More oversized output

[auldyin]

I too am having problems with consistently large file sizes.
Problem is, I'm very much a novice at this stuff so don't fiddle with any settings.

eg Ripped file size is 6.2GB
Mounted, its the same size (obviously)
Using RB Pro: File properties on the .iso shows size to be 4.6GB(4,945,459,200).....I have no idea why there is this discrepancy
and
Explorer shows file size to be 4,829,550.

Clearly, I cannot burn this to a 4.7GB DVD

I have replicated this and have similar problem with another of my movies.

Please remember that I'm at the limit of my knowledge here

Thanks

Done.
- Versions :
-- Rebuilder: v1.26.5
-- ReJig Version: 0.5.0.5
-- QuEnc Version: 0.7.2.0
-- HC Version: 0.21.0.0
-- DGDECODE Version: 1.4.5
-- AVISYNTH: 2.5.5.0

[blutach]

The only thing that looks awry is your avisynth version.

Reinstall avisynth. Or DVD Rebuilder (http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/).

And there's a bit going on here. Stealing space (which is giving you virtually no gain) as well as redistributing. After you have re-installed, try a run with no steal space or redist and see how that goes.

BTW: HCEnc is now at version 22

Hi,
I'm not sure how to reinstall Avisynth etc because the RB Pro package comes with them pre-installed.

Cheers

[blutach]

Not with 2.5.5, it doesn't. Do a complete uninstall and reinstall.

Or just DL and install 2.5.7 here - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57023&package_id=72557&release_id=366702

Regards

[Rippraff]

Reinstall avisynth. Or DVD Rebuilder (http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/).

Not with 2.5.5, it doesn't. Do a complete uninstall and reinstall.
To get rid of an old Avisynth version, auldyin needs to un- and reinstall Avisynth itself.
RB will never overwrite an existing version. ;)

Hi,
HCEnc is now at version 22

Anything I should be aware of for this upgrade?

Cheers

[blutach]

No - just get it from hank's site and change the name of the the exe to HCbatch.exe and copy it over the exisiting HCbatch.exe in the Encoders folder.

Regards

[auldyin]

Thanks guys!
I will do as you suggest when I get back after my days "toil".

Cheers

[auldyin]

Still getting oversized files. (6.3G reduced to 5.0G)
I think that I will uninstall everything, DL all required software and start from scratch...............does that make sense?

Cheers

[blutach]

Yes.

The log shows this:

- CCE encoder selected.

Shouldn't it say something like this:

- CCE 2.70.2.0 encoder selected.

Also, there isn't any version of CCE detected in the Versions part.

Just my two cents...

Hi,
Ripaholic,
he log shows this:

- CCE encoder selected.

Shouldn't it say something like this:

- CCE 2.70.2.0 encoder selected.

Also, there isn't any version of CCE detected in the Versions part.

Unfortunately we will never know if you are correct because I uninstalled and reinstalled everything BEFORE I read your post (the mystery remains). Thanks anyway.

However, the upshot is that all seems to be working fine, with file sizes appearing in the 4.2 - 4.3G range.

Many thanks for the help given as I would still have been messing about......in the dark!!

Now to try the RBOpt interface

[jdobbs]

The log shows this:

- CCE encoder selected.

Shouldn't it say something like this:

- CCE 2.70.2.0 encoder selected.

Also, there isn't any version of CCE detected in the Versions part.

Just my two cents...Yes. If it doesn't tell you what version it is -- it makes it very likely that the configuration is incorrect. There are several different flavors of CCE and they all use different ECL parameters. If DVD-RB can't get a version number from the file -- it usually means there is something wrong with the EXE file to be used.
