BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Sharc]

The wording makes it read as though SSIF output was part of BDRB, but was removed.

Even though it is supposed to be compliant, as pointed out above in a posting, a user can't find any software that will play said 3D without the SSIF file. Now that tsMuxer can do the SSIF work, all BDRB needs to do is use the latest verion.
Not sure if this may be part of the user's problem: An ISO has to be "mounted". It can't just be played. Windows supports "mounting" from Windows 8 onwards only AFAIK. With older Windows version the "mounting" had to be done with an extra dedicated software.
Long time since I dealt with 3D, but I never had a problem with playing in-muxed 3D file structures as far as I remember. Maybe I had to manually force the TV to play it in 3D.
Anyway, just a blast from the past ......

Added:
Out of curiosity I imported a 3D half-SBS file in BD-Rebuilder and converted it to 1920x1080 MVC using FRIM (x264 doesn't support MVC), output to ISO (in-muxed, no SSIF folder).
Mounting the ISO and playing the in-muxed .m2ts file plays as expected on PC in 2D using VLC, Vdub, mpv player, ffplay, and in 3D using StereoPlayer.

Added 2:
... and streaming that in-muxed .m2ts to my TV plays it perfectly and automatically in 3D (unless I force the TV to play it as 2D).

I've been noticing a minor error with the standalone NVencoder. After adding letterbox bars, what is supposed to be 2160p, is listed by tsmuxer and my BD player as 2176p. It plays correctly, so there must be a piece of metadata that keeps it from being listed as 2160p?

1. There are plenty of apps that can play an ISO without mounting it. PowerDVD can do that with menus and everything, It can also play 3D files inlcuding MVC, as well as standalone M2TS files, and 3D ISO (direct or mounted). But it can't play the in-muxed ISOs in 3D, just 2D. Trying to play the M2TS, will play it in 2D, playing the MVC part results in a message that PowerDVD cannot play this format.

2. VLC can also play isos directly, but doesn't support 3D playback other than basic side by side and manually setting the TV to 3D SBS mode.

3. KODI can play isos and with the proper plugins it can also support the BD menus. There are builds that support MVC playback and other forms of 3D beyond Over/under and side by side. While it can play 3D ISOs (w/SSIF folder) in 3D, it doesn't recognize the in-muxed versions as 3D, so it plays them in 2D. Playing the m2ts file by itself results in 2D playback only. Trying to play the MVC file does nothing.

4. PotPlayer can also play 3D ISO, but when you open it, it first mounts the ISO, then plays it. It can't however play the in-mux one. PLaying MVC MKV files works fine, but trying to play the m2TS works in 2D only.

5. Last but not least Stereoscopic Player. This one is by far the least favorite one. It is extremely counterintuitive, but it does play movies. It can't play isos, directly or mounted. It doesn't understand the BD movie structure, it expects a DVD. Playing the M2TS file took me forever to figure out how to output it into a format other than anaglyph, but once I selected the Intel Stereo driver from the Viewing Method, it would output a 3D image. The problem is that it's very hard to watch, headache inducing, a lot of "shimmering" when there is movement on the screen, during pans, and it flashes at every scene/camera angle change. It's truly impossible to watch. When there isn't a lot of movement on the screen the 3D effect is OK. BTW, it does this regardless of source, SBS, TAB, MVC, regardless.

If someone has some hints on how to set Stereoscopic player I'd appreciate it.

As for streaming, I tried using my Qnap NAS DLNA server to stream as well as VLC Server, and neither can stream 3D content. Sure, they can both stream SBS or OU/TAB just fine and I can use the TV's 3D function to watch in 3D, but neither can stream either MVC MKV or 3D BluRay ISO, folder or in-muxed M2TS in 3D.

EDIT:
BLu-Ray rippers:

1. DVDFab doesn't recognize an in-muxed Blu-Ray disc, or ISO as 3D. It really wants the SSIF folder.
2. BDtoAVCHD doesn't recognize it either as a 3D BluRay, only 2D. But it has no problem working with 3D ISOs or discs that have the SSIF folder.
3. MakeMKV, same thing, A 3D BLu-ray disc or iso is recognized is recognized as such as long as the SSIF folder and associated contents are present. In-Muxed are only seen as 2D.

So, while the in-muxed blu-ray may well be playable in a standalone player, or semi playable with Stereoscopic player, it isn't a format supported by the majority of players and rippers available today.

A note on hardware used for testing, conversion, playback:
* Intel NUC 6th Gen with KODI 20.0 (MVC build), PowerDVD 19, Stereoscopic player, VLC, PotPlayer, LG BP730 3D Blu-Ray Player, all connected to Vizio E3D320VX 3D TV

Sorry for the delay in responding. I was on vacation the past couple of weeks.

It does explain that it is a hardware issue. I'd have to double-check, but I think UHD discs resized to 25GB BD media don't get to be 2176, but 2160. Even if they are 2176, my Sony UHD player has no issue with them.

UPDATE: Yep, reducing UHD media to BD25 results in 2176.

I noticed that when I run x265.exe -V from the tools directory that while it includes the latest version 3.5 of x265, this build shows no extended CPU support features like AVX2 etc.

Was there a reason to avoid that for cross compatibility of users here?

And if so has anyone replaced with specific builds without issues? I have a Ryzen 5950X and thinking a build that supports AVX2 should provide some performance improvements.

I've come across this issue a few times before, but I don't know if there is any solution for it.

In backing up the full 'THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES' Blu-ray (Australia) I want to put the film on a separate Blu-ray which I've already done using the 'Movie Only' setting, so that's fine. But, I then wanted to do what I've done many times, take my pants off and..., oh, uh, not that... I tried then getting the rest of the full Blu-ray with menus and extras which I could then burn to another Blu-ray. Normally what I do is simply blank the main film and then process the 'Full Blu-ray' so that I get all the menus and Xtras. But, in this case, and it has happened before but it's been a while, when I blank the main film, it also automatically blanks all the other Xtras but one small file. I don't seem to be able to blank JUST the film itself and keep all the Xtras. It's like the way the Blu-ray is constructed, the main film is kind of 'Locked' together with almost all the other Xtras.

What I'm TRYING right now is doing a full Blu-ray with the destination set for BD50. I'm thinking that MAYBE by running the full Blu-ray through BDRB perhaps it will restructure the Blu-ray and somehow 'Unlock' that connection, and then maybe using that resulting full Blu-ray, I might be able to de-select or blank just the main film.

I tried importing the Xtras I wanted which would have been fine, but BDRB would not allow me to preview any of the Xtras so that I could properly entitle which was which.

I'll see if this works for now, but otherwise, is there anyway to 'Unlock' the main film from blanking all the Xtras when it is blanked?

Thanks!

PS: Nope, that didn't work...

PPSS: Uh, I think that is because I ran out of space, Whoops! :) I'll try again...

PPPSSS: (I'm running out of PP's!) Nope, it retained the same locked structure. But, my last resort is for the Xtras I'm simply reencoding the whole Blu-ray at the fastest possible speed and just play that disc for the Xtras. It's almost done now, so I'm pretty sure that should work. BUT... it would be nice to be able just to blank the movie alone in a case like that.

@Lathe
Just a longshot:
You could try setting REENCODE_MENUS=1 in your ini file

I'm confused. Instead of trying to make two discs, just leave everything on the one? What are you gaining by separating the movie from the extras?

It sounds like BD Rebuilder has found a playlist which includes all titles you wish to keep and the main title. BD Rebuilder doesn't have a function to edit the playlists so I use a workaround but it takes some time. First you need to identify the playlist which includes all of these titles. I use Clown_BD BD Copier (NOT Clown_BD) to view the disc and the playlist titles. Once identified, you should be able to remove this playlist and process the disc with BD Rebuilder, blanking only the main title. This may break the navigation however whenever the playlist you removed is accessed, this would likely be a play all option. To fix this you could add the playlist which you've previously blanked, back into the playlist folder. This would cause a play all function to just loop back to the menu if accessed, but should allow the titles to play when accessed directly.

The other option which may not work, would be to copy the blanked main title MPLS and CLPI into the full disc folders replacing the originals and then process the disc with BD Rebuilder. This may cause an error if the main title is accessed from the disc, but all other titles should play.

Hey, thanks Bro for the very detailed reply, I very much appreciate that! What I ended up doing, which I have done at times before is go ahead and just reencode the full disk at the fastest encode setting to BD25. It didn't take long and amazingly it still looks quite good!

[Lathe]

Oh, I know I've asked this before, but with my sieve of a memory I'm sorry but I forgot what to do...

If I have an HEVC MKV file encoded with HDR, I know that if I reencode it with x264 it will looked washed out. I THINK I have to use a certain colour code or timing, right, in order to restore the colours to what they should be after being converted? There is some setting in BDRB where you can do that right and then convert the HEVC HDR file to x264 and have it look right? I'm pretty sure I did this once before, but I'll be damned if I can remember how the hell I did it (I'll make a note of it this time :))

Thanks!

***EDIT

This just jumped into my increasingly senile mind... Isn't there something like BC209 or something like that? But I don't know where to put it (no rude comments please...)

***EDIT 2

Ah... my brain just farted again! I think it was actually Handbrake that I used before where I can set that particular setting. I had thought that I had used BDRB, but I think it was Handbrake.

[gonca]

You are talking about tonemapping.
You would have to find an avisynth filter that works with BD_RB
You would place it in the filters box

[MrVideo]

If I have an HEVC MKV file encoded with HDR, I know that if I reencode it with x264 it will looked washed out.
Why do you want to re-encode an HEVC (H265) file to AVC (H264)? First off, AVC doesn't handle HDR.

Yeah, after I asked about it I remembered I was pretty sure I ended up using Handbrake because it has a dropdown menu for colorspacing and you just choose the BT709 I think it is. I don't know if that is the best way to do it, but I think that is what I did before.

Hello,

I want to ask if there is an option for extras to be resized/downscaled.
I checked the hidden options file but couldn't locate such a function.

The reason for asking is that I have several disks. I like to create a backup of 50GB, but the extras take up an extreme amount of space.
For example, on the disc, the extras are 24GB. When reencoding the 4k, it's still around 8GB, which will be a minus of the main title with DolbyVision and several languages/audio streams.
If it is possible to resize the extras to 720p, I could get that all to around 1GB for the bonuses and still look okay.
I do not want to increase the "QUICK_CRF=" too high.

I believe I have a bug report. Using BDRB (Latest) I started originally in this thread; https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=185149

I have used 2 different PCs (both latest BDRB and one was a completely fresh install that never had BDRB on it) and 2 different titles and came across the same issue;

For some reason BDRB changes (for me anyway) HEVC SDR BT.2020 video files to BT.709 and of course the resulting playback is not too pleasing when looking at the color (washed out) - This was for the 96 minute movie, oddly the shorter trailers also originally in SDR BT.2020 were not changed to BT.709 instead they kept their BT.2020 status but the 'Transfer Characteristic' was changed to 'PQ' and thus 'HDR' so these look completely over-exposed and overly bright.

I can't be sure if there is a setting somewhere that needs to be made, if there is I suppose this isn't a bug but something people should know about.

I know SDR BT.2020 is an odd duck (though within spec) for the orignal UHD to be in but if anyone has a title that uses it and can replicate then I can be sure it's not just me.

If I am reading this correctly, you are using software encoding because you don't have a compatible nVideo graphics card? Might be part of your issue, as well as the movie appearing to be Dolby Video.

You seem to be compressing a 70GB video down to 9.77GB which does look unusual. What happens if you increase the output size to say 25GB, does that work? Did you previously process the same video with your GTX1050ti or is this the first time you have done this one? The problem may be unrelated to your video card as the failure seems to be in the extracting phase rather than the subsequent encoding.

There is also a possibility the problem is a bad rip, I've seen similar problems when there were problems reading the original disk.

I agree, since extraction is just separating the M2TS files into video and audio files. No GPU required. What does mediainfo have to report about the M2TS files?

Okay, how about this one...

I have a full DVD set of the 4 seasons of the show Wild Wild West. I would like to back them up to my HDD. Using MakeMKV and just extracting the episodes from one DVD of the set (4 episodes) I get 4 files roughly about 1 Gig each.

Now, I know I can use BDRB to take a movie (or a single episode) and use movie only/alternate output say if I want to keep the same AR but make the files smaller (set the AR for the same as the DVD episode and keep audio intact, setting either the CRF or the resulting desired file size)

BUT... say I want to rip a whole season of 4 or 5 DVDs with a resulting 25 - 30 episodes or so. Is there any way I can set them all up in BDRB so that it will do the same thing to each episode with the resulting episode file size being say around 500 Megs or less if I can get away with it? I know I can use BDRB to make an actual playable Blu-ray with all the episodes by importing them, but in that case, I don't think there is a way to set it to keep the AR the same and NOT resize them all to conform to a playable Blu-ray format.

Is there a way to process multiple episodes to generate MKV files that all keep the same AR but can all be individually reencoded to shrink the size of each file? There is probably a way to batch encode them with CMD line, but I've never quite understood the syntax to do that. I could of course set up a CMD line and run each episode individually, but I would like a way, preferably with BDRB where I can reencode all of them at once.

Thanks!

[MrVideo]

You should be able to just import them into BDRB, since BD supports the same sized files as DVDs, i.e., 720x480. They'll just be re-encoded to H.264, I've never tried batch encoding individual files within BDRB.

Or you might use the separate program NVENCCRE to re-encode them to H.265 and save to MKV. All files can be cued. Try doing one to see what happens.

Thanks! Yeah, I can do 1 file as I said as an 'Alternate Output' at the resolution you mentioned, which is the original, BUT... that is only under the 'Movie Only' option, which of course only chooses ONE file. I can't see a way after importing how ever many episodes how I then can encode them ALL that way. My only choice at that point that I can see is for BDRB to create a playable Blu-ray with a playlist, which then means that they will all be upsized to be Blu-ray compliant, and I don't want that either.

BTW, after importing the episodes, BDRB then 'converts the files into a compliant format', each MKV file which was 1 gig now becomes a 3 gig mt2s file, so it's kind of starting off in the wrong direction :)

According to my Blu-ray Essentials book, 720x480 is compliant. No upscaling should be happening?

What about the standalone encoder that I mentioned? If you don't have it installed, get it and do so.

A few years ago it was recommended if I wanted to have a movie untouched, but the extras shrunk to allow everything fit the disc I should set force_noencode to 1 & quicker encode extras, but that didn't seem to work since the extras didn't encode either.
Has any changes been made since 2020 that might make this an option?
I'd still really love to see a right-click option to not re-encode on a per stream basis, just like 'Blank this item'.

I'm confused as everything already fits the disc. You need to explain better what your source and target sizes are.

But, as an example, if you want to take a 50GB source and make it fit a 25GB target, don't expect to shrink the extras by that large of an amount. I've never seen extras take up more space than the main feature. If the extras are that large, I've seen an extra disc in the release just for the bonus features. Hence my confusion.

It Can be done. First Set "FORCE_NOENCODE=0" because you're telling the software not to encode any of the streams on the disc.

I'll give you an example of how it is possible. (Make sure to set "QUICK_EXTRAS=1") If the source main movie is say 21gb & the extras are say 5gb (26gb on disc), you can set "QUICK_CRF=25" and it would most likely fit on a 25gb disc. The lower the number, the better the video quality & larger file size.

But wouldn't BDRB still re-encode the main movie? I've never seen it skip it because the extras will be small enough after re-encoding.

MrVideo: What I'm saying it's not uncommon to have a movie that when you remove the lossless audio will fit on a BD25 with a few GB to spare and re-encoding just the extras to fit is all that is needed.

While that can be true in some cases, don't count on it for most cases.

[JugHead]

A few years ago it was recommended if I wanted to have a movie untouched, but the extras shrunk to allow everything fit the disc.

I assume you meant a 25gb disc. If the source main movie + the re-encoded extras is under the bd25 target size, the software will just copy the main movie (Untouched) & create the folder structure. However, if over the bd25 target size, the main movie will be re-encoded to fit.

I thought I mentioned this before when I tried and failed to rebuild 'Bodies, Rest and Motion' from Kino Lorber, but I can't find the post.

I've found that the fix for the leading clip does work fine for the audio, but the subtitle tracks are still out of sync in those situations.

Edit: Looking at the pieces, it appears the timeshift that is added to the audio and subtitles is not needed for the subtitles. It's causing them to run late (not early like I expected).

So, I modified MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta in the WORKFILES folder. I removed "timeshift=11011ms" from the S_HDMV/PGS line, but left it for the audio line.
I opened a command line at .\BD_Rebuilder\Tools and entered: tsMuxeR "D:\Temp\WORKFILES\MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta" "C:\TestRebuild"

The 'TestRebuild' BD has audio and subtitles syncing just fine with the video now. I don't know if it's specific to that disc or not. Probably is unique since no one else has found the issue.

Those 11011ms remind me being close to --start-time in a Blu-ray mux (00:00:11.65066666 or 524280 (dec) or 00 07 FF F8 (hex))...

Hey Bro! Sorry about the late response, thanks for the encoder suggestion.

The ripped episodes from the DVDs only ended up being about 1 Gig each, so instead of messing with encoding them I just left them full size since each season only takes up about 20-25 Gigs, so no big deal, but thanks though!

[Lathe]

Again, I'm trying to convert a 50 Gig UHD to a playable Blu-ray for my older OPPO player. I would love to use BDRB, primarily because you can set the output size, but I still haven't quite figured out how to do that yet. So, I am currently using another program which is easy to set and add the colorspace filter and such. The only thing is that it does not have a setting for output size. You can either use CRF (which I prefer) or set the bitrate. But, I don't have a way to estimate the output size.

I started with a CRF of 18, and by the time it got to about 33% (40 minutes later) I saw that the final size was going to be too big. So, I 'lowered' the CRF quality to 19, and that is looking like it MIGHT work. But, the dang thing is that in each case when I simply tried to see how big the encode was at say 10% and multiply by 10 it came out to like 12 Gigs, so I thought, Oh I have plenty of room. But... The bugger is that as the encode progresses the damn thing's size bloody accelerates! So, that by the time it got to about 33% and I multiplied by 3 it was going to be too big!

So, how do you go about estimating this kind of thing, because even when you take a relatively decent sized sample, it is NOT indicative of the total resulting size. It always gets bigger faster as it goes (and yes, I have indeed had that problem for years...)

I GUESS if I know what to do, I can take the original UHD bitrate and somehow go by that and the file size to estimate at what bitrate would yield a size that would fit on a BD? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

[DoctorM]

I'm going to assume it's me, but I see no option regarding uncompressed audio.

I've re-encoded just extras to a BD blanking the movie and making it a BD5.

In the output, at least two of the files have PCM stereo audio that is double the size of the SD video.
Is there a setting I have wrong that would cause this?

You don't have to do a thing. Just select the 25 GB media size and let BDRB determine what bitrate to use to get everything to fit. BTW, I suspect you mean 60 GB UHD disc.
