New Tool: ShowBurner DVD Burning [with menus]

[xHerbiex]

ydekmekji,

You should check in the dvdtmp\tmp1\VIDEO_TS directory and see if there are files there. If you can play the files there in windows media player then you probably have the same nero problem I had. Look at the last zip file I posted and you will probably see the same errors you are getting.

I had to revise the nero command line in the batch file for the following parameters:
--drivename e was drive f but my writer is e
--iso-no-joliet was iso_no_joliet
--detect_non_empty_disc was detect_non_empty_cdrw
--force_erase_disc was force_erase_cdrw

I'm using nero 6.6 which seems to be different than pBS's version

[ydekmekji]

There is no VIDEO_TS directory that is built

ahh...you must be using an older version of mencoder...it says fspp not an option..so must be older version...try newer one from mplayer page or just remove the ,fspp from the mencoder line...

but you don't have to re-encode if you just want to burn it...
ffmpeg will make the file compliant without re-encoding..[tho it does take time and look like encoding,it's faster]
something else must be happening...fix the mencoder part and we'll take it from there..
trying to remember if you're trying to burn or just re-encode...and if using PAL it won't work yet...

[pBS]

ydekmekji: can you copy/paste the command window so i can see the errors?
both batch files can be run from command-line so try opening a cmd.exe window then just running burndvd.bat...wil allow scrolling up to see what's going on..
things we needed to do were make sure the output dir actually exists..[look in burndvd.bat, adjust line that says:
rem ******* Output directory********
set dvdtemp=e:\dvdtmp\tmp1
in this example make sure that e:\dvdtmp\tmp1 is already created..
[it won't create automatically]

if ok,are there any files in there?

[ydekmekji]

Does this error log help at all? (for some reason it wont log everything in cmd)

[pBS]

yep..same problem as herbie at the end there...
so do you have files in c:\dvdtmp\tmp1?
does that dir exist?

also need to edit nero burn line like herbie...
change the --iso_no_joliet to --iso-no-joliet
[my bad]

[ydekmekji]

The directory exists because I created it
But no files in there

for some reason, it shows that it's trying to put files in c:\dvdtmp\tmp1/VIDEO_TS/

in other words the slash becomes / rather than \ is that a problem?

[pBS]

that's ok...it's originally a linux program so it's the same..
but no files in there...hmm...
ok...remove @echo off line from top and you'll see more logging..
post the results..that should tell us where it's going wrong..

[ydekmekji]

alright here it is

[pBS]

hmmm,i'm not seeing any output from ffmpeg...it's loading it but in herbie's i saw the workings and yours doesn't show anything....are you using the version from the wiki with installer?
things to check:
in gbpvr\third party\ffmpeg\ is there a ffmpeg.exe *and* a fmpeg.exe?
are the variables adjusted for your situation? namely..in burndvd.bat:
rem ******* Output directory********
set dvdtemp=e:\dvdtmp\tmp1
rem *********"burn now?"
"C:\Program Files\Nero\nero 7\core\nerocmd.exe" --write --real --iso DVDNERO --no_user_interaction --drivename f --underrun_prot --create_iso_fs --create_udf_fs --iso_no_joliet --dvdvideo_cmpt --dvd --recursive --detect_non_empty_cdrw --force_erase_cdrw %dvdtemp%\* --dvdvideo_realloc
[make sure the --iso_no_joliet is corrected to --iso-no-joliet!]
and
rem ******* Below is location for que file
set dvdque=dvd-que
[location without path = gbpvr dir :eg. dvd-que=gbpvr\dvd-que]

in mencode.bat: [only needed if re-encoding]
set gbpvrdir="%PROGRAMFILES%\devnz\gbpvr\"
set list=e:\
