How to install and use DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP 2.7 guide by Alkohol

NOTE: this is just a basic guide for newbies or those that are interested on using DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP only.

WARNING: please don't use cracked versions, DVD-RB Pro is merely $30 and to be honest, it's worth every penny. I never used DVD-RB Basic; I went straight with the Pro version and never looked back. Please support Jdobbs for all of his hard works.

A big thanks to Jdobbs for creating such a beautiful tool for the few of us, especially those that values the "quality" of their DVD backups.

This guide will cover:
• The installation of DVD-RB Pro
• Encoder's Configuration
• DVD-RB Pro's basic settings
• Basic Encoding steps using DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP 2.70

Tools
• DVD-RB Pro http://www.jdobbs.com/
CCE SP http://www.cinemacraft.com/eng/index.html
• ProCoder 2 http://www.canopus.com/products/ProCoderSW/index.php
• Hank's HC Encoder http://www.bitburners.com/HC_Encoder/

NOTE: a lot of people either use DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP 2.70 or ProCoder 2. Some says ProCoder 2 is better than CCE SP, yet some preferred CCE SP over ProCoder 2 due to preference. However, CCE SP 2.70 is faster, there's no doubt about that. So the choice is yours.


<><> STEP 1: DVD-RB Pro Installation <><>

Once you've legally purchased DVD-RB Pro and Jdobbs has sent you a "setup" zip file with your "key file" via email. Click on the "setup" to run.

You can either create or don't create a Start Menu folder.
mypix



Create a folder in your hard drive for DVD-RB's "Work Folder", then browse and locate the folder.

mypix



Create a folder in your hard drive for DVD-RB's "OutPut Folder", then browse and locate the folder.
mypix



NOTE: if you have 2 hard drives, then set "OutPut Folder" to another drive, this will run smoother in my opinion.

Here you can remove DTS Audio or Director's Comments. The choice is yours.
mypix



Mode, Encoder ( CCE), then tick on CCE Mode (or your desire encoding engines).
I like to use "One Click Mode" because this automatically does all the jobs for you.
mypix



Mode, Backup Mode (Full Backup) and choose your desire backup mode.
mypix



Mode, Steal Space from Extras, then choose whatever your desire (10%, 25%, 33% or 50%).
mypix



Click on Settings, CCE Settings, CCE SP, Advanced (Experts) Settings
mypix



Slide the bar to the right for more PASSES (or to your desire). The most I used is 3 PASSES because I don't have the latest rig, so 3 is good enough for me.
mypix



Now just click SAVE.

<><> STEP 4: Encoding process using DVD-RB Pro + CCE SP 2.70 <><>

Click on the Folder to browse and locate your movie to be encoded.
mypix



Locate your movie, then click OK.
mypix



This is where DVD-RB Pro is going to put the finished "ready to burn" files here.
mypix



When everything's set, click Backup.
mypix



Now DVD-RB Pro is encoding, so just relax and sit tight.
mypix



Now Phase II ENCODING is completed.
mypix



Now Phase III REBUILD is completed. Overall, it took 149 minutes to finish with 3 PASSES. Not too bad for my old P4, 2.66GHz, I guess she's alright.
mypix



That's it, DVD-RB Pro has successfully encoded and imported the "ready to burn" files into the "Destination Path" folder. Just open up ImgBurn, Nero Burning Rom or your desire burning engine and burn your already encoded files.

Enjoy it!
