You can see how many audio streams are present by looking at the PID dump at the end of processing.

packets for pid    0 <0x0000> = 380, first = 1, last = 542119
packets for pid   31 <0x001f> = 40, first = 3229, last = 538182
packets for pid  256 <0x0100> = 380, first = 2, last = 542120
packets for pid 4097 <0x1001> = 397, first = 349, last = 543332
packets for pid 4113 <0x1011> = 418997, first = 26, last = 545111
packets for pid 4352 <0x1100> = 90865, first = 3, last = 545102
packets for pid 4353 <0x1101> = 11160, first = 293, last = 544521
packets for pid 4354 <0x1102> = 11160, first = 296, last = 544524
packets for pid 4355 <0x1103> = 5569, first = 298, last = 544742
packets for pid 4356 <0x1104> = 5569, first = 301, last = 544743
packets for pid 4608 <0x1200> = 594, first = 13959, last = 535168

Audio PID's start at 0x1100 and are numbered sequentially. This stream has five audio tracks (the first one is DTS-HD). To demux the other tracks, use:

xport -h movie.m2ts 1 1 2
or
xport -h movie.m2ts 1 1 3
or
xport -h movie.m2ts 1 1 4
or
xport -h movie.m2ts 1 1 5

unfortunately, for stargate dts this does not work, track has more 4 hours after demuxing. And Xmuxer does not even see 3 aduio tracks, it shows me only 2 of them (DD5.1 and DD2.0). Anyone made any progress with this?

If xport is not working, try TSreader. It reads 192 byte BDMV streams and will demux any PID or all PIDs. I have successfully demuxed dts using both tools now. Be aware that TSReader just does a simple demux of a PID with no further parsing; many of the tools will not accept the demuxed video PID directly, presumably because there is PCR data still embedded on that PID (Drmpeg correct me if I'm wrong).

I have confirmed that xport outputs a 'pure' VC-1 elementary stream that can be fed into the Sonic Video Decoder in the same way as with the demuxed streams from EVOs.

Wow, my head is swirling from the info here. What an amazing thread. Learning a lot.

I was wondering. It looks like to get the frame count, you have to demux in EVOdemux. Is it possible to get the frame count during a rebuild?

Uncheck the 'Fast EVO checking' and you'll get the frame numbers after 'Read EVO'.

@Pelican9

Do you have any plans making the source code of your extensions to drmpeg's evob_demux (which has sources included) public? If not, do you have plans integrating a command-line interface to your app so that it can be called from other GUI apps, instead of having those developers re-implement the same work that you already did?

Wow, I feel like an idiot. Thank you.

I can send the source to you if you want.
It will be public, but it need some improving (comments, etc.)

Please, do not hesitate to bother Elecard's technical support with questions like - "why your XMuxer do not show all 3 audio tracks in my video".
Please, send the problem file (a few megabytes) to our support team and quote my post, it will help our guys to work a bit faster on your request.

All the best,

I’m looking for the perfect solution to backup my HD DVDs (just like everyone else). Quality is very important and I do not want to transcode or alter the video or audio streams in any way.

But since I don’t have unlimited amount of disk space I would like to remove extra material, in-movie experience and foreign soundtracks to preserve storage.

If I edit VPLST000.XPL it’s easy to remove the extra material keeping just the main movie and menu. But the foreign soundtracks and in-movie experience are imbedded in the main EVOB files. Using EVOdemux it’s easy to rebuild the EVOBs with just the streams I would like to keep. The new rebuilt EVOB is playable in PowerDVD it’s just that without the menu it’s not possible to change audio streams or use subtitles. In order to get the menu and that other stuff working I need to keep some of the other files from the HD DVD. Example of how the stripped HD DVD can look:

ADV_OBJ \DISCID.DAT
ADV_OBJ \menu.aca
ADV_OBJ \VPLST000.XPL
HVDVD_TS \HVA00001.VTI
HVDVD_TS \PEVOB_1.EVO
HVDVD_TS \PEVOB_1.MAP
HVDVD_TS \PEVOB_2.EVO
HVDVD_TS \PEVOB_2.MAP

My problem is that the original .MAP files do not match the new rebuilt EVOBs and I believe that is why I’m getting bad playback. If I use the original EVOBs everything works fine just that they are larger then they need to be.

Does anyone have any idea how to create new .MAP files for the rebuilt EVOBs created with EVOdemux?

I would also like to request a feature in EVOdemux. If it was possible to split the output when rebuilding EVOBs into several smaller EVOBs it would be easier to store them on cheaper media like DVD-R for example.


Best regards,
Zgx


PS. Keep up the great work Pelican9 it’s truly appreciated!

I can send the source to you if you want.

Thanks, much appreciated. I sent you a PM.

thanks again pelican

any thoughts on an option to listen to the various audio tracks one by one? just to know what each one is and deselect when re/de muxing

i had the same problem with the blu ray xmen 3 (AVC). xport gave me corrupted video and audio (trying again now with a newer version). xmuxer pro doesnt see the DTS track and also crashes when trying to demux anything - only movie this happens in so far.

update - newer xport worked a treat

1. Use Powerdvd
2. Read the XPL (with EVOdemux...)

[tomos]

at the mo i just demux everything and listen to the tracks to find what i want. just thought it would save some time

Hi Pelican9,
I discovered small bug...while demuxing, when I click to button "cancel", messagebox with question shows up, but when I click "No", anyway a message "Cancelled." is added in main windows with log.... I think this shouldn't be happend...

Second thing, after demuxing HD DVD EVO demux throws this error: "Invalid floating point operation."

Thanks!
I've fixed both.
Download again.

@Pelican9
I can suggest, for a question of readability to put a

"Number of Channels" in the Audio info.

Ex. Number of Channels = 5.1 (LFE)
Ex. Number of Channels = 2.0

etc

[zeroprobe]

anyone else get an error message 'Invalid floating point....' at the end of the demux.

Im just trying hddvd demuxer 1.2 see what happens.

EDIT: oops just read the above with my floating point error.

haali released a new version of the haali demuxxer.
It works with VC-1 now.
http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/ ( enable MPEG-Ts support)
So open our evo with haali and you can decode it with fdshow-tryouts. Works well.
Gonne make some encoding testing etc now.

Edit:
Ok did some quick encoding test.
First off all you have to put it in mkv file mit haali muxxer. Then open it up with mkvmuxgui and create a new mkv with timecode file:

# timecode format v1
assume 23.976

This method was mentioned few pages back ,too
After that you can open it in avisynth with directshowsource. ( if fdshow is setup up correctly)

Did a quick xvid encode and didn't find any duplicate or missing frames.
framecout is a little of to what EVOdemux said.
EVOdemux:
1567 counted frames (0:01:05.357) in video stream 0.
1564 calculated frames.
Xvid: 1559 frames
Don't know whats off there. I couldn't find any missing frames with this sample I had. Will try some other samples sometime today

Of cause the dd+ decoding still has to be solved

[tomos]

tried here. works. the avi and mkv file try to play back using 'WMV9_Advanced_Profile_Decoder' which doesnt work for me. if i change this in graphedit to sonics codec then it plays.

i cant seem to disable the wmv decoder
