Hi,

I have been testing your fantastic tool for a while now and I have been very impressed with the results. I am currently doing a comparision of CCE, QuEnc and ReJig using Xmen 2 Disc 1 R2 as the source. In so doing I have noticed a wierd problem (which might be due to the original DVD) when CCE is used as the encoder.

The problem outlined below doesn't occur when using ReJig 0.5e. I am currently running a test encode with QuEnc 0.45 and I will post an update when it is complete.

EDIT - The Rebuild when QuEnc 0.45 is used as the encoder works correctly too, so this problem is only aparent with CCE SP.

Here is a listing of the VIDEO_TS from the original DVD, notice that VTS_02_0.VOB and VTS_03_0.VOB are zero bytes in length.

14,336 VIDEO_TS.BUP
14,336 VIDEO_TS.IFO
106,496 VIDEO_TS.VOB
77,824 VTS_01_0.BUP
77,824 VTS_01_0.IFO
61,294,592 VTS_01_0.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_1.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_2.VOB
977,911,808 VTS_01_3.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_4.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_5.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_6.VOB
55,449,600 VTS_01_7.VOB
14,336 VTS_02_0.BUP
14,336 VTS_02_0.IFO
0 VTS_02_0.VOB
20,015,104 VTS_02_1.VOB
16,384 VTS_03_0.BUP
16,384 VTS_03_0.IFO
0 VTS_03_0.VOB
214,302,720 VTS_03_1.VOB

.D2V and .AVS files are correctly created for VTS 1 and VTS 3, however they are never created for VTS 2 regardless of which encoder is selected. Is this correct? Maybe due to the 'small' size of VTS 2?

When the 'Rebuild' runs VTS 1 and 2 are correctly recreated, naturally VTS 2 is identical to the that on the original DVD as there is no transcoded/encoded .M2V to work from.

The real problem is this, VTS 3 is quite broken as it only comprises of the zero length VTS_03_0.VOB/.IFO/.BUP but not VTS_03_1.VOB.

16,384 VTS_03_0.BUP
16,384 VTS_03_0.IFO
0 VTS_03_0.VOB

All the .AVS scripts were successfully encoded into .M2V files. As I mentioned at the start, if I use ReJig 0.5e then VTS 3 is correctly recreated from the transcoded .M2V. All the .AVS and .D2V files playback in Media Player Classic. I am using DVD-RV 0.26, with current versions of all the other required software. I have "Dynamically Assign Cell Bitrates" enabled and the problem shows up in both one click and three click mode.

I hope this info is useful, thanks once again for a great tool and I look forward to its continued development :-)
