1. DVD-RB Version: 0.50
2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.66
3. Using eclCCE? Yes
4. Bug encountered: BOV weirdness

This disney disc has now defeated four tools it seems (DVDStripper, DVDRemake amongst them), all because it has a questionaire game in it. DVD-RB's output ends up with unfunctional buttons (WinDVD, but buttons work in PowerDVD) and only audio playing when you start the game (the extras menu image displaying still) where there should be a text explaining what to do. This happens also in two standalones.

So at the slight expense of the main movie I renamed all the extras so DVD-RB doesnt see them, and then will rename them back after rebuild.

This makes me think an option to "not process VTS #" would be handy :)

I'd like to add though, that thanks to DVD-RB I was able to convert this originally Letterboxed (SHAME ON YOU DISNEY!) movie to a great looking anamorphic picture (came out better than I thought cause the original was clean and high bitrate).

Nope........ I do not........ just the 3 step CCE method (with 4 passes in fact)
The only thing I did different to versions before was the removal of the DTS and 1 AC audio track leaving 2 other audio tracks behind.
Do you want me to run it again with some other options?

It didn't happen on the versions pre 0.50 (I ran Nemo once with 0.49 and it came out right but then I let the DTS stay in place).
Ofcourse I am willing to rerun but should I try 0.49 with DTS out or 0.50a with DTS in?

I believe you......... but what shall I do now? Are you sure it could nothing have to do with me deselecting the DTS track?
Maybe I should add that I deselected the DTS track and ran step prepare; then I closed down rebuilder and started it again later. I hit encode but can't remember if I deselected the DTS track again. Surely that couldn't be the reason of the oversize? The selections made when running the prepare phase are saved or not?

jdobbs can give you the definitive answer, but it sounds to me like that could have done it. I can't quite tell what happened from your description, but say you click Prepare without DTS checked, DVD-RB determines a bitrate/output size without considering the space needed for the larger audio track. Then you Rebuild with DTS checked, DVD-RB adds the DTS track back in but the reencoded video is too big for all of that to fit on DVD5.

BTW, I think your audio track selections are stored somewhere in the working directory so you shouldn't have to change any of that if you reopen a project...or if you do, you'd have to start over at the Prepare step. Its a lot quicker than doing step 2 again, anyway. ;)

If you kept all your working/source files, maybe try rebuilding again with the smallest audio track.

That's exactly what I thought to! But when I restart rebuilder after the prepare phase the DTS track is selected again! And I didn't delete anything..........
So I think I started the encode with DTS selected (by default) in the window thinking it wouldn't matter because I already had ran the prepare with it........
Anyway I think the best choice now is to rerun the lot (without restarting) overnight and see what happens.....

I'm trying to backup LOTR The Return Of The King but the II phase (OPV enable) last only 10 minutes and in the III phase i get a buffer overflow (error 0004) error.

Noah
27th May 2004, 17:00
Weird stuff, Harm. Sounds like something happened in the restart, whether it was pilot error or a bug, who knows. Its kind of a pain to redo something that takes several hours, but the results are definitely worth it when it works.

boombastic,

Unless you've got RB-Farm running on a nice cluster of servers, OPV encoding in CCE should take a lot longer than 10 minutes. My guess is that your problem is there, but just doesn't manifest itself in an error until rebuilding.

27th May 2004, 23:03
I know if you REBUILD in the 3 click method with the extra DTS track (or whatever track it might be) selected, which you didn't have selected orginally, it will rebuild the disc with the extra track, and your size will be way too big to fit on a DVD, so what you're describing could possibly be the same thing. By keeping the DTS track when you reopened rebuilder, and started the encoding, DVD-RB had already calculated the size needed WITHOUT the DTS track, and now you're throwing it back into the mix, which oversizes it.

I hope this helps.

DVD-RB version: 0.50b
CCE Basic 2.67.01.19
Using eclCCE: N

Under the mode options I noticed that " Steal Space from Extras " is greyed out, but if you change encoders (say from QuEnc to CCE) the " Steal Space from Extras " is no longer greyed out and lets you pick from - 25% (Quality Drop on Extras), 33% ..... 50%, but when you pick any of the three you get " Runtime Error '387' - 'Checked' property can't be set on this control" and DVD-RB is shutdown. NO big deal but just letting you know ;)

Well as I said I reran the lot without closing down rebuilder after the prepare phase.... and the size is right now!

So I think this is an "official" bug now....
- if you deselect any of the audio tracks and only run prepare phase, close down rebuilder and start it again then your deselections are not saved and you probably have to do them again for the encode phase although I guess if you don't do them exactly the same the bitrate already calculated will be wrong.....

So I guess jdobbs that the best option would be to save those selections if that's possible ofcourse.... :D

You can also say that it's unwise to close rebuilder in the 3 step phase..... :sly:

The buffer overflow error #0004 is a definite problem which is happening on the two DVD's that I have tried, namely The Prisoner Pal R2 and The War Of The Roses Pal R2, though for me I can't say that Phase II only lasted 10 minutes, the encode was a more realistic three hours or so.

I've stopped trying. I'd also like to add that this is with ISO rips mounted in Daemon Tools, these are exact images, nothing funny.

FYI:

I had a double-disaster today. I was using all the family PC's to encode a project using RBFarm (so its partially a fault with it but cant be fixed by it I suppose), and somebody hit cancel on CCE first, then ended rbfarm (without telling me of course).

Soo, I got a 100MB undersize after rebuild. At first I thought its very odd since I've never gotten such a big undersize. I eyed the .vaf files in comparison to the .m2v files quickly and saw nothing odd there. Trail of thought here was "Oh well dvd-rb would certainly do an error if there was 100MB missing."

While I was already burning (ooh what a tragedy, a whole 0.8€) I first realised I had encoded with disable interlaced for VTS_03 but rebuilt without this option (so stream gets marked interlaced again), and then I saw that one .m2v was 54MB and its vaf was 3500KB (where it shouldhave been around 1000KB) so there was the runaway chunk that I didnt see.

(crowd: get to the point!)

My point is:

1. Could you make a sanity check for the length of the .m2v?
2. And also for compiling progressive .m2v as interlaced in the .vob

Thank you!

The ecl files created by DVD-RB 0.51 doesn't contain any vbr_brate_max value anymore. Is this behaviour intended, or did this line got somewhere lost when fixing the max. bitrate bug? I had this when using progressive PAL sources in CCE Mode (both Basic and SP). Of course these encodes didn't respect the max. bitrate value in the rebuilder.ini at all.

i'm doing a OPV test now and it has it, I'll be running a regular VBR run before I go to bed and will check. Perhaps it is a PAL issue? Or are you saying it's not using your custom Max bitrate you set in the rebuilder.ini?

1. DVD-RB Version: 0.50a
2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.67.00.23
3. Using eclCCE? Yes
4. DVD: Finding Nemo
5. Bug encountered: Slight audio delay on DC track

On this DVD there are 4 audio tracks. The 4th track being the Director's comment which is 2 channels (the other 3 are 6 channels).
Although it's difficult to check for a delay on the other tracks I think they are right. The 4th track is definitely off (slightly too early). You can see that e.g. with the introduction where the director is talking.
I ran this one with DTS track (track 2) deselected.

Is this a new one? Should I rerun it with the latest version or with other options?

i analysed some more dvds with the following result:

NTSC + interlaced: ok
PAL + progressive: ok
PAL + interlaced: vbr_brate_max missing.

(all vbr. the opv value was always ok)

so it does only happen when using PAL sources without an progressive frame flag (and not when using PAL progressive what a said by mistake before)

btw, the complete line is missing (and not only the value)

DVD-RB 0.51
CCE 2.67.00.27
LOTR - Two Towers EE (pal)

A little problem with subtitles: the hidden feature of mtv awards with gollum doesn't display (portuguese) subtitles although it remains selected (at Power DVD). I didn't remove any subtitles and didn't try previous versions on it, should I run 0.50 to compare?

Although I checked all but 2 subtitles (English and Dutch) to be removed still the Hebrew subtitle remains.
According to my player it is not recognized as Hebrew (subtitle picture 10 is displayed) but still the subtitle streamcode is IW.

And again jdobbs have you found an opportunity to look at my previous problem with the audio delay of Finding Nemo?

I don't know if this bug has been reported yet or not. I just tried the one pass feature on Tombstone. The movie is about 5.5 GB before RB. The final output came out to 7.8 GB.:confused:
I removed all audio except the 5.1 and kept all subs.

@jdobbs

BIG ERROR in 51c (probably earlier, but just picked it up).

Was using RB to 'shrink' (down to 4.37gb) and adjust the picture (reset the color/gamma) of a HOME RECORDED DVD-R (recorded on the Panasonic DMR-E80). After passing thru RB the video is TOTALLY farkled... the familar 'horizinal hold' effect.

After checking the output video vs the input video.. found two very important differences...

input video 704x480, 29.97fps

output from RB 720x480, 23.97fps

checked the ECL files and sure enough...

[item]
width=740
height=480
frame_rate_idx=1

this was NOT always this way... I had tried processing/shinking a home-recorded disc way back when the 'ficker' was an issue and it came thru ok... so somewhere along the way RB stopped picking up the actual video parameters...

OOPS!

Would like to say firstly, a big thanks to jdobbs for a great program you have created.

Ok, back to a bug I might have found with the use of DVD-Rebuilder 0.51c (and possibly other versions) and CCE Basic 2.69.01.08. The bug is that DVD-Rebuilder does not seem to set the correct 'Quality_Prec' for the encodes.

Looking at the ecl file created, it is definitely missing a:

pict_qchar=32

Which sets to a specified Quality_Prec (in this case it is 32), atm mine is defaulting to 16 no matter what is set.

I hope you can look into it to fix this problem. Also does the VBR_Bias have any use in CCE Basic? If so I do not see any settings in the ecl to correspond to this either.

Again, thanks for a great program... and my first posting because I just wanted you to note this. =)

OOPS! Sorry to say: but it has always been this way. I'll take a look at it, though. In the meantime I'd suggest you put a filter in for LanzosResize(720,480). Don't overanalyze the framerate. That's how it is supposed to work in DVD-RB, it will be corrected in the rebuild phase.

OK, I can accept that the framerate may not be an issue (after looking at some things I see that), but I can assure you that the SIZE 704 vs 720 has not. Before the homemades have gone thru prop....

hmmm...

just realized that this may be an issue of AUTHORING programs... my older ones that I used were done with program 'x', the later ones done with program 'y'... (no names till I identify the guilty)... I'll go back to a earlier created disc and see what happens.

Are you getting the stream resolution from the IFO's or the MPEG headers???? (I hate to say it, but it may be time for another "advanced" option... 'override stream resolution' :(

I'll get back with you shortly..

Rombaldi
6th June 2004, 00:12
@jdobbs

well, I went back to an older disc, one that I had successfully processed thru before that has 704x480 video and it ALSO was 'deformed' to 720x480 instead of 704x480...

I stuck in a "Addborders (8,0,8,0) to pad the sides (figured it would be faster than the resize and not distort the frame) and it's chugging now..

I know that at ONE POINT this didn't happen... so if you can find anything it would be nice :)

At one point the DVD compliant flag was set as on in DVD-RB. But the definition of that flag was redefined in CCE Basic to include changing the framerate, so I had to disable it. When DVD compliant is set any input that is not 720xNNN is resized automatically and padded with black bars -- that was a complaint a lot of people had because Half-D1 input would be centered on a 720x480 (for example) black-background screen.

You could have run a job back when it was set as the default, and the borders may have been added for you.

Your're right. Adding the border is better -- as long as it stays in the overscan areas on playback.

So, (if I don't do the 'AddBorders') it's still resizing to 720x480, but not padding then and instead distoring the picture??? Hmmm... what happens now if you feed it half-D1 input? will that also get distorted or ?????

:confused:

ADDENDUM:

I *DID* try and going in to edit the ECL file(s) and changed the frame size to 704x480 and then ran the encode, everything DID come out correctly in the rebuild.. but it is a pain in the tookas to have to edit the ECL's by hand :D Any chance of an 'override' in the expert to cover things like this??

Half-D1 comes out fine. Even in the old versions of CCE you had to turn DVD-Compliant off. Is it coming out distorted? Frankly, if you have something in a 4:3 or 16:9 format I wouldn't have thought so.

Yup.. it's going in 4:3, 704x480 and coming out 4:3, 720x480 with the 'horizontal hold' out of whack (best way to describe it)...

:cool:



Okay thats it. I hope you understood me, because my english isn`t the best...

You have to run encode with the same selections made for CCE as you did when you ran the prepare phase! (I know; something similar happened to me when I started using rebuilder!).

So whenever you change something in your setup (especially the selections for CCE) rerun the prepare phase first........ :D

When pressing "Encode", i get the massage "No path defined - No CCE Path has been set..." Pressing "Optoins - Setup" th choose CCE Path, i used only (!) "Path to CCE SP 2.50" tho show path to CCE. Pressing "Options - CCE Options" i used "CCE SP (v2.50)" But when i press "Encode" now und got the failure massages, i go to "Options - CCE Options" it is set to CCE SP (v2.67+). only when i use the path to "CCE Basic" in "Options - Setup" and set the way to my CCE SP 2.50.01. DVDRebuilder beginns to work with no failure message, and i got this log:

Donald Nicehttp:// c:\test You say you are not using ECLCCE --- but ECLCCE is required for CCE 2.50 (which is what you are using).

Like I said on the other post and jdobbs just did and the Sticky: DVD ReBuilder: Installation, Setup, and Usage post does...
YOU NEED TO USE ECLCCE WITH CCE 2.50 NO MATER WHAT for it to work with DVD-ReBuiler... oh and point Eclcce to your cctsp.exe first before running DVD-RB


Hope this helps

EDIT: Mater...lol

EDIT-2: DVD-ReBuiler ...LMAO

ReBuilder v052
CCE SP 2.50
ECLCCE latest version

If I use DVDRB to rebuild a DVD everything goes fine. But next time, after the prepare phase, the CCE window opens and just hangs.
Then I have to reboot the PC and re-install CCE and ECLCCE, when the process starts again - ie, one encode goes fine but the next one hangs. If I try to use CCE with DVD2SVCD or D2SRoba, it just won't play ball. It's like it's become internally corrupted. Only a re-install solves the problem.
As a side note, when I reboot my PC, my start menu has been changed - I keep having to re-enable "Show Quick Launch".

Am I doing something horrifically dumb?

BTW.. I finally tracked back and way back to one of the BFF test versions, it would go on 704x480 and come OUT 704x480 .. don't have that many older versions but I amazingly still had that one...

@Jdobbs
It's not a bug, it's more a cosmetic thing.
I didn't want open a new thread, so I posted here...

I'm backing up a DVD, with 3 VTS:
VTS1 average bitrate 2590, reduction 42,6
VTS2 average bitrate 2135, reduction 42,6
VTS3 average bitrate 2741, reduction 42,6

If I enable Steal Space from Extras (using 50%), I get:
VTS1 average bitrate 2914, reduction 42,6
VTS2 average bitrate 1067, reduction 42,6
VTS3 average bitrate 1370, reduction 42,6

While the bitrate are correct, I think DVD-RB doesn't update the
Reduction=
in Rebuilder.inf

If it's not a problem, could you update it? It's useful for addons programs (as RB-Opt, ECL Optimizer ...) which rely on that parameter.

Sorry for my english, I hope I've been clear in my explanation.

Actually I just thought about it... in the way I do it the reduction, the percentage does stay the same... I just give more space to movie and less to the extras... then use the reduction against the new numbers. I'll take a look and see if there is a better way to compute the percentage. I have to be careful, though, as that number influences how I use ReJig.

thanks.
What about a final calculation, updating the percentage, according to the original bitrate and the final calculated bitrate?
Anyway, If you update the percentage, also in Rejig you could use the "steal space from extras" (but I don't know if it's a good suggestion, as at high compression Rejig's quality is bad and output filesize could not be exact).
