View Full Version : DVD with > 1000 stills, Rebuilder gets slower and slower?

Hi,

I attempted to recode a DVD with 3 TV episodes, 1185 stills, 157 short video clips and possibly other stuff yesterday (with Rebuilder 1.06 and CCE 2.50). The rebuilding phase aborted (after > 8 hours) with "00038 00007 -- error updating NAVPACK".

This error code was explained in another, a little bit heated conversation to mean that the user's PC was out of memory. I had Azureus running at my first attempt and that uses quite a lot of memory so I thought I'd try again without it.

I've now been monitoring the process a little bit during my second attempt. The encoding finished ok, memory consumption of CCE was about 700 MB (I have 1 GB RAM) at the final stages but there was no problem.

The rebuilding phase started ok with maybe 5 stills added to the vob every second. After that, it seems to get slower all the time. At still #270 it now takes around 12 seconds for each and every still. The memory consumption of Rebuilder.exe seems to be creeping up as well according to Windows Task Manager. At the beginning it was 20-30 MB. Now it is fluctuating between 100 and 150 MB. Let's see if the process finishes this time.

In any case, could there maybe be still some room for improvement in DVD Rebuilder's algorithms with this kind of a disc? Has anybody successfully re-encoded a DVD with such a huge number of stills and was there any problem?

I had one disk that had a blanked portion with DVDSHRINK (a still image).

This really gives problems as constant stills where produced and finally DVD-RB stopped with an error.

I think there is some limit to the number of stills that can be processed.
