BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[soneca]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.44.16). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which MKV files that
have audio offsets were not being adjusted
properly during import.
- Fixed a problem in MKV generation on sources
with a fairly large number of parts that could
result in a "Failed to REBUILD" error.
- Corrected an error in which rebuild of MPEG-2
sources could, under certain circumstances,
create an audio desynchronization.
- Added the ability to import multiple DVDs into
a single quick-play structure. In order to do
this you must put all the desired DVDs into a
single folder -- and then select that folder
under the IMPORT function. The name of the
folder should describe the DVD set and will be
used in the quick-play pseudo menu.
- Updated the method used for conversion of XVID
sources. Prior releases could lose frames and
result in audio desync when importing XVID.
- Added code to the IMPORT algorithm that finds
illegal audio sample rates, and force encoding
to the required 48Khz for BD/DVD.
- Fixed an error in which performing encodes with
iVTC set, followed by an exit and a follow-on
rebuild could result in incorrect framerates
and sync issues.
- Fixed an issue in which variable framerates in
a source to be imported may result in incorrect
framerate determination during IMPORT.
- Upgraded the tools MKVMERGE and MKVEXTRACT to
a newer release (v2.3.0)
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Thanks! :)

DGDecNV indexing issue: also present with main title (VID_00009) on Beautiful Creatures. Barcode 5412370850492

DGI file is only 3.633kb (3.54MB) for original video size of 30.203,29MB

Processing of vid_00009 began at 3.58h, indexing ended and recoding started at 04.37. Extracting and indexing total time: 37min. Rather long for even my rig.

Anyway my suggestion (question I guess): Is there any way, once your proggie has brilliantly enabled the disc to go straight to the Menu by blanking all the preliminary junk, to now get it to bypass even the Menu, and start playing the movie?

I suspect not; I look at the disc structure with BDedit and can't make head or tail out of it... :oBy this do you mean so there's no menu at all and just the main movie? If so then BDrebuilder has always been able to do that. In the 'Mode' menu just choose 'Movie Only'

Not what I was referring to. All menus & unblanked extras are retained, but on insertion the BD jumps straight to the feature. At the end of feature playback the menus & extras appear for selection as normal.

I've learned this is only possible (or I should say easy) to do with BDEdit and the very simplest of disc structures.

The obvious answer would seem to be to "go to your AnyDVDHD Video Blu-ray Settings and un-check "Remove annoying adverts and trailers"".

Thanks to laserfan & Amigafuture for your suggestions. I did uncheck the "AnyDVD Remove Annoying Adverts: Incompatible". Although the next attempt failed to encode as well, the AnyDVD status changed to "OK". I then uninstalled Avisynth, ffdshow, Matrska Split, and installed the updated versions. This corrected my encode failure problem. Since I did not change anything in these support programs, I can only assume that they "glitched" all by themselves! Long story short---problem solved---thanks for your support.

Dunno why you should have had to reinstall all that "OK" stuff--maybe you just needed to unmount/remount the disc after changing the AnyDVD setting?

This is pretty common if one installs codec packs or other software that can change/override ffdshow settings.
It has been suggested to uninstall and then reinstall those main three helper apps. (Avisynth, ffdshow and Haali) when a failed attempt occurs, which will usually avoid a bug report! :p

Well I follow all the instructions to installed BD_Rebuilder v0.44.16 but when I run it I have always the same error that FFDSHOW is not well configured.
Some months ago on an old version of the BD REbuilder I tried it and I never have any of this problem, the problem is that I don’t have any more that version and I don’t know what it was.
Somebody can help me?

Note to Windows 7 & Windows 8 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry.

[Antonio Branco]

From the installation instructions and the first post of this thread:

Yes, like I told I follow all the instructions and I have run BD Rebuilter as administrator.
But It seems that I resolved the problem, when I installed AVCHDcoder, I didn’t have any more this problem.
The only thing that I have now is, before compress my home Blu-ray movie made with Powerdirector to fit on a BD-9, with BD Rebuilter, I open it without problems with Nero Blu-ray player, and after compress it’s impossible to open it with Nero Blu-ray player.
PS: BD Rebuilter didn’t gave me any error to compress this Blu-ray movie.
Like I said, in old BD Rebuilter I never have this kind of problems, unfortunable I don’t remember what the version it was ok for me.
I already try to run some old versions to see if I find it, but they are not anymore running.

I ran a Quick-Play backup of The Killing season 3 disc 2 to see whether audio sync of last episode is affected. The audio sync is fine!

So, there's something going wrong when Movie-only process combines several m2ts files into a single one. That's when the audio sync of the last episode got messed up. Quick-Play does not combine files, so the last episode is an .m2ts of its own and the audio sync is fine.

Unfortunately the Quick-Play backup is unplayable, because:

I must have tried Quick-Play a dozen times on a dozen different discs, and that's been the outcome every time: quick menu cannot be created.

That error only occurs when X264 fails in an attempt to encode the menu. By the way, the Quick authoring still works when you get it -- it just doesn't show a pop-up indicating what is playing next.

This one wouldn't play on any software players or hardware media players (e.g. Popcorn Hour); tested on 4 software players and 3 hardware players. They start loading the data but give up, as if someone had pressed Stop. Usually that means it won't work on a stand-alone player either so I saved the BD-R for something else.

I'd reinstall everything. There has to be something misconfigured on your system. I've done hundreds of Quick-Play backups in testing -- with no issues in the authoring or playback.

[omegaman7]

I almost ran a quick-play backup last night. But decided since Disc 1, of a series of backups had already been done via Multiavchd, and a particular image was used for a background, I should stick with it. But I may have a job coming up, where it will be ideal.

I'll probably be using BD-Rebuilder more. It's becoming clear that Dean may not be supporting Multiavchd anymore. He doesn't reply to his threads, and there are clearly bugs in his program.

Well, you'll certainly receive more donations from me. You clearly care about the development, for this gem of a program ;)

[varekai]

I regulary use MultiAVCHD and I think it's a great software but it has some serious shortcomings/bugs.
If I keep it simple it will do it's job just fine but as soon as I'm trying to create a more complex menu bad things happen.

If you will develop a similar software I'm in for donations for shure! :D

It's been a long time since I made a donation... so thanks for all your work!

An interesting disc to look at might be "Chicago Live at the Greek". This is a 2 hour and 51 minute concert (!) that is separated into two playlists, each of which will fit easily on 25Gb BD discs, but because (I guess) they are linked to one simple menu with "Play" we can't make two discs each with the nice menu on it. You have to do "Movie only" and select the playlist you want, which works fine but you miss the "scene selection" menu which is important to get-at your fave songs.

The other authoring issue I encounter regularly is not being able to specify which audiotrack and which subtitle track to start the movie with.

[RobertM]

Can't you do a full backup but de-select the streams that you don't want?


Ah, I guess not. I only do 'movie-only' backups, and I thought you could blank out video streams like you can blank out audio streams.

What about changing the name of the vid stream that you want to blank, and replacing it with an alternate, very small vid file. Will BD-RB choke on that?

[laserfan]

I didn't try this, maybe it would work.

When trying to blank one of the two main playlists, this caused the other to blank as well. I would guess it's because they are linked by the menu.

[HomeDepot4]

Good Afternoon! So I have made countless backups with these settings and except for the incident with Taken 2 (now fixed!!!!!) I've never had a problem. Can't get A Good Day To Die Hard to work correctly... The sound is off by a few seconds no matter what I do. I've tried it many times. It is NOT off on the ripped folder... I've checked. Thanks for any assistance! :-)

Hello!

Just a quick question if I may please. I was backing up one of my large Blu-ray movies (the entire BR is about 43 Gigs - the movie takes up about 33 Gigs) I use the entire disc setting with 'Fast encode for extras' and I am using a full BD25 as the target size. I've de-selected all foreign language and unnecessary audio streams. I usually just use your 'Automatic' encode settings because that usually does an EXCELLENT job no matter what. I've come to trust that completely. And it chooses to do 2 pass encodes when it 'feels' it is necessary, which is just fine.

However, I was checking out this one, and although the primary movie takes up 33 Gigs and it is a very action oriented film, I was surprised that BDRB chose to use only one pass for the film itself. Doesn't that seem a bit odd with such a fairly large movie with a lot of fast visuals, or does that seem normal to you? Since it is shrinking it to fit a disc which holds roughly about 23 Gigs, that seems a bit odd. I GUESS I could override the settings and just de-select the one pass options to force it to use 2 pass, but normally it always does an AWESOME job and on my 50" Plasma the back up copies of whatever I do always look great!

Any thoughts?

Thanks kindly for any general opinions. I KNOW this is a vague question, but since you guys are WAY more educated with this program I thought I would ask what your impressions are about this.

Thanks!

That's exactly the power of x264. Many blu-rays are created with a higher bitrate to keep the details than is actually needed. From what i understood long time ago, bdrb first tackles this by taking small clips and finding out what bitrate is REALLY needed to keep details and strips the redundant ones, that change alone reduces file sizes considerably. If the file is then still projected to be too large for the destination, only THEN does it actually recode it.

BDRB uses a system of variables to determine if 1 pass or 2 pass is needed for best results, what type of quality setting will suffice. That's the beauty of x264. It can compress a full sized BD50 down to DVD 5 / 9 size with relative minor quality loss.

Excellent answer Mr. Ch3vr0n! I really appreciate you taking the time to give me a nice, clear simple explanation of the concepts involved and how BDRB goes about it. That gives me a good idea of what is going on.

That is truly amazing what the x264 codec can do! Whoever came up with that should be canonized!

Cheers!

[yankeefan]

Hi, I am having the same trouble with sound being off by a few seconds. It only happens on some movies and it is usually at the end of the movie.

[DGenerateKane]

I've been having two issues lately with BDRB. I'm not sure when they started as I don't process a blu-ray very often, but I know they were happening before I replaced my hard drive with an SSD two months ago, and persisted with a fresh win 7 install.

The first is for whatever reason x264.exe is using 100% of all four of my cores, making my computer agonizingly slow while BDRB is running. I have the encoder set on idle priority, so I assume it shouldn't be utilizing all my resources. I'm fairly sure it didn't before at least, though my memory is less than stellar, so maybe this is expected behavior.

The second is I can't get it to burn the disc after encoding. I saw that ImgBurn opened and closed immediately, so I checked the log and this is the most recent one, though all are basically identical.

Can't you do a full backup but de-select the streams that you don't want?


Ah, I guess not. I only do 'movie-only' backups, and I thought you could blank out video streams like you can blank out audio streams.

What about changing the name of the vid stream that you want to blank, and replacing it with an alternate, very small vid file. Will BD-RB choke on that?
You can. You just have to double-click on the upper part of the streaams list to go into edit mode.

[RobertM]

You can. You just have to double-click on the upper part of the streaams list to go into edit mode.

That sounds perfect. But I just tried it (BD-RB v0.44.16) and I can't seem to get it to work. I've tried double-clicking everywhere in the streams list; on the 'stream' tab label, on the disc name text, the space to the right of the disc name, the icon to the left of the disc name, etc. Nothing seems to change, at least not visibly. Should a checkbox appear next to each stream?

You might have to put ENABLE_BLANKING=1 in the configuration

[laserfan]

Actually I believe it is

ENABLE_TEST=1

At least, that is how I got 44.0.15 to work.

[RobertM]

Actually I believe it is

ENABLE_TEST=1

Right you are. It's a hidden, hiddenopt ;)

Thanks guys.

[jdobbs]

Oh, yeah... I've been meaning to make that the default and still haven't done so.

I originally had the enable_test option, thats why the edit, but after re-reading RobertM's post I thought he was referring to blanking, not movie and menus mode.

He was. Both blanking and movie-and-menus are enabled with that same hidden option.

[gonca]

I missed the fact that ENABLE_TEST did both options, My bad.

I’m using Windows XP, SP3 to run BD Rebuilder 44.16 Tried to back up “Life of Pi” (NTSC). Got a “Job Completed” notation. ImgBurn said both burns (one to a Verbatim DVD-5 and one to a Maxell DVD+9) were successful but neither play on my LG BP 620 or Sony S350. I checked the BDMV folder in “Working” destination and saw that “index.bdmv” and “MovieObject.bdmv” appear as unknown applications. Are they supposed to be unknown applications? If not, what type of file should they be?

[Ch3vr0n]

that problem might have multiple reasons. Have you verified that your player even supports BD9? Just because you burn it onto a dvd9 doesn't make it a dvd as you've seen by the bdmv folder. What type of file should they be, well .bdmv files. That's a normal extension, BD's are not supposed to played back in file mode but only in disc mode. Another case might be that your player simply dislikes that crappy "maxell" brand. Does the original disc have a java menu (animated loading image), ifso your player perhaps supports BD9 but does not support bD9's that use java.

BD Rebuilder reported "Failed video encode" for a Movie-only copy of The Bourne Ultimatum.

The log file is shown below.
The odd thing is that I have uninstalled FFDSHOW and reinstalled the version linked from the instruction post. Yet the log output says it is not the recommended version.

It works for most other Blurays, so there seems to be something about the content. However, there's not much error detyail to go on.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David.

Begin by uninstall of all helper applications and then reinstall and if it doesn't help remove bd-rebuilder copy and get new one.

VC-1 decoding is set incorrectly. Look at the instructions in the first post of this thread.

[Lathe]

I've been reading through these posts a lot and I noticed a little while back that Mr. JDobbs stated where it seemed that he doesn't like this encoder.

I can't remember where I read this, but I read that this encoder helps with interlaced VC-1 encodes and SUPPOSEDLY utilizes your 64 bit 4 core system better. So I have it selected in the setup menu.

However, now that I just read here that he doesn't like it and I think I saw earlier on this thread that he said it DOESN'T run any faster, I'm confused as to how I should have it set. Also, OTHERS here seem to swear by it and ALWAYS use it. So I am REALLY confused now...

Also, I THINK I read that if you select to use that filter that it nullifies the MULTIPROCESS option where you can set it to '2' is it I think, where it chooses what is best.

Now I DON'T know what to do in how to set up the encoding for the fastest, most efficient way... Should I de-select the LAVF option and put the MULTIPROCESS=2 back in the config file?

I am runnings Windows 8-64, I have 4 processors, and 8 Gigs of RAM.

I really appreciate any clarification that you could give me as to which setting is best.

Thank you!

VC-1 decoding is set incorrectly. Look at the instructions in the first post of this thread.

I checked FFDSHOW settings. Here is a screenshot showing that VC-1 is set to wmv9 as required. But BD Rebuilder is saying it is not set correctly.

Upgrading to BD Rebuilder 0.44.16 seems to have fixed the failed video encode.

However, the resultant 00000.mt2s file has a dark green screen from the start, or various colour shades if you playback from elsewhere. I have seen this issue before with other Bluray copies and had to resort to using the original mt2s file. The playback is either in VLC or with a Dune HD media player. I do not think it's an artifact of VLC.

Here is the log for the copy:

Any ideas how to resolve the incorrect video?

When you load the BD into BD_Rebuilder right click and preview the Vid 000's and see if they play in MPC Classic. If you have the right codecs and FFDshow configured correctly then it will play, if not then you need to uninstall all the helper apps, delete the BD_Rebuilder folder directory and reboot your pc. Maybe not necessary but I always run a temp files and registry cleaner like the excellent (FREE) CCleaner and then follow EXACTLY the instruction's for installing BD_Rebuilder from the first page of this thread. I have had to do this at least three times over the period I first started using this program. It probably seems like over kill for a program that was working before but BD_Rebuilder is a very complex prog and sometimes just needs to be refreshed when it does not work correctly. It is just too complex to trouble shoot each and every part, just nuke it and start over. Hope this helps.

jdobbs,

The author of tsMuxeR has recently posted on the forum about updating the program to add 3D support.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168539

Perhaps you might be interested to contact the author to fix any bugs you may have found while working with tsMuxeR. It might help you in developing BD-RB.

Something is wrong with the BD Rebuilder 0.44.16 because I open a Blu-ray format file with Nero Blu-Ray Player 12.0.17700 without problems and when I compress this file with BD Rebuilder 0.44.16 software it impossible to open it again with Nero Blu-Ray Player 12.0.17700.
I don’t know why this happens, perhaps is missing something on the BD Rebuilder 0.44.16?
Somebody can also try it?
