BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[laserfan]

I use the "ancient" version of TSMUXER because all the new ones introduce new bugs -- including crashes. I'll stay "ancient" because it works...I've used 1.8.8 mostly, but every newer one as well, and they have never ever "crashed" or otherwise caused any problems whatsoever, except of course for the "chapter landing" issue that fixclpi helps to resolve for me.

But, I'm speaking in terms of tsMuxeR.exe standalone, and not in the context BD-RB which I have only tried a handful of times.

25mbps is maximum for high 4.0 profile
62.5mbps is maximum for high 4.1 profile
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264#LevelsBut Blu-ray has its own restrictions on top of H.264 profiles.

according to this site http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/
max bitrate for blu-ray is 40 mbps but for unknown reason BD-RD uses only 25Mbps

I tried to compress Few Good Men and the audio extraction worked fine but this is what i got for video. For some reason, my encoding doesn't start. I have the latest ffdshow with all video decoder config set as needed.

Do we still need fixcpli with .21?

There is also a new TsMuxer 1.8.22 with new gui !!!

i have found a bug. its on the extended version of King Kong. i dont think anyone has mentioned it yet.

using the latest version, 0.20.02, the extended version doesn't play. at all. might be some sort of rebuilding/bd-structure mishap. theatrical version plays perfectly, as does bd-live. the extended version plays on the orignal rip on my hdd, so do the picture-in-picture extras. but in the bd-rb rip, these dont work. the counter goes to 0:00:00 and stays there. i am playing the bd .iso files in the latest powerdvd 8.

everything on the original rip is progressive VC-1. it is a multiple file playlist. not sure what else i can provide. here are my files. fyi, i did a fast encode, and i had to abort it and resume it.

also, i tried with and without Quick Encode Extras to see if there was a problem there. but the same result. just when it should play the extended movie, it stops working.

i started troubleshooting by looking to see if all the files that are in the original rip are in the shrunken one, which they are. 414 files in both. then i looked into BDedit to see if i could spot some differences to see where the mishap in the structure is. i think i found something. not knowledgeable enough in this stuff to know for sure.

the one on the right is the original rip of the extended edition playlist, the one on the left is the BD-RB rip of the same playlist. as you can see, there are differences in the IN Time and OUT Time of the Playlist and PlaylistMark headings. not sure if they are supposed to be different.

and just for clarification, there are two menus on the BD. one is for the theatrical version, one for the extended version. you can only play the extended version, from the correct main menu. and you can switch back and forth between the theatrical edition menu, and the extended edition menu.

as of right now, i am making another rip, this time including all audio and subtitles to see if it makes any difference.

[Capsbackup]

Looks like the " CorrectMPLS() 00009 5" problem on rebuild was corrected with the new version BD-RBV02003, but a new issue has developed. The burned disc does play, but I now hear a "seeking/cycling" sound from my Sony BDP-BX1 while playing, as if it is struggling to play. So if I try to fast forward the player freezes for several seconds, and if I change chapters, the same happens but then the player does not recover from the still image/freeze. I then have to press stop just to get the player to respond.
This was a full movie backup to BD-5, resize to 720P, default audio re-encode to 448kbps on Nights In Rodanthe.

[jdobbs]

according to this site http://www.blu-ray.com/faq/
max bitrate for blu-ray is 40 mbps but for unknown reason BD-RD uses only 25MbpsI understand it is the maximum for the profile. The limitation isn't really the spec -- but the spin speed of a BD-5/9 disc and the combination of video/audio/PGS/muxing overhead. You should be right on the edge, and if a couple of HD audio streams are kept, you can go over. I just like to keep it safe.

Do we still need fixcpli with .21? I just tested .22 and it is still needed. The packet count issue seems to be corrected, but the COARSE tables still aren't being updated for SPN rollover.

[Edit] I've noticed, though, that if someone uses splitting in TSMUXER the packet count issue is still there.

[laserfan]

The 25000 is too high (in MHO) -- I use 17500 for BD-5/9 and 25000 for BD-25, but that wouldn't make a difference. The --nal-hrd I'll have to check out.Not to re-hash an old argument, and I don't think this has anything to do with "stuttering playback", but the "25000 vs. 17500" question may have something to do also with booktype of the BD-5/9. I have learned for example that in making an HD-DVD you have to burn as booktype DVD+R or DVD+R DL, because if the booktype is DVD-ROM the player thinks it can spin only at 1x. If burned as DVD+R instead, it can spin at 3x. I have a Pioneer burner which can't do anything but booktype DVD-ROM with a DVD+R DL, and I *think* I've burned a BD-9 on that burner, so maybe this "rule of HD DVD" does not apply to BD, or perhaps it's just that my player doesn't care, but there you go--another variable in the equation.

I suppose tho if some folks are burning BD-5/9 as booktype DVD-ROM, and their SAP plays it but refuses to spin at >1x, this could cause stops & starts huh.

P.S. I've used 25000/25000 and then 17500/14745 and now the other day I encountered "buffer underflows" in x264 for the first time. Changing to 25000 fixed that and I'm going to leave it there as at least my player works great w/25000/25000.

[jdobbs]

@rmeyers

The BDEdit displays you are showing are correct. TSMUXER uses a fixed PTS starting value (00:10:00.000) that may be (and usually is) different than the original. Most commercial discs use a value of 00:00:11.650. BD Rebuilder updates the CLPI and MPLS so the values match the new PTS values. The fact that it shows in the tables of BDEdit is just proof that they have been correctly updated. The alternative is to scan through the M2TS and change all the clock values, but it takes too much time that way, and you reach the same result either way. You just have to make sure the M2TS and CLPI/MPLS combinations match.

Actually BD Rebuilder does do the scan/correction of DTS/PTS and other clock values in the M2TS stream for certain types of files, but they are typically much smaller.

[laserfan]

TSMUXER uses a different time base. BD-RB updates the MPLS/CLPI to correct for it. This is ok.I noticed a couple times with BDEdit that the "entry point" for movie-only discs was 10 minutes!? Since the discs play and report run-time accurately I paid no mind to this--I wonder if it's a tsMuxeR bug...

Oh, my--you were typing the answer as I was typing my question! :o

[smnckl]

@jdobbs

I am thinking of getting the "The Red Baron" imported from Europe. It is distributed by Warner and has VC-1 video and DTS 5.1 audio. I have been informed that it is 24 fps.

From what I have seen, BD-RB re-encodes the video at 23.976 but the audio is either pass-through for DTS or transcoded to AC3 without framerate conversion. This would cause a video/audio sync problem.

Is it possible to have a switch to set the video stream framerate (as is found in tsMuxeR) at other than 23.976 in order to keep audio/video sync in the re-built copy?

Alternatively, as was suggested/requested earlier in this thread, the possibility of being able to edit the meta file produced by BD-RB before the re-encoding process starts.

Thanks for looking at this, and also a BIG :thanks: for the app.

[Edit] My standalone is a Sony S350 which can handle 24 fps material too.

dos aften windows comes up says can't open avi file with the avs script name , frustrating What happens if you try to open the AVS with Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? If the error is there, it should display it (or play back the audio). Chances are it is a 7.1 source, which can't be handled yet. I may be able to convert it to 5.1 with AVISYNTH if NicAudio() supports it...

[smnckl]

It should use the same framerate as the original -- but frankly I haven't tested it with a 24fps source (I don't have one).

I think that is one of the issues here -- all(?) BD discs sold in the US are 23.976 fps.

I do not know whether NicAudio() has an option to stretch the audio timeline but have seen that eac3to has the "-slowdown" parameter to stretch 25.000/24.000 to 23.976.

Maybe someone from Europe who uses BD-RB has some material that is at 24 fps and could help with a sample? Just hoping. :)

Thanks.

[rmeyers]

Chances are it is a 7.1 source, which can't be handled yet. I may be able to convert it to 5.1 with AVISYNTH if NicAudio() supports it...

the author of eac3to says "The libav/ffmpeg TrueHD decoder works perfectly fine including full 7.1 decoding." but also, "The libav/ffmpeg (E-)AC3 and DTS decoders are both limited to 5.1. Furthermore the DTS decoder ignores the additional DTS-HD information."

Thanks.If it plays back at the original rate, you don't have to stretch the audio.

[jdobbs]

Furthermore the DTS decoder ignores the additional DTS-HD information." But that doesn't mean NicAudio() will decode it, nor does it mean WAVI.EXE will convert it or that AFTEN will encode it.

I'll look around for a 7.1 source (I have to have one somewhere) and I'll play with it. If there is a way for me to recognize it easily and NicAudio() can decode it, I can separate the channels in AVISYNTH and remux them to 5.1.

[rmeyers]

true, but what i was implying was that maybe you could try decoding it through the MLP libav codec, since ffdshow is required to use BD-RB. but im guessing you want to use the same audio decoder for all audio. would be much easier.

[jdobbs]

Ahh... understood.

[smnckl]

If it plays back at the original rate, you don't have to stretch the audio.

It would not be a problem with playback on my standalone.

Thanks for taking the time for this.

[jdobbs]

However, the BD-RB backups re-encode to 23.976 No. They don't. They reencode and remux at the rate of the original. The example you posted just means that the original on that source was 23.976. If you had used a 24fps source it would have said "fps=24".

[rmeyers]

oh, i forgot to report on this stupid king kong disc. did a full backup will extras encoded quickly. all audio and all subs included, so basically it just re-encoding the audio and video and putting it back together. but still, the extended edition doesnt play. definitely a structure error somewhere. what else can i provided? bdinfo outputs? anything?

Tried to backup "Into the Wild" on a BD25.

Plays fine with my PC, my Samsung BD-P1400, and no picture on my Panasonic BD35 (sound is good though).
Used v0.20.03, High Quality, Stricter AVCHD compliance, and Trellis Algorithm. Looks like I still have trouble with VC1 encoded video streams...

I may change "Stricter AVCHD compliance" to include the 8.3 filenames and Level 4.0 (instead of 4.1) just to see if it has an impact.

@Jdobbs,

I would like to try this changed option to see if it gets rid of my very slight video stutter (looks just like a frame or two is missing at regular intervals) when a movie only mode is played back on my Panny BD30 and BD35 SAP's but does not happen when RipBot264 is used.

Thanks ;)

Just ask if user is playing NTSC content on PAL SAP or PAL content on NTSC-only stand-alone-player. I'd suggest further bug-reportst to include region version of the player... and in such strange cases I'd doubt complainer has an original disc :) to "test" with.

The same happened with the latest version of BD_Rebuilder as you supply it and also with an updared x264.exe from their website.

Hope you can solve this for me!

No. They don't. They reencode and remux at the rate of the original. The example you posted just means that the original on that source was 23.976. If you had used a 24fps source it would have said "fps=24".

As the author you know that of course. I just add some proof to this.

"Baader Meinhof Komplex", a german made movie has 23.976 fps and 25 fps on the extras and the main movie is 24 fps

The Mux Meta files look like this, for example:
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00014.AVS.264", fps=25, insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00014.track_4352.AC3", lang=deu

What happens if you try to open the AVS with Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic? If the error is there, it should display it (or play back the audio). Chances are it is a 7.1 source, which can't be handled yet. I may be able to convert it to 5.1 with AVISYNTH if NicAudio() supports it...

Or, just take your grubby mitts off the audio and leave us with 7.1 untouched, only as a temporary workaround of couse :devil:

[Furiousflea]

Just ask if user is playing NTSC content on PAL SAP or PAL content on NTSC-only stand-alone-player. I'd suggest further bug-reportst to include region version of the player... and in such strange cases I'd doubt complainer has an original disc :) to "test" with.

I don't think there is a difference between PAL\NTSC in HD world? Only so far as some discs being region coded but that's not going to have a bearing here?

(note the ? marks as I don't know either but that was my understanding(?))

Bye I don't get it. I assume this is one of the extras? It looks fine to me. Can you send me all the CLPI files for that disc (zipped)? dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com


[EDIT] Rereading you post... I guess what you were doing was confirming what I was saying? Right?

[smnckl]

The light is slowly coming on for me. My bad!
I had assumed that because all the backups I had done were at 23.976, that BD-RB was set to re-encode all movies to that.

Thanks for clearing up the misconception I had.

I too guess he was trying to confirm what you had stated in response to my posting.
However, Chefkoch_ico's description of his BD contents

"Baader Meinhof Komplex", a german made movie has 23.976 fps and 25 fps on the extras and the main movie is 24 fps

and his META contents

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00014.AVS.264", fps=25, insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00014.track_4352.AC3", lang=deu

don't jive.

Being someone who is just dipping his toes in this deep pool of knowledge, I am confused. I hope I am not muddying the waters. :( :D

[Chefkoch_ico]

OMG, I confused more than wanted to help.

Yes, it was just to confirm what jdobbs already wrote.

So all is great with fps

Just examples:
Main movie
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00006.AVS.264", fps=24, insertSEI, contSPS
A_DTS, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00006.track_4352.DTS", lang=deu
A_AC3, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00006.track_4353.AC3", lang=deu
A_AC3, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00006.track_4354.AC3", lang=deu
S_HDMV/PGS, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00006.track_4608.sup", fps=24, lang=deu


Bonus #1
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00004.AVS.264", fps=25, insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00004.track_4352.AC3", lang=deu


Bonus #2
MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\VID_00018.AVS.264", fps=23.976, insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "D:\_BD_REBUILDER_TEMP\WORKFILES\00018.track_4352.AC3", lang=deu


Although I have not tried the finished disc (yet).

Bye

[smnckl]

OMG, I confused more than wanted to help.

And I was asking for help with Der Rote Baron! :devil:

Yes, it was just to confirm what jdobbs already wrote.

I thought so... but the little :devil: on my shoulder made me stir it up more. :D

Thanks for the clarification. I'll get on topic before I get struck.

[rmeyers]

easiest way to check fps, is to do a BDInfo scan of your bd folder. it shows the fps of every playlist/stream.

[pacificdune]

Having a problem with encoding speed. When I originally started using BD rebuilder I was getting 25-30 FPS and all 4 cores on my Q9450 were at 100% load. Now I'm only getting one core at 100% load. Any idea how I can get back to 4 threaded operation?

Probably a simple setting, but I'm stumped.

Thanks!

PD

[Furiousflea]

No. :sly:
