Anyway... Dobbs, thanks for the IVTC_480i=n and IVTC_SELECTION=n options. They've proven a very useful combination for TiVo HD 1080i files.
Which quote was that? Did I alter something?

Already tried that but it makes no difference.

As I have done all my backups via DVD_RB so fare and have never had any sync problems, I think this is another kind of problem.

Thanks.

Playlist obfuscation. I kept trying to think of the term and it wouldn't come to me. Thanks. AnyDVD picks the correct one most of the times but every so often it will pick the wrong one. I notice that on some of these the US - Canada releases will have a different correct playlist even though all the playlist numbers are the same, apparently different parts of the US could have different correct playlists.

If it picks the wrong playlist you need to inform the folks at slysoft and provide a logfile for the affected disc so they can fix it that anydvd picks the right one

I agree, absolutely. I recently did 'Now You See Me' and it took quite a while to find the correct playlist from dozens of playlists with almost the same play length. I found that the 'obfuscated' playlists usually had repeating video segments, where a short video segment was duplicated with different m2ts file names and was then included multiple times in the playlist. I've seen this before, and now that I've got a feel for the pattern I think the next time will be quicker

I realize that, however if a couple of people from my "region" have already submitted logs it may be better to be patient and wait for the Slysoft team to do its thing.

Hahaha!! Thanks. I Am (Usually...). I've also been told that many times in my life. Which is also why I can see quality differences in Video that most don't see and say is not possible. ;-) Annnnnything is possible...with focus and vibrational awareness. For more awesome insights into human possibilities...may I suggest Stan Lee's Superhumans?

Jdobbs, I just wanted to inform you that I came across another disc with the improper mPID number to the dolby digital commentary tracks in the playlist. This movie (X-MEN: Wolverine) has 3 PIP videos and 3 DTS Express audio tracks. From what I can see I believe that BDRebuilder is somehow thinking that the DTS Express tracks belong in the main audio section and assigning the mPID numbers to the DD commentary tracks after the DTS Express tracks thus labeling the DD commentary tracks as hidden as noted in BDinfo. For instance on this disc there's the main DTS-HD.MA track that gets the value of 1200 and then I believe that BDRebuilder leaves the following values of 1201-1203 for the DTS Express tracks (that aren't in the list nor belong in that Au list) as there's three of them and then goes on to assign the DD tracks the values of 1204 and 1205. As you can see the DD tracks are far off from one number as they should have 1201 and 1202 as noted correctly in the clipinf screenshot shown below.

Source Info:

Playlist:


Clipinf:


BDinfo:


BDRebuilder output info:

BDedit Playlist (Note incorrect mPID numbers circled in RED):


BDedit Clipinf (The DD tracks are correct in the Clipinf file):


BDinfo Screenshot of DD tracks hidden and not working due to incorrect mPID numbers:


You may take notice that in the BDedit playlist tab that there isn't any PIP videos or audio tracks shown. That's because there's four different playlist for this movie each having their own unique characteristics of what video/audio tracks are included in each one of them.

I'm also currently doing "Gangster Squad" which has a PIP & DTS Express track in it so I'm expecting that the DD audio commentary track will be one number off in the playlist since there's only one DTS Express track on this disc to trip it up.

Hopefully, these screenshots are helpful to you and if you need anymore info just let me know and I'll be glad to provide it to you to help assist you in this problem.

Try changing it to these values and see if it works:

1100 DTS-HD XLL, Multi-ch., 48 kHz, eng
1101 DD, Stereo, 48 kHz, eng
1102 DD, Stereo, 48 kHz, eng
1100 DTS-HD XLL, Multi-ch., 48 kHz, fra
1100 DD, Stereo, 48 kHz, spa
1103 DD, Stereo, 48 kHz, eng
FWIW AP I did try your suggestion and it didn't work. There's something more involved with this methinks, and I expect it may take a while, once he confirms the problem, for our capable host to unravel the mystery.

I've fixed it. I did a full backup of SALT yesterday using your INI settings and it worked correctly.

It was caused by the audio tracks being out-of-order in the original CLPI. There's nothing in the spec that says they have to be in order -- but until this disc I hadn't seen any that weren't sequential. Anyway, its done.

Great to hear! Do you have an ETA for the new release e.g. Sunday "as usual"?

Yea, I just looked at your screenshots again and realized that you have 7 DD eng tracks in your clipinf file but you only stated that there were 3 DD eng tracks in the playlist that you had selected. You also stated that there were two other playlists so I only had 1/3 of the information and I'd be pretty certain that the other two playlists would be setup slightly different. I'd imagine that the other 4 DD eng tracks would go in the other two playlists somewhere but without having the disc in front of me it's pretty hard to give you 100% correct information as there's still 2/3 of the info still missing. I'm guessing that some of those DD tracks are hidden on certain playlists which is why there's only 3 on that one playlist that you posted. Like I said before it was merely a suggestion on what I've been doing to get my audio tracks working again but apparently you issue was a bit more involved. Anyway, jdobbs has you covered and you'll be good to go once he posts the new version.

Will this fix my issue as well?

BTW, I just did "Ganster Squad" last night and everything turned out fine. This bug was not present. Maybe it only happens when there's more than one playlist for the movie? Which may be why Ganster Squad wasn't effected as it only has one playlist for the movie.

You didn't post the original CLPI so I can't say for sure -- but it's likely it will.

I've got what I believe to be a minor bug that I need to run down first -- then it should be ready.

I modified my post #18052 to include that info. If you need anything else let me know.

When you release the next version I'll test it out on these discs to see if it's fixed. From my understanding, if I follow the same process (removing audio tracks, blanking vids, etc) but don't encode the disc and run it through BDRebuilder it should tell me if the bug is present or not without having to go through the encoding process?

On a side note, would you ever consider adding my feature request into BDRebuilder (Post #180002 feature request #2) of manually marking vid's as extras? I'm merely just asking as I have two discs that I want to encode that have seamless branching with DTS Express and I'm wondering if I should try to figure out how to encode these discs the way that I want it (using CRF on extras) or wait for your implementation. Please understand that I'm not asking that it get done now but merely wondering if it's something that'll be added on your to do list so that I know how to proceed with these discs.

Again, thank you for this wonderful program and your continuing support for it!

jdobbs, I just found out that it looks like the recently updated tsMuxeR now supports DTS Express as I was able to demux the 3 DTS Express audio tracks for X-MEN: WOLVERINE. Will this mean that BDRebuilder will now support DTS Express properly to work correctly on all players?

Yes... but that version of TSMUXER is still in early beta (it was alpha not long ago). I'll support it as soon as I've tested it enough and know it's stable.
