How to use BD-Rebuilder with no compression?

[myckee]

Basically I don't want to re-encode the movie, I only want BD-rebuilder to re-do the audio into regular Dolby Digital instead of TrueHD or whatever.

Is there a quick edit of the .inf I can do to accomplish this? Or is there some other way?

No...not yet.

It's fairly straightforward to use Tsmuxer directly to accomplish what you want to do.

Of course, but you will lose the menu etc and thus will not do what the op is asking.

I'll look at it... maybe a hidden option that demuxes the video rather than encoding. The only time I can think to use this would be if you have a source that is only slightly over 25GB.

Excellent, thank you very much!

jdobbs,

First thank you for your efforts. SD DVDRebuilder is an excellent tool that I use to fix problematic anamorphic disks.

I just would like to post my opinion.

I think you may be underestimating the need for 0 compression.

Many people are looking not to archive on media but HDD so the 25GB limit is a non-factor. Many people were real excited by BD-Rebuilder as a GUI front end for ripping, only be be disappointed that there wasn't a 0 compression option.

Obviously this is not really your intent but it was fairly early with a GUI based software out there.

I for one just got a BD player today and am looking for software to help in the transition from DVD to BD... I know about the command line tools and even the gui front end available (looking for it now, thats how I found this post). But guessing that BD-Rebuilder is even close to your previous work, it would be a tool I personally would love to use for my rips.

I need to transcode audio due to stereo and PC limitations but still would like to keep quality %100.

If you just want to keep the movie on your HDD, and the 25gb limit of BD-25 media isn't an issue.... wouldn't you just rip the movie with AnyDVD-HD and be done with it? You could either rip it to retain BD format or to an ISO for mounting to a virtual drive... whichever you prefer.

[myckee]

I have ripped my movie to my HDD, but my media player, a Western Digital WD TV, can play the ISO, but it can't play TrueHD through the optical output. It can only play regular DTS or DD. So, I need to be able to keep the full quality of the movie and only change the audio.

I hope jdobbs can enable this option for us.

It's pretty easy to do on your own if you're making a movie-only:

1. Demux audio/video with TSMUXER
2. Make an AVISYNTH file that points to it (use one of the BD-RB files as an example)
3. Put this into a .BAT file and run it:

"n:\pathtobd-rb\tools\wavi.exe" "n:\pathto\file.avs" - | "n:\pathtobd-rb\tools\aften.exe" -v 1 -b 640 -readtoeof 1 "n:\pathto\OUTPUT.AC3"

Then use TSMUXER to remux it.

I would probably use this feature to store the files on hdd and play back on a media player like WD TV, which can play Blu-ray video, but only supports Dolby Digital, and save myself some disk space.

Ya thats why I want to have no compression too. I also have one of these beautiful WD TV boxes.

hopefully jdobbs can put it in a new release..unless someone can walk me through tsmuxer. I haven't a clue as to how to use it.

I'm planning on buying a WD TV HD box as well, and this would be ideal; the device will pass DD & DTS through it's optical out (though it won't decode the latter and pipe out analog), so having an option to retain/remux only the core DD or DTS audio (without reencoding the video on my not-so-powerful CPU) would be great for my purposes as my audio receiver can handle the DD & DTS.
