BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[setarip_old]

@empty1

Hi!

Am I missing something obvious?

Yes, you are:

- Source Video: VC-1, 1920x1080

- FFDSHOW VC-1 set incorrectly: [1]

[empty1]

OK, I am confused. Isn't 1080p = 1920x1080? What settings should be set in ffdshow for VC1?

[ceet12]

just updated to the latest version of bd rebuilder, i am tryin to convert salt (i now this is cinivia protected), to a bd25 backup on the options setting i have set encoder to highest (very slow)

the problem im having is about 30% through i get the error x264 has stopped working?

anyone no why this is doing it?

also the main problem that geeting to me is this

i was prompted with a dialogue box when running bdrebuilder from ffdshow about what to selct or something it said ffdshow "choose dont use now, or always, etc" so i chose no, however apparently on reading up i should have chose yes, how can i get the dialogue box to appear again so i can choose yes??

i have looked in the setiing briefly and found something different in ffdshow, but i can not find the exact popup i had

i also got the same popup when i loaded a audio cue file through imgburn

Any Help appreciated?

Most probable causes:

1. You have the wrong version of FFDSHOW, HAALI, or AVISYNTH installed. My testing has shown that using the latest version of FFDSHOW definitely causes this error.

2. Your system is unstable. If you are overclocked, slow it down a little.

I have no idea what you are are trying to say in this post. It has nothing to do with the solution to your problem that setarip_old pointed out. If you follow the instructions in the first post of this thread (step 8) it will solve your problem.

More specifically:

1. Click on the windows/start icon.
2. Select "FFDSHOW" from "All Programs"
3. Select "Video Decoder Configuration"
4. Set the VC-1 decoder (under CODECs) to "wmv9"

Sorry, didn't mean to be a pain. What is weird is that everything was working and suddenly things changed. I had not reinstalled anything but the latest version of BD-RB and apparently the FFDSHOW settings got messed with. I ONLY use this machine for ripping and can't imagine what would have changed the settings. Are there other programs that would mess with FFDSHOW settings without my knowing it????

[Ch3vr0n]

yes, if u use any codec pack. ANY at all, uninstall em. You don't need em

Sometimes other software packages will do things without telling you. It's safe to say that either something changed it -- or this is the first VC-1 source you've tried (unlikely).

Something is wrong on your end. Uninstall everyting and install with the software from the first post of this thread. I just ran "Stand By Me" with settings that should be the same as yours -- and it came out to the exact size (22.3 GB) that it was supposed to.

You were probably doing a backup to DVD and it was asking whether to add HC Encoder to its "ok" list.

And the Director's Cut version:

Both had the same sync issues.

@steveg32 and others who have reported sync issues on DVD-5/9 output.


I think I've found a connection. On my test computer I had upgraded to AVISYNTH v2.58 some time ago so I can certify it as the recommended version. When I removed it and reinstalled v2.57 (the currrent recommendation) I was able to repeat the sync issue on certain discs. When I reinstall v2.58, the problem is solved.

So, though it is still not completely clear why, it appears that the DVD-5/9 audio synchronization problem is linked to using the combination of HC Encoder and AVISYNTH 2.57.

Since I have been running v2.58 for some time now, I am confident it is safe to use and I have now updated the first link of this thread so that it now links to that version.

@steveg32

Can you please download and install this version of AVISYNTH and report if it corrects your issue?

Thanks.

Got some news you might be interested in too jdobbs. You know about my HP5 that kept crashing on VID_00033 ? Well with 2.58 it DIDNT when it hit the actual encoding phase, though it did leave an mkv file along with the m2ts file in the workfiles dir.

I think the problem is that the message sais at some point "... secondairy video stream". However when you take a look at the properties for vid_00033 there IS no secondary video stream. VID_00002 also had the non-existant secondairy stream but it was mentioned during the encoding process. Maybe thats the reason 2.57 crashed.




I'll let you know about the final outcome

Also there are 14 audio streams present, stream 13 is being flagged as "undetermined". This may be because of stream 8. 8 is often incorrectly flagged as english (on the main m2ts though its correctly identified as dutch). Stream 13 however is also dutch but flemish (belgian) to be exact. Maybe add another language option ?

I also couldnt help but notice that x264-64 didnt get called on VC-1 streams, a bug or is x264 incapable of doing vc1 in 64bit with the LAFV.

UPDATE 1:
Encode was aborted and restarted from scratch to make sure it wasnt a fluke, VID_00033 was successfully encoded again with AVS 2.58 and multiplexed back. So far its going good.

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new release of BD-RB (v0.38.03). Changes for this version:

- Corrected an error in which .CHP files could be
  created and never removed in the destination
  folder while previewing streams.
- Fixed an issue in subtitle end-times related to
  previously resized (via TSMUXER) subtitles.
- Changed the default setting for B_PYRAMID (see
  HIDDENOPTS.TXT) to disabled.  While it should
  be supported per standard, at least two standalone
  players appear to have difficulty with b-frame
  references.
- Corrected level settings associated with 720x480
  or 576 secondary video streams.
- Added code to prevent redundant reencoding of 
  secondary video streams when resuming after the 
  encoding has previously been completed.
- Changed the recommended version of AVISYNTH to
  v2.58.  This should solve reported audio sync
  issues on ALTERNATE DVD-5/9 output that can
  occur on certain discs.  AVISYNTH v2.58 can be
  downloaded from here:
  http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/Avisynth_258.exe
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

All Users,

Please note that the recommended version of AVISYNTH has changed. All users are advised to update to v2.5.8.0. A link to that version is included in the first post of this thread.

This may be off-topic for this forum, but here goes:

Is there any way to force BD-Rebuilder to keep HD-Audio on
a BD9 encode? According to the following excerpt:

If doing BD-5 or BD-9:

1. Default (all audio options unchecked)
---- All audio is converted to DD AC3. Bitrate is 640Kbs for 5.1 and 224Kbs for 2.0.
---- All 7.1 sources are down-converted to 5.1

1.1 448Kbs selected -- 5.1 = 448Kbs, 2.0 = 224Kbs
1.2 192Kbs selected, all sources down-converted to 2.0 @ 192Kbs

2. "Do not convert DTS" checked and full-backup, or movie-only and "Strict AVCHD" is not checked: When the source is DTS, the DTS core is extracted and used intact (bit-for-bit).

3. "Do not reencode AC3" checked and full-backup, or movie-only and "Strict AVCHD" is not checked: When the source is Dolby, the Dolby core is extracted and used intact.

4. LPCM is always converted to AC3.

5. Keep HD is always ignored.

6. Setting "OVERRIDE_AVCHD_AUDIO_LIMIT=1" in the INI will allow strict AVCHD to also use DTS.

and I was wondering if there is perhaps a hidden setting that can be turned on to allow HD-Audio
on a BD-9 level. If not, what would the minimum custom
size that would allow HD-Audio to be kept intact?

Thanks!
Mike
