Fatal Error: Input File is missing frames?

[Forseti]

I'm trying to back up a DVD9 movie that only requires the stripping of the French and Spanish audio tracks in order to fit on DVD5. Problem is I get this error every time I try to rebuild it. The exact error is:

ERROR: The input file "V05004200019005.M2V" is missing frames. Rebuild Aborting.

I've set up dvdrb so that there is no encoding, just preparing and rebuilding and stripping out the unneeded audio tracks. Everything works fine up until this point (it's about 91% complete).

Here's the copy&paste from the status window:

If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well... lets think that you are using the latest version of Rebuilder and CCE 2.70, correct?

You were a victim of a CCE 2.70 Bug.
Just try to re-encode manually the "V05004200019005.M2V" and you'll be alright. Do a search on this forum... it has been discussed before :)

[jdobbs]

If you are using 2.70, try it with HC encoder or an earlier version of CCE. CCE v2.70 is too buggy for me.

[Carpo]

HC 0.14 does give results i reckon are on par or if not better (in same areas) than cce

[jdobbs]

All I know is that every time I put a band-aid on CCE v2.70, it starts bleeding somewhere else... I'm tired of changing DVD-RB to try and make it work. The buffer overflow errors are numerous and seem to be caused by almost anything... and now that they have a version that gets a lot of errors, they've decided not to show them in "-batch" mode. Sweet.

[Carpo]

this might seem a bit of a backward step but why not just say that u dont support cce 2.7 atm due to it being bugy and causing errors and that u will not reply to any post that says they are using that version

as you say its not your software at fault and you are spending too much time on sorting out cce 2.7 so it works with dvd-rb when you could be making this tool better (not that its not great now ;) )

just an idear

[Forseti]

Is CCE 2.67 fine for use, or is it still bug ridden as well? Do you have any preferred/reccomended version of CCE jdobbs? Or just any version other than 2.70.*?

[Carpo]

2.50 2.67 or 2.69 - think

[Rockas]

I don't think that versions 2.50, 2.66 and 2.67 have that kind of problems.

[Jeffster]

I'm just curious how CCE, or any encoder, could be responsible for this particular error when there was no encoding involved... can this be true?

?????

The encoder creates an .M2V file... how could it be anything but the encoder.

1. The encoder is called to create the .M2V
2. DVD Rebuilder waits for it to finish.
3. The encoder finishes and exits leaving an exit code
4. DVD Rebuilder see recognizes the encoder completion and checks for the resulting M2V
5. It ain't there....

or...

6. When the resulting .M2V is read to attempt to add it to the VOB file... it has fewer frames than was fed to it...

Uhhh... what else could it be?

I'm sorry, I still don't get it... if no compression is required to fit on a DVD5, the encoder is still called to reencode something anyway?

It was just that there is no mention in his log file of any segments being encoded, so I didn't understand how encoding could be the cause of missing frames if nothing was encoded to start with (that's why I quoted that part of his log).

Maybe I'm totally misunderstanding something here, it's not like I've ever used RB to simply strip audio tracks before.

:confused:

[jdobbs]

Hmmm... you are absolutely right. I missed that. I'm getting my threads confused. So like Rosanne Rosannadanna says.. "Never mind."

Maybe it's related to the angle processing when demultiplexing. I'll look at it tomorrow. It's getting late.

[Walxer]

As I see this problem affects so many users,me too now. I'm using 2.70.02 and DVD-RB 0.84,but the missed frames during rebuild phase give me no chances.
The strange is that on 70 encoded movies,this is the only movie that makes me crazy. Life is Beautiful of Roberto Benigni is the DVD,and with older DVD-RB and CCESP 2.67.0.23 the result was of a movie with something strange ruinning on the right side of the image,like blockiness wave that i do not understand ?!?! The movie is PAL 4/3..
:confused: :confused:

:cool:

Great movie.

In version 0.88 I've changed the reporting of that error so it includes the number of frames that are missing. The problem is that the framecount is whatever the encoder (CCE) puts out. I'm only trying to tell you (with that error message) that something has gone wrong...

The interesting thing is that I can't repeat this error, and I reencode multiple DVDs every day in my testing. I have one computer that just reencodes DVDs 24 hours a day... and I have yet to see this error (even with CCE v2.70).

I've even created another thread trying to get someone to identify an NTSC disc that will consistently cause the problem so I can buy it -- and I haven't gotten a title yet...

I'm not sure what else I can do -- but with no reponses I'm starting to believe that this error is more rare than I first thought.

But... the problem here seems to be a different one anyway... ;)

[jdobbs]

@Forseti,

What DVD are you working with? I REALLY need to repeat this. If you're getting it on a disc that was just demultiplexed, something else is wrong here.
