Nice

And the chapter count is proper, right?
And mouse won't enable those empty chapter-placeholders

Perhaps some people confirm this by using external chapter an disabling directshow option ....
after my tests,
With Directshow, the difference is allways (-1s) between chapter file txt reference and the chapter point created.
With mplayer, the chapter points and references file are near similar but by title I've 1chapter point with (-1s) difference.
Not the same number chapter on each title (some the 2nd, time the 3th...)


Another about the poster image.
I don't know if I well understand the way for input poster image in XMB menu (or it is not yet aviable).
But I've created picture (png file in 1920x1080) and named correctly (movie1.png for movie.mkv...)
After compilation no poster image displayed in xmb menu only thumbail or backgroung picture.
I saw in tab Editor for each title a box poster image (with "click to ad image poster.." option), but when I click nothing appears ?

No, it is not available yet.

I'm trying to fix things before moving forward.

I try, for example :

I've created for a sample movie a chapter file with 4 points, like 00:00:00 is the original point)
00:00:00 00:00:31 00:01:02 00:01:33

I creat a multiavchd with 3 sample movies
movie1 with movie1.txt (chapter file txt).
movie2 with movie2.txt
movie3 with movie3.txt
(each txt have the same chapter points seen up).

During playback, if I check each chapter :
- with directshow option, each chapter have -1s difference
For 00:00:31 reference playback acces is to 00:00:30 etc..

- with mplayer (not directshow option activated).
The playback acces to chapter a the reference are correct,
but for one chapter I obtain this same difference at -1s.
ex: With movie1
00:00:31 is correct
00:01:02 => playback 00:01:01
00:01:33 is correct.
With movie2
00:00:31 => playback 00:00:30
00:01:02 is correct.
00:01:33 is correct.
With movie3
00:00:31 is correct
00:01:02 => playback 00:01:01
00:01:33 is correct.

Ok, I understood.

But now after testing with some longer movies (40 min.), I have to say, that 2 chapter thumbs where set "wrong" as they are approx. 1 - 2 min. to early in time.

That's right. With mplayer it is impossible to get the correct thumbnails.

For shorter videos the difference is not so obvious but for 40-50min or 120-240min movies it is. Directshow works fine no matter how long is the video.

A minor fix in build 471: it seems some CLPI/CPI files were wrongly set with HDMV0200 header instead 0100 which is by AVCHD standard. It is now fixed.

Build 468:
* External/embedded chapters are used for chapter thumbnails in XMB style menu

I did some tests with ts/mkv/m2ts files... Please let me know if something is wrong.

You will see information in the progress bar about current chaptermark used while generating menu.
I did read the previous pages, just didn't realise the thumbnails were always 12

Working fine now, thanks

This tool is becoming pretty useful for movie only BD's now that chapters can be used for something like a 'scene selection' menu. Great job!

Next step importing retail menus/extras?

I found a bug while importing AVCHD folders... there is a problem with chapters and now it is fixed in build 472, but chapters are not kept I'll take a look at it tomorrow.

This tool is no longer working for me. Worked 2 versions ago, when XMB menu option was first introduced. Now, when I click 'Preview', it looks like it's going to generate the menu preview, but doesn't. I click 'clickBD', it goes through the motions, but gives me an error when building menu (see attached). I'm using m2ts files (extras) from the UK 'Taken' Blu-ray.

Could this be because I've used the update tool to keep multiAVCHD updated? Do I need to uninstall and install the new build? I have Vista and do have AviSynth installed. Thanks.

The resulting BD structure just shows the generic menu w/a single title, not what I created (see attched).

Update: Sorry, I can't get the 'menu' screenshot of the menu properly. It shows just... 1. multiAVCHD Custom Menu

FYI, Middle to late of last week this was not an issue. I made a BD-R with two movies, both with original chapters. multiAVCHD was up to date then.

@hidef_rec: If you can't get the preview working and if you have "1. multiAVCHD custom menu" it means that there is a problem with avisynth. Reinstall version 2.58 - there is a link in the first post of the thread. You can download the complete Setup_multiAVCHD_2.5, too.

@odin24: I know. The problem appeared when I introduced chapter thumbnails generated on the base of external/embedded/default chapter marks.

When AVCHD folder is imported I have no way of getting info about existing chapters - hence the crash. Original chapters are still kept, it is all about the thumbnails in XMB.

multiCHAP.txt

In build 473:

Chapter information is stored in output folder (the same way as multiMENU.txt) so information will be available when importing AVCHD folders back to multiAVCHD. The file is multiCHAP.txt and each line contains chapter marks for the corresponding title in order.

If verbose logging is enabled you will see information about chapters used while processing files/folders.

*** edit ***: and in 474 a fix for chapters for file-titles, as they were not saved.

UP/DOWN buttons in XMB menu

Finally.... in build 475:

UP and DOWN buttons will scroll title list in XMB without pressing OK/X/ENTER

I hope you'll like and enjoy it as much as I do

It is somehow sad that it took changing only ONE BIT to make it work, but I needed 14 days to find it out.
