Verstuurd vanaf mijn Nexus 7 met TapatalkA bug for anything below Win7, yes. But there are still a lot of XP & Vista users out there.. so I gotta' get it fixed.

What would be causing this, or will I just have to live with it?

This has happens to all 3D movies I have used BD Rebuilder on. (Have done over 20 3D full backups of different movies) I encode a Full 3D Backup BD-25 using Auto Settings. I burn it to a Disc or mount the ISO, then when it plays in PowerDVD and I turn 3D on, there are artifacts that appear on the screen for a half of a second, then goes away repeatedly every second throughout. If you turn off 3D, the artifacts go away, then turn 3D back on and the artifacts show again every second. I know it has to do with the shrink process in BD Rebuilder that PowerDVD does not like, because the original ISO or original disc used in PowerDVD the artifacts do not show in 3D mode. I have tried this in two different systems with the same results (Both have higher end NVIDA cards in them). Here is the interesting thing, if I then take the disc and play it in a 3D blu-ray player, or PS3, they play fine in 3D with no issues. So not sure why PowerDVD is not able to render properly on the 3D encode form BD-Rebuilder, but a standalone player renders it fine?

Log file of an example of one I recently did:

This is specific to all software players and also that is very reason Jdobbs doesn't accept bug report if it caused software player decoding.

I have Arcosft TMT 5 and it does same thing. Best solution is to use hardware player.

Hi,

Running BD Rebuilder v0.48.03. I am experiencing audio which is out of sync (late) from the spoken words in video. This has occurred on the last 3 backups I have attempted. I have uninstalled/Reinstalled BD Rebuilder and all the components.

P.S. This is a WIN7 x64 machine-24GB memory
-original rips from makemkv 1.8.11 are in sync
-m2ts created by tsmuxer is in sync on each backup, before BD Rebuilder runs

Ok thanks, I just figured since it only happens after a BD rebuilder encode it would be good to know.

For some odd reason, the Quick-Play backup failed to create a menu. I'm not doing anything fancy or anything that I haven't done many times before, but this time it said that it 'failed to create a menu' which I've never seen before. I'm simply backing up 8 episodes from a show that even in the complete Blu-ray folder only total about 21 Gigs, but there is no menu. There is no need for any re-encoding; just creating a Blu-ray structure with the episodes and creating a menu.

I went back and tried it with version 47.07 (after trying it with the latest version) and it did the exact same thing. I checked that everything is installed and 'OK' and it is. The only other thing I can think of is that it might be because of things that I've added to the ini configuration, but I don't see how they would affect it because I THINK that the settings would only come into play IF any re-encoding is being done, but in this case there isn't any.

Here is my ini file just to be sure; I've added x264 Tweaks and stuff for when I do some movies, but I don't see how that would have anything to do with why a menu was not created. BTW, the ini file is exactly the same in the newer version; I just copied it over like I always do. I got the exact same errors with both versions.

Thank you!

(EDIT) One thing I notice after looking at the ini file, is that it LOOKS like it is calling an older version (4706) for the 'Menu Background', but I just added as SSD drive for my OS and in that particular 'Executable' folder, I DON'T have the older version there any more. I bet you that is it!

I wonder why it is calling for the menu background from an earlier version...??? Perhaps if I put that earlier BDRB version folder in the same folder as the current version, I wonder if THEN it would indeed 'see' whatever it is looking for?

Weird...

(EDIT 2) I added the older version folder to my C:\EXECUTABLES folder where my current version is, but it still did the same thing. I also got 2 error messages which I've added here.

Here is the log, but it basically just says that the menu was not created:

(EDIT 3)

I tried re-installing BDRB directly onto my new SSD drive where my OS and program files are (but in a separate 'Executables' folder on that 'C' drive) I right-clicked the bat file and 'ran as administrator' as you instructed, and I got this error (BDRB error003.gif below)

Just weird stuff...

@Lathe
So is below path for the background picture valid or not?
MENU_BACKGROUND=C:\EXECUTABLES\BD-RBV04706\BD_Rebuilder\misc\menuback.jpg

Check with BD-RB:
Import/Quick-Play Settings
Is the path for the background picture correct?
If so, confirm with Save.

Hmmm, I didn't know you could check that. I did as you suggested and it LOOKS like the path is correct. It appears to be set for the current version along the same path that you mentioned above. Perhaps I should try to run it again.

I wonder why I am getting all these runtime errors....?

Thanks!

I have updated the first link of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.48.04). Changes for this release:- Modified execution so that, even though
HAALI/FFDSHOW are still not required, they
are recommended and the DirectshowSource
filter will still become the default frame
server when they are installed. Also, on
systems using Windows versions earlier than
Win7, some options will be disabled when
HAALI/FFDSHOW are not installed.
- Changed the SETUP dialog so that frame
serving via DirectshowSource can explicitly
be selected.
- Removed FFVideoSource from the BD-RB package
and disabled it as a frame-serving option.
- Made several changes that could enhance BD-RB
stability.
- Corrected an error that could occur when
attempting CRF with FRIMSource selected.
- Removed the DSHOW hidden option, as it is now
automatically recognized and set at runtime.
- Added a new hidden option QUALITY_ULTRA
which defines the X264 encode preset used
when ULTRA-QUALITY is selected.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

3D encoding: FRIMencder stops at frame #1195. No error message, nothing; the CPU just goes idling. The original rip (.ssif) plays fine with stereoscopic player from mounted .iso.
Any idea?

Happens with 0.48.03 and 0.48.04

Happens with 0.48.03 and 0.48.04Has it happened on more than one disc? It could be a bad rip, playback isn't a good test. The code for 3D encoding hasn't changed in quite a while, but I'll do a test of a 3D disc later today.

I have updated the first post with a link to another BD-RB update, v0.48.05. Changes for this release:- Corrected an error in which importing DVD
subtitles with "Import languages limit..."
selected could result in "Runtime Error 9,
subscript out of range".
- Correct an error in which at startup a
popup window will state "FFMS2.DLL missing".
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.I have also modified the v0.48.04 download so it includes these fixes as well.

jdobbs, if I do not want to add another line, the hidden option "ENCODE_QUALITY = 4" still applies to preset slower, correct?

[SuLyMaN]

sorry for OT but I think jdobbs is totally right. Your comparison is not objective colinhunt. The exact same parameters/conditions must be used to test if the software is slower/faster.

[Lathe]

Make another, more permanent, location to store you backgrounds.

Thanks for replying, but I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that I should create another folder for the background image rather than leave it in the default installation 'Misc' folder...?

[Sharc]

Has it happened on more than one disc? It could be a bad rip, playback isn't a good test. The code for 3D encoding hasn't changed in quite a while, but I'll do a test of a 3D disc later today.
I did few more tests. I played the the movie SBS via FRIM's avisynth plugin, and got about 10 garbled farmes just before the position where BD-RB encoding stopped.
Now I see 2 possibilities:-
a. Bad rip
b. "Pacific Rim" effect
Crossing the fingers for a. Will re-rip and post the result.

Edit:
It seems to have been a bad rip. At least the encoding just passed the critial frames ....

[andref4]

Can't use DirectShow as Frame Server in new Version. The line in Setup is grey and can't be changed. :(
BD-Reb will use LAVF but it's slower as DSHOW (for me).

Howe can I reactivate DSHOW? FFDSHOW and HAALI is installed.

At the moment I use old 0.47.07 and 0.48.03 with DSHOW=1 because all other Frame Server are slower on my System as DSHOW.

[jdobbs]

Thanks for replying, but I don't understand what you mean. Do you mean that I should create another folder for the background image rather than leave it in the default installation 'Misc' folder...?You are likely to overwrite or replace the BD Rebuilder folder as versions are released. Just create a folder somewhere else called "BD Backgrounds" so you can always find them when you need them. I created one with that name in the "My Pictures" folder.

I tested it on both 32 and 64 bit systems. Just download them from the first link of this thread and install them again.

[andref4]

they are installed but not the versions from your link. I use the most actual Versions of the two programs from the k-lite codec pack.

is it possible to force/use other versions from ffdshow/haali as yours? If have had no problems in older bd-reb builds to use other ffdshow Version.

Kind regards

[jdobbs]

I'm sorry. But I have made it very clear many times in this thread that I will not accept bug reports for other versions. Other standard releases should still work, but the decision to try them is yours. Another point -- you have to use the standard FFDSHOW and HAALI installer that sets the REGISTRY entries so BD-RB can tell if they are there. My guess is that the CODEC pack doesn't do that.

Other CODEC packs are high risk if you are using BD-RB.

[Sharc]

jdobbs, if I do not want to add another line, the hidden option "ENCODE_QUALITY = 4" still applies to preset slower, correct?
Now I am getting confused by the quality options:
a. For manual quality setting, the hidden option "ENCODE_QUALITY=" is no longer needed in the .ini, because this value is set/overruled via the BD-RB menu Settings/Encoder settings ...., right?
b. For Automatic Quality Settings, I can use the AUTO_BIAS= (1....3) in the .ini to tweak the quality
c. "ULTRA_QUALITY= " is the new hidden option. Is it just a new custom level similar to a. above? Does it overrule a.? I don't see any "ULTRA" selection via the menu ... :confused:

But, for many, many versions now there has been an undocumented hidden capability to manually set it to a setting of 4 (via the editor). That raises the notch to a level that I consider unreasonably slow with little benefit (that's why it is hidden and undocumented). It's referred to as "Ultra" and by default it uses X264's "--preset slower".

All I did recently is add an additional setting (QUALITY_ULTRA) that allows you to change that preset to one of "slower", "very slow", and "placebo".

I added it as a request in the feature request thread -- but it is still my recommendation that it is never used. Since I believe "slower" is uselessly high and slow -- imagine how I feel about two more even slower/higher settings?

All this is unrelated to AUTO_BIAS, as that applies only to the AUTOMATIC settings. ULTRA is never used automatically.

[Sharc]

Thank you for the clarification!

[pididdi]

the first time i noticed this problem was at the main-Movie rip (riped with DVD-Fab) of american hustle and other movies. this are the facts: the label (like Tobis or Dreamworks, etc.) clip (or part) has a longer playtime then it is shown in the main-movie (that has to be proper to the sound and sup streams). So bd-rebuilder just appends the whole label part with the main-movie part of the sup and dts or ac3 streams, but that is not the main-movie clip, that is shown in the output (i use dvd-size output). the main movie only playbacks a view seconds of the label clip (part), but the demuxed sups and soundstreams have a longer playbacktime. I use stax-rip, which makes a better job in these cases (for demuxing) and remux the output of bd-rebuiler with the stax-rip sound- and sup-streams. You must only take a view samples of the label part (clip).

That´s all i have to say folks!:goodpost:

Other CODEC packs are high risk if you are using BD-RB.

I think I found the error. I deinstalled k-lite codec pack to test it with your (old) versions of ffdshow/haali posted on first side. If I install ffdshow/haali in standard Setup folder then I can use ffdshow in 0.48.05. If I change the standard setup folder then bd-rebuilder don't detect ffdshow on my win 7 x64 machine. The line is grey and LAVF is used.
But I must use ffdshow because it's the only Frame Server that worked with cropping black borders on mkv output.

Would be nice if you can re-add the DSHOW=1 line to force dshow with ffdshow. So long I use bd-reb I have had no problems with k-lite codec pack and newest versions of ffdshow/haali that are NOT installed in standard Folder but fully right configured. And the registry settings must be correct if k-lite mega codec pack is installed because if I use your Inspect in 0.48.03 there are all "OK"

P.S Is the only thing to get 0.48.05 with ffdshow to work, is to use your ffdshow version from first side installed in standard setup folder? :(

[jdobbs]

I think I found the error. I deinstalled k-lite codec pack to test it with your (old) versions of ffdshow/haali posted on first side. If I install ffdshow/haali in standard Setup folder then I can use ffdshow in 0.48.05. If I change the standard setup folder then bd-rebuilder don't detect ffdshow on my win 7 x64 machine. The line is grey and LAVF is used.
But I must use ffdshow because it's the only Frame Server that worked with cropping black borders on mkv output.

Would be nice if you can re-add the DSHOW=1 line to force dshow with ffdshow. So long I use bd-reb I have had no problems with k-lite codec pack and newest versions of ffdshow/haali that are NOT installed in standard Folder but fully right configured. And the registry settings must be correct if k-lite mega codec pack is installed because if I use your Inspect in 0.48.03 there are all "OK"

[09.03.14] Systems Settings Check completeI don't now how "isn't recommended version" is ok...

BD-RB doesn't care about FFDSHOW folders or where it is installed. It looks at the registry key (32 bit and 64 bit):

HKLM\Software\GNU\ffdshow
HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\GNU\ffdshow

If it exists... then FFDSHOW is installed correctly. If not, then it isn't.

I just installed the July 2014 (ffdshow_rev4532_20140717_clsid.exe) version of FFDSHOW and it is working fine (although it hasn't been tested and therefore isn't recommended). So the version has no impact (they all set the registry entry). That tells me something else is the issue (not the version) on your system.

[Lathe]

You are likely to overwrite or replace the BD Rebuilder folder as versions are released. Just create a folder somewhere else called "BD Backgrounds" so you can always find them when you need them. I created one with that name in the "My Pictures" folder.

Okay, thanks mate!

[musiclover]

Am I correct in thinking that "convert 4:3 to 16:9" and "Widen 4:3 Viewing" only are working in full backup mode? Because I can't get it to work in alternate movie-only output. If I'm correct in this should it not say so in the video encoding options?

Thank you for an amazing program.

It works for full-backup and movie-only backup modes. But, the size of the output in ALTERNATE mode is determined by the preset. So none of the SETUP resizing settings should affect it.

What I might be able to do is add a mode to the presets that does those conversions.

@ jdobbs

Not to pressure you or anything, but is above modification on your todo list?

v0.48.05 (beta)
Importing a series via BD(s) - Quick Reauthored
While importing the first playlist I am getting at about 8% progress the error:
- Importing Playlist 00800 [01:12:21.670]
[22:49:21]ERROR: Remuxing to BD failed. Aborted.
Playlist 00800 plays fine with any SW player.
Any idea what could be wrong?

P.S.
Note: inspect.exe shows
- BD-RB v0.48.0.5, not current

[jdobbs]

inspect.exe is no longer a part of the package... it is obsolete. Choose it from the menu instead.

I'll do some testing on the import of series BDs... but I suspect there is something wrong with the source since it is dying mid-mux.

[Sharc]

.... I'll do some testing on the import of series BDs... but I suspect there is something wrong with the source since it is dying mid-mux.
I succeeded in making a regular backup of disk 1 of the series, but strange: BD-RB starts demuxing and goes up to about 8%; then happens a kind of "reset" and the demuxing starts again from 0% and goes through the end without error. This silent reset is not visible in the log; just a short refresh (blinking) of BD-RB's Log tab.

When doing the same in BD(s) Quick-Reauthoring mode however, BD-RB throws the error at 8% progress of episode 1 disc 1 and does not reset/recover as in single disc backup mode.
Weird. I will re-rip disc 1 and see if it makes a difference.

Edit:
Seems like re-ripping disc 1 has solved the problem. I had 2 ripping issues recently with a new (faster) drive; never had this before with the old slow drive .... Sorry for having bothered you.

Problems:
1)Despite having choosen LAVF Bd Rebuilder use 32 bit H264 encoder and NOT 64 bit one
2)MULTIPROCESS=1 didn't bring CPU to full use (roughly
60% max an any core).

Any hint please?

[jdobbs]

1. There are times when BD-RB can't use LAVF (e.g. certain resizing operations). In those cases it must use AVISYNTH/32 bit X264.
2. MULTIPROCESS does not apply to LAVF, only DirectshowSource and DGDecNV.

Huge thanks :)
Can Multiprocess be used with Threads is (in my case) at 8?

A little bit OT: can we expect H265 any soon on your program?

[jdobbs]

A little bit OT: can we expect H265 any soon on your program?You generally don't want to set it to the number of threads. Pick a lower number (probably 3 or so) that will get the processor usage close to 100% in Pass 1. That will get the maximum out of the setting. Setting it too high can actually slow things down (especially in Pass 2).

At some point I will support H265 output to MKV. I still need to test it with a newer version of MKVMERGE (that supports it). I need to find a directshow H265 decoder for my system -- any recommendations?

I may add MULTIPROCESS capability for LAVF in the future. But, at least on my system, there isn't a lot of processor headroom left when using LAVF; so I'm not sure the benefit would be that great.

Threads: got it. So I'll quit with 64bit H264 disabling LAVF in order to test Multiprocess.

You meant an H265 decoder (not an H264 as you wrote)?
If so LAVF already supports it.

Run BD-RB last night. Works perfectly here. "Checking System Settings" told me everything is ok.
I did the Region 2 version of Ride Along (MKV 1920x1080 640Kbs DD5.1). It came out as a high quality MKV.
I have looked at the movie on a 40 inch TV, using a Dune Smart H1 media player.

[AmigaFuture]

I'm testing with an almost stock INI. I stopped the reencode process, and entered FORCE_NOENCODE=1 via the Edit Config. After the refresh I select Preview and the screen grab is what was displayed.

Then I exited BD-RB, then reran...and had it preview again. The file is displayed correctly. It has done it a couple times now with the Red Text. I'm attempting note how to get it to show the text again every time..I'll add to this when I get it.

Edit: Hmm....Well, sheooot...I've not been able to get the Red Text to repeat.

Edit 2: Ahhh, got it to repeat! I disabled "Quicker" Encode for Extras...then without FORCE_NOENCODE=X being in the Config, and FFDShow still being in the System Trey after the Aborting when rerendering is happening, I went to Preview and there it is. MKV text is also there. If I exit BD RB, then run it again, preview functions normally.
