Finally I found the cause of this misbehavior!

It was the option "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support", disabling this checkbox fixed the issue after a restart.

According to my google-fu "If you check this option, Windows will use codepage 65001 (Unicode UTF-8) instead of the local codepage. The downside is that ANSI-Only programs (most older programs) will show garbage instead of accented characters." Looks like BD-Rebuilder is one of those older programs.

Hmmm... I seem to remember getting a report of that error many, many years ago.

jdobbs, is there any way you can add the AMD VCE encoder into this program? I see that Intel QSV was added, and I think NVENC has always been available. I specifically would like to compress some 4K content to BD50/BD25. Thank you.

It was added for testing in v0.62.10 (see CHANGES.TXT). You can enable it (for testing) by adding the following line to the "[Options]" area of BDREBUILDER.INI (in the same folder as BDRB.EXE):

VCE_TEST=1

For me personally, I have turned off Windows update completely in the system settings (they're not going to update W10 anyway) That was the only way I could prevent a very FORCEFUL update to W11.

Thank you. This will be great for doing some test 4KBD encodes to BD50 and BD25.

Hi, when (re-)muxing with BD-RB, the playlists’ IN_Time always defaults to 00:00:00:00. If the original IN_Time is different, we’ll see an unintended portion at the start of the clips. Can you please fix this issue?

Can you post the log for that encode?

It’s not an issue with the encodes. Whenever the clip (the streams) contains a part at its start that is to be skipped according to its corresponding playlist file, BD-RB doesn't retain the (PlayItem's) IN_Time at its original value and changes it to 00:00:00:00. This could be due to the commands BD-RB sends to tsMuxer (Or the "Rebuilding BD file Structure"). The attached image shows the original structure as imported into Scenarist by a BD-Reauthor script. The black frame that reads ‘Cinerama Everywhere, RT 8:20…’ is a shot of the short part at the start of the clip that is not intended to be played back.

If I rebuild the same title (even with the FORCE_NOENCODE=1 flag?) and then import the rebuilt version into Scenarist for re-authoring, the aforementioned IN_Time is not the same as in the original MPLS. When that playlist/clip is called from the disc menu, those few frames at the start of the clip play back because the IN_Time has changed. Maybe something like BDTools can correct it in MPLS files.

PS
For this particular clip, the “IN_time” of the PlayItem and the “mark_time_stamp” of the first “PlayListMark” in the original playlist MPLS (converted by BDTools to readable JSON) is 27167041. However, in the BD-Rebuilt version, it has changed to 27000000.

I believe this issue can only be resolved by a reverse conversion of the JSON file back into an MPLS playlist after BD-RB’s work.

There is other useful information in the log... for example, was it a full backup or a movie-only? But I guess you decided it wasn't needed and provided something I didn't ask for instead.

Sorry, didn't realize the log was needed.
It was a full backup.
Here is the log:
Code:
[09/06/24]BD Rebuilder v0.61.28

Well, I probably missed this being covered before, and if so, my humble apologies...

Can you use BDRB to convert from a UHD/HDR source to a playable SDR 1080 Blu-ray? Is there any adjustment for changing the color filter to BT709 or any other parameters that allow this?

Or, sort of conversely (not really) can you also simply convert any UHD source using x264 to make a playable Blu-ray? It seems that whenever I try to convert HEVC to x264 it always throws an error. Any secret settings in the configurations? I've tried using both alternate movie only format and archive format (AVC/AC3) neither seem to work for this.

Thanks!

Right now there isn't an easy way to go from UHD to HD. There will probably never be a way to do a full backup -- that's because of differences in v2 and v3 file formats/types.

I'm looking at the possibility of adding a movie-only and/or quick-menu type backup.

Right now you'd have to create an alternate backup in 1080p and then import it.

Okidoke, thanks JD! So, I CAN import either the full UHD blu-ray (m2ts) or 2160 HEVC file and use alternate movie only backup? Would I then be selecting HEVC (it's original format) or can I choose x264? I'm a little fuzzy about the exact steps to use after importing the file...

And, I'm assuming there is no ability to use a BT709 filter to convert it to SDR either, right?

You might be able to input a tonemapping filter with the avisynth tweaks setting

You can choose X264 for the output to alternate (or any other H264 encoder for that matter). Then when you import, you won't have to encode again (unless you decide to do a near-identical [low CRF] encode during the alternate phase) -- that way after importing you can reencode again.

If you decide to do only on encode (alternate), add ALTERNATE_BLURAY=1 to your REBUILDER.INI. That way the alternate encode will be forced to meet Blu-Ray requirements (making it possible to import without reencoding a second time).

Ah, good, thank you Sir!
