DVD Rebuilder (CCE One-Click Beta) Bug Reports

[jdobbs]

All,

The purpose of this thread is to try and organize the rather large traffic that is being posted (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72691) for DVD-RB since it started beta testing. In this thread please post any bugs you may encounter. It would be nice if you used the format below -- but if you don't want to waste the time, just use whatever format you want.

1. DVD-R Version: x.xx
2. Encoder being used: CCE X.XX, ReJig X.XX, or QuEnc X.XX
3. Using eclCCE? Y or N
4. Bug encountered: Description of the bug, with any detail that might make it clearer and easier to fix.
5. If you think it might help, use the "Copy Status to Clipboard" feature of v0.19 and above -- and post it with the bug report.

I will also attempt to keep the link below up-to-date so you can always come to the first page of this thread to get the latest version of the beta.

The latest version can be found here. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75452)

You can find brief installation and usage instructions on this post/page. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73051&postid=485191)

Again my thanks to all the beta testers. Your constructive inputs are really helpful in making this a useful product.

0. NTSC
1. DVD-RB v18
2. Rejig and CCE
3. N
4. Fast Forward / Rewind crashes or freezes some stand alone playes. Also fails using IFOEdit DVD player.

jdobbs have you tried your output in IFOEdit DVD player?

[DDogg]

I found a silly one with 19. I had an iso of 2010 mounted and tried RB on it with rejig. I didn't even notice it needed no compression. hehe, Rejig choked on a re-compression factor of 107.4. :) Perhaps you need to check for user idiocy.

That happened to someone earlier and I forgot to put that check in. That'll be in the next version. You want to know what is even funnier -- if you use CCE it will actually reencode at a bitrate higher than the original! Now that's a waste.

[DMagic1]

no oversize problem after all.

[jdobbs]

If the files are still in the D2VAVS directory, could you do a little comparing between the .MPV (original) and the .M2V (transcoded) files? Does it match the percentage that DVD-RB calculated? I just want to see if it is my calculation or the actual ReJig resizing that is off.

Thx.

[DMagic1]

Sorry I already deleted them.

I was testing v.019 and I just got an error.

Run-time error 5:
Invalid procedure call or argument

This was during Rebuilding, as it stated on segment 0.

[StifflerStealth]

@DMagic1,

Damn. I'm also NTSC and can't get it to repeat this - I was hoping it was something simple like a computation issue with PAL when figuring out the contents of the Data Search Informatin (DSI) packet.

In the DSI, which is in the NAVPACK there are SRIs that point to VOBUs in a forward and backward direction. If your FF and RW aren't working properly it would tend to indicate that this table is populated incorrectly. Unfortunately this table isn't enumerated by VOBEdit (except in Hex mode) making it difficult to review it. It makes it even worse when the FF and REW work fine for the discs I've tried (at 1.5x, 5x, and 20x on my standalone(s) and also using PowerDVD)

I'll go back over the code that fills the table and see if there are any anomalies...

@All,

Are there others who are experiencing problems with FF and RW?

I just mux a DVD using v0.19:
In Nero Showtime, setting the play rate faster than 1x is like pressing the stop button. Showtime doesn't crash, it just stops playback. On the other hand, I can use InterVideo WinDVD and faster play rates. The image is still burning for me to test the stand alone.

On a good note, the DVD can now be opened in Nero ReCode, so I am running it on the re-encoded DVD with everything set at 100%. This might be a temparary fix to get the fast forward stuff to work right.

EDIT: Nope, recode didn't fix it. It might just be a problem with Show time itself since it worked in WinDVD. Still burning at 1x to test on my Stand alone.

Stiff

[jdobbs]

Could you try something for me? Using IFOEdit go into the IFO file of the offending VTS and under VTSI_MAT, change the value of VTS_TMAPT to "0". Make sure you write the original value down -- and don't run "Get VTS Sectors"

Then try and run it and see if it behaves any differently.

Thx.

[DMagic1]

Still the same thing.

no over size after all

[JvD]

Tried the 0.18 version and got the same error again, runtim error 9. Same movie (Breakfast at Tiffanys) and same setup. CCE seems to stop when it errives to one of those still pictures. At least if I play the avs-file it looks like some kind of still. Can You Tell DBDRB to skip those files?

BUT when using Rejig (as transcoder) everything runs OK, without a glitch. (on the same movie)

Hope this EclCCE/CCE bug can be removed. Without it, it makes this app my sweet little darling ;-)

[acido]

I tried with 3 differend PAL DVD but i still cannot produce a playable copy of them on my standalone (elta 8882).
1. DVD-R Version: 0.16
2. Encoder being used: CCE 2.67.0023 trial
3. Using eclCCE v 1.7b
4. Bug encountered:
- DVD takes longer to be recognized as a DVD format
- starts playing not from menus, then jumps back to them after some time.
- Selecting chapters from menus the dvd starts skipping between chapters.
- Looking the film from the beginning and pressing NEXT chapter i got the same results, the DVD starts skipping quickly between chapters.
.
DVD has single PGC titlesets.
.
Playing back in powerDVD gives no problems, so it may be related to my standalone, but never had a similar problem before with other programs ( clonedvd - dvdshrink - Pinnacle ic8 ...) . :confused:
.
Can someone outline program limitations and bugs in a single page for reference? e.g what type of DVDs can actually be backed-up an what not
.
TIA

[jdobbs]

ALL:

Okay, the good news is I've been able to repeat the Navigation problem (FF, RV). It's 4:50AM, I just got up, and I've started the coffee. This will be my number one priority today. I'll post as soon as I find resolution.

jdobbs

[DMagic1]

Thankyou!! :)
Hope you get it resolved.

Its the same time here and I'm just going to bed. See ya in 5 hours.

[SLA]

If i perform CRC check on both .bup and .ifo it says that they differ, but they should/must be same. so i guess the tmapti time table transfer is only performed for the .ifos and the .bups are left untouched?

btw. great tool

[hypo20]

@jdobbs

0. DVD: Bruce Almighty PAL
1: DVD-BR v.019 (but this problem I have from beginning)
2: CCE-SP 2.67.0.23 (no trial)
3: using last available eclCCE
4: audio is not working on re-encoded DVD in standalone player (only in menus, which are not re-encoded). In PC everything works fine, but in player...no. ;o) I'm testing it on 4xDVD+R but the player is working with it for sure. I've tested it with others transcoders. :)
Can you check it plese? I'm going mad. :) I want to use yours app. :)

Right now I'm trying some fixes. I will post report. :)

EDIT:
Maybe de-multiplexing a video stream from re-encoded video and running it through IfoEdit with Correct NAV-Packs, Correct Original IFO's and ReMux options enabled, the stream will be re-multiplexed and IFO re-written, so maybe this the way. :) I'll test everything.

[robot1]

@hypo20
Have you already tried a moch strip (select strip stream and keep all stream) in ifo-edit?

@all
Am I the only one who gets undersized results?
Two test: 3,30 and 3,32 GB.

[Abnormal1]

@hypo20
Bruce Almighty PAL is the next DVD i am going to try ReBuilder on. Anyway have have you had a look at the dvd in IFOEdit and checked that the audio streams are referenced in VTSI_MAT and VTS_PGCTI. Maybe compare it with the original.

[jdobbs]

All:

FOUND IT!! The problem with navigation (FF/RW) that was being experienced has been found and corrected. It was not in the TMAPTI table (although I did find a bug in which my updates sometimes weren't being written :( ) For the Geeks who care: In the Data Search Information (DSI) table of each NAVPACK I was setting an incorrect bit (used a bad mask value).

Anyway I tested the instance in which I could repeat this using the IFOEdit player -- and the problem went away.

A new Version of DVD Rebuilder (v0.20) is attached. The changes are listed below:

- Fixed the nagging navigation error that was causing some players to hang up when fast-forwarding or rewinding

- Added an option to SETUP that will change the background color (for those of you who just can't stand blue-green)

- Implemented code that warns and stops when attempting to reencode information that will already fit on a DVD-5 (without additional compression)

NOTE: ADDED ONE MORE FIX AND UPDATED TO 0.21

- Corrected an error in which the TMAPTI updates were being made to the .IFO file but not to the corresponding .BUP

ATTACHMENT DELETED AFTER 2112 DOWNLOADS. LOOK AT THE FIRST PAGE OF THIS THREAD IF YOU WANT THE MOST CURRENT VERSION.

THANK YOU !!! :cool: :cool: :cool:

[jdobbs]

Just a note to those who are experiencing the navigation issues. If you want to test the new version and you still have the files on your hard drive, you don't have to reencode (it can take a long time). You can switch from 1-Click mode to 3-Click mode and only run the "Rebuild" phase. Make sure, though, that none of your settings have changed...

This is bothering me because its another that I can't repeat. Could you post or PM me with your exact configuration? It would help if you just cut-and-pasted the entire contents of the Rebuilder.ini file. I'd also like to see a listing of the directory contents (source and working) if possible.

[quantum]

I still get a path/file access error when I try to rebuild if the source path is a read-only drive. It starts with "copying ifo, bup and menu files". Seems to get through 100% of that according to status bar, then I get the error.

[acido]

Hi jdobbs,
i've made another try with DVD-RB 0.21 but i'm still having big problems playing back to my standalone DVD ( elta 8882 ).
1. DVD-RB Version: 0.21
2. Encoder being used: Rejig 05e ( to save encoding time )
3. Using eclCCE v 1.7b
4. Bugs encountered:
- DVD takes longer to be recognized as a DVD format
- starts playing not from menus, then jumps back to them after some time.
- Selecting chapters from menus the dvd starts skipping between chapters.
- Looking the film from the beginning and pressing NEXT chapter i got the same results, the DVD starts skipping quickly between chapters.
.

Playing back in powerDVD/IFOEDIT gives no problems.
.
I have a working copy of the same dvd, and the failing one. Both obtained from the same stripped source, if you tell me how i can try to compare them or if interested i can send you some bup/ifo files should you need them.

[DnGermany]

First of all thanks for the program!
1. Dvd is Xmen-2 ntsc.
2. DVD-RB 0.20
3. Using QuEnc 0.41
4. During the start of the rebuild phase i get run time error '5' invalid procedure call or argument.

Anyone else have this problem? The thread was getting to long to read through everything again.

Everything is the same. Except of cell start/end sectors of course. Trying stripping streams with IfoEdit.

I think I know what part of this is and its related to still frames and/or button over video... have you tried more than one DVD?

[acido]

Yes, i've tried with 3 different DVDs for example:
"U2 go home" and "Crime shades" the 3rd is an italian/french film .
All the 3 ripped DVDs were stripped before using DVD-RB in order to shrink only what i really need, you can try to reproduce by :
- rip with dvddecrypter ISO mode removing all protections
- mount the image with daemon tools
- strip from the virtual drive using clonedvd v.2 to remove unneded titlesets/menus without compressing vobs ( size = 9999 ). Think you could also use ifoedit (as i was used in the past).
- compress with DVD-RB ( either using CCE or Rejig )
.
hope this helps
:)

[quantum]

I remember someone else reporting this. Processed Matchstick Men r1 ntsc and video and navigation is okay. Audio plays in Zoom Player but not in my Pioneer standalone. First time I've ever seen this happen. The audio for the menu works, but not for the main movie. I tried switching through all the audio channels. Again, main movie audio plays correctly in Zoom Player.

edit: My Pioneer standalone is the DV 260

Got the same prob Quantum.
Now testing with new version and some modifications done by IfoEdit. I'll post results maybe in one hour.

[2COOL]

I downloaded 0.21 and unzipped it but is it just me or is the file I got v1.0.0.0? :eek: Just put your cursor over your Rebuilder.exe in Explorer to check the version in ToolTip pop-up. Of course, it's the same for previous beta too. April Fool's came a little early. :p :p

[oCe]

posted this in the original -big thread- too, but will copy & paste here aswell, since it's a bug-report:

@jdobbs:

Well, tested your new version 0.21: same results. Nero burns the dvd fine now though, no more errors in the .bup-files. Problems that remain:

* my Pioneer DV-360 plays the first title, then displays 'STOP', no other titles can't be played. Manual skip (during that 1st title, which is the movie-company's logo) to the 2nd title or menu has no effect.
* on my Pioneer DV-360 no sound at all, just like I read about the DV-430 somewhere in this topic from another user. (the DV-360 and DV-430 are basicly the same)
* on my Philips DVD-625 no problems with playback, all audio channels (dolby digital 5.1 and 2.0 and dts) work without problems. Audio & video are sync, image quality is good (4 pass, CCE 2.67) only interlaced parts (some titles) are totally screwed up. Anyway to indicate or analyze chapters for interlaced mpeg's?

:) Have you tried doing any DVDs without stripping out title sets with Clonedvd or some other package? I can't predict what might happen when the source isn't original

Again, main movie audio plays correctly in Zoom Player. Odd for sure. I don't actually do any processing on the audio portion of the disc. About the extent of what I do is merge the original stream into the video stream as I'm rebuilding and modify the time stamps. I also leave the audio information in the IFOs intact.

[JvD]

jdobbs, you got PM!
I sent you some detaild info about thw runtime 9 problem. Hope it can help you. Yes, this is on a stripped movie (se my PM) but the same arises on the original movie as well, at least on this movie.

[DMagic1]

Thanks for all you efforts. Movie works fine now. No fforward problems at all.

[trebor]

I still get that runtime 9 error as well even with v0.21
It comes right away when i click the prepare button and it says:
- VTS_01.0.IFO: 3 349 897 sectors
-- Scanning and writing .D2V file
And then... poff, runtime error '9' Subscript out of range
I'm using cce 2.50, avisynth 2.54, EclCCE, MPEG2Dec3.dll
Movie is a PAL movie and so was 2 other i did yesterday. Those 2 worked perfectly but this 3'rd one seems imposible

Oops, missed this...
1. 0.21
2. CCE 2.50
3. Y
4. See above ^^
5. Can't use since program crashed

Oh, and thanks for a VERY promising proggie :D

[DMagic1]

1. DVD-RB v.021
2. Rejig
3. no
4. During playback, at the beginning of every chapter the video skips and pixilates. Sometimes it shows green blocks or lines. This is only visable on a stand alone player.

This is something I notice back before the latest version but I assumed it was related to the fforwared problems. It appears its a sperate problem.

Probably becaus of this problem, PowerDVD will not let you rewind past the start of some chapters.

[=coDec=]

@jdobbs

Firstly, thank you for sharing :)

1. DVD-RB v.021
2. CCE V2.67.0.23
3. Yes
4. During fast forward playback freezes at the start of every new chapter. Pressing play resumes play, until next chapter when the freeze ooccurs again. This repeats throughout the film. Playback suffers the same symptoms.

Menu functions perfectly.

Film: Serpico Region 2 (PAL)

Thanks again.

Standalone player: Alba DVD108 - no problems with other proggies-
DVDShrink, CloneDVD2 trial, etc.

Thats one test I hadn't tried yet. I tested this and yes I have similar problems. When I fforward it skips one chapter at the start of the next chapter.

[DMagic1]

@jdobbs

BTW, these two chapter problems seem to be related. Once again these problems are not visiable on my Toshiba but are visible on the other 4 dvd players I have. That means you probably wont see them on your standalones. I think the best way for you to come close to seeing the problem is to try to rewind in PowerDVD past chapter points. You can get past a few points but most of them will freeze.

[hypo20]

@jdobbs

I really appreciate your work, but after "testing weekend" (poor DVD+RW, erased and recorded soooo much) I must say DVD-BR is not usable for me at this time because of:

- audio in compressed titlesets is not working in standalone for me
- there's big problem with stills, standalone is stopping after 1st title

Nothing against your work, it's a GREAT tool indeed. You want help with something, just tell me. :)

GRRRRRRRRRREAT WORK from YOU.

You have to remember this is still a very early beta. Its hasnt even been a full week yet. Problems are getting resolved everyday he works on this. You have to give it more time. Rome wasnt built in a day. ;)

Now that you mention it... what I've posted earlier, that in my Pioneer DV-360 only the 1st title of the tested dvd was played... the 2nd title is a still image! So my guess would be that something goes wrong with stills then, perhaps worth a look?

to add the asked questions:

1. 0.21
2. cce v2.67
3. yes
4. bugs described in quoted parts

[jdobbs]

Thanks for all the help, guys. I'm a little burned out so I'm going to take a break for the rest of tonight. Tomorrow evening I'll go back to the code and find out:

1. Why the audio seems to not work on some players.
2. Why the FF and RW over chapter points isn't working correctly
3. Why some folks are getting the '9' errors

I will also look at:

1. Add proper support for still frames, interleaving, and button over video.
2. Better bit allocation algorithms for cells
3. Automatically recognizing and adding (interlaced=true)

Again, thanks. If I can get past the remaining bugs above I think I'll be close to the first real release of this thing.

[jdobbs]

So my guess would be that something goes wrong with stills then, perhaps worth a look? No doubt. I need to sort out my terrible handling of stills. I think this may be a major part of the remaining problems.

[DMagic1]

As a temporary fix, I found that running the output movie thru Shrink fixes the chapter point skipping video problems and may fix sound problem for others.

Shrink usually wouldn't accept the movie. It would say failed to open VTS_01_6.VOB, where VTS_01_5.VOB was the last VOB in the movie.

I got around this by adding a blank VOB named to the name Shrink was requesting. This blank VOB seems to need 6 vob_ids in it or more. At least for my movie it did. Any less and Shrink would ask for VTS_01_7.VOB.

Once the blank VOB was added Shrink accepted the movie and I set everything for no compression. The final result didnt have the fake VOB that I added at all.

I didn't know if everyone knew this or not but I thought I'd share the info. As I said this is just a temp solution. I hope that jdobbs bangs out the rest of the bugs soon.

[hypo20]

I know it's very early beta and I'm happy for this baby. :)

JDOBBS = LORD OF THE CCE :D

I'm gracefull for this. :)

I know I'm repeating it everytime, but GREAT WORK!!! Few bugs to soft out, but GREAT.

Getting "Run-time error '75': Path file access error" on Scooby Doo Where Are You disc 1 of Season 1/2.

Using CCE 2.66 SP, ECLCCE & DVDRB .18 and .21.

Everything is stored in on VTS with 10 PCGs. PCG01 is the play all option for all of the episodes (all seven episodes together). PCG04 - PCG10 contain each individual episode.

1. Where was the process when it happened -- Prepare, Encode, Rebuild?

2. Did you run any utilities on it (for example to strip streams) before running DVD-RB?

3. Is it an ISO mounted like a drive?

4. What were the paths involved?

Thanks.

1. DVD-R Version: 0.21
2. Encoder being used: CCE 2.50
3. Using eclCCE? Y
4. Bug encountered: After it went through all the encoding I get this error "Error in UpdateIFO: Shouldn't happen - contact developer"
When I hit Ok I get "Stop statement encountered"
Then I hit ok and the program disappears.

Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks.

[KungFuCow]

Something Ive noticed when attempting to run the finished RB output through a transcoder to "fix" things is that most of the transcoding software seems to think that the audio tracks that were omitted are still there. For example, I have DVDRB set up to remove everything that isnt English.

However, when running the movie back through both Roxio DVD Copier and DVD95Copy (DVDShrink wont even load the movie), it still shows a French audio stream that is 420MB or so and every time, the transcoder is making the output ~420ishMB too small.

Could this be related to any of the audio problems people are having?

[bramswell]

@jdobbs
just got 'runtime error '9' subscript out of range' when rebuilding.
lotr pal striped the movie only and 1 audio in shrink
v0.19 using cce2.50 (one click) tried switching to rejig and rebuilding and same error
first disc tried was godfather pal using v0.16 with menus and worked fine
then tried gone in 60 seconds pal using v0.19 -with menus and extras- could only select main movie and would skip chapters and jump back to menu or turn off.
also noticed the VIDEO_TS folder after encode for lort was 5.80 gb before rebuild..is this correct?

However, when running the movie back through both Roxio DVD Copier and DVD95Copy (DVDShrink wont even load the movie), it still shows a French audio stream that is 420MB or so and every time, the transcoder is making the output ~420ishMB too small.

Could this be related to any of the audio problems people are having?

Thats normal. If I run a CloneDVD output thru RB, it thinks the audio is still there also.

[robgarib]

For testing your program i have tried to encode "Daredevil disk 1" with DVD Rebuilder 0.16 + CCE 2.67.00.23 Trial+ECLCCE but the program crashed at the beginning of the rebuilding.
My second test was with DVD Rebuilder 0.21 + QuEnc 0.41 and this time after finished rebuilding segment 41 and in the log file appairs "Updating information in navpacks" the program crashes with this warning window: "Error in update ifo: shouldn't happen - contact developper".
The result was a 2,91 gb video_ts folder with all the menus and only 49' of movie (folder opened with Power Dvd 5).

4. What were the paths involved?

Thanks.

1. Rebuild

2. I mounted the ISO with DVD-Decryptor

3. Yes see 2

Actually after ripping the files to a folder and re-running the rebuild process and pointing to that folder as the source it ran fine. I just tested the disc and it appears to play back just like the original.

1. Disney's Dumbo / Pal / Version 0.21
2. CCE 2.67.0023 SP Full
3. Yes
4. Runtime error '9' subscript out of range during rebuilding phase at 60%

[Kakashi Sensei]

now that i have read what some people are doing i am 100% sure the Error:9 Subscript out of range is due to stripping the DVD before using DVD-RB. I have had 1 success and 1 failure. The one succes was the whole DVD of Angel Season 1 D1, The failure was a stripped copy of of Out of sight. I will try the whole DVD but i'm almost possitive that it will work.

Maybe I have been lucky but the 3 movies I have tried:

NTSC
Veronica Guerin
Cold Creek Manor
Pirates of the Caribbean

I have used DVDShrink 3.0 Beta 5 to remove everything but the main movie and 2 audio streams. Each back-up has worked fine except for the known issues with FF/RW.

DVDShrink 3.0 Beta 5
DBD-RB V0.17, V0.18, v0.21 (1 click mode)
CCE-SP 2.50
EclCCE
Image Tool Classic
DVD Decrypter to burn

....so much for 1 click....

[Edit]: I have never encountered the "Error:9".

[Kakashi Sensei]

thats b/c dvd shrink doesnt remove any thing. It just still frames the extras and leave the structure still fully intact. The people that stripped it, either removed the vobs completely and deleted/disabled the buttons going to those locations.

Well that may be so i your case but i did this with a original dvd. and i still get the run-time error 9

[Kakashi Sensei]

did you do it straight from the DVD or decrypt it with DVD Decryptor?

[JvD]

Like I said before (and PM:ed jdobbs), I get the runtime error 9 on both stripped and non-stripped movie (Breakfast at Tiffanys). Decryptet in filemode (dvddecrypter) to hdd and then stripped out the extras.

[NobbyNobbs]

The runtime error 9 seem to be most common during rebuilding of the DVD, when the program encounters a PGC containing stills.
jdobbs is working on it.

[Raymongo]

Originally posted by Kakashi Sensei

It first decrypted it with dvd decrypter in file mode.

But i also tried it using ReJig and again during rebuilding the error occoured.

@NobbyNobbs
Its true thats disney's Dumbo has a photogalerie. This is found in VTS 3 and VTS 3 is fully rebuild. It stopped rebuilding after VTS 4 and i don't know if VTS 4 has stills in it.

[petesafool]

Hi -

1. DVD-RB Version: 0.21
2. Encoder being used: CCE 2.66.01.07
3. Using eclCCE? Y

I've experienced a lot of the bugs others have had upto version 1.6 after which DVD-RB has worked sweet.

My only failure since has been PIRATES OF THE CARIBEAN/R2/PAL/disc 1 (i notice someone has already done this succesfully). It plays perfectly under PowerDVD5. Falls over in the LAST 5 MIN on my cheapo Venturer standalone and skips from the start in my usually perfect Yamaha.

I think there is a still frame used for the intro to the trailer for Bruce Almighty which relates to the ff/rw errors already mentioned.

If anyones interested I also tried this with and without the DVD-ROM extras which i accomodated by editing the master ECL file bitrate in 3 STEP mode.

[joaoccc]

Hello


I'm trying to make a backup of Pirates of the carabien R2/PAL.
In the computer all are ok, but in my Philips, it apears the first menu, then goes to the small video of digital mastered, the go to first menu, and continues like this. in my Pioneer it apears the first menu, go to the Legal Warnings and the stops.

I'm using rb .021 with eclcce with ce 2.67.023

Tried to backup The Gladiator....
Passed it from DVDStripper to remove only the warnings.
Passed it from DVDshrink just to remove Dolby digital.
Passed it from DVDrebuilder and...chaos.
Shows only director's comments as language (but it plays DTS), gives navigation errors, etc.

Tried to pass it from DVD2one to correct errors if possible but..."cannot find VIDEO_TS.ifo"...

Any help?

:confused: Yes. Too much passing. If you could just take the original and use DVD Rebuilder on it... I can't identify bugs that may be generated by other software.

[Pedro Gouveia]

jdobbs. I found the bug related to audio problems (no audio) in some dvd players like Pioneer dv360 and in Media Player Classic. It's because the Pes HeaderData in AC3-Audio Packs information is not correctly written. It should start with byte 21h and not with byte 31h. After a hexstring replace in VOBS of "EC 81 81 08 31" by "EC 81 81 08 21" AND "EC 81 80 05 31" by "EC 81 80 05 21" all sound problems were gone. BTW Excelent work u made with DVD-RB. Thanx.

[Pedro Gouveia]

I just did open each VOB_XX_[1-9].VOB in UltraEdit and made the hexstring replace.

"EC 81 81 08 31" -> "EC 81 81 08 21"
and
"EC 81 80 05 31" -> "EC 81 80 05 21"

That will change the Pes HeaderData in AC3-Audio Packs to the correct values.

I've notice that ifoedit, PowerDVD, DVD Shrink, Nero Recode, don't need the correct values for playing audio. But Media Player Classic and my DVD player (Pioneer DV360) only play audio with the correct values.

RB Version used 0.22 beta

[Pedro Gouveia]

Another possible bug??

Using CCE SP 2.67.00.23 Trial + EclCCE 1.7b + RB 0.22 the number of VBR passes is always 2 (The CCE Customized Settings doesn't work).

update:
Temporary fix. Before Encoding Process, edit REBUILDER.ECL end change lines containing vbr_pass=?

[hypo20]

Can you post me UltraEdit??? Can't find it. :o) PM me if yes. :o)

I just did a CCE project and the video skipping problem at the beginning of each chapter is there even when using CCE. So its not just limited to Rejig.

I'll look at it when I get home. But I don't see how it happens. I don't even modify the AC3 stream except to change the PTS and/or SCR...

[oCe]

Well, I've rebuild Basic again, with version 0.22 now. The files where build with version 0.21; but both the audio not playing at pioneer standalone and the stopping at still frame problems remain. Will redo the entire project now, from scratch with version 0.22. Will post results later, somewhere tomorrow probably. (work...) :)

[acido]

@jdobbs,DMagic1

Same here
my major problem is chapter skipping either selecting chapters from menus or by NEXT button on the standalone this affects rejig and CCE encodes.
Once inserted play starts in different points compared with results with PowerDVD 5 on the pc. For example on the PC the movie starts from the menus (correct) instead on the standalone it starts from the DOLBY logo without sound, then after some time menus comes out.
Another thing i can confirm is that VIDEO_TS contents created by DVD-RB cannot be used as input for dvdshrink or clonedvd, errors on vobs are reported by both programs.

I did a full re-encode with CCE using 0.22 and still no audio on my Pioneer DV-260. However I do have audio in my Toshiba SD-3750 so there's something going on that is causing problems with certain players. Strange artifacts are visible on the Pioneer when I advance chapters. These are not visible on the Toshiba.

@jdobbs: This would explain why you don't notice it. Your player(s) obviously are not affected.

Well, I disagree with you on this. I have no problems what so ever at all with my Pioneer DV-360. The original movie plays fine, without problems. The copy's made with Nero Recode 1 and 2, DVD-Shrink, InstantCopy, Ifoedit (manual movie extraction) etc play perfectly, without problems. Just Rebuilder is causing problems at the moment, not only with audio, but with still-images too. On my Philips 625 it plays fine though, have to admin that; but that doesn't necessarily mean the Pioneer is worse. Maybe it's even better, in obeying standards perhaps. But well, that's totally offtopic now.

@jdobbs: i'm being stubborn and still trying the full rebuild, maybe it helps for one of the problems at least ;) Otherwise, I'm always willing to help test.

I have a Pioneer and a Toshiba. They are different models than what quantum has. Audio works on both. The chapter problem doesn't affect the Toshiba but it does affect my Pioneer, my Sony, my XBOX, and my PS2. The Toshiba is the oldest of all the DVD players I have.

Hi,

I have a little problem. All has been encoded and rebuilded correctly but I can't burn the files. I can't even open the files in DVD Shrink. Here is the message DVD Shrink is giving : Invalid data in file "S:\RB\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.VOB" Overlapped I/O operation is in progress. Thx to help me to correct this annoying problem.

Dude! You are right. How in the hell did you find this? As I said earlier I am inserting a new PTS. The 21h you mentioned is the high order byte of the PTS. The second lsb of the upper nibble (the difference between 2 and 3) is an indicator of a DTS (Decoding Time Stamp) accompanying the PTS (Presentation Time Stamp). I forgot to adjust for this in audio frames.

I used to have the eclpasses= setting in the [Options] area, but now have a new area called [CCEOptions] -- if you look at that one you'll see that it changes. It should also be reflected in the .ECL file (actually the ECL will show eclpasses minus 1).

Thanks again for your help

Trying to back up the movie "Holes". The main dvd is about 7.12gb.

I got the script out of range error using v0.21 beta with cce sp 2.66 trial version using eclcce. I dont know why but dvd2dvdr has never been able to work with this cce version either. This cce version will encode perfectly using just an avisynth script.

I tried to use CCE sp2.5 with eclcce and everything went good. The problem is that the whole video ts folder is only 2.33gb. I know this is probably a complicated dvd to back up because it has some previews and extras in it but bug reported.

[sidders]

Don't know if its me, but does DVD-RB always come up with the same bitrate for extars and the main movie? It's not so easy to change the in CCE as you now have loads of files to encode. Any way to get around this?
Sorry if I've missed something here.....

@jdobbs :

I thought you were right so i ripped Gladiator again, and Won the prize No 9 ehhh... error Number 9 i ment.
So i tried to use Version 018, the same...

But i'll keep on trying with every new version you publish, I'm used to be beta tester...

Anyway thank you for your work...I'll be here to feed you with bugs

[cptshamrock]

I have the same problem when trying to burn as djan does, with shrink, and oce, with nero burning. Also, get the same error message when trying to run it through dvdshrink (Do this to possibly correct any dvd structure errors that is preventing Nero from burning). using rb .22 cce 2.66 ecl 1.7b and latest version of nero.

[jdobbs]

Attached is the latest beta, version 0.23 which includes the audio bug fix:


- Corrected PTS problem associated with PES headers in audio packs. My hat is off to Pedro Gouveia for finding this error. He not only pointed out the problem -- but pointed to the solution. This should fix the problems with audio not playing on certain systems.

See the biiiiig original forum for DVD-BR. There's the solution. :o)

In fact, you must run every VTS_XX_0.IFO through IfoEdit -> VOB Extras -> Check CORRECT VOB NAV PACKS -> Check CORRECT ORIGINAL IFO'S -> Uncheck AUTOCOPY MENUS and then just run. Everything other you should leave as it is.

You should try comparing the old vobs and new vobs and see how many differences there are.

I may do that when this movie finishes and see for myself.

0.23 audio is working on Pioneer standalone.

Now looking closer at the chapter problem. On every chapter change there is pixelation and jerkiness that goes away in a second or two. This happens if the chapter point is jumped to or if it reaches the chapter point by normal time.

This didn't appear to happen on the Toshiba standalone so this looks like another bit of weirdness that needs to be tracked down and fixed.

I've noticed on my Sony DVP-NS725P that I do not get the blocking and pixelation when playing through chapter changes, only when FF/RW through them. Weird. I haven't had any problems with the audio either.

run regedit and search for

It also solved the FFWD/RWD problem, in my case, as discribed is other posts.

It REALLY WORKS ! now the DVD on my standalone plays flawlessly !

Hope this helps jdobbs finding the problem ! I'm close to fixing this. It appears I have incorrectly calculated the first, second, and third reference frame end blocks. These are used for fast playing.

Isn't that the part "every VTS_XX_0.IFO through IfoEdit -> VOB Extras -> Check CORRECT VOB NAV PACKS -> Check CORRECT ORIGINAL IFO'S -> Uncheck AUTOCOPY MENUS and then just run. Everything other you should leave as it is." exact copy of my post on the same page???

I think....YES!!!!! I was writing about it few times, and somebody before me too. :cool:

@jdobbs
Now it seems, we have only one major problem. Stills. :)

[robw]

Well JDobbs, you're the programmer and I bow to your wishes on DVD-RB. But just a humble second to Quantum's request on bitrates for extras. That would be more useful for the "typical" user IMHO. If you decide to address seamless branching, I'll still be a very happy camper.

This is not about crediting me or someone else. But when someone just copy and paste someone else's post (or it's main part) and then publish it as his own....that's what I'm not accepting. I didn't said, that correcting VOB NAV PACKS was mine idea. It in some post on the early stage of forum (when v0.16 was released). I have only tested it and post here, that works. :) All I am doing is telling it to next people, which hasn't read it. But I'm not telling "I SOLVED THE PROBLEM!!!".

But this is off-topic. :) Let's test new version of YOUR baby. :D

Right now I'm fixing the ff/rw bug, I know exactly what it is -- but it's late and I'm getting punch drunk so I'm going to leave the correction until tomorrow. Next I'll clean up the stills (which I believe are also the cause of the runtime '9' error during rebuild).

All I had to do was run IFOEdit against my output, compare it to a first run with a file compare -- and it pointed me directly to the error. I'm just happy to be putting this one behind me.

[bigskank]

any thoughts about possibly adding support (at some point down the road, as I know requests are piling) of adding support for re-encoding menus?

[2COOL]

@jdobbs

I also have been getting the Runtime error '9', Subscript out of range message. What gets to me is that it always occurs when it processes my VTS_01_1.VOB during rebuild and it doesn't have any stills in it. Interesting, I discovered something that might be a hint.

After I had closed DVD-RB, I played my partial VTS_01_1.VOB in PowerDVD and behold, I got this message in bright red fonts with a black background.

Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source"
(D:/D2AVS/V01000000001001.AVS, line 5)

:confused: Does anyone see what I see?

Update: I get the same exact message with I open V01000000001001.AVS in VirtualDub. ;) This what I have in the AVS.

#------------------
# AVS File Created by DVD Rebuilder
# VOBID:01, CELLID:01
#------------------
mpeg2source("D:\D2VAVS\V01B.D2V")
trim(0,16336)
ConvertToYUY2()
ResampleAudio(44100)

I'm using DVD-RB v0.23 beta. ;)

[djan]

Same as I had before. You know how I corrected my problem ? I just installed AviSynth 2.54. Try it, maybe you can correct it too. Hope chance.

[SLA]

It should work fine, if the mpeg2dec3 plugin is installed correctly. For some reasons it doesn't work properly in many cases. A workaround would be to add Loadplugin("*pathwithpluginname*") to the top of your .avs

[2COOL]

Update:

OK. It is confirmed that I am using AviSynth 2.54 and DVD2AVIdg. I downloaded both from Doom9 links. Anyways, I was working backwards and analyzing some files prior to Rebuild process. Inspecting the D2Vs files, I found them to be fine because I saw what needed to be seen. But, when I viewed the M2Vs, all I got was the same as my post VTS_01_1.VOB, which was the message

Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source"
(D:/D2AVS/V01000000001001.AVS, line 5)

It seems something went wrong in the Encode process. With further investigation, I noticed that I didn't have any D2V extensions in my File Types so I added that and pointed to my "DVD2AVIdg.exe" in my AviSynth plugin directory. After starting from scratch, I viewed my first M2V file and I now have my video clip in question. :D

Don't know if this was the big fix by adding the D2V extension and association but will test again when I have deleted the D2V extension in File Types.

[robgarib]

I have encoded 2 dvd with Dvd Rebuilder.
In both cases i don't have any error during the process and the result is a video_ts folder of 4.30 gb with very good quality.
When i test the files on hard disk with power dvd everything is ok but when i burn them on a dvd+rw for testing on a dvd case (philips dvd 612) i don't hear any audio in any language.

These are my settings:

Dvd 1:
Ocean Eleven pal italian-english

[KungFuCow]

Im running a test now to confirm this but I wanted to toss it out there now just in case before JDobbs checks this in the morning.

I believe that using the "Remove All DTS" option screws up DVD-RB's target sizing. Ive done the same DVD over and over (and over) testing this app and the size has always been spot on. Tonight I tried it with the "Remove All DTS" option ticked and the DVD came out about 800MB too small (And no, the DVD should have still been full sized even without the DTS streams) so I wanted to report on this so JDobbs could check it out.

Anyone else notice this?

[robgarib]

Sorry
i have posted the bug report without viewing before the last pages of the thead where the audio problem is solved with version 0.23.
I'll download it immediately.
Thanks Jdobbs for your beautiful program.

[JvD]

KungFuCow, I noticed the same thing. Didnt really think of it but I say that the produced sets of DVD files was smaller than 4.37, like 1gb or so. This on a movie with five audio tracks. I removed all but one. So I THINK you might have a point.

I tried the new version (0,23) during the night, recoding Reservoir Dogs (Complet, not stripped). I didnt touch anything. Ripped the files and fired DVD-RB away. Went to sleep and woke up to my usual Runtime 9 error. Happy? No! I allways thought that the problem was in the app BUT now I wonder. I cant do anything right now but Ill report back later. Ill try reinstall Avisynth 2.54 and look foth the .avs extension mentioned by 2COOL.

[Pedro Gouveia]

jdobbs thanx 4 the quick fix :)

moving on on bug report. new version 0.23 rebuilds ok... but VTS_XX_0.IFO differs from VTS_XX_0.BUP

In *.BUP
- menu attributes changes
- In VTSI_MAT audio attributes changes, sub-pic_X changes

A Quick fix 4 this is to open all *.IFO in ifoedit and save overwriting *.BUP or use the dos command COPY *.IFO *.BUP
in directory VIDEO_TS just created by RB

Hi
Thank you very much for your work...
I installed dvdrb and tried to work but after the first scanning and writing. D2V files it stop with this message: "Erreur d'execution '9': indice en dehors de la plage"

Do you understand ???
My computer is with XP professionnal in French is it important ???

Thanks for your work

Downloaded version 0.23 and still getting the same problem as below, anyone have any idea what it could be.
This is from a homemade 2 Disc DVD-R of a concert that I want to convert to 1 DVD-R with menu.
I extracted both discs renamed the VOB's and used VOBedit to join clips. I then used IFOedit and did the "Get VTS Sectors"

I know this worked because I used Intervideo DVD Copy and it worked and saved the menu's etc...

Any ideas or suggestions why I am getting the "Error in UpdateIFO: Shouldn't happen - contact developer" - seems to happen when it is in the updating ifo, stage if that makes sense.

Thanks.

[petesafool]

Don't know if it will help anyone but...

Early on when using v0.15 i was getting a lot of hangs and errors from CCE & DVD-RB (as well as those damn multiple .ecl windows :). Anyway I noticed my Norton Antivirus 2004 (SystemWorks installation) was waiting for a scan of my DVD files. Turning it off before running DVD-RB got rid of the problem.

I mention it because because Norton also seems to screw up other things on my system unless it's turned off:

* VOB InstantDisc v6.5, it crashes and restarts the PC every time I burn a DVD - although the DVD is burned properly so it's not too bad.
* Sometimes takes explorer multiple attempts at copying and pasting data files from a CD/DVD while Norton 'requests' scans.

@hypo20
Could I have a little clarification on 'Everything other you should leave as it is' in the IFOedit fix please. That means leave 'strip streams checked'? As my DVD-RB'd Pirates of the Caribean still lists the multiple audios and IFOedit unchecks them. Am I just running this to correct the IFO/BUPs?

[gvittoz]

Thank you for the answer
I tried but it's not that
I'm just sorry I don't speak english very well

Jdobbs! Hi again. After analysing a VOB created by RB and the same VOB corrected by ifo edit, there seem to be an error on some of the navigation packs.
The "offset to audio packet for audio stream X" is pointing to the "right AC3-Audio Pack"+1.

In my case the first wrong Nav Pack was the second one in the VOB

Hope this helps

[brikin]

I know everyone is getting the 9 error but has anyone got the 5 error?

DVD Rebuilder v0.23
QuEnc 0.43

Problem:
When I press Rebuild I get a "Run Time error '5' Invalid procedure call or argument error" that closes the program down.

I see the progress bar go up for VTS_01_00.VOB to 100% then it flips to VTS_03_01.VOB really quick and throws this error. This all happens within 3 seconds of pushing the button. In the status window I see

Copying IFO, BUP, and menu files...
Processing VTS_01

Let me know if you need anything else.

[redfive19]

My only bug so far with the app is the interlaced problem we've discussed in the other monster thread. Seems like whenever I encode a DVD, I get a jagged picture (but not as bad as if I had an interlaced still). People's arms look like they are almost shadowed or have trails. This happened when encoding two interlaced DVD's. The source is TFF and the final product is as well. I did not experience such a problem with a progressive frame DVD.

RB .021 (trying .23 now)
CCE 2.67.00.23 (trying 2.50 now)

Otherwise, this app is tremendous. I'd be willing to pay another $30 for it once it's final (I already donated $10!). This is exactly what I've been waiting for! It worked on my Total Training For Adobe After Effects 6 DVD that the BIG3 couldn't get right and that looks like crap when I run it out of DVDShrink (it's nearly 7.5 gigs). Once this interlacing issue gets worked out, I am going to backup all of my Total Training DVD's since they were super expensive and a big investment.

thank you jdobbs, you're a DVD GOD!
-redfive

p.s. - I don't know if it's legal or not, but I will send you (through snail mail) the dvd I backed up so you can see the issues I've run into. It's sort of hard to explain here and I can't take a screenshot of it since the problem only exists on a TV.

Sorry, my mistake. In thet section, where REBUILD NAV-PACKS and so on...leave everything unchecked except these two things I wrote. On the right side of the screen, it's up to you if you want to remove USER PRHIBITED OPERATIONS and so on, so this is up to you. :)

Is the final DVD size target determined before you deselect audio streams?

It seems to me, that whenever I drop an audio stream via unchecking it on the DVD-RB menu, the DVD is undersized by the amount of the audio streams....

Anyway, thanks for this great proggie.. It just keeps getting better. With ReJig it's extremely easy to use.

[jdobbs]

Originally posted by broken_bricks

Thanks. Are you doing any preprocessing of the files. The only way I can imagine this happening is if you've removed one or more cells from the .VOB and the .IFO wasn't properly updated. There are lots of utilities that could cause this...

[jdobbs]

No. The reduced audio is included in the calculation (the space is reallocated to the video portion). Please note, though, that the output is calculated to fall 160MB short to make room for possible sizing (bitrate) inaccuracies.

Hmm.. something is defintely broken with size prediction in the latest version. Redid Lost In Translation, left in all audio tracks (including DTS) BUT I removed the French audio track and the DVD is undersized now by 400ish meg. This has never happened until version 23.

[DMagic1]

That temporary fix from IFOEdit that everyone has been talking about. Does that fix something in the ifo files alone, or does it fix something in the vobs as well?

Hello this is a great program. I have tried it with the cinema encoder v. 2.67, but it does not work only with the 2.50 version it works. Have anyone experienced problems with the new encoder version too ? sorry for my english

:)

What problems??? It's important. I have no problems with 2.67.0.23 from version 0.16.

[oCe]

Well, did Basic all over again, with version 0.23 this time. Plays fine on the Philips as usual and YES audio on the Pioneer! It plays the first title (movie-company logo, movie) and YES the second title (still image, age-rating) and even the third title (copyright warnings, movie) but then it stops, on the Pioneer. Player says 'stop' again and well, that's it. On the Philips it plays, the fourth title is an interlaced mpeg, which always stuttered with previous versions. Though, it plays smooth now, is interlaced encoding/detecting inserted in someway as of 0.22 or 0.23, or am I going mental?

-edit-

Seems I'm going mental ;) No seriously, in previous versions the Underworld-trailer (4th title) got recoded, now it just got copied; size is exactly the same. (vts_04_1.vob in this case) That explains, it's an feature as of 0.22 I see:

- Implemented a size limit on VTSs to be processed. Now very small VTSs that
have virtually no data involved are simply copied as-is and are not processed.
This eliminates unnecessary recoding and some possible gotchas.

Any change this might be an option? So it could be turned of, makes the interlaced testing (since mostly only trailers and extra's are interlaced, in PAL-area's where I live) a lot easier.

Anyway, thanks for these two great progs.

[JvD]

Yes, this has been discussed back and forth with different suggestion, BUT my qustion is, WHAT IS RUNTIME ERROR 9? Why does it occur? Do anybody REALLY know this OR do we only have theories? I tried my third title withou any luck (non-stripped). Done all those suggestion you can find in the thread? Did I miss something OR is this question still unanswered? SO? Is it the title or the setup (software) or something else? Or is it just ME? :-)

The screen does not pop up in the encoder, it does not start to encode only with the 2.50 version are running it right now and there are no problems. Is it beacuse i use a trial version of the 2.67 or can you help me :confused:

Just keep the D2AVS folder in work directory, switch DVD-RB to 3-step mode and do 3rd step with the same settings as the work dir was created. I don't need to be reencoded again. :o)

OK, thanks! An answer to the EASY question ;-) That solution I do know, I dont know really what I was thinking on. I thougt like it would be nice to try new versions out with the one-click-way to see if it all works fine, a complete set of files with menu and stuf but at tiny movie on say 5 min. and the possibility to complress it, say 70%. Just to try the app out. But OK, ill keep me next recoded files to try new versions out. Thanks for the reminder.

STILL! My Big question stands unanswered. ORR?

Yeas, I DO fancy JDOBBS work alot AND I do think he will solve the problem. BUT my qustion was: DO WE REALLY KNOW ITS A QUESTION OF STILLS? Since I tried some different movies I thought I tested movies without stills without success. But then again, maybe I didnt look enough for those stills.

@jdobbs

Do you think checking the box "ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)" would help out my interlacing problem? I am using AviSynth 2.54 so I believe that command would work (at least from what I read in the CCE FAQ). CCE 2.50 Crashed too much on my machine. I am going back to using 2.67.00.23 and will try this command.

@hifreak

Make sure that your ECL-CCE's ini file is pointed to the correct version of CCE you want to use. I have both 2.50 and 2.66 on my system, and have to change the ini file for CCE whenever I want to use one or the other. To change the ECL-CCE ini file settings, open ECL-CCE.exe and point it to the CCE executable that you want to use.

Then, after you have changed the INI file for ECL-CCE, open rebuilder, select the version of CCE you are using under "Options -> CCE Options" (in this case 2.67), and then go to Options -> Settings and point your path for the "CCE SP (new)" to your ECL.exe file. I was having this very same problem with my trial version of 2.66 (the encoder wouldn't pop up). It's because none of the trial versions of CCE support command line processing, which is why you have to use ECL-CCE.

@hypo20
Thanx for the reply - i pretty much guessed that was it. however...

Still get mixed results on Pirates of the Caribbean D1. Using v0.23 plays perfectly on the cheapo Venturer, even plays the Disney title without skipping on my Yamaha but then the Bruce Almighty still kicks in; pauses, ignores the rest of the trailer, more pauses, then into the menu ok. However it then misses the credits and the 1st 3 or four minutes of the film (where they pick up the young Turner adrift at sea). Can't get that portion of the film using chapter selection either, nor by rewinding.

So I would say that whatever the problem is it's down to how individual players handle (or don't as the case may be) the DVD specs.

Yes, it was preprocessed by DVDstripper, but in the processed VOBS the Prohibited U-OP are all 00 00 00 00 as the original (LOTR_TT_SEE Disk4).

I've been setting that value to 01 C0 40 10. I guess it would make more sense to set it to no restrictions since I'm putting a constant value in anyway.

All,

Just so you know, I've made the fixes to the NAVPACKS and it works -- no difference when compared to the IFOEDIT fixed file. Good. But after some comments from some testers asking about audio sizing, I've also noticed that the resizing of the files has changed. Instead of 4.3GB output I'm getting 3.98GB... it started in either v0.22 or v0.23 and appears to be related to the size limit on VTSs to be processed that I added to v0.22. I'm trying to find it before posting. If not, I will post as-is and fix it in the next version.

[theuser86]

@jdobbs

1. DVD-RB Version: DVD-RB v0.23
2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.67.00.23 (trial)
3. Using eclCCE? Y - eclCCE v1.7b
4. Bugs encountered:

1st (minor) bug: When viewing on standalone (Toshiba SD-3800), skipping chapters does not seem to work properly, attempting to go from chapter 1 to 2 actually has dvd going from 1 to 3. I can go backwards in chapters from 3 to 2, but in attempting to go from 1 to 2, the dvd actually goes to chapter 3. DVD being used: Out of Time SE (NTSC R1).

2nd bug encoutered: The DVD I am compressing is Out of Time Special Edition. The DVD is interlaced (checked with DVD2AVIdg), thus I used the "ConvertToYUV2(interlaced=true)" option in the AVS section of the Options menu. (And yes, ForceFilm is not enabled) However when playing in PowerDVD the horizontal interlaced lines appear. When applying the deinterlace filter that comes with PowerDVD the video looks okay but kind of jumpy. When playing the burned DVD in my standalone the video is VERY jumpy.

I am wondering what is the exact problem of this? The original is interlaced and plans fine in PowerDVD and my standalone.

I am sure it has something to do with the avs/cce settings and the fact that the orig video is interlaced.

Other than that, Thank You for a great program, its a real time-saver than having to do everything manually when using CCE.

[VampHuntD]

Hey JDobbs

I'm using version .23 of DVD-RB and I keep getting Error number 52.

It says Runtime Error 52
Bad filename or number

This happens when I click on prepare or in 1 click mode. Any ideas?

[Pedro Gouveia]

I only have interlaced material and i don't have any of these interlaced problems.

[theuser86]

@Pedro

What settings do you use with DVD-RB and your interlaced material? DVD-RB version, CCE version, eclCCE version, Options in DVD-RB, etc.

Just a question: You are 100% sure that the material you are dealing with is truly interlaced right? Some ppl mistake all DVDs they see the horizontal lines in as truly interlaced which is not true. Many NTSC DVDs appear to be interlaced but if ForceFilm is enabled then the progressive frames can be recovered.

Thanks.

[Pedro Gouveia]

I live in Europe and almost every DVD's in Europe (except some Music DVD's) are interlaced. (Correct me if i'm wrong)
Same versions of yours.

You're most likely encoding with the wrong field order, in order to fix this, turn off DVD-RB's one click mode, and after you finish the "Prepare" stage, open the ECL file it creates with notepad. Look for one of these lines: "offset_line=" or "top_first=" (it will be one of them, I can't remember what v2.67 uses), change the value to the opposite of what it is now, and save the file. Then, go back to DVD-RB, and continue with encoding/rebuilding.

[jdobbs]

I've posted tonight's update to DVD-RB (v0.24) the changes are listed below:

- Corrected a major problem that caused pixelation when switching between chapters and when FF/REW went over chapter boundaries.

- Corrected a sizing inconsistency that was always present but was revealed in by the implementation of VTS processing size limits (in v0.22).

- User restrictions (in the VOB files) are now set to 0x00000000 (no prohibited operations). Please note that U-OPs are not being modified in the IFO files.

- Fixed two variable initialization errors that were the root of several small NAVPACK video reference errors (associated with NAVPACK headers). These could only be seen when performing more than one Rebuild in a session.

- Added ability to adjust target DVD size. I've purposely not made this easily available so I don't get complaints of 4 hour recodes that don't fit. To use, just add TargetSectors=nnnn under the [Options] section of the REBUILDER.INI file. As a reference the default for DVD-RB is 2236400 and the maximum for a DVD-5 is 2297888. But remember there always should be a little room left for margin of error.

Hi JDobbs

testing 0.24 tonight. I am setting up the batch mode by first saving individual project files. I save individual projects with only one of several possible English audio tracks checked. If I reload the project, all the English language audio tracks are still checked. Apparently the project file is not saving the updated audio tracks that I want and is simply defaulting back to the option to use all English laguage audio tracks.

[DMagic1]

The pixelation at the start of each chapter is still there. I did the full process and still get that.

When I suggested you to change the "offset_line=" / "top_first=" lines (in the ECL), you did change them for every single AVS file right (or at least for the main movie VTS set)?

Needless to say -- I'm a little disappointed with at least two of the fixes that went in last night. I had high hopes. Oh well, that was about 6 hours down the tube... This error was related to my attempt to "remove" VTSs from the processing queue (v0.22) that were too small to make a difference. Somehow, it seems, that screwed up my size calculation.

I personally think this started on the version where you changed the audio pointer stuff but I could be wrong.

Uhm, I wouldn't trust IFOEdit output too much... At least for me, every VOB sequence I have run through IFOEdit then had seeking problems in software players. FF/RW works fine, but dragging the timeline slider always kicks back to the menu, i.e. doesn't work.

That would be the TMAPTI table -- I'm confident that I have that one down (along with the rest of the IFO). But when I read the comments yesterday I saw several who said that correcting their VOBs through IFOEdit made all pixelation and chapter problems go away. It then led me to a problem I had with computing reference-end-blocks and a couple of other NAVPACK issues. Those are fixed now, and my test last night showed no difference between my output and one corrected by IFOEdit... so now I'm at a loss. My problem is that these play fine on my 3 players and on my computer (but so did the previous sets) -- so I can't really test them.

Now that DVD-RB 0.24 is out,
this evening i will try again and confirm if you fixed the CHAPTERS SKIPPING problem (at least from the movie i have ripped on my hd) .
