BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[HandiA]

Just wondering.
Any other thoughts on BD Rebuiler failure for this film?

[Lathe]

Succeeded with LAV Filters under version 50.18 and High-Speed setting.
I'll try to get closer to 23.2 Go BD with Highest setting and customized size target around 24350. I'll take a closer look too at CRF settings.
Many thanks for your precious help; it is a nice feeling to recover this unvaluable program.

Yep, LAV rules! :D

Sometimes, when I am REALLY close to a full BD-25 size I set the custom target size for 23,700. I think that is as high as you can go without going over. I think when I tried 23,800 it came out just a little too big. Remember, the actual size on disc will be bigger than the limit that you set. I can't remember, but I THINK that when I set the size for 23,700, the resulting actual size on the disc was about 24,800 or so, I don't remember...

I've run into the situation where there was a mistake in the menu, but I can see no way to get the menu rebuilt, without starting over. What could be a matter of less than a minute, will take somewhere between 30-60 minutes.

What would be really great is if after the menu text is edited, the menu structure would be rebuilt. For a full backup, that means switching to Quick Play mode in order to be able to edit the menu, and when the Save button is pressed, the menu structure is rebuilt.

Of course, for a full backup that was completed and an ISO built, the ISO needs to be rebuilt as well.

As it stands right now I have to start over and re-enter all of the text in the menu.

Anything to help with this will be appreciated.

Edit the menu (titles) and then re-import

[MrVideo]

Edit the menu (titles) and then re-import
That is just it... I'm trying to avoid the re-importing of the files. That process takes between 30-60 minutes (for this particular job).

[Blurayhd]

Hi jdobbs there´s some way to extract one or more selected audio or subtitles from the Bluray? Just like MKV extract? or you could add that option?

Anyway thankk you very much buddy

[Sharc]

Can BD-RB use a video for the menu background, one that also contains audio? I'd like to use the original motion background video of a BD, if at all possible.
Did you try:
Settings=>Import/Quick-Play Settings
In the opening window tick
"Attempt to find original background ....."
(Maybe audio is not copied, I don't remember)

tsMuxeR 2.6.12 will do that, subtitles will be in pgs/.sup format which can be converted to for example .srt using other apps.

Won't work in this case because BD-RB is not being used to do a backup of the disc. I'm importing files. I know which file is the menu background.

[Blurayhd]

tsMuxeR 2.6.12 will do that, subtitles will be in pgs/.sup format which can be converted to for example .srt using other apps.

Thank you, some guide for that?

if I have a compilant MPEG 2 DVD stream, or a few of them, can I create a blu-ray without re-encoding?

Last time I tried this BD rebuilder took a 4 gb file and made it 22gb.

Just import them, if they are compliant to spec there is no need to re-encode
Or use FORCE_NOENCODE=1 in the configuration file
Or use a custom size

[MrVideo]

Just import them, if they are compliant to spec there is no need to re-encode
Since they are coming from DVDs, they will be compliant. Even if they aren't, the odds of the files not being played by a standalone player, or software players, is slim to none.
Or use FORCE_NOENCODE=1 in the configuration file
Didn't work for me.

But, yes, if you set up for Full Backup and then import the files, you'll be given the opportunity to edit the menu text. Once you submit the menu changes, it will set up the BDMV/CERTIFICATE directory structure. You can then burn that to a Blu-ray.

In order to not waste a Blu-ray disc, use a BD-RE disc to verify the menu text and viewing of the files.

I have tried over six different Blu-Rays and all off them comes up with Fail to Retrieve Audio. Another one was The Shallows. It processed the movie minus the audio. I even had the last couple of times I tried came back saying TS muxer stop working. I tried re-installing the Lav, FFshow, Hali, and the Avinsynth. I even tried leaving out FFshow and Hali. To no avail. Two weeks ago I had no problem. Now nothing works. I tried the latest version of BD Rebuilder and even previous versions. Please help.

if I have a compilant MPEG 2 DVD stream, or a few of them, can I create a blu-ray without re-encoding?

Last time I tried this BD rebuilder took a 4 gb file and made it 22gb.Just import it and burn it. The Pseudo structure will be compliant because the input is compliant. The exception would be if you are importing a 352x480/576 source (which is DVD compliant while not BD compliant -- but that is extremely rare [probably 1 in 10,000 or more]).

If you want to reencode it to AVC and get output smaller than 22GB, change the target size.

[MrVideo]

Just import it and burn it. The Pseudo folder will be compliant because the input is compliant.

When I imported files to build my own Blu-ray, the Pseudo directory was empty. The path for the burnable files was: working -> import -> <volume name> -> BDMV/CERTIFICATE

[jdobbs]

When I imported files to build my own Blu-ray, the Pseudo directory was empty. The path for the burnable files was: working -> import -> <volume name> -> BDMV/CERTIFICATEYes. I should have said the Pseudo structure. If that folder is empty, the it can just be deleted (although keeping it won't hurt anything.

Ya, I just drop the BDMV and CERTIFICATE directories into ImgBurn.

Any comments on my other postings?

After I finally got my BD-RE order (postal delays), I was able to test a rebuild of a Blu-ray. All went really well. What surprised me is that when a video was done playing, the menu selection moved down to the next selection. I was happy to see that. It is real annoying to have professional releases return to the menu at the selection that was just played. Thanks for doing what I believe should be done.

Also each one of the 6 failures were different rips, different movies, and a couple of time I tried to re-rip two of the titles to check if it was a bad rip

Are you overclocked, possibly, or any chance you could be getting a disc read or write error? The line right after the sensed failure should be the error return (the last thing TSMUXER has reported). In your attempt it is "25.2% complete". That's obviously not an error, which makes one wonder why the program is ending.

Also try freeing up some disc space on the working drive and see if that helps. 67.53GB is cutting it pretty close.

Sorry, but I don't know how to overclock. On one of my failures. I did get a pop up that said TSMUXER quit. So I went and re-installed it, and still failed.

There's really not much that can go wrong with a TSMUXER extraction other than something disc related or a corrupt source.

I just tried again with more space. And the same result. I also received a pop up that said TSMUXER stop running Windows will notify me when a solution is found

When you say corrupt, like what? I found a lot of articles and videos about TSMUXER stop running. But the one I've found pertains mostly mkv's. So what would you think I could check. This has happened with at least 6 different movies and rips using Anydvd. And a couple were redone. Nothing new has been added to the pc. I only use it for my movies. Only windows updates.

[jdobbs]

I'm not sure there's anything that can be done. All indicators point to a problem specific to your system, not BD Rebuilder. Sorry.

Something is killing TSMUXER, and there aren't a lot of probabilities beyond disc. Have you run CHKDSK on the working drive?

Just a quickie... (as usual...)

For some odd reason it seems that my last several encodes have come out smaller than usual. I'm using the current version of BDRB and the x264_64.exe from 5012 like JD suggested.

Just about ALWAYS before it seemed like all my BD-25 encodes came out to around 22.9 or pretty close. And, as I commented recently, when a movie only is just a tad too big for that, I have set the custom size to about 23.7 which has usually come out on disc about 23.3 or so. BUT... lately all of my encodes are coming out a little smaller. It's not the end of the world or anything, but like the one I just did I was doing a movie only with an original size of about 26 Gigs and this time I left it on BD-25. But, it came out to 21.1 Gigs, which is almost 2 full Gigs short. And, BTW, this is always with 2 Pass encodes.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this. I'm using the LAV encoder as I always do.

Here are the pertinent parts of the logs to show the sizing, etc:

One thing that WAS a little odd about this Blu-ray is that even though it is a Movie Only encode, the film itself was strangely divided up into the first mt2s which was about 3 minutes, and then the 2nd one was about 12 seconds, and then the 3rd one was the rest of the film.

Weird... maybe that's why the size was off here, I don't know...

Thanks!

I re-installed TSMUXER and this time it does not say error that TSMUXER quit or Failed to retrieve video. This time it say's "Failed to reencode audio, aborted". It's a DTS sound track and trying to reencode it to AC3. In the setup option box. The Do not convert DTS to AC3 box is checked and the Do not reencode the AC3 is also checked. What do you think could be causing the failure with the "Failed to reencode audio, aborted" and why is trying to convert and reencode the audio?

@ raisingcanex: RE: It's a DTS sound track and trying to reencode it to AC3. In the setup option box. The Do not convert DTS to AC3 box is checked and the Do not reencode the AC3 is also checked. Why is trying to convert and reencode the audio?
You must be trying to do a BD9 to burn to a DVD+DL, if you are using this Target BD size: 7.84 GB.
*** Per the Audio Switches in BD_Rebuilder
1. Default (all audio options unchecked)
---- All audio is converted to DD AC3. Bitrate is 640Kbs for 5.1 and 224Kbs for 2.0.
---- All 7.1 sources are down-converted to 5.1
1.1 448Kbs selected -- 5.1 = 448Kbs, 2.0 = 224Kbs
1.2 192Kbs selected, all sources down-converted to 2.0 @ 192Kbs

2. "Do not convert DTS" checked and full-backup, or movie-only and "Strict AVCHD" is not checked: When the source is DTS, the DTS core is extracted and used intact (bit-for-bit).

3. "Do not reencode AC3" checked and full-backup, or movie-only and "Strict AVCHD" is not checked: When the source is Dolby, the Dolby core is extracted and used intact.

4. LPCM is always converted to AC3.

5. Keep HD is always ignored.

6. Setting "OVERRIDE_AVCHD_AUDIO_LIMIT=1" in the INI will allow strict AVCHD to also use DTS.

Important note: Choosing to keep DTS on AVCHD output violates the AVCHD standard and can result in a disc that will not play on some players. It is highly recommended that DTS is converted to AC3 for BD-5/9 movie-only encodes.

Well, FWIW I have an OPPO Blu-ray player, which is probably (likely because it is their oldest high-end model and is several years old now) one of THE touchiest Blu-ray players in what it will recognize and play, either in an MKV format or as in this case a BDMV folder or AVCHD folder. However, any time I have used just the DTS core, for example, as the audio track (@ 1500) it has played it just fine from within the BDMV format (Blu-ray disc)

The only consideration that I would mention, which I have come across in the past is that if your source is SUPER big and complex, you might have some issues with the quality of the picture if you are compressing to a BD5 or BD9 AND trying to keep the full HD audio, or even just the core @ 1500 which can usually take up around 1 - 1 1/2 Gigs.

BTW... with disc limitations pretty much irrelevant now, does it REALLY matter to choose a BD5 or BD9 format any more...??? I mean, I can understand and I myself compress Blu-rays down to like 7-10 Gigs many times just to save size for archive purposes, but are the PRECISE 'disc' sizes really that important anymore...? I know that it has been YEARS since I purchased DVD9s or Dual Layer DVDs. And, about the ONLY time I absolutely HAVE to use one (that I can see anyway) is specifically to burn a DVD Audio disc or an SACD disc, because I can't get Blu-ray discs to work in that case. Otherwise, I don't really have a use for them. If I have say 2 or 3 films backed up at crf-18, I can generally fit them on one Blu-ray and use BDRB to create a menu, etc.

There ARE many times where I use regular DVD5s for like Xtras only or if I have an encoded DVDrip or something like that, but otherwise in my lowly and wretched opinion I just can't see much reason to use the BD9 sizing, really...

[jdobbs]

...the DTS core...it has played it just fineYep... as long as you're planning on never changing your player for the rest of your life that's fine. But since it violates the standard, the chances are good it won't work on your next player. AVCHD doesn't support DTS.

As to your second point -- with the price of BD-Rs as cheap as they are, there's not a lot of reason to stick with DVD-R. I haven't found the need to create an AVCHD disc in a long time.

[MrVideo]

There are three discs I want to author that will only have one item. How do I get a menu created for these discs? I looked at the various setting GUIs and the INI and HIDDEN text files. Nothing stood out.

I know that it seems silly to have a menu when there is only one item, but I do not want the discs to start playing when inserted. The program on the disc should be started when the user is ready and when to do that is done via the menu.

Good point JD!

From HIDDENOPTS

MENU_FORCE_QUICK=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", create Quick menu even for only one play item

[MrVideo]

Thanks, I must have been tired not to have seen that one.

[gonca]

:confused:Thanks, I must have been tired not to have seen that one.

Maybe I finally got one right

[MrVideo]

Well, that didn't work. I finally got a chance to test it. Mode is full backup. I import the single file and BD-RB immediately went into fetching the file. No menu editing was presented. Changed the mode to Quick-Play Backup and there is no means in which to import anything. No idea what this mode allows anyone to do.

So, I'm at a loss as to what it takes to get a menu with only a single item.

[MrVideo]

I did some thread searching and found the following:I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new version of BD-RB (v0.46.03). Changes for this release:- Added a hidden option "MENU_FORCE_QUICK=1"
that will create a quick menu even when
only one playlist is selected to be kept.
This applies only to Quick-Play backups,
not to imports.
OK, that explains it not working with imports, so how do I get Quick-Play backups to work?

I'm beginning to get the impression that I can't do this with build-my-own Blu-ray from selected files.
