BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Furiousflea]

Well I just finished backing up The Scorpion King, NTSC, Full backup, 4.09GB and burned to DVD+RW. Not having much success here and I am not sure what the problem is. Let me clarify - the audio for the main movie just does not play when burned to a DVD+RW, as with previous attempts. The main menu only plays for about 33 seconds before pausing, and when it continues, there is only audio while the video remains a still image at the pause point. I can select the menu buttons for the disc, so all is still functioning. However, after selecting play, the movie starts and the video looks great, just no audio is heard. Also, as with other backup tests reported, I cannot select subtitles from the remote, no pop up or available subtitles are displayed. Same with audio button, no pop up to display other available tracks.
So I burn the same files to a BD-RE disc, and now the audio and subtitles play fine, with the ability to change both audio and subtitle tracks from the remote during playback of the movie.( There is only the 1 eng. AC3 audio file that plays of course, but the button on the remote brings up the options as if there were other tracks available). The menu video still does its pause at the same time interval as the DVD+RW. However, this is not a big concern since I usually press play before the menu loop anyway, but I just wanted to report my findings.
I only have the Sony BDP-BX1 to test with, so I don't know if it is player related or if it could be a BD-RB bug. I use only the default settings, and ImgBurn.
I have made numerous movie only backups, not with BD-RB, and never had a problem.BDP-BX1 plays back movie only perfectly. I hope these tests I have reported can help track down if there is a bug, or if I need to do or change something, I am open to any and all suggestions. I would like to be able to keep the menus and burn to DVD-R or DVD+R DL just like all of those succesful reports I have read!

A DVD+RW\-RW is NOT a good thing to use to make an a assertion that something doesn't work. Lots of standalone players have problems even with normal DVD-Video on them.

I suspect there are lots of Bluray players that are fine with a DVD9 in the bluray format but not with +RW\-RW media.

You shouldn't even be using RW for this sort of thing.

I just updated the first post in this thread with an update. The newest beta is v0.17.12:

- Enabled alternate target sizes in the INI file.
- Corrected the ColorBoost option -- in previous
versions it could cause the AVS to fail.
- Correct an error in which FieldDeinterlace() could
be inserted out-of-order in the AVS file.
- Updated the version of Aften apparently the previous
version released can have issues on
some computers.
- Added a hidden parmeter "MKV_INTERMEDIATE=1" - this
sets the intermediate file format to ".MKV" rather
than ".264". It is meant to support a certain
player that gradually goes out-of-sync (for some
unknown reason).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Chefkoch_ico]

In 0.17.12, was there also something fixed, that caused previously a movie not to start in full backup mode?

I have this problem with The Mummy 3. It starts normally, but when pressing play from the main menu, the screen gets black and nothing happens.

I was using Cyberlink filters but especially on this title, some VC1 m2ts did not decode properly, so i am running now with 0.17.11 the same test again but now with ffdshow.

Not that it was supposed to be fixed but I thought to confirm that the crash (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1228603#post1228603) resulting from different regional settings is present on v0.17.12.

I really like where this tool is heading, and can't wait to play with it more when I get my BD reader back :)

[~bT~]

I did that (changed CODEC to WMV9) in the example posted -- it still didn't play right (blockiness).

same issue here..:confused:

I see your point, well received. Just to rule this out I will try a Verbatim DVD-R. I was not implying the program doesn't work, just my experience and results. Quite the contrary, I am extremely pleased with this program and jdobbs efforts, and quite impressed with it's capabilities. Nowhere have I seen a program capable of complete backups of Blu-Ray discs, let alone free. Another donation is overdo!!

no i haven't done it, totally forgot. I'll do it tomorrow night. Got some BD-RE 50 GB discs coming so i can do more testing. I'll do it tomorrow for sure and let you know.

[mochevolete]

after a whooping 24+ hrs of encoding this morning I found an error caused by aften (from v0.17.11), the error log says: ReencodeAudio() 00006 ,
maybe this will be sorted out by the new version

a couple of questions, do you have any idea why it took so long ? I have a E6400 with 2GB of RAM, the reason could be that the BR folder was on an external USB drive ?

[turbojet]

jdobbs thanks for the mkv_intermediate setting, it fixed my sync issue with mpc(hc).

I tried target_size=4470 on 2 different BD's so far, one came out to be 4506 MB, other came out to 4569 MB both used quick extras setting. I'm retrying without 'quick' now. But I notice that x264 comes very close to its target bitrate. Do you use for something like this for calculating main movie bitrate in quick extras mode: everything except stream directory on BD + extras after they are encoded + main movie bitrate + audio + subs + overhead = TARGET_SIZE?
Is the method different without using quick extras?

[turbojet]

mochevolete it could be the external USB drive, but during x264 encoding the drive should be able to provide enough speed to not be a bottleneck. But it'll be a bottleneck when you demux and mux. What encode speed do you get?

[jdobbs]

Is the method different without using quick extras? When encoding without quick extras a two pass encode is done on all files with a set reduction ratio. When using quick extras a single pass encode is done that uses a standard CRF that should get the size reasonably close (but not exact) as an average. Then when all the smaller files are completed, the remaining space is used to calculate bitrate needed for largest M2TS (main feature).

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I have an issue with "The mummy 3". There are some problematic VC1 files. They play fine from the original disc with AnyDVD in PowerDVD, however, I get artefacts, crashs, or they simple dont play, when playing them (the m2ts) in MPC or via Avisynth.

So the encode also does not work.

I have read somewhere here, that with DGVC1DecNV, these files work. I have not NVidia card, but I plan to buy one.

It would be great if the AVS Scripts are all created at the beginning, so I can change the ones, which have problems to use DGVC1DecNV.

hmm I wonder the issue has something to do with audio or subs overhead. I had first 2 hit target size, well good enough 4369 and 4375 MB, but since I've gotten 4225 MB and 4464 MB with the defualt DVD5 size of 4369 MB. Lots of variance and I can't see anything uncommon between them. The 4225 and 4375 results had ac3 audio, while 4369 and 4464 had DTS audio. All had 3 subtitles except 4375 MB only had 2.

I have copied the folder to the local drive, the encoding is in progress and in this very moment I have a 10,10fps (40% global process)

Just ordered the card. Should get it in 2 days.
@jdobbs:
Would be great, if you could create a version which creates the Video AVS scripts in the beginning or dont overwrite existing AVSscripts, when resume a job (maybe optional)

I would really enjoy, testing this.

I'm in the same boat as you, donated to DVD-RB a few years ago and it looks like another one will be truely deserved for this.

Sorry if I came across a bit coarse about DVD+RW, just my annoying internet manner :) For all I know it might not be a problem, best to rule it out though.

Thanks jdobbs for the update. I've ran my first test now with a custom target size (set to 4475 MB), movie-only, and it came out 4290 MB. I had "Do not convert DTS to AC3" and "Do not reencode to AC3" checked, but nonetheless bd-rb encoded to AC3 from DTS HD Master audio (instead of using the DTS core).

It encoded, yes, because it always does. But which did it use? Post the MUX_nnnnn.META file for the main movie so I can see which track was muxed into the stream.

Sorry, the workfolder has already been overwritten now, since am running another test. But bd-rb used the AC3 that it encoded from the DTS Master HD audio (448 kbps).

can someone advise how to go about encoding interlaced vc1 please..

i want to do a full disc back-up but the 1080i vc1 content in extras is stopping me.

jdobbs, top program along with DVD-RB.

Got a quick question, it's not bug report as such but sort of in that area as I don't think it should be happening.

The setup menu in BD-Rebuilder seems to imply that it is possible to keep the original audio track and mux that back to the encoded video without re-encoding. However I've tried all options and every time when I analyse the output of BD-Rebuilder all my audio tracks are Dolby Digtal encoded at 448kbps.

I understand this might have been your intention? But I would request that you maybe consider leaving the option to the user if they want to re-encode the audio at all or leave it as even DTS-MA audio is well within spec to play back on a BD9 (I understand the spec allows for up to 3x DVD speed = around 30mbit total peak sustained).

I understand you may not want to do this though for compatability sake but I would ask that BD-Rebuilder doesn't just encode all audio streams at 448k. It's even encoding STEREO Dolby Digital tracks at this rate when the original was much lower, a complete waste of space.

Finally I believe the lowest bit rate for audio to be classed as "HD" is 640k Dolby Digital on Blu-Ray, or at least that is what nearly all films are encoded at as a bare minimum.

The difference in space required for a 640k audio track compared to a 448k audio track is minimal, but the difference in quality is actually a fair bit when you are re-encoding a DTS-MA\Lossless audio track for example.

Would really appreciate you chaning the 448k -> 640k and I'm sure others would agree.

Just leaves the STEREO encoding at 448k...Surely this should be 192k? Or even lower?

Many thanks for the great program and hope I didn't come across as a whinging old man. Just think they would be very good things to put in place.

You had my donation for DVD-RB and will definately have it for this, cheers again old boot.

[jdobbs]

can someone advise how to go about encoding interlaced vc1 please..

i want to do a full disc back-up but the 1080i vc1 content in extras is stopping me. If you're using Vista, you can use the standard CODEC (WMV9) to decode (I believe). Just make sure it isn't set to LIBAVCODEC in FFDSHOW.

[jdobbs]

Would really appreciate you chaning the 448k -> 640k and I'm sure others would agree.I personally don't think it is detectable... and that's why I set it to 448k. That extra 192Kbs can make a difference in the video quality. But I'll make 640k an option for the reencoding. As for the "keeping the original" -- it worked in my testing, but I'll check it again.

[jdobbs]

I see what happened with the "Do not reencode" options. If you change them, you have to exit BD-RB and reenter... I didn't reset the flags from the intial scan. I'll see what I can do to fix it, but in the meantime you can make it work by setting it the way you want it, and then exiting BD-RB and restarting. It will keep the settings after that.

[jdobbs]

same issue here..:confused:Has anyone found a cure for the issue of VC-1 interlaced sources? I just ran into it when I tried to backup my copy of "Band of Brothers" -- it has several M2TS files that "block out" when you try to play them on your computer. I'd made the assumption it was protection before we started that discussion. LIBAVCODEC fails and so does WMV9.

[Atak_Snajpera]

BTW. How do you fix audio gaps?

I have written and testet a small batch file, which, if you would run it from within BD-Rebuilder, automatically demuxes video streams, indexes it with for example DGAVCDec and creates the proper AVS entries.

I have sent it to you via mail.

This has 2 benefits:
- to be independend from DirectShow Filters (with no NVidia card, at least MPG2 and AVC dont need DS Filters)
- and to solve the Interlace VC1 problem with DGVC1DecNV (Too bad, NV only, dont know if it works, my card comes in a few days)

I hope this is useful for you, as I really want to get rid of this DirectShow Filter mess. Feel free to use it.

Tested tonight what was going to happen if I crammed 48GB disc into a BD5. I knew this was not going to be good but I had some interesting results.

First of all I had a little oversize.. It ended up 18GB :rolleyes:

Well upon loading the disc I saw that the BR propaganda "extras" had the expected bitrate of ~150kbit. Menu was fine, main movie also with a 8-10Mbit bitrate. Then when I looked at the extras for the movie came the big suprise. Great picture with a whopping 20Mbit peaks.. Only problem was pixelation at scene changes which the BD25 test of the same disc did not have.

Looking at the log most of the segments would have been encoded with a negative bitrate. Also I got an retry error with abort which did not happen when I did the BD25 test.

I'm not sure this has been addressed, but a very nice feature would be "turn off cpu when finished"

Thanks for all your hard work on this program! I am sure this is much needed by many and myself...:)

[KarstenS]

It encoded, yes, because it always does. But which did it use? Post the MUX_nnnnn.META file for the main movie so I can see which track was muxed into the stream.

I can confirm that problem with not encoding sound options. I also did select both and tried "Enchanted" with DTS (german). On this disk, the movie is split in round about 20 files with sizes between 90MB and 7000MB. Nearly 1/3 of the files got DTS muxed (all of them are files with small size). The other 2/3 got the recoded AC3 sound muxed. So I got a main movie with some parts DTS and other parts AC3.

Actually I am not at home. I can post the META files on sunday, if needed. But I already did a look into them. The files says to mux the DTS track where DTS got muxed and says to mux the AC3 track, where the reencoded AC3 got muxed.

but in the meantime you can make it work by setting it the way you want it, and then exiting BD-RB and restarting.

This I already did before reencoding the Disk. No difference.

[BZeeme]

As a test I backed up a 2.5 hour Blu-ray in movie only mode to a DVD-5. Plays well on both Panasonic BD30 and Sony S350. As a torture test I ran the same disc in Full backup mode (still to a DVD-5). Came out a little oversize - 23+ GB. The main m2ts went from 30.1 GB to 19.1 GB. I kept the working files if you need any more info.

[mochevolete]

I purposefully put the target under the max -- as I've had lots of issues with writing to outer edges of DVD+-Rs. I do the same in DVD-RB. I think the amount it is off is what I use to estimate M2TS multiplexing overhead. I was planning to tweak it later.

I guess I'm out of the discussions on audio gaps -- I haven't seen any sync issues on my encodes... when does it happen? Do you mean the possibility of a different PTS in tha audio stream than in the video?

Good luck! You will need it :) Especially for more than 1 audio stream :)

Just tried BD Rebuilder with "Casino Royale" which shipped with my LG drive and everything plays fine. Only the menu has no sound like others have reported, too. So i launched MediaInfo and saw that the Menu is MPEG-2 and has PCM sound which BD Rebuilder is currently not able to copy / re-encode. Is that right or did i just miss something in the settings? Sorry if this has already been answered.

Thanks for this great software!

[jdobbs]

Hmmm... it should... but apparently something I did recently may have had an effect that. I haven't seen any issues personally though. Menu M2TS files have always had the original audio passed through (that's because I found that the sound effects of the BD-J would disappear if I changed it).

[Capsbackup]

Just a follow up to a previous post a few back regarding DVD+RW media possible being the cause of a back-up not playing the audio or subtitles of the main movie for The Scorpion King, full backup. The same results were experienced after burning to Verbatim DVD-R media. I am going to try to either check with some friends to see if they have a Blu-Ray, or try my local Best Buy, to see if this disc will work on any other players other than the Sony BDP-BX1. I am hoping to find out if it is a player issue or something else, since I have had this happen on 3 of my 5 initial full back-up tests.

[wakebrder]

Great Work Jdobbs! Nice to see you on the BD side of things.:)

I just did Sharkwater last night. (MPEG 2 1080i)

Put the disc in my Panasonic DMP-BD35. I get FBI warning, the Warner splash screen. About 2 minutes of black screen with no audio.(that I cannot skip through), and finally the top menu.

I can navigate through the menu, but when I select play movie or a specific scene, I get a quick flash of red screen, then the disc stops.:confused:

I'll give some more discs a shot this weekend. Thanks again!!

Hello,

i`m trying the reencode a PAL movie. I have the following problem.

Rebuilder is saying that the Input BD size is 1400 GB

So wenn i select full backup, Rebuilder is saying target is to small. Wenn I select main movie only it doenst.

Every video title is 4000. When I open a video set I can see which one is the main movie but I don`t think Rebuilder can see it.


Sorry for my bad English. I`m dutch. I`ll post a screen shot later this night to make it a bit more clear.

Hmmm... it should... but apparently something I did recently may have had an effect that. I haven't seen any issues personally though. Menu M2TS files have always had the original audio passed through (that's because I found that the sound effects of the BD-J would disappear if I changed it).

Hmmm...seems like its my bad. I set BD-RB to keep all Audio Tracks and subtitle languages. But LPCM audio is not enabled by default. Kinda makes sense because it is a lot of uncompressed audio data and i could save that space for extra movie quality. I will only enable it for the menu now and see what happens. Will try a new attempt with 0.17.12. See you in 26 hours :-)

I have written and testet a small batch file, which, if you would run it from within BD-Rebuilder, automatically demuxes video streams, indexes it with for example DGAVCDec and creates the proper AVS entries.

I have sent it to you via mail.

This has 2 benefits:
- to be independend from DirectShow Filters (with no NVidia card, at least MPG2 and AVC dont need DS Filters)
- and to solve the Interlace VC1 problem with DGVC1DecNV (Too bad, NV only, dont know if it works, my card comes in a few days)

I hope this is useful for you, as I really want to get rid of this DirectShow Filter mess. Feel free to use it.


I added it here also, if someone can make it better, feel free to modify.

I hope its soon possible to use this script with BD-rebuilder.

Bye

Thanks for your earlier response jdobbs.

Got another little bug\possibly unavoidable.

As I'm sure you're aware most extras are encoded in mpeg2 at 576i\480i. Often these extras contain live action material that is 59.97fps\50fps interlaced. When this is run through BD-Rebuilder it encodes it as MPEG-4 AVC, which is a good thing. But it seems that it deinterlaces and encodes as a progressive 25\29.97fps.

Fine for a lot of stuff but due to the nature of "extras" they are very often intended to be watched at live action video frame rates like with "making of"'s and so on.

Is there anything that can be done about this, maybe encoding extras and leaving them interlaced? Maybe this is simply something that has to be tolerated?

Many thanks for any advice\feedback on this issue\maybe not an issue :)

Well I did Wall-E, it worked perfect.:thanks: I have to say it looked, sounded very good and played perfect. I guess it looked slightly worse than the 20.1g BDfile I processed it from but looked pretty dam good. It did a great job on the sound, converting DTS-HD to 448kbps.

Took 14 hours to process nect time I'll try dvd-9

Another follow up to my previous post #243 above. Just made a visit to the local Fry's store to test The Scorpion King, full backup burned on DVD-R from ImgBurn. Tried several players with only one that plays the audio from the main movie.
LG BD300 - Ejects disc and says incompatible disc.
Samsung BD-2550 - incompatible disc.
Panasonic DMP-BD30 - ejects disc and says incompatible disc.
Panasonic DMP-BD35 - just stops after inserting disc.
Sony BDP-S350 - plays disc with audio for preview and main menu, no audio for the main movie though( same as BDP-BX1)
Sony BDP-S300 - plays all audio, even the main movie!! :)
I believe jdobbs has the Sony BDP-S300, and has reported many(100+) successful backups.
Not tested on a PS3 but I will soon.
So it appears different players have different compatibility levels. I know jdobbs will have a new challenge ahead for the "New Year".
