I am still hoping our problem does not lie in Tsmuxer, because that would make the guide not that useful becuase not everybody has scenarist. I am goning to do more testing here.
By the way did you get scenarist to work under Vista? If yes how? I always have to load up an XP Pro system to use it and I don't like that too much.

VMware Virtual machine is great for this. It's great running a virtual windows xp for programs vista can't run properly.

wait, so even if it works on PC, it might not work on stand-alone player? why is that?

Yes, PCs never had a problem with the conversions. It was only when we tried the set top players we noticed the slowdown.

do all players have this problem? or just first gen?

[DonCarlos]

The PS 3 has problems but glen may have found a solution I till check that on sunday if it works.

Is it possible to install something on the VMware Virtual machine?

vc1conv has been updated to version 0.3

http://www.w6rz.net/vc1conv.zip

Changes for 0.3

1) Removed dependency on POSTPROCFLAG being equal to zero.
2) Removed setting of POSTPROCFLAG and adding POSTPROC bits.
3) Made bitrate display accurate.
4) Put frame count back in, and added running time.

I also fixed the last frame issue, but only if there is an End-of-Sequence code at the end of the stream. If there is no End-of-Sequence code at the end of the stream, then vc1conv deletes the last frame whether it's complete or not (it can't tell if the last frame is complete without parsing the entire frame).

Glen.... I have a bit of problem i have renamed my audio stream to .dd+ (as thats what it is, and the movie is Thransformers btw)

But when i do step 3 in dos eac2to gives this error: source file c:\videos\audio.dd" not found.. but the paths are right be cause thats where it is..

Heres the commandline i ran

c:\hdtools\eac3to.exe c:\videos\audio.dd+" "c:\videos\audio.ac3" -nero -640

ive tried the gui version but it doesent work either

EDIT

It works if i choose libav -640.... But not if i choose nero or sonic also i have to rename the file to .eac3 and not what is said in ur guide ie dd+

Any Ideas why??
thanks

Frankly Speaking - I do not know what all that means, but

I have remuxed the movie that had a 'stutter' disturbance at about 31 min for around 10 sec ; I ran it through vc1conv 0.3 first.

As far as I can tell, it runs absolutely smoothly now.

Thank you very much !

Sorry Sorry Sorry !

Problem is still there, just at 29 min (i.e. 2 min earlier).

If anybody has any suggestion how to avoid this, please help !

Thanks

Sorry I thought I had updated the guide. You need to rename it to .ddp rather than .dd+

[musicman2311]

to whom it may concern - I am embarrassed but happy to report that my recently reported issues stem from a scratched disc. I exchanged the disc (BD-RE) and the very same movie play absolutely fine on PS3.

Thanks again to the authors of h264info and vc1conv.

It is good to hear that it works fine for you now. How did you mux? With Scenarist or Tsmuxer?
At the moment I am testing the way glen told us.

[eyekyu]

if someone can point me into the right direction that would be great.

when i go to play the bd-rw in my ps3 im gettin audio but no video. my source is an mkv file

[burro08]

You need Nero HD-DVD / Blu-Ray plugin aswell as nero 7.

[glen8]

If you haven't got the Nero HD-DVD / Blu-Ray Plugin and can't afford it change the -nero to -libav
