Version history:
October 30th, 2009 - v0.31.01
- Corrected an error in which some larger menus were not being processed as such, and did not display graphic overlays correctly.
- Corrected an error that can result in out-of-sync audio and playback problems on some MPEG-2 sources that use pulldown flags.
- Created two new hidden options that will allow a user to tweak the X264 command line.The options are "TWEAK_PASS_ONE=" AND "TWEAK_PASS_TWO=".Any assigned options will be passed to and override setting on the default command line.Note:Any settings that could contradict BD standards are not allowed to pass through to the command line.
- Added hidden option "KEEP_MBTREE".Normally BD-RB removes the .stats.mbtree file after successful encode.This will keep the (rather large) file so additional passes might be done (manually).
- Corrected an error in the updating of the STN_table() related to type of stream_entry().This could be a cause of issues on certain titles with PiP.
- Fixed an error in the calculation of the new syncstart PTS of some SubPlayItems.
- Corrected a glitch in BATCH mode so that AlternatePlaylists are recorded and used during batch.
- Updated the included version of X264.EXE to the latest release (r1310).
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

some help for the previouse comment.

i had the audio/video sync problem on one disc. my solution was to change settings ive found different blu-ray disc's seem to like different settings.
what i mean is for example i mainly use bd25 output , high quality for encoding and NOT using quicker encode for extras. sometimes changing the encoding settings between high quality and high speed (bd25) is needed for sifferent disc's. ive also found some disc's have trouble playing (for me) depending on the setting quicker encode for extras, i prefere to have it off but sometimes need it on. i suggest just change a couple settings for the disc you tried and try it again and you may find it works fine or even just do it again with the same settings as thats even worked for me (must have been a hickup in the pc during encode).
and get some bd-re's for test burns first.

Great program. I'm no computer whiz, but find this program very easy to use. My one problem is then creating a BD-25 with lossless audio, I get some synchronization problems between the audio and video when I want the final product (lips flapping do not match the words coming out). Once this problem is gone, I'd give it 10/10 (and 11/10 for value for money)!

Works fine for me using Win7 64bit with the correct 64bit codecs etc and a little TLC.

The software is still under development, so it aint going to be perfect, but if DVDrebuilder is anything to go by, it will get better and better and end up extremely reliable.

If ya don't like using beta software with its possible limits and down falls, then i suggest you go find another piece of software that is fully functional, bug free software that does the same as BDrebuilder.... :)

I wonder if the previous Win 7 complainer has tried ...oh I don't know, running the program as administrator and checking the results. I've done it, works rather well, and now even faster since I converted to a 64 bit version of Win7.

im sorry but in responce to the last comment about this program being junk due to no windows 7 support.

firstly you do realise windows 7 is still young.

secondly this is only a BETA program.

thirdly i HAVE used it on 5 completely different installs of windows 7 and had NO problem ONCE i installed all the tools it first needs installed. ive only ever had one problem with itand that was due to conflicting software i installed messing up my windows and had nothing to do with bd rebuilder or windows 7 itself.


i suggest you check your config, make sure you pc is running correctly, make sure you install AND configure the programs bd rebuilder needs and if all that fails LIVE with it and once again remember its a BETA and windows 7 is new. i dare you to even attempt to make a program like this one!!!

keep up the good work Jdobbs !!!

I'm confused by the many good reviews. My experience (as a winodws 7 user) is that at it's current state it's junk. To be a programmer and not support Windows 7 at this stage is madness. "i don't support it, so stop asking" is not a reason. It's easy enough for ANYONE to get a retail copy of Windows 7 work with that. All the programmer has given is excuses (tons of them) and attitude (tons of it). From what I've read on the boards Windows 7 user results are hit or miss. But don't take my word for it, download it and check it out for yourselves.

Great tool, some minor errors but updates are continious so what more can you expect.

If you dwnload the "Kllite" codec pack you will have all the above tools in one pack to get BD_ Rebuilder to work.

BD Rebuilder is the best program out there for backing up blu ray discs.

I utilized to backup Race to Witch Mountain, Watchmen, and Coraline (superb) to DVD-9 and BD25 after three aborts. Downloaded and installed latest versions of component software and codecs, followed milOtis guide exactly on settings and Voila!

Is there any reason can't use Slysoft's freeware Virtual CloneDrive or MagicISO Virtual CD/DVD Manager instead of Daemon Tools to “mount” the AnyDVD produced ISO file for processing by BD Rebuilder? Has anyone used either for this purpose?

I have been using this program for months and through many betas. I have only had 1 problem, 1 time and it was fixed almost immediately by jdobbs. The program is updated often with bug fixes and added features.

I use bd rebuilder to convert my blu-rays to movie only so I can watch them through Vista media center using media browser. I must say it works fantastic! I "shrink" the movies down to 10gb and honestly cannot tell a difference between it and the original on my samsung 46 inch tv.

I found the program easy to setup after following the posted instructions. There is now a batch option (awesome) and I now run two movies overnight.

My only advice is to make sure to read about the program as much as you can before using it. There is a "bug reports only" thread over at doom9 that is very informative, though it is lengthy.

I posted a previous review. That review was based on the fact that BD Rebuilder stopped working completly. This is no longer the case and now (with the exception of one project) everything that I throw at it works. It's creator has sent mixed singals in regards to this program's compatbility with Windows 7. But if you use Windows 7, and are lucky enough to find it working on your system, you will find that it works very well. Until something better comes along (probably from Slysoft with a record of excellence) this is your BD shrink program.

The issues with Windows 7 are caused by Microsoft's reduction in their support for VC-1 in their Directshow codec -- not by BD Rebuilder. Also, please remember that as of today there actually is no final release of Windows 7... it is still in test. By the time it is truly released in October it will be supported. Maybe you should write reviews on the thousands of commercial packages that are also having issues with Windows 7 as well?

in responce to the previous post i have been using bd rebuilder with windows 7 for a few weeks now. currently with the rtm/final build os windows 7 64bit with no problem at all.

i would like to also say GREAT program. my first testing with it was with full disk backups to dvd-5 and dvd-9 bit of hit and miss but i now just do full disk backups to bd-25 (found some for $8 each) and have had no problem with playback on my panasonic bd-80 player. keep up the good work and can't wait until we reach a stage like with dvds where we can still do full disk backups but removing unwanted stuff like the fbi warnings.

While it's a wonderful program, it has one major flaw. It does not support Windows 7. This will be a huge problem going forward and may change any time soon given the comments of it's creator.

This version works for me--In the BD 25 mode took about 3 hours to do a full disc backup-Burn with image burn and played fine in my Sony BR--Excellent quality results..Kudos to the developer!

Used BD Rebuilder to shrink a 27gb movie, with subtitles, to under 23.5Gb and burned to Blu Ray with Nero. Brilliant results on a Samsung BD1500 player. With continued developemnt this program could well be the tool of choice for me.

BD Rebuilder, though still a beta, feels a bit "industrial". The temp folder should be auto generated as well as have the option to select a destination in the settings tab. Encoding on a quad core q6600, 8gb RAM, win7 x64 takes about 8 hours at best (though I think that's just because it's HD and not SD: higher res and bit rate).

Other than a few cosmetic changes BD Rebuilder does a good job at shrinking BD50s to BD25s.

WOW! I backuped up an entire Blu-Ray in only 6 hours!! (8-core Xeon, 8gb ram, Skulltrail D5400XS motherboard, Pioneer 203 Blu-Ray Burner).

This is amazing!! My test was with Benjamin Button (over 2.5hr movie!). AWESOME
