I'm trying to rip a bluray movie in which the streams are split into 3 m2ts files. Only with 1 of them does tsMuxer report having video. The other two give me this error.

"Some tracks not recognized. This tracks was ignored." Then it just tells me the file name.

Anyone able to shed some light on this?

Here is a sample of the video, hopefully this helps more.

http://www.doinkdoink.us/00070.m2ts (00070.m2ts)

I have many more files like this that do the same thing. I am able to demux it with eac3to and I think TSRemux but that just gives different errors and its still unable to open the files.

If you are still living issues with video try to extract it with Graphedit.
(Haali, or Cyberlink demuxer) > Dump (*.264)

You can directly re-encode the audio of your m2ts with eac3to.

EDIT: Sorry, i've just seen you've already solved the problem.

Yes, you're very observant. :)

I was just going to write in here, as apparently the problem occured because I had demuxed the H.264 stream first: after that, I can't stream the resultant (remuxed) m2ts file any more. I eventually solved it by simply not demuxing first, but instead to select just the original H.264 stream and add the new AC3 stream. And now it works fine again!

Leaves the mystery, of course, as to what breaks down in the demuxed H.264 stream so badly that I can no longer stream it over the wire? (whereas it would still play properly from harddisk). Maybe some sort of fps synchronization gets lost (but that sounds cuter than it's plausible, lol).

At any rate, thank you for your help!

Supported video codecs:
- H.264
- VC-1
- MPEG2

It opens other VC-1 files but for some reason not certain files from the disc.

HI Rica
many thanks for that
but I was under the assumption that in bluray or m2ts stream the subtitles were in the PGS or presentation graphics stream within the m2ts file .????

so I am convert the video stream , 1 audio stream and the first english PGS stream . to m2ts stream so I have the film in one file with audio and eng subs

is this correct ?
I was assuming I would be able to get subtitles from this ??

if I am correct then somthing is wrong with the muxer .

or is it something wrong with me :eek:
many thanks:)

can someone confirm this is the case ?

Have you loaded DirectVobSub?/select the first download link:

http://www.free-codecs.com/DirectVobSub_download.htm

Don't forget you will lose HWA when you use DVSub. (BTW this is not related with DVSub itself but even any other post processing filter breaks down HA decoding workflow and it converts whole workflow into software mode.)

And have a look at this pls:

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 same name.
Pls rename all the files as (for instance) test.vc1(or 264/mpv)
test.ac3, test.srt.

They have been tested, both format works on PS3.
mpeg2 > Ultraviolet (origin: BD)
VC1 > Terminator 3 (origin HD-DVD)
no re-encoding at all.

Method:

Demux video and remove pulldown with TSMuxer. (rarely you might need to use VC1Conv to extract pulldown from some HD-DVD VC1 files)

Demux audio and re-encode it to ac3 with EAC3to (using command line is more flexible since you can open m2ts directly-for BD- and select the track whatever you want- for BD and HD-DVD- i will go on this way anyway for both format in re-authoring to BD.)

Demux subtitles with EVOdemux for HD-DVDs or use TS remux for BDs.
Convert extracted PGS to SRT with SUPread.

Remux all with TSMuxer as "Create Blu-Ray" option selected.

Burn with ImageBurn.

New version for Pcm2Tsmu (http://www.sendspace.com/file/8iy2b2).

Seems now work properly the STDOUT->STDIN with eac3to.
Remember the syntax:

eac3to input.dts stdout.pcm [eac3to_parameters] | pcm2tsmu - output_tsm.pcm [-i 16] [-c 2/4]

defaults: -i 24 -c 6

I think Yraen can include this new version in eac3to and More GUI.

I've seem to come across my first problem with Pcm2Tsmu. Trying to do The Matrix TrueHD -> PCM using:

eac3to source.mlp destination.pcm

Pcm2Tsmu destination.pcm destination_2.pcm

Video.vc1 + destination_2.pcm -> tsMuxeR -> final_destination.ts

I get constant garbled/hissing from the very beginning. Any ideas on how to fix this? I am going to try the Scenarist method later on and will report back........

I think the problem isn't in Pcm2Tsmu, only when TsMuxer reject the pcm can be a Pcm2Tsmu problem.

The problem is only at the begining and after is ok, or is always wrong?

Try
eac3to source.mlp destination.ac3
(or other kind of output) and listen to know if is a mlp decoding problem.

I've been having this exact same problem (as I posted in your Blu-Ray transcoding thread on NetworkMediaTank Forum). This happens with ALL HD-DVD TrueHD tracks I've tried (most recently the 5 Harry Potter movies).

Any suggestions on how to get HD-DVD TrueHD tracks into a lossless uncompressed form that TsMuxer will accept as LPCM would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Can anyone confirm that when tsmuxer creates an AVCHD BR structure with trueHD audio and it is copied to an external USB HDD folder named AVCHD, (and the files are renamed to 3 letter extension), that it will actually play the trueHD audio? I get video but no audio! I read here somewhere that selecting a DTS-HD MA soundtrack will work this way, so I'm just trying to confirm whether there is a bug in tsmuxer for trueHD or the PS3 does not support trueHD from USB HDD??

This worked:

destination.wavs + dummy.vc1 -> Scenarist -> destination_2.m2ts

Video.vc1 + destination_2.m2ts -> tsMuxeR -> final_destination.ts

It's strange because Top Gun HD-DVD with TrueHD plays fine using Pcm2Tsmu. Oh well, I have a working method for me. I've got some other stuff to do today........

Hi Rica

I seem to have found a fairly easy way to get the .SUP file to .srt file using SUPreader.exe from here http://pel.hu/down/SUPread.exe

all you need to do is demux the relevant PGS file to .sup file using tsMuxer.
read the sup file into SUPreader and output it as a .srt file .

this can then be used by mediacoder for inclusion into AVI or mkv or just name the file the same as your .m2ts file and load it into the same directory and my popcorn network media tank reads it straight off ......sorted :thanks:

one extra thing I found is the 'FORCED' subtitles are a stream in their own right so once you have found the right PGS do as above and you get forced subtitles :eek:

it would be greta to have SUPread as an addin to tsMuxer if possible ( yeah yeah I know :p )

I get the same errors everyone else is getting; and it seems they've given up on it (as there are no replies any more, except mine, since February).

So, I'm stuck now with many VC-1 titles that are just sitting on my media server, unstreamable. :(

Someone told me I might put them in a (streamable) WMV container, without having to transcode them, even. Is that true? I'd be forced to use 2.0 sound (what moonbrained genius at M$ came up with that brilliant limitation??). But I'm getting desperate here, so if anyone knows how that works, I'll be glad to hear that, too.

VC1 in WMV play fine on PS3 over TVersity Media Server (without any convertion). Only one problem for WMV - sound. PS3 don`t play 24-bit and 5.1 wma sound. I try now convert sound only for 24-bit movies, but no luck - can`t find any worked solution and don`t have time write my own tool.
Anybody know how create M2TS VC1 + AC3 from WMV ?

Not sure I fully understand: if you keep the vc-1 video, how will you stream it? in a WMV container? But then you'd drop back to 2.0 audio!

And "XviD4PSP", not sure i like that name; I mean, we're past the Xvid stage, no? I want highest quality H.264, not some inferior Xvid codec. :)

Streaming possible in WMV or M2TS (renamed to MPG) conteiners.
XviD4PSP just history name. Now this is powerfull video/audio converter. With MP4, x264, M2TS and all other good tools inside.
About 5.1 - VC1 + AC3 in M2TS only. Or x264 + AC3 in M2TS too.
Recoding not a problem - open your file in XviD4PSP, set M2TS format and encode.
Problem only copy VC1 stream - PS3 play perfect VC1-WMV3 streams.

@n0mag!c
Thanks for tip, but TsMuxer don`t accept WMV3 FOURCC. Will try replace FOURCC to WVC1 now. Hope it help.
Also play with WMV to WMV remuxing. Found Windows Media Stream Editor tool (inside WM9 enc). Tool perfect demux streams and let create correct audio for PS3. But don`t let mux back a + v stream to wmv, may be my mistake ?

Update:
WVC1 FOURCC don`t help. TsMuxer still don`t accept VC1 stream from MKV created with gdsmux from WMV.
