I just "purchased" (by donation, of course) DVD-RB Pro v0.86 (Beta). I've been using the public version for about a month but decided to upgrade because I wanted to use the HC encoder and perhaps experiment with some of the advanced features. I am a relative newbie at DVD backup & authoring but I'd have to say I have an intermediate level of knowledge of PC hardware & software overall. I'm not a programmer per se, but have written simple scripts and batch files.
Anyway, on to the issue at hand...
DVDs used: Dirty Harry, The Terminator (T1), Terminator 2
First, I make a decrypted backup of my entire DVD to my hard drive via DVD Decrypter in File Mode (all files selected).
Using DVD-RB in the HC Mode, BEST Quality setting (everything else set at their default values), I go through the Prepare and Encode phases just fine. I then run the Rebuild phase but it always triggers the following error *about* 3/4 through (don't know for sure):
Run-time error '9'
Subscript out of Range
From there the only option is to click on the error window and DVD-RB closes.
Now please let me add something new about this error which has not appeared in other threads--
*** The RT error 9 does not occur when using QUenc ***
(at least in my experience it hasn't)
And since the Prepare and HC Encoding phases work just fine, my guess is the problem lies somewhere in DVD-RB when it attempts to rebuild HC (and perhaps other) encoded DVD files. Perhaps it's a DVD-RB Pro-only issue, I don't know because HC is not available in the free version (at least not as a menu option).
Someone posted a thread using TMPGenc as a work-around solution for the RT error 9, but I don't TMPGenc because it ties up my PC far to long. Long encoding times is the same complaint I have against QUenc, but at least it works without error.
I've heard good things about HC's near-CCE quality and generally good speed, and that's the main reason why I purchased DVD-RB Pro--to use HC. I'm not opposed to paying for an encoder--If I had my choice I purchase CCE Basic. But I simply don't have the money and have bills that need paying first. I know--too much info. :o
P.S. I have over 30GB free drive space to work with after encoding and before the rebuild phase.
