I just set up RB-ProCoder2. I believe I did it properly. When RB-ProCoder2 is running, it looks like things are going OK, but the whole process finishes in about half and hour...way too fast. When I go to play the files I get this message in the player:
Script error: there is no function named "mpeg2source"
(F:\____PROC TEST\D2VAVS\VOQOOOOOOOO1001.avs, line 5)
Any ideas about what is causing this?

There was a problem like this before in a different forum the person had to re-install DVD-Rebuilder to get it to work. I'll just try and find the thread, here it is http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=183463
Also I suggest using the installer version as it has evrything you need to get started.

Thanks for the link. It was a big help! I had also run into just about every problem they mentioned.
I began using RB some time ago with CCE, and was used to manually installing everything. I tried the auto install once, but it didn't work for me...so I abandoned the idea and stayed manual. However, I did take your advice, and did the auto install after uninstalling Avisynth. The install went OK this time, and I am now running ProCoder2.

Yes...I got things sorted out...finally. Thanks. I also found that ProCoder did a lot better than CCE on converting TV shows.

I think you will find that Procoder2 works better than CCE fullstop. For me it gives a better picture with tvshows, anime, action movies, low bitrate films, very high compressed movies, plus many more.
It takes longer than CCE, but the extra qualiy you get is worth the wait IMO.

It really doesn't take that much longer 4 me. Only real disadvantage I can see is it is very difficult to multi-task with procoder whereas not a problem w/ CCE.

Thanks for the advice. Mort81 posted a test he did on what I think was a recent commercial DVD, and the results were very, very close.
However, with this old TV show project, there was no comparison. CCE was unacceptable...and I was actually getting better results with DVD2One. I am now compressing around 7.8 GB onto a DVD-5, and I can't tell the difference between the source files and the PC2 output...and that's on my hi-res computer screen.

Mort...I use the good computer for video...and an old one for everything else including internet. I use a belkin omnicube KVM switch so that I can use just use one mouse, keyboard and monitor, and then toggle between the two. I gave up trying to multi-task on the video rendering machine a long time ago...seems I kept freezing things up.
add on:
Mort...I looked for the thread with your CCE Procoder test. Could you post it here for reference?

It all comes down to PC specs.

Mort81... Thanks...that was it...page 4 of the thread.
Pazzini...I would agree that for some it does come down to specs...both hardware and software. I mostly use W2k, whereas XP is more forgiving with the freezes. I have a fairly recent system (not dual core yet) with 2 gigs of ram...and some apps will simply use everything available to them...thus slowing down other apps.
Most folks end up with more than one computer anyway...so why toss it when it is great for routine things?

Procoder is a great encoder. However, if you do not have one of the higher end machines to use it It can make the most patient person a clock watcher.
I will revisit procoder when a new machine comes to replace my old work hourse. .

Hi Gnomex...you didn't say what you use as an alternative...but I'm assuming it is a flavor of CCE? I've spent a lot of time in various threads and forums extolling the virtures of CCE...but now it seems I've found a new "religion"...
My latest 7.8 GB (TV series) with PC2-mastering quality took nearly 7 hours with with my P 3.4 oc'd to 4.2, with 1 GB of DDRAM. This is almost 3 times as long as a CCE 2-pass. So...yes, it could try your patience...unless you plan it to run while you are sleeping like I try to?
I think Pazzini hit the nail on the head when he said PC2 works well with TV shows, low-bitrate films, etc. Thus far I have found it far superior to CCE SP 3-pass.

Doc409,
Your starting to hurt my feelings by bashing CCE so hard. I agree PC2 is the best of the bunch for every application but for new releases with good bitrate and if the reduction level is 60% or higher I will continue to use CCE for those.

That's funny...since YOU are the one that got me thinking RB-Procoder in the first place with your test! I had just been using it as a standalone app. I know what you mean, though...and CCE will always be a favorite with me too. It's just that I am finding that Procoder's special virtures have been somewhat overlooked in these forums.

Don't get me wrong. I'm very glad I decided to include PC2 in my encoder arsonel but I can still get excellent results with CCE 2 passes on most applications and be done in under 2 hours on most where PC2 mastering quality takes considerably more time. On my rig, PC2 doesn't take much more time than CCE 3 passes but I seldom run CCE at 3 passes either.
From now on, anything I would have ran CCE 3 passes, I will use PC2 mastering quality instead.
