DVD Rebuilder creates 1200+ m2v Files

[SLA]

This is quite annoying. When i tried to backup "Universal Soldier" R2 DVD-RB created 1.235 .avs files and most of them have a length of only 21 Frames. Working is nearly impossible because every 3 seconds cce pops-up although i checked "run encoders minimized".

Wow thats a new record! Mine is only ~350 so far. (unless this is your first movie and you have a settings problem).

In any case, movies with more than ~100 segments probably are caused by some bug that splits the movie to too many parts. Hopefully jdobbs can check this out.

I'm also R2, and I think the "hundreds-of-segments" bug has only happened for some rare R2 discs :( Oh and the movie will probably stutter if you compile and burn it.

[SLA]

Thats bad, i've already done some encodes, so i dont think it is a settings problem. imho this problem was introduced a few versions ago, because at some old releases (0.22 or so) there were ~30 files)

[jdobbs]

What version of DVD-RB are you using? That problem should have been fixed in 0.49.

[Joergen]

It was? :o

I'll check with my problem movie now.

[Joergen]

It WAS fixed! The movie that gave me 350 segments before now gives only 33 segments!

I'll do the whole project and see if the results are also spotless.

Thanks for fixing it jdobbs. This was my ONLY problem disc so far out of more than 20 :cool:

@SLA

Is yours fixed?

No, the Problem isn't fixed for me (used 0.49). ~1200 Files are created for vts03. I took a look at it and found out, that the .avs for PGC_1 are created correctly (14 Files) but PGC_2 has lots of Files which are 20 or 21 Frames long, or even no Frames long:

#------------------
# AVS File Created by DVD Rebuilder
# VOBID:02, CELLID:01
#------------------
mpeg2source("J:\DVDS\US2\D2VAVS\V03.D2V")
trim(10220,10220)
ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
AudioDub(BlankClip())

ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true)
AudioDub(BlankClip()) Could you copy a representative section of the REBUILDER.INF file where these short length appear and post it? The only thing I can imagine is if they truly are different cells. But I may be able to glean something from the file.

AudioDub(BlankClip()) This example is probably a still. It isn't "no Frames long" -- the starting and ending frame number is the same so it is 1 frame long.

Yes, you are right. The 1-Frame .avs is the one between the Two PGCs

The complete length of this PGC is 15:27 minutes and i think there is no .avs created with more than 30 frames

Interesting... I'm going through the code in my head (since I don't have it available right now) and I can't imagine how this could happen. But it obviously does, so somewhere I have an error. Are you positive you are using .49 and you have done the disc over from scratch (not just tried to REBUILD)? This looks exactly like what I fixed in .49...

[SLA]

Yes i used the latest Version 0.49 (CRC-Checksum: 0xd11ebd62) and i did it from the scratch using Prepare button (about 5 times until now to ensure that i don't post any crap). Maybe there's something about the source files. Tell me if i should send you some files.

SLA -- Please check your PM.

@jdobbs

did you receive my pm? because you didn't answer to my question.
