What happens if you demux the m2ts that AVCHDCoder created and mux them to mkv with mkvmerge? |

Or the options used. The files that are made by mkvmerge aren't working (on my player that is, works fine with MPC). But when i convert the file with Automen (another GUI found here), it works fine, even though mkvmerge is used in the process. The only "issue" i have with automen is i can't use attached font with the subtitles. I'm trying to find out what options i need to use for mkvmerge to work. This is really weird because the result is the same when i check the files with mediainfo, video AVC, audio MP3. But the one that comes from mkvmerge GUI doesn't work... |

I upgraded the select streams tab. This is the result:
But that is not all. I am also working on external audio streams. As you see in the screenshot: external audio is added. This new feature will be made available in the next version of AVCHDCoder. This is the current changelog, but more will be done: Added - Second menu pack (For registered users only) Fixed - Frame doubling caused the output to run too fast. (This is used in camcorders) Fixed - Unknown subtitles streams are visible in the Streams tab. Selecting them will result in an error. Fixed - If source duration is too long and you selected LPCM audio it will result in an error. Fixed - If your source is Blu-ray and you selected a playlist that contains multiple items (SBD) the duration in the Streams tab is wrong. Possible fix - Sometimes the disc created is a little bit too big. (about 5MB) X264 causes the problem. Upgraded - Select Streams tab: translation, audio delay is now shown and a small of the appearance. |

Currently I am updating my outdated profiles. But I am not a x264 expert when it comes to compliant blu-ray/avchd streams. Looked a little bit at the settings on this page: http://sites.google.com/site/x264bluray/home
I need 3 profiles: a fast, medium and slow profile. I came up with these settings for x264 r1666: Pass 1 is for all three speeds the same. Only second pass is different. Fast speed (Medium Quality): Pass 1: "x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate <bitrate> --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --open-gop bluray --stats "statsFile.stats" --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --sar 1:1 --direct auto --output NUL "input.avs" Pass 2: "x264.exe" --preset fast --pass 2 --bitrate <bitrate> --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --open-gop bluray --stats "statsFile.stats" --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --sar 1:1 --direct auto --output "output.264" "input.avs" Medium speed (High Quality): Pass 1: "x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate <bitrate> --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --open-gop bluray --stats "statsFile.stats" --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --sar 1:1 --direct auto --output NUL "input.avs" Pass 2: "x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate <bitrate> --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --open-gop bluray --stats "statsFile.stats" --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --sar 1:1 --me umh --direct auto --psy-rd 1.0:0.25 --output "output.264" "input.avs" Slow speed (Highest Quality): Pass 1: "x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate <bitrate> --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --open-gop bluray --stats "statsFile.stats" --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --sar 1:1 --direct auto --output NUL "input.avs" Pass 2: "x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate <bitrate> --weightp 0 --bframes 3 --nal-hrd vbr --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 --level 4.1 --keyint 24 --b-pyramid strict --slices 4 --aud --open-gop bluray --stats "statsFile.stats" --ipratio 1.1 --pbratio 1.1 --fps 24000/1001 --force-cfr --sar 1:1 --subme 9 --me umh --ref 4 --direct auto --b-adapt 2 --trellis 2 --psy-rd 1.0:0.25 --partitions all --output "output.264" "input.avs" Are these profiles AVCHD and blu-ray compliant? if not: what changes do I need to make to get compliancy. Compaired with my old profiles these profiles are about 10%-15% faster. So there is some room to make changes in quality without longer encoding times compaired to previous versions. I also need to know if the following is good: AVCHD(18Mbit): --vbv-maxrate 18000 --vbv-bufsize 13500 AVCHD(24Mbit): --vbv-maxrate 24000 --vbv-bufsize 18000 Blu-ray: --vbv-maxrate 40000 --vbv-bufsize 30000 or is it better when --vbv-maxrate and --vbv-bufsize values are the same? And if the following keyint values are ok: Framerate: --keyint 23.976: 24 24: 24 25: 25 29.97: 30 30: 30 50: 50 59.94: 60 60: 60 Last edited by twazerty; 11th July 2010 at 23:50. |

Today I released a new version of AVCHDCoder. A lot of work has been done and here are the most important points:
- New encoding profiles. - Video remux mode. - More control over the output resolution and framerate ('Avanced' option) and of course other fixes and improvements. The full Changelog can be viewed after installation or online at http://tools.twanwintjes.nl. You can download the new version by clicking on the following link: AVCHDCoder 10.08.08 setup.exe I hope you will enjoy the new version. Quote:

Good work! I assume "Added - Video remux mode. Only available in some cases." means if an MKV is AVCHD compatible (frame size etc) then it won't be re-encoded?
Edit: Can't get it to load any MKVs (error reading file). Any ideas? All required codecs/software installed as far as I know. Windows 7 x64. Last edited by rendez2k; 8th August 2010 at 23:30. |

About the remux mode: Currently there are no checks to see if the stream is compliant. This new mode will pop up if: resolution in combination with the framerate are blu-ray compliant. So 1080p60 --> No remux mode, 720p50 --> remux mode. This mode can be selected under Encoder speed. Remux mode appears in the following cases: 1920x1080p23.976 or 1920x1080p24 1920x1080i25 or 1920x1080i29.976 1280x720p23.976 or 1280x720p24 or 1280x720p50 or 1280x720p59.94 720x576i25 720x480i29.97 The remux mode will copy the source video stream to the output without any conversions. You can still change audio or add subtitles. When you activate this mode you will see an information window. I think I fixed the problem: new version of AVCHDCoder Last edited by twazerty; 9th August 2010 at 00:22. |

not yet. I will see what I can do for the next release. Maybe I'll add forced (hardcoded) subs. At least for the next release a couple of options are added:
AVI support (first beta testing) Cropper for SD meterial. So you can cut off the black borders. |

Thanks for the tool.
I would like to know how big the quality difference is between the "High Quality" and "Highest Quality" settings. Under which circumstances would you say it matters, resp. doesn't matter which of the two you choose? Thanks in advance. |

The visible difference in quality gets bigger the lower the bitrate is. I would say: 1080p at a bitrate of 4500 or lower. And 1080i at 5000 or lower. But for specific sources the highest quality is advised. I only needed it when I was converting 1080i soccer (sports) recordings because even on 6000 kbps the quality was bad. In most cases the highest quality is overkill. This is my opinion and if you think higest quality must be used at all times that's up to you.

What settings does your gui use for...
I am trying your tool for the first time,Thanks for your contribution!
I am doing a encode now on "slow" Highest Quality.Other tools use subme 7,trellis 1,badapt 1,...etc for there "default" setting.What do you use for your "default setting" subme x,trellis x,etc... I did see your post from july 11,does not give these settings.Your slow "highest quality" looks more like x264 preset "very slow".which is way over kill and to long in my opinion.I started one last night and 2nd pass is running 18hrs on a Phenom II BE OC 965 3.8ghz on the slow "highest Quality" setting.When I use x264 cli and preset slow with the same bluray specs that you list from july 11,it takes me about 7.5hrs.Hope you can answer this for me,Thanks stinman |

AVCHDCoder 10.09.12 released
I released AVCHDCoder 10.09.12 today. There are some annoying bugs fixed and there are some new features. But there is more. This is also my first version that I am hosting myself. I rented a server for downloads. This way you don't need to download a new version yourself. You will notified when a new version is available and you can download it directly without starting up your browser. Before downloading you can also see what is fixed etc. I hope you like it. I already claimed www.avchdcoder.com and www.avchdcoder.nl and will be filled with AVCHDCoder information soon.
