While I was backing up my Planet Earth Blu-Ray I encountered a problem.

I selected each of the episodes as separately and put them into the batch. I then ran the batch and instead of 3 folders each with a separate episode, I had 1 folder with the last episode in it.

I looked at the batch and each playlist was named the same name. My assumption is that BD-Rebuilder overwrote each folder because they were named the same thing in the batch.

I found a work around by editing the batchbd.ini externally and renaming each play list separately.

The fix would be to either 1) Allow the renaming of each batch entry in the batch tab 2) Have BD-Rebuilder automatically rename a folder with numbers to denote a different one.

Hmmm... I'll look at it. What I might do is add a numeric extension to the name if the output folder already exists (when in batch mode).

I had a similar thought with Dvd rebuilder. I ran Batch once upon a time, with the output to the same directory. Needless to say, batch mode ran 4 jobs, and I ended up with only the final one completed. I learned my lesson that night LOL! ALWAYS change the ouput directory LOL! Or create an image file

BD Rebuilder v0.36.01 (beta)

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to a new version of BD-RB (v0.36.01). Changes for this release:
Code:
- Added the ability to create DVD backups of your
  blu-ray disc.  The backup can be selected under
  the "Alternate Movie-Only Output" when movie-
  only mode is in effect. A ready-to-burn structure
  is created in the working folder. Subtitles are
  not supported, expect them in a future release. 
- Added a new selection to the SETUP dialog called
  "Assume PAL for DVD Output".  This auto-converts
  non-PAL sources to 25fps, 720x576 (for DVD output
  only).
- Increased the BD-25 target size value slightly to
  use more of available space.
- Corrected an issue in which stopping BD-RB during
  audio encoding would leave the WAVI and AFTEN
  processes running.  As a result, restarting soon
  afterward could cause unpredictable anomalies in
  the audio, including sync and size issues.
- Changed an option in X264 command line that may
  have caused "crash" on certain types of sources.
- Added check to ensure original video is not kept
  intact when filter use is enabled.
- Removed inverse telecining from the streams menu.  
  Too many people don't understand IVTC and are 
  using it incorrectly.  If you wish to IVTC, just
  select it in SETUP.  If you want it back -- add
  the hidden value "IVTC_SELECTION=1" to the BD-RB
  configuration (INI) file.
- Added 720x480 and 720x576 as output options to
  Alternate output choices.  Note that you cannot
  use this size for iPOD output as it is larger
  than the 640x480 maximum for that device.
- Corrected an error in which the frame rate was
  set incorrectly for MP4 output when using 
  ALTERNATE output and IVTC was active.
- Fixed incorrect pass reporting during alternate
  output to MKV.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
  latest release (r1745).
- Updated the included version of X264-54.EXE to 
  the latest release (r1745).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

My workaround didn't work . I will try the editing of the output directory in the batch file.

Disney Blu-Ray artifacts

When I backup my kids Disney Blu-Ray discs there are what I call "artifacts", what looks like the picture being a bunch of squares with the playback.

When I look at the original stream folder I notice that the Disney Blu-rays have a lot more files than most of my other Blu-Rays. My guess is that the artifacts are occurring where the files are meshing together.

More likely it has to do with the bitrate of the reencoded files. Are you doing a full movie backup, and if so is it to BD5? Check to see what the BD-RB log file says the bitrate is for the .m2ts files you see the blocking on.

I am not reducing the size of the movie at all. Size is not an issue for me, I am backing up my discs to a NAS not burning them to another Disc. Quality is the most important thing to me.

Well if there is no reencoding, why would you suspect BD-RB is creating the blocking?

Because BD-Rebuilder is joining the various parts into 1 m2ts file. A feature I love, by the way.

Hi,

Just updated to 36.01, and ran 'inspect' just to check all was well.
It's not.
I'm getting: "FFDSHOW_RAW_AUDIO: Not recommended setting"

I've read and re-read the first post and cannot find anything saying what the recommended setting is.

I've just looked in Start-All Progs-ffdshow-audio decoder config.
It's a rather bewildering array of options!
The most likely candidate I can see is the very last one 'uncompressed', which is currently set to 'disabled'.
Hoping that I could just 'enable' it, I clicked the drop-down and was presented with a long list of possible data types.

So which parameter do I actually need to change, and what value do I need to change it to?

<edit>: Yes, I found a post that says it should be set to 'all supported', and inspect seems happy.
Would it be possible to update the first post to include a more comprehensive list of 'recommended settings'?

Thanks,
SC

I really don't see how that could cause blocking...

When you run BD Rebuilder the first time it will update it for you (assuming it has never been run before). The reason I added that check is that sometimes folks are reporting errors on WAV reencoding due to the fact that there is no directshow codec set to playback LPCM.

I'll update the first post.

I am but a novice in this you are the expert and the coder. All I can report is what I have observed in my use of the product, which I am a big fan of.

Every one of my Disney Blu-rays have the same problem. I will do a little more investigation to try and isolate the problem.

I'll do a couple with "FORCE_NOENCODE" set and see if it does it for me.

Are you playing back on a standalone player or a PC? I'm not seeing any issues on my standalone.

[Edit] I'm trying it again with some different settings...

DVD Output Option

Thanks for the DVD output option. I just did a BD25 to DVD5 re-encode of Toy Story 3. There are a few of things I noticed.
1. The target BD size says 22.90 GB.
2. The final output was only 4.06 GB (4,367,894,528 bytes) in size.
3. Would it be possible to have the HCencoder window visible while the re-encode is happening?

Code:
[08:04:37] BD Rebuilder v0.36.01 (beta)
  - Source:  TOY_STORY_3
  - Input BD size: 21.54 GB
  - Approximate total content: [01:42:33.344]

  - Windows Version: 6.1 [7600]
  - MOVIE-ONLY/ALTERNATE OUTPUT mode enabled
  - Mode: DVD-5, 720x480/576, AC3 Audio
