Some movie issues

I am having trouble with some movies using Bd rebuilder. They are, The Number 23, Stranger Than Fiction, and Pitch Black. All completed successfully but when I play the in my Panasonic DMPBD85 and DMPBD60. it just cycles back to the menu screen. All other movies have copied flawlessly. Ripped with ANY DVD. But Total Media Theater plays all three with no problems.

Are you backing up to DVD-5/9 or BD-25?

I must have is understood how to select the 224 audio. I used the 224 audio and BDRB encoded it fine but it was the director’s commentary.

I did used Tsmuxer to demux both and muxed the BDRB video back with the untouched master audio and it worked. It was 9g but that’s ok. One thing however this was the only encode that I have ever done that the picture was much worse than the original. As older movies go the original was also very grainy but noticeably better than the encode.

With 9Gig in audio it's no wonder...

Hi all and thanks to Jdobbs for his excellent work with BD Rebuilder.

PS. I apologise for the long post in advance and if this has been addressed previously. I have attempted to search and read this thread where I can to solve my issues.

Hardware/Software: DVDfab and AnydvdHD to rip movies, the latter where I can. Splash Lite, VLC, PowerDVD, Corel WinDVD Pro to test out my backups. I do movie only backups to DVD-5 for playback on my PS3 60GB. I use Win 7 Ultimate x64/Q9650/XFX5770 and a Pioneer BDR-205BK and BDC-202BK for ripping.

I am using the current build and have been since .04. I use AVIsynth 2.5.7, Haali Matroska Splitter and ffdshow-rev3507_20100707_x64. I set MPEG2 to libavcodec and VC-1 to wmv9. For bdrb, I set my output to a custom size 0f 4195mb to fit onto a fat32 file system, normal priority, highest (very slow), both one pass CRF and ABR encoding unchecked, use open gops for encoding and have selected 1 audio english track and english subtitles with limit to one track per language unchecked.

I have had no problems ripping my movies to the Hard Drive but have encountered issues with subtitles where I have not been able to enable forced subs to work or even to have subs working in the first place for foreign films through bdrb. These being 2012 and Kungfu hustle respectively.

Of late, BDrb has not been able to process Dark Knight and Nanny Mcphee. As well, Nanny Mcphee and the Big Bang and Clash of the Titans finish processing, plays back fine on a PC but get jerky video playback on the PS3, either from a passport connected to the PS3, playing it stored on the PS3 or streamed via PS3 Media Server. There's obviously something the way that these have been procesed that my PS3 seems to disagree on.

Nanny Mcphee (Region Free) and Nanny Mcphee and the Big Bang (Region B) is an AUS double disc blu-ray set.

Nanny Mcphee comes back with the following error:
-----------------------

I have ripped Nanny Mcphee twice with no probelms and plays back on a PC perfectly.

I have ripped Dark Knight twice with no probelms and plays back on a PC perfectly.

I am starting to think that backing up to BD-25 seems like the easiest option to bypass all these problems but the cost of BD-25 blanks is not exactly enticing YET. DVD-DL Verbatims are half the price but I'm going to run into the same problem as I am now by going to DVD-9.

Apart from Verbatim DL, what do u recommend for blank BD-25's? Are TDK BD-25's any good?

In the end, I need a solution where the wife or kids can chuck in a disc on the PS3 and start watching a movie. The DVD-5 option is ok but only limited to the PS3 and you have to go through menus to select the file on the disc to play it whereas BD-25 is the logical answer. Best case scenario I'd like to have both BD-25 and DVD-5. DVD-5 being that I can store the movie onto my 500gb PS3 and take the PS3 away on weekends or holidays and watch movie straight off the box.

Any helpful hints on what I need to set or what I have forgotten to set would be much appreciated and thanks for your help in advance.

Cheers
Pasadena.

Hi!

According to High-Def Digest:
Quote:
Universal says the family fantasy/comedy 'Nanny McPhee' starring Emma Thompson, Colin Firth, and Angela Lansbury is coming to Blu-ray on August 17.
That being the case, you'll likely have to wait a few days for a response, so that the Doom 9 members who purchase it have a chance to try to process it...

Hi and thanks for your response. This will give me a bit more time to experiment to see where and what's going wrong and also whether or not I want to commit down the BD-25 path.

Cheers

You must have missed the very first post, page 1, same place you downloaded BD-RB.

@Datman: When I did the movie, I had tsMuxeR (the only program I could find that would even acknowledge there was an audio stream btw) just pull the audio\video and save both untouched to a bluray format. (If I remember correctly the audio was 224k on the original disk to start with.) Then I used Clown_BD to make another bluray and to make sure what I fed to BD_RB was what I really wanted before I wait 10 hours to find I have a problem, LOL. Too many times I learned that the audio was wrong or had sync problems so an extra 20 minutes with Clown_BD is well worth it.

Potential Batch Encode Audio Bug

I noticed something odd the other night when doing a Full Disk BD25 backup of Date Night using BD-Rebuilder 34.07. I wanted to retain the first and fourth audio tracks, both of which are English tracks. The second and third tracks are alternative languages that I wanted to discard. After setting everything up I added the project to the Batch Queue. I added a couple other backups to run overnight and clicked on Batch Backup. Once the backup had started, I clicked on the Stream Tab to check something. I noticed that the first and second audio tracks were selected instead of the first and fourth. I stopped the backup, reloaded the iso image, and checked the Stream Tab. The first and fourth tracks were selected as I wanted. I hit the Backup button, and checked the stream tab again. The first and fourth audio tracks were still selected. I stopped the backup, cleared the Batch Queue and added the project to the queue. After clicking on Batch Backup, I went back to the Stream Tab. Once again the first and second audio tracks were selected instead of the first and fourth.

When I get home from work tonight, I'll check some of my other backups to see if they exhibit the same behaviour.

no the main audio is DTS 1536 Kbps there is a 2nd audio track that is 224 that is the directors commentary. Perhaps its a different version.

Was the video bad? I'm not at all happy with this release.

Considering that the movie was from 1987, it looks pretty good. I was pleased with the compressed copy (BD_RB to BD-9), it was as good as the original IMO.

It would be more meaningful if you waited to do your experimenting with the commercial version that you'll/we'll be able to purchase on August 17. That way "jdobbs" (the author of BD-RB) will know that he/we are not dealing with phantom problems that don't exist on the commercial BluRay disc...

A question about optimizing performance, if I may. During Pass 1, I'm getting 30fps while CPU load hovers at 20-25%. This is with the highest quality settings with added "--tune film" tweaks to both passes. Is there anything I can do to speed up the first pass? There's lots of idle CPU cycles to be taken advantage of, after all.

(Just a guess) Did you happen to notice the Language labels as they now appeared? Were they labeled as the two English streams you'd selected?

I believe setting BD-RB's "Priority" setting to the highest possible should make for an overall improvement in processing speed...

For some reason I doubt it, to be honest. I'm running BD-RB at Normal priority and it's the only application running on the encoding rig (apart from Windows' own stuff, naturally). There's nothing stopping it from using more CPU that I'm aware of.

Now that you've added this fact, I'd tend to agree with you ;>} - although there's still some background processes going on...

It would only take you a short while to test it.
