AQE+DVD-RB: problem with enable QMATOpt (AQM)

[ora-600]

Hi,

I am using (actually trying to use) DVD-RB Pro v1.11.0 with AutoQMatenc 0.34.0.1.
It works fine with enable QMATOpt (AQM) deselected.
If I enable QMATOpt (AQM) I always get errors.

Here is the rebuilder log

I can call dctune2.0.exe from any dos-box so it must be in the path, doesn't it?

DVD-RB works fine on the files with HC and CCE.

Actually I can't get it to work with any dvd.  I must have messed something up during setup? I used the installer and applied the beta later.

If I understand it correctly, using the AQE-installer should put the AQE path into the registry? I tried to find it but I could not...

Anything I can do to find the problem?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

[ora-600]

I'm getting more and more confused...

The .avs file is playable and I've encoded it in HCenc.

It also gets encoded using AutoQMatEnc GUI, even with QMATOpt enabled....

Might this be an DVD-RB Pro issue?

[ora-600]

I tried the One Pass VBR Option with QMatOpt enabled and it works fine.
Up comes a dos box and it says like...

Switching OPV off and and preparing, encoding again I get the error.
A dos box pops up and it stops and collapses at I0___ ...

This is the same on any source. Using OPV ist says "Fast QMatOp enabled."

I have upgraded to DVR-RB Pro 1.12.1, no change.

[SAPSTAR]

I'll look at it...Sorry if I'm a bit late...I'm so busy in the real life that's crazy....I hope to be back soon!

[SAPSTAR]

Next week things should calm down...so I will be back, this coming weekend I'll have an eye on your pb!

[ora-600]

Thanks in advance.

[SAPSTAR]

Hmmm several things to mention :

1- Your movie doesn't need to be reencoded (it's already a DVD5) ?!
2- Could you try with the latest version of DVDRB, the version you are using maybe the source of the pb.
3- Be sure to install AQE with the installer and then update it with the "Beta" versions.....

Let me know if it solved your pb.

[ora-600]

Sorry, but no progress.

1) That's true. But I just posted this log as an example, it's the same with every movie.
2) I am currently using v1.12.1, no change
3) I am sure I did it this way. Is there any way to verify? (like check a certain registry key)

Another thing I have observed.
When generating this error, 3 files appeared in c:\
Intra0_3692.ppm
Intra0_764.ppm
Intra0_2336.ppm
all with a size of 1.216 kb.
The conten is the same.

In these files is the following data repeatedly

P6

There is plenty of space (250 MB), but what makes AQE write here? This is my bootloader partition...

[dirio49]

Those files get deleted when aqe is done.
those are for the autogeneration of the matrix
