BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jeffnoone]

So I am trying to convert one of those TV HD x264 shows to iPad version

As normal for these shows, they are in 720p 5.1 AC3 format mkv

So I used ClownBD 0.76 tt build into BluRay structure

Then i used BD Rebuilder v0.34.0.1 to rebuild into iPadHD using the web tutorial, that is linked on videohelp.com


However there is a problem at the final stage - I attach log

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Or any other options I can use togo from 720p x264 AC3 .mkv to 720p iPad .mp4, that is convenient to use?

Thanks for any suggestions
Jeff

I have no doubt the bug is in the firmware of the player. The question is whether I can find a workaround.

Just tried U571 with BD-RBV03401, but the results are the same as Scorpion King. :(
The menu audio works fine, but just no main movie audio. I even kept the directors comments audio track too, but there is no way to change the audio tracks, and while the movie plays, if I press display on the remote, the player does not see an audio file at all!
Pressing the audio or subtitle button on the remote does not do anything either, no display and no change of tracks.
jdobbs, have either of these two movies made it to your test list?
I know these are rare types, and the Sony S360 usually plays almost anything, but I think if a discovery is found, it may uncover other compatilibity issues as well. :cool:

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs Admirable as that may be, in light of the fact that new Universal releases appear NOT to any longer have this problem, I'd suggest that you hold off on doing that unless/until it's established that the problem(s) with earlier Universal releases show up again in future releases... Good point. It could be that they were the problem and have corrected it.

To jdobbs

Thanks for quick reply
BTW it does create the .aac file
THis is in the appropriate directory for muxing: AUD_00000_4352.AAC,
as well as 00000.track_4352.ac3

[Capsbackup]

Good point. It could be that they were the problem and have corrected it.

This would be nice, but does it explain why the same backup burned to BD-RE works perfectly while the DVD media does not?
I am quite content with the current state of BD-RB, and was only trying to share my experience and results with these titles, and hoping that a positive result may have been found with the many changes and bug fixes that have been implemented with BD-RB and .x264 over the last several months. :)
If there is more interest I am willing to test more, or am equally content with the capabilities at the current state! :p

[setarip_old]

@Capsbackup This would be nice, but does it explain why the same backup burned to BD-RE works perfectly while the DVD media does not?I believe you overlooked my statement that I've had successful results with two recent Universal releases (The Fourth Kind - I Made 3/16/10 and Love Happens - I Made 2/02/10) burned to DVD9s and played on the SONY BDP-S360...

[DK]

The only thing I seem to have trouble with (and I've searched the forums and elsewhere for clues, without success) are movies with forced subs (Avatar, District 9, 2012, etc.).

I have done all mentioned titles and the forced subs are always present and will display fine, BUT... you will have to make sure in the settings/options of your BD player that you have set languages and subtiles to whatever your mother tongue is. Do not set it to automatic or any other language.

In case you'll change settings inside your BD player, please also turn the player off and on again -it may actually make a difference!

Furthermore do NOT select any subtitle stream with your remote control - subs should be set to OFF/NONE.

Changing language or subtitle streams with your remote may make the forced subs vanish.

BTW - For future reference, the following link will provide you with a complete calendar of past, present, and future Universal BluRay releases:

[Ch3vr0n]

yeah my output folder deletion suggestion got implemented. Giev copyright cash :p

[grampaking]

If they were "forced" in the original -- they will also be forced in the backup -- as long as you keep them. The only exception would be if you are resizing.

I recommend keeping all subs on most discs.

Ahhh, that would be my problem, I am usually resizing to 720p, movie-only, to a DVD-5. What is the issue with resizing, is there any way to resize but keep the subs intact?

[Capsbackup]

Not overlooked, ;) as I too was able to backup It's Complicated to BD5 successfully, which is why I posted about these Universal titles and the full backup success ( or not :rolleyes: )
Consistency among these companies titles would be welcome, although probably just wishful thinking!

[Ch3vr0n]

Ahhh, that would be my problem, I am usually resizing to 720p, movie-only, to a DVD-5. What is the issue with resizing, is there any way to resize but keep the subs intact?

Nope, some subtitle streams have the nasty habbit of not wanting to be resized properly. However if you maintain the aspect ratio and play the disc on a 720p device they'll get shrunk to aspect by the tv ^^

I am posting this here since a lot of people are complaining about the PS3. Forgive the hijacking of this thread.

I had borrowed a PS3 a couple months ago to test my BD25 full backups Region A to make sure they worked on it. I updated the PS3 to the most current firmware. I had about 4 or 5 movies that did not work. The error that I got on the PS3 was "invalid disk". This baffled me that some disks worked and some did not.

After some searching on the net, I found this program called PS3BDFix.exe. Basically, it sets the Copy Protection Bit to off in all the M2TS files in the STREAM directory. As soon as I ran the program on the movies that didn't work, I burned them to a rewritable to try in the PS3. They WORKED! My guess is that the ripping program kept the Copy Protection Bit on after ripping. Regular Blu-rays players may not be that sensitive to it but the PS3 is.

I do not think this has anything to do with BD Rebuilder because they played fine in my Panasonic BD35. I seem to recall I was bouncing between DVDFab and AnyDVD for ripping. I believe that DVDFab was the culprit but I could not prove it conclusively. Since then, I have been using AnyDVD exclusively for all my ripping. I have not encountered this problem on the PS3 any further.

If anyone is having problems with the BD25 full backups (I don't do BD5/9) playing on their PS3 and get the error "invalid disk", send me your e-mail in a PM and I will send you the PS3BDFix.exe program and a little batch file that will process all the M2TS files in the folder.

Lets see if this solves all the PS3 problems. Comments welcome!

[santito]

interesting... i will try that tool... my email is saintito@hotmail.com send to me and i will send feedback as soon as i test it

[SoniG]

Hi jdobbs, thanks for your last version that is an interesting one and I updated my thread about the new seamlessly branching support. In some of my reencoded BD, I can read on Mediainfo from the same m2ts : ReFrames=3 and x264 ref=4. I can't figure out if it's normal, if there is a bug somewhere or if I just don't have to care about this?!

[teberly]

I'm trying to use BD-RB to unconvert sone SD Start Trek:TNG episodes to HD.

I use DVDNextCopy to covert the DVD episodes to individual .m2ts files in a new Blu-ray folder.

I then load that into BD-RB and select Convert SD to HD in the settings tab. I have done thsi with version 0.34.01 and the prior two releases. I have the recommended version of avisynth, ffdshow, Haali Media Splitter and my Inspect.exe reports back ok on a windows 7 64 bit machine. I ripped the initial dvd with AnyDVDHD.

Prior to running them through BD-RB all files play fine. But after encoding and rebuild the audio is out of sync on some of the epsodes and the video appears accelerated.

I can see only one difference between the correct encones and the incorrect encodes and it's in the .avs script for the video:

Audio out of sync - video plays fast:
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.34.01 (beta)
DirectshowSource("C:\MULTIAVCHD\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts", fps=29.97, audio=false)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(30000,1001)


Audio in sync, video playback is correct:
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.34.01 (beta)
DirectshowSource("C:\MULTIAVCHD\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts", fps=29.97, ConvertFPS=true, audio=false)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(30000,1001)

If the ConvertFPS=true command is in the .avs script everything is fine - but for some episodes of the same show on the same disc BD-RB is not inserting the ConvertFPS=true command.

Is there a way to do this manually? When I interrupt the encode and edit the .avs file, BD-RB simply overwirites my edit.

What else can I tell you? I'm a contributor and owner of DVD-RB Professional and contributor to to BD-RB - both are incredible tools - but in this area I cannot get BD-RB to work.

[jdobbs]

Ahhh, that would be my problem, I am usually resizing to 720p, movie-only, to a DVD-5. What is the issue with resizing, is there any way to resize but keep the subs intact? Yes, but I'll have to write the resizing code myself rather than let TSMUXER do it. I started that a long time ago for other reasons (some sub resizing can cause TSMUXER to crash), but got sidetracked and never finished it.

Moviewatcher666 Good info. I'll do some investigation and see if there is any way I can add similar code to BD-RB.

[SquallMX]

To all PS3 users, I found (after a lot of coasters :mad:) that you need to set the Copy Protection Bit to off in order to play Backups with new firmwares, you don´t need to use "PS3BDFix.exe", ImgBurn already has a option for that:

Settings --> Build --> Blu-ray Video --> Reset 'Copy Permission Indicator' Flag

http://i46.tinypic.com/1ihdu8.png

:helpful:

Additionally I always put "PS3_UPDATE, PS3_VPRM, PS3_DISC.SFB" folders and files used on Sony Blu-ray discs.

[santito]

interesting theory of the copy protection set to off...
but here's a question.. why some work.. and others dont?

[deank]

If the disc was not properly ripped (copy protection bit still present) and BD-Rebuilder doesn't reencode menu m2ts files then the PS3 will error out immediately because the 1st file it tries to play (the menu) is 'protected'.

All m2ts which are reencoded (tsmuxer being used) are okay, because tsMuxeR always sets the CP bit off.

It could explain it.

[jdobbs]

Hmm... then I guess the easiest way to correct this would be to just set the registry value:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ImgBurn\ISOBUILD_BlurayVideoResetCopyPermissionIndicatorFlag

for ImgBurn from within BD-RB. It would probably save a lot of time compared to having to reset it in all the M2TS files. If I understand if properly (no guarantee), the indicator could exist in the header of every packet.

Of course this wouldn't help those people who (for some reason) refuse to use ImgBurn.

[Capsbackup]

For those that don't have a PS3, and use standalone players, how might this affect our playback compatibility, etc... ?
I know I have only ever used IMGBurn, and never looked at this setting before. My setup box, as far as I know, has always been unchecked.

[deank]

@jdobbs: I think the best thing to do is to alert the authors of all the decrypting tools (except for AnyHDDVD, which works fine I guess). It is a ripping issue, not BD-RB anyway.

@Caps: It may not affect SAPs at the moment if they are forgiving enough. I think the presence of copy protection in m2ts packets would require active/present copy protection, which of course is not there, because the ripping software removes it. I think you should not worry if you used AnyHDDVD...

An easy way to check is to open a m2ts file and look at the first byte, which should be always < 0x40 (along with all the 1st bytes in each and every 192 byte m2ts packet).

[Capsbackup]

Thanks deank and jdobbs! I do use Anydvdhd.
I don't use IMGBurn thru BD-RB, but instead create my image with it independently of BD-RB, which I guess I will continue to do.
I have never had a problem with my backups, and want to keep it that way. ;)

[jdobbs]

I just updated the first post of this thread with a link to the newest release of BD-RB (v0.34.02). Changes for this version are:- Modified startup to search for and set a registry
value for ImgBurn that tells it to reset the Copy
Permission Flag during burn. This has been reported
to help maintain PS3 compatibility (and possibly
other players) for full backups. If for some reason
you don't want BD-RB to set this value you can add the
hidden setting "RESET_PERMISSION=0" to the config
(INI) file.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[santito]

im happy to announce that the option in imgburn .. make my useless movies to work in ps3

thanks....

[deank]

@santito: Will you share with us what program did you use for ripping these (non-working) blu-ray titles?

Great news, actually :) since it is not a failure in PS3 to play BD25's nor in BD-RB.

[santito]

actually...

i just copy the movie again to the hdd.. and then activate the option in imgburn... Reset 'Copy Permission Indicator' Flag when burning

and it works fine without issue..

[deank]

?!?

You just copy *what*? A purchased Blu-ray title with running decrypting software or what? I asked for what you did when you ripped the original discs, if it was the case at all...

[santito]

sorry

for not being very descriptive...

i use dvdfab 7 the first time i rip the movie...

i dont have anydvd so i can't tell you if the problem was the rip with dvdfab:confused:

[deank]

Thanks... I believe you should email Fengtao @ dvdfab for this particular decrypting problem.

// I emailed him with a link to the thread.

[Ch3vr0n]

Ey jdobbs, might wanna hold of on including your own BDREBUILDER.INI file in the zips. I never had that overwrite existing file for that ini before and now i had to reset all my settings. Kinda annoying

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs;
Since I use IMGBurn independently of BD-RB, and this latest update says:
- Modified startup to search for and set a registry
value for ImgBurn that tells it to reset the Copy
Permission Flag during burn. This has been reported
to help maintain PS3 compatibility (and possibly

If I wanted to have IMGBurn behave the same way as your new .ini setting, would I simply select the box within the settings folder of IMGBurn : Reset 'Copy Permission Indicator' Flag?
Could it be worth testing out these previous full backup Universal titles that have the "no audio on playback issue" with this setting?

[teberly]

As an update - I used BD-RB to create the .mkv, .ac3, and .avs files then aborted the backup. I edited the .avs file to include ConvertFPS=true and then used MeGUI to actually encode and reumx the .mkv and .ac3 into a .m2ts file and evertyhing turned out great - audio in sync and video looks great.

To me this confirms that the problem is the missing ConvertFPS=true in the .avs script that BD-RB is creating.

Any idea why it inserts in for some and not for others? The same show on the same DVD? It did this to episodes of Star Trek and to episodes pf Magnum P.I.

Is there a way to force ConvertFPS=true in BD-RB?

Since you're using AnyDVD HD it probably won't make a difference. If there was such copy-protection flag and your player obeyed it, the movie probably wouldn't start at all.

Could it be worth testing out these previous full backup Universal titles that have the "no audio on playback issue" with this setting? All that option does is click the box for you via the registry. I doubt this would have any effect -- because the problem was never there for AnyDVD HD rips.

Is there a way to force ConvertFPS=true in BD-RB? You shouldn't have to use it except as BD-RB decides (normally for sources that use pulldown). The fact that it is only happening to you makes me think you might be somehow modifying the original before presenting it to BD-RB -- I can't know without logs. Are you preprocessing in any way (using other programs before running the source through BD-RB)?

It would help if you posted your logs... is the source AVC, VC-1, MPEG? Is it an original disc? What disc is it? A little useful information can make the response to your bug report a lot more meaningful.

In the log I posted the .avs script for VID_00001 did not include the convertfs=true command and the result was audio out of sync and rapid playback. VID_00002 did have the convertfps=true and all was good.

I then tested VID_00001 by editing the .AVS script to include convertfps=true and used MeGUI and all turned out right.


You shouldn't have to use it except as BD-RB decides (normally for sources that use pulldown). The fact that it is only happening to you makes me think you might be somehow modifying the original before presenting it to BD-RB -- I can't know without logs. Are you preprocessing in any way (using other programs before running the source through BD-RB)?

It would help if you posted your logs... is the source AVC, VC-1, MPEG? Is it an original disc? What disc is it? A little useful information can make the response to your bug report a lot more meaningful.

I then tested VID_00001 by editing the .AVS script to include convertfps=true and used MeGUI and all turned out right. Yep that's what I thought. I do not accept bug reports on discs that have been preprocessed. The bug is almost always in the preprocessing (as I believe it to be in this case), not BD-RB. Sorry.

So I assume that the original disc is DVD (not BD), and is in MPEG-2 format? Somehow in the preprocess it is probable that the pulldown flags are being removed and that is the source of the issue. The other possibility is that the source is in 23.976 progressive format -- which is fine for DVD but is illegal for Blu-Ray.

In other words, this isn't a bug in BD-RB, but in your preparation. You may want to try using PULLDOWN.EXE against the source video in order to set the pulldown flags and make it legal. Also, if this is the case, you may also want to report to the makers of "DVD NExt Copy 4" that they accepting an incorrect format and are creating a non-compliant BD disc.

Ok - sorry to have reported it as a bug. The original discs are DVD in MPEG-2 - I'll try pulldown.exe.

a friend of mine is having a problem with his bdrebuilder..

everytime he make a backup .. he select the appropiate audio tracks (english, spanish, etc).. but when he burns the bluray.. it plays fine.. but only with the main audio... (normally english)

any ideas?

any ideas? Check the SETUP dialog for the defaults, it's possible he is not keeping what he thinks. When you exit and come back in, the defaults are used, not what you selected before exiting.

@jdobbs

So, based on what you and "deank" now say (Changing copy protection flag of no benefit) is there a valid purpose/benefit for beta testing in using v.34.02?

I've tried to search for this issue in-thread using a few different keywords, but I've not found anything (although I suspect it's in here somewhere/somehow)...

In many cases, when a blu-ray has some kind of subpicture (pop-up commentary, for example), the audio doesn't work on the rebuilt version.

Latest example for me was Karate Kid. When I load the original into Rebuilder to set up for compression, there's an audio track called "AUD_003 (2nd) DTS-Express, Stereo, English" that cannot be activated. It loads with the red X next to it and it can't be changed. Playing back the rebuild, the video of the popup commentary shows up where it belongs, but there's no sound (presumably because of said inactive audio track).

Is this still a common occurrence, or is there some known workaround at this point?

That's because the secondary audio stream uses DTS-Express. There currently is no way to decode that audio stream from the main DTS stream. If it was dolby digital it would be possible, but as it right now it cannot be done.

If you wish to make a duplicate AND retain the audio for the pip stream, then your only choice is to do a full 1:1 BD50 backup

I would just like to thank everyone involved with the workaround for the ps3 problem. I have tried a recent backup that would not play before but now plays perfectly after another burn with the new settings.:thanks:
