smartLabs tsMuxeR: Transport Stream muxer

[EPiPH0NE]

Not if you want to keep the movie, which most people do.

I would just use the BD-RE 25/50 to watch the movies on the stand alone that decoded the HD audio for me -> 5.1 PCM or just do DTS-MA/TrueHD -> 5.1 PCM than remux myself and using multi set DVD-R's to 'keep' the movie :) You got to be filthy rich to be able to backup movies to BD-R or literally have money to burn and I certainly do not. I burn enough as is.

TrueHD problems

Have you searched through this tread ? Duppie has allready made several post around this board about his tests (and a few solutions) on TrueHD Muxing.

And people that try to transmux their original BD to DVD should start to think again. That would defenately not work on stand-allone players, and i'll doubt it'll work on PC's. DVD simply cant generate the transferrate needed. Read around, and especially several (allmost identical) posts i've made on the max. transferrates/bitrates that you can use on BD5/9 (BD stucture on DVD5 / 9).

Now that I think about it, I thought I read somewhere in this thread (or it could have been the eac3to thread) that importing a thd+ac3 audio track into TsMuxer instead of just thd, will work just fine. I haven't tried this personally, but you might want to give it a shot. You can convert a TrueHD track with the following command:

eac3to audio.thd audio.thd+ac3

Yes, it does work, but you apparently need to run the tsMuxeR output through TsRemux to correct errors.

I admit they are still pricey but they are coming down, I get my BD-R 25gb discs from eBay seller nikonekobaby, they're the cheapest I've seen for Sony and TDK discs.
It's the only option for me, there's no point in having an expensive home cinema amp and having all your ripped Blu-Rays on a PC which can't pass through HD audio formats. Having said that, Auzentech are due to release an HD audio solution for PC's soon.

It didn't work for me, whatever I do, if a TrueHD track goes through TsMuxer at any stage it won't play on my Sony BDP-S350 and Onkyo amp.
TsRemux on it's own works for me if I only need to re-arrange the contents of the original blu-ray.

That's guys prices seem OK but I would save yourself some serious cash over time and use my method with a single BD-RE 25 and a single BD-RE 50 for viewing on your stand alone and just use TSSplitter/tsMuxeR/HDBDSplit to archive the movies on DVD-R, you would just need to rejoin them and burn when you want to watch them. This is what I do now on my NMT, w/o the burning and it only cost me pennies on the dollar and for the price of 1 BD-R 25 i can archive almost 10 BluRay/HD-DVD's and 20 for the price of one BD-R 50. Even at Ebay prices. If you already have a stand alone why the need for HD audio on your PC? Just seems like a waste of money that could be used for something else when your BluRay player can already decode TrueHD and you could easily do DTS-MA -> PCM then burn to BD-RE for viewing. I would save your cash for a BluRay player that can decode all HD audio if you want to do the least work. But I guess to each their own. That is my ultimate goal and if you use my backup method you could easily save enough for a PS3 or one of the newer Sony players in no time ;)



Anyway, back on topic. Anybody get a chance to try out 1.8.6(b)? Does it fix anything?

Yes, tsMuxeR is known to not be compatible with some tracks hence they will not import. You can try TsRemux as an alternative.

I get this error when trying to remux:

The Bourne Ultimatum (HD-DVD -> TS (VC-1+ 5.1 PCM)

The Perfect Storm (BluRay -> M2TS (VC-1 + 5.1 PCM)

The only constant is VC-1 and PCM but I have muxed a lot of other VC-1/PCM BluRay/HD-DVD's w/o problems? I Googled and found a post over at SlySoft but the guy wound up re-installing all his A/V apps and I don't have time for that. Anybody know how to fix this or increase the AV buffer in tsMuxeR. I haven't tried running these through Scenarist yet but that's my next move...Anybody :confused:


sm0k3 time :)

[Nullity]

My fault, you are correct, MKVmerge doesn't accept TrueHD audio. I had thought I gotten it to work a while back when I was doing a bunch of format testing, but I must have been mistaken.

Sorry about that, I guess I should have tested it again to make sure before I replied. :(

EDIT: Oddly enough, when trying to import a thd+ac3 audio file, MKVmerge accepts it, but thinks it is an AVC/h.264 video stream.

I have an (unfortunate) update on this...

I emailed Mosu, the mkvtoolnix maintainer, about adding TrueHD support:

Hello,

I love your mkvtoolnix programs and I had a question regarding upcoming features. I see that you have recently added support for DTS-MA and 7.1 channel E-AC3 (in latest beta) audio, but I was wondering if you had any plans to add support for the Dolby TrueHD format?

I like to backup my Blu-ray disks to mkv and play them from a media server. Many Blu-rays include a TrueHD audio track that I would like to use, but as it is not yet supported, I must use a lower quality track, or convert to PCM which takes up a huge amount of hard disk space.

If you haven't already planned to, please consider supporting Dolby TrueHD audio.

Thank you for your time.

And his response...

Probably not. I don't have specs for Dolby TrueHD, nor do I have such files.

Regards,
Mosu

Bummer :(

Hello, when a ripped M2TS or TS, MKV file is opened in tsMuxeR (v1.4.8.b) I used to see the language of each track such as eng, spa, ger etc. but now it shows nothing against each track (all blank).
Can anyone please help me regain this capability?
THANKS!

Hi all, I wanna demux LPCM audio from one of the BD movies and I just found out that tsmuxer doesnt fully support the format.
When I try to demux it with tsmuxer I dont get track info in the status window, the process is taking way too long and after aborting I get an WAV file.
What other tool would you guys recommend, maybe tsremux, although there isnt really an option for that and I get almost 100% cpu usage on my old 2 GHz Athlon XP when tsremux is running.?

Cheers

You are getting this error because of the digital copy that comes with the BD, it is most likey AAC audio that is giving the error.

[SeeMoreDigital]

it is most likey AAC audio that is giving the error.How can that be? AAC audio is not a Blu-ray specified audio format!

What do you want to do with the demuxed LPCM file?

[odin24]

I have yet to use the digital copy that comes with most BDs nowadays (no use for them), I'm only speculating that the problem is there and that is the audio format used. Does anybody know what audio format is packed with the digital copy?

Let me rephrase: Is the digital copy on the actual BD or is it downloaded from another source with a code or something like that?

[ibius]

@hdpete: I wanna mux it back in, this specific BD release has many audio tracks, I just wanna keep the LPCM audio.
There is a tool called Pcm2Tsmu, its a little utility to convert lpcm files to a format accepted by TsMuxer (lpcm data in blocks with little headers).

[saunupe1911]

Guys I need some help. Subtitles aren't showing up in my M2TS files while playing them back on a PS3. I always leave the subtitle check boxes checked whenever I convert an MKV, but the it seems the PS3 is not recognizing them when I hit the subtitle button or tab. What am I doing wrong?

You can use eac3to to extract the LPCM audio, see eac3to:How to use (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Eac3to/How_to_Use)

After know the 'title' (2 for instance), the 'track' (5 for instance), 'bitdepth' (16), 'channels' (8) and 'samplerate' (96000), the final sintax can be like:

eac3to "your_folder_source" 2) 5: stdout.pcm | Pcm2Tsmu - output.pcm -i 16 -c 8 -s 96000

Yep bluray structure (AVCHD) The resolution of the movie must be 1920*1080 or 1280*720. If the resolution is not correct, you will get a greenbar on the screen

I've come across something strange, and i want to ask if somebody knows what's up ...

I've made a reencode/backup of a BD, and for expirimental reasons i've tried to remux the original DTS-MA. According to duppies expiriments it should work, but i get some strange results.

I add my H264 file, and set framerate. After this i add the DTS-MA track, and set language. I alsso set the "split" -option to 4,35 GiB, and up to this moment averything works fine. Then i start muxing, first to M2TS because i need those 2 files to end up with 2 "BD5's. And that works fine too.

But now the strange thing: When i cancel the operation, and for example end up with a 2 GB M2TS and make that into a BD5, the resulting BD5 plays fine after burning. But when I let the whole operation finish and make the complete 4,35 GiB BD5 & burn that, my player says "unsupported".

So "partially finished" files work, really finished product doesnt :confused: And that only with DTS-MA files, all other audio-streams work ....

I've come up with the idea that it might be that somehow only smaller M2TS-files with DTS-MA will work. So this evening i'll try and see if a BD5 with 2 * 2,175 GiB M2TS-files will work (hopefully the split-option on tsMuxeR works correctly on blu-ray; I've seen that it splits, and creates different M2TS in the STREAM-directory, but I havent tested it yet to see if it makes a working playlist).

Any ideas / suggestions, or is it a error in the players firmware ?

[jofarmer]

Please forgive me, but I do not have the time to go to the over 100 pages of this thread. Searching it did not bring up an answer to my question:

Is there a Linux how-to anywhere? I tried creating the meta file by myself, but now that I think I did everything right I just get a "VBV buffer overflow at position xxxx.xx" error at a rate of several hundred errors/sek.

The resulting file (a mux of several .sup and .ac3 and one .264) has roughly the right size but will not play back in vlc...

It might be a 64bit adressing thing, though theoretically this should not happen with a Transport Stream. I know the PS3 has that with MP4, it can't play MP4s beyond 4GB (though it does work with AVI, m2ts and probably VOB, too)...

[kaid]

Anyone ever got tsmuxers BD mux option to work with 1080i?
I tried it with 3 different 1080is, all with 50fps (25fps non-interlaced), and I would always get the black screen of death (what's up with that anyway? PS3 needs to be power-cycled to get out of there? wtf?)
1080i@50 should be supported according to the spec!...

720p and 1080p AVCHDs play fine (as long as they don't have 25fps)...

Strange isn't it ? Especially because it only happens with DTS-MA files, on all other BD's i make there is no problem with filesize; Even if it is > 7 or 8 Gb (or much larger).

But i'm gonna investigate further !

Found the solution; Somehow booktype setting of my DVD-RW's was off ... on DVD-RW. Booktype has to be set to DVD-ROM for it to work.

Havent got a clue what happened, might be that IMGBurn is the culprit; Si8nce i've upgraded i've had a few " hangs" after burning a DVD, but what happened/is the problem .. havent got a clue especially because there was no problem on smaller files. But my problem is solved now :)

[n0mag!c]

Anyone ever got tsmuxers BD mux option to work with 1080i?
I've burned 1080@30i MPEG-2 video on BD-R[E] and it plays just fine on PS3. But TsMuxer don't properly (for PS3 (and imho for other stand-alone blu-ray players)) mux interlaced MPEG-2 videos, as I reported in this thread many posts earlier. I successfully muxed it with sonic scenarist.

Translation: Russian » English
How to use myukserom from the command line:



We need to create a file with the extension. Meta. This file lists the files you want to smyuksit in TS.

The first line of meta file can be specified additional parameters that apply to all tracks.

In this case the line should begin with the words MUXOPT.





The following line indicates a list of tracks and their parameters.



The format is as follows:

<Code Name "," title "," More options>

More options list separated by commas. For each parameter indicates the name and value.

Example META file:



V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, D: \ media \ test \ stream.h264, fps = 25

A_AC3, D: \ media \ test \ stream.ac3, timeshift =- 10000ms



In this example, occurs myuksing one way audio format AC3 and one videodorogi format H264.





Additional parameters of audio and video tracks:



fps - to videodorozhek and tracks with sabtitrami can clearly define the importance fps (see example above). If fps is not specified, he nachityvaetsya of flux.





level - allows you to overwrite the field level in the flow of H264. For example, you can change the profile High@5.1 to High@4.1.

Note that only updates the title. H264 flow can not meet the requirements

a lower level.



insertSEI - parameter is used only for the video H.264. When activated, it prosihodit the following: if the original video does not contain

Information SEI picture timing and SEI buffering period, then the info is added to the stream. This option is recommended

for better compatibility with the device Sony Playstation 3.



contSPS - parameter is used only for the video H.264. When you switch the setting, if the original video contains no cyclical repetitive

elements SPS / PPS (with imports from MKV it can be recorded only once at the beginning of the file), the SPS / PPS will be further inserted into a stream

before each key personnel. We recommend that you always include this option.

Note: For x264 flows videopleyer Dune HD can not decode re-SPS component, perhaps this is an error in the current firmware player.



delPulldown - for videodorozhek. Harvesting of the track tag pulldown. Attention! When you switch the setting delPulldown usually require input

new value fps, different values than in the stream. For example, if the flow fps 29.97, after the inclusion delPulldown require

put fps = 23.976.



timeshift - For audio tracks, and tracks with sabtitrami supported setting timeshift, may be more or less than zero.

Value for timeshift set in milliseconds (at the end should be ms) or in seconds (at the end of the letter s). This option

allows audio track in time to move forward (positive value) or backward.



down-to-dts - available only to track DTS-HD. Makes conversion DTS-HD in the standard DTS.

down-to-ac3 - is only available for tracks TRUE-HD c AC3 inside the nucleus (usually written on the Blu-ray discs).



track - starting with version 0.9.96 an opportunity to refer to the track behind other containers. In this case, you must indicate

track number inside the container.

mplsFile - a reference to the MPLS file, which the media file is the current track. This information allows a more accurate

handle joints files in the performance of the operation (append). The option is only available for tracks that are

inside M2TS files. As a value indicates the number MPLS file. For example: mplsFile = 00048. The file is searched on

Media file folders in subdirectories. / .. / PLAYLIST and. / .. / BACKUP / PLAYLIST.

When you combine a large number of files with Blu-ray Disc (10 and over), recommended that

option. If you do not enable this option and the Blu-ray disc used playlist with connection_condition = 5, at every junction of

will accumulate desync audio / video sabtitrov about 17ms (from 0 to the length of the audio frame the current track).

This option is automatically filled in the GUI when you open a file MPLS.



Settings for text sabtitrov SRT:

video-width - the width of the video in pixels

video-height - the height of the video in pixels

fps - fps video

bottom-offset - depart from the lower edge while displaying text.

font-name - the name of the font used in quotes

font-color - font color, for example, 0x00FFFFFF. Color can be introduced in hexadecimal or decimal form.

font-size - the font size

font-italic - displaying text, with an inclination

font-bold - bold display text

font-underline - underlined text

font-strikeout - crossed the text



In sabtitrah SRT also supported by the following text tags, the syntax and parameters which coincide with HTML:

<b>, <i>, <u>, <strike>, <font>. The font size default 3 (size of font-size dpi).

For example:

<b> <font size=5 color="deepskyblue" name="Arial"> <u> Test </ u> <font size= 4 color="#806040"> colored </ font> text </ font> < / b>





Supported containers:

- TS/M2TS/MTS

- EVO / VOB / MPG

- MKV

- MPLS (Blu-ray media play list file)



For a track number, run: tsMuxer <container file name>.



To start myuksera need to open the windows terminal, far or other file manager and type:

tsMuxer <meta name of the file> <TS file name>



Names of codecs in the meta file:

V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC - H264

V_MS/VFW/WVC1 - VC1

V_MPEG-2 - MPEG2



A_AC3 - DD (AC3) / DD (E-AC3) / True HD (True HD only tracks with AC3 core inside).

A_AAC - AAC

A_DTS - DTS / DTS-HD

A_MP3 - MPEG audio layer 1/2/3

A_LPCM - raw pcm data or PCM WAVE file



S_HDMV / PGS - sabtitry format Presentation Graphic Stream.

S_TEXT/UTF8 - sabtitry format SRT. The text file should be in unicode. Any formats: UTF-8, UTF-16 (little-endoan,

big-endian), UTF-32 (little-endian, big-endian).





More options myuksera in line MUXOPT.



The parameters of this group vliyat the entire flow as a whole, rather than on a separate track. Options are listed through the gap.





- pcr-on-video-pid - did not provide a separate PID for PCR, and use an existing video PID.

- new-audio-pes - use bytes 0xfd instead 0xbd to track AC3, True-HD, DTS and DTS-HD. This is in line with standard Blu-ray.

-vbr - to use variable bitrate

- minbitrate = xxxx - sets the lower limit vbr bitrate. If the stream is a smaller number of bytes will be inserted NULL packets

for avoiding flow to the correct lane.

- maxbitrate = xxxx - the upper limit vbr bitrate.

- cbr - myuksinga regime with a fixed bitrate. Options - vbr and - cbr should not be used together.

- vbv-len - the length of the virtual buffer in milliseconds. The default value is 500. Typically, this option is used in conjunction with - cbr.

The parameter is similar to the value of vbv-buffer-size coder in the x264, but is set not in kilobitah, and in milliseconds (with constant bitrate

they can be counted at each other). If you are self-encoded file in the x264 in constant bitrate, for more

smooth broadcasting file in the network are encouraged to make the same (or less) this setting than in the x264. When the virtual overflow

buffer in the log will withdraw the relevant error.

- bitrate = xxxx - bitrate for the regime myuksinga fixed bitrate.

Values - maxbitrate, - minbitrate and - bitrate indicated in kilobitah per second. You can not use the serial number separator

between the whole and fractional part of a character point. For example: - maxbitrate = 19423.432

- no-asyncio - not to create a separate thread to record output files. The inclusion of this regime is also repeals the flag FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING.

This somewhat reduces the speed record, but allows you to see the amount of output file as you work.

- auto-chapters = nn - insert a chapter every nn minutes. Only in the blu-ray muxing.

- custom-chapters = <line parameters> - insert a chapter in the field. Only in the blu-ray muxing.

A string of parameters is as follows: hh: mm: ss; hh: mm: ss, etc. A semicolon listed timestamps, which

does a linux version supporting srt exist yet?

[Deckard2019]

I need to delete end credits from a movie to make it fit into a BD-R 25.
But there's a small scene at the end : MOVIE -> CREDITS -> SCENE.
What would be the best way to do this ?
Thank you.

[turbojet]

I haven't tried but maybe cut out movie with the streams you want, output to m2ts, cut credits with the same streams you want, output to m2ts, load movie m2ts and append credits m2ts.
I've appeneded multiple files before and all was ok except for subtitles in the parts after the first file didn't work.

[Butterfly666]

I have a complete bdmv and certificate of a movie with menu. It plays fine on pc but I want to play this with menu on a extern hd on the
ps3.
So first I make a new AVCHD with TSmuxer to split the m2ts and rename the stream with AVCHD-me. Then I copy all the files CLIPINFO, BDJO, BACKUP etc of the orginal movie to the maps that Tsmuxer made. I renamed CLIPINFO, BDJO, BACKUP also with avchd me but when playing I get no video.
Has anyone done this before to play AVCHD with menu?
Please help me out!

Has anyone allready tested the TrueHD capabillities ? The earliers version didn't work correctly.

Sorry to say that i have no current samples to test.

However i have allready made a DB9 with DTS-MA, and can confirm it works (it plays like it should on my Pana bd30 at least). But i had to tweak some settings to get it right, so I'll have to do some more testing to be shure on the "how to".

The first question was the same for me and i gave it a go.
You still need a second pass with TSremux to get a working TrueHD BD.

First off, great program! Has saved me a lot of bother.

Having a bit of trouble though. I get this error on some of the mkv files I've tried converting:

Matroska parse error: Read error at pos: 57546323

This mkv is h264 with AC3 audio. Is there any way I can scan the mkv to check if it has any errors and fix them? Or is this a problem with tsMuxeR?

This will most certainly not work. I do not know this program AVCHD me and what it does, but if you only replace .m2ts files it will not work, because .clpi files in CLIPINFO and .mpls files in PLAYLIST need to match the specs and length of the m2ts files exactly in order for the AVCHD to play, so you cannot use them with the m2ts' tsmuxer split.

Also, even if you get it to play, you will most likely get problems with the bitrate, since AVCHD only allows up to 16MBit streams, and BDs are usually a higher bitrate...

Try my script (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141173) if you want an AVCHD with menu, though in your case it's probably not the kind of menu you're after... ;-)

P.S: New version out. Hooray! Only Windows again - boo! Linux version still b0rked in BD muxing...

Yeah, just use a hexeditor that can edit files of any size and go to the offset given (57546323 = 0x36E1653)..
I've found nice fat holes of zeroes right in the middle of some mkvs that both players and demuxers just quit upon reaching, beats me how these got there!

If yours is like this and the index is fine (=you can skip through it alright): don't delete those zeroes, or it will mess up your index! copypaste something over them from the rest of the mkv so that the byte length of the file remains unchanged. This will result in a few bad frames, but at least players and demuxers should be able to demux the whole stream!...

[SwissyJim]

dumb question...

in a blu ray with multiple m2tsfiles as opposed to one (forgetting Sarah Marshall) to strip out all the BS and have just the movie/soundtrack, how do you do this? Append each file into the list? there's over 100! I tried just one file and it only did that one file... how do you select ALL files?

What you want to do is find out, which parts and in which order make up the movie (Usually 1-5, but never 100 - thats loads of spicials, making-ofs and the like), then take the first one and append the others in the correct order..

[yonta]

Use BDInfo (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/BDInfo) or eac3to (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/eac3to)(just type 'eac3to' in the folder) to find out which playlist is the main movie.
And, load the playlist(.mpls) in tsMuxeR.

[SwissyJim]

thanks... BDinfo did it for me. found the playlist by time length, opened that list in TSmuxerGUI and it added all needed files (ver 1.8.8)

Use MKVtools to chop off the first second of the MKV file then try it again in tsMuxer, it should work.

[prophetizer]

this program works fantastic for remuxxing and streaming files on ps3 as i'm sure has been posted on this thread several times. for the first time i encountered something strange, it remuxxed the MKV no prob, plays on my PC no prob, only plays about 60seconds of the 40 minute file on my ps3 when i stream, any ideas?

hi all, the documentation of this application for linux is a little bit poor :(
I read the google translation and attempted to do my best.

Hi,

posted it already as a seperate topic but no answers.

I used RipBot264 to reencode my HDDVDs. But unfortunately it only supports 1 audiostream.

So I added a second ac3 stream (encoded it with eac3to) but neither PowerDVD nor my PS3 will recognise the second stream. But VLC will recognise and play it. I used the tsmuxer to add the stream.

did I do s.th. wrong? Maybe someone can help me.

Did you select "subtitle on-off" on your PS3?

[G_M_C]

I've got the same idea;

Whem muxing thru tsMuxeR, you'll allways have to manually select the subtitles to display. Is it not possibe to mux it in a way that the first subtitle is allways swiched "ON" automatically, rather than having to switch it on myself ?

[prophetizer]

i notice sometimes when u remux an MKV to stream on PS3, that when it only plays like the first 30-60 seconds the PS3 is reporting that the video size is really small in comparison to what it really is on the PC. for instance, an MKV i remuxxed the other day, was 1.2GB on the PC, played fine on PC, but ps3 says it's only 11MB

[odin24]

Does tsMuxeR support chapter names (text and numerical values)?

EDIT: Nevermind, this doesn't work for the PS3.

[kaid]

Please, please, please, roman, listen to our pleads: The BD muxing in Linux DOES NOT WORK! It quits with "Can't create file /muxdir/BDMV/Stream/000001.m2ts" Since STREAM is in caps, it's obvious case sensitivity is the reason it won't work. It's just a simple change of strings, please fix it! I need this to work because I am planning to write a tutorial how to do make your own AVCHDs in Linux! ;-)

Edit: I was now able to work around the bug by creating the /Stream directory manually (see this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141803)), but output seems b0rked, the PS3 tells me "illegal disc format" when I try to play it... So it seems to be more than just case-sensitivity!

You can't. Subtitles aren't supported in the XMB (let's just feel lucky we have AC3, and that's only due to the cameras actually recording in AC3! ;-). For subtitles you need to mux to BD/AVCHD (which also supports DTS and multiple audio, hello malgates!) which is played either from a FAT32 device or optical disc, and for this to work the video-size and FPS need to be within certain limits. e.g. video needs to be exactly 1280x720 or 1920x1080, and 25fps isn't supported...
So if your stuff is cropped, you're shit outta luck!

[kaid]

I'll just assume you're talking about AVCHD now! ;-)
Yes, this should be possible (with AVCHD!).. once we find out more about the clipinf and mpls files! ;-) I have the tsremux source here, let's see what I can gather from that...

encoding? since when does tsmuxer have an avc encoder built in? Are you sure you're not talking about mkv2vob?
anyhow, split-size works for me, although i never tried this in the Linux-version... which has b0rked BD/AVCHD muxing anyway!

My 2 cents: don't bother with splitting for FAT32, it's just ugly. Keep it in one file and stream it via uPnP/DLNA! If you get a bigger internal HD for your PS3 you can also copy them over like this, just press Triangle in your uPnP-server! ;-)

It's about time Sony added NTFS support.. My guess is that the large majority of external drives meanwhile are NTFS formatted.. Oh, and ext3 and hfs would be cool, too! ;-D

Has noone had this problem before?

[ixy]

Hi,

I try tsMuxeR to change my BluRays and put to them new subtitles. tsMuxeR do it great but...

when I put remuxed file back to BluRay structure and try make BD-RE backup everything is good (UDF 2.5) and I have two results:

1. Files whithout menus are playing great both on PowerDVD and PS3 (with new subtitles).

2. File with menus are playing great with PowerDVD (with new subtitles) but on PS3 I play all menus and untouched files but edited one has "black screen" result (I only can return to top menu).

Any ideas???

[kaid]

I did answer your question above, please read more carefully! XMB = only one audiotrack

[kaid]

Hi,

2. File with menus are playing great with PowerDVD (with new subtitles) but on PS3 I play all menus and untouched files but edited one has "black screen" result (I only can return to top menu).

Any ideas???

Most likely you have encoded the menu with 25fps and you have a monitor which does not support that (like mine!)...

I have yet to figure out if this is true for any HDCP monitor or just mine, but I get a black screen in AVCHDs with anything that has 25 or 50 fps!
Works fine on my friend's beamer though, but he uses component output, so maybe that's why...

All these questions have been asked countless times before... The problem is that all the information about PS3 and H.264 replay is out there, it's just scattered all over the net! Someone needs to write a coherent FAQ and make a sticky. I would volunteer to do this if people think that's a good idea...

[Deckard2019]

Is there a way to set a default subtitle track to be displayed in the final created BluRay ?
With PS3 I must activate subtitle track manually each time. Thank you.

[shon3i]

I'm very impressed with the speed of tsMuxer when joining .mt2ts files. It takes 2 hrs 40 secs using Nero 8 to combine 30 files totaling 20 minutes of footage, while tsMuxer did this in 1 min 30 sec. Unfortunately it has a fatal flaw that will prevent me from using it. The audio and video become increasingly out of sync the longer the video runs. I tried using several versions of the tool including 1.8.8b with the same result. I also tried joining several different files with the same result. The .m2ts files are taken from a Canon Vixia HF100. Any ideas as to when this bug will get fixed?

Try using eac3to to demux the raw video and audio streams from the original m2ts files and then mux everything back to m2ts with tsMuxeR. That should probably get rid of the audio desync problems.

Hello, I have some problems with TSMuxer 1.8.4:

I have several BDs here and want to backup them using AnyDVD HD and TSMuxer.
I ripped them all to my hard drive, which worked well. Then I loaded the movie playlist from the first BD into TSMuxer and unchecked all unwanted language audio streams. Then I remuxed it back to *.m2ts. Everything worked well.

But when I make an ISO out of that it won't work. I think it's because I deleted languages which were linked in the menu, which seems to be a problem.

Am I doing something wrong here ? Has someone of you guys ripped a Blu-Ray with menu and extras and deleted some languages and it worked well ?

Seeing how TsMuxer totally does not accept any full BD structure I kinda wonder how you even went about doing that?
You do know that .m2ts just like that can't be burned as BD or AVCHD? And that simply replacing them in the original structure will never work? Neither will BD muxing and then also replacing .mpls and .clpi files, btw!..

I don't think he did that.

It sounds like he has done what I hav done. Rip the whole BD to the HD then loaded a playlist into TSmuxer and stripped unwanted audio/subs to a new m2ts file. The result is a single m2ts file or a complete new BD file structure with just that single m2ts file.

This is exactly what I did. But it isn't possible to keep the menu and the extras. It's only possible to build a whole new BD structure with only the m2ts file. Only editing the main movie m2ts in my existing BD structure won't bring success :(

[binky]

Try using eac3to to demux the raw video and audio streams from the original m2ts files and then mux everything back to m2ts with tsMuxeR. That should probably get rid of the audio desync problems.

Can you give the command line to use for this? It isn't clear what I need to do by reading the documentation for eac3to. Do I need any other software? I'm also curious as to why I need to do this. Shouldn't tsMuxer be able join files without problems?

If I use eac3to to extract an .h264 file and an ac3 file, would it work the same as extracting to an mkv, as far as fixing the gaps and overlaps?

[lennyd19]

Hello Ihave been encodeing all my dvd's to hdd for sometime and had no probloms. I just steped into to the world of blu ray. I am useingg the tsmuxer to put on my hdd and use in my tvix. I have tried four times to mux the files tried 2 different movies and each time About half way through it says there is no disk in the drive. I know it is something i am over looking. So A little help and guidence would be apperciated. Thanks!

[madshi]

Can you give the command line to use for this? It isn't clear what I need to do by reading the documentation for eac3to. Do I need any other software? I'm also curious as to why I need to do this. Shouldn't tsMuxer be able join files without problems?
There are different ways to use eac3to. If you have a full Blu-Ray disc you can use "eac3to BluRayDiscPath" to get a list of tracks. Then you can demux all tracks of a specific title you're interested in, e.g. "eac3to BluRayDiscPath 1) -demux".

tsMuxeR can join files just fine, and from what I've heard they play fine, too. However, multiple joined m2ts files are a bit problematic because the audio overlaps. If the media player is clever enough, it can work around the issue. In your case that doesn't seem to be the case. eac3to removes the audio overlaps so that you don't depend on the media player working correctly...

If I use eac3to to extract an .h264 file and an ac3 file, would it work the same as extracting to an mkv, as far as fixing the gaps and overlaps?
Yes, for audio. No, for video. But overlaps are normally only in the audio tracks with Blu-Ray discs. So no problem...

Is there any word on when the TrueHD bug will be fixed? It seems like it should be pretty high priority, but I don't see it mentioned anywhere and it wasn't addressed in the latest beta.

Anyone know why TSmuxer detect my stream as 1920:1084p after I have reencoded it ??? Anyway to correct this ??

If I load the *.264 file in MediaInfo, DGAVCIndex or any other program it says the resolution is 1920:1080p. I have even tried burn it on a DVD-RW and whats it on my PS3 and it detect it fine as 1080p/24 fps.

The only problem I have seen is that powerdvd dont show my subtitles, but they works fine on my PS3... It all started after I changed my x264 script which is like this (today), but I cant see any reason why that should have anything to do with it, because it still says 1920x1080 when encoding..


1Pass:
"d:\x264.exe" "%IN_TITLE%.AVS" --bitrate %IN_BITRATE% --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --vbv-bufsize 14745 --vbv-maxrate 17500 --filter 0,0 --bframes 3 --direct auto --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --subme 2 --analyse none --me dia --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --stats "stats1.log" --pass 1 --output NUL

2 Pass:
"d:\x264.exe" "%IN_TITLE%.AVS" --bitrate %IN_BITRATE% --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --vbv-bufsize 14745 --vbv-maxrate 17500 --filter 0,0 --ref 3 --bframes 3 --direct auto --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --subme 7 --mixed-refs --weightb --trellis 1 --psy-rd 0.8:0.8 --aq-strength 0.8 --me umh --merange 24 --scenecut 32 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --mvrange 511 --aud --nal-hrd --no-psnr --no-ssim --stats "stats1.log" --pass 2 --output "%IN_TITLE%.264"

I suspect the reason why the subtitles isnt working in powerdvd is because tsmuxer mux them as 1920:1084p.

Anyone tried this because and know why ?

Don't worry, you're not doing anything wrong, TsMuxer/Linux is b0rked for BD/AVCHD muxing! This first error ist just due to case-sensitivity, but even if you work around it it still won't work. More about it here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141803), and for a solution (not using TsMuxer) see here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141855).

But if you're only trying to split a file, you don't need the --blu-ray muxoption anyway, why not leave it out and mux plain old .m2ts (just add .m2ts to "outs" in your case!)?

[hdpete]

I agree, it would be my highest priority at the moment. TsMuxer is a great program, not being able to handle TrueHD muxing is it's only downfall as far as I'm concerned.

Hmmm.. I gotta admit the only time I ever split anything with tsmuxer was for my menugenerator script (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141173)... I don't do FAT32, i keep the fullsized file and copy it over to the PS3 (via DLNA/uPNP, but download from a local HTTP- or FTP-server also works!), which had a 320GB fitted..

You sure there's enough space on the drive? Try leaving out the --split-chapter and --auto-chapter options, you don't need these for .m2ts since chapters aren't supported in .m2ts (hooray for scene selection in the new PS3 firmware btw! ;-), maybe that fixes it!

Could just be another bug in the Linux-version, dunno.. As a workaround, you could always mux a single .m2ts and then do the splitting with tsremux by (ab)using the crop feature! But that's rather painful to do I guess, setting the splits manually...

[jtheripper]

I agree, it would be my highest priority at the moment. TsMuxer is a great program, not being able to handle TrueHD muxing is it's only downfall as far as I'm concerned.

I also agree. I hope he fixes the truHD bug soon as many new blurays are coming with that and tsremux cant mux multiple streams. Also the price of BD-R are coming down so it is becoming feasible to use those instead of dvd+r dl

[ACrowley]

Ive a Problem.

I have a lot of Remuxes in MKV from HDDVD VC1. The Pulldown from VC1 was removed with eac3to.
But TSmuxer tells me VC1 29.97fps with Pulldown ?

When i try to remux these MKVs to m2ts with TSmuxer i get these Errors:
1. With Remove Pulldown Option :

Same Result when i set the Video manually to 23.976fps

My Target is to remux the VC1 into a compliant m2ts Stream...


EDIT:
I ask Madshi about this Problem. He Told me that earlier eac3to Version wasnt able to fully remove the Pulldown Flags. Theres where still Rests from the Flag. And Tsmuxer cant remux these VC1 Streams.
Removing Pulldown with latest eac3to results in a 100% 23.976 10890p VC1 File. Tsmuxer detects it as 1080p 23.976

EDIT2:
I found a Way to fix/completly remove the remaining Pulldown Flags out of these bad VC1 Streams

1 Demux VC1 from mkv via Graphedit
-Filesource(async) - ArcsoftMKvSplitter - Dump

2. Remove pulldown with latest eac3to

3. Remux to whatever

[kurt]

@ acrowly:

maybe try to etract the vc1 with mkvextract and load the elementary stream in tsmuxer...

I never had this issues in tsmuxer, but I never mux to mkv in eac3to before (while removing pulldown) as you did. I usually just extract the video with eac3to....

I agree; vc1mkvs are always problematic.

Extract vc1 [you can also use GraphStudio for extracting vc1:
Haali splitter > Dump (*.vc1) ]

What i'd suggest remux it into a TS container with TSMuxer.(don't remove pulldown)
Then extract vc1 again with eac3to (newest version); this will remove pulldown.

[Butterfly666]

2/3sec. of the movie is gone when I use the split option.
Is there a fix for the split option when muxing to bluray?

Hi,

Just a couple quick questions (no offense meant with any of these, just playing it safe!). Thanks!

1. Are all the versions of txMuxeR 100% spyware (or anything "bad") free? Does the program conflict with anything else?

2. If version 1.8.8 beta is the newest version, why is 1.8.4 listed on the official website as the newest version here?
http://www.smlabs.net/tsmuxer_en.html

SmartLabs tsMuxeR is a freeware.

* SmartLabs tsMuxeR for Windows - download (Links to: http://www.smlabs.net/tsMuxer/tsMuxeR_1.8.4(b).zip)
* SmartLabs tsMuxeR for Linux (console only) - download
* Release notes - view

3. Which version is better/safer to use?

4. Why is the newest version getting flagged as a virus, as stated on this thread?

5. Is this the best program to allow .mkv files to play on the PS3?

6. Does the program "call home" or try to connect to the internet for any reason?

Thanks for the help! And sorry again for the goofy questions, but I always play it safe before installing new software. This looks great though for PS3 stuff!

3. Which version is better/safer to use?No issues with either, I've been using 1.8.8 since it's release, I use it almost everyday.

4. Why is the newest version getting flagged as a virus, as stated on this thread? Maybe it is the virus software that particular person is using. I can assure you it was a false positive, no issues on my PC.

5. Is this the best program to allow .mkv files to play on the PS3? In my opinion, yes. Unless the file is not compatible at all, which is not uncommon... if so your file would need recoding.

6. Does the program "call home" or try to connect to the internet for any reason? No. Just to be safe you could block it from accessing the internet through Window firewall.

See my comments above.

[kaid]

Antivirus software sometimes acts incredibly stupid and offensive in giving totally false alarms. E.g. there's a packer program (it's like ZIP, only much smaller and for executables!) called "kkrunchy" that has been made by guys making 64k Intros (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64k_intro), because they need every byte they can save. Now, since coders of malware also use this packing program (and possibly Tsmuxer, too?) because they too try to keep their stuff as small as possible, stupidass virus software screams "malware!!!" for every program that uses it, even the 64k Intros it was originally made for! That's exactly as stupid as saying ZIP is malware, because Virii *can* come in a ZIP!

Wikipedia even has some information (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable_compression) on this issue:

Also, some older virus scanners simply report all compressed executables as viruses because the decompressor stubs share some characteristics with those. Most modern virus scanners can unpack several different executable compression layers to check the actual executable inside, but some popular anti-virus and anti-malware scanners have had troubles with false alarms on compressed executables.

More specifically, for hidef tv shows in .mkv format, converting them with tsMuxeR will provide a better picture quality that using mkv2vob, is that correct? (Better was probably too generic a term to use when I asked... :) )

Do you know what the changes were from tsMuxeR 1.8.4 to 1.8.8?

It is safe to assume that tsMuxeR will yield better results over using mkv2vob because tsMuxeR just muxes, no trascoding... whereas I believe mkv2vob does just that, trascodes to vob.

As for changes in versions I am not sure.

AFAIK mkv2vob also does remuxing wherever possible, it only does transcoding if the target is incompatible with the source.Didn't mkv2vob actually include TsMuxer (or was it TsRemux?)?

Is there any reason why a surcode created DTS file doesn't get detected in TSMuxer?

[jj666]

What source are you encoding the DTS from? I don't have problems with Surcode here (usually used via EAC3TO).

6. Does the program "call home" or try to connect to the internet for any reason?

Only if you are remuxing illegal stuff with it ;-)

Tongue firmly in cheek of course.

You need to remove zero padding first. Just run it through eac3to again, just change the name.

eac3to audio.dts fixed_audio.dts

That worked thank you.

Hi to all and excuse my poor english.
I've a question about tsmuxer:
I'm using it to remux a mkv (video h264 high profile@5.1 and ac3 audio) to ts or m2ts and i've noticed something strange.
In my player (it's an HDD box player) the time starts from 9'30" to 10'00" but the movie is shown from the beginning.
I don't know what's the problem, this occours either muxing to ts, m2ts or blu ray; with or without insert sps/time.
Can't FF or FR.
The movie plays fine.

Using tsremux on the same original mkv the problem doesn't exists, and i still can FF or FR.
The movie plays fine.

version used 1.8.4 and 1.8.8


thanks

Edit:
Just to clarify:
mkv movie are samples, i'm testing my fullHD TV, and the hdd box player.
The player has Sigma Designs EM8623L chipset, it decode directly not streaming.

[jj666]

You shouldn't use 5.1 profile in any Sigma chipset player as these are only certified to level 4.1 H264, you get all sorts of issues otherwise. I'm assuming this is some re-encoded stuff you've downloaded - I've never known such a profile be used elsewhere. If you encoded this yourself, don't use such a profile next time, if you downloaded it, firstly it shouldn't be discussed here and secondly you can never be sure how flawed the encode is.

-jj-

[frenchglen]

Is 88200 and 44200 sample rate LPCM input going to be supported some time?
This program is fantastic.

-jj-

5.1 works everytime, 4.1 sometimes doesn't works (i can't see the video track), i don't know why (used h264info/tsmuxer to change level).

Edit again:
After searching more info:
I think MPEG-4.2 ASP@L5 means that the chipset support 5 high level?

I'm newbie with this codec.
I'm not talking about level/profile in this post, i'm wondering why using tsmuxer the timer starts from 9'30" (the movie starts from beginnin) and why not using tsremux.

I wrote about level/profile/chipset just to explain what i'm using.

[jj666]

In my experience with both Tvix 5100 (Sigma 8623) and IstarHD (Sigma 8635), 4.1 level will work fine, 5.1 level will usually not work. If the file has been encoded with 5.1 and a large amount of reference frames, changing to 4.1 level will not help, the best you will get is a pixelated image (you can use MEDIAINFO or similar to check such encode/codec information).

I have no issues with H264 and TSMUXER from either TV captures (via Dreambox), or Blu-ray disks (via Anydvd HD). There are some differences between the available muxers (for instance TSMUXER won't remux TrueHD properly). Once you start to re-encode things, you also introduce other compatibility issues which is what you are seeing, combined with amateur/idiocy encoding at 5.1 level.

As mentioned, if you're not encoding the stuff yourself, you have to live with poorer quality and things not working as expected.

-jj-

[LonelyWolf]

Please don't talk about quality, it's not the matter now.

What I'm talking about isn't encoding, just muxing with tsmuxer and tsremux.

Difference playing the clip muxed with tsmuxer starts at 9.30 muxed with tsremux starts at 0.0, both clips are shown from the beginning.

That's independend from how is encoded the video stream.

[frank]

That's independend from how is encoded the video stream. Oh no, you have a lot to learn.
Blu-rays and others are certified for level 4.1!! No BD or HD disks are encoded with 5.1. When you feed a real (not patched) 5.1 level encoded stream to a SA player then you get problems.
And you cannot simply change the level by patching the stream. You have to reencode. tsMuxeR has problems with 5.1 streams because nobody has really tested. And 5.1 is not necessary.
jj666 has fully right.

[cwm9]

I keep seeing references to how "true-hd doesn't work with tsMuxer," but I don't seem to have any problem with it. When I rip just the video and only the True-HD track as a as a blue ray disk, convert to a .iso, mount it with DaemonTools, and play it in PowerDVD, it works just fine. PowerDVD even says it is playing a "Audio: Dolby TrueHD 5.1 xxxxKbps" stream. 1500KBps is about typical.

Is PowerDVD lying? Is it only playing the AC3 core? Has the true-hd problem been fixed, or is it only a problem with certain discs or... ?

The issue is TrueHD playback on a PS3 or standalone (after tsMuxeR).

[LonelyWolf]

Ok, tsmuxer can't mux correctly h264 stream with 5.1 level, tsremux doesn't.

tsmuxer adds from 9'.30" to 10' to the clip "time".

So the clip's duration depend on how it's muxed?

:confused:

Oh no, you have a lot to learn.
It's true and i know! :D

But if the problem is the video track 5.1 on my standalone, why muxing with tsremux goes fine and with tsmuxer doesn't? The track is the same in both mux cases.
:confused:

[jj666]

If you are playing back on a standalone player, the best thing to do is confine any 5.1 encoded files to processing from the recycle bin. Having to re-encode an already re-encoded HD file totally defeats the idea of HD feeds being better quality. You can check the number of reference frames with MEDIAINFO, if it is 4 or below for 1080p, or 8 or below for 720p, it may be possible to change the level to 4.1 with H264INFO.

I can tell you with 100% confidence that TSMUXER does not have issues with H264 per se based on my own personal remuxing of hundred of personal files. I can also tell you I've never seen such an issue with timing with either the small number of re-encodes I do, or with remuxes direct from original source.

Ask your torrent site or whatever to post the codec information before downloading in future and avoid 5.1 encodes like the plague ;-) It's not possible to make a bug report about something you didn't encode yourself as it's not reproducable easily.

-jj-

[Bosko]

The issue is TrueHD playback on a PS3 or standalone (after tsMuxeR).

So if you have an .mkv file of a tv show that's "HD" and you use this program to make it so it can be played on a PS3, it won't be in HD? So will it just be the same as the regular .avi file version of the same show?

Thanks!

I was refering to Dolby TrueHD (on Blu-rays), you'll still get the "HD" if you use this to convert TV show mkv's.

First off, I think tsMuxeR is a fantastic programme! I use it all the time. :) Lately though I learnt that an age-old issue, which I heretofore attributed to something else, may in fact be caused by tsMuxer, after all. Namely, when streaming an (H264/AVC) .m2ts file (made with tsMuxeR) to my PS3, I can't properly use the 'goto' function. When I say, for instance, "Go to time-index 01:25:54," then, 9 out of 10 times, the request is either simply ignored, or the movie just pauses indefinately.

Now, I recently heard that VOB files, created by mkv2vob, do not have this problem! So, that begs the question: what is causing tsMuxeR to not get it right? Or, more importantly, what, if anything, can be done to fix this? I reckon if mkv2vob can manage, tsMuxeR should be able to do so as well, right?

I think the problem may be the PS3 not tsmuxer. The goto function on my Popcorn works fine with H264 m2ts files created by tsmuxer.

The odd thing is, sometimes it does it work, and it jumps directly to the requested index. Could this be key-frame related somehow? I just don't get why sometimes I get a hit, and often a miss.

[ultratoto14]

Is your problem occurring during streaming or even if the file is on the PS3 hard drive ?

Just streaming.

It seems to be a problem of Tversity i guess. Someone tell us some time ago a tip : when remuxing mkv or m2ts to ts/m2ts with tsMuxer, check the fps change box on h264 stream and put the real fps of the stream. This forces tsMuxer to write fps in each place it must be and this can help with ffw/rewind during streaming. Test it and let me now.

I'm using Twonky, but I'm guessing the same principle applies as with Tversity. I'll try it out and let you know. Thanks!

Dear tsMuxeR experts,

I am very happy having found tsMuxeR.
Congratulations to its author for this excellent and very promising development!

It is higly efficient and easy to use. As first exercise being a tsMuxeR beginner, I managed to process a 16.804.145KB, 02:35:32 (hh:mm:ss) DVB-S2 (H264 stream, Profile: High@4.0, Resolution: 1920:1080i, Frame rate: 25) HDTV show from Astra HD channel to an AVCHD structure with 79 chapters which is playing well on PS3 (from USB disc after AVCHD_ME m2ts to MTS rename, and after burning the original tsMuxer output to AVCHD DVD and BE/BD disc) in amazing 09 min 12 sec muxing time !!! Practically in the time it takes to copy the 16.8 GB from USB-disc to internal harddisc! Unbeatable performance! :)

With my second exercise, to let tsMuxeR split the show into two parts (Part 1 and Part 2) at the intermission pause, I entered more difficult ground:
The splitting worked ok, but both parts were too big to fit on a DVD-DL each. So, I had to shorten each part.

Part 2 was easily done, merly trimming off the end credits by >Enable cutting, Start=938960 ms, End=5056 s.

Part 1 was not so easy. I wanted to keep the beginning (Part 1A) and cut out a chunck from within, keeping the rest (Part 1B). To do it was also no problem. But...

Issue 1: Audio sync after split
***********************
The problem began with >add Part 1A and >append Part 1B. tsMuxeR does the append job in lightning speed. But the audio of Part 1B is out of sync! I guess this happens because the cut was not at an IDR-frame.

Would an option in tsMuxeR "snap to nearest IDR-frame /P-frame" help, which could apply to chapter selection and splitting (cut-in, cut-out point selection) ? I think IfoEdit (my other favorite program for DVD generation) does it that way, I think.

Issue 2: Too many chapters
**********************
Again with Part 1, I found another issue. I left the Chapter input list as it was for the full show. From my experience with IfoEdit I expected tsMuxeR to only take those, in my case 24 (out of 79), chapters that fit after cutting into the resulting output stream for Part 1 and to skip chapters with time values higher than the total length of the Part 1 video clip.

Issue 3: Simple chapter selection menu(s) would be a dream !
**********************************************
3.1 Example for a simple, kind of table-of-contents like menu:
------------------------------------------
Highlights of Summer 2008 (heading)
------------------------------------------
Intro (-> chapter 1) (detail line 1)
Windsurfing at Lake Garda (-> chapter 7) (detail line 2)
Trip to Venice (-> chapter 12) (detail line 3)
...
------------------------------------------
(next menu window after 10 or 12 detail lines, max. 99 detail lines)

Input for the above example could be simple text lines like
<ch#><tab><menu text>
00 Highlights of Summer 2008 ... (heading)
01 Intro ....................... (detail line 1)
07 Windsurfing at Lake Garda
12 Trip to Venice
...
(To pep it up, tsMuxeR could allow to enter a jpg or bmp background image.)

3.2 Alternativly, is there a trick to use a small dummy clip and design a menu with another program (for example: NeroVision, Ulead DVD Movie Factory, Cyberlink PowerProducer, ...) and replace in the AVCHD data structure the .m2ts file of the dummy clip with the .m2ts files from tsMuxe R?
This alternative would enable more sophisticated menus. But I would prefer a simple, table-of-contents like menu.

I am a fairly experienced user of SD DVD authoring with IfoEdit and DVD-lab Pro after preparing the DVB-S captures with ProjectX and Mpeg2Schnitt (includig trimming, cutting and finding good values for chapters), but, as a beginner to the art of tsMuxeR and HD processing, I cannot resolve the above mentioned issues without help from tsMuxeR and HD processing experts.

So please help me with my issues!

Many thanks in advance!

Cela

P.S.
As I write these lines I get another dream:
Mpeg2Schnitt is a wonderful freeware program for trimming, cutting, finding good values for chapters the best ergonomic and userfriendly navigation through the audiovisual preview of mpeg2 SD material, among other things allowing forward/backward stepping to next I-, P- frames, etc. If it was possible to replace the mpeg2 engine by tsMuxeR's h264/avc engine, a modified Mpeg2Schnitt could become a graphic-interactive front-end for tsMuxeR. Now add the menu-engine of DVD-lab.... Perhaps an idea for new cooperations?

I have remuxed Million Dollar Baby 2004 1080p Blu-ray GER AVC DTS-HD HR 7.1 and only keep the Movie and the english DTS-HD 7.1

But it´s NO sound so cant TsMuxeR handle 7.1 sound ??

[jdobbs]

Not sure if this has been discussed (this is a long thread), so I thought I'd bring it up. TSMUXER seems to have a small bug that causes fast-forward, rewind, and seeking issues when creating Blu-ray output.

It appears as though the COARSE/FINE table relationship in the .CLPI file isn't being structured properly. The program correctly creates a new COARSE entry with the PTS rolls over (the LSBs contained in the FINE table get to a point where they will require an increment in the COARSE table). But it appears it doesn't do so (at least not always) when the same thing happens to the COARSE/FINE SPN. As a result, you have combined SPN pointers that suddenly drop to very small values (at least until the next COARSE reference)...

Just thought I'd mention it in case someone is keeping the package up-to-date. If not, I guess I can write a simple program to read/rewrite the CLPI (I'd rather see it fixed in the program, though). I just did one by hand and it fixed the problems -- now rewind/fast-forward works correctly and I no longer get "pauses" when I jump between chapters.

Hey guys, got a question for you.

I'm looking to stream my BD discs to my PS3. I have a LG BR player on the PC I rip with.

Planet Earth is VC-1 which seems to be tricky for the PS3.

Is there anyway I can mux the VC-1 video stream into WMV-HD (I first use AnyDVD to dump the BD disc) ?

Audio doesn't matter much, I only have a 2.0 stereo setup, so I'm happy to transcode the audio to make it work in a WMV-HD container. I don't want to transcode video however.

I know you can create AVCHD discs or something, but I'd rather not have my movies in 4GB chunks.

Thanks :thanks:

Because I assumed I have to use TSMuxer with the uncompressed BR first of all.

My LG drive is coming tomorrow, this will be the first time I've tried ripping a BR disc. Only played them on the PS3 till now.

http://www.blu-raystats.com/ told me Planet Earth is VC-1, and trying to clue myself up online about ripping BR discs told me VC-1 can be an issue for the PS3.

If I'm in the wrong place, sorry, but everyone seems to use TSMuxer for their BR discs after ripping.

...All these questions have been asked countless times before... The problem is that all the information about PS3 and H.264 replay is out there, it's just scattered all over the net! Someone needs to write a coherent FAQ and make a sticky. I would volunteer to do this if people think that's a good idea...Yes, that really is an excellent idea! :)
A FAQ, sort of a User's Guide for tsMuxeR and usage of eac3to to maintain audio sync for PS3 and standalone replay would benefit both beginners and experts (not so many already somewhere answered questions to ask, to write, to read and to answer).

Just found a hint that eac3to could help me to solve my
"Issue 1: Audio sync after split (and append)". But I am new to tsMuxer and haven't heard of eac3to before. So, I would welcome any instructions how to do the job.

Is it a easy solution? I also noticed the same rewind and ffwd problems with Tsmuxer files. I also noticed a little pauses when skipping chapters.

[jdobbs]

Is it a easy solution? I also noticed the same rewind and ffwd problems with Tsmuxer files. I also noticed a little pauses when skipping chapters. Easy to write a program -- a little tedious to do by hand. You have to find the instances where it happens and add a new COARSE entry. The easiest way is to just read the tables into memory and then simply rewrite the COARSE/FINE correctly back into the CLPI file (then change the pointers/references).

[rica]

I also noticed the same rewind and ffwd problems with Tsmuxer files. I also noticed a little pauses when skipping chapters.

Hi,
dunno how it handles but just tick "change fps" option (under track options) and manually input fps; it is gonna work.
Just give it a go.

[jdobbs]

I do that with every mux. It doesn't solve the problem. It is very obvious when played back on my Sony standalone. For example, when you try to reverse it will go a few seconds backward and then start going forward. When you seek to a chapter, you sometimes will hear sound for a few seconds before the picture catches up. Some are worse than others. It all depends how far off the packet pointers are off.

This is not something that goes away with FM. It is a finite, repeatable, easily identifiable problem. If you dump the table IT IS VERY OBVIOUS there is a mistake in the CLPI.

I guess nobody wants to hear it... I thought I was being helpful reporting the problem along with an exact description of the symptom (as well as an offer for a solution). Heck with it... I'll do mine correctly and everyone else can continue to pretend it isn't there.

Can I make PS3 working with HDMV structure from Scenarist?

It looks like PS3 doesn't like original index file- when I replace it with the one from TSMuxer than it plays fine, but I'm missing order playback, etc (because of the wrong index and playlist file). It's funny becuase all pop-up menus work fine.
Is there a way to patch index (or some others files) to get project from Scenarist working on PS3 from hard disk?

I just need to fool PS3 that this is an AVCHD project, so it can start playing it from root of the hard disk.

Thanks

Attached is a small command line program that will correct the CLPI. Just run it with a single parameter that represents the path to the CLPI file that was created by TSMUXER in blu-ray mode. If it finds the error (it will normally be there except on very small muxes) it will rewrite the CLPI with the tables corrected.Thankyou jdobbs for this little app, much appreciated, Tested it on the ps3 tonight from TSmuxers blue ray output skipping chapters RW & FF all work perfectly now. Like jdobbs i have used TSmuxer for quite some time & are happy this issue has been fixed, can you help us with the dolby TrueHD problem as i get no sound in the ps3 ?

Originally posted over in eac3to forum, but reply there seemed to indicate error was in tsRuxeR. Anyway essentially problem is this - has anyone else noticed that tsRemuxeR will remux the various tracks, but ends up (probably) doubling the length of a 5.1 PCM/LPCM, which I made from a TrueHD, as described below

Used eac3to 2.69 to extract the VC1 and all three audio tracks in one run; used DOS commandline, and -i 24 -c 6 -s 48000


For the TrueHD, I just extracted using the stdout technique, and saved as 6-channel PCM

Anyway tsMuxeR will import and correctly recognize the video and all three audio tracks (after I ran the 2-channel PCM thru PCM2TSMU)

But there is some problem with the BR files I produce
When running tsMuxer, it says at one point about processing a certain number of video frames (as if it has finished video early)

When you let thing complete, there are no declared errors, but PowerDVD reports as 5.38.04 i length (way too long), and video seems to "run out" about half way thru.
The AC3 track plays fine and is synced
There is sound on the 6-ch PCM but it appears very slow
The 2-channel PCM file from original disc also plays fine and is synced

I have successfully extracted 6 and 8 channel PCM before from other formats including TrueHD, but something seems to have gone wrong here - any ideas

Thanks

The TrueHD track on DM & TR Live at Radio City is 96/24, maybe omit the -48000 command and leave the Hz at 96000?

Edit: If you wish to keep 48kHz, you should use -resampleto48000 (instead of -48000).

jdobbs, I just wanted to mention something in regards to your application. I am not sure if I should be concerned or not...

After correcting the clip info file with your application, I am noticing that during seeking at regular intervals the picture seems to display a band across the bottom portion of the screen from a previous scene. This seems to be where tsMuxeR created files used to stick for a fraction of a second. I guess my concern is... Yes, your application has definitely made seeking smoother... But... Has it introduced something else that could present problems?

Has anybody else noticed this after using the clpi fix?

Note: For reference, I am using ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre.

[GZZ]

I havent notice that yet. But I have another 'issue' so to speak. I dont know if its a issue and its properly not related to tsMuxer. But after inserted chapters and playing the movie, I sometimes see the last 1-5 frames from the previous scene, if I then shift forward the chapters by 100-200 ms, then they are acurrate. Dont know if it has something to do with -b-pyramid option in x264 encoder or what it is. But its a small bug, I can live with it.

Note: For reference, I am using ArcSoft TotalMedia Theatre.I don't see how there could be any connection whatsoever to the updates by fixclpi. The file that is changed is simple pointers to locations. It doesn't have any effect at all on the video at all. It doesn't really even change the pointer location -- it only corrects data that was missing in the MSB (most significant bits) of the pointers.

I'd look somewhere else for the cause...

Yes, I was thinking it's probably just the Media Player. It's not even much concern. It's only a slight flash and the video is flashing past at 20x speed anyway so it's likely quite normal. I just thought I'd mention it just in case it was useful in any way.

I already burnt a disc with a corrected clpi and I plan to take it into work (I help manage an Audio Visual Retail Store) and test it on every Blu-ray Player we have.

Previous discs burnt after multiplexing with tsMuxeR did stick a little when seeking and on some players completely froze (mainly the Sony BD players did this). I will report back later. :-)

@jeffnoone
Please put your eac3to log files to know the problem.

Thanks to odin24 I know:
"The TrueHD track on DM & TR Live at Radio City is 96/24"

then your:
"used DOS commandline, and -i 24 -c 6 -s 48000"
is wrong. If your TrueHD track is the 4 (with the logs I can know this) you need:

eac3to <your_source> 4: stdout.pcm | Pcm2Tsmu - tsmu.pcm -s 96000

-i 24 -c 6 -s 48000 are defaults and only need the parameter when are distinct.
If you want half size and 48 KHz you can use:

eac3to <your_source> 4: stdout.pcm -resampleTo48000 | Pcm2Tsmu - tsmu.pcm

Dont know if it has something to do with -b-pyramid option in x264 encoder or what it is. But its a small bug, I can live with it.I have noticed the same problem, though it's not always that the chapter point is too early i.e. you get the prior scene. Sometimes it's too late i.e. comes a few frames after the ideal/original point.

It seems as if using the original program's chapter points (e.g. 01:23:35.638) with the Re-encoded movie just misses the mark i.e. the original doesn't line-up properly with a keyframe in the new encoding.

I wonder if one needs to manually look at the re-encoded .264 recording, prior to muxing w/tsMuxeR, to find the best new I-frame to specify for the chapter point?

Some slight inaccuracy might be expected, especially when there isn't a stark difference at the scene change that would trigger X264's scene change detection to put a keyframe at the exact chapter point. The chapters you put into TSMUXER only relate to muxing and building of the MPLS file... the encode with selection of keyframes has already been done at that point. On the other hand, it may be possible for the playback software to be frame accurate even without a keyframe with AVC on BD-- I'm not positive about that. You'd think it would be really obvious in those encodes where a large grouping is used.

Interesting from the referenced post that is seems to always be off by the same amount, though...

One way you could make them exact, I guess, would be to encode all the chapters individually and then combine them afterward.

I'm not aware of another way to force a keyframe in x264 -- does anybody else know of one?

Actually it's close to beta test now.
Great! :)

Still time for a Feature Request asking for a TSRebuilder
to rebuild captured DVB-S2 TS supporting kind of the following procedure?

a) trim both ends (ok with tsMuxeR)
b) cut out unwanted interior parts (possible but complicated with tsMuxeR, involving append with risk of audio sync problems)
c) define chapters in the resulting stream (ok with tsMuxeR; finding of suitable chapter locations probably could be done using some other sw like NeroVision)
d) supply a simple, table-of-contents-like main and chapters menu (currently not possible with tsMuxeR)
c) create an AVCHD structure (like supplied by tsMuxeR, but including chapter menus)

More details here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1206557#post1206557)

Does anybody know of an affordable sw out there which does this WITHOUT excessive re-encoding?

[GZZ]

I was thinking the same, X264 should have a parameter, so you could include at chapter list and it then could insert an keyframe on those exact location, then I think chapters will be correct. I think CCE does that for Mpeg2, so cant see why it couldnt be built into x264. But I might be wrong. :)

eac3to will properly strip 3:2 pulldown from H.264 files and so far it's worked for all of mine... is that what you mean?

1. Apparently most x264 cl's allow use of B-frames as "reference points" and so I observed that many scene changes in my 264 were at B-frames, not I-frames.

2. To find this I had to use Avidemux, as serving VirtualDub 1.8.6 with DGAVCindex .dga file displays each/every frame as a K(keyframe)!!??

3. Although I'd changed my .meta file for tsMuxeR to reflect the exact scene change point, clearly it was instead finding I-frames on playback. Sorta ugly.

4. When I saw with Avidemux the correct x:xx:xx.xxx codes for the I-frames, and edited the .meta file accordingly, all the chapters now seek to exactly the place I'd selected (which was in every case an I-frame).

I would like to know how to not use B-frames as "reference" if I'm interpreting this correctly. Would rather always assert an I-frame if possible at scene changes. All of my scene changes were stark/different/obvious indeed.

BTW I used --keyint 24 and --min-keyint 2 and it seems each/every GOP was 24 long, not sure this is right (should have been some GOPs <24???).

Thanks jdobbs for fixclpi.exe--tried that also and it seemed to make a difference.

You need an I frame on a chapter point. If you put it somewhere on P or B frame than it's very likely that player will jump to the nearest I frame instead of specified place. It does work like this for DVD and also for Blu-ray.

They can be shorter GOPs, but there may not be- depends on the encoder.

You can raise the value of scenecut, but I use --min-keyint 1 on all my captures that I reencode and it definitely does nail almost every break, of course I'm going to a lot of black scenes and such during commercials, so my odds probably increase. I think min-keyint has a dash in the parameter, did you use minkeyint? that might be why every gop is exactly 24.

[Ryu77]

Yes you are correct, "min-keyint" is meant to have a dash.

Yes you are correct, "min-keyint" is meant to have a dash.Just a typo in my post. I did indeed use --min-keyint 2.

@jdobbs and GZZ,

Thanks for the clpifix app and GUI, they both work fantastic. My only trial with the app was on a direct port with no recoding, rip --> BD-RE (h264 & DTSHD-MA). Hopefully I'll have the same results from the same source recoded for DVD9 and DTS core, I'll know soon. Playback was on the PS3.

Thanks again.

EDIT: The recoded DVD9 works just as well with the fixed clpi file on the PS3.

Attached is a small command line program that will correct the CLPI. Just run it with a single parameter that represents the path to the CLPI file that was created by TSMUXER in blu-ray mode. If it finds the error (it will normally be there except on very small muxes) it will rewrite the CLPI with the tables corrected.

I want to be sure that no one misunderstands me on this... TSMUXER is a great program and I use it all the time. It's the only one I know of that does what it does as well as it does. This little app is just a way to correct a small glitch -- which I have to assume will be corrected by the TSMUXER authors in due time.

Thanks Bud!:)

I have now tested these "corrected" Blu-ray discs on various stand alone Blu-ray players and they seem fine. As I had already mentioned, it was probably just the media player and it wasn't much of a concern.

Also, it seems that the newer Somy BDPS350 doesn't freeze with burnt BD-9 (AVCHD/BD-ROM) discs like the previous Sony models did. It's good to see improvements in stand alone Blu-ray players as well as price reductions. I feel that soon Blu-ray will see a big leap in market penetration.

Let me begin by saying that I LOVE TsMuxeR! I am having a small problem however, when getting TsMuxeR to read the .mpls on seamless branch discs to put together the correct streams. Everything comes out in the proper order, but there are several places where the audio/video is out of sync. Should I manually mux these section of the m2ts files, or is there another way to make sure that audio stays in sync. The disc in question was my BlueRay of Forgetting Sarah Marshall that I backed up using DumpHD and TsMuxeR. I am sure I have much to learn when backing up seamless branch discs. I will get my disc out and try the back up again once I get some feedback. Thanks!

[SwissyJim]

here's a (probably) dumb question. But I've searched and could not find the answer I was looking for.

But using tsmuxer 1.8.8 on Bluray disks, how do I know if there are subtitles that are needed, like during a brief section of foreign language? Are they hard coded in and NOT one of the selectable subtitle tracks? I'm removing all extras for space savings, but I want to make sure I don't remove a needed subtitle. Is there a way to tell what should stay and what can go?

Again, sorry for the dumb question but I didn't find this by searching. Thanks!

[rica]

SwissyJim,

Sorry but the question is not so much understandable; at least for me.

If you mean forced subtitles on the main movie; they are hard-coded afaik.

I don't think there is an application that tells you this straight up. I have the same concern with every movie that I process, which is a lot.

What I do is demux all english subtitle tracks, then view each of them with SUPRead, this applications can do many things with .sup subs including viewing them for proper placement when remuxing and viewing the text. It will also show how many images there are, usually there is ~1200 images to a 2hr movie or ~1500 to a SDH sub track (descriptive subs for deaf and hard of hearing).

Now if there is a sub track with only 50 or 60 images then that is probably the "forced" sub track that is required, that is not hardcoded. Unfortunately I have not found a way to enable the automatically, but with this knowledge you know to enable them yourself right away.

If there is only sub tracks with ~1200-1500 images then if there are any "forced" subs then they would most likely be hardcoded.

I have found this method to be pretty reliable. Hope it helps.

EDIT: BTW, I do all of my demuxing with eac3to only because it handles seamless branching titles (more than one m2ts file to the main movie) better than tsMuxeR. eac3to fixes gap/overlaps whereas tsMuxeR doesn't and this could cause sync issues.

[Bigmango]

I am also voting for the feature to allow us to automatically enable forced subtitles.

Is this something we might see in a future release?

[BZeeme]

If I use fixclpi on the clpi file in the backup CLIPINF folder as well as in the main CLIPINF folder, the BP5 will not play in my standalone (Panasonic DMP-BD30 with latest firmware) but will play in my computer's BD/HD-DVD player (LG Model GGC-H20L). If I run fixclpi on only the main CLIPINF folder, the Panasonic will play it.

BTW, I don't see any difference between BD5s with or without correcting the clpi (same movie)

Feature requests for tsMuxeR

Out of recent experiences with DVB-S2 H.264 TS streams, recorded with DVBViewer from Astra 19.2E Free TV transmissions, I would like to suggest the following feature requests:

1. In "Split & Cut" add Cutting option "Enable snapping to next (nearest) I-frame for Start and End ON/OFF"
Why? DVB-S2 streams practically never start with an I-Frame. tsMuxer and othe programs seem to suppose that input streams start with an I-frame. This feature would help to comply with this requirement and help to avoid audio delay and lip-sync problems.

2. Allow chapter list with annotation:
(internally skip the annotation part behind the timestap after character position 12)
Example:
00:00:00.000 Project Heading
00:00:36.700 Clip 1
00:03:11.000
00:04:51.200 Clip 2| Madonna| Like a virgin
00:05:31.400
00:07:01.200 Clip 3
etc.
Why: Can be useful for later chapter menu or subtitle creation or just to remember the contents of that chapter.
When searching for appropriate chapter entrance points in captured DVB-S2 recordings, you normally collect the data in such a format in a notepad text file:
<timestamp>[<space as delimiter>< annotation comment>]

3. Allow option "Snap to next/Nearest I-Frame ON/OFF" for chapters.
Why: more fluent replay?

4. Allow individual audio delays for each audio input stream.
Why? Compensate for different audio delays of each input stream. DVB-S2 recordings can have more than one audio stream, each having its individual delay.

May I direct your attention to my other two best ignored postings

Do you know how to wrap simple table-of-content-like chapter-menu(s) around tsMuxeR's BD structure?

I love tsMuxeR's processing speed! :)
All other software I found and tested applied excessive re-encoding!

@ Cela

you better report these requests to tsmuxer@smartlabs.tv

...you better report these requests to tsmuxer@smartlabs.tvThanks! Followed your advice!

I supposed, the tsMuxeR experts would read this thread concerning their program.

And, I still have not given up hope to get some feedback from the experts here. Maybe, most or all of what I ask for, can be already done? And somebody would tell me where to read how?

My most urgent question right now:
A simple and quick way to transform the captured ts, which does not start and end at I-frames into a few frames shorter ts that will start and end with an I-frame as "good" input for tsMuxeR.

I know, H264TSCutter can do it, but it is considerably slower producing the output than tsMuxer or TSPlayer. Thus, I only use it for "precious" recordings and look for an alternative for everyday recordings.

Nero ShowTime 4 (Nero 8) plays all tsMuxeR remuxed BDs fine.
After using fixclpi on 720p BD-9 or BD-5 the Nero OSD shows 1920x1080 and it hangs/crashs. Movie doesn't start anymore.

Posted by BZeeme:If I use fixclpi on the clpi file in the backup CLIPINF folder as well as in the main CLIPINF folder, the BP5 will not play in my standalone (Panasonic DMP-BD30 with latest firmware) but will play in my computer's BD/HD-DVD player (LG Model GGC-H20L). If I run fixclpi on only the main CLIPINF folder, the Panasonic will play it Suspicious. Panasonic BD players are known as very compliant players.

Hello - I've been using tsMuxer for a while now with 99% success (and satisfaction). However, there is one annoying little quirk for a few movies. I found that somehow, during the remuxing of a BD title to a BD folder, tsMuxer omits the .clpi information in the clpi folder, hence when i playback as an ISO mount, the BD title just sits there not doing anything. I know that tsMuxer has issues with screwing up clpi files, but i haven't seen anyone report the files missing in the folders themselves (i have the original BD disk and its fine). Does anyone have a fix for this?

it's really a godd piece of software, but there are few enhancements that could me made.

- create basic menu of bluray output (like nero)
- create snapshot of the video when creating the chapters (could be use to browse the chapter's list)
- better handling for rw and ff for the PS3
- when you import 2 movies, the option to join them, not creating 2 separetes movies. Useful when we have a 2 parts movie.

Make sure you forward your suggestions to smlabs.

There is a fix out right now for the seeking issues with the PS3, it's a separate application that fixes the clpi file in the Blu-ray structure. It can be found in this thread, it called fixclpi.exe, there is also a gui. It works very well.

Also, joing two files in tsMuxeR already exists, it's called "append". Load your first file, then append the second, third, and so on. The A/V streams must be identical for this to work though.

thanks, but that is when you use AVCHD ou burn the bluray ?. in Tsmuxer, I choose the output bluray, but I manually select 00001.m2ts when I watch a movie. I don't burn them.

but when BDrebuilder will be release..or when tsmuxer will add menus.. that will be something else.

Hi,

After searching the thread -- I couldn't find anyone with similar issues, so I hope someone can give me a hand... I am trying to convert some m2ts files (that contain TrueHD audio) into stripped down m2ts with AC3 (ie: get rid of the extra languages and subtitles). I start the gui version, select tracks I want to eliminate and/or convert - ID where to save the file and press convert. On several files the conversion will start and then hang (ie: stop at 46%, for example, and never move on).

What can I do to see what is causing the hangs?

I am running this under WinXP...

Thanks in advanced.

Why dont you just use eac3to to get the ac3 track out of the THD track and then use tsmuxer to mux back to m2ts?

[nasa]

eas4uk,

Could you point me to a howto to do what you suggest? I am fairly new to this.....

Thanks

BTW: I have been somewhat successful with most of my blu-ray rips. I get the main *.m2ts file from the blu-ray (I have anydvdhd) and generally I can play them with mplayer. I do sometimes run into issues with languages, but most of those I can get the right track identified and playing. However, there are some disk which have the english audio in TrueHD and other languages in AC3. Since I have never learned any other language, those tracks aren't useful to me... So I was trying tsmuxer to reduce the size by removing unused tracks while getting the truehd to an AC3 format so I can hear it... I have used tsmuxer to fix a couple of blu-ray's, but for some reason some flicks just don't work.

The guide here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=137151 doesn't address removing/converting audio tracks..

Its quite a long thread and it helps if your familiar with the command line, although there is a GUI available

If you want to downconvert THD to ac3 the command line will be:

eac3to input.m2ts output.ac3

If you want to keep THD as it is, it's another story:
