dvdrb sticks when doing redist pass

[Carpo]

well i say dvdrb, it looks like its cce, although, i have tested this with cce basic, cce sp, cce sp2, hc, and they all seem to stick at the same place on various discs.

This happens on XP SP2, SP3, Vista, Vista SP1(x64, havent tried on x86). I have ripped, ripped, and re-ripped all the discs using various methods, i have formatted the hard drives, and it still happens so i am at a loss.

It does it randomly on discs, cant remember if it did it on the AMD box i had or if its just the new pc i have now, specs below

cpu: intel Q6600 2.4ghz
mem: 4gb (3.25 under xp - 4gb under vista)
drives: all sata 3gbps

Use HC for the redist pass (mode menu). CCE is known to hang sometimes.

wouldn't that cause issues? using two different encoders ? also HC also sticks on redist pass, as stated in my original post, although this is probably not even related, i have rechecked my settings and see that audioblank() (or something like that) is unticked, i believe this was a work around for AMD cpus and cce, should i re tick it now that im back on an intel box, or does it not make any difference what cpu your using, if its on or off or not

No. HC is only used to do the redist and set the BRs for the segments. It causes no issues in that regard. Search this forum for why HC was introduced for CCE users.

Sorry, I overlooked HC in your post 1. Something's wrong with the source, I'd say.

well as i said in first post i have ripped it a few times and it doesn't seem to have any special protections or any thing else out the ordinary, although it takes a long time to do the redist pass, it does complete and the disc encodes fine, CCE or HC does not stick when encoding, its just the redist pass, strange i know

edit: after putting dvd decrypter back to default settings and using anydvd one problem seems to be behaving, strange as the settings in dvd decrypter have never gave me any issues before, and these are old dvds so i doubt they will have any protections that dvd decrypter couldnt handle, even anydvd said there was nothing on the discs :/
