You are correct, a Full format is required, and it takes me, though only once is necessary, about 1:45:00.

I re-did one of the malfunctioning ones with 0.32.05 and burned it on a BD-RE. Works fine on the PS3 and Oppo 83.

I tend to do most full backups to bd-9 and have been very pleased with the quality. However, I have always thought that the 'extras' are not very good resolution wise. I don't use 'quicker for extras' and always use 'Highest (Very Slow)'. I have just done a disc (Star Trek - Original Series) which had an extra which was 480i and it's such poor quality (large pixels and very soft images) that I haven't even thought of burning it to a disc. I tried redoing it with SD to HD set, but that was no better and made a mess of the menus (the top third was just a smudge).

As a side issue, I would also say that these discs use multiple angles to allow you to watch the original episode, or one with new CGI (the M2TS files are broken up and jump around depending on which version you use). The bd-9 discs confuse Sony SAPs and forget the sound or get out of sync - they seem okay on another player I have or on a HTPC.

Hi, just upgraded to latest version of BD-rebuilder, trying to do a 25GB re-encode of "There will be blood",
I have, from the beginning in the new PC, ffdshow ver 3254 installed, but now I had this error:

oh and the "AVC is not set to libavcodec" is ininfluent

thanks, Nik

@mochevolete;
Try this:
uninstall your ffdshow, haali and avisynth. Reboot. Download the supported ones at the first page of this bug report thread. Install them.
Then unzip a fresh new BD-RB, right click on "REG_MSCOMCTL.BAT" and select run it as administrator."
Then, if that does not work, right click on BD_Rebuilder.EXE and select "Run as Administrator" .
You should be ready to go.

Here we go again
I have done a "sucsessfull backup of Eagle Eye, and the whole F** movie is async...
Then i tried to backup My Man on Fire Disc aaand, let me see.. let me see what happen.. Pass2 freezing again und x264 crashs

I use this command this for all concert blu-rays because for some reason thier menus refuse to work after being re-encoded.

Thanks for the advice, worked perfectly

That's what happens without that line...

Any suggestions or information regarding this error would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I don't know if this will be helpful, but i get the exact same error on Sin City (Disc1, US) when I try to do a Movie only encode with one english or all english tracks (Tried both since I got the error initially on keeping only one english track.) No problem when I do a full disc encode of the same movie, with all english tracks. For what it's worth.....

Also, I'm new to the forum but wanted to give my props to jdobbs. My head hurts just thinking about how hard you must have worked on this application. I'm very thankful for your efforts!

Not sure if anyone has answered this yet, but it's been out officially in Asia since about a month now Had no problems converting it though!

3133 is what I am using and it is stable. I'm not sure why, but it seems that with each release of FFDSHOW it is hit-or-miss as to whether there will be issues. Also, make sure you use the 32 bit version.

"AVC is not set to libavcodec" is just telling you that it found something that wasn't still set to the way it originally configures it. It looks at each of the FFDSHOW settings anytime it gets an "Encode failed" error.

[eTiMaGo]

problem problem problem....

I updated to 32.02 about a week ago, but didn't convert anything til a couple days ago... And the output came out with all blank video... So I saw that 32.05 had been released meanwhile, got that, and also uninstalled then redownloaded FFDshow, AViSynth, and Haali from the first page of this thread, just in case there's a new version of those required.

Now, different problem.. One movie came out just fine, and now another one is giving me the "VC-1 not set to wmv9" error. But, I am on an XP machine and have WMV11 installed, and FFDshow set to disabled for VC-1. If I do try to set it as wmv9, then there's just an Encoding Failed error... any ideas?

My Samsung 1600 quit playing BDs (DVDs still worked) and i had to sent it to Samsung's service.
Meanwhile i only have a Philipps player for as a long as the Samsung is serviced.

My Samsung is back from service and the FULL movie test with jar and bdjo files as BD5 does NOT run here.

I'm running another FULL movie BD5 without jar/bdjo now because i'm not even sure the Samsung will accept anything but strict avchd.

I really have no idea -- but either should work ("disabled" or "wmv9") if you have WMV11 installed on an XP machine. Is it VC-1 that you are encoding at the time? The error message just looks to see what is set...

I really wish FFMS2.DLL worked for all video types, it would sure make life a lot easier. I could get rid of the FFDSHOW requirement and the Windows 7 headaches associated with preferred DirectShow codecs.

Yes, this movie is VC-1...

I think it's time to reinstall that PC anyway, it's getting to be very sluggish otherwise...

Funny thing though, I managed to convert the same movie before (but ended up with blanked out video)...

Next testrun with FULL movie BD5 but original DTS audio stream failed as well, now running Full movie BD5 with audio converted to AC3.

thanks for the tip
it worked but ... I used last stable ffdshow ver (3285) because the 3133 does not support HD audio pass through

That's your choice, of course, but I can't guarantee it will work.

Encountered a rather "serious" bug here i think. BDRB was halfway through a 5hr process when it suddenly jumped to "complete" and started remuxing the m2ts file. Below the log

Hey Willobee,

I have been trying for weeks to get Groundhog Day Region A to work in my Panasonic BD-35. I ripped and transcoded as BD25 full disk and the studio logo would play but would go no further. It would not play the Blu-ray ad video or the menus.

I tried your trick above and lo and behold, my Panasonic will now play the BD25 complete with menus. All other movies that I have tried (except for Drag Me To Hell) worked so I could not figure out why Groundhog Day would not. Now I am going to try Drag Me To Hell with the same setting and see what happens.

So the Panasonic BD-35 is very picky about what get transcoded.

Thank you for your tip. I am very please that it worked.

Jdobbs, thanks again for the great program and all the hard work you are putting into it. A donation will definitely be coming your way.
