TIA

Can you give me a title for which it fails? The ones I've tested work fine.

JDobbs for President! No Wait JDobbs for Master of the Universe! Besides the frozen status on RBLD 29.01, it still turned out an excellent copy of Watchmen in a high quality (slow) Movie Only BD9 encode that has fixed the FF/Chapter seek problem. It also picked out the correct playlist and not the longer Director's commentary movie, and produced a copy that is identical (on my 50in plazma using my 50+ eyes ) with the original. What more can I say! I think he has produced the holy grail of BD movie backup, the crown for the BD_DVDShrink if you will. I think there is lots of stuff going on with the Full Disk & PNP and java stuff that will be a pain but thats not what I am after. I have had Watchmen lying around with dust accumulating on it and the 3 duds I had previously burned for weeks and can finally put it away.
Thanks-Again JDobbs and soon as Paypal gets my deposit look for another donation for the great program.

Some titles work fine, some do not. One I had which did not work was PERFUME: The Story of a Murderer, Region B.
(I could give you more titles if it helps, all are Region B, however).

Just finished doing Batman Begins again (full backup BD25).

Unfortunately, result has major PiP issues.
The problem is two-fold:

1. When you turn on the "in-movie experience" (pip), the secondary video appears even when it's not supposed to (which means I see a black frame in the pip, because there's no video there).

2. Even in parts that it IS supposed to be showing, it seems slight unsynced with when the video frame jumps from one side of the screen to another. I mean, PiP is in lower-right corner and we have this guy talking there. then the frame moves to the lower-left corner and you see the guy there for half a second, then it switches to another scene, as if that half of second was intended for BEFORE the frame moved from one side to the other. (I confirmed this on the original disc, in which it is indeed in sync with the frame-move).

I don't have a standalone player, but both these issues presented themselves in PowerDVD7, PowerDVD9 and TotalMedia Theatre 3. All of which play the original disc correctly with no problem.

Title is Black Hawk Down (Region B)

Maybe you Region B guys should send jdobbs your problematic movies... Consider it a sacrifice to science.

i have used bdrebuilder a few times now making bd25's all have worked well. however i have tried the original stargate movie to bd25 but it is compressing to 6gbs total. the movie stream is compressing to 2.5gb. im choosing bd25 so why is the final product coming out at 6gb? ive tried many different settings even. have not had this happen with any other movie and ive used all bd versions from 0.25.03 0.29.02

i tried both the latest versions 0.29.01 and 0.29.02 on the disc with same problem.

@stackner

Hi!

1) What region is your original, commercial BluRay disc?

2) What software and procedures did you use to eliminate/overcome the copy protection of the original disc?

Using BD-Rebuilder v0.29.2

Now I'm getting a lot of these while encoding:
- [07:57:18] GUI issue, no hWnd returned.
- [07:57:18] GUI issue, no hWnd returned.

2-3 every second.

Movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132620/
Region: B.
Used DVDFAB 6.06 to rip.

Are you using "SHOW_ENCODER=1" in your ini file?

I had this on a title but was doing about 3 other things at the same time (primarily copying files around). When I restarted the process without the other things it went through perfectly.

The only time I get this too is when copying files around

Using BD-Rebuilder v0.29.2

"GUI issue, no hWnd returned." I'm getting these, too. My computer was left alone, however, from the time I started it to this morning, when I checked it. Task manager tells me that the CPU's still laboring under X264, so I'm assuming the encode is going through as planned. I'm leaving it alone to see if it finishes.

Braveheart, Disk One, Region A.
Windows XP X64, all supporting programs (AVISynth, FFdshow, ect) most current version.

I was able to repeat the demuxing issue on Black Hawk Down with the Region A disc. It a TSMUXER issue, though, and I'm not sure I can do anything about it.

Sigh... this thing is driving me nuts. I thought I had it this time.

Same movie, same experience here too. Only "GUI issue, no hWnd returned" for the main .m2ts though (00006.m2ts), as the smaller ones work as normally expected. Movie completes successfully and plays perfectly fine too.

[jdobbs]

What do all of you have in common? I can run this thing forever and not get that error. But in testing, I found that there are more than one window associated with the X264 process id -- so I thought "maybe they're getting the wrong window randomly"... obviously that wasn't it.

There has to be some common thread or reason why this is happening only on certain systems.

Are you all using:

Windows XP 64?
Some 64 bit O/S (as opposed to 32 bit)?
What version of FFDSHOW? (don't say "latest")
What version of HAALI?
Are you using the version of X264 included with BD-RB?

[jdobbs]

I've updated the first post of this thread to include links to a newer release of BD-RB (v0.29.03). Changes:

September 8th, 2009 - v0.29.03
- Made another adjustment to attempt to prevent the
  dreaded "GUI Issue, no hWnd returned" error.

September 7th, 2009 - v0.29.02
- Made changes to the code for collecting the hWnd
  of X264 and updating progress.  It appears that
  X264 can have more than one top level hWnd that
  is associated with its process id, causing BD-RB
  to sometimes look for status in the wrong place.
- Corrected an issue in which stopping an encode in
  ABR mode, and then resuming in 2 pass could cause
  BD-RB to fail (no .STATS file).
- Updated the Movie-Only playlist selection dialog
  so it accurately displays chapters (rather than
  marks).  Also corrected the chapter output to the
  .META file in the same way.  This should prevent
  meta files with too many chapters.
- Updated X264 version to the latest release (r1151)
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

I've increased the timeout period to 60 seconds (from 10) before BD-RB decides the the GUI issue exists.... hoping that on a very busy system, the issue is caused by delays in actual start of the encode process.

@jdobbs;
XP Pro SP3, 32 bit
ffdshow - (rev 3026) (2009-07-05)
Haali Matroska Muxer - (2009-01-10)
x264 is what is included with BD-RB v2902.

This was the first time I experienced this issue. Movie Braveheart, Region A. Only happened on the main .m2ts, 00006.m2ts, which is 42.8 GB. All the smaller files worked properly.

Today I used BD REBUILDER v0.29.02 to rip german blu-ray of 'The Reader'. I used KEEP_INTERLACING=1 because there are a lot of SD-quality (MPEG-2) interlaced filmed material on the disc, my hardware equipment does a better deinterlacing job than avisynth/decomb.dll does so I would prefer to keep interlaced material 'as is'. However, I noticed when using KEEP_INTERLACING=1, the field order (tff/bff) of the reencoded material is wrong, which results in strange motion jerkyness because the wrong two half pictures are assumed to be a full frame. Not sure if that's always the case when using KEEP_INTERLACING.
