Has "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" been removed as an option in the Config or is it now "OUTPUT_PATH=" like SOURCE_PATH and WORKING_PATH?
I have OUTPUT_FOLDER set and the folder exists, but the final disc still gets dropped in the working folder.

Not that i know of, but the output folder needs to exist PRIOR to beginning the encode. BDRB checks for valid paths before encoding.

As I said, the folder does exist. It's just ignored.

Thanks guys
Yup, this is it..we're it. Along with DJ commenting. Don't have fear when using it, just practice. Depends what you want to do. Most times I don't rerender my BDs to BD25 anymore, I'm keeping backups on Hard Drives. There isn't really a "best way". Sometimes with some discs that only have the movie, I copy them to portable Hard Drives...then I'm able to use my TV, BD Player, or whatever..in Lossless quality. Which beats the digital junk (haha) they offer with my originals.
Practice, play around, report bugs. Ask...but don't forget logs.

How does a program "drop" it in a folder? Haha!
"OUTPUT_FOLDER=p p = Path to a folder to be used for output. e.g. OUTPUT_FOLDER=D:\OUTPUT (it must exist)"
I don't recall it being removed or disabled.

The disc has been decrypted, right?

I pulled out a backup INI file and discovered that the "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" needs to be in the [Options] section not [Paths]. I'll test that later tonight.

Is there a setting for imported video files to have subtitles on by default?

You can right click on it after an import and default a subtitle on when you do the encode and/or build.

That's weird. I kept trying that and it wasn't working. Now it is. I feel stupid.

And yes, "OUTPUT_FOLDER=" needs to be in the [Options] section. That worked fine.

This has all been discussed for many years now. Blu-ray/UHD are made with lossy quality, they are compressed (lossy). When you're making a backup of a BD and not reencoding anything, you're making a Lossless copy...just getting rid of extras you don't want.

I hope there's an easy answer to this question. And no, I didn't read all 1471 pages in this forum to try and find it.
How do I enable video card (CUDA) acceleration in BDRB? I'm currently using v0.61.05, Win10.

Yes, my PC can handle 4K. Yes, my CUDA acceleration works with other programs like Adobe & FAB. So, what setting do I need to modify in BDRB or its' supporting programs to get this performance advantage???
Using a 2hr 4K file, and encoding to a high quality 25G output: FAB takes about 90mins, BDRB takes 19hrs. I really like BDRB, but the encoding time difference is Huge.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

BD Rebuilder does not uses CUDA Hardware Acceleration, software encoding provides better quality but is always slower.

BDRB doesn't no, because it's basically just a GUI for the command line tools like x264/x265 which DO use the CUDA/NVENC cores

I've never seen the x264 encoder use my nVidia CUDA GPU. I need a newer card for H.265 encoding.

That is absolutely false. BD-RB is much, much more than that. But the actual encoding itself is done by X264/X265/FRIM.

The decoding may (if set properly) uses the CUDA core, but not encoding.

I still have NVIDIA's NVENC on my "to do" list.

Oh I know it is. No offense meant, I was just simplifying it. That's all. It does a everything but encoding

Yep, it does indeed. The discussion was about encoding. Plus x264 isn't used for decoding.

This isn't meant as advertising by any means. Just as a reference, i have many tools in my video processing library (BDRB still being used, before this one even was released, my alternative (Elaborate Byte's "CloneBD" does full hw acc decoding and encoding. Shrinking a full size BD50 to BD25 on my GTX1080 takes me under 15 minutes with it. Though for my 3D discs, nothin beats BDRB (yet )
