BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[vanille]

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?

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.

It has been a while, so I am not sure if I meant to use both options together or FORCE_NOENCODE=1 to first strip out unwanted stuff and then Quick Encode extras on the result.
OR one or the other, been a long time

Update about 720p 59.94 videos.. I've been able to use HandBrake to convert the Secret of Skinwalker Ranch episodes to 23.96 without any filters being used. Just change it to constant framerate and force 23.97 vs 29.97, Pass AC-3 through.. When done making MKV, use MKVToolNix GUI and add SRT (and remove Substation if you don't clear subtitles)...then import into BD-RB and tsMuxer doesn't change anything. Playback of all videos and subs are smooth as can be from sources. Since there isn't an ability, yet, for BD-RB to change framerate this way, none that will complete anyway.. I thought it was a bug with BD-RB, but it's TsMuxer doing it as I downloaded newer and older versions of that to make singe BDs of each episode.

I've decided I'm going to buy an NVIDIA card that supports encoding so I can include NVENC support in BD-RB. I'm thinking about a GTX 1660 because it supports B-FRAMES in HEVC encoding and is in the $200~ price range. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this or other cards and could make some recommendations. Any estimates on encoding speeds for AVC and HEVC (including UHD) would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

While not a 1660, I have an EVGA 1660ti https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=06G-P4-1267-KR

It works. Using it with FAB, set as “cuda” it is way faster than “software” mode. (When converting a Blu-ray ripped to Hard drive can be converted MKV with Fab & Cuda with CRF20 in about 15 minutes vs BD-RB as Alt-movie only CRF20 in about 45-50 min). And it’s faster than using the intel u630 with my i7-8700k.

I haven’t done UHD to MKV in a while.

Over the next few days I can run some tests and comparisons if you help me understand what would be the best way.

[MrVideo]

Why are you dealing with 720p when 1080p23.976 is available? Especially why are you just converting the frame rate instead of doing a true IVTC? With BDRB, you can pass an AVIsynth script to do the IVTC. Me, I prefer 1080p. But that is me.

[BuddTX]

... and electric power is so cheap :D
My two "extra" pc's are Dell SFF and SSFF (small and extra small) so they really don't use a lot of electricity, except for the i7.

Because BD-RB doesn't reencode the 720p 59.94 to 1080p 23.976. Each attempt, combination I've used always aborts in the attempt. IVTC produces (in WORKFILES) a 720p 59.97/29.97 video stream that's too fast. 2-passes are aborted on 1st pass. If I use CBR it finishes, but this relies on tsMuxeR not altering the video from Import.

HandBrake won't upscale past 720p. I also don't know a script to use to force it to work. BD-RB's upscale aborts immediately after starting.

I don't have a script for the AVS Filter in BD-RB.

Yeah, video cards seem to be out of stock, or very very low stock the past couple of months. :(

[DoctorM]

I was just reading an article about ARC over HDMI and that the original version, although limited to S/PDIF specs, can still pass Atmos & DTS:X embedded in Dolby Digital Plus audio tracks. This is apparently something streaming services use.

That got me thinking, since lossless is pretty much a waste of disc space, could BD RB create a DD+/Atmos track? Not for ARC use, but just for compression reasons.

I should have been a little more specific. I wasn't implying that you upconvert to 1080. I was saying that a much better source of the show is available in 1080p23.976.

Did you try adding your own AVIsynth script instead:
telecide(guide=1)
decimate()
That should get you 720p23.976.

Still, obtaining the show at 1080p23.976 would be much better than trying to do all the work yourself. They even come with subtitles.

Oh, and no bugs or snipes.

OOohhhh, okay! I checked with upscaling though with 1 program and it looked good, but there was still a jitter so some frames were left. HandBrake so far is the only processor that's getting videos to smooth 23.976 at 720p. I'd prefer high quality 1080p, but my TiVo Roamio doesn't record at that. I know there are other ways..but I prefer from the subscription I have been maintaining.

I'll add that to BD-RB's AVS Filter and check between CRF, ABR, and 2-pass combinations. Below is the result of putting that into AVS Filter.

I haven't made an AVS script outside of BD-RB in a long time. I wasn't very good at it..and so I stopped for a while. Ignore the stuff after the date & channel..it's my own comment about affects after importing from this source. The output size doesn't seem to matter, so I was trying to reencode each episode.

I understand. Yeah, lack of subs (sync) is one of the reasons I stopped that. Normally, though, all video stuff has been going very well and smooth...until I noticed these errors.

AFAIK, The History Channel is 720p. The only way you are going to get 1080p23.976 is via other means.

I use the same decoder when I do my own recoding with IVTC. With BDRB saying that IVTC is in effect is telling me that you have a flag set for trying to do that. BDRB shouldn't detect that IVTC is in effect when using a personal AVS script. What is wrong in the 5th chapter?

Not used by anything. Pretty much all of the 1080i video that I decoded had that indication, even though it was 2:3 pulldown video.

It would probably help if I had a sample of what you have to look at.

[AmigaFuture]

I did that but same error. I'll go rename my BD-RB INI and let it create a new one. I'm uploading a sample. I'll PM when done. I figured the FILM part in that file wasn't any big deal, but..

"With BDRB saying that IVTC is in effect is telling me that you have a flag set for trying to do that. BDRB shouldn't detect that IVTC is in effect when using a personal AVS script."

I didn't think about that until well after. Oops!

"What is wrong in the 5th chapter?"

The audio is out of sync after importing.. Right at the chapter point.

[AmigaFuture]

Let BD-RB make a new INI and added...

telecide(guide=1)
decimate()

to AVS Filter after disabling IVTC from Setup. Still aborts..

It doesn't matter which episode I use to test, or if I rename the files. A few moments ago I realize the filename is pretty long. For normal stuff, like playing that's okay, but not for importing.

Hmm.. I'm going to go through the list of encoders again...since I hadn't renamed my INI. I think my INI isn't the problem. I'm still thinking tsMuxeR is it.

[AmigaFuture]

Update: I forgot about IVTC_METHOD=1. In conjunction to IVTC_SELECTION=1 then select video stream from list with RMB and enable IVTC. This allowed to 720p to be converted to 23.976. Arrgh! However, this does not help Convert 720 to 1080 from Setup. That always renders the video playing too fast even though it's noticed as 23.976. I'm now running a test with MKV output, for now, leaving at CRF. Rerendering to 1080 leaving audio alone.

Different episodes are resulting in different output. Not consistent as HandBrake was doing. Some, as I preview from WORKFILES live, show 59.94 but display at 23.976 speeds. At some chapter points the Alt MKV IS 1080p @ 23.976 but the audio is out of sync.

I'll have BD-RB process all 8 episodes at 720p with these settings and check what results.

im sure you already came across this

If you are looking to make use of the dedicated decoding/encoding hardware on your GPU in an existing application you can leverage the integration already available in the FFmpeg/libav. FFmpeg/libav should be used for evaluation or quick integration, but it may not provide control over every encoder parameter. NVDECODE and NVENCODE APIs should be used for low-level granular control over various encode/decode parameters and if you want to directly tap into the hardware decoder/encoder. This access is available through the Video Codec SDK.

Ooh great to hear jdobbs. hw acc bdrb, maybe it'll be possible to use it on 3D discs instead of the frim method that creates artifacts with hw acc. Unless you found a fix to that. I did rememer reading a while back that an updated frim version might fix that?

It could be an issue with the source file. I have used TAW a lot. If you are importing an edited mp4 into BDRB with output to BD structure, why don't you just use TAW to do that. It will make BDs.

Hello again.
could anybody give me advice please?

Is there enough hard drive space available? It passes the rendering process and aborted during the multiplexing. Seems storage related...?

[AmigaFuture]

AFAIK, The History Channel is 720p. The only way you are going to get 1080p23.976 is via other means.
I'll add that to BD-RB's AVS Filter and check between CRF, ABR, and 2-pass combinations. Below is the result of putting that into AVS Filter.
Reset any BDRB options that would try IVTC. Don't want conflicting IVTC operations.

I use the same decoder when I do my own recoding with IVTC. With BDRB saying that IVTC is in effect is telling me that you have a flag set for trying to do that. BDRB shouldn't detect that IVTC is in effect when using a personal AVS script. What is wrong in the 5th chapter?

Not used by anything. Pretty much all of the 1080i video that I decoded had that indication, even though it was 2:3 pulldown video.

It would probably help if I had a sample of what you have to look at.

Maybe you'll do better with it than I have? Luck isn't any kind of truth, so I won't use any references towards that.

Update: My System has become slow as I've done many tests with BD-RB with this file and some others that didn't Import well. Where Sync was lost after the 2nd "chapter" which is where commercials were cut from. By slow, which I've not encountered before, I mean..slow responses to Shut down, or Icon clicks. Even Right click on Quick Launch to get the menu for Task Manager. Without so many tests with BD-RB (TsMuxeR) my System is pretty quick in response. Which means a memory leak somewhere in the Processing of video.

Yesterday I thought it odd, late night when I noticed it at first.

Other than that, anything from you about the video, results?

Does anyone here know how or if you can do 2 pass encoding with NVENCC? I've looked at it and FFMPEG, and I like it better (more control and faster). But I can't seem to see a way to do 2 pass encoding with it.

[Added] By the way -- I am really impressed with the speed and quality of the NVIDIA GTX-1660's encoding. All I can say is "Wow".

[Added] Never mind. I did some reading and realize now that true 2 pass isn't an option in NVENC. It has it's own "2-pass" methodology that uses a lookahead scheme.

Hello. Thank you so much for replying to me again.
Yes. I can make BDs with only TMPGEnc Authoring Works.
But when the video is fully rendered, it's not smooth.
Of course, it's not always jerky, it depends on player.
I'd like to make BDs which I can watch on any player.

Hello. Thank you so much for replying to me.
I think there's enough space, almost 400GB.

I had that problem when I checked the demo. It doesn't IVTC, or use a method BD-RB uses, nor HandBrake. It leaves "ghost" affects, and isn't smooth in motion video.

You didn't include storage space free, so I wondered. :)

found this

You can do 2-pass in a few popular encoding programs, but the .stats file that is created is blank. The only way I've found to actually get a true 2-Pass is to run the first pass on the CPU, save the stats file and then use that during a second pass using NVENC which is a cumbersome process. Every other way I've encountered is no different than a 1-pass encode.

mayby have the option of first pass cpu, or both passes gpu, even with first pass cpu i guess the total time verses all cpu will be less

You may also want to try both its constant quantizer and its constant quality mode (both 1-pass)

Edit:
ooops - these modes may apply for AVC only. Don't know if similar exist for HEVC.

[MrVideo]

Other than that, anything from you about the video, results?
The main thing I wanted to look at was the pulldown cadence. Was it 3-2? Well it isn't and is at the same time. The problem is that many times when it is supposed to have a three frame count, it is only two. It'll be 3-2-2. Then a few 3-2 sequences before doing another 3-2-2.

I'm now going to see if it will do a nice IVTC via the way I normally do it, i.e., using x264 to recode with AVIsynth tools to do the IVTC work.

[MrVideo]

Well, you are not going to like the results I achieved. The IVTC recode came out great. No audio issues either. The video was smooth. That means that IVTC can be accomplished. How to get BDRB to accomplish it is another story.

My steps were to use VideoReDo to separate the audio and video. x264 was used to recode the video, fed the video stream via AVISynth tools that did the IVTC. mkvmerge was then used to put the new video and audio back together,

[AmigaFuture]

Why would I not like that? I'm cool with separating the streams with my VideoReDo. You've left away what tools you used to do the IVTC.

[MrVideo]

The tool is a Zshell and doit script that I run under cygwin. They won't do you any good if you do not use cygwin, i.e. Linux for M$.

[AmigaFuture]

I completely spaced the abilities of MeGUI. It's doing a great job of reencoding the 720p 59.94 to 23.976 (zero frames left, and totally smooth playback and IN sync). Once I found that Analysis has some memory leaks, and made a copy of the AVS script I've been able to paste it..and use it skipping the Analysis..and zero memory problems (I thought using TIVTC.dll was the problem?). Which was causing my system to become very slow (Full RAM).

On another note, I'm attempting to use the script (MeGUI), though slightly modified, for BD-RB..and so far, it's not going well for final product BUT...is now rendering every time). For now, though, I'm able to finish my encodes of these episodes with the help of MKMERGE GUI..and should be able to make a sweet BD with BD-RB. Aaahhhh... Haha. I appreciate the look-see, MrVideo. That Cygwin looks interesting. I'll look into this more with BD-RB..perhaps a bug..still and not only with TsMuxeR?

[MrVideo]

Great that you got things going. Keep in mind that cygwin is mainly command line.

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...


Sorry, the last Apache update made the webserver case sensitive (again :mad: ) ... Since the link points to Avisynth_260.exe but the file is named AviSynth_260.exe you got a 404 :(

I just renamed the file, link should be working now.

[MrVideo]

Sorry, the last Apache update made the webserver case sensitive (again :mad: )
1: Updating the apache code is not supposed to change any local configuration files. Never has for me.
2: So, just fix the config file and restart apache.

Well ... the server is a NAS appliance ... Apache is an app on it ... I DID change the config file, but the update of the app resets it to default

[MrVideo]

That sucks. That would mean keeping a copy and putting it back after an update.
