smartLabs tsMuxeR: Transport Stream muxer

[aklendathu]

I just did "Terminator 3" conversion and got working subtitles on PS3 (but not working in PDVD) with this SUPread settings:
Frame Rate=29.97, Type=Non-drop
Video was VC-1 and I didn't remove pulldown in TsMuxer. Actually, when I check "remove pulldown" on in TsMuxer on VC-1 video, playback is stuttering on PS3, although is fine on PC.

Was that with the latest TsMuxeR?

I always run VC-1 video through VC1Conv - it removes the pulldown and changes the framerate back to 24p/1001.

[jfmartins]

Use split function and remux to m2ts. Import first m2ts and remux to blu-ray. Then second m2ts and so on.

So simple :p,,,, i feel like a newbi .... well i am :thanks:

Hello,

I have a video (x264 + AAC) that TSMuxer can only open video track ("Some tracks not recognized. This tracks was ignored") : My x264 + AAC sample (http://nsv13.free.fr/avidemux/Test1.x264.HP.He-Aac.{Fr}.mkv) (2MB).

What's the problem ?

TSmuxer does not support AAC!

[EPiPH0NE]

That´s easy to tell it´s already "a wonder" you can use more than 2GB sized WAV-Files. The 4GB wall is already a tricked version of original WAV. This is because of file-format-restrictions.
Good old billyboy didn´t think that file-format would become that famous.

On the other hand....4GB of WAV is a LOT!
I guess....it´s a full movie in WAV right?
Isn´t there a way you can go to "flac" instead WAV?


Yes >4GB is a whole DTS-MA -> WAV transcode. Multi channel FLAC is not supported on the NMT as of yet. I have been successful in splitting the M2TS files into <4GB chunks and then doing the DTS-MA -> WAV conversion but cannot rejoin the files with tsMuxeR w/o it crapping out and giving the error I posted above. I have tried inputing these WAV's into Scenarist BDA 4.2 but MUI generator doesn't like the channel config that's in the WAV headers.

Hello,

I have a quick question for you guys...I've finally gotten english subs hardcoded to my AVCHD DVD-R DL 1080p MKV copy of Vexille...the only problem is that when I remux the video, audio & .srt files w/tsMuxeR, the subs are slightly too low...part is off the screen...under the "Subtitles" options there are several options & I wanted to know which ones I needed to adjust to fix my problem...there is the Addition border, pixel: 1
what will that change? Also, I know I need to adjust the Vertical Position: Bottom Offset Pixels: 16
but which way do I go? Do I need more or less? I would say 3/4 quarters of the words are below the screen w/the default settings. I would really appreciate any help I can get, I'm soooooooo close!!
Thanks

You need to increase "Bottom Offset". By how much you'll have to find you yourself by trial&error... it depends on your font face and size.

Yes, with latest 1.8.4.
I don't care about p/i, 'cause, first, it's just a flag, second, my TV does inverse pulldown and then speed up with double (triple?) interpolated frames.

TSmuxer does not support AAC!
Supported audio codecs: - AAC (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1091633#post1091633)
But I'm personally don't use AAC so can't confirm that.

The problem with NSV's "My x264 + AAC sample", is that the AAC audio is "1Ch" AAC-HE :eek:

Yes but those flags are evil! They need to go!!!
Stupid HD DVD "feature" - soiling perfectly good progressive 23.976 fps video with idiotic flags pulldown=1, interlaced=1 and fps=29.97... I'm really glad that HD DVD is a thing of the past!

I use vc1conv too, btw, because using the "remove pulldown" function in tsMuxeR has resulted in (BluRay-) videos that go jerky after an hour or so of continuous playback in PDVD (in spite of ReClock being active).

Sounds pointless without any explanation. :)
If we're talking about TVs, then they can't show at REFRESH RATE 24Hz, 'cause it's flickering as hell. At their best they can:
- do 2:2 pulldown
- do 2:3 pulldown
- interpolates frames at double (triple) rate
I prefer last ones. :)

@roman

Do you have an idea when DVBSUB is ready ?

I can understand that it can take times it because I read the specification and for me is not easy !!

If you need a beta tester don't hesitate to tell me !!

[Momber]

Sounds pointless without any explanation. :)
The flags are grossly wrong! Grossly wrong equals "evil". What else is there to explain? The video is neither interlaced, nor should it suffer from a mandatory 2:3 jerkdown, nor is it encoded at 29.970 fps (if we're talking about cinematic movies here). How much more wrong can they be?

If we're talking about TVs
Well I'm not talking about TVs, but proper home theatres, with a projector running at an exact multiple of 23.976 and a player, such as a properly configured HTPC with PowerStrip and ReClock, who is feeding the projector just that.

No offense, but anything else is just a compromise.

HTPC (and other PC) always treates pulldown flag in proper way.
P.S. For me projector is nothing else than just a compromise to contrast, sharpness, black/white level and convenience. I've chose 70" samsung LCD. :)

[Momber]

Yeah, unless you have to rely on the likes of Cyberlink to fix other people's mistakes (e. g. of the braindead HD DVD inventors). LOL. They can't even fix their own bugs.

All the VC-1 streams I've remuxed to BluRay and played back with PDVD8 so far without removing those flags have caused trouble, either in the muxing process itself, or during playback. None of the VC-1 streams processed with vc1conv before muxing have caused trouble. That's all the proof I need...

[Momber]

You need to run the final DTS file another time through eac3to to remove the zero padding.

That sorted it! Thanks a lot, madshi!
Sounds bloody nice, too, btw. Transcoded using -libav.

TsMuxer removes pulldown from H.264 and MPEG-2 just fine, but not from VC-1.

Atak,

Thanks man, got it working flawlessly!! Thanks for the heads up!! I increased the size & vertical height (I also switched to Tahoma which looks better but I probably should've gone w/Comic since I'm using an anime movie) The only problem (not really a problem) is that the subs have to be chosen instead of hard-coded. The audio is Japanese so I will always need the subs. Do you know what I would need to do to hard-code them? :thanks:!!

~Vince

[crazyfool30]

You need to get VSFilter.dll (google it) and include in your avisynth script:

loadplugin("D:\VSFilter.dll")
TextSub("D:\ExampleSubtitle.srt")

The file paths are just an example, you need to change them to wherever your .dll and subtitle files are saved.

Hey how can I get the video of my 1080p file to play properly on the PS3?
I remuxed my 1080p mkv file with AC3 sound in Tsmuxer.
It plays normaly on my PC but on the PS3 there is a black screen.I heard the same problem mentioned somewhere before.
Is there a way to make the file play properly?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Re-encode :)

[Momber]

You would need to re-encode your entire video! Very time consuming and accompanied by a loss of PQ.

But like I mentioned earlier, it would be nice to have an option in tsMuxeR to set any subtitles to "forced" while muxing to BluRay...

Is there any way we could get multi mono WAV support added to tsMuxeR so we could get around the >4GB WAV limit?

It works for me; it removes pulldown from VC-1 as well.

[rebkell]

I'm having a terrible time with it, I've tried to encode '300' to x264 several times and each time, the video is jerky, which I assume is the Pull Down problem. I've tried graphs, muxed m2ts, dumuxed vc1, and just a plain copy of m2ts from anydvd and I ran the vc1 through vc1conv and it's always jumpy and stutters.

Hi,

Q1) Have you tried with other VC-1 sources?

Q2) Don't you see any jitter if you don't remove pulldown?

Q3) If you can cut it (as is), please upload a small piece so i'll give it a try.

[Slipshod]

@Roman76r

Would it be possible for you to add more options to the CLI version? I'm trying to automate some video processing from my R5000, and your tool works great if I use the GUI. Unfortunately, I don't see a way to automate the whole process easily via CLI. Ideally, I'd like it to be able to demux+create metafile so I can remux with the same metafile and keep audio in sync after mucking with the MPEG-2 video stream.

For anybody curious, I have two playback devices which are only flag-based for deinterlacing, so the "Progressive or Interlaced" flag on my video stream is causing horrible deinterlacing artifacts since the playback device is treating it as progressive video when it's really interlaced. If I strip the progressive flags everything plays back fine. In a perfect world you'd fix all of my problems and turn the whole demux/strip/remux process into a single CLI command, but that seems fairly niche.

Cheers,
Slipshod

Has anyone managed to add AAC audio into tsmuxer? If so, how was the stream produced and was it a raw stream or within a container?
I tried last night with a short multi-channel clip created via MeGUI using Nero encoder, but tsmuxer would not recognise it. I tried different file extensions and even tried muxing to mkv first but nothing worked :confused:

Cheers, Beastie.

I've converted "300" from HD-DVD to Blu-Ray with TsMuxer just fine without "remove pulldown" option. If I check "remove pulldown" on, I got stuttering on PS3. And with other VC-1 HD-DVD.

Hi Beastie,

Elementary (.aac) 2Ch and 6Ch AAC-LC and HE streams work fine with TSmuxer ;)

[Beastie Boy]

Elementary (.aac) 2Ch and 6Ch AAC-LC and HE streams work fine with TSmuxer ;)

Thanks for the info. How do I produce the raw .aac stream. The AAC FAQ mentions FAAC encoder and Ivan and Menno front end. Is this the only way, or can the elementary stream be extracted from a mp4 or mpa container? I'm not very familiar with the AAC format, but am seeking a way to preserve as much quality as possible from the lossless HD audio formats, but without wasting space on LPCM files.

Cheers, Beastie.

Edit, on AudioCoding.com thet say "Note that the quality of FAAC is not up to par with the currently best AAC encoders available." Is there any way to produce raw AAC for tsMuxer using Nero encoder?

[Atak_Snajpera]

I use CT-AAC in my app and it produces raw aac.

that didn't work, selected the input, output, set to remove pulldown, pressed start and program just sits there doing nothing.

TsMuxer removes pulldown from H.264 and MPEG-2 just fine, but not from VC-1.
tsmuxer wasn't able to remove pulldown from Old School HD-DVD h264 steam, end result was a file with a lot of corruption and it seems to be skipping more then half the frames.

[EPiPH0NE]

Please add *.lpcm as accepted extension for LPCM. I would like to be able to add LPCM tracks created with:


eac3to.exe soucre.m2ts destination.lpcm


If you need a sample please let me know.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Rename to *.pcm

Doesn't matter now. I now have Scenarist BDA 4.3, only had 4.2 before, where I can easily use multiple mono waves -> LPCM so I will just wait for multi mono wave support in tsMuxeR which should be soon cause it's only grayed out in the demux options right now so tsMuxeR should be working for DTS-MA/TrueHD -> LPCM hopefully soon :)

Studio created LPCM tracks work fine in tsMuxeR just not the WAV/LPCM tracks that you create yourself with eac3to. tsMuxer needs to incorporate multi mono wav input to work around the >4GB WAV limit. What I am tryin to do has NOTHING to do with TsRemux.

[NanoBot]

Hi,

http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1126872&postcount=1059

I would like to second this feature request. ATM I use the tsMuxeR to demultiplex HDTV DVB captures ( h.264 / AC3 ), then I use h264info to set the cropping flags in the h.264 headers to 1920x1080 and finally I remultiplex the streams to matroska. I would be happy if the change of the cropping flag could be done on-the-fly during the demultiplexing process, since it would save me one step and about 15 minutes of time in my workflow.

Aaah I understand you now :) So you try to convert TrueHD tracks to LPCM... good idea... Which options do you use in Eac3to to convert these tracks to LPCM?

[Beastie Boy]

Which options do you use in Eac3to to convert these tracks to LPCM?

Just use .pcm as the extension for the output file

eac3to input.*** output.pcm
