CCE 2.70.02 hangs on VTS_01 segment 9

[glassvial]

I forgot to mention this/these is/are PAL DVD's, I don't know if that makes any difference or not.

This wouldn't be happening on an ILVU segment that is the last segment of a VTS would it? I've just fixed a bug that could result in a bad ILVU .D2V file under that circumstance.

[glassvial]

I don't believe either disc has any ILVU segments, if it does RB didn't say anything about it, unless there's another method of (manually?) checking?

Also I ran disc 2 through DVD Stripper to see if it would clean anything up, this time segment 6 actually started encoding! But then it hung on pass 2/6 :(

Sometimes, problems with disks like the example above are sticky, the disk just wont take it. To solve them, you could save the movie as ISO with DVD Shrink (uncompressed) + AnyDVD, mount it into Virtual CloneDrive 5.1.1.1 and then process it with DVD-RB Pro.

Try it and let us know.

[glassvial]

I've (basically) already done that. Made an ISO with DVD Shrink, mounted with Daemon tools, and re-ripped with DVD Decrypter, then tried with DVD-RB again. And this latest attempt with DVD stripper was: make ISO w/Shrink, mount with Daemon tools, open DVD stripper, which calls DVD Decrypter to rip, stripped out 2 useless things with DVD Stripper, then had DVD-RB call the output of that.

why are you stripping and preprocessing

rip from disk with dvd decrypter (dont use shrink)
prepare in rb,
blank in rb
then encode and rebuild

see if the problem remains

[glassvial]

Because this isn't an option, as I already mentioned earlier in the thread. All I have access to are the files not the original discs anymore.

[glassvial]

Ok even though it took FOREVER it finally slogged through the disc 2 encode and somehow got past that stuck segment 6. Now back to working on disc 1, hoping that running it through DVD stripper like I did with disc 2 would solve it, well, I was wrong. It still gets stuck on segment 9, so back to the drawing board.

[jptheripper]

please stop pre processing, you dont need too!!!!!!!

blank things IN rebuilder, not before

if you dont have access to the original disk go buy them, as you need to own a legitimate copy.

otherwise, its out of our hands

[glassvial]

How do you blank things IN rebuilder?

And, you assume an awful lot.

[Tore]

If you have the pro version there is an segement viewer where you can blank "stuff".

[Trahald]

And, you assume an awful lot.
Perhaps. but he would be correct in saying you should have the original legitimate source to work with.

trying to put bandaids on it and force feeding it into dvdrb is just frustrating things. again, please rerip from your original dvd9 disk and test that.

[glassvial]

Well after a whopping 1,272 minutes (!!) Disc 1 finally finished! Did the same thing as Disc 2, ran it through DVD Stripper, which I guess cleaned up the rip enough to get it going. At first I thought it was just going to hang again on segment 9, but I let it sit there (probably for at least a good hour, honestly) and it finally (slowly, just like seg 6 for disc 2) encoded.

Thanks for the attempts at helping (and no thanks for the accusations) I guess I should check my decrypter settings (it's unfortunate there won't ever be a newer release of that fine program...) and if this happens again I'll know what to do. Too bad DVD Stripper isn't more stable (and also no longer developed).

[jptheripper]

no accusations, just observations

and i guess i still dont understand why you are planning on using dvd stripper for the future, when it isnt needed.

good luck on your future rips, and remember.. dont preprocess!!

It fixed my problem, that's all that matters to me :D

[auenf]

from something else that Auenf suggested on a different issue... Sometimes the audio (fake audio) causes an issue .. this is just a suggestion but you can try unchecking the options->avs options->audiodub(blankclip()) which takes audio out of the picture (2.70 doesnt need this as earlier cces need) .. sometimes that helps against crashes.. may be worth a shot if you run out of ideas

lately ive found that:

KillAudio()


works better these days.

I don't think he ever answered on the question of free versus Pro version. If the former, that would account for why it would be necessary (short of making a donation for the Pro, or buying DVD ReMake Pro, etc).
