BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[richardrpg]

I just did two separate encodes to MKV. One was multipart and the other was a single part. Both were reencoded to AVC with AC3 audio (1080p DD5.1). I then opened them with TSMUXER... no problem at all. :confused:

Thanks for testing, I just tried again using BD-RB 0.40.07 MKV 1080p DD5.1. Put it through TSMUXER and mux to M2TS but get error "tsMuxer finished with error code-1073741810" and it muxes only 20mb of a 8gb mkv. Windows error log of

Not to worry though, I'll just use an older version of BD-RB, I'm obviously doing something wrong on my side and am not really clued up on all this stuff (I'm a food scientist not a coder) but thanks anyway for your effort in trying to solve my issue. I'm also confused.

[graffight]

I always just copy the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders to a folder I create on my hard drive.

I normally put them on my hard drive as an image if under 25gb and create BDMV and certificate folders if over 25gb then run BDRebuilder.

Encoded the same Blu Ray again using BD-RB v0.39.01, encoded again to MKV container 1080p DD5.1 (same encoding settings as I used on BD-RB v0.40.07 except I just did a quicker 2 pass encode to save time) and put it through TSmuxer and muxed to M2TS, muxes without an issue. I'm totally stumped, the only difference I can see in TSmuxers log is that the MKV made using BD-RB v0.39.01 gives this line "A_AC3, "F:\work2\FINAL_DESTINATION_5_00.MKV", track=2, lang=und" While the same MKV using BD-RB v0.40.07 gives this line "A_AC3, "F:\work2\FINAL_DESTINATION_5_00.MKV", track=2, lang=eng"
I dont see how "und vs eng" can make any difference. i've attached media info texts for each MKV, if that can shed any light.
But really, I don't mind using an older version and will continue to do so. . thanks again

And what program you use to mount the images, what is your operating system?

Thanks, will try , i would never have thought of doing that.

[jdobbs]

Thanks, will try , i would never have thought of doing that. Since the older one has a folder of its own and some support dlls, you'll also have to add a line to the [Paths] area of the INI:

[Paths]
MKVMERGE=c:\path\to\bd_rebuilder\tools\mkvmerge\mkvmerge.exe

[busch42]

graffight, what program do you use to rip to hard drive as an image? Because I use DVDfab an Anydvd to rip to hard drive, And they always put BDMV & Certificate
folders into the folder I create on hard drive.

folders into the folder I create on hard drive. When I rip as an image I use IMGBURN to create the ISO and DAEMON TOOLS to mount it. It's easier, though, to just copy the folders.

[Paths]
MKVMERGE=c:\path\to\bd_rebuilder\tools\mkvmerge\mkvmerge.exe
O.K. so BDREBUILDER.txt should then look like this at the [Paths] section and I just swap out the MKVMerge's in the tools folder.

ALTMETHOD=2
ALTAUTOCROP=0

SOURCE_PATH=E:\

SOURCE_PATH=E:\

MKVMERGE=c:\path\to\bd_rebuilder\tools\mkvmerge\mkvmerge.exe BDREBUILDER.INI... but, of course, you replace "c:\path\to" with whatever path you chose when you installed BD Rebuilder. Then just copy the MKVMERGE folder (under tools) from the old installation to the new one. You can leave the new MKVMERGE.EXE alone since the path statement tells BD-RB to use the other one.

It depends on your choice. Both programs can extract to your hard drive as blu-ray folder or ISO image file.

Encoded the same Blu Ray again using BD-RB v0.39.01, encoded again to MKV container 1080p DD5.1 (same encoding settings as I used on BD-RB v0.40.07 except I just did a quicker 2 pass encode to save time) and put it through TSmuxer and muxed to M2TS, muxes without an issue.

Thanks, will try , i would never have thought of doing that.

I have had, on some rare occasions, tsMuxer complain about certain files. What has worked for me is to demux the file, be it a .ts or .mkv, to its elementary streams and then add those streams individually into tsMuxeR.
I have used dgavcdec for the demux and then put the .264 and .ac3 into tsMuxeR with success! :)

EDIT:
If .m2ts is what you are remuxing the newly created .mkv into, why not just create a movie only Blu-ray and use that .m2ts that was created. This would remove the extra step you are doing! :confused:

[busch42]

Thanks soneca & jdobbs, But I think I will keep ripping blu-ray movie to a folder on my hard drive, I make a folder called the same as the movie, Then when I rip the movie with Fab there is 2 folders inside the folder I created called BMDV & Certificate, The I shrink the movie down to a BD25 with BDrebuilder, then I use IMGburn to burn, Seems to work well for almost all Blu-Rays.

Not much different than the way I do it. I just use AnyDVD as a device driver and copy it directly. It usually takes about 10-15 minutes.

[soneca]

Also I prefer this way, I create images only for 3D movies.

Thanks for the advice Capsbackup and jdobbs, I'm actually making 7.8gb MKV's at 1080p, as I need to save space (I'm a data addict & have been collecting Blu Ray rips for ages) and 800+ Blu Rays without compression will bankrupt me in no time as they are all on HDD's. ( As I also mentioned before, I'm not that versed in encoding and tend to stick with what I know, creature of habit, but you've both shown me I don't actually have a clue what I'm doing and what you've said actually does make sense , so I'll try that)
I did the MKVMERGE swap and it worked perfectly and muxed without a problem, at least I can now stay in 2012 and not have to time travel back to 2011 each time I do an encode.
Thanks again for all the help and keep making BD-RB the only encoder anyone will ever need.

Thanks again for all the help and keep making BD-RB the only encoder anyone will ever need. The only downside to the old MKVMERGE is muxing of PGS subtitles which will be available in the next release of BD-RB. The old MKVMERGE doesn't support them (that's why I upgraded it in the package). But if you can live without them -- there's really no other problem of which I'm aware.

[omegaman7]

That's cool. My LG player seems to support Subtitles in MKV :D (LG BD640)

[AmigaFuture]

My LG player supports SRT in MKV but not SUP. I mostly watch movies with my computer using VLC which does support SUP. I'm glad to know about the next update supporting SUP.

Jdobbs, where you able to "fix" the challenge with Castaway (with Tom Hanks) not Rebuilding?

[colinhunt]

All the media players I use for MKV playback support SUP in MKV. I've been waiting for BD-RB to start muxing SUPs in the MKV output.

I'm way more than happy at the moment, you've solved my little issue and I will cross the subtitle bridge if I ever need to. I'm just so glad I can stay in 2012.:D

[soneca]

That's cool. My LG player seems to support Subtitles in MKV :D (LG BD640)

I think the BD640 only supports .sub and the rest > SubRip (.srt / .txt), SAMI (.smi), SubStation Alpha (.ssa/.txt), MicroDVD (.sub/.txt), SubViewer 1.0 (.sub), SubViewer 2.0 (.sub/.txt), TMPlayer (.txt), DVD Subtitle System (.txt)

[omegaman7]

Ok, perhaps that statement was premature. The MKV I do have, has a subtitle in it, and it appears to use it properly. I guess when BD rebuilder begins the new subtitle capability, I'll play with it more ;)

I have it on my hard drive... but I forgot that I put it there and that I was going to test it. I'll run it later today. If I remember correctly you were attempting an MKV output using 1920x1080p with intact audio, right?

[busch42]

Wow jdobbs, only takes you about 10-15 minutes to rip a Blu-Ray with Anydvd, You must have a fast machine or I have a slow one, Takes me about 30 to 40 minutes with DVDfab, might have to switch programs.

Wow jdobbs, only takes you about 10-15 minutes to rip a Blu-Ray with Anydvd, You must have a fast machine or I have a slow one, Takes me about 30 to 40 minutes with DVDfab, might have to switch programs. Well -- now that I give it more thought, 20-25 minutes is probably more like it.

[busch42]

That's still good, Like I said before, good 30 to 40 minutes to rip to hard drive then 2 1/2 to 3 hours to shrink with BDrebuilder to a BD25 then about 45 minutes to burn.

[jdobbs]

Jdobbs, where you able to "fix" the challenge with Castaway (with Tom Hanks) not Rebuilding? Thanks for reminding me. It was a simple error -- but it only showed up if BD-RB detected an audio delay... that movie had a very small delay that caused that section of code to be executed.

I've fixed it for the next release.

I forgot to also mention that I'm doing what I'm doing ,(the TSmuxer or MKV2VOB step) to also add a fat32 file split as I share my movies with friends who only have PS3's to watch HD. As you know PS3 can only read FAT32 ext HDD's. Can your method add that step or must I put the output through a splitter ?

Wow jdobbs, only takes you about 10-15 minutes to rip a Blu-Ray with Anydvd, You must have a fast machine or I have a slow one, Takes me about 30 to 40 minutes with DVDfab, might have to switch programs.

It depends on the content per disk. As well as optical drive. ;)


@ Jdobbs, You're Welcome. :-D Glad I could assist, heh heh.

You should check to see if your BR-rom has not got a "riplock" firmware installed, I removed mine & my read speed has increased from 10mb/s to 30mb/s and higher. Just ripped Columbiana to an iso and total time is 12min, its a small iso though, only 23gb.

Just ripped Columbiana to an iso and total time is 12min, its a small iso though, only 23gb. Right -- I should have mentioned that. Most drives limit their read speed on video discs to lower noise levels. I ran MediaCodeSpeedEdit against my drive's firmware and disabled RipLock.

[omegaman7]

I left riplock :S I'm afraid increasing the read speed, will affect the longevity of the drive :p

[michgaud]

I experienced severe out of sync AV issues upon the first use of Version 0.40.07. I also had multiple Pixellated images about every 2 to 3 Minutes in the Video. I went back to V 0.40.04 and was able to process the disc with an excellent result. I then went back to V 0.40.07 and deleted Multiprocess from the config file and ran the disc again and everything came out perfect. Hope this helps

Hope this helps I think it may have been an anomaly and removing MULTIPROCESS was coincidental ... too many others are successfully using MULTIPROCESS.

I'm at a loss as to how splitting a process could cause pixelation...

[omegaman7]

I suppose that makes sense :p

[michgaud]

Sync issues were what caused the most heartache. I am not sure of the correlation of that to Multiprocess or if there is one. It was the only variable I changed in the equation. Have run more discs with the newer version without Multiprocess and there have been none of the earlier sync issues.

Backing up Twilight Breaking Dawnn. It's for the kids Really. Anyway I did the movie only backup. The first 15 minutes has scenes out of order. People are talking then all of a sudden they are just then walking in the room then the conversation is way far ahead. It's weird. Just for the heck of it I'll try backing up my whole disk. Maybe that will work better. Anybody seen this maybe with another movie?

Apparently the one selected is for some type of extra (or purposeful obfuscation).

A full backup will work...

[omegaman7]

I thought that full backups won't work with Java protection.

For a movie only backup, it's playlist 689 :D

[jdobbs]

I thought that full backups won't work with Java protection.

For a movie only backup, it's playlist 689 :D Full backups work with BD-25 (for all players, BD-J or not). They also will work on BD-5/9 if the player supports it (like my Sony and my Samsung standalones). There's a thread here somewhere that lists players that support it.

[NightHawkGuy]

This will to BD-25 (for all players). They also will work on BD-5/9 if the player supports it (like my Sony and my Samsung standalones). There's a thread here somewhere that lists players that support it.

[busch42]

Thanks guys, I never heard of riplock firmware, Guess I learn something new everyday that's why I love sites like this, The reason I said 30 to 40 minutes to rip to hard drive is because I have only done about 15 Blu-Rays and so far each one has been in the 30's to 40's gb size. Right now I'm doing the movie Puss in boots which I just bought at Wal-mart and it is 43GB. I ran DVDfab thru it successfully now I'm trying to shrink to BD25 with BDrebuilder.
