BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Gavster]

I have been using BD Rebuilder for quite a while now and have successfully rebuilt 60+ movies with no problems at all untill i try to rebuild The Adjustment Bureau.
It fails to encode for some strange reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have that one. I'll run it Now I have a reason to run it LOL!

I've made it through all of the smaller streams. I don't expect I'll have a problem. But without your setup information, I don't know.

@Gavster

Hi!

Have you checked to make certain that your initial rip of your original, commercial Blu-ray disc has no playback problem(s)?

[jdobbs]

@Gavster

It's very possible that some other software that you've installed is intercepting the VC-1 codec or a supporting function. I'd recommend you deinstall and reinstall BD-RB and all its helper apps.

Are there known issues which make it likely for aften to fail with this source . Should I even be bothering you posting a report and should I just avoid trying to get it to work?

If not, could you steer me to some information which might allow some solution.

Just wanted to say that I recall I backed up a copy of this movie successfully two weeks ago using version 0.38.09
using same audio and auto quality settings. I notice you have 24 av streams while mine had 138. I'm guessing that the newer version auto blanked those which don't appear in the log.

Anyway, I hope you find out what's not working.

There should be no issues. There are lots of discs that use DTS HD.

OK well that's good to know. Is there a link you could steer me to with info so I can myself trouble shoot the issue with "the name of the rose" instead of imposing it on you?

[omegaman7]

Adjustment Bureau worked perfectly for me. Good movie

One thing you can do is:

1. Make sure you have "Uncompressed audio" enabled in FFDSHOW's audio configuration. Set it to "All Supported"

2. Open up Media Play Classic (it's included with BD-RB).

3. Open the offending AVS file (AUD_00001_4352.AVS) and see if it plays back.

At least that way you'll know whether it is the decoding or the encoding that is causing the issue.

Also, can you look at the file "00001.track_4352.dts" in Explorer and report the size. I'd like to be sure it demuxed properly.

Yes, the audio config setting is set to "all supported"

Yes the AUD_00001_4352.AVS file plays clearly in WMC

And the size of the file is 1,453,497 KB.

I have also tried a movie only conversion of "true grit" down to a BD-5 if only to see how good the video compression is, but fails at the same place with the same audio conversion settings.

Well, then the only other likely possiblity is that AFTEN is missing or has been corrupted somehow. Have you tried reinstalling BD-RB from the zip file? As a test, I just did audio encoding on a disc I have that uses "DTS-HD XLL" with v0.39.01 and it worked fine.

Is there a problem with this hierarchy?
C:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\aften.exe

if you click on aften.exe it very quickly opens and closes a command window. I doubt it is corrupted, but I'm thinking maybe the path by which BD_reb calls aften.exe may not be correct.

Workfiles exists as D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES

[jdobbs]

Go to the DOS command window and paste in this command:

c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\wavi.exe "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" - | c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\aften.exe -v 1 -b 640 -readtoeof 1 - "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\00001.track_4352.AC3"

That should be the same command line that BD-RB is using. Tell me what error you get. Note: even though it rolls over into a couple of lines here -- it should all be on one line.

BD-RB offsets from its execution path. So unless you're calliing BDRB.EXE from somewhere other than "c:\accessories\BD_Reb\" it should be correct.

No, BDRB.exe resides in the very same folder.

Have you tried just unzipping BD-RB on the desktop, or at C:\?

I had to add an underscore in a dir name. Got a bonafide error message, so evidently it doesn't see PCM audio..

PCM audio works just fine for me, and usually I select DD 5.1 640kbps for reencoding for BD5/9. No problems for me.

Now the contents of AUD_00001_4352.AVS reads:

#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.39.01 (beta)
LoadPlugin("C:\accessories\BD_Rebuilder\tools\nicaudio.dll")
audio=NicDTSSource("00001.track_4352.dts", Channels=2).Amplify(1.2)
ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))

Curiouser and curiouser. Try opening the AVS with MPC again. Click on the "Properties" selection from the "File" menu while it is playing. Then click on the "Details" tab. What does it say about the audio type? It should be PCM 6 channel @ 48000 hz.

The only way it ever says "Channels=2" is if you are trying to encode to alternate format or you have have "Use 192Kbs encoding for AC3" selected in setup. It sounds like you're playing with your settings.

Just in case you haven't figured it out, I'm a problem child

I wish I knew.
