I hadn't considered any of those braking before after processing
Shouldn't that be breaking >> before or after

Apologies AmigaFuture but it bugs Lathe and his rabbit ears

Honestly, some extras rely on other extras. Which is why when you blank some - all of them are. I don't know all the details about it, but it fits with logic of how some BDs are made. The authoring process.

It sometimes (not alwas, depends on disc) happens when I blank annoying warnings and stuff. In case of Disney footage, sometimes even the introductory castle is concerned.

I assume that it should be possible to isolate the specific item to be blanked, because when I preview the same with MPC, I don't get all the stuff displayed.

Some problematic discs (all region B): Vaiana, Fantastic Four Silver Surfer, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Incredibles 2, just to give some examples.

Hello,

Would it be possible to upgrade FRIM from 1.25 to 1.30 and include hardware (HW) acceleration if compatible hardware is available in the system?
Why I am asking is I did some testing and noticed that 1.30 can now finally use HW acceleration without any issues. (iGPU used Intel UHD 630).

Speed comparison for BD50 3D to BD25 3D:
FRIM 1.25 ca. 25 frames per second (Software De- and Encode) (Hardware decode causes an error)
FRIM 1.30 ca. 166 frames per second (Hardware De- and Encode)

Thank you.

[Ch3vr0n]

Hw acceleration is already available through the hidden options switches, but yes the current version results in severe artifacts if used.

Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using TapatalkCan you two clarify something for me...

@Ch3vr0n , you mention artifacts with the "current version" is that FRIM 1.25? Or 1.30 that tectpro is asking about? The EXE's in my BD-RB folder are v 1.25 from 2015, so pretty old.

And I assume you mean FRIM_SW_DECODE=n and FRIM_SW_ENCODE=n where N=1 means use software, N=0 Auto detect...

@tectpro , How did you test the FPS? Did you just overlay the newer FRIM exec's and toggle on BD-RB's hidden options? Did you play back the resulting files? Were there any video artifacts, or abnormalities?

[Ch3vr0n]

Sorry for the delay. That's with the default bdrb included frim. I'll have to run a test using those updated versions

[Lowpro]

I'd like to see a few small changes to the Quick-Play feature.

The first thing I'd like to see is the character limit increased when naming a menu item. (Well, unless it's a limitation.) There's plenty of horizontal screen real estate to allow for this. I'm frequently having to shorten the naming of TV episode titles due to this limitation.
__________________________

The second thing I'd like to see is a change to the button navigation with respects to the "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons. A couple Quick-Play examples provided below.

(I recently purchased the below on Blu-ray, the content being packaged on 4 BD25's. Using BD Rebuilder I dropped the content on 2 BD50's instead.)

DISC 1, PAGE 1:

DISC 1, PAGE 2:
http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/scooby/bd_scobby_tcs_02_thumb.jpg (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/scooby/bd_scobby_tcs_02.jpg)

DISC 2, PAGE 1:

DISC 2, PAGE 2:
http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/scooby/bd_scobby_tcs_04_thumb.jpg (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/scooby/bd_scobby_tcs_04.jpg)

DISC 2, PAGE 3:
http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/scooby/bd_scobby_tcs_05_thumb.jpg (http://www.lowpro.net/blu-ray.com/scooby/bd_scobby_tcs_05.jpg)

When navigating down from last menu item on a given page the "PREV" button is highlighted. I'm then having to navigate to the right to highlight and select the "NEXT" button. When navigating up from the first menu item on a given page the "NEXT" button is highlighted. I'm then having to navigate to the left to highlight and select the "PREV" button. This implementation is counterintuitive. One would expect the opposite. When navigating down from the last menu item the "NEXT" button should be highlighted. When navigating up from the first menu item the "PREV" button should be highlighted.

(If it's possible using BDedit to implement this change myself I'd love to know how.)

Also, notice how the spacing between the last menu item and the "Page x", "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons is inconsistent from page to page. In many cases the "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons really start to crowd the last menu item and in some cases even overlap the last menu item to a small degree. You can't tell from the screenshots, but on "Disc 1, Page 1" and "Disc 2, Page 1" the last menu item and "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons are actually overlapping a little bit. When selecting "PREV" it cuts off the bottom part of the "(" within the last menu item and when selecting "NEXT" it cuts off the bottom part of the ")" within the last menu item. What I'd like to see is consistent spacing from page to page, the "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons not crowding the last menu item. Ideally I'd like to see the same spacing from the last menu item to the "Page x", "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons as you see from menu item to menu item, "Disc 2, Page 3" above being a good example.
__________________________

And one "wish upon a star" item if I may which is not to be confused with the below option.

MENU_HORIZONTAL=n n = 0-1919 - Offset from left of 1080p screen for QP menu item selection area (16 items/page max)

I use the above option quite a bit as you can see from the Quick-Play examples provided above. When not used of course the Quick-Play menu item selection area is centered on the page. What I'd like to see is an option used in conjunction with "MENU_HORIZONTAL" that results in the menu item selection area being centered within the remaining page area. Something like the below perhaps.

MENU_HORIZONTAL_CENTER=1 n = 0/1 - 0=OFF (default) - Used in conjunction with "MENU_HORIZONTAL", if set to "1", the QP menu item selection area is centered within the available remaining screen area.

The "MENU_HORIZONTAL" option in this scenario would be acting as an offset, i.e. MENU_HORIZONTAL=907 and MENU_HORIZONTAL_CENTER=1 would result in the QP menu item selection area being centered between 907 and 1919.

[Lowpro]

The second thing I'd like to see is a change to the button navigation with respects to the "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons. When navigating down from last menu item on a given page the "PREV" button is highlighted. I'm then having to navigate to the right to highlight and select the "NEXT" button. When navigating up from the first menu item on a given page the "NEXT" button is highlighted. I'm then having to navigate to the left to highlight and select the "PREV" button. This implementation is counterintuitive. One would expect the opposite. When navigating down from the last menu item the "NEXT" button should be highlighted. When navigating up from the first menu item the "PREV" button should be highlighted. (If it's possible using BDedit to implement this change myself I'd love to know how.)
He shoots, he scores! I figured out how to implement the change described above using BDedit v0.39b today. Takes just a quick minute to do. Couldn't be simpler. Pretty sweet being able to update this myself as I far prefer the "NEXT" button being what's highlighted when navigating down from the last menu item and the "PREV" button being what's highlighted when navigating up from the first menu item, especially in cases where the Blu-ray menus exceed 2 pages.
__________________________

Well, the fun didn't stop there. I decided to enhance the menu item and page navigation behaviour even further. Prior when selecting the "PREV" button the first menu item on the previous page was being highlighted. I changed it so the last menu item on the previous page is what's highlighted. I then decided to take the "PREV" and "NEXT" buttons out of the loop completely when navigating up and down. (Well, for menu pages with only one row of menu items.) I set the last menu item to wrap around to the first menu item and vice versa just as if it were a single page menu. I then set each menu item to go to "PREV" when navigating left and "NEXT" when navigating right. Too much fun! Took a video as I was testing the end result. For those so inclined, click here (https://youtu.be/Jf3xPljv39w).

And I've since created a tutorial showing how this is done in BDedit. For those so inclined, click here (https://rumble.com/vt2bic-bdedit-tutorial-modifying-menu-button-and-page-navigation-behavior..html) ;)

[musiclover]

(If it's possible using BDedit to implement this change myself I'd love to know how.)

Are you gonna tell us how you did it?

[Lowpro]

Are you gonna tell us how you did it?Sure, I'll be happy to. I'll work up a little something and chime back in.

[Lowpro]

Hi musiclover. I created a quick video of how this was done. See here (https://rumble.com/vt2bic-bdedit-tutorial-modifying-menu-button-and-page-navigation-behavior..html") and enjoy!

[musiclover]

Thank you Lowpro. That is an excellent tutorial.

[Lowpro]

I have another "Quick-Play" feature request I thought I'd suggest. It could be added as a hidden option for use with the BDREBUILDER.INI file. Details on said feature request provided below.

Currently only one "Menu Background Picture" is supported for a given Blu-ray menu. I'd love to see a hidden option added, so one could designate a unique menu background per page. Something like the below.

MENU_BACKGROUND=D:\BD_Rebuilder\Resources\ncis_s06_p1.png (Current option.)
MENU_BACKGROUND_PAGE_2=D:\BD_Rebuilder\Resources\ncis_s06_p2.png (Feature request.)

In the above example the default menu background is used for Page 1, a different menu background being used for Page 2 and so forth. If the Blu-ray menu consisted of only one page or the given page didn't exist the "MENU_BACKGROUND_PAGE_x" line item(s) would be ignored where applicable.

That being said, I do employ a workaround for this currently. When creating a "Quick-Play" backup I just overwrite the menu background image after the menu background is encoded for Page 1, but before the menu background is encoded for Page 2.
- Creating Quick-Play Menu...
- Encoding menu background [1]...
- Building menu structure [1]...

(The moment the above log event is displayed I overwrite the menu background image with the one I want used for Page 2.)

- Encoding menu background [2]...
- Building menu structure [2]...
That being said, below are some examples of unique menu background images per page where I deployed the above workaround. My goal was for the "MENU_BACKDROP" to have the same width from page to page, irrespective of the normal rule which sets the width of the menu backdrop for a given page based on the longest title selection contained on that page.

To accomplish the below I set the "MENU_BACKDROP_OPACITY" to "0=Transparent", then adding my own menu backdrops to the actual menu background images instead, the last step being to overwrite the default menu background image (used for Page 1) with the one I wanted to use for Page 2 when the time came as described above.

In any event, see the examples below. They turned out great I think. I find the below a nice improvement over how I was working these up prior as everything to the right of the DVD cover image is centered up beautifully now from top to bottom and from page to page. Perfect symmetry. Gotta love it!

[jdobbs]

I can do that. I'll probably just make it automatic. So if you select a menu background it will use it... but if there is another file with, say, an extension of some type -- it will look for it. I've done this for other things. For example:

The background image is "BACKGROUND_IMAGE.JPG"

For the first page it would always use "BACKGROUND_IMAGE.JPG"
For pages 2-x (for example) it would look for another jpg, but if it is not there it defaults to the first page.

So for page 2 it would look for "BACKGROUND_IMAGE_2.JPG" and if it exists it would use it, if not, it would use "BACKGROUND_IMAGE.JPG"

I may play with the name a little to see what works best, but you get where I'm coming from.

Thanks for the reply. It's much appreciated and yes, I get where you're coming from. The implementation you described is very simple. Sounds great. And thanks again for this wonderful program. I'm a huge fan of the "Quick-Play" feature if you couldn't tell. It really is awesome. Expect another donation from me in the coming months. ;)

[Lowpro]

It would be awesome if BD Rebuilder offered a "Quick-Play" menu option specifically for the creation of "Double Feature" discs, i.e. a disc containing only 2 titles. The menu would contain two buttons, each button being 960x1080, the given button only being visible when selected. The first button would highlight the left side of the screen for selecting the first title. The second button would highlight the right side of the screen for selecting the second title. The menu background would be used to call out what each of the titles were. Example below, in this case two versions of the same film though this feature could be used for two completely different films naturally.

When neither title is selected:
http://www.lowpro.net/bdrb/quick_play/feature_request_double_feature_thumb.jpg (http://www.lowpro.net/bdrb/quick_play/feature_request_double_feature.jpg)

When the first title is selected:
http://www.lowpro.net/bdrb/quick_play/feature_request_title_01_thumb.jpg (http://www.lowpro.net/bdrb/quick_play/feature_request_title_01.jpg)

When the second title is selected:
http://www.lowpro.net/bdrb/quick_play/feature_request_title_02_thumb.jpg (http://www.lowpro.net/bdrb/quick_play/feature_request_title_02.jpg)

As far as the implementation, I could see there being a setting for the INI file per enabling the "Double Feature" QP menu option. When enabled, the normal QP functionality would not apply. There would also be settings for determining the color and opacity of the buttons, i.e. the highlight. In any event, I've had this on my wishlist for quite a while now. Thought it was a pretty cool idea, so I thought I'd share. I own a few retail "Double Feature" Blu-ray's that have menus similar to this. Could see this becoming a very popular feature.

[ggtop]

Hi jdobbs,

is it please possible to add Hotkeys for context menu entries "Preview this item" and "Blank this item" when in edit mode?

Today I wanted to use this great feature and was tired from clicking :-)

In the meantime I figured out that there is a Setting called "BLANK_THRESHOLD" which I hadn't in my config. Will try that next.

Thanks and Keep healthy,
ggtop

[musiclover]

I may play with the name a little to see what works best, but you get where I'm coming from.

Is this feature implemented already?

[LowDead]

https://github.com/domyd/mlp

Would that be something that is useful to BD-RB once it irons out some bugs?

[tebasuna51]

If you want test mlp.exe use the version here: https://github.com/domyd/mlp/actions/runs/120022192

And you can select the stream to extract, now the official release only extract the first thd stream.

[Mark_Venture]

Is it possible for Movie Only backups that BD-Rebuilder can add the Source info into the INF? Currently it only shows the disc volume label.

Like for example.. the Entry in the BD-RB log shows....
Source: FINDING_DORY_00800 can that be added to the INF?

In the case of Spies, I didn't realize there were two versions of the film, and that BD-RB picked the "super secret" version of the film when making the MKV. We didn't find out until we went to watch the movie for the first time (using the MKV via Plex). I had to then go back and re-encode it.

I've had this happen on other movies too that have multiple play lists.

Having the "SPIES_IN_DISGUISE_00857" also included in the INF, would help when going back to know which play list was selected before, so that I know which one to NOT pick when doing it again.

I'm probably going to do a bad job explaining this. Sorry.

Let me try with Spies In Disguise as the example...

BD-RB Log...

I see what you are saying. You want the PLAYLIST used recorded as well. The only complicating factor is that the INF would also exist for a full backup -- which isn't a specific playlist. I guess I could look at adding an entry to the [Status] area that might say MOVIE_ONLY_PLAYLIST=00857 (or something like that) when the output is movie-only.

That would be cool, IF you can add it.

I know there are other things you're working on... and this would be a "nice to have" not necessity.

Thank you

[jdobbs]

I can do that. I'll probably just make it automatic. So if you select a menu background it will use it... but if there is another file with, say, an extension of some type -- it will look for it. I've done this for other things. For example:

The background image is "BACKGROUND_IMAGE.JPG"

For the first page it would always use "BACKGROUND_IMAGE.JPG"
For pages 2-x (for example) it would look for another jpg, but if it is not there it defaults to the first page.

So for page 2 it would look for "BACKGROUND_IMAGE_2.JPG" and if it exists it would use it, if not, it would use "BACKGROUND_IMAGE.JPG"

I may play with the name a little to see what works best, but you get where I'm coming from.Is this feature implemented already?I've implemented this feature for the next release. It works just like I mentioned above.

Sorry it took so long. I meant to do it a while back... but I just forgot about it.

Had an idea and just wanted to throw it out there. I haven't searched the thread so if it has been suggested already please ignore.

On UHD disc where there's extras that are in AVC/h264. Would it be possible to have an option in the setup menu to convert these to HEVC with either x265 or NVEncC, depending on what encoder that have been selected?
For example on UHD of Waterworld where main movie is UHD version (135mins) and as extra there is the extended version (180mins) in 1080p AVC. I think there's some efficiency that can be made here with a switch to HEVC.

Thoughts, anyone?

[SquallMX]

Can you add a hidden option to remove the DolbyVision layer.

//LDI'll look at it. I'm already looking at adding a feature where a standard 1080p disc can be reencoded to H265 in the format of a UHD disc (1080p is also supported in the UHD standard).

[jdobbs]

Can you add a hidden option to remove the DolbyVision layer. I should be able to do that -- but let me take a look at it before I promise anything.

[AmigaFuture]

Hello. :) Are you willing to add a hidden option to enable MULTIPROCESS again? For now I'm using 0.61.13 only for processing MKVs made by BD-RB to rerender some of my collection to small files again to MKV. My current Ryzen 3600 is faster than my GeForce GTX 780 using the nVIDIA rerender you added. The MULTIPROCESS is still viable. :)

It won't apply to UHD sources or to NVENC encodes, however.

[Weirdo]

When using the FORCE_ENCODE=1 hidden option, the "You have selected x output for a source with a fairly significant content." prompt appears. If I am correct in believing it to be superfluous, perhaps it could be skipped/removed?

[AmigaFuture]

I'm very, very cool with Blu-ray. Or rather 1080P. Everything looks great, even pimples..which I didn't see with DVD - haha! I could understand why I might want to re-encode Phone videos (UHD), but...those are always smaller than BD and so on(, riiiight?).
Outside of BD, if someone wants MP...then much newer hardware is going to be required which is why you typed before that MULIPROCESS is becoming obsolete. Correct?

I'm curious.. If UHD Is Not the reason for MULTIPROCESS to become obsolete...what is? I can see UHD using the advantage of MP. Disregarding the need for storage. Which will become greater as M.2 NVMe becomes more widely accepted. Maybe I'm missing something..? I went M.2 with my Ryzen but it was several months after.

Anyway, Appreciation!!

Anyway, Appreciation!!I added the code to reenable MULTIPROCESS for the next release. It turned out to be a bit more involved than I'd initially hoped.

The reason it was disabled (in addition to my belief that it was no longer accomplishing anything) was because BD-RB started using the newer TSMUXER version as the default. There were changes in the file naming convention for multipart sources in the new TSMUXER.

[SquallMX]

Could you add using DGIndexNV as decoder when encoding UHD using x265?

[Weirdo]

An option to "extract all streams first"? This way, the source would soon not be required - helpful if it's an external device.

Also, it'd separate more clearly the extraction and encoding steps, and reveal possible source issues early in the process.

[musiclover]

Within NVENCC v0.10.7 (is this the latest version ??) it is possible to reencode the video and leave the audio intact. It would be nice to also have the ability to reencode the audio but keep the video intact.

Yes, just select intact audio

Just a reminder of my request

[Ian1182]

If you wish to retain intact video just set the output size larger than input. For example on a 50GB Bluray, set the "custom target size" to be 90000 in the setup option. That seems to work for me. That does of course mean all video streams are left untouched. Or is your request for a selectable video to be untouched but the remainder processed?

Read again please.... My request has nothing to do with BDRB. It is a request for NVENCCRE.
