Strange problem muxing HD DVDs and Blu-rays into mkv

[rickardk]

Done alot of remuxing (HD DVDs and Blu-rays) into mkv container. Some titles have glitches and rainbow frames when remuxed into mkv.

One example was Ratatouille Blu-ray (AVC). At 40min and 30s there are some strange frames. Looks scambled. When watching the joined m2ts there is no problem.
Same problem reported by other user who also tried to remux into mkv.

Remuxed Million Dollar Baby HD DVD (VC-1) yesterday. It did show the same problem. But when watching the evo no problems.

Revolver Blu-ray shows same problem. BUT if you first demux video and audio then mux it with gdsmux the problem is gone. BUT you get a none searchable file. Tried to open in mkvmerge to rewrite timestamp. But mkvmerge fails.

Is this a mux, codec or splitter problem?



Some tiles have glitches and "rainbow frames". Looks
scambled.

A few titles giving error are:
Million Dollar Baby HD DVD [VC-1]
Ratatouille Blu-ray [AVC]
Revolver Blu-ray



For example Ratatouille:
If I remux the joined m2ts with gdsmux I get a mkv
file that does NOT have this "rainbow frame" problem.
But the mkv is unsearchable.
Windows Media Player hangs on exit or when trying to
jump forward/back.


If I first extract the AVC stream from the joined m2ts
with xport or tsremux. And then mux the AVC stream
with mkvmerge I get a searchable file but it contains
this "rainbow frame" problem.


If I try to rewrite timestamp with mkvmerge on a mkv
created by gdsmux. Then mkvmerge hangs with this
error:

Error: Packet queue not empty for new track ID 1
(flushed: 0). Frames have been lost during remux. This
should not have happened. Please contact the author
Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org> with this
error/warning message, a description of what you were
trying to do, the command line used and which
operating system you are using. Thank you.



Any idea on how to mux thoose titles without problems?



Anyone who know?

for rainbow frames you can add the basic instinct blu-ray (AVC) and the 1st band of brother (japanese HD DVD) episode (AVC)

OK, found your thread. :) Have you tried using GDSMux in GraphEdit and muxing it with that? I remember reading somewhere that it's the only one that can currently mux it. You can then re-mux the timecodes with mkvmerge.

dgsmux just works on some titles. Sometimes it hangs and sometimes it produce a unsearchable mkv. BUT it does not introduce rainbow frames as when using mkvmerge

Such rainbow frames stuff could come from a unpredicted colorspace conversion for example :) "Directshow is Evil and most of the times unpredictable if you don't have full control over it you know" :D
