BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[ggtop]

Hi,

first of all many thanks to jdobbs for this fabolous piece of software.
I have a question regarding alternate output:
I would like to end up with an mp4 file containing AAC stereo and AC3. I think I'm fine with preset "iPad 2+/iPhone 4s+, 1920x1080, 160Kbs AAC" and want to mux the already extracted AC3 track into the file. I had hoped to find that command in "LASTCMD.txt" but there I only could find the x264 commandline.
Could you please give me a hint how to use the already existing input files such as audio, video & chapters for MP4Box.

I found a cosmetic issue: If you disable an active subtitle track, after turning the subtile on using right click, with double clicking, the letter most right is removed.
Example:
PGS_005, German [FORCED_ON] turns to PGS_005, Germa
PGS_005, Germa [FORCED_ON] turns to PGS_005, Germ
and so on

Another question: As I'm not a native English speaker I would like to keep the full German subtitles for some extras (there are no forced ones). Maybe it could be possible to add another entry on right click to hard-code them.

Many thanks in advance for your feedback

You could do this:

c:\path\to\bd_rebuilder\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe -mpeg4 -add current.mp4 -add newaudio.ac3:language=eng -new newoutput.mp4

current.mp4 is the output from BD Rebuilder, newaudio.ac3 is the new AC3 stream you want to add, change "eng" the the language that is appropriate (probably deu).

I just tested the cosmetic bug... yep it does it. I'll fix it for the next release.

As for "Another Question", I assume you mean hard-code them into a full disc backup. I'll have to think about that. It would require that you install SupTitle separately (as is necessary with hardcoded subs in ALTERNATE output).

Hi jdobbs,

thank you for the suggestion, I will try it when I'm at home.

My question was regarding alternate output as well.
I have a German subtitle stream without forced subtitles but want to include these into the final MP4 or MKV.

I tried to add lines

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SupTitle.dll")
SupTitle("C:\USERS\xxx\VIDEOS\BD_RB_WORK3\WORKFILES\00045.track_4612.sup")

right after extraction but each time I restart the encoding the avs file is recreated and my changes are gone.

I don't think hardcoding in a BD structure make sense as BD structures work with PGS anyway.

My player (Panasonic BDT220) seems to be picky. It doesn't Play MKV with muxed subs (ZLIB compression makes no difference).

For ALTERNATE output, just enable Suptitle() in the SETUP dialog, and set the preferred language (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT) and BD-RB will do it for you.

Mmh, call me blind, but the only thing related to SUBs seems to be FORCED_SUB_LANG which I already set to DEU;GER;

From what I have read this setting will let BDRB output forced subs into a new sub track which will be hardcoded which is what I need for all subs and not only forced subs :-)

[jdobbs]

Click on the "Settings" menu item, then select "Setup". You'll see it in the "General Encoder Options" section on the lower-right. Then just select a subtitle from the streams list that you want forced on.

[Edit]Whoops. That's not working... for now just add your filters:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SupTitle.dll")
SupTitle("C:\USERS\xxx\VIDEOS\BD_RB_WORK3\WORKFILES\00045.track_4612.sup")

But you have to add them by clicking on "Use AVS filters during encoding" from the SETUP dialog.

[Edit again] I've changed the code for the next release so the instructions above will work.

Is there anything the User has to install to get Suptitle() to work? Is just setting the language and enabling it in Setup all that is required to burn in forced subtitles?

[jdobbs]

You just have to download suptitle and store it somewhere -- as it has a rule that it can't be redistributed with other software. I put it in the BD Rebuilder tools folder, but it really doesn't matter where -- the AVISYNTH plug-in folder makes it available for other software. Within BD-RB you will have to navigate to the DLL the first time you try to select it in order to establish a path to it.

As I mentioned above, it is currently only working for forced subtitles (forced within the stream) unless you add the filters.

Thank you for looking into this
The downside when using "Use AVS filters during encoding" is that the source is rescanned after saving the settings and therefore I have to redo the settings (picking playlist and so on). The "first pass" is to demux the stream and to look for the proper PGS PID.

You mean that marking a subtitle stream as [FORCED ON] will fully hardcode the stream and override FORCED_SUB_LANG in a future/next version.
If you want to me to test this in advance please let me know.

Thanks again

I'll send you an interim test version...

Checked, tested & confirmed. Works beautifully

Hi,

just tested adding the already existing AC3 file into the mp4 file:

mp4box -mpeg4 -add MyFile.mp4 -add "MyFile.ac3"#audio:name=WhatYouLike:lang=<LANG ID> -new NewFile.mp4

works.

Full 3D to 25GB doesn't work. Throws random file sizes all the time. It's a shame this program is still in beta stage.

[Ch3vr0n]

Works perfectly here. Might help if you provide an encode log and more info as to what you call 'random file sizes'.

Far too vague. Need more to go on. 90% of the time, I have zero issues. Probably closer to 95%
Do you mean the finished output size? E.g. 21GB, and then 22.5GB? While that's somewhat considerable in gig-age, by proportion, the difference is very small.

Shame on you! Show a little respect for jdobbs. He (she) works hard on BD-RB. And getting zero donations since Paypal blocked it.

+1. I agree.

[worknstiff]

+2. I agree. Show a little respect for jdobbs.

Hell, I do all my disks at 23gb, and I have noticed it's not an exact measurement when you choose a custom size also. But what do you expect when you are dealing with such a wide range of variables, like how complex the scenes are and how many extras you blank and don't even get me started on how lossless HD audio file sizes are all over the place. Worse case scenario, I just delete the BD_RB encode and adjust the custom size up or down with an educated guess. I have had some disks take 4 tries to get it right, BUT I don't blame BD_Rebuilder and certainly don't call it a "beta" program. Good god DRKPSYD, I've wasted a good amount of money on a lot of other programs that didn't do half of what this one does for free. Thanks, jdobbs

Why paypal blocked donations? This software is useless if disc content has not been decrypted. I do not see any problem here.
