DVD ReBuilder 1.22.0 PRO

Posted by admin under Software

That’s where DVD ReBuilder (DVD-RB) comes in. This program was built to bridge the gap between the incredibly easy but limited “one-click” solutions and the incredibly complex but high-quality methods of DVD ripping and backup. Another advantage of DVD-RB when compared to older methods is that it doesn’t require access to an expensive authoring package. DVD-RB includes its own reauthoring engine that reconstructs the DVD in a way compatible with its original design.

Over the course of the past couple of years DVD ripping techniques have changed dramatically. Newer “one click” programs have made backing up a DVD a fairly simple process… but there is a significant trade-off. The quality that can be attained by even the best of these programs is poor in comparison to original techniques that used Cinemacraft Encoder, TMPGEnc, or other top-notch encoders. The reason is simple. When using one of these encoders the picture is rebuilt from scratch and optimized for the resulting bit rate. One-touch transcoders usually change quantization and/or motion info in order to lower the bit rate. This can result in pixelation and poor overall picture.

DVD Rebuilder PRO features:
- Closed Captions - Now DVD-RB will extract closed caption data from the original DVD and remultiplex it into the MPEG stream during REBUILD.
- Menu Encoding - The ability to scan and reencode menu segments in the same way as standard title sets.
- Multiple encoder instances - On multiple core computers and some very fast single core computers using hyperthreading this will take advantage of unused processor time.
- Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
- Movie and Menus Only capability - allows you to get the best quality within limited available space.
- Segment Blanking - Provides you a capability to remove annoying intro screens.
- Slideshow Mode - Convert “Extra” segments into a slideshow, saving valuable space for the Feature.
- Advanced Encoding Features - Modify GOP size, add customized encoder quantizer matrices, set DC precision.
- Movie-Only - mode that gives the highest quality possible. Every available bit is dedicated to the feature.
- One pass encoding support for HC encoder - Gives high quality results in much less time.
- Graphic Analysis display for use in analyzing the IFO structure - draws PGC/CELL relationships.
- ISO file creation is now supported to make it easier to archive or burn DVD-RB’s output.
- Automatic burning using ImgBurn or DVD Decrypter - makes complete DVD Backup truly “one-click”.
- Remapping audio tracks - set the default to your language or preferred format.
- New intuitive interface - modernizes and simplifies control of your rebuild!
- Full support for video interleaving (ILVU) - re-encodes angle and seamless branching.
…and more… with many additional features planned in the near future!

Changes in version 1.22, February 24th, 2007:
- Improved program robustness in several areas, it now recognizes more oddities in the source and compensates to reduce likelihood of output glitches.
- Added detection and auto configuration for multiple core processing. Now the “Multiple Encoder Processes” setting is automatically set to match the number of processors at startup or when clicking on the “Multiple Encoder Processes” option. If you only have one processor and select the option, DVD-RB will assume a “fast” system and will set the process count to 2. You can, however, manually override the setting by changing the “Encode_Processes=” parameter in REBUILDER.INI (for instance if you want to use only 2 processors for encoding on a 4 processor system).
- Made the new style editor the default.
- Updated code to make DVD-RB less likely to run into security issue when running under Windows Vista.
- Added an “Auto” setting to the MOBILE settings dialog for “GOP Size” — this will let FFMPEG decide the size.
- Added parameters to hold constant Q when used with H264 for MOBILE encoding. The parameter wasn’t being honored with previous versins. Constant Q is enabled by entering a video bitrate of less than 32 (interpreted to be a Q value).
- Corrected “Runtime Error 461″ that can occur when attempting to drag entries in the “Batch” list box.
- Changed the way in which rate control parameters are passed to FFMPEG when doing MOBILE encoding.
- Corrected “Error attempting to close DVD” that occured when MOBILE encoding attempted on a source that wasn’t PREPARED with MOBILE options.
- Faster HC encoding speed (especially SSE2 supporting processors. Updated the installer to include HC Encoder v0.20
- Improved rate control on QuEnc. Updated the installer to include QuEnc v0.72
- Other minor and cosmetic changes.

RAR Repair Tool Version 3.0

Posted by admin under Software

RAR Repair Tool is designed to fix damaged RAR and SFX archives. In doing this, it provides maximum efficiency and accuracy. Unique to this software is a well-written recovery algorithm that provides good recovery results regardless of the size and number of volumes in a corrupted archive. For maximum productivity, RAR Repair Tool has a batch mode. With its help, you can have several corrupted RAR archives fixed automatically.

Many things can cause file damage. The noise, introduced into downloads by line overload can cause transfer errors and finally corrupt your rar file. Physical damage to removable media can bring disruption into archive integrity and as a result you will have a rar file in need for recovery. Ordinary rar applications fail to extract archives whose integrity was disrupted. In case of a rar file damage, it is the cyclic redundancy check, or CRC, that prevents you from extracting its contents, even if their part is intact. Instead, a notification appears, saying “Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive”.

Rar Repair Tool key features:

* Repairing all versions of both RAR and SFX archives;
* Recovery of multi-volume archives;
* Ability to fix rar files of any size (4 Gb and more);
* Batch mode;
* Robust recovery engine;
* Full automation of recovery process;
* Drag&Drop support;
* User-friendly interface.
