... here's where dvd-rb says "there's nothing to do" and aborts the operation. this is the first time that i'm using this software setup so i'm completely stumped and need some help.

In your working directory there will be a folder called D2VAVS. That's the folder DVD-RB puts everything it creates except the final DVD files. The M2V (MPEG-2 video) files for your backup should be there. If they are, try playing one. If they aren't there, try playing one of the AVS files to see if you get an error message.

no, there are no M2V files... but i have about 53 paired AVS and FLG files. if QuEnc wants to build these M2V files, i got about that many error messages from QuEnc telling me "bad parameter," probably one for each of these attempts to create an M2V file:

- Creating M2V for VTS_01 segment 0
.
.
.
- Creating M2V for VTS_05 segment 1

but to take your second suggestion, can you tell me how to play an AVS file?

Just about any media player application that can play an AVI will play an AVS file. Windows Media Player should work fine if you don't have anything else. I use Media Player Classic personally.

I had a feeling there wouldn't be any M2V files because the message you got essentially means there weren't any re-encoded video files to rebuild. I'm not knowledgeable about QuEnc, but it could very well be an AviSynth problem, in which case I should be able to help out.

i use media player classic, too. here's what it said:

Media Player Classic could not render some of the pins in the graph, you may not have the needed codecs or filters installed on the system.

The following pin(s) failed to find a connectable filter:

I'd recommend uninstalling and reinstalling AviSynth.

i did as you suggested, uninstalled and then reinstalled avisynth but the results were the same: "bad parameter" in QuEnc when trying to encode.

i have all the software installed in
.. c:\program files\DVD-Rip:
avcodec.dll
quenc.exe
quenc_settings.txt
rebuilder.exe
rebuilder.ini
rebuilder.txt
..in subfolder
.. c:\program files\DVD-Rip\AviSynth 2.5:
gpl.txt
uninstall.exe
.. in subfolder
.. c:\program files\DVD-Rip\AviSynth 2.5\plugins:
mpeg2dec3dg.dll
.. and two other subfolders:
.. c:\program files\DVD-Rip\AviSynth 2.5\docs
.. and
.. c:\program files\DVD-Rip\AviSynth 2.5\examples

does this structure seem correct?

in rebuilder/options/setup, i set the path to QuEnc and the path to mpeg2dec3dg.dll. "Add to AVS file" box is checked.

are there any options that i may have missed?

i manually ran QuEnc and selected one of the AVS files in the working folder and it was actually encoded so that i could view it using media player classic.

You need to upgrade your version of QuEnc to v0.54. You can get it under the downloads section of www.doom9.org or right here at afterdawn:

http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/quenc.cfm

Here is a quote from the DVD-RB readme:

- Updated code for compatibility with QuEnc 0.52 and above. The KVCD command line logic has been replaced by the QuEnc Lower Bitrate (QLB) Matrix option. Older versions of QuEnc will no longer be supported and will get an error if use is attempted. QuEnc 0.52+ is free and is easily found on the net.

Thankyou. Upgrading QuEnc to version v0.54 corrected the problem. Sorry for not noticing that caution in the dvd-rb readme.
