BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

Right click on BDRB, then click on run as administrator. Also try disabling norton, temporarily, and see if that helps.

I have a Hauppauge HD PVR 1212 that I use to capture/record HD tv shows to .ts format per below media info specs:

So BD-RB cannot process this file!

I would not even need to reencode the file except when I burn the original to a Blu-ray disc for playback on my standalone Sony S360, I get a very stuttery, combing interlaced result.
I thought interlaced 29.97fps was BD compliant, but perhaps the field order is incorrect, recorded and reported as TFF.

Is there a way, with BD-RB, to only change the field order to BFF, but keep the content interlaced?
If not, can I change the field order and deinterlace to make this a watchable recording? ( I can do this with MeGui )

The program did not even startup on the screen. What might I have on my computer that would conflict with BD-Rebuilder? I have used this program for at least 2.5 years and never had this problem.

Finally had time to test Gunslinger Girl S2 D1 on 0.43.04. Previous versions of BD-RB created backups with out-of-sync audio. On 0.43.04, movie-only backup, audio was perfectly synced with image and subs, but for the first episode only. It was the same thing with Farscape S1D1 movie-only backup.

Since Farscape audio sync was spot on in a Full Backup, I'm now running a Full Backup of Gunslinger Girl S2 D1 to see if audio sync issues disappear.

update: audio sync is fine on the Full Backup of Gunslinger Girl S2 D1.

@jdobbs:

Resulting .iso file using Quick-Play Backup will not playback and error message states it is an unsupported format. Please see all attached. Had no issues using Edit Mode Backup. Mahalo brah.

Update: Btw, for what it's worth, No CERTIFICATE folder was created. Only the BDMV folder was created.

Tested on another capture, same results. Not sure why BD-RB sees source framerate different from tsMuxeR as well as dgavcdec.

@Capsbackup

Hi!

1) If you load the captured .TS file into tsMuxeR, is it indicated by tsMuxeR to be 29.970 or 29.94?

2) If tsMuxeR shows it as 29.94, can tsMuxeR be used to change it to 29.970 (and, perhaps, changing it from.TS to .M2TS, if necessary)?

tsMuxeR reports it as 1920:1080i, Frame Rate: 29.97.
Same for dgavc and MediaInfo.
Only BD-RB reports 29.94fps.

BD-RB gets the rate from the codes in the CLPI. There is no code for 29.94... There's a 59.94 -- but that is only 1280x720. When you are importing, BD-RB gets the frame rate from Mediainfo.

But MediaInfo reports it as 29.970 fps, as I posted in the log above from my previous post.

Anybody else using TMT?

I've got the problem, that the new quickplay feature produces movies, that not play under TMT. I've tested with TMT5 and 6.

It tries to load, the screen turns black and than the player hangs completely. I've to close TMT with taskmanager to get out.

Actually I had converted 2 movies using this quickplay feature and both do have this issue (White Lion, Magic Silver).

jdobbs, how does BD-RB extract and mux subtitles? I'm asking because of the last 7 titles I've done on v0.43.04, subtitles disappear in the middle of a title on 5 of them. I've managed to fix each one by extracting subs from the original with MeGUI (which uses eac3to) and re-muxing the subs + title with multiAVCHD.

All 5 titles are japanime discs (but so were the 2 that came out OK) which leads me to believe this is at least partly caused by how the original is put together in authoring. On the other hand, the original plays perfectly in PDVD11 while BD-RB output either A) simply loses the subtitles but plays fine otherwise or B) crashes PDVD11 and MPC-HC at the very same moment the subtitles are lost. I don't see anything out of the ordinary in .LOG or .INF files, either.

It uses TSMUXER for muxing and demuxing. It hasn't changed in that regard since the first release, so it couldn't be anything related to that release.

I thought it might. OK... so I could run TSMUXER as a stand-alone and see how it likes the playlists that came out from BD-RB with disappearing or crash-inducing subs.

When BD-RB calls TSMUXER during the muxing phase, does it enable insertSEI and contSPS for H.264 streams?

update: Whoa!

Step #1: Loaded a playlist from original in TSMUXER, disabled two unnecessary audio tracks (like I did on BD-RB run) and demuxed video, Dolby TrueHD audio and English subs to HDD without errors.

Step #2: Closed down and restarted TSMUXER, dropped in first video, then audio and finally subs. Remuxed to Blu-ray, again without errors. Output crashes both PowerDVD 11 and MPC-HC, at the same point as the earlier BD-RB output did. It's actually the very first subtitle bitmap of the .SUP which crashes both players.

Loaded the original demuxed English subs from step #1 into SubtitleEdit. I can scroll through and read all subtitle bitmaps, no corruptions or errors.

Opened the original playlist from step #1 in MPC-HC: movie plays with English subs, no crashing.

... OK, now it's getting weird. Opened the playlist from TSMUXER output in TSMUXER, demuxed the English subs and opened the .SUP in SubtitleEdit... and the file's fine. No errors or corruption. Huh?

Addendum: opened the original .SUP from step #1 in BDSup2Sub. The log reads:

#> 1 (00:00:17.643)
ERROR: PG missing at index 0x00011770

Detected 0 forced captions.
WARNING: missing end time of frame 1 -> fixed
Decoding frame 1/1 at offset 0x000001b4


BDSup2Sub reads only the first of 1333 subtitle images and renders on-screen only part of the image. The subtitle image is quite large as it's got one line of text at the top of the screen and another at the bottom of the screen. BDSup2Sub displays only the line at the bottom of the screen.

RESULT: demuxed English subs from the original with eac3to and opened the resulting .SUP in BDSup2Sub. It read all 1333 subtitle images instead of only the first one. In other words, it looks like TSMUXER messed up in step #1 by creating a somehow faulty .SUP.

More data: opened the eac3to-demuxed .SUP in SubtitleEdit. Duration for the first subtitle is slightly over 1 second. Opened the TSMUXER-demuxed .SUP and the duration of the first subtitle is 20+ seconds and marked in red by SubtitleEdit.

[laserfan]

The only trouble I have ever had with tsMuxeR has been related to subtitles (presumably corrupt in some way) and these have introduced a variety of problems that tsMuxeR fails to identify report to the user. I've thankfully managed to guess at "subtitle!" as the problem for the wierdness and have been right 100% of the time.

No news about angle on Ice Age 4 FR ?

[jdobbs]

@steveg32

I'm running "Ice Age, Continental Drift" as a Quick-Play backup with ISO output right now. I'll let you know how it comes out.

[jdobbs]

@Capsbackup

Any way you can create a very short TS file that shows as 29.94fps and send it to me? From looking at the code, I can't see how it can happen unless the source is shown by MediaInfo as that rate...

Been traveling for the last week. Hopefully I'll be able to check it out some time this week.

Here is the link to one. Not sure why link will not "highlight".
I appreciate your looking into this!
