    DVD Rebuilder 1.00 RC1

    1.00 final seems to be at hand; rc1 was released yesterday

    July 2nd, 2005 (v1.00RC1)

    CHANGES MADE TO PRO VERSION ONLY

    - Added a new v1.00 graphical interface that is based upon a prototype developed by Teck. Now by using selection tabs the majority of functions can all be handled from within the main dialog! My thanks to Teck for a great idea. I've also included a Rockas theme design (based upon Teck's) as the default. For folks who like the traditional interface -- you have something new too! Rockas has updated the Professional Edition with a new "Rockas Original" skin design. Skins are still fully functional.

    - Added full support for reencoding and reauthoring of ILVU sequences. Now very large ILVU sections will no longer put severe limits on bitrates. Lots of new code was implemented here -- I ask that all of the DVD-RB beta testers please exercise it thoroughly and report back on DOOM9. Note: If you run into problems or would like to disable this code for any reason and force use of the previous "ILVU-intact" method -- add the hidden command "ILVU_Encode=0" in the [Options] section of the REBUILDER.INI file.

    - Implemented a new key mechanism. It works much like the old one -- in that you have to simply copy the file into the DVD-RB directory. But you must also know your registered e-mail address and use it to activate the key (from within DVD-RB). Also, it is always named "REBUILDER.RBK" -- the last naming structure caused lots of headaches for those having a ".AU" in their e-mail name. It also threw errors when double clicked because it wasn't a registry key as many assumed.

    - Added ISO failsafe code so that padding is inserted at any time it may be possible for an IFO and BUP to overlap in the same ECC. This dramatically decreases the possibility of a scratch ever damaging both an IFO and it's corresponding backup (BUP) file (which can render a disc unplayable). Note that this action is only taken when DVD-RB has been instructed to create an ISO image. Also note IFOEDIT will incorrectly see the changes to the IFO for padding as offset errors. Do NOT perform an IFOEDIT "Get VTS Sectors" against a VIDEO_TS folder that has been built for ISO unless you are planning to use some other burning package to create the disc -- as IFOEDIT will incorrectly change the values back to the non-failsafe state.

    - Added procedures that automatically determine the volume label and ISO filename when selecting an input source. Uses actual device detected Volume ID or directory name depending upon the input source and path format. Default value is "DVD-VIDEO"

    - Added quotes around volume label for ISO creation. Previously any spaces in the volume name could cause ISO burn to get confused.

    - Fixed an error in which an iDCT method loaded from a project could cause two options to be checked.

    - Updated the QLB Matrix to match DragonGodz latest changes. in order to update it, you can just delete the file "QuEnc Lower Bitrate (QLB).mtx" from the MATRIX directory under the DVD-RB installation path. DVD-RB will see it is missing and update it when next started.

    - Modified the parameters for HC to match the newer versions -- there is now only three quality profiles (FAST, NORMAL, BEST).

    - Fixed an error in which the segment viewer/editor would allow you to make changes even though the source information had changed since PREPARE.

    - Changed the viewer/editor so is shows VOBID/CELLID and length (in hh:mm:ss:ff) in time rather than segment number and frame count. I think this may be more useful information to most people.

    - Added two more options to the FILE menu. You can now select to create an ISO, or create and write (to disc) an ISO for the current project.

    - Fixed an error that could cause undersizing in movie-only encodes due to miscalculating the size of the original stream (especially true in ILVU sources).



    CHANGES MADE TO PRO AND FREEWARE VERSIONS

    - Fixed an error that could cause an "Runtime Error 9" upon program start or when loading a Project file when the source path is no longer present.

    - Added code to disable path buttons when running any of the tree phases. Previously changing any of the Source, Working, or Output paths (either purposefully or accidentally) during execution could cause various errors (including Runtime 54).

    - Adjusted the average bitrate for encodes to ensure it the minimum and average bitrates were never the same.

    - Added a confirmation note when audio or subpicture defaults are saved from the SETUP screen. Also removed the old screen flags that were incompatible with skins.

    - Fixed an error in which ReJig could receive values greater than 100% for its reduction level.

    - Fixed an error that could result in "Runtime Error 52" on certain sources when using either ReJig or "No Compression" settings.

    - Fixed an error in which exiting via the Windows "X" while rebuilding is in occuring could have anomalous results -- including program lockout.
    if interested in this piece of software, you might want to register BEFORE rb 1.00 becomes final:

    When DVD-RB Pro is released as a final product (version
    1.00), VIPs who have donated at least $10.00 (or equivalent time and effort) will become members of the DVD Rebuilder charter team -- and will receive version updates for the life of the product. Those waiting until official release will be required to pay the $29.95 commercial price. As the software is now being distributes as a release candidate, this deal is coming to a close shortly. If you donate now, you can still become a member of the DVD Rebuilder VIP team, and receive the Professional Edition today!
