BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[A.Fenderson]

BD-RB is still randomly refusing to continue an incomplete rebuild for me. My system BSODed, I rebooted, opened BD-RB, clicked Backup, and it allowed me to resume. My system later BSODed again while encoding the same segment that it was encoding the first time my system crashed, but after this reboot, it's now only allowing me the option to delete the contents of the working directory. I didn't change anything either time, just rebooted, relaunched the app, and clicked "Backup."

Thanks.

@A.Fenderson

If you're getting a BDOD, it is definitely a problem with your system. The fact that it is "random" is pretty much proof of that.

[jdobbs]

@ jdobbs

Yes, I chose the Theatrical version:
Playlist 00001 -- Playlength: 01:34:00 - [048 Chapters].

And the Director's Cut version:
Playlist 00007 -- Playlength: 01:39:44 - [049 Chapters].

Both had the same sync issues. Hmm... that's even worse. I just went to look at my copy -- and there is no "Director's Cut". So I went to Amazon, and I can't even find one with it.

@omegaman7: RE:I hear you. I really do LOL! My lite-on is guilty of a few bad rips.

I have recently done the BBC Life series ( the David Attenborough one, not Oprah's ) and on Disk 3, Episode 6 Insects, Chapter 5, there is a scene where one of the Dawson's bee's are coming out of the ground that is really a mess. It is specifically at 39:39 and 39:40 and lasts for about 40 frames, it is a blocky mess of little squares, and is not in the original or in the rip, that I did, and redid. It has shown up no matter if I do it as automatic quality, or even as highest quality 2 pass. I have finally given up and accepted that it is just a hiccup while being encoded and left it alone but wondered if anyone else has seen this problem either on this disk or others?

On another note, you really have to love Sandy Bridge, doing a 2 hour movie in high quality default 2 pass in under 3 hours! WOW! Who cares if it runs hot as a firecracker, even 98 degrees sometimes. I have noticed that when it is on the 1'st pass that it maxes out around 65 fps but the cores are not maxed and are only running ariund 30 percent. Is there a limit to how fast x264 can go or is the bottleneck in the hardrives and bus speeds? I have wondered about going all SSD, even for the output folder not just for the source. It does max out the cores on 2'nd pass, at around 20 fps.

[KillingTime]

Heartbreak Ridge got delivered yesterday (I ordered it online), but I haven't run it yet. There shouldn't be errors reading -- as the reading software should pick that up via CRC errors. I've never had any issues of that type with AnyDVD HD.

Also, the post in your link doesn't contain the INI file. That is the LOG and the INF file. The INI is called BDREBUILDER.INI and is located in the installation folder. It contains all the saved settings.

Found it. My mistake.

I'm ripping from an LG burner BH10LS30, and it gets good reviews. The source disc is semi-transparent.

[jdobbs]

Found it. My mistake.

...

I'm ripping from an LG burner BH10LS30, and it gets good reviews. The source disc is semi-transparent. So it's working now?

[omegaman7]

I Knew it! Those transparent discs are a total buzz kill. I remember the first one I ever dealt with. "Broken arrow". It was soo transparent, it was almost like glass. Pretty stupid if you ask me. Clearly they haven't learned, since at least 1 out of 5 are at least semi-transparent. Ok, I'll shut up about this now.

@Worknstiff, Harddrives are hardly a bottleneck for such an intensive process(Fragmentation COULD slow it slightly though). I seriously doubt that any single processor can encode fast enough to saturate a hard drives bandwidth(Who knows what the industry has at their disposal though). Cloud computing...that's a different story.

[worknstiff]

@ omegaman7, RE: Harddrives are hardly a bottleneck for such an intensive process

Looking at this from purely a theoretical hypothesis, since I have not even a vague idea what x264 is doing in either pass, is that if pass1 is only reading the frames and if pass2 is actually writing the frames, then it stands to reason the writing is slower since pass1 is doing 60fps and pass2 is only 20fps with all 4 cores running 100%. There must be a reason that pass2 is so much more cpu intensive and still is slower by about 40fps. thanks for your input, worknstiff

[omegaman7]

I don't understand the coding of X264 myself. But it is logical to assume, an SSD has lower latency, so you would likely see at least a slight improvement. But I'd wager it wouldn't be much. The CPU is being worked like a dog with the X264 process. It takes a lot of horsepower/resources. THat's just the easiest way to explain it. Even reading a 1920 x 1080 frame takes some processing horse power ;) So a faster hard drive would probably not speed this up.

[jdobbs]

I'm pretty sure the reason you aren't hitting 100% on pass one is because X264's settings are less challenging and it is encoding faster than the frames are being presented to it. That would indicate the combination of FFDSHOW, AVISYNTH, HAALI and the harddrive are the bottleneck. You'll also find that the processor will run under 100% on pass 2 for some very powerful processors.

[worknstiff]

@jdobbs, RE:X264's settings are less challenging and it is encoding faster than the frames are being presented to it.

Thanks for the input from the person in charge that should know if anyone here does, lol. I was just wondering why such a big difference between pass1 and pass2 unless it's because it is actually writing the data to the HD instead of just examining the data. I thought maybe that accounts for the 40 fps difference, and maybe a intel X25 SSD would help close the gap between pass 1 and 2, but I am still really pleased with 20 fps in pass2. I was getting around 5 fps in pass2 with my old E8400.

[omegaman7]

Keep in mind, that the amount of compression will greatly effect how many FPS you'll see. If you have over 4hrs to compress, that's gonna take some time. 3+ hrs seems to be pretty common I've noticed. If you're converting only the main title, that's gonna take considerably less time. Myself, I prefer to keep as much intact as possible :D

[had-z]

A perfect backup of Black Hawk Down done with the latest build!! many thanks jdobbs seems like the IGS problem is 100% fixed, now the only major issue is the DTS-E Mux...

Cheers!

[KillingTime]

So it's working now?

No, I meant I've found the .ini fiile from the re-encode I did, my mistake was to give you the log file first time round.

All the errors I've had so far have been with those transparent discs though. I think it has more to do with your optical drive design than anything else. Remember the silliness with DVDs when the distributors wanted to stop home ripping? They made DVDs that did not conform to Philips spec, that would play in most set top players, but not in computer drives. This could be the start of something similar, but I have no proof.

The rip and rebuild of your copy will put this issue to bed. At exactly 20 muinutes into the film, there's a scene where the new CO is telling Eastwood he's obsolete, and you get a close up of the actors faces. It's asy to spot audio lag here.

I ran "Heartbreak Ridge" yesterday -- no issues here. Just to be sure I just reviewed the scene you mentioned. I wanted to punch the CO ;), but the sound was in perfect sync.

@jdobbs here is the log you asked me to post. Encoded twice, one came out 11GB in size, and the other 7GB. It def seems like it's re-encoding the main movie so i'm not sure what's causing it to be so undersized.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance. I'm looking at your log and the main feature is encoded at a bitrate of 23,952 Kbs. I also see that you are keep HD audio. A guess mght be that you are hitting the maximum combined bitrate. But that should add up to almost 16GB for the video alone...

Are you using all the exact versions that are linked in the first post of this thread?

[[SLiM]D12]

@jdobbs

Ok let me try to change to 640 kbps and see what happens. Will post back with results.

Just curious, not related to the suspect undersize, but the top of the log says:
- Quality: High Quality (Default), Two Pass
The only file reencoded with 2-pass is the last one, with all the rest 1-pass. :confused:

D12;1503043']@jdobbs

Lowering the audio to 640kbps will not increase the file size, but perhaps lower it. The suggestion is that the video bitrate is already very high, so giving the video more space by lowering the audio will not increase the file size since it is already maxed out. :)

But if I make the audio small enough, it can leave the video untouched and thus make it closer to the 25GB size I desire.

[Edit] Picked it up, will run tonight. Glad to find out this movie is now available in Blu-Ray -- one of my favorites.

Also, I noticed that VID_00106 (13 of 14) reencodes 66,135 frames in 3.1/2 minutes, or approx 300fps. That seems pretty fast.


@[slim]D12: Try turning OFF the option that clears the WORKFILES folder after the process completes, so you can see what actual files are used to create the BD file structure (and how big they are). Also, until you get this figured out, perhaps you should remove ImgBurn as a variable, and just evaluate the contents of the recreated BD folders.

300fps isn't unusual for a 720x480 stream. I get around 360fps on my dedicated video computer.

Am I missing something obvious?Yes, you are:


- Source Video: VC-1, 1920x1080

- FFDSHOW VC-1 set incorrectly: [1]

[empty1]

OK, I am confused. Isn't 1080p = 1920x1080? What settings should be set in ffdshow for VC1?

[ceet12]

just updated to the latest version of bd rebuilder, i am tryin to convert salt (i now this is cinivia protected), to a bd25 backup on the options setting i have set encoder to highest (very slow)

the problem im having is about 30% through i get the error x264 has stopped working?

anyone no why this is doing it?

also the main problem that geeting to me is this

i was prompted with a dialogue box when running bdrebuilder from ffdshow about what to selct or something it said ffdshow "choose dont use now, or always, etc" so i chose no, however apparently on reading up i should have chose yes, how can i get the dialogue box to appear again so i can choose yes??

i have looked in the setiing briefly and found something different in ffdshow, but i can not find the exact popup i had

i also got the same popup when i loaded a audio cue file through imgburn

Any Help appreciated?

Most probable causes:

1. You have the wrong version of FFDSHOW, HAALI, or AVISYNTH installed. My testing has shown that using the latest version of FFDSHOW definitely causes this error.

2. Your system is unstable. If you are overclocked, slow it down a little.

[jdobbs]

OK, I am confused. Isn't 1080p = 1920x1080? What settings should be set in ffdshow for VC1? I have no idea what you are are trying to say in this post. It has nothing to do with the solution to your problem that setarip_old pointed out. If you follow the instructions in the first post of this thread (step 8) it will solve your problem.

More specifically:

1. Click on the windows/start icon.
2. Select "FFDSHOW" from "All Programs"
3. Select "Video Decoder Configuration"
4. Set the VC-1 decoder (under CODECs) to "wmv9"

[empty1]

Sorry, didn't mean to be a pain. What is weird is that everything was working and suddenly things changed. I had not reinstalled anything but the latest version of BD-RB and apparently the FFDSHOW settings got messed with. I ONLY use this machine for ripping and can't imagine what would have changed the settings. Are there other programs that would mess with FFDSHOW settings without my knowing it????

[Ch3vr0n]

yes, if u use any codec pack. ANY at all, uninstall em. You don't need em

Sometimes other software packages will do things without telling you. It's safe to say that either something changed it -- or this is the first VC-1 source you've tried (unlikely).

and i have read that it should be set to yes always (ffdshow)

how can i do this?

@ jdobbs

Yes, I chose the Theatrical version:
Playlist 00001 -- Playlength: 01:34:00 - [048 Chapters].

And the Director's Cut version:
Playlist 00007 -- Playlength: 01:39:44 - [049 Chapters].

Both had the same sync issues.

@steveg32 and others who have reported sync issues on DVD-5/9 output.


I think I've found a connection. On my test computer I had upgraded to AVISYNTH v2.58 some time ago so I can certify it as the recommended version. When I removed it and reinstalled v2.57 (the currrent recommendation) I was able to repeat the sync issue on certain discs. When I reinstall v2.58, the problem is solved.

So, though it is still not completely clear why, it appears that the DVD-5/9 audio synchronization problem is linked to using the combination of HC Encoder and AVISYNTH 2.57.

Since I have been running v2.58 for some time now, I am confident it is safe to use and I have now updated the first link of this thread so that it now links to that version.

@steveg32

Can you please download and install this version of AVISYNTH (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/Avisynth_258.exe) and report if it corrects your issue?

Thanks.

Got some news you might be interested in too jdobbs. You know about my HP5 that kept crashing on VID_00033 ? Well with 2.58 it DIDNT when it hit the actual encoding phase, though it did leave an mkv file along with the m2ts file in the workfiles dir.

I think the problem is that the message sais at some point "... secondairy video stream". However when you take a look at the properties for vid_00033 there IS no secondary video stream. VID_00002 also had the non-existant secondairy stream but it was mentioned during the encoding process. Maybe thats the reason 2.57 crashed.

http://img811.imageshack.us/img811/1208/vid00033.jpg


I'll let you know about the final outcome

Also there are 14 audio streams present, stream 13 is being flagged as "undetermined". This may be because of stream 8. 8 is often incorrectly flagged as english (on the main m2ts though its correctly identified as dutch). Stream 13 however is also dutch but flemish (belgian) to be exact. Maybe add another language option ?

I also couldnt help but notice that x264-64 didnt get called on VC-1 streams, a bug or is x264 incapable of doing vc1 in 64bit with the LAFV.

UPDATE 1:
Encode was aborted and restarted from scratch to make sure it wasnt a fluke, VID_00033 was successfully encoded again with AVS 2.58 and multiplexed back. So far its going good.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new release of BD-RB (v0.38.03). Changes for this version:- Corrected an error in which .CHP files could be
created and never removed in the destination
folder while previewing streams.
- Fixed an issue in subtitle end-times related to
previously resized (via TSMUXER) subtitles.
- Changed the default setting for B_PYRAMID (see
HIDDENOPTS.TXT) to disabled. While it should
be supported per standard, at least two standalone
players appear to have difficulty with b-frame
references.
- Corrected level settings associated with 720x480
or 576 secondary video streams.
- Added code to prevent redundant reencoding of
secondary video streams when resuming after the
encoding has previously been completed.
- Changed the recommended version of AVISYNTH to
v2.58. This should solve reported audio sync
issues on ALTERNATE DVD-5/9 output that can
occur on certain discs. AVISYNTH v2.58 can be
downloaded from here:
http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/Avisynth_258.exe
(http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/Avisynth_258.exe)- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

All Users,

Please note that the recommended version of AVISYNTH has changed. All users are advised to update to v2.5.8.0. A link to that version is included in the first post of this thread.

This may be off-topic for this forum, but here goes:

Is there any way to force BD-Rebuilder to keep HD-Audio on
a BD9 encode? According to the following excerpt:

If doing BD-5 or BD-9:

1. Default (all audio options unchecked)
---- All audio is converted to DD AC3. Bitrate is 640Kbs for 5.1 and 224Kbs for 2.0.
---- All 7.1 sources are down-converted to 5.1

1.1 448Kbs selected -- 5.1 = 448Kbs, 2.0 = 224Kbs
1.2 192Kbs selected, all sources down-converted to 2.0 @ 192Kbs

2. "Do not convert DTS" checked and full-backup, or movie-only and "Strict AVCHD" is not checked: When the source is DTS, the DTS core is extracted and used intact (bit-for-bit).

3. "Do not reencode AC3" checked and full-backup, or movie-only and "Strict AVCHD" is not checked: When the source is Dolby, the Dolby core is extracted and used intact.

4. LPCM is always converted to AC3.

5. Keep HD is always ignored.

6. Setting "OVERRIDE_AVCHD_AUDIO_LIMIT=1" in the INI will allow strict AVCHD to also use DTS.

and I was wondering if there is perhaps a hidden setting that can be turned on to allow HD-Audio
on a BD-9 level. If not, what would the minimum custom
size that would allow HD-Audio to be kept intact?

Thanks! :thanks:
