4k to blu-ray with BD Rebuilder

[Ch3vr0n]

The current release simply doesn't support doing the type of conversion yet you want to do (for disc backup). That's what he's saying. What you want to do is on the "to-do" list. You'll have to check back regurarly and see if there is a new version that might. New releases always get a post by @jdobbs in the debug topic before the 1st post gets updated.

The only mode that currently IS supported he sais is doing an "alternate" output (meaning Mode > Alternate Movie-Only output" > pick one)

You were trying to import 2160p and the old version failed. I wrote that you needed to upgrade in order to get support for 2160p so you can import it.

1. The AAC is being converted to AC3 because AAC isn't a legal codec on Blu-Ray.

2. As I've said before, 2160p to 1080p conversion isn't supported yet. It's something I have on my to-do list. You can, however, convert to 1080p if you are outputting to ALTERNATE formats.

I set up Alternate Movie-Only Output:


When I add movie in .mkv file: Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 3840x2160 23.976fps to File-Import Video Files (MKV, MP4, AVI, TS, ...) that BD Rebuilder to do blu-ray structure with folders BDMV, CERTIFICATE and PSEUDO, but again 3840x2160.

I can't add .mkv file to Source Path, because "Selected source is not BD format".
So I add to Source Path blu-ray structure from BD Rebuilder with file 3840x2160 and set up Alternate Movie-Only Output and it works. Right now I have Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 1920x1080 23.976fps [V: h264 high L4.1, yuv420p, 1920x1080 [default]]

Did I do right?

Yes. But now you have a 1080p MKV. In order to create a BD, you would need to import the new MKV.

If your eventual goal is to create a blu-ray disc, and you are using this method, I would suggest you add ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 to your BDREBUILDER.INI file. That way the alternate output will be blu-ray compliant. The advantage to that is that when you import it, it does not have to be reencoded again to meet blu-ray requirements.

So in order to take a 2160p source (MKV) and make 1080p blu-ray you could:

1. Import the 2160p source using FILE/IMPORT/VIDEO FILES
2. Set BD-RB up for ALTERNATE output (MODE/MOVIE-ONLY/ALTERNATE MOVIE OUTPUT/MKV Container, 1920x1080, 640Kbs DD5.1)
3. Add ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 to your INI file.
4. Run the job.
5. Upon completion you will have a 1080p MKV file in which the video is blu-ray compliant
6. Import the new MKV file.
7. After import, you can burn the structure from the imported path.

Before doing step 7, you can remove the folder PSEUDO from structure as it isn't needed. (But it should still work even if you leave it.) Make sure you select AC3 (DD) as your audio in step 2, otherwise if your source is AAC you'll end up with a disc that can't be played on a standard blu-ray player.

Just FYI. I tested the new TSMUXER version and the sync issue is gone.

I still need to do some more testing to see if the TYPE is correct etc. But I'm happy to see the biggest issue fixed! If they fix the type in the PMT, I may be able to remove the need to scan and rewrite entire M2TS from within BD-RB.

If you them some feedback they can fix existing bugs

Not sure what you want me to look at in that link.

All thanks goes to jdobbs alone. I'm not involved in it's development.
