[dvd1304]

hi there
just wondered if someone can help me.i have just downloaded bd rebuilder and i am trying it for the very fisrt time.
as a trial,i have ripped my THE DARK KNIGHT BLUE RAY disc to my hard drive with anydvdhd.
when i open the folder containing the files via bd rebuilder i get a box come up saying select source is bd format.
can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong or if there is something i need to do to correct this.
i am just seeing what this program is like before maybe taking it further
many thanks for any help

Hi!

Just browse to the FOLDER containing the BluRay files, do NOT open it...

Remember -- the BDMV folder is NOT the BD folder -- it is in the BD folder. Normally there will also be a CERTIFICATE folder there as well.

You just need to direct BD Rebuilder to the folder named "THE_DARK_KNIGHT" created by AnyDVD Ripper. You don't need to go any deeper than that.

thanks for your help but i am still getting that message.
i open bd rebuilder.browse for the the dark knight which i have ripped to my hard drive via anydvdhd via the source button.i click on the dark knight,this opens a folder with bdmv
and certificate.i click on the bdmv and this opens up to a list of other items including playlist,stream etc.i click on stream as this is where the files are and when i do this a iget the message SELECTED SOURCE IS NOT BD FORMAT.i must be doing something wrong..any ideas
many thanks

Did you read and understand what GaPony told you?

[dvd1304]

Stop right at the point where I've ended your quote. The STREAM folder is not the BD it is under BDMV which in turn is under the BD folder. There's a lot more to a BD than just the .M2TS streams.

BD_FOLDER
+-----BDMV
+--------STREAM
+-----CERTIFICATE

I love it. All the best of help one could ask for. :)

From BD Rebuilder at "Source Path" click "Browse", then you will see the "Browse for Folder" Window, so select (highlight) the Named Top Folder (The Dark Knight?), as it is the one with all the Folders (BDMV, certificate, .etc.) and their files, then just click the "OK" button that is at the Bottom right of the "Browse For Folder" and all should be good to go. Have a great time with BD Rebuilder and the best place and people on the net. :)

thanks a lot fellas.i really appreciate your help.the problem i was having was i was going in to deep to the files instead of just opening up the dark knight folder then clicking ok.
i found it and now just waiting to see how it comes out.
will keep you posted on my result
many thanks again

[dvd1304]

just completed the rebuilding of the dark knight but the file i know have seems to be too big for dvd dl disc.it is slightly bigger and wont fit onto the dl disc.any ideas on what i can do to rectify this
many thanks again

What settings are you using? I make movie only copies to BD9 all the time and haven't been oversized yet. I use these options:

Movie Only - Because its unlikely the full movie will play on my Samsung SAP

High Quality
Idle Priority
Custom Target Size 8250 - Set in the Settings Window

I Check the block for:

Limit languages to one track for each language
Limit Subtitles to one per language - I manually enable all English and disable all others
Stricter Compliance for AVCHD Movie Only
Do Not Reencode AC3
Trellis Algorithm

... and set Custom Target Size to 8250.


I get great copies and they play on everything I have. (Sony BDP-S550, Sony PS3, Samsung BDP-2500, Sony Vaio laptop, TMT on my PCs using LG GGW-H20L drives) Each copy takes about 4 1/2 - 5 hrs on my system.

I hope this helps. :)

[dvd1304]

thanks very much gapony.i will reset the new instructions you have given.its all trial anderror this huh...thx again

[GaPony]

I leave the fancy stuff to smarter people than me. I just want a copy of the movie so the original doesn't get destroyed by my 2 y/o grandson. :)

[dvd1304]

hi again fellas.
i have been trying to do a movie only back-up of my watchmen region a disc but after almost 2 days i have just checked it and even though i have done the above settings said by gapony the file size was about 16gigs.any ideas as i seem to have wasted all this time for a file size to big to put onto a dvd dl.
many thanks

did you by chance include ALL audio streams and did you make sure to select dvd-5 or dvd-9?

any log file you could post?

[dvd1304]

oh,,i'm not sure...i have kept the english audio and english subtitles button only..all the others i have unchecked

[GaPony]

What options did you pick for audio? I don't keep HD or DTS...just the default setting with "Don't reencode AC3" checked. It is almost always 98% filled on a DL (bd9) disc, according to ImgBurn. I've never been oversized.

[dvd1304]

hi gapony..yea thats what i have been doing..i checked the size of the file with 97% done and it showed 16gigs.i have folowed your instructions as above but i might be doing something else wrong.i am trying it again now.when u choose to put it onto a dl disc,are you choosing target size bd-9 or ticking the custom size and setting it to 8250.i am currently doing at target size bd-9(dvd-9)??

[GaPony]

I select the custom target 8250, not BD9.

@dvd1304;
The WORKFILES folder will contain many files, audio and video, and when BD-RB is completely done, it will generate another folder within the WORKFILES folder that will have your AVCHD movie. So don't just check the size of the WORKFILES folder, look inside for another folder ( The Dark Knight or whatever). This will not be oversized, and you will have your backup. The typical WORKFILES folder can have twice the size of the finished AVCHD/BD files. ;)

[GaPony]

The final result, named for the movie being worked on, is on the same level as the WORKFILES folder, not within the WORKFILES folder. This is just a clarification to help navigate to the proper folder...

You are correct. My mistake, not sure what I was thinking (senior moment). :o

[GaPony]

I know the feeling... that's why we should run in groups of at least two. :)

I'm with you... if we can walk instead! ;)
Thanks for covering my back.

[dvd1304]

phew...thank god you guys know what you are talking about.anyways i have just done the Watchmen directors cut and checked it before burning it onto a dvd9.unfortuneatly i have somehow got the main movie but with Zak Snyder talking and introducing the movie asweell with this blue ray him showing how the film was made.have i done anything wrong????the quality looks great but now just need this small prob to go away and we are up and running......i hope...any ideas fellas...cheers for ya help...much appreciated

[dvd1304]

just another thing.what happens when you get a blue ray that has the theatrical cut and directors cut.how does one sort that out???just asking because i have just had delivered the last house on the left and this has 2 versions on it.and yes,i do have it 2 weeks early.lol

[Capsbackup]

@dvd1304;
You will have to redo the Watchmen, unfortunately, and select a different playlist.
For this movie, it has two .mpls, 00101.mpls which is 3:08:01 long and includes the bonus features.
00100.mpls is 3:06:28 and is the movie only.
You need to make sure you select the correct .mpls for the movie only, since BD-RB will default to the longer version, which is NOT the one to use for movie only.
So from "Mode", select movie only, and then "Alternate Movie-Only Playlist", and you will see the options.

[dvd1304]
