Something special for PRO users/VIPs - version 1.20 BETA

[blutach]

A new beta has been released which adds a whole new dimension to DVD Rebuilder.

This involves encoding to MP4 format, including Ipods and other mobile devices.

It is a beta to all registered VIPs. It is likely to be buggy.

If you wanna test it, download it here.

Note: If you are not a VIP, don't bother - it won't work for you.

Changelog from 1.12.1

• Added support for writing several new output formats. Generally for MOBILE encoding (such as iPod), DVD-RB can now output MP4, AVI, and other video and audio formats. The capability should be considered as BETA TEST status (to identify bugs) only in this version. A new "MOBILE (iPod) Output" option can now be set under the "Mode" menu. Currently DVD-RB Pro uses FFMPEG (included in the installer) to create the output using XviD, H264, and a large spectrum of other possible video/audio formats (via FFMPEG). FFMPEG is a fast and powerful video format encoder that is provided under the GNU Public License Agreement. Read the file "License.txt" for more information. Support for other encoders may be included in future versions.
  
• Corrected a processing problem during the PREPARE phase for "Movie-Only" encodes. The problem could cause PREPARE to take significantly more time than is necessary.
  
• Added code to test and correct for corrupt streams in which garbage are at the start of a cell, and are followed by the orphaned remains of a GOP. This condition has been seen to cause incorrect writes of frame flags and the error condition "Corrupt Stream Detected" during REBUILD.
  
• Made adjustments to the sizing algorithm in order to prevent oversizing on oddly formatted DVDs that have huge numbers of very small segments.
  
• Corrected a bug in which ILVU segments might receive a lessor bitrate than they should based upon the analysis.
  
• Updated the calling/checking mechanisms used to invoke encoders. This should make the processing more robust as well as (slightly) improve encode times.
  
• Made several changes to the way the PREPARE phase records information.
  
• Other minor and cosmetic changes.

For more info, see this thread at Doom9 (where jdobbs would like to receive testing feedback).

it is, ofcourse, THE tool for dvd9-->dvd5 (and thankyou jdobbs ). but since i've had the HTPC, either just file mode or to x264 mkv for me. i'd really like to see HD DVD/BR support in the future

think it's about time for me to set up a paypal account...

Thanks for the info and link Blu
Thanks for the program jdobbs This has been on my DVD Rebuilder wish list for some time now.

[blutach]

See if you can get some audio in the output BR7. Insert the line FrameLimit=2000 in the [Mobile] part of your REBUILDER.INI file for a quickie test.

Sorry the delay blu with dial up my download took 45min.I just added it to my ini and I will post results here in a bit

[BR7]

OK I got no sound

[jdobbs]

Sorry about the sound thing. The installer didn't set up one of the paths properly. I've fixed it. You can either download the installer again or add this line to the "[Paths]" section of your REBUILDER.INI file:

Look at the entry for "DECOMB=" it will show you the correct path... but usually this is it:

NICAUDIO=C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\nicaudio.dll

Thanks jdobbs

Bada Bing!
