BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

I greatly look forward to more advancements. A simplistic menu would be very appealing. Perhaps a design, that allows the user to import their own buttons. For instance, I love creating my own PNG images, and adding them to the appropriate Nero Vision folders ;)

Never tried it with ConvertX. Perhaps that's possible though. That's likely in a couple more releases. But first I need to address the bugs being reported.

Frankly, though, I'm doing this for selfish reasons, as I like to combine vintage series discs from DVD into BD format. The import is just the first step into supporting that.

[omegaman7]

Thanks for the clarification. Donation on the way. I had a very hefty payday :D

What are you using to play it back? I've tested with two Samsung standalone players and with PowerDVD 11 -- and both are working correctly. Is this NTSC or PAL? What disc are you trying?I'm testing The Transporter PAL disc, subtitles work in PDVD 12, but not TMT 5. In TMT 5 it plays back random lines of the subtitles, so you'll get one screen of subtitles, then you may not get any for a few seconds or a few minutes even though people are still talking

[jdobbs]

I'm testing The Transporter PAL disc, subtitles work in PDVD 12, but not TMT 5. In TMT 5 it plays back random lines of the subtitles, so you'll get one screen of subtitles, then you may not get any for a few seconds or a few minutes even though people are still talking Ugghh... I hate it when it works on one player and not another, especially the "random line" thing. There's only one format, why would it act differently (especially in the way it draws from the provided description)?

Oh well... there may be a lot of horsecrap covering the floor -- but at least that indicates that there's a pony in there somewhere.

[sytyguy]

I imported 1 movie successfully, and subtitles were there.

[Adbear]

I also made an MKV of the same disc, the MKV plays back in PDVD 12, but crashes MPC-HC and makes TMT 5 lock up before it ever starts playing the file

[Ch3vr0n]

What are you using to play it back? I've tested with two Samsung standalone players and with PowerDVD 11 -- and both are working correctly. Is this NTSC or PAL? What disc are you trying?


What i'm using is TMT 5.3, i'll burn it to a blank DVD-R. Might aswell test if my player can do BD5 on the same go

Pal disc, which disc see my log post. Tested the ISO with PDVD 11 aswell, PDVD11 plays it just fine subs too. So looks like it's a TMT 5 issue

[jdobbs]

I also made an MKV of the same disc, the MKV plays back in PDVD 12, but crashes MPC-HC and makes TMT 5 lock up before it ever starts playing the file You ran it through BD-RB and created the MKV from there? I can't imagine how you could have issues there. MKV doesn't have much in terms of rules about formats for the most part -- and the MKV is created with MKVMERGE -- which is very reliable.

[Adbear]

Yep, after building the Blu-ray I just told it to make an MKV from the same disc[09/14/12] BD Rebuilder v0.42.03 (beta)

hello jdobbs
would be possible to add a function to "pause" while processing 1 pass or 2 pass.

when you cancel .. you have to redo the entire pass again. It would be great and appreciated

Sorry. There's really no reliable way to do that.

Hello team BD, I know this is not a bug or anything, but I see a lot of you fellows discussing this new way of transforming a regular DVD into a HD format
I would like to understand this new way of importing a DVD and transcode it into a Blu ray Farmat. What do I need to have and how to make the job complete..
Do I burn one of DVD collection in the hard drive with clonedvd and then use BD rebuilder to import it via file import dvd, and let BD rebuilder do it’s fantastic thing.. Thank you Mr. jdobbs for a cool and wonderful software!!! my hat off to you Sir.

After it is imported, BD-RB will be pointing to the import and when you have the settings the way you'd like them -- personally I would select "Convert SD to HD" -- just click on the "Backup" button.

Are these original commercial discs? Are you positive the problem isn't already there before processing? I've gotten no other reports of anything even remotely similar to this. I'd suggest you uninstall BD-RB, HAALI, FFDSHOW, and AVISYNTH -- then reinstall all of them following the first post of this thread exactly. Something has to be interfering.

Another possibility... is your system overclocked? That scenario might happen if somehow your computer is overheating and X264 is dumping out halfway through the encode... most of the time, though, you'd expect a "crash" message, but stranger things have happened.

Hi Mr. jdobbs thanks for the quick response as always, I get this:no working path specified. Cannot import.
Sorry for not getting it.. I click file in BD rebuilder, click on import, click import (DVD only) browse for folder, and then I click the drive where the DVD is, i get the message; no working path specified. cannot import. sorry for taking your valueble time , your rather spend it solving issues with BD reb.:o:thanks:

It's the original DVD disc " DUNE disc 1"; "not a copy" and still get no working path specified. cannot import. I have BD reb. setup to convert to sd to hd. and your regular specific setup..

[jdobbs]

It's the original DVD disc " DUNE disc 1"; "not a copy" and still get no working path specified. cannot import. I have BD reb. setup to convert to sd to hd. and your regular specific setup.. This might be a silly question... but have you set a working path (the second browse button at the top of the dialog)? You have to select a place for BD-RB to store things before it can import -- otherwise it has nowhere to put the files.

[LowDead]

I also got the "no working path specified" error and after putting in a working path it worked flawlessly. Maybe it is good to have a check built in and if no working path is selected there will be a pop up window to specify the working path (instead of the error message)?

Seems like you implemented something on Dvd Rebuilder if no working path was specified.

[jdobbs]

Seems like you implemented something on Dvd Rebuilder if no working path was specified.

I think the problem was that the code was allowing you to browse for the file or folder to import first -- and then gave the error after the fact. That makes it confusing as to what the issue really is. So I moved the check for the working folder up front, and now it asks you to set a working folder before you can browse for something to import.

Yes Sir Mr. jdobbs it looks like i needed to select the working folder first and than imports the movie.. thank you BD team.:)

[sytyguy]

I had the same problem, but it was obvious to me to direct it to a "working Path". In fact, I put it into the "INI" file, and it worked like a charm. I'm sorry, but I don't understand the problem, it seems so obvious.

And I'm a novice at this.

Dear jdobbs,
this kind of movie is only decrypt from the commercial disc,
i've downloaded from the same website hundred of this kind and never has this problem.
The problem starts with battleship and so the avengers and cinderella...
Also i've tried to rip this blu ray on my desktop pc and on the notebook with same results..

What difference does that make? You don't have the original discs and therefore you have no idea what pre-processing was done when the disc was ripped. If you read through this long thread he's said many times he will not do bug reports on torrents as you have no idea what's been done to them.

From the very first post in this threadBD-RB is meant as a means of backing up copies of discs THAT YOU OWN

[Ch3vr0n]

That and the fact that this is not a pirated movies support forum.

Also i've tried to rip this blu ray on my desktop pc and on the notebook with same results.. I'm sorry, but I have to go with what the evidence provides. You're convinced it isn't your source or your system that is the root of the problem. Then how do you balance that against the the thousands of thousands of others who are successfully using the software and aren't losing any of the movie? I've personally done way over 3000 encodes (probably closer to 4000) in testing... and have never had your report happen even once. I also have yet to get another report of anyone having that issue -- and that is one that would be pretty obvious.

My rule for only supporting reports from original sources isn't philosophical or judgemental -- it is based on my considerable experience, which has proven to me that 99% of all bug reports that involved preprocessed sources were caused by the preprocessing and not my software. The other 1% will come to light in commercial discs as well.

Please try testing on at least one commercial disc -- and I think you'll find that it works correctly. If not, post your log and let's talk.

Links to content of a questionable nature (e.g. anything you don't own and/or have downloaded), asking for, offering, or asking for help/helping to process such content in any way or form is not tolerated. So, yeah, it is strictly against the rules.

I certainly don't know whare you get the idea I'm helping him. In fact my first response after his revealing the source was downloaded was telling him he wasn't going to get help (after it had already been clearly stated by Adbear). I think it is pretty straightforward in reviewing the posts following that point that no one else has "helped" him in anything related to his downloads or with the problem he reported since it became apparent that it was a download.

But as I said, my refusal to go any further is more from a practical perspective than a philosophical one. I'm don't have to slam him... I'm just not going to accept a bug report against a downloaded source. In other words -- I don't need to be judgmental in this case, because downloaded sources are rejected for a more objective reason.

Can't seem to get the "IMPORT_FOLDER" option to work. Likely doing something wrong. I also notice it's not in the hiddenopts.txt file.

Could we get a brief description/directions on how this option works? I tried the exact command in the INI file, as well as the directory "IMPORT_FOLDER=(Directory/folder with vid files)". No apparent changes have been made to the GUI to support the importing of a folder?

I suppose since it's a hidden option, you wouldn't update the GUI ;)

[Ch3vr0n]

its not a hidden option and works just fine. The GUI HAS been changed and the import feature is under the first menu. "File", you need v42.03 for it

[omegaman7]

What I meant was, the GUI hasn't been changed to accommodate a FOLDER import. Files work just fine. Have you gotten it to load multiple files simultaneously?

I see Batch queue allows the selecting of multiple files. That may be all I need :S

Blind as a bat!!! Batch Queue is plural. My apologies.

That's likely in a couple more releases. But first I need to address the bugs being reported.

Frankly, though, I'm doing this for selfish reasons, as I like to combine vintage series discs from DVD into BD format. The import is just the first step into supporting that.

OOoohhh...Awesome! I'm diggin' your selfishness. It's an awesome way to live, and it flows to others. Much more healthy and fun than the other "normal" way. I've noticed something with my DVDs of "The Mentalist", the "Extras", or smaller streams aren't shown in the import list. I'm using HandBrake for them, curently. I haven't tried many DVDs yet..so... Do the smaller "Extras" show for you?

Sweet to know it's a step to more, jdobbs!

Sweet to know it's a step to more, jdobbs! I put an arbitrary threshold at 15 minutes. Anything less than that isn't included for consideration. That way most DVDs don't require you to decide on a title -- since there is only one that is over 15 minutes. I'll probably add an option in the next release where you can set that threshold to any value.

I suppose since it's a hidden option, you wouldn't update the GUI ;)I'm using it now. Here's how I'm doing it:

I have a D: drive that I used for my encodings. It has a few working folders on it (WORKING1, WORKING2...). If I leave BD-RB at it's default, and I have "D:\WORKING1\" selected -- the IMPORTS folder will be created on-demand in WORKING1 (when I import). But it is faster and more efficient if I keep the imports on another drive. I have a 3TB drive that is referenced as P:\ that I like to use for this kind of purpose. So I added this to the "[Options]" area of my config/INI file:

IMPORT_FOLDER=P:\

So now when I import -- the BD and Psuedo-BD structures will be automatically saved in a folder called "P:\IMPORTS\".

By the way, the intermediate files (.264, .MPV, .AC3, .DTS, etc) that are used when collecting the files/converting, etc. are stored in a folder called TEMPIMPORT in the working folder. But it is removed immediately after it is used.

[omegaman7]

Ok. I believe I understand. Thanks :) I too have multiple 2/3Tb drives.

Really? Pretty simple; the post I responded to could/should have simply said "I can't help with your downloaded material" but instead you expended all this energy, which starts with an APOLOGY for cryin' out loud:

I'm sorry, but I have to go with what the evidence provides. You're convinced it isn't your source or your system that is the root of the problem. Then how do you balance that against the the thousands of thousands of others who are successfully using the software and aren't losing any of the movie? I've personally done way over 3000 encodes (probably closer to 4000) in testing... and have never had your report happen even once. I also have yet to get another report of anyone having that issue -- and that is one that would be pretty obvious.

My rule for only supporting reports from original sources isn't philosophical or judgemental -- it is based on my considerable experience, which has proven to me that 99% of all bug reports that involved preprocessed sources were caused by the preprocessing and not my software. The other 1% will come to light in commercial discs as well.

Please try testing on at least one commercial disc -- and I think you'll find that it works correctly. If not, post your log and let's talk.
Just because I'm paranoid, that doesn't mean there aren't forces at work to try to put Doom9 out-of-existence! :p

I just believe there's never anything wrong with a little common courtesy.

Ahhhh.. I thought it would be something like that. Okay. For now, HandBrake. Thank You.

"I just believe there's never anything wrong with a little common courtesy."

Nice. Agreed.

Revisiting "Toy Story"...before I tested MKV output, and it's been a while since I watched my Blu-ray...I figured I'd make a backup with extras kept except trailers and warnings. The main screen "jerks" a little before the menu shows and the rest of the menu is smooth. Selecting play, the warnings are gone, as checked, but playing from 17 minutes 37 seconds to 17m 54s, I can hear the switch between streams and notice the out of sync with video and audio that happens with my LG (Standalone) Blu-ray player. That's as far as I've watched and listened.

Logs look good, so...not sure what to share other that visual and audio experience. Let me know...and I'll share it. Thanks. Movie & Menus, Edit Mode, Quicker and MULTI-PROCESS active. I disabled MP, same thing. I'll set for full backup next.

0.42.03.

Update: I'm attempting a Full Backup with Quick for extras, and BD-RB reports this error: "BD Rebuilder experienced an error 1801 [12:52:27] ReencodeAudio() 00075 1801".
I'll deactivate "Quicker" and see what BD-RB does.

Update: I burned the rip to a RW..same jitter noticed. I'll have AnyDVD HD rip again soon. Some other testing with other stuff..

Ran AVATAR_CE_D2 And Disc 3 last night in batch mode. D2 came out 2Gb over sized under "Better" quality setting. I used X264 LAVF frame server. I now plan to use DGDecNV for frameserving on this one. I recall it being more intelligent about output sizes :p

I'm afraid I didn't save any of the output, given I'm coming very close to full hard drives. 13Tb, And I'm close LOL! :S
