BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Sharc]

Yes. I currently upsize to 3840x1080 via AVISYNTH when I feed it to FRIMEncode.
If I understand the new 3D SBS IMPORT correctly, this would mean that we actually loose the original resolution when converting the half-SBS import to full FRIM-MVC, as the upscaling does not bring the details back.
If so, I think full SBS import 3840x1080 (as an option) would make sense.

Edit:
Sorry I missed your last post. Apparently you are working on it.

Edit:
Sorry I missed your last post. Apparently you are working on it.You don't lose the resolution when you reencode -- if it is half-SBS that resolution was already lost before you even start the import.

But, yes, I should be posting an update shortly that supports full SBS importing. I found another small change I need to make during testing.

BTW, BD-RB already supports full SBS backups to MKV or MP4, but I may add another preset just to make it clear.

[mparade]

No... but the output size would be unpredictable. It may or may not be small enough to fit on your selected target.

That's great, thank you.

[jdobbs]

I had to make one small change to enable full SBS support. I'm doing a test now, and will post an update (assuming it works ok).This will likely not be posted until tomorrow. I need to do some more tests.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.46.07). Changes for this release:- Added a new type of IMPORT function. BD-RB
will now import video files in 3D side-by-
side (SBS) format, and when reencoding the
created pseudo source to BD-5/9/25/50 they
will be converted back to standard MVC for
3D playback in 3D-capable BD players.
- Corrected an error the could result in a
failed encode when outputting to ALTERNATE
formats from a 3D source without having the
"Enable SBS 3D Movie-Only output" selected.
- Fixed a problem with some non-multipart
sources using multiprocessing settings that
could result in a "ERROR in attempt to mux
(MKVMERGE)" error when ALTERNATE output has
been selected.
- Fixed an issue in which an ALTERNATE choice
from a 3D source that has been selected for
intact video output without SBS mode chosen
might sometimes incorrectly reencode.
- (v0.46.07) Updated the SBS 3D IMPORT feature
to support full SBS imports. v0.46.06 only
supported half-SBS imports.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I've moved a few off-topic posts to another thread.

Thanks jdobbs! :)

My sincere thanks to jdobbs for the BDRebuilder program. It has proven so very useful to me for shrinking files down to the size where they fit on a DVD or DL medium.

I'm wondering if there is any way the program can be made any faster than it currently is, or is it running about as fast as it possibly can now?

I have been re-authoring BDs with my own methods for a long time, but recently found BD-RB to be easier and faster than my old way. It seems to me that while 25GB BD-Rs are wicked-fast to make (just a few hours) with BD-RB, to shrink these programs to -5 or -9 size is always going to take longer because x264 has alot more work to do.

Beyond that I dunno given you haven't said what your PC setup is.

You are probably aware of the One-pass (CRF) mode which shortens the encoding time at a certain (but low) risk of occasional oversize (or undersize). I use it often for BD5/9. In the rare event of oversize I have to redo the encoding either with a manually selected slightly higher fix CRF (rebuilder.ini hidden option), or 2-pass.
I think the various steps of BD-RB are already widely optimized. The biggest portion of the time is normally consumed by the x264 encoding which stresses the CPU close to 100%, so there is nothing to be gained there.

[inge70]

Thank you for your great work @ Jdobbs

[mparade]

Yes it is.... I think it is high time again sending a few bucks for Full 3D MVC backups,....:)

yes it is .. 've already done .. :)

Please read my response (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1664985#post1664985) to your first post.

so, now i´ve encoded "odd thomas" (main movie) it with v04605 (it makes no difference which one you use - all other bds i have encoded are in a good shape, no problems at all) in bd-25 size. all looks fine now, no dtc blocks, but i want it dvd9 size, so i take the bd-25 sized one and reencode it. i also activated the "3d to 2d encode" option, but it is no 3d original source. I hope all works fine. here is the

i will post results of the dvd9 encoded one!

1. You said that an earlier version created a good copy while a newer one created blocks -- and both were using the same version of X264.

2. I explained that it was highly unlikely because they use the same command line and asked you to post the two command lines so I could show that it hadn't changed.

3. So now you've decided you're going to post two command lines -- one from a BD-25 and another from a BD-9.... of course they are going to be different. The bitrate will be 5 times lower!!!

How is that going to help, or even mean anything at all?????

[rendez2k]

Hi, so my understanding of the new 3D to BR feature is that I can take a SBS MKV, import it via the 'file>import video file (side by side)' command, select BD-25 as my output and hit go? Tried two different MKVs, both failed. Are there some other bits of software required or have i got the feature wrong?

the 10 min clip did not make problems in the test-runs, but the entire main movie was bad to encode! no you don´t understand, of course there are blocks by lower bitrate encoding, but they do not flinker or change the position - in this case it was problemtic, the dtc-blocks were pulsating and went out of stukture! crazy, isn´t it?

Any chance they are odd input sizes? Can you post the AVS file contents? If that doesn't work maybe you can get an example MKV to me for testing.

[rendez2k]

Hmmmm, well I had a line in my config about MVC so I removed it. Encoding has now started. I think I had to add MVC from a different package,something to do with the 3D side of things? Do I need it?

[omegaman7]

My first attempt of 3DMKV(1/2 SBS) to 3DBD appeared to work. But I never saw anything about using FRIM. It used X264. And there was no "SSIF" data. So perhaps I'm confused as to the 3DBD standard. The resulting file stays in SBS? I won't be trying again, until I have my 3D display in a week or two. Though BDrebuilder seemed to acknowledge that everything 3D was kosher, regarding the input.

If you have a pseudo structure source that was created by importing a SBS source, and you choose movie-only output, and not ALTERNATE (it HAS to be movie-only, because BD-RB only supports BD3D for movie-only) -- FRIM will be used and you will get a full BD3D compliant structure after the encode. FRIM is the only way to do MVC encoding with BD-RB, X264 can't do it.

Keeping it SBS would defeat the whole purpose.

Thanks JD. I'll likely try again today :)

"Keeping it in sbs would defeat the purpose"

I had a thought about that. That's why I posted. I'll try again.

so it´s done, the bd-25 source of "odd thomas" (reencoded from the original source) did the job well. the dvd9 sized output looks great. here is the OT_DVD9_LASTCMD.TXT:

"C:\video\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "C:\VIDEO\FILM\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS" --preset medium --bluray-compat --b-pyramid none --weightp 1 --qpmin=0 --bitrate 7625 --level 4.0 --qpfile "C:\VIDEO\FILM\WORKFILES\VID_00000.CHP" --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 13000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --threads auto --thread-input --stats "C:\VIDEO\FILM\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS.264.stats" --pass 2 --output "C:\VIDEO\FILM\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS.264"

now i will reencode the bd-25 source to dvd5 size with 1440x1080 resolution and dts-reencoding to ac3 (what was the my first problem in question), but i cannot reencode the original source main movie to dvd5 size with 1440x1080 resolution in one step (i only have the mainmovie "odd thomas" riped from the original bluray)!

I really should have heeded the warning.
"- Warning: SBS 3D source indicated."
By selecting movie only output, all appears to be well so far. :o

Rendez2k, are you setup for movie only ouput? Because apparently that's necessary.

Perhaps when importing a single title, full backup can be grayed out, and not possible.

Bugger. Nope, it was on full disc. Will have to try again tomorrow now!

Maybe automatically select MOVIE-ONLY when the import is complete... I hate to block full backup completely , because there might be someone who wants to keep SBS output to BD. Although I admit that is probably rare.

i think it is a bug when bd-rebuilder isn´t able to rebuild a movie only source from "odd thomas" (man, other bd´s work fine), to dvd5 size with 1440x1080 resolution in one step! the result was a very uggly videoquality with blocks out of order! but i will stop writing posts now. i have helped myself and i have what i wanted! the trick to rebuild the original to bd-25 size seems to work.

1. Click on the start button and select FFDSHOW from "All Programs"
2. Select VFW configuration.
3. On the Decoder tab, go down to "Raw Video", and select "All Supported".

Let me know if that works -- and I'll update to a new version that does this automatically at encode time.

Appears to be running now :) Thanks! ;)

@ ~8hrs to go :S

@ ~8hrs to go :SGreat to see its working.

Yeah, MVC encoding is anything but fast. But I notice on my system that my processor time is nowhere near 100%. I need to find a way to multiprocess when using FRIMEncode. On my system I think I could probably double the speed.

Yeah, mine fluctuates around 60%. Pretty soon, and my computer will run off a self sustained generator. And wattage be damned :)

No, it's closer to 50%.

i think it is a bug when bd-rebuilder isn´t able to rebuild a movie only source from "odd thomas" (man, other bd´s work fine), to dvd5 size with 1440x1080 resolution in one step! the result was a very uggly videoquality with blocks out of order! but i will stop writing posts now. i have helped myself and i have what i wanted! the trick to rebuild the original to bd-25 size seems to work.

only two sentences! it plays back on my blu-ray player with a very good image! good job, jdoobs!

Would be great! ;)

No, it's closer to 50%. I have solar panels powering my stuff... but it's snowing like hell out at this moment -- so their not doing me much good right now.

Yeah, we have to try on the blu-ray player, before reporting here. Depending on the circumstances of course. Decoding for playback on a pc, can result in mixed outcomes. The Blu-ray player, is the most important result.

Nice JD lol.

Nice JD lol.Software players often introduce their own artifacts.

Have tried using the 3D capabilities to:
a) do a full backup of a 3DBD to BD25, and
b) do a movie-only backup of a 3DBD to BD25.

However, I always get a "Failed video encode, aborted" result. Are these capabilities supported or am I misunderstanding the new features?

I saw that post and my result was after I made that change.

Interesting... Then I'm afraid I can't help you :S

You can't do "a" -- because only movie-only 3D backup is supported. There should be a .BAT file in the working folder. Please post its contents.Refer to this post:
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1665312&postcount=19037That only affects SBS imports that are being encoded.

[omegaman7]

My bad LOL! His error was soo similar.
