tried it yet.
