BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jointer]

Hi all

I have been tring to back up my new BD Grand Torino and State of Play and am having a fit. I've been using BD Rebuilder for almost a year without any issue now I've tried everthing and keep getting the error pasted below. As you can see I've tried the last 3 versions of BD Rebuilder with the same results. Any Ideas?

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the lates software posted here with no results.

I started using BD Rebuilder on Windows 7 beta x64 and now am using Windows 7 RC x64 I have not had any issues untill Grand Torino.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK jdobbs, I think we've have "CLARITY" now!

Guess what?!?! The Oppo WILL NOT "process" 1080p/29.97, obviously 'cause "it isn't in the BD standard". My guess is, it sees "29.97fps" & goes "this needs to be deinterlaced". It then does that & out comes "trashed" video to my screen.

BUT........, all is NOT lost! In the Oppo setup menu, we have: "Video Setup >> Output Resolution". Then you get a list where you choose your screen's "native rez". At the bottom of the list, there's "Source Direct". Choosing that, bypasses the player's internal processing/deinterlacer.

So I choose that and BOOM, my Samsung screen can read "1080p/29.97" & my "unwatchable" disc now looks pretty much just like the original! If that's what you mean by "every player I know of will play 1080p/29.97", I guess the Oppo "plays it" too!

The BIG question is, WHERE do you go from here? Outputting "non BD standard" vid seems wrong on the face of it. I'll BET the Flea's "Matrix Extras" cause his player to "choke" the same way mine did. Let me guess, 480p/29.97 isn't "BD standard" either.

Once I get a few spare CPU cycles, I'm gonna try the "KEEP_INTERLACING=1" switch, let Mr. Oppo deinterlace it & we'll see what I get.

See ya!

i posted this earlier and i know your very busy with this program that is awesome, updated to the newest version and everytime i try to backup my copy of "Sunshine" it gives me the following:

I re-installed latest ffdshow_rev2661_20090207_clsid, latest Haali app and Avisynth_257 and i kee getting the same error. I have used this app from the beginning and i've never had problems until this version of BD Rebuilder. Any suggestions? I would really appreciate the help. Thanks.

Any of the 480i\60 m2ts will be fine as long as they contain "live action" video AND film too.

This results in...

1. zig-zags everywhere. (KEEP_INTERLACING=1)

OR

2. Juddering. (KEEP_INTERLACING=0)

(This is apparent on all discs I have checked in parts that were originally 480i\60)

If you run the m2ts through an encoding frontend like "Ripbot264" and set your output to 60fps AND de-interlace. You will see what the original looks like. Sure the 60fps might be interpolated technically from the fields, but it's how all live action video is output to get that 60fps look.

I'm just trying to retain that look.

Hi,

just tried to process Die hard 4 with BR RB - unfortunaely it tells me that the (decrypted) copy is not in BD format. I had a closer look and found that the main movie is 00020.m2ts instead of the usual 00001.mts. The first two numbers (00001.m2ts and 00002.m2ts) are completely missing on the disk !?

Any idea what could be done?

That means exactly what it says. The path you chose isn't properly formatted for BD. You are either missing M2TS, MPLS, or CLPI file(s) -- or one of the required directories. It was either a bad rip or files have been deleted. Sometimes people point to the wrong directory and cause this as well.

The directory isn't required to have 00001.m2ts or 00002.m2ts. It is only required to have some m2ts.

Juddering?

I don't have a clue what outputting to 60fps has to do with anything... but I can assure you there is no BD standard for it.

I'm making some changes for the next release. When I'm done all interlaced sources will be decombed and output as interlaced.

If you could then go to a bit that is live action behind the scenes and tell me if you can see the film look you get as you would in a main movie Vs how it looks on the original.

I guess there really is no way around it then, but I'm greatful for you having a good look at it as you have.

Cheers, Rob

I see what you mean. The extras in "The Matrix" are exceptionally ugly. I'm working on it to see if there's anything I can do.

My apologies if this is a known problem, I did a search and couldn't find anything;

I've had no problems with 1080p/DVD9, but I recently tried the 720p resize option with mixed results (on Windows 7). I tried the following movies:

The Happening (Region A)
Max Payne (Region B)
The Mirror (Region B)
Bedtime Stories (Region B)

Only Bedtime Stories came out at 720p, the rest were all 1080p. I tried again on a different computer running Vista 64 with the exact same results. I also tried older versions of BD Rebuilder again with no luck. I then tried The Dark Knight (Region B), and it came out at 720p. So that's two out of five movies that worked so far.

This is no big deal. BD Rebuilder is a terrific piece of software, and this is a minor problem. But I thought I'd mention it anyway. Could there be something wrong with my setup ?

[Sharc]

@OEM
Interesting; the same happened to me recently: I enabled resize to 720p, but the encode came out as 1080p (although the .log confirmed the resizing to 720p). Don't know if this may happen only when the BD contains PIP (secondary video).

I don't know how that could happen... I'll take a look at it.

If may very well be that I disabled the resize when there is PiP (I seem to recall doing so), but I'll have to check.

I gotta tell you, for all the space that is available on BD, there is absolutely no excuse for how bad the quality is on the extras of "The Matrix" -- and I'm talking about the original disc, here, not the backup... it's a blocky mess.

Well i think it was Windows7 .. tried on a Vista 64b and no problem so far.

I'll give more feedback once it's finished.

I believe "jdobbs" is asking you which version of BD Rebuilder you are using, not which O/S...

It's the last version .. with windows7 it gave me te error .. with windows vista 64b all went well.

[astraub]

In the latest version the program does not automatically select the languages and subtitles, which have been selected in the programs preferences, anymore.

[Willobee]

@astraub

I am not having this problem. Automatic selection of langauges and subtitles is working for the BD's I have been rebuilding. Is this a problem on all of your BD's or just a single one?

Using v0.29.03 you can double click the subtitles and languages to toggle them off and on if the automatic slection does not work.

@jdobbs

Is there a bug in the latest version? I'm doing tests with my purchased copy of ST and choose 2 different AC3 audiotracks (english and italian). I also choose 'Do not reencode AC3 streams'.

But BD Rebuilder DOES reencode the AC3 audiotracks! Afterwards there are *four* (not two!) AC3 files in the workfolder of almost the same size and similar names.

Why is that? Is this normal?

Here are the relevant ini settings:

RESIZE=0
MODE=1
TARGET_SIZE=8300
...
COLOR_BOOST=0
RESIZE_1080=0
DTS_REENCODE=1
AC3_REENCODE=0
AC3_640=1
KEEP_HD_AUDIO=0
AVCHD=0
REMOVE_WORKFILES=0
AUDIO_TRACK_LIMIT=0

...

Thanks for your help.

No bug that I know of. Are you using BATCH mode? In BATCH, the settings are stored when you add it to the queue, and any changes made later has no effect on the BATCH encode.

Also, are you sure two of the tracks aren't secondary audio tracks? You said "similar names", which would be the case if that were so.

[edit] I just went back and looked at the code and it is implemented correctly. I did a couple of tests, and they appear to have worked correctly also.
