View Full Version : Experimenting with #0003 buffer overflow error

I never had a #0003 buffer overflow error until I tried to backup my DTS DVD of the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over keeping BOTH the 2 channel audio track, and the DTS audio track. Since I had never received the error before, I did some searching on this forum for things to try, and I tried tweaking a few things. Needless to say, I spent most of my free time bewteen family visits and meals of Thanksgiving, sneaking upstairs to try something else to get rid of the error.

Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck. So far, I've tried

1. DVD-RB 0.67 with AND without special error processing checked.
2. Reripping DVD with DVDdecrypter and turning on "DETECT MASTERING ERRORS" as someone had mentioned in another thread
3. I tried ripping the DVD with DVDshrink with NO COMPRESSION as my setting (thus just a rip), and then ran that through DVD-RB
4. DVD-RB 0.64a just to see if error was still present there.

I tried tweaking the dvd ripping because some had thought that perhaps it was related to the rip, but that didn't make any difference. Someone had mentioned that new problems had arisen with the new versions of DVD-RB, so I tried 0.64a (I could try an even older version if anyone thought that would be worth a shot).

Strange, but while the DVD is only a little over 7gigs total, DVD-RB reports that space left for video is only about 42%. That might be normal, but doesn't appear to be to me. Of course, I'm sure the DTS audio track is huge, but DVDShrink reports its size at "only" 1,198MB, but now I see that the LPCM audio track is also 1,220MB. That probably doesn't leave much more than 50% for video, so it's probably right.

I'm going to redo it now that I see that, and remove the LPCM track, and report back. I prefer to make backups that are as close to the original as possible (that's why I'm using DVD-RB), but this may dictate removing the LPCM track. I'll report findings in this thread later today.

btw, it's the NTSC version, but I don't see a region code, so it may be region 0.

Ok, re encoded the Eagles DTS DVD yet again, and tried removing the LPCM audio track, leaving the DTS track only. It allowed me 64% or so for video, which was an improvement, but unfortunately, it didn't stop the #0003 buffer overflow error. :mad:

Anyone got any other ideas to try?:confused:
