Well the good news is the the version I made with v1.4.6 worked... sorta. The video played fine, but I chose the 6 chnl audio only and I and it isn't playing though my Samsung LCD tv. I probably should have included the 2 chnl English track as well.

That can't be a problem with your TV. Let me help :)...

Are you using HDMI to connect your player to your TV?

If you are then set your player to decode the audio on board and send it as 2 channel PCM. Your TV should be able to handle this fine. There is no point sending 6 channels to a TV as they only have stereo speakers. The only time you could benefit from 5.1 is to send it to a surround sound set-up.

Or when you say 6 channel audio, are you referring to DTS? If you are then you need to make sure you create a Blu-ray disc (or BD-5/BD-9) as m2ts media files can not play DTS. If you want 6 channel audio from a m2ts stream, Dolby Digital 5.1 @ 640kbs could be a good choice.

I ran Batman Begins through 1.6.1 and it didn't crash.

I am playing this through a PS3 with HDMI. I've tried both Bitstream and Linear PCM for the audio output and still no sound through the TV.

What audio format is it you would to include in your remux?

Can you send me problem file?

[idbirch2]

My goal is to convert it to DTS and re-mux, so I really need 6 mono wave files.

Have you tried eac3to for this conversion?

[VisMan]

Hi Roman,

thank's again for this wonderful tool!
Did you think about AC3 muxing for DVB compliant TS?

I have uploaded the XML Export from TSReader for a recording made by my STB.
http://rapidshare.com/files/102236144/ts.xml

Maybe you can take a look a this and implement this feature in tsMuxerR?

I also can provide samples of such streams if you need.

[Lacix]

Any plan to support text subtitles (.srt ?) for Blu-ray muxing ?

[DoomBot]

Can you send me problem file?


The thing is i was joining m2ts files with tssplitter then ran it through tsMuxer and thats when i had the error part way through, so i cant really send a problem file because it would be way to big. This error code was only when i used tssplitter for some reason. I was tring to join these files a different way because i and many others are having problems with the joined parts right after each one there is a stutter and or a skip , we are using hardware media players like TViX or popcorn hour these kind of players.

Some one on Networked Media Tank said it like this....

http://www.networkedmediatank.com/viewtopic.php?t=864&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=

("Its the lack of proper tools thats causing this.

Videofiles cannot just be joined by a simple "join cmd" - this only "glues" the parts together to make it look like a single file, like creating a playlist. But a video and containerstructure has to be properly reconstructed at the joinpoints to make it one single videofile. There are gop and sequenceheaders that need to be reconstructed etc. or it will still just be 4 parts in a "playlist", and there will be a stop and start for each part.

This maybe so small that you dont see it when playing back on a pc, the softwareplayers buffer may make this behave as seamless branching, with no visual stutter at the joinpoints, but it may be difficult for a hardwareplayer to do the same.

I guess remuxing with TSremux as you do should theoretically fix this, but it seems that is not the case, and TSremux is not able to properly create new gop and sequenceheaders.

I think we will just have to wait for better tools to emerge out there.")


By the way, Thank you for this great tool!

Thank you very much, I've been a Linuxer since long time ago...and I hated using windows last months just for blu-ray stuff...your program will reduce my Windows-using time about 85%. :thanks:

Send me the GUI code and I'll try to port it.

In case you want to send it by email:

Can you send example of these file?


I have take out linux version of a tsMuxer. Somebody wants to port GUI to linux? I can send source codes of tsMuxerGUI written on delphi7.

I've tried running the linux binary from your website with the following error:

/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.9' not found

Looks like it was linked against an older version of libstc++

Anybody else have this problem?

[Ryu77]

Any plan to support text subtitles (.srt ?) for Blu-ray muxing ?

Yes...

I don't know. I think it is supread problem. Anyway I plan to add .srt support in tsMuxer.

There you have it, straight from the Author! :)

I am also eagerly awaiting this.

@roman
Does tsMuxeR take care of seamless branching when joining multiple Blu-ray .m2ts files?

i am new to tsmuxer and have run into a small prob that i hope i can get some help with... i have an 1080p m2ts file... i muxed it into a ts file with the h264 stream and down converted the dts stream to ac3 via tsmuxer... i stream the resulting file via tversity to my ps3...audio works fine but video constantly pixelates and distorts.. i am using a completely wired network and other 1080p files play fine... is there n e thing i can do in the gui that can help... thanks

[CGJ]

Good，fhans

[Wiewior]

I try to "shrink" BD-DL to "typical" BD. And it works fine, but only if I use an option "Insert chapter every...". If I use "Custom chapter list", created Blu-Ray disk plays wrong - Nero ShowTime shows only black screen - and information that the stream is encoded in MPEG-2, while it's in MPEG-4.
Is this related to the k-frames or something?

Can you read your original m2ts file with a player in windows , properly ?

no it doesnt even looks like it starts to play... i get just a black screen... ffmpg starts up and haali media splitter starts up as well (system tray)

BD noob here:

So I just riped my first Blue Ray disk (it's BD+ and that's excellent!) and I have 21 .m2ts files and I don't know what they are. Are they all the movie just broken up into 21 pieces? If not and the largest one (which is considerably larger) is the main movie, how do I know what the others are? I tried to remux them all by appending them and tsMuxer got mad at me.

Well, try and open them in a media player and watch them.

On Linux, I've found that ffplay will play pretty much any HD file. Not sure about other operating systems.

[saint-francis]

That one file seems to play the entire movie but nothing is having a good time trying to deal with it. None the less is this how people are determining what is in which .m2ts file?

[west]

@zelos...
vlc doesnt play the video (ts) either but i do get sound... however wut i found interesting is that vlc recognizes that there is a vid (it expanded its main window) stream there but it showed a black screen....

[setarip_old]

@west

Hi!

Sounds like your M2TS file is corrupt.

1) What software and procedures did you use to create the M2TS file?

2) You'd probably be best off re-ripping from the original source material (disc or satellite broadcast?)

[west]

@setarip
idk if u have read n e of my previous posts... but wut i have done is took the original m2ts file and used tsmuxer to isolate the video stream and the audio stream (which was down converted to ac3) the resulting ts file streamed to the ps3 but the video became pix elated immediately, never a smooth picture.... zelos has led me to believe it may be a codec issue but i havent been able to get it working yet... wut i am currently trying is using the new ts file into vlc and convert it to program stream and then stream to ps3.. ill update later on wut happened... thanks to everyone who has been helping.... (ive been at this for months!!)

tsMuxeR does not seem to recognize an HDV file captured on Linux with dvgrab from a Canon HV20 (http://www.camcorderinfo.com/content/Canon-HV20-Camcorder-Review.htm) camcorder. The file should be a regular HDV file, MPEG2 codec, 1440x1080i, 29.97fps.

I wish to convert a 720p mkv video file with DTS audio track to M2TS (Ps3 compatible) using tsMuxeR. I know tsMuxeR doesn't like DTS audio so I have to convert the DTS track to AC3. Where can I find a guide to help me in this audio conversion task? any help is really appreciated.
thanks

[saint-francis]

its a downloaded bluray movie...

Oh man! You came right out and said it didn't you?:eek: Haven't you read the rules? Buy the movie or don't ask the question. Or else you're going to get stuck in situations like this. It's probably best that you delete that post.

well ur right... its just a weird sit... basically dnt loan out ur movies to idiots... ive seen other peep on here saying similar things but thanks for the heads up well appreciated....

where do you figure tsMuxeR doesnt like dts audio. your thinking that ps3 can't play dts audio (not even pass it through to receiver)

even if the file has ac3 audio already (compatable on ps3) i dont think just using tsMuxeR to make the mkf .m2ts will make it play on ps3.

there is a prog called mkv2vob which will remux an mkv to avc to play on ps3. or if it has to (it auto detects) it will transcode the file to your choice of mpeg-2, xvid, or x264. it also recodes dts to ac3. either way it makes a file that plays on ps3 from your mkv, so that is prob what you are looking for.

Just a question, why is it against the rules to say that it's from a downloaded source? Yes, the rules state you can't provide information relating to copyright infringement (rule 6) but there is nothing to say the downloaded content isn't perfectly legitimate, also there is nothing to say that it is.

My understanding is that as long as you don't specify that it is indeed a case of copyright infringement, then no rules have been broken. Is there anyone that can clarify this?



MimiK and Quatre, for tsMuxeR to output DTS in a playable media format, you will need to select Blu-ray output. After the Blu-ray folders have been created for you, simply burn them as UDF v2.5 with Nero or ImgBurn.

MimiK, if you still want to convert the DTS to ac3 so you can export a m2ts media file instead of Blu-ray, I would recommend using EAC3to for this conversion.

oh sweet imgburn can burn as udf v2.5? cool, so i can take my .mts files that my avchd vid cam produces and use tsMuxeR to mux to bluray output and then burn in imgburn as udf 2.5.

haen't seen that option on imgburn but will give it a try at some point.

id like to add music to the avchd authored disc i make though of our baby.

[Ryu77]

Quatre, you will need the latest version of ImgBurn, previous versions didn't offer the UDF v2.5 burning option.

[Encoder888]

Hey,

I've been using TSMuxer co concatenate m2ts from seamless branching movies, and I've been getting audio delay/sync problems. I know the new 1.6.3 is supposed to take care of that, but I'm still getting the same results. I've also used TSMuxer in combination with TSRemux... Still the same problem. Any advice? (the movie is Enchanted)

[nekowhizz]

Hi Encoder888

When sticking seemless branching movies together, you normally have to remux them twice, so I tend to remux to .ts or .m2ts and then to blu-ray or again whatever format you wish. Never failed once, though there was one movie I had to remux three times :eek:

To Roman the creator of this masterpiece of a program:thanks:
I seem to be having a strange problem when remuxing Dan in Real Life BD, where it says the streams go out of sync or something like that... TsRemux doesn't have the same issue, but once muxed playback is wrong, as the video slows down and speeds up at various points... very strange! I'll get the exact error message shortly.

[survivant001]

@roman76

there is a problem with the spliting file in bluray.

I just watch a movie that I encode. It's split the file a 4gigs and create the playlist, the chapters works.. but there is one problem.

when will play the movie, you will obtain Invalid disk when it,s time to change to the second playlist. If I replay to movie and skip by chapters it will works, but it's still a bug.

Maybe you can compare with scenarist to see what is the difference in the sequence.

[gav1577]

@Roman hi i have a m2ts 1080 file which will not playback on the ps3 in bluray structure created by tsmuxer 1.6.3b i have tried the nero bmdv files on a avchd dvd and it wont work i just get a black screen but if i run the same file through tsremux it plays fine. please will you take a look and see whats causing tsmuxer to output a file that is unplayable. here are two 50mb bluray clips in bluray structure created from the same source. one has been created by tsmuxer and the other by tsremux

I know it works in xmb. it does not work in avchd /bluray structure
when burned to dvd. i doubt there are burn errors if there were surely i would get burn errors with the structure created by tsremux too what i need is someone to confirm this issue by burning to avchd and let me know that the structure created by tsmuxer does not work and the structure created by tsremux does thanks :)

[tchrin]

Hi Roman

I own the following hardware:
Sony HDR-SR1
Sony PS3 60 Gb
PC Core Duo running Vista SP1, 2 GB RAM
I use the following softwares
TSMuxer 1.6.3(b)
PowerDVD 7.3
Media Player Classic
K-Lite Codec PAck 3.8.5

Merging files is OK
-----------------
I am using TSMuxer to merge my small .M2TS files.
Those merged .M2TS files play great on my PS3.
I can play them as well on PowerDVD on my Vista PC.
This is the tool I have been looking for a long long time.

Blu-Ray authoring does not work for me
--------------------------------------
When I try to generate a Blu-Ray structure with TSMuxer, everything seems to work, ie: the folders get generated with the right names, the right files.

I can play the .M2TS files that have been renamed to 0000x.M2TS with PowerDVD or MPC. Then I burn a UDF 2.5 DVD using Nero burning room 8. I include the \BDMV and \CERTIFICATE folders.

When I attempt to play the DVD from PowerDVD
When I attempt to play the DVD from my PS3

I get a black screen and no sound.

I have read all the comments in this forum and others and tried again and again, but I have not been successful so far.

Can you help?

[fib0by]

I get a black screen and no sound.

This is odd. I did something similar, except I used files from a different AVCHD camcorder (Canon HF10), and burned the disk with ImgBurn, but then the PS3 was able to play it just fine. tsMuxeR has a less than optimal way of setting the chapter marks, but nevertheless, at least the BD image was playable.

I'm willing to do a test if you can put a short m2ts file somewhere online so I can download it. Don't process it, just download it from the camcorder and put it on a site. I can author it with tsMuxeR, burn it on a DVD-RW then test it on the PS3.

I'm using the latest 2.20 firmware and remuxed Rambo First Blood MKV with DTS-ES and @5.1 1280x544 to M2TS and it played perfectly (at least the video) in my PS3 under the XMB.

Tested with Terminator 2 same profile and audio and video was perfect.

Tested with Terminator 1 same video profile and AC3 audio and both audio and video perfect.

With other remuxes of those sources I wasn't able to have any video at all under my XMB.
Building a bluray structure to test with my PS3 now. Will post here later.

It will be great if 5.1 is supported under AVCHD disc. We could have subtitles after pelican add suport for 544p and other custom resolutions for his tool SUPread that converts SRT to SUP

[Pyth0n]

Burned the BD structure of Rambo 1 First Blood @5.1 1280x544 and DTS-ES audio. I just added the files to the tsmuxer and made it create a blue ray structure for me.

The PS3 started to play the disc and yes, I got image on the screen but with a big green area on the botton. The area corresponding to the missing 176 pixels to reach 720p I guess.


For who doesn't want DTS and doesn't need subtitle the just remux is great now since the PS3 support others resolutions.

yes you are correct it has to be 1280x720 or you get green bars/bar

When you say Terminator 2 with same profile worked ok, was this also a 1280x544 @5.1 profile dts mkv remuxed into an M2TS without 4.1 profile change? Did audio and video work streamed, or from the internal hdd?

Not sure exactly what you want, I use tsMuxer to populate the 2-3-4-5-6 directories one at a time with the videos that I want to be the 2nd title then 3rd title etc., then use a batch file to copy and rename the streams, playlist and clipinf into the “1” directories, then burn the contents of the 1 directory.
I have also used movie factory 6/w bluray to create the menus.
I don’t know enough about the structure of the menu, playlist or clipinf files to create them from scratch so I use one of these programs to create the files for me. If you know of another program for menu creation that also creates the playlist and clipinf files I’m sure it would also work.
Don't bother yourself anymore, I got them by other way. Thanks for the idea! Will spend weekend trying...

The T2 was @5.1 1280x688 with DTS.
The video plays but XMB doesn't play DTS.

I remuxed only the sample from the movies and put them in a 2GB SD card.

Remux only not reencode or profile change. The profile kept @5.1 and tsmuxer id it as 5.1

[mrr19121970]

I had a problem with Casino HD-DVD with both ripped onto the hard drive and direct from the disk. I was using v1.63 (same with V1.61), after 86.3% through, I got the message tsmuxer must end (send details etc). I also tried he output from evodemux with the same result.

update: i tried v1.65, but that detected the stream as 30000/1001 (not 24000/1001 like the earlier versions). it failled after 3.6%.

update. i got it through 100% now. evodemux (0.627), vc1conv (0.3), tsmuxer (1.63). very long winded, I've never had to do that before - always tsmuxer handled everything. i've yet to see the result on the tvix 6500a yet.

Any ideas. Thanks. Mike.

[mrr19121970]

I also had a problem with cars 'seamless branching' playing on the tvix 6500a. The playback after creating ts or m2ts with tsmuxer (1.63) would play fine on the ps3 or pc with powerdvd. however the playback would stick/jump at the seams on the tvix 6500a.

Now i just tried demuxing the video/audio with tsmuxer (1.63), running through h264info (22 alpha) and then muxing the new video and original audio with tsmuxer (1.63) and the result plays perfectly in the tvix.

does this mean there is a bug in tsmuxer ?

So you figured out a way thats cool, there must be a bug in tsmuxer then, hope it can be worked out.I have the tvix 4100 and have the same problems with joined files.

[radius]

Hiya,

in case it has not been discussed before, i'm facing a problem with subtitles timings when concatenating files, I wanted to encode the simpsons movie bluray (it's splitted in 6 files) with french 'forced' subtitles so I created 1 big file using tsremux, the problem is when I demux the sup streams then use 'em in supread, the time is reset on each of the 6 parts of the movie :/
the only way i found to counter this is to assign each srt (from each sup) to its movie part then concatenate in avisynth but 1 correct sup / srt would be better :)

PS: there's an error with the concatenated 'forced' sup I get and supread, while the normal full lenght subtitles work (except for the time problem), but it may be a supread bug as well

Thanks your great work :)

[guru1968]

Hi,

tsMuxeR, latest version (as of writing 1.6.3) has problems demuxxing certain subtitles!

It does not complain at all, but the exported sup-files don't work! - e.g. SUPread and suprip won't work with those!

- this definitely is a tsMuxer issue, SUPs exported by xportpgs (from the very same m2ts) do work very well...

greetz,
guru

[roman76r]

New version 1.7.1(b) is ready.

- Bug fixed: Now pulldown info correctly processed.
- Ability to remove pulldown info from stream added. All video codecs are supported: H.264, VC-1, MPEG2.
- Some small bug fixes and improvements. Also tsMuxeR package size is decreased and dependings to other libraries have been removed.

did you fix the problem with the splitting option int he bluray ? We obtain invalid disc (on the PS3) when the movie reach the end of the first part of the movie

roman76r, I can port the GUI to linux.

If you want to send me the code by email, this is mine:

For those re-muxing MKV sources it would be most useful, as the PAR signalling is often removed from the stream and placed within the container.

While not. Can you create 2 identical releases in sonic scenarist and tsMuxeR? And make sure what release from sonic is work on PS3. When I'll can compare releases.

[gav1577]

@roman have you had a chance to take a look at my samples i uploaded yet? i still am getting a black screen and no sound with all my 1080 files when creating bluray structure/avchd dvd regardless of what format they are in even original files straight from bluray without encoding give the same result. this is very odd as all my files will play on my pc and if streamed to the ps3 and also from ext usb. btw all files will play in avchd dvd/bluray structure if created by
tsremux any ideas :confused:

ps this problem is apparent also with latest Version 1.7.1(b)

Thats what i have been doing just wanted to know you were aware of the issue and wanted confirmation that its not just me who is getting this problem i uploaded some samples but nobody has yet confirmed i guess it just my ps3 then as i seem to be the only one to be experiencing the black screen no sound problem

thanks

[Ryu77]

What is it? Picture aspect ratio?

Pixel Aspect Ratio



Edit: My bad... I just realised this was already answered. Isn't PAR the acronym for Pixel Aspect Ratio not Picture Aspect Ratio? I thought AR meant the Aspect Ratio, which is what the player uses to determine the picture AR.

Am I misunderstanding this? :confused:

[Quatre]

maybe tsMuxeR could auto update (like mkv2vob) or better yet give the option to update within the prog instead of having to dl the new option and then uninstall/delete the old.

@Roman. Thanks for the good work. Please keep it up.

I tried Cars (all regions with 28 files) with V1.71, and can confirm that tsmxuer still doesn't join the files together the same way as demuxing, running through h264info and remuxing. there is still the bump at the seams, judder, audio out of sync followed by a frozen image when played back on the tvix 6500a.

Update: I also retried Charlie & The Chocolate factory HD-DVD. It went through all the way to the end, but I got several E-AC3 Out of sync messages (which I didn't get using EvoDemuxer, VC!CONV & tsmuxer. The same for Bourne Supremacy HD-DVD, but this time it failled 63.1% through, with the 'encountered a problem and needs to close' message fo Offset 00044d1d.

Well, the reason for that is simple.....My Popcornhour box stutters If I want to play the movie in 24p as long as it is interleaced.

By using vc1conv I can play every HD-DVD smooth in 24p! That is the reason and I thought your removing pulldown button does the same as vc1conv.

As far as I know VC1conv doesn't convert anything it changes the header....

[73ChargerFan]

First, I demuxed a TS file into the H264 & LPCM streams.

The LPCM track was exported as two 6-channel wav files, due to the size limit of the wav format. SurCode DTS needs 6 separate mono wav files, one for each channel. I wasted all day trying to create these, and most of the tools aren't up to it.

Finally I used Audacity 1.3.4-beta to merge the parts, rename the streams (it named them 1, 2, ..., 6), then exported the separated streams. DIFFICULT.

Encoded LPCM track to DTS 1.536 mb/s using SurCode DVD DTS version 1.0.23.

The .dts file gave error "can't detect stream type" (latest mpc can play it, but for some reason the length was expanded from 131 minutes to 133 minutes.)

A 6 channel DTS .wav file was recognized as 2 channel (so does mpc.)

tsMuxeR v1.7.2 correctly recognized the DTS Compact file .cpt.

Now I'm trying to remux the results.

Q1: Should I enable or disable "Add picture timing info" and "Continually insert SPS/PPS" options for the H264 stream? What are these options?

Q2: Can the options be explained in the first post?

Q3: Can the readme.txt file be translated from russian to english?

Q4. Can an option be added to export LPCM tracks to separate channels, as mono WAV files with the names "FL, FR, CENTER, LFE, SL, SR"?

Thanks for all the hard work.

[73ChargerFan]

I cleared the two options, "timing info" & "SPS/PPS" and muxed a few minutes work, and the results look and sound good.

When I mux, I get the following messages in the output:
Decoding H264 stream (track 1): Profile: High@4.1 Resolution: 1920:1080p Frame rate: 23.976
H.264 muxing fps not set. Get fps from stream.


Why the error message about the fps not set?

The message is simply letting you know that you didn't set the fps manually and it will get the information from the stream.

In regards to your "Add picture timing info" and "Continually insert SPS/PPS" question... I would also like to know detailed information about what these options actually do.

See Ron writing:

Resetting the interlaced flag to 0 (yes)
Resetting the pulldown flag to 0 (no)
Resetting the frame rate to 24000/1001 (yes)
Removing the FCM (yes)
Removing TFF/RFF (aka RPTFRM) (no)
Removing UVSAMP (yes)
Removing that last byte if it is 0x00. (no)

I don't clear the pulldown flag. I just set RPTFRM to 0 in each frame. This seems to be the common practice on Blu-ray streams.

I tried this software yesterday on 2 films, both are 1920x1080 mpeg2 23.976fps m2v files, I also had .dts 6 channel 1500kps for each of them.
I tried muxing to m2ts as well as Blu-ray structure, both films ended up with no audio (I tried playing the .dts and it's fine on its own)

@roman76r:

1.7.2b seems to work (any changes comparing 1.71.b related to that issue?) but I would feel better if you could make the other changes too because Mediainfo says again 1080i and I don't know what happened if Popcornhour brings a new firmware version.....

[n0mag!c]

I tried this software yesterday on 2 films, both are 1920x1080 mpeg2 23.976fps m2v files, I also had .dts 6 channel 1500kps for each of them.
I tried muxing to m2ts as well as Blu-ray structure, both films ended up with no audio (I tried playing the .dts and it's fine on its own)
U ain't say where you're playing movies. Please be more specific.

they aren't playing with audio on my PC in mpc or vlc. I'm wanting to put them on BD in BDMV format but cannot seem to get a working mux

You know, the same thing happens on my PC. DTS audio didn't play with MediaPlayerClassic with HAALI media splitter, but plays fine with power dvd. I didn't go deep with this issue 'cause it ain't really bother me as I'm watching movies on PS3 on AVCHD or BD-R(E).

[mmace]

it doesn't playback with PDVD either, will give it a go and burn to BD-RE then to see if it works on the PS3, cheers for the help (here & my other post)

Hi Roman

excellent tool keep up the good work ,
is there anyway you could get a DTS-HD to AC3 downconverter in there ???

I know I want everything ;)

many thanks again

Thanks. I'll work on it.

Why? every reveicer today could handle dts. And tsmuxer make a downconvert. So why?

Nobody needs it really

You forget PS3 users that don't want to burn BR but play the streams from their hard disk or media server (mediatomb etc). PS3 cannot handle DTS within eg. MPEG containers. But it can play AC3 AAC aso. So it would make things easier.

btw: to convert dts to ac3 use ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i input.dts -acodec ac3 -ac 6 -ab 384K output.ac3

Why use 384Kbs, when the PS3 can decode ac3 at 640Kbs? Wouldn't you prefer the higher bitrate to increase the quality?

Sure you can even use 640K. This was just an example ;)

I still have issues with 1.7.2 and extracting subs, I am extracting from ID4, blu-ray, bd+ removed.
I have extracted 4 subs 3 us & 1 dk, and SupRead is only able to see the first line in one of the them, it gets the number of lines and timings correctly though, whereas SupRip is able to detect all text in all 4 files succesfully.

same here with Pirates 3. maybe it's a bug in supread...

[hero88]

I have now tried to demux a sub using tsremux 0.0.20, and supread is still unable to read it so it seems to be an issue with supread and not tsmuxer. Suprip is still able to read it.

Suprip has an issue with the timings though, so if anyone else has issues, here is my workaround.

Get the subs, load them into supread and save the srt without doing anything, this will save the timings.
Now load the sub into suprip and ocr it, save that also.

load both srt files into Subtitle Processor and copy the timings from the supread created srt to the srt created by suprip.

Save the suprip created srt again and you should have a file which should be working correctly.

Hi Roman76,

thanks for the powerfull tool.

I have a problem with version 1.7.1/2. The program regulary crashes when I try to demux or mux a H264/AC3 TS stream. Alternatively the program terminates with the message "Bitstream exception. It does not have to be! ...".
Earlier versions (1.6.3 or lower) work fine.

Any ideas ?

Thanks

@kurt, hero88:

try demuxing the subs with xportpgs, that worked for me before tsMuxeR 1.7.2 was out...

(the demuxed streams are not identical, so there are chances that tsMuxer stil has SUB issues)

BTW:
CLI syntax is:
xportpgs -jhus <filename> 1 1 1 <subtitle stream no>

demuxes one subtitle at a time, always with the name bits0001.sub (into xportpgs installation directory); be sure to move or rename that file before doing the next subtitle...

Crashing immediately for me too (1.7.2) when trying to remux a BBC-HD AVC/AC3 TS file to M2TS.

Q1: Should I enable or disable "Add picture timing info" and "Continually insert SPS/PPS" options for the H264 stream? What are these options?
I turned off SPS/PPS options, and my remux of the h264 stream into a TS container worked well and seeks fine. I still don't know under which conditions these flags are necessary.

I found an explanation of PPS in the h264info thread. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1120380#post1120380)

What program can i use to make a 720p suntitle SUP file?

[fib0by]

I have several .m2ts input files. I Add the first one, then I Append the rest of the files (so select Add for the first file, then select Append for all the remaining files).
I select the "create Blu-Ray disk" option, then click on the Blu-Ray tab.
There are 3 options for chapters:

no chapters
insert chapter every X minutes
custom chapter list

It would be very nice if there was a 4th option:

- insert chapter for every input file

This would be incredibly useful for .m2ts files downloaded from an AVCHD camcorder, where each file is typically a different scene. When creating a DVD or a BD, it's typical to insert a chapter for each scene - and since every scene is a different file, the feature request becomes obvious.

As a bonus, it would be nice if, when selecting this new option, tsMuxeR would not create one single huge file in the STREAM directory, but instead leave the files separate (essentially, if there are 5 input files, create 5 files in STREAM).
But that's less important. The most important thing is the authoring feature of having a chapter inserted automatically for every input file.

That's actually how some AVCHD camcorders create the BD image on the flash card in real time - each scene is a separate file, and if you burn the flash on a BD, each file plays as a separate chapter.

This feature would make tsMuxeR very useful for people who create HD content with AVC camcorders (and probably with HDV camcorders too).

Thank you.

Glorioso, did you read that guide thoroughly?

The method stated there uses Sonic Scenarist which can accept subtitles exported as a custom image format from Subtitle Workshop 4 (srt method).

I have successfully created a 720p BD-9 with switchable subtitles using that method.

Well, I upgraded my version of GCC and that helped.

To do this easily on ubuntu, I just grabbed the latest gcc-snapshot package. I then made sure libstdc++ was pointing to the version from that snapshot.

This seemed to solve the problem, but I haven't had the time to test any actual demuxes or muxes though.

I see. I still have 2.7 installed. Maybe you could test it and let me/us know if it's worth the effort.

I'm having a little problem with a mux. The source files are a video (1920x816 H.264) track and a DTS audio track. The process seems to go fine:

Except for the "761.4% complete" part, but I guess it's just being thorough :)

only as I i media stream to 4 rooms , 3 of which just have HD tv's
no AV recievers , so just me being lazy:devil:

and this would make it the only tool I required
at the moment I have to demux and m2ts stream ,

convert the DTS to AC3 in media coder and remux to m2ts ,
for use by my popcorn media tanks

now if I could do it with this one tool !!!!!:):thanks:

[ElrondElvish]

There seem to be more than a few MKV files that have the DAR encoded in the container and the aspect ratio is missing from the video stream (a 264 stream for example).

tsMuxer doesn't seem to read the DAR from the MKV container and write that to the ts container, thus some movies are muxed with the wrong aspect ratio (the actual ratio of the encoded video instead of correct display ratio). An example:

Input MKV
Video #0
Codec : MPEG-4 AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG4 ISO advanced profile
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 432 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 2.35

Output M2TS
Video #0
Codec : AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG-4 AVC
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 432 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 1.630

Can tsMuxer be updated to read and thus write the original container DAR, or otherwise, is there a tool that can write the correct DAR to the ts output that tsMuxer generates?

:thanks: Thanks.

[Warrex]

chamb_link

Yes. I have started to improve subtitles support in tsMuxR.
I plan the following:
1. Add .srt subtitles support and ability to convert srt to PGS
2. Add dvd subtitles support and ability to convert srt to SUB.
3. Ability to convert SUB to PGS
4. Add HD-DVD subtitles, ability to convert HD-DVD subtitles to DVD SUB or PGS.
5. Add other txt based subtitles


Very impressive list! Would be cool if there was later on also an option to only extract forced subtitles (if they are not in a seperate stream).


Btw: Now that BD edit has correct chapter export (see below), would you please consider adding millisecond support for chapters?

tsremux any ideas :confused:

ps this problem is apparent also with latest Version 1.7.1(b)

Hi roman i have done some tests and found the reason i am getting
a black screen and no sound with 1080 files. the reason is tsmuxer
is not producing an CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file for 1080 files only for 720. i took the CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file from a structure created with tsremux and dropped it into the structure tsmuxer created and it plays when burnt to avchd the problem is 1080 = no CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file can you fix this please :D

EDIT: Nevermind the newest version seems to work fine thanks :)

Hi roman75r,
Great work, thanks for the time and work you put into this program.
BTW
I've used SupRead and generated a subtitle for a 720p project.
Interestingly when I import it into TSMuxer it says it has 1920x1080 resolution.(Maybe some problem with SupRead)
If I use this subtitle creating a blu-ray DVD then I can't switch off the subtitle in PS3.
Is it a problem in tsmuxer or do I have to do something else with the project or is it some issue with PS3.

[duramaximus]

First of all I have to say GREAT program.

I have been playing around with it a little and am wondering about the split option.

What is the split option used for. I mean, I know you can split the file into several pieces, but why?

Would this allow me to split a bluray up into several pieces and burn them onto DVD-R for playback on a regular DVD player?

Thanks,

Ps3 hardrive supports only fat32. Single file cannot be larger than 4GB. In order to copy you need to use split function.

Would this allow me to split a bluray up into several pieces and burn them onto DVD-R for playback on a regular DVD player?
You need Blu-Ray player not DVD-player :)

[duramaximus]

Supread does not generate 720p subtitles. You get only 1080p therefore you don't see them. (subtitles are below screen)

Thanks for your reply.

So basically if I dont have a PS3 but do own a Bluray player I will never use the "Split" feature?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It's up to you. It should work if split or not :)

There was a 720p option in Supread (Options/Image).
I see the subtitle.
The problem is that I allways see the subtitle I can't turn it off.

Roman, I am noticing that M2TS output is still sticking slightly when seeking (FF/REW). I and some others have found that running the raw h264 through h264info and then muxing with tsMuxeR with "Add picture timing info" and "Continually insert SPS/PPS" disabled, allows the file to play with seeking working perfectly smooth.

Any ideas what is causing this?

What options are recommended to be enabled or set to create PS3 compatible media files?

[amdxpdevil]

Does anyone try to Mux LPCM stream before? (2304kbps, 48khz, 24bit 2Ch sample)

I was trying to do so with TsMuxeR, but some how the Haali can't seen to find the audio track.. anyone know why?

Is that the problem of Haali (since LPCM support is incomplete) or will that be TsMuxeR?

The delay is calculated not correct !
Delay for sound tracks calculated as difference between PTS time of video and audio tracks. Your example contain next values:
8229871752 - first video PTS (pid 110)
8230479071 - first audio PTS (pid 121)
difference: (8230479071-8229871752)/90 = 6747ms

[dorati]

@roman76r

ok - you try to remux with this delay??
Its komplett out of sync.

If you playback the Orginalfile, the is ok!

What is the problem?

[Sidekick2000]

Hi,

is it possible to add a batch process to the tsmuxer gui?

I have over 300 HD movies in h.264 (.ts) and I have to remux them all, so that XBMC can play them.

Or is there allready a batch processing solution, which uses tsmuxer?

Thanks,

[fico99]

Hi,

I just tried to read and understand all the posts in this 47 pages long thread, but have still some questions about tsMuxeR.

Untill now, I have been using tsMuxeR to multiplex my H.264/AVC encodes with AC3 audio to M2TS files that can be played on my PS3 from a Storage Card, External Hard Disk Drive or the internal HDD.

Now, I am testing with the new output to "Create Blu-ray disk" feature and managed to create a "Blu-ray DVD" that plays on my PS3. I tried it with a VC-1 videostream (converted with asf2vc1.exe from an ASF demuxed video) and AC3 audio and it worked. Great!

But now, I still have some technical questions:

1. Does tsMuxeR put the correct frame rate of the multiplexed video's into the BDMV File Structure? I noticed that my 23,976fps based video played @ 60Hz instead of 24 Hz? My original 1080p24 Blu-ray disks do playback @ 1080p24. Maybe it's because my video wasn't 1920x1080, but only 1920x816 (with the typical green border on the bottom)?

2. Is it possible to create an AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disk BDMV File Structure that can be played on a PS3 from a Storage Card or an External Hard Disk Drive instead of a DVD or BD disk? Nero Vision 5 seems to be able to do this, but supports only AVCHD M2TS files with 1080i 25fps PAL interlaced or 1080i 30fps NTSC interlaced based videos.

3. Would it be possible to let tsMuxeR just add black borders to videos with a resolution of 1280x504 or 1920x816?

Many thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

[roman76r]

You can check BDMV files (include fps) in bdEdit.

I don't know what differences should contain BDMV files played with different media sources. I think, that the difference is not present.

It is possible. But I does not plan this feature in the nearest time.

does

You can use tsMuxeR in batch files directly. I have plan to add to tsMuxeR new fake track type "M_ALL". This feature will help to create batch files for remuxing all tracks from source media files.

[fico99]

Roman,

Thank you for your quick answers :)

I did a quick test by adding a demuxed 1080i PAL 25fps HDV to tsMuxeR, together with AC3 sound. When I launched the 'Blu-ray DVD' from the XMB interface, my PS3 switched from 60Hz to 50Hz playback. Very nice!


I don't know what differences should contain BDMV files played with different media sources. I think, that the difference is not present.

Unfortunately, the Blu-ray BDMV File Structure created by tsMuxeR can only be recognized by the PS3 when it is burned as a DVD5 or DVD9 in the UDF 2.50 format.

This is very strange, because when I copy the BDMV File Structure of an AVCHD DVD created by Nero Vision 5 into a root folder called 'AVCHD' of a FAT32 formatted Storage Card or USB Drive, my PS3 does recognize the BDMV File Structure as an AVCHD DVD when you open the Storage Card or USB Drive from the XMB interface.

There must be some limitation by using real Blu-ray Disk structure instead of using 'AVCHD DVD' format?

My idea was to multiplex to a Blu-ray Disk instead of just creating M2TS files. The major advantage of using the BDMV File Structure is that you can also play VC-1 encoded video on the PS3, use menu's and last but not least control the refresh rate at which the PS3 play your video's:

- 1920x1080 23,976fps or 24fps should be played @ 1080p24
- 1280x720 23,976fps of 24fps should be played @ 720p60, 1090i60 or 1080p60 using 3:2 pulldown by the display panel
- 25fps should be played @ 720p50, 1080i50 or 1080p50
- 30fps should be played @ 720p60, 1080i60 or 1080p60

IMHO, this is really important for judder-free playback.

[adalbertoma]

For the decision of this problem it is necessary to write a lot of code (special AAC class handled it is necessary for AAC tracks inside MKV container). I think this feature it not so important now. I continue to work at subtitles.



Many thanks for the reply, Roman! I could finally understand why it's still in there.

Your software is great!

Keep up the good work!

If you're really serious about this, then I suggest you look into obtaining some sort of commercial application. I doubt that an author of open source software would be interested in creating any HD-DVD authoring applications. I know HD-DVD was a great format but unfortunately for people like yourself, it doesn't have the future that Blu-ray does.

Ulead and Cyberlink make software that allows for easy HD-DVD authoring and it's focused on the consumer market (fairly priced and not too complicated).

[fico99]

Roman76R,

Just a quick message to thank you for the work you have done on tsMuxeR.

Today, I managed to create a Blu-ray BDMV File Structure containing 1920x1080 @ 23,976fps based H.264/AC3 video's that instructs my PS3 to send the video via HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma TV @ 1080@24p, just like with commercial Blu-ray Discs. A breakthrough!

Yesterday, I already managed to put both native PAL HDV 25fps 1440x1080i and native PAL AVCHD 25fps 1440x1080i camcorder footage to play with the PS3 @ 50Hz. Great!

The only things I would like to see is:
1. A very simple menu where you can select which video you want to play
2. The ability to play the authored BDMV File Structure with my PS3 directly from a Storage Card, USB Stick or external Hard Disk Drive.

For the second option, you will need to add a new option "Create AVCHD Disk". It seems that the PS3 can only recognize the BDMV File Structure from a 'AVCHD DVD' generated by an AVCHD camcorder or Nero Vision when read from a FAT32 formatted Storage Card, USB Stick or External Hard Disk Drive. For the moment I have to stick with Nero Vision 5 when I want to do something like that.

Many thanks for the nice software and keep up the good work :)

You can try to split output stream by size (2Gb max). May be your problem with FAT32 in large files.

I Have create Buray with TsMuxer and burn on DVD9 with Nero.
I have a PS3 and a Panasonic BD30.

The disc is a AVCHD for both players. The Panasonic BD30 don`t acceppt Vc1 on DVD9 ( AVCHD ) PS3 can play is corect.

Are mixed video formats not supported?

[fico99]

fico99

I don't think that's the problem because currently I am testing with small HDV and AVCHD samples (M2TS files are not bigger than 200MB).

However, when I look at the BDMV File Structure generated by Nero Vision 5, I see that in the \BDMV\STREAM folder there are files called 00000.MTS, 00001.MTS, ... instead of M2TS files?

The BDMV File Structure is a bit different too:

\BDMV
\BDMV\BACKUP (INDEX.BDM, MOVIEOBK.BDM)
\BDMV\BACKUP\CLIPINF (00000.CPI, 00001.CPI, ...)
\BDMV\CLIPINF\PLAYLIST (00000.MPL, 00001.MPL, ...)
\BDMV\PLAYLIST (00000.MPL, 00001.MPL, ...)
\BDMV\STREAM (00000.MTS, 00001.MTS, ...)
INDEX.BDM
MOVIEOBK.BDM

To let the PS3 recognize & play this 'AVCHD DVD' BDMV File Structure directly from a FAT32 formatted Storage Card, USB Stick or Ext HDD, you need to put the complete BDMV File Structure under a root folder called 'AVCHD':

e.g. I:\AVCHD\BDMV\...

@roman76r, you seem to be doing a great job here!

My personal favourite container currently is Matroska. Mainly for the following two reasons:

(1) FLAC support.
(2) The ability to give audio tracks a name.

Now I'm wondering: Do you think there's a chance to extend the TS specification somehow to allow muxing of FLAC tracks (without transcoding them to something else) and giving audio tracks a name? Is there a central place where such TS format extensions are discussed and agreed upon? Of course it would be bad if every programmer invented his own way of adding new things to the TS container...

When I try to process blu-ray with TrueHD audio track, I noticed some differences between the output of tsremux 0.20 and tsmuxer 1.7.3.

This caused the TrueHD audio in tsremux output can be recognized by PS3, but tsmuxer output failed.

I use hex editor to dump the PMT table of the output

I have a Sony AVCHD camcorder writing on Memory Stick. I can reproduce on the PS3 the AVCHD content directly on the memory stick (ac3 included)

I would be very much interested in transforming existing bluray backups (large files) into blurays with smaller files (FAT32 compatible), like fico99 describes, in order to play them in an external FAT32 hard disk.

If it helps I can send Roman a sample of the AVCHD structure used in the memory sticks (I also noticed that it uses MTS files instead of m2ts...)

Thanks for the good work

MTS = M2TS. It's just different extension but format is the same. Canon camcorders also use MTS extension.

[jagaskywalker]

When moving the content from the memory stick to the computer hard disk it creates m2ts files (using Sony provided software). I did not check if they are identical files (binary identical). It does not move to the computer the remaining AVCHD files structure.

Apparently it is possible to move back the m2ts files to the memory stick in order to play them in the camcorder. I did not check this though.

You can always use stream_type 0x6 (ITU-T Rec. H.222.0 | ISO/IEC 13818-1 PES packets containing private data). However, IMHO this stream_type is already overloaded since it's used for AC3 (in Europe) and DTS.

It's much better to have a unique stream_type, so that demuxers don't have to parse the audio stream to determine what it is. This is why xport doesn't work for non Blu-ray DTS.

Setting the stream_type to 0x6 is not enough. You need a descriptor that indicates what type of stream actually is in this PID. For example DVB AC-3 on stream_type 0x6 uses descriptor tag 0x6A (AC-3 Audio Descriptor) for identification.

There is a list of (maybe not all) descriptors here:

Here's another list:

As for getting a stream_type assigned, it looks like it would have to be from ISO/IEC, ATSC or SCTE. Since none of those guys use FLAC, I'd have to say you wouldn't get much traction with any request.

As for getting a stream_type assigned, it looks like it would have to be from ISO/IEC, ATSC or SCTE. Since none of those guys use FLAC, I'd have to say you wouldn't get much traction with any request.
Thanks... :(

I was going to demux audio from a movie either the pcm or truehd track, but what encoder is the best to use for truehd and pcm. nero, surcode, libav, or sonic what works best for each audio format?

[Lacix]

Did you have to create the .sup file? if so, how did you output it at 720p? SUPread can currently only output at 1080p and I've been trying to find another program to convert srt subtitles to sup at 720 res.

I've used SupRead and just checked 720p in Options/Image.
The generated .sup file is recognized as 1920x1080 in tsmuxer.
After creating a Blu-ray structure and burning it on a DVD the PS3 plays it with unhideable subtitles.

[DoomBot]

How come i cant demux lpcm to several mono wave files, the option is not highlighted? All of the demux options are not highlighted, somebody help please.

I cannot get this to work. Have you tried playing the Blu-ray structure on your computer? Have you also tried it by outputting .m2ts instead? I tried both on the PC and cannot get subtitles to show. I tried streaming the .m2ts to the PS3 and no subtitles. I currently do not have a DL-DVD to test but I suspect that it still would not work.

The options I have set in SUPread are:
- Format: Blu-ray
- Rate: 23.976
- Type: Non-drop
- Image: checked PNG and 720p

TsMuxer recognises the .sup file as 1080p, so I figured that was the problem, but you said it does the same on your computer.

I'm stumped. If you try playing the Blu-ray structure or .m2ts file on your PC with a program like Media Player Classic, do the subtitles appear?

Excellent program roman76r, I'm eagerly awaiting the version that has more subtitle support!

[Warrex]

- Image: checked PNG and 720p

Just as you wrote the 720p option comes from the "Image" section and only works for image output not for stream output.

Sadly there is currently no alternative to being patient.

Can anyone help me? I have several mkv files (720p). Video codec is MPEC-4 AVC and audio codec is Dolby AC3. I tried to convert the mkv file to AVCHD disc playable on my PS3. I set the output as "Creat Blu-ray Disk". If I convert 1 file, the AVCHD played perfectly on PS3. However, if I convert 2 files together on 1 dvd, I got nothing shown on PS3, not even an error message!! Can tsMuxeR 1.7.3 support to convert several mkv files on 1 dvd?

I've got exactly the same problem on my PS3 when I try that.
tsMuxeR doesn't support multiple video's on a Blu-ray Disk yet.

Ok, mystery solved.
I've made a mistake when reencoding the video to make it 1280x720. I've used the mkv as input and the subtitle was hardcoded into the output video. :o
Which program can be used to work with AVCHD format and add text subtitle ?

[DoomBot]

So does anybody here have an idea why i cant demux lpcm to several mono wav files or to a raw lpcm file, only thing i can do is demux it to a single wav file but thats not what i want. All the demux options for pcm are not highlighted, so is there something i am doing wrong or should have installed? Im lost on this one have no clue.

Please help

It looks like that the demux options tab for LPCM is a feature preview, planned but not yet implemented.
You can use eac3to to demux mono wave files directly from .m2ts files.

eac3to source.m2ts 2: mono.wavs

Track number depends on the source file.

[DoomBot]

Yes i have tried this but the results are bad they end up having a buzzing noise and you hardly hear the audio at all. Using truehd with eac3to i have no problems encoding to dts but pcm is a no go.

This may be good news for you guys!

I have more good news to report today – the system software update will also add DTS-HD Master Audio output for Blu-ray videos, which means the high-definition visuals of Blu-ray will now be matched with the highest quality audio for the ultimate movie-watching experience on PS3.

DTS-HD Master Audio is literally bit-for-bit identical to the studio master recording and makes movie soundtracks and sound effects truly come to life. The technology delivers audio at the incredibly high rate of 24.5 mega-bits per second (Mbps) on Blu-ray disc, which is significantly higher than standard DVDs. DTS-HD Master Audio also offers 7.1 audio channels at 96k sampling frequency/24 bit depths, so you’ll be totally immersed in the sound. The firmware update will add DTS-HD High Resolution Audio as well, which is a similar output technology that requires less disc space. You can read more about both codecs here.

DTS-HD support in PS3 firmware 2.30

[DoomBot]

So when might LPCM demuxing features be implemented instead of just demuxing to one wav file, what about the other two options?

[lordvader1982]

Quick question.

For converting my HD-DVD collection, I'm currently using the multistep process as described in the Blu-ray authoring guide
(evodemux -> vc1conv or h264info-> tsMuxer).

Can the current incarnation of tsMuxer replace that multistep process ?

Yes, with tsMuxer you can convert HD-DVD to Blu-Ray just for one step. I personally don't care about 24p output 'cause my TV can do inverse pulldown and then speedup with interpolated frames.

I have no idea what's new?

[AmNeSia]

Have been using this great program for a few days now and have run into a slight problem..

I was converting a "joined" .ts file (via TSSpliter) that was roughly 45 minutes long.. but when moved over to the PS3 it only played up to "4 minutes" of the video and showed the length of the file being roughly 1MB (or thereabouts) in length.. when in actual fact it was 4GBs and it played perfectly for the full 45 minutes on the PC.

Is there any way that I can resolve this problem in the future.. such as running it via another program, perhaps .. that resolves the correct 'duration' .. as it sounds like its somehow basing its duration on the first .000 ts that was joined.

[mpiper]

Great program! Any chance we can get the option to output the streams as an EVO? or even build a HD-DVD folder?

All the programs that I can find that write 3X DVD (mini HD-DVD) force the resolution to 1080P, so I'm trying to find a way to generate mini HD-DVDs with a resolution of 1280X720P.

Since this already reads and processes EVO files, I'm hoping writing the same will be easy to impliment.

Thanks!

Hi, I've converter audio to AC3 and remuxed to an M2TS. It plays fine on my computer but I can only get sound on my PS3, whats going wrong? Its at level 4.1 as well, also the trailers for the movie work but they were AC3 audio in the first place...

[lexor]

Last time I asked this, it went unanswered, but lets try it one more time.

Regarding the CBR options, how do I pick Bitrate and VBV Buffer size? No matter what I try I get buffer overflows all around. Is there a rule/formula for calculating them?

The TS bitrate must be higher than the combined peak bitrate all the streams in the mux. Usually the audio is CBR, so the video stream bitrate determines the TS rate.

For VBV size, I would think the muxer would determine this from the stream. However, the typical VBV size for MPEG-2 HD is either 9,781,248 bits or 7,995,392 bits for ATSC streams.

For AVC streams, 30,000,000 bits is what's used for Blu-ray.

Hi is anyone getting audio but no video since 1.7.3(b) ? :confused:

[lexor]

The TS bitrate must be higher than the combined peak bitrate all the streams in the mux. Usually the audio is CBR, so the video stream bitrate determines the TS rate.

The best I can get is 9500kbps to work on a video with 320kbps (cbr ac3) audio and 2200kbps max video. It generates 1.81Gb file from a ~400mb (vbr m2ts) source... any lower bitrate and it's vbv overlows all over. Perhaps bitrate has to be so high because I'm not setting vbv correctly?

tsmuxer asks for vbv in ms, how does one convert bits to millisecond?

[Diodato]

Hi is anyone getting audio but no video since 1.7.3(b) ? :confused:Yes I have the same symptoms, the PS3 will play audio only and no video with newer versions (though the PS3 correctly detects the AVC video type and shows it's current bitrate).

[Threedcoder]

I've got a fairly recent BluRay release that's been decoded.

tsMuxeR is not reporting any audio delay. However, after re-encoding, the audio is definitely delayed.

Anyone know how to get specific audio track delay(s) with respect to the video track? I don't care what application...I just need a correct audio delay (in milliseconds if possible).

Thanks.

[Atak_Snajpera]

xport

[Warrex]

You could try using eac3to (or xport AFAIK). It corrects the delay when demuxing. See here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1100197#post1100197

example: eac3to Original.m2ts New.mkv
This will give you the video stream remuxed as mkv and the audio tracks as ac3 or flac (for HD Audio Tracks).


example 2: eac3to Original.m2ts -demux
This will give you the demuxed streams without remuxing, etc. anything.

I have already tried eac3to and it produces the same out of sync results.

Granted this is using the TrueHD track, maybe I should try it using the standard DD+/AC3 channel.

Maybe it's something encoded into the disc? I have no idea. However it's definitely interesting that tsmuxer reports no delay and eac3to demuxes and produces the same delay.

I'll take a look at xport and see if it tells me anything different.

Thanks.

Even the DD+/AC3 track demuxed by eac3to has the same delay (I just tried it).

In this case it's actually an audio delay which means the video is starting before the audio, so in order to correct it, either the audio tack would need to be chopped off in the front or a delay would need to be added to the video track.

At this point, the only way I can correct this problem is with eac3to and "eyeballing" the delay. But what good is that really? More like a pain in the ass.

I've only seen one other movie that has things setup this way and it was an HD-DVD, and EVODemux reported the delay correctly.

[S3Ri0US]

I cant open the m2ts file from Gone.baby.gone... TsMuxer tell me that the file is undetect... with EAC3TO i have no Problems... can you check this PLZ Roman..

[Atak_Snajpera]

Roman is not a magician! You should provide sample!

[Joniii]

Roman.

There seems to be something wrong with .ts and m2ts files that TSMuxer makes. Some players won't play these files at all. For example:

I ripped The Rock Blu-ray.

1. If I play those .m2ts files, they'll play fine on any player.

2. If I load that .m2ts into TSMuxer I can deselect subtitles and audio tracks I don't need and then save as .ts or .m2ts, again plays fine on all players.

3. If I demux that original .m2ts with tsremux or tsmuxer then load elementary streams into TSMuxer, and then save either .ts or .m2ts, now these won't play on all players.

Only thing I can think of is that TSMuxer doesn't make compatible files.
I can add samples into my ftp if needed.

[wakebrder]

Thanks for all your great work on this program!

I'm having a problem with True-HD. If I strip everything but the video and True-HD track, the resulting file will not play with Power DVD . If I downconvert True-HD to AC3, the resulting file plays fine.

This might be a minor inconvieniece to some, but my Panasonic DMP-BD30 and Denon 2808CI both support the new HD audio codecs, so that's what I want on my backups.

Any thoughts?

Edit: I installed Nero 8, and showtime will play the True-HD clip with no audio. I'm only running analog audio on this PC, but shouldn't Power DVD down convert True-HD?


I'll try a small clip and see if my BD30 will play it.

Edit:True-HD clip plays choppy video with no sound on the BD30. I guess I'll just down convert to AC3 until this is fixed.
