Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest release of BD-RB (v0.50.02). Changes for this release:

- Added a new hidden option.  IVTC_METHOD 
  lets you choose between DECOMB and TIVTC
  as the inverse telecining method. Usage is 
  defined in HIDDENOPTS.TXT.
- Added the ability to add multiple playlists
  to the batch queue when ALTERNATE output is 
  selected. The feature can be accessed by a
  right click in the queue area (if ALTERNATE 
  output is chosen).  For sources previously 
  imported, the titles specified during import
  will be used as output names for the MKV or 
  MP4 files. Meant as a time saver for those 
  who like to create MKV/MP4 versions of
  series discs.
- Improved automatic audio bitrate ("*") for
  MKV and MP4 ALTERNATE output.  It now uses 
  a constant quality parameter for encoding 
  rather than a predetermined set of audio
  bitrates.  See ALTAUTOAUDIO in HIDDENOPTS.
- Corrected an issue in which added borders
  and/or resizing that is specified in PINFO
  may not be applied when reencoding from an
  imported source when MULTIPROCESS is in use
  with Directshowsource().
- Corrected an error in which required video
  resizing mandated by PINFO for an imported 
  source was not being honored in X264/LAVF 
  mode. This could result in a distorted 
  encode and "stretched" view during playback.
- Added code to adjust for DVD imports that
  have a horizontal resolution of 352 pixels.
  That format is legal for DVD, but not for
  the BD standard. It is a rare format, but 
  it exists on some discs.
- Corrected an issue in which deinterlacing
  filters might be used on a 720p source.
- Corrected an error in which aborting during
  an ALTERNATE mux, and then attempting to 
  resume could result in "ERROR in attempt to 
  mux (MKVMERGE)".
- Corrected an issue in which some movies may 
  have their audio length clipped when using 
  NeroAACEnc.
- Fixed a problem in which a 480i source might
  be left intact, even when iVTC has been 
  selected and should be accomplished.
- Updated the included version of X265.EXE to 
  a newer release (12/22/2014).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to 
  the latest release (r2525).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE 
  to  the latest release (r2525).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I hope the joy of the holiday season touches each of you.

Joy is within us All. We create it, realized or not. If we're aware of our thoughts, emotions and breathe...we live deliberately. No luck needed.

I found a bug with Import/Quick-Play Settings and Import... I'm testing for repeat reporting..

jdobbs: Merry Christmas and thank you very much!

Hi jdobbs,

I have the dgindex PID error message again on Full Disc BD25 Backup by new German AKIRA Blu-Ray on MPEG2 Bonus material. The same error I have had on Ger. SHINING Blu-Ray. I thought it was fixed at 0.50.01.

I have tested it on 2 PCs (Win 7 and 8.1) with and without codec packs but nothing changed.

On Akira Blu-Ray the PID error message only comes on mpeg2 VID_00101 and VID_00102 but not on VID_00103.
Please see Pictures and mediainfo log files for the 3 mpeg2 files.

It would be very nice if you can reactivate ffdshow (on hidden options) for mpeg2 encoding again because it works perfect without any Errors on mpeg2 material.

many thanks and kind regards

[jdobbs]

I did a lot of testing on that.

I don't believe I've gotten reports from anyone else who has reported that issue. I even ran BD-RB against the file you provided me that was supposed to have the error -- and couldn't repeat it. That leads me to believe it must be specific to your setup (or your process). I'm not sure what else I can do.

The only time I could repeat it is if I forced a read error on a file.

Jdobbs, any progress made on that severe undersized issue I reported earlier?

Can you give me an example in something other than "UNDERWORLD_RISE_OF_THE_LYCANS"? I ordered that one, it arrived damaged, and I sent it back.

[Ch3vr0n]

I'll try. I'll run a few encodes over the next few days and get back to you.

@Ch3vr0n - Do you blank any stuff (using the Hidden Option that enables right-click -> Blank)? I find nearly all my discs come out undersized, but I also blank lots of useless stuff. I haven't reported this only because it's been a long while since I've done an untouched re-encode to prove it isn't me.

Hi jdobbs,

no my hdds are all ok. the files are correct backuped and have no read errors and so on. But I dont know why this error only comes if mpeg2 files indexed by dgindex.

If I did encode the movies which have mpeg2 with dvdfab it works and the mpeg2 files are encoded to mpeg4 format without any errors and the BD25 backup works perfect.

with at least bd-reb 0.47.07 it has worked too but the 0.47 I cant use anymore because it's expired.

If you cant find the error I must use, if the error message comes on, dvdfab for bds with mpeg2 material.

Tomorrow I can try it on my brothers Laptop... But I dont think it works because I tested mpeg2 stuff on 2 other PCs with same error.

Can it be that an AV/Firewall will block dgindex? On all PCs I tested it has Norton Internet Security installed.

It's possible, I guess, but a lot of people use Norton, and I've gotten no other reports.

I'll add a hidden option for the next release that will bypass DGIndex/DGDecode for MPEG-2. But, honestly, it is a lot better to not use Directshow -- especially when doing iVTC (which is very, very common in NTSC MPEG-2)

Thanks Mr Dobbs for the latest updates!

One thing still bothers me, its a minor thing, more esthetic,
If I rebuild a BD from series, with multiple episodes,
If I remove the subtitles and audio I dont want, the links still show up when playing,
If I do a movie only backup they are really gone.
Is there a way to get rid of the empty links when rebuilding full series BD's?

Thank you, Greetings from Hans

Unfortunately you can't do that on a full backup. That's because the audio and/or subtitles can be selected programmatically from either BD-J or HDMV command sequences. So if their references are removed it might cause the disc to crash or fail. So BD-RB links the unused references to the first audio/subtitle that was kept.

[Hassie]

OK, thank you for the answer,
I understand you have to dig too deep into the BD structure to make that happen, thats a pity, but no big deal, I can live with it :-)
Thanx!

[jdobbs]

I'd pretty much have to build a Java interpreter for BD-J, and the equivalent for command sequences -- and then the software to analyze their actions and automatically modify the code. That's way beyond the scope of BD Rebuilder.
