Final dvd size too small. A problem ???

[drako]

Hello,

I've searched and read about some topics about this kind of problem and did as some answers suggested.

What I'm trying to do is to backup a movie, which is around 8Gb, but I end up with a small sized movie, around 2GB.

I ripped the movie with dvddecrypter "all files mode".

Started DVD Rebuilder (0.80) without any change at all, except "STEAL SPACE FROM EXTRAS : 50%".

The first attempt made with one click option and ended with a 2GB movie.

The second attempt, first I "PREPARED" the movie, then "ENCODE" and then "REBUILD". Ended up with a 2.1GB movie.

What am I doing wrong ?
Is this a normal behaviour ?
Hope someone can help.

Thx...

If you've read a bit, then you should know the usual questions that are asked - what movie; which decoder & version; show your rebuilder.ini and rebuilder.log (select File / "Status logging on" to enable the log file). Also, hang on to the rebuilder.inf in your D2VAVS directory in case jdobbs asks about it.

OK...

I'm trying to backup the movie SPARTAN.

Currently using :

1. AVISynth 2.55
2. CCE Basic 2.65.01.04 Official
3. DVD Rebuilder 0.80 (Installer version)

The log is as follows :
