what about we can select what to include or not on the bluray? i meant like if we dont want the extras, but still want the menu, or just want some of the extras? doesnt seems to hard to do right?

I'll eventually add an option to blank them. But you first have to be able to view them so you know what you're blanking. I've started working on that but have hit a couple of snags.

yeap i was thinking about that, cause sometimes are too many clips that it will be very annoying to check one by one to see what does it have each one!

What kind of snags

Are you planning on just having some program launch, write your own preview player or just embedding something like MPC.

I was going to just embed it in BD-RB (like I do in DVD-RB) using the media libraries already included in Windows.

The snag? Well... the DLL keeps crashing when I call it.

Not sure if this is good idea or not but I have seen tsmuxer doesn’t use more than one cpu core at given time. However today cpu have two to four cores. If tsmuxer instance is launched multiple time we can give each one different stream to extract. Also this would help with rebuilding for final output since we can build more than one stream at same time.

You would still be limited by your disk's performance and with the increased seek times would actually slow down the process.

Any chance you could add a little audio sound when the conversion is complete? Not that big of a deal, but it's always nice to hear a beep or some type of sound when something is finished.

Don't remember in which version you had a very nice feature: BD showed the approximate bitrate the conversion would have once finished. Then you took it off. Would it be much of a hassle to add it again? Or it's still there hidden and I haven't seen it?

Edit: corrected typo

Do you mean verbose status reporting under the settings tab this states the approx bitrate

How about a user configurable setting. I'd like to have a loudazzed siren when its complete!

I'm sure some people would like a ding and still others, nothing.

It might be. Don't know why, I have it unticked now. I'll check it now.
Thank you, tekmobile

Hello jdobbs, as i alredy ask you here about Level 4.0 comilance in BD Rebulder, i want to elaborate this. Since x264 can't fully produce Blu-Ray compilant stream at level 4.1, according original Blu-Ray specification, encoding only and only with level 4.1 require 4 or more slices. Level 4.0 is full blu-ray compilant only thing is different is that max bitrate drop from 40000 to 24000. Since both level 4 and 4.1 can have max buffer on 30000, which mean max 30mbps peak, quality won't drop by wide margin. You current buffer setting (25000) can hurt quality more than difference between level 4 and 4.1. Anyway x264 as very powerfull and quality at level 4 will be same. Finaly we find settings that are 100% compilant, i think is smarter for near future until x264 not make slices encoding.

I suggest you to add some hidden option and use 100% blu-ray compilant settings in this mode such as
Level 4
vbvmaxrate 24000
vbvbuffersize 30000
bframes=3
refs=4
no bpyramid
no mixedrefs
aud, nalhrd

strems generated with 100% compilant settings will be more usefull for authoring programs such sonic scenarist and others. Buffer 30000 are good for DVD media aslo there is no reason to change it because is compilant to BD 5/9 unless use strict AVCHD specs.

Thanks.

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but I'd ask that you at least look at my BD-RB command lines before trying to correct them. The only downside to using Level 4.1 is the slice requirement -- and there is no known player that enforces that, so I made a decision to stick with it for the extra bitrate. I probably will decide to encode at Level 4.0 just so I can claim complete compliancy, but as of today it is a "much ado over nothing" argument that I've seen get much more attention than it's worth (IMHO).

I'd also add just for clarification that:

- Level 4.0 has a maximum rate of 25000 in High Profile (which is what BD uses), not 24000

- Level 4.1 has a maximum rate of 62500 in High Profile, the 40000 is a limitation of Blu-Ray, not the level

- The refs 4 is driven by resolution. And is only applicable to 1080p, 720p and below can be 5

I would also add that there are other requirements for Blu-ray, such as keeping the GOP length (keyframe spacing) under 1 second (which by the way is one I've seen violated the most in other suggested settings). You also have to severely lower the maximum bitrate when writing to AVCHD or BD-5/9, because the spin speed of a DVD won't handle 25000.

Sorry no, from ORIGINAL Blu-ray specs, document says

I stand corrected on the 24000, I didn't realize the BD spec was different from the H.264 HiP/Level 4.0 spec (which is 25000). But, of course, I'm not using it as of right now so it really doesn't matter.

As for the other one, it pretty much substantiates exactly what I said.

Hi!

I set my PC mostly to standby when I am not using it.

Imgburn has a nice option where one can set the Shutdown action to for example: Shutdown, Standby, Hibernate, Restart.

Would be nice to see such an option in BD-RB.

I mentioned already in the bug thread, but its more of a feature wish:
a (hidden) option to not overwrite the VID_?????.avs files, if they already exist, would also be nice.

Bye

x264 supports slices, so might as well add them in now
