First, per suggestion, I merely removed and reinstalled (using the existing versions I had). And that didn't work.
I tried that first, as your suggestion it was a problem with my system...and if were corruption, just reinstalling should (at least in theory) should have fixed it.
I then checked the current versions on your site. Of the three supporting applications, only AviSynth has not changed. Even though AviSynth was the exact (bit for bit) same version I had, I downloaded it along with the other two...and installed them. I then downloaded a fresh copy of BD Rebuilder 44.06 and unzipped that...effectively installing it. And just in case, gave it Admin Authority.
FFdshow is now at 1.2.4422.0
MatroskaSplitter is now at 1.4.92.1
AviSynth is still at 2.5.8.5
That worked for the AVC titles I was doing that day, but did not work for the VC-1 title...which I thought at the time might be bad.
Today I worked on a different AVC title, and like before...it failed.

Note that this time I was re-encoding down to a BD5.
I'm the current (version 11) of DirectX, and as far as I know on the correct version of DirectShow. Since MS does not generally include updates (as fixes), but instead releases whole new versions. I couldn't find that any of the updates (that I've not applied) had anything to do with DirectX or DirectShow.
Now it's possible this disc is bad or involves something that makes it more difficult to handle. I don't know. Some work and some don't. And prior to installing 44.06, I never had any problems remotely like this. At least not related to the initial install of BD Rebuilder.
And lastly here's a copy of the INI file..
