BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Capsbackup]

Sometimes BD Rebuilder removes the audio stream for the second video stream. What is the condition for BD Rebuilder to do so? Is it possible to force the audio streams to stay?

This is not because of BD-RB. Only DDPlus can be included at this time.

Hi

The problem is that "The Mummy" has well over the 32 subtitles streams. I can see all of them on my s/w player and know which one I need to force BUT only the standard 32 are shown in tsmuxer.

The subtitle stream I need is 36 or something like that (cant remember off the top of my head).

SO either they are some kind of txt only subs that tsmuxer cannot resolve OR the extra (above 32) subs are java generated.

Its the only movie ive come across with this problem.

In "The Mummy" the subtitles over 32 are in different m2ts from the movie... loading the bluray with BDInfo will tell you which these m2ts are (one for each additional subtitle), then you can use textST from deank and you will get the needed subtitles in SRT format.

(You can find more info in the post you started long ago regarding subtitles streams above #31: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146501)

Hi,
my Bd rebuidler doesn't do anything further after a half hour. I don't get any Error Message. Here is a Screenshot. Does anybody know why?

[deank]

I had the same problem with "The Mummy". The forced English subtitle I needed to make sense of the movie was NOT a standard subtitle stream. It was never resolved, may even be a Java prog giving that sub.

Tsmuxer could not see it

I don't know if you remember, but I created a small tool (textST) to extract such subtitle streams to text SRT format, so you can later use/import it.

Here is a link to your thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1329089#post1329089)

edit:... ops, just saw chompy's post :)

Hi

I have had a look with bdinfo but going through all the mpls files and looking at the m2ts structures I cannot see where the relevent extra subtitles are.

Do you know which mpls/m2ts file(s) it is for "The Mummy", that info will give me an example of what to look for.

BTW how do I use txtST, if I try to run it, it just opens a DOS window for a second then closes.

Thanks

[deank]

You will probably see textST subtitles as sub-path m2ts files for your main-movie playlist.

You can drag/drop the .m2ts file with the subtitles to textST.exe and it will create *****.srt file. It is a CLI application, that's why you see the dos window.

(sorry for the off-topic)

In my copy of "The Mummy" the additional subtitles are in the m2ts following the movie m2ts:
The "problem" is that subtitles from #33 to #68 are in separate streams: the first 32 subtitles are in main movie stream (00000.mt2s), but subtitle #33 is in 00001.m2ts, subtitle #34 is in 00002.mt2s...


And in order to get the SRT subtitle from the m2ts you just have to drop it to textST.exe:

textST (CLI) (http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/textST/) (630KB) self extractable 7z archive (contains calclib.dll and textST.exe), or if you're using multiAVCHD then you can download just the executable textST.exe (http://multiAVCHD.deanbg.com/textST.exe)(80kb) and put it in your multiAVCHD folder.

Drag-drop your .m2ts or .pes file to textST.exe - it will create a .srt file, or if using command prompt:

textST in_file [out_file]

* in_file must be in .m2ts or .pes format, containing only textST text subtitle stream (one per file)
* out_file if not set, output will be written to in_file.srt

It does quite basic parsing, ignoring styles, fonts, positions and other information, extracting only the text and timestamps.

Hi Chompy

How did you determin that the extra subs were in the following m2ts files using BDINFO or was it some other way.

If it was with BDINFO could you be really helpfull and step me through it.

Thanks

Sorry to bang in with this, but after re-installing Win7 (RTM 64) i always get theses messages in BD-RB after a fresh and correct installing procedure:
...
- FFDSHOW Revision: (3133)
- Win 7: VC-1 is not configured for FFDSHOW
- Win 7: MPEG-2 is not configured for FFDSHOW

BD-RB works with other codecs, just this one seems to be the issue And yes, they ARE set correctly in FFDShow so i don't understand why theses messages are outputed to debug screen.
I've read at least 30 threads suggestings as many unexplainable solutions - i'm sure there is a simple quick fix.

:thanks:

Have another movie that will not play on my Panasonic BD60, "Did You Hear About the Morgans" when compressed to 25G BD-r media. This particular one I can play on my computer however, when loaded into my BD60, movie won't even load.

Anyone else have this problem?

[e143slime8]

Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremacy burning problem. Used Slysoft 6.6.2.6 along with BDRebuilder 0.32.08. Have backed up over 50 movies to BD-r 25G discs without a hitch (except for Wizard of Oz, would not compress and play). Have just found that neither of these "Bourne" backups will play on my Panasonic BD-60 beyond the "extras" sections. The extras will play fine but when I go to play the movie, the player hangs then reverts back to the Main menu. I am also not able to choose individual chapters to play. The same result occurs, hangs then back to Main menu. Same result on both of the Bourne discs mentioned above.

Any help solving this mystery (to me anyway) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much.

Just a little update. Ended up bypassing BD Rebuilder and burned onto 50G media, Bourne Ultimatum and this worked.

Seems to be a problem in compressed Blu-ray. Not sure if it's my setting.

Any suggestions would still be appreciated.

Thanks again.

:thanks: That means that even though you may have setup FFDSHOW to use the right codec -- FFDSHOW is NOT set as the default for VC-1 and MPEG-2. So the settings you made in FFDSHOW's configuration utility have no affect at all. Usually it means you have some other "CODEC Pack" that is overriding it. When you start BD-RB does it try to reconfigure it? It will do it every time you load BD-RB unless you told it to suppress the message. If you did decide to suppress it, then remove the "SUPPRESS_FF_WARNING" line from your INI and restart BD-RB. When it says it needs to configure your FFDSHOW - let it do it. You'll have to "Run as Administrator" for the changes to be made.

I'm getting a encountered error during encode after I changed fddshow and other needed software to the versions stated at the beginning of this thread. Before that bd rebuilder didn't encounter any errors but would not encode correctly because even bd25 encode settings output very small finished product. Now bd rebuilder stats x264.exe encountered an error and needs to be closed. I'm running windows XP and even set VC-1 decoding to "disabled" in FFDSHOW as stated in the first post also.

I have only 1 HD-DVD (Transformers 2-Disc SE). I would like to back it up to Blu-ray using RipBot264. However, when I open RipBot264 it wants FFDshow rev3300 or newer. Of course I only use FFDshow 3133. Is it safe to upgrade FFDshow to rev3300 or newer? What do you recommend I do?

[PhilippeB]

Yes, This is exactly the title i have the problem with: 4th kind.

No, i have no other codec or extra packs of any kind - Only using BD-RB. This is a fresh re-install due to a previous 'Nothing working'. Remooved every thing and reinstalled everything. Now it works, except with VC-1.

Yes, i run BD-RB as administrator each time.

Yes, Each time it says 'It appears your windows 7 System may not be configured for use with FFDSHOW...' and i click 'Yes'. Each time it says it has successfully been configured.
But then again, if i exit and re-enter, it will fail again and re-ask to configure...

If i try to launch the process, each time it finishes unmuxing and gets to the encoding part, it times out on the encoder:

@Nerz;
A couple suggestions to try.
Uninstall Avisynth, ffdshow, and haali. reboot. Reinstall those three programs. Setup ffdshow as suggested, with libavcodec for .x264/avc, libmpeg2 for mpeg2 (or libavcodec if that does not work), and VC-1 to disabled since you have WMP11 installed.
If that does not work, try to add MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250 (or 500) to below the "options" in the BDREBUILDER.ini and see if that will get you past this VID_0008.
If you have any other codec packs installed, uninstall them. Some program you installed has set a different priority order for the decoding of these files.

[Capsbackup]

@PhilippeB;
BD-RB will work with Win 7 and VC-1.
Suggestion:
Delete your folder with BD-RB and unzip a fresh new one. I placed my BD-RB folder on the desktop, but you could place it directly in C:\. Try it in one of these places for now.
Open this new, fresh BD-RB folder and follow the suggestions:

For whatever it's worth my setup is Win 7 x64. My settings for ffdshow are for H.264/avc (libavcodec), Mpeg 2(libmpeg2) and for VC1 (wmv9) w/ window media 11 installed. I've had no problems with VC1 sources. Good luck!

All I can say for sure is that there are several later revisions that have issues and don't work with X264. I have no idea why -- as I've just seen the BD-RB bug reports that go away when you revert to 3133.

@jdobbs;
It has been quite some time, but I just tried a full backup to BD-5 of a Universal title(Couples Retreat), and though the backup finished successfully, when the main movie is playing back on either of my Sony's, S360 or BX1, there is no audio heard or subtitles displayed. I know this was an issue some time back, but I thought it had been corrected. :confused:
I can set the english subtitle through the menu, but it still is not displayed. Also, trying to change subtitle tracks from the remote while the movie is playing does nothing.
For the audio, I chose to keep one english 640kbps 5.1AC3, which is heard when playing back on my PC, but not on the standalones.
Also, normally my receiver will display Dolby Digital while playing back this type of audio, but for this movie, it only displays "Stereo", which is what I see when playing back a 2.0 AC3 audio file. The display on the Sony Player does display the correct DD 5.1 audio, but, for whatever reason, this information is not being transmitted to the receiver. I am not able to select/change the audio track thru the remote either, as nothing happens when I select/press the audio button on the remote. For my other backups, pressing the audio button will display the other audio tracks available, but continue with the english audio I chose to keep.
So what could be so different/unique about Universal titles that causes this unheard audio and not displayed subtitles? :confused:

When BD Rebuilder makes those changes, it checks them to make sure they have been changed -- and tells you if they aren't. If it is coming back again later telling you they weren't -- then something -- either you or some other software are setting them back...

Buying it or not - this is what is happening. If you want, i can Film it to you with my digital camera while i click it and send the vdo to you wherever you want. (You may include extra steps to have me look in the registry where you modify the keys to see if they indeed have been modified or not).

Meanwhile, there is nothing else running in my machine when i do this so i fail to see what would undo the changes.

I would really appreciate if somebody can bring some other input because VC-1 is like almost 25% of everything on Blu-Ray. Not being able to use that codec is a big loss.

Previous versions of BD-Rebuilder had worked fine for me with VC-1 on the same machine. The only thing that changed recently is Win7 RC1 -> Win7 RTM, and BD-Rebuilder i had to upgrade because previous version had expired.
Otherwise it was working perfectly before that.

There must be some software installed on your PC that is preventing BD-RB's use of ffdshow to decode VC-1 files.
Also: Uninstall Avisynth, ffdshow, and haali. reboot. Reinstall those three programs.

Agreed, no problems with VC-1 sources just did Pitch Black successfully (movie only) vc1-wmv9 ffdshow setting w/windows media 12 installed.

Good to hear! OK then, I guess will take you off the flog list! :p

Of course i did - It's a 1 minute step for me. I redownloaded BD-rebuilder from the top of this thread and unzipped it to the desktop. I right-clicked and ran it as ADMINISTRATOR, said yes, told me everything was patched fine and proceed to my VC-1 title.

Of course, it didn't work.

One question titling my mind is, if BD-rebuilder is, like jdoobs said, check for it's modification to work befaire displaying is successfully setted up things, how come that same BD-Rebuilder re-asks me for setting it up the next time i run it like 5 seconds after ?
As a programmer myself, i can only conclude that the test that he does after doing whatever is necessary to validate his changes is not the same as the test performed at the opening of BD-Rebuilder otherwise things would stick ?

Anyone sees a failure in my analysis ?

For Gerald, i know VC-1 is working with BD-RB and Windows 7 as i used to have it working before i was forced to upgrade GRRR ! My life was simple at that time lol !

Anyways, anybody (by any chance) have the path of the registry keys that need to be modified so i can try to do it by hand ? Or is it more than a matter of modifying some keys ?

:thanks:

I just lost my whole post GRRR - Re-Writing Again...

Yes i did your suggestion - it's a one minute try - re-downloaded from the top of this thread, unzipped, ran as admin - said everything was ok, went to proceed with VC1, failed, exited, re-ran it, and asking again for modifying the config...

Now everybody trry to follow my thinking: If BD-RD validates its change after doing it, and it says that it was successfull, how come that same BD-RB says it is not configured next time i run it (like 5 seconds after that ?)

JDoobs ? Can't be the same test you do at program execution than after modidying whatever has to be modified ?

:thanks:

PS: I don't think the problem is with the direct show registry as Newer MP 12 uses media foundation class, not direct show anymore. So whatever the changes that may be done on the direct show side won't affect unless i re-route thing from mfc to direct show ? (Or am i completely lost ?)

PS2: Sorry for the repetition - this Message board said it scrapped my message first time, it seems like it didn't afterall.

That's just my point. If BD-RB sees the change the first time, and then when run again it isn't there. There HAS to be something changing it back in the mean time... either that or we have to believe start believing in alien intervention. I'm not prepared to do that at this time.

I hate to contradict your last post -- but the problem is very definitely the DirectShow registry. That's what is being inspected by BD-RB when it starts... if the correct entry isn't there for VC-1 in the preferred list -- then the wrong CODEC is attempting the decode. BD-RB is looking at it and seeing that (very definitely) the wrong codec is there. The media foundation class has nothing to do with BD-RB -- because it isn't being used, DirectShow is being accessed through the AVISYNTH filter.

Thx I appreciate that I really wasn't looking forward to it lol.
P.S.Thx again for the great program jdobbs!

everything was fine until that I noticed you're resizing to 720p. That error (in your circumstance) usually means there is a subtitle stream that just won't resize, deselect the substreams one at a time until you find out which one it is...

ohh i see, thx man!

@jdobbs;
Just curious if the apparent non-working audio and subtitles on Universal titles doing a full backup to BD5/9 media is affecting you too during playback on your Sony S360?

Ouuuu ! Alien intervention ! This is exactly what my problematic VC-1 title is about ! (4th kind).
So now we found the bug LOL !

Seriously, can you provide, as i asked before, the registry paths i should be looking into (and what values they should be after BD-RB intervention ?) so at least i can start debugging something ?

:thanks:

Hello friends I am here to discuss that today assemble a new PC, with a DP55KG intel i7 860 processor, 2 sata samsung of 1 T, just after installing all the software, install the final BD-RB and gave me my chance the same mistake his friend PhiiipeB, I install everything correctly and set as it should be and also the BD-RB reconfigure.
Solution reinstall software W7 and noticing that was what hurt him, now operate normally, let alone a wonder encoding time.
Sorry for my bad English. this is goggle translate
