BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Ch3vr0n]

I'd recommend to try 40.06 first. There was a bug in 40.05 that could cause it to fail in the final rebuild

[Rich86]

Yesterday I tried to convert 3 Blu-rays to DVDs, using version 40.05. They all failed in the Rebuild process. Here is the log of one of them:



Here is the INF file of the same. The other two are similar.

I was having problems using the DVD-5 Alternate output also.
Download and try 40.06, as it seems to have fixed the issues I was having. Go to the first post in this thread for the link.

What a basic question to be asked :stupid: but I would have never thought to look in the installation folder. I am sorry !
One more question, I hope. In HIDDENOPTS.TXT, I've found "KEEP_HD_LPCM=n where n = 0/1 - Default=1, When set to "0", BD-RB reencodes LPCM even for "Keep HD Audio", so I will paste "KEEP_HD_LPCM=1" inserting it in config file, between any lines ? Thank so much. Yes as long as it's in the [Options] area... but... I'd forgotten that I'd made that the default. So unless you've set it to "0" it should work anyway.

What output size are you using for CUSTOM?

What Geforce would you recommend for DGDecNV? Right now I would go for a GT430 or GT520. For frameserving the GT520 is the better one, but seems to produce some glitches and has only 48 CUDA cores; the GT430 has 96 CUDA cores.

My issue is that my AMD X4 630 never reaches 100% CPU load as avisynth/ffdshow produces too less frames. So I hope for a performance boost of 15-20% with DGDecNV.

I think Neuron2 would be a better judge of that... I haven't really done much research -- I bought the GT520, but mainly because I wanted a CUDA enabled card for testing/implementing DGDecNV for a low price. It also helped that the local parts store carried it in stock. :)

I can't say what you will or won't see for speed increases. It seems the reports are pretty inconsistent... but mine is in that range when I use it in conjuction with multiprocessing (as compared to Directshow with multiprocessing).

Purportedly the GT520 has the new faster video engine (VP5) compared to other current Nvidia cards that have VP4. Other higher end Nvidia models are faster for games but the GT520 may be the current fastest available Nvidia card for DGDecNV video engine decoding. But a higher end CPU with more than 4 cores might be needed to take full advantage however.

Compare the video engine capabilities of different Nvidia chipsets here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PureVideo#Table_of_PureVideo_.28HD.29_GPUs

As far as with ffdshow never reaches 100% CPU load, that might helped more by the multiprocess feature, though adding DGDecNV with Multiprocess may be the best of all...

I've set it at 24450, for this 29.6 Go film, it gave me an output of 23.2 Go, which is very fine with me. Thanks.

Silly me never noticed clock was a month out just done a new system install on an ssd. Sent you a donation too. thanks

[AmigaFuture]

Nice program, Jdobbs, soon I'll send another Thanks your way. Something interesting, perhaps you or someone else could shed some light on it? When I use MULTIPROCESS 1 to 3, 1st pass gets around 68 FPS, but 2nd pass gets 19 to 20 FPS. That's an interesting drop. CPU is maxed and RAM has about 10% remaining (of 6GB), currently using 3-way. I also have Autocrop deactivated. I'm testing a bit with Matrix - Revolutions. It's probably all related to H.264 and FFDSHOW, and Haai Media Splitter. The settings are still set as per 1st page instructions. I'm using MKV Alternative Intact Audio and Auto Video Quality (soon to start testing the other Quality settings). Curious. Also using 40.06, and noticed the bug fix in rebuilt. Oh Yeah...THANKS for the AVS Editor..!!

Some of the high-end bells and whistles aren't necessary in pass 1, so they aren't used until pass 2 -- and suck up extra processor time (making the FPS considerably less).

[Mark_Venture]

Ok, now I have an audio problem... (I use... alternate movie only -> MKV Container, 1920x1080, Intact Audio... and the MKV file streamed across my network/file share to my LG BD570 and LG BD390 Bluray players.)

When playing back some movies converted with 0.40.6, my receiver keeps fliping between DTS and Dolby Digital, and no sound is heard.

As a test, I re-encoded Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, which I had previously done with v0.39.03 and it works (DTS shown on the receiver)...

[jdobbs]

When keeping the audio intact -- there really isn't much that can go wrong, because there is no processing. The audio is simply extracted at the beginning of the job, and then remuxed at the end. Other than the container holding it (MKV) it is bit-for-bit identical.

That is what I thought, and its why I'm scratching my head, because it appears, based on the mediainfo output (in my above post), that the audio IS different between the MKV created with 39.03 and 40.06 when re-encoding the same Bluray with the same settings and keep audio entact.

I don't know what does the extraction and remuxing, but is it possibly something with the newer version of MKVMERGE or x264?

Its not all files, as Groundhog_Day was fine after the header compression was fixed.. (here is MediaInfo's stuff about its audio..)Audio #1

[jdobbs]

Well there is a definite difference... HD audio wasn't kept intact in v0.39.3 when outputting to MKV... what you got was the core (intact). HD audio output to MKV wasn't added until v0.40.1. That's why one is Lossy and the other is both Lossless (HD) and Lossy (core).

MKVMERGE would be involved in the remuxing -- but X264 is never involved in audio processing.

Since the audio is essentially left untouched -- if I had that issue I'd first question whether the player can actually properly play HD audio from an MKV file.

Frankly if it were me I'd toss the HD audio. Human ears can't hear the difference... so unless your dog loves movies it's a waste of space.

Hi ! I've used 2 hidden options for Potter and Azkaban; MULTIPROCESS=1 and KEEP_HD_LPCM=1, and it worked flawlessly. No audio were re-encoded and I am very pleased with that. Thanks a lot for your help, it is greatly appreciated.

As I noted earlier, one of the two I bought was DOA, so that might raise and eyebrow, but I exchanged it and both have been running 24/7 since then with no issues.

I've had no problems and I'm using the 285.62 drivers. I read the links -- but I always take anything anyone says on those things with a grain of salt. I have no idea who those folks are and for all I know they could be geniuses. But when most people report problems they haven't a clue what the real cause is... and generally it turns out to be an issue located somewhere between the monitor and the chair.

Hi there,

I've been a big fan of this software, doing some tests backing up my movies in full mode to BD25, highest quality, 2-pass. I haven't been following this thread much, but do have a couple quick questions:

1. I seem to struggle setting the output size to 23.2GB. Normally I set the CUSTOM_TARGET_SIZE=24500 in the .ini file which seems to be a hit and miss at first but keeps changing with follow-up conversions. I'd like this output size at all times no matter what movie or circumstance.

2. My Anti-Virus has reporting a bloodhound virus in v0.40.04 and v0.40.06. If it's a false-positive, these normally point to hacktools. Not sure if or why they're being used.

Thanks.

[Adbear]

I'm assuming your antivirus is probably Norton as they give anything they don't recognize the 'Bloodhound' tag (although others have also started doing this now)and are notoriously bad for false positives

[jdobbs]

I think I might add a new module to BD-RB that identifies Norton as trojan... it's only fair.

My recommendation -- dump it and get a better anti-virus package.

I know many people do not care for Microsoft products but they offer a free anti-virus\anti-malware called Microsoft Security Essentials that has a very small footprint,
very effective and when combined with Window firewall does a commendable job and best of all it's free!

[AmigaFuture]

I reinstalled my 7 64-bit, installed SP1, installed the software and made changes as stated on page 1. 40.06. Set a job for on through the night. Woke to everything doing as usual with previous Windows 7 install, except rebuild won't completely...it won't even attempt to start. I'm not novice, but I'm unable to reason what the challenge is. I even tried with previous versions...and each fail with rebuilding. When I use Merge GUI to create from the Source /Rebuild/WORK directory files to the /Rebuild/Movie.mkv file, it's flawless. The fact that it's re-encoding means all security permissions are fine within that directory structure. Yes, I even use Run as Admin the 1st time I ran BD-RB 40.06. I ran Inspect and all is Okay. I've watched TaskManager after I've clicked "Resume Previous Job?" and nothing runs. Comparability mode isn't needed as I ~know~ it works with Windows 7 64-bit, so... I also created the Rebuilder directory structure on my Desktop and copied the Work files to their respective directories.

I then changed the Work directory with BD-RD. Again, it failed to rebuild.

Any ideas? Have I found a new bug?

Thanks.

I have deleted the BD-RB 40.06 directory and it's contents. I've re-extracted the archive. Trying it completely fresh. I'll post once I know it functions or not. 1st pass (2 way) is doing fine at 50% complete. So, working path IS writable. :)

[jdobbs]

Any ideas? Have I found a new bug? Well... since its running for everyone else and it seems to have started exactly at the time you've rebuilt -- that's highly unlikely. A log might help... I can't even determine what you're trying to do from you post.

[Edit] Never mind -- I see you've edited your post.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new version of BD-RB (v0.40.07). Changes for this release:- Made changes to prevent the need for .264 file
concatenation following encode. The concatenation
is now a part of the TSMUXER muxing. Should save
5-30 minutes per job.
- Modified the movie-only build routines so that
a redundant intermediate video build is no longer
needed. This should save 5-15 minutes per job.
- Corrected an error in which secondary video could
be processed incorrectly when MULTIPROCESS is in
effect.
- Corrected an issue that could cause iPod and iPad
ALTERNATE types to be processed incorrectly when
used in conjunction with MULTIPROCESS.
- Established a workaround related to handling of
very small (< 1 sec) files that prevents certain
anomalies in both DGDecNV and DirectShow. Can
avoid certain "Timeout...I/P frame" messages in
DGDecNV.
- Corrected an annoyance in which BD-RB would cause
exit delay when aborted during a TSMUXER action.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

jdobbs,

It would be possible to improve the definition of subtitles?

[AmigaFuture]

Jdobbs: I looked at all the logs, none of which displayed any errors. From looking at logs others' have posted...to my own...nothing looked "suspicious". Which is why I didn't post. However, once this encoding is done..and IF build fails...I'll post the fresh logs. Everything else about my reinstall is doing well. Other programs functioning as they should. Which is why I'm Intrigued. If it fails, I'll try the MKVMERGE= option, too.

Just to inform to all the users of nVidia Mobile Cards, BD-Rebuilder (and other multimedia related software such as DVDFab) fails to start after installing the latest beta drivers (295.xx), disabling the nVidia Card (using hardware manager) seams to fix the issue (This is not a BD-Rebuilder bug but may cause confusion)

How about with MKV output builds, does mkvmerge similarly now do the concatenation of segments if multiprocess is used?

With more a little more free space than that matching the Blu-Ray rip AnyDVD did; on the same partition as the "Working Path:" Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Also..Currently, no condom for the OS..meaning no AntiVirus, but do have Malwarebytes AntiMalware. I also disabled it..because of curiosity.

Ive been a BD Rebuiled user for quite awhile now (60+ movies done) and just installed ver 4007. This is the first time Ive ever gotten the "Failed to retrieve audio, aborted" message myself (everything is up to date icluding Anydvd HD with my same usual settings) . This is on the movie "In Time" , and I cant fiqure it out the problem thus far .

Anyone else with the same ???

@soneca

You're talking in circles. I have no idea what you mean by "created by BD Rebuilder"???? BD Rebuilder never "creates" as subtitle. There is a possibility that it could be resized if the output is being resized... is that what you're talking about? If not -- all I can say is the BD Rebuilder simply demuxes it with TSMUXER and remuxes it again. I can't speak for BDSub2sub -- as I don't use it.

Give me context... what are you doing? I can't keep trying to guess what you're talking about. Are you resizing? Are you outputting to DVD?

I think I might add a new module to BD-RB that identifies Norton as trojan... it's only fair.

My recommendation -- dump it and get a better anti-virus package.

lol good one. Norton is out of the question though. I've tested it using 2 different versions of Symantec (Corp and Endpoint) and Kaspersky. All report the same thing unfortunately.

[soneca]

Sorry for the confusion ...
The two screens were taken from AVCHD discs(DVD-9) at 720p, the first has been resized(not created) by BD Rebuilder and the second screen also resized to 720 by BDSup2Sub.

Well... the problem is in the antivirus software, not mine. So please report it to them -- I can't fix their software. This is about the 5th time their "heuristic" algorithms have imagined a problem where none exists... if they can't keep their software from interfering with the day-to-day functioning of the computer -- they need to find another line of work.

Trend Micro Titanium says it's clean...

Anyone else with the same ??? Can you try another disc and see if it still happens?

[soneca]

Thanks!
Perhaps lanczos, very good for undersize.

[jdobbs]

I think most tests pick Bilinear or Bicubic when going smaller and Spline or Lanczos when going in the other direction. But, I did it pretty quickly, so it's possible it needs more tweaking.

[17:40:43] - Failed to REBUILD


I got that failed to rebuild error as well on some test builds recently with MKV output. I observed the encoding completed fine and I could manually mux the final encoded elementary streams to MKV with mkvmerge ok.

I've tried a build today with the new version 0.40.07 with regular directshow/ffdshow serving (no multiprocess) and it didn't have the error and created correctly the MKV output with a 1080p AVC movie title, output as 1080p with 192Kb/s stereo AC3 audio.
However, I just tried an alternate title that was 720x480 MPEG-2, encoded to AVC 720x480 MKV output with 192Kb/s stereo audio and that one failed at the same place as yours. Again the encoded streams were completed fine and just the final MKV merging apparently failed.

[19:21:51] - Failed to REBUILD


So this MKV merging problem seems to happen only with certain titles or formats perhaps?

I watched closely during the final "Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure" stage and though it doesn't appear in the logs, I could see the following messages while that process is happening:
Creating ALTERNATE MOVIE-ONLY Structure (Pt 1)
Creating ALTERNATE MOVIE-ONLY Structure (Pt 2)
each of these steps goes from 0->100% on the "current progress" indicator
and then it gets the "Failed to REBUILD" error message after that.
I can start the build again and it retries that step.
I also observed during this step in the Windows 7 Task Manager, Processes list, I never see "mkvmerge.exe" listed as running...

I don't quite understand what it is doing during that stage, since I can manually just input the already completed elementary streams (video, audio, and chapters) directly to mkvmerge to create an MKV fine with no other processing.
