My tests (re-posted from the multiAVCHD thread).
All of these play in my Panasonic BD60 US v1.5. Please test and report your results. These test clips were encoded with MeGUI and authored with deank's multiAVCHD Version 2.6 Build 540. SD_TEST_DS001 Source: MPEG2/AC3 NTSC broadcast 1080i 1920x1080 29.97fps, re-encoded with MeGUI x264 MKV keeping original AC3. SD_TEST_DS002 Source: MPEG2/AC3 NTSC broadcast 720P 1280x720 59.94fps, re-encoded with MeGUI x264 MKV keeping original AC3 with settings from my screenshots below. SD_TEST_DS003 Source: deank's "SAMPLE#12 - 1280x720 - 1.5MB" 24P re-encoded with my settings Main@L4 rather than High@L4.1.

Tried my first test and got an error. tried an 8+gig .m2ts file that plays fine on my computer. I've attached the error and log images. I then tried an 11meg file and it worked fine. Is there a size limit at this point, or am I getting this error for another reason? Thanks!

davisim, how about posting the mediainfo for the rencoded sample 12 from Deans source, since it is working fine now on my BD30 and was not before. Maybe we can see the differences and start eliminating them one by one to find the culprit.
In the meantime, I am going to try your MeGUI suggestion and reencode my MKVs to see what happens. Last edited by jfcarbel; 25th April 2009 at 18:56. |

And let's not hurry so much with 4GB splits and stuff... *** Original sample#12 is 1280x720@24fps (not 23.976). |

Okay, so based on Dean's mediainfo post for sample 12, it looks like profile change from High to Main and level went from 4.1 to 4.0. And a later version of x264 encoder was used.
The bitrate was actually set higher on davisim one so that should not be the cause here. anyone spot anything else? davisim, your selected the High profile, so why then does it come out as Main? UPDATE: Oh and re-frames when from 3 to 2 also. AND what is odd is the sample 10 clip plays on the BD30 yet it is profile high and level 4.1 (sample 10 mediainfo below): Quote:

I think I found something very interesting.
Since Deank's sample #10 was beginning of TV serie and the video I was working with was also TV, I still couldn't understand why it wouldn't work. So I encoded only 10s of my .mkv file using multiAVCHD, copied the AVCHD folder on the SD card into PRIVATE folder : not working (picture menu). Then I erased the files on SD card, copied AVCHD folder from Deank's sample #10 and replace ONLY the 00000.MTS file by my 00000.MTS file : it's working !!!!! Then I processed the full length video and still only replace the 00000.MTS file by the new one (which is now over 1 Gb) : I get the video menu and it's playing but only the first 10s. This means : 1. video file processed with multiAVCHD is just fine 2. folders DCIM and MISC are not needed 3. problems come from the other small files in PRIVATE folder |

These small files took me months to figure out and to make all work (to an extent) for Panasonic users. It's not easy - believe me.
I'll take a look again at this sample, because there is something special about it. I guess - because it was the first 1280x720 and I did change some things - now I can't remember because I never thought it will work. |

oh sorry, I called them small files but I know nothing about them...
I always thought it was because of the video format that it was not playing I can send you my mediainfo file but not sure it will help since first 10s are playing |
