It appears to work fine, it launches, but it gives errors when I try to add AVCHD .m2ts files.

It would be great if the GUI could run with WINE.

I use tsMuxergui on my Mac via Crossover ( commercial verion of Wine for OS X) with out any problems.

Thankyou for a great program.

I'm having a little problem with a mux. The source files are a video (1920x816 H.264) track and a DTS audio track. The process seems to go fine:

SmartLabs tsMuxeR. Version 1.6.3(b) http://www.smlabs.net
Decoding H264 stream (track 1): Profile: High@4.1 Resolution: 1920:816p Frame rate: 23.976fps
0.0% complete
H264 bitstream changed: insert nal unit delimiters
Decoding DTS stream (track 2): Bitrate: 1536Kbps Sample Rate: 48KHz Channels: 6
B-pyramid level 1 detected. Shift DTS to 2 frames
761.4% complete
Processed 220688 video frames
761.7% complete
Mux successful complete.
Muxing time: 14 min 41.6273 sec

Except for the "761.4% complete" part, but I guess it's just being thorough

The resulting TS-file played back in VLC doesn't play any audio and under Stream Information it says:

Stream 0
-Codec: h264
-Language:
Type:Video

Stream 1
Codec: spu
Language:
Type: Subtitle

Which seems a bit strange...

I'm using the 1.6.3(b) Linux version BTW.

Here's the output of mkvinfo:

Any ideas what's wrong?

[dorati]

I have problem with TS-Files. The A/V-Delay is not calculated correct.

Is the Source of your Programm available ?
If not, how you calculate the PCR (what is changed /different to TsRemux) ?

Thank you.

only as I i media stream to 4 rooms , 3 of which just have HD tv's
no AV recievers , so just me being lazy

and this would make it the only tool I required
at the moment I have to demux and m2ts stream ,

convert the DTS to AC3 in media coder and remux to m2ts ,
for use by my popcorn media tanks

now if I could do it with this one tool !!!!!

[ElrondElvish]

There seem to be more than a few MKV files that have the DAR encoded in the container and the aspect ratio is missing from the video stream (a 264 stream for example).

tsMuxer doesn't seem to read the DAR from the MKV container and write that to the ts container, thus some movies are muxed with the wrong aspect ratio (the actual ratio of the encoded video instead of correct display ratio). An example:

Input MKV
Video #0
Codec : MPEG-4 AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG4 ISO advanced profile
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 432 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 2.35

Output M2TS
Video #0
Codec : AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG-4 AVC
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 432 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 1.630

Can tsMuxer be updated to read and thus write the original container DAR, or otherwise, is there a tool that can write the correct DAR to the ts output that tsMuxer generates?

Thanks.

I plan the following:
1. Add .srt subtitles support and ability to convert srt to PGS
2. Add dvd subtitles support and ability to convert srt to SUB.
3. Ability to convert SUB to PGS
4. Add HD-DVD subtitles, ability to convert HD-DVD subtitles to DVD SUB or PGS.
5. Add other txt based subtitles

Very impressive list! Would be cool if there was later on also an option to only extract forced subtitles (if they are not in a seperate stream).


Btw: Now that BD edit has correct chapter export (see below), would you please consider adding millisecond support for chapters?

tsremux any ideas

ps this problem is apparent also with latest Version 1.7.1(b)

Hi roman i have done some tests and found the reason i am getting
a black screen and no sound with 1080 files. the reason is tsmuxer
is not producing an CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file for 1080 files only for 720. i took the CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file from a structure created with tsremux and dropped it into the structure tsmuxer created and it plays when burnt to avchd the problem is 1080 = no CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file can you fix this please

EDIT: Nevermind the newest version seems to work fine thanks

Now 30fps MPEG-2 video stream with pulldown processed even strange. Resulting TS can't play correct even on PC. Video is playing at about 12 fps (very low CPU load) and audio is stuttering that much that I can say it can't really be heard.

@ roman76r

* Version 1.4.6(b)
- Fixed a bug with synchronization of a H.264 stream and audio. This bug was appear on some streams only. When there was this bug, In a log were printed many messages "B-pyramid level 2 detected","B-pyramid level 3 detected" e.t.c.

B-pyramid level 6 detected. Shift DTS to 7 frames
B-pyramid level 7 detected. Shift DTS to 8 frames
B-pyramid level 87 detected. Shift DTS to 88 frames
B-pyramid level 89 detected. Shift DTS to 90 frames
B-pyramid level 90 detected. Shift DTS to 91 frames
B-pyramid level 205 detected. Shift DTS to 206 frames
B-pyramid level 207 detected. Shift DTS to 208 frames
B-pyramid level 208 detected. Shift DTS to 209 frames

I'm getting this error on the latest version, I've tried with older versions and still get the error which throws the audio out of sync.

Heres a sample mkv that gives this error.

Still no go with some AAC soundtracks inside MKV container as of 1.7.3. This bug has been on TSMUXER since the beginning.

Still getting the error with new version.

It is not a bug in tsMuxR. Your example contain bad frames, It leads to occurrence mistiming.
I have made small updating, now tsMuxeR will be less sensitive to bad frames in H.264. Plese, try version 1.7.4.

I was starting to think that myself, considering its the only file I've ever had a problem with using your app.
Version 1.7.4 seems to working, only one extra "B-pyramid level 2 detected" line has popped up.
I remux the whole movie and see if its in sync.


Yeah I found the bad frames thats where it starts to go out of sync, the things a lost cause, going to wipe it off my hard drive.

Thanks for trying to fix it ( well there was nothing to fix, its just I've got a duff file ).

For the decision of this problem it is necessary to write a lot of code (special AAC class handled it is necessary for AAC tracks inside MKV container). I think this feature it not so important now. I continue to work at subtitles.

Hi roman75r,
Great work, thanks for the time and work you put into this program.
BTW
I've used SupRead and generated a subtitle for a 720p project.
Interestingly when I import it into TSMuxer it says it has 1920x1080 resolution.(Maybe some problem with SupRead)
If I use this subtitle creating a blu-ray DVD then I can't switch off the subtitle in PS3.
Is it a problem in tsmuxer or do I have to do something else with the project or is it some issue with PS3.

[duramaximus]

First of all I have to say GREAT program.

I have been playing around with it a little and am wondering about the split option.

What is the split option used for. I mean, I know you can split the file into several pieces, but why?

Would this allow me to split a bluray up into several pieces and burn them onto DVD-R for playback on a regular DVD player?

Thanks,

Duramaximus

[Atak_Snajpera]

I've used SupRead and generated a subtitle for a 720p project.

Supread does not generate 720p subtitles. You get only 1080p therefore you don't see them. (subtitles are below screen)

I continue to work at subtitles.

Excellent choice

Ps3 hardrive supports only fat32. Single file cannot be larger than 4GB. In order to copy you need to use split function.

You need Blu-Ray player not DVD-player

Thanks for your reply.

So basically if I dont have a PS3 but do own a Bluray player I will never use the "Split" feature?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It's up to you. It should work if split or not
