BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

For more info I invite you to read the PM I sent you the March 28th Can you send it again? I accidentally deleted about 50 PMs and that was apparently one of them.

[SoniG]

jdobbs : arf, I was answering you. I answered you by PM in copying you my old one. It will be more productive and certainly too technical to be posted here.

[sidneysides]

You always have to worry about field order on an interlaced source. But the deinterlacing code (DEINTERLACE=1) certainly makes it a lot less worrisome. I'd recommend you not mess with things and let BD-RB do its job. If there is a bug, it will be fixed. Playing around with field order and understanding the impact of stream flags isn't something that should be experimented with by the uninitiated...

I remember the days of manual CCE and Scenarist and after waiting 2 days for it to endode finding out that the field order was wrong!

:devil:

[sidneysides]

Just wondered how good the new automatic quality setting is? I've always encoded to a BD25 from BD50 with 2 passes (default setting). Would I see much difference with the automatic setting, which, when I've tried it, uses only one pass? I'm sure 2 passes would be needed for a DVD9 but not sure how much improvememnt I would get over 1 pass with a BD25?

When writing to BD-25 I really don't think the virtually undedectable difference is worth the significant extra time. BD-RB looks at the total video length, though, and will do a two pass if it thinks it's necessary.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2zjmj4p.jpg Sure. Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. You pretty much have the wrong version of all the support programs.

[Zot]

Zot : Yeah there is a problem with the way interlaced footages are processed. I reported it but had any answer. I advise you to process interlaced footages as 'interlaced' in adding DEINTERLACE=0 in the options..

OK - I extracted a 1 minute segment from the original source using TSMUXER as an AVCHD. Set force_encode=1, deinterlace=0. At least on the 1 minute test - the encode plays like the original. Set deinterlace=1 - have the ghosted images on panning.

JDOBBS - you have done an EXCELLENT job with BD Rebuilder so many thanks, I'm not complaining in the least; fortunately for me this is the first movie I've run across like this.

For now, I'll encode with de-interlace set to 0 and that should do the trick for me!

Thanks,

Zot

Just curious, but if I set DEINTERLACE=0 on a full backup to BD5/9, where the main movie is 29.97, 1080i, and is experiencing this jerky playback, but the extras have some 29.97, 1080i and some 23.976, 1080P, how will the 1080P files be treated?

[k-c-ksum]

has the encoding speed options changed. upgraded to latest version from .33.02. that version had a ultra slow HQ option that dosent appear in the latest version. Speed isnt an issue, i would rather an encode take 36 hours instead of 20 if it can squeeze an ounce more detail into the pic quality. Is this encode preset now hidden?

They will be treated and outputed as progressive, no worry. Most of issues come from 480 footages (and VC-1 format I would say). But here you say you have jerky playback on a 1080i footage (in motions I suppose) with no option (or DEINTERLACE=1), is that right?

Default was set, and playback was jerky on camera panning scenes. ( I guess default DEINTERLACE=1 )
I made a movie only backup of this 1080i, 29.97fps, avc video that experiences these issues.
Since the entire original BD-25 disc has only 1:59:38 of video, I was considering a full backup test to BD5 to burn to DVD+RW with DEINTERLACE=0. Just trying to see if this corrects the problem on the main movie, and if the extras will be ok, I may redo to a BD9 for higher quality.

[f362580]

I dont't know if it is a bug or just expected result of x264 ABR setting but I get constant 1-1.5Gb undersize when doing BD-25 movie only encode.

Also I want to know what settings BD rebuilder uses when doing "Automatic Quality Settings": ABR + good / better / high quality? It seems relatively fast (0.5x on my OC e6300) compared to manually set "high quality (default) + 1pass ABR", is it normal?

[8ternity]

@jdobbs:

I have make some tries to try to find what happen.

i have install the bew x264.exe version to know if it's the version of x264 has the trouble, and not.

i have also try to change mkvmerge with the newer version to check out if its that the trouble and not.

i asked you that question previoulsy what happen with my issue because i want to know if you need something precise that i need to change or do, and if you need more log or softwares informations.

Thank You, :thanks::thanks::thanks:

Oh yeah I forgot that with DEINTERLACE=1 (so with no option), interlaced sources are deinterlaced but encoded and outputed as interlaced, that's why you have jerky playback. I already reported this to jdobbs.

[jdobbs]

has the encoding speed options changed. upgraded to latest version from .33.02. that version had a ultra slow HQ option that dosent appear in the latest version. Speed isnt an issue, i would rather an encode take 36 hours instead of 20 if it can squeeze an ounce more detail into the pic quality. Is this encode preset now hidden?It has to be something else -- the latest version is actually a bit faster.

[tandi]

hi, got it working, but got new message while reencoding video

' Audio and/or PGS size too large, probable oversize, continue ?"

what should i do then ?

[8ternity]

Resolved.

Hi,Thank you for your good work,

I have the same question as k-c-ksum

I don't understand what you mean by "It has to be something else --"

I also noticed this in v.33.02 "Ultra high quality" and i like this option,it dissapears from the encoder options in some circumstances like when i change the BD custom size after choosing this option and i cannot find this option in v.33.04.

Sorry for my english,

Sorry for my english,

From what I understand, that option was 'accidently' enabled in 33.02. You can edit the config file and set encode_quality=4 to achieve the same thing. I just did "Mask of Zorro" from BD50 to BD25 at setting of 4 - looks like the original. However, I've taken BD25's to DVD5 at encode_quality=3 (Highest), and still can't tell the difference. So - not sure how much you will actually see for the extra 24 hours of encoding or so. (BTW - I've shown people the original BD and the DVD5 output from BD Rebuilder - hard pressed to see any difference on a 110" screen!)


Zot

[k-c-ksum]

It has to be something else -- the latest version is actually a bit faster.

there is no ultra slow option in .33.04 though. Default high quality and very slow, were as .33.02 had default, very slow and extremly slow. Or is the new very slow option in the latest build using a similar profile as the Extremely Slow from .33.02?


also while encoding i left resize and noise activated by mistake as i was watching some SD TV upscaled yesterday. Does BDRB over ride those settings or will the current project also have the resize and noise settings encoded into the video?

My opinion is that there is never an instance when that level of encoding is needed and that's why it doesn't show on the menu. That option has been there for almost a year now -- but because I think it wastes time, it was never meant to be a standard choice that is easily set. But you can still select it by adding the following line to your INI file:

ENCODE_QUALITY=4

"Automatic" has to be turned off before you modify the INI. Note, also, that if you change the quality level from the menu, it will overwrite what you manually set in the INI file.

What's the "noise" setting?

[jdobbs]

@8ternity

That's confusing, because I did "The Blide Side" with FFDSHOW r3326 and had no issues at all. Try reinstalling 3326 and see if it still causes issues. It's possible that all it needed was to be reinstalled for some reason.

hi jdobbs
i've tried 3 titles

-first title - after all process complete & burn with imgburn, test in bluray player and bluray rom , it worked

-second title - while reencoding video, got this message
' Audio and/or PGS size too large, probable oversize, continue ?"
i press yes to continue , after complete the result was 11 gb ( i was set it to BD-9)

-third title - after all complete , burn it, i test it in bluray player it can't play it, and in bluray rom got this message while try play it with powerDVD ' a disc with unsupported format '

any suggestion for these issue ?

ffdshows noise filter. I use ffdshow to scale SD TV in realtime for live watching but forgot to switch the filter off when i had finished.


thanks for the encode_quality option. I only use that on stuff that is over two and a half hours or were the source is poor. Whats an extra 12 hours ontop of an encode :)

True. I reinstall the ffdshow 3326 and it has worked. :eek::confused::thanks:

[kanerulz69]

jdobbs if im playing on a 65in tv do you think its best using automatic quality settings or uncheck so it does a 2-pass? cause putting in the original blu ray disc and putting in my backup copy (doing automatic quality) it looks a lil different?
ps by the way im doing bd-25 output option

[DK]

Even on 25GB media I have more than once come across poor output quality when not using high or even highest quality!
Titles were Fireball (the underwater scenes were real crap with fast options!) or today the BBC documentary "Galapagos", where I tried "automatic quality" and went for high quality 1 pass abr later on as the automatic setting results were too poor even though the input was only~24.80gb down to 22.66gb.

I rather have some more time spent on the encoding than watching for the next blocky scene instead of enjoying HD worthy material.


BTW is there a thread for feature requests?

The following came to my mind:
- in batch mode it is not possible to delete an entry (I wanted to do so but had to stop the current process altogether)
- could more infos of a current conversion added to the corresponding log file like the quality setting used and the last command txt files content or the infos which inspect provides as I sometimes like to take a look which version was used for the encoding of XYZ
- recently I'd wished I was able to have one out of two audiostreams converted down to 448/640 but keep the other as is for a 25gb conversion

-third title - after all complete , burn it, i test it in bluray player it can't play it, and in bluray rom got this message while try play it with powerDVD ' a disc with unsupported format '

any suggestion for these issue ? second -- It did exactly as it warned. When you're trying to fit on a DVD-5 or DVD-9, you usually have to select only certain audio, as the combined size of all of audio tracks takes too much space away from the video. In this instance it was telling you that exactly.

third: Not all players support all full backups on DVD-5/9. The one you backed up probably had Java-base menus. Either that or the disc was questionable. What did you use to burn it?

For playback my recommendation is to get you hands on a Sony BDP-S360. It's very inexpensive and will play all formats.

[jdobbs]

True. I reinstall the ffdshow 3326 and it has worked. :eek::confused::thanks: It probably got corrupted somehow. Stranger things have happened. I'm just glad you got it working. :)

ps by the way im doing bd-25 output optionIt's up to you. But I think I have the "Automatic" pretty optimized now so you'll get good results.

[kanerulz69]

It's up to you. But I think I have the "Automatic" pretty optimized now so you'll get good results.

But do you think i would see better quality results if i did the 2 pass instead? cause i see some blocky parts

[tandi]

how did i know if it Java-base menus ?
and how i can make it work ?
i use LG bluray player, to burn i use pioneer & LG , and burn with imgburn
with Verbatim disc

i have success using this verbatim blank and can play it smoothly in rom or player with first title

can you suggest what should i do now to make it play ?

[setarip_old]

@tandi

Hi![how did i know if it Java-base menus ?
The "BDMV" folder will include sub-folders named "BDJO" and "JAR" - and these sub-folders will NOT be empty...

[DK]

You can remove from the list by right clicking on the choice and saying "Remove from Queue".

I thought of this options but I was not able to!

Will test it again if you say it should have been possible.


++++++++++

Retried batch mode with two conversions added.
Started batch mode and I am definitely NOT able to do anything with a rightclick to the second process, which is not running yet!

[jdobbs]

But do you think i would see better quality results if i did the 2 pass instead? cause i see some blocky parts If you see blocky parts, I would do a two-pass encode. But can you give me more details? What bitrate were you seeing for the subject video? I want to make sure I tweak "Automatic" so you never see a difference. "Automatic" should only select one-pass when the size/bitrate of the source is at a point where you doesn't visibly affect the encode.

can you suggest what should i do now to make it play ? You will see files in BDMV\JAR folder. There really isn't much I can do -- the problem is that your player doesn't support java menus in BD-9. Your only choice would be to burn to BD-25 instead of BD-5/9. Some players won't play BD-5/9 full-backups at all. At least yours appears to play the non-java ones. All BD-25 backups should work on all players. All movie-only backups should work on players that support AVCHD. But not all players will handle full backups on BD-5/9.

Just to be careful, though, I'm only assuming that this is the issue... There's also a chance it could be the format in which it was burned, the disc, or other things. I'm doing remote analysis here -- which is always dangerous.

Did you burn manually, or did BD-RB send the burn directly to ImgBurn? The reason I ask is that there are some specific configuration parameters that have to be set in ImgBurn in order to make the disc work.

I have tried on an LG and can confirm that bd-9 discs with java are rejected. They work fine on bd-r or bd-re, so it is definitely a player limitation.

[tandi]

yeah it have BDMV\JAR folder

and you said ' I'm doing remote analysis here ' not understand what you mean

and i burn it manually
and for the first title, i use same blank disc, same burning rom and same player, but it work

can you suggest what should i do ? cause i really need to make backup to BD-9

@tandicause i really need to make backup to BD-9What does your "need" have to do with reporting bugs?

[tandi]

sorry, cause i don't know where i can ask for my issue

[sa2k9]

I don't know if this is already answered, but...

is there any way I can define a separate hard drive as "Destination Path", apart from Source Path and Working Path?

This is from a 2 x 1TB 7200 RPM SATA2 Stripe 0 volume:

- [10:46:58] Multiplexing M2TS
- [11:11:15] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00002]

About 23 minutes of multiplexing.

Where as the same task is finished in about 6 minutes on a 2 x 146GB SAS 15K RPM Stipe 0 volume:

TIA.

@jdobbs
Thanks for your wonderful software.
I've a question since it a long time I visited this thread.
What is the difference among One Pass CRF and One Pass ABR?

Thanks

[woodman]

I assume you have "Quick Code for Extras" selected. Since it uses a fixed CRF for different output sizes, it can randomly happen that way... the only alternative is to deselect it.

Thanks jdobbs, i'm getting great picture quality with one pass mode (Automatic Setting), even on 45GB movies.
