Hi folks
a question if I may...
I'm trying to backup an MMA DVD9 to DVD5. All my attempts so far have resulted in a pretty blocky, blurry image.
The source VTS is 7,555 Mb and my "Space for Video" is 3,768 Mb - so reduction level is 51.3%.
Can anyone who has had success in backup of sports DVDs give me a suggestion of which settings to use for VBR Bias and/or Qual Prec???
Thanks if you can!!
Lastly, is it possible to use DVD RB to convert an NTSC dvd (menus and all) to PAL DVD??

How long (in terms of hours) is the source? Also, what bitrate is DVD-RB having to apply? There are some rare original sources that have already stretched the available space to its limit...
DVD-RB does not convert NTSC to PAL.

I'm a littel confused.
What do you mean by space for Video is 3,768 mb. Is this the your target size or is this the space left on your hard drive for video?

@ Sophocles : Please could you edit your signature
Quote:
Signatures
These rules exist to make viewing the forum as pleasant as possible to all users. Even though you might think signatures with large pictures look cool, some might find them extremely annoying.
1. Text-only signatures should have at most 5 lines of text.
2. An image-only signature should be less than 50kb in size, and be at most 500 pixels wide and 200 pixels tall.
3. If you use an animated picture in the signature, it should not be too distractive. Eg. blinking images or images with quick movement are not allowed.
4. If you want to use both text and image in your signature the image should not be more than 500 pixels wide and 100 pixels tall, and you can use up to three lines of text.
5. All the abovementioned rules for forum posts apply also to the signatures.
Violation of these rules does not lead to an immediate ban. However if requested user must edit his or her signature to fit these guidelines.

For those who have come to this thread for help and for those who came to help, I thank you. With no one to assist along the path to learning teachers would have no purpose. Schools don't make teachers, teachers make schools, for without teachers there can be no place of learning. I will now unsubscribe from this thread.

Sophocles, are you seriously unsubscribing for being asked to comply with the forum rules?
Come on man, continue with this. If addicts, mods, seniors and staff don't comply with the rules, then who is setting the example?

Could have picked someone better than Hitler to quote, after all, we kicked his ass in WW2. Schools are prisons, always were, always will be. Afterdawn isn't a school, in the broadest sense of the term, but a place to come and learn, help, etc at your own pace, we don't have a curriculum to stick to.

I'm probably going to get spanked but this is becoming rediculous. I saw nothing distracting about Sophs sig. Ok maybe it had more than 5 lines but they were short sentences and didn't go clear across the page. Soph is one of the most trusted, intelegent, and respected members of this forum. I personally feel he has earned the right to bend the rules a little. He imho should have been a mod a long time ago.
At this rate there won't be any knowledgable ppl left to help members with their questions or problems.

So be it. I know where Soph resides and he is always quick with an educated and trustworthy answer if I ever need help or just an opinion. I'm quickly losing interest here.

Yes especially after all this time and to just now through this out there??? Unless he (they) wish to close this thread?? In my opinion I can see no other reason for the attack on Soph now??
In my opinion the moderator posting at Soph after all this time knew that he would most likely kill this Thread.......
What a shame...... This was a great forum!!

Why on earth would I purposefully think of 'killing' a thread , that has no logic to it what-so-ever imho !!
And also where's this so called ''attack of Soph'' as you put it ... ? I dont see one - unless my vision has just failed. o_0
It would seem that it is I who's being attacked if anyone.

That's just plainly offensive & shows just who Sophocles really is obviously.

If we're talking about distracting sigs, then that of herbsman should be looked at seriously by the other mods and staff. Not only is there the distracting movement, I find the posting of illegal marijuana leaves questionable by a moderator, who should be setting a good example for the children attracted to AfterDawn. That seems to be mostly what is here nowadays.
The flashing gif in safc_66 sig is distracting with the flashing as well. Seems those complaining are as guilty as those they're pointing the finger at.
AD used to be a place where one could learn and where intellectual discussions could take place. There used to be a division between threads and sections where members played games and those where technical issues could be addressed. Now everything seems to be degraded. No one said it had to be a place with a fixed curriculum, but freedom of expression shouldn't be curtailed. Accusing someone of supporting the Hitler doctrine because he is quoted is ridiculous. Ever think the thought may be pointed at those thoughtlessly letting their surroundings be degraded and destroyed.
As for closing the thread, it may as well be done when you eliminate the major contributors to the thread. Herbsman could have PMed Sophocles about the oversized signature. There was no need to have done it on the public forum. It was obviously a show of power. I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread as well. It seems like every time I come back to the forum for a visit, more of the most knowledgable members of AD are being harrassed and leaving threads or AD itself. I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread as well.

i always thought the rules were a guideline, and yes there are those people who visibly try to push the boundaries to the limits.But it is up to the mods and the admin to decide the limits to which we have things.Maybe its time to have no sigs,The bitching to and fro might stop .
@ all you guys who are offended.
Get over it.Its not herbsman who makes policy , its the admin.Its herbsmans right as a mod to enforce the rules.If he doesnt then what kind of mod is he.If one person can by pass them what kind of example is being sent out to every one.I know............., its one rule for some people and another set for the rest.
At the end of the day, it's one of the rules which we abide by.Its up to you guys whether or not you contribute to this forum or go and do something else.But its a loss that will be seen by the ones who need the help most
@ bigorange:
its a nice flowery speech but playing the matyr isnt really going to do anything but harm the integrity of this thread.
Maybe it is time to close this one or maybe you guys need to go and cool of , come back when you have seen the light and help those that really need your help and who arent overly concerned with things like, the largeness of sigs.

As per my above post
The source VTS is 7,555 Mb and my "Space for Video" is 3,768 Mb - so reduction level is 51.3%
When I say space for video, I am just quoting what it tells me in DVD-RBs window when I click backup DVD- (one click mode)
Really the space for video is a whole DVD5.
Jdobbs - the reason I was asking about NTSC > PAL conversion is because I read your posts at the start of this thread with "Happyuser" - and you were telling him how this re-encodes every single frame one by one.
I just wondered if there was a way to incorporate a frame by frame NTSC to PAL re-encode into what RB does. Having written it, obviously I will take your word on the matter as final. Is it possible?
Thanx again

An NTSC to PAL conversion rarely results in the level of quality that DVD-RB users have come to expect. The problem is that you have to remove about one out of every six frames... and it is very hard to do that without causing a video jump or "tick" of some sort. It's easier for a FILM source -- but you then have to adjust all the audio timings to keep sync.
There are several NTSC->PAL techniques I've seen used... but there always seems to be "quirks".
PAL to NTSC is a little easier.. because you can do it using PULLDOWN flags.
I can't recall the "HappyUser" discussion (and this thread is kinda long)... but DVD-RB reencodes every frame in all of it's modes except when using ReJig.

Thanks jdobbs
The Happyuser - was a nuisance user who made an ass of himself telling you not to try and teach people about DVD-RB until you had learned about it (*which made me chuckle).
I appreciate being able to get an answer from the person who wrote the software. I know you know your stuff. So thanks for that jdobbs, and thanks for DVD-RB too.

I hope I am not posting a question for the second time, but this thread is sooo long I can't sit here and look at every query.
DVD-RB v0.97
Windows XP Media Edition
Brand new DELL 510 with:
-dual X86 family 15 model 4 stepping genuine intell processors
-512RAM
-1.6 gig
-2.80 Pentium 4
-Optiarc (Sony/NEC) 16X DVD DL burner
I recently purchased CCE-SP and wanted to use DVD-RB with it. I have been trying for 2 dyas now and cannot get CCE to encode anything with DVD-RB. I attempted first to load and enable everything on DVD-RB myself with no success. Try as I may, I looked at every tutorial out there, looked through the CCE manual for installing ecl's and everything, to no avail.
Then I found the read me with the link for the self-installer. I thought "Cool" and unloaded everything and reloaded first CCE-SP, then the DVD-RB set-up. It asked me a few questions and I answered them, creating 3 files c:\dvdrip, c:\dvdrip\dvd-rebuilder\dvdrb workfolder, and c:\dvdrip\dvd-rebuilder\dvdrb outputfolder. My linking them to the working folder and output being self-evident I assume.
Every time I try to prepare everything goes fine. When I go to encode I get this:
c:\dvdrip\dvd-rebuilder\dvdrb work
folder\d2vavs\item.ecl is not a ecl for cinema craft enc.
sp.
I click OK 3 times then get this:
error: file v01000000001001 shows completed, but no
.m2v file exists. Aborted.
I tried encoding with the included HC encoder to no avail. It processed for about 2 hours then kicked me off. I double passed and it passed through about 50 files before it booted me off.
Any ideas on what could be wrong?

If you are using full-up commercial ($1900) version of CCE SP, make sure you have set SETTINGS/CCE SETTINGS to "CCE SP". CCE SP commercial and CCE SP Trial have different headers in the ECL files. The error you are seeing is an indicator that the header is incorrect.
What do you mean when you say HC "kicked you off" after 2 hours? You may want to post your REBUILDER.INI file so we can see your settings.

I am sorry about not including my CCE version... 2.70.02.10
I have tried both versions just to ensure I have installed and set up everything correctly and neither one works. I recieve the same error each time. By the way, I am on the 3 click option, and I have tried 1 click and wound up with the same error codes.
Maybe my general set-up pathways are wrong. For some reason I had to manually input my CCE pathways while the paths to rejig, quenc, eclpro, decoder, and decomb.dll were automatically input.
My pathways are listed:
Path to CCE SP2.5 c:\dvd rip\ccesp\cctspt.exe
Path to CCE SP (new) c:\dvd rip\ccesp\cctspt.exe
Path to Rejigc:\dvd rip\dvd-rebuilder\encoders\rejig\rejig.exe
Path to QuEncc:\dvd rip\dvd-rebuilder\encoders\quenc\quenc.exe
Path to EclPROc:\dvd rip\dvd-rebuilder\encoders\eclpro\eclpro.exe
Path to Decoderc:\dvd rip\dvd-rebuilder\dgdencode.dll
Path to Decomb.dllc:\dvd rip\decomb521.dll
How do I access the rebuilder.ini folder (pardon my ignorance).
Oh yeah, with regaurds to the shut down, there was a listed error code and it said "stopped". I will retry it tonight when I don't need the computer and will list the error tomorrow if you think it might help. I just have alot to do and will be using alot of processor, so the endoding will be a bit prohibitive this evening.
