BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

On movies that have only one main video file, I have had pretty good luck with playing on my PS3. When I used version 0.17.13 I simply made a Movie Only copy, for a BD-9 disc, using normal priority and high quality settings. If the main audio file was LPCM, I deselected it and used the AC3 audio file instead. Once BD-Rebuilder got finished, I removed the AUXDATA folder from the BDMV folder and burned the disc with ImgBurn making sure to use UDF 2.5 output.

These same discs worked just fine in my Samsung BD-P2500 player, as well.

When 0.18.04 was released, I started using the "Stricter compliance for AVCHD" setting and didn't have to manually remove the AUXDATA folder anymore, but had a few movies that didn't want to cooperate, so I reprocessed them with 0.17.13 and they worked fine. I then tried them without the "Stricter compliance for AVCHD" setting and manually removed the AUXDATA folder and they also worked... I'm not sure what the deal is with that.. probably just a fluke on the failed ones.

I haven't had any luck with full movies or "Movie Only" jobs that have multiple .m2ts files unless I burn to a 25gb BD-RE. I'm not sure why. I've decided to leave those movies alone until we get further down the line with program updates.

So far as FFDShow settings... I use the default settings, with the exception that I enabled mpeg2, which is disabled by default. I also made sure AviSynth was enabled, but don't remember if it was or not as the default setting.

I use nothing but Verbatim DL media for my BD-9 burns and U se a Samsung SH-S202G and Samsung SH-223F for burning. I use an LG GGW-H20L for the original rip to hard drive with AnyDVD-HD. I don't try to process from the original disc, and I don't try doing it from an .ISO mounted to a virtual drive.

Hopefully, this will help some PS3 owners.

Can you expand on the AviSynth setting in ffdshow. Were is it specifically and whayt it should be set too.

Thanks..

[MikeyBK]

AVISYNTH should be enabled by default when you install ffdshow..... you just gotta have AVISYNTH installed on your PC that's all.
Only things I had to manually enable in ffdshow was mpeg2 and VC-1.

Not sure if JD wants to add more info to that.... but that's how I have it set and it's been pretty much all successful since, especially now that 0.18.07 addresses the slight audio out of sync issue on seamless branching Blurays.

The owners manual for your player does not list AVCHD compatibility.

Thanks alluringreality. I will check that. I hope it can work for me without that option checked as it worked well in initial version 0.17.13.

Can't find my log.


I'm going back to version 0.17.13 tonight using the same movie & setup to see if there are any issues.

[bhosty]

I also have stuttering & corruption on version 0.18 movie-only encodes played back on my ps3 - going back to 0.17.13 fixes all the problems...

[MikeyBK]

I can also now confirm that the two BDs I did with 0.18.07 (X-Files & Mummy 3) skips every couple seconds on my daughters' PS3 as well.... not sure what was changed in version 0.18.07 that is causing this, but did not have the Strict AVCHD checked, and never had any problems for movie only BD-9s prior to this???
I don't remember if I tested any BD-9s that I did with 0.18.04.... but 0.17.13 was definitely not a problem for the PS3.

[MikeyBK]

Max Payne, which I did with 0.18.04 is also skipping every couple seconds on her PS3....
All BD-9s play perfectly on my Sony BDP-BX1 player......
hmmmm, wonder what may have caused it JD??
Wonder if this is related to the AUXDATA folder issue?? It isn't on any other BD-9s prior to 0.18??

Im getting no audio on my conversions, brilliant video though, tried 4 different movies all versions of BD RB only success ive had was with the 1st version and Kill Bill Volume 1 when it was released.

since using the .18.07 I have been getting skipping every 2-3 seconds. It stops if you rewind/ff but starts again after the video has played for 2-3 seconds.

Odd .17 version works well.

example : cars UK blu ray version .18.07 skips every 2 seconds
version .17.04 absolutely fine.

This is all on a uk ps3

I Have Successfully Encoded Pirates Of The Caribbean World's End (Australia-B) To BD-25 Using V 18.07 However I Did Notices That The Output Was Undersized Target Was BD-25
(23,000MB) Output Was (22,000MB) I Only Mention This Becuase As We All Know The More Space You Can Chew The Better The Quality... Also I Noticed Someone Else Asked For A Method Of Encoding Quicker And You Gave Them A Command To Add The Ini File... Is There A Command That Can Be Added That Will Tell BD-RB To Remux The Original Audio Tracks Instead Of Encoding Them (DTS-HD For Example) P.S. I Attached The Zip For World's End Setup Files... And Once Again For Everything!

Hi JDobbs,

Pirates Of The Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl (UK region B) encoded fine using v18.07. I had a similar result with the sizing. The final size was 22GB, with 23GB set as output size.

Also encoded Casino Royale (region free) ok with v18.07, however again the output was under size (21.8GB using target size of 23GB).

Let me know if you need the logs.

On both discs the uncompressed LPCM audio was converted to Dolby successfully.

On a side note, I'm with ds9delta in being curious if there is any simple way to keep the original HD audio tracks, without you having to write the function into the software at this time?

This isn't simple ( ), but i'm gonna try this temp solution...

1) Use tsMuxeR to demux the HD audio track. You can then see the HD audio file size.

2) Use BD-RB to re-encode using a custom output size of 23GB, minus the HD audio file size (i.e. 19GB, allowing for 4GB of HD audio).

3) Use tsMuxeR to mux the original HD audio (from step 1) into the BD-RB re-encoded main M2TS file, replacing the re-encoded Dolby/DTS audio. Save as a new M2TS file, giving you an M2TS of the same name containing the re-encoded video from BD-RB, the original HD audio, plus any other audio tracks and subs).

4) Delete and replace the BD-RB re-encoded main M2TS file with the new M2TS file from step 3.

Thanks

Just Thought I Should Let You Know When The First Beta Of BD-Rebuilder Was Around I Tried Using TSmuxer & Remux Etc.. To Personally Remux The HD Audio Into The New "Shrank" Copy And Ran Into Two Problems First Of... No Sound On Any Playback Device.. Discovered That Even Though I Had Remuxed The HD Audio In The Data Files Created By BDRB Still Indicated AC3 So No Playback Device Would Play Sound Since I Had Replaced The AC3 With The DTS-HD Solution BD-Edit I Was Able To Change The Data Files From AC3 To Indicate DTS-HD Sound Worked Again! Second Problem All Chapter Points Were Haywire!! Eg. On One Disc Chap1(Play Movie) Began The Movie At 5mins 32secs And End Movie Cut 3/4 Through No Chapter Point Was Were It Belonged! I Have Yet To Find The Solution Unless BDRB Can Keep The HD For Us.

And Again Jdobbs For The Great Work!

hmmmm, wonder what may have caused it JD??
Wonder if this is related to the AUXDATA folder issue?? It isn't on any other BD-9s prior to 0.18??

No. AUXDATA and empty folders erased with Strictly AVCHD option only have to do with player compatibility, so it either play or not play.

In a different thread, Jdobbs mentioned that he re-coded the "only movie" process from 0.17.13 to 0.18.4 so I think something happened then in the process. That is why PS3 is now skipping as many are mentioning and Denon BD-3800 is not even playing. I have both Denon/PS3 and both was working with v0.17.13 movie only / DVD-5 & DVD-9. Full movie mode is always working good in Denon nor PS3.

I've just done Master and Commander as both bd-25 and bd-9 (full disc) and both have very bad breakups and pixelation. Using version 18.7 and can confirm that original rip on HDD is fine.

Hey ds9delta,

I believe there were issues with the chapter points in earlier versions but jdobbs has sorted now.

Thanks for the tip about BD-Edit. I'll have crack with v18.07 and let you know how i got on.

Cheers

Hello Again,

I was happy to see the LPCM bug I reported earlier as being FIXED but there's still a glitch...perhaps with the GUI.
When I double-click the LPCM track to give it a red X, it encodes it anyway (even though there's an AC3 track right after it). I learned long ago that an AC3 2nd track following an LPCM is simply a 6 channel remix and the LPCM track can be trashed (until someone figures out how to encode it into a better 8 channel format). One can verify this by comparing the size of the AC3 encoded LPCM and the 2nd AC3 tracks...they're identical!

Great job jdobbs,

KC

[rainfellow]

So what do I need to post since I can't seem to get it to NOT error out when trying to back up a Blu-Ray?? I want to help as much as I can, but I see no "post this" messages, or at least from what I've seen.

Thanks!

Hi Jdobbs,

Did some more testing of Casino Royale last night and it appears there are a few small issues.

- The menu system has no audio. This may be because i didn't include all audio.

- The video that play in the background of the menu system hangs after about 5 seconds.

- After you select the movie to play from the menu, just before and just after the copyright warning message plays, the image goes a light shade of grey. The grey screen last maybe 5 seconds.

v18.07 was used.

I'll give it another try with all audio tracks included and let you have my log files.

Thanks

Hey guys, I just thought of an idea, since I had a couple BD-9s that was having skipping issues on PS3s, I decided to split the 7.3 GB m2ts file into two (using HDBDSplitGUI), then remuxed into a two part Bluray, then burned them to two single layer DVD+Rs.... beats putting a test remux onto a Dual Layer only to find out it still has skipping issues on a PS3...

This will see if it's an encoding problem with version 0.18.07 for the PS3s, or a remuxing error if the remux fixes the every 2 to 3 second skipping.
