BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

CURRENT VERSION 0.62.16 (July 21st, 2025)

Ok. I've decided to release BD Rebuilder for beta testing. Before you download it and decide to use it -- remember one thing. This is BETA SOFTWARE. It has bugs. It is NOT ready for production encoding. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you don't like it, don't use it... it is not being posted for opinions or comments, there is plenty of time for that later (after it reaches a level of stability that isn't there now). I am posting it only for testing to see where the majority of the bugs are.

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.

Please do not post any non-bug-related messages in this thread. I'd like to reserve it for bug reports only. If you want to start a "I wish" or "let's debate something" discussion, let's put it somewhere else, ok? If posting a bug, please identify your burner and playback device.

IF BD-RB DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU. JUST REPORT IT AS A BUG. Please leave out the "I wasted 16 hours of my time" commentary. If you don't know the risk of testing a beta you shouldn't be downloading this software.

You can download the BD-RB beta from this link: BD-RB v0.62.16 (https://jammernhilftnichts.de/jdobbs/BD-RBV06216.zip).

In order to make this beta version work, you have to first install some other packages. I highly recommend you use ONLY the versions linked below, as sometimes new version changes can cause unexpected issues. Here's what you need to do:

1. Download and install AVISYNTH v2.57 or above -- it is free. If you are a DVD-RB user, it is compatible, so no worry. It is required for BD Rebuilder to work. AVISYNTH v2.60 can be downloaded from this link (https://jammernhilftnichts.de/jdobbs/freeware/Avisynth_260.exe).

2. While not required it is recommended you perform either one of the following (2A, preferred, or 2B):

2A. Download and install the LAV Directshow Filters (https://jammernhilftnichts.de/jdobbs/freeware/LAVFilters-0.65.exe). Use only the version linked here -- as other versions may result in out-of-sync audio. While not required for BD-RB to work, LAVFilters will improve functionality and are free. They are required for some functionality associated with HEVC import and processing.

2B. Download and install FFDSHOW (https://jammernhilftnichts.de/jdobbs/freeware/ffdshow_rev4504_20130312_clsid.exe) and the Haali Matroska Splitter (https://jammernhilftnichts.de/jdobbs/freeware/MatroskaSplitter.exe). While they are not required for BD-RB to work, they will improve functionality and are free. After the install, run "Video Decoder Configuration" for FFDSHOW from the "START/Programs" menu, and make sure MPEG2 decoding is enabled. Do the same using "Audio Decoder Configuration" to ensure "Uncompressed" is set to "All Supported".

2C. If you decide to install both 2A and 2B, make sure HAALI/FFDSHOW (2B) is installed first, followed by LAVFilters (2A). This will prevent issues with HEVC splitting.

3. Unzip the BD-RB.zip file. Put it in a directory of its own. I'd recommend putting it somewhere other than "C:\Program Files" until it has been tested more (because of the virtualization that began with Vista).

3.1 If you are running Windows 8 or Windows 10 you may need to run REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT. In the installation folder (you selected in step 3), right-click on the file "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and select "Run as Administrator". You should only have to do this once.

4. It is also highly recommended that you also download and install IMGBURN (see http://www.imgburn.com) on your system. You can actually burn with any software you desire (that supports UDF 2.50), but BD-RB recognizes IMGBURN and does the burn for you with all the proper settings.

5. Read the LICENSE.TXT file found in the BD-RB directory. If you don't agree with the license, don't use it.

6. Please don't post questions or comments on DECRYPTION or ripping methods. I have to assume you know how to do that or you wouldn't be a beta tester. I also make the assumption that you will comply with applicable laws... I don't want to get in the middle of any of that.

7. If you decide to write to dual layer DVDs (BD-9/DVD-9), use ONLY HIGH QUALITY DUAL LAYER DISCS. I have found numerous cases where the same image works flawlessly with a quality (e.g. Verbatim) disc and fails (hangs) on a cheap one.

8. If you installed HAALI/FFDSHOW< Setup VC-1 decoding in the same way you did MPEG-2 in step 2B. For Vista or Windows 7+ using "Video Decoder Configuration" -- select "wmv9". Recommended for Windows XP only (but not required): Download and install WMV11 from Microsoft, and set VC-1 decoding to "disabled" in FFDSHOW (allowing the WMV11 codec to be used instead).

9. Please DO NOT replace the versions of software included in the BD-RB ZIP with other versions (e.g. replacing the 32 bit X264 with a 64 bit version). In doing so you are very likely creating a self-inflicted injury that will not be addressed as a bug.

Note to Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 10 Users: The first time (and only the first time) you run BD Rebuilder, you may have to "Run As Administrator". This is necessary so BD-RB can make CODEC preference changes in the Windows Registry.

How to use it:

1. Please note: This is NOT A DECRYPTER. It is a BD Reencoder and reauthoring package. If you are planning to back up discs that are encrypted or copy protected using other software (such as AnyDVD) -- that is a decision you are making independently of BD-RB and it is assumed you are staying within the laws applicable to you. BD-RB is meant as a means of backing up copies of discs THAT YOU OWN. It is NOT meant to be used as a means for copyright infringement.

2. Either copy the disc to be backed up to your hard drive or read it from the original. You will find that BD Rebuilder will work faster from a hard drive.

3. Create a working directory somewhere in your file structure. I use a folder called "D:\WORKING".

4. Run BD Rebuilder. Select the source directory (the one containing the BDMV folder). Also select the WORKING directory.

5. Click on "BACKUP". Then find something else to do... because this is going to take some time. My system usually backs up a disc in about 2 hours. You may want to consider running it overnight. Your experience will differ depending upon your computer's CPU and disc speeds. Why does it take so long? Because you are encoding at very high resolutions -- and they require a lot of work. Also, BD-RB hasn't been optimized for speed as yet... but in truth the real speed improvements will have to come with updates to X264 and faster processors.

6. After running you will find a directory in the WORKING directory that has been created. It will be named based upon the source. You must write this directory to a blank disc using UDF 2.50 format. If you have IMGBURN installed on your system, you can burn it from the FILE menu of BD-RB. Alternatively you can select "Auto-burn to Disc" from the SETTINGS/OPTIONS menu (and IMGBURN is installed on your system) and the disc will be burned automatically by BD-RB.

7. How good will it look? My experience is that rebuilding to a dual-layer DVD+R results in a backup that is virtually indistinguishable to the original. DVD-5's will work fine for movie-only encodes... and some full discs. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder and is very subjective. My advice is to try it and see.

I have done quite a bit of testing on this program, but in a fairly pristine environment. My playback tests have all been on my SONY BDP-S301, Sony BDP-S360, and Samsung BD-C5900 standalone units and a 60" Samsung LED television. I burn using IMGBURN on a PIONEER BDR-209D Internal BD Burner (which also supports DVD+-R).


Happy Holidays -- and enjoy!

THX! First BD ist running through. Will give Feedback when it´s finished..

[DVD Maniac]

First try not working, it keeps reporting "Retry attempts failed" for each .m2ts file it tries to process..... Loaded all the codecs so not sure whats wrong here?

[Dark Shikari]

It seems odd that the only encoding option exposed directly to the user--of all options--is trellis, despite it being one of the rather less important options both quality or speed-wise...

Just to add i'm running the Vista x64 codecs pack which has ffdshow and matroska incliuded. I assume BD rebuilder checks to see if both are present before even running? I couldn't see anything in the config page to point to the right path (as per DVD Rebuilder?)

[jdobbs]

Please do not post any non-bug-related messages in this thread. I'd like to reserve it for bug reports only. If you want to start a "I wish" or "let's debate something" discussion, let's put it somewhere else, ok? If posting a bug, please identify your burner and playback device. I guess it was pissing in the wind to post this, eh?

I couldn't see anything in the config page to point to the right path (as per DVD Rebuilder?) Try opening the AVS file with Media Player -- you are probably getting an error in the decode. My guess is that you either don't have the codecs installed or enabled.

[jdobbs]

Oh dear... you could at least enable 8x8dct you know... or is this intended to be a first-pass? Also, CRF 28? That's rather low quality... and for a target-filesize encode (e.g. BD-9), shouldn't you be using bitrate mode? How about we make it work first, and then worry about the settings? That's the incredibly easy part.

The first pass is for speed -- the second pass is for quality. The exception would be if you selected "Quicker encode for extras" -- then a CRF pass is done on the extras. It is the same as saying "don't spend a lot of time on the extras, they aren't that important." If you're seeing a CRF pass -- I would assume you set that option. The CRF is set based upon what it will take to fit on the selected output.

How about trying it once before the criticism, eh? My concern in this beta is to see what works and what doesn't.

I couldn't see anything in the config page to point to the right path (as per DVD Rebuilder?) It makes the assumption you have the codecs installed for FFDSHOW and MATROSKA. If you don't -- it will fail (just as I said in the first post of this thread).

[Dark Shikari]

How about trying it once before the criticism, eh?Criticism? This is what I had to say after trying it once...

[vwpassion]

Running a full-backup right now, results tomorrow... But one thing i already noticed is that bd-rb gets it wrong most of the time when selecting "movie only backup". Instead of the main movie it selects an extra feature.

[jdobbs]

Criticism? This is what I had to say after trying it once...

Sigh... so you're telling me you've already done a complete BD, right? You've tested it and it was done with CRF, right?

Sorry -- but that is B.S. It can't do a main movie in CRF, as it is disabled. You're making assumptions after running a couple of extras through -- and you're doing that after setting the option to do "Quicker encodes for extras"

That's what I mean by "trying it once."

[jdobbs]

Running a full-backup right now, results tomorrow... But one thing i already noticed is that bd-rb gets it wrong most of the time when selecting "movie only backup". Instead of the main movie it selects an extra feature. Is it a movie or a series disc. BD-RB selects the playlist that is longest... I guess it's possible that there may be something that is looping through the same M2TS files and appears to be longer... I ran into that once. What disc are you backup up?

[vwpassion]

All the discs I've tried were movies. Though I first used the options "encoder settings -> fair quality" and "quicker encode for extras". Actually all movies failed with this combination of settings, aborting right at the start with the error ""Retry attempts failed". I'll try again once this full backup is finally done (75% right now) and give you the titles of the movies and error logs.

[DVD Maniac]

Try opening the AVS file with Media Player -- you are probably getting an error in the decode. My guess is that you either don't have the codecs installed or enabled.

The AVS files are playing the source m2ts files just fine so not sure what that means? I have uninstalled all my codecs and manually installed your stated ones manually to be sure - same problem - encode is failing with a timeout message previously stated.

[MikeyBK]

I'm also getting an error out... screenshots below

I'm probably not setting ffdshow up properly?

[vwpassion]

First full backup just finished, unfortunately with an error, just after bd-rb was done with the main movie. Here is the log:

It looked very promising, but then failed with one of the extras apparently. Disappointing, but hey, I realize its only a beta. Any thoughts jdobbs?

Oh yea, the movie is "You Kill Me" - Region B (German version).

[MikeyBK]

Also, I am getting the wrong m2ts for movie only as well. House Bunny, single m2ts for main movie, but chooses a 179 MB vid
screenshot attached

[Capsbackup]

Having a strange problem here. Full backup of Batman Begins, NTSC. Runs thru the first 88 M2TS's fine, but on the 89th, something happens and it try's to start a windows installer for Roxio Creator Premier Blu-ray 10. I canceled, deleted all files in working directory, rebooted and tryed again. Same results. After canceling windows installer, it then skips file and says "Reached retry limit. Aborting." Then continues on to the next M2TS. Partial log attached, since I think I should cancel rather than continue on for hours.

I then go into the working folder and try to open VID_00020.avs with MPC, and the Windows installer try's to install Roxio again. Strange!! Contents of this AVS is:

x264 exits with the runtime error "76" and "path not found" (the dialogue box' title is OnePass264).

Also, if I chose "movie only backup" it wont decect the main movie, but instead 2 extra features VID5 and VID6, though the first playlist on the bluray is the main movie, so I assume this has to do with the looping you mentioned.

Edit: here's the avs script created by bd-rb:

#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.17.9 (beta)
DirectshowSource("H:\BLURAY\SOURCES\DIE_VERURTEILTEN\BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts", fps=25, audio=false)
LoadPlugin("M:\ripping\BD Rebuilder\tools\decomb521.dll")
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)


Can't open the avs with vdub either, i get the error "avisynth open failure: directshowsource: renderfile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me".

[vwpassion]

Getting to the bottom of this... Reset ffdshow settings and reset some directshowsource merits, and now vc-1 and avc m2ts files can be opened and bd-rb doesnt crash on those. However, the following avs script can't be processed:


DirectshowSource("H:\BLURAY\SOURCES\DIE_VERURTEILTEN\BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts", fps=25, audio=false)
LoadPlugin("M:\ripping\BD Rebuilder\tools\decomb521.dll")
FieldDeinterlace(blend=false)


Error is: YV12 or YUY2 data only.

Is there a ConvertToYUY2() missing?

Edit: Checked YV12 in ffdshow's output colourspace and now it works like a charm :D

I just made my first full BD backup on a BD5 => Success! (The original contains 81 x m2ts streams). The BD5 disk was filled to 97%.
Menus, Main Feature, Extras (quick encode), Subtitles, all are working with my SW player (I don't have a standalone yet for doing further tests). Wow!!!:)
The only bug (?) I suspect is that the 2nd language track is missing, although I selected 2 languages in the Settings/Setup dialogue.
:thanks:

VID_00000 is the main M2TS, and it appears to be encoding it. However, after 20 minutes and only 4.60% complete, I think I will cancel again.

Navigate to your working folder and try to open the .avs files with virtualdub mod or media player classic... if they wont open then its most likely a directshowsource or ffdshow issue. try to reset the ffdshow settings and make sure the avs scripts open properly. otheriwse bd-rb will not function.

File opens and plays fine with VDub and MPC, but starts a windows call to open a windows installer for Roxio Creator Premier Blu-ray 10, and then BDRebuilder pauses until I cancel this installer. Not sure whats going on here, but I have never had a program running call a windows installer for a different program before. Just happened again on a different movie test ( Wanted ). It skips the file and continues to the next one.

Wow. :( I'm shocked to see these kinds of errors... I've done almost 100 encodes in testing... well, I guess that's why we do beta testing.

Well whatever AVS files did get placed into the folder on a failed full BluRay attempt does open with MPC, but audio only. The m2ts files n ther also only plays audio on Arcsoft TMT.

FFDShow not configured correctly??

Is there a ConvertToYUY2() missing?

Edit: Checked YV12 in ffdshow's output colourspace and now it works like a charm :D Hmmm.. good note. I'll have to some checking on that.

[jdobbs]

Obviously I've done something recently that is making it choose the wrong M2TS in MOVIE-ONLY selection... I'll check that out. A lot of the other things I think are related to other CODECs that are installed, I'll have to look at those individually.

:thanks: Hmmm.. good catch. I think I've done all my testing with a single audio track. I'll do some looking. Good to know someone besides me has gotten a complete backup. :)

[Capsbackup]

What??? How does it do that? It sure sounds like AVISYNTH isn't installed right...
I don't think so since it encodes several of the M2TS files OK. I have made movie backups only with MeGui and tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b) and all have worked and look great. I will try again on a few other rips I have and report back.
Also, which FFDShow and AVISynth version do you want us to test with. I am using AVISynth 2.57, build:Dec 31 2006, and FFDShow (rev 2527)(2008-12-19)

[Dark Shikari]

Sigh... so you're telling me you've already done a complete BD, right? You've tested it and it was done with CRF, right?No, I didn't feel like waiting 48 hours. I don't have a very fast box here--all my fast CPUs are on SSH and they run Linux, so I can't really use them for testing. And uploading a Blu-ray to them would take a really long time at 50KBps.Sorry -- but that is B.S. It can't do a main movie in CRF, as it is disabled. You're making assumptions after running a couple of extras through -- and you're doing that after setting the option to do "Quicker encodes for extras"I simply reported the results on the first clip it ran. If you want to make it faster, you should really use faster encoding settings, not CRF (since CRF + VBV is... not a good combination). Specifically, the issue with CRF+VBV is that if --crf without VBV would give a overall bitrate of X, and X is higher than --vbv-maxrate, this can bork ratecontrol in the case that CRF is used with VBV. One way to avoid this is using a very high CRF, of course, since a high CRF ensures you'll never get such a bitrate. But of course a high CRF looks terrible and if you're going to kill quality that much, you might as well just downscale to DVD resolution.

(And seriously, why are you attacking me and yelling "BS"? I want this to be a good program and I'm trying to help you by giving suggestions on settings and such...)

@Dark Shikari

Seriously, can you not read? jdobbs has been VERY specific about what he wants in the way of feedback in this thread. Now, accede to his wishes, or risk a strike.

Again, just in case you missed it .....

Please do not post any non-bug-related messages in this thread. I'd like to reserve it for bug reports only. If you want to start a "I wish" or "let's debate something" discussion, let's put it somewhere else, ok?

Regards

[piratburner]

looking for bugs :-) ok will this SW works like tsMuxeR or is it only for encode with x264 ? i hopes there will be feature like in TsMuxer in this SW, GREAT JOB jdobbs

[blutach]

piratburner - you are missing the message, too.

it is not being posted for opinions or comments, there is plenty of time for that later

Next off topic post will attract a strike, no more warnings.

Hi!

I tried Harry Potter 2, US Version. Full copy. I left the Extras as the were and added at the main movie the german language and german subtitles additional to the english counterparts.

Here basically all worked, but:
the muxing of the main movie was not successful.

The m2ts file of the main movie is only 4 MBytes in size and contains the first 8 seconds of the movie.

In the working directory, the necessary files are there and they have the correct size. About 5.5GB the h264 movie file and 2 audio tracks, each having 700MBytes.

The BD Rebuilder Log shows nothing interesting. However I tried to call TSMuxer manually:

[Sharc]

Hmmm.. good catch. I think I've done all my testing with a single audio track. I'll do some looking. Good to know someone besides me has gotten a complete backup. :)
Probably my mistake with the audio. I was not aware that there exist sometimes different "brands" of the same language. Apparently I selected the wrong one!

Edit:
Although I selected the 2nd language correctly now (I assume), it still remains crossed out in the BD-Rebuilder tree.
Only if I select "All languages" my 2nd language becomes enabled.

[jdobbs]

Only if I select "All languages" my 2nd language becomes enabled.Good point. There are multiple selections for several languages. I guess it would be wise to put the most commonly used language codes up front (like TSMUXER does) so they are easy to find.

[jdobbs]

In the working directory, the necessary files are there and they have the correct size. About 5.5GB the h264 movie file and 2 audio tracks, each having 700MBytes.So it sounds like the problem is in the remux. Can you try to run it again and say "yes" when it asks if you want to continue from the last encode? It should try to mux again (only) unless you have changes some settings. If it warns "delete all files?" then it means the settings have changes -- saying yes will start the encoding over again (which probably isn't what you want to do).

Hmmm... maybe I should add a "two click mode"...

[MikeyBK]

I'm also getting an error out... screenshots below

I'm probably not setting ffdshow up properly?

Seems that this is not a bug, but rather user misconfiguration by me... sorry JD

Also, I am getting the wrong m2ts for movie only as well. House Bunny, single m2ts for main movie, but chooses a 179 MB vid
screenshot attached
This however is a bug , and confirmed again on another.

[jdobbs]

I need to probably add a bug output option that says how long BD-RB thinks a Playlist is... apparently some of the extras are somehow looking as if they are longer than the feature...

[vwpassion]

I've ran another backup and this time everything seemed to go well, according to the log, however two m2ts files apparently were a bad mux as they are 0bytes. When i try to resume the job, the same thing happens, two m2ts resulting in 0bytes (main movie being one of them). In the working dir all files (h264, audio, etc) seem to be ok with proper sizes.

Edit: Just ran another disc through bd-rb and right at the beginning, when it finished encoding a trailer, tsmuxer.exe suddenly crashed (encountered a problem and needs to close). The muxing seems to be buggy, if that helps in any way :)

[Dark Shikari]

I'm not sure what happened, but now when I start BD rebuilder and point it to a mounted ISO of my decrypted Blu-ray (Cowboy Bebop Movie), it pops up and says "Run-time error '6': Overflow."

[jdobbs]

I'm not sure what happened, but now when I start BD rebuilder and point it to a mounted ISO of my decrypted Blu-ray (Cowboy Bebop Movie), it pops up and says "Run-time error '6': Overflow." Where is it in the log? Does it happen when you select it, or when you try to run it?

[jdobbs]

Getting to the bottom of this... Reset ffdshow settings and reset some directshowsource merits, and now vc-1 and avc m2ts files can be opened and bd-rb doesnt crash on those. However, the following avs script can't be processed:



Error is: YV12 or YUY2 data only.

Is there a ConvertToYUY2() missing?

Edit: Checked YV12 in ffdshow's output colourspace and now it works like a charm :D I guess I'm making too many assumptions based upon my own setup... I've added a "ConvertToYV12()" line in the generated AVS files. I'm testing to make sure it doesn't screw something else up.

[Dark Shikari]

Where is it in the log? Does it happen when you select it, or when you try to run it?When I select the drive for input.

What log are you referring to? I don't see any log file in the BD Rebuilder folder.

Edit: OK, and now the error has magically gone away after repeating the same steps 5 times, but it won't recognize my BD disk even though it worked yesterday... rather odd. (nothing shows up in what should be the list of video tracks/audio tracks).

But it (TSMUXER) worked correctly when the drive was local. I never figured it out -- and didn't see it again, so I put it on a back-burner.

Let me read one down as an ISO, mount it, and see what I get. It really shouldn't make a difference, but you never know. I use Daemon Tools for the mounting -- is that also true in your case?

But whatever the issue is, it seems like a Heisenbug considering that it worked just fine yesterday.

By the way, another issue I had is that if I point BD Rebuilder to a working directory that it can't access, it will sometimes (but not always) shut down with an error message--and sometimes (but not always) be unable to start back up without deleting the ini file, because it again tries to open the unreadable directory and then shuts down again.

I hope deleting the ini file doesn't have any relation to the first problem...

No. It's a local drive.

[jdobbs]

No. It's a local drive.Could you try doing the mux manually from the command line? I'd like to see what error is being generated. The .META file that BD-RB creates should be in the working directory for each M2TS file. The format for the muxing command line is:

x:\pathtoBD-RB\tools\tsmuxer.exe x:\pathto\MUX_000XX.META x:\TMP

x:\pathto of course changes based upon where you put BD-RB and where you want it to output.

[Easy123]

So, ran a complete BD Backup that Night. Also tested the "Resume Feature", for which I interrupted an Encode and it continued. After the last Audio reencoding, rebuild fails with "Run-Time Error 9: Subscript out of range". No chance to take a look at the log because Application was simply shut down. System log only tells that the Application "hung" and was terminated. LASTCMD.TXT contains the Instruction to reencode the Main Movie (00000.m2ts).

My System:

AMD Phenom 9550, 4GB RAM, Vista x32 (SP1)

Sorry to report a new glitch. I abandoned A few good men and have tried Dirty Harry (simpler structure). Things start well (so hopefully this proves my codecs are now working OK), until I get to the 4th m2ts where at the end of encoding I get a crash message for "wavi.exe". Rebuilder error is ReencodeAudio 00006 and then runtime error 424 - object required. Might be due to AnyDVD settings so I will try another.

[jdobbs]

@vwpassion

Thanks for the post. I think I see the problem there. Apparently I must have used formatting for output of the framerate that adjusts for european decimals... I think it should say "23.976" in the .META rather than "23,976". Can you manually modify it and see what happens?

Thanks.

WAVI accepts input from AVS files so BD-RB can reencode them. Can you try to playback the AVS associated with that audio file (it should be an AVS in the WORKFILES directory that starts with "AUD_" followed by the M2TS number.

Yep, you're spot on. When I change it to "23.976" the mux is successful. :)

Will do after I finish another trial with movie test3 (Speed). A question on this seems important here - in the early days of Rebuilder I remember we had issues when vob editors and strippers were used as pre processors. AnyDVD's facility to remove "Unwanted Extras" may be an issue - of the trials you have been running, to what extent have you ripped "clean" or with pre processing applied - this is probably the root cause of many of the prelimanry issues we are discussing here.

[laserfan]

I'm not sure what happened, but now when I start BD rebuilder and point it to a mounted ISO of my decrypted Blu-ray (Cowboy Bebop Movie), it pops up and says "Run-time error '6': Overflow."I had started BD-RB on a mounted BD disc and it appeared to be working fine, though I aborted it after I observed it was working (would otherwise take a day or two to complete for my P4). What I really wanted to see was his Pass 1 and Pass 2 commands but I didn't let it run past Pass 1.

Later I thought to try & open a smaller Blu-ray folder structure I'd made already on my hdd (w/BDMV and CERT folders, not on a DVD5/9) and I got the same run-time error as Dark.

Anyway just thought I'd chime-in, and also say "Thanks!" to jdobbs for putting this present under our trees... :)

I think thats my problem too. It was 23,976, when i changed to 23.976 it was muxing.

@Jdobbs

Since I already had the movie on my hard drive, I tested on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. I removed all by the English audio track (True HD), and all but English subtitles.

It works! Playback is very smooth on Arcsoft Total Media Theater. I'll try a burned copy on a set top box (I use a HTPC, so I don't have a regular set top at my disposal right now). To select an audio track I've removed, the English stream continues to play--much as the audio remap feature in DVD Rebuilder. Subs worked as expected, unless I were to select a stream that I had removed--but to do so resulted in no crashes or glitches.

So for a first trial, I have no bugs to report to you. Bravo! I have one question, however: In your current method of AC3 re-compression, does it retain 5.1 mapping, or does it down-mix to stereo? Currently, my surround sound unit is down, so I couldn't tell during my playback and function tests.

[Edit] Whoops. While testing the output, I had closed down BD Rebuilder. To try and reopen the program again, I'm greeted with "Onepass264, Run-time Error '9.' Subscript out of range." I can't post any log since none was created; the error occurs when BD Rebuilder is trying to open.

32-bit Windows MCE 2005, AMD Phenom 9550 quad-core processor, MSI DKA790GX Mobo, 4GB Dominator Cosair Memory (seen by operating system as 3.5GB). Relatively fresh install, with current versions of AVIsynth, Ripbot264, FFdshow, Nero 9 Ultra, DVD Rebuilder Pro, BD Rebuilder beta, Slysoft AnyDVDHD, and Haali Media Splitter. Not sure if the system specs help, but hey!

[SpazzHH]

Where is it in the log? Does it happen when you select it, or when you try to run it?

Good. It sounds like we're making progress. I wonder if there is a way I can programatically enable it?

Just a stab in the dark here, but would that be easier, or perhaps a way to use the already enabled codecs that pre-exist? I mean AVS files play fine. Does the way you do things with BD-RB actually require that it be ffdshow's decoder that gets used. There are plenty of other decoders on my system besides that one, or the avs files wouldn't play. Right?

[Capsbackup]

Just completed a full backup of U571, NTSC. Though BD-RB completed succesful, all is not well. Original - 19.9GB, BD-RB - 4.10GB. Burned to DVD+RW with IMGBurn and played back on Sony BDP-BX1. Loads to menu, but menu video pauses and audio only plays for a few seconds before stopping and then starting again. Menu video remains a still image. Selecting play starts the movie and the video quality is beautiful, but there is no audio or subtitles. Chapter selection works fine as does FF/RW. Inside of WORKFILES folder there is an audio file that is 372MB AC3 448KBPS corresponding to the main M2TS and plays and sounds fine. I reload the BD-RB M2TS into tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b) and it sees the audio and subtitle files, but the sound and subs are not displayed on playback. Let me know if I can provide any other info.

[turbojet]

TARGET_SIZE=4369 and TARGETSIZE=4470 both gave Target BD size: 4.27 GB and Bitrate: 3,067 Kbs
I double checked the bitrate in lastcmd.txt so it seems TARGET_SIZE in the ini gets ignored and the defaults for settings>options> target is always used. This is also the case with DVD9 target.

For quick switching between DVD5 and DVD9 could this setting be in settings>target>custom size or something like that and have the ability to save custom sizes in MB?

[Sharc]

In a currently running test (full BD backup onto BD5) it looks as is everything is encoded in 2-pass mode, although I selected "Quicker" Encode for Extras. I would expect that Extras should then be encoded in crf (1-pass) mode, right? Could this be related to the observation reported in other posts that there is sometimes a problem with the stream discrimination (main feature vs extras)?
Btw, the Extras get a very low bitrate in the order of 500 ... 800 kbps, means the quality is not too exciting....
The Main Feature in this case is the stream 00000.mts.

[jdobbs]

Just completed a full backup of U571, NTSC. Though BD-RB completed succesful, all is not well. Original - 19.9GB, BD-RB - 4.10GB. Burned to DVD+RW with IMGBurn and played back on Sony BDP-BX1. Loads to menu, but menu video pauses and audio only plays for a few seconds before stopping and then starting again. Menu video remains a still image. Selecting play starts the movie and the video quality is beautiful, but there is no audio or subtitles. Chapter selection works fine as does FF/RW.

Can you post the MUX_ file for the main feature? The menu thing is troubling... are you sure the disc is good?

When you say "sound and subs are not displayed on playback" what do you mean?

The Main Feature in this case is the stream 00000.mts.When it is selected there are several decisions made. One is based on how much of the disc is extras and another if the original extra's M2TS is greater than 5GB. When things get tight it tries to get as much out of the encode as possible -- that's probably why it is doing two pass.

500 - 800Kbs is pretty low. I assume these are SD, eh?

[jdobbs]

When I select the drive for input.

What log are you referring to? I don't see any log file in the BD Rebuilder folder.

Edit: OK, and now the error has magically gone away after repeating the same steps 5 times, but it won't recognize my BD disk even though it worked yesterday... rather odd. (nothing shows up in what should be the list of video tracks/audio tracks).
What's happening with this now? Actually the log is in the WORKING directory... but based on what you're saying it probably isn't much help.

[TBL]

I finally tried the program, but couldn't get it to work. I installed the latest ffdshow (resetting the settings) and haali splitter.

When I press backup, it gives the following message:


BD Rebuilder experienced an error [11:24:58] ExtractAudioSubs() 00013

After that:

---------------------------
OnePass264
---------------------------
Run-time error '424':

Object required


Then it closes the program. If I disable all of the audio streams, it will begin encoding but will complain about the beforementioned comma in .meta file.

I can play both video and audio from .avs files with MPC.


P.S. Oh, almost forgot. It gives the same error with movie only and full backup. Tried also with v0.17.10

[Sharc]

Oh I see, it is not a bug then, but a feature. Thanks for explaining.

The 500 .... 700 kbps clips are 1920x1080 (original VC-1). Some of these get about 1200 kbps which makes these look reasonably good for Extras, wherease the lowest one gets 402 kbps only. I assume the bitrate is allocated in proportion to the original bitrate? Maybe some kind of redistribution will be needed in future ..... ;)
The planned resizing to 720p will alos help in such cases, I guess.

[jdobbs]

@TBL

I just updated the first post in this thread with v0.17.10 which makes a couple of minor fixes. Try that one.

All you need to replace is the BD_REBUILDER.EXE file.

[TBL]

@jdobbs

I just tried the new version, sorry to say that the same error still occurs.

[jdobbs]

The planned resizing to 720p will alos help in such cases, I guess.Well "feature" may be a stretch... ;) Yes, they are allocated based upon the reduction percentage. I hate to think of what a 1920x1080 may look like at 500kbs, though. My guess is that they put the bitrate at a point that was barely acceptable on the original -- and reducing just isn't a good idea.

Maybe I should change it so it does the "quick pass" on extras anyway. It still isn't great, as the CRF would be fairly high... but its probably better than what you're getting now. The downside is that the extra bandwidth has to come from somewhere -- and that somewhere is the feature.

The lowest Extra I got just now is 345 kbps for the original at 16 Mbps.
Perhaps a strategy could be to encode all Extras at a fixed e.g. ini-file user selectable CRF (default 33 or so) and allocate the remaining disk space to the feature. Or perhaps set a minimum bitrate of say 1200 kbps just in order to prevent 300... 500 kbps "accidents".
I understand that this thread is not intended for discussing improvements, though.:D

Added:
After all, it is absolutely amazing what the x264 is still capable to produce with only 345 kbps @ 1920 x 1080.

[vwpassion]

Besides all the bugs I have to report a success as well. I successfully backed up "The Kite Runner" Region B on a BD9, however the size is about 300 MB short of what can actually fit on a BD9 (7836MB). I assume the sizing is something you will fix in later and more stable versions of BD-RB? As turobojet suggested I would also appreciate a custom size option, even if it may not be 100% accurate. Going to try the new version now on one of the discs that had bad muxes due to the "23,976" bug.

[TBL]

I tried to change my regional settings to English, one reason was the comma thing so I thought to test it. Couldn't hurt.. And it actually is now encoding nicely, I will post the results later on :)

[jdobbs]

The comma thing should be fixed in 0.17.10 (posted earlier today).

[jdobbs]

I've tried numerous discs and I can't repeat a condition in which the wrong MPLS is selectd for MOVIE-ONLY. Can someone provide me with an NTSC title to use as an example?

[EDIT] Never mind. I found one. It has been fixed.

[jdobbs]

TARGET_SIZE=4369 and TARGETSIZE=4470 both gave Target BD size: 4.27 GB and Bitrate: 3,067 Kbs
I double checked the bitrate in lastcmd.txt so it seems TARGET_SIZE in the ini gets ignored and the defaults for settings>options> target is always used. This is also the case with DVD9 target.

For quick switching between DVD5 and DVD9 could this setting be in settings>target>custom size or something like that and have the ability to save custom sizes in MB? If you edit the target size, you have to close and restart BD-RB. It only reads it when it starts up, or it is changed via the SETTINGS/OPTIONS menu.

[jdobbs]

I just posted another update (v0.17.11) in the first post of this thread. This one fixes the problem with the wrong MPLS being selected for MOVIE-ONLY encodes and also loosens the rules as to when CRF is used in "Quick" mode.

[Sharc]

v0.17.11 improved my case.
The stream which was formerly encoded 2-pass at 343kbps and blocky is now 1-pass 946kbps. The quality is at the edge, +/- acceptable, although I would prefer to give it 1100 ... 1200 kbps. It's a short clip of 1170 frames btw.

[ron spencer]

gonna give this a whirl....my pc is a bit slower (pentium D, generation just before core2duo). If i am interested in movie only, should I be setting for single layer or dual? Just want to make sure using pc time wisely.

It's a short clip of 1170 frames btw. It encoded with CRF at a value that was fixed based on output size. You can st it to higher quality if you want by adding "QUICK_CRF=XX" in the options area of the config file. A value of 25 would probably do well in your case.

[jdobbs]

My general rule for movie-only is anything less than 2.25-2.5 hours is ok for BD-5... but it also depends on whether it is a high action movie, etc...

[Sharc]

The CRF was actually at 32. I set it to 31 now which increased the bitrate from 946 to 1100 kbps and brought the quality just over the edge. Excellent.

[jdobbs]

Ahhh... that make sense if it was encoding for BD-5. It's variable.

[jdobbs]

While that setting is there it will always use that Quick CRF value. If you decide to do a BD-9 you may want to remove it (or comment it out by adding a "#" to the front of it.

[Capsbackup]

Can you post the MUX_ file for the main feature? The menu thing is troubling... are you sure the disc is good?

When you say "sound and subs are not displayed on playback" what do you mean?

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --blu-ray --vbr --auto-chapters=5 --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "G:\U571 BDRB\WORKFILES\VID_00034.AVS.264", fps=23.976, insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "G:\U571 BDRB\WORKFILES\AUD_00034_4352.AC3", lang=eng
S_HDMV/PGS, "G:\U571 BDRB\WORKFILES\00034.track_4608.sup", fps=23.976, lang=eng

Definitely sure the rip/disc is good. I Burned it to a Panasonic BD-R with my laptops Matshita BD-RE 225S and all features play fine. Tryed the BD-RB encode to both a Sony DVD+RW and a Verbatim DVD+RW disc on both my Samsung TSST SH-S202N DVDRW drive and my Plextor PX 800A to be sure it wasn't a bad burn or bad disc. Both play back the same. There is just no sound or subtitles displayed on playback. Cannot even select subtitles to be displayed with the remote control. The picture quality is amazingly clear and undistinguishable from the original or the BD-R burn(of course). Cannot change audio tracks or subtitle tracks while playing from the remote either. The menu starts to play with audio and video, but after about 3-4 seconds, there is a pause, with the video and the sound stops for 3-4 seconds and then only the audio resumes while the video remains a still picture. The menu seems to function with the button highlights and you can select all highlights. Cannot select different audio tracks or subtitle tracks thru the menu though. The radio buttons just don't change when selected. When selecting play, the movie starts but with no sound. 1 audio file and 1 Eng. subtitle appears to be in the mux, when I open it with tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b) directly. Just no sound or subtitle on during playback.

Edit: radio buttons are changing when selecting them thru the menu, the screen just switches to the next menu too fast for me to tell. Sorry about that-my bad. However, there is no audio heard or subtitles displayed on playback or the ability to turn on the subtitles or switch audio tracks during playback.

[vwpassion]

The movie-only detection works very well now. Success with all my discs that I've loaded into BD-RB.

What i found not to work was changing the size in the bdrebuilder.ini. Once you restart BD-RB after changing it, it will automatically chose BD9 as output size, regardless of what size you've set in the ini (e.g. i chose TARGET_SIZE=4475, restart BD-RB, and now in the settings / options menu BD9 is ticked and the log reports "Target BD size: 7,72 GB").

[jdobbs]

Yep. I just looked in the code -- and I'd disabled it. Only the three default sizes are accepted. I remember doing that now so I wouldn't have to deal with all the oversizing issue I did in DVD Rebuilder (where people changed the value and then complained because it was too big). I'll enable it again (and hope I don't regret it).

[jdobbs]

Yes, Daemon Tools as well here. But whatever the issue is, it seems like a Heisenbug considering that it worked just fine yesterday.

By the way, another issue I had is that if I point BD Rebuilder to a working directory that it can't access, it will sometimes (but not always) shut down with an error message--and sometimes (but not always) be unable to start back up without deleting the ini file, because it again tries to open the unreadable directory and then shuts down again.

I hope deleting the ini file doesn't have any relation to the first problem... I've been mounting and unmounting using Daemon Tools and stopping and resuming at lots of different points. It seems to work fine for me.

Deleting the INI shouldn't have any effect. It just goes back to all defaults.

[ron spencer]

I am going to try a BR backup now....when I get home that is...is there an option to downsample dts hd to dts...tsmuxer can do this. Would save space for video on single layer dvd

[jdobbs]

By default the DTS HD will be converted to AC3. You can disable that in the SETUP dialog -- but even in that case it will be downsampled to standard DTS. My recommendation is to keep it as AC3 -- but there's a lot of people who would debate that.

Reminder: Lets try and keep this thread focused on bug reports and follow-ups only. Other discussions should be opened in another thread. Thanks.

[ron spencer]

ok.....arrived home and checked it out

I notice that for movies that use multiple m2ts files via the playlists mpls, that rebuilder will still only look at the largest m2ts instead of looking at the playlist files to build then...is this correct? I can simply build the movie first myself.

Should rebuilder be looking at the playlist files first or is this for later development? This is important as there are a few BRs that use this "branching"...I know this may not be a bug...just checking

thanks for audio note

Just a clarification for possible Bug Reports, the PS3 will not play a full Backup from a DVD9, there you can simple choose a m2ts file and play it.
However, if you burn it to a BD-R(W), it behaves on the PS3 like the original Disc.

Tested myself. This is no bug in BD-Rebuilder

---------------------

jdobbs, can you (makes most sense) maybe open a "Features wanted" thread, where everybody can write down his beloved features, and you maybe summarize then, what you plan. To avoid a lot of "will this feature implemented?" questions.

---------------------

jdobbs, Thx.

Bye

[Sharc]

I've been investigating the possibility of patching the output using AVCHD-Patcher - it shows up as an AVCHD disc in the PS3 but I then get error 80029945 when I try and play. It appears it may be possible but I need to do some more research.

You're right. I don't think it is a bug, but I'm hoping for a possible work around or solution that can be implemented into BD Rebuilder. I know that rendez2k has been working on solving the problem, so anything we can do to help out so that the PS3 works without having to use a BD-R (which is what I'm trying to avoid), then I think that makes the program better. Especially if that fix works for both PS3 and regular blu-ray players.

If I have to do movie only. That is completely fine. I have no problems with that solution. Just hoping to preserve menus.

[rendez2k]

Just to confirm - as Chefkoch_ico stated, the exact same folders (the full disc BD5 encode I did) burnt to a BR-RE plays fine in the PS3. So, can we trick the PS3 into thinking a standard DVD is actually a BR-R(E)?

[woah!]

i had a issue when using the tweak() option for color enhancing. the avs script wouldnt run when enabled, without that option ticked its ok, i am encoding now (so far)...

[Edit]Whoops -- no it wasn't -- I have corrected it for the next release.

[turbojet]

Is it just me or does every m2ts muxed from a 264 video file, audio and sup result in out of sync?
It seems to drift further and further out like its a framerate problem. It's not necessarily BDRB issue because an original m2ts demuxed/muxed with 264 video files has the same problem. As far as I know 264 container isn't capable of storing framerate and it's possibly the main culprit.
I have found a solution to it, that is using mkv instead of 264 to encode/demux to. Also fps from directshowsource and meta file should be able to be removed using the mkv container, I have yet to see one that needs these. Could there be an option or even change in BDRB to use mkv container instead of 264 container?

Also jdobbs do you want to make a feature requests thread or do you want us to make threads for each feature request?

[jdobbs]

Right now I just want to concentrate on bugs. I'm not planning on adding any features until it gets a lot more stable. If you'd like to start a feature thread that would be fine -- but I probably won't be addressing any of the suggestions for a while.

Making MKV files was never my intent. BD Rebuilder is intended for backups of BD titles to BD-5, BD-9, and BD-25.

[jdobbs]

You're right. I don't think it is a bug, but I'm hoping for a possible work around or solution that can be implemented into BD Rebuilder. I know that rendez2k has been working on solving the problem, so anything we can do to help out so that the PS3 works without having to use a BD-R (which is what I'm trying to avoid), then I think that makes the program better. Especially if that fix works for both PS3 and regular blu-ray players.

If I have to do movie only. That is completely fine. I have no problems with that solution. Just hoping to preserve menus. I would think this would be a bug in the PS3 that should be corrected via firmware at some point. A BD-5/9 is a legitimate part of the standard from what I see. What I'd like to explore is why a movie-only works and not a full backup when it is in the same disc format and file structure?

[turbojet]

Ya I can understand making BD5, BD9 and BD25 is the intent. It's my intented result from BDRB too, but encoding to 264 container throws audio and subs way off and I need to find framerate difference in every stream while encoding video to mkv everything stays in sync. I remember this being an issue for me a long time ago too with the 264 container, maybe its just certain sources. This source is 23.976 fps 16 of 17 streams have delays ranging from -7ms to -28ms. Manually encoding to mkv first then muxing to m2ts from mkv works fine without any delay.

Here's source (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mvjnmva5kmn) and encoded (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?lyybwmdmmmd) files. It's a 480i source that may also be helpful when/if someone brings up long gops and ivtc or alternative deinterlacer.

The feature requests I had currently could also be considered bugs I guess, they are:
- Use eac3to to demux 'seamless branching' BD's, eac3to can fill the audio gaps to keep audio in sync, tsmuxer cannot and more often then not leads to out of sync audio.
- Use original chapters so chapter menus work how they are intended to. The only cli way I know of currently is demux chapters with eac3to, convert to tsmuxer format, insert this in the meta file. TSmuxerGUI can show the chapters from a playlist, but I don't think there's anyway to get this info from cli.

[woah!]

That's because until you add the line "video0001" you have no default video to work on. Is this something that BD-RB is doing (ColorBoost) or is this something you are doing independently? I just looked at the ColorBoost option and it puts the "Tweak()" before the "ConvertToYV12()".

If you are experiencing this, the problem is probably more likely your playback software/unit.

Ya I can understand making BD5, BD9 and BD25 is the intent. It's my intented result from BDRB too, but encoding to 264 container throws audio and subs way off and I need to find framerate difference in every stream while encoding video to mkv everything stays in sync. I remember this being an issue for me a long time ago too with the 264 container, maybe its just certain sources. This source is 23.976 fps 16 of 17 streams have delays ranging from -7ms to -28ms. Manually encoding to mkv first then muxing to m2ts from mkv works fine without any delay.


I can confirm the framerate issue. My last 2 backups are both out of sync. Audio plays about 200 ms or so too early. I dont have these sync issues when i demux the m2ts created by BD-RB and remux to mkv (without adding any delays).

[jdobbs]

What are you using to play it back? Movie-Only or Full Backup? Everywhere or just the movie? Does it start out-of-sync or does it progressively get more out? What is the source (is it a commercial disc)? Are you allowing BD-RB to reencode the audio, or are you using the original?

I've done a lot of these, and never have had a sync issue except where the source (copy to hard drive) was bad (frames missing in the source). Of course everything I've done has been NTSC...

...remember this being an issue for me a long time ago too with the 264 container, maybe its just certain sources. This statement is what makes me suspect the issue may be something other than BD-RB.

[MikeyBK]

Well I have done two movie-only burns, one to a BD-5 and another to BD-9, and neither of them have any sort of audio sync issues. They also did not have any audio sync issues on my PC played back thru Arcsoft TMT.

I'm doing a full disc currently and plan to put that onto BD-9... and doubt any audio sync issues will pop up. If they do, I'll say so though.

BTW, Every BluRay I've tried loading to BD-RB v1711, has now correctly chosen the proper m2ts for movie-only settings.

O'T' ... Iron Man movie-only looks incredible on BD9:thanks:

[Sophocles]

I've been looking forward to this. Jd, could I include 64026402 from Hounds? He's technically inclined, lots of rigs, and generally loves this kind fun.:thanks:

[laserfan]

I've not attempted a backup yet as it takes a day or two for encoding on my PC, but in playing with it I notice after selecting a single subtitle the BDREBUILDER.INF file has a line:

SUBS_TO_KEEP=all

Wonder if this is a bug or might be a factor in calculating bitrate/final size.

Also, it appears BD-RB does not (yet) incorporate chapter marks. If I'm wrong about this pls let me know. Oops I see someone mentioned it works in Full Backup mode--presumably they're included in Movie Only also then.

[turbojet]

It's a playback problem I'm having, specifically MPC-HC issue, the clips play in sync in wmp11 and powerdvd 8. Strange that it works in MPC-HC when muxed from an mkv but not when muxed from a 264 file. I'll report it in the MPC-HC thread.

Oh is there any hidden settings that can go in the ini? I'm especially looking to use a bit higher x264 settings with "quick extras". I prefer the crf instead of the normal 2 pass for extras but would like to slow it down a bit with trellis, more analysis and more reference frames.

[jdobbs]

Not right now -- but I'll add that later. About all you can do is set a fixed CRF with "QUICK_CRF="

I would think this would be a bug in the PS3 that should be corrected via firmware at some point. A BD-5/9 is a legitimate part of the standard from what I see. What I'd like to explore is why a movie-only works and not a full backup when it is in the same disc format and file structure?

You're right. It is quite possibly a bug associated with the PS3. So, I wonder what needs to be done to get that in motion?

I'm also curious why a movie-only back-up works, but not a whole disc. Is there anything I can test for you? Won't be back until tomorrow, but I'm more than willing to help out in anyway that I can (or am able to understand).

Thanks!

[turbojet]

OK, also I don't know if it makes a difference, but I noticed retail 480i clips use High@L3.2 profile with 2 reference frames.

[Sharc]

Resuming an encode after PC shutdown did not work. I have to start from scratch.
Resuming worked when I aborted an encode in progress, but without shutting the PC down.

[prettyboy85712]

Is it a movie or a series disc. BD-RB selects the playlist that is longest... I guess it's possible that there may be something that is looping through the same M2TS files and appears to be longer... I ran into that once. What disc are you backup up?

Have similar problem with Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles. Multiple extra's features are incorrectly being selected in movie only mode.

[Sharc]

I run into this error during the 1-pass encode of one of the Extras. Not sure if it has anything to do with BD-RB.
- Error [01:-1073741819] returned from encoder. Retrying.
- Error [02:-1073741819] returned from encoder. Retrying.

Apparently retrying didn't help. A start from scratchg didn't help either. The error occurred at the same position. Maybe it's an x264 problem. I used version x264 core 65 r1061 839cd8c.
I will try again with an earlier version.

Added:
Earlier version of x264 (x264 core 65 r1057 5f8a149, shipped with BD-RB) didn't help.

Added2:
I reencoded the problematic clip successfully external to BD-RB:
- Created an index file using DGVC1IndexNV
- Encoded with x264, using CRF with about the same parameters as BD-RB.

Is there possibly an issue with the decoder / ffmpeg directshow?

[turbojet]

I ran into the same problem Sharc. In my case the problem was ffdshow couldn't decode a 480i h264 stream.
Is it an interlaced stream that it errors out on?

To work around it I changed to coreavc. DivX7 decoder would probably work too. Also maybe something can be tweaked in ffdshow to get it to decode, I didn't spend much time looking into it.

[Sharc]

@turbojet:
Yes, interlaced. The Frame Structure actually toggles between Progressive and Frame Interlaced.
I have CoreAVC on my system. How did you change from ffdshow to CoreAVC? By editing all the avs scripts of BD-RB?

[turbojet]

I disabled h264 decoding in ffdshow and coreavc was the next highest merit filter. You might also want to check preferred decoder in coreavc config. Loading the m2ts into Graphstudio/Graphedit will tell you what filter is decoding the video.

[jdobbs]

I ran into a weird one this morning. I found that X264 kept crashing on the same segment. I rebooted my computer and it went away...

I've done many, many 480i reencodes (or at least I think I have)... what disc were you running? Maybe in future releases I should include a standard FFDSHOW and AVISYNTH builds for installation within the ZIP file so we're all on the same sheet for testing.

[Sharc]

@turbojet: Thanks. Will give it a try.

Im my case it seems that wmvdecod.dll made x264 to crash.
In ffdshow I selected wmv9 for VC-1 decoding, libav didnt work.

I have CoreAVC on my system. How did you change from ffdshow to CoreAVC? By editing all the avs scripts of BD-RB? I was using CoreAVC in my earlier testing -- but found it to be too buggy. It seemed to drop frames and/or crash when it ran into issues.

[jdobbs]

I ran into a weird one this morning. I found that X264 kept crashing on the same segment. I rebooted my computer and it went away... Never mind on this... it just crashed again. I went back to investigate and realized that ANYDVD couldn't handle that disc -- and it was still scrambled (massive blocking on both the hard drive and the original disc)...

This is something to remember for those who are getting X264 crashes -- if it was a protected disc, make sure it is being decrypted properly. X264 will surely crash on garbage input. You can tell by attempting to play back the AVS file in Media Player Classic (or another player).

[turbojet]

Source I used was something like this (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mvjnmva5kmn).

I've seen a few video artifacts caused by coreavc and it seems they don't have much intention on fixing them. I tend to stay away from it when I can when encoding.

Oh for VC1 I use WMVideo Decoder DMO from windows media player 11. It's definitely the fastest and I haven't seen any issues so far, but I haven't tried interlaced streams. PowerDVD 8 decoder is another one.

[Sharc]

I was using CoreAVC in my earlier testing -- but found it to be too buggy. It seemed to drop frames and/or crash when it ran into issues.
If it helps I could upload a short sample of the source file which caused the problems. The rip seems to be ok in my case as I can play it in MPC and I could encode it via another decoder (DGVC1IndexNV + DGVC1DecodeNV.dll)

[turbojet]

Just finished my first encode, came out at 4369 MB, which is the intended target?

I noticed DTS and AC3 were encoding even though this was in the ini
DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
It did end up using the original audio streams so it was just an unneeded step in this case.

[TBL]

@jdobbs

What I meant by my comment that something else besides the fixed .meta file comma.

There seems still to be something fishy about different regional settings. Changing the regional settings to English worked. Tested with v0.17.11.

I tested a few regional settings, here are the results:

Working:

- English (US)
- English (UK)
- Swedish (Sweden)

Not working (crashes if any audio stream is selected in VID):

- French (France)
- French (Canada)
- Finnish (Finland)
- Swedish (Finland)
- Norwegian (both)

[Sharc]

I was using CoreAVC in my earlier testing -- but found it to be too buggy. It seemed to drop frames and/or crash when it ran into issues.
Here my latest findings:
There are some files in the Extras (all VC-1) which cannot be properly decoded unless I am going via DGVC1 and CUVID server. The other decoders which I tried (ffdshow, WMVideo Decoder DMO) seem to fail. These difficult files seem to have in common that they are not purely progressive, but frame interlaced or consist of a mixture of progressive frames and interlaced frames -- according to DGVC1IndexNV.
No problems exist for pure progressive files (decoded with WMVideo Decoder DMO).

[turbojet]

Could you post a link to a sample here and/or in the ffdshow thread?

[Capsbackup]

Well I just backed up Casino Royale, NTSC with partial success. I chose BD-5, full movie backup, and the rest at default settings. A polite warning was issued that there was considerable content for a BD-5 backup (cool feature/reminder just in case you forget to set/change from previous encode!) I chose to continue knowing well that this was just a test for all features and menu's to work correctly. BD-RB completed successfully, 4.20GB and I burned to DVD+RW Verbatim with ImgBurn. Playback is on a Sony BDP-BX1.
After intro warnings, etc.. it starts to play the motion menu but there is no sound and the video pauses/becomes a still image. However I can select thru the menu to all features, so all buttons are working, just no sound or motion menu. Not even does the counter report a time code. So I select play, and the movie starts and plays perfectly with suprisingly good quality for such a serious reduction. Audio has noticeable increased volume, rather than the lower volume of normal AC3 conversions I was use to with DVD ( cool!! ). Chapter selection has no problems and FF/RW works great. When selecting the "Play All" feature in the Special Features menu, only the 1st of 3 plays correctly. At the 2nd chapter the video does not display but the audio is heard and plays, as is the same for chapter 3 when it starts, it has audio only too. However, if I select each clip individually thru the menu, all play fine, with each returning to the menu after completing. It appears just the "Play All" feature is not working properly.

Resuming an encode after PC shutdown did not work. I have to start from scratch.
Resuming worked when I aborted an encode in progress, but without shutting the PC down.

We had a power outage here, and I was right in the middle of a full disc encoding, and I wasn't home to shut down the PC before the UPS kicked off... but when the power came back on this morning and I rebooted back up, BD-RB informed me that the project wasn't finished and if I'd like to continue..... and that's what I'm doing right now.

So not sure why it didn't pick up where you left off on your system? Will give feed back if the full disc BD-9 has problems due to this power outage...

[LowDead]

My first test was Full backup of the new Narnia. I was going for BD25 and all wasd going smooth until I encountered an error due to faulty decoders. I updated to the newest ffdshow, rebooted and continued from were I left off. Now it didn't complain about anything and were able to finish without errors.

When tested in my PS3 it played fine until the menu which had no video in it, just the buttons. Started the movie and noticed that there was DD instead of DTS (made selection in setup not to reencode any audio tracks). Went back to check again in settings tab and found out that the settings did not save when exit the app. Ok, back to the movie. Pop up menu worked fine and to all suprise when I pressed top menu on remote it worked with background video and all :) why not the first time?? Also i checked the subtitles and all was there but some had switched places, for eg. it was Dutch text when choosing Portugues.

//LD

Seems the subs have "moved up" due to removing an english commentary subs and thats why the languages don't match.
And it behaves exactly the same with menu on computer using PowerDVD..

[ron spencer]

well after one day Wall-E was done (just have Pentium D). I had to use txmuxer to join the MOVIE ONLY m2ts together as this movie branches and BD Rebuilder does not parse the playlist files yet. So it took my input and converted all ok...although the AC3 was 448 bitrate instead of 664, which is what BR is supposed to be I think.

Result? Well it looks real good on single layer DVD, although in dark scenes it does not hold up to quality as original blu ray...fast scenes ok...so I guess just dark areas not as good on my 50" samsung plasma. This was movie only as I think full backups will really impede video quality, but that is just in my eye.

looks good!!!

[BobZhome]

I did a movie only backup of Transformers 2007 1080p Blu-Ray EUR with no problems, looked great.

When I went to do a full backup, BD-Rebuilder v0.19.11 gave me a "Target is to small to continue" error, right when I hit the backup button.

the Blu-ray is 46 gigs:

Thanks for the help!

[gn2]

I know this is only supposed be bugs, and I didn't have one on my first use of this program, but I just have to say it is a SUPERB program.
I did a "movie only" of an .iso of "Twister" to BD9 and it worked perfectly, flawlessly, and the resulting file looked BETTER than the original disc, if that is possible...
Really, really, really good program. I will BUY this when its finished...

[jdobbs]

Powerdvd and sonic vc1 decoders fail on that clip too. I think you have found the only way to decode it and its only for certain people with newer nvidia cards. Guess we'll have to wait for a directshow decoder that handles VC1 interlaced for it to work within BD-RB.

[turbojet]

That's in case you change the setting... to prevent having to redo the entire thing.

Not sure what you mean It's enabled even though its disabled for safety?
I would think its intended to not encode audio if its told not to which it is in this case

EDIT: Isn't the configuration read at the start of the process only like DVD-RB is? If not, when is it read during the encode process?

[MikeyBK]

Well I finally had a failure... of sorts. Not sure exactly where this went wrong because the encoding seemed to go perfect, and the full BDMV folder launched in Arcsoft TMT perfectly, and the menu & extras all functioned like the BluRay disc itself..... however once I wrote it to disc with IMGBurn, the disc loads in my BluRay player and BluRay drive, but just sits on 00:00 and doesn't function.
The disc is recognized by both player and drive, but just doesn't function. The files output from BD-RB plays perfect. Not sure where this went wrong ???

I don't know how often we will see such interlaced VC-1 clips in Extras. Perhaps a motivation for jdobbs to put the option for blanking of unwanted clips higher in the priority list ;).
Perhaps a quick fix could be just to automatically skip such clips in BD-RB which cannot be decoded.

EDIT: Isn't the configuration read at the start of the process only like DVD-RB is? If not, when is it read during the encode process? The audio is encoded as each M2TS is encoded and I left it enabled (it is reencoded) for simplicity (whether it is used or not) as it takes only a tiny amount of time (related to the overall time). I also wanted to keep it there in case the encode oversized -- and then you could just use that audio instead of the original in the remux and avoid having to reencode the video again. But if you think its important to save that 10 minutes on a 12 hour encode, I guess I can disable it.

Does interlaced stuff have to be de-interlaced before encoding? Are you positive this clip isn't some unremoved protection? I just get massive blockiness when I try to play it back. I have another clip that looks just like this -- and the ANYDVD forum says that disc isn't supported yet. I'm not doubting the conclusion that it is VC-1 interlacing that is the cause... just want to be sure.

In BD-RB I deinterlace input with AVISYNTH before reencoding to AVC with X264.

I'm inclined to agree that at least for now we may want to simply skip these clips... at least until I can find a directshow codec that will play it back...

Interesting that the WMV-9 codec will attempt to play it back (as a blocky mess) -- but the LIBAVCODEC one will simply freeze.

Well, I am not 100% sure, but I didn't find any reference in the forums. What makes a bad rip unlikely is the fact that I can properly decode it with neuron2's VC-1 decoder suite for Nvidia.

[turbojet]

Oh if you can use the encoded audio automatically in case of oversized that's understandable, I just thought it may have been intended to not encode at all.

I'm currently encoding something that has 1080i VC1, AVC and MPEG2 extras.WMVideo handled the VC1, ffdshow handled the other 2 without any issues, except for dupe frames. So it's not every interlaced clip that has decoding issues.

For deinterlace or not, I think it would be best to analyze the stream, sorta like how autogk does it. If it identifies 1 of 5 frames can be safely removed it uses ivtc. If it doesn't find that I think its safer to keep it interlaced as opposed to deinterlacing or else there's a risk for dupe frames which looks ugly. I wish this type of thing existed in DVD-RB as well, but mostly where I see it on DVD's is in extras and they are often mixed film/ntsc or all ntsc which should stay interlaced anyhow, deinterlacing ends up ruining it.

Analyzing stream isn't very difficult manually, but I don't have a clue how it could be done through avisynth. I've also heard of 1 case where the stream was seen as 25 fps but it was really 24fps material. To account for that maybe compare 25 consecutive frames for every 200 or so frames so it doesn't take as long. If analyze stream isn't something you want to look into, could it be possible to have an ivtc option to force ivtc on the clip for both BD-RB and DVD-RB?

[turbojet]

It might be out of spec for that second where it turns into blocks, powerdvd and sonic both did the same thing at that point playing m2ts and serving it through avs, opening it up and scanning past the point it worked. Vdubmod, ripbot264, and megui wouldn't load the avs.

MikeyBK: what bluray player are you trying it on?

On a side note, ivtc was the one big feature request I had in mind right now. The others were having an ETA display for current encode or even project, displaying length of clip in H:MM:SS format on stream page, and resizing things to 720 or 480 (sub resizing being the main culprit?)

I realize bugs are much more important then adding features at the moment, I just wanted to mention them now before I forget about them.

Similar experience here (PAL country). I guess the most weird ones are those with a mixture of progressive and interlaced content. Unfortunately it seems that this kind if clips is not unusual in the Extras of VC-1 type of Blu-ray disks.

Sony BDP-BX1.
Funny thing is that the files are on my HDD and they play virtually perfect?!?~! ... except for no audio with the menus.

I need to look over the files to see what gives. This has been my only failed attempt so far,

Just did another movie-only to BD-5 and it plays fine. The video is superb and that's one of the major factors for me.

BTW, I also feel that any bugs that may arise should be the focus for now, but since there hasn't been too many, doesn't hurt to request added features for down the line.
As for me, I think I'll be going with movie-only BD-9s, because after such a long process the full disc ended up being for naught...and as for the extras, if I want to see them, I'll bust out the original...;)

[MikeyBK]

Well upon review of my burned full disc BD-9, it appears that I loaded only the BDMV folder and didn't realize that for a full disc copy I needed to add the certificate folder as well??

Is that right guys? On the movie-only BD-9 or 5, there is nothing in the Certificates folder, so I thought it was like the DVDs' AUDIO_TS folder...:o But there are security certificates and a backup folder in the folder on the HDD ...I'm learning trial by fire guys

Kinda felt that it was I who made the error, and not a bug... so I guess you can discount this as an issue or bug...:(
sorry for the false alarm jdobbs

[turbojet]

To be safe I think the certificate folder should be included in the image, it doesn't do any harm.

Finished second BD5 and it was 4375 MB, fairly accurate so far on size for me.

jdobbs I mentioned the MPC-HC problem seeking m2ts muxed from a .264 video. No replies yet, but until they fix it could you encode to mkv files instead?
That would fix the problem, and it shouldn't affect anything else.

[jdobbs]

I'm not sure I understand. The M2TS file that is created is actually copied as-is to the BD directory for creating the BD file structure... and that's the real purpose of BD Rebuilder.

[turbojet]

Currently it goes m2ts -> x264.264 -> m2ts = MPC and MPC-HC don't like this file and go out of sync gradually, go way out of sync if you seek. Every other player I've tried handles it ok.
m2ts -> x264.mkv -> m2ts = MPC and MPC-HC and every other player I've tried is ok.

I have no idea why this is the case but it is.

[vwpassion]

Found a bug. Source bluray is mpeg2 1080i. Now bd-rb obviously tries to deinterlace the source with a FieldDeinterlace(blend=false), but when the source consists of two m2ts files (e.g. 00000.m2ts+00001.m2ts), the script has an error, as it first attemps to FieldDeinterlace and then loads the source. Should be the other way around. Here is the avs:

@MikeyBK - Sony BDP-BX1.
Funny thing is that the files are on my HDD and they play virtually perfect?!?~! ... except for no audio with the menus.
I have this same player and the two full backup attempts, U571 and Casino Royale, NTSC, have had similar problems with menu playback. I do not play the files back on the computer though, only burn to disc with ImgBurn and played on Sony BDP-BX1. Either no audio or motion menu starts and pauses, audio continues but video remains still image.( post # 141 and # 68)
I have not seen anyone else post this problem. I have kept all the default settings, and BD-RB completes succesfully without any errors, so I don't think it is something I have done. Backing up Batman Begins now with BD-RBV01711, and will report results when finished.

Well, it was the Cerficate folder missing that was why the first burn did not function, and now the BD-9 plays when inserted into my Sony BDP-BX1.

However, like you mentioned, the menus do not have audio... and at times has a split second hestitation when navigating to each option, especially when trying the chapter selection. Very minor hesitation, but none the less it's there.

Omce again, the video itself is superb!... even on the extras, and for me that is the most important ability of BD-RB... :)

[Capsbackup]

Just tested Batman Begins, NTSC, full backup, BD-5 with BD-RBV01711 and it says completed successfully, 4.26GB. However, as with a previous test with U571, I get no sound from the movie. Upon insertion into my BDP-BX1, intro warnings play and Warner Home Video intro plays with sound. When menu is displayed, all buttons are selectable. Press play and movie starts, video quality looks pretty good considering the BD-5 size, but there is no sound during play. Cannot change audio tracks during movie playback either, as no pop-up or selectable audio tracks are displayed when pressing audio on the remote. Nor can subtitles be selected during playback, since pressing the subtitle button on the remote does not bring up the available subtitles. Same problem as I experienced with U571. Also noticed that even trying to change the audio track thru "Settings" in the main menu does not work. Radio button shows I have made a different selection, but if I go back to that settings menu for audio, the original, default audio track is still the one selected. Same is true for the subtitles. A previous back-up of Casino Royale allowed for audio and subtitles to be changed during playback of the movie. Also, whatever audio track was selected during playback, only the english was heard.( Of course I only kept one english soundtrack ). But regardless of the audio track selected, english only was always heard.( Unlike my experience with DVD, where there would be silence for the removed audio tracks if you changed audio tracks during playback). Batman Begins does have the option for English or English Dolby TrueHD, so my thought was if it was a remapping issue. But I am unable to change the selection. The audio file is in and has been muxed correctly to the m2ts file since when I play that m2ts directly with media player classic, the audio plays back fine, with amplified volume (cool). When I open the m2ts file with tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b), it shows the english AC3, 448kbps, 1 jpn sub at stream # 0, and 1 eng sub at stream # 1. Has anyone successfully backed-up this movie, Casino Royale or U571?
If this is or could be a remapping issue, maybe it is possible to have a very small AC3 file,blank or just .5 seconds of silence, to hold the audio tracks in place.( I believe what was needed to be done in DVDMaestro many days back for proper audio alignment of tracks).

Not sure if it's me (likely is) but i installed this on 2 comps, one was XP and one Vista. The XP one worked fine, but the Vista one would ALWAYS crash when encoding audio, seems aften.exe wouldn't work for me. I had to download a clean copy of aften (a few bytes smaller than the one provided in this release) and i'm able to continue. Ripped my hair out trying to figure out if it was some other codec i had installed that was causing the issue, but it was aften.

Just a heads up in case somebody else runs into it.

Hi!

I have done National Treasure 2, German Version. Basic functions are working, but:

- Main Menu is stuttering, and there is no sound there (thats maybe, because I only added german at the main movie)
- No English audio, does not matter, if I select it via Popup Menu via PowerDVD option, german and english commentaries are OK.
The original english Audio is TrueHD.

I now started over again, and added everywhere the german audio, maybe thats fixing a few things, especially the menu.

Bye

[jdobbs]

TrueHD should come though with no problem (but it will be converted down to DD) - but not if you haven't selected it.

Is BD-RB encoding a new ac3 track from a truehd one? (Did i understand this correctly?)
Are you aware that blu-ray discs with truehd have ac3 also attached to it? You can that and not encode a new one.

[jdobbs]

That's where I got the one that was reported as failing... but there's a newer one now, I'll download it.

@[SLiM]D12

Can you try the one from that site and see if it works for you? I use the Win32-bin version.

[[SLiM]D12]

I can but we'll have to wait until tomorrow when my encode is complete.

Thanks.

@jdobbs
Just tried a test from the back-up of Batman Returns but I burned it to BD-RE with my laptops Matshita BD-RE UJ-225S, and now the audio and subtitles play perfectly. I can select them while the movie is playing, changing subtitle tracks and audio tracks. English audio is always heard regardless of track selected. Reburned to DVD+RW with this same burner and same results as previous post, no audio heard or subtitles displayed nor am I able to select them while the movie is playing. So I tried Verbatim DVD+RW and Sony DVD+RW media, with my Plextor PX-800A and my Samsung TSST SH-S202N DVDRW drive. Always use ImgBurn and UDF 2.5. I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? I have made these same movies with MeGui, eac3to,tsMuxeR_1.8.8(b), and FixclpiGUI, with one eng. AC3 and 1 eng. sub, burned to DVD+RW media and play back is almost indistinguishable from the original. Now just to figure out burning to DVD-R or DVD+R DL with menus and extras...

[jdobbs]

Did you have the default settings selected for audio, or are you trying to keep the originals? Note: The "English is always heard" is how it is supposed to work that way for silenced tracks (not necessarily English -- but whatever was kept).

Are you using the latest firmware on the BX-1? I think it is version 010. It has some fixes related to BD-JAVA.

[Capsbackup]

Did you have the default settings selected for audio, or are you trying to keep the originals? Note: The "English is always heard" is how it is supposed to work that way for silenced tracks (not necessarily English -- but whatever was kept).
Yes default english audio track was the only audio track selected.
Are you using the latest firmware on the BX-1? I think it is version 010. It has some fixes related to BD-JAVA.
Yes, this is the most current firmware and I have updated to it.

[BZeeme]

I don't know how often we will see such interlaced VC-1 clips in Extras. Perhaps a motivation for jdobbs to put the option for blanking of unwanted clips higher in the priority list ;).
Perhaps a quick fix could be just to automatically skip such clips in BD-RB which cannot be decoded.

Added:
Not sure if and how x264 handles interlaced material and field order.
Does interlaced stuff have to be de-interlaced before encoding?

From the RipBot264 thread:

I'm having trouble using ripbot on Galapagos Bluray. The .m2ts files are level 3, 1920x1080 interlaced at 29.97 framerate. Ripbot seemingly demuxes the files ok - but when it comes to gathering information the program hangs and media player tries to open with no message - There is no log produced by ripbot after closing. I don't remember trying a level 3 file before - I have tried several versions of ripbot , starting with the latest one. All give the same results. Any help appreciated.

Reply from the RipBot264 author:

go to ffdshow -> Codecs -> VC-1 -> change libavcodec to wmv9
Unfortunately libavcodec do not support interlaced vc-1

I now set the audio options so, that all audio is encoded, now I have also english audio.

But the menu stuttering (and no Audio in menu) did not go away. I looks like this (http://rapidshare.com/files/177835748/bdrb_test_menu_stuttering.avi) (only 3 MB)

One additional thing about settings and audio:
I set in setup Audio languages to keep: English and German. However, only English is kept automatically. I need to add german audio on every Title manually.

Bye

[jdobbs]

Don't know if this might have anything to do with your problem, but which german choice are you selecting (e.g. "ger" or "deu")? It has to match the code in the source. I think "ger" is the more common one, but I'm really not sure.

[[SLiM]D12]

well after one day Wall-E was done (just have Pentium D). I had to use txmuxer to join the MOVIE ONLY m2ts together as this movie branches and BD Rebuilder does not parse the playlist files yet. So it took my input and converted all ok...although the AC3 was 448 bitrate instead of 664, which is what BR is supposed to be I think.

Result? Well it looks real good on single layer DVD, although in dark scenes it does not hold up to quality as original blu ray...fast scenes ok...so I guess just dark areas not as good on my 50" samsung plasma. This was movie only as I think full backups will really impede video quality, but that is just in my eye.

looks good!!!



I tried this one too, and yeah i've run into the same issue with the parsing of the playlist files. Is there an easy way to tell prior to starting a project if it branches like Wall-E does? Thoughts?

[jdobbs]

BD Rebuilder should parse the playlist correctly... what kind of issue are you seeing specifically?

[klas]

When it has finished the first pass BD rebuilder has been stopped and marked 100% of current progress and overal progress. I pressed abort and I resume and has begun the second phase and the correct % of both.

[[SLiM]D12]

actually jdobbs i'm not sure. I've only backed up Wall-E to this point, and when i put it into the PS3 nothing works, not menu, it sees the disc as a "Data Disc". When i use the same disc in my computer with the bd-rw it plays back fine, so i'm not sure where the issue is. I see others report this type of behaviour but no real answer at this point, off-topic to this thread but bound to come up again mind you....

Well I just finished backing up The Scorpion King, NTSC, Full backup, 4.09GB and burned to DVD+RW. Not having much success here and I am not sure what the problem is. Let me clarify - the audio for the main movie just does not play when burned to a DVD+RW, as with previous attempts. The main menu only plays for about 33 seconds before pausing, and when it continues, there is only audio while the video remains a still image at the pause point. I can select the menu buttons for the disc, so all is still functioning. However, after selecting play, the movie starts and the video looks great, just no audio is heard. Also, as with other backup tests reported, I cannot select subtitles from the remote, no pop up or available subtitles are displayed. Same with audio button, no pop up to display other available tracks.
So I burn the same files to a BD-RE disc, and now the audio and subtitles play fine, with the ability to change both audio and subtitle tracks from the remote during playback of the movie.( There is only the 1 eng. AC3 audio file that plays of course, but the button on the remote brings up the options as if there were other tracks available). The menu video still does its pause at the same time interval as the DVD+RW. However, this is not a big concern since I usually press play before the menu loop anyway, but I just wanted to report my findings.
I only have the Sony BDP-BX1 to test with, so I don't know if it is player related or if it could be a BD-RB bug. I use only the default settings, and ImgBurn.
I have made numerous movie only backups, not with BD-RB, and never had a problem.BDP-BX1 plays back movie only perfectly. I hope these tests I have reported can help track down if there is a bug, or if I need to do or change something, I am open to any and all suggestions. I would like to be able to keep the menus and burn to DVD-R or DVD+R DL just like all of those succesful reports I have read!

could your dvd+rw be faulty ? have you done a quality scan on it?

So, two things solved:
- thx jdobbs for pointing me to the additional entry for german language (deu and ger). When checked both, the preselection is working fine. Previously I only had "ger" checked.
- The menu stuttering disappeared, when I installed the latest update for PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra

The Sound in menu is still missing, but thats maybe simple a Problem, that the menu sound is not eng or ger language and so not be added.

[[SLiM]D12]

@rendez2k

I tried what was mentioned in that thread and had the same issue where the menu would not play. It would just play all previews and all else was fine, but once it got to the menu, it would cut out.

[Capsbackup]

could your dvd+rw be faulty ? have you done a quality scan on it?
I don't think I would have the success that I have had if it was the drive. Besides, tried with 3 different drives, and all DVD+RW burns experience the same behavior. Only has the BD-RE drive with BD-RE media worked. Even this same BD-RE drive burning DVD+RW media has the same results as the others.

[writersblock29]

@Capsbackup

I believe he's talking about the disk itself, which makes sense. Rewritables are subject to a lot of the same things regular write-once disks are, with the added downfall that they get burned and erased multiple times. Many set tops also give issues with rewritables that don't appear with a finalized standard (write-once) blank.

If you have Nero, go to the toolkit and choose Nero Diskspeed. There, you can run scans on your disk that can look for errors as well as bad sectors. If you don't have Nero, VSO software has a utility called VSO Inspector, which can do many of the same things.

Or, if you have another rewriteable at your disposal, you can try burning another copy to rule out at least that particular disk... but if you still have problems, where do you go from there? It might be another faulty disk... picky players... hard to say. I'd start with the error scans first.

[rendez2k]

Damn it! My latest BD5 backup is too big for DVD+R - can anything be deleted from the files to free up around 10mb? I guess the sizing isn't quite right yet.... should I try putting the default size down a bit for future encodes?

[Sharc]

If you have a DVD-R at hand it would offer about 7 MB more space compared to a DVD+R. You may try.....
My few tests (full backup) with BD-RB ended up in the range of 96 ...98%.

Btw, when you experience problems with the playback of BD-RB backups, did you select anything like "skip intros / jump directly to the main menu" for the rips?

I've had a couple go under, but have never had one go over.

One easy way to make it fit is to manually reencode the audio at a lower rate, or manually reencode one of the extras at a lower rate. Then just run it again, and it will say "resume?" -- when you resume it will rebuild using the new values.

A DVD+RW\-RW is NOT a good thing to use to make an a assertion that something doesn't work. Lots of standalone players have problems even with normal DVD-Video on them.

I suspect there are lots of Bluray players that are fine with a DVD9 in the bluray format but not with +RW\-RW media.

You shouldn't even be using RW for this sort of thing.

I just updated the first post in this thread with an update. The newest beta is v0.17.12:

- Enabled alternate target sizes in the INI file.
- Corrected the ColorBoost option -- in previous
versions it could cause the AVS to fail.
- Correct an error in which FieldDeinterlace() could
be inserted out-of-order in the AVS file.
- Updated the version of Aften apparently the previous
version released can have issues on
some computers.
- Added a hidden parmeter "MKV_INTERMEDIATE=1" - this
sets the intermediate file format to ".MKV" rather
than ".264". It is meant to support a certain
player that gradually goes out-of-sync (for some
unknown reason).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Chefkoch_ico]

In 0.17.12, was there also something fixed, that caused previously a movie not to start in full backup mode?

I have this problem with The Mummy 3. It starts normally, but when pressing play from the main menu, the screen gets black and nothing happens.

I was using Cyberlink filters but especially on this title, some VC1 m2ts did not decode properly, so i am running now with 0.17.11 the same test again but now with ffdshow.

Not that it was supposed to be fixed but I thought to confirm that the crash (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1228603#post1228603) resulting from different regional settings is present on v0.17.12.

I really like where this tool is heading, and can't wait to play with it more when I get my BD reader back :)

D12;1229289']I can but we'll have to wait until tomorrow when my encode is complete.Did you get a chance to try the new version of AFTEN? I'd like to keep up if it is working with your setup.

[Capsbackup]

@Furiousflea
A DVD+RW\-RW is NOT a good thing to use to make an a assertion that something doesn't work. Lots of standalone players have problems even with normal DVD-Video on them.

I suspect there are lots of Bluray players that are fine with a DVD9 in the bluray format but not with +RW\-RW media.

You shouldn't even be using RW for this sort of thing.

I see your point, well received. Just to rule this out I will try a Verbatim DVD-R. I was not implying the program doesn't work, just my experience and results. Quite the contrary, I am extremely pleased with this program and jdobbs efforts, and quite impressed with it's capabilities. Nowhere have I seen a program capable of complete backups of Blu-Ray discs, let alone free. Another donation is overdo!!

no i haven't done it, totally forgot. I'll do it tomorrow night. Got some BD-RE 50 GB discs coming so i can do more testing. I'll do it tomorrow for sure and let you know.

[mochevolete]

after a whooping 24+ hrs of encoding this morning I found an error caused by aften (from v0.17.11), the error log says: ReencodeAudio() 00006 ,
maybe this will be sorted out by the new version

a couple of questions, do you have any idea why it took so long ? I have a E6400 with 2GB of RAM, the reason could be that the BR folder was on an external USB drive ?

[turbojet]

jdobbs thanks for the mkv_intermediate setting, it fixed my sync issue with mpc(hc).

I tried target_size=4470 on 2 different BD's so far, one came out to be 4506 MB, other came out to 4569 MB both used quick extras setting. I'm retrying without 'quick' now. But I notice that x264 comes very close to its target bitrate. Do you use for something like this for calculating main movie bitrate in quick extras mode: everything except stream directory on BD + extras after they are encoded + main movie bitrate + audio + subs + overhead = TARGET_SIZE?
Is the method different without using quick extras?

[turbojet]

mochevolete it could be the external USB drive, but during x264 encoding the drive should be able to provide enough speed to not be a bottleneck. But it'll be a bottleneck when you demux and mux. What encode speed do you get?

[jdobbs]

Is the method different without using quick extras? When encoding without quick extras a two pass encode is done on all files with a set reduction ratio. When using quick extras a single pass encode is done that uses a standard CRF that should get the size reasonably close (but not exact) as an average. Then when all the smaller files are completed, the remaining space is used to calculate bitrate needed for largest M2TS (main feature).

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I have an issue with "The mummy 3". There are some problematic VC1 files. They play fine from the original disc with AnyDVD in PowerDVD, however, I get artefacts, crashs, or they simple dont play, when playing them (the m2ts) in MPC or via Avisynth.

So the encode also does not work.

I have read somewhere here, that with DGVC1DecNV, these files work. I have not NVidia card, but I plan to buy one.

It would be great if the AVS Scripts are all created at the beginning, so I can change the ones, which have problems to use DGVC1DecNV.

Bye

hmm I wonder the issue has something to do with audio or subs overhead. I had first 2 hit target size, well good enough 4369 and 4375 MB, but since I've gotten 4225 MB and 4464 MB with the defualt DVD5 size of 4369 MB. Lots of variance and I can't see anything uncommon between them. The 4225 and 4375 results had ac3 audio, while 4369 and 4464 had DTS audio. All had 3 subtitles except 4375 MB only had 2.

I have copied the folder to the local drive, the encoding is in progress and in this very moment I have a 10,10fps (40% global process)

Just ordered the card. Should get it in 2 days.
@jdobbs:
Would be great, if you could create a version which creates the Video AVS scripts in the beginning or dont overwrite existing AVSscripts, when resume a job (maybe optional)

I would really enjoy, testing this.

I'm in the same boat as you, donated to DVD-RB a few years ago and it looks like another one will be truely deserved for this.

Sorry if I came across a bit coarse about DVD+RW, just my annoying internet manner :) For all I know it might not be a problem, best to rule it out though.

[vwpassion]

Thanks jdobbs for the update. I've ran my first test now with a custom target size (set to 4475 MB), movie-only, and it came out 4290 MB. I had "Do not convert DTS to AC3" and "Do not reencode to AC3" checked, but nonetheless bd-rb encoded to AC3 from DTS HD Master audio (instead of using the DTS core).

It encoded, yes, because it always does. But which did it use? Post the MUX_nnnnn.META file for the main movie so I can see which track was muxed into the stream.

Sorry, the workfolder has already been overwritten now, since am running another test. But bd-rb used the AC3 that it encoded from the DTS Master HD audio (448 kbps).

can someone advise how to go about encoding interlaced vc1 please..

i want to do a full disc back-up but the 1080i vc1 content in extras is stopping me.

[[SLiM]D12]

after a whooping 24+ hrs of encoding this morning I found an error caused by aften (from v0.17.11), the error log says: ReencodeAudio() 00006 ,

This is the error i was getting. I upgraded my version of Aften and it solved the problem. I will test the newest version later tonight when my encode is complete.

[Furiousflea]

jdobbs, top program along with DVD-RB.

Got a quick question, it's not bug report as such but sort of in that area as I don't think it should be happening.

The setup menu in BD-Rebuilder seems to imply that it is possible to keep the original audio track and mux that back to the encoded video without re-encoding. However I've tried all options and every time when I analyse the output of BD-Rebuilder all my audio tracks are Dolby Digtal encoded at 448kbps.

I understand this might have been your intention? But I would request that you maybe consider leaving the option to the user if they want to re-encode the audio at all or leave it as even DTS-MA audio is well within spec to play back on a BD9 (I understand the spec allows for up to 3x DVD speed = around 30mbit total peak sustained).

I understand you may not want to do this though for compatability sake but I would ask that BD-Rebuilder doesn't just encode all audio streams at 448k. It's even encoding STEREO Dolby Digital tracks at this rate when the original was much lower, a complete waste of space.

Finally I believe the lowest bit rate for audio to be classed as "HD" is 640k Dolby Digital on Blu-Ray, or at least that is what nearly all films are encoded at as a bare minimum.

The difference in space required for a 640k audio track compared to a 448k audio track is minimal, but the difference in quality is actually a fair bit when you are re-encoding a DTS-MA\Lossless audio track for example.

Would really appreciate you chaning the 448k -> 640k and I'm sure others would agree.

Just leaves the STEREO encoding at 448k...Surely this should be 192k? Or even lower?

Many thanks for the great program and hope I didn't come across as a whinging old man. Just think they would be very good things to put in place.

You had my donation for DVD-RB and will definately have it for this, cheers again old boot.

[jdobbs]

can someone advise how to go about encoding interlaced vc1 please..

i want to do a full disc back-up but the 1080i vc1 content in extras is stopping me. If you're using Vista, you can use the standard CODEC (WMV9) to decode (I believe). Just make sure it isn't set to LIBAVCODEC in FFDSHOW.

[jdobbs]

Would really appreciate you chaning the 448k -> 640k and I'm sure others would agree.I personally don't think it is detectable... and that's why I set it to 448k. That extra 192Kbs can make a difference in the video quality. But I'll make 640k an option for the reencoding. As for the "keeping the original" -- it worked in my testing, but I'll check it again.

[jdobbs]

I see what happened with the "Do not reencode" options. If you change them, you have to exit BD-RB and reenter... I didn't reset the flags from the intial scan. I'll see what I can do to fix it, but in the meantime you can make it work by setting it the way you want it, and then exiting BD-RB and restarting. It will keep the settings after that.

[jdobbs]

same issue here..:confused:Has anyone found a cure for the issue of VC-1 interlaced sources? I just ran into it when I tried to backup my copy of "Band of Brothers" -- it has several M2TS files that "block out" when you try to play them on your computer. I'd made the assumption it was protection before we started that discussion. LIBAVCODEC fails and so does WMV9.

[Atak_Snajpera]

BTW. How do you fix audio gaps?

I have written and testet a small batch file, which, if you would run it from within BD-Rebuilder, automatically demuxes video streams, indexes it with for example DGAVCDec and creates the proper AVS entries.

I have sent it to you via mail.

This has 2 benefits:
- to be independend from DirectShow Filters (with no NVidia card, at least MPG2 and AVC dont need DS Filters)
- and to solve the Interlace VC1 problem with DGVC1DecNV (Too bad, NV only, dont know if it works, my card comes in a few days)

I hope this is useful for you, as I really want to get rid of this DirectShow Filter mess. Feel free to use it.

Tested tonight what was going to happen if I crammed 48GB disc into a BD5. I knew this was not going to be good but I had some interesting results.

First of all I had a little oversize.. It ended up 18GB :rolleyes:

Well upon loading the disc I saw that the BR propaganda "extras" had the expected bitrate of ~150kbit. Menu was fine, main movie also with a 8-10Mbit bitrate. Then when I looked at the extras for the movie came the big suprise. Great picture with a whopping 20Mbit peaks.. Only problem was pixelation at scene changes which the BD25 test of the same disc did not have.

Looking at the log most of the segments would have been encoded with a negative bitrate. Also I got an retry error with abort which did not happen when I did the BD25 test.

I'm not sure this has been addressed, but a very nice feature would be "turn off cpu when finished"

Thanks for all your hard work on this program! I am sure this is much needed by many and myself...:)

[KarstenS]

It encoded, yes, because it always does. But which did it use? Post the MUX_nnnnn.META file for the main movie so I can see which track was muxed into the stream.

I can confirm that problem with not encoding sound options. I also did select both and tried "Enchanted" with DTS (german). On this disk, the movie is split in round about 20 files with sizes between 90MB and 7000MB. Nearly 1/3 of the files got DTS muxed (all of them are files with small size). The other 2/3 got the recoded AC3 sound muxed. So I got a main movie with some parts DTS and other parts AC3.

Actually I am not at home. I can post the META files on sunday, if needed. But I already did a look into them. The files says to mux the DTS track where DTS got muxed and says to mux the AC3 track, where the reencoded AC3 got muxed.

but in the meantime you can make it work by setting it the way you want it, and then exiting BD-RB and restarting.

This I already did before reencoding the Disk. No difference.

[BZeeme]

As a test I backed up a 2.5 hour Blu-ray in movie only mode to a DVD-5. Plays well on both Panasonic BD30 and Sony S350. As a torture test I ran the same disc in Full backup mode (still to a DVD-5). Came out a little oversize - 23+ GB. The main m2ts went from 30.1 GB to 19.1 GB. I kept the working files if you need any more info.

[mochevolete]

I purposefully put the target under the max -- as I've had lots of issues with writing to outer edges of DVD+-Rs. I do the same in DVD-RB. I think the amount it is off is what I use to estimate M2TS multiplexing overhead. I was planning to tweak it later.

I guess I'm out of the discussions on audio gaps -- I haven't seen any sync issues on my encodes... when does it happen? Do you mean the possibility of a different PTS in tha audio stream than in the video?

Just tried BD Rebuilder with "Casino Royale" which shipped with my LG drive and everything plays fine. Only the menu has no sound like others have reported, too. So i launched MediaInfo and saw that the Menu is MPEG-2 and has PCM sound which BD Rebuilder is currently not able to copy / re-encode. Is that right or did i just miss something in the settings? Sorry if this has already been answered.

Thanks for this great software!

[jdobbs]

Hmmm... it should... but apparently something I did recently may have had an effect that. I haven't seen any issues personally though. Menu M2TS files have always had the original audio passed through (that's because I found that the sound effects of the BD-J would disappear if I changed it).

[Capsbackup]

Just a follow up to a previous post a few back regarding DVD+RW media possible being the cause of a back-up not playing the audio or subtitles of the main movie for The Scorpion King, full backup. The same results were experienced after burning to Verbatim DVD-R media. I am going to try to either check with some friends to see if they have a Blu-Ray, or try my local Best Buy, to see if this disc will work on any other players other than the Sony BDP-BX1. I am hoping to find out if it is a player issue or something else, since I have had this happen on 3 of my 5 initial full back-up tests.

[wakebrder]

Great Work Jdobbs! Nice to see you on the BD side of things.:)

I just did Sharkwater last night. (MPEG 2 1080i)

Put the disc in my Panasonic DMP-BD35. I get FBI warning, the Warner splash screen. About 2 minutes of black screen with no audio.(that I cannot skip through), and finally the top menu.

I can navigate through the menu, but when I select play movie or a specific scene, I get a quick flash of red screen, then the disc stops.:confused:

I'll give some more discs a shot this weekend. Thanks again!!

Hello,

i`m trying the reencode a PAL movie. I have the following problem.

Rebuilder is saying that the Input BD size is 1400 GB

So wenn i select full backup, Rebuilder is saying target is to small. Wenn I select main movie only it doenst.

Every video title is 4000. When I open a video set I can see which one is the main movie but I don`t think Rebuilder can see it.


Sorry for my bad English. I`m dutch. I`ll post a screen shot later this night to make it a bit more clear.

Hmmm... it should... but apparently something I did recently may have had an effect that. I haven't seen any issues personally though. Menu M2TS files have always had the original audio passed through (that's because I found that the sound effects of the BD-J would disappear if I changed it).

Hmmm...seems like its my bad. I set BD-RB to keep all Audio Tracks and subtitle languages. But LPCM audio is not enabled by default. Kinda makes sense because it is a lot of uncompressed audio data and i could save that space for extra movie quality. I will only enable it for the menu now and see what happens. Will try a new attempt with 0.17.12. See you in 26 hours :-)

I have written and testet a small batch file, which, if you would run it from within BD-Rebuilder, automatically demuxes video streams, indexes it with for example DGAVCDec and creates the proper AVS entries.

I have sent it to you via mail.

This has 2 benefits:
- to be independend from DirectShow Filters (with no NVidia card, at least MPG2 and AVC dont need DS Filters)
- and to solve the Interlace VC1 problem with DGVC1DecNV (Too bad, NV only, dont know if it works, my card comes in a few days)

I hope this is useful for you, as I really want to get rid of this DirectShow Filter mess. Feel free to use it.


I added it here also, if someone can make it better, feel free to modify.

I hope its soon possible to use this script with BD-rebuilder.

Thanks for your earlier response jdobbs.

Got another little bug\possibly unavoidable.

As I'm sure you're aware most extras are encoded in mpeg2 at 576i\480i. Often these extras contain live action material that is 59.97fps\50fps interlaced. When this is run through BD-Rebuilder it encodes it as MPEG-4 AVC, which is a good thing. But it seems that it deinterlaces and encodes as a progressive 25\29.97fps.

Fine for a lot of stuff but due to the nature of "extras" they are very often intended to be watched at live action video frame rates like with "making of"'s and so on.

Is there anything that can be done about this, maybe encoding extras and leaving them interlaced? Maybe this is simply something that has to be tolerated?

Many thanks for any advice\feedback on this issue\maybe not an issue :)

[datman]

Well I did Wall-E, it worked perfect.:thanks: I have to say it looked, sounded very good and played perfect. I guess it looked slightly worse than the 20.1g BDfile I processed it from but looked pretty dam good. It did a great job on the sound, converting DTS-HD to 448kbps.

Took 14 hours to process nect time I'll try dvd-9

Another follow up to my previous post #243 above. Just made a visit to the local Fry's store to test The Scorpion King, full backup burned on DVD-R from ImgBurn. Tried several players with only one that plays the audio from the main movie.
LG BD300 - Ejects disc and says incompatible disc.
Samsung BD-2550 - incompatible disc.
Panasonic DMP-BD30 - ejects disc and says incompatible disc.
Panasonic DMP-BD35 - just stops after inserting disc.
Sony BDP-S350 - plays disc with audio for preview and main menu, no audio for the main movie though( same as BDP-BX1)
Sony BDP-S300 - plays all audio, even the main movie!! :)
I believe jdobbs has the Sony BDP-S300, and has reported many(100+) successful backups.
Not tested on a PS3 but I will soon.
So it appears different players have different compatibility levels. I know jdobbs will have a new challenge ahead for the "New Year".

[02:15:29] BD Rebuilder v0.17.12 (beta)
- Input BD size: 1.424,00 GB
- Approximate total content: [02:27:18.629]
- Target BD size: 4,27 GB
- Target too small. Encode stopped.


This is what rebuilder tells me. And ALL the video sets are 4.096 MB size even the main movie which is around 44 GB!!

[~bT~]

change target to bd9.

edit: sorry, i thought it read 14gb.

[Capsbackup]

Recently finished a back up of Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest bonus disc, NTSC, full movie, to BD-5. All but 1 small M2TS reports 480i, with 1 M2TS 1080P(11.04MB). BD-RB completes successfully.Burned to DVD+RW and playback on Sony BDP-BX1, all works and plays back fine( for 480i content!). However, original disc is 10.89GB, BD-RB files are 2.81GB. Now this is not a big concern since I normally do not care about 480i content, but since some previous posts with interlaced content may have had some problems, I thought I would give this a try since this was the only one I had with obvious interlaced content to test. Quite a bit undersized, but quality was not bad.

I have only had a 1 for 1 success so this may be premature.

All of my BD backups have been ripped, remuxed and converted to ISOs. To work from these files may be better than from the originals because the menu,trailers and all that other crap has been dealt with

Either that or I need to convince everybody else to buy Sony players. Hmmm... actually that may be a good idea -- to force the others to either get compatible with BD-5/9 or die a slow death. ;)

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs,
Sony players seem to have better play back results for AVCHD, even when I tested some Sony HD camcorder footage to AVCHD DVD-R discs awhile back, which is why I purchased my Sony to begin with. I did these same compatibility tests then, before I started trying Blu-Ray backups. Movie only backups have never been a problem on the 25+ previous attempts I have made using MeGui, eac3to and tsMuxeR. Just the full movie main audio playback quirk I have experienced and shared in the previous posts. Your program just makes it so much easier. I am looking forward to your programs continued success, and hope my input helps. You have made BD backups very simple for anyone, and I appreciate your efforts greatly!!

Hi,
I had a power cut at about 90% of the first pass and the encode didn't resume, so I had to start again.
Does the resume function only work with the second pass?
davidcw

[gn2]

Not sure how to report the bug I've encountered, so I'll just relate what's happened.

Tried a full backup of "Me, Myself, and Irene" everything appeared to go well, all files were re-encoded, chose BD-9 as the size and auto burned to disc with IMG burn. All went perfectly except it wouldn't play back as a BD in PS3. PS3 reports it as a data disc only, no auto-play, no menu's, etc.

I can navigate through the file structure of the disc to the main movie file and play that back fine, but I don't have any way to get it to recognize it as a BD disc with menu's and extra's etc.

Is there some kind of report or something you need to help you with this ?

Burned with an GSA-H10A dvd burner on Ritek DVD+R DL media called TDK, playback on a PS3 with newest firmware.

In the second pass d´ont work. I thing this function is diseable in the version 17

Full disc BD5/BD9s don't work in the PS3. Either burn to BD-RE if possible or do movie only.

[rendez2k]

Just got the following error after encoding is complete and muxing is about to start: OnePass264, Run-time error '76' Path not found'. Could it be the LPCM audio?

[Chefkoch_ico]

what does one do with this? pls guide..

i think i need to use it as i have some vc1i streams that need to be decoded by dgvc1decnv

Its not possible as of now, since BD-Rebuilder creates the AVS itself immediatly before the encode starts, so its not even possible to manually modify the AVS script.

My batch file is a proof of concept for the automation of the whole optional demux of the video file, index it and create the proper AVS entries. You can try it easily yourself, just fill out the parameters in the file and run it.

Btw. I didnt know, that its possible to directly open the m2ts wthout demuxing from the DGIndex programs. I added a parameter to allow usage without demuxing, see attachement.

Hi there, thanks for a great app jdobbs, I have a couple of bugs to report.

When I try to run the app on a drive(s) that is raid striped it will always fail at about 75% on the first pass of the main movie, if I place the files in a non raid drive it completes fine.

Also when I try to rip indiana jones PAL region B it tells me that the target is too small if I try to do full disc, it reports the original movie as being 1460gb in size. If I do movie only it's fine. I believe this was reported in a previous post.

Great app, keep up the good work, donation coming.

jdobbs, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I've read that BD-Rebuilder copies index.bdmv and MovieObject.bdmv from the original BD. Then, I assume the produced backup is 100% BD compliant.

And that is the problem with some SAP... they can't (or their firmware forbids it) handle pure BD structure on red laser DVD.

Maybe some of you out there can try the hybrid AVCHD/BD (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1229828#post1229828) alternative. I haven't tested BD-Rebuilder but I encountered similar problems with the BD35, and the hybrid AVCHD/BD approach solved them.

I know that the hybrid way is a bit "dirty", but it is the only option I have found so far.

AVCHD-Patcher appears to work with very simple discs. As soon as they start using fancy (JAVA?) menus, they fail. Unless anyone know different?

That's what I've read indeed. It's still a possible alternative for main movie only and simple menus.

On the good side, simple menus made with commercial software (tested with Adobe Encore CS4) happen to work fine.
On the bad side, I've tested streams encoded in VC1 (and not H264) and they don't work with the hybrid approach, at least on the BD35. But it doesn't really matter for BD Rebuilder I presume.

[BZeeme]

???? Can you post your INI and INF files. That's really a goofy one.

I thought BD-Rebuilder may have gotten confused because I run the movie only test and the full backup test back-to-back in the same folder. I reran the full backup test again using v0.17.12 and a different folder - same results.

Hi,
I had a power cut at about 90% of the first pass and the encode didn't resume, so I had to start again.
Does the resume function only work with the second pass?
davidcwNo. As each M2TS file and pass is completed it is recorded as complete. BD-RB picks up after the last file/pass.

[pbeumer2001]

[02:15:29] BD Rebuilder v0.17.12 (beta)
- Input BD size: 1.424,00 GB
- Approximate total content: [02:27:18.629]
- Target BD size: 4,27 GB
- Target too small. Encode stopped.


This is what rebuilder tells me. And ALL the video sets are 4.096 MB size even the main movie which is around 44 GB!!

Does any one has an idea why rebuilder thinks my BD are 1400 GB. I Also tried a other disc. But then I get the same problem

[Capsbackup]

Just had a failed attempt, "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range. Happens as PHASE ONE completes, PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started. Press OK and BD-RB just closes. So I make a back-up folder and put the contents of the 1st attempt into that folder and restart BD-RB and press back-up again, and it continues after the resume message. However, after Rebuild appears to just finish the last M2TS, the same Run-time error pops up. Checking the two folders, the newly created and previously created but moved to a back up folder, BD-RB appears to have created the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders for both attempts. Both have all the same files inside and report the same (3.71GB). Maybe I should try and burn this to disc just to see if it will play. if I can provide more info, let me know.

Burned to disc, and even though it is recognised as an AVCHD and starts to play with a black screen for 9 seconds, it then stops.

[jdobbs]

Does any one has an idea why rebuilder thinks my BD are 1400 GB. I Also tried a other disc. But then I get the same problem BD-RB walks the specified folder tree and gets the filesize of all items. Are you positive you are pointing to the correct folder? What does windows explorer say when you do a "properties" for that folder?

[pbeumer2001]

BD-RB walks the specified folder tree and gets the filesize of all items. Are you positive you are pointing to the correct folder?

Yes I`m positive. It`s like the problem with fat32 and ntfs. fat32 can`t handle more than 4 GB files. Offcourse my drive is NTFS so that`s not the problem. But also video sets that are 600 mb are showing up as 4 gb in rebuilder.

I don`t know what explorer is saying i`m not home at the moment. But the files are displaying correct in exploprer. I can also play the video file with no problems in windows media player. I`m running windows vista 64 bits.

Hi guys, I had to wait 5 days before being able to post. I've been doing a lot of test encoding. I'm trying to reduce an episodic bluray (disc 1 of the series "Lost", which includes three episodes and a short feature).

Here's what I've been able to find so far:

- After loading the project and hitting "backup", I see a counter going up to 10%... 20%... At some point it reaches 100% and keeps counting. It reaches 200% ... up to 800%. No biggie, Just a cosmetic thing.

- If I choose "movie only", only the first of three episodes loads. The two remaining episodes are ignored, and that's why I choose "full backup". When I do that, all the cra**p, like warnings, etc... are encoded, too. But again, no biggie.

- Most important: none of the encodes I've done so far play on my Samsung P1500. The m2ts files play well on my computer , and they look great, but my P1500 won't play the disc.
Now... if I take one of the original files and manually compress them with ripbot or staxrip, my standalone will play them. So I guess it may have something to do with BD-Rebuilder.

- Here's a question: if I load one of the original m2ts files into tsmuxer, I can see that the resolution is 1080p. After encoding with Rebuilder, the resolution turns out to be 1084p.
Could that difference in resolution be responsible for my Samsung not playing the disc?

[jdobbs]

I've done the NTSC version of "LOST" and didn't have any issues... that was a few versions ago. I'll run Disc 1 through again and make sure it's still good-to-go. The quality sure looks great -- but I do remember those discs were the reason I added the deinterlacing filters in (for the extras).

I'm still looking for the magic formula that will make full backups work on all players -- don't know whether I'll get there soon considering what I've seen in recent posts. So in the meantime I think I'll add a feature that allows you to select which of the MPLS files you'd like to use for movie-only backups. That way it will make it possible to do DVD-5 backups of individual episodes.

Hi there, thanks for a great app jdobbs, I have a couple of bugs to report.

When I try to run the app on a drive(s) that is raid striped it will always fail at about 75% on the first pass of the main movie, if I place the files in a non raid drive it completes fine.

Also when I try to rip indiana jones PAL region B it tells me that the target is too small if I try to do full disc, it reports the original movie as being 1460gb in size. If I do movie only it's fine. I believe this was reported in a previous post.

Great app, keep up the good work, donation coming.

Run Chkdsk in the stripped array it will most likely have errors on it. I run BD-Rebuilder on a 4 x 250GB drive RAID0 array with no problems.

This is the same problem I have. I also try Pal movies and they all show up as 1400 GB. Has got the do with being PAL.

P.s donation should be there

[Sharc]

is this the only answer for now? http://neuron2.net/dgvc1decnv/dgvc1decnv.html

may have to purchase it if my gfx is supported..
As I reported a couple of times in this thread, I was able to decode all these problematic VC-1 files with neuron2's tools for newer Nvidia cards.
It appears though that pure interlaced VC-1 can also be decoded with ffdshow and wmv9, however, wmv9 failed in all instances when progressive and interlaced content was mixed in the same clip. I have not seen an open source decoder yet for such complex VC-1 interlaced/progressive stuff.

[piratburner]

Dvico have realesed a NEW FW for TviX !!!

Now it's possible to play a Blu ray structure :-) is a BD-LITE so it gives a kind of menus there you can choose sound/subs/chapter......

So if this SW could output that witout reencode it's should be a dream :-) :-) :-)

[GaPony]

Just got the following error after encoding is complete and muxing is about to start: OnePass264, Run-time error '76' Path not found'. Could it be the LPCM audio?

I got woke up this morning to the same error, and it was also LPCM audio. The title was "Finding Neverland"

Upon a closer look, BD-Rebuilder reports this movie as aprox. 58:34 and the actual movie is 101:00. Its usually correct on it estimate, but this isn't even close and I played the movie from the folder to be sure its all there.

[BobZhome]

BD-RB walks the specified folder tree and gets the filesize of all items. Are you positive you are pointing to the correct folder? What does windows explorer say when you do a "properties" for that folder?

Jdobbs, it seems to be a problem with PAL blu-rays.
I first stated the problem back at Post #146 (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1228733&postcount=146)
:thanks:

There is no such thing as PAL BluRays. All Cinema movies are 24fps and so they are on BluRay all over the world (unlike DVD, where in Europe a PAL speedup or conversion to 25fps was done). Also there is nor more resolution difference to BluRay as it was with DVDs PAL vs NTSC.

Yep you`re right. But there must be a difference between vs or eur BD. Otherwise rebuilder would work on both. I`ve tried 2 eur BD and they both showed the same problem in rebuilder.

[jdobbs]

Is anyone else seeing that kind of problem on Eur BDs? Is there anyone out there that has processed Eur BDs without seeing a wild sizing problem?

I have done 3 EUR BDs, full backup to BD25:
- Shutter
- National Treasure 2
- The Mummy 3 (although with VC1 interlaced problem)

I have not had this problem there.

Can you list some BluRays, where you had this problem?

Maybe its again some problem with regional settings, which format do you have set in windows control panel. Maybe try English (USA).

[GaPony]

Its not the installation of the software, at least in my case... everything has been fine for each of a dozen movies copied before "Finding Neverland" with LPCM, and every movie done afterwards. All the successful movies used either True HD or HD Master.

[jdobbs]

Ok. Let me see if I get this straight. You work fine unless there is an LPCM track in the movie? Also, is this in "FULL" or "MOVIE-ONLY" mode?

[BobZhome]

Is anyone else seeing that kind of problem on Eur BDs? Is there anyone out there that has processed Eur BDs without seeing a wild sizing problem?

Jdobbs, The "Target to small to continue" error only happens when we select "Full Backup" on a EUR Blu-ray. There is no problems if we select "Movie Only".
:thanks:

[GaPony]

Ok. Let me see if I get this straight. You work fine unless there is an LPCM track in the movie? Also, is this in "FULL" or "MOVIE-ONLY" mode?

Yes sir! That's correct.. This was a "Movie Only" copy. Once I finish the one I'm on now... I can try it again with AC3 or whatever other way you need me to try. Full or Movie Only doesn't matter to me.

[jdobbs]

Jdobbs, The "Target to small to continue" error only happens when we select "Full Backup" on a EUR Blu-ray. There is no problems if we select "Movie Only".
:thanks:The "Target too small to continue" means that the source has other files (non video files) that add up to more than will fit on the output target. If BD-RB is miscalculating the total input size, that might be the key... but I just don't understand how it is getting a value that is larger than the directory...

I have no way of checking this... so I'm going to add a special debug mode for the next version that will output all filenames and file sizes it finds in the source path (to a text file). You can then send me the text file so I can see what's going on. What I also don't understand is why others are using it with EUR BD discs and not experiencing the issue.

[GaPony]

Ok. Let me see if I get this straight. You work fine unless there is an LPCM track in the movie? Also, is this in "FULL" or "MOVIE-ONLY" mode?

As it turns out the copy I was working on was the same movie, "Finding Neverland". A Movie Only copy, using AC3 Multi-Channel instead of LPCM turned out perfect. Maybe I don't have something, someplace enabled? I can follow directions, click buttons, and know the difference between good and bad results, but I don't know much about the technical workings of video conversion.

[jdobbs]

No -- there's probably a bug. LPCM is treated differently than other sources in a couple of places. I'll go pick up "Finding Neverland" and run it through as a test in MOVIE-ONLY mode.

[[SLiM]D12]

ok jdobbs, got my BD-RE's today and burnt the movie Batman (the cheesy old one, POW BANG POOF) and it plays, menu works, it's seen as a BD-RE disc on the PS3, only issue is........no audio, i try changing all tracks, and none of them playback any audio.........formatting the disc now and trying with another movie to see.

as for aften i grabbed the new version from that post earlier in this thread and it works with it, so it's a go.

[Lukeroo]

I am finding that every movie I now try comes with the error 76 message then the app quits.

I thought that was odd so tried to recode a previously succesfull full movie (pulp fiction) and it still crashes.

I have tried reinstalling ffdshow and avisynth etc. also copied a new set of files over the old ones for bd-rb and still no luck.

Have to work now but will try again later.

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I have done National Treasure 2 again with the latest version (0.17.12, last time 0.17.09):
- Target BD25
- Full Copy
- Reencode all Audio (none of the Audio checkboxes checked)

Really all is working, only there is no audio in menu (Menu Audio is LPCM) and the trailers in before the main menu are in english language.

On the original with AnyDVD enabled, the trailers are german language (when I select german before at the "pre-menu", when the disc is inserted).

I have checked the original trailer m2ts files, they have eng-fre-ger languages (in this row) AC3 multi-ch and I deselected only french.

To bad, I deleted the encode already. Will try now I am legend.

[jdobbs]

I have the same "target too small" error with the US version of "The Dark Knight." Now that's really weird... because I have done that one with no issue.

[DVD Maniac]

Minor issue - no selection for "Spanish" in the pull down list. Important for me- im trying to learn the language!

[jdobbs]

It is in the list... Spanish(spa), between (sot) and (sqi). The list is sorted on the three letter designators, although its a little difficult to see that with the text shown first. I do think I should rebuild the list so the most common languages are collected at the top. Spanish it too popular to require scrolling down several pages to find.

[Chefkoch_ico]

I have some issues concerning I am legend, German release.

There is a theatrical version and an alternate version on the disc.

The alternate is from the filesize bigger (18GB vs 16GB), so it takes it as the main movie, but the theatrical should be, or both.

So its not possible to use the quick encode for extras, since it would make the theatrical version only 1 pass.

And I think it also uses less bitrate for the theatrical version than for the alternate version, or?

One additional thing. The disc is VC1 only and FFDShow again has some problems with it (hangs). Switching to WMV9 seems to help, but i am not sure, if I get distortions with it again (happened at Mummy 3), need to check, when its done.

- Corrected an error in which a source that uses LPCM
input was crashing with MOVIE-ONLY mode.
- Fixed a "Runtime Error 9" that could occur when a
source did not have a language code set.
- Added a temporary setting in the config file, example:
SPECIAL_DEBUG_FILE="C:\PATHTO\DEBUG.TXT"
This is meant to list all files and sizes found in the
BD Source path individually in the selected output text
file so I can debug incorrect sizing that has been
reported.
- Updated AFTEN to the most recent SVN version.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
(Edit - 11:10 ET) Whoops. The first posted ZIP was a little screwed up. I just uploaded it again.

[pbeumer2001]

I fixed my problem with the target size problem. I made a image file with imgburn from the decrypted files and loaded that image file into deamon tools. Now the pc thinks Ì have a bluay disc inserted but this one is allready decrypted so rebuilder can work with it.

P.s my decoding speed is 0.19x I have a dual core amd 4200+.

[ron spencer]

I chose to keep the audio....but BD rebuilder reencoded to a new bitrate anyway...it did not use it in the muxing though...so just wasted some time

Ok, I'm confused. Are you saying that in the past you were pointing to a disc directly that wasn't decrypted?

[pbeumer2001]

Ok, I'm confused. Are you saying that in the past you were pointing to a disc directly that wasn't decrypted?

No the disc was decrypted but the files were just in a folder on my desktop. Now I created an image file of those decrypted files and mounted the image file. Then anydvd asked me which region. I selected region free and everythink works fine.

[ron spencer]

I tried Dark Knight....for some reason the vc1 came out garbage...nothing to see. How should ffdshow be set up for vc1? I thought I had it ok.

Also, can proggy be set so you ca nencode right away to be sure ffdshow set up ok? that is one pass encode right away?

P.s my decoding speed is 0.19x I have a dual core amd 4200+.What clock rate is a 4200+? Also, is this the speed during pass 1 or pass 2? Right now mine is running pass 1 on a AMD dual-core @2.4GHz and I'm getting about .27x.

SPECIAL_DEBUG_FILE="c:\DEBUG.TXT"

Then just close BD-RB, open it again, and point to the directory. It will create a file called DEBUG.TXT that will record all the files in the path and their sizes. I'd really like to see why it is doing this. The DEBUG.TXT file may be large, so please mail it to dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com

Thanks.

P.s my decoding speed is 0.19x I have a dual core amd 4200+. I found out what was causing this. The API function I was using when checking the file sizes has a limit of 128 characters for the path -- the example I got via e-mail exceeded that. So my routine was returning erroneous values.

If you limit the path to 128 characters or less it will work correct. In the meantime, I will change my code to use an alternate API function.

[[SLiM]D12]

finally got the first one working. Tinkerbell works on the PS3 with audio. I'll check it out fully later on. I've upgraded to latest beta and unchecked the option to "do not convert DTS/AC3" to see if that lets my encodes work in the PS3 with audio.

[GaPony]

Beta 0.13.13 has fixed the issue with movies using LPCM.

Thank you jdobbs!

Is that Full Backup or Movie Only Mode?

I`m glad you found the problem. Hopefully I can report my firt working copy of Transformers tomorrow.

P.s Transformers has dolby true HD sound. What does rebuilder do with that? Does it reconvert the sound or does it simply copy the sound from the original?

[jdobbs]

By default it reencodes to AC3. You can choose to keep it -- but it will still be down-converted (just not reencoded).

[pbeumer2001]

By default it reencodes to AC3. You can choose to keep it -- but it will still be down-converted (just not reencoded).

Maybe you can put a new option in the future to keep the HD audio tracks as original? In a few months the BD-R will be a lot cheaper. When reencoding to dvd9 I understand that the original audio track is way to big.

[jdobbs]

I plan to do that. I would assume that at some point BD-R will be the preferred target. The BD-5/9 is a nice option -- especially for movie-only, but when BD-R 25's get cheaper than $1 (they're already around $6 US) they will probably be the way to go. That's where I see BD-RB really shining. Of course, it also requires a BD Burner -- but they're also getting cheaper.

My problem is that now that I have experienced HD at 1080p -- I'm just not satisfied with anything less anymore.

[GaPony]

My problem is that now that I have experienced HD at 1080p -- I'm just not satisfied with anything less anymore.

I was able to live just fine without Blu-Ray copies until you came up with this bright idea... Now I think I need to copy every Blu-Ray movie I own, on top of the 1,000's of DVDs I already own. Like I don't already enough to keep me busy...

Thanks alot bub! :sly:

:) j/k :) Great program!

[kevdriver]

quick question. Downloaded most recent version, under settings>encoder> FFMEP is not selectable? Is this correct. Never noticed this before, 264 is checked off but cannot select FFMPEG. Thanks.

[GaPony]

That's how mine is, and has been, and everything works great!

[kevdriver]

Thanks Pony. Ever since re-install of BD.... now getting failed video encode retries exceeded.... or some such message. Have all the additional encoders and decoders installed. Trying the perfect storm. :p

Do you have mpeg2 enabled in ffdshow? I think I also had to enable AVISynth initially.

As for updates, I just unzip them into a new folder and simply change the target for my desktop shortcut.

[kevdriver]

Sure do Pony, retrying perfect storm again........ just a sec here........ which is supposed to be used libavcodec or libmpeg2 ? I'm using the former. Since I have DVDRB avisynth should be floating around somewhere..... I would think.

[mochevolete]

I'm doing the Dark Knight BR, but if the first pass had a 0,47 speed the second pass has only 0,10, so every BD Rebuilder work will last for more than 24 hrs
Does anybody knows why ? (E6400, 2GB, Vista 32)

[Sharc]

[/CODE]
..... Another thing. I see absolutely no reason to re-encode 640 kbps AC3 to 448 kbps. You save only 192 kbps !!! (Do not reencode AC3 should be checked by default)
Hmmm... I am not so unhappy with the 448 kbps instead of 640, because I normally keep 2 audio tracks - the original one and the local language. Makes 384 kbps saving which the movie will benefit from on a BD5.

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

At least for me, BD-R is already the prefered target.

I can get quality media (Sony BD-R 4x printable) for 4.55 EUR. Thats OK. Could be better of course.

But considering, that full backups von DVD work on almost no players, I think its worth it to use BD-R.

------------------

As for Bugs & problems:

Just doing "I am Legend" (VC1 only) a second time. Problem is again VC1 and the libavcodec. I realized, that a file cant be opened and switched to WMV9 and resumed.

Problem is, some of the already encoded m2ts files are there but they are only grey (the video).

Till now I thought it would be best to use for VC1 libavcodec and if it hangs switch to WMV9. But thats not the case. Also only WMV9 only is not an since it creates distortions at a lot of videos.

I know, you have maybe more important things to do, but please create all the video AVS files for encoding before the first encode starts. In this case you dont need to worry about DGVC1Dec integration and I and maybe some others would be happy to modify the AVS scripts myself to use DGVC1Dec. This is currently the only option if you want to process a lot of VC1 discs.

Re-encoding is always bad idea. It's like compressing .jpg image two times or coping already copied VHS/audio tape! 384kbps ?!!? It would make sense in DVD-Rip era (700MB) where video bitrate was not higher than 1Mbps. I only accept rencoding from DTS (1.5Mbps or higher) or any lossless format.

[Sharc]

Yes and no. Isn't re-enoding of already compressed material what we are doing all the time when backing up DVDs or BDs? ;)
384kbps ?!!? It would make sense in DVD-Rip era (700MB) where video bitrate was not higher than 1Mbps. I only accept rencoding from DTS (1.5Mbps or higher) or any lossless format
I thought about increasing the bitrate of a movie on a BD5 by 384 kbps, like say 3500 + 384 = 3884 kbps which is a 11% improvement. How much would devs have to invest in x264 to gain another 11% efficiency? Or did I get something wrong?

if you want to really destroy audio quality you can go even lower with bitrate to 384kbps! MASSIVE SAVINGS !!!! I'm telling you whole 0.5 Mbps!!!!! :)

[Capsbackup]

Having "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range" on backup attempt of Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl disc 2 bonus, with BD-RB 0.17.0.13. What does this error message mean and/or what could be the cause? I had this error 1 time before, but was not sure if anyone else has or a reason was found. Happens as "PHASE ONE completes, PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started", and press OK and BD-RB just closes.

[ron spencer]

What should be used for vc1. Libvacodec or wmv? I have had crashed with dark knight

[Sharc]

I would try with wmv9. It should work with VC-1 progressive.
You might however experience problems with the Extras in case they are interlaced or mixed interlaced/progressive.
I used DGVC1IndexNV btw, but presently this is not (yet) supported by BD-RB and requires newer Nvidia cards AFAIK.

[MikeyBK]

I've gotten that "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range" error a couple times, but they were both on TSMuxer outputs. I have several movie only m2ts files on my harddrive (which saves space and which I use to view thru a DVItoHDMI connection on my HDTV), ....so rather than reripping the Blurays again, I just used TSMuxer or TSRemux to output into Bluray structure so that it can be loaded onto BD-RB..... however that's now two from TSMuxer that errored out that way during the encoding. The couple I did with TSRemux worked perfectly thru BD-RB.

Any reason that may be jdobbs?

[ron spencer]

I am just using BD rebuilder with ffdshow decoding vc1, no DGVC1IndexNV. Also movie only, but x264 keeps crashing with vc1 movie

[MikeyBK]

Sure do Pony, retrying perfect storm again........ just a sec here........ which is supposed to be used libavcodec or libmpeg2 ? I'm using the former. Since I have DVDRB avisynth should be floating around somewhere..... I would think.

I'm using libavcodec for mpeg2 (which I think is default) and I also already AVISYNTH and didn't have to do a thing on that front...

Did you select the wmv9 as decoder for VC-1 in the ffdshow codecs configuration?

[laserfan]

Did you select the wmv9 as decoder for VC-1 in the ffdshow codecs configuration?Is this important? Is there a consensus that WMV9 is better than libavcodec or is this just a suggestion to ron spencer to try the other decoder?

I have occasionally seen random pixelizations decoding VC-1s with either codec, which is why I ask.

Any reason that may be jdobbs?The ones on TSMUXER outputs were because they were muxed with no language code -- I fixed that on the last release.

I have occasionally seen random pixelizations decoding VC-1s with either codec, which is why I ask. I use Vista for most of my encodes -- so I disable both and use the CODEC that was installed with the O/S. On XP I don't think there is one by default without FFDSHOW (not sure though).

[jdobbs]

As for the 448Kbs and 640Kbs argument on DD audio.... for the love of God, that's not something to really get excited about is it? Especially since double blind tests (that eliminate what people "want to believe") show that almost no one can tell the difference anyway. You can keep the 640Kbs stream already with the click of a checkbox -- so what is the issue? C'mon. :rolleyes: Maybe we can spend another 20 forum pages of debating audio bitrates on this "let's not debate" thread - eh?

On some files (for example in Mummy 3) you have with VC1 and libavcodec timeouts, meaning it cant be openend. with WMV9 or using the Windows Medio DMO (default with WMP11 without FFDShow), you get pixel distortions and crashs of x264 (or the player with which you try to play the AVS or the file directly.

Thats why I ask for support of DGVC1DecNV, as there is currently no other way for some discs.

I explained it already a few times, dont know why the question pops up again.

jdobbs,

is hard to add hd-dvd input to bd rebuilder for make a full converted copy (hd-dvd to bd whit full menu)?....is many hd-dvd disks
sorry for my bad english...and tks

[jdobbs]

That would be a lot of work... and really not worth the effort considering HD-DVD is dead and the work would only have any value for a very short time.

There are fairly easy ways to do movie-only back up HD-DVD to blu-ray, though.

I have occasionally seen random pixelizations decoding VC-1s with either codec, which is why I ask.
Well, I can only speak for myself. It was primarily a suggestion to Ron because I found wmv9 more reliable (?). I am on Vista.
(My preference for VC-1 decoding is DGVC1IndexNV/dgvc1decodeNV.dll though, which succeeded in decoding VC-1 material which I was not able to decode with any other decoder. Unfortunately it's a solution for newer Nvidia cards only.)

[jdobbs]

I sure wish there was a way to do it with a directshow filter. Right now that's the only source type that has issues.

[Steff 320i]

Question: since I'm still doing only test encodes of full discs, would Rebuilder work faster if I disable Trellis?

I still haven't been able to make a copy of "Lost - disc 1" which will run on my Samsung BD-P1500. But I'll keep trying. Let's see if beta 13 will do the trick.

My "Lost" blurays are region B, european, by the way.
Oh, and I noticed that Rebuilder still shows 900% progress at the beginning, while decoding audio, i believe.

[ron spencer]

There are two versions of DGVC1IndexNV...one that is pay that uses video accerlation and the other that does not. This is the free one that would not have issues with hardware and could be used for vc1 right?

http://neuron2.net/dgavcdec/dgavcdec.html

the pay one is at:

http://neuron2.net/dgavcdecnv/dgavcdecnv.html

use the free one


Also, why not tie into DirecShow filters that do work or give option to. Some may have Cyberlink decoders while others may have the Sonic ones. These work perfectly for VC1, which is troublesome for bd rebuilder now.

[Chefkoch_ico]

@ron:
These are for AVC, not for VC1. For VC1 there is no free non-NVidia Version (yet).

@jdobbs:
That is true. But you would have at least the choice to get a NVidia card (if not there) and donate neuron2 and have successful VC1 BluRay copies, or live with the current problems (there are a lot VC1 discs, my rate was 2 of five 5 discs made the VC1 interlaced problem).

I tried to use Cyberlink filters, but they did not work. I have no Sonic filters to test.

Those who can use DGVC1DecNV could use the whole DGDec suite and benefit from faster decoding (and with it also encoding). And are no longer tied to DirectShow.

Of course its your decission, but I hope you at least consider it. You don´t even need to directly support it. Maybe write the VID_AVS files at the start of the backup and dont overwrite them afterwards. This would be a not so big change, or? Plleeaaassee.

One (or myself) could write a small program, which modifies the AVS files then.

But then again, from DVD RB you know allready how to work with DGMpgDec, the others are not really different.

I would donate you again a small amount but the 3 digit number a few days ago is enough (for now).

[ron spencer]

My bad on vc1 avc thing. Pity he has not made free one. I got another crash on vc1. Sonic does work nicely fed via graphedit into avisynth. Then you can do anything you want

[KarstenS]

I can confirm that problem with not encoding sound options. I also did select both and tried "Enchanted" with DTS (german). On this disk, the movie is split in round about 20 files with sizes between 90MB and 7000MB. Nearly 1/3 of the files got DTS muxed (all of them are files with small size). The other 2/3 got the recoded AC3 sound muxed. So I got a main movie with some parts DTS and other parts AC3.

Actually I am not at home. I can post the META files on sunday, if needed. But I already did a look into them. The files says to mux the DTS track where DTS got muxed and says to mux the AC3 track, where the reencoded AC3 got muxed.


Here are now the META files of every main movie video files, the log, the ini files and 2 screenshots. One screenshot shows the directory of the original BD. It is sized to see only the files of main movie.

The second screenshot shows an error I get at end of all. But the BD9 seems to work (I have muxed AC3 manually into the other files, as this would be faster than muxing DTS)...but no sound in main menu (it uses LPCM).

If you need other files too, I keep the folders for a while.

EDIT: Also chapters are missing. When i press the button for jumping to begin of next capter, it jumps directly to the end of the movie.

[ron spencer]

I wonder how convertxtodvd does it. It can convert vc1 without sonic filters quite nicely

VC-1 and AVC are two totally different issues.
If you really have found a free / opensource VC-1 decoder or filter that decodes interlaced and mixed interlaced/progressive VC-1 material reliably, please let us know. From a former post I concluded that the filters you mention (Cyberlink, Sonic, ArcSoft) are not suitable to decode certain interlaced VC-1 material, and/or they are at least not open source.

[ron spencer]

yes I posted a few up my bad on confusing his filters....no the sonic is not open source, but people have been converting with success progressive stuff. I have used my cyberlink ones fine with graphedit no problem....but source has been progressive.

BTW convertx2dvd converts dark knight (vc1) perfectly

yes I posted a few up my bad on confusing his filters....no the sonic is not open source, but people have been converting with success progressive stuff. I have used my cyberlink ones fine with graphedit no problem....but source has been progressive.

BTW convertx2dvd converts dark knight (vc1) perfectly

Here a VC-1 sample file you might try to decode other than with DGVC1 ..... I am curious ....

[ron spencer]

convert with what? which way? via directshow and graphedit?

what results would you like

[ron spencer]

I can play this in media player classic fine as is....just some monster throwing cars around

[Sharc]

Interesting. Which filter/decoder does MPC use? You may check with a right click on the picture and select Filters > . I doubt that MPC picked a free filter.

[ron spencer]

ffdshow icon comes up in tray? this what you want

[ron spencer]

gotta goto hockey now...may try more later on all this

[Sharc]

Enjoy the game.
Maybe we should drop this here as it's getting off topic I presume.

@GaPony,
My error was on the disc 2 bonus features, thus has to be full movie. There is no other message after my error, just BD-RB closes. I have not seen why this error happens or what to provide to figure it out. Probably far down the list, based on reports others have been posting.

Interesting. It doesn't work for me either. Same blockiness as previously reported.

I use Vista for most of my encodes -- so I disable both and use the CODEC that was installed with the O/S. On XP I don't think there is one by default without FFDSHOW (not sure though).
Is it NOT true that Vista installs WMP11 i.e. that is the source of the decoding filter you are depending on? Meaning I think the one & only VC-1 decoder published by MS is via WMP11. Installing WMP11 is what gives us XP guys the ability to decode VC-1, tho clearly libavcodec from ffdshow does it too (tho not perfectly).

On some files (for example in Mummy 3) you have with VC1 and libavcodec timeouts, meaning it cant be openend. with WMV9 or using the Windows Medio DMO (default with WMP11 without FFDShow), you get pixel distortions and crashs of x264 (or the player with which you try to play the AVS or the file directly.

Thats why I ask for support of DGVC1DecNV, as there is currently no other way for some discs.

I explained it already a few times, dont know why the question pops up again.In this thread? I have looked & looked for discussions of problems decoding VC1 but haven't found anything like what you've just stated.

BTW convertx2dvd converts dark knight (vc1) perfectlyWonder what decoder convertx2dvd depends upon? Guess I will look.

Sorry if this takes us further off-topic, but it feels like there is not currently a perfect VC-1 decoder available ("pixel distortions" as Chefkoch has put it) except possibly for DGVC1DecNV which I can't use (yet).

what can i provide you to investigate the Run-Time Error 9 i currently have?

thx

Well yes and no -- but lets not treat this like the sky is falling The only time it has problems is on sources that have mixed interlaced and progressive, which is very rare. I've done many, many discs that are VC-1 -- and they are fine. It wasn't until this week that I ran into the first disc that had this problem ("Band of Brothers").

I keep hearing this expressed as though VC-1 can't be backed up -- which is inaccurate.

When does it happen (exactly). Is it while the screen says "Multiplexing" or when it says "Reencoding audio" or possibly when "redoing timing". If I can narrow it down at least I can find our where it is happening.

Are you doing a commercial disc, or has it been modified?

[GaPony]

As for my error... the last noted in the log was "Multiplexing M2TS", and a Vista pop-up error on screen that aften.exe had failed.

[[SLiM]D12]

I just re-ran it and it appears to be multiplexing when it's doing this. I just restarted the encode, and it's resumed. It's multiplexing now, so i'll see what it does before it errors out, and i'll re-post

[pbeumer2001]

After 29 hours of encoding Transformars is finished!!! Full disc backup Target size dvd9. To bad I didn`t check if I had dvd9 to burn to. Have to buy them tomorrow and I`ll post the result.

On that you are right. At least you have done more tests than any of us :-) . It was my impression that it is more problematic (in my case 2 out of 5, 40%, of all discs I tested).
The real problem is, I need to check every VC1 video for distortions. Or when running over night and it crashes, the whole night is lost (for encoding :-) ).

Anyway, could it be done, that all VID_* AVS files be created immediatly after start of the backup and not immediatly before encoding for each stream starts? Please.

@laserfan:
not that it really matters, but search for all of my posts in the last days and you will see. I even created a batch file that could be called from BD-RB which does the whole indexing and so on.

Bye

Hmmm... I can decode it with MPC-HC (home cinema) when I disable its internal Transform Filters VC1(FFmpeg) and disable H264/AVC(FFmpeg) and enable the Transform Filters VC1(DXVA) and enable H264/AVC(DXVA). The picture is decoded correctly but the audio is out of sync. Here another testclip:

[[SLiM]D12]

0.17.12 right now. If it fails, i'll upgrade and try again. I have 158 streams to build and it's at 147 so far, so i'll post again when complete.

I wouldn't expect it to be a real problem for movie-only backups because all I have seen are purely progressive. The mixed progressive/interlaced VC-1 clips however seem to be quite common in Extras where videos (e.g. interviews) are mixed with clips of the movie.
From the BluRay discs I have seen so far about half are VC-1, and half are AVC. I have so far not seen any mpeg2 Blu-rays here (Region B).
Something else perhaps just to mention: I have read in another thread that Region Restrictions should better not be removed when ripping a BD with anyDVD as it may prevent or jeopardize playback on standalones.

Hello, I just started my first project but the program got stuck initiating the second pass. I haven't stopped it yet but I almost sure it is frozen. The last write was done at 5:53am. The process started at 7:40PM. The movie is Shining. My computer is a Laptop Lenovo T61 with Core2 Duo T7500 @ 2.2 GHz and 2MB RAM. Windows Vista Business. I remember having a similar issue when encoding with DVD-RB for Mobile that I reported long time ago. It seems it was related to Windows Vista. Any ideas???

[laserfan]

The only time it has problems is on sources that have mixed interlaced and progressive, which is very rare. I've done many, many discs that are VC-1 -- and they are fine.Ok, thanks. I must have a system problem then--I've not been able to get clean encodes of entire movies (movie-only). :o

[[SLiM]D12]

Actually jdobbs, it got past the multiplexing part, it's copying files over now to my output folder. It failed copying this file:

E:\CERTIFICATE\app.discroot.crt.

@jdobbs
my run time error 9, from 2 previous posts:
Just had a failed attempt, "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range. Happens as PHASE ONE completes, PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started. Press OK and BD-RB just closes. So I make a back-up folder and put the contents of the 1st attempt into that folder and restart BD-RB and press back-up again, and it continues after the resume message. However, after Rebuild appears to just finish the last M2TS, the same Run-time error pops up. Checking the two folders, the newly created and previously created but moved to a back up folder, BD-RB appears to have created the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders for both attempts. Both have all the same files inside and report the same (3.71GB). Maybe I should try and burn this to disc just to see if it will play. if I can provide more info, let me know.
and:
Having "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range" on backup attempt of Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl disc 2 bonus, with BD-RB 0.17.0.13. What does this error message mean and/or what could be the cause? I had this error 1 time before, but was not sure if anyone else has or a reason was found. Happens as "PHASE ONE completes, PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started", and press OK and BD-RB just closes.
What else can I provide?

upgraded both AnyDVD and DVD-RB and got this same error in the same spot.

[liquidskin76]

Hi,

I've successfully done 'Sunshine' (UK version) to BD25 and all is ok. Using version .12 Also did 'The Fountain' (UK version) to bd25 using version .11 and all was ok.

Kept DTS audio on both and can confirm that it down converted from DTS HD Master to DTS ok. Also tried converting to AC3 and all was ok. Popup menus and extras all ok.

Hi jdobbs,

Are you able to tell us when you plan to add or activate the option to kept the original audio (be it DTS Master, TrueHD, or Uncompressed LPCM) instead of re-encoding?!

I've got my fingers crossed for the next update (.14)!!! :D

Many thanks for the work you are doing. My donation will be coming shortly!

[KarstenS]

Actually I am trying with Version .13 another Disney movie: Meet the Robinsons. Selected Soundtracks: AC3 and DTS German (reencoding disabled for both). Seems to work fine now. When its successfully finished, I will try again Enchanted.

Suggestion: Select at least one audio stream. The problem: When I setup german (ger; deu) as language, only german audio will be selected. But most extras and nearly all menus are with english marked audio stream. So I have to select audio streams for every file by hand, because it selects no audio stream for them at all.

I can confirm the same results with Ice Age 2, BD25 UK, DTS was down converted from dtshdma, total time was about 6 hours, very pleased with your work, again, +1 here for keeping original audio tracks, as I intend to create images using img burn for use with tmt within media portal, over my asus hdav13, many thanks for your software :D

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I was doing "I am legend" full copy to BD25. Worked fine. But there is an issue with audio streams.

When I started the movie I wondered where there is german audio, turns out if I select spanish, I hear german audio.

In BD-RB, there were the laguages like this:
[X] AC3, Eng
[X] TRUE_HD, Eng
[ ] AC3, Japanese
[ ] AC3, French
[ ] AC3, Italian
[X] AC3, German
[ ] AC3, Spanish

I found out, in the original m2ts the audio streams have the PIDs 4352 to 4358. German is there PID 4357.

In the m2ts created via BD-Rebuilder (btw. v0.17.13) the Audio PIDs are from 4352 to 4354 and german PID is 4354.

Can you send me your INI and INF files? dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com

I've never had an oversize, and I've tested that disc -- I'd like to see what you have set differently.

[pbeumer2001]

I had a runtime 76 error. Theencoding was done and rebuilder wanted to convert the audio. Aften.exe crashed and rebuilder closed. Is the any way to try it again without reencoding the whole movie again?

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs,
sent files. Also, any ideas on the run time error 9 issues a few of us seem to have?

[jdobbs]

You may want to upgrade to the AFTEN version that is posted earlier in this thread. You can then manually encode the audio for that M2TS. BD-RB should pick up where it left off if you restart it --- and do the REBUILD.

ok i`m manual converting the audio. But rebuilder asks me everytime if I want to delete the work files. Offcourse I see no and then the prgress stops. Where can I press rebuild?

Rebuilder did the audio muxing in 2 files. I have 2 .wav files on my drive. one is 4.2 GB the other is 600 MB. Maybe that`s why aften crashed. Now I have to manualy convert both files and merge them together

Ok now I have 1 ac3 file. Still can`t figure out how to let rebuilder rebuild the whole thing

[Steff 320i]

For all you folks doing test encodes... you can speed up the process substantially by deactivating "trellis algorithms" under "settings-->setup" and additionally using only "fair quality" under "settings-->encoder settings".

This reduces encoding time to apprx a third of the time.
I did a full encode yesterday and it took like 5 hours instead of 15. Quality of course is not as good, but it's a way of doing a full test encode real quick.

[MikeyBK]

I just had a 'Runtime Error 5, invalid procedure call or arguement'. This was on the same movie ('Jumper') which I had a Runtime Error 9. That is two errors in a row since I updated to v0.17.13. All settings are the same as when I was successful with all but one using previous versions of BD-RB.

Not sure why, but I'll double check everything and try running it once again tinight,

Upon double-checking what may have happened, I now see that the runtime error 9 before was with v.0.17.12 and using a TSMuxer output. And this runtime error 5 was caused by my Comodo firewall denying BD-RB v.0.17.13 access to Matroska and ffdshow..... which is unusual since I have Comodo set up to allow updated programs the same access as before the update, which it did properly when updating from v.0.17.09 upward.... up until v.0.17.13??
Anyways, I now have the full disc of Jumper on my HDD and will use that as my source to take TSMuxer or TSRemux out of the equation for this title.

[shon3i]

I tested, everything went fine, without errors. Only thing i noticed is that resulting BD have completly miss chapter points. I suppose that becuase you encode whole stream at once, and not splitted by chapters like in DVDRB Pro.

I have suggestion for that, you can easly split all m2ts streams (MPEG2, VC-1, AVC) with mkvmerge on chapters into MKV's, and then you can aslo call with Directshowsource ("chapterxxx.mkv")

Hi!

found it out myself, TSMuxer automatically sets the PIDs incremental and there is no way to change that.

@jdobbs:
is this one of the reasons, you plan to write an own muxer in the future?

I tested with 2001 in BD 9. No errors. Only tested with HTPC(powerdvd in tv).I am amazed because the average bitrate is 3 Mp with two audios with trellis=1 an color boost=1, all extras included and really I do not see a difference. The final size of the principal film is 4,36 GB y the original is 23,2 GB. Now I do not understand the high definition because until now I thought the bluray was of the highest quality but now I think it's enough with a BD 9 with the code h264. Its only a joke?. What is the use of the BD-R?
Regards and thank you

[ron spencer]

what are you playing on? on my 50" Samsung 1080p there is no way the stuff is the same...on BD9 you can get movie only looking ok, but it is not the same...what is size of your panel?

BD-R, when price gets low, will be what you put the stuff on....I have tried one on bd-r and is spectacular...

[[SLiM]D12]

jdobbs any idea on the runtime error 9? i have an encode sitting here i dont' want to delete :(

[x_specter_x]

Got an error on encode: "Runtime Error 9" i am using v0.17.13 to encode a FULL backup onto DVD9 of "Day Watch". Seemed to get the error at 100% when it looked like it was finished. I checked the working directory and everything was encoded and I could double click on the main feature video file and it would play to the end. I am trying to encode NIGHT WATCH now. let you know how that goes.

I'll correct it to use the original chapter points.

Bye I do plan to finish it (I started already) -- but that shouldn't have an effect, because I am remapping them in the MPLS file... I'll check and see what's going on. I'll be out-of-town for a few days though (real job) so I'll have to look when I get back. Remind me on Friday, ok?

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. I'm pretty busy with my real life right now.Sorry, I'll get to all the bugs -- but I also have to make a living and there are only so many hours in a day. :(

BD-R, when price gets low, will be what you put the stuff on....I have tried one on bd-r and is spectacular...Don't know why yours isn't coming out -- but they look good on my 50" Sony LCD 1080p. I can do full-movie backups on BD-9 and frankly they look as good as the original. I agree that full movies on DVD-5 can show some degradation.

[ron spencer]

I dunno why either.....but everyone I have done so far I, my wife, kids, friends, etc. can easily see the difference...just using default settings.

When I try sending to BD 25 man do I see the difference in results...now that is like the original. I am using Trellis and high quality encode.

Dunno really....To be honest, I even tried a small movie (Wall-E) and on my widescreen computer monitor I see the difference, even sitting back a few feet.

Maybe I am just picky...who knows....I do know I REALLY like the results on BD-25....I think I am gonna stay that route and play with converting BR to DVD (which is also cool) until prices of BD-Rs drop.

I have a 42" Phillips and looking at House Bunny full disc on a BD-9, looks pretty damn good. The movie-only BD-9s are virtually the same. I have a DVItoHDMI connection as well to that Phillips, so I can pull up the Bluray thru there in 1920x1080 and pause on a scene, and do the same with a BD-9 to compare, and either I'm blind or you must be looking for th minutest details that I haven't picked up on. Perhaps if I did a full disc to BD-9 of a high action film like Spider Man 3, maybe I'd see a noticeable difference, but movie only Spidey 3 to BD-9, I cannot tell which is which.


BTW, I'll re-do Jumper tonite and see if any errors come up, but I'm pretty sure the runtime 5 was due to TSMuxer and the runtime 9 was due to Comodo Friewall denying BD-RB access to ffdshow & Matroska.

[datman]

I have only had a 1 for 1 success so this may be premature.

All of my BD backups have been ripped, remuxed and converted to ISOs. To work from these files may be better than from the originals because the menu,trailers and all that other crap has been dealt with

as always I speak way to soon. I have not been able to get one to work since wall-e. BDRB completes the process but the file will not play. For a week now I have tried to do "Ghost" movie only to a dvd-9. I'm not burning to disc. The iso file in PDVD 8 says unsupported format in F drive and PDVD 7 gets error code 8090000A Door is open or disc is not present. I have tried this movie of the disc and afte 20+ hours it was only 73% done. My computer should be running faster than it is. Working off a file either ISO or HDD take 14-18 hours

Download and install the latest FFDSHOW and the Matroska Splitter.
Okay...I'm a DVD-Rebuilder user and, of course, I already have those software:
Should I uninstall them and install the latest available releases? or I'll be safe with the versions that already have:

FFDSHOW is the version 1990 June 8 2008
Haali Media Splitter is the 1.8.122.18

Thanks in advantage.

I dunno why either.....but everyone I have done so far I, my wife, kids, friends, etc. can easily see the difference...just using default settings.

When I try sending to BD 25 man do I see the difference in results...now that is like the original. I am using Trellis and high quality encode.

Dunno really....To be honest, I even tried a small movie (Wall-E) and on my widescreen computer monitor I see the difference, even sitting back a few feet.

Maybe I am just picky...who knows....I do know I REALLY like the results on BD-25....I think I am gonna stay that route and play with converting BR to DVD (which is also cool) until prices of BD-Rs drop.

My screen is a sony 40 "full 1080 p How far away from the screen you see the differences? I am sure that from 5 feet (1.5 m) is practically impossible to see the difference with the Samsumg 10000." The eye simply can not.

Thats one point, the other is compability. Full Backups on DVD9 dont play in most players. On BD-R they play on almost all. For me thats the most important. And thats why I use BD-R.

How often do you really plan to view the extras???? Is those extras really worth backing up onto the BD-9??? I personally more than likely will only watch the movies again, possibly never even watch some of those extras ever again...lmao

That being said, if I really feel the need to view those extras again (which might be twice on some of these Blurays), I'll simply pull out the Bluray itself. I could even use TSSplitter and then BD-RB to create an extras only BD-5 disc on some of them. ;)

A good question is the only movie include the menu and the scenes selection.

[Furiousflea]

A good question is the only movie include the menu and the scenes selection.

That would be a nice option, but presently I don't think it does keep anything other than the movie itself.

[Atak_Snajpera]

FFDSHOW is the version 1990 June 8 2008
Is there any good reason why you still use version from past 6 months!?!? If you have multi-core system I would install FFDshow MT (experimental). Works great on my Quad-Core.

[stenews]

Hi jdobbs and many thanks for your reply :)
as soon as I can I'll make a try of your "already famous" creation and I'll see what's happen

Bye the way I say thanks to you again.
Stefano.

[stenews]

@ Atak_Snajpera
Hi mate and thanks you too for your reply.
I didn't know about the new experimental FFDSHOW release, may be a day I'll give it a try
Regularly, I don't really like to install the latest software release.
I do that only in case it's absolutely necessary.
Basically if a release works for me now, I'll leave it and I change it only when I discover an issue.

Stefano.

[MikeyBK]

@ jdobbs
Just wanted to state that I was succesful with 'Jumper' and those errors, 'runtime 9' is not any bugs in BD-RB v.0.17.13, but rather my firewall...And you already mentioned about the TSMuxer fix (runtime 5 error) in this latest version, so all's great.

BD-RB did a fine job on Jumper.... :thanks:

That would be a nice option, but presently I don't think it does keep anything other than the movie itself.

No menus or chapter selection menus, but does create chapter points so jumping forward and backwards is not a problem... As for whether he would implement retaining any form of manus, he has asked that those kinds of requests be placed in other threads...

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I have been using this software since I discovered it on New Years Eve. So far so good. Keep up the good work and I'll report any issues here if I come across any.

[jwgallardo]

Just reporting back about my problem where my computer got frozen after pass #1 of Shining movie. I reboot everything and I check default options of the program. For some reason, I was playing with the program and I activated the options:
* Status Logging On
* Verbose Status Reporting
I also remember I changed encoding settings during encoding from Idle Priority to Normal Priority.
I am reporting this in order to jdobbs to see if this combination caused the freeze.
What those options do?

BTW, I did movie only and I checked with my sister's PS3 and It played without any problems. When I get back home, I will check with my Denon BD-3800 and I will also process a full movie. I need a new desktop system. With the Lenovo laptop it took 37 hours to process "Shining" (movie only) using an external HDD connected by USB (maybe part of the bottleneck).

Jdobbs: I also vote to have an option to leave original trueHD/DTSHD audio. In my system I can distinguish between audio options in some movies. It is not huge difference though, but most audiophiles love to preserve even the minimal differences.
What happens with movies with 7.1 channels in trueHD audio? Are those downmixed to DolbyEX 7.1?

About the transfer of movie quality I must say it is awesome but I'm not a videophile so it seems excellent to me.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

One thing I have noticed, I run AnyDVDHD on my systems and when ImgBurn kicks in to burn the movie to DVD it complains about AnyDVD being active.

Is it possible to detect if AnyDVD is active and stop it before initiating ImgBurn and when you get control back from ImgBurn start it back up?

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I have a question that deals with the final output size. First off I'm only doing movie only for my media centers. Should I be doing DVD-9 or go with DVD-5? Any advantages to either versus DVD-9 using up twice the amount of space.

[rmeyers]

there are always advantages to more space. the bigger the resolution, the more space you need to use in order for the picture to look good.

personally i'll only be going BD-25. but im waiting for the feature that leaves the audio untouched, including both DolbyHD and DTS-HD, on the rebuilt BD.

[x_specter_x]

can you send me your INF file, INI file, and a list of the working directory? dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com

This is in reference to getting an error 9 at 100%, when it looked like the conversion was completed. I was doing a full copy to DVD9.

OK, I sent you the files today. it happened on night watch and day watch. I noticed that my anydvd was set to remove trailers and adverts when ripping. Could that have been the problem?

[KarstenS]

Rebuilding "Meet the Robinsons" (German) completed (Complete backup to DVD9 size).

In tracks with german sound I've selected AC3 and, when available, DTS.
In tracks with no german sound I've selected English AC3.

Subtitles: all.

No quick encode for extras.

Made ISO Image with ImgBurn, mounted with DeamonTools and started playing with PowerDVD 8 Ultra.

The language menu at start works as it should. Then the first surprise. The standard Disney Blu-Ray promo trailer played with no sound. I looked into audio selection in PowerDVD. German was checked. I manually checked English (USA) ang got now sound...the german one. In the list of audiostreams shows PowerDVD 4 languages. English at first place, german at second place and so on. I think it is the same problem, that another user wrote here with wrong PID.

Same in main movie. Sound got muxed to the places of english.

Another problem with main movie. After 9 mins of playback it hangs. I had to jump manually some seconds forward to continue playback. The next part up to minute 29 or 30 repeated again and again. Then I stopped playback.

I tried also "Movie only" mode, but it selects not the main movie. It selects an extra as main movie.

Meet the robinsons is a very spezial BD. The main movie is split into 35 files. Half of them are tree times on BD. The regular files are with english in-movie text. The others are with german and italiano translations of the in-movie texts.

EDIT: I forgot. At end i got Error 9 'subscript out of...'. The last what it did was copying the BD structure files.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Has anybody had issue with Hancock or X Files - I want to believe? I tried both tonight, with Beta 12 and 13 and get the same results. When the software goes into the encoding of the movie I get numerious X264.exe errors and bunches and bunches of ffdshow and matroska icon in the notification area.

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/waynecierkowski/x264stoppedworking.jpg

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/waynecierkowski/TonsofIcons.jpg

I'm running Vista X64 with a Q6600 quad processor and 8 GB of memory.

I was able to get around Hancock by running the Blu-Ray DVD through TSMuxeR and only put out the video and audio stream I wanted but after going through BD-RB some of the Audio was out of sync with the Video by a sec or two.

[datman]

well it's about to complete another 24 hour process. I wish I could figure out why it's so slow. I have a amd 6000+ that clocks at 3.10 x 2. My c drive is on a 120 g 7200 rpm IDE drive and my working and storage folder are in a 1tb 7200 external usb 2.0 drive.
I don't know why my first try went so well. I don't think I had MatroskaSplitter installed and I also installed Avisynth2585 after the first sucessful try. Either way the end product will not play.

I know it's something wrong with my system. I'm at wits end doing 24 hour test runs. May be it's "Ghost" next time I'll try another disc.

[datman]

nope it failed same door open error in pdvd 7 (3319a)

[rmeyers]

im reporting my findings from a test run of Transformers to a full BD-9

I am using PowerDVD Ultra, no STB yet. Under the list of audio and subtitles available, it had the list of all of the original subtitles even though i only selected the english ones. e.g. under "Audio Languages" there still was French and Spanish listed even though when they are selected nothing happens, same with the subtitles. i know below it says all subs were selected, but they weren't, so i provided a pic to show that no subs would show up when i had spanish selected. EDIT: i was going to take a pic and show you, but i guess Print Screen is disabled when a HD movie is playing.

The "Transformers HUD" under the Extras did not work. screen goes blank, and no sound, but when i hit 'pop-up menu' it goes back to the extras screen, so it wasnt frozen. The commentary and BD-Live work.

In the main movie, the Dolby HD did not work. When it was selected, no audio played, and in the Show Information dialog box, nothing was there. i had both audio options selected in BD-RB (did not downsample audio).

The video is MPEG-4 AVC. all videos and extras are 1080p. sizing was 7.51GB (8,071,069,696 bytes), which is good. menu worked perfectly.

It was MatroskaSplitter that I installed prior to my 2nd try. It's not listed as required software. I might have installed thinking it was. I doubt this my problem but I uninstalled it and I am trying again. If the speed is faster than 0.19 I'll post otherwise I'll post tomorrow night.

jdobbs clearly states in his first post that Matroska is required for BD-RB to work. Or are you talking about something else??

everyone should just install the latest version of the K-Lite Codec Pack Standard. it has everything. updated almost weekly.

That is a horrible idea. K-Lite is responsible for more problems than fixes, and I can't count the number of times a user has come on these forums and posted about an issues that cleared up as soon as they uninstalled it and installed ffdshow.

[writersblock29]

@Jdobbs

I tested a copy of Reservoir Dogs on a Sylvania NB501SL9 set top player, and can confirm that this particular model has issues with menu structures on a BD9. It starts off with the Lionsgate splash screen... full audio... then goes blank. The LED readout on the front of the player informs you that it's calling up the menu, but even after waiting several full minutes, it's only a black screen without audio. This same disk plays back fine using the software player Arcsoft Totalmedia Theatre (as does the ISO the disk was burned from) on my HTPC.

I'm not reporting this as a bug, really--I know others have posted about menu issues--I thought it might be good info to know since the Sylvania's an entry-level player, and those who are budget-minded (in this economy, who isn't?) might be attracted to it. I have open access to the player, and don't mind running more tests on other projects if you'd like for me to.

The disk was a Verbatim +R DL (Singapore, not India), burned with IMGburn via ISO image at 2.4X and formatted as DVD-ROM.

Considering that both my HTPC and regular desktops can play them, it makes me wonder if the target audience for BD9 might wind up being HTPC enthusiats. It'd be nice to know why some set top players are so picky.

The disk was a Verbatim +R DL (Singapore, not India), burned with IMGburn via ISO image at 2.4X and formatted as DVD-ROM.

I'd like to confirm what the User "Writersblock29" said above. I have exactly the same issue with my copy of episodic "Lost - disc 1".
After making a full encode, I put the BD9 into my standalone Samsung BD-P1500, it loads, I see the production studio's intro, I see the FBI warnings, and after that, the screen goes black. The device never shows any menues or navigation screen or anything. It stays black, despite the P1500's display saying that it's loading / playing.
The disc plays fine on my PC.
When I do a movie only backup, it plays fine on my standalone (maybe because there are no menues). But in this case, it's not an option, because if I tick "movie only", Rebuilder will pick only one episode, but there's four of them that I need.
I will wait for a new version, cuz I remember jdobbs saying he's considering expanding the "movie only" modality, in order to enable the user to manually select / unselect the content elements that he wants to keep.

[d62ks821]

RESOLVED: I am running XP and had to change VC-1 from disabled to wmv9 in ffdshow video decoder configuration. Now x264.exe doesnt hang at end of first pass encode.

Thanks for your hard work!! :)

...I am having problems with my first attempt of using BD-RB. The initial file parsing completes, but encode hangs at Current progress 100%, Overall progress 0%, and CPU utilization is 0%, looks like nothing is happening.

Note that I can open up the F:\Working\WORKFILES\VID_00000.AVS file in virtualdub without problems, so looks like the source, avisynth and codecs are ok.

Here is the log at this point:

And INFO.AVS has already been generated by x264.exe and looks ok.

...and when I check taskmanager, sure enough x264.exe is still running and has not completed that command. SO, as an experiment I try manually running the above command from Command Prompt. It seems to complete OK, but never returns to command prompt. hmm, same symptom.

As an experiment I try just killing the hung x264.exe repeatedly, and then the BD-RB goes on with to next step ok:

.

.
7 hours later: x264.exe hung at end of 1st pass, showing current progress 100% and frames: 217840/217841 ...so again, why would x264.exe be hanging?

Its not beta testing if you're not using the BD-Rebuilder program as packaged by the author. The whole idea is to find out where the problems exist, so they can be fixed.

dont worry about my codecs. i can test however i want bud. im talking to the people that are doing this and are clueless about codecs. in fact, im gonna go on offense here and say, im pretty sure im the only one here who is providing any useful data about a rip all in one post. see post # 463. thats how you test.

[Trahald]

I dont think there is anything wrong with testing with your own codecs AS LONG AS you are prepared that if something goes wrong you may need to duplicate the error with a stock install before real troubleshooting can occur. The problem with people knowledgeable enough to tweak the beta is that 'some' tend to leave out the fact they did tinker assuming they are too good to have caused a problem themselves when reporting bugs. As long as the tinkerer is humble enough to either admit they changed something when making a bug report and/or do a run with a stock setup to ensure it really is a bug. tinkering should be ok.

[turbojet]

Has anybody had issue with Hancock or X Files - I want to believe? I tried both tonight, with Beta 12 and 13 and get the same results. When the software goes into the encoding of the movie I get numerious X264.exe errors and bunches and bunches of ffdshow and matroska icon in the notification area.

It has some clips ffdshow can't decode, the only work around i know of is to use coreavc, maybe sonic filters would work too. If BD-RB had support for DGAVC that could also be used.

[datman]

It was MatroskaSplitter that I installed prior to my 2nd try. It's not listed as required software. I might have installed thinking it was. I doubt this my problem but I uninstalled it and I am trying again. If the speed is faster than 0.19 I'll post otherwise I'll post tomorrow night.


OK I figured out what I did wrong. :o In the ffdshow setup there are a lot of options you can check. Stupid me checked them all.

I unchecked them all and made sure mpeg-2 was chosen. Everything worked fine. My speed was up to .56

Can anyone tell me the best configuration for all the options in ffdshow.

[rmeyers]

this is what i got. cant maximize the screen. everything above what is shown is libavcodec. i have vista x64.

Absolutely perfect wording Trahald :goodpost:

@rmeyers... considering that you are the only one who knows all things about all codecs... why would such an extraordinary codec master like yourself jeapordize their own system by loading 'all' codecs onto their system regardless of 'IF' they are even needed at all by any programs????????????? Are you saying that no codecs could possibly conflict with each other??

[writersblock29]

I'd like to defend those who are trying BD Rebuilder using alternate codecs. Since every one of us--no matter how we're using the program--runs the risk of winding up with an unusable encode after hours of trying (hence, the very nature of beta testing), I don't see where one approach is automatically better than the other. Consider a conversation that goes something like this:

USER A: "I tried X disk using X settings, and it failed."
USER B: "I just did that same disk using ______ codec pack, and it went smoothly."
USER A: "Hey! I just re-ran it using that pack, and it works!"
JDOBBS: "Well I'll be damned!"

Let's even expand this hypothetical situation further, and say that Jdobbs is able to incorporate the codec pack into his program (which, let's not forget, is somewhat of a front end for other freeware software--like FFdshow). Jdobbs winds up with a stronger release. Isn't that the entire point to allowing the public to test it out?

[MikeyBK]

BD-RB is working perfectly as is for me, only three instances were that ffdshow did not have mpeg2 checked by default, and my Comodo firewall blocked BD-RB access to call up ffdshow and Matroska on this latest Beta, and of course the runtime 9 error when I used a TSMuxer BD structure as the source, but this issue was fixed in this latest beta ..... so why suggest to others that they should simply install a codec pack without knowing what the issues are caused by??

If you'd like to test your own alternative codecs, I'm all for them to try them out, but not when they start randomly suggest codec packs to someone who ended up with only a configuration issue with ffdshow.

I hear you, but that's not really what I meant. What I'm saying is that many people use codec packs for normal video playback, and are very happy with them. If they have to uninstall them to use a product like BD RB, then they lose everything about that pack that they liked. Why not try the encodes with what they've got on their system? I ask this because most of the codec packs I'm familiar with use FFdshow, anyway; and I remember a post by Jdobbs (I forget where, but perhaps he'll see this exchange and offer his experience) where he said he was using the CoreAVC decoder. CoreAVC isn't a codec pack, no... but it's not standard FFdshow, either.

I also offered my post--my opinion, yes--to state that while there is the possibility of creating havok, there's also the possibility of solving an issue that exists with using the Rebuilder program as is. (Interlaced VC-1 handling, for example.) So long as the user states what he/she is doing, what codec or codec pack they have, and methods they've tried... I'm not saying it'll elliminate it, but hopefully it will keep Jdobbs from bumping down blind alleys trying to beta test us.

I wouldn't recommend installing whatever arbitrary pack whenever issues occur. I'm saying why not try what you've already got, and if it gets you around a problem others are having... examine why that is. I feel such an instance would prove benifical to Jdobbs in creating a stronger product.

[rmeyers]

boom goes the dynamite.

Responding to below:

the K-Lite Codec Pack does not have any configuration issues. it is setup up to work out of the box. that why everyone can use it. it can also check for corrupt codecs, and allow you to remove them if you choose.

anyway, im gonna do the same test i did before, except with shrinking to a BD-25 instead of BD-9 and see if the same issues exist.

[MikeyBK]

I also understsnd your point as well writer's block, and perhaps this debate should be more appropriate in it's own thread. This debate basically started because rmeyers suggested that datman simply install the codec pack to solve his issues, several other members disagreed, as did I.

As it turns out datmans' problem was basically along the lines that he tried to have all codecs checked (same possible issue with codec packs??), so clearly it was simply a configuration issue and not any bug in BD-RB, so no codec pack was even necessary to begin with.

If you have a codec that can be utlized already by BD-RB, by all means use it, but why suggest a codec pack to someone else that may end up screwing things up further??? And based on what datmn stated, I'd think that installing that codec pack would've been very problematic for his individual case.

BTW, I'm confident that JDobbs, as well as many a members here are far more advanced in codecs and compatibility than any of us.... JMHO...

[datman]

Yes MikeyBK, I don't know what I was thinking JDobbs would have listed anything that needed to be checked. It was just that many of the titles looked like something I would want (someday)

The good news is that my last process "Dumb & Dumber" seemed to work perfect. The target size was DVD-9. The picture was at or near 100%. MY speed on my current run is 0.65 I'm very happy with that.
The long process time is no problem if you time it right. As JDobbs said run it at night go to bed, I even set my defrag to run at noon everyday so when I come home it's done, defragged an ready for another run:cool:




JDobbs I read an earlier post asking about there being an option to keep the highend audio. Would this option be interely posible if the target was a BD-25 disc

[MR.WaynesWorld]

It has some clips ffdshow can't decode, the only work around i know of is to use coreavc, maybe sonic filters would work too. If BD-RB had support for DGAVC that could also be used.

If I get the coreavc how do you intergrate it into BD-RB?

[jdobbs]

@ALL

Read the title of this thread, please:

BUG REPORTS ONLY.

It's getting to the point the even I don't want to read this thread anymore because I have to go through 10 "my opinion" posts for every "here's a bug" post.

[writersblock29]

@Jdobbs

Point taken, and I offer my appologize for my own role.

Back on topic, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull suffers the same playback as Reservoir Dogs. Both disks play back fine if done as "movie-only." The opening studio splash screens seem to be no issue... it's that menu that gives the Sylvania ST player its hassle. As before, Arcsoft Totalmedia Theatre has no problem with either full disk or movie-only backups.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

@Jdobbs

Please see post #460. I believe this is a bug on how the program is handling the video stream for some movies.

[MikeyBK]

An odd thing occurred while trying to do movie only of An American Carol.

As you can see in the screenshot below, the movie playlist consists of a second m2ts file (only 600 KBs and is just a 'Thanks To' screen)... so BD-RB loads it as part of the movie only mpls, however when the encoding starts BD-RB calls up two instances of both FFDSHOW and Matroska??

Not sure if this is a bug or it is by design?

I aborted and used TSMuxer to create a movie-only BD of this title and BD-RB did a perfect job on it.

This sounds similar to what is happening to me with Hancock and X Files - I want to Believe. But I get many instances of FFDShow and Matoska. More then I can count...

[GaPony]

I have the same issue with Hancock... It doesn't matter if its a full copy or Movie Only. I had problems with a couple other movies and I re-ripped them with a newer version or AnyDVD (6.5.1.0), and the conversion was successful. I'll try Hancock again later..

[turbojet]

MR. WaynesWorld for X-Files I Want to Believe this will fix it. (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1234406&postcount=477) I just did a full backup successfully with coreavc a few days ago. Maybe the same issue with Hancock?

[d62ks821]

7 hours later: x264.exe hung at end of 1st pass, showing current progress 100% and frames: 217840/217841 ...so again, why would x264.exe be hanging?


RESOLVED: I am running XP and had to change VC-1 from disabled to wmv9 in ffdshow video decoder configuration. Now x264.exe doesn't hang at end of first pass encode.

Thanks.. I'll give it a try tonight... I also nioticed that AnyDVDHD released a new release today, 6.5.1.1. That too maybe worth trying. So I may just re-rip the movie down to HD and try your solution. Is there anything I need to do in program?

[turbojet]

You'll need to disable h264\avc decoding in ffdshow so it uses another directshow filter. You can load the m2ts into graphstudio to figure out which filter its using. The problem is with some of the 480i clips, I can't remember offhand which. ffdshow isn't very robust at handling interlaced h264/VC-1 streams and when you come across these it's always safer to use an alternative. I've found these to work the best on interlaced streams if you have to use directshow.
for AVC, CoreAVC (may cause some artifacts on some recent 'non-compliant' retail blurays)
for VC1, WMVideo DMO 9 (part of wmp11)
for MPEG2, Cyberlink PowerDVD 8 (shareware) another alternative is ffdshow libavcodec.

What has handled the widest variety of streams for me are DGAVC, DGVC1 (unfortunately requires a newer nvidia card), DGMpeg2. But these aren't currently supported by BD-RB

I haven't come across or seen reports of any progressive streams failing to decode by ffdshow's libavcodec.

[datman]

My apologies Jdobbs.

Well I tried this solution and I must have done something wrong because I got a different problem. No x264.exe error but was hun at 20 frames and multiple Hali icons appearing and going away.

[Custom_VCD]

I had the same error with two different movies. Dances with Wolves European Version and Me Myself and Irene, as the encoding was finishing I got an aften.exe stopped responding error. Im running windows 7 beta, was curious if you had any thoughts. I would like to donate too, i was one of the first beta testers for you on the original rebuilder project

[turbojet]

Well I tried this solution and I must have done something wrong because I got a different problem. No x264.exe error but was hun at 20 frames and multiple Hali icons appearing and going away.

Did BD-RB finish without errors?

The haali icon will popup on every new stream. I've seen it 'stick' in the tray at times, hover the mouse over it and it disappears.

PS ffdshow build 2600 has fixed the 2 interlaced type clips I had, one was avc, other was mpeg2 (which decodes with libavcodec correctly, but not libmpeg2)

[MikeyBK]

Death Wish movie only played havoc on BD-RB. It is a multiple-m2ts movie Bluray and when the encoding started it pulled up an endless amount of FFDShow and Matroska instances... if I let it keep going, who knows how many instances there would've been. It already pulled up nearly 30 instances of both before I aborted. Not sure if this would also be the case if I did full disc as well...

I'll be joining all the movie m2ts files together using TSSplitter, then will load it onto BD-RB.

Not sure if this info helps you any JD, but let me know if you need me to try something else or do it another way...

[zakia]

hi,

I rebuild a bd movie yesterday to a BD25 and I ran out of disk! :eek: The files in "WORKFILES" folder seems to be ok, the .264 is 21GB but the resulting m2ts is only 9GB I'm guessing due to insufficient disk space.

How do I combine the WORKFILES to make a blu-ray?? I don't wanna start over and wait another 10 hours... help... thanks.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Well I downloaded FFDshow rev. 2602 and I'm currently doing X Files - I Want to Believe. So far so good. Have a bunch of ffdshow and haali icons but it is still moving along. Almost 22 fps and it's done over 25,000 frames right now. Guess i'll see when the process if complete... Let's hope its good...

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Hung at almost 25% done.... Back to research again....

[shamoo]

ok you might laugh buy here goes anyway. i have downloaded all that was required, but every time i choose the source file it comes up with "selected source is not BD format" i used anyDVDhd to rip to my hd that didn't work, then i used tsmuxer deleted what i didn't want and outputeed as "blu-ray disk"
ALSO in settings in the target size, does this reflect the quality of the film?

[jwgallardo]

Well, I came back home and I tested the backup of "Shining" with the Denon BD-3800. Everything is working except for the video showing just a back screen.

Backup:
Shining: DVD-5 / DVD+R / Movie Only / AC3 audio 448kbps / Spanish subtitles

It worked in the PS3 using the composite out (HDMI out not tested).

Now it is not working on BD-3800 using HDMI out. I will test other video outputs (composite / component). Everything else is working: audio, subtitles and recognized as BD disc in BD-3800. I checked with the original movie and works ok. Maybe, like the problem with Full Movie PS3, there is an issue recognizing that a DVD-5 disc may contain a BD movie?

[MikeyBK]

Choose the movie title folder and not the BDMV or Stream. Yes, target size means what output size you'd want... so if you plan to put it onto a BD-R > choose BD-25

[shamoo]

lol it worked, i thought i tired that to be honest oops! thanks.
i do have 1 question, why are people "shrinking" the movie like the dark night to a dl dvd, surely this will hamper the picture quality? i cant understand the point of having a blu-ray home system just to lower the pic quality? or am i missing something?
also, if i DID put a movie onto a DL DVD will it play in a normal dvd player as blu-ray quality or only in a blu-ray player as its a blu ray format?
watch this space i'm sure i'll have more questions lol

The whole idea of BD-RB is that it will retain virtually all of the picture quality even when reduced in size to a BD-9. You will have to see it with your own eyes to understand....

However, jdobbs specifically asks that this thread be for BD-RB bug reporting, so I'm sure he'd appreciate if you were to open another thread with your further questions about BD-RB...cheers

Edit: perhaps the Mods can move shamoo's posts into a thread of it's own?

[shamoo]

ok it worked but as it started an error came up.
"run time error 76 path not found"
any idea's?

also in the set up, it has a option to tick "colour boost (10%)"
is this worth ticking to boost the pic quality?

[datman]

I just did "A Room with a view" took 20 hours and had no audio. I usually work from my remuxed files and not the discs (to save mileage on my drive) I always choose the best audio option on this film it was DTS-HD. I guess the big red X under the audio tab means no DTS-HD conversion at this time or is the a setting I can change.:thanks:

no BDRB does convert dts-hd. I pulled up another film and it will work. perhaps it was because I coverted it to a BD file from the HD-DVD rip and the saved audio is 3018Kbps.

[Ryu77]

I am not sure what has already been mentioned yet (please excuse me for not having the time to read back 26 pages) but I just completed a test recode.

My target was to BD-25 as I wanted to test the prospect of burning to Blu-ray discs in the future.

My test backup was The Dark Knight.

- First bug: I selected the TrueHD track and also the regular Dolby Digital track to keep. I also ticked the box "Do not reencode AC3". However, the end result was that I got two Dolby Digital tracks at 640kbs. Is there a way to keep the TrueHD track?

- Second bug: All the chapters were off by a gradually larger amount, and because of this BD RB seems to have dropped some. There were 40 chapter available in the original and only 31 available after the re-authoring.


Otherwise, thank you for what looks to be a very promising application. :-)

Edit: I just realised that that the checkbox states "Do not reencode AC3" not "Do not reencode Dolby TrueHD" like the "I can not read properly Fairy" made me think! My apologies.

[kevinm207]

I would like to report that I have successfully backed up The Dark Knight (movie only) to DVD5. JDobbs, thanks for a great product!

I do have three questions.
1) I have some artifacts during heavy actions scenes; is this simply because it's such a long, action packed movie? In other words would burning to DVD9 fix this problem?
2) Does the PS3 not play "full" backups? I haven't tried one yet, but I was reading some earlier posts. If so, that's sad; it's touted as the best Blu-ray player.
3) The project, from start to finish (after the ripping of course), only took 3:44! Is that normal? I'm running a Core 2 Quad (Q6600) overclocked to 3.6GHz on Windows 7 Beta. Seriously, I'm not complaining, when I was fiddling around with a "full" backup (not overclocked - 2.4GHz) in Windows XP it took like 20+ hours if I remember right. I ended up loosing that project during the reformat. Anyhow, is this kudos to 3.6GHz quad, Windows 7, or both?

It's certainly kudos to JDobbs! Thanks again!!!

[kevinm207]

Well since BD-RB had issues with Death Race's multiple m2ts seamless branching main movie playlist, as mentioned in my earlier post, I'm guessing that BD-RB cannot do these Blurays with main-movies that have multiple-m2ts... guess this is a bug of sorts, unless there are some members who got BD-RB to function correctly with similar Blurays?

I used TSSplitter to join all the multiple m2ts files on the main movie playlist, and then had to run it thru TSRemux to create a single seamless m2ts file.... it is now running smoothly thru BD-RB.

So Death Race and similar Blurays must be run thru TSSplitter and TSRemux in order to work thru BD-RB movie/only mode.... am I correct? Anyone tried Rattatoullie?

[jdobbs]

It's supposed to handle seamless branching ok... can you give me some details as to what, exactly, isn't working? I looked at your post. When making a movie-only version of a seamless branching title, BD-RB creates an AVS file that concatenates all the separate parts (.M2TS sources) into a single stream. That would probably explain all the multiple occurances of FFDSHOW/Matroska... what happens if you let it run?

As I mentioned in that earlier post, an endless amount of ffdshow and matroska instances kept popping up along my taskbar. If I allowed it to keep going my system would probably have shut it down.

There were 24 m2ts files that made up the main movie, and they all did show up when I chose movie-only mode.... but once encoding started, the endless ffdshow & Matroskas.

Rebuilding "Meet the Robinsons" (German) completed (Complete backup to DVD9 size).

In tracks with german sound I've selected AC3 and, when available, DTS.
In tracks with no german sound I've selected English AC3.

Subtitles: all.

No quick encode for extras.

Made ISO Image with ImgBurn, mounted with DeamonTools and started playing with PowerDVD 8 Ultra.

The language menu at start works as it should. Then the first surprise. The standard Disney Blu-Ray promo trailer played with no sound. I looked into audio selection in PowerDVD. German was checked. I manually checked English (USA) ang got now sound...the german one. In the list of audiostreams shows PowerDVD 4 languages. English at first place, german at second place and so on. I think it is the same problem, that another user wrote here with wrong PID.

Same in main movie. Sound got muxed to the places of english.

Another problem with main movie. After 9 mins of playback it hangs. I had to jump manually some seconds forward to continue playback. The next part up to minute 29 or 30 repeated again and again. Then I stopped playback.

I tried also "Movie only" mode, but it selects not the main movie. It selects an extra as main movie.

Meet the robinsons is a very spezial BD. The main movie is split into 35 files. Half of them are tree times on BD. The regular files are with english in-movie text. The others are with german and italiano translations of the in-movie texts.

EDIT: I forgot. At end i got Error 9 'subscript out of...'. The last what it did was copying the BD structure files.Looks like this would be a good test disc... I haven't tried it. I'll pick it up and run it through.

I could let it try and run, but there were more than 24 instances of both already and more were continuing to pop up.
It's running the TSSplitter/TSRemux m2ts right now, but I'll give it a whirl again tomorrow nite.I'm guessing there would be as many instances as there are M2TS files.

I think there may be a bug in the placement of the icons also. On my system I get multiple ones that don't go away from the tray -- but if I run the cursor over them, they disappear.

I may have to relook at the concept of combining them in the AVS. Maybe I'll reencode all of them individually and then combine them in the multiplexing. I haven't tried that yet...

[shamoo]

Did you set the working path to output to?

i just set it in a folder called working which is on my hd the movie folder is in.

My apologies Jdobbs.

On my 2nd computer last night had a audio reincode error.

@jdobbs

I have three movies that have caused me grief with BD-Rebuilder. X Files - Fight the Future, X Files - I want to Believe and Hancock. All three give me multiple ffdshow and Matroska icons in the notification area and end up with multiple x264.exe errors. If there is anything I can do to help you debug this issue please let me know.

Other then those three every other one has been processed and worked perfectly.

Please keep up the great work on this program.

[jdobbs]

It appears I've overlooked something in the processing or LPCM files. When they are demuxed, any that are larger than 4GB are split into smaller files by TSMUXER -- I didn't account for that, and that's why they are screwing up when an LPCM track is kept.

[jdobbs]

Similar to the above... when doing movie only I created an AVS file that concatenated the video files... I just did a test with a large group of M2TS files (because of multiple story paths) and it failed ("out of memory"). I'm going to rethink how I do these for movie-only and will post a fix.

One way is to go ahead and mux all the m2ts segments into one part (mkv), just like eac3to does when you remux to mkv. This way you'd also be able to make use of audio gaps (from my own experience this is most important when you keep the ac3 core of a True-HD track from a seamless branching title).

That's a possibility, but unfortunately it also means you have to have an additional 15-40GB of free space for the temporary MKV file. It wouldl also solve the LPCM problem, as it could be muxed into the M2V and encoded via AVS support.

Also just to confirm, I reloaded Death Race/ Movie-Only from the full disc, and it also failed (screenshot below). I counted 67 instances of both ffdshow & Matroska, despite there being only 24 m2ts files in that movie playlist.
The out of memory error was kinda why I was thinking my system would shut it down, but instead BD-RB shut itself down.

Just FYI though, the remuxed (thru TSSplitter & TSRemux)movie m2ts of Death Race went flawlessly thru BD-RB. Beautiful BD-9... looks every bit as crisp as the original.

[mech61]

Just tried Starship_Troopers_AUS for the 3rd time with the same result "runtime error 424" "object missing". This time I noticed that ffdshow isnt running during the encode, could that be the problem?

[jdobbs]

Just tried Starship_Troopers_AUS for the 3rd time with the same result "runtime error 424" "object missing". This time I noticed that ffdshow isnt running during the encode, could that be the problem? That's just a residual error caused by the earlier one.

any idea what the cause of the earlier problem is?

[jdobbs]

Yes. I think so. I'm working it.

If someone can PM me and give advise on how to record and report errors. I could use the lesson.


I just didnt realize it was an error I thought it was a normal part of the process. Thanks for the great program and work you've done by the way. I am thinking my files size was too big do to something with the audio files I selected, maybe i had too many.

Hello Jdobbs,

I used BDRebuilder to copy the entire disc of (NTSC version) Bladerunner Theater/directors cut. By default it would only select 1 english audio channel. I went ahead and added the second dolby digital english channel to all of the segments. Then encoded and all the menus work and I can select the different versions but for some reason it shows 3 English audio channels available. When I switch them they all sound the same. There isn't a theatrical release audio version that has the voice over by Harrison Ford. Is that a bug when using multiple audio tracks with BDRebuilder?

[jdobbs]

There isn't a theatrical release audio version that has the voice over by Harrison Ford. Is that a bug when using multiple audio tracks with BDRebuilder?It all depends whether the two you selected were both track audio or one was the commentary. Sometimes there can be more than one track of the same thing, only one might be DD 2.0 while another is DD 5.1 or LPCM, etc.

In order to prevent silence when selecting other tracks (from menus for instance) I always take the first selected audio track and insert its stream ID into the tracks that are removed. So if you selected only two English tracks to keep, the first English track would be played for French and Spanish as well. This concept also is meant to adjust for discs in which the main (default) track is English but you want to keep only Spanish (or another language). The Spanish stream ID would be inserted into all "empties" and therefore also become the default.

Hope that makes sense.

jdobbs,

someone posted this on videohelp.com. if you haven't seen it you may find it helpful.

"Well adding to my previous comments....patching bd rebuilder (index.bdmv file) with Avchd.patcher V.1.5.Solved the data disc problem with Ps3.........Now the disc plays fine with Ps3 and standalone Bluray players,mine Samsung Bdp-1400.....Keep up the good work....."

here is a link to show what the patcher does: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.php?p=15285018&postcount=1662

...
That explanation about audio tracks does make sense. I thought they were both DD5.1 but could be wrong. I will check to make sure there is voice over on the original and try and figure out what happened. thanks for the help.

[jdobbs]

I think that will probably work on discs that have no BD-J... but most of the blockbuster movies (e.g. Dark Knight) have BD-J in use somewhere.

[turbojet]

Depends on the player too, a Panasonic BD30 and Magnavox players don't work correctly after AVCHD-Patcher, although on the BD30 avchd patching allows the title logo to play then crashes at menu while it gave incompatible disc with untouched BD-RB output. Tried 2 different non BD-J discs. one with a top menu another without a top menu.

I'm going to try with FIX_CLPI=0 and see if that makes a difference on either player.

Hello JDOBBS,

Thank you one more time for your nice soft. I usesly make some dvd for long time with dvd Rebuilder. So as we are now in HD, i want to test the BD rebuilder with A bluray disc. Everything will be ok instead of at the end of audio part. see the screen :

Did i miss something about encoder or decoder ??? or something to set for ffdshow ?......

Thank you for your help

Best regards ans Happy New Year to everybody.

Using BD-RB 0.17.0.13 I tried to shrink Hellboy to BD-25 (Full Backup).
Encoding went well, but phase two failed on "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range"
What can be the cause of this error?
How can I debug it?

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lotCan you look at the source path and tell me the file length of MovieObject.bdmv? It should be in the directory "D:\HELLBOY\BDMV". Also, is there a "CERTIFICATE" folder included in your source path?

Do you get the error again if you rerun the program (it should allow you to pick up where it left off)?

Can you post your BDREBUILDER.INI file so I can run a test using the same parameters as you?

Just to be sure for testing... is this "HELLBOY (Director's Cut)" or "HELLBOY II"?

Thanks.

@jdobbs,
I have had this same error, but on a different disc. Mine was on Pirates of the Caribbean the Curse of the Black Pearl Bonus Disc 2. I don't know if you have tried this one before or not, but it errored on 2 different computers of mine. From previous post:

Just had a failed attempt, "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range. Happens as PHASE ONE completes, PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started. Press OK and BD-RB just closes. So I make a back-up folder and put the contents of the 1st attempt into that folder and restart BD-RB and press back-up again, and it continues after the resume message. However, after Rebuild appears to just finish the last M2TS, the same Run-time error pops up. Checking the two folders, the newly created and previously created but moved to a back up folder, BD-RB appears to have created the BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders for both attempts. Both have all the same files inside and report the same (3.71GB). Maybe I should try and burn this to disc just to see if it will play. if I can provide more info, let me know.

Burned to disc, and even though it is recognised as an AVCHD and starts to play with a black screen for 9 seconds, it then stops.

Can you look at the source path and tell me the file length of MovieObject.bdmv?
For Pirates disc, 267KB, same as the original.

Also, is there a "CERTIFICATE" folder included in your source path?
Yes.

Do you get the error again if you rerun the program (it should allow you to pick up where it left off)?
Yes.

Don't know if you have this disc, which is pretty small (14.8GB original, NTSC), but mine also undersized. If I can provide any other info, let me know.

I'll look at your INI -- but I've done this one (at least the NTSC version) several times in testing... was it modified or preprocessed in any way?

[Edit] I just noticed this was disc two... the main disc was what I'd used for testing.

Also -- the above error seems to have occured during the copy of a file. From your LOG it appears that you are getting through the REBUILD first... while this one stops immediately (while copying the unchanged files from the original).

Yes, agreed, thats what it looked like. It appeared to error on the copying of the MovieObject.bdmv file.
I did not preprocess this disc nor will I to any of my discs, just AnyDVDHD and then BD-RB. I don't want there to be any possible adverse influences on this testing. Challenging enough as is!!

[laserfan]

When I try BD-RB I immediately get a Haali Media Splitter error box:

Error: can't open file: The media type of this file is not recognized.

This seems not to be a BD-RB problem, but I wonder if anyone can suggest what Haali might be trying to tell me? Un-install/reinstall doesn't help.

Got it. Thanks. This one is troubling... as it could only occur in a limited section of code -- and I can't find it there. I'm running "HELLBOY" now, hopefully I can repeat it.

[x_specter_x]

BD Rebuilder has an issue with 3:10 to Huma (NTSC). when I set it for movie only and start the backup process, it will reach 100% on both bars but continue processing. I loaded Haali Media Splitter and could see that video was still being processed. I let it run an additional 12 hours (total of 36 hours) and it was still at 100% and still running. Also, there were only a few hundred megs in files in the working directory.

Jdobbs,
one more question about Bladerunner. I checked the video files in windows media player and it does contain both audio tracks (one with the voice over). I think the problem was a setting in BD Rebuilder. there is a setting to "limit to one track for each language", I had it checked off. So even though there were 2 different english tracks, when I played back the DVD in POWERDVD and selected an audio track, all 3 were the same. Do you think it is because of the "limit...setting"?

[jdobbs]

No, I don't think so. That would limit you to one track of automatic selection -- but if you changed it in the Streams browser, you would still get it. Also, it wouldn't be in the resulting M2TS.

As jdobbs might be suspecting, perhaps you should try to change your output folder (working path) to some other folder. Maybe create another folder and name it BD-RB Projects??? That what I was thinking the first time you posted about the path not found error.

[gizzin]

I just did terminator blueray to bd5. The sizing was accurate. Upon rebuilding when it finished I get a subscript out bounds error 9. However everything was rebuilt properly. As far as playback goes in my SAP (BDP-300S), Nothing works properly with the menu except the scene selection. Everything else just results in a black screen (all extras, and play button). Eventually leaving the menu on for awhile the audio also disappears but you can still navigate. I played the whole movie from the scene selection, playback seems fine no sync errors.

just for information the BD Enemy of the State is divided by 2 parts and when i choose the folder i have that :

is that normal ? I'm making the assumption you are doing movie-only. Are there two parts to the movie or two versions of the movie? From the screen capture you provided I have to believe that the way it is represented in the MPLS files (which define the playback) that 00008.M2TS is played independently of the other file.

Yes about the movie, we have two part of the movie :

00001.M2TS and 00008.M2TS. But why i have just one part when we choose the folder containing this movie, normaly we must havethe fisrt one and the second one for making choice about audio and subtitle. So ??? as i see when i set to reencode the movie only, i have the only the second part of the movie in the working folder.

Usely we have only one M2TS file for the movie but this one not ???

Thank you The determination as to which files are included in a movie-only encode is based on the MPLS files (Playlistst). You could have any number of M2TS files that combined make the movie. Normally the MPLS that has the largest combined size (all referenced M2TSs) is selected as the movie. Has this disc been modified or edited in any way?

any ideas?It looks like the encoder crashed. Are you using the FFDSHOW codecs?

[ed209nl]

I've tried to make movie-only backups of 300 (VC-1) and Ironman (AVC) with v0.17.13.

My problem is that both videos looks black and garbled when i play them on my pc (see attachment for an example) and just pure black on a Panasonic BD35 player.
Audio and subs are ok.

I've left all settings at default, only played with the two encoding-speed settings. Target size was BD-25, but i've modified it in the config file to 22,5 GB so it would fit on my BD-RE disc.

I suspected some codec (configuration) error, so i rechecked the instructions form the first page twice and everything is set up right. RipBot is able to create a correct backup with the same codecs & config.

Any ideas to fix this or anything you would like me to try?

[jdobbs]

What did you use to rip the source?

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Trying to do "The Game Plan" and keep getting this error at the end.

I have found that txmuxer, when demuxing lpcm, gives a white noise spike at the start of the lpcm...happends on every LPCM...so if you reencode to ac3, you heat that noise....only lasts 0.2 sec though...weird

[jc243]

I have a MKV Movie Resolution 1920x800 and convert this to bluray with TSMuxer, but this not looking good in TV, picture show streched.

How add this line addborders(0,140,0,140) to AVS File in BD Rebuilder.

Thanks.

I'm planning on releasing v0.18.1 either tomorrow or Saturday. I'll see if I can silence it in the WAV file -- I don't think it will take that long.

Is it the first .2 sec of the file?

Thanks. Hmm... no way right now, the AVS is created immediately before encoding. Let me think about it and maybe I can put a primitive filter editor in...

[jdobbs]

Has anybody else stopped receiving notices when the threads have been updated, or is it just me? I have to check back regularly because I'm not getting notified of postings.

jdobbs, will this new release address the issues I have seen with the X Files (both Blu-Ray disc's) and Hancock? Multiple x264.exe errors along with many Haali and ffdshow icons in the notification area?

Many Thanks for all of your hard work...

I have them installed, is there a certain config I should have set up, or a new version I might need to install?

[Geezer-UK]

hello JDOBBS:)
I'm not the best at this writing things about testing so here i go
i used your BD Reader program and had it set to dvd9 all worked great apart from the fact it was a no go in my ps3 ( which is up to date firmware wise )

i did see a post on cdfreaks i think it was about some who had the same problem and fixed it with a program named
AVCHD-Patcher.exe and this worked

so i did the same thing and it did work

so what I'm saying is I'm not sure how high it is on you list to get dvd9 to work on the ps3 on your list but this program maybe the answer for you

[liquidskin76]

Hi JDobbs,

Will v0.18.1 contain the ability to retain the original HD audio, or do you think that will appear in a future version down the line?

Sorry, not a bug question or report i know, just getting excited about keeping the HD audio!!! :thanks:

[jdobbs]

Many Thanks for all of your hard work...Not sure. I tend to believe the cause to be a configuration error -- because it isn't happening to others. Have you changed the X264 version from that included with BD-RB?

The "many icons" may be fixed... but only if you are talking about movie-only encodes.

BTW, I have done Hancock (NTSC, full backup) without issues.

Sorry, not a bug question or report i know, just getting excited about keeping the HD audio!!! :thanks:No. That's a very low priority. Right now I'm more interested in getting the bad bugs fixed.

[liquidskin76]

No problem... totally understand!

I'll get some more backups going. I'm interested in testing 'Pirates of the Carribean - Curse of the Black Pearl' as it has a mean java menu system. It was one of the early Blu-ray releases that had really long load times on the older Blu-ray players (Sony BDP-S300 was one).

I have the Sony BDP-S350 and it loads the menus much quicker.

Has any one else tried this disc? I'll give it a go over the weekend and post the results.

Cheers

[jah711]

Ok...I tried your beta program BD Rebuilder. Everything went thru I guess as far as the long process which I am aware of. It took 24hrs to do the whole disc of Hancock. Disc reads in my PC Blu-ray reader with audio during the ads and coming attractions. There are two versions on this disc...Theatrical and Unrated. Theatrical shows just a frozen black screen when chosen. Unrated played with no audio and was blank for the first 5min of play...which is where the opening credits are supposed to show. Then the beginning of the movie starts to play in whole but with no audio.
What could have happened here?

[MR.WaynesWorld]

BTW, I have done Hancock (NTSC, full backup) without issues.

If it is a configuration issue I do hope either yourself or someone else can help in finding it. I have done a bunch more Blu-Ray movies and have only had the issue with these three. The x264 version is the same that came with .13 beta.

I only do Movie Only encodes. I do rip the entire disc to my hard drive using AnyDVDHD.

When the new release comes out I'll re-rip the three movies and re-try them.

Many Thanks for all of your hard work...

I had the problem with the multiple Haali and ffdshow icons in the notification, too. I believe it's not a BDrebuilder issue.
I solved it by deinstalling all of those filters and applications, rebooting, and then doing a clean install of the latest version of ffdshow & Haali. No issues since then.

Jdobbs, can I throw a small request in here? Since you're preparing a new version, could you enable the possibility of manually picking more than one movie in "movie only" mode?
I'd really like to continue testing with my episodic discs of "Lost - season 4" (european, PAL). There's 3 episodes on each disk, and in "movie only" BDrebuilder only encodes one of them.
Only if it's not too much work for you, bro.

[Digi]

Ok so i thought i had figured out my previous log error in that rebuilder was mistaking one of the PIP tracks that is included with the main movie M2TS file which there are 2 PIP tracks.

So i decided to use TSMuxer and just strip the main movie and DTS-HD track from the original blu ray, I still get the log error but at least this time rebuilder recognises the correct size for the movie.

I'll have to give that a try when I get home from work... That may be the answer. I'll let you know...

Sorry Not To Be A Bother But I Noticed Someone Asked About Keeping The HD Audio In The Upcoming Version And Your Response Of It Being Low Priority... Will It Atleast Be Possable To Keep The PCM Tracks Selected In Rebuilder And Encoded To DTS Without The Program Crashing? And :thanks: Again.

how about copying the DTS stream without re-encoding. Do you need license in this case?

In A Similar Way To How You Can Mux Any Audio Track To Any Video Track In TSmuxer I Have Tried Replacing Audio Tracks And Adding Them In Thier Myself But Then I Find The BD Structure Doesn't Accept The Replacement File And If I Replace The Info Files The Movie Will Then Play With My Audio Track However I Lose All The Chapter Points...

This is my first time posting, sorry if i make any mistakes. I'm having the same problem with Hancock and with Identity. The program goes to the point when the first phase is done and before it starts on the second phase it gets the error script message 9 and when you hit o.k. the program closes, then when i open up the program to continue where i left off i click okay it starts the second phase and asks me to replace the current folder i hit yes and it get's to the end of the second phase it gets the same script error 9. I even uninstall everything and a clean install of everything again and i still get those errors. I've already made about 15 back ups and they never give me problems. I hope there's a fix for this. Thanks for this awesome app. Donation is on the way.

[rmeyers]

@ datman:

for some reason, it works with the newest version of Virtual CloneDrive (i use the beta, not sure about the newest stable release). i cant get it to work with Alcohol or Daemon. weird. also, i think Slysoft has recognized this occurrence with the newest versions of Cyberlink's software, and have updated the way AnyDVD rips images accordingly.

from their changelog:

New (Blu-ray): Added support for new PowerDVD builds, which displayed a "virtual drive not supported" error

ds9delta must either use CloneDrive or not have PDVD8 build 2217a

I'm presuming that you already know that all those m2ts files combined make up the main movie..... that it is a Seamless Branched title. BD-RB did actually list all those m2ts files in the correct order as the mpls file indicates...I had a multiple ffdshow & Matroska error with Death Race (which had 25 m2ts files making up the main movie). What I did was joined them together into a single m2ts file using TSSplitter..... then remuxed out unwanted audio & PGS streams using TSMuxer... then it loaded into BD-RB and reencoded absolutely perfectly... The BD-9 looks incredible.

Am I doing something wrong here?Maybe I'm confused, but I don't get how you have come to that conclusion. That single M2TS isn't what it thinks is the main movie... the main-movie is the combination of all the M2TS files listed. If it weren't a part of the main-movie it wouldn't be listed. In fact from your post it appears both programs have selected the same MPLS.

What did you use to rip the source?

I used AnyDVD 6.5.0.3 and set it to strip copy protection and region code, all else was left at default.

The rips play fine on my pc and rips that fit directly on a single layer BD-R also work on my standalone player.

I even uninstall everything and a clean install of everything again and i still get those errors. I've already made about 15 back ups and they never give me problems. I hope there's a fix for this. Thanks for this awesome app. Donation is on the way.


I have this exact problem with the pal hancock. I have tried ripping it with anydvd several times (in fact each time a new version is available, almost daily at the moment) and with several version of bd-rb.

Is anyone having problems with the region a pineapple express. Again ripped with the latest anydvd 6.5.1.8, I get several crashes during the process (this happens regulary and I'm starting to think I have bad ram), always resumes on restart (the crashes are random) and when it completes I get the error 9. The files are rebuilt into bd structure and on the output I choose bd25 the resulting files are 18.5gb this has happened three times. I burned the files to a bd-re and the menu hangs for ages and the main movie won't play. Just a black screen.

I've kept all my log files and will post later.

My success' so far
Death proof
pulp fiction
Trainspotting
The truman show

My failiures
Burn after reading(reach retry limit error)
Pineapple express(error 9)
Hancock (error 9)


All these have been full disc rips to bd25.

Is it possible the errors are coming from the rips with anydvd?

I have found bd-rb has more success when I close any-dvd is this just a coincidence or is it interfering somehow. I know it's unlikely as that works from the dvd drives, however it's just my observations.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Maybe I'm confused, but I don't get how you have come to that conclusion. That single M2TS isn't what it thinks is the main movie... the main-movie is the combination of all the M2TS files listed. If it weren't a part of the main-movie it wouldn't be listed. In fact from your post it appears both programs have selected the same MPLS.

Thanks for the reply jdobbs. I guess what I'm saying here is that when I feed the copied Hancock Blu-Ray movie into BD-RB it is not opening up the correct mpls file and putting all of the streams together to do a Movie Only encode. You have to do that on your own.

But that is the only movie along with the two X-files that this has happened to me. I have done a number of other movies and all worked perfectly without any other steps involved.

Even if you would like send me your address via email and I'll send you my copy of Hancock to test with. Maybe it's me but I seem to remember others having the same problem with this movie and other movies that fit the same pattern.

And another Bug with another title i started Indiana Jones last night and after a 14 hour period the program now looks like this

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r23/Digi247/Rebuilder.jpg

The only title i have successfully done so far is constantine down to a single layer DVD-R.

Do i let the program continue or abort it now as it appears to still be running but telling me its done @ 100% which it had only just done the first pass after 12 hours.

Any Ideas?

@jdobbs

that white noise "spurt" is in the first 0.2 seconds it seems...you would need to blank at least that as a test; my son has hockey all day today, if I have time I will try a movie with LPCM and post EXACT place and length of the noise. Not sure who develops tsmuxer, but maybe you could contact them for a fix....

In any case though, how can you get around the 4 gig limits for WAV files? I would be nice to extract the LPCM for a "cleaner" encode to AC3, but there is the 4 gig limit. There is always a 640 AC3 on those type of BR with LPCM anyway though.

Maybe you need to rewrite txmuxer if it is the problem as well...Like you have enought to do anyway LOL!!!

I Have Also Discovered In My Testing Of .17.13 That The BD-25 Setting Can Be A Little To Big I Have Discovered A BD-25 Which Has A Max Limit Of 23,098Mb For Burning, From The Research I Have Done The World Wide Minimum Spec Is 23,045Mb For Any BD-25 I Would Recommend That The BD-25 Setting Be Altered To Reflect This Or Say 23,000Mb For Safety.. (I Think That's Sort Of A Bug But Not Exactly:confused:) Just Something I Thought I Should Mention... And As Long As Your Working On Making Our HD Video Lives Easier I Will Always Say Again :thanks:

Hey JDobbs!!

Thanks great program! I seem to be having just one issue though. I own a PS3 and the LG BD300. I did a Full Disc copy of the Dark Knight. It plays great on the PS3 but I get nothing on the LG. It loads up shows a little BluRay Symbol then goes to the main screen of the Bluray Player. So I hit play and nothing. Any thoughts suggestions on that? I am going to do the Incredible Hulk next. Ill let you know if the same thing happens again! Thanks though I love the program so far!

You should be able to play Movie Only BD9 discs on your PS3 with excellant results... but you can forget a full movie on BD9 on the PS3 from my experience.

Beyond that, I don't know what kind of media you're using or what kind of copy you're making (Full or MO).

That means the encoder is failing. Usually that is an indicator that you aren't betting frame serving via AVISYNTH. Ask him to open the AVS file with Media Player and see if it is playing back the movie. If it doesn't play back (it probably won't) he likely needs to configure FFDSHOW for the appropriate codec.

I was doing Hereos Season 2 Disc 1 full backup to BD-25 since yesterday around 4 in the afternoon. Just now at 92% complete on 13 of 13 I got three X264.exe errors.

A Definate bug i have noticed is that even if you choose not re-encode dts or ac3, it does anyway, even though it doesn't mux the re-encode back into the stream, it still does it, they are there in the workfiles folder.
Another bug on Beowulf Region B i did a BD-25 and i selected to keep the Main English audio (5.1) the Second English Audio (True HD) and the 3rd English Track (ac3 Directors Commentary) the reason i choose to keep the second track was to preserve structure when selecting commentary track, what i noticed is that the true hd track was re-encoded (not a problem) but when remuxed there isn't actually any audio there - in powerdvd 8 when selecting the track it just says Audio: English, but there isn't actually any sound, same on Panasonic DMP-BD30 to0.

I Have Had The Same Problem It Seems That The CLIPINFO Files Are Not Always Updated When The Audio Is Recoded They Still Say That The Audio Should Be DTS-HD Even Though There Is No HD Audio Track There... This I've Found Confuses Any BD Playback Attempt Of The Specific Track The Solution I Found Was To Download A Program Called BDEdit Which Allows You To Modify The Clipinfo Files And Change The Identity Of The HD Track To Standard DTS Or AC3 Whichever The Case Maybe... After Doing This I Have Had All Video\Audio Tracks Playback Fine.. Hope This Helps:helpful:

[smnckl]

I ran a few rebuilds (movie only) and had a couple of them run almost 48 hours before completion. Must admit that the picture quality was nearer astonishing than good considering that the source M2TS files were anywhere from 6GB to 25GB, and the destination is DVD9.
As mentioned, some of the rebuilds went a couple of days. On checking the log, I noticed that all the timestamps after the "PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started" are equal to "PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started".
Is this a bug? Please see section below. I would believe that the 2 last lines in the log should show different timestamps.
My suggestions would be:

Timestamps include date [YYMMDD]
The "PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started" line have timestamp "alpha"
The "JOB: <movie_title> completed." line have timestamp "omega"
And the " - Encode and Rebuild complete" line in-between has the delta of "alpha" and "omega"


BTW, I am running rebuilds on 2 systems, one an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+, Vista SP1 32-bit w/4GB RAM and the second an Intel P4 3.0GHz, Vista SP1 32-bit w/3GB RAM.

Other than that, I would like to say that this is a pretty nice piece of software and definitely worth contributing to.

I am doing BD Full Disc Copies. Using the an LG GGW-H20L Blu-Ray Burner. With LG BD-RE Discs, On a Pentium Core 2 Duo E6850, with 6GBs of RAM. It is taking me almost 3 days to do one full disc and then the disc played(but skips randomly)on the PS3. The disc won't play at all on an LG3000 Blu-Ray Player! The conversion times seem to be too long to me, and I don't understand why they're not playing is all. I love the way the program works and what it does though!

I am having a similar experience with my Samsung BD-P2500 player. It refuses to play any BD content on regular DVD's. It sounds like it is seeking the disk and loading, then displays a full screen " . . . .", then returns to logo screen and reports, "Can not play this disk."

I have tried DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD+R, and DVD+R DL, each with several different movies. I have confirmed that all these disk types work just fine with regular DVD content, ...just not with BD content. All my disks play back perfectly with PowerDVD.

I suspect BD content would work if I burned to BD-R (but I dont want to go there).

Has anyone been able to get BD content DVD to work with the Samsung BD-P2500 player? The Samsung manual implies it only supports DVD-Video on DVD, but also says it supports AVCHD (I am presuming this means DVD as well as BD disks).

Not All Blu Ray Players Will Play Burnt BD.. Eg. My Blu Ray Player Sharp BD-HP20X Will Play Burnt DVD Orig. DVD And Orig Blu-Ray Only AVCHD And Even Exact BD25 Duplicates Will Give Me An Incompatable Disc Error And Spit It Out.. Secondly Depending On Your Setup Settings BDRB Is Supposed To Be Slow I Have An Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 And On Highest Quality Settings I Wait About 48Hours For A Full Disc Backup.. High Definition \ High Quality Is Supposed To Take A Long Time And Won't Really Get Much Faster Then 16to24hours Until We Move Beyond Quad Core... As For The Skipping On The PS3 I Can't Answer That As I Don't Have One... Hope Some Of This Has Been Helpful....:helpful:

It appears that the AVCHD structure that is provided by avchd_leer.zip is that it places the AVCHD folder in the root, and the BDMV folder in a subdirectory of AVCHD. I also used the provided index and MovieObject directly from avchd_leer as there appears to be some difference than those created by BD-Rebuilder. It doesn't use the CERTIFICATE folder at all. The basic structure is:

I_ROBOT_DISC

- AVCHD

------- BDMV

----------- BACKUP
----------- CLIPINFO
----------- PLAYLIST
----------- STREAM
----------- index.bdmv
----------- MovieObject.bdmv

It only takes a couple of minutes to copy the files to the new structure... I still need to try 5 or 6 movies to see if it really works or if it was a one movie fluke. On my first attempt I didn't replace the index.bdmv and MovieObject.bdmv files in the BACKUP folder and it still played. Apparently that folder isn't needed for a Movie Only disc... I'm just guessing about that. A batch file would likely make it quite easy to create the new structure.

I hope this helps some..

I'm guessing that you did not add the AC3 audio when you loaded it in BD-RB...
Like the first screenshot below...
You need to double-click on the red X to be adding the audio stream... like the second screenshot below,,,

Someone on VideoHelp.com suggested the following:
"Jake802, I believe BD rebuilder defaults to 'Trellis algorithm' under Settings/Setup. Uncheck it and see if the coversion time improves drastically. 3 days is way toooo loooong."

I am wondering will this effect anything else in the program? Is it ok to do or not? Thanks!

[Jake802]

Not All Blu Ray Players Will Play Burnt BD.. Eg. My Blu Ray Player Sharp BD-HP20X Will Play Burnt DVD Orig. DVD And Orig Blu-Ray Only AVCHD And Even Exact BD25 Duplicates Will Give Me An Incompatable Disc Error And Spit It Out.. Secondly Depending On Your Setup Settings BDRB Is Supposed To Be Slow I Have An Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 And On Highest Quality Settings I Wait About 48Hours For A Full Disc Backup.. High Definition \ High Quality Is Supposed To Take A Long Time And Won't Really Get Much Faster Then 16to24hours Until We Move Beyond Quad Core... As For The Skipping On The PS3 I Can't Answer That As I Don't Have One... Hope Some Of This Has Been Helpful....:helpful:

OK I dont think this is the case, because I did a simple TSMuxer Movie Copy of the Hulk and have no issues playing it on either the PS3 or the LG300 Blu-Ray Player. Which means I am doing something else wrong...Thanks though!

I'm guessing that you did not add the AC3 audio when you loaded it in BD-RB...
Like the first screenshot below...
You need to double-click on the red X to be adding the audio stream... like the second screenshot below,,,

if it was only so easy, only get true_hd english audio
then ac3 french and spanish.

[GaPony]

if it was only so easy, only get true_hd english audio

BD-Rebuilder will convert the True-HD to AC3... if I understand the process correctly.

[MikeyBK]

if it was only so easy, only get true_hd english audio

Just make sure you check the TrueHD stream, and as GaPony states, BD-RB will encode to AC3.

[pan07]

the truehd stream is checked and as i say i get audio when i play the m2ts stream on the pc, when i burn to disc there is no audio on ps3 or a mates sony player, if i load the m2ts in tsmuxer it reports 640kbps ac3 audio so bdrebuilder is converting the truehd to ac3.

[d62ks821]

Maybe I'll add a "strict AVCHD format" option for movie-only. Can you show me ...

This would be a nice addition. To do this, the final disk structure for Movie Only encode should be:

\BDMV
\BDMV\index.bdmv
\BDMV\MovieObject.bdmv

\BDMV\BACKUP
\BDMV\BACKUP\index.bdmv
\BDMV\BACKUP\MovieObject.bdmv

\BDMV\BACKUP\CLIPINF
\BDMV\BACKUP\CLIPINF\00001.clpi

\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST
\BDMV\BACKUP\PLAYLIST\00000.mpls

\BDMV\CLIPINF
\BDMV\CLIPINF\00001.clpi

\BDMV\PLAYLIST
\BDMV\PLAYLIST\00000.mpls

\BDMV\STREAM
\BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts

Note that all the following empty directories have been removed.

\BDMV\AUXDATA

\BDMV\BACKUP\BDJO

\BDMV\BDJO

\BDMV\JAR

\BDMV\META

\CERTIFICATE
\CERTIFICATE\BACKUP

Yes, these directories can be deleted manually, post BD-DB processing, but that precludes having ImgBurn called automatically by BD-RB.

NOTE: Doing this enables SAMSUNG BD-P2500 player (f/w ver2.4) to recognize and play the disk.

This has been reported before, back on page 4 of this thread #68. It is an apparent issue with some players when selecting full backup. Movie only should not be a problem. Be patient, jdobbs is working on it. Compatibility with most AVCHD players is a time consuming process.

[KiddColt]

Hello,

Great job on this tool jdobbs! However, when I use the "Full backup" mode (to shrink the entire BD) it won't play in my Samsung BDP-1500 (w/ latest fireware). It "loads" then says "play" then displays "0000" (black screen). If I try pressing menu or play I get the good 'ol red slashed circle (prohibited op).
I've tried AVCHD patcher but it claims invalid format.
I haven't tried movie-only mode since tsMuxer works fine for this on my player.

I just tried to backup Max Payne but BDrebuilder only sees the extra PIP track as the main feature it does this everytime i try and load the BD again same thing happens, FYI this is another seamless branching title ( Theatrical cut and Extended Edition ) with 2 PIP tracks in each .M2TS file.

ok i have sorted out my problems with RB and it is now working, i do have a question though, i left it for about 7 hours and it was on 54% when i left the house this morning, about 10hrs later it was still on 54% but the fps had dropped from 5 to 0.96..
the frames were going up but at a very slow rate. is this normal or is something wrong?
i am running pent4 3.2, 1gb of ram. i am backing up a 26.6gb movie to a 25gb BD
how long should this take?

Hello, this is my first post here. First off, I sincerely thank you Jdobbs for the hard work and dedication to your projects that make our lives a little easier.

I am not sure if this is a bug or something stupid that I did wrong. I have recently completed my first backup using this wonderful program. When I finished the backup, I tried playing in in my LG-BD300 on a Mitsubishi 60" WD-60735 1080p DLP Television and the picture was fine for a few seconds then pixelated for a few seconds and it alternates like this throughout the movie. There are also very noticeable horizontal patches throughout the picture. I did a full backup X264 encoder, in high quality mode to 25GB target size. I used Image Burn to burn the project. I followed all instructions to the letter when installing BD Rebuilder. Once again, I am not sure if this is a bug with something or me overlooking something, any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

The hardware that I am using is:

Intel Quad Core Extreme Editon QX6700 2.66 Overclocked to 3.75

If the frames are still moving, then perhaps when you first saw it @ 54%, it was during the first pass, and now it just happens to be @ 54% of the second pass......
That's my suspicion at least. But that long of an encoding time is probably par for a single core P4 processor.

Pan07, thanks for the reply.

I am not sure but I doubt it. The RiTek disks are all that I have on hand right now. I have burnt a few backups on these disks that did not need recoded and they worked great, flawless. I know you get what you pay for but these were 2.99 at newegg so I bought a bunch of them.

No i am pretty sure this is right rebuilder does not see the movie MPLS

http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r23/Digi247/BDMax.jpg

There are 2 versions of the movie and the correct one or should i say the Extended version is 0043.mpls or the standard version is 0059.mpls according to BDinfo, So BD Rebuilder for some reason is pickin the wrong .mpls file on this blu ray

[jwgallardo]

Maybe I'll add a "strict AVCHD format" option for movie-only. Can you show me what the directory structure looks like after you do the avchd.leer.zip thing? I took a (very) quick look at it, and I'm not seeing the differences between that an what TSMUXER outputs...

As I reported, I'm having a similar issue. I backed up Shining as "Movie Only". It played well in PS3 but did not played in Denon BD-3800. It appeared a black screen although the disk was recognized as BD and the audio is playing.

Jddobs: What should I try to help debug this issue with this player?

[GaPony]

We found that removing the AUXDATA folder (inside the BDMV folder), before burning the disc with ImgBurn made "Movie Only" copies work with some other players, and they retained playability in the PS3. You don't have to reencode anything...just delete that one folder and burn.

This probably won't work if you have several smaller branching .m2ts files which make up the movie. The only luck I had with those movies was to pre-process them to combine them into a single file.

I hope this helps...

I Realise This Isn't A Bug But I Thought You Wouldn't Mind My Calling On Your Expertise... I Successfully Remuxed A DTS Audio Track (Converted From PCM) Back Into A Blu-Ray Movie With It Working And Chapter Select Still Works But Seems To Be Of By One... Chapter 2 = 1 And Chapter 15=14 Etc... Any Idea How I Can Correct That? Any Help Is Much Appreciated And :thanks:Again.

[MikeyBK]

There seems to be an issue with 'My Best Friend's Girl'... It is a seamless branched BD and has been the only one that BD-RB hasn't been able to encode correctly for me.

I joined all the m2ts files together with TSSplitter, then remuxed with TSMuxer (also tried it with TSRemux) into Bluray format while stripping unwanted audio and PGS streams. And the output from either of those apps has played and looked flawless on my harddrive. BD-RB however seems unable to encode itcorrectly. There are multiple scenes where a blurry blotch appears for split seconds thru-out the BD-RB output (both from the HDD or from the BD-9). Also this title has been the only one that plays the subtitles in wrong sequence.

I've redone this movie several times and each time it has these problems 'after' encoding thru BD-RB... and at the same exact spots every time. So for whatever reason, this title is giving BD-RB fits.

Can't do it from the full Bluray rip because it has 25 2ts files making up the movie, thus gives me the multiple instances of FFDShow and Matroska, which leads to out of memory error.

Anyone else did this Bluray?
It's the only title that I haven't been successful on yet with BD-RB.

Version 0.18.02

I've posted a new version of BD Rebuilder in the first post of this thread. I think it corrects most of the issues reported in this thread. But... I made a LOT of changes, so there is a high likelihood that we may find something new. Please remember to post them only in this thread. Thanks.

Important note: This version requires AVISYNTH 2.57 or above. It will warn you and close itself it you don't have it installed.

Here are the changes made in this version:
January 20th, 2008 - v0.18.2
- PLEASE NOTE: Starting with this version, BD Rebuilder
REQUIRES AVISYNTH v2.57 or above. If you do not have it
installed, please download it from:
http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/Avisynth_257.exe
and install it. BD-RB will not work with older
versions of AVISYNTH.
- Improved command line settings used for QUICK encodes.
- Corrected error in QUICK encoding routine that
could result in oversizing (particularly on
series and extra discs).
- Corrected an error that could cause "Runtime Error 6"
when encoding audio.
- Added code to catch errors during audio reencoding.
- Added a checkbox in SETUP to make AC3 reencodes
default to 640Kbs rather than 448Kbs.
- Updated quality selection. There are now four levels
based on recommendations from Dark Shikari. Now uses
"ENCODE_QUALITY=" parameter in INI file.
- Added a warning/restriction when source path lengths
are too long (previously caused oversizing).
- Corrected an error that would cause "Runtime Error 9"
on certain discs with multiple story paths (angles).
- Completely rewrote the movie-only handling routines to
correct issues with certain multi-path/angle sources
that had huge numbers of components and could cause
BD-RB to crash with out-of-memory errors.
- Added code to correct the "snap" sound in WAV files
resulting from demuxing via TSMUXER.
- Added chapter calculation to movie-only mode. Now the
chapters will match those in the original playlist.
- Added the ability to select from alternate playlists.
This is especially useful for series discs and discs
with more than one version of a film. Note: You can
select only from playlists of least 15 mins.
- Added traps to catch muxing errors that could result
in "Runtime Error 76 - path not found".
- Corrected "Runtime Error 424".
- Fixed an error related to audio (especially LPCM) that
could cause errors in "ReencodeAudio()" routine.
- Fixed several issues in related to reecoding/keeping
audio streams that could result in the wrong type code
being set in the MPLS file. This could result in
silent playback.
- Made calculation changes to help prevent oversizing
under certain conditions when audio is kept intact.
- Added a SETUP option that makes what appears to be a
more strictly compliant output (AVCHD) for the movie-
only option.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Hi!

I am doing a Full backup with the new version 0.18.02 of Starship Troopers, german release.

My main movie (the video) is only approx 1m43s long. I checked the AVS file created, and in it lies the problem:
#Created by BD Rebuilder - v0.18.2 (beta)
DirectshowSource("G:\BDMV\STREAM\00009.m2ts", fps=23.976, framecount=2473, audio=false)
ConvertToYV12()


Why is that?

Since the AVS scripts are overwritten when starting again, I also cannot change it myself.

When I remove the framecount parameter, the AVS plays with full length.

Bye

[jdobbs]

I discovered that DirectShowSource() was dropping at least one frame on each segment. That becomes very problematic and cause out-of-sync audio when a title might contain numerous segments (M2TSs) in movie-only (e.g. Ratatouille). The way to fix it is by setting it to the correct value in the AVS file.

Capture the screen and post it so I can see what you mean by "the main movie" -- also capture the screen with the menu down shown where you can select MPLS files.

[MvB]

Bd-Rebuilder selects an obscure mpeg2-Stream@480i with 1.50h length and 5GB size as main movie, but the main movie is 25GB and AVC (mpeg4) and 1080p. Unfortunately it's not possible to select the main movie manually. Is there a possibility to do main movie only for this disk?

Thanks
MvB

[jdobbs]

It is possible to select the main movie manually if you are using the latest version. The main-movie is selected by total size (in hours and minutes) -- there really is no other way to do it. Which version of BD-RB are you using?

[jdobbs]

Version 0.18.03

I just did another update to the first post of this thread. Here is an updated change list for v0.18.02/03:


January 20th, 2008 - v0.18.3

This is something that I have experienced. As Capsbackup wrote,
This can happen if the original source is not Blu-ray compliant 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
you have to make sure your source Blu-ray stream is compliant.
After reading thru many threads on different forums, I found out that the workarounds were either to re-encode adding borderss to any video streams that are not 720p or 1080p OR using BDedit + a hex editor to change the vertical res to 720p or 1080p.
BD Rebuilder will then encode the streams correctly and there will not be any double images.

Link to the writeup and needed software is http://brothers_grim.webs.com/bd/index.html

BDedit thread here on doom9 is http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125903

Good luck.

If you're backing up a BD -- how can the source be non-compliant with BD? Are these home-grown?

[Chefkoch_ico]

I can't seem to repeat it with any of my discs. I'll have to pick that one up. Is this the new one or the original "Starship Troopers"?

Its the original Starship Troopers. Is there a file on the disc, that could help you analysing?

Jdobbs, quick note he has the German version and not the US version.

[jwgallardo]

We found that removing the AUXDATA folder (inside the BDMV folder), before burning the disc with ImgBurn made "Movie Only" copies work with some other players, and they retained playability in the PS3. You don't have to reencode anything...just delete that one folder and burn.

This probably won't work if you have several smaller branching .m2ts files which make up the movie. The only luck I had with those movies was to pre-process them to combine them into a single file.

I hope this helps...

Thanks GaPony. I deleted the Auxdata folder as suggested and Denon BD-3800 refuses to load the disc. First, it is recognized as DVD and soon after that a legend appear saying "Disc Error. Playback feature may not be available on this disc".

Just to let you know, with AUXDATA, disc is recognized as BD and it play but only audio with black screen. Movie Only.

Jdobbs: Do you want me keep posting this error in this thread? Do you think the player is not accepting a BD disc into a DVD-5 disc? Do you think the new BD-RB version could make a difference?

[jdobbs]

Its the original Starship Troopers. Is there a file on the disc, that could help you analysing? I'll PM you.

just tried your newest beta version and it gives me the Runtime 76, when I press Backup. My source is a ISO image mounted in daemon tools. Here is a screenshot.

BD-RB v0.17.13
Incomplete movie streams selection for Movie Only Backup:

BD-RB selects stream 8 only
Corresponding to playlist file 17

Full movie is streams 0+8+9 (all mpeg-2).
Corresponding to playlist file 45

In the new version (hopefully released later today) you can select a different MPLS if you want.

v0.18.3:
Yes, I can manually select the correct mpls 45 now (2:12:11 duration).
However, when I start BD-RB it still selects the wrong mpls 17 (57:18 duration). But when opening the Alternate Movie-Only playlist, the correct mpls 45 (2:12:11 duration) is highlighted.

Don't know if this is a bug.

Don't know if this is a bug. I'm really confused as to how it is selecting the wrong one. I have about 30 discs on hard drive right now -- and none of them select incorrectly.

Disk is Enemy of the State, Region B.
For the other ones I have BD-RB selects correctly.

I know what it means, but which path is missing, all path is there ?

I don't think this is a bug just a issue with my Samsung BD-P1500 but here it goes.

I just burned a full backup (complete movie with menus and extras) with BD-Rebuilder, a BD-9(DVD-9). Actually I burned two of the same movie, one with the AUXDATA folder and one without. The Samsung BD-P1500 would play the BD-9 without the AUXDATA folder but not the other BD-9 with AUXDATA folder. The menus, extras, and movie play perfect.


P.S. Thanks for the GREAT application!!

If you're backing up a BD -- how can the source be non-compliant with BD? Are these home-grown?

I assume you are reacting to my follow-up to earlier posts so I'll explain my position.
I have a SA 8300HD STB/DVR which I record to. However, when I capture from that to my PC, the output is "squished" and even HD broadcast material gets letterboxed, and the AR is screwed up.
I then clean up by removing the borders and transcode to AVC but with the screwed up AR and non-BD compliant resolutions, I have to use the workarounds.

My Denon BD-3800 is doing the opposite. Movie Only backup. Burned to DVD-5 with and without AUXDATA. Without AUXDATA I receive a disc error when loading. With AUXDATA it just play the audio without video (black screen). Hope that helps too.

I'm not sure but I think there's still some work to be done with LPCM. In doing a Movie Only copy of 3:10 to Yuma, it failed when I used the LPCM audio tracks, but it completed successfully when using the AC3 audio yesterday with 0.17.13.

I was able to capture the cmd.exe (DOS) window, if its of any help. I've also included the stream window from 0.18.03 and the logs for both the successful run with AC# (0.17.13) and with LPCM (0.18.03.

Same with Max Payne Region 1.

BD-RB selects playlist 39 that is 58:41.

Main movie is playlist 43 with a duration of 1:42:58.

(Also correctly highlighted when alternate movie only playlist is selected.)

Hello! I have a couple of Blu Rays, most of them pal, and a laptop with the adequate blu drive. Id like to help out with the testing, but I was wondering where can I check whether my Samsung BD P1000 standalone player play a dvd with the hd content?

[Capsbackup]

@jdobbs:
From a previous error I was having, "Run-time error '9': subscript out of range. Happens as PHASE ONE completes, PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started", I just had a successful rebuild using the new release BD-RBV01803. I had kept all the previously recorded files from BD-RBV01713 in the WORKFILES folder, and just copied the new BD-RBV01803.exe over the old. Rebuild completed and I burned to DVD+RW and everything played perfectly on my Sony BDP-BX1. All menu buttons (and there are many on this disc) and audio played back perfectly!! Congrats!! :thanks:
Your efforts continue to amaze me, and your program is just awesome.

[wakebrder]

It's not a big deal, just thought you should know it wasn't an isolated incident.

Hope it's an easy fix.

GREAT job on this BTW.:)

I just got it and was looking it over, my rip shows the wrong m2ts when first loaded (screenshot 1)... confirming that using the Alrternate Movie-Only Playlist setting (screenshot 2), I was able to load the correct playlist (screenshot 3).

Will be doing this title overnight tonite.

Took 24hrs 2 do the whole disc of Hancock. Audio during the ads & coming attractions. There r 2 versions on this disc Theatrical & Unrated. Theatrical shows a frozen blk screen. Unrated played no audio & was blank for the 1st 5min of play which is where the opening credits r supposed 2 show. The beginning of the movie starts 2 play in whole but with no audio. What could have happened here? An error box also popped up stating:
Onepass264
Runtime error '9'
Subscript out of range

[jdobbs]

You need to upgrade to the newest version. There were a lot of errors fixed, including the "Runtime 9".

[Dark Shikari]

I get "Runtime error 6" now when attempting to open my source directory (Cowboy Bebop movie).

[Jake802]

I downloaded the newest stuff will be giving everything a test run this weekend ill let you know how it goes!

[Jake802]

This may seem kinda dumb but what should I have checked in my Blu-Ray options when ripping the disc with ANYDVD-HD?

[GaPony]

The only thing I have checked is Enable Blu-Ray support... a default setting. It always works for me.

Sorry To Say I Have Discovered A MAJOR BUG! I Just Tried Doing Pirates Of The Caribbean Curse Of The Black Pearl To 25GB Blu-Ray Settings Where... Full Backup, Quicker Encode For Extras.. Idle Priority And Good Fastest Quality.. On The Plus Side V18.3 Did Encode The LPCM Successfully On The MAJOR Negative The Resulting Encode Was Only 5.26GB (And I Definately Had It Set Too 23000mb I Double Checked That In The Ini) I'm Stumped As Too Why This Happened! Could You Fill Me In Please??? And As Always :thanks:

Hi!

Did you check the main movie length? In my case, (Starship troopers), the video of the main movie (full backup) was only about 2 minutes long.

Also check the framecount parameter in the AVS file for the main movie. There is the problem in my case. Try to play the AVS file, and see how long it goes.

Bye

I get "Runtime error 6" now when attempting to open my source directory (Cowboy Bebop movie). Is it immediately upon selection?

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I found a problem with audio language on Disney BluRays.

I have here for example "chronicles of narnia, part 1", region B, german.

After language selection on the first screen (choose german), then there comes a general BluRay Disc trailer -> german language

Immediatly after this, the come some Movie trailers. These are not in one m2ts files, but in more. Its 4 trailes and in between them, the are some short animations like "in cinema" or "on bluray".

On this trailers, the in between animations are german (eg. "Im Kino"), so it plays the correct playlist. But the audio on all trailers is english. On the original the audio is german.

Right click on PowerDVD->audio selection gives me only german audio to choose (already selected), even though in the m2ts is english and german (checked).

In the main movie, audio mapping is OK.

So problem summary:
Language dialog (choose german) -> BluRay Trailer (german) -> 4 Movie Trailers (english, should be german) -> movie menu.

Some screens:

Hi jdobbs,

Got the same result on the UK version of 'Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl'.

Set the output size to BD25 and had only the UK audio and subs selected. Extras set to quicker encode. The main audio track is uncompressed LPCM.

The final output size ended up as 5.97GB, with the main M2TS file being only 790MB in size.

Not sure if it's intended to behave this way but when i select BD25 as the output size, it changes to a custom size of 23000GB instead of keeping BD25 ticked.

Here's the INF...

Hi jdobbs,

Got the same result on the UK version of 'Pirates of the Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl'.

Set the output size to BD25 and had only the UK audio and subs selected. Extras set to quicker encode. The main audio track is uncompressed LPCM.

The final output size ended up as 5.97GB, with the main M2TS file being only 790MB in size.

Not sure if it's intended to behave this way but when i select BD25 as the output size, it changes to a custom size of 23000GB instead of keeping BD25 ticked.


Hi!

Did you check the main movie length? In my case, (Starship troopers), the video of the main movie (full backup) was only about 2 minutes long.

Also check the framecount parameter in the AVS file for the main movie. There is the problem in my case. Try to play the AVS file, and see how long it goes.

Bye

[liquidskin76]

jdobbs,

Also the work files folder is only 10.7GB in size.

Thanks

check the AVS file please.

in the WORKING DIRECTORY: VID_<name of the biggest m2ts>.AVS

Its a text file. open it and post it here please.

Is it immediately upon selection?Yes. I click on the folder and click OK (when selecting a source), and it errors out.

Just checked the main M2TS file in PowerDVD and it only plays to the 57 second mark, then freezes.

[jdobbs]

Tried that, no effect. I think I know what is causing this. It's an overflow error that happens in the new "chapter" code. I had it in my testing, but thought I'd fixed it. Obviously there are still instances where it can still happen. You can open other sources with no problem, right?

The main movie's video should have been 18GB -- but it came out 1GB. Something I changed in this version is the culprit. I was likely the framecount thing. I'll find it.

Hi!

I found a problem with audio language on Disney BluRays.

I have here for example "chronicles of narnia, part 1", region B, german.

After language selection on the first screen (choose german), then there comes a general BluRay Disc trailer -> german language

Immediatly after this, the come some Movie trailers. These are not in one m2ts files, but in more. Its 4 trailes and in between them, the are some short animations like "in cinema" or "on bluray".

On this trailers, the in between animations are german (eg. "Im Kino"), so it plays the correct playlist. But the audio on all trailers is english. On the original the audio is german.

Right click on PowerDVD->audio selection gives me only german audio to choose (already selected), even though in the m2ts is english and german (checked).

In the main movie, audio mapping is OK.

So problem summary:
Language dialog (choose german) -> BluRay Trailer (german) -> 4 Movie Trailers (english, should be german) -> movie menu.

Some screens:

Bye Have you selected to keep both languages from the SETUP menu, or only from within the streams list?

[jdobbs]

@Chefkoch_ico

Can you post the INF file for the encode that had audio problems. I've just followed the code and can't seem to see how this could happen if all done in one instance of encoding. One thing that needs to be clarified, though, is that if you select audio from the streams list, and then exit and restart BD-RB -- the audio will go back to what was on the SETUP list. So if you started a job, changed from the streams selection, then exited/restarted, you may get something different than you thought, with over/undersizing.

[turbojet]

Just a little reminder FIX_CLPI=0 still gives an error.

[jwgallardo]

Are you using the latest version? There were changes that may affect that.

I'll try. I PM you. Thanks.

[jdobbs]

Yes. I click on the folder and click OK (when selecting a source), and it errors out.Hmm... I just fixed a source of the "Runtime 6" error, but looking at the MPLS files -- I'm not sure whether that was it in your case. Please try it again when I post the new version and let me know if it helped.

[jdobbs]

Version 0.18.04

I just posted a new version in the first post of this thread. Changes:

January 21st, 2008 - v0.18.4
- Fixed an error introduced in v0.18.2 that could set
the framecount on a segment to an incorrect value and
result in massive undersizing.
- Corrected a bug that could cause the wrong MPLS to
sometimes be selected as the main-movie in the Streams
List.
- Corrected "Runtime Error 6" that could occur during
selection of a source.
- Fixed an error that would cause BD Rebuilder to exit
with an error when using "FIX_CLPI=0".
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[Dark Shikari]

Hmm... I just fixed a source of the "Runtime 6" error, but looking at the MPLS files -- I'm not sure whether that was it in your case. Please try it again when I post the new version and let me know if it helped.No dice. Still occurs.

Hi!

I´m sorry, I startet another testrun on another disc. I can post you the inf files in about 12 hrs, when I did the testrun of narnia again (the fast encoding setting really helps when testing).

[Steff 320i]

Yippieh! My first success. I just encoded "Ultraviolet" PAL european to BD5 (DVD-R), using beta 0.18.3.
Full encode, high quality, strict AVCHD. I left the Auxdata folder in there, I didn't touch anything. The backup works perfectly on my Samsung BD-P1500. Everything's there: movie, extras, subtitles.

For all of you Samsung P1500 owners: these backups only work if you use the older firmware (June 2008 or something like that). If your device has firmware after June 08, it will NOT play these discs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jdobbs, thanks so much, bro. I will download beta 0.18.4 now and I will give episodic "Lost" PAL european another try tonight. Oh, I got Milla Jovovich right here beside me on the couch, she sends her regards.

Hi
I tried to copy Spiderman 3 with BD Rebuilder. Unfortunately I get an error when it reaches 100%: BD Rebuilder exp. an error (19:41:35) reencode Audio ()00006. I have also tried to copy this film with MEGUI, following the Blu-ray Disc guide on this forum. It works fine when I copy a small cut of the movie, but when I try the complete video file, it crashes before it has converted 1GB - what is wrong?:thanks:

[MikeyBK]

I just finished MaxPayne using High Qaulity setting, and loading the movie playlist via the Alternate Movie-Only setting, but had a couple issues...
First was that there was at least one instance of massive blocking (pixelating), might ne more but I didn't view the entire movie, just randomly skipped thru. (screenshot linked)
Second is that the audio slowly gets out of sync the further into the movie you get.... by the end it is a very noticeable audio sync problem.
Is this an issue resolved in the new Beta you just released?

Hi!

I bet this is a VC1 encoded disc. This is a problem with libavcodec. Its not working perfectly, you could try to switch to WMV9 in the ffdshow settings. Check then with playing the AVS, if the pixelation still exists.

Is this an issue resolved in the new Beta you just released? Three things to check:

1. Look at the copy on HD if you have one. I have had several that did this -- only to find the copy to HD was the problem, I copied again and it was fine.

2. That pixelation often occurs when you skip through an M2TS file. It is from the playback. If you go back a minute or so before the scene you may find that it plays ok when it "plays through" it.

3. That is exactly what you see sometimes when the decrypting wasn't successful. What did you use to decrypt it?

What version did you use to reencode?

[jdobbs]

@All

In posting any new bug reports, please include the version of BD Rebuilder that you used for testing. If it isn't the latest or you don't include the version -- I will not respond, because if could very likely have been corrected already.

Thanks.

I completely agree. I don't want to spend a lot of time writing code that will only work with certain video cards. There could be no end to it. It just makes sense to me to stick with standard codec support.

Hi!

I am sorry, you are right. I should and will provide samples.

When I first saw these problems on a few discs, I thought it would be easier to support both DirectShow and DGDec-Suite (since jdobbs already has experience with it from DVD-RB), as I dont like the DirectShow approach. I am one of the "install a minimum of Decoders" (Software general).

No it isn't VC-1, it's H.264/AVC. BTW, I haven't had any issues with VC-1 encoded Blurays yet. 300, Dark Knight, ....

Three things to check:

1. Look at the copy on HD if you have one. I have had several that did this -- only to find the copy to HD was the problem, I copied again and it was fine.

2. That pixelation often occurs when you skip through an M2TS file. It is from the playback. If you go back a minute or so before the scene you may find that it plays ok when it "plays through" it.

3. That is exactly what you see sometimes when the decrypting wasn't successful. What did you use to decrypt it?

What version did you use to reencode?

My rip on the HDD plays perfect, it was decrypted and ripped with AnyDVD-HD.

As for the pixelating, it is at the exact same spot, so not an issue with playback software.

I can give you added info by telling you that I joined the multiple m2ts files from the BD-RB Workfiles folder, using TSSplitter, then remuxing it into BD format with TSMuxer.... and the resulting output no longer has that pixelating. So I'm deducing that it's the BD-RB merging that might have caused the issue??
The audio sync is still there even with the TSSplitter output.... so it appears to have been introduced during BD-RB encoding step.

EDIT: I will try again with the 0.18.04 Beta tonite, but it will be another 8 hours or so. Will be using the Better setting this time and not the High Quality setting.

Both the cover and BDInfov.0.5.2 reports Max Payne as AVC @ 22MBPS, NTSC version. It has the Theatrical version and the Unrated version, broken up into multiple .M2TS files. Could the audio sync issue be related to audio gaps/clipping that eac3to/HD-DVD/Blu-ray stream extractor reports when demuxing? It reports a second pass will be necessary. I'm not sure if BD-RB addresses issues like this.

[Sharc]

Sure, because you didn't follow the quite specific guidelines on the ffmpeg website for bugreporting.

They're not psychic--they can't magically find the bug you randomly posted on doom9.
Oh I see. My bad then.

Also, ffmpeg doesn't support interlaced VC-1 anyways
I guess that's exactly the point then. Unfortunately there is often much interlaced material in the Extras.

Just did the bugreport, to bad I have not found one with distortions, but one that completely hangs.
https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/roundup/ffmpeg/issue796

Anyway, as they dont support interlaced, whats then so bad to look into alternatives, as there is a working solution (DGVC1DecNV).

I know its not usable for anybody, but at least those who can use it, have the ability to process certain discs an especially without the usage of DirectShow.

Yippieh! My first success. I just encoded "Ultraviolet" PAL european to BD5 (DVD-R), using beta 0.18.3.
Full encode, high quality, strict AVCHD. I left the Auxdata folder in there, I didn't touch anything. The backup works perfectly on my Samsung BD-P1500. Everything's there: movie, extras, subtitles.

For all of you Samsung P1500 owners: these backups only work if you use the older firmware (June 2008 or something like that). If your device has firmware after June 08, it will NOT play these discs. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Jdobbs, thanks so much, bro. I will download beta 0.18.4 now and I will give episodic "Lost" PAL european another try tonight. Oh, I got Milla Jovovich right here beside me on the couch, she sends her regards.

It will work if you delete the AUXDATA folder. I have tried it with updated firmware v2.3. Look here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144399&page=2

[jdobbs]

No it isn't VC-1, it's H.264/AVC. BTW, I haven't had any issues with VC-1 encoded Blurays yet. 300, Dark Knight, ....



My rip on the HDD plays perfect, it was decrypted and ripped with AnyDVD-HD.

As for the pixelating, it is at the exact same spot, so not an issue with playback software.

I can give you added info by telling you that I joined the multiple m2ts files from the BD-RB Workfiles folder, using TSSplitter, then remuxing it into BD format with TSMuxer.... and the resulting output no longer has that pixelating. So I'm deducing that it's the BD-RB merging that might have caused the issue??
The audio sync is still there even with the TSSplitter output.... so it appears to have been introduced during BD-RB encoding step.

EDIT: I will try again with the 0.18.04 Beta tonite, but it will be another 8 hours or so. Will be using the Better setting this time and not the High Quality setting.
Of all the discs I've done (and I've done a lot), I have only run into one issue with VC-1 -- that was on the extras of "Band of Brothers" because it had a stream that was apparently a mix of progressive and interlaced.

Can that individual M2TS file be played independently? (can you open it by itself on the original and play it back without pixelation) If so, the pixelation makes no sense...

I agree it is probably the BF-RB merging that is causing the audio drift. I thought I'd fixed that, but apparently not for every case. I'll look at alternative ways to handle multi-part movie-only encodes.

Tell me this: if you play back the newly encoded M2TS files (in the WORKFILES folder) individually, do they play in-sync?

[Atak_Snajpera]

@jdobbs
Do you remember what I told you about audio gaps??? :) You should start to use eac3to tool !

[TheOfficeMaven]

Agreed. eac3to is an absolutely AMAZING tool that has had all of the audio gap/sync issues when dealing with seamless branching M2TS files worked out for quite a while now.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Well I downloaded 18.3 yesterday and did the movie Hancock. I am so pleased it went like a charm and the output is great. Great Job jdobbs. :thanks:

I also did the second X-files movie and that too came out great. So that's 2 out of the three done perfectly.

I've just brought down 18.4 and will be using it on the other X-Files movie. Will post on my results.

[Chas Hart]

@jdobbs

A VC-1 progressive/interlace video plays back at 29.976 fps and the audio goes out of sync.

When playing it back at 23.976 fps with Avisynth, the audio stays in sync.

I've also had 'no' issues with any VC-1 Blurays as well.

As for Max Payne...
Since I actually used the m2ts files from the BD-RB Work Folder thru TSSplitter, and the resulting joined m2ts did not have that pixelating on that scene, I'm guessing it was after BD-RB encoded it and when it was trying to merge them together.
I similarly had an issue with another multi-part title, My Best Friend's Girl... although it was slight stalls and a couple blurry blotching scenes at the same exact spots, on the BD-9 as well. But on this title I had already merged the multiple m2ts files together with TSSplitter, and the resulting m2ts did not have the blurry blotches. It was only after BD-RB encoded it that I seen them, and it transferred over to the BD-9.

As for the audio out of sync, I didn't check the individual files for audio sync issues before I tried joining them, and unfortunately I have already deleted everything from that session.

As I mentioned, the original rip does not have that audio sync or pixelating issue, and I now have used TSSplitter to create a movie only m2ts from the original, and that also does not have audio sync or pixelating issues.

I am planning to run the joined m2ts of Max Payne thru 0.18.04 tonite. If all goes well, maybe I'll try to run it from the original again, but this time using 0.18.04 as well.

[ds9delta]

just tried your newest beta version and it gives me the Runtime 76, when I press Backup. My source is a ISO image mounted in daemon tools. Here is a screenshot.

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/946/bdrebuilderay9.th.jpg (http://img206.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bdrebuilderay9.jpg)

my BDRebuilder.ini file:

I found out that the error with the path not found only occure when full backup is selected, if I select movie only, then I have no problem. Im using your latest (0.18.4) version, but the same bug was in 0.18.3. The movie I used is an iso image of Ocean Eleven Region B, with other movies it just give me:


[08:41:09] PHASE ONE, Encoding
- Error in attempt to extract audio/subs.
[08:41:09] - Failed to retrieve audio, aborted


this is with Rambo first blood part 2 Region B. It demux fine in movie-only mode. So I think there is a bug in the full-backup mode.

/GZZ

[MR.WaynesWorld]

I did X-Files, the first movie, overnight and this morning I see this error.

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m216/waynecierkowski/failedtorebuild.jpg

Could this be an issue with the movie structure itself. I was using 18.04 beta and did March of the Penguins with no issue.

Please let me know if you need anyother info to debug this.

[jah711]

Problem solved. The updated version of BR-RB fixed the issue. Backup came out perfect. Thanks jdobbs.


[[Took 24hrs 2 do the whole disc of Hancock. Audio during the ads & coming attractions. There r 2 versions on this disc Theatrical & Unrated. Theatrical shows a frozen blk screen. Unrated played no audio & was blank for the 1st 5min of play which is where the opening credits r supposed 2 show. The beginning of the movie starts 2 play in whole but with no audio. What could have happened here? An error box also popped up stating:

[mochevolete]

I've successfully encoded to BD9 the Pixar's shorts with the latest build, before the 0.17.x always ended with an error,
just an issue, the subtitles languages are mixed up, if I select Italian I get the Deutsch, to get the Italian I must choose French

Nik

[DIVX2009]

mochevolete...

select all subtitles

[jdobbs]

Subtitle removal wasn't meant to be implemented yet -- that's why it was grayed out. I completely forgot to disable it in the streams list, though. Bottom line: don't remove subtitles until it is properly implemented.

[jdobbs]

@jdobbs
Do you remember what I told you about audio gaps??? :) You should start to use eac3to tool ! I kinda' want to do it myself -- I need the understanding etc. for future work.

[mochevolete]

trying not to go OT, is there a way to fix the subs with BDedit ?

[mochevolete]

mochevolete...

select all subtitles
in the movie not in BD-RB ...

[shamoo]

YES it worked, after 3 and a half days it took to complete, it finished without any error's, thanks you very much jdobbs. i'm sure once i upgrade my processor and ram the time will fall. just one question, in my working folder, i have 2 folders in it. 1 is the movie, the 2nd is another folder called workfiles which is 21gb, what is this folder? and so i need it?

[DaMacFunkin]

I've got serious probs with my Panasonic BD-30, in an earlier post about re-coded HD audio i said i'd tested Beowulf (BD-25 17.03) on my Panny and power dvd and the HD audio track didn't work... well i couldn't have tried it in the Panny, because i have just put it in and it plays the Warner logo, then proceeds to scroll through copyright warnings in every Language, and thats it, can't call any menus or anything, but works fine in power dvd 8... Just Finished Resovoir Dogs with version 18.02 (BD-25), Same again, works fine in Power DVD 8, On the Panasonic it loads Lionsgate Logo, then Blank, just crashes Player, after a while i can eject the disk.. I have done loads of straight bd25 copys and they all work fine so i know my media and burning technique are fine.. any ideas?

[GaPony]

just one question, in my working folder, i have 2 folders in it. 1 is the movie, the 2nd is another folder called workfiles which is 21gb, what is this folder? and so i need it?

The workfiles folder contains all the temp files needed to make your copy... they are deleted the next time you make a copy, or you can delete them yourself. Once you have your good copy, they're no longer needed.

Hi!

Could you please by default select all subtitles, for the next version. This saves a lot of clicks, when in full backup mode, the main movie is split in more m2ts files.

I often have german and english more than 1 times and only the first one is selected.

Bye

[MikeyBK]

Just FYI JDobbs, I was able to make a perfect BD-9 of Max Payne last night. I did however join the multi-m2ts files with TSSplitter first though (Then Remuxed with TSMuxer).
No audio sync issues, or any pixelated frames, and this was all from the same source rip.

I plan to do X-Files tonite, which is also a seamlessly branched Bluray... then perhaps tomorrow night I'll retry Max Payne with 0.18.04 just to test loading movie-only straight from the full rip files.

I'll report back if X-files (which I also plan to load into BD-RB straight from the full BD files ripped to my harddrive)... or the re-do of Max Payne still has the audio sync issues or any further pixelated scenes.

[Chefkoch_ico]

Hi!

I have now successfully done Starship Troopers.

However, one of the extras is out of sync with audio. I checked, and the problem is, this one mpg2 video file seems to run to fast.

Its on the original disc in MPG2, 480i. There are other extras like that (also mpg2 480i), they dont have the same problem.

While I am investigating this, is it possible, to replace the BD-Rebuilder encoded m2ts file (50 mb, AVC) by the one from the original disc (80 mb, mpg2)? Space is not the issue, and I dont want to run the full encode again.

--------------

Investigated:
Either the file on the disc has a glitch, or ffdshow cannot decode it properly. Hate to say it (said it too often already), but DGMPGDec decodes it properly.

But, jdobbs, please answer my question above concerning the usage of the original file in the BD-Rebuilder created structure.

Bye

[Capsbackup]

@Chefkoch_ico:
If you demux the original .M2TS into its elementary streams, audio and video, rename the files to match identical to BD-RB's files in the "Workfiles", replace it and just press backup again, and as long as you have not changed anything else, it will rebuild again with the new file. You may want to remove the original folder with the first rebuild BDMV files or it will overwrite them.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

@jdobbs,

Can you give any insight into the issue I am seeing now with the latest release of the software.

I dont think this works like this, because the m2ts is created already after encoding, so I would need to create the m2ts myself. Would not be a problem, but what are the other steps done on this m2ts (not in building stage, but directly after encoding and muxing it, before encoding the next one).

[Steff 320i]

I did some more testing with beta 0.18.4, always trying to make BD-Rebuilder's output playable on my Samsung P1500.

Here's a few results:
I made a second backup of "Ultraviolet" PAL. Full backup, high quality. After encoding, I deleted the Auxdata folder and burnt it on DVD-R. It played fine on my Samsung P1500, fitted with newest firmware.
If I don't delete the Auxdata folder, the Samsung won't play the disk. So I thought deleting Auxdata is the way to go.

Then I went and tried exactly the same with "Lost - season 4" PAL, which contains 3 episodes, menus and extras. I made a full backup.
After encoding, I deleted the Auxdata folder and burnt it on a DVD-R. I threw the disc into my Samsung player, but it just wouldn't play. Seems like deleting "Auxdata" is no guarantee that the disc will play.
It worked for "Ultraviolet", but it did not work for "Lost".

I don't know if this is relevant for jdobbs, but to me it looks like BD-rebuilder can handle some movies better than others. Some backups will play, while others won't. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you guys, I mean, if you want me to test tweaks or stuff.

That should at least make it clearer what is causing the error. Of course the drive/path would depend on your implementation.

@Chefkoch_ico:
Use the original .m2ts from the Blu-ray rip and demux that file, not the one BD-RB created. Then rename and replace that one in the "Workfiles" folder. It will have to be renamed exactly like BD-RB created it(vid-***.264, aud***.ac3, etc..) Then when you click "backup", it will just rebuild all the previous encoded files and the new, unencoded original file to a new folder with your finished BDMV folder.

Remember, though, that if there is a significant difference in size it might cause your output to be too big. Also, you'll have problems if the original wasn't H.264 -- because BD-RB expects a .264 file for the mux. You could probably get around that if you used the MKV file as your intermediate.

[jdobbs]

If possible I'd like to hear if anyone is having issues playing back when the "Stricter AVCHD compliance" checkbox it set. If not, I may just set that as the default. My system plays the discs back fine. The stricter option removes several empty directories when creating movie-only discs.

[DaMacFunkin]

No takers on why my Panasonic BD-30 crashes after opening Logo on BD-25 Full back ups, yet they play fine in power dvd 8?
Also the Player plays Straight BD-25 to BD-25 and BD-50 to BD-50 copys fine!!

[jdobbs]

Are you doing full backups or movie-only?

[GaPony]

If possible I'd like to hear if anyone is having issues playing back when the "Stricter AVCHD compliance" checkbox it set. If not, I may just set that as the default. My system plays the discs back fine. The stricter option removes several empty directories when creating movie-only discs.

I've done 4 movies with the new setting, and they have all come out good.

I don't know what the setting does besides removing the AUXDATA folder, but it would be useful to allow it for "Full Movie" copies too. I don't know for sure if removing other empty folders amkes any difference or not, since my copies have played well when I manually removed just the AUXDAT folder, before you released the new option.

It has been noted that removing just the AUXDATA folder also makes full copies playable on some players. That was the experience of one person with the Samsung BD-P1500 and I found the same to be true with the Samsung BD-P2500, for the two movies I've tested so far. I get menus, scene selection... everything, although I haven't tested for BD-Live functionality.

All my copies have been to BD9 (DL DVD)

I hope this information is useful.

[DaMacFunkin]

Full Back ups to BD-25
I've done loads of movie only rips manually in the past, even HD DVD movie only rips and they all play fine, all straight backups using anydvd hd and imgburn play fine, i even Ripped The Mummy, The Mummy returns And The Scorpion King from HD DVD, reauthored them with forced subs and DTS Audio in Scenarist and ran it through your program to shrink it from 54GB to 25 GB and that worked fine.

Heres an example

Beowulf:-
Power DVD 8: Plays Warner Logo > Plays Movie > all menus call fine.
Pannasonic BD-30: Plays Warner Logo > Plays Copyright warning messages in 20 Languages and Loops Playback > Crashes trying to call Menu.

Resovoir Dogs:-
Power DVD 8: Plays Lionsgate Logo > Plays Main Motion Menu > all menus and extras link fine.
Pan BD-30: Plays Lionsgate Logo > Black screen > Player crashes when trying to call menus, takes a while to eject disk.

Please Help.

[jdobbs]

Try adding "FIX_CLPI=0" to the "[Options]" area of your config (INI) file. The Panasonic BD-30 and BD-35 seem to have a problem with a CLPI file where the chapter jump tables have been corrected. I think it is a bug in the player since it seems to be only those that have an issue -- but it hasn't been proven one way or the other yet.

[TheOfficeMaven]

I just did a full movie encode for the BD "Wanted" in DVD-9 format using the "Stricter AVCHD compliance" setting. The resulting disc played okay on my PC using PowerDVD 7.3 (all the menus seemed to work great, but the main movie wouldn't play - it gets stuck right after all the FBI warning screens come up). However, the disc wouldn't play on my Samsung BD-P2550 (which is the same exact unit as the BD-P2500 only with Pandora radio included).

I checked the disc and noticed that the AUXDATA folder was still there??? It turns out that the folder wasn't empty (it contained files named "0000.otf" and "dvb.fontindex") and so I guess that's why BD-RB didn't remove it. I went ahead and manually deleted the AUXDATA folder and then re-burned the disc using ImgBurn. After that, PowerDVD would no longer play the disc (it complained about invalid disc format). My BD-P2550 really wanted to play the disc this time around, but it tried to load it up and then just fell over with a blank screen. Thus, it looks like I do indeed need that setting in BD-RB as having it controls whether the disc will play in PowerDVD or on my Samsung BD player.

BTW, I'm using the latest release of BD-RB (i.e. 0.18.04).

Interestingly, I tried a movie only encode of the BD "The Ant Bully" in BD-5 format and it played just fine on my BD-P2550. I was thinking about trying to do a movie only encode of Wanted as well, but it took 31 hours to complete the first time around (on my Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of RAM) and I just don't feel like waiting that long again (especially when the end result was a disaster). I'm going to move up to a Core i7 machine next week so I'll try it then instead. Hopefully that machine will encode movies a lot faster.

hey jdobbs

the progam works fine even if you make it a BD size but my only problem i have is that the BD-player(panasonic dm-30) wil play every thing bud wil not go to the menu.
is it posible to make it more competible whith this player. and when wil the real BD rebuilder be compleet (no beta)

[TheOfficeMaven]

Ah... I see. However, I'd still need the setting (although defaulting it to on would be just fine) as movie-only encodes play for me in PowerDVD 7.3 WITH the AUXDATA folder and play for me on my BD-P2550 WITHOUT the AUXDATA folder.

Thanks!

[Chefkoch_ico]

It looks for the m2ts files -- if they are there it will simply use them to rebuild. If one or all of the M2TS files are missing, and the encoding is already complete, it will remux all of them again to create each of the M2TS files (without reencoding) and then rebuild.

Thx, that did the trick, I deleted the STARSHIP_TROOPERS folder completely and reencoded the problematic h264 file, but this time, I used DGMPGDec to read from the original disc. When this was done, I simply startet again, and it did the rebuild. The new disc, was working as originally expected.

Could you please not only create a LASTCMD file, but maybe a CMDHISTORY. I needed to manually search for the h264 parameters used (if they weren´t here on the forum, it would have been a lot more complicated).

[MikeyBK]

I just finished MaxPayne using High Qaulity setting, and loading the movie playlist via the Alternate Movie-Only setting, but had a couple issues...
First was that there was at least one instance of massive blocking (pixelating), might ne more but I didn't view the entire movie, just randomly skipped thru. (screenshot linked)
Second is that the audio slowly gets out of sync the further into the movie you get.... by the end it is a very noticeable audio sync problem.
Is this an issue resolved in the new Beta you just released?



Just FYI JDobbs, I was able to make a perfect BD-9 of Max Payne last night. I did however join the multi-m2ts files with TSSplitter first though (Then Remuxed with TSMuxer).
No audio sync issues, or any pixelated frames, and this was all from the same source rip.

I plan to do X-Files tonite, which is also a seamlessly branched Bluray... then perhaps tomorrow night I'll retry Max Payne with 0.18.04 just to test loading movie-only straight from the full rip files.

I'll report back if X-files (which I also plan to load into BD-RB straight from the full BD files ripped to my harddrive)... or the re-do of Max Payne still has the audio sync issues or any further pixelated scenes.

I just finished X-Files 2 movie-only and I again have the audio sync issue. The audio is in sync in the beginning of the movie, but progressively gets further out of sync farther into the movie, and by the end is very noticeable. Their lips start moving and it takes a split second before the audio kicks in.

I played the individual m2ts files from the Work Files folder and they do 'not' have the audio sync issue... so this appears to be happening during the rebuild when the files are merged together.

As I mentioned with Max Payne, this is the same audio sync issue. I did not see any video pixelating on X-Files though.

EDIT: Just FYI to what I had posted...... I took the m2ts files from the WorkFiles folder and mer4ged them together using TSSplitter, then replaced the m2ts file that was in the BD-RB output, and now it plays perfectly in sync.

I had done this with Max Payne as well, but I did the added step of taking the TSSplitter m2ts file and remuxed it myself into BD structure using TSMuxer... that result recreated the audio sync issue.

So not sure if this info helps you JD, but if the individual m2ts files are in sync, and the merged m2ts from TSSplitter is still in sync, then it appears the issue may be when remuxing with TSMuxer for whatever reason. That is what you use to remux them together into BD structure right?

[francois20001]

I just tried a 22.5 gig version of Hellboy using teh V0.18.04 and i still got a Run Time Error 76 Path Not FOund during phase 2 ( the rebuilding )

[jdobbs]

Post a screen shot. My guess is you got another error first -- and the "Runtime 76" was caused by that error. That's at least what I've seen in every other post where it was reported.

[Binnugsai]

Hi,

I try to make movie only without changing audio encoding and i have this error message at the beginning of the conversion.

[jdobbs]

@MikeyBK

Was X Files 2 the U.S. version?

I played the individual m2ts files from the Work Files folder and they do 'not' have the audio sync issue... so this appears to be happening during the rebuild when the files are merged together. When muxing with TSMUXER I use the MPLS= function along with the original MPLS. That should keep the files in-sync -- I'll run the US version tonight and see why it is screwing up.

There is an alternate way to do it, and I can rewrite that section -- but I was hoping it would work like this as it is simpler. It fixed it on my test discs (including Ratatouille, which has 31 parts). Are you doing anything out of the ordinary when running or muxing? I know that if the MPLS isn't available (is missing) TSMUXER will mux anyway (without giving any warning or error) and the output will be out of sync. BD-RB creates a PLAYLIST directory, uses it, and then removes it. So if you are muxing by hand (rather than letting BD-RB do it) it will be out of sync every time...

[francois20001]

I have restarted BD-RD .. i will see if it does it again and will get a screen shot then ... sorry completely forgot to do it

And as I mentioned, the TSSplitter merged output did 'not' have the audio out of sync issue, but when I did it with TSMuxer, it did.

However, I am going to redo this one from scratch, but using TSSplitter to create a movie-only m2ts and then loading 'that' into BD-RB. Max Payne turned out good using that method.

I'd be glad to retry either or both of those should you put out another version to test on this issue.

[jdobbs]

I have it running now.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

It is getting a failure response from TSMUXER. Try to do a mux from the command line:

"x:\pathto\tsmuxer.exe" "x:\pathto\mux_movie_only.meta" "x:\TEST"

That should at least make it clearer what is causing the error. Of course the drive/path would depend on your implementation.

jdobbs, for some reason this command is not working...

In order to make this beta version work, you have to first install some other packages. Here's what you need to do:

1. Download and install the latest FFDSHOW and the Matroska Splitter. They are required for BD-RB to work, are free, and can be found at this link. After the install, run "Video Decoder Configuration" for FFDSHOW from the "START/Programs" menu, and make sure MPEG2 decoding is enabled.

I want to make sure I am doing this right this time so do I want to do the following....
under Codecs MPEG2,switch disable to enable(and which do I select Libavcodec or libmpeg2)
is that the right spot to do the above step?

Thanks

@jake802,

I have mine set to libavcodec and have had successful encodes....

[Fluid]

For some reason, ever since I moved from beta v17 to the latest v18 every disc I've burnt stutters. I'm doing movie only backups to DVD9. It's happened three different occasions now, and I've used four discs. Is anyone else having this issue? I just read somewhere to make sure MPEG2 was enabled in FFDshow, which mine wasn't, but the encodes complete successfully. The m2ts files play fine on my computer, but stutter like crazy on the ps3. Before v18, this never happened. Would there have been something I'm not aware of that happened?

[GaPony]

The new beta required the newest version of AviSynth... did you make sure you have it. That was the only change to external programs that I'm aware.

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Yes, it's the US version.

And no, I'm not doing anything out of the ordinary. I let BD-RB do all phases on it's own. Only after the output had the audio sync issue, is when I manually tested merging together the individual m2ts files in the Workfiles folder.

I just went through my X-Files 2 movies and the further you get into the movie the more off-sync the audio is with the video. Also used 18.04 release of the software

[GaPony]

This seems to be the case with most "movie only" copies that include multiple .m2ts files. I'm not sure it started with 0.18.04 though.

Can I assume you are also using TSMUXER v1.8.8(b) when you ran that one?

I just did a remux with that version and it is out-of-sync.

Even worse. After letting it run the first time and getting an in-sync REBUILD, I then ran the REBUILD again with v1.8.8(b) followed by v1.8.4 -- and now both are out of sync.

Arghh... how about a little consistency here? (picture me running down the call in a hospital gown pulling my hair out)

I'm not at home currently so I'll have to post the ini of X-Files @ later on.
This post has the inf of Max Payne....
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1240360&postcount=759
As for how I'm testing if the audio sync is there, from the m2ts, from the BD folder, and from a burned BD-9.... all shows up from My Best Friend's Girl to X-Files.
I first noticed it on MyBestFriendsGirl (also a seamless branched BD), on the BD-9 burn.
Then again on Max Payne, which I did not burn to BD-9... same with X-Files.

As I mentioned, for Max Payne, running it thru TSSplitter for the joining and creating a single M2ts file BD, the BD-RB output was then perfect.

It's apparently the same with X-Files.... which did not have any audio out of sync issues in each of the individual m2ts files i the workfiles folder.... however when I merged them together using TSMuxer, the audio was then out of sync again. This was not the case if I tried merging those m2ts files from the workfiles folder using TSSplitter.
So clearly it is associated with TSMuxer being used to merge those files.... that's my guess.

If I am not doing something properly, I'd be the first to fess up... but I have been getting a lot of success with BD-RB in general, as with TSSplitter, and even TSMuxer...as long as I don't use it to do the merging..lol

Anyways, let me know what else you need from me. I'm not real sure if you did or didn't have audio sync issues with X-Files??
I clearly did.

Ok. I think I found what the issue is with the out-of-sync audio. It isn't some mysterious unaccounted-for audio-gap or anything else complicated. The problem is that I'm using TSMUXER's "mplsFile=" line with audio that has been reencoded to AC3 -- not the original stream (which in this case was DTS)... duhh... :rolleyes:

I can fix that. I just need to use the "mplsFile=" parameter to demux the entire audio stream as a whole. I can then reencode that and remux it with the newly encoded video.

I just did it manually and the audio was completely in-sync.

The other option is to REBUILD it exactly like the original -- with more than one M2TS file. All I have to do in that case is adjust the MPLS to be a multipart playlist. Easy enough. That could probably cut the REBUILD time down a little.

Any preferences?

[MR.WaynesWorld]

That is a TSMuxeR that I downloaded to try out. It is not the one that comes with the db-rebuilder. I'll use the one that is in the tools directory of db-rebuilder. But I started last night two full movie jobs on each of my machines. I need to move a ripp Blu-Ray to another machine to recreate.

I'm glad it was an easy enough fix. I seem to prefer your single m2ts BD-RB output better... but whatever you think is best for continued development of BD-RB would be the better route than anything that we might 'prefer'...

No preprocessing of any kind. No command line operations, or removal of anything... not even an unneeded subtitle. All I do is open BD-Rebuilder, select the movie I want to copy, and click backup (Using the settings: Movie Only; Normal Priority; Better Quality; Target BD-9; Verbose Reporting; Stricter AVCHD Compliance is checked. I keep these same setting for every movie. Those movies with a single source m2ts turn out great, those with multiple m2ts source files don't. Switching to "Full Movie" fixes the sync issue, but has other issues with my BD-P2500.

I'll do some more testing, like using something besides TMT to view, burn the copy to DVD and watch it on a player or another PC, or rebooting between the copy completion and the playback. If its working for most people, it must be something unique to my methods or equipment.

[jwgallardo]

Jdobbs: I did the test again and still not working for Denon BD-3800.

BD-RB v0.18.4 (Beta)
Movie Only
Stricter AVCHD Compliance Checked
Burned using imgburn UDF 2.50
DVD-5
Normal Priority
Good Quality (Fastest)


Denon recognized the disc as DVD instead of BD and immediately I received an "error" saying the disc is not playable. The same error when I just removed the Auxdata folder.

I think I should run two more tests:
1) Without the "Strictly AVCHD compliance" check. How can I do that with my current RB without going to the long process of RB again?
2) Do the full movie test.
3) Try DVD-9?

Unfortunately, my computer is taking 14 hrs to RB the settings above. I'm considering getting a desktop with Core i7.

[jwgallardo]

It seems four folders are missing from the original
\\BDMV\AUXDATA
\\BDMV\BDJO
\\BDMV\JAR
\\BDMV\META

If I copy those folders from original source, may I get the same RB as using BDRB movie only without the option "Strictly AVCHD compliance"??? That way I can check if there is a way that "movie only" DVD-5 can work for Denon BD-3800. If not, I will check Full Movie DVD-9 later.

[ed209nl]

I reported a garbled video issue with the previous version of BD Rebuilder. I just tried the latest version of BD Rebuilder on the same rips and it worked correctly (and quite fast too).

Reading the changelog i'm not sure if this was an intentional fix, but give yourself a pat on the back anyway :D

@+ As I said earlier. Removal of subtitles is not supported yet -- that is the reason it is grayed out in the SETUP dialog. It was an oversight to leave the ability to check/uncheck them. I guesss I'd better disable subtitle removal in the next release to make sure I don't keep getting these reports.

Audio extraction issues with me too. This was the spanish version bluray of wall-e. Backup works fine off of hard drive with TMT. However, only english was selected in setup and I left the limit to one track box checked as default. The bluray has a complete english audio track as well as 4 other languages. Maybe it would have worked if I had just chosen spanish? Tried to create a complete movie shrunk to single layer bluray, didn't really change any other program options. Oh well there went 16 hours.

- Error in attempt to extract audio/subs.
[17:00:21] - Failed to retrieve audio, aborted

[drmih]

I'm asking a question with very little information so I apologise up front. I did a disc to bd-25 size and everything was perfect - no issues whatsoever. Did a quick check and everything seemed to work perfectly. Deleted all of WORKSPACE and bd-rebuider logs. However, what I didn't check was the obvious - does the film play? The menus, extras, warnings all are fine but when I try and play the film, or jump in at a scene, it just hangs at a blank screen. The clock doesn't count and it just seems lost. I've tried on the pc, and also on a bd-rw in a ps3. I have tried playing the M2TS on it's own and the movie is fine. Seems like some navigation issue but is there a way of resolving it without trying to redo it with the latest version?

For clarificiation I'm using a PC and also PS3.

[jdobbs]

What kind of player do you have?

[vcarter]

It was an oversight to leave the ability to check/uncheck them

this time i try with another BD which is ever a perfect french rip(i mean i can ever burn it on a dvd dl).it only gots one audio (french ac3 multich) and 2 french pgs
i uncheck subtitles myself.but i still got this error "Error in attempt to extract audio/subs / Failed to retrieve audio, aborted".i keep only french and no subtitle.

but in the inf i can see "SUBS_TO_KEEP=all" ???!!

the only way to get it working is to let all the pgs.

@+

[jdobbs]

That's exactly what I've said for about the 5th time now. Removal of subs isn't implemented yet.

[jdobbs]

Tried to create a complete movie shrunk to single layer bluray, didn't really change any other program options. Oh well there went 16 hours.
From the first post in this thread:
IF BD-RB DOESN'T WORK FOR YOU. JUST REPORT IT AS A BUG. Please leave out the "I wasted 16 hours of my time" commentary. If you don't know the risk of testing a beta you shouldn't be downloading this software.

[vcarter]

That's exactly what I've said for about the 5th time now. Removal of subs isn't implemented yet.

sorry,i thought it was grayed out to let us the ability to keep or not them.

so if there are 5 pgs,i can't only keep french ones.in fact i don't know if ps3 can manage more than 1 pgs in bd9 (avchd on dvd dl).that's why i wanted to delete all the subs.

sorry again if you ever said this:what's the purpose of "stricter avcdhd compliance for movie only"?is it for forward and rewind problem?if not can you please say me what must be add to the inf?(in the topic i've seen something about CLI,but i don't know when to use it).

i know ps3 need strict h264 level 4.1,but i can' t find the way to change the level.

maybe ps3 owners who get succesfull rip with bd rebuilder,can give us their best config .

thanx

ps:my dream is "strict ps3 compliance for movie only"

[jdobbs]

BD-RB is using level 4.1 on all its encodes.

The "strict" option just removes some directories that seem to confuse certain players.

[francois20001]

I am having the same issue as Drmih. i completed a full backup of dark knight and everything went well. i started paying the finished files on PowerDVD 7.3. and it played the warming and preview fine. When it got to the movie it went to black screen and the counter no longer moved. Going to try an ISO of it on 8.0


EDIT

Plays fine in PowerDVD 8 once in ISO format

[vcarter]

@jdobbs

sorry when i wrote CLI,it was CLPI.i've read this in the topic about problem with chapter on certain player

Try adding "FIX_CLPI=0" to the "[Options]" area of your config (INI) file

sure,i know there's no need to use that with "movie only".but is there a "trick" like that for the FW/RW problem happening sometimes on PS3?

i explain:i've read a rip of indian jones 4 where you get a black screen with only the sound when you used FW.i've read it was a tsmuxergui problem .

@+

ps:i found the bug with my sub error

i got 5 french pgs .if i keep 5 i got "error in attempt to extract audio/subs".if i uncheck all of them i got the same error.

here's the only way backup begin:the first unchecked and the others kept.here are the captures

ps2:i got these error (attachments 3).what's strange is that in the little error window i can read in french????bd rebuilder isn't wrotten in french,isnt'it? french audio is dts 768 kbps 6 ch 48 khz

Beta Version 0.18.7

I've posted a link to the newest beta on the first post of this thread. Here are the changes:

January 25th, 2008 - v0.18.7
- Rewrote movie-only audio handling routines to fix
out-of-sync audio on multipart sources.
- Corrected another bug that could cause the wrong
MPLS to sometimes be selected as the main-movie in
the Streams List.
- "Inconsistency" errors made no sense, as they were
actually failed encodes. Removed the error and put
"failed encode" as should be.
- Added error ID in critical areas for debugging.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.


I also disabled any subtitle removal... it was never meant to work -- mainly because I'm still working out what can and can't be removed while keeping menus functioning. It will be reenabled when the code is done for it.

No bugs will be investigated after this post that are not reported specifically to have been encountered in this version or above. In other words -- if you don't post the version I will ignore your post.

Thanks JD, will run X-Files_2_US in the next few minutes. Will report back the results when completed.

Downloaded it as well.... Will be doing X-files 2 later on once currrent full disc backups are complete.

Version 0.18.4 beta


Not sure if this is a bug or a BD Rebuilder newbie issue

While making a a full disc BU of Hellboy II, I received an error the x.264 encoder and that it shut down. It aborted that track and several more. I have attached one of the error reports and the current log is below. It is continuing to run an encode.

What is interesting to me is that all of the VID's that have aborted are listed as 1080i, the 480i and 1080p VID's.

I will continue monitoring as there are several more 1080i VID's to reencode.

Will let you know how it does when it is finished.

Can I send you anything else?

[DaMacFunkin]

Try adding "FIX_CLPI=0" to the "[Options]" area of your config (INI) file. The Panasonic BD-30 and BD-35 seem to have a problem with a CLPI file where the chapter jump tables have been corrected. I think it is a bug in the player since it seems to be only those that have an issue -- but it hasn't been proven one way or the other yet.

Just finished re-running resovoir Dogs from scartch with FIX_CLPI=0 and it didn't make any diffference, the thing i have noticed is the CLPI files in the back up folder are much larger than the ones in the normal folder, is this right? Surley they should be the same.

[Capsbackup]

@vcarter:
It would be better to NOT preprocess in any way. Just Anydvdhd to hard drive and straight to BD-RB. You will be much more likely to have success or a possible solution by jdobbs if he doesn't ( and he should not ) have to track down if the bug came from preprocessing or his program.

@+ Hmmm... any more information you can give me? Title? Also -- are you saying you tried to RESUME on the job that failed in post 843?

If it is a movie-only encode, you very definitely cannot resume... you have to start over with the new version because it extracts the entire audio stream at once now.

- Error in attempt to extract audio/subs.
[20:04:21] - Failed to retrieve audio, aborted

when i want to delete all the files in the backup directory (to make a clean new try),then i can't cause i got the error "you can't delete these files cause something use them".in fact only the ones in WORKFILES can't be deleted.i had to stop tsmuxer in Windows Task Manager to delete them.

so i think it's a problem with tsmuxer.here are the two files i can find in WORKFILES :00001.track_4352.dts and AUD_00001.meta

I have just done a movie only encode to DVD9. Upon completion, I tried to play the stream in media player classic, but there is no audio. If I go to properities, then there is only the video codec listed for the file. In the workfiles folder, the extracted PCM WAV is there and it plays fine and the AC3 audio file is there and that plays fine also, but it seems it doesn't remux it to M2TS properly. ANy ideas anyone?

@jdobbs:

Is there any way to make the BETA use 1 pass encoding, just to finish job earlier and post bugs faster?

Thanks for this great program...Edit the INI file and set ENCODE_QUALITY=5 -- it will really look terrible -- but it should be fast (well... as fast as it can with HD at least).

[Dark Shikari]

Edit the INI file and set ENCODE_QUALITY=5 -- it will really look terrible -- but it should be fast (well... as fast as it can with HD at least).Assuming that's my ultra-fast setting--I'm rather curious how well that works for BD25. It might actually be passable given sufficiently absurd bitrate...

[jdobbs]

Edit the INI file and set ENCODE_QUALITY=5 -- it will really look terrible -- but it should be fast (well... as fast as it can with HD at least). I forgot to mention -- also turn off "Quicker Encode for Extras" if you select this... otherwise you won't get the high-speed one pass encoder, you'll get the "ok speed" one pass encoder (that runs for "quicker").

You also have to exit and restart if you change ENCODE_QUALITY -- as it is only read at program start.

I dont know if this is an error, but it is on my computer. When I try to start rebuilder I get the following:

I then tried to open the info.avs file and it says the following:

It didnt work and why do you have ConvertToYV12 twice in the script ? I changed ConvertToYV12() to ConvertTORGB() and then it created a info.txt file. isnt this an error in your program ?

also what is the reason to write out the framecount, when it is already set in the first line (DirectShowSource). I mean the framecount will be the same as the input, because you already have set the framecount. The same goes for the framerate.

I'll have to look at why it has it in twice, that certainly wasn't intended... but it shouldn't cause an error -- and it works for me.

Frankly, though, I have all that information from the MPLS and CLPI files anyway... that method is left over from earlier versions.

[GZZ]

yea - I cant get YV12 to play in media player classic, when trying to open the avs file.

dont know what I should change in FFDSHOW to make it work. Maybe someone know ?

This is just in media player classic, have no problem loading the avs script into x264 encoder, its only when I try to do a preview/playback. If I use ConvertToRGB() instead it works just fine.. No clue why.

[drmih]

I've had no issues until today when I've had two together - perhaps it's because there's more time to play at the weekend. I've tried with a few versions of RB including 18.7

The Dark Knight gives the problem where it seems to scan in the information okay but when you go to encode it reports the size as 175Gb and stops because the target size it too small.

Indiana Jones reads the information but has each title as 4GB exactly and therefore just identifies the first as the movie - I didn't try encoding this as it looked too ominous to waste hours of encoding time on.

Both of the original rips play fine on the pc.

FYI JDobbs, just finished X-Files movie-only (actually finished about an hour ago) and it turned out absolutely perfect...... no audio sync issue and the video is very crisp.

Indiana Jones reads the information but has each title as 4GB exactly and therefore just identifies the first as the movie - I didn't try encoding this as it looked too ominous to waste hours of encoding time on.

Both of the original rips play fine on the pc. I'm running "The Dark Knight" right now with v0.18.7... no issues from my end. It sees the source as 37.92GB. Have you done any preprocessing or manipulation of the source?

[jwgallardo]

Jdobbs and all:

Finally, my Denon BD-3800 is working but not with the latest version of BD-Rebuilder in Movie Only mode. Let's explain the situation. I did a full movie backup that I was expecting to work. It turned out that it happened the same issue I reported back with the first version 0.17.3: Only audio working but video with a black screen.

Now this was really weird to me so I enter into the Denon Setup and I find out I have the I/P Direct option ON. When I put I/P Direct Option OFF, voila, I can see the video and audio in perfect sync. That is the good news, but the bad news is that with recent releases (18.3 and 18.4) movie only is not working again. So it really was working since the beginning but not with latest releases. Sorry Jdobbs, it was working for me but now "movie only" is not working; only full movie. Here is the story:

Denon BD-3800

v0.17.3 (The first one)
Movie Only - DVD5
Working Perfect (YES, it was working at the beginning)

v0.17.3
Movie Only - DVD5
AUXDATA folder deleted
Player recognize the disc as DVD instead of BD
Disc Error displayed followed by please eject the disc.

v0.18.4
Movie Only - DVD5
Stricter AVCHD Selected
Player recognize the disc as DVD instead of BD
Disc Error displayed followed by please eject the disc.

v0.18.4
Movie Only - DVD5
Stricter AVCHD NOT Selected
Player recognize the disc as BD (Ok here)
But player got confused and displays 1 1 -- -- -- -- -- in the player's display and no audio or video is played.

v0.18.4
Full Movie - DVD9
Working Perfect as v0.17.3 (movie only).

Jdobbs: Please let me know how I can help to bring back the "Movie Only" option to work in the latest version or any files you need me to sent you.

PD. For people interested to know what is I/P Direct in Denon setup, here is what manual said:

I/P Direct: Set whether output the 24-frame material directly from HDMI OUT or not. This setting is for BD only
OFF: 24 frame material will be converted to 60 frame and output 1080p60 frame from the HDMI Out
ON: 24 frame material will be output directly 1080p24 frame from HDMI Out

I don't have a 24-frame display (Sharp 52" LCD) so I should have that option OFF. It was ON but obviously the original movie was not 24 frame, so I assume after x264 process, it is 24 frame. Am I right??? That is why I was hearing only the audio part but black screen displayed as my LCD cannot receive 24 frame directly.

Jdobbs and all,

First, thanks for this great tool! I couldn't read all posts in this thread, so I hope I don't post something what was already written.
:thanks:

I ran the tool twice, both target 25GB BD, to harddisk file structure (not writing directly to BD-R(E))

First:
-----------------------
[20:58:31] BD Rebuilder v0.17.13 (beta)
- Input BD size: 4,00 GB
<<< deleted>>>

Two strange things:
- Input size says 4,00GB, but it was a file structure of a BD on harddisk. No problem in output or the process itself.
- When writing the output filestructure to BD-R, ImgBurn calculated the used diskspace: 93%


Second:
-----------------------
[21:03:44] BD Rebuilder v0.18.4 (beta)
<<< deleted>>>

- When writing the output filestructure to BD-R, ImgBurn calculated the used diskspace: 91%


Can the used diskspaced be more optimized? Would it iincrease quality? Anything to do with settings?

Both BD-R played great, without any problem. Audio recoded to AC3. No problems detected. My player is the same as the burner, a HTPC.

Thanks!

[Cabal2000]

Will BD Rebuilder work on a 64 bit PC?

[MR.WaynesWorld]

Will BD Rebuilder work on a 64 bit PC?

I am currently running in three 64 bit Vista (1 Ultimate and 2 Home Premium) quad processors each with 8 GB of memory.... Works great....:thanks:

encoding issues with some of the files


I had the same bug/problem with Version 0.18.4 that I reported yesterday. It only occurs on the 1080i VID. Don't know if it's a problem with Hellboy II or the program.
After burning the final image, the DVD works great in my Sony player but does not play video on my computer (which is fine with me). I'm going to try the 0.18.7 on another DVD.
This is a promising program.

Keep up the good work, jdobbs

Any ideas or any other info I can supply to get around this. :thanks:

[rainfellow]

I just found out about this project and will be totally HAPPY to help beta test this. I just LOVE DVD-Rebuilder and use it on an almost daily basis. If this works anywhere close to that, it will be totally awesome!! I'll post results once I get the first Blu-Ray done.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!!

[Poseidon79]

BD-Rebuilder 0.18.4 (I know there is a newer version out but don't want to keep making $5 coasters till I get a response)

I use AnyDVD to rip by blue rays. I have tried backing up the movie only on several blue-ray disks using BD-25 output to use on my PS3. The audio plays great but the video skips every 2 or 3 seconds. I have tired encoding with different audio formats to see if this changes things but to no avail. I have tried both codecs for mpeg2 in ffshow. The media I'm using is Optical Quantum BD-25. For those of you who have had success playing BD-25 discs on your PS3 please advise me to your settings. Oh... the blue-ray burner is an LG GWB-210L.

I should also report that using this rip and remuxing to an m2ts file plays great on my PC so I don't think the issue is in the ripping process.

Woo.. just as i was about to knock this program on the head i've had a success with My Panasonic BD-30 and a Full BD25 encode, Kill Bill Vol 1 with FIX_CLPI=0 in the ini, but i ripped the disk diffrently and i don't know if that has made the difference, i'm gonna rerip resovoir dogs the same way and i'll let you know.
p.s. I used the crappy fast setting ENCODE_QUALITY=5 and the Movie itself looks not that bad.... :-)

Just came into an issue with the new Beta software. I had a couple of X264.exe stopped working error messages. I was doing a Full Backup of Hereos Season 2 Disc 1.

Any ideas or any other info I can supply to get around this. :thanks:

Same here on both disc 1 & 2 not tried disc 3 or 4 but both occur once it gets to the 1080i files.

[~bT~]

BD-Rebuilder 0.18.4 (I know there is a newer version out but don't want to keep making $5 coasters till I get a response)

I use AnyDVD to rip by blue rays. I have tried backing up the movie only on several blue-ray disks using BD-25 output to use on my PS3. The audio plays great but the video skips every 2 or 3 seconds. I have tired encoding with different audio formats to see if this changes things but to no avail. I have tried both codecs for mpeg2 in ffshow. The media I'm using is Optical Quantum BD-25. For those of you who have had success playing BD-25 discs on your PS3 please advise me to your settings. Oh... the blue-ray burner is an LG GWB-210L.

I should also report that using this rip and remuxing to an m2ts file plays great on my PC so I don't think the issue is in the ripping process.
it may also be the player (fw update?) or even the media used..

[MvB]

For me the Vid skips every 2-3 seconds, too.
BD-Rebuilder movie only V 18.4, BD5.

Panasonic DMP-BD-10 plays the discs fine.

[Poseidon79]

The player as stated is the PS3. It was purchased 3 weeks ago and has the newest firmware.

[NexGen76]

@NexGen76:

Your going to have to be more specific if anyone is to help. Does it skip when played back on a PC or stand alone Blu-ray player? What brand player? etc...


Sorry PS3 launch 60 GB model..........

[MikeyBK]

I know that my daughter's PS3 plays all the BD-9 movie-only discs fine.... not sure why the skipping for you guys.

I know that GaPony has done around 40 or so and plays them on a PS3 as well... maybe he can shed some light for you guys as to why his and my daughters' plays fine while you guys are having issues??

[Capsbackup]

@NexGen76:
Can you try the disc on another player, maybe it's the PS3 ( see previous posts above ). At least you could rule that out then. Most movie only should be compatible with the PS3. It could be a bad burn to disc, but Verbatim media is usually the best. DVD burner failing?

[Poseidon79]

I get a message on my PC "A disc with an unsupported format in drive G" when I put the disc that plays... but skips... into my PC. Won't play on WMP or Power DVD. I'm looking for someone who's had success to give me SPECIFIC settings they've used in ffshow and BD-Rebuilder.

Yeah I get that aswell since I updated PowerDVD 7.3 played fine before so think thats a issue with PowrDVD not BD RB.

I don't have another player to try it out on but i did do two DVD-9 movie only(BD-RBV0.17.13) with success before i upgraded to BD-Rebuilder 0.18.4 & before PS3 firmware upgrade 2.60 without any issues so who know what it could be.Also not my burner because its new only had it 2 months.Thxs

[rainfellow]

Ok, I'm trying this out, but I'm not too sure if I have everything set up correctly. When I try to do an encode, it errors out on the main m2ts file. Also, on the others that do get encoded if they are VC1 based they give a grey screen when watching them in either MPC or PowerDVD. I can watch the original files in PowerDVD. I'm not sure if I have everything I need installed or maybe just not set up correctly. I have ffdshow 2527 and AVISynth 2.5.8. I'm not sure if I have them set up correctly for BD-Rebuilder. Any help is appreciated. If you need anymore info, let me know. Thanks again!!

NextGen76: Check my post about Denon BD-3800. It happened the same to me. It worked with version 0.17.13 but not with 0.18.4. Movie Only DVD-5. Tried both with and without "Strictly AVCHD" option. Waiting to hear back from Jdobbs.

[GaPony]

I have a newer 80gb PS3 using system update 2.53. I don't see any reason that 2.60 would have any issues not found with 2.53 in regards to playing AVCHD.

On movies that have only one main video file, I have had pretty good luck with playing on my PS3. When I used version 0.17.13 I simply made a Movie Only copy, for a BD-9 disc, using normal priority and high quality settings. If the main audio file was LPCM, I deselected it and used the AC3 audio file instead. Once BD-Rebuilder got finished, I removed the AUXDATA folder from the BDMV folder and burned the disc with ImgBurn making sure to use UDF 2.5 output.

These same discs worked just fine in my Samsung BD-P2500 player, as well.

When 0.18.04 was released, I started using the "Stricter compliance for AVCHD" setting and didn't have to manually remove the AUXDATA folder anymore, but had a few movies that didn't want to cooperate, so I reprocessed them with 0.17.13 and they worked fine. I then tried them without the "Stricter compliance for AVCHD" setting and manually removed the AUXDATA folder and they also worked... I'm not sure what the deal is with that.. probably just a fluke on the failed ones.

I haven't had any luck with full movies or "Movie Only" jobs that have multiple .m2ts files unless I burn to a 25gb BD-RE. I'm not sure why. I've decided to leave those movies alone until we get further down the line with program updates.

So far as FFDShow settings... I use the default settings, with the exception that I enabled mpeg2, which is disabled by default. I also made sure AviSynth was enabled, but don't remember if it was or not as the default setting.

I use nothing but Verbatim DL media for my BD-9 burns and U se a Samsung SH-S202G and Samsung SH-223F for burning. I use an LG GGW-H20L for the original rip to hard drive with AnyDVD-HD. I don't try to process from the original disc, and I don't try doing it from an .ISO mounted to a virtual drive.

Hopefully, this will help some PS3 owners.

Can you expand on the AviSynth setting in ffdshow. Were is it specifically and whayt it should be set too.

Thanks..

[MikeyBK]

AVISYNTH should be enabled by default when you install ffdshow..... you just gotta have AVISYNTH installed on your PC that's all.
Only things I had to manually enable in ffdshow was mpeg2 and VC-1.

Not sure if JD wants to add more info to that.... but that's how I have it set and it's been pretty much all successful since, especially now that 0.18.07 addresses the slight audio out of sync issue on seamless branching Blurays.

[alluringreality]

Denon BD-3800... Tried both with and without "Strictly AVCHD" option.

The owners manual for your player does not list AVCHD compatibility.

[jwgallardo]

The owners manual for your player does not list AVCHD compatibility.

Thanks alluringreality. I will check that. I hope it can work for me without that option checked as it worked well in initial version 0.17.13.

I'm going back to version 0.17.13 tonight using the same movie & setup to see if there are any issues.

[bhosty]

I also have stuttering & corruption on version 0.18 movie-only encodes played back on my ps3 - going back to 0.17.13 fixes all the problems...

[MikeyBK]

I can also now confirm that the two BDs I did with 0.18.07 (X-Files & Mummy 3) skips every couple seconds on my daughters' PS3 as well.... not sure what was changed in version 0.18.07 that is causing this, but did not have the Strict AVCHD checked, and never had any problems for movie only BD-9s prior to this???
I don't remember if I tested any BD-9s that I did with 0.18.04.... but 0.17.13 was definitely not a problem for the PS3.

[MikeyBK]

Max Payne, which I did with 0.18.04 is also skipping every couple seconds on her PS3....
All BD-9s play perfectly on my Sony BDP-BX1 player......
hmmmm, wonder what may have caused it JD??
Wonder if this is related to the AUXDATA folder issue?? It isn't on any other BD-9s prior to 0.18??

[mech61]

Im getting no audio on my conversions, brilliant video though, tried 4 different movies all versions of BD RB only success ive had was with the 1st version and Kill Bill Volume 1 when it was released. Thought it might have been media tried 3 different dvd9 discs and 2 dvd5. All movies ripped with ANYDVD-HD , the iso plays in PowerDVD when mounted ... any ideas thanks.

since using the .18.07 I have been getting skipping every 2-3 seconds. It stops if you rewind/ff but starts again after the video has played for 2-3 seconds.

Odd .17 version works well.

example : cars UK blu ray version .18.07 skips every 2 seconds
version .17.04 absolutely fine.

This is all on a uk ps3

(23,000MB) Output Was (22,000MB) I Only Mention This Becuase As We All Know The More Space You Can Chew The Better The Quality... Also I Noticed Someone Else Asked For A Method Of Encoding Quicker And You Gave Them A Command To Add The Ini File... Is There A Command That Can Be Added That Will Tell BD-RB To Remux The Original Audio Tracks Instead Of Encoding Them (DTS-HD For Example) P.S. I Attached The Zip For World's End Setup Files...

Hi JDobbs,

Pirates Of The Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl (UK region B) encoded fine using v18.07. I had a similar result with the sizing. The final size was 22GB, with 23GB set as output size.

Also encoded Casino Royale (region free) ok with v18.07, however again the output was under size (21.8GB using target size of 23GB).

Let me know if you need the logs.

On both discs the uncompressed LPCM audio was converted to Dolby successfully.

On a side note, I'm with ds9delta in being curious if there is any simple way to keep the original HD audio tracks, without you having to write the function into the software at this time?

This isn't simple ( :eek: ), but i'm gonna try this temp solution...

1) Use tsMuxeR to demux the HD audio track. You can then see the HD audio file size.

2) Use BD-RB to re-encode using a custom output size of 23GB, minus the HD audio file size (i.e. 19GB, allowing for 4GB of HD audio).

3) Use tsMuxeR to mux the original HD audio (from step 1) into the BD-RB re-encoded main M2TS file, replacing the re-encoded Dolby/DTS audio. Save as a new M2TS file, giving you an M2TS of the same name containing the re-encoded video from BD-RB, the original HD audio, plus any other audio tracks and subs).

4) Delete and replace the BD-RB re-encoded main M2TS file with the new M2TS file from step 3.

Thanks

Just Thought I Should Let You Know When The First Beta Of BD-Rebuilder Was Around I Tried Using TSmuxer & Remux Etc.. To Personally Remux The HD Audio Into The New "Shrank" Copy And Ran Into Two Problems First Of... No Sound On Any Playback Device.. Discovered That Even Though I Had Remuxed The HD Audio In The Data Files Created By BDRB Still Indicated AC3 So No Playback Device Would Play Sound Since I Had Replaced The AC3 With The DTS-HD Solution BD-Edit I Was Able To Change The Data Files From AC3 To Indicate DTS-HD Sound Worked Again! Second Problem All Chapter Points Were Haywire!! Eg. On One Disc Chap1(Play Movie) Began The Movie At 5mins 32secs And End Movie Cut 3/4 Through No Chapter Point Was Were It Belonged! I Have Yet To Find The Solution Unless BDRB Can Keep The HD For Us.

And :thanks: Again Jdobbs For The Great Work!

[jwgallardo]

Max Payne, which I did with 0.18.04 is also skipping every couple seconds on her PS3....
All BD-9s play perfectly on my Sony BDP-BX1 player......
hmmmm, wonder what may have caused it JD??
Wonder if this is related to the AUXDATA folder issue?? It isn't on any other BD-9s prior to 0.18??

No. AUXDATA and empty folders erased with Strictly AVCHD option only have to do with player compatibility, so it either play or not play.

In a different thread, Jdobbs mentioned that he re-coded the "only movie" process from 0.17.13 to 0.18.4 so I think something happened then in the process. That is why PS3 is now skipping as many are mentioning and Denon BD-3800 is not even playing. I have both Denon/PS3 and both was working with v0.17.13 movie only / DVD-5 & DVD-9. Full movie mode is always working good in Denon nor PS3.

[drmih]

I've just done Master and Commander as both bd-25 and bd-9 (full disc) and both have very bad breakups and pixelation. Using version 18.7 and can confirm that original rip on HDD is fine.

Hey ds9delta,

I believe there were issues with the chapter points in earlier versions but jdobbs has sorted now.

Thanks for the tip about BD-Edit. I'll have crack with v18.07 and let you know how i got on.

[KiddColt]

Hello Again,

I was happy to see the LPCM bug I reported earlier as being FIXED but there's still a glitch...perhaps with the GUI.
When I double-click the LPCM track to give it a red X, it encodes it anyway (even though there's an AC3 track right after it). I learned long ago that an AC3 2nd track following an LPCM is simply a 6 channel remix and the LPCM track can be trashed (until someone figures out how to encode it into a better 8 channel format). One can verify this by comparing the size of the AC3 encoded LPCM and the 2nd AC3 tracks...they're identical!

Great job jdobbs,

So what do I need to post since I can't seem to get it to NOT error out when trying to back up a Blu-Ray?? I want to help as much as I can, but I see no "post this" messages, or at least from what I've seen.

Thanks!

Hi JDobbs,

Pirates Of The Caribbean - Curse of the Black Pearl (UK region B) encoded fine using v18.07. I had a similar result with the sizing. The final size was 22GB, with 23GB set as output size.

Also encoded Casino Royale (region free) ok with v18.07, however again the output was under size (21.8GB using target size of 23GB).

Let me know if you need the logs.

On both discs the uncompressed LPCM audio was converted to Dolby successfully.

On a side note, I'm with ds9delta in being curious if there is any simple way to keep the original HD audio tracks, without you having to write the function into the software at this time?

This isn't simple ( :eek: ), but i'm gonna try this temp solution...

1) Use tsMuxeR to demux the HD audio track. You can then see the HD audio file size.

2) Use BD-RB to re-encode using a custom output size of 23GB, minus the HD audio file size (i.e. 19GB, allowing for 4GB of HD audio).

3) Use tsMuxeR to mux the original HD audio (from step 1) into the BD-RB re-encoded main M2TS file, replacing the re-encoded Dolby/DTS audio. Save as a new M2TS file, giving you an M2TS of the same name containing the re-encoded video from BD-RB, the original HD audio, plus any other audio tracks and subs).

4) Delete and replace the BD-RB re-encoded main M2TS file with the new M2TS file from step 3.

Thanks

Hi Jdobbs,

Did some more testing of Casino Royale last night and it appears there are a few small issues.

- The menu system has no audio. This may be because i didn't include all audio.

- The video that play in the background of the menu system hangs after about 5 seconds.

- After you select the movie to play from the menu, just before and just after the copyright warning message plays, the image goes a light shade of grey. The grey screen last maybe 5 seconds.

v18.07 was used.

I'll give it another try with all audio tracks included and let you have my log files.

Thanks

Hey guys, I just thought of an idea, since I had a couple BD-9s that was having skipping issues on PS3s, I decided to split the 7.3 GB m2ts file into two (using HDBDSplitGUI), then remuxed into a two part Bluray, then burned them to two single layer DVD+Rs.... beats putting a test remux onto a Dual Layer only to find out it still has skipping issues on a PS3...;)

This will see if it's an encoding problem with version 0.18.07 for the PS3s, or a remuxing error if the remux fixes the every 2 to 3 second skipping.

No go on the split... it still skips on the PS3 while playing perfectly on my Sony BDP player. It seems that the PS3's dosen't like how version 0.18.07 set the encdoing, perhaps related to how it's decoded??

I am also having trouble with PS3 Skipping. I tried two PS3’s both have their latest updates. I am using BD Rebuilder to create BD-9 discs. I tried version 0.18.04 and 0.18.07 getting the same results. Any ideas?

libavcodec works but at x0.05, WMV9 crashes with above error but go at around x0.1, CoreAVC works ("disabled" in ffdshow) faster then them all but get the above error again (by faster I mean it's still going to take about 6 days on my PC!).

I did get it to work on a few video files using CoreAVC by downloading x264 into the tools folder and it seemed to work for a few hours before moving on to the next m2ts and crashing again. Most of the time it crashes in the first 10 minutes but somethimes it can take up to an hour.

I see someone on page 7 of this thread had the same problem but I couldn't see a solution

tried restarting as well as uninstalling everything (WMP, WM Encoder 9, FFDShow, CoreAVC, x264, AVISynth etc etc) and reinstalling what's needed

All my BD-9s created with versions 0.18.04 or .07 skips on the PS3, but all those created with versions 0.17.13 and before works fine. So I suggest you try using the 0.17.13 version for now until JDobbs let's us know what may be causing this issue. He's probably very busy with his schedule currently.

I am currently doing Mamma Mia as well... VC-1 encoded main movie, but looks like you're trying full disc. Will look it over after my encode gets thru in the next half hour or so... and will let you know if mine was successful as well.. BTW, using the libavcodec to decode.

Seems to be going well enough--must be something amiss in your other-than-BD-RB setup. Now, let me stop this backup--owning the original will be bad enough! :eek: ;)

[MikeyBK]

Mamma Mia, movie only, using BD-RB 0.17.13.... perfect results...
0.18.07 will have to sit idle for me until we hear from JD.
Something definitely changed from 0.17 to 0.18 which causes this with PS3s, which may be the added encoding options??

As for mmace, you might want to do movie only.... I know at least one playlist has multiple m2ts files, and I think I remember some had issues with this on VC-1 encoded Blurays.

Yes I know, thus why I stated that something definitely 'did' change from version 0.17 to 0.18.
But what I'm wondering is if it's related to the rebuild, reencode, or the remux....

As for the Denon issue you mention... wasn't that associated with an incompatiblity issue with the empty AUXDATA folder?...and not related in any way to this current PS3 skipping issue??

[Steff 320i]

I wanted to backup "Wall-E" movie-only today. Beta 18.07 didn't even start to extract audio. "Error extracting audio" or something like that.
I switched to beta 18.04 and it started working right away. Unfortunately, the backup shows audio sync issues. You can't notice it at the beginning, but the delay gets bigger as you keep watching. At the end of the movie, there's a gap of apprx 2 seconds between audio and video.
For example: You see Wall-E hitting the ground, but you hear the "crash" sound 2 seconds later. This error happens during playback on my computer and my Samsung BD-P1500. Can I play with the settings in order to get this fixed?

Oh, after trying "Wall-E", I also made a movie only backup of "The Patriot" (Mel Gibson), leaving the settings just like they were before (still beta 18.04). Worked absolutely great. Subtitles are there, and no sync issues at all. Three hours of movie really do fit on a BD-5 (DVD-R), but I think I will redo this one on BD-9 (DVD-DL).

[MvB]

I was thinking that the ps3 maybe has problems with the pulldown flags in the stream. Didn't have time to research how to insert or remove pulldown flags after encoding, but maybe it's worth a try.

If i'm not mistaken there was a --pulldown 32 option in x264, too, if that has anything to do with it.

[mmace]

and will let you know if mine was successful as well.. BTW, using the libavcodec to decode.
libavcodec is the only one which doesn't crash x264 on mine, but it runs at 0.31fps (single pass) and is using 15% of both cores!

As for mmace, you might want to do movie only.... I know at least one playlist has multiple m2ts files, and I think I remember some had issues with this on VC-1 encoded Blurays.I don't need to do it, I was just trying the software out to see how well it worked and what the quality would be like when shrunk to BD-R 25, just going to keep messing til it works!

My wife managed to buy that one today, so I plugged it-in to take a quick look. BD-RB seems to me to be working just fine...
Actually the process completed with errors for 6 of the streams/programs on the disc: 287, 288, 289, 293, 294, and 295.

All of these have in common that they are VC-1, AP@L3, 1920x1080, and 29.970, Interlaced TFF. Those that work fine are Progressive 23.976fps. The error(s) are the same for all, and the result is an incomplete .stats file and zero .264 files:

So BD-RB seems not to be detecting the Interlaced characteristic of these, and thus not setting the x264 --interlaced option on encode???

Unfortunately these streams are the key extras that you'd want in a full backup. jdobbs you might want to pick this one up--despite my skepticism we watched it last night and it is loads of musical fun... :p

P.S. Selection of any of these programs from the menu causes both PDVD and AS TMT to abort. Used latest BD-RB v0.18.7.

I'd like to try fixing the 6 bad files "by hand" and then re-building, but can't seem to figure-out how to tell BD-RB that I want to just REBUILD again (PHASE TWO). I tried changing REBUILD_COMPLETE from =1 to =0 in BDREBUILDER.INF but I still get only a 'Backup' button, not Resume, and if I click it I'm asked if I want to Delete all working files?

If you read through earlier posts you will find that ffmpeg / directshow has problems with decoding mixed interlaced/progressive VC-1 streams which is often found in the Extras of VC-1 disks. Apparently only few (not free) decoders can cope with such material.

In the end, instead of trying to deinterlace as BD-RB, I instead just indexed those six extras with DGVC1index and encoded interlaced...

You would need to join the work file m2ts files with TSSplitter, then remux that joined m2ts into Bluray format with either TSMuxer or TSRemux..... then BD-RB can load it to reencode...

No. Certainly it seems my Denon do not support AVCHD discs, but it recognized discs with full BD folder structures (aka without the option "Strictly AVCHD" enable).With version 0.17.3 it played discs (movie only/BD5) fine. Since version 0.18.4, the disc is recognized but the player got stuck immediately after trying to play the disc. Since it was working perfect in version 0.17, I'm assuming the issue is very similar that the skipping issues with PS3. It was not present on v0.17 but it is in v0.18. The only difference is that denon player refuses to play discs created with v0.18 (but indeed the disc is recognized as BD). Only Jdobbs could give us an idea.

PS. Full movie mode working perfect in all versions.

Have you taken a look at the *.bdmv, *.clpi and *.mpls files? Could it be that the *.bdmv files show that it is BD while the *.clpi and *.mpls files identify it as AVCHD? This could be throwing off your standalone's firmware. Just a guess.

There is a thread here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143600) about authoring for the Panasonic standalone... maybe someone there can help you further?

Apparently only few (not free) decoders can cope with such material.I've searched through the post but cannot find these decoders you mention, care to say what they are so I can look into buying them?

also, once the extras are encoded using libav I can abort, set it to a faster codec and restart doing the main movie (which it does last)?

[jdobbs]

Ok, I was out-of-town for a while and couldn't respond...

For the folks having PS3 skipping problems -- is that on BD-25, BD-9, BD-5 or all?

Which encoder quality setting are you using?

Also, could someone try using the setting "ENCODE_QUALITY=6" and see if the skipping goes away. That uses the original command line that was in v0.17... That would at least eliminate the X264 settings.

Thanks.

The only decoder I found which did never fail on VC-1 mixed progressive/interlaced material was neuron2's DGVC1DecNV.
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1215718#post1215718
It works with newer Nvidia cards only (!) and is not supported by BD-RB. So I guess there are still certain VC-1 files - sometimes found in the Extras of VC-1 BDs - for which BD-RB will fail.

IIRC there has been a post stating that the SONIC decoder might also work.

[mcalistor]

Long time lurker, first time poster, love the forum, great topic.

Thanks to the wealth of information within this thread, I've successfully made backups of at least a dozen of my movies, no problems! I've done both BD9s and BD5s. I always use "movie only", ultra high quality 2 pass, and audio is untouched.

The quality is amazing, even on the BD5s. It's funny how a 25gb BD can look good at BD5 while an 8gb DVD looks terrible at DVD5. Anyways, lately, encountered a couple problems, not sure if they're bugs though:

1. The last three rebuilds, all of them at BD9, play in a narrow format on my Sammy BD-P2500. The first 10-12 backups all played flawlessly (as long as I remember to enable "Stricter AVCHD"), but the last three are messed up. I get big sidebars on my 16:9 DLP. The movies play fine on my PC using Classic Media Player at the proper wide aspect ratio of 2.35:1. I checked my HT setup by testing some previous backups, no problem, so I know my config is good. The only way I can fix it is to switch my BD player to output 720p and "format" the TV to "wide expand", but then the movie is obviously cropped and PQ is down. Like I said, this probably isn't a bug, but maybe someone knows what the dealio is.

2. All of my builds come up short of their intended media capacity, for example, a BD9 build will be anywhere from 300MB to a full GB less than the available size of the disc. BD5's also come up short between 300 and 400 MB. So I thought I try to manually adjust the size, just by 100MB to see if that helped. The 2nd pass finishes okay, but then my PC bluescreens during the rebuilding phase. The first time I did this was on a BD5, PC crashed towards the end of the rebuild. The second time was on a BD9, PC crashed before anything was written to the BD structure. BTW, I'm using Vista 64bit and libavcodec.

Here's the logged error:

The last three rebuilds, all of them at BD9, play in a narrow format on my Sammy BD-P2500. I'm not sure how that could happen. Most HD is 1:1 ratio -- and the SAR for other item settings (extras) haven't changed at all. Is it possible you may have changed settings on your player?

[MikeyBK]

Ok, I was out-of-town for a while and couldn't respond...

For the folks having PS3 skipping problems -- is that on BD-25, BD-9, BD-5 or all?

Which encoder quality setting are you using?

Also, could someone try using the setting "ENCODE_QUALITY=6" and see if the skipping goes away. That uses the original command line that was in v0.17... That would at least eliminate the X264 settings.

Thanks.
For my three that skipped on the PS3s, it was all on th Fast setting and all BD-9s..

I can try the encode quality 6 tonite on one of those that did skip. Will let you know the result, probably tommorrow morning snce I am currently half way thru re-doing XFiles at the moment.

Hi!

I found a problem with audio language on Disney BluRays.

I have here for example "chronicles of narnia, part 1", region B, german.

After language selection on the first screen (choose german), then there comes a general BluRay Disc trailer -> german language

Immediatly after this, the come some Movie trailers. These are not in one m2ts files, but in more. Its 4 trailes and in between them, the are some short animations like "in cinema" or "on bluray".

On this trailers, the in between animations are german (eg. "Im Kino"), so it plays the correct playlist. But the audio on all trailers is english. On the original the audio is german.

Right click on PowerDVD->audio selection gives me only german audio to choose (already selected), even though in the m2ts is english and german (checked).

In the main movie, audio mapping is OK.

So problem summary:
Language dialog (choose german) -> BluRay Trailer (german) -> 4 Movie Trailers (english, should be german) -> movie menu.

Some screens:

Hi!

I have found exactly the same problem again on a different disc, also a Disney one. National Treasure 2.

This time tested with newest version 0.18.7. Keep all languages (audio + subs).

Interesting: The same trailer on right click in PowerDVD->Audio
- before the main movie: Only shows "German" as Language, English Audio is played
- when chosen the trailer from popup menu later: English, German and other lanuages to choose, and german is played

For my three that skipped on the PS3s, it was all on th Fast setting and all BD-9s..

I can try the encode quality 6 tonite on one of those that did skip. Will let you know the result, probably tommorrow morning snce I am currently half way thru re-doing XFiles at the moment.

With 18.7, The ones that skip appear to skip on any quality setting. I ran Pride & Glory (Movie Only) at every possible setting for quality and both BD-9 and BD-5 discs, and got the skipping. I copied the whole movie to a BD-25 disc with ImgBurn and it played perfectly. (Its a 22gb original disc).

[mcalistor]

I'm not sure how that could happen. Most HD is 1:1 ratio -- and the SAR for other item settings (extras) haven't changed at all. Is it possible you may have changed settings on your player?

Yeah, I don't think it's your software either. I did re-check the BD player and TV, and everything looks good, works fine on everything else that I've "rebuilded". There's nothing specific in the BD folder/file structure that addresses aspect ratio, is there? Maybe the source is corrupt. tsMuxeR reports source is 1920:816p, Profile 4.1.

I've got a couple more "rebuilds" to burn tonight (one for sure, the other may take until tomorrow to finish), both with unmodified output sizes (BD9). I'll let you know how they turn out.

[jdobbs]

Anyone else? Is everyone experiencing skipping on a PS3 since the 0.18 update -- or only a few?

The reason I asked for the ENCODE_QUALITY=6 setting is because that would enable exactly the same X264 settings as were in use for v0.17.13.

[laserfan]

The only decoder I found which did never fail on VC-1 mixed progressive/interlaced material was neuron2's DGVC1DecNV....IIRC there has been a post stating that the SONIC decoder might also work.I didn't believe this when I read it, but sure enough when I tried libavcodec and WMVDecode DMO they failed, and I couldn't get Sonic HD Decoder to open it.

Then I demuxed the raw vc1 track and libavcodec still failed on it, but Sonic worked, at least for display--but I still couldn't make a graph that would work with Avisynth as input to x264... :confused:

I'll run Pride and Glory through again with the ENCODE_QUALITY=6 setting. I should be a good test, since I know for certain there isn't a problem with the original decrypted output from AnyDVD. I'll be using the most recent version 18.7.

I got skipping on Encode_Quality=6 doing BD-9 & BD-5.

[jdobbs]

Then I'm at a loss as to what is causing it if it is within BD-RB. It is using exactly the same encoding and muxing parameters as was used in previous versions. I did update the X264.EXE release with that version also. You may want to try the newer version of BD-RB with the X264.EXE from v0.17.13 just to see if that might be the issue.

Could you please send me the LASTCMD.TXT, INF and INI files used for the encoding? Send to dvd-rb@dvd-rb.com

[klas]

I noticed that when the source is a Bluray remux (only movie) not fullBluRay is not possible to resume the second pass. Although not change anything Only press backup and abort. After several hours it is sad to see that all work is not productive. It is possible to manually make a resume?

Movie Only / BD5 and BD9 disc (not AVCHD)
Jdobbs: Do you think it is the same issue I'm having with my denon player? It was working with v0.17.3 and not working with v0.18. The other difference I did was that I selected "good" as encoder setting in v0.18. Anything I can try or send you?

Unfortunately you are typically encoding the entire movie for a "movie-only" encode. So the only point at which you could resume is between the first and second passes.

I may add an option in which the chapters are encoded individually. That way you could exit/resume at shorter intervals.

The other option is to set the encode so that it is using IDLE PRIORITY under the ENCODER SETTINGS menu and then select MINIMIZE TO TRAY under the FILE menu. That way you can let it run while using your computer and it will only use unused processor time -- letting other applications have priority. But when you aren't using your computer for something else, it will run at a speed comparible to what you'd get get with a higher priority. That's how I usually run mine.

The other difference I did was that I selected "good" as encoder setting in v0.18. Anything I can try or send you? Possibly. If you are setting ENCODE_QUALITY=6 then "GOOD" can't be selected also (the checkbox should be off on all selections in the encoder speed area of the menu). I'm starting to wonder if it might be the updated version of X264 that is at fault -- mainly because that is the only thing that changed if someone is using ENCODE_QUALITY=6.

Make sure you stop/restart BD-RB after setting ENCODE_QUALITY=6. It only gets read when booting or resetting from the menu (but "6" isn't a visible option).

I'd really appreciate it if one of the PS3 users tried an encode with the older version of X264.

Its not posible resume between the first and the second. That ist the real probleme. Finish the firts pass and begin the second(50 % of second) . I press abort and backup inmediatly and no resume


.

Thank you for this

Imposible, the terrible noise of the computer in the room its the probleme.

[jdobbs]

Unfortunately there is no option (I know of) within X264 to let you exit and resume an encode -- so resuming at the begining of the last attempted pass in the only way I can do it.

[DarWun]

I'd really appreciate it if one of the PS3 users tried an encode with the older version of X264.

I have had problems with Movie Only encodes to BD9 skipping on the PS3 since switching to v0.18.7. The first movie I tried after upgrading to v0.18.7 was Max Payne. After several unsuccessful attempts, I went back and tried a movie that I had previously backed up successfully using v0.17.3. With v0.18.7 the final encode skipped. Reverting back to v0.17.3 resulted in a final encode that did not skip.

Long story short (kind of late for that), I am currently doing another Movie Only encode using v0.18.7 and the version of x264.exe that was in the v0.17.3 distribution package. I'll post my results after the encode finishes.

[Dark Shikari]

Imposible, the terrible noise of the computer in the room its the probleme.Your computer has a "hibernate" button. If you need to pause the encode, use that instead of shutting it down.

I'll post my results after the encode finishes. Much appreciated. Are there multiple parts (more than one video listing in the streams window) in this movie-only encode? The reason I ask is that I just remembered that in that version I also use TSMUXER to combine the sections, where in previous versions I used AVISYNTH (with the numerous CODEC instances that could cause memory crashes). Does the "skip" seem to occur at the same points as the splits (the individual M2TS files in the working directory)? I don't see it on my player -- but maybe the PS3 is sensitive in some way.

[jdobbs]

Also, just to be clear, when we say there is "skipping" on the PS3 -- what does that mean? A huge jump? What appears to be a single missing frame? Audio glitch?

Thanks.

[Dark Shikari]

With all due respect, that makes just about zero sense. The only reason you would need to pause encoding is because you have a higher priority task to accomplish... hibernating the system just makes the entire PC unuseable. I know you work hard on your product, and are justifiably proud, but gimme a break... If it can't be paused, that's fine, but this kind of advise is really unhelpful to those people who need 8hs,10hrs, or even longer to complete a movie.I initially assumed that you merely wanted to be able to shut down the computer without terminating encoding (which makes sense). But now this is getting ridiculous... you do know that all modern operating systems, including Windows, let you pause any process? :rolleyes:

Do you really thing we should waste our time reimplementing something your computer already does? We surely could not possibly implement it as well as the native method, either.

(On the odd chance that you actually don't know, Ctrl-S will pause a program...)

(Maybe we should stop telling people this and instead lie and say that x264 has pause capability and that "Ctrl-S" is the key to activate it... ;) )

Because I already recommended using IDLE priority -- which is exactly what would be needed to give the other task the priority it needs. Then the follow-on post was "...the terrible noise of the computer in the room...".

How can you use your computer for a higher priority task and make it any quieter?

[GaPony]

This is an interesting question... its actually more of a video freeze than a skip. My results have shown the audio continues to play correctly, but the frames are freezing. Given that the method used for Blu-Rays is essentially supposed to reuse the unchanged portions of scene, from frame to frame, the scenes with little movement seem to freeze (skip) alot, where scenes with lots of action are less prone to it... and more like blocking (large scale pixelating in certain areas of the screen) at least that was my observation.

[jdobbs]

I'd be interested, then, to see how you do with the "6" setting. I'll go back to the X264 change list and see if there was any changes to the motion estimation algorithms between the two versions. Frankly, though, I have to suspect something else... or you'd think I'd see it on my standalone also.

It sounds more like a muxing, timing, or HRD issue.

I think alot of people might just be afraid to interfere with the process in even the slightest way... that's alot of time thrown away if it decides to "burp" when it starts back up. The pause button would be more emotional than mechanical. With a Q9560 I can still do pretty much whatever else I want without problems, but I trust the way a PC works more than many. :)

I tried off the rip, off the disc, from tsremux and tsremuxer. It will not go past the first phase

I trust the OS's pause routine more than one I write myself ;) I'm not sure how to pause a process in windows... I'll have to look it up.

Hi, ive tried encoding a couple of movies (Pulp Fiction and The Simpsons Movie)... Im amazed at the quality and speed on my quad core pc... ;-)

I use the best setting and the films have already been run through TSremuxR 1.8.8 as movie only as they are stored on USB hard drives. They play fine on the PC.

In Pulp Fiction (original codec h264) i get a type of macro blocking / break up a couple of times in the film. Ive done this encode twice and it happens different times in the film on each encode.

The Simpsons Movie (original codec MPEG2), the frames appear to slow down when something with more detail is about to happen and the sound disapears. The scenes where Homer dumps his waste sylo and the lake goes bubbly, the scene where the mob after him and the shot goes through the crowd, and the scene when the dome explodes.

I am currenty doing There Will Be Blood (original codec VC1)...

Much appreciated. Are there multiple parts (more than one video listing in the streams window) in this movie-only encode? The reason I ask is that I just remembered that in that version I also use TSMUXER to combine the sections, where in previous versions I used AVISYNTH (with the numerous CODEC instances that could cause memory crashes). Does the "skip" seem to occur at the same points as the splits (the individual M2TS files in the working directory)? I don't see it on my player -- but maybe the PS3 is sensitive in some way.
The movie that I was initially having problems with (Max Payne) has multiple parts. If my memory serves me correctly, the other movie I tried and had problems with (Ghost Town) does not. I'll have to check when I get home from work to make sure though.

By skipping I mean that the video will freeze for a fraction of a second, and then skip ahead to a point where it is in sync with the audio again. The audio plays without any glitches. I've only made it about two minutes into the movie, and the freezes happen every four or five seconds over that period.

This was posted as a work around on another forum. I haven't tried it yet, but maybe it will provide some insight to the problem.

Anyways, here's what I did that ended up fixing the problem:

- Opened up the *.AVS.264 file from the WORKFILES directory (created by BD-RB) in H264info
- checked the "Remove pulldown" checkbox
- ran H264info and created a new file, *_NoPulldown.AVS.264
- opened up TSMuxer GUI
- added the newly-created no-pulldown 264 file, and the *.AC3 file from the WORKFILES directory (created by BD-RB)
- selected the "Create Blu-ray Disc" option and ran it
- burned the resulting folders to a DVD+RW using ImgBurn with UDF 2.50

RE: Setting "ENCODE_QUALITY=6"

I got a failure in the multiplexing phase.
