Just rename the audio to .ac3. When you import it you'll see (TrueHD) in its properties.

// edit: ...or update with multiUPDATE.exe. multiAVCHD will now recognize .thd extension (both in title properties or auto-loaded with video)

Great work Dean. Thanks.

Also I think that "compilation name" should be set at "author" or "media" tab and kept on project file.

1) Probably you have [x] Discard settings from project files (mpf) in SETTINGS tab

2) Project name is saved in multiAVCHD.mpf in the output folder of your compilation. If you want to have it with [Save project] button then click [START], enter compilation name and click [X] to close the window.

Finally found a program that directly converts ass subs to srt so now I can play these MKVs. I'll still use multiAVCHD for converting things to play on other players though that don't have MKV playback capability. Thanks for your help.

deank · 20th April 2010, 17:17

Good... ASS/SSA to SRT is just 20 lines of code... I was thinking to put it as another tool in multiAVCHD's folder, but I guess there is not need for it.

spudman · 20th April 2010, 19:22

Hi deank... I am very new to all this so please forgive me if im being a bit of nooob but what is the perpose of the NTSC PAL selection. Would it not matter what I was selecting if the project was being played on a ps3 with a relaxed avchd format on a DVD. Would it work on all formats (NTSC PAL units) ?

deank · 20th April 2010, 19:32

If your PS3 is the NTSC version make sure to use [NTSC] in TV system selection drop-down.

TV system setting has its purpose, so please use the correct one for your region.

//

Any TV system setting will work with PAL units. NTSC units will require NTSC system, so the safe way is to select (the default) NTSC.

spudman · 20th April 2010, 19:33

Ok will do but what is this to do with ? Is it to do with the creation of the menus ?
Thanks for the help.

Ok brill so if I select NTSC im safe on all consoles really.
Thanks for the help its just that I have created a few Anime titles and my brother who has a NTSC unit wants to play them on his thats all.

Thanks again.

@spudman,
The NTSC/PAL setting is very important for several things (including output resolution). Just use the right one and quit whining about it.

spudman · 20th April 2010, 22:26

Thanks for the info Adub.... Im not whining though, just learing

Adub · 21st April 2010, 05:10

Yes, I have to admit I was a little harsh. My apologies.

NTSC is most often used in North America, while PAL is most often used in Europe, if you need a good rule of thumb.

grandmasta · 21st April 2010, 13:19

hello, I have now formatted my PC and installed multiavchd new.
but I still see in the chapter only black images. It is possible that it does not work with m2ts-files?

praneeth.gogineni · 21st April 2010, 15:31

This going to be a long post of suggestions I have so can you please not skim it.

My first hope is that you can somehow give some of the functions of BD-Rebuilder to multiavchd. BD-Rebuilder converts a Blu ray or AVCHD disc to either a BD25, a BD9, or a BD5, while retaining anything wanting to be kept. If you could add this functionality to multiavchd it would be greatly appreciated. I am not sure if there is already a way to do this.

The next thing i would like to talk about is your menus, they are perfectly great, but I hope that you could combine them TVixie and make them super good. If you do not know what TVixie is just google it and install the program. Here is a picture template of what I Hope the new menu can look like, I Have also inserted a black box where you can input a movie clip. This template is only for 720p, and is partially edited. Along the top you can put the options of movie, chapters, setup, and title list. This particular template shows how Madagascar would look.

3rd your menus are good, but on my blu ray player when i click for another menu like chapters it pauses and changes, on normal blu ray's this is a smooth motion with no pause, but that may be because those are video overlays. If you could somehow change it so it is a smooth flawless motion that would also be appreciated.

4th your pop up menus, they have this space look to them. Is there a way in multiavchd you can change the look because the theme does not go well with most movies. If we could instead have a simplistic look, that would be appreaciated too. Also when I click on a button on the pop up menu I would be happier if it moved me to another pop up menu so I dont have to leave the movie rather than bringing me back to the top menu. Also i would like a smooth flawless motion on the pop up menus.

5th on the top menu is there a way to get rid of which version of multiavchd i made it with, because it always shows up in the bottom left hand corner with the time the disc was created.

6th on the menu can you add a way to select a certain video clip that will preview in the menu rather than having it from the beginning.

7th and lastly can you add an option to be able to change the color of your subtitles like to yellow.

Please reply in a post to how many of these suggestions you will use, how many you will try to do, how many are there, and how many you arent going to do.

1) Why would you need that - BD-Rebuilder already does the job. Still you can do the same for most blu-ray titles in RE-AUTHOR mode. Drag BDMV folder to multiAVCHD and you'll see.

2) --- Few other users asked about tvixie... I'll see about it

3) It can't be made more flawless, because multiAVCHD doesn't use IGS but video pages. It can't be changed.

4) Same for the pop-up. It can't be changed.

5) There is an option in MENU tab [-] Show build and time in footer. UNtick it.

6) Yes, you can add external video of your choice. And audio, too.

7) You can change the subtitle style in "Subtitle&Audio" tab.

praneeth.gogineni · 21st April 2010, 16:08

thanks for the response, especially the reasoning now i understand the menus better. But the tvixie thing would be awesome. Thanks again

spudman · 21st April 2010, 20:32

Tvixie would be SUPERB !!!! if this could be built into this program.

Adub · 21st April 2010, 22:54

Hmm... didn't Pelican release some support for IGS muxing recently?

crl2007 · 22nd April 2010, 01:50

Yes, he did. In BDEdit. Here is the guide for IGS menu editing and here is the guide for blu-ray re-authoring using multiAVCHD.

He did, but how do you 'automate' it into an application?

***

Latest update for 747:

* Fix for IGS: now all menu IGS are set with proper fps, according to the TV system setting
* Fix for pop-up menu (faster + TV system)

Yeah, that I can't answer. Maybe Pelican9 can come out with a commandline app that will help with menu creation and editing.
