BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[colinhunt]

Yes.
That's all I needed to hear, thank you.

We're squabbling here about minutia here that is of virtually zero importance. Leaving a few hundred megabytes intact on a 25GB target is rounding figures.
I wasn't concerned in the slightest about a few hundred megabytes being left intact. I was only flummoxed by the change in the number of listed items and wished to learn if that was desired behaviour or not. And now I know :)

There's a lot of new code there -- and it doesn't hurt to be careful.

I'm still going to look for "Citzen Kane", though. There's a lot of new code there -- and it doesn't hurt to be careful.
Encouraged by your reply, I ran a High-Speed 1-pass Full Backup of Citizen Kane on 0.39.01. (I sure as heck don't know why I didn't think of that before asking you about the difference in number of listed items... d'oh! I must be getting old and senile.)

Even though 0.39.01 lists only the Main movie, the output contains the same number of files (160) as the Full Backup output of 0.38.09. I'm playing the output on PowerDVD 11 right now, and so far everything looks fine; I just got through the menu tree and extra materials. Main feature started OK too... and the pop-up menu appears to be working properly.

edit: Ran through the movie, checked audio and english subs sync, as well as scene selections in scene menu, and all was fine. I guess I got unnecessarily alarmed to see the same amount of stuff listed by Full Backup and Movie-only modes :)

[sosotiit]

first thks for the great soft,

using BDRD to reduce movies to half a BR-D and then use Multiavchd to build menus.

Ideal would be to use custom target size of 11750, for both movies and Movie Only Mode. When I do that, then multiavchd cannot extract thumbnail for chapters, but if I convert with Full Menu then all is nice and Multiavchd can generate chapter menu with thumnails easily.

Problem with later is trying to guess the proper overall size such that the movie is 11750MB.

just a feedback, not sure what a solution could be. is it something specific to do a BD with no menu??

NOte: the chapters are there in the movie only output, only multiavcdhd cannot access the images associated to that specific position it seems.

again thks, soso

@sosotit

Hi! then multiavchd cannot extract thumbnail for chapters, but if I convert with Full Menu then all is nice and Multiavchd can generate chapter menu with thumnails easily.So what bug in BD Rebuilder are you reporting?

[RobertM]

the chapters are there in the movie only output, only multiavcdhd cannot access the images associated to that specific position it seems.

The chapter points are part of the movie -- they are embedded in the m2ts stream. So they will be included whether you select "full backup" or "movie-only backup".

The thumbnails are part of the menu, so they will not be included in a "movie only" re-encode.

[sosotiit]

The chapter points are part of the movie -- they are embedded in the m2ts stream. So they will be included whether you select "full backup" or "movie-only backup".

The thumbnails are part of the menu, so they will not be included in a "movie only" re-encode.

Not the thumbnail of the original disk menu! Multiavchd is simply unable to generate any thumbnail out of a "movie-only" processing. (but it does for one process as full menu)

unsure if it is a bug, or the way it is suppose to be after a movie is process as movie only. Seems strange that it cannot be use in support of authoring, just a fyi .

First of all, much appreciation for the playback quality apparent on all of the compressions levels, even the fastest setting. Movies are every bit as enjoyable as the originals. Every function such as fast forward works flawlessly.

The only problems I have are compressing audio, so I have always opted to keep one of the High res audio streams as is.

This error happens more often than not. Can't figure this one out.

@sonate

Is the audio that you've selected indicated as an HD audio track in BD-RB?
Also, do you have "Keep HD audio" selected?

[sonate]

That track is an AC3 stereo
but in the audio options settings the only two I have checked are
<Do not reencode AC3 (Blu-Ray only)>

and

<use 448Kbs for AC3 encoding>

[sonate]

I understand that, and that is why I have it checked.

Is there any thing in the INI which could interfere or cancel that setting

@sonate

Unfortunately, you're not reporting your settings at the time the error occured. Here is your setting from the log you posted:

...
- Audio Settings: AC3=1 DTS=1 HD=0 Kbs=448
... Which means "Do not reencode AC3" was not checked then. It's hard to debug when I'm not getting accurate information.

[sonate]

OK, let's say I tried so many permutations I mad the mistake of attaching the wrong log. Sorry for the wild goose chase I caused.

I just deleted them all and started from scratch.

Using the AC3=0 DTS=1 HD=0 Kbs=448 settings it doesn't try to reencode the AC3 but aften fails on the DTS-HD recode:

The fault is with PowerDVD9; it will play BD discs but not BD-R discs.

I have that one. I'll run it :) Now I have a reason to run it LOL!

I've made it through all of the smaller streams. I don't expect I'll have a problem. But without your setup information, I don't know.

[setarip_old]

@Gavster

Hi!

Have you checked to make certain that your initial rip of your original, commercial Blu-ray disc has no playback problem(s)?

[jdobbs]

@Gavster

It's very possible that some other software that you've installed is intercepting the VC-1 codec or a supporting function. I'd recommend you deinstall and reinstall BD-RB and all its helper apps.

[sonate]

Are there known issues which make it likely for aften to fail with this source . Should I even be bothering you posting a report and should I just avoid trying to get it to work?

If not, could you steer me to some information which might allow some solution.

Just wanted to say that I recall I backed up a copy of this movie successfully two weeks ago using version 0.38.09
using same audio and auto quality settings. I notice you have 24 av streams while mine had 138. I'm guessing that the newer version auto blanked those which don't appear in the log.

Anyway, I hope you find out what's not working.

[jdobbs]

OK well that's good to know. Is there a link you could steer me to with info so I can myself trouble shoot the issue with "the name of the rose" instead of imposing it on you?

[omegaman7]

Adjustment Bureau worked perfectly for me. Good movie :)

[jdobbs]

OK well that's good to know. Is there a link you could steer me to with info so I can myself trouble shoot the issue with "the name of the rose" instead of imposing it on you?One thing you can do is:

1. Make sure you have "Uncompressed audio" enabled in FFDSHOW's audio configuration. Set it to "All Supported"

2. Open up Media Play Classic (it's included with BD-RB).

3. Open the offending AVS file (AUD_00001_4352.AVS) and see if it plays back.

At least that way you'll know whether it is the decoding or the encoding that is causing the issue.

Also, can you look at the file "00001.track_4352.dts" in Explorer and report the size. I'd like to be sure it demuxed properly.

Yes, the audio config setting is set to "all supported"

Yes the AUD_00001_4352.AVS file plays clearly in WMC

And the size of the file is 1,453,497 KB.

I have also tried a movie only conversion of "true grit" down to a BD-5 if only to see how good the video compression is, but fails at the same place with the same audio conversion settings.

[jdobbs]

Well, then the only other likely possiblity is that AFTEN is missing or has been corrupted somehow. Have you tried reinstalling BD-RB from the zip file? As a test, I just did audio encoding on a disc I have that uses "DTS-HD XLL" with v0.39.01 and it worked fine.

Is there a problem with this hierarchy?
C:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\aften.exe

if you click on aften.exe it very quickly opens and closes a command window. I doubt it is corrupted, but I'm thinking maybe the path by which BD_reb calls aften.exe may not be correct.

Workfiles exists as D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES

[jdobbs]

Go to the DOS command window and paste in this command:

c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\wavi.exe "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" - | c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\aften.exe -v 1 -b 640 -readtoeof 1 - "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\00001.track_4352.AC3"

That should be the same command line that BD-RB is using. Tell me what error you get. Note: even though it rolls over into a couple of lines here -- it should all be on one line.

BD-RB offsets from its execution path. So unless you're calliing BDRB.EXE from somewhere other than "c:\accessories\BD_Reb\" it should be correct.

The only way it ever says "Channels=2" is if you are trying to encode to alternate format or you have have "Use 192Kbs encoding for AC3" selected in setup. It sounds like you're playing with your settings.

I am using the latest version with bd-25 output movie only. I am getting a blue shadow. Most obvious on all the faces. Can anyone help me on what options I should use to correct this problem. It happens on different blu-rays. I have backed up over 200 discs with previous versions. this started with the last 2 or 4 releases.

Also, are you positive it doesn't do it on the source? That isn't something that is likely caused by the reencoding unless you've played with the codec.

[gandhawk]

I have used the same blu-ray player and the same burner for all 200. The last 2 with a problem were Hanna and Star Wars episode IV. The originals played perfectly. Using Anydvd to rip, Imgburn to burn. Have had great successin the past. BD rebuilder has always been great.

OK I read this in the error message generated in the cmd window

Warning: WAV file will be larger than 4 GB.

The original DTS HD is only 1.4 GB That's not the problem. First, because it is not actually being written to a file, it is being sent through stout/stdin to AFTEN, so the warning can be ignored. Second, because the output is supposed to be larger than the source, WAV format (PCM) is not compressed. Also -- at this point the file is no longer DTS-HD, it is standard DTS because TSMUXER has been instructed to extract only the core (the down-to-dts option). DTS-HD would be much, much larger than 1.4GB.

The program is saying it can't write to standard output (stdout). That has to mean something is wrong with your system -- as stdin and stdout have to be supported inherently in the O/S. Have you been doing any fiddling around with your O/S lately, like replacing the standard command programs?

What O/S are you using? Please don't tell me this is a Mac or Linux with an emulator...

@ironleg1963, RE:Originally Posted by ironleg1963

First off, I think it would be better by not ripping your source BD to the desktop, I am no computer tech but seems to me like you are making BD_Rebuilder dig too deep into the directory structure to get the files it needs. I would just put it in the C:\ ROOT like the work folder (or even better on a separate HD). Maybe it's just me but if you want to do a backup why burn to an ISO, and then have to put it in a virtual drive? At any rate BD_Rebuilder is just for making a bluray backup thats intended to be burned, and jdobbs never claimed that it would work with software players, or media boxes. The best test of the end result is always going to be burned to a disk and played in a STB. PowerDVD has always been a beast to play blurays with, I gave up on PowerDVD7 when it would not play HD audio because my monitor didn't have HDCP copy protection, DOH!

[RobertM]

are my settings correct or is it cyberlink powerdvd

PowerDVD (at least the more recent versions, not sure about the older ones) will NOT play BD-R discs. It is designed to play ONLY commercial BD discs, and will not recognize BD-R discs. It doesn't matter what BDRB settings you pick, or the disc size (BD-25, BD-9, BD-5).

That is not true, PowerDVD 11 plays my BD-R discs just fine.

thanks The first questions are: "What type of player do you have?", "Is it a standalone player?", and "Does it support AVCHD?"

I did a quick scan of your settings, and I don't see anything there that might prevent it from working.

But...

While many players support movie-only output to BD-9, not all of them do. In order to support it, your player must support AVCHD. If it doesn't specifically say it does in your manual -- it probably doesn't, and you will get exactly the error you've described and it isn't going to work no matter what settings you use.

Hi,

I just gave the latest beta version of BD Rebuilder my first try, and I am really impressed with the results.

However, I currently suffer of compatiblity issues and don´t know where they come from.

I used the "Full backup" mode and first checked the results with the latest version of PowerDVD 11 by selecting the "play from folder" option - and it worked fine, including all menus etc.

Then, I mounted the created ISO with DaemonTools. Now, PowerDVD refuses to play the movie. It starts, turns Aero of, and then simply stops. When I restart the playback, the "resume" or "restart" screen shows a AVCHD logo next to the buttons. When I use the folder playback option, it also does not work. It also claims to have found an AVCHD disc.

When I copy the burned folders back from the DVD-9 to the hard disc and select the folder playback option, it works again. When stopping and starting this playback again, the AVCHD logo disappears next to the "resume" and "restart" buttons.
One version directly burned from the created ISO to a DVD-9 also does not work, so I don´t think it is related to the DaemonTools.

I don´t know if PowerDVD 11 has integrated a new BD check with the latest update or if there are any problems with my system or the ImgBurn commands BD Rebuilder uses that cause BD-9 discs with BD structure to be detected as AVCHD discs.
However, it is also strange that even the "playback from folder" function does not work as soon as the data need to be played back from the ISO or the BD-9 disc.

I am going to check the problem on other systems with different PowerDVD 11 versions (not only the latest one), however, is there already anybody out there having no or even the same problems before I have to start further tests?

BTW.: I used the default settings of BD Rebuilder apart from selecting "best quality" on reencoding and disabling the deinterlacing of interlaced material.

I have two other computers , one dedicated for audio and the other for general use both with the same O/S version. Copied everything intact to each, in an attempt to see if the error would duplicate. It did on both machines.

[jdobbs]

@JK1974

Let's see what other users of PowerDVD 11 have to say. I don't use it and I don't even know if it supports full backups to BD-9. Not all players do. Also, since software players are so inherently buggy, I normally only accept bug reports that have been tested on standalone players.

[jdobbs]

I have two other computers , one dedicated for audio and the other for general use both with the same O/S version. Copied everything intact to each, in an attempt to see if the error would duplicate. It did on both machines. I would have to counter that by saying "But it works for everyone else, including me." That means the error has to be on your end somewhere -- and unfortunately there isn't much I can do.

It has worked for you before -- so the question is, what has changed on your computers? The versions of wavi.exe and aften.exe on BD-RB have not changed since July of 2009.

Is there any chance this is just a corrupt source?

[sonate]

Just trying to tell you that this seems to be the way this version of XP functions. Nothing has changed, one hasn't even been used for the past 6 months. There are also several other cases reporting this quirk with recoding audio, all aften related. Perhaps you could look on your systems environmental variables and see how it routes the stdout for that paticular application That's all I'm asking.

You developed a wonderful tool and I unfortunately have not been able to enjoy all its capabilities. I am dying to see what a BD-5 looks like but unfortunately without compressing the HD audio, that just isn't going to happen.

As far as corrupt source, ripped with anydvdhd and the mounted .iso plays with full functionallity, all audio tracks, all subs, all menu items. Is there any particular setting in the sly software which should be avoided, ie "remove annoying warnings and trailers", disable br live, etc?

[Rich86]

Is it the "upgraded" version? Neither PowerDVD9 or 10 play BD-R discs for me, but I have never "upgraded" to see if that would make a difference.

I have PowerDVD9 installed on my tower and it is my primary blu-ray player program. It came free with my Lite-On blu-ray burner. It plays my burned BD-Rs & BD-REs just fine. It also plays a ripped blu-ray movie off the hard drive once mounted via the very convenient .miniso DVDFab provides.

Same here, power dvd plays them flawlessly. I use Daemon tools to mount the images which I verify in pdvd9 after every sly rip before I try to process them with BD reb.

[omegaman7]

Jdobbs, does rebuilder take subtitles in to account when determining output size? I rarely do a DVD-5 output, but in this instance I elected to.
Fast five has more subtitles than a dozen dvds put together. The output ended up being 4491Mb. Only a bit over. Not a big deal really. But it is worth noting. Dvd shrink can take the unneeded subtitles away, without touching the encoded video.

Is there any particular setting in the sly software which should be avoided, ie "remove annoying warnings and trailers", disable br live, etc? Leave all the AnyDVD settings at their installation default.

I think the other cases reported on AFTEN all have a solution (usually a bad source if I remember correctly). I don't know of any open ones... my debug list has none listed.

Playback is NOT a way to check for a bad source. Even severely corrupted sources will playback -- errors are just ignored. Trying to reencode, on the other hand, is a different story. A corrupt source can stop it in it's tracks.

As for environment variables -- I don't see the connection.

I'll look at creating a new hidden switch that does the encode in two steps (one to WAV and the second to AC3). But that just raises the possible issue of files over 4GB.

Again I ask -- what have you changed on your systems since the last time it worked? I would almost guarantee that is the issue. The way BD-RB does the audio encode hasn't changed in well over 2 years. In fact, with the exception of a change in the version of AFTEN it hasn't changed significantly since the first release.

I'm going to have to think hard, I believe the title was "the prestige" where as a test I recall ending up with an AC3 recode. The failure rate was so high, I basically gave up. I remember trying it successfully after you convinced me there was no need to keep the HD audio. But I need to verify this by looking at back posts to get an idea of the timeframe.

So let me ask you, the dts hd has already been reduced to dts in the logs I posted over the past few days representing a reduction in perhaps 2.5 gb of space for the audio. How much further do I save by going to AC3, and is this conversion capable of the 7 channel sound?

Basically I don't have a real need to compress to bd-5 but I was really interested in seeing what it could do. BD-25's cost in some cases less then the DVD dual layers. All this moaning, I still can tell you I have been 100% satisfied with BD-25 keeping the HD audio if worse came to worse.

About the environmental variables, namely the path , it seems pretty obvious that stdin/out has to function on all the other applications or else none of the cmd.exe based applets( in the general meaning of the term) would be able to be integrated into your program which when performed on my machine is largely successful except for this one.

[RobertM]

Well that certainly doesn't agree with my experience, and what I've read in many other forums. I currently have the "free" version of PowerDVD10 on my system (came with my LG burner), and it has NEVER been able to play back a BD-R that I have produced with BDRB. It always gives me an error something like "incompatible disc format". I suppose it could be the media (Verbatim), or the burner itself.

Anyway, I'm obviously wrong in what I previously said about PowerDVD not being able to play BD-R discs. Sorry for the misinformation.

Listen. I've been bending over backwards to try and answer your questions, only to have to read non-applicable comments like this. I also have overlooked the fact that you continually post conflicting information (like reporting AC3 as DTS, or saying you're encoding with one group of settings only to see from the log that it is incorrect).

Now you're second-guessing again as you did in previous post making illogical statements. I realize your knowledge of the working of this program and apparently Windows/DOS may be limited. But I keep feeling obliged to answer because others who are reading this thread may not realize that they are illogical.

To answer this one:

1. Environment variables (including the path) are not applicable (as I already said). BD-RB always uses fully qualified paths. That should be obvious since you've been looking at the command line I gave you.
...it seems pretty obvious...2. Obvious? C'mon -- I never blame someone for being a novice, but now you're throwing manure at me using novice logic with the pretense of understanding. If you want to know "Obvious" it is obvious that you don't have a clue what stdin/stdout is... Further, it makes no sense in the context you are using it. Stdin/Stdout is only used (in this context) to feed the output of one program as the input to another. In BD-RB it is only done for audio encode and nowhere else... and that is specifically because Aften doesn accept DTS (and/or other codecs) as an input type. So those formats are converted to PCM using AVISYNTH and NicAudio() with WAVI.EXE and fed to AFTEN. In other words your statement "it seems pretty obvious that stdin/out has to function on all the other applications" is complete nonsense. Stdin/Stdout doesn't even come into play anywhere else.

I don't mean to be harsh -- but I've been spending a lot of time and have been very patient helping you with a problem that is specific only to you. And the response I get is you throwing inapplicable comments and continually inaccurate/incorrect information back at me.

Sorry but I'm giving up on this bug report.

What burning tool are you using? I find imageburn to be better than nero. Easy to burn from an image file. I also use the verify after burn. Read errors do result in unrecognizable discs. Once tried a brand called "optical quantum" which had almost an 80% failure rate. I use Ridata and have yet to produce a failure.

I use ImgBurn, with Verbatim BD-25 discs, and I verify after every burn. I've never had a verify error, so 0% failure rate.

Your efforts have been herculean only to be outdone by your efforts to make a person feel like a piece of crap. Just think that if you tried a dozen different attempts on your own before you thought of bothering the developer because you knew he was busy. You end up with a dozen log files trying to determine which one was the one associated with workfiles you saved because you thought there was something which might reveal the problem. And I don't know how your program works, and I made a few assumptions Mea culpa, I'm human too. Now I'm a complete idiot.

I know... It works exactly the same way as NicAudio(). The problem isn't within BD-RB. I'm repeating myself, but your problem appears to be that any attempt to pass data through stdin/stdout between programs is not working. That's an operating system issue. There is really nothing I can do.

[Capsbackup]

And you would be hard pressed to think I am not appreciative.

Let me ask you, if you know,does XP by default set all CMD.exe permissions to deny?

I do not know. I have not been using XP for quite some time.
There have been reports of anti-virus software causing various conflicts, so you could investigate if that applies to your situation. Beyond that I do not have much else to offer. :o

Yes I understand, the pipe is broken.

At least we know simple stdin/stdout dos commands still work

Well that certainly doesn't agree with my experience, and what I've read in many other forums. I currently have the "free" version of PowerDVD10 on my system (came with my LG burner), and it has NEVER been able to play back a BD-R that I have produced with BDRB. It always gives me an error something like "incompatible disc format". I suppose it could be the media (Verbatim), or the burner itself.

Anyway, I'm obviously wrong in what I previously said about PowerDVD not being able to play BD-R discs. Sorry for the misinformation.

I'm assuming you are trying to play properly formatted & burned BD-R discs that play in a standalone player. All I do is load the disc in my BD drive, click on "select source" in the lower left corner of the Powerdvd9 main menu, and choose the drive letter of the disc title. It loads up the menu and off we go. Did LG maybe provide you a PowerDVD version that does not support blu-ray? That would seem strange if it came packaged with a blu-ray burner.

Right.

I do the same thing. The disc title shows up, but when I select it I get the error message.

It loads up the menu and off we go.

Hmm.... I wonder if the problem is that I ONLY do "movie-only" backups. Maybe the problem is that there are no menu items.

Did LG maybe provide you a PowerDVD version that does not support blu-ray? That would seem strange if it came packaged with a blu-ray burner.

It can certainly play commercial BD discs, just not my BD-R discs.

But now you've got me thinking that PowerDVD might just say that anything without a menu isn't valid. I'll test that theory by making a "full backup" to a BD-RE disc and see if that makes any difference.

Remember this:

ack_4352.AC3"

Well I just realized that this command line uses the wrong output filename. That name is the actually the same as the input file (within the AVS) and is probably overwriting the source and causing the error. So we might be back to square one.

Run the job again (up to the point it fails) and then try this command instead and see if it completes, or (more likely) gives a different error:

Just to be sure, I also setup a WinXP system and did some testing with the audio encode. It works correctly there as well.

No problem and thank you for going the extra mile. I'm convinced that this is a local problem with either my XP version or the way it is configured, since you have no problem running it on your xp setup. But for the life of me, I can't understand why.

Is there any significance to the two different messages, The first one finding the 6 channel PCM and today's not finding it even though the associated AVS were identical.

But inputing the command you sent me two days on this job run ago resulted with identical messages as the newer command today , so can I assume that has to do with minor differences in the way the jobs ran?

Also, now I'm pretty sure I never successfully converted a DTS-HD to AC3, but I have been able to with with True-HD. Is that because True-HD has an embeded AC3 which doesn't require Aften?

I am unable to select these to blank as they are not even listed in the tree view. :confused:

You have to double-click on the title to enter edit mode. Then you'll see all selections (even those set to be blanked). But it's unlikely you'll get much with BLANK_THRESHOLD=1. There aren't many playlists that are less than 1 second long.

Note that if ENABLE_TEST is set, you can enter edit mode from "Full Backup" mode as well, so you don't need to set an exceptionally low threshold to prevent auto blanking.

[Sharc]

No asterisk. They seem to be a kind of orphans, not referenced in any of the playlists.
Disc is Enemy of the state (region2).
P.S. Your PM inbox is full ....

Edit: ooops, the statement that these clips are not referenced in any playlist is wrong; it's just that DB-RB shows only 6 (out of total 39) playlists in it's "Select movie-only Playlist" window, hence my wrong conlusion that these clips are orphans.
Nevertheless, some unwanted clips are kept and manual blanking is disabled. Perhaps something to be looked at in future how to release unwanted clips for manual blanking (at user's responsibility).

I have double-clicked on the title and have Edit Mode listed in BD-RB. I am also in Full Backup Mode. But none of the "Warnings" or short adverts, like the 14 second " Deluxe Digital Studios" on Universal titles are even available to select and preview to blank.

EDIT:
I now see the 14 second " Deluxe Digital Studios" to blank, but none of the "warning" .m2ts files are listed to be able to blank.

[sonate]

It depends on your settings. If you have "Reencode AC3" selected, it will reencode it.

Could you do me a favor and tell me what the version number of of XP you used and what were the system specs it was installed on. Appreciate...

No - I can play my movie only backups just fine with PowerDVD9.

I generally process ripped titles with BD-RB using mostly defaults (although I DO set it for the highest quality for compression purposes).
I burn with imgburn in "build" mode from the output directories of BD-RB.
If the original disc is already a BD25, I do not process with BD-RB at all - just burn from the ripped directories on hard disc.

btw . . my PowerDVD came bundled in the "Cyberlink Blu-Ray Suite" with my drive.
The PowerDVD version is 9.0.2919.52

[omegaman7]

First, I apologize for asking this twice, but I think I was overlooked. It's ok, it happens.

Does BD rebuilder, when calculating output size, take subtitles into account? I realize that most movies subtitles are nearly negligible, but Fast Five has an insane amount of subtitles. I ran a DVD-5 output, and it was oversized to 4491Mb. I'm afraid I already deleted relevant files, or I'd post a report. I'm simply curious about this for the future.

[laserfan]

In the latest version of BD-RB (v0.39.01) I have added some undocumented features.
I had to try this on one of my favorite movies (Shawshank Redemption) and it's pretty slick.

One thing I found disconcerting is that when you right-click on a VID to Preview it, which apparently launches mplayerc out of Tools, the highlight is lost in the Stream window. One has to "focus" to remember where you are in the list as you check all the VIDs. Maybe not possible to do anything about as the PC switches to MPC for Preview, but you asked for feedback. ;)

On this disc some of the "good stuff" is shorter than the bad, e.g. a slideshow is 32sec and one WARNING sequence is 50sec. I initially set BLANK_THRESHOLD to 25 vs. 1200 and this still wouldn't have worked automatically. You said "sometimes you might want to select for yourself" well for this reason I will NEVER let BD-RB automatically select stuff for me, I will always select what to blank or not.

You said "we're blanking playlists". Ok, but since I like to double-check what I'm blanking lest I blank something Good, it's somewhat confusing to look at e.g. VID_00031 in the Stream list which is actually a Warning (bad) m2ts, and its Playlist is 00033. Playlist 00031 is a keeper (a slideshow). Just a nitpick--it's no big deal i.e. if I can Preview reliably within BD-RB that's all that truly matters.

Seems the window is awfully small for doing this, e.g. when Previewing every VID they're tricky to track, and especially so when you have to scroll. If not a resizable window, then maybe a little big taller one? :)

Good stuff for sure; thanks for letting us at it!

[sonate]

It depends on your settings. If you have "Reencode AC3" selected, it will reencode it.

Rebuilding using the embedded AC3 in a True HD source, and the DTS core in a DTS-HD without further processing of the audio stream saves a considerable amount of space to begin with.

If in terms of audio prepossessing, they more or less sound identical, further AC3 reencode might be practical for a bd- 5 or 9 but not as practical for a bd-25 IMO.

The problem I'm having completing the command line, wouldn't that also occur if I tried to compress LCPM mono, since from what I can gather from the code you gave me Aften would be required for that as well.

This does make sense! I am finding that not all playlists/VID_xxxxx are showing up in BD-RB's tree list of available to blank.( Like the Warnings ) :confused:
I have been using multiAVCHD for blanking, and it lists both the .mpls and the .m2ts for blanking, which I find this very helpful!
I know blanking can be tricky, and have blanked files before that turned out to be necessary, which in turn can corrupt proper playback of the movie. I have learned to be "very" selective as to what can and cannot be blanked. :o

But more importantly, I would appreciate your responses here

The problem I'm having completing the command line, wouldn't that also occur if I tried to compress LCPM mono, since from what I can gather from the code you gave me Aften would be required for that as well.

And the system you set up XP on, might that be a factor if yours was a multi core with large RAM allocations?

[Edit] The answer is no. Only an estimate is made. The subtitles are still in BD format at the time the encode takes place so their final output size is unknown. In fact, the subs are never a "distinct" entity from which size can be determined at any time, as they are integrated directly from PNG files.

[omegaman7]

Thanks! In the future, until this code is modified, I'll just remove unnecessary subs. Of course only if there is an insane stockpile of subs ;)

You'd asked for comments some of which I gave previously--this conversion has completed now and it all appears to have worked. The blanks were blanked yet everything "plays through" as it should. So thanks for this new capability! :)

EDIT: In looking at the .MPLS for the feature, it does appear that the non-Eng audio/subs are properly identified as fra, jpn, spa, etc in there. So maybe this is a quirk of my software program Arcsoft TMT 3; yes, it is. It is not a problem with TMT 5. Sorry jdobbs for wasting your time with this. I'll leave my erroneous comment here for posterity i.e. other TMT3 users may encounter it:

One other comment I would make, this disc does in the end have three Eng audiotracks out of 6 total. But after re-building, there are shown fully 6 English audiotracks (and 10 English subtitle tracks). Hard to find the "real" tracks out of all these--I wonder if in the future you'd consider letting the user assign a different code to the "blanked" audio/subs e.g. zxx or something.

@jdobbs (This seems to have fallen down a crack)

If I am doing a FULL DISC or MOVIE-ONLY and the main movie is 1080i, if I select "Deinterlace" from Settings>>Setup, should BD-RB convert it to 1080p?

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs (This seems to have fallen down a crack)

If I am doing a FULL DISC or MOVIE-ONLY and the main movie is 1080i, if I select "Deinterlace" from Settings>>Setup, should BD-RB convert it to 1080p? It will deinterlace it (making it essentially progressive) but it will still be played as 1080i (because blu-ray doesn't allow 29.97 progressive).

If, however, the source is telecined and you have IVTC set -- it will be inverse telecined and become 23.976 progressive.

[setarip_old]

( Tree list starts with 00000.m2ts, then 00001.m2ts, then jumps to 00010.m2ts, which is the movie. Then it jumps to VID_00050 and up. )
What am I missing? :(

With or without "Deinterlace" selected as well?


Thank you very much. I'll check this out again ;>} The important thing is that if the original isn't telecined -- it is going to be 1080i not matter what. There aren't very many 1080i telecined streams. In fact, I'm not sure I've ever actually seen one.

Long time BD Rebuilder user...
Upgraded to latest version, nothing but trouble..
VC-1 errors, X264.exe errors....versions, etc...
may be looking for other options....

Downloaded all versions on homepage for recommended versions etc, have fooled with this now for 2 days.....

Was working perfectly till i upgraded to latest.... ridiculous....

[JJB]

Yep, by the information you gave and the logs you you posted I can can tell you exactly what the problem is...........

[omegaman7]

The program is in Beta stage man... And you really didn't give us much(any) information.

Was working perfectly till i upgraded to latest.... ridiculous.... Since it is working for everyone else the question would be: "What else have you changed on your system?" The odds are high you'll find your problem there.

Also... since you're using the program for free, keep your attitude in check. Go to any "option" you prefer, but I'd be surprised if you'll be able to "go" without your checkbook. I'd be even more surprised if the output was even close in quality to what you get for free with BD-RB.

Some people's sense of entitlement is what I find "ridiculous".

What's even funnier is that you waited two days to get your DOOM9 account, only to make your first post a "whine" without any description of your problem, log, error report, or issue...

I just got 3 of these, left untouched in Auto-blank mode as superfluous clips which couldn't be blanked on the disc I PMed you earlier today.
(Seems that there's just too much space left on BD disks to accommodate all kind of crap.)

If it's not letting you blank them, there's gotta be a reason. Either is has IGS in a subpath, is linked to another MPLS that has IGS, it has menu flags of some kind, or it is "leader/trailer" info related to a menu. You're saying their telecined at 1080i? What disc is it?

I read your PMs -- but I don't see the connection? In those you were talking about CRF sizing.

[sonate]

Well let me put that one to rest, out of all the BD programs out there there may be one other which works sort of decent. Yours blows it away. Not just quality of image and processing speed, but versatility and functionality. Try fast forward or reverse with anything else and you will find they never can and often freeze the video.

And if I have had certain difficulty with the AC3 conversions, none of the others offer it anyway. If I can get it to work it would be like icing on one of the best cakes.

Keep up the good work JD, I don't think I'm wrong to say that more people appreciate your efforts then they let on.:thanks:

[RobertM]

Downloaded all versions on homepage for recommended versions etc
But did you uninstall all the previous versions before installing the new one? That may make a difference. BTW, what version of BDRB were you running previously?


Was working perfectly till i upgraded to latest.... ridiculous....
Nobody else has mentioned anything like this. When I upgraded to the latest version there was no issue whatsoever.

[jlm86]

I must retract most of my post, and also give accolades to the development team...
Lack of sleep, and frustration in other areas, so my apologies..

I'm usually extremely capable to troubleshooting, but this one has me pretty good....

I'll do complete uninstall of all programs, reload, reconfigure, and see where that leads.

Yes, as most say, the app is light years ahead of anything else, and again, my hat off to development team.

[jlm86]

I seem to not be able to resolve the "x264.exe" error..
any suggestions...

[RobertM]

Jim,

Nobody can help you if you don't give more information. I have no ideal what you are trying to say by "the "x264.exe" error".

You should post the log from your latest attempt (copy from the end of your BD-Rebuilder log file in your working folder). You should post your "BD-Rebuilder.ini" file. You should post the contents of your "inspect.exe" results. You must state the EXACT wording of the error messages that you see.

We can't help you if you don't help us understand the issue.

Yes, same disc I reported about the CRF sizing. The crf sizing is however solved. The disk is Enemy of the state, region 2.
3 files are kept in Auto-blank mode, which look like poor quality uspscaled and telecined 1080i@29.97 DVD clips. I don't find these related to a menu, but I'll check again if I find some link.

Jdobbs,


Thank you so much for your efforts and all the time you have put into BDRebuilder... It is an amazing little application and you deserve far more praise then you get. I have had good luck with the app as you are very complete in your documentation and the thing just works or problems are usually swiftly resolved in new versions. I did run into an error for the first time that has me scratching my head. It may just be the disk itself or something with the file structure but I thought I would provide some information and see if you may have some insight as to what is going on. No rush or anything but if you could decode the following error messages it would be a big help:
09/26/11 [01:33:47] CopyDirStructure() 00005 1200

Basically I did a FULL BACKUP with quick encode for extras (2pass / HIGH QUALITY) to fit on Custom size 24400 BD25 Disk and all the encoding went flawlessly without an incident as usual but I ran into an error when building the FINAL BD structure that resulted in:
CopyDirStructure() 00005 1200

I checked file permissions and made sure I was running BDRebuilder as Administrator and everything seems to be inline. First time with this error so I am a bit perplexed as to what is happening. It is also worth mentioning I am reading the cloned disk as a mounted virtual drive using Virtual Clone Drive but I have always done that and been on the same version for six months now. I backed down to the previous BD rebuilder and tried again but end up with the same error code. Also no major system changed in the last few months... Codecs and everything are still the same so I can't think of any third party software that may be causing the issue especially since it is during a file operation rather than encoding...

Thank you kindly for any insight you may have on the matter.

Regards,
CannibalC

Odd one. The "00005" indicates a bad parameter that has been passed to a subroutine. It's happening in a routine that is copying the folder structure from the source to the destination. I just looked through the code. Essentially BD-RB does a directory scan using O/S calls and pulls the names of all folders, it then goes through all those folders doing the same stepping down the folder tree. The parameters are all provided by the operating system (as folder names).

Any chance you have issues on your source or destination hard drive? Try running chkdsk.

jobbs,

Sorry man... Actually I figured out the issue a few hours ago. Hehe you called it... it was a corrupt file on the cloned ISO file itself. I used teracopy to copy the entire cloned ISO to another drive and low and behold it appears there was a single JAR file that was unreadable. I rebuilt the ISO without the JAR and resumed the Bdrebuilder job and it passed without any issues...and final disc played perfectly. I'll be sure to utilize this process in the future if this occurs again. Usually I just verify the integrity of the m2ts files with EAC3to and move ahead if everything passes... Never ran into an issue with any other files but it must have been something on the original disk itself even though when I cloned it no errors were encountered. I even checked the hard drive I originally wrote the image to see if there were any issues with bad sectors... Everything came back clean and SMART didn't indicate any issues. Hehe must have been the original disk... perhaps an intentionally corrupt file to thwart simple clone backups.

Sorry for taking up your time.

Once again can't thank you enough for BDRebuilder...phenomenal app! As soon as I land a new job I'll definitely get a donation to you to further show my gratitude.

Regards,

jdobbs,

Am rebuilding one of my BDs, but the output ISO is 37GB. Second time this has happened with this particular disk. Here is my log. Any ideas? This is the only disk I have experience this with, all others rebuild with no problems.

I used search and FAQ and could not find an answer to this question.

Say I want to burn to BD25 but the backup is a tad over. I would like to do full backup, keep movie untouched, but re-encode the extras/supplements down as much as neeeded to meet target.

Can and how can this be done?

I did find that:
"Quicker" Encode for Extras means you prefer a faster encoding setting for the extras."

But does that mean it will reduce the extras down and by how much and can it be adjusted?

What happens if even after it compresses the extras it misses the target and thus kicks in re-encoding on the movie. Is there a way to force it to not re-encode main movie and more importantly can I adjust the quick settings to add more compression and then give it a go on a second try.

UPDATE:
Ok, I did check hidden opts and this time noticed in there these options:

ALTCRF=n (n = 0-50) - CRF value to use for Alternate Movie-Only encodes (default=20)
FORCE_NOENCODE=n n = 0/1 - if set to 1, BD-RB will always use original video

But still unsure of 2 things. If FORCE_NOENCODE=1 does that apply to the extras as well even though QUICK for extras is set? And I assume a higher CRF adds more compression - correct?

2nd Movie & Menu's test encode completed without a hitch. Space Battleship Yamato shrunk perfectly, blanking worked flawless. Disc play's through them like they were normal clips, and proceeds to playing the next title. Love the blanking feature

[omegaman7]

The other night, I ran Star Trek TOS S1D1. I blanked 6 identical trailers(Star Trek 2009) 2.07Gb. It worked perfectly. The output was 22.1Gb. That's plenty close enough :) I thought for sure it would have been ~20Gb. Not sure why TMT5 displays the aspect improperly, but that's a different problem. Wish they'd get on the ball with Star Trek TNG :( A lot of people say they won't do it. Time effort money... I say the return would be worth it if they offered enough on the BD's ;) Heck, I'd easily spend 1,000USD on the complete TNG BD set!
Awesome software JD :D

[Sharc]

I came across a sync issue today:
Source is BD with 2 DTS language tracks selected.
While the backup to BD5 was perfect, I found that on the DVD5 alternate (mpeg2) PAL output one audio track was offset by about 3 seconds, the other audio track was in sync.

For the BD source I found:
Audio track 1 = 2876 ms delay
Audio track 2 = 0 ms delay

Normally audio delays are 0ms for most BD's I think, so this particular case looks like an exception. My question is if BD RB is supposed to handle such cases for DVD5 alternate PAL backup, or if this is beyond the scope and I should adjust the delay manually, or put it aside...

[xterminater]

jdobbs... I don't know if this is a previous issue, I set everything to auto for encode quality, used the movie and menu only options, and set to BD-9 but my encode came out to be oversized. I only kept one audio track and that is DTS. I had to re-ran that encode to BD-RB once again to get it to reduce to size. I deleted the inf file by accident already but do you know what the issue could be?

[Ch3vr0n]

Not without the BDRB logfile he won't

Oh and @Jdobbs. Just finished another BDRB blanking encode. Thor this time, plays back flawlessley. Skips all that oppinion & trailer shit and skip right down to the menu. great new feature. I aint doing "full disc backups" no more. I'm doing movie & menu's with blanking :)

[setarip_old]

@Ch3vr0n I aint doing "full disc backups" no more. I'm doing movie & menu's with blankingWhat, and miss out on slogging through the 10 or 12 old trailers that SONY, IFC, and others insist on putting on every Blu-ray disc they crank out? ;>}

[Ch3vr0n]

yeah, we all love those things ^^, forget the movie. Trailers on infinite replay :p

[jfcarbel]

I recently noticed that most releases now are using DTS-MA.

I also read somewhere:
Every DTS HD Tracks has encoded a DTS "core" inside ,which is a "standard" DTS 1536kbps 5.1. You can extract the dtscore lossless from DTS HD ! So you have the encoded 1536kbps DTS core without Quality loss from a senseless reencode

So, where is the option or what setting do I need to use in BD-Rebuilder to tell it to use the core DTS?
I see a DTS_REENCODE, but I dont want a renencode, I want it to extract the core from DTS. Is this possible with all DTS-MA releases, that is, must a core be provided inside the DTS-MA stream?

I am familiar with the AC3 and LPCM hidden opts, but unsure how to setup to use DTS core from a DTS-MA release.

Can someone help.

UPDATE:
Ok, I see in setup an option "do not convert DTS to AC3". I also have keep HD Audio for BD25 checked. So I am thinking this must be the way to force it to use DTS core if the full HD audio will not fit.
But even after that does it know to adjust compression of video, that is, first it does audio to extract DTS core to see how much the video will now need to be compressed.

[jdobbs]

I recently noticed that most releases now are using DTS-MA.

I also read somewhere:


So, where is the option or what setting do I need to use in BD-Rebuilder to tell it to use the core DTS?
I see a DTS_REENCODE, but I dont want a renencode, I want it to extra the core from DTS. Is this possible with all DTS-MA releases, that is, must a core be provided inside the DTS-MA stream?

I am familiar with the AC3 and LPCM hidden opts, but unsure how to setup to use DTS core from a DTS-MA release.

Can someone help.Just select "Do reencode DTS" and uncheck "Keep HD audio" and you will get the core (assuming BD-25 backup).

[jfcarbel]

Thanks for the quick response jdobbs and thanks so much for the edit feature as I am doing my first test now.

Just select "Do reencode DTS"

Did you mean select "Do not rencode DTS to AC3"? As I do not see a "do reencode" option on setup dialog.

and uncheck "Keep HD audio" and you will get the core (assuming BD-25 backup)

Yes, this is BD25 backup. So even though DTS core is in an HD stream , it is not considered HD audio? I think I read somewhere that most blind tests cannot tell DTS core from DTS-MA. Is that typically the case?

And with typical movie just how much in size do you save from going from DTS-MA to DTS core?

i seem to be unable to get all the episodes copied off a disc. i've had this problem with band of brothers and lonesome dove. bdrb (v38.09) is set to full backup. win 7 home premium 64. using the latest plugins from your site. is there some other setting i'm missing?

[jakobkraft]

I upgraded to latest version -- but now I keep getting 'x264.exe has stopped working' message. I've gotten it with three blu-ray discs so far. My settings have always been 'Target Size BD-25, Automatic Quality.'

Please see screenshot here: http://imageshack.us/f/593/snagit1.jpg/

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit, my ffdshow is configured exactly to BD-Rebuilder's specifications, has not changed in over six months so I don't know why this is happening now. Only change was forced update of BD-Rebuilder because previous version had expired. Inspect.exe tells me all files are 'ok'.

BTW--is it necessary to make older versions of BD-Rebuilder expire? I'm fairly certain, given all the successful uses I've gotten out of older versions, that I would NOT be having this problem with one of the many previous versions of BD-Rebuilder. Why restrict users to the later BETA versions if they're ALL BETA versions -- just a thought.

[RobertM]

but now I keep getting 'x264.exe has stopped working' message

Did you upgrade EVERYTHING in the new BDRB zip file? You should just unzip the entire archive into a new folder and run BDRB from there. That way you get the latest version of BDRD plus all the associated required apps, including x264. If you just extract the BDRB exe file into your previous BDRB folder then you will be using the current version of BDRB but potentially out-of-date helper apps.

I say the above because LOTS of users (myself included) have upgraded to the latest version of BDRB with no trouble regarding x264. It is unlikely that there is a bug in BDRB, but rather that something in your configuration has gone wrong.

Why restrict users to the later BETA versions
It's just part of the deal we have with JDobbs. We get to use his s/w for free and he gets a pool of beta troubleshooters. If he didn't do this then he would get people issuing bug reports from all kinds of older versions, which would be an unmanageable situation. The first bit of advice would always be to upgrade to the latest version before any bug report would be considered. With the time-bomb in place, he, and we, are all using the same version, and that simplifies the troubleshooting process.

That being said, I understand your point that it was working fine and now you have a problem simply because you were forced to upgrade. That is an unfortunate situation.

I did upgrade everything -- what I did was just delete first the previous BDRebuilder folder (which I always kept in 'Program Files') and then unzip and place the new BDRebuilder in its place. I know overwriting files can cause weirdness, so I always just delete the old folder first.

So again, really don't know what is causing this except to say it is definitely because of the newer version of BDRebuilder.

[RobertM]

Ok, so far so good.

Did you uninstall, delete then reinstall the new versions of ffdshow, haali and avisynth (from the first post of this thread). That might the next thing to try.

[worknstiff]

@jakobkraft: RE: Quote- I did upgrade everything -- what I did was just delete first the previous BDRebuilder folder (which I always kept in 'Program Files') -

Per instructions on (FIRST PAGE) Per Step 3 -3. Unzip the BD-RB.zip file. Put it in a directory of its own. I'd recommend putting it somewhere other than "C:\Program Files" until it has been tested more (because of the virtualization that began with Vista).

Maybe this will help by moving it, and also sometimes you need to uninstall all the helper apps and reboot and reinstall. goodluck, woirknstiff

Oops, just saw the post from RobertM, sorry

Good work on the new edit mode! With the new edit mode, is there anyway to tell what kind of size I've got the source down to after making edits? For example, I have a disc that is just a few gb's over a 25gb BD-R. After blanking some titles, can I tell if my blanking and audio removal has made enough of a difference to not have to re-encode? Any plans to add an option to force some titles not to be re-encoded?

These kind of error are usually from bad rip. What did you use to rip it.

Also post inspect log here as well.

@woecarlson

Hi!

1) Are you attempting to do a "Full Disc" backup or a "Movie-Only" backup?

2) What is your source material?

[Treasurer121]

Hi all. Many thx to Jdobbs and the rest of you diligent helpers. I just became a financial contributer and I hope to contribute more in the near future. I feel a bit guilty as I have been using this for some time now.

On to my problem...

After my latest rebuild after installing new version I find no CERTIFICATE file in my working folder so that means my Imgburn cannot make a usable ISO copy. All I have is the BDMV file...weird huh?

I have same setup I have always had:
Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core i5 M460 @ 2.53 Ghz
Blue ray
Latest version of AnyDVD HD

Tried to do the new TRANSFORMERS 3 Dark of The Moon.
9 Hour build basically (usual for disc that size for me)
MOVIE ONLY MODE (usual)

No weird log entries, seemed normal. But no CERTIFICATE file upon rebuild. Checked all the work files. Nothing.

Here's the log. If you spot what I did wrong, thanks in advance.

Dan.

If you have selected "Strict AVCHD for BD-5/9 Movie Only", I believe this is why there is no Certificate folder in the output. ;)

[JJB]

I have "Strict AVCHD for BD-5/9 Movie Only" selected and Imgburn makes an ISO from the folder with no certificate. Doing it as we speak. If Imgburn will not make it maybe just reset every thing back to default in Imgburn.

[rendez2k]

Hmm, just tried The Rock. While I disabled all but the movie and menus, theres still a fair few bits and bobs left like trailers and small special features which I don't seem able to remove. Could they be part of the menu structure some how?

[Treasurer121]

The problem is that the ISO that is made without the Certificate file included will not play. Says unsupportable format now. I am always used to finding the Certificate file right under the BDMV file.

Same thing just happened with my backup of one of my "Pacific" episodes.,..

Just un-check the strict avchd mode and try again. I assume your player just does not recognize that structure.

Once again I assume it is a stand alone player and not a software player, correct?

[Treasurer121]

Software/DVD/Blue Ray combo player/ DVD recorder...

Thus the BD-5 settings. It used to work just fine.

[Treasurer121]

Ok, unchecked Strict AVCHD and rechecked the other settings to concur with earlier thread settings. Still didnt see the CERTIFICATE file after rebuild, BUT since I selected auto burn ISO with IMGBURN it made a usable and bootable copy of my Pacific Episode. Thanks JJB, I appreciated the help. It had my perplexed.

Thanks again,

[jfcarbel]

tsmuxer gives ability to cut from front and back of streams, I believe BD-Rebuilder uses tsmuxer on the last step.

Is there a way to pass a command line parm to tsmuxer to do the cuts? This is useful sometimes to eliminate long credits. I have 2 movies where credits are like 10 minutes long.

--cut-end is the parm, I believe its specified value is ## + units (i..e. --cut-end 30s).

[omegaman7]

With dvd rebuilder, it's typical(but not always) to have the credits within a single stream. I usually highly compress that, since obviously it can afford a great deal of loss. One day, I'm sure Jdobbs will implement the ability to allocate bandwidth accordingly to specified streams ;)

I prefer not cut the credits. It's informative at times :p Besides, the difference would be negligible.

[jakobkraft]

@jakobkraft: RE: Quote- I did upgrade everything -- what I did was just delete first the previous BDRebuilder folder (which I always kept in 'Program Files') -

Per instructions on (FIRST PAGE) Per Step 3 -3. Unzip the BD-RB.zip file. Put it in a directory of its own. I'd recommend putting it somewhere other than "C:\Program Files" until it has been tested more (because of the virtualization that began with Vista).

Maybe this will help by moving it, and also sometimes you need to uninstall all the helper apps and reboot and reinstall. goodluck, woirknstiff

Oops, just saw the post from RobertM, sorry

Ok, I THINK I've solved the problem. I moved the BD-Rebuilder folder from Program Files to C:\ drive (didn't know about the Win7 virtualization thing) and I updated the Haali Splitter. That's all. No more x264.exe error for now...

[jfcarbel]

I prefer not cut the credits. It's informative at times :p Besides, the difference would be negligible.

Not always, I have two titles were I saved close to 1GB in space.

[omegaman7]

Transformers 3 seemed rather long. But even if it were ten minutes, that'd only improve the main(or over all compression) title by 6.4%(If my math is correct) :S

But if laserfan is correct, it wouldn't even be that. The credits already have a low bitrate.

[laserfan]

Is there a way to pass a command line parm to tsmuxer to do the cuts? This is useful sometimes to eliminate long credits. I have 2 movies where credits are like 10 minutes long.
I don't think this is worth messing with if BD-RB is doing a two-pass x264 conversion, because x264 will minimize the bit-allocation to the credit sequence anyway.

[sonate]

I just put Dr. Strangelove through BD REB using these audio settings - Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=0 Kbs=640

The audio in was Dolby True HD 5.1, and what I ended up in the final rebuild was AC3-640.

Is this just a simple case of transferring the compressed audio without processing with the metadata? And is it correct to assume that an audio re encode was not performed by BD Rebuilder?

If so, will these settings consistently give that result with Dolby True HD?

[jdobbs]

@Rany

Usually an issue like you've reported is an indicator that something else has intercepted or is interfering with the CODECs provided by FFDSHOW. Make sure you remove any "codec packs" you have installed. Then uninstall and reinstall HAALI and FFDSHOW. If something has "gummed up the works" reinstallation will often fix it.

What was your target size? If it was BD-5/9 -- it acted as it should. BD-5/9 is not large enough to retain True HD.

Well it was BD-25, but I was trying to reduce the size for audio. But my major question is whether there was an audio re encode. Does the AC3 640kbs already exist as part of the Dolby THD track?

Yes it does. The core of the True HD track would be 640Kbs DD5.1. Since you have "Keep HD" and "Reencode AC3" both set off and you're going to BD-25 -- your output should consist of the core of the original audio (without reencoding).

Please correct me if I am wrong... :p If there are audio file/s in the Workfiles folder that are named AUD_xxxxx_xxxx, then those audio files were reencoded. So if the AUD_xxxx_xxxx corresponds to the title in question, audio was reencoded. :cool:

The extracted core can be renamed simply to make the rebuild less complex under certain circumstances.

But generally, yes, that's the case.

Please help :confused:

[djmasturbeat]

Hi, thanks again for the great software
I am trying out the new blanking feature, trying to encode just the extras of a movie (with menu).

X264 keeps stopping on trying to reencode just the extras for the movie 9 (2009)
The files it gums up on are VC-1 interlaced.

I have tried with or w/o strict AVCHD
I tried using tweaks on PASS 2 but disabled that to make sure that wasn't the issue
I originally wanted an output of 3550 MB, but instead tried for DVD5 size output, i doubt it, but in case that 3550 MB was too small (original extras files are 6.34 GB)
I tried with deinterlace and all 4 settings in the ini, I tried with deinterlace unticked
I tried w/ and w/o IVTC ticked
I tried different encoding speeds

regardless of changing any of these, x264 always crashes every time it gets to the VC-1 interlaced files; I get these popups that x264 stopped working and the next one pops up as soon as i hit ok on the first.

I am working from an ISO mounted. ISO was made with AnyDVD
would it be better to try and re-rip with folders? i don't see why that would make any difference.

x264 chokes on the interlaced VC-1 files, which has been my past experience too. even when it encodes w/o stopping, they end up looking like they have been shredded.

Please help advise me as I really don't have any idea how to make this work.


here is one of the most recent log strings. I deleted the ones before that when retrying after opening.

<<-----^^^^^^---------- the last of these I realized i forgot to select this main movie for blanking again, as it needs reset after stopping/ failing

I am not sure I like that, that we need to go back and re-blank everything after changing settings or the config/ini file, or after stopping for any reason, but anyhow, here is the rest of the laatest string of these on this disc

But one thing it showed me was that x264 was starting to encode just fine on the VC-1 progressive main movie file. so I it is working fine with VC-1 as long as it isn't interlaced.
It also handles the MPEG-2, 720x480 file it encodes before the 1080 interlaced VC-1 files

@Rany

The probability is very high that your source is corrupt. Notice that other streams with the exact same characteristics are encoding successfully before the failure on that single M2TS. It's also possible but less likely that your system isn't stable. Are you overclocked?

[jdobbs]

@djmasturbeat

There are issues with HAALI and certain types of VC-1 interlaced sources in M2TS containers. BD-RB has implemented a workaround that extracts them from the original, remuxes them as an MKV, and then uses that source for encoding. It's possible some recent change has mucked that process up in some way. I'll dig around for "9" and see if I can repeat the problem.

[Treasurer121]

Even at BD-5/9, the quality looks great on my big screen. I of course always default to high quality and longer builds, but it's worth it for now until I get an actual Blue Ray Burner.

[rendez2k]

Is there anyway to check if a disc doesn't need compressing after removal of audio and extras? I have a few discs that are a few GB's over a BD-R which I'm sure with a bit of tweaking and removal of some titles would be fine so I'm wondering if theres an indicator somewhere of the expected output size after editing? I know hitting go will either re-encode or not but it would be nice to tweak first to get it to the ideal size, especially with new blanking features!

I know hitting go will either re-encode or not but it would be nice to tweak first to get it to the ideal size, especially with new blanking features! That's a little hard because you have to demux the video/audio before you know the original size to any degree of accuracy -- and that is done as each M2TS is being processed. To demux the entire thing might take 30-45 minutes and use 50GB before you even start encoding.

[rendez2k]

So, if you remove certain playlists, BD-RB couldn't guess how much space could be saved based on the original file size? I seem to remember DVD-RB having some kind of space/compression indicator (although I imagine BR's are a complex beast compared to DVD)

By the way, did you see this post I made a few days ago? I've saved over the damn log since though although I can re-run the disc if need be:

Hi Friends,

Hope this isn't in the wrong thread...

At the end of the session my rebuilt BR quits in the middle of ImgBrn. I get an I/O message.

Basically, the disc stops writing and a square with a red circle X comes up that says I/O Error!

Than it says Device [0:2:0] Optiarc BD RW BD-5740H 1.00 (D:) (ATAPI)

Then some other stuff.. and it ends with

Interpretation: Invalid Address For Write

Do I have something set wrong, or is it a hardware problem, which I suspect?

(BTW, I have a picture of the message but the forum parameters are not allowing me to upload it)

[Ch3vr0n]

@JDobbs: i know beyond the shadow of a doubt what the problem is with rany's encode. It's been preprocessed. Take a look at the source

[00:01:23] BD Rebuilder v0.39.01 (beta)
- Source: THE.PURSUIT.OF.HAPPYNESS.2006.1080P.BLU-RAY.EUR.H.264-HDMONSK


That's a pirated disc by the HDMONSK release group, there aint 1 official BD out there where the volume label is like that.

@RichardB: if IMGBurn quits in the middle of a burn the problem isnt with BDRB, its with either IMGBurn & your burner or my thoughts, your burner and the blanks you use. I've had that invalid address too a few times when i used LTH discs and told IMGB to burn directly to disc. I solved the problem by having BDRB tell IMGB to create an iso instead of burning to blank and then use that ISO to burn it to disc. Never had a problem that way

What kind of blanks are you using

[IVaN_000]

As there's no way to keep DTS-Express audio, the secondary video stream often becomes useless. Is there a way to tell BD Rebuilder that I don't need that secondary video, so it skips muxing it back?

[djmasturbeat]

@djmasturbeat

There are issues with HAALI and certain types of VC-1 interlaced sources in M2TS containers. BD-RB has implemented a workaround that extracts them from the original, remuxes them as an MKV, and then uses that source for encoding. It's possible some recent change has mucked that process up in some way. I'll dig around for "9" and see if I can repeat the problem.


should i try the "mkv" instead of "264" extension option?

I didn't try that.

Well, I am going to try that, if I am understanding you correctly, the
MKV_INTERMEDIATE=1
switch may help?

I will report back how I fare on my system.

For the most part I don't usually have issues with BD-RB. I don't use it a whole lot, but it is usually pretty darn stable overall (it's betas are more stable than some "stable" main releases of other software)


Other than many interlaced VC-1 problems (which I attribute to x264), the only other things I remember I have ever had annoying issues with are a few slightly oversized discs just barely too big for BD25; some up to 24.1 GB final (those hurt to kill after doing on the slowest encoding speed; recently one of those I had a full backup of Crumb from the Criterion Collection, I was luckily able to get down to BD25 by removing a color pattern test and wrong Region Code m2ts using Clown BD BD Copier afterward; whew, very lucky since it took 1.5 - 2 days on an i7 system, didn't want to flush that :P)


EDIT:
I am testing on fastest encode speed to see if i can get this to work at all

now I am getting a window pop up that says
BDRB experienced an error 2809 [23;40;28]
PredictAndEncode() 00053 2809

and when I hit the OK button it puts into the log that it was user aborted.


This is happening in the MPEG-2 file before any of the VC-1 files.

I tried w/ and w/o IVTC
and w/ and w/o deinterlacing
i tried with strict AVCHD and without

I would like to include it, too, is it usually a problem to run an MPEG-2 720x480 interlaced file thru with mkv intermed. turned on? It was processing fine in the previous runs where the VC-1 1080 interlaced were failing


nevermind, I tried again, this time, for now, just blanking that MPEG2 480i extra
i am back to x264 crashing again



but I am still curious why the 480i in MPEG2 was having problems with the mkv intermediate option, and if this is usual.

PC specs FWIW,

ASUS P6T v2 deluxe,

... so no overclocking

no codec packs other than (BDRB recommended builds of) ffdshow tryouts and Haali, and then I have those that are installed by MPC-HC, Cyberlink and Arcsoft with their installers as part of the software players.

BD-RB does the MKV output automatically when it needs to, you don't have to set anything.

I'm using "Titan" BD-R 25gb 4x. I'll try the ISO idea.

Thanks for the response,
Richard

[Ch3vr0n]

Never heard of that brand, very likely they're the issue. Get quality media like Verbatim BD-R's (not the LTH type), and the problem should disappear

[omegaman7]

I've heard of titan. Haven't bought them before though. I've bought LTH verbs, Ritek BD-R's, Digistor BD-R's(CMCMAG), Taiyo Yuden LTH 4X BD-R's(Excellent discs), and Optical quantum(PHilips). Haven't had too many troubles. Riteks don't work in every player properly though. The Digistor discs seem to act funny lately. But I think it's my Burner :( Today it had to retry multiple times, and ultimately failed. I've had it retry before, and succeeded. I ripped "Watchmen" to my Hard drive today, and then tried the same disc again, and it worked perfectly. I figure it needed a little exercise first :p Probably get a Pioneer in the near future. Heard good things about them. My current is an LG-WH10LS30 for the record. Good reading drive, but I think burning may be cut short.

I don't create ISO images. Unless the industry disc is single layer. Habit with DVD's. Imgburn acknowledges the BDMV folder, and takes the appropriate action when burning folders :p E.g. UDF 2.5

[djmasturbeat]

@djmasturbeat

BD-RB does the MKV output automatically when it needs to, you don't have to set anything.

FWIW, the included MPC also crashes previewing the 1080i VC-1 videos. 1080p VC-1 main feature and 480i MPEG2 preview fine.
not sure if this matters for the reencode, but just some more info

[omegaman7]

Yah, when I preview the interlaced sources, they're green. I could care less though :p

[jdobbs]

I use Titans all the time for DVD-9... they're decent quality and I've never had an issue. Haven't tried the BD-25's yet, but I noticed they're under $1 each at Meritline (http://www.meritline.com/titan-t9892589-blu-ray-bd-r-media-disc-4x-25gb-white-printable---p-68047.aspx), so I probably will on my next purchase.

[jdobbs]

Yah, when I preview the interlaced sources, they're green. I could care less though :pPreviewing never works for those. The combination of HAALI, FFDSHOW, and MPC can't handle them in an M2TS container. I think it's a HAALI issue -- just because they play back normally when converted to an MKV container.

[omegaman7]

Good to know. Thanks ;)

[aquanash]

I think I ran into a bug with "Hobo with a Shotgun". I did a movie-only backup and the audio is way out of synch. The audio starts too early when the movie beings; there should be about a 10 second delay so the audio starts after the first company logo, but it seems to start right away, this causes the audio to be about 10 seconds out of synch through the whole movie. I've never seen this happen with the other couple dozen backups I've done with this software.

When doing the backup I had to manually select the proper movie-only playlist of 00004, it did not pick the correct playlist by default (it picked 00143). Here is my config file, as you can see the audio delay seems to be missing for playlist 00004, I did not modify this file in anyway, it's what was generated by BD-Rebuilder. I have no clue if that has anything to do with the issue, but just wanted to point it out:

UPDATE 10/10/2011 - I re-ran the same project, this time without deleting any of the workfiles so I can provide any avs or meta files needed for analysis, just let me know. Again, the audio is out of synch by about 10 seconds with the new output. It appears there needs to be a delay to start the audio after video stream 00092 (company logo), but this isn't happening.

[HWK]

Please post "inspect.exe" log file. Most likely it is codec issue.

Since your source is less than a BD-25, there is no reencoding taking place. Why even run it through BD-RB? :confused:

Have to rip out extras to get size down to BD-25 size, the source ISO is over 40 gigs. Plus I like to get rid of all the extras and previews anyways.

That's why i always preview the auto-selected streams. To make sure it doesnt blank & menu clip or something i'd rather keep. Havent had any issue here with blanking

[colinhunt]

Have to rip out extras to get size down to BD-25 size, the source ISO is over 40 gigs.
So did you process the original with something else before running it through BD-RB? All bets are off, if you did.

[worknstiff]

My experiences are for the most part sucessfull, but it seems the final sizing is all over the place. I think maybe BD_RB is not rescanning the m2ts files after you change the default blanking to include or exclude certain playlists. I do some BD25 disks that should need little compression to fit that are coming out at 91 or 92% full when all that was needed was to get rid of just a few gigs. Then on some disks like StarWars 1-6 the main movie is around 38 gigs, and maybe another 8 gigs of extras. I found that the TRUE_HD english track was 4gigs alone and the scrolling yellow text that is 1 minute or so in length took up 500MB. Not bad untill you see that it is repeated for 8 different languages and can't be individually blanked. I tried substituting dummy m2ts files but ended up with a broken menu or an unplayable disk. Oh well, i have had quite a few that did work ok after running a few times to get within the size I was targeting but Starwars never did work out. Most of my attempts were ending up with the main movie being around 12 or 14 gigs but when I gave up and just did movie only the movie came out at 18 gigs for the movie and 4 gigs for the HD audio for a final size of 21.8 gigs resulting in a BD25 98% full. I was happy without the menu if I can keep the compression bitrate down to around 12 or 13 cbr. I wonder if everyone else is getting around the same results?

[omegaman7]

I've noticed with some Blu Ray discs, the output size is sometimes smaller than ~22.5Gb by about the same size I've blanked. E.g. blank 1Gb, and it's 21.5Gb. So yes, the output size is somewhat erratic. However, I find it to be within reason. Ones that I've blanked, with NO_REENCODE, and then rerun through Bd-rebuilder, yield a better output size. Haven't tried star wars. I'm a trekkie :S

[Ch3vr0n]

Looks like your progress counter needs fixing. It bugged on me on X-Men: First Class. Probably due to the fact that there's over 50 streams of less then 1 MB in size.

** it finished with a counter of 105% and something. However when the iso rebuild began the counter dropped back to 100%

[HWK]

Since your source is less than a BD-25, there is no reencoding taking place. Why even run it through BD-RB? :confused:

Oh, I totally miss that. Yeah If processing has be done before then indeed no support.

@ironleg1963

This is a BD-RB bug thread... its for reporting bugs, advising on bugs, discussing bugs, and looking for solutions to bugs. I try to be open-minded, but your post related to your Sony BD Drive clearly didn't belong here. I've moved it into a thread of its own.

[Ch3vr0n]

What settings are you using? Was it a full backup, Movie and Menus, or Movie-Only?

Movie & menu's, auto quality. that's the only mode i use since its available. I'm doing another encode right now to see if it wasnt a fluke, and cause the cerebro mutant tracker menu clip probably got blanked by accident (must have missed it)

I'll keep you posted

[had-z]

If counts for something, i do a X-Men First Class Full Backup and the progress bar never surpased the 100%, the rebuild works great like always :D

[jdobbs]

If counts for something, i do a X-Men First Class Full Backup and the progress bar never surpased the 100%, the rebuild works great like always :D Did you do a full or movie-only backup as opposed to a movie-and-menus? If so, that means there is some glitch in the way I account for blanked streams.

[Ch3vr0n]

It wasnt a fluke. 2nd encode exhibited the same behavior. Issue started with the encode of VID_00906 wich is the last "big" stream before 2 batches of streams that never exceed 0.30MB. Was a fraction of a second too late to capture an image but it happened again.

Hmmz cerebro mutant tracker still non-functional. Gonna try a normal encode tomorrow. Too late now

The thing is, on the backup 00335.m2ts won't start playing properly. It gets stuck at 00:00:00. It's possible to force start by pressing Fast Forward momentarily, but the file plays without sound. PowerDVD 11 only says "Dolby Digital" in its Information OSD; no mention of audio channels. Backup finished without errors.

In BD-RB Setup, "Use DEINTERLACER" and "Use LAVF" are ticked (no IVTC). I have one tweak in BD-RB .ini: "--tune film" for both passes. Backup finished without errors.

[jdobbs]

@Ch3vr0n

I'm running "X-Men First Class" now in Movie-and-Menus mode. I'll let you know what I find...

Unfortunately we appear to be working from two different authorings, as mine only has 186 streams to process.

[setarip_old]

@colinhunt

Hi!

That may have been the only time John Holmes had trouble getting started ;>}

[Ch3vr0n]

@jdobbs: try setting your blank timer to 1 minute as i did. Maybe you'll get more streams then too. That being said, i'll start a standard "full disc backup" to see if the cerebro mutant tracker bugs without blanking too. I do know that the uncompressed ISO plays perfectly

[colinhunt]

Addendum to Wonderland report: Even though the 105-minute movie appears to be stuck at 00:00, audio is in fact playing; it's only the video which is stuck. The movie begins with several seconds of silence which caused me to miss this earlier. And when video is stuck at 00:00, PowerDVD info box reads audio is "Dolby Digital 2.0 192 kbps". If I then use Fast Forward, video starts playing but audio gets muted, and PDVD info box for audio goes to read "Dolby Digital" only.

I re-encoded the disc last night, but this time I unticked both "Use DEINTERLACER" and "Use LAVF" boxes. Output behaves exactly the same way as it did on first run.

Try taking tweak out of the equation and see if it helps. Tweak film is designed for 24 frame source. You are 29.97 frame.

Try taking tweak out of the equation and see if it helps. Tweak film is designed for 24 frame source. You are 29.97 frame.
The main movie is 1080p24 and shot on film which is why I use the tweak. AFAIK "--tune film" should not and could not cause the issue I described. Also, I've used --tune film on numerous backups where the main movie is 1080p24 and bonus content is 480i29.97 without problems.

[Ch3vr0n]

@JD: cerebro works fine on full backup, probably blanked something i shouldnt. I'll keep this one, but i'll be happy to run some more encodes if you need me to

[urod]

I'm trying to compress 33 Gig BR into BD5 ( with is OK since video is 720p only) using blanking approach.
The disk has 20 gig main title , 10 gig extras and .5 gig copyright warnings.
Auto blanking blanks only one small title with copyright warnings, but keeps the extras. I can manually blank the extras, but BD rebuilder still thinks that overall size is 33 Gig and selects a bit rate twice lower of needed - I'm getting about 2.5 gig BD5. The bitrate should be about 5,000, not 2,694
Any ideas?

Update:
I reran it again - choosing BD25 output and included both subtitle tracks. That ran just fine. The problem seems to be related to converting the subtitles in this title to DVD format.

Final Update (hopefully):
I reinstalled the full BD-RB zip package (in case something got corrupted somehow) - and reran the "Mother & Child" BD out to DVD-5. This time I included both subtitles instead of just one of them. It ran to conclusion just fine - and the output looks fine - both subtitles are available. Unfortunately I cannot say which of the 2 things I did solved the issue.

There is no need for the rest - it shows the wrong bitrate, I aborted it after that

I did run it completely just to be sure
resulting ISO file size is 2.97 GB instead of 4.3GB.

I'd expect a bit of appreciation for free beta testing for a future commercial app (most likely).

Now you're being offensive...

The software is free and always will be. Exactly how much did you pay for it?

When I give away my time (yes, "give away") for the benefit of others -- I'd expect a little more appreciation. If money were my motivation I'd be mowing lawns instead. The few donations I get don't even come close to what I've spent on commercial discs just for checking out bug reports. Yet you have the gonads to say I should show "bit of appreciation"?

I have to wonder where you've developed your overinflated sense of entitlement.

Regarding "Job: ?????????????? finished.":

Would the indicated 1280x720 MPEG2 main movie size and format foul up the attempted conversion by "urod"?

1) I don't believe I've ever seen a commercial Blu-ray at 1280x720

2) On the 'Net, I see MANY versions of the just-released-in-theaters "Ides of March" at 720p, with a runtime of 101 to 103 minutes (Do the math - Rate/Length: 24.000fps, 148,417 frames). Several contain both English and Russian subs...

@JDobbs, how did the encode turn out? Seen that completion percentage "error"? Ifnot i'd be happy to mail you my ini file

[had-z]

Did you do a full or movie-only backup as opposed to a movie-and-menus? If so, that means there is some glitch in the way I account for blanked streams.


Full Backup (All the extras and menu), and everything runs great... Cerebro feature and menu.

I will edit this post if i can found an error or abnormal situation in the backup-

So did you process the original with something else before running it through BD-RB? All bets are off, if you did.

Nope, just ripped with AnyDVD then mounted the ISO and processed with BD-Rebuilder only.

[HWK]

Nope, just ripped with AnyDVD then mounted the ISO and processed with BD-Rebuilder only.

What were the anydvd setting for blu-ray section.

Anything other than option of enable blu-ray support should be disabled.

Once you do that make sure you rip from original disc or encrypted iso image.

Hi! THE_LINCOLN_LAWYER_2011_BLURAY_1080P_AVC_DTS-HD_MA71Be sure to use the original, commercial Blu-ray disc as your source...

And if X264 crashed, you might check on that overclock.

Doesn't look like it's a problem with BD-RB but x264/Windows instead. If previous version of BD-RB (which included an earlier version of x264.exe too) works for you, why not re-install that to run this backup?

[Dr.Tom]

Because if there's a new version - old version no longer works. Doesn't look like it's a problem with BD-RB but recommended old ffdshow instead. Install the latest ffdshow instead recommended by the author and the problem goes away

[jdobbs]

Install the latest ffdshow instead recommended by the author and the problem goes away So you're working now? A good guess would be that it just needed to be reinstalled. Sometimes other software installations cause issues that can only be fixed by a reinstall.

A most peculiar bug with Miramax's A Quiet American. Did a Full Backup. Selecting Play Movie in Main Menu...

on Original Disc: Miramax logo is shown, followed by the movie.

on Backup: SMPTE color bars are shown for 35 seconds, followed by post-production company title screen describing the contents of the master tape. This is followed by the Miramax logo and the movie. I would have expected audio to be severely out-of-sync because of this, but no, audio sync is fine.

Movie is in file 00000.m2ts. Playing it with MPC-HC reveals that SMPTE color bars and master tape info text screen are both included in the 00000.m2ts. For some reason they are skipped on the original, but not on Full Backup.

@colinhunt

Hi!

As with EVERY Miramax release I can remember seeing, with the original, did it first show a Miramax opening screen, then the menu and upon "Play" selection an ADDITIONAL Miramax opening screen? Did your "Full Disc" backup do the same, or were the SMPTE color bars, followed by post-production company title screen describing the contents of the master tape the first Miramax opening screen substituted for that screen?

**EDIT** I knew this sounded familiar I made a similar (not identical) post in February 2011:

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1476097&postcount=11180

Downconverting 7.1 DTS(MA) to 5.1 .AC3 640

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@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:
Quote:
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...

[colinhunt]

As with EVERY Miramax release I can remember seeing, with the original, did it first show a Miramax opening screen, then the menu and upon "Play" selection an ADDITIONAL Miramax opening screen?
Yes. You see Miramax logo twice before getting to the movie.

Did your "Full Disc" backup do the same, or were the SMPTE color bars, followed by post-production company title screen describing the contents of the master tape the first Miramax opening screen substituted for that screen?
Full Backup: Miramax logo -> Main Menu / Play -> SMPTE color bars -> post-production company title screen -> Miramax logo -> movie.
Original: Miramax logo -> Main Menu / Play -> Miramax logo -> movie.

[omegaman7]

Learned a valuable lesson today. Before starting BD rebuilder, save any running documents. Because while I only allow 3/4 cores to run, somtimes the CPU spikes well beyond 75%. I resumed the encode when I woke up(it crashed). And watched it hover around 99% - 100%. I am and have been aware of a slight instability with my overclock. Which is part of why I only allow 3 cores out of 4. I guess the real lesson to be learned, is stabilize my clock :p

I can't seem to find a blu-ray version of "The Quiet American" for sale at any of the standard places (like Amazon)... where'd you get it? I'm thinking it may not have been released in the U.S. yet.

[colinhunt]

where'd you get it? I'm thinking it may not have been released in the U.S. yet.
It's from Amazon.com... but I checked after reading your post, and can't find it there any longer. It's possible Miramax has recalled the disc because the authoring appears to be a bit messed up. Not only does the movie file contain the extra bits at the beginning, there are also odd extra bits after the movie. It's like the authoring shop has delivered a work-in-progress version to the factory. False alarm, in other words!

Remember this:)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\wavi.exe "D:
\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" - | c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tool
s\aften.exe -v 1 -b 640 -readtoeof 1 - "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AC3"

Question, when the HD audio is converted into PCM by WAVI.exe, can I assume it's buffered to some degree
before it is fed into Aften.exe. If so, the memory allocation size, temporary destination and transfer rates between programs across the pipe, are those parameters set by BD reb code or determined dynamically by windows?

before it is fed into Aften.exe. If so, the memory allocation size, temporary destination and transfer rates between programs across the pipe, are those parameters set by BD reb code or determined dynamically by windows? It's actually converted to PCM by AVISYNTH via NicAudio.dll. If there is buffering it would be inherent to the pipe and is likely very, very small. BD-RB doesn't set it. The output of WAVI is simply streamed to AFTEN.

You can break that up into two commands, first WAVI and then AFTEN, for example:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\wavi.exe "D:
\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" test.wav

c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tool
s\aften.exe -v 1 -b 640 test.wav "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AC3"

[sonate]

Thanks JD, I'm going to run the job again this time as a movie only to save a little time. Once it gets to the point where aften fails, I'll split the commands and paste the first half into the cmd prompt after making the appropriate changes in path and file name if necessary.

If I read right AUD_00001_4352.AVS" test.wav will be generated in the work folder.

edited....

OK I realized I don't need to wait for the video encode to test it since the A/V streams were extracted and AUD_00001_4352.AVS exists as a valid file in the workfiles folder and I would be essentially waiting for the audio.bat file to be created.

Inputting into the cmd window :

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>
c:\accessories\BD_Rebuilder\tools\wavi.exe "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_
00001_4352.AVS" test.wav
'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

And if I remove the "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>" so it isn't referenced twice in the path, this happens and results in wavi.exe being overwritten or corrupted.

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>c:\accessories\BD_Rebuilder\tools\wavi.e
xe "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" test.wav
Access is denied.

Unless I'm completely in left field, am I wrong to think it fails before the pipe?

I do buy from US, UK, DE and FR Amazons but I'm fairly certain this one didn't come from UK... although yeah, I could be wrong.

edit: Yup, my mistake, it's the UK version.

[KillingTime]

Im not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, so feel free to move it if necessary.

When you're backing up a rip that has some pixelation (ie data stream errors), BDRebuilder produces backups that freeze at the point of original data stream error.

I understand that you can't overcome missing data, but if the errors are at the beginning of the movie, BDRebuilder continues until the very end without reporting errors. If the end result is going to be unplayable, then it would be better to exit at the point of error, and save x hours of encoding.

A better solution would be to somehow drop the frames that are causing the problem, so the end result is still playable (albeit with some jumps), but that's a feature request if the funtionality isn't in the current design spec.

I should point out that most of my BDs are second hand and have the odd scratch or two on the data side. New discs pose no problem. I've noticed that BDs are much more prone to any kind of dirt than DVDs. I don't think it's my BD reader(s) as they all echo the same trend.

FYI. I've tried products like TSDoctor, and VideoReDo on damaged rips, but so far I've not managed to fix a single rip (these products are still in beta). The original rips will play with a bit of pixelation, and you can get to the end of the movie, so the streams aren't that far gone. Not sure what the ultimate solution is apart from just buying another BD.

[jdobbs]

@KillingTime

I've never experienced that problem, and I've done an extremely large number of discs. Unfortunately, though, even if I wanted to address it, there's really not a lot I could do. I can't even think of a way I could intervene and even know that the error is there. The actions taken during decoding (frame serving) and encoding are really something out of BD Rebuidler's control. The frame serviing is done by AVISYNTH, FFDSHOW and HAALI, and the encoding is done by X264.

I guess the bottom line is that when you feed garbage in -- you are going to get garbage out. It's just a question of what kind of garbage.

[Tongariro]

I was trying to do full back-up to Transformers 3 With Keep HD is on. the result is that the audio is 2 out of sync from chapter 3. this is really weird becuse the movie starts O.K but after few chapter the audio start to slip up.
the Movie was ripped by anyDvd.
i also tried to keep all audio stream (not just the True HD one) with the same result.
by now i did dozens of movie with no problems. this is my first problem for a long time.
using 39.01 latest version

the True HD is very importent to me thats why i want to keep it untouched.
THANKS

It came out to 8.89GB ... All my other back up were fine beside this one, and other one was oversized too! But we'll take care of this one first!

[jdobbs]

I was trying to do full back-up to Transformers 3 With Keep HD is on. the result is that the audio is 2 out of sync from chapter 3. this is really weird becuse the movie starts O.K but after few chapter the audio start to slip up.
the Movie was ripped by anyDvd.
i also tried to keep all audio stream (not just the True HD one) with the same result.
by now i did dozens of movie with no problems. this is my first problem for a long time.
using 39.01 latest version

the True HD is very importent to me thats why i want to keep it untouched.
THANKS I have that movie and I'll do some testing. But I'm pretty sure I've backed it up without any issues. What are you using to play it back?

I did a full backup to BD-25 of Transformers 3, kept the HD audio, and the audio was perfectly in sync. This was region 1 for me. :cool:
Was there pre-processing? Was the blanking option used? :confused:

@aquanash

Finally got around to ordering "Hobo with a Shotgun" so I can test out the sync issue you reported. I should be getting it in the next couple of days. I'll let you what I find. This is definitely a weird one. I'm not having the exact same problem as you (sync issues) -- but definitely a problem. I can't get either DirectshowSources() or NicAudio to recognize the demuxed audio stream.

I did Hobo to BD25,BD5 and DVD5 and had no sync issues with any. WinXP with LAVF always selected.

I just finished a full BD-25 in blank mode of transformers 3 myself. Skipped ahead to see for any sync issues. 90min in, audio still perfectly in sync

I do the full backup of TF3 perfectly, the only difference with my backup is i do it without the HD Audio (Core only, i never preserve the HD audio), seems like you have an issue with the tools required for bdrebuilder, the first backup i do with bdrebuilder was TF2 and i find the same issue that you describe (sync issue with the second audio track, in that backup i preserved the HD audio, because that was my first backup and i created only for test purposes, another issue with that backup was a pixelation i some scene changes, like 5 times during the movie), all that problems were solved with a fresh install of the tools and unistalling codec packs.

Cheers!

jdobbs did you get my post?

[jdobbs]

jdobbs did you get my post? Yeah. I don't own "Lion King" yet and frankly my donations aren't even coming close to covering my losses in purchases... and I'm having trouble justifying any more "only for testing" buys. I bought three new movies for testing this week alone (none of which were movies I personally wanted) -- and have to balance that against a single donation that doesn't even cover one of them.

So I'm not sure how long it will be before I can test it. In the meantime I guess I can look at the code and see if I can find an error in my sizing algorithms. But that's about all I can do. Sorry.

[xterminater]

Oh no problem at all ^_^. I didn't know if there were too many posts and you missed mine by accident! For these testing only backup that you need to confirm, why don't you just go to blockbuster and rent them to test and return the bluray? I know this is "pirating" but it's not like you're distributing these back up and making a profit, you're just using your wits but do not have the financial to do so. I don't think it make sense for you to buy everyone's failed backup and testing them because that is absurd, and cost a ridiculous amount of money!

My fault for veering off course.

[Chuckwagon]

I have run across an issue, that I know was reported a few months back, where subtitles are always on. I was making a "Movie & Menus Backup" of Star Trek VI to a BD-25 and the completed backup has subtitles on even though they are set to off. I looked at those older posts but I didn't see if any resolution to the issue had been found. Was there any resolution to this issue, or would you like me to provide additional info to help track it down? If it hasn't been resolved I'd be happy to make more back-ups to see if it helps.

[xterminater]

Jdobbs its ok np.. That just my 2 cents. Do you think it has something to do with it detecting dif frames in that bluray? I have noticed before when I did a backup with usually 3 audio track(commentaries and main) it goes over to 110%, then at the end it come to 100%.

[worknstiff]

@ xterminater n RE: It came out to 8.89GB ... All my other back up were fine beside this one, and other one was oversized too! But we'll take care of this one first!

Thanks To: omegaman7's post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1530828&postcount=13211)
I've noticed with some Blu Ray discs, the output size is sometimes smaller than ~22.5Gb by about the same size I've blanked. E.g. blank 1Gb, and it's 21.5Gb. So yes, the output size is somewhat erratic. However, I find it to be within reason. Ones that I've blanked, with NO_REENCODE, and then rerun through Bd-rebuilder, yield a better output size. Haven't tried star wars. I'm a trekkie :S

I had replied that I was getting consistantly undersized or oversized output also using Movie & Menus & Backup mode. I started doing like omegaman7 suggested. Run Movie & Menu mode with target set at 50,000. This results in keeping the original video, no recode, and only takes about 20 or 30 minutes to finish. Then run it back thru BD_Rebuilder in full backup and set to whatever you originally targeted for the size of your backup. This has worked for me and always gets really close to the target I set for 24,200 size. I always get 98% or 99% of the BD-R disk full. It works great and it's worth the extra 20 minutes to not spend hours getting undersized or especially OVERSIZED output. Many thanks to jdobbs for this great peice of kit, and thanks to omegaman7 for his tip.

@ Chuckwagon RE: Subtitles Always On - Was this resolved?
I seem to get this problem at times where BD_RB changes the order of the subs that are kept and turned on in the finished encode. The last one I did was, "A Better LIfe", which had the #1 English sub turned on. Instead the disk played the always on screen #2 sub. I don't know why the order of the subs were changed but if you run the finished encode back thru BD_RD again and select the #2 sub as the one turned on it will only take 20 minutes to fix the problem. Good Luck, worknstiff

I have noticed before when I did a backup with usually 3 audio track(commentaries and main) it goes over to 110%, then at the end it come to 100%. I had to add some new code for adjusting sizing prediction as parts are blanked/unblanked. I'd bet the problem is there. I doubt that the audio selection is the problem since that's been unchanged for quite some time. I'll fix it.

I previously reported that True Blood season 3 had this issue on full backups to BD9, which I believe you confirmed. The problem did not happen on movie only backups to BD5/9 though. I guess that's why I said "seem to remember"... so that's why I had that disc sitting on my hard drive. ;) You say I repeated it? Hmmm...

[Edit] I just went back through the threads. There was a problem with DTS decoding on True Blood (which I fixed via DirectshowSource), but I don't see where I could repeat a problem with subtitles. I'm not even sure how that could happen since they are simply demuxed and remuxed (unless resized).

You could try, A Better Life, in Movie only BD9, set 2nd ENG sub to on and it will end up with 1st ENG sub on.

I've never been able to repeat this -- and I always keep all subtitles on all sources. Are you preprocessing in any way? I seem to remember that as the issue in previous reports.

I was able to figure out what was happening, at least with this disc. It turns out that subtitles are always on, there isn't really a "none" choice, even though that choice exists in the "settings" menu on the disc. There are 3 English subtitle tracks on the disc, and when "none" is selected, the disc is really using the 3rd English subtitle track, which only has subs for when an alien language is being translated, like when a Klingon is speaking.

On my setup BDRB is only keeping 1 subtitle track for each language (is that the default setting, I can't remember) and in this case, since the disc seems to force subs on all the time, the one it keeps is the one that always has text for all the speaking parts. If the 3rd track is manually selected instead of the 1st one, then things behave "normally." So for this disc, the solution would be to keep at least those two subs tracks instead of only one for English.

I don't know if this solution works for the other discs that have shown similar behavior, but it seems worknstiff also may have seen a similar solution, where it's just a matter of which sub track the movie would normally be forcing on, one that has text all the time vs one that only subs intermittently.

So my issue is resolved, but I don't know if this fixes the other's subs always on issues.

[MrT.]

is 18.6 GB considered an undersize concern? The original video was 33 GB (target BD-25). Settings was on auto and it did (easy) but two passes. This was VC-1, I think I did another VC-1 BD a month ago and it also outputed 18.6 GB.

So my issue is resolved, but I don't know if this fixes the other's subs always on issues. Thanks for the analysis and feedback. Now it makes complete sense. When subtitles are removed, the references to them aren't actually removed -- only the subtitle stream itself. In order to prevent "goofy" behaviour (by BD-J or pre/post commands), the references to removed streams are kept intact but are all modified to point to the first kept subtitle stream. So when yours tries to turn on title 3 -- it's actually turning on title 1.

While it's completely legal to do it that way, the more common method is to have a single stream of subtitles -- but set the "force on" flag for instances that are required (like foreign languages such as Klingon). That's probably the reason this happens so rarely. I personally never see it because I always keep all subtitles.

Unfortunately there's really no way I can think of to know when this is being done.

If it reencodes and comes out to 18.6GB -- yes, it is a concern. If it says "keeping original video" and comes out small then no, because it is simply using the original video size and the undersize is due to removed tracks. If I understand correctly yours is reencoding. That means there is a problem.

[Chuckwagon]

Thanks for the analysis and feedback. Now it makes complete sense. When subtitles are removed, the references to them aren't actually removed -- only the subtitle stream itself.

That's probably the reason this happens so rarely. I personally never see it because I always keep all subtitles.

Unfortunately there's really no way I can think of to know when this is being done.

It seems like this should be an uncommon occurrence, so if it cannot be "fixed," at least we know how to work around it. And so long as the behavior is known, the next time anyone asks about it they can be pointed in this direction to try to deal with it.

Just spitballing here to see if there's any way to deal with this. When there is more than one subtitle track for a given language, and the setting to "Limit to one track for each language" is set, how does BDRB decide which single track to use? (Also, is that the default setting, to keep just one track? I forget if I set it that way or not.) I noticed when I play the original disc that the player defaults to the 3rd English subtitle track. Is that behavior set by the disc itself? How does the player know the right one to use? Is that something that BDRB could see and use to decide which track it keeps?

[MrT.]

There was 3 Vid_'s, (00301,02,03) that BDRB did not choose to blank, I figured this was due to their size, 2,377.77(25min), 2,027.89(49 min) and 1,893.73(20 min) MB. I forced blanked them. They are Extra's "The making of". If it's not the size, why else would they not be blanked by BDRB?

I think the blanking is based on the length in time of the given playlist, not on file size. The BLANK_THRESHOLD= value in the config file will determine at what length the blanking will cut in. It's in seconds. So, for example, if it is set to BLANK_THRESHOLD=1800 it will blank any playlist shorter than 30 minutes. If you want only the main movie, set it to something like 4000 and unless you have an extra that's REALLY long, it should blank all but the main movie. If that isn't right I'm sure JDobbs will correct me. :)

[MrT.]

I see..I edited my post and inserted their play times. Changing the threshold to 50 minutes would be good in my case?

[Chuckwagon]

If all of your extras are shorter than 50 mins, then I would assume it would blank them all and leave just the main movie.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a new release of BD Rebuilder (v0.39.02). Changes for this version:- Updated SD to HD 1280x720 processing to keep
the 23.976fps rate when inverse telecining is
in effect rather than create a 59.94fps stream.
- Improved IVTC method for MPEG-2 sources.
- Added a hidden setting that will allow output
of 480p @ 23.976fps on sources that were IVTC'd.
Note: While this mode works on almost all
players, it violates the BD standard and should
only be used with that full knowledge. To enable
set "SD_PROGRESSIVE=1" in the OPTIONS are of the
INI/Config file.
- Corrected an issue in which telecined MPEG-2
sources may not always be IVTC'd when the IVTC
option is selected.
- Corrected an issue that could, under very rare
circumstances cause audio desynchronization on
telecined sources.
- Corrected a rare instance in which the CLPI
packet count variable could be wrong for menus
that have been reencoded.
- Fixed an issue in which multipart DTS sources
may not encode to AC3 correctly when movie-only
output is selected. Rare but possible.
- Updated checks so secondary video will not be
unnecessarily run through X264 when the hidden
option "FORCE_NOENCODE" is set.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r2106).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r2106).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

For those who like a challenge and are anxious to finally get DTS-Express secondary audio tracks working -- I need your help.

I have implemented the ability to reintegrate DTS Express tracks into the latest version of BD Rebuilder (v0.39.02). But it still needs work, so I've limited it so it is enabled only through a hidden switch.

In my testing I have found that it works correctly when playing back on some players (both of my Samsung standalone players) but fails to play on others (Sony BDP-S360). I have gone over the code and files exhaustively, and I'm at a loss as to what is incorrect about the implementation. So I'm asking for your help. Please test it, dump it, scan it with other software, anything. If you pick up on any clues as to what might be dodgy about it -- please post what you find.

To enable the DTS Express code, add "DTSX_ENABLE=1" to your config/INI file. Note also that this fix is designed to correct any issues with in-mux IGS streams that are as well, but I've not done enough testing of that feature to determine its effectiveness yet.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

[MrT.]

@jdobbs, thanks for the update!
@chuckwagon, I entered BLANK_THRESHOLD into config and used 4000, the 3 files were blanked :) I'm gonna try again, hopefully the finished product is 20-21 GB, give or take.

Edit 22.0 GB ! :) thanks for the guidance, guys.

Although the Sonys were brilliant as the first machines which handled BD-9 on a range of discs, and which I started with, I have long since moved to other players and found much better playback. Even now the Sony still struggles with some branching discs, and with PiP in general, so would the first logical step be to see on what players your code works? Given most machines handle bd-25, we could then see if the Samsungs are the exception, or the Sonys?

[xterminater]

@xterminater

When you did the movie-and-menus backup of "Lion King" did you use the blanked selections set by BD-RB, or did you do any additional blank/unblank editing?

The blank setting used by dvd-rb removed some extra features that I wanted so I did a preview of what I want and unblank the ones I wanted. I didn't do anything else outside of bd-rb. I just tried another back up of an asian bluray but it's oversized as well.

The Sony plays the original fine -- so I'm convinced there is some (probably minor) inconsistency in either the M2TS, the CLPI, or MPLS of the backup. I'm just not sure what it might be. I've been going over it without finding anything wrong for over two weeks now, and I decided I need some help. There comes a point at which you're too close to the code and it becomes difficult to see what's right in front of you. I'm hoping someone is either smarter than me or has access to a verifier or some other software consistency checker that might point me in the right direction.

What I was suggesting is that even without this feature, I do find that some titles don't play properly on the Sony. There are several branching ones but from memory the original Star Trek series have problems when converted to bd-9. When you play an episode with a combination of new CGI and original, the audio suddenly vanishes when changing and then comes back again later. The bd-9 play fine on other non-Sony machines. Therefore it may be related to the same issue.

I'll gladly test the DTS-E option. Glad you finally found a way to do it. I've got plenty of discs waiting to be tested. I'll get to work asap. Check your PM to take your pick for a test disc.

** Edit: something that i've already noticed is that combined with the blanking feature, the preview message doesnt always get updated. normally when you preview a blanked feature it changes stream number, however with 39.02 it didnt and sometimes stayed at the first stream till it finally updated to another stream and from that point on updated like it should. "Extracting A/V streams: ....", preview itself was unaffected. Maybe that is part of the problem? **

[colinhunt]

To enable the DTS Express code, add "DTSX_ENABLE=1" to your config/INI file. Note also that this fix is designed to correct any issues with in-mux IGS streams that are as well, but I've not done enough testing of that feature to determine its effectiveness yet.
Fantastic, thank you! I have quite a pile of players here; I'll start testing this ASAP and will report on how various players coped with it.

[Capsbackup]

For those who like a challenge and are anxious to finally get DTS-Express secondary audio tracks working -- I need your help.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope.

I will test it out as well, and will let you know my findings. :)
My only two players are a Sony BX1 and the S360, so my results should be similar to yours! ;)

[drmih]

I have the following PiP Discs and will make my way through them - let me know if any have already been tested.

[Capsbackup]

First test is with Wanted, and though it reencodes and successfully makes a backup to BD-25 and burned to a BD-RE, the results are the secondary video plays on my S360, but no secondary audio is heard. :(
The DTS-HD Master audio is heard, and the volume of this track does lower during playback at the correct time that the secondary audio file should be heard. But no secondary audio plays.

Note: At least for Sony players, you must change the settings for the audio playback to "Mixed" rather than "Direct" for PiP/secondary audio to work correctly! ;)

@jdobbs

Original Blu-ray disc shows secondary video as "Profile HIGH 3.2", while BD-RB conversion shows secondary video as "Profile MAIN 3.2".

Does this have any bearing on playback of PIP/DTS Express?

[aquanash]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a new release of BD Rebuilder (v0.39.02).

Just wanted to report I re-ran "Hobo with a Shotgun" with this new version and audio is out of synch exactly as with the previous version.

[setarip_old]

For DTS Express testing on my SONY 360:

Just completed a 25Gb (BD-R, to make certain no disparity vis-a-vis BD-RE) backup of "Source Code". Results were similar to those noted by Capsbackup. Secondary video appeared and behaved properly, but was silent. From what I was able to discern, the primary audio was not diminished at all.

Just to "keep 'em honest", I also made a "BD9". The results were as disappointing as I expected (based on past results with other PIP Blu-rays (NOT DTS Express) - no audio whatsoever (Not even available with the remote) and empty PIP frames.

[SquallMX]

I don't know if it matters but DTSXTEMP.avs is buggy, "frames" is not a argument for BlankClip.

BlankClip(frames=6,fps=23.976, stereo=true, audio_rate=48000)

The correct one should be:

BlankClip(length=6,fps=23.976, stereo=true, audio_rate=48000)

Otherwise dummy AC3 is mono 32ms instead of stereo 250ms. :helpful:

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs

Original Blu-ray disc shows secondary video as "Profile HIGH 3.2", while BD-RB conversion shows secondary video as "Profile MAIN 3.2".

Does this have any bearing on playback of PIP/DTS Express? No, it wouldn't. Likely the only difference is that some feature unique to HIGH profile (4x4 transform maybe?) was used in the original that wasn't in the backup.

[jdobbs]

Just wanted to report I re-ran "Hobo with a Shotgun" with this new version and audio is out of synch exactly as with the previous version. Yeah, I'm working on that one. The playlist's first M2TS has video that is longer than its audio -- but has the same start time. I have to modify BD-RB so that it adjusts for that possiblity when the multipart playlist has a connection_condition that doesn't require sync between the parts. This is the first disc I've ever seen where that is the case.

Otherwise dummy AC3 is mono 32ms instead of stereo 250ms. :helpful: Ok. I'll take a look at that. But it really doesn't matter. It's just creating a placeholder there that will be updated to match the DTS Express profile after it is reintegrated. I'm probably going to change the way that works at some point anyway. But that was a good catch.

[colinhunt]

Ran a Full Backup of Stand By Me (EU, Sony) using High-Speed BD25 option (2 passes). It finished a few minutes ago, and I ran the first playback test using a Dune HD Max directly off the encoding PC's shared directory over CIFS/SMB. I first set Dune's audio Setup to allow PiP mixing, and the Full Backup appears to be working perfectly; both the PiP image and its DTS Express audio play fine. I'll burn the backup on a BD-RE next and start testing it in stand-alone players.

edit: Something interesting happened on the PS3 (old Fatty one, disconnected from the 'net). Note: this might have something to do with me using a BD-RE disc.

I started the movie by selecting PiP commentary in Special Features Menu. When this feature is selected, disc plays a brief video clip of the meeting of the director and a couple of actors, followed by the actual movie. Now, PiP video and audio are both already active during the clip but contain nothing (same on the original disc) so only main video and audio are playing. When movie starts, PiP window pops up at the 10 second mark approximately.

On the PS3, playback was interrupted at approx. 1 minute into the video clip with a message "This Disc is Invalid". I returned to PS3 XMB and restarted the disc, selected PiP commentary under Special Features and used the Next Chapter button to skip the video clip to start the actual movie. Again, after approx. 1 minute playback is interrupted with the "Disc is invalid" error message.

Same thing happens on the newer PS3 Slim.

edit: No problems on a Sony S470, PiP worked beautifully. Ditto on an LG BX580 (surprise, because it's a piece of crap player).

edit: It's a no go on an Oppo BDP-83. Loads Main Menu but once PiP is selected and the video clip is supposed to start, player gets stuck at 0:00:06.

edit: First attempt on a Philips 9500 resulted in PiP video playing OK but audio was from movie. Went to player settings and switched HDMI audio to AUTO, restarted disc playback, and both PiP video and audio play fine.

[setarip_old]

Just completed and burned a 25Gb Full Disc backup of "Band of Brothers" Disc 1 Episodes 1 and 2. Each episode contains TWO DTS Express audiostreams - one for an interactive "field guide" (including some PIP movies and video) and the other for PIP (with video inserts) commentary by the real life heroes of this series.

Playback on SONY 360 yielded results identical to my earlier test using "Source Code" - each of the two types of secondary video (inserts) displayed properly, but without any secondary audio. Primary audio continued to play with no noticeable volume reduction.

[jdobbs]

Interesting... from the reports I've seen so far it is only the Sony players that previously had issues with PiP on DVD-9 that are seeing issues with the reintegrated DTS Express now. It's gotta' be some minor difference. Unfortunately I've been comparing the original and the copy and that difference hasn't shown itself yet.

I've completed two Universal titles, The Mummy and The Thing, to bd-25. I've tried them on a Sony, LG, Samsung and Panasonic. The only one which played the PiP with audio was the Panasonic. All played okay, and produced the PiP window at the correct time. I'm now trying non-Universal titles.

I will try other models but to date:
Sony 360 / LG BD370 / Samsung C6500 + D8500 / Panasonic BS-750

Ran a Very Fast 1-pass (ABR) Full Backup of Risky Business (EU). Secondary audio is Dolby Digital Plus instead of DTS Express, actually.

Something appears to have gone wrong with Seconday video (PiP video stream). While the PiP window opens properly, the video is quite riddled with artefacts during horizontal movement. Here's the relevant bit from bd-rebuilder.log:

I'll run another encode of this using high quality settings tonight and will burn it on a BD-R tomorrow. I'm pretty sure PS3 issues are caused by BD-RE.

Did you make sure the audio settings of all players were set for PiP audio?

No - it was a bit rushed when I got in this evening. I will check again later.

[Ch3vr0n]

For Anyone out there using a Panasonic DMP-BD85 or similar device. Below are my settings. In the setup menu go to audio. The top 3 options are in my case set to "bitstream" and the bottom option below the long text "BD Video Secondairy Audio" i think it is labelled, set to "on". My PiP's work flawlessly with those settings.

[SquallMX]

Tested Ridley Scott's Robin Hood Latin America Blu-ray (PiP and Multiangle):


TotalMedia Theater 5 plays everything OK
PowerDVD 11 don't play the PiP Audio
PlayStation 3 plays PiP audio and video but with occasional hiccups, and skips the first 2-3 seconds of each M2TS with PiP causing temporal freezing even during normal viewing
Media Player Classic Home Cinema can not render the M2TS files
BDInfo reports the M2TS files with PiP as corrupted or encrypted


:helpful:

Even in this alpha stage is more compatible than DVDFab solution :cool:.

[drmih]

I'm not sure if there is anything to learn, but I have done The Mummy with the latest version and DVDFab. With BD-Rebuilder, on all bar the Panasonic so far, I don't get the secondary audio, but DVDFab has always got the audio correct but never shows the PiP. Therefore is there something which can be compared between the two to look for differences?

ps Off topic a bit but the copy done with BD-RB suffers from lots of motion glitches / blocks of pixels even though bd-25.

I may be mistaken, but I don't believe Universal uses DTS Express for its "UControl/PIP" activity...

Ran a Full Backup of Stand By Me last night, using Highest (Very Slow) quality setting; all other settings were the same. Burned it on a BD-R and played it on a PS3 Slim. Playback was interrupted by a "This Disc is invalid" error message exactly like it was on the BD-RE disc after approx. 1 minute of flawless playback.

[colinhunt]

Did a Full Backup of Animal House (EU, Universal); Very Fast, 1-pass CRF to BD25. Same thing happened as with Risky Business: PiP video is riddled with artefacts. Like Risky Business, Animal House original is VC-1 for both main feature and Secondary video. Something else I just noticed while playing Animal House: with U-Control activated but no PiP on screen, I could not rewind the movie. Pressing the rewind button on the remote simply paused the image for a second before movie resumed normally. Hammering the rewind button several times confused the player which suddenly skipped all the way to the end of the disc.

[setarip_old]

@colinhunt Something else I just noticed while playing Animal House: with U-Control activated but no PiP on screen, I could not rewind the movie.

1) With a burned disc copy or a hard drive copy?

2) What player?

[colinhunt]

1) With a burned disc copy or a hard drive copy?
Both. Tested first on PowerDVD11 over LAN, then burned on a BD-RE.

2) What player?
Philips 9500, Philips 3000 and LG BX580. Rewinding actually works on the LG but main video shows same kind of picture break-up artefacts as the secondary video. If there was main video glitching on the other two stand-alones, I didn't notice it.

edit: Played the BD-RE on a Sony S550 a moment ago. Glitches in both main and secondary video, and PiP audio is not playing even when HDMI audio output is set for Mix instead of Direct.

[drmih]

It is slightly concerning about the glitches as I noted this on The Mummy but was concentrating on the PiP functionality.

[color43]

I used the new DTS Express switch to backup Star Trek The Original Series season 1 disc 1. The disc uses seamless branching and has a PIP for commentary. The PIP commentary with DTS-E audio plays fine on my Sony BDP-S370 player.

There are two minor issues though
1. The discs use two angles to show the updated special effects and the original footage. If I have the PIP commentary ON and change the angle, it causes my player to either freeze up or skip to another scene. This doesn't happen on the original in the exact same spot.

2. I burned a BD-R using ImgBurn and it reported some messages about the M2TS files I haven't seen before:

These are really minor though, I can finally backup my Star Trek Blu-rays with the PIP audio commentary intact, thanks JDOBBS.

I've just tried the following to bd-re (I always use the Highest Quality setting for encoding):

Terminator 2 - Ultimate Edition -> Problematic blocking on main movie. Only Panasonic handles PiP with audio. Samsung and Sony just show image with no audio.

Harry Potter 7-1 -> PiP only worked correctly on Panasonic. On Samsung there was strange popping on audio before PiP occurred. When the PiP happened, the audio was garbled and PiP was in wrong position (top left rather than bottom right). On Sony it was the usual case of PiP with no audio.

[colinhunt]

It is slightly concerning about the glitches as I noted this on The Mummy but was concentrating on the PiP functionality.
So far the glitching has been limited to discs that use VC-1 for both main and secondary video... right?

[colinhunt]

Did a quick Full Backup of Battle: Los Angeles (CEE) using 1-pass CRF and "Faster" preset. Playing the BD-RE on a Philips 9500 right now; PiP video and audio are fine. The player has some problems reading a BD-RE (my 9500 won't play most BD-R discs...) which is causing some pauses in the movie. I'll verify on another player later today the pauses are not in the encode.

So far the glitching has been limited to discs that use VC-1 for both main and secondary video... right?

Just checking it does seem to be the case that they are VC1 / VC1. I was thrown by The Thing, which is also VC1 / VC1. However checking it was just over bd-25 and the main movie wasn't re-encoded. Therefore the only one which is okay is Harry Potter which was AVC / AVC.

I've just done Animal House (a Universal title) to bd-9. Again suffering from glitches / blocks but I wouldn't say any worse than a bd-25 disc.

Just for clarification, are you also seeing the glitches in the main video? On some discs I'm even seeing glitches in the menus - on my bd-9 version of Animal House I see lots of blocks on the Universal planet sequence at the start, then on the language selection page and then the 'blu-ray disc' menu leading up to the main selection.

[colinhunt]

Just for clarification, are you also seeing the glitches in the main video?
Yes, on VC1 / VC1 discs. Glitching that could be described as severe blocking, both on main and secondary video. Haven't seen it on any AVC/AVC discs, so far.

On some discs I'm even seeing glitches in the menus - on my bd-9 version of Animal House I see lots of blocks on the Universal planet sequence at the start, then on the language selection page and then the 'blu-ray disc' menu leading up to the main selection.
I haven't been paying attention to menu background video, but I will from now on. All my tests have been for BD25.

I used the new DTS Express switch to backup Star Trek The Original Series season 1 disc 1. The disc uses seamless branching and has a PIP for commentary. The PIP commentary with DTS-E audio plays fine on my Sony BDP-S370 player.

There are two minor issues though
1. The discs use two angles to show the updated special effects and the original footage. If I have the PIP commentary ON and change the angle, it causes my player to either freeze up or skip to another scene. This doesn't happen on the original in the exact same spot.

2. I burned a BD-R using ImgBurn and it reported some messages about the M2TS files I haven't seen before:

These are really minor though, I can finally backup my Star Trek Blu-rays with the PIP audio commentary intact, thanks JDOBBS.

The CPI definitely gets changed by the DTS-Express code. When the DTS Express is added to the M2TS the SPN values change and the table has to be updated. I'll look and see if there is something goofy happening there. The fact that there is PiP and Angles might make a difference.

[drmih]

I can confirm that I have seen the same messages from IMGBurn when burning bd-25 of discs to test the PiP functionality. I assumed that it was a disc issue rather than BD-RB, as I ran IMGburn independently.

Yes, is Robin Hood (the one with Russell Crown), contains theatrical and director's cut using multiangles and has a PiP containing interviews with Ridley Scott, more specifically is the G52 edition (for Latin America and Eastern Europe) with 10 audio tracks and 25 subtitles. The US release is similar in specs but with only 4 audio tracks and 6 subtitles.

I'm using ImgBurn 2.5.6.0 with "Reset 'Copy Permission Indicator' Flag" checked, I will burn the disc without to see if anything changes.

I have "Reset Copy Permission Indicator" set on mine too. I think that is the default -- or at least I don't remember ever setting it.

Simply untick that "Reset 'Copy Permission Indicator' Flag" box under Options and you won't see those messages anymore. I haven't seen any adverse effects from unticking the box.

I have seen that on the only two discs I burnt to bd-re.

The CPI definitely gets changed by the DTS-Express code. When the DTS Express is added to the M2TS the SPN values change and the table has to be updated. I'll look and see if there is something goofy happening there. The fact that there is PiP and Angles might make a difference.

I just ran a new encode with my Star Trek BD's. This time I used Season 1 Disc 3 which has four episodes. Two have a PIP commentary track with DTS-E. The disc uses seamless branching and has two angles. I'm getting the M2TS message in ImgBurn and switching the angle while the PIP is on causes issues. The PIP and DTS-E audio play fine as long as the angle is not changed during playback. This time I have all the log files:

Frequent and continuous pixilation and image breakup on title "Inception" on latest build of BD Rebuilder. 39.02 Source is VC-1. Never had this happen before on any title, any source or build.

Defects are obvious when played on Cyberlink PowerDVD software player, Sony BDPs300 and Sharp BD-HP70u from the burned BD-25 .
Playing the mounted iso has defects in the exact same places as playing from burned disc on the cyberlink software .
Playing the original BD shows none of the defects and playing a mounted image of the ANYdvd rip is also clean.

Also, another title "Of Gods and men" which was a MPEG-4 (AVC) source was run with BD reb 39.02 without the problems previously described.

I'm presently running the same job "Inception) VC-1 source on 39.01 and comparing the VID_xxxxx.AVS.264's to the 39.02 files by playing them in the cyberlink player, I'm finding no pixilation or breakup in the avs.264's created in the older version. Compression ratio is aprox 40g/24g. I'm expecting the resulting burned BD-25 will be fine as well

Just realized I've used x264's internal LAVF for every VC-1 encoded title. Perhaps this is a bug introduced in the new build of x264? I'm going to run another backup of Animal House using FFDshow instead of LAVF.

I'm looking at the .inf and .ini and I'm seeing "USE_LAVF=0" in either case.
Is there another way to tell if that has happened?

Well, this is very interesting... because the second backup of Animal House finished a moment ago, and viewing the output on PDVD11 I can't see the severe blocking artefact in either main or secondary video. I simply unticked the "Use LAVF" box under BD-RB settings and made sure FFDShow was configured correctly for VC-1. I'll burn the data on a BD-RE next for testing on stand-alones.

[drmih]

I haven't changed any of my settings (but checking LAVF seems to be the default) and only get 'blocking' on PiP titles which are VC1/VC1 - I have done none PiP titles with the latest version and they are okay.

Just done Green Lantern (which is AVC / AVC PiP) to bd-9 - works fine on pc using TMT but not on any standalone players (panasonic won't play bd-9). Also got the 'Reset CPI flag' when burning the disc.

Thank you both for your input.

I've noticed that you update to a newer version, the settings are retained. I don't think I ever had the LAVF setting checked, as I think early on when I first experienced the inability to recode to AC3, I tried to find all the advice I could about the settings in general. Seems as I recall I unchecked it from the start. But then again, I never had a video problem. No burning problems either. Only audio and I still can't get it to work which is too bad because I have an extras feature I would really like to burn to a 4.7 DVD.

Just tested the "Inception" with 39.01 and everything is fine. Can swear that I didn't have LAVF checked in 39.02

@Everyone

Remember, this DTS-Express code is very new and (as I said in my post about enabling it) is known to have issues. That's why the enable switch isn't documented and isn't used unless someone has decided to test it. The point never was that it is ready to go -- only that I need help in finding what's wrong. I hope everyone keeps that in mind. If you are burning to anything other than a BD-RE with that switch enabled or think this feature is anywhere near "ready for primetime" you'll likely be disappointed.

We're very grateful to be able to test this and get any bugs ironed out. If I did switch on LAVF, it must have been months ago and I have not had any issue with it, but I will try the next PiP test with it off.

If LAVF is having issues it is likely doing so independently of PiP. But... PiP could theoretically also cause playback issues since it is modifying the muxing.

I think the concern is the blocking on the main video with VC1, rather than PiP functionality, which everyone knows is a work in progress. I haven't seen problems with non-PiP discs, but there was a suggestion that there might be.

[colinhunt]

Played the Animal House backup (no LAVF, no DEINTERLACE, 1-pass CRF) on a Philps 3000. I didn't see any blocking in main or secondary video - but rewind and fast forward are still inoperative. Rewinding only pauses the image, and fast forwarding leads to disc skipping over the movie all the way to the end of the title. I'll check to see if only this player is affected by the REW/FF issue.

edit: No problems with REW/FF on Oppo BDP-83. (Oppo is falling apart; it accepts commands from remote only once every 3 seconds... I'm sure this has nothing to do with BD-RB :) )

edit: REW/FF also OK on a Sony S550. I guess Philips 3000 is simply very picky.

@Everyone

Remember, this DTS-Express code is very new and (as I said in my post about enabling it) is known to have issues..

@jdobbs,
In my efforts to try to discover something that could help with the DTS Express problem, I notice that TsRemux ( not tsMuxeR ) appears to allow remuxing of the DTS Express audio. Could there be any beneficial information gained by analyzing it's finished remuxed file and comparing it to your own?

[jdobbs]

Could there be any beneficial information gained by analyzing it's finished remuxed file and comparing it to your own? If I remember correctly it acts as if it does remux it, but if you look at the output stream it isn't actually there. I looked at that some time back thinking that I could use TSRemux to recombine it.

[Ch3vr0n]

I have to agree that VC-1 is more prone to blocking/graphic glitches then AVC or that other one. Just did Hulk (2003), won't say the glitching is severe but it does suffer from it quite a bit

[sonate]

LAVF is not the default. If it is checked -- you had to check it.

@Everyone

Remember, this DTS-Express code is very new and (as I said in my post about enabling it) is known to have issues. That's why the enable switch isn't documented and isn't used unless someone has decided to test it. The point never was that it is ready to go -- only that I need help in finding what's wrong. I hope everyone keeps that in mind. If you are burning to anything other than a BD-RE with that switch enabled or think this feature is anywhere near "ready for primetime" you'll likely be disappointed.

Just to clarify, the movie in which had the blocking and breakup was VC-1 but didn't contain DTS Express. Audio was DTS hd xll.
switch was not enabled and though the defects occurred with 30.02, the same settings in 30.01 yielded a flawless compression.

[colinhunt]

Risky Business (no LAVF, "Use DEINTERLACER" enabled, 1-pass CRF; VC1/VC1; Dolby Digital Plus for secondary audio) plays without glitches/blocking on PDVD11 over LAN. Earlier backup with LAVF enabled resulted in glitches/blocking in at least secondary video.

edit: viewed a few minutes of the earlier backup; main video looks fine but PiP video is riddled with glitches.

[drmih]

I think the LAVF is a red-herring. I have just redone Terminator 2 - Ultimate Edition with LAVF switched off and there is still blocking on both the main and pip - perhaps not as much as previously, but still there. Once again the CPI Flag is reported by IMGBurn.

Once again the CPI Flag is reported by IMGBurn. Are you sure it isn't your playback device/software? I'm also not getting a clear picture as to whether (or not) the playback issues are related to using the DTS-Express code???

Is anyone else (besides sonate, colinhunt, and drmih) having playback issues?

Are the playback issues (if they are there) happening only with the DTS Express switch?

[colinhunt]

Are the playback issues (if they are there) happening only with the DTS Express switch?
I'm going to run another backup of Risky Business without the DTSX line in BDRB ini. The output might tell us something.

[drmih]

I have checked the original image on the HDD and it's fine. The blocking appears when using TMT, and I have also burnt to a bd-re and it can be seen on three different standalone players. I have actually got screen grabs to show if they are any use. On Terminator 2 the blocks appear right from the beginning credits.

I have also done non PiP discs without switching the DTSX option off, and I haven't seen any issues with those discs, but I will check in greater detail

[jdobbs]

Ok, so it does seem to be happening only when the DTSX switch is set for you two. That makes more sense. I was getting confused.

@sonate

It sounds like something is interfering with the VC-1 decoder. Try uninstalling and reinstalling BD-RB, AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW.

[sonate]

I have no idea what those numbers are. Are you talking about v0.39.2?

No my version number says v0.39.02(beta) that's what I was referring to as per http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1534495#post1534495. The breakup in "inception" is present on the newest version of Bd Reb and not on the previous. I have no idea why you don't see it. I'm merely presenting my experiences as a courtesy to you. Take it or leave it. I really don't want to get into the "who is at fault" thing again. I never ever meant you any disrespect, I only have praise. But now I'm feeling like I'm bothering you again.

No bother at all. I'm just trying nail down the cause. Can you please do a complete uninstall/reinstall of BD-RB and it's helper apps just so I can eliminate other software interference as a possible cause?

One other thing you can try (after the one above)... is replacing X264.EXE with the one from the previous version (v0.39.01). That at least would confirm/eliminate the new X264 version as a cause.

[BobFloyd]

Hi,

Anyone any ideas why whilst trying to backup Megamind (using 0.39.02) BDRB only sees the main movie when I select DVD9 as the target size?? Otherwise, I get the "target is too small..." error.

The image appears fine (41.5Gb) and can play no probs.

Oh, should say this only happens with "Full Backup", movie only seems alright.

Cheers

[markinca]

My typical method for backing up my blurays is to load up the movie in DVDFab; if it's larger than 25GB, then I rip movie only, and then compress with BD Rebuilder and have never had any problems.

Recently though, I bought the Star Wars bluray set, and I wanted to make a full backup of the 3 extras discs. The 2nd of the discs was smaller than 25GB, so I ripped and burned that without a problem.

However, when I ripped the full disc of the other 2 discs, and did a full-disc backup with BD Rebuilder (39.02), it would not play on my bluray player (Panasonic DMP-BD65).

Is there something I should be trying? Thank you.

Cheers I'm pretty sure I know what's causing it. It's a condition of the User Operations masking that makes BD Rebuilder think the feature is a menu. A dumb mistake on my part, luckily it is very rare. I've fixed it for the next release.

[jdobbs]

Don't. I'm fairly certain it has no effect. I ran one backup with DEINT disabled and it made no difference. It isn't used unless the source is interlaced.

The problem is that I'm certain I saw glitches in main video on one of the earlier backups - but I don't remember which one! From now on I will keep better notes on the results. Also, as you can see from Wizard of Oz, the glitches do not necessarily run through the entire movie which makes this even harder.

[colinhunt]

It isn't used unless the source is interlaced.
Yeah, I know... I was just going through the variables and tried changing that option on a whim.

[drmih]

Thanks - I've just aborted Terminator 2, but not before I identified the usual glitches were present.

[Ch3vr0n]

Just did an encode of "The Fast & The Furious", full backup (non-blanking). Pip is severely pixellated, audio is totally out of sync, pip doesnt play smooth at all. Neither does the u-control tutorial. Main movie also pixellated at point, sometimes more then other. Main movie also has 2 pip streams. What bugs me though is that a scan of the ripped content sais the codec is VC-1. When i scan the final ISO, everything has changed to AVC (mpeg 4). Is that the cause. IVTC is selected, deinterlacer is not.

Very weird.

[colinhunt]

Added the result of using x264 from 0.39.01 in 0.39.02 to do a Full backup of Animal House to my post listing various encoding results.

Using x264 from earlier BD-RB got rid of glitching in secondary video.

[Ch3vr0n]

I'll run a test on TF&TF using that x264 build aswell later today and post back results.

[colinhunt]

What bugs me though is that a scan of the ripped content sais the codec is VC-1. When i scan the final ISO, everything has changed to AVC (mpeg 4).
Well, x264 is an AVC encoder; it won't output VC-1. So when the source is too large to fit on the destination (BD25 or whatever) as-is, video streams need to be re-encoded and the output is always AVC when using x264.

IVTC is selected, deinterlacer is not.
I would do another run with IVTC disabled, just to make sure. I had a couple of encodes in the past where IVTC messed things up so I disabled it and haven't used it since.

[jdobbs]

Thanks - I've just aborted Terminator 2, but not before I identified the usual glitches were present. They're in the same spot? That sure sounds like it is occuring during frame-serving... which is usually an indication of a CODEC issue.

Very weird. Always try it with DTSX_ENABLED=0 if you're having problems. I'm pretty sure the pixelation will go away. It's likely a muxing/timing issue.

[Ch3vr0n]

I got a backup already on BD-50 that's working fine. The reason i want a new backup is the ones that i have now are verbatim branded double layers. On all my other backups are printables, so once i've done a backup i print a disc label on it, insert a HR scan of my original retail box cover and it looks just like an original :). I'm not doing a single layer and lose the pip audio. I may just as well use the branded dl then. I don't like loosing out on stuff

[colinhunt]

Added info on another run of The Wizard of Oz using x264 from 0.39.01; no glitching in main video. It certainly is starting to look like x264.exe packaged with 0.39.02 has issues decoding VC-1 sources using LAVF.

[Shylock]

Using BD-RB for more than a year now. Never had any issues so far. Experiencing now the same blocking glitches with VC-1 sources (Jurassic Park Trilogy - Zone A).
Using BD-RB 0.39.01 and LAVF on JP 1: no issues
BD-RB 0.39.02 and LAVF on JP 2 an JP 3: Blocking on all the encoded x264 video.
i'm rolling back to the previous version of x264.exe and testing.

I rarely use LAVF and that is typically only in testing, which would explain why I haven't seen any issues in my encodes.

[Ch3vr0n]

I'm re-running TFATF with the x264 from 39.01, will report back on the pip quality and audio sync issues

[drmih]

I have just run Terminator 2 with x264 from 39.01 and there is no sign of any blocking, and I have past the point where it had always occurred so far. Considering that I have tried with and without LAVF on the x264 version with 39.02, and got blocks on both, it looks to be totally down to the x264 version.

[Capsbackup]

Never noticed any blocking issues on my encodes, regardless of BD5/9 or BD-25. Never have even tried LAVF! ;)

[colinhunt]

Added Animal House on vanilla 0.39.02 with LAVF enabled and DTSX disabled. Glitches in both main and secondary video; now checking earlier runs for glitches in main video. Start of chapter 28 is a good checkpoint.

edit: checked start of chapter 28 of earlier runs. Results speak for LAVF issue with VC-1 sources in the x264.exe packaged with BD-RB 0.39.02.

Using x264.exe from 0.39.01 appears to solve the video glitching issue.

[colinhunt]

I think I've heard enough to agree. I rarely use LAVF and that is typically only in testing, which would explain why I haven't seen any issues in my encodes.
Even if you had tested with VC-1 sources and LAVF extensively, you might still have missed main video glitching because it is not visible all the way through the movie.

[colinhunt]

Considering that I have tried with and without LAVF on the x264 version with 39.02, and got blocks on both, it looks to be totally down to the x264 version.
Hang on. You get blocking even when using FFDShow instead of LAVF? That's not what I'm getting on 0.39.02.

[jfcarbel]

Trying to figure a way to backup Spiderman 2.1 title, but it has 2 playlists for main movie. I only want the extended cut and menus.

Tried making note of the extended cut playlists m2ts streams, then selected full backup and had edit mode on, but when I tried deselecting the titles from the theatrical cut playlist it deselected them all including the extended cut ones.

Not sure there is a way to do this in current version, unless you can create hidden option for an advanced edit mode where we can blank any title without validations on.

Is there any current way to do this with current version? Could I maybe do a full backup and then after the backup just replace the m2ts streams for theatrical cut with with the dummy m2ts streams.

Or is there a way to blank by playlist? A better option might be to select playlist wanted and keep menus.

[drmih]

Hang on. You get blocking even when using FFDShow instead of LAVF? That's not what I'm getting on 0.39.02.

Yes, check my post #13392. The only one I have not seen blocking in the opening studio credits (I'm still running it but have checked the m2ts) is with the x264 executable replaced. That is with LAVF enabled.

[Ch3vr0n]

I can confirm that the x264 from build 39.01 fixed the glitching and smoothed out pip video on TFATF. However it did not fix the out of sync audio. What do you want me to try next. A rebuild without LAVF or without IVTC (i recon the first as i did not see any IVTC messages during the rebuild)

[jdobbs]

I've been able to confirm glitches when using LAVF on VC-1 (Bourne Supremacy). I haven't been able to find any issues without LAVF (the same encode is glitch-free), but I'm still testing. I'm going back one X264 release (to r2085) to see if it repeats there.

[Ch3vr0n]

any idea on my audio sync issue?

[jdobbs]

any idea on my audio sync issue? Not unless it is similar to the "Hobo with a Shotgun" issue.

[colinhunt]

any idea on my audio sync issue?
Do a quick run without IVTC; it's done odd things to my encodes in the past.

[Ch3vr0n]

@JD: nope, the audio is out of sync for the pip. Main movie is fine (i think, deleted the iso already). I'll run another without LAVF first, since i've seen no IVTC messages in the log. Backup is a full backup (not the menu's & movie mode)

[drmih]

Just checked Terminator 2 which was done with LAVF enabled but with the earlier x264. Everything is fine on the copy and in TMT on a PC, and on a Panasonic standalone, the PiP works fine. On a Samsung and Sony the PiP audio is missing. Got the usual CPI Reset Flag warning from IMGBurn for the disc.

Disabling LAVF didnt fix it either. I skipped a long time you can hear the pip audio long before the pip stream even starts, then when i skipped a while ahead the audio has already stopped but you can see the pip stream (director) still talking. Something's off for sure

@Jdobbs: forget about my TFATF issue. Somehow i thought the directors comments was the option that would enable the pip stream. It wasnt. It was the U-Control feature. Playing the original backup, enable U-Control and the audio for the pip was running straight from the disc. Somehow the Pip audio from the ISO would not be found by PowerDVD, some flag got changed? Took the chance and burnt the ISO to disc, pip stream (with the previous x264 build) was running smooth and audio was in sync, running from my standalone DMP-BD85. I inserted the burnt backup into PowerDVD again and it wouldnt play the pip audio either. Is some flag getting changed that prevents pip audio to be found in certain cases?

I've looked at everything I can think of and have compared the original MPLS, CLPI, and M2TS against the backup. I've found nothing yet.

[Ch3vr0n]

Wish i could help you there, but there has to be something that's causing this behavior. a 1:1 backup has auto-audio, the shrinked (full backup, not movie & menu's) doesnt. Powerdvd doesnt "find" the audio to output it, though if you rightclick in the video stream and go to pip audio, the stream is selected. You just don't hear it.

[drmih]

Have there been any suggestions yet why PiP re-encodes trigger the Reset CPI Flag in IMGBurn?

[Ch3vr0n]

They don't always do. I've had multiple burns with re-encoded pip that didnt trigger that message. Besides you can safely disable the "Reset Copy Permission Indicator Flag". From the official IMGBurn source: http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=6232

Reset Copy Permission Indicator Flag

This option will reset the CPI (Copy Permission Indicator) flags within M2TS file packets when you create an image/disc in Build mode.
This was a request from someone at a duplication plant to save them having to mux two projects - one with AACS and one without.
The 'Reset Copy Permission Indicator Flag' feature automatically disables itself if the compilation includes an 'AACS_bd' or 'AACS_mv' folder in the root.

The flag is located under settings > build > page 2 > Left side, bottom checkbox under "Blu-ray Video"

[drmih]

I know how to stop it but from my experience it has been 100% those discs which are PiP re-encodes. I have never had it on any of the hundreds of none PiP discs I've done. As far as I can see it is only on the M2TS files which contain PiP from the STREAM directory. It must have some significance.

[Ch3vr0n]

Didnt you read my previous message

This was a request from someone at a duplication plant to save them having to mux two projects - one with AACS and one without.

It only matters if you're running a blu-ray duplicator machine

[drmih]

We're trying to discover why the PiP functionality isn't working correctly, or at least not on the majority of stand alone players. Nobody has been able to identify what might be wrong with the structure but at least for me, and others, the first sight of this IMGBurn warning has only occurred on re-encodes with PiP and DTSX. You may have done many discs which disprove this, but I haven't.

Rather than question people's capability to read, perhaps you can suggest why we are getting this message for the first time on these re-encodes.

[Ch3vr0n]

Well that message has been there WAY before bdrb had DTS-E capabilities, i doubt its related to it.

IMGBurn Version 2.4.3.0 * Release Date: Apr 2, 2009

Added: Option to have ImgBurn reset the CPI flags within M2TS file packets as it creates an image/disc in Build mode - this was a request from someone at a duplication plant to save them having to mux two projects - one with AACS and one without.

I doubt BDRB had DTS-express capabilities in april 2009. If i havent misread its working properly on the majority and not on some and atleast odd on PowerDVD sometimes it finds the audio sometimes it doesnt. JDobbs already stated he compared the related files and doesnt see anything different

[sparky99999]

Has anyone completed a movie only backup of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides [Blu-ray] (2011)? I'm working on my third attempt. If it fails this time will post log in my next post.

I keep seeing mentions of a movie and menus option but not seeing as a option under mode.



Yes I have completed a movie only backup of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides no problems.;);)

If i havent misread its working properly on the majority and not on some and atleast odd on PowerDVD sometimes it finds the audio sometimes it doesnt. JDobbs already stated he compared the related files and doesnt see anything different Thanks for the links. I think I know what's up. When I reintegrate the DTS-Express packets I don't modify much (only the arrival timestamp and DTS/PTS values) -- so the flags aren't being modified. I'll look at it. The CPI (Copy Permission Indicator) is the first two bits of each M2TS packet, so it should be easy enough.

I got confused when I saw those messages. There is also a CPI table (Characteristic Point Information) in the CLPI file. Since I modify the CLPI's CPI Table for DTS-Express I assumed it was talking about that one... but that second link clarified it greatly.

I should have known better, the error messages specifically reference "packets". Duh...

:thanks:

[Edit] Nope... I just looked at the packet merging algorithm and I'm clearing the CPI. Hmm...

Hi! We're trying to discover why the PiP functionality isn't working correctly To be more precise, as per jdobbs' request, we should be assisting him in trying to discover why the DTS Express audio (used in conjunction with SOME PIP video), doesn't function properly when played on some standalone players (SONY BDSP 360, for one).

You should note that there are some Blu-ray discs that present PIP Video/Audio without the use of DTS Express audio - "African Cats" is one such example. The simplest, most certain way to determine whether your disc contains DTS Express is to load the decrypted version into BD-RB and scroll through the listed audiostreams...

Thanks for stating the obvious. Having been inputting to this thread from pretty much the start, I didn't find it necessary to go into the minutiae of details when everyone knew what I meant. In fact, I believe that I was the person who originally flagged up the problem with bd-9 / U-Control Universal discs / DTSX audio issues on Sony players which lead to this in a round about way - but that was early 2009 and I've lost track.

[Ch3vr0n]

Well i've backed up the first 3 fast & furious movies now, all of em have DTS-express movie 2 and 3 so far even have multiple dts-e streams (3rd one even has 4), and u control works just fine here with a full disc backup

I'm still finding every M2TS stream which is re-encoded with PiP is triggering the message. I've just done a disc with multiple M2TS files, but only one containing the movie, and that was the only one which had the flag message.

Pity that it wasn't an indicator of anything else. Do you have any thoughts of how we can try and find a trend?

So far we seem to have confirmation:

Standalone:
Panasonics work fine, but have never accepted bd-9
Sony / LG - handle PiP but without secondary audio.

PC Players:
TMT plays all discs fine.

By the way, you mention Samsung in your response. Both of my Samsung standalone players (BDP5500C and BDP5900) handle the PiP perfectly (including audio).

I've got four different Samsungs so I'll check them all as the two I have tested didn't work - they were combined freeview / HDD / blu ray players.

[Ch3vr0n]

That would indicate that drmih's samsung player settings arent configured properly to use the secondairy audio. As i said in a post a few back, i can setup my panny player in a matter of seconds to only show the video and not use the secondairy audio. So there must be a setting in the samsung player (and probably the LG and others too), that has the same effect. If the player isnt configured properly to use the secondairy audio, it wouldn't matter if you selected to display it or not. It's just gonna ignore the audio

[drmih]

You definitely have to set "Mixed Output" to "On" on the Samsungs to get PiP Secondary audio.

I have checked and get the following:

Samsung BD-5900 / Samsung BD-C6500 - work fine
Samsung BD-C8200 / Samsung BD-D8500 (both HDD/Freeview/Blu-ray) - No secondary audio heard.

I can't see any obvious difference in settings but if anyone has had joy with one of the ones I haven't, let me know the settings.

As I understand it, if you are taking a hdmi to a panel, then it should work fine out of the box - the mixing settings are more to do with the optical output to the amp.

[Ch3vr0n]

output device is irrelevant. My player is hooked up to my TV with HDMI, the TV is hooked up via fiberoptic cable to my logitech Z-5500. That means my player feeds the audio to the Tv, the tv forwards it to the surround system. The pip audio works just fine, straight off the disc. If i play a disc and active the pip stream on it, the audio plays directly. Temporarily disable it and the main audio instantly takes over, activate the pip again and the pip audio takes back over. So it would seem that either your C8200 and D8500 just don't like the pip streams or your settings are off

Try this drmih: http://samsungplasmatvfaq.com/index.php/PIP#Activating_PIP

I can't confirm this samsung guide as i only have 1 player and thats my panasonic

[drmih]

Thanks but that's information regarding the PiP functionality of the TV rather than the blu-ray. I'll have another check of the two samsungs that don't work.

[BobFloyd]

I'm pretty sure I know what's causing it. It's a condition of the User Operations masking that makes BD Rebuilder think the feature is a menu. A dumb mistake on my part, luckily it is very rare. I've fixed it for the next release.
Excellent, will look forward to that! Amazing work, just amazing.

[jdobbs]

Yes, is Robin Hood (the one with Russell Crown), contains theatrical and director's cut using multiangles and has a PiP containing interviews with Ridley Scott, more specifically is the G52 edition (for Latin America and Eastern Europe) with 10 audio tracks and 25 subtitles. The US release is similar in specs but with only 4 audio tracks and 6 subtitles.

I'm using ImgBurn 2.5.6.0 with "Reset 'Copy Permission Indicator' Flag" checked, I will burn the disc without to see if anything changes. I'm looking at the US version of this disc. No PiP or secondary audio at all.

[SquallMX]

I'm looking at the US version of this disc. No PiP or secondary audio at all.

Weird acording to the High Def Digest review:

http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/3415/robinhood_2010.html

Director's Notebook — This is essentially a bonus view feature available only on the Theatrical Version of 'Robin Hood.' While watching the film, the screen suddenly moves and allows behind-the-scenes footage to play alongside the movie in a smaller window. We are also privy to Ridley Scott's hand-drawn concepts, called "Ridleygrams," and interviews with the filmmakers. Viewers are allowed to click on "Jump to Gallery," where we can look at the same stills collected in "The Art of Nottingham" separately.

Maybe the US version use a totally different video track for the Bonus View instead of using PiP?

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs I'm looking at the US version of this disc. No PiP or secondary audio at all. Same for me.

IIRC (and that's a BIG "IF"), there were several different U.S. versions available...

[Capsbackup]

I'm looking at the US version of this disc. No PiP or secondary audio at all.

I have the Unrated Director's Cut, which has 2 versions: the unrated directors cut & theatrical version. This one does have the Directors Notebook, which does seem like a PiP, but it is a multi-angle/multi-m2ts to create the PiP effect. There is no secondary audio, only the DTS-HD Master. :cool:

Interesting, so the Universal release is different than the international one. I will try a US disc, if I recall correctly Green Lantern has both multi-angle and PiP :thanks:.

Problem with Rob Roy R1, on movie and menu only, when tested the menu text comes up and is functional but the background image is missing. The movie menu background image appears to be in 00941.m2ts

This title uses a static background, that is, their is no moving video.

In the logs it is showing the blanking of video 00941 for movies and menus only mode.

I tried to use BDInfo to see what playlist is using 00941. But BDInfo is only showing about 10 playlists while the playlists folder on disc is showing many more. Is there a reason BDInfo is not showing all the playlists?

I tried copying the 00941.m2ts file and its clipinf file to the backup and it did not work and caused issues. Is there a way to add the files it needs back in without redoing the whole backup?

Yep, I have had other titles also. Premonition R1 is another, while that one had a moving menu missing as background. But in all cases the menu is still functional.
I redid Premonition as Full Backup and in this case the menus did work. So it only seems an issue with movies and menu mode.

How about yours, was the menu still functional?

I am curious as to how Bluray handles first play, that is, what determines what streams display first and which ones are the menu. BDInfo is not showing all playlists so not sure how to dig deeper.

It would be nice to find out what the problem is :D Seems obvious (to me anyway) that the background animation or backdrop was blanked. BD-RB is pretty good at identifying menus -- but it's not perfect yet. Sometimes (especially when the action is controlled via BD-J) it isn't obvious.

Just find the background that's been blanked and unblank it.

Well, I did explain it in the same post as the one that says how to enable the "Movie-and-Menus" test. But here it is again... double click on the title (in the streams list) and you'll see "Edit Mode" appear. You can then right click on any stream and blank/unblank its playlist (which may include other streams). You can also preview it (to see if it is the right stream) by selecting "Preview" (rather than blank/unblank). The ones that have been preselected to be blanked by "Movie-and-Menus" will be "grayed out" in the list.

I was aware of what you meant by unblanking it. However, in this case it would mean another 6-7 hour rencode as well for the main movie stream.

What are the options to avoid that? That is, is there a way to just copy some files from the original source to get it working?
For me, I tried the stream and its clipinf file, but not sure if I am missing something else.

C'mon. I explained very clearly that the movie-and-menus mode wasn't "ready for primetime" -- that's why it's disabled except for those who read this thread and want to test it. You apparently decided to test it, assumedly knowing it needs more work -- but now are complaining because it isn't perfect yet?

I'm a little disappointed. My hope would be that the folks who decided to test it would "help out" by reporting their experiences -- but have a little patience, as this isn't an easy task in blu-ray.

You typically can't just "copy files" because there can be interconnections between CLPI/M2TS sets via MPLS references. All three have to be updated accordingly.

If you go back a few posts jdobbs you would see that i was reporting my experiences with the movie and menu mode and my question wasnt answered,and my question in no way was a complaint.

In fact I wanted to dig deeper to see if I could assist more but I lack understanding of how bluray handles first play and menus.

I do know this feature is not ready for prime time and if a file copy workaround is available I have no problem doing that when issues occur until its resolved. But it looks like this is alot more complex then I thought so that would not be an option. I would like to dig into the internals more to see how its all interconnected, but it seems BDInfo is not a tool that would be able to aid in this. Are there other tools I can look at for exploring a bluray discs structure and organization?

If there is anymore info I can provide to aid in diagnosing the issue then please let me know. I am one of those who also donates multiple times, so I don't take your work for granted and I think while the blanking and movies and menu is not ready for primetime, its working pretty darn good already.

If you click on "Settings" at the bottom in BDInfo, and check "Filter Playlists With Length <" and put 1 sec., that is the best you can get. ;)

Yep, that showed more playlists, oddly the 00941 stream was in none shown. Since its a static background, I bet the stream is even less then 1 second possibly. Unless it can be used just by BD-Java without a playlist.

Perhaps that's the issue is that BD-Java static streams with just a still image are not caught. Not sure if this is going to be something BD-Rebuilder would be able to catch.

Perhaps this means if we see a bd-java title to make sure to check all the extremely short streams via edit mode. But, I think we cannot go by filesize. While this file was bigger then most short streams in size, its video duration was only 750ms.
So perhaps it might also be useful in Bd-Rebuilder to list the duration of the video stream.

@jdobbs;
I have not had much success with using the blank feature to blank warnings. For me, they don't show up in BD-RB. :confused: As jfcarbel states, some streams are not shown.
Alternately, if I open the original Blu-ray or the BD-RB backup with multiAVCHD in re-author mode, every mpls/m2ts is visible.
Of course with this option to blank anything does bring about potentially more problems, but with a little practice I have had success. :)

[sfcav]

I've seen several comments in various posts on PredictAndEncode errors, but not the one I'm getting.

I have a captured mpg file that plays fine and is clean by TSDoctor, but when I try to shrink it with BD-RB I get the above error as soon as Reencoding starts. I've tested two RB versions (0.39.01 and 0.39.02) and get the same error. I've successfully used BD-RB with similar files in the past so why it's happening now is a mystery (at least to me).

thanx for quick reply will check later when encode finishes :D

[1Bullet]

with version 0.39.02 just started noticing the following as well.
My last 2 Blu ray rip are slightly larger than a standard single layer BD disc. So I use BD rebuilder to resize ( I have changed the name of the label).

This film had only one video and one audio DTS MA 5.1 and no subtitles after my rip. I have my BD-RB audio setting boxes first 2 and the last one checked in BD rebulder (in short BD rebuilder is to leave audio alone ?)
So if the video was not reencoded and the audio was not renecode. How did the move shrink 1.3 gb. and notuse the X264 encoder?
I have seen this now twice with this version, but I have not watched them yet.

My answer is probably going to come from demuxing both the video and then audio track on the orginal file and the completed BD rebuilder file, as something became smaller.

[jdobbs]

I guess I don't see the issue. The log shows that the video and audio both were kept intact. So the process happened as it should. It's likely there was something else in the source M2TS other than just the audio/video you saw. It's easy to put in NUL packets or an unreferenced audio track (for example) if someone wanted to make the M2TS a little larger and force dual layer.

Bottom line: The log shows BD-RB did exactly as it should. After it demuxed what was requested it saw that no reencoding was necessary, and it didn't reencode.

You are right demuxed both audio from the orginal and BD-RD and same size. My first thoughts were BR-RB was encoding the Audio track. Unfortunatly I have never come across the null packets until this build.

[jdobbs]

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with links to a new version of BD-RB (v0.39.03). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which under certain rare
circumstances a main feature could be seen as
a menu -- and the feature may not be listed in
the streams list on BD-25 or unwanted audio may
not be removable.
- Corrected an error in experimental DTSX code
that could cause M2TS files to not fall on
proper aligned unit boundaries.
- Updated CLPI correction routine to modify the
TS_recording_rate value after updates to the
M2TS by experimental DTSX code.
- Fixed an issue related to arrival_time_stamp
rollover that incorreclty set permission bits
in packet headers (DTSX experimental code).
- Added a SETUP option to cause an audible "beep"
when a job is complete.
- Added a feature in which batch mode will not
overwrite existing output folders, but instead
add a suffix to the output title.
- Added a new AUTO_TWOPASSONLY hidden option. By
setting this value to "1" you can prevent the
automatic quality selector from ever doing one
pass ABR encoding.
- Regressed the included version of X264.EXE to
a previous release (r2085) due to reported LAVF
decoding issues.
- Regressed the included version of X264-64.EXE to
a previous release (r2085) due to reported LAVF
decoding issues.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Ch3vr0n]

Sweet to see my "audio tune" request to be implemented ^^

** Edit ** wanted to test the new version so i ran the Mamma Mia disc (that was previously rebuilt with the glitchy x264). When previewing stream 00124 (that was auto selected to be blanked) the following error occured

http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7302/bdrberror.png

Is it because the source file is mpeg2

[1Bullet]

The log shows less than a second in the audio encoding phase, indicating it had to have kept the original.

On both previous rips of mine as mentioned before, I can not burn with nero for errors for a corrupt file. This is only happening with the to 2 rips with possible null files.

I have just started with .0.39.03 and it is now encoding the video where in .0.39.02 it said encoding not required?

Problem now appears to be resolved with v0.39.03 however need to see what is the result at the finish in about 4hours.

[jdobbs]

That's definitely odd. Did you by chance reinstall FFDSHOW, HAALI, & AVISYNTH in the interim?

[jdobbs]

@Ch3vr0n

MPEG-2 shouldn't make a difference. But I'll dig up and MPEG-2 and see what I find.

[Edit] I just did a couple of MPEG-2 files, so that's not it.

Do you have MKV_INTERMEDIATE=1 set in your INI file? I wonder because I see the 00000.MKV alternate interim name was used in the encode. Normally that only happens when the video is has less than 24 frames of video or is a still video. What kind of information does the log give on that file?

As you can see in the file name its video 00124. Pre encode it you get that error for all of the small video's (124.125.126.140 etc) and the logfile indicated nothing. The weird thing is that POST encode , mpc COULD play the AVS script and the only entry in the log is - Extracting video streams [VID_00124]. Its a 2 frame, copyright notice

ps: owyeah how exactly does the new "beep" work. Cause i've had to run out unscheduled when the iso was burning. Does it play the imgburn file or can it be replaced by a custom one?

ps: owyeah how exactly does the new "beep" work. Cause i've had to run out unscheduled when the iso was burning. Does it play the imgburn file or can it be replaced by a custom one? Right now it just plays the system default "beep" tone. I guess I can pull the WAV reference from the IMGBURN registry entries and play that back. It currently plays it when any job is completed (but not aborted, etc).

A two-frame copyright notice? Hmm... I'm thinking it should just ignore that and keep it intact. But it's been a while since I've played with that code, I'll look at it.

[Ch3vr0n]

The main thing is that the backup itself was succesful (no more glitching) so i'm happy either way. I'd have to re-rip the original for new processing. I think it's not the first time i've seen that kind of streams being selected for blanking. There's been a couple of discs where you first get a menu with bout a dozen rounded rectangles to selected your language. 1 frame is the menu with 1 option highlighted, the other is moving to the language of choice (think thats a frame) and selecting it. It then proceeds by playing trailers & stuff. The thing is that i have seen that menu (couple frames?) been selected for blanking in the past test, luckily i always preview selected streams or i would have ended up with a few unusable backups.

** edit ** the reason i'm referring to the imgburn sound (or a custom one) is that the default system beep (i was watching some tv when the iso was burning) will probably go by unnoticed. The IMGBurn sound however is rather decent, a small tune and with the proper computer volume set can be heard well above my surround sound coming from the TV notifying that the job is complete. Oh and i don't think there's a need to rely in IMGBurn itself, the sound is found (on a 64bit system at C:\Program Files (x86)\ImgBurn\Sounds filename: success.wav. So you could just implement it directly within BDRB and place it within the misc folder?

What's the purpose of that misc folder and blank.JPG file anyway?

@jdobbs

I just completed exactly duplicating my 10/24 (Post#133330) effort and burned another 25Gb Full Disc backup of "Band of Brothers" Disc 1 Episodes 1 and 2 - this time using v.39.03. Each episode contains TWO DTS Express audiostreams - one for an interactive "field guide" (including some PIP movies and video) and the other for PIP (with video inserts) commentary by the real life heroes of this series.

Once again, playback on SONY 360 was as follows - each of the two types of secondary video (inserts) displayed properly, but without any secondary audio. Primary audio continued to play with no noticeable volume reduction.

**Possibly important** Overlooked on my previous tests on my SONY 360 (but now confirmed for ALL, including this latest test using v.39.03):

Once PIP is selected, selection of SUBTITLES ceases to be available And perhaps more important, when the main video file from the ORIGINAL rip is loaded into VLC, it lists the DTS Express audiostreams as "DTS" - but lists the same audiostreams after BDRB processing as "A52(AC3)". Logically, this would seem to indicate some header or format differences between the audiostreams. On the other hand, "BDInfo" shows both sets (original and BDRB-processed) as DTS Express.

It probably sees the AC3 because a silent AC3 was used as a placeholder in TSMUXER. I'm probably going to change that for the next release since the placeholder isn't really needed anymore.

0.39.03, running a Full backup of Boarding Gate.

Processing stopped at 94,98% (overall) at an Error Condition:

BD Rebuilder experienced an error 1801 [21:23:11] ReencodeAudio()

The offending file was 00003.m2ts which has three LPCM audio tracks:

Processing was stopped after first of the three tracks had been encoded into Dolby Digital.

(Note: I can probably save the encode by making two copies of the one good Dolby Digital encode and renaming the copies as the two missing files, and then resuming the backup. It has worked before on this same issue.)

Oddly enough processing did not stop at VID_00001 even though it also has three identical LPCM tracks. Whereas WAV files for 00003.m2ts are 32 183 KB each, WAVs for 00001.m2ts are 73 561 KB each.


Another peculiarity I can see in WORKFILES:

00000.m2ts - 18 257 238 KB
00000.track_4352.1.wav - 4 193 345 KB

Since when has BD-RB started using ".1" and ".2" in filenames... or is that intentional?

[jdobbs]

Since when has BD-RB started using ".1" and ".2" in filenames... or is that intentional? It always has. TSMUXER creates those when it extracts LPCM that is longer than 4GB.

[Cedvano]

Hi, a thank for your software.

I have a problem with Jurassic Park Trilogy (European Disc).
There is 480i bonus viedo. And when I encode the files are larger than the originals, and the sound is shifted.

How to prevent it encode?

Thank you.

[colinhunt]

It always has. TSMUXER creates those when it extracts LPCM that is longer than 4GB.
OK, I never noticed that before so I had to ask :)

[drmih]

I think it was mentioned as being fixed in 0.39.03, but I'm still getting the 'Reset CPI Flag' from IMGburn on re-encodes with DTSX tracks.

[jdobbs]

I think it was mentioned as being fixed in 0.39.03, but I'm still getting the 'Reset CPI Flag' from IMGburn on re-encodes with DTSX tracks. Make sure you aren't mistakenly using the older version -- because I fixed that and it went away completely on my system. Of course you have to also make sure the burn is being done against a source that was completed by the new version.

[drmih]

I'm definitely using 0.39.03 and have done 6 discs so far with it. None DTSX ones give no message, but I'm just doing The Pacific (Discs 1 to 5 - 5 is still encoding) and 1 to 4 have all had the 'Reset' message. Full disc to bd-9. They play fine (with the exception of the secondary audio on Sonys).

[Rich86]

Version 39.03 - Win7Pro/64 box. When outputting movie only to alternate output (DVD-5) and including multiple subtitles, and choosing one of them as the default, the program still outputs the DVD-5 defaulted to no subtitles.
Today's Example: "XMen-1st Class" - included both english subtitles (full and forced for german/french dialog), set default for 2nd english subtitle stream (forced) - resulting DVD-5 has both subtitles, but defaulted to no subtitles. This is not a new problem to version 39.03, as I recall running into this before.
I think I fixed the title I was experimenting with using pgcedit - burning to DVD-RW now to test.

Update:
here is a portion of the BD-RB log . .
- Mode: DVD-5, 720x480/576, AC3 Audio
- Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640
- Subtitle [4] is defaulted ON.
The output DVD5 has 2 subtitles available - #0 & #1.
I added a "setstn" precommand for the title to force the default to subtitle #1 via pgcedit . .
Now it seems to work correctly.
A note: is the issue that the second english subtitle was #4 originally, and I only kept the 2 english sub-titles and BD-RB doesn't realize what was #4 in the source is now #1, and it didn't set the default?

I did notice that the AVISynth attempts to run the 32-bit version (This is a 64-bit machine/OS.) but that really shouldn't matter.

ANY help or push in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. I've been fighting this for over a week while I Waited to be able to post this and I've run out of things to try.

Thanks.

I did notice that the AVISynth attempts to run the 32-bit version (This is a 64-bit machine/OS.) but that really shouldn't matter.It does matter. By this statement I assume you're using the 64 bit version of AVISYNTH? You cannot run BD-RB with the 64 bit version of AVISYNTH.

It may be possible (I haven't tried it) -- but I would assume you'd have to have the 64 bit version of X264 running, 64 bit HAALI, and 64 bit FFDSHOW. I guess I'll have to give it a try to see.

Install only the exact versions (use the download links) that are linked in the first post of this thread and try again.

Thank you sir. I did what you suggested but need to get back to that point. I had a different error when I did but I guess I need to get back there.

The AVISynth that's installed is the version from the Shareware site (main site). I only did that after trying the alpha code which failed, obviously, and generated a wrong version in the BD Rebuilder interface results. As you can see on the command line output, it's running the 32-bit version so no problem there. I would have just assumed you'd build the batch file to run the 64 bit version on a 64 bit machine. No harm. No foul.

I can certainly understand why you want (and need) me to get back to point "0" but I really think I'm already there.

Anyway, I'll uninstall everything and start over tomorrow and report my results back here, regardless.

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

-bob There's more to it than meets the eye. You can't just "run the 64 bit version" without a lot more consideration. There are multiple moving parts involved here that depend upon each other.

Well for starters you could configure FFDShow the way it's supposed to as per post 1 instructions

FFDSHOW VC-1 set incorrectly: [0]

[jdobbs]

I think some other application has "stolen" the DirectShow CODEC interface for AVC. Do you have any "Codec Packs" or exotic playback software installed?

[sonate]

Older version of x264.exe does not produce the glitches and pixelation. Saw it incorporated in the newer version of BD RB.

Back to the old problem with xp and aften crashing. Went extreme and formatted a new drive and did a clean install of windows xp sp3 adding only mainboard and graphic drivers. Absolutely no antivirus or security progs, no codecs other then WMP11 and the AC97 hardware. Set all the required BR reb components to spec and ran a job and awaited to see the magical moment when AC3 audio encoding would actually happen. Well, the same error. I'm now left to thinking that it's either some setting or some obscure windows component which isn't included in the setup, maybe some runtime library component or netframework version ...... if not then I just don't know maybe the cosmic radiation. Sounds like the Bohrbug finds something attractive in my setting. I have been trying to observe the fault using Procexp, Ollydbg, and DrWatson32 but I can't decipher much of the reports.

Please again if there are any pieces of advice or help other than scrapping any hope, I would dearly appreciate.

Barring that, since I can easily convert DTS to AC3 using MeGUI or other apps, is there a way I can insert the converted audio into the workfiles and allow BD Rebuilder to rebuild?

Sorry. I missed that THIS time but that is NOT the problem. The results are EXACTLY the same. I just set it and ran it again.

That's what I see too but I can't figure out what did it. This machine is mostly just for doing this fcn. Let me dig some more. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[Rich86]

Version 39.03 - Win7Pro/64 box. When outputting movie only to alternate output (DVD-5) and including multiple subtitles, and choosing one of them as the default, the program still outputs the DVD-5 defaulted to no subtitles.
Today's Example: "XMen-1st Class" - included both english subtitles (full and forced for german/french dialog), set default for 2nd english subtitle stream (forced) - resulting DVD-5 has both subtitles, but defaulted to no subtitles. This is not a new problem to version 39.03, as I recall running into this before.
I think I fixed the title I was experimenting with using pgcedit - burning to DVD-RW now to test.

Update:
here is a portion of the BD-RB log . .
- Mode: DVD-5, 720x480/576, AC3 Audio
- Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640
- Subtitle [4] is defaulted ON.
The output DVD5 has 2 subtitles available - #0 & #1.
I added a "setstn" precommand for the title to force the default to subtitle #1 via pgcedit . .
Now it seems to work correctly.
A note: is the issue that the second english subtitle was the 4th originally, and I only kept the 2 english sub-titles and BD-RB doesn't realize what was #4 in the source is now #1, and it didn't set the default?

Another update: I reran BD-RB as a test, including ALL the subtitles and specifying the last one as "On" - but the created DVD-5 did not set any subtitles to "on" at all - I still had to add a setstn command with pgcedit to have subtitles defaulted to the 2nd english subtitles. Setting a subtitle to "on" when outputting to DVD-5 simply does not work at all, based on my testing.

Very easy to run the newly created DVD thru DVD-Shrink and have it force the subs on (takes about 2 minutes if no recode for size), at least when I used BD_Rebuilder it did have the forced subs enabled in the finished DVD.

@WilsonFlyer, RE: C:\Users\bobby>"C:\Users\bobby\Desktop\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe"

FWIW, I don't know alot about computers, but I don't know how many times I told my significant other, DON'T put programs or large downloads on your desktop. Yes, it will probaby run but windows is notorious about locking down the DESKTOP FOLDER!, and it might just help to have your working FOLDER on the root of C:/ also. Hope this helps

I was going to say !

[sonate]

Looking at a different version of Win XP on a friends computer and I noticed on the c drive both a WINNT and a WINDOWS directory exist. My understanding is that WINNT is a folder for a previous version such as win2k after an upgrade. WINDOWS is the operational Directory.

Now on all of my xp systems I have no WINDOWS directory, everything is contained in WINNT.

FWIW, I thought I would just run that by you in case it has something to do with the Wavi.exe or aften.exe crashes.

Running pgcedit to insert the correct pre-command for the title to force subtitles is very quick - and occurs in place - much faster than processing the entire dvd again. Not a big deal now that I know I have to remember to do it. I just wasn't aware that BD-RB was incapable of setting specified subtitles to "on" when outputting to a DVD structure.

It was off the root of C: since the first beta. I moved it to see if that would fix the problem.

Also wanted to ask you, what does the quality of the movie look like? How does it compare to the standard DVD of the same movie?

[wolverine3n8]

The few I've done were kind of blocky and not very sharp.

Big blocks, right?

[Capsbackup]

The few that I have tested, Blu-ray to DVD via alternate-output with BD-RB, have looked as good as if not better than the DVD. :)

[wolverine3n8]

I don't know what you consider big blocks, but they are noticeable. But going from a full bluray down to a DVD in size it's not bad.

[sonate]

Am I wrong to say that the results of converting a bluray to a dvd yields less quality than the production standard definition DVD.

[jdobbs]

My personal belief is that it will produce a result that is equal or superior to the DVD for most movies. This is mainly because the source is pristine (HD) and secondly because the encoder (HC Encoder) is superior to the hardware encoders typically used for DVDs. But I'm sure there will be exceptions. Sometimes the authors of commercial DVDs actually take their job seriously. When that happens they are hard to beat.

With that said... this is a bug thread -- let's get back on topic.

OK I had a few questions I posted, but allow me one more transgression.... watched a sddvd of Louis Malle's "Damage" on a Sharp BD player, I had to ask myself it wasn't HD.

I apologize - however - since I was the one discussing the BD to DVD process, I'd like to stick in 1 last statement:

The pq and aq of the DVD-5's I've made from BD sources using BD-RB have been absolutely excellent! No blocking, no artifacts, nothing problematic except feature issues we discuss in here. I'm not sure I can say definitively that they always look better than the commercial DVD release - but I can say for sure that the ones that I have compared to a commercial release of the same title were at least as good and often better.
I should add that I always sacrifice speed for quality - I leave BD-RB settings at the highest quality/slowest speed.

Damn, now it want to get the AC3 conversion working even more. Oh pox :(

Please anybody who worked through a similar audio encoding problem with xp, any suggestions will be welcome and appreciated.

[sonate]

OK, I am able to easily stream DTS through a pipe to create AC3 on any of my XP computers. I should have tried this sooner.

cmd script

bepipe.exe --script "import(^DTS.avs^)" - | aften.exe -v 0 -b 448 -dynrng 5 - output.ac3

At this point I feel we rule out that the problem is with stdin/out as an issue with my operating system. Aften.exe also is not inherently an issue.

Having trouble shrinking the 9th disc of the Star Wars saga. This disc has special features and I did it in full backup mode, but every time I get a 45+GB ISO output. I will post the log file as soon as I have access to it. Any ideas?

[setarip_old]

@owine

Hi!

I had no difficulty making a 25Gb backup copy of that disc (as well as the other 8)...

[drmih]

I also did discs 1 to 6 to bd-25, and 7 to 9 to bd-9 without any issues.

Strange, only thing I can think of is an issue with my rip, could it be that?

Strange, only thing I can think of is an issue with my rip, could it be that?

Here is my log file.


What is the problem? Based on your log, it appears to have completed successfully! :confused:

Can I use BDR to create standard DVD's (not BD) from BD's.

I could swear I could do this before but can't for the life of me, remember how. Selecting BD-5 generates a file format that is BD not DVD, it seems.

If you're in a region using the PAL standard, there is also the option to assume PAL in the setup dialogue

I have just done a dvd 5 (film only) backup from Blu-ray to dvd using BD Rebuilder V39.03, the picture and sound are great but the aspect ratio is wrong, there should be black bars at top and bottom instead the picture is stretched to fill the screen. I have used the 720x480/576 alternate output. Can I change the settings in HCenc to remedy this or is it automatic. I can alter this in VLC player but not on my TV or standalone player. Thanks.

Any changes to make to HCEnc would be overwritten by BD-RB. What disc is it? I can't imagine how the aspect could be incorrectly encoded. Can you post the contents of AVS file and the encoding command (LASTCMD.TXT)? Are you positive it isn't VLC Player that is the issue?

What disc is this? Is it an original disc? The size of the input looks suspect and if it an original disc the problem is likely that the source isn't a legal BD size.

It looks like the new POTA film which hasn't been released yet but there are some blu-ray rips around.

The Change-Up on 0.39.03 scared up a bug. The disc contains two versions of the movie, but instead of branching, they've included both movies as separate files on the disc. Shorter version of the movie is a single 19.9GB file while the unrated one is a single 21.4 GB file. Total size of the disc is 46.1GB.

I tried to create a Full Backup to BD25 while blanking out the longer version of the movie. Regardless, BD-RB began to encode the shorter version at a very low bitrate (7-something mbps), as if trying to fit both movie files in the BD25 backup.

Turn off "Quick Encode for Extras" if that is on.

[colinhunt]

I don't see a bug in what you're describing.
Hmm. Perhaps I've misunderstood how blanking works. I thought it would replace the larger movie file with a tiny m2ts placeholder, allowing the rest of the data be backupped with only minimal compression.

Not enabled; never used it once. It's too large to be replaced automatically. Logically someone might want to keep both versions of the movie. But you can do it manually with the editing feature.

I thought putting BD-RB into Edit Mode and selecting "Blank this Item" from the pop-up menu was exactly that. If not, I've obviously missed something. Could you elaborate, please?

Oh, I see: I forgot to mention in my original post that I used the Edit Mode and blanked the larger movie manually. I don't use Auto-blanking.

I wonder if perhaps the estimation of how large the input will be, and therefore how much compression will be needed, is being done when the auto blanking takes place but isn't updating as manual changes are made. Maybe this is why a few folks were having unexpectedly large or small resulting encodes. If they added titles back into an encode that auto blank had removed, the size estimate would not take that extra info into account and the encode would be too large, or if they removed titles that auto blank had left in, then there is an over-estimation of the needed compression and they end up with a smaller than expected result. Just a thought.

Colin, could you set the blank threshold time limit to be just longer than the shorter version of the film so that auto blank removes it and you don't need to do any manual edits? If that gets you a rebuild that doesn't try to compress the remaining stream, then try a rebuild again but add the auto blanked shorter movie back in and see if you get an oversized result. That might highlight if it's the manual edits that are not getting tallied for the input size.

I used the search tool for this forum and it universally indicates a bad rip. Re-rip and give it another go.

Might be just a bad disc. Swap it for a new one. Cars has been riped and burned to death so I suspect it has nothing to do BDRB.

[jdobbs]

"Cars" is one of my regular test discs. The only thing really unique about it is the large multi-part LPCM audio track -- which is the reason I have it on my "test list". It looks like you're attempting to keep the HD intact -- I'll do a couple of tests to see if anything has changed --you never know --but it's probably a bad rip or corrupt source. We'll see.

[ken7795]

Thank you for your help. For what it's worth, I was now successful after having limited the audio to only 1 track for English. Nonetheless, I would like to copy the disc in it's entirety if possible including the Commentary.

I apologize if this is not the right place to post this info, but I'm sure it will be moved if necessary. The purpose of the post is to pass on info I have found on another site that has been of great help to an admitted BD rebuilder neophyte (me). I could not find this info on Doom9 by doing a search.....but now maybe the next person looking will be able to find it....Anyway, BD rebuilder kept reporting that "failed video encode, aborted" when trying to do a backup on the movie "Green Zone". Although I was able to backup other BD discs before and after these failures, no matter what I did, the encode failed on "Green Zone"....that is until I found this info....."Most likely it is caused by VC-1 being disabled in FFDSHOW. Go into ffdshow configuration and under VC-1, change from "disabled" to "libavcodec" After I reconfigured the FFDSHOW.....my problem was resolved! Hope this info will help others as it did me! Thanks jdobbs for BD rebuilder!

Sometimes on very fast processors the frame serving portion of the process (AVISYNTH & FFDSHOW) can't keep up with the processor as it is actually reencoding.

You might try using LAVF for frame serving and see how that works out (under the SETUP menu).

Having a few sizing problems and didn't know whether to start a new new thread or post here. I tried doing Sorcerer's Apprentice last night and ended with a final size of 29.1 GB. Tried attaching log and inf. Are those the files you need to see? Thanks for any help.

-UPDATE- Ignore what I had posted here previously.

I've seen the same behavior on my X980. I just re-started an encode, and it looks as though x264 isn't even using the HT part of the cores, so only 6 of the 12 available "threads" are in use, and as a result Windows is miscalculating the total utilization. The threads that are being used bounce around 80-90%, which is pretty much fully utilized. So it seems the reported % utilized gets skewed because of the HT threads. Performance monitor doesn't properly assess the utilization. You can ignore it. :)

Your attachments haven't been approved yet, so let me ask, are you using Auto Blank? Are you manually adding blanked streams back into your list?

It may be unrelated, but I have noticed that if you look at the input size reported by BD-RB when it starts an encode, you will see that it does not update as you add or remove streams from the list when you use the Auto Blank feature and then manually add/remove streams. For example, I have just tested this with a 45GB BD, that reports an input size of 25.75GB if I have the blank threshold set to 3600. (Only the main movie gets selected.) If I manually go add back in all of the streams that got blanked, BD-RB still reports an input size of 25.75GB. But if I change the threshold to 600, the input size goes to 35.64GB, and even if I then manually blank all but the main movie, the input size stays at 35.64GB.

So, I'm assuming the calculation of the input size, and therefore how much compression will be needed, is taking place when the Auto Blanking takes place, and is not being updated as streams are manually added or removed. This results in over-compression for builds where streams are manually removed, and under-compression where streams are manually added. Or at least that's my theory. :)

[Carter]

but shouldnt use x264 even HT ? the utilised threads dont use 80 as well. Even when misscalculated with HT it shouldnt be shown as 25% i guess. i tried x264 HD Benchmark 4.0 and this one utilises every single of the 12 threads 100%

Keep in mind that the benchmark you used has the CPU priority set to high for x264, and threads set to Auto, which may change it's behavior from how JDobbs calls it. My point was that the windows reports cannot be trusted. Your system is probably running as it should for how the software is using it.

The high priority CPU setting certainly insures that not much else is likely to get done by any other programs while x264 is running, so maybe he doesn't fire it off that way to allow for other things to be going on. I don't know what CPU priority JDobbs has chosen, or if he sets the threads in some way other than auto, but I'm sure he can tell you. Maybe he has a way to alter that behavior that you could tweak.

-UPDATE-
After a little more playing around with both the x264_Benchmark_HD_v4.0 commands and the x264 command for BD-RB found in the LASTCMD.TXT file I think I may have narrowed down why x264 behaves the way it does. I removed the "--preset ultrafast" portion of the command found in LASTCMD.TXT and ran the command manually. It resulted in all 12 threads being utilized and nearly 100% utilization. So, I'm guessing there is something in that preset which causes x264 to only use 6 threads instead of 12, and not to use them at full bore 100%.

Also, you can change the preset, or remove it, which will result in more threads being used, and in them having higher utilization, but it doesn't result in faster encodes. So it would seem the answer to the problem is "x264 doesn't use more threads nor a higher CPU utilization than it does because it doesn't need to." You aren't leaving any CPU power lying on the table, so to speak. It uses what it needs to. :)

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs
Both "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Constantine" utilize PIP, but use E-AC3 audio instead of DTS Express for the PIP audiostream and both BD-RB backup discs exhibit the same wretched behavior on my SONY S360 as do all DTS Express discs thusfar.

Additionally, opening the ORIGINAL disc's movie .M2TS in tsMuxer discloses that the E-AC3 audiostream only is listed as the very last item, after all PGS streams - while the BD-RB backup lists it in the conventional last of the audiostreams, and before all PGS streams. Also, tsMuxer will not allow me to change the relative position of the E-AC3 audiostream to last place after all PGS streams.

Since tsMuxer cannot process (and doesn't display) DTS Express audiostreams, I cannot determine whether they also are ORIGINALLY placed after all PGS streams. If they are, it would be my guess that this placement is critical to the S360s processing of both types, if not all types, of PIP-related audio.
Finally (I believe I mentioned this previously about DTS Express discs), the ORIGINAL disc lists the secondary video as "Profile High 3.2", whereas the BD-RB backup lists it as "Profile High 4.1" (same as it lists for primary video for both ORIGINAL and BD-RB backup).

@ bobrap RE: Having a few sizing problems and didn't know whether to start a hew new thread or post here. I tried doing Sorcerer's Apprentice last night and ended with a final size of 29.1 GB

All you have to do is run BD_RB in "Movie and Menus" mode and use 50,000 in the setup for custom size. After you select what you want to keep or blank let it run (only takes about 20 minutes or so since it keeps all the original video intact) untill it finishes creating a bluray with menu intact. Now feed this to BD_RB and set your custom size for a "FULL MODE BACKUP" to 24,000 or 24,250 if you want to push it, and you will get a really accurately sized finished encode. goodluck, worknstiff

Also, you can change the preset, or remove it, which will result in more threads being used, and in them having higher utilization, but it doesn't result in faster encodes. So it would seem the answer to the problem is "x264 doesn't use more threads nor a higher CPU utilization than it does because it doesn't need to." You aren't leaving any CPU power lying on the table, so to speak. It uses what it needs to. :) That just means that by removing that mode you've added additional work for the processors to do --but it won't likely finish any faster, and you probably won't notice a quality difference in the output. So even though you're using more processor, I'm not sure you're really accomplishing anything. As I said before, the limiting factor is the decoding and frame serving.

A better way to do what you're doing would be to turn off "Automatic Quality" settings and select "High Quality" as a permanent setting.

Did you try the LAVF setting I suggested?

@jdobbs
Both "How to Train Your Dragon" and "Constantine" utilize PIP, but use E-AC3 audio instead of DTS Express for the PIP audiostream and both BD-RB backup discs exhibit the same wretched behavior on my SONY S360 as do all DTS Express discs thusfar.

Additionally, opening the ORIGINAL disc's movie .M2TS in tsMuxer discloses that the E-AC3 audiostream only is listed as the very last item, after all PGS streams - while the BD-RB backup lists it in the conventional last of the audiostreams, and before all PGS streams. Also, tsMuxer will not allow me to change the relative position of the E-AC3 audiostream to last place after all PGS streams.

Since tsMuxer cannot process (and doesn't display) DTS Express audiostreams, I cannot determine whether they also are ORIGINALLY placed after all PGS streams. If they are, it would be my guess that this placement is critical to the S360s processing of both types, if not all types, of PIP-related audio.
Finally (I believe I mentioned this previously about DTS Express discs), the ORIGINAL disc lists the secondary video as "Profile High 3.2", whereas the BD-RB backup lists it as "Profile High 4.1" (same as it lists for primary video for both ORIGINAL and BD-RB backup). Moving the audio doesn't make a difference. I've tried it before.

I'll have to look at the profile issue -- BD-RB is supposed to use Level 3.2 for secondary video.

I agree, and that's what I was trying to say, though probably not clearly. :) There isn't really a problem, it just LOOKS like there might be if you are looking at the Performance Monitor because it seems you aren't using all the CPU power available. But x264 just doesn't NEED any more CPU power to accomplish what is being asked of it. For the given quality level, changing the preset WILL cause more horsepower to be needed, and you will see that in the Performance Monitor, but the end result is an encode that is essentially the same size but takes longer to create. So there is no problem with x264 not using all of the available CPU power.

What follows is the results of the test I ran. I tested this using both x264-64 with LAVF and x264-32 without LAVF, with and without --preset ultrafast. Using an input file of size 990,244 KB (one of the files from my last encode) and encoding it with the last command BD-RB issued on my last encode of a disc, only changing the use of LAVF or --preset ultrafast. The bitrate used was 15649 (which is what was last used on my most recent encode) Here is what resulted:

x264-64 with LAVF and with --preset ultrafast
Encoded 10809 frames, 58.54 fps, 15241.66 kb/s
Resulting file size - 838,785 KB

x264-64 with LAVF and no preset
Encoded 10809 frames, 22.88 fps, 15090.14 kb/s
Resulting file size - 830,447 KB

x264-32 without LAVF with --preset ultrafast
Encoded 10809 frames, 56.30 fps, 15241.82 kb/s
Resulting file size - 838,794 KB

x264-32 without LAVF and no preset
Encoded 10809 frames, 21.39 fps, 15090.21 kb/s
Resulting file size - 830,451 KB

With or without LAVF, the CPU utilization was about the same; around 25% or so and only 6 threads active when using --preset ultrafast, and all 12 threads active and maxed out when not using --preset ultrafast.

So it is possible to MAKE the x264 use more CPU power, but there isn't a NEED unless you want slower encodes for the given quality you have selected. There is no need to worry about what the Performance Monitor says about your CPU utilization while x264 is encoding, x264 is doing what it was asked and using what it needs to do so.

So there's no bug in BD-RB related to this perceived issue. :)

If it is disc bound (which is very likely), an SSD would probably really fly with your setup.

It might also be possible to modify BD Rebuilder to check on usage and do multiprocessing in addition to multithreading -- like encoding more than one video file at a time, or encoding audio concurrent with the video. More-and-more people are getting high-speed 6 and 8 core machines, and it would be nice to be able to take advantage of them.

[Ch3vr0n]

if you could pull that off and make it work on a simple quad core like my Q9550 that would be very impressive :)

I ran the tests from my SSD RAID 0 array, consisting of 3 Intel X25E 32GB drives. It's quite fast. :D But I haven't noticed it making much of a difference in encoding speed vs the mirrored 1GB standard HDDs I normally use. And I too think it would be great if you were able to multi-task rebuilds in some way, though I'm not unhappy with how it works now. :)

On to another issue dealing with a different problem, I just completed verifying that there does seem to be a problem with BD-RB setting the bitrate for encoding when streams are manually added or removed.

I allowed Auto Blank to remove all but the main movie from a rebuild, and BD-RB reports an input size of 25.75 GB and sets the bit rate to 19632, and the resulting ISO ends up being 22,922,240 KB. When I set the Threshold to 600 and then manually remove the rest of the streams so that only the main movie is left BD-RB reports an input size of 35.64 GB and the bitrate gets set to 12059, and the resulting ISO is 16,628,736 KB. The rebuilds are using the same streams each time, the material being encoded hasn't changed, only the way in which it was selected was changed.

So it seems that input size and bitrate are not being recalculated after manual selections are made, and as a result rebuilds are ending up either too small or too large depending on if streams were added or removed.

[Sharc]

Since a while (OS update? BD-RB update?) wavi.exe crashes at the end of its task instead of terminating properly. I can then terminate the application (wavi.exe) manually and BD-RB continues as expected, and the final result is o.k. Nothing is reported in BD-RB's logfile, so basically no problem with the exception that I have to intervene manually in order to let DB-RB to continue its task. I never had any issues with this until recently :confused:

When are you making the manual selections? If you do it after some encoding have been completed and you resume, I can see how it would be off because the size of the completed items wouldn't match the new calculations.

Any chance that's it? It sounds like it -- and if that's the case it makes perfect sense, the only thing I could do is start the entire encode over when you change your selections. You can't change the size of a file that has already been encoded...

Was the SSD the source (where the original BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders reside). If disc I/O is the limiting factor, that's where you'd have to use it to see a difference.

To test this I shutdown BD-RB, and I make sure the target directories are empty. I mount the disc to be processed. I start BD-RB, it's running in Movie and Menus Backup mode, and it scans the disc and selects the streams it thinks it should keep. I double click the title to put it into edit mode, and then I do the manual selections and hit backup. No pre-processing takes place, no interruptions or resumptions of the rebuild process happen. No matter if I add or delete streams, whatever input size BD-RB calculated when it started and did its auto blanking is the size it chooses when I start the backup.

The source for the x264 tests was a single file on the SSD array. The source I use for my rebuilds are ISO files made with Anydvd that reside on a regular HDD.

After I read your post I started wondering how that could be possible and traced the code... arghhh -- it was so obvious I don't know how I could have missed it before. I found just about the silliest error of all time. When you select "blank/unblank" a routine finds all playlist links and changes their flags. The sizing numbers are then adjusted for all the linked streams. BUT THE ROUTINE NEVER ADJUSTS THE SIZES FOR THE ONE YOU ACTUALLY SELECTED!!!

Sometimes I just have to laugh at myself. :D

I'll fix it for the next release.

Thanks again for the report.

Currently I get a problem with CRF prediction for a multi-segment movie. For one of the segments the prediction converges in one single step from 22.48 (initial value) to the final value of 36.24 and the quality is accoridingly poor. Therefore I try to get around it by adjusting parameters.
According to hiddenoptions.txt the 2 params are:
GROUP_SIZE=
SAMPLE_SIZE=
According to the original post here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1306763#post1306763)the 2 params are:
SAMPLE_GROUP=
SAMPLE_SIZE=
Which syntax is the correct one?

Edit:
I understood that for "very short" segments BD-RB will fall back automatically to 2-pass. However it seems that it does a CRF prediction for short segments as well. Is there a parameter which defines the size of a "short segment" below which a 2-pass encode is automatically done in place of the CRF prediction?

SAMPLE_SIZE is the size of the sample to be used and SAMPLE_GROUP is how bit a segment each sample represents. Not sure how/when GROUP_SIZE got thrown into the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file -- but it doesn't exist. I'll fix that.

The default SAMPLE_SIZE is 2x the source framerate and the default SAMPLE_GROUP is 200x the source framerate. So a 24fps source would be sampled every 4800 frames using a sample of 48 frames. If you set a fixed sample group/rate, however -- it uses what you've set regardless of the input frame rate.

ok, thanks for explaining.
This means that by default any segment shorter than 4800 frames (for a 24 fps source) would be based on the first 48 frames for CRF prediction, correct? If these first 48 frames are of simple structure (e.g. fading from black) we could end up in very biased CRF prediction for this segment?
Perhaps segments of <4800 frames should be automatically 2-pass encoded, or 4800 should be auto-reduced such that at least 2 groups of 48 frames are used for CRF prediction?
Normally CRF prediction works very well :), with occasional exceptions for segmented sources (small segments). Perhaps too complicated ....

[Chuckwagon]

arghhh -- it was so obvious I don't know how I could have missed it before.

Heh heh, it's because the obvious ones we just correct mentally as we sail past them, they are so obvious after all that they can't really be wrong. :)

Glad you were able to find it, and happy to be of help. And thank you for such an awesome tool.

FYI, as a test I just did a full BD25 backup of Let Me In using BD Rebuilder 39.03. Since it has PIP with DTS-Express secondary audio on the main feature, I set DTSX_ENABLE to 1. The burned disk worked flawlessly on my PS3.

No. Since the beginning and the end are usually biased, they are not used. So you'd end up with 48 frames from the middle somewhere. It's really not very often that you find a stream that is only 3 minutes long anyway. On a more typical movie (say 2 hours) you're going to be sampling 36 sets of 48 frames that are spread throughout the stream, so it's unlikely any of them would carrry enough weight to really skew it.

The default does a 1% sample -- but you could always make it 2% or even 3% (e.g. SAMPLE_GROUP=1200, SAMPLE_SIZE=48). Be careful with smaller sample sizes, you really don't want to get below GOP sizes as it can make prediction less accurate.

Agree for the more typical movie. I came however across the problem with segmented movies (i.e. theatre and extended version controlled by playlist) where some segments are shorter than 4800 and lead to very skewed CRF predictions between these segments (ranging from CRF=10 to 36). The larger segments (>4800 frames) came out as expected with a CRF around 19 (for DVD-5/720p). Therfore I thought that short segments should automatically be encoded 2-pass.
Never mind, such cases should perhaps better be done using 2-pass a priori rather than 1-pass CRF predictive mode (I just like it and tried.... ).

[Stereodude]

Never mind, such cases should perhaps better be done using 2-pass a priori rather than 1-pass CRF predictive mode (I just like it and tried.... ).Isn't using 2-pass encoding on a movie in multiple pieces a bad idea since each piece has no visibility to any other piece and some parts could end up wasting bitrate that would be better used elsewhere netting inconsistent visual quality between the pieces? It seems like CRF would be the best way to maintain quality between the various pieces with the challenge being the determination of what CRF value to use (across all the pieces).

Not really -- mainly because you have the original to use as a baseline (that has already been weighed and encoded). Also -- it doesn't take a whole lot of frames to benefit from 2 pass.

I'm not sure where you're seeing the "others" -- because this is the bug thread and I don't see it here. It sounds like your player doesn't support the type of disc you're using. What make/brand is it? If using Imgburn, report what it says about the empty disc.

[drmih]

I have a LG bd-370 which I don't often use, but I have just checked a bd-25 disc I did with 39.03 and it was okay. However, the LG is a bit choosy and certainly on bd-9 only plays discs without jar files. It may be that it has problems with certain discs.

Hi there, i have a question , hope i dont bother anyone with this, is just a simpel question, how can i set bdrebuilder to work using dual-procesor, i mean, using 64 bit operating system, i found that in tool folder you have x264-64 and setacl_x64, is it a way to set those so i can rebuild movies faster? just a question, thanks

[Atak_Snajpera]

setacl is not an encoder. it is only used for setting ffdshow as preffered decoder in windows 7.

You don't have to set anything. x264 uses all the cores available.

BD Rebuilder will use dual processors no matter how you have the settings (X264 is multithreaded). If you want to use the 64 bit version of X264, set "Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding" in the SETUP menu. It'll then use it when it is possible. But don't expect to see a lot of speed increases, on most systems it runs about the same speed with or without it.

I've experienced this as well with at least 3 releases on my JVC XV-BP1, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (39.03) black and timer stuck at 0:00, The Crow (39.02) black and timer stuck at 0:00, and Cars 2 (39.02) shows the Disney castle and the timer counts but it does not progress, and hitting any keys are blocked. These 3 movies play fine in the PS3.

These were BD25 Full movie backups, and I did Cars 2 twice to verify. It doesn't happen on all backups though as I've had others that work fine like Season of the Witch (39.03).

Reason I didn't report it is I thought the JVC was starting to fail, but after reading others are experiencing it, now know that's not the case.

One other thing I would like to mention is Imgburn updated to 2.5.6.0 around the time I started experiencing this as well, so maybe it's the culprit. I'll downgrade imgburn to 2.5.5.0 and see if that changes anything.

Edit: Downgraded Imgburn to 2.5.5.0, recreated and burned the iso and still experiencing the same issue, so Imgburn is not the cause.

Edit2: Also confirmed ISO is playing fine in TotalMedia Theatre 5 so it looks like it may just be stand alones that are affected.

Update: Just ran the same rip through dvdfab and am experiencing the same issue, so it appears bd rebuilder is not the issue, wish I had a 50gb bdrw to test the original image on, oh well. :)

Thanks Full backup does an analysis and leaves some of the extras intact when it is appropriate (to same time). So they don't show up in the list. If you select "Movie-and-Menus" you will get everything to work with (in case you want to blank some of them).

I may change it so they all get listed when you enter "Edit Mode". It depends how much of a pain it is.

Good to know. I wish I could figure out why it doesn't work on some players -- there has to be some small setting I'm missing...

The "label" of the Blu-ray "Super 8" is "Darlings_AC_Retail".

Full backup does an analysis and leaves some of the extras intact when it is appropriate (to same time). So they don't show up in the list. If you select "Movie-and-Menus" you will get everything to work with (in case you want to blank some of them).

I may change it so they all get listed when you enter "Edit Mode". It depends how much of a pain it is.

Thanks for reply. All is ok with super 8.

You talk about "Movie and menu", where can I choose this option?

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.39.04). Changes for this release:- Improved the MKV output routines. Now multiple
audio tracks will be reencoded and/or kept (as
selected in the streams list).
- Added MP4 as a containter type for ALTERNATE
output. Although previously allowed, it was
limited to iPod and iPad specs. A new example
format is included in the default output list.
The MP4 container type allows multiple audio
tracks with multiple channels to be included.
- Audio language flags are now included in MKV
ALTERNATE output and MP4 ALTERNATE output.
- Modified the DTSX routines so that placeholders
are no longer necessary. This eliminates some
unlikely but possible negative impacts.
- Improved the status updating for certain types
of actions.
- Corrected an error in which ALTERNATE/MKV output
could incorrectly report an error and exit when
no true error was actually present.
- Fixed issue in which intermediate MKV files may
(rarely) incorrectly fail due to "warning" exit
code.
- Added a new option to the ALTERNATE output dialog
that allows removal of black borders (automatic
cropping). This option is not enabled and does
not apply to DVD output (for obvious reasons).
- Added code to check requirements and prevent
reencoding when an AC3 source (or its core) does
not require processing to meet target specs.
Note: Some settings such as AUDIO_AMPLIFY, "Use
192Kbs for AC3...", and "Use 448Kbs for AC3..."
will force reencoding.
- Corrected an issue in which manually blanking or
unblanking a stream in edit mode was not updating
the sizing tables. As a result, overall output
sizing would be incorrect and could cause over
or under sizing.
- Improved function of IVTC. Also corrected issue
related ot IVTC on VC-1 sources.
- Added a new prefix for filter editing. By adding
the "r:" prefix, BD-RB will add the specified
filter after the resizing stage (rather than the
default of before). Note: If using more than one
prefix, the "r:" must be the last in the series.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[omegaman7]

Encoded "Forrest Gump" during the night. 2 questions/bugs. I told rebuilder to re-encode AC3 sources to 192KB/s, the extras remain at 224KB/s. I realize that the difference is nearly negligible. And perhaps rebuilder sees that the difference is trivial, and not worth the time? I have a feeling you coded it this way?
Second, a few files apparently lost frames.
00117 in particular lost one single frame. Mediainfo would not show me the amount of frames, so I loaded AVS script files into Virtual dub to see just how many frames were lost.
See, I compare the raw bd rip folder, next to the output folder to see just how much difference there is. Windows 7 shows me the running time of the m2ts files. I saw that 00117 lost a second of time. Or more precisely, one single frame. I seem to recall a similar instance happening before, but it was more extreme. Like 10 frames. 1 frame is not the end of the world, but this does seem like a bug.
Something to note, I left "ENABLE_TEST=1" enabled, but I did not use its abilities. I don't see how this could be the culprit, but you're the coder, I am not LOL!

I see there's a new version available. And I noticed you're working on the output size when blanking. Excellent! LOL! Thanks :)

My next encode is Star Trek V. I see that there is 3+ hrs of extra content. If my math is correct, Encoding/downsizing 224KB/s to 192KB/s, would give me an additional 1.65GB of space, for the main title. Fairly substantial?

Nevermind my last comment. My math is flawed :S

Because how the m2ts muxing overhead works the final size of a 192 Kbps AC3 track and a 224 ac3 track is the same.

With the following thread, and a little math, you should be able to predict just what kind of gain you'll see ;) I've thought about 1090t, but I don't think it'll be worth it to me.

Test of DTSExpress:

Used v.39.04 to once again make a 25Gb Full Disc backup of "Sourcecode". Unfortunately, when played back on my SONY 360, the results were the same as my efforts with earlier versions of BD-RB - the video portion of the PIP activity displayed properly, but were silent. Considering the less than ordinary multiple PIP activity options and the publisher's heavy duty messing around with this disc's playlists, I'll try a more pedestrian disc containing DTSExpress.

Note: Some settings such as AUDIO_AMPLIFY, "Use

Much appreciated.

A line in the audio avs file "audio=NicDTSSource("00082.track_4352.dts", Channels=2).Amplify(1)
ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))"

Does "Amplify (1) indicate that amplification has been selected? Is that a default setting?

My ini doesn't contain the line "AUDIO_AMPLIFY=n" so can I assume a forced re-encode based upon that parameter will not take place.

Hi!

I was going to use the original (1968) "Planet of the Apes" to test the DTSExpress function in v.39.04, but I can't, because after loading it into BD-RB v.39.04 the main .M2TS file (Over 46Gb) was not listed in the main window.

Is there a way to get around this?

Not sure when I'll implement alternate languages. The problem is that I have to go through the entire program and replace static text with variables. That's not a minor task.

Both v.39.03 and 39.04 show the same information under the "Stream" tab regarding the original "Planet of the Apes" (1968). The actual primary movie M2TS is 00055.M2TS approximately 27Gb:

1) If BD-25 is selected, the "Stream" tab lists VID00081 through VID00150

2) If BD-9 is selected, the "Stream" tab lists the "full shot" of VID00012 through VID00150

I'll attempt to do a 25Gb FULL DISC backup to see if it's actually limited to only the listed items. Result with v.39.04 as well as with v.39.03 is that it cannot be done! Error message, "Target too small to continue"

BTW - I also tried v.39.03 and 39.04 with DTSExpress turned on and off. Made no difference...

Yeah. I'm still not sure what to do about that one. The only alternative that comes to mind is to scan each section and look for gaps that have to be filled, and that could get really messy. I may have to look at the connection_condition, and sometimes rebuild as multipart -- even in movie-only.

Just wanted to report I ran "Hobo with a Shotgun" with this new version and the audio synch issue is still present with this disc. Ok, got it. I modified the same routine I'd used for another audio oddity and did a test (it worked). It'll be in the next release.

[colinhunt]

Remember The Quiet American (from Amazon UK, not US) and how BD-RB dug up something which is not seen on the original? I figured I'd run it through v0.39.04 to see if it performed any differently. The process finished a moment ago and I haven't played it back yet, but I noticed that the output is quite massively oversized. I use a custom size of 24000MB and in 99% of cases output comes to within 200MB of a full BD25, but in this case it came to 24.9GB which is more than a gigabyte too large for BD25.

update: No difference in backup from the earlier version of BD-RB. Select Play Movie in Main menu, and you first get color bars followed by a master tape information screen listing frame rate, aspect ratio, length and audio information, then 20 seconds of black before Miramax logo appears. Original skips directly to Miramax logo even though the m2ts file contains color bars, info screen and the lead-in. It's apparently possible to program the playlist so playback begins not from the start of an m2ts file. BD-RB for some reason does not copy that programming to the backup.

[colinhunt]

The problem outlined in my post #13220 (Wonderland: movie in extras is stuck at 0:00:00) is present on the full backup created with 0.39.04.

Two pass is the only option that will be fairly accurate for sizing prediction. You did not report your settings, but this method has never been that far off for me! :cool:
Every movie will compress differently, so your setting of 24000MB is not leaving much of a safety margin, as you have unfortunately discovered. :(

[jdobbs]

Remember The Quiet American (from Amazon UK, not US) and how BD-RB dug up something which is not seen on the original? I figured I'd run it through v0.39.04 to see if it performed any differently. The process finished a moment ago and I haven't played it back yet, but I noticed that the output is quite massively oversized. I use a custom size of 24000MB and in 99% of cases output comes to within 200MB of a full BD25, but in this case it came to 24.9GB which is more than a gigabyte too large for BD25.

update: No difference in backup from the earlier version of BD-RB. Select Play Movie in Main menu, and you first get color bars followed by a master tape information screen listing frame rate, aspect ratio, length and audio information, then 20 seconds of black before Miramax logo appears. Original skips directly to Miramax logo even though the m2ts file contains color bars, info screen and the lead-in. It's apparently possible to program the playlist so playback begins not from the start of an m2ts file. BD-RB for some reason does not copy that programming to the backup. Please don't report oversizing when you have custom size set. It isn't a bug when your action causes the problem. I've commented numerous times about sizing accuracy and that's why I set the defaults to what they are.

As for "The Quiet American" -- since it apparently isn't available on blu-ray in the US (or at least on Amazon)... there really isn't much I can do. I couldn't find either the John Wayne version or the Michael Caine version.

Of course I use two passes, and Highest Quality. Like I mentioned, using a custom size of 24000MB has worked very well for me; less than 5 backups out of hundreds have come out oversized on versions older than 0.39.04.

Ohhkay... I just thought it might be interesting to learn that this suddenly happened on 0.39.04 when it did not happen on an earlier version. I've done hundreds of backups with custom output size and have had very few oversized outputs, and none have been this severe. When it happens, it's usually less than 100MB over BD25 so I'd say your sizing algorithms have been extremely consistent in the past. An oversize this large felt like an anomaly worth reporting.

I'm aware of that. I mentioned this to let you know that whatever changes made to BD-RB code have had no (accidental) effect on this issue. If you wish, I can make relevant clpi and mpls files available for examination.

Hi

Tried to do the classic disney movie Pinocchio, but I'm getting this error: Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec speciffed.

Tried as this fora suggested to rip again, got same error, ripped it again in another drive, same error again.

Ripped it with anydvd 6.8.8.0.

Make sure you have enough space on your disc. By the size of it at "Least" 60GB or more. I'm not saying that is the problem but make sure first till Jdobbs or others can help.

[sonate]

I use a custom size of 24000MB and in 99% of cases output comes to within 200MB of a full BD25, but in this case it came to 24.9GB which is more than a gigabyte too large for BD25.



This happens. I find that almost all older Criterion releases typically produce undersized by a gig or less so I'll chance increasing the target.

In this particular instance, reduce target size by 1.7 GB to 22250MB using all the other same settings, should end up with a near perfect sizing. FWIW

[allright]

Hi

Yes, I was aware of this, there is enough space for doing this disc, so problem must be somewhere else. I can't understand why the log is doing all the audio streams, only english and danish were selected ...

Just wondering why it was diff, thanks. Mine did a full backup perfectly.

Ok, got it. I modified the same routine I'd used for another audio oddity and did a test (it worked). It'll be in the next release.

Awesome work! Thanks a million for all your dedication :D

Not sure how alternate mode should work, but here is what I wanted. Robin Hood Bluray playlist 363 is an hour long making of that is MPEG-2 stream (see mediainfo below). The 3 files in this playlist total 1.7GB. So I thought why not select other movie only playlist, then alternate mode of DVD-5. So assumed it would be no reencode since the content will fit to target. But it recoded the video and the final size of the DVD VIDEO_TS folder was 3.53GB and the audio sync was off. What happened? I thought it should not reencode.

I even tried the config setting of FORCE_NOENDCODE=1 and that had no effect either, just same result.

Hi there! I'm new in this field, maybe you can help me!
I'm using the vista 32 version, and when I'm trying to open bd rebuilder, I've got this error : "component mscomctl.ocx or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid". do you know why? or can you help me to install the missing component? or you can send me somewhere to read about this problem? thank you

[Ch3vr0n]

That's all been siad a few dozen times now in this thread. Go to the BDRB install folder and execute "REG_MSCOMCTL.bat" with admin priviledges.

@jfcarbel

When outputting to DVD-5/9, BD-RB does no sizing checks. It assumes it always has to be reencoded (since MPEG-2 is so rare in BD features). I'll take a look at it and see if it might be feasible to do "keep original" checks.

Quick question for ya. I've done a few Cinavia titles, and taken the DVD AC3 and just muxed into the MT2S file that BD-RB had created.

I'm now trying 30 Minutes or Less and a bit of an issue is that the main MT2S file has 2 video tracks. Whenever i mux with tSmuxer, the wrong stream shows up, even though i have not changed the order, just replaced the Cinavia infected AC3 with one from the DVD.

I know that BD-RB re-encdes and remuxes this file without incident, so could you please let me know what you think i should do to make this work? already googled for "mt2s secondary video" and "tsmuxer secondary video" to no avail.

Thanks in advance

I'm now trying 30 Minutes or Less and a bit of an issue is that the main MT2S file has 2 video tracks. Whenever i mux with tSmuxer, the wrong stream shows up, even though i have not changed the order, just replaced the Cinavia infected AC3 with one from the DVD.

I know that BD-RB re-encdes and remuxes this file without incident, so could you please let me know what you think i should do to make this work? already googled for "mt2s secondary video" and "tsmuxer secondary video" to no avail.

Thanks in advance Are you getting the wrong video stream, or the wrong audio stream? The selected stream is identified by its PID (packet identifier). If the wrong one is being played, that means the wrong PID is being assigned to it during the remux. Normally the stream PIDs are assigned sequentially/incrementally in the same order as they are listed (in the TSMUXER metafile). For secondary video files you have to have the ", secondary" parameter included in that video files's line so its PID starts in the correct range... I'm not sure you can do that in the GUI. But you can always cut and paste from the GUI into Notepad and add the parameter, and then run the CLI:

c:\path\to\bdrebuilder\tools\tsmuxer.exe createdmetafile.meta d:\output\path

Wrong video file. I'll give this a try. thanks.

FFDSHOW VC-1 set incorrectly: [0]

what do i do to fix this

From the first post of this 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".
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"

Hi

Yes, I was aware of this, there is enough space for doing this disc, so problem must be somewhere else. I can't understand why the log is doing all the audio streams, only english and danish were selected ...

//JJ

Then I would suggest that it is a defective disc. Swap it for a new one.

[allright]

Hi

The disc is playing okay in my Pioneer stand alone player and burner, and I have no errors when ripping it?

To me it looks strange it takes all audio, when I only choose Danish and English?

To me it looks strange it takes all audio, when I only choose Danish and English? I can assure you that if it processed all the languages -- they were all selected. You may not think so -- but they were. An important note to remember is that if you resume a job, the original audio selections from the time the job was first started are used (not any changes you may have made in the interim). This is necessary to prevent wild sizing errors due to mid-stream changes. Another possibility is if the stream isn't an original and/or the stream languages aren't properly marked or are set to undetermined ("und"). In that case they are assumed to be the default language. That means they could be kept when that language was selected.

[allright]

Hi

No problem, I'll rip, and start a new job, will return with the result.

@jfcarbel

When outputting to DVD-5/9, BD-RB does no sizing checks. It assumes it always has to be reencoded (since MPEG-2 is so rare in BD features). I'll take a look at it and see if it might be feasible to do "keep original" checks.

For catalog titles its more common then you think, they generally just port over the DVD extras content and throw its MPEG-2 into an m2ts container.

That would be a nice feature if you can add the check, then it makes it possible to create a true DVD bonus disk from the extras on Bluray.

[Ch3vr0n]

Seems like BDRB still blanks menu's (like i said on a previous post) See image

Extras aren't features -- and it's extremely rare that anyone wants to make a movie-only disc of an extra. If there are more than one extra (unless linked somehow) you'd only get one of them.

[jdobbs]

There is no 100% perfect way to identify a menu, this is especially true (but not unique to) discs that use BD-J (like[I] I said in a previous post). That's why I waited so long to add the editing feature and still have it hidden except to advanced users who frequent this beta thread. BD-Rebuilder just weighs several indicators and makes a best-guess. It does a pretty good job, but I'm not sure there will ever be a way to make the selection perfect.

[allright]

Okay, did it again, my system is set up to only keep English and danish audio, and keep all subs.

Fair enough, was just pointing it out :), i figure that the way to determine if a disc uses java or not is if the JAR directory is empty or not? Well if that's true then Cowboys ain't empty and uses Java. I know its still a test feature and doesnt always work like it should (selects streams to blank that should and reverse), wich is why i preview every selected stream. If you need a few files to diagnose this i'd be happy to help, the menu VID_00000 is only 312kb in size. I'd be happy to send it along with any related files.

I can tell you that the new audio check routine you added it 39.04 is working. See log snippet.

JJ It's possible that the message is being printed in error. I'll check. But I don't think so -- I use it every day and have never had a non-selected audio listed.

It can't be truly keeping them -- because they aren't even extracted if not selected.


[Edit]

I found it. It's working correctly, but is printing the message for all tracks when it shouldn't. It's because you have "KEEP_HD_AUDIO" selected (I never keep HD audio personally). I've fixed it for the next release.

Good to hear, any idea what could be causing the error that BD-R stops with?

[setarip_old]

@Ch3vr0n

Hi! i figure that the way to determine if a disc uses java or not is if the JAR directory is empty or not?As an alternative method, if the disc initializes by displaying some type of active "loading" image display (growing bars, rotating circle, an image being gradually filled, etc.), I'm fairly certain that this too is indicative of Java being implemented on the particular disc...

[jdobbs]

Good to hear, any idea what could be causing the error that BD-R stops with?That's pretty much always a corrupt source (probably an audio track). But (if I recall correctly) I may be able to create a workaround. I seem to recall that on some sources (not all) you can get past that error if you demux the video separately from the audio.

[ftb32]

I've experienced this as well with at least 3 releases on my JVC XV-BP1, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (39.03) black and timer stuck at 0:00, The Crow (39.02) black and timer stuck at 0:00, and Cars 2 (39.02) shows the Disney castle and the timer counts but it does not progress, and hitting any keys are blocked. These 3 movies play fine in the PS3.

These were BD25 Full movie backups, and I did Cars 2 twice to verify. It doesn't happen on all backups though as I've had others that work fine like Season of the Witch (39.03).

Reason I didn't report it is I thought the JVC was starting to fail, but after reading others are experiencing it, now know that's not the case.

One other thing I would like to mention is Imgburn updated to 2.5.6.0 around the time I started experiencing this as well, so maybe it's the culprit. I'll downgrade imgburn to 2.5.5.0 and see if that changes anything.

Edit: Downgraded Imgburn to 2.5.5.0, recreated and burned the iso and still experiencing the same issue, so Imgburn is not the cause.

Edit2: Also confirmed ISO is playing fine in TotalMedia Theatre 5 so it looks like it may just be stand alones that are affected.

Update: Just ran the same rip through dvdfab and am experiencing the same issue, so it appears bd rebuilder is not the issue, wish I had a 50gb bdrw to test the original image on, oh well. :)

I have the same problem with this titles.jejeje..

[drmih]

It might depend on whether you also have the same source:

"Update: Just ran the same rip through dvdfab and am experiencing the same issue, so it appears bd rebuilder is not the issue, wish I had a 50gb bdrw to test the original image on, oh well."

It looks to me like rippn might not have ripped it from the original disc himself!

I do HP7-2 and found the same issue with the message of keeping audios that you don't want (but i doubt if necessary to report it, because the rebuild is 100 % fine, only keeps the audios marked in the setup), if count for something i use KEEP_HD_AUDIO=0 always.

Related to this i always asking me why in the ps3 the removed audios are selectable/displayed? is not posible to completely remove the tag of these audios?

Thanks!

Thanks! It'll do it on every disc that has "Keep HD Audio" selected. But it's just a cosmetic thing -- no impact on the encode.

It's not a good idea to remove the tags. If you did you'd also have to recreate the menu images, buttons, selection commands etc... that's virtually impossible -- and it still wouldn't fix any BD-J selection mechanisms. So instead, I've pointed any removed audio references to the first of the ones that were kept.

[[SLiM]D12]

thx jdobbs. Your guidance lead me to the AC3 file that BD-RB was remuxxing and i just replaced that with the non cinavia infected one and it worked out well.

I know a long time ago you suggested i do that, but for whatever reason, i could never get it to work. This time it did.

Thanks again!

[Rich86]

D12;1542440']Quick question for ya. I've done a few Cinavia titles, and taken the DVD AC3 and just muxed into the MT2S file that BD-RB had created.

Keep in mind that it is highly possible and likely that the DVD audio track is also corrupted with cinavia . . .

[[SLiM]D12]

Keep in mind that it is highly possible and likely that the DVD audio track is also corrupted with cinavia . . .

Nope.

Lately, for whatever reason, the DVD titles aren't coming out with Cinavia. They were doing it for a while, but quite a few DVD's released in 2011 don't have it.

I always test on bd-re first and let it play for 30+ and if there's no cinavia error, i'm good. I've recently done 30 minutes or Less and Friends with Benefits this way. Both worked fine.

If you check here, you'll see what I mean:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinavia

[allright]

That's pretty much always a corrupt source (probably an audio track). But (if I recall correctly) I may be able to create a workaround. I seem to recall that on some sources (not all) you can get past that error if you demux the video separately from the audio.

Okay, tried to turn off different streams, and when i tried without the ENG DTS-HD BD-R finished without errors, but the image was oversized 25.576.472.576 :-(

Will try to change to custom size.

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs

Both v.39.03 and 39.04 show the same information under the "Stream" tab regarding the original "Planet of the Apes" (1968). The actual primary movie M2TS is 00055.M2TS approximately 27Gb:

1) If BD-25 is selected, the "Stream" tab lists VID00081 through VID00150

2) If BD-9 is selected, the "Stream" tab lists the "full shot" of VID00012 through VID00150

I'll attempt to do a 25Gb FULL DISC backup to see if it's actually limited to only the listed items. Result with v.39.04 as well as with v.39.03 is that it cannot be done! Error message, "Target too small to continue" Ok. I fixed this one. It was an odd set of circumstances in which BD Rebuilder thought the feature was a menu. It got even more confused when it found another stream that was longer (one of the extras). I've added code to prioritize how it determines features a little better.

[omegaman7]

I have the same problem with this titles.jejeje..

Have you tried a movie only backup, for sheets and giggles ;)

I have found with at least 90% of my backups (As of late), my Samsung 1590 says it can't play the disc. Unfortunately, I've done multiple firmware upgrades. What's funny is, it will play old backups fine(The Other Guys) for instance. But if I burn movie only, everything seems fine so far. I recently acquired an LG BD640, and will do even more testing. I generally use Verbatim LTH discs, and Taiyo Yuden 4X LTH discs. The Taiyo Yuden discs, the Samsung seems to like. What a shame BD-R can't be booktyped to BD-Rom :(

[Ch3vr0n]

Have you ever come to think it was the DISCS your using? LTH discs (Low to High) have a very small amount of players compatible with LTH discs, the brand doesnt matter. Those types of discs use an organic dye and not all players know how to deal with that. Try the standard type of Verbatim's (NON LTH) and BD-R's can be booktyped just fine. Mine are. It just depends if your burner supports booktype setting and the program use. I use IMGBurn for all my blu-ray burns and it marks em as BD-Rom everytime

[omegaman7]

I did not make that statement lightly. You're just gonna have to trust me. As I said, the samsung likes the taiyo yudens. Is that really so surprising? Taiyo Yuden is nothing short of epic...
I am very aware of the LTH issues :p As I said, movie only as of late, seems to bypass the problems I'm encountering. But I'm not done testing.

Sorry Jdobbs. I'll stop this :S

Good to hear that you've resolved it - and that it was just as you'd speculated ;>}

The monkeys await the fix in the next version!

@jdobbs

I tried the new filter prefix r: in movie-only mode using CRF prediction. Source is 1080p. I select resize to 720p.
Resizing is ok, but the extra filter is neither inserted in the temp.avs (used for prediction) nor in the feature avs (in my case VID_00017.AVS)
My filter:
F:P:r:Sharpen(0.15)
(+"Save Changes")

Did I miss something?

[omegaman7]

I had problems with "Full backups" multiple titles, playing back on my Samsung 1590(Cars 2 was among them). My new LG BD640(with stock firmware) plays literally everything I throw at it! Files on USB, virtually every BD-R disc type I have :) Cars 2 seems to play perfectly. Verbatim LTH, Taiyo Yuden LTH, Ritek BD-R, CMC MAG media, etc. I'll be hard pressed to find something it can't play. Best part so far, seems to be that it does not support cinavia detection. I watched "The Other Guys" for 30 Minutes without the detection. Score!

My only guess is Samsung released a firmware crippling future burns? I strongly recommend the LG player. It's near silent, and aesthetically pleasing. And more to the point, it supports a multitude of BD-R media.

It should be noted, I only ever use anydvd HD for decrypting purposes.

I figured this relevant, since a few of us have had problems with modern backups. I'll probably never update the LG, unless it's absolutely vital!

Like mentioned you might want to start looking at your media. I have backed up movies on both Ritek and Ridata BD`s about a year ago and some will play and some wont now also from what I was told is that LTH media isnt real BD R media, its made on the same machines as regular blank dvd`s. Its not made on actual BD R machines made specificly to manufacture BD R media. Up untill a month or so ago I never had a BD fail to burn or complete the burning phase untill I got some new Ridata BD R media that was on sale on newegg.com, sofar out of a 15 pack I have had 2 failed burns, using other media like Optical Quantum, Memorex and one other brand I have had no failed burns or playback problems. Ritek and Ridata are made by the same company just sold under two different names.

[omegaman7]

I keep up on tech news :p I'm well aware of LTH specifications. The samsung is nothing more than a paperweight now. Congratulations samsung. You disappointed me. I suppose it was one of the earlier players though. I've been playing with burnable DVD media since 2003. I'm also well aware of good vs bad brands.

[omegaman7]

It supports AVCHD discs :) Though when I go that route, I only keep the main title. So that I preserve as much of the quality as possible ;)

[jdobbs]

So that I preserve as much of the quality as possible ;) But does it support full backups to BD-9 in BD format -- meaning it also supports BD-J (on BD-9)? I typically only do movie-only as well when I write to DVD+-R, but I was just wondering for the sake of compatibility.

[omegaman7]

I can test it for your sake if you wish. So what you'd like me to do, is back up fully to BD-9. I'll leave the Strict AVCHD checked, since it only applies to movie only backups anyway.
Is there a particular title you'd recommend, or just pick one LOL!?

Almost any player that supports AVCHD will play a full-backup disc that uses HDMV for its menus -- but there are relatively few that will support BD-J. I'd like to add to the thread that lists them if the LG supports it as well.

[omegaman7]

Very well. According to Wiki, "Batman Begins" utilizes BD-J. And most importantly, it's already on my drive :) I'll begin the encode around 4:00 today. So I won't know til either tonight, or early morning. Stay tuned ;)

I made a full backup of Batman Begins to BD-9. The results are unusual to me :p

Apparently I've found one of the few things the LG BD640 cannot do. It won't play A full backup BD disc, on BD-9. At least as far BD-J is concerned. It tried to load the disc, called it a blu-ray disc, but then a triangle with exclamation point came up. To which it ejected the disc.
Although the Samsung BD-P1590 WILL play back the disc. I found that quite surprising. Throughout the time I've had the Samsung, it's been rather picky.
Might I also add, it's rather impressive! The backup that is. The main title (including two audio tracks) takes a mere 4.28Gb. The extras were also agreeable quality. Everything appears to be in sync. No errors to report.

The disc in question is a Verbatim +R DL, made in singapore. One of the best, if not the best Dual layers one can buy. I burned it at 4x with a trusted NEC chipped optiarc.

It's really not that big a deal anyway. Now that BD-25's have dropped to sub-$1 prices, it's really not that big a deal anymore.

True, that BD-25's have become reasonably priced. However, more of a concern for me is the numerous (200+) fullbackups to BD5/9 media that work perfectly on my present Sony's BDP-BX1 and S360, that may not work when it is time to replace one or both of these players. :(
I would have thought, rather hoped, that compatibility would get better as the Blu-ray players evolved, but maybe that was a pipe dream! :devil:

I would have thought, rather hoped, that compatibility would get better as the Blu-ray players evolved, but maybe that was a pipe dream! :devil: Just keep them on BD-9 for now, and when BD-R gets real cheap in a year or two (25 cents or so), just copy the image from the BD-9 to BD-R. That way you don't have to do any reencoding. You'll waste the extra space, but who cares as long as the quality is good!

That is a reasonable concern. But Jdobbs makes a valuable point.

I only burned a handful of AVCHD discs using Ripbot, before using Bd Rebuilder. When I began using BD-R media, the typical price was $2.50 - 4.00 USD per disc. It's come down quickly if you ask me. The Burners are dropping quickly too. SPeaking of which, I'm gonna nead a new one before too long :S

You're welcome :) I love testing things.

I have used MultiAVCHD to add the 3 Toy Story movies on BD-5 to a BD-25 with menus, of course they were movie only so that's not much help if you want to keep all extras and menus.

Plays great.

I just encoded Kung Fu Panda 2, everything is OK, but the VBV values for the main movie are not compilant, I keep the (huge) Lossless track so rebuilder compensates lowering the vbv_maxrate to "25370" but the vbv_bufsize is still "30000", acording to this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533) thread vbv_bufsize should never be higher than vbv_maxrate:

Maximum allowed buffer, buffer size is in relation with maxrate. Since STD Buffer Delay for Blu-Ray allows maximum 1 second. This mean to divide buffer with maxrate and see if result is less or equal to 1, if not, buffer is need to be reduced to lower value that meet 1 second STD. For BD media, maximum settings is allowed (30000), but if not meet STD Buffer Delay, then need to be reduced to lower value. For DVD media there is no maximum in Blu-Ray specification, but is strongly recommended that use less or equal to 15000, and again need to meet STD delay of 1 second.

For example:

--vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 is allowed
--vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 30000 is allowed
--vbv-bufsize 15000 --vbv-maxrate 30000 is allowed
--vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 15000 is not allowed (delay is greater than 1 second)

Basicly vbv-bufsize should newer been greater than vbv-maxrate, that is whole point.

BD-RB should never create more than a 1 second buffer. It could be I didn't compensate properly when a huge audio track lowers the maximum bitrate. I'll check it out.

It's not a stretch that MY system shows an incompatibility with one version of aften yet is not necessarily out of whack or set up incorrectly.

When using inspect.exe, it will show the newest version of aften.exe included in the BD reb download to be correct. However archiving the one you included and using this version downloaded here, an older version yet labeled .008, the AC3 encoding works fine.

[manolito]

While I am not familiar with BD-RB at all, I do know some things about Aften (from Nick's AC3 plugin for DVD2SVCD).

Basically you had the choice between binaries compiled by Kurtnoise or by Wisodev. Wisodev's binaries mostly did not detect CPU capabilities correctly (maybe they did not even try), and this always caused crashes on my P3 Coppermine (MMX + SSE, but no SSE2).

Since Aften is not actively developped any more (according to JRuggles), my advice is to use the latest version from Kurtnoise, and this happens to be v. 0.0.8 from Sept 2007.

Soon after I first brought up this issue, I asked the same question about system requirements. Not getting a response, I gave you all the hardware specs.

It is an Intel P4 HT 3.2 gb with 2 gb dual channel ram.
And that was more or less the same specs of 4 of the other systems I tried it on.
edited to add, If it helps, they were 478 pin Northwood and Prescott architecture.

The other system was a quad core intel 2 to 3 years old with the same failure.

Strange, now it works on all of them with the revised aften.exe

True-to-form you can't answer a simple question without a commentary. I'll just let someone else help you. You are historically way too difficult to deal with and are keeping your reputation well intact.

[Ch3vr0n]

@Jdobbs: think i've found a minor interface bug. Reproducing is rather simple i think. Have DTS-E processing enabled, load a disc and double click on the disc title. The flag "edit mode" should now appear on the main window but the edit mode itself isnt activated (like it shouldn't). It's just that the message appears when it shouldn't, that's all. You can swap back & forth between full backup & edit mode, the "flag" stays displayed in both while it probably should only be displayed in the actual edit mode

[Sicilian]

Please forgive me if this issue has already been addressed.


The first title that had this problem was Fellowship of the Ring. What happens is that at some point the video freezes at a certain frame, but the audio continues. I checked the original video (ripped with AnyDVD), and it plays all the way through without freezing. I have tried full-disc, and movie only encodes, but the video freezes at the same frame every time. I figured it was a bad rip, so I borrowed a friends disc. The video freezes at exactly the same frame!

This has now been happening more frequently. Other titles with the same problem are Skyline, Transformers 3, Thor, Matrix, to a few off hand.

Please help!!!

I'm sorry for the commentary it was just an FYI. Is the reason because I have an exceptionally old processor? I'm not so sure it needs anyone's help since it works very well now. But I would like to make the suggestion to those who experience the same problem on a similar system to try the older version of Aften.exe

Unfortunately no, there isn't. Looks like Kurtnoise gave up Aften altogether (you cannot find it on his site anymore) which is a pity because his Aften related stuff was always very reliable.

Anyways, I salvaged the latest Aften related stuff from his site before it disappeared, I hope he doesn't mind me uploading it to SendSpace:

Hi! I borrowed a friends disc. The video freezes at exactly the same frame! This would indicate that your player is problematic. Try cleaning it with a cleaning disc. Maxell makes one that sells for about $10US...
Try playing YOUR burned disc on your friend's player. Do you have the same problem?

[Sharc]

Since a while (OS update? BD-RB update?) wavi.exe crashes at the end of its task instead of terminating properly. I can then terminate the application (wavi.exe) manually and BD-RB continues as expected, and the final result is o.k. Nothing is reported in BD-RB's logfile, so basically no problem with the exception that I have to intervene manually in order to let DB-RB to continue its task. I never had any issues with this until recently :confused:
The issue above persisted ever since.
Looks like this version behaves well with my system:

I just strated to encode the entire disk to see what I get.

Any ideas? I can't imagine. All it is doing at that point is scanning for MPLS files and looking through them for information. It's possible that a corrupt MPLS might cause that error I guess.

Try backing-up/deleting your BDREBUILDER.INI file and see if that helps.

[greslogo]

So, I encoded the entire disk and that worked fine but it took forever. Any ideas why I am having problems with Movie Only which seems to coincide with the BDR update ? Might just be coincidence.

I'm doing Harry Potter and then the extra disk where I had an abort, Movie Only.

When doing a full backup is it possible to keep just the main movie and menu only and not the annyoing trailers and extras?

If I remember correctly, most, if not all, of the "Harry Potter" Blu-ray discs contain well over 10 hours of movies and extras and would, therefore take considerably longer to process than a more typical 2 to 3 hour Blu-ray...

If I remember correctly, most, if not all, of the "Harry Potter" Blu-ray discs contain well over 10 hours of movies and extras and would, therefore take considerably longer to process than a more typical 2 to 3 hour Blu-ray...

I this case the EXtras are on a second disk.

The encode went fine although I would still like to know why, when I select movie only, I am getting stuff other than the main movie.

[RobertM]

I would still like to know why, when I select movie only, I am getting stuff other than the main movie.

Are you sure that you selected the correct playlist? I recall re-encoding HP-Half Blood Prince, and the default playlist included lots of additional stuff added at various places in the stream. You may have to pick the correct playlist from the "Other movie-only" dialogue.

[greslogo]

I have never proactively selected a playlist from the dozens of BRD's I have encoded, when selecting Movie Only, so I doubt it is that. In the case of X-MEN, I tried a few weeks ago with the results, exactly as you describe, and have encoded others since then, successfully Going back to X-MEN I ended up with the same problem. It appears BDR is selecting the wrong playlists on these 2 BRD's.

Here are the choices for HP-EXTRAS under "other playlists"

Playlist 00202 - Playlength 00:53:03 (7 chapters)

Playlist 00204 - Playlength 00:22:31 (2 chapters)

Do you need to guess which Playlist to use or is there some rule of thumb ?

i have a problem... (sorry for my english)
i have a bluray that has a very little item (26mb)
and the bdrebuilder crashes everytime is encoding that particular item

I've done the UK version to bd-9 full disc without problems. As you are doing yours to bd-25, I'm surprised that it's touching a small file - I can't remember what the size limit is for re-encoding. Perhaps it's a bad rip.

Trying to rebuild The Smurfs using v39.04, but I am getting the following errors after selecting the source:

Error Condition
BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2501

followed by:

100 plus rebuilds without any errors until now. Could be a bad backup, but video files play on my computer just fine.

[Ch3vr0n]

did you swap a mounted iso / change the source when it was scanning the directories? That's an error i've seen personally and only happened when i accidentaly swapped mounted iso's when it was already scanning the first mounted one, or when i aborted the source selection

It's getting that error from the operating system while trying to scan the folder. Is this a network drive? I think I remember someone reporting an issue something like this once.

[omegaman7]

I think you're talking about me Jdobbs. I attempted to load a Blu folder over a network. I believe I got the same error. I don't do it that way anymore though. So no biggy :)

[jdobbs]

I have updated the links in the first post of this thread to a new version of BD Rebuilder (v0.39.05). Changes for this release:- Added code to check and correct for leading
M2TS file audio weirdness when building to
movie-only from a multipart source.
- Added a hidden option "BEEP_SOUNDFILE". This
item can be set to the path of an alternate
.WAV file to be used as the "Job Completion"
beep. See HIDDENOPTS.TXT.
- Corrected an error in which the "keeping audio"
messages are incorrectly printed for all streams
when "KEEP_HD_AUDIO". The audio was processed
correctly -- but was incorrectly reported in the
status log.
- Corrected an issue in which some AVS settings
may be set incorrectly when processing a non-480i
source when the hidden flag "IVTC_480i" is set.
- Added new code to better prioritize playlists in
determination of main feature.
- Modified menu identification routines with the
intent of improving accuracy.
- Added code to check vbv-bufsize when vbv-maxrate
has been modified (due large audio inclusion) and
ensure the 1 sec buffer limit is always enforced.
- Corrected problems with filter prefixes that could
cause incorrect application.
- Added a new filter prefix. An "s:" prefix tells
BD Rebuilder to include this filter for secondary
video. Note: When used the "s:" should be the
first prefix listed.
- Added inclusion of chapters ALTERNATE/MKV file
output. Chaptering can be disabled by using the
new hidden option "MKV_CHAPTERS=0" (see HIDDENOPTS)
- Modified ALTERNATE rebuilding routines to save time
when using single source (non-mulipart) sources by
not performing the "PT 1" multiplexing.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r2120).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r2120).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Ch3vr0n]

Whooptiedoo, custom notification sounds. All i need now is a third "output folder" browse button and i'll be a very happy camper :D But care to elaborate the use? is it relative to the BDRB folder or to the C:\ root drive?

[jdobbs]

Whooptiedoo, custom notification sounds. All i need now is a third "output folder" browse button and i'll be a very happy camper :D As I've said repeatedly. A third output folder doesn't serve much purpose (my test show it to have almost no impact on speed) -- so it is a low priority. It also was the one of the biggest complaints I got on DVD Rebuilder. For some reason adding an additional output folder just confuses people.

The "Whooptiedoo" comment is not appreciated. I spend a lot of time on this software with no return on that labor investment. Smart-ass comments just make me rethink whether it is worth it.

[Ch3vr0n]

My apologies, it's worth it for me. Now i won't have to walk back and forth all the time to see if the job is finished or not? But care to explain how it works?

is the path relative to BDRB like would BEEP_SOUNDFILE=success.wav work, if success.wav was included in the rootfile, does it work with path's like BEEP_SOUNDFILE=..\imgburn\sounds\success.wav or does it need the whole path? Oh and i'll try to make an effort and make some kind of donation to ya, with the newyears bonus coming up ;). I've been using this amazing app for a while now, it's more then worth it.

[sonate]

JD, just so you know, I appreciate and respect what you have given us, regardless how it appears to come across or is received. Make no doubt about it.

Oh and i'll try to make an effort and make some kind of donation to ya, with the newyears bonus coming up ;). I've been using this amazing app for a while now, it's more then worth it. It expects a fully qualified path. So it can be anywhere. I wouldn't expect it to work without the complete path -- as it is passed on as-is to the OS for playback, but I haven't tried it.

[Ch3vr0n]

So BEEP_SOUNDFILE=succes.wav would not work? (technically it is a full path) i would move the file in the BDRB root folder or would it be best to use BEEP_SOUNDFILE=C:\Program Files (x86)\BD_Rebuilder\Success.wav ? (succes.wav i use is the IMGBurn one, maybe offer the choice to users to use that one if IMGBurn is installed. Kinda similar to BDRB being able to send commands to IMGburn )

I've been using BD Rebuilder without problems for some time but with the last beta I have the famous run-time error '5'.
When I go back to the 0.39.04 it works ok and the same with .03 and older versions.

When I go back to the 0.39.04 it works ok and the same with .03 and older versions. If it was so "famous" you think I'd have heard of it...

You don't give a lot of information for me to work with. No title, no logs, no settings, no useful information. I guess I could try to read tea leaves to figure out your problem -- but I don't have any.

[gzr]

I said "famous" because I've seen it in the forum other times but I didn't want to offend you.
There´s no much information to say, I mean just download the zip file and uncompress into a folder but when I run BDRB.exe I get the error. I can't even start the program, no logs, no settings and when I run Inspect everything is ok.
As I said It doesnt happens with any other version, just with this new one. I'll still using the 0.39.04.

English is not my native language so excuse if there's any misunderstanding.

The only time I recall for "Runtime Error 5" is on DVD Rebuilder -- and that was caused by use with a computer configured for Asian languages and no western non-Unicode setting.

Do you guys have auto updates activated within windows 7? I remember when Internet explorer 7 or 8 adversely affected dvd shrink. In a similar way.

There should be more in the INI file, which makes me think it is crashing while reading the settings. There was only one change I can remember there.

Can you do me a favor? Find a legal WAV file somewhere on your system (c:\windows\media is a good place to look), and add the path to your INI file as a pointer to the completion sound. For example:

BEEP_SOUNDFILE=c:\windows\media\chime.wav

That way I can see if this new INI check is the cause of the error. Weird though that it wouldn't happen to others if that were it...

BTW. This is what your INI should look like after running from a clean install:

[Options]
VERSION=0.39.0.5
MODE=0
ENCODE_QUALITY=0
ONEPASS_ENCODING=2
AUTO_QUALITY=1

[gzr]

Yes, this are the only entries, believe it or not. The program crashes before it can load any configuration.
The the donate window appears but when you continue (or donate) the error comes.

[jdobbs]

Note that I corrected the previous post, I'd used the wrong name for the entry.

[gzr]

It works now, adding the BEEP_SOUNDFILE entry solved the problem. Thank you, it's a fantastic program.
Take this just as a suggestion but I think you could include a small wav file in the zip and an entry by default to it.

Take this just as a suggestion but I think you could include a small wav file in the zip and an entry by default to it.It uses the system default WAV as the sound file. It looks like the problem occurs when I'm querying the registry to find that file... I'm guessing it might be a Vista thing... man I hate Vista (buggy, buggy, buggy). I've tested this on Windows 7 and XP -- and both are fine. I got rid of Vista as soon as Windows 7 was released/tested.

hi, - and first of all, many thanks for this excellent app : I've been a faithful user of dvdrebuilder, and this one is going to be another fantastic little thing, thank you.

1) I do not know whether this is a bug or not, - or maybe I have not properly configured my system - but once I start bdrebuilder the first thing I see is a warning telling me that system is not properly configured for working with ffdshow and asking whether I want this to be done, - I click o.k. and get a confirmation that proper configuration has been done. this, however, remains valid till the end of the current session with bdrebuilder. when I start the application next time, - everyting repeats in the very same manner again.

2) a couple of questions, if you please (and sorry if questions would seem silly/show my personal lack of knowledge):

I have a new Intel Core i7 2600K speedy CPU + Z68 mobo + Nvidia GTX 560 Ti video card. So I've got both Intel QuickSync and Nvidia's CUDA. and I'm using Lucidlogix Virtu software to "switch" the graphic modes.

What influences most the actual speed of BDRebuilder ? Is it the speed of CPU as such ? Does the video-card plays it's role as well ? If so, could the BDRebuilder's speed benefit from Intel QuickSync technology ? Or should I better mainly rely on my discrete video-card ?

Thanks and Kind regards/oldy99

1. From the setup instructions in the first post of this thread:Note to Windows 7 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry. You do this by right clicking on BDRB.EXE and selecting "Run as administrator".

2. By far the most important component is processor speed. Second would be disc speed. With BD-RB the video card plays virtually no role except for playback.

[oldy99]

many thanks indeed for your attention and speedy reply.

very cordially yours,

Somethings wrong with the directory. It's getting that error from the operating system while trying to scan the folder. Is this a network drive? I think I remember someone reporting an issue something like this once.

Not a network drive and other movie folders on this drive are compatible with BDRebuilder. It must be the directory OR or a problem with 3D.

[omegaman7]

Perhaps there's a character in the directory rebuilder doesn't like? Are there any limitations Jdobbs? Or are the limitations the same as windows?

This is not really a bug, just a suggestion for enhancement since BD-Rebuilder is running on a Windows Platform:

It would be nice to press the "Esc" key to close a dialog window (equivalent of pressing the X to close the window). For example, if one goes to Settings => Setup or Help => About, they will be able to close the window by pressing the "Esc" key.

Currently, pressing the "Esc" key doesn’t do anything so this is just a suggestion.
But if this was done on purpose, then forget about this post.

Thanks for the awesome software BTW! Great job Jdobbs!!!

Trying to rebuild The Smurfs using v39.04, but I am getting the following errors after selecting the source:

Error Condition
BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2501
SourceCheck() 00009 2501

followed by:

Illrgal Source
Selected source is not BD fomat

100 plus rebuilds without any errors until now. Could be a bad backup, but video files play on my computer just fine.

I received that error when using AnyDvd HD and in the settings under Video Blu-Ray had several of the remove trailers and video sequences shorter than 10 mins. checked.

At the time I didn't realized it only worked with HTPC or watching with PC players. Un-checking the boxes fixed it and BDRB worked fine. Just a thought.

There's a thread for that too. The BDRB feature request thread, just a few threads below this one.

Sorry; i have converted a bluray BD25 to DVD9, and i have the audio out of sync. What could i do to have the audio sync?

i would start by producing the log from BDRB processing the disc and inspect.exe

[Capsbackup]

@Choyin;
More info needed... What did you use to rip the original Blu-ray disc, what is your playback device, is the audio consistently async throughout or gradually gets worse?

[1Bullet]

This is probably more coincidence than a bug, But in BD rebuider v.0.39.03 and now v.039.06 on 2 separate movies.
Using movie only and output to BD 25 leaving audio untouched.
BD Rebuilder will show in the log encoding not necessary on a rip of 25gb or larger. However when process is complete file is still to large for a single BD-R. As file is still the same size.
I have been able to work around this by using custom size and lowering it untill I force the rencode. My last rencode my my custom target size was 21500mb and my finished BD was 23383 mb
Both films the audio was with DD True HD audio. But again I have never come across this before. I am asumming it has something to do with DD True HD not being read correctly.

[Choyin]

The bluray was downloaded.
My player is PS3 and a panasonic player.
The bluray has 4 chapters in 2 big .m2ts; the second .m2ts has the audio out of sync, the first .m2ts is ok.

[omegaman7]

1. Downloading isn't supported by the beta testing. (you'll be hard pressed finding aid from this forum)
2. Piracy isn't supported by Jdobbs, or the forum.
3. You probably have a corrupt source.

It appears there was a change in Aften for the latest version BD-RBV03906. File size of the new Aften is 236KB. File size from BD-RBV03904 is 267KB. On a full backup to BD5, Aften hangs and then stops working causing me to have to abort the backup. :(
I replace BD-RBV03906 with BD-RBV03904, resume the backup and it reencodes the audio and continues to completion and is successful.
I know there was some discussion another reported regarding a problem with Aften, but I have never experienced one until now. By reverting back to the version supplied with BD-RBV03904, I was able to complete this without Aften crashing, but not with the one supplied with your latest BD-RBV03906. :confused:

I wish there was a dependable source for the one true working AFTEN version.

[jdobbs]

I guess what I'll do is put both versions into the zip. I'll start with the one that has worked for so long -- if that one fails, I'll automatically try the other one before exiting with failure.

Ughh... I've added so many "oddity workarounds" in BD-RB that they're taking up more programming time than the actual "do-it" code.

I feel your pain! :p
Perhaps having both versions available within BD-RB's downloadable zip, but include in the FAQ that if a user has the Aften error, they can switch the .exe to the alternative one. This way you can try to reduce your programming code "oddity workarounds". ;)

My belief is that a (small) or large percentage will even read the FAQ or even search for a fix to a problem as "many" individuals just want a 1 or 2 click solution thus having many more "My Aften don't work" post.

Just a thought.

[jdobbs]

I already made the change. It uses the reliable version all the time, but then tries the "sonate" version before announcing that an encode fails.

An old axiom in the programming world: If they have to read the manual to use it, they won't use it.

[manolito]

I don't know if this has any relevance here, but for the older Kurtnoise version of Aften 0.0.8 it is recommended to always use the parameter "-readtoeof 1". Without this option it can happen that the encode stops before EOF is reached.


Cheers

manolito That setting is always used in BD-RB. The bottom line is that there doesn't appear to be any version that works on all systems. But the one I was using before this last change is by far the most reliable, and I went against my better judgement in changing it. In fact it appears to work for every system except sonate's. I'll use the Kurtnoise version as a backup in case of failure.

And it is working spectacularly well. For the first time I have seen a movie shrunk down to a BD-5. Even tried a full disc backup and found everything not only worked on my sharp bd player but the quality of both video and audio was incredible.

Don't know how many more times I can tell you that I have tremendous respect for you.

But now at least we know where the problem lies. Having myself read every FAQ in detail and scouring forums and discussion groups for any information, I had to find out that there were problems with aften.exe in general , outside the realm of BD rebuilder.

And if many people are doing bd25 encodes, the question of AC3 conversions might not ever come up for them. I remember a year ago trying an AC3 conversion and getting the aften failure but after realizing that decent 25g BD media cost was on a par with DVD-9 , I simply clicked the keep HD and do not encode AC3 parameters and never had a problem until I had a specific reason to create a BD5.

So now at least the info is out there in case anyone runs into the same problem.

Hi folks,

Ran into an interesting problem with a movie-only, BD-25 backup of HP7pt2. The BD-25 size was OK so the original video was used, and there were no concerns throughout the BD-RB and ImgBurn processes.

However, when I watch the resulting video on my standalone player (Sony BDP-S580), there is a noticeable video stutter at the boundary point between each of the original streams; there were 58 input m2ts streams. The stutter looks like 1 video frame is misplaced at the boundary. The audio was re-encoded to AC3-640, and there is no perceptible audio stutter at these boundary points. I have not noticed this problem before on any of the previous HP discs.

If I turn on the "display" feature of the BD player it shows an instantaneous Mbps readout. Typically for this disc it ranges between 15 and 25 Mbps, but whenever a segment boundary happens the readout briefly drops down to 1Mbps and then jumps back up again.

I did a detailed check of the first 4 boundary points in another multi-segment BD-25 backup; Aliens (Alien 2). I could not detect any stutter at those first 4 boundary points, and the Mbps readout was steady.

So, something odd seems to be happening with THIS particular disc. I'm running another encode right now, using the "FORCE_ENCODE=1" option, to see if allowing BD-RB to actually re-encode the video before multiplexing makes any difference.

If anyone else who has done a BD-25 of HP7pt2 feels inclined to check their backup for this issue then the first 4 boundary points if this film happen at the following points:

Ran into an unusual situation while poking around BD-Rebuilder.

I have run a couple of sucessfull encodes but wanted to check my settings so I tried the tip of "run as administrator" I was surprised that BD-RB reported that ffdshow had to be installed before it could run and that BD-RB must abort.
When I run BD-RB inspect, it shows all the ffdshow options set as OK.

Just thought I would pass this along. Thanks for the great work.

Has this been pre-processed? Size seems awful small for a potter movie. Just saying....

[RobertM]

Has this been pre-processed? Size seems awful small for a potter movie. Just saying....

Nope, it is a commercial NA disc.

Interestingly, my latest rebuild of this disc using a forced encode does not show the same problems. I'm re-doing the forced encode again at a higher quality level. Then I'll repeat the original, no video re-encode version to see if the problem returns. Thank goodness for BD-RE discs.

[Ch3vr0n]

39.06 works just as fine as 39.04 here. Finished an encode with 39.06 a couple days back and running another one now. No aften.exe errors (yet)

[DVDIT]

Did a "movie and menu only" back up of the movie "The_help" and and it works like a charm. Many thanks for the great work you do jdobbs. Your work is really invaluable. More donation your way after the holidays.

In few cases I got a problem with 1-pass crf prediction:
Script: SelectRangeEvery(4800,48,4000)
The problem is that the test clip takes the same first 48 frames of the movie repeatedly, i.e. there is no advancement to the next group of frames. Consequently the crf prediction is totally skewed.
I did not find a systematic pattern as to when this happens. Just to mention that the last source was a 1080i/25 (MBAFF) which I resized to 720p/50 (BD-RB applies frame duplication for BD compliance). Not sure if this format triggers the problem.

hi i'm using xp and seven64bit

in xp how to set VC1 and MPEG2 ? libavcodec wm9 off(vc1) libavcodec, libmpeg2, off(mpeg2)

in seven64bit how to set VC1 and MPEG2 ? libavcodec wm9 off(vc1) libavcodec, libmpeg2, off(mpeg2)


thanks:o

[Ch3vr0n]

Its all in the first post

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".

8. Setup VC-1 decoding in the same way you did MPEG-2 in step one. For Vista or Windows 7 using "Video Decoder Configuration" -- select "wmv9". Recommended for Windows XP only (but not required): Download and install WMV11 from Microsoft, and set VC-1 decoding to "disabled" in FFDSHOW (allowing the WMV11 codec to be used instead).

This is a great tool, just like DVD Rebuilder (is) was.
I've been using BD Rebuilder since september now without any problem.
I do "movie only" back-ups (i live in the R2 zone) all the time. Except for 'The Speed Of Life", thas was a full back-up.
All played properly on a TViX S1 mediaplayer.
To jdobbs: THANK YOU! I made a donation a few days ago.

Hello,

I'm trying to get the hang of BDRebuilder...

So far I've been able to re-econde a movie (Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets) to a BD-25, but to succeed, I had to check "Do not reencode AC3" to get rid of the AFTEN errors.

Now I try to encode the same movie to BD-5, and here is what I get:

you say aften errors, afaik aften.exe was swapped for a different one in 39.05. Try using 39.06 with the aften.exe from 39.04

[Wizzu]

Thanks for the reply, but my issue is not with aften anymore. ;-) as I stated, I found a workaround for the aften errors when encoding to BD-25.

My current issue is with video encoding, not audio encoding, and it's with encoding to BD-5 (check the log).

Any idea? :thanks:

[Sicilian]

Reposting this message, because of little response.


The first title that had this problem was Fellowship of the Ring. What happens is that at some point the video freezes at a certain frame, but the audio continues. I checked the original video (ripped with AnyDVD), and it plays all the way through without freezing. I have tried full-disc, and movie only encodes, but the video freezes at the same frame every time. I figured it was a bad rip, so I borrowed a friends disc. The video freezes at exactly the same frame!

I have played back the created file with TotalMedia Theater, and other programs on my computer, as well as my Sony bluray player. They all show the same problem.

This has now been happening more frequently. Other titles with the same problem are Skyline, Transformers 3, Thor, Matrix, to a few off hand.

Please help!!!

Hello,

0.39.06, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, 6GB RAM and Multi-Core.

I have English set for Audio and Subs to keep.
I have the options set to Not Reencode AC3 or DTS and I'm ~currently~ testing Movie Only in DVD-5, and Alternative Movie-Only Output; which is MKV Intact Audio. Other modes are on my To Do list. I was noticing DTS was being ReRendered to AC3 in DVD-5 and Alternative mode until I had a feeling inside..."Checked Keep HD Audio for BD25!" and that stopped the re-rendering to AC3. For Alternative mode neither Subs aren't in the MKV container. After Alternative MKV mode, if I disable (X) the first Multi-Chan and click it states there was a job previously started and asks if I wish it to resume previous job.

I'm currently testing with Toy Story. When I change settings in Setup, I see the rescan happen and the choices for Audio remain selected but the Last English Subtitle (there are 2) is X'd. I have to re-enable it.

I hope this is helpful. Need logs?

[Ch3vr0n]

@amiga: do you have the checkbox ticked under audio/video that sais "limit to one track for each language"? That would explain why the last english subtitle gets removed.

Posted by "allright" December 2nd Post#13679: Tried to do the classic disney movie Pinocchio, but I'm getting this error: Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec speciffed.
I could find no meaningful response thus far to this post by "allright'.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Today, I was making a 25Gb "Full Disc" copy of the FIRST "Cars" (Disney) Blu-ray disc and received the following message after approximately 80% overall completion:

"- [01:06:28] Multiplexing M2TS
- Error in attempt to multiplex: MUX_00060.meta
- Pes packet len too large ( >100Mb). Bad stream or invalid codec speciffed.
[01:09:19] - Failed to build structure, aborted"

Additional info:

1) 00060.M2TS is the main movie
2) I previously made a succesful "movie-only" backup
3) Each of the two hard drives involved has more than 100Gb free

What does this "pes packet" error message indicate?

[jdobbs]

That's a TSMUXER message. It usually indicates a corrupt source.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new version of BD-RB (v0.39.07). Changes for this release:- Corrected and AVS issue related to the use of
true pulldown sources with the "IVTC_480i"
hidden setting.
- Regressed default AFTEN.EXE to that prior to
v0.39.5. This corrects issues on some systems.
- Modified audio encoding so that a second AFTEN
version will be tried before encode failure is
reported -- this is a workaround for certain
incompatibilities in some AFTEN releases on
different computers.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

A minor boo-boo regarding Post#1 link for v.39.07:

"You can download the BD-RB beta from this link:" - SHOWS link as 39.06 although it properly links to 39.07...

[Ch3vr0n]

I see a new menu mode has appeared. What's the difference between "movie & menu's" and "edit mode" besides the obvious clue? Or is it like i think it is

Movie & Menu's (auto blank extra's) = non-double clicked disc title > BDRB decides on its own what gets blanked
Double click disc title = "edit mode gets checked in the menu" > user has full control over what BDRB gets to blank and can unselect streams

** edit ** am i correct in assuming that this is the fix you implemented for that edit flag issue i reported a while back :)

Double click disc title = "edit mode gets checked in the menu" > user has full control over what BDRB gets to blank and can unselect streams Edit mode is the same thing as double-clicking on the title. As it implies, it enables "edit mode".

The two are independent of each other (as they always have been). So you could select movie-and-menus to automatically blank -- but then restore one of the blanked "extras" using edit mode.

[omegaman7]

Encoded "Black Death 2010" yesterday. The input BD size was 23.8Gb. Output is 22.4Gb. The thing is, the completed Main title(m2ts) is larger than the input. Original is 19.3Gb, output is 20.1Gb. I added "QUICK_CRF=24" in the hopes that it would compress the extras enough, so that there would be no need to encode the main title. Perhaps a 'check' can be adapted into the code, that would recheck before encoding the main title? That way it sees how much space is left after the extras are already encoded ;) There were no extra audio tracks to remove, or I would have gone that route. Oddly, I've had 25Gb+ jobs, that compressed the extras enough(without intervention), and no encoding of the main title.
Is there anything wrong with my replacing the encoded m2ts, with the original? I wouldn't think so.

[Ch3vr0n]

then edit mode is what i've been doing from the start. Manually restoring streams (like the menu issue we talked about a while back that got selected for blanking). Nothing new on that end then just that there's now a menu option too alongside the double clicking method.

[AmigaFuture]

@amiga: do you have the checkbox ticked under audio/video that sais "limit to one track for each language"? That would explain why the last english subtitle gets removed.

I unchecked it before, but I missed that it got checked again when I was trying different settings. I'll test anew.

where is the new menu mode?? i don't find it ( please help i'm italian and my english is poor)
tnx

Mode --> Edit Mode (Manual Blanking).

Mine is greyed, because I'm in movie only backup.

[Ch3vr0n]

it probably won't appear unless you've got the hidden option enabled that enables the test feature for blanking

[omegaman7]

You're correct. Oops...

[alfalaval]

how can i enable the hidden option? please help :-(

[sytyguy]

Enable_test=1

[omegaman7]

how can i enable the hidden option? please help :-(

You need to place "ENABLE_TEST=1"(excluding quotes) in the configuration "ini" file, under [options].
THeres a text file within the bd rebuilder folder, called hiddenopts. You'll find more tweaks there, and their explanations ;)

[alfalaval]

oook tnx very very much !!!

[omegaman7]

I put the string in the .ini file and saved. I restarted the program but in mode do not see any new entry. where mistake?

The quotes cannot be in the ini.
"" <--- That's a big no no!

[AmigaFuture]

Subtitles aren't being put into the MKV container for the Alternative Audio Intact. I have "Limit 1 track for each language" unchecked and 2 Subtitles checked. The first Subtitle is even marked as "Turn Subtitle ON". DTS's, AC3's, and Chapters are within the container. I also used CRF.

I'm now trying 2 Pass MB encoding...I don't see that being any different, but eh...I'll be away from the computer for a bit so...Might as well.

Works seamlessly. procexp.exe process monitor shows the failure of the first version of aften and then a smooth transition into aften2 requiring no restart or other input. Excellent and many thanks to you.

I'm now trying 2 Pass MB encoding...I don't see that being any different, but eh...I'll be away from the computer for a bit so...Might as well. Subtitles aren't added to MKVs because there are virtually no players that can handle .SUP format in an MKV -- and that's pretty much all that BD includes. The only alternative would be to run an OCR against them -- and without human intervention OCR pretty much sucks.

I may add DVD style SUB/IDX subs in the future. But I'm not sure there are many players that can handle that either on an HD source.

[soneca]

The Dune HD players can handle the format .sup in mkv, no need to convert to sub.:)

Nowadays I think most players are compatible with .sub/idx subs.

[jdobbs]

Nowadays I think most players are compatible with .sub/idx subs. I'm also using MKVMERGE to do the builds -- and it doesn't accept .SUP -- only SUB/IDX, so I'm still limited.

[Ch3vr0n]

is .SUP the only subtitle format used in mkv's? Cause i've got a couple tv-show mkv's with subs in it. If there's a way to check the type of subs, i'd be happy to check if my player supports em. The panasonic DMP-BD85 isnt the most recent model

The panasonic DMP-BD85 isnt the most recent model No. In fact, I think .SUP is almost non-existent in MKVs. Several places online don't even have .SUP listed as being supported by Matroska at all.

By far the most common subtitles in MKV are text -- which can only be rendered from .SUP by OCR.

You can check the type by opening the MKV in TSMUXER.

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs

Further to my question in Post#13866, could this TSMuxer "pes packet" error have anything to do with the fact that the primary/first audiostream on the "Cars" (NOT "Cars 2") blu-ray disc is an LPCM stream of almost 6GB? If so, what setting do I have to make (or unmake) to downconvert the LPCM stream without affecting other audiostreams (640 5.1 .AC3 and 192 2 channel .AC3)?

**EDIT** I believe the problem arises as the result of an LPCM stream greater than the usual 4Gb limit for .WAV files. The proof in the pudding seems to be rather simple to observe with "Cars". I use tsMuxer to simply demux the almost 6GB LPCM stream - and tsMuxer split it into 2 files, one of approximately 4GB and another of almost 2GB. It's at this point (during the processing of 00060.M2TS) that the "pes" error is generated and BD-RB grinds to a halt.

MKV does support .SUP as an input. I'm currently using the newest version, but 2 previous versions also accept it. I used Blu-Ray Stream Extractor which does extract SUP files. I then tried importing the SUP files into MKV and it does recognize them. Mostly I'm playing MKV files with VLC and it displays them. My LG BD590 Blu-Ray player doesn't display SUP, yet..and I'm cool with that.

I'm sure it's related to the LPCM -- but not the splitting at 4GB boundaries. BD-RB recognizes that TSMUXER splits files at 4GB and handles them appropriately. My guess is that the fact that it is LPCM pushed created an extremely large PES packet -- which exceeded that allowed, and TSMUXER choked on it.

[Edit] Hmm... it might be that TSMUXER ran into the PES packet exactly at the point where the split occurred and it couldn't write it due to the file size limit in the first file. I can't remember whether it's possible -- but there's a chance I may be able to get around that issue (assuming this is the cause) by lowering the file output split point.

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs

So, if or until this LPCM problem is resolved, what setting does one have to make (or unmake) to downconvert the LPCM stream without affecting other audiostreams (640 5.1 .AC3 and 192 2 channel .AC3)? (I can find no such settings)

If so, you're probably better just keeping the existing 640Kbs DD5.1 audio and not keeping the LPCM. As I've said before, it is my opinion that HD audio is nothing more than a gimmick anyway.

[Edit] Looking back, though, it was the remuxing that seemed to have the problem... I guess I'll have to do some testing with that disc and see what I can find. I assume there is more than one version of it on blu-ray -- can you give me some information as the exact disc?

[setarip_old]

@jdobbs

It's a single-disc Blu-ray edition, including all Blu-ray extras (Cine-Explore, Carfinder game), NEW deleted scene, Radiator Springs Featurettes, Movie Showcase, and all original DVD extras (I believe it's the same one you've previously mentioned you use as one of your ongoing test discs).

Just so you know, I have subsequently, with ease, made a 25Gb backup with the LPCM eliminated - as I concur with your sentiment regarding HD Audio wholeheartedly. However, for the purpose of beta testing, I'm sure you'd want to know about this anomaly...

[soneca]

There were no changes in that area in this version.

I formatted my pc and I forgot some settings, my fault.:scared:

I totally agree.
Recently I upgraded my home theater which is now able to play these new audio formats, I already knew well, and continued dropping 98% of the tracks in HD. When I hear people say that the difference is huge I think I'm going deaf, or most of them have no idea what they're talking about.
Not to mention that such a system average is almost impossible to notice any difference.
Can also be a psychological effect.:D
Sorry for off topic.

Hi2All! How I can use x264-x64 in BD Rebuilder correctly? Do something in config? In the future please use the "search" function -- this has been answers many, many times.

If you select "Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding" in the SETUP menu the 64 bit version will be used whenever possible. Note, though, that some things like resizing, filters, etc. will for 32 bit mode.

[jdobbs]

There's always a reason. Usually overclocking or a corrupt source. The version of X264 didn't change in the latest release, but it did in v0.39.05.

It's possible there may be a glitch in the r2120, but I haven't seen any other reports of issues.

i dont OC at all - no reason.

it seems it might be a bug in the 2 newest AnyDVD - only diff. since last BD rebuilder tyhat worked - tested .04 - same error now :(

@DKdude: to exclude the bug, try using 39.07 but replace the x264.exe and x264-64.exe files with the one from the 39.04 build. If it processes the disc as normal, then its not a bug in BDRB itself but something in x264 that's making it crash.

No joy .. since new anydvd (last two) - it crashes - also in .04

[jdobbs]

I got a similar report via e-mail from someone who was using AnyDVD v6.8.9.2. He went back to 6.8.9.0 and his problem went away. Have you tried the version of AnyDVD that came out today (v6.9.1.0)?

I usually don't upgrade on the interim test versions, only the ones for which you get notified from within the app.

[Ch3vr0n]

there have been a few minor bugs yes in the previous 2 beta's from anydvd. Those should all be fixed with the latest release

Yes, same error (sadly) (only running alpha builds of anydvd - not beta)

and THANKS for a great program! - forgot that before!

UPDATE: i tried out the new beta from anydvd - same problem - wrote them on their forum - and as expected "AnyDVD cant cause that problem" - well, funny, since it works perfect if you go back a few versions! - why cant ppl just test instead of saying no! - learn from jdobbs - full respect for your bug report handling!

Is there a way you can leave older versions alone to work separately and independently of the latest versions? Something like how DVDFab does their software?

This disc is Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, by the way. It has the entire movie in a single m2ts file.

No, there isn't a way to "leave previous versions alone" -- if that happened I'd be continuously responding to bug reports for problems that were fixed a year ago. Versions will continue to expire until I at least get the software out of beta. I also have to say that you are making an unsubstantiated (and highly probably incorrect) assumption in saying that somehow an older version would work -- lots of other things have changed since the last time you did the disc (like AnyDVD, for example).

Please post your BDREBUILDER.INI file so I can see what settings you are using.

Please be aware that the reply you got there, was from a plain user, not from SlySoft.
If you had contacted our support, you certainly would have gotten our "full respect" ;)

But in defense of that user - it is hard to think of how AnyDVD could mess up a stream.

What version of AnyDVD are you using? Read the previous few posts.


I can think of one single thing:

if the disc in question has PMTs that don't fit into a single packet AND the stream is not read entirely in its "natural sector order", it can happen, that individual PMTs get corrupted.

This normally is no issue, because PMTs are repeated every 100ms and come with a checksum that would identify broken PMTs.
When you read using the file system, the Windows file caching does usually mess up the sector read order.

Ripping with the AnyDVD ripper first ensures correct PMTs, but of course it's an additional step no one wants.

So, jdobbs, if you read the PMTs and neglect to check the checksum, that MAY be an issue, though it doesn't sound to me like something that would cause that specific error.
The broken PMTs are still identifiable as such (PID 0x100) and are structurally ok.

If you can think of anything a simple decrypting process could mess up, let me know.

In the meantime, I'll see if I can reproduce the effect.

sorry about that - looked like a sly team member for me - hence i dident understand the dismissing reply from him.

thanks.

still trying everything to find the bug - where ever it may be - but it startede after det last 2 alpha builds of anydvd - sadly.

BUT i will keep looking!

In the meantime, I'll see if I can reproduce the effect. I'm not reading the source at all at that point. All I'm doing is passing the settings to X264 for reencoding. It is X264 attempting to encode that is experiencing the error. The deconstructing of the stream is done by HAALI unless the user has chosen to use X264's internal LAVF decoding.

I can think of many, many ways a "simple decrypting process" could cause pretty much any kind of error if it glitches in the process -- so I guess I don't understand that comment at all??? But that's your area, not mine.

The bottom line is that the reports say that simply changing versions of AnyDVD made the error go away. So how else am I supposed to read that? But since I've never actually experienced it myself I can't say definitively what does or doesn't cause it. There are a lot of variables involved in the process including AnyDVD, HAALI, FFDSHOW, AVISYNTH, and X264. Assuming, though, that none of those changed and switching AnyDVD versions fixes the problem one would certainly suspect it.

[Note: I've edited this post. My previous response was related to a different (wrong) error report.]

[jdobbs]

@DKdude

Go into the SETUP dialog and select "Use X264's internal LAVF..." and try your encode again. If that fails, then we know the error wasn't caused by HAALI, FFDSHOW, or AVISYNTH. If it works, then remove/reinstall HAALI, FFDSHOW, and AVISYNTH. Sometimes other programs or installations can change settings that might cause issues. Reinstalling will often corrects that.

Oh, then, sorry, I neglected to write down a couple of thoughts that ran through my head at the time:

"....given that there has never ever been any trace of video playback on blu-rays by any BD player, that wasn't 100% immaculate" (except for actual BD+ issues, but that's not the point here).

AnyDVD is known to absoluty 100% reliably remove AACS at all times.
When you remove AACS, it is pretty much impossible to "partly mess up". Either it's ok or it's not. If it's not, no part of the movie will be ok.
As soon as the keys are available, decryption is such a simple straight forward operation, that you just can't do anything wrong.

Question: is it a BD+ disc (or discs) causing the problem? (would open up a few additional possibilities)

I'm not even sure what disc "DIRCH" is, as sometimes the volume label is just an acronym. Let's see what DKdude finds by switching the frame-serving before we jump to any conclusions. Sometimes other things can change and people aren't aware of the changes.

Good product, by the way. I recommend it to everyone.

Dirch = perhaps http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1706596/ ? couldn't find out anything about the protection used though

Thanks for all the hard work you put into making such a wonderful program, jdobbs. You da man! :D :thanks:

[AmigaFuture]

BD Rebuilder 39.07 (and 39.06) for the movie Inception the "Extraction Mode" is selected rather than the regular movie and I don't see a way to choose between. Which means extras are included in the render. Perhaps a prompt or the ability to choose when this happens? A Bug? Thanks.

I have the exact same problem. I started with movie only, and I got the extraction, then tried full back up and still only got the extraction.

[jdobbs]

I have the exact same problem. I started with movie only, and I got the extraction, then tried full back up and still only got the extraction. Not sure I'm understanding correctly.

Extraction is automatic. It is done when it isn't necessary to reencode to meet the target size -- keeping the original quality intact. Most of the time that is preferable, but if you want to always reencode you can use the "FORCE_ENCODE=1" hidden option (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT in the BD Rebuilder folder).

If, however, you aren't talking about that and there actually is a playlist called "Extraction" -- then just go to Alternate Playlist and select the other one. There actually is no way to determine definitively what playlist is the movie, so BD Rebuilder simply looks at several factors and makes a "guess". 99.9% of the time it is correct, but occasionally an "Extra" might be longer and appear to be the feature. When that happens, just look at the alternate playlists and pick the one that actualy is the movie.

[AmigaFuture]

Hi Jdobbs,

sytyguy didn't quote the way I did about "Extraction Mode". I will try your suggestion for the Playlist and let you know the results. :-)

I had a feeling to check that setting before posting but I ignored it. I thought it was more of a Batch method hence Playlist. First test looks and sounds great with Inception.

I have been noticing something interesting...when TSMUXER is active programs becomes less responsive. When I set Affinity to 1 CPU the Muxing is the same speed, but programs are a bit more responsive. Have you noticed such activity? I already have Encoding set to Idle and since it's not an encoder it shouldn't be effected.

[jdobbs]

@SqUaDrApHoNiC

Thanks for posting the INI, but unforunately it can't be the one you used when you did Ladder 49. It's set for Full Backup, and your log shows an encode attempt to "MOVIE-ONLY/ALTERNATE OUTPUT mode enabled".

I'll try just setting up for MP4 output and see what happens when I run it. Hopefully using your INI with just that change will give similar results.

[omegaman7]

Rebuilt "KICK-ASS" last night. Quite a bit of content on the disc (6+ hours). In order to maximize quality, I blanked the main titles commentary track(same length of the main title). The output size came out almost perfectly. Looks like the blanking feature is nearly working perfectly. Thanks a bunch :)

In the future please use the "search" function -- this has been answers many, many times.

If you select "Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding" in the SETUP menu the 64 bit version will be used whenever possible. Note, though, that some things like resizing, filters, etc. will for 32 bit mode.

Inordinately grateful. I know and use that. But I thought that it allows to use 64bit-operating system resource "at all" and would like to use an additional 64-bit mode for x264-codec. :thanks:

@SqUaDrApHoNiC

Thanks for posting the INI, but unforunately it can't be the one you used when you did Ladder 49. It's set for Full Backup, and your log shows an encode attempt to "MOVIE-ONLY/ALTERNATE OUTPUT mode enabled".

I'll try just setting up for MP4 output and see what happens when I run it. Hopefully using your INI with just that change will give similar results.

Cheers jdobbs, let me know how ya go...in the meantime ive updated to 39.07

[jdobbs]

Cheers jdobbs, let me know how ya go...in the meantime ive updated to 39.07Unfortunately I ran "LADDER 49" using your INI (with changes to select the proper output) and other than the fact that the job took an exceptionally long time to encode, everything worked as it should (see below). I'd recommend you remove everything (BD-RB, FFDSHOW, HAALI, and AVISYNTH) and reinstall from scratch.

Version 40.01. I smell a new version coming soon. Wonder what's gonna be fixed/new.

I always backup the code with each version as it is released and then immediately change to the version number on of the next release on my computer... so don't count on too much. :)

Severe bug found: There's a space missing between timestamp and "JOB:" :D

Good catch... there's one of those "Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes" I always list in the change logs.

[jfcarbel]

Ran into issues with Boyz in the Hood R1. I was doing a backup of just the bonus features (full backup, blank main movie, target BD-25).
Final size was 5.07 GB. Went to play with TMT5 and it asked to resume movie, then blank screen with TMT5 hanging.

I went thru streams and found that 98 and 99 are the motion backgrounds for main menu. Also this is a Java enabled menu since I see the JAR folder.
I replaced the 00098.m2ts and 00099.m2ts with originals and the associated CLIPINF and then the backup played fine with TMT5

So whats odd is that it recodes all the video streams even though the materials selected add up to easily less then 25GB. I never understood this. I know there is a NO_RECODE option but why even reencode if the target size is big enough. Also perhaps BD-Rebuilder should avoid recoding any of the main menu elements.

[DKdude]

Now i spent many hours trying everything - i still have the same problem - x264 crashes after a long time "pounding" the harddisk. :(

I'm sorry -- but it is pretty almost 100% assured that the problem is your computer itself or the source is corrupted. If it failed immediately, it might be any of a host of problems. But if it runs for a long time and then fails -- it is most likely the system itself. Most of the time it is due to overheating or overclocking. I know you've said you don't overclock -- so I'd guess your processor's heatsink might be filled with dust, or possibly your memory might need reseating. If the program is working on other discs but fails only on this one -- there's also a chance that the source is corrupted.

Either way -- X264 isn't dying on any of the other several thousand computers running it -- and that narrows it down pretty well.

Just for the sake of trying, you might try using the "High Quality" mode instead of "Highest". That setting is almost never needed...

[omegaman7]

I found with an overclock one time, that the fastest setting (Good), actually discovered an overclock bug, where medium settings did not. (Good) seems to stress the CPU/Ram more so than the other settings(realtime priority)? Makes sense I guess. I prefer a stable clock though these days :p I only use the highest quality settings once in a blue moon(Depends on multiple factors). I have noticed a minor difference.

[RobertM]

DKDude could also be experiencing a hard drive failure. Faced with the same problem I would make a fresh rip, leaving the original in place, and see it the problem still happens.

Hi sorry if i'm out of my league here, but I had that same error several times last night and realised it was the simple fact I had no HDD space left on my destination drive. It was used up from pre-ripping disk to the HDD prior to encoding. I hope it is that simple for you.

[omegaman7]

I would think if people are ripping Blu ray discs, they are aware of the size requirements? I guess since the flooding in Thailand though, prices are rather ridiculous :(

Hi jdobbs, Thanks again for confirming it for me. I re-installed to the latest version and re-installed all packages and I successfully encoded "Ladder 49". Thanks again. Is it just me or since I installed latest 39.07 my CPU speed only goes to 50% now instead of maxing continually on 100%. But the funny thing is it has been encoding them between 2/12 to 3/12 hours now instead of 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours. I don't understand why but am very happy with the outcome/quality and will not be changing anything in my settings.

Cheers,

@jdobbs

Sorry if i'm bringing something up that's been addressed (read thru the thread, didn't see an answer)

Is there any progress with the "blanking" of titles?



Also, trying to backup Men In Black II and just getting all sorts of weird results.

Movie-Only works fine, when i do full backup, it comes out to 16GB but the main movie gets "stuck". It'll play for a few mins, then wherever you FF to, you're still stuck at the same frame. Real weird. I figured it was a source problem, but like i said, movie-only works, just not full backup.

I've tried that 'other' solution, just to see what would happen, and it chokes too, so i'm starting to think perhaps it's something with the way the disc is authored maybe?

thx

Cheers,

Squad The CPU usage seems to depend on how fast the frames get served to X264. Different sources can vary the frame-serving. Normally you'll see lower CPU usage on very fast processors because the source can't be read and presented to X264 as fast as it can encode. You might try LAVF as sometimes it is faster (but not always).

As for speed -- it could be affected by changes to X264, but certainly not to the degree you're seeing. My first instinct would be to ask "How many hours does the source contain?" -- as that can change dramatically between discs. You can have two discs that are the exact same size but one might contain twice as many frames (and take twice as long).

[DKdude]

Well .. then ill tell it again .. im NOT oc´ing - have 2tb free on the drive - tried with 4 BD - same error! - and it failes after 1-2 min hdd pounding (x264.exe) - even reinstalled ALL programs.

[jdobbs]

Well .. then ill tell it again .. im NOT oc´ing - have 2tb free on the drive - tried with 4 BD - same error! - and it failes after 1-2 min hdd pounding (x264.exe) - even reinstalled ALL programs. I never said you were overclocked. If you could read, you'd see that in my response. That still doesn't change the fact that your problem is most likely a hardware issue on your end. If you can't accept that then learn to live with it-- it's clearly not my problem. Fix your computer. When X264 is working for everybody on the planet except for you -- don't you think that might be an indicator where the problem is?

[omegaman7]

DKdude. Check all your temps. Everest, speedfan, etc. There are programs out there that can check. Speedfan can also check your HDD's for smart errors.

[jdobbs]

@DKdude

One last thing you might try. I just went to the X264 download site (http://www.x264.nl) and noticed that while there isn't a newer version available, there is a newer build of the latest one (I noticed a file size difference). If they posted a newer build I always have to wonder why. According to the information, though all the libraries etc are identical -- but since the file size has changed -- something is different. You can always try to download that one and replace the one included in BD-RB and see if it makes a difference. I doubt it since the encode failure only seems to happen on your system -- but it never hurts to try. I don't know what processor you're using -- but it could be they used different compiler directives in the latest build that affects it.

[DKdude]

Thanks .. no go .. on my other machine no matter what i do - it will only run with "internal leaf" - can BD be ok quality with that? - cause then ill leave it at that before i go insane :)

[jdobbs]

Internal leaf? Sorry, I don't know what that is...

[DKdude]

Internal leaf? Sorry, I don't know what that is...

"Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding"

my bad

[jdobbs]

"Use X264's internal LAVF for decoding"

my badIt works if you use that? That kind of error happens almost immediately and conflicts with:...x264 crashes after a long time "pounding" the harddisk. So I'm confused as to what is actually happening on your computer. If LAVF works then the issue is definitely one of either AVISYNTH, FFDSHOW, or HAALI that is configured incorrectly (or are the wrong versions). Please post the results of running INSPECT.EXE from both computers.

[DKdude]

both are the same:

x264.exe - the newest as you told me to test.

- Windows Version: 6.1 [7601]
- AVISYNTH Version: [2.5.8.0], Ok
- HAALI Splitter: [1.11.96.14], Ok
- FFDSHOW: [3882], Ok
- WIN7 preferred AVC CODEC: Ok
- WIN7 preferred VC-1 CODEC: Ok
- WIN7 preferred MPEG2 CODEC: Ok
- FFDSHOW VC-1 set to "wmv9", Ok

Do you have any "CODEC packs" installed on your computer? If so, remove them, reinstall and try again.

[AmigaFuture]

Hi. The version of MKVmerge you're using with BD Rebuilder is 2.9.70, and the version I have installed and using with a GUI is 5.2.0.0 which does support .SUP files. It uses a module for them, like AC3. Perhaps that info useful to you?

Is there any way to make TSMUXER less (?) intense on Systems? Anyone else notice it bringing a Fast 64-Bit 7 system to a crawl when trying to start/run new programs which run smooth otherwise while it's DeMuxing? I understand how HDD heads operate; Thanks. I'm trying to notice if it's a bug with it or with BD Rebilder...or?

...[settings listed]...

It could be for a number of reasons -- but it's likely because you have deinterlacing and resizing enabled. When either of those is used it requires AVISYNTH and therefore forces the 32 bit X264 version.

[DKdude]

Let's try something else.

It could be for a number of reasons -- but it's likely because you have deinterlacing and resizing enabled. When either of those is used it requires AVISYNTH and therefore forces the 32 bit X264 version.

Got it.

Thanks (also for your beautiful software)

i have problem with Artificial Intelligence: AI Blu-ray
the process good finished (without errors), but don't create the structure of the blu-ray:

best regards If those files are not there -- then they aren't there on the source. BD-RB copies the basic structure (including those files) intact.

@zorro101

Hi!

I had no such problem with "AI", nor have I ever come across a commercial Blu-ray disc that did not contain those two files.

Is your source material a commercial Blu-ray disc?

Hi there,

Can someone help me with the error? I am using this at my home PC and I love it! Trying to get it working on my work PC with very similar hardware and it does not compute. I have done everything I can think of, which is not much.
I appreciate any help. I love this software!

Thank you. First try reinstalling BD Rebuilder, AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW. Most of the time the issue if caused by some other program intercepting or overwriting settings. If that doesn't work, try the instructions in this link. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1550385#post1550385) Please let me know either way how it works out.

[jdobbs]

@DKdude

Now that you're working, can you do me a favor? Can you install one-at-a-time and see whether it was FFDSHOW or HAALI that fixed your issue?

Also, can you post what kind of processor you are using on the computer that had issues? I'd like to see what is common about computers that need the older FFDSHOW/HAALI version(s).


@Everyone

Is anyone else experiencing issues when they use the versions of HAALI and/or FFSHOW linked in the first post? I seem to remember someone else mentioning this before.

No problems here. Using Windows 7 Pro, 64 Bit. :cool:

None here whatsoever, updated them as soon as you changed the versions and all is working just fine here.

Backing up "Lost" should be no problem.

[henryperu77]

Ok what link ??

[[SLiM]D12]

Per my previous post, has anybody backed up Men In Black? The ensuing video plays for a few mins, but no matter what scene you shuffle to, it doesn't move, the audio does but the video stays stuck. Movie-only backup works, but not full backup.

[AmigaFuture]

@[SLiM]D12

I noticed that with the movie Starman, but when noticed AnyDVD's tray was still running in the background, though not in the System Tray, even after I exited AnyDVD after a couple uses of TSMUXER I noticed the Starman render did the same thing you described. Video stopped at one point but I could still hear. I terminated the AnyDVD tray, and ran AnyDVD program. Good render now. I hope that helps.

[[SLiM]D12]

@AmigaFuture Hrm, that's a good point, but on the machine i'm trying on, AnyDVD isn't installed...

Look under "SETTINGS/ENCODE SETTINGS/Quality" if it is set to "Automatic Quality" BD Rebuilder will choose the quality setting needed (it could be 1 or 2 pass). If not, you can select whatever you want. Two pass is the default, and one-pass can be selected (ABR or CRF).

Most of the time 2-pass is used with automatic selection, but if the source is exceptionally small it may not. I recommend you leave it on "Automatic".

I have avisynth 2.8 MT installed working fine on my PC, but i needed to remove and install normal avisynth to use with BDRebuilder.. It is possible to use Avisynth 2.8 MT with bdrebuilder?? i know the MT is sometimes buggy with some filters but avisynth dont use them i guess crash errores will not be a problem..
