BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[stenews]

@ Atak_Snajpera
Hi mate and thanks you too for your reply.
I didn't know about the new experimental FFDSHOW release, may be a day I'll give it a try
Regularly, I don't really like to install the latest software release.
I do that only in case it's absolutely necessary.
Basically if a release works for me now, I'll leave it and I change it only when I discover an issue.

Stefano.

@ jdobbs
Just wanted to state that I was succesful with 'Jumper' and those errors, 'runtime 9' is not any bugs in BD-RB v.0.17.13, but rather my firewall...And you already mentioned about the TSMuxer fix (runtime 5 error) in this latest version, so all's great.

BD-RB did a fine job on Jumper.... :thanks:



A good question is the only movie include the menu and the scenes selection.

That would be a nice option, but presently I don't think it does keep anything other than the movie itself.

No menus or chapter selection menus, but does create chapter points so jumping forward and backwards is not a problem... As for whether he would implement retaining any form of manus, he has asked that those kinds of requests be placed in other threads...

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I have been using this software since I discovered it on New Years Eve. So far so good. Keep up the good work and I'll report any issues here if I come across any.

[jwgallardo]

Just reporting back about my problem where my computer got frozen after pass #1 of Shining movie. I reboot everything and I check default options of the program. For some reason, I was playing with the program and I activated the options:
* Status Logging On
* Verbose Status Reporting
I also remember I changed encoding settings during encoding from Idle Priority to Normal Priority.
I am reporting this in order to jdobbs to see if this combination caused the freeze.
What those options do?

BTW, I did movie only and I checked with my sister's PS3 and It played without any problems. When I get back home, I will check with my Denon BD-3800 and I will also process a full movie. I need a new desktop system. With the Lenovo laptop it took 37 hours to process "Shining" (movie only) using an external HDD connected by USB (maybe part of the bottleneck).

Jdobbs: I also vote to have an option to leave original trueHD/DTSHD audio. In my system I can distinguish between audio options in some movies. It is not huge difference though, but most audiophiles love to preserve even the minimal differences.
What happens with movies with 7.1 channels in trueHD audio? Are those downmixed to DolbyEX 7.1?

About the transfer of movie quality I must say it is awesome but I'm not a videophile so it seems excellent to me.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

One thing I have noticed, I run AnyDVDHD on my systems and when ImgBurn kicks in to burn the movie to DVD it complains about AnyDVD being active.

Is it possible to detect if AnyDVD is active and stop it before initiating ImgBurn and when you get control back from ImgBurn start it back up?

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I have a question that deals with the final output size. First off I'm only doing movie only for my media centers. Should I be doing DVD-9 or go with DVD-5? Any advantages to either versus DVD-9 using up twice the amount of space.

[rmeyers]

there are always advantages to more space. the bigger the resolution, the more space you need to use in order for the picture to look good.

personally i'll only be going BD-25. but im waiting for the feature that leaves the audio untouched, including both DolbyHD and DTS-HD, on the rebuilt BD.

[x_specter_x]

can you send me your INF file, INI file, and a list of the working directory? dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com

This is in reference to getting an error 9 at 100%, when it looked like the conversion was completed. I was doing a full copy to DVD9.

OK, I sent you the files today. it happened on night watch and day watch. I noticed that my anydvd was set to remove trailers and adverts when ripping. Could that have been the problem?

[KarstenS]

Rebuilding "Meet the Robinsons" (German) completed (Complete backup to DVD9 size).

In tracks with german sound I've selected AC3 and, when available, DTS.
In tracks with no german sound I've selected English AC3.

Subtitles: all.

No quick encode for extras.

Made ISO Image with ImgBurn, mounted with DeamonTools and started playing with PowerDVD 8 Ultra.

The language menu at start works as it should. Then the first surprise. The standard Disney Blu-Ray promo trailer played with no sound. I looked into audio selection in PowerDVD. German was checked. I manually checked English (USA) ang got now sound...the german one. In the list of audiostreams shows PowerDVD 4 languages. English at first place, german at second place and so on. I think it is the same problem, that another user wrote here with wrong PID.

Same in main movie. Sound got muxed to the places of english.

Another problem with main movie. After 9 mins of playback it hangs. I had to jump manually some seconds forward to continue playback. The next part up to minute 29 or 30 repeated again and again. Then I stopped playback.

I tried also "Movie only" mode, but it selects not the main movie. It selects an extra as main movie.

Meet the robinsons is a very spezial BD. The main movie is split into 35 files. Half of them are tree times on BD. The regular files are with english in-movie text. The others are with german and italiano translations of the in-movie texts.

EDIT: I forgot. At end i got Error 9 'subscript out of...'. The last what it did was copying the BD structure files.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Has anybody had issue with Hancock or X Files - I want to believe? I tried both tonight, with Beta 12 and 13 and get the same results. When the software goes into the encoding of the movie I get numerious X264.exe errors and bunches and bunches of ffdshow and matroska icon in the notification area.

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/waynecierkowski/x264stoppedworking.jpg

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/waynecierkowski/TonsofIcons.jpg

I'm running Vista X64 with a Q6600 quad processor and 8 GB of memory.

I was able to get around Hancock by running the Blu-Ray DVD through TSMuxeR and only put out the video and audio stream I wanted but after going through BD-RB some of the Audio was out of sync with the Video by a sec or two.

[datman]

well it's about to complete another 24 hour process. I wish I could figure out why it's so slow. I have a amd 6000+ that clocks at 3.10 x 2. My c drive is on a 120 g 7200 rpm IDE drive and my working and storage folder are in a 1tb 7200 external usb 2.0 drive.
I don't know why my first try went so well. I don't think I had MatroskaSplitter installed and I also installed Avisynth2585 after the first sucessful try. Either way the end product will not play.

I know it's something wrong with my system. I'm at wits end doing 24 hour test runs. May be it's "Ghost" next time I'll try another disc.

[datman]

nope it failed same door open error in pdvd 7 (3319a)

[rmeyers]

im reporting my findings from a test run of Transformers to a full BD-9

I am using PowerDVD Ultra, no STB yet. Under the list of audio and subtitles available, it had the list of all of the original subtitles even though i only selected the english ones. e.g. under "Audio Languages" there still was French and Spanish listed even though when they are selected nothing happens, same with the subtitles. i know below it says all subs were selected, but they weren't, so i provided a pic to show that no subs would show up when i had spanish selected. EDIT: i was going to take a pic and show you, but i guess Print Screen is disabled when a HD movie is playing.

The "Transformers HUD" under the Extras did not work. screen goes blank, and no sound, but when i hit 'pop-up menu' it goes back to the extras screen, so it wasnt frozen. The commentary and BD-Live work.

In the main movie, the Dolby HD did not work. When it was selected, no audio played, and in the Show Information dialog box, nothing was there. i had both audio options selected in BD-RB (did not downsample audio).

The video is MPEG-4 AVC. all videos and extras are 1080p. sizing was 7.51GB (8,071,069,696 bytes), which is good. menu worked perfectly.

It was MatroskaSplitter that I installed prior to my 2nd try. It's not listed as required software. I might have installed thinking it was. I doubt this my problem but I uninstalled it and I am trying again. If the speed is faster than 0.19 I'll post otherwise I'll post tomorrow night.

jdobbs clearly states in his first post that Matroska is required for BD-RB to work. Or are you talking about something else??

[rmeyers]

everyone should just install the latest version of the K-Lite Codec Pack Standard. it has everything. updated almost weekly.

[Adub]

That is a horrible idea. K-Lite is responsible for more problems than fixes, and I can't count the number of times a user has come on these forums and posted about an issues that cleared up as soon as they uninstalled it and installed ffdshow.

[writersblock29]

@Jdobbs

I tested a copy of Reservoir Dogs on a Sylvania NB501SL9 set top player, and can confirm that this particular model has issues with menu structures on a BD9. It starts off with the Lionsgate splash screen... full audio... then goes blank. The LED readout on the front of the player informs you that it's calling up the menu, but even after waiting several full minutes, it's only a black screen without audio. This same disk plays back fine using the software player Arcsoft Totalmedia Theatre (as does the ISO the disk was burned from) on my HTPC.

I'm not reporting this as a bug, really--I know others have posted about menu issues--I thought it might be good info to know since the Sylvania's an entry-level player, and those who are budget-minded (in this economy, who isn't?) might be attracted to it. I have open access to the player, and don't mind running more tests on other projects if you'd like for me to.

The disk was a Verbatim +R DL (Singapore, not India), burned with IMGburn via ISO image at 2.4X and formatted as DVD-ROM.

Considering that both my HTPC and regular desktops can play them, it makes me wonder if the target audience for BD9 might wind up being HTPC enthusiats. It'd be nice to know why some set top players are so picky.

works perfect for me. dont use the basic or the full version. standard comes with ffdshow, and all you have to change is the DirectShow Video Output to VMR9.

never had any problems.

The disk was a Verbatim +R DL (Singapore, not India), burned with IMGburn via ISO image at 2.4X and formatted as DVD-ROM.

I'd like to confirm what the User "Writersblock29" said above. I have exactly the same issue with my copy of episodic "Lost - disc 1".
After making a full encode, I put the BD9 into my standalone Samsung BD-P1500, it loads, I see the production studio's intro, I see the FBI warnings, and after that, the screen goes black. The device never shows any menues or navigation screen or anything. It stays black, despite the P1500's display saying that it's loading / playing.
The disc plays fine on my PC.
When I do a movie only backup, it plays fine on my standalone (maybe because there are no menues). But in this case, it's not an option, because if I tick "movie only", Rebuilder will pick only one episode, but there's four of them that I need.
I will wait for a new version, cuz I remember jdobbs saying he's considering expanding the "movie only" modality, in order to enable the user to manually select / unselect the content elements that he wants to keep.

[d62ks821]

RESOLVED: I am running XP and had to change VC-1 from disabled to wmv9 in ffdshow video decoder configuration. Now x264.exe doesnt hang at end of first pass encode.

Thanks for your hard work!! :)

...I am having problems with my first attempt of using BD-RB. The initial file parsing completes, but encode hangs at Current progress 100%, Overall progress 0%, and CPU utilization is 0%, looks like nothing is happening.

Note that I can open up the F:\Working\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS file in virtualdub without problems, so looks like the source, avisynth and codecs are ok.

Here is the log at this point:

-----------------------
[10:47:03] BD Rebuilder v0.17.13 (beta)

LASTCMD.TXT shows:
"C:\Program Files\BD-RB\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "F:\WORKING\WORKFILES\INFO.AVS" --crf 16 --output NUL

And INFO.AVS has already been generated by x264.exe and looks ok.

...and when I check taskmanager, sure enough x264.exe is still running and has not completed that command. SO, as an experiment I try manually running the above command from Command Prompt. It seems to complete OK, but never returns to command prompt. hmm, same symptom.

As an experiment I try just killing the hung x264.exe repeatedly, and then the BD-RB goes on with to next step ok:

- Error [01:1] returned from encoder. Retrying. <<====correspond by killing x264.exe 3 times.
- Error [02:1] returned from encoder. Retrying.
- Error [03:1] returned from encoder. Retrying.

(I guess I'll know in 7-8 hours if this instance of x264 exits correctly or not.)
.
.
.
7 hours later: x264.exe hung at end of 1st pass, showing current progress 100% and frames: 217840/217841 ...so again, why would x264.exe be hanging?

Its not beta testing if you're not using the BD-Rebuilder program as packaged by the author. The whole idea is to find out where the problems exist, so they can be fixed.

dont worry about my codecs. i can test however i want bud. im talking to the people that are doing this and are clueless about codecs. in fact, im gonna go on offense here and say, im pretty sure im the only one here who is providing any useful data about a rip all in one post. see post # 463. thats how you test.

[Trahald]

I dont think there is anything wrong with testing with your own codecs AS LONG AS you are prepared that if something goes wrong you may need to duplicate the error with a stock install before real troubleshooting can occur. The problem with people knowledgeable enough to tweak the beta is that 'some' tend to leave out the fact they did tinker assuming they are too good to have caused a problem themselves when reporting bugs. As long as the tinkerer is humble enough to either admit they changed something when making a bug report and/or do a run with a stock setup to ensure it really is a bug. tinkering should be ok.

[turbojet]

Has anybody had issue with Hancock or X Files - I want to believe? I tried both tonight, with Beta 12 and 13 and get the same results. When the software goes into the encoding of the movie I get numerious X264.exe errors and bunches and bunches of ffdshow and matroska icon in the notification area.

It has some clips ffdshow can't decode, the only work around i know of is to use coreavc, maybe sonic filters would work too. If BD-RB had support for DGAVC that could also be used.

[datman]

It was MatroskaSplitter that I installed prior to my 2nd try. It's not listed as required software. I might have installed thinking it was. I doubt this my problem but I uninstalled it and I am trying again. If the speed is faster than 0.19 I'll post otherwise I'll post tomorrow night.


OK I figured out what I did wrong. :o In the ffdshow setup there are a lot of options you can check. Stupid me checked them all.

I unchecked them all and made sure mpeg-2 was chosen. Everything worked fine. My speed was up to .56

Can anyone tell me the best configuration for all the options in ffdshow.

[rmeyers]

this is what i got. cant maximize the screen. everything above what is shown is libavcodec. i have vista x64.

Thanks that's how I have it set up now also. I think by checking all those options caused my slow process time and subsequent failure

Absolutely perfect wording Trahald :goodpost:

@rmeyers... considering that you are the only one who knows all things about all codecs... why would such an extraordinary codec master like yourself jeapordize their own system by loading 'all' codecs onto their system regardless of 'IF' they are even needed at all by any programs????????????? Are you saying that no codecs could possibly conflict with each other??

[writersblock29]

I'd like to defend those who are trying BD Rebuilder using alternate codecs. Since every one of us--no matter how we're using the program--runs the risk of winding up with an unusable encode after hours of trying (hence, the very nature of beta testing), I don't see where one approach is automatically better than the other. Consider a conversation that goes something like this:

USER A: "I tried X disk using X settings, and it failed."
USER B: "I just did that same disk using ______ codec pack, and it went smoothly."
USER A: "Hey! I just re-ran it using that pack, and it works!"
JDOBBS: "Well I'll be damned!"

Let's even expand this hypothetical situation further, and say that Jdobbs is able to incorporate the codec pack into his program (which, let's not forget, is somewhat of a front end for other freeware software--like FFdshow). Jdobbs winds up with a stronger release. Isn't that the entire point to allowing the public to test it out?

[MikeyBK]

BD-RB is working perfectly as is for me, only three instances were that ffdshow did not have mpeg2 checked by default, and my Comodo firewall blocked BD-RB access to call up ffdshow and Matroska on this latest Beta, and of course the runtime 9 error when I used a TSMuxer BD structure as the source, but this issue was fixed in this latest beta ..... so why suggest to others that they should simply install a codec pack without knowing what the issues are caused by??

If you'd like to test your own alternative codecs, I'm all for them to try them out, but not when they start randomly suggest codec packs to someone who ended up with only a configuration issue with ffdshow.

[writersblock29]

@MikeyBK

I hear you, but that's not really what I meant. What I'm saying is that many people use codec packs for normal video playback, and are very happy with them. If they have to uninstall them to use a product like BD RB, then they lose everything about that pack that they liked. Why not try the encodes with what they've got on their system? I ask this because most of the codec packs I'm familiar with use FFdshow, anyway; and I remember a post by Jdobbs (I forget where, but perhaps he'll see this exchange and offer his experience) where he said he was using the CoreAVC decoder. CoreAVC isn't a codec pack, no... but it's not standard FFdshow, either.

I also offered my post--my opinion, yes--to state that while there is the possibility of creating havok, there's also the possibility of solving an issue that exists with using the Rebuilder program as is. (Interlaced VC-1 handling, for example.) So long as the user states what he/she is doing, what codec or codec pack they have, and methods they've tried... I'm not saying it'll elliminate it, but hopefully it will keep Jdobbs from bumping down blind alleys trying to beta test us.

I wouldn't recommend installing whatever arbitrary pack whenever issues occur. I'm saying why not try what you've already got, and if it gets you around a problem others are having... examine why that is. I feel such an instance would prove benifical to Jdobbs in creating a stronger product.

[rmeyers]

boom goes the dynamite.

Responding to below:

the K-Lite Codec Pack does not have any configuration issues. it is setup up to work out of the box. that why everyone can use it. it can also check for corrupt codecs, and allow you to remove them if you choose.

anyway, im gonna do the same test i did before, except with shrinking to a BD-25 instead of BD-9 and see if the same issues exist.

[MikeyBK]

I also understsnd your point as well writer's block, and perhaps this debate should be more appropriate in it's own thread. This debate basically started because rmeyers suggested that datman simply install the codec pack to solve his issues, several other members disagreed, as did I.

As it turns out datmans' problem was basically along the lines that he tried to have all codecs checked (same possible issue with codec packs??), so clearly it was simply a configuration issue and not any bug in BD-RB, so no codec pack was even necessary to begin with.

If you have a codec that can be utlized already by BD-RB, by all means use it, but why suggest a codec pack to someone else that may end up screwing things up further??? And based on what datmn stated, I'd think that installing that codec pack would've been very problematic for his individual case.

BTW, I'm confident that JDobbs, as well as many a members here are far more advanced in codecs and compatibility than any of us.... JMHO...

[datman]

Yes MikeyBK, I don't know what I was thinking JDobbs would have listed anything that needed to be checked. It was just that many of the titles looked like something I would want (someday)

The good news is that my last process "Dumb & Dumber" seemed to work perfect. The target size was DVD-9. The picture was at or near 100%. MY speed on my current run is 0.65 I'm very happy with that.
The long process time is no problem if you time it right. As JDobbs said run it at night go to bed, I even set my defrag to run at noon everyday so when I come home it's done, defragged an ready for another run:cool:




JDobbs I read an earlier post asking about there being an option to keep the highend audio. Would this option be interely posible if the target was a BD-25 disc

[MR.WaynesWorld]

It has some clips ffdshow can't decode, the only work around i know of is to use coreavc, maybe sonic filters would work too. If BD-RB had support for DGAVC that could also be used.

If I get the coreavc how do you intergrate it into BD-RB?

[jdobbs]

@ALL

Read the title of this thread, please:

BUG REPORTS ONLY.

It's getting to the point the even I don't want to read this thread anymore because I have to go through 10 "my opinion" posts for every "here's a bug" post.

[writersblock29]

@Jdobbs

Point taken, and I offer my appologize for my own role.

Back on topic, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull suffers the same playback as Reservoir Dogs. Both disks play back fine if done as "movie-only." The opening studio splash screens seem to be no issue... it's that menu that gives the Sylvania ST player its hassle. As before, Arcsoft Totalmedia Theatre has no problem with either full disk or movie-only backups.

Please see post #460. I believe this is a bug on how the program is handling the video stream for some movies.

An odd thing occurred while trying to do movie only of An American Carol.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the movie playlist consists of a second m2ts file (only 600 KBs and is just a 'Thanks To' screen)... so BD-RB loads it as part of the movie only mpls, however when the encoding starts BD-RB calls up two instances of both FFDSHOW and Matroska??

Not sure if this is a bug or it is by design?

I aborted and used TSMuxer to create a movie-only BD of this title and BD-RB did a perfect job on it.

This sounds similar to what is happening to me with Hancock and X Files - I want to Believe. But I get many instances of FFDShow and Matoska. More then I can count...

I have the same issue with Hancock... It doesn't matter if its a full copy or Movie Only. I had problems with a couple other movies and I re-ripped them with a newer version or AnyDVD (6.5.1.0), and the conversion was successful. I'll try Hancock again later..

MR. WaynesWorld for X-Files I Want to Believe this will fix it. (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1234406&postcount=477) I just did a full backup successfully with coreavc a few days ago. Maybe the same issue with Hancock?

[d62ks821]

7 hours later: x264.exe hung at end of 1st pass, showing current progress 100% and frames: 217840/217841 ...so again, why would x264.exe be hanging?


RESOLVED: I am running XP and had to change VC-1 from disabled to wmv9 in ffdshow video decoder configuration. Now x264.exe doesn't hang at end of first pass encode.

Thanks.. I'll give it a try tonight... I also nioticed that AnyDVDHD released a new release today, 6.5.1.1. That too maybe worth trying. So I may just re-rip the movie down to HD and try your solution. Is there anything I need to do in program?

You'll need to disable h264\avc decoding in ffdshow so it uses another directshow filter. You can load the m2ts into graphstudio to figure out which filter its using. The problem is with some of the 480i clips, I can't remember offhand which. ffdshow isn't very robust at handling interlaced h264/VC-1 streams and when you come across these it's always safer to use an alternative. I've found these to work the best on interlaced streams if you have to use directshow.
for AVC, CoreAVC (may cause some artifacts on some recent 'non-compliant' retail blurays)
for VC1, WMVideo DMO 9 (part of wmp11)
for MPEG2, Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 (shareware) another alternative is ffdshow libavcodec.

What has handled the widest variety of streams for me are DGAVC, DGVC1 (unfortunately requires a newer nvidia card), DGMpeg2. But these aren't currently supported by BD-RB

I haven't come across or seen reports of any progressive streams failing to decode by ffdshow's libavcodec.

My apologies Jdobbs.

On my 2nd computer last night had a audio reincode error.

If someone can PM me and give advise on how to record and report errors. I could use the lesson.

I did a movie only rebuild for Ironman but when I tried to burn, Imgburn said the AC3 file was corrupted. All setting BD Rebuilder are default.
