BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[MrVideo]

This used to work, but now it doesn't.

It is doing "converting source to compliant formt..." and ends up taking the 23.976 video and converting it into 59.94. WTF! According to MediaInfo it is indeed 23.976:

Aborted because I hit cancel.

There is zero reason to convert the frame rate. The EPR file was taken from a previous job that worked just fine. Only the paths are changed and FORCE_NOENCODE=1 (it was 0, but didn't make a difference).

Even 0.61.29 gets it wrong.

UPDATE: It just dawned on me what the issue probably is. BDs don't handle HEVC video. I set UHD_CONVERT_ENABLE to 1, but it didn't make a difference. How do I get BDRB to author a UHD disc with 1080p HEVC content? BTW, I don't want to use the standalone program to upconvert to 2160p because the program doesn't use the chapter locations to create I-frames at those locations. AIUI, you want I-frames at chapter marks.

Don't think avisynth 2.606 can do 10 bit video, which your input is (main10)
Might have to update to avisynth+ to do these type of files

Thanks Bro! I knew we kept you up there in the Canadian Outback for a reason... :D

[Lathe]

Well, I went ahead and ran the Shout Factory Blu-ray through BDRB to shrink it to fit a BD, and burned it to Blu-ray and it played perfectly fine on my OPPO. As an experiment I also had tried the HEVC file (which I got in trouble for :)) and VLC played both the file and the resulting M2ts file from BDRB exactly the same with with exaggerated contrast and super grainy. So, it simply must just be something about VLC rending this movie that way for some mysterious reason. But, as long as I have the Blu-ray backed up and burned to disc and it plays fine on my OPPO then everything is okay... :D

[Lathe]

Okay, it's official...

I'm an idiot...

Yep, that's about it, pure and simple... I felt my penance should at least be coming back here and telling everyone, NOT that it would especially be a particularly big surprise... :rolleyes:

Okay, here goes... and, I'm telling you this is not going to be easy. *sigh... I checked and for some TOTALLY bizarre reason, the VLC visual effects filter had the 'Sharpen' setting checked and it was cranked way up... I know, unbelievable. No F'n wonder nobody knew what the hell I was talking about. I swear, it is shocking that I can even get through the day without serious damage to myself.

Okay, uh... next time hopefully BEFORE I go spouting off to everyone, I will, uh *cough... check the damn settings first. I'm going to go and hide under some rock now...

However, be that as it may... (and yes, I KNOW gonca, you are laughing your fool head off...) I still would like to know WHY BDRB did not accept and process that HEVC file when I tried to import it. When it started to reencode the video, that's when it threw an error. I put all the BDRB information in my very first post about all this above.

My head hurts...

[MrVideo]

@lathe Instead of using BDRB to recode H265 to H264, why not use the GPUENCC standalone program? No fuss, no muss. A couple of simple settings and the recoding is done in no time at all (if hardware encoding is used).

I'll look into that, thanks for the suggestion!

I would like just to use a simply CMD line, but there are certain settings I think in order to get the frame rate right or something that I'm not sure of. And, I don't know if my GPU will work with that, I'm not familiar with that whole side of the GPU used for encoding.

As long as you know it

During import TsMuxer is doing the demux/remux.
It can handle 10 bit video.
For encoding, avisynth is used, and the version you are on can not.
That is why import was good and processing failed.

Edit
I am not laughing my head off, I have come to expect it of you!

Ah, I see... Thanks for the explanation. I was curious why BDRB was rejecting it, that's good to know.

I'm glad your expectations have been met... :D

BTW, how's the Moose Stew...?

It can be run via a command line, but because of the numerous options, best to run it from the GUI. There's lots of previous discussion about the newer GPUENCC program. Dig back thru the thread.

[MrVideo]

UPDATE: It just dawned on me what the issue probably is. BDs don't handle HEVC video. I set UHD_CONVERT_ENABLE to 1, but it didn't make a difference. How do I get BDRB to author a UHD disc with 1080p HEVC content?

AIUI, you want I-frames at chapter marks.
I went back to the original HEVC videos and recoded them to AVC (via GPUENCC). Because I had to edit them at the commercial breaks to remove some of the black and to create I-frames at those locations, I didn't have to start from scratch as I was able to use the VideoReDo project files to do the editing again, but on AVC files this time. The BD was created just fine.

While I was able to get around the issue this time, I still want to be able to create a UHD with 1080p HEVC videos, in order to avoid a recoding. Each recoding introduces minor artifacts, etc. The less recoding, the better.

Lovely... I have NO bloody idea what it does (except doesn't it have something to do with using your GPU to do the encoding? I don't know if I have the right kind. Raedon I think) but, I'll check it out.

If that is the case, I wonder what the benefit is rather then just using the CPU as usual? I've been pretty happy with the speed of the encodes now that I have a faster CPU and more memory, so I don't get why there is some whole other way to do it...?

[gonca]

It has to be a Nvidia gpu, radeon would be amd.

[Lathe]

Yep, thought so...

[MrVideo]

Or the Intel.

[MrVideo]

It is many times faster than using software (CPU) encoding.

[Lathe]

It is many times faster than using software (CPU) encoding.

Kinda figured that too... So, does it use the exact same parameters and yield the exact same quality as you would get using x264 settings and the CPU? Would the only different factor then just be the time of encoding?

[varekai]

Thanks!

[varekai]

From Google... maybe accurate?

In terms of bitrate efficiency, which encoding is better, software or hardware encoding?
For the best bitrate efficiency (quality per bitrate), software encoding tends to be superior due to its flexibility and ability to use advanced encoding techniques.
14 okt. 2024

Is it better to encode with GPU or CPU?
You almost always want to do GPU encoding for recordings if you have access to it because it minimizes CPU overhead.
However, CPU encoding technically produces more efficient compression (better quality at a given bitrate or lower bitrate at given quality).
19 dec. 2023

Is software or GPU rendering better?
The main attraction to software rendering is capability.
While hardware in GPU rendering is generally limited to its present capabilities, software rendering is developed with fully customizable programming, can perform any algorithm, and can scale across many CPU cores across several servers.

[MrVideo]

So, does it use the exact same parameters and yield the exact same quality as you would get using x264 settings and the CPU?
Different parameters. As indicated by varekai's posting, overall, software gives you more control. But takes a lot longer. Depending on the job, I'll do some x264 encoding, but it takes a lot longer. I'm not even set up to do x265 software encoding.

[iambryanknowles]

When encoding x264 720p 60fps, BDRB defaults to keyint=30, and with extended_gop goes up to keyint=60. Should't it be 60 and 120?

While hardware in GPU rendering is generally limited to its present capabilities, software rendering is developed with fully customizable programming, can perform any algorithm, and can scale across many CPU cores across several servers.If I can give my humble opinion... yes, CPU encoding technically produces more efficient compression. That's mainly due to its ability to do multi-pass encoding. But even then the difference is minimal -- a few percentage points in output size savings at a comparable quality level.

I personally use the GPU to do all my encoding and use constant quality mode (CRF [x264/5], QVBR [Nvidia], or ICQ [Intel]). That way I know exactly what quality level I will get. The only down side to it is that the size isn't easy to predict as it depends on the quality you choose and the complexity of the source. But in BD-RB that is taken care of by the program with sampling and size prediction.

And, as mentioned earlier by MrVideo -- GPU encoding is many, many times faster than using the CPU.

[varekai]

If I can give my humble opinion...
That's interesting! Thanks for the info! Can I ask what NVIDIA GPU you use?
I have this Geforce RTX 4060 8GB and never tried encoding with it, next project I will try it with your settings.

If you look at this link (https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new) you'll see that your card has more capability than mine (like AV1 encoding). I would guess it is faster too.

[MrVideo]

Nice card, but I can't get one. The driver is Win10/11.

Give the software a run and see what you think of the results.

[varekai]

@jdobbs
@MrVideo
Thanks for the link and info, will test with GPU on the next project.
Will run one encode with GPU and one with software/CPU and compare them.

[SquallMX]

Be aware GPU encoding is awful for grainy content. You should use software encoding with that kind of content.

[Lathe]

That's interesting... Although I don't have the right GPU to do it, it seems odd that whatever you are using to do the mechanics of encoding, I don't understand why whether the GPU does it or the CPU, aren't the math and computations exactly the same? Why are there different results...? Just curious...

[musiclover]

For a project I had to convert a music video clip from PAL to NTSC. I used GPUENCC with INTEL GPU. The resulting video was fine but the audio was out of sync and kept getting further out of sync. Then I changed GPUENCC to reencoding with NVIDIA GPU and the audio in the result was completely in sync but the video was somewhat stammering or stuttering. The length of the original file was 3:32 minutes. The INTEL GPU changed that to 3:41 minutes while the NVIDIA GPU kept the 3:32 intact.

No, software encoding is slower but can use more advanced/complex ways to save bits.

Interesting. I personally haven't had any issues with that any kind of content using GPU.

Try something like Ghostbusters (the original one), even at BD50 bitrate the output created by NVEnc looks denoised and has this pulsating effect, the one encoded with x265 is superior in every way.

Ah, good to know, thanks! Now I don't feel like I'm missing out so much... :) For me, re-encoding to a BD25 (movie only) even with very strong but compatible settings might take the better part of two hours. A film that is smaller and doesn't need quite so high settings may take about 45 minutes, so that is fine with me.

[10.50.21]Job Completed [1 of 1]Unfortunately the resizing and syncing, etc, is done by NVENCC and QSVENCC (I think they use the FFMPEG libraries). You might want to try downloading a newer version of those and see if you have better luck.

[musiclover]

Unfortunately the resizing and syncing, etc, is done by NVENCC and QSVENCC (I think they use the FFMPEG libraries). You might want to try downloading a newer version of those and see if you have better luck.

The newer versions didn't do it for me. So I used the video from the INTEL GPU and combined that with the audio that I stretched with 104,27%. It gave a good result. It's a pity that I couldn't get GPUENCC to do it. But I understand that is up to QSVENCC. And the choppy video was the fault of NVENCC.

UPDATE

I found an other way to get it done. Using BD_RB with the hidden option IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM=1. It gave an excellent result. And BD_RB did the stretching for me.

I have tried the last 3 versions & the current beta version, with & without the add-ons, different versions of AVISynth, and using different encoders, but I still get the error message - PredictAndEncode() 00006 2803

Thank you for any assistance!!!

You get this error when the source stream was encoded at a framerate that is not allowed in Blu-ray. Acceptable framerates are: 23.976, 24, 25, 29.97, 50, 59.94 -- even then some are only compliant with certain frame sizes.

So how can I fix it? I am just shy of being able to just burn it -- 24,963MiB vs disc size of 23,866MiB. Can that much be done with Overburn?

--- DSI can tell you that it is an overflow error, and that it is probably happening while trying to calculate space requirements (based on the 2803 error locator code). But that's about it.

There is more than enough space on the drive (over 100gb). It gets to ~93% Overall Progress. This was using FRIMSOURCE for Frame Serving (I've tried all the others except DGDecNV, as I do not have that exe). I have also tried AUTOMATIC QUALITY -


UPDATE: DoH! It was a bad file in the mix :-(

Sorry if I missed it, but is it expected that GPUENCC/NVEncC removes DV/DoVi profile 7.6 (dvhe.07.06) when re-encoding video? Thankfully it does at least leave the HDR10 there.

The program hangs on trying to convert Opus audio.

I want BDRB to read in a disc and not re-encode any of the videos it will end up keeping. The following is in the config:
FORCE_NOENCODE=1
FORCE-ENCODE=0
Yet, BDRB goes ahead and encodes anyway. Is there something else that needs to be set?

[gonca]

FORCE_NOENCODE=1
FORCE-ENCODE=0


Try FORCE_ENCODE=0
If this doesn't work then post the log
