Most of the above post should look very familiar as it is mostly from DVD-RB's readme. I've just formated, linkified and tweaked it for the most part.
If you have any suggestions or corrections post them below. As we all know DVD-RB is evolving quickly but I will try and keep this up-to-date. EDIT 1: changed format to use Numbered Lists. I think it looks much better. I had to use the "quote" block near the end because it wouldn't let me nest lists. EDIT 2: added info on disc size requirements. Thanks luphy. EDIT 3: added link to Settings thread. EDIT 4: added Mounted ISO as preferred source method. Last edited by wmansir; 24th April 2004 at 14:43. |

Could you explain for total noobs like me when you would need/want to use the deinterlace option?
Thanks. And could you explain why DVDRB needs up to almost twice the space of the original source during its processing, and under what circumstances? What's it doing that it needs to create up to 16 or 17 gbs!? |

As for Deinterlace. There are only 2 reasons I can think of: 1. You plan to watch the resulting movie on a progressive display, like your computer, but you don't like your software player's on-the-fly deinterlacing. 2. It is said to improve compression. So if you have a low bitrate it might be worth it. I probably won't go into this too much in the Settings guide either, but will look for a good webpage to link to. As for space, it shouldn't need twice the space of the original, unless you count the source directory. The working path ALONE will need AT LEAST 9 GB in CCE mode. I haven't tried the other modes, so I can't say how much room they need. I'll have to look into it. EDIT: Looks like it is needed for ReJig mode, I will add this info to the guide.

Here's how much space you need:
1. Space enough for a copy of the DVD so you can decode, it up to ~9GB 2. Space enough for the info after the scans, tiny ~70MB 3. If you are using ReJig, space enough to demux the video, up to about ~8GB 4. Another up to ~4GB for the .M2V files created in reencoding. 5. Up to 4.38GB for the output VIDEO_TS directory. So in a worst case scenario using ReJig you'd need ~25.5GB. If you turn on "minimize disc space" (when it is enabled) you can get that down to 16GB. The best case (CCE or QuEnc) would be a mounted disc with a deencrypting driver. Then you would need about 8-9GB. Video processing just uses a lot of space! You should see what is needed when converting DV home movie to DVD (with CCE quality). Last edited by jdobbs; 13th April 2004 at 11:00. |

Very nice job, wmansir. Looks sharp and very readable. One of you ought to make it a stickie.

I stickied this for now. In order to keep the number of stickies reasonable, once other documents are up I will make One Stickie To Rule Them All! and link to the others.
Edit: to clarify, I meant DVD-RB related stickies. I'll leave mrbass's general stickies of course. |

Error message mystery
well, I've tried to test DVD Rebuilder but I haven't had any success.
I've gone through the preliminary steps (several times).....installing AviSynth2.54....installing MPEG2Dec3dg.dll in the Avisynth Plug-ins directory....installing CCE... and I end up in the same cul-de-sac every time, which is: I unzip DVD Rebuilder into a folder, and when I click on it I immediately get the error message : " Run-time error '5' Invalid Procedure call or argument " that's as far as I can get....I'm assuming I have some existing program in conflict, Or maybe it's because I still use W98 SE. Or maybe I live at the wrong latitude. Anyone have a clue? |

mpeg2dec ?!?!?
Hi there,
I use: newest version of rebuilder, CCESP with ECL 2.67 combined with all other (free) files downloaded from the Rebuilder-Homepage So I read the info about using the mpeg2dec3dg-file which is included in die dvd2avi-package. The Fileversion ist 1010. Working with that one I always get problems during the Encoding process. The whole process only takes 1 minute, then it goes to step 3 with the known error 0004. I looked around in the web and found at an italian board the info to try version 1.0 which is very old (2003) instead of the 1010. And it works fine. How could it be, that at the rebuilders page version 1010 ist recommended as to havent got the lost-frame-problem and it doesnt work and a old version does it? At rebuilders' is also told that versions after 1.02 are known to wont work with rebuilder. So that 1.00 I use seems to be the last one which does. Has it got the known lost-frame bug? Does anyone know why version 1010 doesnt want to work? Thanx for help. A big thanks to the author for making such a nice tool Best regards rob |

1.0.0.0 (from the file Decodefix100.zip) doesn't have the frame lose bug.
Before that it gets kind of sketchy because the project was dropped by the original author and then picked up by several different people who patched, improved, and ported it from AVS 2.0x to AVS 2.5x over the last couple of years. I'm glad Donald decided to pick it up and give his new releases a different name because Mpeg2Dec's version history is very convoluted. |
