Please, try new version: www.smlabs.net/tsMuxer/tsMuxeR_1.10.5.zip
Now I began to use information from Alpha channel of source PGS stream. It is solves 1-st problem. Also, I've chaned behaviour of "bottom-offset" option in scaling mode: now this options interpreted as addition vertical offset from original subs position.

Also when demuxing subs from a 1280x720 m2ts it resizes to 1920x1080 is this intended?

Try to change "Size" comboBox value in GUI.

The position seems fixed on those and 2 other BD's I tested on. Thanks.

As for the colored subs the orange background is gone but the letters have red spots on them which makes it hard to read

Oh I see now, if video isn't selected it defaults to 1920x1080 it looks like. Is there a way for it to use the current resolution if no video is selected?

Also since there is still 1 possibly 2 players that can't have that pesky AUXDATA directory is there a chance for an option to remove CERTIFICATE/BDJO/JAR/META directories? Maybe a checkbox defaulted off to the right of demux?

Are you sure that is error? I think it is special effect in this subs.

[turbojet]

They should be solid yellow.

The same issue came up in BDSup2Sub awhile back and I believe it had to do with Cr/Cb

One other, I think simple, feature request I had from a few weeks ago is having an input command for tsmuxergui in CLI.
Example: 'tsmuxergui test.mkv' opens tsmuxergui and loads test.mkv
My main reason for this is open with working correctly like so many other windows gui's do. Is something like this possible?

Out of interest... How difficult would it be to include the ability to convert DVD style "idx/sub" subtitles to Blu-ray "sup" subtitles?

This were great! I searching for a tool that have this ability!

[BlackJack1]

Thanks for new version.
Is possible to include button for forcing "turn on" subtitles on standalone players in Blu-ray format please?

[jefrey]

whats about an option like "always subtitle on" for some forced subs or if i wanna to have some subs forced, that they stay always on (can only switched of by remote)

[BlackJack1]

Agree.

Roman
Can you do this please...

Now, I've find a bug with color subtitles. Please, try again:

Added in this version.

I plan to add ASS/SSA and DVD subs as next feature.

I'm playing AVCHD from hdd on powerdvd9 just fine. I assume you don't output an avchd video then put it in iso container then try to play it? because I play it by selecting the folder "BDMV", and if it playing fine such as audio sync ok and subtitle show, i'll then burn it to dvd.
There are actually 4 folders I must need to delete before powerdvd9 play output from tsmuxer 1.8.4:
BDJO+JAR+META+AUXDATA.

i'm using powerdvd 9.0.1501 ultra.

You're most definitely "the man"...

that's awesome. I've been waiting for DVD subs support for quite some time

Thanks, both work great now.
DVD subs are dvd sup files?
Is vobsub input possible?
Dp you have any thoughts on 'strict AVCHD output' option which deletes the empty directories for a few players?

Also I see vertical offset affects sup files too, this could have some unwanted results for sup files.
Would it be possible to split srt and sup vertical offsets and set sup offset to 0 by default?

Oh I wasn't aware they brought back HDD playback but you are right it will play without those directories but only LPCM\AC3 audio.

Adding support for DVD subtitles isn't good idea, because upscaling subtitles is same as upscaling DVD to BD.

What do you mean? Surely scaling subtitles from 480p to 1080p doesn't make them unreadable? I've never tried but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't.

I mean like i said, quality of upscaled subs will be awful.

Yes, I also thought about this. So I'll plan to move vertical offset parameter to the "track options" tab for sup subtitles.

Good idea.

I mean dvd sup. Seemingly vobsub possible too, now I need to read more about bitstream syntax of these formats.

As far as I'm concerned, the quality of a subtitle only needs to be such that I can read it, can't say I'm that bothered if the edges of the letters don't blow me away with their sharpness.

If you're making custom subs, DVD subtitles are much easier to create and are more likely to have been created already by someone else saving a lot of time. OK, so the quality might not be great but who cares if it's only 10-20 captions throughout the whole film.

Also, it's just a feature, it's not like you have to use it! If you don't need it or don't like it, fine but that isn't a reason to not give others the option.

Oh I forgot to mention a --strict or something in mux-opt of the meta file would be useful too.

I think srt is much better suited for this task but I couldn't agree more with you on having the option as well as having the option with vobsub from dvd that will look even worse but still readable.

Sort of unrelated is there currently isn't a direct BD sup -> DVD sup tool, let alone a tool that can encode BD to something playable in DVD players. It would be very useful for enthusiasts that are planning to upgrade to BD but not quite ready and currently buying DVD because they can only play it. Or people that already own a BD player but they also want to be able to play the movie on DVD players. I realize menus are more less impossible to convert but I'm surprised there's no movie only tool yet.
