Memoryleak in DVDRebuilder 1.04 pro (and following?)

[dymas]

Hello guys. I found nothing about this issuse using the searchfunction.

I created a DVD-9 on my own (some music and concertvideo stuff) which was a bit oversized so I used Rebuilder 1.04 + CCE 2.67 to reencode it. Rebuilder did a great job on most of the movies but got stuck at one of them. It was around 1,5gb big and rebuilder splitted it up into about 280 seqs!

Encodingprocedure took about 8 hours on MT30 with 512mb but than I had to cancel the "rebuild"-process after 48hours (!). I noticed that rebuilders useage of memory got enormous! Beginning with 20-30mb it sucked away about 10mb with every new seq! Tried it out on 3 different pcs (mt30 512mb, made it to seq 208, 2x AthlonMP 2,4ghz with 2gb got stuck at seq 180 and on an AMD64+ with 1gb I canceled the process at seq 210 cause rebuilders memoryusage was about 600mb at this time and with 10 mb more each time, he would never make it).

After 3 days I had to shrink the messed up movie. It was a christmaspresent and I had no more time :/

Well... first of all you should edit your post to remove the f@#§ed word... this is forum doesn't have a minimum age requirement :)

What was the Authoring program used with that DVD? Have you tried with another one?

I used dvd lab pro but the problem is not the source. to seq 70 everything was fine and fast but then the process slowed down and became even slower with every seq. each seq was only 60-300 frames (!) big.

Please follow what Rockas has said and edit your first post to remove the profanity.

I use DVD-REBUILDER from before the 1.00 PRO version, and NEVER experencie memory problems !!!

I easily set 5 DVD in batch and let the PC work 36 hours ore more when using heavy resource intensive filters.

I have 1 GB memory, which is needed for CCE if you have also some background processes running (norton, spyware scanners e.g.), because CCE can claim few 100's MB's of memory.....

I don't know what youre source is looking like.

But a segment in DVD-RB is always the cell in DVD-REMAKE-PRO.

So if you load youre NOT PREPROCESSED source into DVD-REMAKE-PRO (DVD-REMAKE, try trial) you can see what CELLS are procsent. You can also use a lot of freeware tools out there I suppose like IFOEDIT. PGCEDIT, VOBEDIT, to get info about this.

Segments, so cells, of a few drames are normally not seen (at the end there is sometimes one) but are seen in COPY PROTECTED DVD'S !!!

But not halfways however, then they are in the beginning and contain unreferenced material that can KILL DVD-RB or let encoders do strange things because these cells doens't have 'compliant' info !!!


So first:

1) Wat it copy-protected (used DVD-FAB or ANYDVD for the rip ?)
2) Load it in a tool of preference and show cell info, this is basically DVD-RB's pro SEGMENT.
3) Give some more info on the source (title, region).
4) DVDSHRINK works in ANY case I tried, that's no garantuee the source is OK !!

5) Make sure youre HARDWARE is OK !! This means NO OVERCLOCKING and a basic system (hardware) test. Most encoders like CCE are very demanding and will crash or behave strange when system is not 1000% stable......

6) Try to use RB-OPT. After the PREPARE step, you can use it to show cells and framecount in each cell, as seen by DVD-RB.


Finally, I NEVER HAVE HAD ANY MEMORY ISSUES WITH DVD-RB-PRO !!!!
Neither I have had any issues with CCE 2.67.0.10 !!

Also the DVD's are self-authored. I think maybe you used some kind of auto-chapter function so too many chapters are inserted, and each chapter has at least 1 cell (= 1 segment).

The problem is, I never have had a DVD with 280 segments......

Even more, I think 99 chapters is the MAX for a programm chain.

So if there are more chapters, the DVD is sinmply NOT COMPLIANT !!!

And DVD-RB-(PRO) wants compliant stuff, otherwise JDOBBS will not support it.... (it would be a never ending story in that way).

So I think you created a NON COMPLIANT DVD, and thenm there it just stops.
