Guide to convert BD 3D to 3D Left+Right Stereoscopic and Anaglyph

[crl2007]

I don't know any method that doesn't require too much time to analyze. But given the fact that you have to demux the h264 streams, I think that eac3to is the best solution.

XXXXX is the total frames

Why use ldecod_mod.exe ?
ldecod.exe with pipe works well have you heard of RawSource.dll ?
ssifSource.dll is on the same basis as RawSource.dll

Ok. We are for the FREE soft!

I'm not quite good in decoding algorithm to make it parallel. Moreover, we don't have source code of ldecod alexpk's mod, that uses only one thread for decoding.

No, StereoScopic player uses DirectShow version of CoreAVC codec, but this codec does not register itself in the system to allow use it in any program.

I have this error log:

Have you idea for fix it ?

I use that command line and it works fine for me:

x264.exe --crf 17 --preset slower --fps 24000/1001 test.avs --output result.mkv

Note that ConvertToRGB is not necessary for convertion, ssifSource output is 25fps I420 video.

P.S. Also you can make anaglyph video with this plugin.

ldecod_mod.exe is alexpk's modification of the reference decoder (Your ldecod.exe). And ldecod.exe is that reference decoder.
the first one is used to decode right view and the second - for the left one. That way I get two views.

yes, I know. Comparing with your solution that version also uses pipes for eac3to output and it is an AviSynth plugin

Yes, but it does not support pipes.

No, but it is also an AviSynth plugin.

I suggest to add an option to place the two views side by side instead of stacked vertically. That will simplify and speed up the avs script to do a side by side conversion.

The vertical stack performs faster that horizontal because of faster memory operations.
Hope, I'll have much time to add that functionality.

[frencher]

There is a version that supports compiled RawSource.dll pipes but has some problems but the process of pipe work

I know that, but the solution uploaded by slavanap doesn't require to demux the streams first. It works well by directly reading the ssif file from an unprotected BD or mounted ISO. Having to demux just to know the number of frames is a pity!

[frencher]

@r0lZ
x264 without --frame XXXXX works fine by cons it does not display the remaining time

@slavanap
I have an idea
I authorized you to modify your ssifSource.dll ?

[r0lZ]

Good to know. Thanks.

BTW, do you know if specifying a number of frames somewhat greater than the real number of frames works well? If it's the case, it is easy to evaluate the number of frames by multiplying the duration of the movie (as displayed by any player) with the fps, and add some seconds, just to be sure. That way, it should be possible to display the remaining time. But will x264 stop correctly at the end of the encoding process?

Also, I have a multi-angle BD that requires to join several files together to encode the whole movie. It's easy to do it in the avs script, but will it correctly join the different parts if the number of frames is not specified, or is too large? Or perhaps there is a way to open a playlist (containing all the parts in the correct order) instead of several ssif files?

There is a solution for that, you may get number of frames from .m2ts file referenced to the .ssif file. Like that:

frames = DirectShowSource("e:\BDMV\STREAM\00005.m2ts").framecount

LoadPlugin("ssifSource.dll")
# Usage: ssifSource(ssif-filename, width, height, frameCount)
src = ssifSource("e:\BDMV\STREAM\SSIF\00005.ssif", 1920, 1080, frames-24)
return src

P.S. don't forget to add --fps parameter to x264 option, because ssifSource always provides 25fps video.

Why use SSIF or M2TS file ?
eac3to works fine with playlist mpls

Download => eac3to with mpls playlist to Side By Side

hm... what kind of modification do you want?

For me ldecod_mod.exe is not necessary

[frencher]

Here's a version that works with RawSource.dll pipe

Download => AVC+MVC.264 ldecodp to x264_x86 SBS with pipe.rar

It should be possible to achieve the same result with ssifSource.dll ?

Hum, I have NEVER been able to retrieve the correct number of frames with DirectShowSource. It seems that DirectShowSource can only return the estimated number of frames, at least with an AVC source. (It's why I have always used DGAVCIndex or eac3to, but it would be nice to read it directly from the BD disc or ISO.)

If you use a SSIF or m2ts tracks will

1: h264/AVC  (left eye), 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)
2: h264/AVC (right eye), 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)

If you use a mpls tracks will

1: Chapters, 24 chapters
2: h264/AVC  (left eye), 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9) => 00001.m2ts+00002.m2ts etc.....
3: h264/AVC (right eye), 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9) => same ...

Track (1 chapters) shifts the video track

[r0lZ]

You have been faster than me! I have deleted my previous post, after I have realized what chapters.dll can do and where to find it. Thanks anyway.

So, to summarize, it should be possible to open a mpls and encode it directly, without having to specify the number of frames in the avs script or in the x264 command. And opening the mpls ensures that a multi-angle movie is processed completely. Right?

(Sorry if my questions are stupid. I'm totally new to BD, and especially to 3D conversions. As you know, my center of interest is mainly the DVD IFOs, and I have bought my first BD player two weeks ago.)

[frencher]

@r0lZ
Here is 2 years I'm looking for and turns in every sense a fast and free to make a 3D conversion.
If you do a demux the audio track you have the total number of images.
If you do not I do not see the interest to watch a video without audio.
Hmmmm, you like "The Artist"
The question is not stupid at all the contrary
For best result just change mpls into avs script and total frames into x264 command

@slavanap
Excuse me, your version with ldecod_mod.exe is the best right now if I can help I remain available

[r0lZ]

Good point. But if you do a mkv, it is sufficient to load the m2ts in mkvmerge, replace the video with your new h264 file, suppress the stream you don't need, and mux. No real need to demux the audio.
However, I agree that this procedure doesn't work with complex titles in a mpls file. As far as I know, in that case, the audio must be extracted, because mkvmerge cannot handle mpls or ssif files.

Here can work like that for the mkv.
It should still prefer mpls for complex files rather than m2ts or SSIF

[frencher]

Here I tried on a complex mpls I post the eac3to log and the result of CMD
I think ldecod lose the thread when eac3to to complete as it completes its function there you have it way to fix this problem slavanap ?
