BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[SoniG]

jdobbs : I had another field order issue, I sent you a PM.

[jfcarbel]

I see this requires Matroska Splitter. I have some other tools that mention the requirement of the Haali Media Splitter.

I assume these both cannot be on a machine at the same time. So what do I do in this case? Does one supercede the other and offer any features that might be needed by the other.

The post he quoted is from 2 years ago and is for different things... Outdated anyway.

You don't need AVCHD-patcher AT ALL for BD-R media. And you don't need it at all with BD-Rebuilder for "Movie only" backups to DVD media. The one thing you may accomplish using it is to break all.

There were a lot of reports of problems after updating PS3 to FW 3.30 - most of the reports about BD discs stop working/playing, console hangs, no sound, etc...

Another user reported issues but it turned out that the problem is with the media he used, so a good start would be to try your discs in another BD player before throwing them out.

It is possible that the blu-laser of your PS3 is on its way already...

The discs work in my PC, but it's just those recent 3 titles. All the other backups I've made that worked in the past still work. I tried those titles on different media, and same problem, so I don't think it's the media. This issue seems to have started occurring after I updated my firmware in the PS3 a few weeks ago. When I do a movie backup only, the movies work. Where can I find out more about the PS3 problem? I am curious to see if others are experiencing the same thing I am.

::confused: The Matroska Splitter is the Haali Media Splitter.

Well, you learn something new everyday :)

I guess I have seen it referred to in many different ways and most times the developer has the splitter included in the download package so I never realized it was one in the same.

Thanks for clearing that up :thanks:

On another note related to the splitter, it seems many tools mention you need to use their version and not the lastest release as their are issues with eac3to and lastest releases. I think the 11-1-2009 is the release suggested.
I looked at hashcode of your exe for splitter and it seems to be this same older version as well.

I have a PS3 with 3.30 f/w. I've recently used BD RB 0.33.05 to back up The Young Victoria (movie only) to BD-25. No problems. I did a 1:1 backup of Avatar to BD-R DL. So the main menu, scene selector and movie. Plays fine. I dont usually backup extras, just the movie, but I haven't had any problems with playback. Watched a DVD I backed up 3 years ago with just DVDfab - menus, movie, extras - no problems. I've heard some people on another forum lament the memorex and ridata BD's go bad after several months. I haven't experienced that myself.

With all things being equal (bitrate, source, settings etc.) two pass will almost always result in a better encode. It's a matter of better distributing the available bandwidth across the entire stream.

Dark S says that this not true anymore. That CRF and 2-pass are the same. In THAT all 2-pass does is find out what CRF value to use. They both use the CRF algorythm, have lookahead and use a table.

Did I miss something? :thanks:

Did I miss something? :thanks: I think you're missing the context of what he is saying. Also, we weren't talking about CRF. We were talking about one-pass ABR. When you compare CRF to 2-pass, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Yes, you can do an encode with CRF that is very close to 2 pass (but IMHO two pass is better). The issue with CRF is that you aren't encoding to a specified output size (bitrate) -- you are encoding to a constant quality level. So the size of your output is unpredictable. That's ok when you are planning to playback from a hard drive or an iPod, but it's not a good thing when you have to burn on a specific disc size like BD-5/9/25.

BD-RB will let you do a CRF one-pass encode, and will attempt to predict the size by doing some sample encodes to determine the best (closest) CRF value. But even that can sometimes be off significantly because your sample is never a perfect representation of the overall video. You can get more accurate by increasing your sample size -- but it very quickly becomes a lost cause because the sample encodes rapidly become just as time consuming as a first-pass.

Hi,

Backup to BD-9 of 'The Box' (UK version) has just finished. This disc is unusual in that it has both DTS-MA and TrueHD tracks. I selected the TrueHD track and BD-RB correctly demuxed the 640kbps AC3 core. However I was quite surprised to find that at the end of encoding BD-RB then re-encoded the AC3 track. Is this normal? Why would it need to do this?

Do you have well checked 'Do not reencode AC3' and unchecked 'Use 448Kbps for AC3 encoding' on the Setup? What are the final specs of this AC3 track on your movie file?

[iSeries]

Hi SoniG - yes 'do not re-encode AC3' is checked, and 'Use 448kbps' is unchecked. The demuxed core is 640kbps, and it re-encoded again to 640kbps (and came out a few bytes bigger).

Just to be clear, don't throw out your existing copies. Copy the rips back to your harddrive, use the PS3BDFix program and then burn back to a new disk. This worked for me!

Let me know how it works.

Hey,
I bought The Hurt Locker on blu-ray, and tried to back it up to a DVD-5 using BDRebuilder.
I get through the encoding phase no problem, but when I get to the reencoding phase, i get an error "X264.exe has stopped working" and the shrinking process is aborted.

Hi SoniG - yes 'do not re-encode AC3' is checked, and 'Use 448kbps' is unchecked. The demuxed core is 640kbps, and it re-encoded again to 640kbps (and came out a few bytes bigger).Ok I had a look at a WORKFILES folder and I think the process is due to the audio amplification of the AC3 files. It should not be really a re-encode but more a gain volume process. You can remove this step by adding 'AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1' in BDREBUILDER.INI. It does not mean it will amplify the sound, it means it will let it at x1.

For info to jdobbs, in fact AC3 encoding that is an acoustic compression algorithm is especially normalized to a -6db level. This normality sound level is due to the decode=>compress/expand sound signal that characterize this kind of format. It's an audio level normality defined by Dolby that all receivers recognize and use to process the signal. It is used for example in the LFE or CENTER compression processed independently of the other channels. In amplifying the AC3 signal by 1.2, you would prevent some audio receivers to manage the sound compression efficiently in reducing the margin of action and even some time causing overdrives and distortions. So yes the sound is higher and nearer to 0db, but despite the specific AC3 acoustic compression management.

So yes the sound is higher and nearer to 0db, but despite the specific AC3 acoustic compression management. I understand how Dolby works very well. I add the amplification because to my ears it sounds better and I don't have to keep worrying about volume. The authors use lower volume because it gives them a greater dynamic range. All channels are amplified equally, so if there is a negative gain difference between the LFE or CENTER and other channels -- it would still be there. In hundreds of encodes I have never experience high-volume clipping or distortion.

MHO: They just set the volume too low to impress their friends with their "greater dynamic range".

But, anyone who doesn't want to amplify can very easily change it to no amplification with the hidden command AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1.

[pilot550]

There are a lot of posts here. I've read through a bunch of them but there is no way for me to get through them all. So if someone would please indulge me.

I am trying to make a full backup, not movie only, of a Blu-ray onto a standard DVD (DVD-9 or DVD-5) to play on my PS3 which has firmware 3.30 on it. I am using BD Rebuilder 0.33.06 beta. Right now everything I have tried keeps resulting in my PS3 seeing my DVD as a data disc. Even if I use AVCHD Patcher 1.06. From reading these forums my key problem seems to be my desire for a full backup with menu's, special features and everything else burned onto a standard DVD. So right now it is not possible to do this in a way which is PS3 compatible. Is that correct?

[Rob_G]

I'm not sure what has changed, but lately almost all my 2 pass attempts fail when starting the second pass. X264 cannot seem to load the stats file created from the first pass.

I think something changed in anydvd to cause this. Even dvdfab cannot re-ecode the video. I can do a 1 pass CBR with bdrebuilder that is successful though.

I'm running a fresh xp image in virtualbox with 2 processors and 512MB memory assigned to it.

this is the complete log.
still get the x264.exe error in the newest version. any ideas? thanks :)There should be a whole lot more after the AVISYNTH 2.5.7.0, Ok line. It should say whether HAALI is installed correctly, and the same for FFDSHOW and all the other support apps.

I just looked at the code -- and it can't output a log with a video encode error without those things...

[SoniG]

jdobbs : Yeah that's what I was trying to explain. Anyway, when we set AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1, it should be well to remove the command line from AVS files instead of process it as 1. And I don't understand ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000)), is it not already the specs of the original AC3 tracks?

And I don't understand ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000)), is it not already the specs of the original AC3 tracks? The original may not necessarily be AC3. Also, blu-ray supports 96Khz and 192Khz sample rates and 20 & 24 bit samples. I added that because I'd gotten bug reports where AFTEN was failing in it's attempt to reencode a source with a 96Khz sample rate.

Personnally i was talking about the FULL DISC and not MOVIE ONLY. I've read that with some posts because they where talking about BD-R 25GB full disc backup. I have personally tested 10 minutes on a PS3, but my brother took me one movie to test it and he was reported to be that the movie is freezing sometimes (2-4 times) in his Ps3. Also i was burning in 2X the lower than i can. I have listen the hole movie in my bluray sony bdps250 reader and it played fine.

I just would like to know if someone else here has tester full backup with bd rebuilder in BD-R 25GB and movies played fine because i was planning to purchass an Ps3.

Any feedback is appreciated.

[8ternity]

Question:

When resuming an project; did the video encoded when it has beem resumed can be corrupt? Did we have an option to restart from the begining the encoding the current batch filename?

I have resumed an project and i would like to must be sure that the resumed file (main movie) will be good.

:thanks:

[SoniG]

8ternity : No worry, backup is always resumed in restarting the last pass/track process. No corrupt possible. Even if you modify an important thing in the setup, then the present backup is cancelled and restarted from the beginning. However in pure batch layout, I didn't test it yet but you can watch what it's done in the log tab.

jdobbs : Mmh I understand, I suspected it was again for a compliancy purpose. I don't know if amplify or changing a sample rate with the same value degrade in some way the original track, even a bit, but eventually, one day, it would be nice for standard AC3/DTS tracks to just be demuxed/remuxed without any process, but I'm sure you already thought about it.

:thanks: It should be good. BD-RB keeps track of where it was when you stopped. But if you want to start over, just say "No" to the "Resume" prompt.

They should be now. If you tell it not to reecode them, then you will get the original. If it is BD-5/9 you will get the core (because HD is too big). But since I got a bug report on it, I'll go back and check just to be sure, the original code has changed a lot since I added that feature.

BD-RB will create the AVS file either way (in case someone changes the option and the "resumes") -- but it doesn't necessarily use it. It's the same with encoding. It is possible that the AC3 encoding is done, but the original (core) is multiplexed. But, as I said, I'll go back and look.

Also, if it is movie-only and is going to BD-5/9, you're not supposed to keep DTS because DTS is not supported by AVCHD. I have a hidden option, though, that will allow you to override that -- but I wouldn't recommend it.

[SoniG]

jdobbs : I never use any BD9/AVCHD settings, I just try to reduce original BD size in using the best quality possible to archive and play from a server. And just for this, I'm really grateful your software exists, and I think it is the most advanced. I always try to have a 10-12000 Kbps bitrate for the main movie video track and just remove the HD audio in keeping core or original AC3/DTS tracks. However I noticed these commands on the AVS in normally standard AC3 files. But I hear you about the fact you don't always use them. Pity... bad for me! :) By the way, did you have a look at my Batman Returns bonus sample?

[PeteWalker74]

Good morning all. My first time posting, but don't be afraid! I think I've done a good job at not being a newb, and hopefully have given you everything necessary to advise me what my issue is. Please advise otherwise.

Windows 7 x64
All disc -> ISO backups done using latest version of AnyDVD HD (6.6.3.4)
Latest version of BD Rebuilder installed (0.33.06)
All recommended executables from page 1 of this thread

I've been able to backup some discs without error, but ran into an issue with "Sin City" and "9" recently.

1. I'm receiving "HAALI Splitter: Isn't recommended version" from the Inspect.exe. I saw that jdobbs pointed out (I hope I'm getting this right) that it doesn't have an internal version number to check against, so he does a CRC check (?) of the directory, which is thrown off by additional files. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, and even manually deleted the installation directory after uninstalling, before reinstalling again, all to no avail.

2. Backing up "9" I get:

I have attempted the alternate movie only backup method (it brings up 2 in the list, both fail with the same error) to no avail, with all 3 methods giving me the same error. I've also attempted using "AUD_004 AC3, Multi-Ch, English" vs. "AUD_001 DTS-HD XLL Multi-Ch English"

Thank you so much for reading this and assisting me getting this resolved. I gave it my best effort to resolve these issues on my own, and while I hate admitting defeat, I have no choice at this point. I hope I've included all the information necessary, but please advise me of how I can be of further help, if I have not.

PS Thanks jdobbs for you continued efforts on this project. Once I have all my issues resolved, you sir, are receiving a donation from me. Thank you kindly.

@PeteWalker74

Check and make sure you don't have any other VC-1 codecs installed (such as "Codec Packs") that are interfering with VC-1. Also recheck your version of HAALI. Sometimes other software will install a different version without your knowledge. The odds are very high that HAALI is the issue. There are multiple versions of HAALI out there that will not properly split VC-1 M2TS files. If you could post a directory listing of c:\program files\haali\matroskasplitter I can tell you if it is right... note: If you're on a Win7 64 bit system it will be "program files (x86)"


I'll see if I can pick up "Sin City" and check it out.

[PeteWalker74]

Thanks for the fast reply. Since this is a PC I just put together, I've barely installed anything, let alone codec packs. The only codecs I've installed are related to BD Rebuilder. That being said, I poured over my Start Menu and installed programs, and took screen shots. Being the man I take you to be, you want proof (and rightfully so). Now perhaps it's one of these installed programs that have installed something VC1-related codec that may muck around with the operation of BD Rebuilder, and if that's the case and I'm just oblivious to it, my sincere apologies. I've also included a shot of Haali installation directory. Hopefully, providing these shots can take any "guess work" out of the equation, so that you can see for yourself what I have installed. Thanks, once again.

[jdobbs]

@PeteWalker74

That is very definitely not the HAALI version I have linked in the first post of this thread. It is also very likely the source of your problem.

If you want it to work. First remove HAALI, then delete that folder, then install from the first post of this thread (Matroska Splitter in Step #1).

[9020V]

Do a search for PS3BDFix. It is a small executable program that sets the copy protection bit off. I had some movies that did not work on a PS3 while others did. When I used PS3BDFix on the MT2S files, the BD movies then worked. I did BD25 full disk copies Region A.

Just to be clear, don't throw out your existing copies. Copy the rips back to your harddrive, use the PS3BDFix program and then burn back to a new disk. This worked for me!

Let me know how it works.

Moviewatcher666

Thanks I will try that. I am doing BD25 full disk Region A also. When your movies did not work, what were the symptoms? Did they blank screen? Do you remember what titles they were?

The Informant is the one that is really throwing me because I backed it up 1-to-1 on a BD25 since the original is only 17GB.

Edit: I found another program called CPIStrip - does that do the same thing? Can this functionality be put into BDRebuilder?

Since your post says "D1", I assume you are using the newer "Recut" version of "Sin City", correct?

@PeteWalker74

That is very definitely not the HAALI version I have linked in the first post of this thread. It is also very likely the source of your problem.

If you want it to work. First remove HAALI, then delete that folder, then install from the first post of this thread (Matroska Splitter in Step #1).

You know, I thought I had all my ducks in a row, and clearly that wasn't the case, so let me first apologize for that.

I removed HAALI, saw that the install directory was removed, and reinstalled, and yes I see now the difference between the SS I posted and what my directory shows now.

Regarding Sin City, I am at work remoted into my PC at home, and I don't have any blu-ray playback software installed, nor the disc with me, so I'll have to check once I get home, since I don't want to guess (considering my track record :) ).

9 is moving along so far without a hitch, so thank you very much. Hopefully, once I provide you with what version of Sin City I have, you can bang out the issue I'm having with that. Thanks once again.

I had to redo all the Star Trek Blu-rays I did back in sept due to error. But, Disc 7 keeps failing. What's wrong?

@JDobbs - I have a question and I hope you can answer, this has happened to me on a few versions(that I had tried), I thought it was a bad rip but maybe i'm wrong.

I have my decrypted Bluray Files on 1 drive, run BD-Rebuilder and the output goes to another physical drive, the output ends up being very blocky and pixelated, so I thought it was a bad rip. Just out of curiosity, i moved the source files (of a problem encode) to the same drive I was outputting to and the encode was flawless.

Is it not recommended to encode from 1 drive to the other? :thanks:

Nowhere on the box does it say Recut, nor the disc, nor in any of the menus. Thank you once again for your help.

@Bystander - Something is screwy with your log, the input size is about half of your output size, it will be impossible for the outcome to be that big, what are your settings? Is this disk Pre-prossed at all?

It is not screwy. By selecting 60GB as the target size, I ensure that I get no video compression. I am creating ISOs and not physical discs.

[PeteWalker74]

I wonder if somehow only selecting certain audio/subs is throwing this off? As we speak I'm attempting to select all English audio streams and all English subs, just for shits and giggles. Might be pointless, but I have no other discs to backup at the moment. Thank you for taking the time to figure out what the issue is here. Just glad after my initial screw up, it seems like you agree that my config is solid perhaps.
