BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Shuttle99]

No problem -- thanks for your help. Make sure, though, that you don't add the tweaks unless you have LAVF selected. The FORCE_CFR setting is only meant to work with LAVF.

Ok got it, so if having it unchecked still does not work I will add the check and add the lines to the ini files and retry it again.

I'd like to know why some logs show:
- Target BD size: 23,58 GB
while others show:
- Target BD size: 23.58 GB

Rather big difference if you ask me ;)

[omegaman7]

Ahh. Thanks for that. :o

[gamete]

DVD can't be 1920x1080 -- it would violate spec. HD resolutions would indicate BD-5/9 or AVCHD rather than DVD.


thanks jdobbs:o

0004.mpls. You can use BDInfo to get this info.

Not a bug report, so let me first apologize for posting. I'm looking to you guys for recommended settings for Kick-Ass. When you backup this movie, what playlist do you choose for the movie-only backup? There are multiple ones here, and I'd prefer not to waste my time choosing the wrong one (which is what I think I did last time, by letting it choose it for me). Any advice would be greatly appreciated! :thanks:

[jdobbs]

Ok got it, so if having it unchecked still does not work I will add the check and add the lines to the ini files and retry it again. Any luck running without LAVF?

[jdobbs]

I'm just taking a shot in the dark but I notice in the log it shows 640 kbit for audio even though the actual output is 448 dvd compliant ac3. That may skew it a bit undersized if the calc is assuming 640 kbit. You hit the nail on the head. I was adjusting to 448 in the output, but not in the sizing calculation. That causes a two hour movie to undersize by about 164MB

Thanks.

[MrT.]

thanks jdobbs for the update.
To update, all I need to do is delete the current(old) BD-RB folder, then maybe reboot? Then extract the new version to C:/ ? Would that be fine and adequate?

After extracting the new version, do I need to do this? ""'Note to Windows 7 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry."""

Or does it need to be done just the very first time I ever use BD-RB on this current Windows 7 install.

You shouldn't have to "Run as Administrator" again. It only needs to update the registry the first time it is run. The only exception might be if you ran into problems because some other program changed them again.

[MrT.]

ok, thank you very much.

[jdobbs]

Yes, they have .WAV on the end. Thanks.


Magpowerzip I'm running "Cars" now to see if I can repeat the .WAV issue.

Magpowerzip I'm running "Cars" now to see if I can repeat the .WAV issue. I used the same settings as the ones you posted and it seems to have completed correctly. Not sure what I can do except to recommend that you try it again.

In the meantime, I'll do some testing on the output to make sure everything is right.

I just burned the disc with LAVF unchecked and it work perfect.

Thanks

Shuttle99 Ok. That means that I probably need to put the "--force-cfr" back in for LAVF.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.36.02). Changes for this revision:- Changed log output to not show target size when
ALTERNATE output is selected (it doesn't apply).
- Corrected an error in which certain combinations
of ALTERNATE movie-only, BD_SIZE and KEEP_HD
could result in blank audio-track(s) or failed
audio encoding for ALTERNATE output.
- Fixed incorrect reporting in the overall progress
bar when outputting to DVD via ALTERNATE.
- Corrected a resizing calculation error associated
with movie-only DVD targets.
- Fixed a regression in v0.36.1 that may cause
compatibility issues on Panasonic players when
using LAVF.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Has anyone else encountered this?

Full disc backups of the Blu-ray series "The Pacific":

1) Burned discs play properly under PowerDVD (Of course, secondary ExpressDTS audio is silent/not present)

2) When burned discs are played on SONY 360, all preliminary activity leading up to the beginning of the main movie plays back properly, including audio. As soon as the main movie begins, there is no audio and neither audio nor subtitles can be accessed.

(Separate "movie-only" rips burned to dics play properly)

I can only guess that the SONY 360 is "gagging" on the presence or lack of presence of something to do with the DTSExpress audio.

If so, it's another reason to look forward to "jdobbs'" resolution of the DTSExpress "situation".

If it's due to something else, please advise...

[Shuttle99]

Ok. That means that I probably need to put the "--force-cfr" back in for LAVF.

I see you have new version and it shows a change to the LAVF so I take it you added to it what you wanted me to do manually. I will test one tonight and let you know if it fixed it.

Nope same thing happened here on a Samsung player and Panasonic.

Thought it was something I did. Didn't bother me as it took to long to load and get to the episodes so I just put each episode on a BD5 for instant starts.

If it's due to something else, please advise... What firmware version are you using on the S360?

[Edit] Never mind. Based on JJB's post it looks like it affects more than just the S360.

[Capsbackup]

[Edit] Never mind. Based on JJB's post it looks like it affects more than just the S360.

This is what I reported months back, when burning full disc backups to DVD media, either BD5 or BD9. If the backup was burned to BD-R/RE, it works properly. If the original has PiP, the audio is silent and subtitles are not selectable when played back on Sony standalones. The audio and subtitles are there and work properly when played back with a PC with software players.
The consensus was, at that time, that it is a Sony firmware issue, since I believe some people reported proper playback on different mfg's standalones.
There is a workaround, but required the use of multiAVCHD.

After the install, run "Video Decoder Configuration" for FFDSHOW from the "START/Programs" menu, and make sure MPEG2 decoding is enabled. Do the same using "Audio Decoder Configuration" to ensure "Uncompressed" is set to "All Supported".

Tried running an encode today and at the second pass it fails and tells me that Haali is not the recommended version. I've done half a dozen other movies in the past week or so and they all ran fine up til now.

Reinstalled BD_rebuilder v0.36.02 reinstalled haali 1.9.42.1 still giving me the not recommended version for Haali.

Reinstalled BD_rebuilder v0.36.02 reinstalled haali 1.9.42.1 still giving me the not recommended version for Haali. Uninstall HAALI and then download and use the version of HAALI in the first post of this thread... there are lots of versions of HAALI that don't work with certain types of video (for one reason or another). The one linked will work with everything.

[Edit] Whoops... 1.9.42.1 is the recommended one. You need to uninstall, then deleted the folder under "C:\Program Files" for HAALI's MediaSplitter -- then reinstall. The uninstall procedure leaves a bunch of stray files that makes BD-RB think it isn't the correct version.

I had a weird occurance with BD_RB 36.02 doing a movie only of Good_BD. The disk when loaded into BD_RB it shows a movie runtime of 1:36.01 but after movie is converted it now has a runtime of 1:36.14. The movie is fine, no sync problems and it continues playing a black screen after the 1:36.01 mark for an additional 13 seconds. Don't know yet if this happens on any other titles but this is weird that it would continue running past the original runtime.

Don't know yet if this happens on any other titles but this is weird that it would continue running past the original runtime. The length time shown is BD-RB is an estimate. It's might be possible that the M2TS is a little longer than the MPLS's start and end time (that's where the length estimate is pulled). Just for clarity's sake, you could look at the VID_XXXX.AVS file and see what it says for framecount.

I've seen several multi-part movies where an intro segment is longer than the MPLS time states. BD-RB actually does checks on multi-part movies and corrects when it finds goofiness like that. A single M2TS/CLPI set can be referenced from more than one playlist, and all don't necessarily have to play the entire clip.

Any idea on why I would get the standard AVS error of RenderFile with all correct versions installed and be able to play the file itself with any media player I choose? This has to be something really strange. I've re-installed Haali, ffdshow and AviSynth til I'm blue. Still get the same message with Sound of Music. Only disc to give me problems.

Thanks for the reply. I tried the setting change, no joy. This has me totally bumfuzzled. Every player I have will play the M2TS, so it doesn't seem to be a codec issue. For the life of me, I can't figure this one out. I get exactly the same thing on another machine.

My problem stemmed from attempting to encode Sound of Music as well. I made no version changes at all after posting as it was processing another attempt already. This time it worked successfully without any errors.

However I'm still getting a flag for the incorrect Haali version even though its the one from the link in first post. Green Zone just finshed successfully even with the error flag..

Baffled why it tells me Haali is incorrect. I guess I'll keep going as is til it quits again.

You did not read down far enough. Starting from post #8765 I discuss using multiAVCHD to substitute/use an external audio file, the original for the title though, and rebuild it. This only applies to BD5/9 media though!

After that INSPECT should say "Ok" for HAALI.

I never trust uninstallers. For whatever reason, there's usually something left behind in the programs folders. And always left behind in the registry. Gotta be careful with the registry mind you ;)

The first time you run BD-RB you have to "Run as Administrator" and BD Rebuilder will update those settings in the registry.
