If you're going to use DVD Rebuilder and you got no experience with this application then my advice is that you read this manual completely at least one time before go any further... it will spare you some headaches.

THERE'S A FULL INSTALLER AVAILABLE ON WWW.DVDREBUILDER.COM.
The installer will provide you all the tools you need, except the commercial encoders (CCE and/or ProCoder) but will help you to configure the setup of these encoders as well (considering you own a copy of one of them). If you want to use one of the free encoder/transcoder available (QuEnc and ReJig) then you only need to have Avisynth installed before run the Installer.

PREPARING FOR INSTALLATION:

You will need ALL of these tools (all are free):

  • DVD Decrypter (Version 3.5.1.0 or above) or another ripping program (if backing up encrypted DVDs)

  • AVISYNTH installed (Version 2.5 or above recommended)

  • MPEG2DEC3 AviSynth Plugin (without lost-frame-bug) or DGDecode (it's faster). If you experience problems with your .avs files, be sure and check your version. When in doubt, use the version linked here.

  • DVD Rebuilder, of course.


Supported Encoders, you need at least ONE of these:

  • Cinemacraft Encoder (The Basic version is available for $59) -- Highest quality, Highly recommended.

  • ProCoder 1.5 & ProCoder 2 (beta support) thanks to Robo1 and his EclPRO -- Highest quality.
  • ReJig by NIC (Free) -- this is actually a high-quality high-speed transcoder

  • QuEnc 0.52 or later by NIC (Free) -- a good quality encoder, the best you'll get for free. DVD-RB, starting from release v0.57, requires QuEnc v0.52 or later.

  • (Planned support) TMPGENC

  • Others -- based upon demand.


Tools you MAY need (also free):

  • ECLCCE -- You need this if you are using CCE 2.5 or a TRIAL version of CCE 2.66 or greater.

  • Daemon Tools or similar Virtual Drive software -- You will need this if you plan to use a mounted ISO as your source.

  • Decomb Package -- You need this if you plan to use the deinterlace function. Make sure you get the package for your version of AviSynth (2.0 or 2.5). They are not interchangeable.
