Jdobbs, does rebuilder take subtitles in to account when determining output size? I rarely do a DVD-5 output, but in this instance I elected to.
Fast five has more subtitles than a dozen dvds put together. The output ended up being 4491Mb. Only a bit over. Not a big deal really. But it is worth noting. Dvd shrink can take the unneeded subtitles away, without touching the encoded video. |

I think the other cases reported on AFTEN all have a solution (usually a bad source if I remember correctly). I don't know of any open ones... my debug list has none listed. Playback is NOT a way to check for a bad source. Even severely corrupted sources will playback -- errors are just ignored. Trying to reencode, on the other hand, is a different story. A corrupt source can stop it in it's tracks. As for environment variables -- I don't see the connection. I'll look at creating a new hidden switch that does the encode in two steps (one to WAV and the second to AC3). But that just raises the possible issue of files over 4GB. Again I ask -- what have you changed on your systems since the last time it worked? I would almost guarantee that is the issue. The way BD-RB does the audio encode hasn't changed in well over 2 years. In fact, with the exception of a change in the version of AFTEN it hasn't changed significantly since the first release.

The failure rate was so high, I basically gave up. I remember trying it successfully after you convinced me there was no need to keep the HD audio. But I need to verify this by looking at back posts to get an idea of the timeframe. So let me ask you, the dts hd has already been reduced to dts in the logs I posted over the past few days representing a reduction in perhaps 2.5 gb of space for the audio. How much further do I save by going to AC3, and is this conversion capable of the 7 channel sound? Basically I don't have a real need to compress to bd-5 but I was really interested in seeing what it could do. BD-25's cost in some cases less then the DVD dual layers. All this moaning, I still can tell you I have been 100% satisfied with BD-25 keeping the HD audio if worse came to worse. About the environmental variables, namely the path , it seems pretty obvious that stdin/out has to function on all the other applications or else none of the cmd.exe based applets( in the general meaning of the term) would be able to be integrated into your program which when performed on my machine is largely successful except for this one. |

Anyway, I'm obviously wrong in what I previously said about PowerDVD not being able to play BD-R discs. Sorry for the misinformation. |

Now you're second-guessing again as you did in previous post making illogical statements. I realize your knowledge of the working of this program and apparently Windows/DOS may be limited. But I keep feeling obliged to answer because others who are reading this thread may not realize that they are illogical. To answer this one: 1. Environment variables (including the path) are not applicable (as I already said). BD-RB always uses fully qualified paths. That should be obvious since you've been looking at the command line I gave you. Quote:
I don't mean to be harsh -- but I've been spending a lot of time and have been very patient helping you with a problem that is specific only to you. And the response I get is you throwing inapplicable comments and continually inaccurate/incorrect information back at me. Sorry but I'm giving up on this bug report.

Anyway, I don't consider this to be a BDRB bug, so I shouldn't belabour the point anymore in this thread. |

[QUOTE=jdobbs;So those formats are converted to PCM using AVISYNTH and NicAudio() with WAVI.EXE and fed to AFTEN. [/QUOTE]
Directshow source doesn't seem to be working either. LCPM multi source , wavi.exe and cmd.exe running for an hour with no progress or error message. I know... |

It works exactly the same way as NicAudio(). The problem isn't within BD-RB. I'm repeating myself, but your problem appears to be that any attempt to pass data through stdin/stdout between programs is not working. That's an operating system issue. There is really nothing I can do.

There have been reports of anti-virus software causing various conflicts, so you could investigate if that applies to your situation. Beyond that I do not have much else to offer. |

But now you've got me thinking that PowerDVD might just say that anything without a menu isn't valid. I'll test that theory by making a "full backup" to a BD-RE disc and see if that makes any difference. |

@sonate
Remember this: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\wavi.exe "D: \BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" - | c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tool s\aften.exe -v 1 -b 640 -readtoeof 1 - "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\00001.tr ack_4352.AC3" Well I just realized that this command line uses the wrong output filename. That name is the actually the same as the input file (within the AVS) and is probably overwriting the source and causing the error. So we might be back to square one. Run the job again (up to the point it fails) and then try this command instead and see if it completes, or (more likely) gives a different error: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tools\wavi.exe "D: \BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AVS" - | c:\accessories\BD_Reb\tool s\aften.exe -v 1 -b 640 -readtoeof 1 - "D:\BD REB WORK FOLDER\WORKFILES\AUD_00001_4352.AC3" |
