It's hard to tell what your problem is. BDRebuider "will" extract the dts audio track properly if you don't keep the HD audio.


1. Start by reading this guide which will explain the proper use of the audio options if it's unclear to you. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145024

2. Make sure you are not using the version of tsmuxer that comes with 20.05, obtain the latest version, 1.8.35 works.

3. Start from scratch after you've done these 2 things. You could work from your working files, but it would be hard to explain if you only have basic experience with this stuff.

4. Try reading back through several days of this thread to get a feel of what others have been doing to solve their issues.

from what i can read

"The first option "Do no convert DTS to AC3". If this is selected and your bluray has a DTS\DTS-HD\DTSMA audio track, then it will not be re-encoded to AC3"

i can say there's a bug in 20.05,cause i get ac3 with this option selected.

may be it's tsmuxer,cause i've used the one in bdrb's package

Twilight Region B doesn't work, replaced tsmuxer with new one so i can keep HD audio (5.1 dts-hd master audio)
Summary of problem , disk boots fine, plays studio logos and trailers, goes to main menu - any attempt to play film either from play movie command or scene selection results in play looping back to main menu... any attempt to play extras results in audio, but no video :(
My reults are on panasonic BD30, i am no longer using fixclpi=0 since this was apparently fixed.
If you need any more details please let me know what.
p.s. if you count a lot of universal titles there is a mounting list of films that this program doesn't work with.... :scared:

If you aren't already try a tsmuxer build between 1.8.30 and 1.8.34 like 1.8.30 (http://www.videohelp.com/download/tsMuxeR_1.8.30b.zip).
Older versions don't work well with HD audio, newer versions break playback in some standalones with bluray output (which BD-RB uses).

Mmm i have already done a couple of disks with the new TS Muxer to keep HD Audio, and i havn't changed my anydvd this week, do you still think that is the problem? and if so will i lose HD Audio by going back to 1.8.30 and if so will i have to untick keep HD Audio :(

If you already had some success with tsmuxer 1.8.35+ then it won't be that, it's just that the bluray output changed dramatically with these new versions and I haven't seen one report of a player that's working with it. 1.8.30 works fine with HD audio unless you have DTS MA and popcorn hour or tvix player.

Did South Park S12 D3 last night. Original disc is 26.6 GB and Full Backup turned out to be only 21.4 GB. So while the backup is undersized, it seems to be working perfectly, TrueHD audio and all. Used RB v0.20.05 with tsmuxer 1.9.1(b).

hi,

i've tried reenconding erin brokovich leaving true hd on disk,....

used actual bd-rebuilder and tsmuxxer 1.9.1(b).

the reencodes disc works on computer, laptop and my bd-55, but the sound is stuttering.

I've got this problem with any bd using keep hd audio.

I'always do a movie only backup with the following sound configuration:
keep hd audio = on
dts reencode = off
ac3 reencode = off
ac3_640 off

using tsmuxxer only to keep hd data, everything is ok,...., but the filsize is too high in some case so i have to use bd-rebuilder
any ideas ?

Looks like we are all searching for a definitive set up...

The 'definitive' setup is to use the tools provided with BD-Rebuilder, not randomly update them to new versions - especially ones not tested by bdrb's author. Neither full backup or movie only will work for your PS3 (if you use DVD) if you're using the latest versions of tsmuxer - until jdobbs changes bdrb or/and the version he uses in the software.

turbojet
10th April 2009, 17:58
Normally I'd say that's true but jdobbs added HD audio support but didn't update tsmuxer with a version that worked with DTS-HD so if you are keeping it you'll get errors.

To reiterate 1.8.30 is the only one still available that has DTS-HD support and still supports PS3 and other SAPs that have always worked. 1.8.35 and 1.9.x versions break playback in PS3 for sure and probably other SAPs.

With anydvd it doesn't hurt to have the latest but if that's an issue it would throw errors in the anydvd log and during encoding and video would be all garbled it wouldn't just all of a sudden break playback on a standalone.

jdobbs: 720p sup's are still really error prone, please add support for BDSup2Sub in the next version so we can get 720 sup's as they are supposed to be. All that's required is java runtime environment a simple command line and < 30 seconds per sup.

People are mainly using newer versions of tsmuxer than the one included with BDRB because the one included can't mux TrueHD correctly. You will get no audio at all on any stand alone, making the "keep HD audio" option useless for any disc that doesn't have DTSMA on.

I think you mean TrueHD ;) DTSMA works fine for me with the one included on my sap Sony BDP-S550. Maybe the PS3 is a different story.

Does anyone know how to track down the file(s) that are causing an issue with:

CorrectMPLS() 00009 5

As the process has almost completed (bd-rb actually says 100%), it can only be a case of the update to the playlist files and it may be possible to correct them using the originals.

i have 2 problems - i still cant figure out what the problem is.

1. bd rebuilder makes 2 pass encoding. i have a quad core. first pass it approx ~0.96 speed but the cores arnt loaded 100%. they are at about ~60% in total. second pass loades cores completely at 100% but speed is only ~0.50. Whats exactly the problem ?

2. why can i only choose x264 in the settings and not the ff version ? its greyed out

1st Pass is always much faster than the second no matter what encoder you use and you can only select x264 because the code for ffmpeg is not implemented and may never be

Another undersized Full Backup, this time a more severe one. Tested v0.20.05 (with tsmuxer 1.9.1(b)) on Ghost in the Shell 2.0 by removing the Japanese LPCM 2.0 track and leaving everything else intact. Original disc is 24.3 GB and the LPCM track accounts for approx. 1.5 GB -- yet the backup is only 17.8 GB.

NOT A BUG

It's becausse it's anime and compresses like crazy and the bitrate has reached saturation.

It's pointless backing up anime to anything larger than a DVD9. Even if you're doing a full disc. If jdobbs would allow it you could prolly even fit a DTSMA\TrueHD\LPCM track on there too.

(assuming you have a bluray player that can play DVD9) :)

Edit - sorry didn't read your post properly. You could still try a different version of tsmuxer as bdrb doesn't really do anything to the audio except run it through some basic tool that is included with bdrb and nobody has had a problem with it. Are you sure you were using the same version of tsmuxer that worked ok with bdrb?

so if i only use tools provided in bdrb 20.05 package,and that i got ac3 even with only "do not convert dts to ac3" checked,can i say it's a bug?

using another tsmuxer isn't a solution in a topic called "BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only" cause we have to find bugs with the package provided.

and if jddobs give us just an exe (not a sfx for sure),how would you change the tools compiled?

Retried this withtsmuxer 1.8.30 and still got the same prob with the movie, and now the extras that played audio with no video, now just attempt to play (black screen, couple of resolution changes) then back to main menu..???
If anyone has done a full back up of twilight region b, could you please forward all settings and tools revisons please... i am currently gonna re-rip using the good friday release of anydvd, so i will check back in a couple of hours ( :eek: oh my god)

After a number of tries, I've been unable to backup the BD disc 'Cloverfield'.

All audio/sub extractions go fine, but it will not encode - failed, retry, abort.

I was pulling my hair out on this one since I originally suspected it was a problem with ffdshow/matroska (based on other posts), but after numerous attempts at reinstalling various programs (including ffdshow, avisynth, matroska, etc) I went back and tried a disc that was previously successful, and voila, that particular title went into the reencode flawlessly, so the system/configuration appears good.
I can only infer that it's this particular title.
I'm not sure what else to try to get it to encode :(

Yes, it is VC-1.
EDIT: In MPC it is described as 'WVC-1', and it will not play.

Interestingly, my other disc that I tried numerous times to re-encode (ie: 'How the West was Won') is also a WVC-1 and this also will not play in MPC.

Yes, VC-1
Haven't yet tried to play in MPC, since I don't have that installed.
I haven't seen the BluRay version of CLOVERFIELD. From the DVD version I guess that it was shot with a video camera, possibly interlaced or perhaps even worse hybrid progressive/interlaced which causes a headache for decoding.
Still, you may want to check the settings of the ffdshow codec: If you have WMP11 installed you should deactivate the VC-1 in ffdshow. If you don't have WMP installed in your systen you should set the ffdshow VC-1 decoder to wmv9. If it's purely interlaced it should help.
(You find more on this subject somewhere earlier in this thread.)

It's becausse it's anime and compresses like crazy and the bitrate has reached saturation.
Yeah, I know how well modern, clean anime compresses. Ghost in the Shell 2.0 however has noise, grain and gradients so it doesn't compress quite as well.

Anyways, I did another compress of a live-action shot-on-film movie last night and it came out severely undersized as well. Japanese release of a movie called "Chapter 27"; original disc is 26 GB and Full Backup came out as 18,7 GB. All I did was remove one audio track (approx. 1GB).

It's pointless backing up anime to anything larger than a DVD9. Even if you're doing a full disc.
Well, that's something we'll have to agree to disagree on :)

Thanks... I set the VC-1 to wmv9 (it was diabled) which didn't help. I may be missing some codec or another.

EDIT: I went back and set the VC-1 codec to libavcodec, and success! MPC did play the m2ts.
I'm going to try to run it through BDRB again right now..

So what have you (or others) used that will consistently play these stubborn VC-1 files?
Has VLC been working with the latest builds?

I'm thinking about installing the XP-Codec-Pack 2.4.6, which includes a full MPC as well as a gamut of other codecs. I'm just concerned that it may override some of ffdshow's settings and possibly bork the whole setup...

All I have installed is FFDshow no other codecs and wouldnt recommend it either
MPEG2: FFDshow libavcodec
AVC: FFDshow libavcodec
VC-1: FFDshow disabled (defaults to WMV codec from WMP)

FFDshow Version: ffdshow tryouts revision 2275 Oct 26 2008

Everything works that i throw at it apart from mixed i/p VC-1 which just causes x264 to crash the same as everyone else

Thanks for the feedback -

I just ran Cloverfield again using the VC-1 codec libavcodec, and it's working :) Finally. Hopefully it will work throughout.

It's not my opinion. It is the community at large's opinion :)

But anyway, another reason for your undersizing is that BDRB imposes a bitrate limit on the video that is lower than the actual bluray specification.

What you are experiencing is definately saturation, no doubt about it. If your sources are 25GB or thereabouts you're not going to get output of 22.5GB or whatever the default jdobbs has it set as.

It's not a bug, it's just that space isn't needed. It's a bug in x264 if anything which isn't something jdobbs can really do anything about. The artificial bitrate limit jdobbs imposes is there for poor media\you don't need a limit higher than what he has set (in his opinion).

Argumentum ad populum; also, the studios and authoring shops appear to disagree by releasing two-hour anime films as 30-40 GB encodes with average bitrates of over 35mbps. But yeah, whatever :)

OK, that explains it. Cheers.

Edit: also have to mention that BDRB has, all in all, worked marvelously well for me. I've done 5 full backups with it and every one has gone through without a hitch on first try. Kudos to jdobbs; there's definitely another donation looming in the horizon.

If jdobbs wants x264 to waste bitrate arbitrarily as necessary (roughly equivalent in result to throwing a bunch of zeroes at the end of the file) to reach the exact filesize, he can set qpmin to zero.

I knew I shouldn't have put it like that...Was just trying to make it clear that the "undersizing" is more due to x264 than a bug in BDRB. Of course the undersizing is a good thing in terms of efficiency but to some people who don't realise the bits aren't needed they might not realise that it's a positive and their source not needing the bits is the "problem".

"undersizing" implies a bug. But it isn't and that is what I was trying to get across.

:) aye mate, wasn't trying to start a "I'm right your wrong". Again I was a little brash with my assertion. I should have just said anime compresses better than live action film and a source that is already very close to fitting on a BD25 could well undersize, regardless of it being quite rough. Main point being that it isn't really a problem as such, blame x264 for being too good at it's job ;)

Retried this withtsmuxer 1.8.30 and still got the same prob with the movie, and now the extras that played audio with no video, now just attempt to play (black screen, couple of resolution changes) then back to main menu..???
If anyone has done a full back up of twilight region b, could you please forward all settings and tools revisons please... i am currently gonna re-rip using the good friday release of anydvd, so i will check back in a couple of hours ( :eek: oh my god)
LOL


I tried substituting 1.8.30 as well and got the same results you did for full disc. It probably works fine for movie only but I can confirm that extras won't play if you use 1.8.30. Has anyone tried 1.9.7(b) yet?

Edit - sorry didn't read your post properly. You could still try a different version of tsmuxer as bdrb doesn't really do anything to the audio except run it through some basic tool that is included with bdrb and nobody has had a problem with it. Are you sure you were using the same version of tsmuxer that worked ok with bdrb?

i'am using the discribed version, which works fine with bd rebuilder. only the hd data would not be feteched correct.

so far as i know, the version which is delivered by bdreb doesn't support fetching hd data.

using the newest tsmuxxer version fetching hd data with tsmuxxer only works, but i combination with bdrb i've got stuttering hd data

Someone mentioed using tsmuxer 1.8.30b was a good combination to retain HD audio correctly and no picture problems on some player.

I tried this version and I got problems just getting my SAP Sony BDP-S550 (which is the most compatible player series available) to recognise the disc. Won't even load it, showing an error message on my LCD display.


I'm using 1.8.35b with ZERO problems and I'd recommend to at least try that.

I think 1.9.7 will clear up a lot of problems but I tried that too with no success but I think this is because it has couple of very big changes that need new switches from BDRB to select the right output type (bluray\avchd).

just use tsmuxer to remove unwnted audio if the original is just a shade over 25gb

He will only have the movie only then though, I suspect that since he chose "full disc" mode he wanted everything except audio intact.

Hi guys,

I am getting the same error after installing the updated bd rebuilder on several titles, tried national treasure again as i still had it ripped on the H/D and got this error.

updated all the relevent tools provided as well in case it was those.

Any chance I can have the old version back to download/install? I'm halfway through my collection and it worked brilliantly for me.

Well, you didn't indicate what version of tsmuxer you are using with BDRB. As a personal rule with me, I don't just keep updating stuff to be updating. I keep 2 copies of BDRB with 2 different versions of tsmuxer. Copy #1 is 1.8.35(b) which has been working perfectly with HD audio and I work with copy # 2 that has the newest version. That way if ever I run into an issue, I don't have to scratch my head wondering, I just go back to my baseline with copy #1 to rule out the newer tsmuxer.

When I ran into an issue like yours, I was short disk space so as a general rule make sure you have atleast 45-50GB of FREE space before running BDRB. Also, I would suggest going back to one of the previous versions of txmuxer.

One other thing, rarely do you need an older copy of BDRB, the problem usually lies somewhere else.
