The signature thing is no big deal -- it just bothers me that they do it without asking or being told to do so.

The weird thing is that adding the "--bframes 3" is actually redundant. The default value is 3. I only use it in the command line because I like to be explicit on values that are outlined in the standard.

While it is running, can you open up Task Manager, click on "Details", and then on CPU (so it orders by CPU usage) and see how much memory X264.exe is using?

The H.264 Process uses roughly 3GB

Meanwhile I installed BDRB freshly on a VM and there I have no issues on the same settings (I didn't try more, as that one is really slow) and the process uses around 800MB. Autocrop is also working...

So my encoding machine seems to be messed up somehow
Sorry for all the trouble...

Interesting. On my system it is using about 2.5GB when it is executing an x264 reencode of a 2160p source. That is on a system that has a total memory amount of 8GB.

I wonder what is causing the difference? I have to guess that x264 is allocating memory based on what is available -- and somehow it might be making a mistake or pushing it to a "too much" point. The other possibility might be an issue with your memory. I've see it happen before where glitches go away by simply removing and reseating the memory modules (I've experienced that one personally). But, you'd think that would show somewhere else as well (unless other apps are never needing that much memory and the "glitch" point is never being reached).

Howls Moving Castle

I'm having a problem with Howls Moving Castle. Options are Alternative Output, h265, auto-aac, mkv. Notice the Duration in the 4 sections.

The movie is only 1:59, but in General its 3:53, its like its doubling the time the Text Durations, then using the longest time from Video, Audio & Text for the General Duration. This was made with BD-61.05.

Ive deleted the temp files but if necessary & can run it again & include them.

Thanks.

Ive deleted the temp files but if necessary & can run it again & include them.

Thanks.
That is a really weird one. The only explanation I can see is that somehow either: 1) The PGS files have something off within them (either in the original or created by TSMUXER during demux). or 2) MKVMERGE is somehow misreading the timestamps in the PGS file when it is creating the MKV.

@Lathe - Are you using your SSD while encoding? It might wear it out faster, but a spinning platter drive could be a limiting factor. Also, what are you using to decode? On my previous system (FX-8350) I got a 10% bump in performance using x264's internal LAVF versus my vid card. The reason is the internal LAVF is the only way to take advantage of a 64-bit pipe in BD RB. I have to assume a Ryzen 5 would be even better.

@AmigaFuture - Oh, God. I'm glad someone else said it. I'm running two drives with two OS's right now that I swap between. I'm TRYING to ease myself into Win10 and I hate it. It's ugly, bloated and clunky. It'll take forever to root out all the M$ crap and tweak it to function smoothly like Win7.
Hey Bro, sorry to reply so late (Doom9 has NEVER sent prompts of replies) Yeah, I am using my new M2 SSD which I believe plugs directly into the MOBO. Supposed to be pretty fast. Interestingly, since this last comment a month or more ago when I use the x264 CMD line it does seem to utilize the CPU more. I'll hafta go back now and figure out WTH I was talking about

Sorry, just seeing this now, that's great

Food... SO overrated...

I have dreaded the work associated with building a new PC but maybe your experience will inspire me! In the Fall!
Well, I can't really take any credit. There is this shop with these guys who have been here nearby forever who work on computers. So, I gave one of them a quick call, gave them my sad story, basically stated what I wanted hardware wise and what I had, ran the actual parts by him to get his opinion, bought them from Amazon, had him build it.

@AmigaFuture I know, I know about W10, believe me. But, it was just the simplest option for the fellow building it. Otherwise we would be talking about 'ghosting' my old SSD drive and the old OS, etc., etc... It was just WAY more simple to buy the new faster M2 SSD drive from him with W10 already installed and used as the primary OS drive. He didn't even charge me for the OS. It's been fine though. It is really a no-brainer simply using Classic Start easily to get it to look like W7. And, it is just faster. I've never used the 'tiles' and all that crap since W8 anyway. There ARE a few little quirks here and there, but overall it is much faster and sleeker (of course the new generation SSD drive helps I'm sure )

Hey, sorry about the late reply, but thanks Bro, appreciate it!

Double blind tests show that (other than the additional channels available available in HD formats) Dolby Digital 5.1 at 640Kbs is indistinguishable from an lossless original audio source. Okay, time to step down off my soapbox.

What can I do to help you with this?

FOUND IT!

There is a similar problem here which put me to the right direction.
The commandline states "--threads auto" ... that might do for 99% of the systems. But I build that machine mainly for encoding, with 2 Xeon 2699v3, that sum up (with hyperthreading) to 72 threads total.
Every thread of x264 uses a certain amount of RAM, which breaks the memory limitation of 32bit apps

I guess disabling hyperthreading ("--threads 36" is working with 2.8 GB RAM used) will solve the problem for me, but if someone builds a similar system or uses one of the mean AMD Threadrippers, they will also run into that Problem.
[edit] Read a little more: "--threads auto" creates 1.5 times CPU cores threads for encoding... So even with Hyperthreading switched off the encode would fail on my machine

Uh, I kinda feel bad asking this amongst the more serious cutting edge stuff that you've been working on here (which I've just been catching up on and is truly amazing guys!) But, it's been a while since I used BDRB and I THOUGHT that I remembered that if you input a file that was not BR compliant, say an MKV file with the dimensions of 1920x800, that BDRB would automatically see that and using AVS would add borders to bring it up to compliance. BUT... maybe once you take that MKV file and put it through TSMuxer to put it into a BDMV folder format and THEN input that into BDRB, apparently it does not seem to do that but even setting the output size slightly smaller (to force re-encoding) the dimensions of the resulting m2ts file are unchanged...???

So, is that the deal then, whatever is INSIDE the BDMV folder is left untouched when inputted into BDRB, and borders are not automatically added?

I'm doing it over now and I simply added the AVS script to add borders, and of course in checking the processing .264 file it is now going to be compliant when it is done. I guess I had always thought that BDRB did that automatically with anything out of specification.

I cant recall if any DVD's imported into BD-RBD ever failed the "auto crop black borders", I think, from memory, maybe there were a few.

However, I mainly do 1080P Blu-ray sources, using X265 to process the encode.

I rough guess would be about 1 in 10 Blu-ray sources fail when "auto crop black borders" is selected.

Again, "from memory" I think I tested one encode with X264 when one encode failed using X265, and I believe it also failed, so both X265 and X264 failed with "auto crop black borders" selected for that encode.

Next encode that fails, I will try both x264 and x265.

I'll recheck and see if that option is actually necessary. If not I'll remove it, otherwise I'll create a hidden option to remove it.

[Edit] Actually that won't work because the default value is "auto". But... there is a HIDDEN option in BD-RB that will set the number of threads you want to use:

THREADS=n

n is the number of threads to use. The limit is 16. I may have to look at increasing that limit. X264 has a limit of 128, but they say "realistically you should never set it this high".

It is not automatically resized or padded during import. So you can have a pseudo-BD structure (thus the name) that contains a video stream that is not resized to be compliant.

But... when you run a job against that structure, the resizing occurs during reencoding and the output is compliant.

Ok thanks for the info.

Does anyone know how to get around the issue when making BD-25 Full backups of 3D movies without the pixelization/artifacts that show up every second of the playback using software players? (I have not seen the issue using a hardware player). But searching the forum I can see it happens to others, but not sure if there ever was a workaround found?
