I´ll try to find a way for me to get directshow stuff (ffdshow, haali media splitter) run under crossover/wine and mac os x environment. But I am not so hopefull.
Never ever would I recommend to use parallels or vmfusion as those need to have an installed windows. Good news for mac users by the way: tsMuxerGui is now available in a native version for mac os x. But of course I will continue to build menu based BDMV´s using multiAVCHD. Last edited by kenguru2005; 18th March 2009 at 14:50. |

That's why I added it as option, so MacOS users (and those who don't have codecs/splitters) can continue using it with mplayer. It is half a solution, but in fact works great.
Thumbnail images are generated within +/- 3 seconds of the chapter jump point (5min) which is much better than mplayer + its crashing. *** About the splitter - I'm not really sure if it is needed for framecapture, so AVC/VC1/MPEG2 decoder should suffice if you're not planning to watch these m2ts files using directshow. The steps for generating thumbnails are: AviSynth script using Directshow source M2TS file (audio disabled) with ImageWriter and x264 to execute the script. Without the audio you may not need a splitter... I'm not really sure, though. This extracts 5 thumbnails to use the 5th one with XMB: Code:
directshowsource( M2TSFILE, audio=false, fps=XMBmtsFPS(M2TSFILE) ).trim( STARTFRAME , STARTFRAME+5 ).ConvertToRGB24() ImageWriter(DEST_PATH, 1, 5, "jpg") ConvertToYV12() About tsmuxerGUI for macOS... you still can't use it for MOV files, right? Last edited by deank; 18th March 2009 at 15:35. |

But of course: your programm is much better ... I love it and use it ... but I think I´ll do it without xmb (as wrong thumbs could confuse people). ... mmh ... ok .... what AVC/VC1/MPEG2 decoder are recommanded? I would to some tests. Last edited by kenguru2005; 18th March 2009 at 16:46. |

I've just tested the last version 467 with Directshow option, It works fine without error box message.
Thank you this issue. I'm waiting now your add support for external/built-in chapter thumbail in xmb menu (if I understand well) :-) |

hey deank, is there a program that will allow me to shrink a large m2ts file to mkv x264, which is smaller in size, but no loss in video quality, so i can use multiavchd to make a multiple title disk. I noticed some downloaded mkv files didnt work with your program, they werent compliant. Your program is the next "thing", i wish i could help you in your builds and i will donate

You can use other programs as mkv2vob or RipBot264 to reencode your files to compliant version. I have no idea. If you install it and try to play a m2ts file does ffdshow engage? What options did you use while installing it? |

i tried to play a m2ts file with media player classic under crossover after I installed ffdshow (activated all options during installation progress). It played in a very stuttering way, but it did play.

Do you see FFDSHOW icon appear? I really can't help with this as I don't have MacOS installed.
Can you try this: paste this into x264-test.cmd and replace path_to_x264 with your real path Code:
"C:\path_to_x264\x264.exe" --bitrate 14000 --keyint 24 --min-keyint 1 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --weightb --subme 5 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 30000 --qcomp 0.5 --merange 12 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --mvrange 511 --aud --sar 1:1 --output %1.264 %1 pause Code:
directshowsource( "c:\your_mts_file.m2ts", audio=false, fps=23.976 ).trim( 1, 5 ).ConvertToRGB24() ImageWriter("c:\", 1, 5, "jpg") ConvertToYV12() Last edited by deank; 18th March 2009 at 19:45. |

Just done another film, using customised 'jump points', with 7 scenes, but multiAVCHD still created 12 'chapters' (thumbnails)! The last 5 are useless(ie. nothing happens when selected) Does it always create 12, or am I missing something?
Cheers, Dave. ps. tried both directshow and the standard way! |

It was not implemented, yet. If you took time to browse the last pages of the thread you would have known that.
*** Build 468: * External/embedded chapters are used for chapter thumbnails in XMB style menu I did some tests with ts/mkv/m2ts files... Please let me know if something is wrong. You will see information in the progress bar about current chaptermark used while generating menu. |

I've tested build 468, works fine with external chapter and chapter thumbails creation in xmb menu.
Thank ! I've a suggestion for menu button : You use a "arrow" graphic button in your menu, It is avialable to use a frame surrounded the picture title (same thing for thumbail chapter) ? It for a cosmetic better presentation, because arrows are not very easy displayed (specially in chapter selection = to small size). And just a remark about button in the selection chapter, when I test with PowerDVD, if a use the arrows key on keyboard, the navigation buttons are OK. (like remote control with standalone player) But if I use the mouse for selection button (in chapter thumbail element), I saw more arrows buttons than chapter thumbails created. I try to explain : With 4 chapters jump creation (4 thumbails created correctly on one line), with keyboard When I go to down of th line chapter, I return on title selection (OK). But if I use the mouse, I can see another arrow button to point on nothing (blank thumabil without link navigation). You what I try explain ? |

I got an email few days ago with the same questions.
No, at this point I can't implement any other type of navigation. About the mouse - I know - it is been this way since the beginning and it affects all types of menus (classic/thumbnail/xmb). multiAVCHD is primarily to be used in hardware players and there you can't use a mouse and everything is fine. If I find some more time I may try to take care of it. *** I was under the wrong impression that tsmuxer supports only HH:MM:SS format for chapters. So in build 469 you can use either HH:MM:SS or HH:MM:SS.MLS (milliseconds) You chapter files may contain either format, but NOT MIXED. Last edited by deank; 19th March 2009 at 11:21. |

Wow ... when using external/embedded chapters even under crossover/mac thumbnails in XMB menu are accurate (+/- 1 sec). But you have to integrate 00:00:00 as first chapter in your txt. I used for example in my 1:14 HDV clip: 00:00:00;00:00:10;00:00:25;00:00:40;00:01:02 ... and mplayer does a nearly perfect job.
Perhaps some people confirm this by using external chapter an disabling directshow option .... Last edited by kenguru2005; 19th March 2009 at 13:07. |
