Could it still be that ANSI->UTF-8 thing ?
NVEncC assumes UTF-8 by default.
If ANSI, OS codepage has to be switched by
--process-codepage <string> [Windows OS only]

Here is an idea
Use MKVMerge to remove the commercial breaks.
Use NVEnccCRE to reduce the size of each mkv file
Use TSMuxeR to create individual BDs
Then import with BD_Rebuilder (Quick reauthor)

The Canadian sat feeds contained zero commercials. They were black with a length of about 5 seconds. I used VideoReDo to reduce those to less than a second.

You are forgetting that the MPEG-2 files are 1080i with 3:2 pulldown. I use a script that I wrote that uses AVISynth to do IVTC and convert to 1080p/23.976. It also places I-frames at the chapter marks, i.e., commercial breaks.

If the NVEnccCRE program could be told to do IVTC and place I-frames at the chapter marks, I'd love to be able to go directly from MPEG-2 to HEVC.

Doing your method doesn't initially get rid of 3:2 pulldown. I'm not sure how well the hardware encoder would deal with 3:2 interlaced video.

Yes, BDRB has the ability to do IVTC, but the resulting files would be without I-frames at the chapter marks.

BTW, a correctly created disc would have a chapter mark 1 second before the end of each video file so that the user can jump to the end. That is standard practice on commercial discs.

After all of the above, I'll bet you are going to say, why not use BDRB to go from MPEG-2 to HEVC and build a disc, since BDRB will do IVTC? But, BDRB doesn't place I-frames at the chapter marks.

Which is it?
interlaced or telecined.

That is why it is telecined, because it is 29.97 frames/sec. Telecine is not required for 1080p/23.976, but it is for 1080i/29.97 with 23.976 source material.

We'll have to wait for a report back from Jdobbs regarding the two programs.

OTA TV series capture?
Most likely interlaced (29.976 interlaced exists)
But yeah, wait for jdobbs.

While it was an OTA series, it is 1080i/29.97 [30/1.001] (not 29.976, which does not exist OTA). If I would have captured OTA, it would have been 720p/59.94, as it was on ABC. What I have is the 1080i/29.97 MPEG-2 satellite feed to the Canadian network that carried it in Canada. Captured via my own 12' BUD. Those sat feed days are long over as delivery of programming to Canada is now done via the internet.

One of the companies that fed programming to Canada sometimes had their 1080p/23.976 to 1080i converter set to repeat frame. That is where every 4th source frame was repeated as a 5th 1080i frame. In that case, my script was set using the AVISynth plugin to do a drop frame to get it back to 1080p/23.976.

Since you like filters try this one
Code:
LoadPlugin("source filter")
serve file
AssumeTFF()
SeparateFields()
then
Input it into VDub2 and see what you get

Quote:
... a a b b c c ...

then it is progressive video. If you see this:

... a b c d e f ...

then it is pure interlaced video. If you see this:

... a a a b b c c c d d ...

Then it is 3:2 pulled-down progressive video.
***This is from DGTools website

I don't need VDub2 to see the video contents. VideoReDo is all that it is needed. It is video that is for broadcast, as such it is 1080i. And because it is sourced from 1080p/23.976, it will either be 3:2 pulldown, or repeat frame. Only one company (GDMX) did repeat frame.

With VideoReDo you are shown the interlaced fields, so 3:2 pulldown is easy to spot. Same goes for repeat frame.

No Canadian sat feeds were ever 1080p at any frame rate, as no broadcaster was forced to do the 1080p to 1080i conversion. The standard was to provide the video broadcast ready. The exception were those stations/networks that were 720p, in which that station/network had to do the conversion.

I've been dealing with satellite feeds since analog days.

At this point in time, my Revenge to BD project is at a standstill until I hear back from Jdobbs regarding gettimg I-frames at chapter marks.

No, mkvtoolnix-gui.exe shows me what I want to know; all streams and chapter marks.

Or MPC-BE shows chapters if you enable that.

Anyway, none of that is where the problem is.

Had to ask to make sure. Don't dare assume.

The --key-on-chapter failed to work and providing a keyfile caused the program to abort. Jdobbs is going to have to dig into his program to see what is going on.

What would be nice is if I-frames would always be created at chapter marks.
How did you add the "--key-on-chapter" to the command line to test it?

I used:

ENCODE_CUSTOM=--key-on-chapter

in the INI file.

Oh. So you are using NVENCCRE. I thought you were using BD-RB.

Ultimately I will be using BDRB to author the discs. For starters, I took the MPEG-2 1080i videos and created H.264 videos, using IVTC, to get to 23.976 with I-frames at the chapter marks. I wanted to use NVENCCRE to get to HEVC with I-frames at the chapter marks. If BDRB could be used to get to HEVC with I-frames at chapter marks and build the disc layout, that would be great.

If at all possible, if BDRB could take the MPEG-2 MKV files, that contain chapter marks, and do IVTC and ultimately get to HEVC discs, that would be great.

Doing multiple steps to get there would be fine. By going to HEVC, the final disc count would be two, instead of four (H.264).

I recently did a fresh install of Win10. I installed AviSynth and LAV filters, but now I get the following error with BDRebuilder. After it re-encodes it stops at the point where it is trying to rebuild the BD file structure. I get the error message:

I'm sure I'm just doing something stupid, but can someone help with this problem. I've tried uninstalling and re installing AviSynth and LAV filters. The first time I used BDRebuilder I did run it as administrator and it gave me the usual message about configuring the filters.

I don't know what else to try.

Thanks for any help.

BD-RB 0.61.21? BD-RB is at 0.61.28 atm, maybe you want to try the recent one first.

Actually, I've tried three different versions; 19, 21, and 28. The same thing happens with all 3, but I just happened to post the log from 21.
