Looks nice, Roman. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks!

You are the author I assume!!

[yonta]

This is the muxer I've been looking for!
Thank you.

a quick test result with EVO/M2TS to TS remuxing

1. DTS/DTS-HD tracks in EVO are not recognized.
2. some DTS tracks in EVO are recognized as mono AAC 96 KHz.
3. DTS/DTS-HD in m2ts is correctly recognized and processed.
4. VC-1 in m2ts is not recognized.

I will test more with elementary stream muxing and report the result.

This is very promising. Hopefully we'll see muxing of lpcm, dolby true hd in the future.

[Olebrumm71]

Hello!

I just tried to use this new 'tsMuxer' application to mux a H.264/AVC elementary stream (made using HRD patched X264) with a 1536kbit/sec DTS audio track.

The resulting TS file plays well on my computer.

I then ran this TS file through TSRemux 0.18 creating a BluRay output. The resulting .m2ts file (in the STREAM folder) also plays well on my PC.

I then transfer this .m2ts file (renaming it though to .mpg ) to the HD of my PS3. When playing this file on the PS3 the video is perfect, but there is NO audio at all. The control panel in the PS3 XMB video player shows no audio codec at all for the file?

And I think that I have seen other people have reported that the PS3 is capable of playing back MPEG-2 transport streams with H.264/AVC video streams and DTS audio-tracks? (or is this limited to MPEG-2 transport streams with MPEG-2 video and DTS audio tracks ? )

[roman76r]

This is very promising. Hopefully we'll see muxing of lpcm, dolby true hd in the future.
Yes.

Atak_Snajpera

OK. :)
Tomorrow I shall make updating with m2ts support.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Renaming is not necessary!

When playing this file on the PS3 the video is perfect, but there is NO audio at all.

Audio must be transcoded to AC3!

Tomorrow I shall make updating with m2ts support.
Oh my god! You are really fast!

[survivant001]

did someone try this feature ?

Ability to change level for H.264 streams

I think we should still continue to generate a h264 4.1 and mux it with this tool.

[neuron2]

Here is my translation of the readme.txt.
-----

How to use tsmuxer from the command line:

It is necessary to create a file with the extension '.meta'. In this file are listed the streams that are to be multiplexed into the transport stream, the type of each stream, and additional parameters delimited by commas. Each additional parameter is specified by a name and value. Here is an example of the contents of a .meta file:

V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, D:\media\test\stream.h264, fps=25
A_AC3, D:\media\test\stream.ac3, timeshift=-10000ms

This example specifies the multiplexing of one AC3 audio stream and one H264 video stream.

Additional parameters:

fps - For H264 video it is possible to assign an fps value (see the example above). If fps is not specified, it is determined from the stream.

level - Allows for specifying the level field in H264 streams. For example, it is possible to change High@5.1 to High@4.1. One should bear in mind that this merely rewrites the field and does not recode the stream to satisfy the requirements of the lower level.

timeshift - Supports timeshifting of the audio stream. It can specify positive or negative timeshifts. The value of timeshift can be given in milliseconds ending with 'ms' (e.g., 25ms), or in seconds ending with 's' (e.g., 1s). This parameter makes it possible to shift the audio either forwards in time (positive values of the parameter) or backwards in time (negative values of the paramater).

down-to-dts - Can be used to convert DTS-HD to standard DTS.

track - Beginning from version 0.9.96 this parameter allows specifying a stream contained in a container. In this case it is necessary to specify the number of the stream inside the container. The following containers are supported:

TS/M2TS
EVO/VOB/MPG
MKV

To determine the number of a path, execute:

tsmuxer <name of the container file>

To start tsmuxer, open a Windows command window and type:

tsmuxer <name of a .meta> <name of the output TS file>

Specifiers for 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) [The subtype DD or DD+ is determined automatically]
A_AAC - AAC
A_DTS - DTS/DTS-HD

tsmuxer does not use external filters (codecs).

[yonta]

I played around with elementary stream muxing last night and all the samples I have seemed to work just fine!!! except one vc-1 video from Blu-ray.
My rough guess is that this 1080i@29.97fps vc-1 video(NIN Live) is probably corrupt or something because another 1080i@29.97fps vc-1 from HD DVD(Galapagos) works ok.

Looking forward to TrueHD/LPCM support!

[puppydg68]

Thank you so much, I've been looking for a good AVC+ac3 solution for PS3 streaming. Xmuxer/manzan and everything else let me down.. Going to try this right away!
Hope it works with ps3

update. Works great on the 2 muxes i tried so far. One thing to note, the .TS files that TSmuxer outputs is fully compatible with PS3 with full audio. No need to remux using tsremux to .M2ts. Both muxes i tried had full audio with the resulting TSmuxer file.

1) AVC+LCPM Blu-ray - demuxed using tsremux, and audio converted to .AC3 - Muxed back together with the new TSMuxer to .TS - worked 100% on ps3 streamed through tversity.
2) X264 MKV - mkvextract into elementary streams, AVC Profile converted to 4.1. Muxed back together with new TSMuxer to .TS - worked again.

Just wanted to say thanks for an awesome tool.

[fbd]

:thanks:neuron2

2) X264 MKV - mkvextract into elementary streams, AVC Profile converted to 4.1. Muxed back together with new TSMuxer to .TS - worked again.

Just for your info,
1) You don't have to demux AVC in this case.
Just load the .m2ts in tsMuxeR and uncheck LPCM track and add .AC3 converted from LPCM.

2) tsMuxeR supports Direct MKV input and on-the-fly AVC level changing.

[The1n]

Im seeing some strange behaviour , if im trying to remux a bluray with lpcm and ac3 tracks. When im muxing only the avc and ac3 track directly from the m2ts(bluray) file there is error messages in the gui saying that there is error in the ac3 stream and says resyncing.
With the outcome that the file is not playable on a PS3. But if i demux the ac3 track with TSmux0.19 and the directly muxes it into the original m2ts everything is fine.
This has happend for two different movies , just want to know if anyone elese experienced something similar.

Anyway as i have stated earlier I love this program.

@neuron2 thanks for transl.

wow, awesome, thanks for the tip.. I didn't know that. I did have a data corrupted, when trying to convert 1080 MKV files, do I need to change a profile or anything. I tried 4.1 and 5.1 for AVC level. both muxed and came out data corrupted on ps3. I was only trying on sample files so far.

Try to exctract the mkv with mkvexctract and mux it together with tsmuxer and never go over level 4.1 if you want it to be compatible with the ps3.

The1n

[tyee]

So, looking at the supported containers, like evo, has anyone tried an hd-dvd remux to .ts yet??

Hmmm.... still got to do something about that darn evo framerate of 29.97fps and get it back to 23.976 for a blu-ray .ts!

[jamos]

why do we need mt2s is it because it supports multiple streams? i thougt ps3 will not play mt2s unless its in a bd structure?

[Atak_Snajpera]

No... because AVCHD uses m2ts files and I want to create mini-bluray discs :)

no go with 1080p tried that..I have yet to see a 1080p mkv source work with just muxing on a ps3. Using ffmpeg to convert to mpeg2 always works for me on the ps3 and I really do not lose quality only time and space as it is a bigger file.

[jamos]

No... because AVCHD uses m2ts files and I want to create mini-bluray discs :)

ahh yes ive seen how to do that..good idea.

[Atak_Snajpera]

PS3 plays m2ts files without problems. PSP , DVD doesn't matter :) But video must be encoded like I mentioned before.

[survivant001]

my first test :

264 +ac3 = 4 384 047 406 bytes
mkv = 4 385 382 340 bytes
ts (gtom tsmuxer) = 4 512 126 900 bytes
m2ts(tsremux) = 4 622 791 872 bytes

here my command line to encode :

x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 7200 --stats ".stats" --progress --keyint 14 --bframes 3 --qpmin 7 --qpmax 51 --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter 0,0 --subme 6 --direct auto --vbv-bufsize 12000 --vbv-maxrate 26000 --me umh --level 4.1 --weightb --b-rdo --bime --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --aud --nal-hrd --sar 1:1 --output "movie.264" "movie.avs"


the playback is fine.. can ff and rw. (take some seconds to play after a ff.. but it's work fine (maybe is Tversity)

I'm happy happy :)

[Atak_Snajpera]

--qpmin 7 --qpmax 51 --aud do you really need this?

264 +ac3 = 4 384 047 406 bytes
ts (gtom tsmuxer) = 4 512 126 900 bytes
m2ts(tsremux) = 4 622 791 872 bytes
It looks like my calculations were correct (3% and 5.5%)

[puppydg68]

wow, awesome, thanks for the tip.. I didn't know that. I did have a data corrupted, when trying to convert 1080 MKV files, do I need to change a profile or anything. I tried 4.1 and 5.1 for AVC level. both muxed and came out data corrupted on ps3. I was only trying on sample files so far.

Changing the profile level to 4.1 did not for PS3 play for me within the TSmux program. however if I convert a 5.1 to 4.1 in h264info first then mux it with tsmux, it works fine.

Still no luck getting 1080 MKV or AVC stuff working on PS3, unless the original AVC came from a blu-ray m2ts in the first place, then I'm able to convert dts to ac3 mux it with tsmux and stream to ps3 from the network.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Still no luck getting 1080 MKV or AVC stuff working on PS3,

This is because your mkv was encoded with b-pyramid.

[survivant001]

--qpmin 7 --qpmax 51 --aud do you really need this?


I think that -aud was mandatory for Encore cs3.. but don't know what it does.. but it work, so I'll let it there until I figure what it really does :)

for --qpmax 51 it useless
for --qpmin 7 (the default is 10), I change it to 7 because with the bitrate that I have to file size was 3.6 gigs instead of 4.x and in the stats, I had 60+ % at qp 10, I just change it to 7 to fit the target size.

most of the time.. I don't have to change it. it's a anime my movie.. always the same one that give me so much trouble :)

I got a PRSN of 0.9976 I think

[survivant001]

@Atak_Snajpera

will you update ripbot264 for adding the output ts or m2ts (when it will be available) using tsremux (command line) ?

@roman76r

next step is the subtitle or avchd output, chapters ?

really nice of you for your program. Didn't took you so long to add m2ts feature.

oh ya.. you can add the feature : multiple sources in the input text box. instead of choosing the video, after that choosing the audio

[puppydg68]

This is because your mkv was encoded with b-pyramid.

can a b-pyramid encode be converted losslessly to work on ps3, or does it require a totally new encode?

[neuron2]

It requires a new encode.

[The1n]

It requires a new encode.

Correct me if i am wrong but x264 from version 721 onwards does work with b-pyramid for dxva and ps3 ?

The1n

[The1n]

@roman

Any idea why your program says "AC3 bad frame detected. Resync stream." when im trying to remux a bluray m2ts, it works if i demux the ac3 track first and mux it into the avc stream.

[jamos]

M2TS muxing is ready. Look the first post.

works great for the ps3 using ts. the 4.1 lvl set does not seem to work correctly though I had to use h264info on the elementary stream first but no big deal. After that remuxed the 4.1 elementary video and audio streams into a ts file. really quick program muxed 4.6 gig in like 5 minutes. Plays fine on ps3 with ff/rw working. PS3 owners should love ya Roman!

Now with m2ts support we can make mini bluray discs also :) using dvds that will play on the ps3..

[Bigmango]

Please, consider adding subtitles sooner rather than later.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick update!

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

[kleen]

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

[ultratoto14]

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

[roman76r]

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

[ultratoto14]

Same problem with this version. VLC ok MPC ko

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

[survivant001]

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

but it works.. really happy

[zAndy1]

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

Thanks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Holly Molley Roman, you are fast :eek:

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

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

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

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

[Joniii]

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

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

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

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

Hi,

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

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

@puppydg68

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

Guys I must be dreaming!!

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

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

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

[TEB]

Super tool!!!

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

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


best regards TEB

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

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

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

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

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

[tyee]

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

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

[musicman2311]

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

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

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

[glen8]

musicman,

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

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

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

I will report back my findings.

Thanks.

[lance79]

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

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

[musicman2311]

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

What I did:

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

ok?

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

[Zow]

Wow, this is RAPID development:-)

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

[glen8]

Thanks musicman

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

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

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

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

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

[glen8]

I'VE DONE IT!!!!!

HD-DVD > Blu-Ray

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

[puppydg68]

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

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

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

Since I used the same method on both BDs.

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

Thanks for all of the help.


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

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

First of all, tsmuxer works GREAT. One problem, for me: I don't have a fast windows box, just a laptop with a slow processor and running on wifi only.

So, does anyone know of an open source program that can mux the h264/ac3 elemental streams (from the mkv, extracted with mkvextract)?

I tried with ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -f ac3 -i in.ac3 -f h264 -i in.h264 -f mpegts -o out.ts
mv out.ts out.vob

The PS3 reports the file as "corrupt", though.

I'd really like to be able to do this without having to copy GBs of data over wifi to my laptop... :/

Thanks!

you have to set the avc lvl to 5.1 for the video stream to get it to play on the ps3. I would suggest using mkv2vob as it uses tsmuxer and also uses h264info to set the stream to 4.1. tsmuxer has this feature to set the lvl to 4.1 but it does not work as of ver 1.2.3b. if the video is 1080p though it most likely will have to be transcoded with ffmpeg to play on the ps3 which mkv2vob does also.

Sorry, I neglected to mention I wrote a C program that changes the h264 video stream's header to mark it as 4.1 instead of 5.1. Muxing this h264 file with a 2-channel AAC file (transcoded from the AC3) into an mp4 container plays back fine on the PS3. But I want 5.1 audio. :/

tsmuxer should work if you correctly set the lvl to 4.1. I know h264info does it correctly. so try tsmuxer if the lvl is set to 4.1 and the video is not 1080p it should play on the ps3. mkv2vob uses h264info and tsmuxer and it works for all my mkv files. Like i said though if your source is 1080p then it most likely will have to be transcoded to mpeg2 to play on the ps3.

I need to be able to do what tsmuxer does, but on FreeBSD. Wine is not an option, as I run 64-bit FreeBSD, so I can't run tsmuxer in wine. I was hoping someone knew of an open source way to mux the h264/ac3 into a PS3-compatible TS (so I can rename it to .vob and stream it to the PS3).

Perhaps I'm just doing something wrong in my ffmpeg command?

sorry did miss that you were not using xp. but ffmpeg should work if you did set the lvl correctly to 4.1 which when it is not is when I get the corrupted video prompt from my ps3.

for ffmpeg you need to copy the codecs or your gonna reencode and not mux.
-vcodec copy -acodec copy

ffmpeg -r 23.976 -f h264 -i video.h264 -f ac3 -i audio.ac3 -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f vob output.vob

where -r is your frame rate.

this works but you do not get ff/rw functionality.

Crap, you're right. I guess for this particular h264 stream, changing the byte to level 4.1 (0x33 -> 0x29) was not enough to make it work. :rolleyes:

Ugh, now I need a replacement for h264info.exe in FreeBSD...

Perhaps, to some....

But, there are a lot of subtitled movies around, and if you don't speak the original language of the movie, even a perfect rip is useless without subtitles (unless it's Blu-Ray porn, I guess:-)

As to Blu-Ray disk to disk copying, the time involved, plus the cost of the media, will get you pretty close to the price of the original disk. Hard drives are cheap, and more convenient for many.

Anyway, hopefully both will come to be soon.

It is not a bag. Some hardware decoders may miss first video unit if it is near begin of a file. To prevent it tsMuxer insert 15 PAT/PMT records in the beginning of a file.

so you already have a avchd structure and just put the .m2ts file in the stream directory? what structure do you use? using tsremux I always get a divide by zero error when creating a bd structure from a m2ts or ts.

[Atak_Snajpera]

so you already have a avchd structure and just put the .m2ts file in the stream directory? what structure do you use?

After many tests I realized that BluRay structure must be generated according to input *.m2ts file. I made simple test in Nero Vision. Everything was made by vision (compression+Bluray Structure). PS3 accepted AVCHD without problems but when I replaced 00000.m2ts with my own (encoded by vision as well) it didn't work on PS3 :( (my file outside structure is working on PS3)
Maybe I am wrong but it looks like that bluray structure uses some kind of checksum.

yes I have seen some posts where you can hex edit some files to make them match. But the problem I have is the divide by 0 error in tsremux before it finishes creating the bd structure so I cant even use that method.

First of all I want to thank you for this masterpiece of Software. Just a question, is it possible that DTS don't work properly yet ? I tried to mux one of my original BluRays as m2ts together with a 24bit DTS track. The result is not playable in PowerDVD or MPC. I normally try playing the files in PowerDVD first as this one demands compliant streams. But it does not start playing. Same when trying to mux in normal .ts. If I convert the dts to ac3, the resulting m2ts plays fine in PowerDVD, but not in MPC. MPC says that there is no pin to connect to. Strange thing.

Tsmuxer doesn't produce standard compliant ts streams. Just try splitting these with TSsplitter and see that any parts except 1st one are unplayable, while splitting any standard ts stream results in all parts fully acceptable by any/all players. Also, pdvd reports wrong timecodes with .ts's created by TSmuxer from original ts(m2ts) streams.

[Atak_Snajpera]

but not in MPC. MPC says that there is no pin to connect to. Strange thing.

Did you install Haali Media Splitter? Did you install latest FFDShow? Disable internal filters as well.

Personally I have no problems with *.m2ts in MPC (AVC+AC3)

I have a quick question needing answering regarding .grf files. I'm sure a lot of us make these .grf files for encoding in an avisynth script for re-encoding before we use tsremux. I would like to know the difference between, for example, using a .grf vs. .evo in an avisynth script. I ask because recently I was using a .grf but then just tried the DirectShowSource line with a .evo in it and it encoded fine. So when do we use .grf's and when can we use .evo's, .m2ts's?? If a Directshow Filter can open a file, is it true we don't need to use .grf files??

[Atak_Snajpera]

If a Directshow Filter can open a file, is it true we don't need to use .grf files??

if DirectShow cannot automatically connect specific filters then you have to create .grf. Otherwise use DirectShowSource()

Roman, nice job on this slick program. I noticed that muxing DTS audio will not stream to the PS3 and be playable and that there is way to convert DTS to AC3 with another program and then mux the AC3 together. Would it be possible to incorporate that DTS to AC3 conversion process into your program to save some steps? I also like the one step process! Thanks again

[jamos]

link please :)

Ok I got AVCHD to work on the ps3 from .mkv files with no reencoding using mkvextract, h264info, tsmuxer, and tsremux. I will put up another thread here on the how to. Basically though if the .ts will not play on your ps3 then it will not work in a AVCHD without reencoding usually because the source has more than 4 reference frames which the ps3 does not support yet (ie 1080p avc 5.1). But for the many that do work it is pretty neat to archive them in AVCHD disks and play them with lossless video and ac3 audio. Most will fit on dvd-5 or dvd-9. Also I will show how to split a m2ts into parts to make a compilation for a movie if needed.

note: of course you could just burn the .ts files renamed to .mpg to a data dvd into PS3/VIDEO folder and play them as a file but I like having chapters and possibly subtitles (have not tried subtitles yet).

lol, I deinstalled PowerDVD a couple of days ago on one machine and MPC used to connect to the Cyberlink H264 filter, so it couldnt work. I was registering this filter manually and MPC was working fine again with AVC+AC3 in M2TS. But nevertheless, it does not seem to work with DTS. Anyone else with this experience ? Again, this is not meant as any critics, great program, easily working and easy to handle, this is awesome Roman. Thanks alot for your efforts.

I think he meant "HDBDSplitGUI" not splitterGUI. If you google this, it will find some more stuff. I tested this program a couple of weeks ago and really didn't like it. Even if I read from one drive and wrote to another, it was a noise as my drives would be going to explode. I think the latest version of H264TS_Cutter supports M2TS as Input as well, as long as there is AVC behind. I am going to test it this evening.

Hi. First off, thanks for the good program! Especially m2ts option looks promising for AVCHD disk creation.

Problems I found...

1. Automatic level changing from 5.1 to 4.1 does not work for me. I had to demux to elementary streams and change to 4.1 by H264Info.

2. I successfuly muxed one h264 video stream and two AC3 audio streams. It plays both audio streams on the PC but PS3 does not see the second stream. Only first one.

Is it supposed to support only one audio stream or I am doing something wrong?

This sounds like an easy solution to getting subtitles to work in Blu-Ray.

Also, if what the poster says is right: "...My theory is the the author of TSRemux left a small bug in the code, when the code should replace the stream type 91 with 90, it erroneously overwrites the PID 1200 with 0090.", then it should be an easy bug to fix.

But I am trying to get a Blu-Ray ripped to a H.264 MKV, with subtitles, so I'll have to wait, I guess.

PS3 can only play the first stream for files. You would need AVCHD disk to have different audio streams. And yes the 4.1 option does not work currently with TSmuxer.

Up till now this has worked for me

Demuxed the mkv file into the elemental streams
Change the level to 4.1
Reencode the audio from AC3 to aac 5.1 using eac2to and neroencode
Mux the two files back using mp4box

These play fine

But I really want AC3 audio since my PS3 is connected via Toslink (not HDMI) so 5.1 aac ends up as 2 channel PCM if I want to get any audio at all)

[idbirch2]

Can't you just rename the file to .mpg?No, Vista no longer allows streaming of .TS packets to an extender so it doesn't matter what file extension you rename it to, it won't play.

I've found from a bit of searching though, that ReJig can mux DTS with M2V, and it has successfully created a VOB which plays fine in MPC with DTS intact. VOB is a program stream so renaming this to .MPG should work. I'll be testing this on the 360 shortly.

Unless your going to make a AVCHD disk there is no way to use more than one audio track in a file that plays on the ps3 or use subtitles unless you force them (which means they are on all the time). Pretty much you are stuck with the mvk2vob method for the ps3.

[LOGiC]

@all,

maybe I can beg for your help again. I was testing a lot around with TSMuxer and the program is great. Unfortunately on the cutting side there seem to be a lack of good programs. I tried to remux my Ratatouille Blu-Ray as new .m2ts for testing purposes only and the filed was played very well. The problems start when trying to split it. I have tested with H264TSCutter, which accepts M2ts as input file. But this one goes back to .ts then. Using HDBDSplit makes some of the 4,5GB big disks stutter like hell. These can't be played. PowerDVD is doing some kind of diashow and MPC has issues with Tearing, which is very strange. Using EVR-Renderer normally doesn't bring even one line to my display, when playing this files I got heavy tearing. For having the graphics card acceleration (ATI HD 2600 XT) I really would prefer staying at .m2ts. But are there any tips for me how to successfully split a big file to several parts ? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you burn as Data DVD and you have a folder named PS3 (just like that) and inside that folder you have a folder named VIDEO (just like that) and finally rename your file and tag it with .mpg rather than .m2ts or .ts. Had the same problem till I made those folders and tagged with .mpg.

Ok, there is no problem here. Manually setting framerate and delay and I was able to perfectly go from evo to ts! I got framerate and delay from eac3to.

Hoping to see:

1. English documentation
2. LPCM support soon!

Thanks for a great tool!

[lexor]

Hoping to see:

1. English documentation

You seriously need a documentation for this? Well, OK.
Note, I don't actually use it in command line, I just translated the readme.txt, so if things are crashing or stuff doesn't work... not my fault!

How to use the muxer from the command line:

Create a file with extension ".meta" (without the quotes). Inside the meta file list all the files which you wish to mux to TS.

Meta File Format:
<Codec Name>, <File Name>, <Additional Options>

Additional options are delimeted by a commas. Above and from here on after <> are merely present for readability of this documentation and must not be included in actual files/command lines.

Sample Meta file content:

V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, D:\media\test\stream.h264, fps=25
A_AC3, D:\media\test\stream.ac3, timeshift=-10000ms

In the above example an audio track in AC3 format and a video stream in H264 format are muxed.

Additional Parameters:

fps - Specifies the fps of the video stream (see example above). If fps parameter is not set its will be read from the video stream

level - Changes the value of the level setting in H264 stream (eg. you can change profile High@5.1 to High@4.1)

timeshift - This parameter is for audio streams. It allows to set the delay, which can be positive or negative. To specify delay in milliseconds add "ms" (no quotes) at the end of the value, alternatively add "s" to specify the delay in seconds. Positive value shifts the audio forward, negative shifts the audio backwards.

down-to-dts - Available only for DTS-HD stream. Downmixes DTS-HD to standard DTS

down-to-ac3 - Availale only for True-HD with AC3 core (commonly found on Blu-ray discs). Downmixs to standard AC3

track - Starting with version 0.9.96 it is possible to link to streams in different containers (i.e. non-elemetary streams). The value of this option is the track number (in the source container) of the stream you wish to mux. The following containers are supported:
- TS/M2TS
- EVO/VOB/MPG
- MKV

To get the track numbers of various streams in one of the supported containers use the following command: tsMuxer <file name>

To start the muxer use the following command line: tsMuxer <name of the .meta input file> <name of the TS output file>

Nomenclature of codecs in meta files:
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 available for streams that also contain AC3 core)
A_AAC - AAC
A_DTS - DTS / DTS-HD
A_MP3 - MPEG audio layer 1/2/3

WARNING: Do not start extraneous filters (codecs) while tsMuxer is running. <--- (translator's note) no clue what that's supposed to mean, I'm assuming don't try to playback the files tsMuxer is working on.

Hi,

I use Tsmuxer (and some other programs) to convert my HDDVDs to Blurays. It works realy good, but there is one thing it don't understand. All the video streams from HDDVDs the Tsmuxer sees as 1080i and not 1080p. If I put a Bluray file in it it says it is 1080p. That is the case with all HDDVDs I own. And with Vc-1 and the other codecs. Is this a bug in Tsmuxer or is it becuase of my HDDVD files?Is there a other way to check if it is 1080p or1080i?
Thanks

[LOGiC]

@Roman

Do you see any chance to include an automatic cutting function for the next releases, which cuts .ts as well as .m2ts at given points, i.e. DVD5 4450MB or something like that. This tool is brilliant and that would round it up.

Thanks in advance.

[dirkr]

Does anybody know a program how I could see what audio delay the dts.audio from a m2ts file has so that I can mux a new audio file in sync to it?

Thanks

PS: Regarding TSMuxer (1.2.10): Converting evo to ts shows always 29,97 fps instead of 23,9...fps so I choose the fps manually. The file runs in sync after that but the 24p detection from my projector or my media player ? doesn't work anymore.... BUT all is ok with running on 60Hz (3:2 pulldown). Any ideas?

Is anyone aware that audio stream info disappears after build 1.2.0

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

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

Joniii, I had the same problem but I don't think the problem is with tsMuxeR. Try to play your DTS elementary stream in powerDVD. If it does not work correctly, the dts file is not correct. eac3to was able to recognize my "weird" dts file but not powerdvd and it crashed when played back in media player classic (using ffdshow).

Be sure to use the latest version of eac3to and get version 1.0.23 of Surcode DVD DTS (not .21). I am unsure if this helped but I redid the DTS file from the TrueHD track after getting the latest eac3to and 1.0.23 of surcode and the dts file is now correct and recognized by every program.

Guys I must be dreaming!!

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

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

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

I tried to mux a 29.97 AVC file with a DTS track that I did and the sound was out of sync completely when played back as a BLURAY disc in powerdvd (the structure was generated by tsremux as usual). I think you really need to go to 23.976 to get correct playback with sound, etc. Besides, if you want to be on the safe side, you should go to 23.976 as it is the only way to be blu-ray compliant and so to make your file playable in all blu-ray players.

in this case: I have a projector that can only show max. 1080i. So I have setup my PS3 to max. 1080i. The HD-DVDs with VC-1 codec convert to BluRay stutter (video, audio works fine) on the PS3 with 1080i output. I think, the VC-1 header must clean to 24p and 1080p.

So is it my fault or what is the case. On the cover of the HDDVDs is always1080p mentioned. If I open one stream with tsmuxer than it says it is 1080i. I converted some HDDVD to blu ray now. I didn't burn one now, but the ISO of them work perfect on the PC in perfect sync. I just wondered about this 1080i.(I am new to this sorry if I ask sutupid questions)What would I have to to that I would get 1080p?

The streams in the HD-DVD standard are encoded in 1080i/29,97fps with 3:2 pulldown. The HD-DVD players can then playback the movies on a 60Hz TV using that information. To playback in 24p, the HD-DVD players do "reverse pulldown" to go back to 23.976fps progressive.

The streams in the Blu-Ray standard are encoded in 1080p/23.976fps without 3:2 pulldown. The Blu-Ray players can then playback movies on a 60Hz TV by applying 3:2 pulldown "on the fly". To playback in 24p, the blu-ray player have nothing to do but to playback the stream at it's 23.976fps encoded form.

At least, that is what I can understand from both formats being different as they are. If I am mistaken then someone will correct me here. :)

[DoomBot]

All HD-DVDs are encoded in 1080p not 1080i

[DonCarlos]

Ok and what can I do to get the streams to 23.973fps in 1080p? With tsmuxer I get the 23.973 but not the 1080p?

[DonCarlos]

By the way. I have the HDDVD Troy. If I rip the EVOs to the harddisk and open them with tsmuxer it also says that it is encoded in 1080i. So I think Creator1 is right the movies are encoded in 1080i and the player does the job for 1080p.

[kurt]

maybe someone can clear things up - it would be much appreciated :)

In the header of the videostream: 1080i + 30p.
but the videostream is 1080p + 24p.

Why ? :confused:

I think: in the beginning of HD-DVD, Toshiba concept was: 1080i and 60 hz and the header helps the old Thosiba Hardware to convert.

ah, ok. I read about these old hd-dvd players on wikipedia... :)

do you think it would be possible to remove/change that header somehow during muxingprocess? I guess it messes things up on my popcorn hour...

@roman76r:

Muxed two evo files together but after muxing the merged file stops at the end of part 1.

Anything wrong with the muxing option?

If you mux two audio streams what do get have? (rhetorical question ;)
Audio1
Audio2

or Audio1+Audio2 ????

[neuron2]

In a correct transport file you would have two programs and each elementary stream would have its own PID.

But this muxer apparently does not support multiple programs, nor bitrate padding, nor PID setting, etc. So it is not useful for creating multiple program streams for broadcasting.

That's why I asked for the source code -- a reasonable request since the program claims to be released under GPL! I wanted to see if the design was suitable for extending it with those desirable features.

But it appears that Roman is taking a holiday. :(

Also setting avc lvl to 4.1 does not work(have to use h264info).
DTS streams do not work unless you remux them again with tsremux I think this started after release 1.2.
Auto PPS every picture does not work ie picture structure (have to use h264info).

as doombot says, the movies were encoded in 1080p, but then, as creator1 says, 3:2 pulldown flags on the video stream were set to satisfy HD-DVD standard. but any programme, when "see" 29,97 fps video stream call it "interlaced" anyway.

[n0mag!c]

i've spend a lot of time trying tsmuxer and I must say: it works INCORRECT with mpeg2 video stream, though with H264 it's OK. when muxing 24fps or 25 fps HD or even SD video (with average bitrate of 6-12 mb/s), resulting stream can't play smoothly. with haali splitter on PC, and AVCHD on PS3. first I blame PS3 that it can't read video with high bitrates, but then I test PS3 with "casino royale" bluray converted to AVCHD with tsremux, and PS3 play this test AVCHD flawlessly showing bitrate from 20 to 34 mb/s. then i noticed, that video plays non-smooth on PC also (it's easy to find, when you know, what exactly you are looking for). but the essence of this incorrect work with mpeg2 video stream is shown when muxing 29,97 fps video. video frames is constantly jumping and audio is totally out of sync.

Ok I understand that so far. But is there a way to get this pulldown away?Will tsmuxerbe able of doing that?Because I would like to get just a stream of 23.973fps and 1080p. I read the thread about vc1conv and tried this programm but that just made the fps to 23.973 but the 1080i stays(I already can do this with tsmuxer).

[Zow]

From your mouth to Roman's ears:-)

I have to ask a perhaps really stupid question:

I have been waiting for subtitles implementation. I assume it would mean that when I rip a Blu-Ray title to my drive as a .ts file (or .m2ts,) I'll be able to play it from the drive, with subtitles.

But, I also would like to shring the file size a bit. I've been ripping all my DVDs to H.264 MKVs, and have been very happy with the result. I'd like to be able to do the same with my BR/HD-DVD titles - shrink them to about 4-6GBs per title (drive space is cheap, but not that cheap.) I just HATE having to deal with disks.

If I can get the main title, plus selected audio, plus subtitles to a .ts or .m2ts file with smartLabs tsMuxeR, would I then be able to import this file to something like AutoMKV or RipBot, and convert to a H.264 MKV?

you miss the whole idea! no matter, how programme calls video stream "i" or "p". if it's been coded progressive, it remains such regardless to 3:2 pulldown flags. the flags are just flags. movies transferred from celluloid always have progressive structure. videos from cameras are interlaced.

[dirkr]

i've spend a lot of time trying tsmuxer and I must say: it works INCORRECT with mpeg2 video stream,

it works CORRECT! Muxed 2 movies today and both are in sync!

[[)370|\|470!2]

@all,

maybe I can beg for your help again. I was testing a lot around with TSMuxer and the program is great. Unfortunately on the cutting side there seem to be a lack of good programs. I tried to remux my Ratatouille Blu-Ray as new .m2ts for testing purposes only and the filed was played very well. The problems start when trying to split it. I have tested with H264TSCutter, which accepts M2ts as input file. But this one goes back to .ts then. Using HDBDSplit makes some of the 4,5GB big disks stutter like hell. These can't be played. PowerDVD is doing some kind of diashow and MPC has issues with Tearing, which is very strange. Using EVR-Renderer normally doesn't bring even one line to my display, when playing this files I got heavy tearing. For having the graphics card acceleration (ATI HD 2600 XT) I really would prefer staying at .m2ts. But are there any tips for me how to successfully split a big file to several parts ? Thanks in advance.

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1094458&postcount=133

The only workaround would be to split a file before using tsmuxer. Personally, i wouldn't use it at all, it sux. Plain and simple.

Cu.

That would make sense and explain why you can use VC-1 files from HD-DVD directly with Scenarist BDA and all works fine. The file might be encoded in 24p but there are 3:2 pulldown flags present. Maybe blu-ray simply ignore those flags during playback or scenarist removes them during muxing.

[LOGiC]

@Roman

I have one more question or feature request, but I don't know if this is possible. I know that it is open source, but do you think it would be possible to add x264 to .ts or .m2ts muxing ability ? That would be great but due to the high amound of different variations it could be possible. This feature surely would rock.

Thanks in advance.

I think: the PS3 have a forced output in the 1080p 24p option. It ignore the 1080i flag. But if the PS3 must play 1080i, the stream stutter.

Cu.

[n0mag!c]

it works CORRECT! Muxed 2 movies today and both are in sync!

the movies were 1080p 23.976fps MPEG-2?
Do you watching movies on PC? 'cause it's a little bit hard to see muxing bug on PC. but when watching movie on TV with enabled feature like philips' DNM (digital natural motion) then the bug is obvious - playback stutters.
I use "tsremux" and burn AVCHD disks then watch it on PS3. when I don't use "tsmuxer" and use original TS stream captured from digital tuner or M2TS from bluray, then movies plays correct. Also movies with H.264 video (VC-1 I didn't test yet) plays correct after beeing muxed with "tsmuxer".
Hope Roman fix this problem, or maybe author of "tsremux" will add correct support for .mkv files. And then I can use "mkvmerge" instead of "tsmuxer".
