BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Tenker]

@jdobbs

I find your software super :thanks:
and want for converting video files into one * .H264 fixed bit rate of
- 10000 kbps avg Bitrate
- and without creating the BD structure

So I need at the end of the conversion ONLY * .H264 file.

Can I edit something to achieve this?

Thank you and best regards
tenker

FOUND (http://club.myce.com/f32/bd-rebuilder-guide-conversion-blu-ray-other-formats-326975/) -> but how do I change the bit rate to 10000 kbps?

Still, I have a question.
When set
° "Automatically crop black borders"
My video was cut to 1920 x 600 instead of 1920 x 800th
How to manually change the setting so that the result of 1920 x 800?

Thank you and best regards

But jdobbs write
"If you installed HAALI/FFDSHOW< Setup VC-1 decoding in the same way you did MPEG-2 in step 2B. For Vista or Windows 7+ using "Video Decoder Configuration" -- select "wmv9".
So for win7 i must set VC1 "libavcodec" like a mpeg2 or wm9 ?
THANKS
Set VC1 to wmv9!

Do not use "Automatically crop black borders" if it does not work for you.
Use this one in the avs filter editor and the job is done, but please make sure your source does not have an alternate aspect ratio like e.g. Interstellar, otherwise you will cut off the video where you do not want to.
Crop(0, 140, -0, -140)

P.S.
and do not forget to delete from the avs editor after the encode is complete otherwise you will cut off your future encodes as well....

[MrVideo]

Dbut please make sure your source does not have an alternate aspect ratio like e.g. Interstellar, otherwise you will cut off the video where you do not want to.

In case this is mis-understood, this mostly applies to movies specifically released for IMAX, where a portion of the movie is shot with IMAX aspect ratio equipment and that IMAX aspect ratio is kept in the IMAX Blu-ray edition.

A little off topic, but IMHO, IMAX is not really IMAX anymore. When they were projecting 70mm-15perf, the perceived pixel width was in the order of 12K. The digital projectors are only 4K. They should be at least 8K. That still presents an issue since the highest digital cameras used for movie recording is 6K (Gods of Egypt).

There are times when I am watching an IMAX movie at an IMAX theater, I can see the pixels. And I do not sit close to the screen. Some of you reading this might not know that IMAX screens used to be larger. I call today's IMAX screens, minIMAX. :D

[gamete]

Set VC1 to wmv9!



Ok thanks

Mpe2 is correct in libavcodec ?

[varekai]

Yes, correct!

Hi,
I'm quite new around here, but I played a little bit with BD Rebuilder lately, and stumbled across some oddities, which I can't classify if they are bugs, or by design...

First:
Different Backup Modes use completely different parameter sets.

What do do I mean?
If I select Movie-Only Backup, then the DTS tracks are reencoded although the DTS_REENCODE=0 option is set.
If I select Movie&Menus, then the algorithm which is controlled by the MIN_M2TS_SIZE option is not triggered at all. It looks like if the option was set to MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0.

Another very odd thing about Backup-Modes is, that the mode is not saved with a project (.epr file): If I set up a project as full backup, save it, change the backup mode to Movie&Menus and reload the saved project, then the resulting selection list is a complete mess.

Has anyone an idea what can cause this?:

That specific part is what I come across when I try using TSMuxer on a file where if you carefully check the FPS of the Video track, it usually shows a weird number like '90,000' FPS. When that happens, I click the dropdown menu for the Video track and 'change FPS' to what it SHOULD be (24000-0001, etc)

I don't know if that applies to the rip you have...

As mentioned, the minIMAX screen are not a large. It was nice when they were really big.

Can anyone doing full disc 3d bd25 backups using an i7 6700k (and perhaps even a maximus viii formula MB) send me a pm with their preferred sw_decoder/encoder settings if they've experimented with the different ones (for Intel quicksync!). I'm building a new system to replace my old q9550 one. I know some had problems with visual artifacts on certain settings, and I've never had a core ix system.

Please PM's only. Don't want to drag this question into an off topic discussion.

Any chance you can start a thread/discussion?

I'm about to upgrade my older system (at least mother board, cpu, and memory... upgraded video to GTX970 already).. So I'd be curious of any issues to look out for, tips, etc.

[Ch3vr0n]

I'd be happy to help you pick parts for a certain budget and fit for your specific use. I start with defining what my system use will be, the peripherals and budget and go from there.

[worknstiff]

@Mark_Venture RE: Any chance you can start a thread/discussion?

I second that recommendation. I wish Ch3vr0n & jdobbs would get together on that thread and give us some suggestions on how to get quicksync to work properly on 3D.

[Ch3vr0n]

I already contacted jdobbs about that, his quicksync capabilities are limited. Only 1 older generation quicksync capable system. I will be doing extensive testing and monitoring the result for artifacts and report back. Though that will be a little while longer. Some parts are on back order and the chassis will be undergoing custom airbrush.

@jdobbs
Full backup with 1-pass encoding using CRF prediction and "Quicker encode for Extras".
For some short clips (marked with an asteriks) I get a very long CRF prediction sequence, like:

.......
- [22:16:01] Extracting A/V streams [VID_01758]
- [22:16:17] Reencoding video [VID_01758]
- Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080
- Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 1'678 frames
- [22:16:17] Performing CRF Prediction...
- Analyzing 14.65 7.83 4.41 2.71 1.85 1.43 1.21 1.11 1.05 1.03 1.01 1.01 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 [1.00]
- [22:19:21] Encoding using constant rate factor.
- Performing size-correcting second pass...
- [22:22:19] Video Encode complete
.......
At the end, the size-correcting second pass produces a reasonably sized result. Just wondering if this is normal, or is there possibly a bug?

Edit:

My conclusion:
The problematic clips are language specific intro clips which consisted predominantly of black backgrounds with few thin white letters (e.g. name of an actor).
The CRF prediction tried to boost the file size to the targeted size, which -- based on the 2% sample frames -- drove the CRF down to 1.00xxx
The size-correction (great!) kicked in because the encode was slightly oversized (the full clip had some "normal" pictures at the end).
Some of these clips were even encoded at crf=1.00xxx without the need for the size-correction kicking in

=> After all, the final result was great and filled the BD25 to 96%, which is just perfect :)

Could the CRF prediction perhaps be stopped once it gets below say 5.0? Anyway, I think this disc is an exception (Bridge of Spies)

[mparade]

Don't know
Try without the secondary audio, see if that works

After I had changed the backup mode from full to movie-only (each of the other settings was kept the same) the encoding process of the main movie completed without any issue. Strange.

Jdobbs might have to look at your issue

[kufo]

In my opinion the outputsize is depending on min m2ts size and the custom output size. Im doning only full backups and in most cases
the output fits perfect on a single layer BD. That means 97 up to 98%.

[jdobbs]

@Sharc

I'll take a look at the prediction algorithm and do some testing. There should never be a time that the same value keeps repeating in the prediction. It should have stopped after the second time it hit the same value. I'm guessing it happened because the value was at the absolute minimum (1.00).

I was just thinking whether we could be fooled by the 2 digits rounding, and in fact it develops like 1.004,1.002,1.0016,1.00151 .... etc.

I don't think that you will see it when the algo starts already with 1.00. It should start with the regular initial CRF value.

I don't think that you will see it when the algo starts already with 1.00. It should start with the regular initial CRF value.

The disc title is BRIDGE OF SPIES.

Settings:
That's the INF file. I would need BDREBUILDER.INI. I have that disc... I'll see if I can repeat it with my existing settings.

I was trying to re-encode an MKV file which had been encoded with 8 B-frames, which my OPPO will not play. So, I just set it to import the MKV file, set it for alternate output MKV, NOT Blu-ray compatible, and at CRF of 20. Because when I've tried this before as I had mentioned previously, the output when Blu-ray compatible, but as an MKV file, for some odd reason my OPPO will distort the video. So, this time I made sure I unchecked the BR comp box, and to be sure I added --bluray compatible=0 as a tweak.

Now, this is just a plain, simple MKV file that needs to be re-encoded, but when I tried to do it, this was the log that I got:

----------------------

Now, this is NOT a Blu-ray structure, so I don't think the 'AnyDVD...' thing applies. But, what was curious is that it says that the wrong x264 version is found...???

Here is the Pseudo PINO file:

[VideoAdjust]
00000=.Addborders(42,0,42,0)
[TextSubs]
00000=ITA_0000_001.SRT,ENG_0000_002.SRT

Can anyone decipher this for me please...?

Thanks!

***EDIT

The original MKV file also was encoded with 9 ref frames, which my OPPO will definitely not play, thus another reason for my re-encoding it.

What I am trying now, and I'm thinking that it SHOULD work, is I just went ahead and skipped the alternate output deal and just did the usual BDMV output. So, during the re-encode the AVS kicked in with this:

#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.50.14
DirectshowSource("C:\_______MEDIA\_BDRB\IMPORTS\MKV\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts", fps=23.976, framecount=115622, audio=false).Addborders(42,0,42,0)
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(24000,1001)

... and it seems to be proceeding just fine. So, I'll just throw it on a DVD as a BD5 on it's own and that will be fine. I was just trying to be kind of 'fancy' and trying to render it as another MKV file (a playable one) that I could just add to others and burn to a BD25, but no biggie...

I AM curious though as to why the alternate output gave me the error it did...???

I was testing something today and noticed that a re-encoded disc where I set it to blank some foreign language subtitles completely removed them.

I thought BDRB only blanked, not stripped tracks on a full movie encode. Did I do something wrong or get a hidden setting off, or is this how it is supposed to work?

From my experience, any titles that are blanked are basically removed and are not included in the re-encode. I don't think that I myself have ever blanked just a sub or audio track; usually I blank a whole segment, like an Xtra...

[DoctorM]

I know audio tracks are blanked not removed, but it seems subtitles are removed completely.

I'm working with Cars 2 and found that with subtitles removed, it messes up the disc.

For example in the Toy Story short, 'No Subtitles' set in the menu actually sets the subtitle track to #4 (Forced English subtitles for Spanish dialog).
The problem is once you've stripped non-English tracks, there IS no track #4 so it defaults to track 1 instead.

In the main movie something similar happens. There are many more subtitles but down near the bottom are subs for two foreign language lines of dialog.
As a result, English SDH will always turn on when you start the movie, even if you explicitly set the subtitles off in the menu.

I think this is a case where keeping all subtitle tracks is just necessary to let the disc work properly.
I wish there was a way to blank subtitle tracks instead of stripping them.

@Lathe
- AnyDVD Remove Short Titles: Incompatible
- X264: Wrong version foundThe "AnyDVD" error always matters. It can make the disc incompatible and it's unpredictable what might happen. The second error means that at some point you've change the version of X264 that is in the TOOLS folder and it is no longer the one that was included with BD-RB.

The references to the removed audio or subtitles are simply redirected to first one that is kept. The actual tracks are removed (as has been instructed in SETUP).
