DvdReMake Pro memory usage (Vista x64)

PgcEdit does not handle VOBs. It is basically an IFO editor and does what it does immediately. Comparing DVDRMP to PgcEdit is incorrect. Comparing it to VobBlanker is better, but still not right, since VobBlanker can't do ILVUs or merge discs (but can replace cells and PGCs etc)

Well, of course you have to use the "FixVTS"-Option to strip all unneeded material.

PgcEdit has not all functions of DVDRMP, but it does, what it should be. Strip audio/subtitle-titles, and/or some menu cells. I love it

The point is, that DVDRMP just suck under Vista32/64 regarding the Export-speed and Memory usage.

PgcEdit does not strip audio or subtitles (it can only remove their references from the IFOs). It can remove unwanted cells from the IFOs (after which FixVTS or VobBlanker can clean up).

To strip audio or subtitle streams, you will need another application.

Make your point about memory usage, by all means, but fgs, stop talking about things you do not know.

Yes, I KNOW *damnit* Once again, for this you have to use third-party-tools via PGCedit-menu.

I'm glad that you know these things. It's just you didn't express them correctly or make valid comparisons.

PgcEdit's version 9 will have some very snappy new features.

I am a heavy user of DVDRemake Pro and use the following system:
Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6850 3GHz 1333MHz 4MB LGA775 CPU
- AENEON / SUPER TALENT 8GB DDR2 800MHZ PC-6400 (4 X 2GB)

And have no problems exporting. It could be a combination of several things some of which you may try:

1) buy more memory (Vista 64 can support 8GB RAM; Vista 32 cannot)
2) increase the amount of virtual memory on your machine (your page file);
3) load your paging file onto a different drive than that being used to store/edit your video with DVDRemake

I tried an experiment last week. I've switched over to Apple computers and currently use a Mac Pro (see my sig for specs). But I still use Windows (XP 32-bit and Vista x64) both virtually and through dual booting. The computer has 10 gigs of ram and Vista x64 sees all 10 gigs. I don't know if it can *access* it all, but it can see it. I knew about DVD ReMake's memory leak, but I wanted to see just how much it would use during an export. I've been reading about others' problems with only 4 gigs of ram in their computers, so I was curious to find out what happens with 2.5 times the available ram.

When I started the export, with no other programs running, it was sitting at 1.7 gigs. When the export was finished, it was at 8 gigs . For a second there, I thought it was actually going to chew through all 10 gigs. As others have stated, it won't release that ram until I quit the program, at which time it immediately drops back down to 1.7 GB. And yes, the export still took ~20 minutes.

It's unfortunate that the program has this issue, but make no mistake: I still use it and I have no regrets about spending my money on it. I think it's the best and most user-friendly click-and-edit DVD editing software out there and I'll continue to support Dimad and his efforts. I have full confidence that the issue will be addressed.

Now...about that Blu-Ray ReMake .

Me too, but I suspect, that DimadSoft is dead (at least it seems to be).
This bug is right know known since more than 1 year, and still nothing happened.

I would even pay for a x64-Version. Twice as much, if necessary. I am still waiting for a new Version.

@DimadSoft
Are you still alive? Are you working on a new Version or is DVDremake really dead? Would be nice, if we can hear some news form you.

A friend of mine told me, that he wrote DimadSoft an eMail and the confirmed, that they wont release any new version. Well, no real news, if you look to their changelog
Therefore, DimadSoft is dead.
Just switch to PgcEdit or ask Dimadsoft if they could make their "DvdRemake" Open-Source. Then the Community make the necessary changes themselves (no waiting for some years *lol*).

Your head is in the right direction with your experiment, however, are we sure it is valid to conclude there is a "memory leak" or if this "memory leak" is a problem?

If no other application is running on your machine, why is it "necessarily" a bad thing that it use all the available memory to perform its work? I would think it might be a good thing since it would likely do less paging, fill its I/O buffers more allowing it to get its work done faster. When I run Firefox (which I have noticed somehow manages to use a lot of memory and may have a real leak problem), I also run DVDRemake, Pegasys TMPGenc XPress 4, and perhaps several other apps as well. With 8GB or ram, I don't really see a performance annoying slowdown and am rather glad I don't have to single task.

Hello, everyone. Before I installed Vista 64, I also treated my rig to two matched pairs of Barracuda 2Gb ram.
Gotta tell you that DVDReMake ( the ordinary version ) just breezes through any editing job it's handed.
Maybe this is a q+d solution to any probs.
See you all later, then.

rejoice! after spending some quality time with my debugger i found the solution to this problem. to fix dvdremake 3.6.3, open the .exe in a hex editor and search for this pattern, which should only exist once in the file:
and patch it comme ça
presto, no more memory issues.
you may have to use an "unofficial" release should the retail version be packed, i'm not sure.

Tu es un génie, baguette!


It works like a charm!

What a difference one single little bit can make.

Thanks!!

Damn it & holy shit, it works (legit version + Vista64)!!
Many thanks for this!

Do you have also an idea to fix the lame write-speed while exporting a DVD? I just made a test:

DVD export size: 5206.38 Mb
Duration: 18:17 min.

It is really terrible slow.

If you are open to a non-lame solution, I have been using Imgburn and Verbatim DVD+R DL for years (and frequently) and have found those two to produce the best quality (for DL), reliability and performance. Plus Imgburn has numerous options you can tweak to tailor to your specific needs.

Sorry, but you misunderstood me. My fault.

I mean the export-speed of DVDremake. It is pretty slow, to export a reauthered DVD back to HDD. Test see above.

Sorry for the trouble.

regards

Caramba!! It really works!!!

You can find the string on line AFA2E.

Wowee baguette, your fix seems to be working well on my Vista Ux64 rig too. Going to try on Win 7b Ux64 soon. Unbelievable!

Thanks.

Found time to do a 2 DVD merge today, baguette's fix looks like it is good on Win 7b Ux64 too.

Hi

Can anyone help me with DvdReMake Pro l used UltraEdit-32 to change the code 00000010f6 to 00000000f6 but l dont know how to patch it comme ça all l could do was save it, but on my windows xp pro machine l can use dvd shrink and DvdReMake Pro together no problems but on my vista machine l can only use one at a time cause DvdReMake Pro uses most of the cpu and memory can some please help me step by step on how to change the exe or can someone send me a patched exe please.

thank u for ur time Eagle .

you already patched it, there's nothing else to do...

Thx l thought l had not done it right as on the vista machine it still hogs the cpu then on my xp machine.
