BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

The *.ssif directory issue is fixed with 0.44.03 and the encoding starts now, but x.264-bd.exe crashes immediately and BD-RB is aborted.
Is there anything special with x264-bd.exe which is put into the "mystic" Directory? Any tests you want me to do?

Edit:
Sorry - my mistake. I left a trim() command for testing purpose in the avisynth script. Apparently this caused the crash.
Encoding .... Yeah, you can't do any seeking with DirectshowMVCSource() or it will crash -- so "Trim()" can't be used with it. One other thing that just hit me... if you don't have a video card that supports OpenCL you may have an issue with 3D encoding as well. That's because of the new version of X264. I guess I should copy the dummy opencl.dll file into that folder as well to prevent that. I wrote that code before the new X264 version was released.

[Sharc]

All ok so far .... just did an GM anaglyph successfully @ 1440x1080. :)
This led me to another question: Is left-right standardized for 3D blu-ray? I seem to remember cases where the channels have been swapped. When there is no possibility to swap the channels during playback, the GM (or CR) setting should be changed to MG (or RC respectively) for encoding.
Any thoughts?

So i grabbed that BD3D2MK3D package and found the instructions & folder stereoplayer.exe inside it. If i read them instructions right i pretty much only need copy that folder to the harddrive & i'm done. Ifnot perhaps a clear set of instructions for it could be added to the 1st post of this thread.

That's it. Just make sure it is in a place that BD-RB can write to it so it can always keep the X264 version updated. (e.g. don't put it in the "Program Files" folder). Also, after testing it, if you feel it will be useful, please consider buying "MVC to AVI Encoder" from the site I referenced.

I'm hoping the Intel Directshow MVC decoder will work out and become a completely freeware solution that I can include with BD-RB in the future.

[soneca]

In the previous version the process was aborted, but with this version could encode one BD 3D successfully.:)

[jonnybravo]

How would I set this up to output as a m2ts and fat compliant "under 4 gig". I have been using ripbot with no problem. I save as AVCHD 2 pass and lock size to 4103MB. But when I try that with this I get random results. Would it be possible for you jdobbs to and this as a output size?
I am just trying to do movie only. I go between mac,pc and ps3 with my thumbdrive to watch movies.
Thanks

[Ch3vr0n]

Oh BDRB has always been in program folders for me. I got that lousy UAC disabled ^^. Never any issues. However it seems that the x264 builds in that stereoplayer.exe are older than the ones from BDRB. Should i replace them with BDRB's ?

BDRB x264: 0.132.2309.0
Stereo x264: 0.130.2273.0

Or will BDRB do that on it's own?

[Ch3vr0n]

kk, then i don't need to do anything. For simplicity i copied that folder into BDRB's "Tools" Folder. Same as i did with my DGDecNV :). No possible chance of write access problems then ^^. Even though BDRB is in the program Files (x86) folder. I'll be trying that option out real soon.

[omegaman7]

Thank you, JDobbs, I shall check Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves...

What was your problem with it? I have it on the back burner. Haven't ran it yet.

The challenge I've noticed is... It's an extra. Movie & Menus with selective extras not to be blanked.

[Mark_Venture]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.03). Does this version include the --engage no_cue_duration --engage no_cue_relative_position fix?

[richardrpg]

I just tried my first 3D encode with v0.44.03 and everything went fine until the rebuild phase when I get an "error in attempt to mux (MKVMERGE).

edit:
I went into the work files and saw two x264 streams of the same sizes, I manually muxed them with an old build of mkvmerge, the resulting two mkv files both play in sbs format but each side's video is out of sync by 10seconds on the one mkv and even more on the other mkv. I have no knowledge of how all this encoding works, so if I'm doing something dumb, dont hesitate to correct me. I'll try the next encode with a different 3D blu-ray and use the DirectShowMVCSource.dll and files from MVC Player Free v0.0.1.5 and not BD3D2MK3D as I did with the first encode.

[richardrpg]

Just ran another 3D encode (Thor 3D) and it worked perfectly, I used the DirectShowMVCSource.dll and files from MVC Player Free v0.0.1.5 and not BD3D2MK3D. I also checked the work files and there is only 1 x264 stream and not 2 as with the previous encode of Life of Pi. I did notice that with Life of Pi, there was an extra step used during the encode, namely "Combining multiple 3D segments." which did not happen with Thor.
I'll run Life of Pi again with my current set-up as I know the set-up works and then should have clarity whether its a BD-rebuilder bug or an issue with Life of Pi itself.

[richardrpg]

Completed Life of Pi 3D with exactly the same settings as Thor 3D, again I get the error "failed to rebuild" it rebuilds up to 100% and then stops and sends that partial rebuild to the work files.
Seems there is something different about the Life of Pi 3D disc, even if I remux that partial build, the resultant mkv is in sbs format, but as before the 2 sides are way out of sync.
Someone who has more knowledge regarding encoding can take a stab at Life of Pi 3D.

What happens if you remux into blu-ray format instead of mkv container?

I did Life of Pi 3D some time ago with BD3D2MK3D, but remuxed the files manually into blu-ray format using tsMuxer.
It worked flawlessly.

Just wait for that to donate. So, it's done !
I try this the next days.

O.K. Thanks for the feedback. I will also re-test it when you post the update.

[dfsooner]

They are in the ALTERNATE output choices list. You can also edit them in MISC\ALTERNATE.TXT.

So "alternate video options that allow output using the original, untouched video to be kept" is apparently not enabled for full backups?

[jdobbs]

So "alternate video options that allow output using the original, untouched video to be kept" is apparently not enabled for full backups?ALTERNATE output is a mode of movie-only. It is the ability to create DVD, MP4, and MKV files. So, no, it has no relationship at all to full backups.

If you want to create a full backup using the untouched original video, just set a custom output size of 50GB. That way BD-RB will assume it doesn't need to reencode. You could, as an alternative, simply add "FORCE_NOENCODE=1" to the "OPTIONS" area of the config/INI file.

But, of course, if you keep the original video there is the probability that the output won't fit on your target.

@richardprg

As for the "out of sync" pictures. I suspect that DirectshowMVCSource plugin may not be reentrant, but frankly I'm not sure that's the issue. I can say it seems to be a little flaky -- but it's currently all I have to go with. So make sure you don't run more than one BD-RB job at a time, and don't attempt to open the AVS with MPC to view it during encodes. I've fixed the MKVMERGE muxing error and I'm doing some testing now.

Thanks, will keep that in mind, both jobs I did were done separately and I didn't view the files during the encode, I also use a separate Win7 installation for all encodes.
I'll re-do the encodes when you post the update,with the 2 3D Blu Rays I have, Thor 3D (encodes perfectly) and Life of Pi (out of sync/mkvmerge error) and will then post the results for you.

yes. It does.

What I am trying to do is keep BDRB from re-encoding my menus when doing a full backup to compress to BD-9.
I guess I'll just have to continue copying the menu's m2ts, clpi and mpls files from the original since I cannot do it with the MIN_M2TS_SIZE option.

[richardrpg]

I'm trying to figure out what causes that occasional out-of-sync left/right picture.... did you by chance stop and restart the job as some point?

I did the encode of Life of Pi twice already.The 1st time (no stop and restart) it gave me the error, I thought it might be the DirectShowMVCSource.dll I used from BD3D2MK3D. I then used the DirectShowMVCSource.dll from MVC Player Free and did the encode of Thor 3D (no stop and restart) and it encoded perfectly.
Then I tried Life of Pi 3D again (with exact settings I used for Thor and also no stop and restart) and got the same error.
As I mentioned earlier, the only difference I saw between the encodes, is that Thor has only 1 stream to encode and Life of Pi has multiple streams to combine "combining multiple 3D segments" whether that can have any bearing on the end product I dont know.
I also noticed in the work files that there is a mediainfo .txt document that says "Unable to load MediaInfo.dll" again I dont have the knowledge to know whether that has a bearing on the end result (incidently the Thor encode also has that mediainfo.txt file with the same msg, so don't think that has any bearing.)

Sorry, I only saw your post now. I still had the work files from Life of Pi 3D and did what you said, muxed using tsmuxer into a .ts file and the result is perfect.
No more out of sync video halves. So it looks like it is an mkvmerge problem.
Thanks.
@Jdobbs, hope you see this. (and you can probably ignore the inane drivel of my previous post)

This seems to confirm my earlier suggestion (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1626831#post1626831)that BD-RB should allow to swap l/r already for the encoding; it's crucial for those cases where the swapping cannot be done by the playback device.

I have updated (once again) the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.04). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which sources that are
3D and multipart were not being correctly
processed during ALTERNATE rebuild, resulting
in an error.
- Corrected overall progress indicator so that
it more accurately shows progress during 3D
encoding.
- Added a new hidden setting. "SWAP_3D=1" will
swap the left and right views when creating
the SBS, O/U, or Anaglyph 3D output.

[jdobbs]

Doh! I see it now. Thanks.Wait a minute. You're saying that the regular (non-3D) rebuilds are failing too? Arrrgghhh... this 3D version release is a nightmare.

Can you try the version I just posted and let me know if it is any better? Damn. I thought I'd been very careful not to let the 3D code leak over into the previously working sections.

Indeed, I was. I will test now...

Edit 1: By the way, the First page Text version still reflects the previous but the filename is correct.

Edit 2: Downloaded, now testing Alternate MKV with Paul... Not 3D version.

Edit 3: Normally I use full 1080 for testing, but to get some results within the next hour I'm using these settings..

@AmigaFuture

Thanks for testing. I have a multipart source going as well.

I'm having a bad day -- and it's my birthday! Is there no justice in this universe?

[AmigaFuture]

I'm having a bad day -- and it's my birthday!

I stopped celebrating mine years ago because the Moment is more wonderful to me than any single Day could ever be. I feel more awesome now than I did then. Not everyone is there or wants to be. Every "bad" moment has a positive to it and usually only seen with 20/20 hindsight. Here's to you, and Your Day! Cheers! ~Holding a Cup of Tea!~ Be good to Yourself. I have a feeling your joking about The Universe...if you weren't I'd say "Let's talk...because that's a deeper subject..." hehehe. Hence my sig.

Much appreciation for the program!! More than words can express. My TV and BDPlayer as well as iPad 2 would say Thanks also if they could speak. Haha!

16 of 30 parts completed for this movie (1/2 done). I'll update the previous post when it's totally complete. I don't want to get too off-topic.

I'm never serious. Life's too short for that.

Even better -- I just noticed someone sent me a very good donation! Happy Birthday to me!

[BigCondor]

Happy birthday jdobbs, yet something to recognize.

Thanks a lot for your continuing efforts and contributions over the years ever since you introduced DVD Rebuilder.

Life isn't too short. We determine how long, there is a recipe to as long as we want. It's a personal choice...with more to it...but not for here.

Anyway, interesting... Shall I go ahead and process another movie or...is there something you'd like me to check further? I noticed that this rip has some 0 byte files also like Sherlock Holmes files did.

[jdobbs]

Hmmm... those zero length files are concerning. They are empty from the TSMUXER extract. Does the MKV appear to playback properly?

[AmigaFuture]

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you other than... I've watched several times, the main GUI, and it's the last step from what I can see that those get created with each movie that's failed here. P~l~e~n~t~y of drive space..

[jdobbs]

P~l~e~n~t~y of drive space..Ok, I'm confused. Did the job complete? I just finished another multipart job (14 parts) and it worked correctly too.

Could you post the log for that job?

[AmigaFuture]

It finished with a fail. I updated post #17044.

I started BD-RB with a new process of Sherlock Holmes now.

[gonca]

I just finished a 22 multi part movie to MKV successfully with latest version.
I have Paul, if you wish I can try a reencode to see if it completes on my system

Happy Birthday Jdobbs!

[AmigaFuture]

Gonca,

That would be awesome. Mine is the Unrated version. Is yours?

[jdobbs]

Gonca,

That would be awesome. Mine is the Unrated version. Is yours?I have the Russell Crowe version of Robin Hood on my hard drive, is that the one you're attempting?

[AmigaFuture]

No. 1991...Kevin Costner's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

[gonca]

My version seems to be the same as yours. I am using your ini file with two changes. multiprocess=1 and dgdecnv

Jdobbs, I was referring to Paul, but I have Robin Hood If you want me to try it also.

[omegaman7]

Happy Birthday Jdobbs, and thanks for all your efforts. I know it's not much, but perhaps you can buy yourself, and another dinner ;)

[jdobbs]

Happy Birthday Jdobbs, and thanks for all your efforts. I know it's not much, but perhaps you can buy yourself, and another dinner ;)You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

[jdobbs]

One more multipart source complete... no issues.

[gonca]

I can confirm the two 0 byte audio tracks in this movie.

[jdobbs]

I just loaded up his settings and am trying again.

@gonca

Are you getting the same error as him with that disc? Are the audio tracks 0 immediately after the extraction?

[gonca]

The encode is half way done, and yes the 0 byte tracks are there immediately after extraction.
Side note I have previously encoded this movie to MKV with no issues.

[AmigaFuture]

I'm also using now using my MacBook Pro Networked to my main computer. I rarely use Windows on it for anything other than some video editing, BD-RB, and Firefox, so I updated BD-RB to newest. I'm having BD-RB use the same settings/config as Gonca and I are using for Paul Unrated. I'll report soon.

Edit: I thought it was producing the 0 files during the MKV event..I missed that it did it during the extraction.

[gonca]

Same error in muxing
I' ll try keeping only the main audio track

[AmigaFuture]

BD-RB is almost done with Sherlock Holmes (2009) and it has 1 audio track. No 0 files at the moment.

[18:47:50] Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure
Part 1: No 0 files.
Part 2: No 0 files.

As that process changes, and just before MVKMERGE process starts 2 .SUP blank files are created. As well as 2 filename's representing what would be the compressed counterparts are made.
Then "[18:49:53] - Failed to REBUILD".

[jdobbs]

BD-RB is almost done with Sherlock Holmes (2009) and it has 1 audio track. No 0 files at the moment. I was just able to repeat it when using your settings. It looks like it may have something to do with keeping the original AC3 audio.

[gonca]

@Jdobbs, AmigaFuture

I think I know where the problem manifests itself. 3 audio tracks are kept DTS-HD, and 2 AC3 at 192K. The DTS-HS appears to be processed correctly, however the 2 AC3 tracks are converted from 192k to 192k and the 0 byte tracks are the resulting AC3 tracks.

[jdobbs]

The DTS-HS appears to be processed correctly, however the 2 AC3 tracks are converted from 192k to 192k and the 0 byte tracks are the resulting AC3 tracks.Thanks. Now that I've been able to repeat it I should be able to fix it. I want to test this one really well, so you'll probably not see another version until some time tomorrow morning.

[HWK]

jdobbs, I want to let you know if you are doing 3d and choose alternate movie output and then select "Automatically crop black border" option, encoder simply crashes.

Un-check "Automatically crop black border" causes encoder to continue. May be add some sort of logic if 3d is enabled then do not allow crop black border or simply ignore.

BTW, Happy birthday and donation is on it's way for all the hard work you put into bd-rebuilder.

[AmigaFuture]

I don't support hard work, but I do support passion and integrity. I hope you enjoy the donation. Be good to Yourself....and have some Fun!

Will test the next release when you're ready.

[Lathe]

Basically, I just upgraded to the new version (V0.44.04) and although I have added 'enable_blanking=1' in the config file, the blanking choices are still grayed out.

Any suggestions please?

Thank you!!!

[Lathe]

Sorry, I forgot to 'subscribe' to the thread... (loser, I know...)

[Chuckwagon]

Was just reading through some posts and saw it was your birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :) Thanks again for a great program. Keep up the awesomeness. :)

Thank you!!!

Look closer at "ENABLE_TEST".

[richardrpg]

@Jdobbs, Happy Birthday and I hope its less stressfull than the previous few hours. Downloaded the latest version and will test with Life of Pi 3D again and let you know the result.
Thanks for the effort you are making to get this all sorted out.

Edit:
Finished another encode of Life of Pi 3D with BD-rebuilder v0.44.04. Completed successfully.

[Mark_Venture]

-- and it's my birthday! A belated happy birthday!!!

[sojourner353]

Hi all,

First of all happy birthday jdobbs and thanks for BD-RB.

Ok second I just cannot get BD-RB 3D MKV working and it fails whatever 3D I throw at it (multiple & single) but all 2D still works fine.

Bellow is logs from a couple of movies I have been trying to do and as you can see same result on all, bit lost on what I'm doing wrong but if you can see just from looking at the log please let me know.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well the first thing I see is:

- AnyDVD Remove Annoying Adverts: Incompatible

Not sure if that's the issue, but you need to turn that AnyDVD feature off, as it has caused problems in the past.

Another possibility (probability) is that you don't have the DirectshowMVCSource folder set up correctly.

I would recommend you go to the BD Rebuilder folder, right after a failure, and copy the contents of LASTCMD.TXT to the clipboard. Then open a DOS window and paste it/run. That way you will see the specific error that X264 is encountering.

[Ch3vr0n]

You have an incompatible anydvd setting that may be causing issues (the remove adverts setting) disable it. Rip the disc anew and try again.

Thanks for the reply guys, so I fixed the AnyDVD problem as you can see in the quote bellow but still failing.

Looks like a problem with DirectshowMVCSource like you said, I'm a bit lost on how to set it up I guess, thanks.

[jdobbs]

Just make sure you follow the directions in DirectshowMVCSource_ReadMe.TXT. I can tell from your command line that it is definitely wrong..

[jdobbs]

@AmigaFuture

I traced down the bug you reported. Actually it had nothing to do with the 3D code, and in fact the bug has probably been there for many versions. The failure was caused by having MKV_MUXSUPS set. The zero length files were completely unrelated and harmless, but I did correct that as well, as they shouldn't even be there.

Cool thanks for that, just reading it I was way off, its just after 2am here so will have a go at the setup tomorrow, thanks again for the help.

Good to know. I felt it probably had been for a few. I was going t go back a few versions but knew testing 44.04 to be more valuable. I haven't been checking Alternative MKV for a few versions. I feel so horrible now. Not! I'm excited to check the new version with the list of tested movies from an earlier post. :-)

[Sinatrafan]

WELL.. I downloaded the latest version of BD Rebuilder..proceeded to back up a blu ray of DIEHARD; this is an ordinary Blu Ray..not 3d.. yet I get the "FAILURE to ENCODE" message, it says "AnyDVD Remove Annoying Adverts: Incompatible"..

I've never seen this with BD Rebuilder before; I've never had any problems with either ANYDVD or BD Rebuilder..yet with THIS latest version (44.4) of BD Rebuilder, a problem seems to exist.

Soo; I went BACK to the PREVIOUS version of BD Rebuilder, started the encode again..this time, the encode is proceeding nicely.

I see that one or two others on the forum are experiencing this problem as well.. Will this problem be FIXED in a future version of BD Rebuilder? OR should I always un check the "ANYDVD Remove annoying Adverts" before ripping a Blu Ray?

I'm really not a techie guy..but I've used BD Rebuilder ever since it was released, with no problems.. I know how to use it, but I'm afraid that I'll break something if I try to repair it with the "Fix" that Mr. Dobbs has suggested.

I can continue to use the previous version of BD Rebuilder until a new version becomes available with the problem fixed.. BUT I dunno how LONG I will be able to use this previous version until it expires. sigh..

Thank you soo much for BD Rebuilder, Mr. Dobbs; and all you've done to improve it's funtionality over the last few years.. the software IS amazing!

And, thank you for your attention, and patience with me.

[Ch3vr0n]

"AnyDVD Remove Annoying Adverts: Incompatible"..

undo that anydvd setting. It's incompatible with BDRB's blanking mode and may cause other issues. Bugreports with that setting can't be accepted.

[setarip_old]

always un check the "ANYDVD Remove annoying Adverts" before ripping a Blu Ray? Try it and see if it resolves your problem (It should)...

[Sinatrafan]

Thank you for your responses.. well.. all I can say is that I've always had that setting on in ANYDVD..it's never ever caused any problem with BD Rebuilder until this version.. I'll try to rip the blu ray again..without this setting on.. and then try the latest version of BD Rebuilder again, per your recommendations..I hope this fixes the problem.. however, this also sorta kinda defeats the purpose of that setting.. to remove annoying advertisements.. heh heh..

Thanks again for your responses..

[Ch3vr0n]

not if you if you add enable_test=1 and enable_blanking=1 to the bdrb ini file. That way you'll get BDRB's movie & menu's mode and will be able to blank trailer crap (automatically or manually) the "proper" way.

[jdobbs]

Thanks again for your responses..That check for "remove annoying" message has been there for many months and many versions. It isn't anything new -- and it should NOT be set in AnyDVD while using BD Rebuilder. The fact that is may have not created a problem in something you did in the past is irrelevant -- it shouldn't be set. With that said, I doubt that it is your problem in this instance since you say it works with the last release.

Please post your log and your settings... I can't fix a problem based on "I got an error".... from your post I don't even know what phase it was in. I don't even know if it was full backup or movie-only, encoding or rebuilding, ALTERNATE or normal, BD-5 or BD-25... on-and-on.

Hi jdobbs, will there be an option to create Full SBS 3D (3840x1080) with untouched audio? Don't know if its possible or not, I have downloaded in the past Full SBS 3D's and they work great on my setup (HTPC to 1080p 3D Projector), thanks.

I'd be happy to be able to do FULL disc mode in Half SBS. Would free up a ton of harddrive space on my HTPC. SBS discs would be able to be shrinked to being able to convert a Real3D disc to SBS in full disc mode would be just awesome.

Where's the rest of your log? It could be a bad rip... (since the current file failed so quickly)

Suggest ripping again, with a different drive, if available. Or cleaning the disc.

@xtremevideoinc117

I notice it got through several files before it crashed. You might want to check for heat related CPU instability. That's the most likely problem.

Don't know if its possible or not, I have downloaded in the past Full SBS 3D's and they work great on my setup (HTPC to 1080p 3D Projector), thanks.

SBS discs would be able to be shrinked to being able to convert a Real3D disc to SBS in full disc mode would be just awesome. I'd have to look at that closely, mainly because I'd have to remove all the other 3D indicators in the disc. But I'll see how hard it might be.

[Ch3vr0n]

Well aslong as the menu's work correctly "eg: watch film in RealD > triggers SBS copy". For movies like the most recent resident evil it may be a little tricky. There's 3 versions on it. 2D, anaglyph & RealD. The 1st 2 can easily be shrinked. Afaik the anaglyph one from what i can see on my iso probably uses some kind of "anaglyph overlay" on the 2D stream as there is no seperate anaglyph stream. It's the RealD (2nd eye stream) that as you know prevents shrinking.

It's the RealD (2nd eye stream) that as you know prevents shrinking. An anaglyph feature would not be flagged as 3D, it would be contained in an M2TS just like 2D. Only MVC 3D has special settings (e.g. the packet indexes into the SSIF are different from the M2TS and has to be specified independently).

[Ch3vr0n]

The disc i was talking about was Resident evil: afterlife. After reading your post i went back to double check. you're right. I must have missed anaglyph stream initially. There's the 2D stream (14GB on the dot) and a 2nd anaglyph stream (15.7GB) in the stream root folder. If you manage to pull of that 3D half-SBS you'll probably succeed at shrinking my 3D backup rips from a 471GB folder to arround 200 tops ^^

I've been wanting to do this for a while but never had the funds available till now. I've been using this wonderful piece of software ever since i found it 2+ years ago. I've been able to make backups ever since. You've also implemented quite some feature requests i've asked for and have gotten. Check your account. Just made a $30 donation :) You've more than earned it and way overdue :)

** edit ** in the (auto?) response i got there is a claim of name being added to the contributors list? Can't find it on the site though ^^

[sojourner353]

If I did this it would have to be to ALTERNATE MKV or MP4 only -- as the size would not be compliant with AVCHD or Blu-ray.

Thanks for the info jdobbs and nice to hear it can be done and is it something you might consider? I am looking for other program's that can do this at the moment, the reason for seeking this is it would be the closest one could get to a 3D Remux, have done a few 3D's now with new BDRB and it works great but can defiantly see a loss in quality on my projected image, cheers.

Well you do lose half of the resolution when going from BD3D to side-by-side 3D... but maybe he meant something else.

Yes that is what I meant, I can defiantly notice a quality difference on a 130" screen when watching Half SBS hence why I want to go Full SBS, thanks.

[Mark_Venture]

(as mentioned here -> http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1627263&postcount=2 )

When the movie starts, the audio is in sync. By the end, it is noticeably off.

The attached text file has the BD-Rebuilder LOG, INF, and INI files.

I ripped the bluray to hard drive (folders, not ISO), with AnyDVD HD like I have with all others to date.

This is the only bluray I've noticed audio sync issues with.

I tried again after I updated to 0.44.04, but it failed to complete the rebuild, and I rolled back to 0.43.06. The attached text file also contains the log of the failed rebuild from when I tried after upgrading to 44.04..

[jdobbs]

Thanks. I'll take a look at it today.

I did Total Recall a while back and don't remember any issues... but I'll do it again with your settings.

Yes that is what I meant, I can defiantly notice a quality difference on a 130" screen when watching Half SBS hence why I want to go Full SBS, thanks.I see. Of course you'll lose horizontal resolution at half SBS -- there's really not anything you can do about that. I thought he meant the extra compression for BD-5/9/25 was showing degradation. While a full backup to DVD-5 is probably a little much on some discs -- none of the others should show a noticeable quality drop.

No need to be defiant, though. ;)

I've added full SBS to the next release. It is turned on with a hidden setting, and only works with MKV or MP4 ALTERNATE output selections that aren't inherently being resized.

Wouldn't L/R interleaved instead of SBS keep the resolution intact? Don't know if this is standard compliant and compatible 3-D TVs.

[jdobbs]

Wouldn't L/R interleaved instead of SBS keep the resolution intact? Don't know if this is standard compliant and compatible 3-D TVs. Most TVs only support SBS and Over/Under (Top/Bottom).

At the HDMI level they all support full O/U with 45 lines of blank between them. Some support interleaved and SBS -- but getting that sent to the HDMI input from a non-specialized player is almost impossible. So even if you create the file -- what good is it if you can't play it back?

I also think there would be a significant loss of efficiency in encoding interleaved. It could be that X264 has a way to compensate for it, but if it does I don't know about it.

[colinhunt]

As far as I know, very few displays are compliant with full SBS. The frame size is simply way too large.

[Sharc]

That's why I thought interleaving could be a possibility. By this I meant L/R arranged in alternating full frames, means doubling the frame rate. But as jdobbs explained this seems to be beyond a standard. I noticed that "double framerates" for blu-ray are only specified for the reduced resolution of 1280x720@50fps or 59.94fps. So no luck ......

From the WIKI:HDMI 1.4a requires that 3D displays support the frame packing 3D format at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24, side-by-side horizontal at either 1080i50 or 1080i60, and top-and-bottom at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24.

Back at Christmas time, when I reported the problem on Total Recall, didn't you say that you could reproduce it?

[jdobbs]

Back at Christmas time, when I reported the problem on Total Recall, didn't you say that you could reproduce it? Could be. I've worked on so many things since then I could very easily have missed it. Did I say I'd fixed it? If so, I was apparently wrong.

[RobertM]

Could be. I've worked on so many things since then I could very easily have missed it. Did I say I'd fixed it? If so, I was apparently wrong.

No, I don't think you reported a fix. I looked at your release notes with each upcoming version of BD-RB and I didn't notice anything that said it was resolved. I figured that you'd get to it eventually, and I didn't want to nag.


If it helps, here's the post where you said you repeated the problem.

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1607372&postcount=16394

[AmigaFuture]

JDobbs,

I've been checking the Hidden Options and I don't see an answer. Using FORCE_NOENCODE=1 doesn't function with Alternate MKV. Could you add a video pass through in the Alternative MKV with the options of reencode audio or not if desired so chapters are included? Since some movies are originally on BD-25's, I'd like BD-RB to make an MKV for my LG Player and TV with chapters and subtitles. I know, you fixed the subs for next release. Maybe add a new hidden option or make a new choice where the alternative choices are like 2 Pass?

Or...have I not combined the correct settings? I'm still checking. Thanks.

Edit: That would also be nice for MP4. My TV and LG Player support both. I'm going to do more testing of the Alternate outputs. I'll also use my iPad 2.

[gonca]

@AmigaFuture
Did you set your target size high enough in alternate options.

[Sinatrafan]

Mr. Dobbs, I was able to complete a GOOD encode of DIE HARD with the PREVIOUS version of BD Rebuilder (version 43.6).. by the time I was able to read your request that I post the log and .INF files for DIE HARD, I had already deleted them. Sorry.

However, I have a blu ray of BLACK DAHLIA; so I tried to use the latest version of BD Rebuilder again (version 44.4).

I COMPLETELY un-enabled and EXITED AnyDVD.. then ripped it with DVDFAB HD DECRYPTER. Keep in mind that ANYDVD was NOT even ENABLED, or PRESENT here. Yet, take a look at the LOG..

Soo, I'm scratching my head at this one.. EVEN though ANYDVD is COMPLETELY un-enabled, I even EXITED the program..(I ripped the blu ray with DVDFAB HD DECRYPTER)... I see an ERROR caused by ANYDVD!

I'm now in the process of ripping the disc again WITH version 7.1.8.0 of Anydvd HD, BUT with the REMOVE SHORT TITLES disabled, AND the REMOVE ANNOYING ADVERTISMENTS disabled.. THEN I'll see if version 44.4 of BD Rebuilder does the same thing.. if if DOES,..then I have NO IDEA what is going on..

Keep in mind that I'm NOT a techie.. I simply know how to use the software program..but certainly not enough to know how to CHANGE things within the program..If I were to do this, I'd likely break it.. heh ..

ALL previous versions of BD Rebuilder have worked wonderously well, this is WITH AnyDVD enabled, with "Remove Annoying Adverts", and "Remove short titles" enabled as well.. the last version issued (version 43.6) still works; I've completed Die Hard with no problems..and, yes.. BLACK DAHLIA works with version 43.6 as well. I'm able to start a good encode with version 43.6..it does NOT abort for any reason.

Soo.. it appears that a problem exists with Version 44.4.. Sigh.. it'd just be funny if I'm the only guy with this problem.

I thought that maybe I had a CORRUPTED copy of version 44.4 of BD Rebuilder..so, I deleted the previous copy, and downloaded it again..

And here is the log for the rip made with ANYDVD HD version 7.1.8.0 WITH the REMOVE ANNOYING ADVERTS disabled AND REMOVE SHORT TITLES removed =

Now,, NEXT.. I've completely UN-INSTALLED ANYDVD HD, THEN ripped BLACK DAHLIA again WITH only DVDFAB HD.. then started the latest version of BD Rebuilder again.. BUT I UNCHECKED "Decoding/Frame serving: X264/LAVF".. (just on a hunch)...and it's ENCODING NOW !

Soo.. I dunno if version 44.4 of BD Rebuilder works now, because I UN-INSTALLED AnyDVD HD.. OR it works now because I unchecked "Decoding/Frame serving: X264/LAVF"..

It's got to be one or the other.. because it seems to be merrily encoding now without any problems..

Soo; I've seem to have solved my own problem..in a matter of speaking. BUT I still think that something is wrong if version 44.4 of BD Rebuilder is going to error out with either ANYDVD HD.. or with Decoding/Frame serving: X264/LAVF enabled..

Thank you again for your time and patience with me, Mr .Dobbs...and thank you again for a WONDEROUS software program! Much appreciated!

[AmigaFuture]

@AmigaFuture
Did you set your target size high enough in alternate options.

I have tried that as well as in Setup. Since "FORCE_NOENCODE=1" is not recognized with Alternate output, and all other options are to encode at different rates/speeds, a reencode is forced. Whatever size I enter beyond 25GB, even 40GB..

[gonca]

@AmigaFuture
Just so there is no confusion, I am referring to the Two Pass Target Size option in Alternate Movie-Only Output

[AmigaFuture]

@AmigaFuture
Just so there is no confusion, I am referring to the Two Pass Target Size option in Alternate Movie-Only Output

Agreed. I've also tried with Setup/Custom Target Size. I've even set both to the same size...above 25GB and 40GB. I'm using MKV Intact Audio.

Edit: I do have the Output Options set to Custom Target Size also.

[Sharc]

From the WIKI:
HDMI 1.4a requires that 3D displays support the frame packing 3D format at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24, side-by-side horizontal at either 1080i50 or 1080i60, and top-and-bottom at either 720p50 and 1080p24 or 720p60 and 1080p24.
Thank you for the clarification.
I also found a nice tutorial here. (http://www.screenexcellence.com/upload/3d-video-basics2.pdf)

[gonca]

@AmigaFuture
I think I found where I saw how to do it.
The new version of BD_RB has an option for intact video and intact audio. Look in the Alternate text file. You might have to create your own alternate profile.

[0000x]
caption=MKV Intact video and audio
vBitrate=2000
aBitrate=0
aType=2
vFormat=8
cType=1

[jdobbs]

JDobbs,

I've been checking the Hidden Options and I don't see an answer. Using FORCE_NOENCODE=1 doesn't function with Alternate MKV. Could you add a video pass through in the Alternative MKV with the options of reencode audio or not if desired so chapters are included? Since some movies are originally on BD-25's, I'd like BD-RB to make an MKV for my LG Player and TV with chapters and subtitles. I know, you fixed the subs for next release. Maybe add a new hidden option or make a new choice where the alternative choices are like 2 Pass?

Or...have I not combined the correct settings? I'm still checking. Thanks.

Edit: That would also be nice for MP4. My TV and LG Player support both. I'm going to do more testing of the Alternate outputs. I'll also use my iPad 2.That's already there. Look in ALTERNATE.TXT file (in the MISC folder) for vFormat=8.

Thank you both. This is the first time I've looked at the file. I saw other comments about it and then forgot to even check it. I'll try this and learn how these settings function. Question, though, if Video is Intact why would vBiterate be needed?

[gonca]

@AmigaFuture
I am not sure if the field itself is required and then not used because vFormat=8 overrides it. Try with and without on a short clip and see if it is necessary.

Try with and without on a short clip and see if it is necessary.Just read the text at the top of the file that describes the fields. If you look at the default settings I've provided, numbers 27 & 28 are already intact video.

One of these days I need to write a users guide for BD-RB. Even I have to look things up sometimes.

I was having more fun than anything. I agree, am trying settings and movies.

I saw that the existing Intact Video profile has a vBitrate=2000
entry. Did not know if this was a required field even if it wasn't used.

[AmigaFuture]

@JDobbs

I did notice the order as well as 27 & 28 before adding my own. Almost always good to look at provided examples. Sometimes it's fun to reinvent the wheel for yourself for better, deeper education, but this wasn't one I wanted to do that with. Laughing.

[sojourner353]

I see. Of course you'll lose horizontal resolution at half SBS -- there's really not anything you can do about that. I thought he meant the extra compression for BD-5/9/25 was showing degradation. While a full backup to DVD-5 is probably a little much on some discs -- none of the others should show a noticeable quality drop.

No need to be defiant, though. ;)

I've added full SBS to the next release. It is turned on with a hidden setting, and only works with MKV or MP4 ALTERNATE output selections that aren't inherently being resized.

Thanks jdobbs for adding it in looking forward to giving it a go, I think this format I have requested can only be used on software players via a PC, as some users have said the resolution is huge (which it is) and I don't think hardware players will know what to do with it, cheers.

[AmigaFuture]

Hmmm... Is:

OUTPUT_FOLDER=\\PC_Name\Share_Name\
OUTPUT_FOLDER=C:\Users\Username\Desktop\

For fun I also created "C:\Output" at the root and tried:

OUTPUT_FOLDER=C:\OUTPUT\

functioning for anyone else? I thought I'd try it and it keeps creating the Output in the Working Path only. Yes, logged in to the other computer from my MacBook Pro. For now, I'll skip it to continue the other tests...

Edit: I didn't include the "\" at the end of paths when I typed this message originally.

[AmigaFuture]

Alternate MKV output with Intact Audio and Video is doing well from my tests with single M2TS movies. I have not viewed or listened to anything other than sampling video, audio and subtitles (SUP) and all tests look good and sound good. Complete viewing soon.

What I have noticed are movies with multiple M2TS files are extracting the first M2TS well and not reencoding. After the 1st, they are reencoding. At the moment I'm using "Paul" Unrated. Another thing I've noticed is, Paul, multiple VID's are showing in the list. That shows to me, vFormat=8 is not being respected for whatever reason. Are you able to confirm?

I'm currently using:
[00029]
Caption=MKV, Intact Video and Audio
aBitrate=*
aType=2
vFormat=8
vKeyint=Auto
cType=1

Thanks.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it today.

I did Total Recall a while back and don't remember any issues... but I'll do it again with your settings.

At least one release of Total Recall 2012 in Germany was having sync issues (http://www.bluray-disc.de/blu-ray-news/filme/40462-extended-directors-cut-der-total-recall-blu-ray-disc-mit-tonfehler) with the "Extended Cut".

My version is one of those and I can confirm that the original Disc has this problem only when playing the extended cut.

I'm not sure what version Mark_Venture refers to but maybe converting the sound stream might make a change?

[jdobbs]

I saw that the existing Intact Video profile has a vBitrate=2000
entry. Did not know if this was a required field even if it wasn't used.It will be ignored.

[techno1]

Soo.. it appears that a problem exists with Version 44.4.. Sigh.. it'd just be funny if I'm the only guy with this problem.


You are not alone...I am having similar failure to encode condition trying to rebuild Broken City. I went back a few revisions and 43.06 is currently working for me. I'm sure Jerry will have this sorted out shortly :)

@techno1

Ok, I'm confused. I'm encoding BROKEN_CITY right now with the settings you gave me.

One thought... if your system doesn't support OpenCL it's possible that the latest release of x264 may be the culprit. Can you try the encode again -- and with fails, go to the BD Rebuilder folder and cut the contents of the LASTCMD.TXT file -- and then paste it into a DOS window. That way you should be able to see what specific error you're getting. I added a dummy OpenCL.dll file to the x264 folder, and that should have by-passed that issue in x264, but you never know.

If OpenCL is the issue, you can replace X264.EXE and X264-64.EXE with the one that was distributed with v0.43.06. I'm expecting a new X264 with the OpenCL issue resolved soon. If that isn't it, I'm not sure what to say. I'm using your exact settings and pass 1 has almost completed.

[Video Dude]

added a dummy OpenCL.dll file to the x264 folder, and that should have by-passed that issue in x264, but you never know.

jdobbs, would it be possible to add an option or a hidden option in BD-RB to disable OpenCL. I think the command switch for x264 is --no-opencl ?

The reason is I built a silent PC with a passive cooled nvidia card (no fan). I try to avoid gpu processing for an extended period of time as not to overheat my card and crash my system. My card supports OpenCL and I'm not sure how to tell BD-RB to disable OpenCL in x264.

The reason is I built a silent PC with a passive cooled nvidia card (no fan). I try to avoid gpu processing for an extended period of time as not to overheat my card and crash my system. My card supports OpenCL and I'm not sure how to tell BD-RB to disable OpenCL in x264.Hmm... I don't see that option in the help and I'm not sure if it would help.

I do think I can get around the problem, though. Normally people use LAVF in order to execute the 64 bit version of X264. I included only the 32 bit DLL. I'll put both the 32 and 64 bit version in the next release and enable the one that matches the system at startup.

[AmigaFuture]

I'll check it out.

Thank you. :D

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.05). Changes for this version:- Corrected an error in which ALTERNATE output
to an MKV file with MKV_MUXSUPS selected and
a resize specified would cause a failure with
an MKVMERGE error.
- Corrected an issue in which zero length files
could be created during ALTERNATE encoding.
- Fixed an error in which some movie-only jobs
that should use original audio may reencode.
- Fixed an issue in which 3D ALTERNATE output
to DVD-5/9 was not working (encode error).
- Added the capability to perform 3D backups at
full resolution (Full Side-By-Side and Full
Over/Under)(default is HALF, as that is what
most players expect). Note: This option will
ONLY work on ALTERNATE MKV & MP4 output that
has vFormat set to NO-RESIZE. FULL-3D is meant
mainly for full HD 3D archiving.
- Corrected an issue related to international
decimal conversion of framerates during the
IMPORT function.
- Corrected an error in which ALTERNATE encodes
using vFormat=8 (intact) was not working on
multipart sources.
- Added a workaround so that 64 bit LAVF can be
used on systems that don't support OpenCL.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Ok, I'm confused. I'm encoding BROKEN_CITY right now with the settings you gave me.

One thought... if your system doesn't support OpenCL it's possible that the latest release of x264 may be the culprit. Can you try the encode again -- and with fails, go to the BD Rebuilder folder and cut the contents of the LASTCMD.TXT file -- and then paste it into a DOS window. That way you should be able to see what specific error you're getting. I added a dummy OpenCL.dll file to the x264 folder, and that should have by-passed that issue in x264, but you never know.

If OpenCL is the issue, you can replace X264.EXE and X264-64.EXE with the one that was distributed with v0.43.06. I'm expecting a new X264 with the OpenCL issue resolved soon. If that isn't it, I'm not sure what to say. I'm using your exact settings and pass 1 has almost completed.

No, my onboard ATI Radeon HD 4290 chipset does NOT support OPENCL.

My card supports OpenCL and I'm not sure how to tell BD-RB to disable OpenCL in x264. I believe that in BD-RB the OpenCL would only apply if you have selected LAVF output. Otherwise the rendering is done by DGDecNV or Directshow. But, if there truly is a "--no-opencl" parameter you can add it by putting the lines below in your INI file:

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--no-opencl
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--no-opencl

[jdobbs]

No, my onboard ATI Radeon HD 4290 chipset does NOT support OPENCL.

LASTCMD:Download the new BD-RB version and you should be ok even with LAVF.

Beauty, eh! Thank you. Testing.. :-D

Thanks jdobbs.

I have not tested --no-opencl yet in the current build of x264, but I did see a number of references to the parameter on the forum, like this one:

BD-RB says it's completing fine. The 2 movies I've tried, the MKV output is too small. I can see the video is joined correctly in the work directory, as well as the audio and SUP files, but, somewhere in the creation of the MKV... When the MKV starts playing...it's not using the first segment video. Looks like it's using the 2nd segment. I'd have to do a manual rebuild to know.. So, for sure BD-RB isn't using the completed, joined, video stream with the MKV.

I'm currently referencing Paul (Unrated).

When I use MKVMERGE GUI, it'll create a complete movie. From moving the seek, it looks and sounds good that way. More testing..

Edit: For fun I also made an AC3 profile in Alternative. These are the results.

Maybe you give it a try and report back if it solves the 'aften' issue.

[jdobbs]

Edit 2: I see "- Mode: MKV, Intact Video & AC3" is misleading. Meaning convert whatever DTS to AC3. I certainly don't see anything misleading about "AC3". That seems pretty straightforward. If you want intact audio as well (an incredible waste of space), just add this:

caption=MKV, Intact Video and Audio
aType=2
vFormat=8
cType=1

I can see the video is joined correctly in the work directory, as well as the audio and SUP files, but, somewhere in the creation of the MKV I apparently didn't test well enough... I'm looking at it.

In my tests I was using discs that were following a different path (based on the number of segments and the filename limit), and I didn't catch it. I thought the huge number of segments would be a good test, but it missed a couple of obvious mistakes.

Thanks for adding the Full SBS 3D option jdobbs appreciate it and it works perfect, what settings can I change to also output intact audio with the same video output? Sorry in advance if its a noob question but only just started digging into BDRB, cheers.

Edit: Think I might have figured out how to change alternates myself, just created one and trying now, will post results.

Edit: Think I might have figured out how to change alternates myself, just created one and trying now, will post results.For intact audio, just set up a new ALTERNATE entry that has aType=2 -- but, of course, you can't use intact video with a 3D source. Here's an example:

[00029]
caption=MKV Container, NO_RESIZE, AutoGOP, Intact Audio
vBitrate=8000
aType=2
vFormat=7
vKeyint=Auto

The video bitrate can be whatever you want it to be -- or even better, use the ALTERNATE dialog and encode with CRF.

Thanks jdobbs its pretty much the profile I created and I am using at the moment, its about 50% through now, sorry for the confusion regarding intact video, I meant 3D No_RESIZE Full SBS MKV with intact audio, cheers.

Sweet! Even a very skill honed archer can read wind direction a little bit that way when it should be a little this way. It's good to know nothing stays the same except change. We have an accord on perspective about audio, but I know some people want original and though I can hear subtleties, others' hearing is better than mine. So I test with that awareness.

@Sharc

Thanks, I'll try it for fun till the next beta is released. :D

[Sharc]

Yeah, you can't do any seeking with DirectshowMVCSource() or it will crash -- so "Trim()" can't be used with it. .....
Hmmm...., does this also mean that I can't do 1-pass CRF prediction mode? Seeking is needed for selecting the samples, or am I wrong?

[jdobbs]

Hmmm...., does this also mean that I can't do 1-pass CRF prediction mode? Seeking is needed for selecting the samples, or am I wrong? You cannot do CRF prediction on a 3D source using DirectshowMVCSource. It will almost certainly crash.

Confirmed, it crashes with 1-pass CRF prediction but works with 1-pass fix CRF.
Perhaps the 1-pass CRF prediction should be grayed out or a warning be given when one selects 3D -- or maybe we should just be patient and wait until a seekable version becomes available. Don't know how popular 1-pass CRF prediction is by the users.

You cannot do CRF prediction on a 3D source using DirectshowMVCSource. It will almost certainly crash.

Does any one know where to get DirectshowMVCSource. I press the option on the setup and BD-Re., take me to document folder where I don't have this software...thanks:confused:

Two rebuilds came out with a maximum video bitrate of 15.0 Mbps. Normally this is 35.0 Mbps. Do i something wrong? Blu ray's are Zambezia (Flemish/Dutch release) and Arbitrage (BeNeLux release). All other blu ray's (Playing For Keeps, The Broken Circle Breakdown, The Hobbit,...) have a maximum video bitrate of 35.0 Mbps. All ripped with AnyDVD. Run inspect tells me everything is ok.
Both rebuild files played well on a Dune-HD mediaplayer. No problem, but i just wonder why it's in these two rebuilds 15.0 Mbps.

Regards.

It's not a bug. You have selected a dual-layer DVD (BD-9) for output. The maximum bitrate is limited by the media type. If you tried to use 35Mbs your output likely would frozen or skipped etc. 35Mbs is something you might use for BD-25 media.

Probably a bad rip. That error is coming from TSMUXER while it is attempting to demux.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.06). Changes for this release:- Corrected an new error in which ALTERNATE
encodes using vFormat=8 (intact) was not
working on multipart sources.
- Corrected an error in which ALTERNATE output
to an MKV file with MKV_MUXSUPS selected and
a resize specified would cause a failure with
an MKVMERGE error.(v0.44.5)
- Corrected an issue in which zero length files
could be created during ALTERNATE encoding.
- Fixed an error in which some movie-only jobs
that should use original audio may reencode.
- Fixed an issue in which 3D ALTERNATE output
to DVD-5/9 was not working (encode error).
(v0.44.5)
- Added the capability to perform 3D backups at
full resolution (Full Side-By-Side and Full
Over/Under)(default is HALF, as that is what
most players expect). Note: This option will
ONLY work on ALTERNATE MKV & MP4 output that
has vFormat set to NO-RESIZE. FULL-3D is meant
mainly for full HD 3D archiving.(v0.44.5)
- Corrected an issue related to international
decimal conversion of framerates during the
IMPORT function.(v0.44.5)
- Added a workaround so that 64 bit LAVF can be
used on systems that don't support OpenCL.
(v0.44.5)
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes. For the most part it's just an interim release that fixes intact backup to MKV and MP4.

Yeah, I discovered this a moment ago when trying to demux with eac3to. Re-rip it is, then.

[omegaman7]

Before I got my LG drives(Apparently NEC chipped, which I love), I found I got more bad rips with BD's, than DVDs. The discs didn't look that bad, but my Lite-on is really finicky. So, I only use it as a real time player now. Which it seems to excel at :)

Ok, thank you for the quick reply!

Hi all, been reading over the forum for about an hour now trying to find a way to enable CUDA processing in BDRB and I can see it works but I have been messing with my settings and cannot get it to change from DirectShow to DGDecNV, I just got a GTX650 Ti Boost and want to see how it goes speed wise, its running paired with a Core i7 3770, any help much appreciated, cheers.

Go to the SETUP dialog and click on "Use DGDecNV..." It will then open a browser window so you can point to the location of DGDECODENV.DLL (only the first time you use it).

Is this valid for ati hd 79xx series or only nvidia?

Mr. Dobbs,

Thank you for issueing version 44.5 of BD Rebuilder, with the changes that you've made within the program, I've been able to finish encoding 3 blu rays, with the internal LAVF enabled.. these encodes have turned out perfectly well.

Thank you again for all of your wonderous work on a marvelous software, BD REBUILDER..

Thanks again for your kind attention, and patience with me.

It's Nvidia only.

thanks for the reply jdobns, I had already don't all that and still not working so something is wrong with my setup pc settings, will look into it more later, thanks for the help though at least im on the right track.

Edit: Fixed the problem, was using a beta nVIDIA driver, once I went back to the official version all worked.

MKV with Intact Video and Audio, Intact Video and AAC, doing well. Not so with Intact Video and AC3.

All video/subtitles look to be playing correctly and in the correct order. It's great to see correct MKV sizes. I'm seeking through them for now. I haven't created the opportunity to watch completely.

I noticed in the previous release the ghosting effect in the Alternative settings when using a custom setting. I think it wasn't new but...I like it a lot anyway.

I can tell you the second one (error 70) is "permission denied". I did about 6-7 successful encodes using the presets I provided.

For fun, since I know you support bug reports from BD-RB processed backups...I figured I'd process by backup of "The Hunger Games".

I made a Movie & Menus blanking extras a bit ago with AC3. I copied the contexts to the HDD, and proceeded to have BD-RB process it. This is the log..

Perhaps there's a way to make BD-RB identify that an AC3 is already exists and prompt the user to select "Alternative Video & Audio" when they click the button?

Cool. I reset Windows 7, and had BD-RB do it again.

It completed. :-D

I didn't overwrite the Alternative.txt. I'll compare them next.

Go to the SETUP dialog and click on "Use DGDecNV..." It will then open a browser window so you can point to the location of DGDECODENV.DLL (only the first time you use it).

Hi jdobbs, so I seem to have DGDenCV setup currently and get no errors now when I start BDRB with it enabled but BDRB now hangs after Extracting A/V streams is complete and I just have to abort it, since its not throwing an error I don't know what might be causing the problem, any ideas? thanks.

Is your DGDecNV licensed? Neuron2 has stated that the program will not function correctly, if it isn't licensed.

"This software requires a license! If you attempt to run the software without a valid license in place you will receive no explicit notification of that fact. Instead, various functions of the program will simply fail to operate correctly"

Gotcha, downloaded it from the first link Google returned when I searched for it and it was off a file share site so it never asked for a license which means its not legit, just found neuron2's website and donated the $15 for the license, also jdobbs I just flicked you a donation also for BDRB its an awesome program, thanks for the info and help.

MKV with Intact Video and Audio, Intact Video and AAC, doing well. Not so with Intact Video and AC3.

I noticed in the previous release the ghosting effect in the Alternative settings when using a custom setting. I think it wasn't new but...I like it a lot anyway.Hmmm... I don't get this. In movie-only/alternate mode there is only one time that aften should be called -- and that's on the first segment. The "Processing audio tracks" and simply a message saying "I looked at it" -- but you shouldn't even be getting it. I guess I need to look at it again.

[Edit] Can you show me the preset you created for "Intact Video and AC3"? I just tested it with the one below and it is working fine????[00031]
caption=MKV, Intact Video and AC3 Audio
aType=0
aBitrate=*
vFormat=8
cType=1I did run into a muxing issue, though.

[AmigaFuture]

Ahh, cool. I wondered if something in the main config INI is not correct. Without parsing through it, I renamed my personal config and am trying an almost stock version. Modified [00028] as you see below. I got a good MKV with an AC3 and no subtitles because that's disabled.

[00029]
caption=MKV, Intact Video, AutoGOP, Auto-AC3
vBitrate=2000
aBitrate=*
aType=0
vFormat=8
vKeyint=Auto

I've disabled the Single Audio and Subtitles settings in SETUP, now checking that for an MKV with multiple AC3 and subtitles.

On a hunch, in Setup, I set the limit for 1 AC3 and the process completes fine with 1 audio selected. More than 1 MKVMERGE does not complete.I just did a test with Toy Story 3 (which has 47 segments) and kept 3 audio streams. It worked fine. But... there was a bug I fixed yesterday related to multipart sources made up of huge numbers of segments in which intact video was kept. Is it possible that is what you are seeing rather than the multiple audio tracks?

You're welcome...and I'm not fully sure what's causing it...other than changing settings which seem audio tracks related. I'll have to watch very carefully to see if video is doing it... However, when AC3's are part of the process, that's when it fails. An example, because I was curious.. "Shawshank Redemption":

I'm thinking that's related to what I've been noticing. Again, with my tests, when using Intact Video and AAC even with 3 streams the MKV completed build. I'm doing some head scratching also.

Edit 1: BD-RB is processing the Shawshank with AAC on all 3 tracks.
So you know, something cosmetic...the Current Progress counter showed a final of 114.XX% complete for AC3 tracks 1 & 2.

I expected to see a complete mux...a little surprised.

"Warning: AAC files may contain HE-AAC / AAC+ / SBR AAC audio. This can NOT be detected automatically. Therefore you have to specifiy '--aac-is-sbr 0' manually for this input file if the file actually contains SBR AAC. The file will be muxed in the WRONG way otherwise. Also read mkvmerge's documentation.

I'll have BD-RB reprocess Shawshank after I check the MKV output...and see if it shows something like that with the AC3's.

Ok i just backup RISE_OF_THE_GUARDIANS_3D and I got a split screen on BD5 disc, what did I do wrong, here is build for BD-RB::confused:

[jdobbs]

@AmigaFuture

The part that is confusing is: 1. Why is it working for me and not for you? 2. Why (at least once) are you getting a permission error?

[Edit] I tried using the settings you posted, but they are obviously not the ones used for the encodes. They are set for "Full Backup" and no ALTERNATE selected.

I'm starting to believe there is something wrong with your setup. I'd suggest you uninstall and reinstall everything (BD-RB, AVISYNTH, FFDSHOW, and HAALI). You might want to try a completey different folder as well (somewhere that we know there won't be a rights issue). If you haven't done so, you might also want to ensure a cold reboot of your system.

The Aften failure with my MacBook Pro was because I copied it corrupted from my Main computer due to what seems to be a defrag corruption..from a program I was trying...not the OS vesion. I'm doing more checks now, wanting to avoid reinstalling the OS. Doing more checks.

[AmigaFuture]

Looks like I found the bug without having to reinstall Windows.

Using Paul Unrated, and these Alternate MKV Settings:

[00029]
caption=MKV, Intact Video, AutoGOP, Auto-AC3
vBitrate=2000 (<- I don't actually think is was needed)
aBitrate=*
aType=0
vFormat=8
vKeyint=Auto
cType=1

When the MKV build failed, I remembered the chat about 0 byte AC3 files. I checked the Work directory and Yep.. The 2 English AC3's that weren't rererendered wheren't copied/placed. Instead, 2 0 AC3 files were created. So, I copied and renamed the last 2 untouched AC3's and replaced 0 bytes. Clicked Backup again, had it resume which did a final build containing 3 AC3s, 1 Video and 1 chapter but no subs. I have a feeling that if I had copied the AC3s before it finished that all would be good. Here's the log.

Output is an MKV with Video, 3 AC3's and Chapters. No Subtitles. So, figuring if the process could finish complete on its own, SUP will be added also. So, have it create a new MKV with AC3's still in place from the previous job. The built completed again, but SUP's weren't added.
I'll have BD-RB do another test later today replacing the 0 byte AC3's while BD-RB does its thing. Anyway, that's some cool news, I think. Ahh, I'm tired..I just remembered I'm not currently using any of the Hidden Options. So, no wonder...no subs. Haha!

[sojourner353]

Is your DGDecNV licensed? Neuron2 has stated that the program will not function correctly, if it isn't licensed.

"This software requires a license! If you attempt to run the software without a valid license in place you will receive no explicit notification of that fact. Instead, various functions of the program will simply fail to operate correctly"

So I got my license today for DGDecNV and doing a BD now without issue, thanks for the heads up, very pleased with the results too, 2x faster than DirectShow and LAVF so for me its a keeper, cheers.

I have uninstalled virtually everything else on the system that is video related, uninstalled and reinstalled Haali, ffdshow, and Avisynth and nothing helps.

It runs fine with 43.06 but not with the later releases.

I've been trying to figure this out for a week with no success. Any ideas? What pieces other than BDRB are different with the new versions?

The system has been in place for over a year, Win7 x64 Pro, Sandy Bridge, not overclocked. The system runs cool. New versions work fine on my Ivy Bridge, just not this one.

[JJB]

If you have LAVF checked in the settings then un-check it.
Check it if its not then re-try. Cant' hurt.

[AmigaFuture]

@dfsooner

That log doesn't share important information. I've noticed bad rips do that, but couldn't say from your share that that is it.

[dfsooner]

@dfsooner

That log doesn't share important information. I've noticed bad rips do that, but couldn't say from your share that that is it.

Not bad rips because I can run the same rip on another system and it works ok. Also it fails on ALL rips (done on different systems and different drives).

JJB - I don't use LAVF; I use MULTIPROCESS=1

Also, that doesn't explain why it works with 43.06.

Update: I just got the same type of failure on my Ivy system.


Update 2: Just got a clue!! I haven't confirmed it yet, but it looks like it might be a LAN issue. The latest failures occurred when the source folder was on another system or server.

What good does it do to say "I have an issue" without any supporting information? Throw me a bone here. I've tried Tarot cards -- but all they tell me is that your problem will be meeting a tall dark stranger.

[Added] A large percentage of my encodes are done via LAN. Are you doing it by assigning a drive number or browsing the network? I generally assign a drive to the share.

@JDobbs

Hello again. I went ahead and backed everything needed from my MacBook Pro and reinstalled 7 completely; not an overwrite of the previous or repair of the OS as some people call it. I also installed and updated Boot Camp to the newest 3.3. Everything went well. So, installed AviSynth, FFDShow, the MatroskaSplitter, as well as unzipped (WinRAR is not yet installed) a fresh copy of 44.06. I've also installed a fresh copy of Firefox. Ran BD-RB in Admin mode, let it make the changes after I made changes after installing FFDShow from the first page. I have not updated 7 to Service Pack 1, yet..no other updates either to the OS. No other software, including video editing, has been installed and the machine does function very well. FFDShow are the only Codecs package I use. :-)

So, here are the results from my MacBook Pro with Paul (Unrated). I hope this is helpful.

@AmegaFuture

Please check your PM.

[dfsooner]

If you don't post complete logs and your config file -- I can't help you. Hell, I don't even know what disc you're trying to do. What good does it do to say "I have an issue" without any supporting information? Throw me a bone here. I've tried Tarot cards -- but all they tell me is that your problem will be meeting a tall dark stranger.

[Added] A large percentage of my encodes are done via LAN. Are you doing it by assigning a drive number or browsing the network? I generally assign a drive to the share.

It was not my intent to get you involved. I kind of doubted it was a problem with BDRB or the titles. I was pretty sure it was my problem, but I had run out of places to look. I was only trying to find out how long I could use 43.06 before it expired and if anyone else on the forum was aware of what supporting programs might have changed other than BDRB that I might investigate.

I actually believe now that my router had gotten out of kilter when I upgraded a couple of my servers and did not reboot the router to make sure all the IP addresses were properly reassigned. Anyway that's my theory at this point. Sorry to upset you.

[jdobbs]

I'm not upset. I just want enough information to actually do something about a posted bug.

But... to post an issue in the "Bug Reports Only" thread and then say "It was not my intent to get you involved" is a little disingenuous, don't you think?

[sojourner353]

Just a quick question, now BDRB has made it possible to backup and re-encode 3DBD's to MKV & MP4, is there a future plan to bring MVC encoding into the picture to backup and re-author a 3DBD50 to a 3DBD25?

There is a few ways out there to achieve it I have found but big $ and experience is required and the cheaper alternative DVDFab is hit and miss as to if the end result actually works without freezing, MIB3 3D and Monsters Inc. 3D are classic examples of miss with DVDFab, cheers.

[dfsooner]

No, I don't.

You are obviously preoccupied with mkv, 3D, etc. and I didn't want to send you off on a tangent. I didn't give particulars about the failures because they were obviously not title-specific and I didn't think anyone else could reproduce them to determine a cause. I asked for general information from other posters on this forum because they sometimes provide insight to each other. The only forums I am aware of relative to BDRB are this one and the one on "new feature requests". This didn't fall in to either category. So ... where else do I go to ask such questions?

[jdobbs]

No, I don't.

But there are two limiting factors today: 1) There is no freeware MVC encoder available. 2.) There is no burning software capable of burning the SSIF/M2TS shared sector format.

Until those two things happen, it isn't possible outside of a couple very, very expensive authoring packages. It may be possible to get around #2, but only by duplicating sectors (which will lower available bitrate/quality). Outside of those two things 3D disc creation isn't really very complicated.

Thanks for the explanation, I am assuming DVDFab gets around #2 like you mention resulting in the hit and miss results many have, does DVDFab even re-author to MVC? I am assuming it does because the ssif files are still there after a re-author.

Would it be possible for us users who own DVDFab to take/borrow the MVC encoder out of DVDFab and use it in BDRB, that is if it uses an MVC encoder at all?

Don't flame me for asking that please, cheers.

I know it is debugging thread, but I will support Jdobbs in this case. If you take two identical file you cannot make stereo view file or at least I haven’t seen it as an option. What it probably does compress m2ts file separately and then during burning it create ssif file to link them together.

If you think about for a second if he had mvc encoder he probably add this option in another modules of his program. (I am not talking about side by side, over and under ones)

Fengtao was also mentioning about if you use dvdfab virtual to mount folder and it will create ssif on the fly.

[colinhunt]

But I have no idea how DVDFab works.
It hardly ever does.

[Ch3vr0n]

@Colinhunt: QFT on that one. I tried DVDCrap a few times to compress full 3D only and hybrid 3D discs. Only 1 managed to complete successfully and after a while it was riddled with artifacts to the point where the movie just "stuck". The timer kept going but the movie didn't. All the others (of over a dozen i tried", processed for a while and then the thing errored out with some random "filter error". I wouldn't spend a penny on it for there 3D shrink feature

Why I won't be surprised I gave another try last night and it really mess up the color in video file; when blue become orange you know program is messed up. Ch3vr0n call it DVDCrap and I call it DVDBug because by definition it is exactly that. On a side note I used Rovi MVC encoder and so far I like it and best part about encoder is it's ability to accept avisynth input without any problem. $ 6K is not bad for it, if you compare it to cinema craft MVC and Sony do studio mvc encoder.

[jdobbs]

$ 6K is not bad for it, if you compare it to cinema craft MVC and Sony do studio mvc encoder. Ughhh... $6K is too much to pay for any software.

With that said, let's get off the side discussions and bring this thread back on-topic.

[Winenut]

Just switched to the latest version v0.44.06 (from 43.04, which was working just fine) and got his with this message "AnyDVD Remove Annoying Adverts: Incompatible", which I'd never seen before...and have been using that AnyDVD since it was introduced without issue. But I figured I'd turn it off, and re-rip the source. And I still get that error message.

This is a Movie Only encode, and so I'm having trouble understanding what effect that setting would have...and why I would still get this message after turning this feature off in AnyDVD?

Does this somehow alter the time tables or something that messes with your encoding? Also, I noticed that I no longer see the sets of tasks (I'm used to seeing, such as FFDSHOW) in the tray. Does this version encode differently from the prior version I was using?

Also, I had run this (both with and without that AnyDVD setting turned on) to a full output file (no re-Encode). That worked (or seemed to), but then BD Builder threw the same error message for both versions of the combined (single M2TS file). Note that the resultant M2TS file plays just fine via Splash Pro...even at the point where the two files are put together. Both video and audio.

But here's the latest attempt to re-encode the pair of M2TS files into a very slightly compressed single M2TS file. Note that it fails on the 2nd M2TS file.

slightly OT, but something i just noticed. under the executable name of bdrb.exe it lists "BD Rebuilder" & "jdobbs softworks" (as usual), but inspect.exe yields "Haskell Industries"? Never noticed that before, who's that?

[jdobbs]

@Winenut

That check has been there for many releases including 43.04. You need to turn it off -- because it has been proven to cause issues in the past. With that said, it probably isn't what stopped your system. I'd recommend you reinstall BD-RB, AVISYNTH, HAALI, a FFDSHOW.

kinda, since the original show where that dude appears in 1st dates back to nov 1st, '57. Reboot dates back to '80s. I'm from that 2nd generation. '83 to be exact. Dude itself doesn't ring a bell though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_Haskell

With this latest version, unchecking does not remove the error. Apparently you have to ALSO uncheck the REMOVE PROHIBITIVE USER OPERATIONS before that message will disappear. But even then, it failed again...and with no indication of the error...

Also, I might add that the new version encodes much slower...when it's actually running. And uses up considerbly less CPU, while running slower. If I get it working again, perhaps I'll increase the number of concurrent encode threads. I had been using 3, which was more than enough...with the older version.

As this is VC-1, which in the past has occasionally caused issues, I'll try another one, encoded using AVC...and let you know how that goes. But I don't think this issue has anything to do with the AnyDVD settings. And BTW, I didn't recently change my AnyDVD version. Running 7.1.8.0.

You need to reinstall... because this version isn't slower, if anything it should be slightly faster. Also, the way BD-RB handles multiple instances hasn't changed at all. It sounds like you may have other issues.

By the way, you have to uncheck the box before you rip. Doing so after the disc has been ripped to HD won't have any affect -- and the damage is already done. But.. BD-RB looks in the registry and checks the current state of that setting.

[AmigaFuture]

Funny nobody ever noticed it before. That's just a little tip-of-the-hat to Eddie Haskell (from Leave it to Beaver). It kinda' gives my age away, doesn't it?

J, are you sure? Hehe...perhaps I should have chuckled here when I noticed. He (Eddie) was cool, a nice bit of contrast. Age...is whatever you make it to be.

[Winenut]

I did turn them off, for each re-rip (yesterday), but I like to keep them on for other reasons...since I sometimes decide the compressed results just aren't good enough and decide to burn a DL version instead. And for that, I want those settings on. And since I ONLY do "Movie Only" encodes, I'm trying to figure out why your software would care. I'm not doing any blanking or any other actions related to other titles. Just the main title for a "Movie Only" encode.

And I tried the AVC encode and that failed as well. Though I did keep the AnyDVD settings off, so did not see that error again. But looking in the registry is not remotely a guarantee, as I might have something I ripped a year ago (with those settings on).

In any case, Re-Install what? Those components you mentioned or BD Rebuilder? Because if so, why? Nothing else in my system has changed...except for BD Rebuilder. And I hate to reinstall stuff, as really I have to Uninstall those components, go into the Registry and clean up the garbage their uninstalls leave behind (which is usually EVERYTHING), and then reinstall them. Otherwise my Registry just gets more cluttered up. Windows is just not smart enough to reuse entries. But if that's what's needed, I can do that. Just want to be sure the mechanic is just not unplugging wires and plugging them back in just to see if that's the problem.

But in any case, what changed in BD RB between the time this issue was not be reported as an issue and now. And why would there be a potential conflict or configuration issue in my system with DirectShow?

Also, there was reference to looking in some DirectShowxxxxx.txt file for instructions on possibly resolving a DirectShow related issue...but where can I find that?

Thanks.

[gonca]

@Winenut
Those options in AnyDvd are great for straight playback but they can mess up an encode by possibly affecting playlists, etc.
Nothing has changed in your system? No media player updates, encoding software, codec packs, windows updates, WMP updates.
Uninstall FFDshow, Haali, avisynth, and delete BD_RB. Reinstall all of them to eliminate any issues on your computer.

[Winenut]

Yes. No updates (period). No installs. Nothing except the new version of BD Rebuilder...and so I'm not convinced this is a problem related to FFDSHOW, Haali, or Avisynth. I have the recommended versions installed, and Inspect flags everything as ok. So call me stubborn, I don't take out the engine and put it back when it won't start...just because I don't know what else to do.

In checking through my accumulated logs, it does seem I've been using DirectShow for a long time...but perhaps some of the changes related to BD Rebuilder's handling 3D discs differently (and I don't use 3D discs) might have altered the options and perhaps that's the issue. And perhaps I need to change something. But what? But one day (under 43.04) it worked, and the next (under 44.06) it didn't. For any disc I've tried.

BD Rebuilder is not really installed per say. Just unzipped into the it's folder...which my shortcut points to. And I tried running it as an Administrator, in case this latest version needed that. But that's didn't help.

But I'll see if can download a prior version (before 44.04, which the problem seems to have started to be reported)...and it that's works...

[Winenut]

I downloaded and am running verrsion 44.03...and its seems to be working very nicely. Much farther along on this particular title than 44.06 got. And unlike 44.06, I see the 2 pair (3 each) of FFdshow and Haali in the tray (since I'm running DirectShow as a 3-way)...just as I'm used to seeing.

So once again...what changed with 44.04 (iinto the 44.06 version that would not work for me) that makes it different in how it works from 44.03?

[Winenut]

Is this it? Because it appears to only be applicable to 3D ?

- Added support for output of 3D source BDs to
SBS 3D via the SETUP dialog. This option only
supports movie-only (including ALTERNATE)
mode and will only function if you have
separately installed and properly configured
the DirectshowMVCSource() DLL according to
it's accompanying documentation. BD-RB must
also have write access to it's folder. This
feature should be especially useful in making
3D MKV and MP4 files or even DVDs from 3D BDs.
The output, of course, requires a monitor or
TV that supports SBS 3D.(v0.44.2)
- Added a new hidden option "TYPE_OF_3D" that
will allow you to specify an alternate output
type for 3D (other that the default SBS).
Options include Over/Under and Anaglyph.
(v0.44.2)

Is this saying that I need to do something with the DLL for DirectshowMVCSource() to 2D discs? Because i did not install it. Because as far as I can see I don't have this particular DLL installed. All I have is the DirectShowSource.dll.

[gonca]

I use 44.06 and it works fine. You don't need to worry about Directshowmvcsource unless you are encoding to 3D. The installation of the helper apps might have become corrupted. Try uninstalling and reinstalling, or hope that JDobbs starts making house calls.

[jdobbs]

But looking in the registry is not remotely a guarantee, as I might have something I ripped a year ago (with those settings on).Sigh... You obviously don't remotely know how the registry works and probably shouldn't be making comments about things you don't understand. :rolleyes: Just as an FYI, that just happens to be where AnyDVD stores its current settings.So once again...what changed with 44.04 (iinto the 44.06 version that would not work for me) that makes it different in how it works from 44.03? I've told you the issue is local to your system, I made suggestions that you have apparently decided to ignore. Version 44.06 is working great for everyone on the planet but you. Shouldn't that tell you something?In any case, Re-Install what?Huh? Perhaps you should look at this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1629060#post1629060). It said exactly what you should reinstall.

You might make sure you have gotten the latest Windows updates. The problems I was having with 44.06 seem to have waned since the latest batch were applied. Don't know if it's relevant or not but it can't hurt.

[sojourner353]

Hi all,

I have made an interesting discovery I think regarding BD3D re-encoding/re-authoring, I recently asked jdobbs to add a alternate profile to output Full SBS 3D to MKV which results in a SBS Output of 3840x1080 which do work very well on PC, I was looking for a way to play this result in Blu-Ray Format and what I done was I put the created MKV into tsMuxer and set it to output to a Blu-Ray Disc and after it created it I tried to open it with TotalMedia Theatre 6 and it didn't like it much but PowerDVD 13 auto switched to 3D mode and played it back as if it was a original 3D Disc and reported it was outputting in 1920x1080 and its size was under BD25 so I can burn it to smaller media.

Thought this was interesting and thought I would share, I doubt it will work on standalone players but I will try later.

Edit: Tried the result burnt on RE media on my Samsung BD3D standalone player and as expected no Video out but HD Audio was being output perfect on a good note it still worked perfect from the PC using a software player, I was able to get TotalMedia Theatre 6 working by manually switching to 3D but PowerDVD 13 works flawless with auto 3D Switching.

[jdobbs]

I experienced exactly this ERROR some time ago repeatedly. I could fix it by using this version of wavi.exe. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1508525#post1508525)
Maybe you give it a try and report back if it solves the 'aften' issue.Thought I mention... the link reference is for WAVI.EXE 1.06m -- that's the same one that is distributed with BD-RB.

[Sharc]

Thought I mention... the link reference is for WAVI.EXE 1.06m -- that's the same one that is distributed with BD-RB.
Ah good, thanks. It has been quite a while ago since I found that the former version should probably be replaced by this one - at least for my system.

Please check your PM.

Is that what happens when eyes become code-crossed?? Haw, haw!

[thegame]

I am really sorry if this has been asked before I went back quite a few pages and even tried the forum search and found nothing, but I do remember a long time ago this being talked about, but does BD-RB have a problem with PIP audio? I ran it on a title and everything on the BD works but the PIP audio, and I see that when I load the BD into BD-RB and I click on full some audio files are still "x" out, so I click on them to un "x" them but one file stays "x" is this the audio for the PIP? which I think it read DTS Express, and again sorry for bringing this up now because like I said I do remember quite some time ago this being discussed but I cannot find it now, but it would be nice to have audio with the PIP lol.

Thanks

*EDIT, never mind, I googled some more and found my answer at the Slysoft forums lol, I read that I needed to enable a hidden setting in my ini file, DTSX_ENABLE=1, so I am trying it out now.

Thanks and sorry to bring up and old subject.

[Ch3vr0n]

you need to enable the hidden options for them to be processed. Enter the following into the bdrebuilder.ini file in it's installation folder "ENABLE_TEST=1" and "DTSX_ENABLE=1". That will allow them to be processed. Remember though, not all standalone players like the way how BDRB does it's magic. Some play the audio, some don't (even if your player is setup properly to allow for mixed audio). More often then not software players like powerdvd don't play the pip stream at all, if they do. Usually without audio aswell.

dts-e or pip audio streams in general can easily be identified.

they'll be labelled something like "AUD_008 (2nd) DTS-Express, Stereo, English". note that the "DTS-Express" part can also be AC3. There will also be an entry under the main video title for "Secundairy Video". That's the pip stream video.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.09). Changes for this version:- Updated the IMPORT FILE function so that PGS
subtitles (.SUP) are imported from MKV files
when they are present.
- Corrected an issue in which multipart sources
consisting of a very large number of segments
could cause a failed demux.
- Fixed an error introduced in v0.44.6 that may
cause "ERROR in attempt to mux (MKVMERGE)"
during rebuild to ALTERNATE output.
- Corrected an error that could result in audio
reencode errors or a failed rebuild (due to
zero length AC3 files).
- Corrected an error in which backup MPLS files
were not being properly renamed when performing
a QUICK_PLAY backup.
- Fixed a problem in Quick-Play rebuild that may
result in "DoEncoding() 00058 2408" error.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r2334).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r2334).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Ahh, cool, I'll test that first underline soon...been hoping for that. For now, though, it was awesome to watch "Keeping original audio.." as it also copied the AC3 files for "Paul". Whoohoo!! No 0 byte files where created or harmed in this test. (Laughing as I'm make fun of those disclaimers about animals in movies.)

Paul completed...Video, audio tracks, subs, chapters...all are doing well as I seek through. I'll watch/listen tonight but I have 0 doubt. High 5, JDobbs!! Toy Story 3 hasn't finished yet, no doubt there either as I watched the same happen.

Sweeet! :D

Edit: There's a video reencode happening with Toy Story 3..I'll post when it's finished.

I found it! Disabled "Quicker" Encode for Extras and ran it again. This time, no reencode of video for Toy Story 3. It's rebuilding now.

I aim to please... :)

And you are quite the marksman!! ;) :D
:thanks:

[AmigaFuture]

It's building with MKVMERGE now, so...it's complete. ;) If that were to fail...I'll update This message. Hence, don't expect it. Haha! Woo! Wicked Cool, JDobbs! I Knew my Desktop is doing well. Haha! That was fun, and a bit learned.

[dfsooner]

Just rebuilt Dredd with 44.09. Completed without error and output looks good. Subtitles work great too.

[sojourner353]

Hi all,

Is there a way to work on MKV sources directly in BDRB I have some I want to re-encode using alternate profiles?

BDRB does such a great job and what I do at the moment is rebuild the MKV into a BR structure using tsMuxer then feed it into BDRB to work on it that way but if BDRB could accept MKV source that would be great, thanks, have a good one.

[AmigaFuture]

Are you unsure you want to?

Use BD-RB's import feature. File then Import.. In the Alternative Output, Put a Check on "Output BD or AVCHD Compliant Structure."

Thanks for that tried everything but click on the file menu, was using the browse function, cheers.

[Winenut]

First, per suggestion, I merely removed and reinstalled (using the existing versions I had). And that didn't work.

I tried that first, as your suggestion it was a problem with my system...and if were corruption, just reinstalling should (at least in theory) should have fixed it.

I then checked the current versions on your site. Of the three supporting applications, only AviSynth has not changed. Even though AviSynth was the exact (bit for bit) same version I had, I downloaded it along with the other two...and installed them. I then downloaded a fresh copy of BD Rebuilder 44.06 and unzipped that...effectively installing it. And just in case, gave it Admin Authority.

FFdshow is now at 1.2.4422.0
MatroskaSplitter is now at 1.4.92.1
AviSynth is still at 2.5.8.5

That worked for the AVC titles I was doing that day, but did not work for the VC-1 title...which I thought at the time might be bad.

Today I worked on a different AVC title, and like before...it failed.

Note that this time I was re-encoding down to a BD5.

I'm the current (version 11) of DirectX, and as far as I know on the correct version of DirectShow. Since MS does not generally include updates (as fixes), but instead releases whole new versions. I couldn't find that any of the updates (that I've not applied) had anything to do with DirectX or DirectShow.

Now it's possible this disc is bad or involves something that makes it more difficult to handle. I don't know. Some work and some don't. And prior to installing 44.06, I never had any problems remotely like this. At least not related to the initial install of BD Rebuilder.

@Winenut
What are you using, and what version, to decrypt the movie?

Try using the latest version of BD_RB

[AmigaFuture]

@ sojourner353

You're welcome. I'm glad to help.

@ Winenut

Looks like a possible bad rip. Are you using AnyDVD (HD)?

[jdobbs]

@Winenut

I'm ripping "PARKER" now to see if it might be a ripping issue. I'll let you know how it comes out.

Just as an observation, though, you're going to have a hard time getting decent quality by encoding using the fastest setting and ABR when you have a BD-5 selected for output.

[Edit] I'm currently running "PARKER" after ripping with AnyDVD 7.2.0.0 and it seems to be encoding fine. I'll post the log when it completes.

If your installation worked for a while and then stopped... there is a VERY GOOD CHANCE that some other software package is meddling with the settings of intercepting. Reinstall FFDSHOW again and re-run the job. If it works -- then something else is definitely screwing with your setup. If you have any "Codec Packs" installed -- remove them.

[Winenut]

It was done as a test...because it's faster to encode a BD5. And as you can see, all the tools are up to date and I was using 44.06.

In any case, switching back to 44.03, I had no problem. Encoded just fine. So it's not the disk.

Busy at work, so further testing and research will have to wait for the weekend. But I thought of something last night and I post this as soon as I do it. But I figure I'll save the LAST.CMD from the good encode and compare it with the LAST.CMD from the bad encode...to see if there a difference...as I'm expecting there will be.

Here's the two LAST.CMD files...and they are appear identical.

Bad Encode...

"J:\SMB DATA\SMB2 Data\SMB Downloads\BD Rebuilder\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "E:\BD WORK\Z-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00800.3.AVS" --preset superfast --bluray-compat --b-pyramid none --weightp 1 --qpmin=0 --bitrate 4027 --level 4.0 --qpfile "E:\BD WORK\Z-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00800.3.CHP" --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 13000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --threads auto --thread-input --output "E:\BD WORK\Z-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00800.AVS.3.264"

Good Encode...

"J:\SMB DATA\SMB2 Data\SMB Downloads\BD Rebuilder\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "E:\BD WORK\Z-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00800.3.AVS" --preset superfast --bluray-compat --b-pyramid none --weightp 1 --qpmin=0 --bitrate 4027 --level 4.0 --qpfile "E:\BD WORK\Z-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00800.3.CHP" --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 13000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --threads auto --thread-input --output "E:\BD WORK\Z-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00800.AVS.3.264"

So since the 3rd party tools are the same, I though it might be X264. But they are same version between two releases.

Interestingly enough, I can take the failed encode...the WORKFILES and continue the encode with 44.03...and it works. So it's nothing to do with the work that precedes that point.

SteveTry moving the x264.exe from 44.03 to 44.06 and see if it completes.

Have you tried it with the latest release (v0.44.09)? There is a newer version of X264 in that one -- and there were a lot of fixes made in the last three minor releases.

So, if you created the MKV with BD-RB it would not (by default) include the subtitles.

Look in HIDDENOPTS.TXT -- and add this hidden option:

MKV_MUXSUPS=1

If the subtitles exist in the MKV, BDRB will import them automatically.

[soneca]

Writing SUPs to MKV is not the default (although it will be on the next release).
Thanks!
Rarely use this option so I had not paid attention to the hidden option...:(
Glad that option is no longer hidden in the next version!;)

[omegaman7]

I've been doing some tests with mkv(sup embedded), and it has worked very well!!!

So have I. And it is good. Oddly, I swear I've outputted MKV with Sups embedded, without forcing any setting :S I could be mistaken.

[soneca]

May have activated configuration and forgotten that.:D

[omegaman7]

Nope, it's not activated. I probably am mistaken about it outputting with SUP. I greatly look forward to the auto embed feature. But the hidden option could due for now ;)

90% of the time (Lately), I output to AVCHD BD-9 movie only. The 'Great' movies though, I backup to BD-25.

[AmigaFuture]

I've been testing the Alternate Output (MKV) pretty extensively with AC3 because of recent events.. Thus far, I'm very pleased. Most of my Blu-ray originals I've used the 25GB Backup with. For when Friends and Family come over. Massive thumbs Up to Digistor for their quality BD25 disks (or Euro...disc), too! However, (Huuuuge) thanks to JDobbs and recent events, I've been able to make backups for my TV and LG player via USB. My originals are even now ..more... closely protected than before...as well as "Here, connect this Hard Drive.." I'll never replace the portable HDD, for my disks (discs), and thanks to the JDobbs, BD-RB fits many desires. Everyone should donate...it's Brilliant software by a passionate programmer!

Another note, once I moved OUTPUT_FOLDER from being after [Paths] in the config............Whooo!! Very nice option. I haven't really tried it until tonight. Good speed difference to a completely different partition as I knew!!


JDobbs... Watch "Paul" (or don't)..No Matter --> Thanks............Man!!

[omegaman7]

Mmmm, I have some digistor BD-25 discs. They seem agreeable.
It's a CMCMAG-BA5 dye.

[Yannes]

A few days back I did a batch queue of 3 blu-rays to BD25 format (I use custom size: 24000 for that), it turned out that the first blu-ray was perfect in size like usual, but the 2 other blu-rays turned out to be about 25.500.00.000 in size, about a GB larger than I indicated. After changing the output setting to the default BD25 mode, this problem still occurred, the size didn't even change. I checked the .inf files for the settings and it looks just like previous BD25 back-ups I did. This problem occurred with version 0.44.04 as well as 0.44.09.

The source blu-ray was a stripped criterion blu-ray with only two 400MB menu files and 1 video .m2ts of about 33GB. The output size is always between 24.000.000.000 and 24.500.000.000 just like I want it to be. The output size in this case was 25,556,638,909 bytes.

One megabyte is 1048576 bytes. 24000 * 1048576 = 25,165,824,000. The 1% difference is simply rounding due to encoding and muxing accuracy.

What can I say? If you tell BD-RB to output to a size that won't fit on a BD -- you'll get a size that won't fit on a BD. I'd suggest you use the default BD-25 setting.

[RobertM]

(I use custom size: 24000 for that), it turned out that the first blu-ray was perfect in size like usual, but the 2 other blu-rays turned out to be about 25.500.00.000 in size

24000 MB will certainly fit within the capacity of a 25GB BD-R. The problem is that true final size won't be known until the encode has been completed. The bit-size of each frame of film will vary depending upon the content, and BD-RB cannot predict that with 100% accuracy ahead of time. So your 24000 setting is just a target, and BD-RB tries to hit it as best it can.

If you do as JDobbs suggests, and use the default setting (23500 MB), then there will be a little more elbow room for an undersized estimate to still fit on a BD-25 disc.

I use a custom setting of 24200 MB and this almost always gives a burn size of 98% according to ImgBurn. I always use good quality media, so that edge problems (burning close to the max capacity of the disc) should be minimized. I've never detected a problem. I do occasionally get an over-sized rebuild, of course, but probably less than 10% of the time. I just reduce the target and run the process again for that title.

Hope this helps.

[Capsbackup]

I always use good quality media, so that edge problems (burning close to the max capacity of the disc) should be minimized. I've never detected a problem.

Maybe not a problem right away from the initial burn/verify, but after playing the disc a few times, in and out of the disc tray and case, touching with our fingers, etc... makes the disc more susceptible to premature failure. :(

[jdobbs]

Maybe not a problem right away from the initial burn/verify, but after playing the disc a few times, in and out of the disc tray and case, touching with our fingers, etc... makes the disc more susceptible to premature failure. :(Agreed. I would never trust the outer edges -- even on the most expensive high-quality disc. Is it really worth losing your valuable data to get that last 1% of the disc (which will not noticably affect quality)?
24000 MB will certainly fit within the capacity of a 25GB BD-R
If it fits it is pure luck because of undersizing. A BD+R will hold 25,025,314,816 bytes. So I would never recommend a setting of 24000 - as if it sized perfectly it would be 25,165,824,000 and would not fit.

[omegaman7]

I've had Taiyo Yuden discs age at the outer edge. Thankfully, the credits ended up at the edge of the disc ;) I don't even mind undersizing by 1Gb. The difference is negligible, in my opinion. Though I have ran into a few discs, where some material could benefit from that 1Gb, if prioritizing bitrate were possible. Not really hinting here, just an observation.

Though one defect, can compromise a complete backup ;) I no longer use those Disc booklets. Notorious for scratching discs over time. I prefer envelopes, and hard drive backups now.

I can't argue with your math: it's spot on.

But...

BD-RB under-sizes my re-encodes all the time. With the default settings I was regularly getting disc image sizes of 94% to 96% (and one 92% IIRC), which I thought was a bit small. Since I switched to 24200 MB (23.63 GB) I regularly get 98%. In fact, for the last 10 rebuilds which required re-encoding none were oversized and none were over 98.5%. Here's the list:


Image size Disc fill %
24,633,278,464 98.4%
24,632,688,640 98.4%
24,549,098,440 98.1%
24,640,028,672 98.5%
24,624,824,320 98.4%
24,629,018,624 98.4%
24,472,190,976 97.8%
24,626,135,040 98.4%
24,639,075,496 98.5%
24,603,376,672 98.3%



By way of comparison, I ran a couple of encodes recently after d/l the latest version of BD-RB, and I forgot to set my custom size, so the target was the default of 22.95 GB. Here's what I got:


Image size Disc fill %
23,923,326,976 95.6%
23,883,546,624 95.4%


I do get the occasional over-size, and anything that comes in at >99% I re-run with default settings.

All I'm saying is if you use a custom setting of 24000 MB in BD-RB it will fit virtually all the time. This isn't the right thing for everybody, but I feel it works well for me.

And it's not a bug anyway, so I won't belabour the point any more.

And I should say that ALL of my backups are High-Quality, 2-pass, Movie-Only. So it's possible that my results might not apply when doing a Full-Backup, for instance.

[jdobbs]

Yep. Too each his/her own. The undersizing is purposeful. Whenever there is variability (especially in estimating muxing overhead, and it is truly an educated guess) I always make sure to err on the side of caution. People get mean when they spend a few hours encoding only to have the output not fit on their target (even when they use a custom size and cause the oversize themselves ;)).

Though one defect, can compromise a complete backup ;) I no longer use those Disc booklets. Notorious for scratching discs over time. I prefer envelopes, and hard drive backups now. The ones that really tick me off are the dual-layer backups that start screwing up right in the middle of the movie (at the layer change). These days, though, you can get inexpensive BD-25's for about a nickle more than a Dual Layer DVD+R blank, so I only see it on the occasional test backup.

[omegaman7]

Yeah, I haven't used a Dual layer dvd since I got my first BD burner :D The BD-9 size, just seems to be agreeable. I plan to play around more though, in an attempt to save hard drive space. I have seen Excellent results under 3Gb. Typically the CGI movies.

I agree, it is difficult to get reliable medias, I have had many problems and 95% of them just at the point of changing layers.
Here, "the country of high taxes", this type of media is still a bit expensive.:mad:

[Yannes]

That setting is measured in megabytes. One megabyte is 1048576 bytes. 24000 * 1048576 = 25,165,824,000. The 1% difference is simply rounding due to encoding and muxing accuracy.

What can I say? If you tell BD-RB to output to a size that won't fit on a BD -- you'll get a size that won't fit on a BD. I'd suggest you use the default BD-25 setting.

The thing is that i've used 24000MB a few dozen times before and the output size was always between 24 and 24.5m bytes. And if you read my post you'd see that I did use the BD25 mode and the result was the same as the custom 24000 size, the movie file turned out to be a GB too large for no apparent reason.

There is bug somewhere in there, there is no denying that. The same problem occurred with another blu-ray I tried to shrink down as well, which had an end result of 25.5m bytes.

But sure, i'll do it again with BD25 mode and give some more in-depth details.

[RobertM]

There is bug somewhere in there, there is no denying that.

I don't agree. If most discs work fine and one (or two) are causing trouble then it is more logical to presume that it is those discs themselves that are the trouble. The target value is just that, a target, and the algorythm that estimates the final size is not precise -- it's a 'best guess'. On some discs the estimation is good, on others,... not good.

I would suggest a custom size that is a couple of GB smaller than your usual 24000. Try 22000 and see what happens.

[dfsooner]

Is it necessary that the 3D source contain the ssif files in order for subtitles to output correctly? I have tried to update subtitles both in the final mkv and the pseudo BD created by BDRB and the subtitles never display correctly. They appear on both the right and left side of the screen and are enlarged from what is normally seen. The files muxed in are BD sup files. What am I missing?

They appear on both the right and left side of the screen and are enlarged from what is normally seen. The files muxed in are BD sup files. What am I missing?Not sure I understand completely what you're asking. Subtitles in SBS 3D have to be repeated in each of the two split windows. When BD-RB processed them it resizes and repositions them during the rebuild. They aren't larger -- when viewing they will be exactly the same size as the originals. You wouldn't be able to mux in other subtitles -- because they haven't been processed and when you attempt 3D playback they will be a mess (spread across the screen as you mentioned).

If you want to add other subtitles, you have to do it before BD-RB processes the source, so they can be properly resized and repositioned for 3D. You don't have to mux them into the SSIF, only the M2TS file(s).

Now, in this discussion I'm talking about a BD source. But you mention a pseudo-BD. Are you trying to add the subtitles to a source that is already split screen from an MKV? If so, I don't think that can be done right now -- but I'll look at it. I already have the code -- I'd just have to find a way to process the SUP (or are these text subtitles?).

Now, in this discussion I'm talking about a BD source. But you mention a pseudo-BD. Are you trying to add the subtitles to a source that is already split screen from an MKV? If so, I don't think that can be done right now -- but I'll look at it. I already have the code -- I'd just have to find a way to process the SUP (or are these text subtitles?).

I started with .srt and converted them to .sup with 3Dsubtitler.

By pseudo-BD I mean the Blu-ray structure you create (contains a "PSEUDO" subfolder) before you extract the video, audio, and subtitle tracks and create the mkv. It does not contain ssif files so is it too late at that point to add subtitles? I also have a couple of SBS 3D mkv files I would like to add subtitles to and then import into BDRB, then recreate the mkv but it sounds like that probably won't work.

[AmigaFuture]

I thought I'd come back to "Live Free or Die Hard (4)"... When I set BD-RB to Full Backup not everything is listed. Warning, trailers, etc...those are missing from the list. When a Full Backup is preformed, they're still there.
When I en/disable Edit Mode the list refreshes but nothing else is added or removed from the list.

If I select Movie & Menus (Auto-Blank Extras), the list is the same in Full Backup except when I enable Edit Mode then everything is shown, and all extras are set to be blanked. Okay, cool. Now, if I step through the list removing the X's from what I do want to keep, what I want to keep in the processed project is not included. I'm using FORCE_NOENCODE=1 for now for "quicker" results. I've tried MIN_M2TS_SIZE=1 and 0 to see if it would have an effect. Nope.

Any other suggestions or this a bug? My config if anyone would like to try it..

[dfsooner]

Subtitles are not in the original disk, therefore not SBS.

3Dsubtitler is freeware downloadable from http://www.videohelp.com/tools/3DSubtitler which converts .srt subtitles to idx or sup.

I use subtitles a lot because of some hearing loss. Some subtitles are better than others, so I occasionally replace them (or add).


Oops! My bad. 3Dsubtitler does create SBS. The question is: at what stage do you mux these in?

I answered my own question. The new subtitles can be muxed into the final mkv - after the fact!

[Winenut]

Ok. Figured it out...thought don't know why.

There is one difference between 44.03 and 44.06...and that is the opencl.dll. In 44.03 there is just the opencl.dll (which I assume is 32-bit), and it 44.06 you have a newer version, which includes separate 32-bit and 64-bit dlls. I assume the opencl.dll invokes one or the other depending on the operation system.

But for my 64-bit version of Windows, the newer combo fails. However, if I substitute the older opencl.dll from 44.03 (replacing the 3 newer modules), it works.

I have to assume I'm not only one with a 64-bit version of Windows 7...so not sure why this doesn't work for me.

Basically with the older version, it loads the FFdshow and Haali subtasks (into the tray) and starts encoding. With the newer versions, it just stops (and fails).

SteveI don't know why you refuse to use the latest version (v0.44.09) -- but if you did your problem wouldn't have existed -- because that X264 doesn't need opencl.dll at all.

For that older version BD-RB looks at your O/S and renames the appropriate DLL so it will be used.

[Inwards]

I can confirm the same issue with the NA version of Howl's Moving Castle. 44.09 bombed with the same error near the end. Taking the same project and running it in 44.03 worked fine.

I wasn't trying to not use 44.09. I only noticed it existed today. Last weekend it appeared that 44.06 was the current release.

However, when I looked at the Changes for 44.09, it didn't appear there were any changes such as you described, so I figured I'd wait for your reply.

In any case, I'll go ahead and download 44.09 and give it try right now.

Thanks,

[Yannes]

The thing is that i've used 24000MB a few dozen times before and the output size was always between 24 and 24.5m bytes. And if you read my post you'd see that I did use the BD25 mode and the result was the same as the custom 24000 size, the movie file turned out to be a GB too large for no apparent reason.

There is bug somewhere in there, there is no denying that. The same problem occurred with another blu-ray I tried to shrink down as well, which had an end result of 25.5m bytes.

But sure, i'll do it again with BD25 mode and give some more in-depth details.

Ok, so I used the BD25 mode for once to proof my point and the blu-ray turned out to be way too big. The final size after converting is 25,049,242,733 bytes (only 100MB smaller than than the custom 24000 size I used before).

Is it possible that certain blu-rays (in this case a criterion blu-ray) can give problems with the program? I've never had this issue before and I've done multiple backups of criterion blu-rays.

[RobertM]

Is it possible that certain blu-rays (in this case a criterion blu-ray) can give problems with the program?

Yes. Some discs don't behave as predicted. It's dependent upon the program content.

So 24000 didn't fit, 23500 (BD-25 default) didn't fit. Try something smaller.

[jdobbs]

But according to his post, it didn't change sizes at all when he changed the target. If it is oversized by that much something is wrong with the configuration. Either that or (more likely) there is a glitch trying to use LAVF under an emulator since his system isn't really Windows. BD-RB wasn't designed to run under Linux -- and I can't predict that it will do under an emulator.

By the way the file that was posted isn't the CONFIG file -- it is the INF file. But you can see that BD-RB used a bitrate that should result in an M2TS that is 23,797,911,283 bytes long. But his actual file size is 24,205,621,248. That's too much to be caused by the encoding not being 100% accurate.

[Inwards]

and where is the bdrb log to backup that claim and provide the info needed?

Following up...

I did a number of tests with different ISOs and all of them failed at some point. My sources are ISOs that are mounted with Virtual CloneDrive over the LAN. Just for kicks, I copied the ISOs locally and re-ran the tests. Everything worked fine on the same three ISOs that failed.

Odd.

While doing a SBS-backup of Wreck it Ralph 3D I've run into a small problem:

Apparently the re-encoding of the video is skipped if the input size is smaller than the target. In my case I had set the target as BD-25 and BDR reported the input size of 21.17 GB. After reducing the target size the video re-encode happens as expected. I would think that a video re-encode is always needed (regardless of the input and target size) if it's a 3D-conversion to SBS (or any other 3D-format)?

My original post was on 5/19. Release 44.09 shows as coming out 2 days later on 5/21.

And sorry. I did notice your reference to 44.09 (earlier), but then forgot about it. At the tme, you didn't indicate what the changes were in 44.09, and so I had no reason to believe it would solve my problem. And the change log didn't seem to indicate any significant changes that might affect the problem I was having, except perhaps the new version of H264. And then later, when I noticed the issue was opencl.ddl, it didn't seem a change to H264 would have any impact.

Then later, I saw 44.09 on Videohelp.com, and figured it was worth a try. Particularly since by then, you knew my problem was opencl.dll and reiterated your recomendation for 44.09.

In any case 44.09 is working fine...for a number of titles I've tried.

Question is...since opencl.dll seems to serve to enable multi-threading of background tasks (for both CPU, and optionally the GPU), why don't you need to use that anymore. Did H264 change so much that it's not needed anymore? And if so, why was it still included with 44.09.

Thanks again for your help, and sorry to be such a nuisance.

Steve There was a bug in the older version of X264 that made it fail on systems that didn't have opencl as a video capability (even when that capability wasn't being used). The opencl.dll file was a dummy stub that was created for no other purpose than to keep X264 from failing. The newer version of X264 was corrected -- so the dummy file "opencl.dll" is no longer needed.

[soneca]

Jdobbs,

It would be possible to include a depth control for subtitles in 3D?
In the title "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" subtitles were "stuck" in the picture, deep, hurting a little reading.
I'll do some more tests, apparently subtitle depth may vary depending on the movie.

Surely, BD-RB does not change the depth but it seems that the result varies slightly depending on the source.

[colinhunt]

Note that some 3D Blu-rays will have (if they don't already) dynamic 3D subtitles, i.e. ones that move in X and Z axis according to the depth and convergence of the scene.

Mmmm, I haven't had two computers networked to each other for some time. Local ISO mounting, I don't believe I've ever had a problem. Over a network though? Wish I had a secondary PC powerful enough to make the attempt :( Part time work sucks...

[jdobbs]

The problem is that there are too many variables -- and almost all of them are outside of BD-RB. The bottom line: if it were truly mounted and working correctly, BD-RB wouldn't be able to tell the difference -- and it would work exactly the same either way. The fact that it works when mounted locally tells me the issue is outside of BD-RB and falls somewhere in the network abstraction.

I don't recall having many network issues on XP. Windows 7 seems to have issues maintaining an indefinite connection. It's as though it needs to refresh for certain processes. Thereby causing an issue. I burned discs over the network on XP, I'd never trust it with '7', and I love 7. Just my own observations. Really haven't done much networking with 7 though. THere is likely something I overlooked.

I'm sure I will play with it more down the road. Just gotta win the lottery or something LOL!!! Nah, I should go full time within the year. Then I'll be VERY comfortable. I hope :S

hello jdobbs
one question
http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings
for codec h264 Values available: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo.

with that command, you activate "placebo"?

ENCODE_QUALITY=4 is very slow (ultra high quality)

if so it could activate the option "placebo" in the next version of bdrebuilder?thks

[soneca]

ENCODE_QUALITY=4 = preset slower
Placebo = waste of time and energy for nothing.

[jdobbs]

ENCODE_QUALITY=4 = preset slower
Placebo = waste of time and energy for nothing.Yep. That pretty much describes the benefits of "placebo".

[omegaman7]

I think it's pretty funny seeing people use 6 pass on some DVD encodes. Pretty pointless really...

[lauguru]

ENCODE_QUALITY=4 {Ultra High Quality (Extremely Slow)} for me, is the best for convert bd50 to bd25, many people do not distinguish between the original source and the converted! (45gb to 23,2gb)
course it takes time!, but this method works done after many, is the best possible quality. Also you have to see energy consumption, with the quality? If what is, is to get the best quality, if you have a powerful computer, in 3 or 4 hours you have the job done. Just wondering as trigger mode bdrebuilder placebo, to test their results.
Thanks

[soneca]

I use "ENCODE_QUALITY = 4 whenever I have to encode a long movie or difficult compressibility to a DVD-5.
What I mean is that beyond the preset slower no change in image quality. I've done dozens of tests and can not and will not be able to distinguish differences between the results, unless I'm going blind.
I now only use the preset veryslow(16 ref frames) for example, if I wanted to encode at crf(no level restrictions) to save about 10% in file size while keeping the same quality. What I have not done a long time because of compatibility.

[AmigaFuture]

Being one of the few whom is able to discern Original Vs Rerendered (be careful between the word meanings Re-rendered, Transcoded, and Copy (1:1)) video. I realize time is constant (cannot be saved) I still wouldn't use placebo as it's only good for body and thought health. For video, good for those wanting to experience...as anything is.

@ JDobbs

Merely curious...have you looked at my "Live Free or Die Hard" post about the extras? Thanks.

[colinhunt]

Hmm. My encoding rig has started to throw up BSODs after 0.44.09 was released. Nobody else has reported such issues on this thread, so I guess the rig got a bit damaged a while back when its PSU literally exploded. It runs fine on low CPU usage but doesn't like BD-RB anymore :/

[omegaman7]

Wow! What brand was that Power supply? Totally opinion, but the power supply is arguably the most important component you DON'T wanna be cheap with ;) I've heard some horror stories of power supplies taking literally every piece of hardware with it, when it popped. I would die if my 13+ Terabytes were suddenly gone :S Which reminds me I need more redundancies LOL!

[RobertM]

My encoding rig has started to throw up BSODs after 0.44.09 was released.

I'm running 44.09. Last night I set an encode running and woke up to a BSOD. Happened on Pass2. I started the job up again and it completed without any fuss. It's the first BSOD in a long while, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's related to BD-RB; it's been hot here, so it could be temp related.

[gonca]

My encoding rig has started to throw up BSODs after 0.44.09

No BSOD on 44.09 here, but temps slightly higher because of warm weather. Perhaps its time to take the dust bunnies for a walk outside. :D

[jdobbs]

It's the first BSOD in a long while, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's related to BD-RB; it's been hot here, so it could be temp related.If it completed the next day -- then the problem couldn't have been BD-RB, unless you possibly changed some settings. One thing you can count on with software -- that given the same settings, input, and output, it will act exactly the same every time it runs.

[jdobbs]

No BSOD on 44.09 here, but temps slightly higher because of warm weather. Perhaps its time to take the dust bunnies for a walk outside. :DYeah, I often monitor my temps when running jobs -- and I'm seeing them higher since spring began. I also had to go in and do some dust cleanup on my radiator not too long ago. I start to get these "crash" reports every year about this time.

[had-z]

Hi Jdobbs first of all many many thanks for the time invested in this software, in the last months i didn't do BD rebuilds because i don't have blank media...
sorry for the off-topic, but here is the only topic where someone can post an answer to my question, i bought on ebay a 50 pack of sony blanks BD, so here is the question? whats means this statement: "Capacity: 25GB / Speed: 1-4X Made for VIDEO and 3D works", someone already developed a software to burn BD-R 3D on 25 gb blanks? or is this related to use with standalone recorders?

Hope someone have a clue about this, again sorry for the off-topic.

[jdobbs]

@had-z

No idea. There is no physical difference between discs that hold data, video, or 3D. Sounds like marketing hype to me.

[colinhunt]

Yeah, I often monitor my temps when running jobs -- and I'm seeing them higher since spring began. I also had to go in and do some dust cleanup on my radiator not too long ago. I start to get these "crash" reports every year about this time.
Well, my BSODs are not caused by overheating, of that I'm 100% certain by monitoring mobo and CPU temps during encoding. But I'm certainly willing to blame damaged hardware.

[colinhunt]

I had an encoding orgy last night, sparked by learning of ENCODE_QUALITY=4. (Better late than never, right?) Ran three full backups at the highest quality and was surprised to see that even the slowest setting isn't really slow: all three rigs managed 10+ fps in pass two.

One of the three encodes turned out a bit odd. Here's the log:

The odd bit is that output is way undersized. While the other two encodes came within 500MB of a full BD-R, this one came out at 16GB (17 215 345 624 bytes) only. I'm aware this might have something to do with using a custom target size and it's therefore my own fault... but all three encodes were set for the same 24450MB target, and the other two came out perfect. I just don't see the logic behind these results.

[Glarioo]

I get this error: ERROR in attempt to mux (MP4BOX). Run inspect and everything's ok. Target size was 650 MB.
I also get this message: MP4Box doesn't work anymore.

Hmm. My encoding rig has started to throw up BSODs after 0.44.09 was released. Nobody else has reported such issues on this thread, so I guess the rig got a bit damaged a while back when its PSU literally exploded. It runs fine on low CPU usage but doesn't like BD-RB anymore :/
Exploded? Literally? as in parts and pieces flew everywhere? Yeah, I'd be worried about other pieces getting damaged.

What did you replace the PSU that exploded with? i.e. what brand/wattage? I'm asking because there is a possibility that the new PSU isn't as strong or efficient as the one that was replaced. Maybe the load of video encoding is stressing the new PSU too much?

I know being heat related was suggested. Here in Chester County, PA (just west of Philly), we went from highs mostly in the upper 60's to low 70's (NO AC running), to the upper 80's and 90 the past few days. So if your AC wasn't running and keeping the house down to the same temps, over heating is a possibility.

Unfortunately I don't speak German (Dutch maybe?). Anyway, can you translate what the MP4BOX error message says?

[Ch3vr0n]

That's not german it's dutch. It sais the following

MP4Box no longer working

A problem has occurred that cause MP4Box to stop functioning correctly. The program will be closed and a notification will be shown when a solution becomes available.

That's all it sais.

dUtch is far from dEUtSch :p

Exploded? Literally? as in parts and pieces flew everywhere?
A huge bang, a flash of light and I discovered metallic debris inside and outside the PSU. I can still smell the nasty stench whenever I walk past the rig. So yeah, one could say it exploded :) It also wrecked a UPS unit and blew a fuse in the board where all the house's fuses are installed. I don't actually know what that thing is called in English..

What did you replace the PSU that exploded with?
One that is 200 watts more powerful, way more expensive and a much, much better brand.

So if your AC wasn't running and keeping the house down to the same temps, over heating is a possibility.
The rig is running 20 degrees cooler now than it did when BSODs were not a problem.

Rated wattage is trivial. There are 600W PSU's more powerful than some 800W PSU's. A lot of variables to consider here.

Bit of a fanboy comment, but I currently trust PC power and cooling, Corsair, and Seasonic. A much larger list to stay away from LOL! I'm currently employing a Corsair. Zero hiccups.

[colinhunt]

The odd bit is that output is way undersized. While the other two encodes came within 500MB of a full BD-R, this one came out at 16GB (17 215 345 624 bytes) only. I'm aware this might have something to do with using a custom target size and it's therefore my own fault... but all three encodes were set for the same 24450MB target, and the other two came out perfect. I just don't see the logic behind these results.
This undersized output was not caused by a custom target size, but by a genuine bug, it seems! On the backup, the main feature has a running time of 85 minutes. On the original disc, main feature is 161 minutes.

So, for some reason BD-RB figured 85 minutes was enough. There's no mention of anomalies in the log, however. Except... main feature is 00005.m2ts which consists of a single video track, two DTS-HD MA tracks and a single subtitle track - and it's 29.7GB. And yet the log reads:

- [02:34:04] Processing: VID_00005 (2 of 12)
- [02:34:04] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00005]
- [03:28:48] Reencoding video [VID_00005]
- [03:28:49] Keeping original video (no reencode)
- [03:28:49] Processing audio tracks
- Track 4353 (eng): Keeping original audio
- [03:28:49] Multiplexing M2TS

There are 21 other m2ts files in the directory, for a total of 1.25GB.

To debug a bit, I'm re-ripping this for another go. This time I'll be encoding from a BD directory structure instead of a mounted ISO.

Trying to rebuild The Last Stand and am getting the error "Target is too small to continue." Have tried direct from original disc and from rip. Have tried different target drives that have 87GB and 112GB free space respectively. Have tried BD9 and BD25 output sizes and still receive the error. Any ideas? Thanks for any help/suggestions...

I've found what looks to be a bug. Submitted for you to check.
Picture 1 BD-RB shows it recognizes the 2nd DTS for the PiP. Picture 2, the processing doesn't include the 2nd DTS when it goes on to the rest of the process. Picture 3, are the list of files. No blank files, the Secondary DTS doesn't get extracted.

In addition, few questions :

- why using a such old mp4box version ?
- which command line is used to create mp4 file ?
- why using faac as audio encoder ? Are you insane ?
- why target size is selected in the menu whereas I selected CRF value ?
- Is there a way to change the x264 preset ?
- Why not putting a warning or something else when we select PGS streams as input and choose MP4 as output ? it's not supported...

[jdobbs]

I've found what looks to be a bug. Submitted for you to check.
Picture 1 BD-RB shows it recognizes the 2nd DTS for the PiP. Picture 2, the processing doesn't include the 2nd DTS when it goes on to the rest of the process. Picture 3, are the list of files. No blank files, the Secondary DTS doesn't get extracted. I'm confused. Picture two shows the secondary (PiP audio) being processed, and even shows where it was remuxed. The list of files wouldn't show the secondary -- because it isn't extracted (TSMUXER can't handle DTS Express), BD-RB pulls that one directly from the origin and inserts it into the output.

[jdobbs]

When I use MP4 as alternative output + MP4_CHAPTERS=1 switch in hiddenopts.txt file, I got no chapters in my output I'll take a look at the chaptering on MP4 output. HIDDENOPTS.TXT is just documentation. If you want to actually use the settings documented you have to them to the config file. Not sure if that's what you did. But -- MP4_CHAPTERS defaults to 1 anyway, so the only time your really need to add it is to turn it off.
- why using a such old mp4box version ?It's not that old, and I've had a lot of luck with that version. But I'll do some testing with the newest version.
- which command line is used to create mp4 file ?Not sure what you're asking. An MP4Box command line is constructed and executed at runtime.
- why using faac as audio encoder ? Are you insane ?Yes, I'm insane, but it is unrelated to FFAC. FAAC is the only AAC encoder I know of that is open source and is free. There are others that may be better (Nero?) -- but I can't distribute them. Frankly I think FAAC is good quality so I don't understand the concern. But it would be easy enough to add support for another encoder -- as long as I don't get into copyright/distribution issues etc.
- why target size is selected in the menu whereas I selected CRF value ?Again, I'm not sure what you're asking. If you are selecting CRF from the SETTINGS menu -- it is because BD-RB has added in an algorithm that samples the source and predicts the CRF need to meet the target. If you are talking about output to ALTERNATE output -- there really is no target and the CRF value determines the size.
- Is there a way to change the x264 preset ?Yes, from the settings menu. But BD-RB keeps control of this because some presets can violate BD standards.
- Why not putting a warning or something else when we select PGS streams as input and choose MP4 as output ? it's not supported...ALTERNATE output follows a different set of rules than normal BD backup settings. The settings are driven by the ALTERNATE.TXT file's presets. I guess I could deselect the subtitles when the mode is changed to MP4 output.

[AmigaFuture]

I'm confused. Picture two shows the secondary (PiP audio) being processed, and even shows where it was remuxed. The list of files wouldn't show the secondary -- because it isn't extracted (TSMUXER can't handle DTS Express), BD-RB pulls that one directly from the origin and inserts it into the output.

Image 1 is showing the original Blu-ray file imported.
Image 2 is showing what's not there after the process.

[jdobbs]

Well I can't speak for MKVMERGE GUI or how it works, but I do PiP backups with DTS Express all the time and the audio always there when I watch it back. But I'll take a look at it again. I especially want to look at it with MKVMERGE GUI to see if it sees it. As you may know, there are some issues on certain players (like the Sony S360) with the remuxed DTS Express playback. It could be the whatever that is (I've been looking for it for a long time) may somehow be related to MKVMERGE not seeing it.

[Kurtnoise]

I'll take a look at the chaptering on MP4 output. HIDDENOPTS.TXT is just documentation. If you want to actually use the settings documented you have to them to the config file. Not sure if that's what you did. But -- MP4_CHAPTERS defaults to 1 anyway, so the only time your really need to add it is to turn it off.
Ok, I didn't know that.

It's not that old, and I've had a lot of luck with that version. But I'll do some testing with the newest version.
I asked this because there were some issues with ++4Go avc streams and see below.

Not sure what you're asking. An MP4Box command line is constructed and executed at runtime.
I'm asking this because Ipod/Ipad need some tunings in the command line. As far I can see, you didn't use them...

Yes, I'm insane, but it is unrelated to FFAC. FAAC is the only AAC encoder I know of that is open source and is free.
What's the matter between open source and free tools ? I don't get your point...tsmuxer is not open source and you use it. Besides, you're violating the faac copyright using this sort of distribution. Faac belongs to Nero AG since several years.

There are some others aac encoder that meets your requirements : fdk-aac and qaac.

Frankly I think FAAC is good quality so I don't understand the concern.
Nope, the quality is poor comparing to the others.

But it would be easy enough to add support for another encoder -- as long as I don't get into copyright/distribution issues etc.
That would be great...:cool:

Again, I'm not sure what you're asking. If you are selecting CRF from the SETTINGS menu -- it is because BD-RB has added in an algorithm that samples the source and predicts the CRF need to meet the target. If you are talking about output to ALTERNATE output -- there really is no target and the CRF value determines the size.
Yes, from the settings menu.

maybe with a picture it's more understandable :

http://uppix.net/2/6/3/0dc37d394f80309526d9898f228a2.png

So, my question was : why the target size is still selected in the menu whereas I choose a CRF value for alternative output...my goal is to have a certain output quality not a target file size.

[Nico8583]

While doing a SBS-backup of Wreck it Ralph 3D I've run into a small problem:

Apparently the re-encoding of the video is skipped if the input size is smaller than the target. In my case I had set the target as BD-25 and BDR reported the input size of 21.17 GB. After reducing the target size the video re-encode happens as expected. I would think that a video re-encode is always needed (regardless of the input and target size) if it's a 3D-conversion to SBS (or any other 3D-format)?

I've the same problem with Prometheus 3D FR version :o
With FORCE_ENCODE=1 option, it seems to work.
Is it possible to change resize filter ? Lanczos instead of Bilinear ? Thanks !

[jdobbs]

What's the matter between open source and free tools ? I don't get your point...tsmuxer is not open source and you use it. Besides, you're violating the faac copyright using this sort of distribution. Faac belongs to Nero AG since several years.

There are some others aac encoder that meets your requirements : fdk-aac and qaac.While it is copyrighted, TSMUXER is free and can be freely distributed, while Nero's AAC Encoder's End User Agreement says this:This License does not provide any rights to reproduce and/or distribute this software package in whole or in any part.the TSMUXER license says this:You may distribute exact copies of the Software to anyone. I'm pretty sure qaac requires Quicktime, , but I'll check out fdk-aac.

And... you should take a few minutes to read the FAAC and GNU agreement (which is, by the way, included in the BD-RB package -- as required) and you'd see you are incorrect:This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either
version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.Nope, the quality is poor comparing to the others. I disagree.
I'm asking this because Ipod/Ipad need some tunings in the command line. As far I can see, you didn't use them... The iPod/iPad settings are set properly. Use them and you'll see they work. I personally have used the correct settings on the iPod Video, iPod Touch, iPhone 4s, and iPad.

[Kurtnoise]

I'm pretty sure qaac requires Quicktime
From the official website (https://sites.google.com/site/qaacpage/) :
Since 1.00, qaac directly uses CoreAudioToolbox.dll. Therefore, QuickTime installation is no more required. However, Apple Application Support is required.

Apple Application Support is included in recent Apple products such as iTunes, QuickTime, or Safari. Therefore, you can install it via installation of one of these products. However, Apple Application Support itself is actually independently packaged as AppleApplicationSupport.msi. If you want, you can extract it from installer exe file using 7-zip archiver, and directly run AppleApplicationSupport.msi. This way, you can install only necessary modules to run qaac. No iTunes, QuickTime, or Safari needed.

You need recent Apple Application Support package (QuickTime >= 7.7.1, or iTunes >= 10.5). With older version, at least AAC-HE encoder is not usable, and there might be some other problems. Of course, the latest version is desirable.


And... you should take a few minutes to read the FAAC and GNU agreement (which is, by the way, included in the BD-RB package -- as required) and you'd see you are incorrect:
You are outdated...Check this log (http://faac.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/faac/faac/libfaac/tns.c?r1=1.8&r2=1.9).

And from wikipedia :
FAAC contains code based on the ISO MPEG-4 reference code, whose license is not compatible with the LGPL license. Only the FAAC changes to this ISO MPEG-4 reference code are licensed under the LGPL license.

I disagree.
That's your opinion but you should know that most AAC blind tests show that this encoder is beaten by the others.

The iPod/iPad settings are set properly. Use them and you'll see they work. I personally have used the correct settings on the iPod Video, iPod Touch, iPhone 4s, and iPad.
You have tested only with Video/Audio streams but did you test also with subtitles and/or chapters ? Doesn't seem so...

[jdobbs]

@Kurtnoise

How about we let me make the decisions about my software, and you make the decisions about yours. This is a bug reporting thread, not an opportunity for folks to express "how they'd do it" or a debating club... so let's get back on topic. As I said, I will look at the MP4 chaptering. MP4 subtitles aren't likely to change, since BD-RB uses a BD as its source, and the only subtitles typically available are PGS -- and most OCR conversion methods require too much manual interaction.

[Barcoed]

Hi,

I'm new to this forum but have been using BDRebuilder for a while now with complete success (Fab product - when will it be available to buy?)
Recently I noticed (movie only) the right-click “Turn on” is no longer an option to force subtitles. Has it been removed?
The option is also not available when importing several MKV files (each containing subs).

[jdobbs]

@Kurtnoise

Ok, I now have the chapter markers working in MP4 output that is aimed at iPod/iPhone/iPad targets. As I'm sure you know that required an update of MP4BOX because it wasn't supported in the version I was using (v0.4.5). The capability will be available in the next release of BD-RB.

[Barcoed]

It is available, but only in Movie-Only mode (that's the way it has always been).

I read the earlier post where you said it’s only available in movie only mode, which is why I specifically said “(movie only)” in my post. To reiterate with (I hope) total clarity:
When attempting a movie only backup I am no longer able to right-click and choose “Turn on” to force subtitles. Single right click fails to cause the “Turn on” message to appear on screen (as it once did).
Sadly I can’t remember the version when it last worked. I’m currently using the latest version. The prerequisite s/w (Haali, FFDShow etc.) is unchanged from when the option was there.

[staina]

Blu-ray movie converted in BD Rebuilder at fast rewinding forward in bottoms part movie sometimes displays stripes in green colour eventually in varicoloured stripes extraneous to now displayed parts movie.

Is that a normal effect if it doesn't what with by?

How Shall I set BD Rebuilder, to these stripes not displayed?

sounds like a corrupt source. That's not a normal effect. You'll need to provide the BDRB log and inspect.exe results to possibly determine your problem

I just tested it, and I can right-click on the subtitle and select to turn it on, no problem.

You are absolutely correct. I retested last night. I think what I must have done is used an ISO of a previously processed movie only backup and forgetting I had “full copy” selected because it looked like movie only as that was all that was available; thus it appeared not to be working. Oops. :o

- Which leads me to ask for a feature request. Could the option be offered for full backup? The reason I ask is that recently I imported a number of MKV episodes of a series, each containing subtitles. There is no menu (actually there is, a vestigial one with a starry background – goodness knows where that came from) and each episode follows on from the next when played (or each title can be manually picked). I have to use “full backup” in order to retain the multiple title imports, I would like to force subtitles on some as there is a modicum of foreign language (which is subtitled) during those episodes.

A movie-only backup can do it only because the authoring is done by the backup program and is completely within its control.

I'm getting info together to share. I did not abort the operation, BD-RB 44.09 did. Thanks.BD-RB first tries to remux from the extracted source (usually a .264 file) using TSMUXER. If that fails, it then creates a new MKV with specific settings, and tries to remux directly from that. If it fails the second time -- it almost always means the source is corrupt. I'll do some testing, though.

[AmigaFuture]

The Source was created with BD-RB. However, I'm testing with "Finding Nemo" and for some reason that MKV that was created has a corruption that MKMerge has detected. I'm testing more to figure what happened and I'm...wondering...if the old firmware for my USB 3 board adapter may have influenced it. I've since, updated the USB 3 driver and firmware.

Update...it isn't related to USB 3 firmware or driver. I think I found it...checking...

Update 2: I'll resume searching for the "Finding Nemo" corruption...but that's on "hold" while I'm checking some other MKVs. What I've noticed is: I added SRT Subtitles to many of my movies after being processed with BD-RB (Since no Conversion of SUP to SRT happens in auto...and I don't expect it..haha!) My Sharp HD TV does recognize SUP files as being there but won't display them. My LG BD Player doesn't recognize SUP at all, so I'm adding SRT using MKVMerge GUI to add them. Which both the TV and LG BD Player do recognize (since..standard). Now the the point.. In the Import process, of an MKV (SRT added) is where I'm noticing the 2nd..MKVMerge has to happen. It's failing the preparation process if an SRT is in the MKV. Are you able to fix/change that?

If I use MKVMerge (GUI) to reprocess the MKV, after Unchecking SRT, BD-RB seems to be processing well. Still testing...

[setarip_old]

Hi! I'm testing with "Finding Nemo" and for some reason that MKV that was created has a corruption that MKMerge has detected.

I'm not familure with MakeMKV, however that's interesting. I've not noticed any flaws in A/V when watching my original (2 times) or my backups (Full Backup and Movie & Menus blanking extras) (several...with friends). Interesting to note, though, because though I haven't noticed it even in the extras doesn't mean it isn't there. I appreciate the note.

[colinhunt]

BSOD again last night, after several successful backups. I don't understand this.

[AmigaFuture]

@colinhunt

I get your frustration. Did you remove all "metallic debris" from fans, RAM, chips? Check everything really well from an "explosion" like that. I mean, use a magnifying glass! If you're still using the same Motherboard and RAM.. Get the idea? :-)
BSOD is something to Notice; it's not BD-RB! Attention to the Blue message. It's not just "random characters". Nothing is random.

[dt5]

When I choose in the setup Chinese (chi) for audio and subtitles to keep then this does not work.
Isn't that the correct language?

There may be different labels for Chinese. For example the Dutch language also has 2 identifiers. Nld and dut.

I did not use a magnifying glass, but I did an otherwise careful job cleaning everything up. I'm using the same components (with the exception of a brand new PSU, of course) as I can't afford to buy new ones...

So I'm a little tested and found out I'm as though problem evidently does not make BD Rebuilder, but TsMuxer. Problem featured in my threads above displays also at Blu-ray movies that the were to be trimming in TsMuxer without packing.

It is possible anyhow repair TsMuxer, to build in Blu-ray correctly? If Blu-ray built in TsMuxer yet process without compression only with remove some subtitles in DVDfab so result already this feature has not. Evidently some error at generation CLPI file.

Thank for nomenclature, help and pertinent correction problem in TsMuxer.

Thank for nomenclature, help and pertinent correction problem in TsMuxer. If you're talking about your earlier posts -- it is very unlikely that a picture flaw like you described could be caused by TSMUXER. It is much more likely that you have some "codec packs" or other software that is interfering with the decoding.

TSMuxer builds correctly. I've personally used it on thousands of builds. I can't speak to trimming -- as I never use it (and neither does BD-RB).

Doing Alt Movie only, MKV 1920x1080.... I converted a few movies without "auto crop black borders" set. The output files looked as expected, and appeared to have the black borders as part of the files. So I set the option for "auto crop" and encoded.

I did Star Trek 4 - The Voyage Home, its source M2TS was 1920x1080 with top and bottom black bars in the M2TS. Its output MKV was what I expected... 1920x818 with no black bars.

Then I did Star Trek 6 - The Undiscovered Country, when I look at the source main M2TS from the disc, its the same 1920x1080, and has black bars top and bottom only, so I expected the output MKV to be 1920 by something. Instead the output MKV was 1596x818, and the sides are definitely cropped off.

So does this sound like a bug and something I should post logs for? or is there an explanation for what happened?

@Mark_Venture
It's possible that the section sampled for cropping was dark on the left and right side fooling the software into assuming black bars. As far as cropping BD's, you might be saving less than 1% of the final size.

Would be difficult to implement a visual preview to confirm?
Dark movies are the most troublesome, dark scenes are detected as sidebars.

[omegaman7]

THe best option I can think of, would be to measure the black bars (and or video), and instruct rebuilder to crop that particular size. Because even making a calculation based on aspect ratio may not be spot on (Decimals). For example, you could tell rebuilder that the finished frame height should be 840Px high, thereby cutting 120 off the top, and 120 off the bottom. Seems like this would be the most error proof to me ;) But I'm certainly no coder.

[AmigaFuture]

A sampling like what AutoGK does for DVD's to AVI/DivX/XviD would be a good idea...? It samples small bits of the entire video to get the right cropping digits. How exactly, I'm not sure. I've never seen a bad crop with whatever method was used with it. That might also prove helpful for movies like, The Matrix... For what it's worth. :-)

Hi,

Having trouble with Wreck it Ralph, after several failed attempts - can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong ? and provide me some guidance as normally I have no problems

Thanks !

@amidlad

I'd recommend you uninstall/reinstall FFDSHOW, HAALI, and AVISYNTH. If you have any "codec packs" -- remove those first, FFDSHOW has all the CODECs anyone needs. Sometimes other software will impolitely intercept or interfere with the CODECs -- and not even inform you it is doing so. When all the reports say "ok" -- that's usually the issue.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent version of BD-RB (v0.44.14). Changes for this release:- Changed the hidden setting MKV_MUXSUPS so that
"ON" is now the default.
- Removed opencl.dll from the TOOLS folder, with
the latest release of X264 it is no longer
needed.
- Added a new resizing option, 720p-->1080p in
the SETUP dialog.
- Added two new hidden options "DOWNRESIZE" and
"UPRESIZE" enables you to choose an alternate
resizing algorithm to be used when video is
being made smaller or larger. See the file
HIDDENOPTS.TXT for details.
- Fixed an error in which encoding was not being
forced for 3D conversion, as it should, because
a source is already small enough.
- Corrected overall progress indicator for pass
two of 3D encoding.
- Fixed an issue in which PSEUDO sources may not
be forced to be reencoded when BD-25 output is
selected.
- Corrected an issue in which aspect ratio could
be incorrectly set on some imported sources
with odd height/width settings.
- Added code so that chaptering is now enabled
for iPhone/iPad output. These products do not
use standard MP4 chaptering.
- Disabled open GOPs when outputting to Level 4.1
supporting iPads, iPhones & iPods. This should
result in better seeking during playback.
- Added the ability to browse for and use the
Nero AAC encoder for ALTERNATE output in the
SETUP dialog -- for those who prefer it over
FAAC. The Nero encoder is not included in BD-RB
and must be installed separately.
- Corrected an anomaly that could result in zero
titles selected and a "Runtime Error 76" during
import of a DVD.
- Updated the included version of MP4BOX to the
latest revision (v0.5.0)
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

about that neroaacenc audio coder. You may be able to include it. Nero is offering the codec themselves for free. http://www.nero.com/enu/company/about-nero/nero-aac-codec.php. They only need an email to download it (and don't even check if its a real one, the download link appears and download starts after entering one. It's not mailed. I enter "none@ofyourbusiness.com" as always :p. Don't like giving such companies my mail ^^)

[montana72]

Thank you.

A doubt, not you could add some gauge of quality? I.e., when is not recommended to encode a blu ray 50 to one 25 because you will lose a lot of quality. Something to indicate that the result is not going to be all good than we would like.

And I am raising a question, always can put a blu ray 50 in one 25 and similar to the original quality? because if yes, do because the editors being a cost used blurays 50 higher?

[dt5]

can put a blu ray 50 in one 25 and similar to the original quality?

It is always up to you how you define 'similar'. So you have to decide for yourself.

Certainly, because the x264 is very efficient.
I think most of the time these titles comes a BD-50 has many extras, so a larger media to accommodate everything with the right quality.

I think most of the time these titles comes a BD-50 has many extras, so a larger media to accommodate everything with the right quality. I think BD-50 is overkill for almost every authored BD -- but it makes it expensive/difficult to copy, and that's the real goal. There may be some exceptions that hold huge numbers of titles (like on a series disc) -- but they are few and far between.

[soneca]

Jdobbs, as the depth control for subtitles in 3D, arrived to do some testing?

[jdobbs]

Jdobbs, as the depth control for subtitles in 3D, arrived to do some testing? I did some testing, and frankly I couldn't find a disc in which the 3D subtitles didn't look fine, so I didn't give it a high priority. It's still on my list of improvements, though, and I'll get it in the next release.

[soneca]

The priority is not really high but it would be nice to have some control over the depth of the subtitles. :thanks:

Hi, I just wanted to ask a quick question about the alternate movie encoding. I doubt it's a bug per se, but I wanted to be sure, and I want to understand why it's doing what it's doing. I tried using the new AAC tie-in you added for the Nero AAC encoder. I selected the "MP4 Container, 1920x1080, Auto-AAC" selection. It works fine, but the file it creates is 300MB larger than if I select "MKV Container, 1920x1080, 640Kbps DD5.1" as the choice.

I specified a 2-pass target size of 2500MB. The source is a 52 min episode of Game of Thrones that is about 15GB in size. When I look at the finished files, the AAC/MP4 is 2,558,722,703 bytes while the DD5.1/MKV is 2,247,519,222 bytes.

Now, my confusion comes from thinking that the 640Kbps audio bit rate of the DD5.1 would end up making a larger file than the 443Kbps AAC rate, not smaller, assuming the video would be encoded the same for both. (I know there is a slight difference in size from the difference in MKV vs MP4 container, but I didn't think it was that large.) And when I look at media information for the files, the bit rates reported for the video are different. Is this normal behavior? All six episodes I've encoded with the DD5.1/MKV combo have fallen short of the 2500MB target by 300-400MB or so, but the AAC one seems to hit it on the head. Is BD-RB assuming that the AAC rate will take up less space and therefore it chooses a higher video encoding rate thus getting closer to the target of 2500MB than it does with the DD5.1 rate?

Thanks.

Hi,

works BD Rebuilder with 3D content?
I am asking because of the following:

I have a Blu-Ray with mixed content. Most of the stuff on it is 2D and there are three 3D trailers on it. Now the disc has the size from about 25GB too big to burn it onto BD-25.
I wanted to reencode the disc and BD Rebuilder tells me that the disc is 19.1GB and does not reencode it. So I examined the disc and found a folder .\BDMV\STREAM\SSIF where the missing GBs are. All .ssif files which are not taken into account from BD Rebuilder

All .ssif files which are not taken into account from BD RebuilderOnly for a movie-only backup, and only in half SBS, half over/under, or anaglyph. There are several technical reasons why a BD 3D can't be backup up -- the greatest of which is the fact that there is no burning software that supports it.

Thanks.BD-RB uses 448Kbs for AAC multi-channel encoding with Auto-AAC. But it will still try to hit the target you have specifed. So the video rate will be adjusted slightly higher in order to hit your selected output size. The DD5.1 output appears to have undersized a bit.

Which version of DirectShowMVCSource.dll do you use ? Or from which package do you get this (MVC Player, BD3D2MK3D... ? Thanks !

[jdobbs]

Is there more than one? I use the one from BD3D2MK3D.

[Ch3vr0n]

there's one from stereoplayer too.

[jdobbs]

there's one from stereoplayer too. I just checked and the one from BD3D2MK3D is identical to the one from MVC Player (at least the version I have). I'm not familiar with a package called StereoPlayer -- but I did purchase StereoscopicPlayer, which has an exe called stereoplayer.exe, which I'm guessing is what you mean -- and that package doesn't include DirectshowMVCSource.dll. I've only seen one version of that DLL.

[Edit] I iust downloaded the latest version of MVC Player just to check -- and the DLL in that one is identical as well.

[Nico8583]

At a moment, I believe DLL was in a different version and version from one package didn't work correctly. But I'm not sure, so thanks :)

It encoded for approximately 10 minutes. It might be a bad rip. Try re-ripping.

[AmigaFuture]

@wakko709

I'm curious as to why you keep repeating the stats from Inspect for each failed encode? When a fail happens it's displays in the log already. When multiple fails, check system heat, cleaning your Optical Drive, check the cables, clean the disk, or perhaps a new Optical drive is needed.

[setarip_old]

@wakko709

I'd speculate that your system is overheating (perhaps due to accumulated dust bunnies and other detritus)...

[AmigaFuture]

Hello JDobbs,

Coming back to Die Hard 4: I've chosen to check it again. I used Full Backup except the Warnings are there and I cannot uncheck them because they don't show in the list. The extra "Black Hat Intercept Game" (extra) is also there, fully functional, which I want.

If I have BD-RB (now 44.14) set to use Movies & Menus (Auto-Blanking Extras) then Warnings are there to be blanked. I also uncheck everything to do with the "Black Hat Intercept" game, so all parts won't be blanked. When I burn this project to a RW disk, my LG Player, when selecting the Instructions from the "Black Hat" menu, only display "Level 4 Instructions" (very quick flash past) which is the very end of the video. The Full Backup mode allows to see the Level 1 instructions and allows stepping though to 2, 3 and 4...then to the main menu of the "game". So, something it being "lost" or overwritten...or ignored in the Movies and Menus process. It seems??

I've also noticed "00049.m2ts" which is where the video "Instructions" are, is a different size from the original. 1.20MB processed with Movie & Menus. 1.25MB for the original. I'm guessing some padding stuff or instructions for BD??

I haven't included any logs because all looks "normal". If you would like anything more, let me know...as per usual. Thanks.

i have 2 languages selected.
then bd rebuilder states: input size: 27,97GB (i want to resize to BD25)
then i deselect one language, it is again 27,97.
is there any possibility to check if it fits on a BD25 w/o reencoding video, before it starts to reencode?
so i want to check before if 2 languages fits into BD25 or only one, or if it has to be reencoded anyway.

So what you're asking for, is a real time estimate of output size. I can see how that would be helpful. This is what's called a request. You're requesting a feature in the program. There is a forum/thread for just that :) I don't mean to bust your chops, just saying ;)

[longtom]

ok, but shouldn't be the input size different between one and 2 languages, or are ALL languages included in the input size?
(Main movie only output!)

[gonca]

@longtom
In your case input size is the size of your movie, Movie Only. To accomplish what you want, BD-RB would have to demux every stream in the movie, add up the sizes for your selections and overhead. If you didn't like the new size and changed something it might want to start again, as the job changed.
If you really want to what you plan just set an oversized custom target and FORCE_NOENCODE=1 in your config file. This will give you the actual size of your settings and shouldn't take too much time.

[longtom]

Thanks, so'll start the process and see if bdrb is reencoding with 2 languages.

[jdobbs]

ok, but shouldn't be the input size different between one and 2 languages, or are ALL languages included in the input size?
(Main movie only output!) The input size is the size of the disc before processing. Why would that change when you are modifying your output selections?

[longtom]

Ok, so it is the full disc size? I thought it is only the size of the selected video and audio tracks.

[lauguru]

hello

as could be done, that bdrebuilder convert mpeg2 to mpeg4 files, without having to dial BD50 to BD25, BD50 eg to BD50 (force encoding). Many movies come in and want to convert mpeg2 to mpeg4.

I'm also checking that import dvd function, does not take the whole structure, and the same extras missing quoted above ... it could force the process mpeg2 to mpeg4, without having to choose dvd9 to dvd5 and dvd9 to dvd9 maintain

I tried to put FORCE_ENCODE = 1 but I can not

[jdobbs]

Ok, so it is the full disc size? I thought it is only the size of the selected video and audio tracks.It's the full size of the source -- for the mode. So Movie-Only would be different than Full-Backup.

as could be done, that bdrebuilder convert mpeg2 to mpeg4 files, without having to dial BD50 to BD25, BD50 eg to BD50 (force encoding). Many movies come in and want to convert mpeg2 to mpeg4.

I'm also checking that import dvd function, does not take the whole structure, and the same extras missing quoted above ... it could force the process mpeg2 to mpeg4, without having to choose dvd9 to dvd5 and dvd9 to dvd9 maintain

I tried to put FORCE_ENCODE = 1 but I can notBD-RB imports all DVD titles that meet the minimum size. The default is 15 minutes, but you can change it with DVD_IMPORT_THRESHOLD. FORCE_ENCODE will definitely reencode -- but it must do so when you actually run the job, not during import. Importing creates a pseudo-BD structure that is not necessarily compliant. That pseudo-BD structure is your SOURCE after import. You have to then run the job (as if it is a typical backup).

[lauguru]

DVD_IMPORT_THRESHOLD = 1 is to display all the videos with 1 minute on the structure, correct?

[jdobbs]

DVD_IMPORT_THRESHOLD = 1 is to display all the videos with 1 minute on the structure, correct?You have to add it to [OPTIONS] area of the config file without the spaces, like this:

DVD_IMPORT_THRESHOLD=1

With that setting, any title that is at least 1 minute long will be included in the DVD import. This setting is documented in the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file. Just a warning, with a threshold set that low you're likely to get some "junk" like previews and warnings included in your import. It varies from disc to disc.

thanks Jdobbs ;)

indeed, it would be possible to add a command to convert (dvd 25fps) to 23,976, to 24 and vice versa, to well, take advantage of the audio and subtitles and more easily mounts to make. ???

[omegaman7]

Importing creates a pseudo-BD structure that is not necessarily compliant.

Love that feature by the way. I've lost count, how many mkv/mp4 files I've repaired. The blu-ray player can be a bit picky about MKV/MP4 files. But it always seems to play the Pseudo files built by BD-RB :)

[AmigaFuture]

@ omegaman7

As much as I Love BD-RB, you should try MKVToolNix. Building a Pseudo file structure isn't always needed from an already created MKV/MP4(V). Unless you need MPX.... ;-)

[omegaman7]

I'll look into it. Thanks Amiga ;)

[jdobbs]

I'll look into it. Thanks Amiga ;) If an MKV has trouble playing, most of the time it is because it was created with an incompatible track compression. You can fix that by using MKVMERGE:

mkvmerge.exe -o x:\destpath\outfile.mkv --compression -1:none x:\srcpath\infile.mkv

even better:

mkvmerge.exe --engage no_cue_duration --engage no_cue_relative_position -o x:\destpath\outfile.mkv --compression -1:none x:\srcpath\infile.mkv

mkvmerge.exe is included in the BD-RB tools folder.

[omegaman7]

Appreciate the input. THat seems pretty straightforward.

[spotswood]

Received the attached error when BDRB starts extracting the main movie streams. This particular disc has TrueHD tracks. The error doesn't specify which track is in error but the error comes up 3 times, so I'm assuming it's referencing the TrueHD tracks. My questions is, should I answer Yes or No from the options given? Or is this a bug and the warning is in error? Thanks for your help...

[jdobbs]

@spotswood

That error message isn't coming from BD-RB. It is from DGIndexNV. Generally I think the PAT/PMT is correct -- but Neuron2 would be a better source of information. Note that you can open DGIndexNV.exe and set an automatic answer so that message doesn't appear.

See this link (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1617363&highlight=dgindexnv+pat%2Fpmt#post1617363) for a discussion. Note: As I mention above the newest versions of DGIndexNV allows you to automatically answer "Yes", "No", or "Ignore Stream" and suppress that message. You set it from the DGIndexNV GUI.

I just tested this on my system. Getting that message with TrueHD isn't happening, even if I enable the prompt. So I don't think it is "normal" to get it.

Shutdown does not seem to work.

But nothing happened.
In the event log there is no sign that the computer even tried to shutdown.

Shutdown works fine, use it all the time. Problem is probably on your end.

[jdobbs]

Windows 7 Ultimate - 64 bitThere are lots of settings in your system that could prevent shutdown. Something external is preventing it.

[dt5]

shutdown /s works.
I think that you use that command?

I have no idea what happened. I will try to verify it again.

Edit:
Now it worked also with BD_Rebuilder. Something happened (or not happened) last night.

Edit2:
Is there a way to perform a "shutdown /h"? (hibernate instead of shutting down)

Currently you can either shutdown completely, or put the system to sleep when "Shutdown" is selected. To put the system to sleep instead of performing a complete shutdown, see SHUTDOWN_SLEEP as documented in HIDDENOPTS.TXT.

You set it from the DGIndexNV GUI.OK, I'll give it a try. Does it even matter if I'm converting to BD9 AC3@640? What does x264 use if there's a mismatch? There's no error when trying another run with x264 instead of DGIndexNV...

I just tested this on my system. Getting that message with TrueHD isn't happening, even if I enable the prompt. So I don't think it is "normal" to get it.Did you try it on The Deep?

x264 encodes video not audio and DGDecNV decodes the streams, they don't do the same job

[jdobbs]

There's no error when trying another run with x264 instead of DGIndexNV.Right now you really don't even know for sure which PID is causing the mismatch... so assuming it is audio may be an error. Ether way, in BD-RB's processing X264 and DGIndexNV are only used for converting video. The audio is demuxed by TSMUXER, decoded by NicAudio (using AVISYNTH) and reencoded using AFTEN. So if it were audio, DGIndexNV's disposition wouldn't matter anyway.

I'd recommend just setting DGIndexNV to answer "Yes" automatically -- and don't worry about it.

[jdobbs]

The DGIndexNV mismatch error can only occur for audio. Great. That makes it easy.

[mrintegral]

@jdobbs

I've recently had some trouble to have BDRebuilder work because it always gave me an ExtractAudioSubs() 00058 1605 error (file already exists).
My system is a MacPro with Paralles installed running Windows8. Of course, I am working with network volumes as working directories, they are hfs formatted disk drives being accessed via IP network.
The error mentioned above occurs solely in movie only mode! When creating the working directory in the Parallels disk C: everything runs smoothly.
I guess the problem is the path name: string length, delimiter or something like this.
Although my problem is solved now, it might be easy for you to check on behavior with these network paths and eventually change it.
Thanks!

[jdobbs]

If it is downloaded from my links... it is very definitely a false positive. I wrote split.exe... and it is clean.

Sometimes I think they A/V packages are more trouble than they are worth.

Prosaic, eh? My compliments on the vocabulary.

[Ch3vr0n]

try removing the helper aps completely (including the install folders) and reinstalling them. Perhaps some other program took over.

[gonca]

@wakko709
I might have missed it but have you tried any of the previous suggestions?

[wakko709]

nope!

[gonca]

@wakko709
If you are not willing to try any suggestions to correct your problem, then why are you posting??

[omegaman7]

@wakko709

There's more than one way to interpret that response LOL! I guess I'm trying to assume that his post was non negative though. It would certainly not be logical to ask for help, and then refuse the opinions given. But, who ever said the human race is logical LOL!

[wakko709]

nope as in I did that and it didn't work!

[gonca]

@omegaman7
The question was --- have you tried any of the previous suggestions?
The answer was --- nope!

@wakko709
If you have cleaned the disk, re-ripped, reinstalled the helper apps, and your temps are ok, then look for any codec packs that might be interfering.

Gotta love text conversations. The door is wide open to misinterpretation. Please don't be insulted. I understand where you're coming from :p He shouldn't have been so vague, but my statement stands. I was simply interpreting his reaction as, "Not Yet, but I'm on it".

I've probably really misinterpreted, since I haven't read every post that's been made :S

Jdobbs, Have you tried to import physical DVD titles on the fly (Anydvd Running), and output to MP4 720 x 480 with playable results? Because I've ran multiple tests today, and I get serious stuttering. The Pseudo files play just fine though :S :confused:

I notice that you recently updated the MP4BOX version. Perhaps that's why, eh? I've been running with BD-RB 4409 til now. But surely the old one wasn't causing this for so long. I am still testing.
--------EDIT-----------
Wow, an MKV source to MP4 is encoding MUCH faster. So the Decoding/Frame serving: X264/LAVF may be the problem? Because when I encode from MPEG-2 sources(DVD), it goes 75 - 80% slower. I definitely won't be running DVD's very often LOL! Clearly HD streams are easier handled.

[wakko709]

sorry any ideas whats going on!

[wakko709]

i got it re-istalled haali splitter!

[gonca]

@wakko709
If you have uninstalled and reinstalled avisynth, haali and ffdshow and it still does this there must be a codec (pack) interfering. Make sure you uninstall all three helper apps and then reinstall them. If it doesn't work try x264/LAVF to decode to see if this works. The Hobbit movie should have no issues.

I definitely won't be running DVD's very often LOL! Clearly HD streams are easier handled. I'll run a couple of tests to see if the MP4 output. But I use 720x480 all the time for my iPhone. Normally, though, I copy the VIDEO_TS folder to my hard drive, though. I have done numerous MPEG-2 encodes in the last week -- I haven't noticed any slow encoding issues when doing it from hard drive. One thing you might try is setting the IMPORT folder to another drive (if you have one). By default the DVD is imported to the working folder, and you are then reading/writing to the same drive during encoding.

I'll let you know what I find.

[omegaman7]

The MKV to MP4 conversion succeeded without fault. I'm currently using Dvdshrink/Anydvd to rip the main title only, to VIDEO_TS. I thought about trying a single .VOB without separation, but I figured I'll try that next, if this doesn't succeed. Also, I recently added a directory for IMPORT. But I see that it still uses a tempimport folder.

A second encode from MKV to MP4 went well. So it's definitely isolated to a MPEG-2 source.

First encode went extremely well from VIDEO_TS. It only took 10 min. However, I'm unimpressed with the quality, so I'll run a 2 pass constrained size. It's looking like DVD Disc to Pseudo BD may be the problem somehow. Even though the Pseudo files play properly.

I think I may understand. I've seen Rebuilder reference optical drives for the source material on BD discs. I usually don't run the program from optical drive, but sometimes I do. Clearly with DVD is ill advised. Why it happens, is beyond me at the moment. But it seems likely the culprit.

[AmigaFuture]

Text messages by Phone or Fora are often misinterpreted because of lack of communication, as with wakko709 and gonca (only examples..Not flaming)...and Soooo many people "assume" negative rather than positive because of social conditioning and personal angst/drama (can be challenging to break free of..). I won't text by Phone with people who write in "txt speak" or won't use punctuation or capitalization with Phones because of that.

Anyway, I've noticed challenges with BD-RB and BD/DVDs from the Optical Drive also, usually program AnyDVD isn't running. I noticed it more earlier this month, June, as I was getting ready to visit another State, so I didn't keep any long or post. "Okay, Copy to HDD first!" However, this is a relaxed visit to another state..and DVDs are handy and I have my MacBook Pro...I'll do...some...testing.

[gonca]

@omegaman7
Did you make sure that IMPORT_FOLDER=p shows up in the options of the configuration (ini) file

[omegaman7]

Yes, I did :) But clearly, it still needs a temporary folder? Jdobbs?

[gonca]

On my system I just added IMPORT_FOLDER=D:\ and BD_RB creates the IMPORT folder on my D drive every time. I added it to the options and not the path section.

[omegaman7]

On my system I just added IMPORT_FOLDER=D:\ and BD_RB creates the IMPORT folder on my D drive every time. I added it to the options and not the path section.

Have you watched it in real time? A temporary import folder appears in the working directory, before it relocates it to IMPORT.

[gonca]

I believe that you are correct, I have seen it. However the import folder becomes the new source folder instead of the default which would have source and working on the same drive

[omegaman7]

Not really complaining. Because it does help ;)

[omegaman7]

Interesting turn of events. Sorry about the double post, but I wanted to be sure this was seen by all.

I'm currently working on the most problematic DVD Title(Journey to the center of the earth). EVERY encode has failed, resulting in stuttering playback. Here's what I know. TMT5 will play the ripped raw mpeg-2 files, without fault. MPC-HC will not play the .VOB files properly, but it will play the DVD folder properly. VERY interesting. It's looking like a decoding issue. I'm currently running DGDecNV frameservice, to see if it eliminates the issue.

Wow, it's already looking promising. The encode rate is stupid fast LOL!

[gonca]

@omegaman7
I might have that DVD, depending on which version you have, and if you wish I can use my system to help you test or compare. Just post your ini file.

Are you still using the 570 in your sig? If yes, you should see a Kepler card go.

[gonca]

@wakko709
It just dawned on me that your logs state that H.264 encoder has stopped working. Is this what the actual error report says?

[AmigaFuture]

I tried my friends "The Mentalist" S1 D1, Ep 1 with Deinterlace and IVTC active, to 720x480p MP4 and VLC shows jerky frames. "Looks funny! Like everyone is doing a strange version of Max Headroom!" I laughed for a bit as my friend has never seen video outside smooth motion.. I'm trying with 44.09 since I haven't updated my MacBook Pro's BD-RB to newest yet. I figured, meehhh....try it and see. :D Soon, after some more tests, I'll rip to HDD and repeat all tests. If all goes well, or not, then I'll also use 44.14.

If you have DGDecNV installed, I recommend using that frameserver. (At least for this sort of problem, it's not always the best option).

DGDecNV corrected the issue for me, regarding (Journey to the center of the earth (2008) "Brendan Fraser"). VERY interesting. So clearly, it WAS a decoding issue. "Without a paddle" ALSO had the problem. I suspect DGDecNV would correct that one as well.

Yes, I'm still using the GTX 570. I sold my GTX 260, so now I'm stuck with it LOL! :S I desperately want an update, but I'm broke, and an invention I'm working on takes priority at the moment.

[AmigaFuture]

I would like to use DGDecNV. However, my ATI (before ATI and AMD joined) 5750 board is still doing very well (Portal, Tomb Raider, and more). I have a new Mac Pro in my sights since the WWDC, so....I may not go nVidia for a while.

That aside, 44.14, when Deinterlace and IVTC are both active, which I leave them both usually, produces a Jerky Mentalist..hahhaha! I'm Laughing a lot as I type this.. If I disable IVTC then the MP4 is smooth from the Optical Drive from today's tests. More later..

It would be very odd to see an HD film source that has telecining -- so IVTC should have no effect.

[AmigaFuture]

Ahhh, I see I didn't make that clear enough. I'm testing with The Mentalist S1D1 Ep1 DVD Imported. I agree about HD telecining.

For the DVD video, if Deinterlace is dis/enabled the speeds change with CRF MP4 output. However, if IVTC is active with Deinterlace on/off, the speeds are Always very slow. I've notice no speed change between 10 and 50 CRF. Is this suppose to be "Normal"? If IVTC is disabled, I notice speed differences. IVTC isn't needed with this DVD. Perhaps you may want to check that? BD-RB 44.14 is set to output to Alternate iPad MP4 SD 720..128 AAC..your default profile.

For fun, English Subtitles are enabled, but VLC isn't showing that they're in the container. FYI, I haven't, yet, had iTunes transfer any files to my iPad 2 to testing.

Ahhh, I see I didn't make that clear enough. I'm testing with The Mentalist S1D1 Ep1 DVD Imported. I agree about HD telecining.

For fun, English Subtitles are enabled, but VLC isn't showing that they're in the container. FYI, I haven't, yet, had iTunes transfer any files to my iPad 2 to testing. If IVTC is enabled, it is only used if the disc being processed is telecined. I'm certain about that -- because I scan for the flags myself. The exception is if you have IVTC_480i set. That flag tells BD-RB to inverse telecine regardless of the source. It should never be set unless you have a hard telecined source.

It's normal to see a speed drop when IVTC is being processed.

An MP4 can't handle PGC subtitles.

[AmigaFuture]

Right, but same speeds 10 to 50 with IVTC processing? Hmm..? That doesn't make sense to me, but...okay.

I haven't set IVTC_480i.. I'll try that for fun. There's a --slight-- jerking effect when playing with VLC and QuckTime with Snow Leopard. Mmm...trying to find why.

I don't doubt your certin-ness about it...I'm merely wanting to know why it's speeds aren't different. Not anything major. :D I'm pesky that way, always want to know Why...hehe.

[AmigaFuture]

Which is why between 10 to 50 with IVTC in Setup active looked the same to me. Hmm...interesting. I'm still not 100% confident how Soft/Hard Telecine functions, I can See visually...but..still somewhat elusive with my reasoning. Thanks for the reply.

[jdobbs]

Telecining was just a way to convert films (which originate at 24fps) to NTSC video (which is played at 30fps [actually 29.97fps because of timing involved related to blanking]).

In normal telecining you have a 23.976fps source -- but there are flags in the picture headers that tell it to repeat fields so that it adds one frame for every 4. The flags are read by the decoder and it outputs as 29.97fps. One in every 5 frames is manufactured from two of the originals.

Hard telecining works the same way -- except the frame insertion is done before the video is presented to the encoder. So you have a 29.97fps source that is encoded. The picture is essentially the same, but no flags are present in the picture headers. It also means the encoder has to encode 25% more frames, resulting in poorer compression.

When you have to inverse telecine a hard-telecined source, the decoding software has to figure out which of each 5 frames is the "manufactured" one so it can be removed. It does it by looking for repeated fields. On a soft telecined source, that frame doesn't actually exist yet, so you can just remove the flags, which is called "removing pulldown", and end up with a 23.976 source.

Just to complicate things, there are also sources that are a mixture of telecined and true interlaced video (recorded at 29.97fps). That's when it gets really messy.

[wakko709]

@wakko709
It just dawned on me that your logs state that H.264 encoder has stopped working. Is this what the actual error report says?
yep thats what it said

[gonca]

@wakko709
Do you have coreAVC or any other AVC codecs installed? Last time I saw a similar message was when I was using BD_RB as a stress tester to check my O.C. The message I recall seeing, if I remember correctly, said "x264 or x264.exe" has stopped working. Note that it referred to x264 not h264.

[AmigaFuture]

Telecining was just a way to convert films (which originate at 24fps) to NTSC video (which is played at 30fps [actually 29.97fps because of timing involved related to blanking])

That's a bit more clear than a lot of guides have seen. Some of it I already got, but other parts..not. Thank you for that share.

I now understand why I was seeing a slight "jerky" video with "The Mentalist" S1 D1 Ep1.. In Alternate MP4 (iPad) AAC...the DVD Episode isn't being rerendered to 23.976. None of the Hidden Options I've used or combinations are creating a 23.976 MP4. To verify it's possible I used HandBrake to create a smooth 23.976 Detelecined MP4. Is there something broken in that Alternate Output, perhaps?

Oh, I meant to let you know is seems it Is possible to have PGSs within an MP4, it's just that iPad (2)'s software doesn't know how to deal with it so it display...only. No turning it off. Hah! A recent version of HandBrake created the file. I saw PGS was selectable, so I played.


Do you really think 0 is ODD?? :D

Hello
is there any way to activate with bdrebuilder ati stream? or only works cuda nvidia?

[jdobbs]

Hello
is there any way to activate with bdrebuilder ati stream? or only works cuda nvidia? There's no support for ATI stream as yet. ATI, I believe, does support OpenCL, however, and that can be enabled via X264 with this:

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--opencl
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--opencl

[lauguru]

There's no support for ATI stream as yet. ATI, I believe, does support OpenCL, however, and that can be enabled via X264 with this:

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--opencl
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--opencl

I mean, you should uncheck "use lavf internal x264 for decodind" in the setup menu and

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--opencl
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--opencl

in bdrebuilder.ini
correct?

[jdobbs]

I mean, keep internal use lavf for decodind x264 in the setup menu and add

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--opencl
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--opencl

in bdrebuilder.ini
correct?I'm not sure LAVF selection is required. Someone else may be able to give more info on its internal workings. But I can say that turning it on with Directshow enabled is actually much slower than Directshow alone when I try it with my Nvidia card.

Hi!

Thank you for you work. I like the simplicity of your application, but unfortunately most of the times i can't use it. I have a sound delaying problem, which i don't know what causes.
The inspect exe says everything is OK and i use the recommended ffdshow version.
Last time i tried (version 0.44.14), i picked the high quality setting CRF, and targeted BD25 option. There were no audio reencode, i kept the HD audio too.

What do you suggest?

Thanks!

For the past few versions of BD Rebuilder, I haven't been able to do BD to DVD conversions when I include subtitles. When no subtitles are present, everything works fine. I've tried it with 4-5 different BDs and I always get the same error at the very end. This is what the log looks like. This was for 'James and the Giant Peach' but I also got the same behabior a few days ago with 'Silver Linings Playbook'.

Thanks!Check for CODEC packs and other CODEC installations. If they are there, remove them. They often intercept or interfere with encoding and are almost always the cause of this type of issue. It's helpful if you post a log when you report a problem. It's hard to "just guess" what you're experiencing and what settings are in use.

It's helpful if you post a log when you report a problem. It's hard to "just guess" what you're experiencing and what settings are in use.

I don't use codec packs. I use mpc-hc + madvr + lav filters for movies, and nothing else. Ofcourse avisynth, haali and ffdshow are intalled too.
My problem is more precisely is that all of the soundtracks are delayed by a couple of seconds.

What kind of log would be helpful?

Sorry i wasn't aware of this. I edited it out.

It means i can't get help with my problem regarding bd rebuilder? Sorry, but I only support bug reports that are against original BDs. It's almost impossible to debug an issue that is the result of preprocessing. I have no idea whether the source is good. In my experience I have found that most issues (actually almost all) reported on preprocessed sources are the result of the preprocessing rather than a bug in BD-RB.

@ tiamat911

I just did a DVD-5 conversion from BD using a test disc -- and it worked correctly. I don't have "James and the Giant Peach" -- so I'll do another test against "Silver Linings Playbook". But so far it seems everything is executing as it should.

You may want to try removing BD-RB, AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW and reinstall them all from scratch.

@jdobbs

Hi ! Thanks for the quick reply ! I tried that, also making sure I rebooted my PC between uninstalls and installs, and also making sure I downloaded the tools using the links provided by you and I get the exact same results. It's wierd since I've been using your software for approximately 2 years now and about half of the time I use it for BD to DVD conversion with subtitles and never had any issues. Everything seems to be working fine, it converts the subtitles, multiplexes the audio and video and stops when trying to stream the subs in... It's the same thing whether I rip with AnyDVD or DVDFab. Should I try uninstalling and reinstalling again ?

Could you post the contents of your BDREBUILDER.INI file so I can see if there is anything odd there?

I'm in NTSC mode and all BD rips I've used where ripped by myself from the North American releases of the movies I tried to convert... And like I said, I'm not havint any issues if I exclude the subtitles, the errors only show up with subtitles.

The subs are being integrated with SPUMUX -- and I'm not sure whether it would have trouble with that. I'll do a test using a path with the "&" in it and see if it has an effect.

I'll see if it is the way I pass the information or if it is SPUMUX itself that is the source of the issue. If it isn't the former -- I'll have to add some code to prevent the use of the "&" in acceptable pathnames.

Good catch!! :thanks:

[jdobbs]

@tiamat911

Ok, I have it. The problem is that the "&" (ampersand) has a special meaning in XML. SPUMUX uses an XML descriptor as input to the muxing. So the XML interpreter had an issue when it saw it in the path name. I'll need to modify my code to look for an "&" in the path and change it to an "&amp;" or a numeric character reference.

When I posted that last post, I lunched a new converting job with a different destination folder. I was out for a few hours and when I came back (just now), I saw that my job finished without any errors and I also saw your replies... and then it came to me that I started to have this issue when I completely re-organised my hard drive/folders and change the name of my BD/DVD workfolder from simply 'DVD' to 'BD & DVD'

I'm happy I could contribute and I'm also happy that you asked my to post my .INI file since it's what made me realise that the & could be the probleme...

Thanks again for your help, quick replies, great patience... and thanks for that great piece of software !

I've fixed it for the next release.

[Limobar]

I tried to resize the bonus material by adding "e:r:spline16resize(640,360)" and it works almost perfectly. Almost perfectly, because short videos (deleted scenes of about 40 seconds) get resized, but also get a bitrate that would be appropriate for 1080p. That it gets resized shows that it gets recognized as bonus material.

Although it doesn't have much impact on the total size, it would be nice to have all bonus material encoded the same way.

[colinhunt]

Discovered a title which gives BD-RB problems: the Danish TV thriller The Killing, series 2. Both discs have 5 episodes, an hour each.

Ran a movie-only backup of both discs by selecting a "play all" playlist. On backup disc 1, audio sync is fine for the first 4 episodes, but badly off in episode 5. On backup disc 2, audio sync is fine in episode 1, but badly off in episodes 2-5.

MediaInfo says the source files are 24.00fps progressive. Backups were created with "KEEP_HD_AUDIO=1" so DTS-HD MA tracks were copied over as-is.

Instead of a Movie-Only backup of the "Play All" playlist, why wouldn't you just do a "Quick-Play Backup"? It will keep all the episodes and make it a lot more convenient for playback...

"The Mentalist" S1 D1 Episode 1... SD_PROGRESSIVE and Setup's IVTC 3:2 does well, just doesn't display any indicator in the log that it's happening as it does when using Full Backup.

Something else I noticed that perhaps you haven't?? BD-RB picks the middle episode as the biggest. Yet, it shows in the list as under an hour; same as the other episodes. It should reflect the total time of all episodes...correct? Thanks. Back to the root as to why I was testing this.. From my Optical Drive, I've not noticed any out of sync importing the first episode from DVD when the render is good.

I believe this issue is caused by whatever you use for demuxing: it does not do the "fixing gaps and overlaps" corrective pass like eac3to does.

Instead of a Movie-Only backup of the "Play All" playlist, why wouldn't you just do a "Quick-Play Backup"?
That's a good question. I've never used Quick-Play Backup, to be honest. Guess I'll look into it now.

Yeah, I don't think importing from optical drive was the problem. Something about MPEG-2 decoding/X264LAVF was the problem. And I don't believe it was every DVD I imported. DVD importing isn't something I do very often. Fact of the matter is, it was only this one time. Though I can see using it again in the future. BD-RB is much more 1-2-3 than Multiavchd ;)

From my Optical Drive, I've not noticed any out of sync importing the first episode from DVD when the render is good. I assume we're talking about movie-only mode. It doesn't pick the biggest. It chooses the one most likely to be the feature. It probably picked the middle one because the time was close -- and it assumed the longer episode was the "extended version". There is no indicator on a disc that says "I'm a series disc" -- so all discs are assumed to be a feature, possible extended versions, and extras. In "Quick-Play" mode, it will also not include a title that is a combination of several other titles (because it encode more than once and double the size of the disc).

[AmigaFuture]

@ jdobbs

Okay. That's a software difference between HandBrake and BD-RB. Cool, it's not a BD-RB bug. Movie only; Alternate MKV/MP4 vs Full Backup.

They're hidden features. I am guessing, JDobbs doesn't want them showing in the main GUI because of that....at least, perhaps not until it's more ready for final release? I'm cool with it because I know their directory paths. I have wondered..but again, beta...

Do you mean the "Source Path", "Working Path", and "Stream" in the window you see when you first launch BD_RB.

Jdobbs, I was thinking of adding a code which allow user to select which title to backup from series, rather than choosing the largest one. For example if multiple titles appear with similar length display all of them and let user decide.

BD-RB doesn't select the largest title. It goes through a series of logical steps to try and determine which playlist is the feature -- and selects that one.

I thought this was what the "Other Movie-Only Playlist" option was for, to select a playlist other than what BD-RB chooses by default. It's what I've been using to back up each individual episode on series discs.

@Chuckwagon
That's how I do it as well.

oh, in that case may be hidden option.

[jdobbs]

I thought this was what the "Other Movie-Only Playlist" option was for, to select a playlist other than what BD-RB chooses by default. It's what I've been using to back up each individual episode on series discs. Yes, that's for when it doesn't pick the right one. It's right 99% of the time, but nobody's perfect. It's also the way you choose each episode individually on a series disc.

[RobertM]

Yes, that's for when it doesn't pick the right one. It's right 99% of the time, but nobody's perfect.

Whenever I find an example where the wrong playlist is selected by default I just pick the the right one manually. But would it help you to improve your algorithm by knowing which titles don't work as expected and which is the correct playlist for that disc? I have a suspicion that reporting all such cases would just end up being a lot of noise for you to sift through, but perhaps there would be some useful data in there. Just thought I would ask ;)

you can do that by following the instructions in the very first post. You managed to set mpeg2 and avc properly so just do it for VC1 too

hello
there is any command, not to convert the main mt2s?
the extras are in mpeg2 and if converted to mpeg4 with h264, the bd would enter into a BD25

I just want to convert the extras

FORCE_NOENCODE=n

as applied to a particular file?

thanks

FORCE_NOENCODE=n doesn't apply to file. So it wouldn't work.

thanksIf you wanted to force no encode you'd use:

FORCE_NOENCODE=1

But, no, there is currently no way to encode only the extras and leave the feature intact.

Possibly a bad rip. What program you used to rip?

[jdobbs]

Definitely a bad rip. That's the only way you could get a PES packet that large. Since the video reencoded, I'd say it's probably one of the audio streams.

I had this problem. Everything was working fine until I installed a program that added some codecs of its own (which I was afraid it might even though in the installation step I told it not to add any additional codecs). Removing that program, and then removing and re installing FFDSHOW solved the problem.

When backing up 'A Good Day To Die Hard' BD-RB freezes near the end of the second file(00801.m2ts) involved in the rebuild. (Movie Only) The files that were copied to hard disk from Bluray play fine and all the way through with out any hiccups. If I play the file in question in Power DVD It begins to play fine until it gets to the 31 second mark, then it jumps to the end. I noticed that PDVD shows the file as 40 seconds. If I play it with the preview option in BD-RB it shows it as 31 seconds and plays through to the end. When processing the files BD-RB handles the first file OK and then begins working through the second file but freezes just near the end. I can't copy the log because BD-RB is locked up. I've re-copied the file several times and it remains the same. Any ideas how to get around this?

[gonca]

@houzer
Do you get any error messages such as X264.exe has stopped worling?

[houzer]

@gonca

No, nothing. Just stops. I let it sit for a fair amount of time and it stays the same. Clicking anywhere on the program's screen just causes it to whiteout and adds (Not Responding) to the title bar.

[gonca]

@houzer
Sounds like something is using up your resources in the background. Use task manager to see what is using up your system.
It is also possible it is your antivirus interfering with BD_RB. I did that movie with no problems.

SMKYep. Good advice. Adding CODEC packs just creates a mess. Not just for BD-RB, but pretty much everything. They intercept, interfere, redirect and all kinds of nasty stuff -- and most of the time the installer doesn't even have the common courtesy to tell you it is doing all this.

FFDSHOW has about every CODEC needed for almost any reason under the sun. No other CODEC pack is needed.

BD-RB could not get past this file! :confused:

I ripped that file several times and the result is always the same. Is there a setting in BD-RB to force it through an error/"bad spot" like this and move on to the next file in the queue?

[Racer]

Is it actually possible to use QuickSync instead of DGDecNV for frameserving. I think my GT520 is limiting very soon if I replace my CPU by a i7 4770; I think QuickSync is faster than a VP5.

There is already a ffdshow version supporting QuickSync, can this one also be used for BD Rebuilder. Thanks!

[jdobbs]

I ripped that file several times and the result is always the same. Is there a setting in BD-RB to force it through an error/"bad spot" like this and move on to the next file in the queue? What I'm saying is the sometimes when a new protection mechanism is released, you have to wait a bit for the ripping software to compensate. So ripping it over-and-over won't do a thing until that happens. I don't know yet, though, that it even IS a ripping issue.

I picked that disc up today -- and will run it to see what I find. But if it is a new protection, I'd have to leave it to the AnyDVD folks to address it.

I have had problems with that title too. In fact, I have ripped it from two different discs with similar results. My problem has not been with BDRB - it finishes ok. However, even when playing the ripped version, it stalls after the initial MGM logo and you have to select skip to next chapter to get it to continue.

I think there is either an authoring problem or a problem with AnyDVDHD.

The resultant disc was processed properly by BD-RB, INCLUDING 01288m2ts, which is a 12.0 KB (and remained as part of the fial backup)... I just went through my notes... and I see nothing that could affect that. Almost everything in the 0.44.13 release is applicable only to ALTERNATE output and importing.

I'll be running it later today.

[Edit] I just opened the disc for input for a full backup. That file (01288.m2ts) isn't even on the list of files to be processed. It is just copied intact from source to destination. So the only way it could have any impact at is if someone is playing with the hidden settings and has set the minimum M2TS size to something ridiculously small.

I'd recommend that anyone having an issue first try renaming their INI file and reopening BD-RB so it can do the backup with it defaults.

[Edit] Ughhh.. 99 streams to encode. This is taking forever...

I did have "MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0", for blanking purposes of fbi warnings, etc... :( Not sure how else to get them to be available to blank.

(I guess I could just try and go back to multiAVCHD for blanking the warnings after BD-RB completes)I just finished a Full Backup of "A Good Day to Die Hard" with no issues using BD-RB with default settings.

I'll set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0 and look at what is happening. But I would highly recommend that you not use it for standard backups. There's just nothing to be accomplished by deciding to reencode 16KB files other than making things harder. This disc has almost no startups to blank.

Players are a lot different. Decoders, like FFDShow, and X264/LAVF require near flawless data. If you have a bad rip, these utilities will discover it. A bad press, scratched disc, or an improperly decrypted disc, or finicky optical drive can cause issues.

[jdobbs]

but the full ripped version plays ok...
the issue is when i try to compress to 25gb... Playing is easy... a player can skip over errors and pick up at the next comprehensible point. But you can't do that when reencoding. Playing doesn't indicate "no errors".

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1635190#post1635190Yes, only on the first pass.

@Capsbackup

I looked at what happens when 01288.m2ts of "A Good Day to Die Hard" is being processed. It isn't hanging on the encode, BD-RB has gotten itself into a forever loop looking for playlist interrelationships. I'll look at it tomorrow and get a fix into the next release.

Well I guess I am pleased that it wasn't just my settings causing the problem! ;)
Thanks for your persistence finding and solving this "partial" user inflicted problem. :p
(I will set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=100 for BD-25 backups)

(I will set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=100 for BD-25 backups) Yes, I'd recommend you keep it at 100 for all except when you have decided to blank. But for blanking there really isn't a lot of choice, since some of the annoying popups would be less than that.

I've fixed the issue for the next release (I'll probably post it later today or tomorrow depending on testing). With that one you should be able to set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0 with no problems.

Thanks for the heads-up on this bug.

Perhaps I will keep MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0, and continue to test with it this way for the next several backups. :)

Ok, so I backed up
" Green Lantern Extended Cut " Blu-Ray
to a 25GB disc and I had encoded it using the parameter

DTSX_ENABLE=1

I noticed in BD-Rebuilder the secondary picture sound file was now automatically selected, whereas is was not selectable before adding the above parameter.

I was certain this would have worked flawlessly but when I
played the disc, still no PiP sound.

I am playing off the burned BD-25 disc on my PC using (tested in) both
PowerDVD 9
PowerDVD 10 <--- This is the latest I have. Sorry.

On integrated 7.1 HD Suround Sound, (yes ! all speakers turned on by the way).

Made sure that in the on screen disply I enabled both
PiP Video
and
PiP Audio to English ( the only track ).

but still no PiP sound. Only the main movie sound is playing.
(turned off the main movie sound for testing too. No luck).

Note: PiP Video and Audio is working correctly on my system off of Original Blu-Ray discs.

[Ch3vr0n]

That is a known issue and for the moment unsolveable. For some reason pdvd doesn't like the way bdrb mixes the pip video back in. I have the same issue. Pdvd is a nogo on the backup but on the standalone it works just fine.

[colinhunt]

Instead of a Movie-Only backup of the "Play All" playlist, why wouldn't you just do a "Quick-Play Backup"?
Jdobbs, I finally tested Quick-Play Backup and I have an answer to your question: Because in Quick-Play Backup BD-RB won't let me force a subtitle on.

[jdobbs]

Jdobbs, I finally tested Quick-Play Backup and I have an answer to your question: Because in Quick-Play Backup BD-RB won't let me force a subtitle on. Hmm... I can fix that.

Is there another player (software) preferably free that will play it properly ? I have already tested Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (64-bit) 1.6.7.7114 and it doesn't even open the BD discs properly and go to the movie menu.

I have also failed to be able to play the Blu-Ray rips from BD-Rebuilder directly off of the Hard Drive.

Has anyone found the solution to these?

I prefer to use Arcsoft TMT. Not sure how it is with PiP though.

[Ch3vr0n]

Playing the rip is rather easy. Just drag the main folder that holds the BDMV & certificate folder in them into PDVD and you're good to go

Hello,
is there any way to increase BDRB processing speed?
My machine is a siemens fujitsu rx600 server with 4 x intel xeon 3 GHz - each of them can handle two threads.
Even BDRB uses all eight threads the overall processor load is only about 42 %.
How can I change that?

Greetings from Germany

Greetings from GermanySet the number of x264 instances you'd like running concurrently with the MULTIPROCESS hidden option. See HIDDENOPTS.TXT for documentation.

[Edit] Be careful, though. Pass 2 uses more CPU than pass 1 -- and setting MULTIPROCESS too high can actually give you diminishing returns.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.15). Changes for this version:- Added a new hidden setting. SUP_3D_DEPTH can
be adjusted to add addition depth to subtitles
Any value of 0 to 50 can be used. The higher
the value, the closer the subtitles appear to
the viewer.
- Changed chapter detection in DVD import so that
is if pulled from PTS headers in cells rather
than IFO times (to correct for poor authoring
found on some DVDs).
- Corrected an issue in which the wrong resizing
algorithm was used for downsizing 1920x1080 to
1440x1080.
- Updated algorithm to provide a better starting
CRF value when resizing to 1440x1080 and 720p.
Only applies to one-pass CRF mode.
- Corrected CRF prediction so that a quick hit
does not result in an off-target final
approximation.
- Fixed an issue in which outputting to an intact
MKV file from a telecined source could result
in audio/video out-of-sync.
- Added a workaround for a problem in ALTERNATE
DVD-5 output in which a working path containing
a "&" character could cause rebuilding to fail.
- Fixed an issue in which importing series DVDs
that have multiple episodes within a single PGC
could have a continually increasing audio de-
sychronization.
- Corrected a problem in which certain very rare
authoring circumstances could cause BD-RB to
lock in a forever loop.
- Updated BD-RB and INSPECT to accept an newer
version of FFDSHOW (r4504) as "correct".
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r2345).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r2345).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Jdobbs,

Thanks again for all the work and determination to make a BD Rebuilder keeps getting better! :)

The link on the first post for FFDSHOW is the updated version, correct? I assume this means that we should upgrade to this version?

Thanks :)

[jdobbs]

Thanks :) Yes, I updated the link. It isn't really necessary to update, as I don't think it really has any positive impact on BD Rebuilder itself. But, it is a later release of FFDSHOW, so there may be some other package that would benefit from it.

I usually run an FFDSHOW release for a month or two before adding it to the list, and then start testing another one. Some of the issues I've experienced in the past took a while to manifest (needing some unique circumstances) and that's why I test it for so long.

Jdobbs,

[lazyn00b]

The option for MP4, 1280x720, AutoGOP, Auto-AAC is listed twice in the mode settings. Is this intentional or by mistake? Or did I misread/misunderstand it?

That just doesn't work.

I prefer to use Arcsoft TMT. Not sure how it is with PiP though.

That's an expensive player. If it doesn't play PiP or even open Blu-Ray discs correctly off the Hard drive, how is this relevant to the question ?


OK.
So if I can't use PiP there is no point in encoding it onto the back-up 25GB BD disc and taking up space and reducing the quality of the main movie.

Can anyone tell me how to exclude all the PiP videos from the BD-Rebuilder list to re-encode, please.

[omegaman7]

You asked :) Yes, you said you "Prefer" free. But I was simply giving my 2 cents. It may be "Expensive", but it is a pretty versatile player :p

[Ch3vr0n]

Then you're not doesn't not doing it right or have a player that doesn't support it. Dragging the disc root folder works just fine for me in pdvd 11,13 tmt 5 and tmt 6

[jdobbs]

The option for MP4, 1280x720, AutoGOP, Auto-AAC is listed twice in the mode settings. Is this intentional or by mistake? Or did I misread/misunderstand it?Yep, they are exactly the same settings... don't know how I managed that. I'll fix it.

hello jdobbs

OpenCL mode is only active in high quality mode?, in good, better and high speed BD25 not activated

Discovered a problematic title: House at the End of the Street (2012), by 20th Century Fox. English DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio, with English and Spanish subs. Disc contains both Theatrical and Unrated cuts by splitting the movie into several small files. A while back I ran a Full Backup of the disc on 0.44.xx (before 0.44.14) and the output suffered from very glitchy video. I decided to wait for a new version of BD-RB to try again later.

A couple of weeks ago I tried to make a movie-only "1080p with Intact Audio" MKV of the shorter movie on 0.44.14 (2-pass, target size 8100MB). The process failed during "Building Alternate Output Structure" with error message "ERROR in attempt to mux (MKVMERGE)". Again, I put the disc aside to wait for a new version of BD-RB.

Today I ran the same MKV output task again on 0.44.15, with the same result. Here's the log:

@colinhunt
Could you try with DirectShow, just use a CRF of 30 to make it quick and see if it completes.

[HomeDepot4]

I am also getting a Failed To Rebuild message for Taken 2. (I've rebuilt many movies and never encountered this problem before...)

I have attached the log, although it doesn't have much information. Please let me know if there is something else that I can provide that would help.

This is a wonderful tool and I truly appreciate all of your hard work with it!

[20:35:15] - Failed to REBUILD

[colinhunt]

@colinhunt
Could you try with DirectShow, just use a CRF of 30 to make it quick and see if it completes.
It did not complete: same problem as I reported above.

[mrintegral]

same behavior here. It works with "full movie backup", though.
You may give it a try...

[jdobbs]

I am also getting a Failed To Rebuild message for Taken 2. (I've rebuilt many movies and never encountered this problem before...)

I have attached the log, although it doesn't have much information. Please let me know if there is something else that I can provide that would help.

This is a wonderful tool and I truly appreciate all of your hard work with it!Please update to the most recent release and see if you problem still exists. I've made many fixes to ALTERNATE output since v0.44.3.

[jdobbs]

@colinhunt

I'm picking up "House at the End of the Street" later today. I'll see what I can find.

[HomeDepot4]

Please update to the most recent release and see if you problem still exists. I've made many fixes to ALTERNATE output since v0.44.3.

I downloaded the latest version that I can find (0.44.15 which is on website) and got the same result....

[jdobbs]

I downloaded the latest version that I can find (0.44.15 which is on website) and got the same result.... Ok, I'll pick that one up and test it too.

[gonca]

@jdobbs
I have the N.A. version, Canadian, of Taken 2. I'll do an encode and try to follow HomeDepot4's settings to see on which end the problem lies if you wish.

[gonca]

Results are the same.

I have the N.A. version, Canadian, of Taken 2. I'll do an encode and try to follow HomeDepot4's settings to see on which end the problem lies if you wish.Thanks, I'm ripping it now.

Hopefully it is the same issue as colinhunt is seeing on "House at the End of the Street" -- I ran that one earlier with no issues, but my disc is obviously different than his as the playlist doesn't match.

I previously did Taken 2 to 1920x1080 DD640 with no issues. Could it be the resizing or a x264 tweak causing the issue?

[jdobbs]

[gonca]

Yes I did, I primarily use MKV now a days for my HTPC. Still do the odd BD25 when the extras are worth it.

[jdobbs]

Yes I did, I primarily use MKV now a days for my HTPC. Still do the odd BD25 when the extras are worth it.Hmm... interesting. I'll go back and review any changes I've made recently to the MKVMERGE command line. Strange, though, as you'd think it would be an issue all the time.

Hopefully when I run "Taken 2" I'll be able to repeat the issue. If I can do that it's usually an easy trace to find the fix.

[gonca]

Do you want me to check which version of MKVMERGE was in use at the time?

[jdobbs]

Do you want me to check which version of MKVMERGE was in use at the time?If it is the latest download, I know the version. (unless you have changed it)

[gonca]

I actually meant the MKVMERGE version for the good MKV encode.
6.0.0 on Feb 8,2013 according to MediaInfo

[jdobbs]

Well, I'm not resizing and my tweak is "--tune film" only.

[colinhunt]

my disc is obviously different than his as the playlist doesn't match.
Oh, damn. So you wasted your money? :/

[omegaman7]

Making a discovery is hardly wasteful ;) But I know what you're saying.

[jdobbs]

Oh, damn. So you wasted your money? :/ It happens.

I found the issue in "Taken 2". It's related to the length of the chapter file name when there are enough parts to make the file name too long. I need to add some code to handle that possibility. I'm not positive if this is the issue on the other disc, but I'll see what I can find.

[jdobbs]

@colinhunt

I've corrected the issue I found in "Taken 2". But it doesn't seem to be related to the issue you've reported. Yours seems to be happening during MKVMERGE, and that one happened before MKVMERGE was executed. Since your release of "House at the End of the Street" seems to be different than mine, I'm not sure what I can do.

When you changed to Directshow, did you resume the last job or start over from scratch? If you resumed, could you try clearing the working folder and starting from scratch?

Is there any way you could point me (Amazon maybe?) to the version of the disc that is having the issue?

[colinhunt]

When you changed to Directshow, did you resume the last job or start over from scratch?
Started from scratch, always do in cases like this.

Is there any way you could point me (Amazon maybe?) to the version of the disc that is having the issue?
I bought mine second-hand (can't afford to buy many new ones these days) but the seller said it's the NA version. Same cover as the Amazon.com version, same subs too, but Amazon.com lists English, French and Spanish soundtracks whereas mine has only English. It's not the Spanish release either.

It's somewhat moot now, since the problem raised its ugly head again last night, but this time the source was not a Blu-ray. It was an MPEG-2 .ts 1080i/29.97fps HDTV transmission which BD-RB (0.44.15) attempted to encode into a de-interlaced 1080p/29.97fps MKV. Same error, "Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure - ERROR in attempt to mux (MKVMERGE)". What's more, I was running the encode on another PC.

[lauguru]

bdrebuilder not recognize either the structure, and the extras are not.

where's the rest of the log? You cut of the bottom part

[Traltixx]

Set the number of x264 instances you'd like running concurrently with the MULTIPROCESS hidden option. See HIDDENOPTS.TXT for documentation.

[Edit] Be careful, though. Pass 2 uses more CPU than pass 1 -- and setting MULTIPROCESS too high can actually give you diminishing returns.

Hello,
is there any way to increase BDRB processing speed?
My machine is a siemens fujitsu rx600 server with 4 x intel xeon 3 GHz - each of them can handle two threads.
Even BDRB uses all eight threads the overall processor load is only about 42 %.
How can I change that?

Greetings from Germany

Thanks for your answer!
Though my english is very poor you understood what I meant - I am glad about that :-) ...
I already tried out the MULTIPROCESS option at different settings (from "1" to "8") but BDRB responded only with endless efforts to "split" any files without the least progress. In fact the program stopped.
Did I make something wrong?

If you only want the movie -- why not select "Movie-Only" mode instead of trying to remove the extras.

[montana72]

Hello, is that happens only with the Spanish Edition is of linking national editor, not Universal as the USA.

I do not usually select only movie because I think removes the menu and I like to leave the menu and only remove the extras.

As I said what happens is that you enter them do not appear on the toolbar content, only the film and the logos that appear at the beginning.

But then, if you have them in weight, i.e., says 29 gigabytes of the 22 that indicates only the film.

Thank you.

Thank you.Still not sure I fully understand, but try adding this to your Config/INI file's [OPTIONS] section:

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0

[montana72]

I could draw as it is used DOWNRESIZE = s when the result record is a little big.?

Thank you.

[jdobbs]

Thank you.I'm sorry, but I don't understand. DOWNRESIZE allows you to select an alternate AVISYNTH filter for resizing to a smaller resolution (like 1080p to 720p). The default is BicubicResize(). It doesn't affect target sizes.

I was trying to import a 1920 x 1080, h264, 29.97 fps .ts file HD TV capture from my Hauppauge HD PVR to convert to DVD 9.
There appears to be a problem loading a .ts file by way of the "File, Import, Video Files" method. BD-RB allows the import, but as soon as you click "Backup", the error message "You must specify both SOURCE and WORKING directories" pops up. So even though the Source .ts file is imported correctly, it is not kept in the Source Path, so BD-RB throws out this error.
The Working path is set. :confused:

[Capsbackup]

Is it actually possible that BD Rebuilder creates one m2ts file instead of an iso file? Thanks!

[jdobbs]

Is it actually possible that BD Rebuilder creates one m2ts file instead of an iso file? Thanks!You can certainly make an M2TS. Just output to movie-only -- and then keep only the M2TS found in BDMV/STREAM.

An ISO is only created if you have that option enabled (under SETTINGS/OUTPUT OPTIONS).

[Racer]

But even in movie-only there are sometimes several files for the movie, then I still need to merge.

[Racer]

Last time I made a "Quick-Play Backup" I had several single files of the main movie.

Anyway I have seen that BD Rebduiler can also make MKVs.
What would be the correct settings for it:
MKV Container, NO_RESIZE, AutoGOP, Auto-AAC
or
MKV Container, Intact Video, AutoGOP, Auto-AAC

And what size (MB) do I have to put in for "Two pass target size"
- for DVD-5
- for DVD-9

Auto-AAC means that also DTS is converted to AC3?

Sorry for all the questions! Thanks for your efforts!

Sorry for all the questions! Thanks for your efforts!Quick Play is NOT Movie-Only. A Quick Play backup can also include the extras and is a reauthoring mechanism. You need to select "Movie-Only" to create a single M2TS.

The settings would depend on what you want. If you pick "Intact Video" you will get the untouched original video into the MKV (with the same video size as the original). If you pick NO_RESIZE it will be reencoded at the same resolution to whatever target you select.

If you are planning to make a BD -- don't select MKV as output. Making an MKV doesn't guarantee BD compatibility. If you pick MKV and wanted to create a BD, you'll likely have to reencode again.

But, to create an MKV that will fit on a DVD-5, 4469 is a good number. For a DVD-9: 8032

AAC is NOT AC3. It is a completely different audio format that is very popular today and uses advanced algorithms to give higher quality at lower bitrates (e.g. it is used on iPods/iPads and is routinely used in MP4). AAC is not compatible with BD or DVD playback standards.

[Capsbackup]

I'm thinking about getting the Hauppauge HD capture device or something similar. How do you like it?

It is the best one I could find for HD capture with DD 5.1 audio. Mine is the USB version, model 1212.
I can capture HBO, etc... 1080i, 720P or to whatever the content is delivered as.
The main issue I have with it is the captured recording cannot be directly burned to BD/AVCHD because the TFF, 29.97fps capture experiences horrible combing and jittery playback associated with what I think is the wrong field order captured. Thus I am forced to reencode to either deinterlace or TIVTC to 23.976 fps progressive. This works quite well!
I have done Dexter, Game of Thrones, Homeland, Weeds and others with quite impressive results. :cool:

What I like is the ability to capture classic movies in HD that haven't been released on BD. I see them all the time, and the picture is beautiful compared to DVD.

I wonder if the issue is related to pulldown?

I use Component, so I can capture protective content too! ;)
Not sure about pulldown. Is that necessary for straight HD capture to AVCHD? :confused:
A typical script I use that works quite well for HBO, Showtime, and Starz is:
(tfm(order=1).tdecimate())

[Capsbackup]

Just tried BD-RB again on the source that would not work yesterday, and it is now working! :)
Not sure what happened, but operator error seems to be the culprit! :o

[dfsooner]

I'm thinking about getting the Hauppauge HD capture device or something similar. How do you like it?

I've been using this device for about 3 years and it works very well with Arcsoft TME 2. I use it mostly for sporting events but have never tried using the captured data with BDRB unless I have first authored a BD with TMPgenc Authoring Works. Then I've had trouble with the menus. I think BDRB doesn't recognize the menu
m2ts file as a menu.

[Rich86]

Forced Subtitles:
Forced Subtitles still do not seem to work correctly. "Dead Man Down" blu-ray - making a movie only blu-ray from the source.
The forced subtitles work fine in the original with subtitles set to off. There are 48 forced subtitle entries in 2 of the 4 english .sup files.
I included all 4 english subtitles when creating the movie only blu-ray with version 44.15 of BDRB. But the forced subtitles do not work.
Check for this around the 13 minute mark when she is looking out the window waving to Colin Farrell, then has a conversation in french with her mother.
Is there a setting I am missing for this?

I saw that FFDSHOW link in first post was newer than what I was using, so I updated it as well.

it was libavcodec and ive always used the other one :|

RE: CONVERSION BITRATE??
Not really a "BUG" report per se but maybe a prob that needs looked into or at least something I'm wondering about. I made a custom multiAVCHD disk of GOT. It was comprised of three .m2ts files from individual episodes created with BD_Rebuilder. The 1st was 9.05gb, 2nd one was 13.2gb, and the 3rd was 9.63gb. When I compressed it down here is part of the logs--------

GAME_OF_THRONES_S1D2_MULTIAVCHD
- Input BD size: 31.99 GB
- Approximate total content: [02:47:54.331]
- Target BD size: 23.68 GB
- Windows Version: 6.1 [7601]
- Quality: Highest (Very Slow), Two Pass
- Decoding/Frame serving: DirectShow
- Audio Settings: AC3=1 DTS=1 HD=0 Kbs=640


The BD_Rebuilder compression bitrates are as follows--------

---(9.05gb .m2ts)
Processing: VID_00000 (1 of 3)
- Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080
- Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 78,078 frames
- Bitrate: 15,592 Kbs

---(13.2gb .m2ts)
Processing: VID_00001 (2 of 3)
- Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080
- Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 75,688 frames
- Bitrate: 23,869 Kbs

---(9.63gb .m2ts)
Processing: VID_00002 (3 of 3)
- Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080
- Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 83,128 frames
- Bitrate: 15,602 Kbs

The resulting file sizes are respectively as follows (6.47gb, 9.48gb, and 6.90gb)

I can sort of understand if the middle .m2ts file was smaller and ended up with more bitrate but for it to give the larger file more bitrate seems counter-intuitive, at least to my admittedly limited understanding of the process. I am going to run it through again and see if the results are the same, but I noticed the previous compilation had skewed distribution also. I guess it could just be an anomaly of my system or of the pre-processing of multiAVCHD, even though it says it left the video and audio untouched.

thanks jdobbs for your amazing program, I don't know what I did with all my spare time until it came along, lol.

[jdobbs]

The bitrates are relative to the original bitrate. So if the middle file had a higher bitrate on the original -- it would have a higher bitrate on the backup. That's to keep the allocation consistent with the original authoring -- which typically is allocated based upon complexity.

[worknstiff]

ok , that makes sense, but it still makes me think I'm not utilizing the limited space the best but maybe I can't really tell the difference in quality between 23,000 bitrate and 15,000 anyhow. Come to think of it, the bigger .m2ts came from a 50gb disk with only one episode and lots of extras, that's why I wanted to re-author it anyhow, doh! Thanks for your
quick reply to my questions, worknstiff

[mikeonecl]

the glitch occurs including the conversion saved on hard disk. somebody can test the usa version of the film???

@mikeonecl
Which fast and furious movie, the first or the fourth, since they have very similar names.

[jdobbs]

the glitch occurs including the conversion saved on hard disk. somebody can test the usa version of the film???Uninstall any "CODEC packs" you may have installed. Uninstall and reinstall AVISYNTH, FFDSHOW, and HAALI. If there is an issue, it's likely because some other CODEC or software you've installed is interfering with the normal frame-serving process.

[mikeonecl]

i tried today with oblivion and trance, no problem. But i try with "CONTACT" and the problem occurs like fast and furious 1.

i will try your indications.

[Sharc]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.44.15). Changes for this version:.....
- Updated algorithm to provide a better starting
CRF value when resizing to 1440x1080 and 720p.
Only applies to one-pass CRF mode.
- Corrected CRF prediction so that a quick hit
does not result in an off-target final
approximation.
.....
Thanks for having looked into this.
A minor issue: 1440x1080 on BD9 still seems to start with the CRF 11.00 30.50 ... sequence. Just wondering if this is intentional or a leftover from the previous version?

i check fast and furious and contact, both are VC-1

oblivion and trance are MPEG.

there a any way to check if VC-1 is ok before convert??

i run inspect and always indicated OK.BD-RB checks to make sure the VC-1 setting is correct in FFDSHOW. But, unfortunately, if some other software intercepts it -- there is no way to detect it. All you can do is uninstall and reinstall so that FFDSHOW becomes the assigned CODEC again.

Hi,

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this when importing a QuickTime (MOV) from iPhone 5? The Framerate is different than what QuickTime, or VLC shows. Any ideas? A Bug?

Amiga, where's the rest of the log? Inspect.exe settings? Don't know if it'll be related but there's an ! in the output path. There have been issues in the past with "weird" signs in the path causing issues, but don't know if that's the case here too.

Thanks.Check it with MEDIAINFO. That's what BD-RB uses.

I can import from my iPhone 4s with no issues.

I didn't cut the log (haha, that can be read in a funny way, hahahah). It also doesn't get to the output so the path I use a lot didn't get used, yet.

Frame rate mode : Variable -- Because of this?
Frame rate : 29.970 fps That shouldn't make a difference, as BD-RB uses the value shown under "Frame Rate" or "Original Frame Rate" (when it is applicable).DirectshowSource("E:\BLU-RAY\REBUILDER\IMPORTS\IMG_0487\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts", fps=, audio=false)This is probably because the framerate couldn't be determined from the muxed source (being an illegal value, it couldn't fit in one of the preset framerate values used in BD).

I have no idea why it reads 29.97 now and 29.94 earlier -- but BD-RB simply reports what MEDIAINFO said at the time.

@colinhunt

I've corrected the issue I found in "Taken 2".

Sorry, I have a stupid question. Are there beta versions for download, or do I just have to wait until the next major update in order to put Taken 2 into mkv?

I'm fine either way, just wanted to know if I was missing something...haha.

Can't thank you enough for this amazing program!

:) Any findings about the .mov? Not in any hurry, merely curious.IT's definitely an issue in the source related to the variable framerate. But I can add a workaround.

Having problems converting Dead Man Down to DVD and managing forced subtitles.
Please be advised that I ran this BD title through Clown-BD in order to retain the forced subtitles, since BDRB doesn't handle them correctly for this title.
Note that BDRB sees the extracted subtitle stream fine, and converts it, but then cannot integrate it into the output.

There seems to be an issue with the EU release of "Oblivion". (Volume name OBLIVION_G51 barcode 5050582938456) The main title VID_00023, keeps holding on "Completing remainder of DGDecNV indexing...". Can be like that for dozens of minutes till i finally abort the encode. At times resuming then instantly does that, it resumes with encoding (as if the indexing is done). No such issues when swapping to FFDshow

Can be like that for dozens of minutes till i finally abort the encode. At times resuming then instantly does that, it resumes with encoding (as if the indexing is done). No such issues when swapping to FFDshow Interesting. Do you see that message often? I never see it, as the two processes (indexing and extracting) always takes the same amount of time. It's logical that they should both finish together due to disc read-buffering. I just put the message in to cover the possibility of a difference.

[Ch3vr0n]

every now and then, not too often though. the extracting goes to 100%, then after a sec or to jumps to "completing remainder ..." and just sits there. Swap to FFDshow and the second the extracting is done it jumps to encoding as it should. and since i'm encoding from a anydvd ripped iso mounted in VCD it shouldn't happen. Doens't happen alot but it is not the first time i've seen it. Same disc did also gave me a fluke error for a sec "error detecting stream. MPEG 1 not supported" on one attempt. Though all streams are either mp4 avc or VC-1. That being said, that "completing" issue is usually fixed by swapping to ffdshow, but the drawback is all encoding has to be done again even for previously succesfully encoded streams since the frameserver is swapped.

[gonca]

I can confirm the completing remainder of indexing message

[rogress]

Can't seem to get past a Failed to retrieve audio error. (First one I've had a problem with).

I've tried both of the audio streams that BD Rebuilder shows (see attached).

I've re-ripped it a few times, latest version of Any DVD

Any thoughts?

Tried rebooting between runs, continuing previous version, not continuing previous version, etc. Any insight?

@Imperial Zeppelin

I don't get that one. I can't see how MKVMERGE is even involved there. I'll have to look at the code.

[Edit] Ok... If that source is an interlaced VC-1 source than I can see where/why it is called. Can you check and see if the stream list shows a "**" next to that stream's framerate? Does the information area show "Converting field-based or secondary stream" when this is happening?

"Harry Potter 6" -- is that "The Half Blood Prince"?

[AmigaFuture]

Correct about "Harry Potter 6".

Yes, HP6 is Half Blood Prince.

Attached is what I see right before the failure, no mention of what you've asked. Just says "Extracting A/V streams: 00680.M2TS"

Thanks for the help. Anything else you need? For giggles I'm trying a "Movie Only" right now. I'm not putting much hope into it, but if interlacing is the problem, I'm thinking maybe some of the interlaced extra crap on the disc could be the cause.

[Imperial Zeppelin]

When I did "Movie Only," it worked like a champ. Hope that helps and thanks!

[gonca]

@Jdobbs
Here is the info you asked for from the Canadian version of Half Blood Prince.

It appears to be VC-1 1080p.

Here is a log for Harry Potter 6 with DGDecNV. Worked fine. Did notice that the video sequences were completely different.

Hello JDobbs,

Any news about "Live Free or Die Hard (4)" extas not being kept correctly using Movie & Menus? Thanks.

[Sharc]

There seems to be an issue with the EU release of "Oblivion". (Volume name OBLIVION_G51 barcode 5050582938456) The main title VID_00023, keeps holding on "Completing remainder of DGDecNV indexing...". Can be like that for dozens of minutes till i finally abort the encode. At times resuming then instantly does that, it resumes with encoding (as if the indexing is done). No such issues when swapping to FFDshow
Similar issue here with "Jack the giant slayer" - movie only, using dgdecnv2045: Audio extraction goes to 100% and then just sits there. Reverting to the previous Version of dgdecnv 2044 seems to solve the problem. Something for neuron2?

Try making the project (also demuxing the audio) manually with DGIndexNV (not through Rebuilder) and report the result.

Works and finishes normally. CPU load down to Zero after finishing. Nothing unusual observed.

[Guest]

Then it is apparently not something for neuron2, unless there is some strange interaction with BDRebuilder. I'll wait for jdobbs to weigh in on it.

I'd love to if you let me know how. I only use DGIndexNV with BDRB.

[Guest]

I'd love to if you let me know how. I only use DGIndexNV with BDRB. Open the MPLS file or the list of M2TS files in DGIndexNV. Then make sure the audio demuxing is enabled and finally do File/Save project. Then you can make a script and serve the video into VirtualDub. It's all described in the quick start guide that comes with the distribution.

[Sharc]

Then it is apparently not something for neuron2, unless there is some strange interaction with BDRebuilder. I'll wait for jdobbs to weigh in on it.
Apparently I was just a bit impatient: The indexing finishes about 10 minutes after the Audio demuxing in BDRB.
It's a 3D source; could this make a difference?

[Guest]

Apparently I was just a bit impatient: The indexing finishes about 10 minutes after the Audio demuxing in BDRB. That's strange. Maybe BDRD is doing it in two passes. Again hopefully jdobbs will enlighten us about that.

I have no idea about 3D sources as I have never worked with one.

[Ch3vr0n]

1 pass here, but a 2 way split and a 2D disc. Not a 3D release

[jdobbs]

All BD-RB does is run DGIndexNV.exe as a shell process and waits for completion. It doesn't extract audio as a part of that process. Audio/video/subtitles are extracted using TSMUXER. The two processes run concurrently -- and if one finishes before the other a message is posted showing the wait. On my system they always finish at the same time (since they are both reading the same input file, the caching keeps them closely linked). Doing both concurrently is a time saver.

The splits (e.g. two way) are unrelated to indexing/extracting. The split occurs when X264 is encoding and more than one X264 process may be executed concurrently.

[gonca]

@Sharc
Is your version a NA or EU disc?

[Sharc]

@Sharc
Is your version a NA or EU disc?
It's EU. Anyway, the job completed. I just had to be more patient and wait 10 extra minutes for the indexing to finalize.

[omegaman7]

It's EU. Anyway, the job completed. I just had to be more patient and wait 10 extra minutes for the indexing to finalize.

I seem to recall a long pause once upon a time. But I dismissed it, as a problem on my end(essentially something interfering with BDRB). I forget what the problem was :S

[Ch3vr0n]

Well it doesn't happen alot. Perhaps its worth picking the disc up and see if it happens on your end too.

Since the file was extracted okay, and it failed creating the new file, check the drives free space. Empty Trash.

[Ch3vr0n]

The vc-1 codex is not properly configured in ffdshow. You might wanna fix that and try again.

[AmigaFuture]

I skimmed it and missed that. Ha!

Die Hard 4... I replaced the .clpi, m2ts, and .mpls from Movie & Menu process with the originals...to notice if that would "fix" the extra. No go. I also tried Movie & Menu except with only replacing .m2ts files as displayed by BD-RB, and had an interesting result but...didn't function like the original. Hmm...

[worknstiff]

@ Sharc & colinhunt RE: Same thing happened with the German Blu-ray release of The Piano

I have only had this occur on those movies and "The Last Emperor". Incidentally all of these movies have English: DTS-HD Master Audio 2.0 audio and lose their sound after being BD-Rebuilt. I had to use clown to convert it to 2 channel 640k audio and place back into the .m2ts. I thought maybe this was just my isolated experience. While I am at it, I have another problem with a series disk that has 4 episodes on each disk. I want to convert the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 (which is around 1.5 gigs each), down to 640k AC3. The Dolby TrueHD 5.1 has a 448 core and I can't seem to figure out the correct setting for BD-Rebuilder to convert it, all I keep getting is 448k AC3. Is there some audio checkmark or hidden option to accomplish this? thanks, worknstiff

Bad rip Wakko. I've dealt with that before. Doesn't matter if the disc was spotless either...

Though I don't recall the error about opening the file.

[colinhunt]

Cinavia?
No, audio drops out from the m2ts file. The stream simply ends.

[steveg32]

Cinavia?

No, audio just drops out. My players are all pre-cinavia dated.

[wakko709]

perhaps you updated to post cinavia

[sytyguy]

What does that mean, sorry if I don't understand?

[Guest]

The question is whether you applied any firmware updates (containing Cinavia) to the players.

[sytyguy]

Thanks for the info.

[steveg32]

From the forum:

7.3.1.0 2013 08 11
- New: AnyDVD's unique Cinavia fix will prevent all currently existing software players -
including all TMT 5 and 6 versions, all PowerDVD 12 and 13 versions, all PowerDVD 10 OEM versions,

[steveg32]

perhaps you updated to post cinavia

No I did not.

If you suspect you are dealing with a Cinavia problem, you will know if, and ONLY IF, you SEE AN ACTUAL CINAVIA MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN. Even if the "title contains Cinavia". If you do NOT see a Cinavia ERROR message, you are NOT dealing with a Cinavia problem. I am not seeing a Cinavia ERROR message.

[steveg32]

Yes, 3 separate times. BD-25 all audio is there. DVD-5 is the audio drop off.

[jdobbs]

Yes, 3 separate times. BD-25 all audio is there. DVD-5 is the audio drop off.???? I certainly don't see how that could make a difference. They are both treated identically -- unless the settings are changed to keep HD on BD-25.

[Lathe]

May I just ask for a simple definition...

I am trying to back up my Blu-ray of THE CURE concert which is approximately 45 Gigs. It has a LOT of audio trax. When I try to use BDRB to reduce it to a single layer Blu-ray I get the error while it is processing the main video track saying:

'audio/pgs sizing issue'

I hit 'continue', but the resulting output folder ended up being about 41 Gigs anyway. Everything else ran just fine; no other errors. I DO of course have it set to keep the HD audio which is the point of the having the Blu-ray in this case. I looked in the Work Files and the resulting DTSHD file was indeed pretty big, about 10 Gigs.

Without getting to technical or involved, could someone just give me the short explanation of what this error means? Does it mean that the size with all the extra audio trax is just simply too big to shrink down to a BD25?

Thank you kindly!

[Ch3vr0n]

that's what the logfile of bdrb is for. Copy & paste the contents here so jdobbs can see exactly what is happening

[Lathe]

that's what the logfile of bdrb is for. Copy & paste the contents here so jdobbs can see exactly what is happening

No, that's okay; you guys are WAY to technical for me :) I just wanted some basic, simple reasons why the error is generated so that I know what can cause it. I just sounds like the BD is too big.

Thank you anyway; I very much appreciate the excellent program!

Cheers!

[Ch3vr0n]

how can jdobbs explain the error or how to solve it, if you won't provide the logfile that is generated during to encode that is needed to tell jdobbs what he needs to know.

[Video Dude]

Yes, 3 separate times. BD-25 all audio is there. DVD-5 is the audio drop off.

Did you demux the audio to determine if the file stream is truncated?

[Lathe]

how can jdobbs explain the error or how to solve it, if you won't provide the logfile that is generated during to encode that is needed to tell jdobbs what he needs to know.

Actually, I THINK I know somewhat why it is doing that; I was reading on some discussion forums (actually, I think that it was another thread either here or on VideoHelp and JDobbs was on the thread. It didn't have to do with this particular error message, but it did have to do with the resulting size of someone's encode) Someone on the thread seemed to figure out that because the audio had a LPCM track that BDRB somehow created a file that was twice the size; something intrinsic to that kind of file.

Well, since my Blu-ray is a concert disc, there are a number of LPCM tracks; and after reading that, I'm pretty sure that was why.

So, I am now re-encoding the exact same Blu-ray with the same settings (well, after reading a while I did implement the filter in the 'Settings' tab so that it can use my x64 processors - wow what a difference!) Anyway, I just cancelled out the primary LPCM track since I really only wanted the DTSHD track, and now it is encoding just fine and I DIDN'T get that message this time :)

So, even though no one just gave me the basic reason why that error could be triggered (all someone would have to have said is something like 'the audio files could likely be to large' or something like that I would guess) I now have it encoding just fine.

Sorry to bother you guys; I KNOW you really deal with MUCH more complex issues here.

Cheers!

[steveg32]

???? I certainly don't see how that could make a difference. They are both treated identically -- unless the settings are changed to keep HD on BD-25.

Setting for Keep HD Audio for BD25 is unchecked. I rarely keep HD Audio. Just as ???? as you are jdobbs.

[steveg32]

Did you demux the audio to determine if the file stream is truncated?

No. I just let BD Reb do its' thing.

[Video Dude]

No. I just let BD Reb do its' thing.

Demuxing and analyzing the audio of the BD-RB output files can help determine what the problem is.

If you find the audio is fully intact after demux, it might indicate a problem with your plackback device.

If you find the demuxed audio stream is partial and abruptly stops, or the audio appears full according to the timecodes, but has actual silence at the end, it might indicate a problem with your source or perhaps there was some error during the encoding or muxing process.

[jdobbs]

May I just ask for a simple definition...

I am trying to back up my Blu-ray of THE CURE concert which is approximately 45 Gigs. It has a LOT of audio trax. When I try to use BDRB to reduce it to a single layer Blu-ray I get the error while it is processing the main video track saying:

'audio/pgs sizing issue'

I hit 'continue', but the resulting output folder ended up being about 41 Gigs anyway. Everything else ran just fine; no other errors. I DO of course have it set to keep the HD audio which is the point of the having the Blu-ray in this case. I looked in the Work Files and the resulting DTSHD file was indeed pretty big, about 10 Gigs.

Without getting to technical or involved, could someone just give me the short explanation of what this error means? Does it mean that the size with all the extra audio trax is just simply too big to shrink down to a BD25?

Thank you kindly!It means the total size of the audio tracks alone is too big to fit on a BD-25 disc. Keeping HD audio is always a bad idea. It's a sales gimmick that is no more than a placebo. People think they can hear a difference because the salesmen tell them they can -- but always fail to identify the HD track in double-blind tests.

Thank you for taking the time to reply Mr. JDobbs; that was very nice of you considering the more serious things going on here.

Yes sir, I do believe that definitely is what contributed to what happened.

Thank you again for your help and also for the most EXCELLENT program!

Sincerely...

Forced Subtitles:
Forced Subtitles still do not seem to work correctly. "Dead Man Down" blu-ray - making a movie only blu-ray from the source.
The forced subtitles work fine in the original with subtitles set to off. There are 48 forced subtitle entries in 2 of the 4 english .sup files.
I included all 4 english subtitles when creating the movie only blu-ray with version 44.15 of BDRB. But the forced subtitles do not work.
Check for this around the 13 minute mark when she is looking out the window waving to Colin Farrell, then has a conversation in french with her mother.
Is there a setting I am missing for this?

Update: Pls note that forced subtitles (there are 29 forced entries in track_2609 sup) also do not work for the "Olympus Has Fallen" BD title after processing the title in movie only mode. I provide this info in case another example might help diagnose and correct the problem.

[laserfan]

The obvious answer would seem to be to "go to your AnyDVDHD Video Blu-ray Settings and un-check "Remove annoying adverts and trailers"".

[AmigaFuture]

That, and, or, exit AnyDVD (HD) before using BD-Rebuilder since you may use it to remove those. I'd change that option since it could be viewed as Pre-Processing.

[laserfan]

In the latest version of BD-RB (v0.39.01) I have added some undocumented features. I didn't want to make them widely available until there was some more widespread testing (so far I'm the only tester). The new features enable a "Movie and Menus" mode and also the ability to selectively blank playlists.

ENABLE_TEST=1...The "Movie and Menus" selection will now appear in the MODE menu

....please play with it and let me know what you think. Any suggestions for making it more usable will also be appreciated -- but please be reasonable.
Hey I've not tried BD-RB since v39.01 and had to look this post up again to figure-out how to get it to work in 44.15. Well, it works brilliantly! Not sure why it's not in HIDDEN OPTs!

Anyway my suggestion (question I guess): Is there any way, once your proggie has brilliantly enabled the disc to go straight to the Menu by blanking all the preliminary junk, to now get it to bypass even the Menu, and start playing the movie?

I suspect not; I look at the disc structure with BDedit and can't make head or tail out of it... :o

[Capsbackup]

If your intent is to just play the movie only, which I assume is not what you mean, then just a movie only backup. :(
However, if your intent is to have the disc start with playing the movie, and upon completion go to the main menu, then I can see where this could be an interesting option! :cool:

[laserfan]

...if your intent is to have the disc start with playing the movie, and upon completion go to the main menu, then I can see where this could be an interesting option! :cool:
That. I like hitting the Close button on my BD player when my wife arrives in the HT, and the movie starts w/o any fiddling. With DVDs I use PgcEdit to accomplish this, while keeping the menu/extras for post-movieviewing examination (my wife always exits the HT before the credits end!), but the BD structure is afaict completely impenetrable. Or at least, BDEdit is completely impenetrable to me!

:D

Anyway to not get too far afield from this thread--NO BUGS THAT I CAN FIND in BD-RB's editing features! :)

I say "ship it", but I suspect jdobbs has in mind to set a Guinness World Record for software being in Beta--it will be 5 years in Dec I think! :cool:

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.44.16). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which MKV files that
have audio offsets were not being adjusted
properly during import.
- Fixed a problem in MKV generation on sources
with a fairly large number of parts that could
result in a "Failed to REBUILD" error.
- Corrected an error in which rebuild of MPEG-2
sources could, under certain circumstances,
create an audio desynchronization.
- Added the ability to import multiple DVDs into
a single quick-play structure. In order to do
this you must put all the desired DVDs into a
single folder -- and then select that folder
under the IMPORT function. The name of the
folder should describe the DVD set and will be
used in the quick-play pseudo menu.
- Updated the method used for conversion of XVID
sources. Prior releases could lose frames and
result in audio desync when importing XVID.
- Added code to the IMPORT algorithm that finds
illegal audio sample rates, and force encoding
to the required 48Khz for BD/DVD.
- Fixed an error in which performing encodes with
iVTC set, followed by an exit and a follow-on
rebuild could result in incorrect framerates
and sync issues.
- Fixed an issue in which variable framerates in
a source to be imported may result in incorrect
framerate determination during IMPORT.
- Upgraded the tools MKVMERGE and MKVEXTRACT to
a newer release (v2.3.0)
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[laserfan]

I'm not sure what the definition of "ship it" would be, since my intent is to just keep it freeware anyway.
Oh I just meant IMO you have a "finished" product. Never mind that; it's clear why you are retaining the "beta software" designation.

[thegame]

Hi jdobbs thank you for the updated release, I just noticed this option,

- Added the ability to import multiple DVDs into
a single quick-play structure. In order to do
this you must put all the desired DVDs into a
single folder -- and then select that folder
under the IMPORT function. The name of the
folder should describe the DVD set and will be
used in the quick-play pseudo menu.

does this mean we can take a DVD series for example Feast 1-3 and put all 3 video_ts folders in the same folder as mentioned, name it Feast Trilogy and BD-RB will make a menu to choose which title you want? what will it say DVD 1 and so on or the actual title? also do you have a sample image of what the menu would look like? and could we replace it with our own background image? or am I just way off base here lol.

Thanks for your time jdobbs and for the great software as usual, this is great stuff and it only keeps getting better!

Thanks for your time jdobbs and for the great software as usual, this is great stuff and it only keeps getting better! The menu right now is a "Pseudo Menu" -- meaning you will skip between episodes by pushing the MENU button and a popup display will tell you the name of the selection about to be played.

Here's an example:

D:\SOURCE\STAR_WARS
D:\SOURCE\STAR_WARS\EPISODE_IV-A_NEW_HOPE
D:\SOURCE\STAR_WARS\EPISODE_V-THE_EMPIRE_STRIKES_BACK
D:\SOURCE\STAR_WARS\EPISODE_VI-RETURN OF THE JEDI

Each of the individual movie subdirectories contain the VIDEO_TS of a DVD structure. By selecting D:\SOURCE\STAR_WARS you could instruct BD-RB to import all three movies into a single BD structure. You could then reencode to BD-R. You could also do this with episodic DVDs, and each title will be included.

My intent in the future is to create an actual menu so that large numbers of episodes can be added and be easily selected out-of-order as well. In fact, I'm currently importing several old TV series now, and when I finish the "true" menu option I can just re-import them to create it.

Thank you so much for this, now this is great! I can't wait to test this out, can we also upscale our DVD's to 720p or do they stay DVD rez?

[jdobbs]

Thank you so much for this, now this is great! I can't wait to test this out, can we also upscale our DVD's to 720p or do they stay DVD rez?You can resize as you see fit -- but, of course, that has to happen after the import (during the reencode).

DGDecNV indexing issue: also present with main title (VID_00009) on Beautiful Creatures. Barcode 5412370850492

DGI file is only 3.633kb (3.54MB) for original video size of 30.203,29MB

[laserfan]

By this do you mean so there's no menu at all and just the main movie? If so then BDrebuilder has always been able to do that. In the 'Mode' menu just choose 'Movie Only'
Not what I was referring to. All menus & unblanked extras are retained, but on insertion the BD jumps straight to the feature. At the end of feature playback the menus & extras appear for selection as normal.

I've learned this is only possible (or I should say easy) to do with BDEdit and the very simplest of disc structures.

The obvious answer would seem to be to "go to your AnyDVDHD Video Blu-ray Settings and un-check "Remove annoying adverts and trailers"".

Thanks to laserfan & Amigafuture for your suggestions. I did uncheck the "AnyDVD Remove Annoying Adverts: Incompatible". Although the next attempt failed to encode as well, the AnyDVD status changed to "OK". I then uninstalled Avisynth, ffdshow, Matrska Split, and installed the updated versions. This corrected my encode failure problem. Since I did not change anything in these support programs, I can only assume that they "glitched" all by themselves! Long story short---problem solved---thanks for your support.

This is pretty common if one installs codec packs or other software that can change/override ffdshow settings.
It has been suggested to uninstall and then reinstall those main three helper apps. (Avisynth, ffdshow and Haali) when a failed attempt occurs, which will usually avoid a bug report! :p

Well I follow all the instructions to installed BD_Rebuilder v0.44.16 but when I run it I have always the same error that FFDSHOW is not well configured.
Some months ago on an old version of the BD REbuilder I tried it and I never have any of this problem, the problem is that I don’t have any more that version and I don’t know what it was.
Somebody can help me?

http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3562/ou2.pngFrom the installation instructions and the first post of this thread:

Note to Windows 7 & Windows 8 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry.

[Antonio Branco]

From the installation instructions and the first post of this thread:

Yes, like I told I follow all the instructions and I have run BD Rebuilter as administrator.
But It seems that I resolved the problem, when I installed AVCHDcoder, I didn’t have any more this problem.
The only thing that I have now is, before compress my home Blu-ray movie made with Powerdirector to fit on a BD-9, with BD Rebuilter, I open it without problems with Nero Blu-ray player, and after compress it’s impossible to open it with Nero Blu-ray player.
PS: BD Rebuilter didn’t gave me any error to compress this Blu-ray movie.
Like I said, in old BD Rebuilter I never have this kind of problems, unfortunable I don’t remember what the version it was ok for me.
I already try to run some old versions to see if I find it, but they are not anymore running.

[colinhunt]

I ran a Quick-Play backup of The Killing season 3 disc 2 to see whether audio sync of last episode is affected. The audio sync is fine!

So, there's something going wrong when Movie-only process combines several m2ts files into a single one. That's when the audio sync of the last episode got messed up. Quick-Play does not combine files, so the last episode is an .m2ts of its own and the audio sync is fine.

Unfortunately the Quick-Play backup is unplayable, because:

That error only occurs when X264 fails in an attempt to encode the menu. By the way, the Quick authoring still works when you get it -- it just doesn't show a pop-up indicating what is playing next.

This one wouldn't play on any software players or hardware media players (e.g. Popcorn Hour); tested on 4 software players and 3 hardware players. They start loading the data but give up, as if someone had pressed Stop. Usually that means it won't work on a stand-alone player either so I saved the BD-R for something else.

I'd reinstall everything. There has to be something misconfigured on your system. I've done hundreds of Quick-Play backups in testing -- with no issues in the authoring or playback.

[omegaman7]

I almost ran a quick-play backup last night. But decided since Disc 1, of a series of backups had already been done via Multiavchd, and a particular image was used for a background, I should stick with it. But I may have a job coming up, where it will be ideal.

I'll probably be using BD-Rebuilder more. It's becoming clear that Dean may not be supporting Multiavchd anymore. He doesn't reply to his threads, and there are clearly bugs in his program.

Well, you'll certainly receive more donations from me. You clearly care about the development, for this gem of a program ;)

[varekai]

I'm hoping to eventually be able to support a similar reauthoring mechanism... not sure how far I will go, though.

I regulary use MultiAVCHD and I think it's a great software but it has some serious shortcomings/bugs.
If I keep it simple it will do it's job just fine but as soon as I'm trying to create a more complex menu bad things happen.

If you will develop a similar software I'm in for donations for shure! :D

PS/
It's been a long time since I made a donation... so thanks for all your work!

An interesting disc to look at might be "Chicago Live at the Greek". This is a 2 hour and 51 minute concert (!) that is separated into two playlists, each of which will fit easily on 25Gb BD discs, but because (I guess) they are linked to one simple menu with "Play" we can't make two discs each with the nice menu on it. You have to do "Movie only" and select the playlist you want, which works fine but you miss the "scene selection" menu which is important to get-at your fave songs.

The other authoring issue I encounter regularly is not being able to specify which audiotrack and which subtitle track to start the movie with.

[RobertM]

Can't you do a full backup but de-select the streams that you don't want?


Ah, I guess not. I only do 'movie-only' backups, and I thought you could blank out video streams like you can blank out audio streams.

What about changing the name of the vid stream that you want to blank, and replacing it with an alternate, very small vid file. Will BD-RB choke on that?

[laserfan]

I didn't try this, maybe it would work.

When trying to blank one of the two main playlists, this caused the other to blank as well. I would guess it's because they are linked by the menu.

[HomeDepot4]

Good Afternoon! So I have made countless backups with these settings and except for the incident with Taken 2 (now fixed!!!!!) I've never had a problem. Can't get A Good Day To Die Hard to work correctly... The sound is off by a few seconds no matter what I do. I've tried it many times. It is NOT off on the ripped folder... I've checked. Thanks for any assistance! :-)

Hello!

Just a quick question if I may please. I was backing up one of my large Blu-ray movies (the entire BR is about 43 Gigs - the movie takes up about 33 Gigs) I use the entire disc setting with 'Fast encode for extras' and I am using a full BD25 as the target size. I've de-selected all foreign language and unnecessary audio streams. I usually just use your 'Automatic' encode settings because that usually does an EXCELLENT job no matter what. I've come to trust that completely. And it chooses to do 2 pass encodes when it 'feels' it is necessary, which is just fine.

However, I was checking out this one, and although the primary movie takes up 33 Gigs and it is a very action oriented film, I was surprised that BDRB chose to use only one pass for the film itself. Doesn't that seem a bit odd with such a fairly large movie with a lot of fast visuals, or does that seem normal to you? Since it is shrinking it to fit a disc which holds roughly about 23 Gigs, that seems a bit odd. I GUESS I could override the settings and just de-select the one pass options to force it to use 2 pass, but normally it always does an AWESOME job and on my 50" Plasma the back up copies of whatever I do always look great!

Any thoughts?

Thanks kindly for any general opinions. I KNOW this is a vague question, but since you guys are WAY more educated with this program I thought I would ask what your impressions are about this.

Thanks!

That's exactly the power of x264. Many blu-rays are created with a higher bitrate to keep the details than is actually needed. From what i understood long time ago, bdrb first tackles this by taking small clips and finding out what bitrate is REALLY needed to keep details and strips the redundant ones, that change alone reduces file sizes considerably. If the file is then still projected to be too large for the destination, only THEN does it actually recode it.

BDRB uses a system of variables to determine if 1 pass or 2 pass is needed for best results, what type of quality setting will suffice. That's the beauty of x264. It can compress a full sized BD50 down to DVD 5 / 9 size with relative minor quality loss.

Excellent answer Mr. Ch3vr0n! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a nice, clear simple explanation of the concepts involved and how BDRB goes about it. That gives me a good idea of what is going on.

That is truly amazing what the x264 codec can do! Whoever came up with that should be canonized!

Cheers!

[yankeefan]

Hi, I am having the same trouble with sound being off by a few seconds. It only happens on some movies and it is usually at the end of the movie.

[DGenerateKane]

I've been having two issues lately with BDRB. I'm not sure when they started as I don't process a blu-ray very often, but I know they were happening before I replaced my hard drive with an SSD two months ago, and persisted with a fresh win 7 install.

The first is for whatever reason x264.exe is using 100% of all four of my cores, making my computer agonizingly slow while BDRB is running. I have the encoder set on idle priority, so I assume it shouldn't be utilizing all my resources. I'm fairly sure it didn't before at least, though my memory is less than stellar, so maybe this is expected behavior.

The second is I can't get it to burn the disc after encoding. I saw that ImgBurn opened and closed immediately, so I checked the log and this is the most recent one, though all are basically identical.

You can. You just have to double-click on the upper part of the streaams list to go into edit mode.

[RobertM]

You can. You just have to double-click on the upper part of the streaams list to go into edit mode.

That sounds perfect. But I just tried it (BD-RB v0.44.16) and I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried double-clicking everywhere in the streams list; on the 'stream' tab label, on the disc name text, the space to the right of the disc name, the icon to the left of the disc name, etc. Nothing seems to change, at least not visibly. Should a checkbox appear next to each stream?

[gonca]

You might have to put ENABLE_BLANKING=1 in the configuration

[laserfan]

Actually I believe it is

Oh, yeah... I've been meaning to make that the default and still haven't done so.

I originally had the enable_test option, thats why the edit, but after re-reading RobertM's post I thought he was referring to blanking, not movie and menus mode.

He was. Both blanking and movie-and-menus are enabled with that same hidden option.

[gonca]

I missed the fact that ENABLE_TEST did both options, My bad.

[DoctorDub]

I’m using Windows XP, SP3 to run BD Rebuilder 44.16 Tried to back up “Life of Pi” (NTSC). Got a “Job Completed” notation. ImgBurn said both burns (one to a Verbatim DVD-5 and one to a Maxell DVD+9) were successful but neither play on my LG BP 620 or Sony S350. I checked the BDMV folder in “Working” destination and saw that “index.bdmv” and “MovieObject.bdmv” appear as unknown applications. Are they supposed to be unknown applications? If not, what type of file should they be?

[Ch3vr0n]

that problem might have multiple reasons. Have you verified that your player even supports BD9? Just because you burn it onto a dvd9 doesn't make it a dvd as you've seen by the bdmv folder. What type of file should they be, well .bdmv files. That's a normal extension, BD's are not supposed to played back in file mode but only in disc mode. Another case might be that your player simply dislikes that crappy "maxell" brand. Does the original disc have a java menu (animated loading image), ifso your player perhaps supports BD9 but does not support bD9's that use java.

[DavidJH]

BD Rebuilder reported "Failed video encode" for a Movie-only copy of The Bourne Ultimatum.

The log file is shown below.
The odd thing is that I have uninstalled FFDSHOW and reinstalled the version linked from the instruction post. Yet the log output says it is not the recommended version.

It works for most other Blurays, so there seems to be something about the content. However, there's not much error detyail to go on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David.

[02:53:57] - Failed video encode, aborted

[HWK]

BD Rebuilder reported "Failed video encode" for a Movie-only copy of The Bourne Ultimatum.

The log file is shown below.
The odd thing is that I have uninstalled FFDSHOW and reinstalled the version linked from the instruction post. Yet the log output says it is not the recommended version.

It works for most other Blurays, so there seems to be something about the content. However, there's not much error detyail to go on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David.

VC-1 decoding is set incorrectly. Look at the instructions in the first post of this thread.

[Lathe]

I've been reading through these posts a lot and I noticed a little while back that Mr. JDobbs stated where it seemed that he doesn't like this encoder.

I can't remember where I read this, but I read that this encoder helps with interlaced VC-1 encodes and SUPPOSEDLY utilizes your 64 bit 4 core system better. So I have it selected in the setup menu.

However, now that I just read here that he doesn't like it and I think I saw earlier on this thread that he said it DOESN'T run any faster, I'm confused as to how I should have it set. Also, OTHERS here seem to swear by it and ALWAYS use it. So I am REALLY confused now...

Also, I THINK I read that if you select to use that filter that it nullifies the MULTIPROCESS option where you can set it to '2' is it I think, where it chooses what is best.

Now I DON'T know what to do in how to set up the encoding for the fastest, most efficient way... Should I de-select the LAVF option and put the MULTIPROCESS=2 back in the config file?

I am runnings Windows 8-64, I have 4 processors, and 8 Gigs of RAM.

I really appreciate any clarification that you could give me as to which setting is best.

Thank you!

I checked FFDSHOW settings. Here is a screenshot showing that VC-1 is set to wmv9 as required. But BD Rebuilder is saying it is not set correctly.

Upgrading to BD Rebuilder 0.44.16 seems to have fixed the failed video encode.

However, the resultant 00000.mt2s file has a dark green screen from the start, or various colour shades if you playback from elsewhere. I have seen this issue before with other Bluray copies and had to resort to using the original mt2s file. The playback is either in VLC or with a Dune HD media player. I do not think it's an artifact of VLC.

Here is the log for the copy:

Any ideas how to resolve the incorrect video?

[worknstiff]

When you load the BD into BD_Rebuilder right click and preview the Vid 000's and see if they play in MPC Classic. If you have the right codecs and FFDshow configured correctly then it will play, if not then you need to uninstall all the helper apps, delete the BD_Rebuilder folder directory and reboot your pc. Maybe not necessary but I always run a temp files and registry cleaner like the excellent (FREE) CCleaner and then follow EXACTLY the instruction's for installing BD_Rebuilder from the first page of this thread. I have had to do this at least three times over the period I first started using this program. It probably seems like over kill for a program that was working before but BD_Rebuilder is a very complex prog and sometimes just needs to be refreshed when it does not work correctly. It is just too complex to trouble shoot each and every part, just nuke it and start over. Hope this helps.

jdobbs,

The author of tsMuxeR has recently posted on the forum about updating the program to add 3D support.

Perhaps you might be interested to contact the author to fix any bugs you may have found while working with tsMuxeR. It might help you in developing BD-RB.

[madipav]

Something is wrong with the BD Rebuilder 0.44.16 because I open a Blu-ray format file with Nero Blu-Ray Player 12.0.17700 without problems and when I compress this file with BD Rebuilder 0.44.16 software it impossible to open it again with Nero Blu-Ray Player 12.0.17700.
I don’t know why this happens, perhaps is missing something on the BD Rebuilder 0.44.16?
Somebody can also try it?

[Ch3vr0n]

try a real player like PowerDVD or Arcsoft Totalmedia Theatre. Nero aint nothin but crappy bloatware

Seconded. Quite a few issues I've discovered in BD-RB are caused by tsMuxeR.

[AmigaFuture]

JDobbs does pretty well with getting around those challenges also. When we report them, do our best to make them repeatable and or he notices them. For tsMuxeR to evolve would probably ripple over to BD-RB.

@ Ch3vr0n
I noticed the different between transcoding and rerendering, that was a major point to me.

[yankeefan]

Has anyone had problems with the sound being off when you try to compress a movie? Had it happen to a few lately after many successful uses. The movie starts out fine then about quarter of the way the sound is off by a five seconds. And the last one a scene repeated, strange stuff.

[Ch3vr0n]

about that sound, bdrb doesn't change the sound volume. Check the original or your playback device. about that scene stuff, not a bdrb issue either. BDRB just recodes what's it being fed. That repeated scene is an indication of an improper decryption.

ooh and looks like the 3D support of tsmuxer is really getting into the dev stages now http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168539

[yankeefan]

With the sound being off the original is fine just after using bdrb the sound is delayed. Doesn't happen all the time. Happened on three movies around the same time.

I try again and see what happens I updated my decrypter.

This has been happening to me, I posted earlier about Die Hard V.... The rip is fine, I have checked that with a media streamer...

[DoctorM]

I was reading that adding "AUDIO_DIRECTSHOW=0" prevents ffdshow's mixer from changing the number of channels during recoding.
I don't see it by default in my .INI file. Is that now hardcoded into BD RB or does it still need to be added?
Is there a drawback to using that option?

Edit: And a quick question, what bitrate will be used for a mono source? Is it treated the same as stereo?

BD-RB always turns off the mixer when it encodes audio -- and then sets it back to its original value afterward.

A mono audio channel defaults to 112Kbs when reencoding to AC-3.

I just did a search on this thread... thanks for the info.

I was hoping to turn the mono track to stereo by adding audio=GetChannel(audio,1,1) to the audio script while the video was encoding.

I assume BDRB checks the number of channels and picks the bitrates while preparing. In which case I'll get 112Kbs stereo... which wouldn't be good.

I had a backup copy of "The Fifth Element" freeze the video on playback about two thirds of the way thru the movie, the audio continued on just fine.

This is my fourth movie backup, the first three played back just fine.

I verified that the original plays back fine. I am using a licensed version of AnyDVD HD, ImgBurn and the latest Beta version on BD-RB. I am using Verbatim-R #97339 BD 25GB blanks. The backup burn did not indicate that there were any problems. The burn made it to about 1/4" of the edge of the disc.

I got the same freeze results on both my PS3 and Oppo83 BD players with the latest firmware.

I did not keep any logs created during the backup process.

What is my likely problem?

Thank you!

[RobertM]

I've had this type of thing happen a few times. In each case the trouble was a bad rip. The original LOOKED fine, on casual inspection, but when I looked at the exact place where the freeze happened there was a glitch in the video. This glitch could make it through for playback, but it hung the video re-encode process.

After your rebuild completed did you take a look at the new, rebuilt files before you burned them? I always do that now, so that I can spot this type of problem before I spend a blank BD-R on them.

[DoctorM]

Cosmetic bug: Working with a directory of "D:\My Downloads\Incoming\MoveTitle\BDMV".
BD Rebuilder shows only "D:\My" in the "Source Path:" line.

Doesn't interfere with operation though.

It would sound the same anyway.

Just as a note, you can add AVISYNTH lines to the audio AVS using the filter editor and the "a:" prefix.

[RobertM]

Thank you!

When this problem has happened to me it was because of a bad rip. When BD-RB rebuilt the files the video encoder couldn't get past the glitch in the incoming data, so it lost its reference to the next frame data, and the video file became blank, or stuck, after the glitch while the audio continued.

So take a look at your new back-up disc and take note of the exact time where the video freezes. You'll want to explore this spot on both your original rip and your BD-RB rebuild files.

Play your original rip file and move to that spot in the film. Watch very closely to see if there is any hiccup in the playback at that spot. It could be a brief scrabbling of pixels, or a shudder in the motion, or something like that. If you detect any non-smoothness in the playback then a bad rip is almost certainly the culprit.

If you didn't detect a bad rip then repeat the process by inspecting the BD-RB rebuild file. If you detect a problem in this file, but not in the original rip, then it could be something has interfered with the rebuild process. This would be quite unusual, but possible nevertheless. Could be a power surge, hint of upcoming HDD failure, etc. If you don't detect a glitch in the rebuild file then your problem is most likely a bad burn.

So:
1. If there is a glitch in the rip then -> re-rip.
2. If there is a glitch in the rebuild then -> run BD-RB again.
3. If there is no glitch in the rebuild then -> burn another disc.

To check for this type of problem I now simply play back the rebuild files on my computer to make sure that there is video and in-synch audio at 3 positions in the stream; at the start, middle and end. If the video and audio are OK at all 3 positions in the rebuild then I will burn the disc.

[DoctorM]

It would sound the same anyway.

Just as a note, you can add AVISYNTH lines to the audio AVS using the filter editor and the "a:" prefix.

Where is the filter editor in BD RB? I'm now thinking of trying other changes. Does "v:" let you adjust the video as well then?

[jdobbs]

Where is the filter editor in BD RB? I'm now thinking of trying other changes. Does "v:" let you adjust the video as well then?It is in the SETUP dialog.

All settings that don't use the "a:" are assumed to be video. Some other prefixes:

i: means apply only to interlaced sources
p: means apply only to progressive sources
f: means apply only to the feature
e: means apply only to extras

The default of no prefix at all means apply it to all sources

They can be used together, for example:

f:a:Amplify(audio,1.25)

would mean to increase audio by 25% for the feature only.

OOOhhh. Click 'Use AVS Filters during encoding." and it pops open a new window. Sneaky.

Btw, I ran into something weird today. I got a generic Aften error (experienced a problem, had to close). After I clicked 'okay' it looked like rebuilder reattempted the encoding again. Everything seems to have turned out okay, but I still don't know what happened.

- Track 4352 (pol): Reencoding audio to AC3...
- [13:29:26] Processing audio tracks

I assume it's a thing for x264 to soften the image (and grain) to achieve lower bitrates (since I don't see any noise reducers in the script or options). My grainy test encoding to BD9 was scrubbed of almost all grain. I guess there are limits.

If it made it through with no errors -- then you should be ok.

x264 doesn't generally soften the image unless you have filters set to do that. But if you are outputting to a dramatically smaller size it may be possible.

[omegaman7]

"tn jim" Might I recommend getting a new reading drive, for ripping your discs. I had a few problems with a Lite-on iHES108(2). I still use it for scanning discs, or playing discs in real time, but I no longer trust it for burning or ripping. I may be retiring my oldest LG drive soon too. It recently completed ripping a disc, that had read errors. I was able to successfully rebuild it, but there were artifacts in the video stream. I'm not even sure I trust it with pristine condition discs.

[Yordan5]

jdobbs, It is probably a long shot however, once Roman has released a stable version of TsMuxeR with 3D muxing capabilities, would you consider incorporating this in BD RB?

Any help would be appreciated?

[thebuff]

To answer my own question - I've just tried another disc and it worked absolutely fine, which lead me to believe that it was a bad rip - will try those ones from scratch.

[AmigaFuture]

@thebuff

AnyDVD (HD) is very good. If the rip fails once, or more...check/clean the disks. If that fails, perhaps your optical drive needs the same....or replacement. I clean my drives often and rarely let the laser heads clunk/slam. Sure indicators of...challenges or....problems. Awareness of disk health before insertion helps much more than anything (family, friends, yourself..). Like a physical matter... Haha! Anyway... Glad to know you discovered it.

[omegaman7]

Indeed. I use an air can to blow off ALL discs before they go in a drive. And I carefully visually inspect them for fingerprints, and/or scratches. Scratches usually aren't the problem though. It's oils and/or dirt in a deep crevice.

[dfsooner]

Yes, of course.

The problem is that there currently isn't a freeware MVC encoder of which I'm aware.

Just for grins I checked out the newest beta of txMuxer to see if it supports IGS. It does not. This shortcoming and the problem with MIN_M2TS_SIZE not working correctly continues to give me problems with titles authored with TMPGenc Authoring Works.

[DoctorM]

I'm a bit confused, BDRB is demuxing the audio and video to .dts and .264 files in the WORKFILES folder.
It then generates a VID_00001.avs script that uses DirectShowSource on the original .M2TS file instead.

I assume the use of DSS is a fall back, but the System Inspection comes out Ok across the board.
What sort of things should I look for as causing this? What is the normal indexer that BDRB is supposed to be using?

The .264 (.MPV, VC1) is used only in the event reencoding isn't necessary, otherwise it is removed after the demux. For reencoding an AVS is preferable, because it can include filters etc. You can also access an M2TS more fluidly (it can be very tedious attempting to access a video stream outside a container).

An "indexer" is only used if you have DGDecNV installed on your system. But even in that case the original M2TS is used as the source within an AVS.

[DoctorM]

Okay, a lot of people seem to beat up the 'directshowsource' method of accessing AVC content. I expected something like ffmpegsource2.
Cool to know nothing went wrong.

[jdobbs]

Okay, a lot of people seem to beat up the 'directshowsource' method of accessing AVC content. I expected something like ffmpegsource2.
Cool to know nothing went wrong.FFMPEGSOURCE2 has problems, especially with VC-1 sources (interlacing, for example) unless it has changed recently (it's been a few months since I've tested it).

In my opinion AVISYNTH with DGDecNV is by far the best method for frame serving. DirectshowSource() would be my choice for second-best (unless frame accuracy in seeking was required, and it isn't in BD-RB)

Recently I tried to backup a BD with a AC3+ stream. The backup process "Movie Only" just ran fine but the video and audio streams of the backup were out of sync.

Is AC3+ supported?

Furthermore I tried to backup a BD using DGDecNV. In my case the backup process failed right after reencode the first video file and complete audio file. The encode failed message in the log is followed by the output of the inspect tool which in my case showed OK in any part. No other error messages could be found.

Did I miss something here? Any additional hidden option to set?

Sorry for asking this again, but could actually anybody try the Intel QuickSync accelerated FFDShow decoder. Please let me know if this works:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162442

Right now I'm using DGDecNV with a GT520. Is it actually possible that the picture quality gets a little worse with DGDecNV than using the ffdshow software decoder? No. I don't see how that would be possible.

I don't use BD-RB often, but today I tried making for Argo (US) a full Movie & Menus backup with the Edit Mode on. Was very fast, and worked quite well for the movie itself (especially the forced subtitles), but the disc has a full-length Secondary Video (popup) track, and I wonder about a couple things:

1. Up-front in the Edit mode, there was no way to De-select the Sec Video track, a 480p PIP
2. At the same time, there was also no way to Select the DTS Express stereo audio

So the result allows the playback of the PIP video, but there is no audio to accompany it.

Another odd thing is that this disc has many, many audio and subtitle tracks, and I opted to include only the Eng audio & subtitles (all of them), but at least with my Arcsoft TMT software player there is no way to quickly ID which of these tracks has been retained to select, because Every track is now listed as English. I suppose on my standalone players it would require that I cycle thru all 7 of the audiotracks and 16 of the subtitle tracks until I get to where I want to be. CORRECTION: My standalone player has no trouble identifying the blanked audio/sub tracks as whatever non-English they were--this problem strictly owes to Arcsoft TMT.

This is no big deal but the popup vid is a couple of GB in size (wasted, for lack of audio) which took some time for the program to deal with so I have to ask about it. If there's no way to keep/mux the DTS Express audio, shouldn't I be able de-select the secondary video. Has anyone else here tried backing-up this disc?

You can't remove the secondary video track, because that would be modifying the original authoring (which would cause issues in a full backup). You could probably blank it, though. I can't remember if I enabled that.

Thanks jdobbs, I'll check-out DTSX_ENABLE. Sorry I didn't use the proper term--yes I was trying to Blank the secondary vid, but couldn't make it have a red X. But I'll surely leave it in place if I can get some audio with it.

:)

[laserfan]

Hey if I want to quit BD-RB and assert DTSX_ENABLE and re-run my job so that it extracts the DTS Express audio, can I do that without starting-over from scratch, which otherwise would include the re-encode of video?

Or maybe I could just extract the DTSX audiotrack using tsMuxeR GUI and then tweak the .meta file myself and re-mux?

:confused:

:confused:No. You'll have to start from scratch.

TSMUXER won't recognize it. (Unless the new alpha has changed that). BD-RB has to demux/remux it manually itself.

Wowza. I didn't know yr software performed this magic--I thought we were all [totally, utterly] at the mercy of Roman/tsMuxeR for all we do.

Thanks for the quick response. As an aside, I was amazed at how quickly BD-RB made a backup of this disc for me, which included re-encoding the whole movie to fit a BD-25 disc. A coupla hours I think. My own 2-step x264 encodes take overnight!

Thank you.

Been using this for a couple of years and with this version(44.16) the last 3 all fail at the first video file encode after just a few min. Inspect show OK on all items. Installed all xtras exactly as the instructions say. So am going to try with 44.15. Update to follow.

Installed all xtras exactly as the instructions say. So am going to try with 44.15. Update to follow.It's working on thousands of other systems with no issues. That makes it highly improbable that it could be the software.

Something has changed on your system. It is likely another program that has modified Directshow or Directshow preferences or another critical system without your knowledge.

I'd recommend you uninstall and reinstall AVISYNTH, HAALI, and FFDSHOW.

If that isn't it -- I'd suspect a heat related issue.

[laserfan]

It took me another try or two to get all the blanks right, but ARGO completed with the PIP and DTSX audio working perfectly. Thanks! I guess I'm still puzzled why I was not able to BLANK this secondary program but no matter--no penalty paid in any way re: the movie itself. But in the end, I do have to remux this movie (only) again as I want/need to change one of the subtitles (remove SDH and re-position to fit the 2.40 AR).

I did BTW on the very first run get a Failed to encode error on the first video, a 720x480 interlaced (I believe) extra, and I only needed to un-check "Use DEINTERLACER on interlaced sources" and it worked. AFAICT the program on-disc is just fine, probably left as interlaced, I dunno. Anyway if "Use DEINT" is checked by default, maybe it shouldn't be...

Thanks again jdobbs.

I am on Windows 7From the first page of this thread and the installation instructions:Note to Windows 7 & Windows 8 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry. Your preferred codecs aren't being set -- or some other program is resetting them.

It's possible that you may have installed CODEC packs or software that changes your settings without your permission -- if so you need to dump them.

I tried what you said found some media programs in my directory and uninstalled them and cleaned the registry. It seem to work I am trying to encode now and I guess if I don´t get any error messages the problem are solved. I will update on this :thanks:

20 minutes would definitely allow for a substantial amount of heat. I would check your temps. I don't like seeing any temp over 58 - 60C. Unless it's the GPU. The graphics card can handle a great deal more.

An overclock could cause a stability issue as well.

[picotto]

I reinstalled every software and now it works again. Sorry :)

[jdobbs]

I reinstalled every software and now it works again. Sorry :)Check around for other software that may be interfering (CODEC packs etc.). Some packages are downright rude in the way they change settings or intercept normal CODEC flows without telling you. If you'd don't remove the offender it might happen again.

[ricoman]

I'm not a noob, but I'm clearly not as techy as some of the people here as a lot of the intercourse goes right over my head. Anyway, it seems that every couple of months I have to uninstall and reinstall BDRB, Haali, FFshow and avisyth to get BDRB to function. Last week I encoded Star Trek without issue, then this week I had fits with World War Z. I'm afraid I deleted the logfile, but it's the same as I've posted here a couple of times before, something about not enough buffer and a failure to encode. I run spybot and malawarebytes every week or 2, could that be removing something need to encode? You tell picotto to "check around for other software that might be interferring..." How do I go about that? Is there a list of "usual suspects" that I can search for. I'm kinda getting tired of doing this every month or so.
Thanks

ThanksNot really. If you have anything called a "CODEC pack" get rid of it. FFDSHOW has a CODEC for virtually everything under the sun -- and is all you ever really need.

I just did "World War Z" a couple of days ago -- no issues. Generally the "buffer" type messages are related to a bad rip, though. What are you using to rip? I used AnyDVD HD -- which in my opinion is head-and-shoulders above any other ripping software.

[ricoman]

Yes, I use AnyDVDHD. Everytime this has happened, I process the same rip again after uninstalling and reinstalling and it works without a problem. Same thing yesterday with WWZ, tried twice, no joy, then did the reinstall and it worked fine. That's the part that's confusing, I use the same rip so apparently it's something else. I don't believe I have any other codecs, unless it's called by some other name or contained in some other software or player.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to the most recent update of BD-RB (v0.44.17). Changes for this release:- Added code in movie-only mode that extracts
forced subtitles into an independent stream
and sets them to "selected" for playback.
- Added a new hidden option "FORCED_SUB_LANG"
that allows a user to select which language
is preferred for forced subs. The default
is "eng" -- and it will be also be used when
no forced subtitle is found in the preferred
language.
- Added routine to hard-encode forced subtitles
into non-DVD ALTERNATE output. It can also
include any subtitle that is selected to be
forced from the STREAMS list. Note: This
capability requires the installation of the
free external AVISYNTH filter SUPTITLE() and
its selection in the SETUP dialog. While the
SUPTITLE filter is free, it cannot be freely
distributed, so you must download it and
properly install it from this link:
http://www.zachsaw.com/?pg=suptitle_pgs_avisynth_plugin
- Implemented a workaround for DVD sources that
have video kept intact. Some DVDs have the
embedded video ratio incorrectly set (and it
is overridden by the IFO file). This fixes
that issue.
- Corrected an issue in which attempting to import
small video files can result in Error 00009 at
2501.
- Corrected an issue related to importing variable
fps video (e.g. iPhone).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r2358).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r2358).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to the most recent update of BD-RB (v0.44.17). Changes for this release:[code]- Added code in movie-only mode that extracts
forced subtitles into an independent stream
and sets them to "selected" for playback.
- Added a new hidden option "FORCED_SUB_LANG"
that allows a user to select which language
is preferred for forced subs. The default
is "eng" -- and it will be also be used when
no forced subtitle is found in the preferred
language.

Thank you so much for the continued improvements of this great program.
The question I have is about the ambiguity of some 3-letter language code like "ger" or "deu" for German. Can I add both codes like "ger;deu"?

@sojourner353

That's a weird looking disc. It looks like almost all of the individual files are taking less than second to encode. Either they're only a few frames each -- or the encodes are failing and it isn't being caught.

I looked in the "WORKFILES" folder and, sure enough, the referenced *.264 file wasn't there.

I noticed that the combined size of all the various parts didn't look too big, so I ran it again with a larger target size (so that it wouldn't re-encode) and it completed fine that time, and the size came in at only about 20GB.

I've run several rebuilds since with no problem, but they are simpler processes - mostly a single m2ts file. I had the feeling that there may be a glitch here with titles that comprise lots of parts. I could run it again if that would be useful for testing purposes.

[sojourner353]

@jdobbs

Yeah I have had a few discs like this before but they usually finish without issues, there is 2 cuts of the main movie on it so that's why I am trying a full backup, doing the main movie alone it contains 16 files it needs to work with but it does complete, I might have to do both movies separate to keep both, it's a strange one.

Try setting MULTIPROCESS=0 in the INI file and let me know if that fixes it.

Thank you so much for the continued improvements of this great program.
The question I have is about the ambiguity of some 3-letter language code like "ger" or "deu" for German. Can I add both codes like "ger;deu"? I was just adding that multiple-selection feature, and I noticed there was an issue in selecting an alternate forced-subtitle language in v0.44.17. You always end up with English forced subs (if they are there). I've fixed it for the next release.

[sojourner353]

Try setting MULTIPROCESS=0 in the INI file and let me know if that fixes it.

Confirm setting MULTIPROCESS=0 in the INI file did the trick, thanks.

[jdobbs]

Confirm setting MULTIPROCESS=0 in the INI file did the trick, thanks.I'll have to look at that one and see if it was trying to split a file a file for multiprocessing that was too small to split.

[Lathe]

I am REALLY confused about this. I read the updated features in the 2nd to last version I think. And I'm pretty SURE that it said that you can imports a NUMBER of DVDs together as long as they are in the same folder.

So, I have 3 DVDs, DVD-A's to be precise, but I THINK the structure is the same as a normal DVD. I have 3 folders, each with the complete DVD structure inside (IFO, VOB's, etc.) Obviously within the same folder, I cannot call ALL of them 'VIDEO_TS', so they have the name of each album instead, and all 3 are in the same folder which is called by the name of the group. But, when I go to import either the folder containing all 3 DVD folders OR if I try to import any one of them individually, I get an error saying 'Selected source is not a DVD format'

Weird, it wouldn't accept ANY of the folders with the DVD content inside of it. So, I changed the name of ONE of the folders containing the DVD structure of one of the albums to 'VIDEO_TS' and lo and behold, when I selected the parent folder of the 3 albums it DID accept the one folder that I changed the name to 'VIDEO_TS' and loaded it! But, it did NOT recognize the other two. Again, I cannot name ALL 3 folders within the same parent folder 'VIDEO_TS', so I tried creating folders within the album title folders and naming THEM 'VIDEO_TS' and I'm getting the exact same error that I got before and it is not accepting any of them.

Very strange because it accepted the first album and the structures in all 3 folders are the same, but I cannot name ALL of them 'VIDEO_TS'. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

(edit)

Actually, after creating a folder called 'VIDEO_TS' in each album folder and then putting the DVD structure in those and thereby having a 'VIDEO_TS' folder as a subfolder of each album, THEN when I went back and used the 'browse' tab instead of the File-Import tab and selected the Group Parent folder, it DID indeed recognize all 3 albums and loaded them. So, I don't know exactly WHY it did that after my creating the 2nd level of 'VIDEO_TS' folders or why using the 'Browse' button worked, but somehow it did.

Heh, after going through all that, I noticed that the total size of the content which is SUPPOSED to be 3 dual-layer DVD-A's was only around 3.4 Gigs I was mystified. But then I realized that after extracting the DVD folders from the original ISO images, I bloody FORGOT to add the 'AUDIO' folders which had about half of the information! Bright one! Anyway, I'm now going back WITH the AUDIO folders alongside the 'VIDEO_TS' folders and I will see what I get :)

At least in my stumbling around I somehow figured out how to get it to recognize and load the DVDs.

(edit 2)

Well, sadly after doing all that, it did NOT recognize the 'AUDIO_TS' folders or the content in them. I STILL got about a 3.4 Gig result :( Maybe it just doesn't recognize the high end Audio in the AUDIO_TS folders for some reason. I got the DTS 1500 mixes okay, but not the higher quality audio. I guess I'm just gonna hafta burn them separately like usual. Perhaps BDRB will recognize REGULAR DVD movies or DVD concerts as opposed to DVD-A discs if I try to group them together next time.

If anyone has any further insights, please by all means let me know.

Thanks kindly!

[gonca]

@Lathe

BAND A
DVD a DVD b DVD c
Video_TS Video_TS Video_TS

This is the structure for importing multiple DVD's. AUDIO_TS folders tend to be empty.

Check keep hd audio in set up and enter KEEP_HD_LPCM=1 into the configuration.

[jdobbs]

@Lathe

BD-RB imports video DVDs. The AUDIO_TS folder is ignored.

@Lathe

BD-RB imports video DVDs. The AUDIO_TS folder is ignored.

Yeah, I kinda thought so... I figured I was probably pushing it trying DVD-A's

Thanks kindly to both of you for taking the time to reply! Thanks Gonca for the detailed instructions; I think I finally stumbled onto that... :)

Appreciate the excellent addition of that feature though JDobbs; brilliant and extremely useful idea!

[ricoman]

Failed to rebuild message below. I uninstalled and reinstalled FFshow, Haaili and Avisynth and BDRB with the same results. I would appreciate any help. I will try a different movie to see if it's a bad rip.
thanks.

I've tried many things: Upgraded from 44.16 to 44.17, renaming and moving to make the path shorter, adding MULTIPROCESS=0 to the .INI, changing playlists, LAVF, used Win8 and Win7 (same computer) and Vista (older computer and older BD-RB), removing the 05000 folder from the JAR folder, etc. Running inspect gives all oks. Not much info found searching this thread, Doom9, or Google.

This is from a later run after I tried moving BD-RD from C:\Program Files (x86) to C:\. The only other change was the working folder (to keep from overwriting the other files).

Has anyone done a movie-only backup of Breaking Dawn Part 2? Any suggestion on how I should proceed?

As a test I tried another BD and I was able to get The Dark Knight rises to work but the 3 listed above no luck. I have not had any changes to the system. Any ideas what is going on?

[Ch3vr0n]

afaik that buffer issue points to a corrupt rip

[AmigaFuture]

I'm thinking that also. Dysfunctional rip.

[jdobbs]

@im_etten

I've done both "Oblivion" and "Olympus Has Fallen" with no issues. I ripped with AnyDVD HD.

Hi,

I generally use BD-Rebuilder for making - 2 Pass Target Size - MKV's.
When i open a 2-pass MKV with MediaInfo and i look at the encoding settings i got this:
Encoding settings: cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:0:0 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=8 / ....... vbv_maxrate=15000 / vbv_bufsize=15000 ...

When i set BD-Rebuilder to CRF 19, the encoding settings are almost the same except: vbv_maxrate=30000 / vbv_bufsize=30000.

I would like to have the same vbv_maxrate and vbv_bufsize (30000) for a 2-pass MKV encoding. Or 35000 - 30000 as in a BD Output.
Is it possible to set that in BD-Rebuilder?

Best regards.

Best regards.Currently for 2 pass BD-RB will look at your bitrate and it will only boost the buffer/maxrate higher if you average bitrate is greater than 12Mbs (12000). Otherwise you are you'd be creating a buffer that is greater than 2 seconds at the average bitrate -- which seems large.

The CRF encodes are done at the higher max rate & buffer because it is unpredictable what actual average rate will be needed to hit your quality level.

Either way -- if you're playing off a hard drive, fast network, or aren't streaming off a limited network the higher buffer isn't really needed and it can delay the video start.

With that said -- I can always add a hidden variable that lets you set your own max_rate/vbv_size.

Is there a specific reason you need the larger buffer? Are you experiencing buffer issues of some type?

[Glarioo]

I watch those MKV's with a Dune mediaplayer (built-in hard disk) on a 40 inch led tv. Did some testing and it seems to me, that the one with the higher vbv_maxrate has a slightly better quality. Bitrate's of the movie (The Great Gatsby) are about the same (+- 8600 Kbs). That looks a bit strange to me, because i thought that a 2-pass encoding gives better quality than a CRF encoding.
I'd once had on the Dune an buffer underrun, with vbv_maxrate and vbv_bufsize=15000, but i think it wasn't a BD-Rebuiler problem.
You're suggestion to add an hidden option to set "manually" vbv_maxrate and vbv_bufsize for a 2-pass MKV encoding; that's a great idea.

Best regards.

[jdobbs]

Two pass doesn't necessarily give better quality -- it just makes sure the output size is predictable. That's important when you have to fit your output on a DVD or BD disc, but not really that important for most MKV applications. It's more accurate to say that 2-pass gives the best quality available at a given average bitrate and CRF gives the most consistent quality level (keeping the Q about the same no matter how complex the picture) but with lots of variability in output size. The max bitrate would make a difference only in the most complex picture elements (assuming it is reasonable) -- and that would apply to both methods.

MKV vbv buffer/maxrate settings will be available in the next release. Be careful, though, you don't want to set the max bitrate too high. I used the 30Mbs value because it can be supported within the limitations of a blu-ray disc (e.g. storing MKVs on a BD-R). You'd likely have to increase resolution beyond 1080p to need more than that.

[Glarioo]

"MKV vbv buffer/maxrate settings will be available in the next release." Thanks Mr. Jdobbs!
And I will keep in mind your advice, that the value of the vbv buffer/maxrate does not exceed 30000.

Don't those audio setting prevent the re-encoding of the audio? If you keep the HD audio tracks then you'll have no room left for the video in a target that small.


Woah,... did something change in your post from when I originally looked at it? It thought you originally had the target size set for a single-layer DVD (<5GB).

But being as it now has a target size of 25GB then,... I dunno. I did a movie-only backup of that title with success.

Wakko, your input source is larger than the BD-50 standard, eh?

[JCKitchens1]

Since version 44.15, I have been experiencing "Not Rersponding" at the top of the window when it reaches 100% of extracting each video. Oddly this occurs when using the faster BD-Rebuilder settings. Even that has exceptions. I used it on one that had 39 parts. One through thirty-six hung on extracting the video, but thirty-seven through thirty-nine went through fine. I noticed they were the three largest videos as well. Thankfully, BD-Rebuilder will restart from where it left off, but this requires babysitting it through all the hangs. I was hoping that 44.17 would fix the problem, but it didn't. After going through two tries, I decided to set it to the slower two pass setting and it workes just fine. Any suggestions on what I can check to eliminate this problem. I don't mind using the slower settings, but using the faster settings would be nice from time to time...

thank you very much

[JCKitchens1]

I reinstalled everything, and I used his inspect program to verify all is well. It got "OK" on everything. If 44.14 hadn't expired, I would go back to that and see if it still worked. At least the slower settings work...

[sytyguy]

I believe you could set the system date to the date of that older version and then run it.

Using BD Rebuilder v.44.17, I tried encoding Star Trek 1 as a movie-only MKV container 1920*1080 640kbs DD5.1 file. After the extracting A/V streans completes I get a "Stop Statement Encountered" error box and the program terminates.

On a different note, is there any way to get BD Rebuilder to output a MPEG-2 file at a quality and resolution equal to the original Blu-Ray, preferably with burned-in forced subtitles if there are any? I like to load my blu-rays to my server which serves as a movie library watchable on my Tivo.

[Edit] Well, the good news is that I found it. The bad news is that it was encountered because an extracted SUP file was corrupt. It contained a segment code that isn't defined in the BD standard...

I will check again to see if there is a better way to transfer AVC files to the Tivo. When I've tried transferring AVC in the past, the transfer software transcoded AVC on the fly to Mpeg2. Since the Tivo can play AVC, that seems a waste of resources that also bogs the server down some. It doesn't transcode MPEG-2. Thanks!

TiVo Desktop doesn't support streaming ("Transcoding") without buying the "Plus" part of the Desktop program. There are other ways, probably but since I use my LG player and external USB Hard Drives with TV & LG player, I haven't investigated further into streaming to TiVo HD.
If you have edited MPG shows on the hard drive (VideoReDo/TVSuite), yes, TiVo Desktop (without "Plus") will transfer them.

@ roadhowl

May I currently suggest converting the MKV's to MPG via VLC? If you change the default MPEG-2 settings you could set it to keep the, if you've kept them, original AC-3. Subtitles are also possible. Use MKVExtract. It does do "Burn In" it looks like. I haven't used that part of VLC, so...

Looking forward to this, as I've had nothing but problems with Quick-Play. It's amazing, really: 4 different PCs, all running Windows 7 64-bit, all using only the approved software from post 1, and none of them have ever managed to create a proper Quick-Play backup. Boggles the mind.

It never ever creates/copies the menu. A few times the resulting backup has played despite the error, but without menus, like a movie-only backup. I wonder if it's something in my set-up, a rare combination of ticked boxes etc. that causes it.

I wonder if it's something in my set-up, a rare combination of ticked boxes etc. that causes it.Typically it will start and play without the popup pseudo-menu. You get to that by pushing the MENU button on the remote. If there is only one title that meets the minimum-playlist-length criteria, then it will work the same as a movie-only backup. There's no need for a menu when there is only one item.

In the next release it will do the same unless there are several titles -- in that case it will go to the menu at startup.

I recall you sharing that bit of info before. Still, it's pretty sweet to know you're updating it to be more interactive. By interactive I'm thinking you mean, press the MENU button and now you're able to select which in the list to view?
I've also noticed the repeats, I'm pleased to test that when released.

Thanks very much!

I've tested with VLC 2.0.8 and I'm unable to have it convert an MKV BD-RB created to MPEG-2 that my TiVo HD will accept for transfer and play. I've tried different settings, and...nada... Transfer fails. I'm using TiVo Desktop 2.8.3 with the "hack" from the TiVo Forum to make the software transfer files correctly. However, I am using my TVSuite V4 (VideoReDo) to produce an MPG with 1080 and AC-3 but Closed Captioning (SRT) and SUP (Blu-ray Subtitles) are not retained. It doesn't provide a Burn-In option that I can find, where as VLC would. Yet, it does play through my TiVo after rerender and listed within the TiVo Video Share for the Desktop program; not using Plus.

PM me if you wan to talk more...as I want to keep On Topic here. I write the above in hopes it'll help someone else. I'm going to check some other programs to see if something will keep SRT as Closed Captions. It's been a fun experience.

I've noticed that since installing the older/recommended version of Haali has caused my playback of mp4 files to be out of sync.

I'm letting my player act as splitter in the mean time to fix this, but are there plans to let BDRB use a more recent version of Haali?

Yeah, I've been doing a similar process in the past. The reason I asked about MPEG2 from BD Rebuilder is that there is a MKV setting that already does part of what I need; convert the Blu-Ray to AC3 and burn in forced subs. But then I have to process the whole file again to go from MKV to MPEG2 using something like VideoRedo. If BD Rebuilder output MPEG2, it would be a perfect one-shot tool for me.

Hello,

when setup the audio and subtitle streams via the bd gui (by clicking on a stream) and then add this job to the batch queue, these settings are only recognized for the video file where the settings have been made.
Example: 1. Under Setup choose the language English for audio and subtitle.
2. Under BD GUI unset English und set for example Spanish instead.
3. Add this setting to batch queue
4. Compare the options for the audio und subtitle settings in the bdbatch.ini file (option AUDIO=... and SUBS=... )

Of course you could only see this effect, if the whole video consists of multiple video files not just one.

Is this a feature or a bug?

[g00g]

The SETUP screen's "convert to HD 720p" only applies to BD output. The size of ALTERNATE is determined by the preset you've chosen.

If the size 1280*720 of ALTERNATE is chosen by an input of a SD DVD input, i got the following error: PopUp Window, which tells me that the h.264 encoder has a problem.

If I set "convert to HD 720p" this error does not appear.

Do I need to use another setup for upscaling von SD to HD in ALTERNATE menu?

[g00g]

It SHOULD only apply to the job where the settings were made. Settings only apply to jobs from that point until they are changed again -- you don't want previously added Batch jobs to be changed.

I don't want to change previously added batch jobs.
If you look on the bd gui stream tab while a video is loaded in Movie Only mode and if the video consists of multiple video files (VIDs), then the settings you can manually change are just for one VID file. If the general settings under Setup differ from your manual setup in the bd gui stream tab and you choose "add current project to batch queue", the entries AUDIO and SUBS contains the settings for each VID file of the video. But the manuall setting in the bd gui stream tab is only recognized for the VID file which is visible in the bg gui stream tab.

Sorry, if I can not explain this more precisiously.

I'm using the newer Haali 20130623 version (just to be able to go 64-bit in AVCHDcoder). And it works 99% of the time for me. Very rarely I get an error and the encode stops. I just fire it up again and it continues. With the recomennded version I have 100% successrate. So the new version isn't completely stable with BD-RB. Atleast for me.

If you are talking about Movie-only and seamless branching, the audio and subtitles you see in the one VID affects all the other VIDs. In other words, X out an audio stream in that one VID and it is automatically Xed out for all the VIDs

I am glad someone brought up forced subtitles again. I am just plain confused how these work. Using Win7 MCE to play movies, my forced subtitles are hit and miss, mostly miss. When the movie gets run through BDRebuilder, I use movie only, keep only the English sound track and include all of the subtitle versions. The movie plays in VLC with the English subtitles always on. Is there a setting I am missing in BDR and or MCE?

I believe that with VLC you merely right-click the screen and de-select 'Subtitles' which I THINK is usually selected by default. You absolutely should be able to turn the subs off by doing that or perhaps set it that way to stay in the 'Preferences'.

[AmigaFuture]

@ Lathe

Subtitles aren't always displayed automatically by VLC. VLC checks the flag within the MKV container and displays them accordingly. :-) If it's outside MKV it might display automatically.

Hi first off I would like to say thank you for making this program its awesome. I would like to know if there are any plan in the future to have the option to use the gpu to encode instead of using the cpu ? I am sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but I think it would make the encoding process so much faster.

I've had a strange error. I used BD Rebuilder 44.17 to process the Blu-ray of Star Trek Generations into a 1920x1080 MKV file with 640kbs AC3. It seemed to work ok and the file seemed the correct length, but the processed video in the MKV file essentially "froze" on a particular frame and never changed that frame for the rest of the movie length. The sound seemed to process correctly.

Bad rip probably. I've had trouble like that before. One of my optical drives ignored a read error. Ripped it with a different drive, and voila! You may not notice a problem with the ripped files either. The applications however do notice it.

BD-RB in Edit mode, with English checked under "Audio Langs to Keep" under Setup: In the Feature, de-select any of the "extra" English audiotracks, then Save as Project. Quit BD-RB. Launch BD-RB again and the Open Project i.e. the .epr you just saved. The audio track deselected before is selected again.

This same issue exists for the Subtitles i.e. de-select a sub and save the project, reload the project and the sub is selected again.

Hmm you mean we can't use Projects in Edit mode then? Not now, not ever?

If it can't be done for some technical reason, maybe it would help the next guy to (simply?) grey-out the Save Project menu item when "Movie & Menus (Auto-blank Extras)" is checked (though I guess the worst that can happen is that extra audiotracks would reduce the bits available for other stuff).

I though you were talking about audio/subtitle selections that were being unchecked...

Sorry for the lack of clarity on my part.. I prefer to use MCE to organize and play the movies. Sometimes the forced subtitles show up.. more often they do not show up. Is there a setting in MCE or BDR I should using? e.g District 9, no subtitles. Pretty hard to watch without them. I re-ripped it, tried different RBD settings, I know jdobbs uses this as a test movie... I am doing something wrong. Any insights how to get forced subtitles to show up every time they are used in every movie?
