DOIF4U and CCE error??? Please Help

I am having trouble with DOIF4U or CCE, im not sure which program the error is with. I am attempting to make a DVD Backup of Training Day. This is my First attempt at backing up a DVD and I had the one used in the guide, which I thought would make things simpler. I Use DOIF4U and make sure all the settings are as written in the Doom9 Guide. -Firstly, Do i "tick" all of the VTS files and then press DO IT, or do I tick only one at a time, it seems to crash if i tick all in one go and press DoIt?(this is probably an unrelated problem.) I dont want subtitles so I did not tick the VobSub box, and Training day does not require demux by VobID. The Problem is that I CLICK "Do It" and wait, and when The Whole Process is completed I look into the directories containing all the newly produced files, and there are no AVS files, just m2v and the ac3 etc. (there are supposed to be AVS files arent there?) I look at the log in DOIF4U and there are places where it says "starting D2V Processing" and then says "Error: no D2V files found". If I run the whole process again on the same VTS then the error message goes, and DVD2AVI does something, but this does not produce AVS files!!! I assume that AVS files are required as that is what the guide says to put into CCE. and when I try to load M2V files into CCE it says they are invalid files. I have tried putting all the different types of file into CCE and none are accepted. Is the problem with CCE or DOIF4U??? I am sorry if this problem is blatently obvious but I am new to this and would greatly appreciate any help you can give. James

First of all welcome to the forum. Have u installed avisynth? avs scripts r required to proccess the m2vs that were demuxed by decrypter. CCE can't be fed with m2vs streams. It produces them. It must be fed with avi files. I believe that your installation is wrong. Reinstall and post again.

Hi, Thanks for your input. I did not have AVISynth installed, and so I uninstalled DoItFast4U, then Installed AVI Synth and then DoItFast4U again. However the same thing happened on DIF4U. The Log below is what it showed when I tried just to run it on the first VTS... Begin LOG --- (13:45:56) DVDDEC Version 3.1.4.0 Location= C:\Program Files\DVD Decrypter (13:45:56) Split Mode= auto (13:45:57) C:\Program Files\DVD Decrypter\DVDDecrypter.exe (13:45:57) File to rename= (13:45:57) vid= 0, pgc= , ang= , vob= , cel= darloc= (13:45:57) Rename to= VTS__01_P.M2V (13:45:57) renerr= 3 vobid= 0 sub= 0 y= 1 iSUBPGC= 0 (13:45:57) AC3 File to rename= (13:45:57) Rename to= VTS__01_P-ch.AC3 --- (13:45:57) Step 2: Creating DVD2AVI Projects (13:45:57) No D2V files found!

PGCs found = 1 (13:45:57) Total Size of VOBs= 658659328 (13:45:57) Task Completed. I have checked the directory and inside it is: VTS_01_PGC_01_1 - 0xE0 - Video - MPEG-2 - 720x576 (PAL) - 4~3.M2V VTS_01_PGC_01_1 - 0x84 - Audio - AC3 - 2ch - 48kHz - DRC - English - DELAY -80ms.AC3 VTS_01_PGC_01 - Stream Information.txt VTS_01_0.IFO doitfast4u.log HOWEVER, interestingly, after DIF4U has fininshed what it is doing, if again I press Do It, (to repeat the exact same process), this time it does something different. This time it loads up DVD2AVI while it is running which it doesnt the first time, but when it is all finished there is still no AVS script in the directory, but there is in addition to the files above: VTS__01_P01-84ch2English.AC3 VTS__01_P01.4~3_1.d2v VTS__01_P01.4~3_1.M2V VTS__01_P01.4~3_1.AVS-no-cce <--- ODD!? What I think is happening is that DOIF4U is doing operations before the previous ones are completed, as on the second run it loads up DVD2AVI the same time as dvd decrypter and then halfway through the DVD2AVI processing it goes on to make an AVS script on the incomplete D2V file. Then while DVD2AVI and DVD decrypter are still running DIF4U says: Task Completed!!! Any help is again very appreciated. I have tried downloading older versions of DIF4U and versions from other sites but they still all do the same!!! Thanks, James

Hi, Thanks for your reply. You are right, the process finishes after a few seconds not waiting for programs to close, I will install the new release and try it out. Thanks James

I'm stumped. I even went and rented Training Day and was able to run DIF4U on it successfully. What OS are you using?

It gets the location of DVDDEC from the registry entry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\DVD Decrypter\InstallDirectory You need to install DVDDEC separately. It doesn't matter if it's before or after DoItFast4U is installed.

How does DIF4U detect whether DVDDEC has finished its current operations and decide to Open DVD2AVI? Here is my log, Is it supposed to say line 4 "NO FILES DEMUXED"???

In a nutshell.. DIF4U opens DVDDec, getting the handle to the process. It then waits around for an exit code to be received, telling it that the process has terminated. Does DVDDec open at all?

Yes MANY instances of DVDDEC open but then DIF4U continues as if it has finished! leaving all the DVDDEC instances to complete. So for some weird reason DIF4U is not getting the proper handle or is getting the EXIT call from the process much to early. Ill have a think about it. James

Do you have any strange utilities on your system? This is a very isolated incident, not a single other user is having this issue. I'm wondering if you have something running in the background that is causing a fake EXIT reading?
