BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

The Menus generated by Quick Play should be AVCHD compatible... but I'm not sure when I tested it last. I'll do some testing to see what's up. But I can say that newer Sony players will give that error if strict AVCHD is turned off. Are you positive it was on when you did the encode?

Look at the structure of the disc. It shouldn't contain any of these:

BDMV\AUXDATA
BDMV\BDJO
BDMV\JAR
BDMV\META
CERTIFICATE

If it does -- it will not be interpreted as AVCHD by a newer Sony player.

[omegaman7]

Indeed. My brothers PS3, wouldn't even a load an AVCHD disc, unless it was STRICT output.

Strict AVCHD is definitely turned on, but it the output contains AUXDATA, BDJO, JAR, META and CERTIFICATE.

I'll try deleting those folders and doing another burn test.

[jdobbs]

Hmm... while the menus I create are AVCHD, I'd forgotten that AVCHD is only applied on movie-only backups. So selecting a full backup to BD-5/BD-9 assumes your player has the ability to play BD format on DVD-5/9. Newer Sony's won't do that.

I'll look at it and see if maybe I can make special processing procedures when Quick-Play is enabled that would allow reauthored full backups to BD-5/9.

[jdobbs]

Strict AVCHD is definitely turned on, but it the output contains AUXDATA, BDJO, JAR, META and CERTIFICATE.

I'll try deleting those folders and doing another burn test.It might work... but my guess would be that the version headers in the MovieObject, MPLS, CLPI, etc. files will cause an issue.

[DoctorM]

Burn tested with only: BACKUP, CLIPINF, PLAYLIST, STREAM, and the two .bdmv files. It still won't play.
I'll sit tight and see what you come up with, jdobbs.

[AmigaFuture]

I've been checking the IVTC from IVTC_SELECTION=1 and IVTC_480i=1 a bit more with MPEG-2 1080i's and most of them are rerendered very well. It seems that sample I gave you a link for is a bit rare. Hmm.. More testing. Again, thanks a BUNCH for making it possible TO rerender them using Alternate. Even if that bit that I found is encountered again..it's not a huge deal. I just thought you might like to know. :) I'll admit, I've been checking trying different AviSynth plugins...and, wow...it's still a bit of a learning curve for me.

It is really meant for hard-telecined sources. It is faster/better to do IVTC on soft-telecined sources without IVTC_480i.

[AmigaFuture]

Yup, I've noticed that. Really "ugly" outcome, haha! I also enjoyed that in the comment of the description. I've not been able to get the 1 uncombed frame be combed without leftover frames. I've even tried variations of the Hidden Options as well as other AviSynth plugins. IVTC_480i and IVTC_SELECTION=1 are the only combination that seems to do the job the best. Did you have a look at the file? Okay if not; I understand it's not your job. :) Any tips, if so? Meanwhile, I'll keep testing and if I find a solution or something, I'll share.

[AmigaFuture]

I'll come back to that soon... This I noticed while doing those tests..but here's a recent capture.

I switched to CRF since it's "quicker" than 2-pass but same with 2-pass as I suspected logically.

VID00018 is MPEG-2, 480i, 29.97fps, 4.69 GB, PCM audio.

Found a workaround:
1) quit BD-RB
2) deleted original VID_00018.d2v (0 bytes)
3) ran DGINDEX.exe in BD-RB's Tools directory
4) opened 00018.mpv (i.e. demuxed video in WORKFILES dir) in DGINDEX and indexed the file
5) saved new index file to WORKFILES directory as VID_00018.d2v
6) ran BD-RB, clicked Encode and chose Resume? > Yes

edit: Turns out I have to do the workaround for every 480i file on this disc, and there are quite a few of them.

[Lathe]

I'll admit, I've been checking trying different AviSynth plugins...and, wow...it's still a bit of a learning curve for me.

Heh, yeah, that can become quite addicting :)

I had a REALLY tough source here a while back. The Uk version of the old Teleseries 'War of the Worlds' (Not either film) and the source was a VERY odd interlaced source that the native deinterlacer in BDMV either wouldn't read or couldn't fix, I don't remember. I tried several standard AVS deinterlacers and none of them worked.

Finally, I stumbled on this one. DON'T ask me to explain it (you or JD would likely know 'Why' better) But it did a VERY nice job on it.

It's called this: Field De-Interlace.avs

And here is the script:

DirectShowSource("G:\War.Of.The.Worlds.S2E10.The.Defector.mkv",fps=29.970)
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\decomb.dll")
FieldDeinterlace()

I'm certainly no AVS expert, but thankfully this worked really well. I did some reading about WHY the source may have been so troublesome and I THINK I remember it had to do with the possibility of an interlaced source being encoded improperly in a progressive way, but I'm not sure.

Hope this helps...

[jdobbs]

That one is in BD-RB. In fact it is the default if you select DEINTERLACE from the SETUP menu. BD-RB uses a newer version of decomb (decomb521.dll).

Hmmm, I must have done it wrong, OR much more likely it could have been something else funky with the file I was using that may have caused BDRB either not to recognize it or to be able to process it. I THINK it might have been something about the frame rate; if I remember, it might have been because the actual frame rate was the 29.xx, but it was encoded progressively. Something weird like that I think.

Sorry...

I'm only testing so I'm using low quality settings. If I use MeGUI_2507_x86 and have it analyze with DGDecNV (Which then displays for MeGUI what to use), and then processes the video at 720p 23.976 is the result. Looks and sounds good. So, I copied:

LoadPlugin("F:\Downloads 2014\!August\MeGUI_2507_x86\tools\avisynth_plugin\TIVTC.dll")
TDecimate(cycleR=3)

For BD-RB AVS Filter Editor. For Full Backup and Alternate MKV tests. That failure happens each time. I'm confused. Is this a bug or does BD-RB not rerender 720p 59.940fps to 720p 23.976?

Thanks.

[jdobbs]

You can't change a source's framerate outside of BD-RB (as decimating would do). But I'll run a 59.94fps and see if it has issues.

[AmigaFuture]

Appreciation. :)

Appreciation. :)I just tested reencoding a 59.94fps source, and it works correctly. I have to assume the issue is in the usage of the AVS filter or with the source.

[Edit] I also ran tDecimate(cycleR=3) with the source -- and had no issues there either. Although, as I mentioned, the framerate was incorrect (because you aren't allowed to use a filter that changes the framerate in BD-RB).

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the most recent update to BD-RB (v0.50.01). Changes for this release:- Corrected an issue in which a source that
contains empty PGS streams could cause a
failure when muxing to MKV files.
- Corrected a problem where encodes of stereo
AC3 was using 192Kbs rather than 224Kbs.
- Corrected an error that could cause encode
failure in CreateAVS() when an MPEG2 source
is encountered while using X264/LAVF mode.
- Corrected an issue in which two pass target
mode, under the ALTERNATE encoding method,
did not properly account for the size of
intact audio.
- Fixed an issue in which 480i sources may
fail to be reencoded when IVTC_480i is set
on a source that is already small enough to
meet size criteria.
- Updated x265 version to the daily release
for 11/25/2014.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Funny wee bug, this one. BD-RB tried to find 00001.track_4114.mvc in WORKFILES but no such file exists. What does exist in WORKFILES:

00000.track_4113.264
00000.track_4352.ac3

MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta
VID_00000.AVS
VID_00000.CHP
VID_00009.AVS

For some reason the missing MVC file was named 00000.track_4114 instead of 00001.track_4114.

Workaround: I simply renamed the MVC file in WORKFILES, restarted backup job and let BD-RB resume.

edit: Haaaaangggg oooon.... Something went wrong here. The ISO file has a size of 31.5GB, so BD-RB did not re-encode it. Perhaps this was because I've got Custom Target Size selected in Output Options. I'll set it for BD-25 and try again.

... tsmuxer crashed.

Job finished OK but BD-RB created a folder and a Blu-ray directory structure with mux-in .m2ts when it was supposed to create an .ISO file. I even have "OUTPUT_3D_ISO=1" in BDREBUILDER.INI.

[jdobbs]

From the changes log:

- Due to the changes in the way 3D is handled,
BD-RB no longer outputs to ISO by default on
movie-only 3D encodes. It can be enabled by
using the OUTPUT_3D_ISO hidden option. Note:
This option only applies to movie-only 3D
encodes. (v0.47.03)I'll add something to the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file as well.

[AmigaFuture]

Ahhhh... I found the reason for 720p 59.94fps failing.. I have MULTIPROCESS=4 (or 1) active almost all the time and didn't even consider it. Once I switched it to "0"...now it functions well. As does Alternate MKV 1080 - Keep Audio Intact for resizing. While keeping IVTC_SELECTION=1 to choose "Inverse Ielecine". with a right-click. When using 2-pass. Seems I found a bug..? Updated and tested with 50.01. More testing..

Although, as I mentioned, the framerate was incorrect (because you aren't allowed to use a filter that changes the framerate in BD-RB).

This...I got, finally. :) Thanks.

[omegaman7]

I must admit, I think MULTIPROCESS=4 is a bit high. But then, that certainly depends on the processor in question ;)

[AmigaFuture]

I was using 3 or 1 for a bit. But the system lag isn't so bad for some things, and overnight..or when I'm away for whatever duration. So, using all 4 cores isn't a big deal to me and the lag it can cause. :)

[omegaman7]

I have a six core, and during the 2nd pass, it utilizes what windows thinks to be 99 - 100% potential. And yet, I can still multitask, almost seamlessly. I think what MULTIPROCESS was intended for, was to use free threads/cycles. Not exactly cores. Essentially, any unused potential, could be used. And numerically, 1, 2, 3, 4... depending on the processor, tweaks the potential. If you had a 16 core processor for instance, you'd want a fairly high number. I don't think a quad would benefit from higher than 3. I believe I experimented with the late 940, and 965 phenom. I haven't played with it since I've been using my 1090t :S

[AmigaFuture]

@JD

Would you please check that Inverse Telecine Choice is being kept for IVTC_SELECTION=1?? I Right Click to select Inverse Telecine, then Add to Batch..it isn't being used. Thanks.

@omega

Yes, Windows is able to multitask (not you) well (ignoring that it isn't a True multi-tasking OS) that way.. I've disabled Hyper Threading for my Motherboard, which speeds everything (What was the point, Intel?). Not that I'm some kind of speed whore...hah! It also depends on the speed of the drives...which is why I have an SSD (more access than speed). I'm staying with my i7 930...it does Very well. Yes, I know you weren't trying to convince me of upgrading. :) Yet, I seem to recall JD commenting about Cores with MP. Am I recalling incorrectly? I've seen the differences between 3 and 4, with mine and..though not massive, pretty sweet. :)

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.You can still choose SETTINGS/OUTPUT OPTIONS/WRITE TO ISO FILE. That will put it to an ISO, but it will still use the same 3D format BD-RB utilizes for full-backups.

You mean 3D in-mux, and not SSIF?Exactly.

[colinhunt]

Exactly.
Okey-dokey, good to know. Thanks.

BTW, I tried to re-do Deepsea Challenge 3D (movie-only) on v0.50.01 and got the same result as described on previous page. BD-RB decided not to re-encode even though there was much more data than fits on a BD25, and looked for an .MVC file that does not exist in WORKFILES.

edit: The issue is not limited to Deepsea Challenge.

Hi All,

I'm having problems importing an MKV where the video resolution has been cropped, say to 1920 x 800 for a 2.4 aspect ratio, then trying to build an AVCHD BD-9 from it.

With MULTIPROCESS enabled, the final M2TS video is not resized and has the same 1920 x 800 resolution as the MKV. After burning to a DVD-9, my Blu-ray player handles this non-standard size by stretching the image vertically which isn't pretty.

Looking in the WORKFILES, BDRB appears to be trying to resize the video. Both 00000V.ADJ and VID_00000.AVS include '.AddBorders(0,140,0,140)' instructions. This is also present in the MKV pseudo-BD PINFO.INF file.

Now if I repeat the backup for the same MKV with identical configuration but disable MULTIPROCESS, BRDB seems to be using exactly the same AddBorders instructions, adding them to the PINFO.INF, 00000V.ADJ and VID_00000.AVS files. But this time the resize does work, and the resulting M2TS has the correct resolution of 1920x1080.

This is easily reproducible and occurs for any MKV which has been cropped (if the MKV resolution is 1920x1080 then it does work with MULTIPROCESS). Obviously I appreciate there is a workaround, but I really want to avoid having to disable MULTIPROCESS unless there is absolutely no alternative. Doing so makes the backups much slower since it reduces the frame-rate by more than half...

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks,
Neal

I don't know if this is directly related, but there have been numerous times where trying to do the exact same thing (but without the MULTIPROCESS) where I too have seen the same PINFO & AVS files showing that it SHOULD resize a cropped video, and the add borders instructions ARE there, but also for me the resulting file is NOT resized and my OPPO player handles a cropped source the same way in stretching it to fit a proper AR as a Blu-ray should be.

I've never known why the 'add borders' although being there, never seemed to work. So, what I have done when I do need to do that is simply include it in the AVS as script and then it does it. Again, I almost always have used the internal LAVF frame server.

*** ADDITIONALLY

I wanted to add too that with the new build, now BDRB properly processes the MPEG-2 extras just fine with no errors! :) Funny, I don't know if you have also improved or tweaked something, but when these extras encode they seem to go a LOT faster than before. I think I'm getting average fps rates of like 460+! I don't remember ever seeing it go that fast before. I usually do have it set on 'Faster encode for extras' and I have the extras CRF set at 25, but even still, I don't think it has ever gone that fast. I don't know what you did, but it sure is nice!

@Lathe

I assume you are talking about the size after reencoding, right? The import doesn't do any resizing, it just creates the pseudo-BD source and the pinfo file that tells BD-RB what needs to be done in the reencode.

@nmcdonne

I'll try an import from MKV with multiprocess set today.

NealOk. I found this and fixed it for the next release. I'd apparently not tested the combination of Directshowsource, MULTIPROCESS, and PINFO when it was implemented. It's been there for quite some time -- I'm surprised it wasn't reported earlier.

Hmmm, interesting... Yes, I was indeed talking about after the encode, that the resizing did not take place although the PINFO showed the 'add borders(0,140 0,140)' for example.

But, what is weird though is that I am NOT using MULTIPROCESS; it is not in the config file... but, I AM using Directshowsource because I use the internal LAVF frame server, right? Oh, wait a minute. I think that you said that any resizing was handled by the installation of either / or / both of the haali, FFDShow & the additional new LAV filters installation.

I think I am confused... :confused:

I think I am confused... :confused:If you selected X264/LAVF and have a source that included PINFO information -- then DirectshowSource has to be used rather than LAVF (since the AddBorders filter is associated with AVISYNTH). I'll do some testing with X264/LAVF and PINFO and make sure that it is doing it properly.

hi there,
regardless of which selection i choose in the stream-dialog, bd-rb (latest version) demuxes all subtitlestreams (in movie only mode) and the encoding bitrate stays the same. I tried different options in the setings-dialog - no change. I can't remember that this was happened in older bd-rb versions. What's the matter?
