smartLabs tsMuxeR: Transport Stream muxer

[Atak_Snajpera]

You only need 7% of a DVD9 (8152mb) reserved for the m2ts header, which comes to 570mb.
Overhead is not constant! it changes according to movie length , audio type , audio bitrate.

[odin24]

Overhead is not constant! it changes according to movie length , audio type , audio bitrate.

Isn't is though, to a certain extent. Assuming you recode to a specific media size (DVD5, DVD9, BD25). I rip my own BDs, recode to fit to DVD9 with DTS and subs, really the only constant there is there is the fact the BD/m2ts header is going to be 570mb.

On the other hand, if all you are doing is converting (mkv-->m2ts) and streaming/copying, then yes I agree, the header will be proportional to the source file and it's streams.

[n0mag!c]

As Atak_Snaipera says: "Overhead is not constant!"
For instance, headers (as you use this term) size of 180 min movie will be two times greater than of 90 min movie.

Maybe I'm not clear on what a header is then, all I know is; regardless of how long, or what type of audio is used I always reserve 570mb of a DVD9 that I cannot use for any A/V stream.

I'm not trying to sound rude or cynical, but what exactly is a "header"... I thought knew what it was?

[fib0by]

For a 8150 MB target (2-layer DVD), I subtract the sizes of the "naked" AC3 and SUP tracks from 8150, and use the result to calculate the "ideal" bitrate for the .264 track. Then I multiply the "ideal" value by 0.95 and that's what I use for x264 in MeGUI.

So basically I assume there's a 5% overhead for one .264 track, one AC3 track, and one SUP track, muxed/authored with tsMuxer on a 8150 MB disk.

Seems to work OK so far.

hi

why some movie cnot can convrting at the tsMuxeR?

and some movie its make a green line in the downd screen why?

i can fix that?

OK, So i run the blue ray through tsmuxer and no truehd sound for playback on ps3 but it works in power dvd, i then run tsmuxers output through tsremux & all plays ok in ps3, so its only a small problem in tsmuxers output thats corrected when run through tsremux, i wish i knew what it was so that maybe i could correct it maybe with bdedit without using tsremux.

Thanks

I have the excact same issue, the only difference is that I am burning my back-ups to a BD-25 and playing them back on my Panasonic DMP-BD50.
With TrueHD discs my Panasonic just refuses to play them, when remuxed with TsmuxeR, but if I remux them again with TsRemux and then replace the original m2ts stream from TsmuxeR with the new one from Tsremux and then burn it all is ok.

The "funny" thing is that the Tsremux output, when burned to a BD-25 wont play on the Panasonic either, strange....

But if there is any one out there with a Panasonic DMP-BD50, I can confirm that this work around works for it :D

I didnt think of trying that method, anyway it works but i still have a problem with rewind & fast forward playing back on the ps3.

Thanks very much for a brilliant application! I often use the linux version.

The only problem in the linux version is that the progress bar is broken. I often see it go past 1000% :)

I look forward to future releases of tsmuxer!

Hello all,

i have a mkv with VC1, 23.976 fps without pulldown and when I play it on the ps3 it stutters a lot after I muxed in BDMW.

Other VC1 that I have has a pulldown and play fine, so I think because no pulldown it stutters.

Can I fix this? Is it possible to mux with a program and adding the pulldown? (without encoding?)

Please help!

@ butterfly: try running vc1conv over the file and see if it helps....

[stattik]

Does anyone know if it's possible to make more than one cut at a time? I'm trying to edit out the commercials from a TS capture. It works if I cut out every program block separately and then combine them but this far more time consuming as tsMuxeR has to reread the TS file for each cut.

I tried adding multiple cut arguments to the meta file but tsMuxeR only accepts the last cut set as arguments.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Use h264cutter or Transport Stream Packet Editor (TSPE)

[stattik]

Use h264cutter or Transport Stream Packet Editor (TSPE)

Thanks for the quick response Atak. I'm looking for a commandline-based app for batch processing. So far, tsRemuxeR is working great, it just takes more I/O to get the final file.

Hi There

Thanks for this great free application. Much appreciated.
Does anyone know if tsMuxer is still updated or supported eventhough it is free?
Also, do you think the creators of tsMuxer will fix the problem related to TrueHD in AVCHD/BR muxing? Maybe the creator of TsRemux will introduce 4 gig file splitting for fat32 drives.
Anyway, keep up the good work.

Thanks
Leon

[Nullity]

roman hasn't been around in quite a while, it seems as though development has stopped. I hope that if this is the case, he would be so kind as to open source tsmuxer, as it is definitely the best program of it's kind and it would be nice if the community could pick up and add new features.

[Duppie]

Thanks Nullity for the reply. Do you know if Dmz01 will introduce file splitting in the future. Otherwise I could always post this question in the TsRemux threat.

I don't see it being open sourced from comments Roman made in the past. It seems that tsMuxeR is an application which uses functions from a DLL which is the core of SmartLabs' commercial products.

vc1 files under mkv container create problem with TSMuxer.

TSMuxer creates TS files from the vc1 raw files (as well as h264 files) and you can trim them without any problem with the same muxer.
Demuxed vc1 files by TSMuxer or eac3to, after remuxing them into a ts container with TSMuxer, work very well.

Today, i gave it a go with VC1-mkv files created by eac3to or Haali Muxer; vc1-mkvs never work after remuxing them into a ts container with TSMuxer.

Audio video syncronization is never available since remuxed ts files never understand the duration of the media.

Have a look at this:

Real duration is 1 hr 49 m; no problem with ts and mkv files at all but look at the picture on the right; it seems 3:37:
It is a remuxed TS using a vc1-mkv via TSMuxer.

[Duppie]

Hi There,

I have done the following tests during the week since it is very confusing to remember what tsMuxeR and TsRemux can do. I am also doing this to be used in AVCHD on disk for PS3 playback since I do not have a Blu-Ray writer and does not want to copy 5 DVD's each time and change them during playback. Will update it when complete. Sources was "Advantage point" for Dolby TrueHD, "Kung Fu Hustle" for LPCM and content from Demo world for DTS-HD MA. Any comments are welcome. I will post this in TsRemux as well since it was part of my tests. Hope it helps.

Dolby True HD:
--------------
1. tsMuxeR Version 1.8.4(b):
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > DVD > NOK
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > AVCHD > NOK

2. TsRemux v0.21.2:
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > TsRemux > Blu-Ray > DVD > OK
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > TsRemux > Blu-Ray > AVCHD > OK

Note:
-----
The source (*.m2ts) generated from tsMuxeR (Blu-Ray output) is remuxed again by TsRemux
(also Blu-Ray output) due to the .mpls file from TSmuxeR causing Dolby True HD not to play.
tsMuxeR is only used in this case for the splitting function. For both DTS HD-MA & LPCM,
tsMuxeR can be used since it can split big files into 4Gig chunks for PS3 as well. For
BD-R's it does not matter since it does not need to be split if the file is less than
25Gig.


DTS HD-MA:
----------
1. tsMuxeR Version 1.8.4(b):
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > DVD > OK
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > AVCHD > OK

2. TsRemux v0.21.2:
-TsRemux > Blu-Ray > DVD > NOK
-TsRemux > Blu-Ray > AVCHD > NOK


LPCM:
-----
1. tsMuxeR Version 1.8.4(b):
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > DVD > OK
-tsMuxeR > Blu-Ray > AVCHD > OK

2. TsRemux v0.21.2:
-TsRemux > Blu-Ray > DVD > not tested yet
-TsRemux > Blu-Ray > AVCHD > not tested yet


Notes:
------
For TsRemux:
Default settings are used - "Bypass Audio Alignment"&"Use async I/O"&"Blu-Ray" are selected.

For tsMuxeR:
"Change fps" is selected but nothing is changed. This will insure that forward and rewind works. "Language:und (Undetermined)" is set to the correct settings for subtitles and audio. Not changed if correct.

I also have 2 Questions:

1. Did someone find a way to Author more than one playlists in AVCHD format for Dolby TrueHD playable on PS3, either by bdedit or whatever. Please share this. I will appreciate it. I do not want to create AVCHD structure for each file.

2. The pause of 2-3 seconds during playback when next file is accessed is not so bad, but since this is actually a backup of my originals will this be OK when merged again and burned on BD-R when I have one?

Thx
Duppie

If originally pulldown was removed with TsMuxer (but not with "vc1conv"), then video stutters. If we can find the way to mark VC-1 interlaced again, then we can properly remove pulldown again with "vc1conv". But I don't know such a way.

[lchiu7]

Not sure if this is possible but will ask. Our local HD broadcasts are DVB-T with h.264 video and AC3 audio. They are UHF. I find that the captures I do often gets bad audio data though it's usually inaudible (or the occasional burst of static).

I am trying to compress these files down a bit since a 40 minute show is 3.3G. So I demux the audio/video using dgavcindex, compress the video with x264.exe and mux back the new video with the ac3 track demuxed. Problem is, the ac3 audio track seems to have bad data and txmuxer issues error messages about bad AC3 data encountered, resync. This means the resultant video file is out of sync but the original file is in sync

Can tsmuxer be told to ignore this bad data and fill in the gaps if that is possible?

Thanks

Why don't you try and fix the audio by running it through BeSliced it may fix your problem :-)

I had put the mkv direct through vc1conv in eac3to instead dumuxed vc1 from the mkv.

Than muxed it with tsmuxer and it worked!

Test file was 100mb splited from the orginal file 26.1GB

It played fine on ps3 but the happyness was for a short time because I have a problem now with tsmuxer.

The 100mb testfile works in TSmuxer but when I do this with the orginal 26.1gb file, Tsmuxer gives me a error on 9.8% when muxing. It says: Only ADVANCE profile are supported for now.

But when I use Tsmuxer with the mkv without put it through vc1conv, I get no errors only it stutters then when playing.

I’ve splitted the big file in 2 and tested again but I get the same error….

Any ideas someone? Please help!

[madshi]

Neither vc1conv nor eac3to support MKV files as input format. So what you did cannot work properly. I'd suggest that you demux the VC-1 track and then run it through eac3to. If that still fails to work properly, then please post the eac3to log. My guess would then be that the pulldown was already removed - but incorrectly. If that's the case I don't think we can fix that, anymore...

Hi madshi.

Today i remuxed back VC1 (the file demuxed as vc1 by eac3to from an HD DVD) to mkv with eac3to.
I think you use your own source filter in this process since neither haali nor gabest filters can recognize standalone VC1 files?
But finally output file has the same problem:

Today i remuxed back VC1 (the file demuxed as vc1 by eac3to from an HD DVD) to mkv with eac3to.

But finally output file has the same problem
As far as I can see, the problem seems to be that tsMuxeR doesn't handle the VC-1 MKVs created by eac3to well. That seems to be a bug in tsMuxeR and not in eac3to. You can use mkvextract to extract the VC-1 track from the MKV and feed that to tsMuxeR to work around the problem.

[rica]

madshi, i did this test with matroska multiplexer on graph as well and i told it's not related with eac3to before.

Hello madshi, it really accepts the 100mb mkv test file as input. I had test it again yesterday. In eac3to gui I use the
vc1conv. This is the test file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/139568236/Alexander_Test_.rar.html

First I put the demuxed vc1 trough vc1conv in eac3to gui, then trough tsmuxer. The file stutters on the ps3. Second test I put the mkv direct trough vc1conv in eac3to gui then again trough tsmuxer and it plays fine on the ps3.

Only problem I had was tsmuxer after I putted the big file
trough vc1conv. Tsmuxer gave me the error on 9.8% ('only advance profile are support now...')

But I managed to work finally!
I done this first with 100mb mkv test file to see if it works.

I put the test file trough tsmuxer and made a ts file and after that I made the ts to a new mkv file with Haali dsmux and back trough tsmuxer to bluray. It worked on the ps3 without stuttering :) So I did the same with the big mkv (26.1Gb) and it worked 2!

Only Tsmuxer gave me 'bufferoverflow' error but this was a easy fix. I demuxed the ac3 file and put it as a sepperated file in tsmuxer with the orginal mkv and the ac3 from the mkv I didn't choose.

:thanks: everyone!

Hey, seems tsmuxer and ps3 new updates are almost there.

I have a mkv file that is not 720p compilant, but it played on the ps3, including with DTS audio, there was a green bar on the botton but the movie was there.

And the subtitle did not show up.

Any suggestion of solving the problem ?
Only re-encoding to 1280x720 ? the video is 1280x688

Anyone?

Thanks Rica, I was hoping you weren't going to say the eac3to word, I'm not aufait with command lines and every time I've tried to use it I can't get it to work.
Isn't there a nice GUI somewhere that'll do it all for me, RipBot264 unfortunately is set to convert all HD audio to FLAC.
I've got the demuxed single WAV, will Nero WAVE Editor somehow save them to single mono wavs?
The aim is to have single wavs for use with Surcode to make a 1536kbps DTS soundtrack.

No need for Nero. Just make sure you have Surcode 1.0.23 installed and ea3to will 'hook' into it.

Isn't there a nice GUI somewhere that'll do it all for me, RipBot264 unfortunately is set to convert all HD audio to FLAC.
I've got the demuxed single WAV, will Nero WAVE Editor somehow save them to single mono wavs?
The aim is to have single wavs for use with Surcode to make a 1536kbps DTS soundtrack.

@ hdpete
Use eac3toGUI or eac3to_and_moreGUI, I use either one to recode to DTS... it's the only way I'll watch a movie. Also, you are not limited to converting PCM, this works with TrueHD, DD+, and even regular AC3@640kb/s.

@ EPiPHONE,
When using the command method, how does eac3to know which audio stream within the m2ts file to recode if there are multiple audio streams? I'm assuming either the first stream or just remux to m2ts with only the desired stream?

eac3to input.m2ts output.dts -1536

Also, is it normal for tsMuxeR to not accept the newly created DTS track straight out of eac3to? I have to take that file run it through mkvmerge/extract first, then tsMuxeR will recognize it/

It will demux the first DTS track in the m2ts file. If there's no DTS track, it will transcode the first audio track in the m2ts file.

Surcode sometimes creates DTS files with zero padding which tsMuxeR doesn't like. You don't need to run them through mkvmerge/extract. Instead just run them through eac3to again. That's much faster...

odin:

If you want to make sure check track number with:

eac3to input.m2ts
enter; you will see all information...

And code will be:

eac3to input.m2ts track no: output.dts

Yes i always use this:

eac3to input.dts output.dts
