Multiplexing problem

[DVDman]

I ripped and stripped a DVD using DVD2DVDR. It creates all the audio files and subtitles and the celltimes.txt. I wanted to use TmpgEnc because I think it gives me better quality. So I stopped the process of CCE, used TmpgEnc. After, I started ifoedit and after inputing all the audio files and subs the authoring/multiplexing starts. After it makes 3 vob files it stops with an error:

INTERNAL ERROR: additional data required but no free space in input buffer.

When I click ok I get another one:

INTERNAL ERROR: Input stream buffer too small. Please inform Derrow.

Then when I click OK I get a visual C++ runtime error on ifoedit that says "abnormal program termination".
After that ifoedit quits and there is nothing I can do.

It happens every time exactly in the same spot. I'm using WinXP and the drive I use for all files is NTFS (with planty of room) but my WinXP (c is fat 32.

Can anyone help?

Any one at all? Am I doing something wrong or is it the program?

First of all... I am surprised that you changed CCE for TMPG to get better quality... CCE by a mile long is better than TMPG...

Anyways... I can't really help with you finding an answer to your problem, but I can give you some advice, and that would be -- convert the FAT32 OS to NTFS.

Here...

Click Start, then click Run.
Type CMD and press <Enter>.
Type CONVERT C:/FS:NTFSand press <Enter>.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the conversion.

Well, it kept crashing in DVD2DVDr, besides I know TmpgEnc more then I know CCE. Why is it better? The image quality was about the same and the speed is also the same.

I stop using TMPG long ago... and for MPEG-2... TMPG is super slow... unless you have a dual cpu... CCE is much faster at VBR than TMPG is... And quality is actually better in CCE if you know how to use it... Doom9.org has a guide about getting the best out of CCE...

I'll check that out. Thanks.

Well, I got a "borrowed" copy of CCE 2.66 to test out and I can say that it does give a better picture vs TmpgEnc. But as far as your statement of it being much faster, ... I don't know about that. Roughly the same settings in both give me 19+hours in TmpgEnc and 15+hours in CCE.

I also figured out my problem that you can read about in the first post. It was the celltimes.txt that DVD2DVDR does NOT strip correctly. Once I did it manually it gave me the correct times. The DVD is SpiderMan and the movie has 40 times in the PGC and DVD2DVDR only stripped 28 (28 chapters). Anyway, after that I was able to compile the project and insert the smaller vob files back in to the original rip and just correct the ifos with ifoupdate. I did mess up the aspec ratio in TmpgEnc so I'm redoing it again in CCE. We'll see how it goes. I'm just playing with it and don't really care about speed.
Thanks for your recomendation however.
