Soph,
Seems you like playing to the audience. My question was who questioned your word? Didn't see it in this thread. Also, it was your suggestion to move this discussion on hardware to the hardware forum. Which I did and posted the benchmark results you wanted me to produce. They're there for you or anyone else to view. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2/235934#1314289 I just don't see your big crusade for AMD. The edge isn't that great and for many of us the choices boil down to preference and cost. Seems AMD has still lost out in the arena of popular choice there.
A long time ago we all agreed the newer high capacity processors will encode faster. You're beating a "dead horse". On the newer high end PCs the Opteron 64s have a slight advantage. Take out your dissertations on heat and just notice the benchmark numbers using SiSoftware Sandra and there's not a whole lot of difference between the "work" done by the competitors. They both work well and neither has a tendency to melt down when used in their stock configuration.
Also, when I said sales, you missed the context. I wouldn't suspect your being an undercover salesman for AMD. However, you have a tendency to sell the world on the fact that your current choice is superior and others should follow suit. I'm not sold.
BTW, something had happened to your capture posting. Now both are showing.

My post is perfectly appropriate for this thread because it's about RB and encode times.
I'm fickle that way, when Intel is better I buy Intel and when AMD is better then I buy that.
BTW you had better go and check out the benchmarks again.

Something in your system is not working to its best or there's a problem with your ripped file. It could be a badly fragmented hard disk or your paging file or something is not keeping up. Defrag your hard disk, close any unneeded apps that are running in the background and then try again.

Hadn't seen that one in a while. What are the specs on that system, OS, CPU, RAM, and HDD and freespace? Helps to know what you're dealing with. Also, what version of RB and what other programs are in your setup and what are their version numbers?

Buffer overruns are failures in memory allocation, whether it be caused by a failure of the DVD Rom, paging file, or even more likely a hard disk that is slowed down by fragmentation.

... and older hardware or systems with insufficient resources and older operating systems can add to the problem.

How true. A buffer is a read ahead feature that your memory and hard disk provides so that in the event of physical drive inadequacies, they delay time so that it can be compensated for within memory while your moving drives catch up.

Hello fellas,
Sorry to interupt the discussion but after a long time of succesful encoding I finally hit a snag while trying to go to the next level :)
I'm in the process of encoding all three Blade movies. I only want to keep the menu with screen selection and DVDRemake takes care of that. But now I also want to steal bits from the end credits.
DVDremake tells me that a 300+MB chapter at the end is all of the credits. Very handy to put them in a seperate chapter, now I need a way to encode only THAT chapter with a tiny bitrate while the rest of the movie gets the normal treatment.
So the question is: help.

Are we looking for perfection? The Blade DVDs weren't that big, epecially just the movies and menus. I did them and could see no appreciable loss of quality on a 60 inch screen. I doubt gaining enough quality to make the endeavor of stealing from the credits worthwhile. Your choice, just do a regular encode of the movie and menus without stealing and see if you actually gain anything. Sort of time consuming, but one should be sufficient and it may save you some time in the future. Improvement compared to work involved is sometimes not worth the effort, especially when the improvement is so negligible as not to be visible.

Yes we are :) For me encoding movies is not just a process to get a result, it's also a hobby, knowing I did the best job possible regardless of anything and nobody could do it better.
It's about understanding technology and processes and such.
That said, I will take a look at that matrix thingy.. thanks.

I also consider it a hobby and like doing the best I can. That's what brought me to RB. However, that's why I suggested doing it both ways for a comparison; especially with your desire to do the best possible. I assumed you might want to do it the most efficient way as well, since there is no improvement for such a small space savings. What do you expect to save from stealing space from the titles, possiby a few KBs?

Exactly, to have those three extra bits of movie quality.
Time is of no consequence, I have oodles and 4 computers RBfarming all night long.

Reminds me of a song, "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights..." ;) Surprised you didn't mention having CCE SP and running it at 15 or more passes. There's the true aficionado. LOL

I was thinking 20 passes. Maybe on my new $8000 alienware. It'll take an hour or two. :)

Isn't 10 passes (except for those that brobear makes at VG) the limit for CCE SP?

Passes at VG? I'd probably need a few extras to get into the game nowadays. LOL Haven't seen much of her lately.
I figure with my new $10,000 Alienware, liquid cooled, hyper overclocked, fully modified, super duper Pentium gamer, I might get a 30 pass encode down to about 30 minutes. Of course I realize I'd have to have more than one running an RBFarm. ;) Now how many factory DVDs can I buy for $100,000? ;) The fun is in the hobby, right? ;)

I had errors again. I think it may have something to do with batch processing. It seems to work 1 project at a time. The disc plays until near the end then it jams up the player. I have done a few since I posted last. One at a time no problem I did a batch last night and both projects failed. I'm going to do them again ,one at a time.

Good idea Datman. Let us know how it comes out doing the individual encodes.
As long as it is set up properly, batch mode just gives the same commands as you do manually, at least that's my understanding of it. It does it from the saved project files you create. Once a batch command is entered, RB functions just as though you had punched the buttons yourself. Since encoding is a CPU intensive task and can tie up memory allocation as well, it can put more strain on your system when doing batch encodes. I just wonder if it's a system problem instead of RB related. Yours is the only complaint I've noticed along these lines for batch processing so far. If it was RB related, it looks like someone else would have reported the same problem by now.
So we can better understand your situation, what are the specs on your PC; manufacturer and model, CPU and speed, RAM, HDD size and free space, burner (and ROM), and the OS?

You're right once you set up batch processing it does the same command over and over until you're DVD files are finished.

Thanks for confirming that on batch mode.
Datman
I've noticed RB will work on systems with limited resources as long as there is enough HDD space. However, I've also noticed that RB tends to really shine on the larger systems with plenty of extra space and resources (not necessarily the "speedwagon" computers, but ones with ample CPUs, plenty of RAM and big hard drives). Just so we know, what are you using?
