Rebuilder TOO Big!!!

[averyisiah]

Ok, I have rebuilder 0.77, I am using CCE 2.67 SP and I have it set at 4 pass mode.
I am encoding a 7.5Gb DVD to a DVD-R and after waiting 9 hours for this crap the final size of the encoded DVD is 16Gb. ?>?????
Ok, I know I messsed up but God DAMN!! What did I do wrong, what do I have to change and do I really need to do a 4 pass or is a 1 pass the same quality. Please give me your suggestions on what settings to use so I can get the best quality on 1 DVD-R
Thanks for your help, and I used the Doom9 guide to do this....

First off, I suggest upgrading your version of DVD-RB. Second I dont know from experience but I hear that 4 passes is definately better then 1 pass, however, any more than for and it can be overkill. I havent actually succeded yet with CCE but when I make an attempt I have it set to 3 pass.

By all means, get the latest version- the installer version. It's puzzling so many people have problems with DVDRB. I still use v.0.52 and vaguely remember having to get rid of an old incompatible version of Avisynth, also searching for a specific version of MPEG2Dec3 that didn't bugger things up. I think I also had to drop a .dll or two into system 32.

But those bad old days should be over. Tried the installer? It should make all that crap unnecessary.

P.S.: Yeah, I always download and save new releases. But why should I dump v. 0.52, it's been perfect after all the time and trouble it cost me to get it working.

Been using DVDRB since about 0.52, and never had it bugger up. I am currently using 0.82, with CCE 2.67, and it works quite happily as 3 passes. I have heard of cases where, like Shrink, it gives results that are slightly too big, and a second run through ( or a dose of shrink ) will set things right. I have never heard of it coming out at double the size.
