Yes. IMHO that should not make a difference. The two examples are 1 sec black clips added to the end of various videos. Pretty stupid, since they could have just encoded the 1 sec of black as part of all the files and just added a chapter mark at that location.

The 1 sec black doesn't need to be recoded, only the longer videos that use it. The non-recoded file will work in the playlist. The min-size setting should be honored, no matter what.

If there is a way to make it do that, please let me know.

In BD_RB if 1 file in a mpls has to be encoded then all the files will be encoded, if I remember correctly.

This keeps common specs (level etc) for all the files in the mpls.
Prevents possible playback issues, I guess.

In regards to the 1 sec black clips, I genuinely can't believe how many movies have them. I'd like to find a way of removing them as I have many movies like this and it's always annoying when I go to backup a disc and the playlist has an extra m2ts for no reason whatsoever.

Well, that can cause issues.

Doing recoding during backups doesn't do any level changes, etc. That would certainly screw up any HDR/DV videos. Besides, these are short black videos.

I'd be happy to have a hidden option that overrides this behavior.

Unfortunately, they do have a reason. If you look at the end of the video that precedes the 1 sec black, you will find that it ends without any black. That end piece is what allows you to skip to the end, as there is a chapter mark at that point. If that were removed, you would not be able to skip to the end and then do the next operation, be it going to the next episode/video or the menu. You'd have to press the menu key. They play a purpose, but they are a backup annoyance.

Thank you for responding. I had no idea the 1 sec m2ts was needed. So the last chapter will be at the end of the 1 sec m2ts and not the main m2ts? I like to make remux, would it be best to keep the 1sec m2ts at the end or would it be beneficial to move it?

The last chapter is actually at the end of the video preceding it/start of the 1 sec black. Best to leave it in place. If you are remuxing to a MKV file (for example), the 1 sec black will be added to the end, making it one continuous file.

Doing a backup of a UHD in which the main video is UHD and DV. Weird is that the log said the bitrate was 500kb.

The encoder didn't fail right at the start. It got a way in before failing.

Is there a last command somewhere that I can run to get the encoder's error?

ADDED INFO: I decided to recode the M2TS file and ended up with this error:

avcuvid: error occured while reading file: 591 frames, Resource temporarily unavailable

There is nothing wrong with the m2ts file as I was able to copy it to another HDD,

[MrVideo]

No additional info regarding my UHD backup issue?

[jz1276]

After years of using this great program with numerous BluRays, I've run into my first issue. I've tried both BD-25 & 50 target sizes. Please let me know if more info is needed and any help is appreciated.

Attach mediainfo output of the video file. Code wrap the text file.

Not sure... but it sounds like a system error of some type.

[MrVideo]

No idea either. I've never seen that error. Not sure how it is a system error, since this has never happened before. I'm suspecting with the file.

Yes. The last command is always recorded in LASTCMD.TXT located in the BD-RB folder. You can cut-and-paste it into a CMD window to test it. You normally should to do it immediately after getting the error -- assuring that all involved files etc. are still accessible.

[MrVideo]

I know I've seen that file in the past, but for this UHD backup job, no such file.

[doobre]

Hi there
this is bound to be a simple setting that I have overlooked, I haven't been doing any copying for a long while, so probably "finger trouble".

Anyway, below are the mediainfo details for the source and the BD-RB output, along with the current INI file and the LASTCMD text log.

I am trying to make a backup of a BD with variable rate FPS (59.940 to 29.970), and the output from BD-RB is 59.940fps [while the audio seems to be 29.970], therefore the video ends up playing double speed while the audio sounds fine, played in VLC and powerDVD.!!!? the file size is half of what I expect, also!

Just in case I ran it through with a restored original INI file, and then using the alternative 264 encoder, no diff.

Help anyone!?
cheers CD

[Moviewatcher666]

Greetings all,

First, I want to commend JDobbs on his commitment to this great program. Well done!

I am playing with a full backup of the new Godzilla Criterion 4K release.

The backup is in ISO format and when I play it in PowerDVD v20, it plays properly with the proper English subtitles. When I play the original disc in my 4K player, it plays fine (of course).

When I process the ISO to fit onto a BD50 in BDRebuilder, everything works except the English subtitles (even when selected in the main menu of the disc).

When I look at the M2TS file, there appears to be the subtitle

Rather frustrating when watching and listening with the Japanese sound track and no English subtitles.

I am attaching my log files to show the work done on the disc.

What am I missing? Or is there a bug that does not set the proper flag when rebuilding the file so that the subtitles turn on?

I appreciate any feedback, assistance or help offered.

Thanks,

Moviewatcher666

I am trying to make a backup of a BD with variable rate FPS (59.940 to 29.970)

There is no VFR BD to begin with, so you would have to take care of that before importing any source to BD-RB.

hi there, and thanks for your reply..
the resultant file from Makemkv shows it as VFR.!?

Handbrake v1.3.1 came to the rescue (again) ripped the BD to mkv with CBR of 59.940, avg 30Mbs final size 23Gb.
