Oversizing for the first time

[urvieh]

Yep, that's what it is: DVD-RB Pro 1.01 has produced a 4.63 gb movie for the first time. I use HC. The dvd is "Cube". Can anyone confirm this, or is it a peculiarity of this title?

Do you use a TargetSectors setting?

[urvieh]

No, I just click on backup my dvd. :-) I'm not sure whether it's DVD-RB's fault or the one of HC's. Unfortunately I've just brought the original back to a friend of mine because I thought everything would turn out fine. So, no serious problem, but it might be interesting for the developers :-).

You mean the ones that designed the program for making legal backups of discs you own?

And what do you mean to say with this ?????

I even rent about 50 DVD's a month, and they are getted backuped if the movie is worth it......

Perfectly legal.........

In my country......

So what are you complaining about ??? or trying to make clear ??????

TO OFFER HELP (yep, mister SPAZZ, that's what the forum is about..):

A) Did you rip the DVD and was it protected with read-error ???

If YES, you have 'undefined material' in youre source, which DVD-RB can't handle because it's not a compliant piece of a VOB or muzed stream of any kind. Im my experience DVD-RB gives oversized output in most of these cases or is going to behave strangely......

B) What did you use to RIP ??? If you used DVD-FAB, the read-errors aren't brought to youre attention and that's why I don't use it....

C) The region 2 version of it was 'copy protected' and had a read-error based protection......


Awaiting youre answers....

Did you have OPV set by any chance? Also, are you using the version of HC that is shipped with DVD-RB or have you upgraded/downgraded?

It is a version of 0.15 with normal motion vector length (60). My Pioneer stand-alone wouldn't like 120.

There were no reading errors during ripping.

@SpazzHH: I would never have bought it. My pay-tv copy got corrupted although I had paid a high copyright fee when I bought the dvd-r. But thank you for keeping heads up.

In this case I just simply would just try another encoder shipped with DVD-RB and see if the output is right when used.

You can use minimum quality settings and optimze for speed, just to test.

If outputsize is ok, you know it has something to do with the HC-encoder or it's combination with DVD-RB.

I always use CCE SP 2.67xxxx and never have problems when there is pure DVD-compliant input for DVD-RB.
As mentioned if there are read-errors the will be filled with 'undefined' material and only then I get wrong outputsize and others strange things.
But I'm only using CCE, because I think it's still the best....

Well, it could be worth a try. Thanks for your thoughts.
