Batch mode:always CCE?

[boombastic]

Sorry it's been already asked but i didn.t found it:i've got Windows Vista RTm,i selected "Run as Administrator" and tried also Copatibility mode set to Xp SP2 but anytime i start a batch procesing DVD-RB set the encoder to CCE even if i selected HC or QuEnc.
I don't have CCE so i cannot encode in batch mode.
Can someone help me?

It sets the encoder to whatever was selected at the time you saved the project file.

Thanks,i didn't save the project,i thought it was enough for me to select all the parameters and then click add to store the job in the queue.
Now i've got a second problem:after the preparation phase,before to lunch the encoder(HC) Rebuilder hangs and nothin happens for a lot of minute.It doesn't lunch the encoder.
I set all the compatibility options as said before and disabled the Windows Defende.
Any help?

Post your REBUILDER.INI file and lets have a look at your config.

This is a little bit confusing, you've said It doesn't lunch the encoder. now you say, there are dvd files. :confused:

If you're still running in batch mode, there's only one setting which might interfere. You have "skip prepare phase in batch mode" selected. This will ONLY work, if you manually run the prepare phase first before you save your project. If your are starting from scratch untick "skip prepare phase in batch mode" under 'File'.

By the way i selected Output to iso image according to your ini, no you haven't. ;)

Sorry for being a little confusing...
Just because it didn't lunch the encoder neither in batch mode nor in normal mode and it hangs up, i forced DVD-RB to close and then reopened and made the encode and rebuild phase manually.But, before hitting the Rebuild button ,i select the option Output to iso image but it doesn't create the iso file.

The thing to remember is that the project file contains all the settings at the time you saved it -- including whether or not to output to an ISO. You probably set that switch after you saved the project... which wouldn't make it effective during the batch encode.

Thanks for your help.
Just to summurize my problems and not consider the errors i made and later i understood,now what i experiment is:

1)i set all the parameters,particulary HC as encoder, save the project,then i click on Batch Processing,i click on the button "add"
and select the project just saved.
I click start:in the log window i immedetely see "Cce encoder" and infact,after the first phase DVD-RB tells me that ther is no CCE configured and stops.

2)Normal mode:i set all the parameters (always HC as encoder),dvd-rb complete successfully the first phase and then hangs up.I force it to shutdown than i reopen it and click on the rebuil button to make a sort of "two mode encode"(=encode+rebuild,i read about this possibility somewhereelse on this forum).In this case the encode phase is successfull but no rebuild starts.
Anyway i click on rebuild and also this last phase is completed successfully.

Hope it is clear.
Remeber i'm using Windows Vista with UAC enabled;Windows Defender,Firewall and Nod Antivirus are disabled.
Thanks again for any help!

Sorry, but I just tested it multiple times, and it works correctly.

Also please note your INI shows these settings:

1. One Click mode is off.
2. "Skip Prepare" is turned on.
3. Output to ISO is not selected.

Are you positive you are saving an loading the same project file? Also -- the settings in the project file WILL NOT SHOW when you load the project into the batch processor. They also won't be set AFTER running the batch process. The settings are ONLY EFFECTIVE during the actual batch run for the project. So don't expect to add a project into the batch processor and see it's settings. The only way you can see them is to load the project itself into DVD-RB.

Please note that several thousand other people are using the batch processor regularly and if this was a problem it would definitely have been reported by others as well.

2. Skip prepare is turned off.
IMHO it's on. ;)

Edit: You've seen it already. :D

[jdobbs]

Typo. ;)

[boombastic]

Sorry but i made several tries so i'm not sure anymore of which encode the rebuilder.ini file refers to.I'm going for another,clear, try;let'see what happens...In the mean times i'm going to read some documentation and faqs....!

[boombastic]

After some test i must say:

sorry for wasting your time!!!

In normal mode i used HC and CCE SP2 and everything went ok.

The same happened in batch mode.
I don't understand what has changed from yesterday but that's it:your app works correctly, me not!
Again:

sorry for wasting your time....don't even answers me now,go and keep on developing this wonderful app!!!

[jdobbs]

Not a waste... it's all a learning experience! :)
