If you want to set the vbv maxrate/buffer to some value -- let's use 25000 and 20000 as an example. You'd add the following to the [Options] area of the config/ini file:

TWEAK_ALTERNATE=--vbv-maxrate 25000 --vbv-bufsize 20000

You don't have to worry about repeating something that is already in the command line -- because earlier settings will be overridden by later settings in the command line.

Those X264 command line options are documented here.

Just remember that the tweak only applies to unrestricted MKV and MP4 output (cType=1 or 5). In other words, it doesn't apply to presets for iPod & iPad, for example. That's because these types of settings could make them incompatible with their target.
Sorry jdobbs that i confused you. That LASTCMD file was just an example of how it could look after tweaking.
I understand now how to change vbv maxrate/buffer. I'm going to try it out this night and let you know what the results are. Thanks!

Hi. I selected Full Backup before importing 5 iPad 2 videos (720p). Only 2 show in the list, as I wrote about previously. After they were imported, all the AAC were converted to AC-3. I burned the PSEUDO from Imports....and same results as before. This time I set BD-RB to High-Speed Encode. Then burned the output project once the 5 file's video and audio were rerendered. Which means the Audio were rerendered twice, probably because I didn't check the settings in SETUP. Doh! Anyway, skipping that for now.. The 2 of 5 showing in the Full Backup list where rerendered to 1920x1080@29.97fps and without the "jerky" sound. The other 3 were left at original except for AAC to AC-3.

Note that I have Edit on in these tests.
Now switching to Movies & Menus and importing.

Code:
[20:32:41] Importing: GLACIER
- [20:32:42] Importing video file: (1 of 5)
  - Preparing MOV for processing...
  - Collecting audio/video streams from source...
  - Converting audio, Track #2, AAC to AC3...
  - Integrating into pseudo-BD structure...
- [20:32:52] Importing video file: (2 of 5)
  - Preparing MOV for processing...
  - Collecting audio/video streams from source...
  - Converting audio, Track #2, AAC to AC3...
  - Integrating into pseudo-BD structure...
- [20:32:59] Importing video file: (3 of 5)
  - Preparing MOV for processing...
  - Collecting audio/video streams from source...
  - Converting audio, Track #2, AAC to AC3...
  - Integrating into pseudo-BD structure...
- [20:33:09] Importing video file: (4 of 5)
  - Preparing MOV for processing...
  - Collecting audio/video streams from source...
  - Converting audio, Track #2, AAC to AC3...
  - Integrating into pseudo-BD structure...
- [20:33:18] Importing video file: (5 of 5)
  - Preparing MOV for processing...
  - Collecting audio/video streams from source...
  - Converting audio, Track #2, AAC to AC3...
  - Integrating into pseudo-BD structure...
- [20:33:25] Creating Quick-Play Menu...
   - Encoding menu background...
   - Building menu structure...
[20:33:29] Video import completed successfully.
In the list all videos are set to be blanked except the menu. Unchecking them and having BD-RB preform a Backup.

That produced an output of all at 1080p@29.97fps and correct audio. I'll change audio setting in SETUP and see if that stops the rerendering..after clicking "Backup".

So, it looks like the bug I reported with Die Hard 4 is also part of the Import for Full Backup??

Is it possible only two showed in the list because of the IMPORT_THRESHOLD size? That's usually the case.

The second encode is necessary. The first one is simply part of the import in order to make it possible to put in BD format (AAC isn't allowed). The second encode (during the backup) is required to convert the audio to 48k sample rate. I wish I could do both in the AAC->AC3 conversion, but I couldn't find a parameter in FAAD or Aften that resamples -- and it has to be converted in order to continue the import.

I thought i understood it, but i'm doing something wrong, i don't know what.
TWEAK_ALTERNATE=--vbv-maxrate 35000 --vbv-bufsize 30000. vbv maxrate/buffer didn't change. I also tried your example TWEAK_ALTERNATE=--vbv-maxrate 25000 --vbv-bufsize 20000. vbv maxrate/buffer changed either.

LASTCMD: "C:\BD_Rebuilder\tools\x264.exe" "D:\BD-RB WORK\WORKFILES\VID_00011.AVS" --preset slow --bluray-compat --ref 4 --b-adapt 1 --b-pyramid none --weightp 1 --qpmin=0 --bitrate 10166 --level 4.1 --qpfile "D:\BD-RB WORK\WORKFILES\VID_00011.CHP" --aud --nal-hrd vbr --pic-struct --vbv-bufsize 15000 --keyint 48 --min-keyint 1 --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-maxrate 15000 --threads auto --slices 4 --thread-input --stats "D:\BD-RB WORK\WORKFILES\VID_00011.AVS.264.stats" --pass 2 --output "D:\BD-RB WORK\WORKFILES\VID_00011.AVS.264"

Ahhhhh....Illumination about the AAC -> AC-3....dawns. I thought you were ignoring, missing or something!! NOW I get why the clicking Backup matters. That's been a puzzler for me for a bit. Thank You. Now I'll leave that spot on my head alone. Laughing!

@jdobbs
Thanks for the update.
Some issues which I found with v0.45.04, Quick-Play backup to BD9:

- The CERTIFICATE folder is still missing. (I did NOT select Strict AVCHD).
- The menu background video has been replaced by the static stars picture. I have the "Attempt to find original Background" selected. The former version included the video. Did you replace the video by the static picture because of the too high bitrate of the original Video for BD9? If so, any plans to compress the video in future?
- It seems that the menu still got messed up in my case. I did NO threshold changes.

My configuration: (titles.inf of the source; looks correct to me))
[Titles]
Title=BREAKING BAD Season 5 Disk 1
Threshold=21600000
00090=Extra 1 [00:12:38.799]
00092=Extra 3 [00:11:00.701]
00099=Extra 2 [00:10:37.036]
00121=LEBE FREI ODER STIRB
00122=MADRIGAL
00123=GEFAHRENZULAGE
00124=51
[Position]
00090=5
00092=0
00099=6
00121=1
00122=2
00123=3
00124=4
[Selected]
00090=-1
00092=0
00099=-1
00121=-1
00122=-1
00123=-1
00124=-1

What I got after encoding: (titles.inf of the target; looks incorrect to me)
[Titles]
Title=BREAKING BAD Season 5 Disk 1
00000=Extra 3 [00:11:00.701]
00001=LEBE FREI ODER STIRB
00002=MADRIGAL
00003=GEFAHRENZULAGE
00005=Extra 1 [00:12:38.799]
00006=Extra 2 [00:10:37.036]

- Episode 4 (item 00124 with name 51) is missing in the titles.inf on the target, but the corresponding .m2ts file for Episode 4 does exist on the target.
- Extra 3 (which I unselected) is put in first position and still exists as encoded .m2ts file on the target i.e. it was not removed for authoring.

It's just what I see from the titles.inf. As it looks wrong to me I didn't burn the disc ...... (wrong conclusion?)

Added:
And when I now open the encoded BD9 in DB-RB and start the Quick Play Menu Editor, I am getting again something different, and right clicking / Preview This Item even plays the wrong files ....

Yes, I set the backdrop to the default because the source would require reencoding when outputting to BD-5/9. But I plan to add a reencode of the menu backdrop to the lower maximum bitrate so it is retained in the next release. I didn't have time to do it this time -- but I didn't want to create backdrops that cause the disc to fail.

I'll look at the CERTIFICATE thing again.

I'll do some testing with the Quick-Play authoring. I did quite a bit before posting this version, but apparently I must have missed something. That extra with a "0" for position shouldn't be in the output. Ughhh... I was hoping to take a break for a couple days, but I don't want to leave that sort of thing unaddressed.

@jdobbs (re: Man of Steel)

After choosing to continue several times, despite seeing several messages stating that the resultant compressed disc would eventually be too big (due to audio and subtitles), the full disc compressed package created by BD-RB was something on the order of 10.18GB. Although most everything was processed properly, some of the extras were not.

So, I simply made a 25GB full disc, with no problems...

[19:08:45] - Failed video encode, aborted

Any idea what I have done wrong? I guess it must be caused by setting the multiprocess option enabled....

I would really appreciate your help.
See the things color in red, you need to fix them and they can be fixed by running BD-rb in admin mode and it should ask along lines of you system is not configured... would like me to do it for you, say yes to dialog box. If it doesn't appear you may have to start over by deleting whole folder.

If done correctly inspect.exe report would look like one shown below

Just tested the quickplay feature. Menu works great in PowerDVD but I only get the background (some static stars?) and no way to progress or select anything on my Sony BDP-S480. Any ideas?

I found why only 2 of 5 are showing. I had output set to "Target Size BD-25". When switched to BD-5/9 then all 5 show in the list including the menu; in Full Backup.

To get around the AAC -> AC-3 then AC-3 again, what about AAC to WAV making changes to it, then encode to AC-3? Using an uncompressed WAV it would be less degradation to the audio, right? Maybe detection for MOV files so it's the only time it's activated in such a way during Import? Your thoughts?

That's what you are always doing when you convert from one codec to another. FAAD gives you WAV output that is fed directly into AFTEN via pipe (which encodes to AC3). It's possible to keep it WAV for the mux... but it gets huge and slows things down. In most cases the source is 48Kbs already making the second encode unnecessary, and if you don't reencode from AAC to AC3 the first time, and decide to burn directly from the encode -- you're stuck with the huge audio. For many encodes that would also mean required video encoding to hit the target (PCM audio is huge) when it shouldn't be necessary.

The ideal solution would be to do the sample rate conversion in that same step as the AAC->AC3 conversion. I'm looking to see if I can find a tool that accepts pips for input, allows a pipe for output and resamples. That way it could be plugged into the command line. If I can't find one I can always write one.

Converting to AC3 at 640Kbs or higher (for 6 channels) has been proven to be undetectable to the human ear. Which means it is just as good as WAV from a practical standpoint. But there's no denying that too many conversions will eventually degrade audio.

No such luck. I had a 3TB hard drive go bad this morning. It had a huge number of various sources on it used for testing. I don't want to have to try and create all those again. I'm in the middle of trying to recover it.

It is still not working.I went through the same process several times without any success, namely after clicking "yes" BD-RB is not going even to start....However, after trying to restart my computer windows says that BD-RB is still open and if I really want to force restart and close the program. So far I haven't experienced any similar issue yet.

Did you run it with administrative privileges?

Yes, for sure. I am quite sure now that I would have to change to an administrative profile also. I think it is not enough for some reason on my computer to use administrative privileges in my own profile. I have to change to an admin profile and reinstall all your packages. It is just assumption because it was not required for any other program I am currently using.

You can set those manually, but it's a bit of a pain. But it really needs to be done for BD-RB to run correctly. If you have admin privileges, all you have to do is right click on the BD-RB executable and select "Run as Administrator".
