Build 725+

* Option to [x] Use long GOP if possible in "Transcode" window (useful for bitrates <14500kbps)
* Imported chapters from MKV files now have milliseconds (00:00:00.000)

* Fixes for "Re-author" mode:
* if a playlist/feature is transcoded, new codec/resolution/framerate are properly applied to all playlists, which use/link to m2ts file from the transcoded playlist
* playlist flags are properly set for remuxed/transcoded playlists

Hi Dean
When you say
Quote:
Re-author mode does not require x264 or transcoding
its valid only for blu-ray write ?, but when i put them for generation a avchd for playing in my oppo, if the movie have a resolution like 1920 x 800, they will play fine ? I sorry if i have been stupid, but i dont understand how this is possible, if i generate a avchd using a mkv file (1920x800) they will not be played.
I sorry for my bad english.
Clayton
About the email you sent me, suggesting aviaddxsub, i try and work fine in my oppo, but the center the subtitle in my oppo was 650 with resolution (1280x720 for subititles) and movie 1920x1080

If you use this resolution (1920.800), it's not a file taken directly from a Blu-Ray, thus it's not a re-author mode in this case.

@claymic: Blu-ray disc re-author mode is to be used with original blu-ray rips from your HDD.

***

Build 726:

* Fix for re-author mode: audio and subtitle (PGS) order is now properly set in the playlist files when titles are remuxed/transcoded. This improves/fixes original Blu-ray disc menu functionality for subtitles/audio selection/change.

Thanks to crl2007 for the tests.

And again about the video/animated menu in multiAVCHD. Here is a preview of a real (40 seconds) auto-generated trailer-like motion menu while using Ghost Rider full-movie backup:



(click to download video-menu m2ts file 9MB)


Options like saturation, contrast and brightness will be available + option to animate chapter thumbnails and title thumbnail. It takes about 3 to 5 minutes on a relatively fast machine to generate 30-40 seconds of 1920x1080i@29.97fps motion menu, so it is not that bad. Option to get motion will have XMB, Slide and Carousel menu styles.

Great
But,why the menu generated is at 1080i@29,97fps and not 1080p@23,97fps ?
It is a specific limitation ?
If I create a H264 video for menu (in external video editor), the encoding step is optional ?

Latest small update:

* User can add external subtitles for audio titles (audioBD / audioAVCHD)
* Blanking in re-author mode is re-written to use black video and not to cut the original m2ts files

You mean that for a BD-AUDIO we could have, for example, the title of the song that appears as a subtitle or the lyrics that appears during a song ?

Yes. Until now multiAVCHD would generate automatically subtitles if there was a .cue file attached with song names or other information.

Now users can use their own subtitles (be it song titles or lyrics or anything). Auto-generated subtitle is added as a last track. Since all subtitle formats are supported, one can generate karaoke styled subtitles (from ssa/ass)... or use SUP subtitles generated with easySUP...

1080i is both compatible with FullHD and HD-Ready equipment without the need for downcoverting the signal. Menu navigation is encoded in 60i so I guess it will be a requirement to have video either in 1080p@29.970 or 1080i@59.94...

If you create .m2ts file in another application within these constraints - it won't be necessary to reencode it.

BBC Problem with multiAVCHD

Hi Dean

I have a big problem, I have "Yellowstone" blu ray, its a BBC doucu. Strangley, its 1920 1080 interlaced at 29.97 (59.94) strange for UK market anyway and when shown on UK tv was of course 1920 1080 i 25 (50).

The problem I have is this. If I say make a 5 second test portion and use multiAVCHD to trasncode it (2 pass HQ) then pass 1 lasts forever. It has not crashed, I have disc action and CPU fan (laptop) is running hard, so its doing something.
If I use BD Rebuilder then no problem.

Could it be something to do with the fact its interlaced material, ???

Unfortunatley I cant email you even this test portion as its too large (16meg) for my email to allow.

You can enable [x] Show spawned tools and run it again.

I got the same problems 2 days ago with an encode. x264 would just sit at 10% and will do nothing... no crash no progress...

Hi Dean

What is [x] Show spawned tools

How do I run it, and what do I do with it. Is it a debugging tool or a fixer.

By the way, forgot to say, this happens every time I try this particular BD. I suppose BD Rebuilder is using different x264

Thanks in advance Dean

It is an option in SETTINGS tab. Enable it and you will see x264 window while it is encoding, so you'll know what is going on.

A small addition to XMB menu, suggested by Capsbackup:

Option to stack chapter thumbnails horizontally. Here is what happens with values of -1150 / 890 for chapters offset and 47 / -30 for main title offset and the new option in Menu/XMB [x] Stack thumbs horizontally...





The 12th chapter goes a bit off-screen, but it is not that bad.

For one-title projects values of -395 / 300 for main title offset will produce:



Also in build 727 - fixed few things for re-author mode and for saved projects.

Just a suggestion :

If you create the chapter thumbnails between the 2sd chapter (the 1st at 00:00:00 is not needed), you can obtain 11 chapter thumbnails without last thumbnail cropped ?

Yes, you can and it will look better. It will also keep you away from overscan problems. There is a LINK button to select which chapter to appear as thumbnail and you can remove the 12th, then you will get 11 chapter thumbs of your choice.

Or I can try to reduce thumbs width by 2 pixels and the 12th will fit in

Ok.. now all 12 chapters fit... You may need to update manually with multiUPDATE.exe if not prompted.



Recommended values for multi-titled menu:

XMB thumbnails offset: -1150 / 880
XMB main title offset: -7 / -50

Thank you very much deank, another nice addition.
Not trying to stretch my luck, but is it possible to have the title thumbnails display horizontal at the top or bottom of the screen if the user selects not to display the chapter thumbnails?
On my brief testing, I was able to move the title thumbnails to the left or right of center screen, but the title thumbnails still scroll vertically. Of course I had to disable chapter thumbnails since they were off the screen anyway. Basically, to look like your chapter thumbnails picture only the larger size title thumbnail size.
Example Picture:

It is already implemented in Slide and Carousel menu styles. There is no option to move them up or down, but it is exactly what you seem to need.
