Last chance to own DVD-Rebuilder Pro for $10

[r3n4ud]

Just letting you folks know, if you don't already know, that as of tomorrow, October 7th, donating $10 for dvd-rebuilder pro is finished. Since dvd-rb pro 1.00 'final' is being released tomorrow, it'll cost you $29.95 to have the pro version.

So all of you who are sitting on the fence deciding whether to buy the pro version or not, decide soon!

Why buy it? I don't see that it does anything better than the free one. I can rip and burn separately, so what advantage does it have?

One advantage is it can create ISO images automatically which in my opinion is a nice feature. It has features that the free version will never have. Check out the DVDRB FORUM at Doom9.org. For a $10.00 donation it's well worth getting. The best $10.00 software in my opinion! :P

[lordsmurf]

Yeah, I surely don't mind spending money on good software, especially not a bargain of $10, but I see nothing so far that encourages me to buy the Pro one. Ripping, burning and ISO output is of no concern to me.

.... or are these automated into a single process? Is that the big deal about the Pro version?

I guess I'm just not seeing what the deal is, looking for the easy answer from somebody that can give it.

[budz]

Why not ask what the difference is between PRO vs FREE at the DVDRB FORUM at Doom9.org!!!!! :P I'm sure you'll get your answers!!!

I like the fact that a ISO IMAGE can be built automatically after the rebuilding process is done. ONE CLICK is all it takes after checking off CREATE ISO IMAGE. How hard is that? I rip with DECRYPTER first then just use DVDRB. Sure I can use IMG CLASSIC TOOL to create a ISO image but why use another program when DVDRB can do it all. Just my freaking 2 cents! :P

The Pro version has quite a few features not available in the free version:

For me, the biggest advantage is the ability to back up DVDs with angles and ILVU. Have you ever tried to back up one of the Disney titles, the ones where the credits flip back and forth, keeping the Angles/ILVU? As far as I know, it's impossible unless you're prepared to do a ton of work using the Big Three method. DVD-RB Pro makes it simple. Maybe you like to strip out all but one angle, I don't know. But say you have a Disney anime, such as Spirited Away. You want to keep the Japanese Angle for yourself, and the English Angle for kids that don't read subtitles. DVD-RB Pro can do it, whereas the free version can't. Even a DVD with seamless branching, such as Terminator 2 can be handled so that you keep both the theatrical version, as well as the extended version. This is no small accomplishment.

Sure, many of its other features can be handled with other programs such as VobBlanker, PGCEdit or ImgTool Classic. But that Angle/ILVU stuff can be a bitch. Having said that, though. I've only used the Pro version a couple of times myself, to back up a couple of titles with ILVU. I much prefer to shape and encode the DVD myself, whenever possible.

Thanks. Sounds like it has some nice features, just nothing I need or want. Appreciate the response.

Ditto. I'm getting by just fine with the free one & the other various programs I use with it that I've been using for years. That's not to say that it isn't worth the 30 bucks to someone else, or even myself later on down the road after a few revisions, but for now I'm competent enough and getting the results I want with the free one, tempting as the 10 dollar price tag has been.

I think it's the worth $10.00 even if you never use the extra features. $10.00 is not a lot when you think of all the work that went into making the program.

Rather just donate outright.

I tried the DVDRB & Shrink on a test with a 6.00g file & I could'nt see any dif. in quality . Actually the Shrink looked some better .. But, naybe its just my setting?

You clearly did something wrong.
Also failed to mention the encoder being used.

DVD-RB with Procoder beats the crap out of DVD Shrink, no contest.
But that route is more timely and often unneeded.

[winifreid]

I am sure there is a list of all the differences, but the one I like is the one click to encode, image and burn. I can start the process at night and wakeup and have my disk waiting for me. I think one of the other differences has to do with HC, but I use cce. But it may be too late to get the $10 version. Keep in mind $10 gets you any future updates.

[noslow]

Most likly? I just used the freeware 95 with the cce basic. I clearly need a simple guide on the ins & outs to setup .

Ok, I got the Canopus_ProCoder now how & what DVDRB ver. do I set it up with? plz. Thanks

Hate to bug you, buty, how do you set up your DVDRB setting to encode
your larger files? I got the Canopus_ProCoder & the v0.95 Freeware LE ware. I;m lost as to what & how the new Canopus_ProCoder is suppose to worh with the DVDRB. Also, I not sure what CCE Opts. to use, actually all opts. for the best effects.

I,ve looked at the help files but its not helping me, so forgive my no how with this DVDRB setup. Thanks

The deafault settings that dvdrb sets for cce are just fine.I asked this question when i first started using rebuilder last year,and that is the response from the creators.I use cce trial,and set the passes to 3,but that's all i change.

Thanks.. But what is the 59$
Canopus_ProCoder for?

[lordsmurf]

I read the install and that was it. Nothing else has to be changed.

I only use this on backing up really stuffed discs, so I go to the AVS options and drop to HALF D1 to maintain a better bitrate allocation.

I'm using the full version of Procoder 2, dongle and all, so I have no idea if it works with Express, and the illegal PC2 downloads are so messed up, who knows if those work.

[bmiller]

You use Pro-coder or cce or rejig etc for rencoding.If you have cce basic you don't need procoder.Leave all the settings at the default,with cce selected as the encoder.
