Denner do you remember what video bitrate was originally requested by the program? I'm wondering if the overshoot was in the "asked vs. actual" bitrate of the converted video, or instead in the muxing process of video/audio/subs.

To view the current bitrate really has the file can be obtained from BDinfo and also know the bitrate of the subtitles. I think the problem may be in the subs or the re-encoded video has a really different bitrate.

Denner, you can display the data obtained with BDinfo?

I know what is causing the oversize!

In the settings you put the track as forced subtitles but the original track has a bitrate of 26 Kbps and is therefore is not a forced subtitles track.

The general rule to follow is:
If the original track of the Blu-Ray is forced subtitles in the software select "forced subtitle" if not select "regular subtitle"

Perhaps it is not clear

The program does not scan the bitrates and therefore considered: forced subtitle < 2 Kbps, normal subtitle ~20 - 25 Kbps.

Ok, that explains a lot, I was under the impression that the forced sub option was a say for me to force the sub as a defult sub ?

Well Sorry that I misunderstood, but it would be a cool feature for the end user to be able to force a subtitle stream : )

Will try to encode again whit the sub as non forced

Will you maybe, in a future version support an animation preset and multiple subtitles and audio streams ?

Best regards
Dennis

You can force a subtitle track (default = on) but only if it is forced on the original Blu-Ray and you select "forced subtitle". Because these tracks tend to have a very low bitrate, no oversize problem.

The ideal would be to detect the actual bitrate of the track but it is not easy... maybe later

New version with a new feature: scan bitrates!


Allows to know the exact bitrate of the subtitles and HD audio tracks (VBR)

The first post is updated

Cool, after turning off the forced option, no more oversized output

Will be testing the new version during the weekenden

nice Tool and i have used for the last time the BD Rebuilder.

I missed the Features for insert more Language and Subtitle Tracks and a complete backup with Menu of my BluRay?

Question: does installing this app install any codecs/filters? I already have mine setup the way I like them, and wouldn't want to have this one change any of it.

@pistacho

Does this program allow for keeping full disc structure (menus, main movie, extras, etc.), or only "main movie"?

Are you in any way associated with Mr. "DVDShrink"?

I've been looking for an easy-to-use utility to create either an AVCHD or MKV. This utility easily satifies my need for creating AVCHD, so thanks for the good job!

However, it's a long wait to convert a Blu-ray to AVCHD DVD9. I'm using the very slow setting, which I assume gives the best quality. Being used to converting DVD9 to DVD5 with DVD Rebuilder Pro and CCE SP2, this takes far longer... even on my Core i7-956 @ 3.6ghz

Now only if I could find an easy-to-use utility to create a compressed MKV with subtitles. I know MakeMKV, but that creates an uncompressed MKV and I have to go through a lot of trouble to get the subs... a shame there isn't something like "BDtoMKV"... (hint, hint)

Hi!

If I'm not mistaken, BD-Rebuilder recently added that capability...

Quote:
April 3rd, 2010 - v0.33.02
- Added a new option "Other Movie-Only Ouput" to the
MODE menu. This allows you to create other types of
files (rather than BD). The current choices are for
iPOD and iPAD (.MP4) files) and MKV output

I second that. I wrote a guide for converting BD to MP4 a little while ago. All you would have to do is change your output to MKV and you should be okay. http://adubvideo.net/how-to/encoding-blurays-mp4-ripbot

I'll look into those other utilities soon. Right now, however, I'm very satisfied with BDtoAVCHD. The only thing that I bumped into is, how do I differentiate between normal subtitles and the commentary track subtitles? My computer encoded 2012 last night, only to discover I had included the commentary track subtitles instead of the regular subtitles. Quite annoying...

More often then not you will have to play each subtitle stream in something like Total Media Theater and discover which stream is which (they should always be displayed in the same order).

Version 1.1.2 (07/24/2010)
  • New parameters are used --b-pyramid "strict" and --open-gop "bluray".
  • Now the default is used weightp = 2 (improves compression in fades) but adds a configuration option to disable this option for players that are not compatible.
  • x264 updated to version r1683.
  • Mkvextract updated to version 4.1.1
  • Fixed: the "Scan Bitrates" did not work while a conversion is in progress. Now can be used in parallel.


@ Wildfire:

I recommend you use no more than "slow" unless you have a good reason for it The visual difference is not going to notice and the time it takes the conversion is much longer.

This is a rough comparison I made some time ago:
(with only one minute of video)

I'm sticking with the 'very slow'-setting... it can start encoding late in the evening when I'm watching TV or reading a book, continue encoding while I'm asleep and in the morning when I go through my 'morning rituals' (breakfast, reading the newspaper, showering, etc) it can finish encoding.

I always use the 'best quality'-option for my encodes, as long as the encoding time remains reasonable - which in this case, it still does. Excellent video quality, even on long movies like 2012 and Watchmen. So with that in mind: excellent utility! Thanks!
