You can use this small tool if you want them "on" by default.

"Forced" and and "on-by-default" are two different things. Forced subtitles (PGS) have a special flag (located in the m2ts file) which tells the player that subtitles will appear always, no matter what user chooses. The other "normal" subtitles can be switched on and off.

Thanks. That's what I wanted. So if I keep subtitle 1 and subtitle 6 from the original disc, and I want subtitle 6 to be on by default when I edit my movie only folder do I select subtitle 2 or subtitle 6? In other words, will it stay named six or will it become 2 since there are only 2 subtitle options now?

I don't know if 2 or 6 is the correct one. Play the movie-only backup with a software player before burning and you'll see which subs you enabled.

@furiousflea: I tried to follow your HD DVD-->BluRay easy guide with the movie 300. In Stream Extractor I chose the True HD audio and one sub, which only lets you output in sup format. But Tsmuxer doesn't accept thd & sup files. Any easy solution? I'm extracting it now choosing the ac3 audio.

For audio try adding AC3 core with eac3to cli: eac3to <input> <output>.thd+AC3

For sup try loading HD-DVD sup into BDSup2Sub and output BD sup. SUPread is another option.

@turbojet: thanx for your suggestions. I already had chosen the e-ac3 audio, and BDSup2Sub was easy & quick. But I forgot that almost or all the HD DVD titles were made by Warner, soy all use the VC-1 codec. I think that will be an unsurmountable barrier. If you have an idea, I'll appreciate it. Now I'm gonna sleep because I'm falling over the keyboard.

(edit to explain):
I tried to use through ffdshow VC-1 --> libav"etc" (I don't remember the name now) and also WMV9, but always got an error from BD-Rebuilder whenever it began to encode de video.

Now I know.

If burning to BD-RE the space available isn't as high as BD-R by default. To make it so you can write as much to a BD-RE as a BD-R....

Start Imgburn
Tools -> Settings -> "Write tab" -> "Prefer format without spare areas" check box.

Now whne you next format you BD-RE with Imgburn it will hold as much as a normal BD-R

Just a question - how do you go back to an earlier version of BDRB? When I ran into a bug with the new beta (0.24.01) I tried to go back to earlier version and got a message that the beta had expired and to update to a newer version.

All the betas have a timeout. That's so I don't have to readdress old bugs/reports. I just uploaded v0.24.2... try that one.

Thank you JD, I am giving the new version a spin. Ok, another question. If for some reason, a clip (ie, m2ts file) does not encode properly (BDRB says encode failed) and you then hit the backup button, BDRB gives you a choice of re-starting the project from where you left off. If this happens on any extra clips, will the outcome of the rest of the rebuild be ok so that it will burn and play, or is it that if ANY encode fails, the whole project is no good. Thank you.

If it can pick up where it left off, everything will be fine. But if you try to skip over anything it will not.

Does BD RD work just as well with makemkv, DumpHD, or DVD Fab HD as it does with Any DVD HD? Is it compatible with the aforementioned programs?

@happycase

Hi!

Does BD RD work just as well with makemkv, DumpHD, or DVD Fab HD as it does with Any DVD HD?

Yes, it does.

However, since the author, "JDobbs" relies solely on "AnyDVDHD", you'll not get any support regarding problems that may arise from an "other than AnyDVDHD" BluRay rip you create...

BTW - If you use "MakeMKV", you'll first have to convert the resultant MKV file to a BluRay "package", using "tsMuxeR" (A simple procedure that takes but a few minutes)
