Popup menu won't work after replacing stream

[frankp]

Hi all,

I've been working on a home made blu ray in Encore. But because Encore encodes audio en video i want to replace the streams in the final output with the original streams (VC1 and HD audio).

All is working perfect after replacing the m2ts, mpls and cpli file. Menu is working, playlists are working, but i can't seem to get the popup menu to work.

I tried different options i found on this forum, like not replacing the cpli, not replacing the mpls, replacing all the entries in the cpli and mpls in a hexeditor, but all seems to fail playback or fail launching the popup menu.

Can anyone help me out with this problem?

I don't know how Encore works, but if it's muxing the PopUp menu _into_ the stream of the feature video (an option in Blu-ray), you are removing it when you replace the M2TS file..

I do this all the time with projects where I know the PopUp is a separate M2TS file, and never had a problem with it (I'll replace the feature M2TS, CPLI and MPLS files). So that's the only thing I can think of...

Yeah, if it's in-mux, the feature gets removed when you replace the m2ts.

Any idea how i can check if Encore uses the in-mux popupmenu?

I made a simple setup in Encore with just 1 stream and a popup menu. Encore outputs 2 m2ts files where one is the actual movie.
So it looks like Encore uses out-mux for the popup menu.
It's also pointed out in the mpls file where there's mentioned a path to 00001.m2ts, where the main movie is file 00000.m2ts

If the feature is out-of-mux, then you have to keep the original mpls and edit it with BDEdit to accomodate the new IN_OUT times and the streams you changed. You can follow the guide here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=150511). The BDEdit section is at the end.

Yeah, sorry, ignore my comment about doing it myself... It's a Java menu that I'm using when I do that... Totally spaced on that one. :rolleyes:

The MPLS file will be making a reference to the PopUp M2TS, so that needs to be retained. The guide mentioned above should help.

Thanks guys.

After some trial and error i managed to get the popup menu to work correctly.
I've used the mentioned guide before, but it didn't work correctly.
I found out that the only file which needs to be replaced is the stream i want to replace (and not the clpi). After that i edited the clpi and mpls in BDedit and that worked.

Again, thanks for the help!

Yeah, sorry, I forgot to tell you that you have to keep the original clpi too and edit it with BDEdit. The guide referenced was just for you to start with BDEdit.

It seems like i need a little more help.
In a test setup it worked like this: replace the stream, in BDedit change the out-time of the mpls and change the video and audio settings and apply to the clpi.
The new stream would play and the popup menu worked.

In my main project i did the same, but video isn't playing at all.
These are the editted setting in BDedit:
