DVD Rebuilder (CCE One-Click Beta) Bug Reports

[Stive]

First Post. Had to wait five days...and have been almost glued to the pc reviewing all three threads. Made donation five days ago also 'cause I knew this program would eventually work for all.

Anyway, I did a no no, and stripped out the movie with DVDShrink (no compression) to obtain full quality for the movie. While the coding looks great, I have the stuttering(?) at the chapter points. I'm redoing the dvd with the full compliment of files *not just movie only) to see if the stuttering goes away.

I used: DVDrbv26, DVDShrink 3b5, CCE2.5, Avisynth 2.54, Ecl 1.7. The movie was LOTRings2.

Has anyone been successful in using DVDShrink, then DVDRB?

[loosenut]

Version 0.26
CCE 2.50
Eclcce 2.67.0.23 (1.7b)
Lion King 3, Love Actually
Error #0003 and #0004 (exactly like Raymongo)
That happens whether I use CCE or Rejig, at same point.

Up to now (from V. 018) everything worked as it was expected, except with 'hickups' at chapter points.

I have a problem with Rebuilder 0.26, it wont encode. I am using CCE Trial with ECLCCE but when using METHOD TWO and press the "Encode" button CCE lauches with "ITEM.ECL" as the title, but nothing happens there are nothing in the CCE window and Rebuilder uses 100% CPU. I left it like this for 3 hours but nothing was created.

Any ideas or advice?

Thanks
Tom Are you sure you pointed your CCE path to eclCCE? If you point it to CCE Trial directly you will get exactly what you've described -- because the parameters aren't recognized.

I have. I used it to strip the audio and the IFO entries for the audio (DVD RB leaves these in).

I'm still getting the skipping/stutter between chapters with DVD-RB 0.26. I ripped the VOB files for the Matrix Reloaded to my HD, then just pointed DVD-RB at em. The only thing I stripped out was the french audio. The prepare, encode, and rebuild procedures went just fine, no errors at all.

I have a Sony standalone DVD Player and I noticed in-between chapters it seems to freeze for just a second.

This occurs during normal playback of the DVD, not during ff/rw.

In using DVDShrink(no compression) with Instantcopy 7 I found that it would have serious sizing issues if I used the "set start/end frames" feature in DVDshrink. Apparently some info is lost.

[compusion]

1. DVD-R Version: 0.26
2. CCE SP 2.67.00.23
3. eclcce 1.8
4. DVD Rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0003. Process must abort.
5. Let me know if you need the "Copy Status to Clipboard"

Thanks. I didn't get than fancy though. All I did was strip out the main movie title with it's audio/subtitles and applied no compression. Perhaps the other weird thing was, I could not burn the resulting DVDRB files with nero (well, it gave me a "non-dvd compliant error" and asked if I wanted to burn anyway). I did not get the nero error straight from DVDShrink (except for the obvious that it would be to big). I was able to burn the DVDRB files with CloneDVD2 (no burning error noted). However, I still have the chapter stutter when playing.

Hi,

I have been testing your fantastic tool for a while now and I have been very impressed with the results. I am currently doing a comparision of CCE, QuEnc and ReJig using Xmen 2 Disc 1 R2 as the source. In so doing I have noticed a wierd problem (which might be due to the original DVD) when CCE is used as the encoder.

The problem outlined below doesn't occur when using ReJig 0.5e. I am currently running a test encode with QuEnc 0.45 and I will post an update when it is complete.

EDIT - The Rebuild when QuEnc 0.45 is used as the encoder works correctly too, so this problem is only aparent with CCE SP.

Here is a listing of the VIDEO_TS from the original DVD, notice that VTS_02_0.VOB and VTS_03_0.VOB are zero bytes in length.

14,336 VIDEO_TS.BUP
14,336 VIDEO_TS.IFO
106,496 VIDEO_TS.VOB
77,824 VTS_01_0.BUP
77,824 VTS_01_0.IFO
61,294,592 VTS_01_0.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_1.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_2.VOB
977,911,808 VTS_01_3.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_4.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_5.VOB
1,073,739,776 VTS_01_6.VOB
55,449,600 VTS_01_7.VOB
14,336 VTS_02_0.BUP
14,336 VTS_02_0.IFO
0 VTS_02_0.VOB
20,015,104 VTS_02_1.VOB
16,384 VTS_03_0.BUP
16,384 VTS_03_0.IFO
0 VTS_03_0.VOB
214,302,720 VTS_03_1.VOB

.D2V and .AVS files are correctly created for VTS 1 and VTS 3, however they are never created for VTS 2 regardless of which encoder is selected. Is this correct? Maybe due to the 'small' size of VTS 2?

When the 'Rebuild' runs VTS 1 and 2 are correctly recreated, naturally VTS 2 is identical to the that on the original DVD as there is no transcoded/encoded .M2V to work from.

The real problem is this, VTS 3 is quite broken as it only comprises of the zero length VTS_03_0.VOB/.IFO/.BUP but not VTS_03_1.VOB.

16,384 VTS_03_0.BUP
16,384 VTS_03_0.IFO
0 VTS_03_0.VOB

All the .AVS scripts were successfully encoded into .M2V files. As I mentioned at the start, if I use ReJig 0.5e then VTS 3 is correctly recreated from the transcoded .M2V. All the .AVS and .D2V files playback in Media Player Classic. I am using DVD-RV 0.26, with current versions of all the other required software. I have "Dynamically Assign Cell Bitrates" enabled and the problem shows up in both one click and three click mode.

I hope this info is useful, thanks once again for a great tool and I look forward to its continued development :-)

1. DVD-R Version: 0.26

3. Using eclCCE? Y (1.8)

@ JDOBBS / RB
With the configuration above I also get the same dormant CCE window as TOP_CAT - and yes the title of the CCE window is just item.ecl.

Didn't use to happen with v0.24 and CCE 2.66.01.07 and ECLCCE 1.4b.

Tried swapping back to earlier DVD-RB version and CCE via ECLCCE but got the same results. So maybe a ECLCCE problem?

hmmm - just tried with ECLCCE 1.4b and it's still happening }:-<

My DVD-RB status reads:
Phase II ENCODING started. Time: 01:49:45

No, One Click mode, all settings default except VBR_Passes=4

Would enabling "Dynamically assign cell bitrates" possibly help?

Is this something I should try? or something that would cause the sizing problem?

FYI. On my preshrunk dvd, using DVDShrink to get movie only contents, the ifoedit did not fix the chapter studder either as a play through or if I ff to the chapter. I'm still waiting for full dvd encode to see the problem is my dvd player or how i used dvdshrink.

Would the AMD processor be a problem? I've noticed in other applications there need to be some work arounds or added features.

Thanks! Both. If you have set this value and are oversized it is the cause. If you are oversized and haven't set this value -- you can make it smaller.

But... My calculations should be close -- I get worried when I see output that is too large when using CCE...

[Acerjen]

Jdobbs,

Yesterday I left a message about a glitch in the video and you asked if it was in the original. No it is not. That is why I was curious about what the settings should be for video that contains mostly progressive frames but has some interlaced mixed in. It is at the interlaced frames that I see this video glitch. Any ideals?

Also, I have heard of pulldown but what exactly is it and why does it need to be performed? And when? Could this be my problem?

It is on this type of video only, with the interlaced frames mixed in. I did X-Men 2 Disc 1 today and it plays fine. It is 100% progressive frames.

I would greatly appreciate any ideals you or anyone else has.

Thanks again for a great tool. Later.

[dave88]

On investigating my sizing problem with "Apocalypse Now Redux" (202 min) I have found that DVDrb 026 calculates the reduction at 59.3% If I load the same files into DVDShrink it calculates the necessary reduction at 52% This would account for the result coming in at 5 gig.
Is there any way to set the reduction % manually?

DVDRB 0.26 - CCE 2.67.00.23 (trial) - CCE ECL 1.8

Thanks

[robw]

Code has been added to include audio selections when saving/opening project

Thank you for fixing this in v0.27! That will help in batch file processing video quality.

I think that is what jdobbs was asking you earlier about using the "targetSectors". If you look a few pages back in the thread (either this one or the thread on suggestions) you'll see you can manually set the size. I've never used it, but I believe you open the dvdrb ini file in notepad and add a line.

[djan]

Wow jdobbs, you corrected a so big bug in this new version. I explain myself : I tried to backup a movie, the resulting first cell was empty. I mean, there was no video, nothing. But the gotten space on the HD was ~100MB. It happened only with CCE and only on the first cell. QuEnc and ReJig worked well. But now, it works very well. Again thx for your big work on this jewel.

I would'nt know where to begin, would I just subtract the difference between the two ie 5 gig - 4.35 (I assume this is default) = .65 gig too big, so target size = 3.7 gig ? how would I express this in sectors?

[troy]

I tried to back up "holes" again and this time the file size was not 2.2gb but was 3.87gb with dvdrb .26. The original dvd is 7.16 gb which includes extras and previews. As I stated before this is probably an unfair movie to do at this early stage because there are 3 vts sectors. Well when I put the dvd in my pioneer dvd stand alone I get a blank screen with only red on the bottom. When I press menu I get the main menu and everything seems to go good from there. Then the movie just stopped at the end of a chapter. I pressed play and the movie played the rest of the way ok.

[troy]

Sorry In my previous post I stated I have rb .26 when I was using rb .25.

[robw]

@troy
that sounds exactly like what happens when the program can's find the mpeg2dec3.dll (or mpeg2dec3dg.dll) file. I was having this problem early on. The best way to fix it is to look at your registry. Here's how you do this

1. run regedit from the start menu
2. search HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for AviSynth
3. look at the entry for plugindir2_5
4. your mepg2dec3.dll file should be in this directory. If it's not either change the directoy location in the registry or move the mped2dec3.dll file to the indicated location.

once you've done this the red bars will be a thing of the past! If you've never used regedit, ask for more help. This is your solution.

Update: I reauthored with DVDshrink (no compression) movie only and tried again, now DVDrb calculates a reduction of 52.2% this looks about right (it's encoding now) so something on the full disk is tripping up DVDrb's calculations.

Thanks for the awesome tool :)

Update: The DVDShrink Reauthored copy compressed fine and came in at 4.32

Hi,

My QuEnc 0.45 encode and rebuild completed overnight and I have update my original post too.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=466682#post466682

In short, the partial rebuild only occurs when using CCE SP, but when ReJig 5.0e or QuEnc 0.45 are selected all the Video Title Sets get rebuilt correctly.

I see 0.27 is available so I am off to play some more ;-)

Just did Stuart Little 2 NTSC with DVD-RB 0.26. I got this message during Rebuild when it tried to process V01007800003001.m2v. I was 0.6% in rebuild stage.

"DVD Rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0003. Process must abort."
When I viewed V01007800003001.m2v, all I saw was a still clip of a NullSoft Video logo and my file was at 25,974 KB.

I'm using DVD-RB 0.26
CCE SP Ver 2.66.01.07 (Trial)
EclCCE 1.7b
AVISynth 2.54

What's the difference between Error #0003 and #0004? Also, what is the difference with other buffer overflow #s?

[VampHuntD]

Yo Jdobbs,
First off, this program kicks a whole lotta ass, makes life much easier for back ups. Secondly having a very very small issue but I'm curious to see if it's happened to others. Using these

DVD-RB .26
CCE 2.67 trial
Avisyth 2.54
and eclcce 1.7

Everything works in the process, but after I burned it on a dvd-rw it freezes at some points. It continues in about 30-60 seconds and goes on, so it could just be my dvd player (which is an xbox) but I've never had another backup do this. Has anyone else had this issue?

Could it be it has multiple angles? At least for the R2 PAL version, there's a short multi-angle part at the beginning of the main movie. If so, that could be it because Rebuilder doesn't support interleaved cells yet.

[2COOL]

Using my 0.26 files in my D2VAVS folder, I used v0.27 on them. As I type, I'm over 50% of processing in rebuild stage. Coool! I took a look at the history of 0.27 and this is what concerned me at the moment.

Mar 29th, 2004 (v0.27)
- Fixed an error in which SCRs resetting within a VTS could cause buffer overruns and "Runtime error '9'" errors. This should fix a majority of the overrun problems.

Viewing my REBUILDER.INF, this is what I had with my problem m2v I previously posted.

[V01007800003001]
SCR=.000
PTS=25345.000
Frame_Rate_Code=1
Pulldown=1
Frames=2824
Last_Sector=53443
Reduction=49.1

May have to do this DVD from scratch again but will wait to see how it comes out after this test.

[kylan]

Using version 0.27 the buffer overflow (#0004) error still occurs exactly 35.0% into the rebuild process of NTSC "28 Days Later."

Well after rebuilding with version 0.27 i now get another error: Run-time error '6' Overflow
It happens at an other point namely in the Main Movie after having done 36 of the 38 segments in the VTS
The movie is still Disney's Dumbo processed and encoded with version 0.26.And with this version it did not come up with this error it just went past this point and come up later with the #0004 error.
I've not yet done the whole process over again and will try so now.

Should I change to another version of CCE? If so does anyone have a direct link to a more updated version?

Any other suggestions?

[nwg]

I said in a earlier post,
I have managed to do Back to the Future which has photos with Rejig and CCE. However, it fails during building process after encoding with QuEnc (runtime error 5). The encoding is done successfully.

Just to let you know.

I decided to rebuild the BTTF QuEnc DVD with 027 and also got the runtime error 6 on a DVD with 027 with rebuilding. It seems to have changed from runtime error 5. It failed at the same point.

Doing the whole process from the start with 027 doesn't change the results.

Also, does it matter if I have addaudio ticked when using QuEnc? I use it for CCE but, I wonder if my problem was down to the avisynth part at the beginning. I can still do the same DVD in CCE and Rejig.

[wmansir]

@nwg

Could it be due to stills being present? RB has a problem with stills, though I don't know the error code produced. I started to do BTTF II, but stopped when I noticed it contained stills.

What operating system do you use? When you click Abort in Rebuilder at this time, can you load the ITEM.ECL into CCE manually? Did you run EclCCE.exe manually at least once and pointed it to the CCE executable?

[Taro]

Hello,

I see, Top_Cat has the same problem, like me:
Phase II, Encoding process starts, CCE appears (with the path of ITEM.ECL file (F:\Test\D2VAVS\ITEM.ECL) in the header of it), but nothing happens, CCE doesn't work although Rebuilder owns 100% processor time.

As I mentioned yesterday, I set the path of CCE in eclCCE and set the path of eclCCE in Rebuilder.

JDobbs or anyone, what can the problem be at Top_Cat and me?

(I'm using CCE SP Trial v2.67.011 with EclCCE v1.7b, OS: Win2000)
