BD RB Beta released! - now at version 0.37.08 (April 23rd, 2011)

Sophocles, I am using AnyDvd with it, as I do with the Dvdrebuilder, I think in the instructions for Bdrebuilder it was suitable also.

 

Sophocles, If I do have to rip it, and then use Bdrebuilder how long will the entire process(about) take? I think I used Anydvd to rip once and it took about 9 Hrs just for the rip.

If it took you 9 hours to rip a Blu-Ray movie then you have an issue with your setup somewhere. A rip should never take more than hour. In fact most should be around 40 minutes or so.

What is your systems specs?

 

Maybe he has a 486!

 

Soph, I've had instances where my currently installed version of AnyDVD HD has had issues with a particular disc, especially with a new version of AnyDVD HD and an older disc. I've had to install an older version inorder to rip faster.

Same thing goes with an older version of Anydvd and a newly issued disc.

I have never experienced a rip that took over an hour with any version of AnyDVD HD. My instincts tell me that there is a conflict of some kind. I would think after a couple of hours or so the effort would be perceived by windows as a repetitive loop and result in a semaphore timeout. Do you recall the titles of any of these difficult to rip BD discs? I would like to play with it.

 

Sorry Soph, don't remember which one it was. But I do remember that it was a HD DVD which I had ripped previously in under an hour. Cancelled the rip after 1½ hours with less than 15% completed, installed an older version of Anydvd and then re-ripped in about 50 minutes.

Am following your thread now as I will be getting a br drive to start backing up my blu-rays(done with the HD DVDs).

 

I just had a problem with disk one of Bleak House, it wouldn’t rip to the hard drive. Strangely enough it ripped to an ISO image without issue. I was then able to mount the ISO image and rip from that to the hard drive. Oddly enough this title also had interleaved video which caused BD Rebuilder to error out on the rebuild. I think the two must be connected somewhere. Also, a long time ago I had a problem with Blue Hawaii which wouldn’t rip either, unfortunately I gave it to a friend of mine and never got it back, so I can’t go back and test it again. By the way, all ripping is done with AnyDVD.

 

Amd 9600 Quad, 2.3G, 3G Mem 360G HD

 

I built a system for a friend and the quad AMD 9600 usually takes him about 8-9 hours to rebuild a bluray movie.

I am currently using the quad AMD Deneb 940 and it usually only takes me 6 hours to rebuild one. The price difference on the motherboard and CPU were only $60-$70, so I felt that money would be well spent considering the small amount of cash would save me days of my life over the course of a year.

I have noticed this year that about 90% of my bluray rebuilds work the first time and the other 10% that don't work the first time usually boils down to a bad disc from the manufacturer. They play fine, but they won't rebuild for some reason.

Last spring there was a sale for HD DVD's on Amazon for $5.00 each so I picked up 47 of them. I ripped them all and converted them to Blu-Ray and they didn't take any longer than my BD discs.

When I rip and reencode I always use systems with 2 hard disks. I rip to one to disk and then reencode back to the other. This helps improve hard disk read/write speeds. Give that a try.


I can see it taking 8-9 hours on an AMD 9600 system such as binmax' because that sounds about right, but not 8-9 hours just to rip it. That means that the BD drive would be ripping at a speed slower than it is able to play the movie. A rip will be slower on some older BD drives since they were able to read only a little faster than normal play speed, but never below the speed it takes it to play the movie. Most newer BD drives can rip at 3 to 6 times which means it will take roughly around around a third or less of play speed, hence about 35 to 45 minutes.

 

Hi I downloaded BD Rebuilder and have found that transformers 2 angels and demons are pixulating when they are compressed
Has anyone run into this problem
I would greatly appreciate any help that could be offered
as I haven't gotten a response for posting a similar question sometime ago
Thanks so much in advance

 

I've backed up both, and didn't notice pixelation in either movies, but I always back-up to dvd-9. If you are using dvd-5 discs, I'm sure you'll see pixelation often. I noticed it in a couple movies before I started using dl discs.

Three questions for:

1. Are you setup using only the download versions linked to in the first post of this thread?

2. What size of disc are you backing it up to?

3. Which version of AVISYNTH are you using (really goes back to question one)?

 

CURRENT VERSION 0.31.04 (December 4th, 2009)

http://www.jdobbs.net/freeware/BD-RBV03104.zip

- Replaced the included X264.EXE with a different build.
(0.31.04)
- Corrected an error in which could result in audio sync
issues. This was related to the depth of search for
pulldown in MPEG-2 and VC-1 sources.
- Updated the DirectShow configuration routine to check
all FFDSHOW settings and execute if any are not set
correctly.
- Added a new hidden parameter. "FORCE_NOENCODE=1" will
tell BD Rebuilder to keep the origina video intact, no
matter what size. Note that if you have "FORCE_ENCODE"
set as well, encoding will take precedence.
- Added the "--nal-hrd" option to the X264 command line
to provide better Blu-ray compatibility (as opposed to
depending upon TSMUXER).
- Add a new hidden parameter. "WEIGHTP=n" enables or
disables explicit weighted prediction on p-frames. This
is to counter several reports of "blockiness" on systems
that do not properly support it. Setting "WEIGHTP=1"
will enable the feature, the default value is no set to
"0" in order to avoid having to explain the issues. Note,
however, that the reported issues are in the players --
not the encoder or feature itself.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the
latest release (r1354). Also now use a version that
includes the "--nal-hrd" patch.
- Corrected an error in which "576p" was not displayed
properly in the streams list when detected.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.
