Bug by making a PAL dvd from a 50 fps source (Alternate Movie-Only Output)

I always wondered why I couldn't get BDRB to make a dvd from a 50 fps source. But today it went flawless after I unchecked the option "Assume PAL for DVD output". So I think BDRB has a bug that allowes it to make a NTSC dvd from a 50 fps source but fails to encode a PAL dvd from the same source.

Here is the log:
---------------------

Restored an image from April 2014 that had BD-RB 47.05 installed and set the PC date back to 27-April-2014 so that BD-RB 47.05 would work (not give the expired message). Below are the details of a movie I did back then and as you can see it had taken less than two hours to complete with the highest quality setting.

Yesterday, with the same movie and settings and with the same hardware and software installed (image restoration) from the same point in time, took over 14 hours to complete the same movie.
I am at my wits end to understand what is causing this. Beginning to think there may be a motherboard issue developing. In the past BD-RB with the highest quality setting never took more than 3.5 hours to complete a transcode. Now it is taking in excess of 12 hours on the same hardware.
Wow! For that high of a setting and that much compression, that is REALLY fast Bro! You must have one of the first working prototype Quantum Computers...

WHAT QUALITY? If you are putting that much video on a DVD+R WHY???? You can buy quality BD-R's for the same price as DVD+R's now and not have to worry so much about the highest quality compression.
Heh... well, that IS true However, be that as it may, the point here is that he IS doing that (for better or worse) and doing it DAMN fast! I'd sure love to know which Photon processor and what Holographic memory he is using...

In today’s terms my PC is a little outdated:

Intel Core i7-4770K (no overclocking)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750
RAM: 8 Gb
Samsung SSD 840 Pro
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45
Windows 7 64bit

What I cannot understand is why after an image restore on the same hardware, with the same software, to the same point back in time when it was taking no more than 3.5 hrs in the worst case scenario movie, now it takes overnight to complete the same movie.

Leaving the discussion "why I'm shrinking movies to 4.35 Gb" aside (I do it for quality comparision purposes), I'd really like to understand the tremendous increase in system's time to perform the same exercise.

Initially I thought It was the new versions of x264 and x265 included with BD-RB and thought the image restore test with BD-RB from that point in time should work the way it did back then. No hardware or software changes.
I keep Automatic Updates turned off on my system and unless somehow it has managed to install an update for “Meltdown” or “Spectre” into the processor itself, or a possible hardware fault developing, I cannot think of much else. This issue is only affecting BD-RB.

I'm amazed that you only got 3.5 hours at that compression!
Why do you compress that much? Please explain?
If this was an BD-RB issue there would be lots of posts here.

You could use this tool to enable/disable “Meltdown” and “Spectre”.
Check if you have protection enabled, if that is the case disable it.
Reboot your machine and do a new encode.
You can then enable “Meltdown” and “Spectre”.

Windows itself loads spectre/meltdown patches on boot (if you don't have bios ones). That said, they affect windows and windows only. There's NO IMPACT on third party applications at all. Disabling them even for a minute is a bad idea

As I mentioned in my post, I do it for Quality comparison purposes.
I check the Picture Quality of a very compressed copy (4.35 Gb, English stereo audio) against the PQ of a copy that has been compressed around 50% of the original (keeping original English audio track). I have to say that I am pressed to tell the difference on a 65 inch TV. I also do checks against CloneBD results and BD-RB always wins, but these are just my personal findings.
I always preferred to do movie transcodes with BD-RB (taking between 2 and 3.5 hrs) instead of CloneBD that takes around 15 min. to do the same job with Nvidia hardware acceleration enabled but producing slightly inferior Picture Quality.
However, now that BD-RB takes overnight for such tasks, using the other software makes a more compelling case.
I am fairly certain it is not BD-RB causing this “issue” and that is why I am trying to understand what else it might be.
By the way, the tool you linked to states that my system does not have Intel microcode installed for Spectre and Meltdown, so that’s ruled out.

Wow, I guess that just shows how really good BDRB is...

As JD has stated several times, it is x264 producing the amazing PQ after compression. BD-RB is giving us the tools to play with the settings of the encoder.

BD-RB does a whole lot more than that... but, yes, X264 should get the credit for the high quality encodes.

Is there anyway to get BD Rebuilder and RipBot to exist together? Once I run RipBot it installs some sort of modified version of AviSynth and the only way to get BD Rebuilder to work is uninstall all my AviSynth's and reinstall normal AviSynth.

Jdobbs As we know Bd rebuilder has an option for shutdown the computer when the jbo is finish but sometimes I let my computer all night encoding but for some razon the encoding just abort and my computer obviously dont turn of, so because that I wish to ask you there´s any possibility that you can add an option for shutdown the computer even if the encoding job just get any error? So Bd rebuilder detect the job was interrupted and just shutdown? I´ll so appreciate it, if you could add this function?

BDRB has no issues when the videos are worked on separately. But, do it with any two and BDRB errors out. Unfortunately BDRB does not report what the source issue is. Therefore, no idea what it is trying to correct.

As a side note, the first two discs worth of videos had no issues. Just tried working on D4, but it has other issues. So, I converted a M2TS file to MKV and BDRB said that it had inconsistancies. Huh? It was the same program the converted the D3 files to MKV and BDRB didn't complain about those.

Not my day.

Can you show the content of the AVS file when trying to do the conversion with "Assume PAL for DVD output" set?

50 frames/sec is not a legal DVD frame rate. Not even a legal BD frame rate. 25 fps is the 576i/p frame rate. So, the ConvertFPS is correct.

Again, 50 fps is not a legal value. For 480i/p video, the legal frame rate is 30 (29.97). So, the AssumeFPS is incorrect on two counts.

Well, 1280x720 16:9 progressive 50 fps is a legal BD format

This makes no sense to me based on the code I looked at yesterday. The fist one is what I would expect to see with that setting... and I have no idea why it would generate an error. The second one should be impossible when your output is set to DVD.

I guess I'll have to grab me a 720p/50fps source and trace it to see how it can happen.
