RB-Opt v0.23 BETA a tool to change titles bitrate, CCE parameters and AVS scripts.

[Fishman0919]

I'm running Win XP Pro sp1a

DVD-RB .45
Avisynth 2.54
decodefix100 (MPEG2Dec3dg.dll)

If this helps

Thanks to Fishman0919 and DnGermany for pointing that bug.
It's fixed for next release (in a couple of hours).

Sorry but Thank You....

I get the "an unnamed file not found" error on both W2K and XP.
RB-Opt looks promising so far though.

Suggestion: Shouldnt the title names reflect the VTS_# instead? Like, I have this episodic disc where I wanted to cut down the extras VTS_5 but its Title3 in RB-Opt and I had to guess that by looking at the title video size %.

Lab-One just upped the new version.
link to v0.4
I fixed the "unnamed file not found" error (I hope), and added VTS number indication.

Added a new dialog box to change every cell bitrate (example: to lower end credits bitrate if they are in a single cell).
Added also an experimental "cell view" (plays the .avs with windows mediaplayer).

Wow that was fast

Yep it works now for me. I changed VTS_5 and hit save and the BAK files were created and the INF and ECL updated.

Fine

Another update, for better size control.
Added preview also in main window.

Link is not working

[lab-one]

thats odd. right click and select save target as. that seems to work.

Fixed a bug introduced in v0.5:
loading a second Rebuilder.inf in the same session caused wrong bitrate displayed.
Much improved slider control behaviour.

The program now does what was in my mind at the beginning:
change Vob-ID bitrates
change single cell bitrate
cell preview

As there are many "error 9" for users with halfD1 & half bitrate, it could be useful to change the bitrate of the single frames cell (which goes too low and could be the cause of the error).
HalfD1/Half bitrate often cause undersized results: DVD-RB could be used to force an oversize to compensate (anyway I suggest to not set to half bitrate in DVD-RB at current stage, and to change with RB-Opt).

The interface should be better (my reference is always dvdshrink...) Maybe a treeview in place of the combo box would help. Maybe.
Development stopped for a while (if I don't find bugs to fix).

Thanks for this great program.

Possible bug:

1. When trying to tweak the last few cells (usually the end credits) of a vob, the auto check box of the 1st cell also get unchecked which prevents this cell from receiving any addition bitrate from the given away bitrates of the credits?

2. Some movies get distributed over a few (2 or 3) vobID, so when you lower the bitrate of the end credits only the vobID cells with the end credits get the addition bitrate from the given away bitrates of the credits.

For example: a movie is distributed over vobID1 and vodID2, credits are in vobID2. Before lowering credits cells bitrate - vobID1 cells & vobID2 cells ~ 70% bitrate of original. After lowering credits cells bitrate - vobID1 cells ~ 70% & vobID2 cells (except credits cells) ~ 78% bitrate of original. Is there a way you can distribute the given away bitrates of the credits over vobID1 and vobID2 so that vobID1 cells ~ 74% & vobID2 cells (except credits cells) ~ 74%. Hope this makes sense?

Thanks again

I'll check this. Hope for a fix tomorrow.

This is a bit harder to tweak. A title can be split in two (or more) VobID. Usually the split point is at the layer break.
At this time you should manually upper VobID1 bitrate, and then lower end credits cell, to have all movie cells with the same reduction. It's a bit trial and error.
I think the program should read the original .ifo to understand how a title is splitted, but I have never looked at this.

I'm glad you find this program useful.

Thanks for the update

Any chance on my 2 request being fixed soon?

thanks again

Am I wrong, or there is only another request?
I think to insert some code to "group" some VobID's, so they're treated as one. It's the simplest way to treat movies distributed over a few (2 or 3) VobID.

[blueboyec]

robot,

That is the one.

Thanks again for this cool program.

New version v0.7 allows to join Vob-IDs, so you can replicate the real structure of the film.
If you use the tweak cell option to lower end credits bitrate (for example), all the cells of the film will benefit from the extra space gained, if you join all the VobIDs of the film. If you don't use this option, only one part of the film will benefit from the extra space.

For example, The Matrix Revolutions - R2.
After removing foreign menus and all other stuff, Rebuild gave me a reduction of 69,19%.
Tweaking the last cell of the film with the credits to a bitrate 935 Kbist/sec, the film has a reduction of 73,1%
Almost a 4% gain

I hope the interface is getting better.

If the movie has a lot of segments--such as 291, RB-opt crashes.

This looks like a great addon for RB, great work!
