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.
I appreciate the reply, but I don't think that is quite right. If I do just that, won't it simply shrink the size but still KEEP the HEVC UHD format. I want it in a playable format for my older OPPO, which would be a standard Blu-ray AVC 1080 format. I can use another well known program to do this and also choose the color space filter to convert from HDR-SDR, BUT... with that program there is no way to set the output size, whereas with BDRB there is. I guess I'll just hafta experiment around with it.

Ah, OK. I misunderstood. Converting from UHD format to BD format is indeed a whole 'nother can-o-worms. Because the UHD and BD menu structures are way different, there is no simple way to go between the two. The only way I know of is to rebuild the BD structure from scratch, which BDRB is great for doing so. You can use the standalone encoder to convert from HEVC to AVC and from 2160p to 1080p. From there you can put those files into BDRB to build a new BD disc and if the files are too large, it will re-encode to get them to fit.
Just a thought.

Hi guys the thing is I have my several Bluray movie collection and I´m pass it to a MKV movie but every movie the size could be 22gb and I wish to encode so I can reduce the size but keeping the best movie quality possible and for that in BDrebuilder section Alternate movie only there is CRF, two pass etc I so need to know if you can recomend what number to put in Two pass for reduce but get the best quality?
Thank You in advance

Okay, just a quickie (because that's the way I roll...)
I have a UK DVD I bought long ago (the movie 'SCISSORS') I already have a Blu-ray of it and I wanted to give the DVD to my friend. But, he has a really old DVD player that won't play UK DVDs. I first tried to remove the Region coding, but it wouldn't play. Then I remembered that it was also in the PAL format, which his player will not play. Then I used BDRB with alternate output to create a playable NTSC DVD structure, but his player won't play DVD folders, there has to be a menu.
Is there a way to 'Import' the DVD into BDRB and do the exact same thing I just did, but with a Quick-Play menu for DVD, not for Blu-ray, because then it will work on his player because I've played other burned DVDs where I think long ago I used DVD Shrink to blank one of two films on the DVD so it would fit on the 4.5 Gig DVD and it played just fine with it's original menu intact on his player.
Is there a way to create just a simple Quick-Play menu for DVDs using BDRB?
Thanks!

There are some outstanding issues that haven't been resolved. Two of them that are bitting me are:
1: The titles.inf file is being created, but never looked at when trying to build a BD. Whenever I import the same files, BDRB treats the files as if I am importing them for the first time. Not a killer, but annoying none-the-less.
2. This one is a killer. I also don't remember if there is a way around it. I have a BDRB configuration where I am using a newer tsmuxer that is UHD aware, mostly so that it will handle EAC3 files, which are UHD compliant, sort-of. Why sort-of? EAC3 needs the AC3 core to be UHD compliant. But, the new tsmuxer will work with the EAC3 audio that is contained in MKV files and my BD player will pass said EAC3 file to my Denon AVR via HDMI. The Sony player is set to directly output the audio streams over HDMI without touching them. But, when importing said MKV file into BDRB, it wants to convert the EAC3 to AC3, which is currently being done wrong (I know there is a work-around somewhere in the above postings), but I need BDRB to NOT convert to AC3. Why? Because that will ultimately remove any included Dolby Atmos. Not good. There needs to be an option within BDRB that tells BDRB to not convert to AC3 and that it is done at the user's risk.
Does anyone know away around the issue so that I can end up keeping the EAC3 file? Of course, the best thing is an updated BDRB that uses the newer tsmuxer and doesn't convert EAC3 files. But, right now I'll take a workaround.
Thanks

I just reincorporate the given EAC3 file after the fact and move on.
Not sure is this would be helpful to you, but I use FFMPEG quite a bit for different things.
Below is what I run from the command line to extract EAC3 audio from a MP4.
ffmpeg -i <filename>.mp4 -vn -acodec copy <filename>.eac3
And here's a command I've been using lately to extract and convert AAC to AC3.
ffmpeg -i <filename>.mp4 -c:v copy -c:a ac3 -b:a 224k <filename>.ac3
If I have a set of MP4 files I run a batch file. Quick and easy.

I've tried that in the past and it failed. One has to use tsmuxer to swap out the audio from the M2TS file that BDRB makes.
Problem is the file now no longer fits the info described in the other BD files. I have BDEdit, but that didn't seem to help. I'll have to try it again.

tsmuxer and VideoReDo can be used to extract audio and convert AAC to AC3. In the case of replacing the screwed up audio with the original EAC3 file, tsmuxer would be used, since I would output a new M2TS file.
BTW, I use ffmpeg to rewrap MKV to MP4 of files that contain EAC3 audio, because the Sony UHD BD player refuses to output the EAC3 audio when contained within a MKV wrapper. Sony considers MKV files with EAC3 as being bootlegged. What is stupid is that MP4 and M2TS files will be played just fine. Illogical.

tsmuxer does see the subtitles. Now I have other issues. If it isn't one thing, it is another.
MrVideo
15th March 2024, 11:48
Replacing the audio file worked. I must have not done the apply last time. The subtitles are out-of-sync. I have something to try regarding that.
When I tried to import the M2TS file into tsmuxer, it complained that it didn't like the video and didn't import it. Strange since BDRB used it to work with the video in the first place. I know that it is the same version as I installed it into the BDRB program location.So, I used the M2TS file that I imported into BDRB. BDEdit complained that the packet size was wrong and I let it correct it. When I tried playing the disc, it refused to show the video, instead showing the menu background image, but played the audio files and subtitles. Weird. Back to the drawing board.
UPDATE: Nope, can't fix the screwed up audio file. Tsmuxer does not like the M2TS file that BDRB put together. No idea why not.
Needless to say, BDRB needs to be fixed so that it does not screw with EAC3 files (user option). Plus the titles.inf issue must be fixed as will. It is a real PITA when trying to redo a job. Having to do it all from scratch every time really sucks.

When building a UHD/2160p disc, an EAC3 file is NOT in violation of the standard, but BDRB tries to re-encode the audio anyway. The result of said encode is a single channel.

MrVideo
12th April 2024, 00:58
I knew you were going to bring out the lack of a core. :rolleyes:
Personally, I feel that it is a moot point for both BD and UHD discs. I don't know of any system that can't play EAC3 audio, w/o a core. I do not know if my Sony UHD player will decode the audio, as the player is set to send the raw audio to the AVR via HDMI. I suspect other users do the same thing.
I've been searching for a way to add a silent core, but not found anything. I thought for sure that I found it once. I did run across a posting where the author said not to bother as devices pretty much accept coreless EAC3 files.
IMHO, the simplest thing to do it create a hidden option: RECODEEAC3=1, where 1 = recode and 0 = do not recode. Add explanatory note that not recoding EAC3 to AC3 might result in legacy devices not playing the audio. Use at your own risk.
Thanks for thinking about doing that.

Does BD-Rebuilder support QuickSync or just NVENC, for GPU encoding?
I mean, I've been using BD-RB with NVENC for a while now and loving it, but I might have to pass off my Nvidia card to my son. With limited funds at the moment, I can't buy a replacement, so if QS is supported, that would be great.

You may hand that QuickSync encoding over to StaxRip,

mux there (or tsMuxeR standalone) and let BD-RB have that.

But in a test (using a 13th gen i5 [i5-13420H] with built-in UHD graphic support) doing H265 encoding I was a little surprised how much slower it was than my Nvidia card. My Nvidia card is giving well over 300fps on 1080p encodes -- and I was only averaging about 100fps using that GPU and Quicksync. Is that typical? It doesn't seem that much faster than X265 on that same CPU?

The only app I have that uses Quick Sync is CloneBD. Using a gen 9 i7 I have seen 1080p encodes in the 300+ range. It is variable but generally averages in the 200+. I pretty much use it to convert BD to mp4. I set it to create 4gb files at 720p. Takes about 15 min.

As I tried it last time (I have to reconfigure in BIOS to unhide iGPU, so not doing that everyday) QuickSync was still miles faster than
x265 (the latter yielding 0,7fps for a prime 4K UHD-BD on this i9-11900K) vs. nVidia 3080 running like 26..28fps for a comparable good UHD-BD NVEnc profile. Will have to run a comparison again, given the latest developments.

That would match the observations made here:

The clock speeds of the build-in gpu are way lower than in the dedicated ones.
Nevertheless a good performance for something you basically get for free with your processor. ;)

BD Rebuilder has started to fail during audio conversion. It has started adding "_eng" to the end of the extracted audio file name, before the file extension. I've found that if I rename the file deleting "_eng" and rerun the program, it successfully converts the audio. Do you know what could be causing this?
For AC3 files, it also generates an empty file without the "_eng".
Not sure if this is a bug or not or just a limitation?
UHD 4K title through BDRB, set UHDMaxrate=36000 (I'll do this as I am putting it on BD50 media so the bitrate needs to come down) - Done it plenty of times w\no issue.
As expected it encoded the main movie only down, well this current title I have has 25!! TV spots & trailers, BDRB obviously did not encode those (even with 'Quicker Encode' set to on it never picked them up) so it never brought the bitrate down on any of them (spikes of 90+Mbps on some of them).
Thought I'd be smart; I pulled out the main movie M2TS that left only the extras (4.55gb worth), figured BDRB could encode these down if I turn on the 'Quicker Encode for extras' on and set the CRF=30 in the INI and set the size limit to 3gb. Set this way BDRB did pick up all the extras however they ended up with a Dolby Digital only file (They are all TrueHD audio) even though I didn't change the setup (HD audio intact etc). I suppose BDRB saw the Quick Encode and CRF=3- and size of 3gb and figured the only way to do that was to strip out the TrueHD audio track?
Even if this would have worked I still would have had to get all those M2TS files back into the main structure and may have had to edit with BDEdit every one of those 25 clips & playlists.
So I guess I'm asking if there is an easier way, is there a HiddenOpt to ensure the entire structure (Main movie & extras) are all encoded down?
EDIT TO ADD: Everything does show up to encode if I set the target to BD-9 but that doesn't help much as of course I want a BD-50 taget size)

I'm not 100% sure about the following, but give it a try.
Go to Settings - Import/Quickplay
What's the threshold for Minimum BD Playlist minutes?
If that is set to low (default is 10 minutes I think) BDRB doesn't pick up trailers and such and leaves those intact.

Why not set: Target size BD=50
Thanks everyone, results...
cartman0208: I actually never saw those options, but I'm doing a 'Full Backup' not the Quickplay so I don't think any of that'll work?
MrVideo: Target size is not a problem, and the size of the files are not a problem. I'm trying to lower the bit-rate of each of the M2TS files not just the main movie (by setting the 'UHDMaxrate' option). Bringing the size down of the original UHD to fit on a BD-50 is fine but you also need to lower the bit-rate as well (BDR media has an upper threshold to bit-rate limit). I am attempting to get all of the high bit-rate trailers to show up in the 'stream' window to ensure BDRB is encoding those as well as the main movie (using UHDMaxrate limit I set)
musiclover: Well setting the MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0 did in fact do 'something' but odd result. Now the main movie (as usual) shows up in the window but as well as 3 other M2TS; 2.8mb (one of the smallest files on the disc and is just the 'Not in HDR' message), 53mb (the disc intro) & 20mb (an end of disc message). So it seems to have done the opposite, those M2TS files are some of the smallest M2TS files (and thus are not even trailers) it didn't recognize any of the 20+ trailers that range in size from 48mb to 450mb. Setting MIN_M2TS_SIZE=1 (or any number above '0') just picks up the main movie only again.
Odd that it picked up the 53mb M2TS that is an intro but none of the teaser trailers that were even smaller (from 40mb to 50mb) so wonder why it skipped those? Some of them are about 9 seconds in length could that be the issue? Although it also didn't pick up any of the longer 2 minute trailers either. So for some reason it's not picking any of those up and decided (randomly?) on those three M2TS files?

Just a longshot. Try it with REENCODE_MENUS=1 in your ini file.
And setting Target size BD=50 may also have some effect. BDRB should know then to lower the bitrate of all videos.

Exactly, which is why I suggested it. The only way to reduce the size of the video file is to lower the bitrate.

So sorry MrVideo, that seems to be my fault there. I was wondering why you mentioned that then I re-read my original post and I didn't mention that I had already reduced the size set as well.
The original un-touched is 82gb (movie=81gb & 1gb in extras). My first try I did set the Target=50 as normal (along with my UHDMaxrate set) but the result dropped it all the way down to 39gb (though at this point I didn't compare any of the extras to see if they were shrunk down compared to the originals)
I then set a custom size to 46500 and that gave me a total size of 44gb, at this point I noticed the extras were not touched at all.
So I'll try another re-encode with the normal 'Target=50' set instead of a custom size and I'll set the 'REENCODE_MENUS=1' as well and see what I get with that.
