BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

Hi jdobbs, I posted the info you requested (Post# 5986).
I was wondering if you had a chance to analyze my problem. Please advise...Many Thanks. In looking at your post, I can see that the attempted output size is significantly smaller than the actual encodes. This biggest error is in this one:

[00011]
AUDIO=10000
PGS=0000000
M2TS_TARGET=21831402023
RATE=17398
NSIZE=8903577600
FLINK=0
MLINK=0


This says that BD-RB tried to create a 21GB M2TS and calculated its bitrate accordingly (17398) -- but after the encoding the actual file itself ended up at a little under 9GB.

That kind of bitrates is pretty high for HD when using AVC to encode. But it isn't extraordinary. I'd suggest you try it again with the new version of BD-RB. I notice you are using Windows 7, and there have been a lot of reported (very odd) issues when Windows 7 isn't configured properly for FFDSHOW. The new release configures DirectShow itself.

You probably have "Strict AVCHD" selected. DTS is not supported in the AVCHD standard, so it has to be converted.

good evening thank you for your answer but the box strict avchd n' is not notched and fts tracks it is converted or its HD tracks it is converted.

can be a problem of codec

good evening thank you for your answer but the box strict avchd n' is not notched and fts tracks it is converted or its HD tracks it is converted.

can be a problem of codecNo. It's just a matter of reencode or not. Are you sure you selected DTS?

I still have no idea on the GI Joe thing. The retail copy works fine, BD RB seemed to process fine. I burned the discs the same way I always do. It works fine on PowerDVD. The PS3 recognizes the disc and even displays the GI Joe Icon, but when it gets to where it's suppose to load the menu all I get is black screen. I don't know if there is any BD-Live stuff at the start of the disc, but I tried disabling that on the PS3 and still no go.

[ChldsPlay]

I've done GI Joe, and tested in power dvd, I will burn to bd-re and test in the PS3 and let you know if I have any issue.

Edit: Tested and confirmed working in the PS3, no issues at all, probably just a bad burn or bad authoring. Good luck!

Do you have firmware 3.01 or 3.0 (or another earlier version)?

The retail disc works, so I don't know why the backup wouldn't.

[jdobbs]

The retail disc works, so I don't know why the backup wouldn't.Especially menus... since in most cases they aren't even reencoded, they are copied intact for BD-25.

[Bullet1979]

I've tried twice now on this Madagascar 2 Blu-ray and it keeps failing. I've recently had a lot of titles start failing, actually, while some seem to encode just fine. I'm running an Intel i7 920 on Windows 7 64-bit. Below is a copy of the .ini file and log.

Any input would be appreciated! One thing I will say is that before this newest version, it was calling the FFMS2.DLL file and would succeed and have the horrible audio problem. So I did the fix posted earlier in this thread to make it so FFMS2.DLL was never called... I assume it may be related?

So I was rebuilding Matrix Reloaded. The total FINISHED folder size is 17.9GB, which is a little too big for a DVD9 backup which is what I have selected. Jdobbs, thanks for the new release. The last one was killing me.

I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x32. I haven't had this problem before as I've rebuilt over 100 blurays at this point using previous versions. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks.

I've attached the files as I got the "over characters" block. Please see attached files.

I'd suggest you try it again with the new version of BD-RB. I notice you are using Windows 7, and there have been a lot of reported (very odd) issues when Windows 7 isn't configured properly for FFDSHOW. The new release configures DirectShow itself.

Hi jdobbs, Thanks for your response.
A few days ago I followed the instructions given by
MickJT as a solution to the problem Windows 7 has with VC-1 video and AviSynth. Is this going to conflict with the FDDSHOW fix you incorporated in the new BD-REBUILDER version?
Should I undo that VC-1 fix first before running the new BD-REBUILDER?
Thanks.

Thanks.I'm not sure what that one did... so I'd suggest you undo and use this one. It's the only one I can confirm is a true fix.

Hi jdobbs,
Well I removed the first fix I told you about and tried another backup of Silverado using BD-Rebuilder 0.31.02... still not producing a 22GB output file.
I'm no expert, but a little logic tells me this is a BD-Rebuilder bug and not a Windows 7 issue. Why, because this small output file problem first arose for me while I was still running Vista. Keep in mind that I had made many sucessfull backups using Vista and older versions of BD-Rebuilder. The only thing that changed and started this size problem was the newer versions of BD-Rebuilder. Now that I am running Windows 7, the same problem has just carried over.
Secondly, in reading this forum, I see that other people are having output file size issues be they too big or too small. Not all of these people are running Windows 7.
This is just a layman's observation on what is happening. Of course, I respectfully defer to you, the expert and developer of BD-Rebuilder regarding any issues with the program.

@jdobbs

Hi!

You might want to either remove or modify the following statement from Post #1:BD Rebuilder has NOT BEEN MODIFIED/TESTED FOR USE ON WINDOWS 7. If you run into issues with Windows 7, please don't post bug reports. It will be updated, but not until the final version of Windows 7 is released in October 2009.

[DGenerateKane]

Newest version made my progress go backwards. Used to get to around 80% on PIRATES2 before the FFMS2.DLL error occurred, now I'm back to where I was a couple versions ago, 15.20% before encoding fails.

This is just a layman's observation on what is happening. Of course, I respectfully defer to you, the expert and developer of BD-Rebuilder regarding any issues with the program. You have to look at it from my perspective too. There are many, many users of this software -- and undersizing like you are quoting (8GB for a BD-25) just isn't happening to anyone else. It is unique to your system and your configuration. So what do I change in the software to make it stop undersizing just for you?

The reason CODECs are so important is that sometimes they may not give you what you think you are getting. For example, a CODEC can output the HD as a lower resolution -- which would definitely cause undersizing. Everyone using the standard Windows 7 CODECs are getting goofiness of different types. It may be audio sync, it may be sizing, there doesn't seem to be any consistency, but in the cases I've investigated it isn't BD-RB.

I know you'd like to blame the recent releases -- but frankly nothing that would be related to sizing has changed except the versions of X264 -- and based upon your INF file, BD Rebuilder is calculating setting the correct bitrate for the size needed. So you have to look at what has changed. The most likely candidate is Windows 7 -- especially since thousands of people are using X264 and not reporting undersizing.

If you can point me to a Region A disc that causes the problem -- I would be happy to pick it up and test it.

[Bullet1979]

When you ran BD Rebuilder v0.31.02, did it prompt you to setup the DirectShow CODECS? More importantly, did you let it do the job? Because this looks a lot like it wasn't done.

No, I have never gotten the prompt you describe... is there a way to access it manually?

[Capsbackup]

I have done quite a few full movie backups to BD-25, on my XP Pro SP3, 32bit machine, Region A, with most being 2 pass and quicker encodes for extras, and they come out between 22.0 to 22.6GB. A couple that were done with "High Speed" option and "One Pass (CRF)" came in at 21.2 to 21.8GB.
I usually prefer the accuracy of 2 pass encoding, but on occasion I experiment with the high speed option, which has been the only time they come out less than 22GB.
I am quite amazed at the quality and the reliability of my results!! It has been this way for me since the ability to keep HD audio was implemented.
I am quite suprised to read the complaints about sizing and VC1 encoding issues, something I personally have never experienced.
Windows 7 seems to be the common link here.
jdobbs, it appears a new challenge is before you!
But I will keep reading and keep following, and enjoying my good luck and happy successful results. :)

[nunavik40]

No. It's just a matter of reencode or not. Are you sure you selected DTS?

hello the box for not reencoder the track its dts is well notched idem for not reencoder in ac3. made a test this morning with the movie hellboy which had a track its in dts and the result gives me a track in ac3.voilà the files:

I know you'd like to blame the recent releases -

My intent was not to blame anyone or anything. My intent was to report a possible bug in the program which is what this forum is for. Blame doesn't help anybody.
Having said that, if BD-Rebuilder is to remain a viable piece of software, it is going to have to work with Windows7 at some point. So as an earlier post stated..."You have your work cut out for you"
Good Luck and thanks for all your good work.

Hi forum: I did the the whole BD RE proccess and it took about 61/2 hours to complete, What's the next thing I do to burn it to dual layer dvd. thank you.

Good Luck and thanks for all your good work.It already works with Windows 7. I'm using it without issues on both a 32 and 64 bit version Win7 Home Premium. BD Rebuilder makes the changes to the DirectShow registry needed to enable FFDSHOW. But many people have already played with the CODECs in Windows 7 for other software. If it's been "finaggled" -- there's just not a lot I can do. I guess I can add an option to force the settings.

Call Microsoft -- they're the ones who implemented a DirectShow standard and programming API that everyone followed (including FFDSHOW) and then decided to reinvent it in Windows 7 for their own amusement.

I'm trying to help you here. As I said in my previous response -- point me to a problematic Region A disc and I will see if I can repeat it and fix it. But honestly, after processing several hundred discs -- I've never seen undersizing like you've reported.

[jdobbs]

Hi forum: I did the the whole BD RE proccess and it took about 61/2 hours to complete, What's the next thing I do to burn it to dual layer dvd. thank you. Install ImgBurn (if you haven't already), and select "Burn Current Disc (with ImgBurn)" from the FILE menu. You can also set BD-RB to burn automatically after encoding is complete (but ImgBurn has to be installed).

[Bullet1979]

jdobbs, how can I "unfinaggle" the DirectShow and FFDSHOW settings so that BD-Rebuilder can operate properly again? I do not get the prompt that you asked me about when running 0.31.0.2.

@jdobbs

Has there been any more progress on remuxing the troublesome secondary audio files for PiP, as that's about the only thing missing now but it does seem that there are more and more discs using this now and also placing the 'extras' as PiP content rather than standalone?

[Pod7381]

I'm trying to help you here. As I said in my previous response -- point me to a problematic Region A disc and I will see if I can repeat it and fix it.

Hi jdobbs,
One other quick thing... before I made this last attempt using 0.31.02, I uninstalled and then reinstalled FDDSHOW x32 & FDDSHOW x64. I did this to reverse any of the changes that the VC-1 FIX posted on this forum might have made to the FDDSHOW settings. I did not uninstall and reinstall AVISYNTH, thinking it was not necessary. Do you think reinstalling FDDSHOW was enough or should I reinstall all the required programs that work with BD-Rebuilder?
This small output file problem has cropped up on all my recent attempts to backup various BD's.
The latest one I am having this problem with(as you can see in the log) is Region A of SILVERADO.

PS:Your idea to incorporate a Registry checker in your next version of BD-Rebuilder is an excellent one. That might be the answer to my problem. Thanks.

[jdobbs]

Didn't know if it was Region A. I'll pick up Silverado and see how it sizes on my Win7 systems.

[ChldsPlay]

jodbbs,

I ran GI Joe through again, and the same thing keeps happening. As far as I can tell the only thing BD RB did was resize 6 videos (main movie and 5 trailers). I can't understand why this won't work when the original does. Is BD-Live possibly screwing things up somehow? I'll post the files again so you can see if you can spot anything. I can't imagine there's a problem with the encryption since it works fine on PowerDVD and I wouldn't think it would even let me save it to my computer if it wasn't Decrypted properly. I used DVD Fab to decrypt it. I might try turning AnyDVDHD back on to see if it mentions any problems. But the PS3 doesn't give me any error messages, so I don't think that would be it either.

Ok, I think it has something to do with BD-Live. I put the disc in my PC and turned AnyDVD on and it plays fine in PowerDVD, but if I go into AnyDVD and check "Disable BD-Live" and run PowerDVD it does the same thing as the PS3 does.

Edit: Maybe not exactly the same. The PS3 goes through from title 2 to title 57 then title 4 and locks up on title 1. Power DVD stops at title 57 when it doesn't work. Also, I noticed the video file (paramount logo) that is listed as title 1 on DVDFab doesn't play correctly in Nero Showtime, but the others do. The video plays fine in Windows Media Player and PowerDVD though so I think that is just an issue with Nero.

This doesn't really make much sense.

[Bullet1979]

I'll add some more code to the next version to look at all the registry entries and make sure they are set. Right now I'm only looking at one to see if BD-RB had already been there... but if it was changed by something else, it might appear as having already been completed when it wasn't.

If you got the message and accidentally decided not to let it execute, the following was added to your INI file:

SUPPRESS_FF_WARNING=1

If you delete that flag or set it to "0", BD-RB will show the message again.

I'm wondering if this is not the issue that's causing my problems because that line is no where in my INI file. I even tried redownloading BD-Rebuilder and extracted it to a different directory so that it would have a pure INI file... no prompt comes up at all.

EDIT: I purposely screwed with some settings and got the prompt to come up so that BD-RB would prompt me to change settings - the prompt came up and then confirmed that my settings are now correct so we'll see what happens now.

Ok, I think it has something to do with BD-Live. I put the disc in my PC and turned AnyDVD on and it plays fine in PowerDVD, but if I go into AnyDVD and check "Disable BD-Live" and run PowerDVD it does the same thing as the PS3 does.

Edit: Maybe not exactly the same. The PS3 goes through from title 2 to title 57 then title 4 and locks up on title 1. Power DVD stops at title 57 when it doesn't work. Also, I noticed the video file (paramount logo) that is listed as title 1 on DVDFab doesn't play correctly in Nero Showtime, but the others do. The video plays fine in Windows Media Player and PowerDVD though so I think that is just an issue with Nero.

This doesn't really make much sense.

I have made a full movie backup to BD-25 of the region A version of GI Joe, no problems here, at least for playback on my Sony BX1. Perhaps you could try to take your burned disc to a local retailer that sells Blu-Ray players, and test it on a few standalones, especially a Sony. This could help determine if your burn is bad or compatibility issues with the PS3.
I use AnyDVDHD, and BD live works on my backups, so I doubt BD Live is the culprit.

[kanerulz69]

is there anyway to fix this error with bd rebuilder on the movie earth?

[rippn]

@jdobbs

Has there been any more progress on remuxing the troublesome secondary audio files for PiP, as that's about the only thing missing now but it does seem that there are more and more discs using this now and also placing the 'extras' as PiP content rather than standalone?

I 2nd this, twilight, groundhogs day, and mummy 3 all region A experience this secondary audio issue. Would love this feature implemented as it seems to be the only gaping hole left. Any ETA?

I know the burn isn't bad since I've made about 5 discs. All other movies I've burnt have worked fine, and all on the PS3. I didn't use AnyDvdHD originally, I used DVDFab, but changing the settings of BD-Live on AnyDvdHD while the BD-R was in the PC caused a similar issue on PowerDVD. Another poster said his worked fine on his PS3, so there has to be some setting somewhere that I'm missing.

New to Blu Ray backup not flaming but no luck with this program on Windows 7 64 bit. Had the audio sync problem with 301 and crashes with 302. Tried to cleanup codecs and reinstall them but now no go at all. Runtime error 53 could not find valid path for required tools x264.exe, tsmuxer.exe, wavi.exe, aften.exe, decomb.dll, mkvmerge.exe, recommend reinstall all included files. This is over my head. Not ready yet.

Not ready yet. Just so you know, I'm getting crashes with this release also on Windows 7 64bit. I suspect it may be the newer version of X264, but I don't know for sure. I'm reverting to an older version of X264 to see if I can find out what gives. I'd suggest you trying the same. But I wouldn't rule out bugs in Windows 7 64bit itself -- because it only seems to be happening there. This is over my head. Not ready yetJust a comment -- if you don't know what a beta is (which appears to be the case) you really shouldn't be testing it. No one is suggesting this software is "ready" -- if it were it wouldn't still be in beta.

[Race Guy]

Speaking of the new version of x264, jdobbs. I just did 3 different flix (all full backup some MPEG 4 some VC-1, some BD-9 some BD-25) on 2 different 'puters (one XP & one Vista) using 31.02 and ALL of them show SEVERE "pixelation" on the main title when played back on my Oppo!

I think you know what I mean, when the scene is not moving, it looks OK, but as soon as something moves, the moving element "breaks up". The menus on the discs look good, prolly 'cause they haven't been recoded.

Everything has been perfect in the "quality department" until this release, so logically, it's the new version of x264. I went back to 31.01 & am re-running 2 of the backups which complete later today. I'll let you know what happens.

I'm using bd rebuilder on 2 different machines running Windows 7 x64 with no issue. The only thing I have done different than the first page install is this fix:

Install ffdshow rev3124_20091103_clsid both generic and x64 builds consecutively.

Load up the ffdshow directshow video config utility for both 32bit and 64bit, and select "libavcodec" for VC-1. It is disabled by default. If you can't find it, it is underneath the "WMV" codecs in the list.

Download from http://www.codecguide.com/windows7_p...er_tweaker.htm and Win7DSFilterTweaker (make sure you have done the above step first).

ffdshow should now be an option for VC-1 in both 32bit and 64bit sections. Select them.

Reboot the computer.

I've done a couple encodes with the latest release and not seeing the problem your describing, I'm using Highest (very slow) going to bd-25 so don't know if my setup varies from yours, but everything looks good here.

Reboot the computer. I just ran again with an older version of X264 and it crashed again...

I'll try a newer FFDSHOW version and see if that has an impact. I don't believe its a good idea to select LIBAVCODEC for VC-1, though -- as I don't believe it supports interlaced. You may be better off if you would select WMV9.

[EDIT] I upgraded to FFDSHOW "ffdshow_rev3133_20091117_clsid" and it appears to be working ok now -- I'll let you know after a few hours of processing. But the last attempt at this disc crashed pretty quickly, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Speaking of the new version of x264, jdobbs. I just did 3 different flix (all full backup some MPEG 4 some VC-1, some BD-9 some BD-25) on 2 different 'puters (one XP & one Vista) using 31.02 and ALL of them show SEVERE "pixelation" on the main title when played back on my Oppo!

I think you know what I mean, when the scene is not moving, it looks OK, but as soon as something moves, the moving element "breaks up". The menus on the discs look good, prolly 'cause they haven't been recoded.

Everything has been perfect in the "quality department" until this release, so logically, it's the new version of x264. I went back to 31.01 & am re-running 2 of the backups which complete later today. I'll let you know what happens.

I have just completed Star Trek, region A to a movie only BD5 and a full backup to BD-25, and both look great, hard to tell the difference, especially for a BD5 two hour movie!
Also, did the first three The Fast and the Furious movies to BD5, movie only, and there is quite the action in those movies as well, and all three look perfect.
So I disagree that there is a problem at all.
Note:
The Fast and the Furious is VC1, the other three are MPEG-4 AVC.

Would you say completely undo the fix, meaning go back in to filtertweaker and select Microsoft rather than ffdshow, or just select wmv9 on the vc-1 setting in ffdshow? From your post it looks like just make the change in ffdshow, but want to make sure. Also do you think the x64 version of ffdshow is necessary? I make any changes needed for FFDSHOW when BD-RB starts up. The selection for WMV9 is done within the FFDSHOW configuration -- but BD-RB does it if is sees you have not been preconfigured (you'll know because a dialog will popup asking you if it is already to do it). No, I don't think the 64 bit version is necessary.

By the way, my system appears to have stopped crashing now that I upgraded to ffdshow_rev3133_20091117_clsid.exe.

[jdobbs]

I have just completed Star Trek, region A to a movie only BD5 and a full backup to BD-25, and both look great, hard to tell the difference, especially for a BD5 two hour movie!
Also, did the first three The Fast and the Furious movies to BD5, movie only, and there is quite the action in those movies as well, and all three look perfect.
So I disagree that there is a problem at all.
Note:
The Fast and the Furious is VC1, the other three are MPEG-4 AVC.No quality issues from my end either...

I've updated the first post of this thread to link to the latest FFDSHOW.

I Tried the same movie Earth_US as well and im on windows Vista home premium and i get the same encountered error, seems no one knows why its doing it or how to fix it with BD rebuilder, i have asked and no one has replied back to it either, its not like you can remove it from the stream folder and put it back cause its 25+GB and it has to be smaller :(

[jdobbs]

seems no one knows why its doing it or how to fix it with BD rebuilder, i have asked and no one has replied back to it either
Again, I refer to the first post of this very thread:
If you decide to download and test -- please post any errors you find in this thread. Don't push bug resolution or keep asking for a fix. I will get to the reported bugs, but only when I can find the time.
From now on whenever I see someone repeat a post -- that report goes to the bottom of the list. Being demanding with something you are getting for free just isn't appropriate or helpful. It's hard enough justifying the time I'm spending on this project to myself as it is.

With that said -- I'll see if I can find a copy of "Earth" and see what's up.

[Race Guy]

No quality issues from my end either...

I've updated the first post of this thread to link to the latest FFDSHOW.

I just redid a "31.02 pixelator", VC-1 full to BD-9 with 31.01 & it plays PERFECT.

So SOMETHING went FUBAR with 31.02 jdobbs......., at least on my end.

See ya!

[jdobbs]

A "31.02 pixelator"??? WTF? You're acting as if there has been a reported pixelation problem with 0.31.02 (other than by you)...

The only change that has any effect on that at all would be the new X264 version. Of course if you are using Windows 7 you would also be using FFDSHOW -- but if you weren't you'd be having other issues.

Try the version of X264 from 31.01 with 31.02. At least then you can see if there is any difference. You'd just replace X264.EXE in the bd_rebuilder\tools folder.

[Capsbackup]

Nothing really different or special about Earth_US. It is MPEG-4 AVC (PiP) with 1 DTS-HD Master audio, 1 DTS, 5 DD 640kbps audio, and 1 DTS Express secondary audio track.
I made a movie only of this disc to BD5, works great.
00001.m2ts is 25.9GB size, 1080P, so if you just want a movie only to BD-25, you should be successful without reencoding, just remove some audio tracks.
Perhaps try a movie only to BD5 just to see if you can successfully reencode 00001.m2ts without doing a full backup. This should confirm if you are setup correctly.

[Capsbackup]

@Race Guy;
So SOMETHING went FUBAR with 31.02 jdobbs......., at least on my end.
This is more likely! :p

[Dark Shikari]

Speaking of the new version of x264, jdobbs. I just did 3 different flix (all full backup some MPEG 4 some VC-1, some BD-9 some BD-25) on 2 different 'puters (one XP & one Vista) using 31.02 and ALL of them show SEVERE "pixelation" on the main title when played back on my Oppo!If someone can confirm that the Oppo cannot play back --weightp 2 correctly, I have direct contact with the owner of the company and I can get this fixed ;)

[ChldsPlay]

I tried my GI Joe disc on another PS3 and it still did the same thing, so the problem is somewhere in the settings of either DVDFab, BD Rebuilder, or the burning software that is preventing the PS3 from reading it properly. I don't think it would be the burn since it was burnt the same as all the others, so that leaves DVDFab or BD Rebuilder.

Or the PS3!! Why not try it in a standalone, just to prove your point more convincingly. :cool:

Well, noting your animation, :p , I continue to confirm NO pixelation problems here.
Funny how the issue becomes BD-RB when things don't work right, or maybe .x264??
But they are working just fine for me! :)

[chudm]

Or the PS3!! Why not try it in a standalone, just to prove your point more convincingly. :cool:

i did a full backup of gi joe with 31.01 and was perfect on my ps3:)

[Capsbackup]

i did a full backup of gi joe with 31.01 and was perfect on my ps3:)

So your backup does work on your PS3, which is good to know. So ChldsPlay either has a bad rip, bad reencode, bad burn, or a picky PS3.
As jdobbs has reported, he uses a Sony standalone player, S360 I think, which he confirms success with. The reason I mention testing on a Sony standalone is for similarities on playback.
We are all free to chose and buy whatever player we wish, and for standard playback of retail Blu-Rays, all will probably work. However, for AVCHD and BD-RB backups, Sony's seem to have a better track record.
So process of elimination is what I suggest, to discover the problem he is having.
But, this is just MHO. :)

[Dirk Diggler]

I backed up Star Trek, GI Joe and a few other movies with the latest version of x264, BD Rebuilder and Windows 7 64 bit and I see NONE of the problems described in the last 10 posts

So your backup does work on your PS3, which is good to know. So ChldsPlay either has a bad rip, bad reencode, bad burn, or a picky PS3.
As jdobbs has reported, he uses a Sony standalone player, S360 I think, which he confirms success with. The reason I mention testing on a Sony standalone is for similarities on playback.
We are all free to chose and buy whatever player we wish, and for standard playback of retail Blu-Rays, all will probably work. However, for AVCHD and BD-RB backups, Sony's seem to have a better track record.
So process of elimination is what I suggest, to discover the problem he is having.
But, this is just MHO. :)

never had any problems with my ps3, every full backup to bd 25 i had made with bdrb worked perfect on ps3, and bd5/bd9 movie only too, tried on my father s360 and its the same deal, but in his s360 he can play full backup to bd5/9 (but i dont like so much stuff on a dvd5/dvd9)

[ChldsPlay]

I think I'll just go with movie only on GI Joe and move on. There's really not anything else of importance on the disc anyway.

[Protecus]

It is some months ago, when I did my last reencode with the great BD-Rebuild software.

I just set up a new computer with a fresh Windows 7 x64. After setting up the OS, I installed ffdshow revision 3130, Avisynth 2.5.7 and Matroska Splitter. I activated the MPEG1 and MPEG2 codec, as usual.

But trying to reencode a Blu-ray ends in an error.

Hi there, new to BD-Rebuilder and Blurays in general. I've been using DVD-Rebuilder for a long time and have even purchased it. Totally worth it.

However, I have not yet been able to test BD-Rebuilder because it refuses to read my Bluray rips. I've ripped 2 BDs - Kung Fu Hustle and Fight Club (Both from Taiwan) with Anydvd HD. When I try to select the source in BD-Rebuilder, I get one of two
errors:

SourceCheck() 00055 2501
or
SourceCheck() 00006 2501

Any idea on what I'm doing wrong? Do I need specific settings in Anydvd HD or should I be using a different program to rip them?

By the way, this is Windows 7 x64. I have FFDShow, Avisynth, and everything else installed. BD-Rebuilder starts fine... I just can't select a source.

[rippn]

I tried my GI Joe disc on another PS3 and it still did the same thing, so the problem is somewhere in the settings of either DVDFab, BD Rebuilder, or the burning software that is preventing the PS3 from reading it properly. I don't think it would be the burn since it was burnt the same as all the others, so that leaves DVDFab or BD Rebuilder.

DVDFab is in beta and I believe jdobbs in a previous post advised that you not use it but use anydvd hd, I believe most everyone here would also agree as there are zero problems with it. But me and others have confirmed no problems with GI Joe ran through bd rebuilder and the PS3 so you can figure from that, the issue is on your end.

BD Rebuilder is not a Decrypter you will need to use AnyDvd or DVDFab6 to first rip the movie to the HD and then use BD Rebuilder to compress the unecrypted movie

Edit Just seen you used AnyDvd Hd are you ripping the movie to HD first and then processing with BF Rebuilder

Yes, I'm using AnyDVD HD. I load the Bluray, start AnyDVD, and then use "Rip Video DVD to Harddisk...". After it finished... I start BD-Rebuilder and choose the Main Folder as the source and I get the error.

I've also tried selecting the BDMV folder and the STREAM folder, but I get the same error.

I've also tried loading AnyDVD and then manually copying the DVD with Windows Explorer. Nothing seems to work.

So... am I just seriously unlucky? Do I need to do something specific?

[TheFork]

Yes, I'm using AnyDVD HD. I load the Bluray, start AnyDVD, and then use "Rip Video DVD to Harddisk...". After it finished... I start BD-Rebuilder and choose the Main Folder as the source and I get the error.

Personally I start AnyDVD and choose "Rip to Image". This creates an ISO which I then mount with Virtual Clone Drive (free from Slysoft). I then start BDRB and point it at this virtual drive.

I have never yet had a problem...

Perhaps try using this method instead ("rip to image", instead of "rip video DVD") and see what happens?

Fork.

[kanerulz69]

Nothing really different or special about Earth_US. It is MPEG-4 AVC (PiP) with 1 DTS-HD Master audio, 1 DTS, 5 DD 640kbps audio, and 1 DTS Express secondary audio track.
I made a movie only of this disc to BD5, works great.
00001.m2ts is 25.9GB size, 1080P, so if you just want a movie only to BD-25, you should be successful without reencoding, just remove some audio tracks.
Perhaps try a movie only to BD5 just to see if you can successfully reencode 00001.m2ts without doing a full backup. This should confirm if you are setup correctly.

i never do bd-5 / bd-9's i only do bd-25 rips, as only use bdr25gb disc

[Pod7381]

Didn't know if it was Region A. I'll pick up Silverado and see how it sizes on my Win7 systems.

I just wanted to let you know not to bother testing Silverado. After I updated FFDSHOW to the version linked in your first post, I was able to backup the movie successfully. I am now trying LA Confidential which is VC-1 to see if that works now.
I am very happy to have BD-Rebuilder back and working!

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs;
has your short term experience with Windows 7 been one that you would recommend it for us BD-RB users?
It would appear pretty risky at this time, but it sounds like results are mixed, with you reporting mostly success.
I really don't think I will be upgrading soon, and have been having only successful results with XP Pro.
Perhaps, for me any how, this new OS needs to have more time testing it before I jump in. :)

Perhaps, for me any how, this new OS needs to have more time testing it before I jump in. :) I think that if you just do a standard install and then run BD-RB (so it can configure DirectShow) you will be fine. It's likely the people who did manual configs that are having issues. Mine works fine. As for whether it is worth the upgrade -- probably not. I didn't think Vista was much of an improvement over XP, and this seems to just be a minor upgrade to Vista from what I see. I did it mainly so i could test BD-RB with it.

Unfortunately, this does not work either. I get the same error.

anyone else know what I'm doing wrong? I'll pick up another BD and try it on something different next week.

@MorbidPenguin

Hi!I've ripped 2 BDs - Kung Fu Hustle and Fight Club (Both from Taiwan)

1) Are you certain that these are commercial Blue Ray discs? Or could they be Chinese AVCHD discs? Or could they be bootleg discs?

2) Are you able to play the purchased discs?

3) What is the total filesize of each of the discs, according to Explorer?

[MorbidPenguin]

@MorbidPenguin

Hi!

1) Are you certain that these are commercial Blue Ray discs? Or could they be Chinese AVCHD discs? Or could they be bootleg discs?


No idea. How do I tell? These were purchased from a Blockbuster, so I'm pretty sure they are legit Bluray discs.


2) Are you able to play the purchased discs?


Yes, I can play them on my Sony s360. They also work fine with MPC-HC on Win7 x64


3) What is the total filesize of each of the discs, according to Explorer?

Kung Fu Hustle is 22.7 GB (24,447,283,200). I deleted Fight Club from my computer for now.

Anyway, I think it might be a bigger problem between BD-Rebuilder and Win7 x64. I have downloaded the HDMV demo from here:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=948496

It's supposed to be an accurate representation of a Bluray Disc for demo purposes. I get the same exact error with that:

11/22/09 [13:45:14] SourceCheck() 00006 2501

So, it doesn't appear to be something between my discs. It seems as if there is something wrong with either my Win7 x64 (it's a legit copy - I have a technet sub) or BD-Rebuilder on my system.

jdobbs, is there any file I can post or email you to help you troubleshoot this bug?

Thanks.

source path problem

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a very annoying problem that for non-unicode language such as Chinese, the source path is invalid. We must set the non-unicode programing language to English in the "control center/language and region/advanced" and reboot in order to use BDRB. Otherwise, an error message (source check 00006) telling you the selected source is not BD format keeps on forever. Anyone knows any workaround other than doing the language setting? Because after setting the language to English, all other programs may have invalid path and the language should be re-set back to English and reboot again. Thanks in advance.

PS: Clown_BD_v0.40b.exe and CLIPINF_Editor_v0.02b.exe do not have the same problem for source path.

Just some feedback. I can confirm that build 1342 causes pixelization on the OPPO BDP-83.I have tested a disk this weekend (DVD-9 Movie Only).It does not affect the PS3. I also tested with build 1310 and it was fine on the OPPO. So, Dark Shikari it would be great if you could report it to OPPO.

Many Thanks.

I have two Sony standalones -- and this happens on neither of them. Can you give me a specific disc (region A) that has this problem?

I tried to backup Death Race ( USA ) to a BD-9 at the high quality setting. I tried this movie twice, once with the option "Limit to one track for each language" checked and once with it unchecked.

The copy plays nicely on a Sony S360 standalone, however the audio is only working on the theatrical version. There is an Unrated version on this title but the audio is missing on my DVD-9. I left the INI file unchanged. I am using version 0.31.02 beta. I ripped the whole disc as an .ISO via a trial version of ANYDVDHD 6.6.0.3 and mounted the iso via Daemon tools and pointed BD Rebuilder to the mounted .iso.

Has anyone had this issue with this title or a similar title with 2 versions of the film ?

In the file HIDDENOPTS.TXT i see the following :

PROCESS_SECONDARY=n n = 0/1 - if set to 0, BD-RB will not process secondary audio/video on full backup

When i open the BDREBUILDER.INI i see no option for "PROCESS_SECONDARY" to change it from 0 to 1 .
I also tried and add that to the BDREBUILDER.INI and set it to ( PROCESS_SECONDARY=1 ) and save it and then reopen
the program and i still have a RED X next to AUD_02 (2nd) DTS-HD, Stero, English. When i double click on all the other
audio streams they toggle on and off indicated by the red X but that is not the case with AUD_02 (2nd) DTS-HD, Stero, English

I do not know how to upload a sample. Anyway I will make a sample in "Strict AVCHD" mode tonight and try to upload it tomorrow morning.

Basically whatever content or disk (Blu-Ray) I encode using BD-RB and x264 build 1342 always produces the same results on the OPPO (pixilization).

@Phe0nix

Hi!

Since you are trying to do a full disc copy to a DVD9/BD9, I think your problem is simply one of insufficient space for the audio. I say this because, according to my records, I made a perfectly good movie-only DVD9/BD9 backup of the extended version, using .AC3...

[Duppie]

Just as a test, you could try adding:

TWEAK_PASS_ONE=--weightp 1
TWEAK_PASS_TWO=--weightp 1

and see what effect that has...

Thanks for the tip. Weightp set to 1 also produces the artifacts on the OPPO. The only time it does not produce artifacts is when I set weightp to 0 (disabled).

[Duppie]

Can you upload a sample for me to send to them?

Please find the uploads below:

Unzip the clips, copy to USB and select AVCHD under the relevent directory to play.

Just one question from my side. For future encodes should I use 1342 with weightp set to 0 or even the new 1347 until OPPO fixes the problem? Is there such a significant / fisual improvement over 1310? Or should I just stick to 1310 or 1318 (which was the last version before weightp)?

Thanks.

Secondary audio in DTS cannot currently be processed -- because there is no way to demux/mux them.

Is there a reason why some discs use AC3 for the secondary audio and others DTS-Express (or are the ac3 just outside spec)?
Given that DTS-Express can be demuxed and re-encoded to ac3, is there something in the manipulation of the flags which would stop an ac3 secondary audio stream being substituted? You are able to change the main audio streams from HD to ac3 so it would seem feasible.

You are able to change the main audio streams from HD to ac3 so it would seem feasible.DTS Express can't be demuxed by TSMUXER, nor can it be converted because I'm not sure it is recognized by a codec (but I'll have to check that). The encode couldn't be standard AC3, secondary audio is required to be Dolby Digital Plus or DTS Express -- and I'm not aware of a DD+ freeware encoder. Right now I can keep DD+ intact because TSMUXER can demux it, but I can't reencode it.

OK - It's eac3to that can handle it. I did a test but didn't realise it needed to be ac3+ and just converted it to an ac3 file.

Ripped Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 1 discs 1, 2, & 3 using AnyDVD HD 6.6.0.3, encoded using BD Rebuilder 0.31.01 full disc option. No errors but when playing on an LG BD390, the FBI warning displays then nothing. The player locks up and will only respond to a power off. The copied disc plays fine on a Samsung BD-P1400 however.

I suppose you do not have any comments on my questions or is there another threat I should ask these questions?

Thank You for the support.

I was hoping someone could help me.
I am trying to encode from VC-1 to H264 and get this error.
I used TxMuxer and chose 'Blue-Ray', which gives me the Certificate and the BDMV folder.

JUST before BD Rebuilder tries to encode, it says "Converting Field base or secondary stream"
I have tried adding the 'process_secondary=1' line to the hidden options, but same thing happens.
Here is the log from BD Rebuilder:

I just got Terminator: Salvation Asia-Pacific release, and having the same - Reading buffer overflow. Possible container streams are not synchronized. Please, verify stream fps. error.

This is on 3 different computers, two with XP, one with Windows Server 2008 (essentially win7), each time a different rip, and one I tried to convert on the fly (i.e. opening the files straight off the disc, no ripping first).

Coincidentally I am having the same problem with both X-Files movies, like another member mentioned before, which was attributed to a bad rip. I am using the latest AnyDVD HD to rip.

Any ideas? I'm going to give HD Decrypter a go just in case...

[eTiMaGo]

fwiw it looks like it's a TSMuxer bug, tried to open the offending file in there and it gave an error of a stream not recognized. Seeing as the program has not been updated in months, is there any glimmer of a resolution here?

Seeing as the program has not been updated in months, is there any glimmer of a resolution here? Sometimes you can try extracting the streams one at a time and they'll work when you get that error. That error used to be fairly common in TSMUXER, then I built a routine into BD-RB that catches it and does the video separate from the audio and it went away. It looks now like occasionally pops up even with audio/subs-only.

Normally it means that it was a bad rip (google it and you'll see references that indicate it goes away with a re-rip).

Are you trying to process secondary video? If you are, try it without it.

[eTiMaGo]

I'll look into that, but I've ripped this movie twice already on two different machines, with the same problem. Unless it is an AnyDVD-related error, that is...

Are you trying to process secondary video? If you are, try it without it.

Thanks, I have now set that option, we'll know in a couple of hours...

[isoss]

Yes, it is on by default. You do not have to do anything unless you do not want to have the secondary video at all.
BD-RB will say what type the secondary audio is, and if it is Dolby Digital Plus, it will be enabled. DTS will not.

is it not posible to copy the secondary audio without converting it?

This is the same problem i'm getting but with the UK release.

[DIEGO7-5]

Hi jdobbs,

1280 x 720@50p encode from 1080i source is muxed @ 25p in final output and plays in "slow motion".

And would it make sense to use "ConvertFPS" instead of "ChangeFPS" to get smoother results?

[Capsbackup]

is it not posible to copy the secondary audio without converting it?

No, not at this time. :cool:

Hey there guys i have been reading about the mscomctl.ocx error if Windows7 and wondering if anyone has a fix yet.
The Run as administrator did not work if me.,
I have tried the mscomctl.ocx in the "system" folder, used the register updater, rebooted with no luck.
I have tried the mscomctl.ocx in the "system32" folder, used the register updater, rebooted with no luck.
I have tried the mscomctl.ocx in the "sysWOW32" folder, used the register updater, rebooted with no luck.

Your source is 8.8GB & your targer is BD-25. That's an obvious problem.

This is the same problem i'm getting but with the UK release.

That did the trick! just open the BDREBUILDER.INI file in the program folder, and add this line:

PROCESS_SECONDARY=0

This will completely skip the picture-in-picture features, but that's a small price to pay :)

Now, I am having a totally different problem, I just got Ice Age 3, Asia-Pacific release again, and upon re-encoding the main movie, x264.exe crashes. I tried to get a newer version of that program, but 31.02 already has the latest, and this crash was reproduced on two different computers. It happens in the 2nd pass in 2-pass mode, right now I have re-launched the whole thing in CRF mode, let's hope it helps, but has anybody experienced something like this before?

An update to this, processing's complete with no errors, but after burning the movie (this is a conversion to BD25), it breaks up horribly while playing, so there's definitely some kind of encoding problem :(

Is there any information about the source files that you guys would like me to post here for analysis?

*UPDATE*
Can't open the original ripped m2ts file with VLC, no picture loads (works just fine with other movies), so could be a bad rip, time to try that again :)

*UPDATE 2*
On Slysoft's forum, other people are having problems ripping this title... the mystery deepens...

[Cabal2000]

hey man!!
I tried that and still a no go. Both as admin and without.

[eTiMaGo]

hey man!!
I tried that and still a no go. Both as admin and without.

Try this:

It installs a bunch of missing DLLs and other components required for some programs, worked like a charm for me!

To quote myself again, an updated file from Slysoft and it's all good to go :D

[eTiMaGo]

Just an observation... I lent a few of my converted discs to a friend who has an old S300 (slow, clunky old thing), and he said a lot of them are jerky while playing, and sure enough, any kind of scene with fast movement, it stutters. Depends on the movie though, which is strange. Some movies don't even load at all into the menu.

We tried to update the player's firmware, didn't help..

So yes, I know, the real solution is to upgrade to a proper player, but is there anything that could be tweaked in BD-Rebuilder to improve compatibility?

I had same prob with NAM2 and had to download AnyDVDHD Beta and replace hash.bin file to get it to rip correctly. If you try to play either the disk or the rip and it stutters or has sync issues during playback it will give you the parse error. I tried to process the rip with ClownBD and TSMuxeR and both gave up with error messages about damaged source file and DTS-HD (tract 2) Bad frame detected. Fix AnyDVD-HD and rerip after you play the DVD to make sure it plays OK. If it don't play it won't rip correctly even if it does finish ripping with no errors. Good Luck Allright. Many thanks to Jdobbs for great Prog., after Xmas more donations!

BD25, bitrate in those parts around 15-20Mbps, nothing earth-shattering :)

BD25, bitrate in those parts around 15-20Mbps, nothing earth-shattering :) I have an S-301, which is the same player... I haven't used it in a while, but never had any issues. I'll do a test -- it could be changes to X264, maybe? Did it just start recently?

[eTiMaGo]

Well so far it's only been with Up, and I also tried it on another player (LG), where it was breaking up into artifacts in some scenes. So I'm thinking it might have been a bad rip. Other movies stuttered once or twice but played fine after that.

Could be a bad burn or disc too... the stuttering could just be the Sony's way of dealing with read errors, while the LG shows it as blocking.

Yes, Ice age 3 also worked here after i updated anydvd.

Thanx for the help to the people who helped me get on the right track, and thanx to jobbs for a great program.



6.6.0.4 worked fine with IceAge III Region B here.

Another glitch to report - Audio sync issues with titles that are split up into several M2TS files, for example those seamless branching theatrical/extended editions like Terminator Salvation.

In many of the extended scenes, the sound goes out of sync with the picture, then back to normal on the "common" scenes... and this is converted on a plain-jane Windows XP system, with 31.02, and happens on all Blu-ray players I have tested with.

I also had this problem on an earlier version of the program, with the movie Walk Hard.

Any suggestions?

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.31.03). Changes for this release:
- Corrected an error in which could result in audio sync
issues. This was related to the depth of search for
pulldown in MPEG-2 and VC-1 sources.
- Updated the DirectShow configuration routine to check
all FFDSHOW settings and execute if any are not set
correctly.
- Added a new hidden parameter. "FORCE_NOENCODE=1" will
tell BD Rebuilder to keep the origina video intact, no
matter what size. Note that if you have "FORCE_ENCODE"
set as well, encoding will take precedence.
- Added the "--nal-hrd" option to the X264 command line
to provide better Blu-ray compatibility (as opposed to
depending upon TSMUXER).
- Add a new hidden parameter. "WEIGHTP=n" enables or
disables explicit weighted prediction on p-frames. This
is to counter several reports of "blockiness" on systems
that do not properly support it. Setting "WEIGHTP=1"
will enable the feature, the default value is set to "0"
in order to avoid having to explain the issues. Note,
however, that the reported issues are in the players --
not the encoder or feature itself.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1354). Also now use a version that
includes the "--nal-hrd" patch.
- Corrected an error in which "576p" was not displayed
properly in the streams list when detected.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I just downloaded and installed 0.31.03 from the link on the first post. I started a DVD-9 transcode: extracting A/V streams completed and when it got to the point where BD Rebuilder was performing the "crf" analysis it crashed with the typical Microsoft popup stating x246.exe had crashed and would I like to report it to Microsoft. I rebooted the computer and got the same problem again at the same point.

Running XP Pro x64 fully patched, BD-R was set to transcode to DVD-9, x264, High Quality, 1 pass crf.

Here is the last entry from the log file:

I just tried it on mine and CRF is working correctly. Have you changed anything else recently?

It would help if you copied the command line in LASTCMD.TXT (in the BD-RB directory) and pasted it into a command window. That way we could see what error X264 is encountering.

You may want to check the version of FFDSHOW you are using. I had some crashing with an earlier version on my Win7 x64 system and after upgrading to Revision 3133 it went away.

Sorry, didn't see the last part your post about "lastcmd.txt". Here it is:

[Rizlaw]

I just downloaded and installed ffdshow 3137, I tried to resume the transcode and immediately got a crash relating to x254.exe. I am starting, again, from the beginning and will advise if it works with the new ffdshow 3137.

[Rizlaw]

Sorry to report that it still crashes with ffdshow 3137 and 31.03 BD-R. I'm going back to 31.02 to see if that still works.

I know that Sucks! Bd Re builder Usually will fail on that. I would suggest doing a movie only encode, or alt movie only encode. BD re builder will then list all of the M2TS files in order. (Do not use BD re builder to do the encode yet. I would then use TS Muxer and Join the M2TS files in the order the BD re builder Lists. That will then Join all the files into 1 M2ts file. Then you can load BD re builder again and do the recode useing the new Muxed file.

This seems to fix 2 problems. 1- any audio sync issues. 2- For what ever reason, some more noticeable than other. Bd re builder will 1st attempt to re-encode all the separate m2ts files first, then after they are compressed they will be muxed with what ever version of Tsmuxer that Jobbs is using. For some reason if you notice, there will be a freeze of a few frames at the end segment of the joined M2ts. Like I said some are more noticeable than others, but this can cause audio sync issues. I would wish that BD re builder would automatically Mux the master M2ts files first, then re-encode. This would solve a lot of issues.

Just my 3 Cents.

I do these all the time -- never had an issue.

By the way -- if you want to get the files in order, just open the MPLS with TSMUXER...

Please don't give "workarounds" in this thread. If there is an issue, it needs to be fixed, not finnagled.

[Rizlaw]

Looks like BD-R 31.02 and ffdshow 3137 are working. BD-R 31.02 has successfully resumed the crf analysis from the point where 31.03 failed. Interesting.

[slayers]

Keep in mind I am talking about Movie only encodes vs A full backup.

the last time I checked BD re builder Will re encode every segmented multiple m2ts file first before at the end it will mux the compressed m2ts files together (final step) .

That at least what I have noticed for DVD-5/9 backups (Movie only)

Hmmm... it has to be something related to configuration, because I'm not seeing any issues. I hate it when something pops up that doesn't occur on my system or with my testing...

Are you using the 32 bit version of AVISYNTH?

@All
Is anyone else experiencing X264 crashes with the new release?

Sorry did not mean to be invasive about it, This was the 1st chance I had to post about it in over a year now. I dont like complaining about free software. I think BD re builder is a wonderful program. IT is well on its way of becoming the "next DVD Shrink of yesterday. "

I just found myself coming out with my own Work a rounds this past year.

No big deal.

[jdobbs]

Looks like BD-R 31.02 and ffdshow 3137 are working. BD-R 31.02 has successfully resumed the crf analysis from the point where 31.03 failed. Interesting.As a test, can you try replacing the X264.EXE included with 31.03 with the one in this file (http://techouse.project357.com/builds/x86/x264_x86_r1354_NAL-HRD-16-1301_techouse.7z)? -- I'd like to see if it might be the specific version I downloaded and included in the release.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Just downloaded your file and replaced x264. Restarted the transcode with updated 31.03 and it looks like the new x264.exe file has resolved the crashing problem during crf analysis. I will not know how it ultimately turns out for a few more hours.

[jdobbs]

Just downloaded your file and replaced x264. Will report back a few hours from now. So it's not crashing, then?

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with another BD-RB release (v0.31.04). Changes:- Replaced the included X264.EXE with a different build.
(0.31.04)
- Corrected an error in which could result in audio sync
issues. This was related to the depth of search for
pulldown in MPEG-2 and VC-1 sources.
- Updated the DirectShow configuration routine to check
all FFDSHOW settings and execute if any are not set
correctly.
- Added a new hidden parameter. "FORCE_NOENCODE=1" will
tell BD Rebuilder to keep the origina video intact, no
matter what size. Note that if you have "FORCE_ENCODE"
set as well, encoding will take precedence.
- Added the "--nal-hrd" option to the X264 command line
to provide better Blu-ray compatibility (as opposed to
depending upon TSMUXER).
- Add a new hidden parameter. "WEIGHTP=n" enables or
disables explicit weighted prediction on p-frames. This
is to counter several reports of "blockiness" on systems
that do not properly support it. Setting "WEIGHTP=1"
will enable the feature, the default value is no set to
"0" in order to avoid having to explain the issues. Note,
however, that the reported issues are in the players --

- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1354). Also now use a version that
includes the "--nal-hrd" patch.
- Corrected an error in which "576p" was not displayed
properly in the streams list when detected.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes. The only change from 0.31.03 (posted earlier today) is replacement of the X264 build.

[Rizlaw]

So it's not crashing, then?

That is correct.:)

[jdobbs]

That is correct.:)That's what I assumed -- so I posted the new download..

Thanks for the quick feedback.

FYI: I just tried a re-encode of a 16gig disc in BD25 mode (pointless, I know, but I assumed the source was > 25gig). In any case, the program rar in "no encode" mode as encoding wasn't needed; however, it was taking up all the ram I had available (6gigs). There was about 53K free. That's the first time I've seen this. Any thoughts? I aborted the process as soon as I realized that there was no need to rebuild this BD.

dont you Agree!

no, sorry i dont

someone will have to run tests - i dont expect others to do all the work for me

[jdobbs]

with the new verrsion, will this fix the problem with EARTH_US? I don't believe anything has changed that would correct that -- what you're seeing there is a TSMUXER error (usually, but not always, caused by a bad rip). About the best I could do is try to provide a workaround of some sort.

Thanks for your help

Frog_gamerAlmost for sure a bad rip.

@ Jdobbs "It almost looks like the source and destination directories are set the same... "

I even tried to rename the source folder and it still fails. Next I tried all the usual suspects (Clown, TSMuxR.gui and even MakeMKV) and none of them recognized that there was even an audio track there to demux. I think maybe this is a trial run for the SW trilogy. I got these for my nephew and was gonna prevent him from destroying the disk, oh well win some lose some. I will post the results of full disk shortly.
thanks for all your hard work, worknstiff

Has anyone successfully tried this one?

I did the region B version of Clone Wars some month ago (with v0.22.02) and had no problem.

This is the Season 1 or Volume 1 Disk of the Episodes shown on the cartoon network from which the Clone Wars theatrical movie was made. It presented no problems for me either.

cwh I did the region A version with no issues. The fact that it plays isn't an indicator of a good rip. Players can play lots of seriously corrupted files -- because they can just ignore errors and move on.

Ok, I updated the ffdshow using the link from the first page and am trying again.

I did get one error so far.

it seems to be plowing through. The video in question VID_00120 is an extra, so worst case I can blank it out if it does not work this time.

I will also try another rip, see if that helps.

[Sharc]

The reason is the >255 characters for the path - an OS limitation.
You may want to try Clown_BD or MakeMKV to merge the many files into one big MTS before throwing it to BD-RB.

I didn't count the characters in your case, but maybe you could simply shorten your workfolder path to say C:\Temp\ instead of H:\FILES\APPS\BD-RB\WORKING\WORKFILES\
Good luck.

[jdobbs]

@bennynihon

The error is caused by TSMUXER, not BD-RB. I'm looking at a possible workaround, hopefully for the next release.

What disc are you doing? The only one I've seen this error reported on before is the European version of WALL-E.

Good luck. Of course that wouldn't be much of a help in getting BD-RB out of beta... I'd rather we figure out a way to make it work rather than inserting third party software.

[bennynihon]

Right, I'll try reducing the path as much as I can. The more robust solution would be to get tsmuxer to avoid using those ridiculous concatenated file names. How's about out.wav or temp.wav?

JDobbs,

Same issue here. Failed to encode with the x264 I D/L from X264 site, but worked fine with the one you just posted

Not sure what changed in the last compile of X264, but thanks

[jdobbs]

Right, I'll try reducing the path as much as I can. The more robust solution would be to get tsmuxer to avoid using those ridiculous concatenated file names. How's about out.wav or temp.wav? You really can't because you're demuxing several streams at once and aren't given the opportunity to provide an output name (only a folder). You can only name them if you are doing one at a time. That could take hours. The alternative would be to output them (contatenated) to an intermediate M2TS -- but even that would take twice as long and require twice as much space.

[jdobbs]

JDobbs,

Same issue here. Failed to encode with the x264 I D/L from X264 site, but worked fine with the one you just posted

Not sure what changed in the last compile of X264, but thanks BD Rebuilder now requires the "--NAL-HRD" patch in order to work -- so the standard build (without the patch) will fail.

What would be really helpful is if tsMuxeR were updated, correcting this bug and perhaps adding DTS Express support. :)
But since there does not seem to be any help from SmartLabs on this, it gets added to your "to do list". :rolleyes:
It would be nice if you could implement your own "remuxer", as you did with DVD Rebuilder, making it the best DVD backup program! (IMHO) :p

jdobbs, is that a build that will be updated as frequently as the x264 homepage?

TIA They are updated very often/quickly. I download from here (http://www.x264.tk) most of the time now. You can also find them in this thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=130364)

I'm also adding a hidden option to the next version that will allow you to use non-patched versions. The difference is that without the patch you are relying on TSMUXER's insertion during muxing -- which very likely isn't as compliant.

But, with that said, I highly recommend that people stick with the version included in the BD-RB zip. It will have been tested, is always very close to the latest release, and is much less likely to be the source of problems.

[slayers]

can somone tel me te best way to rip a Blu-ray to hdd i have problems with Anydvd/hd version 6.603?

If you think it is ANY DVD, I would try DVDFAB (trial Version) their latest release supports most of the new Copy Protections out there for the exception of Paramount titles.

That way you at least rule out if it is anyDVD, Your Disc, and then or your system or even worse BD REbuilder

[worknstiff]

FYI for anyone doing SW Clone Wars Vol.1: I finally figured out why BD_RB was crashing.

IE: STAR_WARS_CLONE_WARS_S1_BOX\BDMV\STREAM\00096.M2TS already exists.
[21:04:07] - Failed to retrieve audio, aborted

The afore mentioned 00096.m2ts is just a static screen that shows up for 5 seconds in the end credits. This m2ts is only about 20 MB but being it is an episodic disk it calls for this 00096.m2ts about 7 times. BD_RB would always choke on it because it was trying to encode the same file over and over in the audio stream. If you leave it out and try to combine the other m2ts files it gets out of sync progressively worse as it plays. I was able to remove 00096.m2ts and use ClownBD to get everything synced back up and am now encoding movie only BD9. I was able to do a full backup with BD_RD to BD-25 but really wanted it to work as DVD_DL. Seems AnyDVD_HD misses things every now and then. You win some you lose some. Have Fun, worknstiff

Looks to me like you have keep HD Audio ticked and you are trying to encode a BD_5 disk and not enough room for the video.

[kanerulz69]

I don't believe anything has changed that would correct that -- what you're seeing there is a TSMUXER error (usually, but not always, caused by a bad rip). About the best I could do is try to provide a workaround of some sort.

I gave it a try with the new version and still EARTH_US still had the same error, and i ripped the movie twice with anydvd as always and still the same error message. never had a problem with any other movie

I gave it a try with the new version and still EARTH_US still had the same error, and i ripped the movie twice with anydvd as always and still the same error message. never had a problem with any other movie I added code as a workaround, and have that one fixed for the next release.

you tha man, thanks alot, I appreciate it :)

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a new release of BD-RB (v0.31.05). Changes for this version:- Added code to recognize "streams are not syncronized"
errors from TSMUXER and take action to automatically
workaround by extracting video/audio streams
independently. This should fix it in most cases.
- Build a workaround routine for movie-only encodes in
which the TSMUXER output filename during A/V extract
violates length restrictions and causes "Can't create
output file" error.
- Added new hidden option "USE_NAL_HRD=n". If set to
"1" (the default) the "--nal-hrd" parameter is used in
the command line. This requires an X264 build which
includes the NAL-HRD patch (as is the one included
with BD Rebuilder). Setting to "0" (not normally
recommended) disables the "--nal-hrd" switch.
- Corrected an error that could cause movie-only backups
to not extract and remux properly when small enough to
fit on the target and it consists of multiple parts.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1360 w/nal-hrd patch).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

You have one AC3 and one DTS audio track with a target size of a DVDR. My guess, not enough room, try adjusting your target size.

@dragonknight;
This may not be related, but it seems like an awful lot of content to be backed up to a BD9. (Approximate total content: [04:48:58.370])
Have you tried to BD-25, or even just a movie only backup to BD9, just to rule out a few other potential options?

I had no problem with the region A version of Angels and Demons. Did a full movie backup to BD-25, and it looks excellent!

cwhAre you using the X264 version that is included in the BD Rebuilder zip?

[SALVA47]

I have a problem with the movie " the mummy 4, tomb of emperor dragon", error: Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Please helpme. thanks.

[jdobbs]

I have a problem with the movie " the mummy 4, tomb of emperor dragon", error: Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Please helpme. thanks. It usually means that the audio you are attempting to keep is too large for the target size selected and there is no room for the video.

[drmih]

I have a problem with the movie " the mummy 4, tomb of emperor dragon", error: Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Please helpme. thanks.

This is usually caused by there being lots of duplicate and unnecessary audio tracks in the extras. Try changing your settings to only one audio and then adding in any extra ones you need in the main movie by double clicking on them (for instance for a commentary track). Sometimes you can just continue and the output size is okay. I certainly did Mummy 4 several months ago and it was okay.

[Choppermike]

I have the US version of that one. I'll try it and see what I get.

@jdobbs

Any luck w/ Night at Meuseum2? I'm still trying and still having issues. I did have an issue w/ Angels and Demons but 31.05 seems to have corrected it.

[cwh060]

@jdobbs

Are you using the X264 version that is included in the BD Rebuilder zip?

Yes, using the one included with 31.05

Am using Windows Vista 64b (i920CPU). When I was trying to reproduce the Full Version, there was also a pop up window, saying TSEMuxer failed and the option to "Close the Program". I was not near the computer when this happened so I can't give a timeline.

In the original log file the crash appears to have happened 4 hours after reporting the inital error. So my assuption is that TSEMUX, just died when nothing was happening.

I backed up Movie Only with no problem. I am going to try the full version again later today.

Thanks

I had no problems with a movie only backup to BD5 for Night at Meuseum2, US version.
You are having a setup issue with Haali or ffdshow.

Check/reinstall haali and ffdshow, and install WMP 11, if you have not already. Also, make sure ffdshow is set up up correctly for VC-1 decoder. ( disabled )

They are updated very often/quickly. I download from here (http://www.x264.tk) most of the time now.
When I open this link in IE Explorer I get a Trojan alarm 'JS/Agent.FA' from MS Security Essentials.

When I open this link in IE Explorer I get a Trojan alarm 'JS/Agent.FA' from MS Security Essentials. Nothing for me -- using Trend Micro...

[kanerulz69]

I added code as a workaround, and have that one fixed for the next release. You may see it later today.

i can confirm jdobbs that the new version worked flawlessly on EARTH_US thanks alot great job!

It's definately a set up problem on your end, sorry to say.:o
I did a full backup to BD-25 and a movie only backup to BD9 of the US version of this disc, both worked flawlessly.

[eTiMaGo]

I forgot to report that 31.04 fixed the audio sync issues I was having with theatrical/extended movies, thanks :)

But I have another problem to report... When converting some music titles, for example the "Elton John 60" Region A disc, when I play the disc, it loads only the menu background, with no interface elements. But if I press the "top menu" button on the remote control, then only does the menu show up.

Are you doing movie only? If yes, then my advice would be to use Clown_BD to create a combined version of the m2ts instead of the many. Let Clown_BD/eac3to fix all of the audio gap issues found with seamless branching movies. I was able to back up this movie to BD25 without any problems afterwards.

@IlPorcospino

Hi!

The problem with the Eurpoean version of "Ice Age 3" (not simply "Ice Age" which is a different movie) has been discussed several times in this thread. You can locate such posts by using the "Search this thread" function at the top of this page.

For a "movie-only" version, re-rip your original BluRay disc with either the latest version of MakeMKV (and then use tsMuxeR to create a BluRay "package" for input into BD Rebuilder) or the latest version of AnyDVD HD...

Odd, as it ran fine the 1st time. Sometimes that happens on the subtitles when converting to 720p. It's a bug in TSMUXER. I'd suggest you remove subtitles (un-X) one at a time until you find the one that is causing the issue.

Thanks I will give it a try. I was actually successful backing up this as "Movie" only using version 31.05. Lately, I've not been able to do "Full" backups.

cwh.

[ranger124]

You're using an outdated version, please update and try again. Also, make sure you have HAALI, AVISYNTH, and FFDSHOW installed. usually an error like you're seeing means one of those isn't installed/configured properly.

Sometimes that happens on the subtitles when converting to 720p. It's a bug in TSMUXER. I'd suggest you remove subtitles (un-X) one at a time until you find the one that is causing the issue.

Thanks, this worked.

Maybe having common fixes to certain failures in backing up can be added to the 1st post or in another thread.

[jdobbs]

@hoju3508,



Thanks I will give it a try. I was actually successful backing up this as "Movie" only using version 31.05. Lately, I've not been able to do "Full" backups.

cwh.Why have you not been able to do full backups?

[jdobbs]

Thanks, this worked.

Maybe having common fixes to certain failures in backing up can be added to the 1st post or in another thread. I started a project where I was converting the subs myself... but never completed it.

Hello

First, thank you for this program. I have been reading through a hundred or so replies to this thread, and have not come across the problem that I have having...so I apologize if this has already come up.

I am having a problem with the movie "Mask of Zorro", but this problem occurred to a lesser degree with the new "Star Trek" Movie. The problem is that on the finished build of the movie that has been "shrunk" overlaid on the picture, like a ghost, is a, what can best be described as a film of two horizontal bands of large dark pixels that go across the top two-thirds, and bottom two-thirds of the movie.

It goes all the way through the entire movie of 'Mask of Zorro', and in two sections of "Star Trek". I used AnyDVD for ripping, and these "bands" are not on the ripped movie stored on my hard drive. I have used v.3402, v.3404, and v.3405, in both full backup and Movie only settings with the same results, in all three versions. This anomaly is only on the main movie and not on the extras when full backup was selected

Settings are High Speed Option (BD 25)
Burning to a 25gig BD
Custom Target Size 23750
No Video Encoding options selected under Setup



Any thoughts would be helpful

[Capsbackup]

:thanks::thanks: thanks Caps. How do I correct ffdshow/haali/avisynth. to make it work. thanks again Caps.

Haali and avisynth are just straight installs.
What works for me, is ffdshow settings:
video decoder/encoder configurations / codecs:
H.264/AVC = libavcodec
mpeg2 = libmpeg2
VC-1 = disabled
The rest of the settings I just use the default for ffdshow installation.
There may be other settings that will work, but these have yet to fail me! :)

I think Bd rebuilder have a lot of quality for extras, are there some parameters to reduce the quality of the extras and give to main movie?

Yes.
Select "Quicker Encode for Extras", and in the config file (File=>View/Edit Config File) insert in the [Options] section the line
QUICK_CRF=xx

xx indicating the crf at which the extras will be encoded (e.g.30)

I would also recommend to insert for this case
QUICK_USE_QUALITY=1

System was Vista Home Premium 32bit Unfortunately CRF is a "best guess" sizing algorithm based on samples of the source, and can never be completely exact. Possible over/undersizing is the risk you take for the time savings when it is selected.

From the CHANGES file:- Implemented a one-pass CRF mode. This estimates
the CRF needed for the required size and reencodes
using a single pass. [...] it
is possible you may get over/undersizing.

Thanks for any help on this Really strange. I haven't seen anything remotely like this before. Are you using standard encoding settings (i.e. are you changing anything with the TWEAKS hidden options)? Is the X264 used the one that is included with BD-RB? Also, what quality setting are you using?

At first I thought it might be the playback codec until I saw the picture... but the blocking in the sliced areas is really odd.

[DK]

Thanks, I've already ripped with AnyDVD 6.6.0.3.

Ice Age III is problematic and updated routines (6604) made a change compared to 6603.

Now 6607 is available since yesterday so you better NOT use an outdated 6603 version!

:thanks: I'd done this one before -- but just ran it again to make sure some new problem wasn't occurring. It ran without issues. That means you must have something configured incorrectly. This can often happen if you've installed third party software that "play" with the settings without telling you (like Encoder Packs).

Ok thanks for the quick response, maybe anydvd isn't ripping it properly, though I have ripped it with different versions, I'm going to try ripping it with dvdfab and runnin git through again and seeing if that helps. Anyway thanks as always for your quick response, better support from someone making free beta software than big companies that suck huge dollars for bloated software. Thanks much!!

EDIT: Well dvdfab sucks, it can't even properly rip the movie.

[setarip_old]

@rippn

In light of the fact that you've tried two different discs and several different attempts with AnyDVd HD, you might want to try an out of the ordinary experiment that involves other-than-the standard (NOT using AnyDVDHD) ripping, as follows:

1) Use "MakeMKV" to rip the "Cars" BluRay disc. When the initial analysis has been completed, you'll be able to readily identify the main movie. UNcheck ALL titles other than the main movie title - And then click on the "+" to the left of the movie-only title to see all of the title's video, audio, and subtitles streams - and UNcheck those that you don't wish to keep). Then press "Start" and "MakeMKV" will rip your movie-only title.

2) Load the MKV file into "tsMuxeR" and select "BluRay". Click on start.

You should (as I did) now have a BluRay "movie-only" package that is perfectly acceptable to "BD-RB" - and will be properly processed.

[eTiMaGo]

I noticed something today, can't find any reference to it here, but does BD-Rebuilder tell TsMuxer to downmix DTS-HD to plain DTS?

I am asking this because, on many of my movies, when I play the original disc in any player, and use the "display" option of the player, it will correctly report DTS-HD. But, when I do this with the BD-rebuilder converted version of the movie, the player info only shows DTS.

In the BD-rebuilder settings, I confirm that I have always had it set up to keep HD audio, do not reencode DTS, etc, the way it should be to leave audio untouched.

So, what gives? it it just a remuxing-related glitch?

I noticed something today, can't find any reference to it here, but does BD-Rebuilder tell TsMuxer to downmix DTS-HD to plain DTS?

I am asking this because, on many of my movies, when I play the original disc in any player, and use the "display" option of the player, it will correctly report DTS-HD. But, when I do this with the BD-rebuilder converted version of the movie, the player info only shows DTS.

In the BD-rebuilder settings, I confirm that I have always had it set up to keep HD audio, do not reencode DTS, etc, the way it should be to leave audio untouched.

So, what gives? it it just a remuxing-related glitch? It depends on your output size and your settings. If you are outputting to BD-5 or BD-9 -- yes, because those discs aren't big enough to hold HD audio. If you are outputting to BD-25 and you have "Keep HD Audio for BD-25" selected, then the answer is "No" -- the audio remains completely untouched.

As I understand it, if you are making a full backup to BD-25, BD-RB will keep the HD audio as it is. If you are doing a AVCHD, to BD5/9, it will convert/reencode the audio to keep it compliant.

EDIT: jdobbs just explained. ^

[eTiMaGo]

Yes, I forgot to mention, it's all for BD25 conversions, and I am 99% sure that I always leave the "Keep HD Audio" option checked... I'm converting a couple new releases now so I'll double check that when they are done

[hoju3508]

Did you check it with BDInfo?

Just checked it with one of my recent conversion of Public Enemies (movie only) and it said it was DTS HD-MA.

I'm converting a couple new releases now so I'll double check that when they are done If you have "Keep HD Audio" selected -- I'm certain you are keeping the exact HD audio that was on the original. How it registers in playback or verifying software I can't confirm. It should be easy to tell just by the size of the extracted audio files (.DTS or .AC3).

Haali and avisynth are just straight installs.
What works for me, is ffdshow settings:
video decoder/encoder configurations / codecs:
H.264/AVC = libavcodec
mpeg2 = libmpeg2
VC-1 = disabled
The rest of the settings I just use the default for ffdshow installation.
There may be other settings that will work, but these have yet to fail me! :)

I also am getting theses encoder errors with the latest 2 versions of BD Rebuilder, I also checked the ffdshow settings, but they seem to be fine (the same as you mentioned), any other suggestions?

I did install a new K-Lite codec pack btw, would it help if i reinstalled haali or avisynth?

Yes. Codec packs are notorious for changing your settings.

Perhaps one of your biggest headaches.:p
Even an update of ffdshow can change the settings.;)

[jdobbs]

[Sounddude]

Don't know if this is a bug or not.
Did a full disc backup (my first attempt with this software) to 25GB with latest version (of the software) of Van Helsing...no errors reported...everything went fine. Burned to BD-R 25GB and played perfect on computer using TotalMedia Theatre3. Tried in Pioneer BDP-51FD standalone and was able to play extras and anything in the menu with the exception of the main movie. The FBI warnings, etc., played, then froze as soon as the movie was supposed to start. I don't have another standalone to try it in, so I don't know if it's a glitch in BD-Rebuilder or the player.

edit: It also froze in Power dvd software, only plays using TotalMedia Theatre.

Van Helsing may be one of those quirky titles. I did it to bd-9 and it was one of those that doesn't play the audio when on a Sony standalone. Although these images have been shown to work if burnt to a bd-25, I have always felt that there is something just not quite right with what bd-rb is doing.

[Sounddude]

I just did it using RipBot with multi-AVCHD and making a dvd-9 using AC3 and it plays fine like all my other AVCHD's. Now to try a dvd-9 with BD-Rebuilder...will report back with findings.

[jr08toy]

Anyone have working settings for Imgburn? I've been trying to burn some of the BD9s I've made with BDRB and they only hang on my standalone player.

I'm using Imgburn 2.5.0.0
My burner is an LG BH08LS20
My standalone BD player is an LG BD390
Media is Verbatim DVD+R DL

All my standalone player does is says Bluray, then error and spits it back out. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.

[Capsbackup]

@drmih;
I assume you are referring to a full disc backup to BD9, not movie only? I had a similar experience before on a full backup to BD5, where the intro previews and menu played fine, but when you select to play the main movie, the movie played fine, but just no audio is heard.( On my Sony BDP-BX1) This same disc, when played back on a Sony BDP-301, was fine, audio played perfectly. Also, when played back on my CPU with PowerDVD, all was fine. Seems some players are more tolerable than others.
When I burned this same backup/files to BD-RE media, the audio played back perfectly.
I have never had a movie only backup to BD5/9 media not play the audio, or audio is not heard while playing the movie.

Are these full movie backups or movie only backups?
If you burn the same files to BD-RE media, does it work.
Do you have IMGBurn set to UDF 2.50 file system?
Have you ever had a BD-RB backup play successfully?

[setarip_old]

@jr08toy

Hi!

In addition to setting IMGBurn for "UDF" and "UDF 2.50", I strongly suggest that you burn your D/L media at no faster than 2.4X - and make sure you're selecting the folder that CONTAINS the "BDMV" folder (and possibly, the "CERTIFICATE" folder)...

I've never tried burning to anything other than DVD-DL. I really don't want to purchase BD-Rs, so no. I have Imburn set to UDF 2.50 yes. I can play the videos that I have backed up via BDRB with no problems. Basically I have (2) 1 TB drives that I am storing my movies. If I want to watch one of the movies, I just open the file directly into powerdvd. No audio/video issues at all with content.

Check. My folder structure is the movie name, with subfolders of BDMV, CERTIFICATE, etc. I pick the main folder and it gets everything. 2.4x is what I've been doing.

Like I said, I'll put the disc into the standalone, it'll show BD on the player, then ERROR and spit it back out. It won't even try to play the disc...

@jr08toy;
Are these full movie backups or movie only backups that will not play on your LG BD390?
Have you ever had a BD-RB backup play successfully on your LG BD390?
I test with BD-RE, fairly inexpensive and good for testing!

I'm sorry. Yes, they are all full movie backups. I got the standalone player about 2 weeks ago so only this past week have I been trying to burn discs to play on the BD390. The discs that I burn won't even player thru the Bluray ROM on my computer. PowerDVD just hangs on 00:00:00. So I'm thinking that it is something in the settings of Imgburn and not my players... any ideas?

I don't think it is IMGBurn. The BD 390 is probably not your best choice if playing BD-RB backups is what you are looking for. Read the player compatibility thread to learn more.
PowerDVD is hit or miss when playing back BD-RB full movie backups too. Movie only is much better success rate.
I would suggest taking a few of your newly created backups to your local retailer that you purchased your LG from that wont play and test them on other players, mainly the Sony's. I think you will find that they will work on the Sony BDP S360/560 and maybe 460.
At least you can rule out a bad burn/backup.
Then, depending on your results, you can decide what is most important to you. The LG may be a good player, but not for BD-RB backups! ;)

[jr08toy]

Son-of-a...

Alright, well, I just tried my 8th disc of the night and it didn't work. Go figure! Argh!

Maybe I'll take it over to BestBuy and put it in one of their players and see if it works... then pick up some Verbatim BD-Rs.

I've also tried WinDVD w/ Bluray Support and it hangs with that as well.

Shouldn't the BDROM at least be able to read the discs?

[Race Guy]

Speaking of full backup to BD-9's, what makes some "not play" on a standalone?

I started going full to BD-9 for some titles. I ALWAYS test burn to BD-RE to check menu function, then, if it passes, I burn to DL hard copy. The first few I did, the 9's played nice, so I started "building a pile", assuming they were all playable.

Then about a week ago, I tried a 9 I just did & my Oppo spit it out as a bad disc. I then went thru my pile & tried them all, finding 7 that got spit out! Keep in mind, ALL of these ran good on BD-RE. For DL burn, I do 'em slow at 2.4x via ImgBurn & verify the burn.

For the heck of it, I took 3 of 'em to my local big box HDTV place for a test drive. I tried them in a "house brand" player & a Sony. On both of those, they loaded to the main menu, BUT the salesman COULD NOT find a remote for either player, so we couldn't "launch" the disc. I'd assume they would've played though.

So then I take some "bad ones" & some "good ones" to my buddy's house who has a Sony N460. Same deal, the good ones play, the bad ones get "rejected" immediately.

I did notice that flix from WB end up "good", Uni & Sony end up "bad". Can't say this is a "rule" yet, just an observation on the few I've tried.

The only "non-default" thing I do is, I don't select "BD-9" for the output, I go "8150MB custom". Would that make a diff on what gets processed & what doesn't?

Any thoughts, folks? Could there be a hunk of leftover HD Audio at disc launch that the players reject?

See ya!

[Capsbackup]

BD media is different than DVD media. Blue laser vs red laser. Just because the backup is made to fit on a DVD DL disc doesn't change the type of backup. If burned to DVD media, it is AVCHD. To BD media, it's BluRay.
I have tested several full backups that, when burned to DVD media, did not play correctly or without audio for the main movie, but when burned to BD-RE played perfectly.
I do not believe AVCHD supports HD audio, so the backups should have their audio converted to DD AC3.
Following this thread from the beginning, almost one year now, there has not been many consistent full movie backups reported that play to BD5/9 media on standalones. :(

The Oppo identifies all the 9's as "BDMV" during load. The good ones launch, the bad ones get spit out. When a "good one" is playing & I bring up the Oppo's info the disc is identified "BDMV". The Sony 460, calls it a "BD-ROM AVC".

On the audio, one of my "good ones" has the DTS-HD MA "1536k core" & it plays fine on both, so core DTS is apparently OK too.

I'm thinking it's more the "studio's structure" than the media. Something's "non-compliant" at disc load.

I just noticed that Fox is also "good". That's the one with the DTS.

Hi, I'm having problems with Terminator Salvation. I've tried with 3 different versions of BD Rebuilder and am getting different errors with each. With 31.01, it completes, but audio is very badly out of sync (a few seconds off in the later parts of the movie). 31.02 and 31.05 encounter errors.

The BD Rebuilder works perfectly with other titles.

I'm not really sure... I have an original "Blu-ray" title (HDScape Virtual Aquarium), which is actually on a pressed DVD-9, yet behaves just like any other BD disc in all players I tried it on. Yet when I ripped it to hard drive then re-burned it, it failed to play on some, for example my PS3 showed it as a data disc... odd!

Anyone have working settings for Imgburn? I've been trying to burn some of the BD9s I've made with BDRB and they only hang on my standalone player.

I'm using Imgburn 2.5.0.0
My burner is an LG BH08LS20
My standalone BD player is an LG BD390
Media is Verbatim DVD+R DL

All my standalone player does is says Bluray, then error and spits it back out. Any ideas or input would be greatly appreciated.

I have an lg 370 and it won't play bd-9 discs with bd-j. It's fine with other discs but with these it just says 'check disc' and spits it out. The same image on a bd-25 or (-re) is fine. I asked LG if there was a possibility of tweak the firmware to allow this but with no joy.

I asked LG if there was a possibility of tweak the firmware to allow this but with no joy. Unfortunately BD-9 full disc backups are more of a "pleasant extra feature" than an expectation on most players. The only things that should be expected to work on all players would be movie-only AVCHD on BD-5/9 (when the player says it supports AVCHD) and both movie-only and full backups to BD-25.

Virtually all Sony's (except the N460) will play BD-5/9 full backups as well. Others are hit-and-miss. I have a Sony BD-S360 and as of today I have only found two discs (out of several hundred) that won't work as a backup to BD-9 (both of those lose audio -- while the exact same image will burn/work on BD-25).

I would concur with this although I would say that about 90% of the Universal titles I've done lose the audio on bd-9.

[jdobbs]

I would concur with this although I would say that about 90% of the Universal titles I've done lose the audio on bd-9. I think that may be a bit of a stretch. It seems to only happen if there is secondary audio -- are you telling me that 90% of all Universal titles have secondary audio? Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it is the player at fault -- so there may not be much I can do about it. I will try, though.

Alright, well, I just tried my 8th disc of the night and it didn't work. Go figure! Argh!

I've also tried WinDVD w/ Bluray Support and it hangs with that as well.

Shouldn't the BDROM at least be able to read the discs?

I have been having issues now with BD-9's now with BD rebuilder and my good old Panasonic DMP-BD10. For What ever reason, the Movie will just hang or freeze at the middle of the movie. (Movie only Disk). Seems like it hangs right at the layer switch. I tested the same burn on my Sony s360 and it plays fine, as well as on my CPU drive (power dvd). Real Strange, because older disks that I have authored from BD rebuilder are fine. Just the new ones with the new versions.. Not sure what the issue is, but It is not a bad burn, because I have been doing the same project now with RIPBOT and it plays fine on my DMP-BD10. (same media stock) I have been pulling my hair out with this one, and the DMP-BD10 is an old player any way.

Jobbs-- could this be a change in the AUTHORING STRUCTURE? with recent changes dating back to early last summer? Not that big of a deal because I am about to trash my DMP-BD10. The last title that I recall failing on is "UP". Re-ran the same job on RIPBOT and it plays fine on my DMP-BD10. Both Disks play on other players (hardware) Just the one the BD-rebuilder spits out fails on my DMP-BD10. (half way through the movie.) This is with Strict AVC Compliance selected. (in the settings).

I think that may be a bit of a stretch. It seems to only happen if there is secondary audio -- are you telling me that 90% of all Universal titles have secondary audio? Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure it is the player at fault -- so there may not be much I can do about it. I will try, though.

I can only think of Van Helsing and Inglorious Bastards which I can remember working recently.

1. Your experience with 0.31.01 is caused by a bad configuration of FFDSHOW.

2. The error you got on 0.31.02 is caused by a "file already exists" error. One of the files left over from a previous attempt is probably locked somehow.

3. The last one is probably caused by configuration problems (either HAALI, FFDSHOW, or AVISYNTH). I'm running that disc right now -- I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thank you for the quick response (not to mention the fantastic software).

I used the same method of rebuild for all versions (confirming that I want all workspace files cleaned up when BD-rebuilder prompts). I also made sure that mpeg2 is enabled in ffdshow. I'm not sure what else there is to configure in haali or avisynth since none of the guides or issues I've read about really discuss configuring those items.

Could configuration issues cause problems with this one title when others (robably at least 10 others) worked perfectly with the same configuration?

[eTiMaGo]

But I have another problem to report... When converting some music titles, for example the "Elton John 60" Region A disc, when I play the disc, it loads only the menu background, with no interface elements. But if I press the "top menu" button on the remote control, then only does the menu show up.

Bump on this issue? I just tried again with 31.05, same thing...

[chudm]

Bump on this issue? I just tried again with 31.05, same thing...

that issue can be fixed with this setting on the ini:

MIN_M2TS_SIZE=700

[jr08toy]

ok, so I finally got one of my DVD-DL BD9's to work. I switched the backup over to movie only and it works beautifully.

Again, I'm using:
I'm using Imgburn 2.5.0.0 UDF 2.50 burning as BD
My burner is an LG BH08LS20
My standalone BD player is an LG BD390
Media is Verbatim DVD+R DL

Thank you to all for the advice. Must go, Transformers 2 is calling...

@Jdobbs

I just tried encoding The Third Man (US Criterion Version) to BD-25. However, for some reason, one of the special features is a 720x480 mpeg-2 video that's progressive 23.976fps pulldown-flagged to 29.97fps but is detected as pure interlaced by BD Rebuilder. If you can get a hold of the Third Man Blue-Ray, the specific m2ts file is 00008.m2ts . DGIndex properly detects the video as progressive.

Version 0.31.05

EDIT:

Now that I look at it, it does see it as progressive (Has a * at the end) but the .avs script decided to convert it to 29.97fps. Why can't it just keep it at 23.976?

[jdobbs]

Version 0.31.05 I'll see if I can find that movie.

Because blu-ray doesn't support 23.976fps at 720x480. So I have to reinsert the pulldown flags, and I just haven't gotten around to doing that yet.

[Revgen]

Pulldown can be done by x264 using the --pulldown 32 parameter. So I can't see why that would be a problem. Unless Tsmuxer is the issue.

Thanks for your work on BD-Rebuilder. I'll wait until you get it solved.

Thanks for your work on BD-Rebuilder. I'll wait until you get it solved. You make it sound a lot simpler than it is. You also have to do inverse telecining when you bring it in (which is often inaccurate) because DirectShowSource() doesn't have any flags to tell it to ignore pulldown -- not to mention the issues associated with hybrid pulldown/interlaced sources.

I'll do it eventually -- its just not a priority yet, especially since the only pulldown sources I've ever seen on Blu-Ray are extras. Right now its just smarter to process it at 29.97fps.

[Denada]

Yes. Codec packs are notorious for changing your settings.

Hmm changed my vc-1 decoding in FFDSHOW setup from disabled to libavcodec, and now I do not get te encoding failed messages anymore..

Changed this to disabled a while ago, didnt give any problems until some of these encoding failed errors showed up on a couple of disks.. anyway.. its working again now...

As far as I know the program does not touch the aspect ratio? What you get out is the same as what you put in (except for the convert to 720p option, I guess, but that should still keep the original AR, no?)

I have a question. I'm trying to backup a couple movies that keep giving me the PGS Error or whatever it's called. I looked into it and for the main movie file, there is a 2nd audio track that can not be turned off. Is this 2nd audio track making the audio too large for the file? and if so, how do I disable the track? :confused: Clicking it like the others won't disable it...

Whenever you have time. Thanks!

In SETUP set "Do not convert DTS to AC3" and "Do not reencode AC3" check boxes.

do these settings also apply for movie only dvd-9 conversions?

i thought they were meant for blu-ray only.

[jdobbs]

do these settings also apply for movie only dvd-9 conversions?

i thought they were meant for blu-ray only. Yes, they apply. But only the core (non-HD) portion is retained for BD-5/9 (the "down-to-dts" or "down-to-ac3" flags in TSMUXER are used when the audio is demuxed from the original stream). Also, if you have "Strict AVCHD" selected there may have to be a conversion since DTS and some high bitrates are not supported in AVCHD ("Strict AVCHD" only applies to BD-9/5).

So there are some things to watch for -- for example, if you choose a movie-only BD-5/9 backup, and have not selected "strict AVCHD", and the original contains DTS -- you may be creating a movie-only disc that is NOT AVCHD compliant and will not work on some players because DTS is not a part of the AVCHD standard.

The best recommendation is to always keep "Strict AVCHD" selected and convert to AC3 for movie-only BD-5/9.

Hmmm... I should probably set "Strict AVCHD" as the default... I was going to do that a long time ago and forgot...

[Edit] One other note. LPCM is always converted to AC3 on BD-5/9, because of its size.

Thank you for the quick reply. I changed VC-1 to wmv9 (it had been disabled) but still no luck.
What is so extremely curious is that all of my backups are processed identically (ripped to HD, then movie only ISO is made with clown_BD, then burned to BD-25 if small enough, or shrunk through BD_RB if not), and BD_RB will reencode most but not all.
' doesn't make sense does it?

http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k466/joshrohlik/BDRB/Cause.jpg

Problem solved;
I ran BD_RB each time after playing with various ffdshow settings and discovered that switching VC-1 to libavcodec allowed BD_RB to process the problem videos.
I do not know why this works, though I'm sure you do Mr. Dobbs, but I ran a second file just to ensure that the first successful run was not a fluke. It was not and all is well.
Thanks again, and I hope this helps out other users.

[Priapismic]

I have absolutely no doubt that you are correct. I can only respond that the first two of five problem sources have both played perfectly, with video quality on par with when VC-1 was set to disabled for the "non-problem" movies.

I'm having problems with Bleak House disk 1, which is VC-1 interleaved. Has anyone managed to back this up to BD 25?

Thanks.There should be no discs that can't be backed up -- if the system is configured properly. The only exception would be DTS-Express secondary audio -- and even with that, the disc will still backup without the secondary audio.

[martythebrit]

I've done a lot of backup's without issue, Bleak House disk 1 won't back up though to BD 25.

Any suggestions?

[jdobbs]

I've done a lot of backup's without issue, Bleak House disk 1 won't back up though to BD 25.

Any suggestions? Well you haven't posted your INI files, the log from the encode, even a hint as to what error you're getting, or what symptoms are related to your problem. So the answer would have to be "No".

[martythebrit]

Okay....

I'll run the re-encode again over the weekend and post the logs....

The only problem I have ever had has been with VC-1 interleaved source. I thought it might have been a "known" issue with a fix or work-around.

No idea why these 5 movies won't process. But ok, 5/135 isn't that bad at all...

Hi!SUBS_TO_KEEP=allMany BluRay discs contains "tons" of (empty or otherwise) subtitle/PGS files for each title.

Try changing your setting so that only one PGS file is selected for inclusion regarding the primary movie - and NO PGS files are selected for any other titles...

Thanks,
Marty.Hmm.. it says it failed to MKVMERGE only a minute after the encode was supposed to have started... that seems to indicate that the source is corrupted somehow. MKVMERGE is necessary to convert field-based interlaced streams to a format that AVISYNTH can decode. What was used to rip the source?

[jr08toy]

jdobbs,

yes, I aborted the process. Only after the PGS error displayed. If I continued, the finished size at least of the last one I did like that was around 17Gb, far past the BD9 target size. So yes, the encode failed because I did not select yes to continue.

[klas]

I upgraded to the latest Haali Media Splitter 19/12/2009 and encoding fails. When I went back to a previous version works

[Sharc]

Same here for Full Backup. Fails with latest Matroska Splitter.

[jdobbs]

That just means there has been a bug introduced in the latest version -- step back and stay there until it is fixed.

hi guys, i never used beta 31.05 until today, i did the registry trick to get working older version of bdrebuilder (im using windows 7), and never had a problem until this lastest version, im having audio/pgs size too large problem? what should i do? thx!

[martythebrit]

Okay, I've used AnyDVD for a long time. There is something funny going on with Bleak House disk one, it won't rip to the hard drive but AnyDVD will create an ISO image from the disk. The other two disks will rip without issue to the hard drive. I took the set back and exchanged them for a new set, exactly the same problem with the new disk one. I have ripped plenty of blu-rays before this problem and several after, so I'm sure my setup is fine and my blu-ray drive (GGW-H20L - YL05) is okay. The only other thing I can think of is that there is a manufacturing defect with this disk set.

I'm currently having the same issue. I have 4 movies right now that I get that PGS error about. Look at the last 2 pages of posts and you'll see some suggestions from jdobbs and others to me. Nothing worked for me as I still get that error. I have back up multiple movies since with no PGS error but these 4 movies for some reason will not cooperate...

Hi. I started using BD Rebuilder a while back and it worked GREAT! Awesome program. I upgraded to the later versions including the latest one and now I can not encode anything. I get errors left and right. Does anyone have a good combination of version numbers that is working for them?

What versions of the FFDSHOW and the Matroska Splitter are working for you?

Please help. I want to be able to use this great program again. Any suggestions woukd be awesome. Thanks

-Mariachidude:confused:

[jdobbs]

Life would be a lot simpler if people weren't obsessed with upgrading FFDSHOW and HAALI every 10 minutes -- at least give it time to get some bug reports in. You have to realize that those programs are susceptible to bugs also.

Also -- steer clear of "codec packs" unless you are a glutton for punishment. Every codec anyone could possibly ever want or need is included in FFDSHOW.

I am using FFDSHOW r3133 (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/ffdshow_rev3133_20091117_clsid.exe), Haali Media Splitter v1.9.42.1 (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/MatroskaSplitter.exe), AVISYNTH v2.57 (http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/Avisynth_257.exe) with BD-RB v0.31.05. No issues -- ever. Please note also, that these are the versions that are linked on the first page of this thread. I put them there for a reason.

I upgraded to the later versions including the latest one and now I can not encode anything. I get errors left and right. You've done something else too. Upgrading to the latest BD-RB doesn't cause the errors you're getting.

[Capsbackup]

Mariachidude;
If you have installed any other codec packs, or some other video editing software, you have probably changed your ffdshow/haali/avisynth settings.
I would also not use the latest haali update, but the one on the first page of this thread. Same for ffdshow.
I would uninstall ffdshow/haali/avisynth, reboot and install them over. You might also install avisynth 2.57 rather than 2.58. Reboot again, set up ffdshow properly, and then try again.
EDIT: Oops, looks like jdobbs has responded too!

[chudm]

i updated all the software (using the one at the first page) but still having the same pgs problems (like i said before, i did the trick of editing the registry in windows 7 x64, so i can use the wmp9 option in vc-1 decoding) but since v31.05 cant make any backup

The PGS/Audio is too large.

You have to choose not to keep something (audio/pgs) because that error is telling you that what you have chosen takes up so much space that there is no remaining room for the video. Alternatively, you can choose a larger output format (like BD-25).

It isn't an error. It is physics.

The "trick" of editing the registry isn't related to the pgs/audio size. I would suggest, however, that you "untrick" it so BD-RB can make the proper settings. You'll note that when BD-RB makes changes to your registry (after asking your permission, by the way) it also creates a file for resetting them to their original state... it would be nice if others were that thoughtful.

[mariachidude]

Thanks for the replies! I will try reinstalling everything. I may have some codec packs installed. I will fix this and get back to you. Thanks everyone!

thx man but its pretty weird! cause im using bd-25 never did a bd5/bd9 always backup almost 100 of my bluray to bd25, thats why i thought it was an error caused by the register trick! so even with bd25 the audio/video pgs error, it means that i dont have any room for video?

VC-1 is not a Windows search option it's a setting in FFDSHOW's "Decoder configuration." Go to windows start>>Programs>>FFDSHOW>>Video Decoder Configuration, and you will find a reference to VC-1 among the available options.

I have XP Pro w/SP3, and my settings, which have always worked and never given this error are:
WMP 11 is installed.
FFDSHOW Video decoder config: H.264/AVC = libavcodec. MPEG2 = libmpeg2 codec. VC-1 = disabled.
I think I remember reading that Coraline may have a 3D version on the disc? If so, maybe it is just a problem disc.
Can you backup any other discs without this error message?

Nope. I get this message on EVERY disc I try to back up. I have Windows XP 64 bit and WMP 9 installed. Should I try installing WMP 11?

I have uninstalled any codec packs and required programs for BD Rebuilder, rebooted, and reinstalled the BD Rebuilder programs.

I get the errors 20 seconds into the whole process so I am still trying to figure out what the problem is. I truly appreciate your help. Thanks

WMP 11 works for me. Can't hurt.
Do you have these errors on all BluRays : AVC, VC-1 and MPEG2 ?
If you don't have WMP 11 installed, I think you need ffdshow set to wmv9, for VC-1 decoding.
I do not have 64bit OS, so I'm not sure if there are different setup/settings.

[martythebrit]

How are you trying to rip it? I always just insert the disc (on an AnyDVD-enabled drive), create a folder on my hard drive, and then use MS Explorer to copy the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders.

I've done this, same thing. The error is always on one of the MTS files at different points. This is the only disk that's given me trouble in recent memory and I'm about done with it now. I will just have to be careful with the originals.

@jdobbs;
I have now experienced " Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Continue? "
It happened on a BD-25 backup of District 9, Region A, on pass 1 of the main title, VID_00011, which is a MPEG4 (AVC) 1080P, 23.976fps, 23,360.85 MB.
I selected the option to continue, and it's started running again on pass one of this title. I will update the results as they develop.
Does not appear to be anything special about this movie:

[18:47:36] BD Rebuilder v0.31.05 (beta)
- Source: DISTRICT_9
- Input BD size: 42.11 GB
- Approximate total content: [03:43:51.701]
- Target BD size: 22.90 GB
- Windows Version: 5.1 [2600]
- SHUTDOWN at completion enabled
- Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640
There are 14 subtitles also, which are all selected to keep as well, but I doubt that has any effect.

EDIT:
It completed, but running only 1 pass of a 2 pass selection for the main title.
And the error message did not lie either, finished at 29.8GB, and there was not a "CERTIFICATE" folder created in the new backup. Strange! :confused:
The main title is 13.2GB, all extras( 179 files) are 16.6GB.

EDIT 2:
I just realized that when ANYDVD rips all the files off the disc, for this one there is 4.99GB of extra files: example-PS3_GAME=2.95GB, PS3_UPDATE=256MB, SNP=1.78GB.
Doing the math, it is no wonder BD-RB oversized. 29.8GB - 4.99GB = 24.81GB.
Just a guess, but this might be why the error was thrown, if BD-RB saw the extra content and factored it in to the size calculation before it started the last and main title.
I will remove the extra content from the ripped folder and try a full backup again with the same settings and report back. :)

I have now experienced " Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Continue? "
It happened on a BD-25 backup of District 9, Region A, on pass 1 of the main title, VID_00011, which is a MPEG4 (AVC) 1080P, 23.976fps, 23,360.85 MB.
I selected the option to continue, and it's started running again on pass one of this title. I will update the results as they develop.
Does not appear to be anything special about this movie:

- Input BD size: 42.11 GB
- Approximate total content: [03:43:51.701]
- Target BD size: 22.90 GB
- Windows Version: 5.1 [2600]
- SHUTDOWN at completion enabled
- Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640
There are 14 subtitles also, which are all selected to keep as well, but I doubt that has any effect.

EDIT:
It completed, but running only 1 pass of a 2 pass selection for the main title.
And the error message did not lie either, finished at 29.8GB, and there was not a "CERTIFICATE" folder created in the new backup. Strange! :confused:
The main title is 13.2GB, all extras( 179 files) are 16.6GB.

EDIT 2:
I just realized that when ANYDVD rips all the files off the disc, for this one there is 4.99GB of extra files: example-PS3_GAME=2.95GB, PS3_UPDATE=256MB, SNP=1.78GB.
Doing the math, it is no wonder BD-RB oversized. 29.8GB - 4.99GB = 24.81GB.
Just a guess, but this might be why the error was thrown, if BD-RB saw the extra content and factored it in to the size calculation before it started the last and main title.
I will remove the extra content from the ripped folder and try a full backup again with the same settings and report back. :) BD-RB should factor in all the "extra" stuff (in order to make a complete backup) -- but I'll check and be sure.

At least now I have a US version I can try to repeat it with.

@jdobbs;
It did not give me the error message this time, continuing like normal, on pass 1 of 2, but the main title, VID_00011 will only get 2132kbps!! That does not seem correct, or at least too much was allocated to the extras to leave this low a bitrate for the main feature. I chose full backup, Quicker Encode for Extras, and High Quality (Default).

Something I have never encountered before! Usually the main feature has triple that amount or more. It will be interesting to see how the quality turns out.
I do not think this will be a very good quality backup however, and most likely I will have to try something different to achieve a better bitrate for the main feature. :confused:

@jdobbs;
Looking at the original discs individual .M2TS file size and BD-RB's reencoded .M2ts file size, BD-RB has created larger file sizes than the original ones on several of it's reencoded .M2TS files.
Example:
Original 05024.m2ts = 857,862KB Backup = 1,104,302KB
Original 05025.m2ts = 1,181,696KB Backup = 2,935,890KB
Original 05026.m2ts = 1,083,828KB Backup = 1,496,046KB
Original 05029.m2ts = 1,456,824KB Backup = 1,958,802KB
Original 05030.m2ts = 1,126,314KB Backup = 1,658,844KB

These are all extras, the main feature is still encoding.
I hope this may help shed some light on to what may be going on. :confused:

EDIT:
The largest audio track is the DTS HD Master for the main feature = 3.10GB, and two AC3 DD = 359MB and 154MB, respectively.
No other audio track is larger than 22.7MB out of all the extras; all extra audio combined = 169MB for 46 files.

I hope this may help shed some light on to what may be going on. :confused:They're all pretty small (for BD), though. Do you have "Quick Encode for Extras" selected? That could make them larger if the new CRF is finer than the original.

[Capsbackup]

Yes, quick encode for extras is selected.
Perhaps I will try a new backup without quick encode for extras. Maybe it will size the extras smaller?

[jdobbs]

Yes, quick encode for extras is selected.
Perhaps I will try a new backup without quick encode for extras. Maybe it will size the extras smaller? It almost certainly would... but I don't think it will be enough to make a significant dent in the bitrate for the feature. You never know, though.

[Capsbackup]

It almost certainly would... but I don't think it will be enough to make a significant dent in the bitrate for the feature. You never know, though.

Backup finished successfully, 22.6GB for final size. However, the main feature is only 6.01GB, and with a DTS HD Master audio of 3.10GB, and two other audio tracks within this same .m2ts that equal 513MB, 14 subtitle tracks that are 220MB, it left less than 2.4GB for the video.
Needless to say, video quality is not good.
So all of the original discs extras equal 14.2GB.
All BD-RB's extras equal 16.6GB.
Proportional reduction of extras were lost on this disc.
This could be a good title for you to check out personally.
I am unaware of what else I can do to make this backup deliver more bitrate to the main feature and reduce the extras to allow this. :confused:

If you have six gig for video and 3.5 gig for audio... Where is the rest of the 22GB?

I do not disagree.:p
The idea that BD-RB's extras are 2.4GB larger than the originals does bring about some concern though, which is why I reported it.
I would prefer the extras to be closer to half the original discs extras, and most of my backups are. If applied here, that would equal 7.1GB extras, leaving 15.5GB for the main feature, and the 3.6GB of audio files is not so big and can still leave plenty of room for the video.
I know my ears cannot tell the difference between the HD audio and the DD 5.1 audio, ( my eyes just see the receiver say DTS HD Master vs DD :cool: ) but I don't think that is the problem here. For some reason, BD-RB did not allocate the bitrates proportionally as it has in the past for me.
Side note: running a full backup WITHOUT "Quicker Encode for Extras" now, and this is the log:

Buy yourself a copy of "Jeff Beck Live At Ronnie Scott's", Caps and/or jdobbs, turn it up to "11" & then let me know if you can "hear a difference" on the "MA" track!!!:)

I'm totally with Race Guy on this one all the way and 7.1 uncompressed via analog is a near match too. :)

@jdobbs;
Success with District 9, the 2 pass without "Quicker Encodes For Extras" came out perfect. :)
Of course, this should not really come as a suprise though. :p
All extras came out 9.35GB with an average bitrate of over 7800kbs, and the main feature was 12.8GB and had 11,062kbs.
The time difference to make a full backup is quite longer though, at just over 12 hours, but the accuracy is right on.:cool:
I use to use this setting all the time, then switched because of the speed increase.
I am rethinking this now!;)

Now you've provided a single example of where a DTS-MA track may be preferred. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to provide the 1000's of cases where it makes little to no difference.

This has been an ongoing debate since DTS first hit the scene. There are thousands of articles to support both sides of the argument. Fortunately, you have a choice and can pick whichever audio format you prefer, where both exist.

I figured it wouldn't hurt since extras usually only take up a small amount of space. But, as your case shows, that's not always the case and it can become a problem. I'll adjust them back down.

I could do a list too. It's NOT just "DTS", it's lossless in general, LPCM 5.1, Dolby THD. It's the difference between a DVD-Audio/SACD & an mp3. With lossless you're "at" the mixing desk.

To make a blanket statement like "there's no difference" don't-a-make-a-no-sense!!!

On a "pre digital recording" flick, I'd agree that a lossless track could get the boot, but on a modern, big bux flick, and ESPECIALLY a concert, the diff is HUGE lossless vs lossy.

Here's example #2: Give "Roy Orbison Black & White Night" a spin.

Just a note: It's very convenient to set the crf for the Extras cusomized in the config file under [Options], e.g.:
QUICK_CRF=27
For crf>25 I usually also set
QUICK_USE_QUALITY=1

Here's example #2: Give "Roy Orbison Black & White Night" a spin.I can just say that I believe in science and engineering. So I completely disregard anything that people "say" they can hear and I listen to the double blind tests done in controlled environments. The fact is that people "think" they can hear the difference -- but when they don't know whether its HD or standard audio tracks, they can't tell the difference! People report being abducted by aliens too -- but people are completely unreliable as a mechanism for reporting anything. It's a simple matter of the limitations of human hearing.

[laserfan]

But don't discs typically have other tracks on them which are just plain DIFFERENT from the "lossless" track--so people compare and choose the lossless, but they've compared oranges to apples. In any case it's easy to decide that for all future decisions I will always choose MA/HD over any other.

But it seems we've gotten sidetracked from Capsbackup's issue, which was "I left 16Gb for video but got only 6".

[ron spencer]

Can you notice a difference? Sure you can, but NOT when you are watching and listening. The average person cannot in this context. When I watch a movie, I notice no difference between any of the lossless stuff or simple AC3, nobody I know can. HOWEVER, if I listen to a DVD-A, when I am only listening (and others as well), then yes, I can easily hear the difference. The human brain has too much to do to notice a difference when using the auditory and visual senses at the same time.

After doing a successful rebuild of an MPEG 2 encoded BR, my second and third attempts failed on VC-1 encoded discs. The failure was at the start of the encode.
I'm running XP Pro SP3 with WMP 10. Installing WMP 11 wasn't an attractive option as WGA (Windows Genuine Advantage) is something I try to avoid due to hassles when changing my hardware configuration. I managed to get the Microsoft VC-1 codecs from MSDN here "Windows Media Format 11 SDK";
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bb190309.aspx

I found the link to the MSDN download here;
http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-112634.html

Before loading the VC-1 codecs, I cleaned my system of a couple of codec packs I'd added in the past along with a couple of video programs including AVItoDVD. After loading the VC-1 codecs I can play m2ts files from the 3 BD discs in WMP 10. BD Rebuilder also runs successfully in one pass encoder mode.

My problem is I only have one pass CRF and ABR choices in the encoder menu. No two pass choice is shown. I have uninstalled avisynth, ffdshow, Matroska Splitter, deleting the BDR installaion directory and then re-installed all recommended versions (avisyth 2.57, ffdshow 3133, Haali Media Splitter 1.9.42.1, BDR 3105) and configured ffdshow mpeg2 to libavcodec. The successful rebuild of the VC-1 encoded BD (Earth Disc1 BBC version Region 1) was done with ffdshow VC-1=disabled but changing it has no effect on the encoder options in BDR.

I noticed that there was no 2 pass choice in the encoder settings while working on the rebuild failures before loading the VC-1 codecs from MSDN and unless I've lost my mind, it was there when I did my initial rebuild of the mpeg 2 encoded BD.

Any help would be deeply appreciated. When I noticed the 2 pass encoder choice missing, I figured I'd resolve my VC-1 issues first and it would probably be something easy to find but I've run out of things to try. I can post the BDR ini file but I haven't modified anything (except the ffdshow settings mentioned).

[Capsbackup]

Just select, under encoder settings, "High Quality(Default)" and you will get a 2 pass encode. If you want 2 pass encodes for all files, uncheck "Quicker Encode For Extras" under the Mode tab.

I am having problema with the movie, AMERICAN GANSTER. I tried several times to make the process to make one 25GB (Full backup). But in some part of the movie the quality slow down very hard. This BD movie have the Theater version and the Extended version. In the BD-RB, the aproximate contect is 05:47:23. The audio movie are: Japanese, English (DTS and Stereo), German, Italian and French. Besides this, I make 2 test, with "Quicker" ecode for extras, selected and unselected. The same history... in some parts of the movie the quality is very ugly. When the BR-RB process is finish, the size of the file is 22.1 GB, low than other movies that I did before. What could be the problem?

[writersblock29]

I'm having trouble with Madagascar 2; the main English HD track (converted to 640kbps AC3) and the English commentary track are trying to play at the same time... it sounds as if they are interweaving with each other.

FFdshow and Haali are installed as per the versions linked on the front page of the thread. AVIsynth is version 258, but I had the same issue with the version linked on the front page.

I did make a tweak to the hidden settings; I ran this disk as a one-pass CRF=18, since I planned on placing this backup on my HTPC's hard drives and only wished to whittle away as much space as I could without noticing a quality hit.

I'm posting my logs, which hopefully will help.

I was able to do a full disc backup to BD-25 of this same movie, Region A.( post # 6422 & 6425 above )
Make sure you only have the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders in your source folder. Interesting that my source file size is less than yours but the time is exactly the same. :confused:
My guess is you don't have something setup correctly or another codec pack is the problem.
Make sure, especially if you updated ffdshow to check your video decoder settings again. :cool:

I have both the BDMV and Certificate folders in my source for sure.

Only codec pak I have is ffdshow.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled ffdshow so many times now and still I get the same error.

Maybe a clue - I tried BDRB when no ffdshow was installed and the encode error came up, it's almost like BDRB can't find ffdshow.

Update 1 - I tried a few more things, running ccleaner and cleaning out the registry settings, removing folders etc. Then re-installed ffdshow rev3133, haali, and avsynth 2.7. Looks promissing now, at least it's plowing through the vids at this point.

Update 2 - Well it ran through, it reduced the main VID_00011 from 22G to 4G and 984kbs. I've set it up again with a higher quality setting and two pass encoding. 500% reduction is just a bit too much on the main movie :-)

jdobbs...., could you explain what effects the options on this HIDDENOPTS line will have?

DEINTERLACE=n n = 0/1/2 - 0=Off (not recommended), 1=Standard Mode, 2=Standard without blending

I just did a 1080i TV show & it has that "unwatchable stutter" on slow pans after rebuild. Any suggestions on which of the above "numbers" might help me out?

Thanks & have a Happy New Year!

[writersblock29]

@Jdobbs

Pecking around with the Madagascar rebuild, I'm able to confirm that the two audio tracks I mentioned did encode correctly; Nero Showtime will play back the main movie's .m2ts file, and allow me to select either track. Is there a way I can confirm what went wrong with the mux... somewhere in the work files, perhaps? This title is one that has PIP features (which uses one of the messed-up audio tracks), and I'm wondering if that's what is screwing it up. I've got several titles that also have PIP, and I'd be happy to give them runs to see how they fare. I'm just not sure how to give you anything useful other than the irritating, "It don't work." I'd also like to avoid what is certainly more irritating: "Got it to work... but I'm not sure what I did." :)

[chudm]

ok i couldnt do a full backup to bd25 of ac dc no bull bluray, so i have to choose to compress audio in order to avoid getting a pgs error, but now im having this error:

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/2757/erroracdc.th.jpg (http://img27.imageshack.us/i/erroracdc.jpg/)

[Capsbackup]

Can you change the sample rate to 48000Hz?

[chudm]

Can you change the sample rate to 48000Hz?

where can i do that? i dont see any option in bdrebuilder to do that! i know why it didnt worked a full backup to bd25 without choosing to compress audio (dts hdma its 8.49 gb, and pcm 5.1 audio track its about 4.5 gb)

[Aratar]

I noticed that on backups, all playlist (mpls) files altered by bd rebuilder are not being copied into the corresponding BACKUP/PLAYLIST destination folder. I don't know if that's intentional and it should not affect any blu-ray player, just for 100% compliance I thought I should mention it.

Mine are....you using old version? I just checked a backup...all in proper folders.

[Priapismic]

Oh, I think I know what Aratar means;
He doesn't understand that only the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders are needed to play the movie in the blu-ray player.

[jdobbs]

No. He's right. I just checked. When BD RB makes changes to the MPLS files (for reencoded segments), it doesn't copy them to BDMV/BACKUP/PLAYLIST. That won't hurt anything -- but if the primary MPLS is ever damaged (by a deep scratch, for example), there wouldn't be a backup for the player to try. I'll correct that for the next release.

[klas]

It is very frustrating that on the second pass any problem (the computer freezes, the light is gone, .. etc) and have to restart the second run from the start and wait for me another 14 to 16 hours to obtain results .

I know it's a beta program but also facilitate the acceleration of results since it would be much faster it Bd rebuilder create security checkpoints and that second encode them start in the first, second,etc.

Thanks

Hi!

Based on how long it apparently takes your system to perform the conversion and the symptoms you've described, I'd speculate that your system is overheating.l..

Now with BD rebuilder in second pass the temperature is 38 ºC. I think ist good. But this is not the question. The question is to begin in auther point near the final of encode.

That would be ridiculous.

If BDRB has got to the point where encoding has finished and it is rebuilding then you can carry on from there. If encoding has failed it would be absurd to try and rebuild the resulting rubbish and burn it.

That is what you mean?

If you mean to simply carry on encoding from where it failed then again, that's just going to lead to trouble since there is obviously a problem in your computer (dodgy RAM\over heating CPU\not overclocked properly with enough volts\etc).

It would just mean more trouble for jdobbs when the problem lies solely with the incompetence\foresight of the end user.

Not going to happen, besides that BDRB is basically a front end for some of the process - it uses x264 for encoding. You should ask the authors of that program for a simple way to carry on encoding so it can be implemented but they will just laugh at you for the reasons I've given above.

No disrespect but what you're asking isn't sensible in a practical sense even though it sounds nice.

[Furiousflea]

Can you notice a difference? Sure you can, but NOT when you are watching and listening. The average person cannot in this context. When I watch a movie, I notice no difference between any of the lossless stuff or simple AC3, nobody I know can. HOWEVER, if I listen to a DVD-A, when I am only listening (and others as well), then yes, I can easily hear the difference. The human brain has too much to do to notice a difference when using the auditory and visual senses at the same time.

OT but I'd disagree with the thing about when you're watching it being harder to hear the difference or impossible as you say. For me watching a video makes the quality of the sound more apparent...hey ho each to their own.

I've got crap hearing BTW and frequently ask people to repeat what they say. I'd go the other way and say that people with crappy hearing are more likely to notice the difference because the sound is clearer it's easier to feel defenition...

Thanks for your response so stupid. I mean not when a failed encode by the x264 problem but when something external or voluntarily interrupts the process.
I do not understand because my view is worse than yours when I'm sure there are many people with slower CPU would agree with me.

Thanks and do not respond to not contribute anything

Thanks and do not respond to not contribute anythingThe problem is that X264 would have to pick up where it left off -- and when a crash occurs it wouldn't have anything to work with (e.g. previous frame information, etc). It also couldn't depend on the information that had been already written.

For a "user abort", it may be different if there were some X264 method for stopping/restarting -- but BD Rebuilder currently has to kill the process, which to X264 would still be essentially a "crash". There are some O/S tricks for pausing processes, I might be able to do that.

I have been using BD-RB successfully since January with no real probs. I have just dowloaded the latest version and every disc I create comes up with an 'invalid disc' error when I try to play on the PS3. It recognises the disc and looks like its going to play, but I get the error message after about 10 secs.
I tried it with Frost/ Nixon Full backup and movie only, My Best Friends Girl full backup anf Yes Man full backup, all with the same results.
I know its not my burner as 25GB ISOs from net work fine and I know its not the PS3 as previous BD-RB discs work fine.
The only other variable I suppose is AnyDVD but the process seems to work fine.

[DVDIT]

I have made a few BD rebuilds. I have noticed the volume is much louder than the original after down converting HD audio to AC3. I am thinking some sort of gain is applied somewhere? Is it possible to a have the same level of volume as the original after rebuild ?

Happy New Year to all!

Happy New Year to all!In the "[Options]" area of the INI file set:

Thanks, jdobbs. Just out of curiosity, any reason for the 20 % increase in gain in default mode ?

[coljben]

have used this to make 25gb blu ray disks from larger disks with no problems so far

[jdobbs]

Thanks, jdobbs. Just out of curiosity, any reason for the 20 % increase in gain in default mode ? The majority of Blu-rays seem to have too low a sound level for me -- so I boosted it as the default. I know it is advertised as wider dynamic range... but to me it's just low volume.

[Chiamos]

The majority of Blu-rays seem to have too low a sound level for me -- so I boosted it as the default. I know it is advertised as wider dynamic range... but to me it's just low volume.

Thanks for the boost, as it also seems to me that most have low volume, but except for those that have the crisp and higher volume sound of a LPCM track. :D

[DVDIT]

The majority of Blu-rays seem to have too low a sound level for me -- so I boosted it as the default. I know it is advertised as wider dynamic range... but to me it's just low volume.

Yes, that is true. Especially Dolby True HD tracks. I will set AUDIO_AMPLIFY=1.1 for a 10 % and see. The 20% boost, along
with audyssey dynamic EQ enabled in my AV processor, makes it a bit too loud for me.

Hi all
For a while ive had a few problems with some blurays. All the Torchwood discs, Earth D1, Natures Great Events... and very recently Terminator Sarah Conner Season2 Disc5. Most of those discs are BBC releases. The only common thing about them is they have 1080i video in them. This is what i got with the fifth disc of Terminator

Any ideas??? Only the 3rd video (in the terminator disc) is 1080i - the rest are 1080p.
ThanksAny time you see the "Encode failed" it is almost a sure thing that you don't have FFDSHOW configured properly. In XP make sure you either have WMV11 installed and selected "disabled" for VC-1 decoding or (alternatively) you can select "wmv9" as the default decoder for VC-1. Also -- make sure H.264/AVC uses "libavcodec".

Ensure you have downloaded and are using the versions of FFDSHOW and HAALI linked in the first post of this thread. People sometimes have a tendency to update to newer untested versions that have bugs that cause encode issues.

I just checked my settings and I had ffmpeg-mt for H.264/AVC on two computers I use, and changed it to libavcodec just now even though I have never experienced any issues albeit I only did 6 backups so far with whole disc backup failing to play on all my three blu-ray players.
What decoder is to be selected for MPEG2? libmpeg2 is selected by default now. Thanks.

Thanks for the reply, i will check. Although it does happen in 2 different pcs using windows 7 (and previously Vista). Will check tho as i always use the links you provide for programs etc.

What decoder is to be selected for MPEG2? libmpeg2 is selected by default now. Thanks.ffmpeg-mt should be okay as well -- I believe that's a multi-threaded codec, so it should theoretically be a little faster on multicore computers. But I tested it on my quad-core and it ran almost exactly the same speed as libavcodec.

ffmpeg-mt should be fine for MPEG-2.

The only issues I usually see reported are with VC-1. The exception would be when nothing is selected for AVC or MPEG-2.

You could try installing just the Microsoft VC-1 codec pack. I'd suggest using BD_Info to verify the movie uses VC-1 and if it does, try what fixed the same issue for me on XP Pro SP3.
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1356510&postcount=6433

After installing the VC-1 codecs from the MSDN link, I can set ffdshow VC-1 to disabled or WMV9 and both settings work. I can also play m2ts files using Windows Media Player 10.

New potential problem??

Have been noticing that playback of my backed up movies, compressed from up to 50 gig to 25 gig, seem that the dark scenes are really dark with no detail. Am playing on Panny 58V10 via Panny bd60 player. Is it me or should I be adjusting settings when compressing? Am trying to avoid changing settings on player or TV at this point.

Anyone else notice this problem??

TIA

TIAI haven't. I had an issue many versions ago where there was some blockiness in dark areas (when using "Fastest" encode). But that went away with X264 updates.

Find some black level calibration images on one of your DVDs (any THX dvd has them) and make certain your player and TV are on the same page. ;)

Make sure you blacks are not crushed. Use a calibration disc to set your black level to the correct level.

Hi,

I've been using BD Rebuilder for a few months now, but with the dutch retail of Pinocchio I came across an error that I haven't seen in the forum.

I hope someone can help. My OS is win7, all drives are NTFS. I used all quality settings and the new version (and two previous ones as well). The error message is as follows:

Bumpity Bunp... same title, same issue, 35.05 on WinXP...

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.31.06). The changes for this release are:- Modified the "High Speed Option (BD-25)" setting so
that it now includes b-frames in its output.
- Default CRF values for BD-5/9/25 under "Quick Encode"
mode has changed to 30/25/22 to approximate quality on
extras. They can, of course, be overridden using the
QUICK_CRF=nn hidden command.
- Corrected an error in which the overall status bar was
not being updated correctly when one-pass ABR mode was
selected.
- Added additional error checks and reporting following
a failed encode.
- Corrected an error in which updated MPLS files were
not being properly copied to the BACKUP\PLAYLIST
directory.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1376 w/nal-hrd patch).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Am I correct in understanding that v.0.31.06 (beta) does not fix the "HD_Compliant"/x264 issue that arose several versions ago?

Hi all
For a while ive had a few problems with some blurays. All the Torchwood discs, Earth D1, Natures Great Events... and very recently Terminator Sarah Conner Season2 Disc5. Most of those discs are BBC releases. The only common thing about them is they have 1080i video in them. This is what i got with the fifth disc of Terminator

Any ideas??? Only the 3rd video (in the terminator disc) is 1080i - the rest are 1080p.
Thanks Just thought I'd update you on this. I'd done "EARTH" before and it worked fine. I just did it again. I'm confused about "1080i" reference though -- all tracks on EARTH are 1080p.

[Choppermike]

It seems likle something has changed. I've been able to back up about 15 movies to BD5 and about 2 updates ago things stopped working. I thought I'd give things another try so I downloaded 31.06 and ffdshow again. made sure Mpeg2 was set and VC1 and problems again. This is what I'm getting now. Any Ideas how to get bdrebuilder working again? Maybe a setting somewhere got changed but I can't find it.

:thanks: My guess would be that at the time it stopped working you had installed some other software (a codec pack perhaps) that set the DirectShow default to something other than FFDSHOW for AVC -- you'll note that the clip that failed is neither MPEG2 nor VC-1, but AVC.

It appears the AVC source is failing to be decoded by whatever codec is selected. My suggestion would be that you reinstall FFDSHOW and HAALI again (using the HAALI version linked on the first post of this thread) and make sure AVC is set to be decoded by FFDSHOW using libavcodec.

@jdobbs I'm not sure what error you are referring to. Are you talking about HD DVD encodes?

I'm referring to the discussion in the following thread:

and this post by you, in particular:

There is definitely something wrong with several of the recent versions. I still couldn't encode PIRATES2 with the latest version. I cleaned my system of codec packs and then reinstalled every program you have linked in the first post. It still fails to encode at the same spot, 15.20%. So I went back to an expired version (0.31.01) that gave me the best result, it would fail around 80% before. This time however, it completed successfully after switching to FFMS2.DLL to decode.

[rippn]

I did the whole pirates trilogy with the .05 version with no issue, it's likely your system.

No there isn't. Hundreds of other people are using it and are not experiencing your problem. Your system, very clearly, isn't configured properly for FFDSHOW and HAALI decoding. That's evident in the fact that when using FFMS2 you can encode.

Do you have Media Player Classic installed on your computer? If not, try downloading/installing it. Then open the file VID_00000.AVS in the the working folder by right clicking and selecting "Open With..." -- and choose to use "Media Player Classic".

That way you should be able to see the error message that is causing X264 to crash.

Sorry if this has been asked already - but this thread is so huge that it's really hard to find something...

I rebuilded Star Trek (europ. Version) to BD-25 (full disc). Everything seems to be fine - but when I play the movie I'm not able to turn off subtitels. When I choose "no subs" from the menu I get the (I believe) swedisch subs.

Player is Panasonic BD-35.

Anyone an idea what's wrong?

Thank you.

Hey jdobbs, been using your BD-Rebuilder a lot lately and love it.

My question is, I was an idiot and forgot to free up some space during the rebuild portion of the process and now have all the .m2ts files, but no complete structure. Is there a way to get the program to just perform the REBUILD portion or am I going to have to start all over with the process again. Pasted below is the log so you can see how far it got:

I had this problem doing the Simpsons movie. At the end I did it without any sub. I never had this problem in about 200 films. It should be possible for you, to encode without subs to solve this problem.

Thanks. I unistalled/reinstalled all the programs before yu had a chance to respond. I backed up that movie without any more issues and working on another one now. My suggestion to everyone who has started to have problems when thing used to work fine would be to do the same.

I'll keep Media Player Classic in my bag of tricks for the next time I need to get you more information. Thanks again for the help and for a great program.

I've managed to rebuild two movies since I reinstalled everything and working on a third now. I've noticed that I only have the BDMV file and not the certificate file. I burn the BDMV to dvd5 and it plays fine in the ps3. Questions: 1 why don't I see the certificate file anymore? 2 Why doesn't it matter?

I think I've seen this question b4, went back but couldn't find it.

I think I've seen this question b4, went back but couldn't find it. If a CERTIFICATE folder exists in the source, it will be copied to the output (for full backups). If you did a full backup and it isn't there, my guess would be that the source folder doesn't have it.

For movie-only backups it is not needed.

In actual fact the Certificate folder is empty unless there is bd-j content. Many blu-ray discs don't need it but it's included.

Have been using v0.31.05 for around a month now. Will give 06 a shot.

So far, have backed up around 20 BR movies, all with great results.

Only one I've had problems with is playing "Wizard of Oz 70th Anniversary" on My Panny BD60. Movie stops reading and then nothing. I'm able to see the "Top" menu but that will not respond with any choices I make, am unable to play from "Scene" selection. Will be trying another pass with .06 and see what happens.

I am able to get to play on my computer using VLC Media Player.

Any thoughts?

BTW, thanks for the great work and hopefully I can contribute with some feedback from time to time.

Hello,

Great job on wonderful, wonderful program. I had originally started writing a similar program, but was quite thankful to see someone already tackling it. I've backed up many discs and almost all work wonderfully.

I did notice, however, that the second disc of Terminator Salvation (Director's Cut) seems to hang/have issues when using chapter skipping or selecting chapters from the pop-up menu. It will hang for several minutes and then start but with either no sound, or sound really out of sync. I haven't experienced this issue with any other movie on my PS3 (and I now specifically check the pop-up chapters feature.)

I am taking the disc over to check a couple more BD players, but was curious if anyone else has experienced this issue? Are there any settings I can enable or try to help debug why this would be happening?

Beyoncé: I Am... Yours. An Intimate Performance at Wynn Las Vegas reencode does not work on blu-ray player sony and ps3 black screen ? help

did a test yesterday, with 31.05 but it didnt worked either on my ps3, tonight ill do another test with 31.06

[yeepeefr]

Hi,

I dont know if it is a bug or an unwanted feature but here it is.

I use laste beta (v0.31.06).
My settings are so that i keep only the movie, with two langages (audio and subtitle). I aim to keep the movie and the audio without reencode, so, for the movie, i put a custom size that wont bother me with reencoding (46Go).

I have tried with choosing the option of "keep only one track" of the preselected languages / sub, and without choosing to keep the "one only option".

If I do a single rebuild, it works perfect, I mean that if i am not satisfied with the result of keep only one track/sub per language (or keep all), wathever modification i do is taken into account.

But if i use the add to the job list, then my modifications are not taken into account when the batch is proceeded (it does not do random, it act as it was opening the projectf ofr the first time with the default setup). So that with the batch list I have no way to define precisely what I want or dont want to keep, when for some movies my preselected options are not ok (20% of movies doesnt fit any of the preselected setup if you want to keep the best audio track, as the audio track has to be in the good order for that, and same problem with the subtitles, but with subs, you can afford to keep them all in option as they dont take a lot of place).

Thanks for your job on this app, and sorry if it has been said before as i havent read all the 300+ pages of posts.

Would be also greatly appreciated if you could confirm if it is either a bug or a future functionnality (keep modification made individually for each job of the job list), or if will never be a future functionnality.

[Capsbackup]

@yeepeefr;
But if i use the add to the job list, then my modifications are not taken into account when the batch is proceeded
This is how BD-RB works with batch mode. It is unable to keep all the potential selections for subs and audio in batch mode.

The BD Rebuilder folder (from the ZIP file) contains a text file called "HIDDENOPTS.TXT" -- that explains the current hidden options.

Don't think it's been mentioned before but the District 9 Blu-Ray is giving BD Rebuilder a tough time. First time I tried to do a full reencode (I only do full discs with menus/extras, minus extra languages, BD-25 size) it gave me a "wrong size PGS, possible oversize error" and effectively was oversized by about 10GB if I remember correctly. Second time I tried, I deselected the audio descriptive track since I wouldn't need it anyway, didn't get an error message, but this time the movie file was reencoded down to about 3GB... I think you can easily imagine how a 2 hour movie looks once reencoded into 3GB...

I don't know if that helps you any JDobbs, but District 9 seems to be an interesting case and challenge so you might want to give that disc a shot.

Yes, it has been mentioned before. Make sure you remove all the extra files from the rip, only leaving the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders. Also, 2 pass encode and do not check "Quick Encode For Extras" worked perfect for me. :)

@jdobbs;
I have now experienced " Audio and/or PGS size too large. Probable oversize. Continue? "
It happened on a BD-25 backup of District 9, Region A, on pass 1 of the main title, VID_00011, which is a MPEG4 (AVC) 1080P, 23.976fps, 23,360.85 MB.
I selected the option to continue, and it's started running again on pass one of this title. I will update the results as they develop.
Does not appear to be anything special about this movie:

[18:47:36] BD Rebuilder v0.31.05 (beta)
- Source: DISTRICT_9
- Input BD size: 42.11 GB
- Approximate total content: [03:43:51.701]
- Target BD size: 22.90 GB
- Windows Version: 5.1 [2600]
- SHUTDOWN at completion enabled
- Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640
There are 14 subtitles also, which are all selected to keep as well, but I doubt that has any effect.

EDIT:
It completed, but running only 1 pass of a 2 pass selection for the main title.
And the error message did not lie either, finished at 29.8GB, and there was not a "CERTIFICATE" folder created in the new backup. Strange! :confused:
The main title is 13.2GB, all extras( 179 files) are 16.6GB.

EDIT 2:
I just realized that when ANYDVD rips all the files off the disc, for this one there is 4.99GB of extra files: example-PS3_GAME=2.95GB, PS3_UPDATE=256MB, SNP=1.78GB.
Doing the math, it is no wonder BD-RB oversized. 29.8GB - 4.99GB = 24.81GB.
Just a guess, but this might be why the error was thrown, if BD-RB saw the extra content and factored it in to the size calculation before it started the last and main title.
I will remove the extra content from the ripped folder and try a full backup again with the same settings and report back. :)

Thanks for your help guys, I'll be sure to re-rip and reencode that disc again.

JDobbs, awesome stuff there, couldn't thank you enough, you have had me save a lot of storage space.

JDobbs - Gotta say I haven't had an issue with BD-RB in terms of encodes or otherwise. I have success after success. The app is looking more stable with every release. Looks like the biggest hurdle you have is people with codec configuration issues.

Thanks for all the hard work.

Hi jdobbs, first thanks for your work on this so useful app. As already mentionned here : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1349513#post1349513 , I have also issue to rebuild BD that contains the main movie on multiple m2ts. All the rebuild process work at a glance, absolutely no problem. No, the problem is to playback correctly these kind of movie. When you watch it, there is a ~one second freeze at the end of each m2ts clip transition while the sound continue without issue. I tried to rebuild Stargate wich contain a theatrical and extended version, the source is VC1, transcoded in high quality with x264, played directly on TotalMedia3, the issue is present whatever I set on BDRebuilder. 1 pass, 2 pass, fast, slow quality, with or without the secondary video, different Haali/FFDshow (I now use your last links), different tweak pass like : with or without pyramid, there is nothing to do, the issue is ever present as soon as it is transcoded from VC1 to 264. My only solution is to remux the movie on TSMuxer or BDClown, rework the playlist, m2ts, BD structure to make it work with the menu etc... before rebuild it. Well, it do the trick but leave 2 problems : it's very time consuming and you have to choose one movie version and say byebye to the others. If you have a workaround for that or even an explaination, I would appreciate. Without that, for me the app is very stable, easy and effective. Thanks for that!

Am still able to pull up the "top" menu choices but can only look at that. No reponse to any of the choices within the top menu. Anyone know if my settings below are proper?

Again, TIA.

[skylab1]

I am getting a error during PHASE TWO of full backup, anyone know how to get pass this error?
Movie only backup work fine.

Using newest build 31.06. I am having trouble with the extraction of the A/V streams. It is going REALLY slow, sometimes so slow that computer reports "not responding" I know this is not BDRB, I am asking if anyone has encountered this cuz I don't even know where to start debuggging. More info - this is on the Orphan blu-ray, which is VC-1. There is only 1 stream. I have W7 Ultimate 64bit, and I followed the tweak by MickJT on "SOLUTION to Windows 7 (32 and 64bit) VC-1 video with AviSynth". I am doing movie only, DVD 9, default speed. I am using two external drives connected by firewire (thru the computer). Any help would be appreciated.

Have no idea what that tweak is -- but I can assure you that with BD-RB v0.31.06 it isn't needed if you installed the software listed on the first post of this thread, and for all I know the tweak may be doing harm rather than good. With that said, AVISYNTH has no impact on extracting...

I'm not sure what your definition of "really slow" is -- but extracting AV streams takes time no matter what. You're talking about an extreme amount of data that has to be scanned and rewritten (up to almost 50GB). If your system is moving data at 25MB/sec (which is pretty fast) it would still take 30 minutes or so in a perfect situation -- and perfect situations are rare.

Extracting time is, for the most part, a function of your disc speed, disc type, drive controller, remaining space, and degree of fragmentation. If you have anything else running at the same time, or if your virus software is looking at everything you write, it can really, really slow you down. I personally turned real-time virus scanning and search indexing off on the drive(s) I use for blu-ray backups.

Hi jdobbs, first thanks for your work on this so useful app. As already mentionned here : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1349513#post1349513 , I have also issue to rebuild BD that contains the main movie on multiple m2ts. All the rebuild process work at a glance, absolutely no problem. No, the problem is to playback correctly these kind of movie. When you watch it, there is a ~one second freeze at the end of each m2ts clip transition while the sound continue without issue. I tried to rebuild Stargate wich contain a theatrical and extended version, the source is VC1, transcoded in high quality with x264, played directly on TotalMedia3, the issue is present whatever I set on BDRebuilder. 1 pass, 2 pass, fast, slow quality, with or without the secondary video, different Haali/FFDshow (I now use your last links), different tweak pass like : with or without pyramid, there is nothing to do, the issue is ever present as soon as it is transcoded from VC1 to 264. My only solution is to remux the movie on TSMuxer or BDClown, rework the playlist, m2ts, BD structure to make it work with the menu etc... before rebuild it. Well, it do the trick but leave 2 problems : it's very time consuming and you have to choose one movie version and say byebye to the others. If you have a workaround for that or even an explaination, I would appreciate. Without that, for me the app is very stable, easy and effective. Thanks for that!


I have Noticed this as well. Might not be at 1 sec all the time (24 frames), but at least any where from 3 to 13 frames of video. (thanks SoniG )

I have also mention this to Jobbs, not sure why he seems to not think it is an issue. It has however been an issue since BD re builders 1st version. I have applied the same work around as you did.. At least the Audio does not drift out of sync as it did with previous versions....


The New version of DVD FAB actually rencodes the multiple main (movie only) m2ts (as is...) Compressing them and then codes the play list to play all the parts as one, vs muxing them all together. (DVD FAb Does not Support full back up Menu ect,) Of Coarse DVD FAB does not offer compression options as far as quality goes, But at least it is a start in the right direction...

Jobbs..... (Just a thoughts on future versions of bd rebuilder supporting that?)


Thanks..

[SoniG]

Hi Slayer, yeah the problem do exist and is really present, it's not our imagination or a config issue, and you right it's more about 3-13i than 24. I read you about DVDFab but did you test it and well observe there was not the same issue with it? Is someone test this with powerdvd to see if it has the same issue? I already can't understand what cause this problem seen I verified each m2ts files and did not notice any strange duplicated frames at the end of them. I will take a look at DVDFab but I think process the m2ts in batch in RipBot264 would give a better result if you tell me there is no advanced x264 settings in DVDFab. But beyond all of that, I'm here to report this issue to jdobbs and would prefere here, to read him, and know what he thinks about it!

From the prior reports it seems the issue is with TotalMedia rather than BD-RB, but you never know.

Thanks.. If I did that -- it wouldn't be a true backup (like the original). It's better to figure it out and fix the problem than to screw up the source by changing the authoring. JMHO.

[setarip_old]

@jdobbsIf I did that -- it wouldn't be a true backup (like the original).If you consider that (other than branching/multi-angles) the ONLY reason that I'm aware of, for splitting a main movie into multiple .M2Ts files is a feeble attempt at copy protection, perhaps you'd feel more comfortable in doing the suggested joining. After all, the original that's being fed to BD-RB has already been stripped of AACs and, possibly, BD+, so that BD-RB's output is not truly "like the original" ...

[SoniG]

Well jdobbs, I will try to test on Powerdvd but I had to restart my rebuild cause I a bit screwed up the directory in testing it. And my opinion is I have no issue playing original BD on TMT3 whatever it is, as I have no issue playing some ps3 movie BD that also have h264 m2ts 4GB splitted files. So the issue come from the BDRebuilder process and I don't think most of us want to go with Powerdvd that force you to create an iso. But I agree if TMT3 is the only guilty, to find a solution at the player side, that's why I asked if someone notice or not this issue on Powerdvd. Will give you my report in a few days. For setarip_old, I don't think multi m2ts movie is a copy protection attempt. It is just used to create multiple version of the movie in the same BD wich wouldn't be possible if you had to duplicate all the data twice or three times for a few of them.

[saphire199]

I personally turned real-time virus scanning and search indexing off on the drive(s) I use for blu-ray backups.

The tweak I'm talking about was post #5954, Nov 13, 2009. When I installed W7, I had a problem with audio sync issues, then I saw this tweak and it worked. But I also see in 31.04 changelog that you addressed this issue. So I'm gonna get rid of the tweak and see what happens (I know that this has nothing to do with the extraction, just wld rather run BDRB as is)

When I say really slow, I mean over several hours the amount of data extracted doesn't even show up on the progress indicator - where usually, it just fills right up. I got what you said about possibilities and anti-virus, so I will lokk into this more and get it figured out. Thanks for help.

[SoniG]

Ok same problem with Powerdvd, a bit better, frame freeze about 2 or 3 frames at the end of each m2ts, but the original don't freeze at all. And I just would like to say, about stability and Media Center integration, Powerdvd is a real piece of sh**. I understand why HTPC users use TMT3. I have no issue with some PS3 m2ts splitted movies BD that used x264, so here is my 2 cents, the way BD Rebuilder restructure the BD at the end, convert the Playlists files, play with Java files or something like that. Another remark about the issue to manage the Secondary Audio on BD Rebuilder, particularly when it use the stupid DTS Express format. I read you that there was no codec or splitter that support this. Well what I can tell you is I managed to recover the PiP Bonus secondary video with his sound in using BDClown. The secondary audio track is well reconized as DTS Express, and not DTS-HD as in BDR, I chose to convert it to AC3 192kbps in BDClown output options and outed that as a m2ts file and it works just fine. For your information, BDClown uses TSMuxer and eac3to. And to finish, all these issues is present in the same BD : Stargate, Director's Cut, 15th Anniversary, a nice brain-teaser that would become your new challenge!

[setarip_old]

@SoniG

Hi!For setarip_old, I don't think multi m2ts movie is a copy protection attempt.I'll presume you haven't seen that many BluRay discs and I'll just say you're mistaken


It is just used to create multiple version of the movie in the same BDI've already made a similar statement in my previous post ("If you consider that (other than branching/multi-angles) the ONLY reason that I'm aware of, for splitting a main movie into multiple .M2Ts files is a feeble attempt at copy protection")

[nurbs]

But how can it be copy protection at all? The playlist is on the disc and chaining multiple files hasn't been a problem with DVDs. Also I've got some really old blu-rays and HDDVDs and I'm pretty sure both had the main features in multiple .m2ts and .evo files although the were released before the copy protection was broken. Maybe it's just the authoring platforms they use that does that for some (not necessarily good) reason.

[setarip_old]

@nurbs

Hi!But how can it be copy protection at all?I didn't say that it was EFFECTIVE copy protection NOWADAYS.

Early on in the learning curve about the then newly arrived BluRays, people would simply try to join files and playback to see if they were all there and if they were in proper order. Subsequently, with the understanding of the function of playlists and the interpretation of them, this attempt at "protection" became as (in)effective as EVERY type of protection (including CSS) that's ever been conjured up for DVDs...

BTW - Regarding HD-DVDs, the ONLY splitting I've seen in my collection is two "Feature .EVOs"...

We're getting Off Topic for a "Bug only" thread...

[SoniG]

@SoniG
Hi!I'll presume you haven't seen that many BluRay discs and I'll just say you're mistaken
Well, you maybe right but you don't want to know much more about my life.

We're getting Off Topic for a "Bug only" thread...
Incidentally!

[e143slime8]

Update: well, made a second attempt at burning "Oz" with same results, player attempts to "read blu-ray" then, after around 20 seconds, reading" icon on TV goes blank then nothing. Am still able to pull up the "top" menu choices but can only look at that. No reponse to any of the choices within the top menu. Anyone know if my settings below are proper?

Again, TIA.


Finally gave up trying (4 failed attempts at getting compressed to 25 G to work). Went with DL 50G and works fine.

[skylab1]

I am getting a error during PHASE TWO of full backup, anyone know how to get pass this error?
Movie only backup work fine.

Jdobbs, I only have one question - on installing ffdshow, if you are running a W7 64x shld you also download and install the ffdshow 64x, or is this not needed?

[SoniG]

saphire199 : This is not needed as x264 of BDR and Avisynth are x86, they call x86 codecs.

[Bundy00]

I had this problem doing the Simpsons movie. At the end I did it without any sub. I never had this problem in about 200 films. It should be possible for you, to encode without subs to solve this problem.

Sure: leaving out the subs will solve this. For me it is the 2nd movie (same happened with Watchmen). I already gave this disc to a friend with another player hardware. After playing around he found out that choosing another language (don't know exactly which it was - let's say 'spanish') worked and Watchmen played without subtitles. Never re-checked it on my own player.

But now this happened again. Really strange.

PS: Will test this case (Star Trek) in my friend's player if I see him again.

[Movie Dude]

First of all, a thanks for the app, big fan of DVD Rebuilder and thougth as I have gone BluRay I should start back-ing up my collection:)

I followed the guide and instructions to the letter but could not get past a recode failure. I was pretty sure it was a problem with decoding the VC-1 codec and the switch from 31.05 to 31.06 confirmed this (nice addition by the way to help you sort out problems)

I tried 14 ways from sideways with no joy at all so thought I would start again, used a spare hard drive and installed a clean copy of XP Pro with SP3,enough drivers to get it working, (network, graphics card, sound card etc). Then installed the versions of ffdshow, Matroska Splitter, and Avisynth from the front page of the thread, and AnyDVD & Daemon Tools.

XP Pro already had WMP 11 so just ran it to set it up. Hit the button and same again, failure to decode VC-1. I tried your suggestion of playing the avisynth script in VDub and it would not play so was sure the problem was decoding VC-1. Nothing else on the system so could not see what the problem was.

Reading through another thread from a couple of months ago people who had been having trouble decoding VC-1 had installed Combined-Community-Codec-Pack-2009-09-09, so though well it can't do any harm. I had already done three clean installs trying various bits and pieces.

Installed the above codec pack and bingo, the avisynth script plays in VDub and I have completed two full disc to BD 25 back-ups.

I still don't realy understand why the clean install did not work but at least its working now, I just need to try a few options to see which works best for me.

Thanks for a great app. :thanks:

[Capsbackup]

@Movie Dude;
If you install WMP11, you still have to run ffdshow decoder and set VC-1 to disabled. I have done many VC-1 full and movie only backups with XP Pro SP3, and never had the issue you mentioned happen to me.

[jdobbs]

Jdobbs, I only have one question - on installing ffdshow, if you are running a W7 64x shld you also download and install the ffdshow 64x, or is this not needed? Right now my recommendation would be to stick with 32 bit software. There are too many "maybe's" involved in trying to get all the 64bit software packages aligned and working... the marginal speed improvement just doesn't justify the risk.

JMHO

[slayers]

If I did that -- it wouldn't be a true backup (like the original). It's better to figure it out and fix the problem than to screw up the source by changing the authoring. JMHO.

Are you not changing the authoring by taking the main movie only multiple parts and then muxing them together to one m2ts?

My point was just scripting the play list so you do not have to join all the m2ts files together in the end...

[SoniG]

Slayer : Well unfortunatly it send back to my last post where keeping multiple m2ts files give some freeze at m2ts transition playback. What about my reflection about the secondary DTS Express audio management in my last post? And to finish, I have some ugly 'lines in the image' result by using deinterlace option (or leaving default in interlaced footages). And when I look to the LASTCMD I see the flag --interlaced while there is FieldDeinterlace() in the AVS. And when I read the resulted m2ts, I see MBAFF flag in the scan type property. Shouldn't it be set as 'progressive' (like the movie), as it supposed to be an interlaced footage converted to progessive? If I understand the problem in the process, first, interlaced footage is well deinterlaced by AVISYNTH but after, x264 receive the --interlaced flag and process it as an interlaced footage. That's would cause these resulting strange 'lines in the image'.

Not sure what to tell ya.. I usually only do Movie Only Rips, to DVD-9. Maybe Jobbs knows... Could be an issue to what BD rebuilder thinks is main movie or not.. If it thinks that a interlaced source is progressive you might have a problem..

I only do full backup when I am dealing with Multi title episodes such as IE band of brothers ect...

[SoniG]

Well sorry Slayer, the first sentence was for you, the rest is for jdobbs! :)

[jdobbs]

Are you not changing the authoring by taking the main movie only multiple parts and then muxing them together to one m2ts?

Hi.
Did that, XP Pro SP3, ran ffdshow set VC-1 to disabled and got an error message saying it needs setting to WM9, tried that and got the recode error. WMP11 would run but not decode VC-1 video files

Hi.
Did that, XP Pro SP3, ran ffdshow set VC-1 to disabled and got an error message saying it needs setting to WM9, tried that and got the recode error. WMP11 would run but not decode VC-1 video files The most likely cause is another codec pack that has overridden and set itself as default.

[indecision]

My first backup (Star Trek) went beautifully! I am extremely impressed with the quality.

Playing back with Windows Media Player I have no chapters (backed up in Movie-Only mode). I checked settings and re-encoded just to be sure. What am I missing? I searched but did not find an answer.

Thanks!

Does WMP support chapters?
Try opening the .MPLS file found in the Playlist folder within the BDMV folder of your backup with tsMuxeR GUI, then click on the BluRay tab at the top, and see if you have a custom chapters list.

[indecision]

Thanks for the tip. I do have a custom chapters list so I guess that they are there. WMP supports chapters for so many other formats that I just assumed it would.

[cbwolf]

My English is not very good i post me Message in Germany sorry


Bei den meisten Filmen wo ne HD Spur dabei ist macht mir BD Rebuilder ne AC3Tonspur draus , obwohl ich ihm die Hacken gesetzt habe das er es nicht machen soll
habe einen Hacken gesetzt bei Keep HD Audio
do not konvert dts to AC3
do not reencoded.....

Ich nehme an das das die richtigen sind, bekomme aber trotzdem ne AC3 Spur Spur gemacht!!!

Muss man da noch irgendetwas umstellen das einen die HD Spur bleibt????

[deank]

It is probably because you're using BD Rebuilder in Movie-only/AVCHD mode. Options to keep HD audio are for Mode/Full-backup - Blu-ray (BD-25) only (I guess).


For most films, with HD audio, BD Rebuilder converts it to AC3 audio track, although I have set it not to:
[x] Keep HD Audio
[x] Do not convert DTS to AC3 (Blu-ray)

...but I still get AC3 audio!

Do I have to change anything else?

[cbwolf]

I make a Full Backup 25 GB and nevertheless it does not keep the HD Tone

[jdobbs]

It is probably because you're using BD Rebuilder in Movie-only/AVCHD mode. Options to keep HD audio are for Mode/Full-backup - Blu-ray (BD-25) only (I guess).Exactly. AVCHD does not support DTS, nor does it support HD audio.

[jdobbs]

I make a Full Backup 25 GB and nevertheless it does not keep the HD Tone It does if you have it selected. You need to recheck your settings.

[SoniG]

Hi jdobbs, can you please give a semblance of answer to my posts that I think are not unuseful ones. Even a 'I don't have time, I don't care or go away!' would be appreciated! Thank you!

To all: If you decide to use "tweakers" or anything outside of BD-RB's internal setup code to configure your system -- I'm sorry, but you are on your own. I can't go chasing snipe down rabbit holes attempting to figure our what someone else has decided to do with your setup.

Also, look at the times involved... your source isn't being extracted, I don't know how big it is, but it's unlikely it could happen in one second. That makes the source suspect.

BD-RB does any tweaking it needs (and asks you before it does) -- but if you have already done some tweaking with another package, it may not notice that chages are needed.

[Shuttle99]

I deleted BDRB 31.06 and unzipped a new copy installed FFDShow 3133 and am trying it on another movie and it is working fine it got through the extracting A/V streams. This movie is a mpeg4 the other two that it failed on are VC-1 both of them. If this helps to solve the problem.


I am also running Win7 x64.

[SoniG]

Shuttle99, did you well checked the 3133 version of ffdshow you installed is well the 32bit one. That's the problem when we have win7x64, you can install both versions at the same time, x86 and x64 of ffdshow, with a different revision for one and the other, but the one BD-RB will use is the 32bit version. So why install both on win7x64, well because 32bit version will be used by BD-RB or any 32bit players you want to use, and 64bit version is required for Media Center, Windows Media Player on vista/win7x64 or any 64bit player like mpc-hc64. But you must to well check this. When you launch an encode with BD-RB, double click the video ffdshow taskbar icon, go to About and verify that the revision is well 3133.

jdobbs, I regret you never answer to my posts, I don't know if I'm invisible, I don't insist on any support from you, if you don't want to, I will use my favorite solution :'Do it yourself', but I think when we take time to test and report bugs about your software, the least you can do is to reply, even if it's in one word, as you sometime seems to know to do it!

It could also be buffering on your computer, disc/drive issues, or any of a host of other problems that aren't related to BD-RB at all.

I'm not ignoring you -- there's just not anything I can do about it, especially when I've done hundreds of discs and none of them show any signs of what you're describing.

ok currently i restored my system,
there is no tweak, i have laset release FFDSHOW
i don't understand how works :

vc1 + windows7 x64 + ffdshow X64 + haali + last BD-RB ?


how set vc1 in ffdshow for the BD-RB
i retried diseable, microsoft and libvcodec in parameter vc1

thanks for your help

glood1 : What you really need to care about is to install FFDShow X86/32bit revision 3133 on the first page of this thread! After you go to : Start/Programs/ffdshow/Video decoder configuration, in 'codecs' you set VC-1 format to wm9 and you do verify it's your x86 ffdshow revision 3133 settings box on 'About'.

jdobbs : Ok, thanks to give me regardless an answer. Telling it come from the player, you possibly right, even if i tested and had the issue on TMT3 and PowerDVD, knowing TMT3 issue is much more significantly. And I have the same issue with 2 different PC, a server and an HTPC. One on Win7 x64, the other on x86. Well in fact I am testing different x264 flags to see if it resolves it a bit. Why I think it's important is because more and more HTPC users, like me, will use offline/dematerialized way to backup and use there BD collection. Why? Because it's more handy, remove the burning related issues, allow to use the power and confort of Media Center and allow in one way to have all our collection, from any kind, not only movies, in one place with a high storage capacity with also a high level of security thanks to the now affordable RAID5 technology. And that is the power of your software, allow to backup our BD with all the features in it, not only the movie, and most of all, to shrink it cleverly to preserve our precious hard drives MBytes. So I think playing flawlessly these kind of BD on TMT or other software players is important and should be more and more used in the future. As you could read it, It seems I'm not the only one to have this issue, I don't know how you test it and how it works for you, but if the original have no issue, why reencoding it cause an issue? That's the question! If you can't, don't have time or don't bother about that, no problem, I will continue to find a solution and will share it here to people who have the same one. But 2 other things I reported you, that are more enhancements and not disturbing things, about 1- the possibility to recognize and manage secondary DTS Express audio tracks with BDClown that use TSMuxer like you and eac3to, and 2- this strange artefact about the deinterlaced footages and the fact that they seem to receive the --interlaced flag during encoding that I think is not good and are still recognized as MBAFF in output instead of Progressive. Please, refer to my previous posts that are more detailed. I would just like to hear you about that, but if you don't want to, never mind as I can leave without these PiP bonuses and I think I prefere keep interlaced bonus footages anyway, but well, if it's a bug, it will be useful for everyone! If you think it's too long or that's not the most important things to talk about here but you bother a bit, we can chat about these on PM or whatever! Thanks!

I had 3175 and it worked fine with it but I went back to 3133 and it is now working I have VC1 set with libvcodec and it works fine with it but I don't play these on the computer but they do play on the computer.

thanks for your help Don't use FFDSHOW X64. I have not tested it and cannot confirm it will work. Use the versions of software I have posted in the beginning of this thread. If you decide you know more than me and you want to use other versions of HAALI, AVIYSNTH, X264, and FFDSHOW -- great -- but you are completely on your own. Don't come back here posting about "latest versions"... I don't know how many times I have to say that, but its really starting to get annoying now.

Correcting self-inflicted injuries is not the purpose of this thread.

[jdobbs]

Why I think it's important is because more and more HTPC users, like me, will use offline/dematerialized way to backup and use there BD collection. If you want to use it for this -- then great. But you have to realize -- I'm not writing HTPC software here. I'm writing BD backup software that is meant to create a backup BD for playback on a standalone player. Other uses are fine -- but they are secondary and are NOT the primary purpose of the software. So the priority just isn't there for me.

As for the secondary audio tracks... I just can't keep adding other packages to BD-RB. It becomes exponentially more complicated and prone to error with every one you add -- and I end up spending more time debugging other people's software than I do my own. I'm already dependent upon AVISYNTH, HAALI, FFDSHOW, X264, and TSMUXER and you look you will see that about the last 20 pages of this thread are dedicated to simply trying to get people to use the ones that work....

[jdobbs]

I had 3175 and it worked fine with it but I went back to 3133 and it is now working I have VC1 set with libvcodec and it works fine with it but I don't play these on the computer but they do play on the computer. Not sure what or why it works with libvcodec but it does.. Problem is fixed not sure what or why te problem happened but no problem here everything is working fine.Be careful. I've had issues with VC-1 interlaced sources with libavcodec. That's why I've recommened wmv9.

Two of the three software packages you listed here are not what was posted in the first post of this thread.

Here was my last message to you before you posted this:
Don't use FFDSHOW X64. I have not tested it and cannot confirm it will work. Use the versions of software I have posted in the beginning of this thread. If you decide you know more than me and you want to use other versions of HAALI, AVIYSNTH, X264, and FFDSHOW -- great -- but you are completely on your own. Don't come back here posting about "latest versions"... I don't know how many times I have to say that, but its really starting to get annoying now.

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! (picture me pulling my hair out)

[SoniG]

Lol glood1 you are in the good way! :) Now uninstall Haali and Avisynth and install those from the link of the first page of this thread! No problem if there are a x86 and a x64 version of ffdshow installed in the same machine, there is no conflict possible. a x86 player/decoder/encoder will always grab x86 codecs and not recognize anything else!

By the way jdobbs, I know you force some flags for BD compliancy purpose but is there a way to bypass them to know if these particular flags cause issue in some purposes. I would like for example not using 'slices' because it seems to cause artefacts when bad supported by some players. I have ugly big lines on the image. I would like to test some other flags to understand the multiple m2ts issue on TMT3 but they are restricted. PM me if you are agree to give it but don't want to share this with everyone. I know it's some kind of large debate. Making this application to shrink BD and keep the best BD/AVCHD compliancy possible in the easiest way, or make it a more open BD shrinker for all kind of use, even future ones. But as I told you, there are also more and more users like me that use only HTPC to backup and read there BD and would certainly want to surpass or bypass BD compliancy for even better image quality or just to solve some compatibility issues. As x264 was not first developped to be strictly BD compliant. I think maybe users of your software could have really the choice to stay in the BD rules or to go through it if they have another use. But it's a point of view, and it is in the respect of what YOU think, what YOU want for your software and what you want it to become! In fact, in absolute terms, I really respect your choice to maintain a strict BD compliancy, and I would prefere to not have to deal with all these dark command tweaks, PC players should be more BD compatible after all!

I usually read and remain silent but a few words if I may.
First I am having great success with BD-RB. It works fantastic thanks to jdobbs and everyone that has contributed to this thread.

@glood1
Use the programs that are on the first post of this thread;
BD-RB v0.31.06
FFDShow 3133
Hali splitter 1.9.42.1
AVISynth 2.57

and try these FFDShow settings
h.264/avc=libavcodec
mpeg2=libavcodec
vc-1=disabled (with wmp11 installed) WM9 (for windows 7)

Do not use versions of these programs or x.264 from any other links or web sites. Do not install any other codecs on the pc that is running BD-RB. If you do BD-RB may not work. Remember this is a beta test and for that you must create a beta test environment on you computer. Also you must follow jdobbs instructions to the letter and post sensible bug reports in order to help him perfect this program.

@soniG
Listen to jdobbs. BD-RB is for backing up your BD collection. I also use an HTPC and TMT3 on my home theater system. I rip the originals (not the backups) using ANY DVD HD to the HTPC hard drive and play them using TMT3 and it works great. If you do not have enough hard drive space buy another hard drive or simply delete some rips. Compression of the original source does not make sense on an HTPC when hard drives are so cheap.

When using tools for their intended purpose they work. When tools are used in any other manner they may not work. You could even injure yourself.

Now let us go back to reading this thread (I know it's large and for that it has many answers) and post only bug reports and let jdobbs get back to developing this fantastic program.

sorry for my english i m french boy

[SoniG]

glood1 : At last you did it! Felicitation! :)

Willobee : in fact I absolutely agree with you and maybe I didn't say it enough but jdobbs software is very useful and DO work perfectly in all occasion. I even have no issue to use it with TMT3, but did you well read I mentionned I have only issue with 'multiple m2ts main movie' BD that for me, have a slight freeze of the image during the movie m2ts transitions. Do you have a 'multi movie version' BD with this kind of structure, you shrinked/reencoded with BD-RB and was able to read flawlessly on TMT3? If you do, it interests me. Apart from this, I backup original BD like you, using ANYDVD. Most of time I even don't touch them, I copy directly the folders on my hard drive. But let's talk about hard drives that are cheap. In fact you right, but BD size is really substantial, and I have a very huge multi medias collection I try today to backup and make become available to one place, one server. About your advice to buy some HD, I have 8x1TB in a RAID5 volume, and it really costs me enough and don't want to put more than 10 hard drives on my server. And you know how many BD you can put on a 6.4TB volume? About 130! That's fair, but is it really a lot? Not really in fact, so I heard you about using BD-RB to just shrink, without reencoding some BD, but now I chose to keep intact BD I DO and WILL love, and use jdobbs fantastic software for BD I less or will less care about but do want to archive, in shrinking and reencoding them, allowing me to save a precious space. Because as well as this collection project, I'm a cinematographer and I don't have only retail movies to store, and space leave very fast, even with a 6.4TB volume! But each one has his own use, and mine is certainly exceptionnal. Finally, I'm even not required to do all this, but since I began to appreciate using a server, discovered Media Center, discovered BD-RB, I love it and can't do without it anymore! :) Now I stop telling my life and flooding this thread! I will just finish saying jdobbs software is the only one I know that allow to shrink/reencode a full BD, keeping the menus, the bonus and even multi-m2ts movies in a one click way, and I really appreciate and thank him for that!

[graffight]

Backup finished successfully, 22.6GB for final size. However, the main feature is only 6.01GB, and with a DTS HD Master audio of 3.10GB, and two other audio tracks within this same .m2ts that equal 513MB, 14 subtitle tracks that are 220MB, it left less than 2.4GB for the video.
Needless to say, video quality is not good.
So all of the original discs extras equal 14.2GB.
All BD-RB's extras equal 16.6GB.
Proportional reduction of extras were lost on this disc.
This could be a good title for you to check out personally.
I am unaware of what else I can do to make this backup deliver more bitrate to the main feature and reduce the extras to allow this. :confused:


i agree with this i have just downsized District uk release onto a Bd25 without any problems at all, but the quality of the main feature is terrible its the worst i've seen since using bd rebuilder didn't think the extras would take so much space up because the overall size of the disc is only 36gb

[Willobee]

Do you have a 'multi movie version' BD with this kind of structure, you shrinked/reencoded with BD-RB and was able to read flawlessly on TMT3? If you do, it interests me.

If I understand you correctly you a referring to BD's that use multiple M2TS streams rather the one M2TS stream for playback of the movie. When playing the backup from BD-RB using TMT3 the screen freezes momentarily during play back when switching between M2TS streams.

One BD that I have done with BD-RB is Angels and Demons. This movie contains several M2TS files. There is a theatrical version and a extended version that use various M2TS files depending on which version you choose to play. I will rip the backup to my HTPC and play it back with TMT3 and let you know the results.

I did make a very good backup of District 9, Region A, to BD-25, but make sure you remove all folders within the rip except CERTIFICATE and BDMV. There is alot of extra content in those other folders that you dont need or want.
I also did not select Quick Encode for Extras, forcing BD-RB to do a 2 pass encode to all files, which will make for a more accurate final output file size. These two steps worked great for me and this movie.

[SoniG]

Willobee : Ok fine, but the backup you made with BD-RB really had to be a shrinked+reencoded one. Shrink only by just removing some audio tracks and subtitles and output a full BD backup do works well, as long as you maintain the same video source. But as soon as you use BD-RB reencode ability to shrink+reduce your backup, the issue appears! And I really think it's a x264 encode issue, as with a shrink only, BD-RB do his job and it plays perfectly fine on TMT. So I am searching a x264 flag that would cause or resolve this but unfortunatly it don't seems to work at all, and as I have the same problem with PowerDVD, I have to find another workaround! I am thinking about a perfectly PBBB sequence that is perfectly sticked between files on the original and that would be difficult to reproduce! Or a special VC-1 files sequencing playback ability... Who knows!

[Willobee]

@soniG

My angles and demons BD was shrink+re-encode. I made a backup of the entire BD to a BD25 which required re-encoding. I ripped the BD-RB backup copy of angles and demons (BD25) to my HTPC and played it back using TMT3. I noticed some slight tearing in the video that my be occurring when switching between M2TS files and once or twice the video did freeze for a split second. I also played the BD itself using TMT3 with the same result.

This movie plays good on the HTPC using TMT3 when ripped from the original BD. So I would agree that something has happened during the re-encoding process but the BD-RB backup plays fine in my stand alone BD player.

I would have to say that BD-RB is not a good choice for re-encoding BD's that contain multiple M2TS streams for the purpose of play back using a software player on an HTPC. As jdobbs stated in an earlier post TMT3 is a software player and there are many reasons why this is happening and is not a fault of BD-RB since it is not designed to perform this task.

You seem to understand the video encoding process far better than I and I hope you can come up with a soultion to this problem.

I can only conclude that for now BD's with multiple M2TS streams should be ripped to the HTPC from the original only and BD-RB be used to make backup copies that can be played on a stand alone player. If the BD-RB backups can play on the HTPC then great we can save some space on the HTPC hard drive using the ones that work.

[fpltdc]

I am running Win7 64-bit and I have uninstalled and re-installed all the correct versions of the recommended software. I was using RB 31.05 before with no problems at all especially when doing full movie backups to BD25. Had issues with BD9, but that was probably because of not using the AVCHD patch before burning. Anyway, when I tried to do the backup for this movie, POTC1, I had the "encode failed" error, at the first video.

[tacky187]

...1- the possibility to recognize and manage secondary DTS Express audio tracks with BDClown that use TSMuxer like you and eac3to

Even though eac3to can extract DTS-Express, I don't believe this actually works. tsMuxer doesn't recognize these streams and if you check the tsMuxeR.LOG, you'll see the Express tracks completely missing. As a test, run a file with an Express track through the app outputting as a new m2ts, then run eac3to on the new m2ts and you'll see the Express track missing.

I think that until eac3to can mux to Bluray/m2ts container, or tsMuxer can recognize Express streams, we won't have a good solution for preserving those tracks.

[Sephiroth0000]

Settings used with BDRebuilder
1080P to 720P downsize, DVD-9 File size, Movie Only backup, Do not encode audio streams, English subtitles/audio, Slowest form of video encoding (great quality)

It goes all the way through the first and second pass and gives me the file which plays and looks brilliant up until 14 minutes when it freezes on Sam Witwickys Dad's face before he goes to college. HOWEVER even though it sticks the audio keeps playing correctly and the video bitrate is still going up and down as if the file is playing

Going to uninstall everything tonight and reinstall it all and will let everyone know how I get along

Setup
Asus P5N7A-VM, Intel Dualcore E5200 2.50Ghz O/C to 3.45Ghz, 4GB OCZ DDR2 6400 Ram, Windows 7 Home Premium x64

Thanks Willobee, we arrive to the same conclusion and it was just what I would like to point out! I'm glad to read that it works well on an external player, player I don't have. ... But I think TMT stay a fantastic player for HTPC users with very good quality! And HTPC is just a bunch of hardware and software as an external player is, just in a different level! Software player developpers just had to make it as functionnal as DVD can perfectly be played now, that's was also far to be the case in the PowerDVD early stages! :) But in fact except this issue, all is working pretty well with TMT.
So as TMT can read original multi-m2ts BD and as external players can read these shrinked+reencoded backups BD, there is a share issue between x264 and the way TMT and PowerDVD read it! It can be an easy issue as it can be a very complex and subtle one. The only other thing that it could be, is in the playlist or BD restructuration level, but well if it can be played on external players, that's the principal. So you right, for the moment, we have to keep these BD without reencode if we intend to play them on HTPC. There is another solution but more complex and technical and force you to choose from one of the movie versions, but in maintaining menus, bonus etc.. It's better than nothing!


tacky187 : I said BDClown can do it, not TSMuxer alone. I outputed in .mkv a movie with his PiP¨bonus and his DTS express track, itself converted to AC3 right on BDClown. I don't know how he did it, but he did!

Secondary audio streams have to be either Dolby Digital Plus or DTS Express.

Thanks again for the great program Mr. Dobbs!
May I ask if this is possible:
I have two small Blu-ray movies (11 & 12 Gb) that I wish to put on one disc. If I process both through BD_RB, can I then have imgburn put both BDMV folders on one disc, and both will play sequentially?
Thank you!

My English is not very good i post me Message in Germany sorry


Bei den meisten Filmen wo ne HD Spur dabei ist macht mir BD Rebuilder ne AC3Tonspur draus , obwohl ich ihm die Hacken gesetzt habe das er es nicht machen soll
habe einen Hacken gesetzt bei Keep HD Audio
do not konvert dts to AC3
do not reencoded.....

Ich nehme an das das die richtigen sind, bekomme aber trotzdem ne AC3 Spur Spur gemacht!!!

Muss man da noch irgendetwas umstellen das einen die HD Spur bleibt????

Es gibt kein: "in den meisten Fällen".
Entweder es wird bei identischen Einstellungen immer konvertiert oder nicht.

Wenn du "Movie only" benutzt, dann wird eine HD Audiospur nach AC3 konvertiert.

Der Erhalt von HD Tonspuren ist m.W. nur bei Nutzung der Option "Full movie" möglich, wie von DeanK bereits HIER (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1364154#post1364154) genannt.

[SoniG]

jdobbs : Well I think I could let it to DTS Express and output it in m2ts format. That was just to point out that BDClown can recognize and demux it!

Ich benutze eigentlich immer full Movie (Origianl 50 GB und ich stelle nur um auf 25 GB, aber komplette Blu Ray) bei mir gehts nicht ich kann machen was ich will , kontroliere den Film nähmlich nacher mit TS Muxer und da habe ich dan stehen DTS bei audio und bei der original steht DTS-HD

Was tsMuxeR in diesem Fall ausliest, muss deswegen noch lange nicht 100% stimmen.

Mach den Gegentest und lass von tsMuxeR mal den Audiostream demuxen vom Quellmaterial und vom konvertierten Material.

Wenn Größenunterschiede vorliegen werden, dann weisst du, dass das eine die Originaltonspur und die andere eine modifizierte Variante wäre, was aber nicht der Fall sein dürfte laut dem, was jdobbs z.B hier gesagt hat:

If you have "Keep HD Audio" selected -- I'm certain you are keeping the exact HD audio that was on the original. How it registers in playback or verifying software I can't confirm. It should be easy to tell just by the size of the extracted audio files

Und nun lass uns die Geduld nicht überstrapazieren und auf Englisch weitermachen!

+++++++++++++++++

Just to keep other readers up2date:

According to cbwolf, he is doing FULL movie conversions and has the impresison that the audio streams are not untouched but changed as tsmuxer states "only" DTS after the conversion and not DTS-HD any more as it would with the original material.

Having ticked the "do not convert audio" options bd-rb should not convert the dts streams as jdobbs has once more pointed out here:

If you have "Keep HD Audio" selected -- I'm certain you are keeping the exact HD audio that was on the original. How it registers in playback or verifying software I can't confirm. It should be easy to tell just by the size of the extracted audio files - LINK (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1352191#post1352191)

my advice is to demux the audio stream in question with tsmuxer and compare the size of the original material against the converted files - there should be no difference if theory is correct.

[jdobbs]

jdobbs : Well I think I could let it to DTS Express and output it in m2ts format. That was just to point out that BDClown can recognize and demux it! Not unless BDClown does the muxing itself -- TSMUXER wont touch it.

[SoniG]

yeah jdobbs, it was to point out that there is one software that manage to support this format. But I don't know how they do and how difficult it is to code this, and as I absolutely know nothing about coding, that's why my first intention was to inform you and let you think about it. And that's right I first thought it was thanks to TSMuxer and eac3to, but they maybe manage this internally. But I'm not totally sure because there is a lot of external app on their package.

[drmih]

I had a look at this a few months ago - it is eac3to that can demux DTS Express - the only useful thing at this stage is that it can convert it to ac3 (or whatever) - from what others have said it looks like it then remuxes the secondary audio as a non conformant ac3 stream. It would be interesting to see whether the majority of SAPs would object to this but I know from what jdobbs has said that such a non-conformaty won't be supported by bd-rebuilder.
There is a product called Blue Cloner which offers compression of blu-ray discs but the trial only allows one 'test' and I have to say that it hung when I used it.

[jdobbs]

But I'm not totally sure because there is a lot of external app on their package.At some point I plan to implement my own muxer within BD-RB -- then I won't be tied to TSMUXER and I can include support for DTS Express.

[SoniG]

jdobbs : Well, that's a good news!

Has anyone noticed a loss in picture quality when keeping DTS in BD-9 backup over AC3? I did a backup of Quantum of Solace to BD-9, one with AC3 and one with DTS option, I did could not tell a difference in picture quality on my 92" Da-lite screen and 720p Sharp Z3000 as well as on my bedroom set, Samsung LN40B550- 40" LCD. I prefer and would like to keep DTS over AC3 but only if there is no loss in picture quality by keeping DTS over AC3. Is this due to the movie being only 106 mins. (29 GB on original disc) OR is it generally no loss in picture quality by choosing DTS when backup to BD-9?

[fpltdc]

I don't think these encode failures were resolved for the previous posters in this thread, and my previous post might have escaped notice by jdobbs as well. There is probably something different about these movies because I encoded other movies beside these, "Iron Man" as an example, using the same settings and software, and had no problems whatsoever. Any suggestions or comments?

[DVDIT]

I think it would depend on the DTS bitrate as compared to the AC3 bitrate -- and the resulting bitrate used for video.

From QUANTUM OF SOLACE BD-9 backups:

DTS audio bitrate= 1509 kps, Video 8,198 kps
AC3 audio bitrate = 640 kps and Video 8,831 kps

As rule of thumb, at what resulting/calculated bitrate used for video should I consider to elect NOT to reencode DTS? 7500, 8000, above 8000 kbs?

I'm having problems with the latest Star Trek TOS Season 2 BD. My players seem to have difficulty with all the angle switching going on. The originals seem fine. There's either a long pause during some angle switches or on occasion it will lock up my Samsung BD-p1500. The Samsung is problematic with the series anyway. The latest version of TMT3 is my software player and it has problems with angle changes as well, particularly disc 2. Most of the time the BD Rebuilder encodes will start off playing with the wrong angle as well, but all you have to do is skip back to the start of the episode and it will play the correct angle. Anyway, I thought I would let you know about it. I've included the logs for disc 2:

Thanks, Capsbackup! This information really helps me because I am using Windows 7 64-bit..., oh wait, I guess it doesn't. My XP Pro SP3 machine is just too slow compared to the one with Win7, so I won't even bother using that for BD Rebuilder.

I'm having problems with the latest Star Trek TOS Season 2 BD. My players seem to have difficulty with all the angle switching going on. The originals seem fine.

Anyway, I thought I would let you know about it. I've included the logs for disc 2:I'll pick up the series and give it a try. I assume you are doing a BD-25 backup?

[meatwad]

I'll pick up the series and give it a try. I assume you are doing a BD-25 backup?

Yes, BD-25 full backup. The logs were so long that I just uploaded them as a .txt file. TMT3 usually handles the angle changes well without any noticeable pausing, but with disc 2 it's noticeable while the original plays fine.

Thanks for looking into it so quickly. This has been the only problem I've encountered in months.

I've tried from both and the results are the same.

hello,
Quick question about how BDR is supposed to work. when saving a 'movie only' back up where the mt2s file of the movie is 23.9GB, the save is only 16.7GB. i tried both the BD-25 and a custom 30gb target size setting. why is it shrinking the movie (or is it?)? since it's less than the target size, shouldn't it just roughly pull it out and save it as about the same size?
thanks.
JC

Hi!

Have you de-selected any audiostreams and/or subtitle streams?

JC If, after removing any streams you've chosen to remove, the original stream will fit "as-is" on the target, BD-RB keeps the original video pristine and doesn't reencode it. That assures the best quality backup. But can also result in output that is smaller than your target. That's probably what is happening in your case. But -- it's a good thing.

[jcrighton]

Hi and thanks,
what else is removed? i encoded again keeping the french dts-hd stream (there are 2 dts-hd and 2 ac3 audio streams- disk is district 9) and it increased to 17.3GB. the remaining two audio streams are ac3 and should be smaller- and it does indeed say video is not changed. adding back the ac3 would probably take it up to 18GB at the most. what is the other roughly 5GB that is lost? i'm just asking for curosity; i love the program.
while here, will it ever be able to handle a BD like dvd shrink does a dvd, removing individual tracks and keeping the rest? or being able to "x out" the video streams like you can do with the audio streams now?
thanks again.

Hello!

I have a strange problem with some BDs - for example I,Robot, FDK1 and FDK2 (disc's with DTS audio track): audio is perfect, but the picture is jerking. I tested different BD-R and BD-RE on my Pioneer BDP-51FD - same result. On my PC the disc play fine.

It looks like the error occurs when I have this message in the tsmuxer logfile: "H264 bitstream changed: insert pict timing and buffering period SEI units "

Here are the tsmuxer logfile:

i have burned 7 copies of public enemies and each one of them it freezes after the 5min mark and intermediately through out the entire film, i used the bd-r 25gb setting, and it plays fine on the pc but no matter what blu ray player you play it on, it does that, is it a problem with the way it rebuilded the movie?

I guess you mean extras, etc? It'll eventually allow you to pick what complete streams to keep... not yet, though.

I did it with no issues.

i burned with imgburn & nero and in the bdp-350 (sony) player it freezes here and there all the time, but playing on the pc it works good, what do you recommend i should do? re rip the movie again and re do it with bd-rb again? or try different media on that movie? im using tdk 25gb 1-4x disc

im doing full backup, i just wish i knew what would cause the issue, i wouldnt think the certificate folder or something could be wrong or anything right? trying to narrow it down.

since im doing full backup is there any options you would try setting for it? cause if you didnt have any problems i would like to know the settings you chose

also when i use build in imgburn, do you add the bdmv & certificate folder or delete the one anydvd gives you and let imgburn add one for you?

HI guys, i am new here but not on blu-ray ripping thing. You see i have a medium collection of bd movies and want to rip the movies only and the dts master audio track and they hover around 20gig. I don't have a blu ray drive so i use my ps3 with YDL 6.2 to make iso to network folder and then mount the image with virtual clone drive from slysoft, run anydvd hd, i then mount that resulting iso and treat it with bd rebuilder latest 0.31.06 and all the extra, ffdshow,haali, avisinth. Everything go perfect, i see the m2ts movie file and all audio+subtitles and of course i check the dts master audio file and uncheck all others(for purpose of testing i tried full movie and all audio or a mix of 1+2+3.....to see if at least i would get 5.1 sound). Anyway all goes well and finish with no error with the right size resulting file. I use ps3 media server to play all my dvd rip iso or ts video or anything very well and the audio 5.1 dolby digital i chose in case of dvds, the blu-ray rip video is perfect(1920X1080) but audio always end up being DD 2channels, so no dts hd 5.1 even tough i picked only this one from the start. Even when trying to play with pc via powerdvd 9 or arcsoft total media theater best for m2ts files, again 2 channels. I tryied everything from tsmuxer,clown bd,10 different bd rip software, using previous version or new ones,daemon tools instead of slysoft virtual drive. I do not necesarely burn them, just keep'em on 1TB hdd from steaming to ps3. When bd reb. finish analyzing disc it says -audio ac3=0- dts=0- hd=1-kbps=640.Why!!! I am running vista home premium and ultimate on 2 different pc with always same result, help me please countless hours without success are making me go nuts...sorry for the long post, if someone has ideas can send to matyza@live.ca thanks:confused:

AVCHD doesn't support DTS -- so the audio has to be converted. If, however, the source is 5.1 or 7.1 -- the output will be DD 5.1. BD-RB never converts anything to DD 2.0 -- that can ONLY happen if the original was 2.0. Also, if you are outputting to anything smaller than a BD-25 (regardless of the "strict" setting), the audio output will be the DTS core rather than the full HD stream. That's purposeful, because HD audio is just too big to fit on anything less than a BD-25 and will ruin your video quality.

There has to be a .AVS file for each of the audio streams -- it is used for the encoding. There might be several of them (depending upon the track) -- but in your case the file would be AUD_00004_4352.AVS. I should have been clearer (now that I think about it, the error message is a little misleading also). Is it possible your system is hiding the extension ".AVS"?

After my initial posting about errors with Revenge Of The Fallen I completely uninstalled and reinstalled everything to do with BDRebuilder and have managed to get DVD-9 movie only backups of Revenge Of The Fallen & Terminator Salvation sized down to 720P with the best encoder settings and the results are amazing even compared to their 1080P master copy's.

But now Origins Wolverine keeps failing when attempting to retrieve audio/subs causing TSMuxer to crash. I have uninstalled, cleaned registry and then reinstalled everything once again and the same problem.... any possible ideas?

[PurpleMan]

@jdobbs:

I am experiencing an issue with BD-RB for quite a long time (many versions). I was always reluctant to report it as I saw no one else ever did, but it's so annoying that I figured - what the heck.

Every single time BD-RB starts an encode (calling x264) it will then soon pick a window (randomly? I have yet to detect a pattern, but it's usually a window I'm using) and just freeze it. I mean, the window (can be MS-Word, Firefox, even calculator!) just stops responding. It seems that the program itself is still active (writing/reading files, processing), but the GUI freezes.

At this point I have three choices: 1) Wait for the current encoding step to finish, after which the window regains its responsiveness. 2) brutally end task and relaunch the program. Or 3) abort the current encode (or end x264.exe task) and restart the encode.

I might also mention that sometimes the window that's being frozen is BD-RB's itself! It usually happens when I switch from one window to another, etc.

If I remember correctly, this problem started appearing after you solved the "Cannot find window" bd-rb error many users were reporting and you spent many versions trying to fix (don't remember the exact error message, but I'm sure you know what I mean).

I contacted the x264 developer who's active in this thread, and he said this is likely BD-RB's fault and not x264's.

My setup is Windows 7 x64. If you need additional information I'll be happy to provide it. Hope this gets sorted out :)

I'm also using Windows 7 x64 for my encodes, and I've never experienced anything even remotely like what you are describing. Is it only the one window that is affected (others are still functioning)?

One possibility -- what priority are you using from the ENCODER menu? Try setting it to IDLE priority and see if it has an effect.

Meanwhile I'll go back to the code related to the window find and see if I see anything odd happening.

[Edit] Well I went through the code -- and it most certainly isn't related to the window find. It's actually a pretty simple process. Since this is happening only to you -- I have to assume that it isn't something within BD-RB itself but rather something in your system or setup. If I get any other reports I'll follow up again.

I installed BD-Rebuilder from this site and installed it exactly according to your instructions and I have had no problems encoding and rebuilding to BD-5s and BD-25s. I am using ImgBurn and all the DVD-Rs and BD-25s I burned play perfectly with no problem so far.

I did burn two BD-RE 25s (one Optical Quantum and one Verbatim) and neither will play on my Panasonic BMP-605. I get the error “Cannot read.

The BD-REs will load and read for a while but about the time the menu or movie would come up is when the error message is displayed.

According to the manual, both BD-R and BD-RE are supported by the DMP-605 as BD-V. The only difference I can see is that the BD-R needs Version 2 of the BD-R format and BD-RE needs Version 3 of the BD-RE format.

I am not sure you call this a bug but this is the only problem I have had so far. You have done a great job and it is much better than anything I can find commercially and I have contributed to help your efforts. This is my first post on this site, so if I bent any protocols please be merciful.

I am pretty sure that this is not related to my issue but in case you want a data point, I am using Windows 7 RC with all the patches. I do run BD-Rebuilder from another folder besides Program Files(x86) folder and VC-1 is set on WM9 as the instructions recommend.

:thanks:

[jdobbs]

I installed BD-Rebuilder from this site and installed it exactly according to your instructions and I have had no problems encoding and rebuilding to BD-5s and BD-25s. I am using ImgBurn and all the DVD-Rs and BD-25s I burned play perfectly with no problem so far.

I did burn two BD-RE 25s (one Optical Quantum and one Verbatim) and neither will play on my Panasonic BMP-605. I get the error “Cannot read. Please Check the Disk” for a BD-5 file set (as a test - no reason to do this for real) and also for a BD-25 file set. My thought was to use the BD-RE to test different options without wasting a BD-R.

:thanks: Are you burning from within BD-RB (from the FILE menu or automatic burning)? If not, please try it.

[PurpleMan]

Wow. I'm also using Windows 7 x64 for my encodes, and I've never experienced anything even remotely like what you are describing. Is it only the one window that is affected (others are still functioning)?

One possibility -- what priority are you using from the ENCODER menu? Try setting it to IDLE priority and see if it has an effect.

Meanwhile I'll go back to the code related to the window find and see if I see anything odd happening.

[Edit] Well I went through the code -- and it most certainly isn't related to the window find. It's actually a pretty simple process. Since this is happening only to you -- I have to assume that it isn't something within BD-RB itself but rather something in your system or setup. If I get any other reports I'll follow up again.

The encoder is set to idle. And yes, once a window is frozen, all others continue to function properly and no other will freeze.
Wish I had an angle on what's causing it. This only happens with BD-RB. Nothing else.

By any chance do you have CoreAVC installed? I've only seen this happen on my system if I have CoreAVC set as the default decoder.

[jdobbs]

This only happens with BD-RB. Nothing else.Yeah -- but from my viewpoint it also only happens to you, and nobody else. It's gotta be something peculiar to your system.

Hi, I have done three backups of Transporter 3 and all have failed to play correctly on my pc and bd-re bluray disc. Bd-rebuilder has no error messages; all seem to go through ok. The first two times were set at CRF pass mode and the third on 2 pass mode. The picture is broken up with distorted sound; the original file (31.8 GB) plays ok. I have done backups before and they played ok. I’m using v0.31.05 and doing full backup on bd-25, any help appreciated.

...... But now Origins Wolverine keeps failing when attempting to retrieve audio/subs causing TSMuxer to crash. I have uninstalled, cleaned registry and then reinstalled everything once again and the same problem.... any possible ideas?
TsmuxeR has (exceptionally) a problem with certain sups when resizing to 720p (see earlier posts) in DB-RB. I don't know if Wolverine Origins is one of the problematic discs. You may try again with the sups disabled, or leave it at the original 1080p resolution.

Added:
I just did a quick test with Wolverine 720p. Seems to be no problem here .....

Hi,

Many thanks Jdobbs for a great program!! I've managed to complete a few BD25 "movie only" backups with no problems, however when playing with the "full backup" all goes well but when I play it in my Sony BDP-S360 when it gets to the menu there is no background or sound playing?? the menu works ok (so does the sound as you move the cursor on the menu) and lets me play the movie and extras, when I play the disc on my PC using PowerDVD 8 the whole thing works fine with the menu background playing etc, and my friend tried one on his Philips BD player and it worked fine on there too! I have followed your instructions implicitly using the exact software and versions you have stated, as well as the settings on my BDP-S360 but no joy, I've tried 2 different discs on "full backup" with the same result, any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Is0

Well jdobbs, I searched my C drive to make sure there is no other aften.exe. No other one found. I re unzipped BD Rebuilder 3106 and copy and pasted aften.exe into the tools folder. Interesting enough the new unzipped aften.exe windows showed it as 267kb, The old aften.exe as 266kb.

I remounted the image in Daemon tools lite and tried running the .BAT file by double-clicking on it again but still getting the same error. Is ther any other way I can get the audio to work?
AS I said before I am using the Milotis guide for a lack of another more up to date guide. Seems like if I can get buy the aften.exe part everything else looks good.

THanks again for all your help. I am now thinking of starting again from scratch and reincode the whole movie again and see if it continues to happen unless you have any other ideas.:thanks:

@blusky;
Since you have mentioned: I remounted the image in Daemon tools lite I would like to suggest a different approach.
If you use ANYDVD HD, can you try to rip the disc to hard drive folder, not an image, and run BD-RB all over again ( I know, it can take a long time :rolleyes: )
I, and many others, use this method, and have not experienced this issue before. This will also remove one potential software conflict, Daemon Tools, from the backup. :cool:

Have you tried it on a standalone player? Most software players are just outright buggy and its hard to put your finger on whether the issue is in the player or the encoding...

The current version is v0.31.06.

Thanks for replying jdobbs
Yes, the standalone player just spat it out as unreadable, I have just backed up Death race (movie only) and that plays ok, although the output size is only 18 GB (is that normal?). Could it be a bad rip, but then it would not play on the pc?

Could it be a bad rip, but then it would not play on the pc? That usually means that the original is small, and after removing whatever streams you've chosen to remove -- the original video can be used without reencoding. That's a good thing -- because it is always better not to reencode unless you have to.

I just did a backup of a disc the other day in which the original disc with all audio/pgs streams was only 18GB.

One pass CRF. Have just burnt to disc and it will not play in my LG pc drive or standalone Sony but plays perfect from the Rebuilder files.

Question, more than anything! Ref - Inglourious Basterds. I want to make a movie only version of this disc (a full disc version means the film file size is about 14gig (DTSHD and 2 hrs 30 long)). Is there anyway of forcing the subtitles (in English) to come on in Movie only mode?
Many thanks!

Im not sure about all blu-rays, but for Inglorious Basterds it actually has another subtitle track for English (and 3 other languages) that just comes on when non english bits are on.

Ive yet to check Taken. From what I've seen that seems to be how they all work. If there was, for example, an English subtitle that comes on only when another language is spoken (in the English audio track) -- it would be a separate PGS from the "all-inclusive" English one.

Nope, I've seen some subtitles that have a forced flag (if I don't remember bad Angels & Demons is one of them), so as DVDs, you can select a subtitle, but not activate it and when a forced flag is read, then they become visible.

If the forced subs are in another track, there is a small app (Correct BD or something similar) in which for JMBD you can select the audio and subpicture track that will start when you play the movie.

So all you'd have to do is turn that one on by default via the patch (e.g. Inglorious Basterds -- the one that only contains English subtitles that are displayed when German is spoken in the English audio track).

I am starting the rebuild all over again using the suggestion that Jdobbs suggested witch was deselecting "Do not reencode AC3". I assume this then leaves the AC3 file in its original size??
Anyway It should be finished encodeing somtime late tonight. I will post reply and then try your suggestion of not using an image but just using the folder where it was ripped to. Did not know that I could do it that way. I'll keep trying till I get it write. lol.... :thanks:

Did just that and with no reported errors on the whole process and ImgBurn verified the disk but it still will not play on the DMP-605. Same exact error.

Yep, that was what I tried to said, but my english is not good enough, with Correct BD you can easily specify the default audio and subpicture tracks.

[9020V]

I've been playing with this software and have some issues/questions:

I am going exclusively from BD50 -> BS25 in full-disc mode.

(1) How do you know if HD audio is retained? If you don't check "keep HD audio," but the HD audio track is the only one selected (while the others are x'ed out), does that mean it is converting the HD audio track to AC3 640 kbps?

(2) SIZES!!! How big is the HD audio track? How much space are the extras going to take up? How much compression is the main picture going to suffer? I can't find answers to any of this. I would really like to know how much everything is being compressed. Preferably, I would like to compress the extras the most while compressing the main picture the least.

(3) How much is picture quality going to suffer by keeping the HD audio track? On average, can you compare the file sizes for AC3, DTS, TrueHD, and DTS-MA tracks? I know PCM is around 16GB based on your other posts, but can you give me an idea of how large the other types are on blu-ray?

(4) If I keep a HD audio track, should I also keep an AC3 track on the disc? Or will most players decode HD audio? For example, I have a PS3. Suppose I want to output sound over toslink to a HT system (which can't carry HD audio), and I have a disc with only 1 audio track, which is an HD track. Will the PS3 decode the HD audio into something that is compressed and can travel over toslink, or will I get no sound at all? In other words, does the PS3 only output AC3 or DTS over toslink or will it reprocess HD audio to travel over toslink? It shouldn't be an issue as I use HDMI to my TV, but I don't know if my TV decodes HD audio. Furthermore, I am confused if the PS3 actually sends HD audio over HDMI (something about bitstreaming?).

(5) From your experience, how much a difference in picture quality can you tell when compressing a full 50GB blu-ray movie (totally full with HD audio and extras) down to 25GB? That is compressing it to half its original size!

(6) When setting the size, I was using Target: BD-25, but that always left about 1.4 GB free and only filled up 94% of the disc! Is there a reason you are reserving so much empty space on the disc? I manually set the target size to 23866MB, and it still left 400MB free on the disc. These results seem to be repeatable. I would like to use every last bit on the disc if possible unless there is a reason to have a buffer of used real estate at the disc edge.

Otherwise everything has been working amazing. I just need this information in order to better use the program. Thanks!!

[Capsbackup]

So many questions in a bug reports only thread! :p
(1) How do you know if HD audio is retained?

(2) SIZES!!! How big is the HD audio track?
Will vary. Try and rip several full discs and keep several audio tracks, both HD types and DD 640kbps. Then just go into the folder you have selected for the output and view with Windows Explorer to see the different file sizes for the different types of audio.
(3) How much is picture quality going to suffer by keeping the HD audio track?
Hardly noticeable unless there is a lot of extras. Check the total time for the full backup with BD-RB before starting, if less than 4 hrs, you should be good.
(4) If I keep a HD audio track, should I also keep an AC3 track on the disc?
Not necessarily, there are many original Blu-Rays produced that only have an HD audio track.
(5) From your experience, how much a difference in picture quality can you tell when compressing a full 50GB blu-ray movie (totally full with HD audio and extras) down to 25GB? That is compressing it to half its original size!
X264 is quite an amazing encoder, so your eyes will have to be the judge.
(6) When setting the size, I was using Target: BD-25, but that always left about 1.4 GB free and only filled up 94% of the disc! Is there a reason you are reserving so much empty space on the disc? I manually set the target size to 23866MB, and it still left 400MB free on the disc. These results seem to be repeatable. I would like to use every last bit on the disc if possible unless there is a reason to have a buffer of used real estate at the disc edge.
This is quite normal, with 2 pass encoding being more accurate than the other options. If you oversize, it can take a long time to redo. It is also generally better to not burn to the outer edge of the disc, but everyone has there own opinion on this subject, with the belief that the quality will be higher if the disc is filled.:rolleyes:

How do you pick out the audio files in the folder? What are the extensions? Are you talking about before you encode with BD rebuilder or after? I looked in the folder of a completed BDR project and it appeared the audio and video were combined into a single large file.

[Capsbackup]

The individual files, be it .ac3, .dts, .wav, .pcm, etc will be in there as well, for the ones you selected to keep, only if you uncheck Remove workfiles folder after rebuild.
Before you start a backup, BD-RB will have the time of all to be encoded listed.

[robinsj]

Is there a way that this would leave the main movie file alone without any encoding, and just encode the extras?

[Capsbackup]

Is there a way that this would leave the main movie file alone without any encoding, and just encode the extras?

I'm not exactly sure how this option works, but from the change log:
- Added a new hidden parameter. "FORCE_NOENCODE=1" will
tell BD Rebuilder to keep the origina video intact, no
matter what size. Note that if you have "FORCE_ENCODE"
set as well, encoding will take precedence.
Maybe give it a try and report your findings. :)

[blusky]

Ok jdobbs, I selected "Do not reencode AC3". I think I will start again from the beginning and see what happens. I'll post back. Thank you very much for your help.

jdobbs,
I did as you suggested and selected ,"do not reincode AC3."

Looks like it worked!

Just to make sure I understand , by selecting "Do not reencode AC3" it left the audio file in the original size. How can I find the size of the AC3 audio to see what kind of an impact it will have on video quality since I only have 4.27GB for video and audio??

Next I will try Capsbackup suggestion of not using Daemon tools and just reincode form the hard drive. I assume it will be a little slower this way??

Thanks for all the help. Greatly appreciated.:thanks:

[Capsbackup]

There will be a .ac3 file in the WORKFILES folder, if you did not select to Remove WORKFILES folder in setup. Something like "AUD_00004_4352.ac3".
A recent movie only rebuild for me has a 408MB ac3 for a 1:39:15 movie. It's corresponding core .dts file is 963MB, which is less than the original .dts hd master, which could be 2GB or more.
It is a matter of personal preference, but low action movies up to 2 hrs long should be great quality with one ac3 up to 640 kbps on a BD5 disc. I have done longer ones to BD5, and could not see a difference either. :)

[raspi2]

hi, i know this isn't a bug, but I was wondering what people do when they are backing up tv shows from a bluray and don't want to do the whole disc? I was thinking a size of 4000 MB per show based on 45 minutes, but is there a way to do multiple files in one folder? I haven't messed with the Batch encoding yet, but thought this may work. My example is Season 2, Disc 1 of Mad Men. It has five episodes on it and I wanted to do something similar to a Movie-Only encode. I know my resulting project size would be ~ 20GB, but that is fine.

Thanks for any input,

raspi2

Ref the forced subtitles, "Taken" has just 4 subtitle tracks. Only 1 of English - so maybe there is some sort of flag thing going on?!?! Doing a full disc of "Taken" is the only way the flag appears? A movie only version, run thru Clown BD for instance, keeps the english subs on all the time, when choosing forced at the beginning.

[jwjohnson]

I found with "Da Vinci Code" that I had to include the english subs for them to show up when actors are speaking French/German but did not activate them in any way. If you choose them when playing movie (only works with full backup) you get them on all the time. I think forcing them in BD-RB does the same thing. I don't know if all movies work that way. This was a BD-25 Movie Only backup.

[meadrocks]

Somehow my Hellboy disk has gone bad. Anydvd errors out in the streams dir when I try & copy all of the dir. I did copy the 00032.m2ts file off the disk, which was 32 Gig, I assume it is the movie. What other files do I need in order to do a movie only backup of the disk?

[chompy]

I also get the forced subtitles working as it should be in movie only rips placing the subtitle track that contains them the first without enabling this track, then only subtitles with forced flag are displayed.

Hi

I've successfully rebuild a blu-ray on my laptop, using the fastest and lowest quality settings. It took 9 hours.
Now I want to try a rebuild for the *same* movie on my desktop, and I get the following error:
- Encode failed. Retrying.
- Encode failed. Retrying.
- Reached retry limit. Aborting.
- FFDSHOW Revision: (3133)
[10:49:42] - Failed video encode, aborted
It can't really be a problem with the source as it worked on my laptop. So I tried copying the LASTCMD.TXT to a cmd and got the following error:
avs [error]: DirectShowSource: couldn't create filter graph:
CoInitialize has not been called.
(Q:\STARGATE BD25\WORKFILES\VID_00232.AVS, line 2)
x264 [error]: could not open input file `Q:\STARGATE BD25\WORKFILES\VID_00232.AVS'
STARGATE BD25 is the working folder.
I use all the packages you recommended.
I also tried reinstalling everything, so I'm out of ideas.
EDIT: Ah, using Windows 7 x64.
EDIT2: VID_00232.AVS opens fine in Virtualdubmod, so I suppose Avisynth is not the issue here.
I'd try other x264 builds but I don't know which are compatible with BD Rebuilder.

Time is not a concern. Why is it not good to burn to the outer edges? 1.4GB seems like a HUGE buffer of unused space. I could almost put an HD audio track in there.

[jdobbs]

The outer edges are suspect on even the high-quality discs. I've been told it's a result of the manufacturing process -- but that's about all I can say except it has been proven true in my experience.

Yes, 1.4GB is a lot... and I'm increasing it a little at a time. The point is that the minimal improvement you get doesn't justify the significant risk involved in having to reaccomplish a 16 hour encode becase it is too big. In my testing I'm seeing variations of as much at 700MB in size with the same target settings for a BD-25 depending upon the source. So when someone decides to increase it very much at all -- they shouldn't be surprised when they hit the odd disc that suddenly doesn't fit... all I can say is "don't come crying to me, I warned you".

[robinsj]

I'm not exactly sure how this option works, but from the change log:

Maybe give it a try and report your findings. :)

Well this is a start, it didn't encode anything. But is there an option that i could use to where it only encodes the extras, and leaves the main movie alone except for the audio and such that I select for it to delete?

[setarip_old]

@Yauncle

Hi!

I noticed that "Stargate" is one of the few MPEG-2 BluRay discs I've come across. Therefore, I'd suggest that in the settings for FFDShow, you should make certain that MPEG-2 is set to anything other than "Disabled"...

[blusky]

Success!
I was finally able to backup my movie to a BD5 disk using BD Rebuilder with the help of Jdobbs and Capsbackup.
Wow, I was really impressed with the quality of the video. I have a Sony 40" XBR lcd tv and I could not tell the difference between original disk and the bd5 backup.The audio was perfectly synked to the video.

Jdobbs, you were not kidding when you said that X264 encoder was the best. Thanks for writing such a great program.

Thanks Jdobbs and Capsbackup for all your help. Capsbackup I will try your method next to see if I can get the aften.exe to work. :thanks::)

[Yauncle]

setarip_old, that's not the problem.
The first thing it warned me about is to set MPEG2 to libavcodec, so I did that, and it still didn't work.
Also, I tried Star Wars The Clone Wars The Movie, and it gave the same error.

[tacky187]

Has anyone successful backed up The Sixth Sense? I've backed up over 25 discs so far without a single glitch, but The Sixth Sense hangs on me. I have it set to quick rip extras. I've tried several times and it always gets to 95-98% of VID_00016 and just hangs. The app responds and moves, but it's like x264 just flat out quit for some reason. Any thoughts?

EDIT: I'll post my settings after the current disc is done processing.

[mouw]

Also I notice that if MODE=1 in ini (movie only) it says 'selected source is not BD format' if I change back to full movie it loads the same content just fine. Vista 64 bit OS.

Illegal Source: Selected Source is not BD format

same thing happens 4me w/ Gimme Shelter
normally i have MODE=0 Movie Only as Default
when i change MODE=1 FULL over in INI file
Gimme Shelter loads fine -- NO Illegal Source ERRmsg

Vista-64 == BDrebuilder 31.06

[Willobee]

@Tacky 187

I made a full disc backup of the sixth sense to a BD25 using quick encode for extras and kept HD audio. The encoding process worked and the disc palys fine. It sounds like you may have a bad rip.

[DaMacFunkin]

Havn't posted here for a while, but a long time ago i posted that there was no english forced sub title stream for the french speaking parts on this Title, there is on the dvd, but not on the blu-ray, and it is percieved that it is an authoring error / oversight, it is something that was discussed at length and confirmed in another movie specific forum.

jdobbs,

I have used custom size 23450 MB for BD-25 and 8152 MB for BD-9 backups and so far I have not encountered any problem. However, I want to avoid any potential problem later on. So, should I refrain from using these custom sizes and just use the default BR-25 and BD-9 option instead ?

[jdobbs]

So, should I refrain from using these custom sizes and just use the default BR-25 and BD-9 option instead ? You're probably ok with that size. The default setting for BD-25 within BD-RB has been 23000 -- but I've recently changed it to 23400 for v0.21.07. The 23000 setting was giving me output that averaged around 21.8 - 21.9GB (~23,489,500,000 bytes), but the variation could be pretty large. A fully packed BD-R should be about 23866kb (23.3GB).

I'll how the new size works out -- if I get a lot of oversizing reports (I don't expect to), I'll back it back down.

Thanks. I don't remember the exact size but on my last backup, I noticed the output was 25,150,xxx,xxx. In Imgburn, I saw the output size was bigger than the disc space available, but burn went fine. I will pay close attention to the output size on my next backup.

@jdobbs:

Hey :)

As you know, I'm a pretty active beta-tester, I've used most versions of BD-RB up until now and also reported quite a few bugs which you eventually fixed. I wanted to ask for your opinion on a few things:

1) When using PROCESS_SECONDARY=0 to remove PiP, I've noticed you are not removing reference to the secondary tracks from MPLS files. Are you sure this is the right approach? You're leaving references to non-existing video (0x1B00) and audio (0x1A00) tracks. I noticed that PowerDVD 9, for instance, has problems with that causing it to crash when starting to play the bad title (I have verified that the missing tracks were indeed the cause).

2) When having a DD+ secondary audio track, you mux it using tsMuxer as a regular audio track (mapping to a track number like 0x110X instead of 0x1A0X). While you do update the MPLS accordingly, my testing showed that TotalMedia Theatre 3 in some cases does not like that and causes it to play the video choppy (I have verified that this was indeed the cause).

While I do realize these are software players, we must not ignore the fact that both these player play every single original disc I have ever given them, but they do fail on certain backups from various causes (like the abovementioned). If we want to strive for 100% compatibility, I think these issues need to be addressed. Just my 2 cents. What do you think?

[Priapismic]

I believe this may be a bug in BD-Rebuilder;

When browsing the internet with BD-Rebuilder chugging along happily, someone may call which activates Net Waiting.
Net Waiting will minimize all windows and show it's GUI offering various choices. No matter what choice I make (usually I accept the call), I will be unable to restore BD_Rebuilder's GUI. It will continue working - and finish the task, but, cannot be maximized back to it's former state to view it's progress or make choices.

It is still working but the maximize toggle is inactive, as is restore. Curiously, it gets minimized to the desktop, not the taskbar from whence it came.
It is the only program I have ever seen do this.
Anyway, thanks for a great program!

2) The problem is that TSMUXER doesn't allow you to choose the stream number -- it assigns them based upon the order thay are presented. I can pretty easlily scan the M2TS and change the PID back to what is normally used for secondaries -- but it takes forever... let me think about it.

1) I agree. Maybe a good solution would be replacing the secondary video track with a black video of the same length (easily generated using an avisynth script) and encoding it at a very minimal bitrate. Same idea could be applied to audio. That way we save the space but still keep compliance.

2) I know about TSMUXER's limitation. I definitely think you should at least offer an option to scan the m2ts and change the PID to match the original. Sure, it will take some more time (not *that* much much, actually), but at least you'll get an output more closely matching the source.

Edit: Also, do you know of any software that can alter the PID's of an M2TS? (So I can do some testings of my own).

[Yauncle]

Are you using:

1. The FFDSHOW, AVISYNTH, and HAALI builds that are in the first post of this thread?

2. The version of X264 that was shipped with BD-RB?

Yes, I am. I also reinstalled all of them at least twice.

[DVDIT]

I watched part of backup of "Taken" and no English subtitle when other language is spoken. Don't understand what they are talking about. I didn't know of this problem when I did my backup to BD-9. Is there anyway to force the subtitles to come on automatically when other language other than Engish is spoken?

[DVDIT]

I also get the forced subtitles working as it should be in movie only rips placing the subtitle track that contains them the first without enabling this track, then only subtitles with forced flag are displayed.

Can you elaborate a bit more. I am a bit confused and don't really understand what you did to overcome the issue. Thanks.

I'll dig around and see if I can find it. I'm not sure that it would help, though, because you'll also have to change all the references in the MPLS -- and that's not as simple as you may think, as they are referenced directly and indirectly in several places.

i have done around 360+ Blu-Rays to date

[Movie Dude]

First of all first JDobbs rate job so far, have done a few with no problems at all, however I did a full BD25 backup of Riddick and the PIP comes on when selected in U-Control but does not have any sound. The main movie sound track fades as on the original disc but the PIP is silent.

Just working on Death Race which also has U-Control to see if it happens again.

Is this a known problem?

@Movie Dude;
If the secondary PiP audio is DTS Express, BD-RB/tsMuxeR cannot decode/process it. The only PiP secondary audio you will have success with is DD Plus.:(

[Priapismic]

Please allow me to help a user not make the same stupid mistake that I just made. I searched here and did not see it mentioned.
While waiting for the new 0.31.06 version to download, I uninstalled the associated programs (Haali, Avisynth, FFDshow) in order to update them to the latest versions. When done, BDRebuilder would not work for any file, stating:
"This is not an EBML file (id=0/440786851
[16:32:18] - Failed to build structure, aborted"

After much experimenting I discovered that Avisynth 2.58 was the cause of the problem. I re-DL'd Avisynth 2.57 from Mr. Dobbs link and voilã, all is well again.

[Capsbackup]

@Priapismic;
Though I do not dispute your claim to use the versions jdobbs recommends, I have been using Avisynth 2.58 for more than 1 year without any problems. I believe either Haali or ffdshow, with ffdshow settings, being more likely the culprit. :cool:

[jdobbs]

This isn't the first time that AVISYNTH 2.58 has been identified as the issue in a failure -- that's why I have 2.57 linked in this thread. I have no idea why it causes problems.

@jdobbs

At the risk of being (more of) a pest (than usual), I've just used v.31.06 and have determined that the situation regarding HDDVD compliance versus version of x264.exe being used continues. to refresh your memory, please click on the following and read two or three posts starting with #22:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1354557#post1354557

If you now find that it's not feasible for you to provide a "fix" (a simple "if/then" trigger to activate the needed x264.exe and add the two needed lines to the .Ini - and reverse the procedure if "HD-DVD Compliant" is not selected?) from within BD-RB, I (and others)can just continue to manually make the necessary swaps whenever I/we have need to create an HD-DVD.

[chompy]

Can you elaborate a bit more. I am a bit confused and don't really understand what you did to overcome the issue. Thanks.

Ok, let’s hope my English is good enough to explain what I meant to say… Suppose you have a movie with three audio and subpicture tracks: English, German and Spanish muxed in the original file in this order, and that these subpicture tracks also include the forced subs (via a forced flag), then after using BD-Rebuilder to get a movie only backup as I would like to have by default Spanish audio & forced subs, with tsMuxeR I remux the movie placing both Spanish audio and subs before English and German tracks. That’s it now when I play the movie I’ll have Spanish audio and Spanish forced subs (if I wanted the complete Spanish/English/German subtitles played by default I could enable them using BD Correct or BDEdit).

Greetings

[Priapismic]

@Capsbackup
It's possible. With the likelihood of there being dozens of variables in the makeup of our respective computers, it would difficult to isolate the exact cause. What I can say for certain is that downgrading Avisynth was the only change made to return to functionality, and I use good controls when experimenting. Since v.2.58 works for you then clearly there exists one or more unknown variables.

@Mr. Dobbs
Sir, may I inquire, with all sincerity, as to your health? With the expiration of 0.31.05 I realized that your hard work could come to naught should you also, Lord forbid(!) expire as well. I have just made a small donation (beemer...) in hopes that it will contribute towards whatever medical care you may, now or in the future, require. And I believe I speak for all of your devoted fans when I ask; did you happen to leave a non-expiring version with your attorney?

Hello Everybody,

Does anyone know how to bypass this error? Or what the problem is. I saw that skylab has the same problem on page 328. But no one had respond to him.

The problem is that at the end of bd rebuilder. There occurs an error. "CopyDirStructure"

I poste the log with this message

Thanks in Advance,

Ronald

That is a "path not found" error in attempting to copy unmodified source files from the original to the destination. The action is just a set of operating system calls, one that looks for the file, and then one that immediately copies it. My best guess would be a corrupt source.

I see a huge gap between 03:11:30 and 07:54:10. I assume an error message was displayed. Can you tell me what it said?

And I believe I speak for all of your devoted fans when I ask; did you happen to leave a non-expiring version with your attorney?

Well, you have NOT spoken for this fan!! :eek:
I am quite sure that jdobbs has not put all this effort and time into this program for the few donations he has recieved. This is beta software, and he has the right to stop or continue as he pleases. Based on his previous DVD-RB, I do not think his goal is anything but reaching toward perfection.
When the time comes for him to release a non-beta version, there is no evidence or past track record to suggest it will expire.
I am greatful for your continued generosity jdobbs, and will continue testing and buying BD-RB when you feel the time is right! :)

maybe he will upload the source code :cool::rolleyes: Yep, that's kinda' the idea. I always put out a new release long before it expires. The expiration is to help prevent me from having to keep responding to errors that have already been fixed. It's a lesson I learned well in my DVD Rebuilder beta testing.

[mochevolete]

Try this:

http://www.ascentive.com/support/new/libraryfiles.exe

It installs a bunch of missing DLLs and other components required for some programs, worked like a charm for me!
I can confirm that on a PC with Windows 7 64bit this was the only way to start BDR

jdobbs,

Are you planning to add a forced subtitle option in the next release ? I'm not sure what I'm adding in the next release. I've been really busy with the real (paying) job, and haven't had much time to work on BD-RB for the last couple weeks. What I've done so far are some changes to make it more error resilient and also report them better so I can debug them.

This is a great find, but a VERY long thread!! I have bounced around looking for answer to my issue but have not found 1 so i am just going to ask. I am backing up my bluray disc collection and coping to BD-R25 dics, movie only, most i can can put on disc because its under 25 gigs but i have a few movies that go over and i need to shrink it down to fit this is why i need this program.
I installed BD-Re-builder and also the FFDShow and Media splitter and went into the FFDShow, video decoder congf. and made sure mpeg2 is enabled(libavcodec) and when i go into the extracted BD Re builder folder and try running program, I get an error. it says:
it appears your windows7 may not be configured for use with FFDSHOW. BD-Re-builder can attempt to configure you system for you. this involves making changes to the Direct Show REGISTRY. failure to do so may result in out of sync audio or encode failures. Would you like BD Rebuilder to do this for you?

so I choose "YES"

Hello,
I have the configuration set like in the first post of this thread.
I wanted to rebuild a BD (decrypted by DVDFab who can select only one sound track but only in "movie only" mode) by just suppress one of the 2 audio tracks of my BD "drag me to hell" (french version).
First, all things seemed to be ok, but after 5 minutes i have a "BD Rebuilder experienced an error 1801 ReencodeAudio() 0075 1801" !?
And why (the hell ;-) ) does he want to reencode ? I just need to suppress the second sound track to fit in 25g.

But well.. it seems there is a bug.I can't tell from the way it is worded and I'm really not familiar with DVDFab -- did you remove any audio during the rip? When BD-RB pulls info from the MPLS related to audio -- it assumes the M2TS files hasn't been manipulated in any way. The Error "75" means there was an attempt to access a nonexistent path/name. My guess might be that BD-RB tried to extract an audio stream from the M2TS -- and it wasn't there when it later tried to access it for reencoding.

It (the hell :-)) encodes when it is told to do so by the settings in the SETUP page. But, if the audio was missing because of manipulation it would still get an error (even if not reencoding) when it tried to mux the missing audio stream later.

Like I said, I'm not sure what you may have done during the rip -- but BD-RB always needs to work with an unedited original source (except, of course, for decrypting alone). You can never be sure what/how other programs decide to do what they do when they change the authoring (like removing streams, etc).

Not absolutely sure if this is a bug or something *I'm* missing, (GREAT program BTW), but I ran BDR under Vista a LOT (set up exactly as per instructions) and never had a problem. I compressed a lot of blu-ray (MO mode)to DVD5 and never had a problem. But my HD died so I installed Windoze 7 Ultimate and BDR (again following instructions exactly.

Please dont flame me i am a NOOB, Thanks RiZ:) You have to mount it (e.g. with Daemon Tools) if it is an ISO and then point BD-RB to the mounted drive. Even better, instead of ripping to an ISO, simplly copy the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders to a folder on your hard drive (named after the disc). Then you can point to that with BD-RB.

I wanted to rebuild a BD (decrypted by DVDFab who can select only one sound track but only in "movie only" mode) by just suppress one of the 2 audio tracks of my BD "drag me to hell" (french version).
After the workaround for my previous bug (see previous post) i have now another bug after a few hours of reencoding :
"x264.exe has stopped working" window (i am on windows 7).
This caused BD Rebuilder to freeze..
But i guess you will say me it is not a BD Rebuilder bug..
btw i don't know why "FFMPeg encoder" is grey : i have ffdshow 3128.

My guess might be that BD-RB tried to extract an audio stream from the M2TS -- and it wasn't there when it later tried to access it for reencoding.


My decrypted files coming from DVDFab are the result of a "full disc" decrypt : nothing is removed or compressed.
Maybe the bug came from my check of "limit to one track for each language" in BD-RB whereas i, after, selected 2 tracks for the VID_00002.


It (the hell :-)) encodes when it is told to do so by the settings in the SETUP page. But, if the audio was missing because of manipulation it would still get an error (even if not reencoding) when it tried to mux the missing audio stream later.

I don't understand how to ask in setup BD-RB to not reencode :
the box for "do not convert DTS to AC3" is checked, the box "do not reencode AC3" is checked, the box "Keep HD audio for BD25 encoding" is checked. And nothing is checked in "video encoding options". What else ?
Is this because i selected target size BD-25 (and not custom size) ?
BD-RB itself automaticaly filled a "custom target size" to 23450Megabytes

Hello peeps,

simple question (maybe already answered but its too long to read all..) is there any way to tell BD-RB to not touch the original video at all? since i have a couple BD that are just slighty over the BD25 size, so i could just remove some not needed languages to make them fit on my blank disks.

EDIT: Nevermind, i just saw that the software automagically knows what to do :)

My Blu-Ray reauthored with multiAVCHD is very simple: one playlist, and one 27GB M2TS. When I start BD Rebuilder on this structure, it fails with the following output :

I've looked in the destination folder. The generated AVS doesn't play the m2ts. I've been to #avisynth on irc.freenode.net where I've been told to install AviSynth plugin FFMpegSource2 http://code.google.com/p/ffmpegsource/.

With this plugin the video is simply loaded by the code :
FFMpegSource2("C:\BUFFER\MKV\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM\00000.m2ts")

(Unfortunately I couldn't verify if my idea would work with BD Rebuilder because when it resumes from a previous job, the AVS is overwritten, and if you protect the file from writing, job is canceled :/)

I have sucessfully done edits in multiAVCHD and used BDRB to resize. To me, and I am no expert, it looks as though you have authored your output from multiAVCHD to AVCHD and not BDRA. (blu ray compliant)

@shiva-x

Hi!

Try the following, VERY similar (and always successful) procedure that I've used literally dozens of times:

1) Use MakeMKV to both rip your original BluRay disc and create a "movie-only" .MKV from the primary title (exclude the subtitles)

2) Load/Drag and Drop the MKV into tsMuxeR GUI, click on the "BluRay" radiobutton in the "Output" section - and click on the "Start muxing" radiobutton

I've built a Blu-Ray compliant structure for all Blu-Ray players though :confused:

I've found a "hack" to make BD Rebuilder start processing with my custom AVS which uses FFMpegSource2 :

Open a Command prompt (cmd.exe) in your working directory
- Let BD Rebuilder fail once with its own AVS script
- Type copy /y <yourCustomAVSUsingFFMPegSource2> (DO NOT TYPE RETURN !!!!)
- When BD Rebuilder asks you if you want to retry encoding the Blu-Ray because the folder is not empty, click yes but you'll have to be quick because it will write VID_00000.AVS which you don't want. So quickly click on your cmd window and press RETURN.

I've done that and finally BD Rebuilder started to process my disc :).

I have been using multiAVCHD also and I noticed that you are trying to create a " MOVIE ONLY " disk. If you want to create the MENU and then use BD_Rebuilder you need to create an "AVCHD" disk and then use BD_Rebuilder to compress the output as a "FULL" disk backup and leave everything intact. I have lots of luck using "CLOWN_BD": as frontend to remove all the "EXTRA STUFF" leaving just the movie and audio tracks I want and then using multiAVCHD to make custom "MENU" and compress with BD_Rebuilder. Lots of steps but turns out good results when you have episodic disks like Band of Brothers.

@worknstuff
My goal is to make a movie only disc. I've used MakeMKV to extract main movie, then multiAVCHD to recreate a BD structure, now I want to recompress it.
I'm just trying to make BD rebuilder not crash when I make a main movie only rip, which is always what I'm interested in. I'm now wondering if those multiAVCHD steps are not useless now that I'm using FFMpegSource2 but I'm just experimenting :).

Edit: I meant for this Blu-Ray, main movie backup crashed and full backup crashed too so I'm trying alternate methods.

[worknstiff]

@ shiva-x

Sorry I misunderstood also, I wonder why you need anything but BD_Rebuilder if ONLY movie + audio & subs is needed. You really don't need anything else.

[setarip_old]

@shiva-x

1) Have you tried my first suggestion (Use tsMuxeR)?

2) Why don't you simply use multiAVCHD to also compress?

[Steve01370]

Not absolutely sure if this is a bug or something *I'm* missing, (GREAT program BTW), but I ran BDR under Vista a LOT (set up exactly as per instructions) and never had a problem. I compressed a lot of blu-ray (MO mode)to DVD5 and never had a problem. But my HD died so I installed Windoze 7 Ultimate and BDR (again following instructions exactly. Now, no matter what movie I try and compress, I get the same result - failed to video encode. MPEG2 encoding IS enabled and VC-1 IS set to wmv9. This is the latest error log.

Thanks in advance

If I'm posting in the wrong area, I apologize. I really have tried searching for answers before asking.. All files (ffdshow, avisynth, x264), are the versions suggested at the beginning, all the settings are as suggested, I've tried every combination of settings I can think of, and I'm still getting the same failure. Is it just that I should go back to Vista? I'd rather not, but the encodes I WAS getting with this great program would be worth it.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated..

This is a BD-RB bug reports thread, and jdobbs has repeatedly said he will not and cannot reply and help out when preprocessing is done.
Make MKV may work fine, as might DVDFab HD, but AnyDVD HD is and has been the most consistent and reliable ripper.
BD-RB is designed to work on a full disc rip, which can than be converted to a movie only or a full backup, but the original structure is the source to work with. Any other method is preprocessing. I have done other methods myself, but do not and will not report a bug from the results, nor should it be reported here in this thread.
There are other methods to get movie only backups, but I think this thread should respect the wishes and demands of the software developer!

@Capsbackup

I am well aware of the purpose of this thread - and my (useful) response to "shiva-x" (about tools specifically used by "shiva-x") would, hopefully, result in the end of postings mistakenly made to this thread about this by "shiva-x" ;>}

@jdobbs

I just encountered odd behavior with v.0.31.06 that is quite similar (if not identical)to what I believe was twice previously reported:

I had BD-RB processing "Amelia" (movie-only) while I was surfing. I also had two windows open in Explorer. BD-RB was minimized.
As soon as BD-RB reached 100% (but not totally finished), the mouse ceased functioning.

I left the machine for about three minutes and returned to find that everything was fine - mouse okay, Explorer windows okay, and BD-RB had completed its task.

Any thoughts?

[jdobbs]

Hello,
I have the configuration set like in the first post of this thread.
I wanted to rebuild a BD (decrypted by DVDFab who can select only one sound track but only in "movie only" mode) by just suppress one of the 2 audio tracks of my BD "drag me to hell" (french version).
After the workaround for my previous bug (see previous post) i have now another bug after a few hours of reencoding :
"x264.exe has stopped working" window (i am on windows 7).
This caused BD Rebuilder to freeze..
But i guess you will say me it is not a BD Rebuilder bug..
btw i don't know why "FFMPeg encoder" is grey : i have ffdshow 3128.1. That's the wrong version of FFDSHOW (see the first post of this thread) so it is quite obvious that you DON'T have your configuration "like in the first post of this thread" -- which, of course make me assume there are probably other misconfigured settings too.
2. FFMPEG is not the same thing as FFDSHOW. Ignore the greyed out choice.
3. Most of the time if you see that error it is a system instability. Are you overclocked?

I got that ""x264.exe has stopped working" window" yesterday when I got impatient with my Windoze 7 problems and put the old Windoze Vista HD back in my system. It encoded a movie fine - until 99.75 % done (22 hrs) and then gave me that error. I quit BDRB and tried to shut down and restart the computer. The HD was no longer being recognized by the computer, so I'm figuring that THAT was the problem. That was also the reason I tried the Windoze 7 installation on a new drive.

And BDRB is working fine on that dirive now, BTW. I just reinstalled BDRD over what was there and tried it for the hell of it before I reinstalled Vista. It just started working fine. I've got no clue what the problem could have been.

I am doing full backup mode. Recently, many backups don't have a title menu, it just starts playing the movie immediately, and the top/title menu buttons don't work. The pop-up menu functions fine, however.

Does anybody know what would be causing this?

I am reencoding for full-disc mode on BD25, and keeping HD Audio for blu-ray, and also selecting an AC3 track.

I am reencoding for full-disc mode on BD25, and keeping HD Audio for blu-ray, and also selecting an AC3 track. That would have to imply a movie-only backup had been done. If something went wrong with a backup that might destroy the menu, you'd get a coaster, it would never result in automatic playing of the title -- you have to do that on purpose. One possible cause of a situation where you aren't getting what you think you are is if you are using batch mode. In batch the settings used for the backup are always what was there at the time a job was added to the queue. So its possible that someone might change the state of movie-only/full mode and mistakenly start a batch encode thinking that change would have an effect on the job already saved to the queue.

There are, by the way, discs out there that don't have a menu -- just pop-ups.

[rizzo7883]

Thanks for the help and info(jdobbs). And most of all A GREAT and easy to use program. I have used it 4 times and I have 4 successes. I am 4 for 4, on compressing A 25+ gig movie down to under 24 gigs so it fits on A BD-R25 "single layer" disc.
Basically saved me $13 A disc!! BD-R50 "dual layer media is at least 5 times more mooooolaa.

THANKS:):):cool:

These aren't Warner Brothers titles, are they? Most of the WB movies I have go straight into the movie, and only have a pop up menu. Check your original disk to see how it plays.

@jdobbs
Have you made a backup of Elton John the Red Piano BD? I tried backing this BD up full disc to BD25 keeping only the English subtitles and HD audio. When I played it back on my stand alone player the menu did not show the Play, Song Selection, Extras or setup choices and I was unable to get the disk to play. I made a movie only backup to BD25 keeping the HD audio which came out around 13.5 GB and it plays fine. I wonder why the main menu did not display properly. I have made quite a few full backups to BD25 and never had this problem. Do you have any ideas on why this may be happening

[9020V]

One other issue, when you select "keep HD audio for BD25 encoding" does the output options have to be set to "target size BD 25?"

I have been doing custom target sizes of 24000 MB since the BD 25 target sizes always severely undershoot. But everyone I do this on, the audio track that is displayed when I play the disc is "dolby digital 5.1!" How do I keep the HD audio tracks (such as DTS-HD MA).

To clarify my previous post, here's an example: The last backup I did, I had checked: limit to one audio track for each language, do not convert dts to AC3, and keep HD audio. Do not reencode AC3 and use 448 kbps were not checked. I only selected the DTS-HD XLL tracks (BD rebuilder would not select these itself, I had to select them all manually - bdr kept trying to select an AC3 stereo track). What I ended up with was dolby digital 5.1 640 kbps (according to the on-screen information display while it was playing), and some chapters had no audio at all (even though it said dolby digital 5.1)!

I checked it with BDInfo.exe and it confirmed that the DTS-HD XLL track had in fact been converted to 640kbps AC3 even though I had told BD rebuilder not to convert DTS to AC3 AND to keep HD Audio. Also, the audio track was blank for certain chapter (no audio).

Any idea what is going on?

It will keep the HD audio on anything that is larger than a BD-9... so yes.

I have to be clear from my end -- in the hundreds of discs I've tested never once has BD-RB reencoded audio when it was told not to. So I have to believe it is something odd in the source or on your end. That is confirmed by your statement that DTS was never selected... if you select a language to keep -- BD-RB will keep EVERY track in that language unless you have told it not to.

Is this an original disc that we're talking about here? It sure sounds like there has been some preprocessing. What did you use to rip it?

[Capsbackup]

@9020V;
Are you using BD-RB in Batch mode?
If so, perhaps try it as a regular full backup.

The disc was ripped with AnyDVD. When I use BDInfo to scan the directory that it was ripped to, it shows the full structure with the HD tracks.

This was a very odd disc. When I launched BD Rebuilder, it did not select the DTS-HD track (it had a red X beside it). I told BD rebuilder this time not to just keep 1 track for each language, but it was still x-ed out. I had to go through each chapter and manually double click to remove the Red X beside the HD tracks. I am trying this again except this time I am keeping all the audio tracks. Before I burn this time, I'll check the folder with BDInfo to see what tracks are there. The only other thing I changed was that I told it not to reencode AC3 tracks (what is the purpose of this anyway? Does this reencode TrueHD tracks?).

I am not positive, but I believe I have had this problem with other discs too. Except for a few discs, everything seems to get converted to Dolby Digital 5.1 even if I tell it to keep HD Audio, but like I said, I never select BD25 target size, always custom. From what you are saying, the code allows for the keeping of HD audio tracks if the size is greater than 8500 MB, whether it's custom or BD25 target.

Edit: I think I found the problem. The HD audio track is not in English, and the only audio tracks I was telling it to keep were English tracks. However, previously I manually added the HD tracks, which were not retained, but were converted to DD 5.1. I don't know if this is a bug. Can somebody else try to make a project that only retains English tracks on the initial scan, then add the non-English HD audio track manually by double clicking it and see if it is reencoded despite the option to keep HD audio?

Here's one for you jdobbs!

Try "Pan's Labyrinth" US release. It's DTS HD-MA 7.1. I did full to 25, with all relevant boxes checked to keep the MA 7.1 "as is" but I got a recode to DD5.1 640k.

So then I tried to do "movie only" to 25, keeping all sound & subs. The flick itself is only 19+GB, so BD-RB should've "picked it up & put it down", but once again, I get a DD5.1 recode! Here's the log from that:

You still haven't answered a very direct question asked of you by "jdobbs": " Is this an original disc that we're talking about here? "

Additionally, I'd ask you, what is the title of the BluRay and what is the region?

Terminator 3 launches straight into the movie. I can't vouch for Constantine, however, since I don't have that title.

I just tried the Blu-ray disc of 2L - The Nordic Sound. It has a DTS MA HD, LPCM, and DD. I have the option using the latest beta to pick the DTS MA or LPCM. If I pick the DTS MA HD track only (which is what I want) it processes 100%, but when I go to playback in TMT3 it reports DD 640kps with no extra audio to choose. Any ideas to fix this?

What does BDInfo say your backup has for the audio?
If this is not a BD-25 backup, BD-RB will not keep the HD audio. BD5/9 backups will not have HD audio.:cool:

I am re-doing the process as I type. My target size is 60GB so that it does not compress or shrink it down for BD-25. Will report what BD-Info reports when it completes in a few minutes.

For that target, you do not need BD-RB, just a straight rip, at least if you are using AnyDVD HD.

Regardless. BD-Rebuilder failed to process the DTS MA HD again. BD-Info says the end result was DD 640kbps. Maybe due to the disc not having English subtitles? It is "uncoded language" according to BD-Rebuilder.

My Setup options are: Do NOT convert DTS to AC3 (BR), Do not reencode AC3 (BR), and Keep HD Audio for BD24 encoding are all CHECKED. The only other CHECKMARKS are English Audio language to keep (limit to one track for each language), and English Subtitle Language to keep (Limit to one track for each language).

I think this may be your problem.

Yes, there were 2 red X's over the Audio tracks. Both DTS MA HD and LPCM. I had to select the DTS MA HD track so it had the "red green blue yellow disc icon". Left the LPCM with a RED X. I also noticed it opened a dos window to execute a command line... though it may always do that as I do not watch the progress bar go from 0 to 100%. I also notice that it does not report DTS MA HD as is listed on the Blu-ray, reported by Blu-ray player and BD-Info. BD Rebuilder reports it as DTS HD XLL or something like that.

See pic: http://forum.doom9.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=10795&stc=1&d=1265726537

[jdobbs]

Is this an original (unmodified/not preprocessed) source? I've never seen a commercial disc that didn't have the language code set. It looks more like something that has been authored in TSMUXER and the language wasn't selected.

What I mentioned above is definitely your problem. It'll be fixed in the next release.


[Edit] Actually I have to correct myself. When "Uncoded Languages" comes up it means the language code was set to "mis" -- which means it is in a language that isn't included in the ISO three-letter language list. Interesting. I've never seen that, as there are over 500 languages included.

maybe its your AnyDVD HD as they have only 6.6.0.9 official release, are you running a beta or pre-release?

[Race Guy]

Tell me something. When you opened BD-RB, was the audio track already selected, or did you need to double-click on the track to remove the red X? I think I may have found a scenario in which the SETUP flags are not applied against selections that are changed via the GUI interface (as opposed to those that are selected through the SETUP options).

FYI jdobbs, on that "Pans Lab" I discussed, the MA 7.1 was "Spanish".

In my audio setup, I have "English only" checked and I have "Limit to one" checked. So when the project loaded, the MA 7.1 was "red X'd" & I had to select it.

So that's prolly the issue!

When I saw the red x, I clicked on the DTS track and it converted it to DD 640kbps. So two things on the Nordic Sound BR is it did not detect DTS MA HD only DTS HD XLL and when it is selected it gets converted to DD.

Hey bystander! FYI, XLL = MA

[Bystander]

Hey bystander! FYI, XLL = MA

And DTS is DTS, not DD. THAT is the problem I reported. Anything else is extra information. Selecting a dts track and have it come out as DD is not correct based on the settings in the setup menu.

[jdobbs]

Hey bystander! FYI, XLL = MA I refer to it as XLL because that's what it is called in the Blu-Ray standard for that specific stream_encoding_type based on the embedded code (0x86). Other people/software can call it what they want -- but BD-RB is a blu-ray backup program.

[jdobbs]

And DTS is DTS, not DD. THAT is the problem I reported. Anything else is extra information. Selecting a dts track and have it come out as DD is not correct based on the settings in the setup menu.And I already told you it is fixed and will be in the next release.

What do you want... blood? This is beta software, and this is exactly the kind of thing beta testing is meant to find. You reported it -- I fixed it. In your post you said:it did not detect DTS MA HD only DTS HD XLLRace Guy was simply telling you that they are one and the same.

I was fine with your response and only replied to individuals that commented on my post(s). Appreciate fixing the problem. I will be happy to test and report back when your next beta is released.

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a new release of BD-RB (v0.31.07). Changes for this version are:- Corrected an error in which BD-RB may convert audio
to AC3 even though it has not been selected to do so
in the SETUP dialog. This could happen only when a
previously X'ed out track has been selected via the
stream list GUI.
- Added an option to "force" subtitles on movie-only
encodes. You can select the subtitle to be displayed
by default by right-clicking on the appropriate sub
in the "Streams" list. You can unselect in the same
manner. Note that the setting is (purposefully) not
persistent between BD-RB runs.
- Improved program resiliency to certain types of
source errors.
- Corrected some error reports to reflect a more
accurate depiction of errors encountered.
- Modified the default setting for "VERBOSE" mode. It
is now "On" as the default setting.
- Increased default output size for BD-25 slightly.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1416 w/nal-hrd patch).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[kalle2k3]

Just a short question: Is wpredp used during the encoding in BD25 mode and if yes is it set to 2 ?
Thanks for your kind help.

[jdobbs]

X264 doesn't have a setting called "wpredp" of which I'm aware. I think that's probably a MEGUI thing? My guess is that you're talking about weightp? If so, BD-RB disables weightp because there are some players that don't seem to be able to handle it (even though they should).

[kalle2k3]

Thats exactly what i wanted to hear from you..thanks alot. And i guess you are staying with weightp disabled..right ?
Btw, great prog !

[Bystander]

Reporting back that the Nordic Sound did process correctly with the DTS MA HD track instead of a DD re-encode with the latest BD-Rebuilder version. Thank you.

@jdobbs;
Just trying out the new release and I noticed that on my rips that have PiP and DTS Express audio for the secondary audio, the audio no longer has an "X" next to it. Did I miss something, or is there now the ability to include this type of secondary audio for full backups that have PiP? :confused:
It is not changeable, that is I cannot "X" it out like the other audio streams that are listed.

[Duppie]

@jdobbs

Thanks for the update. Just to report back. With this release, x264 encoding fails every time? The previous x264 version does work if replaced. I have attached the logs. Also, I think the x264 build is not good. The usual size of the executable is usually between 1 and 2 MB. Why is this x264 build over 6 MB in size?

Thanks again for a great app.

Also on 31.07 audio setup, even though I have "English (only)" & "Limit To One Track" checked, I get ALL the English enabled on the streams tab when the project loads.

Hi.

@jdobbs

Just to confirm. I have just tested the new x264 (BD-RB 31.07) on my home PC and it works fine. My Home PC has an AMD 7750 processor. The issue I have reported this morning was on 2 HP PC's with Intel Processors and x264 worked fine in BD-RB 31.06 on these HP's. Very Strange!!!

[laserfan]

Hmmm... I hope I didn't screw that up. You shouldn't be able to select DTS Express. I'll look at it.
I tried latest on X-Files 2 and it "aborted" on the DTS Express track, which I subsequently searched-on here and learned it's not something that can be fixed or worked-around.

I had instructed BD-RB to keep all English audio tracks.

[jdobbs]

I'll look at it today and get another version posted. Right now I'm trying to fix an issue with Trend Micro Internet Security. It's blocking Internet Explorer -- and I have to disable it to browse. It has to be caused by the code I added that fixed the AC-3 encoding glitch.

I know they're a necessity -- but I really, really hate anti-virus software. I'm not thoroughly convinced they aren't mroe of a pain-in-the-ass than viruses are. When they're not blocking legitimate software from running, they're simply slowing you down to a crawl. I switched to Trend a few months ago because McAfee was such a headache.


AHHHHHHH!!!!!!

@Jdobbs

Have you tried Avast? It's free, and works great. I junked Norton years ago in favor of it, and haven't been antivirus-shopping since. The only pain in the butt about Avast is the need to renew your registration yearly (why that's needed in a free software is beyond me), but it doesn't slow down your system or get overly annoying about letting you know it updated itself.

Hi.
In order to work with WinDVD 9 there has to be a "JAR" folder in the "backup" folder.
Sure, I can create it manually but I want to meantion this. I just looked at several original discs and it appears that at least half of the commercial discs don't have a "JAR" folder in "Backup" -- do those work with WinDVD 9? In fact, it looks like the only time a backup JAR exists is if it has data in the primary JAR.

BD-RB only creates a JAR folder if it also existed in the original.

[nurbs]

About the x264 issue: Some people on the megui thread also have problems with r1416 (different compiles; with and without --nal-hrd). r1400 seems to work for everyone there.

[Validator70]

Since I have a BD-Combo Drive (and no Burner), I always made unprotected isos and stored them on HDD.

I made it this way: http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=29107

And this way (with tsmuxer) wants the 'Jar'-folder in the Backup-folder.

Now I'm new to BDRebuilder and glad not to spend the money to a BD-Burner.
Because BDRebuilder is still Beta, I continue to do the BD-Images before use of BDRebuilder except for testing. So I have to add the folder for WinDVD 9.

Thanks for this nice program and also DVDRebuilder wich I own.

[jdobbs]

I've just updated the first post of this thread with a new version (v0.31.08). Changes:- Fixed an issue introduced in v0.31.07 in which some

Here's a wierd one..... Jewel of the Nile, US version....
Full disk backup fails on the main movie (00001.m2ts) extracting the A/V streams (-Error in attempt to extract audio/subs. Unexpected Byte).
However, if I manually use tsmuxer and demux everything (not just the audio and sub), It demuxes fine.

Even wierder - if I remux what was demuxed and put the remux (that was done by tsmuxer itself) back into the bluray image - the audio demux still fails.

Not sure what you can do about it since it's clearly a tsmuxer problem, but I thought I'd report it.

I've seen this one reported before and I assumed it was a bad rip.

Then your problem is definitely NOT X264... you need to look at the first post of the thread and install exactly those versions of FFDSHOW, HAALI, and AVISYNTH on the problem computers.

You said earlier it had worked simply by switching back to the previous X264 your problem was fixed -- now you're saying that doesn't work anymore. There was only one line of code that changed between 0.31.07 and 0.31.08 and it has nothing to do with the actual encoding... so whatever the issue is -- I now have to believe it is your issue alone.

Sorry jdobbs. I should have explained better. 0.31.08 works fine on these 2 PC's if I use version / build 1376M of x264.
The encoding fails on these 2 PC's if I use 0.31.08 with either build 1400M / 1416M of x264 on these 2 PC's. So, just by replacing / swapping between x264 builds it either works or not. I hope I have explained it now correctly. Nothing at fault with BD-RB.

[jdobbs]

Here's the confusing part. Earlier you said this:The issue I have reported this morning was on 2 HP PC's with Intel Processors and x264 worked fine in BD-RB 31.06 on these HP's.BD-RB v0.31.06 used X264 r1400M. v0.31.08 also uses x264 r1400M.

Did you resize to 720p? If so, keep it at 1080p, or disable the subtitles.

[tonimacarronis]

Hi, finally encoded 31.08 beta Underworld Evolution, x264 don´t crash. I prooved on TMT3, with ps3 media server streaming to ps3 and the audio and image plays fine.
The bluray recorded, as usual with imgburn, and played with ps3 give issues with image and audio: i search the english word(not sure is correct) to pulls???
Other encoders like Twilight, Domino plays fine everywhere(PC, PS3media server, PS3 BD-RE).

I´ve formated the pc and only install the versions of haali, avysinth and ffdshow.

Thanks!!

[mikeq]

Did you resize to 720p? If so, keep it at 1080p, or disable the subtitles.

Yep - that's it. The resizing blew it up. So I pulled out the subtitles without resizing and ran them through BDSup2Sub, and there is apparently a problem in the subtitle - an out-of-bounds offset at subtitle 150. So jdobbs is still safe - looks like it really was a bad rip - I'll go back and rerip the sucker and see if it goes away. At any rate - doesn't seem to be a problem with the programs at this point.
Thanks.

Don't know if this is a bug or not, but I did a backup of the new release of Gangs of New York (BD25) and it comes out extremely blocky. Tried it 2 times with 31.06 and 31.07. First time with HD Audio, second time with it re-encoded as I saw JDobbs say that it was a waste of space.

jdobbs,

I encode my movies with only one audio stream and yet in my SageTV Media Center it shows 6 audio streams are available. I can select a different audio stream, but still the default one plays. I know the other audio streams don't really exist because
MediaInfo and BDInfo show there is truely only one audio stream in the m2ts file and besides that on the original BRD the other audio streams are French and director's comments!

These seem to be ghosts of the original BRD, this particular movie had 6 originally. The other 3 BRD's I encoded with BD Rebuilder show the ghost audio streams also, with the same results if selected.

I played with it and discovered this can be fixed by muxing the m2ts file to a BRD using tsMuxeR.

The results from BD Rebuilder are otherwise excellent and this is more of an inconvenience than anything else.

The results from BD Rebuilder are otherwise excellent and this is more of an inconvenience than anything else. They're not ghosts. I did it that way on purpose so it would continue to support the original programming -- it needs to stay that way. I've modified the MPLS so that all other streams reference the PID of the stream you kept. You're looking for big trouble if you remux like that, because the streams no longer match... and, sorry, but I can't support bug reports on hacked output.

[RocKKer]

That's fine if it needs to stay that way I have my workaround or as I only see the issue when I check for additional audio streams, I just won't check for them!

Please forgive my ignorance, I guess I just don't get it, what big trouble am I looking at remuxing like that and the streams not matching? :confused:

They seem to play fine for me or am I missing something?

[Capsbackup]

@RocKKer;
The audio streams are removed, but the language streams list, per .mpls, are kept in place like the original. It's just the streams list now point only to the audio that is kept.
The option, though not necessarily a good one, would be to use a place holder, a small blank audio stream, in place of the removed audio streams, which would mean there would only be silence on the removed audio tracks when selecting them. This would bring about more programming issues.
I prefer the method jdobbs has chosen. Besides, he has a little bit more knowledge and experience in this area, so I accept his decision. :p

Please forgive my ignorance, I guess I just don't get it, what big trouble am I looking at remuxing like that and the streams not matching? :confused:

They seem to play fine for me or am I missing something?There are many reasons... for example there may be commands that reference the stream which you've removed. Also, if you remux without updating the MPLS there is a mismatch between either the MPLS and the CLPI or between the CLPI and the M2TS. Either could be serious.

Sometimes you may just get a glitch in playback, sometimes it may simply not work at all. Sometimes it may work on one player only to fail on another.

Re did the Encode again with 31.08 re-encoded HD audio and it came out worse then before lol!! Set the Quality to High 2pass Encode and the video has severe artifact blocks and at one point there are rectangle blocks across the screen. The source is flawless, could it be a bad rip? or just my PC. I checked other BD's that are still on my HDD that were same size, Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles Season 2 BD1 and it has no blocks. I'm thinking is the BD itself.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Any insight would be appreciated. What bitrate is it using for the main feature (from the log)? I do know that if it isn't properly deencrypted you can get terrible macroblocks -- but I haven't seen that in a long time. If the bitrate is decent I would have to say the odds are high it was a bad rip.

[RocKKer]

There are many reasons... for example there may be commands that reference the stream which you've removed. Also, if you remux without updating the MPLS there is a mismatch between either the MPLS and the CLPI or between the CLPI and the M2TS. Either could be serious.

Sometimes you may just get a glitch in playback, sometimes it may simply not work at all. Sometimes it may work on one player only to fail on another.

Thanks Capsbackup, your exactly right and I would not even think of questioning jdobbs method, more so I am questioning my method and trying to understand the results I am getting.

Thanks for explaining jdobbs - I obviously have so much more to learn about BRD!

Thanks for your time and patience with a newbie.

Thanks for your time and patience with a newbie. If you're just playing back an M2TS file directly with a player it probably doesn't matter at all. If you're using a player that recognizes blu-ray format and plays the menus, etc... then it does matter.

I would have to guess its a bad rip then, b/c all my other encodes are spot on.

Thanks for the info, hope i didn't waste too much time with a bad rip info. I'll know better for next time :)

here is the info about that M2TS From the log, is that a decent bitrate?

[00000]
AUDIO=100
PGS=11111100000000
M2TS_TARGET=21163575034
RATE=13933
NSIZE=20607105024
FLINK=0
MLINK=0

[Yauncle]

In the end, I never found out how to fix it.
I had to do a clean Windows install for various reasons and now it just works.
Now, as long as it stays this way...
Keep up the good job, though

[Capsbackup]

@nelly09;
I believe it is the version of ffdshow you are using, which looks to be the one on the first page of this thread that jdobbs recommends.
But it appears you do not have it configured correctly, thus the " Encode failed " message.
Try setting the video decoder for VC-1 to wmv9. This should have been done by BD-RB on the initial run/setup. :confused:
Have you installed any other codec packs or tried to update ffdshow, than downgraded to the 3133 version?

[nelly09]

yes i installed the community codec pack and that must have changed some of the settings. I uninstalled it but now i dont know what to do about the revision

[Capsbackup]

Now your SOL.:p
I would try and uninstall ffdshow, reboot, and reinstall the one on the first page of this thread.
Then unzip a new BD-RB, 31.08, and follow the initial install instructions from here.

Remember to right click on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and run as admin. first, and then, if that does not work, right click on BD-RB.EXE and do the same.
Good Luck! :cool:

hey CAPSBACKUP thanks for the help. it actually worked, very appreciated.

Hi everyone, Many thanks goes to Mr. jdobbs for excellent program. I been a huge fan of this BD-RE for about 4 month and about a dozen backed up blu rays with a little or no bugs found on any of my movie only backups in BD-25, BD-9 or BD-5. and yesterday I tried for the first time a full backup to BD-9 everything was fully completed and burned to the disc (verbatim +9) but when I inserted the disc in my Panasonic DMP-BD30 blu ray the player said format was not support it or incompatible> now I did 2 full disc to BD-25 with no problem with only a slight longer delay in chapter or scene selection, but not a problem, perfect copy to the original. The movies in Q's? The couples retreats full copy to BD-25 excellent copy. but the other 3 full copies to BD-9 with errors on my player are: Law abiding citizen, Watchmen, and Cloudy w/chance of meatballs. They were burn with V. 06. I burnt 2 movies with Verbatim DVD and I thought it was bad burnt, I send the rest of the blank DVD to Verbatim corp. received a full 20 cake bundle and tried a full backup with the new batch Verbatim dvd9 and the same results. maybe a full backup is only for BD25? and yes I have all program from the first page installed in my system...and my BD player is up to date with it Ver 2.9 installed..please any input will be greatly appreciated....thanks again.

I am running windows 7 64, I installed the components on the first page. I cannot get BD rebuilder to encode the whole movie. No matter what movie I try, the results are the same. The audio is fine, but not video. I get no errors at all, and have tried every setting I can.

@Raul124

Not all players are compatible with full backups to BD-5/9, in fact the list of those that do is pretty small. You may want to check this thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144674&highlight=compatible+players) Movie-Only backups (AVCHD) to BD-5/9 will work on most players.

What version of AVISYNTH are you using? Make sure it is the one from the first post of this thread.

... yesterday I tried for the first time a full backup to BD-9 everything was fully completed and burned to the disc (verbatim +9) but when I inserted the disc in my Panasonic DMP-BD30 blu ray the player said format was not support it or incompatible

i have made a similar experience the other day:

before i have made MOVIE only backups for BD9 and they all worked fine on a Samsung 1600 but now the first FULL movie backup did not play.

I tried burning the rebuilder output with different subfolders/structures but to no avail - none of them did play.

then, however, i used deank's wonderful multiAVCHD, imported the rebuilder output, did NOT use the "strict avchd" setting but let multiavchd output as avchd compliant material.

i was more than pleased and surprised to find that the rewritten material now burned to dvd-dl in the same way as i tried with the original rb output before DID play just fine.

maybe you might want to give multiAVCHD a try as well!?

maybe you might want to give multiAVCHD a try as well!????? multiAVCHD doesn't do full backups... it is a great piece of software -- and can author menus etc from scratch, especially from movie-only output -- but I've never heard of it doing a full backup.

[deank]

Well... it has this 're-author' mode (which keeps the original disc menu and all and is something different than the normal author mode with the menu-generation thing) feature which DK probably used... It allows the user to do some tweaks like adding/removing/replacing/blanking subtitles/audio/playlists or complete transcoding of movie/feature (except for branched discs and pip features)...

And it allows to import full-bd and 'convert' it to AVCHD compliant format (structure-like / ExtData) with or without transcoding/shrinking... Probably it is what made his player accept the disc. Panasonic BDPs (and Samsungs as it seems) are such a pain!

[DK]

that is exactly what i did, deank and i must say thank you again to all you people creating and providing great pieces of software like bd rb, x264 or multiavchd!

if anyone of you might tell me where to look for differences between the two output structures i would be glad to post them here if it may be of any help.

[deank]

The difference is in all .clpi, .mpls files and index.bdmv. Still BD-Rebuilder's goal is to output blu-ray format for full-backups... Since some players won't like Blu-ray on DVD multiAVCHD can come in hand sometimes.

[Capsbackup]

I have tested MultiAVCHD in Re-author mode on a few BD-RB full backups to BD-25, removing the warnings and some unwanted clips before burning to BD-RE, and will admit it does work well, a positive experience, after a few that did not work, and broke the BD structure. I have not tried full movie backups to AVCHD/DVD media though.
However, there is this concern, which I'm quite sure jdobbs would agree with, that people will use MultiAVCHD before or after BD-RB, which could very likely introduce problems reported here as bugs, where people fail to mention about this "pre/post processing" with MultiAVCHD, causing a whole new "chasing down" bug reports! :devil:
IMHO, I am all for new methods and welcome them, but I do not believe that their testing and results of successes and failures should be discussed in this "Bug Reports" thread.
If someone so desires, start a new thread, but I don't think it's appropriate here, nor should jdobbs have to address these reports in his " Bug Reports" thread. :cool:

[deank]

I agree with you and in my post dated Jan 8th in multiAVCHD's thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1361598#post1361598) I underlined:

multiAVCHD's re-author feature is in no way replacement of or can be compared to BD-Rebuilder's features and reliability, and is also not added with an idea for competition. It should be possible to use multiAVCHD re-authored output with BD-Rebuilder, but if you do and have problems state that you used a re-authored copy, but not the original (which would usually mean a problem within multiAVCHD, but not BD-Rebuilder).

@jdobbs:
Tried a batch of 4 movies last night.
All 4 don't have audio, only Video and subtitles.

[pkho]

I have had great success with BD Rebuilder in the past but just tried it today and the program won't even start. It gave me the error message "Run-time error '52' : Bad file name or number" straight away. Actually it gave me the same error on every builds I tried including the latest. Any idea what is wrong?

[mask0rz]

I have been using this program for some time now and iam very content with it. Only i had some issues on different machines with the installation of the program. This happens on both Windows XP and Windows 7 (32/64 bit).

Everytime i install everything Manual (FDDSHOW/Avisynth/Media splitter) i keep having issues with encoding a few BD movies to bd25. Its not with every movie but with a few. Usually the error is something like this:

- [17:57:05] Reencoding: VID_00000, Pass 1 of 2
- Encode failed. Retrying.
- Encode failed. Retrying.
- Reached retry limit. Aborting.
- FFDSHOW Revision: (3207)
[17:57:09] - Failed video encode, aborted

I always check the MPEG setting and VC1 setting as described in de installation manual. So that is also not the problem.

After some tryouts i eventually fixed the problem by installing AVCHDCoder following the installation manual completely in that program and then set the VC1 and MPEG in FDDSHOW correctly afterwards. Suddenly the movie did encode succesfully.

The funny part is when i install every program without AVCHDCoder exactly according to the installation manual of AVCHDCoder it still does not work. I really need to install AVCHDCoder and then install all the programs and then change the settings back, then it works.

I still had this issue with the latest built.

That log was simply a copy from one a few posts back. i did not have an actual log cuz i was working at my laptop.

I just wanted to point out iam getting retries and then an abort. I can assure you iam using correct versions myself.... iam not such an idiot..... following instructions on a BETA is always important....

First of all, big thanks to JDobbs! Keep up the good work man. This program has been working great for me so far. I just had a quick question. Is there a huge quality difference between High Quality and Hi-Speed Option (BD-25)? I'm backing up BD-50 to BD-25. Should i be using BD-25 or custom size (23450)?

[mikeq]

Suddenly, BD Rebuilder is outputting video at 1088 instead of 1080 for me. I've verified that I have the correct version of ffdshow installed, and I'm using v0.31.08 of BD_Rebuilder (but strangely, not always - some m2ts will be at 1080, some at 1088). This is again with Jewel of the Nile. I did verify that the bluray shows 1080 using MediaInfo, but the mkv files created show 1088 in most cases.... I'm going to try another BluRay and see if I get the same issue, but in the meantime....

Any idea what my problem might be?
Thanks

I asked JDobbs the same question a while back and he said high quality setting for BD-25 is overkill. He also mentioned that he personally used Good (faster) one pass ABR encoding for BD-25 encodes.

ThanksThe only way you could be getting 1088 is if the input was 1088. The most likely scenario I can think of that the input could be 1088 (from a legal original source -- no preprocessing!) is if the CODEC is causing it. The correct version of FFDSHOW, properly configured, should never do that. A guess might be that you've installed one of those "codec packs" and somehow FFDSHOW isn't really what is being used for you.

[ViolentA79]

Thanks man. So is the good (faster) setting faster than the hi speed option (BD-25)?

And is the custom better than the bd-25 setting?

[jdobbs]

Thanks man. So is the good (faster) setting faster than the hi speed option (BD-25)?

And is the custom better than the bd-25 setting?No. The Hi-Speed option is pretty much the fastest you can get with X264 while remaining BD compliant... in most cases it is fine for a BD-25. The setting I recommended (GOOD/ABR) is what I believe to be a good balance of speed and quality that can be used with confidence for all BD-25 encodes. For BD-9/5 encodes -- I would always recommend "High Quality". It takes a long time -- but when you're compressing that much you need to use X264's best bells-and-whistles.

[bjones]

jdobbs, first off - great program. I ran into my first problem that I've been unable to get around, It has to do with a BD Season type disk, Weeds Season 4 to be exact. I do a full disk backup to BD25 from a 48GB source (the disks contain 8 episodes). Everything runs normally and I create the disk in imgburn with no errors anywhere along the way from rencode to final disk. Problem becomes that the disk plays fine in a software player but in my Panasonic BD55 evrything works fine through the menu selection, the episode starts with the DTS HD spashscreen all the way through and then it freezes -right where the episode would start. To validate it was a good rip from AnyDVD, I burned an unprocessed full image to BD50 (it plays fine on the player) then use that for the source into BDRebuilder. Any ideas for what I could try to do differently? I upgraded from 3.1.06 to 3.1.08 - no change

I actually use high-quality for ALL my encodes...with today's fast machines, it is usually just an over-nighter...I only goto BD-25 as well.

Now highest quality....tried one...cancelled after 1.5 days LOL!!!

I use custom size of 23,675 for BD25 encodes - it is close to the max size of a 25 GB BD disc - but leaves room enough for any oversized output that might happen - I am not an expert - but this has worked for me w/o problem so far (50 encodes at least) - As far as the speed setting - someone else has to answer that question - I always use one pass option - good picture IMO.

Thanks jdobbs for a great programCan't say for sure, but my guess is that it has something to do with dvdfab, because I used AnyDVD and did all three of those titles with no issues whatsoever... AnyDVD is very definitely worth what you pay for it. Hundreds of reencodes, zero issues. Of course it could also be a difference between your player and mine -- but that just doesn't seem to be the most likely cause.

Do you think you could download the trial version of AnyDVD, give it a try, and let me know if the same thing happens? It would be good to know.

This on Win7 x64 and BD-RE v0.31.08.

Tried to re-encode In The Loop (UK). First 15 titles (from VID_0000 to VID_00014) were no problem for x264.exe. They contained video encoded as MPEG-2/576i/25fps, AVC/576i/25fps and AVC/1080p/23.98fps. VID_00015 is AVC/1080i/25fps and crashes x264.exe constantly.

I realise this is not BD-RE's fault but figured it won't hurt to let jdobbs know about it.

Also, are you overclocked? You're not using 64 bit versions of any of the support software are you? That has a history of issues.

i have a question and a little problem.

First thanks for BD_Rebuilder.
It's a great program and the quality is amazing :)
I've encoded a lot of BD's and all of them are fine.

A few days ago i had problems with 2 Discs.
One Disc was Batman Returns and the other was Urban Legends.

I've used BD-RB 31.06 (Updated today to 31.08)

Here my settings:

Dont know what it is, all other Discs works fine.
I've checked the Files.It was a Trailer.

To solve this problem i've changed the mt2s File.
I removed the Trailer m2ts File and inserted a litte m2ts File from the beginning of the Disc. Renamed it correctly and the encoding works fine.

Played the encoded Disc from HDD with a Software Player and instead of the Trailer the player plays the File i've inserted.
All is fine.

Can i do this with every Bluray Disc?
Remove Warnings and other crap, replace it with short Blackscreen m2ts Files, rename it like the original ones and encode the Disc?

I want to keep the Menu and Extras, but i want to remove warnings and logos..-

I'll pick up "Urban Legends" and see if I can repeat the issue.

My Sony PS3 dont like Sony BD-RE Discs :devil:


Could the encoding problem be a problem of ripping with DVDFab?

I rip the Urban Disc again right now with the Red Fox and try to encode again with 31.08

Let's see what happens...

Another little question.
I've encoded all my Discs with High Quality (Default) and 2pass.
It takes about 6-12 Hours. (Length of the movie)

I've read that you say that you encode at Good and 1pass ABR.
Tested it and BD-RB says it takes round about 2 Hours, for all the extras and the Main Movie.

Is there a big Quality difference between High Quality 2pass and Good 1pass?

The time saving is very well.

The time saving is very well. Not a noticable difference from the original when backing-up to BD-25 -- the bitrate is pretty high. There may be an exception out there somewhere (something with a huge amount of content) -- but I haven't found one yet.

[KeVe1983]

Encoding works fine now with Urban Legend.
Ripped with AnyDVDHD and encoding with 31.08.

So it was a problem of 31.06, but i don't believe. I think this was because ripping the Disc with DVDFab.

[Denada]

Just found a disc that I cannot make a bd-25 of, full movie backup, getting reading buffer overflow errors on some of the tracks, any suggestions on how to maybe change some settings to fix it?

Thanks for this really cool tool jdobbs!

Please post your log. Also, what versions of FFDSHOW, AVISYNTH, and HAALI are you using? Also, are you overclocked? You're not using 64 bit versions of any of the support software are you? That has a history of issues.
FFDShow was 3111 but I've just noticed there's a link to a newer version in your first post, so I'm going to try that now. I did have the 64-bit version of FFDShow installed as well, but I uninstalled it now. Avisynth and Haali are the ones from your first post. Overclocked, yes, but rock solid, checked with various OC stability testing apps.

BTW, I re-started the encode job several times last night and told BD-RB to resume the job. After a couple of aborted runs, VID_00015 went through all of a sudden and the job resumed normally - until VID_00033 which was another 1080i/AVC/25fps title. I'll install the newer FFDShow and we'll see if that helps any.

Update: removed 64-bit FFDShow (though didn't I read somewhere that it shouldn't be a problem?), installed FFDShow rev.3133 (and Matroska Splitter to be sure) from first post, rebooted the box and resumed encoding job. VID_00033 used to crash at 0.20% but now it breezed past that without problems.

Oops, spoke too soon. Pass 2 at 3.70%, and something went kablooie. x264.exe is taking a gig of memory but CPU usage is 0%. I killed the x264 process manually and the job is now resuming. I think I'll start the entire job from scratch.

[jdobbs]

Encoding works fine now with Urban Legend.
Ripped with AnyDVDHD and encoding with 31.08.

So it was a problem of 31.06, but i don't believe. I think this was because ripping the Disc with DVDFab. I think so too.

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new release of BD-RB (v0.32.01). The changes included in this release are:- Added an option to modify the audio stream that is
to be considered "default" for movie-only backups.
Normally that would be the first stream kept. Now
you can right click on any "kept" audio stream in
the streams list and select it as the default audio.
- Corrected an error in which the "FORCE_NEW_CHAPTERS"
option could result in incorrect output for BD-5/9
movie-only encodes.
- Added code to append ExtensionData() information to
AVCHD output (BD-5/9) movie-only encodes. This will
provide a greater compatibility of the movie-only
format across different player types/brands. Many
thanks to DeanK for his helpful insight into AVCHD
formats.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1442 w/nal-hrd patch).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[jdobbs]

@DK and others who have had issues with movie-only AVCHD (BD-5/9) on their players

If you could, please try the new version with your movie-only encodes. I think it should work without any adjustment on most players now. I'd appreciate any feedback.

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.32.02). Changes for this version:- Corrected an "off-by-one" error in movie-only MPLS
file's ExtensionData() structure for AVCHD discs
created with v0.32.01
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Sorry about the confusion with multiple updates on the same day.

i haven't had issues with MOVIE only for ages, jdobbs

my last "problem" was FULL movie burned to DVD-DL, which did not work until i had multiavchd rewrite the rb output

of course i will report back as soon as i will have used this latest release for the first time no matter what the result may be

or would the latest version perhaps create slightly different material with FULL movie for BD9 so i should repeat the conversion which did not work last time? (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1374410&postcount=6903)

thanx for all your effort!

thanx for all your effort!No change for full mode (yet). You may see that in the next version. Right now I'm trying to make movie-only work on as many standalone players as possible. As I understand it, doing a similar ExtensionData() update on non-java full backups will result in similar compatibility. First, though, I want to make sure I haven't screwed anything up by adding it -- and movie-only is the best way to check that out.

I guess I misunderstood at least to some degree. I'd thought there were issues with movie-only on some (Panasonic/Samsung?) players.

If you could keep that (full backup) disc handy, I'll PM you with a link to a test copy as soon as I think I have it ready.

Ratchet the clock down to standard speed as a test and give it a try to see the impact. I know you said it is "rock solid" -- but video encoding has a way of making rocks into sand.
Don't I know it :) It took me quite a while to get the rig stable but now I can run Prime95 for days on end, and CPU temps never go above 65-66 Celsius. This disc is actually the first that's given me any problems in a long time; I've done quite a bunch of successful movie-only and full backups using the highest quality setting with zero issues. And the end result has always been fantastic, so kudos to you and x264 devs.

Anyhoo, I rebooted the box, deleted temp files and started over. It's currently doing pass 2 of VID_00015. No problems yet. Update: job finished without errors.

I guess I misunderstood at least to some degree. I'd thought there were issues with movie-only on some (Panasonic/Samsung?) players.

i can only speak for the Samsung 1600 and BD RB movie only on BD5/9 output runs fine if strict AVCHD setting is used in combination with DVD or DVD-DL media

dts with bd9 will not be played by this Samsung
(on BD-RE it runs fine however)

BD25 with movie only or full movie never failed


If you could keep that (full backup) disc handy, I'll PM you with a link to a test copy as soon as I think I have it ready.

i'll be glad to test/help

BD25 with movie only or full movie never failed



i'll be glad to test/helpThat makes sense. It appears the Samsung is assuming that BD-5 or BD-9 is always AVCHD -- and DTS isn't supported in AVCHD. That's why adding the ExtensionData() tags to some output would make it work.

I would think also that any disc that uses java (has JAR files) can't be converted (as a full-backup) at all to BD-9 and used on the Samsung (even if it is run through multiAVCHD). Can you confirm that?

i cannot confirm that yet but will test it

i have never - with one exception - tried a full movie backup on bd5/9 but i will run a test to bd5 with fastest settings now, which i can burn to a dvd-rw and let you know

Hello, I was trying to rebuild Surrogates
made a custom size of 26000 to avoid reencoding the main movie, just removed an audio.
Full disk Backup, Quicker encode on extras
it reencoded all but the main movie, came to a 98% BD-RE size, which was fine. I then tried to rebuild without Quicker encode for extras with all of the same settings and now it is trying to re-encode the main movie, when Quicker encode for extras is not setected, does it gives bigger files and that is why it's re-encoding the movie?
Thanks

[pkho]

I have had great success with BD Rebuilder in the past but just tried it today and the program won't even start. It gave me the error message "Run-time error '52' : Bad file name or number" straight away. Actually it gave me the same error on every builds I tried including the latest. Any idea what is wrong?

I have create a new user and BD Rebuilder works again. But got the following error after a while.

ThanksIt all depends. When using quicker encode, the extras are being encoded with a fixed CRF in order to save time. That could result in larger files than non-quick, it depends on the source. If they are bigger -- it could result in just enough extra space to require a reencode for the feature.

I too Jdobbs, never had a problem with( BD5 and BD9 movie only)- with Ver. 06 and 08. I did have a problem with Full backup to BD9 and no problem with BD25 full backup. Player Panasonic BD30 I'll be waiting for that Full backup update for BD5/BD9.

[DK]

Sorry to say that running the FULL movie backup test on DVD/DVD-DL is not possible these days.

My Samsung 1600 quit playing BDs (DVDs still worked) and i had to sent it to Samsung's service.
Meanwhile i only have a Philipps player for as a long as the Samsung is serviced.

quicker encode gave me fine results anyway and didn't re-encode the movie, so thanks

Just backed up Eagle Eye on Bd-25, picture and sound ok but AV sinc is out by about 2 seconds.

[worknstiff]

Ok, Here goes. I installed the BD-RB v0.32.02 (beta) and did 2 encodes with it. I finished 1 and started another without testing the BD-9 disk that was burned. I was in a hurry to go out the door and didn't get around to playing the disk untill now. The BD structure is corrupted somehow and even TNT3 won't play it. It hangs with CPU red lined untill you end it with task manager. I know it works ok on the RBLD'er stuff before this latest version so it has to be whatever you changed on the previous 2 versions. The disks (both BD-9's) won't play in my Panasonic BD-35 either. It say's reading disk and never starts playing. By the way we are talking about a Movie only BD-9 backup that has always worked untill now. Was there something I missed about changing the other tools (FFDshow or AviSynth) or is it just my configuration (Vista 32bit). I thought when I signed on here there would be lots of other reports but it seems I am the only one so far. I will go back to an earlier version and wait to try the next release.

thanks much Jdobbs for BD_RBLD'r, up until now it has worked like a charm.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a new version of BD-RB (v0.32.03). Changes for this release:- Restructured the format of the SETUP dialog in prep
for some upcoming changes.
- Corrected another formatting issue in ExtensionData()
entries of the MPLS and CLPI files.
- Fixed an issue in which some updated CLPI and MPLS
files may not be kept consistent between primary and
backup directories on movie-only encodes.
- Added a new hidden option "PASS_TWO_STATS_UPDATE".
When set to "1", the parameter "--pass 3" will be
used so that the .stats file will be updated.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Please make sure you report back if the new version doesn't work and you have to use this option -- that means there is something else to fix.

[Dark Shikari]

By the way, with respect to new versions:

1) Once the new x264 version is settled down and any more bugs fixed, grab a copy; it fixes one issue related to Blu-ray compliance (MinCR).

2) NAL-HRD is almost done! Then you'll be able to make BD Rebuilder produce compliant Blu-ray streams that should work on all players.

[hedgerow]

Can't say for sure, but my guess is that it has something to do with dvdfab, because I used AnyDVD and did all three of those titles with no issues whatsoever... AnyDVD is very definitely worth what you pay for it. Hundreds of reencodes, zero issues. Of course it could also be a difference between your player and mine -- but that just doesn't seem to be the most likely cause.

Do you think you could download the trial version of AnyDVD, give it a try, and let me know if the same thing happens? It would be good to know.

you were correct m8 it must have been something to do with dvdfab re-ripped with anydvd without "disable bd-live" and it played but was little messed up(menus, warnings came up in wrong place) so re did it with "disable bd-live" ticked and it seems perfect just gotta watch it through for quality but if any of my other backups are to go by it should be perfect

once again thanks for this awsome programme

[worknstiff]

@ Jdobbs-- Tested 32.03 and it fixed the problem. I still had all the workfolder files and got it to restart and the finished BD-9 file works with TMT and I will burn shortly. Many thanks for the quick response in getting out a new release.

UPDATE: I tried to burn with TMT like always and it is so BD compliant that TMT keeps asking for a BD to burn to. I had to use Avchd.patcher to get it to burn. Before I was always able to get it to play without checking the strict AVCD box. ????

Great news. :thanks:


I burned the Movie only output (that plays fine with TMT to BD-9, BUT in my Panasonic BD-30 the disk doesn't play with the latest version. The resulting disk does play with PowerDVD and TMT. Something is still goofy.

[KeVe1983]

jdobbs i think i have a new problem.

Does BD-RB reencode the Main Menue?
If not there is a problem.

I want to encode the BD of Sleepy Hollow.
The Encoding was fine.
I've tested the encoded Disc with Total Media Theatre and PowerDVD9. All seems fine and the Disc starts.
Also the Menue is starting, but there are no Buttons.
Only the animated Background plays.

BD50 Main Menue is about 180 MB, but the encoded Main Menue has a size of only 50 MB.

So i copied the original 180 MB Main Menue in the Stream Folder of the encoded Disc. The Disc starts and also the Main Menue seems fine with Buttons. But it only plays for 15 seconds and the the Main Movie is starting.

[Capsbackup]

@KeVe1983;
You could try MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250, and see if the particular .m2ts file is removed from the reencode list. If so, try a new backup and see if the menu plays correctly then. This would help trouble shoot the problem.
Also, make sure you are using the latest beta, there has been several updates this past week!

Are you positive it was a good burn to a good disc?

Should i copy MIN_M2TS_SIZE=250 to my BD-RB.ini?
Does it matter where to paste it?
At the beginning, or the end?

[Capsbackup]

Just below "options" in the .INI.
If you look at the changes .txt file in the zip package of BD-RB, scroll down to "March 7th, 2009 - v0.20.03", you will find it.
I am not sure this will work for you, but is worth a try.

[pkho]

It successfully encoded one AVC track, and failed on another -- what did you use to decrypt?

I used AnydvdHD for decryption and copy folders to HD. BTW I got it all working after some advise to install K-Lite Codec Pack. Encoding the full disc is successful. Only problem is that the BD25 works on my PS3 (firmware 3.15) up until the main movie and shows nothing but black. Sound and popup menu still works. The same disc works perfectly on my standalone S550 or HTPC. Any idea what is the cause?

One other issue is that it gives me Error 52 straight away when I try to run BDRebuilder. I solve that by creating a new user. But if I start BDRebuilder using [Run as adminstrator] then it will also give me Error 52.

[Discoboy]

Please try the version I just uploaded -- I've found one more thing that needed to be fixed in the ExtensionData() info that was added in the last couple of versions. If that doesn't work, try adding this to your config options:

FIX_MOVIEONLY=0

Please make sure you report back if the new version doesn't work and you have to use this option -- that means there is something else to fix.

Movie only projects are still broken for playback on a Panasonic BD35 in BD Rebuilder v0.32.03 (beta).

I will try again but this time but with the FIX_MOVIEONLY=0 switch

Movie only projects are still broken for playback on a Panasonic BD35 with BD Rebuilder v0.32.03 (beta) + the “FIX_MOVIEONLY=0” switch.

To double check I also processed then same project with Ripbot264 v1.15.0 and playback was OK on the Panasonic BD35

FYI: Even when the playback was broken on the Panasonic BD35 stand-alone player, playback was no problem using PC based PowerDVD 9 soft.

[Paddy97]

Hi Jdobbs, I have a question regarding non correctly mastered Blurays regarding ISO language tagging for the subtitles.

I live in Sweden and lately I've come across 3 recent BD discs that I've purchased that all are having the same error in their mastering.

The authors have abreviated Swedish subtitles as "sve". This is not correct but a common error since Sweden in Swedish is named Sverige.

The error on the disc is easy to go around. All I have to do is to guess that the subtitle marked as "Unknown" by BD-Reb is swedish or just check with eac3to that shows Sve and I can select it. So, what I am asking for, and it is a stretch since the error in not on your side, would it be possible to add sve as well as swe in the program to mean Swedish?

[worknstiff]

Have you tried it with the option switch I provided a few posts back? That can tell me whether it was the addition of ExtensionData() to the format or something else. Are you positive it was a good burn to a good disc?

Tried new rebuild with FIX_MOVIEONLY=0. Disk is still not playable except with TMT & PowerDVD. I finaly used Clown to rebuild BD and now it plays fine on DMP-30 SAP. Hope you find the prob.:thanks:

With that switch set you are getting EXACTLY the same output you would have seen from previous versions... unless you are forcing a subtitle or changing the default audio track, the only other change would have been the newer X264 version.

Have you done any recent firmware updates on the Panasonic?

I have not used BD_RB for a while now until you released v0.32.01 - 03 (beta) and so I cannot say from which older version the playback was broken.

I am not forcing any subs (I disable all) or changing the default audio track

I have been using RipBot264 for the last 6 months and so decided it was time to tryout BD_RB again due to using the latest X264 >r1400. So maybe it is to do with X264 r1400 or higher..?

RipBot264 is only upto X264 r1376 so far

The BD35 SAP is running the latest v1.7 firmware since it auto updated back on the 1st Dec last year

Hope the above info helps you out

Thank you.
Works fine for me.
Menue was not reencoded after editing the .ini

[Capsbackup]

Just tried my first movie only backup to BD-5 with BD-RBV03203, and my results, though mixed, played back fine on TMT3, PowerDVD 7.3 and my SonyS360.
However, what I did notice that is not working the same as previous vesions, on the Sony S360, is Fast Forward. It appears the movie does not advance fluidly as before, but one picture frame is held on the screen for a long time while the time clock advances, then another frame will display for several seconds while the timer keeps advancing, etc.. so its just not displaying frames during FF as progressively as before, but holding on to one frame for longer during the FF. :confused:
The chapter advance is working fine.

@KeVe1983;
glad that worked for you!

[datman]

This is one that no matter how many times I try to encode it it just won't work. This one the video stops mid way and the audio keeps going . This is an error I have seen a few times with a few films.
This is all the information I can get for you.

It's a bad rip - the pictures freezes but you hear the audio. I have had it twice and on both times when I re-ripped them they were fine the next time

[Discoboy]

Rolled back to v0.31.06 (beta) and playback is working again on the BD35 SAP.

I see from some posts that this issue is not just with me as other BD30 and BD50 users have had similar experiences also.

Will now roll forward and test v0.31.08 (beta)....

[Data24]

I tried to convert the BluRay "Transformers 2 Bonus" (second bluray) to BD-9 (DVD-9). To decrease the amount of data i set the "resize 1080p - 720p" checkbox but only the first two m2ts files where resized. The avs-files generated for the other m2ts had to "LanczosResize" line so they where still 1080p. Any idea why BD-Rebuilder ignores the resize setting?
