Playback copies with Panasonic players after removing region code

[Peer]

Panasonic players BD30/35/50/55 refuse to play copied blu-rays after the region code has been removed and/or BD-Live was disabled by AnyDVD HD.

JayDox was asking whether a solution is underway - that problem will be fixed.

Unfortunately, I'll be unavailable for the next 3-4 weeks, so don't expect a fix before the end of February.

I promise, this will be right on top of my list :)

For the time being: copies that have neither the region code removed nor BD-Live disabled will work on those players.

[JayDox]

Great news!
Thanks a lot Peer!!! :)

[whatever_gong82]

Rats!!

I'm going to actually get a PC built with Blu-Ray capabilities within the next 1-2 weeks, and I hear about this Blu-Ray problem.

Oh, well. I guess that means I'll still deal with backing up regular DVDs for the time being.

:(

But, I will buy at least one Blu-Ray DVD just so I'll start getting used to the format.

As always, Slysoft rocks!!

[captain_video]

I believe he's referring to issues with certain standalone Panasonic BD players, not HTPC Blu-Ray playback. Your HTPC should not be affected by this.

[kento]

That's great news !

My Sony BDP-S300 should also be added to that list...

Thanks!

As far as I'm aware the Sony player doesn't have this problem with Java signatures

[MikeK61]

As far as I'm aware the Sony player doesn't have this problem with Java signatures

Yes thats true.
But when this issue is fixed no one should have a problem in this case.

[Tau]

As far as I'm aware the Sony player doesn't have this problem with Java signatures

Correct. My problem lies with region removal.

[Charles16]

What is the issue with removing region code? By removing your region code you can remove the prohibited operations for the users for a better experience.

No. UOPs and region code removal is unrelated.

[Adbear]

Correct. My problem lies with region removal.
In what way, you can still remove region code and play it back on the Sony players

[jaywindy]

Can someone explain how this java works, Is it registered in the main movie as requiring some link? how does the panasonic know that a main movie rip only came from a blu ray structure with java?

I even ripped just the main movie to M2ts , then used that M2ts to make a blu ray movie in Tsmuxer and the panasonic still stalled playback in ultra frame by frame playback with no sound.

I would love a explanation to what is occuring here.

thanks

[MikeK61]

Its stored in the Jar directory.
Movies wich not using java the dir is empty.
If java is enabled and you rip the disc with anydvd the files are three bit shorter when remove region code and BD Live is checked on.
This will be checked on Panasonic Players.

With muxxed movies its different only the m2ts file is in the BD structure so nothing to check for the player.
I think you made a mistake elsewhere.

[Tau]

I removed the region code from 'The Crow' (Region B) and it will not play on the Sony BDP-S300... plays fine on other BD players such as the PS3. Perhaps I should just submit a support ticket to SlySoft.

[rotty1]

My Problem and anyone else who has the Panasonic BD 35/55 is that it will NOT play ripped VC-1 coded Blu-Ray discs.
It will if you copy the whole disc but NOT if you single out a stream of video/audio only to play (i.e. say the main film)
EVERYBODY with the Panasonic will have the same problem.

This is not really a problem of the Panasonic players, but a problem of the freeware tools and how they mux vc-1 streams into the transport stream. The m2ts files done with tsmuxer are not 100% compliant to the BD standards. If you mux vc-1 streams with professional BD authoring software the discs play without any problem.

Java is used for (pop up)menus and some other stuff, it has nothing to do with the main movie itself. Maybe you also tried to mux a vc-1 encoded movie with one of the freeware tools.

[rotty1]

Thanks JayDox. Do you think that if/when Clone_Blu_Ray software is produced by Slysoft VC-1 coded discs will rip and play on the Panasonic. By the way what authoring software works for you at the moment and is it easy to use.

[JayDox]

Do you think that if/when Clone_Blu_Ray software is produced by Slysoft VC-1 coded discs will rip and play on the Panasonic.
I'm sure it will.

By the way what authoring software works for you at the moment and is it easy to use.
Since I'm working for a media company I had the chance to work with Scenarist 4.3. It's not that easy to use, at least when you start working with it, but it creates discs which are 100% compliant to the BD standards.

[jaywindy]

Hi Jaydox, I think there is more going on than you think, if your theory is right then why do these same ripped discs play in other brand bd players? It cant be the BD standard that tsmuxer uses, it must be something the panasonic is checking or looking for before playback.

Really i would no be too fussed about selling the panny and getting a sony for instance, but if this is something that may be introduced on other players through future firmware updates then it would be pointless.

Three of the movies that wont play are VC-1, two are H.264, Other titles in this format work fine, there is something that the panasonic looks for, even in main movie only rip, this is definately what i have experienced.

I have to agree with Jaydox, if you take the same video and audio stream, run it through Scenarist it then plays (Scenarist is what a lot of the original films are authored in in the first place) So it would appear that the free software doesn't mux the streams properly. Some players are more lax than others

Hi Jaydox

Hi Adbear, im using tsmuxer, if tsmuxer is not creating a 100% BD structure , why is it that about 50% of the rips work and the others dont in the panasonic, wouldnt all not work if the structure was the issue??

Are there any other programs you could suggest to use?

Thanks

[JayDox]

It all depends on how Tsmuxer builds the streams. I didn't say anything about the BD structure but rather the stream building. Scenarist knows what it has to do to make 100% compliant streams whereas Tsmuxer doesn't. The fact that 2 of us who have access to Scenarist can take the same video and audio streams that make a non compliant disc in TSmuxer, run them through Scenarist and it then works pretty much proves that it's down to the way that TSmuxer builds the streams

The Panasonic player looks for nothing while playing a movie only rip.
If you do some analysis on the m2ts files created with tsmuxer you'll find quite a lot of "problems" regarding timing information in the transport stream. That is what the Panasonic players are stumbling about.

Another example, if you take an m2ts file of a BD-J disc and just run it through tsmuxer without changing anything the movie starts playing at 00:10:00.
Actually that makes no sense.

So, if you would use one a of the professional BD tools with the movies you mentioned above they will play without any problem. Believe me ;)

[jaywindy]

Hi,
can anyone advise on a simple procedure to use scenarist to make a compliant blu ray (including compliant stream) of just the main movie?

Thanks

[Adbear]

If you have Scenarist then you should have the instruction manual on how to use it, It's not that difficult to follow once you sit down and read it, it only gets complicated when you start adding in menu's and other ****. Took me around half an hour to get the basics down on making a movie only with no instructions other than reading the manual

[rotty1]

I think the fact tha Scenarist costs in the thousands makes it a totally useless solution for 99% of us that do not have access to corporate usage to it.
Therefore another solution is needed.
CAN ANYBODY HELP.

[rotty1]

I forgot to say. If you create a Blu Ray output using tsmuxer and then replace the M2TS file with original by just copying from Blu Ray disc, i.e. replacing the tsmuxer derived M2TS file (renameing the number of course) the burned disc STILL will not play. This means that the original file straight from disc (main film only) untouched by tsmuxer, i.e. tsmuxer has only been used to create the rest of the Blu Ray files and folders the disc still fails. Therefore this removes the theory that tsmuxer's M2TS file is causing the problem as this is NOT a tsmuxer M2TS file.

You're are right, not only the m2ts files are "worthless" but also the clpi files of tsmuxer are broken! ;)
Thats why the disc still won't play in your Panasonic player.

[rotty1]

Thanks JayDox
I was wondering about that file myself, there is of course only one of those files as well if you select only one stream.
Im sure ive replaced that file in the past and left the file number on both the CLPI file number as original on Blu Ray disc and the M2TS file number same as original and edited the MPLS file to point to that file to as start up.
Although this is NOT a fault with AnyDVDHD, it does make it a useless program if after ripping you cant make a working Blu Ray disc.
So what do you reckon, Scenarist is basically out of the question for the vast majority of us, is there any other resolution or one on the horizon.

[Adbear]

Did you read the very first post in this thread? And, also if you read around the forum you'd see that Slysoft are working on 'CloneBD' style software

[rotty1]

Thanks for reply Adbear.
Thats GREAT news, I did see that but didnt know that it was certain. Im sure a great many people will be very pleased to hear that.
I would think that if a VC-1 coded disc works on a Panasonic BD-35 (Region A and B) it will work on any player.

[rotty1]

Hi Adbear
Just had a look at first item in this thread, it was talking about a fix for Region code removal problem not CloneDVD or VC-1 problem or have I got it wrong. But I have seen somewhere in this forum chat re Clonedvd for Blu Ray.

[Alan111S]

Hi all

I'd like to point out that I have had exactly the same issue that Peer describes in the 1st post of this thread with full backup BD-REs playing back in my Samsung BD-P1500. If the original disc contains BD-Java and you select 'Remove Region Code' or 'Disable BD-Live', then the backup BD-RE will not load the menus or play back the movie.

My Samsung BD-P1500 is a Region B Australian player running V2.0 (now upgraded to V2.3) Firmware.

Discs that were problematic were:-
Horton Hears a Who! and Matrix Reloaded.

I got these to work by recopying them with just 'Enable BluRay Support' ticked and nothing else on the Video BluRay options screen.

Tip: If you are concerned about making backups with different settings, one can copy the full disc using Imgburn with AnyDVD HD disabled or not running at all. The resulting protected ISO can then be mounted in Virtual Clone Drive with AnyDVD HD running against the Clone Drive and one can try out different settings. This is how I discovered which settings worked and which didn't.

[SamuriHL]

Or you can just use the AnyDVD Rip to image function with the keep protection checkbox checked. ;)

[jaywindy]

Can someone advise if they believe the panasonic problem could be spread to other brands through firmware updates, or is it relatively safe to change to a different brand such as sony?

Also the scenarist software doesnt seem as expensive as reported, see:

Its about $600.00. Not the thousands mentioned.
Thanks

[Adbear]

That's because they are selling illegal hacked copies. They call it version 2.0 but it should be something like 4.3. They also claim to be a reseller of AnyDVD HD which I'm pretty sure they aren't.
If they were originals why would they have this 100% clean:
clean

Blu-ray-Soft guarantees Scenarist is 100% CLEAN, which means they does not contain any form of malware, including but not limited to:spyware, viruses, trojans and backdoors.

Scenarist was tested thoroughly and were found absolutely clean, therefore they can be installed with no concern by any computer user. on each page. They're just making money off downloads from torrent sites (and in some cases a lot of money)
And when you go to the Scenarist page it goes on about Saga DVD ripper for the first paragraph.
Oh and yes we were wrong about it being a few thousand, here's a link to an official reseller of Scenarist Studio
http://www.aidinc.com/features/closerlook_Sonic.asp
Comes in at just under $16,000

[PIGSgrame]

They also claim to be a reseller of AnyDVD HDNo, they don't. They advertise for AnyDVD (/), but link to the original SlySoft ordering page.
You are probably right about Scenerist, though. I can't imagine a reseller legally offers an enterprise product for several thousand dollar below the regular retail price.

[Adbear]

No, they don't. They advertise for AnyDVD (/), but link to the original SlySoft ordering page.

Yeah I missed where the links actual go to.
On the Scenarist page it states 66.99, when you click on the link it takes you to the DVDitPro HD page which then costs $500

[Webslinger]

I don't want to see a link to that site again, please (and you know what I'm talking about). :policeman:

[jaywindy]

Hi, people got hooked up by the website link, I mentioned that for info. as i said in the first post :"that its about $600.00" which is a lot for any software program any way, I wont post that link again anyway .

but what i was interested in was my actual question :

"Can someone advise if they believe the panasonic problem could be spread to other brands through firmware updates, or is it relatively safe to change to a different brand such as sony?"

I still would like the forum members opinions if possible,

Thanks

Jay

[Adbear]

But the point being that that site was wrong anyway, Scenarist studio which only does profile 1.0 is $16000, that site was linking to DVDit Pro which is not the same and won't allow you to bring the streams in.
As to your question, no one can answer that one, who knows if they'll do it on other players in the future. It's just as possible that Samsung and Panasonic will remove this feature and go back to standard disc playback. If it was something that was going to be implemented across the board I'd have expected Sony to be the first to jump at it and would have expected it to have been in the recent firmware update for the PS3. Any comments made on here will only be assumptions and not facts so you may as well just make up you're own mind on whether to switch to a different brand because no one will be able to give you a definitive answer

[Hawk]

I bought Sonic Scenarist BD for $62375. (Actual price may be higher as of know, also note I got 10% off original price.)

Come with hardware dongle, key and program itself with user manual.

Here is the address where I got it from

Sono Video
5005 East Metropolitain Blvd.
St-Leonard, Quebec
Montreal, Quebec, CANADA H1R 1Z7

----------------------------------

Know I am planning to buy CCE HD for $75000. Already collected around $50000. Another few thousand to go. Probably by the end of this year or early into next year. :D

[rotty1]

Ok, I think most of us reading these posts so far will think were on another planet. The cost of Scenarist is irrelevant as it is out of the price range and sanity of 99.9% of us.
SO although the original thread was about region code removal, this also became irrelevant as if you cant burn a VC-1 disc and RELIABLY play on any player with or without Region code then there's no point.
My questions are:
Firstly, is there a clear indication from Slysoft that CLONE BLURAY is coming,
Secondly approx when,
Thirdly, will it resolve and produce 100% true Blu Ray structures.

I have just read this post back to myself and it sounds like im being stroppy, I promise you im not, its hard to put things in text sometimes as they give wrong feel.

[SamuriHL]

Things we know:

CloneBD is being developed.

Things we don't know:

When

Things we can speculate on based on past Slysoft performance but aren't guaranteed:

Very likely to be a 100% compliant Blu-ray structure for output

That's all the information we have at this point. I can promise that repeatedly asking for a release date isn't going to get one nor make the product appear any faster, so, that's a waste of time. (I'm NOT accusing you of doing that. Simply stating that we've seen that in the past when Slysoft was working on a product and they got constantly badgered with the "when" questions. It didn't produce any results whatsoever.) All we know is that they're working on it and it's likely to do everything we want it to when it's eventually released.

[JayDox]

Some people asked why Panasonic and not Sony was the first company which established some kind of BD-J integrity check in their standalone players, well, today I read in an article about the Blu-ray development team of Panasonic: " ... Panasonic, which has considerable experience in Java applications, developed the basic technologies for Blu-ray Java™."
Interesting and maybe the answer. ;)

[rotty1]

Thank you SamuriHL for your reply. That is much clearer now, hope it wont be too long. All the best.

[SamuriHL]

No problem. Hopefully when Slysoft does release it, we'll have an absolutely amazing product in our hands. I have very little doubt of that. :)

[jaywindy]

I have been experimenting with main movie rips on 25gb discs, I had problems with the panasonic not playing these discs, the video would not play and it had frame by frame advance with no sound. I thought this was a issue related to the Panasonic brand and consequently bought a Sony player.
The Sony bd350 then was better as it played the discs somewhat as the video was fine but there was no sound.

I then made a movie only disc and selected the ac3 track only, this played fine in the sony, video and audio perfect, no problems.

What is interesting is i put that same movie into the panasonic and guess what, it played perfect, it was a db iso with remove region code , and disable bd live ticked.

This was the same movie that would not play earlier, the movie has TRUE-HD sound made with tsmuxer.

Others are posting that they have other brand db players with similar issues, and i have to suggest that MAYBEE its not really a PANASONIC issue but the underlying issue that is causing discs to not play properly is the TRUE_HD sound track that tsmuxer mucks up.

All the discs that would not play in the panasonic all had one thing in common- TRUE_HD sound tracks.

Can others confirm this theory with their problem discs by making a bd without the true hd sound track and see if it then will play.

( note some true hd movies do play in the panasonic, i am talking about the ones that do not play)

[MikeK61]

No thats not the case.
I´ve tried that out, also jaydox.

Of course it played perfectly without TrueHD on your Panasonic player, let me explain why:

1. TSMuxer has a problem with muxing TrueHD tracks, thats the reason why these discs won't play in most standalone players.
But there is a little tool out there that fixes the TrueHD tracks in m2ts files created with TSMuxer. LINK (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1249864#post1249864)

2. m2ts files containing VC-1 streams created with TSMuxer won't play in Panasonic players but in any other player. And as you already figured out right that is something I would call a Panasonic problem.

3. If you do a movie only rip of your original Blu-ray disc it doesn't matter if you tick or untick "remove region code" and "disable BD-Live features". The BD-Java problem has nothing to do with the two problems explained before. It is only related to 1:1 backups.

[Peer]

It seems the fix is ready - I just did some successful testing.
Standby for the next beta, should work fully with the Panasonic players now.
I'd still like your confirmations then :)

[MikeK61]

Thats good news Peer.
I thought so while reading the other thread.
Bad enough i dont have a 50 GB RE disc.

Just wondering which program is Peers speaking of a fix for, is it TSMUXER or a Slysoft product. What is the fix for, is it the fix for ripped VC-1 discs with Panasonic players or something else.

Once again, the VC-1 problem has nothing to do with AnyDVD HD!!! The so called "VC-1 problem" which isn't actually a problem at all, is caused by TSMuxer and other freeware tools because they don't generate 100% BD compliant m2ts and navigation files.

Yep.
I´ve muxxed some titles with VC1 and it plays very well on my BD 30.
You can allways make a 1:1 copy wich will play just fine.
Thats no Slysoft problem.

[kento]

Jay and Mike , thank you for the replies.
I will test this tonight with a 50 BD-RE.

[rotty1]

That will play fine if 1:1 copy as has been previously confirmed and confirmed and confirmed. Don’t know about Panasonic BD30 but BD35/55 will not play tsmuxer or TSRemuxer produced re-muxed VC-1 file(s). The Panasonic seems to be extremely strict about BD structure.
Once again, although this is massive problem as the Panasonic BD35 is very popular, IT IS NOT A SLYSOFT PROBLEM.
As has also been mentioned many times on here, Slysoft may, we hope, come to our rescue with a NEW authoring product for Blu Ray as was the case for DVD.
As for why the VC-1 problem came to be in this thread, well, the original thread was about the Panasonic and Region code removal and Java problems, but, we knew that even if that was solved, the massive problem with ripped VC-1 and the Panasonic made the Region problem pale into insignificance.

[tyau]

It seems like the guys at DOOM9, namely the people who are active in producing BD-5, BD-9, and BD-25 with a program called Blu-Ray Rebuilder are about to have this problem resolved with Panasonic players.

[SamuriHL]

That'd be interesting considering BD Rebuilder uses tsMuxer. I'm wondering what they've got up their sleeves. Nonetheless, can we PLEASE keep the VC-1 stuff in the thread I created for it? Thanks.

[captain_video]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't a new version of tsMuxer just released that fixes the TrueHD muxing issue?

[SamuriHL]

Yes. And? That has nothing to do with this thread at all.

Is it possible to get a "broken .iso Image" work again???
Because I have made an image of one of my friends BDs, but I had enabled the BD-Live removing/UOPs removing and now as mentioned before the Image plays fine on my pc, but when trying to ply it with my Pani BD-30 it doesn't work...as mentioned before...

So my question is: "Can i rebuild my Image in anyway or reburn or whatever to get it work on my Pani...because i dont have the original disc anymore only my image???"

That's what I call piracy and refuse to help with such situations. My advice...buy it and remake the image from an original you actually own. :policeman:

Sry, i didn't know that this is piracy, because my freind knew i was making an image.

Unless your friend also owns the copyright to whatever it is you made an image of, then yes, that is the very definition of piracy and stealing.

making copy,making backup of friends movies is piracy
if u r friend knew then he is encouraging to do the piracy
making backup and copy for you that u own...means u bought it
:disagree:
how else we can explain/tell

My last mesage in this thread about VC-1
Have put a message about BD Rebuilder on the moved thread, it takes forever and re-encodes so not good. Like RipBot.
VC-1 thread has been moved to High Definition Software (tsmuxer authoring problems with Panasonic)

I ripped the blu-ray film Traitor to my portable hard disk, eliminated region code since the blu-ray is from region A and I am now in region B. It takes some 30 G memory. It plays perfectly using Western Digital HD Media Player on my HD TV. Only problem is that I do not have the original sound but the commentary. How can I fix this that I have the sound of the film and not the commentary of the producer???

Does your WD device play HD audio? by the sounds of it it doesn't so you have to convert the HD audio track to AC3 or DTS

the WD media player cant play HD audio as far as i'm aware. Try updating the firmware, latest firmware fixes LOADS of things.

Hi guys,
I am deciding between two versions of Panasonic Blu ray players. BD 35 or BD 60.
As far as I am aware bd 60 is a new updated version of bd 35. I am wondering if any one can confirm weather bd 60 would also be susceptible to problem described here. Bd-j discs with region removed and bd live disabled will not play on Panasonic players... I understand that this problem has been fixed with new version of ANY DVDHD. But I would like to know if backup BD disks made with older version will work OK on the newer Panasonic players (BD 60/80)?

Thanks
