[KungFuCow]

Yes

[jdobbs]

Is it during PREPARE, ENCODE, or REBUILD?

[Oldeman]

I am getting error "9" during rebuild on .26 beta on two diffferent movies. One in second cell on Runaway Jury. One much later (vob7 or 8)in Seabiscuit. ReJig one button.

During Rebuild

[DMagic1]

@jdobbs

Did you take out the option for "TargetSectors="?

I was trying that and did change my final size. I just wanted to try to fill the 125mb I have left in space a little more.

[nwg]

Rejig doesn't surprise me, because it just transcodes. It worked with CCE?


Yes. It was 2.50.

[Acerjen]

I have a question concerning the encoding process. After encoding, I notice a jump in the picture. I am calling it a jump, but I am not sure what it is. A split second hitch. I ran the original video through DVD2AVI and noticed that every time it did this was when the video changed from progressive to interlaced, which it down just for a split second. I hope I am explaining it well enough to give you all and ideal of what I am seeing. Anybody have any ideal what is going on? My main question is what are the proper settings for a video that have both Progressive and Interlaced frames? As well as Film and NTST frames? I am still new at this and still learning. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. In case it matters, the video is Stargate SG-1, disc 4. The overall rebuild process is fine, everything goes back together ok, no errors. I just noticed the video irregularites and thought I would ask. Thanks. Later.

P.S. Jdobbs, thanks for an excellent program and all the hard work and time you have put into it. A donation will arrive come my next payday. Thanks. Later.

[unplugged]

"Path to MPEG2Dec, Add to AVS" option doesn't seem to be respected at script creation time (ver. 0.25), I see no line with "LoadPlugin".

[kylan]

I get a buffer overflow error #4 (i believe it said) about 35% into the rebuild process of NTSC "28 Days Later." This has been an ongoing error since version .17, I just haven't been able to post.

0.26 has this problem too. mpeg2dec line is not added to the avs script even if you ask dvd-rb to do that and you select the correct dll location.
Maybe next beta will fix this issue.

Are you saying the original source had the glitch and it carried through -- or that the output has the glitch. If it is the output it is likely a pulldown bug of somekind.

DVD-RB matches the source as much as is possible at the cell level. The threshold value in SETUP helps in the decision as to what point DVD-RB decides that the source is straight or pulldown.

I'm actively working this. This used to be a '9' error. I inserted that "0004" code to see if this was the offending area -- glad you observed it.

hi,

how do I have to calculate sectors/mb ?

i just did show girls (the movie)but it only came out to 1.2 gig. its like it did everything but the main movie? i tryied it again but got the same results.


thanks

I got this error at the start of the Rebuild phase (build 0.26 beta)

Run-time error '75':

Path/File access error

DVD-RB managed to create the VIDEO_TS directory inside the working path and create 4 files, VIDEO_TS.BUP/IFO and VTS_01_0.BUP/IFO, of filesizes 6KB and 64KB, respectively. I have enough diskspace for Rebuild to finish.

thanks That means it probably did nothing. The 1.2 gig probably represents files that DVD-RB decided to copy as-is... go into the D2VAVS directory and open on of the .AVS files with media player and see if there is some configuration problem.

[nwg]

I just tried the 'dynamic cell bitrate' thing again and this time the output was only 3.89GB (QuEnc). I am doing the same DVD with the option switched off.

I was getting output of 4.33GB with 025.

[Beer-chan]

Sure. The working path is "F:\TEMP\".

I added up all the .m2v files in the D2VAVS directory and also got 3.89GB with that setting enabled.

[redfive19]

are you sure your menu files and other vobs you left untouched aren't enough to make it 4.36 gb? are you adding this to your 3.89gb value? I've tried the dynamic cell bitrate thing last night and it worked perfect on Y Tu Tambien.

I was encoding a backup with no menus; just the movie, one audio stream, and all subtitles.

jdobbs, I forgot to mention this info with regards to my run-time error '75' problem.

... I did update EclCCE to version 1.8 though so that may be the cause of it...

I did the same thing and got this error message -- I went back to eclCCE v.17b and it went away.

@jdobbs:
Confirmed that this happens with EclCCE 1.8. However, it's actually a problem with CCE-SP 2.50 and the ECLs you are generating. Try a drag'n drop of one of the Rebuilder 'ITEM.ECL' files into CCE-SP 2.50 (not using EclCCE) and you'll get the exact same error message. Strangely enough, it will happily load the ECL through the Load Project menu/toolbar options. Note ECL files saved from CCE-SP 2.50 can be dragged into CCE just fine.

The difference in EclCCE 1.8 now is that it simulates drag'n drop to load the ECL whereas earlier versions simulated the File - Open... menu command and then automated the Open File dialog. I'm a bit reluctant to take that out again because it's a lot cleaner and less error prone than the previous approach. Just save an ECL from CCE-SP 2.50 and compare. It looks like the order of the options in the ECL (which is vastly different in your ECL files) is important for drag'n drop ECL loading. Sorry for the confusion.

[nwg]

I added up all the .m2v files in the D2VAVS directory and also got 3.89GB with that setting enabled.


You can't go by that figure. I have had the D2VAS directory being only 3GB+ but the video_ts output came to 4GB+

I did a DVD twice. Once with 025 and came to 4.33GB and then again with dynamic cell bitrate using 026 and it came to 4.19GB.

I will have to wait a few hours to see if the 3.89GB I got before turns out more with the option switched off.

If you set the path you have to then rerun the "PREPARE" phase (that's where the .AVS is created). Also, if you don't have the AddAudio() feature added to you plugin directory you may need to either uncheck it or check ResampleAudio(44100) instead (if using CCE 2.50)

[RB]

jdobbs, just noticed that the range for CCE quality_prec in Rebuilder is always 0-100. However, that's valid only for CCE-SP 2.50-2.64, CCE-SP 2.66/2.67 uses 0-64 for that option.

[Forko]

yes, it looks like they are all there

Hmm.. that ain't good... I'll multiply the value times .64 before inserting it in one of the newer .ECLs... or put new values in the table -- whichever is easier

[quantum]

Just to show what is functional:
CCE 2.66.01.07
EclCCE 1.5a
DVDRB .26

Did Matchstick Men r1 with no errors and resulting directory was 4,649,646,080. Close enough for me.

I'm still wondering if we still have any weirdness with chapters. I see an occassional blip when RW but it's inconsistent and could be something unrelated to this process.

If so it would have to be related to the tables in the DSI. I might write a quick program that scans through the entire stream and looks for anomolies...

[nwg]

What is CCE quality_prec?

I read in one of the DVD RB threads about the bias number but not this one.

*EDIT* I just read that DVD-RB can't handle these kinds of things just yet..sorry about the post then, i've been away from this kind of stuff for a while now, and just kind of stumbled upon this apparently amazing piece of software. It seems that I can finally backup my Alias Season 2 discs which were troublesome via the "big 3" method :)

Well my encode finished early this morning, and it wasn't really a success :( ... PowerDVD would get to the menu, but whenever i clicked play it just returned to the menu..burned to a dvdrw that worked fine in my standalone, but the places where it is interlaced (i think teh source is like 95% progressive, 5% interlaced) the video seems to stutter. I have nothing else I really need to encode at this time, so i'll just sit on the sidelines for now..

[Taro]

Hello,

I'm lucky (as you're :D ) to find this great tool. Thanks to JDobbs!
I use 0.24 DVD-RB (I know, there is a newer one, but I couldn't try it yet) and CCE SP 2.67.011 with eclCCE 1.7.

My problem is, when encode process starts, CCE appears, but it seems the .ECL file not to be loaded into it (the filename doesn't appear inside CCE, therefore CCE can do nothing).

1. I downloaded Hypo20's dvdrbini.zip (maybe I'm so lamer to set something incorrectly) -> result is the same, filename doesn't appear

2. I tried to open the .ECL file (was generated by RB) manually, but the result was the same -> filename doesn't appear

3. I made DVD2DVD-R to create an .ECL file, which I loaded into CCE. In this case everything gone well: filename was recognized by CCE, and CCE was set as requested.

What and where the problem is? (everyone can use CCE except me? :rolleyes: )

I discovered (and was mentioned by RB earlier), that the set-up of .ECL of RB is different from .ECL of DVD2DVD-r (or CCE).

Probably this can be my problem?
What should I do (set)?

Thanks in advance!
Taro

Have you tried this?

Tell eclCCE where the CCE exe file is. When you double clik on eclcce.exe for the first time it asks for the location of the CCE exe.

You then have to point DVD RB to the eclCCE file and not the CCE exe in the DVD RB setup.

Then DVD RB should load the ECL into CCE.

If you are using a trial version of CCE-SP 2.66/2.67 so that EclCCE is responsible for the ECL processing, that actually doesn't matter. EclCCE doesn't care about the order of the options in the ECL file, but a full CCE might care.

Can you post the contents of the ECL file you are having problems with?

Hi nwg!

Yes, I tried this. This was the first I set. ;)
(I gave the path of CCE for eclCCE first time and I set the path of eclCCE.exe for RB.)

But I stucked. I don't know why, but CCE wants to work only with another kind of ECL (like CCE's or DVD2DVD-R's) not the RB's one...

I'll drop my PC through the window. :mad:
(just a joke)

[Top_Cat]

I hope someone will be able to help me.

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

[RB]

@djan:
For bitrates above 3000, I use 30 in CCE-SP 2.67. Below that I use 25.

@Top_Cat:
Exactly which version of CCE and EclCCE? In the title bar, there is just "ITEM.ECL", not a full path like "D:\somedir\d2vavs\item.ecl"?

[Raymongo]

Encounterd the #0004 error during the rebuilding phase. Before version 0.26 the Runtime error '9' showed up at the same point. I played all files in a player and it does not come up with an error. The VTS itself holds 350 files of witch 300 files are the same sort(stills. but if played it's black screen) and size(45kb). But after 247 files rebuilded from VTS03 i get the error! I hoop it's helps you a bit and if you need more info please ask.
