a dvd structure that dvdrb can't handle?

[gizzin]

The dvd is hakkenden vol1. Which is 5.4gb in size so the bitrate should be relatively high. But when ran through dvdrb I get this.

I'm gonna let it run and see if that is the actually size it is aiming for. I'm using HC so it shouldn't take long I'll report back shortly. Regardless great work.

My guess would be that you probably have a huge amount of space used by LPCM (there's only 250MB available for the video on a DVD-5). I don't think you're going to get much of a picture with those kinds of reductions.

If it is LPCM -- look and see if there is an AC3 track that can be kept instead.

my brother was fiddling with the target sectors in the rebuilder.ini, I don't know why. Just figured that out now heh. So simple user error not dvdrb sorry about that jdobbs heh

Hah... I guess that just proves that the target sectors works. :D
