BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Race Guy]

Speaking of full backup to BD-9's, what makes some "not play" on a standalone?

I started going full to BD-9 for some titles. I ALWAYS test burn to BD-RE to check menu function, then, if it passes, I burn to DL hard copy. The first few I did, the 9's played nice, so I started "building a pile", assuming they were all playable.

Then about a week ago, I tried a 9 I just did & my Oppo spit it out as a bad disc. I then went thru my pile & tried them all, finding 7 that got spit out! Keep in mind, ALL of these ran good on BD-RE. For DL burn, I do 'em slow at 2.4x via ImgBurn & verify the burn.

For the heck of it, I took 3 of 'em to my local big box HDTV place for a test drive. I tried them in a "house brand" player & a Sony. On both of those, they loaded to the main menu, BUT the salesman COULD NOT find a remote for either player, so we couldn't "launch" the disc. I'd assume they would've played though.

So then I take some "bad ones" & some "good ones" to my buddy's house who has a Sony N460. Same deal, the good ones play, the bad ones get "rejected" immediately.

I did notice that flix from WB end up "good", Uni & Sony end up "bad". Can't say this is a "rule" yet, just an observation on the few I've tried.

The only "non-default" thing I do is, I don't select "BD-9" for the output, I go "8150MB custom". Would that make a diff on what gets processed & what doesn't?

Any thoughts, folks? Could there be a hunk of leftover HD Audio at disc launch that the players reject?

See ya!

BD media is different than DVD media. Blue laser vs red laser. Just because the backup is made to fit on a DVD DL disc doesn't change the type of backup. If burned to DVD media, it is AVCHD. To BD media, it's BluRay.
I have tested several full backups that, when burned to DVD media, did not play correctly or without audio for the main movie, but when burned to BD-RE played perfectly.
I do not believe AVCHD supports HD audio, so the backups should have their audio converted to DD AC3.
Following this thread from the beginning, almost one year now, there has not been many consistent full movie backups reported that play to BD5/9 media on standalones. :(

The Oppo identifies all the 9's as "BDMV" during load. The good ones launch, the bad ones get spit out. When a "good one" is playing & I bring up the Oppo's info the disc is identified "BDMV". The Sony 460, calls it a "BD-ROM AVC".

On the audio, one of my "good ones" has the DTS-HD MA "1536k core" & it plays fine on both, so core DTS is apparently OK too.

I'm thinking it's more the "studio's structure" than the media. Something's "non-compliant" at disc load.

I just noticed that Fox is also "good". That's the one with the DTS.

Hi, I'm having problems with Terminator Salvation. I've tried with 3 different versions of BD Rebuilder and am getting different errors with each. With 31.01, it completes, but audio is very badly out of sync (a few seconds off in the later parts of the movie). 31.02 and 31.05 encounter errors.

The BD Rebuilder works perfectly with other titles.

I'm not really sure... I have an original "Blu-ray" title (HDScape Virtual Aquarium), which is actually on a pressed DVD-9, yet behaves just like any other BD disc in all players I tried it on. Yet when I ripped it to hard drive then re-burned it, it failed to play on some, for example my PS3 showed it as a data disc... odd!

The kind of disc (BD-R, BD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-ROM) is detectable by the player. I believe ImgBurn includes options that can make a BD/DVD-R appear to be a BD/DVD-ROM.

[jdobbs]

@jdobbsActually, that (changing booktype) ONLY works with "+" media and ONLY with some drive brands... I've never personally done it. But, I've been meaning to try it on the disc I have that the audio works on BD but not on DVD-9 (exact same image).

Anyone have working settings for Imgburn? I've been trying to burn some of the BD9s I've made with BDRB and they only hang on my standalone player.

I'm using Imgburn 2.5.0.0
My burner is an LG BH08LS20
My standalone BD player is an LG BD390
Media is Verbatim DVD+R DL

All my standalone player does is says Bluray, then error and spits it back out. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.

I have an lg 370 and it won't play bd-9 discs with bd-j. It's fine with other discs but with these it just says 'check disc' and spits it out. The same image on a bd-25 or (-re) is fine. I asked LG if there was a possibility of tweak the firmware to allow this but with no joy.

I asked LG if there was a possibility of tweak the firmware to allow this but with no joy. Unfortunately BD-9 full disc backups are more of a "pleasant extra feature" than an expectation on most players. The only things that should be expected to work on all players would be movie-only AVCHD on BD-5/9 (when the player says it supports AVCHD) and both movie-only and full backups to BD-25.

Virtually all Sony's (except the N460) will play BD-5/9 full backups as well. Others are hit-and-miss. I have a Sony BD-S360 and as of today I have only found two discs (out of several hundred) that won't work as a backup to BD-9 (both of those lose audio -- while the exact same image will burn/work on BD-25).

I would concur with this although I would say that about 90% of the Universal titles I've done lose the audio on bd-9.

[jdobbs]

I would concur with this although I would say that about 90% of the Universal titles I've done lose the audio on bd-9. I think that may be a bit of a stretch. It seems to only happen if there is secondary audio -- are you telling me that 90% of all Universal titles have secondary audio? Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it is the player at fault -- so there may not be much I can do about it. I will try, though.

[slayers]

Son-of-a...

Alright, well, I just tried my 8th disc of the night and it didn't work. Go figure! Argh!

Maybe I'll take it over to BestBuy and put it in one of their players and see if it works... then pick up some Verbatim BD-Rs.

I've also tried WinDVD w/ Bluray Support and it hangs with that as well.

Shouldn't the BDROM at least be able to read the discs?

I have been having issues now with BD-9's now with BD rebuilder and my good old Panasonic DMP-BD10. For What ever reason, the Movie will just hang or freeze at the middle of the movie. (Movie only Disk). Seems like it hangs right at the layer switch. I tested the same burn on my Sony s360 and it plays fine, as well as on my CPU drive (power dvd). Real Strange, because older disks that I have authored from BD rebuilder are fine. Just the new ones with the new versions.. Not sure what the issue is, but It is not a bad burn, because I have been doing the same project now with RIPBOT and it plays fine on my DMP-BD10. (same media stock) I have been pulling my hair out with this one, and the DMP-BD10 is an old player any way.

Jobbs-- could this be a change in the AUTHORING STRUCTURE? with recent changes dating back to early last summer? Not that big of a deal because I am about to trash my DMP-BD10. The last title that I recall failing on is "UP". Re-ran the same job on RIPBOT and it plays fine on my DMP-BD10. Both Disks play on other players (hardware) Just the one the BD-rebuilder spits out fails on my DMP-BD10. (half way through the movie.) This is with Strict AVC Compliance selected. (in the settings).

I can only think of Van Helsing and Inglorious Bastards which I can remember working recently.

Thank you for the quick response (not to mention the fantastic software).

I used the same method of rebuild for all versions (confirming that I want all workspace files cleaned up when BD-rebuilder prompts). I also made sure that mpeg2 is enabled in ffdshow. I'm not sure what else there is to configure in haali or avisynth since none of the guides or issues I've read about really discuss configuring those items.

Could configuration issues cause problems with this one title when others (robably at least 10 others) worked perfectly with the same configuration?

[eTiMaGo]

But I have another problem to report... When converting some music titles, for example the "Elton John 60" Region A disc, when I play the disc, it loads only the menu background, with no interface elements. But if I press the "top menu" button on the remote control, then only does the menu show up.

Bump on this issue? I just tried again with 31.05, same thing...

[chudm]

Bump on this issue? I just tried again with 31.05, same thing...

that issue can be fixed with this setting on the ini:

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=700

[jr08toy]

ok, so I finally got one of my DVD-DL BD9's to work. I switched the backup over to movie only and it works beautifully.

Again, I'm using:
I'm using Imgburn 2.5.0.0 UDF 2.50 burning as BD
My burner is an LG BH08LS20
My standalone BD player is an LG BD390
Media is Verbatim DVD+R DL

Thank you to all for the advice. Must go, Transformers 2 is calling...

@Jdobbs

I just tried encoding The Third Man (US Criterion Version) to BD-25. However, for some reason, one of the special features is a 720x480 mpeg-2 video that's progressive 23.976fps pulldown-flagged to 29.97fps but is detected as pure interlaced by BD Rebuilder. If you can get a hold of the Third Man Blue-Ray, the specific m2ts file is 00008.m2ts . DGIndex properly detects the video as progressive.

Version 0.31.05

EDIT:

Now that I look at it, it does see it as progressive (Has a * at the end) but the .avs script decided to convert it to 29.97fps. Why can't it just keep it at 23.976?

[Revgen]

Pulldown can be done by x264 using the --pulldown 32 parameter. So I can't see why that would be a problem. Unless Tsmuxer is the issue.

Thanks for your work on BD-Rebuilder. I'll wait until you get it solved.

Thanks for your work on BD-Rebuilder. I'll wait until you get it solved. You make it sound a lot simpler than it is. You also have to do inverse telecining when you bring it in (which is often inaccurate) because DirectShowSource() doesn't have any flags to tell it to ignore pulldown -- not to mention the issues associated with hybrid pulldown/interlaced sources.

I'll do it eventually -- its just not a priority yet, especially since the only pulldown sources I've ever seen on Blu-Ray are extras. Right now its just smarter to process it at 29.97fps.

[Denada]

Yes. Codec packs are notorious for changing your settings.

Hmm changed my vc-1 decoding in FFDSHOW setup from disabled to libavcodec, and now I do not get te encoding failed messages anymore..

Changed this to disabled a while ago, didnt give any problems until some of these encoding failed errors showed up on a couple of disks.. anyway.. its working again now...

As far as I know the program does not touch the aspect ratio? What you get out is the same as what you put in (except for the convert to 720p option, I guess, but that should still keep the original AR, no?)

And the m2ts file is certainly there as well.

I'll try 0.31.05 in the meantime.

Thanks.

Try opening the AVS with either Media Player Classic or Microsost Media Player and see if you get an error message.

jdobbs,

I have a question. I'm trying to backup a couple movies that keep giving me the PGS Error or whatever it's called. I looked into it and for the main movie file, there is a 2nd audio track that can not be turned off. Is this 2nd audio track making the audio too large for the file? and if so, how do I disable the track? :confused: Clicking it like the others won't disable it...

Whenever you have time. Thanks!

Gives me the same error when executing x264 from the command line.

DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me (H:\TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00106.AVS, line 2)

I'm gonna have to start another backup. I'll have the exact verbage for you tonight...

It is something about the audio/video being oversize.

please bear with me for not finding an answer to the following question:

which setting can i use in order for rb to NOT reencode audio streams?
i have mono streams in a title and i dont see any point in "upconverting" them.

Thank you for the wonderful program. You have done a great service to many.
I have had several successful encodes with it, and only two failures, one of which is detailed by logs below. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

i have mono streams in a title and i dont see any point in "upconverting" them. In SETUP set "Do not convert DTS to AC3" and "Do not reencode AC3" check boxes.
