Hi Guys!
I haven't been on the forum in awhile because I haven't bumped into any new problems. I just had a new problem crop up and let me run it by you.
Here's what is contained in my dvdremake.log file:
| dvdremake.log wrote: | Read DVD from: D:\HOODWINKED_MOVIE
Read VMG
Read VTS1
Read DVD from: D:\HOODWINKED_ENDCREDITS
Read VMG
Read VTS1
Replace block >> different streams (1416:AngleBlockListExView.cpp)
Operation canceled
Can't write VTS 1. |
What I'm doing is this:
I only have a single-sided DVD burner in my computer so I have to use DVD Shrink to get a DVD-9 sized movie down to a DVD-5. I could just copy the whole movie with DVD Shrink from opening credits through to the end of the end credits. This would not be a problem.
But what I thought of doing is to go from the opening credits through to just before the start of the end credit roll. In the Compression Settings of DVD Shrink, I would pick "Automatic" for the main movie part and pick "Custom Ratio" for the end credits roll and slide the slider all the way down to the least-most percentage I could get.
I want to do this to maximize the quality given to the movie part, and have the end credits roll rough, but still there as part of the DVD.
What I do is break the two parts off as two separately created movie clips.
And here's where DvDRemake Pro v.3.6.3 comes in:
1. I open the first part (main movie clip) and I open the second part (end credits roll)
2. I go to the last block, go to the end of that block, and split the block.
3. I restore that block I just altered.
4. I replace the very last block with the end credits roll. It seems to work fine when I run a test or the actual new compilation, but I get the pop-up message that an error occurred and to look in the log file for details.
So, questions:
1. Why is this happening, about the streams being different, if the clips were created from the same program, DVD Shrink?
2. And why is it apparently working fine when I play back the test compilation with CyberLink's PowerDVD?
3. Can this be corrected or fixed as to what's going wrong or in what I'm doing that's wrong?
4. Is it something that I should even be concerned about? I mean I am concerned right now, because if it's not creating something correctly, will I be asking for trouble down the line when I actually burn the remade DVD compilation to a CD-R and then play it in a standalone DVD player? |

| Do you have DVD Rebuilder Pro? It's a great program for this sorta thing. You can compress the movie and customize the compression ratio for the end credits. And you can keep full DVD functionality. |

I don't, but thanks for the tip, toaddub. I'll check it out.
Would you have any idea what is going wrong in the above problem I described?
By the way, I forgot to mention this before: the end credits clip that I cut out of the main movie and created as a standalone clip to then import into DvDRemake, does not have the subtitle box checkmarked off because it doesn't contain any subtitles when the end credits roll up the screen, so I left it unchecked to save space. The movie portion preceding the end credits roll does have subtitles, so I did check the subtitles box. So, do you think THIS is what the "different streams" error occurring is the cause? |

Yes, that's what happened. The ending credits originally is part of the movie that already contain the subtitles. When you're replacing it back, you want it to have the same number of streams, so check the subtitles box.
Are you using the Reauthor mode in DvdShrink - with main movie as title 1 using Set Start/End frames and end credits as title 2 using Set Start/End frames? Main movie being Automatic and end credits being Custom Ratio. |

Just curious, why does it still work with two different streams in the final export? I mean it plays quite normally when I tried it through PowerDVD.

Yes, Reauthor mode and "Automatic" for movie part, "Custom Ratio" (all the way down) for the end credits part.
I wish that DVD Shrink didn't break off the end credits as a separate title set. This stinks because it doesn't remain as part of Title Set 1, so if I hit "Next Track" on the remote, it goes to Title Set 2, there's a slight pause in playback, then plays Title Set 2. And you can't "Previous Track" your way back to Title Set 1 with the remote. This sucks!
If DVD Shrink didn't do this and created a seamless reauthoring of the movie clips, I'd be all set. But it creates all separate, independent clips that just happen to play one after another.
Speaking of tracks, does DvdRemake have a feature to add a track or chapter to the main movie section? I'm sorry, I don't know what to call that filmstrip thingie.
Actually, let me ask this question in its own thread. To be continued there... |

Of course, it still works because the audio stream is still the same for both the movie and the end credits. You get a warning on the replacement because the end credits do not have the subtitle stream while the movie does.
As for DVD Shrink, that's unfortunate indeed but that's how it is if you don't mind the pause. That's why I suggested using DvdRebuilder Pro. You will not have this problem. Besides, you can even customize the compression ratio for each segment. However, your current method will work as well since you tested on PowerDVD.
To go to previous title from Dvd Shrink's Reauthor mode, there is an excellent DvdShrink plugin within PgcEdit that you can use. |

Great! Thanks for that explanation, toaddub.

What is the name of this PgcEdit plugin and would you happen to have a link to get it? |
