I have problem with TS-Files. The A/V-Delay is not calculated correct.

Is the Source of your Programm available ?
If not, how you calculate the PCR (what is changed /different to TsRemux) ?

Thank you.

Why? every reveicer today could handle dts. And tsmuxer make a downconvert. So why?

Nobody needs it really

only as I i media stream to 4 rooms , 3 of which just have HD tv's
no AV recievers , so just me being lazy:devil:

and this would make it the only tool I required
at the moment I have to demux and m2ts stream ,

convert the DTS to AC3 in media coder and remux to m2ts ,
for use by my popcorn media tanks

now if I could do it with this one tool !!!!!:):thanks:

There seem to be more than a few MKV files that have the DAR encoded in the container and the aspect ratio is missing from the video stream (a 264 stream for example).

tsMuxer doesn't seem to read the DAR from the MKV container and write that to the ts container, thus some movies are muxed with the wrong aspect ratio (the actual ratio of the encoded video instead of correct display ratio). An example:

Input MKV
Video #0
Codec : MPEG-4 AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG4 ISO advanced profile
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 432 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 2.35

Output M2TS
Video #0
Codec : AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG-4 AVC
Width : 704 pixels
Height : 432 pixels
Display Aspect ratio : 1.630

Can tsMuxer be updated to read and thus write the original container DAR, or otherwise, is there a tool that can write the correct DAR to the ts output that tsMuxer generates?

:thanks: Thanks.

Yes. I have started to improve subtitles support in tsMuxR.
I plan the following:
1. Add .srt subtitles support and ability to convert srt to PGS
2. Add dvd subtitles support and ability to convert srt to SUB.
3. Ability to convert SUB to PGS
4. Add HD-DVD subtitles, ability to convert HD-DVD subtitles to DVD SUB or PGS.
5. Add other txt based subtitles

Very impressive list! Would be cool if there was later on also an option to only extract forced subtitles (if they are not in a seperate stream).

Btw: Now that BD edit has correct chapter export (see below), would you please consider adding millisecond support for chapters?

@roman have you had a chance to take a look at my samples i uploaded yet? i still am getting a black screen and no sound with all my 1080 files when creating bluray structure/avchd dvd regardless of what format they are in even original files straight from bluray without encoding give the same result. this is very odd as all my files will play on my pc and if streamed to the ps3 and also from ext usb. btw all files will play in avchd dvd/bluray structure if created by
tsremux any ideas :confused:

ps this problem is apparent also with latest Version 1.7.1(b)

Hi roman i have done some tests and found the reason i am getting
a black screen and no sound with 1080 files. the reason is tsmuxer
is not producing an CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file for 1080 files only for 720. i took the CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file from a structure created with tsremux and dropped it into the structure tsmuxer created and it plays when burnt to avchd the problem is 1080 = no CLIPINF & PLAYLIST file can you fix this please :D

EDIT: Nevermind the newest version seems to work fine thanks :)

* Version 1.7.1(b)[/URL]
- Bug fixed: Now pulldown info correctly processed.
- Ability to remove pulldown info from stream added. All video codecs are supported: H.264, VC-1, MPEG2.
Now 30fps MPEG-2 video stream with pulldown processed even strange. Resulting TS can't play correct even on PC. Video is playing at about 12 fps (very low CPU load) and audio is stuttering that much that I can say it can't really be heard.

It is not a bug in tsMuxR. Your example contain bad frames, It leads to occurrence mistiming.
I have made small updating, now tsMuxeR will be less sensitive to bad frames in H.264. Plese, try version 1.7.4.
http://www.smlabs.net/tsMuxer/tsMuxeR_1.7.4(b).zip

I was starting to think that myself, considering its the only file I've ever had a problem with using your app.
Version 1.7.4 seems to working, only one extra "B-pyramid level 2 detected" line has popped up.
I remux the whole movie and see if its in sync.

Yeah I found the bad frames thats where it starts to go out of sync, the things a lost cause, going to wipe it off my hard drive.

Thanks for trying to fix it ( well there was nothing to fix, its just I've got a duff file ).

For the decision of this problem it is necessary to write a lot of code (special AAC class handled it is necessary for AAC tracks inside MKV container). I think this feature it not so important now. I continue to work at subtitles.

Hi roman75r,
Great work, thanks for the time and work you put into this program.
BTW
I've used SupRead and generated a subtitle for a 720p project.
Interestingly when I import it into TSMuxer it says it has 1920x1080 resolution.(Maybe some problem with SupRead)
If I use this subtitle creating a blu-ray DVD then I can't switch off the subtitle in PS3.
Is it a problem in tsmuxer or do I have to do something else with the project or is it some issue with PS3.

First of all I have to say GREAT program.

I have been playing around with it a little and am wondering about the split option.

What is the split option used for. I mean, I know you can split the file into several pieces, but why?

Would this allow me to split a bluray up into several pieces and burn them onto DVD-R for playback on a regular DVD player?

Thanks,

Supread does not generate 720p subtitles. You get only 1080p therefore you don't see them. (subtitles are below screen)

I continue to work at subtitles.
Excellent choice :)

Ps3 hardrive supports only fat32. Single file cannot be larger than 4GB. In order to copy you need to use split function.

You need Blu-Ray player not DVD-player :)

I was trying to do so with TsMuxeR, but some how the Haali can't seen to find the audio track.. anyone know why?

Is that the problem of Haali (since LPCM support is incomplete) or will that be TsMuxeR?

Delay for sound tracks calculated as difference between PTS time of video and audio tracks. Your example contain next values:
8229871752 - first video PTS (pid 110)
8230479071 - first audio PTS (pid 121)
difference: (8230479071-8229871752)/90 = 6747ms

Hi,

I just tried to read and understand all the posts in this 47 pages long thread, but have still some questions about tsMuxeR.

Untill now, I have been using tsMuxeR to multiplex my H.264/AVC encodes with AC3 audio to M2TS files that can be played on my PS3 from a Storage Card, External Hard Disk Drive or the internal HDD.

Now, I am testing with the new output to "Create Blu-ray disk" feature and managed to create a "Blu-ray DVD" that plays on my PS3. I tried it with a VC-1 videostream (converted with asf2vc1.exe from an ASF demuxed video) and AC3 audio and it worked. Great!

But now, I still have some technical questions:

1. Does tsMuxeR put the correct frame rate of the multiplexed video's into the BDMV File Structure? I noticed that my 23,976fps based video played @ 60Hz instead of 24 Hz? My original 1080p24 Blu-ray disks do playback @ 1080p24. Maybe it's because my video wasn't 1920x1080, but only 1920x816 (with the typical green border on the bottom)?

2. Is it possible to create an AVCHD DVD or Blu-ray disk BDMV File Structure that can be played on a PS3 from a Storage Card or an External Hard Disk Drive instead of a DVD or BD disk? Nero Vision 5 seems to be able to do this, but supports only AVCHD M2TS files with 1080i 25fps PAL interlaced or 1080i 30fps NTSC interlaced based videos.

3. Would it be possible to let tsMuxeR just add black borders to videos with a resolution of 1280x504 or 1920x816?

Many thanks in advance and keep up the good work!

You can check BDMV files (include fps) in bdEdit.

I don't know what differences should contain BDMV files played with different media sources. I think, that the difference is not present.

It is possible. But I does not plan this feature in the nearest time.

You can use tsMuxeR in batch files directly. I have plan to add to tsMuxeR new fake track type "M_ALL". This feature will help to create batch files for remuxing all tracks from source media files.

7th April 2008, 00:59

Roman,

Thank you for your quick answers :)

You can check BDMV files (include fps) in bdEdit.

I did a quick test by adding a demuxed 1080i PAL 25fps HDV to tsMuxeR, together with AC3 sound. When I launched the 'Blu-ray DVD' from the XMB interface, my PS3 switched from 60Hz to 50Hz playback. Very nice!

I don't know what differences should contain BDMV files played with different media sources. I think, that the difference is not present.

Unfortunately, the Blu-ray BDMV File Structure created by tsMuxeR can only be recognized by the PS3 when it is burned as a DVD5 or DVD9 in the UDF 2.50 format.

This is very strange, because when I copy the BDMV File Structure of an AVCHD DVD created by Nero Vision 5 into a root folder called 'AVCHD' of a FAT32 formatted Storage Card or USB Drive, my PS3 does recognize the BDMV File Structure as an AVCHD DVD when you open the Storage Card or USB Drive from the XMB interface.

There must be some limitation by using real Blu-ray Disk structure instead of using 'AVCHD DVD' format?

My idea was to multiplex to a Blu-ray Disk instead of just creating M2TS files. The major advantage of using the BDMV File Structure is that you can also play VC-1 encoded video on the PS3, use menu's and last but not least control the refresh rate at which the PS3 play your video's:

- 1920x1080 23,976fps or 24fps should be played @ 1080p24
- 1280x720 23,976fps of 24fps should be played @ 720p60, 1090i60 or 1080p60 using 3:2 pulldown by the display panel
- 25fps should be played @ 720p50, 1080i50 or 1080p50
- 30fps should be played @ 720p60, 1080i60 or 1080p60

IMHO, this is really important for judder-free playback.

If you're really serious about this, then I suggest you look into obtaining some sort of commercial application. I doubt that an author of open source software would be interested in creating any HD-DVD authoring applications. I know HD-DVD was a great format but unfortunately for people like yourself, it doesn't have the future that Blu-ray does.

Ulead and Cyberlink make software that allows for easy HD-DVD authoring and it's focused on the consumer market (fairly priced and not too complicated).

Roman76R,

Just a quick message to thank you for the work you have done on tsMuxeR.

Today, I managed to create a Blu-ray BDMV File Structure containing 1920x1080 @ 23,976fps based H.264/AC3 video's that instructs my PS3 to send the video via HDMI to my Pioneer Plasma TV @ 1080@24p, just like with commercial Blu-ray Discs. A breakthrough!

Yesterday, I already managed to put both native PAL HDV 25fps 1440x1080i and native PAL AVCHD 25fps 1440x1080i camcorder footage to play with the PS3 @ 50Hz. Great!

The only things I would like to see is:
1. A very simple menu where you can select which video you want to play
2. The ability to play the authored BDMV File Structure with my PS3 directly from a Storage Card, USB Stick or external Hard Disk Drive.

For the second option, you will need to add a new option "Create AVCHD Disk". It seems that the PS3 can only recognize the BDMV File Structure from a 'AVCHD DVD' generated by an AVCHD camcorder or Nero Vision when read from a FAT32 formatted Storage Card, USB Stick or External Hard Disk Drive. For the moment I have to stick with Nero Vision 5 when I want to do something like that.

Many thanks for the nice software and keep up the good work :)

I don't think that's the problem because currently I am testing with small HDV and AVCHD samples (M2TS files are not bigger than 200MB).

However, when I look at the BDMV File Structure generated by Nero Vision 5, I see that in the \BDMV\STREAM folder there are files called 00000.MTS, 00001.MTS, ... instead of M2TS files?

The BDMV File Structure is a bit different too:

\BDMV
\BDMV\BACKUP (INDEX.BDM, MOVIEOBK.BDM)
\BDMV\BACKUP\CLIPINF (00000.CPI, 00001.CPI, ...)
\BDMV\CLIPINF\PLAYLIST (00000.MPL, 00001.MPL, ...)
\BDMV\PLAYLIST (00000.MPL, 00001.MPL, ...)
\BDMV\STREAM (00000.MTS, 00001.MTS, ...)
INDEX.BDM
MOVIEOBK.BDM

To let the PS3 recognize & play this 'AVCHD DVD' BDMV File Structure directly from a FAT32 formatted Storage Card, USB Stick or Ext HDD, you need to put the complete BDMV File Structure under a root folder called 'AVCHD':

e.g. I:\AVCHD\BDMV\...

@roman76r, you seem to be doing a great job here!

My personal favourite container currently is Matroska. Mainly for the following two reasons:

(1) FLAC support.
(2) The ability to give audio tracks a name.

Now I'm wondering: Do you think there's a chance to extend the TS specification somehow to allow muxing of FLAC tracks (without transcoding them to something else) and giving audio tracks a name? Is there a central place where such TS format extensions are discussed and agreed upon? Of course it would be bad if every programmer invented his own way of adding new things to the TS container...
