hi;
how to avoid converting true-hd tracking and keeping track infos?

deank · 5th February 2009, 14:17

By not checking the option in settings.

Probably after remuxing truehd will stutter.

fsnavi · 5th February 2009, 14:46

I stepped over a small problem with titles when selecting custom menu:

Adding files to a new creation, the shown titles are the names of the added files.

Adding folders to a new creation, the shown titles are the names of those folders, which contain the BDMV folder.

Unfortunately, a lot of programs - including the SW to move my camcorder videos from the SD card to HD - create (and request) a different, more complex structure, like:
'name of the creation\Private\AVCHDL\BDMV'. Selecting such a folder to be added, its title will always be AVCHDL. Changing the name of the AVCHDL-folder makes this folder unaccessable for other programs.

FSNAVI

deank · 5th February 2009, 14:57

In the next few weeks I will make possible to edit title names in media tab before processing.

So if you add 5 AVCHDL folders you will be able to change their DISPLAY names to be used in the menu.

I worked a bit on this few weeks ago, but making custom menu working took my whole time.

Now I have time to continue and will add this option.

I on the way to download and test .... perfect

openBA · 5th February 2009, 17:52

Hi Dean,

build 319 works now great on both Samsung BD-R1500 and PS-3. Only difference is, that Samsung doesn't show the title page - 01400.m2ts , but straight menu page - 01401.m2ts (not a big problem at all). On both SAP's are working both cursor and direct title selections.

There is another glitch noted on Samsung, because the aspect ratio of the clpi (of the corrected NC title) is wrong, Samsung seems to use it and shows title with the wrong aspect ratio.

p.e. MediaInfo of mkv file:
Width : 1 280 pixels
Height : 528 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 2.424

BDedit info of generated clpi: 720p, 23.976, 4:3

Is there any chance to set the correct aspect ratio with multiAVCHD in title's clpi file?

deank · 5th February 2009, 19:22

Probably your Samsung recognizes your disk as one already played and skips "First playback" title.

I read about the aspect ratio solution in another thread. Well, 2.4xxx is not supported but 16:9 should make the clip show properly.

I'll try to add this in next build.

deank · 5th February 2009, 19:58

I just check my code... and this is already implemented for CLPI files. Are you sure you have [x] Apply compliant height for NC MKVs (PS3) in Autoring tab?

Also a small error in my code prevented updating playlist files if only one title is in the current playlist.

Can you update to 322 and try again?

Build 322 will set playlist and clip information to

16:9 if input AR is greater than 1.7(7) and
4:3 if input AR is smaller than 1.7(7).

it was checked!

16/9 instead of 2.41 is quite depressing, because everybody is so slim

Dean, thanks for the link. Just thinking, could someone look at location 109h at the clpi file of the original BD with higher AR as 16/9?

No

you don't. Just a simple .exe update.

16:9 and 4:3 are the only options available in AVCHD and BluRay specs. Simply put - there is no other value to put for different aspect ratios.

In the latest (322) build I tried to correct this so please try and report back.

There is no way to make changes in playlist or clipinfo files and see aspect ratio different than 4:3 or 16:9.

Good and bad news.

Build 322 now correctly set 16/9 AR in clpi files. But it doesn't help my SAP to show correct AR. It shows the same AR as with 4:3 !

It seems, there is/are another settings, which decide about SAP's AR.

Fortunately there is a workaround in my SAP, I have to use "16/9 WIDE" option, and the image is stretched to the whole width of the screen.

deank · 5th February 2009, 21:55

You have one option

Buy yourself a PS3. It handles everything and it costs much less now.

There is no way to get anamorphic AR for NC input videos (be it MKV or MPEG/TS) playing in AVCHD/BD compatible player (except PS3).

As I stated earlier, all ARs not matching 16:9 (square pixel), 4:3 (square pixel) or 4:3 (1 / 0.75 anamorphic) are not supported in AVCHD and BD.

It seems there is a problem with your avisynth/x264:

[01:00:14] Encoding menu pages (x264)...
[01:00:20] Authoring custom menu completed.

I have a fast machine and encoding menu takes about 15-30 seconds. In your case, multiAVCHD goes too fast and performs no encoding.

Pfeffernuss · 6th February 2009, 10:08

Tested it using custom menu on a Pioneer 51fd player. After the intro screen you see the custom menu with the proper filenames.

After a second or so that screen goes away and you see only a "Custom menu xxxxxxxxxx" line. With a selection-arrow though. Which can go down as many times as there are movies on the disc. So while unable to read the filenames it is possible to select the "correct" one.

While playing a movie if you press Menu again you initially see the custom menu screen with all the proper names and boom, gone it is again. Odd!

deank · 6th February 2009, 10:09

Update on version 2.2 (build 325):

No more FULL / LITE downloads.
No more PAL / NTSC downloads.
No more 2D animated top menu.

Build 325 is just 10MB self-extractable 7zip archive.
