I may change it so they all get listed when you enter "Edit Mode". It depends how much of a pain it is.
Thanks for reply. All is ok with super 8.

You talk about "Movie and menu", where can I choose this option?

BD Rebuilder v0.39.04 (beta)

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.39.04). Changes for this release:
Code:
- Improved the MKV output routines.  Now multiple
  audio tracks will be reencoded and/or kept (as 
  selected in the streams list).
- Added MP4 as a containter type for ALTERNATE
  output.  Although previously allowed, it was
  limited to iPod and iPad specs.  A new example
  format is included in the default output list.
  The MP4 container type allows multiple audio
  tracks with multiple channels to be included.
- Audio language flags are now included in MKV
  ALTERNATE output and MP4 ALTERNATE output.
- Modified the DTSX routines so that placeholders
  are no longer necessary.  This eliminates some
  unlikely but possible negative impacts.
- Improved the status updating for certain types
  of actions.
- Corrected an error in which ALTERNATE/MKV output
  could incorrectly report an error and exit when 
  no true error was actually present.
- Fixed issue in which intermediate MKV files may
  (rarely) incorrectly fail due to "warning" exit
  code.
- Added a new option to the ALTERNATE output dialog
  that allows removal of black borders (automatic
  cropping).  This option is not enabled and does
  not apply to DVD output (for obvious reasons).
- Added code to check requirements and prevent
  reencoding when an AC3 source (or its core) does 
  not require processing to meet target specs.
  Note: Some settings such as AUDIO_AMPLIFY, "Use 
  192Kbs for AC3...", and "Use 448Kbs for AC3..." 
  will force reencoding.
- Corrected an issue in which manually blanking or
  unblanking a stream in edit mode was not updating 
  the sizing tables.  As a result, overall output
  sizing would be incorrect and could cause over
  or under sizing.
- Improved function of IVTC.  Also corrected issue
  related ot IVTC on VC-1 sources.
- Added a new prefix for filter editing.  By adding
  the "r:" prefix, BD-RB will add the specified
  filter after the resizing stage (rather than the
  default of before).  Note: If using more than one 
  prefix, the "r:" must be the last in the series.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Encoded "Forrest Gump" during the night. 2 questions/bugs. I told rebuilder to re-encode AC3 sources to 192KB/s, the extras remain at 224KB/s. I realize that the difference is nearly negligible. And perhaps rebuilder sees that the difference is trivial, and not worth the time? I have a feeling you coded it this way?
Second, a few files apparently lost frames.
00117 in particular lost one single frame. Mediainfo would not show me the amount of frames, so I loaded AVS script files into Virtual dub to see just how many frames were lost.
See, I compare the raw bd rip folder, next to the output folder to see just how much difference there is. Windows 7 shows me the running time of the m2ts files. I saw that 00117 lost a second of time. Or more precisely, one single frame. I seem to recall a similar instance happening before, but it was more extreme. Like 10 frames. 1 frame is not the end of the world, but this does seem like a bug.
Something to note, I left "ENABLE_TEST=1" enabled, but I did not use its abilities. I don't see how this could be the culprit, but you're the coder, I am not LOL!

I see there's a new version available. And I noticed you're working on the output size when blanking. Excellent! LOL! Thanks

My next encode is Star Trek V. I see that there is 3+ hrs of extra content. If my math is correct, Encoding/downsizing 224KB/s to 192KB/s, would give me an additional 1.65GB of space, for the main title. Fairly substantial?

Nevermind my last comment. My math is flawed :S

Jdobbs, I sent you what was left in my paypal. Not much, but I have no current purchases that I need to worry about. I felt I owed you something for the last revision. It helped me greatly. Thanks.

I also updated my last post

Because how the m2ts muxing overhead works the final size of a 192 Kbps AC3 track and a 224 ac3 track is the same.

Thank you.
I see you have the new AMD 6-core chip can you maybe post some timings to this thread

Suggestions in this post on what info to provide in the post and you can view my example post at end of thread as well.

I would love to see how fast this processor can complete most BD recodes and what its HD x264 benchmark results are.

With the following thread, and a little math, you should be able to predict just what kind of gain you'll see I've thought about 1090t, but I don't think it'll be worth it to me. I do an encode at night, and an encode before I leave for work. The only thing that would help me any more, MIGHT be 8 core bulldozer. But that sucker is a power hungry freak, to say the least! LOL! Sorry about off topic :S

Test of DTSExpress:

Used v.39.04 to once again make a 25Gb Full Disc backup of "Sourcecode". Unfortunately, when played back on my SONY 360, the results were the same as my efforts with earlier versions of BD-RB - the video portion of the PIP activity displayed properly, but were silent. Considering the less than ordinary multiple PIP activity options and the publisher's heavy duty messing around with this disc's playlists, I'll try a more pedestrian disc containing DTSExpress.

Much appreciated.

A line in the audio avs file "audio=NicDTSSource("00082.track_4352.dts", Channels=2).Amplify(1)
ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))"

Does "Amplify (1) indicate that amplification has been selected? Is that a default setting?

My ini doesn't contain the line "AUDIO_AMPLIFY=n" so can I assume a forced re-encode based upon that parameter will not take place.

An amplification of one means there is no amplification. (1x the original volume). A forced reencode would only take place on a value other than 1. Your log will clearly tell you whether (or not) the audio was reencoded.

Hi Jfcarbel, When I solve the problems with the second pass will be happy to participate.

thanks

Hi!

I was going to use the original (1968) "Planet of the Apes" to test the DTSExpress function in v.39.04, but I can't, because after loading it into BD-RB v.39.04 the main .M2TS file (Over 46Gb) was not listed in the main window.

Is there a way to get around this?

Don't know how that's possible.

I did not see any changes/corrections that addresses DTS Express in BD-RBV03904.
Interesting that the Sony Blu-ray players were the most compatible for AVCHD and Blu-ray backups when BD-RB was first released, but perhaps not anymore!

Has there been any helpful developments that may make BD-25 backups of DTS Express discs compatible with Sony players (and others)?

Can you try it with v0.39.03 and see if it still misses it? I can't think of any changes that might affect that, though.

I'll run some tests.

I just added a hidden option to point to an alternate .WAV file for the "beep". You'll see it in the next release.

Not sure when I'll implement alternate languages. The problem is that I have to go through the entire program and replace static text with variables. That's not a minor task.
