BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[waynezo]

I'm bedridden right now (ankle surgery after a fall) so it will probably be a couple of days before I can release the new version. But I'm sure it will fix this for everyone.

Luckily I can still use my iPad from bed so I can read reports.

Here's wishing you a fast recovery!

[ftb32]

Hope you recover soon mi amigo..

[jdobbs]

Ive been using BDrebuilder for ages now, but Ive just tried to a full blu-ray film, I press on `Backup` but a window comes up `Target is too small to continue`.

Can you help?

:thanks: That means that the combined size of audio you have chosen is too big to fit on the target you have selected. There is no room left for video even at 0Kbs.

[Sharc]

I made a conversion using "Alternate movie only Output mode" to PAL DVD5.
Source audio is AC3 5.1, 448 kbps. I wanted to convert the audio to 2-ch 192.
In the setup I selected both
"Do not reencode AC3 (blu-ray only)", and
"Use 192 kbps, 2 ch for AC3 encoding"
The recoded audio became 192 kbps 5.1 rather than 2 ch.
Is this a bug or intentional?

Here the .avs:
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.37.05 (beta)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VIDEO\BD_Rebuilder\tools\nicaudio.dll")
audio=NicAC3Source("00000.track_4352.ac3").Amplify(1.2)
audio = (AudioChannels(audio) > 6) ? GetChannel(audio,1,2,3,4,7,8) : audio
ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))

ConvertAudioTo16bit(ResampleAudio(audio, 48000))The settings in SETUP don't apply to alternate output -- they only apply to BD output. The ALTERNATE output settings are very limited and are established in ALTERNATE.TXT (in the MISC folder).

I don't see, though, how it could ever come out to 192Kbs for ALTERNATE/DVD-5 DD5.1 (unless you have modified ALTERNATE.TXT). DVD-5 should always use 448Kbs for 5.1. I'll look at it.

[Edit] Well -- I stand corrected. It does use the selected audio settings (in SETUP) in ALTERNATE DVD-5 and DVD-9 encoding. Good catch. The AVS creation doesn't consider the fact that ALTERNATE DVD uses those settings and that's why the conversion from DD5.1->DD2.0 isn't done. I'll fix it for the next release.

[Sharc]

....I'll fix it for the next release.
Most important: first get your ankle fixed!
Perhaps you can have a look at my earlier post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1482051#post1482051)where I managed to produce a non-compliant blu-ray stream.

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs
My source is AVC 1080i 25fps, MBAFF, but content is progressive.
DB-RB encoded it as 1080p25 (progressive) which is not blu-ray compliant (correct me if I am wrong).
Should I have selected "Use DECOMB filter on interlaced sources" in the setup and insert DEINTERLACER_TYPE=4 in the .ini for this source?You shouldn't have to do anything special. I'm not sure how BD-RB could encode it to 1080p25, since that isn't even one of the options it follows -- but I'll look. It the original is interlaced, BD-RB will always reencode it interlaced. If you use DECOMB it will encode it as progressive but flag it ("fake-interlaced") as interlaced.

No preprocessing? I know there are tools that will create a BD structure and flag the video as 1080 25fps progressive (even though it is illegal). I'm not sure what BD-RB will do if it is fed bad information.

No preprocessing. DGIndexNV and MediaInfo report the ripped stream as MBAFF, 25fps. DB-RB reports 1080i, 25fps. TSMuxer reports "Resolution: 1920:1080i, Frame rate: 25". eac3to reports "h264/AVC, 1080i50 (16:9)".
The actual content however is progressive (identical field pairs, similar to most 'interlaced' DVDs). So it seems it would be a candidate for progressive encoding with --fake interlaced, but it looks as if --fake interlaced got lost somewhere along the chain.

Added:
Converting the same source in Alternate Mode to PAL DVD-5:
Script:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\VIDEO\BD_Rebuilder\tools\decomb521.dll")
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)
BilinearResize(720,576)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(50000,1000)
- HCenc encodes it as interlaced .m2v with 50 frames/s=100 fields/s. Content is progressive, i.e. no temporal movement between the two fields of a frame. Number of frames/fields=162'557/325'114. Movie duration 50% of the original=double speed during playback. File size too small (50%).
- TSmuxer creates the .mpv interlaced with 25 frames/s=50 fields/s. Movie duration still reported (MPC_HC) to be 50% but playback speed is now correct@25fps.
- DVDAuthor creates the .vob at 25 progressive frames. Number of frames/fields=162'549/325'098. Movie duration and playback speed correct 100% of the original.
=> The final authored DVD fills the DVD-5 medium to 53 % only, movie duration and playback speed are correct.

Added 2:
Analyzing the original once more (using AvSP) indicates that it is 217.318 fields/s = 108.659 frames/s, progressive content i.e. the temporal resolution is 108.659 frames/s. Number of frames/fields=706'523/1'413'046.
(I would assume that the odd framerates are due to rounding effects and should in fact be 100 frames/s or 200 fields/s respectively.)

Irritating ...... :confused:
Is the exceptional temporal resolution of 100 pictures/s causing the problems?
I have increasing doubts whether the original is really blu-ray compliant or is properly flagged.

Do you have "Convert SD to HD (720p)" set? That script looks like it is -- and BD-RB may be getting confused as a result. I'll follow the logic and see it that is what is happening.

If what you are saying in your second "added" statement is true, and AvSP is anywhere near right -- then the source would have to be illegal to begin with. I'd have a hard time believing a "rounding error" could result in being off by more than 8%.

Can you open the source with BDEDIT and see what the CLPI and MPLS say for video type and rate?

[Sharc]

No, it has not been set.
But probably "Resize - 1080p to 720p" has been set. I don't think this would have interfered with the Alternate Mode backup because it has always worked with other sources before.

[sonate]

I need some advice in choosing the audio streams to keep in a disc which incorporates seamless branching. For instance, the Apocalypse Now disc contains both the original and redux versions each reconstructed through two different playlists. Each M2ts or vid segment contains what appears to be two identical DTS-HD and two AC3 tracks for the movie and commentary soundtrack respectively.

I made two rebuilder compressions to 25 g each in full backup mode. the first where I kept all audio tracks, and second where I selected only the first DTS and first AC3, blanking the 2nd and 4th. I noticed the video bitrate of the second was substantially higher but the commentary on the original version was not operable but works on the redux. It appears that the movie soundtrack works on both. Of course as expected, when all the audio tracks were selected in the first encode, all commentary tracks worked fine.

Is there a rule of thumb on which audio tracks you should select when dealing with seamless branching?

[Sharc]

Thanks. I also do believe that I have seen it working before and I suspect that something may be odd with this particular stream. If you prefer I could PM you a snippet.

Added:
For comparison I took another 1080i25 stream. It doesn't show the strange frame rate anomalies as the previous one, but BD-RB nevertheless encodes it as 1080p25.

[BeNooL]

Thanks for this software.

If I may suggest a new hidden option, I think a way to force the HD audio to be kept at any target size would be nice for such cases where the audio is more important than the video like in concert BD.

I have a similar problem to Dofin (#11251). I have used AnyDVD-HD, BD Rebuilder and ImgBurn to make a movie-only BD-25 backup of The Criterion Collection Blu-Ray version of Howard's End. The disc plays fine on my Samsung BD-C5500 player, but my new Oppo BDP-93 says "Unknown Disc" and will not play it (even with the latest firmware BDP9x-38-0126). (Also, Windows Explorer with XP Home SP3 and an LG BH08LS20 Blu-Ray drive can display the file format of the original disc, but not the BD Rebuilder disk.) Any suggestions about how to get BD Rebuilder to make BD-25 disks that play on an Oppo-93?

If Windows Explorer doesn't show the contents of the disc, it's a recording problem. Try burning again.

edit - OOPS, probably should have put this request in the Features request thread, sorry. Unfortunately it just doesn't work. If you get below 8.5GB (the point at which HD audio is no longer kept) there just isn't room for HD audio.

Bluray burners are cheap and quality BD-R media is now cheaper than DVD DL's. You should considering switching over to this medium if you're interested in keeping HD audio with a watchable video bit rate.

[HatchetMan]

Has anyone copied Harry Potter and the order of the Phoenix ? I have copied Harry Potter 1 - 4 with no problems.
when I go to open the file on my hardrive I get "Selected source is not BD format" That is in movie only mode.
Now if I put it in full backup it opens, but shows over 5 hours of time?? If I try to run it it says "Target to small" to 25 gb disc.
I don't get it!
I re ripped it to the hardrive 3 times,that didnt work, AnyDVD HD 6.7.8.0
went and got a new disc same thing.

BDinfo shows 2hrs 18 min, and it will play in TmT 3
Looking for any ideas ?
Thanks
Same error occurring here with same title. Tried 2 different original copies ripped with AnyDVD HD and DVDFab HD Decrypter, BD-RB does not like!

Started out with using AnyDVD HD to rip the disc and then wanted to use BDRB to make it small enough for a dvd5.

But it reaches about 67,40%, and then i get this result:

Hi! Are you low on hard drive space?

Hehe got 70gb on the hdd that i have as working folder. :) So cant be lack of harddrive space.

Just tried a full disc rebuild.

It stops at the same point in the same file. Can it be corrupt or?.

Anybody experience the issue of blocking (see enclosed picture)? I am seeing this on most if not all encoding on bd rebuilder. I am using version 0.37.04 on windows xp. I followed recommendation 8. which will allow WMV11 codec to be used. That did not improve the situation. My encode settings are high quality, one pass abr, targeted to a BD-25.

If you are getting blocking with output to BD-25, it is most likely a problem with the decoding. The bitrates involved in BD-25 are unlikely to ever result in blocking unless the source is super large (like 6 hours or more).

Run INSPECT.EXE -- I suspect that somehow the CODEC is a problem in the frame serving. It's possible that some other program you have installed in intercepting and using an inferior CODEC.

I'll make a stupid comment here, see if it applies to your situ. I had run the anime 'Akira' through BD-RB, and was getting really bad blocking issues in the playback, even though it was to a BD-25. I went back through the settings, and found that the primary track was Japanese, and both the English and Japanese tracks were being kept as full quality DTS-HD, which was pushing the video down to something ridiculous like 150Kbps.

I decided to drop the Japanese track completely as a test, and that did the trick; the video came through at around 8000Kbps. :rolleyes:

Or insert --interlaced to x264 cmd line...

Thanks???? If the source is interlaced the output will be interlaced unless you have set deinterlacing on.

If it doesn't have "--tff", "--bff", or "--fake-interlaced" in it already -- it shouldn't be there.

I am recording some movies from my tivo (1080i, 384kbps DD) which I remove commercials from and then use tsMuxer to convert them to BDs which works fine. This gives me a BD file of about 16GB for a 2 hr movie that plays fine when burned with imgburn to a BD disc.

Due to cost and since these are from TV channels (most have station ID's etc in the lower corners), I decided to use BDRB to reencode most of these to fit on BD-9 discs. However, I am getting no audio when using BDRB on these files. When I open the file in BDRB, I see the video and the audio, but the audio has a red "x" beside it and says AUD_001 AC3 Multi-Ch. Unknown. I can double click the "x" and it changes to a Windows Media player icon. However, no matter what I do I get a file out of BD-RB with no audio at all. Here is the MediaInfo results from the file I am trying to reencode. Suggestions?

I think I'm getting close on this. Could you try this again without "Resize - 1080p to 720p" set and let me know how it behaves?

Thanks.
It doesn't help. It's enoded progressive 1080p/25.

BD Rebuilder experienced an error 1801 [20:17:46] ReencodeAudio() 00075 1801

Can you please tell me what it is because Ive never had it before come up?

Thanks

???? If the source is interlaced the output will be interlaced unless you have set deinterlacing on.

If it doesn't have "--tff", "--bff", or "--fake-interlaced" in it already -- it shouldn't be there.
Isn't this the same as I observed in my case? Interlaced sources are encoded progressive ....

Isn't this the same as I observed in my case? Interlaced sources are encoded progressive .... I really can't tell -- all I got was a question about adding "--interlaced" to the command line.

Isn't this the same as I observed in my case? Interlaced sources are encoded progressive ....FWIW, I found the same thing (http://club.myce.com/f142/bd-rebuilder-interlaced-input-interlaced-output-319550/) you did with v 0.37.03 (haven't tried any newer versions). Interlaced BD's are encoded as progressive. However, since my source was not untouched (already run through Clown BD to make it movie only) I did not post anything here. I eventually did the whole process manually instead of using BD Rebuilder.

FWIW, I found the same thing (http://club.myce.com/f142/bd-rebuilder-interlaced-input-interlaced-output-319550/) you did with v 0.37.03 (haven't tried any newer versions). Interlaced BD's are encoded as progressive. However, since my source was not untouched (already run through Clown BD to make it movie only) I did not post anything here. I eventually did the whole process manually instead of using BD Rebuilder. I don't get it. I've done hundreds of interlaced sources... especially 720x480i and they all encode as interlaced.

I haven't had much opportunity to work on BD-RB the last few days. I'll run a 1080i/25fps source through tomorrow. If it encodes incorrectly I will fix it and hopefully get a version out either late tomorrow or Sunday.
