In case you didn't see it, if you're going to try out my suggestion, make sure you follow the edited version of the instructions instead of the original (incorrect) version.

MPEG2DEC=C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll
I didn't want to confuse Erik. The above is the exact path for MPEG2Dec3dg.dll in my setup; in AviSynth. So, I am aware it works there as well. I thought the MPEG2DEC command was still supposed to be present in the configuration file of RB. It appears in my configuration setting. It appears as though the path to MPEG2Dec3dg.dll was not set when setting up the RB.
What happens with RB/CCE if the path to MPEG2Dec3dg.dll is left out? If the path isn't needed, why put that step in the setup portion of Rebuild?.

If you put a DLL in the plugins directory, it will be automatically loaded every time AviSynth frameserves a script, whether it's used or not. Sometimes people have problems due to issues with the location of their plugins directory being specified incorrectly in the registry. This is normally caused by some program hijacking that setting during install (DVD2DVDR did that to me). When in doubt, it's always safer to use the LoadPlugin line, but not usually necessary.

Thanks for the explanation Vurbal. Guess it might be handy to put a note in the guide. 'If you put the MPEG2Dec3dg.dll file in the Avisynth plugins folder, you don't need it in the Rebuilder folder and don't need to worry about setting the path in Rebuilder'. It is a constant learning experience around here. Thanks again for the info.

Hi guys!
It seems that I was successfull in solving my problem thanks of course to suggestions from Vurbal, Sophocles and Brobear.
What exactly I did:
First I replaced all lines "non_linear=1" with "non_linear=0" and even with "non_linear=2" as suggested by Vurbal and as discussed in Doom9 forum. Results: none or nothing changed - I was still getting the same error at the same spot.
Then as I went through the settings of DVD-RB I added the path to the mpeg2dec3dg.dll which, as I said before, was in AviSynth plugin folder. As a result the line MPEG2DEC=C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\MPEG2Dec3dg.dll
appeared in rebulder.ini. Results: SUCCESS!
No more errors whatsoever - the whole process went through like a charm. It seems that for certains movies it is necessarry after all to have the path to MPEG2Dec3dg.dll defined even if the file resides in AviSynth subfolder. For me it is rather interesting since so far I have backed up around 30 movies without any problems and without MPEG2Dec3dg.dll path present (as you all coud see).
Anyway - problem solved and many thanks to Vurbal, Brobear and Sophocles for their effort and involvement. I must say that such user support makes DVD-RB the greatest tool around.
Best regards and many more successful programes like DVD-RB!
Erik

Thanks for that information it'll no doubt be useful to someone using similar configurations.

Erik,
Glad you got it taken care of. I'll remember not to forget and leave the path out of the setup; just for insurance. Guess some of us learned a little extra from your misfortune. My personal guide on this as in most things; go by the basics of the program until it works and then play with the extras and tweaks.

I'd be concerned if the DLL in your plugins folder was working before but isn't now. Due to the way plugins are loaded, there shouldn't be any difference between autoloading and explicit loading unless there's another DLL in your plugins folder that loads after it (I don't know what order they load in) and has a filter with the same name. The only DLLs that should use that name would be other MPEG2DEC versions.

Hi All!
Here is a problem that may not have a solution. I captured a TV show using cyberlink PowerProducer 2 at full DVD resolution (720X480). I then changed the MPG-2 stream into a 7.4GB DVD. The new DVD played fine, however its way too large for a type 5 burnable.
I used DVD-RB\CCE basic to re-encode it. THe picture looked great. However, the audio had some serious drop-outs about every 3 seconds. I ended up using DVD Shrink to compress the film. This of course was a work-around and not a solution.

When you made recording, what were your audio settings. Many DVR's offer a wide range of audio recording formats such as MP3 and not all are DVD compliant.

I agree that it may very well be the capture or authoring that's causing this problem though. If it's an authoring issue, it's likely that just opening it with Shrink and doing a backup with not compression would probably fix the problem. If it's from the capture itself, you might have to do something more drastic, like using and MPEG editor to resave the video before authoring. I'm not familiar with how Power Producer works, so I don't know if you can do this as an intermediate step.

Sophocles,
The video capture was using LPM for it's MPG-2 file. LPM is the format reccomended for NTSC standards.

Donald,
I captured a movie off of TCN (2 hours). At the end of the capture I removed about 30 seconds of unwanted content from the video using power Producer 2. After this point I converted the project to a DVD using the same tool.
The hardware capture device was a ATI TV Wonder Pro.

All,
It sounds like all the added work is not overly beneficial. A captured video off the cable signal is only as good as it gets (VHS quality). While this is a non disputable fact it seems, I would like to understand what is causing the audio drop-outs. Perhaps its just the method Power Producer 2 used to create the source DVD.

I still believe that it has something to do with the original signal being somehow imcompatible with RB/CCE. I also have a tuner in my PC and when I get a chance I'll try to repeat your experience and see if my results are the same as yours. Right now I'm getting ready to get the crap kicked out of me by hurricane Frances.
