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.

It does have photos but it worked fine with CCE but not QuEnc. That is the weird thing.

Hi,

I'm getting a CCE crash with "PANIC ROOM" DVD. There is the print screen :

http://users.skynet.be/djan/DVDRB_027-CCE_Crash.jpg

It's just after the fifth vaf just before beginning the m2v encoding of this same cell. I'm using CCE 2.50 with ECLECC 1.7b. What can be the problem ? The AVS file works well.

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)
And the CCE window stays empty, no files listed etc.? Did you set the CCE process priority to Idle in the EclCCE settings in CCE? If so, try setting it to Normal or Default. Does this fix it?

Yes, no file is listed in CCE window.
I think, the priority was set to Default and after some trying I set it to High (or something like this). But it also didn't work.
I think, the priority affects only encoding the video, but not affects loading/saving ECL file. But I'll try your tip (I'll have possibility to test it unfortunately only tomorrow). BTW. thanks for it!

With version .27 i get an overflow error#0004 during rebuilding

using DVD-RB V.27
CCE 2.66 trial
OS WinXp

And its on the DVD 28 Days later

I am running Windows 2003 server. When I click abort it abort and then try to open ITEM.ECL or REBUILDER.ECL manually (File/Open/Project) it still down not work. However if I go File/Open/File and select V01000000001001.AVS then it appears in the CCE window and encode it (well I think it encodes it, I've not used CCE before but it looks to me that it works cos V01000000001001.AVS appears in the CCE window and a popup appears saying saving V01000000001001.mpv etc..)

I have tried setting it to Normal and High Priority but it still did not help.

The DVD is FireFly Disc 2 if that makes any difference.

Hope this helps. any more information needed then please let me know

@jdobbs:

I ran a test with the following setup:

- DVD Rebuilder 0.27
- EclCCE (latest version)
- CCE SP Trial ;-) 2.67
- Big Lebowski NTSC (7.90GB) 1:1 nothing stripped.

When doing this backup on 2 passes, everything went really smooth. After that I decided to try 7 passes to compensate for the really large size. It did not go as well, my computer did an auto reboot.

Now, I cannot say if it is DVD Rebuilders problem or not. I am doing a 7 pass with same setup but using CCE SP 2.50 and will see how that goes (23% and going). I will also try 7 pass using CCE SP 2.67 again to see if the reboot is consistent.

But so far, I have tried 7 pass 2 times, on 2 different movies that I own and both times computer rebooted when left running over night.

By the way, I will comfirm that the "minimize CCE" option does not work when running through EclCCE as you said.

I will post more once this test goes through, I highly doubt that it is a hardware problem, the system seems to be running fine.

It also might just be my version of CCE SP 2.67, so do not look into this one right away.

[nwg]

Do you really need to do 7 passes?

with a 7.9GB size, I would do 4 passes maximum. The extra time probably won't improve the video quality.

What happens if you put it on 4 or 5 passes?

[Trahald]

top_cat.. this happened to me with 2.67 what the problem i found out to be was i had it set to 2.67 BASIC when i did the PREPARE step. when i changed it to the cce setting to cce 2.66+ it didnt help, but that was because the ecl files were already written for 2.67 basic. all i had to do was make sure 2.66+ was checked and redo the PREPARE step (also make sure add audio and converttoyuy2 is checked in avs options) and it worked fine after that

[huesage]

I am very picky as far as quality is concerned... which is why i do not take chances, I just do 7 passes.

But that is not the point, the point is that when doing a 7 pass with this setup, my comp reboots on me ;-)

PS: thanx for the tip.

IIRC, even the CCE manual does not recommend such a high number of passes, and in fact if the BR is adequate, more passes than needed produce a worse output.

Of course you're free to encode as you prefer, but IMHO you are taking the wrong chances with 7 passes.

[kadilak]

Not trying to be a pain, just not sure if you saw the post because this thread has been pretty active. :)

Both djan and I are seeing freezing in the video when playing through chapter points. There is no pixelation, it just freezes for mabye 1/2 a second before moving to the next chapter.

This seems to be a continuing problem that I should have considered...

First I'd recommend (and have said before) that there is never a good reason to do more than 4 passes -- but since no one wanted to listen to that and apparently had a lot of spare computing time; I added the additional passes as an option.

I'm going way back here -- but I seem to recall a memory leak error that existed in 2.50... how much memory does your system have?

[huesage]

@r6d2

I guess more is not always better, where can we talk about number of passes? this thread is not really for that.

Please get in touch with me as I am interested in learning more about the topic.

Thank you.

Well, almost every guide on this site can confirm my statement. Some may be a little outdated, of course, but you can take a look at the guide on my sig for a whole picture on why 1 well done pass is good enough (although defying the laws of physics). ;)

About your problem, IIRC and as jddobs pointed out, some CCE versions had memory leak problems and that is more noticeable when heavy multipassing. You may try to see in task manager if swap space constantly grows with each pass.

yes. the .26 version worked flawlessly other than a 10 second still picture that pulsated very little.

That sorted it I think! well done Trahald.

I also checked my AVS options and add audio was not ticked so I ticked this.

btw. Firefly is fantastic, I also have the NTSC version cos I ordered it from the states. Fantastic series and a great loss that it was cancelled! But the good news is the film is being made :)

[brikin]

Thanks for the tool JDobbs. 0.27 fixed my '9' error. When I loaded the files in Nero it said my .BUP did not match my .IFO. I deleted the .BUP and copied and renamed my .IFO's to .BUP and everything burned fine. I didn't know if this issue has been brought up or not.

Thanks again

I would like to report a strange bug.

A few times now when I abort the encoding process, I lose all my icons on the desktop and in the taskbar. I have to reboot to get the desktop icons back but lost the taskbar ones completely.

It has done it on several versions of DVD RB.

[robw]

This has happened to me as well. I haven't looked in to it completely but I believe it only happens when you abort a process during the CCE phase (so is it DVDRB, CCE, or EclCCE?)

All my desktop icons are MIA as well as those on the taskbar.

I still get error 9 in rebuilding phase:
DVD-RB 0.27 with Rejig engine, backing up DVD NTSC U2 Go Home.
It's a concert, interlaced 30 fps. Two VTS, with no angle and no stills.
If I could help with others info, let me know.

ooops spoke to soon!
Well that problem is resolved the next problem that I have encountered is that everything seems to work fine when I press ENCODE (took 1 hour to encode) but it did not encode the main TV episodes just the menus!

I pressed REMERGE and it said that there are no files, and that I needed to PROCESS and ENCODE! I checked the created VIDEO_TS folder and it is only 65MB with just the menu files created.

Any idea's? was there a box I forgot to tick or something? an hour to encode the titles seems a long time as well (2gig Athlon XP with 1 Gig of DDR-Ram)

[Observer]

This is probably very simple for you but I post it anyway. I guess that the new bitrate for a segment, based on the original bitrate distribution could be calculated as:

NewSegBit=(TotTime*AvgBitr)/sum(SegTime*OrigSegBitr)*OrigSegBitr

where

NewSegBit = The new bitrate for a certain segment
TotTime = The total time (length) of all segments
AvgBitr = The average bitrate that is needed to fill a DVD-R
SegTime = The time (length) of segment i
OrigSegBitr = The original bitrate of segment i

I ran a test with the following setup:

- DVD Rebuilder 0.27
- CCE Basic 2.67.01.19
- Matchstick Men NTSC 1:1 nothing stripped.

All went fine until I played it in my Settop box, there is a small split second pause in the audio when it changes chapters. Any one have this problem? I have used big3 for some time now and never had this problem. I have done this movie 3 times and all with the same end result. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks JHMac

Did it tell you it was encoding in the status window? Did is say it was finished after an hour? There has to be a misconfiguration somewhere...

Thanks JHMac Could you do me a favor? After running DVD-RB, use IFOEDIT's VOB Extras to rebuild the VTSs (see earler posts on that subject). If that fixes the audio issue I may be able to find a fix...

@jdobbs

Have you had a chance to figure out what is causing the runtime error 6 overflow error in version .27

This error was not present in your .26 build.

Thanks

[nimbles]

Hi, my first post to congratualte you on this great tool- i'm newb and have always been scared off from using CCE based methods partly cos i just couldn't get my head around all the steps i had to do and the cost involved in the big 3 method.

just used v0.27 and the quality is far better than the dvdshrink/ic8 methods i usually use.

thanks very much jdobbs :thanks:

I have a few questions that i hope you'd be able to help with:
1) I did Donnie Brasco (pal r2) using CCE SP2.67.023 the orginal file size is a little over 7.5 GB, and using 5 pass with a qunatizer of 24 (out of 64) I got a file size around 4.28GB. Quality is great, but iwas just wondering if there is a way of upping the space used to almost fill the disc?
2) I'm not really sure of the effect of the quality_prec (think there's a typo there :D) & vbr bias settings- could you please explain to me what it does- (is it the same as in say xvid quantizer encoding where the lower the number the higher the quality?)

[Stive]

Tools and DVD:
DVDRBv26 (Default settings except, dynamic, 4passes, and one-click)
1.7ecl
2.54avi
2.50CCE (default settings)
AMD CPU
WinXP Pro
LOTRings2 (full dvd backup)

The process was smooth...no errors. However, I am experiencing the chapter studder on regular play through and if I fast forward to the chapter and back it up just a bit. Right now, I am running it through ifoedit with the particular settings noted based on a previous post to see if it will take it out. According to a previous post, only the following should be checked: "correct vob unit navpack...", "adjust vob unit pointer", and "adjust aduio/subp" (on ifoeditv96). I had tried a movie only on the DVD by stripping it with DVDShrink (no compression), DVDRB26, and ifoedit. But, that did not take out the studder. I'll report back with the result later tonight.

[nwg]

I did Back to the Future (inc stills) just fine with 025 with Rejig. I decided to do it again with 027 and its fails during build with a runtime error 6.

I have this same problem but can't find .26 to download since people say this version works. Is there a place to get the older versions?

I'm using XP SP1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633 : SP1)
DVD-RB .27 (never used .26 before .27 was out)
CCE SP 2.67.00.023
ECLCCE 1.8 and tried the 1.7b version also.
I get the same with both, and ive tried every combination of the YUV, AddAudio, and ResampleAudio options. All alone, two of the three, and all three with both versions of ECLCCE. It finished in less than 5 minutes and then I get that error (DVD Rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0004. Process must abort.) and then (Stop statement encountered). The disc I am trying to encode is the Upright Citizens Brigade Season 01 Disc 01. I can post the files if needed, but it sounds like this has been reported already so I won't until asked.

I am using Avisynth 2.5 that comes with the latest GordianKnot and the MPEG2Dec3dg.dll is the only file in the plugins dir of that. Path pointed to in program, but do I need to have the Add to AVS checked? I have tried with and without and same results, but just wanted to know what it should be. Final Size after it runs from the 6.61 GB vobs is 9.59 MB in the D2VAVS folder and 97.3 MB in the VIDEO_TS folder.

Grrrrrrrr......I have finished the ifoedit and burned the dvd, but still have the studder at chapter points. Any suggestions?

What DVD is it (if you've told me please forgive me -- you only remember your problem, I have to remember them all)? I've burned a sh*t-load (that's a standard engineering unit of measurement) and haven't gotten a stutter yet.

[KungFuCow]

I just finished encoding one and since Ive had problems on my players with stuttering as well, Ill burn it real quick and test it out.

It looks like i can't use 027. :(

I am going to have to go back to 026 as I keep getting runtime error 6 messages during build.
