Only if you select it. jdobbs, I was refering to what Wilbert told about.

If you deinterlace before converting to YUY2, you should use

FieldDeinterlace(blend=false) # probably better to use KernelDeint
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=false)

or what is the same

FieldDeinterlace(blend=false) # probably better to use KernelDeint
ConvertToYUY2()

I get a 'Runtime Error 52: Bad File Name or Nuber' when I start DVD-RB.

I've trouble shooted the problem and it's because the source folder no longer exists. I unmounted the ISO and the re-started DVD-RB. When I comment out the 'SOURCE=' line in the INI file, the error stops.

Aside from that, EXCELLENT software. I'm pleased I finally have a 1-Click solution that supports CCE.

Keep up the good work!

Also, quick question. You say you want people to buy CCE Basic for $59, but from what i've seen, couldn't I just use the CCE Trial with eclCCE and it'll allow my to do multi-pass? Is there an advantage to the full version of CCE Basic compared to the trial of CCE SP with eclCCE?

Again, great software. I cant sing enough praise! :D

@djan - and others whom are interested

In my experience, Telecide() is a better choice over FieldDeinterlace() - at least for PAL users anyway. FieldDeinterlace (even with 'blend=false') generates unacceptable "artifacts." Check out this thread:

You'll see what I mean after reading through it :cool:

I have no connection to Cinema Craft and don't want to appear to "want" anyone to do anything -- but I do believe that their encoder is the best on the market and as such is deserving of purchase. I personally bought it for that reason.

[KungFuCow]

If youre using the trial version in it's true form, there will be a watermark on your encoding project, if you aren't, well, shame on you.

I bought CCE Basic since this is what JDobbs is developing with. Had everyone done this, it would have saved him a lot of headaches Ill bet.

4. Bug encountered:

Movie (The Eye, PAL R2) stops showing subtitles after chapter 10 (about an hour into the movie). Rewinding to previous chapter, enables the subtitles again. Before rewinding, I tried changing subtitles, but to no effect. It was as if it needed to "resync".

This occurs on both my Pioneer DV343 and my Euroline standalones, as well as in PowerDVD.

The output had been burned with Nero and Nero reported no errors whatsoever.

[DrVenkman]

I was told to post this here and not the other thread so here goes...

A little problem I got is that I tried backing up 'Black Hawk Down' R2 Pal. Now the disc itself is around 6.5 Gigs, with about 6 gigs being just the movie. I ran the 'Prepare' stage and got this;

-----------------
Phase I, PREPARATION started - Time: 12:20:21
- VTS_02: 2,878,832 sectors.
-- Scanning and writing .D2V file
-- 207,650/0 FRAMES/RFFS
-- Building .AVS and .ECL files
- Reduction Level for DVD-5: 41.4%
- Overall Bitrate : 1,889Kbs
Phase I, PREPARATION complete - Time: 12:25:34

Surely 1.8kbs is a bit low for a movie like BHD? So I started encoding with CCE and worked out roughly (By the file size it was so far compared to the percentage completed) that I would get about a 3-3.5gb output file. Bear in mind this has no DTS track either, just 5.1 and 3 commentaries.

I tried it with Re-jig and to be honest it came out pretty bad with quite a bit of Pixelation, and this wasn't even on any of the battle scenes.

Any suggestions?

[Oldeman]

version .31
QuEnc .45
Run time 5 on Vob 3 cellid 1

movie Predator R1
hid extras and menu buttons with DVDReMake

options: one click, minimize, dynamic bit rate, supress warnings

Run Rebuilder with ReJig.. worked fine.
Run Rebuilder with QuEnc.. error 5 on VOB 3 cell ID 1

QuEnc has failed on three dffent movies the same way, It always seems to fail on VOD 3 Cell id 1..???? In two cases, I've ended up with about half of the chapters of the main feature.
It could be QuEnc :confused: ReJig :)

Hi there:

I have been using your software for a few days, and must say that it’s a GREAT program.

I already made movies using CCE, QuEnc and Rejig, all with great success.

But… I am trying to compress some DVD episodes of the 2nd world war, and in all of them I get the Run-time error ‘9’ Subscript out of range.

But this only happens at this DVD episodes. When doing full movies, all goes very well.

I ripped the full DVD episode to the hard disk with DVD Decrypter. I am using DVD-RB 0.31, with CCE trial 2.67.00.23 in conjunction with eclCCE 1.8b, and the latest Rejig and QuEnc.
All was installed following the readme to the letter.

The error appears in the Prepare stage, and happens with CCE, QuEnc and Rejig.

[dvdRENEGADE]

jdobbs,
Would it possible for DVD-RB to check for button commands within vob sets (button over video) and then to pop up a notice that DVD-RB doesn't support this feature yet as it does with seamless branching, etc.?

Just when I thought I found perfection - it hits me with a video stutter/jumpyness when I played the DVD-R on the standalone player. The same DVD-R (encoded from DVD-RB 0.31) works perfectly on the computer but not on the standalone. But I wonder why!?

So I guess I join all those eager users waiting and hoping to see this fixed.

Hi jdobbs, hi folks


first off all a big thanks to you, jdobbs, your program is great !

Second a hint to all users of CCE 2.50: If you use the task manager to set the priority of DVDRebuilder at "low" before starting the encoding process, all resulting daughter processes, thats EclCCE und CCE itself, will also run at low priority. That will allow you to do something else with your pc when CCE is running.

1. DVD-RB Version: 0.31
2. Encoder being used: CCE-SP 2.50
3. Using eclCCE? Y (1.8b)
4. Bug encountered:

I just did Matrix Revolutions PAL RC2 ( german version ) und the following bug occured:

DVDRebuilder worked through all steps normally, but Nero 5.5.10.35 complained that it cannot reallocate the files because the size of one of the files is not a multiple of 2048 byte.

After that I loaded the resulting files into IfoEdit 0.96 and by using "correct VTS_Sectors" IfoEdit reports that the start block of the second VTS had to be corrected from 0 to 7.

Nevertheless, even after correcting this Nero again gave the error message that it cannot reallocate the files.

I ignored that error message and the burned result works 100% in my CH402 DVD player.

I checked the size of the resulting files, and all but one had a size which is a multiple of 2048 bytes. But both the original VTS_02_0.VOB and the resulting VTS_02_0.VOB had a size of 0 bytes. Could that be the reason why Nero and Ifoedit are complaining ?


BTW.: Maybe somebody else asked before, but are there any chances that future releases of DVDRebuilder will be able also to compress the menu videos ? For example, on this DVD the VTS_01_0.VOB is 445MB, so compressing the menus could save some bitrate for the main movie.

I have got the same thing with my Matrix Revolutions (UK). I got round it by deleting 2_0.VOB. Nero complained it was no referenced. Nero then burned it sucessfully and it plays fine.

I thought DVD-RB had mucked it up but it was like that on the source DVD.

Note: sory if this was covered already in the other thread...I read all the posts in this thread but didnt see anything.

1. DVD-R Version: 0.31
2. Encoder being used: CCE sp 2.50.01.00
3. Using eclCCE? Yes
4. Bug encountered:

im tryin to make a backup of jurasic park and every time I try using DVD-RB the output is WAY to big. 8.91 gigs actualy, even though the original is only 7.47 gigs. I tryed both the "one click" and "three click" methods. I also tryed checking the "resize to half D1" option, but its still 8.91 gigs. Any help would be great! thanks.

[VampHuntD]

Hey Jdobbs, got an issue using these

DVD-RB .31
CCE 2.67.03
ECL 1.7b

After I burn the burn to disc, I experiance some small stutters after a new chapter starts on the disc. It always happens a litle after the chapter starts. It seems this only happens on my xbox however. This was the same issue I had in .26 The Xbox has never stuttered on a backup other than a dvd-rb backup.

And as for the suggestion I made earlier, wouldn't it be possible for DVD-RB to use the same Bitrate calc that apps like RA and DIF4U use? I think having that ability (To select bitrates and have them calculted) would make this app absolutly unstoppable, not that it isn't already! Thanks for all your work!

[Joergen]

Now there's a common denominator! If jdobbs can find an xbox to test with and replicate the stutter, he can finally see it in action.

Here is a bug report encountered on PITCH BLACK :

1. DVD-R Version: 0.31
2. Encoder being used: CCE SP 2.66 Trial
3. Using eclCCE? Y
4. Bug encountered: During the Rebuild phase, I have the following message "DVD rebuilder experienced a buffer overflow. Error #0003. Process must abort", I check the m2v where it ended it's not a still frame movie. It's the movie generated for the VOBID:01, CELLID:16.

I'll try to regenerate the movie file with another encoder and rerun the merge part.

C.U. NanoBot After I get the BOV portions working it should be fairly easy to compress menus as well. I wasn't planning to do this -- but it appears to be a popular request. I personally like to keep menus intact... but I bow to the will of the masses.

It worked !!! I reencoded the movie from VOBID:01, CELLID:16 with TMPGEnc, applying the pulldown directly with it...and it worked the error in DVD-R appeared the next movie cell....

@jdobbs : My conclusion of this experiment is => the buffer overflow Error #0003 is an error coming from the pulldown part in the merge operation.....

Where can I set the size of finalize reencoded DVD? I get still a relatively big undersize (cca 50-60 MB!).

[Tironic]

1. DVD-R Version: 0.31
2. Encoder being used: ReJig
3. Using eclCCE? N
4. Bug encountered: Major stuttering in WiNDVD Platinum with Underworld R1.
It's kind of strange. Only the second 'half' of the dvd stutters if you seek with the timeshifter. The video can't keep up with the audio.
The dvd pays fine in Media Player Classic 6.4.7.8.
I haven't played it on a standalone dvd-player, cause i don't want to wast any dvds

I'm still convinced that the stuutering might have some thing to do with layer breaks and with the demuxing proces of the vobs to mpv/m2v in the prepare-fase (but i might be horribly wrong).

The rebuilding is mighty fine.
I used vobedit the demux the original vobs to ac3/m2v/sup. I replaced the original sups with dutch sups i made with srt2sup. I then authored with ifoedit to vobs.
I replaced the original vobs with the newly authored vobs. These vobs were then the template for ONLY the rebuild fase.
After rebuilding i got a perfect DVDr copy with dutch subs. :D
So i think it won't be hard to implement sup-replacement support.

I hope this helps you all a bit. Keep up the good work jdobbs. I really appreciate what you're doing.

50 MB, isn't that only 1%?

Or you can enter it for individual encoders with "CCETargetSectors=", "ReJigTargetSectors=", and "QuEncTargetSectors=" the value represents the number of 2KB sectors to aim for and can be set up to 2297888. Be careful, though because encoding isn't 100% accurate and you can oversize easily.

But if you are within 50-60MB you are within 1.3% of the maximum size for the disc.

IT WORKED.:) Many thanks. I still need to test if the movie will come out ok, but it didn't show the error anymore.

Thanks again :)

P.S. I didn't used my brain (at least for searching the solution), like you so wisely have in your sig :D

EDIT1:But... What are we doing by changing that code? It seems that this problem appears in interlaced sources (that's what Top or Bottom Field means, right?) Are we changing the code so it seems as a non interlaced source?

I wonder what the video will look like..

But, again, thanks for your tip :)

EDIT2: Hum.. crashed again. So i went to look were it crashed (VTS_03), opened it with VobEdit and found out that it has LOTS (and i mean LOTS) of GOP I, with that code :(

I think i will wait until jdobbs fixs this one.

I wise I knew why , we chanced the fist header of the fist Group Of Pictures to be tagged as
Frame Pictures where it was Interlaced. But this problem only happens when the source is
Interlaced and bottom field first, I had the ConvertToYUY2(Interlaced=true) (dvdRB V0.27) set and everything went ok came out pretty good to. It looks like the dvd2avi part of DVD-RB has a problem
with tag (IBFF)

ps I only edited the fist IGop of every VTS, so you only need to set the first IGop in your VTS_0*

good luck

Humm. So, that option is no longer available, right? At leats, i can't find it. One could edit the AVS scripts, but would take too long, they are to many.

Could that option be enabled again?

By the way, my crash was in VTS_03, and i changed the value in the 1st GOP, but it still crashed. That's why i went to look fore more GOP's and found many. Just by changing the first one wouldn't be enough, at least in my case.

EDIT: Forget about it, i was missing some GOP's in some VTS that seemed not have any. Sorry about that :o

Just to answer my own problem, and something for people who are having trouble with Low bitrates. It seems that the Menu alone for 'Black Hawk Down' was nearly a gig! I ran the disc through DVDShrink and compressed the Menu right down, then when I ran the prepare stage I got an average Bitrate of 2.5, which makes much more of a difference than 1.8kbs believe me.

So I think re-encoding the menu/extras would be a good thing to include on a forthcoming release, not that the program isn't perfect enough as it is!

For those of you with CCE, why don't you use NuMenu4U. It uses CCE, so the menus will look great. It's also free :D

[Joergen]

There sure are alot of tools out there! Never heard of numenu4u but I'll give it a try.

The only prob with using several tools is that you dont know if they all work or not.. so you end up with several multipliers for creating a coaster.

EDIT; BatchCCEWS doesnt support neither of the CCE versions I have installed so nice tool but no go :(

No.

I just decrypted with DVD Decrypter in file mode (all files).

It is the first time I have had this for a while and the other DVD's I have done went through DVD-RB just fine.

Good idea, I never thought of that.

I put the files through Nero and tried to record a NRG image. I got the same compliance error.

So that means the original is like that?

[VampHuntD]

Nero sucks at burning dvd, I used to have coasters with it all the time on things that workinf in other burners. Use something else.

I made a super mini dvd of 1 MB which will cause the runtime 9 error.

Almost spend a hour to figure out why I got a Runtime 11 “division by zero”
error every time I tried to run it with Rebuilder, finally figured it out.
55 MB, if the size of the dvd was smaller then 55 MB I would get the Runtime 11 error
if bigger then it would give the runtime 9 error.

The trick with this Super Mini DVD is to just add any (real) VOB file to this 1MB dir to make the total size larger then 55 MB. And then you will get the runtime 9 error. I would like to send this SMDVD to you, please just send a PM were to send it to.

Feels like brain surgery on the enigma machine :p

I never had any problems with Nero for the many years I have used it. I have had not one coaster (CD or DVD).

Anyway, I also use copytodvd and DVD Decrypter.

[Joergen]

Ok I tried numenu4u with robshot 3pass on an indyjones 500MB menu (it didnt see the italian menus out of the english so language selecting was useless) and the process was extremely slow and created a pixelated ugly menu as a result. But as I said before, menus often cant be compressed too much, and partial stripping is a better option.

By using menuedit or dvd2avi to pick the italian cells to remove I can get 200MB menu with no compression in 5 minutes.

jdobbs: In DVD-RB's case it would be preferrable (in the future) that it NEVER would compress menus unless specifically requested.. or could somehow analyse the menu items to see if they can take a decent amount of compressing. It would be quite a disappointment if 15 hours later you get a great looking movie but a terrible menu :)

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


I got this error during the rebuilding phase of a CCE project.:(


Also I've had this problem with 2 movies already. I choose the audio to keep in DVD-RB, and use Rejig. When it is finished I test the movie out in Power DVD, and it doesnt have audio. It says audio not available.

I couldn't agree more. I hate putting in a DVD only to be confronted with a block pixelated selection list... Sometimes trailers or other extras are put in with the menu's. It's nice to be able to reduce these assuming you still want them. Also some menus have videos which make them very large. The Soprano's disks come to mind. With these packed episode disks you might have to encode at 2200 to retain the full menu's which can be 700megs. Crunching the menu's in half can get you up closer to the point where blocks disappear in your main title.

Agreed that for most disks this type of thing is not necessary.
