Splitting UHD movie into 2 parts and burning to 2 50GB discs

JT5298

Okay, well I'm going to try this. I can take a standard Blu-ray movie and split it in 2 parts, save to a folder and burn to 2 25GB blank dics with no problem. I am not compressing the movie. The burned copy plays flawlessly on my UHD blu-ray player, or standard blu-ray player.

When I try to do the same process with a UHD disc the result is choppy playback on my UHD player. I am splitting the movie, and saving to 2 folders, not compressed, but 100%. I'm using ImgBurn to burn the 2 parts to 2 50GB blank discs. Now I understand that a UHD disc has a higher video bitrate and HDR vs a standard blu-ray, but it seems the process of splittng the movie and burning should still work. What could be causing the stuttering playback?

This is the exe file that solved the problem for lLoydS. He was basically trying to do the same thing and was having stuttering problems with the burned disc. He was putting one movie onto one 50GB disc though, compressing it.

Is the problem with my video card?

The 2nd post talks about UHD Copy with Turing support? What is this?

There has to be a solution to this.

Hi, please provide additional information to better check, the DVDFab13.log file and the fabcheck_internal.log file could be helpful for the developer to check it. Thank you.

Thank you, I can do that. I probably need to update my gpu.

★ Windows 11/10/8.1/8/7 (64-bit)
★ 4GB of RAM and above
★ 200GB of free hard disk space
★ A 4K UHD Blu-ray drive, see our Supported Drive List.
★ For the 4K HW Acceleration to work, you need:
Either the CPUs from Intel Kaby Lake series and above;
Or, the video cards from NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 series and above
★ Live Internet connection required to register DVDFab (little network traffic used)

This is my operating system

Dell XPS 8910
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700 CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40 GHz
Installed RAM 16.0 GB
AMD Radeon (TM) RX 560
Intel(R) HD Graphics 530

I am going to get a GTX 1650 and install that. I don't know if that is the issue or not. I'm not doing any conversion, just ripping the original movie and preserving it 100% to burn to disc.

JT5298

After doing some research, do I even need to update my GPU? I'm not doing any conversion(compressing) the movies. Just ripping a 1:1 copy. I have done 4 movies and the process is very quick, the main movie with one audio track takes about 45minutes. Obviously there is an issue with the burned movie stuttering, but is this because of the video card(gpu) or something else?

I will try a couple UHD discs and see what the outcome is. In the meantime if someone could respond to the question of whether or not the gpu matters would be helpful.
Thanks

I don't think that GPU affects the process in this case, there isn't compression involved.

I didn't think it would. I tried to upgrade my gpu, but I don't have a sufficient power supply. I'm stuck with what I have. Like I said the movie rips fine, it just doesn't play smoothly when burned to a blank disc. I'm going to try another movie today and rip the whole movie and then use tsMuxer to split it in half and see if that works.

how fast did you burn the blank disc ?? try burning at 4x or slower
and use good quality media such as Verbatim.

for imgburn settings - select Write files/folders to disc
Select BDMV CERTIFICATE directories to source.

From Options tab select UDF Revision 2.60

Thank you for the response. I burned the discs at 2x speed. I don't have any Verbatim discs. I know they are better than Optical Quantum, but I have used these for years with no issues.

I have ImgBurn settings like you said, except for the 2.60 UDF revision. I have been using 2.50.

Question about UHD drives. I don't see Pioneer drives on the list as being compatible with DVDFab. If I have the correct firmware can I use a Pioneer BDR-212UBK with UHD copy?

Mona

Pioneer UHD drives are not supported by DVDFab UHD products.

That's unfortunate, Pioneer drives are more reliable and have less read errors than LG.

Strangely one of the movies I backed up (SISU) I burned to 2 50gb discs would not play smoothly through my Panasonic UB820 player. I upgraded my GPU driver software and downloaded Media Player Classic HC (MPC-HC). I was able to play the movie on my PC using MPC-HC and it played smoothly, no stuttering like on my Panasonic.

I don't know if the driver software helped this or the upgraded MPC video player. Either way it still doesn't play nice with my UB820 player. I was going to try it again, but discs are expensive so I think I will try with another title and see what the results are.

I would think after I rip the movie and play the stream through MPC video player and it plays smooth, the disc should be fine. Not sure what is happening during the burn process that is not allowing it to play smooth on my standalone player.

I have used LG BD drives in my computers for many years and they have always performed flawlessly.

The LG I have now has been great. I've just read that the Pioneers are a little better at reading discs and more reliable in the long term.

Have you tried another dedicated UHD player?

The UB820 recently had a firmware update. Did you do it? I use the UB820 but did not upgrade the firmware as everything that I put in it plays fine.

I have made countless UHD discs using DVDFab Converter to generate an ISO output file and burn cheap Ridata discs without any failures using IMGburn with Asus and LG drives.

I have 2 UB-820 players both have the latest firmware. I don't own any other UHD players.

I ripped "The Revenant" UHD disc yesterday. Split the movie in 2 parts, burned it using ImgBurn to 2 discs and it plays fine. Not sure what happened with the other 2 titles.
