BD Rebuilder Beta - Bug Reports Only

[jdobbs]

I have updated the first post of this thread with links to a new version of BD-RB (v0.40.07). Changes for this release:

- Made changes to prevent the need for .264 file
  concatenation following encode. The concatenation 
  is now a part of the TSMUXER muxing. Should save
  5-30 minutes per job.
- Modified the movie-only build routines so that
  a redundant intermediate video build is no longer
  needed.  This should save 5-15 minutes per job.
- Corrected an error in which secondary video could
  be processed incorrectly when MULTIPROCESS is in
  effect.
- Corrected an issue that could cause iPod and iPad
  ALTERNATE types to be processed incorrectly when
  used in conjunction with MULTIPROCESS.
- Established a workaround related to handling of 
  very small (< 1 sec) files that prevents certain
  anomalies in both DGDecNV and DirectShow. Can
  avoid certain "Timeout...I/P frame" messages in
  DGDecNV.
- Corrected an annoyance in which BD-RB would cause
  exit delay when aborted during a TSMUXER action.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

jdobbs,

It would be possible to improve the definition of subtitles?

[AmigaFuture]

Jdobbs: I looked at all the logs, none of which displayed any errors. From looking at logs others' have posted...to my own...nothing looked "suspicious". Which is why I didn't post. However, once this encoding is done..and IF build fails...I'll post the fresh logs. Everything else about my reinstall is doing well. Other programs functioning as they should. Which is why I'm Intrigued. If it fails, I'll try the MKVMERGE= option, too.

Just to inform to all the users of nVidia Mobile Cards, BD-Rebuilder (and other multimedia related software such as DVDFab) fails to start after installing the latest beta drivers (295.xx), disabling the nVidia Card (using hardware manager) seams to fix the issue (This is not a BD-Rebuilder bug but may cause confusion)

??? You can't make it any better than the original -- and that's what you're getting... are you talking about DVD backups\/

How about with MKV output builds, does mkvmerge similarly now do the concatenation of segments if multiprocess is used?

[soneca]

So I'm missing something, these are the subtitles created by BD-Rebuilder compared with BDSup2Sub.

With more a little more free space than that matching the Blu-Ray rip AnyDVD did; on the same partition as the "Working Path:" Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.

Also..Currently, no condom for the OS..meaning no AntiVirus, but do have Malwarebytes AntiMalware. I also disabled it..because of curiosity.

[stereo55]

Ive been a BD Rebuiled user for quite awhile now (60+ movies done) and just installed ver 4007. This is the first time Ive ever gotten the "Failed to retrieve audio, aborted" message myself (everything is up to date icluding Anydvd HD with my same usual settings) . This is on the movie "In Time" , and I cant fiqure it out the problem thus far .

Anyone else with the same ???

[jdobbs]

@soneca

You're talking in circles. I have no idea what you mean by "created by BD Rebuilder"???? BD Rebuilder never "creates" as subtitle. There is a possibility that it could be resized if the output is being resized... is that what you're talking about? If not -- all I can say is the BD Rebuilder simply demuxes it with TSMUXER and remuxes it again. I can't speak for BDSub2sub -- as I don't use it.

Give me context... what are you doing? I can't keep trying to guess what you're talking about. Are you resizing? Are you outputting to DVD?

I've done numerous encodes and I haven't had that once.

My recommendation -- dump it and get a better anti-virus package.

lol good one. Norton is out of the question though. I've tested it using 2 different versions of Symantec (Corp and Endpoint) and Kaspersky. All report the same thing unfortunately.

[soneca]

Sorry for the confusion ...
The two screens were taken from AVCHD discs(DVD-9) at 720p, the first has been resized(not created) by BD Rebuilder and the second screen also resized to 720 by BDSup2Sub.

Well... the problem is in the antivirus software, not mine. So please report it to them -- I can't fix their software. This is about the 5th time their "heuristic" algorithms have imagined a problem where none exists... if they can't keep their software from interfering with the day-to-day functioning of the computer -- they need to find another line of work.

Trend Micro Titanium says it's clean...

Ok. That make more sense. I'm using a bilinear algorithm... I'll take a look at it and see what I can do to smooth it out.

Can you try another disc and see if it still happens?

Can you try another disc and see if it still happens? I don't think I changed anything in the way the audio is retrieved -- but I did add some code to that area so that indexing can happen at the same time... but that should only be executed if DGDecNV is enabled.

[soneca]

Thanks!
Perhaps lanczos, very good for undersize.

[jdobbs]

I think most tests pick Bilinear or Bicubic when going smaller and Spline or Lanczos when going in the other direction. But, I did it pretty quickly, so it's possible it needs more tweaking.

[17:40:43] - Failed to REBUILD

I got that failed to rebuild error as well on some test builds recently with MKV output. I observed the encoding completed fine and I could manually mux the final encoded elementary streams to MKV with mkvmerge ok.

I've tried a build today with the new version 0.40.07 with regular directshow/ffdshow serving (no multiprocess) and it didn't have the error and created correctly the MKV output with a 1080p AVC movie title, output as 1080p with 192Kb/s stereo AC3 audio.
However, I just tried an alternate title that was 720x480 MPEG-2, encoded to AVC 720x480 MKV output with 192Kb/s stereo audio and that one failed at the same place as yours. Again the encoded streams were completed fine and just the final MKV merging apparently failed.

[19:21:30]PHASE TWO - Rebuild Started
- [19:21:30] Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure
[19:21:51] - Failed to REBUILD

So this MKV merging problem seems to happen only with certain titles or formats perhaps?

I watched closely during the final "Building ALTERNATE OUTPUT Structure" stage and though it doesn't appear in the logs, I could see the following messages while that process is happening:
Creating ALTERNATE MOVIE-ONLY Structure (Pt 1)
Creating ALTERNATE MOVIE-ONLY Structure (Pt 2)
each of these steps goes from 0->100% on the "current progress" indicator
and then it gets the "Failed to REBUILD" error message after that.
I can start the build again and it retries that step.
I also observed during this step in the Windows 7 Task Manager, Processes list, I never see "mkvmerge.exe" listed as running...

I don't quite understand what it is doing during that stage, since I can manually just input the already completed elementary streams (video, audio, and chapters) directly to mkvmerge to create an MKV fine with no other processing.
