DVD Rebuilder (One-Click Beta) Bug Reports - v0.30+

[Oldeman]

DVD-RB .46
QuEnc .49

sync problems and audio dropouts (English 5.1 DD track) throughout movie. If you do chapter advance, they (audio+video) re-sync and fairly quicky get out of sync again. Others have reported similar problems I think.

I have not experienced this audio sync problem when using ReJig.

In earlier versions of DVD-RB, when using QuEnc, I had stutter problems with the video. These appear to gone now and I'm seeing the audio sync/dropout problems whereas with the video stutter, they were not that evident.

The QuEnc video looks very smooth and good now....

It's almost there...

[lab-one]

It seems everyone that has mentioned that movie has come across the 0byte VOB. It appears it gives Nero fits. I use ImageToolClassic to create an ISO after DVD-RB is done and then burn it with DVDDecryptor. So, that file didn't give me any problems.

[insanescape]

Nero cries, but it doesn't affect the functionality of the DVD. And it has nothing to do with DVD-RB: If you decrypt a dvd with 0 bytes and right away take the folder into nero, it still whines.

DVD works fine though

[wgw]

JDOBBS,

If I delete the source path that was set in rebuilder for the last run, the next time I open rebuilder, it completely resets the .ini and I lose all my paths and custon settings. Can you set it up so that rebuilder only blanks out the paths that no longer exist rather than reseting the entire .ini file.

[kadilak]

With version 0.46 I'm still seeing DVD-RB take up about 30% of the processor while it's waiting on CCE. This strikes me as strange because in previous versions it only took 20-25%.

[onesoul]

DVD-RB 0.46
CCE 2.67.00.27
DVD: Monty Python, Meaning of life - special edition (PAL)

At the menu I select "With Prologue" which is presented by Eric Idle but after the introduction finishes it freezes when it was supposed to carry on to the "Our Feature Presentation", I have no option than to push menu button. Then I select "Play Movie" but there seems to be the same problem when changing from "Our Short Feature Presentation" to next chapter which is when "Our Feature Presentation" begins. The rest of chapters are ok. This doesn't happen with PC dvd software and neither original at stand alone.

edit: it seems that it also freezes at the end of movie not going to menu.

Regards

[insanescape]

just tell everyone it's DVD-RB "monitoring" CCE to make sure it stays in line, since everyone knows that CCE is like the cowboy encoder and likes to do its own thing if you're not watchign.

[danjx]

No error 9 with Kill Bill on DVDRB v.46 with half d1 and half space for extras. The results look fine.

[sup191]

@Msc_Alex

I've tried recoding Fletch Lives with DVD-RB .30 with the exact same settings as .46 and the audio sync is still off for only chapter 11.

@jdobbs

Any insight on to why just one chapter displays audio sync issues? The original DVD dump on my hard drive works perfectly.

[swmiller]

I am using
DVD Rebuilder V 0.45 & 0.46
CCE SP V2.67
ECLCCE V1.81
Encoding Frailty & Gladiator

On Gladiator it reached the end 100% of rebuild phase before the error (I was using DVD_RB V 0.45 on that movie) UpdateIFO Failed should not happen contact developer. With Frality (DVD_RB V 0.46) It gives me the same error at 65.2% of rebuild phase.
I tried to uninstall everything and reinstalled it all and got the same error in the same spot.

Hmmm, after futher testing the problem is no longer happening. Do you know what might cause DVDRebuilder to reset the ini file. I have not changed anything in my setup. I am using RBFarm so perhaps something is happening as a result. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[mpennel]

DVD-RB appears to not be setting the flag for Half D1 correctly when doing batch processing. I'm setting up a batch process to run overnight, and some of the saved projects are in half-D1, and some aren't. It appears that DVDRB may not be reading the saved information about whether I want half-D1 ON or OFF, but instead of keeping Half-D1 ON for all the batch processling if it is turned ON in the drop down under MODE...it's hard to explain, and it's still quirky, since I'm just messing with it. Regardless, it is related to this problem:

Anyhow, in additon to that batch weirdness, it appears that if I save out a project with Half-D1 turned OFF, and then load in a project with Half-D1 turned ON, and the reload the project with Half-D1 turned OFF again, the drop down still check-marks Half-D1, leaving it ON when I want it OFF. Does this make any sense?

Thus, I did the above, just to make sure my drive paths were correct, etc, and hit process the batch job, and DVD-RB instantly told me it was using Half-D1 for Extras, when I had clearly saved out my first batch job with Half D1 turned OFF!

Whew, now I'm confused. :D I hope I've described the problem enough for others to try to recreate, which should be easy enough, since it's just a matter of saving and loading project files.

rebuilded without any probs. No crashing, no errors, no problems with single frame encodes. Superb!
Disc doesn't work tho but it's my fault.. I didn't check it earlier.. this dvd has menu in VTS_01_1.VOB! :( It uses BOV i suppose (is there any other way of doing menu in _1.VOB ?) so it won't work with DVD-RB.
Stupid me :)
Might seem kinda stupid to answer own posts but just wanted to say that i've redid that Extras Disc with DVD-RB 0.46 and QuEnc and all the BoV in it work perfectly ok (and there are quite some of them there). I've seen someone (RB?) mentioning Philips not liking DVD RB produced backups. I've tested my backup on Philips 737 and there was no problem either.

JDobbs big, great, huge THANK YOU for this awsome app.

All the people reporting problem with Philips (myself included), use CCE.
Me and robgarib (still) have problems on a Philips 743 and 612.
Husage reports succes on a Philips 727 with CCE SP Trial 2.66.
I have tried that, same results :(
Both you (RobertR) and Huesage have the newer Philips models (727, 737)
Me and robgarib have older models.
I suspect it's a Philips glitch, and since they are outdated, there's no hope for a FW update. :( :(

Unfortunately the problem is not related to CCE but in Dvdrb itself.
I've got the same problem using dvbrb with Quenc 049 while using transcoders (IC8 - Dvd shrink - Dcs - Clonedvd2) everything works well.
The strange thing is that some weeks ago in the tests with the older versions of dvdrb i have made some perfect copies (Matrix revolutions - Swat - Mona Lisa smile).
Please Jdobbs try to correct this bug.
I like dvdrb and i wish to use it.
Thanks.

I am still having sync problems and audio dropouts in my Toshiba DVD players using DVD-RB/QuEnc. The audio gets progressivly ahead of the video. Skippping to a new chapter gets it back in sync briefly.

This problem does not occur or is minimal on my Apex1500 and my Philips DVDR75 Recorder/player..

Any ideas?

DVD-RB/ReJig movies do not have this problem.

DVD-RB just keeps getting better and better........

[beretta79]

Rebuilding the Sopranos - Season 1 Disc 1
Works fine to rebuild the original rip. But I tried removing the opening credit scenes from each episode using DvdRemake and I get a buffer overflow error 0003. I've also tried running it through DVD Shrink with no compression after DvdRemake with the same result. It plays fine on PowerDVD after using DvdRemake. This has happened with every version of DVD-RB up to the current 0.47.

I've preprocessed using DvdRemake and/or DVD Shrink many times with complete success, except for this one DVD. I've also read about many others having success preprocessing. So I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to make this work, or if I have to settle with no preprocessing on the Sopranos. Thanks.

[jhmac]

Try running it through DVDRemake after DVD-RB it worked for me in a simalar situation...

Right now i'm reencoding those Nemo extras using CCE (SP Trial 2.67.0.27 -- btw RB switching to it solved my problem of CCE crashing on single I-frames). Later today i'll test this on 737 and on 743 of my neighbour and report how did it behave.
As for FW update You might just check with some local service-center or look at http://philips.ianc.net

Apparently the "Could not open Video Codec" is a known problem; there's a thread on it in the QuENC forum.

The "Error in UpdateIFO" happened again (on a different DVD), this time with no QuENC error.

The "Error in UpdateIFO" happened again (on a different DVD), this time with no QuENC error.

Happened with me, also, on the 24 Season 1 DVD.

Also, I got the "Unknown video codec" error as well, but ONLY on the last two segments. The encoding was already at 98% or so done already.

[jdobbs]

If the encoding fails -- the liklihood of getting a good rebuild is very low. The "Error in IFOUpdate" is because after the encoding error, the original DVD no longer matches what you have encoded, and the rebuilder gets confused.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to test it as DVD RB aborted during rebuild phase with Error #4. It was on segment 5 of vobid 6 in vts 6. It's not a still frame it's intro animation for some puzzle game. As soon as i got that error i've checked .avs and .m2v. AVS was playable but M2V gave me "Error rendering file" in Media Player Classic. I've butchered (copy of) REBUILDER.ecl and encoded just that particular file. This time m2v was playable but DVD RB still aborts with #4 error.
I've tested this with 0.46 and 0.47 of DVD RB; CCE 2.67.0.27, EclCCE 1.8.1. The disc is Finding Nemo R2 PAL (Polish edition). No deinterlacing or 1/2D1 was checked. Just the "Dynamicaly assign..."
DVD was ripped to iso file using DVDDecrypter 3.2.2.0 and mounted using Daemon Tools. I'll try to rip it to files and rerun DVD RB and see how it will go this time

Finding Nemo uses seamless branch afair and DVD-RB doesn't support this - yet (afair).

Sorry i'm a bit hungry atm and i've eaten one word:

I'm trying to back up Extras of Finding Nemo R2 PAL (PL edition).
(strangely enough this dvd backed up perfectly when using QuEnc -- i just wasn't satisfied with the quality of animated parts)

DVD: Fletch Lives NTSC R1

I have an audio sync problem on just chapter 11 of this DVD. All the other chapters are flawless. I noticed the problem when using InterVideo WinDVD 5 (newest updated version), and am playing the movie off my hard drive. When I play chapter 11 from the original directory that I dumped it to, it plays perfectly. Any clues?

I haven't touched the directory after running the one click, so if you need any info from there, let me know.

** Updated **
I posted this a few days back, but have since upgraded my DVD-RB and CCE version and get the same results. Chapter 11's audio is still off by a fraction of a second.

** Update #2 **
I just reran Fletch Lives with .48 and the audio in chapter is better, but still off by a hair. I don't know the the ff/rw fix effected this or not, but I'm getting a slightly different result. I also have the same exact problem with The Thin Red Line in chapter 1. I've done about 5 other movies since my last update and they all work fine with no audio sync problems.

[Joergen]

Are you sure its not like that in the original DVD? A suspicious mind can see and hear funny things ;)

How does it work in a standalone?

I assume this doesn't apply to my second post (10th May 2004 16:14), where I wrote "this time with no QuENC error."

Also, I got a different error with 0.47 - again with no error from QuENC. This time, I got a pop-up saying "Improper VIDEO_TS.IFO file. ABORTING"

The last thing in the status window is:
- Updated IFO: VTS_04_0.IFO
Correcting VTS Sectors...

After clearing the pop-up, the status window added:

Phase III, REBUILD completed in 240 minutes.

Done.
-----------------------------------------------------

When I went to check the VIDEO_TS.IFO, there was none in my source directory, and there was a 0-byte one in my Rebuilder target directory. I have no idea why there wasn't one in the source directory; might have been nice if this was checked up-front rather than after 36 hours of chugging away. (It would really be nice if the program had grabbed the BUP file instead, but that would be "exceeding expectations".)

Can I get it to finish up the rebuild phase without having to redo everthing?

Thanks.

I'm guessing you're referring to my post. So many posts in this thread, one can easily get confused! :)

Yes. I've run the original and backup both on WinDVD and my Sony standalone DVD player. For the backups, Chapter 11 in Fletch Lives and Chapter 1 in Thin Red Line both have audio lip sync issues. The originals play fine in both. It's VERY obvious in TRL. Every other chapter works fine. I did a backup of The Fugitive and The Fifth Element last night and they came out perfect.

[NobbyNobbs]

Just delete the final VIDEO_TS folder,make a copy of the original VIDEO_TS.BUP, and rename to VIDEO_TS.BUP, then choose rebuild again :D

[lamster]

Got another "Shouldn't happen"; this time with v0.49. Still using QuENC 0.51. Last thing in the status window was:

- Rebuilding segment 48 VOBID:56 CELLID:1
- Updating information in NAVPACKS...

That corresponds with the end of VTS_01.

I note that the source directory doesn't contains a VTS_02_0.VOB or VTS_03_1.VOB; it looks like:

...
VTS_01_6.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_03_0.BUP
VTS_03_0.IFO
VTS_03_1.VOB

Could this be the cause of the problem?

I tried creating 0-byte VTS_02_0.VOB and VTS_03_1.VOB and rerunning the Rebuild phase, and got the same error.

That's a tough one. I just upgraded to 3.2.2.0 last night. One of the machines I'm working with was at 3.2.1.0; the other one was running an older version. I don't recall exactly which one. (Maybe 3.1.7? I'll see if I still have the older SetupDVDDecrypter_3.x.y.z.exe on that machine when I get home.)

AviSynth Version : 2.54

This project gave me 345 segments (!!), one new segment for almost every time a scene changes. It seemed to encode fine and rebuild fine but on playback it slightly stutters usually when the scene changes (I mean where the film is cut to a new angle etc).


I have confirmed that 0.49 fixes this problem alltogether (even though jdobbs in his modesty didnt mention this in the readme). Prepare gives only 33 segments and no more stutter on playback at scene(segment) changes.

This movie was the largest reduction I've done yet by percentage (53.7%) but the average bitrate was still 3.950kbps (one of the highest I've done) complete with a 2ch 160MB commentary track, which gives you an idea of the bitrate of the original! The quality of the output is superb.

Thanks again jdobbs!

Nope - didn't save the older setup program. I think it was 3.1.7.0.

If you're thinking if the entry in the DVD Decrypter change log that says:
Fixed: Big bug in ISO Read mode where files following 0 bytes files weren't decrypted
that doesn't apply; I always use file mode.

Brother Bear DVD (PAL - R2)

Is interlaced but not detected as such. When you load the avs in virtualdubmod you can clearly see the combing. Is there a way to force DVDRB to treat a VTS as interlaced (and hence add the decomb lines) like there is to not deinterlace. If not would it be possible?? (hint, hint! :) ).

[Or if not could someone please recommend a good search and replace proggy to go through the multiple avs files and add the line :D ]

Cheers

[jdobbs]

If it isn't marked as interlaced... if very probably isn't interlaced. DVD-RB gets the information from the MPEG stream itself. The likelihood that that is incorrect if pretty slim (notice I didn't say impossible). Sometimes the apparent combing can be just bad editing on the original or the result of some misinformed DVD author trying to make progressive out of an interlaced source.

Of course there's always the possibility that I've done something wrong that somehow gets brought out by a particular disc or set of circumstances ;) -- as these threads show, it wouldn't be the first time.

Many thanks for the reply. I should have attached a picture. (Captured from virtualdub from a representative frame from the avs file]

DVD: The Prisoner PAL R2 boxset Disc 1



Okay, I am having a problem with "The Prisoner", which is an episodic DVD.

At the rebuild stage it gets to Vob Id 1, Cell ID 5
then says:

"Dvd Rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0004. Process must abort."

I can post IFO's and so on if any use, also a feature request is to be able to resume from where we left off.

Also I think some of the menu choices could be made more user friendly, i.e. if "audio dub(blank clip)" is not needed for CCE 2.67+ then that option should be automatically de-selected and greyed out.

Congrats for a very promising program, I will donate when it gets past beta for sure.

[AndyP]

[Or if not could someone please recommend a good search and replace proggy to go through the multiple avs files and add the line]

Well I couldn't find one, so I wrote one. Goes through all the avs files and adds the deinterlace bits. It does not detect if it is there already so make sure the Disable Interlaced option is set for all VTSs.

4. Bug encountered: "Run-time error '75' Path/File access error"

I encounter this run-time error near the end of the 'prepare' phase when trying to backup Criterion editions of The Last Wave and Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Please let me know if I can supply more useful information.

I refer to the message by Joergen in RB-Opt thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75202&perpage=20&pagenumber=4)
I think that DVD-RB encode stills in CBR to avoid problem (if I'm not wrong). At least that's wat I saw in a Rebuilder.ecl from a prepare phase using CCE SP 2.50.
Instead I found this sections in Rebuilder.inf and Rebuilder.ecl (and Joergen confirmed it was encoded VBR).
Probably he bug is with CCE SP 2.66+

Sometimes the apparent combing can be just bad editing on the original or the result of some misinformed DVD author trying to make progressive out of an interlaced source.
First, compliments on a fantastic piece of software!

I have been struggling to understand progressive/interlaced coding and how DVD-RB works with it. Bad Boys 2, for example, has 3 progressive frames to 2 interlaced frames in several cells (3:2 pulldown?). I checked this by playing a .AVS with FieldDeinterlace(blend=false, show=true) and stepping frames. I guess this is common, although here its 24fps not 30fps(??). Anyway, a DVD2AVI preview shows these scenes as PROGRESSIVE, strangely. DVD-RB successfully identifies these scenes as interlaced. My questions are:

When DVD-RB analyzes the MPEG stream and reads how its marked, does it do this on a frame to frame basis? If there are only a small portion of few frames marked as interlaced, does the entire cell get marked in the ecl files? I've read around to find clarity on this subject to no avail.

Given possible mixed progressive-interlaced coding, shouldn't FieldDeinterlace be used with full=false to only process the frames detected as combed? It seems to work well with the standard detection thresholds. The Decomb511 default is FieldDeinterlace(full=true) according to the reference manual. Would it even be safe to add Fielddeinterlace(blend=false,full=false) to every avs file just in case there are some portions interlaced?

And sorry for the newbie questions, but after a Fielddeinterlace, why is ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true) necessary? Hasn't it just been deinterlaced or is colorspace conversion something entirely different?

If I am way off in my understanding of this business of interlaced coding, could someone help clarify. I am also a bit hazy on when it is necessary to deinterlace. My understanding is you should do this only when you aren't happy with your player's deinterlacing. Stand-alones connected to progressive displays do this just fine, right? wmansir expanded on the settings description in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=474136&highlight=progressive+deinterlace#post474136).

Again, DVD-RB is great jdobbs. Thanks!

2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.66
3. Using eclCCE? Yes
4. Bug encountered: BOV weirdness

This disney disc has now defeated four tools it seems (DVDStripper, DVDRemake amongst them), all because it has a questionaire game in it. DVD-RB's output ends up with unfunctional buttons (WinDVD, but buttons work in PowerDVD) and only audio playing when you start the game (the extras menu image displaying still) where there should be a text explaining what to do. This happens also in two standalones.

So at the slight expense of the main movie I renamed all the extras so DVD-RB doesnt see them, and then will rename them back after rebuild.

This makes me think an option to "not process VTS #" would be handy :)

I'd like to add though, that thanks to DVD-RB I was able to convert this originally Letterboxed (SHAME ON YOU DISNEY!) movie to a great looking anamorphic picture (came out better than I thought cause the original was clean and high bitrate).

Nope........ I do not........ just the 3 step CCE method (with 4 passes in fact)
The only thing I did different to versions before was the removal of the DTS and 1 AC audio track leaving 2 other audio tracks behind.
Do you want me to run it again with some other options?

It didn't happen on the versions pre 0.50 (I ran Nemo once with 0.49 and it came out right but then I let the DTS stay in place).
Ofcourse I am willing to rerun but should I try 0.49 with DTS out or 0.50a with DTS in?

I believe you......... but what shall I do now? Are you sure it could nothing have to do with me deselecting the DTS track?
Maybe I should add that I deselected the DTS track and ran step prepare; then I closed down rebuilder and started it again later. I hit encode but can't remember if I deselected the DTS track again. Surely that couldn't be the reason of the oversize? The selections made when running the prepare phase are saved or not?

jdobbs can give you the definitive answer, but it sounds to me like that could have done it. I can't quite tell what happened from your description, but say you click Prepare without DTS checked, DVD-RB determines a bitrate/output size without considering the space needed for the larger audio track. Then you Rebuild with DTS checked, DVD-RB adds the DTS track back in but the reencoded video is too big for all of that to fit on DVD5.

BTW, I think your audio track selections are stored somewhere in the working directory so you shouldn't have to change any of that if you reopen a project...or if you do, you'd have to start over at the Prepare step. Its a lot quicker than doing step 2 again, anyway. ;)

If you kept all your working/source files, maybe try rebuilding again with the smallest audio track.

That's exactly what I thought to! But when I restart rebuilder after the prepare phase the DTS track is selected again! And I didn't delete anything..........
So I think I started the encode with DTS selected (by default) in the window thinking it wouldn't matter because I already had ran the prepare with it........
Anyway I think the best choice now is to rerun the lot (without restarting) overnight and see what happens.....

[boombastic]

I'm trying to backup LOTR The Return Of The King but the II phase (OPV enable) last only 10 minutes and in the III phase i get a buffer overflow (error 0004) error.

[Noah]

Weird stuff, Harm. Sounds like something happened in the restart, whether it was pilot error or a bug, who knows. Its kind of a pain to redo something that takes several hours, but the results are definitely worth it when it works.

boombastic,

Unless you've got RB-Farm running on a nice cluster of servers, OPV encoding in CCE should take a lot longer than 10 minutes. My guess is that your problem is there, but just doesn't manifest itself in an error until rebuilding.

[mpennel]

I know if you REBUILD in the 3 click method with the extra DTS track (or whatever track it might be) selected, which you didn't have selected orginally, it will rebuild the disc with the extra track, and your size will be way too big to fit on a DVD, so what you're describing could possibly be the same thing. By keeping the DTS track when you reopened rebuilder, and started the encoding, DVD-RB had already calculated the size needed WITHOUT the DTS track, and now you're throwing it back into the mix, which oversizes it.

I hope this helps.

DVD-RB version: 0.50b
CCE Basic 2.67.01.19
Using eclCCE: N

Under the mode options I noticed that " Steal Space from Extras " is greyed out, but if you change encoders (say from QuEnc to CCE) the " Steal Space from Extras " is no longer greyed out and lets you pick from - 25% (Quality Drop on Extras), 33% ..... 50%, but when you pick any of the three you get " Runtime Error '387' - 'Checked' property can't be set on this control" and DVD-RB is shutdown. NO big deal but just letting you know ;)

Well as I said I reran the lot without closing down rebuilder after the prepare phase.... and the size is right now!

So I think this is an "official" bug now....
- if you deselect any of the audio tracks and only run prepare phase, close down rebuilder and start it again then your deselections are not saved and you probably have to do them again for the encode phase although I guess if you don't do them exactly the same the bitrate already calculated will be wrong.....

So I guess jdobbs that the best option would be to save those selections if that's possible ofcourse.... :D

You can also say that it's unwise to close rebuilder in the 3 step phase..... :sly:

The buffer overflow error #0004 is a definite problem which is happening on the two DVD's that I have tried, namely The Prisoner Pal R2 and The War Of The Roses Pal R2, though for me I can't say that Phase II only lasted 10 minutes, the encode was a more realistic three hours or so.

I've stopped trying. I'd also like to add that this is with ISO rips mounted in Daemon Tools, these are exact images, nothing funny.

[Joergen]

I had a double-disaster today. I was using all the family PC's to encode a project using RBFarm (so its partially a fault with it but cant be fixed by it I suppose), and somebody hit cancel on CCE first, then ended rbfarm (without telling me of course).

Soo, I got a 100MB undersize after rebuild. At first I thought its very odd since I've never gotten such a big undersize. I eyed the .vaf files in comparison to the .m2v files quickly and saw nothing odd there. Trail of thought here was "Oh well dvd-rb would certainly do an error if there was 100MB missing."

While I was already burning (ooh what a tragedy, a whole 0.8€) I first realised I had encoded with disable interlaced for VTS_03 but rebuilt without this option (so stream gets marked interlaced again), and then I saw that one .m2v was 54MB and its vaf was 3500KB (where it shouldhave been around 1000KB) so there was the runaway chunk that I didnt see.

(crowd: get to the point!)

My point is:

1. Could you make a sanity check for the length of the .m2v?
2. And also for compiling progressive .m2v as interlaced in the .vob

Thank you!

The ecl files created by DVD-RB 0.51 doesn't contain any vbr_brate_max value anymore. Is this behaviour intended, or did this line got somewhere lost when fixing the max. bitrate bug? I had this when using progressive PAL sources in CCE Mode (both Basic and SP). Of course these encodes didn't respect the max. bitrate value in the rebuilder.ini at all.

[wmansir]

i'm doing a OPV test now and it has it, I'll be running a regular VBR run before I go to bed and will check. Perhaps it is a PAL issue? Or are you saying it's not using your custom Max bitrate you set in the rebuilder.ini?

On this DVD there are 4 audio tracks. The 4th track being the Director's comment which is 2 channels (the other 3 are 6 channels).
Although it's difficult to check for a delay on the other tracks I think they are right. The 4th track is definitely off (slightly too early). You can see that e.g. with the introduction where the director is talking.
I ran this one with DTS track (track 2) deselected.

Is this a new one? Should I rerun it with the latest version or with other options?

i analysed some more dvds with the following result:

NTSC + interlaced: ok
PAL + progressive: ok
PAL + interlaced: vbr_brate_max missing.

(all vbr. the opv value was always ok)

so it does only happen when using PAL sources without an progressive frame flag (and not when using PAL progressive what a said by mistake before)

btw, the complete line is missing (and not only the value)

A little problem with subtitles: the hidden feature of mtv awards with gollum doesn't display (portuguese) subtitles although it remains selected (at Power DVD). I didn't remove any subtitles and didn't try previous versions on it, should I run 0.50 to compare?

I did one movie with 0.51 but it is progressive so I hope I'm safe with it.

BIG ERROR in 51c (probably earlier, but just picked it up).

Was using RB to 'shrink' (down to 4.37gb) and adjust the picture (reset the color/gamma) of a HOME RECORDED DVD-R (recorded on the Panasonic DMR-E80). After passing thru RB the video is TOTALLY farkled... the familar 'horizinal hold' effect.

After checking the output video vs the input video.. found two very important differences...

input video 704x480, 29.97fps

output from RB 720x480, 23.97fps

checked the ECL files and sure enough...

[item]
width=740
height=480
frame_rate_idx=1

this was NOT always this way... I had tried processing/shinking a home-recorded disc way back when the 'ficker' was an issue and it came thru ok... so somewhere along the way RB stopped picking up the actual video parameters...

OOPS!

[hobyho]

Would like to say firstly, a big thanks to jdobbs for a great program you have created.

Ok, back to a bug I might have found with the use of DVD-Rebuilder 0.51c (and possibly other versions) and CCE Basic 2.69.01.08. The bug is that DVD-Rebuilder does not seem to set the correct 'Quality_Prec' for the encodes.

Looking at the ecl file created, it is definitely missing a:

pict_qchar=32

Which sets to a specified Quality_Prec (in this case it is 32), atm mine is defaulting to 16 no matter what is set.

I hope you can look into it to fix this problem. Also does the VBR_Bias have any use in CCE Basic? If so I do not see any settings in the ecl to correspond to this either.

Again, thanks for a great program... and my first posting because I just wanted you to note this. =)

OOPS! Sorry to say: but it has always been this way. I'll take a look at it, though. In the meantime I'd suggest you put a filter in for LanzosResize(720,480). Don't overanalyze the framerate. That's how it is supposed to work in DVD-RB, it will be corrected in the rebuild phase.

OK, I can accept that the framerate may not be an issue (after looking at some things I see that), but I can assure you that the SIZE 704 vs 720 has not. Before the homemades have gone thru prop....

hmmm...

just realized that this may be an issue of AUTHORING programs... my older ones that I used were done with program 'x', the later ones done with program 'y'... (no names till I identify the guilty)... I'll go back to a earlier created disc and see what happens.

Are you getting the stream resolution from the IFO's or the MPEG headers???? (I hate to say it, but it may be time for another "advanced" option... 'override stream resolution' :(

I'll get back with you shortly..

[Rombaldi]

@jdobbs

well, I went back to an older disc, one that I had successfully processed thru before that has 704x480 video and it ALSO was 'deformed' to 720x480 instead of 704x480...

I stuck in a "Addborders (8,0,8,0) to pad the sides (figured it would be faster than the resize and not distort the frame) and it's chugging now..

I know that at ONE POINT this didn't happen... so if you can find anything it would be nice :)

[jdobbs]

At one point the DVD compliant flag was set as on in DVD-RB. But the definition of that flag was redefined in CCE Basic to include changing the framerate, so I had to disable it. When DVD compliant is set any input that is not 720xNNN is resized automatically and padded with black bars -- that was a complaint a lot of people had because Half-D1 input would be centered on a 720x480 (for example) black-background screen.

You could have run a job back when it was set as the default, and the borders may have been added for you.

Your're right. Adding the border is better -- as long as it stays in the overscan areas on playback.

So, (if I don't do the 'AddBorders') it's still resizing to 720x480, but not padding then and instead distoring the picture??? Hmmm... what happens now if you feed it half-D1 input? will that also get distorted or ?????

I *DID* try and going in to edit the ECL file(s) and changed the frame size to 704x480 and then ran the encode, everything DID come out correctly in the rebuild.. but it is a pain in the tookas to have to edit the ECL's by hand :D Any chance of an 'override' in the expert to cover things like this??

Half-D1 comes out fine. Even in the old versions of CCE you had to turn DVD-Compliant off. Is it coming out distorted? Frankly, if you have something in a 4:3 or 16:9 format I wouldn't have thought so.

Yup.. it's going in 4:3, 704x480 and coming out 4:3, 720x480 with the 'horizontal hold' out of whack (best way to describe it)...

You have to run encode with the same selections made for CCE as you did when you ran the prepare phase! (I know; something similar happened to me when I started using rebuilder!).

So whenever you change something in your setup (especially the selections for CCE) rerun the prepare phase first........ :D

Donald Nicehttp:// c:\test You say you are not using ECLCCE --- but ECLCCE is required for CCE 2.50 (which is what you are using).

[Fishman0919]

Like I said on the other post and jdobbs just did and the Sticky: DVD ReBuilder: Installation, Setup, and Usage post does...
YOU NEED TO USE ECLCCE WITH CCE 2.50 NO MATER WHAT for it to work with DVD-ReBuiler... oh and point Eclcce to your cctsp.exe first before running DVD-RB


Hope this helps

EDIT: Mater...lol

EDIT-2: DVD-ReBuiler ...LMAO

[barneypooch]

ReBuilder v052
CCE SP 2.50
ECLCCE latest version

If I use DVDRB to rebuild a DVD everything goes fine. But next time, after the prepare phase, the CCE window opens and just hangs.
Then I have to reboot the PC and re-install CCE and ECLCCE, when the process starts again - ie, one encode goes fine but the next one hangs. If I try to use CCE with DVD2SVCD or D2SRoba, it just won't play ball. It's like it's become internally corrupted. Only a re-install solves the problem.
As a side note, when I reboot my PC, my start menu has been changed - I keep having to re-enable "Show Quick Launch".

Am I doing something horrifically dumb?

@Jdobbs
It's not a bug, it's more a cosmetic thing.
I didn't want open a new thread, so I posted here...

I'm backing up a DVD, with 3 VTS:
VTS1 average bitrate 2590, reduction 42,6
VTS2 average bitrate 2135, reduction 42,6
VTS3 average bitrate 2741, reduction 42,6

If I enable Steal Space from Extras (using 50%), I get:
VTS1 average bitrate 2914, reduction 42,6
VTS2 average bitrate 1067, reduction 42,6
VTS3 average bitrate 1370, reduction 42,6

While the bitrate are correct, I think DVD-RB doesn't update the
Reduction=
in Rebuilder.inf

If it's not a problem, could you update it? It's useful for addons programs (as RB-Opt, ECL Optimizer ...) which rely on that parameter.

Sorry for my english, I hope I've been clear in my explanation.

[jdobbs]

Actually I just thought about it... in the way I do it the reduction, the percentage does stay the same... I just give more space to movie and less to the extras... then use the reduction against the new numbers. I'll take a look and see if there is a better way to compute the percentage. I have to be careful, though, as that number influences how I use ReJig.

[robot1]

thanks.
What about a final calculation, updating the percentage, according to the original bitrate and the final calculated bitrate?
Anyway, If you update the percentage, also in Rejig you could use the "steal space from extras" (but I don't know if it's a good suggestion, as at high compression Rejig's quality is bad and output filesize could not be exact).

[sidders]

Every version of Rebuilder since 0.49 has crashed CCE, whether its 2.50, 2.66 or 2.67. I have had various error message from 'different to previous pass' to simply crashing. I tried reinstalling everyrthing, trying the previous version etc, and my problems (on different films by the way) did not stop until I went back to version 0.49. Anyone else had this problem? Usually it crashes whilst encoding the first section in the encoding process.

Also the later version take ages to start the transcoding process - the HD light is on indicating activity, but it doesn't seem to start for about 20 mins. Is this right?

Is anyone else getting CCE crashes with the latest versions?

[djackson]

1. DVD-RB Version : 0.52
2. Encoder being used: CCE 2.67 SP
3. Using eclCCE? : Y
4. Disc : The Mummy (Ultimate Edition Disc 2) R4 PAL
5. Bug encountered :
When doing the Rebuild phase, Overall % progress runs from 0 to -1500% (minus), gets past VTS5, jumps to -150% and finally finishes at 100%. Result is about 2Gig undersize. VTS5 is the problem.

I've checked that VTS5 is encoded by CCE, but its being skipped in the rebuild phase. I've loaded the before/after VOBs into DVDReMake to confirm this. The only difference I can see with the orig VOB is it starts out B&W 4:3 (runs with an old Boris Karloff "The Mummy" clip) before returning to normal colour 16:9 extras. The rebuilt VOB shows as no video.

Any assistance appreciated.

The last post i had i wasnt to descriptive of what i've used. Well this time i tested a new movie and it was rules of engagement. What was used to burn the output was elby clone cd 2.0.8.4. at 4x speed.

At about 7 minutes into the movie there is a blip in the audio or dropout. Im not sure what you describe it as. It was in more of a action part of the movie, more bass if that matters any. But there was only one this time unlike the other movies. Is it the program used to burn the output or media even?

One more interesting/weird thing: DVDShrink reports that that missing vob has 8 audio streams, all with 0 MB, and 32 sub-pictures, all with 0 MB. Dunno if that has anything to do with the problem.

Two issues:

1)I find that rebuilding with 0.53a still produces error when burning with NERO 6 - says that there is errors in structure ... Doing the rebuild step with 0.52 instead works!!!

2)Could not load codex - contact nic error on single frame m2v files: I've found that using vobedit to extract the "not reencoded" m2v file, giving it the correct name and editing .inf file to set ratio to 100,0 (not sure if the last is nessesary) works!!! I can then rebuild with success afterwards - no "error in ifoupdate - contact developer"

I'm using AVISynth 2.54, CCE SP 2.67.0.27 with eccecl 1.81.
Im' using dgdecode.dll taken from dgmpgdec1012a.zip found in the software section of doom9 (i think it's last version).

The problem is that dgdecode.dll decode d2v files with version v06, BUT, the d2v files created by DVD-Rebuilder are not v06.
Opening an .AVS file with my player dgdecode says that d2v file is obsolete.

What can i do? If i need an older version of mpeg2decdg where i can find it?

Thanks in advance

Ok, this is my bad. I told Doom9 I would update the D9 site guide for DVD-RB, but I forgot that the links to software get updated to the latest versions (either automatically or someone else does it). That's probably why a lot of people have been trying to use DGDecode and encountering problems. I'll fix it today.

Someone else had suggested rerunning QuENC for that m2v with the same options except only 1 pass. Not only does that work fine, but if you do it before the rebuild phase, you don't get the "error in ifoupdate", and don't have to rebuild a second time.

jdobbs: I have a bug for DVD-RB 0.54:

It might not concern almost anybody, but this disc I tried to encode to conver from LB to 16:9 comes out with only the first sub stream working in windvd or powerdvd, and dvdshrink shows the streams as 0MB but present. Doing a quick chunk through dvdshrink (of the original) in re-author keeps the subs working though.

Since the disc is from a disrespected studio and a letterbox movie (always a sign of incompetence) so it might be an authoring error.

I can send you files if you want to take a look jdobbs.

Tried to do League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (NTSC-WS), with CCE-OPV. RB 0.54, CCE v2.66.01.07.
It came out much too large--5,228,167,168 bytes. When I redid it without OPV, it came out 4,654,751,744 bytes.
What further info do you need to debug this?

I see you only use 1% sample. Is this really enough? When I was doing DVD2SVCD, I used 4%.

Thanks.

That movie has 1GB+ of unreferenced video on disc2, could cause problems.

@jdobbs:

I can confirm that v0.54 resolved my first problem with stills/BOV. The famous "Brad Pitt Quiz" :rolleyes: in "7 Years in Tibet", R2, didn't work with 0.53a and PowerDVD, the picture freezed when using the button, although the sound seemed OK. Now with 0.54 everything is OK.

Keep it up!!

This may be related to Open Known Issue #11 but in my Sony 5 disc changer the copy of Deer Hunter I made will skip backwards a second or two and replay what we just saw. Really quite wierd. It seems to happen at fairly regular intervals, possibly at the seams of the m2v files that cce breaks the movies up into. Not sure if I should have put this as an update to the Known Issue or put it here so I put the issue here.

Encoded with:

DVDRB 0.54
CCE 2.50
Newest decrypter to rip

[rayvt]

"...buffer overflow error #0003, during rebuild. DDV-rb v0.54, on Once Upon A Time in America, disk 2."

Turns out the problem was that one of the vob's didn't get ripped. Dvdshrink caught that right away. Seems that DVD-RB didn't figure it out at all, but just crashed during the rebuild stage.

[Madibaman]

Hi there.

Im running DVD-RB Pro and CCE Basic, having only succesfully build one movie, and the result was awesome.

After that, I installed some viewers, such as Quicktime, Flash, Realplayer, and some others that I can't remember (I just installed them without further ado during internet browsing).

Now, when I try to back up a movie ("Heat") I get an error message when the "rebuild" phase is well over, saying that there is an "error opening output VOB", with an errorcode "00035 00076".

Is there any connection between installing those wievers and the behaviour of DVD-RB? And, can you help me with that errorcode?

I tried to uninstall Quicktime and Realplayer, but the result was the same.

Please help me, if anyone can.

Best regards,

Madibaman.

[jdobbs]

That means your output directory is no longer valid. That typically happens when you delete something between the time you did the PREPARE and the REBUILD. I'd suggest you edit the REBUILDER.INI file and delete the lines for

SOURCE=
WORKING=
OUTPUT=

Then repoint to them from within DVD-RB.

[Madibaman]

Thanks, I'll try that.

Best,

Madibaman

I can't imagine how that could happen? How are you checking them? If it were doing that you'd think it would crash after a couple of prediction passes... I'll give it a test.

I just tested it and it works correctly for me. I opened up the AVS file as each prediction pass was being accomplished and they were all the same (complete). What title are you encoding?

[Edit] Ok... just realized. This is one of the many symptoms that happens on the extremely poorly "cracked" version floating around. It also will create discs with lots of playback problems...

Enough said.
