Another BD problem

[cormiodo]

Dear all, (sorry for the english language, I am Italian)

I have read a lot of post related to the BD-DVD5/9 problem but I don't find anyway the reply to the mine.

I have created the ISO file from a BD with Anydvd HD; after I have mounted the ISO with various virtualdrive software and I can play the movie without problem.

Then I shrinked it with BDRebuilder FULL DISK mode, to create a BD-DVD9 disk.
After this I have create the ISO file from the output of BDRebuilder.
Charged the ISO on the virtualdrive I can play it normally.

Then I have mastered a DVD and ..... here are starting my problems!

On the computer and on the BD player SA (LG BD370) the movie don't start; on the pc the player stopping without error and the SA say me "check the disk".
I try with two BD with the same problem. But only if try to play the movie from the disk; if I copy from the disk on a new ISO file and I mount this, the problem disappear and I can play the movie without problem.

Now I know that some of you says "The LG BD 370 isn't compatible with a BD-DVD9 disk!" but ..... isn't true!! I have already done other 8 disk that are absolutely ok. On the SA I see the menu, the extra, the movie, ecc. and the disk are BD-DVD9.
And anyway I repeat that I have the same problem on the PC.

Someone have some idea?
Many thanks for your help.

Moving you to our blu-ray ripping and shrinking section.

Why are you converting the BDrebuilder shrink file to ISO? After BDrebuilder has completed the shrinking process, all you should have to do is burn it to the disk.

[cormiodo]

Yes, I know. But, how I explained on the post, the only way to play on pc is to create the ISO and mount it; I do this to test the shrinked movie.

Anyway also if I burn directly, the result is the same. From the disk don't play.

If I'm understanding the above correctly, it seems like you are ripping the image twice for no reason. I understand why you are ripping the image from the original disk to mount the drive the first time, but I do not understand why you are ripping the image again the 2nd time and converting it to ISO after using BDrebuilder.

Here is a guide created by milOtis that helped me get started. Review it carefully and let me know if it helped you as well ----> http://www.corusa.com/public/Blu-Ray_Backup_Guide_milOtis.pdf

good luck!

Sorry, but probably I am not able to explain better my problem

I try to show you step by step what I do:

Ripping thr BD with Anydvd -> ISO file
To test if it's ok I mount the ISO
From the virtualdrive I try to play the movie -> it's play without problem

Now I can: 1 - Start BDRebuild (full disk mode) with source the virtualdrive
or
2 - Decompress the ISO and start BDRebuilder (full disk mode)

anyway BDRebuilder perform the job in correct way and the result is that I have a dir with the correct structure of the BD shrinked.

Now born the probem: if I play the movie directly from the dir, the player don't start (after some second it going on stop) but, if I create a new ISO from the dir and mount her on virtualdrive, the player start without problem and I can show the movie.

On add, if I burn a DVD from dir or from the ISO mounted and I play it, the same the player don't start.

At the end seems that I can show the movie ONLY if I mount one ISO on the virtualdrive.

Tested with two BD with the same results.

The strange is that I have already made 8 BD-DVD9 without problem.

I hope that now it's more clear.

Thanks you for the patience!!

If I remember the LG BDP 370 doesent play the BD DVD9 made at BDRebuilder in full mode that is with menus extras scenes and so on....

But instead it will play nicely a BD DVD9 movie only!!!!

That is!!!

Yes. According to the Doom9 thread on BDRB-compatible players:

Movie Only
LG BH370 (may need to use strict AVCHD option OR delete CERTIFICATE/AUXDATA/BDJO/JAR/META directories)

What PC program are you using to play the movie?

When opening your player program, are you able to select the m2ts file in the "stream" folder with your player to play the movie? Have you tried a different player like tme or splash?

Edit: View the reply post from the professionals above... They've been at this game way longer than I have and it sounds like they have found the solution to your problem. If you get it resolved, make sure to post the results so others can learn from your experience.

After you get the bd9 output from bdrebuilder, do you run it through avchd patcher? I think i've seen people stating having problems with bd9 discs if they didn't run it through avchd patcher before burning.

If you still have troubles try a different method. I don't use Milotis' guide(not to say it's not good), see this for my method.

Thanks you for your reply and I have already read that seems that BD370 (note that mine is -BD370- not -BH370-) play only BD-DVD9 movie only but .... isn't true, sorry. I have already write that I have done 8 BD-DVD9 full disk that are absolute ok.

Anyway isn't explanable why the movie have the same problem also on the pc.

One other strange thing is that, if I take one of my previous disk they are playable without problem also on the pc

Seems that only from a couple of month, all the new BD ripped don't run.

My mother board is ASUS P5K 3,6 and GeForce 8800 GTX.

Yes, If I select the m2ts file I can play it.

I think that this will remain a mystere!!

Yes, I have run the avchd patcher and anyway I am using exactly the same your tools.

Same unit, AFAIK, except with Simplink (for controlling several LG devices). That's the only reference to the BH-370 I can find anywhere.

If yours plays full disc, don't ever change the firmware.

Would you mind telling us the title of the movie? It might provide a clue as to what's wrong. Maybe a complex BD-J menu?

[EDIT] BTW, here's another list of players that can play BD 5/9 and AVCHD. You must be lucky because this one also says the LG BD-370 can't play full disc. Must be your firmware.

Hi Fritzi....probably you right!!

I checked and seems that the problem is for the disk that have a BD-J!!

Finally I can say that the BD370 (the mine ) can play a full movie BD-DVD9 but ..... only if it don't have BD-J.

Obviously i will "freeze" the firmware update :P

Many thanks to everybody for a great help.

[fritzi93]

That's just a guess I threw out there. I read in jdobbs bug report thread that java menus can choke BDRB. In which case you're stuck with movie-only. But I've never had to deal with one; I never keep the menu(s) except for episode discs.

If we knew the movie title, someone here could give it a test and try it on their stand alone player. My Sony BD-360, for instance, can play anything I've re-encoded with BDRB, with menus or without. [shrugs]

Anyway, good luck.

I second that. What's the name of the title? Everthing I've done with bdrb has played fine on the ps3.

[cormiodo]

For example, one title in Italian language is: "La terrazza sul lago" but I don't know the original title.

The one that I have ripped (full disk) without problem is "San Valentin day 3D".

[fritzi93]

Okay, the first one is easy: Lakeview Terrace with Samuel L. Jackson. The second I think is My Bloody Valentine 3D.

Both movies are BD+ discs, encoded in AVC and offer BD-Live content.

I don't have Lakeview Terrace and don't have any ideas. Anyone?
