BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Blurayhd]

You are confusing me. What is your goal? Why are you doing this? Are you targeting HDD, BD25 or BD50?

Thank you for tell me that,

1) I have a movie that is in UHD

2) as my tv led doesnt play UHD, just Full hd (I love it) I want to convert this movie to Full hd

3)As Always do I want to set Bd rebuilder for do that job but I want to get the best quality just like any BD50

4) for that I just like to know what number put in CRF option?

[Lathe]

Do you mean performed by any chance?

Heh... Who the hell do you think you are, Mr. Video??! :D

If your end goal is to make a BD25 why not skip all the in betweens and start directly making a BD25 with BD-Rebuilder? BD-Rebuilder will give you the best quality that will fit on a BD25 disc. All your steps in between only make the quality worse.

Thank you again Musiclover and you right and that is the best option but I just dont know how to do that? I mean, if you dont mind of course what are the steps? I have to import the MKV file that contains the uhd with audio files and subtitles?

If you dont mind could you tell me the steps?

1. Import the video file
2. Set mode to full backup
3. Set encoder to high quality or highest quality
4. Set target size to bd-25
5. Click the backup button

[MrVideo]

I'm not sure if I've requested this or not, so I'll just do it, just in case I hadn't.

Allow for more characters in a menu item.

I've run into some show episode titles that are too long. And yet there is plenty of room on the screen, I only ever do a single column. Maybe a hidden menu option:
MENU_NUMBER_COLUMS=0 Max number menu item colums: 0=as needed (default). Setting to 1 will allow for more characters in the menu item. The more columns allowed, the less numbers of characters per menu item.

Ya, I got beaten to the punch (not beaten to a pulp :eek: ).

Well, the night is still young...

[worknstiff]

I was just wondering if it's my system or has anyone else been having problems down-converting TrueHD 7.1 (ATMOS) audio to DD 640K? The last couple of Blu's (Aquaman, Fantastic Beasts Grindelwald) have down-converted ok EXCEPT it ended up with 448K, NOT 640K even with all the audio switches unchecked. Perhaps I just need to reinstall everything if I'm the only one with this problem. Thanks

[gonca]

@worknstiff
Re Aquaman movie
448K is the core bit rate of the THD track, maybe the core is being extracted and the audio is not being converted

[jdobbs]

@worknstiff
Re Aquaman movie
448K is the core bit rate of the THD track, maybe the core is being extracted and the audio is not being convertedYep. There's only two ways it could happen. Either the core is kept at 448Kbs, in which case reencoding to 640Kbs would actually reduce the quality -- or the selection to encode at 448Kbs is selected in the AUDIO ENCODING OPTIONS checkbox of the SETUP dialog.

If the core is 448Kbs you should see the track PID and language followed by "Keeping original core audio" displayed in the log.

[worknstiff]

@ jdobbs; RE: "Keeping original core audio" displayed in the log.

These "ATMOS" TrueHD 7.1's are really becoming a real pain. This is what mediainfo says about the Crimes Grindelwald track is:

: D:\WORKING\WORKFILES\00018.track_4352.ac3
Format : TrueHD / AC-3
File size : 3.87 GiB
Duration : 2h 35mn
Overall bit rate : 448 Kbps

One is 8 channels / and the other 6 channels, BUT BOTH are only 448k. So much for high definition audio. I guess I am going to have to get a bigger disk, lol.

Thanks for the help, gonca, jdobbs.

[sneaker_ger]

448 kbps is obviously only the core bitrate like jdobbs already said. 3.87 GiB for 2h 35mn is something like 3575 kbps (file size = bitrate * duration). 3575 kbps - 448 kbps core = 3127 kbps for TrueHD/Atmos part.

[worknstiff]

Yes I understand that part but it seems like we are being short changed when it splits out the TrueHD 7.1 core out of the complete ATMOS stream, and it is only at 448, instead of the usual 640 core. Guess it is my irrational mind thinking it is less than what we used to get, lol.

As an after thought I can "process" this same disk with CloneBD and it will down convert to DD5.1 640k. Is it just playing with my head by changing it or does it magically get me the 640k out of thin air?

[sneaker_ger]

TrueHD 7.1 isn't 448 kbps (except in edge cases), only the AC3/DD 5.1 core is 448 kbps. AFAIK as I know that's legal and simply a decision made be the authoring house.

You can of course convert the TrueHD to AC3/DD 640 kbps if you want to. Maybe that's what CloneBD does. If the quality of your AC3 encoder is much/any better at 640 kbps than the authoring house's AC3 encoder at 448 kbps is a different question. You probably won't hear a difference.

A free and very useful program to use to convert audio streams is UsEac3to (the GUI) just drop the movie file into it, select the 'True' stream, and choose your output. If you have the Surecode encoder installed, you can even convert it to DTS @1536 if you want :)

[jdobbs]

I can probably add a hidden option that will force a new AC3 encode @640Kbs using the TrueHD as it's source if the core is 448Kbs. But, as sneaker_ger said, I'm not sure whether a reencode at 640Kbs would provide a noticeable improvement over the studio authored 448Kbs. Probably so, but I think few people could tell the difference.

A guess might be that they are using the 448Kbs audio that is used in their DVD authoring as their core (since that's the max rate for DVD).

Another guess might be that they are purposely trying to make the TrueHD sound superior to what it truly is by creating a core that would be less than perfect for comparison. Tests have shown that a DD AC3 encode at 640Kbs is indistinguishable from the a lossless original in double-blind tests. Tricks like that aren't unusual. What you typically see is the volume level increased in "HD" audio (compared to standard encode) so people think they are hearing a difference that really isn't there (at least to the human ear).

Let's not jump to conclusions my Great Northern, Moose loving friend...

I am trying to import 27 files. BDRB gets to the 16th and bombs (no files on system to see why). Ahha you say, duff mkv files. Not so, because if I import either 1 - 15 or 16-27 everything works. There is also enough disc space ~700gb

Anyone have any ideas as to why I should get this error (note files 1 -15 generate the same log info);

- [19:05:43] Importing video file: (15 of 27)

- Collecting audio/video streams from source...

I am sure that there is a simple explanation, I just can't think of it.

Many apologies. 16 of 27 has a problem and I must have messed up when importing 16-27 and actually missed 16. Still not sure what's wrong with it as it looks OK. I will have to recreate it.

OK I found the problem. BDRB does not like right single quotation mark (’) in the file name

Not true, sort-of. I just imported a file with the ' character. I suspect that it is the ' character in the upper character set, not the ' in the lower character set.

True. I suspect that it applies to the left single quote mark also. Probably a UNIX thing as Windows doesn't seem to have a problem

I'm sure I'm just being stupid, but I hope someone can help me put multiple DVDs onto one BD. I want to put all the episodes of a TV show onto one BD with only one menu and all the episodes numbered with direct access to them. That is, if there are 9 episodes on 3 DVDs, I want to import this to a BD which will have one menu indicating 9 episodes. I asked about this about a year ago (page 1372) and was told I should create the following files on my computer:

Title
-- DVD1
---- VIDEO_TS
-- DVD2
---- VIDEO_TS
-- DVD3
---- VIDEO_TS

and point BDRB to the title folder, and "it will do the rest."

I have tried this multiple ways, and this is what happens. If I just use the "browse" button for the source and navigate to the Title folder, it gives me an error "source not in BD format." I understand that, because it obviously isn't. If I navigate to disc 1, I get an error that it is in DVD format and asks if I want to import it as a BD folder.

If I just use the "Import" button in "file" choosing "import DVDs" and navigate to the Title folder, I get an error that the files are not in DVD format. It requires me to navigate to disc x and it will import just those 3 episodes. I can do it for each disc folder, but I just end up with files for 3 BDs.

I've tried "Import to batch." Then it just allows me to put the 3 imported discs into the batch section, and if I ask it to "process batch" it does, but it does all 3 discs independently again ending up with 3 different BDs worth of files not one BD.

I have tried using "import" or "import batch" and when navigating to the disc folders trying shift or control to select more than one disc. It does not allow me to do so.

So, obviously I am doing something really stupid. Please let me know what to do.

Thanks.

I've used BD_Rebuilder to do this very thing BUT I always use BD_Rebulder to import "each" disk. I use the import while paying close attention to the name and runtime of each episode. After BD_Rebuilder completes and waits for you to click backup then close it and remove the new BD from the "import" folder. Move it some where else and then do each of your following disks you want to import. Next put all the new BD folders into one folder and have BD_Rebuilder import them all using the "Quickplay" backup under the Mode button.. I usually do a custom size of 50,000 MB's and have it import them all and test the playback after it finishes creating the new BD_Folder. After I check that all the episodes and names are correct I move the folder else where and have BD_Rebuilder compress it down to a 25GB BD-R. Hope this helps.

ISSUES with AQUAMAN as well: Probably not a bug, having issues with Aquaman 1080. Im not even using the atmos stream but the DTS-HD 5.1. It rips fine watched to make sure full 2hrs 23 min there at 26GB (BTW titles with "full movie" are 2 and 222, DVDFAB chose 2) however i usually put my stuff on BD25, so im used to doing this, literally done it 500+ times. Anyway, i think it may be a tsmux issue? Because both BDrebuilder & tsmuxer gui reencode it "successfully" but always cut off at same point at 2 hour, cutting off end of movie and reports no errors, issues. With tsmuxerGUI its says successful even though its 82.5%. BDrebuilder behaves like normal success except movie is at cut at 2hr mark as well. Use X264 LAVF, custom target 23866MB (like i always do), BD25fast encoding option. I'll admit it's been a year or more since ive ripped/reencoded on a regular basis, now like 2-3 a year. Missing something simple I forgot about?

BTW the workfiles look correct size 20.6gb VID_00018.AVS.264 and around 1.5 gb DTS, so I think around restructure/remux somethings happening.

(PS output files aren't on FAT drive btw hahaha)

I'll try to rerip it even though i watched the original rip and it played fine, if there's any input in the mean time great :)

Pointing to the "title" is indeed correct. I just did it by copying over the VIDEO_TS directories into two separate directories and BDRB showed me all of the videos on the discs, allowing me to select which ones I wanted to keep. I then imported those.

How did you copy over the VIDEO_TS directories? You have to have a DVD decrypter program running.

Well hopefully you didnt just got it to work, i checked do not convert DTS to AC3 and it worked (and reripped). Of course I generally use AC3 to save space for better video quality on BD25, So basically the rip was bad but not visibly noticeable or the audio stream DTS HD 5.1 (not atmos 7.1) didnt like converting to ac3, but didnt tell me it didnt like it.

Well, I guess I was doing something dumb, though I didn't realize it at the time. When I use BD Rebuilder, I make a new folder called 'new folder' that I put in the same directory as the original title, so I don't get mixed up about which files belong to which movie. I guess that BD Rebuilder saw this empty folder and thought it didn't contain any DVD files and gave me the error message. I just tried it with removing the empty folder, and it worked.

Thanks for all your help.

[Blurayhd]

Hi Jdobbs time ago I asked how to encode some MKV movies to a one BD/25 BD50 with some menu so I can select the movie

You told me this:

1. Put the files into a folder together and name the folder (the name you want for your BD).
2. Use the IMPORT function from the FILE menu.
3. Choose the files you want to import.
4. Edit the popup list to give each the name you want on the menu.
5. Import. This will create a pseudo-BD to use for input.
6. Choose an output size -- and run a full backup.

You will end up with a BD structure that can be burned to a disc that matches your selected output size.

There are other options you can use, such as choosing a background, background sound, fonts, colors, etc.

I so appreciate it I follow every step but I just can´t find the menu option, I mean, I do the 5 step and 6 step and it create the BD50 but in any moment I so the menu option

I tried to played with PowerDVD but it do nothing, I tried too DVDfab player and it shows me just stars but nothing to do, all I wish to know is how to access and edit this Pseudo menu that I can´t find?

please excuse me my Egnslih is not my first language

Edit: Finally I find in settings the Quick settings but like I sayd both player on computer just can´t play it, in a fact can´t show me the menu, I just tried the disc on my Bluray device and works perfectly, but obviously I so wish to change the wallpaper and the font size and colors but I can´t find that options, where are they? and if you don´t mind could you recommend some player for Windows so I´ll can reproduce with menus? Powerdvd can´t show me nothing, DVDfab player same

[HandiA]

Follow up. Any Ideas what's causing the error?

[MrVideo]

There isn't a GUI dialog box where menu stuff is modified. It is all done via the configuration INI file. As a side note, you cannot change the font size. It is fixed. You can change the font family and the colors involved for a non-selected and selected menu item. You can't select the color when you hit enter on the remote to play the selected menu item.

If the first pass pseudo BD structure fits on a BD25, there is no need to do the backup. That avoids a re-encoding of the files, which adds errors to the encoding. The fewer the encodings the better.

Here are some specific items to change/add in the config file:
IMPORT_THRESHOLD=n n = Threshold size (in minutes), default=15, of BD/DVD titles listed for IMPORT selection
MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=s s = YELLOW/BLUE/GREEN/RED/PURPLE/WHITE, Color of active text in menu, default is GREEN
MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR=n n = Custom RGB color. Example: 0x40FF40 (hexadecimal: BBGGRR) or 4259632 (decimal)
MENU_FONT=s s = Any legal font name supported on your computer. Font used for Quick menus. default=Arial
MENU_FONT_BOLD=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", then the selected menu font is set to boldface
MENU_FONT_ITALIC=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", then the selected menu font is set to italic
MENU_FORCE_QUICK=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", create Quick menu even for only one play item
MENU_HORIZONTAL=n n = 0-1919 - Offset from left of 1080p screen for QP menu item selection area (16 items/page max)

Always, I repeat always, burn to a BDRW disc to check that things are the way you want, so you don't end up creating coasters. Also, if you do use the pseudo BD structure, this makes sure that the imported MKV files are playable via your Blu-ray player. Not all MKV H264 included videos are encoded correctly, making them not Blu-ray player compatible. If they won't play, then you must run the Backup pass to fix that issue.

There isn't a GUI dialog box where menu stuff is modified. It is all done via the configuration INI file. As a side note, you cannot change the font size. It is fixed. You can change the font family and the colors involved for a non-selected and selected menu item. You can't select the color when you hit enter on the remote to play the selected menu item.

If the first pass pseudo BD structure fits on a BD25, there is no need to do the backup. That avoids a re-encoding of the files, which adds errors to the encoding. The fewer the encodings the better.

Here are some specific items to change/add in the config file:
IMPORT_THRESHOLD=n n = Threshold size (in minutes), default=15, of BD/DVD titles listed for IMPORT selection
MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=s s = YELLOW/BLUE/GREEN/RED/PURPLE/WHITE, Color of active text in menu, default is GREEN
MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR=n n = Custom RGB color. Example: 0x40FF40 (hexadecimal: BBGGRR) or 4259632 (decimal)
MENU_FONT=s s = Any legal font name supported on your computer. Font used for Quick menus. default=Arial
MENU_FONT_BOLD=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", then the selected menu font is set to boldface
MENU_FONT_ITALIC=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", then the selected menu font is set to italic
MENU_FORCE_QUICK=n n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - if set to "1", create Quick menu even for only one play item
MENU_HORIZONTAL=n n = 0-1919 - Offset from left of 1080p screen for QP menu item selection area (16 items/page max)
MENU_INACTIVE_COLOR=s s = YELLOW/BLUE/GREEN/RED/PURPLE/WHITE, Color of inactive text, defaults to subdued white
MENU_ITEMS_PAGE=n[,n...]n = Items for each page of a quick menu/import. 4 page example: MENU_ITEMS_PAGE=13,5,12,8
MENU_TOP=n n = 100-910 - Offset from top of 1080p screen for QP menu item selection area, default = 200
MENU_VERTICAL=n n = 100-910 - Same as MENU_TOP - if both are used, MENU_TOP has priority
MIN_PLAYLIST_MINS=n n = minimum size (in minutes, default=15) for a playlist to be a movie-only choice

Thank you very much and about encoding I have my mkv movies that the size almost 18gb each one, so I was thinking if I encode maybe three movies to a BD50 and then reencode to BD25 I´ll get the same quality or similar that if I encode a movie BD50 to BD25 just like when I use BD rebuilder?

As an example I´m trying this with the three movies just to BD25 for see what happens

- Input BD size: 44.78 GB
- Approximate total content: [04:27:18.355]
- Target BD size: 22.95 GB

IMHO, the best quality will be achieved by using 2-pass encoding. It will take longer, but I think you'll appreciate the results.

If the first pass pseudo BD structure fits on a BD25, there is no need to do the backup. That avoids a re-encoding of the files, which adds errors to the encoding. The fewer the encodings the better.This assumes that the imported MKV files are Blu-Ray compliant. In my experience the vast majority of MKV files are not, and trying to keep them intact will lead to a lot of wasted time and frustration. I would recommend you plan to ALWAYS reencode unless you have created the MKV files yourself from original blu-ray (or DVD), and they have not been reencoded anywhere in the process.


[Edit] Just a side note -- there are also DVD formats that are not BD compliant, but they are rare enough (almost nonexistent) that you can pretty much ignore that worry.

[MrVideo]

It would be great if BDRB would spit out an error and stop when the following can't be found:
MENU_FONT
MENU_FONT_BOLD
MENU_FONT_ITALIC
The above three should be checked when the program is started, when a config is loaded and when it is changed within the program.

I've just discovered that I typoed a font name as "Gothis" instead of what it should be: "Gothic"

Thanks
