BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[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

[jdobbs]

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'm sure something has changed -- but for the life of me I can't see it.

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.

[Shuttle99]

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 ??

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.

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.

Thanks

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.......

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?

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.

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.

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...

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.

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...
