In addition all players based on directshow source will be able to play files without problem or need for codec, such as windows media player.

Ah, I see now. Thanks for taking the time to explain; I appreciate it. HWK too. Got it!

Help, I trying to encode the 3D version of Maleficent, but the encoding process fails with a weird error:

It wasn't heat related. I was able to reproduce it BUT unable to do it consistently. It did it when it was cool also. I'm checking into it more. I'd like to know it it's BD-RB or...TsMuxER..or? Or SSD firmware flaw? Until I have a repeatable BD-RB "bug"...I'll leave it from here.

I'm noticing some other stuff..but doing more checks..

[Sharc]

Is your SSD Samsung type 840 or 840EVO? Apparently there is a bug which slows down reading. SAMSUNG are about to releasing a fix.
You may google for the news.

@jdobbs
v0.49.01 (beta):
A minor issue only: For x265 the encoding speed (fps) in the status line of BD-RB is almost double than what is shown in the commandline window.
(For x264 it is correct).

jdobbs, sorry, meant result without audio track.
Audio track is not extracted in preparation.

(For x264 it is correct).

I'm not paying any attention to the fps reported by the encoder. I am calculating it based upon the number of frames completed against the system clock and I'd rather continue doing my own calculations. I'm not seeing anything near "double" -- but it does vary from what x265 reports.

I'll look at it again to make sure it's right.

[Edit] Yep... forgot to take a reporting delay into account. Fixed it

"Double" (or even more) was observed at the beginning of the encode, gradually getting lower. Your explanation makes it clear as to why this happened. Thanks.

EVO and PRO. Though it's the Pro I am using and posted about. Thanks, Sharc. I was going to use Google soon for it, but I appreciate the share.

Any ideas what can cause this?

[update]

Even if audio process is success, mkvmerge fails. Upon further investigation I know the cause of failure.

Contents of mux_movie_only_meta

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --demux --vbr --vbv-len=500 --start-time=27000000
V_MPEGH/ISO/HEVC, "F:\BD-RB\WORKFILES\VID_00800.AVS.hevc", fps=23.976, insertSEI, contSPS

However there is no such file in directory, instead it is VID_00800.AVS.264. As you can see it is trying to call file which does not exist.





Also there is cosmetic issue when processing audio it goes above 100 percent in this case at least. another issue is if you abort on second pass encoding and restart from beginning it does not update overall progress.

[jdobbs]

The only difference I see between my setup and yours is that I'm using NeroAACEn v1.5.4 to your v1.5.1. But I did a lot of AAC encodes using Nero during testing.

There should never be a .264 extension when using MOVIEONLY_TYPE=33. I'll have to go back and see how that is possible. I did at least 20-30 encodes in testing and it never happened. Maybe there some's kind of flag confusion from a 3D source (I don't think I tested any 3D sources), I'll have to try one and see.

You are encoding to avc, where I am doing HEVC.

@ Jdobbs, I decided to do same movie in crf mode and video encode aborted. Upon examination of bat file of x265 I discovered argument weren't pass correctly.

"E:\BD-RBV04901\BD_Rebuilder\tools\avs2yuv.exe" "F:\BD-RB\WORKFILES\VID_00800.AVS" -o - | "E:\BD-RBV04901\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x265.exe" - --preset slow --slow-firstpass --qpfile "F:\BD-RB\WORKFILES\VID_00800.CHP" --keyint 240 --crf 20 --y4m --stats "F:\BD-RB\WORKFILES\VID_00800.AVS.hevc.stats" --output "F:\BD-RB\WORKFILES\VID_00800.AVS.hevc"

As you can see underline ones are not needed.

I am gone try 2D source next and see what is outcome.

[Lathe]

I have a Blu-ray that with the movie only comes to 24.34 Gigs. I tried changing the 'Custom Size' for BD-25 higher than the default 22.9 (only in these rare cases would I do this) But, when I went to run the encode, BDRB still shows the target size as 22.9. I tried changing it in the 'Setup' menu where it LOOKS like you can input another value. Will I be able to squeak this one in? What is the maximum size I can get? Why didn't it change; did I input too large of a size (I tried 24.5)

Thanks!

*** EDIT

Sorry, never tried this before, but I figured it out (Duh...) I have to SELECT the custom output size as opposed to BD-25. I'll play around with the sizes and figure it out. Geez...

Perhaps not needed in this case. It may however make perfectly sense to produce a stats file even for a --crf encode, just in case you like to take some corrective action in a second pass and take advantage of the stats from the first (--crf ) pass. Scenario proposed here.
I think however --pass 1 needs to be added in the commandline in order to really produce the stats file.
