1. If the source is pointing to a local drive onto which you've ripped the disc, your drive is having issues with circular references. You may want to do a CHKDSK to find any issues. If this is a network or externally connected drive, it could also be a driver issue.

2. If you are reading directly from a disc it could either be a driver issue, or it could be a new type of copy protection that isn't being addressed by the ripping software.

I'll order the discs and see if I can repeat the issue in the case of #2.
I created a new target folder with a different name and it worked fine. I had noticed that when I selected my target folder previously, it wasn't displaying the full address (i.e. A:\The Big Bang Theory Season 2\backup was only showing up as A:\The Big Bang Theory Season 2).

Interesting.

Jdobbs, do you have an answer to this question?

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...58#post1669758

Just using BDRebuilder as is on 2-pass encoding without any modifications to it doesn't work. I also added those two config lines in the previous question without any luck.

FWIW, here's some info that might be tripping it up:

1. 104 playlists
2. 174 m2ts files

I don't know why when I set BD Rebuilder to DVD9 it sees most of the files but still not all. When I Set it to BD25 it ignores A LOT of m2ts files.


Maybe there's too many m2ts files for BD Rebuilder to handle?

If you set it to BD-9 and it ignores files, it is probably because they are unreferenced. Some discs have "filler" material added to make them larger than BD-25. BD-RB ignores anything that isn't referenced.

I'll go back and look a BD-25 -- there was some reasoning there, but it escapes me right now.

There is not an easy answer to this as anything could be causing this to happen. Do a system restore to the point where tsMuxeR was working fine and check what changes or installations you did before the problem started. This does not appear to be a BD-RB bug so you may not get many replies in this thread.

There are a couple posts further back in this thread where DoctorM was having issues with the new TSMUXER. If I recall correctly it was because he had an exceptionally old processor that didn't support SSE2. Any chance that may be your issue?

I looked at it. The M2TS files that aren't included when MIN_M2TS_SIZE=0 are the ones that have no video, contain IGS (with IGS_ENABLE set off), BD-RB has determined to be menus, or BD-RB has determined to be made up of still images (and AUTO_BLANK is off).

Does BD Rebuilder not allow mpeg2 on AVCHD BD5/9 discs?
I added on a trailer (from a DVD) to my recent encoding, and although it is below the MIN_M2TS_SIZE value, it still forced a re-encoding.

That's a bit of a problem because I had added AVS filters for the movie, but I don't want those filters applied to the extras.

It's not a matter of BD-RB allowing it. The AVCHD standard doesn't allow it.

Converting SBS MKV to MVC 3D

I am having difficulties getting SBS MKVs to properly convert to MVC 3D ISOs. The conversion completes successfully. On playback, the picture is somewhat blocky and does not play smooth. It is difficult to describe what is happening so I have provided a sample at the following link:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zznnngx2r0...8SAMPLE%29.ISO

If someone would be willing to download this file and try to play it on their system and tell me if they have any trouble, I would greatly appreciate your time. Here is a link to the original sample file I used from my Blu-ray disc.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/oa3hig5gl4...8sample%29.mkv

And also, the support files that jdobbs usually asks for.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/geimtdsqhd...rt%20files.zip

Thanks for your time. Later.

While I do agree with you that the newer discs are using this sort of trickery both of the X-Files discs came out in 2008 and back then they didn't do that sort of thing.

Just to be sure that this isn't the case, I used Procmon in conjunction with PowerDVD and had the disc loaded in BD Rebuilder to compare everything. I can assure you that everything that I'm questioning is referenced in the disc menu. My findings were that most of the material that BD Rebuilder doesn't see is contained in bonus material titled:

"The X-Files Complete Timeline"
"Still Galleries"

The X-Files Complete Timeline is very interesting and goes into specific details about everything regarding the X-Files and breaks it down by year/seasons/movies etc... The user has the choice. This feature is very tricky to navigate and has TONS of SD video of at least 87 m2ts files that are at least 2.4 GB in size along with interesting facts and pictures. It's hard to track everything down as there's so much material.

The "X-Files: I Want To Believe" is one of the most difficult discs that I've come across because of all these features.


FWIW, I also can't do the first film "Fight The Future" for two reasons

1. tsMuxeR is throwing up errors on 00003.m2ts file. The same error as Matrix789 is having here:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...76#post1670576

which has nothing directly to do with BD Rebuilder.

2. BD Rebuilder has the same issue as the second film of not seeing all the m2ts files. BD Rebuilder is ignoring the same bonus part as in disc two "Still Galleries". In this case, it isn't as bad as those "Still Galleries" consist of three files (I believe) which isn't that bad as I could manually encode that so it's not as much of a concern but is still the same problem with BD Rebuilder.


I guess it's not too surprising that both X-Files movie are having issues with BD Rebuilder as they were both released on the same exact day and have the same format but just different bonus content.


If there's anything that I can further do to help assist you let me know.

P.S. If you wish I could send you the Blu-ray structure of both discs (everything but the stream folder as including that folder would be too much to upload) to possibly help you analyze the disc. I could also tell you which playlists BD Rebuilder ignores.

Could you make these changes for the next release? Anyway, were you succeeded in processing Avatar 3D as 2D for full disc backup? I would be much concerned about that.

Thank you in advance!

I suspected. So I stopped the job, removed the filters, used 'Import Videofiles' and pointed it to the newly re-encoded M2TS of the film and the mpeg2 trailer file.

I figured it would build a psuedo BD and let me continue from there with BDRB copying the movie and re-encoding the trailer (now without the filter).

It isn't doing that. It STILL wants to re-encode the movie:

Apparently for BD5/9 discs there is no recognition if the video source is already compliant with AVCHD standard.

Also, I don't know if I'm alone on this, but I would think the AVS filter shouldn't (by default anyway) be applied to bonus features. Extras frequently aren't similar to the feature film and don't need the same treatment.

Finally, I now need some advice on how to rebuild what I've got. I have the film re-encoded in M2TS ready for BD5, but the trailer is still non-compliant mpeg-2. I have no idea how to rebuild this now.

Edit: Added FORCE_NOENCODE=1. It still want to encode that thing.
Edit 2: Okay, I've got a problem somewhere. Set BDRB with a BD-25 target and it still wants to re-encode. I'm lost.

When I tried to back it up to 2D I had the same issue you had. There's a bug in which some of the playlists are kept 3D and some are not, and it causees a lot of confusion. I'll see what I can do for the next release, but it looks like it's not going to be a simple matter.

Yes, I did as I quoted from it. I was responding to that post stating that I looked into both discs and the files that BD Rebuilder doesn't see do get referenced by the disc and I listed what those files contain, as well as, what accessed those files in the disc menu.

I know that you said that you're going to look into it. I just wanted to convey my findings and possibly help you out by providing the Blu-ray structure.

As I said before, "I Want To Believe" is one of the craziest discs that I've seen and would think that it would be a good test disc for you to use.


As it stands, I was simply stating that I'm currently unable to backup either of the X-Files movies because of these various issues.

Just in case you didn't know: You can control the application of the .avs scripts by using a prefix like f:, e: etc. It's documented in the changes.txt

Back by popular demand. From a previous post:

All settings that don't use the "a:" are assumed to be video. Some other prefixes:

i: means apply only to interlaced sources
p: means apply only to progressive sources
f: means apply only to the feature
e: means apply only to extras

The default of no prefix at all means apply it to all sources

They can be used together, for example:

f:a:Amplify(audio,1.25)

would mean to increase audio by 25% for the feature only.

I experienced and reported a similar problem some days ago. I found that the unwanted re-encoding was probably triggered by the selected resize option. Try to unselect the options (you don't need these for pure re-authoring), and your source should remain intact.
