BD-Rebuilder, Feature Requests

[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.

Another reminder of my request

[jdobbs]

Just a reminder of my requestNVENCCRE uses NVENCC.exe to do the encode. Unfortunately that program has no option for intact video (at least in the versions I've tried).

I'd suggest you use ffmpeg (that's what NVENCC uses) to do the audio reencoding and keeping the video intact.

Hi, the 3d of BD-RB simply doesn't work in (my) standalone and software blu-ray players, it'd be a real good feature to implement SSIF structure and something other than FRIM (with the help of frameserving to a third-party commercial mvc encoder, like the days of DoItFast4U and BatchCCEWS) . Re-authoring the whole 3d blu-ray disc in Scenarist-BD is very tedious.

The "Quick-Play" feature appears to always encode the menu background at 23.976 fps. I'd like a hidden option added which provides for determining the frame rate to be used, i.e. 24, 25 or 30 fps instead for example.

Much of the content I author to Blu-ray is 1080p/24, not 1080p/23.976. I recently authored a TV series to Blu-ray for example, the episodes being in 1080p/24. In this case I didn't use BD Rebuilder to create the menu backgrounds as they would have been in 1080p/23.976. This would have resulted in my home theater receiver and display having to sync to the different frame rate every time the Blu-ray went back and forth between the Top Menu (23.976 fps) and given episode (24 fps). The signal is completely lost for a second or two as my equipment syncs to the new frame rate being used. The first couple seconds of audio and video have already elapsed as a result prior to the home theater receiver and display catching up to the Blu-ray player. It's quite disruptive and not at all the experience one would desire, especially if you're the one that took the time to author the content to Blu-ray. So in this case I encoded the menu backgrounds outside of BD Rebuilder instead, the resulting video being in 1080p/24, the transition from the Top Menu (24 fps) to given episode (24 fps) being seamless as my equipment isn't having to sync to a different frame rate. In any event, just thought I'd provide some background as to why I've suggested this BD Rebuilder feature enhancement. I can certainly continue working outside of BD Rebuilder when I need a menu background at 1080p/24. It sure would be sweet though if it were possible using BD Rebuilder instead.

Probably something already asked (perhaps even by me, years ago) - sorry if that's case. I did search.

Along with "Blank this item", it'd be really helpful having a "pass-through this item" option i.e. include it in the final output as-is, with no re-encoding. Would mostly help with lower quality videos (bonus material in most cases, of course) that are best left untouched, or just favourite items.

I guess this could only apply to video, since audio options are already quite flexible in the Setup Dialog, and audio re-encoding is way less noticeable anyway.

I can see this working for audio as well

Please consider implementing support for VCEEncC (AMD GPU hardware encoders) like those implemented for NVENC (Nvidia GPU hardware encoders).

Thank you

With DGDecNV 252 now going 64-bit only that leaves BD-Rebuilder users being left using the 251 release. Is there any chance that we might see a 64-bit release of BD-Rebuilder? It'd be a shame to miss out on improved performance.


* Increased frame serving performance by about 33% (measured for UHD content).
* Added a temporal mode to DGDenoise().
* Added integrated versions of DGDenoise(), DGHDRtoSDR(), and DGSharpen(). These
integrated versions adhere to the CUDASynth philosophy of not copying back to the
GPU in-between filters, so filter chains defined on the DGSource() invocation run
on the GPU and transfer the final result back to the CPU at the end of the chain.
This can significantly improve performance for large frame sizes due to reduction
of load on the PCIe bus. Additional filters will be added in future versions.
* The syntax for opening a media file directly with DGSource(), rather than a DGI file, now
allows for either not demuxing all streams or demuxing all streams.
* An AVX2 version of DGDecodeNV.dll is included for slightly better performance on machines that
support AVX2.
* The DGDecodeNV user manual was brought fully up-to-date. Refer to it for explanations
of all the changes mentioned above.
* 32-bit support was dropped. If you must have it, build 251 is the recourse for you.

It appears it has been a long time since a new release, but I figured it's worth a shot. Could we get a force HEVC/x265 option for Blu-ray output? The quality per bitrate gains for 1080p sources is impressive. I've been making BD-5's out of Alternate HEVC with intact audio, but have to start a quick x264/standard encode to calculate bitrate, then abort, enter the value in alternate, then run tsmuxer on the resulting mkv for. Would be nice to have that process automated. Using AVCHD folder and burning without Certificate, the disc plays in my Magnavox player, so I'd imagine it would in higher end models. I'm pretty sure standard BD-25/50 x265 works in all players, so the option shouldn't cause issues.

UHD_CONVERT_ENABLE=1

This will make an option available under the SETTINGS/OUTPUT OPTIONS menu called "Convert BD to UHD-BD (HEVC) Format"

If I understand your request correctly, that should do what you are asking.

Thank You! Looks like that's exactly what I needed.

Was wondering if you could allow SD to 1080 and 720 to 1080 to be followed up with 1920x1080 to 1440x1080 if both options are checked.

[iambryanknowles]

Maybe I'm not seeing it, but I was wondering if you could add an option that when True HD and eac3 are converted, if they could be converted to lpcm. I do a lot of AVCHDs and need the extra video bitrate, so typically convert audio to 448kbps ac3. Was hoping to avoid quality reduction from going ac3 to ac3.

@jdobbs I asked if this was a feature a few years ago, thought I’d revisit the idea and see if you’d be up to adding the option: A setting that will automatically start the backup process after the import is complete. Currently I load the MKV from the file menu and hit start. It does the first 3 steps to load the file. Then I have to hit the backup button, which then does everything else. A singe click solution would be a great addition.

I THINK there is a way to change the playlist when using BDRB, but I forgot what it was.

Basically, I have one of those really rare Blu-rays that when you do a full disc backup and you 'Blank' the main movie in order to create just an Xtras disc, it blanks everything. It's also one of those annoying Blu-rays that divides the main movie up into many m2ts files.

Now, I've already used BDRB thankfully to gather all the stupid main movie files and rending them to a normal playable Blu-ray. But, when I went to create an Xtras only disc, if I Blank the main movie, everything is blanked. IIRC this has something to do with choosing a different playlist, right?

Is that possible?

Also, I generally try to keep the menus and such intact for just the Xtras, is that possible to do?

Thanks!
