BD to Mobile/progressive fps degradation/failure

[Hokenweazen]

Thanks for the info. Man they are on top of this software, I like it.

I think the problem is in the encoding module that Fab uses for WMV and as far as I know, the developers acknowledge this and are working on this.

[Hokenweazen]

DVDFAB comes to a crawl, converting like .03 frames per second, sometimes it just stops and locks up. It does this on multiple disks too, but bluray to bluray ripping to disk works just fine.

I will try it again when DVDFAB is done converting my mkv file. Giving the file to mobile trial a try to see how long it takes to convert a mkv to wmv. Then I want to check the quality and if it looks good I may break down and purchase file to mobile also.

But I will try the bluray to mobile 360 to wmv option once again and pump it up to 1080p to see if that is working again. The one disk I used that on looked great streaming from my PC to my 360.

Once I find the right combo to get files to play over my network I am going to convert all my blurays so I can store them in my attic. I have a small house and we want to get rid of the DVD/bluray racks we now have and stick the disks in a box in the attic.

[GregiBoy]

I think I have read your previous posts on this. What happens?

[Hokenweazen]

I was using the 360 output to wmv @ 1080p, but as soon as I purchased DVDFAB bluray to bluray and bluray to mobile and entered my registration info, I no longer can get bluray to mobile to output to wmv @ 1080p like it was before. Even with the same exact settings.

[GregiBoy]

I though that the xbox360.wmv.wma.hd profile did and you can always modify any profile anyhow to give the parameters that you want.

Have a look at the readme document under the profiles subdirectory.

[Hokenweazen]

No other profile under bluray to mobile has 1080p output except the to mkv option. Unless I am missing something.

[GregiBoy]

You've got me lost here?

Are you using the Blu-ray to Mobile module?

What about using one of the AVI or MP4 profiles directly?

[Hokenweazen]

I just realized that I can convert the mkv to whatever I want with DVDFAB's File to Mobile option.

But I still would like to know why I can't just take a bluray image and rip it directly to 1080p with bluray to mobile .wmv ? I don't mind spending the money on another DVDFAB license for file to mobile, but now I have to rip then convert the mkv file to a wmv file, which takes a lot of time.

[GregiBoy]

Why not just use Fab?

[Hokenweazen]

Uninstalled DVDFAB, cleaned up all files and folders on hard drive from DVDfab cleaned up registry, then reinstalled.

Now it seems to work and let me rip .mkv files @ 1080p WOOHOO ! Thanks for the help.

I now need a program that can convert the .mkv to mp4 or.wmv file @ 1080p, then I will be set.

I still would like to know why I could rip with the trial version at 1080 using the 360 mobile setting to .wmv but once I put in my registration number it stopped letting me do that.

[Hokenweazen]

I will try a standard setting again, but they have not worked either.

And What I am doing now is the same thing I was doing when I was using the trial version when it did work.

I will let you know what happens when I try a standard setting under the 360 options.

I won't change a thing

Wait a minute.

0m 24.47s: convert profile(xbox360.default)

What is this? There are two presets in BRtoXbox option - mp4 and wmv. You created something and set as a default. I don't know what you set there, but it could cause problems. Would you please try one of the standard presets for me.

[Hokenweazen]

I turned off PhysX.

I do not see where I can turn off multi-CPU usage. But I did set multi-display/mixed GPU acceleration to single performance.

Turned off Power managment on the card.

Texture Filtering-Triliear optimaztion is set to ON

Max prerender frames is set to 3

Antialiasing - Gamma correction is set to ON

All other settings are either off or set to application controlled.

I made sure CUDA was the A/V codec, and it does the same thing. I am trying to burn from an image of a blu ray that I created as well as the blu ray drive, both fail.

DVDFAB starts and the encoding FPS's start out around 100, drop down slowly to around .09 and everything comes to a crawl.

Here are some entries from the internal log.

Thank you for the help ! I will keep trying anything, so give me any ideas you have. I am starting to get mad that I paid for this and it's not working.

BFG Tech GeForce GTX 285

Bingo. I have GTX 295 and I know what are you talking about. Our cards having multiple GPUs, and Developers are trying various scenarios to manage GPU workload distribution. It this point, I can tell it doesn't work right and it's unstable.
While they're working on it, I decided to "downgrade" my card to single GPU and suggest you to do the same until CUDA management is fixed.
If you install you card correctly, you should have NVIDIA Control Panel (right-click anywhere on desktop). Open it. Under 3D settings (left column) go to "Set multi-GPU and PhysX configuration". 1. Disable PhysX GPU acceleration and 2. Tick "Do not use multi-GPU mode". Close. Select CUDA in A/V Codec settings in DVDFab, and try again. Please let me know how it goes.
