BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

Hi JDOBBS,

I am a user of BD Rebuider and have to say that it is very useful.
The last version I have used in June 2009 was 0.22.03 and no problem at all.
I got some new ripp in July 2009 and trying to open BD Rebuider, I got a message: version has expired. So I have downloaded the last one: 0.28.03 and problem (same with 0.28.02 and 0.26.03):
1) all codecs are ok
2) When I double click on the shorcut BD Rebuilder to open it, I get a window on my screen: WINDOWS INSTALLER with the following message --> the feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click OK to try again or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package "Fms.msi" in the box below. I never got that message in the past. If I double click several times "cancel" at the end BD Rebuilder is opening but when I use it on different rips I have a problem of multiplexing (see 3)
3) Error message:
- Target BD size: 22.46 GB
- MOVIE-ONLY mode enabled
[21:51:56] PHASE ONE, Encoding
- [21:51:56] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00000]

- [00:41:09] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00011]
- [00:50:38] Reencoding: VID_00011 (2 of 2)
[02:22:16]PHASE ONE complete
[02:22:16]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started
- [02:22:16] Rebuilding BD file Structure
- Failed in attempt to multiplex: MUX_MOVIE_ONLY.meta
- Matroska parser: read error at pos 9831448576
[02:37:48] - Failed to REBUILD
4) I have tested 3 different ripps and always the same error and with version 0.28.03, 0.28.02 and 0.26.03
5) I have downloaded BD Rebuider (the 3 noted versions) on the laptop of my wife working with vista and no problem at all. And I don't get that window Windows installer on her laptop when I open BD Rebuilder.

So I think that the problem is coming from that message of Windows installer but I don't know what it means (I have windows XP Professional). And again in the past no problem and no window Windows installer opening. So I don't understand

Could you help me ?

Thank youThat means something else you installed has made one of the codecs (probably) a part of some other installation... That is more than likely also the problem with the aspect ratio. It's not an issue with BD Rebuilder, it is an issue with your PC configuration. I can assure you the WINDOWS INSTALLER call is NOT a part of BD-RB.

I would uninstall any "codec packs" you've downloaded. I would also reinstall FFDSHOW (to override any changes the other software has modified).

[jdobbs]

I have tried both Add Current Project to Batch Queue and Save Project, but both appear to not save the selected subtitles before choosing the Add/Save. Subtitles are just as they were, the default setting of BD-RB, as when I first open the project. Yep, the changes aren't being saved in the INI. I remember doing that now, because you can select differently for individual M2TS files-- and it could make the selection list gigantic (e.g. on discs with a 100 to 200 M2TS files). I just looked at a Star Trek disc I have and it has about 160 listed. Multiply that times 4 languages, and I'd have to somehow in the INI account for 1280 individual selections (audio/subs). That's a lot of 1's and 0's to put in the INI. I did it in DVD-RB, but there were typically a lot fewer choices.

One other thing I have to look at is selecting audio/subs by MPLS rather than M2TS. Right now someone who is unfamiliar with the structure could set different audio for individual parts of a playlist (individual M2TS files), so it could switch back and forth between languages as it plays.

Right now it goes back to what you have configured in SETUP when it loads them for batch processing.

I'll have to figure something out.

[Capsbackup]

Since subtitles usually take up very little space, this is not a problem, even for BD-5. It was just an observation I made from a first time test of this new feature. It would be a concern if this happened for audio selections though. :)

Ok I will investigate.
Thank you

What about ma question on High-Speed Option (BD25)? When do you use that option? No lower quality of picture?

[jdobbs]

Hei
Ich have use BD Rebuilder for two Film to make a DB-25 copy. The first works fine, but the second (VC-1) has wrong aspect ration. The Target has no black stripes on top and button.

What is wrong? See post #4752

[FZander]

See post #4752
OK, during the BD Rebuilder Installation I have new installed ffshow and all the other Parts from the description. If the Movie codec not VC-1 it works fine. Which codec I must uninstall and reinstall for VC-1

Thanks

[FZander]

Can I use a tools like Ifoedit, to only set a correct ratio for make a copy from my blu-ray with the wrong value.

I found a second disc that wasn't able to work.

Thanks I would recommend you download Windows Media Player 11 and install it. Then go into FFDSHOW and disable VC-1 (that will tell it to use WMV11). That recommendation is also on the first (instruction) page of this thread.

If you're using Windows 7... you need to search the thread and find links to the registry patches that have to be done.

I have Media Player 11 installed (during a update for my windows XP) and I have disable VC-1 in FFDSHOW like your instruction. Is there a configuration for Media Player 11?

[jdobbs]

I have Media Player 11 installed (during a update for my windows XP) and I have disable VC-1 in FFDSHOW like your instruction. Is there a configuration for Media Player 11? What O/S are you running? Also, have you installed any other codec packs? When encodes fail it is almost always related to CODEC misconfiguration (often by third party installers).

[jdobbs]

Just to report back: v0.28.04 (beta) solved the looping issue.
1-pass full disc backup filled the BD9 to 96%. Very good. Yeah, I had to go back and make a few changes there. Part of what I'd put in to lower the prediction passes with mb-tree had also caused the possibility of a forever loop.

[FZander]

What O/S are you running? Also, have you installed any other codec packs? When encodes fail it is almost always related to CODEC misconfiguration (often by third party installers).

I have Windows XP (with all SP an Patches). This is over six years old with many software. But I have a VM with XP (and all Patches) only OS and few tools. I must rebuild three BD iso with AVS movie to get free space. Than I can test a VC-1 Blu-ray Rip in the VM.

Another Question. If I rebuild a BD with AVS Movie source and target has AVS codec. But if I rebuild the VC-1 movie source is VC-1 but target is AVS , is this right?

Another Question. If I rebuild a BD with AVS Movie source and target has AVS codec. But if I rebuild the VC-1 movie source is VC-1 but target is AVS , is this right?????? The AVS (via AVISYNTH) will frame server the VC-1 source to the encoder. AVS is not a CODEC. The AVS script generated by BD-RB will use directshow. DirectshowSource() will use the VC-1 CODEC that is configured by the system.

Are you talking about AVC? All output of BD-RB that has been reencoded is in AVC (H.264, MPEG-4, Part 10), that's the only thing X264 will output.

By the way, did you reinstall FFDSHOW and AVISYNTH? If not, do so. I also asked if you had installed codec packs and didn't get an answer... I can't help you if you don't answer my questions and don't do what I ask you to do.

Oh big sorry, wrong letter, i mean AVC. The most movie from me have AVC and works fine. Also source AVC, target AVC works. It is right if source is VC-1, the target is also AVC?
I have all tools from your description in the newest version, without AVISYNTH (my version is 2.57) installed.
How can i show with codec are installed?

My latest installation was the newest FFDSHOW with AVISYNTH 2.57. and the other Tools from your description.

Ist was my last software installation on this computer before 10 days, but after this i was in holyday to yesterday. And today i have only update your bd rebuilder from 28.03 to 28.04. The one good BD rebuild and the one with wrong aspect ratio, was with rebuilder 28.03.

[Sophocles]

I realize that this is not a bug but it might have relevance. Using the latest version of BD RB (28.04( I just did a backup of Eagle Eye, movie only, to single layer DVD. The result came out quite satisfactory in that there were no viable or audible flaws. The operating system however makes it noteworthy: I was using Windows 7 64 bit which I thought there was an issue with so I guess jdobbs corrected it, and I'm certain that there are others here also having success with it as well.

[worknstiff]

File Plays in TMT3 & PDVD so I'm guessing rip is ok.
Running Vista 32 and no changes since doing lots of other encodes. Puzzled!

BIG OOP's : While I was posting my error on here I was also reinstalling ffdshow, hali & all the tools. Surprise! It is all working again. Don't know what Vista stuff was going on in the background to break BD_Rebuilder but now it's OK. Sorry

Some of the other software packages (like codec packs) that people often like to download change settings without telling you (rude, isn't it?).

[baggins49]

total noob here so sorry if wrong section..

used bd rebuiler a few times now and think its awesome but suddenly when i select full back up i get target size too small ???

probally something really simple but looked everywhere for a answer..

again sorry if this is a stupid fault of my own ..

regards

[FZander]

I have a new problem. I have a movie with vc-1 codec, but movie only is so small, that recoded is not needed. Also the process works fine, but the disk on my Panasonic BD80 not play. Is there an option that i can force recode to AVC. All my movie with AVC as source and target works fine.

[jdobbs]

regards That usually means you have selected too many audio language, and they (combined) don't leave enough room for the video on your target disc. This typically happens when BD-5/9 is selected along with a large audio list.

Select to "View/Edit Config File" under the "FILE" menu, and then add a line in the "[Options]" area that looks like this:

FORCE_ENCODE=1

That should do it.

Oh thanks for this Option. Just I test a rebuild on a BE-RE with Alternative Movie Only Playlist. The default playlist is 0003, but the movie is 0000 and 0003 and 0000 have the same komplet movie time.
Is this not works, I test Force recode.

hi

i got a big problem with a movie.it seems this blu-ray movie is splitted in multiple m2ts
here are the error i can see
08/24/09 [15:28:35] ScanDirectory() 00052 2601
the selected path exceed curent limits

it's an exented cut with added cut and normal cut .
an example:
00103.m2ts is the extended cut
00104.m2ts is the normal cut

can bd rb works on such an extended cut?

bye

ok but i selected bd 25 :-( i will keep at it.. as soon as i do movie only its fine ?

Hi

I got a weird problem:
doing Movie only BD-9 successfully.
Making ISO Image of the result on my HDD, playing perfect audio and video.
Burning the same ISO to DVD-DL resulted in perfect video and No sound.
It happens to me twice with "Race to witch mountain" and "Forgetting Sara Marshal".
It also happened in two different version of BD_RB with 25.03 and 24.02.

Am i doing something wrong?
Did anybody had this problem?

Thanks

[FZander]

My second try with the other playlist entry also not start in the player. Now I have a second movie with vc-1 and after choice movie only it rebuild without recoding an mux the original movie source. But this has only one playlist entry.
Now i burn it to test in the player.

The error indicates that the path you're trying to use for source directory is too long. Try moving it to C:\MOVIE_NAME instead.

[travhavlicek]

@travhavlicek

Hi!

Exactly what happens that you're describing as Power DVD "crashing"?

PowerDVD closes without any error messages. Just as if I'd clicked the 'X' on the corner of the window.


Have you tried it on a standalone player? If PowerDVD "crashes" on anything, it means there is an issue in PowerDVD. If it simply says "I can't play this" or "your disc sucks" and exits gracefully -- it may be a different story.

I tried burning to a disc and playing on my PS3 and it works fine. So it appears to be a PowerDVD problem.

[FZander]

Another question, what make the Option:
Stricker AVCHD compliance for movie-only

Have I the choice for play in standelone player?

bye That means that the place you have placed the source is too far downs in your directory structure (the total length of the pathname is too long). Just move it somewhere else (with a shorter path) and it should work.

If you're doing a full backup you don't have to worry about normal/extended cuts. If you are doing a movie-only backup, you can choose the one you want to use with the "Alternate Movie-Only Playlist" menu selection under the "MODE" menu.

[jdobbs]

ok but i selected bd 25 :-( i will keep at it.. as soon as i do movie only its fine ?

thxs It's still possible if the selected languages are (for example) LPCM or lossless. Selecting Movie-Only eliminates some of the disc making more room, so it's very possible it may fit then.

Thanks I've seen this happen on my Sony player on certain PiP discs... I'm still looking at it, but I think it may be a limitation of the player related to using BD-5/9. I've burned the exact same image to BD-RE and the sound works.

Got any idea what this means?

BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2601 [01:39:58] ScanDirectory() 00052

This happens when I choose the source dir. I made sure it's not too long (Currently pointing to c:\2\INPUT\GLADIATOR) That means "bad path". Are you selecting the path from the button, or did you type it into the INI? I can't imagine how the error could occur if you've selected it. I guess there's also the possibility that the source was unmounted during the scan.

[PurpleMan]

Didn't type manually, I opened it using the button and selecting it from the tree. Did it twice in 2 different locations. it's just files on the HD, not a mounted on iso, so that rules out that possibility as well.

I should also mention that after receiving the error and clicking OK, it seems like it DOES work, I get an updated bd-structure view in BD-RB and I can start encoding (however I don't know if it's only showing a partial scan or a complete one).

Another thing I noticed that may be the reason is that this BD has a considerable amount of files in the STREAM folder (more than the average disc, iirc). I'll attach the dirlist when I get home from work.

Btw, I posted a lot of messages, reported various issues and received excellent support, but I never stopped to say thanks, so I'll do that now - Thank you for your all your hard work and dedication, and your resilience to unappreciative fools who think they deserve everything.

[Furiousflea]

I'm getting this too...

"BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2601 [09:42:02] ScanDirectory() 00052

Can't remember which disc, my apologies as I put it aside and deleted the folder. Sozzle, will have a look this evening.

[vcarter]

live the others i got the problem with gladiator.

i used ts muxer gui to append all the m2ts.

all the multiple m2ts are not in the good order,and every m2ts are a part of the movie.

if you want the uncut scene you choose a m2ts,and if you don't ,you choose another m2ts.it's a puzzle

actually bd rebuilder can't ripp it.it seems they found a way to prevent ripping

[jdobbs]

I'm getting this too...

"BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2601 [09:42:02] ScanDirectory() 00052

Can't remember which disc, my apologies as I put it aside and deleted the folder. Sozzle, will have a look this evening. Interesting. It's only about 5 lines of code in that section. Everything is system calls to get a list the subdirectories in a folder. If you can provide me the name of a disc that causes the error I will chase it down.

Are all of you using Windows 7? It's possible it could be a new bug introduced in the system call for that O/S...

Are you using a USB attached hard drive? I remember running into a similar issue with a bad driver in the past.

[ChBrig]

Hi Jdobbs,

Could you tell me what is the new option "one pass (CRF) Encoding"? For which application do you use it (BD-25, movie only Back up? ...)?


Thank you

[vcarter]

@jdobbs

we all have the same error with the same movie:gladiator

it's splitted in multiple m2ts.

[jdobbs]

Hi Jdobbs,

Thank you You can use it with any of the quality options. The upside is that is will take less time to encode, the downside is that the output size won't be as accurate (likely there may be a slight undersize).

[jdobbs]

@+ The multiple M2TS doesn't really have any impact. I have that disc and I'll test it later tonight.
