BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[rysktkr]

Hi jdobbs,

I just checked my source, the one I used bd rebuilder on and it plays fine (ie. no blocking). Any other ideas?

You missed the point. Something is likely intercepting the FFDSHOW CODEC while it is frame serving. The problem is in your system's configuration and there is really nothing I can do about it. It's likely some other program you have installed that has "gummed up the works". I can't fix something that isn't a problem in BD-RB -- and the fact that it is happening only on your system (especially at such a high bitrate) is proof positive that the problem is on your end.

I'd like to help you -- but there's really nothing I can do. Sorry.

I have updated the first post in this thread with links to a new release of BD-RB (v0.37.06). Changes for this version:

- Corrected a bug in which 1080i sources could be
  incorrectly reencoded as 1080p.
- Fixed an error that could cause MKV encoding to
  fail due to blank maximum bitrate in the command
  line.
- Corrected an issue in which the resume function
  was not functioning properly due to the recent
  implementation of HD audio selection checks.
- Correct a bug in which selecting "192Kbs" audio
  output in DVD-5/9 output was not first doing a
  conversion to 2 channel of multichannel sources.
- Made several improvements in bitrate calculation
  and threshold checks.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
  latest release (r1913).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE to 
  the latest release (r1913).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

BD-RB continues to work extremely well for me!

jdobbs,

Thanks for the additional info...time for me to do some more research.

Keep Up The Good Work thanx.

Think I might have found the issue. When installing FFDSHOW from page 1 link. The VC-1 video format is not installed as a default you have to select it. Haven't verified yet but I'm guessing Ragingbull is VC-1.

From your log:
-----------------------
[12:10:32] BD Rebuilder v0.37.04 (beta)
- Source: RAGING_BULL
- Input BD size: 34.00 GB
- Approximate total content: [02:09:03.819]
- Target BD size: 22.95 GB
- Windows Version: 5.1 [2600]
- MOVIE-ONLY mode enabled
- Quality: High Quality (Default), ABR
- Audio Settings: AC3=0 DTS=0 HD=1 Kbs=640
[12:10:32] PHASE ONE, Encoding
- [12:10:32] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00000]
- [12:56:07] Reencoding: VID_00000 (1 of 1)
- [12:56:07] Collecting video information
- Source Video: MPEG-4 (AVC), 1920x1080 - Rate/Length: 23.976fps, 185,666 frames
- Bitrate: 19,189 Kbs

If you have a codec pack or another video encoding program installed that uses a different codec than ffdshow, this is most likely the problem.

I'm into some trouble converting "King of Queens - Season 2" into a BD25.

The resulting image quality is fine, no doubt. But when I click "Play all episodes" it seems that BD-RB inserts some delays (black frames) between the chapters. Everytime the intro stops, the scene (chapter) changes or a new episode starts (all of this results in a chapter change) there's about 7 seconds of black frames which is very annoying.

This 7 seconds between the chapters is not in the source-BD and I played the BD-RB-converted BD in VLC and PowerDVD. Everytime the same issue.

Any idea how to fix that?

I've never seen or heard of that kind of issue. I'll have to see if I can find that series/disc for testing. Which disc is showing the symptom?

Hi!

I played the BD-RB-converted BD in VLC and PowerDVD

And how does the BD-RB-converted BD play on your standalone player?

[omegaman7]

Clearly I've been out of the loop a while. I haven't been receiving emails since the site went down a while back. I'm buying a few BD's this week, and will begin testing again on my primary Should be interesting, since my 965 Phenom has never seen the X264 process before

Thanks again for a wonderful software JD

@jdobbs:Question I'm sure many of us have is how soon would you be able to add feature to retain menus and movie only with out doing a full backup?

Remove any CODEC packs you may have installed (you don't need them with FFDSHOW). Then reinstall the BD-RB and the versions or HAALI, AVISYNTH and FFDSHOW in the first post of the thread. I think that will make your problems go away.

@jdobbs

Just wanted to let you know the v0.37.06 release resolved my issue. I tested again with the titles that failed with v0.37.05

Thanks again jdobbs !

You're very welcome.

I apologize for doing this Jdobbs. I've searched my computer drives, and the web, and cannot find a text file that I THOUGHT i made, for addressing Bd Rebuilders hidden options. What I mean is, I'd like to experiment with only using 2 and 3 cores FIRST on my 965 Phenom machine. I'm certain there's a way to do this, It's simply slipped my mind :S Is there a compiled list somewhere, of all the tweaks we can do to X264, and BD rebuilder? Thanks in advance

Any idea when we might be able to compress the 3D Blu Rays?

Try your BD_Rebuilder folder and open HIDDENOPTS.TXT

@Motley

Hi!

This thread is specifically for unearthing, reporting, and resolving problems related to beta testing.

If you look carefully at other threads in this sub-forum, you'll find one that is specifically for posting suggested additions/"wish lists"...

This may be what you are looking for.
