Disable Encoding on extras?

[Space@pe]

I would like to know if it's possible to disable encoding on
bluray extras (480i/1080p) with bd rebuilder?

i have a some bluray films only a few gigabytes over a bd-25
size. so i've tried leaving out a couple of audio tracks using bd
rebuilder. im having partially success as the main movie haven't
been re-encoded but the extras are still being encoded

looks like this:

AssumeFieldBased().AssumeTFF()
ConvertToYV12()
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\BD_Rebuilder\tools\decomb521.dll")
FieldDeinterlace()
ConvertToYV12().AssumeFPS(30000,1001)

and:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\BD_Rebuilder\tools\nicaudio.dll")
audio=NicAC3Source("00071.track_4357.ac3").Amplify(1.2

last time i tried leaving out all but the english tracks and i managed to
get the program not to encode all of the 480i extras but the one 1080p
one still gets encoded :confused:

Other than that a super great program. Thank you very much :)

If it will fit without reencoding, BD Rebuilder will automatically see that and not reencode, but only if it doesn't affect other portions of a single playback unit. I have plans for adding an option that will allow you to select sections and say "do not reencode". It's not as easy as you might think, though, because you have to treat all sections of an MPLS the same -- and you may have a piece (a single M2TS) that you say "don't reencode" only to find that it affects 20 others...

For example lets say you want to "not reencode 00005.M2TS" but this is a structure behind the scenes for a disc:

MPLS 00001: 00001.M2TS+00002.M2TS+00005.M2TS+00009.M2TS
MPLS 00002: 00003.M2TS+00004.M2TS+00005.M2TS+00010.M2TS
MPLS 00003: 00006.M2TS+00007.M2TS+00005.M2TS+00011.M2TS

You would have to treat all 10 streams equally, or else you might have a sudden change in appearance at 00005 in all three videos. The same issue applies to blanking...

okay got it sir :) Maybe I just needed a bit more free space
on the disc for the extra clip i mentioned not to be encoded
..i'll have to trust your application :D

being able to rightclick the extras and leaving it out like you
do with the audio stream could be cool though ;) oh well will
have to wait patiently for features like that to be implemented :D

the beta will have to make do so far. you rock champ
thanx a lot :cool:
