BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

This is different. If this was caused by pulldown, audio sync would be off by a *lot*. Since the error is only about a second, this is caused by something else. I'm fairly certain the culprit is audio re-encoding in this case.Not likely... it would take an incredible amount of error in the encoder to just get to the point where a human could perceive it.

If it is off it is much more likely to be something else.

[jdobbs]

Thank you for the quick fix and taking your time to find it. The split works perfectly now on all rates. Donation for you, kind sir :)You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar...

[NightHawkGuy]

the just released new version of BD Rebuilder may also resolve this using DGDecNV and with ivtc disabled. I'm going to try that new version now with my 480i pulldown deleted scenes again.

I just ran a test with the new version of BD rebuilder 0.40.05 using a MPG2 480i with pulldown title to MKV output using DGDecNV and IVTC disabled and now get good audio sync in the output. :)

I see that the change involved was a DGSource() parameter in the AVS file for such titles to process the pulldown flags, where in the previous version the flags were ignored.
That makes it work like with using ffdshow directshow decoding now with IVTC off - excellent!

I was thinking though that since MPG2 480i extras titles are pretty small already relative to the main HD title on blurays, a good new option to have with BD Rebuilder would be to an option that could be selected as a setting to leave the SD titles as is and skip encoding of them - save a little time on full disc builds that have a lot of little SD extras? Kind of like the quick extras option, but even quicker for SD extras titles.

Kind of like the quick extras option, but even quicker for SD extras titles. BD-RB will skip titles if the output is BD-25 -- but it has to reencode for a smaller output, because the maximum bitrate is reduced if writing to a DVD+-R. You'll find a lot of discs in which everything but the main feature is left intact when outputing to BD-25.

Just a repeat: You are still much better off keeping IVTC selected all the tim... when it isn't you are hard telecining. That takes 20% or so more bitrate to get the same quality because of the increased framecount. IVTC is also faster for the same reason.

[AmigaFuture]

I disabled the cropping (not happy about that as I much prefer the borders removed), and now am seeing the split.exe is active AND multiple x264 as I did in 40.02 With Cropping Active. I SHOULD have considered Autocropping but I set and forgot is active since I use it for DVDs (AutoGK). The speed is back, if not a little faster due to the x264 being updated. I'm testing with my Assault on Precinct 13 (the 1970s movie, not the newer). After it has finished, I'll check with The Matrix - Revolutions to "see" if the video glitch is still there. If it is then Autocrop isn't doing it. I hope not.
BD-RB 40.04.

Unfortunately I tried IVTC both with ffdshow directshow decoding and DGDecNV decoding and both cases gives me audio sync issues with MPG2 480i pulldown extra titles, with software players.
But I get good audio sync on those titles with IVTC off.

Perhaps the pulldown 32 item used with IVTC on, with recent versions of x264 isn't supported properly by some players?
Thats also why I'd actually prefer to just keep those small titles in MPG2 format with the original pulldown flags intact, without re-encoding, since all the players I've tried handle MPG2 pulldown ok.

The only way to do it for a BD-25 full disc build for the bluray disc I tested with that has lots of MPG2 480i (most with pulldown, some without) was to use the ini option MIN_M2TS_SIZE and increase it until only the large main movie was listed, a setting of around 1000. With the default setting (100) it was set to encode into AVC almost 40 of the MPG2 480i extras titles, only a very few didn't get listed to encode.

But it would still be nice to have a simpler option to force no encoding of all the 480i extra titles automatically. :)

Not likely... it would take an incredible amount of error in the encoder to just get to the point where a human could perceive it.
If it is off it is much more likely to be something else.
Before starting another job I took a look at the temp files and compared the original AC3 file to the re-encoded one. The latter one was approx. 100 milliseconds longer. And yet the delay I'm seeing/hearing is clearly longer than that.

I keep getting a "Failed to rebuild" error with 0.40.05.

** update
Re-ran the job with 0.40.04 but disabled DGDencNV, LAVF and multiprocessing. Output still has out-of-sync audio. Took the original audio files and used mkvtoolnix to remove re-encoded audio and replaced them with original audio. The resulting file has out-of-sync audio, too. So that was me barking up the wrong tree again :)

** update
Another try with 0.40.05. This time with DGDecNV, LAVF and multiprocessing disabled. Also, disabled 4 of the 5 AC3 tracks because they all had the exact same content. Result: "Failed to REBUILD".

But it would still be nice to have a simpler option to force no encoding of all the 480i extra titles automatically. :) I've also seen players that have problems with pulldown on H.264 sources I'm not sure why. Interestingly I don't think I've ever seen a factory original disc that used it. VC-1, yes, MPEG-2, yes, but not H.264. Usually if there is an issue it manifests as jerky playback. One other option... you can set the hidden option SD_PROGRESSIVE=1. It keeps the SD video that has pulldown at 23.976. That isn't consistent with the BD standard -- but, on the other hand, I've never heard of a player that had trouble playing it. In your case, though, I guess keeping it at 29.97 works just as well.

I am having a problem making a DVD-5 of my "A River Runs Through It" blu-ray. It runs fine through converting subtitles to DVD format, MPLEX runs to 100%, then throws an error message. Ending Log entries follow:
[00:18:22]PHASE ONE complete
[00:18:22]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started
- [00:18:22] Rebuilding stream 00011 [1 of 1]
- [00:18:22] Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure

- [00:19:40] Starting MPLEX.
- ERROR in attempt to mux (MPLEX)
[00:22:02] - Failed to REBUILD

The target hard drive has plenty of space available. I have uninstalled and reinstalled everything related to BD-RB (I think). When I run "Inspect", it indicates "OK" everywhere except for:
- FFDSHOW VC-1 set incorrectly: [1]. It was [0] the first time I ran inspect, so I thought maybe that was an issue and I made a change. What should this entry be?
Any ideas or suggestions to try are welcome and appreciated.

Update: Tried with and without subtitles being included - no change. Ran same source through Clown-BD - it ran fine, the output looks fine.
Update: Ran a couple additional different BD titles to DVD-5 alternate output with 1 audio and 2 subtitles. All ran fine. Output fine.
Apparently there is something specifically about the "River Runs Through It" BD that BD-RB chokes on? Could the Dolby TrueHD lossless audio track on the source be causing a problem?

Info - this problem continues with certain titles. Latest is "Drive". The process fails if I include subtitles in the BD to DVD-5 process. If I do not include subtitles - it works fine. This is using the latest BD-DB version (40.05), freshly installed including ffdshow, etc. I am happy to do more testing & investigation, but some guidance on what to try would be helpful.

Update: I reinstalled the 1st BD-RB version that supported subtitles being output to DVD-5 (version 37.8). I ran the same source BD folders for "Drive" through BD-RB to DVD-5 output. It ran without a problem, the created DVD5 looks fine, both English subtitles are there and look fine. It would appear that BD-RB has a bug which was introduced in an updated version. I am happy to test more, but need direction from jdobbs telling me which version he would like me to test to identify and/or verify which updated version introduced the bug.

I've never had this error going from a BD to DVD-5 before. I'm now trying it with DirectShow

Interesting you'd mention that one. I was just doing some testing and also got it. I'm fixing it right now.

Unfortunately this one happens on all ALTERNATE output... ughhh

I'll post an update as soon as I also find/fix the problem reported by Rich86. You'll probably see it tomorrow morning.

[Rich86]

I'll pick up "Drive" and attempt to do a DVD-5 conversion and see if I can repeat the problem.

Sounds good. The other title that failed for me was "A River Runs Through It", in case you already have that one on blu-ray. Let me know if there is anything I can do to assist.

[jdobbs]

Even if you'd gotten past that point it would have failed due to the other error reported by greslogo above. I can't believe I missed that one -- one of those last minute "it's only cosmetic" changes that became more than "cosmetic" when I misspelled a variable name... :rolleyes:

[greslogo]

I also have Drive but haven't run it through, yet.

[NightHawkGuy]

I've seen some "failed to rebuild" errors too with the recent new versions with some alternate output to MKV builds.
I could however manually use mkvmerge to do the final mux and the result played ok - so it must have had a problem just in the mkvmerge final step.

Might want to also check encoding using one-pass CRF mode with DGDecNV.
That stops during the predictive CRF phase with DGDecNV, but works fine with ffdshow decoding for me.

Oops... I did do drive but that was a few days ago and it was to BD-25, movie only.

Yes - that works fine. "Drive" fails for me when going to DVD-5 alternate output with subtitles included.

I just completed "Drive" to DVD-5 Alternate output -- I did all 3 subtitles and it finished sucessfully. I played it back and the subtitles work.

OK - I am at a loss as to why the latest version fails but the older one works on my system. Any suggestions for further troubleshooting or corrective actions I should take?

[busch42]

I too have a problem with latest versions, Don't know why but when I shrink my first Blu-Ray to a BD25 works fine but everytime I try my next movie it comes up x264.exe has stopped working, It could be something on my computer is changing 1 of the programs BDrebuilder is using, The movie In Time I tried 3 times before I got it to work, Rich86, You might want to try what worked for me after Jdobbs suggestion, I took the x264.exe file in the new version and replaced it with the file from version 03907.

There has been another X264 released since then. Are you saying that one is having issue on your computer too?

[busch42]

Yes, I'm using version 0.40.04. I'm just guessing, Do you think that when I run Blu-Ray Copy with DVDfab that it might be changing something?

[jdobbs]

Yes, I'm using version 0.40.04. I'm just guessing, Do you think that when I run Blu-Ray Copy with DVDfab that it might be changing something? Then I guess that interprets as "No, I'm not using v0.40.05..."

Not sure about DVDFab... I don't use it.

Hi ! I wanted to keep the LPCM audio 4608 kbps but instead, got Dolby Digital audio at 640 kbps. In Settings > Setup, I know I can checked the "Do not convert DTS to AC3 (Blu-Ray only) or Do not reencode AC3 (Blu-Ray only) but I've set a custom size of 24450 Megabytes.

Been struggling on this one.

25gb BD works fine. Alternate output files fail.

Here is the log. Let me know if you need any further info.

@Dofin

Look at the setting "KEEP_HD_LPCM=n" in HIDDENOPTS.TXT. But I would never recommend keeping HD LPCM. It gives no improvement in sound at an incredibly high cost in space...

[jdobbs]

@nozuul

That error has been fixed. You should see a new release that includes it today.

[nozuul]

Thanks for the quick reply!

[Rich86]

I'm not sure... I ran it with the latest version... but it includes the bug-fix for greslogo. Are you using v0.40.5?

Yes - I am running 40.05. That one fails to handle "Drive" output to DVD-5 on my system.
The version that works successfully on my system is 37.8.
This problem showed up prior to version 40.05, however. I haven't experimented with different versions between 37.8 and 40.05 to try to identify where along the way problems began . . yet . .

Thanks ! Where is HIDDENOPTS.TXT ? What number do I put to replace "n". The only thing I've found is this "Currently multi-processing is enabled via a "hidden" switch in the CONFIG/INI file (accessible from the FILE menu). After it has been tested more thoroughly it will be added to the SETUP dialog. For now you must add it to the "[Options]" area of the configuration file like this:"

Does a chart stating what the numbers 0, 1, and so on, exist ?

[jdobbs]

[jdobbs]

Thanks ! Where is HIDDENOPTS.TXT ? What number do I put to replace "n". Have you ever produced a chart stating what the numbers 0, 1, and so on, are ? It's in the BD Rebuilder installation folder. It is an informational file that answers your question. The actual setting goes into the Config/INI file.

There's a good chance that it never got to the point you'd experienced before... try the new release I'll be posting soon and report back.

Thanks

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new version of BD-RB (v0.40.06). Changes for this interim release:- Corrected a bug introduced in v0.40.5 that could
cause movie-only/alternate output to fail during
final multiplexing.
- Corrected a bug related to implementation of
multiprocessing and DGDecNV that could cause
CRF encoding prediction to fail when the
MULTIPROCESS paramater was asserted.
- Corrected an issue with MKV file output. By
default the new MKVMERGE used header compression
that may not be supported by some players. BD-RB
now forces compression to "none" for maximum
player compatibility.[v0.40.5]
- Corrected a issue in which BD-RB may configure
DGDecNV incorrectly for MPEG-2 pulldown video
that is not being IVTC'd. This could in some
cases result in out-of-sync audio/video. [v0.40.5]
- Removed the hidden option FIX_CLPI as well as
the associated code. It was only useful for
old outdated versions of TSMUXER that are no
longer are used.[v0.40.5]
- Put a limit of 4 into the automatic multiprocess
value. This is to help prevent too many instances
caused by hyperthreading "pretending" to be more
processors than it really is.[v0.40.5]
- Corrected an error in which multiprocess splitting
would fail in regions that do not use the same
decimal notation (".") as is used in North America.
[v0.40.5]
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I downloaded and installed 40.06 over my previous 40.05 folder. I launched it, it referenced the source folder, offered to restart from where it failed, and this time it ran to conclusion successfully. It looks like I have a DVD version of my BD. Thanks very much for 40.06!!

Could you please tell me if bd rebuilder works on 3D movies? Do I need to select the complete movie backup option to make this work? I noticed on some 3d movies there are two versions on them a 2d and a 3d version. On your playlist are these option identified?

[colinhunt]

Nope.

I noticed on some 3d movies there are two versions on them a 2d and a 3d version. On your playlist are these option identified? Currently there is no freeware MVC encoder available -- and even if there was, there is no method to burn in a way that sectors can be referenced by more-than-one file (as is needed by BD-3D).

[Ch3vr0n]

well it works and it doesnt work. BD-RB can "read" 3D discs but it cannot shrink them. If the disc is a 2D & 3D version disc, then you CAN create a 2D only backup with BDRB. BDRB ignores the SSIF folder that contains the 3D data. Your backup will be 2D only but the menu itself will still also list the 3D option, however it will not work.

[colinhunt]

Malcolm X "Deleted Scenes" to MKV with 0.40.06, DGDecNV/LAVF/multiprocessing disabled: audio sync is still ~1 second late by the end of the video. But rebuild no longer fails, so that's good.

[Dofin]

It's in the BD Rebuilder installation folder. It is an informational file that answers your question. The actual setting goes into the Config/INI file.

What a basic question to be asked :stupid: but I would have never thought to look in the installation folder. I am sorry !
One more question, I hope. In HIDDENOPTS.TXT, I've found "KEEP_HD_LPCM=n where n = 0/1 - Default=1, When set to "0", BD-RB reencodes LPCM even for "Keep HD Audio", so I will paste "KEEP_HD_LPCM=1" inserting it in config file, between any lines ? Thank so much.

[busch42]

Thanks jdobbs, I will try the new version on the blu-ray movie THE RUM DIARY tomorrow when I pick it up at wal-mart.
