DVD ReBuilder: Installation, Setup, and Usage

[jdobbs]

My guess is that you did your installation from the "Updates Only" zip file. That file is not meant for installing DVD Rebuilder for the first time. It normally only includes the files that have changed since the last update. Please download the Full Installer version and use that for installation.

@Everyone

Please remember that the "Updates Only" zip file is targeted for those folks who have limited bandwidth on their internet connection. It gives you a way to update to the next version with only a small file down load (about 1.5MB for v1.06). If bandwidth isn't an issue -- please download and use the Full Installer package (about 5.75MB for v1.06) for installations and updates. You will save yourself a lot of possible headaches by doing so.

@Rockas
The file mswinsck.ocx was installed into the directory. The CRC32 of the file that I have is d75759be. I did what you asked anyway but that didn't work. I then did a full install of the update file, still no other result.

@jdobbs
I always download the full installer, but thanks for the input.

Let me know if you need any other info, etc on my system to make things easier to diagnose for you.

Hmmm... you must have an outdated DLL somewhere. Try this (assuming you installed in "C:\Program Files\DVD-RB Pro"):

1. Push START/RUN, and type in "CMD" and push ENTER.
2. A command window will pop up.
3. Type the following (include the quotes):

regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\DVD-RB Pro\mswinsck.ocx"

4. Push ENTER

Then try running DVD-RB again.

[Edit] Fixed the mistyped file name.

I have since downloaded and installed DVD-RB_v1.061Pro and the same error has come up, so I have done what you suggested (I didn't see your reply until after I installed the new version) and I get the attached error, when I looked, the file you specefied is not in the directory.. So I tried the file "MSWINSCK.OCX" instead, which appeared to work, but more importantly, DVD-RB Pro is now up and running once again..

:thanks:

Hi everybody,

maybe this is a stupid question...but I have problems getting my keyfile for dvd-rb (of course I'm a registered user :) ).
The site key.dvd-rb.com which rebuilder contacts when attempting a web download doesn't answer. Jdobbs, is it possible that some server has crashed?

Thank you for your help and of course for this wonderful tool,

Rocko

[jdobbs]

The DNS server was down for about 2 hours in the early a.m. on May 20th... other than that it has been up-and-running with no problems.

[rocko1911]

Yes, it's running perfectly now. I could register my version.

Thank you,
Rocko

I've created DVD-ReBuilder Easy Installer (http://dvd.yardcure.com).
Now even momma can install and copy DVD movies :)

Hi BluTach,

I see you are all over the places.

Q1: Have you folks tested Zilexa "EasyInstaller" yet? And is it Clean?

Q2: Is there a "Dummy Proof" Set up & installation Guide for DVDRB and the Tools used with it????
I have installed the DVDRB 0.98 and I am having difficulty following the guide from AD Forum or this one to set up my CCE Free version ...

Thanks,
G!

[blutach]

No, I haven't. Rockas's installer, the one that comes with DVD Rebuilder (http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/) is good enough for everyone and is the Official Installer. Why use anything else?

There is no guide needed and I dunno what is published at AD as I don't visit there. You just push next and if you use CCE or Procoder, follow the prompts to set that up.

There is a guide written by cynthia at digital digest, but again, I do not feel it necessary.

Regards

Hi Blutach,

Thanks for getting back so soon ...

You are right ... after I re-read the instructions in this sticky coulpe of times, I got thru ... my confusion was with CCE and Ecl files ...

Thanks again,
G!

Update 2: I guess I'm a double idiot because I thought DVD Rebuilder Pro would produce an iso file and it just produces the folders. I can't find a parameter where I can even tell it to produce an iso file, just whether it burns directly to disc without an iso file, and there's a burn iso to disc parameter. I used the Rockas installer to install the thing. Also, it doesn't seem to name the output folder correctly. Instead of using the name from the original folder that contains the VIDEO_TS folder it just names it something like DVD_FILES. With a generic name like that I can't just set an output folder because not only doesn't it produce an iso file, but it would just overwrite a previous rip. Why isn't there a user manual, or at least some decent help files. Very confusing.

Update 3: I should just delete this. I hadn't installed the package correctly after migration to a new computer, which is why it wasn't working the way I expected. I also gather that CCE isn't what it's cracked up to be, and fortunately it was impossible to navigate their site in order to buy something anyway. I'm using QuEnc because it was described as the best "free" decoder, even though it's rating was just "very good." Live and learn.

Original Post: I can't get this to work. I always get a message that "No CCE path has been set" so I must have indicated somewhere that I wanted to use the CCE encoder, but I'm not going to buy it and can't even make sense of their product page. I've set the path for the HC encoder, so why isn't that being used??

Update: OK, I'm an idiot. Too used to using BD Rebuilder and didn't notice that there was an "HC Mode." Sorry.
