BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

I think it is something peculiar to the way TSMUXER writes it (when it does the resizing) -- as I'd never seen that before in my testing.

Anyway, I've fixed it for the next release.

Will the fix be applied to the 720p downsized sup, or would I have to redo everything from scratch starting from the original 1080p disc?

[omegaman7]

I've ripped lots of discs. BD and DVD. I've had 2 lite-on drives that will ignore read errors. My current iHES108 drive is one of them. The other was an iHAP424.

@killingtime, is this disc translucent? I've also had trouble in the past, with discs like that. Really rather an ignorant design. The technology employs a light/eye/beam, and then they make a disc, that light can travel through. Genius...

The fix will take care of it from the 720 downsized SUP, so you don't have to redo anything. BD-RB just takes the timing from the clearing Windows-Definition-Segment instead. But just as an FYI, as of a couple versions ago BD-RB doesn't use TSMUXER for resizing SUPs anymore (because it has a tendency to fail sometimes). BD-RB does the resize itself. So that oddity in the timestamp of the End-of-Display-Segment is gone from that point on.

The source video jumped once or twice, and BDRebuilder video output went white for a few seconds in the same place. The audio was out of sync from that point forward. The obvious solution is to clean the disc and try again. This could be what has happened with Heartbreak Ridge, but if it is, I can't see where the problem is on the source material, and cleaning the disc has not changed anything.

I've had this happen as well, and while the issue is very manifest on playback of the rebuild, it can be very difficult to see any visible artifacts during playback of the rip it's based on: I only saw them once I identified the exact moment the rebuild messed up, then went back frame-by-frame, examining each in detail: I eventually found very small areas of flat-colored macroblocks on just a couple of frames. In my case, cleaning and reripping worked eventually, but I actually ended up ripping with a newer BD drive just to be sure. Never did AnyDVD-HD (ripping program) or BD-RB report an error while ripping/rebuilding the corrupted file.

I don't know if it's feasible, and somehow doubt it is, but some check on the integrity of the original video stream may help eliminate this problem with bad rips.

That would be virtually impossible. A frame-by-frame examination would take as long as an encode. Interesting, though, that in a couple thousand encodes I've never seen it. I guess I've been lucky with my drives.

A cool computer case helps Most cases have pretty dire cooling...

Yeah, I didn't think it would be feasible, but thought I'd ask. I generally rip with my LiteOn (which was the cheapest BD-ROM drive I could get at the time I bought it), to save wear and tear on my nice Pioneer BD writer--I've had 2 bad rips with the LiteOn using AnyDVD-HD (always up-to-date), but reripping with the Pioneer, so far, hasn't given any issues. I hate to add the extra wear to my Pioneer, but I may have to start ripping with it to avoid these random and virtually undetectable bad rips.

I hear you. I really do LOL! My lite-on is guilty of a few bad rips. My LG hasn't done it yet. I don't expect it to for a while yet either. *touch wood*

@ jdobbs

Yes, I chose the Theatrical version:
Playlist 00001 -- Playlength: 01:34:00 - [048 Chapters].

And the Director's Cut version:
Playlist 00007 -- Playlength: 01:39:44 - [049 Chapters].

Both had the same sync issues.

BD-RB is still randomly refusing to continue an incomplete rebuild for me. My system BSODed, I rebooted, opened BD-RB, clicked Backup, and it allowed me to resume. My system later BSODed again while encoding the same segment that it was encoding the first time my system crashed, but after this reboot, it's now only allowing me the option to delete the contents of the working directory. I didn't change anything either time, just rebooted, relaunched the app, and clicked "Backup."

Thanks.

@A.Fenderson

If you're getting a BDOD, it is definitely a problem with your system. The fact that it is "random" is pretty much proof of that.

Both had the same sync issues.

Hmm... that's even worse. I just went to look at my copy -- and there is no "Director's Cut". So I went to Amazon, and I can't even find one with it.

@omegaman7: RE:I hear you. I really do LOL! My lite-on is guilty of a few bad rips.

I have recently done the BBC Life series ( the David Attenborough one, not Oprah's ) and on Disk 3, Episode 6 Insects, Chapter 5, there is a scene where one of the Dawson's bee's are coming out of the ground that is really a mess. It is specifically at 39:39 and 39:40 and lasts for about 40 frames, it is a blocky mess of little squares, and is not in the original or in the rip, that I did, and redid. It has shown up no matter if I do it as automatic quality, or even as highest quality 2 pass. I have finally given up and accepted that it is just a hiccup while being encoded and left it alone but wondered if anyone else has seen this problem either on this disk or others?

On another note, you really have to love Sandy Bridge, doing a 2 hour movie in high quality default 2 pass in under 3 hours! WOW! Who cares if it runs hot as a firecracker, even 98 degrees sometimes. I have noticed that when it is on the 1'st pass that it maxes out around 65 fps but the cores are not maxed and are only running ariund 30 percent. Is there a limit to how fast x264 can go or is the bottleneck in the hardrives and bus speeds? I have wondered about going all SSD, even for the output folder not just for the source. It does max out the cores on 2'nd pass, at around 20 fps.

Also, the post in your link doesn't contain the INI file. That is the LOG and the INF file. The INI is called BDREBUILDER.INI and is located in the installation folder. It contains all the saved settings.

I'm ripping from an LG burner BH10LS30, and it gets good reviews. The source disc is semi-transparent.

So it's working now?

[omegaman7]

I Knew it! Those transparent discs are a total buzz kill. I remember the first one I ever dealt with. "Broken arrow". It was soo transparent, it was almost like glass. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Clearly they haven't learned, since at least 1 out of 5 are at least semi-transparent. Ok, I'll shut up about this now.

@Worknstiff, Harddrives are hardly a bottleneck for such an intensive process(Fragmentation COULD slow it slightly though). I seriously doubt that any single processor can encode fast enough to saturate a hard drives bandwidth(Who knows what the industry has at their disposal though). Cloud computing...that's a different story.

[worknstiff]

@ omegaman7, RE: Harddrives are hardly a bottleneck for such an intensive process

Looking at this from purely a theoretical hypothesis, since I have not even a vague idea what x264 is doing in either pass, is that if pass1 is only reading the frames and if pass2 is actually writing the frames, then it stands to reason the writing is slower since pass1 is doing 60fps and pass2 is only 20fps with all 4 cores running 100%. There must be a reason that pass2 is so much more cpu intensive and still is slower by about 40fps. thanks for your input, worknstiff

[omegaman7]

I don't understand the coding of X264 myself. But it is logical to assume, an SSD has lower latency, so you would likely see at least a slight improvement. But I'd wager it wouldn't be much. The CPU is being worked like a dog with the X264 process. It takes a lot of horsepower/resources. THat's just the easiest way to explain it. Even reading a 1920 x 1080 frame takes some processing horse power So a faster hard drive would probably not speed this up.

[jdobbs]

I'm pretty sure the reason you aren't hitting 100% on pass one is because X264's settings are less challenging and it is encoding faster than the frames are being presented to it. That would indicate the combination of FFDSHOW, AVISYNTH, HAALI and the harddrive are the bottleneck. You'll also find that the processor will run under 100% on pass 2 for some very powerful processors.
