Money for DVD-RB [Archive]

I have never donated any money to a software project in my life. I never thought any of them really deserved it. But I think if I was ever gonna do it, it would have to be right now. This is by far, the best program out there today and its only in beta. I have had nothing but fantastic results so far. Please tell me where to send you some cash. YOU DESERVE IT

To everyone else out there. PAY THIS MAN. This is what free programs are all about. Let him know you all care.

Sorry for the caps. It was a must.

Sorry for the caps. It was a must. You are too kind. I'll feel better about the program once I get it stabilized and released as version 1.0. It'll happen.

Ditto to that. I've never given a damn nickel before this. We're all broke, but c'mon guys. Dust off those paypal accounts and see if you can cough up at least 5 or 10 bucks and pay jdobbs for all the effort he's putting into this. I've gladly sacrificed my 6-pk of PBR for the week to donate what little I could, and I think anyone who's using this should do the same.

I love Jdobb's baby, but I think a lot of other people have done great work here also. To say "noone else deserved it" is a bit of an insult. I don't want to sidetrack the discussion, because Jdobbs deserves a lot of props, but you don't have to bring down others to raise him up.

duuuuude, you couldn't have been in the scene for too long, if you never donated to a s/w project in your life :D. a little while ago, ifoedit was great -- i donated! dvd decrypter is great -- i donated! menuedit is great -- i donated! don't tell me you never heard of those programs that probably are hiding somewhere on your harddrive ;).

i have to admit that i didn't look into CCE/DVD-RB b/c it was just too complicated to use. alright, i was too lazy to get into this. but it seems like every1 is raving about DVD-RB, so i'll give it a try once i find some time ;). right now, i'm experimenting with rejig. heck, if DVD-RB is good then this man deserves some incentive to continue with his project -- period!

I did have those programs. Just never had the money to be donating to all those people. I am just saying that this prog is to good not to donate to. Even with what little money I have

Wow, sacrificing a 6pk of PBR, now that's dedication.

I haven't used the program yet, but if people are willing to give up that up, its gotta be damn hot!

hmmm, getting thirsty, can't pass that one up

@jdobbs:
MAN, this program has MUCHO POTENTIAL!!! :eek:

jdobbs, i just donated $10 bucks and hope you'll perfection DVD-RB. don't desert us (like derrow did with his ifoedit program ;) ).

DA

ps: can't get "quenc" to run with DVD-RB, but that might have been addressed in a different thread. integration of rejig works flawlessly and is just freakin' FAAAAAAAAAAAAST!

NobbyNobbs

27th March 2004, 22:40

Acusing Derrow of deserting us, with IfoEdit, seems to me to be a bit harsh, the program is free, (as in free beer, not free code.)
It is up to us if we want to use it or not, and personally I use it a lot.
In my opinion a programmer making freeware, has no obligation to me, I might feel obligated to use Pay Pal, and donate something to him, if I use the program a lot, but I can´t rightly see how he has any obligation to me.
(If somebody buys me a beer, I might feel obligated to return the favor, but fail to see that he owes me another beer, just because he bought me one.)

@nobbynobbs:
well for me, it's not about freebies or donations -- and it was never meant to be an accusation! when you "hang out" with ppl that are more or less familiar to you and they leave "just like that" then i personally feel deserted -- more of a "left-behind" feeling. :( derrow was a nice guy that you could talk to (especially in german ;) ) and he contributed a lot to the dvd community. maybe you understand now what i mean...

@jdobbs:
hey, thanks for stopping by ;) . i'm sure this is not the right place to post problems, but maybe you could guide me into the right direction (possibly with a link to a thread). i just finished reading the humongous "DVD Rebuilder (CCE One-Click Beta) Bug Reports" thread! got cross-eyed and haven't even started with the other two threads yet!

anyway, if i opt for "quenc" as the encoder, the error message is

"AVS File is not outputing (Use ConvertToYV12() at end of script)". (HUH? i guess, it has somethin' to do with colors, but that's were my spanish ends :sly: )

since i just got into the AVS script thinggy, that'll be a hell lot of work for me to decypher that error message :confused: . so, what do you think? thanks in advance.

btw, i followed your instructions in your readme-file, but even cce 2.67 trial isn't working for me -- only rejig runs great (with some chapter problems that are already mentioned in the above thread ;) ).

DA

ps: just d/l version 0.25 :D

@DirtyAbdul"AVS File is not outputing (Use ConvertToYV12() at end of script)". (HUH? i guess, it has somethin' to do with colors, but that's were my spanish ends ) This is just one of those things... YV12 is a way to represent color -- it just so happens that QuEnc works in YV12 color space, so the AVISYNTH script (.AVS file) has to have that statement in it to make it compatible. If you choose QuEnc before you run the first phase (PREPARE) that statement will be automatically added.

ahh, "color space" sounds very professional (and familiar ;) ).

i still get the "YV12" problem, though. my steps:

1. clicked on "QuEnc Mode"
2. closed ReBuilder (just to make sure every parameter is reset on next start).
3. ran ReBuilder (and making sure "QuEnc" was still checked).
2. clicked on "Prepare" button
3. then "Encode" button -> that's when i receive the "YV12" error message.

i already read somewhere in the bug thread that you better not switch around between different modes (cce/rejig/quenc), but rather have RB "prepare" the dvd-files everytime you switch to a new encoding/transcoding mode.

do you have any suggestion? or does it imply that i have to edit EVERY single AVS file and add the "ConvertToYV12()" at the end of the script after the "prepare" process (a lot of work!)??? why then do i seem to be the only one with this problem :confused:

any help greatly appreciated. :D

DA

ps: and back to reading the other 2 threads :cool:
btw jdobbs, do you think i should rather post in the "bug report" thread -- ie., if this were really a bug :confused:

jdobbs

28th March 2004, 21:22

DirtyAbdul,

Maybe I've done something wrong since first implementing. I'll go back and look before posting v0.26...

oh no jdobbs, that's not what i meant and i neeeever felt that way :p . i'm a professional myself (that's why i need to change my nickname :D) and like it when correct terms are used. my remark was actually a word of admiration :D . i absolutely agree that everyone has to be precise and to the point in order to facilitate communication! just go ahead, share your knowledge and teach -- i'm all ears (or eyes ;) ).

can't wait until v0.26 comes out!

28th March 2004, 22:10

@DirtyAbdul

By the way. I went back and looked and did some encoding with QuEnc and the ConvertToYV12() command was being inserted in the .AVS files... not sure what was happening to you...

nwg

29th March 2004, 02:07

This should be in bugs thread shouldn't it?

Anyway, I had the same problem with ConvertToYV12.

I selected CCE in DVD RB and quitted.

I moved the QuEnc file into the same directory as DVD RB.

I changed the pathnames in the setup.

I then selected QuEnc and it worked when I started to encode.

It is probably just a fluke but, I also couldn't get Rejig to work (got run time error 9 on selecting process) unless the Rejig file was in the DVD RB directory.

ooooh my gosh :eek: !!! i think i did a faux-pas (a stupid newbie mistake) -- and this might also apply to you, nwg!

i just read a comment by beer-chan in the bug report thread: the rebuilder.txt clearly mentioned that

you must have a copy of MPEG2DEC3DG.DLL installed on your computer. At the Doom9 site, download DVD2AVI dg. It (at this writing) is contained in a ZIP file DECODEFIX100.ZIP. Open that zip and within you will find a file called MPEG2DEC3DG.DLL. Copy that file into a directory called "PlugIns" under the AVISYNTH directory (created in step 1). Putting it there could save you lots of possible headaches later!

RTFM, right? :D

i am so sorry i overlooked it! quenc is RIGHT NOW happily encoding without any complaints :rolleyes: with v0.26 :D .

thanks jdobbs for your input! nowadays, where the heck do you get 24h customer service for FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE like here??? :D

DA

ps: just to be on the safe side, i also went into "options/setup" and added/linked the "Path to MPEG2DEC" to the MPEG2Dec3dg.dll file.

nwg

29th March 2004, 06:22

My copy of MPEG2DEC3DG.DLL was in the right plugins directory.

I forgot about changing the pathname bit. I had to change the setup pathnames for Rejig and QuEnc.

jdobbs wrote,
Can you tell me the pathnames for the ones that failed and for you DVD-RB directory?

The DVD RB directory is c:\program files\DVD Rebuilder\Rebuilder.exe. Both Rejig and QuEnc are now in that directory as well.

Both Rejig and QuEnc were in a folder on the desktop called DVD. I have shortcuts to all my DVD software in there but for some reason I put the two exe files in there. The paths to the exe files were correct in the DVD RB setup.

Quenc worked in that folder up to 024 but with 025 it didn't work and I got that error message. It is also working with 026.

hey jdobbs just donated $50 for the prog- you deserve it- first time i've ever donated - thank you so much for this program- I've just done 4 very successful back ups including a very annoying goodfellas r2 (pal) flipper.

probably not the right place to ask this but the goodfellas flipper i was referring to is a pal 720x576 source, 4:3 adpect ratio but there are blackbars top and bottom so that the aspect ratio of the actual film is anamorhpic.

would it be possible for me to add the crop then resize commands in avisynth so that CCE only is encoding the actual movie and not the black bars? if so would the effort be worth it? (a lot of avs files to go through).

If so I assume i'd have to expand the original picture source to get it back up to 720x576 right? i've neevr expanded on a resize- will i be introducing a load of unwanted artifacts by doing this?

once again great work on this prog!

8th April 2004, 21:31

Good job nimbles! 50$ is the current record I think? ;)

Jdobbs was planning on widescreen-conversions for backup but I think while it's a nice feature for some, most dvd's luckily are true anamorphic where they should be so it would be a quite rarely used feature. You can always use your aspect button on the TV too.

I know only two DVD's that arent anamorphic due to poor mastering, and one of them is The Fift Element Special Edition R2 (a few years old DVD which is being re-released PROPERLY soon).

once again great work on this prog! If you look under AVS options you'll see that I have a disabled 4:3 to 16:9 resizing option. I've done a few of these in the past for the same reason -- I just like having 16:9. Actually it comes out pretty good as long as you use the right resizer -- when you are enlarging a picture I like LanczosResize() best. BicubicResize() is also good. Avoid Bilinear. Lanczos is what I planned to use when enabling the option. Here is the AVISYNTH command line that goes in the AVS files:

For PAL:
LanczosResize(720,576,0,72,720,432)

For NTSC:
LanczosResize(720,480,0,60,720,360)

I'll make sure I enable it in the next version -- as you are definitely one of my favorite people right now. The down side is that it will be applied against an entire VTS -- so there is a possiblity that you might get 4:3 extras that will have the top and bottom removed.

You also need to make a change in the associated IFO to make it 16:9 and if doing it the right way (but it will work without it on a DVD) it should have the aspect ratio changed in all the Sequence Headers. My code will do all that when enabled.

BTW -- the resize above will become anamorphic.

Are you going to make that a per-VTS setting in the next version, or the whole disc like Half-D1 is now?

nimbles

9th April 2004, 03:04

hey thanks for the tip jdobbs- but i guess this kind of thing happens in only a very few cases. I think in my collection of dvd's only goodfellas "suffers" from this phenomenon.

I guess what i'm trying to say is i don't think this as big a priority as other stuff you have on your to do list, so please don't "rejig" :D your "to do" list just for this- i did it "normally" and the picture quality was excellent anyway.

I'm gonna give this resizing a go now but i won't be disappointed if it doesn't work, put it that way

Anyway, I want to thank Master Jdobbs for the fantastic work he is doing with DVD-RB. It is in the stage of beta test but everyone may understand it is a milestone for everyone want to have HIGH QUALITY backups for their DVD titles.

I have to say also that apart the usage of the program, for people wanting to improve their knowledge in the encoding and authoring, DVD-RD represents a big opportunity to learn more in these fields and to extend their experience.

And now, just a final loud voice communication:

Come on gentlemen !!!
Spending few dollars you give a big support to the DVD-RB project !!!
So, people, please go on with the donations !!!

Now I only have to remind myself to donate something to Derrow next time I get paid, as IfoEdit probably still is the DVD backup program I use the most.

DvdRb is a very useful program but actually i can't still use it because the dvd stops on my Philips dvd 612.
Please try to fix this bug.
Thanks

Before the exit of dvd rebuilder i have used without problems Shink - IC8 - DCS - Clonedvd2.
I think that the problem with dvd rebuilder started in versions before 030 because i have found it at april 20th but i have not tried it before since april 2nd where all works well.
The dvd works well on the pc with power dvd 5 but on my philips dvd 612 it stops at the beginning of the first chapter and jump directly to the second chapter
I have tried with different movie and all has the same problem.
I have made some tests the last week with Kill Bill vol. 1 RC2 with dvdrb 045 - 041 - 039 - 037 - 031 - 023 and cce 2.67.00.23 trial + eccl 1.81 and version 045 with quenc 049. The only version where the dvd doesn't stop is 023.
I have posted on the dvd rebuilder forum of doom9.it
http://forum.doom9.it/viewforum.php?f=9
and i have seen that other people have the same problem with philips dvd case.

Hiya

Mr Jdobbs....interesting idea i read a few posts back......

HOW much would it cost to get my name on the menu ?? :-)

Ahh just joking. I have not used your program yet but its worth money for the entertainment value alone...i log on excitedly everyday three or four times a day to see whats been fixed/added and just to feel the excitement of being at a birth......of someting that will mark a milestone in our hobby.

One problem for me...i cant use paypal. Can you come up with a different method ? perhaps a post office box or something to send a money order ??

As i said i have not used RB yet but it really is worth something for the fun i get out of following all this...

Anyway enough people are singing your prasies , you dont need me to tell you what a great and fantastic thing you are doing .........and sharing it with the world......for free....its people like you who restore my faith in the human race.....(except for when you jumped on tota or whatever his name was ...but then you retracted that and apologized which shows us what your made of)

Even though you dont know me or ever heard of me its feels like your my buddy...i read your letters everyday ( awww getting all red eyed and teary now )

Anyway keep up the good work

Best Regards

Mark

I paid for DvdReMake & I always use it with Rebuilder so I've donated 10$, seems only fair ;)

I sent off $25 this morning :) . I'm very much looking forward to support for multiangle and seamless branching titles :D . While I'm at it, is there any kind of (rough) road map for DVD-RB?

from the menu, i would like to order DVD-RB with some sauteed "multiangle" garnished with "seamless branching," too! :D

at least, we are halfway through to v1.0 with the current v0.50 beta (if that's the way how jdobbs is counting :D). but isn't it amazing what this little program can do???

I've donated $20, because I think this kind of development should be encouraged!

jdobbs

24th May 2004, 23:47

Wow. I'm not sure what to think. After two weeks of almost nothing, I've gotten 4 donations in the last two days! Cool! Thanks eddevrs.

25th May 2004, 01:08

I sent a donation within the last 2 week. I hope you got it because I had to reopen my paypal account to send the donation. It was $10 from ..chav.

P.S. just checked my Bank, it looks like the donation was processed on 5/10, 2 weeks ago.

Thanks again for the great program

While wanting to make you aware I've sent $20 in appreciation for all your great work and effort, I am still very surprised...

I have been away just for a couple of weeks, [Ok want you to know I have been in holidays, in the beautiful Didyme isle, near to Sicily... :) I was quite sure indeed YOU were working hard, and so it was...] but what I see now ?
This thread was gone to page 6 !!!

Ok. Now it'll be back on page 1...

Hope it will stay on this place for long time...

Cheers

Boy, this thread tends to sink always back in the abysses of this forum...

Since I don't own acredit card, i can't use PayPal, so maybe jdobbs you could give me some other possibility...

I think you deserve some appreciation ( does this word exist ? funny language...)

Paypal works fine with a normal visa/whatever debitcard.
And no its not a creditcard, money gets drawn directly from the account the card is tied too. And with that said i gave $15. Not much but its a start. More will come as time goes by.

17th October 2004, 20:52

will those of us that have donated get some sort of notification that we are on the list to recieve the new betas?

jdobbs

17th October 2004, 20:55

You'll get it via e-mail on at least the upcoming version. One of the advantages of having such a small number of donators is that you don't have to come up with extraordinary measures for distributing like you would with a lot of volume. :D

17th October 2004, 21:17

Just like to say thanks for all the work you've done with DVD-RB. I've used it countless times with CCE to crunch films onto a DVD.

I donated on the 12/10 - $20.

Keep up the good work.

I donated 10$ for that nice email I found in my mailbox.
I usually never donate but this is the second time already, you know why?
Simple, because this little proggie KICKS ASS :D

@Whitespliff

Do you like the "looks" of it? :cool: :D

Whitespliff

18th October 2004, 02:12

Do you mean the new layout or the fact that people who donated now get a private update for yet another updated (and better) version ;)

Rockas

18th October 2004, 02:27

The layout... of course... have you seen the about window? :o

Just a note... the "new" version are not only for people that donated money... but also for people that donated much of their time as beta testers and helping the support and development of the software. Don't make it sound like jdobbs is a greedy guy, ok?

by the way... love your signature :)

Whitespliff

18th October 2004, 03:55

Hehe, I thought that much, nice disign :cool:
I reported a few bugs myself, does that make me a super VIP or something :D

18th October 2004, 04:28

Plain and simple, sat down and thought about this. Has anyone else made a way to easily implemented CCE into a program that does re-encodes DVDr's so quickly and effortlessly. NO! So get out you wallet and throw some cash in.

PS- I must apologize that it took me to your mentioning of a VIP release before I got my act into gear but hey better late than never. And to tell you, great job man, keep up the awesome work. (just found a little comment box in paypal I'll make sure I use it next time.)

Seems like I have to send in another donation, as I have changed my e-mail since the last time.:D

18th October 2004, 06:36

seems like the thing to do is post your contribution.....so here goes.

$10 is on the way to you jdobbs......

that might seem like nothing to some, but there is a significance!

I'm fairly certain I've NEVER paid for a SINGLE piece of software in my ENTIRE LIFE!!

you sir...truly deserve that donation, great work.

and now that I've given a lil bit....I can post to the forum and contribute, rather than just read everyone else's posts :)

18th October 2004, 13:33

just letting you know i made a donation of $20.00. i think you program is incredible and made life beautiful for people like me who couldn't get teh big 3 method to make ONE DVD!!

Thank you for keeping it free so far. you deserve alot more than we are donating, i just wish i had more money to give you.
also, sorry i havent posted since around the teens versions (lol). im not much of a talker, and most of my questions are already answered right away
