Getting an error when trying to run BD_Rebuilder

[bohdank]

I'm new to burning BD's so need all the help I can get.

I used AnyDVD to rip a BD to a hard drive, then launched BDR and am getting this message. No idea what the problem might be. Any help would be appreciated. I also tried version 35662 of ffdshow. TRying to go to BD-25

I see two problems! You don't have Haali splitter installed and you have an incorrect version of ffdshow installed. Install those first and try again.

What is the right version of ffdshow ?

[bohdank]

I installed HAALI and it seems to be working now. The ffdshow error went away.

[mrswla]

The correct version of ffdshow is 3326. Anything else is a shot in the dark on whether it will work or not. Here is where to find the programs associated with bdrb and the authors forum for bugs and stuff.

Thanks. I finished the burn and tried it on a BR player, choosing random chapters. Looks like it worked well. For now, I'll stick with the 3771 version of ffdshow.

Now I want to convert to a regular DVD-5. BDR does not seem to have that option.

Any suggestions as to what I should use ?

[mrswla]

Yes it does. Under "Mode" select "alternate movie-only output". Select that. Only the movie will be done.

[bohdank]

Hmmm. Alternate Movie Only Output is greyed out for me.

Oops.. I needed to select Movie Only Backup first, then the other option became available.

I'm going to try it right now.

Thanks.

Worked great. I am impressed with the results.

Now, how to convert AVI or MPG2 to DVD-5 BD-DVD25.
