h.264 avc source

[kevukjag]

Would someone take pity on a poor dumb noob and tell me how i can edit, demux and encode the BBC HD H.264 AVC MBAFF source to Xvid or X264 please. I use a nebula digitv card to capture the show to ts from free to air digital terrestrial broadcast.

I have bought coreavc 1.1 pro but am not having any joy with it for encoding. Its beautiful for watching the ts streams with via mplayerclassic but thats all.

I cant seem to get Haali media splitter to work or appear anywhere, I was hoping that I could cut streams with that but I'm starting to suspect it isnt a splitter in the sense I thought it was (to edit and demux).

I have also tried elecard xmuxer pro 2 which worked at first but gave god awful badly interlaced mpg output and refused to detect the audio ac3 stream in the ts (which aint much use). It also elbowed out the lovely coreavc codec and replaced it with mainconcepts jumpy attempt.

Apologies if I have missed something in previous posts but I have searched the forums for weeks now and scoured google without success.

Thanks for you help in hopeful anticipation.

Kev.

make "test.avs"
write in: DirectShowSource('ur file', [fps])
open that in VirtualDub

you are set :)

:thanks:

That works beautifully thanks Sirber.

is there a tool that would allow me to cut out adverts without any loss though?

[Sirber]

Virtualdub? :)

avisynth trim() :)

think projectX might split/demux? not sure since only mpeg2 broadcasts here :(

Sirber thanks for the avs tip, But there seems to be a size restriction on the .ts file.

Directshowsource cannot seem to handle any file over 2 gb (which is about 12 minutes of BBC HD broadcast).

And as the Audio is broadcast in AC3 I'm not sure that Vdub can accurately cut the audio and video and retain sync with so much information in the .ts file.

Is there a way to use the CoreAVC pro decoder to open the .ts in virtualdub via avs?

PS anonymez I've tried ProjectX along with most other tools claiming to cut mpeg4/h264 available without any success. They don't seem able to cope with the header information on source h264 ts files.

well you could disable decoders/lower merit for other avc decoders till coreAVC takes over, or create a graph with graphedit, use directshowsource() with that

as for demuxing, mplayer http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=110312
