Do a search. I've talked about it here. It is faster on some systems and slower on others. Quality is pretty much the same. The real advantage of LAVF is that is bypasses FFDSHOW, HAALI, and AVISYNTH. Since most of my reported issues are from people who misconfigure those apps, using LAVF gets around some issues. So I had high hopes for it. But unfortunately there a lots of things that can't be done with LAVF and BD-RB has to automatically revert when it encounters them...

jdobbs, will you have to change the x264 command line in the next version?
Code:
r1936 Improve Blu-ray compliance Use dec_ref_pic_marking SEIs to repeat B-ref referencing information. Don't allow B-frames to reference frames outside their minigop. r1935 Consolidate Blu-ray hacks into --bluray-compat This option is now required for Blu-ray compatibility. --open-gop bluray is now gone (using bluray-compat and open-gop implies a Blu-ray compatible open-gop). This option doesn't automatically enforce every aspect of Blu-ray compatibility (e.g. resolution, framerate, level, etc). |

--b-pyramid strict is not only "blu-ray" option so stay as is. And --bluray-compat is now mandatory, other hacks described here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...61#post1492261

By the way... the changes you are referencing were only posted on X264.nl today -- I recommend you NEVER use a version other than the one that is included in the zip for BD-RB. I have a series of tests I run before including any new software -- BD-RB v0.37.07 should be used with X264 r1924. Last edited by jdobbs; 15th April 2011 at 01:40. |

Gotcha. No worries, I'm interested in max stability, and actually helping progress the beta, eliminate bugs, etc--wouldn't want to cause you more headache than I already do.
My comment was off-topic, I was just asking a general x264 question, and should have searched instead: sorry. I'll try to stay on-target. |

MKV Question
this may sound like a dumb question, but does setting and increasing the target size of an MKV container keeping audio intact and or AC3 DD5.1 increase video quality? I have been trying to compare DVD9 to a 10GB MKV container with DTS Audio intact, but the DVD9 setting seems to come out better. I maybe wrong, but was wondering if someone had a little insight. Awesome program, I have been using a while finally getting around to registering to the forum =) Trying to get the best video quality around a DVD9 size.

As for the audio -- typically using DD5.1 will use less space than DTS, so yes the video would probably look slightly better with DD 5.1. If you want the best quality I would recommend using DD5.1 @ 640Kbs for output. Others may argue the point -- but in my opinion DD5.1 at that bitrate is indistinguishable from uncompressed audio (and all the tests done by audio engineers agree). As for which is better... six of one and a half dozen of the other. It really doesn't matter which one you choose because it only takes about 5 minutes to switch between the two with the right software. Last edited by jdobbs; 15th April 2011 at 14:23. |

The good news is that I can fix it for movie-only mode for the next release. The IGS is never needed then. I can also add a hidden option that allows a full encode to reencode despite the IGS -- the downside to that is that while you can be sure the film will always play perfectly, you never know which of the special feature will be hampered (but something will). I guess I'm going have light a fire under myself for that code the reintegrates DTS-Express and IGS. I put it aside after a couple of weeks of frustrating results.

Code:
February 7th, 2011 - v0.37.4 - Inserted temporary code to prevent streams that contain IGS from being processed. Since these are normally menus and by nature are small, they will be kept intact. This should prevent the rare "Menu without buttons" issue until IGS reintegration routines are completed. |

@jdobbs: thx for getting back to me on that. Please add that hidden switch till you manage to solve it. The reason is that i never do movie-only backups, only full disc ones. Guess there's always 1 disc that has to be an outsider like with everything in the real world. Something or someone's gotta be different then the rest

Definitely pays to check check and recheck before posting to this thread. I was almost convinced that I had either a bad rip, or encode problem. Or even still, that it was a result of a new setting(Use Internal LAVF) I've never used before. But it turns out that Totalmedia theatre v 3.0.1.120 has a problem rendering the Harry Potter 7 Pt1 BD Menu(Even the preprocessed files). The menu stutters rather substantially. I was gonna try Powerdvd but it wants me to upgrade to a new version. So I burned the Bd rebuilder Output. My current standalone, Samsung BD-p1590 is being rather picky with my BD-R discs as of late. But I only needed it to run for a few minutes, while I checked the menu playback. It played flawlessly. I wonder why the menu plays erratically, while the main movie is fine in arcsofts player. Weird....
I will definitely remain thorough in the future. It's actually pretty rare Rebuilder causes trouble.... |

Hello,
Just finished compressing Heartbreak Ridge (BD) to 720P and 1080P. The audio is out of sync on both. I would say by about half a second. Enough to be noticeable. BDRebuilder is set to output 448 AC3. I'm selecting the DTS HD audio track (English). Tried it 3 times now. Same result. Played the original BD structure back through the same player and the audio is fine. ----------------------- [04:08:15] BD Rebuilder v0.37.06 (beta) - Source: HEARTBREAK_RIDGE - Input BD size: 30.67 GB - Approximate total content: [02:09:56.830] - Target BD size: 7.84 GB - Windows Version: 5.1 [2600] - MOVIE-ONLY mode enabled - RESIZE 1080p to 720p enabled - Quality: High Quality (Default), Two Pass - Audio Settings: AC3=1 DTS=1 HD=0 Kbs=448 [04:08:15] PHASE ONE, Encoding - [04:08:15] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00037] - [04:35:50] Reencoding: VID_00037 (1 of 1) - [04:35:50] Collecting video information - Source Video: VC-1, 1920x1080 - Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 186,937 frames - Convert: 1280x720, 23.976fps, 186,937 frames - Bitrate: 7,510 Kbs - [04:35:50] Reencoding: VID_00037, Pass 1 of 2 - [06:13:08] Reencoding: VID_00037, Pass 2 of 2 - [09:25:02] Video Encode complete - [09:25:02] Reencoding audio tracks (if req'd) - [09:29:40] Multiplexing M2TS [09:34:42]PHASE ONE complete [09:34:42]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started - [09:34:42] Rebuilding AVCHD file Structure [09:39:49] - Encode and Rebuild complete - WORKFILES folder removed.
