BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

So two things, then:

1) How do I persuade BD Rebuilder to use ffmpeg/fdkaac again? It's there, on the path, and functional. Or do I need to build a specific exe or dll?

2) When BD Rebuilder uses faac.exe instead, looks like there's a bug with the command-line options it spits out in audio1.bat. (But possibly no-one notices because no-one uses faac if they can help it)

Cheers

I use it all the time without issue. When I get some extra time I'll go through the code and see how it can happen. It has to be something in the settings.

BTW: There is nothing wrong with FAAC. It encodes AAC fine. It's just not supported anymore.

If you have NeroAAC encoder installed you can use that instead of FAAC. Just collect the path and add it to the [Paths] area of the INI file. Then set the flag telling BD-RB to use Nero. Here is an example with a path from my settings:

[Options]
NEROAAC=1

[Paths]
NeroAACPath=C:\APPS\REENCODER\TOOLS\neroAacEnc.exe

Of course NeroAacEnc can be used until 5.1.

Warning with 7.1, the default layout for 7.1 (from DTS-MA or TrueHD: L R C LFE Lb Rb Ls Rs) is converted to the default layout for AAC (C L R Ls Rs Lw Rw LFE). See here.

[EDIT]
I check the free versions of Faac 1.30 and Fdkaac 1.04 in https://www.videohelp.com/software/FAAC

The faac output 7.1 m4a is wrong for MediaInfo, NeroDec and ffmpeg:
[aac @ 0000012f3c5ac340] invalid default channel configuration (8)

The fdkaac output 7.1 m4a is correct.

No worries. NVENCCRE is working great for me so far. And I appreciate you have added it!

Many thanks. I've tried everything I can think of short of reinstalling on a fresh copy of Windows. It has to be something on my machine or with my settings, but when I found the bad command-line parameters being passed to faac, I got to the well-how-did-it-ever-work-then stage

It'll be nice to be able to use BD Rebuilder again; I miss it

Many thanks

Excellent, thank you. Up and running again!

I just realized the difference. I use Auto-AAC encoding. It follows a different path than a fixed bitrate.

I'll correct the fixed bitrate issue and post a new release.

I'm getting this error "ExtractAudioSubs() 00053 1604 [17:14:36] - Failed to retrieve audio, aborted" on some new UHD discs, weirdly the affected file does not have any audio or subs.

Oh, it is one of those "you are an idiot for trying to play a 4K video on your 1080 display device" videos. Ya, those don't have to come with audio. You might try a BDRB setting whereby the file will be ignored unless it is a certain size/length.

BDRebuilder does not work with BDs containing E-AC3 audio only. It throws "Unsupported media type 135 for AVCHD/Blu-ray muxing" when muxing. This is a tsMuxeR issue that has been fixed in recent builds. However it is not possible to just replace tsMuxeR as the new versions use .ec3 as file extension and add the language to the file name as well but BDRebuilder expects the old format. Patching singleFileMuxer in tsMuxeR and use a custom version works.

Yes, I know it is not 100% compliant to the standard but it works.
