i press yes to continue , after complete the result was 11 gb ( i was set it to BD-9)

-third title - after all complete , burn it, i test it in bluray player it can't play it, and in bluray rom got this message while try play it with powerDVD ' a disc with unsupported format '

any suggestion for these issue ?

second -- It did exactly as it warned. When you're trying to fit on a DVD-5 or DVD-9, you usually have to select only certain audio, as the combined size of all of audio tracks takes too much space away from the video. In this instance it was telling you that exactly.

third: Not all players support all full backups on DVD-5/9. The one you backed up probably had Java-base menus. Either that or the disc was questionable. What did you use to burn it?

For playback my recommendation is to get you hands on a Sony BDP-S360. It's very inexpensive and will play all formats.

It probably got corrupted somehow. Stranger things have happened. I'm just glad you got it working.

ps by the way im doing bd-25 output option

It's up to you. But I think I have the "Automatic" pretty optimized now so you'll get good results.

I rather have some more time spent on the encoding than watching for the next blocky scene instead of enjoying HD worthy material.


BTW is there a thread for feature requests?

The following came to my mind:
- in batch mode it is not possible to delete an entry (I wanted to do so but had to stop the current process altogether)
- could more infos of a current conversion added to the corresponding log file like the quality setting used and the last command txt files content or the infos which inspect provides as I sometimes like to take a look which version was used for the encoding of XYZ
- recently I'd wished I was able to have one out of two audiostreams converted down to 448/640 but keep the other as is for a 25gb conversion

You can remove from the list by right clicking on the choice and saying "Remove from Queue". I'll probably add some more choices to the audio "right-click" selections that will include individually choosing encode options.

But do you think i would see better quality results if i did the 2 pass instead? cause i see some blocky parts

[tandi]

how did i know if it Java-base menus ?
and how i can make it work ?
i use LG bluray player, to burn i use pioneer & LG , and burn with imgburn
with Verbatim disc

i have success using this verbatim blank and can play it smoothly in rom or player with first title

can you suggest what should i do now to make it play ?

@tandi

Hi!

[how did i know if it Java-base menus ?

The "BDMV" folder will include sub-folders named "BDJO" and "JAR" - and these sub-folders will NOT be empty...

I thought of this options but I was not able to!

Will test it again if you say it should have been possible.


++++++++++

Retried batch mode with two conversions added.
Started batch mode and I am definitely NOT able to do anything with a rightclick to the second process, which is not running yet!

v 33.04 / XP Pro 32

If you see blocky parts, I would do a two-pass encode. But can you give me more details? What bitrate were you seeing for the subject video? I want to make sure I tweak "Automatic" so you never see a difference. "Automatic" should only select one-pass when the size/bitrate of the source is at a point where you doesn't visibly affect the encode.

You will see files in BDMV\JAR folder. There really isn't much I can do -- the problem is that your player doesn't support java menus in BD-9. Your only choice would be to burn to BD-25 instead of BD-5/9. Some players won't play BD-5/9 full-backups at all. At least yours appears to play the non-java ones. All BD-25 backups should work on all players. All movie-only backups should work on players that support AVCHD. But not all players will handle full backups on BD-5/9.

Just to be careful, though, I'm only assuming that this is the issue... There's also a chance it could be the format in which it was burned, the disc, or other things. I'm doing remote analysis here -- which is always dangerous.

Did you burn manually, or did BD-RB send the burn directly to ImgBurn? The reason I ask is that there are some specific configuration parameters that have to be set in ImgBurn in order to make the disc work.

You can't modify the queue while work is being done.

I have tried on an LG and can confirm that bd-9 discs with java are rejected. They work fine on bd-r or bd-re, so it is definitely a player limitation.

[tandi]

yeah it have BDMV\JAR folder

and you said ' I'm doing remote analysis here ' not understand what you mean

and i burn it manually
and for the first title, i use same blank disc, same burning rom and same player, but it work

can you suggest what should i do ? cause i really need to make backup to BD-9

@tandi

cause i really need to make backup to BD-9

What does your "need" have to do with reporting bugs?

[tandi]

sorry, cause i don't know where i can ask for my issue

[sa2k9]

I don't know if this is already answered, but...

is there any way I can define a separate hard drive as "Destination Path", apart from Source Path and Working Path?

This is from a 2 x 1TB 7200 RPM SATA2 Stripe 0 volume:

- [10:46:58] Multiplexing M2TS
- [11:11:15] Extracting A/V streams [VID_00002]

About 23 minutes of multiplexing.

Where as the same task is finished in about 6 minutes on a 2 x 146GB SAS 15K RPM Stipe 0 volume:

TIA.

@jdobbs
Thanks for your wonderful software.
I've a question since it a long time I visited this thread.
What is the difference among One Pass CRF and One Pass ABR?

Thanks

Thanks jdobbs, i'm getting great picture quality with one pass mode (Automatic Setting), even on 45GB movies.
