BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[Category 5]

@jdobbs

Just curious (again!)... how does BD-RB handle forced subs in Movie Only encodes? By forced, i mean subs that automatically appear when a foreign language is spoken in an english language film?

Kill Bill 1 is an example.

Cheers

When i did KB1 I have to manually add the second sub stream before backing up, and then use "Correct BD" to force them to on. It would be cool if there was a switch in BD-Rebuilder to allow selecting and forcing of these streams, but I know of no way yet.

[PurpleMan]

Yes. It would require someone to buy/donate something before they can use BD-RB. If you have to buy something -- it is no longer freeware.

BTW, I fully support Neuron2's concept of a required donation. That's what I do for DVD Rebuilder Professional Edition as well. It has been my experience to date that if you don't require it you will be very disappointed. People just generally want a free ride.

You must have misunderstood something. I wasn't talking about the nVidia based DG tools, but rather the FREE libavcodec based ones.

There are 2 versions:

DGAVCDecode (freeware, libavcodec) vs. DGAVCDecodeNV (donation-ware, nvidia powered)
DGVC1Decode (freeware, libavcodec) vs. DGVC1DecodeNV (donation-ware, nvidia powered)

So I was wondering why not use the FREE libavcodec based ones, like you use in DVD Rebuilder (dgdecode). That way you can be sure EVERYONE are using the same decoder and no directshow compatibility issues. Not even under Windows 7.

[Guest]

There is no DGVC1Dec that uses libavcodec.

And DGAVCDec that uses libavcodec fails on some PAFF streams. The newer libavcodec versions have regressions that make accurate random access impossible, otherwise I would have updated long ago.

June 20th, 2009 - v0.23.02
- Corrected an error in which a file may incorrectly
be flagged as no reencode and cause oversizing.


Wow, that was quick! I will test this fix later tonight.

:thanks:

What is "Correct BD"? I can't seem to find anything on it. I've been using BDedit to manually add the SetStream command to force subtitles. I agree this would be a great feature to add to BD-Rebuilder and also auto detection of forced subtitles if possible.

Just got a encoder fail on doing the second pass of a very small file that BD-RB says needs doing because its part of another playlist

a screengrab of x264 shows this error as its reason


avis [info]: 1920x1080 @ 23.98 fps (6 frames)
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Slow

The M2TS ReEncoded before this one was pretty much identical just a black screen but this one encoded without problems

To sort it I copied and renamed the MKV encoded in the previous step since it was pretty much the same size/content to match the one that failed and changed the step in the BDREBUILDER.INF file so it would skip the encoding of the file and proceed to the multiplexing of the MKV I copied/renamed it then completed ok That ain't good. I'll fix it. I think logic dictates that specifying a bitrate of 5 may be too low, eh? :p

Cheers Right now it doesn't.

[GaPony]

FWIW, I always make sure all English subs are selected (since I never know which is which) and they seem to be working pretty consistently for the movies I've done. It's not often that I've needed to turn them on.

Tried to do Step Brothers US Version full disc at get Failed Retry at 99.9% point. Latest version. Don't think it's VC-1

- [01:38:36] Reencoding: VID_00384 (55 of 63)
- Encode failed. Retrying.
- Encode failed. Retrying.
- Reached retry limit. Aborting.
[01:38:40] - Failed video encode, aborted

Any ideas?

[drmih]

Try playing the problem file in media player classic - if it's pixelated it's either vc-1 or not ripped properly.

If you just want to complete the encode you can just increment the ini file to move on and copy it manually - as you're at 99% it won't cause the disc to be oversized.

[bassnut]

Nice work JDobbs ........ Just sent a donation sorry it took so long but paypal can be slow sometimes.

I don't know if this is a new issue or has always been liked that, or even if it's supposed to be like that, but here goes:

Used latest version to do The Truman Show. I added the KEEP_INTERLACING setting to the settings file, and it did, in fact, kept it interlaced.

Thing is, when playing the original disc, the player deinterlaces it on-the-fly. But when playing the BD-RB copy, it seems to think that the file is progressive, so the combing effect is all over the place.

Any idea?

What are you using to play the backed up disc? (107 posts and registered 2003....christ!...detail!) :)

If you're playing it in media player classic as an m2ts etc then it will have the zig zags still there. If you're playing it on a hardware standalone player then something is wrong somewhere. I have done a good 10-12 discs like this and the on the fly de interlacing seems to work as it should on the backup this is on a Sony S550.

Obviously not in media player classic as I mentioned that the original disc DOES deinterlace :) I was playing on PowerDVD (7 and 9). Loading original disc - works great. Loading BD-RB copy - interlacing combing effects.

Hi together :)

First of all: Great tool!!! Works fine for me with a few BD-50 to DVD9 Movie-Only Backups.
But VC-1 under Windows 7 x64 don't work fine. First i got a Encode Aborted Error.

Then I deleted the preferred Registry-Folder and set wmv9 as Decoder for VC-1 (as mentioned in this thread a few pages earlier).
My english is not the best. Maybe i don't understand something!?

My test-film is "Mirrors". With the registry-hack it encodes but it didn't play in PowerDVD 9 (internal error). In my standalone Sony BDP-S550 it plays, but the picture-quality is not so good as other Encodes to DVD-9. Is this a problem with VC-1 or do i anything wrong?

Thanks very much!

Might want to read this...

Windows 7 is not supported as of yet. Don't expect any help, I think this is the official line. I'd start a new thread personally as this is for bug reports in BD-Rebuilders intended environment (not having a go, but I sincerely believe this is jdobbs viewpoint at least for the moment). <- this isn't a quote, just put it in quotes since it doesn't pertain directly to your question...

However in answer to your question on picture quality, a backup to dvd9 even in movie only mode won't guarantee a good picture for long movies 2.5-3 hours+ will look noticeably worse on 32inch+ screens (rough guess\depends on sources\lots of things\ball park estimates)

[drmih]

Mirrors isn't a good disc to check as I tried and it's a branching version with theatrical and extended - it seems that there are lots of m2ts parts which it puts together in different ways. I never managed a playable full version and eventually used tsmuxer to create the extended version which I then did as movie only to bd-5 but the quality was fine.

[Furiousflea]

Obviously not in media player classic as I mentioned that the original disc DOES deinterlace :) I was playing on PowerDVD (7 and 9). Loading original disc - works great. Loading BD-RB copy - interlacing combing effects.

I've just completed "Take That: The Ultimate Tour" disc, which is comprised of ALL 1080i with 1 or 2 480i segments material in mpeg4avc format using latest BDRB 23.02...

To my surprise the backup is worthless, the intro before the menu has extreme flickering (ala wrong field order deinterlacing before encoding). Also the menu text overlay simply isn't there (just has menu video playing and navigating doesn't work either) using PowerDVD9 original disc does works perfectly fine though....Very strange.

I have done discs with first version that supported keeping the interlaced material as interlaced with no problems. jdobbs has something changed with the interlacing thing?

Thanx, Rob

Just did Spiderman 2 and ran into a fairly big oversize. Finished files ready to burn with Imgbrn 26,063,621,745 byes ....... that would be about a Gig over. Full backup to BD25 with 2 english HD Audio and all subs

[aquanash]

June 20th, 2009 - v0.23.02
- Corrected an error in which a file may incorrectly
be flagged as no reencode and cause oversizing.


I was finally able to test this fix and there is no longer oversizing with Frost/Nixon (US). Both video streams are re-encoded and used for muxing the final output. Thanks again for the quick response!

But while working with this same disc I've discovered a separate issue that I don't think is related to the new version of BD-RB (I also tried v0.22.02 and see the same exact issue). The problem is that the chapters are not set properly with this movie. Here is what I'm seeing for the chapters set in MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta:

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --avchd --vbr --custom-chapters=00:00:00.000;02:01:57.393 --vbv-len=500

As you can see it creates chapters at the very beginning and the very and of the movie. For some reason it didn't import the full chapter list correctly.

I ran this disc through eac3to to list the titles and it's a little strange in that the first title has the main movie and the short "This movie was rated R" clip seamlessly branched. Then the second title just has the main movie. Only the first title has the chapter list while the second is missing it. It seems as if this is confusing BD-RB or maybe there is some problem handling the seamless branch title. I've never seen this problem on any other discs so it must be something strange about this one that is causing the issue.

If you need any other info just let me know!

Has anyone been able to do 25gb movie only back-up of Sin City, with high-res audio?

Thanx, Rob I don't think so, but I'll go back and look at it. Try it without the INTERLACED setting and see if it acts differently. Have you done that specific disc successfully with an older version? There's all kinds of potential for oddness with interlace reencoding (thus the reason I put it off so long), especially with BFF or hybrid sources.

If you need any other info just let me know! I've been doing a lot of testing with Frost/Nixon the last few days. It's a good test for secondary (PiP) video since it has two secondary video tracks.

@Anyone

Has anyone found a way to successfully MUX secondary audio tracks? I've been pulling my hair out... I may have to resort to muxing myself instead of using a tool. Ugghh

tsmuxer can do it through the command line....im sure it was mentioned somewhere that there is a switch to signify a track is a secondary pip style track...

yes there is an option that can be added to the meta file but currently its only supported for video streams not audio.

plus I don't think tsmuxer can demux DTS Express which is pretty common for secondary audio.

[jdobbs]

plus I don't think tsmuxer can demux DTS Express which is pretty common for secondary audio. That's exactly where I am. It works for the video, but not the audio. I can use EAC3TO to demux them (since TSMUXER can't) -- but then TSMUXER doesn't recognize them for remuxing and I'm right back where I started.

[deank]

roman added the option as a workaround for cropped videos and the subpath includes only the video stream. He is not visiting the forum for some time, but may be an email will bring him back :)

Hi Jdobbs

bug report : still no luck with the star trek bd's

The problem seems to reside in a m2ts file that follows the main movie but is nearly empty and is only a few seconds.
TSmuxer says "some streams not recognized"
if i demux the video the vidstream is not playable by any player.

is it an option to exclude these nearly empty m2ts from encoding?

maybe when reading the mpls files u programmaticly ignore the playitems shorter then x seconds ?

I have seen this in many movies

hope i have been of some help

chearz:thanks:

Problems can still occur by not encoding these files the reason that they still appear would signal that they are part of another playlist that needs encoding and therefore may need to be encoded to match.

Since most discs now use AVC for pretty much all the content maybe the odd bit of MPEG2 the detection of these linked files could be more intelligent but this would most likely cause alot of bugs and you also stand the risk to run into audio mismatches too

Open the BDREBUILDER.INF file its stored in the same place as your working path where the WORKFILES directory is.

You will find a line that says ENCODE_STEP=(step_number)

Just change this number up one I think you are on step 0 so change it to a 1 save and resume

IIRC steps are (Correct me if im wrong but this is from the top of my head)

0 = Demux
1 = 1st Pass
2 = 2nd Pass
3 = Audio Encoding
4 = Muliplexing

[Furiousflea]

Hi there, as requested tried without the hidden interlaced option. Results are the same in terms of playability (no menu overlay appears and therefore unplayable). The opening first play video is de-interlaced correctly though...

Are you seeing the same missing chapters issue? I'm not sure if it is related to PiP, it could be something else. How does BD-RB extract the chapters?

[jdobbs]

Are you seeing the same missing chapters issue? I'm not sure if it is related to PiP, it could be something else. How does BD-RB extract the chapters? I've been doing full-disc backups, so I wouldn't see that. I'll run a movie-only test.

The chapters are defined in the MPLS, and BD-RB pulls them from it.

[Capsbackup]

No problem with chapters for me with movie only or full backup. BD-RB has been correctly placing all chapters the same as original.
I have had absolutely no problems with the last 4 - 5 backups, both movie only BD-5 and full backup to BD-25. Excellent work jdobbs. :)

Look at the LASTCMD.TXT file and see if the bitrate is set to some very low value (it may be related to post #3459). If so, change it and then cut/paste it into a CMD window to run. If it completes, then just increment the COMPLETED=x parameter in BDREBUILDER.INF and resume the encode.

""C:\Users\Category 5\Desktop\bd rebuilder\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "S:\BD 25-9\STEP BROS FULL BD\WORKFILES\VID_00384.AVS" --bitrate 25000 --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --fps 30000/1001 --aud --vbv-bufsize 25000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --vbv-maxrate 35000 --filter 0,0 --subme 2 --me hex --bframes 3 --8x8dct --direct auto --weightb --trellis 0 --analyse none --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --stats "S:\BD 25-9\STEP BROS FULL BD\WORKFILES\VID_00384.AVS.MKV.stats" --pass 1 --output NUL
"

I tried incrementing the Completed=x number but it fails on each of the remaining files. they are all ver small files (under 300KB each) and there are 9

Can I just copy them into the workfiles directory manually, and rename them mkv, and then change to completed=65? Obviously there is no need to recode such small files and then I can get on with rebuilding the BD structure

This is what was listed in the last command file

I tried incrementing the Completed=x number but it fails on each of the remaining files. they are all ver small files (under 300KB each) and there are 9

Can I just copy them into the workfiles directory manually, and rename them mkv, and then change to completed=65? Obviously there is no need to recode such small files and then I can get on with rebuilding the BD structure

This is what was listed in the last command file

You just need to increment past them and copy the original m2ts files and the associate playback files to the working directory. With the flag incremented it assumes that the process has been complete and everything remuxed, so you wouldn't have the mkv anymore.

Problems can still occur by not encoding these files the reason that they still appear would signal that they are part of another playlist that needs encoding and therefore may need to be encoded to match.

Since most discs now use AVC for pretty much all the content maybe the odd bit of MPEG2 the detection of these linked files could be more intelligent but this would most likely cause alot of bugs and you also stand the risk to run into audio mismatches too

i have replaced the m2ts file with een selfencoded one of 2 sec now BD-RB works fine.
can anyone explain why so many titles have a trailing m2ts file which is nearly empty.
it is not menu and not popup

I thought that bluray was not restricted to one kind of codec
and what div does one file of 2 sec make to the whole playlist ? The playlist determines what to play in that order.

iam sorry but i don`t agree with your statement, maybe you can elaborate? :thanks:

i possibly found a new way to decode VC1-Interlaced :)

The Decoder that comes with "Sonic Scenarist Blu-ray Edition 4.3" at first seemmed to work(output picture was good):

x264 tried to use it but there was a mistake :-(

the main issue is that the playlist tells the player the type of video content avc/vc1 etc and every video file in the playlist must be the same codec some players may just ignore the mismatch others may just stop/crash etc

just copying the file will work correctly providing the original video was avc as they will still match but if the original is say vc1 after encoding it will be avc and the playlist will tell the player the codec is avc but the copied file will still be vc1 and not match therefore requires reencoding to avc.

hope that makes sence but im using my phone to reply

So the m2ts files, but what other files need to get copied over? the only ones that look important to me are the mpls files, but there are like 700 of those in the structure and only 392 of the m2ts.

EDIT - I added the M2Ts and incremented past in order to try rebuilding but got the message

"One or more reencoded files are missing (oo384.clpi)

EDIT2 - Added clpi files found in original directory and get "Failure to multiplex"

I probably shouldn't report this yet till I try it with the latest version. But did a backup of Samurai 7 anime BD1 and the first encode i did with both TrueHD audio tracks came up over sized by about 4.5GB (BD25 Encode) then tried it a second time with only the english audio and it was about 4% over sized at 1.5GB.

Used BD-RB 22.02 but will try again tonight with the latest version see if I get the same resaults. If there is some specific info needed from BD-RB or someone is curious let me know.

I just used the standard settings. x264 mode, BD25, Slowest speed.

Great app btw, this is the only disk i've had a problem with trying to backup.

Thanks for the hard work JDobbs!
