smartLabs tsMuxeR: Transport Stream muxer

[Zow]

roman76r, his is just beautiful.

Please, consider adding subtitles sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

[yonta]

Thank you for the quick update!

DTS/DTS-HD tracks in EVO are now correctly recognized.
VC-1 in m2ts(NIN Live) is also working now.

[kleen]

Any chance to have demux option (enabled) as well?

[ultratoto14]

Problem with the new version.
Same AC3 + H264 muxed to ts with 1.1.5 is seekable with mpc and vlc but is seekable only with vlc when muxed with the 1.2.0 version.

[roman76r]

ultratoto14
Try this version (http://www.smlabs.net/tsMuxer/tsMuxeR_1.2.1_fortest.zip)

[ultratoto14]

Same problem with this version. VLC ok MPC ko

Another little requirement, is it possible to take audio delay from the source (ts, vob(ps3), mkv) and directly use it during the mux process ?

[survivant001]

just for the info.. I try a movie 264+ac3 encoded in 4.1. It work well on the PS3. ff + rw work. but it take like 2 sec after the ff to start playing.

but it works.. really happy

[zAndy1]

Looks like a useful app but not 100% sure what this does to be honest (sorry I'm a noob!). Can I just take a 720p .mkv file with AC3 audio and select that as the input file and the resulting output file should play on my PS3? Or do I need to do anything with the file before I use the tsMuxer GUI on it?

Thanks
Andy

if your not familliar with encoding process.. just download ripbot264 or automkv.

if you need more help.. just PM me.

[lance79]

Dude... thx alot for this tool, i just tried it on a wmv 720p sample and vc1 seems to work :)

I only had to convert wma to ac3 and muxed it to m2ts, after that i used tsremux to create blu-ray output plays fine on my ps3.

One question, a lot of movies come in 1280x544 or simular, it is not possible to create blu-ray/avchd with this without reencode to 1280x720

Isnt it possible to have a tool that edit,resize the images/frames of a movie asf,wmv or h264 that only ads black borders to it so it become a hd standard.
That would be a fast convert without quality loss...

greetz,

[roman76r]

Somebody can send me several examples of EVO/M2TS files with Dolby TRUE-HD audio? 10-20 Mb per file is enough.

[Joniii]

Thank you, i've been waiting for this for a long time :)

[tyee]

Just a quick question so I can experiment, what's the easiest way to grab a portion of the dolby audio track from an HD-DVD.

I use avisynth to grab a certain number of frames with the Trim() command (using VdubMod to view) but how to get the audio from the same frames??

you using nero vision to create your avchd disks atak? Does the transcoding degrade the quality much if the source is about the same size (ie m2ts file is 4 gig. and you target a dvd-5)?

[roman76r]

New beta version of tsMuxer with "Dolby True HD" support available (http://www.smlabs.net/tsMuxer/tsMuxeR_1.2.3(b).zip). I have only one small clip with True HD, so I don't sure that this version work stable.

[Bigmango]

Holly Molley Roman, you are fast :eek:

:thanks:


Edit: if you get the time to look at the lvl 5.1>4.1 transformation problem... it doesn't work so we still need to use h264info to fix it manually. Thanks.

[starkhouse33]

Hi thanks for making this great piece of software. Cant wait until you add lpcm support.
Thanks

[Kiriakos]

Hey Roman, you rock man! Thanks.

[The1n]

:thanks: Roman.

[bobyewick]

very big :thanks: roman.
anyboby tested h264+DTS: I have no sound on vlc ,mpc,my tvbox...but its fine with AC3 and AAC.
Any ideas....?

[ToS_Maverick]

@roman:
please have a look at this stream, it's from german HDTV and won't mux correctly into TS:
http://www.megaupload.com/de/?d=O262L4JJ

it's more or less the same issue ultratoto had on the previous page:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1092649#post1092649

it's only seekable with 1.1.5 and the streams are not synchronous.

[Joniii]

Roman, tsMuxeR doesn't detect some DTS streams. If you convert TrueHD to DTS with EAC3TO, then try to open it with tsMuxeR, it says cant detect file. Here is a DTS sample (DTS, 5.1 channels, 0:01:07, 24 bits, 1536kbit/s, 48khz), I hope it helps fixing it.

300.dts (http://www.netikka.net/enclave/300.dts)

[bobyewick]

@joniii
Your dts file seems to be tag as DTS-HD (mediainfo) and not just DTS.Its maybe the pb.

This can be fixed with DelayCut v1.3 (http://www.madshi.net/delaycut.rar).
Once the file is processed by DelayCut, tsMuxeR will accept it.

People say this is caused by surcode v1.0.21 and v1.0.23/v1.0.29 don't have this problem.

[B4tm4n]

This even works on my Mac running via crossover, great tool.
Cheers.

Hi,

First I would like to say thanks for this great tool! It has a great potential!

I tried the latest beta version, with the true HD support, but it seems now that detecting others sound tracks in EVO is broken. I tried with the transformers HDDVD and I couldn't see the audio tracks anymore. It worked before with version 1.2

@puppydg68

How do you stream your .ts with tversity? For some reason, since I reinstalled my PC and installed the latest tversity, all my .ts (I'm sure they were working before) reported "Data Corrupted" on my PS3. The only way I found to make something work was to mux them in m2ts and rename them to .mpg

Guys I must be dreaming!!

I have on my HDD a demux of the Top Gun HD-DVD (which I own but want to sell my xbox HD-DVD drive as I'm broke)

(Video.mpv which is AVC 29.976fps h.264 and audio.ac3 which I made from eac3to from the DD+ file)

are you telling me I can now mux these two files into something which will work on the PS3?

[TEB]

Super tool!!!

1. Seems that the detection of filetypes under vista (32bit sp1) is a little bit fishy.. I ended up 5 or 6 instances of the program after adding 1 file and nuthing happened... Then i tried again since the screen didnt pause the window that was active..
2. Is there a slight possebility to make a PS3 profile which would imply various checks for the target-bitstream, like level 4.1, if .ts, and no .ac3 track = failure or a notification and so on..

PS! Anyone know of a more stable upnp server than tiversity ? It crashes all the time on my XP..


best regards TEB

@glen8
I just tried this with Txformrs and it didn't play back on my Pc properly but that might be due to it being an old P4. SMPlayer seemed to try and play it back but in slomo. The aspect ratio did look correct but could not be displayed for the file properties.

MPC plays back a really strange video - 112x3840 is the playback resolution! Tall and narrow! Weird!

I'm going to try splitting this final .m2ts I made and then try it on the USB HDD into the PS3. Please try it yourself and make sure you select to change the fps to "24/1001" in the selection when you go to mux your audio and video. Let us know if it works for you.

ok, I'll try it when I get home after work:)

I have tried many things to get HD-DVD over to Blu-Ray and nearly succeeded lastnight. I can get the video changed to 23.976 no probs but the audio is always out by 5secs. I tried adding a delay -5000 which makes no difference. It's weird!!

I already have transformers on blu-ray so I know it's possible

I shall try this new tool tonight

Most of my older .TS play without audio.. However 80% of the muxes from TSmuxer play fine with audio.. I did find 2 mkv's converted and one BD convertered required me to output as .m2ts (renamed to.m2ts.ts) to play on ps3. PS3 is a little picky. I still have yet to get a 1080p source muxed for play on PS3 unless it came from an official Blu-ray AVC file. I'm encoding something from VC1-x264 now, will try in a few hours.

[tyee]

@glen8
Just tried it before work and it worked great! It looked like the audio was in perfect sync but I could only play a few minutes. I will try all the segments tonight. Because of the fat32 limitation for the external USB HDD we have to cut each segment to not more than 4GB. I will also try re-encoding to x.264 to get the movie smaller in size, hopefully tonight.

Now the question becomes can tsmuxer do the same for a VC1 movie?? I don't believe that the PS3 can playback a VC1 movie from the XMB (cross media bar). Luckily Txformrs was AVC/x.264 and it worked. Can anyone else shed light on whether a VC1 movie will work from XMB or is it just from a disc??

[musicman2311]

great tool - I have successfully converted an AVC stream from HDDVD to bluray (with Tsremux help) and converted audio to ac3. It plays fine on PS3 when i do as is.

further observations - video is flagged at 29.97fps - when i select 23.97 as frame rate, it stutters, no longer smooth

wish for future versions: blu ray option (like tsremux)
with setting of time stamps and correct signalling of multiple audio streams ; possibility to set language code to be included in playlist

[glen8]

musicman,

Can you please detail all the steps you took to convert your HD-DVD AVC to Bly-Ray please.

I have Top Gun sat at home so I can try that tonight.

I have already demuxed the AVC H.264 stream and eac3to the DD+ to AC3

I will report back my findings.

Thanks.

[lance79]

Well i tried a wmv yesterday that was 1920 x 800
i extracted the vc1 stream and muxed to m2ts with tsmuxer.
After muxing to blu-ray with tsremux video plays on ps3 but with big green bar on bottem... so its not working
I havent tried x264 with tsmuxer yet, but from earlyer experience with other tools its the same result.

1280x544 m2ts in blu-ray structure (or without) play fine on PS3

[musicman2311]

hi again, unfortunately I noticed that even with unchanged settings, i.e. kept the 29.97 fps, playback was still not smooth. I will do it again to exclude errors on my part.

What I did:

1. add feature 1.evo
2. append feature 2.evo
3. remove any audio tracks shown
4. add ac3 elementary stream file
(converted earlier with eac3to)
5. run tsmuxer with .m2ts output
6. run result through tsremux 0019 with blu ray output (folders)
7. burn on BD-RE (for testing)
8. play on PS3

ok?

PS: I noted that latest version (1.2.3) showed less audio streams (one) from evo compared to version 1.2.0 (showed all)

[Zow]

Wow, this is RAPID development:-)

I am holding to my copy of The Lives of Others on Blu-Ray, hoping that Roman will implement subtitles soon, so I can put it on my hard drive as an MKV and put away the disk (I hate dealing with disks:-).

[glen8]

Thanks musicman

I just tried pretty much the same thing. It works on the PS3 but the audio is well out of sync. Tested on Nero showtime and its out aswell, fps shows as 24fps and video and sound look ok (ie no slowdown)

Tried again with 24000/1001 setting. This time audio and video are in perfect sync, audio is great but video has some very slight slowdown...nero reports as 19fps whereas Elecard converter studio tells me its 23.98fps

It's only very very slight but enough to put you off watching it

If this guy can get HD-DVD > Blu-Ray working I think this will be the tool of 2008!!!!!

:edit: I'm going to try running the video through H.264Info and manually setting the framerate throughout the entire file. Then muxing with this tool. Worth a try I guess

[glen8]

I'VE DONE IT!!!!!

HD-DVD > Blu-Ray

Both running at 23.976 with perfect audio/video sync on the PS3

I'll write a guide up later explaining excatly how I did it

now I am lloking forward to see your guide - i have seen exact same as you describe above (that is what i meant by stuttering), had the same audio delay.
please also state which version of h264info you used and what movie. I had problems with h264info and recent movies on hddvd

If your stream is AVC you won't see it. Tested many times!

Does that mean VC1 is not possible?

[puppydg68]

Thanks again for a great apps, just wanted to mention a bug i found.

I remuxed 2 Blu-rays since they only had DTS or True Dolby tracks an no PS3 compatible AC3 tracks. I re-did the audio with eac3to, then I added the original /Stream/000xx.M2TS from the BD into TSmuxer, and then added the new .AC3 muxed them together as m2ts and everything looked good.

However on both videos, I noticed about 12-20 visible video glitches throughout the movie. I suspected it may have something to do with the straight use of the .M2TS.. Witht the same movies, I then used xport to demux the H264 AVC file seperately, then I muxed the AVC+the recoded AC3 together with Tsmuxer, and watched the same movies, and they did not display any video glitches. Perhaps this is a bug, just wanted to report my findings.

Since I used the same method on both BDs.

I'm also having trouble creating a 1080 AVC file to mux and playback on PS3, can anyone point me to a guide for converting a VC1 to H264 (playable on ps3). I used to convert a VC1 HD-DVD to Mpeg2 with no problems using Henc, however since the birth of Tsmuxer, I figure I'll increase quality and save space by instead encoding to AVC/X264

Thanks for all of the help.


ps. for the above poster. VC1 remuxed into a .TS container does not work for ps3. VC1 is only playable in a WMV and it's very picky, from what i have seen, no-one has successfully remuxed a VC1 HD-DVD into WMV without a complete re-compression for PS3 play.

[jamos]

only issue i have is the 4.1 lvl conversion is not working correctly.
