No..., I didn't include this in my .ini. I assumed it isn't required because it defaults to 0 (SBS) which is what I wanted....
I'll try again after the current encode has completed.

Sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking.

Eventually I found the reason for the failing full backup SBS encode:
The original disc (ripped as 3D .iso) was small enough to fit on a BD25 without re-encoding (from a file size point of view).
In addition to enabling SBS in the settings and putting TYPE_OF_3D=0 in the .ini, I have to put FORCE_ENCODE=1 in the .ini. Otherwise the 3D clips are just getting remuxed as 2D (base stream only).
I think it would probably make sense to trigger the forced encoding automatically in this case, because SBS encoding of 3D MVC sources will always require re-encoding, independent of any size constraints. Any thoughts?

That's a bug. Even if it will fit, it should force a reencode of a 3D source when SBS/OU is selected. I'll make sure I fix it for the next release.

[Edit] It has been fixed for the next release.

- Improved BD-5/9 full-backups. Sources that
do not use BD-J can be reencoded using the
full-backup mode, and should play on any
AVCHD compatible device. This includes all
imported and quick-play authored discs. A
small asterisk will display in the upper
left corner of the streams list next to
the disc title for any source/mode that
meets the criteria for an AVCHD compatible
full backup to BD-5/9.
Have now tested this with success on PS3 . Sadly it borked the playback on my older Sony BDP-S560, which I find strange as it should handle proper AVCHD format.

So by "borked" you're saying it won't play, I assume. I tried it on two different Sony players and it worked. I think I may have an older one in storage, I'll see if I can dig it out.

Wow. That's truly a surprise. It should be 100% AVCHD now.

Will your Sony play discs re-authored by multiAVCHD?

Yes, it plays everything done with other software, it even played BD5 & BD9 done with BD-RB up until the latest version, when instead it worked on the PS3.

Does the "invalid disc" show up with new backups or with imported/quick re-authored material from earlier backups? Is the video/audio getting (re-)encoded, or is it just copied as is to the new disc?

Thanks.

Another issue for Full 3D backup (and similar for Movie + Menu backup):
- The disc plays correctly for FRIM/MVC backups.
- The disc loads but the Menu fails to play for (forced) Half-SBS backups (player stops, black screen).

For Half-SBS, all but one of the menu and intro clips are left untouched (monoscopic) or remuxed (in-mux) as MVC, but one is getting Half-SBS encoded. Does this mixture of MVC/in-mux and Half-SBS possibly fool the player? Or is this perhaps another bug?

Edit:
If it helps I could send you the playlists and Clipinf of the 2 versions (FRIM/MVC and Half-SBS).
Disc is for example Legend of Tarzan.

I haven't tested yet imported or quick reauthored, only full. The video/audio is encoding as it should.

What does it mean when it says no video header found? Sorry, I made my own bluray. I was trying to shrink it down to fit on a single layer disc. I get an error popping up saying no video header found and then No Data Check Your PIDS. It then goes to completing remainder of indexing and it hangs. I was thinking it was my homemade disc, but I just tried starting the program and it doesnt even want to start, its hanging at the splash screen. I am now getting an error box that I am having trouble posting but it says Error Condition and BD Rebuilder experienced an error 2501 [12:15:22] ScanDirectory() 00009 2501

My guess is that the M2TS stream is illegally formatted.

I believe that error is coming from DGIndexNV -- you may want to take a look at the standard used for M2TS files (ISO/IEC 13818-1) for more details. If you search for it, it should be available for download.

@jdobbs
My Blu-ray source is 1080i, 25fps.
I don't apply a deinterlacer because the video is progressive. Alternate output to mkv container 1280x720 produces 1280x720p25 which is not blu-ray compliant. I think it should be 50fps using frame duplication, i.e. changefps() rather than assumefps() in the script for this type of source, no?
Is this a bug, or a "don't care" for .mkv ouput?

P.S.
It does it right for Blu-Ray structure output, so the question is only for alternate outputs.

IMHO it is a don't care. The last thing you need is a file twice the size it needs to be. 720p25 MKV file are playable in any Blu-ray player that plays MKV files.

Frankly, I'd bet that you would be hard pressed to find a relatively new Blu-ray player that wouldn't play 720p25 videos even when authored as a Blu-ray disc.

BD-RB doesn't put the same restrictions on ALTERNATE output files (e.g. MKV) that it would on a BD. For example, if you have auto GOP set, it can have GOPs that are 250 frames, which would be illegal for BD. At one point I was trying to create them to be compatible, but I gave up on that idea for the sake of encoding efficiency.

File size is not a problem at all. The file will become only slightly bigger, because x264 encodes the duplicated frames very very efficiently (another method I didn't mention would be to apply --pulldown). But let's hope that you are right and very most Blu-ray players will actually play 720p25.
