Just a quick thought have you consider option show encoder. This way you can check what exactly encoder is doing during execution and may provide insight.

All the message is print on cmd window and may hold a clue to problem.

Are you asking Jdobbs if he has considered adding this option or are you telling me this option exists?

[HWK]

This option exist in bd-rb and look in hidden options

Thanks, will check it out for future encodings.

Edit: New issue. Encoding Avatar Collector's Edition (2D, the disc with the 3 different cuts).
Tried doing a movie-only BD25 of the extendedest cut of the film.

My first go I only kept the first full English subtitle track (#1). My hardware player showed a second subtitle track and it was forced enabled, but there's no Navi there. It's completely blank.

I checked the SUP file in BDSup2Sub and EAC3to and I was surprised that none of the Navi has forced flags on that track.

So second go I kept track 1 (the full English) and track 6 (Navi only) and set track 6 to FORCED.
This time on playback (in software anyway), there are 2 tracks and both are turned off and an empty 'forced' track is on by default... not the track 6 that I set to be forced. I haven't done a test burn, but I don't expect it to work.

I know Avatar has been a nightmare BD to work with for subtitles, but I can't understand the ghost forced track that is taking precedence over my manually set forced track. (No I don't want to hard code the Navi instead.) Suggestions?

Edit 2: Test burned anyway... works fine on hardware player. No idea why neither VLC nor MPC-HC recognizes the track forced by BD-RB, but that's fine for this disc.

JDobbs, my question is on 3D movies backing up as 2D -
I'm trying to make a backup of the 3D version of Planes to just a normal 2D movie - I had the "Process 3D Video source as 2D for backup" and the full disk backup went fine. The resultant BD25 plays fine on my computer and looks great but when I try it in my standalone player it complains and says it can't play 3D movies (which it can't and why I was trying to convert it in the first place) and refuses to treat it as a 2D movie or play it at all. Am I missing a setting somewhere that would take the 3D source and make it into a "real" 2D movie that my standalone will recognize ? Thanks

[andref4]

Thats not a BD-RB Problem. The Problem is the Backup of the Video on your HDD and the (3D) copy protection. If you want to watch 3D movies on 2D TVs or Standalone Players or if you plan to encode a 3D movie to 2D with BD-RB, you MUST set Options to emulate an 3D TV in your BD Copy to HDD Software before you backup your movie to HDD. After that you will have no Problems with your 2D standalone Player and/or 2D TV

[bjones]

I didn't think it was a BD-RB problem, I was sure there was a option I didn't understand in there somewhere

I was backing up coming straight off the 3D disk to BD-RB with decryption handled as it processed. Based on above I found the simulate 3D device there - that must be the missing checkbox, thanks !

With that checked do I also need to use the copy 3D as 2D setting in BD-RB as well or is it unnecessary or even harmful ?

thanks

[HWK]

OK, let me explain

1. Some disc only have 3d only version they achieve this by adding code in disc which tell player only to play in 3d even if you create 2d backup

2. In your case you need to defeat this check, plus make it 2d copy. Bd-rb does the second one for you by making 2d version, however check are still there.

3. What you have done in latest post is correct and you back in Bd-rb. Make sure process 3d source as 2d is checked. Basically you need both option enabled one in bd-rb and one in program decrypting disc.

4. Enjoy when ready

v0.50.07, Movie-Only Backup - Alternate Movie-Only Output (MKV Container, 1920x1080, 384Kbs DD5.1), Two Pass Target Size checked.

On the Stream tab if I right-click a subtitle and click "Turn subtitle ON", the subtitle shows [FORCED ON]. When I play the finished mkv the subtitle defaults to "OFF" and I have to turn it "ON" to see it. I'm trying to do the opposite - default "ON" and can turn "OFF" If I don't want to see it.

[DoctorM]

Don't know if it is a bug, or just something I don't understand the reason for, but I've found that if you enable "Quicker Encode For Extras", the order of the streams changes from order of the tracks to smallest to largest file size (I think). Is this intentional?

Yes, this is by design

Everytime I log into a forum or site its a complaint. SO I will start this issue with.

A) I've read some of the trivial comments, "this doesn't work" ones and hope I don't leave any like that
B) Bd-rebuilder is no TRIVIAL program, it took me 2 days to write a directory display program years ago and that ONLY displays file info!
C) I find it amazing that anyone should keep such a complex program viable on donations only (which I've not done in a while myself)
D) When it works its champagne & Fireworks time, When it doesn't where do I get a gun

So with this in mind, my dts to ac3 conversion problems have escalated into a Demux issue, bd-rebuilder fails after xxx hours then says failure and gives me a mux error, I JUST re-installed everything (again) and am running the may 15th version. my dts to ac3 help was not going anywhere so I manually converted the audio files - ran them through a muxer to synce the audio - planted them back into bd-rebuilder after caching the previous operation soad not to take another 22 hours of re-encoding etc... and managed now for 3 months.

My question here is simple... Is there a more efficient way to determine if Codecs, (av) Sync, Overbuffer splitters are all OKAY - the direct menu "inspect" feature was a good add-on (although you could have changed the message from "OK "to "what are you kiddin me, NOT INSTALLED" ) for those of us who have college educations but never read manuals, tabs, big blue error messages that cover our screens.

So if this fail I will report the bug, but in all likelihood its a small thing that brainiac (me) probably missed to check that always nails his Donkey's behind.

Duf

[gonca]

can you post your inspect results and maybe a screenshot of a m2ts file in graphstudionext

[Lathe]

...nail a Donkey's behind.

Duf

Uhhh... If you want to talk about that, perhaps you're looking for a DIFFERENT kind of forum... :cool:

[duftopia]

Here is the inspect run, a .jpg screen shot of the .mts files and a videomedia spec of the largest .mts file presumably the main movie.

Underworld Awakening (movie only encoding) I'm getting a problem with the subtitles gradually going out of sync.
Dunno if it's because the movie is split across multiple M2TS or not. I compared source/encode frames and they match up. I've ripped the subs manually using TSMuxer and compared source/encode and the time codes match.

Yet, the encode has subs that drift later and later, and the source doesn't have an issue. I'm open to suggestions. Log follows:

Titanic 3D to 2D:

Hello all. Would someone else whom has "Titanic 3D" check that disk 1 enables creating an MKV looking good around 1:07:11 and BD after importing? Make sure you remove or don't add the blank second M2TS to the end. You might have to use MKVMerge, I do. Use MKV Intact Video and whatever audio...then import it. I've noticed video glitches that aren't due to a bad BD rip. Using current version of BD Rebuilder. I don't have any use for 3D other than the full screen. I do have "Process 3D Video source as 2D backup" set. :)

@ HWK

I am not in any hurry. Best I've noticed an ooollldder version of TSmuxeR with current BD-RB produces a clean video but fails with other stuff, as I suspected it would. So, after a bit I'll check for an update. Anyway, during this heat wave, continuing with tests. Yup, I have tried with a stock config and version of TSmuxeR that came with 50.07. Ahh, I just noticed I left MULTIPROCESS on, bugger...that's next.

Windows 10 question:

I recently updated to windows 10, bd-rebuilder open up fine, but when I click on each segment and preview it, I got the BSOD about Nvlddmkm. I installed the latest nvidia driver as well. Can someone look into this to see if they are having issue and what the fix is? Thank you

Last time I check Nvidia drivers had problem with win 10

Thats a driver issue. Doubt it's a BDRB problem. You have to realise, WinX is barely a few days old. Drivers may work (partially) on a new operating system when it comes out but they are NEVER fully compatible/stable. Driver problems such as yours are exactly why i NEVER upgrade immediately to a new OS when it comes out. I always wait a few weeks/months (or even until the first service pack comes out) before i update. This is to ensure that driver manufacturers have had sufficiënt time to make them fully compatible.

Since you know when it happens, you could simply use VLC or something to open the m2ts files instead of the rightclick preview function in the mean time until the nvidia drivers get fully compatible.

[xterminater]

the latest nvidia drivers are fully compatible with windows 10 per nvidia site. I wonder why it's not working.

From Geforce Experience:

NVIDIA has been working closely with Microsoft on the development of Windows 10 and DirectX 12. Coinciding with the arrival of Windows 10, this Game Ready driver includes the latest tweaks, bug fixes, and optimizations to ensure you have the best possible gaming experience.

Game Ready
Best gaming experience for Windows 10, Windows 8.1, Windows 7, and Windows XP

They can claim all they want, not believing it for a second. If what you said is true: articles like this one http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/windows-10-how-fix-nvidia-driver-issues-after-upgrade-1513643 wouldn't exist. And this one is from the NVIDIA FORUMS: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/860152/geforce-drivers/official-windows-10-353-62-game-ready-display-driver-feedback-thread-7-29-15-/44/

nothing but crashes where the latest post states the older 350 driver works better than the latest one.

As the saying goes: the proof is in the pudding.

[xterminater]

so I should use the old 350 driver?

[xterminater]

HWK does have a point... I'm wondering if it's the MPC player itself?

[Ch3vr0n]

That's a decision I can't make for you, that's one you have to make yourself. But if you take into account what's being said on the nvidia forums that driver is anything BUT stable and only confirms what I said earlier.

I will try 350.12 and report back. Crosses fingers...

[MrVideo]

3. What you have done in latest post is correct and you back in Bd-rb. Make sure process 3d source as 2d is checked. Basically you need both option enabled one in bd-rb and one in program decrypting disc.
I do not recall seeing such an option in DVDFab9. Is it labeled differently?

EDIT: Found it. It is "Enable 3D disc to be played on 2D player"

[HWK]

HWK does have a point... I'm wondering if it's the MPC player itself?
Consider it is very old and longer developed. It may very well be the case of player.

You can always check since it is included with bd-rb.

it works guys! I can confirmed that nvidia 350.12 DO NOT cause crashes. Now, hopefully nvidia will release their updated driver soon!

edit 1: I spoke too soon! It crashed again on a preview of a different blu-ray

Titanic 3D to 2D - Update.

I found a work-around. Using current TSmuxeR (in BD-RB package) with TSmuxeR's GUI 2.6.12 and changing to "Do not change SEI and VUI data" setting (I'm not aware of what this means..) for video when muxing MKV to a BD directory. This makes it possible to make 2 BD directories (of both BDs) to "import" with BD-RB. So, I'm guessing that option is needed(?) and is what's causing the video corruption I noticed. Then, not really a BD-RB bug, per se...but might want to check it. IF I'm missing something please toss in a hint. :) Otherwise, yay, and with a sweet menu.

Update: BD Player played as through frames were being skipped. Next idea..

Titanic 3D to 2D - Update.
I'm curious... Since there is a real Titanic 2D release available, why the exercise to convert the 3D to 2D?

[Ch3vr0n]

Perhaps because he doesn't want to buy the same movie a second time when you can achieve the same with a $2 backup and a couple hours of time

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met Tapatalk

[MrVideo]

The Titanic 3D release is a 4-disc set: 3D (x2), 2D and bonus. In this case, the real 2D release is part of the package. Also, every 3D release will have a 2D version, either that or the 3D disc will do either. You don't get 3D without also getting 2D.

Wrong, take avatar 3d for example. That's a 3d only movie, not a 2d/3d hybrid. There are plenty of 3d movies that are 3d only, the Java code on the disc can be made so that it only plays 3d.

Not every movie has a 2d version on the disc or in the packaging. Getting 3d without 2d is not unusual.

The Avatar 3D release that I have has two BD discs, one 3D and one 2D. I guess I only manage to get the ones that have both. :D

I already shared that but here it is again. :) Titanic 3D is using full screen, 2D is letterboxed (Black borders which crop the image). Though I'm OKAY with that, I much prefer full screen when possible. I'm picky that way, haha! I'm also playing around with 3D stuff JDobbs has done. The 3D experience isn't all that "Wow!!" to me...so I'm not buying the hardware for it...and I want to keep Cinavia infected ( :) ) hardware out of my home as much as possible for a while.

Or..

Blu-ray 3D presents the film in 1.78:1 whereas the regular Blu-ray upholds the original 2.35:1 theatrical framing.

[MrVideo]

Too many postings in this thread, so sorry that I missed the posting where you shared the info.

Since Avatar was released full screen via IMAX 3D, which is how I viewed it in the theater (it was great 3D in the theater), I can understand wanting what was released. I will be getting a 3D projector in the future. I have the player. Unfortunately it is infected with Cinavia, though the Avatar release it not (since it is not Sony, Universal, Lionsgate).

Thanks for sharing.

Literally not any worries. It was a recent post which is why I typed that. I don't see 3D with those glasses like most. I see it all a bit distorted, and I haven't practiced enough to make the changes needed to view it as intended. So, it's not fun to me.

That is unfortunate. To really tell if the 3D is working for you in a theater is during an IMAX presentation, where they have the leader-type countdown in 3D. The depth is amazing.

I've not seen any home theater 3D yet.

BTW, I'm looking a getting a Samsung 3D player that is before Cinavia. There is one available on e-bay.

[AmigaFuture]

That is unfortunate.

I don't agree that luck exists (another term for un/fortunate) in my highly vast experiences, since I was very small to now. As I commented, I could change my mind (and eyes) [through Buddha teachings] but I haven't done so, yet. So, 3D and I...maybe some time will be friends, but from a plethora of so much I want to do, it's not important. :)

I have 4 LG devices that are clones of each other and I've tested and checked them well. In very good shape, and well matched for what Slysoft is doing (I give a poo less about the programs/[Apps], that's what my Desktop/Notebook are for. I'm also skilled enough to replace parts if needed. I agree with Eddie Haskle. I ALSO agree with "Fair Play" idea totally!! Why should I have to buy it twice or thrice unless something is so outdated and gone from reproduction?? That's a hardware comment not software (BD). Nothing is gone from reproduction, they have vast archives. That older movie somehow made it to BD. Progress is cool, I agree, and my players are still compatible without that @!$%@ Audio Virus in them. I like Samsung, but my LG is also awesome. I also want locally made products again. Okay, back to thread...MP if need be. :)

Backed up a BD yesterday but the output disc wouldn't display the menus (the background video played but no overlay menus). Problem is I've wiped the work/output folder, could I provide some info without repeating the entire process? Only discrepancy on my setup seems AviSynth, could it cause that? Also, backup was made on Win 10, now reverted to 8.1.

[Weirdo]

This (http://someimage.com/m9IMrfB) is the entire original BD. There's also another id.bdmv file (same size) at the end that's cropped from the pic (inside the CERTIFICATE folder).

I meant the contents of the output folder (after processing).Yes, that's the one that has been wiped off. Guess I'll have to re-encode the disc.

[camj1970]

My apologies upfront if I am posting to the wrong forum. I did look for a place to submit suggestions.

Are there any plans to add the ability to hardcode subtitles into the alt movie/mkv output?
Or perhaps there is one already and I just missed it.

Search the thread for "Sup Title"

[jdobbs]

Yes, that's the one that has been wiped off. Guess I'll have to re-encode the disc.It has to be somewhere -- on the output disc or the output folder. It doesn't make a lot of sense to run a job for a few hours if you're not going to get SOME output.

i can't see a command in hiddenopts.txt to hardcode subs into mkv but feature requests for BDRB go here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144046

that said, why would you want them hardcoded, mkv supports selectable subtitles in the container

No, I think you got past my initial post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1733062&postcount=23047). I've wiped the output folder myself. :p

Menus weren't working and I quickly needed the disk space. Not a smart move, indeed. I'll post back when I'll re-encode it.

So has no one found subtitles that go out of sync when rebuilding using movie-only?
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1732332#post1732332

I kind of feel like my post got ignored.

[SquallMX]

When blanking titles without an audio track (mostly annoying legal warnings) BDRebuilder replace them with a black screen of 0.480 secs with an audio track (audio id 1100). This causes a error in the internal logic of most Warner titles related to predefined audio tracks for languages other than English, that results in the main movie playing using the main audio track (audio id 1100) instead of the proper dub track (audio id 1101/1102/1103...).

Nobody can help me for fast7 backup?

[techno1]

BTW, I'm looking a getting a Samsung 3D player that is before Cinavia. There is one available on e-bay.

Samsung BD-D6500 and BD-D6700 are 2011 3D models that should not have Cinavia implemented.

You have a weird problem, yesterday i rebuild the same movie without problem, but the disc i rebuild is from another region (the one you have comes with ita audio track)

[gamete]

It'S the first time that i have this problem

[MrVideo]

Samsung BD-D6500 and BD-D6700 are 2011 3D models that should not have Cinavia implemented.

Neither should the BD-C6800, which should be here any day now. It is in the same genre as the BD-C6500 2D player that I have. It is not 3D.

A good clue that a Samsung won't have Cinavia is if it has composite and component outputs, as well as HDMI. AIUI, when HDMI only was mandated, so was Cinavia.

[techno1]

Once again after 100's of successful backups, another movie "The Equalizer", was causing me fits with jerky video and out of sync audio. First I thought it might be because it has the audio encoded with Cinavia (which it does), but the AnyDVD rip to ISO plays fine.

For years and years I've been using the same setup parameters with 100% success, until recently.

I'll cut to the chase:

I've had the Output Option set to Custom Target Size (24000MB) for years. Apparently for unknown reasons (to me), BD-RB decides to skip re-encoding when this size is chosen on some movie only rebuilds. And again, this just started happening about a month ago.

I've changed the Output Option to Target Size BD-25, and all is good once again! I'll never go back to Custom Size.

In an effort to resolve and isolate this issue, I downloaded the demo version of CloneBD, and found it to be useless as it could not locate the main movie on startup. Kudos to jdobbs for creating a program that actually works quite well 99.9% of the time :)

Here are the clipped logs from the unsuccessful and then successful backups of The Equalizer:

It's supposed to do that. It just happens that this source will fit without reencoding. If you want to force an encode -- set FORCE_ENCODE=1 in your config file.I've changed the Output Option to Target Size BD-25, and all is good once again! I'll never go back to Custom Size.That just means the size of the source fell somewhere between the two settings.

I understand, however, if it does fit without re-encoding, what causes the jerky video with out of sync audio?

I understand, however, if it does fit without re-encoding, what causes the jerky video with out of sync audio?I can't imagine. I've done the U.S. version of that disc with no issues (except, of course, the Cinavia).

hi jdobbs, i use your unique program from years now, and make little donations sometimes.
i always used to get the movie only.

Now i'd like to use it to save the full disc with menu and main movie only (no trailers and add-on) without rencoding!
there is a guide somewhere?
If no i'll try by myself, but if someone know a good guide i'd like to read it.
thanks :)

Can you help me for backup fast 7 ?

[Ch3vr0n]

There's has to be something on your system or rip that's doing that. Backup went just fine here, watching as we speak. 1h, no sound issues at all so far.

My original post with BD Rebuilder log: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1732332#post1732332

The problem: Subtitles drift out of sync. By about half way through people were finishing their lines about the same time the subs were appearing on the screen.

What I found: The movie has seamless branching. I tried just letting BD Rebuilder make an un-reencoded movie-only disc. The subtitles were still out of sync.
I tried building a movie only disc manually with TSMuxerGUI, and the subtitles were still out of sync.

Apparently the bug is in TSMuxerGUI.

3 reasons why I think BD Rebuilder should start using Eac3to:
Eac3to is still being developed, Eac3to is capable of decoding DTS HD MA properly thanks to libDcaDec, and Eac3to handles reconstruction of seamless branched movies better.

Hopefully my wasted time and this info will make someone else's life easier.

Is anyone having problems since updating to Windows 10?

I did a batch of 3D blurays a few months ago, and BD Rebuilder was the only way I could get the SBS movies to display properly on Xbox one (if I used any other tool it was just showing a full screen 2D image). So I'm back trying to remember how to use this tool with two new movies - Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, and Dredd.

I have used the backup option in MakeMKV to back the discs up to my HDD, and then I have browsed to the folder in BD Rebuilder. But when I do, I get the error "BD Rebuilder experienced an errror 2501 [20:39:35] SourceCheck() 000552501". When I click 'ok' it pops up another dialog box with 'Selected source is not BD format'. The Scanning source directory box stays on the screen though, and if I move the BD rebuilder window the Scanning Source bit stays where it was.

Any suggestions?

edit: I did the 'run as admin to fix LAV filters'. When I check help/inspect I get all ok except

- TSMUXER: Wrong version found
- FRIMEncode: Wrong version found
- FRIMDecode: Wrong version found

I haven't changed anything since the last time I used it, except last time was v0.50.02 I think

trying both Dredd and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. Both are European discs (Dredd Belgian and Cloudy UK) and are region free ABC.

It is odd because the various elements used by BD Rebuilder are self-contained within the BD Rebuilder folder I think, so I don't know why they are reporting as incorrect? And as mentioned, I've done 3D blurays before with no problem.

I'll re-rip another disc I know has been through this process just to double check.

[mrklaw]

ok, ripping top gun 3D using MakeMKV backup, then using a fresh copy of BD Rebuilder and scanning the backup folder I get the errors

"BD Rebuilder experienced and error 2603 [timestamp] ScanDirectory( 00006 2603"
OK
"BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2705 [timestamp] BuildTreeList() 00009 2705"
OK

it then seems to proceed and shows the basic structure of the disc. It still complains a few times when selecting the mode, but it does appear to eventually encode.

Going back and trying Dredd or Cloudy and no joy again - same error. I've tried redoing the backup from makeMKV as well.

I wonder if win 10 causing issues

Sent from my SM-G900W8 using Tapatalk

[andref4]

no problems here with BD-Reb on my Win 10 test PC. I know that Cloudy 2 3D is has Multiangel playlists but bd-reb can handel this but you MUST create ISO Backups of your 3D movies and not copy the hole movie to hdd Folder. Mount the 3D iso and use it with BD-Rebuilder. If I try to backup Cloudy 2 3D from HDD Folder the backup is corrupt and faulty and movie stops at a few minutes.

Please try another program to copy your movies to HDD and if you have a 3D movie, please create ISOs and dont copy it to HDD Folder.

[mrklaw]

how do I create isos? using the backup mode of makeMKV has given me no problems in the past. I was wondering if cloudy was going to cause trouble but Dredd should be fine - and it isn't even getting to the encoding stage, it is crapping out before it does anything.

I'm going to try on my kids laptop - not very powerful but at least it'll help me understand if win10 is doing something odd. Will have to copy 20+GB of rip across to it though.

edit: I have also tried with DVD Fab in the background which should allow BD Rebuilder to work directly from the disc - like AnyDVD HD would. That gave the same error when opening the disc.

edit2: Working fine on kids laptop with a fresh install on win 8.1. Confused. It is now doing a very slow encode with the source file being accessed over the network :)

Hopefully any issues with win10 get sorted. I can manage with one or two encodes on the laptop but not sustainable

[Ch3vr0n]

Right click the anydvd fox tray icon > rip to image, all done. The fact that MakeMKV worked in the past means nothing, 3D discs work differently than 2D disc and the main cause of that is the ssif files.

I don't have anyDVD HD - I was doing fine with MakeMKV. Is it worth buying?

I've ripped about 10 3D discs before with no issues, using BD Rebuilder to make half SBS 1080p output. I actually had to switch to BD Rebuilder because the Xbox one doesn't play the output of other tools properly in plex - there seems to be some difference in the profile or something.



It does seem to be win10 at least on my machine as I've done 3D discs in the past and the makeMKV backup seems to be working on the other computer. I just don't know why - I've reinstalled all the elements as per the readme.txt.

[Ch3vr0n]

i can't speak for MakeMKV i don't use that. Check if your DVDFab thing can rip to image. Same thing, and if that don't work, make one with IMGBurn as long as a decrypter is running. Whatever you use, if you want the disc structure to be copied correctly AND avoid a rip that's twice the size of the source disc you need to rip to an disc image (ISO or equivalent). There's no way around that

[AmigaFuture]

Right click the anydvd fox tray icon > rip to image, all done. The fact that MakeMKV worked in the past means nothing,..

Sure it does. Perhaps that was a mistype you did? One is always able to learn from the past how a program functions or changes function; or how programs shares functionality with other programs. It's why programmers are able to exchange, and why SourceForge exists. :)

@ HWK & JDobbs

I resolved Titanic 3D to 2D graphical glitches when making an MKV from Blu-ray disk 1. The challenge was with my SSD and OP (Over Provisioning) it seems(?). I'm still checking that. I've been able to make my own BD-50 with a cool menu and break between what would an intermission. I also made another by updating my BD 2D with 3D's Full Screen (rerendering needed). Thus far all visuals are as 2D should be. I appreciate the offer of help from you to check it.

Thanks.

[mparade]

First of all thank you very much for the great software.

I have found the following possible "issues" in version 050.07:

1.When using in the config file e.g. "AVSFilter01"=p:.....,
this line affects interlaced sources as well. For example, in case of a BD, it (filter1) affects the interlaced sources as well, so it doesn't limit the use of filter1 to the progressive sources.

2. if one wants to use his/her deinterlacer on an interlaced source by using a filter, even in that case the x264 command line will contain a "--tff" option, although the source which is loaded in x264 is progressive already due to the use of filter.
Will -tff option not cause an issue on a progressive input?

3. if one use a deinterlacer (through filter) after setting "deinterlacer_type"=4 and with "Use Deinterlacer on interlaced sources" switched on, the x264 command line will get --fake-interlaced option, but filter1 is missing completely from the AVS file, consequently the input is being processed without using filter(1).

4.if one wants to use his/her deinterlacer on an interlaced source by using a filter, even in that case the x264 command line will contain a "--tff" option, although the source which is loaded in x264 is progressive already due to the use of filter.
After switching on "Convert SD to HD" SeparateFields() and Weave() are inserted as well after filter1 (after the progressive input). Will SeparateFields() and Weave() not cause an issue on a progressive input?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[jdobbs]

@mparade

I'll take a look at #1. But for all the others -- you just can't do deinterlacing through the use of filters. There's no way for BD-RB to know that you are doing it -- and therefore change the settings in the output so it is flagged as progressive.

I may be able to create a way in which you can setup an independent filter and (possibly) select it via DEINTERLACER_TYPE=5, or maybe create a new flag that assumes progressive. I'd have to look at it.

[MrVideo]

if one wants to use his/her deinterlacer on an interlaced source by using a filter [...]

I've never figured out why people want to deinterlace pure video content. IMHO, it reduces vertical resolution and spacial time. No matter how "good" the deinterlace filter is, you are still trying to combine two separate fields into a single frame. The more the spacial time difference between the fields, the more the vertical resolution is affected.

The only "deinterlacing" that I do really isn't and that is because I do IVTC on 2:3 pulldown 29.97 video to 23.976. In that case the fields are left intact. Pure 1080i I leave well enough alone.

I agree. 29.97i video should only be deinterlaced to 59.94p IMHO.

[MrVideo]

I agree. 29.97i video should only be deinterlaced to 59.94p IMHO.

29.97i should be left as 29.97i. 1080p59.94 is not part of the Blu-ray spec. So, BDR should not attempt to build anything at that rate.

[mparade]

29.97i should be left as 29.97i. 1080p59.94 is not part of the Blu-ray spec. So, BDR should not attempt to build anything at that rate.

Just for information: "Many current Blu-ray players and recorders can read and write 1920×1080 video at the full 60p and 50p progressive format, For example: Panasonic DMR-BWT720"

I am going to use QTGMC deinterlacer, I have tested it in BD-RB and the results were great. You should give it a try in my opinion. The output can be (depending on the source) at single or double-frame rate. Enabling double-frame rate output would be much better but as you told that will violate the BD-standard, although almost surely playable on current players.

Hmmm ... but many blu-ray players will spit non-compliant discs out (like mine for example), and jdobbs will get all the complaints ....
So if at all 1080p could be a Alternate output option in BD-RB.
Almost always I encode 1080i as interlaced, or exceptionally as 720p bobbed (double rate) which is blu-ray compliant. Especially for shaky hand-held videocam clips I don't like to loose temporal resolution.

Pure 1080i I leave well enough alone.It depends on the player. Some of them (especially PC software) either play it really poorly, or deinterlace it poorly. If it's going to be deinterlaced at playback anyway, it may be better to just do it with a (better) deinterlacer of your choice.

[DoctorM]

You could always go with 720p60. Sure you are losing a little resolution on width, but the height of 1080i is really only 540 lines once you separate fields. There's minimal quality loss, all the frame rate, and it is BD compliant.

Still, most modern electronics handle interlaced content just fine. Deinterlacing is really unnecessary.

I may be able to create a way in which you can setup an independent filter and (possibly) select it via DEINTERLACER_TYPE=5, or maybe create a new flag that assumes progressive. I'd have to look at it.

@jdobbs
After playing a bit with all the four of the letters the only "issue" I found is that p: affects interlaced sources as well. The other letters seem to be functioning as they should.

[Edit] Got it. The only time it should be included on an interlaced source is if you have deinterlacing turned on (meaning you are converting to progressive). The code I was using was logically backwards.

I made some MKVs from my TiVo MPEG-2 sources so I could include the Closed Captions extracted from the MPEG-2's. Then I had BD-RB import the MKVs. During the Multiplexing process of the first video a pop-up displays this error as it's at the end of the process.

[Update 1]: I don't know what's causing it, yet, but if I exit BD-RB after the prompt, and run it again and resume...it does the multiplexing and continues to the next encode. I'm still testing and haven't played the results.

[AmigaFuture]

I have another odd bug. Once after another I imported an MPEG-2 to be sure BD-RB would handle it. Once that was confirmed, I deleted IMPORT and WORKFILES directories after exiting BD-RB, which shouldn't be required. Run BD-RB again, this time select the file in the list as a group to active the Menu Editor. I selected bottom to top to keep the numbering correct. This is what happened.

For your information, I then used MKVMerge, first time without SRT files and it imported well. Then, exited BD-RB, deleted IMPORT and created MKVs again with SRT files. So far importing fine. I'll check the rendering next...to see if it fails like with MPEG-2..

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.50.08). Changes for this release:- Corrected an error in which, rarely, a BD
import may not recognize an episode on a
series disc.
- Updated the BD import routines so they make
proper adjustments for M2TS audio delays.
- Added a new setting for ALTERNATE output.
You can now select a target output size for
CRF encoding. BD-RB will perform prediction
passes to determine the proper CRF value.
- Corrected an issue when using Dynamic Range
Compression with LPCM sources that could
cause the audio to be blanked.
- Fixed checks so that AVISYNTH 2.6 will now
be accepted and listed as "Ok".
- Changed code so audio reencoding is forced
if DRC has been selected to be applied.
- Added new experimental CRF prediction code
that can use fewer passes. To enable it
see NEW_CRF_PREDICTION in HIDDENOPTS.TXT.
- Improved DVD import's recognition of playall
PGCs and fixed a rare possibility of on of
the episodes in series discs.
- Modified code so the state of the manually
selected IVTC items in the stream list is
retained during batch processing.
- Updated the recommended LAV Filters version
to v0.65. Updated link in README.TXT.
- Updated code to select the 64 bit version
of X265 when run on a 64 bit O/S.
- Added X265 64 bit build to install package.
- Updated the included version of X265 to a
newer release (08/23/2015).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to
the latest release (r2597).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE
to the latest release (r2597).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[TheEthic]

- Fixed checks so that AVISYNTH 2.6 will now

Now that accepts AVIsynth 2.6, I note that on the homepage is still 2.58, it means that works best with version 2.58?

[jdobbs]

Now that accepts AVIsynth 2.6, I note that on the homepage is still 2.58, it means that works best with version 2.58?No. It just implies that 2.6 isn't required.

No. It just implies that 2.6 isn't required.

Sorry, it is not a bug but could you please check why I have got this message from PayPal after trying to donate?:

Thank you.

I haven't downloaded the new version yet, but I wanted to check 50.7, and yep, same message. Heading there now...and whoops:

On the first page:

CURRENT VERSION 0.50.09 (September 13th, 2015)
[..]
You can download the BD-RB beta from this link: BD-RB v0.50.08. :D

[jdobbs]

Sorry, it is not a bug but could you please check why I have got this message from PayPal after trying to donate?:

"This recipient is currently unable to receive money."

I have tried many times with the same result.

Thank you.Paypal decided my software (DVD-RB) was somehow circumventing copyright. I explained very clearly to them that it did not. I explained that DVD-RB in no way did anything to decrypt or affect copyright in any way. They didn't care, they didn't listen, and in fact just cut me off saying the decision was final and it wasn't eligible for appeal.

So donations are not currently possible -- and, needless to say, I'm not very happy with Paypal. As a result, I'm likely to just make DVD-RB Pro available for free along with BD-RB. You'll notice the donation tab missing from BD-RB v0.50.08. I'm not sure whether I will spend any more time in development. If so it will be very little time. I've been continuing for a long time making virtually nothing on this project -- but removing the "virtually" may be the last straw.

[AmigaFuture]

Youch! As soon as I run the new version I knew something was happening. Well, I might end my dealing with Paypal if they're going to be that unaware and inform others I know to shift their business. Hmm!! What about Google Wallet, WePay, 2Checkout, Authorize.Net, Skrill, Intuit, ProPay, Click2Sell, Dwolla, Breaintree, ClickBank or Stripe?

[Ch3vr0n]

What a stupid move, though I think their idea of 'circumventing' is ''if it creates a copy, it's not a retail disc and illegal'. Decryption probably didn't even come into play.

I understand you cutting back on developing but please don't. Create a new Paypal, different method, perhaps even offer a straight up wire transfer? It's my main software to create backups, without development is only a matter of time before a serious issue pops up. My only other option is CloneBD and that's not ready for prime use or as feature packed as bdrb is.

Thank you. I'll try it.
Will a 2nd pass be initiated in case the prediction results in an oversize? (i.e. same procedure as recently implemented for BD mode?)

PayPal "concerns": I have been using BD-RB a lot for importing and processing (i.e. high-quality re-compressing) my home videocam .m2ts files (1080i50) to produce standards compliant BD discs for the family.
I would really regret if the SW would not be maintained for such odd reason.

Would it be feasible setting up a PO Box again and having donations sent directly to you?

[Ch3vr0n]

a PO box? Pretty sure it's illegal to send physical currency through the postal mail system in every country. Too easy to get stolen.

[meadrocks]

How about Bitcoin???

[AmigaFuture]

Programs can be hacked, Bitcoin is hackable/crackable and more; to me..not very secure and it's subject to being hacked, like the I.R.S., Apple iCloud, etc. I will not donate that way nor will I buy anything that way. Paysafe is okay. I agree with Warren Buffet about Bitcoin! P.O. Box's are cool, wrap cash or a Check or whatever in tin foil...can't see in/scan it then. But for most people, nahh...I use P.O. Boxes for personal transfers only. Not to mean it's not a good idea.

[jdobbs]

What a stupid move, though I think their idea of 'circumventing' is ''if it creates a copy, it's not a retail disc and illegal'. Decryption probably didn't even come into play.Actually no. Their usage policy is quite clear -- and BD-RB doesn't violate it. The bottom line is that they just don't seem to want to take the time to see if it does or doesn't.

[AmigaFuture]

Personally, I hope you keep you passion going at whatever degree you choose. It's not only notice here, but within the program - and you modify your signature to match your new choice so WE (the testers and the average user) may continue to click the link and DoNaTe icon. :D

[MrVideo]

Paypal decided my software (DVD-RB) was somehow circumventing copyright.

Hollygreed doesn't care. The fact that you work with material that came from a released Blu-ray is all that they need to declare your product aiding and abetting copyright infringement. Even though RB doesn't do the actual ripping from the Blu-ray, it still deals with copyrighted material.

Even though copyright law says that owners have a right to back up what they own, the DMCA says that it is illegal to circumvent encryption.

So, programs like RB lose out to the A-hole hollygreed machine.

[AmigaFuture]

Greed is normal for every living thing. You see it constantly if you have a broad world view. Everyone, everything wants what they/it wants. That's the essence of greed/selfishness and it's normal since the beginning of everything as is coming together for agreed stuff. As much some some...erm, some places where people gather try to dictate its horrors and wrongs, it will always remain a norm. Not everyone in Hollywood doesn't care. But most don't speak openly and make things open like Michael Moore did/does/has. JDobbs hasn't lost...he just needs to choose another method (Wink!) that CARES AND...isn't (willfully) ignorant. As I suggested a long time ago, advertise..it would help! I advocate for DVD and BD Rebuilder...sometimes/often to customers+. But, I have to be selective and careful sometimes. Getting through to people can be challenging, "It's not illegal...you OWN it, it's Fair Use! You won't have to buy it against because of your baby, or someone else careless if you MAKE copies of your original." Sometimes I'm able to go into more depth, but...if people aren't USED to something; - people have been taught fear very well of this or that and make excuses. Or their attention span is....."Uh, what...?? Oh Yeah...what?" Argh. HA!

Hmmm....I have a wild thought... I'm curious, how many of us are willing to help JD with the cost of advertising, I mean honestly?? I'm willing to toss in 100 but it'll be a lot more than that to get it going, possibly more in a couple months. Maybe I'm overstepping and too vocal (Noooo...meeeee?!), but, I dig the passion and product..hehe, I don't have the ability to be the only sponsor, by a long shot. Something for JD, more than us, to consider. Okay, I'm ...shhhing now. :) Stepping way...

So, programs like RB lose out to the A-hole hollygreed machine.The fact is that there are lots of other uses that have nothing to do with copyrighted material. How about BD-RB's ability to import video files (from cameras or recordings) and create a blu-ray. How about discs that have no copyright (e.g. wedding videos) or things you have copied from cable for your own use (via fair use) and would like to archive it? The bottom line is that you can't ban something just because it might be used for something. Otherwise hammers would have to be made illegal on the off chance someone might use it as a weapon...

[MrVideo]

I totally agree with what you have to say. But, some just do not give-a -damn, PayPal obviously one of them. To bad you can sue them. They have the money and lots of lawyers. I wonder who the idiot was that you were dealing with.

To be kinda on topic, I've seen mention about the ability of BD-RB to be able to create Blu-rays. But, I have no clue what the capabilities are and how to do it as there isn't a manual or even a forum about how-to-use BD-RB. Is menu creation available? If so, how sophisticated? Etc.

Search for "Quick-Play" and "import" in the changelog.txt, for example, starting around end of 2013. Similar in this thread.
Check out "Mode/Quick-Play backup" in BD-RB, and you should find your way.

Etc.You can import one or more video files, Blu-ray discs, or DVD discs. BD-RB will create a pseudo-BD structure. A menu will be generated during the import. Look at HIDDENOPTS.TXT to see parameters that can be modified to customize the menu (or menus if many files are being imported). There are also settings that can be made using the SETTINGS/IMPORT/Quick Play menu.

You can then re-encode that structure into a compliant BD.

[MrVideo]

Thanks guys. After I get other issues resolved, I'll play around and see what happens.

Question/Problem:
I've had BDRebuilder on my old machine for ever with no issues. I a few months ago I built a new machine and added rebuilder.
On the new machine I can never get "preview this item" to work. It always says "cannot render the file" in media player classic. I'm sure I must be missing something but I don't know what. The inspection log shows everything ok. I even looked at my old machine and made sure I have all the same stuff installed as far as I can tell. Any suggestions?

If you´re running windows 10 on your machine the reason could be a missing codec. In my opinion windows 10 is without media player at the moment.:rolleyes:

I finally got it to work by installing LAV filters. I do not have LAV filters installed on the old system just ffdshow and haali so I don't know why I had to install LAV on the new system. I preferred to keep both the same.
Yeah I had tried reinstalling everything before.

Did you have FFDSHOW installed on the new system? It really should matter which you've chosen (FFDSHOW or LAV Filters). It's possible, though, that even if you had it installed some other software intercepted the functioning of FFDSHOW and caused it to stop working. You see that often with codec packs being installed.

I just remembered, though, that the internal CODECs in MPC wouldn't apply because AVISYNTH would be encountered first and it would do the decoding (via LAV Filters or FFDSHOW).

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.50.08). Changes for this release:

Do the miscellaneous changes include, by chance, the ability to remux 3D to in-mux without requiring re-encoding capability (ie just remuxing 3D now works in XP)?

As for the PayPal issue, does it prevent someone from sending money through PayPal as a gift to your nominated email address, or is that how donation works anyway? Depending on whether you make use of Amazon, perhaps sending you an Amazon gift card could take the place of donations: I know they can't be exchanged for cash, but maybe you could use it to pay for gifts to others whom you would normally use money.

Did you have FFDSHOW installed on the new system? It really should matter which you've chosen (FFDSHOW or LAV Filters).

It is not clear to me what the difference is between the two for the performance of BD-RB. Does BD-RB work better with FFDSHOW or with LAV Filters ?

[varekai]

LAV is perhaps a bit better, more often updated, has a cleaner code, more stable, and gives less problems.
https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases

ffdshow is probably at a hold regarding updates but still very usable.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/files/

I use only LAV with BD-RB.

Edit
Added ffdshow Official Website
http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/

[jdobbs]

Exactly. LAV also supports H.265, and FFDSHOW doesn't. In addition, using FFDSHOW adds the requirement for the HAALI splitter.

I recommend LAV for use with BD-RB.

[drmih]

I've got an issue which I'm sure isn't BDRB, and occurred yesterday after Windows 10 applied some updates and restarted (this might not be related). Anyway, having done hundreds of backups, now whatever source I point at, as soon as I click start is says "DoEncoding() 00009 1501". I've reinstalled the support programs, and updated to 50.08 but still the same. I'm sure that something has got corrupted, but just wondered if anyone could assist before I start a trial and error process?

[worknstiff]

@ drmih; RE: I click start is says "DoEncoding() 00009 1501".
I had this same error yesterday when I was trying to do Close Encounters and finally had to just do a movie only. I thought that it had to do with there being 3 versions of the movie on the same disk and BD_Rebuilder thought it was too big to fit even on a BD25 disk. Maybe there is some change to how BD Rebuilder estimates the completed size now.

I'm not sure but mine does it on everything at the moment - I even tried reading in a directory I'd already converted to bd-25 a couple of days ago and that errored. Also my error occurred on a version that had worked for weeks without issue.

**Fixed now. I just changed a setting and started an encode (to dvd-5) and it worked, so I stopped it. I then put it back to bd-25 and it's fine again.

[nozuul]

Just throwing in my agreement that in Windows 10 I am getting the same error as drmih and worknstiff. I have not found a magic setting change to get things working again. Every time I hit Backup or Batch Backup, "DoEncoding() 00009 1501" pops up instantly.

I was trying to make Alternate movie only backups of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 & 2 for playback on Ipad. Changed settings to full backup, DVD5, DVD9, etc... No dice.

Just FYI

jdobbs,

The problem started out with the previous version from May, and then I updated to the new version yesterday to see if that would help but had the same problem.

@ Capsbackup; RE: Could this be the problem?

Good catch Caps, but alas it doesn't make any difference when the encoding extraction doesn't even begin before it fails. I was using the Win10 computer for something else when jdobbs asked about using v0.50.08 and just jumped on my Win7 pc to test it and it looks like I need to do some housekeeping to clear out some junk. Here is the v0.50.08 log from my Win10 computer with lots of space in the Working dir.

Did you have FFDSHOW installed on the new system? It really should matter which you've chosen (FFDSHOW or LAV Filters). It's possible, though, that even if you had it installed some other software intercepted the functioning of FFDSHOW and caused it to stop working. You see that often with codec packs being installed.

I just remembered, though, that the internal CODECs in MPC wouldn't apply because AVISYNTH would be encountered first and it would do the decoding (via LAV Filters or FFDSHOW).

Yes I had ffdshow installed on the new system and no codec packs installed.

[drmih]

So changing to BD-5 and then back to BD-25 fixed it? That's weird. That error (#00009) means there is a subscript into an array that is out-of-range. It is happening in the routine that calls the encoder (1501). I'll look through the code and see if I can find anything that correlates to changing the output size.

Just to try and help with what I know:

It was working fine at 50.07 (and had been for weeks [on Windows 10]) and Windows then updated something and asked to reboot:
Following the reboot it wouldn't work on any discs, even those done successfully the day before (I tried another couple of reboots but the same):
The program gives the error as soon as the start button is pressed:
I reinstalled all of the programs on the first page - no change:
I updated to 50.08 - no change:
I renamed the bd-rebuilder directory and put a clean version on - no change:
I went back to the original one and tried a different size setting (after someone said that movie only worked for them) - worked (however, it is possible that the last step was just a combination of things)

[worknstiff]

@ drmih; RE: I went back to the original one and tried a different size setting (after someone said that movie only worked for them)

Movie Only mode worked on a movie that fails doing Full Mode using v0.50.08

[drmih]

Mine's gone again after a reboot. Now I need to figure out what sequence of commands will fix it.

Is there a way to create MKV with both DTS Core and a 2nd audio track as AC3 5.1?

I know how in settings to do on or the other, but not sure how to include both.

[jdobbs]

Is there a way to create MKV with both DTS Core and a 2nd audio track as AC3 5.1?

I know how in settings to do on or the other, but not sure how to include both.Not currently. Although you could do it manually with MKVMERGE.

[Lathe]

Exactly. LAV also supports H.265, and FFDSHOW doesn't. In addition, using FFDSHOW adds the requirement for the HAALI splitter.

I recommend LAV for use with BD-RB.

I've always only used LAV...

Yeah, it is SUPER easy with MKVMerge; I do stuff like that all the time, adding commentaries, etc...

Ummm... maybe I'm missing something, but ANYONE can send money to ANYONE by way of PayPal...

Soooo, isn't it just a simple matter of letting us know the personal e'mail to use, such as 'JDobbs@Gmail.com' for example...? I don't see why anybody cannot just simply send money to another person. Forget 'BDRB' or the 'business', just choose a generic e'mail mate, and let us know! It's up to us if we wish to send money to a fellow so that he can water his plants, feed his family, buy some booze... oops, shoulda stopped there... :o

To those who are getting the "DoEncoding() 00009 1501" error... I've been able to repeat it (thanks to the settings that worknstiff provided -- I couldn't create it with my settings). It isn't related to Windows 10, as I can cause it on a Win7 system. I should have a fix out pretty soon. Right now I'm tracing it to see what is the primary cause.

[worknstiff]

@ jdobbs; RE: I couldn't create it with my settings.

It's a really weird problem since it doesn't happen with all movies. I thought there for a while that it had to do with too many .m2ts files and then I ran it on one with 127 pieces and it still worked. Happy hunting tracking it down, but I'm sure you can find it if anyone can. thanks

Interesting that the change causing the issue came out in May, but this month is the first reports I've seen.

Perhaps it took so long for someone to do a job matching those specific conditions :)

Hello jdobbs,
I am unable to activate the DVDRebuilder, server problems?

Hello jdobbs,
I am unable to activate the DVDRebuilder, server problems?

http://s20.postimg.org/6hkzskvbh/key.pngYep, the server was frozen. Sorry for the inconvenience. It should be working now.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.50.09). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue that could cause BD-RB to
stop with a "DoEncoding() 00009 1501" error
message.
- Added a new SETUP option for enabling the
use of TESSERACT OCR in converting subtitles
from PGS (BD format) to SRT (MKV text subs).
This is useful in players that don't support
PGS playback. Note: You must have TESSERACT
installed on your computer for this to work,
each PGS conversion takes about 10 min, and
SRT files may sometimes need minor editing.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Tesseract OCR installation notes:
If you do not have TESSERACT installed on
your system, a zip file containing TESSERACT
with modules included for English, Spanish,
French, German, and Italian can be downloaded
from this link:

www.jdobbs.net/Freeware/tesseract.zip

It is fairly large, so it was decided not to
include it in the default BD-RB package. Just
unzip it into the BD-RB Tools folder. It will
create a folder called "Tesseract" there.
Modules for support of other languages can
be found at this link:

code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads

They can be extracted into the folder created
by the above unzip called tesseract/tessdata.

Please also note that while tesseract is very
accurate with BD subtitles -- it can sometimes
produce erroneous text with imported DVD
subtitles due to the poor original resolution.

[Ch3vr0n]

I've got 1 word for you after reading that tesseract stuff.

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

i'll defo be trying it out on movies to go with my chromecast


1 tiny question about the additional language. i added the nld one. Does that help it with recognising nld subs and turning them into srt or are those things for something else. What i read from the homepage, is that its a cli program only

[soneca]

1 tiny question about the additional language. i added the nld one. Does that help it with recognising nld subs and turning them into srt or are those things for something else. What i read from the homepage, is that its a cli program onlyYes. The CLI program is actually called by BD-RB in doing the PGS to text conversion. The downloaded packages are specifically used for better conversion of PGS into languages that aren't a part of the default package. If installed properly you should see (in your case) some files starting with "nld." in the tesseract\tessdata folder. I've only tested a few languages -- but I can tell you it works very well for English OCR conversion to SRT.

Right now it is only working for MKV conversions. In a future release I should be able to include SRTs in MP4 as well -- but I was experiencing a lot of issues trying to get MP4BOX to recognize the SRT files. So I just put it off for a while.

[Ch3vr0n]

There's only 1 file in that nld lang file I downloaded, that's the training data. Nothing else.

** edit ** I would be happy to test version for mp4 srt support because Chromecast does not support mkv. For info: this link will tell you ask supported codec info.

Could you pm me a profile to use for alternate movie-only output tailored towards it? Currently using generic mp4 but there way be a more efficient one. Although I know mp4 does not support subtitles unless hardcoded, the casting app I use (localcast) does allow casting of mp4 and loads subtitles.

Now back on topic.

I did a quick test here but the words with graphical accentuation are not recognized properly.
And in my language(portuguese), there are many! What a pity...:(

[Hajnal]

hello

which drivers work well? (intel HD4600)

[BlayzeX]

Suggestion?

I read above about the donation issue, every time I click it the PayPal account has an error...sucks..

Anyway... I do 3 encodes when I do my movies for different devices....media player 1080...then 720 portables/etc.

If doing the same movie can you make it to where it uses the same extracted work files to produce the files. I do a batch encode and each time its "extracting"....etc.... this would save tons of time and probably allow my BD drive to survive even longer..lol.. (of course I could just rip it ;). also in naming the files could append _1080 or 720, etc...instead of writing over them.

anyway awesome program...

I did a quick test here but the words with graphical accentuation are not recognized properly.
And in my language(portuguese), there are many! What a pity...:(Did you use the Portuguese data module?

[Ch3vr0n]

i double checked the downloaded zipfile and it does indeed only contain "nld.traineddata" while others have xxx.cube.word-freq, xxx.cube.size, xxx.cube.params etc. I dont know if this is normal or the language pack is incomplete. Dutch language data for Tesseract 3.02 is only 1.1MB, vs English language data for Tesseract 3.02 being a whopping 12MB

[soneca]

Did you use the Portuguese data module?

Yes, but compared to other languages this package appears to be incomplete because it contains only the .traineddata file.
It gives the impression of lacking a specific module for the accentuation because words without accents are recognized correctly.

[Ch3vr0n]

@soneca: exactly the same thing I'm seeing with the nld language. English is just over 12mb, nld is barely over 1mb containing just the traineddata.

[jdobbs]

nope as mp4 is currently not supported and thats the format i'd be using for my chromecastI think I have the MP4 issue figured out. As it turns out, my SRT formatting is off. It just happens that MKVMERGE overlooks it.

[Ch3vr0n]

Thats great to hear. I do still wonder why there's such a size difference in the tesseract language file.

ps: until you get it perfected, could you help me out with what i posted after ** edit ** in a few post above? http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1740803&postcount=23185

You mention a link -- but don't have one linked in the post. But my guess would be that standard MP4 output is the best choice.

AFAIK the only way mp4 supports subs is hardcoded, that does not exclude players naturally of loading a matching srt files.

[Ch3vr0n]

it was.

my procedure was

1) extract bdrb archive
2) extract tesseract archive into tools
3) extract nld data in tessdata
4) launch bdrb 50.09
5) the setup menu was already selected. I didn't have to do anything perhaps that was the fault?

50.10 is now running at file 3. it'll be another while

[jdobbs]

You have to use v0.50.10.- Updated code so tesseract created SRT files
can also be used with ALTERNATE output to the
standard MP4 preset and the "iPad 2+/iPhone
4s+" preset. [v0.50.10] I just did a movie as a test using "MP4 Container, 1280x720, AutoGOP, Auto-AAC" preset -- and it worked.

[Ch3vr0n]

jup confirming that. working just peachy atm. couple srt files already present.

AWESOME WORK if i could have, i would have donated. Damn paypal

** edit ** not 100% working

...

Running the test again with just 1 audio stream AUD_001 DTS-HD HLL & Dutch subsUghh... I just got that error on a 1280x720 test also. I looked at the mux... MP4BOX is telling me the SRT is corrupt. I'll see what I can find out.

Try doing a NO_RESIZE encode. That's what I used originally in my testing.

[Ch3vr0n]

will do, will go back to original multi-audio & subs, 2 pass to match the settings

** no such luck **

Yeah. There's something it doesn't like about the SRT files I'm creating. Weird that it is doing it so consistently now -- but not when I was testing. I must have changed something...

[Ch3vr0n]

if you want me to do a private testing before releasing the fixed version, feel free to pm me the link. In the mean time i'll stick to harcoded subs :)

its weird though, the files exist just fine. Its the remuxing that failes. My workfolder still has all the .264, .dts, .ac3 files etc

its weird though, the files exist just fine. Its the remuxing that failes. My workfolder still has all the .264, .dts, .ac3 files etcI found at least one issue. Sometimes the TESSERACT OCR finds what it thinks is an extra blank line in a subtitle. BD-RB was reading what was provided and inserting it. The SRT format assumes a blank line means "end-of-subtitle" and expects a number (for the next subtitle) to immediately follow it. So MP4BOX was crashing saying it expected a frame number. I've put in some code to look for blank lines of text and remove them. Apparently MKVMERGE is a lot more tolerant.

I've tested it on the title that errored earlier, and it is working. I'll do a couple more tests and then post a fix. Meanwhile I'l send you a PM with an EXE for you to test as well.

[soneca]

If so, I can also do some tests.

[Ch3vr0n]

Using the new exe file i pressed resume.

Phases pt1 & pt2 completed normally, pt3 appeared stuck but a file "003C1650_isotmp" was created and increased in size but p3 %tage remained at 0 but failed at that point. Figured i'd report it just in case.

I'll start a new job right now. Will report back in a couple hours when hopefully the job completes succesfully

** edit **
Pt 1 & 2 completed normally

Progress bar in "Creating ALTERNATE MOVIE-ONLY structure (Pt 3)... still didn't show a progress bar though while it was building the *_isotmp file, but properly showed the progress bar when muxing into it's final .mp4 form. However, since the subtitles got embedded into the mp4 container and the workfiles folder was deleted, there was no chance to check the srt files if they needed small typo corrections.

Perhaps give the user the option to merge subs into mp4 or have them as seperate files? Embedded ones probably won't give issues on a player such as MX Player, however i will have to test later tomorrow (10pm here as i do this edit, 3hrs after original post) if it gives issues with my casting app.

I also have noticed that the subtitles are a bit on the small side, is there a way to enlarge them?

[Ch3vr0n]

What about the part where there's no chance of checking the srt on spelling, if you're not behind the system and pause the encode the srt file will be gone and embedded in the mp4 file. No editing possible.

[jdobbs]

The SRT is still there unless you've told BD-RB to delete the working folder with the hidden option REMOVE_WORKING=1. I personally never do that. If the Working folder is still there, you can edit the SRT and then just do the rebuild again. If you don't change the working folder, it is automatically removed when you start your next job anyway (after prompting you).

[AmigaFuture]

Sweeeeeet!!! I shall have some fun playing with this.


- Added a new SETUP option for enabling the
use of TESSERACT OCR in converting subtitles
from PGS (BD format) to SRT (MKV text subs).
This is useful in players that don't support
PGS playback. Note: You must have TESSERACT
installed on your computer for this to work,
each PGS conversion takes about 10 min, and
SRT files may sometimes need minor editing.
- Updated code so tesseract created SRT files
can also be used with ALTERNATE output to the
standard MP4 preset and the "iPad 2+/iPhone
4s+" preset. [v0.50.10]
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Ch3vr0n]

i always tell BDRB to remove the working folders as i mainly do full disc backups. Would it be hard to make it possible to get srt files themselves and/or both (embedded and external)

[jdobbs]

They're small, so I guess I can make it copy them to somewhere else... but the whole point of the WORKING folder is to have a place where you have all the temporary files needed in case you need to rebuild or use them for something else. It really isn't a big deal, as you can easily delete the folder yourself after you're done.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.50.11). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue that could cause BD-RB to
stop with a "DoEncoding() 00009 1501" error
message.

- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
Also note:Tesseract OCR installation notes:
If you do not have TESSERACT installed on
your system, a zip file containing TESSERACT
with modules included for English, Spanish,
French, German, and Italian can be downloaded
from this link:

www.jdobbs.net/Freeware/tesseract.zip

It is fairly large, so it was decided not to
include it in the default BD-RB package. Just
unzip it into the BD-RB Tools folder. It will
create a folder called "Tesseract" there.
Modules for support of other languages can
be found at this link:

code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/downloads

The can be extracted into the folder created
by the above unzip called tesseract/tessdata.

[Ch3vr0n]

I would love it if you could just copy them along with the final mp4 file to the final output folder. I havent had a chance to test the embedded subs yet with my casting app / player, and if it doesn't work i need those srt files to have subs.

[jdobbs]

I'll look at adding a hidden option to copy them -- but for now I'd recommend you just set REMOVE_WORKING=0.

FWIW, I fully agree...

I can't tell you how many times that I've had to go into the WORKFILES and get/combine/convert/mux files. I think it's a very good idea to keep that folder until you are completely DONE with your job and you KNOW without a doubt that you do not need those files anymore.

I always leave it intact until my job is completely finished and I am satisfied that everything went well.

That's just it, as i only now am starting to dig into movie-only mp4's i never encountered the issue until now. My main focus always has been full disc backups, didn't serve a purpose then to keep the workfiles. If the output wasn't working, something would be wrong in the workfiles too. and having around 50GB of demuxed files + the 45GB of source thats a big chunk of harddrive space.

[musiclover]

I wonder if the file HIDDENOPTS.TXT in the last version of BD Rebuilder is complete or not. I am missing ENABLE_TEST=1 and ENABLE_BLANKING=1. Are this all the missing statements, or are there any more?

[Ch3vr0n]

dont think those 2 were ever in there

[musiclover]

dont think those 2 were ever in there

But are that the only ones?

[Sharc]

But are that the only ones?
ENCODER_MENU=1 (lets you choose x264 or FRIM, for 2D)

[spotswood]

That indicates a corrupt source.You are correct sir! (as always) The rip was successful so I "assumed" all was good. That's why I couldn't figure out the error. The disc has a bad spot at about the 45min mark where the picture gets all pixelated and freezes. Time for a new one. Thank's for your help...

[jdobbs]

Good to know. Thanks for posting.

I converted some TiVo MPEG-2 files to MKV so SRT would be used for subs. They're all imported well but errors during processing. BD-25 or 50 gets the same error. If I click OKAY then exit BD-RB then rerun it and resume, things continue on.

I have been a user for some time now; thanks jdobbs for your work (I am a donor).

I have been using the Frimencode/decode routines since you first included them last year to take advantage of Intel Quick Sync. It has been yielding ridiculous FPS speeds (110-130 fps avg) with good vid quality when recoding bluray down to 25GB. I was using Windows 7 x64, and now that I've upgraded to Windows 10 x64, I get a "Failed video encode, aborted" message as soon as it starts the reencoding process. All the computer bios settings are still the same and the Intel drivers are updated, etc, and I am using the files from the first post in your thread. Quick sync is working great on the latest Handbrake release.

Not making a big deal as I realize it is not a priority for you. But, I was wondering if the way the frim coding was being called could have been affected or not compatible with Win 10. The regular x264 encoder is still working, albeit, at a much slower rate.

Thanks, again, for the great program!

[worknstiff]

I feel your pain, the worst thing you see is the "Failed video encode message". I am running WIN10 Pro x64 albeit an older i7-2600k with 16gb of memory. I am running an ancient GTX 550Ti if that makes any difference. I have the Intel HD Graphics 3000 with the 9.17.10.4229 driver version enabled using the "Extend display" trick. I think at some point I tried a newer driver version than this one dated 5/27/15 and had to change it back. I have seen posts about people getting the insanely fast FPS like you are reporting *FPS speeds (110-130 fps avg)* but at least on mine all I get while doing MVC 3D using the FRIM encoder is a lame 12-15 FPS so I must be doing something wrong. It takes me around 3 hrs to do a 2 hour 3D movie.

[B737Driver]

I'm reducing the 2D version of the new Avengers right now at a lovely rate of 17 FPS! Yeah, quick sync is nice. Might have to go back to Win7 where everything worked.:)

Thanks, again, for the great program!Unfortunately almost all my tests are all done on a Win7 machine -- so the impact of Win 10 isn't always caught. I'm also hampered by the fact that I don't have a computer with Intel video -- so the only way I test FRIM is with the -sw (software) flag set.

[Edit] Hmm... I forgot, I do have a notebook computer with an i5-4210U processor and uses an "Intel(R) HD Graphics Family" driver. Does anyone know if that should see speed increases using Quick-Sync? Any recommendation on which driver, etc. I should be using if I want to test it? I rarely use this notebook, as its there only for when I travel.

[worknstiff]

@ jdobbs; RE: so the only way I test FRIM is with the -sw (software) flag set.

EXCUSE my ignorance please but I was under the assumption that if you don't have the 'FRIM_SW_ENCODE=1' set, therefore you are using FRIM in hardware. I was never able to get MVC 3D to work until I enabled the second Intel display and I thought that was all I had to do to get QuickSync to work. I guess QuickSync is not enabled on my PC and that's why I never was able to get the 100 FPS, lol.

PS: I think I under stand it now, the 2nd gen Sandy Bridge I have does not do "HARDWARE" MVC 3D encoding. I will need to get an Ivy Bridge or better to get the 100fps madness.

PS: I think I under stand it now, the 2nd gen Sandy Bridge I have does not do "HARDWARE" MVC 3D encoding. I will need to get an Ivy Bridge or better to get the 100fps madness.The BD-RB default is FRIM_SW_ENCODE=1. That's because that setting will work with any processor/video card combination. If you have a QuickSync enabled system you'd have to set FRIM_SW_ENCODE=0 and possibly FRIM_SW_DECODE=0 (assuming it works as well) in your INI file.

[worknstiff]

The only FRIM I have in my BDREBUILDER.INI file is FRIMSOURCE=0. When it finishes I will play around with the FRIM_SW_ENCODE=0 and see if it matters, thanks for the heads up. I would have sworn that I had that entry in there when you added MVC to BD_Rebuilder and I always just place my existing .INI back in the new version folder so I'm wondering why it's missing.

[B737Driver]

For the notebook: if you only have the intel graphics and not some other discreet graphics card it should be pretty much automatic in being able to use the integrated graphics (ie, Quick Sync). I would suggest going to the intel drivers center and running their program that checks your system and tells you which drivers need updating. Their latest driver should work fine.

It gets more tricky if you have another discreet graphics card in your system as many of us do. I do know if you have and NVidia discreet card in your laptop (Nvidia Optimus setup), their drivers allow you to select a program and specify which graphics it runs with. (it's in the 3D settings)--their website has instructions.

On my desktop system with Win7 x64 I was running Lucid Virtu; this resident software allows you to choose an executable and specify it to run on integrated or discreet graphics. On my rig I set it to run bdrb.exe, frimencode.exe, and frimedecode.exe to run on integrated graphics (the intel). As for the bdrb ini file, I always copied these 4 lines into the newest version:

FRIM_SW_DECODE=0
FRIM_SW_ENCODE=0
ENCODER_MENU=1
ENCODER=1

Further, I found that using the DirectShowSource for frame serving worked faster than any of the other selections in the settings dialog box, including the FRIMSource.

As worknstiff eluded to, there is a way to setup an extended display to force the computer into "recognizing" the integrated intel graphics. Then, a program that can utilize Quick Sync will recognize the intel graphics being available. That tutorial for this is at https://mirillis.com/en/products/tutorials/action-tutorial-intel-quick-sync-setup_for_desktops.html
This is apparently set up to work with Win7/8 as Win10 does not have display dialog boxes like this. The latest intel integrated graphics driver for Win10, though, does actively tell the system that quick sync is available, thus, I have been able to select it in Handbrake.

For me, for some reason, the current FRIM routines try to but can't pick up the integrated intel graphics to run...and they cough up the error.

BTW, these random questions to post are killing me!! :)

[jdobbs]

I would suggest going to the intel drivers center and running their program that checks your system and tells you which drivers need updating. I went to the intel driver center -- I couldn't find anything like this.

[worknstiff]

It's called the Intel Driver Update Utility (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility)

[jdobbs]

It's called the Intel Driver Update Utility (https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24345/Intel-Driver-Update-Utility)It tells me my system has a custom driver and I have to update from the manufacturer. Oh well.

[DoctorM]

I haven't updated my version of BD-RB in awhile. Did so today and I'm seeing different behavior.

I'm running Win7 x64. It LOOKS like the first pass is now encoded using x264-64's internal frame server, and then for the second pass switches to DirectShow/LAV Filter and x264-32.
Is that by design or do I have something messed up on my system?

I do not have any x64 filters/splitters installed (and I didn't see any linked to in the first post as recommended). I also see no options for enabling/disabling 64-bits so I'm surprised to see what the first pass is doing.

[jdobbs]

I don't see how that could happen, since the determination to use X264's internal frame-serving is the same for each pass. When internal frame-serving is used -- the 64 bit version will always be used on a 64 bit system.

Normally internal frame-serving is only used when selected -- but there are rare circumstances that might default to it when there is no overriding need for using an AVS.

Nothing in that decision tree has changed, however, in many, many versions.

Can you post the command line used in each of the passes?

[DoctorM]

I'm unable to reproduce the two passes using different frame servers and x264 versions today (and I couldn't stop it from doing it yesterday). Maybe I just needed to reboot.

In general though, I'm definitely confused. I've selected 'Use DirectshowSource for frame serving' in Setup, and in the past that involved LAV Filters having their icons pop up in the system tray and the 32-bit x264.exe running.

Now even though the log shows " - Decoding/Frame serving: DirectShow", the Config.ini shows "Encoder=0", it is using the internal LAVF demuxer and 64-bit x264.

I don't know if the 64-bit version improves performance or not. I had the 32bit LAV Filters set to decode in hardware for whatever performance improvement that brought, but it appears to be disregarding the frame server I selected.

[worknstiff]

When I was experimenting with the FRIM_SW_DECODE switches yesterday I ended up not being able to use DirectShow for frame serving like I had been using and had to use x264/LAVF instead. It was on a VC1 source if that makes any difference.

I don't know if the 64-bit version improves performance or not. I had the 32bit LAV Filters set to decode in hardware for whatever performance improvement that brought, but it appears to be disregarding the frame server I selected.That just means it is likely a multipart source, and since there was no resizing etc. that required an AVS involved, BD-RB chose to use X264's internal frame-serving (mainly for better frame accuracy). It's really not a big deal, since its using the same decoder as LAV.

[DoctorM]

The movie is split into three .M2TS files and I'm doing a movie-only encoding.
I started the re-encoding again and it used the x64 version until it got to part 3 then shifted to 32-bit x264 and LAV directshow filter.

I'm still not seeing it change encoders between passes though... now I'm starting to think I was just being crazy.
You're right, it is the same decoder, but apparently there is no hardware decoder available in it. Not a big deal I suppose, it's just something unexpected based on the settings.

[jdobbs]

That's because the last segment wouldn't have the ATCDelta flag set. Trust me, it's better this way.

Trusted.

[dirty211]

I have noticed that when an MKV containing an Atmos audio stream is imported into BD Rebuilder the Atmos stream is not available when you go to encode or burn it. It seems that it defaults to the core or second audio stream. Not sure if this is a bug or just designed that way. I couldn't find any info on this in the thread so I thought Id share it here.

[Ch3vr0n]

BDRB is standard compliant, atmos is NOT part of the official BD standard. It's an extension/add-on to it. It's neither a bug nor designed that way. Jdobbs may choose to add support but that's up to him. It you want to keep the audio or an atmos track you will need to keep HD audio intact for that specific movie.

[dirty211]

Understood. I know that BDRB handles Atmos well when encoding a full disc encode thru standard bluray structure folder and the end result is a compressed bd25 with Atmos intact. I just noticed it wasn't available when importing MKV and trying to convert to BD folder structure. Jdobbs does a fantastic job with BDRB and I will continue to support whether he adds it or not.

Jdobbs does a fantastic job with BDRB and I will continue to support whether he adds it or not.The problem is, that since it isn't a part of the standard -- there is no documentation as to how you would actually activate it in movie-only BD backup.

[bjones]

It tells me my system has a custom driver and I have to update from the manufacturer. Oh well.

jdobbs, you should still be able to use the Intel driver, the custom ones by the mfg aren't usually kept up to date once they've moved on to the next model.. and they just sometimes have some extra options but definitely not worth staying behind rev for.

I did have problems updating to the intel driver when it added in Win 10 support in the Spring and had to revert back to the last one that was built for win 7/8.1. It may be fixed in the latest one. I haven't checked.

your processor has a HD4400 in it so you should be able to use the same one I do for my HD4600 on Win7sp1x64 - its the win64_153619 file version for driver ver 4170

I recently did a movie only encode with the option to resize to 1440x1080. The output has a wrong aspect ratio of 4:3 instead of 16:9. The source was 1920x1080 MPEG-4.

What I noticed was that it used the x64-Version of x264 even through I've it set to use DirectShow instead of x264's internal LAV.

I took a look at last_cmd while trying to find the problem:
"G:\Program Files (x86)\BD-Rebuilder\tools\x264-64.exe" "H:\BDMV\STREAM\00005.m2ts" --preset medium --bluray-compat
--demuxer lavf --fps 24000/1001 --no-interlaced --video-filter resize:width=1440,height=1080,sar=1:1,method=bilinear
--b-pyramid none --weightp 1 --qpmin=0 --bitrate 3463 --level 4.0 --qpfile "K:\BR-TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00005.CHP" --sar 4:3
--aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 13000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 15000
--threads auto --thread-input --stats "K:\BR-TEMP\WORKFILES\00005.m2ts.264.stats" --pass 1 --output NUL

I think the "sar=1:1" in the resize-filter takes precedence over the "--sar 4:3" in the command line here and causes the wrong AR in the final output?

I think the "sar=1:1" in the resize-filter takes precedence over the "--sar 4:3" in the command line here and causes the wrong AR in the final output? If the source is 1920x1080, then the SAR in the resize should be correct. I'll have to look and see when/how the --sar 4:3 gets inserted, it's been a while since I looked at that code.

[Sharc]

If the source of 1920x1080 for DAR 16:9 is resized to 1440x1080 the --sar must be signalled as 4:3 in order to play it back correctly as 16:9. So it is correct to include --sar 4:3 in the commandline. It must not get overruled by --sar 1:1.

[jdobbs]

So it is correct to include --sar 4:3 in the commandline. It must not get overruled by --sar 1:1.You are exactly right. So, I guess I would have to assume the problem is in the playback unit.

I'll do a couple just to be sure.

[Starfiresg1]

It must not get overruled by --sar 1:1.

I wasn't suggesting changing the --sar settings - I thought that maybe the already present sar=1:1 in the resize parameters was causing an issue. I just restarted the task with encoder output enabled (SHOW_ENCODER=1) and immediately noticed the sar is displayed as 1:1 in the output:

lavf [info]: 1920x1080p 1:1 @ 24/1 fps (cfr)
resize [info]: resizing to 1440x1080
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 AVX2 LZCNT BMI2
x264 [info]: profile High, level 4.0
The resulting output has a display ratio of 4:3 (verified with mediainfo).

When I changed the resize-filter to use a sar of 4:3 (--video-filter resize:width=1440,height=1080,sar=4:3,method=bilinear) the encoder would display a sar of 4:3:
lavf [info]: 1920x1080p 1:1 @ 24/1 fps (cfr)
resize [info]: resizing to 1440x1080
x264 [info]: using SAR=4/3
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 AVX2 LZCNT BMI2

The resulting output has a display ratio of 16:9 (verified with mediainfo) and looks correct.

After this i did something crazy and changed the --sar command-line to 20:2 just to see what happens:
lavf [info]: 1920x1080p 1:1 @ 24/1 fps (cfr)
resize [info]: resizing to 1440x1080
x264 [info]: using SAR=4/3
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 SSE4.2 AVX FMA3 AVX2 LZCNT BMI2
Again the output has a display ratio of 16:9.

It seems as soon as the resize-filter contains an sar-argument the --sar command-line doesn't do anything?!

Note: I tested this on a short trailer-clip (02:28) from the same disc.

[Sharc]

It seems to be the internal lavf frame server which overrules the command line --sar 4:3.
I am always using DGDecNV with 32bit x264 and never had a problem with 1440x1080 / 16:9 DAR.

[eduardomurilo89]

Sorry to bother you guys, but I haven't found anything about the subject, so maybe you can help me. I want to know if there's a way to enable Menu encoding on BDRebuilder, I feel that I'm losing precious space with them not encoded. Thanks in advance!

[jdobbs]

@Starfiresg1

I'll do some testing and get to the bottom of it.

[B737Driver]

Sorry to rehash, but Sir jdobbs,
Do you know if there is a way in the FRIM modules to specify the graphics gpu to use for encoding? I know my Win10 system will support it, it just needs some nudging in what to use.

Still trying to get this thing to work in Win10 with Intel Quick Sync.

BTW, sorry you weren't able to get it running on your laptop; the quicksync is a significant capability

Thanks

[jdobbs]

If you set FRIM_SW_ENCODE=0 and FRIM_SW_DECODE=0 then BD-RB will use the default settings for FRIMEncode -- which is "Automatic". In that mode the quicksync drivers should recognized your processor and work accordingly. Outside of that, there's really not much I can contribute to the functioning. You might want to browse through the FRIMEncode thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=169651&highlight=frimencode) and see if there is anything else.

[B737Driver]

Solved my issue with FRIM, Windows 10, and Intel Quicksync.

After a lot of dorking around with FRIM on the command line, I learned this was not a quicksync issue as I would frequently get the error: “cannot get YUV420 frame from input avi-file …”, so iqs never had a chance to start. I finally figured out this is a CODEC issue. I use FFDSHOW and have it setup exactly as prescribed in the initial post for BDRB setup. One thing I added in the Video Decoder Configuration dialog box under Codecs was Raw video | All Supported. But this still didn’t work.

I then downloaded the latest version of x86 ffdshow I could find: v1.3.4533, 20140929. This compiled version of ffdshow adds another configuration box called VFW Configuration; the title on the dialog box once opened is “ffdshow video ENCODER configuration”. FRIMEncode WORKS AFTER SETTING “RAW VIDEO” in this box to “ALL SUPPORTED.”

I then initially had an issue frame serving with DirectShowSource (the encoding would stop and hang around 19% in), so I switched to FRIM serving and it works fine so far on 2 different movies. 2D BluRays recoded to 25 BDR using the High Quality setting averages 150 fps. Without FRIM and IQS I was getting around 16-18 fps.

Hope this helps someone else… worknstiff?? And why did the older ffdshow work fine in Win7x64 and not in Win10x64--I haven't a freakin' clue :)

BTW, thanks, jdobbs, for pointing me to the FRIM forum page—it gave me a lot of ideas for testing that finally led me to the solution.

[edit: for reference, my cpu is an i5-3570K that is almost 3 years old]

The recommended ffdshow, available on the first page with the other downloads, has this same VFW Configuration too.

[edit: for reference, my cpu is an i5-3570K that is almost 3 years old]Had you tried uninstalling and reinstalling FFDSHOW using the recommended version? I just wonder if it was the reinstall that did it rather than the new version.

By the way, when BD-RB runs FRIM it saves the existing RAWV setting, and then sets RAWV to ALL SUPPORTED before it executes the FRIM command line. It then resets it to its original values upon FRIM completion. So changing that setting in the FFDSHOW configuration really has no effect.

[eduardomurilo89]

Guys, anything on the menu encoding? Thanks in advance!

[jdobbs]

Guys, anything on the menu encoding? Thanks in advance!The size of menus just isn't significant enough to bother -- and the likelihood of issues is greatly increased.

In my testing to find the right settings for the Codec, I installed and uninstalled about 3 versions of ffdshow. Before I wrote my experience up to post here yesterday, I uninstalled the version I described as working and reinstalled the recommended one from here to test again. Capsbackup, I could not for the life of me find the same VFW dialog box.

I am just a modest user and don't, at all, presume to know a lot of how all this stuff works. What I do know is in the recommended version I could not find the Encoder settings and BDRB/FRIM no workie. Install this latest version of ffdshow and change the Encoder setting, BDRB/FRIM workie.

I don't care which version I use so long as I can get it to work. [edit: I'm all ears if someone can tell me how to find the VFW config routine in the recommended version; it does not come up in the start menus when I install it]

[edit2: Oh, and remember, I am now running Win10. I don't know what the OS has to do with it, but BDRB/FRIM worked fine in Win7 without finding this extra setting in ffdshow.]

[KeVe1983]

Just a stupid question

Can i use Intel Quick Synch for encoding, if i use the internal gpu also as graphic output for my monitor?

I don't have a graphic card in my desktop pc, so i use the intel cpu internal HD4600 graphic for my monitor.

I copied the both lines FRIM_SW_DECODE=0 & FRIM_SW_ENCODE=0 into the .ini file and selected FRIm Source in BDRB Setup, but just get max 15FPS while encoding. Have an i5 4460


Edit: Also a little bug

I'm using BDRB for some years now and this "bug" present from the first time.
If you select german for the language and subtitles to keep in the setup it doesn't work
You have to edit the .ini file and add "deu" to the AUDIO_TO_KEEP and SUBS_TO_KEEP line.
Otherwise German is not selected if you load a Bluray and want the German language to be selected automatically

[jdobbs]

[edit2: Oh, and remember, I am now running Win10. I don't know what the OS has to do with it, but BDRB/FRIM worked fine in Win7 without finding this extra setting in ffdshow.]It's possible that Win10 increase security settings and the changes to the registry (done by BD-RB) is now being blocked somehow. I'll have to do some testing on my Win10 machine.

Have an i5 4460That's similar to what I see on my Intel-video system. I can set those to 0, but the speed doesn't seem to increase at all. If I remember correctly, though, it would cause the encode to fail on my non-Intel machines.

Honestly, though, there are people a LOT more familiar with Quick-Sync than I am -- and they'd probably be more help to you.

When I did testing with FRIM-Hardware-Encoding for MVC-encodes (quite a while back) at some point It would only use hardware encoding if I copied libmfxhw32.dll from the Intel Quicksync-Folder ("C:\Program Files\Intel\Media SDK") to the "Tools"-folder of BD-Rebuilder. This used to work previously - probably caused by either an update to FRIM or the Intel Driver. My guess is that older drivers added the Media SDK to the %PATH%-variable - so that the DLL could be used more easily - at present it's not in there and Frim probably doesn't find it.

You have to edit the .ini file and add "deu" to the AUDIO_TO_KEEP and SUBS_TO_KEEP line.

Both "German" settings are already in there (deu and ger) - the list is sorted by the codes so they are a few entries apart.

[jdobbs]

That's weird. So you're saying "deu" and "ger" are already in the line -- but you have to add it to the end to get it to work? Can you post what your AUDIO_TO_KEEP line looks like?

Did not work for me.
Copied the file to the tools folder, but it seems BDRB did not encode with HW.
How can i check if HW is used for encoding?

Updated the Bios and did all settings in BIOS for using the iGPU
But it still seems that BDRB will not use the GPU

I just tested it - in order for FRIM to use hardware acceleration I had to rename (or delete) the file libmfxsw32.dll (software library) in the tools folder. FRIM then used the hardware library (libmfxhw32.dll) even if its not copied to the tools folder.

You could add/change the setting SHOW_ENCODER=1 in BDREBUILDER.INI - this will display the decoder windows (FRIM, x264, etc.) during encoding. FRIM will display if it is using software or hardware at the very beginning of the output - maybe you need to scroll up a bit.
Media SDK impl HARDWARE (2) - D3D11 (C:\Program Files\Intel\Media SDK\libmfxhw32.dll)
Note: closing the window will abort the encode - so you should disable it when no longer needed.

[Edit] WOW! That did it for me. My 3D encode went from 8 fps to 68 fps -- and when I tested it, it played back great. GREAT INFORMATION! I'll do more testing, but hopefully all I'll have to do is include libmfxhw32.dll in the tools folder. If that isn't enough, I can always have BD-RB temporarily rename it during encoding. I'm also going to do some testing on 2D encodes.

:goodpost::thanks:

[KeVe1983]

This also works for me!

Media SDK impl HARDWARE - D3D9 (C:\Program Files\Intel\Media SDK\libmfxhw64.dll)
Media SDK version 1.16

http://abload.de/img/unbenanntf3u2k.png

Got 80-83 FPS @High Quality (Default), ABR
Looks like i can do Gravity 3DBD 50->25 in about an hour

:thanks:

[Starfiresg1]

Glad to hear it's working :)

I gave it up quite some time ago after testing because there where visual artifacts in the MVC stream when hardware acceleration was used - AVC was fine however. Haven't tested in a while however - could have been a driver issue ... or as Haswell issue.

Quick note: If you are using Windows 10 don't update
to the latest driver (15.40.7.64.4279) if you use a discrete graphics card. With this one I can only use Quicksync if I have a monitor attached to the internal card (and I also can't add a "fake display" in display settings either). Previous driver (15.40.4.64.4256) was fine as far as I remember.

[jdobbs]

From what I can tell, I don't need a hardware DLL. It just works...

[KeVe1983]

Using Win7, so no problems here.

Just got a new setup with i5 4460.

I had artefacts in 3D MVC encodes too while using my i3 4330 the last weeks.
But i did not use HW encoding it was a normal SW encode.

Will check it with the new enncode


Edit:

Encode done in 52 minutes

But have artefacts :(

[B737Driver]

Glad to hear some others have been able to get QS to work!

It's a shame that such cool hardware capability is not a ubiquitous tool after 3+ years: it takes so many little, and sometimes inconsistent, variables to get it work...

I still have the sw version of the .dll in my bdrb "tools" folder, but the system is definitely running on the hardware version from the sdk folder for me:

Media SDK impl HARDWARE (2) - D3D9 (C:\Program Files\Intel\Media SDK\libmfxhw32.dll)
Media SDK version 1.11

I have my motherboard vga plugged into my monitor, but I don't use it...I use the dvi from my NVidia graphics card (selected at the monitor). With this plugged in but unused I get the extended desktop, and the Intel Graphics Utility is actually selectable. BDRB started up and ran fine, but the D3D9 came up as D3D11, it ran slower (~90 fps), and then crashed about 10% into the recode. Plugged the monitor back in and my speeds are about 120-135 fps, and so far it is 53% in and hasn't crashed. Why the hell would that matter????

Bottom line: ton of variables...find the combination that works and enjoy the huge speed increase with unnoticeable quality degradation. Ugh--frustrating! Fortunately, I have found that combo for now...

[jdobbs]

I did some testing. If I force the encode to hardware mode (using the -hw switch) instead of allowing for autodetection (the default) then you don't have to rename the libmfxsw32.dll file. I'll make changes to the next release so the -hw switch is forced when FRIM_SW_ENCODE is set to "0".

[KeVe1983]

jdobbs any thougts about the artefacts with 3D encodes?

Had issues with my old i3 4330 and now also with the i5 4460
But with my i3 i didn't use HW encoding.


Okay, so if i can see and read here it's an issue with SW Players?!
Using PDVD15 for playback.

So any way to fix this?

Don't wont to burn to optical disc and use hardware player.
Just want to use my HTPC for Playback.

[jdobbs]

I've never personally experienced it, but up till now I've always used sw encoding. If it is an issue with the playback unit -- then it is something, I would suspect, that only the playback software could address. I'm not sure what I, or the Intel developers, for that matter, could do about it.

This problem was discussed here several times.

It seems to affect all sw players (PDVD, TMT, WinDVD), but on hw players it should run fine.

So i think it has something to do with FRIM!

Full Blurays are running fine in 3D at PDVD.
They just got messed up after encoding.

And i tried a lot of 3D Discs before with mit i3 and without hw encoding.
Have used sw encoding and got the same messed up BD25 encodes with artifacts

[jdobbs]

I understand... but the gold standard is hardware players. I can point you to multiple other issues discussed in this forum that exist in software players even though the stream is fully BD compliant (example: in-mux 3D). Frankly, IMHO, the SW players just aren't very good. That's why I generally only respond to problems that have been confirmed on hardware players.

That doesn't mean I wouldn't be open to a workaround to help make it work better in those players -- I've done that dozens of times before. But adding code to circumvent other software's problems is a far throw from actually accepting responsibility for them, and I suspect the FRIM author (and the Intel developers) might feel the same way.

[KeVe1983]

Sorry i did not want to attack you, that was just my thought.
You're doing a great job.

Found another interesting thing.

[jdobbs]

No problem. I didn't mean to sound defensive -- I just wanted to express that there's a limit to how much one can do when the problem appears to be elsewhere.

How is BDRebuilder been with Windows 10? I've been thinking about upgrading from Windows 7 Professional and am worried it won't work as well? Thanks for all your work btw Dobbs!

[jdobbs]

I'm running it on Windows 10 with no issues.

Thanks for all your work btw Dobbs!Only issue you *might* run in to if you use a NVIDIA card is with LAV filters. If that's the case then make sure CUVID is not selected under hardware acceleration.

EDIT: The problem arises when having SLI enabled, it will cause BD Rebuilder to spit out a file with no video stream just audio. Either disable SLI first or change the hardware acceleration setting as mentioned above. Should have been more clear in the first post.

[sgrundy]

Good to know. I hadn't heard that -- and I'm going to upgrade one of my Win7 machines (with an NVIDIA card) to Win10 soon.It's an SLI / Win 10 problem, updated initial post to reflect that. Whoops.

John Wick seems to have a problem. It jumps around like the multiple vid files are in the wrong order, just a guess.

I did a movie only backup I’ll see if a full reactes any different.

John Wick seems to have a problem. It jumps around like the multiple vid files are in the wrong order, just a guess.

I did a movie only backup I’ll see if a full reactes any different.That's something I call playlist obfuscation. It's a protection mechanism. The disc authors create a huge number of possible playlists -- of which only one is the correct sequence.

BD-RB takes no action to circumvent protection mechanisms -- but most of the time AnyDVD will recognize it and provide the playlist in an INF file that BD-RB can scan. When it isn't provided you need to find out which playlist is correct.

Normally you can go to the AnyDVD Forum (https://forum.slysoft.com/) and just do a search. Most of the time someone has posted the correct playlist for your region/area. You can then select that playlist from within BD-RB (Other Movie-Only Playlist).

John Wick should be supported in all it's versions. If it isn't you'll need to post over at the Anydvd HD forum and include an anydvd logfile and the FULL /JAR file zipped up

Hey guys... recently ran David Gilmour Remember That Night thru BDRebuilder. It has an LPCM Stereo track@2304kbs, a TrueHD 5.1 track @6912kbs, and a core AC3 track@512kbs. When not keeping the HD tracks and encoding to BD9, the LPCM is reencoded to 254kbs (which is fine), but the TrueHD track is not reencoded to AC3@640kbs (as I thought would happen) and the core track is used.

I've tried several options and have looked in the hidden.txt but am unable to achieve the desired results. Is there a way to tell BDRebuilder to reencode the TrueHD track rather than using the core?

I used ClownBD to reencode both the LPCM and TrueHD tracks to 640kbs but that doesn't keep the menus which I prefer. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great program!

[gonca]

Could you supply the log from the encode

I'll run a test encode and check the results

[jdobbs]

Hey guys... recently ran David Gilmour Remember That Night thru BDRebuilder. It has an LPCM Stereo track@2304kbs, a TrueHD 5.1 track @6912kbs, and a core AC3 track@512kbs. When not keeping the HD tracks and encoding to BD9, the LPCM is reencoded to 254kbs (which is fine), but the TrueHD track is not reencoded to AC3@640kbs (as I thought would happen) and the core track is used.

I used CloneBD to reencode both the LPCM and TrueHD tracks to 640kbs but that doesn't keep the menus which I prefer. Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great program!BD-RB always uses the core unless you choose to keep the HD stream intact. Typically the core is 640Kbs already. If the core is above your specified bitrate, BD-RB reencodes it, but not if it is below. In that case reencoding to a higher bitrate wouldn't improve it.

[gonca]

Guess there is no need for me to run a test encode now

[jdobbs]

Currently NicAudio is used for the decoding, and it won't decode TrueHD. But almost always the core is already at the maximum bitrate, so reencoding from the original TrueHD just isn't a concern. It might be possible for BD-RB to use DirectshowSource() for the audio reencode when the source's core bitrate is lower than that specified for output. LAV filters should decode TrueHD. But it is so rare that the core bitrate is lower than the needed target, that that change wouldn't be a priority.

Don't know why they chose only 512kbs for the core. Would rather get 640 w/BD9. Guess I'll run another BD25 and just keep the HD. No real loss in video bitrate anyway. Thanks again...

Heh... that is what I was going to suggest mate... It's frigg'n DAVID GILMORE in HD man! OF COURSE you should keep the HD audio intact and use a BD-25! :D

[KeVe1983]

Just a little feedback:

Have done a Mad Max Fury Road 3D Encode with Hardware Encoding and burned to a disc.
Got the Philips BDP5700 3D Bluray Player from my parents for this weekend.

Suprise: Picture with artifacts like on PowerDVD, WinDVD... Also it's jittering terrible and not watchable

[worknstiff]

3D has always been temperamental with software players ie: PowerDVD, WinDVD... , or did you mean that you played it with the Phillips player?

[KeVe1983]

I just got the Philips Hardware Player from my parents for testing.
I played the burned disc with Philips Player and got the same artifacts like i was playing the iso with PowerDVD and WinDVD.

So something is wrong.

[worknstiff]

@ KeVe1983 RE: So something is wrong.

Are you still using QuickSync for your encoding? I did Mad Max Fury Road 3D (w/o QuickSync) and had no artifacts with my burned disk playing on my Oppo93.

Yes did it with QuickSync

Did an encode with another Software (not sure if i can talk about it) and also use QuickSync/Hardware Encoding and have no artifacts.
But i think this software isn't using Frim and encodes come with SSIF folder

[raul124]

Worknstiff so what is your process to make a clean 3D with QuicSync and speed need it?

[worknstiff]

@ raul124; RE: Worknstiff so what is your process to make a clean 3D with QuicSync and speed need it?

Unfortunately I was never able to get QuickSync to work using my 2nd gen Sandy Bridge 2600k, but at least no artifacts in the 3D.

This maybe self inflicted, but I have tried reinstalling all helper apps and doing a new BD_Rebuilder setup but still keep getting the FRIMDecode.exe has stopped. It seems that it's working on the first m2ts but as soon as it extracts the VID_00098 it fails. I can't remember if I have done any previous VC1 3D's so maybe thats the problem. I have checked and double checked that I have VC1 enabled for wmv9. Here are the logs:

After some more investigation the only thing weird about the 00098 file is this:

http://i63.tinypic.com/21enkb6.jpg

It seems like 16 audio streams and 31 text streams is a bit much, but it also has a weird second audio stream of only 192k mono. Maybe someone can enlighten me on why this would crash FRIM. I have since this failure used this same BD_Rebuilder install to do other 3D's and it works just fine on those other 3D movies. It must be something special about this specific m2ts that is choking FRIM.

[Ch3vr0n]

@blatz777: buffer overflow/underflow problems are usually an indicator of a corrupted source. Rip the disc again.

[blatz777]

Mhm I see, but If I do play the ISO on the PC it seems all fine...anyway I'll try to rip the disc again.

[KeVe1983]

Have done a new 3D encode (Minions 3D) without hardware encoding.
Takes me over 4 hours.

But: I got artifacts!

So what's the problem?
How can it be fixed?

So BDRB is useless for me, because i can't encode BD50->BD25 without getting artifacts.


Is it possible to get the "old way" working again to get an encode with SSIF folder/files?

[Ch3vr0n]

Artifacts? what's your player? Using a software one? and the "old way" is still possible. read the hiddenopts.txt file. should be in there

[KeVe1983]

Using SW Player, because of HTPC
And no, i dont want to burn to use encodes with hw player....
Also already tested with hardware player like i wrote before and got also artifacts

Checked the hidden.txt file but can not find any option for old way encoding

Just 3D method hsbs, hou, anaglyph
And output 3D iso for movie only encode

[worknstiff]

@ KeVe1983 RE: i dont want to burn to use encodes with hw player....
Most HW Blu-ray players will let you use Folders or even ISO's for playback. That will rule out SW players that are notoriously problematic with 3D, that's why jdobbs won't accept bugs re-guarding them for playback.

And output 3D iso for movie only encode?

April 7th, 2014 - v0.47.04
- Implemented 3D Full Backup Mode. Note that
BD-RB converts 3D method so that the SSIF
folder is no longer required -- the method
is 100% compliant with the BD standard.
(v0.47.03)
- Due to the changes in the way 3D is handled,
BD-RB no longer outputs to ISO by default on
movie-only 3D encodes. It can be enabled by
using the OUTPUT_3D_ISO hidden option. Note:
This option only applies to movie-only 3D
encodes. (v0.47.03)
- Made in-mux (single M2TS) 3D multiplexing
mode the default on full-backup 3D. This
can be changed back with the hidden option
FORCE_INMUX_3D=0.
- Modified 3D movie-only mode so it also now
uses the in-mux structure for BD-3D output.

@KeVe1983: See, that's your problem of the pixellation issues. They're the only ones that have the pixellation issues, when you play the disc back on a hardware device there will be no issues.

[KeVe1983]

Yes, maybe thats the problem, but this is not the solution.

Otherwise it should be clearly stated that 3D BD25 encodes are just working fine with hardware players. Oh sorry, they also did not work fine with all hardware players, like i said and tested before. So it should be clearly stated that 3D BD25 encodes are just working fine with some special kind of hardware players.

I have a HTPC for playing all my files (TV-Shows, Movies, Bluray Discs)

Why should i buy an external hardware player?
Why should i buy blank bluray discs? (Btw. HDD capacity is cheaper)


So if BDRB is useless there are only 2 options:

- Backing up complete discs which need more disc space
- Using ***Fab for encoding which has very poor quality in complete bd25 encodes even on highest quality settings


Or maybe it's possible to get BDRB working the old way with SSIF folder/files. That would fix all issues for playback with software players.

[Ch3vr0n]

Special hardware? Yeah right, my 3-4yr old panny DMP-BD100 plays them fine. No "special" hardware whatsoever. Sure, HDD may be cheaper but it's also riskier. I'd rather have 1 scratched disc i have to rebuild then a couple hundred lost when a harddrive crashes.

And i know the feeling about DVDCrap, 3D quality sucked when i tried it. 90% of the discs i tried it would fail at one point or another during the encode, and the other 10% of the time where it did go through the encode didn't work at all or there were FAR MORE pixellation issues than BDRB output now.

SSIF structure IS available (at least for movie-only, not sure about full disc) as detailed in the hiddenopts.txt file.

[KeVe1983]

I remember that my parents had a Sony BD Player and my BDRB 3D encodes where fine. now they have a Philips BD player and have these artifacts. So there must be a diffence between some players.

I'm controlling my HTPC with a remote and i can access and play all my files so easily. So i just don't want an extra hardware player.

I also like Bluray menues and extras, so movie only is normally no option. But i'll try an Movie only encode with FORCE_INMUX_3D=0 + OUTPUT_3D_ISO later.

Maybe jdobbs can say if FORCE_INMUX_3D=0 will also work on bd25, or implement this in a futre update.

Fab is really crap!
Did a hardware encode and it takes me 90 Minutes for a disc which is pretty okay for me. But the picture was extremly pixelated in scenes with high bitrates.

So i did an "HQ" encode which took me 8+ hours.
But the result isn't even better than the fast quality setting.

[KeVe1983]

Did an Movie Only Encode

Added

FORCE_INMUX_3D=0
OUTPUT_3D_ISO

to the .ini.

No SSIF folder/files created
No .iso created

Just got a BD Folder structure with inmuxed 3D m2ts

[Starfiresg1]

OUTPUT_3D_ISO needs to be OUTPUT_3D_ISO=1 in the settings file:

OUTPUT_3D_ISO=n n = 0/1 - 0=Off (default) - if set to "1", movie-only output is to an ISO rather than a folder

[Ch3vr0n]

and just to make sure you do it correctly. Paramaters need to be placed under the [options] section.

Got a .iso with 5 minutes of the beginning of the movie, thats all.
Idk why he stops the encode and startet rebuilding.

The iso has SSIF folder/file, but playback has also artifacts

I have no idea what the problem is, but i think it must be Frim

Software Playback? Also did you try hardware player.

[KeVe1983]

Software Playback? Also did you try hardware player.

Yes, PowerDVD, WinDVD and TMT
No i did not test hardware, because i dont have the player from my parents anymore.
Also i just want to use Software Player

Did a new encode with newer Frimencoder, but also artifacts.

So it seems there is no way for me to use BDRB if i want to use a Software Player

Oh, make sense. I have TMT as well and does same thing with FRIM output.

[musiclover]

How can I prevent BD-RB converting PAL sources to NTSC when importing flv or mkv files? Do I have to convert them to avi or mp4 first?

[Ch3vr0n]

Check the source, if the mkv's are 25fps pretty sure that gets carried over. flv doesn't have a framecount afaik.

Trying to backup my BIRDMAN Blu-Ray to BD-9.

BDRB (AFTEN) fails to re-encode english soundtrack XLL to AC3, error #26001 1801.

Is there a way to transfer or convert BDMV or other files created by BDR to an iPad Air2 and Samsung Galaxy android and have them playback the movie?

I would like to pull the files off of BR discs already made by BDR.

Thank you.

[Ch3vr0n]

Just load the bdmv structure in bdrb, and use movie only output conversion to mp4. Problem solved

I'm a novice with all this. I do have BDRB working correctly though.

In trying to get the MP4 conversion to work, for a Source Path:, I selected the bdmv file from a BDRB made Blu-ray disc. Under BDRB when I check Menu/Mode/Movie Only Backup/Alternative Movie-Only Output among the many mp4 variants I do not find a "movie only output conversion to mp4" choice.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you.

[Ch3vr0n]

"movie only" is just a way of saying exactly that. Only the main movie, wether its mkv or mp4 they can only carry 1 video title at a time. You're looking in the right place, you just have to pick your option.

MKV or MP4, video resolution, audio specs.

Eg halfway down the list you'll see a profile "MP4 container, 1920x1080, AutoGOP, Auto-AAC" which basically means an MP4 file, video resolution of 1080p, with automatic selection of optimal AAC audio

you're not doing anything wrong.

Thanks! Good to know I'm on the right track.

After I do the conversion I'm not clear on how to transfer the converted bdmv mp4 file to a Samsung tablet. Would I download the mp4 file to the SD card I use in the tablet and then try to find an app that will play mp4 files? Do you have an idea of what an "average" converted blu-ray bdmv to mp4 file size might be?

[Ch3vr0n]

It would probably work similar to my Nexus tablet / phone. Just connect the device and drag the file over. Done, that's all there is too it. I do recommend respecting the devices folder structure. Eg: the device has a "movies" or "Video" folder or something similar, place the file in there. I haven't seen any device that would refuse file playback if it wasn't in the video folder or anything but i guess it's possible.

As far as a player goes, MX Player is the best there is, next to the upcoming VLC for android.

Filesize wise there is no average as that depends on the settings you used at the bottom of the "Alternate movie-only output" window that pops up.

You have multiple options

Filesize based on on CRF (20 is decent for my full HD capable Nexus 7 2013 and Nexus 5)
Filesize based on the encoding bitrate (2nd checkbox)
Filesize based on a fixed value (checkboxes 3 for 2 pass encoding & 4 for 1 pass encoding) where the value is in MB. Eg entering a value of 1024 would result in BDRB creating an mp4 file with a size as close to 1GB as possible.

Do you know if bdrb will process SD movie DVD's made by DVD Shrink and convert them to mp4 files?

Thanks again.

Hi jdobbs
I have made lots of blu ray movies using BD Rebuilder so I decided to give it a try to Blu Ray 3d. I used the same settings that I use when I do normal movies: Full backup, target size BD-25 and automatic quality settings. For setup I have this settings:
15138

The result is a perfect BD-25 gb movie with one problem, I lose the audio after 8 minutes, I have tried several movies and I always have the same problem, video is perfect, menu perfect, but I lose audio after 8 minutes. Here is a sample from the movie San Andreas:

Cinavia?

(Sidenote: It is generally not a good idea to have the WORKFILES folder removed for problem analysis)

Hi
Thanks for your answer.
I don't think it is cinavia because the same movie burnt in a 50GB Blu Ray without compressing it with Bd Rebuilder works perfectly.

Hmmm, the first thing that I thought of too was Cinavia... But, would it take EIGHT minutes to kick in...???

Anyway, FULLY agree with our friend above. I personally ALWAYS keep the Workfiles until I am COMPLETELY satisfied that everything went well...

[hgvm]

Hi
Thanks for the advice, I will change the setting and keep the workfiles.
On the adudio problem, could it be a problem with Windows 10?

What does MediaInfo report about your .m2ts file?

I notice that you're keeping the original audio intact. Just as a test, try unclicking the first two audio options on the SETUP menu. That way it will reencode the audio. It's worth a try.

Thank you very much for your answer, I will try what you suggest and I will post the results as soon as I have them.
I know is not cinavia because when I burn the same movie to a 50Gb blu ray it works fine, the problem is after compressing it to fit in a 25gb blu ray. Also I have tried with at least 5 3D movies and all have the same problem. With normal movies I never had any problem like this using Bd Rebuilder, it is just with the 3d movies.

Thanks again for the answerI'll go back and check to be sure -- but I'm pretty sure the audio processing is exactly the same between the two processes. The only difference I can think of is the muxing and the way the mpls/clpi files are built -- and I don't see a way in which that could limit the length of just the audio.

What kind of player are you using?

[MrVideo]

@lathe cinavia can take anything from 5 seconds to 20 minutes to kick in.

The first time you play a Cinavia infected movie, it will take ~20 minutes. If you stop playback and wait for a little bit, then it can take as little as 5 seconds. IIRC, if you wait longer than 30 minutes, then it will take the 20 minutes again.

[Ch3vr0n]

No it won't take approx 20 minutes. That 20 minutes is an established 'window' in which detection takes place, some find it faster than others. Some take 20min's, others have 5 minutes or less and yes that effect applies to the initial detection!

I have 4 files with the name you mention in the working folder, but they have another extension:
AUD_00098_4352.AVS
AUD_00098_4353.AVS
AUD_00098_4354.AVS
AUD_00098_4356.AVS
But these files only weight 1Kb.

I do have files with .ac3 extension, but they have the following name:
00098.track_4352.ac3 Size:377MB Duration: 2 hours 17 minutes
00098.track_4353.ac3 SIze:26MB Duration: 8 Minutes 12 Seconds
00098.track_4354.ac3 Size:26MB Duration: 8 Minutes 12 Seconds
00098.track_4356.ac3 Size:26MB Duration: 8 Minutes 12 Seconds

I played all the files and the 00098.track_4352.ac3 seems to be the Audio of the main movie in English, this file looks like has the whole movie Audio because it last 2 hours 17 minutes.
The 00098.track_4353.ac3 is English with some comentary but only last 8 minutes 12 seconds.
The 00098.track_4354.ac3 file is french but only last 8 minutes 12 seconds.
And finally the 00098.track_4356.ac3 file is spanish but only last 8 minutes 12 seconds.

And FYI it's not a tool designed to rip before processing the rip with bdrb. It's designed as a ripper AND shrink tool.

BDRB doesn't rip discs as far as I know. I use HDdecrypter (part of dvdfab)

There may be a way to configure BDRB to remove cinavia or there may be a better decrypter that will.

I'm looking for friendly advice to remove cinavia, thats all.
Not looking to offend any one.

Merry Christmas :)

Except that someone sent me an audio file after AnyDVD got done with it and it sucked. The program needs a lot of work. The audio sounded like you were in a tunnel at times, plus other audible errors.

[Ch3vr0n]

It's only a first attempt at fixing it, I never said it was perfect. It's no worse than what dvd-ranger first had, hell they even accused slysoft of stealing their code because of it. It will improve, it will just take some time.

@Jdobbs: having a bit of an issue here. Just updated DGdecNV to build 2051 (don't know if it's related though) Now my encode fails.

Hey now...no fair! I don't get my Ant-Man until next week!

....;)

[Ch3vr0n]

@Jdobbs

Different disc: Same problem

logs and other needed files attached.

Too big to post in a reply

no bd-rebuilder.ini settings changed.

its as if the file gets split fine into 2 parts for the encoding part, but that info is not written into the meta file and it looks for a single video file. This can probably be fixed with a command line change, but i don't have the technical knowhow to know what needs to be changed.

[MrVideo]

It's only a first attempt at fixing it, I never said it was perfect. It's no worse than what dvd-ranger first had, hell they even accused slysoft of stealing their code because of it. It will improve, it will just take some time.

Yep, I expect that it will indeed improve.

[emilio99]

Open up a command window in admin mode. Set yourself to the BD-RB folder (where MSCOMCTL.OCX is found). Then manually type in the command from the BAT file. Example:

C:\APPS\BD_REBUILDER> regsvr32 MSCOMCTL.OCX

Thanks, this works.

But now next error: I'm using LAV Filters and get the error:

It appears your Windows 7+ System has been configured for use with LAV...Would you like BD Rebuilder to reconfigure it for you?

-> Yes doesn't work as Admin rights are needed.
-> Running as admin still doesn't work, I get the same bluescreen.

How can I configure LAV manually and which settings are to be done?

any ideas?

[Rich86]

I honestly don't know if this is really a bug, but I can't seem to resolve it, so I'll throw it out here for discussion.

When using batch mode, if I stack 2 operations that are different in some ways, the batch operation will not switch modes correctly.

Example (I hope I describe this correctly):
. operation #1 in the batch = a movie only backup from a 2 layer BD to compress a title greater than 25gb to fit on a single layer BD-R. that worked fine.
. operation #2 in the batch = a "full backup" in "edit mode" of the same title, removing the large main movie video processed in operation #1, so the remainder of the of disc easily fits on a 25gb BD-R. this operation did not work correctly, as BD-RB proceeded to process the entire disc to compress it down to fit on a 25gb BD-R.

I did not notice if the problem was that it did not realize what I specified would fit easily within a single layer BD-R (when I did it standalone, the output was less than 10gb) OR it ignored my blanking of the main video playlist.

This has happened before, so I expect BD-RB just can't deal with this kind of combination of tasks in batch mode. But if someone has an idea of something I may have done wrong, I'd be glad to hear of it.

As always, many thanks to JDobbs superb program & efforts!

And Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to everyone.

btw . . I wanted to send JDobbs a little something for Christmas, but I get the message "This recipient is currently unable to receive money." when I click on the Donations link in one of JDobbs' post. Is there a problem? Is he ok?

Jdobbs is fine, i think. It's paypal. They locked his accountt because of the nature of BDRB. "processes copyrighted content". Though havent seen him online in a while

So - will paypal also be locking any accounts associated with word processing? Graphics manipulation? Audio processing? They are, of course banning all businesses related in any way with photocopying, right? Cameras also? Ridiculous . . .

[Ch3vr0n]

don't know the exact details but jdobbs posting something along those lines i think. All i know for sure is that they locked it down.

[Rich86]

What are you trying to do?
Source Material? - Disc, file, etc.
Object? Blu-Ray, DVD, etc.?

Generally speaking, based on my use of the program, it is more a question of what subtitles you do not want . but we do not know what your source material is and what you want as output.

[gonca]

Can someone tell me what settings I need to select to make sure BD Rebuilder keeps all subtitles that are on a disc?

In setup select all the languages for subtitles

Thanks gonca

I'm not sure if the .MP4 extension supports mass of subtitles. Or even one track for that matter. Seems like a had a problem in that regard once upon a time. MKV will definitely support it though.

Merry Christmas to jdobbs and all at Doom9 forum...

[Capsbackup]

Kind of hard to believe all this BD-RB fun started back in 2008! 7 Years and one amazing program! :D
Thanks so much for your incredible generosity jdobbs.

:thanks:

[DoctorM]

Anyone know where the quick menu information is kept? I'm trying to make some manual tricks to work around my problem, but it doesn't look like BD Rebuilder puts it anywhere. Which wouldn't make sense.

[Sharc]

We may add DVD-Rebuilder to the history, which started back in 2004 (I think).
Thank you , jdobbs!
:thanks:

[AmigaFuture]

A big huge Winter Solstice and all year around appreciation thanks from me as well.

DoctorM: It's all within BDREBUILDER.INI from what I see. I have used Quick-Play a few times but haven't attempted to use it past what JD has created via GUI. Using Ashampoo UnInstaller 4, I didn't see any changes made to the Registry or files other than BDREBUILDER.INI when I choose a different background to use. When looking at the Time and Date stamp and the contents of it, it changed. But, I don't know what you're looking for.

[Winenut]

I noticed this problem first with Man from Uncle (using RB 50.04), 2-3 occurrences in the film. I also see it quite a bit with MI5 Rogue Nation.

The problem is after processing for Movie Only (with or without HD Audio and with or without compression), occasionally a Forced Subtitle will just hang...and not go away. This happens first in Rogue Nation at 14:45 into the film.

Note that it occurs regardless of which re-encoding options I've used (not all of them), which Blu-Ray player (3 different players), or using Splash Pro. It does not occur if I merely play the M2TS file from the original folder...or from a BD50 burn of the original folder. Only if it's been processed by BD Rebuilder (currently 50.11)...even if the original video and audio are kept.

I tried upgrading FFDSHOW to the last one I could find that you recommended (4515) from 4422. But I don't think was even used, and it had no effect (at least with no compression on my last run). And the latest version of Inspect continued to show it as Not Recommended. Just as it shows for AVISYNTH, despite numerous posts indicating that 2.5.8.0 was acceptable.

- Windows Version: 6.1 [7600]
- AVISYNTH Version: 2.5.8.0, not recommended version
- HAALI Splitter: Ok
- FFDSHOW: 4515, not recommended version
- WIN7 preferred AVC CODEC: Ok
- WIN7 preferred VC-1 CODEC: Ok
- WIN7 preferred MPEG2 CODEC: Ok
- FFDSHOW VC-1 set to "wmv9", Ok
- FFDSHOW MPEG2 set to "libavcodec": Ok
- FFDSHOW AVC set to "libavcodec": Ok
- More info available if run from BD-RB folder

Interestingly enough, if run from the BD Rebuilder Folder (where RB 50.11 is), I get "BD-RB vUNKNOWN, not current"

Note that I've never before had this problem...and everything works just fine.

Any suggestions?

When looking at the Time and Date stamp and the contents of it, it changed. But, I don't know what you're looking for.

I was looking for where the disc and video names were located when you customize the quick start menu. It seems to be saved somewhere that it can be retrieved even if you change input disc and then come back. It's not in any .ini that I've gone through. It's not saved in the .epr if you save a project.

Edit: My problem with the disc build I posted above is apparently because I was using BD5 as a target. Switched it to BD25 and the menus succeeded. I'll just rebuild it a second time BD5.

[gonca]

Is there a file called titles.inf in your source folder?

[jdobbs]

Merry Christmas everyone!

Not sure what you consider the Source Folder, unless you mean the BD source, but neither there, the BD Rebuilder folder nor the Working Directory.

[jdobbs]

Not sure what you consider the Source Folder, unless you mean the BD source, but neither there, the BD Rebuilder folder nor the Working Directory.It's only retained if you are working from hard drive. If you are working from a BD disc, it only exists in the import folder.

[DoctorM]

So if the source is on the HDD, are you saying the .ini will be saved in the source BD's folder? I've never seen BD Rebuilder drop anything there.

[gonca]

It does it for IMPORT >>> Quick Re author

Didn't get LAV to work so I installed FFDSHOW. But there is also a message that configuration is not correct: "FFDSHOW Not configured
It appears your Windows 7 System may not be configured for...Failure to do so may result in out-of-sync audio or encode failures."

Trying that BD Rebuilder set these parameters results in a bluescreen.

I did the following:
- 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".

- If you installed HAALI/FFDSHOW< Setup VC-1 decoding in the same way you did MPEG-2 in step 2B. For Vista or Windows 7+ using "Video Decoder Configuration" -- select "wmv9".

So if the source is on the HDD, are you saying the .ini will be saved in the source BD's folder? I've never seen BD Rebuilder drop anything there.It's a file called "titles.inf" and it is stored in \BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST. If you are importing more than one title (such as a series) it is kept so that if you try to create the menu over again, or output to another format (MP4 for example), the names used in the menu creation for each item is still available.

It only applies to imported BDs, DVDs, or Files.

Huh, is there an option to disable that? I can't say I'm fond of BDRB dropping files I don't know about (or now have to remember is there) in deep folders.

[jdobbs]

Huh, is there an option to disable that? I can't say I'm fond of BDRB dropping files I don't know about (or now have to remember is there) in deep folders.It doesn't hurt anything, and it is extremely useful. It's only there if you import.

If you don't like it -- then delete it. "Fond" has no play in it.

[gonca]

The titles.inf file has never caused me any issues, including playback on burnt discs or otherwise
Size wise -- it is about a 1 KB file

[jdobbs]

It can't cause issues. It is a backup folder. It is only referenced when one of the primary files are corrupted -- and even then the backup file is referenced by name.

When BD Rebuilder imports it creates every single file in the output structure -- so if you're worried about it "...dropping files I don't know about (or now have to remember is there)..." you're about 100 files too late. Let's stop being paranoid and get on to something productive, eh?

[gonca]

Assuming this part was aimed at me?
I understand, that is why I said it has never caused me any issues

[jdobbs]

It wasn't aimed at you. I was only reinforcing what you'd said.

[gonca]

Understood and thank you for responding
Re-encoding by nature implies modifying and "dropping" files to make it all work

[DoctorM]

It can't cause issues. It is a backup folder. It is only referenced when one of the primary files are corrupted -- and even then the backup file is referenced by name.

When BD Rebuilder imports it creates every single file in the output structure -- so if you're worried about it "...dropping files I don't know about (or now have to remember is there)..." you're about 100 files too late. Let's stop being paranoid and get on to something productive, eh?

Maybe there's some confusion in the terms here. I copy a BD to my HDD. I open BD Rebuilder and by the source path line I click 'Browse' and point to the folder on my HDD.

Now if I go to make a quickmenu it creates title.inf and drops it in .\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST.

What are the 99 other files BD Rebuilder is creating in the source path?
I'm not saying it's hurting anything, but something like BD Rebuilder shouldn't be making any modifications to the source directory. Why isn't this generated in the Working Path?

[jdobbs]

What are the 99 other files BD Rebuilder is creating in the source path?All of them during output.Why isn't this generated in the Working Path?Because it wouldn't be there when you need it....something like BD Rebuilder shouldn't be making any modifications to the source directoryIf it didn't make modifications... exactly what would it be doing? It creates the menu from scratch. How could it do that without modifications? It creates the structure. How could it do that without modifications? It reencodes all the video files. How could it do that without modifications? It has to update or (more often) replace every MPLS and CLPI file. How could it do that without modifications? So adding a single file of a few hundred bytes that is holds the names of the items in the menu it is creating (only to save the end user time and trouble in the event he/she decides to create other video file types of files from it or start the import over again, and it ONLY DOES IT WHEN IMPORTING) is somehow classified as "sinful" in this scenario?

If you are dissatisfied with how BD Rebuilder works, you are welcome to use something else. The disadvantage of freeware is that I don't get compensated for my time. The advantage is that I don't have to open a complaints counter.

try using ImgBurn to rip the movie to HDD and see if there are any errors
the error message you are getting sounds like bad rips

@jdobbs - You misunderstand. Obviously the output files are all new.

I'm talking about it being placed in the INPUT folder. Found in the folder where the movie was copied directly to the HDD from BD-- I:\The Guns of Navarone\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST\Titles.inf

@raisingcanex
try using ImgBurn to rip the movie to HDD and see if there are any errors
the error message you are getting sounds like bad rips

Still getting the Fail to retrieve audio. I even tried starting with new rip to ISO with anydvd.

Still getting the Fail to retrieve audio. I even tried starting with new rip to ISO with anydvd.

Those errors indicate a possible corrupt source
Use TsMuxer to create a BD folder from that mpls, and see if it records any errors

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs - You misunderstand. Obviously the output files are all new.

I'm talking about it being placed in the INPUT folder. Found in the folder where the movie was copied directly to the HDD from BD-- I:\The Guns of Navarone\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST\Titles.inf
Here's the problem. The working folder is transient. It only holds data for a reencode/build when it is occurring. When you start another encode, it likely would be gone (overwritten). The building of titles for your imported source is something that happens before any of that starts. So lets say for example, you started importing and then aborted for some reason. If the titles you entered at the start of the import isn't saved somewhere -- somewhere specific to the disc being imported -- you have to start over. In the example in your post, that would mean you have reenter 20+ titles by hand. Let's say you want to create a group of .MP4 files for your iPad the next day --- again, you'd have to reenter all the names you'd already entered twice.

So I picked a nice safe place, one that is specific to the disc, and saved the titles there. This isn't unusual. AnyDVD, for example, creates a "disc.inf" file in the root of the disc when it is mounted. It also creates other folders (like ANY! and ANYVM) that are specific to its function. They're fine. That's because BD players only access specific files and folders -- those referenced in the standard. Any other filenames and/or folders are up for grabs.

So the way I did it, no matter when you want to use the information again... tomorrow, next year, or a decade from now -- you have the information available to you.

Reentering 20 titles can be a pain. But sometimes you may have discs where you create multiple seasons from a DVD on a single dual-layer BD. That might involve 100 titles. I, for one, don't want to have all that information that I collected to create the menu to simply disappear after all that trouble. So I saved it.

Note also, that the "titles.inf" file is also stored on the output disc. That way you can convert to another format at some point in the future as well -- and still retain all the information you entered.

The bottom line is that I did it this way because I just want to make it easier for the user. If it's really something that bothers you, I can put a hidden option that prevents it -- but, remember, that also puts the problem of reentry on your shoulders.

@DoctorM

BD >>> HDD
To be usable this requires decryption > removing files, adding files, modifying files
The copy on the HDD is not identical to the disc

Reentering 20 titles can be a pain. But sometimes you may have discs where you create multiple seasons from a DVD on a single dual-layer BD. That might involve 100 titles. I, for one, don't want to have all that information that I collected to create the menu to simply disappear after all that trouble. So I saved it.

Note also, that the "titles.inf" file is also stored on the output disc. That way you can convert to another format at some point in the future as well -- and still retain all the information you entered.

The bottom line is that I did it this way because I just want to make it easier for the user. If it's really something that bothers you, I can put a hidden option that prevents it -- but, remember, that also puts the problem of reentry on your shoulders.
Gotcha. I would have expected this sort of information saved the BD RB's folder, an AppData folder or if in the source some place obvious like AnyDVD. Thanks for the info.

Gotcha. I would have expected this sort of information saved the BD RB's folder, an AppData folder or if in the source some place obvious like AnyDVD. Thanks for the info.I'm storing it in what I think is the most logical place. The information represents a backup of the playlist titles in the BDMV. So it's in "BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST".

I'm still getting the Fail to retrieve audio. But this time I got a pop up that said "Wavi Error, will be aborted"

[emilio99]

In order to set the registry values that cause the message, BD-RB has to be run with administrative privileges. If you are getting a blue screen, I suspect there is something else wrong with your system.

I know why it is necessary but that is the problem that it doesnt't work in Windows 10 64 Bit.

This is the first issue I have, I don't think that the installation is corrupt and I do not reinstall.

I think there aren't many changes todo so I can do them manually, when I do know what exactly is to do ;)

[jdobbs]

I know why it is necessary but that is the problem that it doesnt't work in Windows 10 64 Bit.That isn't true. I personally installed it on Windows 10 64 bit with absolutely no issues, and am running it today. So something else is wrong. I'm happy to help you find the issue -- but by deciding it's the O/S you're looking in the wrong place. There's no reason why attempting to set a registry value should result in a blue screen.

[DoctorM]

I found a weird thing.
I noticed in the past that X264's internal LAVF frame server doesn't allow CRF encoding. That seems to be by design and is fine.

Today though I found if you were using a different frame server with CRF and then go and change to X264's LAVF, CRF is still greyed out, but active. The encodings are one pass and you can't deactivate it without switching frame server first.

I've always been curious about that too...

[Mark_Venture]

I noticed this problem first with Man from Uncle (using RB 50.04), 2-3 occurrences in the film. I also see it quite a bit with MI5 Rogue Nation.

The problem is after processing for Movie Only (with or without HD Audio and with or without compression), occasionally a Forced Subtitle will just hang...and not go away. This happens first in Rogue Nation at 14:45 into the film.

Note that it occurs regardless of which re-encoding options I've used (not all of them), which Blu-Ray player (3 different players), or using Splash Pro. It does not occur if I merely play the M2TS file from the original folder...or from a BD50 burn of the original folder. Only if it's been processed by BD Rebuilder (currently 50.11)...even if the original video and audio are kept.

I tried upgrading FFDSHOW to the last one I could find that you recommended (4515) from 4422. But I don't think was even used, and it had no effect (at least with no compression on my last run). And the latest version of Inspect continued to show it as Not Recommended. Just as it shows for AVISYNTH, despite numerous posts indicating that 2.5.8.0 was acceptable.

- Windows Version: 6.1 [7600]
- AVISYNTH Version: 2.5.8.0, not recommended version
- HAALI Splitter: Ok
- FFDSHOW: 4515, not recommended version

- FFDSHOW VC-1 set to "wmv9", Ok
- FFDSHOW MPEG2 set to "libavcodec": Ok
- FFDSHOW AVC set to "libavcodec": Ok
- More info available if run from BD-RB folder

Interestingly enough, if run from the BD Rebuilder Folder (where RB 50.11 is), I get "BD-RB vUNKNOWN, not current"

Note that I've never before had this problem...and everything works just fine.

Any suggestions?I don't have Man from Uncle, but I do have MI5. I have the same issue with its forced subs on Alt-MovieOnly MKV.

There was a similar issue with Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (a few of the forced subs stayed on the screen too long when burned into movie)... Not sure if that was ever resolved. But I think it was related to something in the subs on the original disc, rather than BD Rebuilder.

For now, I re-ran BD-Rebuilder, first unchecking Use Suptitle for Alternate Forced Subs... When BD rebuilder was completed, I used HdBrStreamextractor (https://code.google.com/p/hdbrstreamextractor/) to pull the SUP files from the BDRip, then used SubtitleEdit (http://www.videohelp.com/software/Subtitle-Edit) to open the SUP, check show only forced, click OCR, then save to .SRT. That is at least a work around.

[emilio99]

That will be true but this is the only application that results in a bluescreen. I can live with that because running as admin is not necessary only for the settings in the registry which I can do manually when I know them.

Subtitle 7
00:14:44,969 --> 00:14:47,263
Some guys break different than others.
gets stuck on... and stays there until the next subtitle at 15:32...

Subtitle 8
00:15:32,516 --> 00:15:34,393
So now let's see how tough you are.

For me, only that one subtitle (at 14:44) is a problem. So its not too bad. And I was able to work around it using .SRT

If its something you can't help with, its cool (because the SRT work around is there). Just wanted you to be aware of it...

[jdobbs]

I'll pick up "Mission Impossible 5" and test it. If I can repeat it, it shouldn't be hard to track down. The only thing I can imagine that could cause that is that 1) the original didn't have a "turn off" signal or 2) I'm missing it somehow. It's interesting that the SRT is working -- since it is the same code that detects each. Maybe the fix I'm remembering was only related to SRTs?

I have the same issue, the only difference is I am outputting to MP4 Container. We are talking about the burned in forced sub not turning off, right? What is kinda interesting is I also turned on the pgs to srt subs and English sub 3 seems to be the forced subs but, the sub that does not turn off doesn't appear if I also turn on English 3. All of the other subs appear twice except that one.

I'm not sure. I mean to make the SRT I used HdBrStreamextractor (https://code.google.com/p/hdbrstreamextractor/) to pull the SUP files from the rip. There were two of them. Then I used SubtitleEdit (http://www.videohelp.com/software/Subtitle-Edit) to open the 1_9_subtitle.SUP file, checked show only forced, clicked OCR, corrected any text mistakes, then saved to .SRT.

The 1_10_subtitle.sup didn't appear to include forced subtitles. (at least the "show only forced" is grayed out).

That would be great if you figure it out... but if its something in the movie itself, or you don't see anything wrong, for me its fine the way it is.

But BD-RB will do the PGS to SRT conversion for you if you install Tesseract, point to it, and enable it in SETUP. It works very well with English subs -- other languages will sometimes need editing before rebuild. (See CHANGES.TXT for details) I plan to add some improvements and make it better for other languages when I get some extra time. Unfortunately I've had to spend a lot of my time on another project (that actually puts food on the table) for the past few months -- so I haven't done much with BD-RB lately. That one is close to finished, so I should be working BD-RB improvements soon.

Please post the log for that job if you have it.

(had some family issues so I missed a few months of discussions here) I'll have to try it! It would be interesting to see if the SRT for MI5 produced by BD-RB & Tesseract matches the SRT I made manually.

I'll give it a try later today.
... Unfortunately I've had to spend a lot of my time on another project (that actually puts food on the table) for the past few months -- so I haven't done much with BD-RB lately.No need to explain. With BD-RB being donations supported, I would never expect it to be your primary focus.

It was, until paypal decided to lock the account. no news yet on a replacement method.

[Mark_Venture]

Ok, I just installed Tesseract per the changes.txt file and re-ran MI5... Other than the mention of "Converting PGS subs to SRT format..." the log is the same.

The SRT it creates is different than the one I got using HdBrStreamextractor/SubtitleEdit manually... I'm attaching both files (00800.track_9999.srt of course made via BD-RB and Tesseract, and MISSION_IMPOSSIBLE_5.srt I made by HdBrStreamextractor/SubtitleEdit)..

While the times are off ever so slightly over all, which is not a big deal, take a look at the TEXT of the subtitles in the BD-RB/Tesseract created SRT, especially 6 through 11... There are a few missing, and one is even blank.

Weird thing is, the tesseract.exe file is exactly the same between BD-RB that you had packaged, and what is part of SubtitleEdit v3.3.6 that i I had used to do it manually. I did not compare the other files in the folders.

Something weird is happening with the last two backups I've tried. One is Trainwreck (hilarious btw) and the other is Fast and Furious 7. Both are Universal titles with DTS-Master Audio, Trainwreck is 5.1 and FnF is 7.1. When encoding to BD9 and re-encoding DTS to AC3@640 there is no audio with either title!

If I keep the DTS core with either title then the audio works. Logs below for Fnf. I've deleted the logs for Trainwreck but the same thing happens. Any help/suggested. Thanks!

Before the last two encodes above I did both MI5 and Terminator Genesis BD9 both having Dolby Atmos 7.1 tracks and keeping only the core AC3 tracks@640. Both work perfectly. Don't know what's up with reencoding DTS to AC3. Have been doing that forever and never had the above problem. Any help/suggestions appreciated!

Are you sure you have them selected? Your logs should have a line like this in it somewhere:

- [15:02:23] Processing audio tracks
- Track 4352 (eng): Reencoding audio to AC3...

All I see is the first line. The second one would show, even if the encode ran into trouble.

All I see is the first line. The second one would show, even if the encode ran into trouble.The second log I posted does show that once it gets down to encoding the movie. The first few parts are the menus (already AC3) and Universal screen savers etc that have no audio. I've also tried to do a movie only and the problem persists. No audio when converting DTS to AC3...

I have fast and furious 7 and will run a test encode if you wish

The process does re-encode from DTS HD-MA to AC3 640
However, the result is not 5.1 ch but is 1 ch according to mediainfo

Windows told me multiple files were longer duration than they were, and mediainfo, said they were a mere 9 seconds total. Suffice to say, I don't trust MediaInfo, or Windows to correctly report anymore. Which is unfortunate. Because when I only require one file for my dealings, it helps when it's accurately reported ;)

I wanted to remux an imported PAL DVD to mkv, keeping video and audio intact (profile [00028] in the alternate.txt)
BD-RB finished without error but left me with a small (20MB) .mkv file only.
I suspect something went wrong with the remuxing, because importing and streams extraction etc. went well.

I could remux the intermediate .m2ts successfully with mkvtoolnix btw.
I could also re-encode successfully with BD-RB, so it seems to be only the "intact" mode which fails)

Any idea?

[Ch3vr0n]

Check the audio, if it's atmos that's your problem. It's not an officially supported codec in the standard. It's an extension of it. You'll need to keep original audio or check if the audio converter eac3to? has an update that supports atmos. Bdrb doesn't officially support atmos.

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met TapatalkNot an Atmos problem. As I mentioned a few posts up, both movies in question are Universal titles with DTS-MA. When trying to re-encode the DTS-MA to AC3 for BD9 the audio does not play. When keeping the DTS core it does. Other non-Universal titles do not have this problem, at least for me.

BDRB may not "officially" support Dolby Atmos but I also mentioned that I recently backed up MI5 and Terminator Genisys, both with Dolby Atmos to BD9. At BD9 BDRB uses the Atmos core@640 so no re-encoding is necessary...

Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met TapatalkBut Atmos is just an extension to a supported CODEC... so it should work.

[jdobbs]

So what do you think jdobbs? This only recently started to happen on Universal titles, at least for me...I'll pickup "Trainwreck" and do some testing. I saw that one at the theater, and it's definitely a keeper.

FWIW, the newest version of Eac3to does indeed recognize and process Atmos tracks now...

[spotswood]

But Atmos is just an extension to a supported CODEC... so it should work.It does, mentioned that above...

I'll pickup "Trainwreck" and do some testing. I saw that one at the theater, and it's definitely a keeper.FYI, it just ran both Trainwreck and Fast n Furious 7 through ClownBD re-encoding the DTS-MA to AC3@640 and both came out perfect. So something's up...

FWIW, the newest version of Eac3to does indeed recognize and process Atmos tracks now...I don't think BDRB uses eac3to...

[Lathe]

I don't think BDRB uses eac3to...

No, it doesn't, but just in reply to Ch3vr0n's comment about whether it did or didn't handle Atmos. I know, because I was sitting here waiting forever for them to update it :)

[Sharc]

Not really. I'll test it and see if I find anything...

File sizes of all intermediate files are correct and the files are playable.

I tried with another DVD. Same problem. Alternate output to .mkv with intact audio and intact video fails, outputting a small .mkv only which is not playable. BD-RB finishes without error though.

I just tested it with an NTSC DVD source and it works fine. Unfortunately I don't have a PAL disc to test.

[Edit] Never mind, I found one in a box. I knew I had some for testing. I'll run some tests and see what I can find.

[Mark_Venture]

Back to forced sub titles...

I just did The Walk.... Other than slight offset time difference (like a few thousandths of a second), the SRT of the forced subs made by BDRB looks the same as the SRT made the manual way (HdBrStreamExtractor/SubTitleEdit)

So the forced sub issue on MI5 maybe movie specific.

Could you post your settings? I can't find anything wrong.

So the forced sub issue on MI5 maybe movie specific.Thanks. I still need to fix it though. If it happens in one it will happen again. Unfortunately debugging the subtitle streams isn't as simple as one might think. Just when you think you've found consistency -- there's an exception that comes along.

[gonca]

If you want to hang on a little, I've started importing a bunch of my old dvds. If I encounter more of these I'll report them
Possible I might hit upon one you might already have from DVD_RB development days
With the PayPal issue there is no point in you spending money if it isn't needed

@Sharc

I ran the job with your settings file -- and the import/alternate build all went perfectly. I'm not sure what else I can do. Are you running all the recommended versions of the helper software? Any chance you're using a different version of MKVMERGE?

With the exception of the x264.exe, yes. But this should not matter for intact video, -- and everything goes well when I re-encode the video.
I double checked the MKVMERGE and MKVEXTRACT. It's the version which came with BD-RB (maybe you want to include these in the versions check?). Strange.

Now you mention versions: I upgraded DGIndexNV recently to version 2051. Let me try with the former one.
I'll report back.

Edit:
No luck. Same problem. I will try now with the latest version of MKVMERGE .....

Edit2:
Success! MKVMERGE version 8.8.0.0 solved the problem.

[gonca]

I can confirm Sharc's findings

[jdobbs]

I just wonder why it is an issue for you, but not for me. Anyway, I'll upgrade and do some testing to see if I should include 8.8.0.0 in the next release.

[nozuul]

Not a bug report, just a question.

Can BD Rebuilder be "fooled" into performing the rebuild phase without needing to extract and encode all of the A/V streams again if you first select No subtitles and then select All subtitles?

The job was a full backup of a blu-ray output to 25 GB.

Just curious as I notice that all of the .sup files are in the Workfiles folder anyway.

Thanks!

CoreyFirst select all subs in setup. Then open up the appropriate INF file in the working folder and then edit the SUBS_TO_KEEP line. Just set it to "all" (without the quotes). It should then rebuild using all the subs.

[nozuul]

Maybe I am missing something, but when I tried that, it still tells me the working path is not empty, delete all old files?

No aborts the process, yes starts from scratch. I even tried deleting the movie output folder, just the files in the output folder, and get the same message.

Any ideas?

Thanks again,

[jdobbs]

That message comes up when one of the settings has changed (a difference between the INF and the current settings). If you first select all the subs, and then edit the INF -- the settings should match. Have you changed any other settings? You did edit the INF for that specific job, right? Not the INI?

[nozuul]

Yeah, it was the INF file I fiddled with, while matching the settings, or so I thought. I thought subtitles were the only thing I messed with, so I must have done something wrong. Strange.

So my problem was with Fox Entertainment titles only. Fantastic? Four and the incredibly fantastic The Martian. Subs were on when I played the backups even though the player was set to no subtitles. I ran The Scorch Trials at the same time I did those, and it did not have that issue.

Then I checked my version of Rebuilder and saw that it was the second to last release. I installed the newest and tried again. No luck. Subs remained on. I was trying to run it again with or without subs without a complete re-start, but I had no luck with that as well.

What did work was just not including any Subs. :)

Thanks for the help.

[jdobbs]

Something is out-of-whack. BD Rebuilder doesn't have the ability to override your player settings (and couldn't even if it wanted to). The only way that could happen is if you hard-coded the subtitles into the picture.

[spotswood]

Although I haven't made any system changes recently (other than updating MPC-HC to the most recent version), I re-ran both of the above mentioned Universal titles I was having problems with after uninstalling and reinstalling BD Rebuilder and related software.

Low and behold re-encoding the DTS-MA to AC3 w/BD9 worked like it's supposed to. Don't know if updating MPC-HC had anything to do with my problem, as it has it's own set LAV Filters built-in which may have caused conflicts. Also don't know why it didn't work with just Universal titles. I opted not to install the LAV Filters w/BD Rebuilder this time and everything seems to be back to normal. I now return you to your regularly scheduled back-ups... ;^)

[jdobbs]

Thanks for the update. Sometimes other software, especially video related software, may change registry settings etc. that might affect BD-RB. Luckily, as was your case, a reinstall often fixes it.

I agree it is strange, but I can't figure it out. It is not hard coded though. I tried the disks on a friends different BD player as well and the English subs were on unless a different language was selected, at which time the English subs were replaced by said language. I even tried selecting English to see if that would be off in this case.

Only other info I could provide is that I do have SupTitle installed in AVI synth. I also have the box checked for forced alternate subs, however, I was doing complete disk backups and had not made any modifications to the subtitle selections in the Stream window. In other words, I did not right click English and select Turn On.

Anyway, maybe just a quirk. It works by selecting none.

Thanks again.

[Lathe]

Just curious...

I don't do this often, but when importing an HEVC encoded MKV file (I think I did it once before) I notice while 'preparing' the files it says 'Converting codec to compatible format' Okay, understandable. But, since it isn't actually 'encoding' the movie yet like it normally does, what EXACTLY is it doing to 'convert' from HEVC to x264 and yet it hasn't actually started the official encode yet...? It also takes a LONG time too, and I also see the x264 in my task manager. So, is it actually doing kind of a 'Pre' encode first or what? And since the normal parameters for the 'Official' re-encode aren't even set yet, what exactly is it doing and what parameters is it using to convert it to x264 since I haven't set anything yet...?

Just curious, since I really don't use this feature with HEVC very often.

Thanks!

Thanks!Since HEVC isn't a part of the BD standard, the picture is being reencoded to AVC (at an almost lossless CRF setting). If you look at the resulting M2TS file you'll see it is pretty big.

It's interesting that you'd mention this. In the next release of BD-RB I have changed the way it acts with HEVC. Since I recently realized that the latest release of TSMUXER will allow it, the new BD-RB version will mux it intact into the pseudo-BD folder. It will also do the same with AAC audio -- even though neither of the two types are a part of the BD standard. I've decided that since it's a "pseudo" folder that might already have illegal characteristics anyway, I should avoid the additional encoding required.

I've also added a new experimental "ARCHIVE" mode for backing up that will allow a fixed quality (CRF) archive backup (in AVC or HEVC) of a disc. The HEVC archive wouldn't be meant for direct playback -- but instead for keeping a high-quality yet low storage space backup of a complete disc for future access. At some point in the future I expect HEVC to be supported in BD (for UHD/4K) - and hopefully it will support its use for SD/HD as well.

You should see the new version of BD-RB in the next day or two.

Wow, that is most interesting! Thank you kindly for taking the time to explain this. Hmmm, lossless, that makes sense.

The 'Archive' feature sounds quite intriguing, since I mirror or back up a lot of my more critical, rare, or foreign Blu-rays in full now on HDDs and they DO take up a LOT of space. I wonder how much quality would be lost backing them up in HEVC and then if later you have to retrieve them, extracting them back into BDMV form?

Sounds great, thanks again!

[varekai]

the latest release of TSMUXER

Is there a newer version from 'Physic' of TSMUXER (2.6.12)?

Looking forward to a new version BDRB! :)

[jdobbs]

regardsI'm not aware of a newer version... that was the one I was referencing. It supports HEVC and AAC muxing into a BD format. It sets the types to 0x6 (for HEVC) and 0xF (for AAC) when it muxes them. Neither those types nor those formats are a part of the BD standard.

[varekai]

OK! Thanks.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent update to BD Rebuilder (v0.50.12). Changes for this release:- Fixed an error that could cause an encode
failure on imported sources when their size
adjustment might result in an odd height.
- Updated FRIMEncode command line so hardware
encoding (when selected) is explicitly
called out.
- Corrected an issue in which selecting FRIM
as the primary encoder for 2D was failing
when LAV filters were in use (rather than
FFDSHOW).
- Corrected an issue in which selecting LAVF
while CRF was enabled could fail to properly
disable it.
- Fixed a problem in which forced subtitles
and/or SRT converted titles might "hang" at
some points. Also fixes possible missing
subtitles in SRT conversion.
- Added an experimental ARCHIVE mode to the
MODE menu. It must be enabled by adding an
ARCHIVE_ENABLE=1 setting to the INI (see
HIDDENOPTS.TXT). This mode does a full
backup using a fixed quality level (user
selectable). Output size is variable based
upon the selected ARCHIVE_CRF setting. Good
for creating archival full backups that will
use the minimum space necessary for a given
quality.
- Modified the handling of HEVC/AAC sources
during import. They are no longer forced to
be reencoded before being remuxed into the
pseudo-BD structure. This eliminates encoding
twice, once during import and again when
creating final BD folder. It also enables
the capability of HEVC-based ARCHIVE backups
(note: HEVC & AAC are, as yet, not a part of
the BD standard).
- Updated the source engine so it can handle
sources that contain HEVC & AAC video/audio
tracks (with TSMUXER style type descriptors).
Note: This type of source is not, as yet, a
part of the BD standard.
- Update MKVMERGE and MKVEXTRACT to a newer
(v8.8.0.0) release.
- Updated the included version of X265 to a
newer release (01/05/2016).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to
the latest release (r2665).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE
to the latest release (r2665).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

@jdobbs
Thank you for the new release.
Is the new ARCHIVE mode any different from putting FIXED_CRF=xx in the .ini?
I am probably missing something..... :confused:

Edit:
Oh I see there is a switch for x264/x265. Now the question is: Does the new option ARCHIVE_CRF=xx overrule the FIXED_CRF=xx?

[ricoman]

Downloaded v. 0.50.12 when I tried to open it I received the messages that my win 7+is configured with LAV and the default decoder hasn't been set properly in the registry and might cause out of sync audio. It them asks if I would like BDRebuilder to reconfigure it. When I click Yes, I immediately get a message with a runtime error '75' Path/File access error. I unninstalled and reinstalled BDR but got same messages. It says win 7 but am running win 10. Any ideas what's wrong?

Frankly I just created it for myself in order to create smaller HEVC backups that keep the BD structure -- and decided to make it available to anyone else who is interested.

I see, thank you.

A minor issue:
The default downresize filter seems to be spline16resize -- the hiddenopts.txt suggests that it should be BilinearResize.
(I didn't set the filter in the .ini, so it should be at its default).

[varekai]

Thanks for the update jdobbs! Appreciate it a lot!
Still no way to donate?
January is always a hellish month moneywise but it'll soon be over...

(I didn't set the filter in the .ini, so it should be at its default).I just looked at the code. For DOWNRESIZE the default is BilinearResize -- for UPRESIZE the default it Spline16Resize. Either you have it set to change in the INI or you are doing an upsizing.

[Sharc]

I just looked at the code. For DOWNRESIZE the default is BilinearResize -- for UPRESIZE the default it Spline16Resize. Either you have it set to change in the INI or you are doing an upsizing.
Hmm .... is this the same for alternate output?
My source is a BD 1920x1080, alternate output is .mkv, 1280x720, profile [0018] in alternate.txt
The script:
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.50.12
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files Video\DGdecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("C:\TEMP\BD REBUILDER\WORKFILES\VID_00012.DGI", fieldop=0)
Spline16Resize(1280,720)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(24000,1001)
I do not have DOWNRESIZE= or UPRESIZE= in my .ini......

[jdobbs]

It follows a different path with ALTERNATE. I'll check it out.

[Edit] Ok. I looked at it, and the UPRESIZE value is being used when outputting to 1280x720 in ALTERNATE mode. Apparently I made a wrong assumption there. Of course it won't hurt anything, as Spline16Resize will work fine... but it should change filters depending upon the input video's size, and it's not.

[datman]

Don't know if think is a bug error.

Spy after running bdrb (latest) about 10 min into it the lip-sync goes way off. When the file is played through my Oppo be 105d. It plays better through the PC but now the video becomes shaky frequently. The original plays fine as does the rip from the PC.

It has been a very long time since I had an issue that was caused by bdrb. So this may be some other issue.

[ricoman]

Did you run it in administrative mode the first time? If not, then do so. It needs to have administrative privileges when it sets the registry.

[bjones]

should there be any quality difference, one being noticeably better than the other, in using the FRIM (I'm guessing equals Intel Quicksync since I'm using on-board HD4600 video) vs the x264 one ?

jdobbs - thanks for the great update that makes FRIM work painlessly, just as a reference I did an encode yesterday - highest quality 2 pass and x264 took just over 5 hrs, exact same disk/settings except selected FRIM and it ran barely an hour, FPS during encode were in the 180's

For one thing FRIM only does one-pass ABR encoding... so that limits it considerably. But, if the encoding isn't that challenging, you probably won't notice a difference. I think where you would see it is in the encodes that need a lot of compression (e.g. outputting to a BD-5 or BD-9 [DVD media]).

Then I think I should be fine going with FRIM usually, I almost always go to BD-25 just to get it to one disk with all the extras/subs/xtra audio tracks gone. I'll keep it in mind and use x264 to do the alternate ones I compress down to put on my iPad though - thanks

Hello.

i have a question about Harry Potter 1 Ultimate Edition.
When i try to resize the movie to bd-25 size, the subtitles are displayed at the correct time, but the audio and the movie itself is a bit behind the further the movie is.
At the beginning everything is fine.
And the original is also doing it perfectly.
It doesn't matter if i do a full or a movie only backup btw.
Does anybody else here got the same problem?
For the other movies it is working great!!

Hey, I was just trying the new version with that same HEVC file (MKV) that I did before and asked about. But, it LOOKS like it is doing the exact same thing...??? After extracting the A/V files, it also began 'converting into a compatible format' Isn't this newer version simply supposed to create a Pseudo folder and THEN later during the actual encode, do whatever conversions that it needs to do?

Did I miss something...?

Yep, I just checked the Temp/Import folder, and it LOOKS like after extracting the HEVC file it is definitely creating a new x264 file.

Hmmmmm....???

[Easy4Breezy]

I've also read that it is important to have the original iso or the bdmv on a different drive while extracting, could this also be something I could try?
Or doesn't make it a difference at all?
Thanks!

Oh and right before a second I read that PowerDVD could be the issue..
MPC-HD is the best alternative isn't it?

Just some feedback on BD Rebuilder v0.50.12

(not related to BD Rebuilder directly, but worth mentioning...) When first unzipping, Symantec Antivirus deleted X265.exe as containing a virus, THEN prompted me (no option to ignore). After fixing that (restoring and telling SAV to ignore the file from now on) I tried to run MI5 to test subs. SAV also complained about X264.exe but its pop up allowed me to ignore, and BD-RB ran fine the rest of the way.


MI5's forced subs work fine after using BD-RB v0.50.12 doing Alt Movie Only MKV.

bitdefender also alterted a virus, but I think we can trust you ;)

1. Are you sure the source is HEVC? It's not XVID or some other format?
2. Are you sure you are using the correct version of BD-RB?

It's easy to tell that it hasn't been converted. After the import BD-RB will show the source (in the streams list) as HEVC.

Yeah, DL'd the newest version. It imports the HEVC which does show in the Import/Temp folder and then immediately afterward it takes a while to convert to the 'compatible' format and then creates a new, fairly large x264 file in the same folder. No big deal though... I can still use the resultant x264 file anyway, and this is only the 2nd time I've ever done this, and I don't really see myself using this particular feature very often.

I was just more curious really as to how BDRB dealt with the HEVC file, but regardless how it does it, the result is just fine.

Thanks JD!

Yeah, I dumped Norton A/V about 12 years ago. The footprint and resources it used were HUGE! I've been using AVAST, which is free for years, and it NEVER interferes with anything...

Thanks. I didn't know if I was doing something wrong or if it was a deliberate decision.

[colinhunt]

jdobbs, can you give me your educated guess on what might be causing the following peculiar problem?

Encode (Full Backup, with some audiotracks usually blanked out) runs and finishes without reported errors in log but output is undersized; sometimes by a couple of gigabytes, sometimes by more than 10 gigabytes. On inspection, one or more .m2ts files are clearly smaller than they should be. Target Size being BD-25 or Custom has no effect on this; problem occurs with both settings.

MediaInfo reports the expected, original runtime for undersized .m2ts files, but playing the files shows that the movie or episode in question is cut short. For example, a 45-minute episode of a TV show runs for 24 minutes and ends without warning in the middle of a sentence. Opening the output in BDInfo and selecting the corresponding playlist displays the shorter, actual runtime for both the playlist (for example 00501.mpls) and the linked .m2ts file.

This has happened several times in the past couple of months, on 0.50.11 and now on 0.50.12. It is not caused by a bad rip; I've played the source files on software players to check. There's nothing out of the ordinary in BD-REBUILDER.LOG, no mention of any issues or errors what-so-ever. Inspect gives me 10 x OK, no warnings.

Any ideas, theories?

Are you overclocked? The only thing I could imagine is if X264 is crashing mid-encode -- and the only time it ever seems to crash is on an overclocked system that is pushing it a bit too far. You might also want to try cleaning your heatsink -- as overheating is usually the issue.

Thanks for the reply. No, not overclocked at all. I'll check for overheating. But wouldn't x264 crashing in mid-encode result in "Encoding failed" error or something like that?

update: 65 minutes of Prime95, all cores at 100% the whole time. CoreTemp reports the hottest core reached a temp of 61 degrees Celsius, less than half an hour into the run. TjMax for Xeon X5660 is 96 degrees Celsius. I don't think this rig is anywhere near overheating.

[jdobbs]

Prime95 does not compare to X265. If you go back through this thread you'll find examples too numerous to mention in which Prime95 found nothing but the processor was overheating with X264.

I'm not saying overheating is your problem -- but I am saying Prime95 won't find it if it is.

BTW, maximum operating temperature for a Xeon X5660 (from what multiple sites say) is 81.3 degrees C.

Be that as it may, I don't think this is related to overheating. I've done several successful backups during the past couple of months, too. And wouldn't x264 crashing stop the entire backup process with an error message in the log?

And wouldn't x264 crashing stop the entire backup process with an error message in the log?Not necessarily. A crash of that type can prevent the executing program from returning an error code. I've seen it happen exactly like this before in cases of overclocking/overheating. I'd guess there may be other things that could cause it as well (such as memory failure/overheating, etc).

All I can say is that in every case I can remember where this symptom was reported it was related to system instability -- not BD-RB -- and no one else is reporting this issue right now, which seems to support that theory. That's pretty much all I have to go on.

[Lathe]

I was curious (again...) how would BDRB handle a movie file that had a 7.1 FLAC lossless audio file? Say that I imported it. What would it do with the audio?

I KNOW that this is not pertinent to the official Blu-ray standard, but as far as I can tell, if I want to make a FLAC 7.1 audio file 'legal' the only choice that I can see is to convert it using UsEac3to to PCM. But, FWIW, it makes the audio file pretty big, and the bit rate goes up from about 5000 to 9000, which I am sure is overkill.

Any thoughts...?

Thanks!

I ran another Full Backup last night. CoreTemp logged CPU temperatures for the session, and the hottest core reached 57 degrees Celsius. Judging by the output size this backup finished successfully.

I have a theory for what might have caused the problems described earlier. Does BD-RB check in any way that the OS managed to read the entire file during x264 encoding? For example, does it compare source file's number of frames to output's number of frames?

Ah, didn't know that. Thanks!There are actually several kinds of DTS and AC3 that are supported (e.g. the HD extensions). I just didn't want to list them.

[Sharc]

My source is a captured .avi, captured from tape. Video is huffyuv lossless compressed (9GB for 7 minutes video), audio is LPCM stereo. The .avi file is playable with SW player; video and audio are in sync.

Import of the .avi in BD-RB works fine, temporary .mkv container is correctly generated and playable. But when trying to extract the streams from the .mkv BD-RB exits with an error:

[22:34:32] Importing AVI: CAPTURE_(2016-01-29_AT_22-22-57)

Any idea what could be wrong?

Edit:
I stay corrected: Video is not huffyuv but is uncompressed "YUV 4:2:2 as for UYVY but with different component ordering within the u_int32 macropixel" (MediaInfo).
I try again with huffyuv now .....

Currently supported video imports are: AVC/H.264, HEVC/H265, VC-1, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, XVID, and several DIVX formats. I could easily support more as long as I know the MediaInfo signature and it's supported by LAVF. But frankly the ones I have cover about 99% of typical video files.

Dude, your program does so DAMN much and is so awesome, I almost hafta change my pants every time I use it! :D

Seriously, THANK GOODNESS the days are behind me where I would spend hours and hours and hours trying to figure out re-authoring programs like Hybrid and such. What a PAIN that was. Now, with BDRB I can EASILY do bloody everything I want to do without having to sweat a cryptic interface or endless confusing parameters. It does just the RIGHT amount of stuff!

BTW, just a quickie...

Is there anyway for the Quck Play menu to show more characters or longer titles? I am SO bloody verbose in my file naming that it usually gets truncated a little. Not really that important, but I'd thought I'd ask...

Thanks!

@jdobbs
I understand that your comment refers to my .avi import question (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1755297&postcount=23573), right? Apparently the (lossless) HUFFYUF video is currently not supported for import, correct?
I can try to capture the tape to one of the supported formats. Actually I hate the idea to capture real-time and compress on the fly (poor quality or dropping frames due to CPU overload).
Well, using BD-RB for archiving my video tapes is certainly somewhat special, but at least PayPal could drop their concerns and sleep more quietly.... :D

Another semi-related query...

I want to back up my STAR TREK: TNG Blu-rays, but, especially with the first few seasons, I don't really care for or want to back up very many of the episodes. I have AnyDVD which in cases with films, I would simply decrypt the disc to my HDD and then use BDRB to do whatever I wanted to do.

But, since I only want a few episodes off of the DL BD-50 discs that the episodes come on, do I still HAVE to rip the entire 45 Gigs or so to my HDD before I can select the few episodes that I want to keep or back up? In other words, have any of you here ever had that situation where you only wanted a small part of a large disc like that? And, is there ANY other way just to extract the episodes that I want WITHOUT having to take a whole hour a disc to rip the WHOLE disc to my HDD using AnyDVD? Is it possible to have AnyDVD running in the background and would it decrypt 'on the fly' so to speak while I could somehow select only certain episodes?

I don't suppose I could have AnyDVD running in the background and then just use BDRB to select the few episodes that I want straight from the disc to back up...?

Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions...

[jdobbs]

If I understand you correctly... yes, but it takes a couple steps. You can point BD-RB to the discs (one at a time, with AnyDVD running) and select the episodes during import. Then you put the imported structures together in a folder, and re-import (combining them into an entire season).

[Lathe]

Ah, good, that will save some time! :)

So, if I understand correctly... I import, say, one episode from season 1. Will that supposedly just be one m2ts file on the disc, do you think? And then BDRB will create a BDMV folder for THAT episode, right? And then I do this with whatever episodes I want and then combine (import) the BDMV folders for each episode into what BDRB will then create as a playable disc with however many episodes, right?

And, I can do ALL this simply while AnyDVD is running in the background...? That would be awesome, thanks!

[MrVideo]

I import, say, one episode from season 1. Will that supposedly just be one m2ts file on the disc, do you think?

Normally, for TV season release, it is one M2TS file per episode. I've yet to see a release that has seamless branching for episodes.

A Blu-ray disc can only have a single BDMV directory. All of the wanted M2TS files will have to be combined into a single directory. Sounds like BDRB will handle that just fine.

Keep in mind, after recompressing to a decent value, you'll only get about 4-5 episodes per disc. You can double that if you really recompress.

Thanks kindly for the further details. Good to know that the episodes are single m2ts files, that helps!

Being such a TREK fan, I probably won't be compressing at all, and I will be keeping full HD audio. I'll likely just do 2 full episodes per single layer disc, maybe 3 if the single episodes come to about 7-8 Gigs each.

I'm just relieved that I don't HAVE to rip the whole dang 45 Gig disc just to get a few episodes. That first season is a real stinker, and the 2nd one isn't a whole hell of a lot better (NOT a real Pulaski fan... :) )

[MrVideo]

I'm just relieved that I don't HAVE to rip the whole dang 45 Gig disc just to get a few episodes.

But you pretty much do. A majority of a disc is the episodes. If you want all of the episodes on a particular disc, you will be ripping pretty much all of it. If you only want a single episode, then ya, a lot less work.

Not sure why it is called ripping when all you are really doing is copying files from the disc to the HDD. Unlike CDs, where you have to convert from the CD data content to a WAV file (or other audio format). With Blu-ray discs, what you see is what you get.

Good thing they tend to have the episodes on a disc in sequence, from lowest M2TS number to the highest M2TS number. To be safe, you will need to look at the M2TS file and look for the episode name. At least TNG has episode titles in the episodes.

[jdobbs]

At least TNG has episode titles in the episodes.There are many discs where the M2TS sequencing doesn't match the order. BD Rebuilder does analysis to determine and present episodes in the proper order wherever it can -- such as using "Play All" playlist ordering, or the order they are found in navigation command lists. It does similar analysis on DVD imports. No algorithm is perfect -- but it does pretty well.

Will that supposedly just be one m2ts file on the disc, do you think?Episodes don't have to be in a single M2TS for BD-RB, it constructs them into one when it imports.

Not sure why it is called ripping when all you are really doing is copying files from the disc to the HDD.That certainly isn't true with a BD-RB import (as opposed to a traditional "rip"). You have to create a new menu, new playlists, and even reconstruct the M2TS when they are segmented. It's even more true when importing from DVD to BD format. BD-RB also can combine multiple discs into a single structure.
I'll likely just do 2 full episodes per single layer disc, maybe 3 if the single episodes come to about 7-8 Gigs each.Of course it's up to you, but I'd recommend reencoding them to fit more on a disc. You'll find that in most cases the original discs are poorly coded and use way too much bitrate. Often it's just to require a double layer disc (to make it harder to copy). People are also easily impressed with "sets" of BDs that look like they're getting a lot for their $100+. BDs are cheap to manufacture after they've been authored. Run an episode through X264 using a low CRF (like 18) and you'll find that they shrink considerably without noticeable loss.

I agree. I do a lot of x264 encoding using 4Mbps and the results are very impressive. That lets you put a lot onto a Blu-ray. :D

Hmmm, that's right; I seem to remember you saying this before about television episodes particularly. I had forgotten. Appreciate the reminder. It WOULD be interesting to see how an 18 CRF encode would turn out. I didn't realize that they 'Pad' the bit rate so much!

[jdobbs]

I wouldn't be surprised if it is less than 1/4 the original size. I personally did some of the STNG discs -- and put an entire season on one DL Blu-Ray with excellent results. When I reencoded for my Serviio streaming server at a CRF of 23 -- an entire season took about 25GB.

[KaraokeAmerica]

So.....because I don't really understand.....the higher the CRF, the higher the quality and the less compression is used? Am I using the right terms here?

[HWK]

So.....because I don't really understand.....the higher the CRF, the higher the quality and the less compression is used? Am I using the right terms here?

Nope, it is other way around. CRF values range from 0-51. closer to 0 higher quality and less compression applied.

From what I've read, for HD sources about 18 is considered pretty high quality without getting too extreme or having huge file sizes. As JD mentioned above, he used 23 and was happy with it. I would say that within that range is probably what most people use for fairly high quality. I think I read somewhere that 16 is supposed to be perceptually identical. But, I'm quite SURE that a lot of this also depends on the source and other factors too...

I usually put 6 episodes on a BD25, with nice quick menus.
Or even a full season (10...12 episodes) on a BD25 at 1440x1080 or 1280x720 resolution. No family member (blind tetst) has ever complained about inferior quality in any respect :cool:

Since lately I have also been trying x265@CRF 23...25 for streaming from the NAS to the SmartTV. Results are surprisingly good, with another 30 .... 40% reduction in file size.

But, I'm quite SURE that a lot of this also depends on the source and other factors too...18 is really close to a perfect reproduction. The default CRF for X264 is 23 -- which is generally considered the best balance of compression and quality. So if you are using 18, you are leaning heavily toward quality.

[Knightmire]

I've been waiting a while on this "bug" report and since there is still no mention of it here I decided it's my turn to bring one up. I'm honestly not sure if it's an actual bug or just incompatible files but hopefully there's a simple answer I just haven't figured out. So here goes...

While trying to make a disc of some 1080p shows with BD50.11, I found I kept getting this "demuxing error". Log of the error here:

[00:22:32] Importing MKV: 01._BKNY
- Collecting audio/video streams from source...
- Converting codec to compatible format...
[00:37:16] ERROR: Incompatible stream (1920x1088) detected. Aborted.

As you see, it took 15 mins to process this file only to spit it out at the end where it would normally proceed to the next file or build the temp structure. I thought perhaps one of the other helper tools needed updating so I've since tried new copies of LAV and even tinkered with FFDSHOW but always getting this same error. When BD50.12 came out I tried these files yet again and same error. Not sure what to do with these things as other encoding programs just throw out different errors, even though the files play perfectly fine.

These videos are HEVC MKV and they are indeed at a resolution of 1920x1088 with an AC3 audio track. Is know that's sort of an odd resolution but is it causing the problem? I seem to see a lot of small variations like this on shows and movie MKVs lately but this is the first time BD has rejected them in this manner. I am using the latest bdrebuilder and the helper programs that are currently linked on the first post here. I can follow up with more info if you'll tell me what you need to know.

Any help appreciated, even if it's just some alternate program to convert these files to something BD can handle. Thanks!

[gonca]

Can you post a mediainfo report of the MKV so we can see the stream types

[jdobbs]

The 1088 height is definitely the reason it failed. BD-RB will accept 1920 with values less than 1080p and assumes black borders have been removed, but not 1920 with a height of greater than 1080.

The time is likely in the extraction (using MKVEXTRACT), although that seems like a lot.

[Knightmire]

Alright, managed to track down an h265->264 re-encoder that worked and fixed the resolution on these files. I had to do the first 8 of them on this show but the other 5 were a lower resolution (1904x1017) and they had no problems. Well beside the odd 15 minute "Converting codec to compatible format..." step per file. Everything working as it should now. Thanks for the help and this is still some great software, thanks jdobbs!

PS..
If anyone reads this and has a similar issue; I ended up using a program called SuperC to re-encode these MKVs to 1920x1080. It's a pretty decent free program and only took about 10 mins per file. Once you get passed the horrendous mine field of an installer anyways! I think it tried to install like 10 different pieces of additional unwanted software, so I had to really read each screen to make sure I didn't allow anything. Made it through unmolested. :)

If not, can you please share a link?

Also, SuperC doesn't seem to be an option, but Ninite is a pretty good service to get many "freeware" packages without the junkware usually bundled. Perhaps they will add this to their stable at some point:

I'm sorry if i'm putting this in the bug report thread.:confused:
Here is my dilemma, i have the Everest 3D movie without the Spanish audio in it and my brother have the non-3D version with the Spanish audio in it, how do get RB-Builder to take the Spanish language from my brother's non-3D disc and put that audio file into my 3D version disc using BD Rebuilder to mix both disc and making a solo 3D movie and burn to R25 disc?
i tried the jdobbs suggestion:

1. Set BD-RB to BD-50 output. That will prevent reencoding.
2. Start the job.
3. When the audio/video extraction is complete, stop the job.
4. In the working folder, replace one of the audio streams with the stream you want to use. Note: The type of audio (ac3, dts, etc) must match the original, and the sample rate must be the same.
5. Continue the job. When it rebuilds it will use your audio.

but it did not work for me! any other way i could accomplish this intervention? thank guys

It COULD be that both audio streams (the Spanish one and the original one on the 3D disc) are not in the same format.

There is one thing you COULD do, which would involve a few more steps, but SHOULD be foolproof (and JD, please do correct me if my suggestion is wrong in any way) go ahead and have BDRB extract the A/V files from the 3D disc. Stop BDRB. Hopefully, you already have the Spanish audio file from the other disc, and it is a DTS or AC3 file. Open the WORKFILES folder. Start TSMuxer. Drag and drop the 3D video file from the WORKFILES folder (should be called "xxxxx".264) into TSMuxer. Then Drag and drop the Spanish audio file from the other disc into TSMuxer. Be sure to add any subtitle files, or additional audio files to TSMuxer that you also want (since I never use 3D, I do not KNOW what the resulting extracted 3D video file looks like; I am just assuming that it looks like a normal .264 file - if not, please correct that for me JD)

Run TSMuxer and choose 'Blu-ray' folder as the output. The resulting BDMV folder SHOULD then have the 3D video file and the Spanish audio file and whatever other files that you have included. At this point, you probably should view the m2ts file within the BDMV folder to make SURE that the A/V is in synch and looks / sounds okay. Now, if you need to compress the movie further, just use your NEW BDMV folder as the NEW source for BDRB and process as usual.

Heh... probably a LOT more steps than you need, but I don't see how you can screw it up :)

I hope that this helps, cheers!

Thanks jdobbs and Lathe will try it again and i'll try your steps Lathe" just where do i pick up TSMuxer to accomplish these steps?

It's a free program. You can just do a simple search for it. It is easy to find their site!

It's also in the BD Rebuilder TOOLS folder.

I ran Jurassic World with BD-RB v50.12
mp4 container, 1920x1080, auto-aac, auto-gop, CRF 23
The resulting file was 7.5 Gig.

I ran Throne of Blood, a Criterion B&W movie, same settings, and the file was 10.9 Gig.

These file sizes seem larger than what I typically used to get.

These file sizes seem larger than what I typically used to get.I think at least part of it is that movie's characteristics. I did "Jurassic World" using a CRF of 23 keeping only the English audio as AAC in an MKV container, and it came out to 5.65 GB. That's quite a bit larger than I usually get. Most movies come in at about 2.5 to 3.5 GB.

[meadrocks]

I run BD-RB stock, no tweaks, I wonder why mine is 2Gig larger than yours?

[jdobbs]

A couple of things could cause that. Are you keeping more than one audio track? What quality setting are you using? For example, the "High Quality" setting at a CRF of 23 (which I use) will use less space than a "Better" quality setting -- and "Better" will use less space than a "Good" quality setting.

[AmigaFuture]

Hmmm, that's right; I seem to remember you saying this before about television episodes particularly. I had forgotten. Appreciate the reminder. It WOULD be interesting to see how an 18 CRF encode would turn out. I didn't realize that they 'Pad' the bit rate so much!

Oh, Yeah....!! Think about it this way...stretching video to be longer, more data used on a DVD or BD, doesn't mean it's better quality because the time is still the same. A better lens to capture more depth makes for more quality as does a script or live event details. Enjoying an episode again and again and getting something from it is much better than the over used bit rate. :) From my experiences and others, but I agree with JD, do as you desire.

[meadrocks]

For example, the "High Quality" setting at a CRF of 23 (which I use) will use less space than a "Better" quality setting -- and "Better" will use less space than a "Good" quality setting.

I had Automatic Quality Settings selected the 1st time. Today I explicitly selected High Quality(default). The resulting file came out to 5.9Gig, 2 Gig smaller. Would a lower setting (Better, fast) have been used since Automatic Quality Settings was selected the 1st time, resulting in the larger file size?

[jdobbs]

Hmm... I'll have to check the code. But I believe it uses whatever setting you have selected. Automatic quality is based on the selected target size, which really shouldn't apply to CRF based ALTERNATE output. I may need to fix that if it is the case.

I just did a clean re-install of Win10. I installed AVISynth followed by the FFDSHOW and MASTROKA splitters followed by LAV filters. I am trying to do a quick-play back up of a TV show on BD. It imports the files fine, but when I try to edit them and right click to preview the item, MPC opens and about 30 seconds later I get an error "cannot render file." FFDSHOW will sometimes give an error message stating it cannot find ff-mpeg.dll. That file is in the FFDSHOW folder. If I close the edit box and re open it, now when I right click to preview, nothing will happen. Closing and opening BD Rebuilder makes no difference. I have uninstalled and reinstalled all the files (I believe in the correct order) and have set up FFDSHOW as indicated on the first page of this thread.

Any ideas what I'm stupidly doing wrong? It was working fine before I had to do this re install of Win10.

Thanks.

SMK

[gonca]

If you are using LAVfilters you don't need FFDSHOW or MASTROKA
Did you run BR_RB as admin the first time

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

I did run BDR as an administrator, but the first time I did it, it told me it was "adjusting" the settings, and the second time after removing and reinstalling everything it did not. I don't know if this means anything.

I think I will try it again with either LAV or FFDSHOW and Mastroka to see what happens.

[supergirl73]

hi, I wanted to know if the latest version is compatible with windows 10 pro 64bit.Thanks

[Ch3vr0n]

sure it is.

[sieve]

I wiped HDD with Win * and installed Win 10. I reinstalled BD rebuilder and all the regular accompanying programs. I set all the settings like I had them before. I think.... The strange problem I have now is that the program hangs when starting the second pass encode. It sits there with zero of zero frames processed. At the same time, H.264 continues to put an incredible load on the CPU (it maxes it out to 100% load), yet no encoding is apparently done. If left alone for quite a while, I will get Failed video encode, aborted. Could someone please help me diagnose this problem? Is there a log or file I can attach?
Thanks!

[jdobbs]

Post the contents of BD-REBUILDER.LOG (it's a text file and is in the working folder). Also post the contents of BDREBUILDER.INI (also a text file, found in the folder where BD Rebuilder is installed).

Did you follow the procedures in the first post of this thread during install?

It's really odd that the first pass would run correctly, and the second fail. They pretty much follow the same procedures.

I assume so. I've installed and updated the program many times.

That's what I thought. I've never had it happen before.

[jdobbs]

The log is empty except for running a couple of INSPECTs. I need to see the log that exists immediately after the job has failed.I assume so.

I looked at the INI file, and it doesn't look like there are any unusual settings.

Is your system overclocked, by any chance?

"Due to recent regulatory requirements we have had to cease all activities relating to SlySoft Inc.
We wish to thank our loyal customers/clients for their patronage over the years. "

Hmmm, that's a bite. :(

[jdobbs]

Interesting. When did that happen?

Sad, though, that the disc manufacturers dug their own grave -- regulating and protecting themselves out of business -- to be replaced by streaming video. This is just one more example of their attempts to take "ownership" away from those who buy their products. I give them 5-10 years before they become the "buggy whip makers" of video.

[Chuckwagon]

I'm not sure when the site first went down, a couple days I think. There are discussions about it on the myce and slysoft forums. (The slysoft site is down, but the forum seems to still be up.) There was one post by Slyfox1 that said "No, worries, all will be sorted." I wonder if they are working on some alternate means of distro.

I agree, the stupid choice of using technology to attempt to stop the inevitable rather than to find ways to encourage consumption was a bad idea. The easiest way to solve their "problem" would have been to make the products more appealing, and price them at a level where they'd sell. Instead they wasted millions on useless schemes. All the while, more visionary individuals began shaping the future with other offerings. Look at all the original content now available for streaming. I personally like having discs, but I won't be surprised if they dwindle and die off over time.

[Lathe]

... what else is new...? :)

BTW, a big 'WOW' about Slysoft!

Anyway, what is confusing me (currently) is that as I had mentioned before, I very easily backed up the episodes that I wanted from STAR TREK: TNG. I just had AnyDVD running in the background, opened the Blu-ray in a 'new window' and simply chose the clearly distinct (and numbered) episodes and copied those to my HDD.

Okay, great!

Now... I am trying to back up my STAR TREK: TOS Blu-rays. With THESE though, I DO wish to keep the entire discs intact. So, this time instead of just running AnyDVD in the background and selecting certain episodes, I thought, well I will just simply copy the entire disc to my HDD and then use BDRB to back up the entire disc (I'm gonna try simply reducing the DL Blu-ray of about 40 Gigs to a single layer Blu-ray of 23.xx Gigs. I know, I know... I probably can compress them a LOT more like you all said, but even this is really pushing it for an A/Vphile me :) ) I have BDRB set like I do when I have to do (what I think) is heavy compression for a Blu-ray - 'High', 2 pass)

Sounds simple, right...? Well... I'm looking at this resulting folder that AnyDVD created, and instead of 4 or 5 nice, simple 8.xx Gig episodes, there are like 182 m2ts files! WTH...??! And I'm watching as BDRB is encoding the disc, and it is doing each little piece at a time. Well, okay... BUT... I'm looking at the stats as it is encoding, and all these little pieces (5000 frames, 4000 frames, etc) are being encoded at bit rates of like 1,400 and 1,500. What...?! I scanned back through the log (it is now at about 76 files done out of 88) and I cannot see ONE file that was done at what you would expect the bit rate to be for a normal episode.

I don't THINK that there are THAT many Xtras on the disc (76 Xtras...???) How can they all possibly be encoded at this rate? Are NONE of these pieces parts of the main episodes? Now, I DO have it set for 'faster encoding of the xtras', but now I am really starting to worry about what the heck is going on? I don't know if I have expressed this very clearly, but does this make any sense to anyone?

I think what is REALLY throwing me is the STARK difference between what the discs looked like between the two different series.

[Lathe]

Hopefully, not to be annoying to anyone, but I took a little snapshot of the log as BDRB is processing the disc. Here is what it looks like:

And so on...

I GUESS it magically puts all this together somehow, but what seems odd is the consistent bitrate of each piece being only about 1,500-1,700...???

[jdobbs]

Why not import the discs? That way BD-RB will combine the individual segments. The reason there are so many small parts is so the new CGI segments can be alternately used.

The bitrate used is what is required to fit on the target.

[Mark_Venture]

Interesting. When did that happen?

Sad, though, that the disc manufacturers dug their own grave -- regulating and protecting themselves out of business -- to be replaced by streaming video. This is just one more example of their attempts to take "ownership" away from those who buy their products. I give them 5-10 years before they become the "buggy whip makers" of video.AnyDVD HD worked for me yesterday, didn't work today...

So I'm not sure the timing. but yeah, this stinks.

[Ch3vr0n]

It happened sometime early yesterday, presumedly due to aacs-la pressure. Which pretty much leaves the monkey as the only good decrypter. And that's the ONLY thing i'll use it for. My processing will still be BDRB / CloneBD

[jdobbs]

AnyDVD HD worked for me yesterday, didn't work today...

So I'm not sure the timing. but yeah, this stinks.I just inserted a disc as a test, and it seems to be working for me. It's not a recent disc (a couple of months old) -- but it seems to be reading it fine.

[Starfiresg1]

It'll continue to work for discs for which the needed decryption key is included in the local database file - looking up a key to an unknown disc online won't work however. So probably mostly new released discs will be affected.

[Mark_Venture]

does it keep track of the decryption as you use it?

i.e. I tried with a new disc yesterday (good dinosaur which worked) and another new one (fantastic 4 which didn't) today. I haven't tried with one I've ripped before.

I installed and I'm trying DVDFab Passkey (got free license when they were giving them away months ago)... I'll see how that goes. If I get a chance I'll re-enable AnyDVDHD and try a disc I ripped before.

[jdobbs]

There's always MAKEMKV and PassKey, I guess. I really feel bad for someone who bought a lifetime license for AnyDVD last week.

All software dies... it's just a matter of when (slightly edited line stolen from Paul Newman in "Hombre" -- just before he killed Richard Boone and got shot himself).

The bad thing is that the companies who make these discs (for which you paid good money) can limit you from playing it however you want (like adding it to your own streaming server for easy access). How is that right? Oh well... if you believe life is fair you're living in a fantasy anyway.

There's always the option of just not buying discs anymore -- and going 100% streaming. It would serve them right to be forced out of business for lack of sales.

Oh yeah... I had forgotten that they had set it up to display either the original effects or the new Remastered ones. That probably is why, how odd looking though.

'Import the disc'...??? What do you mean? Don't you just simply take the full decrypted BDMV folder on your HDD and load it into BDRB as the 'Source'?

I thought the only thing you import are single media files or groups of BDMVs or DVDs to create a menu'd disc...

I almost NEVER do whole disc backups, so I'm not familiar with what you mean.

What do you mean 'Import the disc'...?

*** EDIT

Well, since I couldn't make heads or tails of the 182 M2ts files in the new BDMV folder that BDRB made, I just went ahead and burned it to disc so that I could check it out. The good news is that it looked AWESOME and the menu and stuff all seemed to work just fine.

Like I said, I almost NEVER do full disc backups, so I am not used to seeing all this 'Stuff' in the resulting BDMV folder. Normally what I almost always do with films, is if the full Blu-ray is on a single layer disc, then sure, I 'll just simply back that up. If the film file itself can fit onto a single layer Blu-ray, then I'll do that. Or, if the movie file is pretty large, I will do a 'Movie Only' deal with BDRB and set the levels accordingly. Or, if I AM doing series episodes, I will normally do what I did with TNG. I will simply choose full episodes and use BDRB to make a menu to put them all on one disc.

But, doing this full disc backup with TOS, I don't know WHAT the hell I'm seeing in both the processing and the resultant folder, but when burned it appears to look just fine. Just kind of blowing my mind at all the parts inside the BDMV I guess...

[Lathe]

There's also MAKEMKV, which is still free while it's in beta. In addition to creating MKV files, it can also copy/decrypt a BD or DVD disc to a hard drive.

Yep, AFAIK that is probably the easiest and best available...

I almost NEVER do whole disc backups, so I'm not familiar with what you mean.

What do you mean 'Import the disc'...?You select IMPORT and then BD IMPORT from the file menu. Then BD-RB will re-author the disc into a new structure. In the process, all the individual episodes will be converted from multi-part sources into one M2TS per playlist. You can also put several BDs together into a single folder -- and the import will combine them. It will even find the original background video/audio and use it for the new menu on most discs. This feature also really comes in handy when you want to convert a bunch of episodes into MKVs or MP4s that are spread across multiple discs. You can import them, then in a few clicks all the episodes are added to the batch queue and reencoded.

BD Rebuilder has a lot of features that you can't find anywhere else. I guess what it needs more than anything else is a user manual. I've always hoped someone else would write one -- because I'm too lazy. Programmers tend to hate documentation... and I'm no exception. There's an old saying: "The job's not over until the paperwork is complete."

OHHHHHH, I think I see now! So, in other words, what I've already been doing with separate episodes, each with it's own m2ts file where I go ahead and use TSMuxer and create the separate BDMV folders that I then import these 'Blu-rays' into BDRB, where BDRB then combines them with the 'Import' function, is ALSO what you are saying that it will do INTUITIVELY with all these myriads of pieces that reside on the original disc! I had no idea it would do that. Ah... so it uses the PLAYLISTS to organize the resulting disc into some semblance or order then.

So, instead of importing the episode BDMVs into BDRB as 'Multiple BDs', in this case then are you saying just import the SINGLE, ripped BDMV folder that AnyDVD creates on my HDD, and then BDRB will do the rest...?

Most interesting! (and helpful! if I actually have this right now... :) )

[jdobbs]

Yep. That's it. Except, of course, that AnyDVD doesn't create it on your hard drive... BD Rebuilder does.

[Lathe]

Yep. That's it. Except, of course, that AnyDVD doesn't create it on your hard drive... BD Rebuilder does.

Oh... (again...) So, I DON'T actually rip the Blu-ray with AnyDVD. I have it running in the background and use BDRB to import the actual Blu-ray from the BDMV folder on the disc itself while in the drive while AnyDVD is running, right?

So, if I DO understand this right, is it always better to 'rip' a disc to your HDD using BDRB this way rather than have AnyDVD do it?

[Ch3vr0n]

Anydvd can do its magic in the background yes. I'd recommend ripping first though. I don't like a constantly spinning disc. The PC can process the data faster than an optical drive can deliver the data to BDRB/helper tools, a harddrive doesn't have that problem.

[jdobbs]

So, if I DO understand this right, is it always better to 'rip' a disc to your HDD using BDRB this way rather than have AnyDVD do it?Not really. If you do this it is reauthoring the original disc -- that isn't something you necessarily want to always do. When you import there is a setting that limits the size of what's imported (default of 15 minutes), so importing doesn't always keep everything.

Just try it on a couple of discs and you'll see what I mean.

[Lathe]

Okay then. So, for this instance with the STAR TREK: TOS discs being so fragmented, you were suggesting to have BDRB reauthor the disc, I see. But yeah, I can see now that you have explained it, that you wouldn't necessarily want to do that as a rule. And yes Ch3vr0n I was thinking too that generally you would indeed want to work from the HDD instead of directly from the disc if at all possible.

Thanks all! I THINK I've got it now :D

[HWK]

[jdobbs]

You have to do one of two things. Give up on AnyDVD and find something else -- or hang on to it and hope they come back online. Based on what has been posted on their website and the forum, I suspect that the second choice isn't likely to happen. I have no idea if the first choice will succeed either -- as it's probably just a matter of time before any other alternative either get the same ax or becomes irrelevant by new technologies. IMHO, as long as consumers keep spending they're money on products that never actually become their property -- it will continue.

[Ch3vr0n]

I'm already in contact with DVDFab themselves about that :) I'm not too worried atm, i've got no use for 4K. As long as AnyDVD works, i'll use that as my primary ripper/decrypter. When it stops, i'll have DVDFab :)

[DoctorM]

4k may be close to a useless upgrade, but I'm told the HDR on the new discs is quite impressive.

jdobbs is quite right about buying discs that aren't ours, but the problem is if we stop buying they'll assume people don't want physical media. Then it's all crappy streams. No good answer there.

[Video Dude]

I just realized MakeMKV has a full disc mode. I never used the program before because I assumed it only made MKVs.

How well does MakeMKV decrypted discs work with BD-RB? I never had problems with AnyDVD, but it seems MakeMKV full disc mode could be a good free replacement to use with BD-RB?

[kufo]

The current circumstances will take affect anyway only in the near future,if there come new levels of protection mechanisms.
With the rippers still available BD Rebuilder has full functionality anyway. That should be the main thing currently.
There will pass at least 1 or 2 years, until the 4K film a serious medium at the film market.
When you consider that here in Germany the DVD rental in the same strong as the Blu-Ray, then it speaks for itselve.
Let's see what the future brings. :)

One other thing to be angry about today. On Sony BD/DVD smart players, there's a "Network Connection" procedure in which the player attempts to connect to some mystical Sony server before you can use it. Every few months the Sony server goes down, and you can't use Netflix or Amazon until they fix it. It's down right now.

One more example of buying something that you never really own. The three Sony BD players I currently use will be the last. Goodbye Sony, and hello Samsung or someone else.

[MrVideo]

I read on DVdfab website and seems they last release can remove Cinavia, what about it?

You need to go on their forum and read ALL of the info regarding Cinavia removal.

In a nutshell, to do so requires a separate license. There is a limited number of discs that they currently can remove Cinavia. It only works via the original media (1:1 ISO backups might work). It only works when creating movie only backups. It does not do full disc backups.

In other words, at this point in time it is extremely limited.

[DoctorM]

I've found the best answer for Cinavia is just to grab the DVD and sync the audio. Sure the bitrate is lower, but the 'fixes' lower the quality anyway.

My Sony player is a few years old (2012) and it has never needed an internet connection to work.The player works -- but Netflix and Amazon (or any other network streaming service) won't. It has happened 3 times to me. Each time it only lasts an hour or two, and the Sony server eventually comes back up. Meanwhile my network is working fine, even the BD player says the local connection is good. It's their server that goes down. I have three Sony players -- and when it happens all three concurrently fail.

The thing that irks me is that they have created a device that relies their server to continue working. If you google it, you'll see it is a common occurrence. It's apparently also common on the Playstation Network.

I've had enough. I will never buy a Sony player again.

[kufo]

Would it be possible that the manual is written by several useres? In fact each one uses a different method to create his perfect dic or file. Perhaps this could show diffrent settings and new useres could find a matching one that works for them. jdobbs will have to take a look at the descriptions before they are shown as good. Tis is much easier than writing the whole stuff by one guy.

What do you think?

Can you do this with a BD and, if so, what do you use to do it?

[DoctorM]

Can you do this with a BD and, if so, what do you use to do it?

I think I should defer to jdobbs on this. I load the audio and video into a video editing program to confirm sync first and determine if a delay is needed, then create a temporary BD mux manually.

I'm sure there's an easier way. Maybe pausing a BDRB encoding and swapping the audio file?

[Ch3vr0n]

Jdobbs, forgive me for going OT on this, but many of us here use Anydvd to decrypt in order to be able to use BDRB to backup our purchased discs.

To all those users i'd say. check out the sticky in the General Chat section on the slysoft forums. Things aint over till the fat lady sings! Show your love/support!

[MrVideo]

I load the audio and video into a video editing program to confirm sync first and determine if a delay is needed, then create a temporary BD mux manually.

My last step is to use tsMuxer to mux the BD video and DVD audio into a BD format ISO.

Unfortunately, Universal is now putting Cinavia onto their DVD releases as well, stopping us from using the DVD audio with the BD video.

FWIW, my 5 year old BD-83 is pre-cinavia.

[Lathe]

Just a quick comment (yeah, like I've EVER made a 'brief' comment in my life... :o ) about extracting the Blu-ray the way you suggested JD. First, I kind of goofed and merely set it to BD50 and 'Force No Encode', but I ended up with basically the same disc arrangement with the STAR TREK: TNG disc as when I ripped it with AnyDVD.

So, then I remembered you saying to import it. So, with AnyDVD running in the background I did import the Blu-ray itself. And, lo and behold when BDRB prompted me with the playlist, I saw a nice, neat, SHORT list of 15 files instead of like 172. Very nice! It clearly showed the 4 or 5 episodes at 8 Gigs or so, and the few Xtras. Wow, was that ever nicer than seeing the messy folder that ripping the Blu-ray directly with AnyDVD produced. Also, it may have been my imagination, but I do think that using BDRB to import the full Blu-ray was actually faster than when I did it with AnyDVD.

Thanks VERY much for the suggestion to do that! I will probably do that now with all my discs when just ripping.

[Lathe]

Since I am not very conversant with using the import function for television episodes, I just NOW noticed with disc 5 of one of the TNG seasons that as it shows me the import titles I can indeed rename them.

However, I hadn't done this on discs 2-4 (disc one I still was using the original full disc structure from the original disc) So, I was wondering, even after running the resultant imports through BDRB and reducing the size from the original 45 Gigs or so to a single layer BD25 size, is there any way I can go back to these 'finished' discs and somehow edit the episode titles?

Should I just re-import discs 2-4 and then rename the episodes? Probably so, I'm guessing.

Thanks!

[gonca]

[jdobbs]

You can import and reimport as many times as you want, since there is no reencoding involved in the process there also is no quality loss.

In fact you can import several discs individually, and then put them all in a folder together (as subfolders) and import that folder to combine previously imported discs.

I personally use import a lot. I have a lot of series discs on DVD that I've bought over the years. I like to import them and put them on a single 50GB BD reencoded to AVC. The ones that have half-hour shows can even fit an entire season on a single-layer BD.

Just as an aside, I went to the theater today and saw "The Lady in the Van". Great writing, and a fantastic performance by Dame Maggie Smith. Excellent. I really do love the movies...

[Sharc]

Not a bug in BD-RB, just for information:

One other thing to be angry about today. On Sony BD/DVD smart players, there's a "Network Connection" procedure in which the player attempts to connect to some mystical Sony server before you can use it.

The issue here is that streaming apps on these devices (from all manufacturers from what I can tell) go through the device manufacturer to get at whatever service it provided. My Panasonic player needed a firmware update to re-establish streaming & connect to the Viera Cast server/site. My Sony TV has access to whatever streaming services Sony contracted for with their TV.

DVDs & BDs are always advertised as "OWN this on Tuesday" - so I "own" it. That doesn't give me the right to go into business selling copyrighted material, but I believe I can pretty much do whatever I want with this disc. DMCA type laws forbid circumventing digital copy protection on commercially sold media, and that is what lawyers representing folks like AACS point to when trying to kill off decryption type programs. I cannot imagine what excuse anyone used to convince Paypal to shut off JDobbs ability to accept money, since there is nothing in BDRB that decrypts anything. If beging able to read and modify unprotected "copyrighted" material is the excuse, then they should be going after all companies who provide that ability with images, words, music, etc?

Not a bug in BD-RB, just for information:

OPPO :)

They are beholden to no one...

FWIW, my 5 year old BD-83 is pre-cinavia.

Unfortunately 8x & 9x Oppo's do not play nice with BDs that utilize complex seamless branching & Dolby TrueHD (or Atmos) - mostly Lionsgate titles, as I recall.
And Oppo is forced to comply with BD Assoc. requirements like everyone else if they expect to sell blu-ray players.
All my Panasonic & Sony players are pre-cinavia and continue to work just fine.

Since I am not very conversant with using the import function for television episodes, I just NOW noticed with disc 5 of one of the TNG seasons that as it shows me the import titles I can indeed rename them.

I have a dumb question. Why would you want to rename Star Trek (any series) episode titles?

[jdobbs]

I have a dumb question. Why would you want to rename Star Trek (any series) episode titles?If you are importing or re-authoring you are given default titles that are fairly meaningless (basic source disc/time text). So in the title editor you can replace those with actual text that matches that used officially for the episode -- for example you can get them from Wikipedia's episode indexes or the disc cover. The titles are used in the newly create menus, and are also used when you create an ALTERNATE output to MKV or MP4.

You can import and reimport as many times as you want, since there is no reencoding involved in the process there also is no quality loss.

In fact you can import several discs individually, and then put them all in a folder together (as subfolders) and import that folder to combine previously imported discs.

I personally use import a lot. I have a lot of series discs on DVD that I've bought over the years. I like to import them and put them on a single 50GB BD reencoded to AVC. The ones that have half-hour shows can even fit an entire season on a single-layer BD.

Just as an aside, I went to the theater today and saw "The Lady in the Van". Great writing, and a fantastic performance by Dame Maggie Smith. Excellent. I really do love the movies...

Yeah, I kinda thought so... Very nice to be able to do that. I also should take some of my rarer DVD sets and back them up like you do (BTW, I found out just the other day that my Blu-ray set of The Prisoner, which was one of my very first purchases in the Blu-ray format and I bought for about $20 is now going for $200! DAMN!) I backed up that puppy faster than you can say Amiga Future! :D

Yes, my older friend wants to go see 'THE VAN' Not normally my type of film, but I have a feeling that this one with her in it is likely very well done.

Thanks! (Thanks to you too Gonca!)

Hmmm, that is very interesting. I've never had any trouble at all with TrueHD whatsoever. I don't think I've watched too many titles though with seamless branching, so I don't remember if I had any trouble with that. As far as I can say, and I've played probably hundreds of Blu-ray titles on it (including many series) in the last 5 years, I haven't had any trouble with those things that I can remember. Besides, I would expect OPPO, who are VERY conscientious, to keep their players current with updates.

But, if that indeed IS the case, that is good to know... I frigg'n LOVE mine though! ;)

No, it's not dumb at all... (I'M the one around here asking 'Dumb' questions...) Basically what JD said (above) When you import the TNG discs (or any so far that I've noticed) BDRB shows the titles as: 00001, 00002, 00003, etc. So, when BDRB asks you about the titles that you are importing, I just go to the top of the page for each title highlighted and change it to the name of the episode. I am not currently burning these backups, but they are going to one of my (many) HDDs, so I don't know how they will actually play if I ever need to burn them, but from what I've seen of discs where I have imported a number of BD titles, each title simply shows on the basic menu that BDRB constructs for you. So, I'm ASSUMING that the episode titles that I have renamed will show on the menu.

From what I've read, there isn't much Oppo can do about the problem as it is a hardware issue (processor in those models cannot handle Dolby TrueHD/Atmos in conjunction with complex seamless branching). The 103/105 models utilize a more powerful processor and work fine, but of course those have cinavia infected hardware/firmware.

Hi,

I am having a terrible time trying to have BDRB process a concert I have while retaining both the DTS-MA and LPCM stereo audio tracks to a BD 25 disc size. It only retains the DTS-MA track and discards the LPCM track.

I have tried virtually every setting I can think of in the program but it always rejects the LPCM track, though one time it did compress both the DTS-MA and LPCM to DTS-Core and AC3 640. But I can't even remember that setting anymore! :(

Can someone show me the exact settings to use to accomplish this?

I have ripped the "Main Movie" to an MKV file using MakeMKV and it is about 36 GBs in size, and it retained both DTS-MA and LPCM audio tracks. This is the file I am working from and I am using BDRB 50.12.

This is the file I am working from and I am using BDRB 50.12. By default BD-RB reencodes LPCM to AC3. Look for KEEP_HD_LPCM in HIDDENOPTS.TXT. But LPCM is an incredible waste of space with no return benefit and I don't recommend it.

[Todd Sauve]

Thanks for your reply.

However, I can't even get BDRB to keep the DTS-MA and also the LPCM converted to AC3 as a BD25 disc! I don't know why ...

I have found the HIDDENOPTS.TXT and chenged it from n to y. Is that how it is done or is there more to it?

I wouldn't have these troubles if DVDFAB would actually shrink my concert to the BD25 option properly, but it keeps making a file that is just a few megs too big to fit on my Optical Quantum BD25 blanks and it makes me very angry! ARGHH!

[jdobbs]

Read the directions at the top of the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file. That file is just an informational text file telling you what hidden options are available. The changes have to be made to the [Options] section of BDREBUILDER.INI in the installation folder. You can get to it by selecting "View/Edit Config File" from the BD Rebuilder "File" menu.

BD Rebuilder will keep any audio you have selected. You can set rules for what is kept from the SETUP dialog. You can also override the settings by double-clicking on the audio stream in the streams list (an X means it isn't being kept). You can also force BD-RB to keep (rather than reencode) audio -- look at the FAQ sticky (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=157143) for more info.

manolitoI've been using it for quite a while now, and have had no issues. BD-RB's INSPECT doesn't give any errors when you have it installed (in fact the only requirement is that the version be 2.57 or higher).

I guess what you mean by "endorsing" is changing the first post of this thread to read v2.60 rather than v2.58 -- so I guess I can do that.

In case of using the new archiving mode, all the audio tracks will be converted to AAC-LC format with the same quality chosen through the hiddenopt "ARCHIVE_AUDIO" keeping all the channels (without downmixing)?

[sieve]

I wiped HDD with Win 8 and installed Win 10. I reinstalled BD rebuilder and all the regular accompanying programs. I set all the settings like I had them before. I think.... The strange problem I have now is that the program hangs when starting the second pass encode. It sits there with zero of zero frames processed. At the same time, H.264 continues to put an incredible load on the CPU (it maxes it out to 100% load), yet no encoding is apparently done. If left alone for quite a while, I will get Failed video encode, aborted.

Update: I replaced the internal HD, reinstalled everything, and no more problems. There must have been issues with the drive even though a SMART analysis reported good health.

In case of using the new archiving mode, all the audio tracks will be converted to AAC-LC format with the same quality chosen through the hiddenopt "ARCHIVE_AUDIO" keeping all the channels (without downmixing)? Right now it is reencoded using the core audio. So you will get no more than 6 channels. But you can choose to keep HD audio via the SETUP dialog and it will be honored. Unfortunately, though, that will use a LOT of space in the ARCHIVE since the audio will be kept intact.

I will look at ways to keep 7.1 audio reencoded to AAC and you may see it in a future release.

Great! For the current audio reencoding, if I have Nero AAC encoder in my system, will BD-RB use that instead of FAAC?

this is the case with the new archiving mode as well?
I mean, if BD-RB is told using Nero AAC encoder in the settings dialogue, will it use it if archive mode is enabled, or not?

[Ch3vr0n]

I'm no expert and don't have a use for archive mode but I would assume it uses the same code to recode the audio. Try it and find out :-)

Great! For the current audio reencoding, if I have Nero AAC encoder in my system, will BD-RB use that instead of FAAC?Did some experimenting... unfortunately, while I can reencode to AAC with 7 channels -- there's no way to reencode back to AC3 (when converting back) because there is no freeware solution for doing AC3 in more than 5 channels. So that's pretty much a no-go.

Yes. If you have Nero AAC configured for use with BD-RB it will use it instead of FAAC.

Does ARCHIVE_CRF overwrite both QUICK_CRF and SECONDARY_CRF as well as FIXED_CRF?

[jdobbs]

The others (QUICK_CRF, SECONDARY_CRF, and FIXED_CRF) don't apply to ARCHIVE mode. Only ARCHIVE_CRF is used.

I may make it possible to use the apple AAC encoder when Quicktime is installed. Some reviews I've read say it is better than Nero. Honestly I personally can't hear a difference in any of the three. Almost all the tests are done subjectively, and I think the winner is always the one the reviewer wants to believe is best.

[Pod7381]

I have been using BDRebuilder for years with no issues. I had to reformat my computer yesterday and reinstall all the programs. I must have done something wrong when configuring BDRebuilder or the programs that run with BDRebuilder because for the first time I had a problem with the output not being complete. Only 53 minutes of the 2 hr. movie were in the output file.
I set up BDRebuilder for an output file size of 23,500Mb but I got a file of only 12,353Mb. When I inspect my settings in BDRebuilder everything shows as OK.. I ripped it with AnyDVD to an ISO file, mounted the ISO to a virtual drive, and pointed BDRebuilder to the virtual drive.
The movie is Jurassic World 3D
Does anyone know from experience what setting(s) I need to fix to get a complete backup? Really appreciate any help with this. Thanks.

I completely agree. I am just making my first BD (The Grey) in "ARCHIVE MODE" using x265 and some filters through AVS filter editor (very noisy source) and very curious about the results. According to the current status of the x265 command window BD-RB will reach around 85% bitrate saving on the feature. :eek:

So, AnyDVD stopped working for me as it can't access the online database before ripping. I tried installing Makemkv and ripped the BD to the HD. BDR started its process, but hung at encoding pass 1. It just sat there and didn't process any frames. I uninstalled makemkv and installed passkey. Ripped the BD to the HD. BDR started, but hung again when starting encoding pass 1. I haven't changed any settings in BDR, which did work a few days ago in encoding BD files ripped from AnyDVD. Is there something I need to change in BDR to get it to work with these other rippers?

Log files attached.
Thanks in advance for assistance.

[Ch3vr0n]

Anydvd can access the OPD just fine. There was a host file fix when using build 7690 available for the past few weeks, and a couple days ago build 7691 was released to access the new RedFox OPD for people who have an existing license that's still valid. I don't know what planet you've been living on the past month but there was plenty of info posted on both myce and torrentfreak about it.

SBS watching as 2D might require special player settings. Stereoscopic player has this option. It's also possible with MPC-HC via pan-scan setting.

What is the size of the .264 in the workfolder?

So I tried backing up Jurassic World 3D again and this time I got the complete movie. Did not change any of my original settings so I am not sure why my 2nd attempt worked. Hopefully, the first failure was just a one-time glitch.
Thanks Sharc for trying to help.

So, AnyDVD stopped working for me as it can't access the online database before ripping. I tried installing Makemkv and ripped the BD to the HD. BDR started its process, but hung at encoding pass 1. It just sat there and didn't process any frames. I uninstalled makemkv and installed passkey. Ripped the BD to the HD. BDR started, but hung again when starting encoding pass 1. I haven't changed any settings in BDR, which did work a few days ago in encoding BD files ripped from AnyDVD. Is there something I need to change in BDR to get it to work with these other rippers?

Update:

I checked in task manager, which indicated that H.264 was running, even though BDR showed no progress in encoding. I drilled down, to the application's properties, and on a whim, ran the compatibility troubleshooter. It recommended a fix. I applied it. Now encoding works fine again.

I'm not sure how x264 suddenly became incompatible, but at least it's working now.

Hopefully, this solution may provide useful to someone who experiences this in the future.

It's getting a variable overflow in that function. If you can tell me the disc title and post your settings I can see if I can repeat it.

For 3D backups FRIM is used for Decoding & Frameserving. Nevertheless a .dgi indexfile is created. What is it used for? I leave DGdecNV always selected in the settings, but since FRIM is used anyway for 3D I thought that the .dgi needs not to be created. Do I miss something?

Do I miss something?That's probably just a side effect of having it selected. I'll check it out. In the meantime it shouldn't really slow anything down too much with the indexing, as it happens concurrently with the demuxing of the audio/subtitles.

[DoctorM]

I tried my first 3D rebuild over the weekend using Kiss Me Kate. It's 38gb with a few GB of SD bonus (some of which I stripped as well as the lossless audio) with a BD25 destination.

Even using Highest (Very Slow), the grain looks like terrible garbage. The original disc has a moderately high grain level that is smooth and even while the encoding shows clumps of grain/noise with waxy bare areas that are grain free.

I guess my question is, are there any rumors of X264 supporting 3D so we can dump FRIM? It's quite obviously inferior and very very slow.

[jdobbs]

It's definitely not as good as X264 -- mainly because that's the best encoder on earth. But in my experience I've found FRIM to make very good 3D copies to BD-25. I have to believe that must be an unusual source.

Are you using hardware acceleration with FRIM? On some processors it has issues.

IIRC, FRIM only accelerates on Intel chips. Using AMD FX-8320 paired with a GeforceGTX 660 vid card. It was so slow, I sure hope that wasn't accelerated.

I gotta figure the grain was just too heavy for it to handle it well.

Try a SBS encode with x264 for comparison. You may also want to insert an avisynth noise filter, e.g. hqdn3d(3) or similar.
The sometimes strong blurring of action scenes with the Intel MVC encoder - even on 25GB backups - has made me reverting to SBS/x264 in most cases.

I recently did an encode of a 2 hours movie with x264 SBS/CRF 19 and was surprised to get the 3D video compressed to 3.88 GB (!) without any pre-filtering. The viewing quality in 3D or 2D is very good. (It's a clean source with very little noise in this case).

[DoctorM]

It's not possible to do some sort of full HD, is there? Either alternate frames or 4k SBS or something?

[Sharc]

It's not possible to do some sort of full HD, is there? Either alternate frames or 4k SBS or something?

It is stored as 2 960x1080 pictures side-by-side which are played on TV as one 16:9 3D picture.
It is also possible to play it back as 2D when you encode with --frame-packing 3.

This SBS method and the avc/mvc method are standardized. Any non-standard formats may be doable but will likely cause playback issues.

FullHD SBS IS a standard recognized by BD players? Are we talking MKV or an actual authored BD?

[jdobbs]

A 3D monitor can usually play back a SBS source even if it is on a BD... but it isn't automatically recognized by the player or the monitor, and you have to tell the monitor that it is SBS after it has started. It's kind of a pain, so I personally don't do it.

[mparade]

FullHD SBS IS a standard recognized by BD players? Are we talking MKV or an actual authored BD?

What about these "solutions"?:

- you can now set up your own mkv profile in BD-RB to get a Full-SBS output (no resolution loss, the output is 3840x1080p) using BD3D as a source (both x264 and x265 can be used for reencoding);

- if one could make "ARCHIVE"s using BD3D as a source and getting Full-SBS output streams in the new BD structure. I do not know what the others think about it.

[Sharc]

FullHD SBS IS a standard recognized by BD players? Are we talking MKV or an actual authored BD?
I mean half-SBS (2x960x1080) which can be enabled via the Settings/Setup menu for BD movie-only backups. The encoder will be x264 in this case. I suggested to try it, because you were dissatisfied with the result for your (grainy) source with the FRIM/Intel method. Resolution is reduced with half-SBS, but nevertheless you may be more satisfied with the final quality.

You could also de-noise the source as appropriate by applying a filter which you can define in the BD-RB Setup menu. It would make life easier for any encoder (FRIM or x264 or even x265). For x264/half-SBS you could also try the --tune grain option.

Finally, you could also output to .mkv if you prefer, using Alternate Movie-only output. You would however have to add a new profile for "x264 half-SBS" in the alternate.txt file (or modify the similar profile [00036] for example).

I prefer half-SBS over fullSBS because it's more compliant with HW standalones / TVs, and it is definitely faster. I doubt whether one really notices the somewhat reduced resolution with the 3D-goggles.

Added:
Rumors about 3D (mvc) x264:
Quite some time ago there has been a version or fork of x264 for mvc encoding, IIRC. But it has not been developed further AFAIK, and I am not aware of any new efforts.....

You don't install bdrb, you copy the files and you're done. That said, for your problem that's exactly what that REG_MSCOM... batch file is for at the bottom of the file list. Run that one.

My problem is i am having issue with this mscomctl.ocx i googled it they saying download that actives file and put in system64 folder done all that, still not working for me, if some one here can help me it will be really helpful.

[jdobbs]

Look at this link (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1748117#post1748117). For some reason the command isn't being run from the same folder as the OCX. Normally that file is already installed as a part of Windows -- but occasionally you run across an installation where it is missing. That's why I included it with BD-RB.

Hi

thanks for all your help and support, i sorted this issue out, i am encoding a BD50 to BD25 now, i put it on high quality default setting, Is there a 2 pass encoding available ? as mine says only 1 pass encoding, If there is a 2 pass encoding will the quality get better, Can some one put the settings here to get the best quality on BD 50 to BD 25 encoding as this is what i will be using this software for .

[Sharc]

@subair37:
In the Encoder settings menu:
- Untick One Pass (CRF) Encoding
- Untick One Pass (ABR) Encoding

But why not select Automatic Quality Settings?
BD-RB will make the most appropriate choice automatically.

Just go on. Quality will be very good. Very Fast just means that BD-RB found out that it can encode with fast settings without compromising quality. It evaluates your source and the required compression and then makes this decision.
You can select other settings and waste time and electricity.

Just proceed with the Automatic Setting and tell us afterwards how the result looks.

[jdobbs]

If you want to be careful, just check the "High Quality" option. Honestly, you won't likely see a difference in the output when compared to "Automatic" -- but if the time spent in encoding doesn't mean anything to you, it can give you a sense of security.

[worknstiff]

Hi jdobbs, good morning. I was wondering if there has been any changes since the end of February that would break the creation of AVCHD DVD+R DL disks. February was the last time I created a DVD+R DL disk and it works correctly, I don't know which BD_Rebuilder release I used for it, sorry. The folder BD_Rebuilder created (DD5.1 640k audio) plays fine on my PC using TMT5, even though PowerDVD14 chokes on the ones TMT5 will play, lol. It is only after you burn the AVCD DVD+R DL disk that playback is broken. The disk will play in my Oppo93, but not using some other players or TMT5. It just throws up the please insert a valid disk and try again message. At first I thought maybe the "Strict AVCHD for BD-5/9" setting was not checked so I did a new encode with both settings on and off and both of the burned disks were unplayable. As a last resort I used the AVCHD-Patcher and that fixed the playback issues.
Thanks for all your continued hard work with this most excellent program, this is the first problem I've encountered in a long time, except for some self inflicted ones, lol. Let me know if you need logs or anything.

[jdobbs]

No nothing has changed since the last release in January. I haven't changed anything specific in AVCHD output in a long time.

[g00g]

While testing the videos "Expendables 3" and "12 Years A Slave" i run into a problem with the encoding length.

If I use alternate reencoding to mp4 the result of the encoding is as expected.
If I use reencoding to DVD-5 the encoding ends up in movies which encoding length is about 1 -1.5 hours longer than the movies itself are.
If you play the reencoded movies the first half part is the movie and the second half part is just a blank screen and silence.

These reencodings are independend of the encoders used (DGDecNV, LAF, ...).

I have to believe you have something incorrectly installed. Uninstall everything and then install again following the instructions in the first post of this thread exactly.

Something's wrong -- because no one else is having this issue. Reinstalling is the most likely cure. Sometimes other software interferes with or intercepts some of the normal processing paths -- and reinstalling fixes it.

From the changes.txt:
September 21th, 2013 - v0.44.17
- Added code in movie-only mode that extracts
forced subtitles into an independent stream
and sets them to "selected" for playback.
- Added a new hidden option "FORCED_SUB_LANG"
that allows a user to select which language
is preferred for forced subs. The default
is "eng" -- and it will be also be used when
no forced subtitle is found in the preferred
language.
- Added routine to hard-encode forced subtitles
into non-DVD ALTERNATE output. It can also
include any subtitle that is selected to be
forced from the STREAMS list. Note: This
capability requires the installation of the
free external AVISYNTH filter SUPTITLE() and
its selection in the SETUP dialog. While the
SUPTITLE filter is free, it cannot be freely
distributed, so you must download it and
properly install it from this link:

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.50.14). Changes for this release:- Fixed an error in which HEVC encoding can
fail on interlaced sources.
- Dramatically reduced encoding time for AAC
streams when keeping multiple languages by
running reencodes concurrently. Especially
useful in ARCHIVE HEVC/AAC mode.
- Corrected an issue in which secondary video
tracks could cause an error attempting to
mux for HEVC archive backups.
- Added two new hidden settings for overriding
the quality setting in certain modes. See
ALTERNATE_QUALITY and ARCHIVE_QUALITY in
HIDDENOPTS.TXT.
- Corrected an issue in which restoring a
disc from an HEVC ARCHIVE backup could miss
some HEVC M2TS files and fail to reencode
them to AVC.
- Updated the X264 command line to include
an SEI indicating 3D (frame-packing 3) when
creating SBS 3D output. This should assist
in automatic recognition of SBS 3D on some
players.
- Updated avs2yuv.exe to version 0.24m3.
- Updated the included versions of X265 to a
newest stable release (1.9.4).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Thanks, understood.
And the --frame-packing is effective and makes 3D-SBS stored on the NAS playing correctly as 2D on the Tablet. It's just a pity that not all players support it.

A minor issue:
It seems that the DOWNRESIZE=xxxx is still ignored when outputting to an alternate container.
Perhaps in the next release ...? :)

Thank you for responding. I know it had nothing to do with BD-Rebuilder. Hoping someone else encountered, knew what to do. My searching reveals it is the uninstall of Office 2013 leaving registry keys behind. I reinstalled office 2013, kept office 2016 installed, which made the problem go away.

That was it. Unistalling Office 2013 removes the MSCOMCTL.OCX file from the sysWOW64 folder. The file was still in the System32 folder. Once you copy the file into both folders, executing your MSCOMCTL.BAT works to register the files and all goes back to working.

Once again, thank for responding and pointing me in the right direction to resolve my issue.

@jdobbs
Source is 1080i25.
In the Setup menu "Use Deinterlacer on interlaced sources" is selected. DEINTERLACER_TYPE= is unspecified (default). Accordingly the source gets deinterlaced as "FieldDeinterlace(blend=true)"

Now my point:
Alternate output is .mkv 1280x720
=> Encoding is 720p25 using --fake interlaced .
Is the --fake-interlaced posssibly a leftover from a previous encode which didn't get reset? Does it matter at all?

Added:
Alternatively, because the source is progressive video encoded interlaced (MBAFF), I disabled "Use Deinterlacer". In this case the encode becomes 720i25 (MBAFF). Maybe that's the better alternative quality-wise (no need for bluray compliance)?

As a 3rd option I tried "Use Deinterlacer" with DEINTERLACER_TYPE=4. As expected the progressive video is not getting deinterlaced, and the .mkv is 720p25 --fake interlaced. (because of the DEINTERLACER_TYPE=4)

Not sure which one is the recommended option now. All seem to play ok, but for Alternate output I did not find a setting which does not deinterlace the progressive 1080i25 source and encode it as 720p25 (or 720p50) without --fake-interlaced being set. Maybe I am missing something?

[Sharc]

The source is a 1920x1080i25 blu-ray disc. You find these here sometimes.
I think it is a 24fps film speed up to 25fps and encoded interlaced (MBAFF) simply for for Blu-ray compliance which requests interlaced for 25fps.
It is not telecined and there is no temporal movement between field pairs.

[jdobbs]

The source should be deinterlaced and set as progressive, regardless of your settings -- because it's not a good idea to create 720 interlaced. I'll have to look at the code. But I can think of no reason why "--fake-interlaced" would be set on 720 output (unless you are forcing it with DEINTERLACER_TYPE=4 -- and I can think of no reason why you'd want to do that). Apparently it's because of the combination of the source being flagged as interlaced (in order to be legal at 25fps). What you'd really want is to convert it to 23.976/1280x720p. But I forego a lot of those kinds of checks on ALTERNATE, because you can pretty much output any way you want.

If you're getting 720p25 with --fake-interlaced set as the default, there might be a logic error in my code somewhere. Ill need to look at it and give it some thought.

[Sharc]

Such sources are handled correctly for Blu-ray outputs. They would get encoded as 1280x720p50 (either doubling frames or applying pulldown). The issue exists only for Alternate output. Maybe it is because the resizing is initiated by the alternate.txt profile and not via the settings menu.
Thanks for looking at it, but maybe it's not worth the pain to fix it.

[jdobbs]

Exactly right. There are checks that don't occur for ALTERNATE. But, it might be a good idea to make sure I don't output goofy formats, though. I'll have to think about it.

Quick question about x265, does it have an option to allow the GTX 970 hardware encoder to be used? (Or any other cards that have a HEVC encoder) The --opencl tweak for the x264 encoder nets me about a 20% increase in speed, so I was curious if the x265 stuff had yet come along enough to get the hardware encoders involved. Thanks. :)

[Chuckwagon]

Oh well, I was just curious. I don't make backups with x265 yet, it's pretty slow still, though I'd guess as newer hardware comes along it will become a more viable option. I will say that the NVENC encoder makes it go really fast. I encoded a 13GB video to HVEC with x265 and it took 2 hrs and 6 mins, but that same file with NVENC took 19 mins. So there certainly is future potential in hardware acceleration as more software adds support for it. I know the x265 dev effort is more centered on quality than on speed, and there are certainly differences in quality among the various encoders so I think they've got the right idea, but it's fun to see progress being made toward speedier encodes. :) Thanks for checking on that setting.

Tiny error. If you click browse and then click cancel button application complains about invalid BD format. Error message should pop-up only if user clicks OK.It only does that if the current value in the PATH area is invalid. Since you aborted the new selection, it re-scans the existing path to reestablish it at the source.

I would like to request goofy output formats please...

[meadrocks]

I ran Return Of The Jedi w/ BD-RB 0.50.14, ALTERNATE output, mp4 auto-gop auto-aac 1920x1080, I included all the english subtitles, encoder set to High Quality, yet mediainfo states no subtitles are in the file & vlc shows no subtitles are available.
I also did Angel Heart & Midnight Express with the first English subtitle, also mediainfo & vlc show no subtitle being there.

[jdobbs]

It's a limitation of MP4. You would need to convert to SRT.

I'm getting the "FRIMEncode has stopped working" message on several different disks, right at the start of on the main movie reencode:

Not sure where this is coming from, but I did change to a different ripper recently (used to use AnyDVD, now I'm using FabDVD). Could that be it?

[jdobbs]

Possibly. I have the 3D version of "Wizard of Oz" in my collection. I can test it with AnyDVD. Can you post your settings (BDREBUILDER.INI) so I can make sure we're consistent?

Interesting that it looks like FRIM worked on first stream but failed on the main feature.

@Easypoints

I'm getting the same error, with or without your settings. I'll have to look at it and see why it's doing this.

[jdobbs]

@Easypoints

I'm getting the same error, with or without your settings. I'll have to look at it and see why it's doing this.Unfortunately the issue seems to be in FRIM itself -- and it only seems to be associated with that disc. I tried several other 3D discs with no issues. But for some reason FRIM's decoder cannot decode that specific 3D stream. The same is true for FRIM's AVISYNTH plugin. I'll do some more testing, but it's unlikely that I'll be able to do anything about it since it's out of my control.

[jdobbs]

@Easypoints

In the meantime, if a movie-only backup is adequate, you can deselect a few of the audio tracks and create a no-reencoding-required ISO backup using TSMUXER that will fit on a BD-25.

[Easypoints]

@jdobbs Thanks for looking into this! I also tried a few other disks and everything seems to be fine. I'll try deselecting some audio tracks.

[Ch3vr0n]

@jdobbs just encountered the first disc i think my bd85 wouldn't play natively but i don't think the player's at fault. When i loaded the disc in BDRB i was greeted with the following. I've never seen this one before. What should i use? I'm guessing that same error is the cause why my player tries loading a couple times (loudly), then displays STOP, and when i press play again "that function is not available". Reinsert disc = repeat.

That error is presented by DGDecNV -- I've seen it before (don't remember when), and I just hit "Yes" -- I think there may be more info out there if you search for it.

Did you encounter any playback issues with the audio? Or notice any difference if you clicked no or cancel?

MJ Pt2 is a Lionsgate title that uses Playlist Obfuscation as a copy prevention technique. I had the same problem as you until I got the correct playlist. It depends on the source of the disk. It looks like your project used playlist 428. If you are using the US Region 1 retail disk, 428 may not be the correct playlist. The MakeMKV forum may be a good source to help you figure it out.

[Sharc]

Did you encounter any playback issues with the audio? Or notice any difference if you clicked no or cancel?
I have seen this once or twice. AFAIK I clicked yes and had no playback issues. I didn't try the other options though. I suspect the message comes from DGdecNV which discovers an ambiguity in the audio stream definition which it doesn't want to resolve unattended. Try to open the .m2ts stream directly in DGIndexNV and see if you get the same message. If so, you could ask for more details in the rationaleqm.us forum, or select another decoder and see if it makes a difference.

[gonca]

@Ch3vr0n
If you go into DGIndexNV >> Options >> Response to Mismatched Audio you can set an auto response
The documentation that comes with DGDecNV has some info on it

@ Eazypoints RE: I'm getting the "FRIMEncode has stopped working" message on several different disks, right at the start of on the main movie reencode:

When I did "The Wizard of OZ 3D", I had the same problems. Run BD_RB and do a "full disk" custom size of 50000 and rebuild to a Blu-ray folder. Take that folder and feed it back to BD_Rebuilder and it will complete successfully with a smaller size. I don't really know why, but it worked for me.

Take that folder and feed it back to BD_Rebuilder and it will complete successfully with a smaller size. I don't really know why, but it worked for me.Hmm... that's interesting. That would make you think that it is the structure of the original disc that is causing the FRIM error. At least there's a solution. I'll give it a try too, just to see if there's anything that might enlighten me in the process as to why FRIM is failing.

Just knowing that BD-RB can rebuild it into a structure that is more compatible with FRIM and the Intel SDK than the original is a pretty satisfying thought.

[Edit] Additional note: In the case of "The Wizard of Oz 3D", if you just select the languages you need and allow the default conversion from DTS to AC3, the output of the no-encode full-disc backup is small enough to put on a BD-25 already -- and you don't even need to do the second encode. You have a full disc backup with a perfect representation of the original video!

Hello folks,

I gave the 3d support of bd rb a try, but no success :( The movie's been "Jurassic World 3D". After backing up to 25 GB the film was in 2D and the tv offered to display it in a 2D-to-3D-conversion :(

Am I doing something wrong? Is more info needed? Is this normal behavior?

[jdobbs]

Post your log and your settings. What player are you using? Some software players have issues with different types of 3D structures. The only real test is with a 3D standalone player connected to a 3D monitor.

[Defcon0]

At first I tried my standalone Sony BD Player (updated and approx. 2 years old) in combination with my standalone 3D-ready Philips TV (also approx. 2 years old). In PowerDVD I tried the 50 GB ISO file of the disc also with no success.

Settings attached.

I use a 2 year old Sony player on my system as well.. and I've never had an issue with a single encode.

Yes, but ONLY anydvd can handle those files. You wouldn't be able to burn and play it on a standalone.

[Ch3vr0n]

Well he can burn it back to a BD50 just fine with things like ImgBurn, but you're right it wouldn't play. @bobross that's exactly what the protection is designed NOT to let you do, burn the encrypted content back to disc and play it. It wouldn't be much of a protection if it allowed you to do that. Mount the encrypted ISO back in AnyDVD, enable AnyDVD on the virtual drive and let it decrypt. Then BDRB will be able to process it. But if all you want to do is burn it back to a BD50, why use BDRB at all. Mount the disc in a virtual drive, start ImgBurn in build mode, point it to the virtual drive and hit burn. All done.

[bobross]

Yes I am ok with that, I'm just wondering why its crashing when I try and rip it with encryption.

That is the problem, the current version of AnyDVD does not support this disc yet so I want to rip it for decryption later. And the AnyDVD site is not accepting purchases right now the latest version is also for current license holders....

[Ch3vr0n]

Then you're posting in the wrong forum, you need to post over at the RedFox forums and most a logfile so they can add support. Purchasing is irrelevant to that unless you're using a trial. Logfile processing had been going on normally for a while now. Unless there's some other reason you're not doing that. No logfile, no fix.

Hey sorry, think I'm being misunderstood. My initial post is why BD Rebuilder is crashing with this disc under the assumption the the copy protection does not matter, I'll keep it for now. Nothing to do with AnyDVD, other people just started bringing it up.

[Ch3vr0n]

Either way, if you want that disc supported you'll have to provide a logfile at the RedFox forums. No log, no fix.

Hi,

first of all many thanks to jdobbs for this fabolous piece of software.
I have a question regarding alternate output:
I would like to end up with an mp4 file containing AAC stereo and AC3. I think I'm fine with preset "iPad 2+/iPhone 4s+, 1920x1080, 160Kbs AAC" and want to mux the already extracted AC3 track into the file. I had hoped to find that command in "LASTCMD.txt" but there I only could find the x264 commandline.
Could you please give me a hint how to use the already existing input files such as audio, video & chapters for MP4Box.

I found a cosmetic issue: If you disable an active subtitle track, after turning the subtile on using right click, with double clicking, the letter most right is removed.
Example:
PGS_005, German [FORCED_ON] turns to PGS_005, Germa
PGS_005, Germa [FORCED_ON] turns to PGS_005, Germ
and so on

Another question: As I'm not a native English speaker I would like to keep the full German subtitles for some extras (there are no forced ones). Maybe it could be possible to add another entry on right click to hard-code them.

Many thanks in advance for your feedback

ggtop

[jdobbs]

You could do this:

c:\path\to\bd_rebuilder\tools\mp4box\mp4box.exe -mpeg4 -add current.mp4 -add newaudio.ac3:language=eng -new newoutput.mp4

current.mp4 is the output from BD Rebuilder, newaudio.ac3 is the new AC3 stream you want to add, change "eng" the the language that is appropriate (probably deu).

I just tested the cosmetic bug... yep it does it. I'll fix it for the next release.

As for "Another Question", I assume you mean hard-code them into a full disc backup. I'll have to think about that. It would require that you install SupTitle separately (as is necessary with hardcoded subs in ALTERNATE output).

[ggtop]

Hi jdobbs,

thank you for the suggestion, I will try it when I'm at home.

As for "Another Question", I assume you mean hard-code them into a full disc backup. I'll have to think about that. It would require that you install SupTitle separately (as is necessary with hardcoded subs in ALTERNATE output).

My question was regarding alternate output as well.
I have a German subtitle stream without forced subtitles but want to include these into the final MP4 or MKV.

I tried to add lines
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SupTitle.dll")
SupTitle("C:\USERS\xxx\VIDEOS\BD_RB_WORK3\WORKFILES\00045.track_4612.sup")
right after extraction but each time I restart the encoding the avs file is recreated and my changes are gone.

I don't think hardcoding in a BD structure make sense as BD structures work with PGS anyway.

My player (Panasonic BDT220) seems to be picky. It doesn't Play MKV with muxed subs (ZLIB compression makes no difference).

ggtopFor ALTERNATE output, just enable Suptitle() in the SETUP dialog, and set the preferred language (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT) and BD-RB will do it for you.

[ggtop]

For ALTERNATE output, just enable Suptitle() in the SETUP dialog, and set the preferred language (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT) and BD-RB will do it for you.

Mmh, call me blind, but the only thing related to SUBs seems to be FORCED_SUB_LANG which I already set to DEU;GER;

From what I have read this setting will let BDRB output forced subs into a new sub track which will be hardcoded which is what I need for all subs and not only forced subs :-)

[jdobbs]

Click on the "Settings" menu item, then select "Setup". You'll see it in the "General Encoder Options" section on the lower-right. Then just select a subtitle from the streams list that you want forced on.

[Edit]Whoops. That's not working... for now just add your filters:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SupTitle.dll")
SupTitle("C:\USERS\xxx\VIDEOS\BD_RB_WORK3\WORKFILES\00045.track_4612.sup")

But you have to add them by clicking on "Use AVS filters during encoding" from the SETUP dialog.

[Edit again] I've changed the code for the next release so the instructions above will work.

[CV91913]

For ALTERNATE output, just enable Suptitle() in the SETUP dialog, and set the preferred language (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT) and BD-RB will do it for you.

Is there anything the User has to install to get Suptitle() to work? Is just setting the language and enabling it in Setup all that is required to burn in forced subtitles?

[jdobbs]

You just have to download suptitle and store it somewhere -- as it has a rule that it can't be redistributed with other software. I put it in the BD Rebuilder tools folder, but it really doesn't matter where -- the AVISYNTH plug-in folder makes it available for other software. Within BD-RB you will have to navigate to the DLL the first time you try to select it in order to establish a path to it.

As I mentioned above, it is currently only working for forced subtitles (forced within the stream) unless you add the filters.

[ggtop]

Click on the "Settings" menu item, then select "Setup". You'll see it in the "General Encoder Options" section on the lower-right. Then just select a subtitle from the streams list that you want forced on.

But you have to add them by clicking on "Use AVS filters during encoding" from the SETUP dialog.

[Edit again] I've changed the code for the next release so the instructions above will work.

:o Thank you for looking into this
The downside when using "Use AVS filters during encoding" is that the source is rescanned after saving the settings and therefore I have to redo the settings (picking playlist and so on). The "first pass" is to demux the stream and to look for the proper PGS PID.

You mean that marking a subtitle stream as [FORCED ON] will fully hardcode the stream and override FORCED_SUB_LANG in a future/next version.
If you want to me to test this in advance please let me know.

Thanks again

[jdobbs]

I'll send you an interim test version...

[jdobbs]

current.mp4 is the output from BD Rebuilder, newaudio.ac3 is the new AC3 stream you want to add, change "eng" the the language that is appropriate (probably deu).
.
Hi,

just tested adding the already existing AC3 file into the mp4 file:
mp4box -mpeg4 -add MyFile.mp4 -add "MyFile.ac3"#audio:name=WhatYouLike:lang=<LANG ID> -new NewFile.mp4 works.

Far too vague. Need more to go on. 90% of the time, I have zero issues. Probably closer to 95%
Do you mean the finished output size? E.g. 21GB, and then 22.5GB? While that's somewhat considerable in gig-age, by proportion, the difference is very small.

Hell, I do all my disks at 23gb, and I have noticed it's not an exact measurement when you choose a custom size also.

You could probably find a better term than "useless". BDRB does a lot outside of BD rips -- like, for example, authoring a new disc, with menus, from multiple video files.

Hey, just a quickie... Say I get hold of a file and in order to make it playable on my OPPO player I have to reencode it. So, normally what I do is import the file into BDRB and set the size slightly smaller so that it will reencode it.

Now, I can't see anywhere where if I have a DTS audio file, where I can keep it from reencoding it into AC3. Normally I will want to keep the DTS, but I can't see how to do it.

Is there a way to do this when the file sizes are going to be a BD5 or BD9 as opposed to a full Blu-ray size?

Thanks!

Mr. jddobs,

You think you're the only one allowed to use anonymous accounts.You don't govern me and I wouldn't give you the benefit of tracking my previous comments for that would only result in further nitpicking as previously demonstrated by some of your supporters. You've created a pretty good support system for yourself and you wrote a specific set of rules to deflect criticism you think you're immune to. I used to have respect for you, and I trusted you. It takes years to build trust but only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it all.

With the help of other senior programmers, I was able to put your code under the microscope and what I've discovered, particularly in the last two releases is straight and downright invasive.

1. You are either steeling work from other authors or they're in on it with you. That's why you can't release a final version. Things simply aren't yours to release. What you're doing is similar to what most game developers now days are doing. The game is free, but if you want the extra plane or car to compete with the higher tier players, you gotta pay for it, son. You want a little extra firepower? No problem, for only 7.99 you can have this super awesome undetectable hack, for vip and private invite members only of course!!

2. All previous versions ran on an independent box, isolated from the internet with only your software and they're dependencies on it, dedicated to BDRB testing. Why would the last two versions act differently when there were no changes to the box itself? I'll tell you why, which brings me to my third point.

Wow JD, I didn't know...

Have you had the surgery yet...?

I become busy with a lot of personal stuff, come back and check to see what's happening...haven't used BD-RB in a bit either..

Nice, Lathe! My side hurts..Oohh....

@Ch3vr0n

That error is presented by DGDecNV -- I've seen it before (don't remember when), and I just hit "Yes" -- I think there may be more info out there if you search for it.


A bit ago, I noticed this, too, after I got my Rush R40 Live BD. I also noticed the click "Yes" functioned fine. I meant to post before, ..but... Anyway, glad 2 others noticed.

Mr. jddobs,

You think you're the only one allowed to use anonymous accounts.You don't govern me and I wouldn't give you the benefit of tracking my previous comments for that would only result in further nitpicking as previously demonstrated by some of your supporters. You've created a pretty good support system for yourself and you wrote a specific set of rules to deflect criticism you think you're immune to. I used to have respect for you, and I trusted you. It takes years to build trust but only suspicion, not proof, to destroy it all.

With the help of other senior programmers, I was able to put your code under the microscope and what I've discovered, particularly in the last two releases is straight and downright invasive.

1. You are either steeling work from other authors or they're in on it with you. That's why you can't release a final version. Things simply aren't yours to release. What you're doing is similar to what most game developers now days are doing. The game is free, but if you want the extra plane or car to compete with the higher tier players, you gotta pay for it, son. You want a little extra firepower? No problem, for only 7.99 you can have this super awesome undetectable hack, for vip and private invite members only of course!!

2. All previous versions ran on an independent box, isolated from the internet with only your software and they're dependencies on it, dedicated to BDRB testing. Why would the last two versions act differently when there were no changes to the box itself? I'll tell you why, which brings me to my third point.

3. The code shows evidence of back doors. Your software now secretly attempts to contact servers and connect to databases in countries such as the former Soviet Union which means data security and privacy is compromised significantly. You come here and tell me that my comments and behavior are inappropriate and threaten me with strikes and bans, but I'll tell you how you can get sued for a lot of money for what you did and this right here is the major reason why I don't trust and support you anymore.

I've found a small regression error. If you change the playlist to something not already demuxed and mark a subtitle track as forced, the preview does not work (message cannot render file) because the subtitle track is not available yet and can't be adressed in the avs. Maybe "subtitle integration" should be disabled on preview...

@DRKPSYD

First you should learn how to spell. The word is "steal" not "steel". Second, I have never stolen anything in my life.

I give this software away. I spend hours and hours on it -- simply to give other people and myself some software that is useful. Hell, I haven't even gotten a donation in almost a year to help cover the cost of discs that are being tested. Yet you think you somehow have the right to write a diatribe (complete nonsense based on crap you've made up) not only making ridiculous accusations -- but somehow you seem to have justified it in your mind.

The sense of entitlement of some people is beyond comprehension. If you aren't happy with the software -- then don't use it. It's not like I owe you any explanation. Of course in your view there is some kind of conspiracy apparently going on. It would be laughable if it weren't so representative of people like you. Just go away. Keep going away. When you're as far away as possible -- go a little further. People here are civil and like to get things done. You, on the other hand, just like to create controversy, make up lies, start arguments, and in the end unwittingly (this is the sad part) make a complete fool of yourself.

But for others, here is a response to your silliness:

1. Every single line of code in BD-RB was written by me. Not a single line came from anywhere else. Anything that represents other people's work is in the tools BD-RB uses. Those tools are acknowledged per the author's instructions and/or compliant with the software's GPL.
2. I don't release a final version for one reason. I don't want to. It's my decision. Any other opinion doesn't matter.
3. There are no dependencies to the internet. The program doesn't need an internet connection. It doesn't even have any modules included that support a direct internet connection. I probably would have added one if I ever decided to make a version that needed a license -- but I decided to keep it free so that wasn't necessary.
4. Back doors? Oh for God's sake. There are no connections to databases anywhere. Do you know how ridiculous that is? Next you'll be linking me to alien autopsies, bigfoot, and the Kennedy assassination.

Forensic analysis? C'mon. My opinion is that you wouldn't know a forensic analysis if it fell out of the sky onto your face and started to wiggle.

Another strike issued for failure to follow moderator instructions.

To everyone else: I suggest we simply ignore this guy. He's either a troll who gets off on this kind of thing, or he actually believes that things he states -- which is much sadder. Either way, ignoring him is the best course of action.

Hey, I was wondering for the few odd times that I have to re-encode a file to make it either MKV or BD compliant with my OPPO player, I can't seem to see how I can keep the audio from being re-encoded to AC3.

Is there a way...?

[jdobbs]

Is there a way...? First, yes there is a way. Second -- in most cases you really shouldn't if you are creating a playable disc. While there are players that will play a BD formatted source on DVD (BD-5/9) that has a DTS audio track -- it really isn't compliant with the AVCHD standard. AVCHD only supports AC3 or PCM audio. Allowing DTS will cause the disc to fail on many other players.

To do it:

1. In the setup dialog, uncheck the "Strict AVCHD for BD-5/9 Movie-Only"
2. Add the following line to your INI file:

OVERRIDE_AVCHD_AUDIO_LIMIT=1

To do it on an MKV file is pretty easy. You just create a profile (or use one of the existing profiles) that keeps audio intact.

Thank you for the help, maybe I just did not consider something...You can set the default color for menus created via Quick-Play or Imports -- but you can't change the color of the original disc if you are doing a full backup.

Look for MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR and MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR in HIDDENOPTS.TXT. But, since the default is GREEN, I suspect this isn't what you're talking about.

[mparade]

Hello,

I used the following options in BD-RB:

MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=custom
MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR=0xe2001e

0xe2001e is a shade of Venetian Red but in the menu the active color is a saturated deep blue due to some for me unknown reason.

Please help.

Thank you in advance for the help!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I am using the import/Quick-Play function of BD-RB to backup my Tom&Jerry DVD collection (130 episodes). I meant the button state in normal mode (without being selected). I checked and the green colour appeared when the buttons were selected. I am just asking if the button is not selected the default "grey" colour can be modified or not.

Thank you in advance for the help!I think you may have what you think is the position for Red and Blue reversed. In yours:

E2 = Blue
00 = Green
1E = Red

So you'd get a color that is largely blue. In Microsoft's color model (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd355244.aspx), the least significant byte is Red, so it would look like 0xBBGGRR.

The value you probably want to use would be 0x1e00e2

Now, it is clear, thank you very much. I used previously the hex colour code I got directly from Photoshop for the active unique button colour. Instead, the RGB numbers should be used from PS and a decimal code should be calculated based on Microsoft's color model. The calculated decimal code is correct, I can confirm, BD-RB use this decimal code correctly. :cool:

You were correct. I reversed the Blue and Red channels....correct colour code is 0x1e00e2 as you assumed.

I'd then make the default MENU_NORMAL_COLOR a darker shade of the selected MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR. So, for example, if MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR is green, the the normal (not selected) font color would be a darker green. If you set a custom color for MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR, the NORMAL color would be a darker shade of your selection.

With that said, I would also allow a specific color to be used for MENU_NORMAL_COLOR (it would work just like MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR).

Does that sound reasonable?

I need help with the audio on some recent backups.

I made a backup of the butterfly effect trilogy. Its it region free, but has pal and ntsc mixed disks. The first one and third seems to run at 23.976 but the audio is pitched up.

The second is 25 fps. I see there is a few hidden option in HIDDENOPTS.TXT "IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM=n" and"ALTERNATE_PAL=n" I'll can rerun again with this option enabled for the second film.

I assume this will fix speed up pal pitch on the 25fps one. Is there a option to fix the pitch on the disks that are already 24? I not sure why there is still a higher pitch if its 24? Here is the log for the second film I deleted the first/third one not knowing of the audio issue.

2. Add the following line to your INI file:

OVERRIDE_AVCHD_AUDIO_LIMIT=1

To do it on an MKV file is pretty easy. You just create a profile (or use one of the existing profiles) that keeps audio intact.

Thanks! Oh, I didn't know that the AVCHD structure didn't include DTS, interesting... I don't normally create BD playable structures for that size anyway. Usually, I would be simply reencoding an MKV file to make it playable on my OPPO.

I've checked the presets for alternate output, but there never quite seems to be the right video output for 'keep audio intact'. Because many times the video is the only thing that really needs attention and reencoding, whereas the audio is almost always fine.

Also too, I KNOW that I must be doing something wrong (what else is new...?) but the last couple of MKV reencodes that I have done with alternate output have come out where when I try to play them on my OPPO, the picture is screwed up in the way that shows that the file was reencoded ONLY for a BDMV folder. I know, because that has happened in other cases before where the resultant MKV file does not play properly as an MKV file, but WILL play in a BDMV structure. Weird too... because when using alternate output, why would it be encoded in such a way only to play in a BDMV structure and not simply as an MKV file?

Really puzzling... Actually, that is what just happened when I tried reencoding with an alternate output, and since the resulting MKV file didn't play right, I HAD to take the resulting file and convert it into a BDMV structure where it did play properly, thus the question about retaining the DTS file, because in this case I HAD to create a BDMV structure in order to play the file properly.

Heh, I hope in all this verbage I explained somewhat what I meant...

Basically to narrow it down, now that you've answered about the DTS in a BDMV folder, I guess my only questions are, why is the alternate output coming out ONLY playable in a BDMV folder instead of simply playing as an MKV file? And, when I choose the output, why can't I choose 720 w/ intact audio? It LOOKS like I can only choose 1080? And with many MKV files I don't need to do that.

Thanks again!

[jdobbs]

@XPAN7ER

I don't think I'm understanding you. What do you mean by "pitched up" audio? Since you have "keep original audio" set, the audio isn't being modified at all.

Can you give me a brief explanation of what you're attempting? You're combining BDs via import? Combining DVDs via import?

What model of Oppo do you have? If I can find the manual I can see what limitations it has in it's playback. If it supports MKV as a container, I'm surprised that it doesn't support pretty much any AVC video steam within it...

[XPAN7ER]

The audio from the bluray is higher in pitch or tone like a record that's been speed up. Its sounds notably off compared to the ultra violet version I've watched.

I think the original audio from this br disk is the issue. Here is the set I'm attempting to use

http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Butterfly-Effect-Trilogy-Blu-ray/5378/#Overview

I'm making backups of my disks for use with plex. I want around 10gb 1080p mkv with high quality audio backups.

What I need to do with these is convert a pal disk (movie 3) to 24fps 1080p mkv with HQ audio. And fix the other two movies(1&2) audio with a pitch correction and then output a 1080p mkv with HQ audio.

[mparade]

So what I'm thinking about doing is removing the need for MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR by letting you, as an option, just put a value to MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR directly.

So in your case you could just put MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=0x01e00e2 (as an alternative to just GREEN, RED, YELLOW,[...]).

I'd then make the default MENU_NORMAL_COLOR a darker shade of the selected MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR. So, for example, if MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR is green, the the normal (not selected) font color would be a darker green. If you set a custom color for MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR, the NORMAL color would be a darker shade of your selection.

With that said, I would also allow a specific color to be used for MENU_NORMAL_COLOR (it would work just like MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR).

Does that sound reasonable?

It would solve all my current "issues" regarding the Import/Quick menu function and would really appreciate if you could do that.

I found that with this function you gave some force (but hoping not from the Dark Psyde :D) to the users....

Anyway, the option to be able to use a specific color both for MENU_NORMAL_COLOR and MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR is useful because if one is using a unique background image in the menu, it would be great if the colours of the two button states can be tweaked based on the unique background colors.

Thanks both of you!

I had contacted OPPO once before about this. And if the video file is SPECIFICALLY encoded for a Blu-ray BDMV folder (bluray_compat, vbv_maxrate, vbv_bufsize, nal_hrd...???) then when the OPPO goes to play the MKV file, it shows weird pixelation and diagonal lines on the picture (they always look identical when this happens, BTW) So, if an MKV file is simply encoded as most generic MKV files WITHOUT whatever BDMV parameters that you would normally add for Blu-ray, then as long as the B frames are not too high (4) and the ref frames (4-8 depending on the resolution) and there aren't any weird look-ahead demands or buffer rates, it usually will play most.

BTW, where exactly do I modify the alternate.txt file? So, even if I do that, won't these other parameters still kind of mess up my resulting MKV file? Can I add x264 tweaks for an alternate output file?

It's weird also... and I've written OPPO about this too and they had no real answer. No matter HOW basic I make the CMD line, just to do a simple re-encode to make it supposedly 'compliant', the resulting MKV file never plays. So damn frustrating. That's why I REALLY like BDRB (well, ONE of the many reasons) is because it SEEMS so easy to re-encode anything and at least make it BDMV compliant. It WOULD be nice, though, to be able to output to a simple, playable MKV file, which my OPPO will play...

As far as the manual is concerned (I have the older BDP-83) Believe me, I have scoured it exhaustively, and all I can come up with is that the streams inside the MKV container need to be able to be played natively by the OPPO. So, other than the restrictions I mentioned before, I just have to make sure the audio is supported (I normally either make sure it is DTS or AC3 since the OPPO always plays those) and that is about it.

So, I'm guessing that if I can somehow tweak or overcome BDRB's encoding to BDMV compliance, then I should be able to play the resulting MKV files. And, what is REALLY weird... is that I THINK I've actually done it with BDRB before, but I can't remember how I did it! :)

Thanks!

I'd have to guess there's something wrong with your player's handling of MKVs then. One possibility might be the MKV compression settings, as some players don't like them. None of the settings for a blu-ray compatible stream are inconsistent with standard H.264 streams, saying it is anything other than standard for an MKV is completely wrong. If anything, the settings simplify and limit the range of possible things that could be used in the H.264 stream -- making it less complex and even more compatible across playback devices. For that reason I can't think of any way I could make changes that could help you.

[Edit] Does your player support MP4 or M2TS formats? Some players can only play from and M2TS format.

Just for the heck of it, try setting USE_ZLIB=0 in your INI and see if that makes the MKV output start working.

Hmmm, yeah, that does indeed seem to make sense since Blu-ray compatibility should be more narrow and restrictive.

No, the OPPO does not natively play MP4, but it will within an MKV file. Same with M2ts. It will only play those within a proper BDMV or AVCHD folder. This was one of the first heavier duty OPPOs and it IS like over 5 years old now, I think. So, the newer ones I believe are not as restrictive in what they can play (FLAC, for example, and probably MP4 now)

Thanks kindly for the more detailed instructions. And YES, intuitively I do think that it has something to do with the x264 settings, and YES I feel that if I can apply the correct 'tweaks' it might work.

[Lathe]

@Lathe

Just for the heck of it, try setting USE_ZLIB=0 in your INI and see if that makes the MKV output start working.

Hmmm, interesting. I'll give it a go...

Yeah, I KNOW this has been most puzzling, even I think to the OPPO people, because in other cases where it merely will not play a certain MKV file, I have sent them the x264 settings and asked them WHY it wouldn't play, and they didn't have an answer for me.

It's been a REAL bloody BUGGER of a mystery...!

That's why I have spent frigg'n HOURS and HOURS studying x264 coding and parameters, so that I can somehow get a handle on WHY some of the bloody files won't play. That's why it is SO damn nice having BDRB because pretty much it is SO easy simply to re-encode any problematic files so that they can play. Other than just that ONE tiny hitch that I mentioned.

I'll try the code in the ini, thanks!

[Lathe]

Also, seeing the 'zlib' in what you suggested reminds me that my player does choke on any header compression. I remember when MKV Merge started automatically removing that. Before that, MKV files made with it I always had to check and run it through MKV Merge in order to make sure that there was no header compression.

I DON'T actually KNOW what I am talking about, but I do know that my player will not play files with header compression.

I'm not totally sure if that is what you are talking about here... But, in those cases, the player would actually freeze and not be able to play the file. In the case I mention here with the alternate output, it plays, but the video has that weird pixelation. If that happens again, I will take a snapshot of what it looks like.

[Lathe]

Okay, I took an actual snapshot of what the video looks like on my television while playing the re-encoded MKV file through my OPPO. Now, as the file is playing, it fluctuates; the picture snaps into place properly for a few seconds, then looks like the picture here mostly, and keeps going back and forth. FWIW, whenever I play an MKV file that is encoded for a BDMV folder, it ALWAYS looks EXACTLY like this every time. The OPPO people DID tell me that when an MKV file is encoded for a BDMV folder, it will not play properly; of course they didn't elaborate. Perhaps if I 'tweaked' the x264 settings and removed whatever makes it Blu-ray compliant? Most MKV files that I 'come across' usually are NOT encoded for BDMV and about 95% of them play just fine. Not that I know what the hell I'm talking about, but that just happens to be the case.

I added the 'zlib' code that you suggested to my ini and I also used the preset GONCA that you kindly gave me, thanks!

Here is the log (BTW, my humble apologies, I don't think that I've gotten around to DLing your newest version yet, sorry...)

I'm working on 'Holiday Inn' right now. What I want to do is strip the colorized version of the movie... which makes the full disc 24.1gb.
I setup for full backup to BD25 and 'quicker encode for extras'. This turns 2.60gb of extras to 640mb and brings the disc size to about 22gb.

Unfortunately, BD-RB keeps going and performs a re-encode on the full movie, even though it now no longer has a need.
Is there any way to prevent the main movie from being encoded, or am I stuck waiting for rebuilding to complete and then copying the original files into the rebuilt directory?

One thing come to mind that you could do. What I do sometimes when the size is REAL close to the usual BDRB 22.x Gig limit, is I go into the settings and set the custom size to like 24,200 or something like that, so that it give you almost another Gig of space on the disc. I can't remember the number exactly, but it is somewhere around that. I first thought you could add the Force No Encode to your ini, but then I don't think it would re-encode the Xtras like you want.

I had tried bumping the output size a gigabyte, but it almost seems like once videos start getting encoded they all get encoded.

Would Rebuilder actually distinguish that it doesn't need to touch the movie once the extras have been encoded?

Hello,

Does BD-RB automatically use MULTIPROCESS=0 when AVS editor is being used (no any rescaling is used in either the script, or in the setup dialogue, only MVDegrain3 and LimitedSharpenFaster as the last filter in the chain)? I did not find anything regarding this in the description of "BD Rebuilder Multi-process Encoding". The filter-chain used seems not to be working in MT mode so my only chance to speed up the process is to divide the encoding task into smaller chunks and then running multiple instances of X264 concurrently".

Any help would be appreciated.

It did PRECISELY the same thing that always happens. As an MKV file, it looked exactly like the other ones. However, when I used TSMuxer and placed the file in a BDMV folder, it played perfectly.

Weird, huh...?

I appreciate any suggestions. But, this is has been a very long standing weirdness with my player. It could just be some odd idiosyncracy with my player when rendering MKV files that have been encoded for BDMV. I don't know... I looked at the x264 settings in the file, and again, other than the bluray_compat=1 setting and whatever other BDMV settings there (buffer, etc...???) it doesn't look like anything else is out of place.

Please don't bother yourselves too much with this, since even OPPO didn't have an answer for me. And, quite honestly, this ONLY happens in this case. I should try re-encoding files like this and just simply remove whatever Blu-ray compatible settings are there. That might work, I don't know...

But, this only happens in these rare cases or when I use BDMV for alternate output, which now I almost never do. The workaround, which really isn't that bad, is just to place the file in a BDMV folder and play it that way, that's all.

Thanks though!

I KNOW... it has been quite a mystery! :)

Here is the encoding settings for that file FWIW:

cabac=1 / ref=4 / deblock=1:1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=umh / subme=10 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=24 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=2 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / lookahead_threads=1 / sliced_threads=0 / slices=4 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=1 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=1 / b_adapt=2 / b_bias=0 / direct=3 / weightb=1 / open_gop=1 / weightp=0 / keyint=24 / keyint_min=1 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=60 / rc=2pass / mbtree=1 / bitrate=4000[?] / ratetol=1.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=10 / qpmax=51 / qpstep=4 / cplxblur=20.0 / qblur=0.5 / vbv_maxrate=5000 / vbv_bufsize=14745 / [?]nal_hrd=vbr [?]/ filler=0 / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00

[mparade]

No, it will still break it up assuming nothing else stops it.

BD-RB ignored MULTIPROCESS>0 in my Quick-play menu encode including 159 very short cartoon episodes. I would suspect that the reason is the very short length of the episodes (~9-10.000 frames/episode). Anyway, all the episodes are 576i 25fps (progressive content, DGDecNV used for frameserving, --fake interlaced command is used in the command line to be BD compliant). Without using multiprocess my processor utilization is at 40% averagely. :scared:

Unfortunately, that is not what I'm seeing happen. I've bumped the BD25 target all the way up to 36gb and BDRB still starts to re-encode the film and the extras, even though 24gb would be enough to keep everything untouched.

With a target above the total size of the disc (45gb) nothing gets re-encoded.

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong or someone would have seen this before.

Honestly, it seems like if you use Edit Mode/Manual Blanking, the items selected for blanking aren't being deducted from the calculations:

(Source size or video size should be more like 24gb, not 48gb).

What is strange with a 4 Mbps bitrate? For playback of stuff that I just watch, that bitrate is perfect. The x264 encoder, when used in 2-pass, is hard to beat. Try to find macroblocks at that bitrate is extremely difficult. Other stuff that I do is done at higher bit rates, especially if I plan on authoring a Blu-ray.

Per Bluray specs vbv_maxrate need to be higher than vbv_bufsize, additionally a maxrate of only 5000 kbps will severely impact the quality of complex scenes, something like vbv_maxrate=15000 / vbv_bufsize=14745 is probably better.

Yes, that is true when using the USB for playing. But whenever I want to watch a Blu-ray or something that large file-wise on the USB, I just make sure that the m2ts files are under 4 Gigs within the BDMV folder.

Heh, interesting catch with the capitalizing; hadn't noticed that. I don't THINK that is it because the only time I've noticed this behaviour is specifically when an MKV file is encoded for Blu-ray compatibility (or if some mysterious parameters are off and it just simply chokes my player, but that happens very rarely)

[Lathe]

Well, if you are going to go to that trouble to allow it to re-encode, then what I would suggest, and sometimes I do this myself, is simply allow BDRB to create an m2ts file for the MOVIE ONLY and set it aside. Then go back and browse to the same Blu-ray and blank the main movie and ONLY encode the xtras. See how much space you need for the xtras to fit along with the movie in a BDMV folder, and set custom output for slightly smaller than that.

That way, you at least ONLY have to wait until the xtras re-encode, which you could choose 'Very Fast' 1 pass ABR if you want and it wouldn't take long. The take the resulting m2ts files for the xtras and the movie only m2ts and use TSMuxer to mux them together into one Blu-ray folder (BDMV) and you should be set.

This way at least, you don't have to wait to re-encode the actual whole movie (which you don't want anyway)

I hope that helps!

[Lathe]

Weird, yes indeed.

I suppose I could try it without the bluray_compat=1 setting. But, something tells me that not even that will make a difference.

Appreciate the comments! Believe me, I have read EXTENSIVELY about what x264 parameters are needed just for Blu-ray compatibility. A pretty basic CMD line is SUPPOSEDLY all you need. For example, her are some I've tried for just a simple re-encode:

x264-64.exe "C:\x\test.mkv" --profile high --level 4.1 --vbv-maxrate 62500 --vbv-bufsize 78125 --preset veryfast --crf 24 --tune film --output "C:\x\Encode.mkv"

or this one was recommended by Selur, the designer of HYBRID:

--profile high --level 4.1 --vbv-maxrate 62500 --vbv-bufsize 78125

It doesn't get much simpler than that. But, no go... The damn things won't play AT ALL. They always choke my player. So, I am COMPLETELY mystified by what the heck is doing it, especially when I am trying such bloody SIMPLE CMD line codes! One thing that I WAS able to determine is that the presets like 'Slow' or maybe it was 'Very Slow' have parameters that my player won't play (like to high ref frames or B frames, for example) But, GEEZ, you think using 'Very Fast' should work, but NO!

That is why I frigg'n LOVE BDRB, because, overall whatever IT does, even though I can only play the BDMV folder stuff, at least it still always re-encodes and bloody WORKS!

I just don't know frigg'n WHY...! :cool:

Anyway, I found some research and comparisons from some movie snippets and encodes that I had tried before and the results (Sorry JD for taking up so much bloody room 'talking' about my stuff, but this should be it :o )

[MrVideo]

Per Bluray specs vbv_maxrate need to be higher than vbv_bufsize, additionally a maxrate of only 5000 kbps will severely impact the quality of complex scenes, something like vbv_maxrate=15000 / vbv_bufsize=14745 is probably better.

I've 2-pass encoded many a file, with complex scenes, and you will be hard pressed to find macroblocking/pixelization issues.

[MrVideo]

Appreciate the comments! Believe me, I have read EXTENSIVELY about what x264 parameters are needed just for Blu-ray compatibility. A pretty basic CMD line is SUPPOSEDLY all you need.
I didn't know that you have really dug into this problem. I hate to say this, but your only fix may be to get a newer OPPO player.

[Lathe]

I didn't know that you have really dug into this problem. I hate to say this, but your only fix may be to get a newer OPPO player.

Heh, that's funny :) Nah, everything else is fine, and like I say, this ONLY really happens once in a while with random MKV files (it hasn't happened in a while) And just the re-encode thing, and I can work around that. Otherwise it honestly is a kick@ss player :D

As to what you said about about your encodes. I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with yours. I just meant that whatever was in these encodes that I happened to try just caused my OPPO to pixelize, and I don't mean just some macroblocking because of low bitrate, I'm talking about kind of like the picture I posted. Obviously not being played back properly at all.

Thanks Bro!

I didn't take your posting as being negative in any way, shape, or form. I understand that the pixelization issues you are having are a result of the player. I was just curious as to why you flagged the 4 Mbps bitrate.

Seriously, a new OPPO might be in order. It will be even more kick-ass. :D

Oh yeah, I see what you mean now... Well, one thing I really DON'T understand is the parameter within the encode that actually specifies a particular bit rate. I didn't mean that anything is wrong with it, but in my ignorance, I just selected it as one of the parameters that I don't understand and I don't know how it directly affects the playback since I DON'T always see a bit rate specified in MKV encodes. Or, at least if it is there, I have missed it...

For example, in the above configuration for the film 'SHAME THE DEVIL' (that actually DID play properly) you notice that there is no bit rate specified in the encode. So, I was pointing out that in the 3 other encodes that either didn't play or played pixelated, VBV max & buffer rates ARE specified (as for Blu-rays) So, I was selecting that parameter as a POSSIBLE snag in affecting my playback. Not the bit rate specifically, but perhaps just the fact that any is included or specified in the encode itself. I really don't know...

[DoctorM]

Well, if you are going to go to that trouble to allow it to re-encode, then what I would suggest, and sometimes I do this myself, is simply allow BDRB to create an m2ts file for the MOVIE ONLY and set it aside. Then go back and browse to the same Blu-ray and blank the main movie and ONLY encode the xtras. See how much space you need for the xtras to fit along with the movie in a BDMV folder, and set custom output for slightly smaller than that.

That way, you at least ONLY have to wait until the xtras re-encode, which you could choose 'Very Fast' 1 pass ABR if you want and it wouldn't take long. The take the resulting m2ts files for the xtras and the movie only m2ts and use TSMuxer to mux them together into one Blu-ray folder (BDMV) and you should be set.

This way at least, you don't have to wait to re-encode the actual whole movie (which you don't want anyway)

I hope that helps!
I've done similar, and probably what I'll do this time. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1678011#post1678011)

In this case, it probably doesn't matter since the extras are all 480i, but in general there is the problem that if you do it that way, the max bitrate is restricted to AVCHD spec and the audio can only be up to DD 640kbps.

Again, in this case, it won't matter.

It seems that most people prefer to use the crf parameter. I'm the oddball that likes choosing the bitrate. :D

Looking at your examples again, I did notice that bluray_compat=1 for all the ones that didn't work and bluray_compat=0 for the one that did work.

If you are curious, I can try encoding the same video again, but with bluray_compat=0.

vbv_bufsize should always be less or equal to vbv_maxrate (for max. 1 second buffer delay for Blu-ray compliance).

You might have a buffer problem with the OPPO for your crf=16 + buffer settings combination.
You could try to increase the crf (crf=20 for lowering the bitrate), or play with the buffers, or simply drop the buffer specification for .mkv output. You may also drop --bluray-compat.

[MrVideo]

vbv_bufsize should always be less or equal to vbv_maxrate (for max. 1 second buffer delay for Blu-ray compliance).

I'll have to fix that in my script. Thanks.

[emilio99]

I have still a error which I reported a long time ago:
setting the default language to another language than english (in my case to german) doesn't work. In the mkv english is still the DEFAULT language.

I provided relevant logs and also added some step by step photos. I'm using alternative output with:

Currently the default audio selection from the streams list only applies to a movie-only BD backup. But I will add code to make it apply to MKV and MP4 for the next release.

Believe me, I have read EXTENSIVELY about what x264 parameters are needed just for Blu-ray compatibility. A pretty basic CMD line is SUPPOSEDLY all you need. For example, her are some I've tried for just a simple re-encode:

x264-64.exe "C:\x\test.mkv" --profile high --level 4.1 --vbv-maxrate 62500 --vbv-bufsize 78125 --preset veryfast --crf 24 --tune film --output "C:\x\Encode.mkv"

or this one was recommended by Selur, the designer of HYBRID:

--profile high --level 4.1 --vbv-maxrate 62500 --vbv-bufsize 78125

Late to this party, and I don't know nuttin' bout playing mkv on an Oppo player, but you mention Blu-ray compatibility and then set yours off-the-charts-high? Those need to be 40000 and 30000 respectively, with bitrate no higher than 15000.

Hello,

There's something broken with MULTIPROCESS=X and 2-pass. As well as IVTC with 59.940fps files(?), this one happens to be H.264. When I set MULTIPROCESS=0 then the job completes but with jerky video. It's from a TiVo file I processed with VideoReDo TVSuite. With 2-pass, it fails as soon as 2nd is started.

........Believe me, I have read EXTENSIVELY about what x264 parameters are needed just for Blu-ray compatibility.......

Seeing your partially odd buffer settings, I have my doubts..... :rolleyes:
Did you get these from BD-RB??

[DoctorM]

But, if he is doing a full 25 Gig Blu-ray backup, he shouldn't have to worry about that, right...?

No. We are talking about removing the movie and re-encoding only the extras and adding the untouched movie back later.

I'm not sure where the cut-off is but somewhere under 25gb (possible 9gb), BD-RB assumes a disc that size is AVCHD and will use AVCHD specs instead of BD.

Edit: Okay so I pre-stripped what I wanted removed using BD-RB and reloaded the stripped version and set the movie to be blanked.
And now this:
LABEL=HOLIDAY_INN_STRIPPED

SOURCE_VIDEO_SIZE=2763804672
TARGET_SIZE=2086666240

So reduction is 0.75
VID_00300 is originally 5139Kbps according to MediaInfo.
This is happening with Rebuilder...
http://114.imagebam.com/download/FZKehMiESPU9DmgfIweGPw/47614/476138466/BDRB.jpg

Any suggestions?

Edit 2: Ah, never mind. I'll just duplicate the first strip and remove the movie with the same target size. Should do the job.
Weird though.

You could try to increase the crf (crf=20 for lowering the bitrate), or play with the buffers, or simply drop the buffer specification for .mkv output. You may also drop --bluray-compat.

Hmmm, yes, this seems to be moving towards what the deal is with my OPPO player. The way the picture looks (when it plays) in this situation, is almost like the OPPO is trying to 'catch up' with the picture. It renders it okay for a couple of seconds and then the screen looks like the picture I attached earlier here. ALMOST the same thing happens when the ref frames are too high; the picture will look okay for a couple of seconds and then pixelate, although in that specific case it doesn't form the same pattern as the picture I posted here, but is more random pixelation.

This is what I was wondering, as you say, because it is almost ALWAYS in encodes where the buffer rates and sizes ARE specified is where it seems that this happens. It still leaves unexplained as to why when I use the most basic CMD line codes to re-encode an MKV file, it never bloody plays...

But hey, one step at a time :)

Thanks for your input. I think this is likely getting close to what my OPPO is doing with some of these files.

Yes, I believe both of you are right. I was just parroting what some 'Official' page said about Blu-ray compatibility settings. I don't claim to UNDERSTAND them fully... :)

I'm still thinking though that you are right about the rate and buffer settings; I have a feeling that for MKV files those should just be jettisoned as far as my player is concerned. Like I mentioned, with about 95%+ of the MKV files that I 'come across', most do NOT have any of these settings and play just fine.

Thanks guys!

[worknstiff]

@ DoctorM RE: No. We are talking about removing the movie and re-encoding only the extras and adding the untouched movie back later.
Wow, on the few times that I came across some extra I couldn't live without like some Mad Men or Game of Thrones extras, I did it the hard way. I encoded the movie down to a 15gb size and then put all the extras back into a 50gb BDRB rebuild. Then I re-encoded that back down to a BD25 Rebuild. I had some extras that started out maybe 3gb and were now less than 600mb and the main episodes were almost un-touched. It never occurred to me to just strip them out first and then get them down, lol.

[DoctorM]

The more I experiment, the more it looks like using manual blanking on any streams results in a wrong reduction percentage calculation.
I can't seem to get around that.

Has anyone else found this? Take any disc, select to remove something big and the reduction calculated is based on the pre-blanking size instead of the post-blanking size?

Right now I'm using the original BD, stripping both copies of the movie and re-encoding just the extras to 1990gb. Should be fine, except:
SOURCE_SIZE=48822190130
SOURCE_VIDEO_SIZE=48791666688
TARGET_SIZE=2086666240
REDUCTION=.042141269966203

I could work around that since I'm using 'faster encoding' for the extras, but there is one menu video that's getting 2-pass and compressed to 4%.

FYI: 59.94 fps video doesn't exist. 29.97 fps video does. FPS = frames per second, not fields per second.

For 720p (and 4k) it does... but then you wouldn't need to IVTC it.

It would be great! I will test it today. Anyway, half O/U would be better for me because I have a not so big passive 3D TV (will change the TYPE_OF_3D hiddenopt and see the results).

True. But I think HD in terms of 1080. I've never really considered 720 as true HD, just a poor man's high res. :D

But it isn't true that 720p doesn't need IVTC. For example, dramas on the ABC and Fox networks are produced at 23.976p and 2:3 pulldown converted for 720p. In order to get back to the original 23.976p frame rate, IVTC is required.

But, as I said, I prefer 1080 over 720.

I would like to experiment with encoding scripts like this.
Never done it before so if anyone could explain how to add/implement it into BDRB I would be grateful.
Using Blu-ray discs as input.
Would like to make smaller mkv's with audio ac3 640 2 channel, video bitrate around 10 mbps.

Thanks...
Settings like those in that script are not produced by BD-RB normal usage. That's probably the reason why it caused problems for the OP of that script.

However, if you want to experiment with settings at your own risk, you can do so by customizing the x264 command line via the TWEAK_..... option in the .ini, see HIDDENOPTS.TXT and search for the explanations in Changes.txt. But don't complain if your tweaks produce problems and non-playable files!

For .mkv output you have to select in the BD-RB Mode-menu "Alternate Movie-Only Output" and then select one of the proposed .mkv formats. (You could also add some customization in the file "alternate.txt" which is in the MISC folder. See the comments at the beginning of that file.)

If you want full flexibility with any (wild) settings you may better switch to another GUI, or do everything "by hand".
Good luck :p

This seems to be solved in the redfox forum. To get a working copy you´ll ned the original disc or an untouched mountable image.
