DVD rebuilder- choppy video

Hi guys,

I am having problem with shrinking "Queen: The greates hits, volume 1" with DVDRebuilder. The output (on the hard drive) looks horrible: half of the time the frames are skipping - it really looks like someone is playing Battlefield 2 on a very slow computer.

This is not the first time I use DVDRebuilder. All my other backups work fine.

I tried shrinking the same disc with CloneDVD and everything worked, except the fact that the quality was not too good.

Can somebody suggest me how to fix this?

Thanks in advance.

What did you use to play it back? There are lots of reasons why this could happen even with a perfectly good backup. Burn it to a disc and play it back on a standalone -- that's the only real test.

BTW, what audio are you keeping? If you're keeping LPCM you'll be extremely limited in what can be done with the output...

... if you are using a Software player make sure you don't have your HDD completly fragmented

Thank you for the replies.

I viewed the shrinked version with Intervideo WinDVD 7 and Power DVD 6. No matter which player I used, the result was the same- choppy video.

The hard dirve is not fragmented. As I mentioned before- everything works fine if I shrink this DVD with any other program (DVD shrink, CloneDVD).

I am keeping all audio tracks (including LPCM).

I just tried viewing the copy in the standalone player and it was choppy as well. Original plays fine though.

Reported bitrates were something like this: 4450, 2500, 1300

I am using DVD rebuilder professional with CCE SP.

Sorry, it was supposed to be: 4450, 1300, 2500

The size of this dvd is only 5 gb. Original bitrates are: 4765, 1390, 2605

you should see 0 difference between the source and the end product with that little change (only dropping 100 kbps).

is the source good? i cant imagine it is with a souce bitrate of 2605, thats really bad

The source quality is pretty good.

I have no idea why is this happening, but the output is normal when schrinking with DVD shrink and really choppy when using DVDRebuilder...

shirnk and rebuilder, as same many times, are completely different. they cannot be compared, they act the problem 2 different ways.

with a reduction percentage so small, and acceptable shrink output, you might as well use shrink.

I'll do that. I just wanted to figure out why wasn't DVDRebuilder working properly.

Thank you for your help.

I'll see if I can find it and give it a test run. Could you send your REBUILDER.INI to dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com so I can make sure I use the same settings as you?
