@jdobbs
I noticed that a 24.00fps 1920x1080p source gets per default converted to 23.976 fps during file import, and the audio is slowed down accordingly. Couldn't it be left untouched at 24fps because it is Blu-Ray compliant? Not that the slight slowdown really matters, it just requires a re-encoding (video + audio) and prevents to burn the compliant IMPORT folder without re-encoding. For Quick Play reauthoring the disc, the 24.00 fps is however kept intact. This brings up a second question: How would an imported 25fps 1920x1080i source be processed? Would it also be framerate converted during import or left untouched as 25i, assuming I don't deinterlace it? (When I find a 1920x1080i25 source I'll try out myself to see what happens). |

25fps should import without conversion. I do, though, have a hidden option (IMPORT_PAL_TO_FILM) that will convert it to 23.976 for non-PAL countries and for sources that were originally film -- but I know that one also adjust the audio. Last edited by jdobbs; 9th July 2017 at 22:20. |

What I've never understood is why the Blu-ray group never included 25p as a frame rate. It is only 1fps away from 24p, which is supported. It was very illogical. Last edited by MrVideo; 9th July 2017 at 23:58. |

Thanks kindly mate! Yeah, I've done hundreds of searches when I'm looking to put together some covers or disc art, and I've found a number of excellent sites where people come up with some good stuff. Some times I use theirs untouched, especially the disc art, but many times, especially for multiple box series like STAR TREK: TNG or the James Bond series, I kind of want the box art to look consistently a certain way and then create a template.

In the case of ST:TNG, the artwork that has been released is for all seven seasons. For pretty much any TV series, either scanned artwork, or custom artwork, can be found. For further discussion, let's move this to a PM conversation.

As I've posted above, that is only part of the issue. The other is that using a S/PDIF/coax connection to the amp requires a core, as that connection only supports the core bitrates. No core, no audio.

For me, that is unrealistic. For a 24 episode season, that means at least four episodes a disc. But, at 6GB an episode, that takes up more space than the disc contains. Hence the reason for trying to keep the EAC3 file, if at all possible. |

Will BD-Rebuilder encode fail if a file can't be read from the source bluray?
Example: Ripping Minions 3D, the ripper fails on a .SSIF file when ripping the disc to folder on HD, or ISO file. However, if I fire up BD-REbuilder, set Alt-MovieOnly-MKV and point it to the Bluray drive as the source, it completes processing fine. Should I expect the output MKV to be ok? |

Even though BD-RB completes without error it could still be that the encode shows some glitches if something failed during the source decoding process. You would have to check the final result carefully. |

Out of curiosity, how does BDRebuilder choose where to split files? Is there some sort of scene change detection that keeps it from cutting in the middle of a scene and potentially (albeit very slightly) reducing compression efficiency?

I assume you mean when multiprocessing is enabled. A BD contains information as to where a reasonable percentage of the I-frames in a stream are located (it's used for chapter skipping, fast forwarding, etc.). All scenes begin on an I frame. BD-RB uses that information to choose a split point that starts on an I-frame and is nearest a location that evenly distributes the encoding between the multiple encode processes. When you are doing a backup, all scenes and chapter points, etc, are maintained from the original authoring.
