Select Bluray output.

When I have files with 2.0 AAC audio, in ripbot I can't see the convert option to AC3 2.0...
6 channel (5.1) is OK: AAC 5.1 to AC3 5.1 works.

There is a Headline offset setting that allows you to move it down. There is a footer offset setting... it doesn't work but i'll fix it.

I have 2006 philips which shows full pixel.. no overscan... also 2008 panasonic... both show all 1920x1080 information.

The overscan could also depend on player in use.

Atak_Snajpera,
From what I understand, most (if not all) U.S. TVs (pre 2007) have overscan and didn't allow calibrating to a true 1-to-1 1920 x 1080 pixel match. (I'm not sure about elsewhere). The TV companies got lots of complaints because this is an issue with gaming, as a few games have critical data on the edge of the screen that couldn't be seen. Samsung came out with a firmware upgrade for my LNS4096D TV to reduce to overscan for that TV, but it only works on certain boards and some people have ruined their TVs trying the upgrade...mine is an older board that it didn't work on. My other three older Sharp 720p LCD TVs also have overscan. I think most TVs today allow options that don't have overscan. It's painful to see how much video I actually lose on the edges (somewhere between 3-5%), and I need to remind myself of that when I'm recording to allow extra space on the perimeter.
So, that is the reason why creating a menu that supports overscan is helpful. It seemed like Carousel could support overscan, as there is more space on the top and bottom of the menu to move the text away from the perimeter, so that's why I asked, as opposed to messing up a perfectly good XMB menu implementation that works great for people to don't have overscan issues.

I can't see the AC3 convert option, or do it was wrong?

Is it possible to use custom thumbs, and have them manually positioned?

What happens if you select blu-ray disc? multiavchd can import bluray structure as well.

No - sorry.

I think I can implement overscan option (with 0-10% values). I just need to do some testing to rearrange navigation placeholders. I already implemented menu generation - it's just that nav-arrows need to be repositioned.

And I'll try with Slide menu, too.

Dean,
Thanks for pointing out the header offset. From what I have seen, the offset only works for the straight custom menu and the thumbnail menu (XMB must ignore it). This does help those menus, as the offset of 1 prevents the Title from being clipped because of overscan, although the Title is then covered up by the top two thumbnails on the Thumbnail menu. The straight custom menu works just fine for my purposes, so that's what I'll use to get the Title subtitles on the menu. Thanks!

No.. It's just that in XMB title offset is in pixels and in other 2 is in LINES... I'll fix that two these days.

So to move title in XMB you need a value of 50-100 - not 1. I'll fix the footer too and both values will be in pixels.

You can also change TITLE font and size to avoid overlapping.

Dean,
Pixels offset would be great for dialing in an offset...I just couldn't input anything higher than 9. (Might just be boundary logic from the line offset filter that's getting in the way). Thank you, as always, for making this app!

hey Dean! great job on the app...wanted to know if you can add subs to a avchd movie...i mean, not to the mkv, but to the avchd folder when you add it to multiAVCHD...and was wondering why when i create an AVCHD and the movie is 2.35:1 ratio with a resolution of 1280x544, the ps3 changes the resolution to 480p instead of 720p...thanks for your help

You are right. I'll change the length of the box.

It is fixed in build 461 for all menu types. Offset is now in pixels (x & y).

Yes, you can drag the folder to multiAVCHD - it will detect it. Enable [x] Edit AVCHD on loadinig in Settings and you can reorder/delete titles on load. If you use AVCHD folders as input - don't use up/down/del buttons in media TAB.

If your AVCHD input folder contains only one title and the title is contained in only one m2ts file - you can add this (00000.mts) file to the compilation from the original AVCHD (and use 00000.srt subtitles).

Also about non-compliant files - read the tutorial and check this link!

What does 'thumbs' button do? Show all clip thumbnails but in different view - as 2 menu types in one? One slider (cover flow) and one table-view?

It looks a bit complicated but doable. I just have to check how many buttons one can put in a single menu page, because I think 15 is the top but I hope I'm wrong.

I really like the idea!

The second view would be useful if you want to quickly select specific clip without having to browse them in 'cover flow' mode

I can create command line tool which would automatically create each page. So your job would be to just import specific .bmp in your app.

The problem is not creating the menu images, but setting the proper navigation in the m2ts files.

And if there is a program that can extract frames from m2ts files at the exact second - it will be great... mplayer gives me headache already.

Could you explain me how your app creates AVCHD menus? I always fought that each page is just a separate .m2ts (single frame)

It can be achived using DGAVCDec + ImageWriter (avisynth function)

1) index .m2ts with DGAVCDec
2) add to script # Write frame 5 to "C:\000005.PNG"
ImageWriter("C:\", 5, 5, "png") //More info in AviSynth Documentation

3) save script extract_frame.avs
4) execute script using avs2avi (avs2avi.exe extract_frame.avs -c null -o n)
