Yes, from what I gathered AVCHD doesn't really support DTS but my BD370 Bluray player can playback DTS with no problem maybe the engineers from LG used the same technique to allow playback of DTS Core...BUT its still quite tricky as 3 out of 10 of my clips encoded in DTS Core and one in DTS-HD MA track didn't work well...and cause the picture to stutter.

Sighz...I guess this is a limitation for using AVCHD.

Then the player will auto start from title#1.. play all titles and at the end will show the menu. Or you're asking for something else?

LoL...I think you're not getting what I'm driving at here...I'm referring to the playback of certain titles (perhaps the first few titles in the list) for autoplay once the disc is loaded. Yes I agreed that Skip Top Menu allows us to play the clip directly but it plays the whole playlist unless I hit the Menu button on the remote...

What I'm looking for is what I will called a preview screening of trailers (something along this line) - which have been implemented by many of the DVD Authoring tools in the past.

Hope its clearer now? Any way this is not a priority - just some value added feature which you can consider implementing it along the way.

Cheers!~

No wonder...sometimes when I checked the Use eac3to option when needed to enable DTS HD MA or Dolby TrueHD tracks to be encoded into 640kbps (AC3 Core) - no track was generated.

Hope future release can make it work like a charm ;D

[deank]

I did a lot of tests and HD audio is converted to AC3. If you have sample to send - I'll test it.

Some concept arts for impending release

[deank]

It looks nice. I don't know what is the purpose of these presentation discs and I hope you've read what is in the 'about' box.

[desray]

Dun worry - its for my personal consumption and test my Home Theater equipment and calibrating purpose. Its not for sale - so do I need to write you a formal email to request for permission based on the About portion.

Too bad I'm no designer and I'm stuck with some stupid looking backgrounds and it is a pleasure to see how people use multiAVCHD. Also you may drop a note somewhere in your blog that you're using multiAVCHD for your production.

Sure thing...no problem. In fact I will pass on the message of how great this little program does Cheers!~ Keep up the good work back home.

Is there any banner, emblem or icon that you can provide me to put on my blog?

[deank]

No - I never actually had time to design my own ICON for the application not to say about banners.

(also - you can edit your posts instead of posting few one after another )

Oops...sorry.

@deank

Does the bluray output for multiAVCHD now match the "new" tsmuxer bluray output? or is it different?

[deank]

It doesn't affect multiAVCHD, because of the 'authoring' part in multiAVCHD. You should not worry about it.

And multiBD is not 'really' a bluray output - it has always been avchd but for optical media.

That is more precisely what I was wondering about...

Should there be a true bluray output? Is there a reason there isn't such an output? I'm just wondering about future compatibility, etc.

I assumed it wasn't a real bluray output, because of the need to remove AUXDATA and CERTIFICATE directories for playback in certain players.

[deank]

Well the name "multiAVCHD" was picked because of the AVCHD output type. It was never a problem to add a true blu-ray output button and I may add one. I just fear that it will bring much confusion among users.

There is a [x] Stricter avchd folder mode option in multiAVCHD and if users use it - there's no need to manually remove these folders.

[desray]

Hi deank, if you can, please do add a button for the TRUE Bluray output as I will be getting a Bluray ReWriter pretty soon and will like to try that out. Thanks!

It would be great! Thanks.

[deank]

Blu-ray output is added now in build 517. Enjoy.



DTS to AC3 will be added tomorrow or next week.

Hi,

I just got two errors in processing mkvs. I'll report them separately, but first, the issue I see is that the resulting menu is erroneous. It contains all items that I wanted to include but the stream folder includes only the files that were processed without errors. Therefore I have to rename entries and delete extra entries...

The solution seam simple: the menu should include only tracks that were processed without errors.

THX, G
