@jdobbs

Can't have that... all st.. st..stuttering must cease. I'm working it. Unfortunately I have yet to have seen it for myself.

Well, after getting the 6 month old off my lap and looking closely at the last half of the movie I noticed something that I should have let you know earlier. The "fluttering", as I will now refer to it (because it truly isn't a "stutter"), occurs throughout the movie...NOT JUST AT CHAPTER BREAKS. I apologize for misleading you prior to this and hope that I have not wasted a lot of your time looking at how chapters are put together. What I noticed were brief....maybe measured in MS changes in speed. Example, the character is walking or turning and his/her movement speeds up for a brief moment. Funny thing is, I really don't see any changes in the audio (or should I say hear any changes).

So, could this be something to do with how bitrates are being spread across cells and nothing to do with your coding? Excuse me for being ignorant, I am deffinetely a newbie when it comes to CCE Encoding. I never could get through the big3 and settled for movie only back-ups with Shrink or AVI's with Gknot. Until this app, I've never learned about whats really happening...

Maybe it is my dvd player. I don't know that I would call it "cheap" perse, however $130 isn't top-of-the-line either. I realize that. Again though, my rips from shrink always play without any problems.

This is long winded and my point is, maybe it's the way I am doing the encoding (using decomb, CCE settings are not "right"....etc.). Hell, I don't know. I will keep trying.

On a positive note, I am blown away by the quality of the back-ups. I have had goodluck with shrink doing movie only and watching AVI's through my pc to the tv has been less than desirable. So, even with the "flutters", being able to back-up my DVD collection this way is awesome.

Hi all!
I just wanted to say great work jdobbs!
Last night I've tried E.T. PAL and everything went beautiful.
First I've used DVDReMake 1.3.1 to delete what I don't want and run it through DVDRebuild. Here what I've set
Deactivated all extra lines in AVS (like AddAudio() or any ConvertTo...) so my AVS looks something like
mpeg2source("C:\test.avs")
Trim(0,1234)

I've used CCE SP 2.66.0.26 (I think) with 2 pass. Done some viewing tests on PC with 3 different players and my stand alone player and had no stuttering at all. I've given disk to friend to test it on PS2 and his stand alone player to see is there any problems.

My experience is different...

I have to say I truly understand the difficulties of replicating the "stuttering effect" if your hardware player is not assisting in the job: maybe it depends on the specific configuration of the PC, or on the installed codecs, or on something else, but I never was able to see it on my PC.

With Donnie Brasco, PAL, R2, I used PowerDVD, WinDVD and the IfoEdit Player, staring at the monitor very carefully, and the play has been every time perfect and fluent on the PC.

Just playing the burned title on my "cheap" hardware player the effect is immediately visible at each chapter change...

All the best

I just wanted to add that my cheap (apex) player also has this slight stuttering problem, but it is not at every chapter point. It is fairly rare (every 2-3 minutes) and it isn't really a stutter. The audio seems to play fine, as I don't hear any distortions, but the video seems to just randomly jump ahead a fraction of a second. If I reverse back and play over the same section, it doesn't happen though. So I assume it isn't something wrong at that particular point in the stream, but a 'resyncing' or some other problem which develops over time.

I can definitely say it isn't just at chapter points or Cell merger points, as it will happen in the middle of a scene and sometimes a couple of times within a 10-15 seconds. It is almost like a max-bitrate too high problem, but the points that it happen don't appear to be high bitrate shots.

BTW, this happened with a .30 rebuild. I haven't had a successfully .31 rebuild yet.

I've been playing with one of my projects I finished with DVD-RB v0.31 and I think I'm inclined to agree with you. When I play it back in PowerDVD, the video doesn't seem as 'smooth' as it should be, yet doesn't show the glaring stutter at chapter breaks. On my Norcent DVD player though, the video does seem smooth until you hit the chapter break where it jumps a fraction of a second. My guess is the two players are handling the video syncing differently and thus the problem (if it is syncing) is materializing in a different manner.

Maybe it's just my eyes but it seems as if it is a video syncing issue that the different players deal with in different ways. Anyhow, since jdobbs is already armpit deep on his way to fixing this I'm not sure if this observation is of any help, so I'll just wait patiently for the next release.

OK. ET is definitely good. Tested on 3 different players. now I have other question. What is minimum VOB size limit to be done in DVDRebuild. Here is the situation. I have James Bond disk and it have 19 VTS. I've used DVDReMake to clean what I don't want and there was 8 VTS to process. VTS1,2 and 3 are done OK but VTS 11,12,13,14 are around 30MB in size and they where skipped. Did I missed something or...?
I've tried to work with ReJig0.5e and everything works except produced m2v file is 0kb for all chapters. Is that bug or I'm doing something wrong (I've used ReJig manually and it works)? I'm using DVDRebuild 0.31

FFS I've inserted code to not reencode VTSs that are under 50MB because I figured they were insignificant (and often have stills or BOV -- hence, why I am skipping them until they is supported).

I tried Blade II again like I said with 0.31 and stutter is still there, and it is not related to chapters. It is audible when playing with Nero Showtime but not so much in PowerDVD5. But it is clear on my Pioneer DV-545 player. Would it be helpful if someone uploaded a small piece of the movie wich includes the stuttering?

I don't know if this a bug or not.

DVD-RB 031
CCE 2.50 (4 passses)
eclCCE 1.8

I have Master and Comander PAL. Shrink with just DD 5.1 shows 75% compression of the original and ended at 4.34GB

I did it in DVD-RB. After prepare the best it could do was 64.5%. I encoded anyway and it ended up just 3.87GB.

I tried to use the targetsectors trick and put the maximum sectors but it didn't matter.

Is it just the way DVD-RB works?

Edit.

I thought this was the 030+ bug thread sorry.

THX for replay. I was thinking it is something like that but wasn't sure. What about ReJig0.5e? I'm getting 0kb files no matter what I do.

With Peter Pan animation in rebuilding process "DVD Rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0004. Process must abort".

Another thing that i see is problem with interleaved video, the picture flick (decomb.dll option is marked). When i do cloned films with scenarist at the extras i process with two filters in avs,

@jdobbbs

I did some trouble shooting re: the suttering video while backing up Star Trek Voyager: Season 1 Disc 1

I think it's an issue with MPEG2Dec3dg.dll

I tried to replicate the issue while using VirtualDubMod to encode the AVS file generated by DVD-RB into DivX. The DivX output suttered just as it did with the CCE output (during encode, you could see it go frmae #222,223,224,222,223,224 -- like it was going back a frame or two).

I then tried to encode the M2V using VirtualDubMod's built in MPEG2 decoder/reader. The file encoded without any stuttering but the audio/video were out of sync.

Hope this helps! :D

Was there a missing VTS number in the selection window? (for example it may have had VTS_01, VTS_02, VTS_05, VTS_06) -- I found a bug in which the selected streams in either of VTS_05 or VTS_06 (in the example) might not select audio streams properly...

VTS_02
VTS_03

The Dvd actually has 4:
VTS_01
VTS_02
VTS_03
VTS_04

Is that suppose to be a bug?
VTS_01 only has copiright infos and
VTS_02 movie
VTS_03 trailer
VTS_04 has the Paramount LOGO intro

As you can see in my 1st post, the log shows it only compressed VTS_02 and VTS_03

I tried Battle Royale II (HK, NTSC, reauthored, movie only with dvd shrink) again with .34 and was pleasantly suprised. The jerky video and audio losing sync (during ff/rw) that I had experienced previously were gone. However, I still get an error when burning with nero (reallocation failed, video_ts.vob not referenced) and the subtitles wouldn't appear (were selectable, but didn't show up) on 3 different standalone players I tried (or on my modded xbox with dvdx, but thats more of a software player). They did make it through, though, as they show up when played on my computer under media player classic.

11th April 2004, 20:32
Battle Royal II worked fine with 0.31 here, apart from the missing subtitles. But that's because the subtitles are Closed Captions, and DVD Rebuilder doesn't support those - yet. Actually, I did that movie using the Big Three Method (and did check CC in DIF4U), but Closed Captions didn't work in it either. Neither did it in Shrink, Recode, Instant Copy or anything else. Oh well.

Uhm... I have the Hong Kong version. It does have Closed Captions. Check the back of the cover, table for Disc A. It says "Dolby Digital", "CC", "DVD-9" etc.

CC means Closed Captioning.

Of course you might have a different version, mine has 3 sets of subtitles/closed captions: Chinese (Traditional), English and Chinese (Simplified).

Oh, wow, it does do that on the original disc. Never had that problem before when reauthoring with DVD Shrink, very odd...

I'll try running the original through dvd shrink and try it on my standalones, to see if the subtitle issue is related to the source or dvd-rb.

Nero is just very picky for standard compliance. After months of people blasting nero for alleged incompliance.. it now makes sure in every way that its good. And the funny thing is, the so called "good burning tools" dont even check for these things. In many burning software you can shove JPG and MP3 files inside the VIDEO_TS folder and it doesnt care :D

11th April 2004, 22:55
I must have a different version of BRII than tf. It DEFINITELY has actual subs, not captions. However, I shrunk my source with dvd shrink and burned and got the same results on my players - no subs. The problem was most likely rooted in the reauthoring with dvd shrink, not dvd-rb. It made a perfect backup of my botched source material! :)

First of all I would like to congratulate Mr dobbs on developing such a great tool, donation on its way!

I have now done four successful backups with zero error and excellent quality results.

I have now encountered the runtimne error 9 problem myself. Despite the fact that my source is not "clean" I am posting results as it may aid tracking down the problem.

Original

8 Titlesets with episodes in VTS 5-8
First 3 titlesets were junk trailers / assorted rubbish

Titlesets 1 -3 were single PGC's/vob's which I replaced with single frame vob's and stripped out audio (video only) - MackernX method

Rebuilder crashes with "Runtime error 9" immediateley after Prepare is clicked (three step mode).

Feeding the original, unstripped version results in no error. However, Rebuulder has worked fine with others that I have pre-stripped using the same method - odd

Hope this helps in tracking down the problem

Good to hear. To get the most out of your purchase, can you try it with CCE 2.66 and 2.67 also please?

btw. how many passes did you do? Perhaps CCE 2.5 is bombing out with the CRC check error for some.

Why use "methods" when you can use TitleSetBlanker. I havent had any problems with that tool and it succesfully removes play from any titleset.

Also, just done disc 3 of the same series with a MackernX style pre-strip - no problems

Why use "methods" when you can use TitleSetBlanker. I havent had any problems with that tool and it succesfully removes play from any titleset.

I have not come across this tool. Does it handle titls-sets with multiple PGC's with single or multiple vob's?

It can cleverly blank anything that doesnt require user-interaction (menus). So you can even blank the movie titleset itself. I've used it on many dvd's so far without problems (to blank out copyright warnings that usually are in multiple languages, studio animations, extras titlesets).

Only thing to watch out for is when you load up a video_ts.ifo the video_ts.vob is checked automatically.. you need to uncheck it if you dont want to remove it.

For instance take any Disney DVD, blank out the "coming to dvd" commercials that are multiple in one vob, and your player will show a black screen for a short while and move on to what comes after the commercials. It's great.

Good to hear. To get the most out of your purchase, can you try it with CCE 2.66 and 2.67 also please?

btw. how many passes did you do? Perhaps CCE 2.5 is bombing out with the CRC check error for some. Possibly... I'm only doing 3 passes. But I don't see how that could result in a Runtime '9' error during REBUILD. Anyway -- these errors don't worry me nearly as much as the elusive stutter.

So if you have several PGCs such as trailers and want to retain one and delete the others, you can't do it with this tool. With that said, it's still very handy and well designed. I use it myself regularly.

DVD Stripper will do that. It is more powerful than Titleset Blanker but, takes a lot more time to do (plus it needs DVD Decrypter and Ifoedit).

if this has been posted before, forgive me, but there's like a gazilion posts to search through.

1. DVD-R Version: 0.35
2. Encoder being used: CCE 2.50
3. Using eclCCE? Yes
4. Bug encountered: when using the new 4:3 letterboxed -> 16:9 anamorph conversion, the 16:9 flag isn't set in the ifo (can be easily fixed in IFOedit, however)


no bug, but a suggestion: make the other conversion possible too (from amaporph 16:9 to letterboxed 4:3) then ppl have - in my opinion - a better alternative to save bits on long encodes, rather than using half D1 which obviously causes problems for many ppl.

I do 3 passes myself aswell and havent run into problems yet.
