Im still getting a wavi.exe error at the end of Dances with Wolves European Edition, buy only with Windows 7

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I have been trying to get Heroes Season 2 Disc 1 and have not had any success. I read about the ENCODE_QUALITY=6 for I figured I'd give it a try. It failed this morning.

RE: Setting "ENCODE_QUALITY=6"

I got a failure in the multiplexing phase.

It appears you are getting an error from TSMUXER. Wierd that you'd get that when you didn't get it before. The "=6" only changes settings for X264, not the mux. If this happens again, try running the mux from the command line and see what error it returns. You'd type this from the command line:

"n:\pathtobdrebuilder\tools\tsmuxer" "n:\pathtoworking\workfiles\mux_00004.meta" "n:\pathtoworking\TMP"

Of course the drive/path depends on how you installed it.

Good day and thanks you for this app.
I'am trying to use Bd rebuilder but since v18 it stopps working at the start due to this:
[16:02:52] BD Rebuilder v0.18.7 (beta)

Also you can see the input BD size of 6.62g rather than 40g+ (this movie is mpeg2)
Here you have the same problem with another movie but the input size is correct (AVC):

Prior to v18 the process stopped after video encoding and the error seems the same if i remeber.
I made several BD using megui,eac3to and tsmuxer for my PS3 and i can open and read all BD and HD things with mpc or zplayer on my pc.
Thanks for your work.

[jdobbs]

That probably means that your selections have resulted in no audio being used.

Example: In "House of Flying Daggers" there are some extras that have Chinese language only (with forced subtitles). In my SETUP I have told the BD-RB to keep English language tracks only. When BD-RB tries to extract the audio for that extra -- it ends up with a META file that has no tracks selected. The result is a "nothing to do" error in TSMUXER -- and an error return from its shell call.

I've made a correction for the next release that will allow this -- but I should note that in most cases it isn't really what is intended by the user.

Anyways, lately, encountered a couple problems, not sure if they're bugs though:

1. The last three rebuilds, all of them at BD9, play in a narrow format on my Sammy BD-P2500. The first 10-12 backups all played flawlessly (as long as I remember to enable "Stricter AVCHD"), but the last three are messed up. I get big sidebars on my 16:9 DLP. The movies play fine on my PC using Classic Media Player at the proper wide aspect ratio of 2.35:1. I checked my HT setup by testing some previous backups, no problem, so I know my config is good. The only way I can fix it is to switch my BD player to output 720p and "format" the TV to "wide expand", but then the movie is obviously cropped and PQ is down. Like I said, this probably isn't a bug, but maybe someone knows what the dealio is.


@mcalistor:

Use BDedit to take a look at the PLAYLIST and CLIPINF values in the movie that was created after BD-RE had finished running.
I would not be surprised that your PLAYLIST tab did not have a 720p or 1080p in the STN view.
And, would also be not surprised if the CLIPINF tab shows that the AR is 4:3.

If that is the case, using a hex editor to change the AR value in the 00001.clpi file, and changing the AR in the 00000.mpls using BDedit would get you the 16:9 display back.

@jdobbs:
There are many movies that are not in 16:9 AR (usually 2.35:1 or 2.4:1) on discs. From what I have read, it is due to "artistic license" by the directors or whatever. :devil:
I would guess that is the problem with mcalistor's source as I have come over several such discs myself.

The only way I could overcome the issue -- before BD-RE "came on the market" :thanks: was to re-encode the video and adding borders to force a "true" 1920x1080 and then re-mux, replacing original video with the letterboxed copy that I made.

Since BD-RE does report the correct display dimensions after reading in the source

[20:54:52] PHASE ONE, Encoding
- [20:58:56] Collecting video information [00001]
- Video: 1920x816, 23.976fps
- Bitrate: 7,608 Kbs
- [20:59:01] Reencoding: VID_00001, Pass 1 of 2

would it be possible to include logic in BD-RE to check the dimensions and then during x264 run, add borders to force display XY to be fully 1920x1080?

I hope what I have written makes sense and if this is a OT feature request, please make appropriate "hmmm" noises and disregard. :p

The movie that I was initially having problems with (Max Payne) has multiple parts. If my memory serves me correctly, the other movie I tried and had problems with (Ghost Town) does not. I'll have to check when I get home from work to make sure though.

By skipping I mean that the video will freeze for a fraction of a second, and then skip ahead to a point where it is in sync with the audio again. The audio plays without any glitches. I've only made it about two minutes into the movie, and the freezes happen every four or five seconds over that period.

This was posted as a work around on another forum. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it will provide some insight to the problem.

Anyways, here's what I did that ended up fixing the problem:

- Opened up the *.AVS.264 file from the WORKFILES directory (created by BD-RB) in H264info
- checked the "Remove pulldown" checkbox
- ran H264info and created a new file, *_NoPulldown.AVS.264
- opened up TSMuxer GUI
- added the newly-created no-pulldown 264 file, and the *.AC3 file from the WORKFILES directory (created by BD-RB)
- selected the "Create Blu-ray Disc" option and ran it
- burned the resulting folders to a DVD+RW using ImgBurn with UDF 2.50
Has anyone else reported that this fixes it?

Thanks for your answer,
in my case i just make movie only mode with the detected english track, this track is also selcted in my setup. This happens with any movie i tried (more than 10). I tried other languages and the error is always the same.

It appears you are getting an error from TSMUXER. Wierd that you'd get that when you didn't get it before. The "=6" only changes settings for X264, not the mux. If this happens again, try running the mux from the command line and see what error it returns. You'd type this from the command line:

Of course the drive/path depends on how you installed it.

I get the exact same error with version 18.7 even if I change back to ENCODE_QUALITY=2, but it completes normally with 17.13. That's odd since they both use the same version of TSMuxer.

I'll give the command line a shot..

[DarWun]

The encode to BD9 finished using BD Rebuilder v0.18.07 and the older version of x264. Using the older version of x264 did not resolve the stuttering and skipping issue when the m2ts file is played back on the PS3. The m2ts files that were left over in the working directory play fine (or at least the four that I tried did).

Has anyone else reported that this fixes it?

In the other forum where this issue was being discussed, a number of people asked questions about the pulldown workaround after the original post. However, nobody reported back on whether or not it worked. I am going to try it when I get home tonight. I'll post back with more after that.

[drmih]

I have found an issue with Universal discs (Mummys / Bournes) where after doing full menus conversions to bd-9 the audio is not accessible on my sony standalone - the audio is there on the pc and also as a data stream on the ps3. It must be something trivial in the flags but I can't figure it out.

I just went through the command lines, etc for X264 and I can find absolutely nothing that has changed that might have that affect. Obviously something has changed -- so let's see what the muxing looks like. This is very, very odd.

@all

Quick question to those who have done movie-only (maybe also full backups to BD9) and are playing the discs on a standalone player WITH a <42" TV (I have a 37" LCD).

Original source is 1920x1080 that is re-encoded using BD-RE and all the .stats file shows it is 1920x 1080. However, when played back on my Sony S350 via HDMI to my 37" LCD, the video is letterboxed.


From INFO.INI
[Options]
framecount=181298
framerate=23.975986
width=1920
height=1080
bitrate=8055
trellis=1

Hope this is not OT as I am trying to figure out whether it is the standalone (latest firmware 7.4.015, as of yesterday) or the encoding process.

TIA, James

[mmace]

what's your original disc play like?

you'll find most films are wider than widescreen TV's so need letterboxing, same as DVDs and TV stations that show OAR (like all Sky's movie channels here in the UK)

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I have problems with full backup to BD25, my backups wont go to the main movie.

This happens on Kung Fu Panda and The Mummy 3 (both german BDs). Both get me a black screen, when pressing the Play Movie button in the main menu.

I realized, both of them are BD-Live titles, National Treasure has no BD live, and is working fine.

I set AnyDVD to remove BD live, as AFAIK this is not working anyway with backups. The Original Disc with AnyDVD enabled is working fine, but the BD-Rebuilder recoded shows the above problem.

Btw @jdobbs, do you need anything more the problem described here?

I can also confirm DarWun's results using the older version of x264 with 0.18.07.... still skips the same way on my daughter's PS3.
Will send you the Meta file of Max Payne that I just did last night using the above method.

The original plays fine, filling the whole screen. WS DVDs also fill the screen while 4:3 movies (got a whole stack of pre-WS discs, play pillarboxed.

Its not a big deal but just wanted to satisfy my curiosity... and as the saying goes - it might just kill me. :devil:

I think alot of people might just be afraid to interfere with the process in even the slightest way... that's alot of time thrown away if it decides to "burp" when it starts back up. The pause button would be more emotional than mechanical. With a Q9560 I can still do pretty much whatever else I want without problems, but I trust the way a PC works more than many. :)

I use processXP (works in vistax86/x64 also) as a replacement for taskmanager. and it support selecting a process to suspend and resume.

[jdobbs]

This does fix the issue with me BD-9 that skipped.Same source used H264info checked Remove pulldown.Worked like a charm thanks. Have you tried simply running TSMUXER against it to remux without the pulldown removal step?

[MikeyBK]

Have you tried simply running TSMUXER against it to remux without the pulldown removal step?


What if I were to try remuxing with both the m2ts and 264 files from the working folder into two seperate BDs, and if one still skips and the other not.... would that give you some info?

[NexGen76]

Have you tried simply running TSMUXER against it to remux without the pulldown removal step?


No i didn't try that i just follow his steps....I have a encode going now i will give it a try when it finish tomorrow. I will let one Burn(to make sure it skip) Then i will try using TsMUXER & remux it without Pulldown i will let you know late tomorrow how it come out.

[GaPony]

It appears you are getting an error from TSMUXER. Wierd that you'd get that when you didn't get it before. The "=6" only changes settings for X264, not the mux. If this happens again, try running the mux from the command line and see what error it returns. You'd type this from the command line:

"n:\pathtobdrebuilder\tools\tsmuxer" "n:\pathtoworking\workfiles\mux_00004.meta" "n:\pathtoworking\TMP"

Of course the drive/path depends on how you installed it.

It already builds the TMP directory, and includes the required BDMV folders, but doesn't complete the process of creating the new folder and copying/moving the files from the TMP directory to the Folder (named for the movie) in the WORKFILES folder. Which appears to mean the error is coming after tsmuxer but during the next step (or at the very end of txmuxer's process)

I renamed the TMP folder and re-ran tsmuxer. The results are attached.

When I check the movie file (00001.m2ts) alone, it plays flawlessly, but when I run the movie from the folder or burn it to BD-9 it doesn't play at all... even if I remove the required folders to make it an AVCHD disc.

Here's a screenshot of the cmd window with the produced error.

[mcalistor]

@mcalistor:

Use BDedit to take a look at the PLAYLIST and CLIPINF values in the movie that was created after BD-RE had finished running.
I would not be surprised that your PLAYLIST tab did not have a 720p or 1080p in the STN view.
And, would also be not surprised if the CLIPINF tab shows that the AR is 4:3.

If that is the case, using a hex editor to change the AR value in the 00001.clpi file, and changing the AR in the 00000.mpls using BDedit would get you the 16:9 display back.



First of all, I apolgize for the OT thread here. Maybe we should take this outside :) On the other hand, a private discussion doesn't help anyone else with this problem.

smnckl,

Great information, you were right on. All three of them had the correct AR value in the 00001.clpi file, however the resolution wasn't specified in the 00000.mpls file.

Now for the tricky part, my latest conversion does have the AR value in 00001.clpi incorrectly specified as 4:3. I've loaded the file in my hex editor, but couldn't find any guide online on how to decipher it. Any ideas?

This def. sounds like a problem with the tsMuxeR output files, but I couldn't find any mention of this problem in the 100+ pages of posts.

Look at this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1244706&postcount=2) I made in another thread. I put a screen cap there.

Remember that you have to make the change in the mpls file and hit the Save button on bottom left of BDedit screen.

Good luck.

I'm a bit gutted at the moment, I don't know if it's a bug or a feature request so thought I'd post it here!

I've been converting Mamma Mia for the last 11 days or so using libav for the extras (interlaced VC-1) so it's been going at 0.1fps, on Monday it got on to the main feature. This morning I got up and it was frozen on muxing the main movie and I noticed I'd run out of HDD space so I freed up about 100Gb but BDRB stayed as not responding. I forced close the software and restarted hoping it would continue from the mux but instead it deleted all the files it had transcoded and started the main movie again!!

[klas]

But if you take off complete the computer d´ont resume. I do not understand the reason is that when a BluRay remux (only the film) not resume and the Fullbluray yes .Also one days make one pass and the second pass on the following day even with the computer off. It is not possible to save the information?

[Capsbackup]

Just backed up Lakeview Terrace, NTSC, movie only, using BD-RB v1807, and playback on Sony BDP-BX1 is perfect. Chose BD-5, High Quality (Default), and use 640kbs for AC3 encoding. No stutter or playback issues of any kind. Finished file size was slightly undersized at 4.19GB. However, I did notice an extremely large amount of subtitles for this movie, 13 total sub tracks at 396 MB in the Workfiles folder. The english 1st track is only 32 MB. I know this has been discussed before, but it would be advantageous to be able to allocate that amount to the video quality. Perhaps a small place-holder subtitle could be put in the tracks to be removed to hold the original location on the subtitle line so as to not change language/tracks when selecting a different subtitle track. ( I know the NFL season is finished, but I had one more pass in this " arm chair QB ") :devil:

Either something is seriously broke with your setup, and/or you have a very badly fragged hard drive with maybe even some errors or bad blocks therein. You should do a delete and defrag and diskchk on it, big-time.

As I reported before, I did MM a few days ago and altho I had to manually re-encode the 6 interlaced segments, it worked fine otherwise and was, I must admit, a pretty impressive backup given all the U-control and fancy "sing-along" stuff. Threw it all away and will try it again w/future builds of BD-RB as it seems a good torture test...

is there something in this thread about how to encode the extra's manually cos I'd prefer to do that! (as in what to name them and whether they need to be elementary or muxed)

[MikeyBK]

Just something of interest JD..... I took all the working files from the Max Payne BD-9 that was skipping on the PS3s and manually joined all the AVS.264 files together using TSSplitter, and then remuxed that joined m2ts file into BD structure with TSMuxer and the resulting BD plays fine on the PS3. I then did the same using all the m2ts files from the workfiles folder as well and that resulting BD also plays fine.
I did try just joining and remuxing altogether in one step with TSMuxer, but it still skipped when using either the AVS.264 or m2ts files from that workfiles folder.

So the encoding seems not to be the issue... but more how TSMuxer is now joining them?

I don't know if this info helps JD, but seems I can rebuild a working BD-9 that won't skip on the PS3s, using either of those files from the workfiles folder, no need for a reencoding with x264.

I'd like to see if it is the joining of the parts (that was done in the first mux) that is causing the problem.

I did already try that and the resulting BD still had the skips.
Here's the breakdown of what I've tried using either the BD-9 files or the workfiles...

1> Remuxed the m2ts file from the BD-9 itself thru TSMuxer.... still skipped.

2> Joined and remuxed the .m2ts 'and' the AVS.264 files from the workfiles folder using TSMuxer alone... 'both' still skipped.

3> Joined instead with TSSplitter using both .m2ts and AVS.264 files , then remuxed the joined m2ts files with TSMuxer..... and both then played fine without the skipping on my daughters PS3.


Not sure what changed in the TSMuxer joining and remuxing from this 0.18.07 compared to 0.17.13, but something seems to have that is causing the skipping in PS3s. Because TSSplitter can join the same workfiles and run thru TSMuxer and the results play fine then.

I also recently ran X-Files thru TSSplitter (joining the multi m2ts files together), then remuxed to BD using TSMuxer and ran it thru 0.17.13.... and the results were good, no audio sync issue any longer, and played on the PS3.

[datman]

Nevermind I guess this is just a bug. I know don't fit in here so from now on I will post my error/bugs but ask no questions. That way when no one responds I will be ok with that.

[KarstenS]

Update: I did recode the problem movie "Meet Robinsons" with 18.7 as full backup again, as this one failed in earlier versions.

It works now as it should in PowerDVD and BDP S350.

Movie: Ok.
Trailers and Extras: Ok.
Audiostreams: Ok.
Angles: Ok.
Chapters: Ok.

So I delete this one and try to find another movie with that BD Rebuilder get problems.

No i didn't try that i just follow his steps....I have a encode going now i will give it a try when it finish tomorrow. I will let one Burn(to make sure it skip) Then i will try using TsMUXER & remux it without Pulldown i will let you know late tomorrow how it come out.

Okay when the BD-9 finish burning, Play back on my PS3 skipped again.


Next i use the workfile using TsMuxer(audio & video) like you asked click build Blu-Ray folder & Burned with Img Burn.The Play back on my PS3 was skipping also. So the only work around i had was to use H264info click remove pulldown...Movie now work without skipping.

[MikeyBK]

So the only work around i had was to use H264info click remove pulldown...Movie now work without skipping.

So you did this with each AVS.264 file in the Workfiles folder?
Or was yours just a single m2ts movie?

I used TSSplitter to join the multiple AVS.264 files w/ the AC3 audio, then remuxed with TSMuxer and the resulting BD-9 plays without skipping also.
But if I use only TSMuxer to join and remux, then the resulting BD still skips on the PS3s.

Hi, I have been using BD-RB for awhile now and for some really strange reason when I use v0.17.13 Movie only encodes work perfectly on my Panasonic BD-30. anything after that build, no matter what combination of choices I make in the app, not 1 Disk has worked on my standalone Player.Like I said I have made many tests with options on and off, even ripping with anydvd with different options on and off and still not 1 disk plays. When I revert back to v0.17.13 all is perfect once again. so there is def something changed in version 0.18.07 and it is driving me crazy!

I do not want any subtitles in my movie-only rebuilds. What can I put in SUBS_TO_KEEP to deactivate this option?

I know that subtitle selection has been disabled in the GUI but I would like to have that option. I tried using "none" in place of the default "all" but that did not work. :devil:

Maybe a shot in the dark but it could be greyed out because the code is not in place to do that action right now.

I would rather have a solid conversion tool versus which subtitle I want in the movie.

I also report that I tried encode_quality=6 as suggested by JD and also tried the old x264.exe and I experienced the same: Not working as movie only with my Denon player with any 0.18 versions. It worked perfect with 0.17.13. I expect that if skip issues are solved for PS3 would also solve this particular problem. Hope that helps.

[ds9delta]

I Have Just Tried An Encode Of Matrix Revolutions From 34.3G To 23G First Of It Is Still Being Undersized Roughly A GB From Target Size And Second For The First Time Ever It Skipped On PowerDVD! I Have Tested Everything I Have Done With 18.7 With PowerDVD Using DAEMON TOOLS To Mount The Image Before Burning And Testing On My Standalone.. All Have Worked... Until Now When I Checked The Completed M2TS Did Play Fine In Windows Media Player But In PowerDVD The Movie Played For 6Seconds Then Video And Audio Freeze And A Minute Later 9Seconds And So On And So Forth... I Have Attatched The BD-RB Setup Files... P.S. Would Love To Be Able To Keep DTS-HD\PCM In The Next Version... PLEASE! And Always :thanks: For The Great Work:)

[mmace]

I set a film going again yesterday morning, it just had the main movie to encode as all extras have been done over the last week or so.
This morning I get up it says 100% progress on pass 2/2 but is 9 frames less (156270 / 156279), x264 is taking up 100% of the CPU. This was 2 hours ago and nothing has changed. If I look in the WORKFILES folder the x264 file has a last modified date of 3:54AM this morning but adds about 30mb to it's size every 10 minutes or so, it's only 8Gb so I assume it's got a while to go (shrinking it all down to 25Gb BD-R) since the WORKFILES folder is only 12Gb in size at the moment.

Is it meant to do this or has something crashed?

screenshots:
http://www.maffmace.co.uk/BDRB.jpg


EDIT: 6 hours later and it still says exactly the same, CPU is still at 100% and has been unusable all day, the files size in the 264 file keeps increasing and is now at 13.6Gb, I'm assuming it's doing the 2nd pass but the percentage never reset to 0 after the 1st pass!

[DaMacFunkin]

Found a bug, which i think may have been touched on:-
Have done full back up of Taken (BD-25) - some extras don't work, reason being is that they only have french language as audio, and BD Rebuilder has automatically stripped them, maybe if a variable was added that ensured every stream retained at least 1 audio track, this would sort it. Also this film came in over 2 gig undersize??
Its no biggy for now because the copy i have of this film is defective (No Forced English subs for French speaking parts!!! Somebody has fudged up big time). Will try again when i get a Retail copy.

[smnckl]

Maybe a shot in the dark but it could be greyed out because the code is not in place to do that action right now.

No, not a shot in the dark as jdobbs has stated before that he will not work on the subtitles issue until he has gotten BD-RE to be stable in the main module(s).

I was just wishing that it was maybe possible by editing the REBUILDER.INI or one of the .avs or .meta files. It could save quite a bit of space which could be used to get a higher bitrate for the movie. Just as Capsbackup requested yesterday in post #1030.

@Capsbackup: didn't mean to pull you into this. :devil:

I would rather have a solid conversion tool versus which subtitle I want in the movie.

Me too... as well as the many others who are testing and loving it. :cool:

Just my .02 cents.

If there are many enough who throw in $0.02 into the pot, we might just make the current economy stronger. :devil:

Have a good one.

[Shuttle99]

Just want to post the results of skipping problems I have had. On the movies I am having the skipping problem they all skip on the PS3 and will not load on the Panasonic BD55. The movies that don't skip play on both. The movies that do skip work fine when played on the bluray player in the computer and do not skip. So its not the burn. I have tried different brands of media and burned on different burners with the same result "skipping in the PS3 and work fine in the computer" I have tried using versions 17.13 & 18.07.

[DarWun]

So you did this with each AVS.264 file in the Workfiles folder?
Or was yours just a single m2ts movie?

I used TSSplitter to join the multiple AVS.264 files w/ the AC3 audio, then remuxed with TSMuxer and the resulting BD-9 plays without skipping also.
But if I use only TSMuxer to join and remux, then the resulting BD still skips on the PS3s.

For the Max Payne Blu-Ray, I was able to join the multiple AVS.264 files and mux with DTS and commentary tracks using TsMuxerGUI. I did not need to use TsSplitter and I did not need to change the pulldown setting. I added the first AVS.264, and appended the rest of them (instead of using add). I then added the audio tracks. When I created the blu-ray-structure I ended up with a BD9 that works without skipping on the PS3. The audio remains in sync with the video throughout the entire movie.

I was also able to get a working BD9 of Ghost Town using this approach. It only has one AVS.264 file and an audio track. The .m2ts file rebuilt by BD-Rebuilder v0.18.07 skips on the PS3 (it worked with an earlier version). The .m2ts file rebuilt manually using TsMuxer does not. Again, I was able to do this without playing around with the pulldown.

That's odd considering that when I used TSMuxer only the resulting BD still skipped. Using TSSplitter did not. Perhaps using Append instead of Add in TSMuxer was the difference?
Kinda odd as well is that BD-RB uses TSMuxer as you did to remux the workfiles into BD structure AFAIK.... so why'd it work for you and not in BD-RB?

[mmace]

finally got Mamma Mia shrunk, burnt it to a BD-RE and tested it (full back up)

the intro plays, the warnings play, the menu works, the pop-up menu's work
none of the videos play, they are just black (the pop-up menu works when it's playing nothing)
all the m2ts files play fine on my PC but not when it's put together as a BDMV, it's a BDLive disc if that makes a difference?
using latest (25th Jan) version of BD-RB

Any help? What has changed?

How about reporting:

What movie?
What does the INI say?
Was it a multipart movie?
Is there anything unusual about the activity you see?
Movie only, full backup?


This is a beta test release, I need reports that give me something to work with. So far all I'm getting is "It worked in 0.17.13... well I compared the encode and remux commands and they are the same except for multi-part encodes... can someone try a single part encode and tell me whether it works?

Mummy 3, which is a single m2ts BD, also skipped when using 0.18.07... EDIT: (just wanted to clarify that the skipping was on PS3s only, my Sony BDP-BX1 played all discs prefectly.)

I think we're kinda finding out that it's not an encoding issue, but rather a remuxing issue. DarWun and I were successful remuxing either the AVS.264 or m2ts files from the workfiles folder. We both did this with Max Payne workfiles. He was successful using TSMuxer only, I was not with TSMuxer only, but I was if using TSSplitter to join first and then TSMuxer to remux. He usde the append command to join his multi files in TSMuxer while I used the 'add' tab. He was also successful remuxing using Ghost Town workfiles using TSMuxer, which had only a single m2ts.

[bobrap]

FYI I just burned Eagle Eye (single M2ts/movie only) onto DVD-RW and it skipped/stuttered on PS3. Played fine on PC. Really wish I could help with this:confused:

Unless I've missed something, the meta file and command line for muxing is exactly the same for v0.17.13 and 0.18... it is also the same version of TSMUXER.

Have you changed anything else? Are you using the version(s) of software that were included with BD-RB?

I'm pulling my hair out on this one -- and frankly after working on it for a while I don't have any spare hair to lose...

It would help immensely if we removed all outside software (like TSSPLITTER) from the process and only used TSMUXER for the muxing. That is all that was in use in v0.17 -- and all reports are that it worked then.

I'm tempted to go out and buy a PS-3 -- but unfortunately the donations have been pretty thin, and I simply can't justify it. My wife thinks I'm crazy for spending this much time on freeware it as it is...

I only used TSSplitter to try and salvage one of the BD-9 encodings since my daughter has a PS3 and would be using that to view these BD-9s on... and I prefer not to have her use the original Blurays discs.

As for versions of TSMuxer with BD-RB, I only use the versions you include in your set-up files. I do have standalone version of it but did not overwrite your included version with my standalone version.

I'm not sure what to add as to why the 0.18.07 encodes skip on the PS3s now??? Wish I could offer more feedback to you so that you could have more to work with in figuring out what changed.

As for donations... sorry to hear that they have been sparse...:(
I'll be sending you a donation (EDIT: Donation Sent) and hope that starts a new wave of them.... and I call upon all those who are benefitting from this great program to donate what they can to help you out....
Come on guys, let's help JD out here....

[mmace]

I'll be donating when I get paid because I think I'll be using this software quite a lot!
Why don't you add a donate button to the software like MKV2VOB has these days in case no one's seen your link?

[jwjohnson]

Finally able to post after 5 day wait.

I'm sending you a donation, so that should help some.

I appreciate your work on this.

My goal is to do a movie only backup to BD-25. I've tried Eagle Eye and Prince Caspian, but I get the error extracting audiosubs that was mentioned a few pages back. I read your comments then and have tried enabling all the languages used in the subs and still get the same problems. It happens with movie only and with full backups. Any other suggestions?

(I'm at work now, so can't post log file, but the log output looks pretty much the same as the others that were reporting the problem.)

Thanks,
Jeff

I thought i was the only one having this (post 1004 ).
I would be glad to help with a donation, but till now i wasn't able to launch just one encode (i made a full reinstall of my PC in case of xcodecs conflicts but no luck).
Anyway i will send a donation.

I just tried another movie with version 18.07 but copying H264 from 17.13 over to 18.07 directory and it still skipped. So I just re-did it using 17.13 and it work fine. Something between the 17.13 and 18.07 install has changed?

[jwgallardo]

JD: Don't forget also that Cyberdoggy and I are experiencing problems where the movie only backup is not playing at all in our players with version 0.18 but it worked perfect on version 0.17.13. Cyber has a Panasonic player and I have Denon. I am assuming that once the skipping issue with PS3 is solved, must probably it will work again for us too.

I tried without sucess:
Encode_quality = 6
Copying x264.exe from v0.17.14 to v0.18.7
Missing to try: Both above together.

I really don't understand what others are doing with TSMuxer. I will try to learn that so I can try. If somebody please could give us simple steps to do that, I will appreciate it.

P.S. Donation sent!

Using append versus add definitely did make a difference for me. I used add the first time I tried to rebuild the DVD, and I ended up with an .m2ts file that skipped.

I think the version of TsMuxer I used was different than the one that came with BD-Rebuilder. I wanted the GUI, so I downloaded the package off the TsMuxer website. I think it was v8.8 beta. I'm going to try it again tonight using the TsMuxer.exe version that came with BD-Rebuilder. I have to learn a bit about how to run it from the command line first.

Thanks jwgallardo, I am not going to even attempt all that extra stuff though, I am just going to wait for another new build, I am positive all this will be hashed out. Remember this is still all in it's infancy stage so as time progesses I am sure other applications will follow BD-RB just as DVD-Shrink, and Clone DVD etc... did.:cool:

You can use the GUI to pick the m2ts files that need to be spliced together. After you have chosen the input files, look at the bottom of the GUI and you will see the command line stuff.

[MikeyBK]

You can still have a standalone TSMuxer aside from the exe file in the BD-RB tools folder... AFAIK... in fact I do know... this standalone TSMuxerGUI can be run for your other projects, but JD specifically just asked that you use the TSMuxer.exe that came with BD-RB for BD-RB projects, and not overwrite that exe with the GUI version.

I just completed a manual rebuild from the command line using the version of TsMuxer.exe that came with BD-Rebuilder. The resulting .m2ts file plays without skipping on the PS3.

[Capsbackup]

Backed up X-Files 2, NTSC, full movie to BD-5 just for testing purposes, not for quality since there is some 5 1/2 hours of content and 43GB worth of data on this disc. There are two versions of this movie, extended and theatrical version, with multiple .M2TS files. The backup finished successfully, and came out 4.27GB. The intro and trailers all play fine, as does the main menu. When I select the theatrical version the movie plays back fine with audio and subtitles as selected. However, when I try to play back the extended version, the video plays back but there is no audio, nor can you select subtitles. I have had this happen before with a few other movies too, and this time I was using BD-RB v1807. The individual .M2TS files do play back with audio on the cpu thru Mplayerc, just not the Sony BDP-BX1.

[DIVX2009]

Error whit LPCM 7.1 ....?
Is not supported ??

[jdobbs]

I just tried another movie with version 18.07 but copying H264 from 17.13 over to 18.07 directory and it still skipped. So I just re-did it using 17.13 and it work fine. Something between the 17.13 and 18.07 install has changed? Good post. So we can eliminate any of the x264 settings. Can you send me the META files from each project? dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com

[jdobbs]

I just completed a manual rebuild from the command line using the version of TsMuxer.exe that came with BD-Rebuilder. The resulting .m2ts file plays without skipping on the PS3. I need to see the META files from each of the two builds.

[jdobbs]

I think I'm going to take another path with these multipart movie-only BDs... just for the hell of it, I'm going to build a version that outputs them in the same multipart format as the original and see how that works (especially on the PS3).

JD: Is there anything I can supply you from Universal discs I have encoded (full disc) to bd-9 to identify why a Sony standalone does not identify the audio stream but powerdvd can?

[jdobbs]

JD: Is there anything I can supply you from Universal discs I have encoded (full disc) to bd-9 to identify why a Sony standalone does not identify the audio stream but powerdvd can? Are these NTSC? You mentioned "The Mummy" -- which one (the first)? I'd like to give it a go. I don't think I've seen an issue on my Sony, but maybe I've just been lucky. If you change audio tracks from the remote, does it pick up the audio?

Also, could you post the details? Are the original tracks always the same type (True HD, etc.)? It has to be something to do with how I reset the "type of audio" information in the MPLS and CLPI files, and maybe I'm just not doing it right for certain kinds...

[Gnavicks]

When using FIX_CLPI=0 I get this

- [17:21:03] Video Encode complete
- [17:21:03] Extracting/reencoding audio tracks
- [17:21:03] Multiplexing M2TS
[17:21:04] - Failed to build structure, aborted


tested on Vista 64, XP 32 and 4 BD's. With FIX_CLPI=1 they all process OK.

I get the exact same error message "Failed to build structure, aborted" when rebuilding WALL-E to a BD-25. I get the error whenever I select the two additional English audio tracks for the main movie stream but doing a full backup of the blu-ray. I've tried it with and without the FIX_CLPI options and by unchecking "limit to one track for each language" under setup.

The only thing that works is for BD-RB v.18.7 (beta) to select the main English audio stream and not the other two.

Everything else BD-RB does is amazing and appeared on the internet the day I switched to Blu-ray, Kudos to jdobbs!

[Capsbackup]

JD: Is there anything I can supply you from Universal discs I have encoded (full disc) to bd-9 to identify why a Sony standalone does not identify the audio stream but powerdvd can?
Same as I just reported in #1069 above. Only one player, Sony that jdobbs has, has played the audio now on several discs I have made and tested at a local retail store. My BX1 just will not play the audio from the main movie but all the trailers and menu audio is heard. Interesting that on the several that have worked flawlessly, when you press the audio button on the remote when the movie is playing, it will show the different audio tracks that would have been available but that were removed, as is true with the subtitle tracks. But on the ones that no main movie audio is heard, pressing the audio button or the subtitle button does not bring up anything. It is just as if there is no response, or that the button is not working. The video plays just fine, just no sound.

@jdobbs: could a placeholder / small audio file and subtitle file, the same file type audio as the original disc, be inserted to the location of that which will be removed, and be placed on the audio and subtitle tracks of the new BD-RB AVCHD, maybe just for testing, to see if that will keep the audio available and subtitle tracks in line with the original disc?

[drmih]

Jd: capsbackup has pretty much described the issue. It has only occured on Universal discs - The Mummy and the Bourne Collection I have tried so far. The audio on the menu for the main movie is True HD 5.1. As stated, the audio on the extras works fine but for the movie it isn't there - if you use the display information button it doesn't show a stream as present. However, if the disc is played in Powerdvd or if the stream is selected on a ps3, the audio is fine.

If there are any of the files from the disc that I can post the information from, or extract details using bdinfo or bdedit, then just advise.

[jdobbs]

Have you told BD-RB to keep the audio intact, or is is set to the default?

Could you try opening the output with BDEDIT and see what it says the audio is (in the CLIPINF)?

[drmih]

The audio has to be converted as I think that it accounts for several Gb and hence not viable for a bd-9. Below is the information for two titles from universal with the problem, and a random other which is fine - all done with the same settings (the info from the original discs is also shown).

I need to see the META files from each of the two builds.

I deleted the Working Files directory last night to free up some space. I will do another reencode and provide the META files when they are done.

[treeboy]

Thanks for the great apps DVD Rebuilder is great and has been for some time and I'm sure BD-RB will too. As a matter of fact I think it is now! I have done a BD-5 backup of 40 Year Old Virgin Movie only and all seems to go well meaning that the process completes successfully and plays on the puter just fine. I don't have a PS3 as yet but I do have a Philips BD7200/F7. Here in lies my problem. The 7200 doesn't play the TDK BD-5's I make and I don't have any other media at present. When the BD-5 is put into the 7200 the disc seems to load but nothing happens. The 7200 shows that it’s playing the disc but there is no time on the counter --:--. I have tried various settings with in ffdshow and BD-RB. If I check "Stricter AVCHD Compliance…" the player rejects it as not compatible, which the documentation confirms. Again I don't think it's the software but rather the player. Having said that, I tried v. 0.17.13 on a different movie, Eastern Promises and it works fine in the BD7200/F7 with the same media. The only obvious differences I see are that Eastern Promises has one track (MT2S) and the BDMV directory contains AUXDATA, BDJO, JAR, and META folders as do the backups of 40YOV with the exception of the "Stricter AVCHD Compliance…" attempt but 40YOVhas 21 tracks (MT2S). So, in summary I have successfully backed up a movie that plays on my Philips BD7200/f7 standalone with v. 0.17.13 but not with v. 0.18.07. Let me know if the logs would be useful and I will provide them. Thanks again, and we’ll keep at it.

If you attempt to playback the .AC3 file alone (from the working directory) -- does it play the sound (sorry if I'm repeating anything -- I'm working a lot of separate issues simultaneously).

[drmih]

Both The Mummy, and Bourne bd-9 work fine in a pc or when the main movie stream is selected on a ps3.

Powerdvd reports the video as MPEG-4 AVC and the audio as DD 5.1 448kbps

and just for clarification TombRaider is fine and was included to show that the same settings work fine on different (non-Universal) source material.

ExtractAudioSubs error with 0.18.7

I tried another movie only to BD-25 for Eagle Eye and again got the extract audio error. I have tried the same with movie only and after going through the extras ok get the same Extract Audio Subs error when it gets to the subtitles. I'm not trying to eliminate any subtitles. I've even enabled the languages for each subtitle to see if that makes a difference and it does not.

Thanks for your help.

That appears to be a "file already exists" error. It's trying to rename the audio file to the proper output name, and it already is there...

[jwjohnson]

So how can I avoid that? I've made sure the "Workfiles" folder is deleted before starting the backup.

[Catalystoz]

I did a movie only conversion on region A The Descent and ended up with a picture in picture with the directors comentary I gather this is a selection problem, I am using .18.0.7.

That is probably one of those titles that you might need to use the Alternate Movie-Only Playlist setting for. I did so on one of mine to ensure the correct size playlist was loaded into 0.18.07.......

[Jake802]

Well, I just got Nick & Norah, Skips & Lock-ups on both the PS3 and the LG Player. Full BD Copy, LG BD-RE, I am going to try just a movie only rip with TSMuxer and see what happens there, just so I can get some clarification, its not the discs or something. Thanks guys!

A full backup is skipping? Is the symptom the same as reported earlier? And it's doing the same thing on a standalone player?

[TheOfficeMaven]

Hi jdobbs,

With all the bad (skipping) news going around, I thought that you could use some good news for a change... I just finished doing a couple movie-only high-quality encodes to BD-5 using v0.18.7 and they play perfectly on my Samsung BD-P2550 (using the Stricter AVCHD compliance setting). The quality of the movies is absolutely amazing seeing that they have been shrunk down to fit on a single-layer DVD. I can hardly tell the difference between the re-encodes and the originals (Hancock and The Dark Knight). Kudos to you!

Also, I ended up picking up a new Core i7 (920) machine (that's running a 64-bit version of the Windows 7 beta) and I can now pull movie-only encodes off in about 5 hours (or less). My old Core 2 Duo machine took 31 hours to do a movie-only encode of The Dark Knight and my new machine did it in just over 5. What a difference!

Keep up the great work!

BTW, I've done about 7 movie-only encodes so far using the various beta versions of BD-RB and I've yet to run into a single problem. I thought for sure that Hancock would give BD-RB problems seeing as the main movie is split into 11 different M2TS chunks, but it worked just fine (i.e. no skips or audio sync problems at all). Guess I've just been lucky with my movie choices. I'll keep plugging away at it though.

[jdobbs]

I think you're more lucky with your standalone choices... :) Thanks for the positive feedback. Of course X264 deserves most of the credit... great software.

[Jake802]

Yea unfortunately JDobbs, I am getting skipping issues with FullBackUp on a PS3 and LG-300. At first the movie like freezes/pauses and the sound plays. Then shortly after words, it sorta stutters along like its on a fast forward mode and I get no sound. I used TSMuxer and did just a movie only copy I am gonna burn that to disc, and that way I should no if, its maybe the disc or the players. I am thinking its the program or the disc(s) though, because I did TSMuxer of The Incredible Hulk and dont have the stuttering issues.

[GaPony]

I think the differences in various Blu-Ray players is going to be your biggest challenge. What appears to be a bug to one person, isn't an issue for someone with a different player. I would have never guessed there to be such a broad range of "standards" among different brands or even models within brands. Hopefully, time will cure that ill.

This is why many are opting to build their own BD play back units by building an HTPC. One of the nice things about an HTPC solution is that there are few if any compatibility issues to contend with. Not only can one check their reencode before burning it by playing back and ISO, but virtually all burns are compatible even if they won't play in a standalone player.

That of course is my two cents.

[brogan]

jdobbs,

Just wanted to say great work on this app! Before this came out, I was pulling extras out of BD50s & trying to fit them on BD25s. I've done about 10 full movie rips to DVD+R DL & a couple movie only rips & they all look awesome w/out any problems. I do have one request, I know its not that big a priority for you. Are there any plans for a HD (untouched) audio option? Even if it's just for BD25s, having a TrueHD or DTS HD MA track would be amazing! Hopefully, that will turn up in a future version of this wonderful app. Thanks again...

[drmih]

brogan,

I may be wrong but in setup you have the option within the audio not to reencode to ac3. It says dts to ac3 but I think it just leaves the audio untouched.

Are you saying that playback quality on a HTPC is as good as stand alone or PS3? If so, could you give me an idea of the hardware specs. Thanks.

[brogan]

I'm pretty sure it downsamples to DD or DTS...can someone confirm? As far as I know, you can't shrink a BD50 to BD25 & keep the TrueHD or DTS-HD MA stream...if I'm wrong, someone please correct me...

[jdobbs]

Currently if you get:

By default everything is converted to AC3, with 5.1 encoded at 448Kbs and Stereo encoded at 192Kbs.

Selecting "Do not convert DTS to AC3":
DTS HD or DTS HD Master --> DTS (at a high bitrate determined by source)

Selecting "Do not reencode AC3":
True HD and AC3 Plus --> AC3 (at a high bitrate determined by source)

If you set the 640Kbs option, 5.1 (DTS or AC3) is reencoded at 640Kbs, unless one of the above is selected.

Thank you for the clarification. Are there any plans to include an untouched audio (keeping TrueHD or DTS-HD MA) option? I can totally see not including that in the BD5 & BD9 size options but it would be great to have that as an option for the BD25 selection...thanks again for the information & great job w/the app...

Actually, it would be an easy fit for BD9 in movie only + untouched DTS Master Audio for example for films that are less than 2.5hours long. Provided they aren't grain fests.

...just clarifying, I realise this discussion has no place here, sorry about that :(

I almost forgot to leave positive feedback. I finally managed to make a perfect BD-5 (DVD-R) movie only backup of Wall-E. I had initially reported sync problems.

What I did: I loaded the 0115.mpls playlist into my standalone TSmuxerGUI. I stripped it down and left only video, english language and english subtitles, choosing blu-ray structure as output.

After that, I loaded the 0000.mpls of that new structure into BDrebuilder, clicked on AVCHD compliance, and a few hours later, BD-rebuilder gave me a nice, compressed BD5 in outstanding quality. No hickups, no sync problems. Works great on my Samsung P1500.

In the last week or so I have made about six copies, movie only, default settings using BD-RB v 18.7 with no problems. I do have a problem with image burn using dvd 9 dual layer media (verbatum dvd +r: 2.4x). The disk will not synchronize or finalize but will play in my standalone Sony BDP-S300 with no problem. Can anybody shed any light on image burn problem.

[laserfan]

I do have a problem with image burn using dvd 9 dual layer media (verbatum dvd +r: 2.4x). The disk will not synchronize or finalize ...Dunno what "synchronize" means, but ImgBurn is good and Verbatim's are good. I can only suggest, first make sure you burn at 2.4x and not 6x (set it to 2.4 in ImgBurn). Also you might try OPC (Optimum Power Calibration I think) which is an ImgBurn setting somewhere.

Beyond this lay perhaps a HW problem e.g. your burner or RAM memory.

Sounds more like a dodgy burner playing up. Verbatims hardly ever fail no matter what speed you burn them at...that or it could be bad memory, but since its failing at samepoint every time almost defo your burner is on its way out.

I feel like the bringer of bad news regarding audio issues on bd-9. I have just done a disc with a single audio track which was LPCM multi channel. This was converted into stereo. When you play the disc (which completed with no problems), the sound is only part of what should be there - no speech but background effects.

On checking the LPCM contained L C R channels, so it looks like the C was thrown away.

I have just used 'wav to ac3' and recreated the ac3 file. Interestingly it is the same size as yours but now with audio from the C channel. Remuxed the m2ts file with the replacement audio and it seems fine.

I finally got past that point in a backup, but it hasn't completed encoding the video yet, so I don't know if it will work completely.

I used mrr19121970's eacto, tsMuxer & ImgBurn Made Easy GUI from over on the AnyDVD Hi Def forums to make a BD structure with just the main movie and the english soundtrack. Since tsMuxer won't support the TrueHD soundtrack, I had it convert it to AC3. Then I ran BD-Rebuilder 0.18.7 on that BDMV folder. I first tried to make a movie only backup to BD-25. Even though there are not any subtitles in this folder I got the same error.

I then decided that since I already got rid of all the extra stuff I could do a full backup and accomplish the same thing. Only thing otherwise that I did differently was pick BD9 as the target. It made it past the audio portion and is now working on video.

Certainly not an elegant solution, but it may end up working. I'll let you know how it goes. If successful, I'll try it to a BD25 as I originally intended.

This may have already been mentioned but in v.0.18.7 you are not allowed to choose your subtitles. The previous version did not have this issue.

[jwgallardo]

JD: I tried TSMuxer separately (Thanks to MikeyBK for sending me a picture on how to use it). It worked!!!

Here is the summary:
I process Movie Only, BD5, Good(Fastest) options with BD-RB v0.18.7. As before, I burned the disc and it was recognized as BD as soon as loaded; but then the player got stuck without playing anything ans showing rare signs in the player's display.

I took the BD "working directory" and use the .264 file and ac3 file and muxed them using TSMuxer with TSMuxerGUI 1.8.4. I burned the disc and Voila! it work perfect on Denon as it was working with version 0.17.13. The only thing I didn't added were the subtitles. Looking at the working directory it seems that subtitles are the *.sup files correct?

Here are the meta files:

BD-RB v0.18.7 (Not working)

9422

TSMuxer (Working)

9423

I will check also with PS3 and let you know but I'm sure (as I imagine) that PS3 skipping issues are related to my Denon play/not play issue.

Please let me know if you need any other file to compare.

PS. I used the tsmuxer.exe file of BD-RB v0.18.7. I copy over the included one with the tsmuxer GUI 1.8.4. Wrong. I forgot to do this. I will try tomorrow and let you know. I will also try to add subtitles if it is as easy as adding the *.sup files.

PS2. Analyzing meta files it seems the only difference is that you added the original chapters of the original disc. TSMuxer is still dividing every 5 (minutes?). Perhaps, is this creating the issue?

Good day,
i made tens of BD9 with megui/tsmuxer all of them works perfectly on ps3 (subs and audio languages included). The point for me is that i'am not able to make bdrebuilder functionning cause of the audio subs extraction problem. The advantage of using Bdrebuilder is that you make a reencoded BD structure with few clicks and further (when blank BD get cheaper) you can keep all the menus extras etc. But for now at least for me it's not working at all.

[jdobbs]

@jwgallardo

Interesting you'd report that. Last night I went through several exercises to see what might make a difference between the original method (used in 0.17.13) and the post 0.18 versions. One of them was using the .264 files rather than the M2TS files (that were also created by TSMuxer) for the final muxing into movie-only. There is a fairly large difference in the file size between the two -- so something doesn't seem to be jiving. As a result, I modified the routines to use the .264 files instead for the next release (v0.18.8). Since I have no PS3 for testing I'll have to wait and see if it fixes the problem. I'm making one more update later today (to look for audio delays in M2TS files). I should be posting the update later today.

[jdobbs]

This may have already been mentioned but in v.0.18.7 you are not allowed to choose your subtitles. The previous version did not have this issue.The code for selecting subtitles is not implemented (same was true for previous versions), it was supposed to be disabled. That's why it is grayed out in the SETUP screen. I disabled it so I could avoid more bug reports. I need to do some more research because I found that removing subs can have unintended consequences on menus.

[Steff 320i]

Jdobbs: just made a small donation. It's not much, but it comes from the heart, bro.

Question: is there a hidden setting I can type into the rebuilder.ini in order to have the 5.1 sound converted to 192 or 160 kbps stereo during encoding? Just curious.

[rainfellow]

Having problems with one disc so far (as it was the first disc I tried). It's Wrestlemania 24 (no laughing please), I've tried both Full and Movie only. I get the same error on the same streams.

The main streams are VC-1, 1080i, 29.97fps with Multi-channel AC3.

Here's the log file of the latest attempt;

I have everything installed that is asked for, so I hope I have them set up correctly. The disc works in PowerDVD, so I know it's working fine (from my HDD).

Any help is appreciated. Also to let you know, my other way of encoding (RipBot264) also chokes on this disc. Could it be something weird with this disc??

[rainfellow]

Just to add to my above post. I saw in another thread that the problem I was getting was coming from x264. I did what JD said to do (running the command from the LASTCMD.TXT in a command window). I get the following errors...

x264 [error]: could not open input file 'C:\working\workfiles\info.avs'

I hope this helps shed some lite on what is going on, also if it tells someone what I'm doing incorrectly, please let me know as I would like to help as much as I can.

Thanks again!! :)

Hello Again From Ds9delta Just A Quick Thing I Noticed On Some Of My Recent BD Rips I Thought I'd Mention... Roughly 4 In Every 10 Bd's I Rip The Main Movie Would Allready Fit On A BD-25 Without Encoding If The Extras Were Just Shrunk A Bit One Is 25.3GB For Example Just Wondering (Hoping) Would You Be Able To Add An Encode Extras Only Option? In 18.8? Hope It's Not Too Much Trouble And As Always I Thank You For The Excrutiating Work Your Doing :thanks::):):):)

[DaMacFunkin]

Or a re-encode main movie only, as there can be absolute hours worth of extras on some disks, and like the guy said, once you you strip out audio tracks some disks are only a couple of gig too big.
Cheers

Thanks again!! :)Is it a VC-1 encode (original)? Chances are that segment was encoded with alternating interlaced and progressive sections -- that seems to throw the directshow decoder(s). I'm trying to figure out a way (short of including additional proprietary software) that might be an option for those circumstances. I can easily keep the original and adjust for BD-25 encodes -- but BD-5 and BD-9 needs a lower maximum bitrate in order to avoid skipping.

So it IS something weird with the disc.. kinda figured it had to be since all the ways I have to "archive" these all seem to choke on this one... will have to save it for another day I guess.

Keep up the great work it is all totally appreciated by myself as well as a good group of other people on here!!! :rolleyes:

[jdobbs]

Finally got a little time to do some more work. I've posted a link to an updated version of BD Rebuilder in the first post of this thread. Changes are:

- Corrected an error in which a stream with no audio
to extract could cause an error.
- Updated muxing command line in an attempt to correct
"skipping" issues with playback on PS3.
- Corrected an error in which "ConvertToYV12()" can be
multiply entered in an AVS file.
- Made some corrections related to audio stream
selection and PIDs used.
- Updated included X264.EXE to r1109.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Please limit all new bug reports to this version.

Thanks.

In the BD-RB executable's directory is a file called "LASTCMD.TXT". It holds the command line of the last encode attempted. Try copying the contents of that file and pasting it into a CMD window. That way we can see what is actually being returned in the encode attempt.

Thanks for all the great effort and time you have put into this software! It is truly amazing and works well! But i have to report an issue if you have the time. I was trying to backup my version of "DEATH SENTENCE" (featuring Kevin Bacon) and it has extra features in 480i. The movie itself was encoded nothing but perfect. The 480i stuff had a grey/green slow-motion effect to it. And everything was blocky. I never had this while doing other backups like "stealth". I have installed everything as suggested by you. Any idea? What am i doing wrong?

[jdobbs]

When someone completes and does a test on the PS3 please let me know if the new muxing command corrects the skipping issue.

Thanks.

The 480i stuff had a grey/green slow-motion effect to it. And everything was blocky. I never had this while doing other backups like "stealth". I have installed everything as suggested by you. Any idea? What am i doing wrong? You can copy that one (M2TS and CLPI) over verbatim renaming it appropriately... then increment the COMPLETED=n value in the INF file. Since it's 480i you don't have to worry about its bitrate being too high.

I am sorry for being such a noob and you´re such a pro but what has the correct interlaced 480i VC-1 encoding have to do with a well known disc manufacturer? (VERBATIM)...and i was not even worrying about high bitrates...

Using the latest version.

Does anyone know what is happening here.

The code for selecting subtitles is not implemented (same was true for previous versions), it was supposed to be disabled. That's why it is grayed out in the SETUP screen. I disabled it so I could avoid more bug reports. I need to do some more research because I found that removing subs can have unintended consequences on menus.

I agree that the previous version did have the grayed out subtitles in the SETUP menu, but however when you're on the STREAM tab after loading the blu ray folder you are able to take off any unwanted subtitles. This was on version 0.17.13. The newest version does not allow this so you're forced to include all the subtitles. I don't necessarily mind this but when I tried to burn The Mummy with the newest version with all the subtitles included in movie-only mode onto a DVD9, after toggling through the subtitles manually any time a character speaks the Egyptian language and you get the forced or written English subtitles you also get a set of French subtitles above even though the subtitles have been turned off. Now if you don't even toggle through the subtitles this does not happen. Still, I liked the ability to choose subtitles with the 0.17.13 version.

I think he means copy it verbatim (as in exactly as it is) not Verbatim (the media brand).

It didn't work correctly in 0.17.13 either -- the code wasn't and still isn't there to work properly. It may have removed them (because I mistakenly left it accessible) -- but it wouldn't properly update the output references... By the way this is about the 15th time I've explained this in this same thread (writer's embellishment purposeful).

The high bitrates are the reason you wouldn't normally be able to do what I just said, and if you read a few posts back where we discussed the subject you'd see why I said it.

[DarWun]

When someone completes and does a test on the PS3 please let me know if the new muxing command corrects the skipping issue.

Thanks.
I've got an encode going right now that should finish off within the next six hours. I'll check it before heading into work tomorrow morning and post back.

I forgot I still had the WORKFILES directory for a failed Max Payne movie only BD9 encode. BD-Rebuilder 18.08 asked me if I wanted to continue, and I said yes. The rebuilt disk plays back fine in the PS3.

I will still do a full encode overnight to see if any other problems arise.

Not being competitive or anything, but I think I beat you to it by a titch :p Although I cheated a bit by doing a rebuild using a WORKFILES directory created by a previous version.

I kid, I kid. Good to know that the latest version creates working disks on the PS3 for a full encode/rebuild to BD9.

[GaPony]

I ran Pride & Glory through beta 18.08 to a Movie Only BD9. This is a movie that has been problematic for the PS3 from the beginning. This time, even with using the fastest (Good) setting, there was no skipping, or freezing and the PQ is very good. The audio syncs up perfectly. I don't know what you changed, but you apparently found whatever the problem was.

I look forward to trying several more movies.

Good to hear Ga. I did that title last night, but using 0.17.13 since 0.18.07 still had the PS3 dislike :p

Anyways... strange occurrence on this title, BD-RB output it without leaving a clpi file, thus it wouldn't play. And I couldn't save this encoding because TSMuxer gave a bit stream error and wouldn't output any clpi files neither??? Odd.... TSMuxer also keeps seeing this m2ts (or the AVS.264 file in the workfiles folder) as 1920 x 1084??

Anyways, I'm glad that 0.18.8 was successful, on this title as well as resolving the PS3 incompatibility.
Cheers to you JD, for nipping this PS3 issue in the bud.... even though it was more probably an issue with the PS3 rather than 0.18.07...

[jdobbs]

Interesting issue. If you remux using an M2TS as source that was created by TSMUXER, you get the PS3 skip. If you use the exact same original .264 file directly, though, it works ok.

So for those who might be working similar issues (outside of BD-RB): remember not to use TSMUXER for anything but first generation muxes.

[jdobbs]

I will still do a full encode overnight to see if any other problems arise. Cool, thanks. The fix was only related to the remux -- so reencoding shouldn't matter.

Keep up the excellent work JD!!! You are the sh.... well you know!!! :thanks:

I'm going to redo Wall-E since I did that one with my old method and see how it looks via BD-Rebuilder. I'll let you know once I get it done... have other stuff running at the moment.

Crashing here too...

Just tried an encode of a converted HD DVD (Blade Runner Final Cut)...

I have a recoded DTS\3 commentry tracks\1080p VC1 in an m2ts output by TSMuxer with Bluray structure. Latest BD-Rebuilder after less than 1% in 1st pass (x264 crashes).

Previous version of BD-Rebuilder works fine

I think I fixed my issue. I made two changes in ffdshow: 1) disabled coreavc and used libavcodec for x264, and 2) enabled vc-1 decoding. Not sure which change fixed it - I suspect the former. Perhaps the new x264.exe doesn't like coreavc? When I get some time later tonight I will revert one of the changes to see what did it for me.

Previous version of BD-Rebuilder works fine I updated X264.EXE to r1109 (the previous release used r1082). There have been a lot of changes, you may want to step back to r1082 and see if it corrects it. The older version should be accessible through the ZIP file for BD-RB v0.18.7.

If you could run the LASTCMD.TXT command line from a DOS window, it would be very helpful to know what is happening so we can report it or fix it.

Tried my first BD9 yesterday on my new S550. Amazing picture and sound compared to my WMV-HD rips played back on the Xbox 360.

I'm not touching WMV-HD ever again...Can't wait for some hardware streamer of Bluray structure to pop up, only benefit of WMVHD is you can plonk 'em on a NAS.

Ran into an issue when I did 'The Secret Life of Bees' last night... screenshots show how 0.18.8 default selected the first DTS-HD audio, and selected the longest (extended director's cut) movie playlist. What resulted was at least one full scene in which audio of another scene was playing while the video of this scene was playing.
It plays perfect thru the beginning and most of the end (hadn't checked every scene towards the end of the movie yet).

Have just started a rebuild using v01.18.08. Couldn't do this earlier because I had .07b running up till this morning.

Am rebuilding Hitman. Source is ripped to HDD using txMuxeR where I removed all extra subs, except for english.

Upon hitting the Backup button, it reads everything fine and then commences the phase one process which it completes in about 9 minutes.

Pass 1 then starts... and immediately jumps to Pass 2, tho the info at bottom of GUI shows Pass 1/2 (pls see attached jpg) and "Overall Progress" has jumped to over 50%.

That shouldn't have any impact at all. The selected audio PID should be consistent across all parts of the playlist. Are you saying that one of the component M2TS files didn't have the appropriate stream?


Appears to be so. I tried playing the m2ts files in the workfolder, but no audio... would have to remux all (or AVS.264 files) from that folder with the audio to see if it also has this issue...

BTW, I'm wondering if I was supposed to add 'both' instances of the DTS-HD audio with that extended playlist encode?? When I playback the original, it doesn't matter when I change the audio selection between that audio_1 or audio_3, they both play the same.

Have just started a rebuild using v01.18.08. Couldn't do this earlier because I had .07b running up till this morning.

Am rebuilding Hitman. Source is ripped to HDD using txMuxeR where I removed all extra subs, except for english.

Upon hitting the Backup button, it reads everything fine and then commences the phase one process which it completes in about 9 minutes.

Pass 1 then starts... and immediately jumps to Pass 2, tho the info at bottom of GUI shows Pass 1/2 (pls see attached jpg) and "Overall Progress" has jumped to over 50%.

Log files is

Hope the info above helps troubleshooting. Will run another rebuild from the original with all subs in place after this run completes. Or, if it is possible to have multiple instances of BD-RE running(?), I can do just try with original source and abort after thie first few percent.

JamesLook in your BDREBUILDER.INI file. It sounds like you have manually selected one of the test mode encode quality settings rather than those on the menu.

[MikeyBK]

That shouldn't have any impact at all. The selected audio PID should be consistent across all parts of the playlist. Are you saying that one of the component M2TS files didn't have the appropriate stream?

Appears to be so. I tried playing the m2ts files in the workfolder, but no audio... would have to remux all (or AVS.264 files) from that folder with the audio to see if it also has this issue...

BTW, I'm wondering if I was supposed to add 'both' instances of the DTS-HD audio with that extended playlist encode?? When I playback the original, it doesn't matter when I change the audio selection between that audio_1 or audio_3, they both play the same.

Well I can now verify that indeed one of the m2ts files are the one that has the audio issue. M2ts VID 96 is the one that has the wrong audio throughout. It's only 3:15 seconds or so, and being that the extended and theatrical versions are 4:00 different, I'm guessing there might still be a :45 m2ts with similar issues??

Edit: I don't see any other m2ts files that short, althought there are smaller in size. I'll be remuxing all the m2ts files 'except' that VID_96 with the audio from the workfiles folder to see if it synchronizes.

I doubt that but wouldn't be surprised that I had a senior moment... :p

Comparing the INI from .07 vs .08, I see that the .07 does not have the ENCODE_QUALITY=5 parameter. Other than that, everything's the same.

Edit @ 1536 CST:
On looking back, I had left the Quality at "High" because it was marked as default in the Settings menu. I assume that the ENCODE_QUALITY=5 indicates that?

Edit @ 1539 CST:
The "FPS" was at around 12+ earlier but has since dropped to 11.53, and this speed has been - in my experience - somewhat the average for Pass 1 of the video encoding when the stats file is generated. Pass 2 speeds have been around 2+ to 5. Except when I tried it on my Lenovo T60 laptop when it was crawling at 0.1 :p

[MikeyBK]

As for 'The Secret Life of Bees'... I think that since is a bit more complicated thatn the usual Blurays, having both multiple-m2ts movie playlists and multiple main movie DTS_HD audios, and a extended version/theatrical version options on top of that... it is more up to the user to verify that they are selecting the correct audio to match up to the correct version of the movie.

The extended version and theatrical versions have several different m2ts files in their playlists. And their own DTS_HD audio stream for each as well. HD_Audio_3 is a couple hundred MBs larger than the HD_Audio_1.

Here's what I'm going to try JD, I'll be demuxing the DTS_HD Audio_3 from the original and downconvert it to DTS, then remux it together with all the m2ts files in the workfiles folder... it should work right? I'll report back.

BD-Rebuilder 0.18.8 seems to be quite faster than previous versions, and I think it did it's job on this title as well... it just should've been up to me to recognize the complexity of this title and adjust the settings appropriately myself....
I think all-in-all, this version is a good update.

I think all-in-all, this version is a good update. The whole idea of multiple M2TS files is so you can do exactly that. It is much simpler and more elegant than the way DVD does it -- mainly because of the larger buffer space on BD. But when you select a track, you are selecting a PID. That PID has to be consistent across all the component parts (M2TS files) of the selected Playlist in order for a BD player to play it back seamlessly. BD-RB keeps the audio based upon PID -- so I'm not sure how you could get a mixture of more than one track... unless the audio selections were changed while the files were being processed.

I just realized I had it in the INI I included in the ZIP file (I'd been doing some testing). That's wrong. Either delete that line or go under SETTINGS/ENCODER OPTIONS and select the speed you'd like to use. If you leave it at 5 it will go very fast, but output with terrible quality.

Thanks JD. Might as well abort the current encode and run again. Appreciate the comeback. And the wonderful app that you have put out. Saves me a lot of work re-encoding BDs to 1280x720 so that they would fit on a DVD9.

Just FYI, what I did below worked... remuxing the DTS-HD (downconverted to DTS) track_3 in with the m2ts files from the workfiles folder... all audio is now perfect....
Only problem is that the entire BD-9 is now 8.02 GBs in size, so I'll have to either convert that DTS into AC3... or reencode over again with BD-Rebuilder 0.18.8, just making sure thought this time to select the correct audio track (DTS-HD_track 3) to encode with that extended version playlist...

Here's what I'm going to try JD, I'll be demuxing the DTS_HD Audio_3 from the original and downconvert it to DTS, then remux it together with all the m2ts files in the workfiles folder... it should work right? I'll report back.

I am so Happy... The disc that always gave me trouble with BD-RB, Heroes Season 2 Disc 2, Completed today. Full backup to BD-25.... Sweet.... Great Job jdobbs.... :thanks:

[jwjohnson]

jdobbs,

I think I figured out what was causing my problem with the audio extractions. Here are the last couple of messages about it: Can you capture a listing of your working directory immediately after this happens and post it? It appears that a "rename" system call is saying the output file already exists. I'd like to see what is there.

I tried again and got the same error.

I decided to install BD-Rebuilder and all the necessary other progams for it on a second computer that I have. I was able to do a movie only backup of Eagle Eye with version 0.18.8 with no problems. It was done at Encode_Quality=5 just for speed, but seemed to work ok. It's just a bit slower machine.

Here's the log from that job:

I then went back to the first computer and uninstalled and reinstalled all the software. Still had the same issue. The first computer is actually a Windows XP virtual machine running in Parallels on my MacPro (4x2.66 cores). Other than running in Parallels the only other difference I could see was that my Working folder was on a network drive. When I switched it to one of the two virtual drives XP was running on it worked fine until it ran out of space near the end of pass 1. Even though the network drive is just another drive on my Mac that I share with the XP vm I'm guessing the network address is too long for some operation and maybe that's why it fails.

I can now either expand the virtual drives my XP vm uses or just run the program on the PC I've got next to it. It's only a dual core AMD 2.6 so will take a bit longer.

I don't know if this will help others with the audio extraction errors, but I hope so.

I think that since the extended version had some different m2ts files in it's playlist than the theatrical (not only the added m2ts), perhaps there was no PID in that 1st DTS-HD track (Edit: what I meant was that there was no PID for m2ts VID_96 in that DTS-HD Track_1), so BD-RB just used the next ?? Actually it is extracted by TSMUXER, if there was associated PID in that file, you should have ended up with a sound file that was too short. I couldn't imagine TSMUXER extracting another track as a replacement... that's just crazy.

[datman]

One of the 2 disc I have not been able to encode “Patton” was successful last night with 18.8.:thanks: I also rip to image with anydvd. I tried working off the disc last week and it failed. Anydvd would not rip the movie either. So I tried ripping to image, perhaps that was the fix.

Tonight I’m attempting to encode my hardest film “The Longest Day” I tried it 4 or 5 times. 1st I’m working from folder if that fails I will try from image. I will post my results

[MikeyBK]

Well whatever the situation was, it had the wrong audio for VID_96, and what's even more wild is that VID_96 isn't even the extra scene.. it's in both the theatrical and extended versions of the movie when I play it back from the original/?

BTW, I was able to remux the DTS-HD Track_3 audio (converted to AC3) with the BD-Rebuilder output m2ts file (while deselecting the audio track_1 that was currently in that m2ts), and the end result was perect..... all audio is now present and in it's correct place.

Not sure why this may have happened, but I did not do any pre-processing of any kind. It is also pretty rare to have two completely seperate DTS-HD audios for two versions of the movie, right? Usually, as you say, all the audio for both versions of the movie are contained in the audio streram and only called up when/if needed... but apparently not if there are 'two' main movie audio streams for the different versions....

Anyways, BD-Rebuilder (and x264) did it's job like it was supposed to... I think I should have recognized that this Bluray was a bit more complex than the usual seamlessly branched titles, and should have selected the correct audio stream accordingly.

Learned another way that the movie industry could complicate their blurays further though...lmao... but it's all good and I won't have to reencode this title again afterall...

[MikeyBK]

Two screenshots below shows the different m2ts files in the seperate playlist.
m2ts 77 and m2ts 96 are the same scene except that 96 is 717 MBs while 77 is 616 MBs (perhaps some of the extended scene?}....

Not sure if this is even worth for you to figure out, considering it has been the only Bluray like this so far...

As expected from the PS3 experience, Denon BD-3800 is also working fine with the new v0.18.8 version.

I processed HITMAN using BD5/movie only/EQ: Better(fast)/AC3640. It played perfect in Denon. Even PQ is good since the movie is only 94mins. Now, I need that i7 processor because it still took 18hrs to process Hitman in my laptop T61 computer.

JD: Can you give us your comments about Encoder Quality results? To me, for a 90mins movie, fast option was "almost" perfect but I would love to use the default settings. How much extra time is that? Does it save time if it is BD9 vs BD5? (I was using BD5 during the debugging problems with my Denon but now I'll switch to BD9 until next bug.

P.S. For the people with i7 processors, the process time of 5 hours is using High Quality or Highest Quality option for encoder. Is there any advantage of using Highest Quality?

[dmancornell]

on my 4ghz i7 highest quality takes 40% more time and i have not noticed anything different whatsoever on video quality, using bd-25 and watching on a sony 52" lcd.

since the difference is 3 more hours im sticking to high quality.

Its not a problem with BD-Rebuilder, its a limitation of the PS3. Don't waste your time with full movies to BD9 or BD5 for PS3 playback...it will fail. If you want the full movie for the PS3, you have to use BD25 media.

If you want to use BD5 or BD9 discs in the PS3, you have to make a Movie Only copy... with the option for "Stricter AVCHD compliance for Movie Only" enabled (checked). I've done 50 of these discs for the PS3... trust me. ;)

i've done about 30 myself (mo) i'm curious about quality of video when you put 4-5 hours of content on dvd9. thanks for the answer.

[YolkiePolkie]

Great work Mr Dobbs, I've been using v0.17.13 for a few weeks now with no problems. As I have a PS3 and you seem to have the skipping issue sorted I am about to use v0.18.08. Just a few questions about the new version:
By ticking stricter AVCHD compliance for movie only, do I no longer have to patch the index file for use on the PS3?
Is there a big difference in encoding times between default high setting and highest, and is there a noticeable increase in picture quality?

I know these aren't bugs but I wasn't sure how/where else to ask.

Thanks again

I beleived that the problem is the latest versions of FFDSHOW and X264. With new BD Rebuilder release, X264 also crash in my computer. So I substitute new X264 version with version 1102 and problem was solved. Then I decided to unistalled FFDSHOW and Haali Mux and installed K-lited Coded Pack 453 that has a previous version of FFDSHOW and now the latest version of X264 doesn't crash...

OK with the x264 executable from 18.7 it's trucking along... Did it's extract of Audio and went into the encode process.

I beleived that the problem is the latest versions of FFDSHOW and X264. With new BD Rebuilder release, X264 also crash in my computer. So I substitute new X264 version with version 1102 and problem was solved. Then I decided to unistalled FFDSHOW and Haali Mux and installed K-lited Coded Pack 453 that has a previous version of FFDSHOW and now the latest version of X264 doesn't crash...If the latest revision of x264 crashes, report the bug, don't complain about it while giving no useful information... we aren't psychic and can't fix bugs if people don't tell us about them!

(and "it crashes" is about as much of a bug report as "my computer won't work". If there's a crash, try to find what settings cause it, or at least provide a backtrace from a debug build.)

[drmih]

Its not a problem with BD-Rebuilder, its a limitation of the PS3. Don't waste your time with full movies to BD9 or BD5 for PS3 playback...it will fail. If you want the full movie for the PS3, you have to use BD25 media.

If you want to use BD5 or BD9 discs in the PS3, you have to make a Movie Only copy... with the option for "Stricter AVCHD compliance for Movie Only" enabled (checked). I've done 50 of these discs for the PS3... trust me. ;)

I would slightly disagree with this only from the perspective of long term compatibilty. I have found that full disc copies to bd-9 are good quality (and you get the full structure), and although the ps3 shows them as data discs, you can still play the streams. Therefore although it won't play straight away like an avchd it's only a couple of clicks to play it and you can work your way through the extras as well. The benefit being that if there is ever an update for the PS3 to make it compatible (and all Sony standalones are) or you buy a compatible standalone when they are cheaper, you have full disc bd-9s

I am not complaining!!!
I just explain how I deal with the problem. I think that there is a compatibility problem between both latest versions. I solved the problem going back to a previous version of FFDSHOW.
So not offence, I think that X264 is one of the best encoders available!!!

[Dark Shikari]

I am not complaining!!!
I just explain how I deal with the problem.But saying "it crashed, so I used another revision" is the worst possible thing us developers can hear. It tells us:

a) There is a serious problem.
b) People aren't giving us any useful information about the serious problem.
therefore
c) We can't do anything about the serious problem, so the serious problem will continue to exist.

Furthermore, it doesn't even tell us which revision introduced the problem.

[jdobbs]

(and "it crashes" is about as much of a bug report as "my computer won't work". If there's a crash, try to find what settings cause it, or at least provide a backtrace from a debug build.) C'mon, man. No sense yelling at people, they're only trying to help.

We don't even know if it is X264 causing the problem (I already know the BD-RB side is buggy) -- so there's no bug to report yet.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Guys, like I said in post #1210, the encoding of Hancock was moving along with the x264 executable from the 18.7 beta release when I left this morning. But using the executable included with the 18.8 release it failed. Also when I selected to close the program when the error came up it continued to run not completely abort...

Let me know if you need anything else on this. I can get the x264 executable of 18.8 back in there and get some more information for you when I get home tonight after work. Just let me know.

I have a bug to report using v0.18.08:

[11:52:43] BD Rebuilder v0.18.8 (beta)
- Source: GALAPAGOS_UK
- Input BD size: 21.67 GB
- Approximate total content: [02:26:52.937]

[11:52:43] PHASE ONE, Encoding
- Reached retry limit. Aborting.
[12:01:00] - Failed video encode, aborted

I did have FFDSHOW installed and also made sure I had AVC decoding enabled.

The blu-ray disc has 8.m2ts files in the streams folder, seen as 3 vc-1 streams by BD Rebuilder.

any ideas?

v0.17.13 only saw the first vc-1 stream.

[jdobbs]

...The blu-ray disc has 8.m2ts files in the streams folder, seen as 3 vc-1 streams by BD Rebuilder... I don't know what this means. You've selected MOVIE-ONLY, and if the movie is contained in only those three streams, that should be what is displayed.

Can you post the contents of LASTCMD.TXT (located in the BD-RB folder)?

Also, can you click on SETTINGS/VERBOSE STATUS REPORTING and run it again? I'd like to see a little more detail.

I did have FFDSHOW installed and also made sure I had AVC decoding enabled. You also need to have VC-1 decoding enabled.

v0.17.13 only saw the first vc-1 stream. I'd guess that was a bug in v0.17.13.

Thanks.

Hi all, I will start off by saying i have been a DVD-RB user from the beginning, also a doom9 user for years but this is my first post here.. My problem is i have tried to make a backup of my UK THE SIMPSONS MOVIE, i tell BD-RB to keep all audio and not convert and select size BD25 (all others default), after 4hrs the job is complete and the BD works fine BUT its only around 13GB not 25GB? (but looks great)

Using brand new built i7 PC with fresh install Vista Ultimate 32bit & BD-RB v01807.. will be trying same movie again tonight with new version BD-RB v0.18.08 (beta) to see if that helps,

I have just run Alien Vs. Predator 2 through BD-RB v0.18.08 (beta) all other needed software upto date also, full disc mode with same setting as above and its completed in 7 hrs ish and looks great and size is 21.3GB (close to the 25GB i asked)

Also like to say thanks to jdobbs & all others involved .. cant wait until this software is at a final release :) donation on its way !!

Donation sent from m0neygrabber :)

I would slightly disagree with this only from the perspective of long term compatibilty. I have found that full disc copies to bd-9 are good quality (and you get the full structure), and although the ps3 shows them as data discs, you can still play the streams. Therefore although it won't play straight away like an avchd it's only a couple of clicks to play it and you can work your way through the extras as well. The benefit being that if there is ever an update for the PS3 to make it compatible (and all Sony standalones are) or you buy a compatible standalone when they are cheaper, you have full disc bd-9s

You can play individual streams on the PS3, but I haven't had any success in anything remotely resembling a normal playback for a full movie copy on the PS3, using DVD media. If you have a movie with a single m2ts for the main movie, it will play through, but there will be no chapter selection or any other options. The AVCHD (movie only) copy on the other hand, will play on most, if not all current players. I'm not certain the problem with full movie on BD9 or BD5 isn't somehow related to the fact that the PS3 is a gaming console first and a Blu-Ray player second.

Long term compatibility may be a tricky issue for all of us, but for those with only a PS3 it will likely be a bit more complicated. When considering a new standalone, PS3 owners may want to stay in the Sony family, or at least they make sure they buy a player that fully supports AVCHD.

[BenieUK]

Just tried The Mummy 3 UK version... failed with a crash from x264.exe about 5 and a half hours into it.. full disc mode, movie had been done was the next stream (extras) that it failed on.

[jdobbs]

I'm thinking it may be saturation, but Dark Shikari would be a better source for that information (he's probably the most prolific developer for X264). I know I ran a test encode last night with the intent of putting a single LOST episode on a BD-9, and found the output to be only 5GB. I ran it again with a BD-5 target and it sized very exactly. I made the assumption that it was encoder saturation -- but didn't follow up by looking at any of the logs.

[jdobbs]

Just tried The Mummy 3 UK version... failed with a crash from x264.exe about 5 and a half hours into it.. full disc mode, movie had been done was the next stream (extras) that it failed on.
I'm still waiting for someone to run the failed encode from the command line using LASTCMD.TXT so I can see what we're getting... just the word "crash" alone doesn't give a person a lot to work with. I've already gotten at least 10 of those reports on the new release.

[DIVX2009]

JDOBBS, support for lpcm 7.1 audio ???

[jdobbs]

Not yet. Maybe some day, after I get past all the major bug fixes.

[BenieUK]

I have tried what you said (I'm still waiting for someone to run the failed encode from the command line using LASTCMD.TXT so I can see what we're getting) but get no info when the error happens.. do i need to rerun with VERBOSE STATUS REPORTING on before seeing the error report?

Also i dont have vc-1 decoding on in FFDShow as at the min i get around 16fps but if i put it on i get arounf 0.35fps... do i need it on ?

thanks Hmmm... this seems to indicate that it didn't even get to the point of attempting to encode -- INFO.AVS just writes information about the stream to an intermediate file.

What I don't understand is why it is happening to you but not to me? Can you also post the contents of INFO.AVS?

[MikeyBK]

Well I also had the x264 crash but only on one title.... It did a fine job a couple nights ago on The Secret Life of Bees, but had the same crashing as Yolkie when I attempted Pride & Glory last night.... I then overwrote that x264.exe with the exe from 0.18.07 and it appeared to encode fine, but when I awoke this morning BD-RB had completely shut down and exited, with only about half of the encoding done???

Anyways I reloaded the current x264.exe back into 0.18.8 and attempted a different movie, SpaceBuddies, and the current x264 no longer crashed.

Just FYI, Pride & Glory is VC-1 encoded..... but GaPony stated that he was successful on this title a couple nights ago already?? Not sure what to think at this point.

jdobbs, just an apology for not posting that lastcommand.txt thingy, i've got nasty flu and bright lights are killing me eyes. if still needed will post in couple of days. Sorry :(

[mmace]

Also i dont have vc-1 decoding on in FFDShow as at the min i get around 16fps but if i put it on i get arounf 0.35fps... do i need it on ?x264 kept saying it was crashing for me with a VC-1 disc so I had to turn it on in FFDShow and it dropped to about the same speed, for a full disc back up it took 12 days, it was either that or it got no where because of crashing

[jdobbs]

I gotta' tell you. If I had to wait 12 days for an encode, I'd probably just buy an extra copy of every movie... more likely though, I'd buy a new computer. You must get tired just from shoveling coal into the rear of that one. ;)

Also i dont have vc-1 decoding on in FFDShow as at the min i get around 16fps but if i put it on i get arounf 0.35fps... do i need it on ? The best solution is to install Windows Media Player 11. It will install a WMV11 codec that works well. I'll be releasing v0.18.9 tomorrow -- hopefully it will help. The VERBOSE STATUS REPORTING just gives a little more detail in the logs...

[datman]

One of the 2 disc I have not been able to encode “Patton” was successful last night with 18.8.:thanks: I also rip to image with anydvd. I tried working off the disc last week and it failed. Anydvd would not rip the movie either. So I tried ripping to image, perhaps that was the fix.

Tonight I’m attempting to encode my hardest film “The Longest Day” I tried it 4 or 5 times. 1st I’m working from folder if that fails I will try from image. I will post my results

Yes it was sucessful:thanks: in 6.5 hours holy smokes was that fast

[jdobbs]

Yeah -- but it was probably done with the INI setting at ENCODE_QUALITY=5 (that I left set by mistake), which won't look good in most cases (except possibly BD-25).

[MR.WaynesWorld]

OK jdobbs, I put back the X264 executable and started the encode of Hancock again. When the x264 error poped up I left it hang. Went into lastcmd to get you the last command.

I earlier posted an error report on "Day after tomorrow". I got an error while backing up (find post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1247875&postcount=1130)).
Later I saw this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1248749#post1248749) from setarip_old about rebooting and from Atak_Snajpera about using WMV11. I realized I didn't boot after I installed everything neededfor your program. So I finally did.

[Capsbackup]

Another successful backup, :thanks:
No issues on playback for Zack and Miri on my BX1. Used BD-RB v0.18.8 with included .x264, movie only, kept 640kbps AC3, BD-5 size. It could be considered slightly undersized at 4.13GB, but my guess is noone could tell the difference visually. Completed in 5 hours and 3 minutes on i7 920 at 2.67GHz. :)
Thanks again jdobbs!!
P.S. I do hope "shut down after completion" can be implemented soon since I no longer have to wait over night ( or over the next few days ) for my backup to finish, and that humming to shut down sound will greatly improve my sleep pattern. :rolleyes:

I don't know if this is a bug, but as far as I can tell any ISO files from 18.7 and 18.8 will not play in pdvd8. Anything before works fine

[jdobbs]

OK jdobbs, I put back the X264 executable and started the encode of Hancock again. When the x264 error poped up I left it hang. Went into lastcmd to get you the last command.

What should I do now....Run CMD.EXE and cut/paste that command line into it. When it runs, see what error is reported.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

@jdobbs, check post 1241 for results...

[datman]

Yeah -- but it was probably done with the INI setting at ENCODE_QUALITY=5 (that I left set by mistake), which won't look good in most cases (except possibly BD-25).


what should it be, I checked and it is set =3

[datman]

I don't know if this is a bug, but as far as I can tell any ISO files from 18.7 and 18.8 will not play in pdvd8. Anything before works fine

for what it's worth I converted a BDRB file dated 1-20-09 to ISO tonight and it will mount and play.

I have had the "Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only" checked since about this time

[jdobbs]

what should it be, I checked and it is set =3
That's correct for the "High Quality" setting. That variable is set by the selection on the ENCODER SETTINGS menu. But I added a couple of "hidden" settings for testing (mainly to speed things up). I accidentally left one set in the INI I sent out in the v0.18.8 ZIP file.

[dmancornell]

2nd update on my above post. the stuttering was a problem with powerdvd, so the image is fine.

trying again now with tsmuxer 1.8.8 beta

[hlonipha]

I have Nero 9 or Img burn. could someone post a step by step on how to burn to a dvd5 please ?


Thanks

May be necessary to update the PowerDVD 8. I've done tests with Amadeus and the target=8150 and every
thing ok.

[mmace]

I gotta' tell you. If I had to wait 12 days for an encode, I'd probably just buy an extra copy of every movie... more likely though, I'd buy a new computer. You must get tired just from shoveling coal into the rear of that one. ;)Ha ha, I know what you mean, I will have a nice new i7 by the end of the month. I didn't even need the shrink I was doing, I was just testing the software and was determined for it to work!

[jdobbs]

The 21 times that you got "Reached retry limit. Aborting" is not a good sign... that means that each of those sections of the disc did not finish encoding. That would logically create a problem in the rebuild.

Something is causing X264 to fail in encoding those segments. I would suggest you step back to the previous version of X264.

[jdobbs]

Ok I copied the last command into a command prompt to execute it and came up with this..

Hope that helps..... When it crashes, can you select the "more info" (or whatever it says) button on the popup and see where it says it happened? That way we can see if it was in the encoder or possibly the CODEC.

Interestingly I have done a number of encodes with this version of X264 and haven't had a crash yet. Is there anything unique about your setup, codecs, configuration?

What worries me is that the issue seems to go away by stepping back to X264 r1082... but all I have are reports, no personal experiences -- I guess I'll just change back in the next release, but I was hoping more info would come in that we could pass over to the X264 developers. I hate to lose all those speed improvements that have been implemented.

[jdobbs]

Just as a test, could one of the folks who is experiencing "crashes" with X264, please download this version (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/x264.exe) (r1112) and see if (by some chance) the issue has resolved itself?

A quick response would be appreciated. I'd like to put out a new BD-RB release. Thanks.

[tekmobile]

Is there any hidden settings that will allow a previously processed disc to just be rebuilt without having to re-encode the entire disc.

Many Thanks
keep up the good work

Looks like it may have been a glitch specific to the r1109 release. I'll include r1112 in a release today.

[YolkiePolkie]

Update with Galapagos:

The m2ts file ripped by AnyDVD would only play audio using VLC media player. With Cyberlink Power DVD I got the attached picture with the expected audio.

Perhaps this is a AnyDVD problem. What do you think JDobbs?

I've just found this thread where someone was having similar problems with Galapagos blu-ray, but no solution has been found

http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-144282.html

[jdobbs]

I've just posted a link to v0.18.09 (beta) on the first post of this thread. The changes are:
- Changed the method for determining fps/framecounts
and other file info so that AVISYNTH returns are
used only as a backup. Small speed improvement.
- Made changes that lower the likelihood that video
encodes will end in unspecific "failure".
- Enhanced error detection to more clearly identify
specific error locations.
- Updated X264 version to r1112. Seems to fix errors
that some received on r1109 -- but not repeatable
on reference machine in testing.
- Added code to automatically back into X264 r1082
after two failed attempts to encode.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[DaMacFunkin]

Although i aint been watching the ps3 skipping thread, will it be possible to re-rip an already re-encoded disk and have the program remux all the streams to make them ps3 compliant, if you follow what i'm trying to say. :confused:

[jdobbs]

I'd just demux it with TSMUXER and then remux it.

http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-144282.html

Your problem is nothing to do with this thread or any program.

It is because Galapagos is 1080i source and there is no directshow decoder available for free that can decode 1080i VC1 properly...

It is NOT a problem with AnyDVD HD\BD-Rebuilder

EDIT - Just checked that thread and you're just spamming I posted myself in that thread with an answer as concise as you are going to get - take your question to that thread if you need more help because it doesn't belong here. (no offense)

[YolkiePolkie]

Nope I'm not spamming - that wasn't me on that thread. If you read this thread from page 61 I originally thought it may be bug with BD Rebuilder as I was getting failed video encode messages. I was updating jdobbs that I think it's no longer a bug for him to think about. I didn't want to waste his time anymore with this. I will forgive you because you're getting over flu ;-)

EDIT - thanks for pointing out what you think the problem is. That's honestly appreciated.

[dmancornell]

Try running the mux from the command line:

"c:\path\to\bd-rb\tools\tsmuxer.exe" "c:\working\path\mux_00000.meta" "c:\working\path\TMP"

See what error is occurring.

tried with tsmuxer 1.8.8, still get the same bitstream error. Looks like it's a tsmuxer problem so I'm giving up.

[jdobbs]

It is because Galapagos is 1080i source and there is no directshow decoder available for free that can decode 1080i VC1 properly... I think the WMV11 codec will do 1080i correctly (I've used it on several) -- it's the hybrid sources of interlaced/progressive I think are where there is still a problem.

[MikeyBK]

Thanks for the update JD, will run this tonite...
Just FYI though, 0.18.8 with the x264 r1109 was actually successful for me on 3 out of four encodings....with only crashes when attempting Pride & Glory (which was the only VC-1 encoded BD out of the four).... so I attempted other VC-1 BD's and they also crashed that version of x264
....perhaps a glitch in that version of x264 related to VC-1 encoded Blurays? Just thought that might be useful info for Dark Shikari and the other developers of x264...
EDIT: never mind, I see one of the guys had the same with Tropic Thunder, and that one is encoded in h264... I'll just stick to posting about the new version of BD-Rebuilder...lol

[cyberdoggy]

O.K. I am using v0.18.9 doing a full movie encode and it gets to a particular vid_00003 and a box pops up and says "xvidcore.dll not found, can anyone clue me in on what that pertains too? Thanks and keep up the great work to all of us here testing this phenomenal little app. :)

[laserfan]

I think the WMV11 codec will do 1080i correctly (I've used it on several) -- it's the hybrid sources of interlaced/progressive I think are where there is still a problem.I wonder how one would identify these (hybrids)? It was Mamma Mia! where I encoded some of the extras separately (using DG's tool) because BD-RB failed on them--is there a tool (or method) to id when a clip has both IL and Prog content?

Thanks and keep up the great work to all of us here testing this phenomenal little app. :) Did you install and configure the FFDSHOW package? If so, I can't imagine why an XVID dll is being called.

Is this a real disc or something that has been built by other packages? That XVID call sure seems suspicious.

[Furiousflea]

Not sure if anyone has asked already but I noticed you haven't re-enabled subtitle removal support again since a few 0.17.xx releases?

I've tried editing ini but to no avail, BD-Rebuilder pays no attention to the setting when changed to "1" to enable. Is this a deliberate choice for compatibility sake?

Not sure it's that beneficial many Blurays have 500-800mb+ of subtitle date, makes BD9\5 backups extremely wasteful. Sorry if asked already did go back a few pages but nobody seems to mind?

I'd really appreciate it anyway as I'm stuck using 0.17.xx for now and I'm sure that this version has screwed my BD9 full backup of "The Matrix" (no audio or subs audible or selectable for main feature, but audio fully present in all extras etc)...

Any ideas? Thanks jdobbs, sorry about not providing that last cmd thing feelin bit better this evening and looks like it was just a dodgy version of x264 :)

[datman]

I don't know if this is a bug, but as far as I can tell any ISO files from 18.7 and 18.8 will not play in pdvd8. Anything before works fine



for what it's worth I converted a BDRB file dated 1-20-09 to ISO tonight and it will mount and play.



I have had the "Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only" checked since about this time


Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only was my problem. I did Patton today and it will play the ISO and I thought I forgot to uncheck the Do not covert dts to ac3 because I have the DTS 1509kbps sound. The only option I had checked in setup was limit one track for each language:confused:

What I did do is change the quality setting from 3 to 2. Last night when I started the encode I thought if 5 is bad 2 must be better than 3. Either way the picture looks great I would say perfect (100%) and with better audio saved to a BD9 size done 8 1/2 hours. Unless you advice otherwize I'm sticking with this setting.

The Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only must have been why I kept getting 448 ac3 audio files when I was encoding Independence day.

What does the Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only option do? and why would you want to use it?

[jwjohnson]

Not sure if anyone has asked already but I noticed you haven't re-enabled subtitle removal support again since a few 0.17.xx releases?

He disabled those menu choices on purpose since he said it was not intended to be working.

[cyberdoggy]

What disc is that (with an Xvid embedded)?!?!
I was doing EARTH_BIOGRAPHY_D1_US but I think I just have too many damn codecs on this box, are we using the klcodec pack or the Combined Community Codec Pack I am starting to get really confused :(

[jdobbs]

My personal opinion is: if you have FFDSHOW installed you pretty much don't need anything else... so what's the point of all the others?

[Dark Shikari]

My personal opinion is: if you FFDSHOW installed you pretty much don't need anything else... so what's the point of all the others?You need a splitter too, like Haali's. And VSfilter is useful for many users.

Those three (plus MPC-HC) are pretty close to all of CCCP.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Downloaded 18.9 and trying Hancock again. I did not get the x264 error but I do have Encode Failed - Retrying. Is there any other info that may help with this.

[cyberdoggy]

O.K. word to who-ever out there! I uninstalled many, many, codecs that came in various codec packs and cleaned my registry and temp files out real good, and rebooted started up BD-RB and it was instant smooth sailing so far on a file I could not get going for nothing. So in conclusion if you are getting new errors allot try what I did Jdobbs is correct, there really is no need for extra BS on the system. Thanks jd. ;)

[smnckl]

@jdobbs

...
Interestingly I have done a number of encodes with this version of X264 and haven't had a crash yet. Is there anything unique about your setup, codecs, configuration?
...


I have not had any issues with the .08b version at all.
Only time it crashed was due to my own fault as I hit a senior moment right on the head. :devil:

Since it was in pass 2, I just ran the command line from the LASTCMD.TXT and it is chugging away happily.
I assume that when x264 is done, I can just run BD-RE and continue from there with the re-muxing and BD structure build?

While I have your attention, a quick question. Is BD-RE (and x264) coded optimized for SSE? enabled CPUs? When I run on this system, an Athlon 62 X2, it gives me pretty decent FPS during encoding. However, on an Intel P4 with HyperThreading, it gives me under 2 during pass 2. And on my Lenovo T60 laptop with a Centrino Duo, Max Payne ran at 0.1 FPS. THAT was a real PAIN. :devil:
I aborted after 4 days.

All this numbers from .08b.

However, on an Intel P4 with HyperThreading, it gives me under 2 during pass 2. And on my Lenovo T60 laptop with a Centrino Duo, Max Payne ran at 0.1 FPS. THAT was a real PAIN. :devil:
I aborted after 4 days.

1. x264 is the most heavily assembly-optimized program I have ever seen. It has over 420 hand-written assembly functions (and we keep adding more). I would be unsurprised if it had more x86 assembly code than ffmpeg--despite ffmpeg being an encoder and decoder for hundreds of formats instead of just an encoder for one. Over 20% of the codebase is assembly code. It is primarily optimized for Core 2 CPUs, but of course it contains optimizations for everything else too (that's just our primary target).

2. The Pentium 4 is an awful CPU. It's going to be slow as hell no matter what you do.

3. "Centrino" is the name of a chipset, not a CPU.

I have not had any issues with the .08b version at all.
Only time it crashed was due to my own fault as I hit a senior moment right on the head. :devil:

Since it was in pass 2, I just ran the command line from the LASTCMD.TXT and it is chugging away happily.
I assume that when x264 is done, I can just run BD-RE and continue from there with the re-muxing and BD structure build?

All this numbers from .08b.

Yes x264 has pretty much every optimisation under the sun and will certainly make use of advanced instruction sets (which ones, I dunno ;)) Irrelevent really, point is that a Pentium 4 no matter how fast will be SLOW SLOW SLOW...SLOW. I believe "Centrino" laptops are just Pentium M based laptops with wireless to satisfy the "Centrino" criteria and use that name. These are the first Pentium M chips - again S-L-O-W.

To be quite honest it's not really worth the bother on anything less than a fast dual core Athlon X2, even then...The amount of electric your setup will be using to do an encode, it might not even be cost effective.

I don't doubt the info you are giving us here. While not a programmer, I do know that apps that use asm code are the fastest and most compact available. Reminds me of the time when I had an Atari and had to type in asm code to get a word processor and spreadsheet to use. :)

2. The Pentium 4 is an awful CPU. It's going to be slow as hell no matter what you do.

Compared to today's CPU offerings, the P4 is what a 8086 was to a 286 or 386sx. :p

3. "Centrino" is the name of a chipset, not a CPU.

Sorry, fingers went faster than brain. It is actually a Core Duo T2400, but still a P4...

Was running the encode on that to see how it would turn out. Just an exercise in futility, you could say, but to me a step in my venture into getting movie backups done.

Can't afford a Quad-core, much less an i7 rigjht now, so I;m just trying to make do with what I have gotten over the years.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'll probably look on eBay for some better CPUs. Unless I hit a lottery jackpot and can get me a couple of i7 systems to do my movie backups. :p

[Capsbackup]

Has anyone tried a full movie backup of X-Files 2, NTSC, to BD-5 or BD-9 and been successful? Or a different title that has two versions of the movie on the disc. I can get BD-RB to complete successfully, and the menu works fine as does the trailers and the theatrical version of the movie. But when I try to play back the extended version, I get no audio from my Sony BX1. The movie plays back ok, but no sound or subtitles are present or selectable. I have had this no audio playback issue before on single versions of a full backup , but this was the first full backup of a multi-version movie that I have tried, with one version working and the other not.

I can tell you that there is something odd about the audio -- as TSMUXER always kicks out an error when you try to load the MPLS files.

[MikeyBK]

Downloaded 18.9 and trying Hancock again. I did not get the x264 error but I do have Encode Failed - Retrying. Is there any other info that may help with this.

I did have x264 r1112 crash on Pride & Glory again, but JD's code to have it automatically revert back to x264 r1082, worked flawlessly.... it's encoding as I post... will report back in the morning.

[Dark Shikari]

I did have x264 r1112 crash on Pride & Glory again, but JD's code to have it automatically revert back to x264 r1082, worked flawlessly.... it's encoding as I post... will report back in the morning.Seriously, can people give me the information I need to fix the crash or, if you don't know, ask how? I get incredibly aggravated when people constantly talk about x264 crashing as if there isn't anyone sitting around who wants to fix it! It's like I simply don't exist--like walking into your own home and having nobody notice that you're there, like an episode of the Twilight Zone.

Dropping back 30 revisions is not a solution; giving backtraces of the crashes to the developers is!

And if you need to know how to make a backtrace, just download gdb and a debug build of x264 (can often be found in the Current Patches thread; if not, harass someone in #x264 to make you one) and:

gdb x264.exe
set args your arguments to x264 go here
(wait)
(it crashes)
bt
(you post the output of this here)

An attempt at getting me the information I need here would be greatly appreciated.

(I apologize if I seem unnecessarily aggravated, but a crash in x264 is a big deal--and it is annoying to be completely and utterly ignored.)

[laserfan]

I get incredibly aggravated...In the spirit of Doom9's philosophy of forum etiquette, might I gently suggest to you sir that this is quite obvious, and therefore just *might* be part of the problem.

[Dark Shikari]

In the spirit of Doom9's philosophy of forum etiquette, might I gently suggest to you sir that this is quite obvious, and therefore just *might* be part of the problem.Do I not have the right to be aggravated when a dozen people tell me "your software is bugged" and then quietly slink away, unwilling to spend 5 minutes to help me fix it... despite spending hours and hours and hours testing and helping BD-Rebuilder?

I am not psychic and I cannot fix bugs unless people give me the information I need.

[jdobbs]

Perhaps if I pasted a giant "donations" link in my signature people might help me????? Is this a dig aimed at me? I'd make more from mowing lawns once a week than I get in donations... and if I can't ask for an occasional buck or two (with no requirement at all) for my effort I'll be happy to dump this whole project and spend an occasional hour my wife.

I can't help you with the crash -- because it has never happened to me. I put the automatic switch back in so I can continue to debug this program... and I can't do that when all I get are people telling me they are crashing.

You have the right to be aggravated for sure. But you don't have the right to rag on me. Pick another target.

Bah, I probably got too worked up. Odds are Avisynth is crashing or similar and it's not even x264's fault. Nobody anywhere outside of this thread has reported crashing issues and I have entire private torrent trackers that use nothing except bleeding-edge x264. The odds that it was mere luck that all the crashes occurred here and nowhere else seems rather low.

I guess if users don't want to help, they can suffer with a slower and older x264 in their BD Rebuilder. I don't have to try to debug it if the users don't want me to.

[drmih]

I can't get my head around some of the people on here who aren't grateful for the effort both of you are putting in. However, with so many people keen to help, and perhaps not as capable with the debugging options as you are, would it be possible to release a version which can be used to obtain the debug information for both programmes automatically.

[Dark Shikari]

However, with so many people keen to help, and perhaps not as capable with the debugging options as you are, would it be possible to release a version which can be used to obtain the debug information for both programmes automatically.That could be useful; it is possible to compile x264 in debug mode without turning off optimizations, so you can get full speed while still being able to capture a backtrace in case of a crash.

It seems like unnecessary work for jdobbs though; if someone knows of a specific commandline that causes the crash, surely it is easier for them to debug it themselves (even if it means downloading a few new programs) than for jdobbs to add a rather complicated feature to BD Rebuilder that otherwise isn't really necessary?

[drmih]

but I just believe that as the programme is in beta format the quickest way to develop it is to get as much information as possible and if it's automatically there then you'll get innundated with good data.

[jdobbs]

I would really appreciate it if someone (anyone) who can consistently get the crash would grab the offending command line and run it through the debug build.

BD Rebuilder can't function without X264...

Odds are Avisynth is crashing or similar and it's not even x264's fault.That or one of the two million CODECs that are installed on some systems.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I have a crash now doing Hancock Movie Only. Where can I get the debug code?

[MikeyBK]

I'm not in any way ignoring you or x264, Dark Shikari... I'd be glad to attempt to follow what you mentioned 'Dropping back 30 revisions is not a solution; giving backtraces of the crashes to the developers is!' ...... the best I could do is attempt this...
gdb x264.exe
set args your arguments to x264 go here
(wait)
(it crashes)
bt
(you post the output of this here)

An attempt at getting me the information I need here would be greatly appreciated.

and as for drmih's assumption that I, or any other members who might post in this thread, aren't grateful.... you can't simply assume that dude.... you don't know what I think.
Had I known that any info from me would help, I'd have done it all along...

Simply had to ask, that's all.......couldn't have imagined any info from me would be of any use..... I'm not a developer of x264, and have to work very hard to earn a living, but I'm still willing to try to attain the info he may need, just unsure where to begin.

[GaPony]

That or one of the two million CODECs that are installed on some systems.

I have a feeling that may be the issue. While I have encountered a few failures, I wouldn't call them crashes. The only codecs I have installed are those that you posted as necessary to run BD-Rebuilder. Perhaps if people first removed all the codecs from their system, ran a registry cleaner and reinstall only those required, they would likely have somewhat better success.

[Capsbackup]

I would like to try and help as well as I can. However, I am not as technical as many of the testers reporting here. So if I am not up to the task I will bow out without offense and read and follow others who report. I would need a more simplified explanation/guide to be able to report this occurence. I have a brand new build of an i7 920, 2.67GHz(no OC), and only installed ffdshow and haali,WMP 11, Anydvdhd.. just the basics. No other codec packs, to my knowledge, are installed. I could not follow the method to be able to report as mentioned above. So if details can be provided, I will share what I can.
Backing up Iron Man, NTSC, fullbackup with BD-RB v1809, I had this .x264 stop happen toward the very end of the backup. I did not pay attention to which .m2ts it happened to, and the backup .x264 did allow for the backup to complete successfully. So if there is something I can provide or do regarding this, I will.

Even that I want to help, I am not an expert using the "debug" information.
However, there are some things that solved the crash problem in my computer that I want to share.
First, x264 crashed when it was reencoding mpeg2 source, specially at the end of the encoding.
Second, when I went back to a previous version of x264 (1102) problem was solved.
Third, I unistalled latest versions of FFDSHOW and Haali Muxer and installed K-lite Code Pack 453 (I don't know which version of FFDSHOW is included in the pkg.), then version 1109 of x264 doesn't crash anymore!!!

Maybe the problem is not x264!!!
Conflicts may be from codecs, AviSynth, Haali Muxer, or the conflict between all of them...

[jdobbs]

Just as a point of reference, has anyone found any systems that won't playback when "Strict AVCHD" is checked? My system treats the disc the same with or without it. I'm thinking about making it the default.

[DIVX2009]

Jdobbs,
is not x264 problem, maybe is missing audio codec for lpcm 7.1 and dts true hd.
is possible using bd rebuilder for video only and audio trak remain untached ?...
option copy audio ???...compress only video ???
tks

[jdobbs]

I've answered that numerous times. Trying to blame the audio track for a video encoder crash isn't logical. It looks more like you're trying to bring up that same request again...

Reminder: this is a BUG REPORTING thread, not a "I'm going to make a feature request over-and-over" thread.

[datman]

Stricter AVCHD compliance movie-only was my problem. I did Patton today for and it will play the ISO and I thought I forgot to uncheck the Do not covert dts to ac3 because I have the DTS 1509kbps sound. The only option I had checked in setup was limit one track for each language:confused:

What I did do is change the quality setting from 3 to 2. Last night when I started the encode I thought if 5 is bad 2 must be better than 3. Either way the picture looks great I would say perfect (100%) and with better audio saved to a BD9 size done 8 1/2 hours. Unless you advice otherwize I'm sticking with this setting.

The Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only must have been why I kept getting 448 ac3 audio files when I was encoding Independence day.

What does the Stricter AVCHD compliance for movie-only option do? and why would you want to use it?

Other than this? So far everything I encode without the AVCHD checked play in ISO file and nothing (ISO) with it checked.

[Dark Shikari]

If someone wants to help debug the crash but needs help doing so, drop by #x264 on Freenode IRC and I can guide you through it step by step.

[jwgallardo]

Just as a point of reference, has anyone found any systems that won't playback when "Strict AVCHD" is checked? My system treats the disc the same with or without it. I'm thinking about making it the default.

Yes. Denon BD-3800 don't play AVCHD discs and don't recognize them since the loading. I backup using "Movie Only without AVCHD checked".

[jdobbs]

And it works ok on the Denon, I assume?

[GaPony]

No problems on my end (PS3, BD-P2500 & BDP-S550 players) with the "Strict AVCHD" setting, but I think I've seen where it does cause problems for some people. I guess as far as whether to make it the default, it would depend on whether it useful for more people than it hurts. Either way, I think you'll end up needing to provide an option.

[TheOfficeMaven]

...drop by #x264 on Freenode IRC...

Ha! I think you've already lost most folks right there. No wonder they're afraid to try and debug x264. :eek: :D

[jwgallardo]

And it works ok on the Denon, I assume?

Yes. It works perfect now with v0.18.8. Without AVCHD checked.

I agree that leaving the option is the best way. Either checked default or not, but the option to choose.

[Furiousflea]

BUG - I've noticed that BD-Rebuilder has encoded a 2 channel PCM track at 640K AC3 (also a couple of other 2 channel audio tracks that were PCM on the same disc). Causing over size of around 300mb.

I noticed this happen the other day also on another disc

The option to encode AC3 at 640K was set to on in the settings menu, but you shouldn't expect that this would apply to 2 channel audio surely? Just 5.1.

I think it would be a good idea to differentiate between 2.0\5.1 encoding in the settings. So we could chose say 64k\128k for a 2.0 commentry track and 640k for a 5.1 track etc.

192k is overkill really for 2.0 tracks when these are normally just commentry\tracks that aren't very important. I have done a few commentry tracks at 96k and they sound very good - not transparent but by no means bad and they still serve their purpose. Allowing for more bitrate where it's needed.

With a bit more trimming the fat and giving a few more options, reducing extras to 720x480 etc, near transparent full backups on BD9 should be possible for any film.

Oops I've gone off on one there

[jdobbs]

The 640Kbs option shouldn't affect stereo encodes... but I'll go back and check.

[edit] Yep, I just looked... I had mistyped a character when deciding the bitrate based on FORMAT, and the value for stereo was defaulting to 640Kbs when it is set... I'll fix that for the next release.

They burn very well and I've had no coasters after burning through the first 25. At least you don't have to buy 100 of them.

[jdobbs]

Cool. I'd decided that I wouldn't get serious about BD-R backups until they dropped below $5. I've been testing with the same two BD-REs for a long time now.

Many thanks MikeyBK. :thanks: All it takes is somebody who can repeat the problem, and I'm sure we'll find out what is at the root of it. I'll be interested to see what it is.

Well, I would like to report I have made my first full disc backup that has worked on both my LG and my PS3. I have noticed one wierd thing though. I made a backup of From Russia With Love and it seems in parts, like there are frames missing. The movie doesn't skip or freeze or anything, but the best way to describe it is like its missing a piece. Thanks JDobbs! Program gets better each time I use it, now to get TrueHD lol!

I have had problems with versions .18.8 and .18.9 where Vista reports that 'x264 has stopped working'. The frustrating thing is that Vista waits for you to close this before it continues and it seems that on the retry that it usually is okay. However, as an example I set something going last night, and this morning it was sitting there on 0.5% complete.
This error usually occurs at the end of the encode. I have included the lastcmd for the one I have just found:

This seems to be happening only on certain computers. I've never seen it myself. The X264 version is being debugged. In the meantime, you can use the older version of X264 (r1082) by renaming it in the TOOLS directory. It was included in the 0.18.9 release.

[jdobbs]

I'm currently working on the capability to resize to 720p. Can anyone recommend an easily automated method for converting sup files from 1080p to 720p? A freeware command line based app would be best. I see that SUPREAD can do the conversion but I can't find anything that documents what can and can't be done from the command line.

Alternatively I can write the code myself -- are there any good documents/links on blu-ray SUP file format?

Is there something wrong with the BD-9? Or do they just not play well in the ps3? Each time I've tried making a dvd9 it skips and stutters in the ps3. On a side note, I have also seen the x264 error in vista, so its not rare at all.

The PS3 won't play a full backup to BD9/BD5. It will play AVCHD (Movie Only) copies to BD9/BD5. There was an issue, as you describe, with some versions after 0.17.13 but it was fixed in version 0.18.08 ( maybe 0.18.07). You do, of course, need to check the option for "Stricter compliance for AVCHD" in setup, unless you want to manually remove unwanted folders in the BDMV folder before burning to disc.

DS could no doubt have become either a Brain Scientist or a Rocket Surgeon ;) but instead he's chosen to write computer software. It seems he sometimes has difficulty communicating at the level of some of us mere mortals...

[Capsbackup]

Perhaps a link to these instructions and/or a simplified guide would bring me in. I am all for helping out here, but I can definitely get lost quite easily without the details. But as I said before, if I am not up to the task or the qualifications, I'm out and I will stand by and read others attempts.

I just uploaded v0.19.01 to my server and it can be downloaded through the first post of this thread. The changes are:
- Corrected an error in which audio track of menu
items may not have been updated properly. This
could cause menus to not play audio (especially
for LPCM).
- Enabled PGS (subtitle) removal and wrote code to
handle removal and updating of MPLS files.
Note: If a file is determined to likely be a menu
(small with certain characteristics) subtitles will
not be removed by default (in the streams display).
You can manually remove them -- but only at the
risk of creating possible menu problems.
- Added an option to the SETUP dialog for resizing
1920x1080 sources to 1280x720. This should make
BD-5 backups of many sources more viable.
Note: If a file is determined to likely be a menu
(small with certain characteristics) is will not
be resized.
- Corrected an error in which simple stereo AC3 can
under certain conditions default to 448Kbs or
640Kbs (massive overkill). The rate will now be
correctly set 192Kbs.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
Please note that as of today, the conversion to 1280x720 results in issues with subtitles. I'll work on that for the next release.

Thanks sounds good, can I assume that the bug with audio\subs not playing or being selectable for the main feature of my "The Matrix" full backup being fixed with this release? (audio\subs work fine on extras)

...Also I know you don't like requests but 720x480 resize for extras onlywould be very handy ;) (as a serperate option - keeping main m2ts at 1920x1080)

[Capsbackup]

Thanks jdobbs for the new version, and for all of your efforts on this program. I will give it a test shortly. Just curious if you tested X-Files 2 or another movie that has a two option of the same movie to select from (extended or theatrical), and if both versions play the audio and subs?

Just curious if you tested X-Files 2 or another movie that has a two option of the same movie to select from (extended or theatrical), and if both versions play the audio and subs? Didn't test it. I'll check it out. I ran X_Files_2 on a previous version with no issues as movie-only and full backup... not sure if I've tried the extended edition.

Thanks sounds good, can I assume that the bug with audio\subs not playing or being selectable for the main feature of my "The Matrix" full backup being fixed with this release? (audio\subs work fine on extras)I'm running "The Matrix" right now to see if there are any issues in it. I don't expect any, but you never know.

[ron spencer]

this looks cool...will try the resize for bd-5

I notice you are using lanzcos resize....that is typically used for upsizing, although downsizing will work

spline64resize will give you nicer results when downsizing typically, which is what I use when converting to DVD from HD.

Can you add this as a setup option as it is in AVISynth anyway? It will be slower encode though.

[ron spencer]

you will need avisynth 2.5.8 though for spline64 resize....but 2.5.8 is final so everyone should be using it anyway

[Furiousflea]

I'll work on a simple guide, some time today\tomorrow if I can't be bothered :p

I've done a guide, it's a bit rough round the edges but should get you going. Posted in main forum.

[klas]

...Also I know you don't like requests but 720x480 resize for extras onlywould be very handy ;) (as a serperate option - keeping main m2ts at 1920x1080)


I vote for this.

thanks

[jdobbs]

Just a note: I've managed to repeat the X264 "crash" that was reported while I was encoding a backup of "The Matrix". I can repeat it consistently, so I'm freezing any further encodes or changes until I can nail down exactly what is going on...

[jdobbs]

I vote for this.

thanks That should be easy enough... maybe 480p as an option too...

[jdobbs]

Does anyone have a copy of X264 releases r1103, r1104, and r1105 they could send me, or point to a download? I've looked around but can't seem to put my hands on them.

[Furiousflea]

480p = 720x480 ;) :p:)

I've looked around but can't seem to put my hands on them.You should install Cygwin yourself; you'll find it quite useful to have a working development environment anyways, given that you're developing an application that uses x264 ;)

You could also drop by #x264 and ask J_Darnley; he can compile debug builds of any revision you want.

[Capsbackup]

Were any of these versions used in one of your previous releases?

Apparently they skipped from r1102 to r1106. Afterdawn is usualy very good at archiving older versions and although they have 196 versions archived, there isn't a revision 1103, 1104 or 1105. http://www.afterdawn.com/software/video_software/video_encoders/x264.cfm

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs,

Were any of these versions used in one of your previous releases? No. Actually I stayed on r1082 for a long time just to stay consistent for debugging.

Well I'm glad you were able to get the crash as well, since I wasn't able to get the debugging done...
I can get repeated crashes on Pride & Glory, but just couldn't get the info Dark Shikari required...:(

Perhaps now you can give him the backtrace info he is looking for?

Did you know that if you use 224kbps audio instead of 192kbps you can even save 1kbps for video. Weird huh?

The good news is that for every other Blurays, other than Pride & Glory, BD-RB 0.18.09 w/ x264 r1112 encoded absolutely fine.... just did Space Buddies last night and x264 r1112 was pretty fast for my systems' par...

http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9426/new2pi7.th.png (http://img8.imageshack.us/my.php?image=new2pi7.png) I like to think I'm pretty good at math. So how you only recover 1Kbs for the video from 32Kbs of savings on two sources of the same length sounds a little like "creative math" to me. What is it, muxing differences? I use 192Kbs because it is the default standard for AC3 stereo encoding at 48Khz -- and also, of course, because no one listening can tell the difference between the two except when they are told which is which. I notice your screen capture shows you are setting 224Kbs for a six channel source (not stereo)... now that certainly is a recipe for audio distortion. I think 448Kbs is pretty much as low as you want to go for DD 5.1.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I notice your screen capture shows you are setting 224Kbs for a six channel source (not stereo)...
what numbers do you see next to 'Aften'? BESIDES this is just an example!

I will show you proof (x264 logs , file sizes reported by windows and so on) tomorow that i'm right. I'm encoding now 2 versions (192kbps and 224kbps) of bewulf @4480MB

[jdobbs]

[Removed] I started to rant and decided it was rude.

Let's try and keep this thread focused on bugs, ok?

[tyte_E_YT]

Jdobbs, I hope my question belongs here, as it would be devastating for you to grow annoyed with issues and abandon your work. I tried what GaPony said: I checked the box for stricter AVCHD compliance. I tried to make a BD-5 of Space Buddies and it still stutters. Should I remove all but the stream folder under BDMV and try again?

[jdobbs]

Stutters on what kind of playback device? Your PS3? Are you using the latest release of BD-RB? I'm sorry if I missed something -- there are a lot of irons in the fire on this project.

[Furiousflea]

jdobbs, could the problem with no audio\subs for the main feature on "The Matrix" and some other discs be related to these discs having a "Picture In Picture" track. When I run the m2ts through eac3to I notice there is a 480p VC1 track inside the m2ts that contains the main movie, but once encoded with BD-Rebuilder this track isn't there anymore. Maybe BD-Rebuilder isn't remapping the enabled streams correctly etc and not taking this PIP track into account.

Just a thought?

[jdobbs]

Currently BD-RB only retains one video track. Truthfully I hadn't even looked at the function of the other video. I'll have to take a closer look at it.

[MikeyBK]

Is there something wrong with the BD-9? Or do they just not play well in the ps3? Each time I've tried making a dvd9 it skips and stutters in the ps3. On a side note, I have also seen the x264 error in vista, so its not rare at all.

The BD-9 I just made of Space Buddies (movie-only using BD-RB v0.18.09) plays perfect on my daughter's PS3... I don't have 'stricter AVCHD compliance' checked.... and didn't remove any folders neither.

Are you doing full disc? and what type of blank media are you burning to?

[GaPony]

You are just using the the Movie Only option, aren't you? You could also uncheck the "Stricter AVCHD..." and it will playback on the PS3 and be seen as an AVCHD disc... but it may not playback on alot of standalone DVD players.

You could even delete everything except the .m2ts file and it will still playback on the PS3, except you won't have chapter breaks (or any other setting options). It probably won't playback on anything else though.

I've only done a couple movies to BD5, as I prefer the BD9 playback quality (a subjective opinion), but I'll run a movie through the most current version to be sure nothing has changed.

One thing for you to check is to see what PS3 system version are you using. The current version is 2.60.

Tried BD-RB for the first time.
I ripped the original BD disc of 007 - Live and Let Die to the hard drive with AnyDVD HD, and used BD-RB on the ripped files to reduce the size to fit on a 25 GB BD-Re-writable. BD-RB ended successfully with no errors.

I burned the resulting BDMV and Certificate folders to the 25 GB BD-RE with IMGBurn. The resulting disc plays fine on the PC using PowerDVD 8 Ultra, but when I play it in my set top Panasonic BD-30 connected to an HDTV I get audio only. The TV screen is blank. Think it was a bad burn, I re-burned it to the DB-RE again, but the result was the same - OK on the PC, no video on the set top box.

Since the BD-RE disc plays OK on the PC it would seem to me that BD-RB did it's job correctly. But something is wrong somewhere along the line in the process.

Incidentally, I inadvertently skipped the first step in the process that's described at the top of this thread:

1. Download and install the latest FFDSHOW and the Matroska Splitter. They are required for BD-RB to work, are free, and can be found at this link. After the install, run "Video Decoder Configuration" for FFDSHOW from the "START/Programs" menu, and make sure MPEG2 decoding is enabled.

I had downloaded the 2 pieces of software the other day but forgot to install them before running BD-RE and didn't realize it until after I had finished the burn. Could this be the cause of the problem whereby by the disc plays OK on the PC but has no video when played in the set top box?

Full disc backup or movie only in BD-Rebuilder? BD30 supports movie only.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144674

Although that thread is specifically for BD5\BD9, it's likely that BD25 (BD-R) discs also will only play with main movie. If you did a full disc, could you do movie only and post back your results.

No I did movie only. I tried another ps3 and got the same issue. I use all verbatim +r bitset to -rom, both SL and Singapore DL.

I'm updating ps3 fw from 2.53 now. I didn't want to waste a DL on space buddies, theres my subjective opinion for the day haha. I also noticed I was using BD-RB 18.7.I just got the v19 and I'll post back results.

Also I want to point out I've had issues with set top boxes as well. It would play all the previews then no video in the movie. I see the suggestion to try 'movie-only' instead. Thanks guys for all your input.

You might want to start a thread for recommendations on making a copy that will be playable on a PS3 and your standalone player. Playing on one doesn't mean it will play on both. I think Jdobbs got the PS3 playback issue fixed in 18.8, so you were short by one revision. Anyway if you get stuck, just start a new thread and I'll be glad to share my PS3 horror :) stories with you.

[Capsbackup]

Recently finished a full movie backup of Indiana Jones 4, NTSC, with BD-RB 0.19.0.1 to BD-5 for testing purposes only. Backup completes successfully, no .x264 errors. Playback is on my Sony BDP-BX1. The main menu will only play back for about 6-7 seconds before pausing for about the same amount of time, then the counter will jump ahead about 6-8 seconds, and the menu will start playing again. This pattern continues/repeats itself. The movie plays back perfectly though, with decent quality considering the high compression to BD-5. When played back on my computer with PowerDVD, the menu plays back perfectly. I'm guessing this is just a compatibility issue on playback with the Sony player, but I thought I should report this anyway.

Just as a point of reference, has anyone found any systems that won't playback when "Strict AVCHD" is checked? My system treats the disc the same with or without it. I'm thinking about making it the default.

Yea my Philips BD7200/F7 desn't play "Strict AVCHD"!:thanks:

Just finished a DVD9 movie only back up of Tropic Thunder, using the previous version of BD Rebulder.
The finished files were 23GB not 7.8GB. this was probably a mistake on my part, but i check the settings i use a couple of times before i start as a mistake costs me about 18 hours of computer time. im 99% sure i had the DVD9 option checked. has anyone else had this problem?
Im now trying again using the latest version.

Do you still think that you save space by using 192kbps audio instead of 224kbps?

"The Matrix"

Still no audio\subs on main feature with latest 0.19.01

Same behaviour as in previous versions :confused:

[Audionut]

Using the latest version.

Does anyone know what is happening here.

I had ffdshow set up for my tv card with deinterlacing and rgb32 output.

It's working fine now so far.

You're encoder fu**ed up. A 224kbps encode cannot be smaller than a 192kbps encode.


Show your screen shots of the demuxed audio files.

And the crashing bug in x264 has been found!

Bug was introduced in r1105 (Akupenguin's fault, even though my name's on the commit :p). Apparently, at least on the computer of our generous volunteer, r1108 was the trigger for the crash, despite it being completely unrelated.

Thanks to XhmikosR for donating about an hour of his time to torture himself with gdb and massive numbers of test builds as we narrowed down an issue so obnoxious that the crash disappeared when he ran a normal, non-debug x264 in gdb.

With the information we got from testing various potential fixes, I eventually was able to catch the bug with a combination of intuition and valgrind.

r1114 will fix the crash.

DON'T argue with me! I know that i'm right!!! LOOK at the log!!! After muxing to blu-ray structure (.m2ts) video with 224kbps is always smaller than the same with 192kbps!!! Check yourself!

LMFAO. The new ad. I can see it now.

The new revolution in dvd back-up has arrived.

Have you been using what you thought were excellent containers like MKV?

You've been wasting your time.

Forget about saving a few kbps with these so called optimized containers, we've got something that we GUARANTEE everyone in the industry would kill to have our patent.


Introducing .M2TS


Our revolutionary container becomes smaller the more data you put into it.


Yes, We know it sounds crazy.

But our clinical tests show that putting 224kbps audio files into OUR container, will result in less file space than an 192kbps audio file.


See for yourself. Only $29.95 while stocks last.

[jdobbs]

Funny, yes. On topic, no. :cool:

I still don't see how it could get smaller. Same size is possible I suppose -- because the m2ts has a packet size of 192, and a minimum of 8 bytes of overhead for each packet. So the packet can hold 184 bytes. You have to add the occasional PES information, and AC3 frames have 32ms in each. I would guess that if you calculated it out you'd find that 192Kbs stream might have a small amount of its frame rolled over into a final packet and it gets padded with zeros.

But as I said earlier. I didn't make it 192Kbs to save space... I did it because that is the default standard for AC3 stereo encodes... and I'm reencoding to allow for boosting and/or normalizing audio. That padding getting repeated for every 32ms of audio might bring it out to the same muxed size as 224Kbs. I wouldn't have guessed you need to pad -- and could have just started another frame in the same unit (like it does in DVD)... but I'm definitely not positive. That might explain why you see so many 2 channel streams encoded at 224Kbs in blu-ray originals -- nothing lost, so why not?

You have to look at m2ts from the positive side also. That packeting concept makes it work very well in digital transport systems like ATM.

[Rolo71]

When I do a Full Movie backup of Star Wars - Clone Wars Region B, it works fine, but when I try a movie only backup BD-RB chooses the wrong m2ts file (a 3 GB file). It doesn't matter which version of BD-RB I use.

[laserfan]

I just love "Groundhog Day" so gave my BD a spin yesterday with 19.01, Full Backup mode, as a test. No processing issues, the result played fine, but in looking at the workfiles I noticed that BD-RB processed (and included) a whole bunch of subs for extras that I'd not intended. Puzzled since I'd thought I'd un-selected those, and meaning to recover those bytes for the main feature, I ran BD-RB again, this time making absolutely certain all were un-checked. But instead of re-allocating those bytes to the Main Feature, each of the affected Extras got the benefit of the extra bytes. Note in the log below, the main feature's bitrate (00011.m2ts) actually goes DOWN but this apparently is due to my having selected the Commentary audio track for the 2nd run. Two questions:

1. Given that I un-checked Subs in Extras, is the Extras "getting the benefit" correct, i.e. re-allocation to the Main Feature is not implemented yet? Or a bug?

2. It seems the Stream tab selections are set on BD-RB launch (based on Source Path and Settings/Setup) and not on anything in WORKFILES. Is there any way to go-back and see exactly what Selections I had made in the Stream tab for the two different runs? Or is this by "deduction only" ie. to look at the workfiles audio/video/subs?

Great work jdobbs--as an aside I was surprised to see that Chapters are right-on, not "every 5 min" as one might expect from the MUX_00011.meta file. Apparently you copy the original clpi file in Full Backup mode, and loss of custom Chapter marks only occurs on "movie only". :)

When I do a Full Movie backup of Star Wars - Clone Wars Region B, it works fine, but when I try a movie only backup BD-RB chooses the wrong m2ts file (a 3 GB file). It doesn't matter which version of BD-RB I use. It chooses the playlist that represents the longest playback time. You can select another from the menu...

[jdobbs]

1. Given that I un-checked Subs in Extras, is the Extras "getting the benefit" correct, i.e. re-allocation to the Main Feature is not implemented yet? Or a bug? Definitely not implemented. Not sure if it will be implemented, if so it will be as a selectable option.

2. It seems the Stream tab selections are set on BD-RB launch (based on Source Path and Settings/Setup) and not on anything in WORKFILES. Is there any way to go-back and see exactly what Selections I had made in the Stream tab for the two different runs? Or is this by "deduction only" ie. to look at the workfiles audio/video/subs? It is saved to the INF files --- but each time you restart BD-RB, the selections are initialized to what you've selected in the SETUP dialog. In the future I'll look into retaining the selections.

Apparently you copy the original clpi file in Full Backup mode, and loss of custom Chapter marks only occurs on "movie only". Movie-only retains the original chapters also.

Movie-only retains the original chapters also.Thanks, didn't know that. Oops, you were editing same time as me. Thanks for your feedback.

And the crashing bug in x264 has been found!

Bug was introduced in r1105 (Akupenguin's fault, even though my name's on the commit :p). Apparently, at least on the computer of our generous volunteer, r1108 was the trigger for the crash, despite it being completely unrelated.

Thanks to XhmikosR for donating about an hour of his time to torture himself with gdb and massive numbers of test builds as we narrowed down an issue so obnoxious that the crash disappeared when he ran a normal, non-debug x264 in gdb.

With the information we got from testing various potential fixes, I eventually was able to catch the bug with a combination of intuition and valgrind.

r1114 will fix the crash.

Massive grooviness... :) I just tested it on the file where I experienced it. The crash is gone. I'll include r1114 in the next BD-RB release.+

That's fantastic news!!... Thanks to you guys and XhmikosR, I'm glad you figured it out. I was feeling like I let everyone down because I failed to get anything with GDB, but in truth I was in wayyyyy over my head, lmao....:p

Thanks again guys, looking forward to r1114 in the next BD-RB release..... the newer x264 versions have been very noticeably faster on my system.
:thanks:

[TheOfficeMaven]

What's the difference between the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of X264.exe? Should we be using the 64-bit version if we are running a 64-bit O.S. (i.e. will BD-RB work better with the 64-bit version running under a 64-bit O.S.)? Also, I see that only the 32-bit version of x264 has been updated to r1114. I assume that the 64-bit version will get updated as well?

[tyte_E_YT]

Yes you're correct in big red letters. Encoding was finished this morning and its all good. Your extreme effort of help should be useful for some here. By the way I tried bd-rb and ripbot equally and chose jdobb's app because I like it better. Even if ripbot's help seems meaningless, do we have to flame him and run him out of the section? Are one or both of you guys planning to go commercial or worried about espionage? I say let's have both freewares; they may both prove to be useful. Two heads are better than one right? I apologize for this not being a bug so technically I'm spam here...thanks again you guys rock. Peace!

[jdobbs]

I wrote BD-RB because I wanted to be able to do full backups of BD sources... with a focus on prices of BD-25 coming down and also trying to do BD-5/9. I did it because no other software (I know of) does that. I'm not out to compete with anybody or any other software. If I were only aiming for movie-only as my final goal, there are already many ways to do it (including RipBot), and I wouldn't have wasted my time reinventing the wheel.

On that note, let's change the subject... this thread is too long already, and it's getting impossible to find the reported bugs in it.

[DIVX2009]

jdobbs, dvd 5 is undersize 4.08....4.2gb...why?

[jdobbs]

With that amount of background information about all I can say is "because it came out wrong".

May I make a suggestion jdobbs. When you create a new release create a new thread specificity for that release. This way, any and all bugs for that release can be posted in that thread. Older releases and threads would fall to the way side. As always one should upgrade to the latest release to insure testing and development of this great program continues…

[Furiousflea]

With that amount of background information about all I can say is "because it came out wrong".

Talking of undersizing. I've noticed that of the 10 or so backups BD-Rebuilder has done, ALL have been undersized by a good 175-250mb - even when I have set the target to "8140" which is the size of a DVD9 disc.

The only time it has come close to DVD9 is when BD-Rebuilder has made an error like for example when it was incorrectly encoding 2 channel audio as AC35.1.

I have noticed that x264 sizing is extremely accurate and setting the default so conservatively really isn't required like with mpeg2 encoding for example.

[laserfan]

Given all the variables involved in re: many menus and extras on BD discs, I'd say that was remarkably good!!???!! :confused:

[MikeyBK]

And even at the default BD-9 setting of around 7600 MBs, x264 does a superb job in it's output..... sure 8100 MBs sounds better on paper than 7600 MBs, but I don't think I would be able to tell the differences... :)

[jdobbs]

And don't forget -- that if you don't like the default sizes you can alway set it yourself with TARGET_SIZE=NNN in the config file. Eventually I'll allow a different setting for each of the default outputs (BD-5/9/25) as well. I'm conservative on output sizes -- because I know that a lot of even high-quality discs have problems in the outer edges of the disc... and when it pixelates, my software gets the blame for what is actually media issues.

[Binnugsai]

Hi,

I try and try to encoded a bluray disc ripped by anydvd 6.5.2.2 on my hard disk and all the time i have this error message at the beginning. Avisynth, fddshow new one an haali is installed but i don't understand why the BDRebuilder does'nt work ?

Can someone can help me......:confused::confused:

[jdobbs]

I just went through that section and found something that could conceivably cause that... but I can't understand why it is just happening to certain people. That error is "type mismatch" error -- you'd think it would happen consistently.

I made a change, so maybe the next release will fix it.

[Furiousflea]

But...unless I mis-read your post, even 250mb is only 3% "low"?

Given all the variables involved in re: many menus and extras on BD discs, I'd say that was remarkably good!!???!! :confused:

3% sounds very small but when it means you could afford an extra commentry track, 640k for main feature track instead of 448k...It's sorta more than "just 3%" ;)

But as jdobbs has said and I had a feeling that was the reason for his conservative choice. For people with rubbish media, I agree with him on that one. I use rubbish media myself but any disc that doesn't pass a full speed reading at 12x on the outer edge as long as disc is full goes back to the retailer :) (which seems to be about 2\3 of my current discs)

[ron spencer]

I really like this new version. I did Bourne Ultimatum

In the past I and my family have always seen some sort of difference when doing movie only onto a BD5 (I really do no care about full backup). When doing the 720p downsize I can report that it looks superb. For some reason better than full size backup on BD5. Nice going and great option.

Question I have is, why does the 720p backup look, we think, better than the 1080p backup (on Samsung 50")

nice work

nice workAt a sufficiently low bitrate, a lower resolution backup might end up looking better. BD5 might be low enough for that to be the case, at least sometimes.

:thanks:Thanks for the praise, and expect more good stuff soon. For everyone's information, the current pipeline contains:

1. Threaded frametype decision patch from Avail Media, written by Michael Kazmier. Preliminary tests suggest multithreading performance boosts of 20%-40% or even higher, especially with b-adapt 2 and large numbers of threads. Currently broken with VBV, which is why it is still in the pipeline ;)

2. Holger's transform overhaul. ~5% performance boost on most chips, possibly up to 10% on Conroe Core 2. Currently a total mess of code and still being cleaned up.

3. My usual horde of small-scale optimizations awaiting further testing. I'm not sure I'm entirely sane though; one of them involves a lookup table storing every possible permutation of 4x4 DCT block (2^16 entries).

Thanks for the praise, and expect more good stuff soon.

You can add mine to that. :)

... Major "boot in mouth" piece deleted. A senior moment - had gone cross-eyed and mixed ffdshow with x264. For those who had read what I had written, my apologies.

Muchos gracias for the hard work you have put into this fine piece of software. :thanks:

@jdobbs

I ran Bourne Ultimatum from HDDVD source yesterday and it ended this morning severely undersized. The source had been stripped of everything that was not needed, leaving just the video, english AC3 5.1 audio and english subs.

I ran the 00001.m2ts files from both the WORKFILES and the STREAM folders in VLC, mplayerc-hc and Nero Showtime 8. The video stopped at around 1:17:00 while the audio kept on playing.

Please let me know what I can/should do to help troubleshoot this. Thanks in advance.

[jdobbs]

You'd have to explain to me what you mean by "from HDDVD source" Also, was the original really only 8.31GB? That makes the source suspect -- mainly because I already know there are problems trying to do a second generation reecode from a TSMUXER created source (it was the root of an audio sync problem I fixed a couple of versions ago). Can I assume the source was created via TSMUXER?

[smnckl]

You'd have to explain to me what you mean by "from HDDVD source" Also, was the original really only 8.31GB?

The original was VC-1 video and WMA audio which had been encoded in a WMV container for use on my grandson's X-box.
I then used RipBot264 to convert the WMV to MKV.

That makes the source suspect -- mainly because I already know there are problems trying to do a second generation reecode from a TSMUXER created source (it was the root of an audio sync problem I fixed a couple of versions ago). Can I assume the source was created via TSMUXER?

Yes, the 'original' source was run through tsMuxeR, in this case twice, in order to get a Blu-ray structure for feeding to your BD-RE.

I guess that was the biggest boo-boo. However, the m2ts from the STREAM that was fed to BD-RE plays fine. And original disc is now kaput due to the teenager and his friends mishandling. And I would rather not buy a new BR if that can be avoided.

Would like to see WMV source support in BD-RE if at all possible <hint, hint, nudge, nudge>. :rolleyes:

Thanks for looking in on this. Appreciate that and a BIG :thanks: for the software.

Are you using X264 r1114? If your're still on the older version -- that's the problem and it will be fixed when I release BD-RB v0.19.2 (later today maybe?)

In the meantime, you can download the latest version of X264 from http://www.x264.nl

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread to include a new release (v0.19.02). The changes included in this release are:
- Corrected a bug in which the wrong video type
could be inserted in the MPLS under very rare
circumstances.
- Added code to adjust subtitles accordingly when
the RESIZE 1080p to 720p option is selected.
- Updated the included release of X264.EXE to
release r1114 - which corrects the uncommon
but reported "crash" that could occur on some
computers.
- Corrected a condition in RunTSMuxer() that may
cause a runtime error.
- Fixed possible causes of runtime errors in the
audio extraction module.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Enjoy.

[hlonipha]

It chooses the playlist that represents the longest playback time. You can select another from the menu...

how can I do this as it only shows on the movie Black Hawk Down the 480I commentary scenes. (on movie only back up option) When I select full back up I see everything on the main window.

BTW thanks for the great job on this proggy

i put my source choose french and english in audio
same in subtitle

i tried 10 movies each time same message

if someone knows the problem it will be appreciate a lot
thx

[tyte_E_YT]

(Using 19.2) Just fyi, not complaining...got the crash again at an earlier point this time. After closing x264, it retried and its still going now.Could it have anything to do with vista64 trying to go into standby?

[setarip_old]

@geronim77

Try rebooting your system (to complete installation of the programs)...

[tyau]

I've used BD-Rebuilder since v0.18.07 and I have not had any problem with playback or pulldown stuttering. I have never experienced any errors. However, I think I may have used BD-Rebuilder a little differently than most people on videohelp.

I rip the original Blu-Ray disc to an image file using AnyDVD HD. I then mounted the movie ISO image using Virtual CloneDrive. I then proceeded to using TsMuxeR to strip down the movie to my liking and output it with Blu-Ray structure. Convert the structure using ISO via ImgBurn UDF 2.50.

After the above steps, I mount the stripped down movie in ISO format produced above using Virtual CloneDrive. Then I opened BD-Rebuilder, choose the mounted ISO and select "movie only". Then proceeded to backup using RB-Rebuilder.

Basically my extra steps consist of using TsMuxeR to strip down the movie and then converting it to an UDF 2.50 ISO image for RB-Rebuilder to process. This minimizes the number of tasks for RB-Rebuilder to execute, which may enhance its reliability. This has worked for me and I have never had any error or issue.

I ONCE tried using RB-Rebuilder to do the "Movie-only stripping" for me. But that resulted in a crash. Stripping the movie myself using TsMuxer prior to using RB-Rebuilder has worked for me with 100% success rate. I do not have the PS3stuttering either using my way. I did not have to use the AVCHD Patcher either.

Perhaps this has been covered, but I simply could not read every single post in this thread. However I hope my post helps those who may be experiencing problems with RB-Rebuilder.



Just out of curiosity, would a phenom II be a worthwhile upgrade from a AMD Athlon 64 x2 3200mhz for RB-Rebuilder? I notice that processing rate is terribly slow. I am not sure if a Phenom II would speed things up significantly.

Hi,

I try and try to encoded a bluray disc ripped by anydvd 6.5.2.2 on my hard disk and all the time i have this error message at the beginning. Avisynth, fddshow new one an haali is installed but i don't understand why the BDRebuilder does'nt work ?

Can someone can help me......:confused::confused:

Hi, i have no chance, even with the last update, i can't make anything, same error message at the beginning.

I remove K-Lite Codec Pack and reinstall all and unlucky for me.:mad::mad:

I never have prob with dvdrebuilder. So i think i have to reinstall perhaps my OS, windows XP SP3.

I think too, that there no reason that i can't use this software. Thank you for all. I give you some news.

that will not work with this one as main movie is split in two. way i did it is, i run it trough tsmuxer (it can append multiple files) and created bd folder than bd rebuilder to get it down to size. btw this is directed at hlonipha not you JD.

[geronim77]

i reboot my computer to finish installation but it doesn't change everytime the same message error about audio i have anydvd can it be the problem ?

thx for your help

[jdobbs]

If I compile a special version for you, would you have time to run it so I can identify exactly where the problem is?

[TBL]

@jdobbs

I got the same RunTSMuxer() error too. I think it has something to do with regional settings (as I reported some time ago). Geronim77 might be French (assumed from the audio selection), so maybe he has Windows set to French.

I tried to set my regional settings to Swedish and English, both worked.

If you want, I can try that special version too.

[flavict]

jdobbs...

[11:51:48] RunTSMuxer() 00013 12

I have the same problem. So that three of us...

Have tried with AnyDVD active or not.

It worked before with older version 0.17.13 but since 0.18.xx I am having this problem.

I have tried to go back with 0.17.13 but now have the problem with that version.

edit: I do have a French Windows Vista

[laserfan]

Decided to try v0.19.01 on Mamma Mia! again. This is the one with extras that BD-RB chokes on as reported earlier in the thread. Well, in the earlier version of BD-RB the program failed on these extras but at least got thru it to the end. Now it just aborts at the first failed extra:

Last time I was able to ID and re-encode the problem .m2ts files "by hand" using DG's tools, then REBUILD with BD-RB, and that worked. This time I will have to do 287, then Resume, have it abort, fix the extra, Resume, etc.

I don't have an answer for what the right way to fix this might be, so can only suggest again jdobbs that you might want to pick this one up. Not only is it a good test disc, it is actually a very fun movie (if you don't like musicals, at least your wife will love it!). :)

p.s. As I type this I recall that last night 0.19.02 was published. I will attempt to Resume with that and see if it behaves any differently.

[jdobbs]

Updated the first post of this thread to an updated release. Changes for this version:
February 18th, 2008 - v0.19.04
- Corrected a bug that could lead to errors in the
ExtractAudio() and RunTSMuxer() subroutines.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
This was a rather annoying bug for certain users, so I thought it was worthwhile to post it immediately upon fixing...

[TBL]

@jdobbs

That fixed it, thank you very much! :)

I tried all the languages I mentioned in my earlier post, all of them worked:

- French (France)
- French (Canada)
- Finnish (Finland)
- Swedish (Finland)
- Norwegian (both)

My donation is long overdue, I'll get to it :)

[jdobbs]

You may want to run the task manager and check to make sure you don't have dangling instances of TSMUXER executing. I noticed that it was left executing when I got the bug. You could also reboot and clear those up.

[DIVX2009]

jdobbs,
you don`t update nicaudio.dll to v2.02.....why?

[TBL]

Yeah, it did it for me too. Thanks for the tip, I'll let it to run now and see how it goes.

[jdobbs]

jdobbs,
you don`t update nicaudio.dll to v2.02.....why? I haven't done any testing with it -- is there something in that version that might improve BD support?

[smnckl]

@jdobbs

After the debacle with The Bourne Ultimatum (VC-1 video, WMA audio) I mentioned earlier, I demuxed the audio and transcoded to AC3. Muxed to BR structure with tsMuxeR 1.8.4 (which is the version you prefer?) and then started BD-RE 1.19.02.

hi jdobbs,
sorry for making a request here,
the only reason I'm not using BD Rebuilder right now, is that I like to retain the original HD audio tracks, now that the new TSmuxeR fixed the TrueHD tracks issue , all can be done !
Are you going to include a "Keep untouched the Audio tracks" soon ?

cheers, Nik

[turbojet]

When using mkv intermediate files track number is missing in MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta so tsmuxer errors and rebuild fails.

Tried a few things including newer Decomb in the .AVS and older x264 but no dice. Then I noticed 00287.m2ts was a VC-1 which triggered me to check my ffdshow. It was set to WMV9 instead of libavcodec for VC-1. When I changed it to libavcodec everything works--BD-RB processed clip 287 and is now cranking on thru the rest of the Extras!

While I recall reading here in numerous places that "WMV9 is preferred over libavcodec for VC-1" I don't remember when I might have changed my ffdshow setting to WMV9, so it's entirely possible it was that way on Feb 1 when I first attempted this. No idea why x264 chokes on the WMV9 setting (I usually use DGVC1DecNV to feed x264 not ffdshow). I don't think there's anything amiss re: my WMP11 install but in any case this one issue at least is solved.

[jdobbs]

Thanks for the update. I think I need to add to the instructions that MediaPlayer 11 needs to be installed so the WMV11 codec is in use. On my system I just leave VC-1 disabled in FFDSHOW so I can use the WMV11 codec.

When using mkv intermediate files track number is missing in MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta so tsmuxer errors and rebuild fails. I must have screwed it up with I made the fix for audio syncing... I'll look at it.

Full disc of Madagascar 2 plays the 'trivia track' throughout the movie. It will not turn off with either of its instances in the pop-up menu. I added the line in the ini for the panasonic stb's.

That's a good suggestion, I've always had libav set for VC-1 but will disable it to see if WMV11 takes over. Thanks.

Was that with version 19.04?

OK thanks, also it muxes mkv to m2ts first then tries to mux mkv/audio/subs to bluray. Is there any reason for the first mux to m2ts?

Tried to resize 1080 > 720 with v19.04 and It didn't resize. There was no resize command in the VID_00001.AVS file.

It was working with v19.01.

I'm gathering that he means if you disable VC-1 in FFDSHOW then WMV11 would be used instead.... doing a test encode right now on a small VC-1 clip.

EDIT: worked just fine...

[laserfan]

What I want to know is--what exactly is the entry for VC-1 in ffdshow for those of you who have WMP11 installed? Is it WMV9 as mine, or something else??? I mean of course, "along with libavcodec" that's there as well in the drop-down box. Here's what I see:

Works for me, did you mistakenly overwrite the bdrebuilder.ini when updating which you'll lose all your settings?

Also I've noticed that some settings work kind of weird and you have to restart BD-RB before they take affect.

JDobbs: Is there any reason to include the ini in the rar?

Put it to 'disabled'

[MikeyBK]

@ JD...
I'm curious about retaining TrueHD now that TSMuxer has an updated exe that can keep the trueHD audio for those that might be using BD-RBuilder to BD-25.... I sure wouldn't mind that option when I decide to reencode one to a BD-25 myself...

I tested it and it did just fine.

ftp://213.221.6.90/tsMuxer/

[ron spencer]

You do not need Media Player 11....if you have WMEncoder installed it will use that fine as well. Seems so.

[drmih]

Probably not a bug but how do you get a 64bit version of x264 to work. I assumed that if I replaced the one supplied with bd-rebuilder with the 64bit one that would be it, but I get 'Encode failed' straightaway. If I put it back to the 32bit one it's fine.

[jdobbs]

Hey my entry in the dropdown for VC-1 in FFDSHOW is WMV9--is yours "WMV11"??? :confused: No. If you say "disabled" in FFDSHOW and you have Media Player 11 installed, it will use the WMV11 codec of Media Player (rather than FFDSHOW).

Anyhow huge step forward on the sups!Hmmm... I went out of my way to make sure it centered and it worked very well on my tests. I'll look it again. I left the bitmap untouched and simply changed the start x/y in the SUP file, that's why they are bigger. I thought it was acceptable, though. In the future I will also decode the bitmap and resize it -- I was just in a hurry to get it implemented.

ftp://213.221.6.90/tsMuxer/ It isn't that it is hard to do... it's that I'm trying to limit the variability while getting rid of the major bugs... Every time you add one more layer of variability you have exponentially increased the difficulty of debugging. Bottom line: if someone starts throwing more complexity into the mix -- I'm going to have to not respond to their bug reports. Otherwise I will never get past early beta testing.

[turbojet]

OK thanks jdobbs

Currently you'd need 64 bit avisynth (doesn't seem to work) and 64 bit directshow filters like ffdshow 64 or you'd need to be able to pipe with avs2yuv which BD-RB currently doesn't support.

[laserfan]

No. If you say "disabled" in FFDSHOW and you have Media Player 11 installed, it will use the WMV11 codec of Media Player (rather than FFDSHOW).Thanks for telling. My earlier report that libavcodec worked with the VC-1 extras in Mamma Mia was premature--while BD-RB got thru those extras they were all "grey screen" i.e. no video. After all manner of attempts to try libavcodec, WMV9, and Disabled (and I do have WMP11 installed/working), none of these decode interlaced VC-1s on my computer--never mind the x264 crash, Vdub will crash also when running the AVS. So I get "no video", or "crash", or "crash" from the above. Only neuron2's DGVC1IndexNV works (thankfully), and with it I'm converting those extras right now.

One wonders how many of the issues reported here are owing to broken decoding--sorry I've contributed to the "BD-RB Bug Reports" where in fact my system has problems I can't seem to fix... :(

Understood.... no worries and no rush JD, we are all grateful for how far along you brought BD-ReBuilder to already, I know I am...

I do know that you stated about limiting variables, but also remembered you asking about alternatives (preferably free) to TSMuxer for TrueHD retention, so I thought I'd mention it since TSMuxer now fixed their issue with TrueHD...

But whatever pace you deem is the best is most appreciated because BD-RB has been a Godsend for me, as well as everyone else I'm sure... thanks again...
:thanks:

According to BDInfo, the BD has a 7.1 LPCM track and a 5.1 Dolby Digital EX track.

Since AC3 basic form doesn't support 7.1, I expect that would be your problem. BD-Rebuilder would need an AC3+ encoder to allow support of compressed 7.1 audio (AC3+ is the standard for compressed audio on BD above 5.1).

However I doubt jdobbs would want to work on that at thia point considering there is much more important stuff to work on. I would suggest that jdobbs add suport of EAC3To's "Down6" command that downmixes an 8 channel track -> 5.1 mixing the rear channels in an elegant fashion.

Since you are doing movie only, you can do that yourself with no hassle. Run your m2ts thru eac3to and with the -down6 switch and encode to 640k DD. load your original m2ts in tsmuxer and then the new audio track you've made (deleting the original) and output to bd structure. Encode with BD Rebuilder, in the options make sure to select NOT to reencode AC3.

If you want to do it in full disc mode, you will need to swap the AC3 track you created with EAC3To with the original one in the work folder that BD-Rebuilder creates when it demuxes the video\audio at the m2ts that corresponds to the main movie. Obviously renaming the EAC3To created track as what BD Rebuilder has named the orignal.

[Dark Shikari]

(OK, so it isn't really a bug report, but...)

Why is trellis still a separate option? It seems very silly and inconsistent to make that completely separate from all other quality options.

Also, there should probably be some documentation added with regards to the fact that higher quality settings are more important on smaller-sized encodes; this would make clear that people can probably get away with Fastest on BD-25, but that it would be a rather bad idea on a BD-5, for example.

Yeah, the trellis option is left over from early development -- the setup and quality selections kind of went in their own direction since then.

There's probably a lot of documentation the should be added. But I just haven't had the time.

Please post the BDREBUILDER.INI file (for the failed attempt) so I can see your settings. I'm especially interested as to whether you are resizing to 720p -- as that is the primary change to that module between those two versions.

1. Run 0.19.04 again until it encounters the error.
2. Open a dos window (run CMD.EXE)
3. Type in this command (with the appropriate drive/paths):

"n:\pathtobd-rb\tools\tsmuxer.exe" "n:\pathtoworking\workfiles\aud_00230.meta" "n:\pathtoworking\workfiles"

Then report back what error TSMUXER reports.

Thanks.

Since AC3 basic form doesn't support 7.1, I expect that would be your problem. BD-Rebuilder would need an AC3+ encoder to allow support of compressed 7.1 audio (AC3+ is the standard for compressed audio on BD above 5.1)...

Thanks for the help and your guidance with eac3to.

Since the movie has both a LPCM track and a DD-EX track, wouldn't it make more sense for BD-RB to simply select the DD-EX track over the LPCM track and use it instead (since it knows it can't work with the 7.1 LPCM - and assuming that it can work with with the DD-EX)?

I have DB-RB setup to use one English audio track. Thus, it would be nice if it had code to make it smart enough to skip over the first audio track and use the next one if the first one is an incompatible track.

I tried to rebuild Harry Potter 1 with all extras and left only english/german audio and subs.

That's what happened:
- the BD has 108 clips
- main movie is VC-1
- on 5 of the clips, BD-RB stopped working -> I aborted
- resuming reported the error "Audio/PGS size" something
- chosed to continue -> the audio encoder (AFTEN) stopped at 100% and BD-RB hung
- I could circumvent this by replacing the concerned files with one that worked
- after it was finished I burned a BD-RE
- it didn't play at all on my PS3
- it did play in my BD burner with WinDVD, but Video was shaky and disturbed
- I found out that the 5 concerned files were MPEG2, 480i, 29.97fps

My BD-RB settings:
- encoder x264, normal, high quality
- target size BD25
- do not encode DTS to AC3
- do not recode AC3
- Trellis

I thought this should do.

No, because often those DD-EX tracks on Bluray discs come from lower quality sources than the high quality LPCM uncompressed tracks do...Crazy I know, it was the same in DVD days, where people often viewed DTS audio as much higher quality, but in fact the most difference came from the DTS track being produced from a much better source.

My first attempt at a movie only backup with BD-RB v0.19.14 was not successful. Movie was Pride and Glory, NTSC. Since I had experienced some marginal undersizing on previous versions, I did change the BD-5 size to 4.38GB, but other than that, clean rip with AnydvdHD and straight to BD-RB. Also, no resizing and do not reencode AC3 was selected.

Could you run the MUX from the command line so I can see what error is being generated?

1. Open a dos window (run CMD.EXE)

"n:\pathtobd-rb\tools\tsmuxer.exe" "n:\pathtoworking\workfiles\MUX_00004.meta" "n:\pathtoworking\workfiles\TMP"

Then report back what error TSMUXER reports.

Thanks.

Pride & Glory is a problem movie... I wouldn't suspect a problem with DVD Rebuilder based upon results from it. I've tried that movie with every version of this software, in every conceivable configuration for BD5 and BD9. I only managed to get it done using a BD-25 disc and burned it straight from the folder ripped by AnyDVD to disc with ImgBurn. Its a little odd because the original disc doesn't have any extras to speak of, and only a modest menu.

Do yourself a favor... put this one down for awhile, unless you can put it on a BD-25 disc. I hate this %#$@% movie!

Hi, tried a full movie backup bd-25 of serenity, with multiple audio tracks for english only, to retain commentaries. Got to 100 percent with no errors but then a popup box with the error code below appeared, had no choice but to click ok resulting in user aborted. The movie loads, all the scenes and audio seem to be there but the chapter structure is quite messed up. All the mpls files are in the playlist folder just like the original backup. I am learning about mpls editing right now, but if anyone can give some tips to help me out, let me know. I only saw this error once in this thread but unlike mine there were other errors with the encoding. Anyway here is the log:

@jdobbs:
I ran TSMUXER on the BD-RB created .264 and .sup files and the log says:

As GaPony already stated, this Bluray is very odd, possibly poorly mastered perhaps.
This one gave me some weird results as well.
Besides that bitstream error with the newer BD-RB (which basically couldn't produse a clpi file), it also caused the x264 crashes, and also crashed BD-RB when using the older x264 version as well...

Anyways, I ended up doing whata you're trying to do... But in order to get a working Bluray BD-9, I had to load everything like you have from the working folder, the used TSMuxers' Split & Cut function... I split it into two 4 GB chunks (like a multiple m2ts playlist BD), and cut off a few seconds off the ending credits (about 3 or 4 seconds)..... and then and only then did TSMuxer not give the bitstream error...

Hello jdobbs,

Thabk you for all. I wish to succeed and try my first BD AVCHD.

thanks

[Capsbackup]

@ GaPony and MikeyBK,
Thanks to both of you for this advice, as this does seem to be a troublesome backup. I did get it to work with movie only, by manually using TsMuxer on the .x264, .AC3 and .sup files and setting the split function to 4Gb. Interesting that this allows it to work, but not when there is no split. I did notice there is a slight skip at the split point on playback on my Sony BDP-BX1, where it jumps ahead about 3-4 seconds, but this is not that big a deal. :thanks:

I think you could fix it completely by running the m2ts(s, if split already) through EAC3To. It fixed my "The Pianist" HD DVD that had mastering errors and nothing would touch it until the recent releases of EAC3To were ran on it.

It can't output m2ts files so you won't be able to do a full backup most likely (just mux the output streams with TSmuxer). There is a possibility it could do a full disc backup if you take the corrected streams from EAC3To and dump it in the working folder during encoding at the correct time.

(This is all assuming EAC3To can fix it, which is quite likely but by no means certain)

[MikeyBK]

Not necessarily a bug but possibly important info for some who may encounter the same...

I had disabled VC-1 decoding in FFDSHOW, thus having WMV11 take over... however, when I was trying to playback Nights In Rodanthe, it started stuttering. When I re-enabled VC-1 to libavcodec in FFDSHOW, it played back smoothly again...

This may affect BD-RB trying to reencode this Bluray using WMV11, so just thought I'd get that info out there for others...

EDIT: just to add, this was when just trying to play back the Bluray from my BD drive to my HDTV... this was not the case when ripping, but may be an issue when re-encoding down to BD-9.

[jdobbs]

Just an update. I finally found what was causing the occasional (or maybe not so occasional) undersizing (especially on BD-25 and BD-9 full backup encodes) and have fixed it. You should see another update tomorrow. I'm trying to find one more thing before posting.

thanks Any chance this the source is LPCM 7.1? I don't think AFTEN can handle that... I need to look at changing it to 5.1 in the reencoding.

[MikeyBK]

The stuttering is probably only related to the playback on your computer and very likely wouldn't affect the encode itself.

That's good to know if that is the case, then I guess that's not really an issue for BD-RB. :)

EDIT: appears that you are right JD... this is more of an issue with Arcsoft TMT, because with VC-1 disabled Windows Media Player 11 played back the Bluray flawlessly.... much smoother than TMT.
just seems odd that TMT did not do well using WMV11 on this particular BD??

Thanks JD...

[Chefkoch_ico]

Thanks for telling. My earlier report that libavcodec worked with the VC-1 extras in Mamma Mia was premature--while BD-RB got thru those extras they were all "grey screen" i.e. no video. After all manner of attempts to try libavcodec, WMV9, and Disabled (and I do have WMP11 installed/working), none of these decode interlaced VC-1s on my computer--never mind the x264 crash, Vdub will crash also when running the AVS. So I get "no video", or "crash", or "crash" from the above. Only neuron2's DGVC1IndexNV works (thankfully), and with it I'm converting those extras right now.

One wonders how many of the issues reported here are owing to broken decoding--sorry I've contributed to the "BD-RB Bug Reports" where in fact my system has problems I can't seem to fix... :(

Hi!

I stay with vc1 decoding in ffdshow. It crashs x264 when decoding is not possible. WMV9/11 often does not, but has corrupted decoding and in this case you never know it unless you check all encoded extras.

So, a crashed one, I do again with DGVC1DecNV.

Btw. a LastCMDs.txt would be fine, where all x264 commandlines are written. This would make reencoding with different decoders easier.

Hello : Newbie with BD_RB, I try first to convert a "simple" BDMV structure (1 video 1080 and 1 audio AC3) to "see the process..."

Alas it keeps me sticked at the end of audio extract with same error...
A bug or a bad config ? Here is log :

So, a crashed one, I do again with DGVC1DecNV.Thanks for that--I thought I was the only one on Planet Earth that was having this problem!

I spent some time last night trying to figure-out why my computer hates 60i VC-1 encodings (some Extras in Mamma Mia) to no avail. I even re-downloaded and re-installed WMP11--no good, either Crash or Corruption. The only magic that works is DGVC1DecNV as you say, which obviously uses the GPU in our Nvidia cards bypassing ffdshow and WMVDECOD.dll altogether.

There are some threads here that discuss VC-1 problems and maybe someone in there can shed some light for me...

I just finished encoding Movie Only BD-9 with Highest, during encoding i checked cmd's and i saw that during first pass b-adapt 2 isn't used but during second pass is used. That is not good because b-adapt have effect only in first pass ;)

btw i saw you changed/added x264 cmd, where these settings come from?

Thanks

[Binnugsai]

Any chance this the source is LPCM 7.1? I don't think AFTEN can handle that... I need to look at changing it to 5.1 in the reencoding.

Yes jdobbs, you're right the audio is DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1.

Thanks i'm waiting because on the movie The Host, french one we have only 2 audio track and alla of them are DTS-HD Master Audio.

See you. have a nice week-end

Thanks I'll look at the command lines. They came from a post suggested by Dark Shikari with a couple of changes I made (particular to Blu-ray output) -- I may have left that setting in incorrectly.

[Dark Shikari]

I'll look at the command lines. They came from a post suggested by Dark Shikari with a couple of changes I made (particular to Blu-ray output) -- I may have left that setting in incorrectly.You should use b-adapt 2 on highest (on the first pass). It definitely helps a good bit on Blu-ray-level grainy sources.

[jdobbs]

Yeah, that's how it is set for the "Highest Quality" mode -- but it looks like (for some reason) I also had it in the command line for Pass 2. I just fixed it.

[Dark Shikari]

Yeah, that's how it is set for the "Highest Quality" mode -- but it looks like (for some reason) I also had it in the command line for Pass 2. I just fixed it.You can have it in the pass 2; it's just redundant.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post with a new version of BD Rebuilder (v0.19.05). The changes for this release are:
- Corrected a error in which selecting MKV as the
intermediate file could result in problems for
movie-only encodes (missing "track=" in META).
- Made slight adjustments to some sizing settings.
- Corrected the "selected" check when choosing
BD-25 output.
- Enabled MIN_M2TS_SIZE=nnn as a "hidden" option.
When set (for a non-MOVIE only encode) and the
output size is BD-25, any M2TS files that is
smaller than this value (in MB) is copied intact
to the output. Useful for retaining certain
files that can't be reencoded (like VC-1 extras
with hybrid progressive and interlaced streams)
when doing full disc backups.
- Corrected an error in sizing calculations that
could result in significant undersizing. This
is especially pronounced on BD-25 encodes.
- Resolved an issue in which CLPI tables were not
being correctly fixed when running movie-only
mode.
- One of the second pass settings incorrectly had
--b-adapt selected. Removed.
- Made improvements to processing for BD-25. Now
small menu files are automatically excluded from
reprocessing.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Hi!

Please clarify:- Corrected a error in which selecting MKV as the
intermediate file could result in problems for
movie-only encodes (missing "track=" in META).

Will BR-RB accept as initial input an MKV conversion of a BluRay disc (e.g. created by using "makeMKV" to rip the "movie-only" of a BluRay disc)?

[Furiousflea]

Hi!

Please clarify:

Will BR-RB accept as initial input an MKV conversion of a BluRay disc (e.g. created by using "makeMKV" to rip the "movie-only" of a BluRay disc)? No. BD-RB is designed to backup Blu-ray discs. I currently have no plans to support any other type of input.

[setarip_old]

Thanks for clarifying.

Am I correct in presuming then, that your reference (below) is regarding the internal workings only of your excellent program?

[tyau]

I have a question. It has probably been discussed already in this thread. But because of the immense amount of posts that are present, may I ask again?

What I want to ask is this: If I am backing up a movie-only BD-5 using BR-RB for playback on my HTPC or on my settop player, should I select the "Stricter AVCHD Compliance" option in BR-RB? I have realized that the output of BR-RB is already in settop compliant folder structure without selecting this option. Also, does selecting this option require the use of AVCHD patcher?

I have burnt many movie-only BD-5 without this option enabled and they play just fine. However when I selected this option (by accident), it seems that the BD structure is missing a few folders.

[jdobbs]

Am I correct in presuming then, that your reference (below) is regarding the internal workings only of your excellent program?When the video file is encoded it has to be stored in some form until it is muxed. In BD-RB that is normally as a .264 file -- but per request from one of the users (because of some oddity in their system, as I recall) I added the capability to alternatively store it as MKV.

That change note references a bug fix in which the muxing command (.META) was, in the previous version, not correctly set up for the proper muxing of the .MKV file.

[turbojet]

jdobbs thanks for the mkv 'track' fix, works well now. :)

It was me who requested the intermediate mkv files and the only reason is because MPC and MPC-HC don't handle m2ts muxed from .264 files corectly. They progressively go out of sync and go way out of sync if you seek. I've confirmed this on 5 different computers and numerous MPC versions. It's been a bug report for a few months now but they haven't gotten around to fixing it. Thankfully jdobbs was kind enough to include a feature to workaround it at least until MPC is fixed.

PS I think some bug reports would be eliminated if the bdrebuilder.ini didn't exist in the zip. This destroys previous settings and I've already seen a few 'bug reports' in this thread that relate to settings not saved after updating. From a fresh install the ini changes priority to idle, disables quick extras and sets path to C:\ compared to starting with no ini. Maybe idle priority could be default at first start?

I've just redone Bourne Identity to bd-9, full disc but didn't bother with stricter AVCHD compliance and no issues. However, as previously discussed the audio still doesn't work on a sony standalone player. I did try leaving the audio untouched but the disc size ended up at 12 Gb mainly because I wasn't paying attention and the main audio track was 11 Gb on it's own.

Hello jdobbs!

I found an error when I rebuilder documentary film with menus based on subpictures and not in java. The menus doesn't work at all, because the graphics are lost (only updated video and sound, but not subpictures in this kind of menus).

In some few, like the HDScape collection (Antarctica, Hawaii, Exotic Saltwater acuarium and more), I'd change the menus thats don't work by the original ones (updated not only the m2ts files but also the playlist and clipinf files, helped by an hex editor), because the original video are compress with avc h264 codec at medium-low bitrate (12-15 Mbits). But in other one, an Imax film (Antarctica: An Adventure Of A Different Nature 1991), the menus are in MPEG2 @ 40 Mbits and obviously, this menu don't work properly in redlaser media.

Anyway, thank you for this magical app.

I don´t remove any subtitles, because the documentary only have music without narration, and don't have any subtitles at all.

The rebuild was made in Full Backup mode (original are 12-15 gigas only) and target size dvd9. But the important is, in the workfiles directory don't demux graphics streams (I don't know if this type of graphics overlays must be in sup format, like a subtitle, or any other format like *.ies) and mux metadata only have video and audio, and of course, the final menu don't work.

Tell me if you nead a sample, and one time again, thank you for your time and effort.

The subtitle settings under Setup= all languages. I just rebuild one more time this menu with the last beta, with the same result: graphics overlays don't appear, and menu don't work.

This attachment have the main menu (I'd deleted all intros without update clipinf and playlist). It works perfectly. When I rebuild, the navigational menu disappears.

Has anybody managed to backup Wall E in movie only mode ?

I managed with one of the earlier 18.x (07?) builds (but with the slow desyncing of the soundtrack over the course of the movie). With the more recent builds movie only backup of that disc no longer seems possible (full backup works).

When opening the disc in movie only mode, only file #nr 00004 of the entire playlist shows up as having an audio track (see below).

http://www.talkietoaster.ch/doom9/movieonly.jpg

Hence when you start backing up it fails at file #00000, not finding an audio track. If you switch to "full backup", all the files have an audio track and the backup works (see below) ...

http://www.talkietoaster.ch/doom9/full.jpg

It is the UK distribution (region B) of Wall E.

[DaMacFunkin]

Furthermore to the Wall-E problem, i have just done Wyatt Earp, and the main movie is split over 2 files, in full back up mode is there a way to select all the main movie files for Advanced encode, then leave the extras as "quicker encodes" because under the current system i can't have Quicker encode for extras because then nearly half the film will be encoded in differnet quality. so i have to Have advanced reencode (2 pass) enabled for the entire disk.

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs;
Not sure if the past undersizing issue you mentioned was related to BD-5 size or if you made any adjustments for that selection, or was it maybe just BD-25 and BD-9? I backed up Nights in Rodanthe, NTSC, with BD-RBV01906 to movie only BD-5, 4.27GB and it only came out to 4.13GB. This is a pretty short movie, so I do not believe there is any video quality reduction because of this, but I thought I would just tell you my results.

I can't speak to the UK version, but I backed up the US version of WALL-E (Movie Only to BD9) with one of the earliest versions of BD Rebuilder...

It might be worth re-ripping it to the HDD with AnyDVD-HD (default setting). It couldn't hurt..

Has anybody managed to backup Wall E in movie only mode ?

I managed with one of the earlier 18.x (07?) builds (but with the slow desyncing of the soundtrack over the course of the movie). With the more recent builds movie only backup of that disc no longer seems possible (full backup works).

When opening the disc in movie only mode, only file #nr 00004 of the entire playlist shows up as having an audio track (see below).

...image...

Hence when you start backing up it fails at file #00000, not finding an audio track. If you switch to "full backup", all the files have an audio track and the backup works (see below) ...

...image...

It is the UK distribution (region B) of Wall E. The reason I only show one stream with the audio track is because they all have to have the same audio choices (they are parts of a single PlayList). If I didn't do that people would make different selections for different parts and end up with output that changes languages midstream.

I've already seen cases of people doing that on full backups -- because they didn't realize that an M2TS sometimes is only a small part of an overall stream.

It may not be a bad idea for me to change the stream screen show it displays MPLS files (Playlists) rather than M2TS files.

I can confirm that the
BD Rebuilder has experienced error 8 [17:26:30] CreateBDFiles() 00076 8

error is no longer coming up with 0.19.06...

I DID just get this popup message on movie only mode using 0.19.06. Never had a popup error message before this.


Are there any popup error message at the time of the error? Also, can you post the contents of the AUD_00001.META file?

There are no pop up messages, here is the content of AUD_00001.META for my problem Sin City JAP disc...

@jdobbs;
Not sure if the past undersizing issue you mentioned was related to BD-5 size or if you made any adjustments for that selection, or was it maybe just BD-25 and BD-9? I backed up Nights in Rodanthe, NTSC, with BD-RBV01906 to movie only BD-5, 4.27GB and it only came out to 4.13GB. This is a pretty short movie, so I do not believe there is any video quality reduction because of this, but I thought I would just tell you my results.

Defo a good idea to have, if you could make it optional that would be fantasitc :)

[jdobbs]

Are you sure he isn't talking about the DivX H.264 decoder?Good point...

[DaMacFunkin]

Hah, i see, so is BD Rebuilder already doing mpls encoding as apposed to m2ts?, if so that completley nullifies what i said before and i've been interpreting the situation all wrong???...

[jdobbs]

Yes. There are a large number of sources in which the movie is broken into numerous segments -- BD-RB would be very limited if it didn't process MPLSs for movie-only.

[Talkietoaster]

I can't speak to the UK version, but I backed up the US version of WALL-E (Movie Only to BD9) with one of the earliest versions of BD Rebuilder...

It might be worth re-ripping it to the HDD with AnyDVD-HD (default setting). It couldn't hurt..

This is exactly what I am saying. It did work with an earlier version (with the desync bug), but it no longer seems to work with the current version.

Apparently the difference in the gui (screenshots) has nothing to do with it, yet I cant get it to work, be it ripped to harddisk or directly from BR.

I am backing up another movie now (kungfu panda), works like a charm.

But in full back up mode, does it process the movie mpls with the advanced settings then the extras as quicker encode if that option is enabled, or can it not make that distinction in full back up mode?...

[datman]

What operating system are you using? That should be installed along with Windows. You can download it from the Microsoft site. Save it to the windows\system32 directory and register it with REGSVR32.

vista 32 and also windows 7 64 both are missing that file. I found this;
FAQ
Component MSCOMCTL.OCX or one of its dependencies not currently registered ...

Sometime certain Microsoft Libraries can become unregistered when installing and uninstalling a lot of software. One very common problem is the MSCOMCTL.OCX.

To correct the error, first search your drive for MSCOMCTL.OCX to see if you have it. If not you can download it from HERE

The file should be placed in your C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Or, if you are C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 if you are using WinXP.

Once it is there click START--> RUN and type "REGSVR32 MSCOMCTL.OCX" (No quotes) in the box.

That should fix the problem.


but it did not work with W7 64. I will trry with vista

[datman]

[drmih]

I'm having issues with 19.06 where x264 keeps stopping working on vista 64. I have been watching the encode this evening and I managed to get it by the first file it had problems with by retrying over and over again - it doesn't keep stopping at the same position. I'm now on a second file on the same disc (it did the main movie no problem, it's the extras it's struggling with) and got it through the first pass after 10 mins of retrying but am still battling with the second pass - it's been an hour or so of retrying and rebooting. As the disc is at 96% I'm hanging in there (for information it is Burn after Reading).

##Got past the second file, did a few more and now stuck on a third but it's at 99%

I hardly think that jdobbs cares if it's working smoothly on Windows 7 at this point. It's quite common for the odd DLL etc to astray on any OS. Just download it again by doing a search on google. I don't even think it needs to be "registered". just place it in your path.

Are you running command prompt as administrator (Right click and run as administrator) if not it wont work

[laserfan]

I notice MSCOMCTL.OCX is in my BD_Rebuilder directory. It's also in my DVD-RB directory, so presumably it's part of jdobbs' packages, so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for datman?

As an aside, I notice the version w/BD-RB and DVD-RB is ancient, from 2002 (ver 6.01.9545). The version in my XP Pro SP3 installation (system32 dir) is slightly less ancient, from 2005, ver 6.1.97.86. I don't know if an old version with a new system is a problem or not...

[datman]

I did exactly what was stated I didn't need to run as administrator. I got some kind of a incompatible file error. I didn't copy it. As for W7 I'm reinstalling it. There is alot of info about this error out there for xp.w2k,and NT none for vista or W7. Odds are it will reinstall ok. My vista I would like to patch

It may not be a bad idea for me to change the stream screen show it displays MPLS files (Playlists) rather than M2TS files.

Yes, that would make things much easier, as I always have to set audio manually and it is much work with movies, that are split into 50+ parts.

Same here, although to DVD9. I set 8140 as target bitrate but my backups when I do movie only always turn out at around 7.65-7.75GB - 250mb undersize. If you muliply that by 3.5 which is the size of a BD25 (roughly) it is about a GB.

As stated before I don't understand this as x264 is easily within 1% when target size is set, there must be other variable overhead or something I would expect relating to m2ts container.

As stated before I don't understand this as x264 is easily within 1% when target size is set, there must be other variable overhead or something I would expect relating to m2ts container. I've been playing it safe until we have more information. Currently I am assuming 7% in overhead for muxing the video (M2TS format). I'll adjust it down to 6% and it should get us closer to hitting the target size.

Honestly though, I don't see the big deal in a 1% undersize buffer on a disc...

[deank]

@Furiousflea: I'd say that a difference of 3-4% is almost a miracle and you should be satisfied, as with m2ts container it is REALLY hard to predict overhead with so many different audio/subtitles/menu streams.

[Chefkoch_ico]

Honestly though, I don't see the big deal in a 1% undersize buffer on a disc...

No worries, wasn't a complaint just an fyi. I think a few pages back undersize was mentioned and in the recent release you said undersize was corrected. Just reporting that the undersize is exactly the same as before - no change.

I'm not really fussed as I just set the target to 8250MB and get about 7.8-7.9GB. The reason I bring it up is because this is pretty much a certainty and shows that even with all this variable overhead it still CAN hit the target bang on. Only the target that is set in the INI is not the real target.

My only suggestion is that it should be? Fair enough have the default set at a conservative value as it is already. But since it's a hidden setting to set a custom value is it really a good idea for a user to need to set 8250MB to achieve 7.8-7.9GB?

I'm prolly not explaining myself very well. I'm saying that the undersize is consistent AND predictable. Given this, shouldn't the custom value be hard set in reality :p ...It seems that even the custom value is conservative too which makes no sense.

Here's some examples...

Harry Potter 5 - custom value 8140 - 7.82GB output (movie only)
The Notebook - custom 8140 - 7.84GB output (full disc)
Mamma Mia - custom value - 8140 - 7.81GB output (movei only)
Harry Potter 1 - default value 7910? - 7.64GB output (movie only)
Independence Day - custom value 8200 - 7.87GB output (movie only)
Mulholland Drive - default 7910 - 7.64GB output (movie only)


I won't bring this up again but as you can see, your target sizing is pretty darn accurate so there really isn't any need for me needing to set a falsely high value in the ini to achive a full disc :)

8140 should be the full capacity of a DVD9, given that your sizing IS accurate you would be at no risk by allowing 8140 to mean 8140 ONLY in the ini for experienced users. (obviously not as a default as this would be cutting it fine). I believe you did this with DVD-Rebuilder with no complaints ;) Your current sizing is no less accurate than CCE doing a DVD encode.

(sorry I don't mean to go on and am trying to help)

I would disagree with out fellow mathsmaticians who claim this is only like 1% difference, you don't calculate how much of the total to work out whats wasted, you calculate how much is lost relative to the size of your video since audio quality is a constant this extra wasted space would be spent directly on video encoding, most of which on the main feature.

[BenieUK]

Just reporting that the under-size is exactly the same as before - no change.

Maybe for some but for me the under-size bug has gone... I been doing full disc backups keeping all audio and subs, high quality (default) , do not convert audio (both) since about v18.?? and my end results (the ones that got all the way through) were ending up 16GB ish NOT the 25GB i had selected... since this new version v19.06 all 4 BD's i have done in the last 2 days all work 100% and are around the 22-23GB mark :)

Also the ones that kept getting errors during encode also went all the way with out probs... THANKS JDOBBS !!

Movies i have done in the last 2 days are:

The Day After Tomorrow
Heroes - Season 1 - Disc 1
Resident Evil 3
Pirates 2 (not pirates of the Caribbean, lol :)

All UK Region B

Only thing i'm waiting for now is the option to keep original DTS-HD etc.. but dont mind the wait :)

Keep up the great work :) 2nd donation on its way soon... Thanks again.

:thanks:

[procorea]

@JD, congrats for this great program.

I've been agonizing to make my 1st posting due to the 5-day rule since joining...

Meanwhile on the other hand I've been re-trying the processing of some BD rips with every new version of BD Rebuilder since 0.18.7, so whatever errors I'm still getting can be trusted as consistent I guess; the X264 errors have gone away but the following errors remain, affecting 5 of about a dozen titles I have used BD Rebuilder on:

[my usual setup: movie-only mode, DVD-9 target, selecting whenever available English & French 5-ch AC3 audio tracks (or HD if available), leaving all subtitles in; btw I'm on Win XP SP3 in English but with some French Canadian settings like for the keyboard]

Problem 1:

Failing to retrieve audio, aborting right at beginning; this happens with 2 of my rips, "Meet the Robinsons" and "Wall-E", below is a typical log (this one when trying "Wall-E"; btw when I last tried with "Meet the Robinsons" BD Rebuilder was reporting 144GB for input BD size, obviously incorrect; in Explorer the folder is seen to have a total size of 38.9GB):

Problem 2:

Failing at final mux, getting message "Audio-PGS sizing issue", but the m2ts and audio files seem to all be in the work folder, is there a way to re-use these files to make a successful build without re-processing all the files ? This happens with 2 of my rips, "Pirates of the Carribean 3" and "From Hell". Typical description of windows that pop up , BD rebuilder log and program behavior:

Problem 3:

Generating a very undersized target: happened on my BD rip "Live Free or Die Hard"; instead of about 7.72BG, files generated amounted to 4.45GB (bummer, had it been under 4.37GB I probably wouldn't have minded).

______________________

That's it for what I think might be problems.

Now I have a question about transportability of burned DVDs (w/ ImgBurn and I followed the instructions, selecting UDF 2.5 etc.):

Discs were burned using a desktop PC, they play back very well on this PC's PowerDVD 8.

But they don't work if I put the DVD in my laptop's drive, on the same OS and PowerDVD8 installation. Actually this laptop is the PC from which I made the BD rips because it equipped with a BD-RE burner. I get no video, audio plays for a few seconds then stops. Play timer keeps running. If I click to advance chapter the whole thing freezes.

So far I have 2 burned discs that behave like this on my laptop, I didn't burn any other yet until I get advice on how to fix this, in case the fix requires manipulation of the output files before burning them (or maybe the fix needs to be applied on the laptop itself ?). I have 8 titles whose outputs (20-25GB each for the workfiles & output folders) are standing by due to this issue, I'd like to free up that space if I can...

1. I'd need more information. For that error I'd need for you to try running the AUD_00091.META file through TSMUXER in a command window so I can see what error it is receiving.
2. The audio/pgs error means that your target isn't big enough. If all the selected audio and pgs files are added together, there is no room for the video.
3. Not sure what could be the issue -- but make sure you use the latest version because there were some updates related to sizing.

aAs for the last comment. It sounds like flakey discs or a flakey drive to me. If you are using the same version of PowerDVD and OS that's the only reasonable source for the issue.

[Shuttle99]

I keep getting and error "Audio & PG Size to large continue" at the end of pass 2/2 with Pirates 3 movie only with every version of BD rebuilder so far. Any ideas why this is happening? If I say to continue it looks like it might be continue but then it does nothing.

[jdobbs]

See #2 on the post before yours. It means your audio/pgs selection is too big to fit on your selected destination size -- even without encoding the video.

Well... more accurately it means that the audio/pgs is too big to fit in the allocated size of the output for the specific file being encoded... but the result is the same. You'd have to encode the video to a negative size in order to make the encode possible.

[Shuttle99]

Thanks for the quick answer so the next question is I tried this again to DVD9 and still the same thing is their a way around it there is two audio's LPCM and AC3 I tried each one separately and still no go. Any sugestions? I found a disc I made with one of the early versions I think 17.13 the whole disc and it worked fine but the quality was bad thats when I decided to do movie only and now it won't do it.

[turbojet]

The undersize issue gets more and more affected by number of subs and audio included too.

RipBot264 author, Atak_Snajpera, seems to have overhead for 1 audio stream and multiple sub streams nailed down to a science. I think he's had some problems with multiple audio streams though. That program lacks the much needed 720 sups.

Now if only 2 heads could come together and make both software that much better.

1. What do you have set as the output size?
2. How long is the total video?

If the audio is too big to fit on your target, you have to raise the output size to dual layer or BD-25. This is a necessity set forth by physics, not BD-RB. I'm guess you're trying to fit more on a DVD-5 than will fit.

@jdobbs:
I beleive I found a partial explanation to the error I experienced in full backup of Nights in Rodanthe, post #1579. I had deselected the non-english subtitles, so when I received the error, I ran the mux_00015.meta file from the command line and it said it could not find the 00015.track_4609.sup. So I demuxed this subtitle with TsMuxer and put it in the workfiles folder, and clicked backup again, and then it worked. However, I had to demux all the removed subtitles from the original .m2ts files, and put them in the workfiles folder to avoid the same errors on the other mux_****.meta files it was crashing on. However, after a promising looking rebuild, at the very end I received the error "[17:44:25] CorrectMPLS() 00009 5" like before.

Same problem here, except I am exporting the english track from the UK edition of Wall E. This problem was not present in an earlier build (methinks it was 18.07).

I'll pick up a copy of Wall-E and see what I can find.

Had no problem resizing for me on BD9 (1080i60 source)

[procorea]

@JD;

I ran AUD_00091.meta (that was the file for Wall-E) through TSMuxer in a command window as you requested, attached file "metarun.jpg" is what came out of it, I hope that will be useful.

[drmih]

I'll pick up a copy of Wall-E and see what I can find.

I did a R1 Wall-E Full disc to bd-9 yesterday and there wasn't an issue with the latest version.

Interestingly, when I did the extras disc (which was over 40Gb) it completed fine but the output size was just over 4GB (although set to bd-9). I left it burning this morning and will see what happened - I did notice that many of the original files were very basic computer generated images.

[stazna01]

A) Pop-up windows:

(1) "Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Continue ?

(after clicking "Yes"):

(2) BD Rebuilder experienced an error 8 [11:50:26] DoEncoding ()00009 8

after that, BD Rebuilder displays "Multiplexing M2TS file..."
but is obviously frozen (left running very long);
clicking "Abort" button coes not work

I'm having the exact same issue as Procorea. I'm trying to backup Die Hard 2 to a DVD9, but I always get the "Audio and/or PGS" size error.

Die Hard 2 is not a very long movie, so it doesn't seem that it could be because the movie is too long to fit on a DVD9. My log is as follows...

"Full disc" was no issue either, the problem arises with "Movie only"

[drmih]

Sorry - the thread is becoming so long that sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees. As it was a two disc set there were so few extras that it didn't seem much point to do movie only.

Sounds kinda like you forgot to re-enable mpeg2 in FFDSHOW when you re-installed it??

[turbojet]

Resizing to 720p works here too with BD5, BD9 and BD25 output.

Let me guess you overwrote your old .ini went in gui and checked resize again and it didn't work, Then closed and opened BD-RB again chose BD25 and it worked?

This .ini included in the pack really messes people up.

[tyau]

Just used v0.19.06 to encode Body of Lies to a BD5. It performed the task flawlessly. Like always I used TsMuxer to strip it down to movie-only before using Blu-ray Rebuilder to do the encoding task. I select all the picture quality options (highest quality encoding, Tellis, Colorboost).

I personally feel that choosing "Do not down-convert DTS-HD to AC3" or "Do not reencode AC3" yields much better sound quality than choosing them, with almost no noticible degrades in picture quality.

One thing I notice with Body of Lies is this. I forgot to check "Do not reencode AC3" within BDRB. The result is that once in a while when the film is playing, there's some crackling or static noise. Is this the byproduct of vigorous reencoding or compressing? I will have to redo Body of lies again and select "Do not reencode AC3", it seems.

Colourboost is not a quality improving option, "Do not convert\encode..." options are there to improve overall bitrate for video which is ideal for LONG films. Some films you won't notice a difference on or off, some will look much better with it off. You can't just generalise like you have unless your target is BD25 when any option relating to saving bitrate is a waste of time and won't make picture better.

You should not be experiencing crackiling\static\noise regardless of reencoding the AC3 or not.[/B] I can point blank tell you that. BD-Rebuilder doesn't make compromises like that. All it's doing is encoding your AC3 at 448kbs which is still the highest quality allowed for DVD Video.

[15:22:25] - Failed video encode, abortedLooks like one of those infamous 60i VC-1s perhaps? What does MediaInfo say about 00010.m2ts?

If yes, it's a decoder problem & not and x264 issue at all.

Colourboost is not a quality improving option, "Do not convert\encode..." options are there to improve overall bitrate for video which is ideal for LONG films. Some films you won't notice a difference on or off, some will look much better with it off. You can't just generalise like you have unless your target is BD25 when any option relating to saving bitrate is a waste of time and won't make picture better.

You should not be experiencing crackiling\static\noise regardless of reencoding the AC3 or not.[/B] I can point blank tell you that. BD-Rebuilder doesn't make compromises like that. All it's doing is encoding your AC3 at 448kbs which is still the highest quality allowed for DVD Video.


Thanks for clarifying.

However I was not generalizing. I have bluntly stated what "I personally feel" with the particular film that I am currently encoding: body of lies.

Eagle Eye (USA) is seen as 103 GB even though its 40 GB with 1x TrueHD, 2x AC3. BD-RB errors saying target is too small outputting to BD5,. BD9, BD25. I tested all 0.18 and 0.19 builds all the same thing, 0.17 has expired so I couldn't test it.

edit: Nevermind had files in the root directory that were being counted. Works fine when they are removed.

Update on "The Matrix" and no audio\subs beging selectable or played on main feature in full disc mode.

I looked at the audio tracks again and here they are...

Dolby TrueHD Audio English 0 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 16-bit (AC3 Core: 5.1 / 48 kHz / 640kbps)
Dolby Digital Audio English 640 kbps 5.1 / 48 kHz / 640 kbps

Dolby Digital Audio English 192 kbps 2.0 / 48 kHz / 192 kbps / Dolby Surround
Dolby Digital Plus Audio English 192 kbps 2.0 / 48 kHz / 192 kbps

The Dolby Digital Plus track bolded isn't being detected by BD-Rebuilder. This track seems to be out of spec to me as I always thought that Bluray format only supported Dolby Digital Plus encoding for tracks with more than 5.1 channels...

Could this be anything to do with the problem of no audio\subs being selectable?

I also notice as I posted a while back that BD-Rebuilder discards the 2nd video track (which you have said is normal) but could some messing up of the streams be occuring here?

When loading the m2ts in TSmuxer after encoding it DOES show the correct number of streams etc, but maybe something isn't being updated in the mpls or something like that?

Thanks for looking if you get the time :)

[jdobbs]

Put your system clock back ;)
No. Don't put your clock back. They are timed out so I don't have to deal with them anymore. They should be trashed. That's why the timeout is there. Look at the list of fixes and tell me why anyone in their right mind would want to use them... :mad:

Thanks for looking if you get the time :) Hmmm... you may have a point there. If the secondary video track has the first ID, that might cause problems in playback based upon what happens in command codes... I'll look at that.

Hmmm... you may have a point there. If the secondary video track has the first ID, that might cause problems in playback based upon what happens in command codes... I'll look at that.

As for the audio track... if it isn't shown in BD-RB then it also isn't listed in the CLPI file. I don't believe that should happen if it is properly authored.

Strange because the DD+ audio track shows up in EAC3TO when analysing both the mpls and the m2ts for the main feature. Sorry for my naughty advice, I just had to do this when testing my Sin City jap import when I couldn't get it to encode with new versions but the old 0.17 treats it with the respect it deserves. But yes of course your point is very valid and not a good idea to use old versions.

[mmace]

Sounds kinda like you forgot to re-enable mpeg2 in FFDSHOW when you re-installed it??nope, first thing I did during installing it and checked again afterwards, I followed the 1st page instructions step by step

If I click backup again it tries 3 videos within about 4 seconds and aborts, the first video is AVC the 2nd 2 are VC-1 so MPEG2 isn't in there anyway!

[jdobbs]

I'm getting mixed reports on PS3 results. It's not clear to me -- if you create a movie-only disc with BD-RB, does it run as-is on a PS3 or does it need to be patched? I know a full backup shows as a data disc because the PS3 doesn't appear to support BD-5/9 (not sure what I can do about that).

Could someone with a PS3 confirm one way or the other?

i did about +/-30 backups and they work fine with or w/o avchd compliance setting and no patching. btw i have newer ps3 80GB version.

With the exception of the BD-9s that skipped on the PS3s on a earlier version of Bd-RB, all other movie-only BD-9s (around 30 as well) play completely fine on my daughters' PS3....

Can you confirm that they play as "blurays" and that you don't have to select the m2ts manually to play them? Even if they are "movie only" they should still be treated like blurays. Can you also confirm compatible audio etc in BD9.

I think that would be useful to know, as we know the PS3 can play m2ts manually but that doing it this way limits things like chapters and audio compatibility (i think).

[robinthehood]

Hi, First post for me but i've been lurking for a while now, @jdobbs thank you its a great bit of software, i've done 6 movie only back ups to bd-25 so far, apart from the stuttering that happened in an earlier version i've had no problems i'm playing on an early version PS3 updated to the latest firmware, all my discs have been seen as blu-rays and play fine apart from the chapter seek which is slower than the original blurays but not a problem also i did the first 3 on high quality (default) and the last 3 on better (fast) and i don't see any difference in picture quality? shaves about 5hours the overall time for me.

They all behave like a Bluray (although seen as AVCHD ..IIR), auto starts when inserted... w/ chapters and plays the audio just fine...

Never had to manually play only the M2ts file...

would any more info be helpful if I provided it for this post: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1254162&postcount=1609

Unfortunately I don't have that version. My NTSC version of "The Matrix" has 11 audio tracks (that don't match yours) and they all show in BD-RB.

I've already started another movie, but I'll redo Pearl Harbor tonight and post the results tomorrow morning. Please excuse the noobishness of this...but what is the exact command i should be using? Is it the following?

tsmuxer c:/path_to_files/MUX_00000.META

Also, do you have any ideas on my audio/pgs error? The film I'm trying is two hours/four minutes and I'm doing movie only mode. The only thing that sticks out for me is that there are two "vid" files and it errors when it hits the second one (that is .03 mb). All my successful backups seem to only have one vid file.

I think that would be useful to know, as we know the PS3 can play m2ts manually but that doing it this way limits things like chapters and audio compatibility (i think).

On the PS3, a "Movie Only" copy is seen as an AVCHD disc (A full movie is seen as a data disc). Just select the AVCHD to play and the movie plays normally... chapter settings work . Obviously, no menus, extras, etc.

There may be some exceptions, but on the 41 BD9 "Movie Only" copies, that how it works.

Just done The Simpsons Movie (UK) , full disc BD25, keep all audio and subs, do not convert DTS/AC3, High (Default setting)

I was running a rebuild of Traitor from last night when my system hung and crashed this morning. It was at almost 75% of pass 2 and I would rather not (as I have done before) restart the rebuild process from step 1.

The files that are in the WORKFILES folder are as follows:

00001.track_4352.dts
00001.track_4608.sup
AUD_00001.meta
AUD_00001_4352.AVS
VID_00001.AVS
VID_00001.AVS.264
VID_00001.AVS.264.stats


I opened a cmd session and ran the command from the LASTCMD.TXT file and it seems to be chugging along fine.

I assume that I can copy the MUX*.meta files from another session and edit them to fit to continue the process. What I am requesting is a step-by-step description of what I need to do to bring it up to the point I can re-run BD-RB to run the BD structure build and thus complete the rebuild, if that is possible.

TIA and :thanks: for this great piece of software.

Currently got 40 Year Old Virgin converting, the main bits of the movie are fine, but the MPEG2 480i extras are out of sync, about 2-3 seconds (video ahead of audio)

TIA and :thanks: for this great piece of software. The META files are specific to the job... so you'll probably have to edit them.

Are you doing movie-only or full backup? After you are complete with the encode go into BDREBUILDER.INF and add 1 to the value shown in COMPLETED=N -- if it is movie-only and there is only one M2TS you'll have to add the value "COMPLETED=1". Then you can resume where you left off and BD-RB will do the REBUILD.

I'm going to change BD-RB so it picks up where it left off better in the encode/prepare sequence (demuxing audio, pass 1, pass 2, encoding audio, muxing).

Thanks a lot for this point in the future.
Now all my copies are okay but i use the Htpc to see it. But no problems of rebuild.

Yes, I understood that. Normally I delete everything after having tested the burnt DVD9 but luckily I just had my "Chronicles of Riddick" still in a temp folder. :cool:

Its a movie only. Don't need menus or extras as I just want to watch the movie. :p
Thanks for the pointer about the "COMPLETED=N" line in the INF. Will do that when the manual pass 2 is completed.

I'm going to change BD-RB so it picks up where it left off better in the encode/prepare sequence (demuxing audio, pass 1, pass 2, encoding audio, muxing).

If I may be so bold as to come with a suggestion here?
How about a "Recover from..." button with a dropdown list that outlines which step to resume from.
That might be helpful for those who (need/wish to?) do pre-processing of the BD source and need to just have BD-RB pick up the process from some point after that.

Hi.

I was doing a full backup of Bangkok Dangerous, German version. With 0.19.06 to BD25.

Its nearly a perfect copy. Only one thing:
The first thing played is a trailer. After that comes a motion menu. But the menu items don´t appear. After the first run of the menu, after about 1 minute, the menu loop starts again and now there are also the menu items.

Without processing through BD-RB (meaning only running through AnyDVD HD), the menu items appear normally.

What Information would help you to analyse the problem?

Is it the same for playback on PC and playback on a standalone player?

[drmih]

Here's some more information on the problem with discs and the audio / subtitles unselectable on certain discs. I did the Matrix Trilogy (R1) and got the following using the latest version:

The Matrix (full disc / bd-25 / all english audio left / dts untouched) - Everything seems fine but when you play the disc there is only one audio track which is DD 3/2.1 48khz, you can toggle through the others but nothing changes where you should pick up the directors commentary. If you change the audio by the menu you see the track number change but still 3/2.1 main audio.

The Matrix Reloaded / Revolutions (bd-9 / full disc / audio processed / english commentaries included) - there is no sound on my sony standalone and you can't toggle the audio or subtitles and the information line shows no audio stream. It plays fine on a pc so I played the main movie m2ts using media player classic and you can select the movie audio, or two secondary tracks and they are fine.

It must be some flag not being set correctly and the only audio that was playable would seem to be the HD one on the bd-25.

Bye The first M2TS probably wasn't recognized as a menu and the overlay PGS was removed as if it were an unwanted subtitle. I'm trying to improve my recognition of "menus" for the next release -- but it isn't easy to do. I'd suggest you set BD-RB to keep all subtitles, and leave it that way.

Here's some more information on the problem with discs and the audio / subtitles unselectable on certain discs. I did the Matrix Trilogy (R1) and got the following using the latest version:

The Matrix (full disc / bd-25 / all english audio left / dts untouched) - Everything seems fine but when you play the disc there is only one audio track which is DD 3/2.1 48khz, you can toggle through the others but nothing changes where you should pick up the directors commentary. If you change the audio by the menu you see the track number change but still 3/2.1 main audio.

The Matrix Reloaded / Revolutions (bd-9 / full disc / audio processed / english commentaries included) - there is no sound on my sony standalone and you can't toggle the audio or subtitles and the information line shows no audio stream. It plays fine on a pc so I played the main movie m2ts using media player classic and you can select the movie audio, or two secondary tracks and they are fine.

It must be some flag not being set correctly and the only audio that was playable would seem to be the HD one on the bd-25.Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that's how it's supposed to work (assuming you removed some audio tracks). The "empty pointers" to track that were removed all point to the audio that is retained.

[jdobbs]

For the folks who were having issues with WALL-E, I've picked up a copy (with my donations :)) and will be running it tonight. Hopefully I'll see the same error and can find a fix.

[Chefkoch_ico]

I should have mentioned it before. I kept all subs. I even kept all audio tracks.

Anything that could help, just ask.

I Have PowerDVD 8 fully updated and i test my encodes by mounting the iso image then running it as a disc in powerdvd... sometimes they dont work correct in powerdvd but i burn them to BD-RE anyways and test in my Sony S350 and they work perfect.

Can you post the contents of the MUX_00000.META file? If possible a command line attempt at muxing might help reveal exactly what error you are getting from TSMUXER.

i tried rebuilding Nights In Rodanthe, and I got the following error:

What is this error? Please help, and thank you.

[rafrag]

there is a new ver. of x264 released today, can it be used with existing bd rb or we have to wait for new release?

[procorea]

Speaking of new x264 release, could this be related:

In rebuilding "Live Free or Die Hard", the resulting m2ts file resulted in garbled video; band of scrambled pixels about 1/5 of image height appear for about a second, every 2-3 seconds.

Hint: x264 failed encoding on 1st try, but succeeded on retry.

I processed the whole thing twice to ensure it wasn't some OS glitch (was runnning several apps the 1st time) - identical result.

Note also this behavior, using V 0.19.6, wasn't occurring with prior try on same movie with earlier version 0.19.4 if I remember correctly), however resulting file size was much samller thant target for a DVD9 (was yielding just under 5 GB).

hmm, odd. It's the UK Version, import via Amazon. I'll post more detailed failure info as soon as possible. Thanx for your research.

Did rebuilder automatically select the correct playlist ? It did not with me. Had to manually select it. As a default it selects file 0004, i think. Which is the biggest chunk but not the entire movie. But let me check again.

Open the ORIGINAL m2ts BEFORE running BD-Rebuilder to theck if BD+ got removed properly by AnyDVDHD. It sounds like the protection is still on the disc. (What you describe is what BD+ titles look like if the protection has not been removed).

Hi.

I was doing a full backup of Bangkok Dangerous, German version. With 0.19.06 to BD25.

Its nearly a perfect copy. Only one thing:
The first thing played is a trailer. After that comes a motion menu. But the menu items don´t appear. After the first run of the menu, after about 1 minute, the menu loop starts again and now there are also the menu items.

Without processing through BD-RB (meaning only running through AnyDVD HD), the menu items appear normally.

What Information would help you to analyse the problem?

Bye

I was able to get around this problem. I took a look which m2ts the motion menu is and looked at the size. It was around 240MB.

So by setting MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250 and reencode (thx for ENCODE_QUALITY=5) the menu is now fully working.

If I can provide you some files to improve menu detection, just tell.

Bye

Hey jdobbs, maybe you haven't seen this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1255073#post1255073) yet, but the poster makes a case for an error in the fixclpi code.

If he's right it might be the reason for some of the oddities posted here.

[vcarter]

hi

using the last beta.
it's the first time i don't get the audio error.and so the first time the backup begins.i work on the rip of the "the ligue of extraordinary gentleman".by rip i means it only gets french audio and movie only.but the size is 20 GB.

in bd rebuilder log,i can see "input bd size 4.00 GB".it's wrong.

if i got a rip with bad resolution for ps3 (not 1920*1080 or 1280*720),can i use the "convert 1080p to 720p" option to get perfect 720p reso.

No, you use your original disc that you have legally paid for and will get much better results as the source will be better too.

[infiniter]

I guess I found another AVS script bug (don't shoot me if it was posted before, I used the search):

If the source .m2ts is interlaced, the AVS script for reencoding contains

FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)
ConvertToYV12()

The problem is that FieldDeinterlace only accepts YV12 (and not all videos are YV12) or the other format and thus the reencoding stops.

So the script should be:

ConvertToYV12()
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)

instead.

[vcarter]

thanx jdobbs

first time i can finish the work.no more audio errors.got a 7.43 GB instead of the 7.72 estimated target.

just a precision please.i know the last nvidia gpu with pv2 (don't know about ati) decodes h264.no more cpu at 100%

100% is almost exactly what i get when i use bd-rb (i know it's for encoding).i got a 8800gtx sli.and 8800 gtx have only pv1,so here's the reason of my question,cause i can test

do new nvidia gpus help encoding in h264 only on nvidia software like badaboom? or programmers can with the help of cuda introducing encoding with gpu?

hope you understood what i meant,cause using technical english words isn't easy,sorry.

can someone with core i7 and with nvidia purevideo 2 tell us the % used by the cpu?

thanx

[turbojet]

aften seemed to hang encoding a 5.1 16 bit lpcm stream I mistakenly choose twice instead of the AC3. It seemed to finish the audio encode but never closed, after closing BD-RB said audio encode failed and the project had to be restarted.

Also with this in the .ini it still encodes DTS to 640 AC3 after the first m2ts video is encoded in movie only mode of a seamless branching title
DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
AC3_640=1
Is BD-RB treating the video correctly by encoding each m2ts separately even though it extracted the audio/subs as one by using the mpls?
I guess I'll find out in about 6 hours otherwise.

[Sharc]

Is BD-RB treating the video correctly by encoding each m2ts separately even though it extracted the audio/subs as one by using the mpls?

I noticed that the individual m2ts of a movie on the original disk may have different average bitrates. By re-encoding them separately the bitrate can be allocated in proportion by BD-RB which may be beneficial to the quality (assuming that the original allocation has been optimized by the studio).

Allocated better then treating it as one file and letting x264 decide? I wouldn't think so and I think it's one of the main reasons jdobbs added bitrate distribution in DVD-RB.

I don't really mind encoding it split up, as there shouldn't be that much of a difference in most cases, not something people could tell at least. But it would be nice if I could benefit from the split files like RB-Farm did. However I do think to get the most efficient encode treating the file as one and letting x264 decide where to spread the bits is better.

I was mainly wondering if this is how it's designed in BD-RB or if it's a bug. After all it could append all the video files then mux audio/sups in. An alternative could be appending directshowource lines in avisynth before encoding.

Hi !

Though BD Rebuilder runs fine, I can't get the disks to play in my Panasonic BD 35...
Eventhough the BD 35 doesn't like VC1 streams remuxed with TSmuxer (the player si frozen...), I never had trouble with AVC video streams.

I tried with "Eagle Eye", in order to fit it on a BD25. It plays ok with PowerDVD on my desktop computer, but I have no picture when playing it with my BD 35. Did I miss something useful ? Thanks !

[turbojet]

Elesias try adding 'FIX_CLPI=0' to ini and restart BD-Rebuilder if it's running and encode again.
This probably won't be needed or even suggested after the next version is released.

[turbojet]

DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
Doesn't seem to do anything as it's always encoded to AC3 anyways, is there still a reason for this jdobbs?

[laserfan]

It seems that some of my muxes work better with "contSPS" disabled in tsMuxeR output, for a Chapter-mark landing/accuracy point-of-view. Since BD-RB seems to build .meta files on-the-fly i.e. I can't manually fiddle with its tsMuxeR .meta files thus output options, might it be possible for testing purposes to add some options e.g. CONTSPS=1, INSERTSEI=1, FPS=1???

If not, does anyone here know how the many individual muxes that eventually become a single BDMV structure are accomplished with tsMuxeR? Or is this some "magic" built-in to BD-RB code itself? :confused:

Is "Stricter AVCHD compliance" recommended for such player, or can I let it unchecked with no consequence ?

[jdobbs]

DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
Doesn't seem to do anything as it's always encoded to AC3 anyways, is there still a reason for this jdobbs? It still reencodes them -- but it doesn't use the AC3, it uses the demuxed original. I do that so that if you change the setting after you have already completed the job, you don't have to start over from scratch. I guess I could take it out, but the time to encode the audio is negligible in the grand scheme of things.

Well, no worry, as I have been one of the strong promoters of applying re-distribution in DVD-RB times:)
Actually - for a full-disk encode - I have been thinking why not apply 1-pass crf encoding (based on a size estimate) to the main movie, and apply 2-pass encoding to the extras to fit/fill the target size. Could save significant encoding time in particular when in future the Extras which one wants to keep can be selected.
Just a thought, not a request.

[jdobbs]

[turbojet]

Actually you may be able to get away with the current encode by using latest fixclpi (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/fixclpi_v23.zip) with a command line like: fixclpi <path to BDMV>.

It should work unchecked not sure about checked if it works. It's only needed for playback on Samsung 25xx and firmware v2.3+ on Samsung 1500 players as far as I know.

Just a thought, not a request.Actually that code is already in BD-RB, but disabled. When I originally started to write it, it was to make a program I could use to do one pass encoding for movie-only discs and kinda' grew into what it is now. The main module is, in fact, still called OP264 (one pass 264).

I disabled it because I could never get the prediction accuracy working well enough... but after BD-RB gets further along I'll start working it again.

Most of what fixclpi does is already built into BD-RB, and it won't notice the difference (or make the change). But, when I release the latest BD-RB this afternoon, you should be able to continue and just do the rebuild without reencoding. You just have to make sure at least one of the M2TS files in WORKFILES is missing in order to force a rebuild of all the parts.

[Sharc]

Great news. I just wish you will find the time some day...

[turbojet]

X-Files 2 didn't rebuild correctly in movie only mode. I'm using mkv intermediate files because of the MPC bug so it may not be the same with .264 files. But I don't think any mkv files can be appended in tsmuxer. I found that appending the already muxed m2ts files is a simple workaround.

[jdobbs]

I've done that one in both FULL and MOVIE-ONLY modes. I'll try it with MKV intermediates set.

[turbojet]

I can check to see if .264 files append in about 30 minutes, it takes awhile to demux and convert DTS-MA to DTS on this one.

.264 files append fine in tsmuxer.

[turbojet]

Could you tell me the aften command line that is used to encode 5.1 lpcm?

I'd like to try to debug this and report it in the aften thread.

Also in movie only mode I see it muxes video to m2ts first then muxes .264/.mkv + audio/sups, any reason except for in seamless branching cases for the double mux?

Also in movie only mode I see it muxes video to m2ts first then muxes .264/.mkv + audio/sups, any reason except for in seamless branching cases for the double mux? If you grab it while it's encoding it is stored in a .BAT file in the WORKFILES directory. The AVS information is fed directly into AFTEN via WAVI.EXE:

"d:\path\to\tools\wavi.exe" "d:\path\to\workfiles\AUD_NNNNN_PPPPP.AVS" - | "d:\path\to\aften.exe" -v 1 -b 448 -readtoeof 1 - "d:\path\to\workfiles\AUD_NNNNN_PPPPP.AC3"

the "-b 448" parameter sets the bitrate at 448Kbs
the "-" for wavi.exe and aften.exe makes the output of wavi feed the input of aften.
the "-v 1" means verbose mode

I've just updated the first post of this thread with a new version of BD Rebuilder (v0.20.01). Below is a summary of the changes:
- Added additional code to help prevent removal
of subpictures from streams detected as menus.
- Adjusted the constant for M2TS multiplexing
overhead. Output size should be closer to that
specified now (prior versions resulted in some
undersizing).
- Added code to prevent certain possibilities of
errors in CorrectMPLS().
- Added code to more definitively recognize menu
items for special processing.
- Updated code to prevent "Quick" encoding of
video segments that are a component of a multi-
part feature.
- Made changes to the method for correcting tables
in the TSMUXER CLPI files. Panasonic players
are hopefully now be able to work without setting
the "FIX_CLPI=0" flag.
- Updated the status of encode so it more accurately
resumes (especially in movie-only -- note: make
sure you've selected that same PlayList).
- Updated nicaudio.dll to v2.02. Don't remember
why I was keeping the old version in the zip file
distribution. But I've been using this one for a
while now.
- Updated X264.EXE to the latest release (r1115).
- Updated TSMUXER.EXE to v1.8.18(b).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Thanks JD, looking forward to running it tonite...

@jdobbs

I notice that the latest update includes "tsMuxeR v.1.8.18".

In light of the following (That I posted in a "tsMuxeR"-specific thread), which may be indicative of yet other unreported problems, you may want to reconsider:Take care when using v.1.8.18 (beta)

In addition to another poster's earlier noted problem when trying to use the "Split" function, I've just come upon another apparent bug in this version - It claimed it couldn't determine the format of an AVC videostream in an M2TS file created by an earlier version of tsMuxeR.

Both earlier versions, 1.8.8 and 1.8.4 had no such difficulty.

Version 1.8.18, however, had no such difficulty with a similar M2TS file that it had created.

It would be good to find out if the problems lie with v.1.8.18 itself, or if they are a consequence of using the v.1.8.8 GUI (Presently there is no v.1.8.18 GUI) with this newer .EXE...

[jdobbs]

Hmmm... well I guess I'll be hearing from everyone soon enough if it has problems... :( I guess I should have tested/read more before deciding to move to that version.

I also overwrote the 1.8.8 exe with the 1.8.18 exe in the TSMuxer 1.8.8 folder, and used the 1.8.8 GUI with that 1.8.18 exe... and every one of the movie only m2ts files I had done previously opens with 1.8.18... as do all of the BD-RB m2ts files on my harddrive...

So I'm not too sure it's even 1.8.18 as being the problem...

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs,
just tried a rebuild of Nights In Rodanthe with the new BD-RB v0.20.01, but I still get the "CorrectMPLS() 00009 5" error. This was on a previous encode with v 0.19.06 that I kept on my hard drive, not a new complete project. If you think it can make a difference, I can redo the whole movie. I just copied over the old BD-RB .exe with the new one. This was a full backup that gives the error, but the movie only was successful.

[drmih]

For information I have had issues where a rip has either reported that each segment was 4 GB and was therefore too big to be done, or the file structure looked okay but rebuilder still said it was too big. I have re-ripped the discs to images and mounted rather than from a file structure on the HDD and they are now fine. This isn't a correction in bd-rebuilder as that still gives the message with the files with the new version but hopefully assists others who have seen this problem.

For those of you who have 'lost' the original disc, you can use imgburn to create an image of the files which also works.

Just to be clear, you got that same error with 0.19.6, right?

It seems to me like you would want to start over again from scratch. Surely any problem from 19.06 would be transferred forward if using a previously processed project as your source for 20.01.

[jdobbs]

Can anyone with a Panasonic standalone player please confirm whether the output from the latest version of BD-RB works correctly on your player (without FIX_CLPI=0 set)? It works a little differently than FixCLPI, and I have no way of testing it.

Yes that is correct.

[Sharc]

Just a note on target size using the latest version:
v0.20.01 / movie only / 2 audio tracks / 2 subtitles.
With custom TARGET_SIZE=4440 it ended up with 3% undersize on a BD5.
Considering that the custom size 4440 includes already a 1% margin, the actual "undersize" is 2% only.

Are you letting BD-RB do it's job alone, or are you massaging some of it? I've done that disc many times in testing (movie-only and full). The audio drift (in movie-only) was corrected several versions ago.

[turbojet]

Letting BD-RB do it's job except for getting around that mkv issue.
- Demuxes DTS core from DTSMA / sups from 00004.mpls (appending the correct order)
- Encodes each m2ts separately
- Muxes each m2ts encode to new m2ts video only
- Errors out when trying to append mkv's
- I changed meta to append m2ts instead and double checked the order, it was correct
- Used TSMuxer with the edited meta.

It doesn't end up very far out of sync but it does end up out of sync. eac3to's report I think is pretty accurate about 300ms out of sync at the end.

[jdobbs]

You can't append the M2TSs, that was what I had to fix in the original audio-sync problem. Apparently TSMUXER has issues working with its own M2TS creations. I had to change it so it muxes the .264 files.

[turbojet]

Do you have any idea how to work around it using mkv intermediate files?

I'm going to try what I mentioned yesterday about appending all the files in avisynth.

[turbojet]

Appending a bunch of directshowsource in an avs is impractical at least for 1080p sources, with Q6600 and 2GB of RAM x264 lasted about a minute before it froze, maybe it's an x264 bug, I'm not sure. But in the meantime I'll just scream (again) in the MPC-HC threads about the m2ts from .264 issue and hopefully someone will hear me.

I could not reproduce my aften hanging bug outside of BD-RB. I just did the problem one again in BD-RB with aften 0.0.8 (dated a month after current BD-RB aften svn version) and it worked. So the two times (all attempted) it didn't work it must have been some thing in between BD-RB and aften.

jdobbs I'll be checking BD30 soon... have you had a chance to look at the 720p sup issue I had?
Turns out that's the only movie I've done that has them falling off the screen, I've seen some other subs not centered though and all seem to be fairly big.

Also my output sizes (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1256045#post1256045) are ending up a little better since v0.20.01

[jdobbs]

The subs seem larger because I'm not resizing the graphics themselves, just repositioning them. The ones I've tested have been positioned correctly, but I honestly haven't spent a lot of time on it.

There are subs that aren't meant to be centered... usually they put them to one side or the other on the screen near the origin (or even above the origin).

Ya I know the type but I'm pretty sure some of these are supposed to be centered because I've seen instances where someone is talking near the middle of the screen, centered subtitles then it goes off to the right a bit for one entry, then back to center again. I'd say it's much more often off to the right maybe 30 pixels then misplaced anywhere else.

I see anydvd directories (ANY!/ANYM) are moved over to the output directory, should they be? Are the calculated into the size?

Also I found out newest cyberlink vc-1 decoder can decode streams wmv9 can't, is there any chance of doing some kind of a failover to cyberlink if wmv9 fails?

I don't think I'll be able to test BD30 today, guy isn't home yet probably tomorrow though.

[jdobbs]

No, the anydvd directories are virtual. I just copy over the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders to my hard drive.

[tyau]

I notice that while encoding a blu-ray using BD-Rebulider, the user is able to change the encoding settings between Good, Better, High Quality, and Highest. Does changing this setting actually take effect during the encoding process?

[turbojet]

If they exist, like if you make image with anydvd, BD-RB copies them over unintentionally.

[jdobbs]

Oh, I see. I always copy discs to my hard drive so I never gave it any thought. Hmm... I guess I should look and see how big they are, I've never paid much attention to them. Maybe I can put some code in to just include the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders.

[turbojet]

This one I recently did has 127 MB of stuff in the anydvd directories, I don't think it was calculated in when judging the size.

Has anyone had issues with playing back rebuilds done using 0.20.01 on mpc-hc?
I usually test the rebuilds before I burn to disc and with v0.20.01 mpc-hc displays just a black screen. Does not matter whether I open the m2ts file in the STREAM folder or use "Open directory" and point to the BDMV folder.

Could it be due to the new 1.8.18 txMuxeR executable?

The 0.20.01 rebuild process runs fine otherwise.

Sorry if this is OT, just wanted to check.

Yeah, you're right. The movie I did last night with BD-RB 0.20.01 doesn't open in MPC-HC... but it plays perfectly on VLC, WMP 11, & Arcsoft TMT.
I'll check to see if it's TSMuxer 1.8.18 that might be causing that... but I think it's more of an issue for MPC-HC than TSMuxer, considering the other players all play it fine.

EDIT: Yep, it's the TSMuxer 1.8.18 outputs that won't play on MPC-HC. I just tested an audio comparison m2ts that I did earlier with 1.8.18 and it does the same... black screen only.

Plays fine in all the other players I mentioned though...

I've had all sorts of problems with the last couple of versions... pixelated playback (in testing from the HDD), x264 crashing like crazy, other things... I'm hesitant to report it as a bug because it was working so well before, and its more than one thing going wrong.

Are Gremlins bugs??? :eek: :)

Versions 0.19.06 and 0.20.01 have been smooth as butter for me... not as fast as that vewrsion of x264 which did haave that crash bug, but still pretty fast enough.

And the 0.20.01 output m2ts not playing in MPC-HC can't really be considered an issue of either BD-RB or TSMuxer, because it plays perfect on VLC, WMP 11, & TMT... as I mentioned.

Hi!

TSMuxer from 0.20.01 gives me black screens on a lot of extras in PowerDVD 7.3 (incl latest updates). Also on the main movie when skipping chapters, it always plays from the beginning, even though the time shows to be where the chapters really are. Strange.

However, I deleted the output folder, copied tsmuxer from 0.19.06 and started a rebuild with 0.20.01.

That fixed the problem.

So, IMO the new tsmuxer has a serious problem.

Not sure how it is TSMuxer as having a 'serious problem', when they all play perfectly with TMT, VLC, & even WMP 11...
I could understand if a BD-9 or BD-25 won't play on most Bluray players or the PS3, but that's more than likely not the case.

If JD starts hearing about playback issues on the standalone players or PS3s, then OK.

Just my .02 cents

[Chefkoch_ico]

PowerDVD is the standard BluRay player on PCs. So when there are issues with it, its serious.

Previously, all players were working, now 2 are not. So one can conclude that others also will not work correctly.

At least, the easy fix for me is to use the old tsmuxer, but I am trying the newest version 0.18.19 in a few hours (only remux).

I had PowerDVD, but deleted it off my system because of it's just isn't that great of a Bluray playback software, IMHO...

My 0.20.01 encoded BD-9 plays perfect on my Sony BDP-BX1, haven't had a chance to test it on a PS3 yet, but am confident it will play on it without issues as well.

You might want to just confirm this isn't a codec issue. I've had problems in the past with software players where say for example the main feature would play and the extras would not. This is because extras are often encoded with different codec that was playing up on my setup.

You say when it was rebuilt with .20.01 it worked fine. Are you sure this was immediately afterwards. Just to make sure :)

[MikeyBK]

Why are you referring to things he hasn't questioned as bugs? He said PowerDVD isn't working with latest release what has that got to do with your PS3\BDP-BX1. We're trying to correct problems here. If you want to just kiss booty go in another thread. PowerDVd is the defacto standard for players on the PC. Whether you like it or not really isn't the discussion here.


Dude, I'm gonna ask you to lighten up.

smnckl posted that the newly encoded files with BD-RB 0.20.01 doesn't open with MPC-HC, and subsequently blamed TSMuxer as the problem. I merely replied that though it doesn't open with MPC-HC, it does with VLC, TMT, & WMP 11.

That's when Chefkoch_ico stated that he was having similar issues with PowerDVD, and went as far as replacing the version of TSMuxer with the EXE from BD-RB 0.19.06.

That's when I stated that it does open with the other playback software I mentioned, and also voiced my dislike of PowerDVD.

So in essence they are trying to say that it may be a bug with BD-RB 0.20.01 and the TSMuxer version . I'm just saying that the burned discs plays fine for me on my BD player, and hadn't yet tested to see if the BD-9 plays on the PS3 yet.

What part of that isn't related to smnckl's original possible bug??

And JD has already asked that people stop using other versions of included EXEs to help him fix the issues unilaterally.

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi.

PowerDVD uses always its own codecs, so no problem there.

And yes, I am sure its the same encodings, encode and build = 24 hrs, rebuild only 10 minutes.

Answer to

"Can anyone with a Panasonic standalone player please confirm whether the output from the latest version of BD-RB works correctly on your player (without FIX_CLPI=0 set)? It works a little differently than FixCLPI, and I have no way of testing it.)

I have tested a couple with 20.01 on a Panasonic DMP-BD55 and no problems. I am not sure about FIX_CLPI=0 I just used the default settings and it worked fine.Great. The default is "1", which is what I wanted to hear.

[jdobbs]

I've posted a link to an updated version of BD Rebuilder (v0.20.02). The changes are:
- Made additional change to the CLPI "fix" code
to provide greater compatibility across more
players.
- Regressed the version of TSMUXER included to
the same one released with v0.19.6. Apparently
the new one introduces issues.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I also haven't experienced issues with PowerDVD 8 on about 15 encodes I've done so far with v0.20.01.
I'm not saying you guys are wrong I just think it goes a lot deeper then it being tsmuxer to blame, could the people having issues post MPC-HC build, output method and decoder?

I Have To Agree I Realise You Wanted To Wait To Tackle The Audio Till The Last Moment But Here In Australia (ALMOST) Every Blu-Ray Being Released Now The ONLY English Track Is DTS-HD Master 7.1 And At Present Only The Foreign Tracks Are Standard Surround... It May Not Exactly Be A Bug But I Would Like To Ask If We Could Just Mux The Original Audio Stream To The Newly Encoded Video Stream Would That Really Create Many Problems?? At The Least I Would Ask That Another Method Of Encoding Be Looked At So We Aussies Can Do Some New Movies With English Sound... And Always :thanks: For The Great Program!

[Chefkoch_ico]

I did some testing with tsmuxer:
Tested with BD-RB 0.20.01 and PowerDVD 7.3 and 8.0
1.8.4 -> OK
1.8.18 -> NOK
1.8.19 -> NOK

Results are Black Screen on most files and bad chapter skipping on the files, that are not black screen.

jdobbs I see from changelog it doesn't look like it but I want to make sure. Is there any reason to check sizing in v0.20.02 over v0.20.01? No. This update was mainly because of a correction I put in the fixclpi portion and to back TSMUXER to the older version (because of the reports I've receive here and from other sources, it is obvious I didn't do enough testing before that change). I also made some other minor changes, but nothing that would affect sizing.

I have, though, done quite a bit of testing with muxing/sizing in the past few days -- and I have to tell you that whoever has given you the impression that there is consistency in this process is misinformed. Yes, X264 is pretty accurate in its sizing. But, I have some sources that use as little as 4.5% overhead when muxed, and others (usually smaller) that hit as high as 12.5%. I'm sure there's a magic formula out there somewhere, but it's not something I've been able to put my arms around.

[jdobbs]

@All

Please stop asking about keeping original audio. How many posts does it take? I've heard you, I've answered you, I get the point, I'll get it done. End of story. It's not as simple as you all would imply, and some of it requres a TSMUXER version that has other issues. It also makes it harder for me to debug the basic portions of BD-RB, which where I am concentrating right now. All for keeping audio streams that in many cases aren't even supported by the most popular players.

Bottom line: Be patient. Continually pinging me about it isn't going to raise its priority, it's just getting me annoyed.

[turbojet]

bobrap: could you cut 5-10 seconds or so of the m2ts and upload to a place like sendspace (http://www.sendspace.com/)

jdobbs: Panasonic BD30 played BD-RB v0.20.01 movie only without fix_clpi=0 just fine.

I've had that happen before. What I did was change the location of the source file folder, or rename it and then it usually reads the correct file size.

[jdobbs]

I've had that happen before. What I did was change the location of the source file folder, or rename it and then it usually reads the correct file size. That's weird. BD-RB scans the source directory to get the size.

Any way someone could give me an example of a path that causes the sizing issue? Also, please make sure there aren't any other files in the path. BD-RB assumes everything under the source path is a part of the BD, not just the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders. I use NTFS in my sources on HD, I assume others are keeping with NTFS (except, of course, direct reads from the disc). I'm trying to decide whether limiting myself to those two folders would result in any other issues. When I copy to HD that's all I transfer.

[Elesias]

Ok.

I always use "x264 encoder" (FFMPEG is greyed out), "Highest Quality", and "Target BD25".
I choose "Movie only backup" with no alternate or subtitles options.

In "Setup", I check "Stricter AVCHD Compliance for movie only" & Trellis Algorithm.

I burn either with Nero or ImgBurn, UDF 2.50, the BDMV & CERTIFICATE folders.
The movie seems to start fine, but I get only sound : no picture at all with my BD-35 (euro firmware 1.3)

When I try to read the M2TS with Windows Media Player, everything works perfectly, sound and picture alike. Did I miss something ?

[jdobbs]

What version are you using. Make sure it is v0.20.2, because there was apparently some issue introduced in v0.20.1 with the new TSMUXER. I've backed into the older TSMUXER with the latest one.

[drmih]

For information I have had issues where a rip has either reported that each segment was 4 GB and was therefore too big to be done, or the file structure looked okay but rebuilder still said it was too big. I have re-ripped the discs to images and mounted rather than from a file structure on the HDD and they are now fine. This isn't a correction in bd-rebuilder as that still gives the message with the files with the new version but hopefully assists others who have seen this problem.

For those of you who have 'lost' the original disc, you can use imgburn to create an image of the files which also works.

Just a reiteration from an earlier post I made regarding the issue of the size being wrongly reported.

[jdobbs]

If you can repeat the values being shown wrong, add this to the "[Options]" area of the INI (config) file:

SPECIAL_DEBUG_FILE=d:\debugfile.txt

Replace the file name with whatever you think works for you. This will record all the files/sizes it finds in the source path and save them into that file. Just run BD-RB and point to the source. Then exit. Don't forget to remove the option when you're done.

Then please send the file to me (dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com) so I can see why it is getting such goofy values.

When I tried to do a full backup the program returned a size of 146GB and the error message: Target is too small to continue. I checked my directory where the files where stored and noticed the length of the directory path was greater that 48 characters long. I renamed the directory to less than 12 characters and then tried again. This time I got the correct computed disk size and could then proceed.

Ahh... thanks for the input. That may be the clue I'm looking for. I think my current "open" calls have a maximum path length of 128 characters. But I thought I'd get an error rather than bad data. I'll do some checking.

Ok. I'm trying it again with your settings.

[datman]

How long did you let it run? The percent "0%" doesn't seem to work in my observation -- but I've never seen it hang... sometimes these encodes can take a while.

The ones I'm referring to ran all the way to the end of the 2nd pass. As I said a few would continue after the error screen was closed. The ones that wouldn't continue would restart a previous project and the error would cycle over again.

The image might be from one of the restarted projects with what looked to me the same error but the numbers said 0% that's just a guess

[datman]

I was trying “Personal Effects” and twice it got to the end of phase 1 and tsmuxer failed. I tried to run the movie directly in tsmuxer and there were a bunch of errors. Tsremux 0212 seemed to work with no errors. I am running that file right now in 20.02

I've been using BD Rebuilder for a month or so now and it works beautifully, and a heck of a lot quicker than the last program I was using.

The only problem is with one disc. I've been told it's one of the ones that is not yet able to be shrunk down using any known methods. So I just put it aside and try each new version of BD Rebuilder to see if it'll work yet. With this build, V0.20.02, I think there has been some progress as I have gotten a bit farther than I have before with it.

The disc in particular is Wrestlemania 24 (either disc of the 2 disc set).

According to BD Rebuilder it is VC-1, 1080i, 29.97fps with AC3 Multichannel sound.

Here is the bd-rebuilder.log file;

This is the lastcmd.txt file;
"C:\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "C:\WORKING\WORKFILES\VID_00064.AVS" --bitrate 3921 --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --vbv-bufsize 14500 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --vbv-maxrate 17500 --filter 0,0 --subme 2 --me dia --bframes 3 --direct auto --weightb --partitions none --trellis 0 --analyse none --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --stats "C:\WORKING\WORKFILES\VID_00064.AVS.264.stats" --pass 1 --output NUL

When run from the command prompt I get the following;

avis [info]: 1920x1080 @ 29.97 fps (149451 frames)
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2 SSE3 cached64

Then it drops back to a C:\ prompt.

I have ffdshow v.2639 installed, I have tried it with VC-1 on all 3 settings (disabled/libavcodec/wmv9) all give the same error.

At least this time it actually tried to run.

Just hoping this will help some. :thanks:

this looks like I have a bad disc. or anydvd needs an update

Hi!

The following two statements appear to be contradictory:Tsremux 0212 seemed to work with no errors.and

What error screen?

sorry jdobbs I haven't been taking notes. I can see I'm not helping much I'll work on my documentation :stupid:

on BD25 lsoss?

yes on bd25

[turbojet]

jdobbs, 0xdeadbeef, the developer of BDSup2Sub was able to fix the msialigned subs problem I first reported in this thread.

From BDSup2Sub 1.3 changelog (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1257726#post1257726)
- x/y ofs from start PCS is used instead of that from the window definition (fixes most misaligned subtitles)

Could you look into something like this to fix the misalignment?
I'm more then welcome to test it and you have a sup from this thread I posted yesterday that has many problems.
Also any chance to resize the sups down 1.5x (1920/1280 = 1080/720) ?

[Furiousflea]

sorry jdobbs I haven't been taking notes. I can see I'm not helping much I'll work on my documentation :stupid:

Hi there, I'm not sure if english is your first language, I expect not. I'm not knocking you but it might be a good idea to type out a rough draft of exactly what you want to say. Giving as much information as clearly as possible. Will help save time for you and be easier to understand what is wrong exactly. Just for example, those 3 windows you posted with "0%" were just the window for encoding your AC3 audio, not an error.

Please try and be completely certain it's not something on your computer causing the problem before posting. Because I get the feeling that the problem is more than likely not a bug but like you say, a bad rip or whatever. Just try and be sure first as you can be first :)

Sorry if that sounds patronising.

Wall E - UK Edition

I downloaded v0.20.02 still the same problem.

When I select "Full Backup", the process starts without any problems with file 0000:

... (and so forth, works like a charm)

When I select "Movie Only" it fails at the exact same file with:

Try dragging the m2ts in question onto GraphEdit or GraphStudio and see what you get, and whether it will play cleanly. In fact, does it play on any player you might have on your PC?

This has been discussed before as a problem (interlaced VC-1)

I'm getting the same with '300' (UK version) when running full disc to BD25. x264 crashes with the error 'x264.exe has stopped working'. More specifically, it stops working a little way into encoding the first 1080i VC-1 steam.

All 1080p or 480i streams are ok.

Here's the lastcmd text...

"C:\Users\####\Desktop\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "C:\USERS\####\DESKTOP\NEW FOLDER\WORKFILES\VID_00025.AVS" --crf 24 --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --vbv-bufsize 25000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --vbv-maxrate 35000 --bframes 3 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --stats "C:\USERS\####\DESKTOP\NEW FOLDER\WORKFILES\VID_00025.AVS.264.stats" --pass 1 --output "C:\USERS\####\DESKTOP\NEW FOLDER\WORKFILES\VID_00025.AVS.264"


Ran the lastcmd from CMD however no other info was given when x264 stops working.

Checked Vista's event logs and part of the application error was 'faulting module wmvdecod.dll'.

With ffdshow VC-1 settings set to 'disabled' and 'wmv9', x264 stops working.

If ffdshow VC-1 is set to 'libavcodec' i get the same as mmace, with the BD_Rebuilder speed running between 0.05x and 0.07x speeds!

The stream plays ok in PowerDVD 8. When played in Windows Media Player, the image keeps scambling/blocking.

I agree with laserfan that it's not a x264 issue, rather a decoding issue.

Checked the M2TS file in GraphEdit and the video/subtitles are linking to ffdshow video decoder, with the audio linking to ffdshow audio decoder.

@jdobbs
@dark shikari

Is there any more info i can give you that may be of help?

This would accurately describe what I'm experiencing on several movies... though I haven't connected it to a problem with wmvdecod.dll. I did experience x264.exe stopping when it ran into a 1080i VC-1 file while copying The Express and Burn After Reading.
Most of my output lately has been scrabled/blocked... after a very long run of successful copies. I'm not sure what might have changed. I don't have PowerDVD installed, but I get poor results when viewing with TotalMediaTheatre and WMP11... or from a disc burned with ImgBurn.

[Furiousflea]

READ.....:)

All the problems with 1080i VC1 streams discussed in last few posts are NORMAL. The reason you are getting blocky output\x264 crashing is because the FREE decoders DO NOT support hybrid interlaced VC1 streams.

The ONLY decoder that seems to support them properly is a PAID one by neuron2.

HOWEVER...

duh duh duhhhhh

There is a work around, by setting the minimum VTS for encoding by BD-Rebuilder you can get it to NOT encode these streams and just copy them as is to the backup you are using. Using the minimum VTS option in the ini - Any VTS under a certain size will not be compressed but just direct stream copied into your backup.

Obviously there are limitations here so if you backing up to anything smaller than BD25 don't bother.

Obviously there are limitations here so if you backing up to anything smaller than BD25 don't bother.

Hey Furiousflea,

Cheers for the info and work around. Should have figured that one myself! :)

ive got a ps3 and panasonic bd35, if i just back up movie only will work on panasonic great for some reason ps3 stopped playing backups for first time in two years hence why i bought bd35 i want to back up the whole disk to bd25 im using traxdata tried the FIX_CLPI=0 in the ini file and still wont play full disk back ups using latest version, im using verbatims traxdata sony and getting same result which is it looks like its going to play then just says stop. these disk are playing fine on my pc which is weird anyone have any ideas or is it me lol

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me. Yesterday I ripped Before The Devil Knows I'm Dead with AnyDVD HD. I played the movie .m2ts in MPC and it played perfectly.

I then set up BD Rebuilder (latest version) to do a movie-only rebuild with a target size of DVD-9, and 640kbps AC3 audio. I left that overnight, and by the time I had got back home from work today it had finished. However, playing the .m2ts file in MPC shows a terrific picture but unfortunately no sound. If I check the properties in MPC it shows the video information but no sound information. If I load the .m2ts file in tsMuxer it shows both the video and sound stream. I tried loading the movie into MakeMKV and it fails to load, saying 'invalid mux'.

Does anyone have any idea whats gone on here? This is the 2nd time I've used BD-Rebuilder. The first time I got no picture and no sound, so I guess I've made some progress lol.

What I don't understand is I've used Ripbot264 successfully to rebuild to DVD-9, so what could be the problem with BD-Rebuilder?

[Elesias]

What version are you using. Make sure it is v0.20.2, because there was apparently some issue introduced in v0.20.1 with the new TSMUXER. I've backed into the older TSMUXER with the latest one.

Great news : tried the lastest version with "Street Kings", and everything runs just fine on my BD 35 player.

Great job !

[jdobbs]

jdobbs, 0xdeadbeef, the developer of BDSup2Sub was able to fix the msialigned subs problem I first reported in this thread.

From BDSup2Sub 1.3 changelog (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1257726#post1257726)
- x/y ofs from start PCS is used instead of that from the window definition (fixes most misaligned subtitles)

Could you look into something like this to fix the misalignment?
I'm more then welcome to test it and you have a sup from this thread I posted yesterday that has many problems.
Also any chance to resize the sups down 1.5x (1920/1280 = 1080/720) ? I'll look at it. I also reposition them based upon the center of the window definition. Most of the time the window is only around the text -- but in one of the examples you showed it looks like that's not always the case.

I haven't even put together a routine to decode the RLE picture yet (I'd love it if someone had an algorithm they'd share) -- so it might be a while before I resize the picture. If I resized them, though, it would eliminate the misalignment... as I could use the top/left corner as the point of reference instead of the middle of the picture.

READ.....:)

All the problems with 1080i VC1 streams discussed in last few posts are NORMAL.Perhaps in your peculiar "alternate universe"! :rolleyes:

The reason you are getting blocky output\x264 crashing is because the FREE decoders DO NOT support hybrid interlaced VC1 streams.They don't have to be "hybrid", they only have to be I/L VC-1.

The ONLY decoder that seems to support them properly is a PAID one by neuron2.Perhaps, but a group of guys on this board have figured-out (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144625)how to cobble together the right filters to make these work. Unfortunately I am not among them (tho I do have neuron2's excellent nvidia tools).

HOWEVER... duh duh duhhhhh There is a work around, by setting the minimum VTS for encoding by BD-Rebuilder you can get it to NOT encode these...Well, duh, your workaround absolutely sucks! :p Particularly from the POV that "how do you know they're I/L VC-1s that are causing the problem in the first place? This is gonna drive newbies crazy.

I have ID'ed I/L VC-1s and separately encoded them using neuron2's tools, but I wonder how many people here are experiencing crashing BD-RB due to this problem.

jdobbs is, I'm sure, lying awake nights trying to figure-out some of the issues people are having--this is an ugly one but probably worth pursuing (because the problems tend to be buried in the bowels of the discs ie. the extras).

[unixman2]

Sorry, not a bug but I wanted others to see this and hope they follow my lead.

Thanks very much for your efforts in providing us such a great utility for backing up our BD's. Yes, these are just words, but today I put my money where my mouth is and sent you a donation because I've been using BD-Rebuilder with great success! It's the right thing to do because I have no problem paying for something that provides me value.

Keep up the good work.

[GaPony]

It seems the whole point of the beta is to find the strengths and weaknesses of the program and work on those weaknesses. I, for one, wasn't complaining that x264 was crashing. I was hoping that there was some reason for it. That question has been answered, and I appreciate it. I was beginning to think I had seriously screwed something up after so many successfull copies. :)

While I would like to get my backups completed, I'm also quite willing to wait for revision after revision of BD-Rebuilder and keep making several copies of whatever movies I have that benefits the beta program.

What I don't want is to endup having to cobble together a bunch of different apps to get a Blu-Ray movie backed up. I could already do that for the most part. If there is an encoder/decoder that works with these tempermental files, free or otherwise, I'd appreciate a post or PM that would help me find it, especially if its geared toward the nVidia cards that may take advantage of CUDA... but thats another area of interest.

[liquidskin76]

Well, duh, your workaround absolutely sucks!

The problem exists right now so any work around will do if it means we can keep beta testing BD Rebuilder!! :rolleyes:

[datman]

Ok I started this project last night. I don’t remember exactly but there was some kind of an error but the encode resumed. When I checked it in the morning it was stalled no errors just very very slow the cpu was not active then it would turn on for a minute and back off. Did that for a while so I stopped it.

As with many of my attempts I was working off a preprocessed archive not the disc. If I am the only one have this failure to reencode the audio error then I will stop doing it and from now on work off a unprotected image. Why would so many work and a few not?

This also could be a Windows 7 error.

I used the unfinished project to help me in set limits for overclocking my cpu. That worked great strait to 2nd pass, all 4 cores 100%.

When I resumed the project it ran very slow, slowest with this cpu to date, settled down to .27 for the whole project. As with all the other errors I’ve had lately at the end of the 2nd pass it fails

This is all the information I know of

But it's a workaround that is useful for quite a few problem discs if backing up to BD25 since extras *usually* aren't many GB is size.

It's strange you saying (and not a criticism!) that this affects all 1080i sources and not the hybrid type with mixed content. As I made a similar post but without the accussational undertones as yours a week or two ago and was told that there was no problem with 1080i sources that weren't a hybrid mix.

How about we stick on topic and try and be helpful, if you have a better solution to what I have posted by all means go for it. I would also love to hear it. And again I'm not trying to wind you up or promote a rude response but some hard answers.

I can only suggest that you try the original Bluray ripped to your hard drive with the latest version of AnyDVD HD and not from your archive. Since you've experienced this error on numerous discs and we haven't seen many (any?) other reports of the encoder just stalling.

1. Check your CPU isn't overheating with a temperature monitor.
2. Run a memory test application like "Super Pi"
3. Try a freshly ripped source and run it through EAC3To with one of the GUIs to see if it can load it properly (also extracting the audio stream to see if there are any errors).

In any case I would definately do a fresh rip to begin with

[Furiousflea]

The problem exists right now so any work around will do if it means we can keep beta testing BD Rebuilder!! :rolleyes:

Thank you, that's the whole point and I'm pleased someone saw it.

[turbojet]

Thanks jdobbs I feel I've given you some content to work with to keep you busy. Beyond the playback of full backups in a lot of players (reason unknown?) this pesky decoder issue (out of your control) and the random issue like nights in rodanthe, I think these are the size and subs resize are the biggest issues currently.

Cyerblink is a workaround to the VC1 interlaced+progressive issue but I have seen cyberlink 'freeze' on some streams too. It will be decoding fine and then all of a sudden will decode the same frame over and over again until the stream ends. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Arsoft I haven't had a chance to test yet, maybe thats a better workaround.

That way the WMV11 codec gets used. I have done this -- and only one disc has failed (BAND OF BROTHERS) to encode because of VC-1 hybrid video, and my guess is I've run a lot more of these than most people. I got around that one (temporarily) by using the minimum sizing for BD-25 output.

I'll eventually fix the hybrid problem -- but let's not overreact and suddenly decide the problem includes ALL VC-1 interlaced sources. It does not. If someone hits a problem -- first make sure the right codec (WMV11) is in use. The odds that you're hitting a hybrid source is very low (at least from my experience).

@jdobbs

Just to let you know...

I'm running Vista which has WMV11 installed as default. I tried it with the FFDSHOW VC-1 setting disabled (so the WMV11 codec is used), however get the same problem on the 2 discs (300 and Mamma Mia - UK versions) that i have that contain 1080i VC-1 streams.

On another note, if i play the 1080i VC-1 streams through WMV11 with the FFDSHOW VC-1 settings disabled, the image keeps scambling.

I'll use the work around for now.

Thanks

Has anyone successfully encoded Enchanted in movie only mode? I encoded it but it apparently has many m2ts files and it gathers some it obviously shouldn't, because when you play it back you get the proper audio but the video is showing things like the interactive pop-up trivia track every now and then, and I cannot seem to find a way to get just the movie complete without the trivia track pop-ups.

As for "hybrid 1080i" I've had problems with 1080i VC-1 whether hybrid or not, regardless of what you may have been told elsewhere here.

I think we should remember to recommend first that people install Windows Media Player 11 and disable FFDSHOW's VC-1 support. That way the WMV11 codec gets used.

The odds that you're hitting a hybrid source is very low (at least from my experience).Well, I for one can't get WMV11 to work no-way-no-how, and I've struggled with this on two computers, both updated to latest (though I've yet to update to DirectX from Nov08, last thing I can think to try). Maybe the VC-1s I've had trouble with are unique in some fashion that I've been unable to recognize, but I don't believe they are hybrid. OTTOMH I can think of the six extras from Mamma Mia--I'll try to remember the other place I encountered it (again, an extra) so maybe someone here can confirm-or-deny.

My copy of mamma mia crashes on the extras also at the 1080i VC1 encoding part.

EDIT - This is using wmv11 decoder, however most 1080i stuff in VC1 is fine. Could just be that you got unlucky and your discs all have the hybrid VC1....Depends how many we're talking tho. I doubt you'd be so unlucky as to have 10 of 10 of your discs for example etc.

:thanks:

Been thinking about Malin Akerman in that very tight suit from the Watchmen movie. Not sure if that's any help to anyone though!!! :devil:

LOL, cheers!

no, any thoughts on my last post

:p

[datman]

yep from now on that's what I'm going to do. I thought I was saving steps. I'm going to do Erin Brochovich today.

and from now on I will only post issues off fresh rips

I got it out to rip and I see it's an HD dvd I converted. That must be my problem. Has anyone successfully encoded a convrted HD dvd? I don't want to waste my time.

Come on now, :eek: I have written a guide on converting HD DVD -> Bluray in the thread marked "BACKUP guide..."

Should help you out abit, note though that you can't keep menus when you convert but you can keep all audio streams\subs etc.

punisher12: Have you tried on a different BD or is stargate the only one that can't extract audio/subs?

Thanx, yes tried ironman, indiana jones and several others to no avail, i'm stumped.

[turbojet]

Sounds like a setup problem or BD_Rebuilder\tools\tsmuxer.exe missing, can you check to see if this file exists?
If it does, can you try downloading BD-RB and put it in a fresh directory and without changing any settings except loading in the source and working?
If still no luck can you paste your the AUD_<M2TS>.meta file?

My copy of mamma mia crashes on the extras also at the 1080i VC1 encoding part.

EDIT - This is using wmv11 decoder, however most 1080i stuff in VC1 is fine. Could just be that you got unlucky and your discs all have the hybrid VC1...No, I don't do much of this (backups) and indeed slapped Mamma Mia on just to test-out BD-RB, since it has a lot of interesting extras, including a "singalong" track which BTW doesn't appear back-uppable at all.

According to neuron2's tools, there ain't nothin' "hybrid" about these clips, they are just interlaced VC-1. How to ID a hybrid clip--must be a better way than "something that crashes my PC"!

EDIT: OK I loaded-up one of those nasty extras (00289.m2ts) from Mamma Mia! and used neuron2's tool to go step-by-step thru the fields, and it is indeed more odd than anything I've seen before. This clip starts with ABBA concert footage, most likely video camera footage because every field is different (although many are blended--very ugly) and then it cuts to location footage of the cast & crew, which is in a 2,2,2... cadence (same field twice) so was maybe shot with a high-def video camera or something; I dunno but it doesn't seem to be film. Also eac3to calls it "60i /1.001" while MediaInfo says 29.97 so confusion reigns. IIRC in BD-RB the decoder works for a bit before crashing (looks like a x264 error but is clearly decoder) so it must be the 2:2 material it's crashing on, a few seconds into the clip.

[Elesias]

Everything works fine now, however I'm a little bit surprised by the final disk space :
Into the Wild : 42.6 Go, and after the process, only 12.8 Go. It seems too low, even though I keep only one audio track.

[Lif3styl3]

Hi Jdobbs,

at first nice app,.... ;-)

So, in my case my panasonic bd-55 doesn't play any remastered movie which was made with bd rebuilder when the player is using 24p playback mode, but after deactivate 24p everything is fine.

Any ideas ?

[turbojet]

Lif3styl3 I think I remember someone else mention this awhile back and I don't recall a workaround for it. It was before BD-RB came out and I think every compatible encoded video suffers from it.

Perhaps it should be mentioned in the first post of the list of compatible players thread but I'm not sure which Panasonic models are affected besides the BD55. I will check if Panasonic BD30 has the issue.

I can send files, if needed. Costed me alot of time to encode those nasty extras, so I hope it was not a waste of time.

Bye

[Elesias]

Everything works fine now, however I'm a little bit surprised by the final disk space :
Into the Wild : 42.6 Go, and after the process, only 12.8 Go. It seems too low, even though I keep only one audio track.

I was wondering : is the bitrate accurately determined to use all the space on a BD 25, and thus keep the highest quality possible ?

[Furiousflea]

I was wondering : is the bitrate accurately determined to use all the space on a BD 25, and thus keep the highest quality possible ?

Yes, it should around BD25 if that's what you've got it set at. (22.5-23.5GB roughly). If it's not hitting that, it could be because you've saturated the quality level as much as is possible and x264 doesn't know what to do with the extra bitrate and isn't needed.

This would make sense on a movie only encode with only one audio stream. Your original Bluray may well be 40GB+ in size but of that 40GB only around half of it will usually be the main move and one audio track, often much less. Couple that with x264 being a very efficient codec and it could be that you've just topped out.

^ my guess anyway ;)

EDIT - What size is the main move before encoding anyway? How many audio tracks are in it to start with and at what quality? This is really obvious information you should be handing over if you want help.

[Furiousflea]

No, I don't do much of this (backups) and indeed slapped Mamma Mia on just to test-out BD-RB, since it has a lot of interesting extras, including a "singalong" track which BTW doesn't appear back-uppable at all.

According to neuron2's tools, there ain't nothin' "hybrid" about these clips, they are just interlaced VC-1. How to ID a hybrid clip--must be a better way than "something that crashes my PC"!

EDIT: OK I loaded-up one of those nasty extras (00289.m2ts) from Mamma Mia! and used neuron2's tool to go step-by-step thru the fields, and it is indeed more odd than anything I've seen before. This clip starts with ABBA concert footage, most likely video camera footage because every field is different (although many are blended--very ugly) and then it cuts to location footage of the cast & crew, which is in a 2,2,2... cadence (same field twice) so was maybe shot with a high-def video camera or something; I dunno but it doesn't seem to be film. Also eac3to calls it "60i /1.001" while MediaInfo says 29.97 so confusion reigns. IIRC in BD-RB the decoder works for a bit before crashing (looks like a x264 error but is clearly decoder) so it must be the 2:2 material it's crashing on, a few seconds into the clip.

The sing along track I think is a picture in picture track which BD-Rebuilder currently doesn't handle and just ignores completely.

[Custom_VCD]

I've had an aften audio encoding error on Batman, Dances with Wolves and now Monsters Ball, Windows 7 64 bit, got a feeling the latter is the problem

[robinthehood]

Sorry if this has already been answered but this thread is getting difficult to read through now, i've just done passion of christ film only to bd-25, somehow (i was tired) lol, i managed to pick the english descriptive audio for blind people! instead of the original aramaic track, is there anyway i can rebuild this project with the correct aramaic audio track & the already encoded workfiles or will i have to start over again?

[rainfellow]

Sorry for not responding sooner, I work 7 days a week so time is NOT something I have "free".

I ran the first m2ts file through GraphStudio to see how it was being decoded. I get the following;

0064.m2ts to video: WMVideo Decoder DMO (Version 11.0.5721.5145) and to audio: AC3Filter.

I cannot watch this in anything BUT PowerDVD. in WMP11 it shows the first frame of the file, and nothing after that, no crashes or anything.

Anyway, I'm just letting JD know what my experience with the particular movie is. Not expecting any "eureka" moments or a "do this, do that" note on how to get it to work. Just sending as much info as possible to help the beta along as best as possible.

JD keep up the GREAT work!! I'm still a fan of DVD Rebuilder and I know I'll totally LOVE BD Rebuilder once you get it completed. For the most part, it's done, just need to get rid of thoes bugs.... called Orkin yet?? :p

I do hope this helps some.

Anyone has found solution to backup Wall-E ? Jdobbs hasn't posted yet his results or I missed it ?

Hi,

in my case it was enough to deactivate the 24p function of my blu ray player, but there must be a solution to play a reencoded blu ray in bd-55

[rmeyers]

i have found a bug. its on the extended version of King Kong. i dont think anyone has mentioned it yet.

using the latest version, 0.20.02, the extended version doesn't play. at all. might be some sort of rebuilding/bd-structure mishap. theatrical version plays perfectly, as does bd-live. the extended version plays on the orignal rip on my hdd, so do the picture-in-picture extras. but in the bd-rb rip, these dont work. the counter goes to 0:00:00 and stays there. i am playing the bd .iso files in the latest powerdvd 8.

everything on the original rip is progressive VC-1. it is a multiple file playlist. not sure what else i can provide. here are my files. fyi, i did a fast encode, and i had to abort it and resume it.

The problem is that you decided to continue even though you had a reported sizing issue. So the real question is what caused the sizing issue.

[rmeyers]

FYI. Slysoft just updated AnyDVD, and one of the fixes is:

Fix (Blu-ray): Playback issues with Panasonic Blu-ray players

so i wonder if re-ripping the discs would fix the panny problem.


also there is a new version of x264. its supposed to improve speeds drastically.


and lastly... is ENCODE_QUALITY=5 the fastest setting that BD-RB can do? i just like doing the same disc a few time with different settings for testing.

[cyberdoggy]

Has anyone successfully encoded Enchanted in movie only mode? I encoded it but it apparently has many m2ts files and it gathers some it obviously shouldn't, because when you play it back you get the proper audio but the video is showing things like the interactive pop-up trivia track every now and then, and I cannot seem to find a way to get just the movie complete without the trivia track pop-ups.

Choose a different Playlist from thte alternates (MODE menu).

I'm going to have to find out a better way to choose the main feature than just "the largest" -- I'm just not sure how yet.

Thanks jdobbs that worked fine for video quality A+++ but audio seems to be slightly out of synch throughout movie I suppose from there being multiple m2ts files that were gathered together. I had noticed small blips where each mt2s files were joined and with each one the audio got more out of synch. I am playing on a Panasonic BD30 if that means anything.

[ruva]

ive backed up Wall-E no probs whatsoever plays back on ps3 and Panasonic BD35 standalone fine full backup and movie only

I cannot, I always get the "Failed to retrieve audio, aborted" error, on every alternative playlist I try to work with...How did you do that ?

There are several posts on this but to save you looking it appears to be the path length. Just create a top folder called 'spider3' for instance and then move the BMDV and Certificate under it.

[jdobbs]

I fixed that. I'll release a new version today.

[jdobbs]

I've posted a new release of BD-Rebuilder on the first page of this thread. Changes are:
- Corrected an error in which the determined total
source size can be distorted. This can result
in undersizing.
- Updated the SETUP dialog follow-on action so the
stream display, settings and tables are updated
following a save. In previous versions the INI
data wasn't being reset based on saved settings.
This may be the cause of many of the "Failed to
rebuild BD file(s)" error caused by a mismatch
between different phases of BD-RB.
- Added code that saves audio/sub configuration at
demux and resets it accordingly at remux.
- Changed default MIN_M2TS_SIZE to default to 100MB
for BD-25 encodes to save time. You can change
the the value with MIN_M2TS_SIZE=nnnn. This has
no effect on BD-5 and BD-9 encodes. It will also
not affect M2TS files that are a part of the main
MPLS>
- INI Editor now reloads INI when saved (you no
longer have to exit/reenter for changes to take
effect).
- Added a Custom Target Size option to the
SETTINGS/OPTIONS menu. You can set the value by
adding CUSTOM_TARGET_SIZE=nnnn to the "[Options]"
area of the config (INI) file.
- Updated X264.EXE to the latest release (r1123).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
Note: I've noticed there are issues with M2TSs that have secondary video/audio streams for full backups. Luckily these are rare. I should have that corrected by the next release. In the meantime, I have at least stopped the "crashing" on them.

[Elesias]

Good job, thanks !

[Discoboy]

@jdobbs,

Have been testing out BD Rebuilder on a number of movies after the last few weeks and at the same time keeping up-to-date with the latest version of releases. But I find that during playback on both a Panasonic BD30 and BD35 SAP I see very very slight video “stuttering” and I mean very slight but it is noticeable particularly if you have a scene with what should be constant moment such as a fan rotating or a person walking at a consent speed. It can detract from watching the movie because it can be notice by all once pointed out.

The stuttering is not present if played back via PowerDVD on a PC.

Also If I use process the same movies using "RipBot264" (latest versions over the last few weeks) the playback on the Panny BD30 and BD35 SAP are always perfect i.e. NO slight video stuttering.

I have been using movie only mode with AVCHD high compatibly ON and have tried both the highest and high encoder settings, encoding down to BD9 size.

I am going to give the very latest v0.20.03b a try but this time down convert 1080P to 720P and encode to a BD5 size

Do you have any ideas what could be causing this issue and what settings to change to try a located the issue?

Thanks,:thanks:

[jpcmanso]

Good job, jdobbs!
Keep going, but i have a simple but pertinent question. If 'Movie-Only' with 1 audio has less than 25GB, how to have an image backup without reencoding? As you can confirm, the initial size doesn't change with one or all the audio tracks. So, to the reencoder the image is always superior than 25GB...
Regards.

[Furiousflea]

Cheers dobbles, coming along nicely :) We all know what I'm waiting for lol great work tho man. Another donation coming along in the next couple of days from me.

[HWK]

That trick fixed the problem.

:thanks:

[old-hack]

The Bluray disc contents are only 33.9 G. But when BD Rebuilder begins to execute, it sees multiple copies of the main m2ts causing the size to increase to 57.94 G.

I've attached the pictures of each stage for both full backup and movie only backup as well as a picture of the BD Rebuild log. That is the only log generated.

Since I'm creating a BD-9 and the drive I'm creating it on has over 160 G remaining, I don't understand why "The target is too small to continue" message occurs.

Thanks.

[tyau]

Thanks Jerry. I can't wait to try this new version out. The x264.exe crash seems to come and go randomly. My CPU and memory are overclocked mildly but with excellent cooling and stability. I initially thought the x264.exe was related to elevated CPU temperature due to prolong hihg-load CPU usage. I reduce the overclocking rate slightly and the crashing is non-apparent during the rebuilding process. But other times the crash doesn't appear at all even at overclocked rates. I cannot tell whether the x264.exe crash was due to high CPU temperature (of around 40c) or whether it is due to a programming error or bug.

[tekmobile]

How difficult would it be to say add a feature where you could double click on a video icon to signal that you want to just copy that m2ts intact like you can to enable/disable audio tracks to also help overcome with mixed interlaced/progressive content problem.

While I appreciate being able to use the min vts method but if the problematic file is say >1or2GB this also means that there is alot of overhead from many other files that can be sucessfully re-encoded.

[rmeyers]

40c is not high for a CPU. my E8400 runs at around 60c when encoding. no problems.

[stef73]

my quad core 9300 is running at 45c which is fine 25c - 30c normally

[HWK]

My processor Intel Xeon X5560 goes 79c to 82c on full load with over clock @ 3.6 GHZ

Still stable and working fine.

Thanks,:thanks:Not a clue, especially since both BD-RB and RipBot264 use exactly the same encoder and muxer... but I can tell you that those players are very sensitive. I think it may be possible the RipBot264 uses level 4.0 for encoding (not positive, though) and BD-RB uses level 4.1 -- but by the specs BD is supposed to be 4.1.

The Bluray disc contents are only 33.9 G. But when BD Rebuilder begins to execute, it sees multiple copies of the main m2ts causing the size to increase to 57.94 G.

I've attached the pictures of each stage for both full backup and movie only backup as well as a picture of the BD Rebuild log. That is the only log generated.

Since I'm creating a BD-9 and the drive I'm creating it on has over 160 G remaining, I don't understand why "The target is too small to continue" message occurs.

Thanks.Try the new version and let me know if you still see anything weird.

[jdobbs]

How difficult would it be to say add a feature where you could double click on a video icon to signal that you want to just copy that m2ts intact like you can to enable/disable audio tracks to also help overcome with mixed interlaced/progressive content problem.

While I appreciate being able to use the min vts method but if the problematic file is say >1or2GB this also means that there is alot of overhead from many other files that can be sucessfully re-encoded. That'll work on BD-R backups, but not on BD-5/9 (the max bitrate is too high).

[tekmobile]

That'll work on BD-R backups, but not on BD-5/9 (the max bitrate is too high).

I always do full backups and choose the disc type depending on the amount of content so its very rare I use BD-5 but as a general rule anything upto around 3 hours ill use BD-9 and for everything else its BD-25 but I always test using arcsoft TMT and if that plays OK all burn to a BD-RE to test in my player (Sony BDP-S350) before i commit to a BD-R.

Also is there a way to detect and warn of possible mixed content when BD-RB does its initial scan of the source files because ive tried quite a few music discs and TV shows and you will usually find at least one i/p file and as a habit now I always try to encode every 1080i file using movie only and selecting the alternate playlists and let it run for 10 mins because it can be quite annoying when the full disc finishes and it fails on the last VTS because of this issue.

Another thing ive noticed also is when the extras are 480i 16:9 on the source after encoding and rebuilding they turn out 4:3 and vertically stretched.

Do we still need fixcpli with .21?

[Furiousflea]

Not a clue, especially since both BD-RB and RipBot264 use exactly the same encoder and muxer... but I can tell you that those players are very sensitive. I think it may be possible the RipBot264 uses level 4.0 for encoding (not positive, though) and BD-RB uses level 4.1 -- but by the specs BD is supposed to be 4.1.

True, Ripbot encodes to 4.0 profile apparently.

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs,
Looks like you may have corrected the problem I was having with Nights In Rodanthe with this "BD-RBV02003" latest release. I just copied over the BD-RB.exe, since I kept the previous workfiles, and rebuild completed successfully this time, no more error " CorrectMPLS() 00009 5". :)
Thanks for your continued excellent work, efforts and diligence on this program. Just to be certain, I will completely redo the whole movie with this new release, and report back. :thanks:

EDIT: I guess I spoke too soon and should have tried to play the movie first. Though it did "Rebuild" successfully, the movie does not play after burning to disc. Only intro warning plays, then no other video plays. I will redo the whole project fresh and see how it goes. Sorry for my premature/optimistic report, but hopefully there will still be success!

Yes BD-RB uses L4.1 vs. 4.0 in x264 commands, but RipBot264 uses 25000 for vbv-maxrate and bufsize also --nal-hrd

BD-RB uses an "ancient" version of tsMuxeR vs. RipBot264, otherwise same .metas I think.

@Discoboy maybe the --nal-hrd is the issue? That's what I'd look at first I guess.

I use the "ancient" version of TSMUXER because all the new ones introduce new bugs -- including crashes. I'll stay "ancient" because it works...

I'll stay "ancient" because it works...I've used 1.8.8 mostly, but every newer one as well, and they have never ever "crashed" or otherwise caused any problems whatsoever, except of course for the "chapter landing" issue that fixclpi helps to resolve for me.

But, I'm speaking in terms of tsMuxeR.exe standalone, and not in the context BD-RB which I have only tried a handful of times.

i have found a bug. its on the extended version of King Kong. i dont think anyone has mentioned it yet.

using the latest version, 0.20.02, the extended version doesn't play. at all. might be some sort of rebuilding/bd-structure mishap. theatrical version plays perfectly, as does bd-live. the extended version plays on the orignal rip on my hdd, so do the picture-in-picture extras. but in the bd-rb rip, these dont work. the counter goes to 0:00:00 and stays there. i am playing the bd .iso files in the latest powerdvd 8.

everything on the original rip is progressive VC-1. it is a multiple file playlist. not sure what else i can provide. here are my files. fyi, i did a fast encode, and i had to abort it and resume it.

also, i tried with and without Quick Encode Extras to see if there was a problem there. but the same result. just when it should play the extended movie, it stops working.

i started troubleshooting by looking to see if all the files that are in the original rip are in the shrunken one, which they are. 414 files in both. then i looked into BDedit to see if i could spot some differences to see where the mishap in the structure is. i think i found something. not knowledgeable enough in this stuff to know for sure.

the one on the right is the original rip of the extended edition playlist, the one on the left is the BD-RB rip of the same playlist. as you can see, there are differences in the IN Time and OUT Time of the Playlist and PlaylistMark headings. not sure if they are supposed to be different.

and just for clarification, there are two menus on the BD. one is for the theatrical version, one for the extended version. you can only play the extended version, from the correct main menu. and you can switch back and forth between the theatrical edition menu, and the extended edition menu.

as of right now, i am making another rip, this time including all audio and subtitles to see if it makes any difference.

[Capsbackup]

Looks like the " CorrectMPLS() 00009 5" problem on rebuild was corrected with the new version BD-RBV02003, but a new issue has developed. The burned disc does play, but I now hear a "seeking/cycling" sound from my Sony BDP-BX1 while playing, as if it is struggling to play. So if I try to fast forward the player freezes for several seconds, and if I change chapters, the same happens but then the player does not recover from the still image/freeze. I then have to press stop just to get the player to respond.
This was a full movie backup to BD-5, resize to 720P, default audio re-encode to 448kbps on Nights In Rodanthe.

[jdobbs]

according to this site http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/
max bitrate for blu-ray is 40 mbps but for unknown reason BD-RD uses only 25MbpsI understand it is the maximum for the profile. The limitation isn't really the spec -- but the spin speed of a BD-5/9 disc and the combination of video/audio/PGS/muxing overhead. You should be right on the edge, and if a couple of HD audio streams are kept, you can go over. I just like to keep it safe.

Do we still need fixcpli with .21? I just tested .22 and it is still needed. The packet count issue seems to be corrected, but the COARSE tables still aren't being updated for SPN rollover.

[Edit] I've noticed, though, that if someone uses splitting in TSMUXER the packet count issue is still there.

[laserfan]

The 25000 is too high (in MHO) -- I use 17500 for BD-5/9 and 25000 for BD-25, but that wouldn't make a difference. The --nal-hrd I'll have to check out.Not to re-hash an old argument, and I don't think this has anything to do with "stuttering playback", but the "25000 vs. 17500" question may have something to do also with booktype of the BD-5/9. I have learned for example that in making an HD-DVD you have to burn as booktype DVD+R or DVD+R DL, because if the booktype is DVD-ROM the player thinks it can spin only at 1x. If burned as DVD+R instead, it can spin at 3x. I have a Pioneer burner which can't do anything but booktype DVD-ROM with a DVD+R DL, and I *think* I've burned a BD-9 on that burner, so maybe this "rule of HD DVD" does not apply to BD, or perhaps it's just that my player doesn't care, but there you go--another variable in the equation.

I suppose tho if some folks are burning BD-5/9 as booktype DVD-ROM, and their SAP plays it but refuses to spin at >1x, this could cause stops & starts huh.

P.S. I've used 25000/25000 and then 17500/14745 and now the other day I encountered "buffer underflows" in x264 for the first time. Changing to 25000 fixed that and I'm going to leave it there as at least my player works great w/25000/25000.

[jdobbs]

@rmeyers

The BDEdit displays you are showing are correct. TSMUXER uses a fixed PTS starting value (00:10:00.000) that may be (and usually is) different than the original. Most commercial discs use a value of 00:00:11.650. BD Rebuilder updates the CLPI and MPLS so the values match the new PTS values. The fact that it shows in the tables of BDEdit is just proof that they have been correctly updated. The alternative is to scan through the M2TS and change all the clock values, but it takes too much time that way, and you reach the same result either way. You just have to make sure the M2TS and CLPI/MPLS combinations match.

Actually BD Rebuilder does do the scan/correction of DTS/PTS and other clock values in the M2TS stream for certain types of files, but they are typically much smaller.

[laserfan]

TSMUXER uses a different time base. BD-RB updates the MPLS/CLPI to correct for it. This is ok.I noticed a couple times with BDEdit that the "entry point" for movie-only discs was 10 minutes!? Since the discs play and report run-time accurately I paid no mind to this--I wonder if it's a tsMuxeR bug...

Oh, my--you were typing the answer as I was typing my question! :o

@jdobbs

I am thinking of getting the "The Red Baron" imported from Europe. It is distributed by Warner and has VC-1 video and DTS 5.1 audio. I have been informed that it is 24 fps.

From what I have seen, BD-RB re-encodes the video at 23.976 but the audio is either pass-through for DTS or transcoded to AC3 without framerate conversion. This would cause a video/audio sync problem.

Is it possible to have a switch to set the video stream framerate (as is found in tsMuxeR) at other than 23.976 in order to keep audio/video sync in the re-built copy?

Alternatively, as was suggested/requested earlier in this thread, the possibility of being able to edit the meta file produced by BD-RB before the re-encoding process starts.

Thanks for looking at this, and also a BIG :thanks: for the app.

[Edit] My standalone is a Sony S350 which can handle 24 fps material too.

dos aften windows comes up says can't open avi file with the avs script name , frustrating What happens if you try to open the AVS with Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? If the error is there, it should display it (or play back the audio). Chances are it is a 7.1 source, which can't be handled yet. I may be able to convert it to 5.1 with AVISYNTH if NicAudio() supports it...

[smnckl]

It should use the same framerate as the original -- but frankly I haven't tested it with a 24fps source (I don't have one).

I think that is one of the issues here -- all(?) BD discs sold in the US are 23.976 fps.

I do not know whether NicAudio() has an option to stretch the audio timeline but have seen that eac3to has the "-slowdown" parameter to stretch 25.000/24.000 to 23.976.

Maybe someone from Europe who uses BD-RB has some material that is at 24 fps and could help with a sample? Just hoping. :)

Thanks.

the author of eac3to says "The libav/ffmpeg TrueHD decoder works perfectly fine including full 7.1 decoding." but also, "The libav/ffmpeg (E-)AC3 and DTS decoders are both limited to 5.1. Furthermore the DTS decoder ignores the additional DTS-HD information."

Furthermore the DTS decoder ignores the additional DTS-HD information." But that doesn't mean NicAudio() will decode it, nor does it mean WAVI.EXE will convert it or that AFTEN will encode it.

I'll look around for a 7.1 source (I have to have one somewhere) and I'll play with it. If there is a way for me to recognize it easily and NicAudio() can decode it, I can separate the channels in AVISYNTH and remux them to 5.1.

[rmeyers]

true, but what i was implying was that maybe you could try decoding it through the MLP libav codec, since ffdshow is required to use BD-RB. but im guessing you want to use the same audio decoder for all audio. would be much easier.

[jdobbs]

Ahh... understood.

I'll wait on this as there are few discs which I would import. tho "The Red Baron" looks like it is a good movie from the trailers that I have seen on european sites.

Thanks for taking the time for this.

[jdobbs]

However, the BD-RB backups re-encode to 23.976 No. They don't. They reencode and remux at the rate of the original. The example you posted just means that the original on that source was 23.976. If you had used a 24fps source it would have said "fps=24".

[rmeyers]

oh, i forgot to report on this stupid king kong disc. did a full backup will extras encoded quickly. all audio and all subs included, so basically it just re-encoding the audio and video and putting it back together. but still, the extended edition doesnt play. definitely a structure error somewhere. what else can i provided? bdinfo outputs? anything?

[Elesias]

Tried to backup "Into the Wild" on a BD25.

Plays fine with my PC, my Samsung BD-P1400, and no picture on my Panasonic BD35 (sound is good though).
Used v0.20.03, High Quality, Stricter AVCHD compliance, and Trellis Algorithm. Looks like I still have trouble with VC1 encoded video streams...

I may change "Stricter AVCHD compliance" to include the 8.3 filenames and Level 4.0 (instead of 4.1) just to see if it has an impact.

@Jdobbs,

I would like to try this changed option to see if it gets rid of my very slight video stutter (looks just like a frame or two is missing at regular intervals) when a movie only mode is played back on my Panny BD30 and BD35 SAP's but does not happen when RipBot264 is used.

Thanks ;)

Just ask if user is playing NTSC content on PAL SAP or PAL content on NTSC-only stand-alone-player. I'd suggest further bug-reportst to include region version of the player... and in such strange cases I'd doubt complainer has an original disc :) to "test" with.

As the author you know that of course. I just add some proof to this.

"Baader Meinhof Komplex", a german made movie has 23.976 fps and 25 fps on the extras and the main movie is 24 fps

[Furiousflea]

What happens if you try to open the AVS with Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? If the error is there, it should display it (or play back the audio). Chances are it is a 7.1 source, which can't be handled yet. I may be able to convert it to 5.1 with AVISYNTH if NicAudio() supports it...

Or, just take your grubby mitts off the audio and leave us with 7.1 untouched, only as a temporary workaround of couse :devil:

I don't think there is a difference between PAL\NTSC in HD world? Only so far as some discs being region coded but that's not going to have a bearing here?

(note the ? marks as I don't know either but that was my understanding(?))

The light is slowly coming on for me. My bad!
I had assumed that because all the backups I had done were at 23.976, that BD-RB was set to re-encode all movies to that.

Thanks for clearing up the misconception I had.

I thought so... but the little :devil: on my shoulder made me stir it up more. :D

Thanks for the clarification. I'll get on topic before I get struck.

[rmeyers]

easiest way to check fps, is to do a BDInfo scan of your bd folder. it shows the fps of every playlist/stream.

[pacificdune]

Having a problem with encoding speed. When I originally started using BD rebuilder I was getting 25-30 FPS and all 4 cores on my Q9450 were at 100% load. Now I'm only getting one core at 100% load. Any idea how I can get back to 4 threaded operation?

Probably a simple setting, but I'm stumped.

Thanks!

Most of the time when X264 fails it is because AVISYNTH cannot decode the video source. Make sure you have all necessary codecs enabled in FFDSHOW.

1. If you have Windows Media Player 11 installed (highly recommended) on your system, disable VC-1 decoding (letting the system default to WMV11), else set it to WMV9.

2. Make sure MPEG2 is set to LIBAVCODEC

3. Make sure H.264/AVC is set to LIBAVCODEC

[Chefkoch_ico]

@jdobbs,
Looks like you may have corrected the problem I was having with Nights In Rodanthe with this "BD-RBV02003" latest release. I just copied over the BD-RB.exe, since I kept the previous workfiles, and rebuild completed successfully this time, no more error " CorrectMPLS() 00009 5". :)
Thanks for your continued excellent work, efforts and diligence on this program. Just to be certain, I will completely redo the whole movie with this new release, and report back. :thanks:

EDIT: I guess I spoke too soon and should have tried to play the movie first. Though it did "Rebuild" successfully, the movie does not play after burning to disc. Only intro warning plays, then no other video plays. I will redo the whole project fresh and see how it goes. Sorry for my premature/optimistic report, but hopefully there will still be success!

Hi!

I still get this error "CorrectMPLS() 00009 5" on "The mummy 3" german version with BD-RB 0.20.03.

Should it be already fixed, or is it the same problem than before?

Best regards

Hello,

I'm using this soft to shrink my MKV to BD5 or BD9.

What I'm doing :

MKV -> tsMuxer -> BD structure -> BD Rebuilder -> BD Structure -> DVD-DL

Everything is OK except that my MKV is in 1280x528 instead of 1280x720.

If I play my DVD on my PS3, the image is at the top of the TV with a big green bar under it. I suppose that the green bar is due to the lake of the borders.

How can I recrop my video ?

I have found the fucntion AddBorders under AviSynth but I don't known how to user it.

I make this script :

DirectShowSource("G:\BLURAYDISC\l age de glace 2.mkv")
AddBorders(0, 96, 0, 96, $000000)

I use MeGUI (input : script / output : MKV file) but the result file was very small (under 500 Mo)

Can you help me ?

Maybe you could add an option in BD Rebuilder to force resolution to 1920x1080 / 1280x720.

Thanks.

BD-Rebuilder isn't for converting mkv videos to bluray, it's for people to backup their bluray collection so they can keep their originals in a safe place.

Oh yes ??? Sorry !!!

It's up to you what you do - lega or otherwise. Reason I said it though is because that is what the author of the software is concentrating on. There are still lots of problems with some unprocessed bluray sources and it would open a whole can of worms to start pandering to anything that isn't a genuine valid bluray rip. no disrespect to yourself. I'm pretty sure this is the official stance from jdobbs.

If you post in one of the other forums you should be able to get help there, but I think this thread is purely for posting bugs for bluray sources.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong though.

[Protecus]

First of all thank you, jdobbs, for this great software. I wrote a german tutorial (http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=28159) how to make a Blu-ray backup with 'BD Rebuilder'. I always set MPEG2 to LIBMPEG2 and also described this in my tutorial. Now I see that you recommend LIBAVCODEC.


2. Make sure MPEG2 is set to LIBAVCODEC


I don't want to tell something wrong in my tutorial, so could you please tell me what the diference between LIBMPEG2 and LIBAVCODEC is? Yet everything went fine with my Blu-ray Backups by using LIBMPEG2.

Greets,
Protecus

OK, I understand. I have post my question on other forums.

But maybe the author can add an option to force the resolution ton 1920x1080 or 1280x720. I guess it's only 2 words in the command line.

I stop now and it's a great soft anyway :)

Greets,
ProtecusLIBMPEG2 should work just as well. I just mentioned LIBAVCODEC because that's what I have set. The point I should have been making there is that something has to be set, or you may get encoding errors.

As for the differences, I'd defer to someone at SourceForge who has been maintaining them. They both seem to work for me. I personally use a policy of "when in doubt, use libavcodec".

[Protecus]

LIBMPEG2 should work just as well.

:thanks:

[Biffa001]

thanks for the reply.:D

Have you ever gotten any successful encodes before, or is the first attempt?

1st attempt

Most of the time when X264 fails it is because AVISYNTH cannot decode the video source. Make sure you have all necessary codecs enabled in FFDSHOW.

If you just mean the below 3 points then yes I have them setup as you suggest below.


1. If you have Windows Media Player 11 installed (highly recommended) on your system, disable VC-1 decoding (letting the system default to WMV11), else set it to WMV9.

2. Make sure MPEG2 is set to LIBAVCODEC

3. Make sure H.264/AVC is set to LIBAVCODEC

Done, but I still get the same error :(

I also have AVISynth in FFDShow set to AVISynth. What am I missing here I've no idea!

[jdobbs]

Can you play back the AVS file using Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? At least then you can see if a picture is actually making it to X264.

[Furiousflea]

Sounds like you haven't installed Haali Media Splitter to me...

?

[Biffa001]

Can you play back the AVS file using Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? At least then you can see if a picture is actually making it to X264.

There is a 1kb VID_00000.AVS in my workfiles directory. I can play this in Media Player Classic (with no sound).

Haali is installed too. :o

[Elesias]

Is anyone else having an issue like this?

I may change "Stricter AVCHD compliance" to include the 8.3 filenames and Level 4.0 (instead of 4.1) just to see if it has an impact.

Tried with "The Changeling", and same results : plays fine with BD-P1400 (firmware 2.0) and not with BD-35 (firmware 1.3).
Both players are european.

The Changeling is also VC1 encoded.

[jdobbs]

There is a 1kb VID_00000.AVS in my workfiles directory. I can play this in Media Player Classic (with no sound).

Haali is installed too. :o
That's good, so at least the CODEC appears to be working (no sound is normal). If you look in the BD Rebuilder directory you'll see a file called "LASTCMD.TXT". That should be the X264 command that was executing when it crashed. Try running a CMD window, and cut-and-paste the command into it. See what kind of error you get from X264 when it runs directly (from the command line).

Hi!1. If you have Windows Media Player 11 installed (highly recommended) on your system, disable VC-1 decoding (letting the system default to WMV11), else set it to WMV9.I have WMP9 and have always had VC-1 set to "LIBAVCODEC" - and have experienced no problems related to that setting.

Please clarify - Would there be some specific additional benefit to setting VC-1 to "WMV9" instead of "LIBAVCODEC"?

I have done over 30 bdrs using all versions of rebuilder. Touch wood had no problems shrinking to 25gb or dvd9 full backups. Excellent piece of software.

and I get the same popup box with "x264.exe has stopped working" and the only option is "close the program". Nothing in the CMD window.

Yiykes!

That's not good, especially since it seems to be working fine for others (including me). Is there anything special about your system, processor, or operating system? Is it, perhaps, an exceptionally old processor? Also, this is the same X264.EXE that was included in the ZIP with BD-RB v0.20.3, right?

[jdobbs]

I have done over 30 bdrs using all versions of rebuilder. Touch wood had no problems shrinking to 25gb or dvd9 full backups. Excellent piece of software. My only problem is dvd9 fullbackups wont play on standalone samsung player, yet movie only backups with stricter setting play no problem. Any ideas hate to have to replace this great little player Some players just won't accept BD-9... not sure why.

Nothing out of the ordinary, an AMD X2 Dual Core 2.11, Vista, 4GB installed.

I got the same error with the included x264.exe and also with the latest downloaded from the x264 website.

I've just followed your suggestions again with the original x264 from v0.20.3 and have the same outcome as listed here....!

Am i missing something here!

Wasn't this what we were talking about a few posts back... about x264 crashing with the error 'x264.exe has stopped working', because of the 1080i VC-1 streams.

Surely this is the same thing??

[setarip_old]

@jdobbsBetter to have WMV11 installed and disable it in FFDSHOW. I have sources that work with WMV11 and not with LIBAVCODEC or WMV9.Thanks for the info.

For various reasons, I have chosen not to update from WMP9 - so I guess I'm okay until such time as I run into one of the source discs you speak of...

Surely this is the same thing?? It doesn't look like it to me. If this were an "interlaced problem" I would think you'd see it in the playback -- not in X264. He hase already shown that the AVS will play back properly.

I've seen this before but not in this context. I sort of remember fixing it by adding a ConvertToYV12() statement into the AVS -- but that should already be there... Maybe some odd resolution???

Dark Shikari??? What else could cause this?

I am running Vista and have come across this (hilited in red) error message when X264 could not access the source referenced in the avs file, either because the path-to-source was incorrect in avs or the folder/file permissions were screwed up.

Try leaving the sentence as

DirectshowSource("E:\FGM\35990120_FEWGOODMEN\BDMV\STREAM\00141.m2ts", fps=23.976, framecount=198552, audio=false)

which is how I believe BD-RB sets it at.

[archie_here]

I am using Windows XP Pro.
When I use the script created by BD-RB, I am getting not able to play the avs script in MPC and i get a script error: Directshowsource does not have a named argument "framecount" (E:\WORKING\WORKFILES\VID_00141.AVS, line 2)

If I take the framecount out, I am able to play the script on MPC without problem.

Both ways BD-RB is failing to encode like below.

BD-Rebuilder automatically adds the framecount each time i try to run. I'm confused by this, I assume the "framecount=198552" is actually in the DirectShowSource() as a parameter. I thought earlier you said it plays fine in MPC??

yes, if I comment out framecount like below.

HI JDOBBS

fyi

I tried to do Kung fu Panda and x264 crashed at rencode 33.
It said there was an error with ffmpeg.
I then changed H.264 in ffdsow to ffmpeg from libavcodec and continued.
Its carrying on now. Will post results when completed.

Is there any chance you could put up snapshots of your FFDSHOW settings so i could see what all your settings are set to which decoder please?

Thanks and keep up the great work.

**UPDATE - it completed this time without crashing x264. So if anyone else has a problem with reencode failure you might want to try changing the setting as i did and it worked fine.

He mentioned that he used libavcodec for the mpeg2 and H.264/AV settings. All others would be the default settings, as FFDShow installs them.

Tried with "The Changeling", and same results : plays fine with BD-P1400 (firmware 2.0) and not with BD-35 (firmware 1.3).
Both players are european.

The Changeling is also VC1 encoded.

the changeling plays perfecly on my bd35 with 1.3 european firmware and on ps3

[espinha]

Just so I got this right...if the video shows VC1 1080I, thats the interlaced problem that isn't working correctly? I just did Apocalypto (full disk) and one of the extras plays audio fine but video is gray. Rest of the disk is great.

"jewish" said: I then changed H.264 in ffdsow to ffmpeg from libavcodec and continued.

[jewish]

I must have missed it or forgotten. What setting did you change?

In ffdshow video decoder configuration its the first option - H.264/AVC.

I changed it from libavcodec to ffmpeg-mt.

I then continued Kung fu Panda to the end and burned to re-writable and it plays fine in my samsung 1500.

This was a full back up as I only do full disk back up to BD25.

Kind regards.
