BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[klas]

@klas

Hi!

Based on how long it apparently takes your system to perform the conversion and the symptoms you've described, I'd speculate that your system is overheating.l..

Now with BD rebuilder in second pass the temperature is 38 ºC. I think ist good. But this is not the question. The question is to begin in auther point near the final of encode.

thanks

That would be ridiculous.

If BDRB has got to the point where encoding has finished and it is rebuilding then you can carry on from there. If encoding has failed it would be absurd to try and rebuild the resulting rubbish and burn it.

That is what you mean?

If you mean to simply carry on encoding from where it failed then again, that's just going to lead to trouble since there is obviously a problem in your computer (dodgy RAM\over heating CPU\not overclocked properly with enough volts\etc).

It would just mean more trouble for jdobbs when the problem lies solely with the incompetence\foresight of the end user.

Not going to happen, besides that BDRB is basically a front end for some of the process - it uses x264 for encoding. You should ask the authors of that program for a simple way to carry on encoding so it can be implemented but they will just laugh at you for the reasons I've given above.

No disrespect but what you're asking isn't sensible in a practical sense even though it sounds nice.

[Furiousflea]

Can you notice a difference? Sure you can, but NOT when you are watching and listening. The average person cannot in this context. When I watch a movie, I notice no difference between any of the lossless stuff or simple AC3, nobody I know can. HOWEVER, if I listen to a DVD-A, when I am only listening (and others as well), then yes, I can easily hear the difference. The human brain has too much to do to notice a difference when using the auditory and visual senses at the same time.

OT but I'd disagree with the thing about when you're watching it being harder to hear the difference or impossible as you say. For me watching a video makes the quality of the sound more apparent...hey ho each to their own.

I've got crap hearing BTW and frequently ask people to repeat what they say. I'd go the other way and say that people with crappy hearing are more likely to notice the difference because the sound is clearer it's easier to feel defenition...

Thanks for your response so stupid. I mean not when a failed encode by the x264 problem but when something external or voluntarily interrupts the process.
I do not understand because my view is worse than yours when I'm sure there are many people with slower CPU would agree with me.

Thanks and do not respond to not contribute anything

Thanks and do not respond to not contribute anythingThe problem is that X264 would have to pick up where it left off -- and when a crash occurs it wouldn't have anything to work with (e.g. previous frame information, etc). It also couldn't depend on the information that had been already written.

For a "user abort", it may be different if there were some X264 method for stopping/restarting -- but BD Rebuilder currently has to kill the process, which to X264 would still be essentially a "crash". There are some O/S tricks for pausing processes, I might be able to do that.

I have been using BD-RB successfully since January with no real probs. I have just dowloaded the latest version and every disc I create comes up with an 'invalid disc' error when I try to play on the PS3. It recognises the disc and looks like its going to play, but I get the error message after about 10 secs.
I tried it with Frost/ Nixon Full backup and movie only, My Best Friends Girl full backup anf Yes Man full backup, all with the same results.
I know its not my burner as 25GB ISOs from net work fine and I know its not the PS3 as previous BD-RB discs work fine.
The only other variable I suppose is AnyDVD but the process seems to work fine.

I have made a few BD rebuilds. I have noticed the volume is much louder than the original after down converting HD audio to AC3. I am thinking some sort of gain is applied somewhere? Is it possible to a have the same level of volume as the original after rebuild ?

Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year to all!In the "[Options]" area of the INI file set:

AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1

The default is 1.2 (20% increase in gain).

In the "[Options]" area of the INI file set:

Thanks, jdobbs. Just out of curiosity, any reason for the 20 % increase in gain in default mode ?

[coljben]

have used this to make 25gb blu ray disks from larger disks with no problems so far

[jdobbs]

Thanks, jdobbs. Just out of curiosity, any reason for the 20 % increase in gain in default mode ? The majority of Blu-rays seem to have too low a sound level for me -- so I boosted it as the default. I know it is advertised as wider dynamic range... but to me it's just low volume.

[Chiamos]

The majority of Blu-rays seem to have too low a sound level for me -- so I boosted it as the default. I know it is advertised as wider dynamic range... but to me it's just low volume.

Thanks for the boost, as it also seems to me that most have low volume, but except for those that have the crisp and higher volume sound of a LPCM track. :D

[DVDIT]

The majority of Blu-rays seem to have too low a sound level for me -- so I boosted it as the default. I know it is advertised as wider dynamic range... but to me it's just low volume.

Yes, that is true. Especially Dolby True HD tracks. I will set AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1.1 for a 10 % and see. The 20% boost, along
with audyssey dynamic EQ enabled in my AV processor, makes it a bit too loud for me.

Hi all
For a while ive had a few problems with some blurays. All the Torchwood discs, Earth D1, Natures Great Events... and very recently Terminator Sarah Conner Season2 Disc5. Most of those discs are BBC releases. The only common thing about them is they have 1080i video in them. This is what i got with the fifth disc of Terminator

ThanksAny time you see the "Encode failed" it is almost a sure thing that you don't have FFDSHOW configured properly. In XP make sure you either have WMV11 installed and selected "disabled" for VC-1 decoding or (alternatively) you can select "wmv9" as the default decoder for VC-1. Also -- make sure H.264/AVC uses "libavcodec".

Ensure you have downloaded and are using the versions of FFDSHOW and HAALI linked in the first post of this thread. People sometimes have a tendency to update to newer untested versions that have bugs that cause encode issues.

I just checked my settings and I had ffmpeg-mt for H.264/AVC on two computers I use, and changed it to libavcodec just now even though I have never experienced any issues albeit I only did 6 backups so far with whole disc backup failing to play on all my three blu-ray players.
What decoder is to be selected for MPEG2? libmpeg2 is selected by default now. Thanks.

[MB2]

Thanks for the reply, i will check. Although it does happen in 2 different pcs using windows 7 (and previously Vista). Will check tho as i always use the links you provide for programs etc.

What decoder is to be selected for MPEG2? libmpeg2 is selected by default now. Thanks.ffmpeg-mt should be okay as well -- I believe that's a multi-threaded codec, so it should theoretically be a little faster on multicore computers. But I tested it on my quad-core and it ran almost exactly the same speed as libavcodec.

ffmpeg-mt should be fine for MPEG-2.

The only issues I usually see reported are with VC-1. The exception would be when nothing is selected for AVC or MPEG-2.

I have the same problem with the Pirates of Caribbean (all movies). Just see, and I have the FFDSHOW configured properly like you said.

You could try installing just the Microsoft VC-1 codec pack. I'd suggest using BD_Info to verify the movie uses VC-1 and if it does, try what fixed the same issue for me on XP Pro SP3.
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1356510&postcount=6433

After installing the VC-1 codecs from the MSDN link, I can set ffdshow VC-1 to disabled or WMV9 and both settings work. I can also play m2ts files using Windows Media Player 10.

New potential problem??

Have been noticing that playback of my backed up movies, compressed from up to 50 gig to 25 gig, seem that the dark scenes are really dark with no detail. Am playing on Panny 58V10 via Panny bd60 player. Is it me or should I be adjusting settings when compressing? Am trying to avoid changing settings on player or TV at this point.

Anyone else notice this problem??

TIA

TIAI haven't. I had an issue many versions ago where there was some blockiness in dark areas (when using "Fastest" encode). But that went away with X264 updates.

Find some black level calibration images on one of your DVDs (any THX dvd has them) and make certain your player and TV are on the same page. ;)

Make sure you blacks are not crushed. Use a calibration disc to set your black level to the correct level.

Hi,

I've been using BD Rebuilder for a few months now, but with the dutch retail of Pinocchio I came across an error that I haven't seen in the forum.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.31.06). The changes for this release are:- Modified the "High Speed Option (BD-25)" setting so
that it now includes b-frames in its output.
- Default CRF values for BD-5/9/25 under "Quick Encode"
mode has changed to 30/25/22 to approximate quality on
extras. They can, of course, be overridden using the
QUICK_CRF=nn hidden command.
- Corrected an error in which the overall status bar was
not being updated correctly when one-pass ABR mode was
selected.
- Added additional error checks and reporting following
a failed encode.
- Corrected an error in which updated MPLS files were
not being properly copied to the BACKUP\PLAYLIST
directory.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1376 w/nal-hrd patch).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Am I correct in understanding that v.0.31.06 (beta) does not fix the "HD_Compliant"/x264 issue that arose several versions ago?

Hi all
For a while ive had a few problems with some blurays. All the Torchwood discs, Earth D1, Natures Great Events... and very recently Terminator Sarah Conner Season2 Disc5. Most of those discs are BBC releases. The only common thing about them is they have 1080i video in them. This is what i got with the fifth disc of Terminator

Any ideas??? Only the 3rd video (in the terminator disc) is 1080i - the rest are 1080p.
Thanks Just thought I'd update you on this. I'd done "EARTH" before and it worked fine. I just did it again. I'm confused about "1080i" reference though -- all tracks on EARTH are 1080p.

[Choppermike]

It seems likle something has changed. I've been able to back up about 15 movies to BD5 and about 2 updates ago things stopped working. I thought I'd give things another try so I downloaded 31.06 and ffdshow again. made sure Mpeg2 was set and VC1 and problems again. This is what I'm getting now. Any Ideas how to get bdrebuilder working again? Maybe a setting somewhere got changed but I can't find it.

:thanks: My guess would be that at the time it stopped working you had installed some other software (a codec pack perhaps) that set the DirectShow default to something other than FFDSHOW for AVC -- you'll note that the clip that failed is neither MPEG2 nor VC-1, but AVC.

It appears the AVC source is failing to be decoded by whatever codec is selected. My suggestion would be that you reinstall FFDSHOW and HAALI again (using the HAALI version linked on the first post of this thread) and make sure AVC is set to be decoded by FFDSHOW using libavcodec.

@jdobbs I'm not sure what error you are referring to. Are you talking about HD DVD encodes?

I'm referring to the discussion in the following thread:

and this post by you, in particular:

There is definitely something wrong with several of the recent versions. I still couldn't encode PIRATES2 with the latest version. I cleaned my system of codec packs and then reinstalled every program you have linked in the first post. It still fails to encode at the same spot, 15.20%. So I went back to an expired version (0.31.01) that gave me the best result, it would fail around 80% before. This time however, it completed successfully after switching to FFMS2.DLL to decode.

[rippn]

I did the whole pirates trilogy with the .05 version with no issue, it's likely your system.

No there isn't. Hundreds of other people are using it and are not experiencing your problem. Your system, very clearly, isn't configured properly for FFDSHOW and HAALI decoding. That's evident in the fact that when using FFMS2 you can encode.

Jdobbs - First of all thanks. Ok so I unistalled ffdshow and reinstalled. Then ripped yet another movie. Still having issues. What would you suggest at this point?

Do you have Media Player Classic installed on your computer? If not, try downloading/installing it. Then open the file VID_00000.AVS in the the working folder by right clicking and selecting "Open With..." -- and choose to use "Media Player Classic".

That way you should be able to see the error message that is causing X264 to crash.

Sorry if this has been asked already - but this thread is so huge that it's really hard to find something...

I rebuilded Star Trek (europ. Version) to BD-25 (full disc). Everything seems to be fine - but when I play the movie I'm not able to turn off subtitels. When I choose "no subs" from the menu I get the (I believe) swedisch subs.

Player is Panasonic BD-35.

Anyone an idea what's wrong?

Thank you.

[raspi2]

Hey jdobbs, been using your BD-Rebuilder a lot lately and love it.

My question is, I was an idiot and forgot to free up some space during the rebuild portion of the process and now have all the .m2ts files, but no complete structure. Is there a way to get the program to just perform the REBUILD portion or am I going to have to start all over with the process again. Pasted below is the log so you can see how far it got:

[10:08:45]PHASE ONE complete
[10:08:46]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started
- [10:08:46] Rebuilding BD file Structure

I had this problem doing the Simpsons movie. At the end I did it without any sub. I never had this problem in about 200 films. It should be possible for you, to encode without subs to solve this problem.

Thanks. I unistalled/reinstalled all the programs before yu had a chance to respond. I backed up that movie without any more issues and working on another one now. My suggestion to everyone who has started to have problems when thing used to work fine would be to do the same.

I'll keep Media Player Classic in my bag of tricks for the next time I need to get you more information. Thanks again for the help and for a great program.

I think that last version 031.06 is very stable.

Good job.
