DVDRb Bug - Too many Audio Streams & Subtitles

[Murdock0815]

I just found what seems to be a bug in DVDRb (+CCE).

Im backing up a RC3 DVD at the moment and DVDRb tells me its got 8 audio tracks and 32 subtitles- even though its only got 5 audio streams and 2 subtitles.
I imagined this was due to poor authoring and went along with the encoding. In the end, I got the Buffer Overflow error and wasnt able to fix it after 3 different tries.

The .ifo looks good to me, it states 2 subtitles and 5 audio streams.

I loaded these vobs into a different dvdr encoding tool which works with CCE and it checked in just fine and the encoding passed without problems.

Please let me know if I can supply any information on how to identify this problem- if needed.

Which different dvdr encoding tool that works with CCE have you tried?

It can be related to some authoring errors.
Try open the .IFO w/IfoEdit , go to pgciti and take a look at how many audio streams it reports(even the ones reporting 0 status).
You can also try to open the DVD w/VobBlanker , select the VTS and the Title of VTS , press Strip and you'll get a window displaying all audio streams with corresponding size , maybe someones are 0 sized or maybe there are more than 1 PGC in the selected VTS (it often happens in Warner Bros DVDs where they merge the WB clip into the main VTS w/his own audio stream mapped, for example at 0x82) and if so maybe the Main Movie is on PGC_1 w/audio streams 0x80 & 0x81 with relevant size and 0x82 with size=0 and PGC_2 w/audio streams 0x80 & 0x81 with size=0 and 0x82 with relevant size. In the last case I suggest to keep stream 0 or 1 for the main movie and always keep stream 2(0x82) for have the WB clip w/audio.
I also suggest to take in account that DVD-RB isn't always right w/audio stream positioning as I reported in another thread named "Little bug to be solved" that not many people on this forum taked care of. It can happen that the authoring program mapped the stream as 0 for 0x80 , 1 for 0x82 and 2 for 0x81 (it's just an example) and we can think about 0x80 is English , 0x81 is the Director Commentaries and 0x82 is French.
In this case DVD-RB confuse them up reporting Audio1=English referring to 0x80 , Audio2=French wrongly referring to 0x81 and Audio3=Director Commentaries wrongly referring to 0x82.This happened to me with Star Wars the Trilogy (Episode IV,V and VI).
I hope to be helpful to you and to some others.
Bye!

Indeed, the additional audio and subtitle entries were added in the PGCITI section, as stated above.

After processing the DVD without those tracks selected and using the "Special Error Processing" switch, it worked.

If this problem is known, no need to go into it any further- I just wanted to make sure it might be looked into.
