I've been randomly getting this crash once in a while. Does it have more to do with my computer than with BD-RB?

Hi.

I was doing a full backup of Bangkok Dangerous, German version. With 0.19.06 to BD25.

Its nearly a perfect copy. Only one thing:
The first thing played is a trailer. After that comes a motion menu. But the menu items don´t appear. After the first run of the menu, after about 1 minute, the menu loop starts again and now there are also the menu items.

Without processing through BD-RB (meaning only running through AnyDVD HD), the menu items appear normally.

What Information would help you to analyse the problem?

Bye
Is it the same for playback on PC and playback on a standalone player?

[drmih]

Here's some more information on the problem with discs and the audio / subtitles unselectable on certain discs. I did the Matrix Trilogy (R1) and got the following using the latest version:

The Matrix (full disc / bd-25 / all english audio left / dts untouched) - Everything seems fine but when you play the disc there is only one audio track which is DD 3/2.1 48khz, you can toggle through the others but nothing changes where you should pick up the directors commentary. If you change the audio by the menu you see the track number change but still 3/2.1 main audio.

The Matrix Reloaded / Revolutions (bd-9 / full disc / audio processed / english commentaries included) - there is no sound on my sony standalone and you can't toggle the audio or subtitles and the information line shows no audio stream. It plays fine on a pc so I played the main movie m2ts using media player classic and you can select the movie audio, or two secondary tracks and they are fine.

It must be some flag not being set correctly and the only audio that was playable would seem to be the HD one on the bd-25.

Bye The first M2TS probably wasn't recognized as a menu and the overlay PGS was removed as if it were an unwanted subtitle. I'm trying to improve my recognition of "menus" for the next release -- but it isn't easy to do. I'd suggest you set BD-RB to keep all subtitles, and leave it that way.

Ive been trying to rebuild Disney movies, but with every single one i get the following error:

i was trying to rebuild cars and I got this error it also happens with the movie only rebuild, it has also been happening with various other disney blurays. Also, with High School Musical 3 it reads the source as 116GB. Why would that be?

Here's some more information on the problem with discs and the audio / subtitles unselectable on certain discs. I did the Matrix Trilogy (R1) and got the following using the latest version:

The Matrix (full disc / bd-25 / all english audio left / dts untouched) - Everything seems fine but when you play the disc there is only one audio track which is DD 3/2.1 48khz, you can toggle through the others but nothing changes where you should pick up the directors commentary. If you change the audio by the menu you see the track number change but still 3/2.1 main audio.

The Matrix Reloaded / Revolutions (bd-9 / full disc / audio processed / english commentaries included) - there is no sound on my sony standalone and you can't toggle the audio or subtitles and the information line shows no audio stream. It plays fine on a pc so I played the main movie m2ts using media player classic and you can select the movie audio, or two secondary tracks and they are fine.

It must be some flag not being set correctly and the only audio that was playable would seem to be the HD one on the bd-25.Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that's how it's supposed to work (assuming you removed some audio tracks). The "empty pointers" to track that were removed all point to the audio that is retained.

[jdobbs]

For the folks who were having issues with WALL-E, I've picked up a copy (with my donations :)) and will be running it tonight. Hopefully I'll see the same error and can find a fix.

[Chefkoch_ico]

The first M2TS probably wasn't recognized as a menu and the overlay PGS was removed as if it were an unwanted subtitle. I'm trying to improve my recognition of "menus" for the next release -- but it isn't easy to do. I'd suggest you set BD-RB to keep all subtitles, and leave it that way.
I should have mentioned it before. I kept all subs. I even kept all audio tracks.

Anything that could help, just ask.

@shark: I dont have a SAP. I use my normal PC (PowerDVD7.3) and my HTPC (PowerDVD8) for testing. My brother has a PS3, but its not often, that I test there. Getting a Samsung BDP-1500 soon.

I Have PowerDVD 8 fully updated and i test my encodes by mounting the iso image then running it as a disc in powerdvd... sometimes they dont work correct in powerdvd but i burn them to BD-RE anyways and test in my Sony S350 and they work perfect.

Can you post the contents of the MUX_00000.META file? If possible a command line attempt at muxing might help reveal exactly what error you are getting from TSMUXER.

I ran TSMUXER on the MUX_00000.meta file and got the following error.

i tried rebuilding Nights In Rodanthe, and I got the following error:
BR Rebuilder experienced an error 5 [17:51:16] CorrectMPLS() 00009 5
What is this error? Please help, and thank you.

[rafrag]

there is a new ver. of x264 released today, can it be used with existing bd rb or we have to wait for new release?

[procorea]

Speaking of new x264 release, could this be related:

In rebuilding "Live Free or Die Hard", the resulting m2ts file resulted in garbled video; band of scrambled pixels about 1/5 of image height appear for about a second, every 2-3 seconds.

Hint: x264 failed encoding on 1st try, but succeeded on retry.

I processed the whole thing twice to ensure it wasn't some OS glitch (was runnning several apps the 1st time) - identical result.

Note also this behavior, using V 0.19.6, wasn't occurring with prior try on same movie with earlier version 0.19.4 if I remember correctly), however resulting file size was much samller thant target for a DVD9 (was yielding just under 5 GB).

hmm, odd. It's the UK Version, import via Amazon. I'll post more detailed failure info as soon as possible. Thanx for your research.

Did rebuilder automatically select the correct playlist ? It did not with me. Had to manually select it. As a default it selects file 0004, i think. Which is the biggest chunk but not the entire movie. But let me check again.

Open the ORIGINAL m2ts BEFORE running BD-Rebuilder to theck if BD+ got removed properly by AnyDVDHD. It sounds like the protection is still on the disc. (What you describe is what BD+ titles look like if the protection has not been removed).

Hi.

I was doing a full backup of Bangkok Dangerous, German version. With 0.19.06 to BD25.

Its nearly a perfect copy. Only one thing:
The first thing played is a trailer. After that comes a motion menu. But the menu items don´t appear. After the first run of the menu, after about 1 minute, the menu loop starts again and now there are also the menu items.

Without processing through BD-RB (meaning only running through AnyDVD HD), the menu items appear normally.

What Information would help you to analyse the problem?

Bye

I was able to get around this problem. I took a look which m2ts the motion menu is and looked at the size. It was around 240MB.

So by setting MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250 and reencode (thx for ENCODE_QUALITY=5) the menu is now fully working.

If I can provide you some files to improve menu detection, just tell.

Hey jdobbs, maybe you haven't seen this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1255073#post1255073) yet, but the poster makes a case for an error in the fixclpi code.

If he's right it might be the reason for some of the oddities posted here.

hi

using the last beta.
it's the first time i don't get the audio error.and so the first time the backup begins.i work on the rip of the "the ligue of extraordinary gentleman".by rip i means it only gets french audio and movie only.but the size is 20 GB.

in bd rebuilder log,i can see "input bd size 4.00 GB".it's wrong.

if i got a rip with bad resolution for ps3 (not 1920*1080 or 1280*720),can i use the "convert 1080p to 720p" option to get perfect 720p reso.

No, you use your original disc that you have legally paid for and will get much better results as the source will be better too.

[infiniter]

I guess I found another AVS script bug (don't shoot me if it was posted before, I used the search):

If the source .m2ts is interlaced, the AVS script for reencoding contains

FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)
ConvertToYV12()

The problem is that FieldDeinterlace only accepts YV12 (and not all videos are YV12) or the other format and thus the reencoding stops.

So the script should be:

ConvertToYV12()
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)

instead.

thanx jdobbs

first time i can finish the work.no more audio errors.got a 7.43 GB instead of the 7.72 estimated target.

just a precision please.i know the last nvidia gpu with pv2 (don't know about ati) decodes h264.no more cpu at 100%

100% is almost exactly what i get when i use bd-rb (i know it's for encoding).i got a 8800gtx sli.and 8800 gtx have only pv1,so here's the reason of my question,cause i can test

do new nvidia gpus help encoding in h264 only on nvidia software like badaboom? or programmers can with the help of cuda introducing encoding with gpu?

hope you understood what i meant,cause using technical english words isn't easy,sorry.

can someone with core i7 and with nvidia purevideo 2 tell us the % used by the cpu?

thanx

aften seemed to hang encoding a 5.1 16 bit lpcm stream I mistakenly choose twice instead of the AC3. It seemed to finish the audio encode but never closed, after closing BD-RB said audio encode failed and the project had to be restarted.

Also with this in the .ini it still encodes DTS to 640 AC3 after the first m2ts video is encoded in movie only mode of a seamless branching title
DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
AC3_640=1
Is BD-RB treating the video correctly by encoding each m2ts separately even though it extracted the audio/subs as one by using the mpls?
I guess I'll find out in about 6 hours otherwise.

[Sharc]

Is BD-RB treating the video correctly by encoding each m2ts separately even though it extracted the audio/subs as one by using the mpls?

I noticed that the individual m2ts of a movie on the original disk may have different average bitrates. By re-encoding them separately the bitrate can be allocated in proportion by BD-RB which may be beneficial to the quality (assuming that the original allocation has been optimized by the studio).

[turbojet]

Allocated better then treating it as one file and letting x264 decide? I wouldn't think so and I think it's one of the main reasons jdobbs added bitrate distribution in DVD-RB.

I don't really mind encoding it split up, as there shouldn't be that much of a difference in most cases, not something people could tell at least. But it would be nice if I could benefit from the split files like RB-Farm did. However I do think to get the most efficient encode treating the file as one and letting x264 decide where to spread the bits is better.

I was mainly wondering if this is how it's designed in BD-RB or if it's a bug. After all it could append all the video files then mux audio/sups in. An alternative could be appending directshowource lines in avisynth before encoding.

Hi !

Though BD Rebuilder runs fine, I can't get the disks to play in my Panasonic BD 35...
Eventhough the BD 35 doesn't like VC1 streams remuxed with TSmuxer (the player si frozen...), I never had trouble with AVC video streams.

I tried with "Eagle Eye", in order to fit it on a BD25. It plays ok with PowerDVD on my desktop computer, but I have no picture when playing it with my BD 35. Did I miss something useful ? Thanks !

[turbojet]

Elesias try adding 'FIX_CLPI=0' to ini and restart BD-Rebuilder if it's running and encode again.
This probably won't be needed or even suggested after the next version is released.

[turbojet]

DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
Doesn't seem to do anything as it's always encoded to AC3 anyways, is there still a reason for this jdobbs?

[laserfan]

It seems that some of my muxes work better with "contSPS" disabled in tsMuxeR output, for a Chapter-mark landing/accuracy point-of-view. Since BD-RB seems to build .meta files on-the-fly i.e. I can't manually fiddle with its tsMuxeR .meta files thus output options, might it be possible for testing purposes to add some options e.g. CONTSPS=1, INSERTSEI=1, FPS=1???

If not, does anyone here know how the many individual muxes that eventually become a single BDMV structure are accomplished with tsMuxeR? Or is this some "magic" built-in to BD-RB code itself? :confused:

Is "Stricter AVCHD compliance" recommended for such player, or can I let it unchecked with no consequence ?

[jdobbs]

DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
Doesn't seem to do anything as it's always encoded to AC3 anyways, is there still a reason for this jdobbs? It still reencodes them -- but it doesn't use the AC3, it uses the demuxed original. I do that so that if you change the setting after you have already completed the job, you don't have to start over from scratch. I guess I could take it out, but the time to encode the audio is negligible in the grand scheme of things.

Well, no worry, as I have been one of the strong promoters of applying re-distribution in DVD-RB times:)
Actually - for a full-disk encode - I have been thinking why not apply 1-pass crf encoding (based on a size estimate) to the main movie, and apply 2-pass encoding to the extras to fit/fill the target size. Could save significant encoding time in particular when in future the Extras which one wants to keep can be selected.
Just a thought, not a request.

[jdobbs]

[turbojet]

Actually you may be able to get away with the current encode by using latest fixclpi (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/fixclpi_v23.zip) with a command line like: fixclpi <path to BDMV>.

It should work unchecked not sure about checked if it works. It's only needed for playback on Samsung 25xx and firmware v2.3+ on Samsung 1500 players as far as I know.

Just a thought, not a request.Actually that code is already in BD-RB, but disabled. When I originally started to write it, it was to make a program I could use to do one pass encoding for movie-only discs and kinda' grew into what it is now. The main module is, in fact, still called OP264 (one pass 264).

I disabled it because I could never get the prediction accuracy working well enough... but after BD-RB gets further along I'll start working it again.

Most of what fixclpi does is already built into BD-RB, and it won't notice the difference (or make the change). But, when I release the latest BD-RB this afternoon, you should be able to continue and just do the rebuild without reencoding. You just have to make sure at least one of the M2TS files in WORKFILES is missing in order to force a rebuild of all the parts.

[Sharc]

Great news. I just wish you will find the time some day...

[turbojet]

X-Files 2 didn't rebuild correctly in movie only mode. I'm using mkv intermediate files because of the MPC bug so it may not be the same with .264 files. But I don't think any mkv files can be appended in tsmuxer. I found that appending the already muxed m2ts files is a simple workaround.

[jdobbs]

I've done that one in both FULL and MOVIE-ONLY modes. I'll try it with MKV intermediates set.

[turbojet]

I can check to see if .264 files append in about 30 minutes, it takes awhile to demux and convert DTS-MA to DTS on this one.

.264 files append fine in tsmuxer.

[turbojet]

Could you tell me the aften command line that is used to encode 5.1 lpcm?

I'd like to try to debug this and report it in the aften thread.

Also in movie only mode I see it muxes video to m2ts first then muxes .264/.mkv + audio/sups, any reason except for in seamless branching cases for the double mux?

[[SLiM]D12]

I haven't tried this since x-mas, just tried again with Faceoff and tried to do a BD-25 and it came out as 5GB and the final copy looks horrible, pixelated and unwatchable....

Have a look at the guide, it looks like you most likely haven't set it up properly for your desired output size. (I've wrote a basic guide look in main forum)

[[SLiM]D12]

how hard can it be? You choose Target Size BD-25 under Settings Options.

I'm not new to this, this being a full 50 GB disc, if i chose 5 GB on purpose, i should've got that nag that says "this is alot of data blah blah"

Have u selected 25GB output then existed and restarted the program? Some options dont get updated without a restart.

I didn't restart, i'll try to queue it up again tonight and see what the result is.

[13:55:17] BD Rebuilder v0.19.06 (beta)

Also in movie only mode I see it muxes video to m2ts first then muxes .264/.mkv + audio/sups, any reason except for in seamless branching cases for the double mux? If you grab it while it's encoding it is stored in a .BAT file in the WORKFILES directory. The AVS information is fed directly into AFTEN via WAVI.EXE:

"d:\path\to\tools\wavi.exe" "d:\path\to\workfiles\AUD_NNNNN_PPPPP.AVS" - | "d:\path\to\aften.exe" -v 1 -b 448 -readtoeof 1 - "d:\path\to\workfiles\AUD_NNNNN_PPPPP.AC3"

the "-b 448" parameter sets the bitrate at 448Kbs
the "-" for wavi.exe and aften.exe makes the output of wavi feed the input of aften.
the "-v 1" means verbose mode

I've just updated the first post of this thread with a new version of BD Rebuilder (v0.20.01). Below is a summary of the changes:
- Added additional code to help prevent removal
of subpictures from streams detected as menus.
- Adjusted the constant for M2TS multiplexing
overhead. Output size should be closer to that
specified now (prior versions resulted in some
undersizing).
- Added code to prevent certain possibilities of
errors in CorrectMPLS().
- Added code to more definitively recognize menu
items for special processing.
- Updated code to prevent "Quick" encoding of
video segments that are a component of a multi-
part feature.
- Made changes to the method for correcting tables
in the TSMUXER CLPI files. Panasonic players
are hopefully now be able to work without setting
the "FIX_CLPI=0" flag.
- Updated the status of encode so it more accurately
resumes (especially in movie-only -- note: make
sure you've selected that same PlayList).
- Updated nicaudio.dll to v2.02. Don't remember
why I was keeping the old version in the zip file
distribution. But I've been using this one for a
while now.
- Updated X264.EXE to the latest release (r1115).
- Updated TSMUXER.EXE to v1.8.18(b).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
