I fixed it. I downloaded BDedit and the chapter 10 mark was at 1:59:59 and I moved it to 2:00:00 and all is fine. The chapter was not at a MTS file break (30 some seconds after).

The mark being at a double roll over must have caused the PS3 lockup.

Why does multiAVCHD start all the videos at strange times when multiple titles are used? This video started at 1:14:59 so add 45min and you are at 1:59:59 on the 10th chapter mark. My guess is it is just uses the source M2TS file's time marks.

Feature Request:

12 chapter marks are not enough for feature length movies. Would you be open to adding another 12 on the bottom of the right side of the XMB menu?

Maybe move the "Chapter Selection" title to the middle of the right side?

See attachment.

I don't understand your question. It is tsmuxer's job to prepare chapters.

I don't think it is possible to have more than 15 buttons on a single menu page and now XMB uses exactly 15.

A reminder to new and old users of multiAVCHD:

If adding FILES (mkv/mts/m2ts/mov/mpeg/mpg/ts), multiAVCHD will search for additional media (subtitles/audio/etc).

Example: your input (movie file) is called Test_movie.mkv

multiAVCHD can add corresponding:

* Test_movie.LID.srt (where LID is subtitle language ID to be used)
* Test_movie.srt (SubRip subtitles)
* Test_movie.ssa (substation alpha subtitles)
* Test_movie.sup (BD subtitles)
* Test_movie.ac3 (Dolby Digital Audio)
* Test_movie.dts (DTS audio)
* Test_movie.pcm (PCM audio)
* Test_movie.lpcm (LPCM audio)
* Test_movie.txt (chapters - soon!)

Soon (for XMB menu):
* Test_movie.jpg (JPEG poster image - jpg or jpeg)
* Test_movie.bmp (BMP poster image)
* Test_movie.png (PNG poster image)

How about an option for making the chapters every 15 minutes instead of 5, then for a 3 hour video that's only 12 chapter thumbnails?

That would be great ... setting the chapter markers individually via txt file would push this programm to the next level.

[deank]

A user suggested to have those external and probably internal (editable in EDITOR tab).

@deank
I've created prototype for new AVCHD menu. Nevertheless I'm not sure if this would be possible in your app. I'm sure that glass effect could be recreated using avs script .

[deank]

It looks really cool... I was thinking today of other menu types, too... Should I try to implement it... and how would you like to name it?

And.. any "look" is possible in multiAVCHD... it depends on avisynth

[Atak_Snajpera]

Should I try to implement it...

I can help you with this. Just say what you need. Do you know how to recreate reflection in avs script? I used Guasian blur 5 pixels + transparency.
BTW there is even enough space for chapters

and how would you like to name it?

Default?

You can now use external chapters in .txt file. TXT file format is really relaxed and could be a mess such as:

00:00:02;00:00:03;00:00:04;00:00:05 ; 00:00:06
00:00:07
00:00:08;
00:00:12;00:00:13;00:00:14
00:00:15

00:00:16;
00:00:17
00:00:18
00:00:19 00:00:20 00:00:21 00:00:22 00:00:23

Each line can contain one or many chapter marks, separated by ";" or space " " and time stamps have to be exactly 8 characters long (HH:MM:SS, not M:SS or H:MM:SS or H:M:S...). Empty lines are ignored.



I think of dropping out the oldest (predefined) menu style with "Title#1... Title#20". I doubt anyone uses it anymore... Then of course multiAVCHD will ALWAYS require avisynth when menu is created.

Does anyone still use the pre-custom menu from the initial versions? It will decrease the size of multiAVCHD package (and DAT) by ~50%.

Great enhancement, very great. Will test it later this afternoon with "my" mov files.

This indivudual chapter markers do not effect the thumbs in xmb, don´t they?

[deank]

It will effect the jump point (as set in the chapter list) but not the thumbnails... one step at a time

No no ... all is good. Xmb and chapter-thumbs are still something to test with for me.

Build 460:

* multiAVCHD.dat update required to (2.5.460)
* removed PREDEFINED menu support
* dat size: 6MB / full package size: 14MB

multiAVCHD.exe is just 436KB

[kenguru2005]

I saw you do preparations for posters in editor tab.

Btw.: chapters are fine when added via text file. I tested with "my" mov files.

[deank]

yep!

Hello!
I will convert Apple movie trailers (MOV files) to AVCHD disc with multiAVCHD. Can you add an audio convert option (from AAC to AC3) in the audio menu? This option will be nice!
Otherwise a great program!

The video may not be compatible in the mov file. You can use Ripbot to create a new file that works in MultiAVCHD.
