Why not go back to your original disc and try again...

[Max1984]

Why not go back to your original disc and try again...

i do it 10 time. but same error.

[LowDead]

i do it 10 time. but same error.

Maybe you should have read the rules 10 times before you posted.. Read rule #6 again.

[CraigWally]

OK Folks here's a strange issue I am encountering
Previously (with my old GPU (GTX750)) I could only use NVENC on 1080 sources not 2160.
So having upgraded my card (GTX 1660 S) my UHD encodes are now flying along ! really happy days.

However, when I now go to encode a 1080p source using NVENC the burnt disc when played on my standalone Sony player results in bad pixelation
https://imgur.com/EVGge7K
Note, this is not seen on any UHD discs nor on any HD sources encoded with X264, nor when playing via PowerDVD, nor when I was using my old card!
After further testing I can also play the NVENC encoded file via PLEX on my TV and with any software players on the PC, it seems only to manifest itself when playing from disc on standalone blu-ray player(s)
Having tried it now with three different discs, I'm loathe to waste any more coasters, as it seems I'm unable to test before burning.
Any help or suggestions gladly accepted

Buy some BD-RW discs for testing.

That's probably exactly the same thing i'm experiencing...

see my earlier posts on the matter. If you force to encode true CBR it will work.. also simpler encoding parameters are used. As soon better quality are pumped in, the artifacts are back...

@abogard
I'm not moralizing but your indignation is tiresome... :|
Proper BD title
True Detective Season 1 Disc 2 (3 Episodes)
[TRUE_DETECTIVE_DISC2]

To you friend I say 3 things:

1. You are moralizing.
2. You are quite correct, that's the original BD title that comes with the original disc. I know because I own it. And although it might be proper it's not written anywhere (not even the rules) that is mandatory to use it.
3. I changed it to something else because I like it better (it's quite easy to do you know). I'm quite aware it looks like something out of a certain scene but I didn't know I had to be crucified for it. Also I thought that me saying it was my own rip, out of my own disc was enough, didn't know the CSI team would arrive and would start dusting for prints to see if it was true. And if you read rule #6 it's quite possible for people to do what I do.

You people need to understand something, this is an international forum. Where I come from, to be challenged suggesting I'm lying after I gave my word is a serious matter not to be taken lightly; you should try to understand and respect that kind of thing before saying that is just me having an attitude.

That's the last I'll say about this matter.

Have a nice day.

First things first, I am not your friend, and second, your indignation is becoming really tiresome...

Hey guys, there's a way to hardcode sub when import MKV?

[CraigWally]

If you force to encode true CBR it will work..
//LD

Please advise how to force CBR

[LowDead]

Please advise how to force CBR

First select "One Pass (CRF) Encoding" under Settings\Encoder Settings\

Then add the line "FIXED_CRF=18" or whatever CRF value you want to have between 1-50.. lower is bigger file, better quality. Around 20 is usually a good place to be..

Problem here is that size prediction goes out the window. So, if you try fit to a disc, that would be very difficult.

This is the only solution that has worked for me. Except for other software, but thats not the purpose of this thread...

//LD

[jdobbs]

Hey guys, there's a way to hardcode sub when import MKV?Not when importing (normally the video is imported intact). But you can do it when you reencode by checking "Use Suptile for Alternate Forced Subs" in the SETUP dialog.

[Sharc]

Please advise how to force CBR
I guess you guys mean CRF rather than CBR......

[LowDead]

I guess you guys mean CRF rather than CBR......

Yes, ofcourse my head is under BrainFog right now.. But the procedure should be right.

UPDATE: Selecting High Quality(Default) rather than Highest (Very Slow) seems to fix the issue.

Get the original disc and try again, not a pirated source which is against forum rules and has been pre-processed. BDRB cannot guarantee a proper outcome

[RoyGBiv-inRI]

I have found what seems to be an issue with 60.18. I am copying my discs to my computer to use with Plex. I start by using MakeMKV to copy the entire disk to my hard drive. Then I use BDR to shrink the "movie only" to a more manageable size (usually the BD25 preset), and then I use MakeMKV to create an MKV for use in my Plex folders. When I did this with previous versions of BDR, I had no problems with MakeMKV opening the "index" in the BDMV folder and then creating an MKV. With 60.18 I get the following error message:

MakeMKV v1.15.3 win(x64-release) started
Opening files on harddrive at Z:/Video/********/**********
AACS directory not present, assuming unencrypted disc
Failed to decode audio/video data for title #0 - invalid mux or internal error, title skipped.
Title #00000.mpls was skipped
Failed to decode audio/video data for title #0 - invalid mux or internal error, title skipped.
Title #00000.m2ts was skipped
Failed to open disc

The .m2ts file appears to play normally if I play it directly, and the BDMV architecture appears normal. Just as a trial I burned a disc made with 60.18, and it played fine on my BD player. And, FYI, I have tried now 4 different discs with both 60.16 and 60.18. MakeMKV works fine if the files were done using 60.16 and all 4 had a problem on 60.18.

Any thoughts?

I can now confirm that this also fixes the pixelation issue on the 1080p extras for me. I also suspect NVEncC having trouble with 24fps sources as i'm getting stutter with this main movie (Flash Gordon). Have also noticed it on other movies that I think I remember were 24fps.. I'm not 100% on that though as i'm a bit under the weather (Covid is a pain in the @$$) right now..

Ahh, I appreciate this message. I didn't realize MakeMKV now supports ripping full Blu-ray to directory. It's ripping most of my BDs but there are a few I still had to use DVDFab because it goofed. I didn't check the rip first, and started processing with BD-RB, and noticed the process was not correct. Checked the rip, and MakeMKV didn't do it right. A bug I'm sure will be fixed. But wasn't fault of BD-RB.

Just as a test, you might want to try replacing the version of NVENCC with the newest one (v05.19) and see if it has an impact. It's available at this address. (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/releases/download/5.19/NVEncC_5.19_Win32.7z) I haven't tested it yet, but I didn't see anything in the change logs that would make me think there might be issues.

[AmigaFuture]

Thanks

You're not the only person coming across about the Truth about it that I know (I know people personally..). It's real stuff. Heal well. Honestly.

I also use a GTX1660 Ti with a pretty much default BRDREBUILDER.INI, no hiddenopts added.
Graphics driver might not be the most current, I'm on 451.48

I haven't done many 1080p disks yet, but on the finished ones (nvencc, Highest quality) I didn't notice any pixelation, at least not in the main movie.

According to Table 1 NVIDIA dropped 'H.264 field encoding' for Turing and Ampere GPUs.
https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/nvenc-application-note/index.html#nvenc-performance

Blu-ray compliance requests 'interlaced' for 25 and 29.97 fps for any resolution. Fake-interlaced is not always possible.
Confused ........ :confused:

So... if that could be the issue:
Is 'field encoding' support set in hardware or software? Meaning my 'old' driver might still support that feature?

@LowDead: What's your graphics driver version?

I also noted that one could switch to a "studio" driver from within the Geforce experience.. anyone have tried that driver?

Not so much a bug, but more of a question... I'm re-ripping all my movies (as Alt-Movie Only) due to a drive crash Because I have a mix of 4K TV's and 1080p's, I usually rip both discs of a movie. I ran into a Bluray that wont rip (looks like there is a scratch on the bottom). The 4k/UHD disc does rip. I'm just wondering if UHD Disc -> 1080p MKV would result in any quality difference compared to Bluray Disc -> 1080p MKV? (I'm just thinking about those "fake 4K" discs that are from a 2K source)... I mean I do get it will be better than not having the 1080p copy on my server, just curious if it might suffer.

I mean I do get it will be better than not having the 1080p copy on my server, just curious if it might suffer.It should be fine. But, if you do, you may want to consider performing some type of HDR->SDR conversion (assuming HDR on the original). I've seen reports that sometimes it can look "washed out" without it. I saw this AVISYNTH plugin (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/HDRTools), but haven't tried it myself.

But you may want to just try it without first -- as sometimes these reports are less than accurate (people sometimes have magic eyes and ears that see things that aren't really there).

[gonca]

You can always try DGTonemap, DGHDRtoSDR and DGPQtoHLG
http://rationalqm.us/mine.html
I believe they can run in software mode

[jdobbs]

http://rationalqm.us/mine.html
I believe they can run in software modeI think they all require AVISYNTH+ (or at least the Wiki says so). But, again, I haven't tried them.

[gonca]

They do have a 32 bit version, but I'll check

[videoh]

DG tools use YUV420P16 for HBD. I don't know if Avisynth 2.6 can swallow that. If needed we could have an option for delivering a different format. Let me know what you need.

[gonca]

AVS 2.6 can't handle the higher bit depth, and it has no internal filters equivalent to ConvertBits()

[videoh]

There is a hack called Stack16, but why bother when Avisynth+ handles HBD natively?

[CraigWally]

Just as a test, you might want to try replacing the version of NVENCC with the newest one (v05.19) and see if it has an impact.

No difference

[jdobbs]

No differenceThanks.

Hi all, my apologies if there is a better place to request this. I was wondering if an Alternate Output could be added for "MKV Container, HEVC, NO_RESIZE, Auto-AC3." Currently there is one that does Auto-AAC but it would be nice to have one that does AC3 so I can play these files over my surround sound system. Currently I have just been converting audio through Staxrip and then converting that output through BDRB with "MKV Container, HEVC, NO_RESIZE, Intact Audio" and it's just very time-consuming. Thank you.

Thank you.You can open up the ALTERNATE.TXT file in the MISC folder of the installation and add it. The top of the file tells you what all the parameters mean, and then the existing presets are listed below. Just add another preset with the settings you want. Here's what you'd add (to the default ALTERNATE.TXT) to get the preset you want:

[00041]
caption=MKV Container, HEVC, NO_RESIZE, Auto-Ac3
vEncoder=1
vBitrate=1500
vKeyint=Auto
aBitrate=*
aType=0

thank you very much for your software, it´s amazing, but I have a question...
is it possible to disable the --uhd-bd option in 4k encoding to gain a bit more speed?
