momber, this is what i told:
At least you should try when you meet with a VC1file. (I sometimes removed pulldown from some HD-DVD VC1 files using vc1conv while i couldn't do it with TSMuxer.)

As i told before i have just one VC1 BD without flag, so i have had no chance yet to give it a try with another one.

Not with the current eac3to version because it only removes the video "sequence end codes" when remuxing to MKV and not when demuxing the video track. That will be fixed with the next eac3to version. But TsMuxer can also handle MKV files. So letting eac3to remux to MKV and then TsMuxer remux to m2ts isn't really a disadvantage, I think.

Great , that means i have to do all my seemless branching movies all over again.

Could i just run the remuxed files from my hard drives back in eac3to and remux to MKV then back to m2ts with tsmuxer or do i have to take the original split files from the blu-ray discs with the playlist and do it over again?

Already remuxed aren't good. You need the original files, so eac3to can detect the gaps/overlaps from the timestamps in the .m2ts files.

Even though eac3to already detected gaps/overlaps when demuxing the files the first time?

So does this just effect the video and not audio? Could i just take my already converted dts track that was converted with eac3to and remux to mkv while doing the original files? Or do i just run the original m2ts files through eac3to and just mux the video to mkv then take mkv and run it through tsmuxer with the dts track to make a m2ts movie file?

Not sure you are using Graphedit to play those, are you?
Or you are missing something.

NOPE! May be the problem.
But... I have to say...where is to find a comprehensive guide for the programm?!

To that comes...I don´t have graphedit and have never ever used it. And finally I don´t have a clou, why and where I have to use graphedit.

What do you want from me??? :p

I've just discovered this tool and find it excellent, thank you. All playlists I've tried to remux/demux that contain the same m2ts file listed more than once results in the message: File name <file> already exists, where <file> is the filename of the m2ts file that is listed more than once. Of course the file exists, it is (part of) the source. I'm a n00b with this tool so have probably failed at something simple. Any suggestions?

Have you just demuxed the video (and audio) streams? If that's true (and you used an eac3to version with seamless branching support), then your audio tracks are fine. You only need to deal with video, but i don't know if "sequence end code" removal will work for demuxed streams.

Yes thats correct, i take the original m2ts files and demux both the video and audio streams using the newest eac3to then take the files and put them through tsmuxer and remux to m2ts.

Well i hope madshi gets the new version done that will allow us to demux the tracks separate and still have the "sequence end code" removal work and not have to mux them to a mkv and then to a m2ts.

I noticed that TsMuxer 1.8.4b skipped a packet demuxing an HD DVD (Bourne Ultimatum US FEATURE_1.EVO). This packet appears to have been skipped. There may be a good reason. Just curious.

I was expecting this sequence to be in the .vc1 file, but it appears to be missing. There are a few other "missing" packets as well.

Search back through this thread. You'll find a program that automatically renames the files to the correct format.

Other than that you just need to put the Blu-ray structure folders inside of a directory named "AVCHD" that is in the root of the drive.

(1) Let eac3to remux the video to MKV and do to the audio tracks whatever you want.
See, I don't want to do anything to the audio tracks! But eac3to does - it tried to re-encode my BluRay PCM to FLAC, which is of course totally useless for later use in a BluRay structure.
I never told eac3to to do that, either...

First of all: GREAT TOOL !!!
I've made several tests in the PS3: Tried converting mkv to m2ts and to bluray structure. Just fine.
I've also made some titles with selectable subtitles.
Nice. Except that if I want to put several titles in the same AVCHD DVD I don't know how !
The only way I found out was to mux each track to its own .m2ts, but this disables the subtitles (the PS3 only recognizes the subs if they are in a AVCHD).

Anyone was successful in putting MULTIPLE TITLES titles WITH subtitles in the same media (for the PS3)?

thanks a lot

Rodger, i gave it a go and it works with MPC-HC as well.

BTW i have to edit the thread:
For BD
Demux sup with TSMuxer
Convert it to srt with SupRead (Open sup > select "OCR all" > select SRT > select "save as SRT" )
and finally remux to TS with TSMuxer...

The critical point here is video, audio and created srt must be in the same directory and must have the the same name.
Pls rename all the files as (for instance) test.vc1(or 264/mpv)
test.ac3, test.srt.

That's just the default action if you use the simplified "eac3to source.whatever dest.mkv" command line. You can get exactly what you want by being more exact in your command line, e.g. "eac3to source.whatever 2: video.mkv 3: Englisch.pcm".

@beastie boy & madshi:
I don't do command lines, but iirc eac3to_more_gui spat out "the basic one" on the project I was talking about: eac3to input.m2ts output.mkv

being more exact in your command line, e.g. "eac3to source.whatever 2: video.mkv 3: Englisch.pcm"
Very good, thanks. Now I have to figure out how to tell eac3to_more_gui to produce such a command line. Or would I have to do this manually, without the gui?

OTOH, this is somewhat off-topic in this here thread. I'll figure it out eventually ;)

In the meantime, I have used my previous method as described and it has again yielded a perfect result :)

Hi Guy's,

First off fantastic peice of software well done, Now to my problem i am creating a Blu ray structure from an original BD m2ts file and as always i just keep the Video and Audio that i want split the files into 4bg chunks rename all files so that it is playable on a FAT32 hard drive connected to the PS3.

Now the above works everytime for me if the Blu ray has DTS-HD Master Audio this plays back fine no problem, I do the exact same for a file that has Dolby TrueHD and when i come to play it back i have video but no audio through the PS3.

Can anyone tell me where i may be going wrong i have tried 5 files all of which have TrueHD and i get the exact same results, I was led to believe that the PS3 played back both DTS-HD MA and Dolby TrueHD from within an AVCHD folder with a Blu ray disc structure form tsmuxer.

Any Help:thanks:

I recently received three TS files in SBTVD format. It's not DVB, nor ATSC, it's a new standard for the Brazilian Digital Terrestrial TV based on ISDB-T from Japan, and that uses H.264 1080i HD for video and AAC for audio. Some TS streams might contain a mobile version of the same content, using H.264 Baseline profile.
I tried to use TSMuxer to demux those files, but only the only stream that shows up for demuxing is the HD video. I also tried to use DGAVCIndex to parse these files with partial success (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1141194#post1141194).

So far, no application plays these files correctly. And the only app that shows all information correctly is MediaInfo (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en), although it doesn't show SI table information.

Anyway, since the standard is quite new, I thought it would be nice to make these files available for download here (http://www.cbclip.com.br/Manhattan/), for those that would like to know the differences and structure of the standard.

Hi,

Just want to share something...I have a mkv file with a lvl 5.1 x264 encoded video. Used avinaptic to check how many ref frame ithas...and avinaptic shows it as 8 ref frame...I know for a fact that PS3 only accept a max of 4 ref frame but I've watch the movie on the ps3 and it went smoothl without any hiccup...

So the issue here is what is the max limit of ref frame for PS3 since my file with 8 ref frame plays great on the ps3...

Beastie Boy

23rd May 2008, 19:29

I think the ref frame limit is dependant on the resolution of the video. I'm guessing this wasn't a 1080p file.

Cheers, Beastie.

Bajunid

23rd May 2008, 19:51

Ah...so it depends on the resolution....the video is a 720p file...so your guess is correct...so now I can encode a 720p file using 8 ref frames....

more ref frames = beter quality...am I right?

Beastie Boy

23rd May 2008, 19:57

more ref frames = beter quality...am I right?

Up to a point. I usually stick with 3, purely for compatability. I don't know what device I may use for playback in the future.
I must confess to being a bit out of my depth when it comes to codec settings and go by trial and error. Others on this forum are better able to answer technical codec questions.

I am very happy that finally I found a tool which can easily and quickly convert video files to AVCHD format. However, there are few problems I encountered and I will be very appreciative if any experts can help me to solve them.

1. It is very strange that for some subtitle files (SRT), after converted to AVCHD, no subtitle can be shown. I checked the SRT file but could not find any problem. Then I created another text file and used "copy and paste" to paste text incrementally to test the result. And finally, I can create another SRT file that can be converted by the program. But I have no hint what exactly the problem is.

2. It cannot render AC3+ audio.

3. If the video is split into files, there will be few seconds skipped between video files. I don't know whether it is the problem of the files or the problem of the player (PS3).

Thank you very much for your help!

I think tsMuxer is an awesome application; finally have something to make movie capable of watching on my PS3. I was wondering if there was an update linux version coming out, as I've found the windows version to be pretty solid, but the linux one can be a little flakey at times(not able to mux together video that the windows version has no problem muxing, if I should post sample I can). I also was wondering when multi-title support was coming, as I would like to make some compliation blu-ray discs.

I'm also looking at creating a java program that uses mencoder and ts muxer for the backend, somewhat similar to ripbot, but with a few more features, mainly intended to have something I can run in linux that gives me HD converting ability to AVCHD. If it were possible to get the readme file in english, as none of the translators I've been able to use doesn't do a good job on the read me file.

The thread has been very helpful and I'm glad I finally found it. Thanks a ton roman!

Hi, everyone.

I'm never tired of saying thank you to Roman for the great application. Our PS3s wouldn't be so usefull if he hadn't done this.

I've been out for a while and now that I came back, I saw there were so many updates that I don't even know where are we standing right now. Can TSMuxer already create 720P Blu-Ray discs with subtitles (using a 720P MKV file with embedded srt subtitles as a source)?

Thanks!

After successfully remuxing my first H.264 + AC3 audio to a 26G stream (The Fifth Element), today tsMuxeR (the "Start remuxing" window that is opened) 'stopped responding' the moment I try to do the same for Sunshine, and immediately says:

"Mux Complete; Return Code -1073741819"

There's nothing in it's error window, but it's main log error reads:

Hi Roman,

With regard to assigning PID numbers to audio and video streams, ie: video @ PID 4113 (0x1011) and audio @ PID 4352 (0x1100).

When muxing good old fashioned MPEG-2 video with AC3 or MP2 audio within the .TS container, would it be possible to provide an option to asign the video @ PID 17 (0x11) and audio @ PID 20 (0x14).

Owners of old Sigma EM8620L chip-set based devices might find this useful ;)

Uh, no. I selected the first .m2ts file and the audio track of my choice, and set the output to "Create Bluray disc."

I just now tried to demux the streams first (though I'm not sure why I should need it), but the result is the same: tsRemuxeR demuxer window immediately hangs. Even if I select no audio at all, tsRemuxer immediately locks up.

I have been using temuxer to pull just the video /main audion and eng PGS stream from blueray M2ts file with good success.

I have just realised that none of the 12 movies I have now have the subtiles in them ???

am I missing something ?
this a real problem on 'the last samuri' where there are a lot of forced subtitles which no longer work ?

has anybody got any idea how to retain forced subtitles also thow to get the PGS to work ??

many thanks

Hi all!
When I make a tsMuxeR BD authoring with a non 16/9 (1280x720) format h264 video, PS3 BluRay reading seems always altered with big horizontal green strips making file unusable...

Are there workarounds to this ? A setting in tsMuxeR ?

I know the drastic way : frame by frame video decoding and resizing with VirtuaDub Mod before encoding again video to produce frames with horizontal black strips giving a standard 1280x720 image well supported by PS3... But it's a very long and destructive process regarding video quality...

Thanks in advance

Well, I was so moronic as to use the un-ripped folder. :) So that certainly explained that. Sorry for that.

I'm still having no luck with the 'Sunshine' Bluray DVD, though. I can stream 'The Fith Element' to my PS3 just fine, perfectly fluid at ~25Mbps. But I use the exact same setting in tsRemuxeR for 'Sunshine', and I get file that will not stream at all: very jittery, that is; like it's < 10 fps. And the bitrate for audio and video are the same as for 'The Fith Element' disk! It's really bizarre.

So, okay, I demuxed the lot, ran eac3to, made a 640Kbs AC3 stream, 48Kh sampling, all by the book, and remuxed that with it instead. So, like I said, now it's running at the exact same bitrate and throughput as the other m2ts file, which streams just fine.

So, what's going on here? Disk was ripped with AnyDVD HD, so there's not a trace of BD+ stuff in it. And it plays just fine from harddisk, too (Windows Media Player). But for some reason it streams at just ca. 10 fps! (TwonkyMedia). Soon as I use no sound at all, it streams fine again.

I used the following command to convert the demuxed DTS-HD stream:

eac3to.exe 00001.track_4352.dts 00001.track_4352.ac3 -640 -down6 -8ms

And it's about 500MB, when done. Seems fair to me; but apparently not. :)
