BD-RB v0.50.06 (beta)

April 12th, 2015 - v0.50.06
- Modified the one-pass CRF routines so that a CRF encoding oversize of 2% or more will automatically cause a second pass for size correction.

- Modified MENU_TOP hidden option....

BD-RB v0.50.05 (beta)

pages are created when more menu items are
present than will fit on one page. Applies
to menus created with Quick-Menu or Imports.
- Added a new hidden option MENU_MAXITEMS that
limits the number of menu items to be shown
on each menu page. See HIDDENOPTS.TXT.
- Added...

BD-RB v0.50.04 (beta)

- Added an option to keep play-all sequences to the IMPORT settings. Rarely a disc may contain a structure that can mask some of the wanted playlists/PGCs that appear to be redundant. This option tells BD-RB to list all playlists/PGCs even it one or more may appear to be a "Play All" sequence. You can then remove or keep after reviewing in the menu/title...

BD-RB v0.50.03 (beta)

- Improved prediction of audio size when auto ALTERNATE audio bitrate an a target size is selected.
- Added a new audio option to the SETUP dialog that enables use of a special type of Dynamic Range Compression. This option will improve some audio tracks where quieter sounds, like conversations, can be lost due to playback volume adjustments needed for...

BD-RB v0.50.02 (beta)

December 28th, 2014 - v0.50.02
- Added a new hidden option. IVTC_METHOD lets you choose between DECOMB and TIVTC as the inverse telecining method. Usage is defined in HIDDENOPTS.TXT.

BD-RB v0.49.05 (beta)

October 9th, 2014 - v0.49.05
- Modified BD-RB so it looks to ensure that LAV filters are set as the preferred decoder when they are installed in support of BD-RB.
- Gave LAV filters priority as the preferred decoder when both LAV and HAALI/FFDSHOW is installed.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

BD-RB v0.49.02 (beta)

September 29th, 2014 - v0.49.02
- Modified processing so that MPEG-2 sources use DEGINDEX and DGDECODE for decoding when DirectshowSource() is selected. This will result in more accurate encoding and sync. This is especially true when LAVFilters are used and iVTC has been selected.
- Corrected an issue in which BD-RB could inappropriately keep an...

BD-RB v0.48.05 (beta)

September 3nd, 2014 - v0.48.05
- Corrected an error in which importing DVD
subtitles with "Import languages limit..."
selected could result in "Runtime Error 9,
subscript out of range".
- Correct an error in which at startup a
popup window will state "FFMS2.DLL missing".
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

BD-RB v0.48.04 (beta)

- Modified execution so that, even though
HAALI/FFDSHOW are still not required, they
are recommended and the DirectshowSource
filter will still become the default frame
server when they are installed. Also, on
systems using Windows versions earlier than
Win7, some options will be disabled when
HAALI/FFDSHOW are not...

BD-RB v0.48.03 (beta)

- Corrected an issue in which ALTERNATE output
to DVD was no longer working as of release of
v0.48.01 due to HC encoder issues associated
with the necessary FFVideoShow seek mode.
- Corrected an error that could prevent preview
from working when HAALI/FFDSHOW is not
installed and DGDecNV or FRIM is selected.
-...

BD-RB v0.48.02 (beta)

- Corrected an issue in which some DVD subtitle
imports could result in "- Source issue, sub-
title n ignored"
- Corrected an issue in which deselecting and
then attempting to select "FFVideoSource" as
the frame server (from the SETUP dialog) would
cause an attempt to browse for DGDecIM.
- Made some modifications...

BD-RB v0.48.01 (beta)

- Added FFVideoSource() as the defaut decoding
 option.  This means that FFDSHOW and HAALI
 are no longer required for operation (except
 when support for DirectshowSource is forced).
 Note: When this option is selected MPEG-2
 decoding is accomplished by DGDecode.
- Added a new hidden option DSHOW which will
 allow...

BD-RB v0.47.07 (beta)

.- Corrected an error that could prevent keeping
 the original video in sources with multipart
 playlists in a movie-only backup, even though
 it will fit without reencoding.
- Added code to prefer 3D playlists over non-3D
 playlists when selecting the default playlist
 for movie-only encoding. Note:  The selected
...

BD-RB v0.47.06 (beta)

- Corrected an error in which an M2TS that is
referenced in a 2D MPLS before a 3D MPLS could
cause the source to be treated as 2D only.
- Added a new DEINTERLACER_TYPE (see HIDDENOPTS).
Selecting 5 combines SmoothDeinterlacer and
Decomb(blend=true). This can work well on some
difficult sources.
- Removed the...

BD-RB v0.47.05 (beta)

- Corrected an issue in which multipart sources
that have secondary (PiP) video could, under
certain circumstances, lose a portion of the
primary video stream. This could result in
a video glitch and probable audio desynch.
- Fixed an issue in "Import Videofile(s)" that
could, under certain circumstances, lose a

BD-RB v0.47.04 (beta)

- Implemented 3D Full Backup Mode. Note that
BD-RB converts 3D method so that the SSIF
folder is no longer required -- the method
is 100% compliant with the BD standard.
(v0.47.03)
- Due to the changes in the way 3D is handled,
BD-RB no longer outputs to ISO by default on
movie-only 3D encodes. It can be enabled...

BD-RB v0.46.14 (beta)

- Corrected an issue that could jumble menu
 order and/or edited titles when importing
 from BD sources.
- Modified LAVF processing so it now uses the
 original M2TS file for encoding rather than
 the extracted video file. This should reduce
 the required working folder free disc space,
 may slightly improve speed,...

BD-RB v0.46.13 (beta)

- Made a change to the processing of intact
 video sources. This will eliminate blocking
 artifacts that might be (rarely) introduced
 in recent versions of TSMUXER.
- Further improved the algorithm for encoding
 with LAVF frame serving. Due to updates in
 newer versions of X264s LAVF, more source
 formats are directly...

BD-RB v0.46.11 (beta)

- Fixed an issue introduced in v0.46.10 in
which a BD-3D source that is targeted for
SBS output (BD or ALTERNATE) will fail
during the encode phase.
- Corrected maximum bitrate for output in SBS
mode from 3D sources.
- Changed process so that DGIndexNV does not
run when a FRIMSource() is in effect (when

BD-RB v0.46.07 (beta)

- Added a new type of IMPORT function. BD-RB
will now import video files in 3D side-by-
side (SBS) format, and when reencoding the
created pseudo source to BD-5/9/25/50 they
will be converted back to standard MVC for
3D playback in 3D-capable BD players.
- Corrected an error the could result in a
failed...

BD-RB v0.46.05 (beta)

- Modified the log display so that messages
that do not apply to 3D backups are not
displayed during 3D mode.
- Added a new option under the SETTINGS
dialog, By selecting "Process 3D Video
sources as 2D for backup", you can tell
BD-RB to create 2D backups of 3D sources.
- Fixed an error in which the DOWNRESIZE

BD-RB v0.46.03 (beta)

- Added fully BD compliant 3D support for
 movie-only backups. SBS and O/U 3D output
 is still supported via selection of the
 "Enable SBS 3D Movie-Only output" option
 in the setup menu and the "TYPE_OF_3D"
 hidden option output, but is not the pre-
 ferred 3D method. NOTE: This feature
 requires Windows 7...

BD-RB v0.45.05 (beta)

- Fixed an error in which an unmounted IMPORT
 source no longer causes "Runtime error 52".
- Corrected an issue that caused MENU items to
 be incorrectly displayed when Quick-Play
 mode is selected and editing results in
 items being reordered or removed.
- Fixed an error in which TWEAK_ALTERNATE was
 not being applied...

BD-RB v0.45.03 (beta)

- Made major changes to how the Quick-Play
reauthoring mechanism works. Implemented an
interactive menu to the reauthored output.
Now you can browse and select from multiple
titles on Quick-Play reauthored discs. This
feature applies also to all imported titles
(DVD, Videofile, and BD). This feature is
especially...

BD-RB v0.44.17 (beta)

- Added code in movie-only mode that extracts
 forced subtitles into an independent stream
 and sets them to "selected" for playback.
- Added a new hidden option "FORCED_SUB_LANG"
 that allows a user to select which language
 is preferred for forced subs.  The default
 is "eng" -- and it will be also be used when
 no...

BD-RB v0.44.16 (beta)

- Corrected an issue in which MKV files that have audio offsets were not being adjusted properly during import.
- Fixed a problem in MKV generation on sources with a fairly large number of parts that could result in a "Failed to REBUILD" error.
- Corrected an error in which rebuild of MPEG-2 sources could, under certain circumstances, create an...
