BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Hooman]

There is other useful information in the log... for example, was it a full backup or a movie-only? But I guess you decided it wasn't needed and provided something I didn't ask for instead.
I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. When I saw ‘encode log,’ I assumed it referred to the process of x264/video encodings and their stats, rather than the project’s log.

I sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding. When I saw ‘encode log,’ I assumed it referred to the process of x264/video encodings and their stats, rather than the project’s log.No biggie.

[Hooman]

It’s not an issue with the encodes. Whenever the clip (the streams) contains a part at its start that is to be skipped according to its corresponding playlist file, BD-RB doesn't retain the (PlayItem's) IN_Time at its original value and changes it to 00:00:00:00. This could be due to the commands BD-RB sends to tsMuxer (Or the "Rebuilding BD file Structure"). The attached image shows the original structure as imported into Scenarist by a BD-Reauthor script. The black frame that reads ‘Cinerama Everywhere, RT 8:20…’ is a shot of the short part at the start of the clip that is not intended to be played back.

If I rebuild the same title (even with the FORCE_NOENCODE=1 flag?) and then import the rebuilt version into Scenarist for re-authoring, the aforementioned IN_Time is not the same as in the original MPLS. When that playlist/clip is called from the disc menu, those few frames at the start of the clip play back because the IN_Time has changed. Maybe something like BDTools can correct it in MPLS files.

PS
For this particular clip, the “IN_time” of the PlayItem and the “mark_time_stamp” of the first “PlayListMark” in the original playlist MPLS (converted by BDTools to readable JSON) is 27167041. However, in the BD-Rebuilt version, it has changed to 27000000.

I believe this issue can only be resolved by a reverse conversion of the JSON file back into an MPLS playlist after BD-RB’s work.

BDEdit can also revert the PlayItem IN_time from the initial setting to the original authored value. However, I am curious as to why this behavior occurs in the first place. Is "Rebuilding BD file Structure" a process similar to what IfoUpdate did during the DVD era? Does it fail to read the original IN_time value, or is the issue caused by the muxing process when the main clip of the PlayItem is changed?

[ROB271]

Hello, i would like to report a bug thats been present in BD-RB for a couple of years now

When dolby vision support was first added to BD-RB there was an initial release where the dolby vision track was given the wrong stream ID, this bug was promplty fixed by the author BUT was never fixed in the internal routine that handles the correction of bitstream exception errors returned by tsmuxer, resulting in the m2ts file where bitstream exception occured being unplayable with dolby vision enabled.

If i then demux BD-RB output the dolby vision track on an affected m2ts file where bitstream exception occured demuxes as track_4114 rather than track_4117.

Im hoping this is just a code correction for the author.

Thankyou

I'll take a look at it.

Hello j dobbs, did you get chance to look at the above bug, Regards

[DoctorM]

New Win OS and installation of BD Rebuilder first being used today and I received the "TSMUXER ERR: 0xFFFFFFFF" error trying to do a movie only rebuild.

I saw a few instances of it mentioned here but never a solution. Digging around I found that one of the .M2TS files was accidentally missing so the .MPLS couldn't find ALL the video files in the main movie's playlist.
Putting the missing video back and the error went away.

I don't know if that's why anyone else got that error, but I just thought I should mention it in case it helps others.

[jdobbs]

Hello j dobbs, did you get chance to look at the above bug, RegardsI have it on my list of things to do. Unfortunately I haven't had a lot of time recently to work on BD Rebuilder, but I hope to address the things on my list soon.

[Lathe]

Just a quickie... (as is my known usual style... :))

I THOUGHT I remembered in the past that using TSMuxer the box 'Continually Insert SPS/PPS' was always checked, unless I am misremembering. But, I'm using a newer version of TSMuxer now (still from aways back) and I notice that be default the box is UNchecked.

I'm ALWAYS creating playable Blu-ray compatible discs to play in my OPPO player, so, should I leave the box unchecked now or should I use it? I am rather confused... (what else is new....?)

And, in answering, if someone could kindly please explain exactly what that does and why that is there and why it is (UN)necessary?

Thanks!

***EDIT

Oh, I also notice that the older version I use sometimes (2020) also defaults to 'Insert SEI and VUI data if absent'... Uh, what is that about, and why does the newer one default to 'Do Not Change' that? AND... Again, PLEASE, what are the differences, why do both versions default differently, and how should I set these to make the most compatible playable Blu-ray discs for hardware players?

thanks again!

Try default and if you have no problems with playback, great.
If you have an issue just remux with options checked. and see if that worked.
I used to go with defaults and didn't have any issues.

Thanks Bro! I'll check out those threads and see if I can understand what the difference is. Sounds like you just tried trial and error, that would suggest that there is no true definitive answer if one was indeed better than the other.

The older version of TSMuxer defaults to having both 'on' so to speak. The newer version (2020) has them 'off' by default, so that doesn't help one know...

I am making a quick-play blu-ray using mkv's with a framerate of 24. After the first try the audio was out of sync. This problem was solved after having written ''IMPORT_FORCE_FRAMERATE=24'' in the config file. But now the subtitles are out of sync. BD-Rebuilder converted them to 23,976 fps. Is there an easy fix for that?

[musiclover]

I have a computer with both NVIDIA and INTEL gpu's. Starting GPUENCC v0.01.17 and selecting ''INTEL Encoding GPU'' the constant quality settings read 27, 24, 18. After switching to ''NVIDIA Encoding GPU'' and switching back again the constant quality settings have changed to 34, 29, 23. I have to restart the program to get the original 27, 24, 18 again. The NVIDIA settings are kept constant after switching at 31, 28, 23.
I think it's a bug.

I think it's a bug.Weird. I'll look at it.

By the way, you can set those values to whatever you like. Just edit GPUENCC.INI from within the program and add one or more of the following examples (using values you choose):

NV_HEVC_Q_VALUES=34,29,23
NV_AVC_Q_VALUES=31,28,23
QSV_HEVC_Q_VALUES=34,29,23
QSV_AVC_Q_VALUES=27,24,18

also

HEVC_BR_VALUES=1000,2000,3000
AVC_BR_VALUES=1500,2500,4500

Just a warning... any illegal or other strange settings will revert to the defaults.

Is there a way to force FFMPEG Frameserving for an HEVC source file when encoding to x264? (My GPU doesn't decode HEVC) DirectShowSource is extremely slow, and lavf through x264 doesn't allow crf prediction.

Also, on occasions I'm trying to encode by bitrate, is there a way to force the program to calculate the average bitrate based on the whole playlist. I've been using DVD2BDExpress to convert DVDs to BDs retaining menus, then IVTC and reencoding to DVD-5. Seems to give a different bitrate for every file encoded; even though they're episodes roughly equivalent in size, sometimes DVD2BD splits them up awkwardly. Same change in bitrate for quickplay playlists.

Last - could you either add a warning when FLAC audio tracks are ignored on import, or have them automatically convert to ac3?

The real question here is why was the audio out of sync the first time you tried it? What kind of audio was it?

[jdobbs]

Last - could you either add a warning when FLAC audio tracks are ignored on import, or have them automatically convert to ac3? Hmm... I don't think I've ever seen a video file that used FLAC for its audio.

6 channel E-AC-3 JOC. BD_RB converted it to ac3.

The bitrate used is relative to the original bitrate (and size) for that file.

For the DVD conversion, the bitrate stayed within about 300kbps which isn't much in the grand scheme of things. But occasionally when creating quick play playlists from different sourced anime fan subs, file size can vary greatly - my last project has a 2gb HEVC 80 minute video and a 3 GB AVC 20 minute video - the second video was calculated at a much higher bitrate.

In the same vein, flac is a popular anime sub release format, since a lot of sources are Japanese with LPCM.

Trying to IVTC some Pokemon DVDs and am getting combing artifacts. Tried to add FieldDeinterlace as added AVS script, but anything added is placed before the plugins being loaded and the IVTC. Is there a reason for this?

Then tried to compare the results using just the default program deinterlace. Hidden options says that default is SmoothDeinterlace, and no field blending, but the workfiles script shows deinterlacing defaults to FieldDeinterlace with blend=true.

[musiclover]

I'll look. But I don't think so.

The real question here is why was the audio out of sync the first time you tried it? What kind of audio was it?

6 channel E-AC-3 JOC. BD_RB converted it to ac3.

I kept going back to my project of making episode blu-rays of 24 FPS files. I found out that the length of the imported files in the pseudo bluray is 4 or 5 seconds longer than the original files. That never happens with PAL or NTSC 23,976 of 29,97 episodes. With the use of ''IMPORT_FORCE_FRAMERATE=24'' the length of the episodes stays the same.

[Lowpro]

6 channel E-AC-3 JOC. BD_RB converted it to ac3.

I wasn't aware of the ''IMPORT_FORCE_FRAMERATE=24'' option. Nice! Guess it's time to download the latest build. That will come in handy. Will eliminate the extra step I'm taking now when encoding menu background videos that are in 24fps.

[MrVideo]

Trying to IVTC some Pokemon DVDs and am getting combing artifacts.
The question is are the DVDs true 29.97 fps with 3:2 pulldown? If there is 3:2 pulldown, is the cadence there or was the source material edited 29.97 such that the pulldown cadence is drastically lost. If the 3:2 pulldown cadence is drastically lost, IVTC isn't going to be able to recover the 23.976 frame rate cleanly.

There are other reasons that could be causing the issue. You need to supply us with the technical info regarding the DVD.

TSMUXER ERR: 0xFFFFFFFE and a too large AV frame

I tried to make a blu-ray small enough for a 25gb disc by blanking half the content. But there was a pop-up with this content:

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Audio Detection Mismatch

The audio type for PID 1102 determined by reading the PAD/PMT
program information (DTS HDMA) does not match the detected audio
(AAC). In many cases, this is caused by emulation of audio headers
(false detection) and the PAT/PMT type is the correct type.

Hit Yes to use the PAT/PMT type.
Hit No to use the detected type.
Hit Cancel to disable this stream.

YES NO CANCEL

The log mentions a TSMUXER ERR: 0xFFFFFFFE and a too large AV frame.

This happens when I hit Yes, but also when I hit No. So I think the real culprit is the AV frame.

[doobre]

If all fails burn the mkv directly to the disc. As long as your BD player can play a file on a disc.

[musiclover]

It's no mkv but a blu-ray

[doobre]

Could use makemkv” to create an mkv from the BD disc or folders

[Emulgator]

Maybe you hit a tsMuxeR demux limitation, or BD-R misinterprets a stream as being AAC.
(as blu-ray cannot have AAC audio)
You may want to demux the assets using DGDemux and work from there.

Thank you all for contributing. But after a re-rip all is well.
What a nuisance a faulty rip can be.

By the way.... Can the AV buffer in TSMUXER be increased?

[musiclover]

Just reporting a minor bug.

After BD Rebuilder reports an audio/PGS sizing issue and choosing to continue the log window stops reporting the progress of the remainder of the job. The log itself keeps filling up but it is not visible in the log window.

[iambryanknowles]

Not sure if it's the same for other sources, but when importing PAL MKVs with Pal to Film set, chapters aren't adjusted to fit the new timing. Not sure how else to do it, but MKVToolnix GUI allows you to set a stretch parameter in the options setting of chapter files - assuming it works in the CLI too - just in case you're not sure of a way to do it.

Also, it would be nice if when both Convert SD to 1080 and Convert 1920x1080 to 1440x1080 were selected, that the output was 1440x1080 - right now it only upconverts to 1920x1080 and ignores the other option.

What new timing? 25 fps film speed is legal for Blu-rays. If BDRB is trying to change to 23.976 (or 24) fps, IMHO, that would be wrong. By keeping it at 25 fps, there shouldn't be a timing issue. What did you end up with for the frame rate?

I'm curious as to what you would convert from 1920 to 1440. Normally, taking a 1920 video to 1440 would end up squeezing it. If the video within the 1920 was 4:3, then you would have to crop the black vertical bars to get to 1440.

[iambryanknowles]

PAL to FILM is in BDRB hidden options.It's just to slow down 25fps to 23.976 so that it plays back smoothly on a 120hz screen. I've never tried to play 25fps on my Blu-ray player before- I'm assuming it would have to add frames to pad the video to play back at a standard 29.97 which would disrupt smooth camera panning.

I was given 500 single layer DVD+Rs so I've been playing around a lot - squeezing to 1440x1080 with sar 4:3 reduces number of encoded pixels by 1/4 - on a DVD-5 that gives better overall quality than encoding the same thing at full 1920x1080.

I mentioned SD to 1080, but I more often use the 720 to 1080 option for 29.97fps videos since encoding to 720p requires doubling the frames encoding at 59.94fps to be compliant.

All of this depends on your equipment, both the player and the TV. Thinking back, not all U.S. sold players support 25 fps material.Stupid really, but that is the U.S. product. IMHO, 120 Hz video playback is a gimmick. I prefer 23.976/24/25 fps material get displayed at that rate. What is interesting in that my setup, with a projector, results in 1080p/25 material being converted to 1080p/60. But, if I upconvert to 2160p/25, then the system will play it at 25 fps. AFAICT, 1080p/25 is not natural for my projector. It is the projector that doesn't like 1080p/25. The player is 4k and so is the projector. You'd have to look at the specs for your devices.

Keep in mind you really don't gain much. Why? Because black compresses to a lot less bits. So, taking away the "few" bits doesn't really gain you anything. But yes, a lot of people do crop the black, which is why a lot of videos have letterbox bars removed as well. When it comes to 4K videos, I have to restore the black because the projector will vertically expand the video to fill 2160p. But 1080p material it leaves alone. Go figure.
I mentioned SD to 1080, but I more often use the 720 to 1080 option for 29.97fps videos since encoding to 720p requires doubling the frames encoding at 59.94fps to be compliant.
I'm not sure that applies to MKV files. Yes, Blu-ray authored 720p does have that framerate restriction. But, for simple MKV playback, it depends on what your hardware will allow. When it comes to Old Doctor Who episodes at 576/25, I have to redo them as 2160p/25 in order to play them at 25 fps.Keep in mind that my projector upscales everything (other than 3D) to 4K. So, by doing it myself, I can keep the frame rate.

I store all these videos on HDDs, not DVDs or BDs.

Fine print: YMMV

I'll have to look at that. I know I adjusted audio and subtitles when that hidden option is set -- but it's been a while, and I can't remember how/if I adjusted chapter points.

[jdobbs]

I haven't seen that error before -- so I don't think I can be much help. A problem with the source, maybe? Especially after already encoding the first 35152 frames.

You might try remuxing the source video with MKVMERGE.

[Emulgator]

A remote guess: If it happens at the same frame: as jdobbs said.
If it seems to be rather heat/load induced: possibly hardware fault.

[MrVideo]

The program runs fine on other files. As for failing in the same location, not the case. When I used an earlier version, before upgrading to 0.6.29.11, it failed earlier in the file. The file size is about 27 GB, while files that work are 4 GB, and smaller.

The last time I saw this error message, Cannot allocate memory, , it was a memory leak that, if I recall correctly, should have been fixed long ago.

Since it is with this particular file at its point, could you try downloading a later version of NVEnc, for example:7.74 32-Bit (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/releases/tag/7.74).

After that, create a new folder and change the location of the NVEnc in the CMD that you posted to the new location.
Meaning:
"C:\BD_Rebuilder-0.62.11_old\tools\nvenc\nvencc.exe"
To where you placed the newly downloaded example:
"D:\Nvenc\nvencc.exe"
And run the new command with that.
This would help to rule out it is the NVEnc version.

This is just a suggestion on how I would approach this issue/error.

UPDATE: Another thing I would try, but this is from QSVEnc experience, is to change the --avhw to --avsw. However, that will significantly slow down the decode/encode. That is why I suggested the above with a later NVEnc version.

[jdobbs]

I don't know what's happening, I just installed Windows 11 and installed what is needed for BDrebuilder and when I run it I get an executable error, "executable has been modified, can't run"Something has to have changed it. BD-RB does a check of the executable every time it loads (mainly to make sure it hasn't been hacked or infected). If it has been modified, you get that message.

Just download it again and copy (at least) the BDRB.exe to the folder in which it was installed.

Oh, and FWIW, I had been getting reply notifications for quite a while then suddenly they stopped...

***EDIT 2

Huh, this is weird... So, I'm trying Clever FFMpeg, converting to x264. So, both the original HEVC MKV file, and so far this rendered x264 MKV file, when I use VLC player (newest version) to open it, I get a super grainy, weird looking picture. But, if I use the KM Player it looks normal. I have NO bloody idea why or what the heck is in the original encode that is doing this. I'll post the two different snapshots below. And, here is the MediaInfo of the original file.

I mean, I kinda really dig the extreme contrast and deep colours of the super grainy picture, but I know it's not right. And the KM Player rendering maybe looks a tad washed out...???

Thanks!

This used to work, but now it doesn't.

It is doing "converting source to compliant formt..." and ends up taking the 23.976 video and converting it into 59.94. WTF! According to MediaInfo it is indeed 23.976:

Aborted because I hit cancel.

There is zero reason to convert the frame rate. The EPR file was taken from a previous job that worked just fine. Only the paths are changed and FORCE_NOENCODE=1 (it was 0, but didn't make a difference).

Even 0.61.29 gets it wrong.

UPDATE: It just dawned on me what the issue probably is. BDs don't handle HEVC video. I set UHD_CONVERT_ENABLE to 1, but it didn't make a difference. How do I get BDRB to author a UHD disc with 1080p HEVC content? BTW, I don't want to use the standalone program to upconvert to 2160p because the program doesn't use the chapter locations to create I-frames at those locations. AIUI, you want I-frames at chapter marks.

Thanks Bro! I knew we kept you up there in the Canadian Outback for a reason... :D

[Lathe]

Well, I went ahead and ran the Shout Factory Blu-ray through BDRB to shrink it to fit a BD, and burned it to Blu-ray and it played perfectly fine on my OPPO. As an experiment I also had tried the HEVC file (which I got in trouble for :)) and VLC played both the file and the resulting M2ts file from BDRB exactly the same with with exaggerated contrast and super grainy. So, it simply must just be something about VLC rending this movie that way for some mysterious reason. But, as long as I have the Blu-ray backed up and burned to disc and it plays fine on my OPPO then everything is okay... :D

[Lathe]

Okay, it's official...

I'm an idiot...

Yep, that's about it, pure and simple... I felt my penance should at least be coming back here and telling everyone, NOT that it would especially be a particularly big surprise... :rolleyes:

Okay, here goes... and, I'm telling you this is not going to be easy. *sigh... I checked and for some TOTALLY bizarre reason, the VLC visual effects filter had the 'Sharpen' setting checked and it was cranked way up... I know, unbelievable. No F'n wonder nobody knew what the hell I was talking about. I swear, it is shocking that I can even get through the day without serious damage to myself.

Okay, uh... next time hopefully BEFORE I go spouting off to everyone, I will, uh *cough... check the damn settings first. I'm going to go and hide under some rock now...

However, be that as it may... (and yes, I KNOW gonca, you are laughing your fool head off...) I still would like to know WHY BDRB did not accept and process that HEVC file when I tried to import it. When it started to reencode the video, that's when it threw an error. I put all the BDRB information in my very first post about all this above.

My head hurts...

[MrVideo]

@lathe Instead of using BDRB to recode H265 to H264, why not use the GPUENCC standalone program? No fuss, no muss. A couple of simple settings and the recoding is done in no time at all (if hardware encoding is used).

I'll look into that, thanks for the suggestion!

I would like just to use a simply CMD line, but there are certain settings I think in order to get the frame rate right or something that I'm not sure of. And, I don't know if my GPU will work with that, I'm not familiar with that whole side of the GPU used for encoding.

As long as you know it

During import TsMuxer is doing the demux/remux.
It can handle 10 bit video.
For encoding, avisynth is used, and the version you are on can not.
That is why import was good and processing failed.

Edit
I am not laughing my head off, I have come to expect it of you!

Ah, I see... Thanks for the explanation. I was curious why BDRB was rejecting it, that's good to know.

I'm glad your expectations have been met... :D

It can be run via a command line, but because of the numerous options, best to run it from the GUI. There's lots of previous discussion about the newer GPUENCC program. Dig back thru the thread.

[MrVideo]

UPDATE: It just dawned on me what the issue probably is. BDs don't handle HEVC video. I set UHD_CONVERT_ENABLE to 1, but it didn't make a difference. How do I get BDRB to author a UHD disc with 1080p HEVC content?

AIUI, you want I-frames at chapter marks.
I went back to the original HEVC videos and recoded them to AVC (via GPUENCC). Because I had to edit them at the commercial breaks to remove some of the black and to create I-frames at those locations, I didn't have to start from scratch as I was able to use the VideoReDo project files to do the editing again, but on AVC files this time. The BD was created just fine.

While I was able to get around the issue this time, I still want to be able to create a UHD with 1080p HEVC videos, in order to avoid a recoding. Each recoding introduces minor artifacts, etc. The less recoding, the better.

Lovely... I have NO bloody idea what it does (except doesn't it have something to do with using your GPU to do the encoding? I don't know if I have the right kind. Raedon I think) but, I'll check it out.

If that is the case, I wonder what the benefit is rather then just using the CPU as usual? I've been pretty happy with the speed of the encodes now that I have a faster CPU and more memory, so I don't get why there is some whole other way to do it...?

[gonca]

It has to be a Nvidia gpu, radeon would be amd.

[MrVideo]

It is many times faster than using software (CPU) encoding.

[Lathe]

It is many times faster than using software (CPU) encoding.

Kinda figured that too... So, does it use the exact same parameters and yield the exact same quality as you would get using x264 settings and the CPU? Would the only different factor then just be the time of encoding?

[varekai]

Thanks!

[varekai]

From Google... maybe accurate?

In terms of bitrate efficiency, which encoding is better, software or hardware encoding?
For the best bitrate efficiency (quality per bitrate), software encoding tends to be superior due to its flexibility and ability to use advanced encoding techniques.
14 okt. 2024

Is it better to encode with GPU or CPU?
You almost always want to do GPU encoding for recordings if you have access to it because it minimizes CPU overhead.
However, CPU encoding technically produces more efficient compression (better quality at a given bitrate or lower bitrate at given quality).
19 dec. 2023

Is software or GPU rendering better?
The main attraction to software rendering is capability.
While hardware in GPU rendering is generally limited to its present capabilities, software rendering is developed with fully customizable programming, can perform any algorithm, and can scale across many CPU cores across several servers.

[MrVideo]

So, does it use the exact same parameters and yield the exact same quality as you would get using x264 settings and the CPU?
Different parameters. As indicated by varekai's posting, overall, software gives you more control. But takes a lot longer. Depending on the job, I'll do some x264 encoding, but it takes a lot longer. I'm not even set up to do x265 software encoding.

[iambryanknowles]

When encoding x264 720p 60fps, BDRB defaults to keyint=30, and with extended_gop goes up to keyint=60. Should't it be 60 and 120?

While hardware in GPU rendering is generally limited to its present capabilities, software rendering is developed with fully customizable programming, can perform any algorithm, and can scale across many CPU cores across several servers.If I can give my humble opinion... yes, CPU encoding technically produces more efficient compression. That's mainly due to its ability to do multi-pass encoding. But even then the difference is minimal -- a few percentage points in output size savings at a comparable quality level.

I personally use the GPU to do all my encoding and use constant quality mode (CRF [x264/5], QVBR [Nvidia], or ICQ [Intel]). That way I know exactly what quality level I will get. The only down side to it is that the size isn't easy to predict as it depends on the quality you choose and the complexity of the source. But in BD-RB that is taken care of by the program with sampling and size prediction.

And, as mentioned earlier by MrVideo -- GPU encoding is many, many times faster than using the CPU.

[varekai]

If I can give my humble opinion...
That's interesting! Thanks for the info! Can I ask what NVIDIA GPU you use?
I have this Geforce RTX 4060 8GB and never tried encoding with it, next project I will try it with your settings.

I have this Geforce RTX 4060 8GB and never tried encoding with it, next project I will try it with your settings.I have a GeForce GTX 1660.

If you look at this link (https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new) you'll see that your card has more capability than mine (like AV1 encoding). I would guess it is faster too.

Nice card, but I can't get one. The driver is Win10/11.

Give the software a run and see what you think of the results.

@MrVideo
Thanks for the link and info, will test with GPU on the next project.
Will run one encode with GPU and one with software/CPU and compare them.

Be aware GPU encoding is awful for grainy content. You should use software encoding with that kind of content.

That's interesting... Although I don't have the right GPU to do it, it seems odd that whatever you are using to do the mechanics of encoding, I don't understand why whether the GPU does it or the CPU, aren't the math and computations exactly the same? Why are there different results...? Just curious...

[musiclover]

For a project I had to convert a music video clip from PAL to NTSC. I used GPUENCC with INTEL GPU. The resulting video was fine but the audio was out of sync and kept getting further out of sync. Then I changed GPUENCC to reencoding with NVIDIA GPU and the audio in the result was completely in sync but the video was somewhat stammering or stuttering. The length of the original file was 3:32 minutes. The INTEL GPU changed that to 3:41 minutes while the NVIDIA GPU kept the 3:32 intact.

No, software encoding is slower but can use more advanced/complex ways to save bits.

Interesting. I personally haven't had any issues with that any kind of content using GPU.

Try something like Ghostbusters (the original one), even at BD50 bitrate the output created by NVEnc looks denoised and has this pulsating effect, the one encoded with x265 is superior in every way.

Ah, good to know, thanks! Now I don't feel like I'm missing out so much... :) For me, re-encoding to a BD25 (movie only) even with very strong but compatible settings might take the better part of two hours. A film that is smaller and doesn't need quite so high settings may take about 45 minutes, so that is fine with me.

[10.50.21]Job Completed [1 of 1]Unfortunately the resizing and syncing, etc, is done by NVENCC and QSVENCC (I think they use the FFMPEG libraries). You might want to try downloading a newer version of those and see if you have better luck.

[musiclover]

Unfortunately the resizing and syncing, etc, is done by NVENCC and QSVENCC (I think they use the FFMPEG libraries). You might want to try downloading a newer version of those and see if you have better luck.

The newer versions didn't do it for me. So I used the video from the INTEL GPU and combined that with the audio that I stretched with 104,27%. It gave a good result. It's a pity that I couldn't get GPUENCC to do it. But I understand that is up to QSVENCC. And the choppy video was the fault of NVENCC.

UPDATE

I found an other way to get it done. Using BD_RB with the hidden option IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM=1. It gave an excellent result. And BD_RB did the stretching for me.

You get this error when the source stream was encoded at a framerate that is not allowed in Blu-ray. Acceptable framerates are: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94 -- even then some are only compliant with certain frame sizes.

So how can I fix it? I am just shy of being able to just burn it -- 24,963MiB vs disc size of 23,866MiB. Can that much be done with Overburn?

There is more than enough space on the drive (over 100gb). It gets to ~93% Overall Progress. This was using FRIMSOURCE for Frame Serving (I've tried all the others except DGDecNV, as I do not have that exe). I have also tried AUTOMATIC QUALITY -

The program hangs on trying to convert Opus audio.

[MrVideo]

I want BDRB to read in a disc and not re-encode any of the videos it will end up keeping. The following is in the config:
FORCE_NOENCODE=1
FORCE-ENCODE=0
Yet, BDRB goes ahead and encodes anyway. Is there something else that needs to be set?

Things that will override FORCE_NOENCODE:

- Having filters set -- it can't process filters without reencoding.
- Setting a forced CRF value with FIXED_CRF=nn
- Running in ARCHIVE mode
- Having FORCE_ENCODE=1 set
- Output of non-UHD source to UHD format
- The source was an HEVC archive created by BD-RB

And, of course, the source video must be legal.

[MrVideo]

Thanks. No idea how the config file had the wrong character. It has been that way for ages. I'll be testing it later.

I do not care that the encoding failed, as I don't want it to encode.

I wondered if "USE_FILTERS=1" might have caused it to re-encode. Nope, setting it to zero only caused the re-encode not to fail.

The HEVC restriction only applies when the source was an HEVC archive or if you are attempting to backup a non-UHD source to UHD format (sorry about throwing more confusion into an already confusing topic).

I'll have to rework my plans. Thanks guys.Note my last post (just above yours).

[MrVideo]

Note my last post (just above yours).
Re-reading it: the source for the project is a UHD BDRB created folder with HEVC MKV videos that have DD+ ATMOS audio. Yes, the initial run resulted in the DD being recoded. I then ran the newer TSMuxer to rebuild the M2TS files with the original audio. That folder was then run thru BDRB to repackage the UHD formatted layout to make sure that the disc I would then create would play. The initially created folder fits within a 25GB disc. But, BDRB wan't to recode it, no matter what. The log even says reports "UHD-BD source detected."

After doing the above posting I started the reworking of the project by using the original MKV files, which I originally recoded to fit within 25GB. I did some work to update/add chapter marks. After doing the work I mentioned above, I then hauled that UHD-BD layout into BDRB to let it do the recoding so that the project fits within a 25GB disc. But, I ran into a problem. BDRB errored out. Turns out I not only needed to replace the tsmuxer.exe file in tools, but the tsmuxer4k.exe as well. I have two version of BDRB installed, one original and the other new. Can't remux DD+ audio with the older tsmuxer. Of course, with the newer tsmuxer the demuxing creates audio and subtitle files with file name that BDRB was not expecting. Therefore, BDRB fails during the recoding. I then rename the files back to what is expected and resume the job. I have to babysit the job for each of the videos within the project. It would be nice (begging) if BDRB would use the newer tsmuxer so that it would handle DD+ audio. Yes, I know, coreless DD+ is not compliant. But, if tsmuxer will created UHD disc folders with coreless DD+, why not BDRB?

Way back when, BDRB initially had issues figuring out what bitrate to use to make everything fit because the TrueHD-MA audio streams weren't seen and not included in the overall size, resulting in my manually setting disc size. As the job is in progress as I write this, I don't know if BDRB will create a UHD-BD folder that will fit the 25GB disc. [...] The job is now finished and it fits! Burning disc now and will test later.

Frankly, I don't even know what archive mode is, as I've never set anything to do that.

If I read your posting correctly, what I am doing doesn't fit your requirement for recoding, i.e., if the sourced UHD-BD folder will already fit a disc.

[MrVideo]

Well, that was a bust. Letting BDRB do everything, i.e., taking the initial oversized UHD-BD and recode everything to fit 25GB failed to play. The menu plays just fine, but when I select an episode from the menu, the player goes back to the player's main menu. But, the initial UHD-BD disc that I created with the manually recoded videos and remuxed audio, plays just fine. I'm totally confused now.

[MrVideo]

There is a workaround to this issue, although having BDRB do the whole thing from beginning to end would save a boat-load of work.

There is work outside of BDRB that needs to be done for this particular job and that is creating chapter marks and turning on the force flag for those foreign language translation subtitles.

The first thing that needs to be done is to recode the videos so that they will fit on a BD25. That, unfortunately, is trial and error.

Second is to import the videos that will be placed on a disc into BDRB. No need to use a modified BDRB installation that has the newer tsmuxer. BDRB will recode the DD+ audio streams, no matter what.

Third, the original DD+ audio streams need to be remuxed into the newly created M2TS files, replacing the DD with DD+. In this case, the latest overnight build of tsmuxer must be used.

The UHD-BD layout can then be burned to disc. Even though the audio streams are replaced, the configuration of the disc is not affected by the replaced audio and will play just fine. Your UHD hardware player must be able to play coreless DD+ audio (mine does).

Lastly, to make things complete, the UHD beta version of BDEdit should be used to change the audio type of each of the playlists from DD to DD+. The disc will play fine without doing this change. At least it does for me.

[MrVideo]

When I browse for a BD layout for doing a backup, it contains a bunch of short 1 second files. Various playlists are using them to add 1 sec of black to the end, which also creates a chapter point to jump to in order to skip to the end. Why they didn't add 1 sec of black to the main file and just chapter mark it is beyond me.

How do I tell BDRB to skip those files, but keep them in the final result? I have the following set:
IMPORT_THRESHOLD=2
QUICK_PLAY_THRESHOLD=2
But, if I understand it correctly, matching that should not recode those M2TS files and instead just copy them in the backup.

There are files missing from the list that are longer than 2 minutes. One of them is a special feature file of still images, yet BDRB isn't going to recode it.

BDRB fails early on in the backup with a 720p/59.94 video in which the encoder did 30 frames, but expected 60.

Right before this one, I did a UHD backup and it only contains 2160p and 1080p videos. It did skip a bunch of files, but what was weird is that it didn't skip files that were in the 18 KB range. Those got recoded to the 24 KB range. Five videos that were larger than that were skipped. Weird.

I guess I do not know what the rules are for skipping files for recoding.

Thanks for any pointers.

@jdobbs No comment on how BDRB determines on what it does, or doesn't, recode during a backup?

@jdobbs No comment on how BDRB determines on what it does, or doesn't, recode during a backup?With default settings, BD-RB checks size and length if all playlists, and skips reencoding if they are small. You can set the size used for that check with these two parameters (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT):

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=n (n=100 is the default)
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=n (n=15 is the default)

If you want to encode everything, you should set each option to 0

By default BD-RB doesn't reencode menus unless it is required for some reason. So if you want menus to be reencoded, you can do so by adding this hidden opt:

REENCODE_MENUS=1

[MrVideo]

With default settings, BD-RB checks size and length if all playlists, and skips reencoding if they are small. You can set the size used for that check with these two parameters (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT):

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=n (n=100 is the default)
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=n (n=15 is the default)

According to HIDDENOPTS.TXT, MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS only comes into play with movie only mode, so that one can be ignored for disc backups.

I'll have to try something and report back.

REPORTING BACK: I set MIN_M2TS_SIZE=10 and it left a bunch of files that are < 1 MB on the list to be processed. Come to think of it, the default of 100 left those same < 1 MB files on the list. No clue as to what it takes to remove files < 10 MB.

[MrVideo]

Setting MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0 doesn't encode them?
Nope. A 1,146 KB file is not in the list, yet a, 18 KB file before it and a 66 KB file after it are on the list. Just for example.

[gonca]

Are the two files on the list part of a playlist with more files?

[musiclover]

And is there a menu item on that playlist?
Then REENCODE_MENUS=1 may help.

[MrVideo]

Are the two files on the list part of a playlist with more files?
Yes. IMHO that should not make a difference. The two examples are 1 sec black clips added to the end of various videos. Pretty stupid, since they could have just encoded the 1 sec of black as part of all the files and just added a chapter mark at that location.

The 1 sec black doesn't need to be recoded, only the longer videos that use it. The non-recoded file will work in the playlist. The min-size setting should be honored, no matter what.

If there is a way to make it do that, please let me know.

[gonca]

In BD_RB if 1 file in a mpls has to be encoded then all the files will be encoded, if I remember correctly.

This keeps common specs (level etc) for all the files in the mpls.
Prevents possible playback issues, I guess.

In regards to the 1 sec black clips, I genuinely can't believe how many movies have them. I'd like to find a way of removing them as I have many movies like this and it's always annoying when I go to backup a disc and the playlist has an extra m2ts for no reason whatsoever.

[MrVideo]

Well, that can cause issues.
This keeps common specs (level etc) for all the files in the mpls.

Doing recoding during backups doesn't do any level changes, etc. That would certainly screw up any HDR/DV videos. Besides, these are short black videos.

I'd be happy to have a hidden option that overrides this behavior.

[MrVideo]

I'd like to find a way of removing them as I have many movies like this and it's always annoying when I go to backup a disc and the playlist has an extra m2ts for no reason whatsoever.
Unfortunately, they do have a reason. If you look at the end of the video that precedes the 1 sec black, you will find that it ends without any black. That end piece is what allows you to skip to the end, as there is a chapter mark at that point. If that were removed, you would not be able to skip to the end and then do the next operation, be it going to the next episode/video or the menu. You'd have to press the menu key. They play a purpose, but they are a backup annoyance.

Thank you for responding. I had no idea the 1 sec m2ts was needed. So the last chapter will be at the end of the 1 sec m2ts and not the main m2ts? I like to make remux, would it be best to keep the 1sec m2ts at the end or would it be beneficial to move it?

The last chapter is actually at the end of the video preceding it/start of the 1 sec black. Best to leave it in place. If you are remuxing to a MKV file (for example), the 1 sec black will be added to the end, making it one continuous file.

Doing a backup of a UHD in which the main video is UHD and DV. Weird is that the log said the bitrate was 500kb.

The encoder didn't fail right at the start. It got a way in before failing.

Is there a last command somewhere that I can run to get the encoder's error?

ADDED INFO: I decided to recode the M2TS file and ended up with this error:
avcuvid: error occured while reading file: 591 frames, Resource temporarily unavailable
There is nothing wrong with the m2ts file as I was able to copy it to another HDD,

[MrVideo]

No additional info regarding my UHD backup issue?

[MrVideo]

No idea either. I've never seen that error. Not sure how it is a system error, since this has never happened before. I'm suspecting with the file.

[jdobbs]

Is there a last command somewhere that I can run to get the encoder's error?Yes. The last command is always recorded in LASTCMD.TXT located in the BD-RB folder. You can cut-and-paste it into a CMD window to test it. You normally should to do it immediately after getting the error -- assuring that all involved files etc. are still accessible.

[MrVideo]

I know I've seen that file in the past, but for this UHD backup job, no such file.

[doobre]

Hi there
this is bound to be a simple setting that I have overlooked, I haven't been doing any copying for a long while, so probably "finger trouble".

Anyway, below are the mediainfo details for the source and the BD-RB output, along with the current INI file and the LASTCMD text log.

I am trying to make a backup of a BD with variable rate FPS (59.940 to 29.970), and the output from BD-RB is 59.940fps [while the audio seems to be 29.970], therefore the video ends up playing double speed while the audio sounds fine, played in VLC and powerDVD.!!!? the file size is half of what I expect, also!

Just in case I ran it through with a restored original INI file, and then using the alternative 264 encoder, no diff.

Help anyone!?
cheers CD

[Moviewatcher666]

Greetings all,

First, I want to commend JDobbs on his commitment to this great program. Well done!

I am playing with a full backup of the new Godzilla Criterion 4K release.

The backup is in ISO format and when I play it in PowerDVD v20, it plays properly with the proper English subtitles. When I play the original disc in my 4K player, it plays fine (of course).

When I process the ISO to fit onto a BD50 in BDRebuilder, everything works except the English subtitles (even when selected in the main menu of the disc).

When I look at the M2TS file, there appears to be the subtitle

Rather frustrating when watching and listening with the Japanese sound track and no English subtitles.

I am attaching my log files to show the work done on the disc.

What am I missing? Or is there a bug that does not set the proper flag when rebuilding the file so that the subtitles turn on?

I appreciate any feedback, assistance or help offered.

Thanks,

Moviewatcher666

I will try to rip the BD with handbrake instaed of makemkv.

Handbrake v1.3.1 came to the rescue (again) ripped the BD to mkv with CBR of 59.940, avg 30Mbs final size 23Gb.

For a 1440x800 file with a 4:3 PAR, BD Rebuilder Generates
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.62.12
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("D:\BDREBUILDER\WORKFILES\VID_00000.DGI", fieldop=0).AddBorders(0,4,0,6).LanczosResize(1920,1080)
BilinearResize(1440,1080)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(24000,1001)

I'm working with lossless files and was encoding with Ultrafast from Virtualdub, and hoped that I might save a few GB without the borders - Since a 90GB file requires 270GB during the import process and I have minimal space.

Edit: Apparently the borders help ��*♂️ 1GB smaller with them. Still, I've seen that niche resolution (as well as heights of 804 and 816) in video products such as fanedits before.

[Emulgator]

Since 800 height is not BD-compliant, but 1080 is, BD-RB will have to pad such source up to 1080 to do justice to its name.
For the cases of reencoding to unconstrained formats I would suggest one of the unconstrained encoder GUIs out there.
clever_ffmpeg_gui, MeGUI64, MeGUI.x64, FFmpeg_Batch_AV_Converter_Portable_x.y.z_x64, Hybrid, StaxRip...

[SquallMX]

I found a bug in the latest release 0.62.12, when doing a Full UHD backup, with extras encoded as H264, BD-Rebuilder set subtitle values incorrectly in the mpls files, resulting in missing subtitles when playing on standalone players, BD-Rebuilder is using "12A0, 12A1..." values (reserved for UHD resolution) instead of "1200, 1201..." (for FHD content).

[MrVideo]

What am I missing? Or is there a bug that does not set the proper flag when rebuilding the file so that the subtitles turn on?
Just press the subtitle button on your player. While that may not be ideal, it should do the trick.

[MrVideo]

The following bugs are still there:

1) Building the 2nd menu can result in it failing when doing the 2nd menu. The first menu files are there, but no hint of the 2nd even being attempted. It took three tries on a current project before it would build the 2nd menu.

2) and because of the above, it means building the disc again. With BDRB ignoring the titles.inf file, it means redoing all of the manual changes to the titles.

Thanks for the suggestion but already tried that.

The subtitle was missing on the blu-ray player.

The problem resides in the reauthoring of the full disc.

Your original posting made it read as though the subtitle stream was there but just wasn't turning on. Instead, you are now saying that the subtitle stream was actually missing from the result.

When the original file is imported, BDRB shows which tracks it will keep and which tracks will not be copied. Take a look at that display and report back.

When I play the resulting reauthored disc in the blu-ray player, the subtitle track is not there to select. Therefore, there is no subtitle track to play.

When I look at the M2TS in Media Info on that same disc, the subtitle track shows it is there.

Therefore, in my estimation, a flag that is to make the subtitles available to the blu-ray player is somehow missing.

The logs I uploaded should show exactly what I am discussing. You can see the subtitle track is selected to process with the project. It just is not turned on in the final disc.

Thanks.

[MrVideo]

Aah, gotchya. I'm sorry to say that this is indeed weird. I've not run across this issue. But, I have to say that a majority of the time I do not try to turn on subtitles. I only check them on titles that I create from scratch (home brew) that have subtitles.

Just exactly how are you trying to turn on the subtitles?

Just exactly how are you trying to turn on the subtitles?

Since it is Godzilla 1954, when playing the original disc, the English subtitles are on automatically (I guess for the North American release). You can also turn the subtitles on and off in the main menu.

On the BD Rebuilder processed disc, the subtitles are not on automatically and you cannot control them in the main menu (on or off).

I have all my working files generated by BD Rebuilder. Has anybody got any ideas how to reassemble and get the subtitles to work(a possible workaround)? I am sure it is just a misplaced or incorrect flag that is preventing subtitles to work properly.

Maybe a bug in the program? I'm not sure.

Never had a problem with other discs. Just weird.

Thanks.

[MrVideo]

On the BD Rebuilder processed disc, the subtitles are not on automatically and you cannot control them in the main menu (on or off).
Based on this statement, you have not tried to turn on the subtitles by pressing the subtitle button on the remote, after starting the movie, as previously suggested?

Please provide the UPC as I might be able to look at it.

hello!
What is the process of converting bd to uhd, how does the preset "quality" change to other better quality and less speed?

I get a 30gb bd, 17gb uhd, I have 24000 mb custom target installed


One problem, when I want to convert (Converting to UHD-BD (HEVC) output format), it always uses h264 to encode, having NVENC activated in full backup, How can I enable HEVC in that mode?

other problem in Archive backup/aac , No matter what size you set for custom target, it is always the same output MB size.

Pushed all the buttons on the remote and none of them activated or showed the subtitles.

Thanks for the suggestion.

[MrVideo]

Pushed all the buttons on the remote and none of them activated or showed the subtitles.
Normally there is a separate button for subtitles.

UPC?

[Moviewatcher666]

Normally there is a separate button for subtitles.

UPC?

Went right into main sub menu and selected subtitles on my LG UP970 since there is no dedicated subtitles button.

Subtitles there but do not display.

Although I appreciate the suggestions, it is clearly not a blu-ray player issue. When I checked the resulting ISO file in PowerDVD, I get the same results. No subtitles displaying.

Been playing with electronics like this for 45 years. Been using BD Rebuilder since it started in 2008.

I am pretty convinced there is a bug specifically on this disc with the re-encodng.

Have you evaluated the logs that I have attached to my original post? Do they reveal anything?

Is there a workaround suggestion to manually activate the subtitles? Is there a way to hardcode the subtitles in the working files before RB Rebuilder reassembles?

Thanks.

Greetings all,

First, I want to commend JDobbs on his commitment to this great program. Well done!

I am playing with a full backup of the new Godzilla Criterion 4K release.

The backup is in ISO format and when I play it in PowerDVD v20, it plays properly with the proper English subtitles. When I play the original disc in my 4K player, it plays fine (of course).

When I process the ISO to fit onto a BD50 in BDRebuilder, everything works except the English subtitles (even when selected in the main menu of the disc).

When I look at the M2TS file, there appears to be the subtitle

Rather frustrating when watching and listening with the Japanese sound track and no English subtitles.

I am attaching my log files to show the work done on the disc.

What am I missing? Or is there a bug that does not set the proper flag when rebuilding the file so that the subtitles turn on?

I appreciate any feedback, assistance or help offered.

Thanks,

Moviewatcher666

Well, holy crap! I fixed my subtitle problem with Godzilla 1954 4K Criterion Collection disc.

I got a clue from this post:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2014947#post2014947

So, I decided to compare the MPLS playlist file from the original disc to the MPLS playlist created by BDR.

Under this section:
"number_of_PiP_PG_textST_stream_entries_plus": 0,
there was this entry from the original disc:

"type": 1,
"pid": 4608,
"stream_coding_type": "PGS",
"language_code": "eng",
"reserved01": 0

Under the same section in the BDR created playlist, the entry was this:

"type": 1,
"pid": 4768,
"stream_coding_type": "PGS",
"language_code": "eng",
"reserved01": 0

So I inserted the MPLS from the original disc into the disc structure created by BDR and created a new ISO file.

Put it into PowerDVD to play and now the subtitles work exactly like the original disc.

@jdobbs - I don't know if this is a bug but if you need to look at it further, just let me know and I can answer any questions you might have.

Hopefully, this can help somebody else down the line.

Thanks all!

[MrVideo]

Don't have UPC.

How can you not have the UPC if you have the original disc(s) and packaging.

[MrVideo]

So I inserted the MPLS from the original disc into the disc structure created by BDR and created a new ISO file.

I'm surprised that worked. I've sometimes swapped something out and the disc refused to play. You got lucky.

Looking at the info about this release, it has an English soundtrack, so why the worry about subtitles?

[Moviewatcher666]

How can you not have the UPC if you have the original disc(s) and packaging.

When you asked for UPC, we were discussing the blu-ray player. I thought you wanted it for the blu-ray player.

UPC for Godzilla is 715515305112.

[Moviewatcher666]

I'm surprised that worked. I've sometimes swapped something out and the disc refused to play. You got lucky.

Looking at the info about this release, it has an English soundtrack, so why the worry about subtitles?

I wasn't hopeful but thought I would try it. Comparing the MPLS files, that was the only difference. Virtually identical.

Like I said, there was a flag that was not set properly and that was it.

English is the commentary track. This movie is not dubbed. Language is Japanese with English subtitles only.

[varekai]

Looking at the info about this release, it has an English soundtrack, so why the worry about subtitles?
Although the soundtrack is in English, but, if English is not your mother tongue and although you both understand, speak and write fairly well English, English subtitles are an excellent support, just sayin'...

I wasn't hopeful but thought I would try it. Comparing the MPLS files, that was the only difference. Virtually identical.

Like I said, there was a flag that was not set properly and that was it.

English is the commentary track. This movie is not dubbed. Language is Japanese with English subtitles only.

Your problem is similar to my problem, BD-Rebuilder is not using proper values for subtitles in the output disc.

According to your logs your subtitle track is in "1200" but UHD Blu-ray specs for HDR video requires subtitle track in "12A0". Because of this your player does not "see" your subtitle track.

Under this section:
"number_of_PiP_PG_textST_stream_entries_plus": 0,
there was this entry from the original disc:

"type": 1,
"pid": 4608,
"stream_coding_type": "PGS",
"language_code": "eng",
"reserved01": 0

Under the same section in the BDR created playlist, the entry was this:

"type": 1,
"pid": 4768,
"stream_coding_type": "PGS",
"language_code": "eng",
"reserved01": 0
The "ORIGINAL DISC" was using 0x1200 (4608)...

Since the original was 4K -- it would lead one to believe that the original was improperly authored?

Hi, very weird indeed if that is the case, but we can agree that a subtitle placed at 1200 for HDR video would no be show in a proper UHD player.

I'm currently having the inverse situation, original BR is using 1200 for subtitles in a SDR H265 playlist but BD-Rebuilder is using 12X0, resulting in missing subtitles when playing on my hardware player. Using BDEdit to manually correct the values works fine.

I may be wrong, though. I know it works, as I have a switch that allows it, but for some reason I thought it had to be H264.

I am playing with a full backup of the new Godzilla Criterion 4K release.
I downloaded a copy of the release in order to do a test. Well, that was a bust, because the main movie refused to recode. I get a PredictAndEncode error.

Oh well.

Oh well.What error was it? PredictAndEncode just tells me what routine it was in. The numbers tell me the error number and where it happened.

I'll have to redownload the movie and get back to you.

OK, rework of the Godzilla title was interesting. This time around, the title did not fail encoding. What did catch my eye was that the config file was set for 45+ GB as the target. But, in the end, it was only 37 GB. That was a big miss. As originally reported, the subtitles were not seen. The subtitle playback was set to on at movie start. So, the bug is confirmed.

And yes, the original failure code is also there. I wasn't expecting it. Usually when I see those error dialogs show up, they don't normally appear in the log. At least this time it was, since it did fail this time around.

At least this time it was, since it did fail this time around.The sizing isn't an issue. That's just as large as it could make it using CQM -- you'll note that the CQM value used was 1 -- that's the highest quality possible -- meaning it is pretty much identical to the original. To me that just means that a ridiculously high bitrate was used on the original.

I'll have to look at the subtitle problem... probably an issue with the PID.

The error you got (00070) was "permission denied". I'm guessing that for some reason the operating system thought a file BD-RB was trying to access was open or in use.

Strange.

I'll have to redownload the movie and get back to you.

Where are you downloading from. Are you sure the download isn't corrupt?

[MrVideo]

Are you sure the download isn't corrupt?
Yes. Corrupt downloads will fail.

Hi,

Wondered if someone could help - attempting to backup Nosferatu (2024) and it's failing. It actually failed quite a few times during the process with error code "PredictAndEncode() 00075 2809" - I've tried restarting from scratch, but had the same outcome.

I then tried resuming from the previous job each time it failed, which felt like it was working; it eventually got up to the 100% but failed to rebuild with error code "TSMUXER ERR: 0xFFFFFFFE - Failed in attempt to multiplex: MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta"

It's one of those movies/discs that has multiple parts, rather than just one m2ts file - not sure if this is the issue, but I've not had this problem before.

Log is below - any help would be greatly appreciated;

That error code (75) means "Path/File access error". You may want to check the path to your working or source folder(s) and see if it has some unusual characters, or if it is exceptionally long.

[thebuff]

Thanks for your reply - I'll take a look, but I do the same thing every time and just create a new folder, automatically called New Folder by Windows and then rip using DVDFab, so the structure within is always the same.

But I'll give it another go from scratch.

Many thanks

Exceptionally long would be more than 259".
Or characters. Whatever seems more important under given circumstances. ;-}}

How does BDRB determine how many frames are in a file? I just had BDRB bail because it only got 167640 frames of 179976 frames. But, there are only 167640 frames in the file. I pulled the file into VRD and it shows 167640 frames. I went to the end of the file and it is not truncated.

So, I thought I would edit the AVS file for the video. Well that didn't work. BDRB rebuilt the file.

Bug?

Bug?BD-RB gets the frame count from data in the MPLS file (length and framerate). Are you getting an error? If so, what error? It's been a while since I looked at that code, but, if I remember correctly, I don't think it should fail even if the frame count was wrong.

Yep, as indicated in the posting, the frame count is less than what BDRB is told that it should be. When BDRB hits the real frame count, it fails indicating that the frame count was less than expected.

[MrVideo]

I just used BDEdit to look at the playlist and took the length of 1:56:31.985 (6991.95 sec) and came up with 167638.9932 frames. Just one frame shy. I have no idea where BDRB came up with 179976 frames.

The hidden option was put there as a workaround in case something (like your issue) popped up.

Sorry to read that. My website, etc., is on my personal Linux server, about 6 ft from where I am sitting. No paying a 3rd party to host it. Much cheaper.

[jdobbs]

Sorry to read that. My website, etc., is on my personal Linux server, about 6 ft from where I am sitting. No paying a 3rd party to host it. Much cheaper.Yeah. I had mine running on my server here too. It's the fixed IP VPN costs that I was referring to. The VPN stopped working (quit forwarding ports) for the umpteenth time last week and I decided to call it quits before I had to renew it.

[MrVideo]

I have a static IP business account, that I recently updated to 1Gbps down/50 Mbps up. It is a cable connection. They have work to do before the 50 Mbps up can be increased. It is just taking them a long time. No VPN involved. True that it isn't cheap, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. To go from 100 Mbps down to 10x faster was not 10x the price. It wasn't even double.

Another user at a different site was trying to use BDRB to back up a UHD disc to BD disc (2160p to 1080p). Is that possible?

[Lathe]

Another user at a different site was trying to use BDRB to back up a UHD disc to BD disc (2160p to 1080p). Is that possible?

I would love to know that too... No disrespect to our esteemed host (despite his inability to hear Lossless audio) but what I've been using to convert UHD with HDR to 1080 SDR is Clever FFMpeg by ProWo, I believe it is here on this site. I kept trying to figure out how to use BDRB, but never could and then stumbled on that fellow's excellent program. I always still use BDRB though for shrinking Blu-rays to fit a BD25 and also to import Xtras to create a Quick Play menu.

But, it is SO quick and easy to plug in the video file and boom Clever FFMpeg which is VERY fast, also converts HEVC files to AVC files, something I KNOW BDRB can do, but I could never quite figure out how to do it properly. The AV always seemed out of sync for some reason. So, that other program is great for doing those 2 kinds of conversions.

[MrVideo]

I suspect this will make a big difference as well... the original UHD has Dolby Vision.

[jdobbs]

BD-RB doesn't currently have the direct capability to output a UHD BD disc as a standard BD. You can output the source video(s) to an MKV, etc. with alternate output (resizing to 1080p), and then import it and create a new disc/menus etc. -- but that's about it. It does have the ability, however, to go the other way (BD -> UHD-BD).

[Lathe]

I suspect this will make a big difference as well... the original UHD has Dolby Vision.

In using the program I recommended, you can choose to keep the HDR if you wish. Since our dear host's program doesn't happen to do that, I strongly suggest you check out that program. I have done many conversions with excellent results.

[MrVideo]

Is it a known issue that VLC will not play BDRB authored discs? The only thing that shows up is the background.

[jdobbs]

Is it a known issue that VLC will not play BDRB authored discs? The only thing that shows up is the background.I'm not aware of it. But, since the BD-RB discs are compliant with the standard, I would have to believe the issue is in the player. You might try creating a simple movie-only disc using just TSMUXER to see if it plays with no menu.

I can't think of anything that might make it not show the completed BD-RB menu. They're really not very complicated.

[RetsimLegin]

A long time ago (in my early use of BDRB) I tried using the onboard menuing and found that VLC does not "like" them. No idea why and I haven't looked again recently; as I do want to be able to test my compilations prior to committing to disc, I use a different authoring/menuing tool to generate disc .iso files.

[jdobbs]

I'm pretty confident the problem is with VLC -- not BD-RB. No other players I know of have any issues...

[MrVideo]

I had VLC load a commercial release and it had no issue loading the menu. I'll have to see if I can get their attention such that I can send then a simple/small sample.

[MrVideo]

As a side note, I thought I had a BDRB issue when my Sony UHD player basically refused to load the menu of a new UHD disc that I authored. The fact that it eventually did load the menu led me to believe otherwise. I rewrote the disc at a speed of 4X, instead of 10X and the disc played flawlessly. Even though the media can be burned at 10X, the player didn't like it. :devil:

Have you ever burned a formatted disc with imgburn? This allows you to create a larger area for faulty parts. Layer breaks often cause errors in 4K media. With this method, I no longer have any errors. The only drawback: If you set it to burn 4x, the program only burns 1.7x.

ImgBurn is all that I use. I don't normally burn BD50 discs. I do 1-to-1 copies of 3D releases. Everything else is BD25.

As mentioned, in this case, burned media at 10x is not liked by my UHD player.

Due to the speed of the USB interface, the external BD burner will only go as fast as 4x. I set the internal BD burner for a max of 6x. The burner will achieve that speed the closer it gets to the outside of the media.

I don't know where you get the 1.7x from, but the software reports that it burns at the requested speed.

IMGBurn was truly great Bro... at the time. But, it hasn't been updated in over a decade. Trust me... Dump it and try Burnaware, it is free, I've done hundreds of Blu-rays and data discs without a single hitch, AND at full speed. However, TBH, since I do not use 4k I really don't know if it supports it now that I think of it.

[MrVideo]

I've been using BurnAware for quite some time, I kept having trouble with the never updated ImgBurn...
Never heard of that program until now. I've downloaded and installed. We'll see how it goes.

[MrVideo]

Is the following a legal directive:
MENU_FONT_BOOK=1
There is a font I want to use has "book." Book is not part of the family name when using it in PhotoShop/Illustrator.

[MrVideo]

Dump it and try Burnaware
I'm doing a test burn of a BDRB authored disc. Not 4K though. I have noticed that it does not indicate the current burn speed. Only at the end.

IMGBURN will burn at whatever the media and drive supports. Nothing more, nothing less.

Then, of course, that's not so interesting for you. If you were making copies on BD 50, it would be a little different.

[kufo]

I've been using BurnAware for quite some time, I kept having trouble with the never updated ImgBurn...


Of course, if you're not creating 4K media on BD 50, that's a different story. The formatting issue is actually intended for layer break and the error rate in that area.
So, that's not relevant to you either.
Even if Imgburn hasn't received an update in a few years, that's not a problem. There are no new media.

[kufo]

IMGBURN will burn at whatever the media and drive supports. Nothing more, nothing less.

You don't need anything more.

[MrVideo]

However, TBH, since I do not use 4k I really don't know if it supports it now that I think of it.
Not an issue. The burning software knows nothing about the contents of the BDMV directory. It just copies the files that are there.

[MrVideo]

Is the following a legal directive:
MENU_FONT_BOOK=1
There is a font I want to use has "book." Book is not part of the family name when using it in PhotoShop/Illustrator.
Not a legal directive. It seems that BDRB is only programmed to handle the main font family name and sub-names of regular (default), bold and italic. No idea if oblique (italic) is understood.

is it possible to change the default player in the tools folder from mpc to MPC-BE? I am having some issues with sound & the video looks sub par when using the preview function. Thanks.

[jdobbs]

is it possible to change the default player in the tools folder from mpc to MPC-BE? I am having some issues with sound & the video looks sub par when using the preview function. Thanks.You should be able to put the path to MPC-BE in the BDREBUILDER.INI file's "[Paths]" area and it will likely work. Like this, for example:

[Options]
Your settings as they are now
...

[Paths]
MPC=C:\THE_PATH_TO\ProgramName.exe

Or there's a good chance that you could just rename MPC-BE to "mplayerc.exe" and replace it in the tools folder... but I haven't tried it. The command line used is just the player's path followed by the path to an AVS file that BD-RB creates.

[JugHead]

I tried renaming MPC-BE that didn't work... it did with MPC-HC though. I will try the .ini file next, Thanks.

[MrVideo]

For some strange reason, UHD backups to BD25 are taking A LOT longer recently. 576 frames took 55 seconds. It should breeze through that very fast. Yes, it is set to do hardware encoding. Any clues as to what to check?

UPDATE: A currently running job is only doing 10.5 fps. The GPU load is 3-4%.

UPDATE #2: A currently running job is doing 84.5 fps. GPU load is ~13%. No idea why the big change.

[MrVideo]

When doing a UHD backup, BDRB actually did a re-encode of a file only 6 frames long. As I type this, it even did one at 576 frames. Why?

I don't have IMPORT_THRESHOLD set, so that default is 15 minutes. I don't have MIN_M2TS_SIZE set either, so the 100 MB size should take affect, but it doesn't as the first file that it processes is only 6 KB in size. Also, the first three M2TS files are ignored. But the 2nd video file is larger than 100 MB, but only 4 secs long, so it fits one of the two restrictions.

I'm at a total loss as to why files that don't fit the two default settings are being processed.

[jdobbs]

There are a LOT of circumstances that might force a reencode. Some are less obvious than others, like having a filter enabled, or using a source that was imported (and needs to be made BD compliant).

[MrVideo]

[jdobbs]

USE_FILTERS=0

[MrVideo]

Part of a multi-part source maybe?
Multi-part, as in?

[jdobbs]

Multi-part, as in?When a single playlist has more than one M2TS associated with it. It happens fairly often, especially when a source might have more than one play sequence (like alternate endings, original and director's cuts, etc). In those circumstances you have to encode all parts of the playlist (no matter how small one of them may be).

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent version of BD-RB (v0.62.16). Changes for this release:- Made VCEENC (AMD GPU encoder) available on
the Encoder menu by default. When first
selected, BD-RB will do a test to ensure
the capability is present and advise if it
couldn't confirm it.
- Changed the default method by which BD-RB
will decode VC-1 sources to AVISYNTH when
using QSVENC or VCEENC. Tests have shown
faster encoding when compared to internal
software decoding.
- Corrected an error that can cause QSVENCC
to fail when converting VFR sources during
import of file(s).
- Corrected an issue in which switching
between GPU encoders could cause wrong
values to be set for Q operations.
- Corrected an issue in which importing may
fail rarely during conversion when importing
certain unusual codecs using QSVENC. This
fix also corrects the issue in GPUENCC.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

That is what I figured. Just checking to make sure. I'll take a look to see if this was the case using the UHD version of BDEdit.

Here's a thought. Maybe it is time to update to tsmuxer v2.7.0. Development is now complete. There are no longer any nightly updates.

Here's a thought. Maybe it is time to update to tsmuxer v2.7.0. Development is now complete. There are no longer any nightly updates.I'll take a look at it. But, I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm a little worried that the huge number of changes in the last couple (few?) years may make it a major task.

[MrVideo]

Ya, there will be a lot to look into. One example is the extraction of audio. They've now changed the extension for a few of the audio types. It now allows for coreless DD+ audio, but not coreless TrueHD. I know you don't want to allow for BD, or UHD, authoring with coreless DD+, but AFAIK, today's UHD players will handle coreless DD+. At least mine does. :D

UPDATE: It might not be my UHD player that is handling the DD+, but the Denon AVR, as I have the UHD doing passthru of the audio, whereby the AVR is doing the work.

[Emulgator]

There is hope ;-)
I can't remember any need to match my tsMuxeR commandlines versionwise seriously over the last few years,
It all seemed to work nicely (no 3D-BD involved though, I relied on BD-RB to do these, and it went beautifully)
But of course i should not speak about the work that already went into BD-RD to match all use cases.
Lets hope the 2.7.0 did not break anything I did not mux yet.

Hi All,

Does bd rebuilder support 50-series GPUs and NVEnC? My previous 4070Ti was working great, but my new 5070Ti although has dual NVEnC, bd rebuilder tells me "BD-RB could not confirm capability"

Thank you

Thank youNot sure why it wouldn't recognize it. Try adding this line to the "[Options]" area of BDREBUILDER.INI and see if it makes it work:

NVENC_CAPABLE=1

Also, as a test, you could run the following from the command line:

d:\the\path\to\bd_rebuilder\tools\nvenc\nvencc.exe --check-features

Of course the drive would be the one upon which you installed BD-RB. The output should show text which includes "codec: h.264/avc" and "codec: h.265/hevc"

I'd be interested in the results.

[NewUser16]

Thank you very much jdobbs

Unfortunately, that didn't work. Adding the line seem to recognize it, but I get: "Failed video encode, aborted"

Hopefully that can determine the issue

I had few, nearly 100GB 4K UHD videos and I remember when I used 4070Ti with bd rebuider with the highest settings and 1 pass SQM to 25gb, the output was nearly identical to org. and it took maybe 2hrs max to encode. I hope I can do this with my 5070.
I thought, maybe I got bad rip, but I have tried with # of other videos to no avail

[jdobbs]

@NewUser16

I did find this information (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/issues/675) It looks like a newer version of NVENCC may work. I can't say whether it works, but you may want to try it.

[NewUser16]

Thank you, but still no go, the same thing.

Just did some search on 50 series cards and NVENC not playing nicely with other software e.g. OBS, DaVinci resolve and few other. Seem that the software needed support to be added for 50 series cards to make it work. Is it possible that bd rebuider lacking that?
Whether that is something you would even consider that is another thing as it could be ton of work, I would love to use it with my 5070, but now, I'm curious if that's case, so I don't pull my hair trying:)

Thank you

The issue with tsmuxer isn't a problem when you create the file for tsmuxer to run. It is when BDRB is used to do a backup of a disc. The new tsmuxer uses different extensions for some of the audio streams. BDRB, when trying to work with said audio file, uses the older tsmuxer audio stream extensions. It therefore can't correctly figure out the amount of space needed by the audio streams, nor how to mux them back into the disc because it can no longer find the audio stream file.

When you supply the file names, there isn't an issue.

Can confirm that latest NVEnc (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/releases) version works with RTX 50xx cards.


@NewUser16

Download the NVEncC_8.10_Win32.7z extract it and replace the files in the NVEnc in the Tools folder inside the BDRebuilder folder, with the one in the archive

[NewUser16]

Thanks for the info. I did that, but I got the 8.10 x64 from here: https://www.videohelp.com/software/NVEnc#download and still didn't work for me. I will try your suggestion, thank you


No! It failed encoding

When you are saying "it works with 50xx cards", did you actually tested with bd rebuilder

I just used HandBrake and it works fine, so it does work, but as I've mentioned, some apps work and some not due to lack of support for 50xx cards.
I have used bd rebuilder for as long as I can remember and always worked great, but this time hick up that I'm wondering about

[dietachi]

Tested with bdrebuilder.
When I had a 5080 to test with.

Did you delete the existing files of the NVEnc that came with bdrebuilder?

If the 32bit version does not work extract the 64bit version, you need all the files from the archive. Rename the exe from NVEncC64.exe to NVEncC.exe.
However, this might cause issue if you use any filters that are on bdrebuilder, as far as I recall they are 32bit filters only.


You can test if your card is detected by opening a command prompt and the folder where NVEnc has been extracted and execute:
NVEncC.exe --check-hw

Wow! you are kidding me, it finally works:). The x32 didn't work, but after renaming x64 it works great.

Atm. I'm doing 98gb 4K UHD video, big difference in speed compared to the 4070Ti.

Thank you so much much:)

Glad it works 😊

I did a little digging and CUDA Driver (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5615/~/support-plan-for-32-bit-cuda) will not support 32-bit CUDA applications on GeForce RTX 50 series (Blackwell) and newer architectures.

Hi,
this is the BD Rebuilder thread and not DVD Rebuilder.
Nevertheless, pretty sure the source DVD file structure you're using behaves the same. If not, I suggest to use FixVTS on the source files.
That being said I processed a lot of DVDs 20 years ago and never had an issue when the input into DVD Rebuilder was accurate.

I'm having issues with the latest UHD titles (Nightmare on Elm Street); I constantly get the error "TSMUXER ERR: 0xFFFFFFFE". This can be fixed by replacing "tsmuxer4k.exe" with the newest version available, but doing so causes the demuxing process of the following files to fail with the error "-PredictAndEncode() 00006 2803", because the latest tsmuxer outputs files with a language tag ("00092.track_4608_eng" instead of "00092.track_4608"), manually renaming allows for BD-Rebuilder to continue.

My main worry is that there are many places where the filename might be referenced...

[MrVideo]

Exactly which release is it? I'm curious as to what exactly is tripping up tsmuxer.

[jdobbs]

Exactly which release is it? I'm curious as to what exactly is tripping up tsmuxer.You get that error ("TSMUXER ERR: 0xFFFFFFFE") in TSMUXER when the filename used in the .meta file doesn't exist. I think it might be a "catch all" error code.

His error is probably caused for some other reason (maybe a source issue?, not sure) -- but when I stop the process and rename the SUP file (adding the language info) I get that error followed by:

- Error in attempt to multiplex: MUX_00000.meta
- Can't open file: D:\WORKING2\WORKFILES\00000.track_4608.sup

[SquallMX]

Exactly which release is it? I'm curious as to what exactly is tripping up tsmuxer.

The latest UHD 4K release of Nightmare on Elm Street (https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/A-Nightmare-on-Elm-Street-Collection-4K-Blu-ray/392214/), it fails when re-encoding the special features, the ones encoded at 1080p/59.94/HEVC. Similar issues happens with others discs with 1080p/59.94/HEVC content.

Usually there's no problem because I use the "movie only" mode, which allows BD-Rebuilder to complete the process without issues. But this time, the movie was very short, so I decided to keep the additional content, and that's when I ran into tsmuxer problems.

[MrVideo]

I don't have that release, so I can't take a look at the issue.

[m.rup]

Hi, after I have reluctantly upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11, I also updated my reliable BD-Rebuilder V0.60.04 to V0.62.16. Seemingly, everything was fine, but after encode I noticed that in CloneBD some footage was no longer displayed. (Please see attachements V0.62.16_A and V0.62.16_B).
By comprehensive testing I found out that BD-Rebuilder V0.61.16 is the latest version which cooperates with CloneBD (please see attachements V0.61.16_A and V0.61.16_B) while V0.61.17 is the first one that fails.
Since in V0.61.17 a new version of TsMuxer has been used, I tried the option "ENABLE_NEW_TSMUXER=0" wich worked with all versions >= V0.61.17.
So my question is: Shall I stay with BD-Rebuilder 0.61.16 or shall I use the latest version using the "ENABLE_NEW_TSMUXER=0" option?
Or would it be possible to fix the problem?

[MrVideo]

I'm confused. Why are you using CloneBD when BDRB does all the same stuff?

[jdobbs]

So you've "upgraded" to a version of BD-RB that is 5 years old?

Also, this isn't a CloneBD thread... and I'm not even sure what it means to "cooperate" with it.

[m.rup]

@jdobbs: Well, I tried the latest version of BD-Rebuilder, but, as already mentioned, after processing the footage, I can no longer use CloneBD thereafter to remove unwanted content. Since V0.61.16 seems to be the last version using "old" TsMuxer and V0.61.17 is the first version showing the problem which can be solved by using the "ENABLE_NEW_TSMUXER=0" option, I was assuming that the reason for this is the "new" TsMuxer. So maybe there something could be done in regard to TsMuxer. "Cooperate" simply means that CloneBD shows all of the footage after processing with BD-Rebuilder.
@MrVideo: I'm using CloneBD for removing unwanted content after processing with BD-Rebuilder. Unfortunately, I can't use the blanking in BD-Rebuilder for two reasons: First, BD-Rebuilder seems to use some play lists for this, so sometimes, when blanking a certain content, many other content will be blanked, sometimes including some menues, which makes the movie unplayable on my player. Secondly, BD-rebuilder sometimes doesn't display all of the unwanted content although I'm using "MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0" in my BDREBUILDER.INI. Therefore I'm using CloneBD or MultiAVCHD after processing with BD-Rebuilder:

[DrinkLyeAndDie]

Also, this isn't a CloneBD thread... and I'm not even sure what it means to "cooperate" with it.

Obviously, this isn't a CloneBD thread but I just wanted to add a comment:

Once upon a time I would use BD-RB to create a backup or compile some media files into a new BluRay structure with quick-menus. Every now and then for some reason I'd want to do a quick change to the output without doing the job all over again with BD-RB. CloneBD was speedy and accomplished what I needed at the time. Doing this worked just fine until it didn't. I'm not sure if the issue was a change made to BD-RB, a change to CloneBD, or both, but any time I tried to process the output of BD-RB with CloneBD an error would be thrown almost immediately. This started years ago and I just stopped using CloneBD on BD-RB output.

[KaraokeAmerica]

Should the "logs" window contain any troubleshooting info for BDRB or is there another location I can get error codes etc?

I got an error on a commercial 3D that I had already ripped to a decrypted ISO. I wanted to play around with BDRB because I have some homemade 3D Blu-Rays that I'm having issue ripping even though they play fine in a BR player. I am hoping BBDRB can help fix them, but it failed even on a ripped, commercial one.

What are the best troubleshooting steps I can take?

[MrVideo]

What exactly are you trying to rip them to?

[KaraokeAmerica]

What exactly are you trying to rip them to?

I'm trying to rip them to ISO, ISO file structure then 3D-MVC. Ultimately I keep ISO's as backups of my 3D disks and play the MVC files (from MakeMKV usually) from my media server.

I have some disks though that I can't rip to MVC even though I can make an ISO image of the disk (usually) and it plays in a physical player fine. I can also "backup" the file structure in MakeMKV seemingly without issue as long as I don't try to open the ISO or physical disk in MakeMKV.

Those file exports are the files that I am importing to BDRB. They show as 3D but the output is not 3D rippable. It somehow loses the MVC data and I'm not getting any useful debugging info. What I was hoping to do is to import the raw files and somehow "rebuild" them in BDRB so I can make an ISO without issues then rip my MVC files.

[DoctorM]

I was trying to make a bonus feature disc out of 'Until the End of the World'.
It's an exceptionally long director's cut split across two discs and each disc has bonus features.
So using BD-RB I opened a folder that contained both discs and I was offered to merge them, which I went with.
I unchecked the movie and such, named the bonus features in the menu settings and BD-RB automatically used the first disc's menu's video as the menu for what it created.
I know some people find issues (especially on PCs) with the menus not working right, but I burn discs and have never found a problem with hardware BD players.

Except this one. The video is there, but no text to select the bonus features.

Any suggestions or information I should post to make this more clear?

Edit: Never mind. Performed it a second time and it worked fine. Weird. Might be because it was generated with an older version of BDRB a few months ago.

I don't know about those particular commands, but you can add x264 'Tweaks' to the configuration file like I have for some encodes:

TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--ref 4 --deblock -2:-2 --psy-rd 1.00:0.25 --me hex --subme 6

I hope that helps...

[FreaQ]

Thanks. But it looks like the command is for two pass encodes only. I do one pass crf.

In the hiddenopts are following tweaks

TWEAK_PASS_ONE
TWEAK_PASS_TWO
TWEAK_ALTERNATE
TWEAK_ALTERNATE_NV
TWEAK_X265

But none for one pass encoding or x264 only

[jdobbs]

TWEAK_PASS_ONE
TWEAK_PASS_TWO
TWEAK_ALTERNATE
TWEAK_ALTERNATE_NV
TWEAK_X265

But none for one pass encoding or x264 onlyI admit it sounds a little counterintuitive... but if you do a single pass encode, the values in TWEAK_PASS_TWO are used. I probably should have called it "TWEAK_FINAL_PASS" or something similar -- but it is what it is. You should also know that there are some parameters that BD-RB will filter out (such as settings that would cause the encode to be non-compliant).

[FreaQ]

Yes, that's not intuitive at all, but I appreciate the clarification.
Thanks

Also I happened to stumble over the blanking extras feature which is not explained in the hiddenopts.txt. Nevertheless I found the options in this thread. But you should add those to the txt

[FreaQ]

CRF with custom options works. Thanks.

But when I add a job to the queue BDRB uses default two pass encoding instead of the selected CRF encoding which is unfortunate because I want to run the jobs overnight.

[jdobbs]

But when I add a job to the queue BDRB uses default two pass encoding instead of the selected CRF encoding which is unfortunate because I want to run the jobs overnight. It uses the settings that are current at the point you add the job to the queue.

[FreaQ]

It uses the settings that are current at the point you add the job to the queue.

I assumed that and CRF was set. But it started the two pass anyways. I will try again.

[FreaQ]

Nope doesn't work.

Even so I explicitly set it to CRF in the GUI, BDRB startet a two pass encode

I just tested it. I set the output to X264 and CRF, and then added two jobs to the queue. They both encoded in a single pass using CRF.

I'm not sure what you may be doing differently.

[Edit] Ok. I just noticed that you are using LAVF as the decoder. If I set the decoder to LAVF I am also getting two passes. It's doing that because you can't enable CRF with LAVF (DECODER=2) in BD-RB (it's been a while and I can't remember why), and it defaults back to two pass. I have comments in my code that say "you can't enable CRF with LAVF". You can set it to single pass with a VBR bitrate and it works in the queue (because it isn't disabled like CRF). If you want to do CRF, just set DECODER=0 in your INI file and CRF will become available again on the ENCODE SETTINGS menu (it becomes disabled when you set DECODER=2 or 4).

[Edit 2] Just remembered why... when using CRF in making a BD you have to perform predictions using samples to make sure that the CRF used will result in a file that will fit on the disc. You can't do that when using X264's internal LAVF to feed the frames for encoding.

[FreaQ]

Thanks for the explanation.
Changed the decoder to DGDecNV and it works with CRF in Batch.

Another problem when I try to encode a BD with a secondary audio track.

Happens with DECODER=3 and DECODER=0

That kinda' looks like a source that has issues or is corrupt... but just to see if it makes a difference, add the following to the "[Options]" area of your INI:

ENABLE_NEW_TSMUXER=0

That way it will try the older TSMUXER. You never know...

[FreaQ]

Didn't help. I will try to rerip.

I first grabbed the latest DGDecNV but it doesn't supply 32bit binaries. Is there any way to get BDRB to use the latest or are we "stuck" with 2.51 which is the last one that has 32 bit binaries? Should DGDecNV even be used at all anymore? Is there anything new i need to be made aware of in terms of experimental/improved settings? I wasn't shy of experimental options last time i used it.

[Columbo]

Doesn't BD Rebuilder support 64-bit operations? I'd be surprised if not. Otherwise, why do you need 32-bit DGDecNV? Will help if we can.

[Ch3vr0n]

That's not the point. BDRB does yes, however when using DGDecNV it always has prompted for the 32bit DGDecNV executable. Don't confuse this with the 64bit brdb.exe

[Columbo]

Well then, BDRB needs to be updated.

[Ch3vr0n]

Which is what i'd like to know, if that's going to happen. Last i know for the years bdrb has supported dgdecnv there was some kind of issue with 64bit dgdecnv. No clue if thats still the case @jdobss

[Columbo]

Happy to help with any issues incorporating DGDecNV 64-bit.

[jdobbs]

It's been a while since I worked on that section... but if I recall correctly it is because DGDecNV (via DGSource) is used within the version of AVISYNTH required by BD-RB -- and that needs the 32 bit version. Trying to get around that is more work than I think I want to commit to this late in the game. There are too many dependencies (for example, BD-RB creates the script used, and I'm pretty sure there have been changes in format that would make them not work).

[Ch3vr0n]

If it's not too much trouble, could you just look the section when you have a moment. If it's undoable all i'd want to know then if i should use X264's or ffdshows in combo with my strix 4090 for best results. Now obviously it's a holiday period, so i'll check in again in a few days :) Oh and if there's any flags in my old config file here https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=2026476#post2026476 that are no longer used. As i said, it's been a while

[jdobbs]

I don't understand why it is so important to use the 64 bit version... what does it give you that you don't get in the 32 bit version?

[Emulgator]

DG announced that from 252 on he won't build DGDecNV x32 binaries anymore, so this would leave NV Decoding within BD-RB frozen at version 251.
Given the lack of x32 drivers anyway, and nVidia removing x32 build capabilities, well...
From 252 the higher CUDA processing tweaks come in, these shouldn't be necessarily needed for plain decoding.

As I am happy with pure decoding from 251 I am guessing I wouldn't need anything newer than that with BD-RB, so no biggie for me.
I love perfected and frozen tools, but others may see it differently.

Ah, and as I skim DG's forum he mentioned DGIndexNV 2053 still fitting older GPUs like GeForce 210.
Good to know for compatibility fallbacks, maybe.
Some more dug up from there:
Fri Apr 27, 2018 3:40 pm: 32-bit OS is no longer supported for any GPU in 397.31 (nVidia driver) going forward !
32-bit flow on 64-bit OS seems OK, however.
Mon Dec 04, 2023 4:46 am: DGDecNV build 251:
* Moved to CUDA 11. This drops support for pre-Maxwell cards.
Tue Dec 05, 2023 5:35 am: Our builds (DGIndexNV) are now running with CUDA 11. There is no turning back.
(meaning Maxwell minimum)(2023 11 15 should still be 250 ?)
Wed Dec 13, 2023 4:05 am: Moving to CUDA 11 pretty much also kills Win7 support, even with Maxwell+ GPUs.
The reason is that there is no compatible Win7 nVidia driver that supports CUDA 11. :salute: jpsdr.
Thu Dec 14, 2023 6:42 am: Slipstream for DGDecNV build 251:
* Reverted to CUDA 6.5 as the upgrade to 11.7 caused some Maxwell cards to fail (reason not yet understood).
:salute: jpsdr :salute: CYPHER

[Columbo]

If our 32-bit builds still build and run we could supply them. I don't know if there is any new syntax in 257 that could cause issues for BDRB, however. Would y'all like to try it?

[Emulgator]

I would like to try it.

(I was under the impression that all the DGDenoise, DGSharpen, DGHDRtoSDR, DGTweak, DGLevels, DGTelecide, DGDecimate, DGBob
run on CUDA and that these can not be built as 32-bit anymore because
* Support for Visual Studio 2015 is deprecated in release 11.1; support for Visual Studio 2017 is deprecated in release 12.5 and dropped in release 12.9.
32-bit compilation native and cross-compilation is removed from CUDA 12.0 and later Toolkit. Use the CUDA Toolkit from earlier releases for 32-bit compilation.
CUDA Driver will continue to support running 32-bit application binaries on GeForce GPUs until Ada.
Ada will be the last architecture with driver support for 32-bit applications. Hopper does not support 32-bit applications.
Support for running x86 32-bit applications on x86_64 Windows is limited to use with:
CUDA Driver
CUDA Runtime (cudart)
CUDA Math Library (math.h))

If somebody builds for earlier CUDA, then it might be feasible.

[Columbo]

DGDecNV is still built with CUDA 6.5 on vs 2019, so there's a good chance things will work. Will try a build and report back.

[Columbo]

OK DGIndexNV 32-bit built and runs fine. For DGDecodeNV the 32-bit build configurations were removed. I could recreate them with some effort. Before doing that I'd like a commitment from jdobbs that he would do the needful to ensure that the 32-bit stuff works in BDRB.

[Lathe]

There is a difference between "daring and adventurous" and "stupid".

Being a solid dues paying member of the latter group, I would heartily agree... :D

[Ch3vr0n]

My main reason is simple. I'd like to use up-to-date stuff as much as possible and didn't want to have bdrb lose support for DG entirely, although that still might happen as i have no control over how you proceed as its your software afterall. But yeah the first paragraph of Emulgator's earlier comment sums it up nicely. Updated functionality for modern gpus. But the "up-to-date" part also impacts the other things bdrb relies on. LAV filters is up to 0.80. 0.65 goes back to april 2015. According to the release notes https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters up to then there have been lots of improvements and fixes, avisynth is up to 3.7.5 over 2.57. Obviously the saying goes "if it aint broke, don't fix it", just sort of wondering i guess why you've opted to use sub components that are now a decade old. That's all.

Bdrb itself still works perfectly as expected of course, so please don't get me wrong after being "on hiatus" for a while. Just seeking feedback on if i should stick to dgdecnv or if lav and ffdshow etc can be updated to newer versions safely and i should use that instead?

[Emulgator]

Well, I would consider DG's decoders gold standard from day 1.
If asked nicely he was and is constantly ready to improve and extend.
Running older and newer versions here and never missed a frame while other source filters relying on mother ffmpeg did.

BTW if columbo offers his help why not say thank you to the DG side ? ;-)

[Ch3vr0n]

Me too Emulgator, but in the end it's Jdobbs' decision. As shown above it can still be compiled in 32bit, but understandibly won't get done if jdobbs doesn't want too which is his right. Though to be fair, the only way to know what the consequences would be he's referring to, is to actually do it :)

Can BD-RB re-encode a 4K video source? In the Alternate Output config file the highest resolution I see available is 1920x1080.

[jdobbs]

Can BD-RB re-encode a 4K video source? In the Alternate Output config file the highest resolution I see available is 1920x1080.If the source is 4k, just choose one of the "NO_RESIZE" options. The only time you need a specific output size is if you are resizing.

[Dudeman007]

Back here again after 2 years, with new problems. Creating 3D Blu-Ray from full-SBS 3D MKV

Problem #1
This is the same problem as before. If The source is HEVC BD Rebuilder fails to mux the files, because it keeps looking for a file named VID_xxxxx.AVS.HEVC, but the re-encoded files have a 264 extension. This was an issue back then, but one of the workarounds was to re-encode the source video to H264 prior to using BD Rebuilder. That no longer works. If it detects a 4K file (~3840 wide), it detects it as a UHD-BD source regardless of CODEC. How do you fix this? Is there a way of preventing BD Rebuilder from detecting the video as UHD?

Problem #2
After the BD Rebuilder would fail to mux the .264 and the MVC files, I used to use TSMuxer to mux the video and audio files and get a 3D Blu-Ray ISO file. My new problem is that the muxed video, while it plays in 3D it has very pronounced artifacting and breakups. The right eye image breaks up badly in blocks as if it's having a problem keeping up with the decoding. If there is very little stuff moving on the screen it's not very noticeable, but once things start moving, it's so bad it's unwatchable.

Here is an example of the left and right frames. Left is clean, right is messed up.

https://i.ibb.co/RGPzwybM/FP-Bad-encode.jpg (https://ibb.co/Ps4wHQjb)

https://i.ibb.co/WWhzc8PG/FP-Bad-encode-2.jpg (https://ibb.co/qMSgRqW7)


Why is this happening. It is the encode that went bad, the muxer,? I need some help.

[jdobbs]

A 264 extension implies H.264, which is AVC not HEVC. Unless something has changed recently of which I'm not aware, Bluray does not support 3D in UHD (3840). The resolution has to be 720p or 1080p.

[Dudeman007]

A 264 extension implies H.264, which is AVC not HEVC. Unless something has changed recently of which I'm not aware, Bluray does not support 3D in UHD (3840). The resolution has to be 720p or 1080p.

Here is an explanation of what I'm trying to do.

There are some 3D releases lately that have been formatted as full side-by-side, meaning the video frame is about 3840 x 1080 (or thereabouts). These videos play fine with full resolution, but are not supported by many players.

So the idea is to convert these full SBS into MVC files, which are supported by quite a few players, or even converting them to full 3D Blu-Ray format (BDMV folder or ISO) and maintain the full resolution of the video

While most of these videos are already encoded using H264 CODEC, when they are being imported into BD rebuilder, they are seen as UHD video sources due to their size. BD Rebuilder also recognizes the fact they are side by side and demuxes and re-encodes the streams using H264. The resulting files are VID_xxxx.264, VID_xxxx.mvc, and of course audio stream xxxx.track_xxx.ac3 or xxxx.track_xxx.dts.

So far so good. But then it tries to mux the files and fails with "Can't open file: ..\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS.hevc". That's because it thinks this is somehow still a UHD/4K encoded in H265/hevc. So this was the first problem: BD Rebuilder's getting confused about what the file extension of the output should be: It creates the right kind of stream, but during muxing it looks for the wrong one.

So the workaround is to grab the stream files and manually remux them using TSmuxeR and have it output to a ISO file. In the past that worked fine. But now I have another problem. The resulting Blu-Ray ISO or the individual M2TS files do play in 3D, however, while the left eye is clean, the right eye frame contains a lot of blocking and pixellation as seen in those images I posted previously.

Those images I posted are indeed from the frame packed video, but I used Stereoscopic player to show them side by side so that the problem can be seen. When playing this in real time on a 3D TV, that pixellation makes the video unwatchable as it happens almost constantly when there is motion in the video. I even ripped the video back to MVC using DVDFab, but it has the same issue.

Hope this clarifies my problem.

[jdobbs]

Yeah. It's probably the 3840x1080 source that's confusing BD-RB... the 3840 width makes it think it's working with UHD (implying HEVC). Not sure whether I can do anything, but I'll look at it.

[Dudeman007]

Is there something that can be added like a "UHD-BD = 0" switch to prevent this from happening?

Also what about the bad artifacting issue? What's causing that?

P.S. If you want me to, I can upload a 4~5 minute snipped of the source SBS file so you can try it yourself.

[Lathe]

Whoops, I accidentally posted this in the Feature Requests, sorry about that...

Here is what I was asking:

I THINK there is a way to change the playlist when using BDRB, but I forgot what it was.

Basically, I have one of those really rare Blu-rays that when you do a full disc backup and you 'Blank' the main movie in order to create just an Xtras disc, it blanks everything. It's also one of those annoying Blu-rays that divides the main movie up into many m2ts files.

Now, I've already used BDRB thankfully to gather all the stupid main movie files and rending them to a normal playable Blu-ray. But, when I went to create an Xtras only disc, if I Blank the main movie, everything is blanked. IIRC this has something to do with choosing a different playlist, right?

Is that possible?

Also, I generally try to keep the menus and such intact for just the Xtras, is that possible to do?

Thanks!

[Lathe]

Anybody...? Sure would help to know how to choose the right Xtras playlist if that is possible.

Thank you!

[MrVideo]

Anybody...? Sure would help to know how to choose the right Xtras playlist if that is possible.
I'm not sure there is ever a single playlist for all the extras. All of the discs that I remember watching has a menu listing the extras. During a submenu there is a potential for a play all; for example the making of series of featurettes or a bunch of deleted scenes. I've never seen a play all for every extra.

Thanks man, I appreciate the reply. It's just the rare, odd Blu-ray that for some reason when you blank the main film so that you can put all the Xtras with the menu on another disc, it just blanks everything. I had THOUGHT there was a way to go in and change that (don't know why they make it that way OR why they divide the movie up into several smaller files) It's a fairly rare case, but once in a while for some mysterious reason I guess they just make the Blu-ray that way.

I can always just import the xtras and create a Quick Play menu, so it's not THAT big of a deal ultimately...

[MrVideo]

OR why they divide the movie up into several smaller files
Splitting is done for a couple of main reasons:
1) extended version/theatrical version
2) different language text in different areas of the movie (Disney has done it with opening and closing credits where the text is in the language requested to be played by the user. But the rest of the movie is the same.)

Branching allows them to put both movies on the disc and have the highest bit-rate possible.

I've also seen it as a version of copy protection. When copied, the film's software detects this and plays a different playlist, resulting in some pieces being played out-of-order and sometimes, ultimately, displaying a notice that the disc was a copy.

Yep, when they're is branching I see why they need to do that, but this would have to fall into the last case you mention, some form of supposed copy protection I guess. And, maybe it's related to that or not, but in this case the weird blanking the main movie file with BDRB blanking ALL the files. Strange...

Ya, jdobbs is going to have to respond as he programmed the "blanking" code and knows the logic behind what it will, and won't, keep.

[musiclover]

I had in the past some small succes with the hidden option REENCODE_MENUS=1

[Emulgator]

I can only suggest to use DGDemux and BDEdit at the same time on the same BD rip.
In DGDemux go through all .mpls and visualize what is happening in each playlist.
Make notes of all the assets (I do that in an Excel spreadsheet for every serious project).
In BDEdit go through the controlling .mpls. Pick one, add .m2ts entries, or delete them, shift or shuffle them at your will.
If that plays what you need, have it reencoded by BD-RB.
A hoped-for semi-automatic detection of each one's favourite path under past and today's varying structures... I would not put that on jdobbs.

Heh, oh yeah, I can imagine that would work and that YOU would definitely know how to do that! :D

That's probably a tad over my paygrade, but I appreciate the input. Usually I just end up doing a super fast whole disc encode and use that for the Xtras. Thanks though!

[CraigWally]

Also what about the bad artifacting issue? What's causing that?



It's been a while, but my experience of this issue was that no matter what software I used to play these files it had that issue, but burning the iso to disc and playing on a 3D capable Blu-Ray player they played perfectly

I'll see if there is an easy way to add the language to the filename before processing when necessary. My main worry is that there are many places where the filename might be referenced...

Was there ever a fix for this? I'm having the same issue with Amazing Spiderman 2 4K.

Size problem with Batch Queue

Hi guys, i tried to use Batch Queue to make different projects consecutively, but i found that size of BD in batch is not the same of that in single stream and so changes bitrate estimation;

[jdobbs]

And for this, no idea to fix? ThanksFor one thing, you aren't using the same settings for the two jobs...

[GiovAHD]

For one thing, you aren't using the same settings for the two jobs...


If you mean the "quality" parameter, that doesn't change the bitrate, but the encoding duration. The other parameters are all the same, except for using Batch Queue.

[Lathe]

JD... HELP!!! I'm sorry to bother you man, I know your busy with all your undercover government work, but for the LIFE of me I cannot figure out some of these Blu-rays where BDRB will NOT allow you just to blank the movie file so that you can keep the menus and Xtras. It blanks EVERYTHING! I know this has something to do with the playlists, but is there any secret MOJO that you may have slipped in there where we can some way get around that?

Thanks man!

I want to author a dvd with audio only (5.1 AC3 or DTS), i don't mind about picture in background, can be black background.
Can you help me?
Another question is: If is possible to do a DVD with audio only(AC3 OR DTS 5.1), how to Buy a Pro version?

Cheers and thanks :-)

Ps: i need a tutorial too(a link to read, etc)

[jdobbs]

If you mean the "quality" parameter, that doesn't change the bitrate, but the encoding duration. The other parameters are all the same, except for using Batch Queue.Wrong. Quality has everything to do with the bitrate. And when I see one parameter changed -- it usually means others are changed as well.

Thanks man!It usually means that there are playlists that share video sections. When you make changes it has to be reflected across an entire playlist (and any other playlist that shares portions of that one). I've even seen copy protection where they use playlists that are unreferenced in the coding that reference video -- just so it causes confusion.

[GiovAHD]

Wrong. Quality has everything to do with the bitrate. And when I see one parameter changed -- it usually means others are changed as well.

I disagree with what was said. With the same values ​​for Target BD Size, Input BD Size, and Decoding/Frame Serving, the estimated bitrate will be the same! (tested and verified in multiple situations).
The problem here is that in Batch Queue mode, the Input BD Size parameter changes, and consequently, the bitrate changes.
I need to understand why this happens, if possible. Thanks!

I need to understand why this happens, if possible. Thanks!Go ahead and believe what you want. Changing the quality mode will give better quality at a fixed bitrate setting, but it will also change the bitrate at fixed target quality setting.

But... the main driver for this bitrate difference is that the input size is larger in the second example. Again -- that points to changes in settings (or source). The exact same code is executed in batch mode as when not in batch mode. The only difference is where the settings are read.

I can tell you one thing absolutely. The two jobs aren't using the same settings -- because the log shows that they aren't.

[Lathe]

It usually means that there are playlists that share video sections. When you make changes it has to be reflected across an entire playlist (and any other playlist that shares portions of that one). I've even seen copy protection where they use playlists that are unreferenced in the coding that reference video -- just so it causes confusion.

Well, thanks man... I guess there's nothing I can do about it. It certainly does cause confusion alright... I even tried to render the entire disc as BD25 high speed, but for some odd reason it threw an error.

So, I just ended up importing all the Xtras and let BDRB do a QP menu, that's always a decent alternative.

Try DVD Rebuilder, also a creation of our Grandmaster and Host, JD... That was before he started taking Psychedelics and in a flash of brilliance created BD Rebuilder...



https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczMA29GYGmA4JZUBUL6A78vkE3g9hciv7BJD1CJ9l8pMRm5eIAaC4lxwR_AlgyF5iQBHYGTxDQC6uqJRQph5PFIs1BEL2tH7AmCx03S8EObRGv2I2lMxHNBG4x80z7xrqUBEUsiUCyfOqlI33Sr9urSq0Q=w176-h220-s-no-gm?authuser=0

And also you can try DVDStyler...

[raquete]

I also used psychedelics and, in several flashes of brilliance, created big problems... even though I stopped using psychedelics more than 50 years ago, I can't take my eyes off that mushroom.
The effect returns, it never disappears. :rolleyes:

i Have DVDStyler installed but i need a guide or tutorial.

DVD Rebuilder refuse to install in Win 11 cos want windows service pack one or superior.
edited: i got the free version and was installed without problems.

Thank you for help and i need to read 'some' to understand and use one or both programs. :thanks:

ps: mushroom image is saved, peace transmission is on.:cool:

Heh, I'm glad you liked the image... :D it is one of my favourites and I use it often on the few discussion boards I haunt.

I just learned how to use DVDStyler, and it's not too bad. If JD will excuse me for posting it here, since DVDRB isn't working with W11, I'll just post a few basic things I think you need to know.

Okay, I believe when you first open it, this window comes up where you choose the parameters of your DVD. I have it set here for a basic US DVD as you'll see in the settings. Change any of the settings if you need to do so:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczO3ZBTEG59H-Upp3jiQ-coO8FyZ-dViIRdVxWk0w4r87NOg7WUiUtEbd6S_-uIVBVQZIb5wofU9sQcbgOON2kSywlfA8Nz-jueDuH1weVCwLQtGT0OrbdmoAhmlf5uqt0wl9XN-Lkdf6j9Y1iSPKi8jhQ=w727-h912-s-no-gm?authuser=0

Okay, then when you hit 'OK' it goes back to the main interface:

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/AP1GczPA6PEDo8MEBN0k2J-U92pr3S_O15r1bJZ_3Z8QikQyOANHSE6iDNKmDdSpeKzUSZjdn1kRgOJzb7rMAvF9POFWL_Ts6Uo0OX3hq9pAwbAtQfKDEw20QW5lKtvnroRC6TarkcbiwC2I8lL3JYh4Xph0-g=w1477-h1017-s-no-gm?authuser=0

Then, just drag and drop your MKV file (or I GUESS whatever type of media file, I'm not sure, but I used an MKV file) in the interface, and I think then you just go to FILE>BURN and I think that's it. You can choose your background and how your menu looks, I don't remember if it prompts you to do that at first or if you have to find and set that yourself.

I used an MKV file from the 1985 DVD 'MASKS OF DEATH' with Peter Cushing. I made this for a friend of mine who can only play DVDs.

I hope this helps. Feel free to send me a Private Message if you need any other help.

Cheers!

Jamie.

Ummmm... so, I thought you were wanting to make DVD's...???

[Lathe]

Hmmm... so, this is just to play albums then. Well, if you want a background picture showing while playing albums on DVD, then the only thing I can think of (I'm sure others may have better suggestions) is use what I do to create music videos on YouTube. That is a tad trickier getting the background image to show throughout the whole song/album. It's called Microsoft Clipchamp. It's a bit of a pain because even if you download the desktop version, I think you hafta sign in to Microsoft every time. But there you drag and drop I guess your WAV or FLAC file if you hopefully are using lossless audio, and I suppose if you want the entire album you would have to put all the songs in one file, or do songs individually, and then choose a background image. Don't know if that will help...

[raquete]

Oh, yes, I want a DVD, but only with AC3 or DTS 5.1 audio.
I don't care about the image!

I'll simply use the DVD in a DVD player connected to my 5.1 system.

But your tips are great, as they are a good starting point.

Who knows, maybe I'll get good results and publish them to share with those who have the same interests as me, because I haven't found anything simple that gives me the desired results.

Thank you very much. :thanks: 👍

Sure thing! Ah, I see... So, you want to play surround sound DVDs, gotcha! That I'm not sure about. I've created thousands of DVDs, Blu-rays, UHD-HD conversions, etc., but I don't think I've ever actually created a 5.1 DVD with a background image. I DO have tons of SACD's and BR-A and DVD-A discs that I've burned from ISO images, so I can play the full, Lossless audio, either 2.0 or 5.1 on my OPPO player as if I had the original discs, but I've never created one from scratch or with video, sorry.

[raquete]

I made DVDs with only audio and simple pictures a few years ago with DVDLab, GUI for DVD Author,
and even with the 'maligned' Goland AudioDVD Creator with a background image for each song.
The Audio DVD Creator doesn't want to work on Windows 11 even after changing the executable's compatibility to Windows 7.

Incredibly, if you use AudioDVD Creator and put the songs already in AC3 5.1, it doesn't re-encode the songs,
it preserves them as you encoded them. You can choose menu images, chapters, and put several hours of AC3 5.1 on a DVD.
(you can use AC3 448 or 640k, works well)
It was very good, but now it doesn't work on Windows 11.

I don't remember how to use DVD Lab anymore, but it's a pain, very tiring and tedious.
The GUI for DVD Author was very good, but I'm too old to remember all the details and
adjustments that need to be made to get good results...it's not laziness, it's old age (lol)

cheers! :-)

Sounds like you have a lot of experience making these, but apparently you can't run them on W11, that sure sux! When I reluctantly went to W11, I installed every tweak possible to bring everything back to the way W10 looks and works. Thank GOODNESS for people who take the time to allow us to 'Retrofit' the usually very ugly 'Upgrade' to Windows 11!

[raquete]

I don't have much experience doing this, I'm just persistent and almost never give up... in short; I'm stubborn!

I have 3 laptops and 1 'Tower'.

One notebook with Windows 11.
The other 2 notebooks are old and use Intel dual 2.5 MHz with a maximum supported memory of 4 MB each, and I'm going to install Windows 7 32-bit on both. (They have optical output but i never used)

The tower have an i3 and 7.1 audio output, and I'm going to install Windows 7 64-bit.

Let's see what happens... if it doesn't explode or catch fire,
I'll post the result or send a picture from the hospital.:p

Is this a known issue? Or does somebody know a solution?
Using x265 with filters active worked well, but was lasting more than 30 hours :scared:

Edit: My Graphics Card is a Geforce 4070 Super.

Hi there,
when tying to use NVEnc for the first time, I ran into some nasty problem.
When "Use AVS Filters during encoding" is selected, encoding is aborted, showing the error message "Failed video encode, aborted".
This happens always when "Use AVS Filters during encoding" is active, even when all filters are commented out!

Edit: My Graphics Card is a Geforce 4070 Super.I just tested running with AVS filters enabled on my system with an NVidia card, and it ran correctly. I would suggest you take a close look at the commands you've added when you selected "Use AVS Filters" and make sure there isn't a syntax error of some type. You could also try cutting/pasting the command line in LASTCMD.TXT (in the BD-RB folder) right after it fails (to make sure you get the right one) into a command window and see what error you get.

I don't have video files, 🙃
🤣
i only have audio files.A single black picture in background or any image of a mushroom will be cool.

Hi jdobbs, thanks for your reply, I will try the command line and will report back.

Hi jdobbs, as recommended, I ran LASTCMD on command line.

Last command:

"C:\BD_Rebuilder\tools\nvenc\nvencc.exe" --avs -i "F:\BLURAY\FINAL\TESTUHD_NVENCTEST\WORKFILES\TEMP.AVS" --codec hevc --preset quality --profile main10 --output-depth 10 --repeat-headers --chromaloc 2 --colorprim bt2020 --transfer smpte2084 --colormatrix bt2020nc --master-display G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,16450)L(40000000,50) --max-cll 1407,129 --qp-min 0 --vbr 0 --vbr-quality 18.1 --aq --aq-temporal --sar 1:1 --aud --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 45000 --max-bitrate 48000 --lookahead 24 --no-b-adapt --gop-len 24 -o "F:\BLURAY\FINAL\TESTUHD_NVENCTEST\WORKFILES\TEMP.265"

I got the following error:

nvenc : Error on nvEncCreateBitstreamBuffer: 10 (NVENC indicates that the API call failed because it was unable to allocate enough memory to perform the requested operation.)
Failed to allocate Output Buffer, Please reduce MAX_FRAMES_TO_PRELOAD

My system has 16GB of RAM, the graphics card has 12GB.
No other applications are running during encode.
As already mentioned, this only happens when AVS Filters are active.

This made me do some more testing, trying everything related to filters that came to my mind at random, and there is an outcome:

NVEnc in combination with BD Rebuilder can't handle comment character "#"!

This works:
F:FFT3DGPU(bt=-1,sharpen=0.6)
F:Tweak(cont=1.2,bright=0,coring=false)

Neither this
F:FFT3DGPU(bt=-1,sharpen=0.6)
#F:Tweak(cont=1.2,bright=0,coring=false)

nor this
#F:FFT3DGPU(bt=-1,sharpen=0.6)
F:Tweak(cont=1.2,bright=0,coring=false)
does.

That's strange and tricky!
I'm using someting like this for decades now to avoid typos (as you rightly mentioned before) by simply commenting out/uncommenting the filters needed, beginning with DVD Rebuilder, followed by BD Rebuilder using x264 and x265 and there never was an issue.

Well, fortunately, the problem is identified and an encode using NVEnc is running right now.

Looks that I was to hasty :(, meanwhile I get the error also without any comment.

Hmmm, not bad... :D

What was working a couple of days ago, now isn't.

A few moments into collecting info, the following gpugui dialog pops up:
Run-time error '6':
Overflow
I tried running it with a file that previously worked. Same issue.

[Added info]: Sources are 4K. Doing a UHD backup works just fine.

Any ideas?

Any ideas?Try renaming your BDREBUILDER.INI file to something else and see if it works with just standard/default settings. If it does, we'll look at the INI and see if we can identify what it is.

Nope, no change. Still errors out.
