http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1665312&postcount=19037

1. Click on the start button and select FFDSHOW from "All Programs"
2. Select VFW configuration.
3. On the Decoder tab, go down to "Raw Video", and select "All Supported".
Yes, tried that. Apparently it only affects SBS encoding anyway.

Tried it and got the same error.

It would seem that it recognizes the presence of Intel Media encoder/decoder hardware and tries to use it regardless. Don't know if others with Ivy or Sandy Bridge processors have tried to use this feature. It always fails immediately following the completion of the extraction phase.

There's really no reason to think that's the source of the error anyway. I just thought it would be worth giving it a try.

Someone further back in the thread reported using a supported processor without issues...

Yeah, I'll fix it when I finish what I'm currently working on. It's been reported a few times in the last several days.

This only happens on movie-only backups, right?

I typically do movie only, so if someone else could jump in and answer this, that would be great. Thanks!

I'm sure that's the only time it can happen. In movie-only, BD-RB pulls out the forced subtitles into a stream of their own. I'm guessing there is something odd about the way the subtitles are removed in Captain Phillips -- either that or I'm missing something when building that PGS stream for remux.

It might be a day or two, but I'll find it and fix it.

Jdobbs, apparently no more sync issues with the latest version!
I'll do some more tests.

Ok... now I'm confused. I just did a movie-only backup of Captain Phillips and the forced subtitles are working correctly. Do you have more details? What kind of player are you using?

Vizio VBR231 Everything was working fine until the 2nd half of the movie or so. That's when the problem started.
I cannot test it on my other player, as it's from 2012 and adheres to Cinavia.

If I may suggest you leave it playing, and come back to it past the half way point. Thanks.

OK. I have now tried this on 3 different Intel systems all with up-to-date Windows 7 x64 installed.

It fails on the two with Intel hardware encode capabilities (Ivy Bridge & Sandy Bridge) and works on the one without. Therefore, I must remain skeptical that it is set up to work properly with Quicksync-enabled processors.

Update: I may owe you an apology. On a hunch, I cleared my BDRB folder completely, copied all the new stuff into it, set the FRIM_SW_DECODE and FRIM_SW_ENCODE parameters to 1 and tried again. It seems to be working! It would seem that something in the install folder, maybe old BDREBUILDER.INI parameters or an old project file, was the culprit. I will also check to see if it works with hardware decode.

Update 2:
Still fails with hardware decode. In addition, I see just enough pixilation in the right eye of the finished product to make it annoying to watch. That is the case on three different titles processed on three different computers.

Let me know if that works -- and I'll update to a new version that does this automatically at encode time.

I thought "Raw Video" must be set to "all YUV". I'm not doing 3D Bluray's, only 2D to MKV.

--I too am having problems converting SBS 3D videos.
I have never had problems previously using BD Rebuilder, even when creating 3D SBS MKV's. Is it something on just my Intel i7 system or is there is a setting I am missing that enables the 3D output ISO. I have done a fresh install of BD Rebuilder (and all helper apps) on two different OS's (WIN-7 64k & WIN-8.1 64k w/ Nvidia GTX-550 Ti GPU) and am puzzled why it will not complete, even using the hidden commands FRIM_SW_DECODE=1 & FRIM_SW_ENCODE=1.

@worknstiff

Does it also fail when you try to do a 3D backup of a 3D BD, or just when attempting a SBS-> BD3D conversion?

I've done a LOT of backups and I see no pixelation at all. Are you playing back on a standalone player? Also, someone several pages back reported that they saw pixelation (I think) when using HW decoding.

It might be a good idea on the next release for me to set SW encoding/decoding as the default, and make automatic the alternative.

BD Rebuilder v0.46.10 (beta)

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to the latest version of BD-RB (v0.46.10). Changes for this release:
Code:
- Fixed an issue in which incorrect setting
  of the decoder for FFDSHOW VFW Raw video 
  could cause 3D backups from SBS to fail at 
  encode time.  BD-RB now sets the VFW/rawv
  correctly before encode, and then resets
  it to it's previous state at completion.
- Added warnings when attempting to backup
  SBS 3D sources and the backup mode is not
  correct for BD-3D using MVC.
- Corrected a problem in which forced sub-
  title text in movie-only mode could, under 
  certain circumstances, remain on until the 
  next subtitle period begins.
- Changed the default for FRIM decoding and
  encoding from "Automatic" to "software".
  It seems this will provide a greater level
  of compatibility, even on Intel processors.
- Added code to prevent "Keep original video"
  from occurring when processing a SBS source
  into BD-3D.
- Removed INSPECT.EXE from the build.  The
  same functionality is now available from
  the BD-RB HELP menu.
- Added FFDSHOW release 4515 to the list of
  tested/recommended versions.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I was playing back using a Dune HD Base 3D. I might suspect the player except that the ripped ISO from the original plays just fine. I did select BD-9 output for all three. Is it possible it was just too much data to make it that small and expect good 3D results (although one original was only about 17GB to begin with)?

I personally don't think BD-5/9 is a good choice for 3D. There are twice as many frames, so you're creating the equivalent of 4 hrs video for a 2 hr film. While it's not exactly 2x required bandwidth -- it's using the currently available tools. Add to that all the enhancements that X264 provides (that aren't available with FRIMEncode) and a BD-5/9 is really pushing the limit.

I'm not saying you can't create a presentable BD-5/9 -- but I wouldn't expect quality comparible to the original. I personally do all my 3D backups to BD-25 (except possibly imported half-SBS sources that have already lost a significant portion of their true resolution before the conversion).
