BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[drmih]

No great issue but is there a reason why it's so difficult to get the disc sizes accurate? Re-encoding to bd-9, full disc, highest quality, 2 pass, the output can vary by 400 to 500 Mb. Admittedly it's only once in a blue moon (maybe 1 in a 100) that it exceeds the capacity, and you can usually see the issue coming because of an unusual number audio tracks. I assume that it is audio related, as bd-25, where I leave the audio untouched, are always pretty much spot on.

[colinhunt]

Odd problems on the new laptop continue, even with DISABLE_VIDEO_SLEEP in the ini file. Running "Being There" (Warner, VC-1) again with DGDecNV and multiprocess=1 enabled. No red X symbols in the error message this time, but a dialog window with Yes, No and Cancel buttons saying "Error: cuInit failed". Yes/No/Cancel buttons choose if the process should be resumed and how this particular error is reported in the future.

Googling reveals the dialog window is DGDecNV related so perhaps this is something I should take up with neuron2 instead.

I assume that it is audio related, as bd-25, where I leave the audio untouched, are always pretty much spot on. You have to estimate what the size will be before you set the bitrate for encoding. Unfortunately the M2TS muxing takes space also and it is very inconsistent. One audio track may take considerably more overhead in muxing than another -- even though they are very similar. For example -- it's not unusual for a 192Kbs AC3 track to result in a larger M2TS than a 224Kbs AC3 track of the exact same audio.

It is much better than "once in a blue moon" if you leave BD-RB at the default output sizes. I have done well over 2000 encodes in testing and have never had a single oversize.

BD-RB doesn't set the DISABLE_VIDEO_SLEEP option with the O/S until the actual video encode starts, and it then resets the timeout every few minutes as the encode is executing. It is possible that the timeout for your video card is so short that it has already kicked in during the audio demuxing? I wouldn't be surprised -- as laptops can get aggressive with those settings to save battery. You can check it with the Control Panel's advanced power options.

jdobbs, thanks for the 40.08 TSMuxer subs update. Works great.

[brunchto]

Hi,

thanks for adding angle selection in other movie playlist... but i didn't manage to have it work.
on "star wars- a new hope", french scrolling title is on angle 5. i choose playlist XXX / angle 5, then backup. in the resulting iso, scrolling title is always in english. when i do "preview item", the title is also in english. whatever angle i choose, it's always the 00300 track which is extracted instead of 0030X (0.40.08)

[omegaman7]

Not necessarily. Rentals often are easier to make a backup copy, than the retail instore version. Sometimes they don't need any processing before burning. No extras to deal with, etc. I won't shun a rental backup, but I do prefer extras and a flashy menu :p

You do realize, that some of your helper applications need updating? Haali, FFDSHOW.

There are legitimate reasons for backing up a rental copy.

They were commercial discs from my collection. I review them before burning a backup disc

[Bronxboybob]

@Bronxboybob

Hi!

Sounds like a videocard problem...

It carries over the burned disc and shows the same way on a standard blu-ray player

[Bronxboybob]

1. Are you playing it back on a standalone player?

2. What are you using as a source? Is it a commercial Blu-ray disc that was ripped immediately before the reencode? I ask because that often is an indicator that the source isn't a legal blu-ray resolution. A lot of the MKV sources that are sometimes converted to BD have been resized to remove borders and can cause that symptom.

They were commercial discs from my collection. I review them before burning to a backup disc. The green bar carries over to the burned disc.

It's something unique to your system for sure... there are many, many people using this software and the green bar is only on yours... if you haven't done so already -- uninstall and reinstall everything. Something has to be interfering with the frame serving.

@busch42

I'm running that disc right now -- it's about 50% complete... so the problem has to be in your config. I'd recommend you reinstall HAALI, FFDSHOW, and AVISYNTH. I'd also take a close look at other software you are using, because something is apparently overriding your settings. If you have any "Codec Packs" or other similar packages installed, you really should dump them. With FFDSHOW installed you really don't need any others.

[jc243]

Hi, I have same error that busch42, I uninstall all codecs packs and Ccleaner over register, reinstall recommended software but still problem encode stopped on 12%.

I have another BD Band of Brothers no problem to encode, possible bad rip?

[yahknow1]

Hello, I've been using your program for about a year now jdobbs and it is fantastic, thanks! I recently noticed something I hadn't before and was hoping someone could give me a quick explanation?

Settings>Encoder Settings>High-Speed Option(BD-25)

I ALWAYS use BD-25 for my recording medium and I have tried every setting value except this one? Also how does it relate to the single pass CBR and ABR setting?

a simple post refrence would be fine if this has alread been hashed out multiple times sorry, this thread is just HUGE and I'm terrible at using the search function

[jdobbs]

@jc243

What kind of processor are you using? I've asked this of about 10 other people who have had random failures and for some reason everyone just ignores the question... I'm trying to see if X264 may have issues with certain processors -- because it never crashes for at least 90% of the users.

If I were you I'd look inside my computer for problems -- like dust etc... because your log shows several successful encodes before the crash -- and that's likely something that is heat related. If you're overclocking -- that's the most likely problem.

By the way, your problem doesn't seem to be related to busch42's at all -- his failed when it tried to encode, yours completed several M2TS encodes before it appears to have crashed in the middle of another... one is an indicator of a config problem, and the other a system issue.

a simple post refrence would be fine if this has alread been hashed out multiple times sorry, this thread is just HUGE and I'm terrible at using the search function That option uses the fastest of all settings. It is a one-pass encode using X264's ultrafast setting with only a couple of tweaks to keep it Blu-ray compatible. I made it available for BD-25 only, because it doesn't take advantage of some bells-and-whistles that are really needed for reasonable quallity on BD-5/9.

Thanks for answer jdobbs,

Well My PC Processor is:

AMD Phenom X4 AM3+ 3.2Ghz Hmm... not much different than mine... since that's a newer processor I'd rule out X264 support as an issue. Heat still seems to be the first thing to check. I know mine can get overheated with just a little dust buildup.

You might want to try running CPUID's freeware HW Monitor during the encode just to watch temps...

[jc243]

I resume work start encode again and unexpectedly stopped, test in my laptop Core I5 same problem.

Thanks for that answer jdobbs I have another question. I recently upgraded my CPU from Phenom II X2 to a Phenom II X6. One reason being to speed the process of encoding up. So I was wondering:

A) Can BD Rebuilder take advantage of multicores and if so how many? or is this determined by the individual programes running within BD Rebuilder?

B) I'm using BD-25 medium. In order to achieve the highest possible quality in both video and audio what setting would I use, if time was no object? I have tried "keepHD audio for BD-25" and " Highest" checked in the encoder setting, was this the propper way? If so, the only question remaining would be should I leave the CBR and ABR unchecked?

Thanks

[RobertM]

A) Can BD Rebuilder take advantage of multicores and if so how many?

Yes it can, but it is a hidden setting. Look in the "hiddenopts.txt" file (in the same folder as BDRB.exe) for information.

B) I'm using BD-25 medium. In order to achieve the highest possible quality in both video and audio what setting would I use, if time was no object? I have tried "keepHD audio for BD-25"

Keeping HD audio is probably not a good idea. It takes a lot of space and yields negligible (or, really, "no") audible benefit. The space used for the HD audio would be much better used for higher quality video encoding.

"Highest" checked in the encoder setting, was this the propper way? If so, the only question remaining would be should I leave the CBR and ABR unchecked?

Highest is probably overkill. With BD25, "good" is probably good enough, but if you don't mind waiting a long time for the encode to finish then "highest" will be, technically, the best quality. And, yes, for best quality uncheck both CBR and ABR to get 2-pass encoding.

Thanks A. Yes. X264 is where most of the time is spent and it is capable of using all 6 of those processors. If you find that 100% of the processor utilization isn't used you can also try "MULTIPROCESS=1" in the config/INI file so that the frame-serving also takes advantage of the multiple processors.

B. Just select "High Quality (Default)" -- there is one setting that is higher, but on a BD-25 you'll never need that... leave both CBR and ABR unchecked for best quality. I would not recommend keeping HD audio, as in my opinion it is a marketing gimmick (substantiated by double blind tests) that contributes nothing but subtracts from video quality.

[Edit] Once again I'm late with my answer as I see you've already been advised by RobertM

Hi, been using BD Rebuilder for some time now, done quite a few backups but every now and then I get a fail and it always seems to be the same issue.

Error in attempt to extract audio/subs.
AV frame too large (xxxxx bytes) increase buffer
Failed to retrieve audio.

Been reading a few posts but nothing seems to resolve things. Good chance I'm doing something wrong though!!

Currently using the latest edition (v0.40.08)

Actually, just as I'm writing this I've seem the comments above on HD Audio and the hint not to use it. I do, all the time thinking it was better quality. Would this option have any relation the failures??

I do honestly appreciate any replies/ideas :)

I have same error that busch42 and jc243 on v40.08, get stuck at 60%.It came up H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) encoder has stopped working. Then I tried v40.07 works fine no problem. They both use the exact same version of X264... and BD-RB is pretty much sitting back watching when the encode is happening -- so what you're saying doesn't jive...

Also -- neither of the two you are quoting are having the same issue with each other -- so how am I supposed to read that?

[jdobbs]

jdobbs, Thanks for the reply, I finally got hugo finished after 3 tries, I just kept retrying, But it doesn't play right, But since I have been having problems and there isn't much on my new computer I'm going to try to find an delete anything that might be conflicting with BDrebuilder, And delete any codecs like you suggested, Also I have a Geforce 8600 video card built into my motherboard is there any chance that could be the problem? All I can say is that I did the exact same version of Hugo as you -- and it worked fine. That doesn't leave a lot of possible issues. What's different? Your computer v.s. mine... and I unfortunately that means it's something outside of BD-RB, and out of my control.

Sorry... but facts are facts.

Thanks for getting back to me. This is the latest message I received after updating the software and other components

[13:50:01] - Failed video encode, aborted Go into the FFDSHOW video setup and set VC-1 to "wmv9" -- something has overridden your WMP11 as the default. Get rid of any codec packs if you have any installed.

Also update your version of BD-RB... you're two releases behind.

Just updated to the latest version and getting "encoding failed, aborting."

It appears that everything is "ok," so what do I do? Thanks.

@MorbidPenguin

Have you installed any 64 bit versions of AVISYNTH, FFDSHOW, or HAALI? If so, remove them. BD-RB requires the 32 bit versions. Either way remove HAALI, FFDSHOW, and AVISYNTH and reinstall exactly as specified and in the order as outlined in the first post of this thread. Something appears to be interfering with them.

[busch42]

jdobbs, I was on your site and noticed that Rebuilder Pro hasn't been updated since July 2008, Is this program no longer available?

[jdobbs]

DVD Rebuilder Pro is certainly still available. But it currently has no outstanding bug reports, and frankly I've added just about every bell-and-whistle I can think of to it... so the reason it hasn't been updated is because there really isn't anything worthwhile to update. Some have asked for support for CCE SP3 -- but I've gotten fed-up with that company completely changing their ECL formats with every new release and have decided not to support SP3 because HC Encoder is just as good, is free, and isn't a pain-in-the-ass.

Add to that the fact that BD is the wave of the future and will certainly replace DVD -- and it makes sense that I've decided it is better to spend my time working on BD Rebuilder instead. That doesn't change the fact that DVD Rebuilder is the highest quality backup solution available for DVDs... but I want to be forward-looking rather than expending my programming efforts dwelling in the past.

I've also found that some folks would rather make their contribution to BD-Rebuilder by donating for the Pro version of DVD Rebuilder. That way they get to help with development -- and still get DVD-RB Pro as a "bonus".

[busch42]

So can I do Blu-Rays with Rebuilder Pro? Just wondering before I make a donation, because if Rebuilder Pro does what I want which is just shrink a Blu-ray to a BD25 then I will pay for the Pro edition.

[jdobbs]

So can I do Blu-Rays with Rebuilder Pro? Just wondering before I make a donation, because if Rebuilder Pro does what I want which is just shrink a Blu-ray to a BD25 then I will pay for the Pro edition.No. That's why it is called DVD Rebuilder. Because it does DVDs, not BDs. BD Rebuilder is the software for blu-ray (BD) backup. Whether you decide to contribute to the project through donation is completely up to you. Of course you can probably guess my opinion on that... ;)

I currently have no plans to create a Pro version of BD Rebuilder... I'm hoping I can keep it going based upon voluntary donations. I'll reserve the right to change my mind if donations dry up... but I currently have no plans to do so. Frankly it's a pain trying to keep the pirates and hackers from patching it and ruining its reputation when their poorly hacked downloads fail to work or they load a trojan into it -- and I really want to avoid having to go through that again. By keeping it free I can always tell people to download it from my site with the full confidence it's exactly as I compiled it.

[busch42]

Thanks jdobbs, After I looked again I noticed the difference between the 2, Guess that was kind of a dumb question on my part. I know we already talked about the movie Hugo, But just want to say I tried it and it only went 9% this time, Doing it again and it went pass 9% right now and it's reencoding, but it only goes for so long then comes
up 264 cannot continue, Sure wish I could fiqure this out because I just did a Blu-ray with BDrebuilder last week, I'm going to blow the dust out next, maybe it is over heating after so long.
