You have to download from the links in the first post and you will get the required and approved versions automatically.

The words "FFDSHOW" and "Haali Matroska Splitter" are links to

It's output as 1080i25? Since BD has no support for 1080p25 and some movies are shot in 25fps here in Europe, authoring shops tend to encode progressive frames but flag them as 1080i25 to get round the limitation.
That's similar to DVD I assume: Progressive frames encoded/flagged as interlaced.
I would assume that such sources can be encoded as progressive by x264 using '--fake-interlaced'. I do this for DVD backups for example, and they play without issues on my SONY S360.
Encoding as interlaced with '--tff' (MBAFF) should also work, but in this case '--weightp' is not supported if I remember correctly.
It's more difficult when downscaling to 720. Blu-ray accepts progressive 23.976, 24.000, 50.000, 59.940 only, but not 25. So either one can apply frame duplication for 25fps progressive material, or apply '--pulldown double' which would be more efficient. I tried the latter without success. It seems that tsmuxer has a problem with it (frame playback sequence). Maybe someone else has a different experience. It's however going beyond the scope of this thread.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new release of BD-RB (v0.37.03). Changes for this release:- Corrected an error in which pulldown could be
incorrectly applied to a hybrid source.
- Fixed an error in which BFF (bottom field first)
MPEG-2 sources may not be correctly identified.
- Corrected an error in which 24fps sources that
were rebuilt for movie-only were not using the
correct muxing rate and as a result did not
have audio synchronization.
- Fixed a bug in which setting DEINTERLACE and
IVTC concurrently would cause an incorrect AVS
to be generated on a source with pulldown. As a
result, a nonsensical framerate and audio sync
problems would occur.
- Corrected the ALTERNATE/DVD output so it will
properly handle 24fps sources.
- Changed actions in combinations of resizing SD
to 1080p in combination with IVTC.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1867).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to
the latest release (r1867).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

If you select the "Deinterlace" option in the SETUP dialog the "--fake-interlaced" flag will be used for both 29.97fps and 25fps sources.

If you go back to first post. This is First point on thread.

1. Download and install FFDSHOW and the Haali Matroska Splitter. They are required for BD-RB to work and are free. 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".

In that very post you will find two program you need. I have highlighted them here.

[Voyeurism]

I've just tried the latest build with New Moon, and the audio is still out of sync. I haven't tried Benjamin Button again yet, but assume the problem will still be there for that disc too.

[jdobbs]

I've just tried the latest build with New Moon, and the audio is still out of sync. I haven't tried Benjamin Button again yet, but assume the problem will still be there for that disc too.Tried it how? I'm not a mind reader... movie-only, full backup, Alternate output, DVD?

If you want things to get fixed you have to take the extra 30 seconds needed to describe your issue. You also can't expect me to start digging back through the pages to see what happened last time you posted. I went through all 7 of your previous posts and you have yet to have posted a single LOG, INF, or INI file. To me that's as much as saying "Ignore my post".

C'mon, throw me a bone here.

Sorry if I'm not posting the required information - let me know if there is anything else you require.

[jdobbs]

What are you using to play it back? Sometimes software players can cause desync. It's been a long, long time since a standard backup of an AVC HD source in movie-only has had sync problems. Can you also run INSPECT.EXE and post the results?

I'll pick up a copy of NEW_MOON and give it a test run.

I originally noticed the sync while watching a burned copy of the rebuilt BD5, played back on my PS3. Since I noticed it, I have been using VLC after the rebuild to play the m2ts file that BD-RB outputs so that I can check the audio before burning to disc.

Since first noticing the sync problem I've done about 4-5 rebuilds of other discs using exactly the same settings (I assume - I never touch any of them) which have worked without any sync problems. "New Moon" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" are the only discs I've experienced it with so far.

@jdobbs;
I can confirm on my end that BD-RBV03703 corrects the IVTC/DECOMB problem on mpeg2 files that could make the audio go out of sync. :)
I see the avs created reflects (Telecide(order=1) Decimate() ).
Suprising to me is that the visual quality is improved noticeably on what is a pretty low quality original, and is better than just keeping it interlaced or using Decomb to deinterlace it. ( pending the original source! )
So congrats and thank you for such a quick find and fix. :cool:

So congrats and thank you for such a quick find and fix. :cool: Just as a note, I'm including SmoothDeinterlacer() as an option for deinterlacing in the next release. I've found that on some sources it can make a considerable difference. I've also added a deinterlacing option that leaves the source alone -- but adds "fake-interlaced" to the command line for sources that are actually progressive but are marked as interlaced to meet the standard.

Try either removing the subtitles or not resizing to 720. Does it work then?

I think it's the subtitles, or at least I remember reading something regarding subtitles and resizing to 720P.
You could try to resize to 720P but remove the subtitles from the backup and see if it works. :cool:

As with almost all errors of this nature, uninstalling Avisynth, ffdshow and haali, delete the program folder for haali, reboot and reinstall those three apps from page one of this thread.
If you have any other codec packs installed, either uninstall them or invite problems like this again. :(

[jdobbs]

Thanks for the advice. Yes. There are some subtitles that simply won't resize and TSMUXER fails. Don't know why.

I'm sorry to mention this................. but I am trying to back up the pacific series which has ( I know) secondry audio dts

i just wish i could get to do it but i can't
i've tried sorry to mention dvdfab but its worked on the first three disc's

An experimental version of the secondary DTS-Express code will be in the next release. You will be able to enable the function with a hidden option.

Excellent, very exciting! :D
Will this release also include IGS menu support?

[jdobbs]

Will this release also include IGS menu support? Yes, it's actually the same code that supports both. Remember, though, it'll still be experimental (interpret that as "use a BD-RE").

[Capsbackup]

Yes, it's actually the same code that supports both. Remember, though, it'll still be experimental (interpret that as "use a BD-RE").

Will do! :p
I have 4 BD-RE's and several Blu-rays with DTS Express secondary audio, so I will be running many tests and will let you know my results. :)

I assume that you checked the sync throught the movie - on my rebuild it seems to get more out of sync towards the end?

If so I guess it must be something to do with my setup - any suggestions on where to start looking?

Hi jdobbs, my definition of "works", appears to be the same as yours as i prefer to use "bd reb' "as the quality of back-up is excellent, it's just i wanted all the features on the disc's which includes the dts-express secondry audio, so it is great news that you will put out an experimental version in the next release.
great work keep it up:thanks:

[jdobbs]

If so I guess it must be something to do with my setup - any suggestions on where to start looking? I did. It syncs all the way through.

[Voyeurism]

Ok, thanks for confirming.

I demuxed the rebuilt m2ts file and checked the properties for the video and two audio streams - both audio streams are roughly 2 seconds longer than the video stream. This suggests to me that the problem is with the frame rate of the video stream, although I don't know why. I've uninstalled Avisynth, Ffdshow, Haali, and removed BD-RB then redownloaded and reinstalled everything and left it running on NEW_MOON while I'm at work.

I realise this isn't a support thread, but if this doesn't work, do you have any thoughts on what the issue could be, or things I could try? I must admit I don't really know much about digital video so I mostly just leave everything on he default settings - I'm at a bit of a loss here, now that I know the problem is not with BD-RB.

What is the framerate of the demuxed reencoded video?


Since you demuxed the files, did you try to mux the reencoded video with the demuxed audio from the original disc (untouched, not reencoded)? This way you can narrow it down to a video or audio problem causing the sync issue.

[Voyeurism]

What is the framerate of the demuxed reencoded video?

I was under the impression that the demuxed video stream (which is a .264 file) did not have a "framerate" as such, since tsmuxer requires you to specify a framerate for h264 video because it can't determine it from the video stream itself. If this is incorrect, how do I find the framerate of the demuxed video stream?

MediaInfoRaw, dgavcdec, and DGMPGDEC (for mpeg2 ) will give you that info. :cool:

I realise this isn't a support thread, but if this doesn't work, do you have any thoughts on what the issue could be, or things I could try? I must admit I don't really know much about digital video so I mostly just leave everything on he default settings - I'm at a bit of a loss here, now that I know the problem is not with BD-RB. My guess would be CODEC issues... something on your system is likely interfering with BD-RB or one of it's support apps. The code is the code and has to work the same way on any computer.

Hey jdobbs,

any plans on getting to 3D blu-ray processing soon?

Thanks :)

Just picking up on the various discussions regarding "The Expendables" (PAL) in December i'm having major issues with this one converting to Movie Only 9GB output. When I ran it with the last but one version of BD Rebuilder around a third the way in it branches out to the Directors commentary and the audio goes way out of sync. I tried it again with the current version and now I get no audio at all but with the same branching problem at exactly the same point. I can send you the log file if that would help but i'm guessing from the previous posts you are familiar with the structure of this one - loads of m2ts's in the main movie playlist!

I have searched this thread, but cannot find an answer to my question. I have successfully backed up about 50 movies with this program. However, every once in a while I will burn a disc that plays perfectly except for the audio. All the menus and functions are there, but the main movie has no audio at all.

To add to my confusion, I can play the created folder with TMT5, and the problem does not exist. This only happens with the burned discs on my player. I have a Sony BDP-S350. I have the latest firmware update, as well.

The last movie that this happened with was Bourne Identity. I backed up to a BD-5 and burned with Imgburn. I used version 3701.

Let me know what I need to post to help answer this bug question.

This problem happens only with movies that have PiP, backups are made to BD5/9 media and seems to be more of an issue with Sony players. This same backup, if burned to BD-R/RE would work perfectly, except of course no secondary audio if it is DTS Express. ( The Bourne Identity has DTS Express )

I have to wonder what kind of quality a "FULL" Bourne Identity (118 minutes) backup to BD-5 would look like? I recently did the "Once Upon A Time In America", and it runs just shy of 4 hrs, and backed it up to a "Movie Only" BD-9. Granted the movie has a soft and fuzzy look to it especially in the dark interior scenes but when comparing it to the original I can see some occasional ringing and halos in it. I have noticed in a few movies lately that the backups have slight problems in dimly lit scenes that contain fog or smoke. I don't know if this is inherent in the h264 codec or in the tighter compression being used for these longer titles? I am redoing "OUATIA" this time to a BD-25 "Movie Only", but which is preferable for "ONE PASS" if you don't use the automatic settings, "CBR or ABR"? Thanks for the help and to jdobbs for the great program.
