Also just for a test I tried to re-build CASINO ROYALE and it worked fine. It worked fine before so I thought if I did mess up the settings then CASINO ROYALE wont work this time but it worked FINE

Just something to think about.

Is it an AVC source like the one that failed? I'd guess not. That would mean it is using an entirely different CODEC, so one might work while the other might not.

Casino Royale is listed as MPEG-4 (AVC). No doubt there is another codec interfering as MPEG-4 (AVC) is perhaps the least troublesome to reencode.

Yea DIE ANOTHER DAY is MPEG-4 AVC and as mentioned above CASINO ROYALE is also MPEG-4 AVC. Which would make sense since both BOND movies come from MGM. But as I mentioned before CASINO ROYALE WORKS FINE!

I have done Die Another Day R1 to BD-25 full backup, with no problem.

k thanks. I will return the movie and buy a new one. See if the new disc works OK. Just out of curiosity can you post your settings you used to backup Die Another Day please.

thanks

If bd rebuilder is anything like Dvd rebuilder, then it doesn't like dirty files. By dirty, I mean any imperfections in the files/code, that rebuilder doesn't like. Thankfully, my iHES108 Bd drive, doesn't do TOO poor a job LOL! It does have a tendency of introducing minor artifacting. But it hasn't done it since the firmware upgrade. Could be coincidence. Time will tell...

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new release of BD-RB (v0.37.08). Changes for this version are:

- Corrected an issue in which resizing a source
  from 480i/29.97 to 720p would result in an 
  TSMUXER "Non standard fps value" error during 
  the remuxing.
- Developed new routines so resizing of subtitle
  streams is now done by BD-RB (rather than via
  TSMUMXER).  This corrects several possible
  issues associated with resizing PGS streams.
- Corrected an issue in which opening a feature
  in movie-only mode that contains IGS in the
  main-movie stream could result in a "Selected
  Source is not BD Format" error.
- Rebuilt the algorithms for checking subtitle
  sources. This should eliminate the TSMUXER 
  error "Unexpected byte" and failure that could 
  sometimes occur while extracting audio/subs and
  resizing to 720p.
- Corrected an issue in movie-only mode in which
  "forced" subtitle (e.g. when foreign languages
  are spoken) were not supported during resizing.
- Added support for subtitles when outputting to
  ALTERNATE/DVD.  Note that the conversion of
  the graphics and integration into the output
  stream adds approx 2 minutes to the overall job
  for each subtitle kept, so it is recommended 
  you only select the  subtitles you really want.
- Add a new hidden option "DVD_SUB_BACKGROUND".
  It lets you select the type of background you'd
  like for DVD output (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT).
- Add a new hidden option "DVD_SUB_COLOR". It lets 
  you select the subtitle foreground color you'd 
  like for DVD output (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
  latest release (r1937).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to 
  the latest release (r1936).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Thanks for the new release.

Much appreciated. Writing the SUP/PGS handling routines turned out to be a little more work than I expected -- but they work well now. No more "Unexpected byte" errors from TSMUXER when resizing now. It also made it possible for me to automatically include subs in DVD output and fix the "forced subs disappearing" problem from TSMUXER.

Many thanks jdobbs

Thank you very much for the update v0.37.08
That corrected my Harry Potter 5 problem, with not being BD Format

Hmm... I meant to put in a hidden option to allow overlooking IGS for full backups too -- but forgot. I'll get that in on the next release.

Great work! BD-Rebuilder has definitely come a long way since the first time I used it (which it didn't work for me at that time). I would LOVE to see a program removal feature added to this tool so that I can remove unwanted chains from the final result (like annoying advertisements & such). In fact, I'd be glad to even pay for such a feature. That's how annoying those things are to me. I was unable to find a feature request area so I apologize for this post being in the wrong place.

The feature request thread is the next one after this one in the sub-forum list...

I use Clown_BD BD Copier to eliminate the ads, trailers, warnings, etc. It can be a little tedious, but effective.

The bug is: when the feature "play movie with focus points" is ON and the disc icon appears on the left corner, after press the enter button (to view the behind the scenes stuff of that scene) is played the BTS of another scene...

ie: when i press the enter button in the movie when the joker detonates the hospital a BTS of how they filmed IMAX scenes will play.

I have a question related to this kind of issues with bd-rb, if i do a backup in fastest mode and the problem is solved, can i replace the files .mpls or .clpi in the highest quality backup? or this won´t work at all, due to the different sizes of the outputs?

Thanks for the new version!! seems like the problem with the Black hawk down will be solved in the next release, in the previous builds i see the error you mentioned in the changelog:

- Corrected an issue in which opening a feature
in movie-only mode that contains IGS in the
main-movie stream could result in a "Selected
Source is not BD Format" error.

Now i can do the movie-only backup, but i want to do the full-backup.

a question: What is IGS?

Thank you for the latest update v0.37.08.
I did a first test with the new subs feature on Alternate PAL DVD. The subtitles flash up for the duration of 1 frame or so only, i.e. something with the display time seems to be wrong.
The time stamps of the extracted sup from the original m2ts appear to be correct and the subtitle displays correctly for the BD.
I will occasionally try with another disc.

Hmmm... I've done a lot of testing -- and the subs in my tests are perfectly synced and last for the correct period. All the tests have been with NTSC, but that really shouldn't make a difference. If you look in the XML files for each sub, you should be able to see the start and stop times. Let me know if you find anything interesting.

Here an excerpt from the XML.
Start and stop times are about identical ....

<spu yoffset="514" xoffset="216" transparent="101010" image="C:\TEMP\BD REBUILDER\WORKFILES\DVDSUBS\4608_00634.png" end="00:50:31.71" start="00:50:31.70"/> 
<spu yoffset="520" xoffset="258" transparent="101010" image="C:\TEMP\BD REBUILDER\WORKFILES\DVDSUBS\4608_00635.png" end="00:50:35.79" start="00:50:35.78"/> 
<spu yoffset="514" xoffset="194" transparent="101010" image="C:\TEMP\BD REBUILDER\WORKFILES\DVDSUBS\4608_00636.png" end="00:50:38.19" start="00:50:38.18"/> 
<spu yoffset="514" xoffset="174" transparent="101010" image="C:\TEMP\BD REBUILDER\WORKFILES\DVDSUBS\4608_00637.png" end="00:50:40.03" start="00:50:40.02"/>

The start times are correct, the problem is with the end times.
Should perhaps the milliseconds be a 3 digit number?
