hi all,
i had an interesting anomaly recently after upgrading to doitfast4u 1.3.3 and dvddecrypter 3.1.7.0.
previously i had managed a successful back up of 'old school-uncut' r4 edition using earlier versions of the big 3 but had kept the original iso on my computer while i was testing the dvd-r...which has subsequently been relegated to coaster status following an unfortunate incident :(
anyways after loading the latest versions, numenu4u rc2 ran without a hitch but doitfast4u would encounter a 'error parsing parameter file' - which i already knew was an issue with subs. however upon completion the vts folders containing the extras (vts_03, vts_09, vts_10) were empty?!?!?
so i tried again with ALL subs selected....same thing?!?!?
...then no subs selected....same thing?!?!?!
so after trying my usual troubleshooting techniques (scratch head...scream...kick computer....run around in circles) i decided to uninstall dvddecrypter 3.1.7.0 and re-install 3.1.6.0.
and wouldnt you know it....no problems at all!:D
so i am happy, yet confused at to why this occured.
any thoughts?

Those folders are created by RA to hold compiled Scenarist projects if you decide to use the individual VTS scps instead of the Reauthorist.scp. If you don't use them, those dirs stay empty.

hey Eyes`Only,
thanks for the clarification. i suppose where i was getting confused (pretty standard usually) is that after doitfast4u had finished processing and RA started there was only vts_01 loaded (even though i had selected other vts' to be encoded). so after checking through the doitfast4u log i found this:

(21:57:20) Newer version of DVDDec detected (3.1.7.0)
(21:57:20) Split Mode= auto VobID_Demux=0 CellID_Demux=0
(21:57:20) Using DVD Decrypter to Demux VTS 03 PGC 01 ANGLE 01
(21:57:22) !No files demuxed from this pass...
(21:57:22) File to rename= VTS_01_PGC_01_1 - 0x84 - Audio - AC3 - 2ch - 48kHz - DRC - English - Director's Comments - DELAY 0ms.AC3
(21:57:22) vid= 0, pgc= 01, ang= 1, vob= _0, cel= 01_ darloc= 16~9
(21:57:22) Rename to= VTS__03_P01.I-BFF.16~9_1.M2V
(21:57:22) Substreams = 0 1
(21:57:22) renerr= 2 vobid= 0 sub= 1 y= 1

(21:57:25) Starting sub processing
(21:57:25) Sub Processing Complete
---
(21:57:25) Step 2: Creating DVD2AVI Projects
(21:57:25) No D2V files found! Aborting this VTS."

and wrongly assumed that the two were connected.

anyways, all is well again and i managed to complete the project last night.:D
thanks
