DVD-RB & CCE Guides/Tutorials

[Kris H]

Hi all,

I' learning to use DVD-RB and CCE (since it seems to be a well recommended solution) however there is a distinct lack of up to date guides that i can locate, i was wondering if anyone knew of one that is more recent than the one on afterdawn etc..

What specifically do you wan't to know. Ther hardest part is setting it up. After that it is pretty much automatic.

[Kris H]

Yeah exactly right, basically I'm after what options need to be set for encoding with CCE, and also prehaps for filtering with Deen and Undot (although there is recent guides for these).

Probably the easiest way to setup DVD Rebuilder is to use the Rockas installer. The installer has the freeware goodies required and will set the paths for you (my experience, using the Pro version of DVD-RB and the retail version of CCE Basic).

Try reading the guide avilable for download or the help file included with DVD-RB, for a change this help file is very good and will explain at lot of what you need to know

This is the link for the help file i:

Try these links for more information once you get the hang of things :

Also, reading the AVISynth help on its homepage regarding filters, there are plenty of filters that are very good at what they do, but bear in mind the better filters take a very, very long time

Pro version of DVDRB? I'd like to get that

Pro version of DVDRB? I'd like to get that

Same here. I wan't even aware that there was one. Where can we find that?

[steptoe]

To get the pro version of DVD-RB you need to donate, and you'll automatically be posted the latest version when its released, once you get the latest DVD-RB Pro link

The pro version has extra settings that are not available in the free version, the pro version is also released much sooner than the latest free version so has extra featires that won't eb in the free version for quite a while

Its well worth getting the pro version

the link is :

http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/

and click on the 'donate' button to get the latest DVD-RB Pro link mailed to you along with your own personal keyfile

To add to what Steptoe said ... HURRY!

DVD Rebuilder Pro is at RC2 status ... once it goes 'gold', the Pro version will become a commercial product, with a price tag higher than what many (I imagine) have donated. jdobbs will continue to offer a freeware version, but without all the 'bells & whistles' of the Pro version.

Get it ... you'll like it!

Anyone know of any guides that are up to date. The other guides are old and a lot of the changes to the software isnt in the guides...anyone know of anything?

I tried setting it up as best as I can by going off the guides that are available but I keep getting errors.

"Encoding resulted in no .M2V"
etc
etc

actually the Pro version is at RC5.1. I began with the free version and was quickly hooked on the quality (using CCE Basic) and now I have journeyed with this amazing prog since. AWE-SOME. I have used HC Hanks encoder (probably the best free encoder out there!) that comes with Rebuilder Pro and free version as well. Does a super job, yet once you use CCE you'll see the difference, especially on the 16X9 HDTVs. Yes, once you set it up it is pretty automatic. ANy questions just let me know and I'll try to help! It also allows you to take a 4:3 letterbox image and make it anamorphic 16X9. Totally awesome!
