Given that your source is bd-bgstp ("bd-bsgtp.nfo" yEnc (1/1)), I'm guessing it's the version recently posted on the net rather than a rip you can verify from the original.

The original is ok, audio is fine.
Tried another time and some thing. Oh well maybe will buy a bdr 50gb.

@jdobbs:

I think I found some more MPLS bugs.

I did 3 movies this weekend: The Mummy, The Mummy Returns, and Wanted. All of which are REGION B universal studios releases that has PiP, which I ripped to BD25 full backup (*without* the PiP). All of them suffered from the same problem - played in PowerDVD9, In the main menu if you click on Play Movie, the playback hangs.

Searching this thread I found posts of people reporting similar issues with similar discs in the past. As I've stated in previous bug reports, we could just say "it's a pdvd bug", but I don't think so (original discs play fine). I once again suspected the MPLS, so I tried swapping the BD-RB one with the original (just to see if it won't hang, didn't actually expect a proper playback) - and voila, it didn't hang.

So I concluded that there's something in the BD-RB MPLS file that PowerDVD does not like/expect. I started digging in BDEdit, comparing the original MPLS with the BD-RB one, and here are my findings (all of which you can see for yourself in the screenshots I've attached):

1) On both the original disc and the BD-RB output there are substreams in the MPLS that are flagged as SubPath subtitles instead of regular PlayItem. On the original disc, however, the SPID's of those streams are mapped correctly to actual subpath items. On BD-RB's output they are mapped to NON-EXISTING subpath items (see images).

2) The actual subpath items (which are the textsubs) have their IN/OUT times untouched in the backup, even tho they should have been updated to match the new in-time of the main video (10 mins). I could be wrong here, look in the image.

3) Even after fixing the IN/OUT times and the substreams SPID's (hex-editted), the disc would STILL not play, which makes me believe there is an additional problem with that MPLS that I still haven't figured out (even so, the abovementioned problems should still be addressed, I think). I attached the original MPLS and the BD-RB MPLS as well, so you can see if you spot anything that's doesn't look right.

I hope this helps,
-PurpleManInteresting. I picked up "The Mummy" and found that it worked alright for me. I'd heard the "Universal" issue mentioned several time, and wondered why I've never experienced the issue.... so I went back and looked at the structure.

Apparently, based on your BDEDIT graphics, it appears be something specific to the PAL versions... because none of the SubPaths you showed exist in my disc (which is NTSC). That's going to make it a little harder to debug -- but using your notes, I think I have an idea of what could be causing it. I'll make some changes for the next release and hopefully you can report on the impact.

Thanks for the excellent report.

Yes, I have the region A version of mummy as well (in addition to Reg B for which I reported the bug), and it's bd-rb-proof, no subpath and it plays well. So this indeed seems to be an issue with the way they authored the region B titles.

To be fair, though, PAL and NTSC would be the wrong terminology, because both releases are 1920x1080 at 23.976fps
(region A and region B).

Could you share the technical information of what you think is wrong in the way it's currently handled?

Could you share the technical information of what you think is wrong in the way it's currently handled? Yeah, it's probably better to refer to it as Regions A/B. I'd guess the difference is due to the number of languages that need to be supported in Region B. Do you know of any NTSC releases that show similar behavior/subpaths? It sure would be nice to have one to work with so I can fix it.

The "12s" are easy, that was a mistake in the code that wasn't looking at the "Type" setting of the stream_entry() properly. The "12" was the first byte of a PID that was stored incorrectly for that type. That's an easy fix.

What I'm trying to determine now is whether I have to scan the M2TSs associated with the SubPlayItems() and change the PTS/DTSs, or just update the IN and OUT times in the table. I'm thinking it's the latter, but I'm not positive. It would be a lot easier to debug/test if I had an example source to work with.

I've added two new hidden options ....
For example if you choose "High Quality (Default)", but want to use "umh" and as the motion estimation method and "psy-rd 1.0:0.2" you could add:

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--me umh --psy-rd 1.0:0.2
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--me umh --psy-rd 1.0:0.2

The tweaks are placed at the end of the command line ....
I added
TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--me umh --tune film
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--me umh --tune film
but it doesn't seem to be added to the command line (lastcmd.txt). I am using 1-pass crf mode. Does the tweak work for 2-pass encodes only?

i have a problem with the "alternate movie only playlist" in 0.30.04 with region B "angels & demons":

since there is a theatrical and extended version on the disc i wanted to choose the longer extended version which is 2:26h instead of 2:18h
i clicked (and double clicked) the corresponding entry for the longer version but no matter what bd-rb always uses the shorter version which is the first entry in the list

i have run the conversion now two times and i have no idea how to make bd-rb select and convert the extended edition - does anyone have a piece of advice as to how i may solve this problem?

thanks for any hint.

@DK,
My experience is if you set everything up first, encoder settings, BD5/9/25, 2 pass etc..., then last select the playlist that you want and click backup, BD-RB will hold the setting. If you make any other changes, it will default back to the other playlist.
Also, are you trying it with Batch mode? If so, try without(regular).

DK
28th October 2009, 16:15
hi capsbackup,
i did select the playlist as the latest step - all else was set before, BUT indeed i used batch mode

will try w/out batch mode and report back

hi capsbackup,

I'll have to get creative and I'll see what I can do to fix it.

capsbackup's assumption was right on spot:

i've started angels&demons now without batchmode and after only a few seconds of processing i think it will run fine this time as the log already states the correct title length of 2:26h where before it stated 2:18h in batch mode (i let it run then because i didnt know if maybe it would change the length in some miracle way, which it didnt)

Well, another way to look at it is you will have both versions available now, and can view either as you please. :cool:

just for the record: the final result was fine with a running time of 2:26h in non-batch mode

I'm having a bit of a problem with the audio re-encoding of my backup on my store bought Monsters vs Alien BD.

First of all let me say this program is great. I've successfully backed up several full BD-9 with movie+menu+extras without issue .. until recently.

My encode for M vs. A completes with no error , however the audio problem I'm having is that it seems that the secondary audio and the main movie audio sound like they've been mixed together when the movie is played -> sounds garbled (funny it is however in sync with the video). If I remove the processing the secondary video then no problem .. the main movie audio works fine. However, I'd really like to keep the secondary video. It's become like a personal vendetta for me right now to get this to work..

This is the first time I've experienced this and I've played with the switches all the way from not converting the DTS & AC3 to encoding all the audio tracks on the disc. I've tried every version of BD-Rebuilder since version 28 to see if this would get corrected but they all produce the same results. I'm wondering if it could be how my system has been configured or could this be a real bug.

Anybody else experienced this backing up M vs. A. as a full BD-9?

Never tried backing it up as a BD-RE.

The player I'm using is TMT. I don't have Power DVD so I don't know.

If I use VLC Media Player, I can pull up all the videos and audio separately and all look and sound fine. It just sounds garbled in TMT 2.6 and 3.0 platinum. Just wondering if any else has tried it and the full BD-9 has worked in TMT, PowerDVD and/or standalone?

I'll try making a BD-RE and see if it gives me the same problem

Ok I'm back

I tried ripping it as a full BD-25 and tried again as a full BD-9 this time ensuring that all the english audio tracks were included. For the PIP there is no audio and still the same garbled audio in the main video audio (sounding again like a merging of the secondary audio with the main). I'm using TMT 2.6 and 3.0.

Has anyone tried this so I can confirm it's not my setup. Thanks.

BTW: I've played the original iso from AnyDVD and no issues... something's going on in how the audio is being re-encoded

@Lynxs;
I have experienced this before with playback on TMT 2 and 3, and did not on PowerDVD 7.3. More important, since playback on software players can be unpredictable, can you try it to a BD-25 on a standalone player? This way has always worked for me. Full backup to BD-9 does not support PiP.

I have had sync problems with the main movie on "Drag Me to Hell". If I copy movie only it's in sync and if I do 1:1 (48GB) in sync, but if backup whole disc to 25 GB the movie is out of sync from the beging to the end. Any ideas?


I seem to be having the same problem, and I tried moving around the settings in the audio, but still nothing. Does anyone know how we may be able to fix this issue?

Thanks for the response. I going to to try PowerDVD as well just to be sure.

I don't understand why full backup to BD-9 does not support PiP and full backup to BD-25 does. What's the difference? Don't they both go through the same re-encoding routines only differing from the size ratios required?

Capsbackup

From a previous post:
A high probability is AVCHD does not support PiP.
If you burn that same backup to BD-RE, does it work properly?
Does this problem happen when you play it back to software player like PowerDVD / TMT, or on a standalone?

It certainly shouldn't since it only supports one video stream.

So its nothing your doing wrong, except you need to choose BD-25 if you want all the extras, PiP, etc... :)

You could burn your reencoded backup to BD-RE, and you would probable discover it now works. But to BD9, SOL. :p

Note: BD-RB does not support DTS Express secondary audio, only AC3 Plus.

This Title as a BD-25 plays Main Movie and HD audio just fine with TMT 3, but the PIP has that two different audio streams playing at same time problem and some menus and some extra features may hang. I've really never had much of any kind of playback problems occur with TMT 3, but not until I had tried this Movie. PowerDVD 9 plays the Main Movie quite well, and the PIP does not have that two audio streams playing, but it is not in snyc, as audio is about 5 seconds before the video. I also tried different setups with same results. Sorry, no standalone Player yet, but maybe somebody might be able to give it go.;)

By chance do you have multiAVCHD installed? This happened to me after I installed multiAVCHD and went away after I removed it. The audio sync problem made me look at what had changed since the last time I used BD-rebuilder.

Just for the record: multiAVCHD doesn't install/uninstall codecs, directshow filters and splitters, etc, nor will touch anything in the registry. It means that it can't possibly cause any conflicts/troubles as those described by you.

Don't they both go through the same re-encoding routines only differing from the size ratios required?PiP is supported on a full backup to BD-9. It isn't supported, as you might expect, on any movie-only backup. There are, though, a couple of DTS-Audio PiP sources though that I've seen result in completely silent audio on BD-9 while playing back on BD-25 with a Sony player. One is "The Day the Earth Stood Still". That one is almost certainly something in the player firmware -- because the exact same image plays correctly on BD-25.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a new version of BD-RB (v0.31.01). The changes for this release are:- Corrected an error in which some larger menus were
not being processed as such, and did not display
graphic overlays correctly.
- Corrected an error that can result in out-of-sync
audio and playback problems on some MPEG-2 sources
that use pulldown flags.
- Created two new hidden options that will allow a
user to tweak the X264 command line. The options
are "TWEAK_PASS_ONE=" AND "TWEAK_PASS_TWO=". Any
assigned options will be passed to and override
setting on the default command line. Note: Any
settings that could contradict BD standards are not
allowed to pass through to the command line.
- Added hidden option "KEEP_MBTREE". Normally BD-RB
removes the .stats.mbtree file after successful
encode. This will keep the (rather large) file so
additional passes might be done (manually).
- Corrected an error in the updating of the STN_table()
related to type of stream_entry(). This could be a
cause of issues on certain titles with PiP.
- Fixed an error in the calculation of the new sync
start PTS of some SubPlayItems.
- Corrected a glitch in BATCH mode so that Alternate
Playlists are recorded and used during batch.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1310).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Hi there, using 031.01 and trying to backup Tranformers_2.

Using Mode "Full Movie backup", if I select Target size BD-5 or BD-9 all the extras appear in the Stream Log window.

If I select BD-25 or Custom Target Size the extras disappear as if the Mode is set to "Movie-only backup"

The size of the MPEG 4 file is 45.2g.

I tried previous versions of BDRB they do the same thing. I've not see this before, nor have I seen anything in the forum.

Am I missing something here? Here is my ini file.

[Options]
MODE=0
TARGET_SIZE=23000
[Paths]
SOURCE_PATH=H:\BD MOVIES\TRANSFORMERS\TRANSFORMERS_2_D1_AC\
WORKING_PATH=H:\BD MOVIES\WORKING PATH\

cwhThat's because the extras are insignificantly small and are left alone (copied intact). Combined they add up to only about 350MB on that disc. It's supposed to do that. The disc will still be a full backup. It can't do intact file copying on BD-5/9 because the bitrate could be too high for those types of discs.

If you want to bypass this feature, see this option from the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file:

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=n n = minimum size required for BD-RB processing on BD-25 in MB, default is 100

I seem to be having the same problem, and I tried moving around the settings in the audio, but still nothing. Does anyone know how we may be able to fix this issue? I'll see if I can find that movie...

Perhaps I misinterpreted a previous post, but is full movie backups to BD5/9, including PiP and secondary audio, supported by standalone players as well as software players?

Do you think the latest BD-R version will address the audio issue I'm having. I'm re-encoding a BD-9 full backup with v0.31.01 right now.

And is there any special settings you can suggest that may solve my audio issue?

I'm trying to use BD-R as "turnkey" with standard settings to fully backup onto a DVD-DL which I know is stating the obvious since that why we are reporting potential bugs here.

For the last backups I've done, BD-R has been fantastic. Just completed the kids "ICE AGE 3" and it was a perfect dupe so I'm pretty confident with my settings -> just want to make sure I haven't missed any small tweaks that can address some of these particular BDs with higher audio and video track complexity in the main movie and extras (PiP,additional tracks, commentary, etc.).

Thanks

I have had sync problems with the main movie on "Drag Me to Hell". If I copy movie only it's in sync and if I do 1:1 (48GB) in sync, but if backup whole disc to 25 GB the movie is out of sync from the beging to the end. Any ideas?


I seem to be having the same problem, and I tried moving around the settings in the audio, but still nothing. Does anyone know how we may be able to fix this issue? Ok, guys. I need some help here. I did a full backup of "Drag Me to Hell" to BD-25 last night and it (both versions) is in perfect sync. You need to give me more details or I can't help you. What O/S are you using? What settings? What region are you in? How about the log and the INF file?

Thanks I can only tell you that v0.31.01 addresses audio problems related to MPEG-2 sources with pulldown. I haven't been able to replicate any other reported audio problems, and no one so far is giving me any useful details that might help find what is causing their problems. If I get a disc reported with issues and when I run it everything is fine (especially when I get no details) -- I always have to assume it is caused by "tinkering" and go on to the next problem.

I'm going to pick up a copy of "Monsters vs Aliens" this afternoon and see what it does for me.

I get your point and that's fair. When I complete the BD-9 on M vs. A's (estimate tomorrow morning), I'll let you know if I have better luck producing a BD-9 (fb) using TMT using v0.31. And I'll also post my O/S, Region, settings, INI, inf, and log file.

And thanks for trying to reproduce my problem.

@jdobbs,

Tried turning both on and off at the same time. If I understood you to mean "do not include DTS convert to AC3" and "Do not reencode AC3" for BD-9. And also turning on and off "Keep HD Audio for BD25 encoding" when I tried to re-encode for BD-25 ... for me I couldn't find a setting that made any difference to the output..

I've done M v A to bd-9 full disc and it works fine on a pc with TMT 3. However, it's one of those discs where the audio is unselectable when played on a sony sap.

When I did Royal Space Force last night I got an audio encode error.

Hope this helps if it is a bug.

Edit: One thing I came to think of was that I manually choosed which audio tracks to keep in the "stream" window as my default options didn't apply on this disc. My OS is a freshly installed Win7. I never had any problems before, but yet again it is freshly installed so I could have missed something.

Thanks for providing the Tweaks as hidden options. I tried it and it works well. :).
Now my question: If I do 1-pass crf encode, will the tweaks be applied for crf prediction pass as well?
I am asking because I set
TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--me umh --tune film
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--me umh --tune film
and got an oversize (BD5 movie only) which I never have experienced before. Therefore my question whether the tweaks are applied for the crf prediction pass (actually they should), or if not, if this could be the cause of the oversize?

I see the same oversize issue with TWEAK_PASS_TWO= --me umh --psy-rd 1:0 --direct-auto.

custom size 4555 MB = 4449 MB (4,455,xxx KB) without tweak with tweak 4489 MB (4,596,xxx KB).

I'll try to find another calculation that works consistently with tweak.

I might add a TWEAK_CRF=n for the next release.

I made a change to the CRF routine that rounds to the nearest .1 while looping (trying to reduce the number of passes). That's probably what caused the oversize. I'll go change it back.

Maybe im missing it or maybe it's feature request but is there any possibility to make a working bluray with menu. I want to rip all audio streams except one and i want to add one audio stream (cause i want to convert a PCM to DTS).

BD-RB (v0.31.01)
- Corrected an error that can result in out-of-sync
audio and playback problems on some MPEG-2 sources
that use pulldown flags.

Hi jdobbs! This was the fix for those Casablanca OOS extras, correct?

If so, I just tried to run it again & two of the problem vids were good on sync (0032 & 0051), but the other two vids (0033 & 0037) were just as OOS as before.

See ya!

Hmmm... , not sure if any rounding to .1 is the cause for the oversize. Here my sequence:

The steps are .01 rather than 0.1.
