BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[zargana]

Can you post the contents of the MUX_00004.meta file? You should be able to just cut & paste it into a post here. I went through the code and can see no way what you posted can happen??? PiP maybe?

Here it is
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500 --start-time=27000000
V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC, "D:\WORK\WORKFILES\00004.track_4113.hevc", fps=23.976, contSPS
V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC, "D:\WORK\WORKFILES\00004.track_4117.mpv", fps=23.976, secondary, contSPS
If you check the screenshot on my previous post there is no PiP.

I don't do my jobs using BD/50, as those discs are more expensive than BD/25s. Even though the discs that I buy are rated for 6x, IMGBurn sometimes sees them being able to do 8x (depends on the brand). I don't do any faster than 6x.

The BD/REs just keep on ticking.

They are. That's...why I only buy few of them...and I want them to last with the burner. I would be cool with 2x burns IF they were stable almost or / constantly. With current burner they aren't..except with BD-RE-25s. I don't always want to rerender an archived BD...every time I want to see it. :)

Anyway, choice is becoming very, very clear...Pioneer and I'm close to picking one.

[AmigaFuture]

Not much information to go with.

1. Are you playing it from BD or ALTERNATE source?
2. How did you merge the SRT with the original source?
3. Was the original source a BD or some other format?
4. If from other format -- was it imported with BD-RB?

A log can go a long way in helping...

Have you considered writing a Web Script for particular replies?

Hehe! Kidding, don't go into a diatribe on my account. Wink!

If you check the screenshot on my previous post there is no PiP.Ahh... found it. Yes, there was a secondary track... but apparently I did a cut-and-paste of the line when I added HEVC support, and never changed the ".mpv" extension to ".hevc"

I guess I just never did any UHD tests in which there was a secondary track.

[jdobbs]

I am waiting anxiously the fixed version..got lots of UHDs to process with.
My Threadripper is hungry you know..:pUnderstood. But, just a point to remember -- BD-RB isn't ready for primetime if your intent is to reencode during your processing. I'm still working on some X265/TSMUXER issues.

If, though, you are not reencoding (as in your example post) you should be ok.

[zargana]

Understood. But, just a point to remember -- BD-RB isn't ready for primetime if your intent is to reencode during your processing. I'm still working on some X265/TSMUXER issues.

If, though, you are not reencoding (as in your example post) you should be ok.

I think the remuxing is the main issue not the encoding. On the source i gave you in the pm when i set to the bd-rebuilder target size BD 50 and needed to reencode, it did fine, where it failed was the remuxing after encoded the first title of structure.

[jdobbs]

On the source i gave you in the pm when i set to the bd-rebuilder target size BD 50 and needed to reencode, it did fine, where it failed was the remuxing after encoded the first title of structure.Something weird going on here. The stream of the example you gave has another video stream included in it with a PID of 4117. That is an illegal PID based on the spec I have (which doesn't have UHD updates). That PID falls between the PID range used for MVC dependent tracks and the PID range used for PGS. Secondary streams normally start at PID 6912 (0x1B00) -- so that doesn't seem to fit (unless they've created a special PID for HEVC secondaries).

I looked at the extracted stream and while it is apparently HEVC (according to its TYPE flag), it looks like nothing but a blank green screen... so I'm confused as to what it represents.

If anyone has any information as to what this PID represents, I'd be interested to hear from you.

[sneaker_ger]

Dolby Vision?

[jdobbs]

Dolby Vision?It's a 1080p HEVC video stream that is the same length (in time) as the primary stream (which is 2160p) -- but it's nothing but a blank (green) screen. The primary video of that M2TS is nothing but one of the pop-up "Warning" screens. It's the same for other pop-ups (different languages) ... but that PID doesn't exist in the main feature.

I really wish I had a copy of the new UHD-BD spec... things would be so much easier. All this dumping and guessing gets old after a while.

[sneaker_ger]

Sounds like Dolby Vision extra layer to me. That's how it works on Blu-Ray.

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=174563Nice. I'd actually thought about writing a program to do essentially the same thing. Good to know someone else already did!

[omegaman7]

JD, do you ever run backups to DVD-5 format? Because with the new version, it could be broken. I've attempted MKV to DVD, Blu-ray .iso to DVD, and the encoder crashes before it can even begin(I think the time stamp is relative to closing the encoder error window).

When it first occurred, I ran another movie to be sure I wasn't dealing with a corrupt stream. Same error occurred. But when I reverted to BD-Rebuilder version 5025 the job completed without a glitch.

The reason I still have that version, is I've been using it for quite some time without issue. But realized you have advanced the program substantially, and that I needed to update.

I'll run a DVD-5 output test later today. The odd thing is that it appears HC Encoder is crashing. Both of the versions you mention are using the same version of HC Encoder.

@omegaman7

I'll run a DVD-5 output test later today. The odd thing is that it appears HC Encoder is crashing. Both of the versions you mention are using the same version of HC Encoder.Hmmm... it looks like somehow the HCENCODER.EXE file in the tools folder has become corrupted. I just did a binary compare with an earlier release and it shows it has changed.

Copy HCENCODER.EXE from the tools folder of your previous version into the new one and it should be ok. Meanwhile I'm going to check other files as well to see if anything else was corrupted. I had a hard drive go bad a couple months back.... but when I recovered a backup to a new drive all seemed well. Maybe that wasn't the case for that file at least.

[Edit] I did a binary compare of all the other files in the tools folder -- it appears that one is the only one that doesn't match. I'm not sure how that could have happened -- but it obviously did.

[omegaman7]

Sweet!

I've seen a few corrupted files myself recently. I think a "Lexar" flash drive is suspect lol

[AmigaFuture]

I have the BDR-209D in the Win7 box. Go for the latest model in that series.

Yessir...that's what I have in my list. Checking at store today..

Sweet!

This is also part of the reason I keep the last Beta of HCEncoder in an archive, and always rename the one that comes with BD-RB to disable it. The beta is a little nicer and quicker and support multitasking better. At least those where the tests from years ago...that I did. When I was using it a lot.

[MrVideo]

Not only cheaper, but only found Online. Not a fan of Amazon only, or Online only... I still prefer face to face interactions..which is becoming dead. The day I almost only interact with Devices/Cell phone is when I really wonder WTF? That's becoming more and more..

Drive ordered.

[frank]

Please update FRIM to latest version v.1.29. Now it is stable in HW mode!
Edit MVENCODE.BAT
...FRIMDecode.exe -i::mvc "INPUT.m2ts"
to

Tested on Dell 9560, Kaby Lake.

[Ch3vr0n]

You can do that yourself in the meantime. Just download it and replace the existing ones. It's only if you encounter issues, jdobbs will say no-no cause they're not the recommended versions yet.

[AmigaFuture]

I normally do Ebay.

I rarely use eBay. Prices are usually high, and bidding goes a lot higher than it should for many items. For rare or "older" items I times use it....at times. The on-the-way drive should be good. If it is, I'll check eBay to see if it's lower priced because it's always good to have a backup that's also in great shape. But I also don't want used. Again, appreciate the help, all. Yay!

@Anyone who knows X265 better than me

Can someone tell me why when I set --level-idc 5.1 and try to set --high-tier in X265 it doesn't work (the encoder tells me it is "5.1 Main Tier")??? I can set the level to 5.0 and it accepts high tier but not 5.1...

The UHD spec (at least the UHD White Paper) requires Level 5.1 and High Tier.

[sneaker_ger]

Do you have --uhd-bd set? Are you using --bitrate in range allowed in main tier (<=40,000)? Do you have --no-high-tier set as well (accidentally)?

[jdobbs]

Do you have --uhd-bd set? Are you using --bitrate in range allowed in main tier (<=40,000)? Do you have --no-high-tier set as well (accidentally)?No. I don't have --uhd-bd set. I've found that I cannot create a working UHD structure if I have it set. It forces --no-open-gop on when it is set (even though the White Paper says UHD accepts open GOPs)... and if I run a UHD encode through TSMUXER without open GOPs the audio sync goes way out. I have no idea why. So I manually set all the other options enabled by "--uhd-bd"

In this particular encode I was using a CRF setting rather than bitrate. The VBV-MAXRATE happens to be below the maximum bitrate for Level 5.1/High-Tier -- does that make it adjust down?

No. I don't have --no-high-tier set.

[jdobbs]

No. I don't have --no-high-tier set.Yeah... if I set the vbv maximum bitrate higher than 40Mbs, X265 does enable high tier. So that was it. Too bad... I was hoping that might be a source of some issues I was experiencing. Ok... back to banging my head against the wall.

Thanks, sneaker_ger, I appreciate your help.

[sneaker_ger]

You mean below maximum for main tier? Yes, that seems to be the case.

I guess it's not possible without --uhd-bd.


About open-gop: I wouldn't just assume x265's open-gop is allowed on Blu-Ray. There are different styles of doing it and my guess is the x265 devs deactivated it for --uhd-bd because their way is not compatible with the Blu-Ray specs. x264 changes its open-gop style somehow when you activate --bluray-compat IIRC.
(I have never read any actual explanation by the x265 devs so this is simply my guess.)

(I have never read any actual explanation by the x265 devs so this is simply my guess.) I've been using HEVCBrowser to look at original HEVC streams and comparing them to those created by X265 to try and put my finger on what is different. TSMUXER can mux the originals with no issues... but those I've created with X265 always have some type of issue. The latest is stuttering when you get later into a film.

Unfortunately setting --uhd-bd isn't an option right now -- because TSMUXER just won't mux it without huge audio desync (it gets way out of sync withing a few minutes of the start of a film) when --no-open-gop is set. I even dumped out all the PTS values for the audio and the video and compared them to the original... all were fine. Color me confused.

Interestingly, I can fix the stutter by encoding the movie in 15 minute segments and using TSMUXER to combine them. But then it seems to have issues at the joins and the audio goes out of sync again. The same happens if I manually join the segments together and run that through TSMUXER. If I join the segments together with MKVMERGE into an MKV -- the sync is fine, so it isn't frame counts or anything like that.

I also found I could make the stutter delay further into the film by setting --slices 4 -- but it still starts well within an hour or so. Again... the original HEVC files have no issues at all -- some of them have up to 8 slices and others only 1 and it seems to mux and play back fine.

It's frustrating as hell. Every time I try to fix something a new issue shows up.

[zargana]

It's frustrating as hell. Every time I try to fix something a new issue shows up.

Would be nice if you can give us a version to fix remuxing issues to edit UHD with no need of reencoding.
Just to be able to remove unwanted languages/subs to make the new UHD smaller size, compared to original source to be able to burn them on BD-50.

Just to be able to remove unwanted languages/subs to make the new UHD smaller size, compared to original source to be able to burn them on BD-50.Yeah... but even for that I have to add support for Dolby Vision... and that's not nearly as easy as you might think. TSMUXER doesn't have support for something like that.

[Acerjen]

Yeah... but even for that I have to add support for Dolby Vision... and that's not nearly as easy as you might think. TSMUXER doesn't have support for something like that.

I am 100% sure you have already thought of this........but with your programming expertise, why not make your own muxer, especially since tsmuxer is no longer updated? Or is that far more involved and difficult than I realize? Just a suggestion. I do appreciate your time and program.....use it every day. Thanks.

Hi, I just tested BD Rebuilder for UHD.
And I have a problem with the video.
The video jumps all the time and create a delay in audio.
As we change FPS.
I try TsMuxer only, and he's the culprit. (tested on PC and Bluray player)
Am I the only one ?

I don't think Roman will come back to create a new version of TsMuxer.
Would not it be easier to create a new muxer?

I had started making one before it corrects 3D. But I dropped because he had made his.

If only we had the source code.

But, honestly, I don't think the issue is TSMUXER. If I use the original HEVC file from a disc, without reencoding, TSMUXER will mux it correctly, and all I have to do is go back and make some changes to update it to UHD-BD format (type codes, extensions, versions, etc.). When I put that in my Sony UHD-BD player, it plays back flawlessly.

I think the issue is X265, or at least every setting assortment that I've tried with X265. I have yet to find a configuration that doesn't have some issue when it is muxed. Now, to be fair, an HEVC file created with X265 will work fine when muxed with MKVMERGE -- but the UHD-BD standard's requirements don't exist when you do that, so it's kind of apples and oranges.

[LowDead]

Maybe use x265 for alternative mkv output and try hardware encoding for UHD BD, like NVENC, QuickSync and/or APP? Sure, one would lose some quality but would instead gain speed. This is the road the others have taken and it works for them.. I have no clue whatsoever though how much work would be needed to implement this.

I'd have to spend money on a nvidia card that supports NVENC/HEVC, though. Are there any cheap ones? I'm not sure what processor I'd have to have in order to support QuickSync... right now the only Intel processor I have in use is an i5.

For Nvidia card... see https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-decode-gpu-support-matrix

It appears any GTX 10x0 card will work for NVENC, but for NVDEC it appears RTX 20x0 adds VP8 and will be getting support for H.265 (HEVC) 4:4:4 (8/10/12bit) "soon"

Has anyone found a chart that compares speed and quality between GTX10x0 and RTX20x0 cards? I've only seen what Nvidia said about RTX on their developer blog (https://devblogs.nvidia.com/nvidia-turing-architecture-in-depth/)... Turing’s new display engine supports HDR processing natively in the display pipeline. Tone mapping has also been added to the HDR pipeline. Tone mapping is a technique used to approximate the look of high dynamic range images on standard dynamic range displays. Turing supports the tone mapping formula defined by the ITU-R Recommendation BT.2100 standard to avoid color shift on different HDR displays.

Turing GPUs also ship with an enhanced NVENC encoder unit that adds support for H.265 (HEVC) 8K encode at 30 fps. The new NVENC encoder provides up to 25% bitrate savings for HEVC and up to 15% bitrate savings for H.264.

Turing’s new NVDEC decoder has also been updated to support decoding of HEVC YUV444 10/12b HDR at 30 fps, H.264 8K, and VP9 10/12b HDR.

Turing improves encoding quality compared to prior generation Pascal GPUs and compared to software encoders. Figure 11 shows that on common Twitch and YouTube streaming settings, Turing’s video encoder exceeds the quality of the x264 software-based encoder using the fast encode settings, with dramatically lower CPU utilization. 4K streaming is too heavy a workload for encoding on typical CPU setups, but Turing’s encoder makes 4K streaming possible.I've not seen any tests or reporting to validate these claims.

As for Quicksync, there is a list of processors that support QuickSync here -> https://ark.intel.com/Search/FeatureFilter?productType=processors&QuickSyncVideo=true but it doesn't have an easy way of knowing any other details..

[Ch3vr0n]

Yeah. That may be the way to go. I'd have to spend money on a nvidia card that supports NVENC/HEVC, though. Are there any cheap ones? I'm not sure what processor I'd have to have in order to support QuickSync... right now the only Intel processor I have in use is an i5.

Any Now that the RTX 20xx series is released, the 10xx series should start dropping in price. That said, just about ANY 10xx series can do HEVC encoding. Though i wouldnt go anything lower than a 1070 for that. I'd wait at least until black friday, or if you could hold off, until january. Then the 20xx series should really be in stock in general, and prices should drop even lower.

[zamengo]

I think NVENC not the best way.

There's a bug cause wrong resolution:

I only have a 1060 3GB card and it works great encoding HEVC. Great quality full disc in 30-60minutes with occasional encodes at 90 minutes.

So I'd appreciate it if you'd just stop hounding me about something that can't happen.

[jdobbs]

I only have a 1060 3GB card and it works great encoding HEVC. Great quality full disc in 30-60minutes with occasional encodes at 90 minutes.Thanks. The downside of using anything other than X265, of course, is that then it would only work for those who spend a lot on NVidia cards, or those that spend a lot on a compliant Intel processor.

I'd prefer to stick with X265, but if I can't find a solution in the near future I may be forced to dump it. Too bad. It's really good software that just seems to be incapable of outputting a UHD-BD compliant stream. I would seem to me that they would make that a priority considering the number of UHD-BDs being produced out there.

[Edit] I just looked at the pricing of NVidia cards in the GTX 1060/1070 category... the price is ridiculous, that ain't happening any time soon. I'd rather park the software without UHD support than pay that much and force my user base to do the same.

No need to get such expensive card. I have a cheap 1050 GTX 2GB and Dvdfab takes about an hour to compress UHD sources to BD-50.
Not good quality though even with slower compression. No option to remove unwanted streams to save space for video quality.

Okay Boss... But, just so I understand (so that I don't get vaporized...) You can't just simply make up an anybody gmail account like everyone else (for example JDRox@gmail) where just anyone for any reason what so ever can send money that 'officially' has absolutely NOTHING to do with BDRB...??? Isn't it fully anonymous enough where ANYONE can do that where friend 'A' can send money to friend 'B'...? Truly I cannot understand why you can't do that (thus my continuously harping on it :))

[Lathe]

Oh, just another thought... :) Why not simply set up some random gmail or email account for your wife and just 'tell' us here on the message boards what it is so that we know? You don't have to 'officially' attach it to BDRB, it will just be your wife. That way we can always very easily just 'send money' to that address 'friend to friend' Why in the name of all that is Holy can't you do that...? I'm try'n to help you here man... http://lathe-of-heaven.com/yes.gif

I REALLY would just like to be able to shoot some money over to some e'mail address so that you can get it when I happen to have it. Like, "Oh, I have an extra $20, I think that I'll just shoot it over to JD at 'IwishIhadaBiggerxxx@gmail.com'?", DONE! It would be SO much easier and I just about can guarantee that more people will send you money if they can do it that easily. For some odd reason, I just don't like the Amazon thing, IDK why... If there is honestly some good reason you can't do that, could you please tell me so that I will understand and stop bothering you...? Thanks!

You are forgetting that the user needs to supply bank account info in order to get the money from/to the PayPal account. While the old PayPal account won't be active, PayPal will keep records and will look up bank info to determine if a user is trying to play that trick.

I'd rather park the software without UHD support than pay that much and force my user base to do the same.GTX1050 cards will work and can be had for as low as $160 for a 2GB card.

There are some deals on GTX1060 6gig cards, like BB has an EVGA GTX1060 SSC 6GB card for $280 (sale, regular price has ranged between $340-370 range). But GTX1060 3GB non-OC cards can be as low as $240 regularly.

Its still a lot, if you are otherwise not in need of upgrading, or if these cards aren't as "fast" as your current card for "day to day" work.

BUT you have to keep in mind, which you already alluded to... There is NVENC, QS and even an AMD variant if you decide to look at it... so woudln't BD-RB get more complex to manage? You'd have to build routines for each of the 3 variants, add a method for selecting the method, etc. No to mention debugging... having to be sure the user tells you if they are using NVENC, QS, AMD, or software when it fails... I mean sure you could pick one (that works with what hardware you already have) and add that first... and go from there, but still...

Is that getting beyond the scope of BD-RB?

I'm with you. I was hoping the 2000 series would drive costs down. But their improvement was marginally better, unfortunately.

I'm still sporting a GTX 570 lol. I've been told a 1050 would be a fair upgrade for me. But I'm afraid it may not handle GTA V @ 4k well enough. I believe a 1070 ti would give me 2+ years of contentment. I've seen a few under $400. Strongly considering black friday purchases of a monitor, and GPU. I'm a tight wad... we'll see if something tempts me lol

I mean, it doesn't impact Alt-Movie Only to MKV does it?No. Alt-Movie-Only is fine. The only problem is when you try to create a UHD-BD structure and play it back on a UHD-BD player.

Interestingly, you can output to an MKV and play it back on a UHD player that supports an MKV just fine (since an MKV file doesn't have to be UHD-BD compliant). So the issue is (apparently) just getting X265 to create a compliant stream.

Personal receipt of money does not require SSN or FEIN.

Are you running lower than 90% processor utilization?

There are a lot of hidden options to rerender video, to change video, but I don't see anything for changing BD menu(s) that have 4:3 set when 16:9 should be. I got a hold of a compilation BD, and the movies are fine in 16:9, if I play the .TS files (or convert them to MKV from BD-RB). MPC-HC plays them as should be. But through PDVD 12 and Player, naaaah. Every video "displays" as 4:3 until the menu. Which is 16:9. Pick a movie, and menu for it is displayed with an clip from the movie. In 4:3 with Subtitles On/Off, or back to menu...a cheap menu. Pick Play and the movie starts..in 4:3. For PDVD 12 I have to change "Keep Aspect Ratio" and select "Stretch to Fit Screen". Solved, but I'd like to not have to do that. Is there an option I haven't come across yet, or some other tool? I don't use TSMuxeR outside of BD-RB..so I'm not sure. I don't want to rerender the videos, so I suspect it's as "simple" as editing a DVD and changing a flag and saving back (DvdRemakePro) and is non-destructive to video. :-)

True, but CPU encoding is causing issues that you are having problems solving
There might be some setting that is causing the issue, I thought that using NVEnc for testing might show it and then the settings could be adapted to CPU encoding
Either way, to play UHD discs or files smoothly on a HTPC requires a GTX 10xx card or equivalent unless the bit rate is real low

[Wizzu]

Hi Jdobbs, hi all,

After 2 years without a glitch and dozens of flawless encodes,(thanks!), an old demon comes to haunt me again: AUDIO ENCODING ERRORS! My, oh my...:( :scared:

I suspect it's the source that is the culprit. ROME Season 2 Blu-rays. HD-XLL audio files.

With older versions of BD-Rebuilder (50.10.18 for instance), the error comes out as an AFTEN error. With the latest version, just as an audio encoding error.

Any idea?.....

[Wizzu]

OK, I recalled that the first time I had audio encoding errors with BD-RB (in 2012... lol...) it was down to the use of a special character in the output path name. Specifically it was a "§" that was not accepted by AFTEN.

So I tried a couple of different path names with the ROME episodes. To my surprise I discovered that the culprit was the french diacritic character "É" (Episodes in french is "Épisodes"). BUT... only the uppercase "É": the lowercase "é" works OK... go figure! :confused:

It's stunning that non-english or special characters in folder/file names can still be an issue in 2018. Brings back memories from the 80's and DOS. Lol :D

Anyway, problem solved again. Audio encoding errors? Try changing the output path name to something simpler without accentuated or special characters.... ;)

[MrVideo]

I know nothing about UHD video. The settings I use to encode BD compliant video I got off the net from those who created/work with x264. As for x265, there has to be something out there that says what the settings should be for UHD compliant video. If the x265 developers want the industry to use their product, they have to be providing help somehow.

The software is using x265 thru ffmpeg. Is the problem in x265 or the way ffmpeg does the settings

[jdobbs]

Update: I've found at least one source of the sync issues in UHD-BD. When you use closed GOPs (automatically set when --uhd-bd is used) TSMUXER randomly loses frames from the .hevc file when it is muxing, causing the sync issues. I have no idea why, but running a trace through all the packets shows the problem. It doesn't happen when I use an original .hevc file that came directly from a disc, so I'm not sure whether TSMUXER or X265 should get the blame.

What I found, though, is that I can generate an M2TS file using FFMPEG without the missing frames. Luckily FFMPEG has to be included with BD-RB for UHD anyway (in order to frame-serve HDR to X265). So right now the plan is to manually integrate the video stream from the FFMPEG output into a BD structure created by TSMUXER. The other option (if that gets problematic) is to simply have BD-RB generate the rest of the structure itself. If this works I may have a solution by Thanksgiving. But I've gone down a lot of other promising rabbit holes in the past few weeks -- so I'm not promising anything. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic.

But I've gone down a lot of other promising rabbit holes in the past few weeks -- so I'm not promising anything. Still, I'm cautiously optimistic. Well... the FFMPEG M2TS output is pretty ugly and can't be used as-is. I'm going to have to scan the stream and make corrections. This will add more time (to write more code to do this) and to the process (scanning the stream). It already needs an extra conversion step to create timestamps (FFMPEG can't generate the M2TS directly from an hevc elementary stream). Uhhhgghh.

[Edit] An interesting sidenote. When TSMUXER creates its stream and misses frames during playback -- it never actually modifies the HEVC stream. If I demux it from the created M2TS the output is identical to what went in. What appears to be happening is that TSMUXER fails to recognize some of the frames -- and they don't get a timestamp for playback and (apparently) get lost in the PES packet of the previous frame. Not positive about that... guessing. I'll need to pull out the PES packets to know for sure.

The bottom line is that I'm not sure how long all this might take -- but Thanksgiving is out of the picture.

Would this thread be of any interest?

Formally, per spec and common practice, not all pictures must have timestamps, because the decoder/player should interpolate them.

Formally, per spec and common practice, not all pictures must have timestamps, because the decoder/player should interpolate them.You missed the point... FFMPEG won't mux them without timestamps... whether they are required or not. But that's just one of many problems -- there are a ton of other issues. FFMPEG can't mux HEVC directly, so it has to go through something else first (like MKV or MP4) -- so much is lost, for example some of the NAL info that is required for BD muxing.

With that said, per the BD standard (para 9.4.6), all frames are required to have PTS values and all I/P frames must have PTS and DTS timestamps.

Hi!

I tried to use the feature "Use Tesseract to convert PGS to SRT".

- Downloaded Tesseract from your site and unzipped it in a folder
- Checked the relevant option in BDRB setup
- Entered the correct path when asked (checked since, by looking at the INI file)
- Loaded the source BD with PGS subtitles
- Launched the job

But the output subtitles are still PGS only. No SRTs to be found. Ideas?

[Wizzu]

It must be ALTERNATE to an MKV or an MP4. Doh! Didn't gather that. Sorry. I was trying a standard Blu-Ray output. My bad then.

I certainly don't want to sound like a brat (even though I tend to be one sometimes :D), but the feature would be nice to have with regular BR output (and specially for Quick-play output)... reason being that I like to change the color and position of my BD subtitles (through remuxing with Tsmuxer) before burning discs, so I tend to OCR [PGS's → SRT] quite often. Having BD-RB do that automatically would have avoided me the additional step of de-muxing the BDRB output before OCR. :cool:

No biggie. Congrats again for the long way you came since you started the project. The software is now very reliable and full of great features. I'm starting to wonder why you still consider it in beta, actually. :)

[jdobbs]

I'm starting to wonder why you still consider it in beta, actually. :) It's because I'm always making changes, many significant, between versions, and calling it a beta keeps the user warned. Also... I like to fantasize that someday Wikipedia will list it as the "longest beta project on record".

@ All

My new Pioneer arrived 2 days ago, through a strange FedEx route...to the City where I live, then to a City an hour away, then next day back to my City again. Odd. It's nice to have burns that are actually recognized by my LG Blu-ray player every time. I have TDK and Verbatim BD-RE DL discs. I burned a processed but not rerendered "Let's Be Cops" on both kind. The Fox intro plays pretty well, a slight video glitch, but soon the menu shows. Choose extras, and pick "Deleted Scenes" and then whatever scene. What happens is interesting. The name of the Scene file is separate from the video, so once it plays and fades to the deleted scene the scene "hurries" to get in sync with the audio. This does not happen with my original, of course.

I'm thinking it's not the burner, and not sure about the media. I'm really not sure if it's related to BD-RB. Does anyone else have the movie to verify or not with? Meanwhile, I'm going to check some other movies..to see if this happens with them. Is this an affect of "age" of the player due to how a lot of mastering is done now? Hmm.. Any ideas or suggestions?

[Lathe]

Pretty sure that's a volume name for a downloaded rip. There's just about ZERO chance that's an original disc. Retail discs don't use such volume names as such there's no way of knowing what kind or preprocess has been done, that causes problems for bdrb.

Get the original disc and try again.

Thanks for the "insulting" assumption. It is just following my personal naming convention, anyway.
I assume the problem is using multiprocessing with a disc including a secondary stream as well.
I am not going to report any possible bug here to get punches in the stomach anymore, bye.

[AmigaFuture]

@ Ch3vr0n

You might suspect some names I use as well. Not everyone keeps a disc name exactly as it is after a decrypter. Some BD names don't make sense and thus are renamed for later recognition. I know it's tricky sometimes, but assuming can cause Witch Hunts. Which is also a fantastic long song by Rush. Some renames I use reflect what I want to do, check and how it was processed with BD-RB.

Update: I think I know what's happening with some BDs and their "out of sync" as I most recently asked about. I didn't know anything about BDFix, so I'm checking into it now.

If you say thats done because of your personal naming convention, then you have my apologies. It's just that it wouldn't be the first time someone reports an issue with a title, that had a volume name like that, and blames BDRB. While in fact it was their questionable source that was the problem.

Now that that's out of the way. The culprit is then most likely this one

- [04:20:49] Multiplexing M2TS
- Error in attempt to multiplex: MUX_00086.meta
- Can't open file: D:\WORKING\WORKFILES\VID_00086_2.AVS.1.264

According to the last line it can't open that specific 264 stream. Does the file exist? If so, then you may be right that multiplexing is to blame. I'd try to decrease the number of x264 instances in that case first.

[AmigaFuture]

You might have missed that part. I reported some time ago about some BD I encountered that with. Switched that option off and it was solved. Usually it functions very, very well, and I'm very glad JD hasn't removed it. ;) But other times, snagggggggg...

Sure&completely agreed :)! I am just missing this multiprocessing feature very much. It can reduce encode times with my machine to ~1/4 compared to encodes without that. :(
Maybe it has only something to do with discs that have secondary streams as well.

Has anyone found issues with the Quick-Play menus in the most recent build?
I used BD-RB for the first time in a long time last week, and the final disc was unplayable. All the files were right and the new menu appeared to be present, but the disc would start to spin up then freeze my player.

I know that's vague, and I'm going to do more testing, probably rolling back a version, but I was curious if this was something anyone else had come across.
[...]
Edit:
1) v0.50.24 - No luck with Mummy 3/quickplay burned disc again.
2) v0.50.25 - Tested a different BD (Indiscreet) with quickplay. Burned disc plays fine.
3) v0.50.25 - Mummy 3 again, unchecked "Attempt to find original background/menu" options. Burned disc freezes in player.
Just experienced the same issue here with a BD-25 quick-play backup of Mad Max Fury Road. My player (Panasonic BD-75) freezed when trying to play the disc.

I tried lots of stuff but what finally worked was to uncheck "Go to menu at disc start" in Quick-play settings. This way the disc loads and plays, but any attempt to access the menu still leads to freezing.

So it's definitly something fishy with the quick-play menu, with this title. Maybe you can confirm that it's the same with Mummy 3 (assuming you read this post... :-))

The person I talked to attempted to assure me about SmartPost. I said 3 times in different parts of the conversation, "It was delivered to my hands by a guy wearing FedEx clothing." So, SmartPost now is handled by FedEx?? Blank look, then, literally, "Uhh...no..." and I though the same as you. I'm not mad, and I know stuff happens. I'm not a fan of FedEx or UPS - leaving packages as they do sometimes. USPS has never left a package openly accessible.

If a package doesn't fit in my mailbox, it is left below the mailbox (attached to the house), or right next to my door (which is 8' from the mailbox). So, yes, the package is out in the open.

Twice now that trying to import DVD episodes with the latest version (0.60.04), I get a Runtime error "6" - overflow during import.

- 1st time with DVD episodes from Twin Peaks - the return
- 2nd time with "" "" "" Legion - Season 1

Strangely, for BOTH, the runtime error comes up between 65% and 70% import of the 1st episode.

I'll have to eat my words about BD-Rebuilder not being in beta anymore? ;)

Tried older versions (0.50.23, 0.50.18), same issue.

Even so, if one is sitting, the view angle would be such that you would only be able to see above anyone walking by. One would have to stand on something in order to view anyone going by. Easier to go upstairs and do it.

In my case, there are zero windows street side.

Wow, I'm surprised he's been brushed with that and I haven't. Observation is really a good thing as long as we are playful about it.

Social media?? I think it's fun to be able to discuss technical topics and have banter mixed in some. But social media like Facebook, eh..

Ahh...this new Pioneer BDR-2209 is pretty cool. Not a bad burn or a "misread" from my LG Player yet. I had to reformat all the RE-DL's I was using, which is okay. The ripping speed is a little slower than my ASUS's..but if that means better quality (read/write) then cool. Firmware update didn't change that.

[Wizzu]

Something is wrong with your setupMaybe so. Any idea as what could be wrong with my setup? Considering that I've just backed up my whole BD collection (127 titles) without issues except for 3-4 odd recent titles (Mad max Fury Road being one), and I'm having issues only when importing DVDs with episodes, I'm at a loss where to start to look for problems with my setup.

I've been using Bd-Rebuilder since 2011. This "Runtime "6" Overflow" error when importing DVDs, was a known risk in older versions of Bd-Rebuilder but was taken care of by Jdobbs in version 0.43.6 in... 2013! And I haven't been experiencing it in years. It's very strange for me to see this again.

I recently re-installed MPC-HC, maybe it's got something to do with it (codecs?).

We've all been doing just fine so far. If JD doesn't like something, I'm sure he will let us know... It isn't excessive; there just are little bursts from time to time. If a person happened to come back to this thread after two years without any participation in all that time, and happened to stumble upon a little banter , I would suggest that that person should perhaps not feel free to complain... Besides, the thread is linear... So, I would think that it really does not matter at any given time if there is a bit of back and forth. If you are deeply searching the entire thread for something important, fine... that won't hurt. Otherwise, all one has to do is simply keep up with the current posts.

I feel that we have a very nice, constructive, communal atmosphere here where everyone truly does put forth an effort to help others when it is needed.

I have been using MPC-HC exclusively other than PowerDVD 12. VLAN is a great program, but I was very bothered that it didn't save/respect GUI settings/positions. Otherwise, a fantastic program. I prefer the settings of MPC-HC a lot, and always conforms to a file's Video resolutions and I've never had to adjust it..unlike VLAN.

MPC-HC doesn't install LAV. Installing LAV would prompt for replacement if so. Always has with previous versions.

This thread used to be dedicated to bug reports and possible discussions with JDobbs about them. Haven't been back for a couple of years. I'm surprised that it's changed so much.

The thread IS dedicated to bug reports. When there is one presented look at the replies. Look at the Help that comes across and even the silent people come out and support. Freely, I'll add. A Serious Mindset is a stagnant one. Pixar is a company that has replaced animation as it used to be. They have often breaks from the "Seriousness" of animations; to just be silly. That really helps to inspire creativity; being goofy or a Stooge of The 3 Stooges or Alan Alda from M*A*S*H*...he was very funny in situation deemed serious.

Do you have ANY idea how cold and _boring_ many people think Video Editing/Understanding actually ISSS?? Outside of those really into it? This group makes it fun...I think. JD, I also sense understands that. Listen also, to the sound of his Hair being yanked on about 4K and stuff.. He's really pushing the limits of hair growth.

If JD wants to step on Lathe's nuts or breasts to get a message across...we'll laugh as we hear the screams and respect that message. It's HIS program...and we are aware of that. Besides all of that, it's the few the break the rules of Doom9...and JD steps in very well.

Well, this is an unexpected surprise. The 100 S5 D3 was not read correctly. BDRB lists the PlayAll and a :13 piece. It did not list the three special features or the four individual episodes. DVDFab listed all of the titles.

I have no idea how to troubleshoot this one.

UPDATE: Another two DVDs partially not liked: Pretty Little Liars S7 D1. It shows the episodes play all, 3 episodes and 1 bonus. There are actually 6 episodes and 3 bonus. Pretty Little Liars S7 D2, 1 bonus missing from list. VideoReDo lists them all. Extracted with DVDFab just fine.

Just a note on UHD-BD status. I've decided that X265's HEVC output and TSMUXER aren't compatible. The problem, I believe, is fully the fault of TSMUXER -- although I still can't figure why it doesn't have issues with original sources. Maybe it does, and they just aren't obvious, I don't know.

So for the last several days I've been poring over the H.265 specification and writing code to do the muxing (for hevc) myself. I've made a lot of progress. In my next step I'll use TSMUXER to create a disc structure using just the audio/subtitles and a dummy video segment. I will then merge my correctly muxed video into the result. I'll then have to update the MPLS and CLPI to match the new M2TS (packet pointers and PTS's for iframes etc.)

When I complete that... I'll release a version that works with UHD for further testing. Then I will go back and start writing code for other video, audio, and subtitle streams. The eventual goal is that I'll complete a replacement for TSMUXER and integrate it -- but that may take some time.

When I complete that... I'll release a version that works with UHD for further testing. Then I will go back and start writing code for other video, audio, and subtitle streams. The eventual goal is that I'll complete a replacement for TSMUXER and integrate it -- but that may take some time.
Which version of tsmuxer are you using? I think to remember that versions 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 (latest) introduced bugs which were not present with 2.6.9. The bugs may affect subtitles only though, I don't now. Just in case if this should matter.

Just a note on UHD-BD status. I've decided that X265's HEVC output and TSMUXER aren't compatible. The problem, I believe, is fully the fault of TSMUXER -- although I still can't figure why it doesn't have issues with original sources. Maybe it does, and they just aren't obvious, I don't know.

So for the last several days I've been poring over the H.265 specification and writing code to do the muxing (for hevc) myself. In my next step I'll use TSMUXER to create a disc structure using just the audio/subtitles and a dummy video segment. I will then merge my correctly muxed video into the result. I'll then have to update the MPLS and CLPI to match the new M2TS (packet pointers and PTS's for iframes etc.)

Is there a way to keep FLAC audio tracks when converting MKV to Blu-ray? either as WAV or at least as AC3.

Hi jdobbs, I confirm that the problem is borne by TSMuxer, but is also found on the original titles, thanks again for your great work.

I believe you are correct as I have had slight pauses during playback on UHD Sources where all I did was remove some audio tracks to get it down to BD-50 size. The picture quality was excellent but the slight pauses were noticeable on both software and hardware players. The audio never pauses, just the video.

Thank you for the time you are putting into this. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

IDK if BDRB natively converts FLAC files (I would think so) but, if you are muxing your OWN Blu-ray disc, just use UsEac3to (that is the GUI I use) drop in the original video file, choose the FLAC stream in the drop down INPUT menu, and then choose either the AC3 or I THINK it is the W64 for OUTPUT that will mux as a Wav file properly into a BD format. If you check the bitrate of the FLAC file first, many times especially in older films, the bitrate is usually lower than 640 and you can just use AC3. If you are unsure, play the file with Foobar2000 and it will show you the audio bitrate.

Which version of tsmuxer are you using? I think to remember that versions 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 (latest) introduced bugs which were not present with 2.6.9. The bugs may affect subtitles only though, I don't now. Just in case if this should matter.It wouldn't matter anyway... I think only v2.6.12 supports HEVC.

No log entry for the error. As soon as I told BDRB to import the DVD, it got the error. After re-reading other discs, this disc worked. I'm currently burning a disc, so I can't try all of this again to see what happens. As soon as I can, I'll report back after retesting.

[MrVideo]

OK, I've re-read all of the discs. D4 now reads without error. That is going to make it extremely difficult to debug.

But, D2 is not displaying all of the titles on the disc. As previously mentioned, there are three bonus features, of which BDRB only "sees" two. VideoReDo "sees" them all. There is nothing in the log to indicate that BDRB is having issues with the disc.

Have you had any of those slight pauses with BD as well? Reading these newest posts, I'm wondering if while JD has been using newest TSMuxer is it affecting BDs also, not only UHD..? Since I've noticed pauses in BDs.. Which I hadn't checked for a while ago. I was thinking it's related to encryption removal from other software. Hmm!

Hmm!I don't think it's a TSMUXER issue for normal BDs.... I've done hundreds and have never seen it. TSMUXER has a long history of working properly with AVC.

As for UHD-BDs... I can tell you down to the bit exactly what is going wrong, as I have written code to analyze the output stream. It's not recognizing NALs on IDR frame structures when reading the HEVC file (not always, but often) and tucking them into the PES of a preceding (usually B) frame. It then is screwing up the PTS and DTS values because it didn't know that frame was there. From what I can seen so far the original discs are using mostly I frames because they are utilizing open GOPS, so the error is less common -- as an IDR only comes around in a huge number of frames. My guess is that the pauses are happening when it actually does miss an IDR. The open GOP of X265, however, doesn't seem to work, yet, as it causes stuttering. I haven't put my finger on why yet. But I'm guessing the X265 developers know this -- as they disable open GOPs when you set the "--uhd-bd" command line flag.

No. Regular BDs play back perfectly. The slight pauses I am referring to is only on the UHD discs that have been run through TSMUXER to remove foreign audio tracks. Those same files (as a test) can be run through MKVMERGE without any playback issues. So, I don't believe it is a decryption software issue. TSMUXER is the problem (in my opinion) due to its inability to properly handle HEVC streams. And it is no longer in developement. Thanks.

Does anyone know if "Samsung BD-5700 Multi Region Free" is Good and without Cinavia? Or able to recommend?

Unfortunately, that is the bugger of it... I just looked that up the other day and AFAIK Cinavia is mandated on all players after a certain year (2014?) That is why I safeguard my older OPPO BDP-83, which was their first flagship player that I bought almost exactly 8 years ago. If you cannot find anything else, although there likely are less expensive older players available, I would highly recommend a good, used OPPO. My model would probably be the lowest priced. The BDP-93 and 95 models were the last Cinavia free models. Mine's been kind of acting up lately, and I will gladly spend the money to refurbish / clean / repair it, due to it's being Pre-Cinavia...

[MrVideo]

Yes, Cinavia detection is required on all current players, from Feb 2012 forward. I have a couple of older Samsung players, one that is 3D capable.

Keep in mind that Cinavia is hardly ever placed on new releases. I'm only guessing that it might be because DVDFab cracked Cinavia and can remove it. Whatever the reason, it is hard to come by these days.

[Sharc]

You can set it in the Import menu and in the .INI

From the HIDDENOPTS.TXT:
IMPORT_THRESHOLD=n n = Threshold size (in minutes), default=15, of BD/DVD titles listed for IMPORT selection


I think the menu will overwrite the .ini, but you may want to double-check

Edit:
Can that title be played with a standalone? Sometimes there is orphaned material on discs which is not included in any playlist.

There is nothing in the log to indicate that BDRB is having issues with the disc.Here's a thought. I've run into discs before where the authors (for some reason) decided to use chapter marks, instead of standard methods, for separating titles. Since chapters are individually addressable, it isn't obvious during playback. They don't do it often... but I've seen it several times -- especially on short titles. I've even seen half-hour series discs in which the episodes were simply chapters in a single unit.

To handle those discs I added a hidden option called IMPORT_DVD_CHAPS. Try that and see if it separates out the titles you mentioned.

ANY model released AFTER feb 1st, 2012 is required by the BDA to detect cinavia. There's no way around that (unless looking for unlicensed players, but those generally have no or a limited menu)

If you want a cinavia free one, you're going to have to scan sites like e-bay, 2nd hand local commerce sites or used items stores. It's what i did to pick up my Panasonic DMP-BDT110's.

and dvdcrap (my opinion) isn't the only thing that can remove it. So can AnyDVD+CloneBD, albeit at a cost to the audio.

Wow, I sure hope you are right about that! I didn't know that they weren't using it as much. I wonder why...? Really, from what I've read, there is no real software solution since it is something hidden in the audio track, other than recreating usually at a loss the audio.

I was thinking of the same thing some. Getting a hold of LG and asking if they'd do a repair/refurbish with it...and NOT inject anything into the firmware. I know about the date, 2014 already, which is why I was asking. I thought I saw something where the protection has been defeated (DVDFab) and now the makers of Mastering process by different companies isn't going to use it anymore or near as much since it's pricey to use.

I'll look into the Oppo's... Heh, read funny.. But I think checking if mine can be refurbished is a really good idea. I love the internal Hard Drive, and I swapped it for an even larger one. If I'm correct, though, when you make an MKV and play it on a player infected (I know it's not actually "infected") with Cinavia it'll play as normal because that protection only checks the BD structure. Making more BD's from originals (Quick-Play) seems the best workaround, and way to have MKVs played with SUP within them. Pondering a lot, mate...

What do you mean "acting up"??

Okay, 2012 and 2014, I knew it was somewhere around there. Ahhh, that's probably what I was reading before and why I commented on it above. That's a big deal, that it's not placed on newer releases. I'm starting to notice that's probably why some newer movies I'm testing with..processed or not with BD-RB are having some "jitter" problems. Newer player, I'm sure that won't happen. So, my LG might not need to be refurbished..just keep it for some older stuff and the internal Hard Drive support. I don't use programs - Netflix, Hulu, YouTube from of my devices. If I'm going to do that, I'll use my Desktop which is much more powerful and full keyboard. Appreciate the confirmation about newer BDs. That's more important, since there are ways around the protection.

I've considered checking eBay. But even buying an older player, you don't know exactly what someone else might have done unless you can sense it, or they're being honest. Honestly, I've had some crappy dealings with people selling on there. I'm not a fan of eBay unless I'm seeking something rare...bad reputation, still, even though they are attempting to clean it.

Yeah, I know about AnyDVD and CloneBD and I haven't tried that method. I read that the audio quality is really altered.. DVDFab does a good job at removing it, they're making a lot of advances in several areas. Whatever our opinions are about whatever decryption, I'm glad to know there are more than 2 choices. Cool reply.

Looking more and more like newer protections + mastering methods are the challenges more than anything and why my LG Player is having some problems. Older movies and self-made BDs through BD-RB are playing fine now that I have the new burner. So..newer player. I'll find one at a local store, and then check that. If that solves it..than, okay. If not, I'll return it.

I don't know what you mean by a limited menu? My only concern is CD/DVD/BD playback..and preferred MKV with SUP/SRT handling. I don't like streaming so I don't use the "apps" built in programs. That should also mean, if I can find it, lower priced units. :) If Netflix offered full BD quality then I'd consider streaming at times, like making a lossless MKV and streaming that.

Awesome! Truly, one the nastier things they've come up with (well, except that underground gonca sex tape... Whew...)

If your unit was made before the Cinavia Apocalypse, ask first, but like with OPPO, I believe it is specific hardware that is incorporated into the newer units, and they can't / don't do anything while refurbishing the older ones. So, if you really like yours, like I like mine, then after double checking with them that would be the way to go.

AHHHHHH! I hadn't known that. I was fabulously wealthy like JD I would snag that :) OPPO has some pretty fervent fans, so I'm not too surprised that someone has come up with a defeat. Actually, I'm not a software expert like many here, but I would THINK that since that is added as a hardware / software addition, that it SHOULD be possible to kill it / circumnavigate it somehow... I know right out of the gate, since makers of players are not allowed (corrected, sorry) to make them Blu-ray Region Free out of the box, that there were hardware mods immediately for mine and the BDP-93. I little bypass wire that you simply plugged into the board (OPPO already DOES or at least DID make their players automatically PAL to NTSC internally, and the SW hack is super simple to play all region DVDs...)

You can set it in the Import menu and in the .INI

From the HIDDENOPTS.TXT:
IMPORT_THRESHOLD=n n = Threshold size (in minutes), default=15, of BD/DVD titles listed for IMPORT selection
I set it in the INI file manually. Plus, as I wrote, there are other titles on the disc that have a shorter time than the one BDRB missed.
Can that title be played with a standalone? Sometimes there is orphaned material on discs which is not included in any playlist.
I think you need to reread my postings. It is only BDRB that misses the title. DVDFab and VideoReDo have no problem seeing all of the titles.

[Sharc]

…. I think you need to reread my postings.
Possibly yes, but it has become pretty laborious at times to roll back through pages of some chitchat to find the original post(s) and problem reports.
Btw, did you succeed with jdobb's suggestion?

[AmigaFuture]

A friend has a newer Player and I got to check my tests BD-REs. Ok, settled, I'm going to get a newer device..that also supports MKV playing. My older LG plays less complicated-older multi-M2ts BDs okay...but not as well as newer. My friend (yes, Lathe..) also commented about how the BDs don't have the normal stuff, and asked where I got them? "Fair Use of your own owned BDs." and I explained it. He doesn't understand any of the process but said if I'd do it for him to keep some discs in good condition, he'd buy some blanks and brews. I said, "Okay, but also donate to the program." So after Winter Solstice is over, next month, I'll have a donation for you. :-)

[Mark_Venture]

All this talk of Cinavia.... I never worried about it. I rip to Alt-Movie only MKV... And played back. Is network share on my LG BD-390 and bd570.. and now Fire TVs :)

[AmigaFuture]

I'm not "worried" about it, and I don't care for streaming. Because my newer HDTV plays MKV files from USB (with Subs, Chapters, etc), I do that often but I still prefer Menu driven BDs. I enjoy "themes" a lot. My LG BD590 Player also plays MKVs from USB and HD, but not with Chapters. I keep Records and CD Art because I loved them all of my life. I still prefer to see the Art when I pick through my Lossless collection (converted all CDs to Bin/Cue), but MKV, or at least I haven't tried it yet, doesn't show Images. Hmm...Now that I'm thinking about it, my HDTV might..instead of Thumbnails from a movie.

I'll check now..

[MrVideo]

Here's a thought. I've run into discs before where the authors (for some reason) decided to use chapter marks, instead of standard methods, for separating titles. Since chapters are individually addressable, it isn't obvious during playback. They don't do it often... but I've seen it several times -- especially on short titles. I've even seen half-hour series discs in which the episodes were simply chapters in a single unit.

To handle those discs I added a hidden option called IMPORT_DVD_CHAPS. Try that and see if it separates out the titles you mentioned.
I somehow managed to miss this reply.

First off, that doesn't explain why DVDFab and VideoReDo have no problem finding this particular special feature title. Also, if a title were to contain more than one special feature, all three programs should see that and the title length would be longer. Plus, other than the deleted scenes, all of the special features have one chapter mark. Secondly, that just doesn't seem to be the pattern for any of the discs in any of the 7 seasons that have been released by Warner Bros. Doesn't make sense for it to be done with just one special feature.

Running a test using the hidden option, found a chapter that was 5:33 in length. That would match the 5:34 that was not found, less the 1 sec chapter mark at the end. But, when attempting to add it to the batch queue, it was listed as 3:30 in length. Then when running the batch, DGIndex failed with an error stating that there were too many pictures per group (GOP >= 500).

If you want, I can make an ISO of this DVD available for you to download for testing.

All this talk of Cinavia.... I never worried about it. I rip to Alt-Movie only MKV... And played back. Is network share on my LG BD-390 and bd570.. and now Fire TVs :)
Cinavia survives any ripping process. BD standalone players are supposed to also detect Cinavia on ripped media files like MKV wrapped programs. But, as it turns out, not all manufacturers did. TVs are not subject to Cinavia detection, as the BD media is required to verify legality.

[MrVideo]

but MKV, or at least I haven't tried it yet, doesn't show Images.
It doesn't. The MKV wrapper does not have the capability to store images.

I'll check now..that is where Kodi/SPMC/MrMC come in. They show me the art work, respect chapters and subtitles, etc.

I haven't tried ISO or Bin/Cue to see how they are handled.

I get that. My LG Blu-ray players didn't/don't. Nor does the FireTV. It's why i use them for play back.

[AmigaFuture]

...and dvdcrap (my opinion) isn't the only thing that can remove it. So can AnyDVD+CloneBD, albeit at a cost to the audio.

Agreed from my tests from the help of a friend. DVDFab Does remove it... I haven't used the combo yet, but I know it does, in part because you typed so. But also read so.

Tested MKVs with my new burner and since it's writing correctly where my much older ASUS were failing, the older LG is still reading fine.

What was need? You guessed it. I'll get a new cheap BD/MKV player for BD discs...and pass the knowledge to my Family and much, much more. Maybe it'll inspire more firmware hackers?

[Sharc]

I imported a couple of .mp4 files which were taken with a mobile phone. Source is 1920x1080p VFR as reported by MediaInfo. In fact the true video framerate appears to be CFR 29.97 or very close to it.
These files are imported in the pseudo folder as 1920x1080p23.976, and audio is out of sync. They are then encoded accordingly at 1920x1080p23.976 with audio out of sync.
Shouldn't these files be kept at the original framerate of 29.97 and encoded as 1920x1080i29.97, or even better as 1920x1080p29.97 with --fake-interlace?

I think the culprit is the pseudo VFR of the source.
Is there a setting/hidden option which I missed?

Edit:
I tried the various IMPORT_VFR_..... options in the .ini. It didn't help …

[AmigaFuture]

Cinavia survives any ripping process. BD standalone players are supposed to also detect Cinavia on ripped media files like MKV wrapped programs. But, as it turns out, not all manufacturers did. TVs are not subject to Cinavia detection, as the BD media is required to verify legality.

DVDFab 10.0.8.8+ does remove Cinavia. I was done before that version but..I'm not interested in getting the exact version. :) It looks and sounds like there isn't any degrading of audio is process.

@Sharc

Confirmed with my phone's video also.

[musiclover]

Does BD_RB have a setting to force the import of 25 fps sources to stay 25 fps and not get "upgraded" to 23.976 fps?

[jdobbs]

Does BD_RB have a setting to force the import of 25 fps sources to stay 25 fps and not get "upgraded" to 23.976 fps?IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM does that -- But the default is to keep 25fps as 25fps. You normally have to set this value in order to force the conversion. See HIDDENOPTS.TXT for details.

[musiclover]

IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM does that -- But the default is to keep 25fps as 25fps. You normally have to set this value in order to force the conversion. See HIDDENOPTS.TXT for details.

I have IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM=0 set in my ini. But BD_RB is still converting my 25fps source to 23.976fps.

[Ch3vr0n]

0 is the default. IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM=n n = 0/1 - Default=0, if set to 1, imported 25fps video file sources are converted to 23.976, only if set to 1 should it convert. I'd post the log and if jdobbs wants them the .ifo & bup files in a zip file or something so he can analyze the structure

[MrVideo]

The source is a 25fps .ts file. So no .ifo & .bup files are available
PLEASE... when pasting text, CODE wrap it.

[MrVideo]

Well, here's a new error I just ran into:
CreateMenu() 00076 4000
This was during Building Menu Structure. It was the 2nd menu of 2. All four files are there, but at the moment I do not know if the 2nd menu is valid.

JD, do you want a copy of the disc ISO of the DVD that BDRB was having trouble seeing all of the titles?

UPDATE: Nope, the resulting disc just started playing an episode and if I press "menu" on the remote, it skipped to another episode.

[Sharc]

I set it in the INI file manually. Plus, as I wrote, there are other titles on the disc that have a shorter time than the one BDRB missed.

I think you need to reread my postings. It is only BDRB that misses the title. DVDFab and VideoReDo have no problem seeing all of the titles.
Maybe a related problem:
I imported 18 short clips (.mp4), setting all import size thresholds to zero.
All 18 clips got imported and processed and were included in the Quick Menu, but surprisingly only 4 out of the 18 were shown in Stream Tab of BD-RB.

[musiclover]

PLEASE... when pasting text, CODE wrap it.

Sorry, I didn't know how before. But I got there in the end.

Now that you mention it, the stream list only showed 1 of the 12 MKV files that it processed. They are all there though. I really haven't paid much attention to the stream list. Maybe I should, just to see if it is a pattern.

In my case, 11 of the items are 40+ minutes.

[Sharc]

Yep! In my case setting both to Zero solved it. Thanks.
Surprisingly though all items were imported, processed and burnt to the disc including the playlists; it was only on the Stream Tab where some were missing.

Btw. could you already duplicate the .mp4 framerate issue (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1859500&postcount=28205)?

[MrVideo]

Yep! In my case setting both to Zero solved it.
Interesting. The M2TS is the default of 100MB and the other is set to 1 min. All 12 files in this case are above those values.

Another test disc I created has two 4GB+ files and again, only one.

I'll have to try setting both to zero to see what happens.

UPDATE: No difference. Only 1 of the 5 showed up.

[jdobbs]

After they are imported they are treated like any other disc... and very small files (extras) are just kept intact to save time (since they won't save much space). Only the ones that will be processed are listed.

I see, this explains it. They are copied intact rather than being skipped - it seems I forgot that :o

Now there remains still the framerate issue. This problem remains as it happens already during import, it seems.

[MrVideo]

Only the ones that will be processed are listed.
Ah Ha! Found it. I still had BDRB set up in Movie Only Backup mode. :o

It would be really helpful if BDRB would log what the issue is. BDRB gets thru a little over 91% of the file before failing.

This particular file has been thru VideoReDo twice. The first time to create a TS file as a result of shortening the 2-sec blacks to basically nothing and to mark a spot for a chapter mark. Then that file is used to create the MKV file with chapter marks. VRD had no issues with the video at all.

[MrVideo]

I think I found it. Like I said, it would have been very helpful if BDRB would display the error. In this case, I believe that it ran out of disc space. While setting up for a sat feed capture job, I check to make sure that there is enough space for the capture. There wasn't. And looking at what was left also meant that BDRB didn't have the space either for the first file.

EDIT: Yep, that was it.

[AmigaFuture]

JD,

Coming back to an older problem report of "Doctor Strange (2D)".. When I select to either Movie Only or make an MKV with DTS to AC-3, DTS is not converted (correctly). The process "looks" good as BD-RB's doing it but in the WORKFILES directory, the AC-3 size is 2.50KB.

With MKV it fails to mux, of course. But Rebuilding BD structure doesn't fail and when playing back with Player or PDVD12..of course, not any audio.

Also, a friendly reminder. Checked "Role Models" extra yet? :)

@AmigaFuture

Sorry... I'm so many layers deep in the UHD muxing thing that I'm not really looking at anything else.

To everyone... please keep track of your bug reports so you can remind me after I make the next UHD release. I'll try to catch up then.

[MrVideo]

2) Forgot to check if there was enough space.
I shouldn't have to check for space. It is a computer, it is supposed to tell me these things when it happens, not crash the program and make me hunt-n-peck as to what happened. :D

[MrVideo]

I just discovered a nice new feature in the latest version, which I must have missed in the changes list. And that is the conversion of EAC3 file to AC3 files, instead of BDRB failing. I was testing the standalone playability of some MKV files and noticed that the EAC3 was being converted. I wasn't paying attention that the files even had EAC3 audio.

[jdobbs]

I shouldn't have to check for space. It is a computer, it is supposed to tell me these things when it happens, not crash the program and make me hunt-n-peck as to what happened. :D:rolleyes: BD-RB tells you how much space you have available in the log. The secret is that you have to look at it.

Where? In a normal backup run... but not an import. It doesn't matter anyway. BD-RB isn't responsible for managing your hard drive space.

[MrVideo]

It doesn't matter anyway.
In other words, it isn't in the log. :D
BD-RB isn't responsible for managing your hard drive space.
That is true. The point is that most programs report that it has run out of disc space, Just being friendly to the user. In this case, BDRB ran out of HD space and went off in a tangent. The tangent made me believe that there was something wrong with the source file. IMHO, a bug.

[jdobbs]

IMHO, a bug.IMHO, not.

[AmigaFuture]

Just being friendly to the user. In this case, BDRB ran out of HD space and went off in a tangent.

If you are literal about it, BD-RB didn't run out of space at all, the HD did. BD-RB only reports it or shows it if "told" to do so, as other programs do as you noted. Reporting is different than causing. :scared: :D Windows will report low storage, only because it's programmed to. It doesn't "care". :sly: :D

[MrVideo]

Windows will report low storage, only because it's programmed to. It doesn't "care". :sly: :D
Yes, M$ will report it. But, when BDRB fails and quits, before it does it removes the files it was working on, therefore freeing up the space. M$ doesn't get the chance to report that it is low on disc space. :eek:

[jdobbs]

Yes, M$ will report it. But, when BDRB fails and quits, before it does it removes the files it was working on, therefore freeing up the space. M$ doesn't get the chance to report that it is low on disc space. :eek:The problem is that the operating system doesn't return an error that says it is out of disc space. It just returns a generic error that could just as easily be an access issue or a bad file name. So, every time I get an generic error I'm supposed to fo down a list until I finally check the remaining disc space? I don't think so. Like I said, managing disc space is out of scope for this program and it isn't going to happen.

[MrVideo]

The problem is that the operating system doesn't return an error that says it is out of disc space. It just returns a generic error that could just as easily be an access issue or a bad file name.
Well that sucks. In that case, can I suggest reporting that an unknown system error occurred and abort the current process.

[MrVideo]

For some strange reason, BDRB advanced the audio of a 23.976 video 8 frames, so that it leads the video. I know that it is exactly that because in this particular case there is a 1 frame audio sync burst at 1 sec into the video. The audio is 8 frames early.

So, I ran the MediaInfo program that comes with BDRB and it says that there is no delay with the video. Looking at the original MKV file with VideoReDo shows no audio issue. Looking at the M2TS file with VRD shows the 8 frame error.

As a test, I shifted the audio back 8 frames and the resulting M2TS file is now correct.

Any ideas as to what else to look for that can result in the audio shifting?

But that's the same thing MEDIAINFO does, so I doubt that is it. If it is there will be a "timeshift" line in the .meta file for the affected file.

[Sharc]

Does anyone have any idea why my 25fps file on import is being converted to a 23.976fps file? And, more important, how to avoid that?
Just guessing: Your source is 1280x720p25. BD-RB probably converts it to a Blu-ray compliant format which is 1280x720p23.976 (or 1280x720p24), but never 1280x720p25.
How to avoid it? You could try to convert your source to 1280x720p50 by doubling each frame or apply pulldown (via avisynth) before importing it.

For info: I imported compliant 1920x1080i25 sources and they were kept as 1920x1080i25.

[no-one]

My source is UHD-Remux size 40G, when I burn on bd-r 50G and play on lg up970, it get stuttering problem.
I think because it's too high bitrate for bd-r 50G. Can I use bd_rebuilder to reduce bitrate? How?

[lithiumus]

Quick question. I'm trying to remove some extras and all the warnings, comments, etc screens from my ISOs. Not doing any re-encoding. If I want to see all the smaller streams, I have to select Output Options as DVD5 or DVD9. Anything higher hides all the smaller streams. I can Force No Encode but if I'm selecting DVD5 or DVD9 LPCM will re-encode to AC3 as it's not a BD size and won't ignore encoding. Any way to see all the small streams AND Force No Encode on LPCM audio?

I searched the thread and based on what jdobbs indicated, if the custom target size is set above 8500, HD audio will be allowed to be kept and not reencoded. However, as soon as I set the target size to 8501, all the smaller streams disappear from the stream tab and I can't blank any of the warning and commentaries screens.

Slower answer to a quick question. Change output to BD-50. You might also need "MIN_M2TS_SIZE=1". Without quotes.

Used

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=0

And it that did the trick.

[lithiumus]

Hey jdobbs, finally back and setup for some UHD testing for you. Just to check, I did some no-encode backups and blanked some extras and even with no re-encoding and keeping all the original streams, the stuttering and audio sync issues are present. Just confirming that this is true as I assume if it was tsmuxer, even original streams would also be affected. LMK, happy to test for you.

[MrVideo]

Used

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=0
That is weird. I would have expected that to give you everything.

[lithiumus]

That is weird. I would have expected that to give you everything.

There are a lot of warnings like the "Commentaries expressed by..." that are smaller than 1mb will show up if you use = 0. So better to use 0 and see them all and select the ones you don't want to see that can delay your enjoyment of the video, etc.

[jdobbs]

Used

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=0

And it that did the trick.Those are the defaults when outputting to BD-5/9 because all playlists have to be encoded. A DVD can't can't handle the higher bitrates of an original BD.

[jdobbs]

Posted this in the TSM2UHD thread (by mistake) and am repeating it here:

Thought I'd post an update on the BD-RB's UHD-BD processing.

I've completed and tested the HEVC muxing routines and all is well. BD-RB corrects the TSMUXER M2TS for HEVC output and replaces the MPLS and CLPI files (corrupt due to TSMUXERs HEVC muxing issue) with those internally generated by BD-RB. The output works perfectly on my Sony UHD player.

Now I am making modifications to the import routines so they will also correct for TSMUXERs actions. It's not as easy as you may think, since I still need TSMUXER to combine multi-part playlists during import and to mux the other (non-hevc) streams. I've also done research on how BDs handle DolbyVision streams. An extra video track containing the DolbyVision data is muxed as a separate stream into the M2TS file. Since TSMUXER has no awareness of that stream (it thinks it's just another secondary video) I have to go back through my code and make changes so that it can be integrated properly into output. I'm not sure how long that will take -- but I don't expect it to be extensive.

All in all things are moving along -- albeit slowly. I may get a version out for testing in the next few days, but at the latest I'll get it out by EOY.

How does a tangent "make" you accept there's something wrong with the source? [edited] Tangents are more living-things related than programs or hardware. :)

Will that be easier than getting the TSMuxer code and fixing it?

[AmigaFuture]

You have it? It's offered by the programmer?

[jdobbs]

Will that be easier than getting the TSMuxer code and fixing it?I'd say the odds of that are slim to zero. We do have the code for TSREMUX though. That's something.

Update: Still working on updates to BD-RB. I've hit a lot of issues -- right now I'm working on making the import routines work. I'm not going to get a release out by end-of-year. But I'll keep plugging along until it's finished. It'll be done when it is done, I guess.

[Ch3vr0n]

Hey don't stress. Family comes first this time of year! Don't let them think you're a stranger.

[jdobbs]

Hey don't stress. Family comes first this time of year! Don't let them think you're a stranger.Good point. Thanks for understanding.

[AmigaFuture]

Blood isn't thicker than water in all families. Yeah, don't be too concerned about it, JD, and it doesn't matter what time of year it is. Aside from family members that are cool to hang around, great programming shouldn't be rushed like it has become 15+ years now. Do a good job, and check it. Then release for us to find what you missed. Wink.

I found the recent DTS to AC-3 problem I'd been chasing. Had to remove Service Pack 1, and install 7 like it was updating TO, than install Service Pack 1 again. Then AviSynth again and it's doing well again. The rest of the bugs we'll chat about when you're available. Stress isn't worth it.

[Ch3vr0n]

Oh if it was up to me, i'd screw one side of the family over on spending time with them over the holidays. I could care less about my father's / brother's side of things, it may sound cold (but for me its the truth/facts). Can't wait for that 60+ yr old to be 6 ft under. Didn't give a damn about me when in school, "patched" things up (at least i made him think that), and i still don't give a damn about him. But hey, for a few times a year, a couple hours of torture (bring cellphone with movies ;)), free food & gifts i'll stick with it.

Anything else, they can shuv it.

To me they're days just like any other (like my B-day). Doesn't mean i can't/wont be considerate of others that do actively and happily need/want/can share the holiday spirit :)

[AmigaFuture]

I wasn't coming from a thought process of regrets, and anger held onto.. I've let go of many things a family member did to me and other members, I just won't hang with that one member, and some others. I also won't help in any way (used to do a lot of computer repair/modifications). Other members kept saying for years "The person has changed." I'd sense and notice all the stuff not changed. I confronted, face to face, made sure I communicated very well and the person understood where we were both coming from. Ran a line of stuff to me, and I caught/busted every bit of it to the face. Everyone is right in their own mind--and some will dig in and be like a very heavy stone. It's a personal choice to allow it to keep happening to you or not. I prefer Zen approaches to many things, but my Scottish heritage has a saying I love, "Don't [keep] tread[ing] on me with impunity [because I'll jack you over if you do.]", so... Agreed, Ch3vr0n. I only suggest not even keeping hold of those "until he's 6 feet under"..thoughts. It's not worth it...for yourself. Just a thought. :) That one family member is just another person to me, not anything +/-. :) I think the Spirit should be year-around not 1 month or selective months. I stopped celebrating "Christmas" years, and years ago..several reasons, that being one of them.

Okay, I've been wondering.. Are you using Samsung Galaxy S9?

[Ch3vr0n]

Me? A galaxy? Hell no. Nexus 6P 128GB model :p I don't like any model with a custom UI shell, i want stock android. All those shells do nothing but slow a device down and add duplicate crappy apps you can't get rid off.

[videoh]

What does this have to do with BDRB?

:readrule:

[Ch3vr0n]

It all started with me responding to jdobbs pretty much saying "family over software". But back on topic now :)

[AmigaFuture]

Was going to take that private but...didn't. Now it is. Pardon the reply..back to BD-RB, agreed. :)

As can be seen, the menu file was never extracted. The "06" file was actually #5. Well, not exactly. Notice the length difference.

Here is the BDMV file (http://vidiot.com/BDRB-BDMV.zip), minus the M2TS files.

UPDATE: I've discovered that BDRB is doing a title shift. The title for playlist 1 is assigned to playlist 6 (yep, the menu video), The pattern continues such that the title for playlist 5 is assigned to playlist 4. Playlist 5 ends up getting the "06. D- [00-42-44]" title. This happens on all three disks that I've done so far and expect it to do the same for the remaining two.

Hi all hi Jdobbs I hope you start a good new year and please excuse me english is not my first language but I trying to do my best

So, I have on my collection several movies that I like to make a backup and last weeks I was thinking about encode that backup to MKV 265 10 bit (I check and Bd rebuilder cant do that I´m wrong?)

Let me explain, for example I have Star Wars , last days I make a backup with Rebuilder

So, when the BD25 was finish, just for see whats happens I tried to encode this BD25 to MKV 265 10 bit with another program and make me a file around 15gb comparing with the almost 22gb of BD25?

This MKV file with 15gb is a perfect copy of my BD25

So I wonder if I keep this MKV file as backup and some time when I need it if I just restored this MKV again to a BD25 I´ll get the same quality that I previously get when I encode the first time?

For example the DTS audio I encode to AAC

Jdobbs I hope dont be Broking any rules, if I do, just let me know dear please I dont any bad intention

Thank you in advance!!

ps: I can´t find in Bd rebuilder this option

First of all, you should keep the original Blu-Ray disc in a safe place. This is your master for all subsequent re-encodes.
Secondly, as every re-encode of a re-encode (like your MKV 265 10 bit) introduces new losses and artefacts (they might be small though), it is not recommended to keep a re-encode of a re-encode as a master or archival copy.

[jfcarbel]

Upgraded version and want to ensure I refresh/update as its been some time since I updated anything.
Are these settings still valid?

1) Nero AAC:
Just upgraded version and noticed I had in INI file a path to Nero AAC encoder as set below:
NEROAAC=1
NeroAACPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Nero\NeroAACCodec_v1.5.4\neroAacEnc.exe
Is Nero still the best for quality and recommended? I ask because that was the recommendation many years ago, but I assume the FAAC project has improved.

2) FFSHOW version:
Noticed I am running an very old version at 3382 and looks like for some time 4504 is recommended version.
Should I install new version and will installer move over any custom settings I had in prior version?

3) Multiprocessor settings:
Also noticed using this setting as I have a Intel 6 core CPU and 16GB RAM
MULTIPROCESS=4
Are most folks with multi core using this setting? I have not had any issues with it and been using for some time now.

4) Encode Quality settings
Noticed I switched off auth and set to High Quality Default (ENCODE_QUALITY=2)
And One Pass ABR (ONEPASS_ENCODING=2)
Should I continue using one pass ABR or is CRF now what most use? I understand if I uncheck one pass the output target might be more accurate but it takes more time. Is 2 pass almost double what one pass encoding time takes?

5) Tool versions
noticed am using AVISYNTH Version: 2.5.8.0 and HAALI Splitter: 1.9.42.1
Will update to AVIsynth to latest. But is the version of Splitter the latest, could not tell as readme file does not indicate version that jdobbs recommends.

6) Preview in BDRebuilder
Noticed it launches my MPC classic 6.4.9.1 which is surprising as most bluray are H.264 so would have thought would now launch MPC-HC which I have installed.

You are saying if I pass BD25 to MKV 265 directly, with full quality and AAC audio best quality (just like when you pass the BD25 to MKV with Makemkv) I´ll get loose quality?

My idea like I sayd is encode with Rebuilder to BD25 and not burning to disc but pass is it MKV, you know, 23gb compare with 15gb is something

So what do you say?

[MrVideo]

As pointed out, each and every recode introduces errors into the video. The higher the recoding bitrate, the less errors, but still errors. Going from DTS to AAC is not the best thing to do either. So, do as you were told and keep the original Blu-ray.

Will you notice the recoding errors, probably not.

Hi,

I have just experienced one of those rare cases where BDRB doesn't recognize a disc structure. The BD is called "Ein Vogel auf dem Drahtseil" and a german release of "Bird on a wire". BDRB doesn't read it from ISO and from original with AnyDVD running. If of any help BD Info, BD Edit, Clone BD have no problem showing the discs content. Anything I can provide to help?

As I recall, there are problems running BDRB with AnyDVD running. It was developed to run with disks that had no protection. And, I believe, JD does not respond to issues involving external programs like AnyDVD.

[AmigaFuture]

There's something to disable in AnyDVD, I think.. Anyway, rip the BD to Hard Drive and BD-RB should notice the rip fine.

[Shadow-Man]

Is it possible to override the --bluray-compat switch? I only want to use software players so... (B-Pyramid optimal, GOP 24 - 240)

I read that there is an encoding quality 6 wich enables a custom commandline - but i cant get it to work.

jdobbs
14th July 2012, 14:44

...ENCODE_QUALITY=6 is used for a custom command line. It is only meant for internal testing and very definitely isn't a higher quality level. Without proper usage (also undocumented) it could create a stream that is not BD compliant.


And here are some suggestions (if possible:cool:)

- different Avisynth settings for Main Movie / Bonus Material

- individual resolution settings for movie / extras (movie 1080 - extras 720)

- individual audio settings for movie / extras (i.e. movie dts-hd 5.1 to 640 ac3 5.1 / extras dts 768 5.1 to ac3 192 stereo)

- A copy stream option (usefull when in edit mode und enforce reencoding is used but still some streams should be untouched)

- the possibility to replace an Audio Stream (Main Movie) (for dubbing or uhd audio for bluray i.e. DTS 768 from BD to DTS-HD from uhd)

- the possibility to define a timerange for main movie on episode bluray with extras i.e.
episodes 3 x 45 min / specials: making of 60 min, Intervies 20 min
> timerange 30<>50 so the Episodes will count as "main movies"

- support for qtgmc deinterlacer (auto use on interlaced material, with possibility to edit some switches like preset, ezdenoise, source match - auto set single frame for 1080p and double frame for 720p)

Why? Software players have no issue playing BD compatible H.264 encodings.

Hi all hi Jdobbs I have Passengers in UHD and I need to convert to Full HD, I pass from Bluray structure to one MKV file with audios tracks and subtitles and when I use Bd rebuilder 60.04 and in File,Imports, Mkv, I select this passengers UHD MKV file to import so Bd rebuilder should collect all information about it in let me start the convertion to Full hd? I ask this question because I don´t have clear how to do it because Bd rebuilder, just don´t do nothing, I mean, I can select the MKV and Bd rebuilder says

Wait for JD to release a new version that will allow for UHD to BD backups.

[AmigaFuture]

MrVideo.. You beat me to it.

Hi all hi Jdobbs I have Passengers in UHD and I need to convert to...[snip].

JD is working on UHD support. He's not finished. :) It has been typed about for a while now. He'll release an update when he's ready.

Thank you for let me clear, I thought since release 60.01 UHD support was just ready on Bd rebuilder, of course with eventually errors etc that Jdobbs in time will fix it

So guys for get clear you´re saying Bd rebuilder so far doesn´t support UHD?

[MrVideo]

There are issues that JD is trying to resolve.

So guys for get clear you´re saying Bd rebuilder so far doesn´t support UHD?I know from usage that UHD Disc rip to Alt Movie Only MKV works (can down convert resolution too).

My understanding of UHD Disc rip to BD-Disc (which I haven't tried) is that it works sometimes, but there are still issues that jdobbs continues to work on.

But it looks like you are trying to import a UHD resolution MKV, and turn that into a BD-Disc? I don't recall if that was ever said to be working.

[AmigaFuture]

That's part of the challenge. I think BD-Rebuilder is currently limited to ~50 GB imports? But that's probably a poor guess since Mark indicates it'll make a BD resolution MKV. So, somewhere along the process is what JD knows that we're missing. I don't understand all the programming technical BD creation stuff he's typed before but I am glad he shares it so we can learn. :)

You mean if I import a UHD MKV and convert it to a another MKV but full hd resolution with intact audio it works?

[AmigaFuture]

Correct. Rerendering UHD to BD structure is not functional at the moment. MKV import to MKV out resized to 1080p is. As Mark_Venture typed. So the work-around for now is..Import MKV, output with resize, and them import again to make BD.

Edited: After reading Mark's reply again, nope..not Import. But rather using the disc rip. 2 very different things from a programming view. So, you'd have to use the UHD rip..not UHD MKV..but...give it a shot. ;)

Correct...

I was trying to say I can rip a UHD Disc to hard drive folder (using DVDFab Passkey, AnyDVD or the Backup function in MakeMKV, including structure, etc.), then use BD-RB to convert that disc rip to a UHD resolution MKV with Intact Audio, and it works.

It was my understanding, based on past posts, that BD-RB can't shrink a UHD Disc to a BD-25, BD-9, BD-5, etc.

I've never tried taking a UHD Resolution MKV (such as output by selecting a title in MakeMKV, or recorded with my video camera), and having BD-RB import it then output it as a lower resolution MKV file OR a disc structure. I don't know if that is supposed to work. I've never read any postings about starting by importing a UHD MKV, and I've never thought of doing that. Every UHD source I have is a disc, so I'd rather use the original. And I have UHD capable video editors to resize/re-encode anything I shot in UHD on my phone or video camera.

@Blurayhd I read your post as if you have a UHD resolution MKV (possibly by selecting an individual title to output in MakeMKV maybe? since the title is Passengers) and tried to import that MKV into BD-RB and create either a 1080p Bluray disc or a 1080p MKV... If that is correct, I don't think that function in BD-RB is working yet. (And I don't know if BD-RB will ever down convert from UHD to HD Disc)

If your goal is to end up with a HD MKV, then rip your UHD Disc (structure) to hard drive, and use BD-RB's Alt-Movie Only backup feature, and select the correct profile that meets your needs.

If you are trying to convert a UHD Disc to a HD disc, then I don't know if you can do that. I just know that UHD Disc backup/shrink was still experimental, had issues and being worked on.

I left Apple for Samsung S9, but I still have my Apple devices. Apple still hamstrings the user way, way, wayyyyyy too much for my preferences.. I forgot that I'm able to take UHD video with this device. I'll join together some video/audio and test for myself. :) As for discs, I don't need beyond 1080p... I can already see "artist" affects I didn't see before accepting 1080p. LOL! (Yes, I do it when I type it..it's not just a something to type..) "Wall-E" was why I decided 1080p is pretty cool as an example for movies. But beyond that; Mars and other non-dramatic stuff rocks.

Hello,

Is multiple instance processing available with FrimEncode?

My processor utilization is at around 15% at the moment.

Thank you for an advice.

Hello,

Thank you for an advice.If you are using FRIM with a compatible GPU, the workload is offloaded from the CPU to the GPU. You may want to check your GPU's utilization.

@All -- I've been spending my time on another higher priority (read: income producing/food on the table) project. I'll get back to BD-RB when time permits. I also probably won't be on the site as often as I have been for a little while. Thanks.

@jdobbs you remember that "special" build you made for me with that QuickSync hw encoding switch. Do you remember the build version of it? I recently upgraded my "old" 6700k to a whopping 9900k!!! and want to test if it makes any difference if the 99900k will also still have the glitching.

Add an option to ignore delay values that BDRB finds via mediainfo.

Too many times I've run into an issue where BDRB screws with the video/audio delay on files that have no issues when played, but end up having issues after being run through BDRB.

The latest example is where the first five frames of the video were removed, resulting in the audio appearing to be delayed by said amount. All 12 episode files were affected. The special feature files had 125ms issues. All source files were MKV wrapped h.264 23.976 videos.

Mediainfo showed that both the video AND audio had the same delay, which to me means the delay should cancel out.

Thanks for considering this.

BDRB 60.04 is unable to convert a BD to DVD in movie only mode. It immediately fails after extracting the contents of the source video file. This problem began with version 60.02.
My test was with "Alpha".
MultiAvcHD handled converting Alpha from BD to DVD just fine.
BDRB is able to process the source material to make a movie only BD of Alpha just fine.

Replace HCENCODER with another version.
I don't believe JDobbs has replaced the supplied version on page one. Since the update was in october, and our conversation was in November.

It's been a number of years since I used BD Rebuilder so please forgive me if I ask something that has already been covered in the thousands of preceding pages..

I decided to have a go at converting a full UHD to a 4K 25gb (keeping structure, resolution etc.). It appeared to work, but the menu stuttered and there were sync issues in the movie. Is this what JDobbs is seeing at the moment in the UHD issues?

Look at Import/Quick-play settings and check 'play items sequentially'

[jdobbs]

It's not in the hidden. Have you tried setting MENU_PLAY_SEQUENTIAL=1Yes. That will still create a menu -- but it won't go back to the menu between episodes, it will advance to the next episode instead.

[Sidneymack]

Great, thanks for the info guys. :D

Found the option in the Quickplay settings and see that it changed MENU_PLAY_SEQUENTIAL to 1 in the ini file. Can't believe I've missed it.
Will test this out tonight.

Would an option to not include a menu be on the cards for the future?

Hi all hi Jdobbs last week I use BD rebuilder for encoding some backups to BD25 and burn to Bluray disc, I need to verify that disc and other disc that I burn months ago, I really want to, I mean verify the disc estructure so I can see if any disc have some bad sectors? just like DVDisaster does but some another similar graphical tool that you can recommend?

I tried with IMGburn but with one device burner IMGburn in some sectors just slow the read speed but do the job I mean IMGbung create the ISO anyway

When I tried the same but with other device burner IMGburn just can´t read that sectors and get me an error

For that if you just could recomend some tool for see that sectors I´ll appreciate

Not a bug so much as a question....

I generally use Alt-Movie Only, MKV 1920x1080 intact audio as my output...

I've always used bluray as the source. As I start buying more 4K/UHD discs, I've been sticking with using the included bluray as source because its "comfortable" and works...

Now I'm wondering if I might get better output starting with the higher resolution source... but I've been concerned about possible HDR/DV on the 4K discs, so I've not tried yet.

ThanksIf you are outputting to ALTERNATE or are outputting to BD-5/9 that flag doesn't apply. Is that the case?

Movie only -- no alternate. Yes outputting to BD-5/9. Got it.

[AmigaFuture]

Have you converted a Blu-ray to DVD-9 720x480 at best quality? It looks like a DVD-9... The logic wouldn't suggest UHD to Blu-ray is going to make the BD look better, but rather have the same quality as BD. Just stay with best quality or default. All that's happening is resizing, and the resize method matters. Same logic is applied when taking a large digital picture and resizing it to smaller.

This has happened with two completely unrelated BD's. I pretty much always do the same thing with a movie only file of this size: Fast settings, 2-Pass, same x264 Tweaks that I always use.

It's almost like the x264.exe has become corrupt somehow... (you know, women, drugs, money, rock 'n roll, the usual...)

Hmmm, that's interesting... So, I just tried simply to run a CMD line using x264 to render the file, and darn if I didn't get the same prompt as show above. The x264.exe that I'm using comes from an older version of BDRB 5023. I THOUGHT that that is what JD did in his more recent updates because x264 was for some reason running slow, so in the newer versions doesn't he use an x264.exe from an older version that is faster? This is the one I've always used when using the CMD line.

I guess I will try again, but this time choose another version of BDRB's x264.exe

Weird...

[Lathe]

Well, just to be clear, I'm using the x264L-64.exe from BDRB's 5023 folder. But, hmmm... in using the current version of BDRB, wouldn't it have used the CURRENT version of x264L.exe though...? So, I wonder why BOTH would fail?

DAMN weird...!

[Lathe]

FWIW, I DL'd the newest version of x264 for Windows 64 and used it in the CMD line to see what would happen. It is running just fine, BUT, for some odd reason this version in the CMD window does NOT show the cumulative percentage of the file being created (which gives me some idea as to the resulting file size) and it does NOT show the estimated time left for encoding.

Soooo... I know THIS post is not BDRB specific, my apologies, but it would be kind of nice to know why this new version of x264 does not show these two very important parameters. If anyone knows, that would be great, thanks!

[Lathe]

Well, the new version of x264 crashed too. Sure is strange... I did find out though that to show the progress and time left, you need to add the --frames [number of frames] to the CMD line.

But, I sure wish I knew why EVERY version of x264 is crashing on me. Nothing from the logs above...???

[gonca]

Did you try a different decoder?

[Lathe]

Did you try a different decoder?

Oh, you mean like Direct Show instead of the internal LAV ones? No, that is a good suggestion, but then why would the .exe alone in the CMD line do the same thing?

I'm starting to think that it might be a heat issue??? Didn't JD mention something like that before when someone had the encode crash and there was an x264 error for no 'apparent' reason?

[gonca]

Just looked at your log again, if I read it right the encode failed 13 1/2 hours in?
Might be heat, clean up your bunnies and reconsider your tweaks, anal or otherwise, to ease up on your CPU.
Or just get a decent CPU

Yeah, I think you are right... My system has been on extreme borrowed time for the last few years now. Many times it will just freeze up and I hafta restart it a number of times, and then it will seemingly run just fine for quite a while, weeks sometimes, or even a month or two.

I use speccy to check the CPU temperature, although it almost always shows it much higher than other apps do, including my bios. It used to crank out these encodes over night every day without any trouble, but it could be getting worse now. I'll hafta wait until I can hopefully get the drop on some unsuspecting senior citizen right after they have cashed there Social Security check. THEN I could see about buying a new system. I've already looked into the CPU / MOBO / Memory. I already have 2 SSD drives and a new stronger PSU that I THOUGHT would help, but it doesn't really. I just need to get the stuff above and a nice new trick case and then that should hopefully do it.

I was too late on that one.

Do you overclock your CPU?? I built this Desktop in 2010, and I sometimes have it overclocked and others times not..depending what I'm doing. I have zero need for a newer Motherboard (or Windows 10). Check your RAM also. I have some protecting the outside so if I clean the machine inside and touch the RAM area, all is protected. I don't know how often you clean and stuff. But I haven't had any crashes like that unless I oops and have the overclocking set too high - usually I don't.

Not only is the Motherboard a little older so is your time of reference with SSI - funny.

The codecs are set as advised but inspect first claims they are set wrong for win 7 and then further down in the report says they are OK, then it claims that the present build of BD reb is unknown.

This is why I asked if inspect was still current. Again, I would appreciate anyone's help.

Heh... I KNOW you are not gonca mate :)

I made two statements:

1) There is something smelly (in other words that is very odd that if you just DL'd the stuff on page one that you would be getting that kind of report) I'm not sure, and others here may remember, but I THINK that there was some kind of discontinuance of an older form of the 'Inspect Report' That could simply be it.

2) If there IS something smelly, it is likely gonca (due to the randy mooses [meese...?])

Dumb question of the day (and because the "3d" search term doesn't work): Will BD-RB backup 3D discs? I've acquired a handful of them and it seems prudent to consider backing them up!

I know, "why don't your just try it" but my MediaPC is down atm and the answer to this question might inspire me to work harder to get it back into service!

While the software generally does a good job, I don't know that I would trust it 100% without a means to test the final output.

[jdobbs]

While the software generally does a good job, I don't know that I would trust it 100% without a means to test the final output.Why is that? I've never had any issues with 3D.

[omegaman7]

Neither have I(Full backups). I just think it's a good rule of thumb for a software in beta.
I suppose I have had small little nuisances that make me watch more closely(Imports/mkv outputs). But I won't mention them without being absolutely sure that they weren't caused by me. I'm very close to reinstalling everything soon. I don't like pointing a finger without being absolutely sure lol

[worknstiff]

@ omegaman7; RE: Neither have I(Full backups).

I probably have done as many 3D's as anyone and the only problem I have encountered is just as you mentioned (Full Backups ONLY). I haven't been able to do "Movie Only" 3D output to folder or ISO without it creating glitches in the video. It has crosstalk between the left-right images. I would like for it to work because that is the best way to get the absolute best quality picture by just keeping only the video and down converting the HD audio to 640K 5.1. It's too bad it doesn't seem to work. BUT it works beautifully doing "Full Backups though. jdobbs work on BD Rebuilder has been really phenomenal especially for a "beta" piece of software.

[laserfan]

Ha, ha! Good one! I think after 10 years in beta that would be the least of my concerns! ;)

Did we have an anniversary party in December that I missed? Should have for sure.

I've not looked at any of these discs yet (five movies, with Titanic being over 2 discs it appears) but surely will keep in mind the caution about Full vs. Movie-only, because MO is the way I've always done backups in the past. Thanks for the discussion.

I'm doing a clean install of windows and I'm wondering if I can install the latest Avisynth+ and if it works with BD-Rebuilder.

[jdobbs]

Don't know. I haven't tried it (or at least I don't remember trying it).

[sandrino3867]

jdobbs, any news for next bdrb release ?

[Ch3vr0n]

It'll be released when it's ready, and not a moment sooner.

[Sharc]

Don't know. I haven't tried it (or at least I don't remember trying it).

It doesn't accept Avisynth+ here. It throws an error at startup telling that Avisynth v2.5.7 or above must be installed and aborts.

It's easy to switch between Avisynth versions with Groucho's UniversalAvisynthInstaller though.

Just a hypothetical question, say you own the original but it's scratched too badly to make a new backup off. In that case it's probably cheaper to rent the title (if you can even find it if it's an old one) and make a backup of that one, than to buy a new copy (if it can still be found).

What's the viewpoint of you/this forum on that scenario?

Make a backup before it's scratched too badly :D

[Ch3vr0n]

Not me, but could be a used disc of an old title that was purchased originally, or the kids got a hold of the backup and they already ruined that one too ;) Many options. Just a hypothetical, as the policy on this scenario differs usually between forums.

I just had to jump through hoops again to make a DVD from my "A Star Is Born" (2018 release) blu-ray, as BDRB is unable to create a DVD directly from this (and many other) BDs.

It failed towards the end of "Starting to MPLEX":
[21:32:59]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started
- [21:32:59] Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure

- [21:33:46] Starting MPLEX.

[21:35:37] - Failed to REBUILD

I got it to work by:
The BD was ripped to hard disc using DVDFab64.
I then created a movie only BD50 folder/files using BDRB and forcing BDRB to convert the audio to lossy Dolby Digital by unchecking everything under "Audio Encoding Options" in Setup.
Then I used BDRB to create a DVD from those BD folder/files successfully.
It appears the process to create a DVD from a BD in BDRB doesn't like the lossless audio tracks in many titles?

[AmigaFuture]

Rich86:

Your Log is incomplete. [Snips] are good when redundancy is not required. Movie-Only Alt. output (DVD) will create AC-3 (Lossy). BD-RB isn't about "like" or "not like".. It's about function; logic.

Low HD space? Stuff missing. DVD's also uses Dolby Digital (AC-3) which is Lossy.

Then I used BDRB to create a DVD from those BD folder/files successfully.
It appears the process to create a DVD from a BD in BDRB doesn't like the lossless audio tracks in many titles?Well, I found the issue... but it isn't BD-RB. The DD TRUE_HD track has an issue. BD-RB extracts the core audio -- and, strangely enough, it is 448Kbs (instead of 640Kbs as you normally see). That isn't really an issue since 448Kbs is what is used on DVD. But... it makes BD-RB try to use it intact. The problem is that the core audio track is corrupt. So when MPLEX tries to mux it, it gets this error:

**ERROR: [mplex.exe] Can't find next AC3 frame: @ 456128512 we have e027 - broken bit-stream?

The other english track is DTS-HD XLL. That one is used by default on my system. It works fine because BD-RB correctly realizes it must be encoded.

I'll try to put a fix in by adding an option in which the audio is forced to be reencoded.

[AmigaFuture]

It works fine with the 2nd Eng (DTS) for me to DVD-5/9. The 1st failed for me, as it did for JD...

[Rich86]

Yes - I had chosen the 1st audio track and it (mplex) failed trying to go to DVD-5 output. As I described, when I ran BDRB to create a movie only BD50 and forced the conversion of the True_HD track to lossy AC3 - then it ran fine. Then I ran BDRB again using the created movie only BD to make the DVD-5 and that ran fine.
I didn't think to try using the DTS track as the source when trying to go directly from the original BD to DVD5.
Thanks for looking at this.

Hi

For bdrebuilder is better win7 or win10?

It has been a while since I've looked at Stardock WindowBlinds, and they've finally got it looking much better.. Hmm.. Stock Windows 10 is just...horrible to look at. I'll check it. Otherwise I'm my own security for 7 and XP. JD hasn't complained about 10 and BD-RB so...is functional.

I have attempted many times to enjoy the "modern" look. Flat, bland colors are good for an older OS before pizzazz was possible. I like the correct "Window" logo vs ?colored windows? logo (WHO puts "Wallpaper" over a Window anyway? A lot of hidden activity in the background also; lots of snooping.) No one from the State, of Federal where I live enjoys it. Most people I know deal with it because they aren't "tech enough to remove it". Now our Phones look like it. Anyway, I dig changes - not Loseer10. My son works at Intel and has told me a lot also. I would obliterate the tiles/Browser incorporation..not remove them. At least Windows 7 control panel is still there last time I checked. Auto-Updates are also...lame-as-the-figment.

Making Windows 10 mandatory...also excludes a large part of the population that doesn't dig, like, or even want to use it. Windows 10 was not introduced as a transition, it was forced. Bad, MS...*spanking*.

Anyway, when JD returns, I'm excited for new videos being supported. Taking some videos with my S9, I noticed some challenges as others have. Found work-around but... I'm laughing because now I'm also interested in the UHD support (camera).

I have attempted many times to enjoy the "modern" look. Flat, bland colors are good for an older OS before pizzazz was possible.

I've been quite happy with W8 which I've had since it came out. I know it's kind of a bastardized version since Windows I believe now only recognizes 8.1 Everything has always run simply and smoothly. I DO use Classic Start Menu for the Retro look and it gives you a crapload of options for how Explorer looks and works. And, of COURSE the very first thing I had the guy do who was building my computer at the time and going from W7 to W8 was IMMEDIATELY eliminate all the tiles! But, to be fair, I've never tried W10, and for all I know it could run better or faster. Just REALLY don't like changing my OS.

[AmigaFuture]

I've been messing with Start10 and WindowBlinds with XP and Seven skins. Ahhh, finally...doesn't look so horrible-eye-sore. Tiles are replaced, Yeess!!! Now I'm checking speeds...as well as how it functions with BD-RB. So far I haven't noticed the browse button click-no-response, click-again-and-get-the-prompt "bug" isn't there. Hmmm. 10 is supposed to be a lot better with RAM+CPU, so..for now, on a test partition only. Once in a great while it required 2 to 3 clicks before the source browse button actions of BD-RB would show a prompt.

Hmmm, well, I certainly could use 'a lot better' with RAM & CPU, that's for sure! :) I just FINALLY realized today that I had my CPU set to 'Turbo', which under normal circumstances is fine. BUT... I've been having x264 fail on encodes, so I checked the CPU temperature and I know that's it because I've been having some very long-standing trouble with it. Just today I had an encode fail part way through. So, just on a whim, mainly to see if I could boost the CPU fan speed or something, I noticed the Turbo setting. So, I THINK I put it back to normal. After rebooting up the system, I re-checked the CPU temperature, and sure enough, even during the same encode again, it was a HELL of a lot cooler, at least in CPU terms. So, maybe that will get me by until I am bloody forced to build another system.

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to use the function "movie only" to fit one film UHD o a BDR-DL.
the main movie is a file.M2TS of 53GB, so removing additional languages it is within 50GB.
if I look at the log both audio and video are processed without re-encoding.

I use a player to see original M2TS file and it is ok
I use a player to see HEVC file inside WORKFILES directory, and it is ok
But when I open final M2TS file after rebuilding, the video is jerky, audio plays ok but it goes more and more out of synchro (because video is jerky).
practically the video is becoming longer because every 4-5 secs it hangs for 1 second.

any idea?
thanks a lot :thanks:

My problem is not the uhd bd structure, I'm not burning a disc but I'm just trying mux files on hard disk.
It seems bitrate has an influence, if I reencode with lower bitrate like 35000 the Effect is less, but still present.

It misses recognizing the start of some frames and then buries the frame within the PES packet of another. As a result the timestamps get way off, sync is lost, and you get jerky playback. After TSMuxer creates the structure, the video stream has to be remuxed completely to correct it. I'm working on that for BD-RB, but just haven't had a lot of free time lately.

[omegaman7]

I've been dealing with DTS XLL/HD-MA tracks, and I'm starting to keep the tracks. Or rather, instructing BD rebuilder to do so on MKV outputs(Keep original audio). I've been noticing that the outputs lose more than half their bitrate/file size(3700K becomes 1500K). Since I don't see BD Rebuilder "Encoding Audio Track", I'm assuming there's another explanation?
I've dismissed it for a few encodes, since i'm sure the difference is negligible. But now I'm curious lol

[MrVideo]

Since I don't see BD Rebuilder "Encoding Audio Track", I'm assuming there's another explanation?
Keeping the core of an HD/MA audio stream does not require recoding. After the MKV file is created, run it through Media Info to see if the HD/MA audio is still there, or not.

[omegaman7]

The output file says compression mode: lossy. Nothing of HD-MA.
So, the original HD-MA has redundant audio information? In that when removed, it's unnoticed? Apologies, my current audio system is bordering on analog, and my understanding not much better lol

[MrVideo]

Each of the high-def (actually a misnomer) audio formats have in their core the base codec, i.e.Dolby Digital 5.1 @ 640k and DTS 5.1 @ 1509k. That is to allow for players, amps, etc. that do not know about the non-lossy formats to be able to play them. That also allows for programs to also extract the core. No idea why BDRB is extracting the core instead of keeping the whole stream.

You have disabled "Keep HD Audio for BD25/Alternate Intact". Which reduces core. It doesn't rerender the Audio.

[omegaman7]

You have disabled "Keep HD Audio for BD25/Alternate Intact". Which reduces core. It doesn't rerender the Audio.

Since I'm outputting MKV, I didn't think that setting would apply.

[jdobbs]

Since I'm outputting MKV, I didn't think that setting would apply.Make sure you have "Keep HD Audio for BD25/Alternate Intact" checked on the SETUP dialog. You also have to select (or create) an ALTERNATE profile that has aType set to 2 (intact audio). If those two conditions are met, then both the core and the HD audio will be kept.

Just a warning, though. In creating an MKV the HD and core audio are muxed separately (as two independent audio streams). An MKV doesn't support two audio types muxed as one stream like Blu-Ray does. That fact makes it even more complicated when you go the other way (from MKV to Blu-Ray), since the Blu-Ray standard doesn't support the HD stream without the core.

Output to MKV is Alternate output (non BD)... so the setting "Keep HD Audio for BD25/Alternate Intact" applies.

Has anyone else updated to DGDecNV 2053 dated 2019-03-10 and run into any issues using it with BD-RB? Initially I was getting errors related to extracting subs and then after playing around with settings, a clean BD-RB install, etc, the problem moved to errors when doing CRF prediction. I spent a number of hours trying to figure out why I was running into issues seemingly out of nowhere until I remembered that I had recently updated from the previous DGDecNV version. I reverted back to the older version, 2053 dated 2019-02-23, and things appear to be working again. So far.

Original error message:

I definitely agree that it is odd. DG does "slipstream" in changes and there have been a number since February 23rd. You can find the changes here: http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=463&start=150. Slipstream 170-172 are the new changes; the last 3 posts.

With the above said, all backups were failing with the latest version, slipstream 172. All. I was beginning to get extremely concerned. I dropped back to the older release, sleepstream 169, and I have one successful backup completed and a second 75% completed. Once the current backup finishes I am going to move to the new version again with the download I previously used to see if the failures return. I'll then test with a new download of the same version.

I'll report back my results.

[DrinkLyeAndDie]

Ugh. DG moved the binaries. :mad: He changed the location of the x86 binaries to a sub directory so BD-RB was pointing to the wrong location. If I correct the path to the DGDecNV files I bet the problem will miraculously go away.

EDIT: I corrected the path in BDREBUILDER.INI to point to the files in the new sub directory that DG moved the dgdecnv EXE and DLL to. The failure still occurred. So, I moved them to the base directory like they used to be and then set the paths again in BDREBUILDER.INI. Now things are working. Problem solved.

OK, on another DVD, of the same 90210 S1, I told BDRB to import two of the special feature files. It did, in that the Stream directory has the two files. But, when I import the current project into the Batch queue, it only converted the 2nd M2TS file into a MKV. The first file was ignored, not even mentioned in the log.

When I re-did it, only selecting the first file that it wouldn't do, it did it.

[sneaker_ger]

Hi guys I have to convert UHD to FULL HD a movie and I have no idea what number put just right there where arrow is? I mean, for get the best quality possible what number I have to set in CRF?
18 is high quality.
Basically,
low crf = high quality, big file size
high crf = low quality, small file size

If you go too low the file becomes bigger than the source file so you have to find a compromise. No one can tell you what you would like because it's subjective. You have to experiment a bit.

Thank you in advance!!A CRF of 23 is X264's default and is a good compromise between size and quality. A value of 16 is pretty close to a lossless encode, but creates a huge file size. Anything below that is massive overkill. I'd recommend keeping it at 23, but if you are really worried about quality, try something a bit lower.

Hi Jdobbs and yes I´m talking about quality I mean, the idea is to get approximately the same quality that you got with you have the full bluray BD50, if I have the UHD from some movie so far I understand it I can convert to Full hd but keeping the quality of BD50 ?

What is exactly, dear Jjdobbs of CRF number to obtain, I dont know, 48gb is the normal size of a BD50?

i really hope you can understand it because English is not my first language

Thank you in advance!!

Yes I tried it with a very low crf and I get a120gb larger file

Like I said to Jdobbs the idea is to encode UHD to Full hd but the result file keep the BD50 quality and fit on a 48gb file

ps: as an example, think just like this, we have an UHD file that we need to encode to Fullhd but keeping the quality and the file size have to br 46/48gb (a BD50 disc)

You know what I mean?

Excuse me my English I try to do my best

If you want to hit a certain target size .. select "Two Pass Target Size (MB)" and enter the size you want. Not CRF.

If you want to hit a certain target size .. select "Two Pass Target Size (MB)" and enter the size you want. Not CRF.

Thank you for that speaking about CRF I forget about that option but, as I always use BD rebuilder with CRF option and I love the quality I preffer to keep using this crf option dear Sneaker because maybe I get a lite bigger file size but that file I´ll can convert again with BD rebuilder this time to fit an BD25 is that correct?

I mean, maybe no matters if the file size is 48 or 80gb, Bd rebuilder can convert this file to a BD25 keeping the amazing quality is that correct?

ps: if you all have to convert UHD to Full hd using CRF what number you put there?

If your end goal is to make a BD25 why not skip all the in betweens and start directly making a BD25 with BD-Rebuilder? BD-Rebuilder will give you the best quality that will fit on a BD25 disc. All your steps in between only make the quality worse.

Allow for more characters in a menu item.

I've run into some show episode titles that are too long. And yet there is plenty of room on the screen, I only ever do a single column. Maybe a hidden menu option:
MENU_NUMBER_COLUMS=0 Max number menu item colums: 0=as needed (default). Setting to 1 will allow for more characters in the menu item. The more columns allowed, the less numbers of characters per menu item.

[worknstiff]

I was just wondering if it's my system or has anyone else been having problems down-converting TrueHD 7.1 (ATMOS) audio to DD 640K? The last couple of Blu's (Aquaman, Fantastic Beasts Grindelwald) have down-converted ok EXCEPT it ended up with 448K, NOT 640K even with all the audio switches unchecked. Perhaps I just need to reinstall everything if I'm the only one with this problem. Thanks

[gonca]

@worknstiff
Re Aquaman movie
448K is the core bit rate of the THD track, maybe the core is being extracted and the audio is not being converted

[jdobbs]

@worknstiff
Re Aquaman movie
448K is the core bit rate of the THD track, maybe the core is being extracted and the audio is not being convertedYep. There's only two ways it could happen. Either the core is kept at 448Kbs, in which case reencoding to 640Kbs would actually reduce the quality -- or the selection to encode at 448Kbs is selected in the AUDIO ENCODING OPTIONS checkbox of the SETUP dialog.

If the core is 448Kbs you should see the track PID and language followed by "Keeping original core audio" displayed in the log.

[worknstiff]

@ jdobbs; RE: "Keeping original core audio" displayed in the log.

These "ATMOS" TrueHD 7.1's are really becoming a real pain. This is what mediainfo says about the Crimes Grindelwald track is:

: D:\WORKING\WORKFILES\00018.track_4352.ac3
Format : TrueHD / AC-3
File size : 3.87 GiB
Duration : 2h 35mn
Overall bit rate : 448 Kbps

One is 8 channels / and the other 6 channels, BUT BOTH are only 448k. So much for high definition audio. I guess I am going to have to get a bigger disk, lol.

Thanks for the help, gonca, jdobbs.

[sneaker_ger]

448 kbps is obviously only the core bitrate like jdobbs already said. 3.87 GiB for 2h 35mn is something like 3575 kbps (file size = bitrate * duration). 3575 kbps - 448 kbps core = 3127 kbps for TrueHD/Atmos part.

[worknstiff]

Yes I understand that part but it seems like we are being short changed when it splits out the TrueHD 7.1 core out of the complete ATMOS stream, and it is only at 448, instead of the usual 640 core. Guess it is my irrational mind thinking it is less than what we used to get, lol.

As an after thought I can "process" this same disk with CloneBD and it will down convert to DD5.1 640k. Is it just playing with my head by changing it or does it magically get me the 640k out of thin air?

[sneaker_ger]

TrueHD 7.1 isn't 448 kbps (except in edge cases), only the AC3/DD 5.1 core is 448 kbps. AFAIK as I know that's legal and simply a decision made be the authoring house.

You can of course convert the TrueHD to AC3/DD 640 kbps if you want to. Maybe that's what CloneBD does. If the quality of your AC3 encoder is much/any better at 640 kbps than the authoring house's AC3 encoder at 448 kbps is a different question. You probably won't hear a difference.

A free and very useful program to use to convert audio streams is UsEac3to (the GUI) just drop the movie file into it, select the 'True' stream, and choose your output. If you have the Surecode encoder installed, you can even convert it to DTS @1536 if you want :)

[jdobbs]

I can probably add a hidden option that will force a new AC3 encode @640Kbs using the TrueHD as it's source if the core is 448Kbs. But, as sneaker_ger said, I'm not sure whether a reencode at 640Kbs would provide a noticeable improvement over the studio authored 448Kbs. Probably so, but I think few people could tell the difference.

A guess might be that they are using the 448Kbs audio that is used in their DVD authoring as their core (since that's the max rate for DVD).

Another guess might be that they are purposely trying to make the TrueHD sound superior to what it truly is by creating a core that would be less than perfect for comparison. Tests have shown that a DD AC3 encode at 640Kbs is indistinguishable from the a lossless original in double-blind tests. Tricks like that aren't unusual. What you typically see is the volume level increased in "HD" audio (compared to standard encode) so people think they are hearing a difference that really isn't there (at least to the human ear).

I am trying to import 27 files. BDRB gets to the 16th and bombs (no files on system to see why). Ahha you say, duff mkv files. Not so, because if I import either 1 - 15 or 16-27 everything works. There is also enough disc space ~700gb

Anyone have any ideas as to why I should get this error (note files 1 -15 generate the same log info);

- [19:05:43] Importing video file: (15 of 27)
- Preparing MKV for processing...
- Collecting audio/video streams from source...

[19:06:19]ERROR: Gathering source file information. Aborted.

I am sure that there is a simple explanation, I just can't think of it.

Many apologies. 16 of 27 has a problem and I must have messed up when importing 16-27 and actually missed 16. Still not sure what's wrong with it as it looks OK. I will have to recreate it.

OK I found the problem. BDRB does not like right single quotation mark (’) in the file name

OK I found the problem. BDRB does not like right single quotation mark (’) in the file name
Not true, sort-of. I just imported a file with the ' character. I suspect that it is the ' character in the upper character set, not the ' in the lower character set.

and now post the entire logfile please. That message by itself means nothing and could have dozens of causes. We don't have a crystal ball to know which one and its magical solution.

True. I suspect that it applies to the left single quote mark also. Probably a UNIX thing as Windows doesn't seem to have a problem

I'm sure I'm just being stupid, but I hope someone can help me put multiple DVDs onto one BD. I want to put all the episodes of a TV show onto one BD with only one menu and all the episodes numbered with direct access to them. That is, if there are 9 episodes on 3 DVDs, I want to import this to a BD which will have one menu indicating 9 episodes. I asked about this about a year ago (page 1372) and was told I should create the following files on my computer:

Title
-- DVD1
---- VIDEO_TS
-- DVD2
---- VIDEO_TS
-- DVD3
---- VIDEO_TS

and point BDRB to the title folder, and "it will do the rest."

I have tried this multiple ways, and this is what happens. If I just use the "browse" button for the source and navigate to the Title folder, it gives me an error "source not in BD format." I understand that, because it obviously isn't. If I navigate to disc 1, I get an error that it is in DVD format and asks if I want to import it as a BD folder.

If I just use the "Import" button in "file" choosing "import DVDs" and navigate to the Title folder, I get an error that the files are not in DVD format. It requires me to navigate to disc x and it will import just those 3 episodes. I can do it for each disc folder, but I just end up with files for 3 BDs.

I've tried "Import to batch." Then it just allows me to put the 3 imported discs into the batch section, and if I ask it to "process batch" it does, but it does all 3 discs independently again ending up with 3 different BDs worth of files not one BD.

I have tried using "import" or "import batch" and when navigating to the disc folders trying shift or control to select more than one disc. It does not allow me to do so.

So, obviously I am doing something really stupid. Please let me know what to do.

Thanks.

I've used BD_Rebuilder to do this very thing BUT I always use BD_Rebulder to import "each" disk. I use the import while paying close attention to the name and runtime of each episode. After BD_Rebuilder completes and waits for you to click backup then close it and remove the new BD from the "import" folder. Move it some where else and then do each of your following disks you want to import. Next put all the new BD folders into one folder and have BD_Rebuilder import them all using the "Quickplay" backup under the Mode button.. I usually do a custom size of 50,000 MB's and have it import them all and test the playback after it finishes creating the new BD_Folder. After I check that all the episodes and names are correct I move the folder else where and have BD_Rebuilder compress it down to a 25GB BD-R. Hope this helps.

ISSUES with AQUAMAN as well: Probably not a bug, having issues with Aquaman 1080. Im not even using the atmos stream but the DTS-HD 5.1. It rips fine watched to make sure full 2hrs 23 min there at 26GB (BTW titles with "full movie" are 2 and 222, DVDFAB chose 2) however i usually put my stuff on BD25, so im used to doing this, literally done it 500+ times. Anyway, i think it may be a tsmux issue? Because both BDrebuilder & tsmuxer gui reencode it "successfully" but always cut off at same point at 2 hour, cutting off end of movie and reports no errors, issues. With tsmuxerGUI its says successful even though its 82.5%. BDrebuilder behaves like normal success except movie is at cut at 2hr mark as well. Use X264 LAVF, custom target 23866MB (like i always do), BD25fast encoding option. I'll admit it's been a year or more since ive ripped/reencoded on a regular basis, now like 2-3 a year. Missing something simple I forgot about?

BTW the workfiles look correct size 20.6gb VID_00018.AVS.264 and around 1.5 gb DTS, so I think around restructure/remux somethings happening.

(PS output files aren't on FAT drive btw hahaha)

I'll try to rerip it even though i watched the original rip and it played fine, if there's any input in the mean time great :)

Pointing to the "title" is indeed correct. I just did it by copying over the VIDEO_TS directories into two separate directories and BDRB showed me all of the videos on the discs, allowing me to select which ones I wanted to keep. I then imported those.

How did you copy over the VIDEO_TS directories? You have to have a DVD decrypter program running.

Well hopefully you didnt just got it to work, i checked do not convert DTS to AC3 and it worked (and reripped). Of course I generally use AC3 to save space for better video quality on BD25, So basically the rip was bad but not visibly noticeable or the audio stream DTS HD 5.1 (not atmos 7.1) didnt like converting to ac3, but didnt tell me it didnt like it.

Sorry to post in this "beta bugs only" thread but I respect yins guys and just have to think someone in this thread must know: in a 3D disc that apparently branches to 2D also, is 2D PQ or AQ compromised in any way?

As Sharc said, there is no quality issue.
If playing 2D version playlist uses base view
If playing 3D version (different) playlist uses base view and SSIF folder for 3D view

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

Yep, that is correct.

Pointing to the "title" is indeed correct. I just did it by copying over the VIDEO_TS directories into two separate directories and BDRB showed me all of the videos on the discs, allowing me to select which ones I wanted to keep. I then imported those.

How did you copy over the VIDEO_TS directories? You have to have a DVD decrypter program running.

Well, I guess I was doing something dumb, though I didn't realize it at the time. When I use BD Rebuilder, I make a new folder called 'new folder' that I put in the same directory as the original title, so I don't get mixed up about which files belong to which movie. I guess that BD Rebuilder saw this empty folder and thought it didn't contain any DVD files and gave me the error message. I just tried it with removing the empty folder, and it worked.

Thanks for all your help.

Hi Jdobbs time ago I asked how to encode some MKV movies to a one BD/25 BD50 with some menu so I can select the movie

You told me this:

1. Put the files into a folder together and name the folder (the name you want for your BD).
2. Use the IMPORT function from the FILE menu.
3. Choose the files you want to import.
4. Edit the popup list to give each the name you want on the menu.
5. Import. This will create a pseudo-BD to use for input.
6. Choose an output size -- and run a full backup.

You will end up with a BD structure that can be burned to a disc that matches your selected output size.

There are other options you can use, such as choosing a background, background sound, fonts, colors, etc.

I so appreciate it I follow every step but I just can´t find the menu option, I mean, I do the 5 step and 6 step and it create the BD50 but in any moment I so the menu option

I tried to played with PowerDVD but it do nothing, I tried too DVDfab player and it shows me just stars but nothing to do, all I wish to know is how to access and edit this Pseudo menu that I can´t find?

please excuse me my Egnslih is not my first language

Edit: Finally I find in settings the Quick settings but like I sayd both player on computer just can´t play it, in a fact can´t show me the menu, I just tried the disc on my Bluray device and works perfectly, but obviously I so wish to change the wallpaper and the font size and colors but I can´t find that options, where are they? and if you don´t mind could you recommend some player for Windows so I´ll can reproduce with menus? Powerdvd can´t show me nothing, DVDfab player same

[HandiA]

Follow up. Any Ideas what's causing the error?

[MrVideo]

There isn't a GUI dialog box where menu stuff is modified. It is all done via the configuration INI file. As a side note, you cannot change the font size. It is fixed. You can change the font family and the colors involved for a non-selected and selected menu item. You can't select the color when you hit enter on the remote to play the selected menu item.

If the first pass pseudo BD structure fits on a BD25, there is no need to do the backup. That avoids a re-encoding of the files, which adds errors to the encoding. The fewer the encodings the better.

Here are some specific items to change/add in the config file:
IMPORT_THRESHOLD=n n = Threshold size (in minutes), default=15, of BD/DVD titles listed for IMPORT selection
MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=s s = YELLOW/BLUE/GREEN/RED/PURPLE/WHITE, Color of active text in menu, default is GREEN
MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR=n n = Custom RGB color. Example: 0x40FF40 (hexadecimal: BBGGRR) or 4259632 (decimal)
MENU_FONT=s s = Any legal font name supported on your computer. Font used for Quick menus. default=Arial
MENU_FONT_BOLD=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", then the selected menu font is set to boldface
MENU_FONT_ITALIC=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", then the selected menu font is set to italic
MENU_FORCE_QUICK=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", create Quick menu even for only one play item
MENU_HORIZONTAL=n n = 0-1919 - Offset from left of 1080p screen for QP menu item selection area (16 items/page max)
MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR=s s = YELLOW/BLUE/GREEN/RED/PURPLE/WHITE, Color of inactive text, defaults to subdued white
MENU_ITEMS_PAGE=n[,n...]n = Items for each page of a quick menu/import. 4 page example: MENU_ITEMS_PAGE=13,5,12,8
MENU_TOP=n n = 100-910 - Offset from top of 1080p screen for QP menu item selection area, default = 200
MENU_VERTICAL=n n = 100-910 - Same as MENU_TOP - if both are used, MENU_TOP has priority
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=n n = minimum size (in minutes, default=15) for a playlist to be a movie-only choice

*A specific color RGB may also be specified such as 0x40FF40 -- see MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR,
For MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR: "SAME" is a subdued version of MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR.
Always, I repeat always, burn to a BDRW disc to check that things are the way you want, so you don't end up creating coasters. Also, if you do use the pseudo BD structure, this makes sure that the imported MKV files are playable via your Blu-ray player. Not all MKV H264 included videos are encoded correctly, making them not Blu-ray player compatible. If they won't play, then you must run the Backup pass to fix that issue.

Thank you very much and about encoding I have my mkv movies that the size almost 18gb each one, so I was thinking if I encode maybe three movies to a BD50 and then reencode to BD25 I´ll get the same quality or similar that if I encode a movie BD50 to BD25 just like when I use BD rebuilder?

As an example I´m trying this with the three movies just to BD25 for see what happens

- Input BD size: 44.78 GB
- Approximate total content: [04:27:18.355]
- Target BD size: 22.95 GB

[MrVideo]

IMHO, the best quality will be achieved by using 2-pass encoding. It will take longer, but I think you'll appreciate the results.

[jdobbs]

If the first pass pseudo BD structure fits on a BD25, there is no need to do the backup. That avoids a re-encoding of the files, which adds errors to the encoding. The fewer the encodings the better.This assumes that the imported MKV files are Blu-Ray compliant. In my experience the vast majority of MKV files are not, and trying to keep them intact will lead to a lot of wasted time and frustration. I would recommend you plan to ALWAYS reencode unless you have created the MKV files yourself from original blu-ray (or DVD), and they have not been reencoded anywhere in the process.


[Edit] Just a side note -- there are also DVD formats that are not BD compliant, but they are rare enough (almost nonexistent) that you can pretty much ignore that worry.

[MrVideo]

It would be great if BDRB would spit out an error and stop when the following can't be found:
MENU_FONT
MENU_FONT_BOLD
MENU_FONT_ITALIC
The above three should be checked when the program is started, when a config is loaded and when it is changed within the program.

I've just discovered that I typoed a font name as "Gothis" instead of what it should be: "Gothic"

Thanks

Hi Guys I doing a copy of my Bluray disc that I have on my collection, just in case because last week I lost several Bluray movies but as I usually do time ago I make a copy from each of them (thank you Jdobbs for that) and another many I just make an MKV with audios and subtitles all just like the Bluray movie contain

So, the think is in my country the Bluray blank disc is very expensive so I wish to pass this MKV movies to a another MKV but this time can get some small archive and with BD rebuilder I tried with 1920x1080, intact audio with CRF setting to 20, all I wish to know is what number of CRF do you recomend for get the best quality maybe I can get but smaller archive?

And I can see there´s an option for encoding the audio to AAC, if I do that, there´s a way to recover from this AAC to the original audio?

Thank you in advance guys!!

What do you mean by "original audio?" Provide examples of types of what you have in the MKV files. For original Blu-ray discs, the audio will the lossless type. DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD.

When creating the MKV files, if you kept the original lossless audio, you will not be able to get that back if you convert to AAC. Even if you kept the lossy core when converting to MKV, converting that to AAC will cause the audio to be even lossier. Especially if you try and go back to DTS or DD. In other words, don't convert to AAC.

Thank you very much for your recomendation, and about the CRF what number to put there?

All this is because I have on my disc several MKVs that previously I make the backup but my budget don´t let me to buy so many Bluray disc, so that MKVs like I said I wish to keep in that way (no problem with that) but if there´s is some option for reduce the size (I know I´ll get less quality than the original) but I have to be there some CRF number so I´ll can keep the most quality as possible?

I mean, in few words? I need this MKVs with the best quality that I can get but reduce the size

And if the MKV I can see some have DTS HD or DTS MA and I don´t need that because I don´t have a system audio, previously eventually I´ll convert that DTS MA to a DTS Core so I can get more video quality

Thank you for your pacience and I know now not AAC but know what CRF will helping me

[MrVideo]

Video quality is subjective. It is what you'll tolerate.
And if the MKV I can see some have DTS HD or DTS MA and I don´t need that because I don´t have a system audio, previously eventually I´ll convert that DTS MA to a DTS Core so I can get more video quality
I suggest telling BDRB to keep the core, so that it can attempt to figure out the best bitrate.
Thank you for your pacience and I know now not AAC but know what CRF will helping me
I do all of my video encoding outside of BDRB. When I do that, I set the bitrate, not the CRF and use 2-pass encoding. Be sure and tell BDRB to use 2-pass. So, unfortunately I cannot suggest a value.

Are the discs you are attempting to make BD-ROM, i.e., they contain MKV files, or are you making BD discs with a menu? If you are making a disc with menus, then the files on the disc are not MKV, but M2TS. I don't think that BRDB can make BD-ROM discs with MKV files.

Whatever you are using as a source, you should not use MKV, or M2TS, files that have been previously encoded from the original Blu-ray discs. The process of recoding the recoded video will result in added encoding errors. You need to go back to the original Blu-ray discs and work from there.

First Thank you Mrvideo for your big pacience with me I really appreciate it

About MKVs each one without nothing, just the movie

And I really want to do that you´re saying I mean, the 2-pass encoding so far I know that option taking the static or ...I don´t know exactly the word, I mean that scenes where is not action or big movements and doesn´t take the same biltrate that the scenes that contains fully action etc and that one need the most biltrate so Bd rebuilder assign dependeing of that scenes the biltrate and decides the final size?

Or I´m wrong with that?

If it is correct how to know what number to put on the first pass and sencond pass?

BDRB doesn't decide what bitrate to apply to various scenes. The x264 encoder does that via the two passes. What BDRB supplies is the resulting target to shoot for, be it a particular bitrate, etc. I personally supply a target bitrate. The CRF is used to target quality, for which the bitrate the computed. JDobbs can better explain what his thinking is for what he does.
If it is correct how to know what number to put on the first pass and second pass?
The same number is used for both. The final result would be screwed up if the value was changed between passes.

Been forever since I used this, since my PC died. Now I installed to another and can't recall--how do I set BD-RB so that it does only extraction and remuxing? I just want to keep the original BD's video and audio without any compression or other alterations. Using Movie-only mode if that's important.

Thank you gonca! I might never have found this on my own! :D

FORCE_NOENCODE=n n = 0/1 - if set to 1, BD-RB will always use original video (sizing will not be checked)

[gonca]

Don't forget to make sure that the audio doesn't get encoded
KEEP_HD_LPCM=n
Along with the other audio settings

Do not convert DTS to AC3
Do not reencode AC3
Keep HD audio

[Lowpro]

I'm not sure if I've requested this or not, so I'll just do it, just in case I hadn't.

Allow for more characters in a menu item.

I've run into some show episode titles that are too long. And yet there is plenty of room on the screen, I only ever do a single column. Maybe a hidden menu option:
MENU_NUMBER_COLUMS=0 Max number menu item colums: 0=as needed (default). Setting to 1 will allow for more characters in the menu item. The more columns allowed, the less numbers of characters per menu item.

I'd like to see this as well. Just finished re-authoring each season (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=16459890&postcount=23) of Cheers to Blu-ray.

http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/thumbnails/cheers_s01p01.bmp (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/cheers_s01p01.bmp)

Had to shorten a number of episode names due to the character limit. Well, I like to include the broadcast date for each as well. Would love to see the character limit increased. There's certainly plenty of screen real estate for it.

Hi guys I trying to pass my MKVs (that previously pass from BD50 to MKV 264 with MakeMKV) and the thing is when I play this MKVs encoding with alternate movie HEVC intact resolution the movie present some problems like codec or something because when I play on my TV I see some think like green pixels and another thinks just like when the movie is bad, and just for see what happens I tried with Handbrake and it do the job and I can see without problems but Handbrake for some reazon eliminate the lower and upper black bars so I watch in full screern, I want to use BD Rebuilder but I dont know what the image is bad?

What's your ultimate goal? Why not just start from scratch? Backup the original Blu-ray disc again, then use BDRB selecting the type of output that you want.

[Blurayhd]

I just can´t believe I missed it I mean if I got you, you´re mean I can use the original disc that I can pass to some folder on disc and encode to MKV directly (thank you buddy, really)

But like I said before dear lowpro, weeks ago I lost serveral original Bluray disc from my collection, but months ago I decided to start to check the disc, see the surface etc and the mostly of those I lost I did an MKV backup from the principal movie, because that I have several MKVs movies collection that are taking serveral space on hard disc and I need it. Besides in my country buy a Bluray blank disc is very expensive and considering that movies are in MKV all I wish to know is how to do for reduce the size (I know, I´ll lost quality) but the less possible I can keep

I appreciate your pacience and thank you for read this Lowpro I really don´t have any intention to disturb, all I wish is to know

[AmigaFuture]

I think it's not a bug, but maybe it is? Has anyone else notice this? I've noticed it before with movie discs and I just went ahead and converted all I wanted to MKVs to imported and create a new disc.. I'm processing a TV Episode BD and an extra is possible to be blanked or not. I have it set to not be. So it should be processed, which it does. The processed output has the .M2TS, but when I played back the BD comes right back to that part of the menu without playing the M2TS. When I open the processed directory with BD-RB it sees the playlist, and will still preview the video.

[MrVideo]

@AmigaFuture: I'm confused. Why are you taking a BD, converting to MKVs and then creating a new BD? If your goal is to do a backup of the BD50 to a BD25, do just that, a backup. No need to go to MKVs first.

[AmigaFuture]

I did that. The extra doesn't play when a new BD-50 is made. But...after further checking, there's something "not right" with the file.. I can make an MKV of it, and have BD-RB import it, but even that doesn't play with PowerDVD 12 or my newer LG player. I'm doing more checking into what's happening.

[Blurayhd]

please excuse me guys there´s some way to fix that problem that show you on http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1875190&postcount=28513

Maybe I have to change some codec? I don´t know what to do

The only way I could get it to function with the menu correctly was to rerender outside of BD-RB and place the original M2TS.

[MrVideo]

The M2TS that BDRB initially creates is 29.97. After running it thru the movie mode that creates MKV files, it is now listed as variable frame rate at 59.94, original 29.97. I then manually took the M2TS file and ran it thru my script that converts TS files to MKV (using mkvmerge) and it too came out variable frame rate, 60.666 in this case. I then took the original M2TS file and converted it to MKV and got the 59.94 frame rate. Next, I created the MKV via VideoReDo and all was well. Lastly, I made a new M2TS via tsmuxer and then created a MKV via my script. Variable frame rate - 59.94.

The cure... run the M2TS file through VRD. But, you lose the subtitles doing that. You might be able to use tsmuxer to take the video from the VRD MKV and mux it with the other streams from the original.

Needless to say, that M2TS file from the BD is weird.

[AmigaFuture]

Needless to say, that M2TS file from the BD is weird.

Yup! I have not come across that before. I wonder if that was the intent of the mastering? I used HandBrake to rerender it. I prefer to keep the PGS.

[Lowpro]

I have a question about the below option.

MENU_BACKDROP_AUTOSIZE=n n= 0/1 - 0=Off (default), if set to 1, the menu backdrop automatically sized to match items.

In cases where the menu contains 2 pages I'd prefer to not have the menu backdrop automatically size to match the items as shown below.

http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/thumbnails/cheers_s01p01.bmp (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/cheers_s01p01.bmp)

http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/thumbnails/cheers_s01p02.bmp
(http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/cheers_s01p02.bmp)
My preference would be to set a fixed width for the Menu Backdrop that carries over from page to page. (I would have then updated my backdrops so that the "Episode Selection" graphic was centered over the Menu Backdrop.) Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to set the width you want for the Menu Backdrop? I don't see a MENU_BACKDROP_SIZE setting. If I set MENU_BACKDROP_AUTOSIZE to 0 how is the width of the backdrop determined? Does it set the width based on the longest title name, then using that width from page to page? That would certainly work, but it would be nice to also have the option of setting the Menu Backdrop width ourselves.

And on an unrelated note, the item navigation with respects to the PREV and NEXT buttons is sort of backwards if you ask me. When moving down from the last title displayed the PREV button is highlighted. When moving up from the first title displayed the NEXT button is highlighted. Shouldn't that be the other way around? Also, if a menu only consists of 2 pages it would be nice to have a setting where we could choose whether or not to include the PREV button, i.e. "MENU_PREV=n n=0/1 - 0=Off (PREV button not included), 1=On (default, PREV button included)". Just a thought.

Actually, when there are only two menus, there is only one logical choice for the PREV/NEXT. For page one, the only choice (going up or down) should be NEXT, as page 2 is the next menu. If you are on page two, the only logical choice is PREV, as page one is the only choice and it is the previous menu. Only the single choice, not multiple.

For multiple page menus, going up the list, i.e., to a lower number, should result in PREV being the default choice, and if going down the list, to a higher number should result in NEXT being the default choice.

For multiple page menus, going up the list, i.e., to a lower number, should result in PREV being the default choice, and if going down the list, to a higher number should result in NEXT being the default choice.

A two page menu only needs one button for page navigation. That was the main motivation behind my suggestion and yes I agree, a "Next" button on Page 1 and a "Prev" button on Page 2 would be best. I'd still be fine with a single button on both pages labeled "Next" though. Would probably be less coding involved to offer an option excluding the "Prev" button. Again though, I do agree. A "Prev" button on Page 2 would clearly call out that there's no Page 3 and that you'd be taken back to Page 1. For a menu with 3 pages or more you'd want both "Prev" and "Next' buttons as it is now naturally.

And to be honest, I'm fine with "Prev" and "Next" buttons for 2 page menus. Yes it's redundant, but I'm fine with it. I'd just love to see the button navigation changed. If I move down from the last title button it should highlight the "Next" button. If I move up from the first title button it should highlight the "Prev" button.

About that, I wonder if BDedit could be used to implement that after the fact. I use BDedit after the fact to change what episode is highlighted after a title finishes playing and I'm taken back to the menu. BDRB has the next title in the list highlighted. I prefer for the title I just finished watching to still be highlighted just as is the case if I go back to the menu during the given episode. It's just my preference. Very easy to implement in BDedit. Perhaps changing the button navigation with respects to the "Prev" and "Next" buttons could be done from BDedit as well. Not sure.

It isn't my preference. When I test my discs, I want the next title to be highlighted so I can just do a single click to play it. I go through all of the chapter marks to make sure they are right. The last one is a second from the end, so it goes back to the menu at the next video.

So, it would require a new configuration option to do what you want.

Call me a control freak I guess. Don't mind the extra navigation step. If an item is highlighted in the menu I want to always know it's highlighted, because I highlighted it. :-P

Hi guys Let me tell you, I love BD rebuilder (Thank you Jdobbs!!) but I need to do reencodes with a lot of movies that I have on my collection, this movies are in MKV because as I told before (and it still makes me suffer) I lost several Bluray original disc, special editions etc) but time ago just in case I did with Makemkv a perfect copy of the most Bluray

So, I need the space on my hard disc and I have to reduce de size but keeping quality as possible, and for do that first all tracks that was DTS that I convert to AC3 640kbps and with BD rebuilder last week I tried several times with alternate movie, 1920x1080,intact audio with CRF, 23, 22, 21 etc I reduce various MKV movies to a smaller size , when the original MKV size is 24,6gb Bd rebuilder with CRF 21 reduce the size to 7gb, so I tried with external hard disk watch this movie on my TV and I hear the audio but suddently it get mute (no sound), and the movie some times just freezes, if I do forward I can hear again but seconds later just mute again, and the subtitles tracks that contains the MKV I can select but doesn´t appears on screen!!

So, please don´t angry with me dear Jdobbs like I sayd and still saying I love BD rebuilder but I had to try another software, same movie, MKV, audio tracks etc and I use Handbrake and I tried to watch on tv and all was excelent, no audio problems, and the subtitle appears

Today I return to try with Bd rebuilder because I so wish to use your amazing software but I check again and same problem that I had in first place

I put the log here, please could help me? maybe I have to change something on Bd rebuilder? Maybe on ffdshow?

You aren't doing two-pass video encode and the log says that you are keeping the original audio. I'm not saying that this is the reason you are having issues.

[Blurayhd]

Hi Mrvideo and I want to thank you for helping me so I tell you as you said I don´t doing two pass, so far I know the CRF is just one pass?

And about the audio track yes I keeping the original audio at least in AC3 (the original is DTS but take more space that I not need and I don´t have the sistem for DTS) like I said I keeping in AC3 with the most biltrate possible that is 640kbps

I don´t know why BD rebuilder give me this problems, in few words..

I´m trying to encode a lot of MKV with CRF for decrease the size keeping 1920x1080 and intact audio

When I play the MKV movie that was previously created with BD rebuilder when I watch I see the following problems

1 When I do forward the movie no matter when the sound just get muted if I do forward again and play the sound return but seconds later get muted again

2- In same cases the movie get freezes, I mean, suddently get static just like if you pause the movie and there is not more I can do

3- the subtitle tracks are there, I mean, on screen when I try to select, give me the option for select between the two tracks but when one is selected the subtitles doesn´t appears!!

I don´t know what to do, because that, I just tried that another tool that do the encode without any kind of problems but like I said I want to use as always do, Bd rebuilder but I need to know if anybody can maybe tell me what to do?

Thank in advance

Try unchecking "Keep HD Audio in Set up

Dear Gonca thank you for helping me I just tried that and doesn´t work

I don´t know what to do

[Blurayhd]

I just tried with this too and still have same problem and I know have to be something wrong with BD rebuilder because with others tools I don´t have any problems but like I said I so wish to use BD rebuilder because I trust and for years I only give me faith

I don´t know I really want to thank you all for your pacience, all I need to do is with Alternate movie and CRF option is get a smaller size but the movie seconds later get muted if I do forward the sound returns but seconds later again get muted, maybe I need to select or change something on ffdshow? :-(

Maybe I do have to re install all but there´s some step for install ?

[Ch3vr0n]

Define "gets muted"? You getting a cinavia message code 3 error?

[gonca]

@BlurayHD
Maybe you should try LAV Directshow filters
This is listed as 2A in the setup instructions in the first page

[Blurayhd]

I meant you´re wathing the movie and suddenly silence the sound, no sound and no is not Cinavia. And if I do forward the sound again but seconds later again the same problem

@BlurayHD

I already tried, I downloaded LAV and installed it but still the problem :-(

[AmigaFuture]

@ Blurayhd

I haven't been keeping with the thread as Doom9.org is again not sending Emails. BD-RB and associated programs don't mute the audio in movies. This means your program or some other program is getting in the way. I agree with Ch3vr0n, this comes across as a Cinavia protection. But after using DuckDuckGo.com (I don't rely on Goggle at all...), I noticed this: "I have with the Blu-ray copy of 'Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters' crashing after 5 minutes when I was using PowerDVD 14." Are you using that version of PowerDVD? Or any version of PowerDVD?

[MrVideo]

Hi Mrvideo and I want to thank you for helping me so I tell you as you said I don´t doing two pass, so far I know the CRF is just one pass?
CRF is a quality level, I don't think that stops you from doing a 2-pass encode. That said, I doubt that would be the cause of your issues. Doing 2-pass would help with the quality of the encoding.
And about the audio track yes I keeping the original audio at least in AC3 (the original is DTS but take more space that I not need and I don´t have the sistem for DTS) like I said I keeping in AC3 with the most biltrate possible that is 640kbps
I misunderstood. I thought the MKV wrapped video had DTS-HD audio. Mentioning it, only confused me. Since the MKV source that you are using has AC3 audio, DTS is no longer in the picture.

I have no clue as to what is going on.

[MrVideo]

I haven't been keeping with the thread as Doom9.org is again not sending Emails.
I haven't gotten e-mails in years.
I agree with Ch3vr0n, this comes across as a Cinavia protection.
Nope, it won't be. The movie is a Paramount release and they didn't use Cinavia.

[AmigaFuture]

"I agree with Ch3vr0n, this comes across as a Cinavia protection." I was following all that for a while, what Studio is using what - but it got to be too much..among other technologies and people in my life. But I appreciate note. So, Paramount still has class. HAHA! Anyway, that's also why I looked around some more.

@AmigaFuture thank you for helping me but the problem is not only with this movie, I have the same problem with the six movies that I try watch so far

Of course I tried playing in Windows and no problem, problem is playing in my TV but the problem happens only with MKV movies that I convert with BD rebuilder, if I use another tool like Handbrake I don´t have any issues, any problems, nothing that is why I´m asking for some reazon I get this error, only BD rebuilder

@MrVideo please excuse me my English is not my first like you notice I swear I trying to do my best

About that you said if I undestand well that you ´re saying 2-pass is better than CRF for obtain balance between size/quality?

If that is true could tell me how to use some calculator for use and obtain a number for the biltrate?

And so far I´m using the other tool for encoding in middle time for testing so when I get (I hope) find the problem thanks to you guys with Bd rebulder I´ll use it

Any more ideas dear people I don´t want to disturb you!!

[Sharc]

About that you said if I undestand well that you ´re saying 2-pass is better than CRF for obtain balance between size/quality?

For the same file size (=same average bitrate) CRF and 2-pass produce very much the same quality, with perhaps the exception of extreme cases.

The problem is that you can't predict the filesize with CRF encodes. You could target the desired filesize with repetitive trial-and-error by changing the CRF and see what you get until you end up with the file size you are happy with.
There exists no calculator for calculating the filesize for a CRF encode. BDRB has however the option to predict the CRF for a desired filesize by running a number of repetitive analyzing steps based on snippets of the source. It's accuracy is normally within +/-10%. It can be worse though depending on the source and the snippets.

[MrVideo]

If that is true could tell me how to use some calculator for use and obtain a number for the biltrate?
Programs like DVDFab use some kind of internal calculator to figure out the bitrates to use to get the final size of all the pieces of a 50GB BD release to fit on a 25GB disc. JDobbs also performs some kind of calculation to fit what the user wants on a 25GB disc as well.

Me, when I encode for creating MKV wrapped videos, I just use a bitrate. Normally it is 5Mbps. I'll go a high as 8Mbps, depending on the source and what I want the output for. You can go as low as 4Mbps, 2-pass, and probably not see a difference from the original.

Do us a favor and tell us some of the bitrates of the files you want to re-encode by using MediaInfo.

I plan to restart development of BD Rebuilder soon. I stopped for a while in order to concentrate on another project... and donations (which were rare anyway) pretty much dried up. So I decided a couple months ago that I would put it on hold at least until if I got an unsolicited donation (there had only been a couple this year -- and I decided people just weren't that interested anymore). "thefrog" sent me one today, so... I decided to show some gratitude.

The first priority will be UHD. But, frankly, so far my UHD experience (especially using the combination of X265 and TSMUXER) has been pretty frustrating -- so I expect it will be continue to be a major headache and take some time.

[Ch3vr0n]

Hah i'm still very much interested. Just don't have the financial power to show it. Still use it frequently on 3D disc mainly. With there was a way to do nvidia hw encoding :) So for what it's worth, thx for restarting!

[slimm]

Just sent a little something.

[AmigaFuture]

Not interested!?! I use it often! For BDs and MKVs, and once in a great while MP4. I haven't had any real bugs (in a while) with it other than a funky 480i video, which I found later would have been fine had I allowed it to be IVTC'd by BD-RB. I'm a little strapped also at this time. But very, very, VERY much keenly interested in the development. This is a brilliant project. Okay, other than once in a while - when I'm just not thinking about it, I'm reminded to click on the Backup button more than once for it to start. Then I remember I should get a video of it so you can see; because obviously it hasn't happened for you - or others. But not much interests...Paaaah...Huuumph! I cannot agree that that statement, Sir!! ;-)

Glad you brought this up. I thought I had donated more recently. I was wrong and had very much lost track of time.

[Fogger]

A donation is done.

I am having difficulty in getting a bluray with an aspect ratio of 4:3 converted to 16:9. I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what. I thought it was as simple as checking the option in the settings and making a backup. But that didn't work. Do I have to install ffdshow for this? I now have LAVFilters-0.65 installed.

There are tweaks available (like WIDE_OFFSET), but they will work at default values if you don't change them.

[MrVideo]

Why would you want to stretch a 4:3 image to 16:9? That ultimately creates "short fat people." Even worse, blow up the image and center cut it.

[musiclover]

All you should have to do is check the box in the SETUP dialog. There are tweaks available (like WIDE_OFFSET), but they will work at default values if you don't change them.
I think the fault lies in the source. My source has not a "real" 4:3 ratio as such. It just looks like one. It is 16:9 with black borders. I suppose I have to remove these borders first. Is there a hidden option for that? Or can anyone point me in the right direction?

What is your source really? Does your 4:3 picture look distored? What is the resolution? Upload a sample so someone can have a look.
Blu-ray has restrictions regarding SAR, DAR and resolution, and adding borders for 16:9 DAR may be mandatory.

[MrVideo]

Blu-ray has restrictions regarding SAR, DAR and resolution, and adding borders for 16:9 DAR may be mandatory.
Correct, in order to display 4:3, the pillar-bars must be added, otherwise the 1440:1080 (4:3) will get stretched to 16:9.

As I previously posted, stretching 4:3 to fit 16:9 is horrible. Anyone doing that should be dipped in tar and then feathered. :D

[jdobbs]

Why would you want to stretch a 4:3 image to 16:9? That ultimately creates "short fat people." Even worse, blow up the image and center cut it.It doesn't stretch the picture. It takes a 16:9 segment out of the source and resizes it. So you lose some of the picture above and below the 16:9 window. You'd be surprised how you don't notice the sections that are lost. Sometimes it's better when you use WIDE_OFFSET to take more from the upper part of the original.

I use this sometimes to convert old 4:3 TV shows to 16:9. I typically use WIDE_OFFSET=85 so the centering is biased (by 15%) toward the top of the picture.

When you select this feature BD-RB makes all necessary adjustments and updates the CLPI and MPLS to reflect 16:9. It also sets aspect ratio information correctly when outputting to ALTERNATE formats.

[MrVideo]

You'd be surprised how you don't notice the sections that are lost.
I do notice and I hate it when professionals crop 4:3 to make 16:9. It was originally 4:3, leave it as 4:3.

The stretching mentioned in the response was in regards as to what Blu-ray players do with 1440:1080 material. I originally mentioned the cropping of 4:3 material as well, a couple of my posts ago.

But, that is me.

That should probable be WIDE_OFFSET=0.85 for a 15% reduction. And for the ALTERNATE formats goes that it only works on those where vFormat=7 is active.

[AmigaFuture]

I notice it also. I'm very picky when it comes to visuals and someone not doing it "right". Most people I know don't see a difference with video that is 4:3 and being displayed on 16:9 or like it, like some restaurants have their TVs set to. Normally I don't watch TV when at a restaurants when I'm with someone, disrespect to conversation to me. But you get the idea if you've seen the Off-ness of that. It bugs me a lot to see that kind of funky conversion.

@ MrVideo

"Short fat people"...Uhhhh-huh, funny to see.

But, that is me.An if it had been filmed in 16:9 originally? Would you miss the sections above and below that weren't filmed? What I notice and don't like are those black areas on the left and right of my screen when I play it back in 4:3. You don't miss something that isn't there.

It's interesting how people make a random decision about something like this and decide it is a violation of the laws of nature. Funny, actually.

[MrVideo]

Huh? That doesn't make any sense. If it was shot 16:9, how can you miss anything that is above/below? How about missing more stuff on the right/left to make a 2.40:1 image? No matter how you frame it, there is always more stuff all around what is shot. Whatever resolution was used, that is how it was shot and framed.

Wow, this harks back to the old letterbox complaining days when video tapes and DVDs were released that contained letterbox bars on the top and bottom. People complained that their TV screen wasn't filled with the image. Were you one of those? If it was shot in 4:3, I want all of that 4:3 image on my screen. Pillar bars do not bother me. If letterbox bars do not bother you, why should pillar bars?

Sigh... you seem to also be an expert at missing the point.
Then you didn't make your point very plain.

You didn't respond to my comment about letterboxing. You can't be OK with one and not the other.

Whatever aspect ratio it was shot in should be the aspect ratio that is displayed. If you want to view 4:3 as 16:9, without stretching, then use the zoom control on your TV to blow up the 4:3 to fill the screen.

Let me add this: You'd be very happy to take a great movie classic, like Gone With the Wind, and crop the top & bottom in order to fill your 16:9 screen.

[jdobbs]

@cartman0208

That problem sounds vaguely familiar. I got a couple donations this month. I'll pick up a copy of Aquaman and give it a try. Can you post your settings (from BDREBUILDER.INI) so I can make sure we're on the same page?

[jdobbs]

@MrVideo

There's a considerable difference between "Gone With The Wind" and watching some old episodes of "The Brady Bunch". Let's agree to disagree.

[MrVideo]

To me it is all one and the same. I don't think that the producers of The Brady Bunch will appreciate that you, or anyone who does the cropping, thinks that their show isn't deserving of the full 4:3 viewing treatment. :(

But yes, we will never agree on this matter.

No matter how you frame it, there is always more stuff all around what is shot. Whatever resolution was used, that is how it was shot and framed.

MrVideo.. I understand what JD is getting across. It's a challenging one for people whom are hyper analytical and intuitive based, and NOT into "Instincts" at all. As said to my Girlfriend to myself, and myself to her.. Haaa! Maybe this will get across. When you see stuff outside the Camera Eye it's not recorded, and a producer sees those. Attempts to get as much as possible into the shot. S/he knows what's outside of the lines on the Camera..but we Don't...unless we watch the "Making Of". If you're really anal about it all..you can become so fixated on the differences between the resolutions that you miss the content that's actually there.

Wow, this harks back to the old letterbox complaining days when video tapes and DVDs were released that contained letterbox bars on the top and bottom. People complained that their TV screen wasn't filled with the image. Were you one of those? If it was shot in 4:3, I want all of that 4:3 image on my screen. Pillar bars do not bother me. If letterbox bars do not bother you, why should pillar bars?

Not a random decision.

I had a real problem with Letter box and not...for a few years. With Betamax, VHS, and DVDs. When I discovered that Letterbox _actually_ included the entire scene as the maker intended, I was Goooooood...even though I had to look a bit closer. I could "see" everything, not anymore P&S, errmm...stuff anymore.

Nothing is truly random and nothing is pre-planned on a huge level, but for the scope of most people..people R.I.P. and things happen by "chance" and everything is pre-determined. -- When you resize, is what you want still there IN the new size? Or is something cut from the image?

Sigh... you seem to also be an expert at missing the point.

Haha...aren't we all...at times.

To me it is all one and the same. I don't think that the producers of The Brady Bunch will appreciate that you, or anyone who does the cropping, thinks that their show isn't deserving of the full 4:3 viewing treatment. :(

I'd love to be able to take a movie that includes shifting aspect ratios and run it through BD Rebuilder having it reencode the video, so that the end result is a fixed aspect ratio.

An example would be a movie in the 2.40:1 aspect ratio where in just a couple scenes the aspect ratio opens up to 1.78:1. Would love to be able to reencode the video so that the entire film is in 2.40:1 instead, the IMAX portions above and below the 2.40:1 portion being replaced with black bars as is the case with the rest of the film.

I watch movies using a front projector and 150" 1.78:1 projector screen. For aspect ratios north or south of 1.78:1 I mask down to the projected image area with black velvet masking. I'm not interested in leaving unused portions of my projector screen unmasked for the entire length of a scope film because for a couple minutes during the film the aspect ratio jumps to 1.78:1.

Curious to learn how feasible such an option might be for BD Rebuilder or if anyone knows, how I might go about accomplishing the same with other tools out there.

@lowpro
BDRB has the possibility to add avisynth scripts. Assuming your source is 1920x1080, try
crop(0,120,-0,-120) #1.78 to 2.40
addborders(0,120,0,120) #letterbox (mask) for for blu-ray compliance

(It works in avisynth, I didn't try to include it in BDRB)

An example would be a movie in the 2.40:1 aspect ratio where in just a couple scenes the aspect ratio opens up to 1.78:1.
In case you didn't know it, the true IMAX aspect ratio is 1.44:1. That means it is cropped to fit the 16:9 width. If the movie release was done correctly, it would have pillar bars. I'm sure that the executives of the movie studios considered that it would be too jarring to those buying the Blu-ray releases. So, cropping 1.44:1 to 2.40:1 means throwing away a lot of the image. That said, that is what happens when the movie is shown in a regular theater.

I'm currently not a happy camper with IMAX. Both Dark Phoenix and Spiderman: Far From Home are both available in IMAX 3D, which means a larger image (I think). But IMAX, in their stupidity, has decided that my local IMAX theater will not get either movie in IMAX 3D. The local theater management are not happy and have had trouble getting in touch with IMAX to bitch. So, I watched Dark Phoenix in a regular 3D theater and will be doing the same with Spiderman. IMAX will not be getting my money.

Stupid thing is that it really doesn't cost them any extra to ship a 3D HDD to the theaters, as they get the HDDs back. Yes, IMAX still ships HDDs as they do not trust shipping movies via Ku satellite, even though no regular movie has ever had the encryption broken.

I have 2 versions of same movie in UHD and BluRay. And i want to have a UHD version replacing one subtitle by the bluray subtitle.
Can this be done in BD Rebuilder ?
I tried to demux the UHD on BD Rebuilder and got an audio file error. Any other program for demux ?

One issue. I have Close Encounters in 3rd Kind UHD and the original does not play on my Oppo. It does not pass the menu start up. Any software that i can use to check commands,... ?

Ok. Hmm..

Having second thoughts about restarting? :confused:

NO, NO, don't go there..lower "g"..haha.

[jdobbs]

Having second thoughts about restarting? :confused:No. I'm working on it now. I don't want to post a new version until I have a significant improvement in UHD processing.

Thanks!Are you able to receive PayPal donations nowadays?

[jdobbs]

Are you able to receive PayPal donations nowadays?No, unfortunately. They've blacklisted me (unfairly I might add) forever. I argued that nothing in BD-RB and DVD-RB violates their policy until I was blue in the face -- but I might as well have been arguing with a stop sign. It still says "stop" no matter how legitimate your disagreement might be.

jdobbs are you working on BDRB to do UHD too, and how do you accept donations now?

Thanks

[Ch3vr0n]

Yes, and click the donate button inside brdb. It'll tell you how (last time i checked it was amazon gift cards)

[jdobbs]

Sorry for the delays in releasing the next version... but with these crazy long UHD encode times, it takes forever to do testing of changes.

You have nothing to be sorry for......we appreciate your time and effort to make BD Rebuilder better. If you need any assistance, please say so. I have two Ryzen 7 systems that are very good at encoding videos.

I'm having problems with Sin City, movie only. It may have to do with a feature called Cine-Explore. When I play the .mkv file it plays the movie but also displays comic book pages during the movie, I think its a feature that can be turned on while playing the blu-ray, may be part of the Cine-Explore option. When I play the blu-ray movie with no added features it just plays the movie, thats what I want, just the movie with out the Cine-Explore features. I've encoded both playlists but I get the same result.

@meadrocks

The algorithm to find the main feature is pretty good, but there is no flag anywhere that says "Pick me, I'm the one.". So BD-RB probably selected the wrong playlist. It's rare, but it happens. Just go to the MODE menu and select "Other Movie-Only Playlist", and pick a different playlist.

I've tried both playlists, same output.

[jdobbs]

Don't know how that's possible -- there has to be a playlist for the movie. Are you positive you tried both?

[gonca]

I've tried both playlists, same output.
Did you try a playlist that is 2h 4min long

[meadrocks]

There are only 2 playlists. Both playlists are 1:53 in length.

[gonca]

According to IMDB the movie is 2h 4min
My disc has the same run time
You must have a different version

[varekai]

There are only 2 playlists. Both playlists are 1:53 in length.
Try BDInfo, maybe you'll get some other playlist results?

Can anyone recommend a free site that can host file downloads? I'll be posting another version of BD-RB soon, but (due to a need to reduce expenses) I've had to start hosting my website on my local server (rather than a commercial hosting site). It's fine for hosting a website... but downloads will be very limited in speed.

Thanks, BZeeme, you're a life saver.Happy to report I think I have killed that last UHD bug (it was complex as hell to find -- but easy to fix once I put my finger on it). Of course you never know what others will find when you go public... but I'm moving forward at least.

Can anyone recommend a free site that can host file downloads? I'll be posting another version of BD-RB soon, but (due to a need to reduce expenses) I've had to start hosting my website on my local server (rather than a commercial hosting site). It's fine for hosting a website... but downloads will be very limited in speed.

Yeah "Free forever!" and no ads, one can only assume that they allow some sort of data mining perhaps, though I dunno how that might be worse than any other data mining vulnerability.

Happy to report I think I have killed that last UHD bug (it was complex as hell to find -- but easy to fix once I put my finger on it). Of course you never know what others will find when you go public... but I'm moving forward at least.This is great to hear. And very nice work :D

[jdobbs]

Probably won't post today... testing is going slow.

Yeah "Free forever!" and no ads, one can only assume that they allow some sort of data mining perhaps, though I dunno how that might be worse than any other data mining vulnerability.I played with it a little and then threw up my hands and gave up. I'd upload a zip file (for downloading)... and 30 seconds later it would disappear. I guess it's alright if all you want to do nothing but web display... but it sure didn't like my trying to post a file for downloading.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD Rebuilder. Changes for this release:- Added muxing routines that remux HEVC
UHD M2TS files, recover lost frames, and
corrects TSMUXER timing issues. Please
remember that UHD capability is still
under development and may need further
work.
- Corrected an error in which imported input
files that have SRT files muxed in a
format other than sequential might set
languages incorrectly or even fail during
output to ALTERNATE formats.
- Corrected an error in which attempts to
extract HEVC secondary streams could
cause BD-RB to fail.
- Added a check during start-up that will
prevent a "Runtime Error 52" issue when
some network or other paths previously
specified are not reachable.
- Made changes that correct audio sync
issues when outputting to UHD-BD.
- Created a workaround for issues in which
the combination of X265 and TSMUXER can
cause stutter issues at higher bitrates.
- Added hidden option FIXED_BITRATE which
is similar to FIXED_CRF. If set, the
source will be reecoded at that bitrate
and any output sizing control is removed.
- Corrected an issue that could result in
audio sync problems after reencode of
certain imported sources.
- Corrected an issue in which imported SRT
files that start at offset 0 could, under
certain conditions, clear the first spoken
subtitle.
- Fixed an issue in which the ALTERNATE_BLURAY
hidden setting was allowing long keyint
sequences (outside bluray compatibility).
This can be overridden by turning it off or
setting a fixed vKeyint value in the
ALTERNATE.TXT preset being used.
- Added code to perform MPA to AC3 conversion
during DVD import. MPA is not supported in
BD format and was previously ignored.
- Added OGG Vorbis as a legal audio format for
imported video files (converted to AC3).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE
to the latest release (r2969).
- Updated the included version of X265-64.EXE
to v3.1+1 10 bit version.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
NOTES:
1. DOLBYVISION is not yet supported.
2. All UHD code is still experimental.

A special thanks to cartman0208 for hosting the download link and making it available at a much improved speed.

If you are planning to do some tests of UHD on this version, you might find it useful to change your encoder settings to VERY GOOD and ONE PASS (ABR) for tests. That will lower quality -- but speed encoding up considerably for testing.

I tried to use it on UHD Age of ultron, but it stopped at the end with buffer oveflow.
I used the option UHD_LIMIT_ENCODE=1, was because of that?I don't think so... but I can't be sure. When BD-RB is remuxing the HEVC into to a new M2TS to replace the one created by TSMUXER, it allocates a large buffer to hold information as it collects it for output. That error means that the buffer limit has been reached (which should never happen).

The odds are that it is a bug in my muxing code I will have to hunt down.

The odds are that it is a bug in my muxing code I will have to hunt down.Actually, after thinking about it... it could very possibly be from that hidden option. I made a lot of changes to the UHD code, and didn't give a lot of thought to that option. I'll do some testing and see.

[cartman0208]

I've never noticed before, and I'm sure, this has nothing to do with the new version, but when I select target output size BD-9 or BD-5, the stream list is a lot longer than when target size BD-25 or custom is selected.
Is that intended?

[jdobbs]

Is that intended?Yes.

BD-RB sets a minimum size limit video files for reencoding. The reason is that many video files on the disc are so small that reencoding them will have no meaningful impact on the overall video quality of the disc. Reencoding them is, essentially, just a waste of time. So they are kept intact and transferred to the newly encoded disc.

But...

When you decide to output to a DVD disc (BD-5/BD-9), reencoding them is no longer an option -- it is a requirement. Blu-Ray discs have a higher maximum bitrate than DVD, and almost all BD video is encoded at a variable rate that uses that maximum (or somewhere in its neighborhood). That bitrate would exceed the transfer rate of the DVD disc/device and would cause stutter or possibly even failure during playback on a BD-5/9.

So when choosing BD5/9, BD-RB has no choice but to reencode everything in order to ensure it meets the lower maximums required by DVD media.

[cartman0208]

Makes sense
:thanks:

With BD-25 media as cheap as it is, why destroy video quality by burning to DVD media?

@ MrVideo

DVD is still in the minds of people before Blu-ray players. I talk with people in stores. People looking for interesting new ideas, products..but as cool as BD resolution is, the prices are still high [to them]. Often I also still hear, "I don't see any difference." "Some kind of fancy Upper scaling or something like that?" So, it's DVD players that are bought...lots and lots where I live. Some people come to my residence and get to see Blu-ray in action, and then I go into some depth with them, displaying DVD vs Blu-ray..since a lot of movies came/come with both. The hype does not exceed the people's understanding in this area. It takes a while for minds to change and venture.

When you're around this stuff a lot, you can alter your awareness that not everyone is keenly into newer tech or willing to spend the money on it. Particular "belief systems" are still dominant around the world, though we know so much more now...and meditation is very helpful to the mind, but that's also...still slow to catch on.

I have friends who also have Blu-ray players but only buy DVDs "For now. Maybe some time I'll get into Blu-ray, but DVDs are still a lot cheaper."

[jdobbs]

But, on the other hand, the post being discussed was about creating BD-5/9 output on DVD media. That won't play on a DVD player, it requires a BD player.

When I first created BD-RB a blank DVD-R was a lot cheaper than a blank BD-R. These days BD-R media has gotten so cheap that there rarely is a need to create a BD-5/9. But that's in my little world in my little section of the planet -- so it's still supported to make sure I cover all bases.

[MrVideo]

But, on the other hand, the post being discussed was about creating BD-5/9 output on DVD media. That won't play on a DVD player, it requires a BD player.
I don't remember for sure if it is the old (not connected) Sony player, or the Samsungs that I have, but the player refused the BD authored DVD disc because it wasn't on BD media. So, creating a BD5/9 doesn't mean that your BD player will play it.

My Samsung player refused to play DVD5/9 which played fine with my old SONY player (BDP-S360), so I had to re-author these for BD25, putting 3 to 4 BD5 on one BD25 using BD-RB.
I didn't try strict AVCHD on BD5/9 as there was no cost advantage any more.

Yeah, that looks like the problem. I don't know why the program is evidently inserting the extra forward slash. I'm not doing it, at least knowingly. Is there any way to specify the directory tree in BD-Rebuilder?

Can you post the .META file for this job and also for one of the seamless branching titles that failed?

[84lion]

Sorry for my stupidity...where is the .META file located? If it's in the WORKFILES folder...unfortunately, I deleted that since I needed the space.

I'll try re-ripping Hulk. The file I was using was a rip to an outboard hard drive that I copied over to the hard drive on my computer. It's possible that in the copying process that the file got corrupted.

Finally, I'll check to make sure I have the TSMUXER version you specify in the initial post of this thread. If it hasn't changed since 60.04 then it should be the same.

The problem with debugging these UHD reports is that even if I know the disc name, I have no way of getting my hands on them so I can try to repeat/fix the problem.

Hi jdobbs i got the same error doing AQUAMAN i played the movie even though it didnt finish it and in properties it show the DV when i played it Video: HEVC 3840x2160 23.976fps [V: hevc main 10 L5.1, yuv420p10le, 3840x2160] Video: HEVC 1920x1080 23.976fps [V: hevc main 10 L5.1, yuv420p10le, 1920x1080] so i dont know if that means its keeping the DV too

[MrVideo]

I don't know why the program is evidently inserting the extra forward slash.
It is a backslash. As noted, tsmuxer inserts those and the OS is accepting them.

BTW, there is many a time where I see an ad that has a website listed and the announcer says "backslash" instead of "forward slash." :eek:

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using TapatalkAhhh, I see. It confused me because of the actual format called DV (Digital Video) that is common on some video recorders.

@ripem2011

Dolby Vision isn't supported yet. I have a few details on it, but not all that is needed. I probably won't work on it until I have standard UHD processing bug free.

[Ch3vr0n]

And the chance you're going to get them is close to non-existent. It's a proprietary format with 0 documentation available. The currently only known program to fully support it is elaborate bytes' clonebd, and it required them to rewrite half the program and add support bit by bit.

You could contact them, maybe they'll be kind enough to tell you what they know.

- Error in attempt to multiplex: MUX_00001.meta
- Can't open file: V:\BDFILES50\WORKFILES\VID_00001_2.AVS.264That error can occur when you are attempting backup of a Dolby Vision source. Dolby Vision isn't supported yet. The .264 file it can't open represents the Dolby data that is muxed separately (as track 4117) in the source. What I guess I should do, at least until Dolby Vision is supported, is pop up a "no can do" message when it is encountered.

[jdobbs]

To those who are getting the "UHD_Correct_M2TS() 00009 8102" error. I have found/fixed at least one cause of it (thanks for the help, zamengo). I'd created an array to hole CPI table data that is collected during the remux of the M2TS (offsets for fast forward, etc). It wasn't large enough for some sources. I'm testing the fix right now and will post as soon as I'm sure it is all good.

[cartman0208]

Is it possible to strip the Dolby Vision data?

[jdobbs]

Is it possible to strip the Dolby Vision data?
Like backup a 3D source as 2D?I could probably convert it to standard HDR10, but I'm not sure yet how to extract the data from that secondary stream. It might just be easier to support it, I don't know yet. The only reason I haven't done it already is that I'm missing some information as to how it is supported (that and the fact that I haven't looked at it in several months). I'll have to go back and review it before deciding what I'm going to do.

[cartman0208]

No sweat, I could do with the "no can do" message until then :)

[SeeMoreDigital]

I could probably convert it to standard HDR10, but I'm not sure yet how to extract the data from that secondary stream. If 'for the purposes of testing', all you need to do is extract the secondary Dolby Vision data stream, the little 'dv-mp4-maker.exe' maker app can do that...

[jdobbs]

If 'for the purposes of testing', all you need to do is extract the secondary Dolby Vision data stream, the little 'dv-mp4-maker.exe' maker app can do that...TSMUXER can extract it easy enough. But I need to be able to interpret it. I don't know how (yet).

Is the source code for 'dv-mp4-maker.exe' around anywhere? That might reveal something that could be used for HDR10 conversion, or maybe even for rebuilding it.

Apparently, from what I gather, a Blu-Ray stream with Dolby Vision stream also includes HDR10....Indeed it does.

I've carried out quite a few Dolby Vision detection tests using my LG television and OPPO UDP-203 playback devices and with most current muxing tools when you mux a HEVC stream with Dolby Vision into the .m2ts or .mkv container, the aforementioned hardware playback devices only detect/trigger the HDR10 layer.

Yes. But, as I said, it depends on how hard it will be to support Dolby Vision directly.
Dolby Vision and HDR10 co-exist in the same stream.
If you omit the DV layer you still have HDR10.

I'm wondeirng if it ever be possible to add hdr10+ metadata based on dolby vision to a stream, this would be somewhat of a game changer for those with hdr10+ TVs. My guess is that it be significantly harder to go in the opposite direction (hdr10+ to dolby vision), but who knows.

I'm not sure how it changes with HDR10+. I don't have an HDR10+ source to dump/study.

Things are changing too fast... it's getting really hard to keep up.

Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are aditional 1080p layers
HDR10 metadata is integrated in the main HEVC

[spotter]

Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are aditional 1080p layers

what Filipe said.

a UHD BluRay with HDR will have HDR in the main HEVC stream, but HDR10+ and dolby vision are additions on top of that to enable more dynamic HDR. The problem is it really depends on your TVs support. Most TVs that support dynamic HDR, only support Dolby Vision, while a few (notably all Samsung's) only support HDR10+. Basically a format war all over again.

It be nice if a mechanism was figured out to reauthor blurays to support both (especially if one can do it wiithout modifying the core HEVC stream), but have no clue if its possible.

[SeeMoreDigital]

I have some Dolby Vision (.ts and .mp4 contained) samples where the Dolby Vision meta-data is embedded within the HEVC video stream. And I also have some Dolby Vision samples where the Dolby Vision meta-data is placed within the .m2ts or .mp4 container as a separate stream.

So far all the Dolby Vision encoded discs I have have their Dolby Vision meta-data placed within the .m2ts container as separate stream.

By contrast, I have a couple of HDR10+ encoded discs and their HDR10+ meta-data is embedded within the HEVC video stream.

If people have some samples they would like testing I'm able to do this...

EDIT: Over on the Blu-ray.com forum there's this List of UHDs that contain Dolby Vision (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=276448) topic, which now contains information about whether the disc has been encoded using MEL (10-bit minimal enhancement layer) or FEL (12-bit full enhancement layer).

Actually..... The newer ranges of Panasonic televisions and UHD players support both Dolby Vision and HDR10+

[spotter]

yes, but not available to US consumers :) I believe many players support both, but its the TV that really matters. The # of TVs that support both is very small (relative to the size of the market).

Sony was able to add Dolby Vision to their TVs, they have no intent to support HDR10+, but I sort of hope they add it if it gets significant market share

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent release of BD Rebuilder (v0.60.20). Changes for this version:- Added code to work around the TSMUXER
error: "Can't parse play list file" which
appears to be associated with certain UHD
MPLS files.
- Fixed an error in UHD audio extraction in
which a "Failed to retrieve audio..."
by TSMUXER message might appear.
- Added steps to audio/video extraction
routines to try several demuxing methods
before declaring failure. Prompted by
TSMUXER issues associated with UHD.
- Fixed an issue that could prevent BD-RB
from keeping originals when size permits
while IVTC_1080P is set -- even when the
source was not 29.97fps.
- Added a check in automatic audio track
selection that prevents a mono or stereo
stream from taking priorty over a multi-
channel source just because it is a higher
priority encoding technology.
- Made numerous changes in order to support
Dolby Vision sources. It needs considerable
testing and feedback, but has progressed
significantly.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.I would appreciate feedback on the Dolby Vision support. I don't have a player or monitor that supports Dolby Vision -- so your comments are the only way I know if it works properly.

[SeeMoreDigital]

yes, but not available to US consumers :) It is indeed sad that Panasonic products are not readily available for you guys over in the US of A (you don't say where you're from by-the-way).

But good news for the two hundred or-so other countries in the world ;)

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent release of BD Rebuilder (v0.60.21). Changes for this release:- Fixed an error that would prevent muxing of
Dolby Vision sources that are multipart and
in which the video is being left intact.
This might also affect non-Dolby Vision
sources that have secondary video streams.
- Fixed an issue that would cause oversizing
when reencoding Dolby Vision sources. The
sizing algorithm was not accounting for the
fixed size of the Dolby Vision track.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

@Michi

Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not syncronized.
Unfortunately that is a TSMUXER error. In the past all reports of that buffer overflow have been the result of a corrupt source. That may or may not be the case when it is handling UHD, I'll have to wait and see. But, the best I can do in this situation is try to find a way around it.

Is "Mary Queen of Scots" a Dolby Vision source? The fact that BD-RB reverted to extracting the video independently means it is already trying to bypass an error by extracting video separately from audio and subtitles. I could make it go one step further and extract the base video first and then the Dolby Vision track. I'd done that in the past with other types of secondary video, but I thought it wasn't necessary for the Dolby Vision track (it almost doubles the extraction time).

Could you post the contents of the "MUX_00001.meta" file at the point at which the demux failed?

[jdobbs]

@Michi

Try downloading this v0.60.22 BDRB.exe executable (https://jammernhilftnichts.de/jdobbs/BDRB.exe), and replacing the one that was provided with v0.60.21. Please report if it fixes the issue you had with "Mary Queen of Scots". If so, I'll put together another zip file and update the download links.

Looking at the code I realized that one of the changes I made probably wasn't one of the smartest things I've done recently.

damn @jdobbs, first no updates in nearly a year (good reason for that though), now over half a dozen in a matter of weeks. You're on a roll! :DI just wanted to get the UHD working... and I figured as long as I had my head in the code I might as well fix everything I can.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD Rebuider (v0.60.22). Changes for this release:- Corrected an error introduced in v0.60.21
that could cause failure during video
extraction on Dolby Vision or other sources
that might have secondary video tracks.
- Updated the included version of X264 to the
latest stable release (r2984).
- Updated the included versions of X265 to
v3.1.2 10 bit version.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Ch3vr0n]

@jdobbs Any chance you forgot to update (Settings)? Just for giggles i ran inspect after updating to .22. Havent changed anything, yet it's reporting x264 & x265 as wrong version

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs Any chance you forgot to update (Settings)? Just for giggles i ran inspect after updating to .22. Havent changed anything, yet it's reporting x264 & x265 as wrong versionI forgot to update the checksum in INSPECT. That's what happens when you go a while without doing updates. I'll correct it in the next release.

On default i got 1day+ :(That's a recommendation for testing, simply to save time. If you're concerned about quality, stay with the defaults.

But, honestly, at the bitrates used for BD-25 and BD-50, you're unlikely to notice much difference. I've been pretty impressed with the quality on the ones I've done using Good/ABR.

By the way -- on my system even Good/ABR takes 13-15h to encode, so I'm envious of your 3-4h.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.60.23). Changes for this version:- Corrected a problem in which Dolby Vision
sources that are reencoded would oversize
during muxing as a result of superfluous
information being kept in the M2TS file.
- Fixed the erroneous "Wrong Version" report
in INSPECT for the new versions of X264 and
X265.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.Not a lot of changes -- but I thought the first one deserved posting as soon as possible, as no one wants to spend a lot of time encoding a disc, just to find it oversized and may not fit on your target disc. BTW, if you still have a Dolby Vision job on your hard drive that oversized, just rebuilding with this new version may get it to within your target.

Oh and @jdobbs did you include your bdrebuilder.ini settings file? Some of my audio encoding were undone (keep hd audio), frameserver switched from DGDecNV to DSS, all subtitles enabled, remove workfiles and output folder undone, keep only bdmv undone, beep removed. And i've also lost the switches to enable blanking mode. Luckily i had and old folder of bdrb still lying around in recycle bin, so just copied it over

Well ... it's whats FREE on my rackmounted Synology in the datacenter ;)
No need for a big CPU or GPU there because I urge everyone who is "plexing" to use direct play

That i9 would be a nice upgrade for the encoding box, but I would need a new board, probably new RAM ... nah ...
Next big expense will be a bigger TV and I'll wait for my company to sort out the 28core Xeons which incidentally fit on my mainboard :D

@jdobbs:
the colorspace in Mortal Engine's extras seems to be different (ITU-R BT.2020 encoded (http://jammernhilftnichts.de/download/encoded.jpg) vs. ITU-R BT.709 original (http://jammernhilftnichts.de/download/original.jpg))
Or is this some side effect of the dolby vision stuff? :confused:
Main movie seems fine.

Oh and @jdobbs did you include your bdrebuilder.ini settings file? Some of my audio encoding were undone (keep hd audio), frameserver switched from DGDecNV to DSS, all subtitles enabled, remove workfiles and output folder undone, keep only bdmv undone, beep removed. And i've also lost the switches to enable blanking mode. Luckily i had and old folder of bdrb still lying around in recycle bin, so just copied it overApparently I did include the INI in the zip file... although I haven't a clue how it got there. That's in a folder that should never had been executed. I'll remove it and post it again.

[jdobbs]

Well ... it's whats FREE on my rackmounted Synology in the datacenter ;)
No need for a big CPU or GPU there because I urge everyone who is "plexing" to use direct play

That i9 would be a nice upgrade for the encoding box, but I would need a new board, probably new RAM ... nah ...
Next big expense will be a bigger TV and I'll wait for my company to sort out the 28core Xeons which incidentally fit on my mainboard :D

@jdobbs:
the colorspace in Mortal Engine's extras seems to be different (ITU-R BT.2020 encoded (http://jammernhilftnichts.de/download/encoded.jpg) vs. ITU-R BT.709 original (http://jammernhilftnichts.de/download/original.jpg))
Or is this some side effect of the dolby vision stuff? :confused:
Main movie seems fine.Is it 2160p? I was under the impression that's supposed to always be BT.2020.

[cartman0208]

Thats what VLC player shows me, when I play one of the original extra files (http://familiepfohl.de/download/mortalenginesextra.jpg)

[gonca]

Can confirm that the extras on Mortal Engines are 4K BT.709, HEVC, 10 bit
There are two discs where the main features are also BT.709

All reauthored und reencoded discs with BD-Rebuilder plays on Sony X800 and Sony X800M2 not complete. The film stops, before the last chapter begin.

This m2ts-files plays on PC complete.

The first picture show 15 chapter and the second only 14 chapter.

[Michi]

The bug is in the mpls-file. the mpls-file is shorter than the m2ts-file.

NOoooo way!! :scared:

The use of cellphones and English removed from Schools to cut costs has helped us look even more illiterate than 50 years ago and lacking punctuation doesn't help. Lower case "i"'s I also cringe about. I have auto-replace disabled with my phone, but I don't use it for fora. Phones are too small for these kind of communication (personal preference), and I really prefer the feel of a real keyboard vs virtual.

Quick question as I'll be testing shortly, if I'm just editing /deleting various previews, etc but keeping menus and streams intact without any re-encoding, will the remuxing retain all the Dolby Vision and other original streams?

Dolby vision support is highly experimental at this time

[lithiumus]

Dolby vision support is highly experimental at this time

Let me ask the question differently... if my goal is to only blank previews and warnings and keep all menus and streams untouched (using FORCE_NOENCODE ) could the Backup process avoid Extracting the streams, deciding there is no encoding, and then Multiplexing? If possible, it would save a lot of processing time.

@lowpro
BDRB has the possibility to add avisynth scripts. Assuming your source is 1920x1080, try
crop(0,120,-0,-120) #1.78 to 2.40
addborders(0,120,0,120) #letterbox (mask) for for blu-ray compliance

(It works in avisynth, I didn't try to include it in BDRB)Thanks. I'll give that a try and yes, I own several movies on Blu-ray (1920x1080) that contain multiple aspect ratios. I'd like to create versions of each where the aspect ratio doesn't change. For example, if the main aspect ratio is 2.39:1 I'd like to mask everything above and below that visible area of the frame during times when the aspect ratio has changed. I don't care what content I lose as a result.

I can confirm this report. Had the same issue with Paul McCartney's "The Space Within US". Also a bluray with VC1.
BDRB v0.60.04 handled it perfectly where newer versions (v0.60.17 - v0.60.19 - v0.60.22 - v0.60.23) did not.
I noticed that as soon as the message "Converting field-based or secondary stream" is shown v0.60.04 goes on to do its work and the newer versions stop working with the error 'ExtractAudioSubs() 00009 2904'.

ok so after reading a post about how DGDecNV is better ( is this the case still ?? ) was using lav 0.74 fine ( i know i know but it seems to work :p ), so decided to give DGDecNV a try, but it fails straight away with failed video encode on all vids that i successfully did with lav ??

First off, it doesn't encode. DGDecNV, along with your compatible nVidia graphics card, is a frame server. The decoded frames are passed to your encoder (x264 by default). Normally the frames are passed via AVISynth, which BDRB uses.

DGDecNV doesn't decode, the nVidia graphics card does that. DGDecNV provides information about each frame to the encoder.

[Lathe]

Just a quickie... (the only kind I know) Is the newer version of BDRB running the very latest x264 version? I remember there were speed/CPU utilization issues where JD was using older x264 versions listed as L-264. Is that still the case or does BDRB run the newest version right 'out of the box', so to speak, and are there still continuing speed issues? Seems like it has been quite a while since we have undressed that issue :)

Hi MrVideo thanks for the reply, im sort of aware its a frame server and doesn't play a part in the quality of the encoding, but read its very accurate?

question is, is it better than lav, DirectShow or frim, does it better serve at not getting out of sync audio ?? why would someone pay to use DGDecNV ? ( other than the person who coded it is charging ) i use madvr so tend to have lav updated

[Ch3vr0n]

because last time i checked (and i could be wrong) DS doesn't support hw acc decoding dgdecnv does. Frim only comes into play (for me at least) when doing 3D backups and the current version included with bdrb does support hw acc decoding and encoding, but it results in severe glitching. Havent tried 1.30 yet that supposedly doesn't have that problem.

[sneaker_ger]

You can use hardware decoding via DirectShow as well (e.g. LAV Video DXVA2 copy-back). DGDecNV has the reputation of being more reliabe, mainly in regard to being "frame accurate (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176231)".

DGDecNV is a decoder/frameserver

[videoh]

so is DGDecNV better than LAV ?? Usually. And maybe sometimes LAV is better. There is no silver bullet. Your use cases rule.

MrVideo is quite right. DGDecNV has always used CUVID/NVDec for decoding. That is not a secret. It's a strength.

And just think, for a small donation you enter the inner circle!

[MrVideo]

From
http://rationalqm.us/dgdecnv/dgdecnv.html
DGDecNV is a decoder/frameserver
It is only a decoder in that it works with your nVidia card to do the actual decoding. It physically does not decode video. If it did, it wouldn't need you to have a nVidia card. It outputs a file that contains information about each frame of the video (DGdecodeNV.dll) and puts that info into a *.dgi file. Then the dgsource portion of the suite uses that file to frameserve each frame of the nVideo decoded video thru whatever program you are using to handle the encoding. In my case, it is AVISynth in conjunction with x264. BDRB also uses AVISynth/x264.

[gonca]

If it didn't use the video card then it it wouldn't be a GPU accelerated frame server
Yes it relies on the raw data from NVDec, but try using that as is
It takes the "frame information" and decodes it so your avisynth can use it
According to you then, the actual decoders are Intel, AMD, and NVidia.
Yet, Avisynth/x264/x265 can't use that decoded video without something else decoding it
Please respond with your usual word games, because I'm out

[MrVideo]

Yes it relies on the raw data from NVDec, but try using that as is

No. Only the nVidia card does the decoding. The DG program looks at each decoded (raw) video frame to provide details about that video frame.

[videoh]

No. Only the nVidia card does the decoding. The DG program looks at each decoded (raw) video frame to provide details about that video frame. Every HW accelerated application uses the GPU for video decoding (leaving aside QuickSync stuff), and so does DGDecNV. Hair splitting over terminology is for losers. And DGDecNV (DGIndexNV + DGDecodeNV) does a heck of a lot more than your incoherent "provide details about that video frame", not to mention the other DG CUDA filters working with DGDecNV. That's why over 15000 users have donated! Not one of them has complained that I call the application a decoder/frame server, until now. ;)

[MrVideo]

Hair splitting over terminology is for losers.
I guess I'm a loser. I've been called worse. :D

I try to do my UHD encodes with 50GB target size. To fit on a 50GB media, the result should be around 45 GB.
But only one of my encodes so far matches that size, all the others are way smaller ...
Source -> encoded
79GB -> 45GB
59GB -> 38GB
74GB -> 43GB this one should be fine
55GB -> 34GB
59GB -> 34GB
88GB -> 37GB
55GB -> 31GB

I keep 2 non-reencoded audio tracks.
I never noticed that much spread on my FHD encodes with 25GB target size.
Did I mess up my settings?

I have noticed this as well. Are you using the "very good" setting or the "high quality" (default) setting? I have done most UHD encodes on "very good" but the few I've done on "high quality" seem to be closer in size to the 50 GB number.

If you're editing and not rerendering use LAV. If you're reencoding I think DGDecNV is faster. Haha, yeah, a license is helpful. HA! You didn't read the Docs.

When import MKV HEVC 2160p, BD Rebuilder recognize as a HEVC 1080p.

After encode and UHD Adjust has done, this keep HEVC 1080p, but the file is 2160p, only the disc structure has this info.

Are you sure you are letting it complete? When TSMUXER creates the structure it marks it as 1080p (because it doesn't support 2160p directly) -- but BD-RB corrects that after the TSMUXER session is completed.

I've imported multiple 2160p sources and haven't experienced what you describe. Are you sure you are letting it complete? When TSMUXER creates the structure it marks it as 1080p (because it doesn't support 2160p directly) -- but BD-RB corrects that after the TSMUXER session is completed.

yep, after encode this keep with 1080p info, when open the encoded disc in bdrebuilder.

Another stranger things that happened, but with a legit 1080p, the CPU use is around 20%, this is a bug ?

I already see this low cpu use in the past, but i don't know how I fix this :(

hi, anyone know how i can run avisynth+ and avisynth260 at the same time, i use avs2dvd with avisynth+ for its MT capabilities but when i install avisynth260 avs2dvd only sees 260 and not the MT version,

thanks
Mike

[MrVideo]

I'm not sure you can because of the same-named DLL file that is installed.

Not really the right thread for this, but check out Universal Avisynth Installer (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1720988#post1720988)

I think its very useful.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent version of BD-RB (v0.60.25). Changes for this release:- Corrected an error in which BD-RB was using
X264 (incorrectly) to reencode UHD sources
when CRF mode was selected, causing rebuild
to fail.
- Added code to better adjust predicted sizing
for sources that use audio bitrates that are
poorly sized due to muxing overhead. This
helps prevent oversizing that causes output
to exceed targets and not fit on media.
- Fixed a bug in which some odd imports may
not reflect necessary resizing in the MPLS
file of the pseudo-BD structure.
- Fixed an error in which FORCE_STEREO_RATE
hidden option was used in prediction calcs
even in multichannel output, causing over-
sizing and target miss.
- Fixed a bug that causes "ExtractAudioSubs()
00009 2904" error when working with VC1
sources.
- Added code to adjust for non-standard frame
rates on imported files.
- Corrected "UHD_Correct_M2TS() 00005 8100"
error that could occur during muxing of
UHD sources.
- Fixed an issue in which imported UHD video
could be flagged incorrectly as 1080p in
the CLPI file.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Sharc]

- Added code to adjust for non-standard frame
rates on imported files.

This seems to have solved the problem which I reported here (https://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1859500&postcount=28205). Thank you :)

Would the (automatic) rotation of .mp4 sources shot in portrait orientation be something for a future release?

Would the (automatic) rotation of .mp4 sources shot in portrait orientation be something for a future release?I'll look at it and see how hard it would be to do. Since most portrait videos are meant to stay that way, though, wouldn't it make more sense to frame them into a landscape backdrop but keep them displayed as portrait?

[Sharc]

Exactly.
Currently the encoded picture is displayed as 1920x1080 landscape, 90 degrees rotated. MediaInfo reports the rotation of the original .mp4 source as 90 degrees. As I understand it, the 1920x1080 picture should be rotated back by 90 degrees (1080x1920), then resized to 608x1080 and finally pillarboxed to 1920x1080 for blu-ray compliance.
Perhaps there is a simpler method?

I got a new error on Spider Man

Try the new version... this error should be fixed. I'm also testing with another release.

[prologic]

I use bdrebuilder these days , to take out unwanted streams , I have been testing the new UHD versions , in its beta stages ..the latest one BD Rebuilder v0.60.23 worked fine on my test , were others failed ..
I picked a movie at random ..Pirates of the carribean - dead mans tales .. took all the unwanted audios, and subtitles out , and it worked fine .. my next test will be blancing out extras .Good work !!!
I also use it very regulary on normal bluray ..

The bug is on all full backups. The m2ts file has the regular length, but the mpls-file is shorter.

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1882347#post1882347

This bug is on all full backups. Since I found this bug, I stopped all testing.That's the part that throws me. The original MPLS is used in a full backup. The only MPLS changes would be if the encode involved resolution change or if it was reencoded to a different format (like VC-1 to AVC). The chapter information, etc, is never changed. I'll go back through the code to make sure... but I'm pretty confident that's the case.

Also, no one else is reporting this issue. I think if the end of the movie was missing people would notice/report it???

A movie-only backup would be different. BD-RB generates the MPLS from scratch in that case.

Are you doing any external editing or modifications?

[Michi]

I made over twenty UHD full backups and all backups have this bug.

[jdobbs]

I made over twenty UHD full backups and all backups have this bug.You never answered my question.

Are you doing any external editing or modifications? Are you involving any software at all beyond BD Rebuilder?

Have you looked at the original discs in the same way (by looking at the MPLS time and the M2TS time)?

[Edit] I'm also not sure you should trust what TSMUXER reports when it opens an MPLS. I tried a disc with a 2 (or so) hour movie that are reported as 16 hours long -- and has a filename glitch in the reporting. I looked at another where there is a discrepancy of a minute between the time of the M2TS and the MPLS. Both of those are original discs, not processed ones! That's on the first two discs I opened... it wouldn't surprise me if they all show different times.

[Edit again] Yeah. It has to be the reporting. I just tried a third disc and the M2TS report says it is a minute longer than the MPLS also. Again this was an original disc, not one processed by BD-RB. My guess is TSMUXER is just guessing at the times or giving an estimate when it reports.

[Edit] ...and a fourth. So far the MPLS and M2TS lengths haven't matched on a single disc I've tried.

[Michi]

I'm not doing any external editing or modifications.

Here the mpls-file from the main film. The first is the reauthored BD-Rebuilder and the second is the original file.

My Sony Player stops the film at the end of the reauthored mpls-file.

[videoh]

Just play the end of the transcoded movie and see if anything is missing. It there were anything missing in the transcodes, I'm sure jdobbs would have noticed it and there would be a lot of reports about it.

My Sony Player stops the film at the end of the reauthored mpls-file. Players do generally stop playing at the end of the movie. So your point is a bit opaque. Is there anything missing at the end?

[jdobbs]

Here the mpls-file from the main film. The first is the reauthored BD-Rebuilder and the second is the original file.You only posted one.

If there's a bug I will fix it. But first I need to be sure there is a bug.

[Michi]

The sreenshot of tsmuxer shows both mpls-files.

[videoh]

Is content missing or not?

[jdobbs]

The sreenshot of tsmuxer shows both mpls-files.Ok. I see. Then if TSMUXER is reporting properly (which isn't clear) there is a 10 minute delta between the original and the recode.

So when it plays, does it actually stop 10 minutes short of the end?

[Michi]

The reauthored mpls-file is over 9 minutes shorter than the original. My Player plays only the shorter time-length of the reauthored mpls-file. The m2ts-file has the correct time-length

[Michi]

Ok. I see. Then if TSMUXER is reporting properly (which isn't clear) there is a 10 minute delta between the original and the recode.

Yes, the player stops 10 minutes short of the end and this is the time length, that show tsmuxer in the screenshot.

[videoh]

I ask again, is content missing? It should be a simple answer.

[Michi]

Yes, the film is shorter.

[videoh]

OK, thank you.

It´s strange that you do not make any MPLS change on full backup.
I tried to do a FULL BACKUP of a UHD disc without any change (kept all audio, subtitles and no vídeo encode) and MPLS and CLPI are very diferent.

The problem i face it´s that is a image shutter/problem when on the same MPLS it changes between M2TS.

See the exemple attached.

See the exemple attached.There are other changes that can be made... like when you only keep certain audio tracks, subs, etc. But they are all made to a copy of the original MPLS. So it will never likely be identical, but also doesn't change radically. I don't change anything that doesn't have to be changed. Most of that code hasn't changed in years.

The CLPI file, on the other hand is completely revamped -- it has things like tables of pointers to access units throughout the M2TS -- so when there is a reencode it has to be made to match the reencoded output. The HD/SD baseline CLPI it is created by TSMUXER, but for UHD there have to be many updates to make it compatible with the UHD spec so BD-RB creates it from scratch.

I'll look at your attachment when I get a chance.

If there's something wrong I'll fix it... I'm running some jobs to see if I can repeat what was reported. Unfortunately, though, each job takes many hours to complete... so it may be a while.

I am having the same (or similar) issue with my UHD Full Backups. Based on your desciption of the CLPI file, it may be the problem, not the MPLS file as Michi has claimed. Here is an example:

When I play the full backup of Star Trek Beyond 4K on my hardware player (an Xbox One X) it plays the entire film all the way to the end of the runtime, which is 1:59:03, but when I play the M2TS file on my computer (in Windows 10), it shows the film to be 2:02:22. So, it's not that the actual video file is short (or re-encoded improperly), but the pointer file(s) that the hardware players use to navigate the disc is wrong and off by just a bit. Again, based on your description of the CLPI file that has to be regenerated from scratch, it may be the issue.

Thanks for your time. Later.

[Acerjen]

Most films seem to have one large M2TS file to play the contains everything, but I am running into some films that are spanned across more than one M2TS files. These tend to be films that have more than one version of the film on the discs. (I believe is is called seamless branching???) or have alternate intro credits using different languages (like Star Wars films). I am running into playback problems with these films right when the film goes from one M2TS file into the next. My player simply pauses and stays paused. I can chapter rewind back to the beginning and chapter forward to the spot it paused at and it plays fine. I am wondering if there is an issue with the pointer files (maybe the CLPI file) that navigate the player across the different M2TS files?

I can provide you with a specific example, but need to be reminded of which files you would need me to post?

I made over twenty UHD full backups and all backups have this bug.Name them.

I have encoded numerous discs... and none have that issue. Just to test your report I have done two more (wasting more than 30 hours of my video computer's time encoding) -- and both came out with the times being exactly what they should have been.

[jdobbs]

@FilipeAmadeuO

You said you have many titles that experienced the issue. Can you give me a list of them in the hope that I have one of them to work with?My mistake. That should have been addressed to Michi.

[jdobbs]

@Acerjen

Thanks for the INI file.

The disc I ran last night was the one reported to have "shutter" problems. I'll test it some time today and see if I can repeat that issue.

[FilipeAmadeuO]

Yes, the player stops 10 minutes short of the end and this is the time length, that show tsmuxer in the screenshot.

I can confirm this issue.
Tested disc "Pirates of the Caribenean - Dead Man tell no tales" UHD. Did not removed anything from the disc and just rebuilded (no vídeo encode, no áudio/subtitles removal)
The rebuilded file is smaller and check the Windows time info.
Original: 02:09:06
Rebuilded: 01:43:34

BD Info reports the same time on original and rebuilded but the m2ts it´s smaller.

[jdobbs]

Yep. There is definitely an issue with transition between M2TS files on SOLO. It's possible this may be related to what Michi reported, but I'm not sure. I'll see what I can find.

BD Info reports the same time on original and rebuilded but the m2ts it´s smaller.Unfortunately I don't have that disc.

Can you play back the end of the two files and see if they match? I want to see if the time discrepancy is in the M2TS itself, or the what is reported in the CLPI. I suspect it may be in the CLPI based on what I saw in SOLO. But if part of the file isn't being encoded -- that may be a bigger issue outside of BD-RB (and a lot harder to fix).

Name them.

I have encoded numerous discs... and none have that issue. Just to test your report I have done two more (wasting more than 30 hours of my video computer's time encoding) -- and both came out with the times being exactly what they should have been.

The following discs have that issue and the end is shorter (I would like to update the list):

Creed - Rockys Legacy 2015
Creed II 2018
Allied 2016
Cliffhanger Studio Canal Version 1993
The little Mermaid 1989
Wildes Venedig
Ballon 2018
Apollo 13 1995
Asterix 2018
Ghostbuster 1984

I deleted the most backups.
Today I'm testing more and send logs to Jdobbs.

I can confirm this issue.
Tested disc "Pirates of the Caribenean - Dead Man tell no tales" UHD. Did not removed anything from the disc and just rebuilded (no vídeo encode, no áudio/subtitles removal)
The rebuilded file is smaller and check the Windows time info.
Original: 02:09:06
Rebuilded: 01:43:34

BD Info reports the same time on original and rebuilded but the m2ts it´s smaller.

I did this film, exept I took some audio and subtitle streams out ..
Just checked the movie , and the length of the film is
02:09:06 ... I did Toy story 4 , it has many m2ts files, around 126 ..
took the unwanted streams out , and worked a treat ..have my size set at stupid size 900500 , because I only take out streams , these days .

I think it was my mistaque. The problem was generated because of low free disc size space. Rebuilded again and working perfect.

Just because you edit the path from

E:\4K BLU RAY\CLIFFHANGER.1993.2160P.UHD.BLURAY.HDR.HEVC.DTS-HD.MA.5.1-HDBEE to E:\4K BLU RAY\CLIFFHANGER.1993.2160P doesn't make it an original disc magically. No retail disc uses that entire string as a disc name. Ever.

That is a pirated release, which means most likely GHOSTBUSTERS.1984 is aswell. Which is against the forum rules (specifically nr 6). We can't assist you any further, and i doubt jdobbs will too at this point. Get the original discs, then come back. Anything else, is off limits.

Bd25 ?,how % of compression ?

[jdobbs]

@FilipeAmadeuO and Acerjen

I found the issue you were describing. After a remux is done by TSMUXER, the MPLS's sequence table was updated with the new start/end presentation timestamps (PTS). It just so happens, though, that TSMUXER loses frames when it muxes UHD. I'd written code in BD-RB that corrects that issue by remuxing the video. The corrected length information was updated in a new CLPI (generated by BD-RB) but that information was never transferred to the MPLS. So individual M2TS playback times on UHD sources (specified in the MPLS) were off by the number of frames that were lost in the original TSMUXER process.

I've fixed it for the next release, which will probably be posted sometime later today after I do some testing.

[videoh]

Bravo, jdobbs! Looking forward to it.

Can't say it enough... this is amazing work you do.

Just curious, any further thoughts on not remuxing streams that are not being touched? Could also ensure that streams don't see any regression due to issues with TSMuxer that you may not always foresee and compensate for!

[MrVideo]

@jdobbs
I thought you were going to fix tsmuxer, since you now had the source. I must have misread that.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent version of BD-RB (v0.60.26). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which stopping an
encode of a source that is being inverse
telecined -- and then restarting without
exiting could (on rare occasions) cause an
incorrect framecount that truncates the
the video output.
- Added a new hidden option FORCE_MONO_RATE
which allows the user to force the bitrate
used for monophonic audio.
- Corrected an error in which MPLS sequence
end times could be incorrectly updated on
UHD sources due to TSMUXER losing HEVC
frames. This could cause stutter between
M2TS files on multipart sources -- or early
playback termination on singlepart sources.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Can you please check the transition between chapter 7 and 8 on SOLO - STAR WARS STORY (UHD) of the rebuilded version ?
Seems there is still a stuttering...

Seems there is still a stuttering...Not for me. It's huge change in scene where it jumps from Solo answering a question to an explosion and a body flying through the air (right at the chapter point). But there is no stutter in my playback.

I'm testing it on a standalone Sony UBP-X800 UHD-BD Player.

[MrVideo]

FYI, just so you know, there is no such word as "rebuilded." The word I think you want is "rebuilt." Though "repackage" may be a better word for the process.

Ok. On my Oppo the transition is not as smooth as it was on the “original”. The others m2ts transitions are perfect.

[jdobbs]

Ok. On my Oppo the transition is not as smooth as it was on the “original”. The others m2ts transitions are perfect.It's possible the bitrate spiked (from the high action explosion scene) and the player had a buffer issue... just wild guessing though.

I am still having playback problems with Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Same as before. It will hit the chapter points right at the transition from one M2TS file to the next and will pause and stay paused. I can chapter rewind and then chapter forward to the scene it just paused at and it will resume smooth playback till the next transition to the next M2TS file occurs and it stops and pauses again. On solo, once you get to chapter 9, the rest of the film is contained in a one large M2TS file, so no more pausing. And it does play all the way to the end of the credits like it is supposed to. I ran it through the newest version of BD Rebuilder on a new PC I built with a fresh installation of everything. If you have any ideas, please share. Attached are my logs and related files. Thanks. Later.

[Acerjen]

Thanks for replying. I am using an Xbox One X.


Edit: I am curious as to what player you have? It might be worth investing in one if more and more rebuilt discs have problems playing on the Xbox One X. Thanks.

[Acerjen]

I am also having a problem with Star Trek: Beyond. The disc loads up and plays the Paramount trailer. At the end of the trailer (which is 23 sec long), the player pauses like it doesn't know where to go next. I can stop the playback but can not fast forward or bring up the menu. The strange thing is this disc works fine after running it through BD Rebuilder version 60.25 but has the wrong runtime (as was fixed in the new version). When I used BD Rebuilder 60.26, the above happens. I re-did it once more with 60.25 and it works but again, has the wrong runtime. I am curious if you made any changes in the new version that might account for this? I am at a loss to explain it?
Thanks. Later.

When you play Star Wars The Last Jedi, are you having any trouble as it hits the chapter points? I ask because it is a multi-part (meaning multi M2TS files) disc and is giving me trouble. Also, which Oppo player do you have? Thanks.

If you have spell check turned on, you will find that "rebuilded" gets flagged as a misspelled word. In other words, it doesn't exist. :D :D

And spell check is never wrong, just like you :eek:
In case you missed it that was sarcasm, case is the word exists, even if archaic, (must exist to be archaic) and you are wrong.

[jdobbs]

For those who are trying to do a UHD movie-only backup from a multipart source... a word of advice. Don't. I discovered an issue in which my TSMUXER correction process isn't handling the corrective remux properly when the source is multipart and backup mode is movie-only.

Please note: BD-RB works fine for full backups or ALTERNATE output. Only movie-only mode is affected and only when the source is UHD and multipart.

Hopefully I'll get a fix out for the next release. Unfortunately, though, it doesn't going to be an easy fix. So it may take some time.

This UHD thing has become a nightmare. It's getting to the point that the exceptions to the rule are starting to outnumber the rules -- especially for anything related to the TSMUXER process.

[FilipeAmadeuO]

Hi jdobbs
Why not try to help improving tsmuxer now that source code is available ?
It would decrease the number of Bdrebuilder workarounds because of tsmuxer bugs...

Hi jdobbs
Why not try to help improving tsmuxer now that source code is available ?
It would decrease the number of Bdrebuilder workarounds because of tsmuxer bugs...Yeah, I've thought about it and looked at it a little. But I'm not sure anyone has even had a successful compile that results in a working EXE with it yet. So it's not as easy as you might think. Again I only had a quick look at the code, but it seems comments are pretty few and far between as well, making it harder for someone (other than the original author) to follow.

The main factor holding me back on that front, though, is that it would take time and effort to start working on it -- time that I'd have to pull from BD Rebuilder -- and I'd like to have UHD working reliably before I consider doing that.

In my personal opinion you would the perfect match to improve tsmuxer because you are aware of most of the bugs/limitations. Of course it would take a lot of time to understand author code.
But it would help you a lot not to be always with workarounds on bdrebuilder ...

If I uncheck Use SupTitle in the setup menu, the re-build to MKV works fine.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent version (v0.60.27) of BD-RB. Changes for this release:- Created a workaround for a TSMUXER issue
that could result in "Bitstream exception
Unknown exception." on UHD sources.
- Implemented a strategy that speeds muxing
of UHD sources considerably by using a
short filler in TSMUXER rather than the
complete UHD source before BD-RB makes
M2TS corrections.
- Corrected an error in which multipart UHD
sources with Dolbyvision could fail during
rebuild (calling out a missing file).
- Corrected an error in which multipart UHD
sources would fail to mux properly when
MOVIE-ONLY output is selected.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.Originally posted in the wrong thread. Thanks, Ch3vron, for pointing that out! mistake.

Hi jdobbs
Using v0.60.27 (and previous versions) i have a problem with fast-forward at speed > 1x and fast-rewind at any speed on STAR WARS - THE LAST JEDI (Dolby vision title)
The fast-rewind simply does not work at any speed and fast-forward at speed > 1x moves the play to the next title.
Original version works ok on my Oppo UDP-203 player.
Also SOLO - STAR WARS STORY rebuilded version works ok on both fast-forward and back-forward (not dolby vision title).
Can you please check if it´s a dolby vision titles problem on fast-forward/fast-rewind ?

Can you please check if it´s a dolby vision titles problem on fast-forward/fast-rewind ?Ok. I just tried it on a couple discs with dolby vision that I'd rebuilt and it works fine for me.

But...

Since my player doesn't support dolby vision, that may not mean there is no problem. A guess would be that my player simply ignores the dolby tracks and so it doesn't affect it.

The CLPI file has a table called the Characteristic Point Information (CPI). Within it are contained pointers to the video packets that are the beginning of accessible points used for fast forward/rewind and chapter skips. My guess is that there may be something I'm missing related to those points within the separate dolby stream.

I'll look at my CPI table and that of an original disc and see if I can catch anything that might stand out.

This UHD support has become a major pain in my ass.

[FilipeAmadeuO]

Ok. Excelent.
My oppo player in fact it supports dolby vision. I must say that i only tested one dolby vision disc (The last jedi) and it crashs on fast forward.

PS - I sugest you to buy a M9702 v3
It´s a oppo clone box and it plays every format you can image including isso/bmdv folder style of BD/UHD. Also is compatible with HDR+ and dolby vision :)

[Ch3vr0n]

He doesn't HAVE to buy anything. A 5 second google shows me that's around a $400 machine? Donations are scarce often barely covering costs to buy test disc for a specific problem. Now you're telling me jdobbs HAS to buy such a device? Why not buy it for him and ship it?

That was a sugestion. No need to be as agressive :)
The advantage of the player is that it´s the most compatible device avaiable so would help on testing.
I am sending a donation to help :)

No guarantees, as I couldn't test it myself, I was just wondering if the changes might make the difference.

Tested and it´s much better.
Now the FF works perfect.
The REW works perfect at speeds > 2x. The REW at 1x and 2x i can see bitrate changing on oppo player but image is freezed.
You are on the right track :)

Can you just please test other issue on LAST JEDI.
At 00:02:05 in a scene transition i have another "non smooth transition".
The transition is when it moves from 00007.m2ts -> 00018.m2ts on the 00800.mpls.
So something is still not perfect on m2ts transitions...

So something is still not perfect on m2ts transitions...I will probably never be able to do anything about that transition issue -- as I suspect it is your player rather than the mux/disc (since my player handles it without issue). I'll keep looking and see if anything looks odd. It might be related to maximum bitrate on BD-25/50 with UHD (based upon our prior discussion). Just guessing, though. You might try setting UHD_MAXRATE to a value lower than 45000 in your setup file just to see. Don't set it any lower than 15000 or higher than 60000 -- as those will cause it to default back to 45000.

Don't know what you mean by "other issue"... but I don't have LAST JEDI, so I'm not sure whether I could test it anyway.

It can’t be anything related to max bitrate because I do not reencode the video. My only goal is to replace one of UHD subtitle by the Portuguese subtitle of the BD version.

There was a big improvement on previous version v.0.60.26 change:
- Corrected an error in which MPLS sequence end times could be incorrectly updated on UHD sources due to TSMUXER losing HEVC frames. This could cause stutter between M2TS files on multipart sources or early playback termination on singlepart sources.

So I believe it’s something still not fixed related to the same issue (clpi or mpls file or TSMUXER losing frames).
Is there any way I can do to check lost frames in the end or beginning of m2ts ?

[meadrocks]

I did Princess Mononoke, movie only, Alternative output, h265 encoder. mediainfo states the duration is 4 hours 21 minutes, yet the movie is only 2 hours 13 minutes. When I play it in vlc it states the movie is 4:21, yet when it finishes playing it at 2:13 stops playing, so there's not an additional 2 hours of silence.
This also happened on Sucker Punch Dir Cut, movie is 2 hours 7 minutes, yet mediainfo & vlc state the duration is 4 hours 9 minutes.

I came across this problem with multiple M2TS files with my older LG Blu-ray player (with Hard Drive). I really noticed it when I bought my copy of 50 Shades of Grey..ripped and processed it...and there were transition errors that you're typing about. Once I found another good LG player, and Ch3vr0n helped me realize that Cinavia isn't used as much anymore...I decided to get a new one. That movie, plus others..all the transition errors are gone. For a bit, I was thinking JD really goofed in BD-RB. Nope.. So, I'm with JD..I betcha it's your player, too. Now I have a note on that player.."Don't play non-original movies before 2015 or so with this." with a description of why. The newer player supports SRTs much better and other features the other didn't have (Don't care about the "apps".)

What I'm hoping is coming some time soon is the ability to play a Blu-ray root from USB..or ISO mount from USB.. Then not use BD-RE so much.. Would be useful for Cameras and more. Dreaming visionary is fun. :D

I understand that players can make some difference but only the rebuilded version have small shutter problem. If I play original there is no shutter.
I believe that it’s something not 100% perfect.

Nothing is ever perfect. I don't care how often people use that word today. When you use a ripper then the end result doesn't have what the original disc does. That's why there are stutter effects. My older BD Player plays originals well. Probably TSMuxer also adds to it too, ...at least for older/some players. Not wanting to argue, The Best isn't always The Best. Again, nothing is ever perfect, done, final, cannot be added to.

That doesn't qualify it as "The Best". But yet, you commented about stutters. Hmm.. Wink.

There was only a main feature - Tosca. I did use Good bd-25+ setting as the disc was no bigger than a bd-50, so it might be related to that if you used fast encode for the extras.

[FilipeAmadeuO]

But... the rebuilt disc is on a BD-25 or BD-50 -- both of which have different maximum bitrates than the original disc.
The rebuild disc is BD-66 as the original :)
Only change is a subtitle replacement. No vídeo or audio encoding was done.

Have you found the FF/REW issue on Dolby Vision discs ?
The experimental build of BD-RB that you have sent me was much better :)

[jdobbs]

Have you found the FF/REW issue on Dolby Vision discs ?
The experimental build of BD-RB that you have sent me was much better :)No. The build I created for you to test just added the dolby vision track to the CPI() table. It improved things, but apparently didn't fix it. So I really don't have a good idea as to why you are having issues.

If it requires all the I frames of the dolby vision track to match those of the reencoded HEVC, that could become a problem for sources that require reencoding. I'd have to investigate how hard it would be to get around.

I may just add a hidden option to tell BD-RB not to include dolby vision, that way you could at least get an HDR version without FF/REW problems.

To All:

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? So far I think I've only gotten this report from FilipeAmadeuO. It would be nice to know if it is limited to only a certain player before I spend a lot of time on it.

[Michi]

I can confirm the FF/REW issue on dolby vision discs. I test "the last jedi" and the 4 James Bond discs.

The improvement you have done it’s on the right track.
I think if there is there is no negative side effect it’s better than the working version.
Why not add the Dolby vision layer as a selectable video ? Then uses can select the layer or not.

[Michi]

Thanks. What kind of player are you using?

I'm using a Sony x800 MKII.

Do you have any jerky video transition between m2ts on LAST JEDI (for example) ?

Hey guys.

I have a strange issue...

Every time I import a 24.000 source, BDRebuilder change this to 23.976.

I don't find a hidden option to avoid this...

Can you guys help me ? This not a new issue, every time a face with this, I remux with audio track from mkv file, but this have issues when playback, some frame drop.

This should solve the problem:

IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM=n n = 0/1 - Default=0, if set to 1, imported 25fps video file sources are converted to 23.976. Be sure that's not set to 0. Or add to config, and go another go.

[jdobbs]

I'll look at it. But in the meantime you can always set IMPORT_FORCE_FRAMERATE=24. But don't forget to delete it after the import, or your next import might have issues.

I think there was a reason why 24fps could be converted to 23.976 during import... but it was a long time ago and I can't remember why...

I will create 2 BD Rebuilder folder, one called "BDRB24" :D

The video playback without stutter and finished with 24fps.

For future reference, don't "quote" it, "code" it.

This opens up a lot of possibilities.
But .... Why is that not in HIDDENOPTS.TXT ?. It is not documented before in this threat either. It is really hidden.

[jdobbs]

This opens up a lot of possibilities.
But .... Why is that not in HIDDENOPTS.TXT ?. It is not documented before in this threat either. It is really hidden.I have many undocumented settings that were put there for testing. Most are undocumented for a reason... because they would be the source of self-inflicted bug reports that people would "fail to mention". I don't want to have to deal with that.

[jdobbs]

This opens up a lot of possibilities.
But .... Why is that not in HIDDENOPTS.TXT ?. It is not documented before in this threat either. It is really hidden.Just remember. It doesn't change the framerate of the imported source -- it just forces BD-RB to treat it as what you set. So, for example, if you forced a 25fps source to 24 -- it would play in (slightly) slow motion.

It really is useful only for sources that, for some reason, MEDIAINFO detects incorrectly.

[Michi]

Do you have any jerky video transition between m2ts on LAST JEDI (for example) ?

I have no stuttering between m2ts of the 0800.mpls, but no FF/REW.

[AmigaFuture]

Programmers are very mischievous and very fun..you all are demigods of sorts. I remember programming...after that I left it for other stuff.

I hope you enjoy Samhain tomorrow. You goofy coder, admin you.

Ohh! Have you checked into https://www.videohelp.com/software/PopCorn-MKV-AudioConverter ?? Seems there's a way to deal with some DTS stuff BD RB isn't currently able.

[raul124]

Just a quick question, I'm planning on switching to the 4k ultra HD game and I want to know how long will it take converting a 59GB to a 25GB MKV movie with BD-Rebuilder?:rolleyes:

[Ch3vr0n]

That's different for everyone. That depends heavily on the cpu used for encoding, available ram, cpu workload, storage device holding the source...

Hi question about UHD support ?? before i spend hours encoding

source is UHD , can the program make a BD-25 bluray (x264) ?? to play on a BluRay player or does it make UHD-25 (x265)??

if it does make BD-25 i guess it converts HDR to SDR ?

thanks
Mike

[FreaQ]

How do I enable One-Pass CRF Encoding?
I already put FIXED_CRF=19 in my bdrebuilder.ini but the option ist still grayed out.
Anything else I have to consider?

MikeNot positive what you are asking. But if you plan to have it stay UHD, there is no choice. The specification requires it to be HEVC (X265). If your intent is to resize it and create a 1080p BD-25... BD-RB doesn't have an option to resize UHD to HD yet.

I have no stuttering between m2ts of the 0800.mpls, but no FF/REW.

Can I send Michi the testing version you have sent me by PM ?
It improves a lot the FF/REW problem on Dolby vision titles.
Any development on that issue ?

you shouldnt need to amend the.ini to get 1 pass,

re download the latest version and pop into a folder somewhere and by default it will be 1 pass auto quality

One Pass is only enabled with ABR option. But I want the CRF option.

I think I answered that some days ago ... do NOT use FRIM source or internal LAVF for frame serving ... just leave it at DirectshowSource ...

Further testing on m2ts stuttering. I used BDrebuilder for movie only and in that case both m2ts are joined.
The stuttering still exists, so my conclusion is that the problem is probably on tsmuxer remuxing.
Probably it´s some correction that it´s not 100% fixed.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB. Changes for this release:- Updated the UHD remuxing routines to more
accurately represent the access points for
FF/REW on dolbyvision sources.
- Added routine to scan/examine dolbyvision
streams and align iframes in the reencoded
output for matching CPI() references.
- Added code to extract and convert timed
text subtitles to SRT from MP4 files during
import so they can be used in BD creation
or output to ALTERNATE formats.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Thanks Boss!

I don't normally do 4k, so sorry I'm a little fuzzy on what exactly BDRB does with these sources. Can you import a 4k source, say an MKV file that is 3840 by 2160 and I would guess that it would also be x265, right? Then, what are your options as to what to do with it? Can you then render it as a playable standard Blu-ray with x264. Does it automatically resize it? Can you render it to a 'normal' playable x264 MKV file? I'm just not sure what BDRB does exactly or what UHD sources you can import with it.

I don't have a 4k setup. I have an OPPO BDP-83 which I just sent to OPPO to have it reconditioned. I like it mainly because it is pre-Cinavia and I back up a LOT of my stuff. And, I have a very old Plasma that hasn't died yet and still looks really good, so I'm just wondering if I can take some of these 4k sources, either the full 4k Blu-ray or an MKV file taken from it and make it playable on my 'standard' Blu-ray equipment, and exactly what options I have to do so?

I appreciate any input, thanks!

[Lathe]

Just another quickie... (it doesn't take me long to recover :D)

Assuming, that BDRB does this then, how is the 'quality' retention. I mean, when you take even a really large standard Blu-ray, say over 40 Gigs and you use BDRB to render it to a BD25, the results are beautiful. How does that compare if you are converting full 4k resolution to standard Blu-ray resolution (assuming BDRB does this) I mean, is the quality retention just as comparable, or with the resizing and all, is it simply better just to stay with the standard HD versions. Just curious if it is worth the trouble...

Any chance to add a option of replacing audio/subtitle on BD/UHD ?
I know that I can do it by replacing files on workfile but I have to redo everything twice.

You don't need to do everything twice, replace track before muxing, i have no problem with this.

Oh okay... So, all that BDRB does then with UHD sources or any content that has that resolution is just compress it but KEEP that same resolution, and what, use x265 to compress it...?

What would help me a little better is if someone could please just state exactly what BDRB does with UHD or 4k sources. That would clear it up for me. Thanks for the clarification, though, about it apparently not converting it from UHD to a regular x264 playable Blu-ray.

[Lathe]

... and, I am STILL not getting any notifications when someone posts here. What do I hafta do, sacrifice a goat in my backyard or something...?!

I just now added 'http://forum.doom9.org' for Chrome to allow this site to set cookies. I didn't think that I specifically had to do that, but nothing else has worked so far...

Sorry to talk to myself, but... So, what I am understanding from this so far is that BDRB will convert all OTHER formats to a playable Blu-ray or an Alternate file (MKV for example) But, as far as any 4k content, that is dealt with ONLY within it's own format, right? So, in the case of UHD material, that is the ONLY format with which BDRB does NOT convert it to any other format, is that right? So, in other words, BDRB deals with either HD material OR UHD material, each one handled COMPLETELY SEPARATELY, right?

[MrVideo]

... and, I am STILL not getting any notifications when someone posts here.
I haven't gotten any e-mail from any thread I'm in here on Doom9.

[MrVideo]

@Lathe: At this point in time, if you want to take UHD video and create a BD, you are going to have to create a MKV file by using AVISynth tools, x264 & MKVToolnix to recode to 1080p. Then take that MKV file and pass it on to BDRB to create a BD.

[FilipeAmadeuO]

You don't need to do everything twice, replace track before muxing, i have no problem with this.

Does BdRebuilder have any option to demux everything and stop ?
By default is demux one m2ts and when finished remux immediately. So I have no chance to replace subtitle...

PS - Not doing video encoding...

I have no stuttering between m2ts of the 0800.mpls, but no FF/REW.Can you try the new version and let me know if it fixes your FF/REW issues?

[jdobbs]

ive recently switched to the UHD format & ive done a backup of spiderman far from home, first I rip to the hard drive using dvdfab untouched with no compression, if I then run it through dvdfab to bd25 the burn plays on my Panasonic DPUB450 as dolby vision if I do a bd25 with rebuilder it plays as hdr10 (using imgburn for burning), some in this forum seem to have dolby vision working but it isn't working on all players yet

im doing movie only

would it be any help if I posted the clpi file from both

just thought I would throw this in, dolby vision in dvdfab also has the ff/rew issues that have been posted aboutI suspect it might be an issue with doing movie-only backups of DolbyVision sources. I'll do some testing and see if I can find anything.

[jdobbs]

@Lathe: At this point in time, if you want to take UHD video and create a BD, you are going to have to create a MKV file by using AVISynth tools, x264 & MKVToolnix to recode to 1080p. Then take that MKV file and pass it on to BDRB to create a BD.At some point I'll add a "Resize 3840x2160 to 1920x1080" to the SETUP/VIDEO dialog. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Can you try the new version and let me know if it fixes your FF/REW issues?

The new version fixes the FF/REW issues on Dolby Vision discs. My Sony plays the DV-disc " Lock up" without issues.

Today I rebuild "The Last Jedi". Later I will test the rebuild.

"The Last Jedi" plays my Sony without Issues. FF/REW up to 3x.

[MrVideo]

What happens after 3x?

[Michi]

What happens after 3x?

Nothing. 3x is the max. FF/REW Speed on my Sony x800 MII.

Can you make a little tutorial for encode UHD 4K BD66 to BD25 ? Please.

I am comparing the metafile generated by tsmuxer and bdrebuilder for the same m2ts file and i see some diferences.
Can you please check if everything is correct ?

Because they are different and maybe this can be a reason for a small shuttering...

You do realize that TsMuxer does not work with hevc and jdobbs has to correct its output to make it work
By the way, audio delay does not cause juttery playback

Anyone

[dreamk]

I try to make backup from Stand By Me UHD disc, but BD Rebuilder 0.60.27 did not see any of the (large size) 2160p tracks there, only few 1080p extras it can see when i opened it.

Now this new 0.60.29 can see couple small 2160p tracks too, but still not (large) movie tracks as you can see from attached screenshot. That 346MB track in the picture is biggest video track and rest are smaller than that. (BD Rebuilder defaults in that 346MB track as it assumes that is movie track)

It is this disc: https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Stand-by-Me-4K-Blu-ray/243031/

My first bug report, so my apology if missing some info and need more to know? And yes "full backup" is selected. And yes computer is configured according to first post here, so far BD Rebuilder has worked fantastic for long time already. This is first time i notice any problems.
edit: Source folder is around 55GB so it should not be problem in that either.

[tebasuna51]

@SquallMX: Please CODE wrap, don't QUOTE wrap pasted text.

For what?

The first CODE can't be read without move the bottom slider.
I like more for the first the QUOTE.

The CODE is intended to preserve some TAB's and other short lines.
The second CODE is ok.

[MrVideo]

The first CODE can't be read without move the bottom slider.
You manually add line breaks to that kind of code listing, so that it breaks correctly. Otherwise, the line wrap is within the -- and other characters, etc.

Ah, I didn't know that you had to use AVS to do that, thanks!

[Lathe]

At some point I'll add a "Resize 3840x2160 to 1920x1080" to the SETUP/VIDEO dialog. I just haven't gotten around to it.

Oh okay... So, as Mr. Video mentioned, it is simply an AVS resize issue then. That should be pretty easy for me to do using the CMD line then.

[Lathe]

So, please excuse me for asking again, but WHAT exactly does BDRB do with 4k files then?

Does it simply compress the file and make it smaller as it does with HD stuff?

Since, apparently there is no conversion between the 2 formats, WHAT does it do...???

Can I import 4k MKV files? If so, then what can I do with it? I would really appreciate an answer to that please.

2. In most cases, yes. For example, you could create a BD-25 or BD-50 that holds the UHD content from a BD-66 or BD-100. Or it can make a movie-only UHD-BD from it, or it can create an MKV or MP4 from it.

3. Yes you can import 4k MKV files. You can do pretty much anything. You can create a UHD-BD from it. You can recompress it to a different size. You can create a new MKV or MP4. You can resize it while creating the new ALTERNATE format.

In other words, it has now extended its support for BDs so that it also processes UHD-BDs. The most substantial change is that it now supports for HEVC/UHD/4K encoding as well as AVC/SD/HD, as is now included in the updated BD specification.

... and, I am STILL not getting any notifications when someone posts here. What do I hafta do, sacrifice a goat in my backyard or something...?!

Leave Pagans alone, we/they haven't done the Mayan thing for many, many generations, that's a smear job by the other organized one. I hung a rabbit in front of my door for "Rabbit celebration", and it didn't help..never does. But it was funny to watch neighbors expressions...especially door thumpers.

Every Universal and Sony discs stop after trailers, when a fast forward the discs runs fine.

noticed when encoding its using the 32bit version of x264 ?? why is it not using 64 bit

also how do you add stuff to the avisynth script, i want to enable the MT mode ?

Thanks
