You have to download from the links in the first post and you will get the required and approved versions automatically.

The words "FFDSHOW" and "Haali Matroska Splitter" are links to

It's output as 1080i25? Since BD has no support for 1080p25 and some movies are shot in 25fps here in Europe, authoring shops tend to encode progressive frames but flag them as 1080i25 to get round the limitation.
That's similar to DVD I assume: Progressive frames encoded/flagged as interlaced.
I would assume that such sources can be encoded as progressive by x264 using '--fake-interlaced'. I do this for DVD backups for example, and they play without issues on my SONY S360.
Encoding as interlaced with '--tff' (MBAFF) should also work, but in this case '--weightp' is not supported if I remember correctly.
It's more difficult when downscaling to 720. Blu-ray accepts progressive 23.976, 24.000, 50.000, 59.940 only, but not 25. So either one can apply frame duplication for 25fps progressive material, or apply '--pulldown double' which would be more efficient. I tried the latter without success. It seems that tsmuxer has a problem with it (frame playback sequence). Maybe someone else has a different experience. It's however going beyond the scope of this thread.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new release of BD-RB (v0.37.03). Changes for this release:- Corrected an error in which pulldown could be
incorrectly applied to a hybrid source.
- Fixed an error in which BFF (bottom field first)
MPEG-2 sources may not be correctly identified.
- Corrected an error in which 24fps sources that
were rebuilt for movie-only were not using the
correct muxing rate and as a result did not
have audio synchronization.
- Fixed a bug in which setting DEINTERLACE and
IVTC concurrently would cause an incorrect AVS
to be generated on a source with pulldown. As a
result, a nonsensical framerate and audio sync
problems would occur.
- Corrected the ALTERNATE/DVD output so it will
properly handle 24fps sources.
- Changed actions in combinations of resizing SD
to 1080p in combination with IVTC.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1867).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1867).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

If you select the "Deinterlace" option in the SETUP dialog the "--fake-interlaced" flag will be used for both 29.97fps and 25fps sources.

If you go back to first post. This is First point on thread.

1. Download and install FFDSHOW and the Haali Matroska Splitter. They are required for BD-RB to work and are free. After the install, run "Video Decoder Configuration" for FFDSHOW from the "START/Programs" menu, and make sure MPEG2 decoding is enabled. Do the same using "Audio Decoder Configuration" to ensure "Uncompressed" is set to "All Supported".

In that very post you will find two program you need. I have highlighted them here.

[Voyeurism]

I've just tried the latest build with New Moon, and the audio is still out of sync. I haven't tried Benjamin Button again yet, but assume the problem will still be there for that disc too.

[jdobbs]

I've just tried the latest build with New Moon, and the audio is still out of sync. I haven't tried Benjamin Button again yet, but assume the problem will still be there for that disc too.Tried it how? I'm not a mind reader... movie-only, full backup, Alternate output, DVD?

If you want things to get fixed you have to take the extra 30 seconds needed to describe your issue. You also can't expect me to start digging back through the pages to see what happened last time you posted. I went through all 7 of your previous posts and you have yet to have posted a single LOG, INF, or INI file. To me that's as much as saying "Ignore my post".

C'mon, throw me a bone here.

Sorry if I'm not posting the required information - let me know if there is anything else you require.

[jdobbs]

What are you using to play it back? Sometimes software players can cause desync. It's been a long, long time since a standard backup of an AVC HD source in movie-only has had sync problems. Can you also run INSPECT.EXE and post the results?

I'll pick up a copy of NEW_MOON and give it a test run.

I originally noticed the sync while watching a burned copy of the rebuilt BD5, played back on my PS3. Since I noticed it, I have been using VLC after the rebuild to play the m2ts file that BD-RB outputs so that I can check the audio before burning to disc.

Since first noticing the sync problem I've done about 4-5 rebuilds of other discs using exactly the same settings (I assume - I never touch any of them) which have worked without any sync problems. "New Moon" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" are the only discs I've experienced it with so far.

@jdobbs;
I can confirm on my end that BD-RBV03703 corrects the IVTC/DECOMB problem on mpeg2 files that could make the audio go out of sync. :)
I see the avs created reflects (Telecide(order=1) Decimate() ).
Suprising to me is that the visual quality is improved noticeably on what is a pretty low quality original, and is better than just keeping it interlaced or using Decomb to deinterlace it. ( pending the original source! )
So congrats and thank you for such a quick find and fix. :cool:

So congrats and thank you for such a quick find and fix. :cool: Just as a note, I'm including SmoothDeinterlacer() as an option for deinterlacing in the next release. I've found that on some sources it can make a considerable difference. I've also added a deinterlacing option that leaves the source alone -- but adds "fake-interlaced" to the command line for sources that are actually progressive but are marked as interlaced to meet the standard.

Try either removing the subtitles or not resizing to 720. Does it work then?

I think it's the subtitles, or at least I remember reading something regarding subtitles and resizing to 720P.
You could try to resize to 720P but remove the subtitles from the backup and see if it works. :cool:

As with almost all errors of this nature, uninstalling Avisynth, ffdshow and haali, delete the program folder for haali, reboot and reinstall those three apps from page one of this thread.
If you have any other codec packs installed, either uninstall them or invite problems like this again. :(

[jdobbs]

Thanks for the advice. Yes. There are some subtitles that simply won't resize and TSMUXER fails. Don't know why.

I'm sorry to mention this................. but I am trying to back up the pacific series which has ( I know) secondry audio dts

i just wish i could get to do it but i can't
i've tried sorry to mention dvdfab but its worked on the first three disc's

An experimental version of the secondary DTS-Express code will be in the next release. You will be able to enable the function with a hidden option.

Excellent, very exciting! :D
Will this release also include IGS menu support?

[jdobbs]

Will this release also include IGS menu support? Yes, it's actually the same code that supports both. Remember, though, it'll still be experimental (interpret that as "use a BD-RE").

[Capsbackup]

Yes, it's actually the same code that supports both. Remember, though, it'll still be experimental (interpret that as "use a BD-RE").

Will do! :p
I have 4 BD-RE's and several Blu-rays with DTS Express secondary audio, so I will be running many tests and will let you know my results. :)

I assume that you checked the sync throught the movie - on my rebuild it seems to get more out of sync towards the end?

If so I guess it must be something to do with my setup - any suggestions on where to start looking?

Hi jdobbs, my definition of "works", appears to be the same as yours as i prefer to use "bd reb' "as the quality of back-up is excellent, it's just i wanted all the features on the disc's which includes the dts-express secondry audio, so it is great news that you will put out an experimental version in the next release.
great work keep it up:thanks:

[jdobbs]

If so I guess it must be something to do with my setup - any suggestions on where to start looking? I did. It syncs all the way through.

[Voyeurism]

Ok, thanks for confirming.

I demuxed the rebuilt m2ts file and checked the properties for the video and two audio streams - both audio streams are roughly 2 seconds longer than the video stream. This suggests to me that the problem is with the frame rate of the video stream, although I don't know why. I've uninstalled Avisynth, Ffdshow, Haali, and removed BD-RB then redownloaded and reinstalled everything and left it running on NEW_MOON while I'm at work.

I realise this isn't a support thread, but if this doesn't work, do you have any thoughts on what the issue could be, or things I could try? I must admit I don't really know much about digital video so I mostly just leave everything on he default settings - I'm at a bit of a loss here, now that I know the problem is not with BD-RB.

What is the framerate of the demuxed reencoded video?


Since you demuxed the files, did you try to mux the reencoded video with the demuxed audio from the original disc (untouched, not reencoded)? This way you can narrow it down to a video or audio problem causing the sync issue.

[Voyeurism]

What is the framerate of the demuxed reencoded video?

I was under the impression that the demuxed video stream (which is a .264 file) did not have a "framerate" as such, since tsmuxer requires you to specify a framerate for h264 video because it can't determine it from the video stream itself. If this is incorrect, how do I find the framerate of the demuxed video stream?

MediaInfoRaw, dgavcdec, and DGMPGDEC (for mpeg2 ) will give you that info. :cool:

I realise this isn't a support thread, but if this doesn't work, do you have any thoughts on what the issue could be, or things I could try? I must admit I don't really know much about digital video so I mostly just leave everything on he default settings - I'm at a bit of a loss here, now that I know the problem is not with BD-RB. My guess would be CODEC issues... something on your system is likely interfering with BD-RB or one of it's support apps. The code is the code and has to work the same way on any computer.

Hey jdobbs,

any plans on getting to 3D blu-ray processing soon?

Thanks :)

@jdobbs

Just picking up on the various discussions regarding "The Expendables" (PAL) in December i'm having major issues with this one converting to Movie Only 9GB output. When I ran it with the last but one version of BD Rebuilder around a third the way in it branches out to the Directors commentary and the audio goes way out of sync. I tried it again with the current version and now I get no audio at all but with the same branching problem at exactly the same point. I can send you the log file if that would help but i'm guessing from the previous posts you are familiar with the structure of this one - loads of m2ts's in the main movie playlist!

[Sicilian]

I have searched this thread, but cannot find an answer to my question. I have successfully backed up about 50 movies with this program. However, every once in a while I will burn a disc that plays perfectly except for the audio. All the menus and functions are there, but the main movie has no audio at all.

To add to my confusion, I can play the created folder with TMT5, and the problem does not exist. This only happens with the burned discs on my player. I have a Sony BDP-S350. I have the latest firmware update, as well.

The last movie that this happened with was Bourne Identity. I backed up to a BD-5 and burned with Imgburn. I used version 3701.

Let me know what I need to post to help answer this bug question.

This problem happens only with movies that have PiP, backups are made to BD5/9 media and seems to be more of an issue with Sony players. This same backup, if burned to BD-R/RE would work perfectly, except of course no secondary audio if it is DTS Express. ( The Bourne Identity has DTS Express )

[worknstiff]

I have to wonder what kind of quality a "FULL" Bourne Identity (118 minutes) backup to BD-5 would look like? I recently did the "Once Upon A Time In America", and it runs just shy of 4 hrs, and backed it up to a "Movie Only" BD-9. Granted the movie has a soft and fuzzy look to it especially in the dark interior scenes but when comparing it to the original I can see some occasional ringing and halos in it. I have noticed in a few movies lately that the backups have slight problems in dimly lit scenes that contain fog or smoke. I don't know if this is inherent in the h264 codec or in the tighter compression being used for these longer titles? I am redoing "OUATIA" this time to a BD-25 "Movie Only", but which is preferable for "ONE PASS" if you don't use the automatic settings, "CBR or ABR"? Thanks for the help and to jdobbs for the great program.

Thanks for the help and to jdobbs for the great program. While X264 is an incredible program -- the bottom line is that 4 hours is probably just too much for a backup to BD-9. You can do it and it isn't actually bad looking, but you'll lose some quality. These days with BD-9s down around 40 cents apiece and BDs at around a dollar, I typically do movie-only backups to BD-9 and full backups to BD-25. That way I'm satisfied that the backup is just as good as the original.

Generally CRF is superior to one pass ABR -- but it has to estimate its output, so you might over/undersize. Two pass is a way to always ensure you are getting the best quality in space available, and if quality is your goal, why choose between to modes that are both inferior to two-pass?

The thing is, though, that sometimes at high bitrates (like on a BD-25) you can't see the difference between any of the modes. That's why I still recommend "Automatic" -- it adjusts depending upon the target, is based on a lot of encoding experience, and almost always gives you the best balance of encoding time to quality output.

[jdobbs]

Yes, it's actually the same code that supports both. Remember, though, it'll still be experimental (interpret that as "use a BD-RE").

Will do! :p
I have 4 BD-RE's and several Blu-rays with DTS Express secondary audio, so I will be running many tests and will let you know my results. :)Well... this isn't going well. I just ran into some issues that may take some time. It may not be in the next release.

[drmih]

Well... this isn't going well. I just ran into some issues that may take some time. It may not be in the next release.

I have also been keeping dts express images put aside for testing (about 20 or 30), so if you want to collect a lot of data using a 'beta' which may not work very reliably, I'm happy to run a version on a secondary machine for you to avoid the loads of replies you'll get in this thread from an unstable version.

[Voyeurism]

Ok, the results are in - apologies for the length of this post, but I think some of this is pretty interesting.

Remuxing (to m2ts, using tsmuxer) the demuxed reencoded video with the demuxed untouched DTS audio track still results in the audio being out of sync, although it seems that perhaps it is less out of sync than with the reencoded audio - I don't have a particularly scientific method of measuring that. Per Video Dude's logic this would mean the problem lies with the reencoded video. However...

DGAVCIndex shows the framerate of the demuxed reencoded as 23.976024 fps:

http://i55.tinypic.com/ftodj9.png

This is exactly the same as the demuxed original video stream, which would suggest there is no problem with the framerate of the reencoded video.

So what's the problem? Assuming it was the audio that was the wrong length, I decided to check the length of all the tracks - I remuxed the video and audio from the untouched m2ts into an mkv container so that I could open them in Quicktime on my Macbook (this is the only way I know of getting this info). I also did the same with the reencoded video and audio streams. The results (untouched streams on the bottom) are:

http://i51.tinypic.com/eu3ocg.png

So it looks like BD-RB is dealing with each stream properly, and for some reason the fact that the video stream is ~2 secs shorter than the audio streams matters for the rebuilt BD-5, but not for the original Bluray.

At some point in my investigations I also figured it would be a good idea to count the frames in each video stream - I couldn't work out how to do this in any of the software I had installed, but I noticed that BD-RB put this information into the log file for each encode - so I loaded the rebuilt BD-5 into BD-RB as a source, and set it running. The relevant sections from the log files are:

And what do you know, it's gained some (22) frames as well. This can't be a coincidence, but I don't know enough about how any of these programs work to be able to work out what the cause is. I'm now hoping that someone will be able to interpret this information and tell me what's going on here, since I'm starting to go a little crazy.

[jdobbs]

Ok... here's a riddle. Why is it only happening to you?

[Voyeurism]

Right - I'm not an idiot, I understand that you think there is an issue with the codecs on my system or something is interfering with BD-RB or its supporting applications. Since I don't know what that issue is, or what is interfering with BD-RB, I can either reformat my system drive and reinstall the OS or I can try to ascertain what the problem is. I had hoped that I could obtain some help in finding the problem, given that you and others posting in this thread clearly have a far better understanding of what these programs are actually doing than I do, but if you don't want to help me then I guess that's your prerogative - others had made posts which indicated that they were interested in helping.

It just seems like a strange attitude for someone to have when they're relying on the help of others in identifying and isolating bugs in software which they produce - even if the issue is a conflict with something else installed on my system it seems like a very subjective view to take that the issue is really that "'software x' is interfering with BD-RB", rather than "BD-RB doesn't function properly if 'software x' is installed". If you're expecting every user of your software to run it on a dedicated box with just the bare OS installed, good luck with that.

[omegaman7]

Voyeurism, there really shouldn't be a need for a complete reformat. That's a rare occurrence indeed. That's a last resort. First resort being removing completely, everything pertaining to video/audio codecs. My dedicated machine has zero codec packs installed. I've never had any problems playing any file on that machine either. I know damn little about this stuff. I just understand at a Subconscious level, that having extra codecs/things installed, could wreak havoc with almost any encoder. Including the ability to play files. Perhaps a setting is simply mucked up somewhere. Reinstalling the necessary software will no doubt correct the issue. If that is indeed the issue. If not, perhaps something in the registry is screwy.

I have not reformatted either of my machines in well over a year. I prefer a dedicated machine, because it takes a great deal of time to encode. Even for a quad core. Heck, even a 6core machine gets it's a$$ handed to it LOL!

[Sicilian]

This problem happens only with movies that have PiP, backups are made to BD5/9 media and seems to be more of an issue with Sony players. This same backup, if burned to BD-R/RE would work perfectly, except of course no secondary audio if it is DTS Express. ( The Bourne Identity has DTS Express )


I hope there is a work-around to this. If I can remember, this has happened even with movie-only backups (I could be wrong though). I really didn't want to invest in a BD-R burner at this time.

[worknstiff]

Quote: Jdobbs---Two pass is a way to always ensure you are getting the best quality in space available.

I guess that was the true answer I was looking for, that if you want the best quality, then using 2 pass is the best. thanks for your input. I am really pleased with the quality of most of my copys but when you start putting too much time on one disk you do find limitations. Just like encoding time vs encoding quality. What a world, the devil really is in the details with trade offs and compromises everywhere.

@Voyeurism: I feel your pain! There is nothing like have a computer conundrum to make you feel like the world and everyone in it is against you, lol. I had a few weird things happen when I first started playing around with BD_Rebuilder. I had the audio sync problems with only a few titles, and I spent a long time trying to fix them because the encoding time spent felt like such a waste. I don't know what kind of system you have but I have a Dual Core 6700 running @2.66 & 4GB running Vista 32bit on my encoding machine. I built a new system for my main use and use the Dual Core one only for encoding. I have the internet off and no AV or any background stuff like indexing running and still the CPU is maxed out and memory at 64%. When I only had one computer to use and tried surfing the internet and opening other apps I had weird problems on some of my encodes, but now I usually have no probs. I did in the past have sync issues with Benjamin Button, That Evening Sun, Ghost Writer, & Max & Me, but the latest BD_Rebuilder version fixed those problem disks, at least for me anyhow. You might could try putting the 2 hour or more movies on BD-9 disks instead of squeezing them on a BD-5. Your mileage may vary, lol. Good luck, Voyeurism

[Sicilian]

I have to wonder what kind of quality a "FULL" Bourne Identity (118 minutes) backup to BD-5 would look like? I recently did the "Once Upon A Time In America", and it runs just shy of 4 hrs, and backed it up to a "Movie Only" BD-9. Granted the movie has a soft and fuzzy look to it especially in the dark interior scenes but when comparing it to the original I can see some occasional ringing and halos in it. I have noticed in a few movies lately that the backups have slight problems in dimly lit scenes that contain fog or smoke. I don't know if this is inherent in the h264 codec or in the tighter compression being used for these longer titles? I am redoing "OUATIA" this time to a BD-25 "Movie Only", but which is preferable for "ONE PASS" if you don't use the automatic settings, "CBR or ABR"? Thanks for the help and to jdobbs for the great program.

I don't yet own a Blu-ray burner, so I have to rely on BD-5 and BD-9. I have found that using "automatic quality settings" to BD-9 works pretty well for any movie I have done. Granted my TV is a 5 year old 46" LCD with a lower contrast ratio, but all I really notice is some 'blocking' in low-action parts of the movie. The blocking is only noticeable where there are large areas of a single color - like a flat painted wall in the background.

I use BD-5's for movies that are a bit older, and were not made when Blu-ray or HDDVD were around. It seems like a BD-9 for a 2 hour movie from 1993 is just a waste, even for a full backup - I can hardly see a difference, if any. This is just my opinion, and I don't want to start a debate about this, as I know there are those who want a copy as close to the original as possible. I debated using a BD-5 for Bourne Identity, and decided to do it as a little experiment. It turned out very well - the h264 codec continues to amaze me!!!

[omegaman7]

I backed up Speed to BD-5 via Ripbot264 a while back. It looked wayy better than the original dvd :D

[Capsbackup]

I hope there is a work-around to this. If I can remember, this has happened even with movie-only backups (I could be wrong though). I really didn't want to invest in a BD-R burner at this time.

There is a work around for PiP titles, as long as they are not multi-m2ts titles. It requires the use of another program after BD-RB, multiAVCHD. ( for full backups ) Movie only should not be a problem.
However, I am not sure it is worth the time and effort, and I am certainly not promoting this. ( especially in this bug reports thread! ) Doing a movie only backup for these PiP titles, if burning to BD5/9 media, seems more reasonable and has higher compatibility among different players.
I think it is a bonus that we are even able to make such high quality backups from a 25GB to 50GB Blu-ray to DVD media! Accepting certain limitations for these type backups is only fair.
With the price of BD media becoming more reasonable, and Blu-ray burners soon to follow, I believe if one wants a closer representative backup of the original disc, using blu-ray media is the way to do it. ;)

[worknstiff]

@Capsbackup: Quote: I believe if one wants a closer representative backup of the original disc, using blu-ray media is the way to do it.

I am beginning to believe that this is the way to go if the BD-R's prices continue to fall, but I don't really see many specials on name brand disks. I am too scared to buy unknown quality (Memorex? Ridata?) in quantity untill I can find some locally but everything around town is still 2.50 and up per disk.

[Random42]

I'm having problems trying to get a copy of the first Tinkerbell Blu-ray that includes all the audio tracks. The intro in the beginning of the movie is missing, as is some of the characters talking, at least in the beginning 10 mins of the movie, as I didn't watch the whole thing to see. Anyways, I've tried selected both English audio tracks and it is still missing the same audio tracks. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

I am too scared to buy unknown quality (Memorex? Ridata?) in quantity untill I can find some locally but everything around town is still 2.50 and up per disk.

I have been using Memorex, same as Ridata, which has Ritek-BR2-00 Disc ID, and have had excellent results! :)

I'm having problems trying to get a copy of the first Tinkerbell Blu-ray that includes all the audio tracks. The intro in the beginning of the movie is missing, as is some of the characters talking, at least in the beginning 10 mins of the movie, as I didn't watch the whole thing to see. Anyways, I've tried selected both English audio tracks and it is still missing the same audio tracks. Anyone know what i'm doing wrong?


Have you tried looking under alternative playlist for a different version/playlist? Sometimes it can be as simple as choosing a different playlist. :cool:

[jdobbs]

Right - I'm not an idiot, I understand that you think there is an issue with the codecs on my system or something is interfering with BD-RB or its supporting applications. Since I don't know what that issue is, or what is interfering with BD-RB, I can either reformat my system drive and reinstall the OS or I can try to ascertain what the problem is. I had hoped that I could obtain some help in finding the problem, given that you and others posting in this thread clearly have a far better understanding of what these programs are actually doing than I do, but if you don't want to help me then I guess that's your prerogative - others had made posts which indicated that they were interested in helping.

It just seems like a strange attitude for someone to have when they're relying on the help of others in identifying and isolating bugs in software which they produce - even if the issue is a conflict with something else installed on my system it seems like a very subjective view to take that the issue is really that "'software x' is interfering with BD-RB", rather than "BD-RB doesn't function properly if 'software x' is installed". If you're expecting every user of your software to run it on a dedicated box with just the bare OS installed, good luck with that. The point is that this is a "bug thread" -- and while it would be interesting to find what is causing your problem, it isn't (at least from what I've see so far) a bug. In fact, if I read it right you are getting the error even if you bypass BD-RB alltogether.

The previous page of this thread was almost completely taken up by your post -- in other words, it's clogging up this thread.

As for the "strange attitude" -- you've got to be kidding me! WTF? I think your attitude is extremely strange. This is free software. Since donations are virtually non-existent, I'm putting in a lot of work with no return. In fair exchange for that free software, your part (and that of the others in this thread) is to report issues so I can fix them -- not complain about how your free ride isn't comfortable enough.

[jdobbs]

I hope there is a work-around to this. If I can remember, this has happened even with movie-only backups (I could be wrong though). I really didn't want to invest in a BD-R burner at this time. The problem is that the bug appears to be in the player, not the software. The weird combination is confusing it's playback on BD-9 full backups. If there's a workaround, I'm not aware of it.

It looks like there is only one playlist to choose from for Tinkerbell.

There is a work around for PiP titles, as long as they are not multi-m2ts titles. It requires the use of another program after BD-RB, multiAVCHD. ( for full backups ) Movie only should not be a problem.


Thanks for the info. I always go to www.blu-raystats.com (http://www.blu-raystats.com) for info on particular titles. However there is no info there on which titles are PiP.
So, what source did you use to find out this info? It would be nice to know not to waste my time with these titles until I decide to upgrade to a BD burner.

Thanks again!

Hope this is the right thread. I have been having trouble with full backups using default settings. I do however use a custom output setting of 24450MB. It usually trips up at the start of PHASE-TWO rebuild with an error message that a file is missing.

If I select the "Movie-Only: setting, the rebuild process does complete.

Hi!It looks like there is only one playlist to choose from for Tinkerbell.An original Disney Blu-ray disc with only one .MPLS ("Playlist") file? That is an EXTREMELY unlikely scenario...

Hi!An original Disney Blu-ray disc with only one .MPLS ("Playlist") file? That is an EXTREMELY unlikely scenario...

I'm sorry I could only find one on Tinkerbell, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place to select a playlist then. I went to Mode > Other Movie-Only Playlist, and I only see one there. If this is extremely unlikely, where do I need to go to select the other playlists?

@ Setarip_old: Quote: Hi! An original Disney Blu-ray disc with only one .MPLS ("Playlist") file? That is an EXTREMELY unlikely scenario...

I'm afraid Random42 has got you there Setarip_old, This is indeed a disk with "one" mpls for the movie only which is playlist 00053-- With a 1:18.04 run time and only two audio tracks to choose from, 001_LPCM (48kHz/24-bit & 002_AC3.

@Random42, If it was me I would use Clown_BD or multiAVCHD to build a movie only BD movie file which will allow you to convert the Audio to AC3 5.1, and then use BD_Rebuilder to get a iPad MP4 file. I think either you might have a bad rip or that BD_Rebuilder is choking on the 24-bit audio. But that is only my opinion, I don't do many iPad converts. I do every now and then use DvdFab 7 to create an mp4 to play on my EVO 4G, but that was before Jdobbs created the alternate output formats. I may have to try it some time but I still haven't had time to watch all the ones I have on my phone already, lol.

I use BDInfo on the ripped disc to see the contents. From there I decide what type of backup I wish to perform. :cool:

It looks like there is only one playlist to choose from for Tinkerbell. I'll pick up "Tinkerbell" and run a test on it.

[jdobbs]

@aacm

I've done that disc with no issues. Can you please post the output of INSPECT.EXE? It's located in the BD Rebuilder folder.

You're not doing any encoding for the movie-only backup. Also, I believe you should have also gotten error reports following the failure to build structure. Is there a reason why you didn't post that part of the LOG as well?

hi i got some troubles in encoding a movie... letahl weapon 3 i got troubles when i updated from 03604 to 03703 ... i was converting to bd 25 all the 4 movies of colelction of letahl weapon and when i started the 3rd film i got grey screen for the first 2 sec of movie in all files including extras... and during movie i noticed that also during the movie the screen goes grey for a while and then come back... i think its a troubles for itbc setting that i never used with previous version and now is selected by default ... if i deselct it i got black screen ine ncoding.... the source is vc1 at 29.970 frames.... really strange becuase im sure i converted alot of vc1 and never got this trouble... during conversion i gor the message itvc inverting telecining in effect.... as i repeat its not changed anything... i write also an email some days ago for this problem and got as response to try reinsatll all programs liek ffdshow and matrioska... i done this and still got troubles... i also reinstaleld win 7 64 bit to have system clean becuase i tought of a virus and the first program i reinstaleld was the ffd show and so on and started converting... and got same result...
i dont know why you ahve choosed byd efault the ivtc option...inver pull down is no necessary for blue ray movie but only for dvd.... blue ray goes to 30 frame so an invert telecining is useless...to eb sure is a problem of ivtc ic an confirm that i converted another movie piccolo diavolo of roberto benigni and is vc1 at 23,970 or something similar so pal version and i got no ivtc during conversion (i left selected the option) and got a pefect conversion to bd25... the troubles is that damnde invert telecining that hot video error conversion... why the previous version doesnt have it selected? and im sure the old version 034 or 035 doesnt have at all ivtc in setting....
i'm sue the problem is ivtc before my system is now cleaned and reinstalled and got same result... how can i fix this to have the conversion at same framerate with no black screen????if i deselct i got black screen and only audio...
inspect told me that all drivers are set correct before uninstalling i got avisynth updated to 261 i dont know why but now i reinstaleld correctly my win7 64bit and got same result only with this ivtc option....im sure i converted alot of vc1 movie before and alot of them was 29,970 frame... because all bd disc are at that frame rate...
there msut be something wrong with the new verision of bd rebuilder... the previous 2 movie lethal weapon 1 and 2 were converted using 03604 version and no ivtc option selected... so im sure now it depends from 03703... it's impossible that 2 movie of a box works fine and third movie got error in video encoding... the only thing changed is bd rebuilder... maybe can you check with lethal weapon 3 if you have????
thanks hope you can help me....

[omegaman7]

I can read it, but understanding the technical difficulty is another story...

[viking73]

its simple... the only thing sure is that with previous version of bd rebuilder i never got error in encoding... now since 03703 was out with invert telecining option set by default i got troubles in encoding letahl weapon... maybe i think bdrb wants to pull down frame to pal standard and its useless because bd normally have 29,97 frames.... i never changed anything in my system and now since this beta is out i got error! tomorrow i will try to encode another bd this time an avc video instead of a vc1! roberto ebnigni's movie piccolo diavolo was converted right with no issue but it was 24 frames vc1. the troubles i think comes from pull down.... previous version doesnt have ivyc option and i never got any error in over 50 movie converted to bd25 size... i hope that they will solve this issue and make another beta without ivtc option useless.... if i disable i got black screen in encoded video! so i forced to keep it but got issue in encoding...
hope someone can explain me why this happens... i repeat im on win 7 64 bit and i use an imac 2,80 ghz dual core with ati radeon xt2600 graphic card....
thx....

I had x264.exe crash during a rebuild, so I had BD-RB "Abort," then closed it, then rebooted since the pc had been on for days, and when I tried to resume, BD-RB asks if I want to delete the non-empty working folder, I click "no", and it comes to a dead stop, "aborted by user." I thought it was generally able to pick up where it left off, at least it always had in the past. Is this normal?

[omegaman7]

Rather than take a chance resuming, I just tell it to delete files, and start over. Why take a chance and have it muck things up. Though I do trust Dvd rebuilder to resume. One day, I will trust BD rebuilder, but not yet. At least in this respect ;)

One day I will understand, but currently, I do not understand the following terms:
Telecining
Pulldown
IVTC

@ A.Fenderson Quote: I thought it was generally able to pick up where it left off, at least it always had in the past. Is this normal?

When ever I have had a crash or a power failure and have to restart BD_Rebuilder, I make sure that the encoding parameters (ie: playlist, audio & subs) are "EXACTLY" the same as when BD_RD was running before. When I click resume it will go to the last completed stage and then continue. If doing movie only with just one mpls in the playlist it will go back and restart at PASS 2 even if it was almost finished with PASS 2. Are you saying that when you resume BD_RB it will restart at "EXACTLY" where it crashed? I wish mine would do that! I recently had a power failure and was 8 hrs into a rebuild and had to restart pass 2 for another 8 hrs. But it at least didn't make me redo pass 1, so the "RESUME" does work and save some time, thanks to this feature.

[Sharc]

@jdobbs
Not that it really matters but when backing up in Alternate Output Mode to mpeg-2 DVD the log reports
- Convert: 1280x720, 23.976fps, 12'542 frames
The source is 1920 x 1080 23.976fps and the DVD target is 720 x 576, 25fps (for PAL) so the log is a bit irritating.

The whole purpose of asking that question is to ensure you don't "accidentally" delete your working folder and restart when that wasn't your intention.

All I have is praise for this software. I have done about 10 movies - mainly BD-5 and a few BD-9. Yesterday I did Transformers II to BD-25. I kept the original HD Audio track (no downmixing to AC3). The main movie without the extras is 39.7Gb. The process took 7.5 hours and the end result was undistinguishible from the original. All my other back ups have been perfect too - playable on the PC and a PS2. jdobbs - thank you for your efforts and dedication. A donation will be forthcoming.

[sonate]

First of all, J Dobbs, much appreciation for your efforts, I can't tell you how well DVD RB has worked out for me.

At any rate, with BD RB, I only compress to what will fit on a 25 Gb BD, never to a DVD. I have tried the automatic as well as high quality encoder settings when I try to make a complete disk backup, removing only extraneous audio and subtitle tracks. In every case when the resulting BD rom is played on the standalone Sony player, motion is not smooth though the audio seems to be in perfect synch and the image is crystal clear. Could there be a problem with some of the settings I'm using? Much appreciation for any help you can give me...Greg

hi i got some troubles in encoding a movie... letahl weapon 3 i got troubles when i updated from 03604 to 03703...


ive seen another instance when ripping the lethal weapon set with and old version of dvdfab causes corruption at the start of the video. If this is the case then update to the latest version of Fab and rerip.

sorry i dont explained it well... i reinstalled win7 abd then i installed the right version of your codec in the first post... inspect.exe result in ok to all codec and set correctly... but when i encode lethal weapon 3 which is vc1 29,97 frames i got this issue... so now i must assume that the people who backup this movie made a mistake because a friedn of mine told me that standard for blue ray is 24 frames as the origianl source!
how can i solve this issue? i dont have a codec issue... they are all set correct and installed in the right way...
when i start encoding the movie i got "invert telecining in effect" in the log box on every extra and main movie

here is what i get from insepct.exe....

[sonate]

J D, NTSC.

Additionally let me ask you this, in FFDshow, Should the decoder setting for VC1 be set to WM9 or set to disabled? In terms of a 75% compression, would the results achieved from the high quality setting be much better than the good quality setting on a 46in screen? And how would this compare with the high speed option?

[jdobbs]

In terms of a 75% compression, would the results achieved from the high quality setting be much better than the good quality setting on a 46in screen? And how would this compare with the high speed option? If you are using Windows 7 it should be set to "wmv9". If you are using Windows XP and you have WMP 11 installed, set it to "disabled". For Windows XP and any other version of WMP, set it to "wmv9".

By 75% do you mean reducing it by 75% (to 25% of its original size) or reducing it to 75% of its original size? If you mean the latter (and original BD sizes), you could likely use the fastest mode available with one pass and not see the difference.

[sonate]

The later, reducing the size by 25%. By the fastest option, do you mean "Good" or "High speed" since the end result will always be a bd-25

But there are some which require almost 50% and I would appreciate your advice here as which setting provides high quality results.

About the slow motion effect, would that be a problem caused by using wm9 instead of wm11? How about anything in the set up configuration for general or video encoding? Or should I check to see if there is a problem in the HDMI sync between BD player and TV? Everything else plays fine though.

This is off topic ..... I plan on upgrading my system to an icore 7 within a few months. Is the latest DVD RB still available for download through my email acct?

[jdobbs]

It really depends on the resulting bitrate. 50% doesn't really mean anything by itself -- you'd have to consider "50% of what". For example, you might have a 2 hour movie that was encoded at an extraordinarily high bitate -- and you could reduce that to 50% of it original size with the highest speeds and see no quality loss. But what if you had 6 hours of content on the original? See what I mean? That's why I created the "Automatic" setting. That way the program looks at the total time and the resulting bitrates -- and it determines the best settings.

I don't think slo-mo would be a result of the CODEC uses (wmv9 or wm11). It would more likely indicate a wrong framerate.

DVD-RB is always available for download if you're a registered VIP. You can either go to the site (http://www.jdobbs.com/Pages/DVDRebuilder/DVD-RB_Pro_download.htm) directly, or send an e-mail to dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com and I'll send you a new notification with download links.

[A.Fenderson]

If it asks you that question, it means the settings aren't the same as when you started the encode and it whould have to start over for the new settings to have effect. If you say "No", you are saying you don't want it to continue in that process. If you desire, you can then change your settings to match those used for the original encode, and it will pick up where it left off. The whole purpose of asking that question is to ensure you don't "accidentally" delete your working folder and restart when that wasn't your intention.

Gotcha. I didn't change any settings between starting the encode and attempting to resume it. X264 crashed, I aborted and closed BD-RB, rebooted, then attempted to restart the rebuild immediately--nothing else was done in BD-RB or otherwise on the PC between the abort/close and attempting to restart the build. I tried again moments later, same thing. I tried again just now (after not having opened BD-RB since then), same thing. If they're of any help, INF and LOG are below:

with previous version of bd rebuilder 03604 ivtc option was deselected by default and i converted alot of bd with no problem... when i started the new 03703 i notice immediately the option ivtc selected and if i disable i got black screen in encoding (only audio) and i noticed a very fast speed encoding (about 400 frame/sec instead on normal 20 30 when selected) i converted a roberto benigni movie and got no problem (was vc1 24 frame) and no ivtc message during encoding even if the option was selected!
i really wondering what the hell could be happened with this movie ... if you find the disc and try let me know... lethal weapon 3 (from boxset of 4 movie) euro version for sure (it has alot of languages) i will try to download the 4th movie and check what's happened.... if you think it could be helpful i can re download the first or second movie that i just converted using 03604 version and try to reencode with new version.... if i got error it must be bd rebuilder for sure because as you can see the system is right configured and win 7 is just reinstalled and clean... however if there is a ay to clean registry and try to restart bd rebuilder let me know and i will try ok? thx...

Since BD-RB is designed to be used on original Blu-ray discs, ripped preferably with AnyDVD HD, or DVDFab if you must, your situation suggests either a preprocessed disc or an illegally obtained download. Both are not what jdobbs has made clear are acceptable sources! :rolleyes:

let me know if someone experienced something similar thanks again and sorry for my bad english Ok... if you are downloading them -- THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL MOVIES! You are violating the rules of this bug reporting thread, and are also violating rule 6 of this forum -- strike issued.

Here is the bottom line. If you aren't physically inserting a disc into your drive, ripping it yourself, and running BD-RB against the output -- you are NOT TO POST IN THIS THREAD. If you download ANYTHING you get what you get... and if you read through this forum you'll see that THAT IS ALMOST ALWAYS WHERE THE PROBLEM IS.

Continue posting these types of "bugs" and you will get additional strikes and eventual inability to participate in this forum. You have been warned.

i dont know about that rule i hosted my disc on server because i dont have space to keep them all...
They were ripped from original discs.... and get this trouble... used anydvd to extract them and backuped on server... but are mine files!!! I
keep them in original size but for playing on bd reader i reduce to bd25... hope i explained now.... sorry for misunderstanding....
However the issue still remains! now im getting back the 2nd movie to rencode and check if there is a bug in the new version .
As you can see my system is right configured and drivers set correctly.

Not to be big daddy, but I am confused which one of them is correct one. In one post you say your downloading in another one you are saying there are my own disc.

To be honest if I was in place of Jdobbs, I won't even trust you anymore. By the way you won't get help unless orginial are used any by that I mean not renting them and making backup.

[jdobbs]

Add to that the fact that he says he is in a PAL country -- but somehow has a 29.97fps extra on his disc (which is an NTSC signal standard). That doesn't sound right to me.

BDs sometimes use that resolution for extras (they just lift them off the DVD) -- not in Italy, though.

[viking73]

alot of movies are token from friends of mine we got alot of movies bought from internet with italian language included... alot of them have 29 97 in extra but movie is 24 frames....... the main thing is that we bought them maybe some by me and some by friend... sorry for the rule 6 i didnt know... vey sorry....

I'm having problems backing up 2 out of 3 movies from my Aliens triple pack. Aliens (2nd movie) encodes fine and maintains a proper aspect ratio and displays in widescreen. For some reason no matter what settings i check/uncheck in setup alien and alien 3 come out with a 4:3 aspect ratio.

The weird thing is that if i encode just a snip of the movie, it encodes and comes out properly at 16:9 with letterboxing. But if i run the whole movie through it seems like it's disreguarding any of the info I pass even if I try tossing a custom AVS at it.

I'm rather baffled at this point. Are the anamorphic properties throwing it off somewhere during the encode? Is it just improperly reading and then setting the tag for the aspect ratio?

Below are two image examples of what I mean. First one is the original, second one is the re-code.

Let me know what addition info you may need on this one.

*edit it says the attachements are pending approval so im not sure if you can see them to grab them.

MPEG-2... 720x480? Sorry -- but that isn't an original disc. I have no idea how it has been screwed in the preprocessing and I can't help you.

[Nalios]

It is from an original disc.. I ripped from disc and restructered as bdmv to pass thru bd rebuilder.. is this not allowed?

[Video Dude]

Alien Triple Pack is a DVD box set which would explain the MPEG-2 720x480 and the 4.5GB input size.
Alien Anthology is the Blu-ray version.


I ripped from disc and restructered as bdmv to pass thru bd rebuilder.. is this not allowed?
If you own the original disc, yes.
But jdobbs does not support processed sources. Usually the third party software introduces the bug, and is not the fault of BD-RB.

[Nalios]

Yes I do own the disc. Did not realize about processed sources tho. Sorry to take up your time jdobbs. Appreciate the replies.

[jdobbs]

It is from an original disc.. I ripped from disc and restructered as bdmv to pass thru bd rebuilder.. is this not allowed? You "restructured". That is preprocessing. I'm guessing that you used multiAVCHD to convert a DVD to BDMV format. The problem is that sometimes multiAVCHD sets the aspect ratio wrong in the CLPI of its output (I've had it happen to me). So when BD-RB reads it -- it is already incorrect.

In other words -- the problem is there before BD-RB even reads it -- and it is not a bug.

This is what I mean by "preprocessing" -- when you are working with anything other than an original BD, I cannot respond to bug reports because I never know what has happened to the source before it gets to BD-RB.

[Nalios]

Nope. Just used TsMuxer to toss it into a bd-structure. But totally understandable, it may well be TsMuxer's fault. Again thanks for the replies.

I ripped "Dinner for Schmucks" using AnyDVD Ripper. Everytime I run BDR on it I get the following error:

AFTEN fails and I get a windows XP message that the program must be closed.

Help! Thanks Try to open up that AVS with either Media Player Classic or WMP and see what kind of error you might get.

[torque2k]

Not to belittle anyone here... jdobbs, you have the patience of Job. :rolleyes:

Thanks for putting up with all of us, and sticking with the development of this program. I actually like following this thread now, because it helps me take a good long look at things when the poop hits the fan!

On that note, one quick question (hehe): I was backing up a multi-episode anime disc last night, and it hung in pass 1 of 1 while reencoding with this error:
"Error in attempt to extract audio/subs" (this was VID_00039)

To which I replied: F. Then I just shut down the machine to deal with it later.

So I turned my system back on today and just started again, doing a continuation of the backup. Phase one started at VID_00040. Does this mean it has skipped VID_00039, then? Should I have just started over from scratch?

As an addendum to the first post in this thread, as we're now up to 500+ pages, could you put a small "troubleshooting" item at the end of that first post? Like, "Run INSPECT.EXE, post results, as well as blahblahblah.log files located here and here"? I know one of these many pages I've read has what you've suggested we need to post. I think it may help us to help you if we knew exactly what you'd like us to post, and it would be obvious to have it there.

Just a thought. I'll wait for your response before digging up all of the log files for the above issue. Note that I haven't played back the finished backup, as it's still under way.

[Capsbackup]

@torque2k;
if you look inside the Workfiles folder, you can see if there is a VID_00039.avs.264 file. If so, see if there is a 00039.m2ts file in the completed BDMV/Streams folder.
If not, see if there is a VID_00039.avs file created. If so, see if you can open that file with MPC.

Aw, crud! I have the option "Remove workfiles after rebuild" checked, and I just read your message AFTER the end of the rebuild. Well, I'll have to play back VID_00039.m2ts from the rebuild tomorrow to see if the audio is there and in sync (yes, it exists). Size is about right, but we'll see.

Thanks much!

[MCnDaHouse]

Try to open up that AVS with either Media Player Classic or WMP and see what kind of error you might get.

I assume that is the 00026 file under BDMV/STREAM which it's trying to separate the video and audio and work with each.

Anyway WMP (ver 9) says that it doesn't recognize the file extension but might play it anyway which it does. I did an open with using "media player" (which I assume is classic media player) and it says "cannot determine device type from the given filename extension".

Nero Showtime plays it too.

Any ideas. Thanks!

AUD_00026__4352.AVS

That's the one your log references in the error message. If it is good it should play back the audio (only).

Media Player Classic is included with BD Rebuilder. You can find it in the BD-RB folder under "TOOLS\MPC"

[dfsooner]

I have a number of selections I have authored with TMPgenc Authoring Works 4 (football games, actually) where I have created menus to select by quarters. When I compress them with BD_Rebuilder the menus no longer function. The m2ts files are compressed fine, however, (along with the menu file which is also m2ts).

TMPgenc reencodes all the original video to AVC.

The original plays fine with TMT3, but the reduced copy does not.

Is it your intention to make bd_rb work with selections not authored by the movie houses? If not, I understand.

One thing I did notice when comparing the before and after with BDedit is that the .clpi file for the BD-RB output is missing the IG stream. I believe this has the menu items.

[jdobbs]

Nope... my intent is to make it work with anything that complies with the BD standard. You are referring to what I believe is a known issue (which happens, but not often). It is likely that TMPEGEnc Authoring Works created the menu with the IGS in-mux. That's pretty rare on commercial discs. Currently TSMUXER does not handle IGS streams. I am working on a "remuxing" algorithm that will retrieve the IGS from the original and reintegrate it into the TSMUXER output. I was hoping to have this completed for the next release -- but honestly it isn't going very well, so I don't know if it will be there yet.

When I try to play it with WMP I get:
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The file is either corrupt or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play."

With Media Player Classic I get:
"cannot render the file"

Do I have a bad rip or is something not configured correctly?

Thanks

Does the problem also impact on the work to remux DTS-Express tracks?

[IVaN_000]

Does the problem also impact on the work to remux DTS-Express tracks?

I'm currently not buying any Sony BD, because of the impossibility to back them up (most of them have a DTS Express track). My guess is when BD Rebuilder gets that feature, Sony will get a sales boost. :cool:

Oh, I forgot about Cinavia. Now I guess the sales boost won't happen soon. :p

ThanksInteresting. You might need to configure FFDSHOW to play back RAW audio. You can do that by selecting "all aupported" under "Uncompressed" in the FFDSHOW audio configuration utility.

If that isn't it -- then it just might be that something actully is corrupted in the audio source.

Also -- can you open that .AVS with notepad and past the contents? At least then I can see if ther is something unusual going on.

Well, even though I didn't have my workfiles, the resultant 00039.m2ts track played back perfectly! So I thought, excellent, no extra work necessary!

Popped it into ImgBurn to run it out to BD-R... too large. Went over 25GB by about a half gig.

This anime (Samurai 7, Disc 1) is one I left the TRUE_HD multi-channel audio enabled for both the Japanese and English tracks. I also had the subtitles left in English. AUD_001 was English, AUD_002 was Japanese.

I rebuilt it today, but I disabled the Japanese audio, and it rebuilt perfectly, burned fine, and is playing as I type, no hiccups on VID_00039 this time.

Bah... I never listen to those things in Japanese, anyway. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the assist! Yet another tool tip for troubleshooting.

OK, FFDSHOW is already set for all supported under Uncompressed.

Another revelation, I opened the file with notepad and it was blank. I looked at the file size and it is zero. So when it pulled the audio out it failed before it wrote anything. Sorry I overlooked that originally.

In my experience, I keep the Workfiles folder and only delete it after I am certain my backup is satisfactory. There have been many times when I want to tweak a certain file, and then rebuild again, and by keeping it I save myself from doing another complete backup! :)

Sorry I overlooked that originally.??? It writes that AVS file before it even attempts the encode? That means it had to have failed in its attempt to create the AVS file...

I can't think of anything that could cause that?

[jdobbs]

Jdobbs, I'm trying to backup Generation Kill Disc 1. When attempting a full backup, it lists "Approximate Source Content" at over six hours, when there is only a little over three hours. I've verified this using readmpls.exe. It looks to me as though the amount is doubled. When attempting to run the backup process, the bitrates end up being almost halved what they should be and I get a severely undersized output (around 16gb).


Any ideas?

Note: I'm using the correct versions of each software from your first post. Can you give me some specifics? I just loaded "Generation Kill" Disc 1 -- and it says "3:34:06.358" as the total time.

[jdobbs]

I checked the length of each episode. It's not doubling exactly, it's adding an hour to each episode(playlist).

IE: Length of all episodes combined is 3:34. It's showing 6:34 as "approximate source content".

If I select "movie-only" and use "other movie playlist", and select one episode, it will add one hour on top of the original length.

Hope this helps. Following up on the last post -- I also tried this... and it is telling me the correct times for each episode.

This isn't a preprocessed source is it?

[jdobbs]

Yes I do own the disc. Did not realize about processed sources tho. Sorry to take up your time jdobbs. Appreciate the replies. Just thought I'd expand on the issue you reported so you didn't think I'm ignoring a bug.

The problem is that on a DVD, since the IFO parameters take precedence, sometimes the stream is encoded with the wrong A/R -- but it doesn't show in playback. I've seen a few commercial discs that say "4:3" in the sequence header of the stream itself, but are played at 16:9 just because the IFO overrides it. I think it is because some cheaper authoring packages didn't support 16:9 and wouldn't import it, so the authors just lied to it by encoding a 16:9 source at 4:3, and then patched the IFO after-the-fact to get around it. I remember having doing that myself a time or two with "SpruceUp".

What I think is happening in your case is that TSMUXER doesn't look at the IFO, it only looks at the stream. So when it sees "4:3" in the sequence header, it assumes it is correct (and it normally should be) and puts it in the CLPI. But in the instances where the IFO disagrees, TSMUXER (or multiAVCHD) doesn't see it -- and the end-product from BD-RB is encoded at the wrong A/R.

[Ch3vr0n]

Here's one for ya jdobbs. For no apparant reason at all, x264 keeps crashing at VID_00033. I have NO codec packs installed, and i do mean NO codec packs, except for the listed ffdshow version if you can call it a codec pack and vlc player. If i double click a VC-1 stream i get audio but no video due to lacking the codec. Here's all you need probably.

(no idea what to do with this)

Also the audio detection needs some work. One audio stream thats is dutch (belgium) does not get selected with the dut and nld streams selected. I need to select "undertermined" aswell to get it encoded. Just for the trying i also did an encode without the "undetermined" before that one. x264 crashed too. Got plenty of disc space left aswell (418GB)

Try uninstalling VLC Player. Since attempts to playback VC-1 directly is also failing, it's likely that something has inserted itself into the normal flow of the CODEC and isn't working.

For a moment there I thought the "short PCM to AC3" encoding error was gone, but no. Tried to fit Wallace & Gromit The Complete Collection (24.00 fps) on a BD25 and second to last VID stopped at the "ReencodeAudio() 00075 1801" error. I restarted the job and let it resume, but the offending audio tracks were skipped.

Despite the slightly different length, I think I might be able to finish the job by making a copy of the two untouched AC3 files and renaming them to 00043.track_4353.ac3 and 00043.track_4354.ac3, then restarting the job. Right?

[Ch3vr0n]

nupe, failed too. Uninstalled MPCplayer as that one also had ffdshow installed but i always reinstall the listed one on an mpcplayer update. No help either

running a simultaneous encode now. One with auto settings, one with 37.01 and default high quality. I'll see how that turns out. Don't have my hopes up either. Tried to re-rip the original too without success in encoding. The only onther i can think of is bsplayer but that one never posed a problem before and always tell it to skip when it asks for codec update on updating the bsplayer version. The weird thing is that i encoded HP6 just fine the day before and that one also uses VC-1 however all frames were p and not i, nor * or **

If both simultaneous encodes fail ill run em again without IVTC selected (though i havent seen an IVTC message yet)

** edit ** both versions and runs failed.

included an image highlighting the problematic stream

Is it possible with BD_RB v0.37.01 to choose more then 1 audio track for the alternate mkv output?

No. All that changed is that you can now keep HD audio. But multiple audio selections might be in the next release.

i didnt see this in the new release? will this still maybe implemented into the next one? i would really like at least 2languages in the mkv alternate output.

[Ch3vr0n]

jdobbs did say it MIGHT be in the next release, there were no exact statements it actually WOULD be. Patience is a virtue

[jdobbs]

i didnt see this in the new release? will this still maybe implemented into the next one? i would really like at least 2languages in the mkv alternate output. It all depends on priorities. Bugs are my first priority, and then I try to implement features as I get the time. My number 1 priority right now (after serious bugs) is IGS and DTS-Express support.

[j_m_min]

but I have tried to backup avatar and dinner for schmucks - movie only - BD 25 - and both times program will not work and gives me the same error.

"[16:38:13] Reencoding audio tracks (if req'd)
- [16:38:14] Multiplexing M2TS
- Error in attempt to multiplex: MUX_00010.meta
- Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream"

If anyone could help me get through this I would really appreciate it. I don't know how to edit my backup to remove this "too large pes packet"

[Ch3vr0n]

Where's the rest of the logfile

[torque2k]

Where's the rest of the logfile

Again, sorry to play devil's advocate, but we (as beta testers) need a list of the log files jdobbs would have us post (and, if necessary, how to post them, as attachments or code text?); I think this would really help speed things up and nip the "Why won't you post your log files?!" posts in the bud. Over 550 pages of bug reports, and not many people would stick to reading every page, in order to glean this knowledge...

Just sayin'. :) :logfile:

[setarip_old]

@j_m_min

Hi!- Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream"If you had done a search of this thread, you'd have seen that "jdobbs" (The author of BD Rebuilder) has stated that this is an error generated from within tsMuxeR - and could only be due to a bad rip.

In light of the fact that this is your first post, I'll ask you (To possibly save jdobbs some time):

Is your source material an original, commercial Blu-ray disc, or is it something else?

[Capsbackup]

Back up again, glad to see!! It does not appear I missed much. :rolleyes: :p
Was wondering if it was just me for a few days, so thanks for the email notice jdobbs. :)

[worknstiff]

Wow, it's really back up and running! I must have clicked on Doom9 about a hundred times over the past few days and was beginning to think it was down for good. I tried to do one of my first BD25's and long story short, I ended up with an oversize twice. I did "How the West was Won", movie only, keeping the TrueHD english track and 3 subs. The movie runs about 164 minutes and my thinking was it was too big to compress down to BD9. The first attempt with a custom size of 24,600 mb ended up over about 500 mb. Next I tried the default of 24,500 mb and still was over just slightly and was able to get rid of the two spanish subs to get it down enough to fit. The first time it happened I tried all sorts of solutions to trim the m2ts, the movie starts with 4.40 minute musical overture that I could have lived without but I soon found out that triming a .m2ts with HD audio is really tricky. Everything I tried either converted to AC3 or completely garbled the sound. Oh well, it was a great learning experience. When I'm keeping HD audio on a 2 plus hour movie I will set a custom size of 24450 and perhaps it will fit.

@ jdobbs, thanks for the email, I knew Doom9 forum was down but it was nice knowing I could get the beta download in case BD_Rebuilder timed out.

[Capsbackup]

@worknstiff;
the default size for BD-25 is 23500 MB.
Perhaps try the BD-25 preset, and my guess is you will not be disappointed. :)

[worknstiff]

@Capsbackup, Quote: the default size for BD-25 is 23500 MB

Oops!, I don't know where I came up with my 24500, lol. I am amazed it was only oversized by 500 mb when I ran it the first time. It got close enough that cutting the prelude by 4.40 made it fit, but audio was trashed after triming it with tsMuxeR. I have only tried a couple of BD25's so I guess a few mistakes are going to happen. Thanks for the heads up.

FYI - In general most disc read errors occur near the outer edge. In life, try to stay away from the hairy edge and come in a few steps and everything will be fine.

Has anyone tried making a backup of "The A-Team" ? It seems to fail at the very beginning at 14% doing movie only. I've checked to see if turning off the subtitles would resolve it and it still errors out to TSMUXER. Inspection was ok. Any help jdobb or anyone else would be appreciated.

If you are overclocked... that's probably it. It could also be a ripping issue. I used AnyDVD for the rip.

I'll try a re-rip now. I'm not overclocked and I to use AnyDVD (6.7.8.0).

Not sure what it could be, I'll have to pick up the disc and try it.

Is this a rip from an original disc?

[DKdude]

yes its a 100% rip of the original Ice Age 3 disc

Thanks for fixing my long post :)

@jdobbs

I just did a full disc conversion of "Centurion" to BD9, using "Good" (Very fast) and "One-pass (CRF) settings - audio encoding options were left untouched, so that BD-RB performed a downconversion of the audio to 5.1AC3 640kbps.

While the original 7.1 DTS(MA) audio had (per tsMuxeR) an audio delay of 18,393ms, this delay disappeared somewhere in the downconversion, so that the playback was grossly (18+ seconds) out of synch.

The proof in the pudding was that using tsMuxeR to add a delay of 18,393ms to the primary audio of the main compressed .M2TS file eliminated the problem.

The reason for the original delay appears to be due to an initial rather mysterious SILENT 18 second static display regarding "Technicolor Services" and details of the video and audio formats.

Reminiscent, if I remember correctly, of the structure of, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". Back in September, in your post #9531, you stated: I fixed the out-of-sync audio issue related to "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and the other similar discs. It'll be included in the next release.
But the "Tatoo" problem only affected the "movie-only" version, so perhaps this is something different...

[ilancas]

My primary use of BD Rebuilder is to reduce the size of Blu-Ray disks in order to conserve disk space on my media player, a Popcorn Hour A210 with an internal hard drive.

Here is the problem that I'm encountering: A folder rip or ISO clone of an original Blu-ray plays perfectly on my media player, but there is something about the structure of a rebuilt Blu-ray that prevents the media player from playing it. More strangely, the rebuilt folders can be played by the media player across an SMB file share from my Windows 7 PC!

I realise that this is more likely to be a bug in the media player firmware than DB Rebuilder and I will report it as such on the apporpriate forum, but any theories would be appreciated.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with the newest release of BD Rebuilder (v0.37.04). Changes for this release:- Added a new option in the ALTERNATE output
selections. You can now choose a target size
in addition to CRF or bitrate.
- Made some minor improvements in the way IVTC
is handled that can improve picture quality.
- Added a hidden option "DEINTERLACER_TYPE" that
will allow you to set the type of deinterlace
algorithm to use (when selected from SETUP).
The settings are: 1=Decomb w/o blend,
2=Decomb w/blend, 3=SmoothDeinterlace, and
4=Progressive. The last option (4) should be
used when the source is progressive -- but it
needs "fake-interlaced" to be asserted during
encode.
- Added a new hidden option "EXTENDED_GOP".
Setting this value to "1" will instruct BD-RB
to use a 48 frame GOP size when writing to
BD-5 OR BD-9.
- Inserted temporary code to prevent streams that
contain IGS from being processed. Since these
are normally menus and by nature are small,
they will be kept intact. This should prevent
the rare "Menu without buttons" issue until
IGS reintegration routines are completed.
- Changed setting for "Use X264 Internal LAVF" to
"on" as the default.
- Corrected an error in which using BATCH mode
can sometimes incorrectly set the audio and
subtitle selections.
- Corrected a bug in which under very rare and
specific circumstances LAVF could be selected
even though IVTC is in effect.
- Corrected an error in the ALTERNATE OUTPUT
dialog that could cause checkboxes to be set
at the same time.
- Corrected a problem in which some VC-1 sources
might be incorrectly IVTC'd.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1990).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1884).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

@jdobbs
Re: v.37.04

What is the effect/benefit of this option? It was a request. If going to BD-5/9 you will probably squeeze out a little more quality at the same bitrate because you're using more P & B frames and fewer I frames.

I'm using it for all my BD-5/9 backups now. It's one of those things that's only allowed on Blu-ray if the maximum bitrate is below 15Mbs (as in BD-5/9).

[laserfan]

What is the effect/benefit of this option?Look at the three posts starting here. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1400294#post1400294)

[jdobbs]

Look at the three posts starting here. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1400294#post1400294) I'd say the only thing I'd disagree on is whether a longer GOP will help pulsing to any appreciable degree. I think it would probably slow it down (from 1 second to 2), but ipratio and pbratio are a better fix for pulsing. In fact the reason BD-RB uses 1.1 on each rather that the defaults of 1.4 and 1.3 (ipratio/pbratio) is in response to early reports of pulsing at low bitrates. As shon3i suggested in our previous discussion on pulsing, selecting open GOPs will probably help as well.

If you had done a search of this thread, you'd have seen that "jdobbs" (The author of BD Rebuilder) has stated that this is an error generated from within tsMuxeR - and could only be due to a bad rip.

Is your source material an original, commercial Blu-ray disc, or is it something else?"
_____________________________________________________

Wow, thanks for trying to help. I get so ignored on sites (like afterdawn) looking for help usually that I am surprised I got a couple responses.

Both the eat pray love, avatar and dinner for schmucks were original blu-rays that I got from Netflix. I doubt it matters, but that is where they are from. I tried eat like 8 times, avatar like 5 times and dinner 3 times.

I paid close attention, I get through 100% encoding, but as soon as it gets to re-encoding it fails. Why is this?

I did research that error message and many many threads and I found one post where a guy said his menu file or something was too big (greater thatn 100 mb) and when he unchecked that for recording it worked. I am guessing it could be that picture moving around in the menu. It seems it only records one big file or something, and if there is another greater than 100 mb it gets an erro. But I can't find anywhere where you can pick and choose what files to copy like on CloneDVD. If I could stop trying to record that file that is greater than 100 mb, it might work.

What is "tsMuxeR?" I don't have this program downloaded and its not in the instructions.

Maybe my bad for not posting the whole giant log, I just know it said everything was OK up until re-encoding.

Thanks a lot again. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks a lot again. Sorry for the delay.I've done all the movies you mentioned -- and didn't get that error. So it's related to some setting you've made or something unique to your setup.

As was mentioned -- that error is almost always the result of a bad rip. Are you using AnyDVD? That's the only truly reliable decryption/ripping package out there (in my humble opinion).

TSMUXER is a 3rd party multiplexer used to demultiplex the streams from the original M2TS files and to create the new M2TS files after reencoding. It is included in the BD Rebuilder zip files and is in the TOOLS folder.

the rare "Menu without buttons" issue until

I have tested my source Blu-ray that has IGS menus with this latest version, BD Rebuilder v0.37.04 (beta), and though it does skip reencoding the IGS menu files and does copy them as is, if the selected output is BD5/9, the finished backup has audio skipping issues while on the menu pages on my S360. :( The movie plays back fine though! I presume this is because of to high a bitrate for DVD media.
However, when I burn that same backup to BD-RE media, it plays back perfectly. :)

@jdobss: ya probably misread there. Caps is stating that using the new method BD25 works fine, its the BD5/9 that has the audio offsync

[jdobbs]

@jdobss: ya probably misread there. Caps is stating that using the new method BD25 works fine, its the BD5/9 that has the audio offsync Yeah... but the skipping etc. is caused by the fact that the bitrate is too high for BD-5/9. In previous versions they were forced to be reencoded for that reason. I failed to consider that there could be an issue with BD-5/9 when you keep a stream intact.

[LowDead]

- Added a new hidden option "EXTENDED_GOP".

Please don't do this.

I am testing for a custom size larger than DVD-9 (11000 to be exact). If it works for that, I'll be a happy camper. Besides my menus are not motion, so I don't anticipate any problems of that nature. I'll know in a few hours and will post the results.

Just for the record, I don't use DVD-9 size much any more because I no longer trust double layer DVD media. I have opted for 110000 for most of my rebuilds because it still gives me pretty good PQ and allows enough room to retain the HD audio (which BD-RB apparently allows for anything larger than [BD-9] - thanks for that, by the way - I wish it were optional for any size).

Hi,

I have searched on this thread for this problem and cannot find it, so here it is.

I ripped the complete Resident Evil: Afterlife Blu-Ray to a directory. I then put it through BD Rebuilder with the BD25 size selected, all the extras and just english audio and subtitles (allowing for more than one stream of a language). Everything seems fine except the resultant BD25 sized version has no audio on the Picture in Picture commentary called 'Undead Vision'.
After about 3 hours faffing about getting PDVD to play an iso image i made of the original files (just to check see if it's in there) it played with sound just fine. So it's definately BD Rebuilder thats skipping the sound.
When i look at the list of tracks BD Rebuilder has detected, there is always one audio track that it refuses to tick, even with me changing the audio options in the settings to all languages, no reencoding etc etc.

Can someone help me? I cant figure out how to get the sound on this extra feature and i suspect its that stubborn track that i cant enable.

Apreciate the time jdobbs, been using your program now for a looong time :)

[dfsooner]

This won't resolve any BD_RB problem, but you can always use tsmuxer to add the audio stream back in from the original. That would solve your immediate problem with this movie.

Of course you will have to determine which .m2ts file contains the audio in the original.

Apreciate the time jdobbs, been using your program now for a looong time :) If it is DTS Express, it is a known issue (you'll see numerous posts on it here in this thread) and it isn't supported by any of the helper apps. I'm trying to create a workaround... I've been at the 90% complete level for a while now (experienced programmers will laugh when they hear that one ;)) -- but I'm having playback/timing issues still.

If it is DTS Express, it is a known issue (you'll see numerous posts on it here in this thread) and it isn't supported by any of the helper apps. I'm trying to create a workaround... I've been at the 90% complete level for a while now (experienced programmers will laugh when they hear that one ;)) -- but I'm having playback/timing issues still.

Well well well, i went to check after reading your reply (thanks for that btw) and guess what.. DTS Express. You really do know your sh*t :)

Well thanks for the effort your making to sort that out, i've got faith enough to leave the bugger on my drive till you do. I'll be watching the latest updates with great interest.

Excellent work dood, you rock :)

@jdobbs

I just did a full disc conversion of "Centurion" to BD9, using "Good" (Very fast) and "One-pass (CRF) settings - audio encoding options were left untouched, so that BD-RB performed a downconversion of the audio to 5.1AC3 640kbps.

While the original 7.1 DTS(MA) audio had (per tsMuxeR) an audio delay of 18,393ms, this delay disappeared somewhere in the downconversion, so that the playback was grossly (18+ seconds) out of synch.

The proof in the pudding was that using tsMuxeR to add a delay of 18,393ms to the primary audio of the main compressed .M2TS file eliminated the problem.

The reason for the original delay appears to be due to an initial rather mysterious SILENT 18 second static display regarding "Technicolor Services" and details of the video and audio formats.

Reminiscent, if I remember correctly, of the structure of, "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo". Back in September, in your post #9531, you stated:
But the "Tatoo" problem only affected the "movie-only" version, so perhaps this is something different...
I fixed this one for the next release. BD-RB was experiencing a PTS/DTS overflow (if you look at the times for the feature with BDEdit, you'll see that the start/stop times are all huge -- it starts at 10 hours). I corrected a section of my code that had attempted to use a 32 bit integer to temporarily hold the PTS value. As a result, BD-RB didn't catch the 18 second difference between the first audio and video PTS values. Obviously there aren't many discs out there with DTS/PTS values that large -- explaining why this hasn't been an issue before.

This is a good find / fix! :) I agree there probably are very few discs authored this way, but for those that are it will be dealt with.
Interesting that I thought BD-RB would pull the delay value from the mpls that tsMuxeR reads upon remux, so as to avoid the potential audio delay causing the async. :confused:
Will this correction apply to secondary audio as well, since there was another report of the main audio being in sync but the secondary audio was not?

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs I fixed this one for the next release.Glad to hear that you were able to address this so quickly.

Now, when one of the 10,000 (it seems) heads gets lopped off, you'll hear "Thump, thump, thump" as it hits the ground - and not, "Sire, may I peel you a grape?" ;>}

But I just got done doing a backup of The Lovely Bones with no issues. I am guessing the two discs have different Video File types,and this is why I am encountering the issue?

Thanks
Jake

Sorry I left out I have my VC1 set to wmv9,I thought thats what were supposed to set it to in windows 7?
Jake

[Jake802]

Ok I got the movie backup to work but not full backup!

[drmih]

Strangely enough I have my system setup correctly and Case 39 works fine. Just an idea, but have you thought about installing the recommended software correctly?

[Jake802]

That's why I asked the question, The only settings I have touched in FFDShow is to make sure the VC1 is set to WMV9. I dont have a clue as to what the others should be. I just know I havent touched them and I havent had any issues in a long time!

Will this correction apply to secondary audio as well, since there was another report of the main audio being in sync but the secondary audio was not? I don't think there is a way you can reliably get the delay from the MPLS. You have to look at the start PTS times of the audio in the M2TS. I'm pretty sure that's how TSMUXER does it also -- since it can find it without an MPLS. BD Rebuilder looks for the PTS of all the audio streams directly from the M2TS. All the streams don't necessarily have to have the same start PTS, though... so one might have a delay while another does not. You also have to remember that the secondary audio stream is synced to the secondary video, not the primary. Even the multiple video streams may not have the same start PTS (although they usually do). I don't trust another app to catch all that.

I don't remember the other report you mentioned -- but the odds are low that there is a connection.

I realize the following are wrong according to the log:

- FFDSHOW VC-1 set incorrectly: [0]
- FFDSHOW MPEG2 set incorrectly: [0]
- FFDSHOW AVC set incorrectly: [0]

But I just got done doing a backup of The Lovely Bones with no issues. I am guessing the two discs have different Video File types,and this is why I am encountering the issue?

Thanks
Jake

Sorry I left out I have my VC1 set to wmv9,I thought thats what were supposed to set it to in windows 7?
Jake That's undoubtedly the issue. You may think you have VC-1 set to wmv9 -- but BD Rebuilder is looking directly at the registry, and it isn't set.

You need to follow the directions in the first post of this thread exactly. You aren't set up correctly. Any one of those incorrect values I see can result in failure -- and you have several wrong.

Thanks JDobbs!

Question my video decoder configuration says vc1 wmv9,how else do i fix it,should I uninstall everything and reinstall it? I just found it odd because I have been making backups for months now with no issues? So Uninstall everything and reinstall after a fresh reboot?

Thanks
Jake

[jdobbs]

All I can say is that BD Rebuilder is querying the registry -- and the registry says it is not set to wmv9. It is set to a value of "0" -- meaning it is disabled. Same for AVC and MPEG-2.

Uninstall BD Rebuilder and all the helper apps and install ONLY the versions from the first post of this thread. If you install the wrong versions (of FFDSHOW for example) -- it's unpredictable what problems you might run into.

[Jake802]

Alright cool! Will do! I have included a screen shot of my FFDShow,can you please tell me what I should have the VC1,MPEG2,and AVC set at? I am downloading everything directly from your page I will do a reinstall when my movie only is done converting!


Thanks JDobbs!

[jdobbs]

Your screen shot doesn't mean anything... for all I know you may have multiple FFDSHOW versions installed, you may be configuring the 64 bit version when it isn't even used by BD-RB -- the one thing I do know positively is that you have the wrong one installed. Also, be careful about what other software you put on your system. Some of the less informative products might change your settings -- and not even tell you they do so. Others can intercept CODECs and it won't even show that it has been reconfigured. If you have any CODEC packs of any kind -- dump them. When you have FFDSHOW you don't need them.

[Capsbackup]

I don't remember the other report you mentioned -- but the odds are low that there is a connection.

The previous report was mentioned here, and the movie was Monsters vs Aliens :
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=158185

Ultimately the delay was corrected by running BD-RB from the command line and editing the mux_00024.meta for the secondary audio file to reflect the audio delay reported by tsMuxeR that was not in the original mux_00024.meta from BD-RB.

Ok, I'll go back and look at that one again. But if I recall correctly, I think I did that disc and couldn't repeat the issue.

[Rich86]

V.37.04 - using DVD Alternate Output Option:
When using DVD5 alternate output, the resulting title goes into a pause state at the end of the title playback - and you must press play again to have the disc actually complete playing and return to the player's logo screen.
Based upon some exploring and testing, I think this might be related to an entry of 255 in the "cell still time" column of the pgc table for the last chapter in a title. When I change that 255 to a 0 - and reburn the title - the problem goes away.

[Capsbackup]

I just thought it was similar, and while your "iron was hot", this one could be looked at too! :p

If you had done a search of this thread, you'd have seen that "jdobbs" (The author of BD Rebuilder) has stated that this is an error generated from within tsMuxeR - and could only be due to a bad rip.

Is your source material an original, commercial Blu-ray disc, or is it something else?"
_____________________________________________________

Wow, thanks for trying to help. I get so ignored on sites (like afterdawn) looking for help usually that I am surprised I got a couple responses.

Both the eat pray love, avatar and dinner for schmucks were original blu-rays that I got from Netflix. I doubt it matters, but that is where they are from. I tried eat like 8 times, avatar like 5 times and dinner 3 times.

I paid close attention, I get through 100% encoding, but as soon as it gets to re-encoding it fails. Why is this?

I did research that error message and many many threads and I found one post where a guy said his menu file or something was too big (greater thatn 100 mb) and when he unchecked that for recording it worked. I am guessing it could be that picture moving around in the menu. It seems it only records one big file or something, and if there is another greater than 100 mb it gets an erro. But I can't find anywhere where you can pick and choose what files to copy like on CloneDVD. If I could stop trying to record that file that is greater than 100 mb, it might work.

What is "tsMuxeR?" I don't have this program downloaded and its not in the instructions.

Maybe my bad for not posting the whole giant log, I just know it said everything was OK up until re-encoding.

Thanks a lot again. Sorry for the delay.

I've done all the movies you mentioned -- and didn't get that error. So it's related to some setting you've made or something unique to your setup.

As was mentioned -- that error is almost always the result of a bad rip. Are you using AnyDVD? That's the only truly reliable decryption/ripping package out there (in my humble opinion).

TSMUXER is a 3rd party multiplexer used to demultiplex the streams from the original M2TS files and to create the new M2TS files after reencoding. It is included in the BD Rebuilder zip files and is in the TOOLS folder.

I am using Anydvd HD. I followed your guide and installed all the programs you said. I wouldn't have any idea where to begin in the setup to see why its happening. Should I just reinstall everything again and see what happens? I am installing the programs as is and running them. I didn't see any guides telling me to turn on this feature or go through these boxes and check them. Would it be a Region A etc issue? Because I don't know what to pick when that happens.

[jdobbs]

I just thought it was similar, and while your "iron was hot", this one could be looked at too! :p I found the one in "Monsters and Aliens" too. It wasn't related to the other one -- but was in the same section of code.

As it turns out, both the secondary audio and the secondary video had an offset and I wasn't correctly considering that possibility. I'll fix it for the next release. My guess is that if you manually adjusted the audio and remuxed, it might look like it corrected the issue, but in actuality you've probably just made them both be off by the same amount. In this disc it looks like it is off by about 2.5 seconds -- so it may not be that noticable.

You are correct about adjusting the audio via a delay set in the mux meta, and reintegrating this new rebuild into to the original rebuild. The reporter stated after this exchange, the audio was back in sync.

Your diligence in correcting these issues, even some so minor like this, that probably will never be noticed nor reported more than once, :p , is greatly recognized and appreciated! :)

[Jake802]

Uninstalled reinstalled everything works like a charm! Thanks a lot!

@aacm

I've done that disc with no issues. Can you please post the output of INSPECT.EXE? It's located in the BD Rebuilder folder.

You're not doing any encoding for the movie-only backup. Also, I believe you should have also gotten error reports following the failure to build structure. Is there a reason why you didn't post that part of the LOG as well?

@jdobbs

Can you think of any anything you've done (or perhaps an x264 issue), but encodes seem to be taking significantly longer now. Doing full backups to bd-9, highest quality, have always seemed to take between 6 and 10 hours, depending on the disc content - I've just looked at a sample of previous discs in the log file and 8 hours seems about the normal. They now seem to be nearly double that. Checking the system, x264 is using over 90% of the processors and memory isn't an issue.

**Just a note, I thought I hadn't changed anything but I did switch on the new option for GOP in bd-9 discs

[jedihyte]

On this new version (v0.37.04) I'm not able to check the box in Setup for Audio Languages to Keep "Limit to one track . . ." I check it and hit Save Changes, but it will not take. Also, If I choose BD-5 and Movie Only, and I check "Limit to one track " and hit Save, the settings will revert back to BD-25 and Full movie. I went back to v0.37.01 to try it, and it works fine.

**Just a note, I thought I hadn't changed anything but I did switch on the new option for GOP in bd-9 discs The two things that have changed that might affect speed is the newer version of X264 and the default setting for LAVF -- but, frankly, I'm not seeing a slowdown and yours is the only report I've gotten. Try deselecting "use LAVF" and see if that makes a difference.

Generally, though, if you experience a slowdown in performance, the first place to always look is at your antivirus software. A/V packages are renowned for updating themselves with changes that cause slowdowns. Turn it off completely and see if you that changes things. Second would be the a fragmented or near-full hard drive.

You might also want to look at the total time of the job which seems to show the slowdown and compare it to the other jobs you're reviewing and make sure you're talking apples-to-apples. Time to encode is affected by frame count, not source size. Some discs have twice as much work to do as others.

Ya- that was weird. :confused: I just downloaded it again, and all is good. Sorry for the false alarm.

[bluestarCVO]

I think I may have possibly found a bug with the target size mkv (intact audio). I have tried this on my HP and also my Gateway, and I have tried three different discs. Every time BD Rebuilder gets ready to reencode the video, I get this PredictAndEncode() 00006 2820 error, and all I can do is click ok and the reencode fails. If I am doing something wrong on my end, please let me know.

@bluestarCVO

I'll take a look at it. Can you post your INI file so I can make sure I am using the exact same settings you are? Right now I don't even know what target size you are using... and I worry that you are setting it to a size that is too small for the intact audio.

Either way I need to fix it -- but the additional information will help ne find it.

[Edit] Well, I tried forcing the size too small -- and couldn't get that error (although I see something different I will need to fix) -- so I'll have to wait until you post the INI before I can do any work on it.

The large target size was causing an overflow in one of my variables. I've fixed it for the next release.

jdobbs, thank you for the quick response! I'll be looking forward to the next release then. Thanks again!

A donation from me to you is long overdue, and will head your way in about 2 hours.

[dfsooner]

It appears that using LAVF is now MUCH slower than not using it. Jobs normaly taking 8-10 hours or so are now in the 18-hour range (highest quality).

[jdobbs]

It appears that using LAVF is now MUCH slower than not using it. Jobs normaly taking 8-10 hours or so are now in the 18-hour range (highest quality). Have you tried it with both or are you simply making an unsubstantiated statement?

I've personally done lots of testing and LAVF is faster or equal in every test I've done (on the systems I use) -- and it is almost always faster on a 64 bit system. Nothing is impossible -- but I'd suggest you post something to substantiate what you're saying other than "it appears".

You can always uncheck LAVF... I'd be interested in seeing the LOG of any differences you find running the exact same job with the same settings in both modes. If you do find differences, I'd also like to hear whether it changes if you step back to a previous version of X264.

Perhaps you are using Windows 7 and placed BD RB in the Program Files folder? If so, Windows settings virtualization (or whatever the proper name is) will interfere and cause your problem. The solution is either to install elsewhere or run the program with Administrator privileges.

Fair enough. I'll try to compare apples to apples as soon as I burn through my substantial backlog.

[Ch3vr0n]

Meh, BDRB is in my program folders and runs without any issue. Then again i do got that annoying UAC switched off (on my vista)

[jdobbs]

Fair enough. I'll try to compare apples to apples as soon as I burn through my substantial backlog. Well... I ran a couple of jobs overnight on the same stream with and without LAVF, and at least on this one (a 115,000 frame 1080p VC-1 source) LAVF was indeed significantly slower (52 minutes vs 45 minutes), even though it was using the 64 bit version.

I'm setting up some tests for AVC and MPEG-2 sources.

It used to be faster in most cases, so I'm not sure what has happened -- but I'm changing it back so LAVF isn't the default anymore on the next release.

[dfsooner]

Does LAVF take more advantage of extra memory?

The reason I ask is that I have two systems that I use for rebuilds. The first is Windows 7 Pro x64 with a Q9400 and 8GB of memory. The second is Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with a Q6600 and only 4GB of memory.

I would expect the second to be a little slower because of the processor, but could the memory size be a major factor, as well?

[Dofin]

Reducing a retail BD-50, ripped with AnyDVD HD, to a DVD9, through version 0.37.04, produce a playable DVD9 on my Oppo-93. If I try to produce a full BD-25, although there are no errors reported in log, this player will consider the burned disc as an Unknown disc and refuse to play it. The burned disc plays fine with Arc Theater. I've tried several unsuccessful tweaking with relevant settings but still, do not know what could be wrongly set. Is it a known issue with Oppo ?
Any hints would help as I've tried this procedure over several retail BD-50 with same results. Thanks.

Same problem with "2012", "Last airbender", "Let me in" and "The Expendables"
Any help is appreciated.

@s2k

Are you reencoding an original disc? It sounds like BD Rebuilder is attempting to remux -- but the secondary video track doesn't exist. That can happen when someone preprocesses and leaves out the secondary video. It appears there should have been a line like the one below for the last (00011) stream:

- [00:xx:xx] Reencoding secondary video [TRK_02]

I successfully backed up the US versions of "2012", "Last Airbender", "The Expendables", and "Salt" -- all from the original disc and all with no issues.

I'll rerun SALT and see if anything has changed...

[s2k]

@s2k

Are you reencoding an original disc?
No, they are not. I think this is it.
Can I do something?
Thanks, and....everybody....Happy Valentines Day!!!!!
....
I attached info for the others.

@s2k

Hi!:

"jdobbs" asked:Are you reencoding an original disc?

You answered: No, they are not.

Discussion of such source material is a "no-no" at the Doom9 Forums...

[djmasturbeat]

just a clarification for step 8

8. Recommended for Windows XP only: Download and install WMV11 from Microsoft, and set VC-1 decoding to "disabled" in FFDSHOW (allowing the WMV11 codec to be used). This seems to be the codec with the fewest problem on VC-1. For Vista or Windows 7 -- select "wmv9"

are we talking about the FFDShow encoder configurations -> on the "decoder" tab -> codecs -> VC-1,
or ffdshow video configurations -> codecs -> VC-1,
or both?
I have wmv9 (for win7) set on the video config codecs setting, but i am wondering if i should also set it in the encoder config -> decoder tab -> codecs -> VC-1 also.

i am just trying to get better results with interlaced VC-1 source material. not sure if this will help or if this will be a self-inflicted screw up.

as it is now, the VC-1 codec in encoder config -> decoding tab -> codecs is set to "disabled".

thanks

thanks Not sure what you mean by the boldfaced encoder configuration? I think you must be talking about the VFW configuration utility... which really doesn't matter.

You are selecting decoders through the "Video Decoders Configuration" utility's CODEC screen (although CODEC does stand for coder/decoder). The selected decoder is used during the process to decode the video and serve it a frame at a time to X264 for reencoding. On Windows 7 VC-1 should be set to "wmv9". It's unpredictable what will happen if you set it to "disabled" and depends what else you have installed that might pick up the decoding. Setting it to LIBAVCODEC will work on some sources -- but doesn't support interlacing.

WMV9 on Windows 7 works with every source I've tried and I'm using it now. There are a couple of oddities related to VC-1 field-based picture formats (rather than frame based) that cause HAALI to hiccup when the source is an M2TS -- but BD Rebuilder recognizes that and adjusts for it by converting to MKV on-the-fly during the processing.

Does LAVF take more advantage of extra memory?

The reason I ask is that I have two systems that I use for rebuilds. The first is Windows 7 Pro x64 with a Q9400 and 8GB of memory. The second is Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with a Q6600 and only 4GB of memory.

I would expect the second to be a little slower because of the processor, but could the memory size be a major factor, as well?

Again, will LAVF take advantage of extra memory?

[Capsbackup]

Encode times are processor related, with memory having a minor effect. Only if you are trying to multi-task during an encode might more memory be a benefit. :cool:
( assuming you have at least 2 GB ! :p )

This type of error is usually a set up issue. Post the inspect log.
Uninstall haali, ffdshow and avisynth, delete the program folder for haali, and then reboot. Then download and install those three programs from page one of this thread.
Also, delete the BD-RB.ini and start fresh as is posted on page one for the initial install of BD-RB for Win 7.

[big_moviefreak]

Capsbackup would this error appear on everybackup, I have done several first one with this error? Before doing Let Me In I completed good back up of Take My Soul.

[jdobbs]

Capsbackup would this error appear on everybackup, I have done several first one with this error? Before doing Let Me In I completed good back up of Take My Soul. Are you sure it is a good rip?

Different Blu-rays use different authoring methods, VC-1, AVC, MPEG2, etc... Decoding requires the correct setup for each.
My guess is that the single most reported errors/problems for jdobbs is having BD-RB setup incorrectly, not having the proper haali and ffdshow installed. Also, other codec packs installed can cause issues as well.
Also, if this is not an original Blu-ray, ripped preferably with AnyDVD HD, it is most likely to have problems. ;)

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the newest release of BD Rebuilder (v0.37.05). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which a scan of the
source material might miss an audio/video time
delta when PTS/DTS values were very large.
- Corrected an error that could cause error 2904
while outputting to ALTERNATE/DVD when the audio
track has an offset detected.
- Updated DVD output so it exits completely rather
than pausing at the end of play.
- Improved the methodology for prevention of sleep
mode. It is now set/reset at the beginning/end of
each full job rather than at the start/stop of
each encode. Also changed settings so the video
monitor sleep will not be blocked and it will act
as set in the POWER options during encoding.
- Added a hidden setting (DISABLE_SLEEP=0) that
can be used to prevent the sleep blocking
function from executing.
- Corrected an issue in which a "too small" target
size for MKV output could result in illegal or
nonsensical bitrates.
- Corrected an error in which a large target size
for MKV output could result in an overflow
condition: PredictAndEncode() 00006 2820.
- Reversed the decision to make LAVF the default
frame server. It appears to be slower on some
systems. It can still be selected if desired
from the SETUP dialog.
- Corrected a problem in which starting a job with
"Keep HD Audio", and then stopping/resetting and
restarting with that parameter changed (after
audio extraction) could result in a failed audio
encode. An improbable but possible scenario.
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1900).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

thx for this update! :)

PS:
sorry for my english :D
There'll be in the next future a full version that i can buy (with support and no expire date)?
I hope "yes", cause this is one of the best program for bly-ray encoding!
thx

thx My plan is to never make anyone have to "buy" it. I would like to keep BD Rebuilder going based on voluntary donations. The only way that would change is if the donations stopped or got too small to make it worth my time. Frankly the donations have never been very much -- but I'd have to draw the line at nothing. ;) So I recommend you donate now. All donations are logged, and donators will receive free updates for the life fo the product no matter what happens.

The expiration date will stay until I decide to pull the software out of beta status. The purpose of the expiration is to save me (and all the others who help on this thread) the trouble of having to respond to trouble reports on bugs that have already been fixed. I also don't like old versions with known bugs (that have been fixed) floating around forever.

When trying to do a movie only backup (25)gb, all the video has the commentary audio in the preview. I have tried all of the video sources and they are all the same.

:Note the screenshot was from last week, I just tried this again today with the latest version and the same result.

I have never seen this before, and have done almost 50 rips with the same settings.

I've had only positive and problem free results with this program. A small donation has been made. Thank you for your efforts jdobbs.

[HatchetMan]

My plan is to never make anyone have to "buy" it. I would like to keep BD Rebuilder going based on voluntary donations. The only way that would change is if the donations stopped or got too small to make it worth my time. Frankly the donations have never been very much -- but I'd have to draw the line at nothing. ;) So I recommend you donate now. All donations are logged, and donators will receive free updates for the life fo the product no matter what happens.

The expiration date will stay until I decide to pull the software out of beta status.

JD, sometimes I miss a target size by a few hundred MB on a 25gBD downsizing.

I then try to reduce the output size by the approx number of MB the compression was oversized by. What gives better results quality wise, using the original rip to compress or trying to compress the one further which slightly missed the target?

[dfsooner]

Tried to speed up creation of bd-25 sized rebuilds by using these settings, but final result was 29.4 GB which is unusable for burning to single layer disc. Source was AnyDVD rip of Chuck Season 2, Disc 2 (37.8 GB).

[KiwiKid]

Don't know if this has been mentioned or if is just my system but I cannot run BD-RB to completion until I set tsremuxer to run in XP compatibility mode.
Awesome program by the way :)

[Capsbackup]

Tried to speed up creation of bd-25 sized rebuilds by using these settings, but final result was 29.4 GB which is unusable for burning to single layer disc. Source was AnyDVD rip of Chuck Season 2, Disc 2 (37.8 GB).
Any suggestions?

Try 1 pass ABR at High Quality(Default), or forget about the speed up and use two pass encode , but set it to Better(Faster), or Good(Very Fast).
CRF is not as size accurate as two pass encode, and I have been having excellent results and pretty accurate sizes with 1 pass ABR. :cool:

[SquallMX]

JD, sometimes I miss a target size by a few hundred MB on a 25gBD downsizing.

I then try to reduce the output size by the approx number of MB the compression was oversized by. What gives better results quality wise, using the original rip to compress or trying to compress the one further which slightly missed the target?

Always use the original BD-50.

A third option: Use MultiAVCHD to remove some trailers/FBI warnings.

[sonate]

Thanks for alerting me to MultiAVCHD. Just spent some time checking it out. But a question, doesn't that require different versions of ffdshow and Haali splitter which are incompatible with BD RB.

I'm wondering, if all I am trying to do is blank intros or trailers, that shouldn't matter.

Is there an easy guide you can recommend detailing the installation and operation?

Thanks for the reply. I'm trying to use the BD-25 rebuild as my 'gold standard' and am therefore reluctant to use Better or Good settings. Highest was taking about 18 hours (which is excruciating) and High about 12. I have a backlog and was just trying to speed things up. I might try 1-pass ABR to see if it sizes more accurately.

The same versions BD-RB uses of haali and ffdshow will work fine for multiAVCHD.
Be aware that the use of multiAVCHD is either pre-processing or post-processing if used with BD-RB, and that is done at your own discretion. Do not report in this thread any problems that may occur. :cool:
There is a guide on the first page of that thread, the one for Re-Author. ;)

If you like CRF, just set / lower the custom output size by 500MB to 750MB, you will not notice any change in quality. :)

[dfsooner]

If you like CRF, just set / lower the custom output size by 500MB to 750MB, you will not notice any change in quality. :)

I only chose 1-pass CRF because of JDobbs note in changes.txt when he added the High-Speed Option [BD-25] setting.

Added a "HIGH-SPEED" option to the "SETTINGS/ENCODER
SETTINGS" menu. It is visible/recommended for BD-25
encoding only. The quality on BD-5/9 will suffer
greatly if this option is used (via hidden setting).
When used with one-pass CRF mode on BD-25 it can
result in a very fast yet excellent quality backup
of most discs.

BD Rebuilder n00b here and I have a couple of questions.

1. Should I set FFDSHOW-MPEG 2 to libavcodec or libmpeg2?

2. Since I'm using the BD25 output and I don't want to mess with the HD audio in any way, is it necessary to check these audio encoding options - Do not convert DTS to AC3, do not reencode AC3 & keep HD audio for BD 25 encoding or should I leave them unchecked?

Thanks!

Any suggestions? Yes, don't use CRF or set the target smaller. CRF is inherently inaccurate in sizing.

@big_moviefreak;
To confirm tsMuxeR is the culprit here, could you load the VID_00001.AVS.264, 00001.track_4352.ac3 ( or .thd ), and 00001.track_4608.sup, found in the Workfiles folder, into tsMuxeR GUI, select Blu-ray as your output and try a mux that way. Does that work?
If not, try removing the subtitle track and run it again.

You're better off with two pass encoding when size accuracy is an issue.

[larrsz]

OK, I may have been the culprit myself in that this is a bit off the wall, but I was attempting to take a BD-9 created by BD-RB and converting that with BD RB to DVD5 so it would play in my car for an upcoming trip. It is apparently not movie specific, because after the error, I tired several BD-RB BD-9s with the exact same result- extracts the first stream and reports failure. Not sure if it is really a bug, since it it works if I go back to the original BD (doing it right now) to make the DVD5. I can post more info if anyone is interested, but as I said, it may be a known limitation.

[setarip_old]

@larrsz

Hi!

I'd speculate that the problem your having is due to the fact that the differing versions of BD-RB you're using use different/incompatible versions of supporting tools (e.g. x264).

BTW - Are you certain that your auto's playback system won't play BD9s?

I gues I don't understand. Once I have made a BD-9 with BDRebuilder, why would that version matter if opening the file in another version- would it not see it as a Blu Ray Disc?

And, I am sure my vehicle only has an old fashioned DVD player.

I'll run a couple of tests and see what happens -- it should be easy enough to fix.

Was the BD-9 a full backup or a movie-only backup?

Not sure if it is really a bug, since it it works if I go back to the original BD (doing it right now) to make the DVD5. I can post more info if anyone is interested, but as I said, it may be a known limitation. Ok, I'm confused. The one I'm testing is in the middle of encoding now... no problems.

Can you post your INI file so I can use the exact same settings as you?

JDOBBS, first just wanted to thank you for creating such a versatile tool like BD-Rebuilder. I have been using it for over a year now and it amazes me everytime how good the output quality of the video and audio is. I would appreciate it if you could answer my 2 questions:
I only create BD-25 backups and recently with the newer release of BD-Rebuilder 0.37.04 I see that there are 2 new settings that I am not used to seeing:
1. "Use DECOMB filter on interlaced source" ---->I am familiar with de-interlacing but my question is; Do I need to enable this option if I am only doing BD-50 to BD-25 backups. I figured the movies are progressive (1080p) so I wouldnt need this optional enabled.
2. "Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding" ----->I see that in 0.37.04 this optional is turned ON by default. I just dont know what are the benefits and drawbacks of using this option. For me it was disabled in the past when doing BD-50 to BD-25 backups. Do you recommend turning this ON or OFF for BD-25 backups?
thanks in advance for you time.

thanks in advance for you time.1. It's better to just turn this one on and leave it.

2. Actually LAVF should be off by default. I'd recommend to do a test and compare the speed. The quality will be the same -- and on some systems LAVF is faster -- but contrary to what I'd originally thought, it can also be slower on some (that's why I changed it back to "off" as the default.

I reinstalled all the files from the first page of this thread as it says in the instructions. Been a few days because I didn't have a bluray to burn. Got Inglorious Bastards in from Netflix. Put Inglorious Bastards in, DID NOTHING WITH THE SETTINGS AT ALL, and hit back up "full backup" to bd 25 size disc.

Hit backup and twice this happened:

I use windows XP, I have a LG burner and am using Verbatim 25 gb BD-R discs.

I have gotten this error now with Eat Pray Love, Avatar, Dinner for Schmucks and Machete. Always the same error. I am only installing the programs and then trying this. Not checking or unchecking any boxes. I also don't know what to pick when AnyDVD HD asks me what region (no region, region a, B or C).

There must be a reason I keep getting the same 'pes packet len too large' error.

HELP!

Got Inglorious Bastards in from Netflix.

You may not get much assistance from this source! :rolleyes:
It is always a good idea to post your inspect log, since many people report they installed the programs from page one, but still had incorrect settings. :(

[j_m_min]

How do I find the inspect log?

Thanks for the quick reply.

One last question; so if I turn on DECOMB filter then it wont affect the original movie which is 1080p. The reason why I am asking is because I have heard people say that if you de-interlace a 1080p video then the quality degrades significantly.

thanks

thanks The deinterlacing options are only applied to interlaced sources.

Hi!

Here's one that will knock your socks off - and I'm pretty sure I know the reason for the anomalous results:

Background - The title of the Blu-ray is "Buried", with the ENTIRE movie shot inside a coffin, in which the lead (only) character is being buried alive. I'd guess that the BRIGHTEST lighting in any scene is no greater than 1 to 2 candlepower, including many interspersed moments of total darkness. (I'm guessing that the poor end result is due to the unusual lighting throughout the entire movie).

Since I'd been getting extremely good results of late, using settings of "Good" and "CRF" to generate BD9s of movies of over two hours duration and BD5s for those of two hours or less, I thought I'd try this one at BD5 (due to the lack of action, light, and colors) with the same settings.

The end result was a full disc of a whopping 1.34Gigs, with heavy duty blocking reminiscent of compressed videos we used to make using the ORIGINAL DivX hack of the MS codec.

(I am presently re-doing it, using the "Automatic" setting, which I'm fairly certain will yield good results)

This is the full log of "Good" "CRF" version:

Ok, I'm confused. The one I'm testing is in the middle of encoding now... no problems.

Can you post your INI file so I can use the exact same settings as you?

OK, I think I found the issue. It appears I was trying to make a DVD-9 (accidentally checked 9 instead of 5) from a BD Rebuilder BD-9 folder. I just attempted it again and it failed. I assume this makes sense, since who would want to make a BD-9 into a DVD-9, but it fails all the same. Sorry for the incorrect info. Just for clarification, here is the .ini:

@jdobbs

Hi!

Here's one that will knock your socks off - and I'm pretty sure I know the reason for the anomalous results:

As always, I look forward to your insight ;>}

I am quite certain your suspicion of this low lighting movie is the reason for your results. CRF would not be the best choice for such a backup.
I am also reasonably certain that, at our age, there is not much left that jdobbs would say would "knock your socks off"! :p
( Perhaps a late night visit from Sofia Vergara!! Might ? :rolleyes: :) )

[larrsz]

OK, I think I found the issue. It appears I was trying to make a DVD-9 (accidentally checked 9 instead of 5) from a BD Rebuilder BD-9 folder. I just attempted it again and it failed. I assume this makes sense, since who would want to make a BD-9 into a DVD-9, but it fails all the same. Sorry for the incorrect info.

OK, I tried DVD-5 this morning and it also fails on my system (log below):

I see I am behind a couple of revisions, so I will download and try again. EDIT- With the newest version, I get the same result.

@larrsz;
is there a reason you are not using the latest version, BD Rebuilder v0.37.05? It may not correct your problem but there were some changes in that version related to DVD output.

edit: I see you just caught this. :cool:

[Capsbackup]

New version, same result. :)

If the source is the original Blu-Ray rip, it works? Only if you try from the already completed BD9 backup does it fail? :confused:

[jdobbs]

New version, same result. :) I'm not sure what to say. I've now done 3 discs from BD-9 to DVD-5 and all three worked perfectly. I'll insert your settings into my INI file and see if anything changes.

I just loaded your settings in to my INI -- and and got the same "no problem" results. This is now four BD-9 discs that I've converted to DVD-5 (and now DVD-9) that went perfectly. I'm sorry, but I have to mark this one as not repeatable and move on to something else.

Understood. No worries. I'll use another method. THanks for trying. BDRB works for what I primarily use it for anyway.

Just curious, but I notice from the BDInfo report of Centurion, which is a uniquely authored Blu-ray in itself, that the original has this for 00004.mpls:

Total Video

00004.MPLS AVC 1:37:41 0 29,458,776,053 0.00 0.00 DTS-HD Master 7.1 (48kHz/24-bit)

And the BD-RB backup has:

This full BD9 backup was created with BD-RBV03705, the audio is perfectly in sync from your latest find/fix.
I have checked a few others, but BDInfo reports identical movie lengths with the original and the backup.

Are you running Vista or W7--I wonder if it might have something to do with Security Properties. I notice for example if I dl it separately and place HCenc_025.exe into BD's dir and compare these Security Props, they appear different. Dunno nuthin' 'bout these myself, just a puzzlement... :o

[Capsbackup]

Understood. No worries. I'll use another method. THanks for trying. BDRB works for what I primarily use it for anyway.

Just a thought, but a potential problem, maybe minor, but using a previous BD-RB backup as the source to make another backup could bring about audio distortion problems, since the original audio has been amplified by BD-RB ( Amplify(1.2)). One additional amplification may not create a problem, but any additional ones could! :)

I have checked a few others, but BDInfo reports identical movie lengths with the original and the backup. I don't think I understand your point. Yes, the audio was converted to AC3... as it always is on BD-9 backups. A DTS-HD audio track could take up the output size without even considering the video.

If it's the difference in length that is your concern - my guess would be that on the original the timing in the MPLS didn't include the silent "intro" screen. It is possible for an MPLS to reference start and stop points other than the beginning of the video.

Yes it is the video length I was referring to. The difference, 42 seconds, seemed unusual. There was a 18393 second time delay for the audio, but I just thought the overall times should match.

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs

Regarding my post #11305 ("Buried"):

I performed a new conversion from the original Blu-ray disc, this time using "Automatic" setting and BD/DVD9 (rather than BD/DVD5).These settings yielded an excellent 7.6Gb full disc copy, as opposed to the pathetic, blocky 1.34Gb originally created with CRF...

[drmih]

@jdobbs

Just a small problem which seems to have come in recently. Through one thing or another (computer crashing, disc space) I've had three jobs which have failed to complete. However, I haven't been able to restart any of them - the programme always wants to delete the old files and restart. I haven't changed any settings and it is starting to annoy me as in all three cases they were well into the 90%s.

I have noticed this too. It is new with this latest version, BD-RBV03705.
If you keep your BDREBUILDER configuration settings file, delete all other files in the unzipped folder, and unzip the previous version, BD-RBV03704, and try with that one it will allow you to continue from a previously started/finished job.

[drmih]

Tried that but still can't get it to continue.

[Capsbackup]

Tried that but still can't get it to continue.

You need to make sure that all settings are exactly the same as the initial run, including audio selections, subtitles, custom output size, open gop, etc...

[worknstiff]

@drmih: Quote-Tried that but still can't get it to continue.

I don't know if you are wanting it to continue from the 90% done point or not but it was my understanding that the continue will only restart at the beginning of pass 2 of a movie only rebuild even if it was at 90% completed on pass 2. It will not continue at exactly the last point where it was previously encoding. I hope you were doing a full rebuild and it was a multi part movie, lol. It really hurts when you go in to see if it has completed and the computer has had a crash or like me when I bumped the mouse and it was hovering over the close button and sat there all night with a do you want to cancel or continue diaglog box waiting for me to answer it, lol

[j_m_min]

No one has any suggestions on why I keep getting this error?

- Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec speciffed.
[20:56:59] - Failed to build structure, aborted

Is there any setting or anything I should change.

My full post is a couple pages back.

If no one knows, that is fine. I am just at a lost for what to do. I have been trying to get this to work for over a month and get the same error every time.

I'll look at it and make sure it is working correctly.

That error is coming from TSMUXER (not from within BD-RB) -- and it is pretty stable.

[Capsbackup]

The one thing that might affect that would be the addition of HD Audio settings to the checks for resuming -- are you sure it hasn't changed between the two starts? I'll look at it and make sure it is working correctly.

I have tested on two different BD9 full movie backups that I still have kept all the files for, and for both as long as I use BD-RBV03704, I have the option to resume. Of course these are already completed, so resume will only rebuild the Blu-Ray structure. ( Which I like and use quite often! )
With BD-RBV03705, the Delete All Old Files message is displayed. I'm using the same BDREBUILDER configuration file for both tests.
No HD audio for these BD9 backups.

[j_m_min]

JDOBBS: Yes. Bad rips. If it is happening to only you on titles that are working fine with everyone else -- that's pretty much the only possibility.

_____________________________________________________

OK, but what does that mean exactly. I am not sure. Bad rips of what? Is it my burner? are you saying its the disc I am using? can I have it not copy the "pes packet" whatever that is? Is there anything I can do about it or try to change? IsTSMUXER a program in BD-RB? I never downloaded a TSMUXER program. Can you even open it or edit it? Is there anything I can do different at all or try to change?

[HWK]

Basically this happens when source disc is not ripped properly by ripper.

What program you were using to rip the disc.

Tsmuxer is included when you download Bd-rebuilder and is in tools folder. However don't change file inside that folder.

[Capsbackup]

@j_m_min;
Inside the folder that you unzipped BD-RB is a program called Inspect. Open that program, run it and post the results ( Highlight Copy and Paste ).
If you are using AnyDVD HD to rip the disc, start AnyDVD HD and go to settings. Highlight Video Blu-ray on the left side of the window. There need only be one check mark next to Enable Blu-ray support. Everything else has no selections checked.
If your Inspect log shows any problems, correct those first and then try again.
If AnyDVD HD had any other settings then the above mentioned, re-rip the disc after changing those settings and try again. ;)

Personally I use AnyDVD HD to "Rip Video DVD to Hard Disk". If you know how to mount an image, "Rip to Image" is ok too. You can use either method.
I would rip the disc to your hard drive rather than trying to run it from your Blu-ray drive though! Then select this as the source and try BD-RB again. :)

[Sinatrafan]

I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong thread, but I simply want to thank Mr. Dobbs for creating an outstanding video software. I'm relatively new to useing BD Rebuilder.

I thought that I'd like to try to see if Peter Jackson's extended version of KING KONG Blu Ray would work with BD Rebuilder. Yes, I realize that this film is 3 hours and 20 minutes long; I had my doubts about whether it would fit on a 4.3 gig standard dvd. Surely there would be tons of pixelization, artifacting in the final compression. But, I thought, hey.. ya never know unless you try~.

I downloaded and installed the latest beta of BD Rebuilder (Ver. 37.3 at the time of this project), set it to the HIGHEST 2 pass level, with a target of BD-5; with AC3 448 audio. (I used DVDFAB HD Dycrypter to decrypt the movie, no problems there.) I have a new Dell Inspiron 560, with an Intel Duo Core 2, three gig processor, and 4 gigs memory. The entire process took about 14 hours to complete. I then burned the project to a Verbatim standard 4.3 blank DVD with Imgburn.

.. While BD Rebuilder was "cooking", I took the opportunity to watch the original Peter Jackson's extended KING KONG blu ray for comparison purposes; watch the original, then compare the quality of the backed up copy to the original.

Later, when BD Rebuilder was done, after Imgburn finished the burn, I placed this Extended KING KONG back up disc into my Insignia NS-WBRDVD player, to watch on my 40 inch Samsung 630 LCD.

I was simply amazed. More than amazed. FLOORED might be the better word. The back up copy was EXACTLY the same as the ORIGINAL. I simply could not see any signs of artifacting, or pixelization anywhere. And I specifically looked for them. I saw that BE Rebuilder encoded the bit rate at 2,340, it still has the AC3 6 channel audio english soundtrack, and english sub title. I EXPECTED this experiment to have tons of problems, but BD Rebuilder did a marvelous job. This is simply terrific software, Mr. Dobbs. Thank you !

I DO have a question. I see in the BD Rebuilder settings, that there is an option for STANDARD dvds to be RESIZED to either 720P or 1080P. I'm somewhat skeptical..surely a standard 480I dvd can't be converted into a High Definition 1080P blu ray..so, what exactly does this option do? What is the quality of the finished projects like? Just curious.

Thanks again, Mr. Dobbs, for all the outstanding work you've done in creating BD Rebuilder!

[jdobbs]

@Sinatrafan

Thanks for the positive feedback. X264 (the encoder used within BD Rebuilder) should be credited for the excellent compression and is very clearly the finest AVC encoder around.

When you watch a 480i source on your large-screen TV it is typically converted to 1080 (by either the BD player or the monitor). The up-conversion has to be done in realtime by the unit so it typically isn't optimal. All that option does is allow AVISYNTH to do the up-conversion ahead of time using a more intricate method (more time consuming as well). It can mean a better quality conversion, especially when compared to some low end players -- but frankly I rarely use it, as my Sony player/monitor combination does a very good job.

[Sinatrafan]

Thank you, Mr. Dobbs, for clarifying what the purpose of these resizing settings are in BD Rebuilder.

Sooo, if I run the standard dvds of the Extended THE LORD OF THE RINGS set through BD Rebuilder, it may possibly result in enhancing (to a very small degree) the upconversion through my Blu Ray player. It may not find more detail, but rather simply look a bit better on screen. Hmmm, I may have to try this as a experiment.

Thanks again, Mr. Dobbs.

"C:\Users\admin\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "V:\PROCESSED HD\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS" --preset superfast --b-pyramid strict --weightp 1 --qpmin=0 --bitrate 10356 --level 4.1 --qpfile "V:\PROCESSED HD\WORKFILES\VID_00000.CHP" --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 14500 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 17500 --threads auto --slices 4 --thread-input --stats "V:\PROCESSED HD\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS.264.stats" --pass 2 --output "V:\PROCESSED HD\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS.264"

What version of BD Rebuilder are you using? That's an old command line.

Worse than that, it shows BD-RB making a .264 file and not MPEG since iirc larrsz wants to make a DVD-5 from a BD-9? larrsz have you selected for DVD (VIDEO_TS) output?

OK, this is worse than I thought. I had mistakenly thought it was working going from the original BD rip rather than the BDRB built BD-9. So I ripped my BD to hard drive and I am getting the same issue with both!

I checked inspect- get all "OKs"

Is there anything else I can check? This is wierd...

[laserfan]

Is there anything else I can check? This is wierd...Well, I haven't used BD-RB for quite a while (had to download the latest) nor have I tried the BD-to-DVD conversion, but it seems to me BD-RB wants to invoke HCencoder.exe from the Tools folder, and it's failing. Do you have any rogue installations of HCencoder on your PC?

Try also placing a line in your .INI file:

SHOW_ENCODER=1

maybe that will expose something. Maybe too open Task Manager and see if HCencoder appears there (when BD-RB says "Reencoding: VID_00001"). Look again at your LASTCMD which should be a Hank's command not x264.

I have two instances of HCenc on my computer (BR RB and DVD RB). they are in the respective folders for the programs.

When I edit the INI and add the show encoder script above, I get nothing, HCEnc does not pop up. If I go to the tools folder and start HCEnc, it opens fine, but it errors out and closes after 10 seconds.

And, apparently there is no LASTCMD in the newest beta of BDRB (at least I cannot find it doing a search)

Question: If I select Settings>Encoder> Should x264 Encoder be checked if I am making a DVD? That seems to be the only available choice.

I am really going crazy here...

[setarip_old]

@larrsz And, apparently there is no LASTCMD in the newest beta of BDRB (at least I cannot find it doing a search) It should be in the same folder as "BDREBUILDER.EXE"...

@larrsz It should be in the same folder as "BDREBUILDER.EXE"...

Does the Creation time of LASTCMD.TXT match with the time you get the "encoder failure"? What about my idea of looking at Task Mgr to see if HCencoder is being launched?

You do understand yes, that DVDs can only be MPEG2-encoded and not x264. I would try it on my own system but it is busy atm.

I don't think there is anything more complicated to the settings than selecting Movie-Only Backup in Mode, then Alternate Movie-Only Output, and finally Settings > Output Options > Target Size BD-5 (DVD-5).

Yes, its time stamp is the same time as my last trial at encoding to DVD. And, yes, I understand that x264 is for mp4 encoding and HCenc is the mpeg2 encoder.

Just for another go, I just changed the alternate output mode to mkv and it fails as well- is x264 the encoder also used for the mkv copntainer- if so, I am not sure what's going on?

I have to be doing something wrong on my end.

[laserfan]

If I go to the tools folder and start HCEnc, it opens fine, but it errors out and closes after 10 seconds.
Mine doesn't "error out" but it closes like yours. This seems very odd. A clue? I dunno. Also, my W7 x64 installation shows padlocks on all the exe and dll files in that folder--I wonder what that's about...??? :confused:

re: mkv mode it does certainly appear that x264 is used for those (options become available).

EDIT: re my "padlocks" it seems my C:\BD_Rebuilder folder and subfolders (and all files) are marked as "Read Only" by WIndows and I can't seem to unlock them. Any chance yours are the same?

And regarding the "close after 10secs" I guess that's simple: we've invoked HCencoder without giving it any settings to use.

Mine show as read only, but permissions seem OK- no different than any other files. I am on Vista x64.

[laserfan]

The HC command line isn't stored in LASTCMD.TXT.Thanks. Still, doesn't it seem odd that larrsz is generating this file (and with x264) when he errors-out on "encoding"?

Not sure about my "padlock" question except when I copy BD_Rebuilder folder from C: to D: the padlocks go away. Copied back to C: and they're still gone. Good. I will try the "make DVD" myself later.

larrsz my final thought til then is to try yourself to DL Hank's Encoder and rename/replace the one in BD_RB Tools. Maybe a permissions issue of some sort, given jdobbs renamed it for his zip package.

Thanks but I already tried that based on one of your earlier posts. I replaced the exe with the latest from Hank's site and it does the same thing. I changed it back- same.

[larrsz]

Not to hijack the thread, but as an FYI, I am reencoding a BD to BD-9 and it is flying by a-ok. I really wanted to make some DVDs for the car since I no longer buy DVDs, but it looks like I'll have to use another program. I won't post again until and (IF) there are any suggestions about what could be happening with the alternate output mode. I still wonder if there is something I am not setting right. Is there by any chance a wiki or guide to that function? Odd that the BD to BD9/5 is working fine.

[laserfan]

More "bad news" larrsz, in that my system is happily churning-away at a DVD-5 right now. In WORKFILES is placed an HC.INI file, and I can open the encoder window and see it marching through the frames.

Does BD-RB even generate the HC.INI file before the "encoder" error?

As for a guide, it's no more complicated than I stated a few posts ago.

One final thought: try BD_Rebuilder dir at the C:\ (root dir) level.

Otherwise my log looks just like yours, so I think your settings are probably correct:

If you have not tried deleting the BD-RB.ini, try that and let BD-RB generate a new one. Better yet, delete the entire folder and unzip a new one and start fresh.
Also, as laserfan suggested, place this entire unzipped folder in C:\. Then try running the BD_Rebuilder.exe from there.
Do not make any manual edits to the configuration file, only run BD-RB and make selections from within it's GUI. :cool:

Maybe a permissions issue of some sort, given jdobbs renamed it for his zip package. I see nothing that gives the impression he is using X264... the LASTCMD.TXT files just has the command that was last used with X264 -- not necessarily the one being used for this encode.

As for your recommendation -- unless he is really familiar with HCEncoder I wouldn't recommend trying to do it manually. If he does he should use the HC INI file generated by BD-RB.

[larrsz]

I even downloaded the latest beta zip file again and extracted it to C:\

I made no changes to it at all and ran inspect- recieved all "OKs"

I then ran it as administrator just to be sure and tried again with the same result. so, as jdobbs said, it must be my system. If anyone can think of anything else, let me know- otherwise, it still works great at what I originally downloaded it for and certainly worth the donation I made several times over. I have other programs to make DVDs.

No worries- and thanks for all those trying to help. I am still thinking it is some kind of rights issue with HCenc but who knows? After all , it IS Vista.:)

[larrsz]

@jdobbs:

Not sure if it is possible, but this program has moved so far ahead that I think it needs its own forum section rather than one long thread. My issue alone took so many posts it could easily be its own thred. And again I appologize for the number of posts for something that is apparently only my issue.

Just a suggestion.

[CV91913]

The one thing that might affect that would be the addition of HD Audio settings to the checks for resuming -- are you sure it hasn't changed between the two starts? I'll look at it and make sure it is working correctly.

I have not seen any resolution discussed on this issue. I have done somewhere between 70-80 backups (I am in the S's) and the only problem I have had in many months is a failure in Phase 2 with a "unable to build file structure" error. In the past I have always just pressed the "backup" button and let it restart phase 2 and 90% of the time it will just continue and complete. But, with 37.05 the restart comes up with a dialog box that says the path is not empty and asks if I want to delete. If I click NO, it aborts, and if I click YES, it starts over from the beginning. I have made no changes to any settings...just left everything alone and pressed the Backup button. Thanks...

[laserfan]

No worries- and thanks for all those trying to help. I am still thinking it is some kind of rights issue with HCenc but who knows? After all , it IS Vista.:)I suspect you are right. Sorry you can't get it working--the idea did/does make so much sense i.e. "making DVDs from myBD-9 backups vs. the originals" given the backups are very (much) higher quality than the intended conversion-to-DVD, yet their size is half to a fourth that of an original BD program. Oughta make a DVD in a much shorter time period than using the original. :)

[Lexman]

Great software; have performed scores of successful rebuilds to BD. However, as I have a media client now I would prefer mkv output.

On 3 different discs while trying to create mkv files I'm getting the same error: failure to re-encode the video.

Strangely, if I then change the output mode to Movie Only, it works perfectly. Note that all other settings remain completely unchanged.

This is a log file showing 3 attempts on one of the discs:

the initial failed mkv attempt
the second attempt, a successful BD rebuild
the third attempt is another failed mkv

I have not seen any resolution discussed on this issue. I have done somewhere between 70-80 backups (I am in the S's) and the only problem I have had in many months is a failure in Phase 2 with a "unable to build file structure" error. In the past I have always just pressed the "backup" button and let it restart phase 2 and 90% of the time it will just continue and complete. But, with 37.05 the restart comes up with a dialog box that says the path is not empty and asks if I want to delete. If I click NO, it aborts, and if I click YES, it starts over from the beginning. I have made no changes to any settings...just left everything alone and pressed the Backup button. Thanks...

If you need to resume a previous attempt, try using the same BD-RB configuration file but with the previous BD-RBv37.04. Remember all settings, audio, subs, etc... must be exactly as they were initially set for the original backup.

First - fantastic software. I have been using it since v.0.34.04 and LOVE it. I have made a donation as well.

I just downloaded v0.37.05 and it fails on the movie 2012 (ripped with anydv to hard drive).

I tried falling back to v.37.04 and it works perfectly on the same rip.

I'm not sure what you need me to post but judging from the other threads here's:

Has anyone copied Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix ? I have copied Harry Potter 1 - 4 with no problems.
when I go to open the file on my hardrive I get "Selected source is not BD format" That is in movie only mode.
Now if I put it in full backup it opens, but shows over 5 hours of time?? If I try to run it it says "Target to small" to 25 gb disc.
I don't get it!
I re ripped it to the hardrive 3 times,that didnt work, AnyDVD HD 6.7.8.0
went and got a new disc same thing.

BDinfo shows 2hrs 18 min, and it will play in TmT 3
Looking for any ideas ?
Thanks

[CaptainTivo]

Hi all,
Just did a full backup of Fantasia (Region A) commercial BD. I burned it to a 9 gig DVD+R DL. When I try to play it in my LG BD390, it refused to play it because it was "the wrong region". It plays fine on TMT.
I have made a couple of dozen movie-only AVCHD disc and they have all played fine (does AVCHD even have regions?) Has anyone else had this problem? I tried searching for region and 'wrong region' but nothing was applicable. I am using ANYDVD to rip and IMGburn to burn. Is there some setting that I need to make to set the region? Thanks.

I did try .04 and .03 and got the same results. The only thing I was able to do was use .04 and start it all over again. It was successful.

Hi,
how can I select an angle if the source BD offers multi-angle? RTFM - I but I didn't found anything.. Is there such a feature? I would expect an item in "MODE / Movie-only Playlist"...

[jdobbs]

I'd implemented the HD_AUDIO with a bit of a logic error.

[jdobbs]

Hi,
how can I select an angle if the source BD offers multi-angle? RTFM - I but I didn't found anything.. Is there such a feature? I would expect an item in "MODE / Movie-only Playlist"... Right now BD-RB it selects the first angle. I'll have to add an angle selection. Angles are fairly rare in Blu-Ray. Most of the time alternate playlists are used since they can do pretty much the same thing how angles are typically used.

I'll just add some additional choices to the playlist selection (add the angle to the end of the selection).

[jdobbs]

Sorry for the slow responses... I was working on my rooftop internet connection a few days ago, and the ladder collapsed when I started to come down - broke some bones along with and my pride. I've been hobbling around on crutches... and my will-to-work hasn't been at its highest level.

[worknstiff]

Very sorry to hear of the mishap, I hope for a fast recovery from the fall. I can only hope that you have a good medical plan cause such a fall around here can set you back about 25k. I have to ask if the "rooftop internet connection" was satellite internet? I had always thiought that the upload had too much lag to be worth it, did they finally fix that? At any rate hope you get well quickly and I will send a dination to help defray the "exorbitantly high hidden cost" of your internet service. thanks again for all the hardwork, worknstiff

It's a localized 4G wireless connection. I was straightening out some wiring that comes down from the antenna because we'd has a few days of warmth and the snow had melted.

I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong thread, but I simply want to thank Mr. Dobbs for creating an outstanding video software. I'm relatively new to useing BD Rebuilder.

I thought that I'd like to try to see if Peter Jackson's extended version of KING KONG Blu Ray would work with BD Rebuilder. Yes, I realize that this film is 3 hours and 20 minutes long; I had my doubts about whether it would fit on a 4.3 gig standard dvd. Surely there would be tons of pixelization, artifacting in the final compression. But, I thought, hey.. ya never know unless you try~.

I downloaded and installed the latest beta of BD Rebuilder (Ver. 37.3 at the time of this project), set it to the HIGHEST 2 pass level, with a target of BD-5; with AC3 448 audio. (I used DVDFAB HD Dycrypter to decrypt the movie, no problems there.) I have a new Dell Inspiron 560, with an Intel Duo Core 2, three gig processor, and 4 gigs memory. The entire process took about 14 hours to complete. I then burned the project to a Verbatim standard 4.3 blank DVD with Imgburn.

.. While BD Rebuilder was "cooking", I took the opportunity to watch the original Peter Jackson's extended KING KONG blu ray for comparison purposes; watch the original, then compare the quality of the backed up copy to the original.

Later, when BD Rebuilder was done, after Imgburn finished the burn, I placed this Extended KING KONG back up disc into my Insignia NS-WBRDVD player, to watch on my 40 inch Samsung 630 LCD.

I was simply amazed. More than amazed. FLOORED might be the better word. The back up copy was EXACTLY the same as the ORIGINAL. I simply could not see any signs of artifacting, or pixelization anywhere. And I specifically looked for them. I saw that BE Rebuilder encoded the bit rate at 2,340, it still has the AC3 6 channel audio english soundtrack, and english sub title. I EXPECTED this experiment to have tons of problems, but BD Rebuilder did a marvelous job. This is simply terrific software, Mr. Dobbs. Thank you !

I DO have a question. I see in the BD Rebuilder settings, that there is an option for STANDARD dvds to be RESIZED to either 720P or 1080P. I'm somewhat skeptical..surely a standard 480I dvd can't be converted into a High Definition 1080P blu ray..so, what exactly does this option do? What is the quality of the finished projects like? Just curious.

Thanks again, Mr. Dobbs, for all the outstanding work you've done in creating BD Rebuilder!

I pretty much want to echo everything said above, I also did a similar test but I used Avatar, and I already told myself that it was probably going to look very bad, but I really wanted to test encoding that movie down to BD5 for my little Boy, I have a Quad Core PC with 8 GB's RAM so it didn't take to long to try it out, while I was testing it on my 65" Mits HDTV my oldest Son stopped over and commented on how Avatar really looked friggin great, after I told him it was an encode on a single-layer DVD'r we were both in shock LOL, jdobbs you have a kick ass piece of software here that a lot of us really love, THANK YOU very much.

I do have a question regarding the standard definition upscaled to either 720 or 1080 though, this is only for standard definition video on the Blu-ray right? we can't just open a standard DVD with BD-RB can we? also, would you be so kind as to give an example of how BD-RB upscales the video using Avisynth, just curious how this is executed.

Sorry for this post not being a bug report, so far I have come across none, and I read the above and just had to share my Avatar experience.

[jdobbs]

@thegame

It just uses Spline16Resize(). It also uses a deinterlacer if the source is interlaced and the output is 720p. 720p also requires frame doubling. Personally I think going to 1080 is better -- as the video rate is lower and BD-RB will convert it to 23.976fps progressive when the source has pulldown.

[Rich86]

I honestly do not know if this is a bug - or I am doing something wrong, or the program just doesn't support this.
When processing a blu-ray title to "movie only alternate output" = DVD9 or DVD5, I cannot seem to retain any subtitles.
For example, I am working with a swedish title that has both swedish and english audio tracks, and english subtitles.
Both the audio tracks are retained, but the english subtitles are not making the trip to the output DVD structure.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

[big_moviefreak]

jdobbs I did the movie only backup strange thing is some backups work some do not..I just did Due Date full backup..but there was no compression needed no problems also did Soul to Take...Should I just uninstall ffdshow and Matroska Splitter and be sure I using the versions from the install page.. Can you see if you can do movie only backup..

Yesterday I started getting this error. I happens at the end of the 2nd pass if and prior to the audio being recoded. When I close the window the encode continues successfully.

Last week I installed Vista SP2 and did a encode but to a BD25 with no audio recode and didn’t get the error.

[Rich86]

BD-RB doesn't support subtitles yet for DVD-5/9 output.

I was afraid of that. Is that capability on the horizon for BD-RB? Thanks.

It's not a big problem unless it's a batch job

It's not a big problem unless it's a batch jobAre you using the versions of software I link in the first post of the bug thread and the ones shpped in the ZIP file? You might get that problem with the wrong version of AVISYNTH or NicAudio, for instance.

[setarip_old]

@sparky99999

I'm afraid I have no further thoughts/suggestions regarding your problem.

Can you NOW properly/successfully use BD-RB to process OTHER Blu-ray discs?

[big_moviefreak]

@jdobbs Reinstalled all needed applications..
But in the end issue may have been I ran out of disk space on the partition I use to store my backups.
Once I cleared disk space backup completed fine for Movie stone.
Thanks for your help..

Going to try doing a backup of Unstoppable tonight..

I should be but a few weeks ago I reinstalled Zoomplayer and something may have been updated.

I will reinstall all of them and see how it goes.:thanks:

Yes I am able to process all other discs, so it's either a bad batch or something is out of spec with that one.

Sorry to pop in cold like this, but what's the latest info on Cinavia? Using DVDFab 8.0.7.3 I can rip "The Other Guys" but it forces me to make a direct dupe of the 46GB straight to BD burner only, no storage on the HDD to run in BD Rebuilder (DVDFab makes a 1:1 protected image, evidently).

I had seen jdobbs mention in another thread that we would need to rip the English audio, remux it and remix it. Just wondering if that actually works...

Thanks!

Cinavia is only an issue if you are playing a backup copy of an infected title using a player that has the cinavia program code hidden in the firmware. To date, I believe these are primarily folks who use a PS3 to play back their movies, as Sony forced a firmware update on them that contained the cinavia code hidden in it.
DVDFab does not force you to make a direct dupe, although it does warn you that the title is infected with cinavia and offers the option to burn a protected disc if your burner supports that. Keep in mind that DVDFab's "protected disc" interim "solution" is mostly only good for PS3 users, as very few standalone blu-ray players are capable of playing one of those DVDFab created protected discs, as the format of those discs (BDMV-REC) is not supported by most standalone blu-ray players.
You should be able to rip the title to your hard drive just like before, if you uncheck the appropriate box on the screen, and process it via BD-RB if you like..
I do not believe anyone has a proven method to remove the cinavia audio signal(s) from an infected title . . yet . .

Also me, but if I'm not mistaken, that means a 1:1 copy, so I'd need a BD-50 blank to burn this protected title. Not worth it for this one.

This statement gives me pause. So if I UNCHECK the option to create the protected disc, then I can rip to HDD. But...
I do not believe anyone has a proven method to remove the cinavia audio signal(s) from an infected title . . yet . .
Then why would I want to attempt the HDD rip? If I can't overcome the protection, what's the point of running it through BD Rebuilder?

Thanks for the quick reply, BTW!

[drmih]

To a certain extent what's the point of doing anything with it at all - just play your original disc and there's no issue with cinavia. However, if you want a safe backup copy, you can still make one using bd-rb which will work on the majority of players (and now that the ps3 is hacked I'm sure that one of the custom firmwares may not have the protection in it in the future) and then in the future if a solution is found, you'd only need to process the audio.

If your goal is to play a backup copy of a cinavia infected title on a PS3 that has the cinavia code in the firmware - then yes - your only current option is to use DVDFab to create a BDMV-REC copy that should play in your PS3, but probably not in any standalone players. I think the DVDFab interim solution is mostly worthless, as it requires a burner that can create a BDMV-REC disc (not all do), the resulting copy is playable only on 1 type of device and what is to stop Sony from jamming another firmware update onto your PS3 to slam the door on the BDMV-REC titles with cinavia from playing? I do not use a PS3 and have adopted a different approach to cinavia infected devices and titles - I mostly avoid them if possible (meaning I refuse to buy them - I will do a $1.50 Redbox rental if it is a title I'd like to see, but that is all). Our goal should be to show Sony that the more they mess around with their copy prevention paranoia, the more revenue and profit they sacrifice.

I'm confident it isn't a problem in v0.37.05. You've likely installed something else that is interfering with the encode. Uninstall BD-RB, AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW. Remove any CODEC packs you may have installed (you don't need them with FFDSHOW). Then reinstall the BD-RB and the versions or HAALI, AVISYNTH and FFDSHOW in the first post of the thread. I think that will make your problems go away.

I went back to the previous version, 0.37.04, and it converted without any problems.
So, I uninstalled everything and resinstalled all programs from the first page in this
thread, and I get the same results. The movie converts fine with 0.37.04, but fails
0.37.05. I am assuming something has changed in the new version. However, if
there are any suggestions as to what I can do on my end, please feel free to share.
As stated, I have already re-installed all the software.Thanks for your time. Later.

[jdobbs]

I'll do a few test encodes to MKV using your INI and see what I can find.

[jdobbs]

@skulker and acerjen

I think I found both your problems. It was a variable that was declared incorrectly. The error was caused by the new code for selecting keyint sizes based on output bitrate. It only affects MKV output.

You'll see a fix in the next release.

[skulker]

@skulker

I'm confident it isn't a problem in v0.37.05. You've likely installed something else that is interfering with the encode. Uninstall BD-RB, AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW.

I think that will make your problems go away.

Uninstalled, used a registry cleaner, rebooted, reinstalled.

Still fails with v0.37.05

I don't have any other CODEC packs installed. I even removed VLC just in case it was interfering.

Hi!

"jdobbs" has just answered you in Post#11418 (just above your most recent post)...

[skulker]

Thank you! :thanks:

I guess our postings crossed in the night. :)

I will be looking for the next release.

You are DA MAN!

[Dofin]

Well, your definition of "works" might be different than mine. If it runs but looks awful -- that's not "works" for me. The reason I watch blu-ray is for the quality.

An experimental version of the secondary DTS-Express code will be in the next release. You will be able to enable the function with a hidden option.
That would be nice regarding DTS Express issue. Thanks.

[jdobbs]

That would be nice regarding DTS Express issue. Thanks. Yeah... but unfortunately if it doesn't work, I can't release it -- and right now it doesn't work. If you look a few posts down from that one you'll see that I said it wasn't going to be released.

[Giddeon]

Yeah... but unfortunately if it doesn't work, I can't release it -- and right now it doesn't work. If you look a few posts down from that one you'll see that I said it wasn't going to be released.

Would I be right in saying that BDRebuilder cannot work with DTS Express because TSMuxer cannot handle it?

NVM, went reading, got my answer. Good luck JDobbs, if you manage it it looks like you'll be the first. Unless someone can get hold of Roman and ask him to sort it out lol

Has anyone noticed their ram usage skyrocket and max out during the rebuilding stage?

Over the last month or two, i've noticed on about half the backups I've done when I get to the rebuild stage, bd-rb ends up maxing out all available physical memory in my machine. If I abort the process, and rebuild manually with tsmuxer gui, using the encoded files from BD-RB, I don't see the memory leak.

BTW, this is on a Windows Server 2008 machine.

BTW, this is on a Windows Server 2008 machine. It doesn't happen to me... also it would seem that if it were a BD-RB bug it would do it all the time, wouldn't it? All BD-RB is doing in most of the rebuild it a TSMUXER call and a wait for completion. There really isn't anything I can think of that could be a "memory leak".

If you can find something that can make it consistently repeatable, please give me the details. Unfortunately, if I can't repeat it, I can't fix it.

It may not be BD-RB (as you said, it's just a call to tsmuxer). I'm just wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior.

I should point out that neither tsmuxer or bd-rb processes show high memory usage in task manager. You can watch overall system memory usage climb throughout the rebuild stage, eventually maxing out. If I abort the rebuild stage physical memory drops back down to normal.

I'm trying to find steps to re-produce this and will let you know.

[DarWun]

If you can find something that can make it consistently repeatable, please give me the details. Unfortunately, if I can't repeat it, I can't fix it.

I've noticed the maxed out memory use happening with the past few releases. It puzzled me as it was happening only during the rebuild phase. I can multi-task and do whatever I want while the reencode is going on. But as soon as the rebuild starts, my system becomes sluggish. FYI I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on a machine with i950 processor and 6gig of ram.

I do most rebuilds in unattended batch mode overnight, so I haven't noticed it recently. But every single one I've run while I'm trying to use the computer for other things during the encode maxed out memory use during the rebuild phase. I'll start up a couple when I get home from work to see if I can find any useful information to pass back to you.

Just for transparency, I should point out that I do have a newer version of Haali installed than the one listed on the first page. I wasn't able to get subtitles working properly on my media server without updating it. Whenever I have an issue with BD Rebuilder (which has only been once in the past year), I downgrade Haali to the proper version to make sure it is not the reason for the issue. I wouldn't think Haali has anything to do with the rebuild phase, but I figured I should throw it out there anyway just in case.

[JJB]

I don't have any problem with "Memory Leaks" or a Memory problem on any version of Windows that I use BD-RB on. Windows uses a page file to make up for memory shortages.

Actually, any leaks I have are done in the back yard after a massive intake of Adult beverages....:p

Funny you should mention that, yes I have been experiencing that. Just now infact. Came to the computer and it's decided to increase virtual ram cause the rest (4GB) is all used up! lol

The other day I started an encode and it was as if it was running in high priority, the whole system was unresponsive and i had to shut down the encode.

I'm wondering if it might be something to do with the 64bit version of x264, nothing to go on for that by the way, just seems that otehrs who hae experienced it might be on 64 bit. Maybe not though.

I'll keep my eyes open and see if i can pinpoint it.

I'll keep my eyes open and see if i can pinpoint it. It might just be caching. The rebuild phase is the point in the process with the most disc I/O. Many gigabytes of data are read and written. It wouldn't be surprising at all, depending upon your system settings, for the computer to use as much free memory as it can allocate to speed things up.

As for the system being unresponsive -- I think you might be looking at other problems your system could be having and blaming an unrelated event. I'm using the 64 bit version of Window 7 and am having no issues whatsoever.

[laserfan]

The rebuild phase is the point in the process with the most disc I/O.Don't hate me please (for this what amounts to a "feature" request) but it sure would be nice to be able to specify drive A for the workfiles and drive B for the output (as it works for DVD-RB iirc). :)

I usually juggle 4 drives at once, trying to achieve minimum disk thrashing: OS, A, B, BD

I have tried this one with both 0.37.04 and 0.37.05
Same results with both versions.
Thanks. Later.

It worked differently in DVD-RB. I've tested it in BD-RB -- and it just doesn't make any noticable speed difference.

This may be so, jdobbs but me and others (as seen in the suggestions thread) would really like it if you could implement this anyway. It would make my life a whole lot easier, if i could have the iso's created directly on the drive where as now i have to move them myself later after the iso creation is complete.

It worked differently in DVD-RB. I've tested it in BD-RB -- and it just doesn't make any noticable speed difference.Maybe not for the encoding portion, but it certainly will speed up muxing and ISO creation (unless you're using a SSD and not a spinning HD).

[DKdude]

just had to reinstall my machine (win7 64bit)

now between video streams it completly takes over my pc - i cant do anything until it starts on the next stream - then the pc is fine

dident have that problem before - any ideas?

[Paddy97]

Something broke on my machine in the 37.05 version compared to the 37.04.

As you can see there is a failure with the 05 version when it comes to video reencode whereas the 04 version is flawless.

Same RIP, same machine, both BD-RB are non altered just extracted from their ZIP files.
05 tried with both LAVF disabled and enabled. That was the only thing I could think of to test.

Since you're creating an MKV it may be related to the issue that jdobbs talks about in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1481183#post1481183).

[Rumbah]

I, too, noticed the RAM problem on my PC.
In the creating m2ts phase everything is fine but in the creating movie only BD structure phase the memory usage causes my system to barely respond as Windows begins swapping. In the first picture you can see the ram usage for the m2ts creation and when it begins to rise that's the creating movie only BD structure(when you look at the process list neither BD-RB nor tsmuxer are shown with that much memory, tsmuxer with 250-300 MB as in the m2ts creation phase).
In the second picture you see the memory usage after BD-RB is finished and more than 3 GB are released.

I'm bedridden right now (ankle surgery after a fall) so it will probably be a couple of days before I can release the new version. But I'm sure it will fix this for everyone.

Luckily I can still use my iPad from bed so I can read reports.

And to continue with bug reports replies goes above and beyond!! ;)

Our best wishes and prayers are with you for a full and prompt recovery. Take care.

this version is working fine for me windows Xp intel core duo, I was wondering if there is any way you can add a pause button to the controls, thanks for all your hard work JD I will continue to donate as I can .

@ JDobbs

Just sent a donation thanks for a great piece of software, hopefully it may help you sort the DTS express problem...........I hope you are back on your feet soon.

@jdobbs
My source is AVC 1080i 25fps, MBAFF, but content is progressive.
DB-RB encoded it as 1080p25 (progressive) which is not blu-ray compliant (correct me if I am wrong).
Should I have selected "Use DECOMB filter on interlaced sources" in the setup and insert DEINTERLACER_TYPE=4 in the .ini for this source?

[CV91913]

First, and foremost, sorry to hear you are laid up. Get well soon.

For a long time I have seen this error while processing titles that have a lot of small files. At first I chalked it up to forgetting to shutdown my virus checker, but have found that does not seem to help. I first processed this title with 37.05 but when I got the error I could not restart so I went back to 37.04. As you will see from the logs, this error occurred multiple times. Each time I just hit the backup button and told it to resume. Because of the number of files the logs are quite large so I did not post the .ini, .cmd or inspect files. The inspect reports no problems. Virus checking is turned off.

Machine is Intel Dual Core (2.97) with 4 gb memory and 700 gb of free disk space (unfragmented)

Ive been using BDrebuilder for ages now, but Ive just tried to a full blu-ray film, I press on `Backup` but a window comes up `Target is too small to continue`.

Can you help?

:thanks:

[waynezo]

Since installing v0.37.05 my computer no longer goes into sleep mode while encoding.

Love BDRB!

[waynezo]

I'm bedridden right now (ankle surgery after a fall) so it will probably be a couple of days before I can release the new version. But I'm sure it will fix this for everyone.

Luckily I can still use my iPad from bed so I can read reports.

Here's wishing you a fast recovery!

[ftb32]

Hope you recover soon mi amigo..

Ive been using BDrebuilder for ages now, but Ive just tried to a full blu-ray film, I press on `Backup` but a window comes up `Target is too small to continue`.

Can you help?

:thanks: That means that the combined size of audio you have chosen is too big to fit on the target you have selected. There is no room left for video even at 0Kbs.

I made a conversion using "Alternate movie only Output mode" to PAL DVD5.
Source audio is AC3 5.1, 448 kbps. I wanted to convert the audio to 2-ch 192.
In the setup I selected both
"Do not reencode AC3 (blu-ray only)", and
"Use 192 kbps, 2 ch for AC3 encoding"
The recoded audio became 192 kbps 5.1 rather than 2 ch.
Is this a bug or intentional?

Here the .avs:
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.37.05 (beta)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VIDEO\BD_Rebuilder\tools\nicaudio.dll")
audio=NicAC3Source("00000.track_4352.ac3").Amplify(1.2)
audio = (AudioChannels(audio) > 6) ? GetChannel(audio,1,2,3,4,7,8) : audio
ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))

ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))The settings in SETUP don't apply to alternate output -- they only apply to BD output. The ALTERNATE output settings are very limited and are established in ALTERNATE.TXT (in the MISC folder).

I don't see, though, how it could ever come out to 192Kbs for ALTERNATE/DVD-5 DD5.1 (unless you have modified ALTERNATE.TXT). DVD-5 should always use 448Kbs for 5.1. I'll look at it.

[Edit] Well -- I stand corrected. It does use the selected audio settings (in SETUP) in ALTERNATE DVD-5 and DVD-9 encoding. Good catch. The AVS creation doesn't consider the fact that ALTERNATE DVD uses those settings and that's why the conversion from DD5.1->DD2.0 isn't done. I'll fix it for the next release.

[Sharc]

....I'll fix it for the next release.
Most important: first get your ankle fixed!
Perhaps you can have a look at my earlier post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1482051#post1482051)where I managed to produce a non-compliant blu-ray stream.

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs
My source is AVC 1080i 25fps, MBAFF, but content is progressive.
DB-RB encoded it as 1080p25 (progressive) which is not blu-ray compliant (correct me if I am wrong).
Should I have selected "Use DECOMB filter on interlaced sources" in the setup and insert DEINTERLACER_TYPE=4 in the .ini for this source?You shouldn't have to do anything special. I'm not sure how BD-RB could encode it to 1080p25, since that isn't even one of the options it follows -- but I'll look. It the original is interlaced, BD-RB will always reencode it interlaced. If you use DECOMB it will encode it as progressive but flag it ("fake-interlaced") as interlaced.

No preprocessing? I know there are tools that will create a BD structure and flag the video as 1080 25fps progressive (even though it is illegal). I'm not sure what BD-RB will do if it is fed bad information.

No preprocessing. DGIndexNV and MediaInfo report the ripped stream as MBAFF, 25fps. DB-RB reports 1080i, 25fps. TSMuxer reports "Resolution: 1920:1080i, Frame rate: 25". eac3to reports "h264/AVC, 1080i50 (16:9)".
The actual content however is progressive (identical field pairs, similar to most 'interlaced' DVDs). So it seems it would be a candidate for progressive encoding with --fake interlaced, but it looks as if --fake interlaced got lost somewhere along the chain.

Added:
Converting the same source in Alternate Mode to PAL DVD-5:
Script:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VIDEO\BD_Rebuilder\tools\decomb521.dll")
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)
BilinearResize(720,576)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(50000,1000)
- HCenc encodes it as interlaced .m2v with 50 frames/s=100 fields/s. Content is progressive, i.e. no temporal movement between the two fields of a frame. Number of frames/fields=162'557/325'114. Movie duration 50% of the original=double speed during playback. File size too small (50%).
- TSmuxer creates the .mpv interlaced with 25 frames/s=50 fields/s. Movie duration still reported (MPC_HC) to be 50% but playback speed is now correct@25fps.
- DVDAuthor creates the .vob at 25 progressive frames. Number of frames/fields=162'549/325'098. Movie duration and playback speed correct 100% of the original.
=> The final authored DVD fills the DVD-5 medium to 53 % only, movie duration and playback speed are correct.

Added 2:
Analyzing the original once more (using AvSP) indicates that it is 217.318 fields/s = 108.659 frames/s, progressive content i.e. the temporal resolution is 108.659 frames/s. Number of frames/fields=706'523/1'413'046.
(I would assume that the odd framerates are due to rounding effects and should in fact be 100 frames/s or 200 fields/s respectively.)

Irritating ...... :confused:
Is the exceptional temporal resolution of 100 pictures/s causing the problems?
I have increasing doubts whether the original is really blu-ray compliant or is properly flagged.

- HCenc encodes it as interlaced .m2v with 50 frames/s=100 fields/s. Content is progressive, i.e. no temporal movement between the two fields of a frame. Number of frames/fields=162'557/325'114. Movie duration 50% of the original=double speed during playback. File size too small (50%).
- TSmuxer creates the .mpv interlaced with 25 frames/s=50 fields/s. Movie duration still reported (MPC_HC) to be 50% but playback speed is now correct@25fps.
- DVDAuthor creates the .vob at 25 progressive frames. Number of frames/fields=162'549/325'098. Movie duration and playback speed correct 100% of the original.
=> The final authored DVD fills the DVD-5 medium to 53 % only, movie duration and playback speed are correct.

Added 2:
Analyzing the original once more (using AvSP) indicates that it is 217.318 fields/s = 108.659 frames/s, progressive content i.e. the temporal resolution is 108.659 frames/s. Number of frames/fields=706'523/1'413'046.
(I would assume that the odd framerates are due to rounding effects and should in fact be 100 frames/s or 200 fields/s respectively.)

Irritating ...... :confused:
Is the exceptional temporal resolution of 100 pictures/s causing the problems?
I have increasing doubts whether the original is really blu-ray compliant or is properly flagged.

Do you have "Convert SD to HD (720p)" set? That script looks like it is -- and BD-RB may be getting confused as a result. I'll follow the logic and see it that is what is happening.

If what you are saying in your second "added" statement is true, and AvSP is anywhere near right -- then the source would have to be illegal to begin with. I'd have a hard time believing a "rounding error" could result in being off by more than 8%.

Can you open the source with BDEDIT and see what the CLPI and MPLS say for video type and rate?

No, it has not been set.
But probably "Resize - 1080p to 720p" has been set. I don't think this would have interfered with the Alternate Mode backup because it has always worked with other sources before.

I need some advice in choosing the audio streams to keep in a disc which incorporates seamless branching. For instance, the Apocalypse Now disc contains both the original and redux versions each reconstructed through two different playlists. Each M2ts or vid segment contains what appears to be two identical DTS-HD and two AC3 tracks for the movie and commentary soundtrack respectively.

I made two rebuilder compressions to 25 g each in full backup mode. the first where I kept all audio tracks, and second where I selected only the first DTS and first AC3, blanking the 2nd and 4th. I noticed the video bitrate of the second was substantially higher but the commentary on the original version was not operable but works on the redux. It appears that the movie soundtrack works on both. Of course as expected, when all the audio tracks were selected in the first encode, all commentary tracks worked fine.

Is there a rule of thumb on which audio tracks you should select when dealing with seamless branching?

Thanks. I also do believe that I have seen it working before and I suspect that something may be odd with this particular stream. If you prefer I could PM you a snippet.

Added:
For comparison I took another 1080i25 stream. It doesn't show the strange frame rate anomalies as the previous one, but BD-RB nevertheless encodes it as 1080p25.

Thanks for this software.

If I may suggest a new hidden option, I think a way to force the HD audio to be kept at any target size would be nice for such cases where the audio is more important than the video like in concert BD.

I have a similar problem to Dofin (#11251). I have used AnyDVD-HD, BD Rebuilder and ImgBurn to make a movie-only BD-25 backup of The Criterion Collection Blu-Ray version of Howard's End. The disc plays fine on my Samsung BD-C5500 player, but my new Oppo BDP-93 says "Unknown Disc" and will not play it (even with the latest firmware BDP9x-38-0126). (Also, Windows Explorer with XP Home SP3 and an LG BH08LS20 Blu-Ray drive can display the file format of the original disc, but not the BD Rebuilder disk.) Any suggestions about how to get BD Rebuilder to make BD-25 disks that play on an Oppo-93?

If Windows Explorer doesn't show the contents of the disc, it's a recording problem. Try burning again.

Bluray burners are cheap and quality BD-R media is now cheaper than DVD DL's. You should considering switching over to this medium if you're interested in keeping HD audio with a watchable video bit rate.

Has anyone copied Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix ? I have copied Harry Potter 1 - 4 with no problems.
when I go to open the file on my hardrive I get "Selected source is not BD format" That is in movie only mode.
Now if I put it in full backup it opens, but shows over 5 hours of time?? If I try to run it it says "Target to small" to 25 gb disc.
I don't get it!
I re ripped it to the hardrive 3 times,that didnt work, AnyDVD HD 6.7.8.0
went and got a new disc same thing.

BDinfo shows 2hrs 18 min, and it will play in TmT 3
Looking for any ideas ?
Thanks

Anybody experience the issue of blocking (see enclosed picture)? I am seeing this on most if not all encoding on bd rebuilder. I am using version 0.37.04 on windows xp. I followed recommendation 8. which will allow WMV11 codec to be used. That did not improve the situation. My encode settings are high quality, one pass abr, targeted to a BD-25.

If you are getting blocking with output to BD-25, it is most likely a problem with the decoding. The bitrates involved in BD-25 are unlikely to ever result in blocking unless the source is super large (like 6 hours or more).

Run INSPECT.EXE -- I suspect that somehow the CODEC is a problem in the frame serving. It's possible that some other program you have installed in intercepting and using an inferior CODEC.

I'll make a stupid comment here, see if it applies to your situ. I had run the anime 'Akira' through BD-RB, and was getting really bad blocking issues in the playback, even though it was to a BD-25. I went back through the settings, and found that the primary track was Japanese, and both the English and Japanese tracks were being kept as full quality DTS-HD, which was pushing the video down to something ridiculous like 150Kbps.

I decided to drop the Japanese track completely as a test, and that did the trick; the video came through at around 8000Kbps. :rolleyes:

I am recording some movies from my tivo (1080i, 384kbps DD) which I remove commercials from and then use tsMuxer to convert them to BDs which works fine. This gives me a BD file of about 16GB for a 2 hr movie that plays fine when burned with imgburn to a BD disc.

Due to cost and since these are from TV channels (most have station ID's etc in the lower corners), I decided to use BDRB to reencode most of these to fit on BD-9 discs. However, I am getting no audio when using BDRB on these files. When I open the file in BDRB, I see the video and the audio, but the audio has a red "x" beside it and says AUD_001 AC3 Multi-Ch. Unknown. I can double click the "x" and it changes to a Windows Media player icon. However, no matter what I do I get a file out of BD-RB with no audio at all.

Interlaced sources are encoded progressive ....FWIW, I found the same thing (http://club.myce.com/f142/bd-rebuilder-interlaced-input-interlaced-output-319550/) you did with v 0.37.03 (haven't tried any newer versions). Interlaced BD's are encoded as progressive. However, since my source was not untouched (already run through Clown BD to make it movie only) I did not post anything here. I eventually did the whole process manually instead of using BD Rebuilder.

I eventually did the whole process manually instead of using BD Rebuilder. I don't get it. I've done hundreds of interlaced sources... especially 720x480i and they all encode as interlaced.

I haven't had much opportunity to work on BD-RB the last few days. I'll run a 1080i/25fps source through tomorrow. If it encodes incorrectly I will fix it and hopefully get a version out either late tomorrow or Sunday.

[soneca]

I, too, noticed the RAM problem on my PC.
In the creating m2ts phase everything is fine but in the creating movie only BD structure phase the memory usage causes my system to barely respond as Windows begins swapping. In the first picture you can see the ram usage for the m2ts creation and when it begins to rise that's the creating movie only BD structure(when you look at the process list neither BD-RB nor tsmuxer are shown with that much memory, tsmuxer with 250-300 MB as in the m2ts creation phase).
In the second picture you see the memory usage after BD-RB is finished and more than 3 GB are released.


I also noticed that excessive consumption of memory in "Performing CRF Prediction"...:eek:

Same for me.
Interlaced sources are encoded progressive...

Tested on: Paul McCartney - The Space Within Us 2005 US Tour
1080i/29.970fps
BD Rebuilder v0.37.05

I've had the same problem, tried doing 'Depeche Mode - Tour Of The Universe' blu ray, which is 1080i/29.97. Resultant BD-RB encode was progressive.

[larrsz]

Try going to the SETUP menu and click/add "und" to your audio selection list (undeterminted).

OK, so I got it to work but not by that method (I cannot see/find a checkbox for UND in the settings area, perhaps you can tell me where to find that).

Instead, I removed all check boxes from the audio section under audio settings. I had been trying to use "do not reencode AC3" thinking it would leave the 384kbps alone but instead I was getting no audio at all. With nothing checked, I am at least getting AC3 but it is being reencoded to 640kbps.

Maybe, if you can tell me where the setting is you are talking about, I can get it to pass the 384k stream without taking it to 640. However, if not, it still works for me.

[larrsz]

I don't get it. I've done hundreds of interlaced sources... especially 720x480i and they all encode as interlaced.

I haven't had much opportunity to work on BD-RB the last few days. I'll run a 1080i/25fps source through tomorrow. If it encodes incorrectly I will fix it and hopefully get a version out either late tomorrow or Sunday.

@jdobbs

Just an FYI as I saw these comments, the file I asked about yesterday (with the "und" ac3 track) was 1080i. When I ran it through BD-RB, MediaInfo reports the resultant file is progressive. Still reports 29.97fps but "progressive". The file I started with shows 29.97 interlaced.

I've been able to repeat this issue, I'm guessing some change I've made recently must have caused it. I'm working on a fix and should have it out soon.

[Sharc]

If it's interlaced, then yes "--tff" should be there.
If it's being encoded at 29.97 with 1080 resolution, --tff must be there for blu-ray compliance, even if the the original should (by mistake) have been encoded as progressive.
If the original content is progressive (no temporal shift between odd and even fields) it could be encoded with --fake-interlaced, but I am not shure if BD-RB can automatically decide between --tff and --fake-interlaced options.

The "--fake-interlaced" is used within BD-RB when the source has been deinterlaced, but the format is such that progressive isn't allowed (such as 720x480). That way the output of the deinterlacing can use the efficiency associated with progressive encoding but still be included in a BD (within specifications). BD-RB makes no attempt to try and find progressive content within an interlaced stream (other than IVTC) -- in fact I can't think of any reliable way that it could be done even if I wanted to.

[Stereodude]

If it's interlaced, then yes "--tff" should be there.Well, isn't that the issue we're discussing? Specifically that interlaced 29.97i (30000/1001) FPS concerts get encoded as progressive?

It seems there are several of us who have all found the same issue. Every tool I've tried report the video stream as interlaced (eac3to, TSmuxer, & DGdecNV). Visual inspection shows it's interlaced. Even BD-Rebuilder recognizes it's interlaced.

I don't see any ambiguity on whether or not it is interlaced. :confused:

Edit: I see you edited the post that you were able to duplicate the issue, so it seems we're all on the same page now. :cool:

[jdobbs]

Well, I've found what is causing it... an If/then/else statement that is not acting correctly. The problem is that it appears to be written correctly, but for some reason it isn't hitting the "else" when the "if" is false -- weird... I'll figure it out.

[Edit] Ok. I've fixed it. You'll see it in the next release.

Does anyone know of some good free software for reporting pulldown and field order in VC-1 interlaced sources? I have a routine that is scanning the picture header and I want to verify that some of the fields are being read correctly (I wrote it a long time ago, and I can't seem to find my reference material).

[Edit] Never mind. I found my reference...

Hi jdobbs,

I just checked my source, the one I used bd rebuilder on and it plays fine (ie. no blocking). Any other ideas?

[jdobbs]

Hi jdobbs,

I just checked my source, the one I used bd rebuilder on and it plays fine (ie. no blocking). Any other ideas? You missed the point. Something is likely intercepting the FFDSHOW CODEC while it is frame serving. The problem is in your system's configuration and there is really nothing I can do about it. It's likely some other program you have installed that has "gummed up the works". I can't fix something that isn't a problem in BD-RB -- and the fact that it is happening only on your system (especially at such a high bitrate) is proof positive that the problem is on your end.

I'd like to help you -- but there's really nothing I can do. Sorry.

I have updated the first post in this thread with links to a new release of BD-RB (v0.37.06). Changes for this version:- Corrected a bug in which 1080i sources could be
incorrectly reencoded as 1080p.
- Fixed an error that could cause MKV encoding to
fail due to blank maximum bitrate in the command
line.
- Corrected an issue in which the resume function
was not functioning properly due to the recent
implementation of HD audio selection checks.
- Correct a bug in which selecting "192Kbs" audio
output in DVD-5/9 output was not first doing a
conversion to 2 channel of multichannel sources.
- Made several improvements in bitrate calculation
and threshold checks.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1913).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1913).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I'm into some trouble converting "King of Queens - Season 2" into a BD25.

The resulting image quality is fine, no doubt. But when I click "Play all episodes" it seems that BD-RB inserts some delays (black frames) between the chapters. Everytime the intro stops, the scene (chapter) changes or a new episode starts (all of this results in a chapter change) there's about 7 seconds of black frames which is very annoying.

This 7 seconds between the chapters is not in the source-BD and I played the BD-RB-converted BD in VLC and PowerDVD. Everytime the same issue.

Any idea how to fix that? :(

[big_moviefreak]

@jdobbs:Question I'm sure many of us have is how soon would you be able to add feature to retain menus and movie only with out doing a full backup?

[skulker]

@skulker

I'm confident it isn't a problem in v0.37.05. You've likely installed something else that is interfering with the encode. Uninstall BD-RB, AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW. Remove any CODEC packs you may have installed (you don't need them with FFDSHOW). Then reinstall the BD-RB and the versions or HAALI, AVISYNTH and FFDSHOW in the first post of the thread. I think that will make your problems go away.

@jdobbs

Just wanted to let you know the v0.37.06 release resolved my issue. I tested again with the titles that failed with v0.37.05

When searching videohelp for a blue ray to DVD tool (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?convert=Blu-ray%20to%20DVD) BD Rebuilder is listed first.

Does BD Rebuilder do blue ray to standard DVD (480p) or only blue ray to AVCHD burned to a DVD disc?

If it does blue ray to standard DVD, can you please show me how to set this up? I have gone through the options and can't figure out how.

Thanks for your two great products!

Start BD-RB, click "Mode", Alternate Movie-Only Output, select DVD-5 or DVD-9. ;)

I'm having this problem in "King of Queens - Season 2" on both Blu-Ray-Discs. It's exactly this set: http://www.amazon.de/King-Queens-Season-2-Blu-ray/dp/B001HY8QMC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1300297929&sr=8-1

I the latest version of 13th March I'm having a new problem:

"Failed to retrieve audio, aborted" in Title 0009. That never happened before the latest version.

In the next days I'll try "King of Queens - Season 3" and look if there's the same error.

Any idea :(?


I don't own one at the moment, sorry. I asked "which disc?" -- I know it's "King of Queens - Season 2" -- but I assume there is more than one disc.

I'm having this problem in "King of Queens - Season 2" on both Blu-Ray-Discs.

There are 2 discs in the set and the problem is in both of the discs (after rebuilding, not before).

[jdobbs]

There are 2 discs in the set and the problem is in both of the discs (after rebuilding, not before). I ordered it the set. Hopefully I'll get it tomorrow or the next day. I'll run it and see what I find. Unfortunately, though, the donations lately aren't even covering the discs I'm having to buy... I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up. I hope I can repeat it -- the one I ordered is NTSC and has 3 discs.


[Edit] Damn. I just realized the one I ordered was DVD, not BD. I don't even think "King of Queens - Season 2" has been released on Blu-Ray in the U.S. Not sure what I can do.

[omegaman7]

I just sold my secondary computer Jdobbs. Count on getting another donation. Probably significantly larger than the last one. Without BD rebuilder, I won't even bother. DVD Fab gets pretty bad reviews from what I've seen.

Check your funds buddy. You deserve it. YOur software is nothing short of epic!

Wow, I never thought, you would buy the discs yourself. I'd never asked you to do so.

However, I searched a bit and saw, that you were right: King of Queens was (so it seems) never released on BD in the US. At least Amazon doesn't list it.

But nevermind, it's no problem at all. I'll just have to take care of my discs more ;)

[colinhunt]

LPCM is still throwing curveballs, even to 0.37.06. The UK version of Deep Red (i.e. Profondo Rosso) has one VID (_00013) which contains four identical LPCM tracks. Tackling those produced this:

- [06:23:51] Reencoding: VID_00013, Pass 1 of 2
- [06:24:18] Reencoding: VID_00013, Pass 2 of 2
- [06:25:11] Video Encode complete

- [06:25:11] ReencodeAudio() 00075 1801
[14:04:06] - Failed to reencode audio, aborted

MediaInfo says this of the WAV file:

Earlier the issue seemed to be limited to very short audio files only, but this one's almost a minute long.

Also like before, it seems the first file did get encoded into AC3 as there's a "AUD_00013_4352.AC3" with proper length in the workfiles directory. This means I can save the project by making three copies of the AC3 file and renaming them accordingly, then resuming the project.

VID_00013 is actually the background for main menu. Should LPCM be kept as-is because of that?

[A.Fenderson]

Unfortunately, though, the donations lately aren't even covering the discs I'm having to buy... I'm not sure how much longer I can keep this up.

Thanks for letting us know--I love this software, and would hate to see development stop. Donation sent.

Shouldn't it be AssumeFPS(25000,1000) for a PAL DVD? FieldDeinterlace is not a bobber as I understand.
The encoded .m2v plays at double speed.
Sorry if I got this wrong.

[jdobbs]

Yes it should be. I'm not sure how that can happen, I'll have a look at it. Can you post your settings (from the INI file)?

[Edit] I just looked at the code, and the only time that can be inserted is if resizing (to 720p) is selected. Hmmm... maybe it's the combination of that setting and output to DVD that is the issue. It get's pretty complicated across all the modules with all the settings that can conflict with each other.

Try deselecting any resizing options in SETUP and see if that fixes it. If so, please report back.


[Edit again] Yep. That was it. I've corrected it for the next release.

[MickJT]

Seeing as this is the bug reporting thread, and i've found the exact (nearly) cause now, I can report a bug in here.

Known affected systems: Windows 7 64bit

BD-Rebuilder is unable to fix the DirectShow and ffdshow filter/codec settings if Win7DSFilterTweaker has been used.

Workaround solution, run FF_RESET.BAT. After that, BD-Rebuilder will be able to fix the settings properly.

Workaround solution, run FF_RESET.BAT. After that, BD-Rebuilder will be able to fix the settings properly. As I said in the other thread. How is this a bug in BD Rebuilder? The issue is Win7DSFilterTweaker and isn't my problem. I can't go around trying to fix issues caused by every other piece of software on the planet???? :confused:

The fix (as far as I'm concerned) is to not use Win7DSFilterTweaker. A good guess woudl be that it screws with rights and doesn't reset them properly.

[MickJT]

It just demonstrates there are situations in which BD-Rebuilder may not be able to modify the registry keys, and still says it was sucessful when it wasn't.

It's still a BD-Rebuilder bug, at least to say it was successful, if not anything else.

Win7DSFilterTweaker is just 1 tool that presented the bug. It could be anything. Who knows what is out there that someone may have installed prior to BD-Rebuilder that prevents it from modifying the keys.

Running FF_RESET does something which allows it to work again, so it is fixable.

I had a feeling you would say "don't use Win7DSFilterTweaker". This isn't the problem. The problem is whatever it is, there are situations where BD-Rebuilder will think it has fixed the filters and it hasn't.

This has nothing to do with Win7DSFilterTweaker which is merely what was used to present and cause this problem. No doubt one of many tools and ways that this can happen.

BD Rebuilder will no longer run! Does that mean it is a bug in BD Rebuilder and I have to somehow make it restore your hard drive?

Of course not -- that's a ridiculous thought. But it is essentially what you are telling me.

The problem isn't mine to worry about and I WILL NOT SPEND TIME TRYING TO FIX OTHER PEOPLES ISSUES.

Sorry if that's not what you want to hear. But it is the answer. End of story.

Of course not -- that's a ridiculous thought.

Damn right.

But it is essentially what you are telling me.

No.

The problem isn't mine to worry about and I WILL NOT SPEND TIME TRYING TO FIX OTHER PEOPLES ISSUES.

Then what is this thread for? It's to fix bugs.

Sorry if that's not what you want to hear. But it is fact. End of story.

This is a bug. In some circumstances BD-Rebuilder says "Your Windows 7 system has been successfully configured to use FFSHOW with BD Rebuilder." when that is not true. THAT is a fact. THAT is a bug.

The cause of it is irrelevant.

There was a time BD-Rebuilder didn't work on Windows 7. The solution then wasn't to use Windows XP. I consider that a workaround while BD-Rebuilder is fixed to work on Windows 7. Similar thing.

When software can be compromised by a buffer overflow, that is considered a bug. The solution isn't to not overflow the buffer, it's to stop the buffer overflow from occurring in the first place. Anyway, I won't be cross-posting anymore. This issue can stay in this thread.

As said, the tool I used is just a way to replicate the issue, but the issue could be caused by a number of things. Probably was something else that caused it for other people.

[jdobbs]

@MickJT

You have gotten your answer and now you're talking nonsense for which I have not time. Asking me to fix an issue caused by someone elses software is about as silly as it gets. If you can't understand that, then I have to assume you won't understand any further explanation either.

Hi, first of all thanks a lot for this great application.

With the version v0.37.06 i have problems to rebuild back to the future trilogy to a bd-25, the process is ok. but when play the movies only english audio is present without other audios. I'm from México and i want to keep the spanish audio.

I think is a type of bug. Any help?

@jdobbs

I have just done a disc which also has electronic copies on it. I wasn't thinking and copied everything to the HDD. When I did the disc to bd-9 the final size is pretty much undersized by the DCOPY directory size. The program didn't copy the DCOPY directory to the output folder but I wondered whether you had included it's size when you did the calculations.

Hi jdobbs,

Your program and work is much appreciated. Your support is better than any "commercial" program available.

Keep up the awesome work (and we are patiently waiting for the DTS Express feature)!!

Moviewatcher666

There's a PRO version? ;-)

[thegame]

"Pro" version of BD Rebuilder

Hi jdobbs, out of curiosity, will BD-RB get a Pro version at some point like DVD-RB? I have been wondering this for quit some time now actually, I LOVE this software and all the time and effort you put into it, Great Job!

[Capsbackup]

Thanks to all for the donations I've gotten over the last couple of days. I appreciate your support. (Well... everyone except the guy who asked for a refund because he didn't get a "Pro" version of BD Rebuilder when he donated).

Well I have been using the one and only "Pro" version!! ;)

Whats important is what BD-RB does, and it does it for everyone. :p :cool:

If and when you decide to release a "Pay" version, I will be in line early, ahead of all those loyal Apple iPad customers. :rolleyes: :)

[had-z]

how can I do this as it only shows on the movie Black Hawk Down the 480I commentary scenes. (on movie only back up option) When I select full back up I see everything on the main window.

BTW thanks for the great job on this proggy

Hi jdobbs, first of all many thanks for your awesome piece of software.

I quoted that post, because i'm having the same problem in the latest beta release 0.37.06, in both options "main-only backup, alternate movie-only output" and "full backup" the program only displays the extras.

jdobbs I've not tested BD-RB much, and not for quite a few revisions now, but used it today w/latest 37.06 to make a DVD (Alternate Output) from a tsMuxeR'ed BDMV set I'd made from an HD TV recording (whew!). The result was wildly improved over the DVD output of VideoReDo, which I'd used to edit the show originally. Not sure what you do vs. VRD but it looks wonderful (I'm quite sure it's interlaced), including that the BD-RB_DVD retains all chapter marks I'd made! Thanks!

Oh wait, this is a bug thread only. ;) Well, one odd thing is that the original TV broadcast, and thus the BDMV I'd pointed BD-RB at, had 384Kbps AC3 5.1 audio originally, and BD-RB converted it to 448Kbps. Not sure why it would bother to do so, but it seemed odd to me especially since the log had showed 640 in it:

No worries, good stuff, thanks again. Guess I'm gonna hafta get in line with my donation shortly! :) Yeah. It does that by default because most non-HD audio sources on BD are 640Kbs (which is illegal for DVD). 384Kbs is pretty unusual even for DVD...

[laserfan]

640Kbs ... is illegal for DVD
I didn't know that! Anyway I know I used BD-RB in an unusual way (a TV source vs. a BD source) but was way too impressed by the result to keep quiet about it! Amazing...
:thanks:

Oh btw my old problem with BD-RB going to Sleep during encoding (W7 x64) is gone. :)

The limit of 448Kbs for DD5.1 on DVD is related to frame size and how it is stored in DVD sectors.

[Megacubo]

I feel so stupid, i didn't change the audio and subtitles options. Thanks a lot for the help. And for the application again

[MickJT]

@jdobbs

Don't know why I didn't remember this before! I initially downloaded Win7DSFilterTweaker because BD-Rebuilder wasn't able to set the preferred filters. However I did install a TMPGEnc Authoring Works trial, but can't remember at what point, before or after BD-Rebuilder. So I will need to do another test.

When I have some free time, maybe even tonight, i'll install Win 7 64bit in VirtualBox, and try again. If it really does have an issue on a 100% clean system with absolutely nothing else installed but what is on the first page, then it'll be worth looking at. At least a VirtualBox setup is going to be the same between all systems, and replicable. I'll update you ASAP.

BTW, thanks for all the hard work. I don't use BD-Rebuilder that often, but it certainly comes in handy. Can't imagine how many hours of work has been put into it.

Edit: Well, I don't think my BIOS allows 64bit Virtualization. I'll install the 32bit edition and test with that.
Edit2: Fresh Win 7 32bit in VirtualBox. ffdshow, AviSynth, Haali. Let BD-RB set up prefs. No issues.
Edit3: Filter tweaker causes same issue here (checked only for curiousity). Will try to find out what it was I must have done prior to that.
Edit4: No luck. Oh well, will have to remain a mystery for now.

I could have bought a DVD of that program for $25 bucks, but it feels better to make a $20 PayPal donation to DVD-RB@jdobbs.net, which I just did (and saved myself $5 in the process).

Again, I know I used BD-RB in a way not intended, but am really grateful that it worked so well for this purpose. Thank you Mr. Dobbs.

Yes, I do realize that this is a "Bug" thread, though I believe it is an important matter to address & hope it encourages others as it did me.

--I've been using this amazing program since V.2202. One glance at the threads & its obvious how much time you put into this, consistantly. I donated once before, happily & thankfuly considering how much I use BDR. Though I didn't know, & now makes sense, was the fact that in your responses to "Bugs" your putting out money to purchase the BD's etc. I didn't realize that it wasn't just your time & efforts (which in itself is exhaustingly extensive).

--& for the person who wanted something "special" for his donation (the "Pro version"), well, brains are not a criteria for life it seems. For such an amazing program, which you continually put effort into making it the best, & for all the use I've got out of it (& money it's saved me) I'm pleased to donate when I can..
Thank you for all you have, & are, doing

I am trying to encode the Blu-ray for "Cars" for a BD-25 with utter failure each time no matter if I use the Automatic setting, "High Quality" or even "High-Speed Option". This is the message that I keep getting:

Error in attempt to multiplex: MUX_00060.meta
- Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec speciffed.
[14:37:01] - Failed to build structure, aborted

I figured that perhaps I had the wrong codecs installed, so I uninstalled and reinstalled FFDSHOW, Haali and AVISynth with the versions recommended on the first page of this post. Nonetheless, I still got the same error. I hope that someone could help me and explain what I'm doing wrong because this is the only Blu-ray disc that has posed any problems for me.

Thank you in advance for any help!

Thank you in advance for any help! It's very probably a bad rip. A PES packet that large means the source is almost assuredly corrupted. By the way -- I've done "Cars" with no issues.

[ken7795]

Damn. I used the latest version (actually 2 versions ago, at this point) of AnyDVD HD. Is there anything that I can do to salvage this? Or, should I cut my losses and either download the movie again?

Now I'm not so sure... I just noticed that the error was in the mulitplexing (not the demultiplexing)...

Can you post the log for this job?

[ken7795]

Thank you once again for all of your help!

[SpazzHH]

Download the movie again? Out of curiosity, what is your source?

[had-z]

Is that picture from a movie-only backup? If so, just select a different playlist...

I don't know why when i select movie only backup the program displays a error window with this: header: "illegal source" message: "selected source is not BD format" and when i select full backup, the program displays the stream list but without the main movie, only the extras. (the png atached in my other post,pending of aproval)

[ken7795]

I shouldn't have wrote "download again." I was typing fast and not actually thinking. My source was the original Blu-ray disc - I used AnyDVD HD to rip it. I meant that I should download the movie rather than attempting to rip it again. . . . it certainly helps to think before actually typing (a little self-deprecating humor to try to stomach the annoying process of figuring this damn thing out!)

I don't run one on my video machine either, but I have one on my "browsing and working" computer. I also turn off disc indexing, as that speeds thing up.

I was just browsing for info on the different encoding option and had a slap-my-forehead moment when I read this post. Thanks for the info regarding disc indexing.

[dfsooner]

BD_Rebuilder was changed recently to disable sleep mode while it was running. I believe it remains disabled even after the rebuild(s) is/are complete. Is it possible to re-enable it afterward?

[colinhunt]

0.37.06 appears to de-interlace European Blu-ray 1080i50 sources to 1080p25 if the "Use Decomb" box is ticked (if one is to believe MediaInfo). If we stick to standards, this should not happen as 1080p25 is not in the BD standard.

[thegame]

I just bought a BD from Germany that was suppose to be region free, well I get it and it won't play, it is 1080i @ 25fps, if I do a backup on this(full) can BD-RB change this to 1080p @ 23.976 fps?

Thanks

If we stick to standards, this should not happen as 1080p25 is not in the BD standard.While the decomb deinterlacing option will make the picture "progressive" in nature, it should still be flagged as interlaced for compatibility with BD standards via the "--fake-interlaced" encoding option of X264. I'll check it out and make sure it is working correctly.

[Edit] I just checked the code. "--fake-interlaced" is used for all deinterlaced encodes. So either X264 is incorrectly flagging it or your reporting software is incorrect. I would tend to believe the latter.

The only other possibility would be if your original was 1080p25 -- as BD-RB wouldn't change that.

Can you run it again and see if "--fake-interlaced' is used in the command line?

[thegame]

Not currently.

Thanks, but is it something for a future release, or not really?

I guess that is the chance you take when importing BD's LOL.

JDobbs, I posted the inf and log of a compression of "Amarcord" a few days ago where I ended up with an out of sync audio delay of almost 2 seconds. This was the only one affected using the most recent build of your program. All others compressed with that build don't have the problem.

Is there any way I can correct it?

Another "ReencodeAudio() 00075 1801" error, this time on Charles Ferguson's Inside Job. VID_00022 (1,00 MB) has one LPCM audio track which whacks the audio re-encoding module upside the head.

I checked, it's not. 1080p25 Blu-rays don't exist, AFAIK. Or did you mean 1080p25 fake-interlaced as 1080i50 on disc?

Can you run it again and see if "--fake-interlaced' is used in the command line?
Will do!

I'll burn the output to BD-RE to see how stand-alones react to it.

I'll burn the output to BD-RE to see how stand-alones react to it. Then the file is completely legal. I'm guessing Mediainfo is not looking at the proper flags that are set by "--fake-interlaced". The only other possiblity is if that option stopped working in X264 and that's an extremely low probability.

[A.Fenderson]

I'm trying to back up Fight Club to BD25, and I'm doing a little tweaking to the audio selections, which are being changed by merely collapsing/expanding other selections in the stream tab.

My relevant(?) audio options in setup are thus:
Audio Languages to keep: English (eng).
Limit to one track for each language: NOT checked.
Do not convert DTS to AC3 is CHECKED.
Do not reencode AC3 is CHECKED.
Use 448/192 Kbps are both NOT checked.
Keep HD audio for BD25 is CHECKED.

The only real change I ended up making was to the main movie m2ts, and I chose to drop the AC3 version of the standard (non-commentary) audio track completely, in that it's utterly superfluous, since the DTS HD MA track contains a DTS core, which all players are mandated to decode. I manually deselected this track, then continued on to expand and sometimes recollapse the audio and video track trees for each of the many m2ts files below, checking for additional superfluous tracks (I gave up, this BD is a mess). Once I scrolled back up to review, my manual deselection had been overriden and the primary ac3 track was again set to be included in the rebuild.

To test, I manually deselected it again, scrolled to the very last m2ts, collapsed and reexpanded everything therein, and scrolled back up, and the track had been selected for inclusion again.

I didn't enter into the setup menu at all during the above process (as I know this can change selections/deselections) but after all this, I did close BD-RB and reopen it, then attempt to reproduce the problem, and now it isn't happening, so it's not consistent.

EDIT:

OK, I just figured it out, after typing up that huge mess.
Any time you have a stream highlighted, if you double-click in the white-space of the stream tab, most anywhere (but not quite everywhere) that doesn't trigger any other UI component, it will toggle selection for the highlighted stream, even if you've scrolled well beyond it and can't see it. This behavior is consistent, but some whitespaces trigger it while others don't.

[jdobbs]

@A.Fenderson

One thing to watch is streams that are linked as parts of an overall playlist (marked with asterisks). If you deselect or select audio on any of the linked streams it will change it for all of them.

[Sharc]

Then the file is completely legal. I'm guessing Mediainfo is not looking at the proper flags that are set by "--fake-interlaced". ....
That would be new. In all my --fake-interlaced encodes MediaInfo did report it accordingly.

[jdobbs]

That would be new. In all my --fake-interlaced encodes MediaInfo did report it accordingly.Well, you're showing me the command line... so obviously it isn't doing so now.

[dfsooner]

BD_Rebuilder was changed recently to disable sleep mode while it was running. I believe it remains disabled even after the rebuild(s) is/are complete. Is it possible to re-enable it afterward?

Any response?

[jdobbs]

Any response? It is supposed to already be reenabled afterward. I'll look at the code to be sure it is doing so.

Also please review the first post of this thread which says:If you decide to download and test -- please post any errors you find in this thread. Don't push bug resolution or keep asking for a fix. I will get to the reported bugs, but only when I can find the time.

[Edit] I just checked, and it is doing the settings appropriately. Sleep is enabled -- but because of the way the microsoft interface works, the clock starts over at the point the encode is complete. So, for example, if you have the sleep timer set for 1 hour -- the system will go to sleep one hour after the encode is completed.

[colinhunt]

Well, you're showing me the command line... so obviously it isn't doing so now.
Sharc's not me :)

Anyhoo, with "Use Decomb" box unticked, the UK 1080i50 source came out as 1080/25 MBAFF, says Mediainfo.

[Edit] Burned the fake-interlaced version on disc. It seems to be playing fine on stand-alones. Which is nice.

[colinhunt]

This is quite baffling. The file has not disappeared, it's not corrupt and all file/folder access privileges appear to be OK. Hmm.

Sorry to have caused confusion by interfering.
I just double checked a former --fake-interlaced encode with latest MediaInfo. It reports it correctly as "interlaced=fake"....

Yep, but this m2ts was the only thing in its playlist. I quickly edited my post instead of replying to myself, and might have caused you to miss where I mentioned I think I found what's causing it: any time a stream is highlighted, and you double-click certain parts of the white-space of the stream tab (most any part that won't trigger any UI components), it toggles the highlighted selection on/off, even if it's off-screen due to scrolling.

This disc is from the Criterion Collection and there appears to be nothing out of the usual. In fact I just compressed the full disc of "Black Orpheus" which is on the Criterion label as well.

I have another problem/question which is unrelated. I generally don't have a desire to compress audio but whenever I have tried, I get this error - ERROR in attempt to reencode audio (AFTEN) [AUD_00237__4352.AVS]
[16:32:23] - Failed to reencode audio, aborted.

FWIW, in this case the only box checked in the Audio encoding options would be (use 448kbs for AC3 encoding) Though I realize I don't have much of a clue how those settings work. My hope was to down sample a LPCM mono 1152kbps audio track to save some space and leave other 192 kbps tracks unchanged, if that is possible.

I sent above message as I was getting this, since that being sent and your reply,I removed the programs and reinstalled them a couple of times without success,after the last install I went to Watch the England match on TV after it was over I returned to the program to find it works perfectly,I can only assume that in the downloads somewhere a corruption occured. Thanks for your very fast reply to a 70 year old in trouble, its good to know the elderly can still get fast assistance. GREAT PROGRAM AND LONG MAY YOU CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried to view it through windows media classic and it doesn't show anything, just black screen and no sound. It's only 12 frames. Maybe it didn't rip correctly?

Then it shouldn't even be reencoding when your output is to BD-25. I'd have to guess that you have reset MIN_M2TS_SIZE to "0". If so I'd recommend you set it to something more reasonable. I guess it's possible that it could be a part of a larger playlist?

I changed it to keep HD Audio for BD-25 and it got past that point.

When I tried to convert a 1080p movie to 720p it distorts the picture, ie., stretches the movie vertically to fill the screen. It doesn't look good. Just thought you'd want to know. Otherwise this is an excellent program. thanks

What if the source were 1440x1080 anamorphic 16:9?

[Ch3vr0n]

if its 1440x1080 then it aint 1080p or full hd. Full hd requires 1920x1080.

[A.Fenderson]

1440x1080p24 and 1440x1080p23.976 are both allowed by the BD specs. I'm not going to argue whether they're "full HD" as that's mere marketing gibberish, but they are allowed, and titles that use them are bound to exist.

[Sharc]

What if the source were 1440x1080 anamorphic 16:9?
Then --sar 4:3 should probably be added to the x264 command line in order to stretch it correctly during playback.
I am not sure if 960x720 is blu-ray compliant.

Edit: If however 1440x1080 anamorphic 16:9 gets resized to 1280x720 then --sar 1:1 is perfect and everything is blu-ray compliant

[jdobbs]

What if the source were 1440x1080 anamorphic 16:9?

I've heard people say that before. But I think it's a misconception. 1440x1080 is not allowable in 16:9 (at least the way I read the spec). It seems to be meant only for 4:3. The BD Spec (under primary video plane parameters, table 8-4, note 2) says:The 1440 samples shall be converted to its 1920 samples by using the 4/3 interpolation filter, and the 1920 samples are presented on the Video plane.

It also says under the description of 1920x1080 format (there isn't a section defining 1440x1080 because it is a subset of 1920x1080):The 1440 samples are derived from the 3/4 decimation filtering the 1920 samples.The shall means that there are no exceptions. And of course this means that the 1440x1080 source would also be a 1:1 aspect display ratio. If you are using a 1440 source that has been flagged as 16:9, you might indeed get a "stretched" picture -- but the fault would be in the illegal source, not BD Rebuilder.

1440x1080p24 and 1440x1080p23.976 are both allowed by the BD specs. I'm not going to argue whether they're "full HD" as that's mere marketing gibberish, but they are allowed, and titles that use them are bound to exist. But not at 16:9 from what I can see.

[A.Fenderson]

I don't have access to authoritative sources, and I don't wish to argue, but the quote you used and cited as being the BD spec pretty much means exactly the opposite to me what it does to you: it says the 1440 samples are converted to 1920 via 4:3 interpolation--if the pixels were 1:1, there would be no interpolation, simply the addition of pillarboxing on the sides to maintain the 4:3 Picture aspect ratio of the original.

[jdobbs]

But it's anything but clear to me and I don't read it that way. There are no notes that mention 16/9 interpolation anywhare -- only 4/3. Also, after doing a huge number of discs in testing, the only commercial sources I've ever found that was 1440 were 4:3.

[Sharc]

Not that it means or proves anything, but a 1920 x 1080p 16:9 source resized to 1440 x 1080p ("anamorphic") and encoded with --sar 4:3 plays undistorted on my SONY standalone.

It does on mine too... but I can also run about 20 other illegal formats as well (like 720x480p, 1280x720@29.97, etc.).

[A.Fenderson]

Uh-oh: I was also very much under the impression that 1280x720p23.976 was valid as a primary stream, and that 720x480p was valid as a secondary (only) video stream. This is one reason why. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533)

(http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533) Yeah it is... I meant to say 720x480p@29.97 (I corrected it).

720x480p@23.976 is valid only as a secondary stream (so it can match the HD primary's framerate) -- not as a primary stream.

I can only go by what I read in the spec -- and unfortunately it seems unclear to me. I guess it could be that since the 1440x1080 source always has a SAR of 4:3, that when it is interpolated it is "corrected" to the 1920x1080 display's 16:9 format. But even according to the link you used, the DAR is always 16:9. Then I have to ask why there is no 16/9 interpolation note anywhere?

I'd like to argue the point one way or the other -- but I've just reviewed it and right now I can't seem to make heads-or-tails of it, and I've always assumed that 1440x1080 implied 4:3. Maybe it'll make more sense to me if I look again tomorrow.

On the other hand this is all an academic exercise as far as BD-RB is concerned anyway -- BD Rebuilder doesn't change the resolution or the aspect ratio (unless you have the conversions implicitly selected in SETUP), so what goes in should come out, regardless of whether it is "legal". I'll go back and check to be sure for 1440, though.

@wolverine3n8

1. What resolution is your source?

2. Is the source an original commercial blu-ray disc (that hasn't been preprocessed)?

Question is perhaps how does BD-RB resize a 1440x1080 source if 'resize to 720' is selected in the SETUP: if it resizes to 1280x720 and sets explicitely --sar 1:1 I would assume that the encode will play correctly. If it does not explicitely set the --sar but leaves it untouched (4:3) the playback will probably be anamorphic distorted. Hmm... it makes sense that if the SAR is 4:3 and DAR is 16:9 that a 1440 horizontal size would be displayed as 1920 (1.333 * 1440). That would dispel my belief that it's supposed to always be 4:3. But then what happens with a 4:3 source? I need to go back and find my some of my HD 4:3 sources.

I'm going to run a couple of tests and see what happens if I encode a 4:3 source with SAR at 4:3 (which it has to be) to 1440x1080 and set the 4:3 flag.

You ever have days when your thought processes just don't seem to work right? Maybe it's the cast on my leg...

I'll also look at the code and see what SAR I use when reencoding a 1440 source to 720. But more than likely the issue is the AVISYNTH resizing filter -- I may not be taking the 1440's 4:3 SAR into consideration.

[Edit] On second thought. The resize filter shouldn't have to do anything special if the DAR was 16:9. A simple resize to 1280x720 should work. Ugghh

[Sharc]

....But then what happens with a 4:3 source?....
Yep, that's why I deleted the second part of my original post while you already replied.....

[shon3i]

@jdobbs, you something misunderstand while reading specs 1440x1080 can only be 16:9 and not 4:3. Square pixels for 1440x1080 are illegal completely. 1440x1080 uses extended SAR information, this means you need to use --sar 4:3 to meet specs. Btw i checked with verifier and it's compatible. 1440x1080 is here because anamorphic encoding from HD cams.

Btw if you need 4:3, you need to leterbox source (left/right)

from spec:

In case of 1440x1080 with aspect_ratio_idc set to 255(Extended_SAR), aspect ratio shall be indicated
by sar_width and sar_height. sar_width shall be set to 4 and sar_height shall be set to 3, respectively

[Sharc]

[Edit] On second thought. The resize filter shouldn't have to do anything special if the DAR was 16:9. A simple resize to 1280x720 should work. Ugghh
Yes, the only legal way to resize a 1440x1080 source (at this resolution legal SAR is 4:3 only, legal DAR is 16:9 only) to 720 is 1280x720 with --sar 1:1.

How do you play it? Software or standalone player? Do you perhaps use some odd settings with your player, forcing a wrong aspect ratio during playback?

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.37.07). Changes for this version:- Corrected an error in which framerate could be
set incorrectly when outputting to DVD and one
of the resizing options is selected.
- Changed default audio selection behavior so that
a track will be kept (even when the language is
not one that is selected) when it is the only
audio track available. This behavior can be set
to be disabled using the new "KEEP_SINGLE_AUDIO"
hidden option (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT).
- Corrected a bug in which AVC sources may not be
recognized as pulldown when appropriate when the
480p video type is set and can result in syncing
issues. Especially useful on sources previously
run thorugh BD-RB, TSMUXER,or multiAVCHD.
- Corrected an error in which DEINTERLACER_TYPE
(hidden option) was not being read properly.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1924).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1924).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I was playing it on the computer with VLC 1.1.7. I didn't change any settings, just double clicked the movie. I wish I hadn't deleted it or I would post a screen shot. The only thing I changed was in BD RB settings, I checked the box to resize 1080 to 720, everything else was default.

Open the movie in VLC, right click on the picture=>Video=>Aspect Ratio=>Default (or whatever you need).

@jdobbs:

I just finished doing Red Dragon (region A) to BD25.

The source is AVC and I'm using internal LAVF x264-64 decoding. While examining the encoded file I came across something I haven't before-

The main movie starts with 22 frames of gray frame (The entire movie was shifted 22 frames forward due to this).

Can you think of any reason why that would happen?

It sure sounds like a playback CODEC issue. Can you try it again without LAVF selected? I'd like to try and determine whether it is the frame-serving method or the source itself that is causing the problem.

Will do. What I can say for now is that I tried opening VID_00009.AVS (which is the video frameserve file that BD-RB created but did /not/ use because I chose LAVF) with virtualdub, and it seemed fine - no gray frames.

EDIT: Also, I indexed the output m2ts with DGIndexNV just to make sure that the gray frames are actually coded on the file and it's not a decoder issue- and it is indeed encoded like that on the file.
(I also indexed the source m2ts - and no gray frames there)

reinstalled HAALI Splitter and thats now saying ok but still failing!

When I said "decoder" or "playback CODEC" I meant LAVF... it is the decoder used for frame-serving when it is selected. So to me your report pretty much confirms that it is a decoder issue.

I know what you meant :)

My purpose for writing this addition is exactly to tell you that the problem seems to be with the LAVF decoder rather than anything else.

I made sure that the source file isn't the problem and that the output file is indeed flawed, so that basically leaves us with your conclusion that it's a decoder issue. I'll encode again tonight without LAVF using ffdshow and directshowsource() although I'm sure it'll come out perfect.

Interesting, wouldn't you say?

[jdobbs]

Cant seem to get it working can anyone see from the log why this could be?

Uninstall everything. Reboot. Reinstall everything from the first post of this thread.

I know what you meant :)

My purpose for writing this addition is exactly to tell you that the problem seems to be with the LAVF decoder rather than anything else.

I made sure that the source file isn't the problem and that the output file is indeed flawed, so that basically leaves us with your conclusion that it's a decoder issue. I'll encode again tonight without LAVF using ffdshow and directshowsource() although I'm sure it'll come out perfect.

Interesting, wouldn't you say?Yes. I have long hoped that the LAVF decoder would eventually eliminate all the headaches with people installing the wrong versions of AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW. But... LAVF seems to have at least as many issues.

Yes. I have long hoped that the LAVF decoder would eventually eliminate all the headaches with people installing the wrong versions of AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW. But... LAVF seems to have at least as many issues.

This is actually the first issue I've come across, but I imagine your milage is more significant.

I wish DGDecode was free so you could use that in a similar matter to DVD-Rebuilder.

But here's a thought - how difficult would it be writing an avisynth filter that specifically interfaces with instances of ffdshow and haali splitter? Might be worth pursuing if you can bundle the "correct" versions and then use an avisynth that loadplugins the splitter and decoder.

I don't know how feasible that is, but better say it and sound stupid then keep it to myself :)

[Westie69]

AVISYNTH 2.58 was the culprit thanks jdobbs

[Capsbackup]

AVISYNTH 2.58 was the culprit thanks jdobbs

Avisynth 2.58 works fine, it was your ffdshow VC-1 setting and haali causing the problem! ;)

[Capsbackup]

Yes. I have long hoped that the LAVF decoder would eventually eliminate all the headaches with people installing the wrong versions of AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW. But... LAVF seems to have at least as many issues.

I have done countless number of successful backups and still have never tried / used LAVF! Another reason I am staying with my past / current setup. :p
Content with my speedy method the way it is, with no desire to go faster with LAVF...:rolleyes: :cool:

[KillingTime]

No audio on "District 13" movie only re-author.

Selecting the movie only option for District 13.

Output to 720P BD5 AVCHD Strict, 2 channel. Video plays fine, but no audio.

I've opened the (DVDFab) ripped source in PowerDVD 10, audio listed as DD5.1 640Kbps, VC1 video. Plays fine.

Opened the BDRebuilder output in the same player, video is fine but no audio, even though it thinks there is an audio track present (show info option).

So, I thought it might be my computer, so I ran RockNRolla through BDRebuilder which has the same source format (DD5.1 640K, VC1) with the same settings (720P BD5, 2CH audio output). The end result (audio and video) plays fine after BDRebuilder has done it's thing using PowerDVD 10 again.

I also tried runnning other titles through rebuilder which use TruHD as the audio source, again, no problems.

Just seems to be District13 that has problems.

Audio copy protection ???

I've added this to the bug section as while it would appear DD5.1 640K titles are being converted correctly, there is something about the audio on this title that is preventing it from bing converted at all. Not sure where to start looking either.

I've also tried DD5.1 output, same result (no audio) - but only for this title. Tried the english track, the french track, one pass, two pass...

OK.

After some more encodes, I think I know what's causing the problem.

The main movie playlist for this title includes an intro video clip that's got something to do with the distributor. The clip is less than 10 seconds long and it's encoded in VC1, but the audio is DD2.0 192K.

The audio for this short clip was being encoded OK, but it's the movie that follows which does not encode correctly.

So, I went to the HDD source, and renamed the intro mt2s clip (so it wouldn't be found). After loading up the same main movie playlist, the intro clip is now not shown, leaving the main movie only.

Everything encodes correctly.

The problem seems to have something to do with video streams in the playback sequence that use differing audio encodes.

@jdobbs

The explanation offered by "Killing Time" makes it seem that the problem with "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" (and sequels) is still rearing its ugly head...

The problem seems to have something to do with video streams in the playback sequence that use differing audio encodes. I'll go back and review the spec -- but I'm almost positive that's illegal. The MPLS spells out the stream types and it should carry through all CLPI/M2TS sets.

I found a bug with 1080i sources (VC-1), specifically with The Dark Knight, the movie encode looks superb (like always), the problem is the extra video that comes in the bdmv structure (1080i).

I don't how to explain with words the issue, but is similar to screen tearing in videogames (vsync off), i do two backups, the first using the deinterlacer option and the second without it, both backups shows the problem.

Inspect Shows everything OK.

Yes, thanks in advance.

Do you have Black hawk down? BD-RB only shows the extras in the structure...

I mentioned that about 2 weeks ago, i tried mounting the iso, directly from disc, searching the bdmv folder... and bd-rb refuses to recognize the movie in the structure.

[jdobbs]

Yes, thanks in advance.

[sonate]

JDobbs, I was bothering you earlier with an audio sync delay with this title.

However , trying another full disc compression with exactly the same parameters, using the newer version of bd rb, it turned out perfectly. Not sure anything in the changelog you posted would have affected this, but I thought I would just let you know.

OT, I would like to send a donation but I want to be sure to use the same email address I used when I sent one to you for DVD rb.
Can you see if you have me as a VIP under ...removed by jdobbs... ?

[jetli]

hi, love your program, but occasionally have a problem
like i do now with size ending just a tiny bit too big.
my result now is (25,041,084,560 bytes)
just about 16megs too big.
i did a 2 pass, good quality reencode.
if i go back to change the size to 20megs smaller in size,
it requires me to start from scratch, when i still have the
demuxed files in the workfile directory and i still have
the results from the 1st pass of encoding.

questions
1) is there some way i dont know of to get 16megs
out of this so i dont have to reencoding at all???
2) is there a way to restart from the 2pass of reencoding
instead of starting all over again, and tell it to be 20megs
smaller???

thanks jet

thanks jet What size setting were you using? Was it BD-25 or were you using a custom size? I've never seen BD-25 oversize.

[jetli]

yes i was using a custom size so to keep the compression to a minimum.
but that's not really the issue.
the real issue is that the results vary significantly from disk to disk so how are we suppose to maximize the bits
while still trying to fit in a fixed amount of space. i have found that 2 passes does well and is pretty accurate
but sometimes like this time it just goes way over.

anyway questions still posed ...

jetI disagree -- it is the issue. There are many variables and the output size cannot be predicted exactly. The solution is to lower your target size so there is enough leeway that it will always fit. The bits you are saving are imperceptable -- and the aggravation of having to redo a disc greatly outweighs the placebo effect you are getting by trying to squeeze out a few extra Kbs...

If you are targeting 25GB and you are 16MB over... you are accurate to within 0.00064. Expecting to get closer than that just isn't realistic.

[jetli]

so given the above ...

You probably won't be able to do an additional pass with the existing video because by default the mbtree and stats files are removed after encoding is completed.

[jetli]

thanks for the input, but in this case i have dts 15k audio and i dont have tools to re-encode dts/compress the audio.
is the something i could edit that will tell the second pass to compress it more than it is going to already. just 20megs
or so.
jet

[AnonCrow]

1) is there some way i dont know of to get 16megs out of this so i dont have to reencoding at all???


Would it be feasible for you to only re-encode some GOPs with a lower bitrate,
possibly use certain select slower settings , and then do some cutting&joining ?

[jetli]

GOPs ???
this is a bluray movie only, x264 video, dtshd reduced to 1536k core, 1 sub
there must be some file that the second level of reencode uses to set overall level of compression.
couldnt that be modified a bit to get 16megs?
if i could skip the 1st pass it would save me 6hrs, the 2nd pass takes 18hrs.
i think you see what im driving at. why should i have to do 2 passes a second time???
jet

[jetli]

what could i do with stats and stats.mbtree??? what are they???

[jdobbs]

what could i do with stats and stats.mbtree??? what are they???They are needed to anything except the first pass.

Please move this discussion to a thread of its own. This thread is reserved for bug reports, and this isn't a bug.

New Bug or User Error?

Hello jdobbs, I just switched to new version v0.37.07 and I am having an issue. I have about 50GB of space left on my computer and I am trying to shrink/re-build a 37GB Blu ray (Note: I still have 50GB left even with this 37GB disc on my computer) to fit on a single layer BD-R. When I start the process BD-Rebuilder tells me that the target size is 22.95GB. I also have the option of removing WORKING files after rebuilding process checked so it removes those temp files. Now I never had this issue with earlier versions (v0.37.06 etc...) but as soon as I switched to v0.37.07......everytime I try to shrink a blu ray to fit on a single layer BD-R.....BD-Rebuilder just stops around 70-90% and when I check my disk space it says I only have like couple of KB left. I am just wondering how is BD-Rebuilder using up all 50GB of space for a disc that is only 37GB. I have tried couple of disks and same problem every time.


Please advice. I do have a workaround---->use external storage but I am just curious becasue I never had this issue with older version and I have worked with Blu Rays that were around 42-44GB. Even back then I only had about 50GB space left on my computer.

Even back then I only had about 50GB space left on my computer. v0.37.07 requires and uses the exact same space as previous versions. Unfortunately you just don't have enough free disc space for it to do what it needs to do. BD Rebuilder has to extract the audio/video from the original -- which doubles the space needed, it then needs to reencode and rebuild that video, which requires a lot of space depending upon how big individual M2TS files are. Add to that the 25GB needed for the output and you're simply out...

If you have LAVF enabled, you can save a little space by disabling it. But the bottom line is that 50GB free isn't enough space when you're dealing with blu-ray sources.

[omegaman7]

Which is exactly why I employ multiple Hard drives :p I can't wait for an output path(to a separate drive). That'll speed up the Rebuild process ;)

Love your software man! I only use 3 cores of my Phenom 965 @ 3.9Ghz, and I'd swear it's equal to my 3.5Ghz 940 fully used. Allows me to have free cycles for other tasks ;) I imagine when I get 1090t, i'll only allow 5 threads most of the time. I'm currently using 0.37.07 to encode Close Encounters Of The Third kind. Excellent movie!

I'll be doing Tron Legacy tonight :D

Hi!

Have you played your original, commercial Blu-ray disc on the same system, to see if it exhibits the same behavior?

[jdobbs]

@had-z

Hi!

Have you played your original, commercial Blu-ray disc on the same system, to see if it exhibits the same behavior? I'm thinking the same thing. It could be the original or a CODEC issue during frame-serving. It just seems unlikey that tearing like that would occur as a part of the encoding.

[had-z]

I'm thinking the same thing. It could be the original or a CODEC issue during frame-serving. It just seems unlikey that tearing like that would occur as a part of the encoding.

Yes, i played the original disc on the PS3 without problems.

Tomorrow i will do a backup with the LAVF option activated...

Hello jdobbs,
First of all, apologizing because this text this once a translator was made with.

Second
My opinion is that this program is fantastic.

Third party
One of the problems that I have, is next:
When bluray encode a complete bluray to dvd9, my player of living room sony s470, some movies you recognize them to me and other ones you do not recognize my record, having me that to appropriate an authorship for oneself, in order that at least you have a menu. Is there solution ad hoc? For example XXX this ok, Mortal kombat NOT ok

Room
The option of taking extras away, or to leave them with a black screen, I believe that not yet it is possible This is that way, or am I wrong?

Fifth
No himself if these questions in previous posts will be responded, but my knowledge in English is minimal, and I create a mess


Thanks from the start and for your job

GreetingsIt is likely that the ones with issues are those that use JAVA for menus. Some players (like the Sony S360) will play a BD-9 full backup with any type of menuing. Others (like yours) will only play it if no JAVA is present. There are also some that will not play full backups to BD-9 at all.

If your player supports AVCHD, it is pretty much always safe to do BD-5 and BD-9 movie-only backups. It is also always safe to do BD-25 full backups for all players.

[bcovington]

Probably not a bug. I'm sure I did something wrong, just not sure what.
I attempted to rebuild Star Trek to BD5 just to see how it would look at the reduced size.
I have installed all the necessary programs to use BD RB, however, ffdshow was not the most up to date. I had rev 2033. And it may not have been configured correctly.
I ended up with a workfiles folder size of 5.3gb. But the BDMV folder was only 1.53gb. I had no errors. It appeared to complete correctly. The movie played great - good resolution, sound etc. But it was only the first 10-15 minutes of the movie. That is all that was rebuilt.

Is using ffdshow rev3326 going to solve this problem? or could it be something else.

Thank you.

Hi! I have installed all the necessary programs to use BD RB, however, ffdshow was not the most up to date. I had rev 2033. And it may not have been configured correctly.

You should use ONLY the versions of programs that are included in Post #1 of this thread!

[jdobbs]

@bcovington

Uninstall BD-RB and all utilities. Then reinstall using only those from the first post of this thread. There are numerous reasons those specific versions are used.

Run INSPECT.EXE (in the BD Rebuilder installation folder) and it should tell you inconsistencies.

Hi again, i do the backup of The Dark Knight again with LAVF decoder and is showing the same issue...

I shall try changing the decoder of VC-1 to WM11 (disabled) on Windows 7?

ffdshow was the only one "out of compliance" - I uninstalled the bad and installed the good. Ran inspect.exe and it all checked out OK. I am at 92% on my second attempt on the movie. I'll let you know if it does not work.

Thanks. If you still have an issue -- please reinstall all as I suggested. There are some things that INSPECT can't catch, especially when other software intercepts things. A reinstall can sometimes correct that.

I shall try changing the decoder of VC-1 to WM11 (disabled) on Windows 7? I have to believe it is the source then - or a system issue. There's no way that two different frame-servers could result in that same problem happening in the same place.

I have "Dark Knight" and I'll do a test run and see if I can find that same scene.

Attempt 2 failed, but not as badly as attempt 1. This time, I got 1hr 44 minutes of the movie in excellent quality. Video ends but audio continues. Workfiles folder is 7.5gb. The output folder (bdmv stream) is only 3.7gb. The 0000.m2ts video in workfiles is 2.93gb and contains the 1:44 of video.

I will uninstall all and try #3. Thanks. If you are overclocked... slow your system down a bit. If it didn't finish the encode it means that X264 must have failed somehow. When that happens it is almost always an indicator of system problems (often overclocking).

Hi I have a big problem with bdrebuilder
When i can resume the job, says THE WORKING PATH IS NOT EMPTY, DELETE ALL OLD FILES
Can you help me PLEASE !!

Can you help me PLEASE !!That means that you have changed one or more settings between the time you stopped and restarted. BD Rebuilder would need to start over to support the new setting(s).

Not overclocked. No tweaks to my system whatsoever.
Attemp #3 failed. Output was only 1.9gb.... 44 minutes of video. I don't know what data I could post to assist you. Here is what I see.

Perhaps you could try opening VID_00000.avs, which is found in the Workfiles folder, with MPC or VirtualDub. See if it will display the full time code and if it will advance thru the entire movie.
You could also try opening VID_00000.m2ts with MPC or WMP and see what it reports for total time and if it plays throughout.
What did you use to rip the disc with?

@bcovington

Unfortunately though, this problem isn't happening to anyone else -- and your system is the only thing unique to the issue. I really don't think it is a bug in BD-RB.

Here is the output size used for the encode:

SOURCE_VIDEO_SIZE=39570505728

Here's the bitrate:

RATE=3721

It appears to be failing before the encode is complete -- that is almost assuredly the result of system problems.

When i try to backup Harry Potter 5, i keep getting this error

"Target size too small to continue", i've tried it with versions dating back to 37.04. Each and everyone gives that error. When i try to backup HP6, v37.07 has no problems. The weird thing is, BDRB is set to do a full disc backup to BD25. So it should work.

Bug ?

Thanks. The vid_00000.avs is a tiny file. The vid_00000.avs.264 is 3.3gb - but it won't play in mpc or vdub or vmc, etc. There is no vid_0000.m2ts, but there is a 0000.m2ts and it is the truncated size of 1.17gb, 44 mins of video.

Thanks for trying to help. It appears to be some kind of system problem. Since, everything works correctly but it just can't finish the file completely.

Thanks for trying. I don't doubt your answer. But that leaves me little that I can do. My system is Vista Ultimate, 32bit, Intel Core 2 Duo, E8400@3GHz, 2Gig of Ram.

Strangely, the movie output from attempt #2 that resulted in 1:44 mins of the movie took less time to process (9hrs) than the 2 attempts that resulted in much smaller file sizes (12+hrs).

I am running BD RD in high priority mode and leaving the computer mostly undisturbed during the process.

My source file is the original bluray movie ripped to iso using anydvd hd. So, I mount the iso and select that virtual drive as the source.

Can you point me to an earlier BD RB set up? I will gladly try to make it work with a previous configuration.
Thanks.

Sorry, I meant 00000.m2ts. :) If it is only 44 minutes, then there must be other .m2ts files within the playlist (mpls) for the movie.
When you select the playlist thru mode, other movie-only playlist, what does it say the playlist / playlength options are?
When you select the one you want, and before you select Backup, what other VID_xxxx numbers are listed to be encoded?

EDIT:
Though I don't think it is related, you might try using AnyDVD to "Rip Video DVD to Harddisk" option. This always works for me!

If you right click on the VID_00000.avs and select "open with" and direct it to mpc.exe, it will play. The reason I mention this is it is this VID_00000.avs that is being frame served to x264, so it should have the entire correct video length there, and that is what will be reencoded.

Well, the playlist only contains Playlist 00000- playlength 2:06:50 [16 capters]. No other files. I am using an anydvd "ripped to disk" iso as my source. The VID_0000.avs file is only 174bytes but it does play (black screen, no video, no sound) in MPC indicating the correct length of 02:06:50. It seems that BDRB does everything correctly, but somehow gets an instruction that the video is finished too soon. I've done it 3 times and gotten 3 different file lengths/sizes, 20 minutes, 1:45 and 44 minutes. So there is no discernable trigger. The audio is complete.

Rip to harddisk is different than to ISO. You will not need to mount the files, so perhaps Vista will be more "forgiving" to process it this way. :rolleyes:
If you try to play the original 00000.m2ts with MPC, does it play?
The VID_00000.avs will not have sound when played with MPC, but should have the original video. If it does not and has only a black screen, you have another issue.
Since it will not hurt, I would uninstall haali, delete the program folder for haali, uninstall ffdshow and avisynth. Reboot. Then install the ones available from page one of this thread. ( even if you did this before, do it again and make sure you delete the program folder for haali!)

OK, I'll get the files out of the iso. I'll uninstall/reinstall per your instructions. The .m2ts file plays fine, audio and video - it is just too short. The .avs is just black screen in MPC.
I opened it in notepad and it is pointing to the correct file in the bdmv/stream folder on my virtual drive.
I'll try it all again with the bd files on the hard drive. Who knows, maybe the 4th try will work.
Thanks.

[bcovington]

By the way, what is the other "issue" related to the black screen? Is there something I can do about that in ffdshow settings, AviSynth, yv12, etc?
Thanks.

I am not sure why, but you should be able to see video when playing this .avs file with MPC. If not, then I believe a DirectshowSource problem exists.
Since this does not appear to be a BD-RB bug, it should be moved or you can start a new thread for further discussion. :)

Sounds about right. You might be able to shave some time, Depending on the scenario though.

Settings, Encoder settings, Good (very fast). You can't be under automatic settings of course ;) And of course your 4000+ is limited. 3 Cores or more is preferred.

Attempt #4 failed with an error. I had not gotten errors on previous attempts. This time, I had the bdmv files on the hard drive instead of inside and iso in a virtual drive. If you see an obvious error, let me know. Otherwise I guess I am just going to give up. Thanks.

@bcovington

You really don't need to post everytime you try to encode and clutter up the thread -- logic tells us that it is going to keep on failing until you find the cause. As I said before, the problem happens only on your system. I'm personally convinced it is an issue with either your source or (more likely) your system. You may want to think about reseating your memory and/or checking the temperature of your processor.

Since right now I don't think it is an issue with BD Rebuilder itself, I'd suggest you move this discussion to a new thread.

@Ch3vr0n

I'll pick up "Order of the Phoenix" and run it. I thought I'd run that one before but I can't seem to find it now. That message means that after adding up all the content (audio/video) that must remain intact, there isn't any room left.

[Ch3vr0n]

I think i've found the problem. All streams are identified as english. See image 1. however on the box cover the audio streams are PCM: English 5.1, Dolby digital: English, Netherlands, Flemish, french, german, spanish, italian, danish swedish and japanese 5.1. See image 2. Image 2 also shows "audio 13" wich is the flemish stream, but PDVD can't identify it properly. Thats probably a PDVD issue and not BDRB. But bdrb thinks they're all english. Which is probably why it thinks theirs no room left. If i manually deselect the unwanted streams (being all of them except the 2 english streams and audio 13). BDRB still can't run. The disc is R2 belgian: with barcode 7321906156947

I think what Jdobbs means by "Cluttering up" is anything that is NOT a probable bug. Since he believes you have a system issue, E.g. Ram errors, Cpu overclock errors, etc. He requests you take it to a new thread for resolving. It's not personal, just logical ;)

But my system accurately completes everything else I ask it to do. As anyone here at DOOM9 can tell you, video encoding (especially X264) is very demanding and it will find issues on your system that would be hidden to other apps... it's the ultimate stability tester.

Good luck.

Hi jdobbs,

Is this a bug, a setting I have not correctly set or code that is not implemented yet for this situation?

Background:
Machete – region B, Movie only, 1080p to 720p downsize, target size BD-5

This movie has a lot of forced subs especially in the first 5 mins of the movie for the Mexican spoken. In the above project the forced subs are not displayed until I manually press the subs button on the players remote. But when the forced subs have finished the subs still stay displayed i.e. now over the English that is spoken until I turn the subs off again via the players remote.

If I run again the project but do NOT downsize:
Machete – region B, Movie only, 1080p, target size BD-9

With this project the forced subs are correctly auto displayed and cleared when finish i.e. no user intervention is needed via the player remote.

To complete this project at 720p / BD-5 with forced subs auto enabled I used Ripbot264 as this has an option to select the forced subs as well as the standard subs for a downsized 720p movie.

Many thanks in advance for your help

Many thanks in advance for your help The SUP file has a flag within it (I'm not sure which flag it is) that "forces" it. When TSMUXER resizes the sub to 720, somehow that flag isn't transferred.

I wish knew where that flag was stored -- and I'd set it. Documentation on BD SUP files is scarce. I have a couple things I've dug up (showing how the object/segment formats) but I don't see the flag forces the subs on. I know its there, though -- because it continues to work if you don't resize.

You can turn subs ON by default in BD Rebuilder by right clicking on the subtitle and clicking "Default On", but as you noted, that doesn't help in your situation. In other movies, however, the "forced" subs are in a separate stream and can be left on.

I'll do some research today and see what I can find.

[Edit] Hmmm... well that didn't take long. I found it in the docs I have. I'll try to have it fixed for the next release. I'll probably have to resize the subs myself, though -- as TSMUXER's output for 720p would have it missing already.

Uninstall everything and reinstall using only the versions linked in the first post of this thread. Also, look through your system and see if you can find other programs that are interfering with the CODEC settings.

You can see if the CODECs are working by installing "Media Player Classic" (MPC). Then open the AVS with MPC. If it plays back correctly, the odds are very high that it will also be frame-served correctly.

(The main movie don't appear in the stream list)

wierd bug in CURRENT VERSION 0.37.07 (March 29th, 2011)

I just tried to do movie only on 2 separate films both films are over 40 gb+ after ripping. After using BD Rebuilder, I end up with a film that is 8gb(should be 25gb) with full audio. The entire audio is there for length of film. the log shows everything completed.
The film plays fine for 27 minutes the uses the same frame (like a still) for the balance of the film using the entire audio. The entire film is 3 hours long(176 minutes).
This now the second time this has happened, with this version. First time I thought it was just a glich.
It is not consistantly doing it it appears it is only happening on large films over 2.5 hours. The last one was Waterworld directors cut.

You may want to try stepping back a version of X264 (look in one of the previous zip files for BD-RB) and see if that has an impact. But if you are overclocked, I'd suggest you back the cpu clock down a bit as that's more likely the issue. The time factor makes CPU heat a likely problem...

As I said a few posts back, X264 is the ultimate test for system stability.

Sounds like your PC has become unstable! Have you cleaned out the dust on the cpu fan, power supply, etc... to make sure it's not over heating? Or faulty power supply, memory, cpu, fan, etc.. among other potential issues could be present. :(

edit: looks like jdobbs is on top of this one too! :p

Just a note for those folks who do a lot of resizing to 720p.

I've been looking through the SUP file format and doing some work in resizing (to support subtitle conversion when outputting to DVD and fix the "forced flag" issue). In doing so I've just happened to have stumbled across the cause of the TSMUXER error that causes occasional failures when resizing to 720p.

The Object_Definition_Segment that includes all the information for actually drawing the subtitle image (stored as run-length encoded data) normally consists of only a single sequence (the graphic image of the text). Good enough, as the graphics for text is fairly small in most circumstances. But the Object_Definition_Segment has a mechanism for handling multiple sequences of graphic data (so large bitmaps can be divided into multiple parts each less than 64K long). It appears TSMUXER doesn't have the capability to handle those multiple sequences and dies when it encounters them (with the error "Unexpected byte").

The good news is that since these sequences are generally used in graphic overlays that aren't related to subtitles -- I can make BD Rebuilder ignore them completely when doing a movie-only encode. For full backups, however, the graphics are needed (usually to handle some type of special feature like pop-up selections etc.) I'm going to have to come up with some other way of resizing them.

Just thought it was interesting and wanted to let you know...

I hate to say it again... but are you overclocked? It sounds like X264 is crashing mid-encode.


No I am not overclocked
I will try stepping back a version of X264.

I have a power supply tester will check it out. I have been stable up till now.

[jdobbs]

No I am not overclocked
I will try stepping back a version of X264.

I have a power supply tester will check it out. I have been stable up till now. Find and run a utility that checks CPU temperature and look at it a couple of hours into the encode. Overclocking is the most common cause of overheating, but not the only one. You might look at your CPU's heatsink for dust buildup.

System issues are much more likely to be the problem than X264. Lots of other people are running the latest versions of BD-RB and X264 without issues.

I start hearing these kinds of reports every year when spring/summer comes around (most from overclocked systems). You'll see another one a little way back in this thread (but he refused to consider that his system might be at fault). Normally when X264 encounters an error, BD-RB will catch it by examining the O/S's returned error code. But when it is related to system instability it is unlikely that an error code will be returned. When that happens, all you end up with is a partial video encode that gets multiplexed into the output stream.

Would be great to have a solution for the (seldom, but annoying) 720p sups failure of TSMUXER, plus sub support for DVD output :) I have the DVD resizing working and it will be in the next release. There are some limits, though, when converting from a format that allows 256 colors to one that uses 4. But based on my testing it is still pretty good.

Thanks for the update jdobbs :thanks:

[had-z]

All my problems was solved with clearing the register of the ffdshow!! now i can backup without the fear of bad frames or macroblocks...

If i can help to solve the problem with black hawk down uploading a file (clpi or mpls) i will be even more happy! I'm very curious to see how will look a MPEG2-source encoded with the superior x264. (BHD is the only BD i have with the main movie encoded in MPEG-2)

Thanks Again Jdobbs.

That's good news. I do resizing quite often and have noticed the "english subs for non-english parts" didn't show up in the rebuilt version. This will be a great improvement to an already excellent program. Thanks.

is there a way to make rebuilder take an mpeg2 1080p file and compress it using x264 and then fit on a bd25???
if so how?

[Video Dude]

Does anyone experience chapter points that are off by about 0.5 seconds?

The original discs navigate chapter to chapter perfect. But when I play a backup and skip chapter to chapter I get the last couple frames of the previous chapter. It happens with every movie I do and all of them are movie only, no re-encode backups. (PowerDVD & Sony S370)

I examined the BD-RB output using Don Graft's tool to identify the IDR frame numbers and compared that to the chapter time codes displayed in BDEdit. I found that the BD-RB output is correct. The IDR frames match up exact with the chapter time codes.

Does this happen to anyone else? I can't figure out what could be causing this.

This is a bug reports thread! :rolleyes:
BD-RB is able to work with original Blu-ray rips, not individual files. You could use tsMuxeR to create a Blu-ray with your mpeg2 file if it is compliant, then use BD-RB on that output. :cool:

So you're essentially just using BD-RB to remux the main-movie playlist, right? Have you checked the IDR and chapter-points on the original rip, and do they exactly match what comes out of BD-RB?

[Video Dude]

I went back and checked the last backup I did since I still have the files on my hard drive (Fantasia 2000, movie only, no re-encode).

I extracted the chapters using both tsmuxer and BDedit. Playlist 00800 (I double checked it was the playlist BD-RB used). I noticed that there is a slight difference that could explain why my backups show the last few frames of the previous chapter when I skip chapters.

Well, I got my HP5 disc back -- but it is cracked and unplayable (a good reason not to loan my originals). All I have is a movie-only backup of it... so I guess I'm going to have to buy it again to test it.

[Edit] Ok. It's on its way. It was only $10 at Amazon. I should get it Thursday.

Backing up the extras on Batman Darknight (alternate movie only selection) to a BD5.

I don't know what the error message means.

I looked in the workfiles folder, and the m2ts was playable, but no audio.

Thanks.

@KillingTime

Are you working from an original disc? I tried both of the Region 1 "Dark Knight" discs and there is no playlist that contains only 00009.m2ts. I did, however find one on Disc 1 that is 0008.m2ts and is the exact same length as yours. I'm running it now.

Hi!

Are you trying to backup the "Extras" from Disc 1 or Disc2?

[Edit] Ok. I found it an fixed it for the next release. I had mistyped "59.97" as the framerate to be used in the META file when muxing that type of 720p stream. It should have been "59.94".

[KillingTime]

Yes, it's an original disc. Thanks for looking into it.

Backing up I, Robot to BD25. I made no changes to anything on the Stream tab (just expanded to confirm my preset options all looked applicable for this title). I do have one edit to the config file: I added "KEEP_HD_LPCM=1" which I sometimes toggle to 0 on certain titles. I started the backup, let it get finished extracting the first stream and then begin pass 1 of the encode, aborted via the Abort button, shut down pc, reboot, start BD-RB, click "Backup" and it's giving "The working path is not empty. DELETE ALL OLD FILES? YES/NO" and clicking NO aborts, not resumes. I did not make any changes, or even enter the Setup or View/Edit Config File menus. Win XP 32, Inspect.exe reports everything OK. Running 0.37.07.

I have used the resume function with BD-RBV03707 and it works for me.

Just ran a quick test again, and tried before and after rebooting, and the resume worked as expected! ;)

I know, and I absolutely did not change anything. I may well have a unique or very rare set of parameters/options to my encodes or something similar that's causing this, I'll post logs when I get home. This isn't the first time this has happened, though last time I was told that I must have changed something (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1473954#post1473954), yet down the road, a similar bug was later confirmed and fixed. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1480427#post1480427) I'm just trying to help track down a potential bug. If there's any possible way that my unique pc/Windows-install/setup could somehow be causing this, I'll accept that and quit reporting these if jdobbs requests it, but the one thing I know is that I'm not changing anything between Abort and (resume) Backup, or between the initial clicking of Backup and the resume Backup for that matter.

You probably changed something in the selection list (audio or subtitles) the first time -- then when BD-RB restarted, it went back the default from your selection list. I can tell you with 100% certainty that it is working as it should.

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. In the previous release (0.37.06), BD Rebuilder used x264-64.exe to do the encoding. In the latest release (0.37.07), it's using the 32-bit version, x264.exe. The encoding used to be around 2.00x, now it's down to 1.23x.

P.S. Great program!

[omegaman7]

I upgraded, and haven't noticed a problem. Last nights encode, went pretty quick, and only 3 cores in use. Perhaps i'm blind though :S

I've noticed the same thing here.

In my system (W7, x64) BD-RB 0.37.07 the encoder says x264-64 (process manager).

[jz1276]

I've just completed an encode of a movie with a 2:35.1 aspect ratio and noticed it left the black bars on the top and bottom which made it 16:9. Is there an automatic cropping option? The black bars take up space which could be used for higher image quality.

[bcovington]

Sigh... I guess the other several thousand people who are using it and don't have your problem must be missing something. I'm simply telling you the facts, whether you accept it is up to you.

As anyone here at DOOM9 can tell you, video encoding (especially X264) is very demanding and it will find issues on your system that would be hidden to other apps... it's the ultimate stability tester.

Good luck.

jdobbs - I did give up on Star Trek, just couldn't get it to work with BD RB. But I did get it to work with RipBot. I am only telling you in case it can help you in some way with that disk, etc. I prefer your program and have used it with no problems on 5-6 different bluray back-ups since then. RipBot required the newest version of ffdshow. So, those 5-6 backups have been completed using your program with the most recent version of ffdshow. I have had no problems at all. Can't believe how good the output is. Hope that helps. Donation on the way.

[jdobbs]

I'm using Windows 7 64-bit. In the previous release (0.37.06), BD Rebuilder used x264-64.exe to do the encoding. In the latest release (0.37.07), it's using the 32-bit version, x264.exe. The encoding used to be around 2.00x, now it's down to 1.23x.

P.S. Great program! It will only use the 64 bit version if you have LAVF selected -- that is the way it has always been. The 64 bit version will not work with AVS files.

I've just completed an encode of a movie with a 2:35.1 aspect ratio and noticed it left the black bars on the top and bottom which made it 16:9. Is there an automatic cropping option? The black bars take up space which could be used for higher image quality. There is no choice. Blu-ray only accepts 4:3 and 16:9. So the bars have to be there unless it is exactly one of those two ratios. There are no blu-ray discs with a 2.35:1 aspect ratio as it would violate the standard. A 2.35:1 film is always encapsulated into 16:9 (with the borders).

[wolverine3n8]

It will only use the 64 bit version if you have LAVF selected

Is this set through the settings or a hidden option?

[jdobbs]

Is this set through the settings or a hidden option? Look on the SETUP dialog for the "Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding" checkbox.

[omegaman7]

I noticed in v0.37.4's release, you changed the settings to have ("Use X264 Internal LAVF" to "on" as the default). But I see now we need to decide for ourselves to use it. Is there a thread I can read about this setting and it's benefits?

Well I didnt mean the blu ray itself had a 2.35:1 ratio, I meant the actual movie on the disc. I'm backing my discs up in MKV format which is why Im asking if this is possible. Thanks anyway.

When I logged in this morning, there was a OK/Cancel dialog window waiting for me with a warning about Audio/PGS sizing problem. Clicking OK continued the process and the backup finished without further warnings/errors. I haven't had time to play the output yet, unfortunately.

Is there a thread I can read about this setting and it's benefits?Do a search. I've talked about it here. It is faster on some systems and slower on others. Quality is pretty much the same. The real advantage of LAVF is that is bypasses FFDSHOW, HAALI, and AVISYNTH. Since most of my reported issues are from people who misconfigure those apps, using LAVF gets around some issues. So I had high hopes for it. But unfortunately there a lots of things that can't be done with LAVF and BD-RB has to automatically revert when it encounters them...

Hmmm... you can make MKVs to any ratio you want so, I can see your point. But, honestly, the space you save by removing the bars is inconsequential.

I haven't had time to play the output yet, unfortunately.That means that the audio in that segment is too large to fit in the allocated space for the entire video/audio/pgs combination. In other words you've probably decided to keep HD audio and have selected a size that is too small to hold it. When you said "Ok" to continue, it will use a standardized quality level and encode. But the likelihood that you will oversize is very high.

[omegaman7]

Sounds pretty advantageous when capable. Thanks ;)

jdobbs, will you have to change the x264 command line in the next version?


r1936
Improve Blu-ray compliance
Use dec_ref_pic_marking SEIs to repeat B-ref referencing information.
Don't allow B-frames to reference frames outside their minigop.

r1935
Consolidate Blu-ray hacks into --bluray-compat
This option is now required for Blu-ray compatibility.
--open-gop bluray is now gone (using bluray-compat and open-gop implies a Blu-ray compatible open-gop).
This option doesn't automatically enforce every aspect of Blu-ray compatibility (e.g. resolution, framerate, level, etc).

[A.Fenderson]

what other "blu-ray hacks" are they referencing? --b-pyramid strict? There weren't any besides open-gop that had "bluray" as an option, were there?

[shon3i]

--b-pyramid strict is not only "blu-ray" option so stay as is. And --bluray-compat is now mandatory, other hacks described here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1492261#post1492261

[jdobbs]

what other "blu-ray hacks" are they referencing? --b-pyramid strict? There weren't any besides open-gop that had "bluray" as an option, were there?

I have very carefully chosen the settings in BD-RB for blu-ray compatibility. I suggest you (and everyone) leave the settings alone -- I have had way to many people who want to change settings saying "it works for me" even though it violates specs (especially GOP count).

By the way... the changes you are referencing were only posted on X264.nl today -- I recommend you NEVER use a version other than the one that is included in the zip for BD-RB. I have a series of tests I run before including any new software -- BD-RB v0.37.07 should be used with X264 r1924.

[A.Fenderson]

Gotcha. No worries, I'm interested in max stability, and actually helping progress the beta, eliminate bugs, etc--wouldn't want to cause you more headache than I already do. ;)

My comment was off-topic, I was just asking a general x264 question, and should have searched instead: sorry. I'll try to stay on-target.

[Pure3picshot]

this may sound like a dumb question, but does setting and increasing the target size of an MKV container keeping audio intact and or AC3 DD5.1 increase video quality? I have been trying to compare DVD9 to a 10GB MKV container with DTS Audio intact, but the DVD9 setting seems to come out better. I maybe wrong, but was wondering if someone had a little insight. Awesome program, I have been using a while finally getting around to registering to the forum =) Trying to get the best video quality around a DVD9 size.

Awesome program, I have been using a while finally getting around to registering to the forum =) Trying to get the best video quality around a DVD9 size. The same size will produce the same quality... regardless of whether it is MKV or M2TS. The M2TS uses slightly more for overhead, but not enough to really make a huge difference.

As for the audio -- typically using DD5.1 will use less space than DTS, so yes the video would probably look slightly better with DD 5.1. If you want the best quality I would recommend using DD5.1 @ 640Kbs for output. Others may argue the point -- but in my opinion DD5.1 at that bitrate is indistinguishable from uncompressed audio (and all the tests done by audio engineers agree).

As for which is better... six of one and a half dozen of the other. It really doesn't matter which one you choose because it only takes about 5 minutes to switch between the two with the right software.

Any news on my HP5 issue ? See previous post (all eng language streams, that are not all eng) Well I did some testing on this disc. Here's the bad news: The reason it won't encode is because the main feature contains an IGS stream. A few versions ago I made a change to disallow reencoding of streams with IGS -- that's because as-of today, there is no way to reintegrate the IGS into the output (TSMUXER won't handle it). Typically IGS is only used on small special features and menus... but HP5 is that one in a thousand special case.

The good news is that I can fix it for movie-only mode for the next release. The IGS is never needed then. I can also add a hidden option that allows a full encode to reencode despite the IGS -- the downside to that is that while you can be sure the film will always play perfectly, you never know which of the special feature will be hampered (but something will).

I guess I'm going have light a fire under myself for that code the reintegrates DTS-Express and IGS. I put it aside after a couple of weeks of frustrating results.

I just send some kindling and a box of matches, which is all I can afford right now. ;-) Maybe some others can afford to throw some jet fuel on that.

Interestingly, I did HP5, R1, to a full disc backup to BD-25 quite some time ago, and it completed successfully. I tested it on my S360 and everything seemed to work just fine. I can't remember which version of BD-RB I would have used on it, which probably doesn't matter regarding IGS, but I did not experience any problems. I tested the intro to the main menu, selected the movie to play, and it was fine. Can't remember any special feature problems either, which I usually test as well. :confused:

I'd have to guess it is a popup of some kind (BD Live, maybe?). Here's where I made the change:

February 7th, 2011 - v0.37.4
- Inserted temporary code to prevent streams that
contain IGS from being processed. Since these
are normally menus and by nature are small,
they will be kept intact. This should prevent
the rare "Menu without buttons" issue until
IGS reintegration routines are completed.

[Ch3vr0n]

@jdobbs: thx for getting back to me on that. Please add that hidden switch till you manage to solve it. The reason is that i never do movie-only backups, only full disc ones. Guess there's always 1 disc that has to be an outsider like with everything in the real world. Something or someone's gotta be different then the rest

[omegaman7]

Definitely pays to check check and recheck before posting to this thread. I was almost convinced that I had either a bad rip, or encode problem. Or even still, that it was a result of a new setting(Use Internal LAVF) I've never used before. But it turns out that Totalmedia theatre v 3.0.1.120 has a problem rendering the Harry Potter 7 Pt1 BD Menu(Even the preprocessed files). The menu stutters rather substantially. I was gonna try Powerdvd but it wants me to upgrade to a new version. So I burned the Bd rebuilder Output. My current standalone, Samsung BD-p1590 is being rather picky with my BD-R discs as of late. But I only needed it to run for a few minutes, while I checked the menu playback. It played flawlessly. I wonder why the menu plays erratically, while the main movie is fine in arcsofts player. Weird....

I will definitely remain thorough in the future. It's actually pretty rare Rebuilder causes trouble....

[Ch3vr0n]

Jdobbs, you don't have 37.03 lying arround anymore do you if it won't impact coding to much. so i can rebuilt it anyway. The oldest version i have is exactly 37.04 where you added that code.

Hello,

Just finished compressing Heartbreak Ridge (BD) to 720P and 1080P. The audio is out of sync on both. I would say by about half a second. Enough to be noticeable. BDRebuilder is set to output 448 AC3.

I'm selecting the DTS HD audio track (English). Tried it 3 times now. Same result.

Played the original BD structure back through the same player and the audio is fine.

I found a new bug in the dark knight!, is not related with the encode, everything is ok.

The bug is: when the feature "play movie with focus points" is ON and the disc icon appears on the left corner, after press the enter button (to view the behind the scenes stuff of that scene) is played the BTS of another scene...

ie: when i press the enter button in the movie when the joker detonates the hospital a BTS of how they filmed IMAX scenes will play.

[A.Fenderson]

I got an unusual undersize on Black Swan backup to BD25: it was 21,880,101,204 bytes, or 87% of a BD25, whereas for quite some time, all my BD25 backups have been consistently 95% +/- 1%, no more deviation than that. I always set the option to retain only the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders, and these were the only folders retained, but the original rip did have one additional folder, DCOPY, containing 2,089,247,182 bytes of data: adding this to the size of the generated backup gives a sum which is ~96% of BD25 capacity. I suspect the math allocating bitrates to the video streams was done prior to subtracting the room saved by dropping the (unusually large) extraneous content in the original rip.

Please run INSPECT.EXE and post your results. If it is out of sync it is very likely some version isn't correct.

All my other movies encode correctly (done 15 now). It's only Heartbreak Ridge.

Thanks.

Give me a day or two and I'll have v0.37.08 out.

No worries mate, when it comes to backing up discs i'm a patient man. I'm only doing full disc backups so if 37.08 only has movie-only mode i can wait some more. Proof of that is that i have several DTS-Express discs already ripped to my harddrive and ready to be compressed with a DTS-E capable BDRB.

How's it coming on that end by the way ? Any luck ?

The encode is ok. but when the traileres start (before movie) don't have sound, and the extras don't have sound to. The movie is ok.

v0.37.07

hope you can look in it

v0.37.07

hope you can look in it Are you sure you have sound selected for the language in use? What does BD-RB say in the streams list?

Contents of the Log, INI file, and INF files?

Hi! but when the traileres start (before movie) don't have sound, and the extras don't have sound to. The movie is ok. I believe that if you are making a BD-9 or BD-5, your problem will be resolved if you click on "Settings" and put a checkmark next to "Do not convert DTS to AC3(Blu-ray only)". The disc has more than one type of DTS (HD and SD) - and otherwise, this seems to cause some confusion...

Has the ability to convert a European (1080i50) Bluray to a US-spec bluray been added?

If not, any suggested work-arounds?

I Am Legend: reencode to BD25, @ ~18:10 into the .m2ts of the alternate version of the film (00006.m2ts), video pauses briefly then turns grey, audio continues uninterrupted, video resumes moments later but behind the audio by about the amount of time the video had been frozen and greyed out.
Log shows no problems with encode or muxing for this file:

Note that while video encoding of 00009.m2ts initially failed, it successfully retried, and the reencoded file shows no problems whatsoever.

Walking Dead, Season 1, Disc 2: reencode to BD25, @ ~33:45 into the .m2ts of the final episode (00101.m2ts), video pauses briefly then turns grey, audio jumps ahead twice quickly, video resumes moments later but behind the audio by about the amount of time the video had been frozen and greyed out. I had unfortunately already deleted the logfile prior to discovering the issue.

I am not overclocked. X264 has crashed and needed to restart during approximately 3 encodes since changing to BD-RB 0.37.07, and rarely if ever prior to that.

Could be a hardware issue on this end, but other than this I've been fairly stable for quite some time on this machine and using it with BD-RB near-constantly for months (two-pass very-slow earns its name on my outdated machine!).

Are you experimenting with other versions of the software I have linked in the first post of this thread? What you are describing sure sounds like it.

This seems to be the codec with the fewest problem on VC-1. For Vista or Windows 7 -- select "wmv9"

Wow, I missed that somehow. Thanks, I'll do that.

I'm also running Windows Memory Diagnostic (http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp) (the tool is a bootable 32-bit program you run from CD, so can test 4GB RAM max, but otherwise it works on any system), in the extended tests mode, and it will run 9+ hours while I'm away, so if there is a RAM problem that should find it--I've had it catch problems with a bad stick in the past. If it's useful for anyone else, Vista (and presumably 7) have a version of this built-in.

So I am trying to REBUILD the movie "DIE ANOTHER DAY" so that it would fit on a BD-R. I ran it 6 times and I keep getting the same error as posted in the above error log. I havent changed anything and before this I have been able to successfully backup more than 10 Blu-Rays.

Please Help. Why am I getting the "FAILED VIDEO ENCODE" error.

[jdobbs]

@rccland

Completely uninstall AVISYNTH, HAALI, FFDSHOW, and BD-RB. Then install them all from scratch. Sometimes other programs change defaults or intercept CODECs and INSPECT won't catch it. A reinstall will usually fix it.

Thanks JDOBBS. I will try your suggestion. As for install instruction I will follow the instruction thats posted on the first page of this forum.

Also just for a test I tried to re-build CASINO ROYALE and it worked fine. It worked fine before so I thought if I did mess up the settings then CASINO ROYALE wont work this time but it worked FINE :)

Just something to think about.

Just something to think about. Is it an AVC source like the one that failed? I'd guess not. That would mean it is using an entirely different CODEC, so one might work while the other might not.

[Capsbackup]

Is it an AVC source like the one that failed? I'd guess not. That would mean it is using an entirely different CODEC, so one might work while the other might not.

Casino Royale is listed as MPEG-4 (AVC). No doubt there is another codec interfering as MPEG-4 (AVC) is perhaps the least troublesome to reencode. ;)

[rccland]

Is it an AVC source like the one that failed? I'd guess not. That would mean it is using an entirely different CODEC, so one might work while the other might not.

Yea DIE ANOTHER DAY is MPEG-4 AVC and as mentioned above CASINO ROYALE is also MPEG-4 AVC. Which would make sense since both BOND movies come from MGM. But as I mentioned before CASINO ROYALE WORKS FINE!

[Capsbackup]

Yea DIE ANOTHER DAY is MPEG-4 AVC so is CASINO ROYALE. But as I mentioned before CASINO ROYALE WORKS FINE!

I have done Die Another Day R1 to BD-25 full backup, with no problem.

[rccland]

I have done Die Another Day R1 to BD-25 full backup, with no problem.

k thanks. I will return the movie and buy a new one. See if the new disc works OK. Just out of curiosity can you post your settings you used to backup Die Another Day please.

thanks

If bd rebuilder is anything like Dvd rebuilder, then it doesn't like dirty files. By dirty, I mean any imperfections in the files/code, that rebuilder doesn't like. Thankfully, my iHES108 Bd drive, doesn't do TOO poor a job LOL! It does have a tendency of introducing minor artifacting. But it hasn't done it since the firmware upgrade. Could be coincidence. Time will tell...

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new release of BD-RB (v0.37.08). Changes for this version are:- Corrected an issue in which resizing a source
from 480i/29.97 to 720p would result in an
TSMUXER "Non standard fps value" error during
the remuxing.
- Developed new routines so resizing of subtitle
streams is now done by BD-RB (rather than via
TSMUMXER). This corrects several possible
issues associated with resizing PGS streams.
- Corrected an issue in which opening a feature
in movie-only mode that contains IGS in the
main-movie stream could result in a "Selected
Source is not BD Format" error.
- Rebuilt the algorithms for checking subtitle
sources. This should eliminate the TSMUXER
error "Unexpected byte" and failure that could
sometimes occur while extracting audio/subs and
resizing to 720p.
- Corrected an issue in movie-only mode in which
"forced" subtitle (e.g. when foreign languages
are spoken) were not supported during resizing.
- Added support for subtitles when outputting to
ALTERNATE/DVD. Note that the conversion of
the graphics and integration into the output
stream adds approx 2 minutes to the overall job
for each subtitle kept, so it is recommended
you only select the subtitles you really want.
- Add a new hidden option "DVD_SUB_BACKGROUND".
It lets you select the type of background you'd
like for DVD output (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT).
- Add a new hidden option "DVD_SUB_COLOR". It lets
you select the subtitle foreground color you'd
like for DVD output (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1937).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1936).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[MickJT]

Thanks for the new release.

[jdobbs]

Thanks for the new release.Much appreciated. Writing the SUP/PGS handling routines turned out to be a little more work than I expected -- but they work well now. No more "Unexpected byte" errors from TSMUXER when resizing now. It also made it possible for me to automatically include subs in DVD output and fix the "forced subs disappearing" problem from TSMUXER.

[Discoboy]

- Corrected an issue in movie-only mode in which
"forced" subtitle (e.g. when foreign languages
are spoken) were not supported during resizing.


Many thanks jdobbs :)

Great work! BD-Rebuilder has definitely come a long way since the first time I used it (which it didn't work for me at that time). I would LOVE to see a program removal feature added to this tool so that I can remove unwanted chains from the final result (like annoying advertisements & such). In fact, I'd be glad to even pay for such a feature. That's how annoying those things are to me. I was unable to find a feature request area so I apologize for this post being in the wrong place.

I use Clown_BD BD Copier to eliminate the ads, trailers, warnings, etc. It can be a little tedious, but effective.

[had-z]

I found a new bug in the dark knight!, is not related with the encode, everything is ok.

The bug is: when the feature "play movie with focus points" is ON and the disc icon appears on the left corner, after press the enter button (to view the behind the scenes stuff of that scene) is played the BTS of another scene...

ie: when i press the enter button in the movie when the joker detonates the hospital a BTS of how they filmed IMAX scenes will play.

I have a question related to this kind of issues with bd-rb, if i do a backup in fastest mode and the problem is solved, can i replace the files .mpls or .clpi in the highest quality backup? or this won´t work at all, due to the different sizes of the outputs?

Thanks for the new version!! seems like the problem with the Black hawk down will be solved in the next release, in the previous builds i see the error you mentioned in the changelog:

- Corrected an issue in which opening a feature
in movie-only mode that contains IGS in the
main-movie stream could result in a "Selected
Source is not BD Format" error.

Now i can do the movie-only backup, but i want to do the full-backup.

a question: What is IGS?

:thanks: jdobbs

[Sharc]

@jdobbs
Thank you for the latest update v0.37.08.
I did a first test with the new subs feature on Alternate PAL DVD. The subtitles flash up for the duration of 1 frame or so only, i.e. something with the display time seems to be wrong.
The time stamps of the extracted sup from the original m2ts appear to be correct and the subtitle displays correctly for the BD.
I will occasionally try with another disc.

All the tests have been with NTSC, but that really shouldn't make a difference. If you look in the XML files for each sub, you should be able to see the start and stop times. Let me know if you find anything interesting.

[Sharc]

If you look in the XML files for each sub, you should be able to see the start and stop times. Let me know if you find anything interesting.
Here an excerpt from the XML.
Start and stop times are about identical ....
<spu yoffset="514" xoffset="216" transparent="101010" image="C:\TEMP\BD REBUILDER\WORKFILES\DVDSUBS\4608_00634.png" end="00:50:31.71" start="00:50:31.70"/>

The start times are correct, the problem is with the end times.
Should perhaps the milliseconds be a 3 digit number?

In fact, it looks like it is exactly backward and there's no way it could do that on its own. :confused:

Have you tried any other discs?

[Ch3vr0n]

just wanted to say that the latest version still won't compress my HP5 in fulldisc mode

[Capsbackup]

I did The King's Speech, R1, Blu-ray to DVD alternate output with this new release BD-RBV03708, and the subtitles came out perfect! Used the default settings so the subtitle colors are yellow, but are perfectly in sync and display for the correct length of time. Final output was 4.29GB, keeping the one audio track and both english and spanish subtitle tracks.
Well done jdobbs! :D

[Capsbackup]

just wanted to say that the latest version still won't compress my HP5 in fulldisc mode

Interestingly, I did HP5 to full disc BD-25 quite some time ago, and it worked perfectly.
So I load BD-RBV03708, and it shows "Approximate Source Content: [ 5:03:47.266]. However, the main movie, 00000.m2ts, is not in the list of streams to be reencoded. :confused:
If I switch to Movie Only mode, then it is listed as well as the three alternative mpls files for 00000.m2ts ( 00000mpls, 00059.mpls, and 00060.mpls ) for a movie length of 2:18:14.452.
HP5 does have 14 listed audio tracks available for the main movie, of which two are English; one is LPCM 4608kbps and one is 640kbps 5.1 DD.
The largest listed stream to reencode in full backup mode is VID_00031, an MPEG-2, 480i 29.97fps stream, and the next largest is VID_00002, which is a VC-1, 1080i, 29.97fps stream.
So it does appear their is something not right.

If I click Backup on the above listed attempt, I get Target is too small to continue!

The XML was generated by BD-RB (or by one of the included tools), but hmmm... I took an earlier compressed and resized BD5 as a source for this test.
It is possible that I preprocessed the sups with BDSup2Sub when making the BD5 backup, because of the issue of TSMUXER with sups resizing, or just to shift the sups into the active picture area, I don't remember exactly. Anyway, the BD5 had no playback issues with the sups.
I will try again with the original disc.

I will try again with the original disc. I can assure you that the XML couldn't have been created in that format by BD-RB... odd, though that it exactly backwards from what BD-RB creates. I'm scratching my head on that one. I can't see how it could possibly be output that way based on the formatting I'm using to write the XML file. :confused:

I'm doing some checks to see if I can find a disc that acts similar to yours. The only one I've found so far was one that was doing animation... and it makes sense in that case because the picture is moved at regular intervals, and I ignore all but the first.

You probably processed it previously with a version from before the IGS check was added.

[jdobbs]

It is possible that I preprocessed the sups with BDSup2Sub when making the BD5 backup I'll also run a couple of SUPs through BDSup2Sub and see if it is something specific to the way it writes its output.

Well done jdobbs! :DDo you think the subtitles should default to white rather than yellow?

[omegaman7]

Avatar, yellow subtitles were completely natural. But white is certainly more commonplace if you ask me ;)

[had-z]

Hmm... I meant to put in a hidden option to allow overlooking IGS for full backups too -- but forgot. I'll get that in on the next release.

The only option we have to do a full backup of HP5 and Black Hawk Down is wait the next release with the hidden option that jdobbs mentioned. :)

[Capsbackup]

Do you think the subtitles should default to white rather than yellow?

Yes, upon further thought! The original Blu-ray is white subtitles, and for this movie it works well.
If I remember correctly though, most DVD's subtitles did use yellow color. But this can be a distraction, so white would be less obtrusive. :)

[Ch3vr0n]

@Capsbackup: most dvd's use yellow ? Not in my region. They're all white with the occasional yellow but i find yellow damn annoying. I loved Avatar (though in blu-ray) but if there's 1 thing i hated it was those yellow subs. BTW the reason your HP5 is failing now is because of that IGS stream code jdobbs added in 34.04.

That being said, bring on the next version so i can finally resize it. Oh and while you're at it, throw DTS-E processing in it too ;)

[setarip_old]

most DVD's subtitles did use yellow color. But this can be a distraction, so white would be less obtrusive. There are MANY movies that have many mostly white/light grey backgrounds. Yellow subs are assured to be legible in such instances, whereas oft'times the white subs disappear into the background...

[Ch3vr0n]

@setarip: that i won't deny. White letters that disappear in the movie is another thing i hate. On those occasions i wouldn't mind if the letters were given a stronger border, or shade or even such a seethrough bar in case the subs cover the opening credits wich is often done. But yellow i personally find that a bit extreme.

But yellow i personally find that a bit extreme. Well you gotta' choose one or the other. Writing code that will analyze and outline the text (beyond what you get with the bilinear resizing) is a lot more work than I'm willing to do for these DVD subtitles. I'm changing the default to white -- buy you can always choose yellow or green from the hidden option.

I may be able to add in another hidden setting that allows you to set your own low/mid/high intensity colors for the subtitles -- but frankly I tried a bunch of them, and the ones I'm using now are about as good as it gets.

For subtitles that can always be read -- you can choose a non-transparent background using the DVD_SUB_BACKGROUND hidden option. I've given two options, black and dark blue.

forgive me jdobbs, i was just discussing the subtitle color wich is beyond the purpose of this thread. Sorry about that. Don't go out of your way to add more tweaks. For me its not necessairy. I only do full disc BD25 backups. For DVD backups i get the DVD itself.

I was just trying to point out that ALTERNATE/DVD is not the primary purpose of BD-RB -- so while I wanted to make it complete by adding subtitle support, I don't want to go off on a tangent that keeps me from working on what I consider to be the more-important blu-ray features.

@jdobbs, I tested DVD output mode, everything works fine :) (The Town and RED), but I found that DVD compliant audio tracks (AC3 > 448 Kbps) are being re-encoded, which reduces sound quality and sometimes increases file size a little (from AC3 384/192 Kbps to 448/224 Kbps).

:helpful: I have to say that AC3@384 is rare on commercial DVD discs. More importantly, it is pretty much non-existent in blu-ray... so where is it coming from in your processing? The defacto standard for DD5.1 is 448Kbs on DVD and 640Kbs is standard on Blu-ray. So I just don't see how 384 even comes in play except for something that has been preprocessed.

As for the 224Kbs... yeah 192Kbs is probably more common, but due to an anomaly in blu-ray muxing they take the same amount of space.

As for "reduces sound quality" -- I'd like to know how increasing bitrate ever decreases quality? All blu-ray to DVD 5.1 conversions reencode to 448Kbs, because 640Kbs (the overwhelming standard in blu-ray) violates the DVD spec.

[SquallMX]

Hi, some of the Blu-rays from my country are really crappy, for example Planet 51 has an "all powerful" Dolby Digital 5.1 Spanish track at 256 Kbps!!!

But the problem is not the increased file size, is the not necessary re-encoding, I tested The Town (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.php?p=20178272&postcount=2819) Blu-ray disc, the dubs were Dolby Digital 5.1 at 448 Kbps, and the Director's Comment was Dolby 2.0 at 192 Kbps, these are DVD Compliant bitrates but BD-Rebuilder is re-encoding the tracks, that is my "bug report".

As for "reduces sound quality" -- I'd like to know how increasing bitrate ever decreases quality? All blu-ray to DVD 5.1 conversions reencode to 448Kbs, because 640Kbs (the overwhelming standard in blu-ray) violates the DVD spec.

Even if the encoding software is great, re-encoding a lossy source is always going to produce a lower quality output (acording to all the experts of Hydrogenaudio :)), for example the original 5.1 tracks had a frecuency cut of 20 Khz, the Aften output had a cut of 16 Khz. But the point is, since the original tracks are already DVD Compliant why re-encode them?

Thanks for your time and your hard work, and sorry to bother you :helpful:

[Sharc]

I can assure you that the XML couldn't have been created in that format by BD-RB... odd, though that it exactly backwards from what BD-RB creates. I'm scratching my head on that one. I can't see how it could possibly be output that way based on the formatting I'm using to write the XML file. :confused:

I'm doing some checks to see if I can find a disc that acts similar to yours. The only one I've found so far was one that was doing animation... and it makes sense in that case because the picture is moved at regular intervals, and I ignore all but the first.
Part of the mystery is solved:
When the .xml is opened in Internet Explorer/XML editor, the sequence is reversed! When I open the .xml in a text editor, the sequence is as you expect it to be.

I tried another 720p disc, a BD9 movie only created by BD-RB from the original Blu ray disc. No preprocessing of the sups with the exception of selecting the 3 sup tracks of one language only for the BD9 backup. But still no luck with the subs for the Alternate DVD from this BD9 movie-only source. The start and end times in the .xml are correct, but now the subtitles have not been muxed into the .vobs. From the log:
- [01:26:51] Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure
- [01:29:05] Converting 3 subtitles to DVD format.
- Unable to convert subtitle: 4608, ignored.
- Unable to convert subtitle: 4609, ignored.
- Unable to convert subtitle: 4610, ignored.
- [01:31:46] Starting MPLEX.
- [01:35:31] Building DVD File Structure.
[01:39:54] - Encode and Rebuild complete

My conclusion so far is that it seems not to work (for me) from re-authored 720p BD5/9 sources. Have you tried this case?
I'll try now using the original BluRay disc as source (although you have certainly tested it exhaustively, and other posters have reported success.... so something my be odd just here, and no point in wasting your time on it).

Edit 1:
Could the problem be related to the 23.976 to 25 fps PAL conversion? I am using ALTERNATE_PAL=1 (no adding of frames).

Edit 2:
The subtitles work when using the original BluRay as source rather than the 720p movie-only backup as in my previous tests. However they loose sync, I suspect because of the 23.976 to 25 fps video conversion with ALTERNATE_PAL=1.
I think if I accept ghosted frames (ALTERNATE_PAL=0) the sync of the subtitles would be maintained.

But the point is, since the original tracks are already DVD Compliant why re-encode them?

Thanks for your time and your hard work, and sorry to bother you :helpful: I'll put a header check into the process and if the original AC3 source is DVD compliant it will not be reencoded. I find it hard to fathom, though, why an original commercial BD (that hasn't been preprocessed) would be authored at 256Kbs for a 5.1 track? It saves almost nothing and can seriously hurt quality at that bitrate.

Oh well, I guess there is no limit to the lunacy of some disc authoring houses.

I do doubt seriously, though, that any human ears could detect a quality drop for a source that was reencoded at a higher bitrate than the original. I realize that any reencoding could result in some degradation -- but if a human can't hear it, does it really matter? But... if it doesn't have to be reencoded, there's really no reason to do it, so I'll add the check. It'll keep the purists happy.

Hmm... that reminds me of a saying: "If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman there to hear him -- is he still wrong?"

I'll do some testing using 720p sources as well as setting ALTERNATE_PAL=1 and see how it goes.Well, it doesn't appear to have anything to do with ALTERNATE_PAL=1. I just did a feature to PAL and the subtitles are perfect. I'll create a 720p source and run it against that next. Honestly, though, I can't imagine why that would cause issues... but you never know.

Interesting, thanks for your reply.
I found the time stamps in the XML to be the same as those of the original 23.976 fps .sup file. Therefore I concluded that this could be the reason for the sync loss with the 25fps (speed up) PAL DVD backup.

I wasn't accounting for the slight speedup involved in ALTERNATE_PAL... I've fixed it for the next release. Now on to 720p sources.

[rccland]

Yea DIE ANOTHER DAY is MPEG-4 AVC and as mentioned above CASINO ROYALE is also MPEG-4 AVC. Which would make sense since both BOND movies come from MGM. But as I mentioned before CASINO ROYALE WORKS FINE!

Just an update. I re-installed everything. Got a new DIE ANOTHER DISC but same result failted to encode. I do have some new information. I tried playing the m2ts file in VLC and i cant see the video and the audio is choppy and goes in and out constantly. This makes me believe there might be some codec issues. Any clue what codec if any I am missing. I thought by installing all the recommended software with BD-Rebuilder would be sufficient?

Any clue what codec if any I am missing. I thought by installing all the recommended software with BD-Rebuilder would be sufficient? Normally it is. But when you have other video related software packages installed, sometimes they bypass windows settings and intercept things on their own. They shouldn't do that, but they do -- and most of the time they do it without even giving you a warning.

If you have any "Codec Packs" installed (they're often at fault) -- get rid of them.

[A.Fenderson]

I Am Legend: reencode to BD25, @ ~18:10 into the .m2ts of the alternate version of the film (00006.m2ts), video pauses briefly then turns grey, audio continues uninterrupted, video resumes moments later but behind the audio by about the amount of time the video had been frozen and greyed out.

Just an FYI/update: RAM tested good and I absolutely confirmed I wasn't overclocked. Second encode attempt, after enabling WMP11 VC1 decode on Win XP, gave exact same results. Turns out it was a problem with the rip (I used the same rip both times) that was almost unnoticeable during playback (except on frame-advance), and appeared just as fairly minor macroblock issues on only about 3 consecutive and otherwise noisy frames when playing back the original rip. I always decrypt and rip via AnyDVD-HD, and I don't know if the problem is there, the drive, or the disc, but this time I'm ripping with Teracopy in "copy & test" mode. Sorry for (further) cluttering up the bug thread, but I thought maybe my experience might help others track down and eliminate non-BD-RB issues.

[Race Guy]

Here's an FYI for you jdobbs.....

I've settled on 24250MB as my "custom" size for BD-25 backups. I'm usually at 99% when I load the finished project into ImgBurn "build". If you wave your cursor over the finished folder in Win7, the pop up will usually say between 22.8 & 23.1 GB. VERY consistent!

Then I tried the flick "Night Of The Hunter" in 37.04. With that 24250 target, full BU. I got 23.8 GB, which is WAY over! I dialed back to 23450MB (-800MB) & then I got my 23.0, just as you'd expect.

For the heck of it, last week I tried it again in 37.07 at 24250 & got the same 800MB over size.

There's nothing out of the ordinary on the flick. The main audio is LPCM 1.0, which is all I kept. Let me know if you want any more info.

[worknstiff]

@Race Guy, I too use around that size (24300 for me) for my rebuilds. That has worked out really great for most of my "Movie Only" backups, but not all of them. Occasionally it has gone over but if I try to do a " Full" backup, I back it back down to around 24,200 or 24,150. I have never had any go over by more than 1 or 2 hundred megabytes and that was usually on the series type disks where I had to do "Full" rebuilds to get all the episodes. I have always wondered how BD_Rebuilder figures out what is an extra on the series disks because there is no clear cut extra since all the episodes are the same size. I had a series disk recently with five 47:00 minute episodes on it, and a special feature that was 27 minutes long. The first time I ran it thru BD_Rebuilder the original 27 minute extra .m2ts on the 46gig disk was 8 gigs. After the rebuild it still used 3.4 gigs of my 25gig backup, and each 47 minute episode was around 4.1 gigs. I thought that was way too much space that could better be used for the real episodes. I took the all the extras from 3 of the original disks and created a MultiAVCHD BD and ran it thru BD_Rebuilder to create a BD5 disk. The original 8 gig size was squeezed down to just 3 gigs and after replacing it into the original 46gig disk and then BD_Rebuilding it, the size was now 500 MB's. Even after all this it was still good enough to watch. The oversize problem is just when you have lots of extra content to try to compress that gives BD_Rebuilder a problem, and I'm sure if left on the default setting of 23400 it would probably never oversize.

I ran into some problems with subtitles streams.
The extracted files seemed OK, but when everything was done, when playing the file, many lines were missing, then they came back normally (not easy when the audio is Japanese).
Tried the file in BDSup2Sub, only 45 lines were found instead of 343.

Tried to extract the same sup file with MeGui (HD Streams extractor), and the sup file was valid with BDSup2Sub.

I don't know if this will work, but I tried switching the sup file with the one I got, but it's not cool to stay by your comp to switch files before the remux.
Is there a way to solve this problem ? Thanks.

[Capsbackup]

@Kane;
If you kept the Workfiles folder, then just rename the subtitle stream you want, or demuxed outside of BD-RB, that you believe is good, to the exact name of the one you want to replace, and replace it. Then as long as you have all the settings EXACTLY the same as your original backup, BD-RB will rebuild it again with this newly renamed subtitle stream instead of the original one it demuxed. :cool:
But more important for jdobbs is the title and region of this original Blu-ray so he can determine the problem and correct it! ;)

[Kane]

Oh, good to know. I thought it would re-encode it again. Yay for time saving.

BTW, the blurays are Clannad After Story, Japanese versions (the problem occurs on almost every bluray).

[Capsbackup]

Hmm... if you're not resizing, it has to be a TSMUXER problem during demuxing.

@All

Has anyone else experienced this?

Though I do not usually use the subtitles, on occasion I use them when it is hard to hear or understand an actor / actress accent. On these, BD5/9 and BD-25 discs they always work perfectly. I have never experienced only some subtitles missing or not displayed. I am region A though, so maybe other regions / languages experience this. :confused:

[Kane]

Well, I think Japan is also Region A (even if those discs are region free).
And my problem only happens on English subs, Japanese were fine (even if I didn't keep them).

@jdobbs, I also think it's a Tsmuxer problem, as extracting them with eac3to work flawlessly.

[A.Fenderson]

....I suspect the math allocating bitrates to the video streams was done prior to subtracting the room saved by dropping the (unusually large) extraneous content in the original rip.

You may already be aware of this jdobbs, but I've confirmed that 0.37.08 is still allocating space for ripped content outside the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders, even when the option is set to exclude this material in the rebuild.

[jdobbs]

You may already be aware of this jdobbs, but I've confirmed that 0.37.08 is still allocating space for ripped content outside the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders, even when the option is set to exclude this material in the rebuild. Is the additional material in the root folder, or in another folder? I just looked at the code, and it appears I'm not excluding information in the root (I'll fix that) but other folders are excluded.

[Capsbackup]

I have just experienced my first error in years! Same as reported by another reporter, rccland, and on the exact same movie, Die Another Day. I was remaking this BD-25 full movie backup, which I had done successfully a long time ago, but after checking my backup I discovered my Ritek BR2-00 media / disc was no longer good.
Was this error resolved for the next release? If not and you have this disc, give it a run and see what you find. :confused:

rccland reported that the original 00132.M2TS wouldn't playback. Can you test it? Maybe a bad M2TS included to confuse reencoding?

My VID_00132.avs plays back perfectly with MPC, as does the original .m2ts. It is a 47 second long clip, which is an extra as to how the film was made. It starts out looking like the real clip, and then resizes to a PiP with the director explaining the scene.

EDIT:
Just some info:
If I set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250, this VID_00132 is removed from the to be encoded list. This is a multi-m2ts movie, with three playlists. This VID_00132 is part of only one playlist. If I check the contents of this playlist with BDInfo, it shows 2 MPEG-4, AVC, 1080P clips for the several .m2ts files of this playlist. It is the same as VID_00131, but with this additional footage of how the scene was made. There are several of these double 1080P video within one m2ts file for this movie, it's just VID_00132 came up first in the to be reencoded list, causing the failure.

Sorry to do that to you, but your library must be impressive! :)
Is there any info: playlists, clpi, etc... that I could provide that might help?
The 00132.m2ts file is 144 MB. If I zip and upload the playlist and clpi, would this be of help?

I can understand! :(
If the files mentioned above could help, and possibly avoid your purchasing this one, I would be happy to send them. :o

Just for testing, I have added MIN_M2TS_SIZE=800, which is greater than the largest .m2ts file of this playlist, and now none of these offending m2ts files are on the reencode list.
BD-RB is running now, and I will let it continue and update the results.

More info:
Interestingly, the total reencode time is identical with and without MIN_M2TS_SIZE=800. ( 04:35:31.163 ) The additional files in the first failed run, of which VID_00132 is the first of 16 files, are NOT included in the second test with MIN_M2TS_SIZE=800.

I want to avoid any impression of rules violation or copyright infringement, so I'd rather not exchange any files. I'll pick up the disc in the next couple of days.

Is the additional material in the root folder, or in another folder? I just looked at the code, and it appears I'm not excluding information in the root (I'll fix that) but other folders are excluded.

It looks like it's still not properly excluding content in top-level directories alongside BDMV & CERTIFICATE.

Here's how I determined this: I started a backup to BD25 of The Thirteenth Floor, saw that it was proceeding as normal after a minute or so, and aborted. I created a subfolder in the root of the rip, alongside BDMV and CERTIFICATE, labled "PS3 UPDATE" and just dumped a ~20GB file into it. I restarted BD-RB, pointed it to a different directory for another rip, then back to The Thirteenth Floor rip directory to make sure it rescanned it, and started the backup: it failed quickly, reporting that there wasn't enough room.

[A.Fenderson]

Oh. The way you worded it I thought you were meaning individual files in the root directory (which I didn't test), and not files in a direct subdirectory of root. If that makes sense. :-)

[jdobbs]

Oh. The way you worded it I thought you were meaning individual files in the root directory (which I didn't test), and not files in a direct subdirectory of root. If that makes sense. :-) That is what I meant. I checked it. Files that are not directly in the root are not included. Only individual files in the root are a problem -- but I'll test it again.

Are you positive you have BDMV_CERT_ONLY=1 set in the config file?

[Edit] Ok... I did the testing. It works correctly. Even the files in the root are ignored when BDMV_CERT_ONLY=1 is set. So I have to assume you are mistaken in your testing. Maybe you misspelled it in the config file...

[had-z]

I found a new bug in the dark knight!, is not related with the encode, everything is ok.

The bug is: when the feature "play movie with focus points" is ON and the disc icon appears on the left corner, after press the enter button (to view the behind the scenes stuff of that scene) is played the BTS of another scene...

ie: when i press the enter button in the movie when the joker detonates the hospital a BTS of how they filmed IMAX scenes will play.

Update: The bug still exist in the latest beta, but now when the enter button is pressed, a BTS of another scene is displayed (different scene is displaye when the backup is done with the 0.37.07 beta)

[jdobbs]

Update: The bug still exist in the latest beta, but now when the enter button is pressed, a BTS of another scene is displayed (different scene is displaye when the backup is done with the 0.37.07 beta)From the first post of this thread:If you decide to download and test -- please post any errors you find in this thread. Don't push bug resolution or keep asking for a fix. I will get to the reported bugs, but only when I can find the time.

Sorry Jdobbs I tought the post reporting the bug was forbidden (because nobody comented it).

Many thanks for your work!

Hello again :)

I'm having trouble with rebuilding Matrix Revolutions to BD25. The resulting disk is too large (25.670.975.488 Bytes) for a BD25.

What can I do here? I attached the log.

What can I do here? I attached the log. I'll run a test on it and see how it sizes for me.

[The_Unknown]

Great, thanks!! I just make a test run with a custom lower size.

[jdobbs]

Great, thanks!! I just make a test run with a custom lower size. The default setting is 23500. Start from there and go down.

[The_Unknown]

At the moment I do 23400. One thing I noticed is, that BD-RB doesn't reencode the main movie; only the other ones. Which is of course great, because no quality is lost. And also I have to say this is the first disk where I'm experiencing size problems.

Edit: Now with 23400 MB it encodes the main movie, so now I think it will be ok in size. But I noticed, that an audio track called "(2nd) AC3 Plus, Stereo, English" can be deactivated :( Why can't I deactivate that track, so it could fit the disk??

This is the secondary audio track for the PiP extra on the disc. It will not take up much space. :cool:
If you want more precise sizing, set BD-RB to two pass mode. :)

BD-RB will recognize that it has changed and reset it back to include that track when you start it again.

[The_Unknown]

OK, I just converted to 23400 MB and now it fits onto the disk (with encoding the main movie). What did your tests show, jdobbs? Can you guess, where the problem is?

[The_Unknown]

ok, no problem ;) Thanks a lot!!

Converting Little Fockers to movie only DVD-5. I tried both the full source and the movie only BD25. Both times it showed "WARNING: Failed to integrate DVD subtitle" in the log. The weird thing is that the subtitles are working in the DVD5. The movie only BD25 worked fine.

My VID_00132.avs plays back perfectly with MPC, as does the original .m2ts. It is a 47 second long clip, which is an extra as to how the film was made. It starts out looking like the real clip, and then resizes to a PiP with the director explaining the scene.

EDIT:
Just some info:
If I set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250, this VID_00132 is removed from the to be encoded list. This is a multi-m2ts movie, with three playlists. This VID_00132 is part of only one playlist. If I check the contents of this playlist with BDInfo, it shows 2 MPEG-4, AVC, 1080P clips for the several .m2ts files of this playlist. It is the same as VID_00131, but with this additional footage of how the scene was made. There are several of these double 1080P video within one m2ts file for this movie, it's just VID_00132 came up first in the to be reencoded list, causing the failure. To which playlists are you referring? I just brought this disc up in BD-Edit, and I can't find a playlist that references 00132.M2TS...

[Capsbackup]

To which playlists are you referring? I just brought this disc up in BD-Edit, and I can't find a playlist that references 00132.M2TS...

My Die Another Day has 3 playlists. BDInfo shows 00001.mpls and 00002.mpls are identical, and 00099.mpls is the one that has 00132.m2ts(1).
Playlist 00099.mpls shows 02:12:34, just as the other two playlists. However, the order for .m2ts files is: 00130.m2ts, 00131.m2ts, 00132.m2ts(1). Same for 00135.m2ts(1), 00138.m2ts(1), 00141.m2ts(1), etc...
I have never seen this parantheses(1) before after the .m2ts. :confused:
It also shows 2 - 1080P/ 23.976fps / 16:9 / High Profile 4.1. The second one listed just below the first has : MPEG-4 AVC Video (1). Again this parantheses(1)! :confused:

EDIT:
I did not use BD-Edit, but BDInfo v.0.5.6
Does your disc have a 00132.m2ts file?
When 00132.m2ts is played, which is 47 seconds long, it starts as a fight with Bond fighting a guy on the hovercraft, but after 4 seconds, the fight seen is transitioned to a PiP in the left corner of the screen, and the "about the scene" director is now the full screen picture, and he begins discussing the making of. :p

It is an alternate angle for 00131 in that playlist (00099). I'd guess that's what the parens are indicating in BDInfo (I'm not familiar with that program).

I'm able to repeat the error -- and it's because BD-RB thinks it isn't referenced. There must be some error in the code that isn't catching that angle. I'll find it and fix it tomorrow.

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/BDInfo Ok. I fixed it for the next release. This was really an odd one. The reason it wasn't being caught properly is because that M2TS's parent reference (00131) had already been detected in the first playlist without any angles - meaning it is acting as both a non-angled video stream (in one playlist) and as a stream with an alternate angle (in another playlist). I've never seen that before. My code was making the assumption that a stream with angles would always be a stream with angles... and wasn't catching the alternate angles in the second referencing MPLS (00099).

Anyway, I had to rewrite my angle detection and handler code so it accounted for both possibilities.

[Capsbackup]

Ok. I fixed it for the next release.

That was fast!! :) Excellent news.
I would have thought the numerous authoring possibilities would be about discovered by now, but that is wishful thinking I guess. :p
I'll just keep on testing and posting! :thanks:

An automatic quality standard settings run of BD Rebuilder to a DVD9 seems to crash the system (instantly halts to shutting off, no reset, no error message etc etc.)

I'm running an I7-920 with 6gb of ram, everything stock with more than necessary cooling. I've regularly run 3 copies of wow simultaneously, which is more than a workout for the system too, and in an abundance of caution, ran 3 passes of memtest86. No issues.

Only BD-rebuilder seems to have a problem and only on pass 2.. 4 times, 2 different disks (fringe:S1 and the original Avatar disc, ripped through AnyDVD HD for CloneDrive, as per instructions.)

When I played with some more custom settings (DVD5, movie only and iirc 'Good' quality,) and didn't have any issue.

I'm a bit lost as to where to start troubleshooting.

its been a few weeks since i last used bdrb, since then there has been quite a few windows security updates and a service pack, hope that hasnt broke my system. Im using window 7 32bit.



EDIT: reinstalled avisynth. now she's backup (no pun) and running :)

[nick9461]

ran 3 passes of memtest86. No issues.

I would suggest running Intelburn Test overnight at the highest setting. I have had to underclock some off the shelf computers when I use the x264 encoder.

[bassnut]

Your system is not 100% stable download some tool like Prime96 and run a torture test (blend) on it for at least 12+ hours(min). If it fails you will have to figure it out as to what is causing it .... heat, incompatible ram / bad ram or ram timings. Here is a link to Overclock net where you can get either the 32 or 64 bit versions at the bottom of the very first post.

Thanks.. gonna try both see if I can get the machine to flinch on one of these.

[proxpilot]

anyone else getting errors with this new update? i keep getting

BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2603 scan directory() 00063 2603

then it says
BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2705 BuildTreeList() 00009 2705

then another that says correct EP Data. then it tells me my files are'nt blu ray files.
anyone know whats up?

also when i use "movie only" option it keeps doing the interactive movie, not the main movie.

[KeVe1983]

Hey jdobbs i've a little question.

Is it now possible to reencode a 2D/3D BD50 to BD25?
It is a 2D+3D Bluray, so it contains the Movie in 2D and in 3D.

Shrek, or the new Tron Legacy for example.

I realize you are / have fixed this for the next release, but just for testing, I set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=900, and ran this on BD-RBV03708. None of the files that caused a problem were in the to re-encode list. So BD-RB completed successfully and I burned to BD-RE for testing this MI6 Datastream extra. The Blu-ray plays back fine, but these extras video are never displayed, only the audio file and regular movie files are played back. Where this "about the scene" should play just after the pop-up subtitle message " Incoming Video Transmission ", it does not on my S360. The original Blu-Ray does work properly on these scenes though.
Have you tried yours, after burning to BD-RE?
Will this new release correct this?
Though my backup did not touch / reencode these files, something still did not work properly, which hopefully will be included as part of your fix.:cool:

I can see how that might be a problem, though. You are encoding part of a stream but not some of the alternate angles. Whenever BD-RB decides any part of a stream has to be encoded, is forces the other parts (multipart or angled) to be encoded also -- it just happens in this case that it didn't see it as an alternate angle. So its probable that my output will work even if yours didn't.

That does make sense. Let me know how your results turn out.
I will hold onto this rip and test it with your next release, and let you know my results. :)

[proxpilot]

anyone else getting errors with this new update? i keep getting

BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2603 scan directory() 00063 2603

then it says
BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2705 BuildTreeList() 00009 2705

then another that says correct EP Data. then it tells me my files are'nt blu ray files.
anyone know whats up?

also when i use "movie only" option it keeps doing the interactive movie, not the main movie.

anyone know anything about any of these issues ? i haven't changed anything updated to the new version like i always do.

[jdobbs]

The second two errors are probably caused by the first. The first error is "bad record number" and is most likely caused by a corrupt CLPI file.

Hi all,

Been trying the product for a few weeks and just love it so far. The only issue(s) I've had are when I try to rebuild a BR to a DVD-5. So far, I've only tried with special features/extras as I wanted to test from a quality standpoint, but there was a bonus "movie" on the Blow Out BR that I wanted to rip to DVD. Attached is the log file...appears to have worked fine until it got to the audio portion.

Thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help!

jdobbs, congrats on the new subtitle support for BD --> DVD conversion.

I have not been able to get the subtitles to convert to the white color. They always come out yellow. In my HIDDENOPTS.TXT I modified it as such:
DVD_SUB_COLOR=1 n = 0/1/2 - 0=Yellow subtitles (default), 1=White subtitles, 2=Green subtitles

BTW, I suggest setting white to the default color. Reason being that movies always come with white subtitles. I can't remember the last time I saw a movie with yellow subtitles.

I've changed the default to white for the next release. If you add that entry (DVD_SUB_COLOR=1) to the INI file it will make them white -- I've done it myself. In fact all I did to make it default white was to make "1" the value when none was present.

You don't modify it in HIDDENOPTS.TXT that's just an information file. You have to add that entry to the BDREBUILDER.INI file in the BD-RB installation folder.

Hello again :)

I'm having trouble with rebuilding Matrix Revolutions to BD25. The resulting disk is too large (25.670.975.488 Bytes) for a BD25.

What can I do here? I attached the log. I tested "Matrix Revolutions" and it came out exactly as it should. I haven't seen your logs, so I'm not sure what settings you're using. Can you post your INI file?

[Capsbackup]

I can see how that might be a problem, though. You are encoding part of a stream but not some of the alternate angles.

So its probable that my output will work even if yours didn't.

Your suspicion proved correct! :p After I reencoded those 16 .m2ts files that were previously skipped by setting MIN_M2TS_SIZE=900, and creatively re-integrated them into my BD-RB backup that was not working, and burned to BD-RE for playback on my S360, this angle now works properly. :)

[yahknow1]

Hi, wonderful program jdobbs, thanks for your hard work! I've used it for a while now without any problems until now. I just tried to rebuild "American Gangster" and I'm getting a disc that just plays blank with no audio or video?

Hmm, I was all set to post the log file but it seems its too large? which log file do I post and where is it located?

[The_Unknown]

I tested "Matrix Revolutions" and it came out exactly as it should. I haven't seen your logs, so I'm not sure what settings you're using. Can you post your INI file?
I posted the logs in my post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1497915#post1497915).

If you didn't mean that, I attached my configuration INI.

Edit: I tried it once again and the result you can see in "toomuch.png" in the attachment :(

Do you have any idea?

[jakobkraft]

Blows DVDFab out of the water in terms of sheer quality. Have successfully backed-up six BD movies--Full back-ups including menus and extras. Don't know about the quality on a DVD-5 or DVD-9 as I only backup to 25gb discs, since they're (finally) quite affordable. And I feel backing up a Blu ray movie to a DVD is asking too much of any program.

Anyway, keep up the fantastic work:)

Hi !

Excuse for my poor English..

So, I had to take the latest version of BDR, and during the second pass, x264-64 craches. I tested 3 differents movies : same bugs...
With the another old releases, I've never had any problem !

Why this last release crach at the second pass with x264-64 ?

@Jorka57

If X264 is crashing it means your system isn't stable. If you are overclocked, slow it down slightly. You might also check memory, etc and heat using hardware monitoring software. Many people who overclock think that running Prime95 or some other package will catch issues -- but X264 is a much more demanding test.
Why this last release crach at the second pass with x264-64 ? I don't know what "crach" means...

BD-RB only uses X264-64.exe if you have "Use LAVF" selected in the SETUP. If you change that setting between passes it might also cause issues.

[max4]

Hello
We'll see if somebody can give solution to this for me.

When I encode a bluray with menus bd java to carve + in DVD R DL, if the size is major of 7.96 GB they can reproduce and they are perfect, but the moment that he is a inferior, they no longer can neither reproducing in the PC, neither in the player of bluray.

Does any way exist of solving this and deceiving the imgburn, to the powerdvd, or player of bluray, that is older of 7.96 GB?

I have done a lot of proofs but for the moment, I have not gotten anything

Thanks from the start for help

ok I understand the overclock problem. But I tried the v. 0.37.0.5 now by changing the system time and is running without bug.
When I'll come back to the last release of BDR, second pass crash...
The "Use LAVF" option is always activated.
Why with this release I must decrease my CPU speed ?

John It's still a problem -- and you're taking chances. I can only tell you that there are lots and lots of other people running the new version without X264 crashes and I'd recommend you adjust your overclock. But that choice is yours.

I get these reports every year as the spring/summer rolls in and ambient temperatures rise. It was the same with DVD-RB and CCE.

@jdobbs

I rubbed my eyes and looked a second time - V.0.37.08 (Beta) shows log times exactly one hour earlier than actual (according to all PC clocks and clocks throughout the house)... It's getting the time via system calls -- so your operating system must also be off by an hour.

I went back to r3785 it works fine.

[Ch3vr0n]

Dont come crying if it fails on that one too. The only correct and recommended version is the one linked at the start being r3326

[soneca]

I know that Ch3vr0n, so I will not complain if it fails.:cool:
The problem is that many of us use ffdshow for other things and not always the old version is recommended.

@jdobbs: What about Matrix Revolutions? Don't you have any brainwave? What does that mean? Either you're being a smart-ass or you're having trouble with English... My answer will depend upon which is true.

Mhm, I think I messed up some words in English ;)

I just wanted to ask, whether you have an idea for why Matrix Revolutions gets too large.

I didn't mean to offend you, I highly appreciate your excellent work!! ;)

I didn't mean to offend you, I highly appreciate your excellent work!! ;) No big deal. Saying I have no "brainwave" kind of interprets to saying I'm "brain-dead" on this end. :) I looked at your settings -- and they don't look unusual at all. Since the version I have doesn't have German as a language and has 10 languages present where yours only has 7, I assume it is different than yours.

I looked at your INF file and all the M2TS files look like they've resized correctly except this one:

[00008]
AUDIO=0010001
PGS=11111111110000000000000000

USE_ORIGINAL=1
NSTART=27000000
NEND=376107840
NSIZE=17139953664
FLINK=0
MLINK=0

Looking at your log I see this:

- [20:11:10] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00008]
- [20:20:10] Reencoding: VID_00008 (5 of 38)
- [20:20:10] Reencoding secondary video [TRK_02]

- [20:46:36] Reencoding: VID_00011 (6 of 38)
- [20:46:36] Collecting video information

That's the only file that didn't reencode. The question is: Why did it keep the original video when it is obviously larger than the target?

Keeping the original put that segment a little over 1GB larger than it should have -- which is pretty significant. I'll rerun mine again and see how that file comes out...

Aloha again jdobbs. I hope you are doing well. Just thought I'd let you know that Blu-ray to DVD-5 encodes do not have synched audio & video (e.g., action occurs first followed by sound, lips then words, etc). I am using version v0.37.08 and I do select in Setings: Target size BD-5 (DVD-5) in Output Options.

Some recent titles I have tried are: Skyline, 127 Hours, & Jackass 3. Fyi, I have not tried B-r to DVD-9.

Hope this info helps. Mahalo again for all you do jdobbs. :thanks:

The Matrix Revolutions has a glitch that may or may not cause issues in BD-RB. http://www.google.com.au/#sclient=psy&hl=en&source=hp&q=matrix+revolutions+blu-ray+glitch&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&pbx=1&fp=6ed37e06fcb306d6

Check http://www.amazon.com/Warner-Replacement-Program-Revolutions-Blu-ray/forum/FxGO7XUQHWRI7/Tx2WPZOZIRDYWRR/1?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B000OPPBEQ

If the error is in the source, and the glitch itself was encoded, then that wouldn't cause BD-RB any issues, but if the .m2ts is corrupt, then that might be a different story.

I have updated the first post of this thread with an updated version of BD-RB (v0.38.02). Changes for this release:- Changed the specified --vbv-maxrate on BD-25
backups to 32000 -- this has been reported to
eliminate certain buffering issues. (v0.38.2)
- Corrected an error in which a stream that was
referenced as non-angled in one MPLS was not
being correctly updated if referenced later as
an angle.
- Fixed an issue in which problems with a single
DVD subtitle could cause the entire job to fail.
- Changed the default color for ALTERNATE/DVD
subtitles to white and shades of gray.
- Modified IGS checks to prevent any part of the
feature cannot be excluded from reencoding.
- Updated the DVD subtitle logic to handle certain
types of graphic PGSs. This should also prevent
errors in multiplexing those PGSs.
- Corrected an error in which DVD subtitles were
not synched properly when ALTERNATE_PAL was in
effect.
- Added code to prevent the combination of primary
and secondary (PiP) video streams from exceeding
the BD total video limit.
- Added additional checks to reduce vbv-maxrate if
the combined total bitrate of all audio would
put it above blu-ray maximums.
- Corrected an issue in which ALTERNATE movie-only
output sizing could be dramatically off when
using the two-pass target size selection.
- Updated the included version of DVDAUTHOR to
version 7.0. This corrects "bad image" errors
on certain types of graphic PGSs that were not
supported in the previous version.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1995).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1995).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[shon3i]

- Added additional checks to reduce vbv-maxrate if
the combined total bitrate of all audio would
put it above blu-ray maximums.

Be careful about this, since STD delay need to be <=1 sec. So vbv-maxrate should be never higher than vbv-buffersize.

@jdobbs: just an update for my HP5 issue. I was able to START the backup but not finish it. x264 crashed (my rig isnt overclocked) on stream VID_00033 wich is indicated as follows: VC-1, 1080i 29.97**, 587.15MB I suppose that pgs fix or whatever it was doenst work yet for full disc mode ?

The 720p .m2ts source file plays the sups correctly.

@jdobbs: just an update for my HP5 issue. I was able to START the backup but not finish it. x264 crashed (my rig isnt overclocked) on stream VID_00033 wich is indicated as follows: VC-1, 1080i 29.97**, 587.15MB I suppose that pgs fix or whatever it was doenst work yet for full disc mode ? Well it fixed it on mine -- I've done that disc about 10 times in testing.

I can't imagine why it would act differently on yours. Notice that the source size is different on yours than it is on mine.

I indeed think the two discs are incomparable. Yours is too big to keep the main track unencoded.

I loaded your latest release and give it a try in there. If it doesn't work here, I'll manually set it to 23400 MB to force a reencode.

[Ch3vr0n]

it doesnt happen to be an ITVC source does it. Its the only one that isnt listed with a * next to the video name (like all the others) but with a ** after the framerate.

[steveg32]

Can you post your config file (INI)? I've done many and am not seeing any sync issues.

Here is the INI B-r to DVD-9 using Jackass 3. Results are same as B-r to DVD-5. Audio & video are not synched. :thanks:

Be careful about this, since STD delay need to be <=1 sec. So vbv-maxrate should be never higher than vbv-buffersize.

According to...you (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533)...you have that exactly backwards. :)

Edit: jdobbs, may I ask what --vbv-maxrate was previously set to (30000?)? I promise not to start a debate over this here in the bug thread, just wondering for informational and learning purposes. Thanks.

[shon3i]

OMG, you read my mind. I think on that but i wrote bakwards :D. Yes i mean buffer newer be higher than maxrate.

previous maxrate is set to 35000.

Thanks. it was previously set to 35000. Buffering was 30000 (and still is). I usually like to set it somewhere above .5 seconds and below 1 second. It is now .94 seconds. I'll probably lower it a little for the next release.

[jdobbs]

OMG, you read my mind. I think on that but i wrote bakwards :D. Yes i mean buffer newer be higher than maxrate.

previous maxrate is set to 35000. I knew what you meant. You don't want to exceed 1 second of buffering.

[Ch3vr0n]

Update: Disabling "IVTC sources" didnt work. Trying without LAVF now

** edit ** failed aswell. Though this time i did get a few seconds further and saw the message "converting field based ..." after that x264 crashed again.

RE:

Aloha again jdobbs. I hope you are doing well. Just thought I'd let you know that Blu-ray to DVD-5 encodes do not have synched audio & video (e.g., action occurs first followed by sound, lips then words, etc). I am using version v0.37.08 and I do select in Setings: Target size BD-5 (DVD-5) in Output Options.

Some recent titles I have tried are: Skyline, 127 Hours, & Jackass 3. Fyi, I have not tried B-r to DVD-9.

Hope this info helps. Mahalo again for all you do jdobbs. :thanks:

Did you already have a chance to look into the 720p sup time code issue (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1500854#post1500854) (wrong stop times as it looks)? I wonder if the problem is with my system only.

I know I looked at it -- but it was a while back and I can't remember now what I found.

I'm trying to output to a MKV container but it always fails on the muxing task. I see mkvmerge in the BD-Rebuilder directory. See log for error. It has always done this for even past versions. I'm at a loss without additional details from the log file to find out why it's failing.

This is my first post so be gentle. I have spent over 7 hours looking through posts to try to find the answer to a problem I am having. I have no problem using BD-Rebuilder to make backups of my BluRay discs to BD 25 discs, but when I make a DVD5 or DVD9 the sound is out of sync with the video by 1 second. I have tried everything I can think of including changing the video timing in ffdshow, with no sucess. I could give (and will it need) more details. I have hand this problem on 8 diffrent movies, on 3 diffrent computers. Most of the post information is way over my head, but if you got some ideas I would appreciate it and I will not take up a lot of your time or space.

JD Can you tell me what disc is causing the problem and post the contents of the .INI file so I can try to repeat it? Also please post the output from INSPECT.EXE. I've gotten enough of these reports to know it is an issue -- but I haven't been able to repeat it so I can figure out what is unique about the discs that cause it.

Also, are you in an NTSC or PAL country?

I wonder if the problem is with my system only.I ran some tests and have found this issue. It appears that the "End of Display" segment on the clearing portion of the subtitle display in the example you gave me isn't using the same time as the "Window Defiinition Segment" for that action. 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.

Glad you found and fixed it. Thanks :)

Hello jdobbs,

Would you mind if I sent you my disc of Heartbreak Ridge (BD), so you can test it with your set-up? You can keep the disc. I'm just interested to see if you have the same audio problem as me. If not, I'll keep looking at my system. It still only happens with Heartbreak Ridge (BD).

Thanks.

Good idea KT. Reminds me that a couple of shareware authors I know of have published Amazon wishlists to make it easy for folks who want to thank them for their efforts.

I know jdobbs that you like cash just fine (!) i.e. PayPal but here's another idea for you: to list discs or gizmos you'd like but wouldn't otherwise spend your own money on (including discs of movies you might dislike but wanna test for example!). Maybe this would even work for .uk or .fr etc Amazon sites. Just a thought...

[jdobbs]

@steveg32

I picked up SKYLINE (since that's one of the discs you reported as having sync issues). I've loaded your INI into my system and will run it today. I'll report the results.

I got a couple of donations on Sunday so I've ordered Heartbreak Ridge (couldn't find it locally). I should be able to test it in a couple days. Can you post your .INI file? I have to make sure I'm using the same setup as you so I can repeat your issue.

I appreciate your offer -- but honestly I'd rather work with donations and make my own choices as to when, where, and what discs I test. Thanks, though. :)

Just for info - I have made a number of DVD5s from source BDs using BD-Rebuilder and not experienced any issues with audio sync. I generally include 1 audio track and 1 subtitle, and leave BD-RB at "high priority" and quality at "highest". Everything else is pretty much left at whatever defaults the install processes sets. My source is ripped by DVDFab.
