Rebuilder says the Flies are ALREADY dvd5??

I am trying to compress a few diffrent dvd's for backup and I keep gettign this error saying that the disk is already small enough for burning when in one case the dvd dir I am trying to compress is 7+ GB!!! If I hit the "do it anyway" thing I find that the compression is wierd ending up with a 3 gb version... has anyone had this problem and know wat is causing it?

Yes, I hade same problem but it was my mistake 'couse I've selected emtpy folder as source. FFS

I'm 99.9+ that I am selecting the correct directory.

i had this once when i mad a dvd lab project (was recombining the Friends S5 which were flippers (3.5 GB each side), onto signle discs) and had created single vob (VTS01_1.vob) of around 7gb as opposed to 7x 1GB vobs (VTS01_1.vob, VTS01_2.vob,etc.), ran it through shrink (no compression) to output it with 1GB vob limits and it worked fine

If you remove the DTS and other audio streams, then maybe whats left is simply less than the 4.37gb.

Sorry, I thought it had been implemented.

Did you do any preprocessing that might have butchered the IFO's?

I think that must be it.. One of the three cases it was a dvd produced by DVDlab Pro... I figured instead of me screwing round with encoding sizes, just make the dvd oversize then compress with rebuilder. The 2nd case was a movie that had nothing to offer in special features or whats it so I used DVDshrink to reauther it into a single movie title with no menus... the 3rd option was a strait copy of a dvd dycrypter rip.. so with that one I am not sure.

maybe try running the ifo's through IFOEdit and see if that can fix up some stuff.. Or try running them through remake. Those two tools seem to be fairly good at not totally hacking apart the ifo's. Plus both have features that will attempt to scan and fix ifo's so that may help you out.

do you have links for them?
