DVD Rebuilder (One-Click Beta) Bug Reports - v0.30+

Added: DVD-RB is usually very close to target size, except when using the half D1/half bitrate for extras option. I've been getting a steady 4.32-4.35 GB with CCETargetSectors=2251760 (thank you quantum), but when using the mentioned option I get as low as 4.03 GB



I noticed the same. I was doing a backup of "The Battle of Midway", and selected option mentioned above. The final size was 4,04 GB

I used:

DVD-RB 0.43b, with all settings at default values
ECLCCE 1.81
CCE 2.67.00.23

Not complaining, the final quality of the movie was still GREAT!
Thanks again for the great software :)

[nwg]

I don't know if this can be considered a bug. It looks like the Half D1 for extras doesn't work very well with episodic DVD's. I did CSI Season 2 disc 1. It has a few small extras as well as four episodes. The result was just 3.25GB.

Without the option selected the final size is 4.31GB.

DVD-RB 0.43b/0.45
CCE 2.50
eclCCE 1.81


I also got an error with Quenc 0.47 and 0.45 DVD-RB. I was doing the smae DVD with 2 pass. It got encoding done to 94% and then got a video codec cannot be opened error message? The program hen stopped encoding.

Edit.

I forgot about the manual setting of Half-D1 (the old way). I will try it again, I just wished I remembered this 12 hours ago. :D It's all part of the fun.

A note to everyone. You cannot continue jobs started with a previous version (e.g. just do a REBUILD) on ANY job with 0.45 -- there is an additional INF entry that is now inserted during PREPARE that is essential. I'm going to modify the notice for 0.45 to clarify that fact.

[DDogg]

I still got the '9' on rebuild of 'ItalianJob'. Hopefully you can try that title sometime. There are a lot of stills and they seem to be distorted. I've attached one of them.

DVD-R Version: 0.45
Encoder being used: CCE 2.67.00.09
Using eclCCE? YES

Bug encountered:
When i try to rebuild the DVD DVD-RB says always to me: "Error in IFOupdate, please inform the author".
Befor that everything works fine, and there were no probs with a few other DVD's. It just this one.

If you need to know more about this prob, let me know!

Did you do use any "stripping" utility before running DVD-RB, anything else except Decrypter got it's hands on the DVD files?

[nwg]

I redid CSI season 2 Disc 1 (PAL) with Quenc. I got a runtime error 9 at 96%.

This is actually the first time I got the error.

I received this same error message for the second time when backing up Alien 3 [NTSC].

Using:
DVD-RB .45
QuEnc .47

I also got it the other day when trying to back up Kill Bill vol. 1 [NTSC] using:

DVD-RB .43
QuEnc .45

With Kill Bill I clicked on the error and it continued to encode and after getting the error 3-4 times it finally finished. The final result would play on VLC, I couldn't seem to find anything wrong with it, but the file size was small. 3.5 to 3.7GB

I am afraid I erased it :rolleyes: so I don't have anything more to offer.

That's interesting. I got this error (0006) for the first time yesterday. It happens only on a ReJig source and won't happen in QuEnc or CCE. I'm investigating. This error is only supposed to occur when the frame count is different between the original source and the newly encoded one.

I will do "The Hunt For Red October" again tonight and see if there any improvements...

No, the only thing i used was DVD Decrypter to rip, nothing else!

Just a little thing that may be adjusted with removed audio streams : unselected audio streams in DVD-RB can still be selected when playing the final backup leading to mute playback. This is good because some menus still requires all streams entries in order to work properly. If you pass the DVD-RB backup through DVD Shrink checking only the needed streams, this time removed entries are still present but you cannot select them since they are greyed out. Can you try to fix it the same way? Removing audio streams with IFOEDIT sometimes is not as good because menus will fail selecting audio streams left.

@jdobbs
I've already posted the above considerations in "comment and suggestion" thread but i've got no fbks. I'm the only one experiencing the above?

That's normal. How are you "removing" streams with IFOedit? Are you actually stripping them via VOB extras? or just "0" out the audio status in the PGC? I believe all DVDShrink does is "0" out the audio status, which should be enough, and won't mess up the menu selections.

See this guide (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60444) by 2COOL. Note that it was written for DVDShrink 3.0b5 and earlier. DVDShrink 3.1 already uses this method.

@ wmansir,jdobbs
With IFOEDIT i was stripping VOB extras taking as input DVD-RB created VOBS in order to try to remove the "ghosted" audio stream, but found this way no good and used DVDShrink 3.1 instead.
.
What i'm asking is if it would be too much effort for jdobbs to have DVD-RB behave like DVDShrink 3.1, this will avoid selection of blanked-out audio streams and mute playbacks .
Thanks.

Don't know if anyone else is having this problem or not, but whenever I even try to load a DVD into DVD-RB I get this error:

Run-time error "6"
Overflow

That's all it gives me, and the shuts down. I've tried various discs, ripping in file mode, iso mode and then mounting with Daemon Tools, but no matter what I do, I can't even load a DVD into DVD-RB at all.

I did try all of this on my laptop, and it works fine there, but on my main computer (nforce2 board), it just gives me that error everytime I try to load a DVD. Any ideas as to what could be causing this?

[dancis]

I tried Terminator 2 last night , where i did get the buffer overflow error 0004 the first time it goes oke , but now at another point , it is giving the buffer overflow error 0003.

This happens with rb v0.45 , CCe 2.50 with elcce 1.81

Will try Tombraider 2 tonight , got an 0004 also with that movie , see if this one doesn't come back

I'm pretty sure it's a configuration problem -- but I don't know what you're using.

[Masao]

Sorry, should have listed all that stuff to begin with.

DVD-RB Version: 0.45
Encoder being used: CCE 2.67.00.23
Using eclCCE? YES
AviSynth Version : 2.54

I don't think it's a configuration problem though as I copied over everything exactly the same to my laptop, and it worked just fine there. No matter what I choose, either CCE, QUENC, or REJIG, it gives me the same error all the time.

Anyother info you need that might help pin point things at all? It's driving me crazy though, I just can't figure out what's causing this error. I've gone through and reinstalled everthing from start to finish time and time again, and I still get the same overflow error.

[robgarib]

DVD-RB Version: 0.45
Encoder being used: CCE 2.67.00.23
Using eclCCE? YES
AviSynth Version : 2.54
Test with "Kill Bill Vol.1 - region 2"
Until version 0.40 no problems.
From 0.40 to 0.45 every dvd stops at the beginning of the first chapter and jump directly to second chapter on my Philips dvd 612.
In my tests i have used dvd+rw from TDK-FUJI-PHILIPS-MEMOREX with the same results.
The same dvd encoded with Instant Copy 8 works perfectly.
Tonight i'll try with version 0.39 and i'll post you tomorrow the results.
Thanks

I think I managed to do my first "stutter" disc.

Encoder being used: CCE 2.66

AviSynth Version : 2.54

The Rock S.E. R2

This project gave me 345 segments (!!), one new segment for almost every time a scene changes. It seemed to encode fine and rebuild fine but on playback it slightly stutters usually when the scene changes (I mean where the film is cut to a new angle etc).

I knew it prolly wasnt a good sign to have ~350 segments many of which are 1MB in size :)

jdobbs, this seems to be the problem I reported earlier in some detail in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=478071#post478071 I think if a cell does not consist of only I-Frames it is safe to assume that this is normal video and there's no need to split the cell into additional segments.

The disc is "special" in that it has full 7.8GB with a 60MB menu, DD and DTS tracks and a 200MB commentary track. One of the sharpest video I've ever seen and probably encoded without the "need" for I-frames?

[RB]

There are definitely I-Frames, trust me :) Just look at the D2V file I quoted in the post I linked to and compare with yours. I bet they look similar, that is, a lot of 2's on their own line.

Hmm, no, that pattern is normal and expected. The first "2" on a line is an I-Frame. Even more puzzling you got such an amount of segments. What I meant was a pattern like this

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
....

That is, a lot of lines that only have a single 2.

and then more with 2 2 and 2 2 2

I bet there are around 345 lines with a single 2...

DVD Rebuilder 0.45
CCE 2.66 Trial

I am backing up X2 and was getting the 0004 error. Now the rebuild completes. When I press play the begining of the movie starts but there is no sound. When it makes it past were the second m2v file would end the video just stops. If I go to the next chapter everything starts playing fine. If I rewind to the part that messes up it basically stops playing like it did before.

If you need to know anything else let me know.

Thanks! Does it do it gradually over time and then click back at the next chapter (I think that's what I recall)? I'm still trying to figure out why it would do that on certain discs. I've only seen it once, and it was very slight.

Does "The Hunt for Red October" have a large synch drift that's easy to see? If so I'll buy a copy just to get to this problem.


EDIT: Forgot to ask -- are you NTSC R1 by any chance?

[DDogg]

Jdobbs, That brings up a question. I've noticed out of sync on my old Apex 503 after FF. A quick FR fixes it up, but it reminded me of a problem I have seen many times on SVCD when muxing was done by other than BB Avi2mpeg2 muxer (which is the gold standard in my mind). The Apex was a particular, and could always identify a funny mux. I'm not suggesting yours is, but I can just about guarantee you if I demux and remux with BB, it will not do this. I'm thinking if you compared the 'structure' of the two muxes to see if there is any difference? In fact, how do you mux the streams back together now out of curiosity?

[wfiguero]

DVD-RB Version: 0.45
Encoder being used: CCE 2.67.00.23
Using eclCCE? Y 1.81
Apex AD-1500

Some stutter. It Happens in the two movies that I encode using these version of DVD-RB and only in some chapters. If I jump to the next chapter and then rewind back to the previous chapter and press play , when the movie reach the chapter from were I rewind back its begins to stutter.

If I jump from chapter to chapter it plays fine without stutter. Normal play don't show any stutter its seems to happen only when I use rewind.

I tested a movie that I made with DVD-RB v0.44 and don't have this problem. I will try to do other movie with both versions and see what happen.

[robgarib]

Dvd: Kill Bill vol. 1 R2
Dvdrb 0.39 +cce sp 2.67.00.23 + eclcee 1.8.1
In my test with version 0.39 i've experienced the same problem:
On Philips dvd 612 at the beginning of chapter 1 the dvd stops and then go directly to chapter 2.
But the dvd encoded with the older versions work perfectly, so now i'll try to come back to version 0.37a (the older version that i have found at the moment) for a new test tonight. But i'm not a programmer and i'm not able to fix the bug; the only thing that i can do is testing if the program works.
Then when i find a working version i'll use it until jdoods writes a new version without this bug.
I inform you that several guys write me private mails because experienced the same bug. It seem happens only with Philips dvd racks.
Bye

[jurij]

I'm using dvd-rb 0.45

I have found a bug:
-i choose to resize half D1 VTS02 and VTS03
-I save the project.
-i close dvd-rb
-i open dvd-rb
-i load the project i just saved

VTS02 and VTS03 are not flagged in resize half D1 menu.
is that done on purpose?

The problem is you really can't compare the two. Unlike one of the transcoder packages, DVD-RB reauthors completely. The new video is reauthored into a DVD compliant stream from scratch and then the original audio/sub picture streams as merged in appropriately with timing values adjusted to match the video source.

What makes this audio drifting so strange is the fact that I am using the original audio and it is being placed pretty much in the same temporal position as the original DVD. Since it only happens on a few DVDs it can be implied that there is some "special" circumstance that I haven't considered.

[Joergen]

Perhaps the elusive "stutter" and whats left of it, works differently in some players so that the image stays smooth but the audio creeps out of sync (where other players jerk the image to keep sync with audio). :(

[the-warriners]

I'd say that theory is worth looking into further.

[danjx]

1. DVD-R Version: 0.45
2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.67.0.23
3. ECLCCE version: 2.67.0.25
4. Bug encountered: KILL BILL NTSC, Audio_01 6-ch AC3 only;
Half-D1 and Half Space on extras ;
5. Settings: One Click Mode, CCE Mode, Verbose Status,
Dynamic assignment of cell bitrates,
Half-D1 and Half-space for Extras, CCE 4-pass
6. Result: Program ended and closed, displaying Error 9 in small
dialog
7. Comments: Since the program closed, I don't know where the error
occurred. I'll run again to see it I can be more precise.

Later: The Item.ecl file shows this bit of info:
[item]
title=V05000100002001

From the file datetime stamps, it would appear it was working on V05000100002001.vaf and V05000100002001.m2v

I don't know what pass it was on, but the last file changes occurred 3.5 hours after the start of processing. CPU is P4 3.06HT with 256MB.

Software players have a tendency to sync off the audio tracks (in case they can't keep up with video) and standalones sync off of video. If everything works okay you can't tell anyway. I sometimes wonder if the occasional stutter is associated with a player that uses the software paradigm... all speculation though.

[dancis]

Did tombraider 2 today , wich gave a buffer overflow error , and now it goes oke ! so this one is solved.

I am going to try terminator 2 once again , but this time i will leave out the DTS sound track. This one also didn't work with RB 0.45

So one solved , one to go!

[nwg]

I be surprised if T2 worked ok. It has seamless branching if it is the R1 Ultimate Edition.

A way out would to use DVD Shrink and reauthor one version of the film.

Yes it does it gradually, At the start of the movie all is fine but as it goes the audio goes out of sync the longer the chapter the more its off, at chapter point it syncs up again. I have noticed that the video seems shorter in time because the mouths move before the audio (if thats make sense) is heard. It is very noticable...

I have an audio sync problem on just chapter 11 of this DVD. All the other chapters are flawless. I noticed the problem when using InterVideo WinDVD 5 (newest updated version), and am playing the movie off my hard drive. When I play chapter 11 from the original directory that I dumped it to, it plays perfectly. Any clues?

I haven't touched the directory after running the one click, so if you need any info from there, let me know.
