Yes, but they will be available as additional titles, because I'll need tsMuxer to convert them to avchd. Is that ok?

I guess so

deank · 4th January 2009, 10:14

I added it. It is done with the same top left button. It is not expected to work on every m2ts/mts/ts but only those with h264+ac3... and it is experimental for now.

@seemoredigital: it is compatible with the MTS files you've sent me to test with couple of weeks ago.

Drag and Drop to MEDIA tab added in build 100... drag&drop to application window in build 101.

Great thanks to the author of the programming tool I'm using (CalcIT) - dhmk.

is there a simple solution for movies that are not exactly 720 or 1080 ?

Second that, isn't there a way to insert black bars WITHOUT re-encoding?

I know this may seem a stupid question, but I've read somewhere (don't remember where) that it was possible with h264 content.

idbirch2 · 5th January 2009, 15:13

I don't think it can be done without re-encoding. I have tried using H264info to crop a few pixels off a 1920x1084 H264 ts file and the resulting output, although detected as 1080, played in the top third of the screen when played on the PS3.

I'm preparing next version multiAVCHD 1.3 / lite:

* option to add or not TOP menu (saving space on media)
* option to add standard (motion) or lite (static) menu
* option to chose video standard for lite menu (PAL/NTSC)
* auto download for missing lite menu files
* 2 versions (full - 115MB with motion menu / lite ~4MB with static menu)
* drag and drop to application (adds only compatible files/foders)

Dean

idbirch2 · 5th January 2009, 15:36

Looking forward to it Dean. With the static menu, will it be easy to customise the text i.e. customise the titles of the tracks on the menu image?

deank · 5th January 2009, 15:38

No. Still a proper mux is needed for video and interactive graphics to create the custom menu.

I'm still reading the ts iso

idbirch2 · 5th January 2009, 16:16

TS ISO, mmm, that'll make some good bedtime reading! What app are you using to create the preset menu? Maybe some of us could get hold of the same software to make our own menus until such time as multiAVCHD allows custom menu creation? Or maybe replacing the menu would cause problems when multiAVCHD expects the preset one?

deank · 5th January 2009, 16:22

At the moment, multiAVCHD expect to see "multiAVCHD" string in index.bdm* (not really required, but that helps avoiding adding menu media again and again if multi-generated folder is used again). Also modification of title numbers and sequental playback in movieobj*.bdm* is set for 20 titles and depends on the original structure.

As I earlier said, I'm using nero vision 5 to create multiavchd menus. I'm doing subtitling/translations/presentations for my company so I'm using my office copy

.

deank · 5th January 2009, 20:03

New version uploaded.. (version 1.3 build 104)

In Authoring menu additional options allow to create:

* motion menu
* static menu
* no menu

If static (lite) menu is chosen - AVCHD will be generated in selected SYSTEM format (PAL/NTSC).

If you chose not to create TOP menu:

* Playback will start from title#1
* Sequental playback will be forced
* Top-menu button *should* point to Title#1

Later I will update first post will full download links for

- PAL full/lite version
- NTSC full/lite version

===

Current NTSC and PAL users should get full functionallity just by updating their multiAVCHD.exe. It should download the newly required media automatically.

Hi Deank,

I have some comments on this tool:

1) This is a wonderful tool, congrats!!! I like to see your effort to make it work for everybody.

2) You really should implement AviSynth with the program. Basically for two reasons, one is that it is a must to be able to change menu names on-the-fly, and then because most people that are using this tool have already AviSynth installed!

3) I had problems with the PAL menu (I have a NTSC ps3) and I just figured it out after wasting 3 BD-Rs and 2 DVD9s... heheh, I was 90% sure that the reason for the failure was the PAL menu, however I couldn't send a post here because of this stupid 5 days without posting rule (After registration)... you can imagine how mad I became

. Now that the problem is solved I suggest you to maintain only the NTSC version, afterwards the PAL ps3 can read that perfect (Danm $$$ony!)

4) I think that you should make an option so that the user can choose between authoring a AVCHD or a BD (i.e. Make BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders)

5) I found a minor BUG: on settings if you change the Destination folder everything goes ok ("/AVCHD/" folder is created after the path). However if you change the Temp folder the program doesnt create "/_TEMP/" after the chosen path.

Thank you very much, keep up the hard work!

I will, as soon as I figure out how to make custom menu.

There is NTSC download link in first post. Sorry you've missed it.

multiAVCH button creates AVCHD structure and multiBD creates BD structure.

I'll check this. I have _TEMP always created.

'Cause 24p is a blu-ray standard, while 25p is not.
P.S. I'm owner of EU PS3.

I'm getting this error when opening multiAVCHD on vista premium 32 bit

= CDragDrop: DragAcceptFiles: (RT) Access violation at address 016EDE88. Write of address 016EDE88 - Line 13

This didn't happen until after build 88. Any ideas?

deank · 5th January 2009, 22:20

Yes, I added drag-and-drop by your request

and the one that has problems is you

No problems with WinXP and VistaUltimate.

I can PM a version without drag/drop functionality.

edit: Do you get this error only when dropping LARGE files?

turbojet · 5th January 2009, 22:23

Er it was vista ultimate 32 bit, not premium.
Bummer that's something that I'd really appreciate too.
I'd be willing to try without drag and drop version but do you have any idea why it gives that error for me?

I've done a fresh install of ntsc full and lite versions so far.

turbojet · 5th January 2009, 22:32

Ya that works but it goes to update right away giving me a version that doesn't work, eek.
