BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[vwpassion]

You're not going through a network connection to the drive are you? I ran into a similar issue a while back that was similar. But it (TSMUXER) worked correctly when the drive was local. I never figured it out -- and didn't see it again, so I put it on a back-burner.

No. It's a local drive.

[jdobbs]

No. It's a local drive.Could you try doing the mux manually from the command line? I'd like to see what error is being generated. The .META file that BD-RB creates should be in the working directory for each M2TS file. The format for the muxing command line is:

x:\pathtoBD-RB\tools\tsmuxer.exe x:\pathto\MUX_000XX.META x:\TMP

x:\pathto of course changes based upon where you put BD-RB and where you want it to output.

[Easy123]

So, ran a complete BD Backup that Night. Also tested the "Resume Feature", for which I interrupted an Encode and it continued. After the last Audio reencoding, rebuild fails with "Run-Time Error 9: Subscript out of range". No chance to take a look at the log because Application was simply shut down. System log only tells that the Application "hung" and was terminated. LASTCMD.TXT contains the Instruction to reencode the Main Movie (00000.m2ts).

My System:

AMD Phenom 9550, 4GB RAM, Vista x32 (SP1)

Sorry to report a new glitch. I abandoned A few good men and have tried Dirty Harry (simpler structure). Things start well (so hopefully this proves my codecs are now working OK), until I get to the 4th m2ts where at the end of encoding I get a crash message for "wavi.exe". Rebuilder error is ReencodeAudio 00006 and then runtime error 424 - object required. Might be due to AnyDVD settings so I will try another.

[jdobbs]

@vwpassion

Thanks for the post. I think I see the problem there. Apparently I must have used formatting for output of the framerate that adjusts for european decimals... I think it should say "23.976" in the .META rather than "23,976". Can you manually modify it and see what happens?

Thanks.

WAVI accepts input from AVS files so BD-RB can reencode them. Can you try to playback the AVS associated with that audio file (it should be an AVS in the WORKFILES directory that starts with "AUD_" followed by the M2TS number.

Yep, you're spot on. When I change it to "23.976" the mux is successful. :)

Will do after I finish another trial with movie test3 (Speed). A question on this seems important here - in the early days of Rebuilder I remember we had issues when vob editors and strippers were used as pre processors. AnyDVD's facility to remove "Unwanted Extras" may be an issue - of the trials you have been running, to what extent have you ripped "clean" or with pre processing applied - this is probably the root cause of many of the prelimanry issues we are discussing here.

[laserfan]

I'm not sure what happened, but now when I start BD rebuilder and point it to a mounted ISO of my decrypted Blu-ray (Cowboy Bebop Movie), it pops up and says "Run-time error '6': Overflow."I had started BD-RB on a mounted BD disc and it appeared to be working fine, though I aborted it after I observed it was working (would otherwise take a day or two to complete for my P4). What I really wanted to see was his Pass 1 and Pass 2 commands but I didn't let it run past Pass 1.

Later I thought to try & open a smaller Blu-ray folder structure I'd made already on my hdd (w/BDMV and CERT folders, not on a DVD5/9) and I got the same run-time error as Dark.

Anyway just thought I'd chime-in, and also say "Thanks!" to jdobbs for putting this present under our trees... :)

[jdobbs]

Thanks.I found this and fixed it for the next release. Dumb error...

[Chefkoch_ico]

So it sounds like the problem is in the remux. Can you try to run it again and say "yes" when it asks if you want to continue from the last encode? It should try to mux again (only) unless you have changes some settings. If it warns "delete all files?" then it means the settings have changes -- saying yes will start the encoding over again (which probably isn't what you want to do).

Hmmm... maybe I should add a "two click mode"...

I think thats my problem too. It was 23,976, when i changed to 23.976 it was muxing.

@Jdobbs

Since I already had the movie on my hard drive, I tested on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I removed all by the English audio track (True HD), and all but English subtitles.

It works! Playback is very smooth on Arcsoft Total Media Theater. I'll try a burned copy on a set top box (I use a HTPC, so I don't have a regular set top at my disposal right now). To select an audio track I've removed, the English stream continues to play--much as the audio remap feature in DVD Rebuilder. Subs worked as expected, unless I were to select a stream that I had removed--but to do so resulted in no crashes or glitches.

So for a first trial, I have no bugs to report to you. Bravo! I have one question, however: In your current method of AC3 re-compression, does it retain 5.1 mapping, or does it down-mix to stereo? Currently, my surround sound unit is down, so I couldn't tell during my playback and function tests.

[Edit] Whoops. While testing the output, I had closed down BD Rebuilder. To try and reopen the program again, I'm greeted with "Onepass264, Run-time Error '9.' Subscript out of range." I can't post any log since none was created; the error occurs when BD Rebuilder is trying to open.

32-bit Windows MCE 2005, AMD Phenom 9550 quad-core processor, MSI DKA790GX Mobo, 4GB Dominator Cosair Memory (seen by operating system as 3.5GB). Relatively fresh install, with current versions of AVIsynth, Ripbot264, FFdshow, Nero 9 Ultra, DVD Rebuilder Pro, BD Rebuilder beta, Slysoft AnyDVDHD, and Haali Media Splitter. Not sure if the system specs help, but hey!

[SpazzHH]

Where is it in the log? Does it happen when you select it, or when you try to run it?

I had this run-time error 6 on a mounted image using Virtual Clone Drive. Oddly enough it seems to happen at the audio multiplexing stage?

It sounds like we're making progress. I wonder if there is a way I can programatically enable it?

[SpazzHH]

Good. It sounds like we're making progress. I wonder if there is a way I can programatically enable it?

Just a stab in the dark here, but would that be easier, or perhaps a way to use the already enabled codecs that pre-exist? I mean AVS files play fine. Does the way you do things with BD-RB actually require that it be ffdshow's decoder that gets used. There are plenty of other decoders on my system besides that one, or the avs files wouldn't play. Right?

[Capsbackup]

Just completed a full backup of U571, NTSC. Though BD-RB completed succesful, all is not well. Original - 19.9GB, BD-RB - 4.10GB. Burned to DVD+RW with IMGBurn and played back on Sony BDP-BX1. Loads to menu, but menu video pauses and audio only plays for a few seconds before stopping and then starting again. Menu video remains a still image. Selecting play starts the movie and the video quality is beautiful, but there is no audio or subtitles. Chapter selection works fine as does FF/RW. Inside of WORKFILES folder there is an audio file that is 372MB AC3 448KBPS corresponding to the main M2TS and plays and sounds fine. I reload the BD-RB M2TS into tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b) and it sees the audio and subtitle files, but the sound and subs are not displayed on playback. Let me know if I can provide any other info.

[turbojet]

TARGET_SIZE=4369 and TARGETSIZE=4470 both gave Target BD size: 4.27 GB and Bitrate: 3,067 Kbs
I double checked the bitrate in lastcmd.txt so it seems TARGET_SIZE in the ini gets ignored and the defaults for settings>options> target is always used. This is also the case with DVD9 target.

For quick switching between DVD5 and DVD9 could this setting be in settings>target>custom size or something like that and have the ability to save custom sizes in MB?

[Sharc]

In a currently running test (full BD backup onto BD5) it looks as is everything is encoded in 2-pass mode, although I selected "Quicker" Encode for Extras. I would expect that Extras should then be encoded in crf (1-pass) mode, right? Could this be related to the observation reported in other posts that there is sometimes a problem with the stream discrimination (main feature vs extras)?
Btw, the Extras get a very low bitrate in the order of 500 ... 800 kbps, means the quality is not too exciting....
The Main Feature in this case is the stream 00000.mts.

When you say "sound and subs are not displayed on playback" what do you mean?

The Main Feature in this case is the stream 00000.mts.When it is selected there are several decisions made. One is based on how much of the disc is extras and another if the original extra's M2TS is greater than 5GB. When things get tight it tries to get as much out of the encode as possible -- that's probably why it is doing two pass.

500 - 800Kbs is pretty low. I assume these are SD, eh?

[jdobbs]

When I select the drive for input.

What log are you referring to? I don't see any log file in the BD Rebuilder folder.

Edit: OK, and now the error has magically gone away after repeating the same steps 5 times, but it won't recognize my BD disk even though it worked yesterday... rather odd. (nothing shows up in what should be the list of video tracks/audio tracks).
What's happening with this now? Actually the log is in the WORKING directory... but based on what you're saying it probably isn't much help.

[TBL]

I finally tried the program, but couldn't get it to work. I installed the latest ffdshow (resetting the settings) and haali splitter.

When I press backup, it gives the following message:


BD Rebuilder experienced an error [11:24:58] ExtractAudioSubs() 00013

After that:

---------------------------
OnePass264
---------------------------
Run-time error '424':

Object required


Then it closes the program. If I disable all of the audio streams, it will begin encoding but will complain about the beforementioned comma in .meta file.

I can play both video and audio from .avs files with MPC.


P.S. Oh, almost forgot. It gives the same error with movie only and full backup. Tried also with v0.17.10

[Sharc]

Oh I see, it is not a bug then, but a feature. Thanks for explaining.

The 500 .... 700 kbps clips are 1920x1080 (original VC-1). Some of these get about 1200 kbps which makes these look reasonably good for Extras, wherease the lowest one gets 402 kbps only. I assume the bitrate is allocated in proportion to the original bitrate? Maybe some kind of redistribution will be needed in future ..... ;)
The planned resizing to 720p will alos help in such cases, I guess.

[jdobbs]

@TBL

I just updated the first post in this thread with v0.17.10 which makes a couple of minor fixes. Try that one.

All you need to replace is the BD_REBUILDER.EXE file.

[TBL]

@jdobbs

I just tried the new version, sorry to say that the same error still occurs.

I hate to think of what a 1920x1080 may look like at 500kbs, though. My guess is that they put the bitrate at a point that was barely acceptable on the original -- and reducing just isn't a good idea.

Maybe I should change it so it does the "quick pass" on extras anyway. It still isn't great, as the CRF would be fairly high... but its probably better than what you're getting now. The downside is that the extra bandwidth has to come from somewhere -- and that somewhere is the feature.

The lowest Extra I got just now is 345 kbps for the original at 16 Mbps.
Perhaps a strategy could be to encode all Extras at a fixed e.g. ini-file user selectable CRF (default 33 or so) and allocate the remaining disk space to the feature. Or perhaps set a minimum bitrate of say 1200 kbps just in order to prevent 300... 500 kbps "accidents".
I understand that this thread is not intended for discussing improvements, though.:D

Added:
After all, it is absolutely amazing what the x264 is still capable to produce with only 345 kbps @ 1920 x 1080.

[vwpassion]

Besides all the bugs I have to report a success as well. I successfully backed up "The Kite Runner" Region B on a BD9, however the size is about 300 MB short of what can actually fit on a BD9 (7836MB). I assume the sizing is something you will fix in later and more stable versions of BD-RB? As turobojet suggested I would also appreciate a custom size option, even if it may not be 100% accurate. Going to try the new version now on one of the discs that had bad muxes due to the "23,976" bug.

[TBL]

I tried to change my regional settings to English, one reason was the comma thing so I thought to test it. Couldn't hurt.. And it actually is now encoding nicely, I will post the results later on :)

[jdobbs]

The comma thing should be fixed in 0.17.10 (posted earlier today).

[jdobbs]

I've tried numerous discs and I can't repeat a condition in which the wrong MPLS is selectd for MOVIE-ONLY. Can someone provide me with an NTSC title to use as an example?

[EDIT] Never mind. I found one. It has been fixed.

[jdobbs]

TARGET_SIZE=4369 and TARGETSIZE=4470 both gave Target BD size: 4.27 GB and Bitrate: 3,067 Kbs
I double checked the bitrate in lastcmd.txt so it seems TARGET_SIZE in the ini gets ignored and the defaults for settings>options> target is always used. This is also the case with DVD9 target.

For quick switching between DVD5 and DVD9 could this setting be in settings>target>custom size or something like that and have the ability to save custom sizes in MB? If you edit the target size, you have to close and restart BD-RB. It only reads it when it starts up, or it is changed via the SETTINGS/OPTIONS menu.

[jdobbs]

I just posted another update (v0.17.11) in the first post of this thread. This one fixes the problem with the wrong MPLS being selected for MOVIE-ONLY encodes and also loosens the rules as to when CRF is used in "Quick" mode.

[Sharc]

v0.17.11 improved my case.
The stream which was formerly encoded 2-pass at 343kbps and blocky is now 1-pass 946kbps. The quality is at the edge, +/- acceptable, although I would prefer to give it 1100 ... 1200 kbps. It's a short clip of 1170 frames btw.

[ron spencer]

gonna give this a whirl....my pc is a bit slower (pentium D, generation just before core2duo). If i am interested in movie only, should I be setting for single layer or dual? Just want to make sure using pc time wisely.

It's a short clip of 1170 frames btw. It encoded with CRF at a value that was fixed based on output size. You can st it to higher quality if you want by adding "QUICK_CRF=XX" in the options area of the config file. A value of 25 would probably do well in your case.

[jdobbs]

My general rule for movie-only is anything less than 2.25-2.5 hours is ok for BD-5... but it also depends on whether it is a high action movie, etc...

[Sharc]

The CRF was actually at 32. I set it to 31 now which increased the bitrate from 946 to 1100 kbps and brought the quality just over the edge. Excellent.

[jdobbs]

Ahhh... that make sense if it was encoding for BD-5. It's variable.

[jdobbs]

While that setting is there it will always use that Quick CRF value. If you decide to do a BD-9 you may want to remove it (or comment it out by adding a "#" to the front of it.

[Capsbackup]

Can you post the MUX_ file for the main feature? The menu thing is troubling... are you sure the disc is good?

When you say "sound and subs are not displayed on playback" what do you mean?

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "G:\U571 BDRB\WORKFILES\VID_00034.AVS.264", fps=23.976, insertSEI, contSPS

S_HDMV/PGS, "G:\U571 BDRB\WORKFILES\00034.track_4608.sup", fps=23.976, lang=eng

Definitely sure the rip/disc is good. I Burned it to a Panasonic BD-R with my laptops Matshita BD-RE 225S and all features play fine. Tryed the BD-RB encode to both a Sony DVD+RW and a Verbatim DVD+RW disc on both my Samsung TSST SH-S202N DVDRW drive and my Plextor PX 800A to be sure it wasn't a bad burn or bad disc. Both play back the same. There is just no sound or subtitles displayed on playback. Cannot even select subtitles to be displayed with the remote control. The picture quality is amazingly clear and undistinguishable from the original or the BD-R burn(of course). Cannot change audio tracks or subtitle tracks while playing from the remote either. The menu starts to play with audio and video, but after about 3-4 seconds, there is a pause, with the video and the sound stops for 3-4 seconds and then only the audio resumes while the video remains a still picture. The menu seems to function with the button highlights and you can select all highlights. Cannot select different audio tracks or subtitle tracks thru the menu though. The radio buttons just don't change when selected. When selecting play, the movie starts but with no sound. 1 audio file and 1 Eng. subtitle appears to be in the mux, when I open it with tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b) directly. Just no sound or subtitle on during playback.

Edit: radio buttons are changing when selecting them thru the menu, the screen just switches to the next menu too fast for me to tell. Sorry about that-my bad. However, there is no audio heard or subtitles displayed on playback or the ability to turn on the subtitles or switch audio tracks during playback.

[vwpassion]

The movie-only detection works very well now. Success with all my discs that I've loaded into BD-RB.

What i found not to work was changing the size in the bdrebuilder.ini. Once you restart BD-RB after changing it, it will automatically chose BD9 as output size, regardless of what size you've set in the ini (e.g. i chose TARGET_SIZE=4475, restart BD-RB, and now in the settings / options menu BD9 is ticked and the log reports "Target BD size: 7,72 GB").

[jdobbs]

Yep. I just looked in the code -- and I'd disabled it. Only the three default sizes are accepted. I remember doing that now so I wouldn't have to deal with all the oversizing issue I did in DVD Rebuilder (where people changed the value and then complained because it was too big). I'll enable it again (and hope I don't regret it).

[jdobbs]

Yes, Daemon Tools as well here. But whatever the issue is, it seems like a Heisenbug considering that it worked just fine yesterday.

By the way, another issue I had is that if I point BD Rebuilder to a working directory that it can't access, it will sometimes (but not always) shut down with an error message--and sometimes (but not always) be unable to start back up without deleting the ini file, because it again tries to open the unreadable directory and then shuts down again.

I hope deleting the ini file doesn't have any relation to the first problem... I've been mounting and unmounting using Daemon Tools and stopping and resuming at lots of different points. It seems to work fine for me.

Deleting the INI shouldn't have any effect. It just goes back to all defaults.

[ron spencer]

I am going to try a BR backup now....when I get home that is...is there an option to downsample dts hd to dts...tsmuxer can do this. Would save space for video on single layer dvd

[jdobbs]

By default the DTS HD will be converted to AC3. You can disable that in the SETUP dialog -- but even in that case it will be downsampled to standard DTS. My recommendation is to keep it as AC3 -- but there's a lot of people who would debate that.

Reminder: Lets try and keep this thread focused on bug reports and follow-ups only. Other discussions should be opened in another thread. Thanks.

ok.....arrived home and checked it out

I notice that for movies that use multiple m2ts files via the playlists mpls, that rebuilder will still only look at the largest m2ts instead of looking at the playlist files to build then...is this correct? I can simply build the movie first myself.

Should rebuilder be looking at the playlist files first or is this for later development? This is important as there are a few BRs that use this "branching"...I know this may not be a bug...just checking

thanks for audio note

Hi!

In 0.17.9:
In the BD Rebuilder Window, the log was not updated anymore.
The status bars indicated 100% and the last entries in the BD Reb Log Window were:
- [00:10:01] Video Encode complete
- [00:10:01] Extracting/reencoding audio tracks
- [00:10:08] Multiplexing M2TS
- [00:25:21] Collecting video information [00037]
- Video: 1920x1080, 23.976fps
- Bitrate: 16 501 Kbs

However, in the BD-REBUILDER.LOG file, the entries go on like this:
- [00:25:23] Reencoding: VID_00037, Pass 1 of 2
- [03:05:58] Reencoding: VID_00037, Pass 2 of 2
- [12:10:19] Video Encode complete
- [12:10:19] Extracting/reencoding audio tracks

[12:38:53]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started
[12:39:11] - Encode and Rebuild complete
[12:39:11]JOB: HARRY_POTTER_2 completed.

---------------------

Just a clarification for possible Bug Reports, the PS3 will not play a full Backup from a DVD9, there you can simple choose a m2ts file and play it.
However, if you burn it to a BD-R(W), it behaves on the PS3 like the original Disc.

Tested myself. This is no bug in BD-Rebuilder

---------------------

jdobbs, can you (makes most sense) maybe open a "Features wanted" thread, where everybody can write down his beloved features, and you maybe summarize then, what you plan. To avoid a lot of "will this feature implemented?" questions.

jdobbs, Thx.
