The 'Wish List' [merged]

[k2002rahmani]

ok, instead of changing the default's mapping, how about if only one track is left for all selections to map to it?

[Digga]

I would like to see the "Shutdown at REBUILD completion" in the file menu so that it can be enabled after the one-click process is started.that would be very usefull if it could be added, yes.

[SpazzHH]

that would be very usefull if it could be added, yes.

That's already been added to the Pro version. Check the "Mode" Menu.

[Digga]

That's already been added to the Pro version. Check the "Mode" Menu.yep... silly me... (I guess you mean file menu here though).

[k2002rahmani]

also, remove unreferenced audio/subpictures option under settings would be nice.

[jdobbs]

[Removed this response] I misunderstood the post and answered incorrectly.

[k2002rahmani]

also, i have a weird idea for batch that really is just a laziness helper, but after batch is done making all isos, perhaps it can call the Imgburn or DVD Decrypter to burn all of the DVD's? Like insert blank DVD 1 insert blank DVD 2 etc....

[laserfan]

jdobbs you are paranoid, and I am anal--I like to save my Rebuilder logs in case I find a problem in the future. It would be nice if the log file showed the Source Path it's working with. :)

[m1ckran]

I know it's already possible to select an alternative subtitle default, but it would be nice if we could also "hide" or "show" the subtitle if we want to, regardless of the dvd player's configuration, like we can with DVD Shrink.

This would be very handy for people like me, who prefer to make movie-only backups.

:thanks:

I'm using the latest pro version but while encoding the mode and setting dropdown menus are disabled (grayed out) as well as the two shutdown options under file menu...
so where exactly can one change this option while processing?

afaik, you can't... you can only check this option before you do anything.

i agree, being able to enable this option while DVD-RB is working would be nice.

I would like to see the option to drag and drop the .RBD files into the batchprosess window. In my case I always make 10 -20 movies ready for batch mode, and it is a bit time consuming (and annoying) to press the add button and double click the .RBD file so many times in a row. I'm a bit lazy, you know.: ;) :thanks:

[k2002rahmani]

ON post #201, I discussed the Audio Remapping. I think a good idea would be a "Leave (Default Dolby 5.1) Audio #1 and map all other selections to it" that way, especially because every time, I leave only the single track, and English tracks with 2.1 I always disable, even though no option exists to automatically remove them.

[Rumbah]

I have a request.
Could you please implement to only put the iso file in the output folder and not the VIDEO_TS folder and the iso file?
Because I have an extra partition for the image to burn (if the image gets fragmented, my HDD isn't fast enough to burn at 16x) that is only 4.5GB. I set this as an output folder as it is too small for the Video_TS folder and the image. Because of that I have to copy the image to the partition and thattakes some time.

I hope it's not that difficult to implement.

[lantern]

Would it be possible to implement a "fast forward" in the preview/edit window?

[FredThompson]

Support for 2 scripts; one for progressive segments, one for interlaced segments.

[lantern]

Seems like my "fast forward" is in the beta preview/edit window by using the slider! Thanks JDobbs! How about the ability to stop the ability to pause/stop the slider?

Once again, thank you very much for the fantastic software!

[jdobbs]

I'll have to look at the pause... right now you can pause by dragging the slider. It will not restart play until you release the mouse button.

[Digga]

it would be nice if DVD-RB could memorize if one of the shutdown options is ticked when it is closed (as it does for all other settings).
that way I wouldn't have to remember to always tick it again if I encode movies overnight.

[Rippraff]

it would be nice if DVD-RB could memorize if one of the shutdown options is ticked when it is closed (as it does for all other settings).
I like it the way it is.
I don't want my machine shuts down during important work only because I forgot to untick that option.

if you are actually working the moment when it want to shut down there still is the countdown where on could cancel.
if you're not present then it would suck, yes.

[jdobbs]

I think if I'm going to err... it should be on the side of caution. Lost work is a helluva' lot more important to me than a few watts at 11 cents a kilowatt hour.

:cool:

:cool:probably the wisest decision for all users.
if you could have a look at the grayed-out-issue posted in post #210 (and discussed in some previous posts) I would still let you have your extra karma points for today ;)

edit: ATM (summer) it's more about noise than anything else that bothers me with my PC running at night.
for everyone that might have the same 'problem' there are lot's of external apps that can shut down your computer, like e.g. SDTimer: http://www.winload.de/download/16968/Utilities/Systemprogramme/SDTimer-2.0.html

[HKT3020_1]

When using the beta viewer/editor it would be a good idea if DVD-RB was able to to use the extra space removed when sliding down percentage quality on certain scenes automatically. Something similar to an auto adjustment to spread the extra space evenly among the rest of the disc. I'm loving this new feature by the way, I just used it on 2046 and the backup looked gorgeous. :) Appreciate the hard work Jdobbs. :D

[m1ckran]

This is the "Wish List", right?

Well, I wish the current DVDRB Pro version number had kept pace with the old numbers, which would make it 1.09.5 by my reckoning.

Some time ago, I posted that I would redonate on v1.10, so I've had to keep my word and redonate!

But I still feel deprived of five updates!!! :D

I also wish jdobbs all the best and long may he continue.

[Digga]

Well, I wish the current DVDRB Pro version number had kept pace with the old numbers, which would make it 1.09.5 by my reckoning.I guess the new editor is enough to bump the version number to 1.10.
of course there could still be v1.094731 around, a shame that it isn't. really.

I also wish jdobbs all the best and long may he continue.:)

[jjaomni]

here is my wish for dvd builder. drag an drop support for the batch window or atleast multiple file selection of the batch file(project) files.
great software by the way.
p.s.
buy it if you like as they say..

[BobZhome]

I couple of things I would like to see added are:
1) to also include the DVD-RB version
Example:
- Versions :
-- CCE SP Version: 2.70.2.4
-- HC Version: 0.16.0.1
-- DGDECODE Version: 1.4.5
-- AVISYNTH Version: 2.5.5.0
-- DVD-RB Version: Pro 1.08.1

2) Add a display details: Help>Display DVD-RB Details
Example:
-Mode: CCE
-Backup Mode: Full Backup
-Steal Space from Extras: 10%
-Options: Matrix Default
-Filter Editor: Undot().Deen()
-Settings: VBR Passes: 6
-Menu Encode: NA

Jdobbs, Thanks for the great work you've done!


I just noticed that in the rebuilder.log/log window, it said this:
[00:01:09] Phase I, PREPARATION started.
- DVD-RB v1.10.3
- CCE 2.70.2.4 encoder selected.

And On Help>Display Versions, it listed this:
- Versions :
-- Rebuilder: v1.10.3
-- CCE SP Version: 2.70.2.4
-- ReJig Version: 0.5.0.5
-- QuEnc Version: 0.7.0.0
-- HC Version: 0.16.0.1
-- DGDECODE Version: 1.4.5
-- AVISYNTH Version: 2.5.5.0

Thanks Jdobbs :)

[humax]

maybe its possible that on the done dvd streams which are blanked can not chosen .

If i strip a language i can chose him on the dvd .
if i blank this stream with pcgedit it jumps to the language which is still available

Well its only a minute with pcgedit to disable this streams but maybe DVDRB can this in the future .

[jdobbs]

I left it like that on purpose. There are some good reasons why they should remain due to the IFO and menu formatting. I've seen problems reported with other "one click" packages that do that in the past (a search here at Doom9 will probably find some).

[humax]

No Problem

I just made a DVD with DVDRB und thought i could ask if it is possible to include in DVDRB.

[yesgrey]

Hi jdobbs,

Some time ago I have requested a way to stress less the hard disks, when we have more than one, and the solution was the creation of the working directory.

Now, I realize that it's not good enough, because it appears to be more passes than just three. It seems that the disks are still being stressed in two more steps: during the subsequent encoding passes if it's used more than one (the usual) and during the Updating NAVPACKS.

Here are all the steps using cce basic in two pass mode.
1. Prepare
2. Encode - pass1
3. Encode - pass2
4. Rebuild - create VTS_0x
5. Rebuild - Updating NAVPACKS

I think it would be great if you could create a mode when the user only give 2 paths: P1 & P2, each in a different disk, and that DVD-RB should use both for R/W automatically in each step.

Here is for the example above:
1. Read from P1 (it has the source) write into P2
2. Read from P2 write into P1
3. Read from P1 write into P2
4. Read from P2 write into P1
5. Read from P1 write into P2

It could be just an option in rebuilder.ini...

Please correct me if my step description is wrong... it seems to be the working process, but no one better than you really knows which is each step of reading/writing...

Sorry for the long post.:o

[Imperial Zeppelin]

Real "nice to have," nuances here. Couldn't find these, so I hope I didn't miss...

1. Both Versions: When selecting Output and Work destinations, DVD-RB defaults to last used settings, not starting off in "My Computer."

2. Pro: For those of us who have multiple DVD burners, it would be nice for DVD-RB to ask which burner it should use. Right now it seems that it starts up Image Burn and uses the last burner that Image Burn used.

[canuckerfan]

Using the new segment editor. When the quality of a certain scene is decreased, the gained space should be automatically spread across the rest of the scenes.

[Sharc]

canuckerfan:
If some automatisms for the spreading of gained space is implemented, the spreading should be optional (tickbox) on a per segment basis. Otherwise you may easily loose control when tweaking more than one segment.

My wish would be less ambitious:
Make the actual beta version of the segment viewer/editor a final version, and make the %-field editable, (complemetary to the "jerky" slider)

[Weirdo]

Ok, I'd like to have a "force shutdown" option, since many times some dodgy application won't close, and thus Dvd-RB will never shutdown the system.

And again, the ability to toggle shutdown on/off with non-batch projects.

Cheers

I second that too. Love to have them options!

[HKT3020_1]

I've been thinking this for awhile now so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to make a little request. Possibly a 2-click mode for DVD-RB. I find myself usually preparing and making minor adjustments to certain video segments, saving those changes and clicking encode. Like many here I run my encodes when I'm away from the PC so this would definitely make things a bit easier. :rolleyes:

[writersblock29]

@HKT3020_1

Rebuilder already has a two-click mode. While there's no button or option that specifically says "two click mode," you can simply click "Rebuild" after you've made all the changes you'd like to make to your project. Once DVD Rebuilder senses that there are no encoded files to put a disk together with, it'll start by encoding everything... then finish by constructing the new DVD in your output folder. You'll come back to your computer to find everything's done and waiting for you to burn.

[Rippraff]

There's already a 2-click mode since a very long time now.
Just push Rebuild instead of Encode. ;)
RB knows, whether encode phase is already done or not.

Edit: I hate these delays with email notification. :angry:
I just revieved the post of HKT3020_1...

Thanks fellas, picked up something new today. :D

[winny]

I would like to see the removal of angles from a disk to avoid the temptation of any preprocessing. Even manually blanking segments with the new editor would be a big improvement.

I'm having a private battle with the Star Wars disks. Using Vobblanker and Pgcedit to remove the foreign angles caused the scrolling intro screen to stutter ever so slightly, so I've decided to wait until dvdrb can sort them out.

[jdobbs]

I can do that. I've added it to "the list".

[Sharc]

The new feature in the beta viewer "Allocate saved space to Feature" is very convenient.

Suggstion for further improvement:
Replace "Allocate saved space to feature" by two menu items:
- "Fit Feature to Target"
- "Fit Extras to Target"

"Fit" means allocating saved space when below Target, OR reducing the size when "over Target" (red status line).

Perhaps something to be considered for a future release?

VobBlanker (http://jsoto.posunplugged.com/vobblanker.htm) has a little bug in this area.

@jdobbs - can I remind you of the "no demux/remux" if nothing is gunna be done to the main feature please?

You can easily create a working backup editing the disc with IfoEdit. You can use VobBlanker to alter the menus if you would like, I had done something similar to this before purchasing DvdReMake Pro. :p

[jonny_ftm]

I see some of my wishes were already mentioned, but never even answered. I can resume them in a small sentence:
Would be great if DVD-RB had a classic windows interface.
I know there's a plugin with that name, but it is only the name...
This should be easy to program, as it is the windows API.
Advantages are obvious:
1- full screen sized program window to see whole path when it is long, whole name in batch window...
2- resizable dialog boxes, to see whole paths and names
3- Multiple selection of batch jobs, instead of adding them one by one
4- Drag and drop function in batch window
5- Remember last selected folder when clicking "Source/Work/Destination folders dialogs". instead of popping up each time to the root

Using windows API, so windows explorer based interface, will lighten the code, and add automatically all these basic friendly and so useful options, avoiding to repeat 10 times the same things when dealing with many DVDs.

These are my most griefs about this so great and valuable proggy

[happycase]

Encode to HD-DVD and Blu Ray format. VC 1 or ACV support.
