BD-Rebuilder, Feature Requests

[jdobbs]

Hi,
It's possible to add an option (hidden or not) for change FRIMencode quality (7) for my poor config ?

Thank you very much.I suppose I could, but in my tests I couldn't see a difference in speed between the 6 and 7 settings -- so I decided 7 had no real purpose...

On the other hand, I can only test in SW mode -- so I can't say how it would work for a Quick-Play enabled system.

Thanks, in my case, I see 1 hour between the 6 and 7 settings.

My CPU is an AMD Athlon II X4 640 with 8gb RAM. Old config.

[emilio99]

Not really a feature request but I think it's the best topic.

Is there a way I can reencode 2 BluRay 3D discs into one?

The Hobbit Part 1 is on two discs and it would be really cool I could reencode both discs into one new (BD50).

[sparkyar]

Also, I guess a request, but maybe a hidden feature.
Is there a way to re-encode bonus features only and leave the movie untouched?

I know you can steal space from the extras, but sometimes stealing just from the extras is all you need/want.

Something like a MAX_M2TS_SIZE and MAX_PLAYLIST_MINS could do this.

I second this one.
something like a "MAX_M2TS_SIZE" could be very useful and save a lot of time and disk space

[Lathe]

Actually, I had not thought of this before; excellent idea mate! :)

I don't quite understand the 'Max M2ts size' mentioned above (probably just brain dead at the moment...) but, having an option JUST to re-encode the extras is a a great idea!

[jfcarbel]

Would love to see ability to pick specific streams to encode to alternate format like mp4 as I sometimes just want the bonus stuff to view offline on train ride.

Also can we get the windows to be resizable.

[jdobbs]

Would love to see ability to pick specific streams to encode to alternate format like mp4 as I sometimes just want the bonus stuff to view offline on train ride.

Also can we get the windows to be resizable.you can do that now. Just choose a different playlist from "alternate playlist".

[omegaman7]

Why do people keep asking for windows resize? If viewing from a distance is your issue, you can use the native windows magnifier. I don't know about windows 8, but 7 has it.

[RobertM]

Why do people keep asking for windows resize?

You misunderstand what people are asking for. It's not to magnify the content of the window, but to expand the workspace of the window, so that you can see a greater number of streams in a playlist, for instance.

[DoctorM]

You misunderstand what people are asking for. It's not to magnify the content of the window, but to expand the workspace of the window, so that you can see a greater number of streams in a playlist, for instance.

So we don't have to scroll so much? That's a great idea. +1

[omegaman7]

Having to scroll a bit hasn't bothered me much. I understand though. I think appearance is still on the back burner, and functionality is on the front burner ;) Though I wouldn't mind an invert of the current appearance. (Darker window) I have a sensitivity to light :S

[Snarko]

How about HEVC as *input*? Output would be mostly pointless at the moment, but input to convert to a regular ol' Blu-ray disc might not be *as* pointless. Right now, importing a file containing HEVC video stops the import process cold.

[omegaman7]

I'm curious about BD-XL technology. Would setting the custom size, for example 90,000MB, allow an appropriate burnable/playable output? For example, squeezing multiple HD movies onto one BD-XL, with custom menu.

I guess the real question (no need to answer this) is does TMT, PowerDVD, or comparable support these formats. In theory, the size may not be relevant. But, I didn't code all the softwares and devices LOL!

CyberLink PowerDVD 13 Ultra does display a BD-XL logo at start-up on my system. I would assume it does but I don't see it mentioned in the specs. If it does then I'd assume PowerDVD 14 does, as well. I have a Pioneer BDR-2209 drive. I still haven't gotten around to even buying some BD-XL discs, however.

[HWK]

I think all software players should play it, as long they are getting valid input I don't see reason why they won't. It is drive which will make difference over here.

One easy way to test if player support it is to author multiple disc close to 100GB and create iso of them and in return try to play iso file and see how it goes.

Lg drive I have can write 128 GB on 4 layers or 100GB on 3 layers.

I may just experiment :) I can think of a few candidates worthy of a BD-XL.

[jdobbs]

As of this movement it is listed for 29.00.I ordered this one (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Bluray-Triple-Blueray-Printable/dp/B00G5RVTNY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406414349&sr=8-2&keywords=BD-RE+XL) earlier today. I did it before I noticed there are some exceptions listed... not sure what that's all about. Hopefully it won't be an issue with my drive. It's interesting that BD-RE XL's are cheaper than BD-R XLs.

Darn, Can you share your experience once you get it. This way I can order some as well.

You get to be tester :p

[jdobbs]

[HWK]

I just noticed the delivery time is about 30-45 days. I'm going to cancel that order if possible.

Yikes, that is longest I have ever seen. Mine take 5-10 business day to ship from USA to Canada for same item.

Are you sure you didn't choose provider in Japan?

To me it is sold by
Centrix International Corporation

To me it is sold by
Centrix International CorporationYes, the provider is in Japan. In fact the name is "Buy in Japan"... so that means two weeks is reasonable. But 30 to 45 days... I don't think so.

[HWK]

So did you cancel the order or what you did with it?

[jdobbs]

So did you cancel the order or what you did with it?I filled out the message on Amazon and sent it... I haven't gotten a response yet.

[Edit] I just got an e-mail in which they are saying it won't take that long and usually arrives in a couple weeks. They then asked if I want to cancel anyway. I told them to cancel. I'm impatient when it comes to orders -- that's why I sprung for Amazon Prime.

[Edit] They cancelled it. I'm going to order the one you referenced.

Hi jdobbs. I'd love to see three enhancements made to the "Quick-Play" feature of BD Rebuilder. Have outlined each enhancement request below.

1. MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR
Presently the only color options are "YELLOW", "BLUE", "GREEN", "RED", "PURPLE" and "WHITE". I would love to be able to use any color for the active menu text by simply entering the hex code for a given color instead as the present color choices will not always complement the custom menu background one might be using.

In my case I'll be using BD Rebuilder exclusively for re-authoring all of the TV shows that I own on Blu-ray taking advantage of the "Quick-Play" feature for episode selection in addition to checking out any of the extras. Using Photoshop I'm creating a custom menu background, graphical text being used to call out the particular season of the show at the top above the episode selection area, and then at the bottom within the episode selection area graphical text calling out the title of the TV show. Naturally it would be awesome with BD Rebuilder to be able to go with any color of my choosing for the active menu text as to complement the graphical text within the menu background I've worked up. Example provided below of "Hannibal: Season 1 (Disc 3)" as seen from both my short throw front projector and 120" portable screen and from TotalMedia Theatre 3 Platinum which I have running on an old Windows XP box solely for being able to take screen captures of the actual Blu-ray menus. The stock color "RED" in this case for the active menu text worked great. Several of the other menu backgrounds I've worked up so far have only worked well with "WHITE" though, the other color choices looking too out of place.

(Should note as well that the first example pic below was taken with my aging iPhone 4, so pardon the poor quality of the pic. Seen firsthand the picture is quite vibrant, the menu text being well defined, the white of the text not bleeding at all as it appears to be in the pic. The second example pic below, a screen capture taken from TMT3 isn't the best quality either, but it does provide a better look at what the actual "Quick-Play" menu looks like.)

Wanted to also mention per the above example (and this isn't an enhancement request) that I'm using the Import/Quick-Play Settings option "Play items sequentially (Don't return to MENU at item's end)" as when selecting a given TV episode I prefer it to start playing the next one automatically without taking me back to the Top Menu. After playing the last TV episode however (not the last actual menu item), I do want it to take me back to the Top Menu per selectively choosing to watch a given bonus feature if I want. As such, prior to burning to BD-R I just load the BDMV folder up in BDedit and update the "Jump Title" value for the last TV episode and each bonus feature to "0" which results in being taken back to the Top Menu each time, the TV episodes in this case being the only items that play sequentially back to back.
____________

Some additional menu background examples I worked up recently shown below. Click on the given image to download the full 1920x1080 background if you like. Will note as well that for me images when viewed in Google Chrome, including the ones below appear very dark with the contrast being blown out. From what I gather it's an issue relating to color profiles. Have yet to sort it out. Using Mozilla Firefox (with color management disabled via an add-on) or Internet Explorer the images look as I would expect them to.

2. "Quick-Play" navigation.
When the last menu item is highlighted I'd like to be able to menu down at that point having it wrap back around to the top menu item. Presently it doesn't wrap around. You have to menu up one at a time to get back to the top again.

3. Import/Quick-Play Settings option "Attempt to find original background for BD import/Quick-Play".
I'd love to use the Import/Quick-Play Settings option "Attempt to find original background for BD import/Quick-Play" with several of my titles rather than going with a custom menu background as when testing it utilizes the menu video background from the original disc which is way cool. The only problem is the video doesn't repeat "x" number of times like the original disc does (usually set to play repeatedly several hundred times as seen within BDedit when checking out the retail version of a given disc), so once the video plays once which often fades to black at the end you are then looking at the menu selection items from that point forward against a stark black screen.

@Lowpro

1. Most people don't understand the concept of RGB or hexadecimal, and forcing them to create a HEX value would make it too complex. What I will do instead is add another color called "custom". Then you will be able to add another hidden option called MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR that will accept hex values.

I thought I had it set to go to the menu after the last item (when using sequential playback). I'll take a look at it.

2. I can do that.

3. I was planning to do that at some point, and just kinda' parked it somewhere. I'll look at it again.

Thanks for the reply and even considering these enhancements. Great idea as well per adding another color called "CUSTOM" which in turn would look for a new hidden option called, "MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR" designed to accept a hex color value. I like it! Count me in for a donation if said enhancement is implemented. (Not a bribe mind you. :-P Just something to wet your whistle.) Also, you do have things set to go to the menu after the last item (when using sequential playback), the top item in the menu at that point being highlighted. I had just mentioned BDedit for those that might not think to use it if they'd like to "selectively" decide which items play sequentially after running things through BD Rebuilder.

As far as re-authoring goes, I use BD Clown exclusively for creating movie-only copies of my retail Blu-ray's which I then burn to BD-R/DL for use with my Sony Blu-ray changers, the retail version of each disc serving as my backup copy. BD50's are not that expensive for me, so I don't sweat it if a given title won't fit on a BD25 short of re-encoding. As such, BD Clown continues to serve my purposes just fine. That being said, I haven't been re-authoring my TV Shows on Blu-ray as I wanted to include a simple Top Menu for episode selection paired with a custom menu background where at the very least I could control the naming and order of the various items in addition to which items I wanted to include, color of the active menu text used and whether said items play sequentially or not. I've used multiAVCHD for a couple of my TV shows on Blu-ray, but haven't been terribly pleased with the results. Aside from the program itself being quite cumbersome to use, the menu navigation from one item to another is painfully slow (...more so when playing the given title from my Sony Blu-ray changers versus my HTPC) due to the entire menu screen needing to update when changing selections. When selecting an item I also miss the first few seconds of the given episode due to sluggishness I guess which is annoying. I have to restart the chapter at that point in order to start the given episode cleanly. Your BD Rebuilder program and "Quick-Play" feature on the other hand don't present any of those issues while at the same time meeting all the criteria I am looking for, BDedit rounding things out for me prior to burning to BD-R per selectively having only certain items play sequentially. In any event, thanks again for the reply and consideration per my enhancement requests. Have an awesome day!

It'd be great if the resume function could also 'remember' the CRF prediction step. Currently, it's repeated even if previously completed.

A question: does resume also work in Batch mode? Thanks.

As of this movement it is listed for 29.00.I got one of these. It seems to work well -- although I had to do a reformat with IMGBURN in order to get the 2x burn times (it was maxing out at .8x or so as delivered. Interestingly it appears to hold more now as well.

[Weirdo]

Another request: show progress percentage when hovering on the minimized tray icon. Currently, it only shows it when minimized in the taskbar.

[Ch3vr0n]

I've got a simple request that probably isn't that hard to do. since doing 3D discs requires w7 i have to do them on my dualboot OS. However my main OS is vista. doing a 3D rebuild on my non-quicksync system takes considerable time. I was wondering if it would be possible to add a (hidden) option to have bdrb REBOOT the system instead of shutting down. There's already once to put it to sleep but not for a reboot. That way after i'm done encoding the 3D build overnight on w7, when the job is complete i'll wake up to a reboot into my main os Vista (which is the default os to boot). Should hopefully not be that hard to do.

Hi, is it feasible to add some basic editing to Quick Play menu? Up to now, menu items can be edited and moved, possibility to change font color, size and style would be a great addition.

[jdobbs]

Hi, is it feasible to add some basic editing to Quick Play menu? Up to now, menu items can be edited and moved, possibility to change font color, size and style would be a great addition.The size can't be edited, because it is set by the number of entries. But it should be possible to add a style change. The color can already be changed with the hidden option (see HIDDENOPTS.TXT):

MENU_ACTIVE_COLOR=

In the next release you will also have:

MENU_CUSTOM_COLOR=

You can also set the top of the menu (in the screen space) with:

MENU_TOP=

I'll probably add some more customization in future releases.

[m.rup]

Hi jdobbs, thanks for your kind reply. Sorry that I wasn't aware that there are already some of my desired features implemented. I will try it immediately.

[had-z]

Hi Jdobbs, has been passed about a year since the last time i used Bdrebuilder, i miss a feature to directly add aditional audio or subtitle in bdrebuilder, actually before the encode to bd25 i had to process the title in tsmuxer (replace the m2ts, clipinfo, and edit the mpls), specially in a series blu-ray would be awesome if all that stuff can be done directly in Bdrebuilder with a right click in the selected track.

Best regards.

[slvrsrfr]

Jdobbs,

I have a portable copy of Imgburn v 2.5.8, but BDRB can't find it b/c there aren't any registry settings for Imgburn and i suspect that it is why. I couldn't find how to specify the path for it for BDRB, so could you please add that as a hidden option?

I hop around between computers, so i have all of the BDRB-related apps on an external usb drive.

THANKS for continuing to improve an already brilliant app!

[Ch3vr0n]

all bd related aps? Doubt it. last time i checked ffdshow, matroska arent portable

[slvrsrfr]

you seriously don't have anything better to do than troll?

i don't believe indicated ffdshow as being portable.

[Ch3vr0n]

I wasn't trolling, you said you had everything on the USB stick, do my question is since you still have to install ffdshow, matroska, what's 1 more app like IMGBurn. That's my point, that's all.

It would be really needed as an option in BD-RB to force inversing hard telecining at the M2TS level.

Thank you very much for this useful function.
It would be really appreciated.

It would be really appreciated.From HIDDENOPTS.TXT:IVTC_SELECTION=n n = 0/1 - Default=0, 1=Enables IVTC on dropdown menu, normally for hard telecined sourcesAdd IVTC_SELECTION=1 to your INI, and then right-click on the M2TS in the streams list. You can select IVTC as an option from there.

From HIDDENOPTS.TXT:Add IVTC_SELECTION=1 to your INI, and then right-click on the M2TS in the streams list. You can select IVTC as an option from there.

I have tested this option in June with version 47.05 or 47.06 on my hard telecined 480i sources, and it seemed (after checking the avs files in the working folder and the resulted files in dgavcdec) not to have been working with them. The sources were processed by BD-RB as they had been interlaced, remained with 29.97 fps after making IVTC selectively on them by using IVTC_SELECTION=1. I will be back with my test files soon.

Edit: please find attached the test files (using a 480i hard telecined source) I got after using IVTC_SELECTION=1 in my INI, and right-clicking on the M2TS in the streams list to select IVTC.

I think the function does not work as it should currently, but maybe, I made a mistake somewhere in the process. :(

Your help would be really appreciated.

Please test this function both with 480i and 1080i.
I have got different results using different resolution sources to be IVTC'd selectively by using this switch.

I would really love to see this function in the next release. :o

P.S. In the past, I used option IVTC_480i=1 instead to get around the problem somewhat. But it was a little bit more time consuming method.

Thank you very much.

Please test this function both with 480i and 1080i.

But it was a little bit more time consuming method.The iVTC_480i switch only works with 480i sources... it's what I always use for an imported DVD with hard telecining. I really don't see how it is time consuming.

Sorry for the misunderstanding (maybe the reason is my "English"). I meant test both with 1080i and with 480i hard telecined sources the following: firstly use hiddenopt IVTC_SELECTION=1, then selectively use "Inverse telecine this item" on the corresponding (hard telecined) m2ts files in the stream list. I have got different results for the 1080i and 480i sources. IVTC was used for 1080i (but I had got an CreateBDFiles() 00063 2004 error message during recompilation of the streams) source, but not at all for the 480i ones (according to the avs files in the working folder and recheck with dgavcdec).

IVTC_480i was time consuming because I have a lot of BD-s including 1080p (the main feature), 480i interlaced (extras), 480i soft telecined (extras), 480i hard telecined (extras) sources. In these specific cases I could not use IVTC_480i=1, because I do not want to "ruin" all of my interlaced 480i sources. Firstly, I needed to reencode them with IVTC_480i=0, then, after starting a new encoding process (of the original disc), in edit mode I blanked all the m2ts files except the ones which were hard telecined 480i after switching to IVTC_480i=1. After the process I overwrote the files from the first encode with the ones from the second encode.

It seems much more time consuming than having a switch to force inversing hard telecining at the M2TS level.
In this case I could have done the whole process in only 1 step.

So, it would be really great to have this feature....:D
