BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[MrVideo]

- Added code to import routines to handle
EAC3/DD+ sources. Requires LAV Filters
or FFDSHOW be installed.
I thought I had FFDSHOW installed. Guess not.
I don't see "- LAVFILTERS: Ok" in your INSPECT report.
Why not? It is installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory.

Do you plan to support 4K main10 mkv sources?
Currently, it seems that BD-RB doesn't support this format yet or I may have missed something.

thank you for your help.

Think about it. 4K is not part of the Blu-ray disc specification, so what is BDRB supposed to do with 4K videos (other than to recode them down to 1080p)? jdobbs is going to have to come up with a UHDRB program in order to author content in the new specification. That also means getting a UHD burner and player.

Those are my thoughts on the situation.

Sorry, it was my mistake. I didn't specify my question in details. The simple function I would be interested in at the moment is to import a file above HD resolution then reencoding it via a preset (with parameters set in the txt file coming with BD-RB) then output it as an alternate movie only output (e.g. mkv). It can be done since years now in BD-RB excluding files with resolution and bit depth above HD as far as I know. A lot of program can do it but I prefer BD-RB.

[MrVideo]

Ah, OK. But still, that isn't the goal of BDRB. The idea is to take a Blu-ray and convert a BD50 to a BD25, or take the BD as input to put the movie into a MKV wrapped file, or take MKV files and author them into a Blu-ray. To take a 4K video and wrap it into a MKV file (I'm guessing 4K -> 1080p), is not within the scope of BDRB. As you said, other programs can to that.

Again, my thoughts on the matter. I could be way off base, or maybe not.

Oh no... no way... not possible... not a chance... NEVER happen... http://lathe-of-heaven.com/rolleyes2.gif

My Sharp LED HDTV croaked today. This is way off topic except related to MKV through BD-RB, I know, and do NOT wish or want to start any debates or arguments and some of you keep tabs on the HDTVs stuff very well. Anyone know of a good new one that plays MKV containers via USB? I'm 40 to 55". I don't care about beyond 1080p, nor do I care about 3D. Perhaps one that displays PGS as well as SRT? I'm looking around also, but...curious if anyone here has noticed something cool? Around 300 to 600 dollars would be ok. I'd order local, probably Wal-Mart Online ship to store. Not all of them indicate on the box..

My old Sharp would sometimes jitter with some 1080p's...and I had to rerender them with same resolution for that to not happen. I think today's would be better at displaying.

[MrVideo]

I suggest sending AmigaFuture a PM if you have a suggestion.

@ staina RE: "Use X264s internal LAVF for frame serving" during processing occurred error.
Like I posted above: The simplest way to fix MOST BD Rebuilder problems is to re-move and re-install BD Rebuilder and ALL the helper programs from the FIRST page following all the instructions carefully.

Re-move and re-install BD Rebuilder and ALL the helper programs I'm performed and error always lasts. Error detect always, but only near some movies e.g . Fast & Furious 8. With other option Decoding/Frame serving I'm video without problems processed.

I want therefore ask what is difference between these options for Decoding/Frame serving and if have some influence on quality final videos?

Use would other option if would know as though hasn't influence on quality final videos.

Thank you staina

[worknstiff]

@ staina; RE: influence on quality final videos.

I can't really say I've seen any difference in quality. I only use internal LAVF for frame serving, and FRIM if I do 3D. I do know you can't use DGDecNV unless you buy it, and as far as I KNOW there is no quality difference in which one you use since it's only feeding the x264 encoder or FRIME the frames. YMMV and I'm sure some versions are faster but I don't think quality is affected, unless you change the encoder speed setting to use the Good, Better or leave it on the Default High Quality 2 Pass, which is what I use. The size of what you are encoding and encoding it down to is what effects QUALITY more than the encoder used, I THINK.

Yep... same as above...

Also, if you WISH to do so, you can add x264 command line 'Tweaks' very easily in BDRB as long as you kind of know what you are doing. This can 'tweak' the quality a bit more if you want. Otherwise, just as the fellow said, HQ 2 pass LAVF basically does it, especially if you are going to a BD-25.

But, then again, as many say here (along with The Creator JD) if you just leave it on 'Auto' BDRB will find the 'best' balance between speed/quality. BUT... like some of us here, if you wanna squeeze a bit more or depending on the type of film / source, you can use the higher settings above.

[AmigaFuture]

I suggest sending AmigaFuture a PM if you have a suggestion.

That was the aim, mate. I should have worded it a little differently.

[AmigaFuture]

JD, I think I found a bug. I haven't done MKV to MP4 conversion in a long time. Or BD to Alternate MP4... At the moment, I'm checking MKV to MP4.

Imported some new and older MKVs. The MKVs contain SUP and SRT. During every import, whether with SUP and SRT they all show as Subtitles in BD-RB GUI. However, looking at WORKFILES, all are seen as SUPs. Not a single SRT is found.

A created MP4 from that results, of course in not having SRT access. Perhaps have a look-see?

I do not have SupTitle or Convert PGS to SRT active.

Trying to search this multi-page thread is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I'm trying to find the option definitions for ONEPASS_ENCODING. The default is 2. I have no idea what 0, 1 or 2 define. The hiddenoptions text file doesn't have it listed.

It seems that 2 = 1 pass encoding. I need 2 pass encoding.

Thanks.

Thanks.That variable isn't meant to be directly edited. It is modifed from the menu SETTINGS/ENCODER SETTINGS. If it is set to "0" then one pass is disabled (2-pass encoding). If set to "1" then CRF encoding is used. If set to "2" then one-pass ABR encoding is used.

But in the Workfiles only have 5 SUPs. The SRT's are being converted for PSEUDO.The BD standard doesn't allow SRT subs, so when the SRT subs are imported they are converted to SUP. But... BD-RB retains them (as SRTs) in the PSEUDO folder. If you select to keep one of the SRT subs, and you output to MKV or MP4, BD-RB will use the SRT from PSEUDO.

Try selecting to only keep only the last two subs in the GUI...

Thanks.

At first I didn't see such a setting. On a whim, I clicked on the automatic and opened it again and there they were.

Suggestion: Have all of the settings below automatic there, but grayed out. Then, when the automatic is turned off, they are no longer grayed out (without the dialog box going away).

@jdobb:
Any idea as to why BDRB is not seeing the LAVfilter install?

[jdobbs]

I thought I had FFDSHOW installed. Guess not.

Why not? It is installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) directory.Did you use the recommended version from the first post? When LAV Filters are correctly installed, the registry is updated. BD Rebuilder looks for this registry entry to see if it is installed (64 bit):

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{278407C2-558C-4BED-83A0-B6FA454200BD}\InprocServer32

For a 32 bit system it is:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{278407C2-558C-4BED-83A0-B6FA454200BD}\InprocServer32

It does the same for the LAV splitter.

Both are there and the default entry contains:
C:\Program Files (x86)\LAV Filters\x86\LAVVideo.ax
When does it look for the entry?

[MrVideo]

I've discovered that BDRB can handle H.264/4.2.2 videos and when the Backup is done, the recoding is done at H.264/4.2.0, which allows me to edit the files with VideoReDo.

But, I've run into an issue. The CW promo feed from 9/11 has no issues. But 24 hrs later, the CW promo feed is considered to be VFR, when in fact it is not. Both files are from the same satellite transponder, which is up 24/7.

I have no idea how to keep BDRB from scanning for VFR, as it is getting false positives.

BTW, the filenames are getting truncated. They should end in "-422".

Added: No matter what the filename is, the last character is being truncated. So filename.ts has a source name of "filenam".

[AmigaFuture]

I wanted to go with something easier. Less SUP or SRT "complicated". So, I picked a movie I've merged only 1 SRT for. I kept the 1st Subtitle enabled.

So the SRT is being converted into SUP which isn't what I want. A great idea otherwise. But shouldn't Tesseract be enabled for that to happen?

[AmigaFuture]

Ha....I had forgotten.......that MP4Box doesn't deal with VC1. Or rather, MP4 doesn't allow for VC1. Those have to be converted. Next is SUP. SUPs are ignored by MP4. Which is why every time I check a finished project Subtitles of any kind are empty. Unsure why BD-RB is converting SRT to SUP.

[AmigaFuture]

I decided to switch to MKV & import. I'm well aware that I didn't have to switch BD-RB first, but...

Hellooo, hello everyone. I've switched over to MKVs for a bit since I know that accepts, or should, everything. I attempted to convert one of my MKV Movies, which the name doesn't matter, that has 2 PGS and 1 SRT. I've enabled all Subtitles in BD-RB's GUI. The output MKV only has SRT in it. I confirmed this with MKVmerge GUI and MPC-HC. Checking more files.

I confirmed this with MKVmerge GUI and MPC-HC. Checking more files.BD-RB doesn't add PGS streams to MKV files. About all it will do with a PGS (to an MKV) is attempt to create an SRT from it (but it is limited).

[AmigaFuture]

I know BD-RB doesn't add them. But could have been a typo in the BD-RB code that passes the info to mkvmerge. I'm checking with a little older version of mkvmergeerge see if that "fixes" what I've noticed.

[MrVideo]

@jdobbs: any ideas regarding the two issues that I have open?

I'm checking with a little older version of mkvmerge/extract see if that "fixes" what I've noticed.Assuming MKVMERGE accepts PGS streams, I'll add a hidden option that instructs BD-RB to keep selected PGS streams as-is (when SupTitle() conversion isn't selected, and the original stream wasn't SRT).

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs: any ideas regarding the two issues that I have open?Not sure what to do. LAVF seems to be working ok for me. As for the VFR scanning, you might try setting IMPORT_VFR_SCAN=0 in your INI -- but it should default to "0" anyway unless it has been changed.. If, though, MEDIAINFO identifies the frame rate as "Variable" -- it will do it anyway.

Okie-dokie. It does since the GUI passes all into to merge.

I thought BD-RB had been passing PGS (SUP) and SRT to MKV all along, but no. I had been converting my BD's to MKV and disc for a while, as well as importing MKVs to make BDs to get around Cinivia and other stuff. Not noticing SRT wasn't being retained but converted. OOps! Usually I'm more astute than that. Hmm..

May I sneak in *hehe hehe* a request? Mark SRTs as SRT in the GUI rather than PGS_XXX_Language? Like SRT_XXX_Language? That way we all know which is which, from beginner to advanced users?

[AmigaFuture]

Coming back to this.. This would mean SRT is still converted to SUP...even if keeping SRT is the desire for MKV import to be converted to MKV again OR MP4. MP4 rejects PGS streams but not SRT. If a corrected SRT is used, why have to convert it again?

That is what my recently checking was for. To keep SRT from either within the MKV container or outside of it but have it retained and usable with MKV/MP3 alternate. I prefer within, because some of my backups have multiple SRTs.

[MrVideo]

Not sure what to do. LAVF seems to be working ok for me.
Just when is the check for LAV install done?
As for the VFR scanning, you might try setting IMPORT_VFR_SCAN=0 in your INI -- but it should default to "0" anyway unless it has been changed.. If, though, MEDIAINFO identifies the frame rate as "Variable" -- it will do it anyway.
It is in my INI and it is set to 0. As can seen by the posting, the Mediainfo output shows no variable frame rate. I just ran the Mediainfo that is in your Tools directory and it shows the exact same results as the version I am using, i.e., no VFR.

I can send you a small sample that you can look at.

I wouldn't mind so much if the resulting file was 29.97fps interlaced, but it comes out as 59.94 fps. Each frame is duplicated.

Maybe a IMPORT_VFR_SCAN=2 setting where it means do not do VFR checking under any circumstances.

Thank for fixed and new release. Staina

Are you overclocked? That's usually the reason for an X264 crash. If so, slow down the clock a little and try again.

[jdobbs]

Just when is the check for LAV install done?At startup, and again anytime you save and exit from the "View/Edit Config File" menu option.

It also checks:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Wow6432Node\CLSID\{171252A0-8820-4AFE-9DF8-5C92B2D66B04}\InprocServer32

or

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{171252A0-8820-4AFE-9DF8-5C92B2D66B04}\InprocServer32

(depending on 32/64 bit Windows) to make sure the LAV Splitter is installed.

[jdobbs]

May I sneak in *hehe hehe* a request? Mark SRTs as SRT in the GUI rather than PGS_XXX_Language? Like SRT_XXX_Language? That way we all know which is which, from beginner to advanced users?That's kinda' correct, but not completely. Yes, SRTs are converted to SUP (so they are BD compliant) during import into the PSEUDO-BD folder. But... the original SRT is retained as well (in the PSEUDO folder). Then when you run a ALTERNATE job (to make an MKV) against the PSEUDO-BD folder, BD-RB recognizes that an SRT exists and adds it to the MKV. MKV players like SRT subtitles, but most won't recognize PGS streams (there are probably some that do, but I'm not familiar with them).

I was just going through the code and noticed something... I already added the option to keep the SUPs some time ago apparently (long enough [2012] that I didn't remember it). Look at this option in HIDDENOPTS.TXT:

MKV_MUXSUPS=n n = 0/1 - If set to "1" (default), ALTERNATE/MKV output will include selected .SUP subtitles

It started defaulting to "1" in 2013, so by default the selected SUPs should be included in the MKV file... :o

I think I did it so that an MKV file created with BD-RB could later be imported to BD without losing the original subtitles.

Is there a test version I can run, or set up some added debugging info?

Try right-clicking on BD-RB and "Run as Administrator". Then do INSPECT again. I'm wondering if it is an access issue.

Not there.
Try right-clicking on BD-RB and "Run as Administrator". Then do INSPECT again. I'm wondering if it is an access issue.
I do not have a separate administrator account on the XP-64 box. But, doing this shows that the current user is administrator. I unchecked the run with restricted rights and it did not make a difference.

UPDATE: For shits-and-grins, I installed LAV Filters, AVISynth 2.6.0 and BDRB 24 on the Win7-64 box. When BDRB started it complained about the LAV filters not being configured correctly. Once I let it configure it, it shows up in the inspection list.

Could this be an issue with the XP-64 install, since I installed the LAV filters after BDRB and therefore it didn't get to configure it the way you need it configured?

[MrVideo]

OK, I ran the file with DD+ thru BDRB on the Win7 box and it is not doing as expected, which explains why the XP-64 version is doing what it is trying to do (without the LAV filters).

BDRB is supposed to leave the DD+ audio alone during the first stage, where it builds the BDRB structure. Instead it is converting EAC3 to AC3. That is not what we wanted.

Do not convert DD+ to AC3 until the Backup stage is run.

If you leave the DD+ alone, i.e., just copy it over, then I suspect that the XP-64 version will not error out because LAV wasn't there.

Please don't say that you need to convert DD+ because it isn't Blu-ray compliant. Well, neither can videos be compliant and those are left alone until Backup time. I know, I've imported some videos that my Blu-ray player would not play and I dealt with that.

Not overclocked. Standard clock for Ryzen 5 1600X.

[jdobbs]

BDRB is supposed to leave the DD+ audio alone during the first stage, where it builds the BDRB structure.Not true. It can't leave it alone, because it isn't compliant (it doesn't have a core). There are lots and lots of dependencies based on that -- and I'd have to rewrite a significant amount of code to cover all the bases. I'm not willing to do that just so someone can keep a non-compliant EAC3 rather than a compliant AC3 stream.Please don't say that you need to convert DD+ because it isn't Blu-ray compliant.Sorry... my program, my rules.

[jdobbs]

Not overclocked. Standard clock for Ryzen 5 1600X.Is it possible the source is corrupt? X264 is pretty rock-solid -- I would suspect almost anything else first.
