BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Capsbackup]

I'll look at it. Can you give me an example disc and settings? Also -- is it a java supported disc (are the JAR files)?

Two of the movies are Precious and New Moon.
Settings are High Quality (Default), full backup, BD 9, and no boxes checked in Setup.
Both titles are java supported too.

ok, here's the thing.. I backed up 'Law Abiding Citizen' (which is AVC/Mpeg4) and it worked BEAUTIFULLY. But I am still having an issue with the VC-1 codec and I re-installed the ffdshow AND Avi- synth.. Going to re-install the Matroska now. But, I really do think there is something amiss here...

[Brian5970]

ok! sorry guys...it was the matroska installation! Go back to JDobbs original version and try that.. worked for me..

@Capsbackup

Hi!

on both software players and my Sony S360...Only after the conclusion of the movie and the return to the main menu is this black screen with only the button selections present...Two of the movies are Precious and New Moon.

I just wanted to let you know that I too made a FULL disc BD-9 of "Precious", but it doesn't display the behavior you described. Upon completion of the movie, the full menu screen appears, with all background intact (and, of course, active buttons).

I used the recently added "Full disc (decrypted) BluRay backup" capability of "MakeMKV" for the initial copy/backup/"rip"...

[Capsbackup]

@setarip_old;
Though I would not think this would be rip related, and I used Anydvd hd, it may be an isolated occurrence. The original rip and my full backup to BD-25 did not display this same behavior though.
I have only recently been trying full backups to BD5/9 media, since my previous attempts, back in the BD-RB beginning, were not very successful.
Thanks.

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

I do most of my full backups to BD-25 now, so I might have missed something. I'm doing a bd-9 backup of "Precious" right now. I'll let you know how it looks when it finishes.

[brogan]

Good to know, Brian...I've uninstalled & re-installed w/no luck...also, re-downloaded the files from the 1st page & tried to install them (again) w/no luck...as far as VC-1 encoded BD goes, I'm dead in the water right now...very strange, I didn't have these problems when I was using Windows 7 RC only after I upgraded to the full featured version...

[Capsbackup]

I do most of my full backups to BD-25 now, so I might have missed something. I'm doing a bd-9 backup of "Precious" right now. I'll let you know how it looks when it finishes.

Thanks for checking this one out. Perhaps I will reconsider BD9 full movie backups and do them to BD-25 too.
( I must have two to three copies of many titles just from testing anyway.:p )

Side note: Have you tried Couples Retreat to full backup to BD5/9 media?
My test, though worked perfectly on my PC, would not play the audio nor would the subtitles display while playing back on my Sony S360.
This is a Universal title, which seems to have not been one I have luck with when backed up to BD5/9 media.
BD-25 full movie backups, for these same titles, work perfectly!

BD-25 full movie backups, for these same titles, work perfectly! I'm pretty sure there is a bug of some kind in the Sony players related to BD-5/9 audio on some Universal full backups. If you write that exact same BD-5/9 image to a BD-RE I'll bet it will playback fine.

Yes, correct. I have tried this too.
OK, thanks for the confirmation.
I guess I will keep Universal titles on BD-25 media for backups. :)

@jdobbs;
On a BD9 full movie backup of New Moon, the issue of the menu only displaying the buttons and not the menu backround picture after conclusion of the main movie, appears to be the "looping" menu not working properly.
There are two .m2ts files associated with the main menu, 00000.m2ts and 00042.mt2s, of which 00042.m2ts plays first and only once, while 00000.m2ts plays after the conclusion of 00042.m2ts and is the looping .m2ts.
However, when the disc starts, after the first (.00042.m2ts) file plays, the menu video freezes/stops playing. At this point, the buttons are still selectable.
This freeze only happens when first playing the disc and not selecting a button before the menu loop, which is 57 seconds for this movie menu.
If you select play the movie, then when the movie finishes, it returns to the other menu video file, 00000.m2ts ( the looping one ) But it will not play, so only the button highlights are displayed and no backround video/picture is present.
I hope this makes sense. :confused: I will check the movie Precious to see if this may also be what happened on this movie.

EDIT:
Though Precious does have a similar menu structure, two different .m2ts files for the looping menu, this is not the cause for this movie.
However, the results are similar, that is after the movie plays, and on return to the main menu, only the button highlights are visible, no menu picture.
The BD-25 version does not display this same behavior. Oh well! :confused:

[Nerz]

Have you installed any CODEC packs? If so, uninstall them.

Ok.So I have done a complete restore on my computer, starting it from scratch hoping this would remove and codecs or other settings/programs that may be causing interference. I have installed all software from first post and I'm still having the same problem. After extracting the first m2ts file, windows encounters an error x264 needs to be closed. I have settings for vc-1 disabled under fddshow after downloading W Media Player 11. When that didn't work I even tried setting to wmv-9 just to see if I could get past that particular point.

[Capsbackup]

@Nerz;
I hear and feel your pain! :p
A complete restore does not necessarily remove any codecs. A reformat will though.
It should not be as difficult for your setup though, especially since you are using Windows XP. There must be some codec at fault. Look in your add/remove programs for any suspect ones.
What other software is installed on your system?
Could any firewall or antivirus program be preventing you from getting started?
Can you open an .avs script with MPC using directshowsource?
ex : DirectshowSource("D:\YOUR_SOURCE\YOUR_FILE\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts", fps=23.976, framecount=10000, audio=false)
Hang in there, you'll find the problem!:cool:

[Nerz]

well the restore did a format of the hd. I'm gonna check and see if any of the pre-installed software could be causing the problem.

Thanks for the help..

I apparently have an older ffdshow installed, never upgraded.
I have VC-1 set to disabled with WMP11 installed.
I have MPEG2 set to libmpeg2
Since everything works for me, and I have not changed anything for many, many months on this OS, I will be leaving it as is! :cool:

[jdobbs]

Copy it to the BD-RB folder and run it from there. If it doesn't know its there -- that's probably a problem, as it can't find the tools.. I just ran it from a fresh install of the zip mine an it worked. Are you expanding the entire zip? You need to.

Yeah, no real reason to upgrade if it works. :) The problems usually start when people upgrade for no reason -- and there are new bugs introduced. Like they say -- if it works, don't fix it.

jdobbs,

Finally figured out which version of HAALI to use. The one in the link on the 1st page didn't work for me. I kept downloading different versions (installing, then checking, uninstalling & starting again) until one was given the "OK" by the inspect.exe...I downloaded the 1-19-2009 version (I believe, not at my home PC at the moment) & that one worked for me. Attempted to rebuild a VC-1 encoded BD50 down to a BD25 & it worked perfectly, as it's done in the past. Thanks for the help, very much appreciated. I'm back in business :)

I've updated the one in the first post to sure its ok. The one I'm using is 1.9.42.1.

[Race Guy]

jdobbs, here's an interesting Win7 "quirk" I've found that I'm surprised hasn't been posted here yet. It applies to both 32 & 64 bit versions.

On a default Win7 install "sleep" after 30 minutes is set in the power options. Vista installs with the same sleep setting too. I've just built 2 quad core 'puters, one an Intel & one an AMD, Win7/64 & Win7/32 respectively.

You would think that with x264 running all 4 cores maxed out, "sleep" would not be possible. But sure enough, you get a 4+ hour encode going & come back 35 minutes later & the 'puter will be asleep!

When you wake it up, the encode picks up where it left off like nothing happened. At first, I thought it was having the encoder set to "Idle Priority", so I switched it to "Normal" & that didn't help. Then I tried "Show Encoder=1" in the .ini file & that didn't help either.

I like sleep. Sleep is GOOD! But for some reason, BD-RB is "invisible" to Win7 while it's running. In Vista, the sleep functions normally. BD-RB finishes it's run, no matter how long it takes & then it sleeps. Same thing on a WinXP rig set to "hibernate". No hibernate till the BD-RB run is finished.

Is there anything you can do to make Win7 "find out" BD-RB is "in process" & to NOT start the sleep timer?

See ya!

[turbojet]

While it doesn't directly affect BD-RB (unless jdobbs checks for avisynth64 if it exists point to 64 bit x264 and includes 2 64 bit dlls) the HMS in the first post doesn't split truehd or lpcm and has no 64 bit splitter. This one (last public beta before final release) (http://www.mediafire.com/?yy5nimzdwed) does have all those things, still has the shell extension and still decodes VC-1.

Real annoying because if it didnt say all ok, at least I'd know where my problem is. Just my luck

[Jagaer]

I think in the link you referenced the command is "quiting almost immediately" because the command line is trying to do a second pass -- and there is no .stats file. You'd have to go back and reattempt the first pass in order to find out what was really the issue. One recommendation in that circumstance would be to change "--pass 2" to "--pass 1" on the command line and see what happens. Historically BD-RB reported X264 issues have almost always been linked back to CODEC problems rather than X264 itself..

The issue is with the x264 program distributed with BDRB and my VM.
I am fairly certain it is not a codec issue as the preview option works, and when the x264.exe was exchanged with the one attached, it worked (and is still working)
I didn't mean that x264 code doesn't support the processor, but the flags used with the compiler generating the executable. (icc with sse4.1 sse4.2)

This is not a BDRB issue, I am just pointing it out for anyone else that has the same issue (again, not certain it is because of the age of the processor in the system, because it is working in a VM or a combination of the CODEC, hardware and VM)

The file I used is the NAL-HRD patched x264 from here: http://x264.fushizen.eu/?tag=x264

Real annoying because if it didnt say all ok, at least I'd know where my problem is. Just my luckBut it does Not say "all ok" does it!? And your problem was/is with VC-1!?

No, i'm using xp with wmv11, which the first post says needs to be set to disabled. Even if i change the settings in fddshow for vc-1, the results are the same

@Nerz;
Can you open an .avs script with MPC using directshowsource on this VC-1 title?

The issue is with the x264 program distributed with BDRB and my VM.
I am fairly certain it is not a codec issue as the preview option works, and when the x264.exe was exchanged with the one attached, it worked (and is still working)
I didn't mean that x264 code doesn't support the processor, but the flags used with the compiler generating the executable. (icc with sse4.1 sse4.2)

The file I used is the NAL-HRD patched x264 from here: http://x264.fushizen.eu/?tag=x264 The X264.EXE included with BD-RB isn't an icc compile -- it's gcc. That should work with any reasonably recent processor. I'm not sure what impact running on a VM might have... but I wouldn't have thought it would stop an gcc compile from executing. Can't say for certain.

Just wondering, I have Haali 1.9.42.1 on my system and it works without problems with DB-RB. Inspect.exe however reports it as "isn't recommended version". I thought 1.9.42.1 is the one we should be using.....

I thought 1.9.42.1 is the one we should be using..... That's the correct version. Since the HAALI files don't have version number embedded in them, INSPECT.EXE does a checksum of the HAALI program directory against what should be there from a clean install. If (for some reason) something has been added or removed from that directory you could get something other than "Ok" -- I can't think of a reason why anyone would do that though.

You may have a corrupt wmp11 (it happens). Try this. Download and reinstall Windows Media Format 11 Runtime.

Go here and click the "Download [ Windows Media Format 11 Runtime ]" link:

Hope this helps. It can't hurt. It worked for me. Good luck!

I can think of one. With Haali's splitter comes bundled an Avisynth filter called 'avss.dll' that enables the famous "DSS2()" source plugin. What may have happened is that the user drag-and-dropped the avss.dll file into his/her plugins folder and didn't copy it.

I am having an issue with every movie i use BD Rebuilder on. I have used custom target size, bd 25 size and also set custom size to larger than the original blue ray. I rip the movie with either anydvd or makemkv. i then run bd rebuilder on the movie to shrink down the size. I am using all of the appropiate versions of files suggested and settings are:

custom target size
one pass cbr
highest quality
keep truehd / dts
one subtitle track
movie only rip

this results in a new bd rebuilder structure. At this point i try to convert the files into an mkv using either makeMkv or tsmuxerGui or mkvMerge. In every case they all fail saying there is something wrong with the files that bd rebuilder is producing. this happens on both my vista and my two xp machines.

this is a break down of what i have tried:

BD > anydvd =blue ray files still play
BD > make mkv = blue ray files still play
BD > anyDVD > makeMKV = mkv file that plays
BD > makeMKV(straight rip to mkv) = mkv file that plays
BD > anydvd > bd rebuilder = blue ray files that play
BD > anydvd > bd rebuilder > makeMKV = make mkv fails saying files are corrupt
BD > makeMKV(decrypt and rip) > bd rebuilder > makeMKV = make mkv fails saying files are corrupt
BD > anyDVD/makeMKV > bd rebuilder > tsmuxer/mkvMerge = make mkv fails saying files are corrupt

every thing works fine up the point that i use bd rebuilder to compress and create a new blue ray movie. after that point everything fails trying to work with the resulting bd rebuilder files.

all the mkv conversion products fail right at the end of their conversion process.

I am completely stumped at this point. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Wait, wait, wait. Your are ripping to an MKV, then encoding with BD Rebuilder BACK to a BDMV structure, and then muxing to an MKV again? May I ask why? If you want to encode your Blu-ray to an MKV, there are plenty more tools out there specifically DESIGNED for Blu-ray to MKV conversion.

Ex: Ripbot, MeGUI, Blurip, HDConvertToX....etc etc.

BD Rebuilder is specifically designed to shrink Blu-rays. Aka Blu-ray -> Blu-ray.

If you want a guide on how to convert your Blu-ray's, I wrote one up for HDConvertToX a little while ago: http://adubvideo.net/how-to/how-to-backup-bluray-with-hdconverttox
It should work just fine for what you want.

Hi!

What you've posted doesn't really indicate any problem with BD Rebuilder-created BluRay "packages".

1) Have you PLAYED your BD Rebuilder created BluRay "packages"? If so, do they play properly?

2) If they do play properly, have you tried burning one to disc and then converting to .MKV?

3) Have you tried using (For a "movie-only" BluRay "package") a program other than BD Rebuilder, such as "multiAVCHD" or "AVCHDCoder" to see if the same behavior is exhibited?

[coldhammer]

Adub:

im not ripping to an mkv > bd rebuilder > mkv. i was just illustrating that a variety of approaches all work up to the point that i get the files rebuilt by bd rebuilder.

Typically i use anydvd to rip to hdd. then bd rebuilder to shrink down the file to around 20 gbs. then take the resulting files, run through makeMKV and turn it into a single mkv file with chapters, audio, subtitles and video.

i like bd rebuilder as it is a quick easy way of stripping the unwanted extras and re-compressing the video to a smaller size. I then turn it into an mkv because it further reduces the size by changing the container and creates a single file that is easily played in a variety of htpc software.

setarip_old:

1) i use xbmc for my front end. currently i can only play the m2ts file directly. which doesnt have chapter info etc. however it will play that file with audio and video correctly.

2) I have not tried burning the file to a disc then converting it. Why would putting the file on a disc first be different than converting straight from the hdd?

3) I have not tried any of the other blueRay package programs.

[coldhammer]

looked at your tutorial for hdconvertox. two questions.

1) does it support pass through of the original dts-ma / true hd stream?
2) are you saying that you need to mux in the subtitles after you run hdconvertox or does the program do it for you?

[Sharc]

That's the correct version. Since the HAALI files don't have version number embedded in them, INSPECT.EXE does a checksum of the HAALI program directory against what should be there from a clean install. If (for some reason) something has been added or removed from that directory you could get something other than "Ok" -- I can't think of a reason why anyone would do that though.
jdobbs, Adub:
All clear now, thanks: I added to the install directory the url of the matroska download page.

1) I believe if you set audio encoding to "copy audio" in the Audio tab, it should pass through the original HD audio. I have contacted the author via PM to confirm and will edit this post when I know for sure.

2) No, HDConvertToX should handle the subs for you. That's the whole reason for the Audio and Subs Selection tab.

Edit: Yep, using the 'Copy Audio' option in the encoding settings for your audio will allow for HD audio pass through. Just remember to uncheck the 'Keep only core' option in then 'Audio and Subs Selection' tab.

[coldhammer]

well if it can pass through the audio that would be a much simpler approach.

[Adub]

I think that's what it does via the "copy" method, but I'll get back to you on that when the author tells me. I'd test it myself, but I don't have any source files at work.

Edit: You may also like Blurip (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152294). It is specifically designed for the Blu-ray to MKV conversion process and supports audio passthrough ("Untouched audio" option) and sub muxing.

I haven't used it in full yet, so I don't have a guide for it quite yet, but I have heard good things, and it looks pretty self explanatory.

Sorry to repost this but I think maybe my post got lost in another conversation...
I am having a little trouble with the fluidity of some scenes. T

I reencoded a Jamiroquai live concert. The original was extremely smooth when panning around the stage. When I watched the reencoded version it was slightly and jerky and blurry during the same panning scenes. The picture itself was fine with regards to sharpness - pretty much the same as the original - it was just during movement. It was a little similar to the old days with CCE when you encoded with the wrong field first, although not anywhere near as bad - I'm just trying to describe it a bit better.

I noticed the same thing happening when I reencoded Monsters Inc, although this time it was during the scrolling on the menu.

I thought that reencoding would not affect the picture in this way, only perhaps slight blockiness or grain.

I tried the Jamiroquai concert full disc and movie only and got the same result - slight motion blur
