BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Blurayhd]

Hi Guys I doing a copy of my Bluray disc that I have on my collection, just in case because last week I lost several Bluray movies but as I usually do time ago I make a copy from each of them (thank you Jdobbs for that) and another many I just make an MKV with audios and subtitles all just like the Bluray movie contain

So, the think is in my country the Bluray blank disc is very expensive so I wish to pass this MKV movies to a another MKV but this time can get some small archive and with BD rebuilder I tried with 1920x1080, intact audio with CRF setting to 20, all I wish to know is what number of CRF do you recomend for get the best quality maybe I can get but smaller archive?

And I can see there´s an option for encoding the audio to AAC, if I do that, there´s a way to recover from this AAC to the original audio?

Thank you in advance guys!!

What do you mean by "original audio?" Provide examples of types of what you have in the MKV files. For original Blu-ray discs, the audio will the lossless type. DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD.

When creating the MKV files, if you kept the original lossless audio, you will not be able to get that back if you convert to AAC. Even if you kept the lossy core when converting to MKV, converting that to AAC will cause the audio to be even lossier. Especially if you try and go back to DTS or DD. In other words, don't convert to AAC.

Thank you very much for your recomendation, and about the CRF what number to put there?

All this is because I have on my disc several MKVs that previously I make the backup but my budget don´t let me to buy so many Bluray disc, so that MKVs like I said I wish to keep in that way (no problem with that) but if there´s is some option for reduce the size (I know I´ll get less quality than the original) but I have to be there some CRF number so I´ll can keep the most quality as possible?

I mean, in few words? I need this MKVs with the best quality that I can get but reduce the size

And if the MKV I can see some have DTS HD or DTS MA and I don´t need that because I don´t have a system audio, previously eventually I´ll convert that DTS MA to a DTS Core so I can get more video quality

Thank you for your pacience and I know now not AAC but know what CRF will helping me

Video quality is subjective. It is what you'll tolerate.
And if the MKV I can see some have DTS HD or DTS MA and I don´t need that because I don´t have a system audio, previously eventually I´ll convert that DTS MA to a DTS Core so I can get more video quality
I suggest telling BDRB to keep the core, so that it can attempt to figure out the best bitrate.
Thank you for your pacience and I know now not AAC but know what CRF will helping me
I do all of my video encoding outside of BDRB. When I do that, I set the bitrate, not the CRF and use 2-pass encoding. Be sure and tell BDRB to use 2-pass. So, unfortunately I cannot suggest a value.

Are the discs you are attempting to make BD-ROM, i.e., they contain MKV files, or are you making BD discs with a menu? If you are making a disc with menus, then the files on the disc are not MKV, but M2TS. I don't think that BRDB can make BD-ROM discs with MKV files.

Whatever you are using as a source, you should not use MKV, or M2TS, files that have been previously encoded from the original Blu-ray discs. The process of recoding the recoded video will result in added encoding errors. You need to go back to the original Blu-ray discs and work from there.

First Thank you Mrvideo for your big pacience with me I really appreciate it

About MKVs each one without nothing, just the movie

And I really want to do that you´re saying I mean, the 2-pass encoding so far I know that option taking the static or ...I don´t know exactly the word, I mean that scenes where is not action or big movements and doesn´t take the same biltrate that the scenes that contains fully action etc and that one need the most biltrate so Bd rebuilder assign dependeing of that scenes the biltrate and decides the final size?

Or I´m wrong with that?

If it is correct how to know what number to put on the first pass and sencond pass?

BDRB doesn't decide what bitrate to apply to various scenes. The x264 encoder does that via the two passes. What BDRB supplies is the resulting target to shoot for, be it a particular bitrate, etc. I personally supply a target bitrate. The CRF is used to target quality, for which the bitrate the computed. JDobbs can better explain what his thinking is for what he does.
If it is correct how to know what number to put on the first pass and second pass?
The same number is used for both. The final result would be screwed up if the value was changed between passes.

Been forever since I used this, since my PC died. Now I installed to another and can't recall--how do I set BD-RB so that it does only extraction and remuxing? I just want to keep the original BD's video and audio without any compression or other alterations. Using Movie-only mode if that's important.

FORCE_NOENCODE=1

FORCE_NOENCODE=1
in the configuration file

Thank you gonca! I might never have found this on my own! :D

FORCE_NOENCODE=n n = 0/1 - if set to 1, BD-RB will always use original video (sizing will not be checked)

[gonca]

Don't forget to make sure that the audio doesn't get encoded
KEEP_HD_LPCM=n
Along with the other audio settings

Do not convert DTS to AC3
Do not reencode AC3
Keep HD audio

[Lowpro]

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.

I'd like to see this as well. Just finished re-authoring each season (https://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=16459890&postcount=23) of Cheers to Blu-ray.

http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/thumbnails/cheers_s01p01.bmp (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/cheers_s01p01.bmp)

Had to shorten a number of episode names due to the character limit. Well, I like to include the broadcast date for each as well. Would love to see the character limit increased. There's certainly plenty of screen real estate for it.

Hi guys I trying to pass my MKVs (that previously pass from BD50 to MKV 264 with MakeMKV) and the thing is when I play this MKVs encoding with alternate movie HEVC intact resolution the movie present some problems like codec or something because when I play on my TV I see some think like green pixels and another thinks just like when the movie is bad, and just for see what happens I tried with Handbrake and it do the job and I can see without problems but Handbrake for some reazon eliminate the lower and upper black bars so I watch in full screern, I want to use BD Rebuilder but I dont know what the image is bad?

What's your ultimate goal? Why not just start from scratch? Backup the original Blu-ray disc again, then use BDRB selecting the type of output that you want.

I just can´t believe I missed it I mean if I got you, you´re mean I can use the original disc that I can pass to some folder on disc and encode to MKV directly (thank you buddy, really)

But like I said before dear lowpro, weeks ago I lost serveral original Bluray disc from my collection, but months ago I decided to start to check the disc, see the surface etc and the mostly of those I lost I did an MKV backup from the principal movie, because that I have several MKVs movies collection that are taking serveral space on hard disc and I need it. Besides in my country buy a Bluray blank disc is very expensive and considering that movies are in MKV all I wish to know is how to do for reduce the size (I know, I´ll lost quality) but the less possible I can keep

I appreciate your pacience and thank you for read this Lowpro I really don´t have any intention to disturb, all I wish is to know

[AmigaFuture]

I think it's not a bug, but maybe it is? Has anyone else notice this? I've noticed it before with movie discs and I just went ahead and converted all I wanted to MKVs to imported and create a new disc.. I'm processing a TV Episode BD and an extra is possible to be blanked or not. I have it set to not be. So it should be processed, which it does. The processed output has the .M2TS, but when I played back the BD comes right back to that part of the menu without playing the M2TS. When I open the processed directory with BD-RB it sees the playlist, and will still preview the video.

[MrVideo]

@AmigaFuture: I'm confused. Why are you taking a BD, converting to MKVs and then creating a new BD? If your goal is to do a backup of the BD50 to a BD25, do just that, a backup. No need to go to MKVs first.

[AmigaFuture]

I did that. The extra doesn't play when a new BD-50 is made. But...after further checking, there's something "not right" with the file.. I can make an MKV of it, and have BD-RB import it, but even that doesn't play with PowerDVD 12 or my newer LG player. I'm doing more checking into what's happening.

[Blurayhd]

please excuse me guys there´s some way to fix that problem that show you on http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1875190&postcount=28513

Maybe I have to change some codec? I don´t know what to do

Thank you in advance!!

The only way I could get it to function with the menu correctly was to rerender outside of BD-RB and place the original M2TS.

[MrVideo]

The M2TS that BDRB initially creates is 29.97. After running it thru the movie mode that creates MKV files, it is now listed as variable frame rate at 59.94, original 29.97. I then manually took the M2TS file and ran it thru my script that converts TS files to MKV (using mkvmerge) and it too came out variable frame rate, 60.666 in this case. I then took the original M2TS file and converted it to MKV and got the 59.94 frame rate. Next, I created the MKV via VideoReDo and all was well. Lastly, I made a new M2TS via tsmuxer and then created a MKV via my script. Variable frame rate - 59.94.

The cure... run the M2TS file through VRD. But, you lose the subtitles doing that. You might be able to use tsmuxer to take the video from the VRD MKV and mux it with the other streams from the original.

Needless to say, that M2TS file from the BD is weird.

[AmigaFuture]

Needless to say, that M2TS file from the BD is weird.

Yup! I have not come across that before. I wonder if that was the intent of the mastering? I used HandBrake to rerender it. I prefer to keep the PGS.

[Lowpro]

I have a question about the below option.

MENU_BACKDROP_AUTOSIZE=n n= 0/1 - 0=Off (default), if set to 1, the menu backdrop automatically sized to match items.

In cases where the menu contains 2 pages I'd prefer to not have the menu backdrop automatically size to match the items as shown below.

http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/thumbnails/cheers_s01p01.bmp (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/cheers_s01p01.bmp)

http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/thumbnails/cheers_s01p02.bmp
(http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/cheers/cheers_s01p02.bmp)
My preference would be to set a fixed width for the Menu Backdrop that carries over from page to page. (I would have then updated my backdrops so that the "Episode Selection" graphic was centered over the Menu Backdrop.) Is there a way to do this? Is there a way to set the width you want for the Menu Backdrop? I don't see a MENU_BACKDROP_SIZE setting. If I set MENU_BACKDROP_AUTOSIZE to 0 how is the width of the backdrop determined? Does it set the width based on the longest title name, then using that width from page to page? That would certainly work, but it would be nice to also have the option of setting the Menu Backdrop width ourselves.

And on an unrelated note, the item navigation with respects to the PREV and NEXT buttons is sort of backwards if you ask me. When moving down from the last title displayed the PREV button is highlighted. When moving up from the first title displayed the NEXT button is highlighted. Shouldn't that be the other way around? Also, if a menu only consists of 2 pages it would be nice to have a setting where we could choose whether or not to include the PREV button, i.e. "MENU_PREV=n n=0/1 - 0=Off (PREV button not included), 1=On (default, PREV button included)". Just a thought.

Actually, when there are only two menus, there is only one logical choice for the PREV/NEXT. For page one, the only choice (going up or down) should be NEXT, as page 2 is the next menu. If you are on page two, the only logical choice is PREV, as page one is the only choice and it is the previous menu. Only the single choice, not multiple.

For multiple page menus, going up the list, i.e., to a lower number, should result in PREV being the default choice, and if going down the list, to a higher number should result in NEXT being the default choice.

For multiple page menus, going up the list, i.e., to a lower number, should result in PREV being the default choice, and if going down the list, to a higher number should result in NEXT being the default choice.

A two page menu only needs one button for page navigation. That was the main motivation behind my suggestion and yes I agree, a "Next" button on Page 1 and a "Prev" button on Page 2 would be best. I'd still be fine with a single button on both pages labeled "Next" though. Would probably be less coding involved to offer an option excluding the "Prev" button. Again though, I do agree. A "Prev" button on Page 2 would clearly call out that there's no Page 3 and that you'd be taken back to Page 1. For a menu with 3 pages or more you'd want both "Prev" and "Next' buttons as it is now naturally.

And to be honest, I'm fine with "Prev" and "Next" buttons for 2 page menus. Yes it's redundant, but I'm fine with it. I'd just love to see the button navigation changed. If I move down from the last title button it should highlight the "Next" button. If I move up from the first title button it should highlight the "Prev" button.

About that, I wonder if BDedit could be used to implement that after the fact. I use BDedit after the fact to change what episode is highlighted after a title finishes playing and I'm taken back to the menu. BDRB has the next title in the list highlighted. I prefer for the title I just finished watching to still be highlighted just as is the case if I go back to the menu during the given episode. It's just my preference. Very easy to implement in BDedit. Perhaps changing the button navigation with respects to the "Prev" and "Next" buttons could be done from BDedit as well. Not sure.

It isn't my preference. When I test my discs, I want the next title to be highlighted so I can just do a single click to play it. I go through all of the chapter marks to make sure they are right. The last one is a second from the end, so it goes back to the menu at the next video.

So, it would require a new configuration option to do what you want.

Call me a control freak I guess. Don't mind the extra navigation step. If an item is highlighted in the menu I want to always know it's highlighted, because I highlighted it. :-P

Hi guys Let me tell you, I love BD rebuilder (Thank you Jdobbs!!) but I need to do reencodes with a lot of movies that I have on my collection, this movies are in MKV because as I told before (and it still makes me suffer) I lost several Bluray original disc, special editions etc) but time ago just in case I did with Makemkv a perfect copy of the most Bluray

So, I need the space on my hard disc and I have to reduce de size but keeping quality as possible, and for do that first all tracks that was DTS that I convert to AC3 640kbps and with BD rebuilder last week I tried several times with alternate movie, 1920x1080,intact audio with CRF, 23, 22, 21 etc I reduce various MKV movies to a smaller size , when the original MKV size is 24,6gb Bd rebuilder with CRF 21 reduce the size to 7gb, so I tried with external hard disk watch this movie on my TV and I hear the audio but suddently it get mute (no sound), and the movie some times just freezes, if I do forward I can hear again but seconds later just mute again, and the subtitles tracks that contains the MKV I can select but doesn´t appears on screen!!

So, please don´t angry with me dear Jdobbs like I sayd and still saying I love BD rebuilder but I had to try another software, same movie, MKV, audio tracks etc and I use Handbrake and I tried to watch on tv and all was excelent, no audio problems, and the subtitle appears

Today I return to try with Bd rebuilder because I so wish to use your amazing software but I check again and same problem that I had in first place

I put the log here, please could help me? maybe I have to change something on Bd rebuilder? Maybe on ffdshow?

You aren't doing two-pass video encode and the log says that you are keeping the original audio. I'm not saying that this is the reason you are having issues.

[Blurayhd]

Hi Mrvideo and I want to thank you for helping me so I tell you as you said I don´t doing two pass, so far I know the CRF is just one pass?

And about the audio track yes I keeping the original audio at least in AC3 (the original is DTS but take more space that I not need and I don´t have the sistem for DTS) like I said I keeping in AC3 with the most biltrate possible that is 640kbps

I don´t know why BD rebuilder give me this problems, in few words..

I´m trying to encode a lot of MKV with CRF for decrease the size keeping 1920x1080 and intact audio

When I play the MKV movie that was previously created with BD rebuilder when I watch I see the following problems

1 When I do forward the movie no matter when the sound just get muted if I do forward again and play the sound return but seconds later get muted again

2- In same cases the movie get freezes, I mean, suddently get static just like if you pause the movie and there is not more I can do

3- the subtitle tracks are there, I mean, on screen when I try to select, give me the option for select between the two tracks but when one is selected the subtitles doesn´t appears!!

I don´t know what to do, because that, I just tried that another tool that do the encode without any kind of problems but like I said I want to use as always do, Bd rebuilder but I need to know if anybody can maybe tell me what to do?

Thank in advance

I don´t know I really want to thank you all for your pacience, all I need to do is with Alternate movie and CRF option is get a smaller size but the movie seconds later get muted if I do forward the sound returns but seconds later again get muted, maybe I need to select or change something on ffdshow? :-(

Maybe I do have to re install all but there´s some step for install ?

[Ch3vr0n]

Define "gets muted"? You getting a cinavia message code 3 error?

[gonca]

@BlurayHD
Maybe you should try LAV Directshow filters
This is listed as 2A in the setup instructions in the first page

I meant you´re wathing the movie and suddenly silence the sound, no sound and no is not Cinavia. And if I do forward the sound again but seconds later again the same problem

I already tried, I downloaded LAV and installed it but still the problem :-(

I haven't been keeping with the thread as Doom9.org is again not sending Emails. BD-RB and associated programs don't mute the audio in movies. This means your program or some other program is getting in the way. I agree with Ch3vr0n, this comes across as a Cinavia protection. But after using DuckDuckGo.com (I don't rely on Goggle at all...), I noticed this: "I have with the Blu-ray copy of 'Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters' crashing after 5 minutes when I was using PowerDVD 14." Are you using that version of PowerDVD? Or any version of PowerDVD?

[MrVideo]

Hi Mrvideo and I want to thank you for helping me so I tell you as you said I don´t doing two pass, so far I know the CRF is just one pass?
CRF is a quality level, I don't think that stops you from doing a 2-pass encode. That said, I doubt that would be the cause of your issues. Doing 2-pass would help with the quality of the encoding.
And about the audio track yes I keeping the original audio at least in AC3 (the original is DTS but take more space that I not need and I don´t have the sistem for DTS) like I said I keeping in AC3 with the most biltrate possible that is 640kbps
I misunderstood. I thought the MKV wrapped video had DTS-HD audio. Mentioning it, only confused me. Since the MKV source that you are using has AC3 audio, DTS is no longer in the picture.

I have no clue as to what is going on.

Nope, it won't be. The movie is a Paramount release and they didn't use Cinavia.

"I agree with Ch3vr0n, this comes across as a Cinavia protection." I was following all that for a while, what Studio is using what - but it got to be too much..among other technologies and people in my life. But I appreciate note. So, Paramount still has class. HAHA! Anyway, that's also why I looked around some more.

@AmigaFuture thank you for helping me but the problem is not only with this movie, I have the same problem with the six movies that I try watch so far

Of course I tried playing in Windows and no problem, problem is playing in my TV but the problem happens only with MKV movies that I convert with BD rebuilder, if I use another tool like Handbrake I don´t have any issues, any problems, nothing that is why I´m asking for some reazon I get this error, only BD rebuilder

@MrVideo please excuse me my English is not my first like you notice I swear I trying to do my best

About that you said if I undestand well that you ´re saying 2-pass is better than CRF for obtain balance between size/quality?

If that is true could tell me how to use some calculator for use and obtain a number for the biltrate?

And so far I´m using the other tool for encoding in middle time for testing so when I get (I hope) find the problem thanks to you guys with Bd rebulder I´ll use it

Any more ideas dear people I don´t want to disturb you!!

For the same file size (=same average bitrate) CRF and 2-pass produce very much the same quality, with perhaps the exception of extreme cases.

The problem is that you can't predict the filesize with CRF encodes. You could target the desired filesize with repetitive trial-and-error by changing the CRF and see what you get until you end up with the file size you are happy with.
There exists no calculator for calculating the filesize for a CRF encode. BDRB has however the option to predict the CRF for a desired filesize by running a number of repetitive analyzing steps based on snippets of the source. It's accuracy is normally within +/-10%. It can be worse though depending on the source and the snippets.

[MrVideo]

If that is true could tell me how to use some calculator for use and obtain a number for the biltrate?
Programs like DVDFab use some kind of internal calculator to figure out the bitrates to use to get the final size of all the pieces of a 50GB BD release to fit on a 25GB disc. JDobbs also performs some kind of calculation to fit what the user wants on a 25GB disc as well.

Me, when I encode for creating MKV wrapped videos, I just use a bitrate. Normally it is 5Mbps. I'll go a high as 8Mbps, depending on the source and what I want the output for. You can go as low as 4Mbps, 2-pass, and probably not see a difference from the original.

Do us a favor and tell us some of the bitrates of the files you want to re-encode by using MediaInfo.

Shift the SRT file to below the Audio file. As in:

Video
Audio
SRT
..and the rest.

Check that with your TV.

I plan to restart development of BD Rebuilder soon. I stopped for a while in order to concentrate on another project... and donations (which were rare anyway) pretty much dried up. So I decided a couple months ago that I would put it on hold at least until if I got an unsolicited donation (there had only been a couple this year -- and I decided people just weren't that interested anymore). "thefrog" sent me one today, so... I decided to show some gratitude.

The first priority will be UHD. But, frankly, so far my UHD experience (especially using the combination of X265 and TSMUXER) has been pretty frustrating -- so I expect it will be continue to be a major headache and take some time.

[Ch3vr0n]

Hah i'm still very much interested. Just don't have the financial power to show it. Still use it frequently on 3D disc mainly. With there was a way to do nvidia hw encoding :) So for what it's worth, thx for restarting!
