Blu-Ray to WVC1 for 360 playback

[bluesk1d]

Well I will be attempting my first Blu-Ray backup (I've done all my HD DVDs with relative ease). I am not sure on the following:

1. What do people recommend for blu-ray ts files that's similar to EVOdemux for EVOs?

2. How do you determine the audio/video delay values for streams in a ts file so you dont have sync nightmares later on?

3. How do you normally construct your graphs?

4. What is the framerate to use in the directshowsource line of the avs file? HD DVDs are always 23.976 so they are easy.

5. How do you determine the framecount to use in your avs file (similar to calculated frames in EVOdemux)?

Thanks for any tips!

1. To demux the Audio ,use Xport
No need to demux the Video because you can encode directly from the the m2ts.
Also you can use graphedit to demux the m2ts Stream
Filesource(async)-SonicHDDemuxer-Dump

2. Its sync without Delay... i cant remember any AC3/DTS/LPCM Audio or reencode with a delay

3.As i say, you can encode Video from the m2ts. It works perfekt because the m2ts (h264/Vc1/Mpeg2) Output is already 23.976 fps with correct Framecount instead of HDDVD with 29.976 fps (Pulldown) and Framecount determination Issues

I use for m2ts bluray VC1/ H264/Mpeg2 :

Filesource(async)-SonicHDDemuxer-SonicCinemasterVideoDecoder4.3

I use sonic because its a reference Decoder which can handle all Streams including H264 with PAFF Streams and most problematic H264 Streams.
Ofcourse you can demux the Video stream with Xport ot Graphedit and use dgindex or dgavc.
Or you can use ffdhow directly on the m2ts or CyberlinkH264 Decoder for H264....Maybe you have to change another Decodin Graph on mome Problematic Streams when you get Blocking etc

4. / 5. The grf gives you correct 23.976FPS with correct frames from all Codecs used for BluRay.
No need for a framecout= Value with any Decoder Graph on all Codecs

AVS Import with the grf from above :

Directshowsource("C:/xxx.grf",audio=false,fps=23.976)

For the Audio reencoding:
DTS(HD) : eac3to (lossless DTS HD MAS de/encoding or dts core extraction)
AC3 : no need for reencoding
LPCM : eac3to
TrueHD: eac3to (lossless de/encoding or AC3 core extraction)

So you see Bluray encoding is easy compared with EVO Container :)

Yes as long as it's not Ratatouille with its 65 m2ts files including multiple decoys :angry:

(BTW: What do you use to combine your m2ts files before demuxing? Another guide said to use the copy /B command which seemed to work...)

Thanks Crowley, you're a genius! I'd been having problems with the Spider-Man trilogy since xport seems to add in an unspecified audio delay when creating the .mpa and .mpv files. This method removes those synch problems.

Yes use copy /b then run through tsremux i think to fix timestamps or something like that - worked for me flawlessly

[bluesk1d]

Do you know how to run the product of the copied M2TSs through tsremux? The timestamps are indeed screwed up. Documentation is scarce.

[eas4uk]

Yes import it into tsremux - then just remux as .m2ts/.ts depending on what you need - if your following ACrowley's guide may as well leave it as .m2ts
