Some more changes in Build 419:
Options to change TOP text: size/offset and credits/footer size (credits offset seem not to work). Thumbnails are set now to 100% jpeg quality. Last edited by deank; 24th February 2009 at 14:57. |

It's a bit tricky It is okay now. Font colors in Muxer tab are also shown. If you click to select color and then cancel selection - color won't default to GRAY as in previous builds.
[x] Create top menu is fixed and will no longer be auto-set on loading. In previous builds it is always selected, no matter if you last used [x] No menu. *** Guide is updated. Download links, too. Last edited by deank; 24th February 2009 at 14:56. |

I'm a bit concerned about the following:
I suspect that AVCHD playback on Panasonic TV/BD via SD card is restricted to: * 1920x1080 / 1440x1080 @ 24p/50i/60i * 1280x720 @ 24p/50p/60p * 720x480 @ 60i * 720x576 @ 50i That means that 1920x1080p @ 23.976 should work and you don't need 25fps as it is not supported in progressive but only in interlaced mode. About dec-pvr's comment: Yes, I believe that DD upto 6 channels (5.1) is supported (and LPCM of upto 8 channels 7.1 too), probably my sample gave the error was because it had DTS sound, which is not supported in AVCHD. I'll try with some samples that conform AVCHD standard. I think BD SAP players use a bit more relaxed standard when playing from optical media, but not when it comes to playback from a SD card. If there is someone who can shoot a sample 10sec clip with HD camera and these settings: 1280x720@24fps and 1920x1080@24p and send it to me - it will be great.

deank, sorry to stray a little off topic but as you were recently talking about your experience.
But out of curiosity do you think it will be possible to convert retail menus into something like your menus that play on nearly every standalone? If so, how difficult do you think the task will be? |

Converting is a hard thing to do.
You can always generate a menu with multiAVCHD and then replace the original menus and index/movieobj. Few changes are needed to make menus use correct playlists but it is not that hard. |

OK thanks for the info. I guess if I want retail menus and extras my only option then is a Sony BD player when I go looking for one in a few months. At least for the forseeable future unless another player comes out.

They were original and encoded (with BD-RB) HDMV menus. Neither would play in magnavox\phillips, samsung or panasonic player with a red laser. multiAVCHD menus do though, which I can't quite understand. HDMV menus I would think would be the first step in 'converting or fixing' with more complex BD-J menus hopefully later on.
edit: Could it be the set stream calls in retail menus that are the difference or the popup type menus? Other than that I can't see retail menus being any different then multiAVCHD menus on the surface but it probably gets deeper then that. Last edited by turbojet; 25th February 2009 at 13:05. |

multiAVCHD menu/structure works with almost all players because it follows strictly the AVCHD standard and all players should support AVCHD playback using optical media (red laser DVD).
On the other hand - original BD files are not supposed to work when burnt to DVD - but it seems that in most cases it is firmware restriction of the player, not inability to process such files. Is there any chance that you upload the whole BDMV folder without the m2ts files (but leave only menu m2ts files)? --- There are setstream commands in multiAVCHD output, too. And pop-up menus are just menu pages, so I doubt this is the problem. |

It is possible to have 2 or 3 more pages for a total of 36 or 40 titles but I need to reprogram the title editor page as there is no space for more than 2 x 14 text labels. I may do this when I have the time, but most people would rarely use it...

No, there is no limitation of how many menu pages will be used. However there is a limit of the number of buttons/navigation placeholders that can appear in a single menu page and they cannot exceed 15 (I don't remember the exact number but I think it is about 15).

You are using REALLY old version - that's why it won't start.
Go to first post and download the latest. The message about height compliance is not an error but a notice. At this point nothing can be done. Last edited by deank; 25th February 2009 at 17:24. |
