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.

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.

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.

this is from the log as you can see it fails to encode the audio and always stalls at 70.40% complete

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.

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.

Just my .02 cents.

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.

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:)

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?

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]

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.

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.
