BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[MrVideo]

There is an upper limit of 910 on MENU_VERTICAL and MENU_TOP, I'm guessing that's your issue?
Yes, it is. OK, I'm reworking the background image so that I won't run into this issue.

Thanks for the info.

Using Frim Encoder for MVC encoding with BD-RB on a 16-core AMD system results in very similar processing speed with the same encoding settings as a 4-core Intel system. I am using software encoding/decoding setting within the Intel system as well of course. When changed to x264 the speed difference between the two systems expanded roughly as per the core counts. Any idea? When using AMD systems with Frim Encoder is it the correct behaviour or should I set up something specifically?

Thanks for the support.

@mparade
Did you set the number of free processors in the hidden opts?
I'm using an Intel system as well, but with Frim the CPU usage is almost about 60%.
I think there's no advantage in it using more than 6 cores, so I set the
the number of free processors to 2. I'm working with an i7-4790K, witch has 8 Cores in HT.

[mparade]

No.

I have an Intel i5 system (with Nvidia Geforce 1080Ti card installed) and an AMD Ryzen 1950X System (with Nvidia Geforce 1050Ti card intalled). Using Frim with exactly the same settings the encoding time on both nearly the same.
I suspect that the more powerful video card can compensate for the less of CPU cores.


Thank you for the answer.

Hi jdobbs,

I think I found a bug in the forced-sub-extraction-routine.
I'm doing alternate output into mp4 container.

First my understanding how it is designed:
During extraction step all sub tracks are demuxed. If FORCED_SUB_LANG (DEU;GER in my case) is set this or these sub streams are scanned for forced subs following this order and stream number down.
If forced subs are found they'll be put into the 9999 stream. And these come only from 1(!) stream.

Now I have a multipart source (Hancock) which has unfortunately forced subs in 2 GER subs streams (normal & director's comments). I think that's legal because always one is hidden in two different playlists. But that is not respected by BDRB (good idea btw).
Obviously the same approach as above takes place here. On each part of the multipart source the subs are scanned and the forced ones are extracted.
But in some parts the normal stream has no forced subs, but the director's comments has and those are now in the 9999 file.

A possible solution could be to remember the sub stream number from the first part where ALL forced subs were extracted to a 9999 file and to use only this stream for searching forced subs or to disable a stream completely from the stream tab. While writing I think the latter is a bad idea because I don't know if I need to keep a track before BDRD demuxed it and I can analyse it.

I hope you could follow my attempt to explain it.

If case you have an idea for a workaround I'm also fine with it as it seems to be a very rare case.

Thanks in advance,

ggtop

I had to revise my last post ( #27404 ) because it was flawed. I forgot to change the keyboard language on my smartphone and did not read it carefully ... :-P
You are certainly right with your assumption about the interaction between CPU utilization and graphics card. I've seen it with me when I exchanged the very old 760GTX for the 1060 with 6GB memory.
My suggestion: Use a tool that shows the CPU usage during the encode. Depending on how tall you are, you can try to work with more cores. If you stay well below 100%, that only makes sense for multitasking during the encode.
I hope that helps you find an answer!

[mparade]

Yes and thank you very much. I will check both my CPU and GPU utilization during both Frim and x264 in BD-RB. I guess using x264 it will be very close to 100%, and it might be much lower using Frim.

Any particular reason why BDRB wants to error out when trying to convert M2TS files that were created with tsmuxer? All BDRB indicates is that it has an error. No reason given. If I take that same M2TS file and create a MKV file, BDRB has no issue with it. BDRB has not liked any of the M2TS files that I've created with tsmuxer. Curious.

I know this doesn't answer what you are asking, but since you are using TSMuxer to create the m2ts file in the first place, why not simply create the full BDMV folder instead and then use that as input into BDRB...? Because, I'm GUESSING that when you try to import an m2ts file into BDRB, it is going to create one anyway, right?

BD Master Toolkit experienced an error 4000 (17:16:53)
Create Quick Menu() 00076 4000
During: Building menu structure [1]
Current progress 98.90%

Any update as to why this error is occurring when trying to build multi-page menus? Only happens under Win7-64. The last one that I was working with, worked under XP-64.

The last one that I was working with, worked under XP-64.All I can say is that the error means "Path not found". I can't repeat the error and I don't remember any other reports of it, so I'm not sure what I can do.

[Ch3vr0n]

Any news on that test build @jdobbs with that hidden option for 3D we discussed?

All I can say is that the error means "Path not found".
So much for Win7 being a "better" OS than the previous versions. :( Why it wants to screw up when trying to do the 2nd menu set of files is beyond me, considering when it had no problem with the paths for all of the previous files.

Probably also explains the "permission" error I get every now and then, i.e., trying to create a directory/file.

For these two errors (and also HDD full), how about adding a dialog box that reports the actual error and an option to "try again?" Having to start over wastes a lot of time.

Leave it to my combination of hardware and Win7 to come up with these errors.

UPDATE: No mater how many times that I rerun this particular job, it always fails trying to build the 2nd menu. If it were an intermittent W7 thing, then it should work the next time around. It doesn't. There has to be a way to troubleshoot this.

As a side note, when doing one of the runs on the XP-64 box, I got a file not found error. Re-running it had no errors. Also, when running out of HDD space, BDRB does not handle that gracefully. It gives errors while processing files. For example, with MKVs, it complains about inconsistencies and tries to correct them, only to fail. It took a while before I noticed that I was running out of space.

I used the new DTS Express switch to backup Star Trek The Original Series season 1 disc 1. The disc uses seamless branching and has a PIP for commentary.

The CPI definitely gets changed by the DTS-Express code. When the DTS Express is added to the M2TS the SPN values change and the table has to be updated. I'll look and see if there is something goofy happening there. The fact that there is PiP and Angles might make a difference.

Hi everyone... having a weird problem with this series as well. Not sure if the above from a while back have anything to do with it but... a couple episodes have PiP/dts express and the rest don't. They all include DTS-MA 7.1 audio which is overkill in my opinion, so I uncheck the Keep HD Audio for BD25 intact and check Do Not convert DTS to AC3 so it keeps the DTS core (@768k in this case).

Problem is BDRebuilder is not using the DTS core soundtrack and leaving the DTS-MA intact. Also when trying to play the Corbomite Maneuver with the original graphics from the beginning, it starts about 10 minutes in and freezes, having to go back to the main menu. The same episode with updated graphics plays fine, albeit with the DTS-MA audio rather than the core.

Any ideas? Thanks for any help you can provide... ;^)

Sub-title forced not forcing sub-title to be on. The MediaInfo that comes with v25 shows that sub-title track #3 is forced=yes. Yet, when playing the video, no sub-title track is on. Track #3 must be manually enabled in the BD player.

@jdobbs

Do you plan importing 4K HDR material as well with the next release for alternate output?


Thank you very for this wonderful software.

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

I have been using BDRebuilder a lot, and I recently started using it to put multiple episodes of TV shows from DVD onto one BD. I copy the DVDs to my HDD as MKV files and then import the MKV files into BDRebuilder, but when I do, they come over without any subs. I presume there is some setting that I have set incorrectly, but I've looked through them all and can't figure it out.

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

[Ch3vr0n]

Well first thing you'd need to do is find out whether bdrb "is to blame" or your mkv conversion suite. You need to first find out if the MKV's have the desired subtitles or not, because if they don't that's your problem and bdrb can't use what isn't there.

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

I use MakeMKV to rip the discs, and all the subtitles are in those MKV files.

SMK

[musiclover]

Why make use of mkv as intermediary? You can import the dvd's as is.

[Sharc]

Yes, but the DVD needs to be decrypted. I understand the OP used MakeMKV to decrypt the DVD source.

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

Correct. Also, the one time I tried directly using a ripped DVD, I couldn't figure out how to put episodes from more than one DVD together because the VOB files are all named the same.

SMK

[jdobbs]

SMKYou name them when they are imported.

[MrVideo]

And you know that how?

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

You name them when they are imported.

My understanding is that BDRebuilder will only import files that are in the same folder. How can I put VOB files from multiple DVDs in one folder as they will all have the same names there???

SMK

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

And you know that how?

Because if I play those MKV files on my computer with either VLC or MPC the subtitles are all listed, and I can choose any of them, and they appear on screen. Also, if I use multiAVCHD, those subtitles are in the m2ts files it creates. I prefer to use BDRebuilder, but I've been using multiAVCHD for these discs just for that reason.

SMK

[Ch3vr0n]

Your understanding is wrong. It's simple. Just create a root folder like:

DVDs
-- DVD1
---- VIDEO_TS
-- DVD2
---- VIDEO_TS
-- DVD3
---- VIDEO_TS

and point BDRB to the DVD's folder, it will do the rest

Yeah, sometimes when you haven't done it before, it takes a moment to grasp that. You do the same when importing multiple BDMV folders too. I do that sometimes when I don't want to do the whole disc, but I want the main movie file and some Xtras. So, each BDMV / CERT folder is in it's OWN folder which is titled whatever it is, then all of those folders you group within one master folder, which is the one you import into BDRB. So, as shown above, in my case there is usually the main movie folder with it's name, then 1 folder for each Xtra with it's title with it's own BDMV / CERT folders inside. Then, you just put all those folders into the mother folder above it. I usually just leave the mother folder as 'New Folder' because the name doesn't get used anywhere, and then import that mother folder into BDRB.

Then BDRB allows you to rename each folder if you wish before it imports them into a completed BDMV / CERT final folder which incorporates all the other folders along with a nice menu inside.

***EDIT

Also, when using BDMV folders as mentioned above, I THINK that the running time is included with each 'title' that you import. So, if you don't have enough room to hold the full title AND running times, you can edit those before BDRB imports them. I'm guessing that the same is true with DVDs...

[MrVideo]

Because if I play those MKV files on my computer with either VLC or MPC the subtitles are all listed, and I can choose any of them, and they appear on screen.
For trouble-shooting purposes, I had to ask. It is always a good idea to provide said proof when making a claim.

I have been using BD Rebuilder for a long time. Suddenly I am getting this error "BD Master Toolkit experienced an error 2301". on all BDs that I try to compress movie only. I reinstalled BD Rebulder and LAV filters but that did not help. I searched this thread for the 2301 error but couldn't anything. Any ideas?

Any ideas?I'd need the entire message. 2301 is where the error occurred, not the error number.

I need to change that "BD Master Toolkit" text, it just confuses people. I was going to create a set of DLLs that could be linked into another program and I changed the text on the error handler. I forgot to change it back.
