I think this drives the nail into the coffin:
I have updated the first post of this thread with links to the latestd release of BD-RB (v0.43.01). Changes for this version:- Created a new Mode: "Quick-Play Mode". This mode
is similar to to Movie-Only in that it removes
menus, etc. -- but in Quick-Play mode all
significant playlists are kept. The feature will
play immediately upon insertion into the player
but you can switch to other playlists (extras) by
pushing the "Menu" remote key during playback.
This action will cycle through all playable
items individually. Note: It's possible to have
a Quick-Play that consists of only the movie when
all other playlists are below the threshold that
is considered significant.

So, it looks like I am going to have to have a 2nd dummy item for the menu, in order to even have a menu.

It would really be nice to be able to have a menu, even if there is only one item in an import selection (reason explained above).

@MrVideo; RE: It would really be nice to be able to have a menu, even if there is only one item.
You could always use CloneBD to generate a simple one item menu. But if you wanted to make one with custom backgrounds with audio, chapter's with picture icons and audio, subtitle selection screens then you can still use multiAVCHD 4.1. YES it does have a learning curve but it is really an excellent BD authoring program even though unlike BD_Rebuilder, it's not being supported anymore. I still use it occasionally to make a series disk to evenly place the same amount of episodes on each disk. I hate it when one disk has 5 episodes and the last disk has only 2 with tons of extras, lol. I think you will have to run it on Win7 though. I just use it make a 50gb disk and then use BD_Rebuilder to size it, cause it takes forever to encode.

I agree, MultiAVCHD is an excellent software to create your own BD-titles.
Lots of features and possibilities to make a neat menu.
Highly recommended! Really sad it's not developed anymore.

I haven't used multiAVCHD in ages. I didn't like how it went from choice to choice and didn't allow a simple selection list like BD-RB does. It just wasn't my cup of tea. OTOH, BD-RB is really great. Sure there are some features that would be nice to have, but pretty much every program has things that users would like to have. Jdobbs has even said that he is leaning toward to making it a full BD authoring program. He is well on his way.

Not sure why multiAVCHD needs to be used to create discs with evenly spaced episode count, since BD-RB lets you do that. It is what I am using to make discs. For example, for a season one set, I controlled which episodes were on a disc by having what I want on a disc in a directory of its own, one for each of the discs. With the ability to use the font I want, I can have the text on the menu use the font that the series uses (when I can get that font).

In the case of the latest issue, I'm adding a trailer for the movie, which now makes the menu have two items. Still doesn't mean I wouldn't like the ability to create single item menus, it doesn't.

I can't remember why it doesn't create the menu on import. I'm sure there's a good reason -- I'll have to go back and check.

But. You can always import, and then do a quick-play backup of the import (instead of a Full Backup), and a menu will be created.

I've discovered a bug in the menu creation. View this image (http://vidiot.com/images/BD-RB-menu-error.jpg).

The area containing the error is circled. The settings are in the INI file posted above.

And yes, it is a photo of the screen and not a screen grab as I can't do a screen grab from a Blu-ray player. :D

UPDATE: It is related to the font that is being used. It is "aniron bold" and is available from here (http://www.thehutt.de/tolkien/fonts.html).

The "ringbearer medium" font works just fine.

That didn't work.

When I imported a single file in Full Backup mode and then switched the mode to Quick-Play, BD-RB wouldn't let me edit the menu because I didn't have a source path. When I hit the backup button, it too complained about no source path. There is no source, since the file has already been imported.

I just thought of something, because of the thing I found regarding the menu text and something else I saw with a menu.

The menu text appears to be placed within a "box" that has its background color set to the menu backdrop color. That means the menu text can never be placed over an image, because the text isn't within a transparent container. In a previous posting, I asked if there was a way to use the menu background video from a BD release (still haven't heard back on that one). But, if the menu text can't be placed on the menu background without the solid box, it isn't worth having a background image that isn't solid.

Is my understanding of this correct?

In your post the problem isn't the background color. It's the fact that one piece of text (in a box) is overlapping another. BD-RB pulls the font height/width and sets the spacing based on that... apparently with that font it is wrong.

As for the background video, the only way to do it right now is to import from a BD -- and the background video from the BD will be used.

The source path is set to the imported Pseudo Structure after an import.

I'm not sure what you're talking about here.

1. Import the file. At completion the source path is pointing to the Pseudo Structure.
2. Set the backup type to Quick-Play
3. Click on "Edit Quick-Play Menu" from the MODE menu.

I just did it several times with several different files. No problem.

Here are screen grabs of the steps I took (http://vidiot.com/images/BDRB-quick-play-steps.jpg).

Description:
1) Make sure BD-RB is in Full Backup mode
2) Import a single file
3) Results after import is done
4) Select Quick-Play Backup mode
5) Result after selection is made. Notice source is now empty.
6) Select Edit Quick-Play Menu
7) Result after selection

If those are not the correct steps, which seems to be what you did, please let me know what I need to do differently.

UPDATE: I tried it again, with the same results. But I manually looked in the source directory and all that is in the PSEUDO directory is a PINFO.INF file. There are BDMV and CERTIFICATE directories and the BDMV path contains all of the goodies.

Weird. I just did a test and purposely moved the menu text over the top of the logo and the text background is indeed transparent.

What got me to believe that the text background wasn't transparent was when I was working on the first disc for Legend of the Seeker. I didn't have the text down far enough and the bottom of the background image logo got clipped by the text box. I also saw a box that the text was in because when I sent the background fill color, I didn't notice that it was at ~10-10-10 (decimal), so the darker level of the text box was visible on the screen.

No idea what happened to cause that.

In your post the problem isn't the background color. It's the fact that one piece of text (in a box) is overlapping another. BD-RB pulls the font height/width and sets the spacing based on that... apparently with that font it is wrong.
I won't be using that font.

I'll stick with static images then.

It's kinda' out-there trying to make a complete disc with a menu for a trailer. That's probably the issue. The source probably went blank because there is nothing in the source path that meets the minimum size for quick-menu. Try adjusting QUICK_PLAY_THRESHOLD. It's default minimum is 10 minutes.

The trailer was only being used because it was small, which means it doesn't take long to import. The real file is 22GB, so it takes too long when doing menu creation tests. I didn't think about the threshold because the IMPORT threshold is 15 and it is ignored. I'm able to import two < 15 min files without any issues.

That fixed that issue. But, I expected BD-RB to re-encode the selected file, and it did. As pointed out, I do not want any re-encoding to take place. The input files are to be used as is.

So, this means I'm back to Full Backup mode and stopping after the input stage. That means I will have to have at least two files on the menu. In this case, the feature and a trailer.

I am looking forward to the future where one item will be allowed to have a menu created.

As for "IMPORT threshold is 15 and it is ignored", please note the highlighted info in the description:IMPORT_THRESHOLD=n n = Threshold size (in minutes), default=15, of BD/DVD titles listed for IMPORT selectionWhy in the world would I put a time threshold of an individual file when you are specifically selecting it? BDs and DVDs have lots of small extraneous titles, and the threshold is there to save you the time of reviewing them all, some of which may consist of no more than a single frame.

When using QUICK_CRF, the higher the number the smaller the extras file size? Or is it the other way around?

I have all three of the Lord of the Rings Extended editions. The problem with each one is that the movie is spread over two discs. I've re-encoded and edited th two parts together to make a single extended feature.

That is what is being authored to a disc. Then it will be added to the rest of the discs in the movie's set.

Sorry, but since that setting is part of the main INI file, I never looked to see if it was in the HIDDEN file, as I didn't expect it to be there. That is because the first line of the HIDDEN file says that the following is a list of options that can be added to the main file. So, I never went looking for a description of it.

Live and learn.

Hi there, thought I'd see you sooner or later! lol
OK, to each his own... but it looks like MrVideo having more trouble than fun, and it's supposed to be fun being creative.

It is a learning curve. Things are definitely getting there. Try doing real authoring with Scenarist. That is a real PITA, hence I do not use it. I started to. BD-RB is a lot easier to use to make a simple menu of selectable items. I do not need anything fancy. In most cases I will be making Blu-rays that contain multiple episodes, like Legend of the Seeker, which was only released on DVD (ABC Studios has a habit of pretty much only releasing TV shows on DVD). Because I have the episodes as 35 Mbps MPEG-2 files (from the syndicated sat feeds), I've recoded to H.264 and now assembling the episodes on Blu-ray. I've been waiting for the right tool to come along, and BD-RB is it.

The only piece of the puzzle to yet arrive is the ability to make a menu only containing a single imported MKV file. So, for this run, I'm adding a trailer of the movie to each disc. When I get to the Hobbit trilogy, maybe it will be available.

The first way. Smaller numbers mean higher quality and bigger file size, larger numbers mean lower quality and smaller file size.


Thank you :)

Thank you :)Yeah. I know it sounds a little backwards. But CRF is a more sophisticated implementation of constant quantizer settings. Increasing the quantization factor reduces filesize while increasing the risk of distortion.

Look at the INI file that I posted in a previous posting. It is set to 1, but is being ignored. I even have it in the main BDREBUILDER.INI, so that every job has that setting.Hmm... as mentioned before, that means that BD-RB (for some reason) thinks the source isn't compliant. I may have to introduce a new hidden option that tells it "Really, I know what I'm doing... don't reencode, dumbass."

1. Is there anything in the PSEUDO folder? Resizing to BD standards can force encoding.
2. Is your output set to DVD-5/9. If so, reencoding is required because of the lower maximum bitrate for DVD media.

@MrVideo

Ok. I looked at the code, and any source that has a PSEUDO folder is forced into encoding. So in order to trick it into not knowing it's an import, after you import, delete the PSEUDO folder (assuming it is empty), and then reopen it with BD-RB. The should allow the FORCE_NOENCODE to take effect (assuming no other reason exists like forced resizing to meet standards).

I'll look at how much work it might be to examine everything and see if I can delete it myself. But the problem is that there are SO MANY things that have to be checked (bitrates, maximums, GOP limitations, levels, b-frame counts, etc) that I'm not sure I want to go through all that. The bottom line is that you just can't trust an imported source to be compliant.

I always move the BD folder from the PSEUDO folder anyhow. I think when BD_Rebuilder first started creating quick play BD's with simple menu's, I kept having problems with it creating an extra bogus menu entry probably for the menu creation. I started using a custom size for the BD compilation of 50,000 to make sure it didn't re-encode the 4 episode m2ts video files. After it created the BD, I would then move it from the work folder drive back onto the drive I use for the source and do a full backup resized for a BD25 disk. I found that I could re-edit the quick play menu to remove the bogus entry and also the compilation would be far more accurate with the size limits I specified. Also I had no surprises with the disk structure being playable after spending hours to re-encode a broken menu or an episode in the wrong order. I even had some episodes from a series disk that only had 2 episodes on the final disk and I would use BD_Rebuilder to do only the oversized episodes to a custom size to get them to be comparable to some episodes from a more compressed disk before using them on a 4 episode BD disk. BD_Rebuilder has really become a great video authoring tool for my movie hobby. Many thanks to jdobbs for all the hard work. I wish there was some way I could help support it's development more.

@jdobbs:

This whole exercise has come about in order to try and get a menu created for a single import file. Might it be easier to just allow creation of a menu in Full Backup mode, if the option to create a menu with only one item is set to 1? Because then there will be zero recoding because an actual backup will not be done. The structure that is created after importing, and menu editing, is where I stop and burn the contents of the BDMV/CERTIFICATE directories.

I suspect that doing it this way will be a whole lot less work than doing any of the other things you mentioned above.

I'll look at allowing menu creation for single file imports.

Then I'm confused by the operation. Full Backup Mode is the only mode that allows for importing of various types of single video files. At that time, you are then provided the menu editing GUI. In Quick-Play Backup mode, you are not allowed to import files at all. The import selection is grayed out.

So, because of that, I use Full Backup mode in order to import the MKV files that I want on the disc. I then edit the menu contents and it then imports the files and builds the menu. After which it stops. I then burn that BDMV structure. I do not do the backup, as that would recode all of the files. Plus, since what I want is already in the BDMV structure, I do not have to do the backup.

I'm importing MKVs right now and I believe the mode I am in is alternate movie only
I think that Backup Mode and Import function separately

It is hard to think that they function separately, when the Import option is grayed out when you are not in Full Backup mode.

I've just tested
The only time IMPORT is greyed out is on QUICK-PLAY BACKUP
FULL BACKUP / MOVIES & MENU /MOVIE ONLY / ALTERNATE BACKUP not greyed out

You can IMPORT and then change your back up mode prior to "encoding"

Thanks.Importing isn't a backup mode of any kind. That's why it's under the FILE menu, not MODE. It is simply taking files and converting them into a BD structure so it can later be backed up and made BD compliant (thus the term "pseudo structure") in whatever mode you select. The only reason you can't be in Quick-Play mode during an import is because importing uses quick-play to create the structure and menus resulting in a conflict.

As you know I had posted last week about failed to retrieve audio errors. Since then I have tried everything I can think of re-riped files from Anydvd to the hard drive (multiple times of the same movies which were store bought). Tried ripping Blu-Ray folders even ISO's. Tried BD-9 and BD-25 and the BD Quick BD-25. Freed up Hard drive. Run virus scan and defragement. Tried different versions of BD Rebuilder. Even tried on a different computer, which had never had the program on it before. To see if it's the computer or the OS. Both are two different OS's. I just tried to process a Blu-Ray that previously worked fine, since I knew it was okay before. I did it both Folder and ISO. But now the same result. Please help.

Please excuse my lack of knowledge. Can You please explain and what I can check or try. I tried multiple titles. I also tried another title while I was waiting on a reply and got the buffering in that one two. Before these two (as you can see in previous post from last week), I did not receive that error. Which is the first time I have seen that error. Before it would be Sometimes failed to receive video or Sometimes to retrieve audio (October 6th) with nothing about buffering. You can see that on my post on October 10th (just one of my post) it says failed to re encode. And nothing about buffering. All with different titles that I purchased.

Are you positive the version of TSMUXER in the TOOLS folder hasn't changed? That is an error that I remember happening on some older versions of TSMUXER, but I haven't seen it in a long time.

I haven't changed anything after the unzipped file. How can I check to see what version of TSMUXER is present and what should it be?

You can try eac3to with one of its GUIs to demux the streams.
See if it lists any errors
