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

[Oldeman]

DVD-RB .46
QuEnc .49

sync problems and audio dropouts (English 5.1 DD track) throughout movie. If you do chapter advance, they (audio+video) re-sync and fairly quicky get out of sync again. Others have reported similar problems I think.

I have not experienced this audio sync problem when using ReJig.

In earlier versions of DVD-RB, when using QuEnc, I had stutter problems with the video. These appear to gone now and I'm seeing the audio sync/dropout problems whereas with the video stutter, they were not that evident.

The QuEnc video looks very smooth and good now....

It's almost there...

[lab-one]

It seems everyone that has mentioned that movie has come across the 0byte VOB. It appears it gives Nero fits. I use ImageToolClassic to create an ISO after DVD-RB is done and then burn it with DVDDecryptor. So, that file didn't give me any problems.

[insanescape]

Nero cries, but it doesn't affect the functionality of the DVD. And it has nothing to do with DVD-RB: If you decrypt a dvd with 0 bytes and right away take the folder into nero, it still whines.

DVD works fine though

[wgw]

JDOBBS,

If I delete the source path that was set in rebuilder for the last run, the next time I open rebuilder, it completely resets the .ini and I lose all my paths and custon settings. Can you set it up so that rebuilder only blanks out the paths that no longer exist rather than reseting the entire .ini file.

[kadilak]

With version 0.46 I'm still seeing DVD-RB take up about 30% of the processor while it's waiting on CCE. This strikes me as strange because in previous versions it only took 20-25%.

[onesoul]

DVD-RB 0.46
CCE 2.67.00.27
DVD: Monty Python, Meaning of life - special edition (PAL)

At the menu I select "With Prologue" which is presented by Eric Idle but after the introduction finishes it freezes when it was supposed to carry on to the "Our Feature Presentation", I have no option than to push menu button. Then I select "Play Movie" but there seems to be the same problem when changing from "Our Short Feature Presentation" to next chapter which is when "Our Feature Presentation" begins. The rest of chapters are ok. This doesn't happen with PC dvd software and neither original at stand alone.

edit: it seems that it also freezes at the end of movie not going to menu.

Regards

[insanescape]

just tell everyone it's DVD-RB "monitoring" CCE to make sure it stays in line, since everyone knows that CCE is like the cowboy encoder and likes to do its own thing if you're not watchign.

[danjx]

No error 9 with Kill Bill on DVDRB v.46 with half d1 and half space for extras. The results look fine.

[sup191]

@Msc_Alex

I've tried recoding Fletch Lives with DVD-RB .30 with the exact same settings as .46 and the audio sync is still off for only chapter 11.

@jdobbs

Any insight on to why just one chapter displays audio sync issues? The original DVD dump on my hard drive works perfectly.

[swmiller]

I am using
DVD Rebuilder V 0.45 & 0.46
CCE SP V2.67
ECLCCE V1.81
Encoding Frailty & Gladiator

On Gladiator it reached the end 100% of rebuild phase before the error (I was using DVD_RB V 0.45 on that movie) UpdateIFO Failed should not happen contact developer. With Frality (DVD_RB V 0.46) It gives me the same error at 65.2% of rebuild phase.
I tried to uninstall everything and reinstalled it all and got the same error in the same spot.

Hmmm, after futher testing the problem is no longer happening. Do you know what might cause DVDRebuilder to reset the ini file. I have not changed anything in my setup. I am using RBFarm so perhaps something is happening as a result. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

[mpennel]

DVD-RB appears to not be setting the flag for Half D1 correctly when doing batch processing. I'm setting up a batch process to run overnight, and some of the saved projects are in half-D1, and some aren't. It appears that DVDRB may not be reading the saved information about whether I want half-D1 ON or OFF, but instead of keeping Half-D1 ON for all the batch processling if it is turned ON in the drop down under MODE...it's hard to explain, and it's still quirky, since I'm just messing with it. Regardless, it is related to this problem:

Anyhow, in additon to that batch weirdness, it appears that if I save out a project with Half-D1 turned OFF, and then load in a project with Half-D1 turned ON, and the reload the project with Half-D1 turned OFF again, the drop down still check-marks Half-D1, leaving it ON when I want it OFF. Does this make any sense?

Thus, I did the above, just to make sure my drive paths were correct, etc, and hit process the batch job, and DVD-RB instantly told me it was using Half-D1 for Extras, when I had clearly saved out my first batch job with Half D1 turned OFF!

Whew, now I'm confused. :D I hope I've described the problem enough for others to try to recreate, which should be easy enough, since it's just a matter of saving and loading project files.

rebuilded without any probs. No crashing, no errors, no problems with single frame encodes. Superb!
Disc doesn't work tho but it's my fault.. I didn't check it earlier.. this dvd has menu in VTS_01_1.VOB! :( It uses BOV i suppose (is there any other way of doing menu in _1.VOB ?) so it won't work with DVD-RB.
Stupid me :)
Might seem kinda stupid to answer own posts but just wanted to say that i've redid that Extras Disc with DVD-RB 0.46 and QuEnc and all the BoV in it work perfectly ok (and there are quite some of them there). I've seen someone (RB?) mentioning Philips not liking DVD RB produced backups. I've tested my backup on Philips 737 and there was no problem either.

JDobbs big, great, huge THANK YOU for this awsome app.

All the people reporting problem with Philips (myself included), use CCE.
Me and robgarib (still) have problems on a Philips 743 and 612.
Husage reports succes on a Philips 727 with CCE SP Trial 2.66.
I have tried that, same results :(
Both you (RobertR) and Huesage have the newer Philips models (727, 737)
Me and robgarib have older models.
I suspect it's a Philips glitch, and since they are outdated, there's no hope for a FW update. :( :(

Unfortunately the problem is not related to CCE but in Dvdrb itself.
I've got the same problem using dvbrb with Quenc 049 while using transcoders (IC8 - Dvd shrink - Dcs - Clonedvd2) everything works well.
The strange thing is that some weeks ago in the tests with the older versions of dvdrb i have made some perfect copies (Matrix revolutions - Swat - Mona Lisa smile).
Please Jdobbs try to correct this bug.
I like dvdrb and i wish to use it.
Thanks.

I am still having sync problems and audio dropouts in my Toshiba DVD players using DVD-RB/QuEnc. The audio gets progressivly ahead of the video. Skippping to a new chapter gets it back in sync briefly.

This problem does not occur or is minimal on my Apex1500 and my Philips DVDR75 Recorder/player..

Any ideas?

DVD-RB/ReJig movies do not have this problem.

DVD-RB just keeps getting better and better........

[beretta79]

Rebuilding the Sopranos - Season 1 Disc 1
Works fine to rebuild the original rip. But I tried removing the opening credit scenes from each episode using DvdRemake and I get a buffer overflow error 0003. I've also tried running it through DVD Shrink with no compression after DvdRemake with the same result. It plays fine on PowerDVD after using DvdRemake. This has happened with every version of DVD-RB up to the current 0.47.

I've preprocessed using DvdRemake and/or DVD Shrink many times with complete success, except for this one DVD. I've also read about many others having success preprocessing. So I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to make this work, or if I have to settle with no preprocessing on the Sopranos. Thanks.

[jhmac]

Try running it through DVDRemake after DVD-RB it worked for me in a simalar situation...

Right now i'm reencoding those Nemo extras using CCE (SP Trial 2.67.0.27 -- btw RB switching to it solved my problem of CCE crashing on single I-frames). Later today i'll test this on 737 and on 743 of my neighbour and report how did it behave.
As for FW update You might just check with some local service-center or look at http://philips.ianc.net

Apparently the "Could not open Video Codec" is a known problem; there's a thread on it in the QuENC forum.

The "Error in UpdateIFO" happened again (on a different DVD), this time with no QuENC error.

The "Error in UpdateIFO" happened again (on a different DVD), this time with no QuENC error.

Happened with me, also, on the 24 Season 1 DVD.

Also, I got the "Unknown video codec" error as well, but ONLY on the last two segments. The encoding was already at 98% or so done already.

[jdobbs]

If the encoding fails -- the liklihood of getting a good rebuild is very low. The "Error in IFOUpdate" is because after the encoding error, the original DVD no longer matches what you have encoded, and the rebuilder gets confused.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to test it as DVD RB aborted during rebuild phase with Error #4. It was on segment 5 of vobid 6 in vts 6. It's not a still frame it's intro animation for some puzzle game. As soon as i got that error i've checked .avs and .m2v. AVS was playable but M2V gave me "Error rendering file" in Media Player Classic. I've butchered (copy of) REBUILDER.ecl and encoded just that particular file. This time m2v was playable but DVD RB still aborts with #4 error.
I've tested this with 0.46 and 0.47 of DVD RB; CCE 2.67.0.27, EclCCE 1.8.1. The disc is Finding Nemo R2 PAL (Polish edition). No deinterlacing or 1/2D1 was checked. Just the "Dynamicaly assign..."
DVD was ripped to iso file using DVDDecrypter 3.2.2.0 and mounted using Daemon Tools. I'll try to rip it to files and rerun DVD RB and see how it will go this time

Finding Nemo uses seamless branch afair and DVD-RB doesn't support this - yet (afair).

Sorry i'm a bit hungry atm and i've eaten one word:

I'm trying to back up Extras of Finding Nemo R2 PAL (PL edition).
(strangely enough this dvd backed up perfectly when using QuEnc -- i just wasn't satisfied with the quality of animated parts)

DVD: Fletch Lives NTSC R1

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.

** Updated **
I posted this a few days back, but have since upgraded my DVD-RB and CCE version and get the same results. Chapter 11's audio is still off by a fraction of a second.

** Update #2 **
I just reran Fletch Lives with .48 and the audio in chapter is better, but still off by a hair. I don't know the the ff/rw fix effected this or not, but I'm getting a slightly different result. I also have the same exact problem with The Thin Red Line in chapter 1. I've done about 5 other movies since my last update and they all work fine with no audio sync problems.

[Joergen]

Are you sure its not like that in the original DVD? A suspicious mind can see and hear funny things ;)

How does it work in a standalone?

I assume this doesn't apply to my second post (10th May 2004 16:14), where I wrote "this time with no QuENC error."

Also, I got a different error with 0.47 - again with no error from QuENC. This time, I got a pop-up saying "Improper VIDEO_TS.IFO file. ABORTING"

The last thing in the status window is:
- Updated IFO: VTS_04_0.IFO
Correcting VTS Sectors...

After clearing the pop-up, the status window added:

Phase III, REBUILD completed in 240 minutes.

Done.
-----------------------------------------------------

When I went to check the VIDEO_TS.IFO, there was none in my source directory, and there was a 0-byte one in my Rebuilder target directory. I have no idea why there wasn't one in the source directory; might have been nice if this was checked up-front rather than after 36 hours of chugging away. (It would really be nice if the program had grabbed the BUP file instead, but that would be "exceeding expectations".)

Can I get it to finish up the rebuild phase without having to redo everthing?

Thanks.

I'm guessing you're referring to my post. So many posts in this thread, one can easily get confused! :)

Yes. I've run the original and backup both on WinDVD and my Sony standalone DVD player. For the backups, Chapter 11 in Fletch Lives and Chapter 1 in Thin Red Line both have audio lip sync issues. The originals play fine in both. It's VERY obvious in TRL. Every other chapter works fine. I did a backup of The Fugitive and The Fifth Element last night and they came out perfect.

[NobbyNobbs]

Just delete the final VIDEO_TS folder,make a copy of the original VIDEO_TS.BUP, and rename to VIDEO_TS.BUP, then choose rebuild again :D

[lamster]

Got another "Shouldn't happen"; this time with v0.49. Still using QuENC 0.51. Last thing in the status window was:

- Rebuilding segment 48 VOBID:56 CELLID:1
- Updating information in NAVPACKS...

That corresponds with the end of VTS_01.

I note that the source directory doesn't contains a VTS_02_0.VOB or VTS_03_1.VOB; it looks like:

...
VTS_01_6.VOB
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.IFO
VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_03_0.BUP
VTS_03_0.IFO
VTS_03_1.VOB

Could this be the cause of the problem?

I tried creating 0-byte VTS_02_0.VOB and VTS_03_1.VOB and rerunning the Rebuild phase, and got the same error.

That's a tough one. I just upgraded to 3.2.2.0 last night. One of the machines I'm working with was at 3.2.1.0; the other one was running an older version. I don't recall exactly which one. (Maybe 3.1.7? I'll see if I still have the older SetupDVDDecrypter_3.x.y.z.exe on that machine when I get home.)

AviSynth Version : 2.54

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 have confirmed that 0.49 fixes this problem alltogether (even though jdobbs in his modesty didnt mention this in the readme). Prepare gives only 33 segments and no more stutter on playback at scene(segment) changes.

This movie was the largest reduction I've done yet by percentage (53.7%) but the average bitrate was still 3.950kbps (one of the highest I've done) complete with a 2ch 160MB commentary track, which gives you an idea of the bitrate of the original! The quality of the output is superb.

Thanks again jdobbs!

Nope - didn't save the older setup program. I think it was 3.1.7.0.

If you're thinking if the entry in the DVD Decrypter change log that says:
Fixed: Big bug in ISO Read mode where files following 0 bytes files weren't decrypted
that doesn't apply; I always use file mode.

Brother Bear DVD (PAL - R2)

Is interlaced but not detected as such. When you load the avs in virtualdubmod you can clearly see the combing. Is there a way to force DVDRB to treat a VTS as interlaced (and hence add the decomb lines) like there is to not deinterlace. If not would it be possible?? (hint, hint! :) ).

[Or if not could someone please recommend a good search and replace proggy to go through the multiple avs files and add the line :D ]

Cheers

[jdobbs]

If it isn't marked as interlaced... if very probably isn't interlaced. DVD-RB gets the information from the MPEG stream itself. The likelihood that that is incorrect if pretty slim (notice I didn't say impossible). Sometimes the apparent combing can be just bad editing on the original or the result of some misinformed DVD author trying to make progressive out of an interlaced source.

Of course there's always the possibility that I've done something wrong that somehow gets brought out by a particular disc or set of circumstances ;) -- as these threads show, it wouldn't be the first time.

Many thanks for the reply. I should have attached a picture. (Captured from virtualdub from a representative frame from the avs file]

DVD: The Prisoner PAL R2 boxset Disc 1



Okay, I am having a problem with "The Prisoner", which is an episodic DVD.

At the rebuild stage it gets to Vob Id 1, Cell ID 5
then says:

"Dvd Rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0004. Process must abort."

I can post IFO's and so on if any use, also a feature request is to be able to resume from where we left off.

Also I think some of the menu choices could be made more user friendly, i.e. if "audio dub(blank clip)" is not needed for CCE 2.67+ then that option should be automatically de-selected and greyed out.

Congrats for a very promising program, I will donate when it gets past beta for sure.

[AndyP]

[Or if not could someone please recommend a good search and replace proggy to go through the multiple avs files and add the line]

Well I couldn't find one, so I wrote one. Goes through all the avs files and adds the deinterlace bits. It does not detect if it is there already so make sure the Disable Interlaced option is set for all VTSs.

2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.50.01.00
3. Using eclCCE? Yes
4. Bug encountered: "Run-time error '75' Path/File access error"

I encounter this run-time error near the end of the 'prepare' phase when trying to backup Criterion editions of The Last Wave and Monty Python's Life of Brian.

Please let me know if I can supply more useful information.

I refer to the message by Joergen in RB-Opt thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75202&perpage=20&pagenumber=4)
I think that DVD-RB encode stills in CBR to avoid problem (if I'm not wrong). At least that's wat I saw in a Rebuilder.ecl from a prepare phase using CCE SP 2.50.
Instead I found this sections in Rebuilder.inf and Rebuilder.ecl (and Joergen confirmed it was encoded VBR).
Probably he bug is with CCE SP 2.66+

If it isn't marked as interlaced... if very probably isn't interlaced. DVD-RB gets the information from the MPEG stream itself. The likelihood that that is incorrect if pretty slim (notice I didn't say impossible). Sometimes the apparent combing can be just bad editing on the original or the result of some misinformed DVD author trying to make progressive out of an interlaced source.
First, compliments on a fantastic piece of software!

I have been struggling to understand progressive/interlaced coding and how DVD-RB works with it. Bad Boys 2, for example, has 3 progressive frames to 2 interlaced frames in several cells (3:2 pulldown?). I checked this by playing a .AVS with FieldDeinterlace(blend=false, show=true) and stepping frames. I guess this is common, although here its 24fps not 30fps(??). Anyway, a DVD2AVI preview shows these scenes as PROGRESSIVE, strangely. DVD-RB successfully identifies these scenes as interlaced. My questions are:

When DVD-RB analyzes the MPEG stream and reads how its marked, does it do this on a frame to frame basis? If there are only a small portion of few frames marked as interlaced, does the entire cell get marked in the ecl files? I've read around to find clarity on this subject to no avail.

Given possible mixed progressive-interlaced coding, shouldn't FieldDeinterlace be used with full=false to only process the frames detected as combed? It seems to work well with the standard detection thresholds. The Decomb511 default is FieldDeinterlace(full=true) according to the reference manual. Would it even be safe to add Fielddeinterlace(blend=false,full=false) to every avs file just in case there are some portions interlaced?

And sorry for the newbie questions, but after a Fielddeinterlace, why is ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true) necessary? Hasn't it just been deinterlaced or is colorspace conversion something entirely different?

If I am way off in my understanding of this business of interlaced coding, could someone help clarify. I am also a bit hazy on when it is necessary to deinterlace. My understanding is you should do this only when you aren't happy with your player's deinterlacing. Stand-alones connected to progressive displays do this just fine, right? wmansir expanded on the settings description in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=474136&highlight=progressive+deinterlace#post474136).

Again, DVD-RB is great jdobbs. Thanks!
