I will release it today. Priority can be changed. Default priority is Low. I am not going to make any changes in the current version. All those things will be added/fixed in the next version.

I'll download and report back any bugs I see with initial testing.

Edit: Just noticed, but one feature that would be nice would be to automatically import the chapters from a bluray. Should be easy enough to do with eac3to, as it automatically scans the bluray structure and will output a chapter file if you ask it to.

Request for automating custom chapter importing was already made way back in post #24:
Quote:
Additionally, please modify your program so that one can simply "Cut & Paste" a custom chapter list, rather than having to enter each time manually?

Better still, why not automate the process? Recent versions of "tsMuxeR" pick up the existing chapter information from MKVs.

tsMuxer cannot deliver me chapter information. tsMuxer can only give you the chapters in the tsMuxerGUI. I am not using that. Or does the command line version give me the chapter?

The chapters are listed by eac3to just like any other track. You simply select the track and tell eac3to to output them to a .txt file or similar.

@twazerty

According to the author of "tsMuxeR", since v.1.7.8:
Quote:
Ability to open Blu-ray playlist (MPLS) files added. Also, when MPLS file is opened, chapters list automatically imported.

Hi twazerty,

This app is looking better all the time, but could you please revisit your x264 encode profile and lower the keyint and keyint_min values? Right now you have them set for 250/25 which makes things incredibly sluggish when scanning forward/backward or jumping chapters. They should be set to 24/2 (this reflects the Blu-ray profiles on MeGUI) to provide a smoother scanning experience that's similar to actual Blu-ray discs.

Thanks,
Visor

twazerty: Thanks for the new version I like the new look and streams window and the pause/resume. However after a little bit of testing I've found a few issues they are:

- set dts-core on select streams, press add, it doesn't go to output page
- if you have a dts-core title in job the job won't start
- output is very strange. Most compatible output is 1.10.6 default but having an option to remove AUXDATA/BDJO/CERTIFICATE/JAR/META would be helpful for the few players that can't play tsmuxer's default output.
- 720p sup files are positioned about 20 lines higher then the original, subs on top of pic may be cut off
- BD25 output uses --vbv-maxrate 24000 projects < ~2 hours will be undersized. BD allows 40 mbps video bitrate max and 48 mbps total.

And a few additions/changes I thought of:
- Menu editor, change selection names, remove intro video, etc.
- apply 'auto-set' on output page by default and remove the button, it's normal behavior in all apps that I've used
- moving force subtitle option to the right of the subtitles on select stream page or in subtitles page
- any use for adding internal subtitles? if not maybe merge order/add subtitles to subtitles page and move browse for external subtitles to subtitles page
- support keeping 192, 224, 256 kbps AC3 (overhead is already public knowledge)
- support encoding 2.0 to 192 kbps
- support interlaced input, if interlaced add x264 --interlaced
- support multiple languages on sub streams to keep in settings
- quality indicator would be a little more accurate if it was dependent on resolution but most accurate with a compression check
- no installer version
- how to use opens the pdf instead of telling to open from start menu
- path of titles already in the project on output page
- option to end playback after all titles are done playing (add break to end of BD commands)
- option to use 64-bit x264 using avs2yuv also have an auto option which is default, if x64 OS use 64 bit otherwise use 32 bit

also did you want me to delete the features that are now added from the list I wrote awhile back?

To add to this chapters have always been track 1 in every BD I've seen. Maybe there is exceptions though. Maybe EAC3to could also get stream languages from BD.

I agree. While long GOP's have noticeable advantages in a few situations over short GOP's. It's disadvantages are noticeable on a lot of players. Plus short GOP's greatly increase the chance of hitting the chapter accurately but for this x264 --qp-file would make it 100% accurate. I think short GOP's should be default and long GOP's an option along with a few other x264 options like psy-trellis.

FIXED - set dts-core on select streams, press add, it doesn't go to output page
FIXED - if you have a dts-core title in job the job won't start
FIXED (Forgot AUXDATA) - output is very strange. Most compatible output is 1.10.6 default but having an option to remove AUXDATA/BDJO/CERTIFICATE/JAR/META would be helpful for the few players that can't play tsmuxer's default output.


- 720p sup files are positioned about 20 lines higher then the original, subs on top of pic may be cut off
the resizing will be done while muxing. bottom-offset=0. Can't find the problem

- BD25 output uses --vbv-maxrate 24000 projects < ~2 hours will be undersized. BD allows 40 mbps video bitrate max and 48 mbps total.
When BD25 is selected max bitrate is 40000




And a few additions/changes I thought of:
- Menu editor, change selection names, remove intro video, etc.
Menu editor is not possible for me. Don't have the knowedge to build it.

- apply 'auto-set' on output page by default and remove the button, it's normal behavior in all apps that I've used
Let's think. Now the output file is based on the Disc Title when you hit the button. If I remove the button and you don't select a location manually I will automaticly choose default location after a question. Great idea.

- moving force subtitle option to the right of the subtitles on select stream page or in subtitles page
My current design doesn't allow me to do that. It is Force subs for each item or not aka for the whole disc. Maybe in the near future I will make some changes. No high priority for now

- any use for adding internal subtitles? if not maybe merge order/add subtitles to subtitles page and move browse for external subtitles to subtitles page
I use the feature myself a lot. Can't find a way to merge them whitout losing space for the order subtitles. No high priority now but I'll find a way to merge them.

- support keeping 192, 224, 256 kbps AC3 (overhead is already public knowledge)
I use my own formulas and those are not availible on the internet. It has no high priority but formulas are easy to make for me. Need your help to speed up the process. If you are interested in delivering me data i will add it to AVCHDCoder. (I'll tell you what and how to deliver)

- support encoding 2.0 to 192 kbps
2.0 is supported if 384, 448 or 640 kbps (same as above)

- support interlaced input, if interlaced add x264 --interlaced
What will output be if i do that. Progressive or interlaced?

- support multiple languages on sub streams to keep in settings
Needed to read it a couple of times before i understood it How many? Current is 1. maybe trough a seperate panel where you can select them you want to keep?

- quality indicator would be a little more accurate if it was dependent on resolution but most accurate with a compression check
With the first part: What do you mean?

- no installer version
Next version will also be released as exe only. (Complete install and exe only)

- how to use opens the pdf instead of telling to open from start menu
Great idea

- path of titles already in the project on output page
if i add previous idea this isn't neccesary

- option to end playback after all titles are done playing (add break to end of BD commands)
I thought I already added that. No option but by default

- option to use 64-bit x264 using avs2yuv also have an auto option which is default, if x64 OS use 64 bit otherwise use 32 bit
already planned to add this feature.

Hi again twazerty, these are the 2 settings that you should adjust. For best results, (following XolocoTuxMaster's "SA-Blu-ray" profile incorporated into MeGui), these values should be --keyint 24 --min-keyint 2. Please note these should also be added to the fast profiles. See the following post for more details:

- settings page: delete temp file always enabled on restart
- settings page: default output always set to iso on restart

Interlaced, if you don't add --interlaced the stream will appear as progressive, not only is this wrong but 30p is not in the BD/AVCHD standards while 30i frames per second/60i fields per seconds is.

All possible, either select\deselect with shift/ctrl keys or check boxes

With the first part: What do you mean?
1920x1080 and 1280x720 give the same 'quality message' and 4500 kbps is minimum recommended for both. While it's a complete shot in the dark they should appear quite differently. Using bits per pixel 4500 kbps 1080p = 2000 kbps 720p

While it's completely opinionated this is what I'd use:

If you want to stick with just 2 go with default and fast. The slow is fairly slow. One thing that might work better as an option like 'use psy-trellis for sharper output' then as default is --psy-rd 1.0:0.2 while I think it does a very good job of keeping the sharpness of the source some people don't care for it.

Merging the tabs
The idea of adding internal subtitles is this:
Now you can add the same subtitle again only with a different preset. So you can choose between different settings. This is only usefull for srt and ass files.

To prevent problems I need to work with my formulas. I don't want to hack more stuff into it. Currect module allows me to add more formulas.

So both input and output wil be interlaced? What will happen if I add --interlaced on a progressive input?

In the past I already had this disscussion. Basicly:
Visible quality will remain the same for both resolutions at the same bitrate. Analysed frame by frame and both gave me similar quality. Sometimes the 720p was better and sometimes 1080p was better. That is why I use only 1 quality indicator because I am convinced 720p at 2000kbps is far worser then 1080p at 4500. (Tested on a high action movie: The Matrix) Don't want to start the discussion again.

One thing that might work better as an option like 'use psy-trellis for sharper output' then as default is --psy-rd 1.0:0.2 while I think it does a very good job of keeping the sharpness of the source some people don't care for it.
Don't actually now what I am going to do.


Edit: What do you think the bitrate is for this file:
DVD5
120 minute movie
AC3 448kbps

If you calculate the bitrate that is needed for the encoder. I'll do the same with my formulas. Remember: The bitrate for the h264 file. Keep in mind the unknown overhead of m2ts. This way we can see if I made a mistake calculating with the values in that thread.

S_HDMV/PGS, [sourcefile], fps=[source fps], track=[trackid]
I don't think that should affect it. I'll investigate further.

Merging the tabs
The idea of adding internal subtitles is this:
Now you can add the same subtitle again only with a different preset. So you can choose between different settings. This is only usefull for srt and ass files.
Oh ok that makes sense.

They are not correct and/or i can't get the correct bitrate out of it. My own formulas are much better. (Actually they are much easier than those in the topic.)

To prevent problems I need to work with my formulas. I don't want to hack more stuff into it. Currect module allows me to add more formulas.
I can't make much sense of them either but it's no surprise as math was one of my worst subjects.

So both input and output wil be interlaced? What will happen if I add --interlaced on a progressive input?
These are the times when --interlaced should be used as per standards:

framerate is 29.97
resolution is 720x480 framerate must be 29.97 fps (pulldown)
resolution is 720x576 framerate must be 25 fps
framerate is 25i

In case of confusion I'm using the framerate of how it's on BD as 29.97i / 25i instead of how it's displayed on a progressive TV at 60i / 25i after frame doubling.

In the past I already had this disscussion. Basicly:
Visible quality will remain the same for both resolutions at the same bitrate. Analysed frame by frame and both gave me similar quality. Sometimes the 720p was better and sometimes 1080p was better. That is why I use only 1 quality indicator because I am convinced 720p at 2000kbps is far worser then 1080p at 4500. (Tested on a high action movie: The Matrix) Don't want to start the discussion again.
Frankly compressibility should be the only quality factor that's ever used. Bitrate and bits per pixel are wild guesses.

This is such a PITA without a free-range calculator that's accurate like gordian knot. I can't get you 448 AC3 at this time, but RipBot264 gives me:

120 minutes
192 AC3 = 4714 kbps
224 AC3 = 4715 kbps
256 AC3 = 4669 kbps

60 minutes
192 AC3 = 9716 kbps
224 AC3 = 9717 kbps
256 AC3 = 9671 kbps

It looks weird but I remember the dev saying it's actual and I haven't seen anyone report sizing issues with any of these bitrates although they might not be very well tested.

I am working on 64bit via avs2yuv.exe but can't get it to work. Installed ffdshow64 bit. ffdshow will popup to ask if i want to use avs2yuv.exe but after that encoding will be skipped.

Code:
"C:\A\Tools\avs2yuv.exe" "C:\A\Temp\input.avs" -raw - | "C:\A\Tools\x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate 20000 --stats "C:\A\Temp\input.stats" --level 4.1 --keyint 240 
--min-keyint 24 --bframes 3 --weightb --direct auto --subme 2 --partitions none --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 24000 --me dia --threads auto 
--thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-ssim --output NUL -



Code:
"C:\A\Tools\avs2yuv.exe" "C:\A\Temp\input.avs" -raw - | "C:\A\Tools\x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate 20000 --stats "C:\A\Temp\input.stats" --level 4.1 --keyint 240 
--min-keyint 24 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 3 --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --trellis 1 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 
--vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 24000 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --progress --no-ssim --output "C:\A\Output\output.264" -

Input is still being decoded by 32 bit apps, but for avs2yuv you need to pass it some extra parameters, also pipebuf.exe can assist on setting a larger buffer for more speed.

An example using this tool.

Code:
Source: E:\test.avs
Output: E:\test.mkv
Params: --crf 26

Analayzing source file:
E:\test.avs: 1280x720, 2500000/104271 fps, 1275 frames

Resolution: 1280 x 720
Frame No. : 1275
Frame Rate: 2500000/104271

x264 0.66.1101M b69548a
built on Feb  5 2009, gcc: 4.4.0 20081231 (experimental)
Commandline for x264:
"F:\TOOLS\x264 x64 Launcher\pipebuf.exe" "F:\TOOLS\x264 x64 Launcher\avs2yuv.exe" E:\test.avs -raw - : "F:\TOOLS\x264 x64 Launcher\x264_x64.exe" --crf 26 --threads auto --progress --frames 1275 --fps 2500000/104271 --output E:\test.mkv - 1280x720 : 4
The weird --fps is needed for accurate 25 and 29.97 output. 23.976 won't be accurate until x264 is fixed. Common --fps like 29.97, 29.97030, 29.97/10001 won't work.

I just downloaded and started to install AVCHDCoder v.09.06.07 - and McAfee tells me that the package includes "PrcViewer" as part of "Process.exe" in "AVCHDCoder090607beta\Tools\".

McAfee states that "McAfee has blocked a potentially unwanted program (PUP) on your computer. If you do not recognize it, we recommend that you remove the program."

Please advise, is this a "safe"/legitimate content that you've knowingly included in this package, or is there a reason for concern?

Did a check with AVG. No detections found. I don't think there is a reason for concern. What will happen if you manually check process.exe What does mcafee says?

Seems to be a normal warning. See this mcafee site:
http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_137331.htm

It will point to the url given in this thread.
