Live Free or Die Hard Blu-Ray = Nightmare!

bluesk1d · 1st December 2007, 07:41

Has anyone attempted to encode Die Hard 4 Blu-Ray? I cannot for the life of my get the video to decode properly (in order to encode to WVC-1). It is totally artifacted, jumpy, skips back and forth and eventually crashes whatever player its being played in. I've tried to construct graphs in every way I could think of. This applies to the straight m2ts file as well as the demuxed h264 stream. DGAVCIndex also chokes and crashes on the stream. I had a rough enough time dealing with the DTS-HD audio track and I had no idea the video would be so much trouble since it never has before! If anyone can shed some light, I'd be very grateful.

Hi!

I wonder if your problem is being caused by it being a multi-angle disc (If it's of similar construct to the standard DVD, that provides the option of choosing either the theatrical version or the unrated version for playback)?

It's BD+.
I hasn't been cracked yet in order to make an encode. It can just be played from HDD with PowerDVD.

Wow are you serious? What if you just build a graph with Cyberlink's PowerDVD directshow filters? Ill give it a shot and report back.

EDIT: I finally got around to updating my PowerDVD version to 7.3.3516 and it still does not play properly. There is no artifacting like with other decoders but it skips quite a bit and is certainly unwatchable.. There HAS to be away to decode this thing properly... Ugh!

It's only normal it won't work in graph with cyberlink filters, because it doesn't pass but through the demuxer (not all other stuff that pdvd only can). So unless you can hack the output of pdvd to be sent to an encoder instead of rederer, there's no way to do it unless of course you decrypt it first (which considering there have been a few months, it's gonna take a while).

Right. I tried PDVDs demuxer along with its decoder in the graph (its in the list of dshow filters) but what I should have made clear is I meant it wont even play worth beans in the actual PDVD player application. Is anyone aware of a thread or blog tracking the progress of cracking the new BD+?

I don't know when, but it will be cracked some day. I believe this day will come soon.

yeah..sadly its a big Problem to reencode BluRay+ Video Streams.

Cyberlink applies skipping, Sonic,libavcodec are producing heavy blocking

We have to wait ...

i hope it wont. so ppl will learn to not buy sony proprietary crap.

Is there a list or way to find out which are BD+ so I can avoid buying those until this has been solved?

all stuff from fox is said to be BD+
