D2SRoBa Plugin

You're surely right. Too fast around the corners.
Ok, I do a last go at it (beta4), and then I quit for the day.

Ok, I do a last go at it (beta4), and then I quit for the day.

ok, then I can beat it up while you get some sleep I expect our time of day is 7 or 8 hours different. Afternoon here. At time of this post is is approx 3:20 PM. Hey, its still "early" there. You still got time to hit Beta 6 No self respecting programmer needs more than a couple of hours sleep

Just finished LOTR:TTT and ended up with 3 filled disks a 80-MB third image, even though they should have been 3. Here is the log:

And the project file:

[Siku]

I'm using AVI2SVCD and I'm stucked with CCE encoding part. CCE starts normally but when D2SRoBa closes CCE first time, the GUI dissapears but the cctspt.exe still runs in the backround. Thus a new CCE window is not opened. You can see the EclCCE.exe and cctspt.exe running in the taskmanager. So D2SRoBa does not close the CCE properly. With earlier versions it worked just fine.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a D2SRoBa issue?

@r6d2: I interpret that as you are getting 4 images, and the last one is 80mb - i.e it was oversized. Strange - all the number looks perfect to me. I.e: you encoded with the total bitrate (1749 + 160) = 1909, whereas D2S computed (1797 + 112) = 1909.

Hmm. I don't update the project .d2s file to reflect the bitrate changes in audio, so bbMPEG thinks it muxes with a lower audio bitrate than it really does. Could that make a difference for muxing overhead? I would think not, because it does that all the time with the video part. To make sure, I'll update the .d2s file before the recover.

@siku: Thanks, Siku. Did 2.6.0 beta3 work for you as well?

No, I get 3 images, the last only 80-Mb size. I checked the muxed files and the are wrong. They are not continuous, they overlap! Audio is in synch, though.

I agree with you, since bbMPEg sort of analyses before actually muxing. But I cannot think of any other explanation that the project file. Please also fix the Movie info and other stuff to reflect correct audio...

Yep, 2.6.0 beta 3 worked fine. 2.7.0 beta1 was the first version with this problem.

[tylo]

Ok, I'll do the CCE termination as in 2.6.0, and update audio bitrate in the project files if audio bitrate was changed. --> beta5.

I manually fixed the 2 112 mentions to 160 on the D2S file and the recover worked great!

[DDogg]

Reporting in sir Did a episode of 24. Set disk size as 400. Ended up with 2 mpgs, one 404,258 k and second 436 k.

/ADD: Given that I had fixed bitrate for audio chosen and the sizing pass was executed, why do you think it was oversized?

[Trahald]

havent tried the new version yet. prolly give it a whirl tomorrow.. started experimenting with "kvcd". cant have 2 x factors at the same time. anywho.. i changed the sleep, 3000 (i think thats what it was) line before d2sr loads eclcce the first time to 30000 ... works like i charm ( i woke up to the 'sorry, only one instances of eclcce" message again.. .. so i did a little tweaking ). thankfully RB is removing that from the next version of eclcce so i'll just manually add the extra sleep time when i try new betas for now.

[telemike]

How soon before a stable version is ready? Which previous version should I use when I need to do a backup?

[DDogg]

@TeleMike - Beta 4 is working well. Maybe uncheck the do audio thing until beta 5. Since 128 is the minimum most would want on a 1cd encode you may not end up using it anyway so just set that in d2s like you used to do. If you are uncomfortable with that then use beta 2 of the previous version. Just make sure your time bands are set properly.

@tylo, just finished a batch operation and all was well. One encode again had a very small second mpg created. tylo, I think you are real close to getting a rest. That small secondary file is the only thing I have found with beta 4. Great job! Note I have not yet tried a dvd2dvd encode.

[tylo]

Uploaded beta6:
The dynamic audio was maybe stretching the plugin too far. But hopefully, the beta6 will do the job also when it comes to recover.

@w00kie: I've put in a 5 sec sleep before the second start of CCE - I think that should be enough.

@DDogg: I'm clueless on your '24' episode encode. Almost seems like a D2S bug - can you verify that audio came out 128 kbps.

Just make sure your time bands are set properly.

This is one of the things that shouldnt be needed anymore - at least not for CD sizes at 740-900. You can verify it yourself fast by:
- breaking the plugin after the first sample has started,
- then restart plugin and change num CDs within the correct time band,
- recover at video, then break the plugin after the first sample again:

Check out this: (This gave an amazing 1274 kbps encode of the 2nd Harry Potter movie)

- Using Max bitrate=2532 for auto samples (adj. for 4 CDs)

I think that auto samples must be done with max=(adjusted for the min. audio BR). Otherwise the plugin may select a different number of CDs than needed.

I don't have time to elaborate on this now, but please give it a thought. I think you'll get it.

I ran a test with beta6 using AVI2SVCD and it worked like a charm. There were no issues whatsoever. Thank you.

tylo, the plugin does not fix the corruption with the besweetlater.bat file, contrary to your previous post. Even if the plugin is started, audio is unchecked, when d2sroba launches d2s the besweetlater.bat is still there. I hope you can check this, in fact I hope there may be a way to restore all settings corrupted by the plugin. I can fully understand your need to change some settings, but not resetting them to what they were before the plugin changed them is a trifle intrusive, imo. Hope you can think about this.

Other than that it seems to be working well.

It finally seem to work well for me now. Last two of mine encodes worked exactly as I wanted.
@DDogg: There is no corruption regarding the BeSweetLater.bat. I've tested this very thorough. If you have exited the plugin from the tray (before the sample encodings has started), The BeSweetLater.bat will be there if you open D2S alone. This cannot be avoided.

To restore besweet.exe:
Alt. 1) Start the plugin + pressing GO in the plugin GUI. D2S starts. Then either exit D2S or continue as normal.

Alt. 2) Set BeSweet back manually in D2S.

Both will work.

No problem with that as I can completely understand how that is unavoidable.

Alt. 1) Start the plugin + pressing GO in the plugin GUI. D2S starts. Then either exit D2S or continue as normal.

Nope. Did exactly that. Ran plugin, made sure audio was unchecked, pressed go, checked and saw BSlater.bat still there, exited d2s, reran d2s and besweetlater.bat is still there. Further, I certainly would think if you run the plugin, select no audio and then press go that by all means the besweet path should be restored to normal. Do you disagee? Obviously 2 would work but I think that would be a very bad mannered thing indeed.

No matter what I try, I can not get d2sroba to fix/ change the besweetlater.bat back to what it is supposed to be.

As said, other than that, it is awesome.
