DVDRB - Encoder doesn't appear functional

[jagsr71]

OK. The more I read about this program the more of a believer I am about it. I've been reading every guide and forum about this program for the last 2 days but when I tried to run the program I ran into a glitch.
I've selected the HC encoder which was included in the DVD Rebuilder Installer package. Here is my log file:

Any suggestion? I guess I'm just getting tired and frustrated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I notice the movie is Wall-E. All I can say, within forum rules (please refer to rule 19) is to check your rip, as I am aware that this disc was very heavily protected. Many rippers were updated to take care of the new protections on this movie and I would strongly suspect the rip.

As well, naturally, check your setup. Have you ever encoded anything with HC before? Find another movie and check it out.

- AVISYNTH 2.5.5.0

Update to 2.5.7 - it's in the installer. Deinstall and reinstall AVISynth and DVDRB.

I thought 2.5.8.0 was the latest?

[blutach]

I thought 2.5.8 was still in beta (I have it on my machine and have never had trouble with it anyway).

Anyway, here is the download to AVISynth - http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=57023

Will do. I'll double check that I have the latest versions of DVDFab and AVISynth. No. I've never encoded anything with HC before. So I'll also find another movie and check it out as well. Thanks you guys. I'll let you know how it goes.

[jagsr71]

Ok. I downloaded the latest versions of DVDFab and AVISynth. First I tried by just getting the latest version of DVDFab. That didn't work. The culprit was AVISYNTH 2.5.5.0. I downloaded the most stable updated version which was 2.5.7. and it worked like a charm! I have the iso. image files but have yet to burn to disc to watch results. Hoping for the best though. .
Thanks you guys!
Oh, I was wondering about a couple of settings options.
Under MODE- Always use HC for redistribution pass and...
Under Settings - Multiple Encoder Processes
Advisable? Thanks again.

[blutach]

If you only use HC, setting Always use HC for redistribution pass is irrelevant. It is for CCE users where the redistribution fails sometimes.

If you have a dual core (or more) machine, using Multiple Encoder Processes might speed things up a tad. HC will use all power anyway - there are threads on Doom9 about this - search.

Thanks again for all the help. My 5 day waiting period for the doom9 forum is coming up so I'll definitely research more there as well. Regards and Merry Christmas!

You can always view threads at D9, irrespective of whether you can post.

Please; any suggestion for me ?

Uninstall both DVDRB and AVISynth. Reinstall.
