No. The Hi-Speed option is pretty much the fastest you can get with X264 while remaining BD compliant... in most cases it is fine for a BD-25. The setting I recommended (GOOD/ABR) is what I believe to be a good balance of speed and quality that can be used with confidence for all BD-25 encodes. For BD-9/5 encodes -- I would always recommend "High Quality". It takes a long time -- but when you're compressing that much you need to use X264's best bells-and-whistles.

jdobbs, first off - great program. I ran into my first problem that I've been unable to get around, It has to do with a BD Season type disk, Weeds Season 4 to be exact. I do a full disk backup to BD25 from a 48GB source (the disks contain 8 episodes). Everything runs normally and I create the disk in imgburn with no errors anywhere along the way from rencode to final disk. Problem becomes that the disk plays fine in a software player but in my Panasonic BD55 evrything works fine through the menu selection, the episode starts with the DTS HD spashscreen all the way through and then it freezes -right where the episode would start. To validate it was a good rip from AnyDVD, I burned an unprocessed full image to BD50 (it plays fine on the player) then use that for the source into BDRebuilder. Any ideas for what I could try to do differently? I upgraded from 3.1.06 to 3.1.08 - no change

I actually use high-quality for ALL my encodes...with today's fast machines, it is usually just an over-nighter...I only goto BD-25 as well.

Now highest quality....tried one...cancelled after 1.5 days LOL!!!

Is there a huge quality difference between High Quality and Hi-Speed Option (BD-25)? I'm backing up BD-50 to BD-25. Should i be using BD-25 or custom size (23450)?

I use custom size of 23,675 for BD25 encodes - it is close to the max size of a 25 GB BD disc - but leaves room enough for any oversized output that might happen - I am not an expert - but this has worked for me w/o problem so far (50 encodes at least) - As far as the speed setting - someone else has to answer that question - I always use one pass option - good picture IMO.

anyone else having trouble backing up surrogates?

decrypted using dvdfab 6.2.0.5 full rip

full bd-25 backup 2pass, custom tatrget size 24000, highest(very slow) encoder settings, english only audio and all subtitles included, keep hd audio for bd25 encoding selected.

when i play the finished bd-re in my player i get the first menu then a blank screen and it stops there nothing else i had the same problem with transformers 2 and xmen 2 which i never solved i have 28 others that were 100% succesful and super quality

Thanks jdobbs for a great program

Can't say for sure, but my guess is that it has something to do with dvdfab, because I used AnyDVD and did all three of those titles with no issues whatsoever... AnyDVD is very definitely worth what you pay for it. Hundreds of reencodes, zero issues. Of course it could also be a difference between your player and mine -- but that just doesn't seem to be the most likely cause.

Do you think you could download the trial version of AnyDVD, give it a try, and let me know if the same thing happens? It would be good to know.

I will give it a go and let you know

This on Win7 x64 and BD-RE v0.31.08.

Tried to re-encode In The Loop (UK). First 15 titles (from VID_0000 to VID_00014) were no problem for x264.exe. They contained video encoded as MPEG-2/576i/25fps, AVC/576i/25fps and AVC/1080p/23.98fps. VID_00015 is AVC/1080i/25fps and crashes x264.exe constantly.

I realise this is not BD-RE's fault but figured it won't hurt to let jdobbs know about it.

I doubt it's x264's fault either.

OK. What could it be, any ideas?

I did surrogates with no problems, I did have a problem with gamer playing in the PS3, I finally figured out it was BD-Live, I re-ripped the BD-Rebuilder output of Gamer and removed BD-Live, re-burned it and it plays fine now. Not sure if this would work for you. I also used AnyDVD HD to rip it.

Please post your log. Also, what versions of FFDSHOW, AVISYNTH, and HAALI are you using? Also, are you overclocked? You're not using 64 bit versions of any of the support software are you? That has a history of issues.

BTW, not a one-to-one but I did the US version of "In the Loop" with no problems.

Sounds like you're not using the latest version. It's not only disabled -- it no longer exists. You force subtitles by right clicking on the one you want to enable in the STREAMS list. Please note that it only works when you are using movie-only mode.

Hello,

i have a question and a little problem.

First thanks for BD_Rebuilder.
It's a great program and the quality is amazing
I've encoded a lot of BD's and all of them are fine.

A few days ago i had problems with 2 Discs.
One Disc was Batman Returns and the other was Urban Legends.

I've used BD-RB 31.06 (Updated today to 31.08)

Here my settings:

[Options]
MODE=0
QUICK_EXTRAS=1
PRIORITY_CLASS=0
RESIZE=0
AUDIO_TO_KEEP=deu;
SUBS_TO_KEEP=deu;
TRELLIS=1
COLOR_BOOST=0
RESIZE_1080=0
DTS_REENCODE=0
AC3_REENCODE=0
AC3_640=1
KEEP_HD_AUDIO=1
AVCHD=0
AUDIO_TRACK_LIMIT=0
SUBTITLE_TRACK_LIMIT=0
CUSTOM_TARGET_SIZE=24100
ENCODE_QUALITY=0
TARGET_SIZE=24100
AUTO_BURN=0
VERBOSE_STATUS=1
REMOVE_WORKFILES=1
SD_CONVERT=0
ONEPASS_ENCODING=2

At both Discs i get the same error.
This one is from Urban Legends

[16:51:33] Reencoding audio tracks (if req'd)
 - ERROR in attempt to reencode audio (AFTEN) [AUD_00168__4352.WAV]
[16:51:34] - Failed to reencode audio, aborted

Dont know what it is, all other Discs works fine.
I've checked the Files.It was a Trailer.

To solve this problem i've changed the mt2s File.
I removed the Trailer m2ts File and inserted a litte m2ts File from the beginning of the Disc. Renamed it correctly and the encoding works fine.

Played the encoded Disc from HDD with a Software Player and instead of the Trailer the player plays the File i've inserted.
All is fine.

Can i do this with every Bluray Disc?
Remove Warnings and other crap, replace it with short Blackscreen m2ts Files, rename it like the original ones and encode the Disc?

I want to keep the Menu and Extras, but i want to remove warnings and logos..-

I wouldn't just replace the M2TS file. If you want to do it right you need to also create a CLPI and MPLS that matches it. Sometime soon I'll be adding an ability to blank trailers, extras, etc.

I'll pick up "Urban Legends" and see if I can repeat the issue.

So if i burn Urban Legends now, the PS3 has a problem to play it, or should it work fine?

Do you have a tutorial for creating CLPI and MPLS File?

It's not really "tutorial" kind of material.

It may work... it all depends. I'd try a rewritable first.

My Sony PS3 dont like Sony BD-RE Discs


Could the encoding problem be a problem of ripping with DVDFab?

I rip the Urban Disc again right now with the Red Fox and try to encode again with 31.08

Let's see what happens...

Another little question.
I've encoded all my Discs with High Quality (Default) and 2pass.
It takes about 6-12 Hours. (Length of the movie)

I've read that you say that you encode at Good and 1pass ABR.
Tested it and BD-RB says it takes round about 2 Hours, for all the extras and the Main Movie.

Is there a big Quality difference between High Quality 2pass and Good 1pass?

The time saving is very well.
