I am going to use QTGMC deinterlacer, I have tested it in BD-RB and the results were great. You should give it a try in my opinion. The output can be (depending on the source) at single or double-frame rate. Enabling double-frame rate output would be much better but as you told that will violate the BD-standard, although almost surely playable on current players.

Hmmm ... but many blu-ray players will spit non-compliant discs out (like mine for example), and jdobbs will get all the complaints ....
So if at all 1080p could be a Alternate output option in BD-RB.
Almost always I encode 1080i as interlaced, or exceptionally as 720p bobbed (double rate) which is blu-ray compliant. Especially for shaky hand-held videocam clips I don't like to loose temporal resolution.

No matter how "good" the deinterlace filter is, you are still trying to combine two separate fields into a single frame. The more the spacial time difference between the fields, the more the vertical resolution is affected.

The only "deinterlacing" that I do really isn't and that is because I do IVTC on 2:3 pulldown 29.97 video to 23.976. In that case the fields are left intact. Pure 1080i I leave well enough alone.

It depends on the player. Some of them (especially PC software) either play it really poorly, or deinterlace it poorly. If it's going to be deinterlaced at playback anyway, it may be better to just do it with a (better) deinterlacer of your choice.

[DoctorM]

You could always go with 720p60. Sure you are losing a little resolution on width, but the height of 1080i is really only 540 lines once you separate fields. There's minimal quality loss, all the frame rate, and it is BD compliant.

Still, most modern electronics handle interlaced content just fine. Deinterlacing is really unnecessary.

I'll take a look at #1. But for all the others -- you just can't do deinterlacing through the use of filters. There's no way for BD-RB to know that you are doing it -- and therefore change the settings in the output so it is flagged as progressive.

I may be able to create a way in which you can setup an independent filter and (possibly) select it via DEINTERLACER_TYPE=5, or maybe create a new flag that assumes progressive. I'd have to look at it.

@jdobbs
After playing a bit with all the four of the letters the only "issue" I found is that p: affects interlaced sources as well. The other letters seem to be functioning as they should.

Ok. Thanks.

[Edit] Got it. The only time it should be included on an interlaced source is if you have deinterlacing turned on (meaning you are converting to progressive). The code I was using was logically backwards.

Fixed for the next release.

Woohoo! High 5!

[AmigaFuture]

I made some MKVs from my TiVo MPEG-2 sources so I could include the Closed Captions extracted from the MPEG-2's. Then I had BD-RB import the MKVs. During the Multiplexing process of the first video a pop-up displays this error as it's at the end of the process.

[Update 1]: I don't know what's causing it, yet, but if I exit BD-RB after the prompt, and run it again and resume...it does the multiplexing and continues to the next encode. I'm still testing and haven't played the results.

[AmigaFuture]

I have another odd bug. Once after another I imported an MPEG-2 to be sure BD-RB would handle it. Once that was confirmed, I deleted IMPORT and WORKFILES directories after exiting BD-RB, which shouldn't be required. Run BD-RB again, this time select the file in the list as a group to active the Menu Editor. I selected bottom to top to keep the numbering correct. This is what happened.

For your information, I then used MKVMerge, first time without SRT files and it imported well. Then, exited BD-RB, deleted IMPORT and created MKVs again with SRT files. So far importing fine. I'll check the rendering next...to see if it fails like with MPEG-2..

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.50.08). Changes for this release:

- Corrected an error in which, rarely, a BD
  import may not recognize an episode on a
  series disc.
- Updated the BD import routines so they make
  proper adjustments for M2TS audio delays.
- Added a new setting for ALTERNATE output.
  You can now select a target output size for
  CRF encoding. BD-RB will perform prediction
  passes to determine the proper CRF value.
- Corrected an issue when using Dynamic Range
  Compression with LPCM sources that could
  cause the audio to be blanked.
- Fixed checks so that AVISYNTH 2.6 will now
  be accepted and listed as "Ok".
- Changed code so audio reencoding is forced
  if DRC has been selected to be applied.
- Added new experimental CRF prediction code
  that can use fewer passes.  To enable it
  see NEW_CRF_PREDICTION in HIDDENOPTS.TXT.
- Improved DVD import's recognition of playall
  PGCs and fixed a rare possibility of on of
  the episodes in series discs.
- Modified code so the state of the manually
  selected IVTC items in the stream list is
  retained during batch processing.
- Updated the recommended LAV Filters version
  to v0.65.  Updated link in README.TXT.
- Updated code to select the 64 bit version
  of X265 when run on a 64 bit O/S.
- Added X265 64 bit build to install package.
- Updated the included version of X265 to a
  newer release (08/23/2015).
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to 
  the latest release (r2597).
- Updated the included version of X264-64.EXE 
  to  the latest release (r2597).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

Now that accepts AVIsynth 2.6, I note that on the homepage is still 2.58, it means that works best with version 2.58?

No. It just implies that 2.6 isn't required.

Sorry, it is not a bug but could you please check why I have got this message from PayPal after trying to donate?:

"This recipient is currently unable to receive money."

I have tried many times with the same result.

Thank you.

[soneca]

jdobbs, thanks for the new version!

I haven't downloaded the new version yet, but I wanted to check 50.7, and yep, same message. Heading there now...and whoops:

On the first page:

CURRENT VERSION 0.50.09 (September 13th, 2015)
[..]
You can download the BD-RB beta from this link: BD-RB v0.50.08.

Paypal decided my software (DVD-RB) was somehow circumventing copyright. I explained very clearly to them that it did not. I explained that DVD-RB in no way did anything to decrypt or affect copyright in any way. They didn't care, they didn't listen, and in fact just cut me off saying the decision was final and it wasn't eligible for appeal.

So donations are not currently possible -- and, needless to say, I'm not very happy with Paypal. As a result, I'm likely to just make DVD-RB Pro available for free along with BD-RB. You'll notice the donation tab missing from BD-RB v0.50.08. I'm not sure whether I will spend any more time in development. If so it will be very little time. I've been continuing for a long time making virtually nothing on this project -- but removing the "virtually" may be the last straw.

[AmigaFuture]

Youch! As soon as I run the new version I knew something was happening. Well, I might end my dealing with Paypal if they're going to be that unaware and inform others I know to shift their business. Hmm!! What about Google Wallet, WePay, 2Checkout, Authorize.Net, Skrill, Intuit, ProPay, Click2Sell, Dwolla, Breaintree, ClickBank or Stripe?

[Ch3vr0n]

What a stupid move, though I think their idea of 'circumventing' is ''if it creates a copy, it's not a retail disc and illegal'. Decryption probably didn't even come into play.

I understand you cutting back on developing but please don't. Create a new Paypal, different method, perhaps even offer a straight up wire transfer? It's my main software to create backups, without development is only a matter of time before a serious issue pops up. My only other option is CloneBD and that's not ready for prime use or as feature packed as bdrb is.
