I know what you mean, done a lot of touring myself working as a stage crew, eat-work-sleep-travel-eat-work-sleep...
I'm retired now, and summer is just around the corner, thank goodness!

Will make a donation to your much appreciated BD-RB project!

That pretty much sums it up. I'm sitting here right now, half-asleep, thinking about that 4:00am wakeup tomorrow.

It's none of my business but what do you do in real life? Feel free to ignore this btw.

Given his expertise (Jealous), I'm sure it's some kind of computer consultant work. Networking, or what not. One day!

jdobbs, I'm going to try the new version of x264, Do I just copy and paste the new one over the old one? If so I noticed in the Bdrebuilder program that the x264 application has no .exe after it.

Either it's been renamed, or windows doesn't allow you to see the file extensions. You can change that

@busch42

You must have "Hide extensions to known file types" enabled in Windows Explorer's folder options. BD-RB uses the .EXE extension.

Thanks jdobbs, I tried the new version of x264 and this time I got to 17.40%, that's futher then before, I'm doing the bluray movie of Contraband, I don't think it's BDrebuilder's fault because if it was it wouldn't work from the beginning at least you would think that, At least the program starts then just comes up x264 has stopped working.

Once again:

If I remember correctly, if you want to do a "Movie-only" of this disc, you have to first remove what appears to be a secondary video from 00023.m2ts. Try it.

Try doing a "FULL DISC" copy using the same rip

Thanks setarip_old, I'm getting to that, I just tried to do a full movie and got to 44.60%, That's as far as I ever got, I'm getting closer LOL. What program or how do you remove the secondary video from the first?

(For "movie-only) you can use tsMuxeR.

1) Create a folder named "Movie_Only_Test" (or anything else you may prefer)

2) Load 00023.m2ts into tsMuxeR.

3)UNcheck the 720x480 video (tsMuxeR will have already eliminated the related DTSExpress audio)

4) Select "Blu-ray disc" from the tabs at the BOTTOM of the tsMuxeR window

5) Browse to "Movie_Only_Test"

6) Click on "Start muxing"

7) If successful, load the "Movie_Only_Test" into BD Rebuilder and process as a "movie only".

Thanks alot setarip_old, tsMuxeR worked great, I'm now running BDrebuilder and will let you know how I make out, There is just one question, There is a site I go to for a guide to show you how to use BDrebuilder and in the settings under Audio Encoding Options he doesn't the box checked that says Keep HD Audio for BD25/ Alternate Intact, But there is some people that say you should have that checked, What is your's and jdobbs opinion? Thanks.

@busch42

I don't mean to sound harsh, but this thread is supposed to be exclusively for the reporting and analysis of bugs discovered in BD-RB.

(I personally NEVER keep HD audio)

I'd suggest that for postings that are NOT SPECIFICALLY related to BD-RB bugs, you simply create new threads (with meaningful titles for the threads) - and that way we can all be happy rule-abiding campers ;>}

@jdobbs, I found a bug when using x264's internal LAVF for decoding that causes undersized output and (potentially) out of specs streams, basically the demuxed original video is identify by LAVF as 25 fps regardless of the original framerate (23.976), so the bitrate of the output stream (after muxing at the original framerate) is lower than expected by a ~4% (25/23.976 = 1.0427):

Quote:
- [12:20:18] Reencoding video [VID_00050]
- Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080
- Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 823 frames
- Bitrate: 13,124 Kbs
- [12:20:18] Reencoding: VID_00050, Pass 1 of 2
- [12:20:42] Reencoding: VID_00050, Pass 2 of 2


Bitrate as reported by BDInfo.

Code:
Name:                   00000.MPLS
Length:                 0:00:34.284 (h:m:s.ms)
Size:                   56,961,024 bytes
Total Bitrate:          13.89 Mbps

VIDEO:

Codec                   Bitrate             Description     
-----                   -------             -----------     
MPEG-4 AVC Video        12657 kbps          1080p / 23.976 fps / 16:9 / High Profile 4.1
Is not really that much of a difference, but I wonder if that does not cause compatibility problems since the buffer and the max bitrate of the stream where calculated using a different fps value. I don't have a 29.97 Blu-ray, but if that kind of discs are affected too the file-size differences could be huge (20%).

There was a new version of X264 included in the release of BD-RB v0.40.09, so there's always a chance that could be an issue. Since then there is another new version of X264 (revision 2197) out, in case someone thinks they are crashing due to the last release. I just started testing it today. Just remember to only use the 8-bit depth versions. You also have to remember to rename the 64 bit version to x264-64.EXE for BD-RB to see it.
I noticed in Windows Task Manager I'm running the x264.exe *32 version and not the 64bit version. I already have a x264-64.exe in the Tool folder. How can I make BD-RB use the 64bit version? It used to use the 64bit version in the past.

Thats completely normal - since only the 32bit version can use avisynth filters since its 32bit.
The 64bit version of x264 is only used if external filters are not used, in LAVF mode.
