bd rebuilder pixelated errors

I have lavf selected in the setup, I dont think I have filters enabled

I have checked the spots on the rip and they appear clean, bd compliance test do you mean inspect? and in terms of a benchmark do you have any suggestions for me?

There are software checkers from several companies that test the capability of a PC to play BDs, this including the CPU/GPU issues and of course the damn HDCP. All of them free.

As for benchmarks, I never used one, I don't need, my PCs are for editing only, not for playback.

I am frightened that you are at a loSS!!!!

The only other thing that i can think that may be causing an issue, but i really cant see how, I do the rips on a different machine, where my only blu burner is, and network transfer the files to my rebuilding machine. could the power supply be causing a problem?

could the power supply be causing a problem?

That is why I asked. 500 watts is not very much for todays components, let alone some PS are just poorly made and cheap!
If you were to weigh a cheap power supply compared to a good one, you will see a big difference. But more so is the quality, as a good power supply can cost close to $100.00 or more.
If you are building both of these systems, then logic might say you are doing something wrong for both, be it consistent though. :(

Do you use AnyDVD?

Yes I do, but its not installed on this machine, and these blurays were ripped months ago

Even if its not installed, you still used it to rip the problem discs.

Did you check the streams for the PMT errors (Program Map Tables)?

On some systems, AnyDVD introduced PMT errors in the rip. The same block problem that you are describing.

This has been fixed in version 6.6.9.0 and later. You can try to update to the latest version and re-rip the disc to see if that caused the problem.

Sorry for repeating me for the third time: HAVE YOU USED that damn BLURAY COMPATIBILITY testing software? Is this so hard to do, that you need to get into non-sense what-if questions?

Speaking of power: My laptop needs only 55W and it's perfectly compatible to BD. A BD-capable desktop PC should not drawn more than 110-150W for the same, using actual hardware (not necessarily top-of-the-line). That's why some problems in idle occurs due to the inability of some power supplies to provide lower amounts of power to the system. Every PS can give the 75-90% of its nominal power with no issues at all, very few are also able to work at a 15-20% load. Like driving a Ferrari at 5 kmh.

What?

A power supply that cannot provide clean power at low loads is defective.

The difference between a good power supply and a crappy one is their efficiency, especially at low loads.

Also, good power supplies (like Seasonic or Enermax) have a better voltage regulation, i.e. the voltages fluctuate less and are closer to the specs over the entire load spectrum.

The specs are clearly defined in the ATX specification.

So, if the voltages of a PS fluctuate so much that it makes the PC unstable, it is either defective or doesn't comply with the specs.

I fully agree, but these are expensive and thus not really preferred when one buys a pre-made PC. Besides, as a customer, one has little possibilities to check them.

The banking regulations were also compulsory, yet they couldn't stop the financial crash ..., for exactly the same reason :)

A good PS from Seasonic is maybe 20-30 bucks more expensive than a crappy one at the same power rating.

Considering the importance of a clean and stable PS it's inexplicable that so many people try to save on the PS but spend 200 bucks more on a CPU because it overclocks better. Same with video cards - many people spend big bucks to get 5 FPS more in Crysis. My conclusion is that they simply don't have a clue.

As for deciding which PS to get - there are a number of web sites which do proper reviews, i.e. measuring stability and efficiency with professional equipment.

I have ran the cyberlink test, all software checks were fine... all those decoders are provided in the JDobbs download package.

Stated so much more eloquently than I did! :)
I agree completely, this should not be overlooked.

@John920

Once again, I'd suggest that instead of AnyDVD HD, try using either DVDFab Passkey or MakeMKV to make full disc saves to your hard drive...
