BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[DK]

Thanx to the help of D.K
we have managed to solve the problems with POTC1 + POTC2.
so thanx again for the help

you're more than welcome but maybe you could point other readers to what the solution was :)

@leChameleon

You really don't need to post all that info. Just stick to to posting the log\details that pertain to your problem, it also has the effect of me not being able to quote you to answer your question as I'm too lazy to bother deleting half of what you have copy\pasted.

Personally I think your having problems with the high quality settings because your CPU or memory is crapping out on you after a certain amount of time. Also note that on the high speed setting your CPU might not be maxed out constantly, as in it might fluctuate it's load down to 95~ percent more often - this will have a massive effect on stability.

Can't think of any other reason for your finding except for something like that. (inadequate cooling)

[jdobbs]

I think the other one has gone :)Of course -- that's the one I couldn't find. :) Hmm... maybe I shouldn't have fixed the second one -- then it would have went away too!

[jdobbs]

Hi jdobbs,

Were you able to complete your run on VALKYRIE yet? If so can you comment on your results?

I'm testing a High-Speed encode job right now running v0.28.3. 70% finished now. Its working on VID_00177 now. Yes. It ended up at 22GB.

Target size: 24,117,248,000
Actual size: 23,695,384,576

So it hit 98.2% of the target size.

[Furiousflea]

you're more than welcome but maybe you could point other readers to what the solution was :)

Too right!!! (not for me but for the principle!)

[jdobbs]

Was Trellis replaced with Macroblack tree? No. But I removed Trellis as an option in the SETUP dialog because it is automatically enabled/disabled based up the level of quality you select. (it's part of the PRESET).

[jdobbs]

I'm using a completely clean install of Vista 64 with the versions of everything that you link to at the beginning of this thread, nothing else installed except chipset, soundcard and graphics drivers. I did this because I thought maybe it was something to do with my install so I made a fresh clean install on a new hard drive.
Where do I find the log that Dark Shakiri is requesting? Actually if it is only happening with VC-1, it's unlikely it has anything to do with X264 -- it's more likely the CODEC you are using. What setting do you have for VC-1 in the FFDSHOW setup?

[jdobbs]

Sorry for this slightly offtopic question:

Is ffdshow still nessessary in Windows 7?

I did *not* install it (just avisynth and haali) and BD Rebuilder did work without a problem.

The BD9 result was 600MB undersized though. Could the missing ffdshow be the reason for that? Would it be advisable to install ffdshow even in Win7?

Thanks in advance.
S. I really don't know, as I'm not using Windows 7. It's possible that it includes all the codecs you need. Vista and XP certainly don't. That level of undersizing is at about 7%, which is more than a typical delta for two pass. What mode did you use to encode? If it was one-pass CRF, that's probably about about right.

[Adbear]

Actually if it is only happening with VC-1, it's unlikely it has anything to do with X264 -- it's more likely the CODEC you are using. What setting do you have for VC-1 in the FFDSHOW setup?

I've had it set to disabled, libavcodec and wmv9, does the same with all 3, but only with settings that do a first pass, if I set it to the fast BD-25 option it has no problem as it skips the first pass

[sype]

Odd. That's two error reports I've gotten in that same area -- in a section of code that hasn't changed in several months. When Furiousflea reported something similar I went back and checked the code, It is byte-for-byte identical to v0.26.03, which you said you used to complete the rebuild.

:confused: Are you sure your source isn't corrupt or was dismounted during the rebuild?

One idea: what is the label name of the BD? It shows at the top of the STREAM tab.

Im not quite sure what your getting at. but im running it again on my other pc to see what happens.
The label name is VOLUME_ID but the film is Lakeview terrace. region b.

[leChameleon]

Yes. It ended up at 22GB.

Target size: 24,117,248,000
Actual size: 23,695,384,576

So it hit 98.2% of the target size.Thanks for letting me know. What I fail to understand is that 8 earlier builds including v0.26.3 work perfectly yet only v0.27.1 and later fail on certain DVD's.

I'm highly confident it is not hardware issues as this machine is stored in a temperature controlled server room and is used for far more CPU intensive jobs than this. Moreover at the times certain jobs failed they were the only one running at that time. I've had as many as 3 BD-RB jobs running plus running other very intensive jobs in the background and all jobs completed successful.

What I suspect is that there may be certain cases where switching to the new x264 release may still have some issues.

I can't presume that I'm the only one having this issue when others have PM'd me to let me know they have run into similar issues.

Please let me know if you're finished looking into this matter as it worked for you, thus you're unable to reproduce it. Otherwise please let me know how you'd like to proceed and if I can be of any help.

Thanks for letting me know. What I fail to understand is that 8 earlier builds including v0.26.3 work perfectly yet only v0.27.1 and later fail on certain DVD's.

I'm highly confident it is not hardware issues as this machine is stored in a temperature controlled server room and is used for far more CPU intensive jobs than this. Moreover at the times certain jobs failed they were the only one running at that time. I've had as many as 3 BD-RB jobs running plus running other very intensive jobs in the background and all jobs completed successful.

I can't presume that I'm the only one having this issue when others have PM'd me to let me know they have run into similar issues.

Please let me know if you're finished looking into this matter as it worked for you, thus you're unable to reproduce it. Otherwise please let me know how you'd like to proceed and if I can be of any help.PMs don't help anybody. If they have an issue they need to post it. I can't fix things reported in someone elses's PM.

The bottom line is that I did the exact same disc with the exact same settings and it sized correctly. What else can I say? The only difference left is your configuration and system. And secret PMs aside, I'm not getting any other reports of massive undersizing on two pass encodes.

I really don't need any more input from your side. I have plenty. I'm going to go through what I have and see if there are any exceptions or circumstances that could make it do something weird.

[Edit] One thing I'd like to know. When if finishes the last M2TS (the one with the huge undersize), what bitrate is listed in LASTCMD.TXT? My encode shows 8853 for 00074.

[leChameleon]

PMs don't help anybody. If they have an issue they need to post it. I can't fix things reported in someone elses's PM. Perhaps they have.

[leChameleon]

To reiterate.... What I fail to understand is that 8 earlier builds including v0.26.3 work perfectly yet only v0.27.1 and later fail on certain DVD's. Do you have any idea's or explanation for this?

[jdobbs]

To reiterate.... What I fail to understand is that 8 earlier builds including v0.26.3 work perfectly yet only v0.27.1 and later fail on certain DVD's. Do you have any idea's or explanation for this? No. Because I get approximately the same either way.

Arguing doesn't help. I said I'd still look at it, but I can only do what I can do. Maybe you can point me the post where someone else reported an undersize that of 50% on a two pass encode?

[leChameleon]

No. Because I get approximately the same either way.

Arguing doesn't help. I said I'd still look at it, but I can only do what I can do.I'm not arguing with you hope you don't feel that way. I'm trying to figure out if you want me to continue testing your code to help you. I've not been demanding or insinuated any sense of urgency to have anything done. What I have been doing is trying to provide you with clear detailed information to see if this helps you. I also understand that it may be difficult to debug or diagnose this sort of problem as I come from a software development background so I can sympathize with you and praise you for what your doing as well as your motivation.

[leChameleon]

Maybe you can point me the post where someone else reported an undersize that of 50% on a two pass encode?I'm unclear how you came to this conclusion from my original comment. There is nothing in the statement you quoted that says anything about "undersize that of 50% on a two pass encode".

[leChameleon]

For what its worth the max CPU temperature over that last 24 hours (since that's all we log) was 27C.

[leChameleon]

I really don't need any more input from your side. I have plenty. I'm going to go through what I have and see if there are any exceptions or circumstances that could make it do something weird.

[Edit] One thing I'd like to know. When if finishes the last M2TS (the one with the huge undersize), what bitrate is listed in LASTCMD.TXT? My encode shows 8853 for 00074.As there were complaints that I was posting too much information I only posted the LOG and INF. Unfortunately I've started another job to test something thus the LASTCMD.TXT has been overwritten. Is there a way in the future to store this with the WORKFILES? I'll be glad to restart the job again to see if I can get this information for you, assuming the results yield the same result. I'll let you know.

Thank you for your time and patients. :)

[jdobbs]

I'm unclear how you came to this conclusion from my original comment. There is nothing in the statement you quoted that says anything about "undersize that of 50% on a two pass encode". The main movie (00074) was undersized by much more than 50%.

[jdobbs]

As there were complaints that I was posting too much information I only posted the LOG and INF. Unfortunately I've started another job to test something thus the LASTCMD.TXT has been overwritten. Is there a way in the future to store this with the WORKFILES? I'll be glad to restart the job again to see if I can get this information for you, assuming the results yield the same result. I'll let you know.

Thank you for your time and patients. :) I hate to put you through that. As I found from my attempt to repeat the error, the "Highest" mode takes a LOT of time.

[sype]

You can ignore my error message that i posted earlier.
Its rebuilding correctly now, must have been a one off error.
I will not post an error message again unless i get the same error a few times.

@jdobbs
Are SAMPLE_GROUP=4800 and SAMPLE_SIZE=96 still the defaults for 0.28.x as under the dominion of 0.27.x or something has changed? Thanks

[By-Tor]

you're more than welcome but maybe you could point other readers to what the solution was :)

yeah ..o.k
was unable to rebuild potc1 + potc2 using anydvd 6.5.7.1 HD
but managed to solve the problem under advice from DK
to use fab hd decrypter instead which worked just fine
if more info needed check my earlier posts which have more indepth info.:thanks:

[pbeumer2001]

I sit possible that the new version is slower than the previous one? I use the default quality settings every time. Good enough for me. But I`ve lost about 5 frames per second on the first pass with the new version. Any idea?

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs
Are SAMPLE_GROUP=4800 and SAMPLE_SIZE=96 still the defaults for 0.28.x as under the dominion of 0.27.x or something has changed? ThanksDefaults are:

NTSC @ 23.976

SAMPLE_SIZE = "48"

NTSC @ 29.97

[jdobbs]

I sit possible that the new version is slower than the previous one? I use the default quality settings every time. Good enough for me. But I`ve lost about 5 frames per second on the first pass with the new version. Any idea? Actually the first pass should be faster starting with v0.27.1 -- in any later versions the settings haven't changed in any way that would affect speed other than a very, very slight effect of MBTREE.

[Capsbackup]

PMs don't help anybody. If they have an issue they need to post it. I can't fix things reported in someone elses's PM.

The bottom line is that I did the exact same disc with the exact same settings and it sized correctly. What else can I say? The only difference left is your configuration and system. And secret PMs aside, I'm not getting any other reports of massive undersizing on two pass encodes.

I really don't need any more input from your side. I have plenty. I'm going to go through what I have and see if there are any exceptions or circumstances that could make it do something weird.

[Edit] One thing I'd like to know. When if finishes the last M2TS (the one with the huge undersize), what bitrate is listed in LASTCMD.TXT? My encode shows 8853 for 00074.

If I'm reading the very next post correctly, #4565, IeChameleon's log says for 00074.mt2s is:
[01:50:56] PHASE ONE, Encoding
- [01:50:56] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00074]
- [01:51:49] Reencoding: VID_00074 (1 of 30)

- [02:00:57] Multiplexing M2TS
This would appear to be more than double the 8853 for 00074 per jdobbs.
But this probably will not help anyway, because sometimes things just don't compute. :rolleyes:

[pbeumer2001]

Actually the first pass should be faster starting with v0.27.1 -- in any later versions the settings haven't changed in any way that would affect speed other than a very, very slight effect of MBTREE.

Maybe the newer version op x264 can be a bit slower?

Hi jdobbs,

What are your thougths on the above error?

Thanks.

[jdobbs]

Maybe the newer version op x264 can be a bit slower? If it is it isn't noticable on my Phenom system.

[jdobbs]

PMs don't help anybody. If they have an issue they need to post it. I can't fix things reported in someone elses's PM.

The bottom line is that I did the exact same disc with the exact same settings and it sized correctly. What else can I say? The only difference left is your configuration and system. And secret PMs aside, I'm not getting any other reports of massive undersizing on two pass encodes.

I really don't need any more input from your side. I have plenty. I'm going to go through what I have and see if there are any exceptions or circumstances that could make it do something weird.

[Edit] One thing I'd like to know. When if finishes the last M2TS (the one with the huge undersize), what bitrate is listed in LASTCMD.TXT? My encode shows 8853 for 00074.

If I'm reading the very next post correctly, #4565, IeChameleon's log says for 00074.mt2s is:
[01:50:56] PHASE ONE, Encoding

- [02:00:57] Video Encode complete
- [02:00:57] Reencoding audio tracks (if req'd)
- [02:00:57] Multiplexing M2TS
This would appear to be more than double the 8853 for 00074 per jdobbs.
But this probably will not help anyway, because sometimes things just don't compute. :rolleyes: I thought I'd asked earlier if this was a complete encode? Of course it's undersized.... that segment should have 173,130 frames. It's obviously crashing -- which is definitely a system instability. I've seen it before with overclocking... Don't know if that's the case for him.

Since he's reporting success on earlier versions, it could possibly be an incompatibility between his system and X264... but if that were the case there'd be dozens of reports on the AVC forum. All I know is that BD-RB is never going to make 19,972 frames look like 173,130 and I'm on to something else.

[jdobbs]

Hi jdobbs,

What are your thougths on the above error?

Thanks. I'd guess there's something odd about the original mux and TSMUXER can't handle it. One way to get around it is to demux the audio and video separately. You can do it manually. Maybe I'll look for that error and try two demuxes.

I just hate having to keep building workarounds for bad muxes, poor authoring, and bad behaviour. In DVD Rebuilder I probably have a hundred "if this happens because of bad authoring, stand on your head and whistle while building" routines. I always call them "made the code more robust".


[Edit]

Hmmm... I thought that sounded familiar. I already wrote code to redo the demux individually... I'll look at it again -- but frankly right now I'm not sure how you can get the error unless the "redo" doesn't fix it in your case.

[leChameleon]

No overclocking is permitted on our production machines.

Even though it only has this issue on field based VC-1? Any other type of file works fine with the hyper threading on and it rockets through them using 100% of all 16 cores

@baudi;
What OS are you using? XP, Vista, W7?
I have an I7 920, using XP Pro 32bit, and have backed up many region 1, NTSC, VC-1 discs to BD-25 full movie and BD-5 movie only, and have never had a problem like this. I don't recall if these are field based VC-1 or not, just whats on the disc works. You will need to provide more info than this for any helpful suggestions.

I hate to put you through that. As I found from my attempt to repeat the error, the "Highest" mode takes a LOT of time.

About the HUGE undersize.

Last night I got reports from multiAVCHD users about x264 generating a weird output.

I tested it myself and couldn't replicate the specific case, but I got the same problem after trying different things...

I compared an 'old' x264 and the new one I'm using. 100% same switches (taking into account the changes):

* new x264 creates blocky AVC with bitrates ~50-300kbps, although bitrate is set to 5700kbps

* old x264 creates pristine AVC with bitrate ~5400-5800kbps, with bitrate set to 5700kbps

I have no idea if this is related to this case, but I can't find the reason it happens to me.

To test the theory of potentially system instability, I ran 2 BD-RB jobs (different software versions) and one other CPU intensive job over the last 24 hours. MAD MEN SEASON2 DISC1 using v026.3 finished successfully having the correct output size of 23.4 GB. CAPOTE running v0.28.3 has not completed and is at 54%. Note both jobs have the same setup and initialization settings. MAD MEN was the larger of the two initial file sizes. Max CPU temperature reached 28C. My other job not related to BD-RB is still running as well. The odd thing is that v0.28.3 launched x264 and seems to have hung, I'm monitoring the memory and CPU usage through task manager as well as watching Haali's properties graphic. I'll update later with its status.

DeanThat isn't the latest x264, and may have bugs in it that are now fixed.

If you're going to distribute old x264s, choose one before a set of major changes, not in the middle of them.

Your temperature readings are wrong, there's no way any modern CPU capable of running BDRB in less than a couple of days could be running that cool unless it is on water. I think you said you had an i7 thought right? If so that concrete's it. NO i7 will run under 50c under full load on ANY air cooling.

Download a program called "RealTemp" and prepare to be shocked ;) (it's a tiny program that runs from a single exe).

Also, when you said your production systems aren't overclocked how come you had if I remember correctly a few pages ago your i7 920 which has a default clock of 2.67Ghz...at 3Ghz!

I could be wrong on any of this...just my memory?

In all honesty thought your testing is futile and shows nothing of use to diagnose\confirm a problem\no problem. You need a proper stress testing program to really work it out. Try the multithreaded version of "Prime95", run it on 8 threads if you have HyperThreading on and are on an i7...If you can run that for 6 hours or so your *basically* stable for everyday use. Apologies for my aggressive tone btw just trying to keep it clear :)

It is a HRD-patched version from last friday, so yes there are new versions. It is that this 'new' version works fine for me, but "fails" only with *some* sources. I'll check later revisions. And - yes - I keep (use) a working one before the major revisions.

Thanks for the input.

[samtroy]

I really don't know, as I'm not using Windows 7. It's possible that it includes all the codecs you need. Vista and XP certainly don't. That level of undersizing is at about 7%, which is more than a typical delta for two pass. What mode did you use to encode? If it was one-pass CRF, that's probably about about right.

Thanks for your answer. I used two pass HQ.

@jdobbs

I got around to trying Madagascar2 again but it's still not working correctly. Doing a full backup to bd-25 the main audio is fine, as is the film makers commentary. However, when you switch on 'Animators Corner' the PiP appears but there is no sound. This applies to both TMT3 and a Sony 550. Tsmuxer says the sound is present and TMT3 shows the secondary audio switched on. I have tried playing the original and that is fine and appears to have all of the same settings for PiP using TMT3.
The only thing slightly different is in TSMuxer where on the original you have the videos, then the main audio tracks, then the PGS and finally the secondary audio track. On the re-encoded one (allowing for the missing non-english ones) the secondary audio is the last audio track but before the PGSs.

Is your Blu-Ray player's audio setup set to "Direct" for audio playback? If so, you may need to change it to "Mixed" to hear the secondary audio being played. I believe this is true for DTS HD Master, but not sure for True HD.( You will still hear your HD audio, it just might not be displayed on your receiver as such).
Thanks to Furiousflea for pointing this out to me. :)

[Furiousflea]

jdobbs...

Just an update, it seems that Pinnochio is now the ONLY disc I own with PiP problems (obviously containing eac3 and not DTS express).

For now, I would maybe write it off as a quirk of this disc...

[Eisy]

How or where can I modify the encoder settings ?
