BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[ChuckUFarley]

Has "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" been removed as an option in the Config or is it now "OUTPUT_PATH=" like SOURCE_PATH and WORKING_PATH?
I have OUTPUT_FOLDER set and the folder exists, but the final disc still gets dropped in the working folder.

[Ch3vr0n]

Not that i know of, but the output folder needs to exist PRIOR to beginning the encode. BDRB checks for valid paths before encoding.

[ChuckUFarley]

As I said, the folder does exist. It's just ignored.

[AmigaFuture]

One question

Is it possible to read a guide for every option ?
Because bdrebuilder is a wonderful software but i have fear that i dont use it in the best way because i dont know the effects if a set all the option on or off

Thanks guys

Yup, this is it..we're it. Along with DJ commenting. Don't have fear when using it, just practice. :) Depends what you want to do. Most times I don't rerender my BDs to BD25 anymore, I'm keeping backups on Hard Drives. There isn't really a "best way". Sometimes with some discs that only have the movie, I copy them to portable Hard Drives...then I'm able to use my TV, BD Player, or whatever..in Lossless quality. Which beats the digital junk (haha) they offer with my originals.
Practice, play around, report bugs. Ask...but don't forget logs.

How does a program "drop" it in a folder? Haha!
"OUTPUT_FOLDER=p p = Path to a folder to be used for output. e.g. OUTPUT_FOLDER=D:\OUTPUT (it must exist)"
I don't recall it being removed or disabled.

Sorry, but all blu-ray and UHD video releases are lossy.

The disc has been decrypted, right?

[ChuckUFarley]

I pulled out a backup INI file and discovered that the "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" needs to be in the [Options] section not [Paths]. I'll test that later tonight.

Is there a setting for imported video files to have subtitles on by default?

[jdobbs]

I pulled out a backup INI file and discovered that the "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" needs to be in the [Options] section not [Paths]. I'll test that later tonight.

Is there a setting for imported video files to have subtitles on by default?You can right click on it after an import and default a subtitle on when you do the encode and/or build.

[ChuckUFarley]

You can right click on it after an import and default a subtitle on when you do the encode and/or build.

That's weird. I kept trying that and it wasn't working. Now it is. I feel stupid.

And yes, "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" needs to be in the [Options] section. That worked fine.

[AmigaFuture]

Sorry, but all blu-ray and UHD video releases are lossy.

This has all been discussed for many years now. Blu-ray/UHD are made with lossy quality, they are compressed (lossy). When you're making a backup of a BD and not reencoding anything, you're making a Lossless copy...just getting rid of extras you don't want.

[TheIceman]

I hope there's an easy answer to this question. And no, I didn't read all 1471 pages in this forum to try and find it.
How do I enable video card (CUDA) acceleration in BDRB? I'm currently using v0.61.05, Win10.

Yes, my PC can handle 4K. Yes, my CUDA acceleration works with other programs like Adobe & FAB. So, what setting do I need to modify in BDRB or its' supporting programs to get this performance advantage???
Using a 2hr 4K file, and encoding to a high quality 25G output: FAB takes about 90mins, BDRB takes 19hrs. I really like BDRB, but the encoding time difference is Huge.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

BD Rebuilder does not uses CUDA Hardware Acceleration, software encoding provides better quality but is always slower.

[Ch3vr0n]

BDRB doesn't no, because it's basically just a GUI for the command line tools like x264/x265 which DO use the CUDA/NVENC cores

[MrVideo]

BDRB doesn't no, because it's basically just a GUI for the command line tools like x264/x265 which DO use the CUDA/NVENC cores
I've never seen the x264 encoder use my nVidia CUDA GPU. I need a newer card for H.265 encoding.

[jdobbs]

BDRB doesn't no, because it's basically just a GUI for the command line tools like x264/x265 which DO use the CUDA/NVENC coresThat is absolutely false. BD-RB is much, much more than that. But the actual encoding itself is done by X264/X265/FRIM.

[jdobbs]

I've never seen the x264 encoder use my nVidia CUDA GPU. I need a newer card for H.265 encoding. The decoding may (if set properly) uses the CUDA core, but not encoding.

I still have NVIDIA's NVENC on my "to do" list.

[Ch3vr0n]

That is absolutely false. BD-RB is much, much more than that. But the actual encoding itself is done by X264/X265/FRIM.Oh I know it is. No offense meant, I was just simplifying it. That's all. It does a everything but encoding [emoji6]

Yep, it does indeed. The discussion was about encoding. Plus x264 isn't used for decoding.

[Ch3vr0n]

This isn't meant as advertising by any means. Just as a reference, i have many tools in my video processing library (BDRB still being used, before this one even was released, my alternative (Elaborate Byte's "CloneBD" does full hw acc decoding and encoding. Shrinking a full size BD50 to BD25 on my GTX1080 takes me under 15 minutes with it. Though for my 3D discs, nothin beats BDRB (yet :))

@jdobbs if you believe this post is violating your topic in any way. Feel free to edit/remove it.

[DoctorM]

BD RB could encode a disc in 15 minutes if you used the fastest settings. Is CloneBD any good or just fast?

For me 15 minutes is on "best quality" with my 1080A. If i select fastest option it's done in around 8 minutes. It's very good, and has an easy to use interface. Though offers less configuration options than BRDB.

Which is why i still use both :)

[Mark_Venture]

Just jumping in late on the NVENC/CUDA discussion... I too have other tools that support it for Decoding/Encoding. They are definitely faster than BD-RB.

With my older Nvidia cards, GPU Accelerated encoding (be it Cuda/NVENC/Qsync/whatever), was faster but didn't look as good. It seemed softer and not as clear. And the bitrates were less even when trying to use the same CRF values, etc.

With my GTX1660ti (newest gen Nvidia hardware encoder) using hardware accelerated in the other tools (like FAB) is definitely faster and for all intents and purposes the output looks as good on my TV as BD-RB. (ok, I never looked frame by frame, blew them up side by side, etc... just talking about what my eyes see on my TV and my tablets)

That being said, I still use BD-RB as my primary app for making "Movie Only" MKV's for Bluray and UHD discs. (I use FAB for the occasional DVD) I just trust it, and its UI and settings are better (more configuration + very nicely laid out). Plus it always works and always gives me great quality which is the most important to me.

Having GPU Accelerated encoding would be a plus, I can certainly understand why some want it. But I'm fine without it if BD-RB keeps working as well as it does!

[MrVideo]

Error "Jaws UHD":

[06.06.20] - HEVC manual defined fps doesn't equal to stream fps. Change HEVC fps from 59.97 to 59.9401

Huh? This movie was shot on film @ 24fps. The frame rate should either be 24 or 23.976. It is hard to get 60fps video from 24fps film and not use 3-2 pulldown. Doing so gains nothing for 24fps movies on Blu-ray and/or UHD

[DoctorM]

I've been away from this forum for a while and I'm seeing discussion of BD RB working with 4k discs, but searching the thread back for the past year, the first post and jdobb's website, I can't figure out what BD RB can and can't do.

Are people converting 4k discs to standard BD format? Can Atmos and other higher type audio tracks be passed to a standard BD?
Can BD RB re-encode 4k discs to a smaller size and output a burnable/playable UHD BD structure?
What happens to HDR in either of these cases?

Sorry if this has been answered, but there doesn't seem to be a resource explaining this. I don't see a setting for an x265 encoder, so I have to assume the output isn't UHD.

Edit: OOOooooh. tsMuxer was actually updated to support UHD structure, HDR, etc. I had no idea there was any development going on.
I had to dig back into the end of 2018 to find out that BD RB can actually shrink a UHD disc. Beautiful... but it would be nice if that info were somewhere like the first post.
Can anyone comment on standalone hardware support for UHD BD25 and BD50? I didn't think that was possible. It would be nice to know what brands/models support it.

[AmigaFuture]

JDobbs, have you found a solution for the imported video becoming corrupted? I've recorded all 8 episodes of "The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch" (not related to the movie) Season 1, after removing commercials I've saved to MKV. There are 8 episodes. A few import fine, but the rest have glitches at chapter points. The MKVs before import are clear, and play through everything well. During Import v0.61.05, I've checked the TEMP directory and also made a copy when it's just about done..and checked with MPC-HC and the video is clean and smooth just like the MKV. It's when it's being added to the BD structure that some videos are altered.

Since I love the new actual evidence presented in this show I decided to make a BD. Which reminded me of the problem previously. I figured I'd check into it more, and I found that if Chapters are included or if not..and BD Rebuilder makes then, some videos are altered. Those are my findings so far. The episodes are in 720p 59.94 FPS.

[DoctorM]

@AmigaFuture - If your source recordings are mpeg2, you might want to try running mpeg2repair on them first.

And a question: Is "Quicker Encode for Extras" supposed to still work even if "force_noencode" is set to 1? Someone gave that advice once as a way to leave the movie untouched and encode the extras to fit the remaining space. It doesn't work for me. All video is left un-re-encoded. (I did make sure not to use x264's LAVF because that can't 1-pass.)

[BuddTX]

Just jumping in late on the NVENC/CUDA discussion...
Having GPU Accelerated encoding would be a plus, I can certainly understand why some want it. But I'm fine without it if BD-RB keeps working as well as it does!


I also was interested in GPU Accelerated encoding, but when JDobbs and other explained that there are fewer "quality" settings, compared to sw encoding, and the "best quality" BD-RB software settings gives a better final video, I am no longer interested in GPU Accelerated encoding.

I have two unused, older i7 pc's, attached to a KVM switch, and let BD-RB crank away at the highest possible settings making MKV files. So it takes 3 days or longer to make 1 MKV file using x265. The results are great, and "my" computer is left to do other things.

Now if they ever come out with GPU Accelerated encoding that offered "insane" High Quality video settings, I might be interested, but that might cost several hundred dollars for a video card, I probably would not be in a huge rush to buy such a graphics card, to get the same results I get now, with just waiting several days. Thanks everyone and JDobbs for explaing this!

(I did make sure not to use x264's LAVF because that can't 1-pass.)

Comcast is transmitting MPEG-4 for HD channels. I have Quick-Encode for Extras enabled almost constantly. Functions very well with BD backups. Imported MKV's from that source aren't being reencoded. I'm now noticing, ahhhh...been a while attempting to "debug" this. That if I rencode some 59.94 files to 29.97 then..imports are great. So, there seems to be a problem that gets by (VideoReDo) TVSuite AND BD-RB (tsMuxer).
Which then also means some movies might not be rendered correctly, or mastering errors (?). I gave JD 2 files a while back, but I know he's been active with other stuff.
HandBreak is a nice replacement for now for encoding then since if I change the Framerate ONLY (to 29.97), and disable all Deinterlacing then it looks really good and plays smooth..and Imports sweetly. I just prefer JD's method because I'm not into all the math for getting MB output size right.

Appreciate the reply.

"x264's LAVF because that can't 1-pass." - It should, or DirectShow. I use these..often. Hmm..

[ChuckUFarley]

Let me correct myself. CRF is disabled with X264's internal LAVF, but ABR is still an option. Since quicker-encode seems to use a CRF value, I would think a different decoder is needed.
I'd just like to know if that's a bug or a feature with force_noencode & quicker encode.

As far as your issue AmigaFuture... dude, I have no idea what you are even trying to do anymore. I figured you were capping OTA content. Since it's Comcast, I have to assume it's not QAM, and by MPEG-4, I'll assume you mean AVC video.

I don't know of a way to clean possible broadcast or encoding bugs under those conditions. I'm not sure there is. It could be a bug in the software you are using to cut the commercials.

[Lathe]

Oh GEEZ...

Sorry guys, but I am like 3 frigg'n MONTHS behind checking this thread, my humble and lowly apologies. My poor ol' PC finally passed on to the Great Beyond and I had to build another one. The good news is that since it has been over 8 years since my last one, this new one now, although I'm sure no where NEAR some of your guys' cutting edge systems, is a HELL of a lot faster and better :) So, I'm looking forward to seeing how long encoding times take now. I've done little snippets, like Conan shows, and using the x264 CMD LN it used to take about 6 minutes to re-encode a file of say 400 Megs to a size of about 60 Megs, and now it takes like 1 1/2 minutes, so that's a good sign :D

I know it isn't as super duper as your guys's stuff, but I now have a nice AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 Gigs of RAM, and My Goodness, I thought okay I'll try to get maybe an older generation but used to be cutting edge video card. DAMN! The thing was like half the size of a bloody shoe box! I'd never seen anything so huge (well... except of course in my case... *cough...) I was bloody terrified trying to install it, but fortunately I didn't seem to screw anything up. It is an older Raedon 590x Fat Boy. Oh, and if was just easier to get a new SDD drive, I guess one of the newer M2 generation ones that plugs directly into the MB with the W10 OS on it. That is rather nice too!

Anyway, sorry to go on... So, I went to the first post on this thread to DL all the versions of Avisynth and stuff we need to do, and WTF! The Avisynth links, both of them do not work now...??? I suppose I can just find the Avisynth site, etc., but I thought that was kind of weird. Did some monumental changes occur here since I was gone...? Like...

Is JD doing okay...?

Is Mr. Video still being as anal as ever...?

Is gonca still lusting after the moose of the Great North...?

Any updates that I should know about?

Thanks! http://lathe-of-heaven.com/tiphat.gif

[Lathe]

I guess it was all right, no big deal...

I already had the versions DL'd anyway, so I just used them, it started up fine.

I need to go back over the last 3 months and see what the HELL all of you guys have been up to!

[Lathe]

Hmmm, interesting...

Although definitely running faster on all accounts, the CPU utilization is only about maybe from about 17-19% Weird... It used to use a fair amount of my old CPU, like easily from 80-95%...

[MrVideo]

Somebody has to. :eek:

[AmigaFuture]

Oh GEEZ...

Sorry guys, but I am like 3 frigg'n MONTHS behind checking this thread, my humble and lowly apologies.

This part where you're so Lowly is still very funny to me.

I know it isn't as super duper as your guys's stuff, but I now have a nice AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16 Gigs of RAM [...]with the W10 OS on it. That is rather nice too!

I'm looking at the same setup. I'm still enjoying my older ASUS 10+ year system..and it's doing really well, but I want faster speeds with USB, and more. You got your parts around the same time I was considering buying..then..I delayed, so I'm awaiting stock to refill.

Screw OS 10..I won't go there. It's much too ugly a UI. I found plenty of ways to get Window 7 to function. That rocks!

JD doing okay...

I wondered that also, sent a PM..got a reply. :)

Somebody has to. :eek:

Ohhh.. So many comments...


Anyway..

I've found some bugs I'm confirming for 720p.. They all are related to TsMuxer.. Advanced warning. :)

[DoctorM]

@Lathe - Are you using your SSD while encoding? It might wear it out faster, but a spinning platter drive could be a limiting factor. Also, what are you using to decode? On my previous system (FX-8350) I got a 10% bump in performance using x264's internal LAVF versus my vid card. The reason is the internal LAVF is the only way to take advantage of a 64-bit pipe in BD RB. I have to assume a Ryzen 5 would be even better.

@AmigaFuture - Oh, God. I'm glad someone else said it. I'm running two drives with two OS's right now that I swap between. I'm TRYING to ease myself into Win10 and I hate it. It's ugly, bloated and clunky. It'll take forever to root out all the M$ crap and tweak it to function smoothly like Win7.

[gonca]

well... except of course in my case... *cough...
You realize that you were looking in a trick mirror stumpy

[jdobbs]

Is JD doing okay...?Still breathing. I haven't spent as much time on BD-RB as I'd like. My dream is to get a GTX1660 so I can work on NVENC encoding, but the wife seems to think we should concentrate on things like food, fuel, clothing and a roof over our head instead. Women. They just don't understand geek economics, do they?

Since force_noencode & quicker encode don't seem to work together, no matter what I fiddle with, is it possible to override the 15000 Kbs max bitrate cap for discs sized under 25GB?
I'm manually re-encoding the extras to a DVD5 and because it's under 25 minutes of content, all the extras are hitting the cap and the disc is undersized.

Edit: Would this work (and is it right)?
TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000

If you go above 15000 Kbs and play on standalone it will most likely stutter. And with 25 minutes of content and the disc resulting in undersizing it probably means the encoder max out the quality anyway so you get the best it can do with these settings.

//LD

Edit: Sorry I misunderstood the first time... Ofcourse the final disc have the movie+extras, and you want to have more bitrat added to the movie? isnt it better to apply the extra bitrate to the extras if the movie already looks good? too avoid any compability issues? It will be fitted to a BD25 in the end so the DVD5 caps doesn't need to be applied.

Thanks for posting your tale. In my case its been over FOUR YEARS since my video PC has worked! Loaded with drives of course, and since we moved houses/locations the mobo has refused to come alive. This used to happen when I'd leave it for months in the summer, and it would sometimes balk when re-firing the thing for winter, but now it remains quiet.

I have dreaded the work associated with building a new PC but maybe your experience will inspire me! In the Fall! :)

Those tweaks won't work. There are some settings that BD-RB won't allow you to change (to prevent self-inflicted issues).

[DoctorM]

I know what I was doing. It's just that gonca mentioned there was an easier method a while back, and as far as doing separate processing and manually rebuilding the disc, jdobbs did mention he was planning to add a hidden opt. to allow removal the VBV restriction from the pass tweaks. He did add a maxbitrate option for UHD.

My post is 6 years old, musiclover, and 6 years later, neither of these alternatives work, it still has to be done manually.

I tried gonca's method only once back when he originally posted it and I didn't aggressively try adjusting options to see if I could make it work until this week. I don't know if the original intent WAS for that method to work or not, but many updates to BDRB later, I didn't know what to expect.

I'd just like to see the ability to right-click a stream and select 'don't encode'. So maybe someone doesn't want to re-encode the movie like me, or someone else might not want to re-encode a specific bonus feature that's they lover or is already bitrate starved.
It sounds useful to me.

Edit: Again, to be clear, this isn't an attack on anyone. It's just I haven't worked with BD-RB in a while and I'm trying to understand what changes have been made in that time.

hello. i've tried to shrink the BD which i recorded again and again.
but everytime this error message is displayed and i have no choice
but to abort the process.
"BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2008 correctEPData() 00006 2008"
i tried the latest and some old versions on Windows 7(32bit) and Windows 10(64bit).
but i always got the same error message.
could you tell me what i need to do to solve this problem please?

@Lathe - Are you using your SSD while encoding? It might wear it out faster, but a spinning platter drive could be a limiting factor. Also, what are you using to decode? On my previous system (FX-8350) I got a 10% bump in performance using x264's internal LAVF versus my vid card. The reason is the internal LAVF is the only way to take advantage of a 64-bit pipe in BD RB. I have to assume a Ryzen 5 would be even better.

@AmigaFuture - Oh, God. I'm glad someone else said it. I'm running two drives with two OS's right now that I swap between. I'm TRYING to ease myself into Win10 and I hate it. It's ugly, bloated and clunky. It'll take forever to root out all the M$ crap and tweak it to function smoothly like Win7.

Those are some valid points to what I was considering. I'll check Ryzen 5 some..

Oh, Enki, indeed! I do tech stuff for family & others & 10 is not a joy. I don't "hate" but the "Blleech!" is very strong. I've installed it on my system, multiple OS installs..as you, but there isn't any way I'm going to say "Okay." to it. The GUI is my stopper. It's made for Keyboard commandos (not the PEOPLE THAT TYPE LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME). My Son at Intel really doesn't enjoy it either, and he's very much keyboard commando (as little mouse use as possible).

I've heard they've finally removed a lot of bloat. Okay, well, the make it "Look cool again." so I'm not going any time soon. Besides, you're not able to pick updates; like Windows 7. Make a product and then treat customers as products - bad business idea. "Epic Fail!" as the buzz-word jargon says.

Anyway, very interested to know more about how well Ryzen does with BD-RB. I'm think the cores and threads will help a lot. I'd probably not use my GPU as much then, with LAVF handling better. Hmm... I have a couple Samsung SSDs and they're not operating at near full speeds with this ASUS motherboard. So, I'm thinking that'll really be helpful with BD-RB. I don't get into heavy gaming, but sometimes it's fun. Nothing like the "gamers" of today though...many other things to do than sit for 5 to 8+ hours playing video games. Yikes, haha! So a good mix... Hmm.

Good point. I apologize if I insulted any female geeks.

I'm sure the lowly wretch, Lathe, wasn't offended. :D
