BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Race Guy]

interlaced encode playing pack juddery compaired to the original. Just backed up Batman Dark Knight, the extras are interlaced but play back fine. The reencode though is very juddery in comparison. Would this be down to a field order mix up? havent got a standalone player to try it on. Used TMT3 and also mpc but it still juddery. Noticable on the helicopter flyin/over on the shooting in imax section. The feature is siky smooth but the interlaced extras are unbarable :(

Add
DEINTERLACE=0
to your ini file & see if that smooths 'em out.

just wanted to report back that 32.05 works fine so far with different BD9 conversion i have done.

[gwendal13]

Can anyone else confirm issues with v0.32.05 and Panasonic players using BD-25?

I have had problems with Drag Me To Hell and Groundhog Day Region A BD25 Full Disk playing on Panasonic BD35. Used BD versions .31.08 (?), .32.02, .32.03 & .32.05. BD player will get to the studio video at beginning of disk and then freeze and won't go any further.

Had successful BD25 Region A burns of Dark Knight, Hangover, I Robot, Live Free or Die Hard, Monster vs. Aliens, Poltergeist, Ugly Truth, North By Northwest. All play on my Panasonic BD35 without any (for the most part) problems.

Any comments?

Thanks!

[Tripledrop]

I seem to be having similar problems (I think) with Metallica: Français pour une nuit. I have tried shrinking it twice now, and both times it loads the intros, the menu briefly appears on screen, then disappears, and you can't get it back (or watch the movie). Also there's no sound on the menu like there is originally.

Any ideas?

Millenium and 30 days of night region B: audio is played with blank screen the two are 24 fps

Hi, does the BD30 have the HDMI option to turn off 24fps as does the later BD35 etc and if so did you try the option?

[Discoboy]

Can anyone else confirm issues with v0.32.05 and Panasonic players using BD-25?

Up until now I have only been interested to backup in movie only mode to BD5/9, but due to your request I purchased a BD-RE disk for testing purposes.

With v32.05 (beta) I made a full movie backup of Pandorum region B to BD25 with full HD audio kept + 2 pass encoding = OK BD35 SAP playability

[gwendal13]

Hi, does the BD30 have the HDMI option to turn off 24fps as does the later BD35 etc and if so did you try the option?

24p is for 23,976 fps

i'll test 30 days of night with 24p disabled



Operation thunderball play with BD30 et 32.05. Strange !!!! It appears to have the same BR structure.

[Data24]

aahh.. ok.. then i think the reason is that the files are flagged to be kept intact.. thanks.. i didn't know that this is possible.. :thanks:
There can be lots of reasons.

1. The source isn't 1080p. Lots of sources on BD are 720x480/576 -- especially on bonus discs.
2. If that particular source is flagged to be kept intact (menus for example)
3. The source is being left alone for some other reason (like embedded graphics that depend on size, etc.)
4. The stream will fit in the allocated space with its current state (so reencoding isn't needed).

So the bottom line is that is isn't a "problem" -- it is doing what it is supposed to do.

Try adding MIN_M2TS_SIZE=700 to the BDREBUILDER .ini file. You can copy and past it from the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file. This should keep the menus from being re-encoded (I think this command means do not re-encode anything under 700 Mb). If you still have the problem try a larger number. I use this command this for all concert blu-rays because for some reason thier menus refuse to work after being re-encoded.

30 days of night BD25 with 24p disabled on BD30 works.

i'll reencode with down-convert dts master audio. perhaps a problem with 24fps and dts ma when 24p actived.

[Capsbackup]

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before or has affected anyone else, but a recent full movie backup of the region A version of A Serious Man, to BD-9 had something I have never experienced before.
This movie has BD Live, and the AnyDVD HD rip keeps it working.( It is not disabled ) When the movie starts playing on the PC, it states that a fresh preview is being loaded from the internet, and then starts playing. When finished, returns to the main menu and when I select play the movie, it starts and plays perfectly fine.
Since I don't watch my movies this way I burn to DVD+R DL and watch on my Sony S360. The burn goes successfully with ImgBurn, but when I start the disc in the Sony S360, it starts to load and shows the play >, but only a black screen and no time clock moving.
Out of curiosity, I try this same disc on my older Sony BX-1, and now it works and starts to play, but no fresh preview is loaded from the internet, but just straight to the main menu. Press play movie, and all works perfectly.
So now I want to try again on the newer Sony S360, but first I remove the ethernet cable and 2GB memory stick, and now the disc works and plays the movie perfectly!
Could BD Live not be compaible with AVCHD/DVD media?
I have not tried but a few BD5/9 full movie backups, but usually do movie only. My full backups have been to BD-R/RE.
Perhaps this could be the cause of some reported "bugs", when in fact BD-RB is not the reason. :confused:

I have "A Serious Man", and will see what happens when I back it up. There was a similar report a few pages back where selecting "Remove BD Live" in AnyDVD fixed an issue. It could be that I should recommend that all rips have that setting enabled... I'll test and see.

This certainly seems to have all the earmarks of someone using "BD Live" as a copy protection mechanism, doesn't it?

Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go :)

That usually just means that the disc either wasn't seated properly, already had data on it, the image was too large, or the disc wasn't registered yet (was just inserted). In the end ImgBurn looked at the disc and said "I can't write to this right now." When it happens you just open up the drive, reinsert the disc, wait for it to register, and try again (click on "Burn Current Disc (with ImgBurn)" from the FILE menu).


Weird, cause the disc was seated nicely no finger prints no nothing. Registered fine in Windows Explorer. I did do a manual project burn and resulted in IMGBurn opening and closing again immediately after all in about 2 seconds. However when i fired up IMGBurn manually and went to the build mode to write no problems there. Burnt without a hitch and the backup itself also played perfectly on the standalone panasonic. As all my full disc backups have and that's about 20 discs or something.

I'm about to start a new backup process for mummy 3 and ill post again bout the results.

[colinhunt]

Ohh-kay, I finally had a moment to check some of my previous encodes, all of which worked perfectly in Arcsoft TMT3. I burned a few of them on BD-R discs earlier today and played them on a PS3 and an Oppo BD-player. All discs made with 0.32.02 and 0.32.03 go straight into the rubbish bin, as the video stream is incompatible with both SA players. There was one exception which worked, but that was because the video stream was a direct copy, i.e. no re-encoding.

I was pretty sure the culprit with 32.02 and 32.03 had been NAL-HRD, but a few encodes made with 31.08 played fine in both stand-alones. According to changes.txt NAL-HRD had already been implemented in 31.08, however.

[Capsbackup]

It is always a good idea to test to BD-RE for compatibility before burning to BD-R. :rolleyes:
Software players can play discs that standalones may not. Perhaps, before you discard those ones, you could try them on other mfg. Blu-Ray players to see if they work on a brand different than yours. :cool:

[Ch3vr0n]

As promised, i'm reporting back. The mummy backup job just finished without a hitch in about 8hrs. Standard duration here on this rig. It was probably a one time hiccup thingy. Just wanted to let you know, keep up the good work.

[Nico8583]

Hello,

I use BD Rebuilder and it works fine on my Windows 7 32 bit.
I am currently testing the Strict AVCHD compatibility with the PS3.

But I would like to install Windows 7 64 bit on my computer. Does BD Rebuilder is compatible? I read in the introduction should not modify the files provided with the software.

Thank you.

[colinhunt]

And bears crap in the woods, I know. I would certainly have tested with BD-RE, but as it happens, every single encode was slightly too large to fit on an RE. That was again not BD-RB's fault.

Any suggestions or information regarding this error would be most appreciated. Thanks. Weird. That error happens in a small loop where files are renamed (1605). It gets a name from the operating system, and then renames it. The error 53 means that the file to be renamed doesn't exist. I don't know how that is possible...

[Capsbackup]

I would certainly have tested with BD-RE, but as it happens, every single encode was slightly too large to fit on an RE. That was again not BD-RB's fault.


If the BD-RE is formatted with IMGBurn, and if you go to settings, and select " Prefer Format Without Spare Areas ", your BD-RE will now be very equivalent in size to a BD-R.
This is another reason jdobbs leaves some room in his calculations for encoding, as to try to prevent this. :rolleyes:

[colinhunt]

All my BD-RE discs came pre-formatted with spare areas, and reformatting them to a larger size can not be achieved with Quick format or on-the-fly while burning the disc. Yeah, I can't be arsed to reformat them, being an impatient bastich :)

[k-c-ksum]

Add
DEINTERLACE=0
to your ini file & see if that smooths 'em out.

still a mess :( which command can i set to just throw away the odd or even fields and have it
encoded progressive.?

You are correct, a Full format is required, and it takes me, though only once is necessary, about 1:45:00.:cool:

[colinhunt]

Yes. I've been using NAL-HRD for some time now, but there were some recent changes...
I re-did one of the malfunctioning ones with 0.32.05 and burned it on a BD-RE. Works fine on the PS3 and Oppo 83.

[drmih]

I tend to do most full backups to bd-9 and have been very pleased with the quality. However, I have always thought that the 'extras' are not very good resolution wise. I don't use 'quicker for extras' and always use 'Highest (Very Slow)'. I have just done a disc (Star Trek - Original Series) which had an extra which was 480i and it's such poor quality (large pixels and very soft images) that I haven't even thought of burning it to a disc. I tried redoing it with SD to HD set, but that was no better and made a mess of the menus (the top third was just a smudge).

As a side issue, I would also say that these discs use multiple angles to allow you to watch the original episode, or one with new CGI (the M2TS files are broken up and jump around depending on which version you use). The bd-9 discs confuse Sony SAPs and forget the sound or get out of sync - they seem okay on another player I have or on a HTPC.

Hi, just upgraded to latest version of BD-rebuilder, trying to do a 25GB re-encode of "There will be blood",

@mochevolete;
Try this:
uninstall your ffdshow, haali and avisynth. Reboot. Download the supported ones at the first page of this bug report thread. Install them.
Then unzip a fresh new BD-RB, right click on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and select run it as administrator."
Then, if that does not work, right click on BD_Rebuilder.EXE and select "Run as Administrator" .
You should be ready to go.

I have done a "sucsessfull backup of Eagle Eye, and the whole F** movie is async...
Then i tried to backup My Man on Fire Disc aaand, let me see.. let me see what happen.. Pass2 freezing again und x264 crashs

Now i'm going back to windows xp.( never touch a running system)

I don't know if this will be helpful, but i get the exact same error on Sin City (Disc1, US) when I try to do a Movie only encode with one english or all english tracks (Tried both since I got the error initially on keeping only one english track.) No problem when I do a full disc encode of the same movie, with all english tracks. For what it's worth.....

Also, I'm new to the forum but wanted to give my props to jdobbs. My head hurts just thinking about how hard you must have worked on this application. I'm very thankful for your efforts!

[eTiMaGo]

Has that (2012) actually been released anywhere? It isn't supposed to be available until March 2nd here in the US... I only ask because I don't respond to bugs except on commercially authored/released discs. With the single exception of ripping with AnyDVD, preprocessing has become my worst enemy.

Not sure if anyone has answered this yet, but it's been out officially in Asia since about a month now :) Had no problems converting it though!

thanks, Nik3133 is what I am using and it is stable. I'm not sure why, but it seems that with each release of FFDSHOW it is hit-or-miss as to whether there will be issues. Also, make sure you use the 32 bit version.

"AVC is not set to libavcodec" is just telling you that it found something that wasn't still set to the way it originally configures it. It looks at each of the FFDSHOW settings anytime it gets an "Encode failed" error.

problem problem problem....

I updated to 32.02 about a week ago, but didn't convert anything til a couple days ago... And the output came out with all blank video... So I saw that 32.05 had been released meanwhile, got that, and also uninstalled then redownloaded FFDshow, AViSynth, and Haali from the first page of this thread, just in case there's a new version of those required.

Now, different problem.. One movie came out just fine, and now another one is giving me the "VC-1 not set to wmv9" error. But, I am on an XP machine and have WMV11 installed, and FFDshow set to disabled for VC-1. If I do try to set it as wmv9, then there's just an Encoding Failed error... any ideas?

[DK]

Sorry to say that running the FULL movie backup test on DVD/DVD-DL is not possible these days.

My Samsung 1600 quit playing BDs (DVDs still worked) and i had to sent it to Samsung's service.
Meanwhile i only have a Philipps player for as a long as the Samsung is serviced.

My Samsung is back from service and the FULL movie test with jar and bdjo files as BD5 does NOT run here.

I'm running another FULL movie BD5 without jar/bdjo now because i'm not even sure the Samsung will accept anything but strict avchd.

I really have no idea -- but either should work ("disabled" or "wmv9") if you have WMV11 installed on an XP machine. Is it VC-1 that you are encoding at the time? The error message just looks to see what is set...

I really wish FFMS2.DLL worked for all video types, it would sure make life a lot easier. I could get rid of the FFDSHOW requirement and the Windows 7 headaches associated with preferred DirectShow codecs.

Yes, this movie is VC-1...

I think it's time to reinstall that PC anyway, it's getting to be very sluggish otherwise...

Funny thing though, I managed to convert the same movie before (but ended up with blanked out video)...

Next testrun with FULL movie BD5 but original DTS audio stream failed as well, now running Full movie BD5 with audio converted to AC3.

@mochevolete;
Try this:
uninstall your ffdshow, haali and avisynth. Reboot. Download the supported ones at the first page of this bug report thread. Install them.
Then unzip a fresh new BD-RB, right click on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and select run it as administrator."
Then, if that does not work, right click on BD_Rebuilder.EXE and select "Run as Administrator" .
You should be ready to go.
thanks for the tip :)
it worked but ... I used last stable ffdshow ver (3285) because the 3133 does not support HD audio pass through

That's your choice, of course, but I can't guarantee it will work.

Encountered a rather "serious" bug here i think. BDRB was halfway through a 5hr process when it suddenly jumped to "complete" and started remuxing the m2ts file. Below the log

Try adding MIN_M2TS_SIZE=700 to the BDREBUILDER .ini file. You can copy and past it from the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file. This should keep the menus from being re-encoded (I think this command means do not re-encode anything under 700 Mb). If you still have the problem try a larger number. I use this command this for all concert blu-rays because for some reason thier menus refuse to work after being re-encoded.

Hey Willobee,

I have been trying for weeks to get Groundhog Day Region A to work in my Panasonic BD-35. I ripped and transcoded as BD25 full disk and the studio logo would play but would go no further. It would not play the Blu-ray ad video or the menus.

I tried your trick above and lo and behold, my Panasonic will now play the BD25 complete with menus. All other movies that I have tried (except for Drag Me To Hell) worked so I could not figure out why Groundhog Day would not. Now I am going to try Drag Me To Hell with the same setting and see what happens.

So the Panasonic BD-35 is very picky about what get transcoded.

Thank you for your tip. I am very please that it worked.

Jdobbs, thanks again for the great program and all the hard work you are putting into it. A donation will definitely be coming your way.
