BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Audiophile1178]

I have done all of the Mummy trilogy and the PiP works fine if you have a player which can handle it.

I tested this info using PowerDVD 11 and OPPO BDP-83 player. I went into the OPPO settings to allow secondary audio. I only tested the mummy 2 with my oppo as I quickly became aware of the problem and halted burning the other two discs. PowerDVD 11 plays all the originals back fine but not the backups.


BTW, did you keep all the audio languages or just the english like me?

Well I have a major problem with 4009, it will start to process the main movie stream and about 20 minutes in will TURN OFF my pc, no warning, no error message, just turns the PC off.

The log doesn't indicate any error and BdRebuilder v 3907 works perfectly.

Also this is on my i7 Quad Core, annoyingly it works perfectly on my old P4 3.2.

Why do the older beta's expire? at least if they didn't I would be able to go back to a previously working version in this sort of circumstance, as it is I now can't shrink 50gb to 25gb. I am NOT expecting something for nothing and I WILL purchase a copy of BdRebuilder once released, in fact I think so highly of the program that I have already donated (twice).

Any chance of having a version of the 3907 version that doesn't expire until this problem is fixed please?

The movie I am trying to shrink at the moment is Transporter 3, although BdRebuilder 4009 exhibits this behaviour with ALL blu rays.

I have reinstalled everything needed for BDrebuilder to work, including avisynth, haali, and FFDshow, I have even tried a clean install with JUST BdRebuilder and the other necessary programs and BdRebuilder stiill just physically turns off my PC, it's just like holding in the power button, it's transcoding away then all of a sudden bang, the computers off. Very frustrating for such a brilliant program, with which I have had NO Problems until now.

about 20 minutes in will TURN OFF my pc, no warning, no error message, just turns the PC off.

Pretty unlikely that this has anything to do with BDRB. A serious programming bug will crash an application, a worse bug will cause a BSOD (blue screen). But when your system just suddenly turns off this is almost always caused by overheating. Your processor is protecting itself from being permanently damaged by too high a temperature.

A BD-Rebuild will start out using moderate resources (during the stream extraction), but once it calls X264 to do the actual video re-encoding the temps will quickly rise, with the second pass (of a 2-pass encode) being the most intense.

I would suggest running a temp monitoring program (something like RealTemp) while you do an encode, and see what the temps get to. Anything below 60c is great, below 80c is fine, 90c is pushing it, and at 100c (depending on your processor) your system will suddenly turn off.

Now clean you heat sink, make sure that all your fans are working, and repeat the process to see if this reduces temps.

I agree with RobertM. If your system is turning itself off it is highly unlikely it has anything to do with BD-RB. It could be overheating (as he mentioned), or it could be some other concurrent app calling for system shutdown. As for the report that it works if you go back a couple version... not sure how that could happen unless there has been a change in settings (e.g. setting multiprocessing could make your system run hotter). There has also been an update to X264 -- but if there were issues there I would expect to hear a lot of reports, as the i7 is a very popular processor.

As for turning off expirations... not yet. If I do that I'd have to keep saying "that was fixed 6 versions ago" for all the outdated reports. That's just more of a headache than I want to endure -- especially when it's under my control. I specifically added the timeout because of my problems with that exact scenario when developing DVD Rebuilder.

I do think the software has gotten to a fairly stable state, though, so I expect I'll be turning the expiration off and releasing v1.00 reasonably soon.

@Audiophile1178

I'll check out one of the Mummy movies and test the 480i/p report. As for it not playing back sound... there is still an issue with DTS Express -- that's the reason I have it supported only via hidden option. I've done a lot of analysis and haven't been able to put my finger on where the issue is... some players accept it and play back fine -- others don't. I'm certain I'm missing something in the remux or update, but I just haven't been able to find what that "something" is.

Well I have a major problem with 4009, it will start to process the main movie stream and about 20 minutes in will TURN OFF my pc,
no warning, no error message, just turns the PC off.

Some time ago I had some issues with BD-RB 0.40.09 and H.264 (MPEG-4 AVC) crashing.
The odd thing is BD-RB 0.40.08 worked OK.
Did some troubleshooting and ended up with lowering the overclocking of
my i7 2600K from 4.5Ghz to 4.4Ghz and voilà!
No more H.264 crash! BD-RB 0.40.09 works like a charm!

[Scorpio1]

First of all thanks to all who replied saying that temperature was probably the reason that my PC suddenly shuts down without warning.

4 problems with this theory.:-

1) It's watercooled and never goes above 38 c even under full load.

2) If I install XP instead of 7 it doesn't crash at all, works a charm. Put Win 7 on it and I am back to the turning off about 20 minutes in. BUT ONLY if I install WIN XP using fat32, ntfs creates the same behaviour.

3) I can play games that will push the CPU and GPU to their limits and the PC will behave impeccably, sometimes for many hours at a time.

4) The PC didn't exhibit this behaviour with v 3907 installed. I am fairly certain if I was able to go back to 3907, the problem would disappear.

Oh and I am NOT overclocking the CPU and memory are stock timings and voltage and at the moment the ONLY programs installed are BdRebuilder, Haali. AVI Synth and Matroska.

Very frustrating, PC is monitored and logged and temp never goes above 38 c, but this bizzare behaviour continues, it did not happen with 3907 though. The only way to be sure is to go back to 3907, which is why I asked if it was possible to stop 3907 telling me it has been superceeded.

[RobertM]

It's watercooled and never goes above 38 c even under full load

Well, temps probably aren't the issue then.

But remember that x264 encoding is more demanding than just about anything else you can do, including gaming. Have you taken a look at the CPU usage to see if it spikes right before the 20 min crash?

Regarding BDRB 3907, can you fool it into working by just setting your clock back?

Also, you could try replacing the version of x264 that comes with 4009 with the one that came with 3907, to eliminate one more variable.

The x264 version (2184) that came with BD-RB 0.40.09 was probably causing the issue I had.
Never had any heat problems, temp always around 50-55°C on 100% load for hours.

I use BD-RB v0.40.09 (beta) and Output Options>Custom Target Size (7700MB). In BD-RB Setup>Audio Encoding Options>'Do not reencode AC3 (Blu-Ray only)' is the only option checked. (The option 'Do not convert DTS to AC3 (Blu-Ray only)' is unchecked.)

But I get some audio results which, IMHO, do not correspond to what I should get according to what I read in the FAQ explanation of the 'Audio checkboxes under SETUP' ( BD Rebuilder (BD-RB) Frequently Asked Questions (forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=157143) ).

1. From my Audio Encoding Options settings I expected that this DTS would be converted to AC3 640 kbps! Am I wrong?

- [06:26:08] Processing audio tracks
- Track 4352 (eng): Keeping original audio <---
where this track is:
Audio
ID : 4352 (0x1100)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : DTS
Format/Info : Digital Theater Systems
Codec ID : 130
Duration : 11mn 5s
Bit rate mode : Constant
Bit rate : 1 510 Kbps
Channel(s) : 6 channels
Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE

The FAQ states 'Important note: Choosing to keep DTS on AVCHD output violates the AVCHD standard and can result in a disc that will not play on some players.' I have checked 'Strict AVCHD for BD-5/9 Movie Only'. I am doing a full backup and my Custom Target Size (7700MB) is well within BD-5/9 size, isn't it? Doesn't the FAQ statement 'choosing to keep DTS on AVCHD output violates the AVCHD standard' also hold for full backups. Anyway, I did not choose to keep DTS.

2. My LPCM 2.0 audio is converted to 192KBs!
From my Audio Encoding Options settings I expected that 'LPCM is always converted to AC3' (FAQ) 224Kbs for 2.0. Why do I get 192Kbs for 2.0?
Why is there no option to select 448Kbs or the default 640Kbs for LPCM 2.0 to AC3 2.0 conversion?

IMHO, even with the FAQ, the Audio checkboxes under SETUP are a little confusing.

3. Wouldn't it be easier for the user to choose from a more explicit audio option selection table?
Example:
Keep HD audio? > Yes / NO
Convert DTS to AC3? > 640Kbs / 448Kbs / 224KBs / 192KBs / NO
Convert LPCM to AC3? > 640Kbs / 448Kbs / 224KBs / 192KBs / NO
...

Higher bitrates than 192 KBs for LPCM to AC3 conversion are especially needed for those concert/opera BDs which only have LPCM audio.

4. Audio/Video Bitrate Calculation _before_ video processing:
I would prefer if the audio/video bitrate calculations and/or the audio part were processed _before_ the time consuming video encoding. Then the audio processing could be checked and corrected immediately. Now, many hours of video encodings have to be redone if the audio choices need correction.

Please make the audio processing choices more unambiguous, easier to understand and predictable for the common user. I am convinced, in the long run, it will pay back by less user errors and less users, like me, calling for support and help.

Please remember, I very much appreciate your great work and program!

this happens when the bluray contains different videos in the same M2TS (1080 and 420)

Bluray is the same, the former was prosecuted MultyAVCH changing the order of the videos to see if that solved the error

Original purchased Blu-ray! :rolleyes:

Sorry, cannot help. :(

@Cela

The only time you have to worry about violating the AVCHD standard is when you are backing up to DVD+-R. Usually that means you are doing a movie-only backup.

I quite often do full backups to BD5/9 for playback on my Sony S360 standalone. I always let BD-RB reencode the audio to 640 DD AC3, since this always works and plays back correctly.
I know some users are making backups for PC based playback, and thus the AVCHD standard may not be as important to them. Seems software players will play back almost anything. :p
What is important is for the user to consider the ultimate playback device and the potential compatibility of the backup for future use. Then the decision for the type of audio to keep will have more relevance! ;)

Then the decision for the type of audio to keep will have more relevance! ;) You're absolutely right. A full backup to DVD+-R is a little different. It depends on the player. If the source uses no BD-J, then (for the most part) the output can become AVCHD compliant. In that case it's almost always better to convert to AC3. Frankly I believe you should always do it anyway, since it is more efficient and the difference can't be detected anyway (at 640Kbs).

[AmigaFuture]

this happens when the bluray contains different videos in the same M2TS (1080 and 420)

The program multiAVCHD (4.1) is good for combining or making playable disks from your backups but there are bugs when processing Blu-ray directories (still). I've carefully processed several of my originals. I like to remove those warnings and more, not just trailers, (from any part of the structure) like DVDReMakePro and PGCEdit do for DVDs but until one is made (Any suggestions anyone?), BD-RB doesn't "play well" with multiAVCHD. Which is why Processed (or produced) Bugs (hehe) aren't supported here. Though, BD-RB's EDIT mode does function ~very well~ where it's at.

I'll pick up one of those discs and see if I can repeat that. Not sure how that could happen... but it obviously can.

[Cela]

... I always let BD-RB reencode the audio to 640 DD AC3...Please tell me how you tell BDRB to convert LPCM 2.0 to AC3 2.0 with 640KBs. I always get 192 KBs but would like to choose 640KBs or 448KBs instead. Do not know how to setup the KBs choice for LPCM input.

For output I use BD9/DVD9 and reduce capacity to 7700MiB for longer lasting burn results. I could use some of the free space for 640KBs recodes of the LPCM audio stream without reducing the excellent video recode quality.

[Cela]

When I use the standard procedure, which works well for practical all of my non-java BDs, with my first and so far only java authorized BD I get a result where the screen remains black instead of showing the BD menu or starting to play the main video.

Nero Kwik (I de-installed PowerDVD a few days ago) plays the original BD back fine but not the backup (sentence borrowed from #15104).

Though I can use the two m2ts from BDRB of the 2 parts of the main movie to let multiAVCHD build a backup without the original menus.

What do I have to observe in order to follow best practice for full backups of java authorized BDs?

LPCM 2.0 only has two channels. 640Kbs AC3 is meant for 5 channels. Two channel audio is indistinguishable from the source encoded at 192Kbs.

What do I have to observe in order to follow best practice for full backups of java authorized BDs? Backup to BD-25. Your player (software or standalone) probably doesn't recognize the BD-J when it is output to a DVD+-R. That's because AVCHD (the standard for HD on DVD+-R) doesn't support BD-J -- it just happens that some players will treat DVD+-R as BD (BD-5/9)... and it works on those.

[Cela]

What??Borrowed sentence:
'PowerDVD 11 plays all the originals back fine but not the backups'

It precisely describes my issue with BDRB rebuild java authored BD if I substitute the words ''PowerDVD 11' (which I recently uninstalled) by my the name of my current software player 'Nero Kwik' which I now use to pre-test BDRB and multiAVCHD output, though I am not talking about PIP but about java authored BD.

From what I see, the player loads a video of the correct time-length of the menu which it should play, but does not start to play it, thus the screen remains black and I cannot see and use the menu and as a consequence I cannot watch menu nor any titles, in short, it does not play the backup.

Have and need java BDs special settings in BDRB, which have to be applied in order to get a visible result?
Can somebody give me some hints what I should observe to avoid that replay issue and to get a working result.?

[jdobbs]

I answered you. I guess that's not the answer you wanted...

Original Blu-rays that have Java menus can be made as movie-only, no menus, and there should be no playback problems, be it software players or standalone players that support the AVCHD standard. ;)

Thank you for your answers! :)

I believe that our postings crossed. You answered while I conceived my answer to RobertM about the sentence I borrowed from his post because it expressed with fewest words what I wanted to say.

I am happy with your answers because they clarify these matters: more than 192 KBs for LPCM 2.0 audio are a waste of disk space and BD-J is a no-go for DVD+-R, thus no extra java-BD setups and hidden options for BD-J.

Though, as a simple user, I would prefer to backup to DVD+R DL because BD-25 are rather expensive where I live.
And as a simple user, I have to admit that I nourished the obviously unrealistic hope for a rebuild of the java menu from java to a 'simple (~speedmenu like)' menu using the menu videos and maintaining the pop-up options to select titles and named chapters.

Is the PS3 among those players that will treat DVD+-R as BD (BD-5/9)... ? Is it worth to burn BDRB's BD-J backup to DVD+DL for PS3 or will I burn a coaster?

Is the 'GoBD' step still needed before burning to DVD+RL for playing on PS3?

Edit:
BD-J on DVD+-R: Verified today, my PS3 V3.40 does NOT support it, neither does my Philips BD Player BDP3100.
Nero10 Kwik plays it perfectly including all menus, though.

BD-25 version plays perfectly on all above mentioned hw and sw players.

'goBD': is needed for non BD-J backups on DVD+-R to play on my PS3.
Does not help to play BD-J backups on DVD+-R on my PS3 or BDP3100.
Does not prevent BD-25 version to play well on my PS3.

What is the official advice concerning 'goBD' before burning to disc?

[sonate]

Backup to BD-25. Your player (software or standalone) probably doesn't recognize the BD-J when it is output to a DVD+-R. That's because AVCHD (the standard for HD on DVD+-R) doesn't support BD-J -- it just happens that some players will treat DVD+-R as BD (BD-5/9)... and it works on those.

The Sharp BD-HP70U is one of those which so far has been able to play everything.

I've tried to convert a few Blu-ray folders with subtitles created by TSMuxer to DVD with the latest version of BD Rebuilder. They have all failed to integrate the subtitles with the same error.

This worked with previous versions.

Can you post your settings (Config/INI contents)? Obviously something is different.

I reran it with different options and got it to work. I don't remember exactly what I changed, but I believe I changed it to use LAVF. I'll play around with it to see if I can reproduce the error. I'm not surprised that you couldn't reproduce it. I believe the same file is present in other disks in the series and I didn't have a problem with those.

In case you're wondering. I run an I7 2600k but it is not overclocked and I haven't observed any temperature issues on my system.

OK. I reproduced the problem. See below:

Ok, I'm a little confused. The INI you provided shows a version of "0.38.0.4", but your log shows "v0.40.09" -- if that were the case and you'd used it, BD Rebuilder would have updated the version number. Also the name of the file would be "BDREBUILDER.INI" rather than "BD_REBUILDER.INI".

I'll try it with those settings, though.

[Revgen]

Everytime I try to use BD Rebuilder, I get this error.

run-time error '75':

Path/File access error

It doesn't seem to matter where I put the working directory or which drive I put it on. Same error every single time. My OS is WinXP SP3.

Does this happen as soon as you launch BD-Rebuilder? If so, then try renaming your BDRebuilder.ini file to something else and see if that helps it get past the initialization hurdle.

[jdobbs]

Does this happen as soon as you launch BD-Rebuilder? If so, then try renaming your BDRebuilder.ini file to something else and see if that helps it get past the initialization hurdle. Sounds like the INI is pointing to a non-existent path. That might happen when, for example, a USB (or other mountable drive) is removed that once was the path for input or output.

Try deleting BDREBUILDER.INI (from the installation folder) before starting BD-RB. It will re-create it with default settings.

[Edit] Too late -- RobertM already answered... ;)

There is no BDRebuilder.ini file in my download archive. And none is created when I start the program. It just gives the error as soon as I double-click.

Hmm, I don't understand. Previously you stated:

You don't assign a working folder until AFTER BD-Rebuilder runs for the first time. Now you are saying that the program never starts at all.

To be clear:

1. you unzip the archive file into a folder on your hardrive. It doesn't matter where you put it ("C:/temp/BDRebuilder" might be a good spot for trial purposes.
2. You have to unzip it so that it retains the directory structure of the zipped archive. I don't think that you can't just unzip the entire contents into the same folder, since some helper apps exist in the subfolder locations.
3. When it runs the first time it will create the BDRebuilder.ini file in the same folder as the BDRebuilder.exe file.
4. Anti virus programs may interfere with launching a new, unknown *.exe file. Do you have any full-time AV running .

Let us know if this needs to be clarified more.

Sounds like you've unzipped to a folder that needs additional privileges for writing...

[Revgen]

This is my home computer. I installed the OS, so it would be strange that I'd have limited privileges.

Anyhoo, I used CACLS on the entire folder. No luck.

My command line was

cacls "E:\BD_Rebuilder" /e /t /p users:f

Any other suggestions?

EDIT:

I turned off anti-virus and anti-spyware too. No luck there either.

[AmigaFuture]

A "working directory" could be a way of describing where the archive is being extracted. A friend of mine says it a lot. Not that it's a setting being set within the program AFTER extraction. Which Jdobbs is probably correct about.

Revgen: If you're using Windows 7, and you've saved the file to some other location than Desktop...try coping the file to the Desktop or re-downloading to Desktop. Windows 7/Vista treats privileges different than XP. Then extract it. Technical support can miss simple steps by being too technical. Hehe. A friend of mine helps Me remember that, often. I hope that's the case here. :)

I'm using WinXP SP3. But thanks for the info on Win 7. I'll remember that when I upgrade.

I unzipped the folder to various drives. The program doesn't work no matter where I unzip it to. All anti-virus programs are turned off and I ran CACLS on the folder just in case it's a write permissions issue as jdobbs suggested.

[AmigaFuture]

You're welcome. It has been a while since I've seen CACLS, so I used Google, and I then knew you were using XP. I may test your encounter with my XP partition this weekend as I have an XP SP3 install. At the moment, my recommendation is to re-download the file. Possible corrupt archive since you typed the INI is not there. What are you using to view/extract the Archive? I use WinRAR for everything; which is also great for dealing with permissions.

[AmigaFuture]

You may have unarchived the archive to different drives...but to make things easier at the moment, what happens when you extract the archive to the Desktop? I'm trying to remove Any possible Bad OS installs, and other things by asking. :)

[Revgen]

Extracted to Desktop using WinRAR. No luck. Same problem.

EDIT

I redownloaded using DownThemAll instead of Firefox's default downloader. Same problem.
