It shows x264 running on 4 cores and bouncing between 93 100% its been running now for about 6 hours and its a 35 gig file so it should be done at most in the next hour. No errors coming back in BD RB so I think it's fine and I will let it run another hour or so. I also refreshed the workfiles folder and the MKV file went from around 5 gig to 6 gig on the update.

It finished just fine.

Now testing on another with multiple files and it has stopped again at 22% on pass two of the third file. Seems to be random.

I am experiencing the same thing encoding Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.

The movie is still encoding, it is just the progress bar that has stopped.

Oops, that message is not in the log, so it must just be going slow.

I can confirm this as well ...... I have been stuck at 68.6% now for a bit but all 4 processors are lit. X264 is running and no message in the log.

It's not slow it stops. I am running another movie now with multiple files and it randomly stops on them and starts again when it starts the next file in line.

All I can say is that if you don't get the message, BD-RB is getting the window handle. I guess there's always the possibility that X264 is frozen -- but I doubt it.

You didn't answer my question -- did you get the GUI error message?

Sorry there was no error messages. The bar stopped 22% of pass 2 and started again at the end when the audio and video are being put together and it's writing the folder. BD Rb is working fine and not hanging nor is X264 it's only the progress bar that stops updating.

Well it might be just slow as JD has stated. Movie (Hellboy 2)finished completely without any errors or messages. I did notice at the begining with quicker encode for extras that the gooy was not updating, it just seemed like it went from 0% to 2.5% ...... but then the files could just have been too small to require an update and BDRebuilder did it at the end though I have never seen this befor ver 29.01.

Windows Vista 64 Bit

When it stops updating nothing updates speed, ETA,FPS, frames it all stops and never resumes. The first time it stopped was on a movie with a single file to process it only started again when it started to write the final folder. Then the next one it did it on had multiple files to process and when it sops on a file it only resumes when it starts the next file but then it will hang again. The program continues just fine so it's more cosmetic and has no affect in the end you just have no idea how its coming along.

Windows Vista x64 here.

I experienced what I thought was a reencode issue on the second pass that seemed to do something similar. It appeared as though nothing was going on, the meter simply wasn't moving. I avoided the temptation to restart BD RB, and I'm glad I did, because a short time later the reencode finished and everything played back perfectly. Since the entire process finished in 3 hours and 43 minutes with two pass (Eagle Eye) and that's about average for a standard 105 to 120 minute movies I can't say why that happened.BTW, it was on Windows 7 64 bit.

Was that also on v0.29.1? Did you get any kind of error message in the log?

That's just really weird. I wonder if this is something related to the latest X264 updates? If you get to 22% it means it had to have had the window handle to show the status to that point... all that BD-RB does after that is check the window caption for updates a few times a second. The 22% was on the "Current Progress" bar, right (not "Overall Progress")?

Hi jdobbs,

I sent you a PM about this problem.

I remember in one of the post there was a line you could add to bdrebuilder.ini that opened a dos window and you could see the progress there can you tell me the line to again and I can add it and run another and watch what happens beween BD rb and the dos open window.

Yes the 22% was on the current progress the overall was over 50% but nothing was updating.

Sorry should have posted that it was on the previous version. Was this an issue that was recently fixed?

I found that if CoreAVC 1.9.5 is your default H264 decoder you'll experience symptoms like these. Check and see if CoreAVC is doing the decoding instead of FFDshow. I've experienced lock-ups of other running programs when this happens as well. It might possibly be due to having CUDA acceleration enabled, but I never did any further troubleshooting once I found out what was causing it on my system.

Windows XP X64 here. I can confirm that the progress bars aren't reporting back in real time; it's sporatic at best. Some streams, both bars read fine... then it'll hit a spot where both bars appear to freeze. Task manager still reports the CPU's being taxed. Framerate and frames encoded information also freezes.

I did Bee Movie last night, and when I noticed the behavior, I left it alone all night. The result was a completed project when I checked it this morning: And both bars showed 100% completion. I'm working on Braveheart, Disk One now, and six hours into it, it's showing an overall progress of .18% with no activity on the current progress bar. I'm betting that leaving it alone will result in completion, but point being, the progress bars aren't reporting accurately here, either.

To my recollection, earlier versions worked fine--but I won't swear to that, since I usually start projects in the evening, and ignore the computer until I wake up the following day. That, and I've been using Windows 7 RC right up until two days ago, when I re-installed XP X64. So I really hate to report anything on any platform that's A) Not yet supported, B) Itself, still in beta, and C) different than the environment I'm using now and noticing strange behavior on.

[Edit] A half an hour from posting this, I checked BDRB again out of curriousity. 54% overall, 13% current, with framerate info and encoded frames info going strong. So it jumped from .18% to 54% in a half an hour.

Also, this is using FFdshow as the decoder.

So it's not CoreAVC? I've done two movies with 0.29.01 and haven't experienced this yet (using Windows 7 X86). Anyway, I'm sure J. Dobbs will get to the bottom of this for those that are experiencing this issue.
