BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[coldhammer]

so staying on track i still have the issue with all bd rebuilder bluray structures crashing mkv conversion apps.

[sidneysides]

Was there a "*" or "**" in the streams list for the video in question?

I don't have the original now so not sure - why, what would this indicate?

[Adub]

Don't want to sound rude... but this is a BD Rebuilder bug thread... let's try and keep on topic.

Ah, yes of course. My apologies. That conversation was probably best held via PM. Please ignore my indecency.

Continue on jdobbs! Just wanted to report that I made my first AVCHD backup completely flawlessly on my new Windows 7 32-bit install. Thanks for your wonderful program jdobbs!

[drmih]

I have just come across a problem doing The Last Emperor - Criterion to bd-9. Although the disc and HDD rip play fine, the bd-9 has a silent main audio track (the commentary is okay). I tried playing the actual m2ts steam on a pc and there is no audio. The original main audio was DTS-HD XLL stereo, where as the bd-9 says ac3 (in bd-rb). If I try and read the bd-9 stream into tsmuxer, it says 'unsupported format'. I'll just do the backup to bd-re which should work as it will be untouched, but for information.

I am trying to backup toy story 2 on a new win7 ultimate 2.7 quad core pc. Had some trouble configing the pc but waws ablr to get it working and made a successful backup of toy story. however i got this error after all the file prepping was complete before the final rebuild bd rebuilder 1200 CopyDirStructure() 00005 1200
I aborted. ran as administrator and tried again...

I have backed up roughly about 25 BD DVDs (movie only) with no problem or just minor hiccups but happy with the results. I have a Qs about the work files that BD Reb build in the folder, what exactly is this file use for? it's roughly twice as large to the BD backup. Can I deleted and still be able to play the backup with out any problems? or can I use it to burn another disc using imgburn without starting from scratch. Just a thought!!:confused:

[Ch3vr0n]

In the BDRB settings you can tick a box that sais "remove workfiles after rebuild". Tick that box and BDRB will auto delete them after the rebuild is complete. They are exactly what the name states. Files needed for the work in progress. BDRB uses those files to rebuild the disc to the size you've selected. The only folder that really matters is the one named after the disc in the main directory. It is that one that you burn (unless you have BDRB auto burn it to disc with IMGBurn), then that one can be deleted too after a burn.

[Freddy68]

I havent used bd rebuilder in a while. But when i tried recently, the process starts fine but around 50% of pass 1 encoding it makes my pc restart. what seems to be the problem? I never had any issues before, I'm running W7 quad core, 4000 MB of memory. Any advice is appreciated.

[Adub]

Have you been overclocking your system recently? If so, you may want to try running some stability tests to make sure your computer is actually stable.

This is not the fault of BD Rebuilder.

[sidneysides]

Whether it uses pulldown and if it is VC-1 picture (field) based.

I will get hold of the original again and have a look. What do I need to change if it is one of these then?

Wierd. Here's what I get when I run it.

Oh... I got it now. I'd used a fixed path in my code for testing and never changed it back. I just replaced the "inspect.exe" file on the download. Note: The MP4BOX/FAAC is actually related to the next release.Sorry, I'm late to this thread so I might have missed it, and I have to ask...

The first post of this thread talks about using "recommended versions" and for FFDSHOW links to an older version than inspect.exe apparently reports about your system. (3133 is linked in the first post, 3326 on your system per the above post)

Is FFDSHOW 3326 ok to use with BD Rebuilder 0.32.08 (March 8th, 2010)? or should we stick with the version linked in the first post?

I would like to know this too, because FFDShow revision 3326 supports DXVA playback for h264, right?

[woodman]

I have just done 2 full backups of the incredible hulk, the first one with “quicker” encode for extras checked and that came out under size(movie about 8gb with the hd audio)and over size extras around 13gb, just like District 9 backup. The second one unchecked “quicker” encode for extras and that came out ok size wise, although it did take 50 hours to do. I would like to use “quicker” checked because of the time difference on encoding. The other problem I’m having is jerky video, on this movie and others, not sure what the cause is I’m getting no errors from BD rebuilder. Using 0.32.08

If it's not a standalone player you are probably seeing issues with the playback, not the encode.

If it's taking 50 hours to encode, I'd suggest you move up to a modern processor... even in high quality mode a reasonably recent processor (two years old or so) should only take a quarter of that time (e.g. my Phenom 9500).

Ok, I'll give it a try... I plan on doing a backup of Toy Story (Movie only to DVD9) later today.. I'll post back how I make out, after it finishes and I get to watch the movie from the backup (probably tomorrow).

[jdobbs]

tested on standalone player. i have a dual core 2.50 proccessor You'll have to give me an example or description of what you're seeing. "Jerky" can mean lot of different things. I can't imagine why this would happen on one computer and one standalone player but not others...

1. Please post your results from running INSPECT.EXE.
2. What kind of video is the source (that is jerky)?
3. What disc is it? Is it an original?
4. Is it output to BD-5, BD-9, BD-25?
5. What encode quality settings?
6. Is it all encodes, or certain ones? Main feature or extras?

Looking back at your previous posts, you've been experiencing a lot of very odd problems... I have to believe you have some type of configuration issue.

Since I'm tired of reports of failed encodes (just like you are I guess), sometime next week I'll try to post a link to a small tool I'm preparing. It includes H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 and VC-1 short samples and does a basic encoding of few seconds of video to check if user's PC is able to handle these codecs via directshow.

It will check avisynth presence, haali ability to split video and audio and x264 ability to encode video served by avisynth from directshow source with these video codecs.

I think it will make life much easier for both coders and users. :)

I assume you're the same Adub that made the video here (http://adubvideo.net/videos/blu-ray-backup-with-bd-rebuilder)? Pretty cool.

[shon3i]

If someone not notice, x264 now have official Blu-Ray support. So if anyone can update to r1050 form www.x264.nl and test on player to see is everything work normaly

It may be my imagination -- but it seems to be a bit faster also.

[saphire199]

Hey, first of all, I really like the new "inspect" tool. Let's you know right away that you have all your basics in and provides a first debug for any problems.

And on that note, my inpect shows all ok and I am wondering if anyone else has run into this - I am trying out the feature to make an iso file with Imgburn after BDRB finishes, but I am finding it takes hours to complete. When I take the same file (the completed BDRB file) and make an iso seperately, it does it in about 5 minutes tops. I am making DVD9 discs mostly, movie only. Thanks

I'll do some testing -- but when I tested it right after implementing it, it took only a few minutes. Any chance your disc is getting close to full? That could make a huge difference.

Yes my mistake :P i mean r1510

btw i inspect commandlines you use, and saw that High Quality not use real High Quality option's that should and x264 can provide. I mean this can be very usefull for BD5/9. Why not just stick with x264 profiles, will be nice, with some tweaking like for example deblock.

[Adub]

Probably because sometimes x264's profiles are not Blu-ray / AVCHD compatible.

[shon3i]

Probably because sometimes x264's profiles are not Blu-ray / AVCHD compatible.
None of current x264 profiles are Blu-Ray/AVCHD compilant without special switches so

You can use all x264 presets for example

--preset placebo --tune film and after that overwrite all necessary options like

--level 4.1 --ref 4 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 2 --vbv-maxrate 14745 --vbv-bufsize 14745 --slices 4 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --sar 1:1 --colorprim "bt709" --transfer "bt709" --colormatrix "bt709" --b-pyramid strict

which need to achieve BD/AVCHD compatibility

[drmih]

Check and see if the .AC3 was created properly and plays (in the WORKFILES folder).

As expected the bd-25 was fine but I've just tried the bd-9 again. There is the same issue. When I look in the Workfiles directory the first two m2ts files have a DTS-HD stereo main audio and ac3 secondary. The m2ts files play but the first audio is silent, the secondary plays. When the m2ts files are read into tsmuxer, they both report 'unsupported format'. For information, the two dts tracks in the Workfiles directory play okay.

No, I do not. Download it with a friend but not around. He lives far away

[Priapismic]

@woodman, looks like the ffdshow setting for VC-1 is the problem. Set it to wmv9 and try again.

[woodman]

@woodman, looks like the ffdshow setting for VC-1 is the problem. Set it to wmv9 and try again.

thanks for helping.
i set the ffdshow as per instuctions

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"

[Warbucks81]

Jdobbs, I was wondering how difficult it would be to implement some way to tell BD-RB to only encode up to a certain timecode. I prefer to cut the credits from my backups.

[Mark_Venture]

That's the one I've been testing (and why it shows "Ok"). I've been running it for a couple of weeks with no issues. It's probably ok. I'd suggest you try it, and if you have no issues, report back. I'll probably update the first link soon if I don't see issues. If you do, please step back to 3133 and report that too.Ok, so I took my working Windows XP system, with FFD 3133, and BD REbuilder v0.32.08, as well as the other versions of avisynth, etc linked in the first post that had been working just fine.

I went and upgraded only FFD Show to 3336.

First test... Toy Story Bluray to Movie Only BD-9. Encoder setting as Normal priority, High Quality (default).

It completed successfully, plays in my LG BD-390 and looks great.

The original is now safely in the cabinet, and my Son is happy because he can watch it whenever he wants :)

I'll be trying Toy Story 2 later tonight. I'll report back.

[Nerz]

Ok so I unfortanately still have not been able to find my problem. as a refresh my inspect.exe log is below. VC-1 disabled because of wmp-11 and xp. However does the same when set to wmv-9. After extracting the first m2ts file, windows encounters an error x264 needs to be closed. However I tried another program AVCHDecoder by twan, not sure if anyone is familiar with it. It is very similar to BD Rebuilder, it uses FDDShow, Haali splitter and AVISYNTH. I've actually been able to use it to backup Law Abiding Citizen seamlessly. Took almost 3 whole days but I kinda expected this due to having a AMD 64 3000+ processor. Just wondering what could be the difference, if anyone is familiar with the program, with the way BD Rebuilder uses x264.exe and this AVCHDecoder. Just wondering because there are some functions I like about BD Rebuilder, and just for the case of bug reporting because maybe someone else might be having the same problem?

Hello,

I have an odd problem. I want to convert a 25fps MKV to play in my PS3. My source is a 13GB MKV file. TSMUXER GUI 1.10.6 reports it as 1920X1080i, 25fps, VC-1, Profile advanced 3. I demuxed the source, with TSMUXER, used eac3to to slowdown the audio. Then I took the resulting .vc1 video converted to a .ts file at 23.976 with TSMUXER. Finally I remuxed the video and audio as a BD disk.

If I burn the resulting BD files to a BD-R. My PS3 plays the video with the image compressed in the top 1/2 of the screen only. Audio is fine and in sync with the video. PLaying the same files on my PC shows normal, as is playing on an LG BD370 BD player.

I extracted a 1 minute segment from the original, re-encoded the video with BD REbuilder 0.32.08 to a DVD-5 with forced encode=1, and the resulting output plays on the PS3 fine. Running BD-Rebuilder with forced encode and setting the size to BD25 and the output is still 1/2 height on the PS3 but fine on the PC and the BD370.

THis one displays compressed:

The only difference is that with output set to DVD-5 it looks good, with output set to bd-25 it's compressed.

I use IMGBURN 2.5.1.0 to burn the 'bd-25' output to a Panasonic BD-RE, and the 'dvd-5' output to a DVD-RW.

What would cause the PS3 to play this at 1/2 height? Other videos I've taken (.mkv's, BD's, etc) have never caused me problems, is it something unique to 1080i, 25fps converted > 23.976? My PS3 does not play 25fps source (the LG does without problems, but that's in a different room), so I need the 23.976 source. The odd part is that shrinking down works fine, but keeping it the same size (and with forced re-encode) doesn't.

Thanks for any suggestions! I apologize in advance as this is not strictly a BD REbuilder problem, altough the problem shows up under one configuration and goes away under a slight different setup.

BTW - BD Rebuilder is a GREAT program - many thanks for all the work on this. I have backed up dozens of BD's and MKV's without issue, but this one is puzzling!

new info: Since this was a 1 minute extract, I tried both outputs written to a BD-RE and they look compressed. Both outputs written to a DVD-RW look good. So how would the different disk structures affect the the way the output is displayed?

Ok so I unfortanately still have not been able to find my problem.

Can you play any of the .m2ts files within the stream folders of a BluRay rip with Media Player Classic?
Can you create an Avisynth script of one of these .m2ts files, using Directshowsource, and can you play that .avs file with MPC?

I'm assuming you mean viewing .m2ts directly after ripping with AnyDVD because Bd rebuilder will not encode. I can view these fine. Not exactly sure about how to others being that I've never tried. I'll have to research.

@jdobbs,

FYI I’ve tested V0.32.08 (beta) with JEEB’S 32bit x264 r1510 patched with the now official NAL-HRD on a movie only 2-pass project = OK Panasonic BD35 SAP playability

I've successfully made 2 movie-only backup's using JEEB’S 32bit x264 r1510 patched with the now official NAL-HRD and FFDshow 3326 just an fyi.

If you create an Avisynth script of one of your .m2ts files using Directshowsource, just like BD-RB would if it were to reencode it, and just right click that .avs file and select play with MPC to see if it will play. Try this for a VC-1 .m2ts file.
If it wont play, what does the error message say.

Hmmm... I'll do some testing -- but when I tested it right after implementing it, it took only a few minutes. Any chance your disc is getting close to full? That could make a huge difference.

No, all my drives for Blu-ray are 1tb or more, I clean them and defrag regularly. I am going to recheck all settings and try again and will report back.
