Maybe there's something wrong with the parameters passed to CCE SP? You are configured incorrectly. Follow the instructions here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=74308) to install properly.

thx for the advice :)
i found out the m2v files gernerated were very small and gave out an error message when i played them. looks like my system didnt find the MPEG2Dec3dg.dll file, so i checked the "Add to AVS" option. encoding seems to work now.

Okay, my bad. I didn't read his problem exactly.

I think I am configured correctly. Previous versions of DVD-RB have all worked fine for me. I dropped in the new REBUILDER.EXE and now I get this error:

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

I double checked my setup against the post you mentioned, and I don't see what I have incorrect.

I have CCE SP 2.67.0.23 and EclCCE 1.8b. The "Path to CCE SP (New)" is pointing to the ECL EXE. The "Path MPEG2DEC3DG" is pointing to the DLL file correctly and the "Add to AVS file" is checked. (Though it was not checked originally, so I checked it and tried again - same error.) I have the correct DLL file and verified it against the link posted on the instructions. Mode is One-Click Mode. Dynamically Assign Cell Bit Rates is checked.

The process goes through the encode phase completely (took many hours) and ends in the rebuilding phase, I believe. (Its at 96.5% in my case with the LUPIN DVD.) It ends with VTS12, VOB ID 1, Cell 6, referencing this (pulled from REBUILDER.INF file):

[V12000500001006]
SCR=40276236.000
PTS=40297257.000
Frame_Rate_Code=1
Pulldown=0
Structure=3
Frames=1916
Last_Sector=156559
Reduction=73.2
Aspect_Ratio=2
HalfD1=0
EndPTM=47099052.000

If there is anything else I can tell you. please let me know.

I was speaking specifically to the error in which it to "about a minute" to encode... that is very definitely a configuration error.

Since you mentioned you had ECLCCE 1.81b, I am assuming you are using the demo. In that case, you must have your config pointing towards the ECLCCE executable and not the CCE executable.

Actually, I mistyped that. I have it pointing to the ECLCCE EXE. It gets through the encode process just fine.

I get the exact same error at the end of rebuilding on Region 1 disc of "The Passion of Anna"

My configuration works fine on other discs, so this is a new error to me.

configuration is:

CCE 2.50
DVD-RB 0.46
Half D1 for extras was NOT enabled
Dynamically assign cell bitrates IS enabled
One Click mode (although it does it in REBUILD of 3-click too)

I kept all 3 audio tracks, if that makes any kind of difference.

-----------

oops, another day, same error message, i used dvd-r .44, but got the same buffer overflow error, ahwell, the passion of anna maybe aint so hot ;)

jdobbs: now that most other problems are taken care of, including error 0009 and subtitle glitches, do you think you have the energy (and desire) to concentrate on 0004 for one release? I, for one, have been waiting to reap the benefits of DVD-RB and have gigabytes worth of DVD9 movies patiently waiting to be shrunk but 0004 has prevented me from doing that all this time.

jdobbs

8th May 2004, 20:55

The 0004 error is an indicator of a problem in the source and should be a rare exception at this point in the programs state. If you are consistently getting 0004 errors -- it is very likely there is something else wrong in the way you are doing your backups. I personally have done many, many, many discs -- without this error With that said, I will look again and see if I am missing something.

Have you had any successful backups?

jdobbs: I have only tried DVD-RB with 2 movies so far and got #0004 in both of them, although at different stages of rebuilding. They were both some Russian DVDs, and it is possible that they were modified by pirates or just badly mastered.

I do have a lot of normal NTSC DVD-9's though and I will try a couple of them and report the results. Just to make sure, instead of the CCE SP trial exe you have to point to EclCCE.exe (if you use one), correct? Because that's what I've been doing.

Thanks for making me double-check everything. My version of Avisynth was 2.0.8. That was causing major problems. The Avisynth site has the 2.08 version listed at the top of the page so I assumed it was the latest version. Upgrading to 2.5.4 fixed the #0004 error. Thanks!

I have used Rebulider V 0.46 (with CCE SP 2.5) successfully to back up several discs.

However, the latest backup of Master & Commander R2 prepared and encoded successfully but at the rebuild stage there was a buffer Overflow error #0004 very near the start.

I do not believe I have changed anything (on system or method)since perfoming successful back-ups.

Any thoughts?

More on this Error #0004 business.

I've read through all the posting, and I've not found any clue about this error.

I'm using DVD Rebuilder v.0.40 (beta), Cinema Craft Encoder Basic (v.2.69.01.04)

Any time I try to backup a movie everything goes right up to the point the program starts rebuilding. Then at different stages of the rebuilding (different for each movie) pops up the buffer overflow #0004 error.

It is easy to blame configuration, but this is not going to resolve anything. When so many people complain, surely there is an error in the program.

Pity, as it looks very promising.

It seems like jdobss doesn't like hearing about #0004 error.

So, no more asking for advice.

I'll keep reading the forum just in case sombebody find an answer to this error

I have to defend jdobbs here cause if you have the RARE (RARE RARE!) #0004 error with almost every movie, your setup (or method) is MOST PROBABLY at fault.

I havent seen the #0004 error since it was fixed (and only saw it with one movie), and counting 20+ succesful movies so far.

It's easy to blame setup, but it's even easier to be lazy, pompous and arrogant and blame the software.

Hello, i'm new here...;)

I have also this #0004 error on every backup, and if i consider one precise DVD, it is always at the same stage.
I tried to reinstall everything many times but there is something wrong i don't understand.

My configuration :
Athlon XP 2500+
WinXP
DVD-RB 0.49
CCE Basic 2.69
Half D1 for extras : NOT enabled
Dynamically assign cell bitrates : enabled
One Click mode : enabled

If it's a problem of setup, maybe it is due to the computer itself ? or is it possible that we don't have all the files needed ?

May the force be with us :)

Make sure your AviSynth is installed correctly and that you have MPEG2Dec3dg.dll in AviSynth\plugins. That basically solved the #0004 error for me.

May the force be with us :) Some things to look for:

1. Are you using the correct version of MPEG2DEC3.DLL? Some other software packages can "force" AVISYNTH through a registry setting to look in the wrong place. Use the path to it in SETUP to be sure.

2. Are you using the latest DVD Decrypter version? If not it is possible (a couple versions back) that a zero length file in the original could leave one of the VOBs encrypted (when used in ISO mode). This will DEFINITELY result in 0004 errors.

3. Are you preprocessing with some other package to get rid of extras or other things? Some packages result in a clean DVD -- some will screw up the output and cause 0004 errors.

4. Are you trying to read directly from the DVD rather than using DVD Decrypter. This will definitely result in a 0004 error.

5. Try three click mode and go in and review the movie using the .AVS file after PREPARE. It will show you whether your AVISYNTH is working correctly. Also look at the .M2V files after ENCODE. If they won't play... something is misconfigured.

Once you get past the first successful encode (meaning you are configured correctly) you will very likely never see 0004 again.

@CeD & gort9k.

Maybe it's a good idea you to take a little time to read carefully and check the faq and the sticky threads our dear Moderator Wmansir has written, where you may find specific support to many basic set up and configuration issues.

Please consider it is very easy to see and verify if at least the preparation step completed in the proper way: just play some (or all...) of the avs files produced by DVD-RB in the D2VAVS folder, using windows media player (or the player you like more...).

Please consider also it is equally easy to see and verify if the encoding step completed in the proper way: again just play some (or all...) of the m2v files produced by DVD-RB in the D2VAVS folder, using the same player.

You may understand that people becomes a little bit upset of repeating almost every day the same things...

I wolud not mean that some basic support is not due...
but at least:

no offense, gort9k, but what's your definition of "any time [you] try to backup a movie?" on how many dvd's did you try DVD-RB? do you have pal or ntsc system? region code? i have been backing up around 3 dozen ntsc movies since DVD-RB v0.4x and have experienced only very few problems.

also, jdobbs' response time regarding errors and comments is phenomenal! you won't get such service even from commercial companies -- that's why i donated a couple of times already. therefore, don't get defensive so quickly just because YOUR system is not working and you obviously won't accept that it might be related to YOUR configuration. it's easy to blame other ppl :sly:. i had problems at the beginning with my configuration because i didn't RTFM :D. i admit (and that has already been suggested) that DVD-RB's installation would be easier, if all the required programs would come bundled as one unit. but then again there might be copyright issues. :(

and BTW, DVD-RB does not only "look" promising -- this freebie already does in its beta stage (!) what other commercial programs are TRYING to do!!!

my 2 cents.

The other group, like myself. Are users, we use the programs, we like them, or not. And when we encounter a trouble we bring it to the forums looking for an explanation. We ask because we don't have the knowledge. And we don't like being patroniced.

I'd like to use DVD rebuilder to make my backups. As I'm looking for quality. But I keep finding this error. You say it is misconfiguration, well, it could be.

I do this pretty much for free. Yes I accept donations -- but with a very, very, very few exceptions (like DocDragon) no one contributes. No big deal. That's just people. (e.g. the last time I got a donation was 5 days ago and it was only one)

I'm not begging, I'm making a point. When I do this for nothing I am not inclined, nor obligated to listen to smart-ass remarks from people who think I exist on this planet for no other reason than to give them free online support when they don't even take the time to simply read the FAQ or ask the question in a semi-courteous manner.

When I suggested you were not configured properly -- I meant it. If you don't want to accept that possibility, I suggest you simply use another program. There are lots of them.

To everyone else: Please forgive my rant. I enjoy helping people, I enjoy writing code, and I really want to make this a good free program. But that doesn't mean I will accept rude comments.

ps: jdobbs, what do you think about implementing a filter template for different picture settings as suggested here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=76453)? i think this might be quite "easy" to program for a super-coder like you, huh? ;). i just sent you another 10 bucks as a motivation. that should also stop your 5-day donation dry-spell :D.

I think we are in danger of letting some not very well thought out comments take over the thread.

I have used Re-Builder successfully on several occasions and only experienced the #0004 error with one disc ( Master & Commander R2. I experienced the error twice with versions 0.46 and 0.48 starting the whole process again each time.

Interestingly, I used Re-builder 0.48 on the main movie only (after re-authoring with DVD Shrink) and everything worked fine.

This would lead me to conclude that my setup is OK and that it is something unique in the structure of the DVD or the ISO image was somehow corrupted during the ripping process.

PS.

I think given that the software does something for free that nothing else can do and it is clearly distributed as beta none of us has any grounds for "complaining" about bugs. I just hope I won't see this error again.

Sorry for asking (I know it will eventually take some time...), but just as a weak conjecture, and for eventually excluding that the problem is related to the rip done in iso mode, could you try to repeat the whole process decripting in file mode ?

I got the same error, but i tried fixing it by myself. I didnt come to the forums and bitch about it like you did. It happened to be a configuration error. If you follow jbobbs installation guide you'll get no problem. It helped me. Just delete the .ini config file and start over again. Get CCESP and EclCCE. Rip an iSO of the DVD using DVD Decrypter, and mount it using Daemon Tools. If you do things right, there is no way things will go wrong.

When, I have time I will do as you suggest. For future reference, is there any difference from a Rebuilder perspective as to whether the DVD is Ripped in File or ISO mode?

i dont think so. as long as you have all the files that are on the dvd on your pc it will be ok. i just prefer to make an iso. :)

to sadik:
"..., and mount it using Daemon Tools." ?
Why use daemon tools? I got it working just by ripping the DVD content with decrypter to HD in filemode and then open the ripped directory in rebuilder.

Is there something that might go better when the rebuilder 'thinks' that it is reading the real DVD disc (mounted with daemontools) compared to situation when the rebuilder is reading from the HD?

No. But there are two more variables thrown into the equation. The DVD drive emulation software and the way in which it it created with DVD Decrypter. I can tell you, though, that I do all my discs now using ISO mode and Daemon Tools (after suggestions by DDogg, I decided to give it a whirl, and I like it) -- so I don't think there is a systemic problem related to mounting drives in ISO mode.

btw.. when that error happened to me i had like two eclcce's. one pointed in cce basic and the other in cce 2.66+. then i deleted the ini file and just used eclcce with ccesp 2.66+ and nothing more.
add the avisynth plugins to your avisynth plugins directory and make sure that everything is setup properly.
rip in iso mode with dvd decrypter and mount it using daemon tools.
i hope it works :)

@ gort9k

A friend of mine just tried out his ultra fast PC with cce basic 2.69.
At the rebuild stage he got the buffer overflow #0004 error.
Then he tried again with cce 2.67 and everything went fine.
I think you should give it a try with cce 2.67 ( trial ) and eclcce.
The second option is Quenc.
Then you know for sure that your configuration is O.K.
And then you also know that you were dealing with a real bug or not.

Good luck
