Avstodvd wont convert blu

[spiritgumm]

I had good luck with an earlier version of Avstodvd to convert blu to dvd a year ago. I needed to change my OS (from W7 Pro to Home), and had to reinstall everything. I installed the latest Avstodvd. It fails after a few minutes. I tried the earlier program, same problem. I reinstalled the latest version again since it has more idiot-proof features. I tried tweaking some of the ffdshow filters, then tried converting the movie, and the trailer, but no luck. My system is 64bit, and Avstodvd installs ffdshow 32 bit - I dont know if that matters.

I tried converting the trailer with another program (I think it was Clown BD). I didnt set it right so I got a duplicate. For the heck of it, I tried the dupe in Avstodvd and it converted. So I copied the movie over as I did the trailer, loaded it in Avstodvd but conversion failed.

The movie is a 3D/2D film. I dont know if that has something to do with it. The file plays in MPC, and when loaded in Avstodvd, the tool "Build a Directshow filter graph" will play it. I ran the Win7DSFIlterTweaker, but no improvement.
I tried a few other programs, but none seem to work (or actually convert to dvd with proper options, like cropping, etc).

I ran into a few issues trying to convert Blu-ray to dvd using AVStoDVD, mostly due to DTS HD MA format in the original audio. I switched over to BD Rebuilder for conversion to DVD-video and have had good luck with it.

If you want help with AVStoDVD however, you should include your log file from the failed encode.

Regarding ffdshow, I believe AVStoDVD requires the 32bit version, which should run just fine in your 64bit operating system.

I started to use BD Rebuilder, but got a warning window that it needed to modify my Directshow registry. Wasnt sure I wanted to do that, so I ignored it so I could check out the program. Didnt find any cropping options (for dvd output). The movie is full screen movie with black borders on the sides (MediaInfo says it's 16x9), but I would want to crop them.

Avstodvd sees and loads the audio files when I add a video, but it's not processing them, generates an error and aborts. If I just try to output elementary streams, and remove the audio files from the title window, it will process the video (both movie and trailer) with FFmpeg 1-pass.
However, I prefer HCenc 2-pass, and it stalls when that's called. I tried replacing the HCenc 26 beta version that came with Avstodvd (subbing into it the last stable version), and it now will process the video - as long as the audio files are removed and arent included in the aviysnth script. I can demux and process those separately, but I shouldnt have to.


Here's one of many logs
