smartLabs tsMuxeR: Transport Stream muxer

[tim83]

Guys,

I'm getting the follwing error when trying to generate a AVCHD from a MKV file:

Matroska parse error: Invalid EBML number size 0 at pos 1932375627

This is the tsmuxer output:

SmartLabs tsMuxeR. Version 1.9.9 http://www.smlabs.net

Any help is appreciated! Other movies demux just fine.

BTW. AVCHD/BD requires 1920x1080, 1280x720 , 720x576 or 720x480!

[tim83]

Thanks for your reply, but I don't think that this is related. Other movies with similar resolutions process just fine. tsmuxer crashes when the MKV has already been processed for 42% or so. Maybe some other thoughts on this?

[schlaufer]

tim83: did you try to (re-)process the file with mkvmerge to ensure, that it is not damaged?

Guys,

I'm getting the follwing error when trying to generate a AVCHD from a MKV file:

Matroska parse error: Invalid EBML number size 0 at pos 1932375627

EBML is bound to have all elements with non-zero sizes. It is either a wrong segment (withing EBML E_ID size data) or tsMuxeR confuses zero length bits value with zero based length of a tag (which otherwise should have a length of 1).

It is better to send a sample to Roman.

Is anyone else seeing the muxing stop in TSMuxerGUI 1.9.9 when minimizing/restoring the program?
I'm using vista x64 and it happens with m2ts/mkv inputs and all possible outputs.

roman76r: Is there a possibility for this command line option so open with works correctly: tsmuxergui.exe <input file>
yes, same here. had to start muxing like 10 times today (which sucks if u save to an external HDD) :(

Hi,

just looking for a quick bit of advice.

All I use tsmuxer for is remuxing blu-ray m2ts files to rip out all languages I don't need. I don't create any mini Blu-Rays or anything like that.

Is there a particular "best" version for just doing this type of remuxing?

Many thanks,

Moley

[jamos]

SInce 1.9.1 -1.9.9 I can't produce files that my PopCornHour accepts, with h.264 and aac. The older tsMuxeR_1.8.18(b).zip although works fine.


um youd be better muxing that to a .mkv using mkvmerge if your using aac for popcorn hour (how I do aac).

Also you can use different versions of tsmuxer (I do constantly due to various bugs some versions present) on the same machine just put them in folders with the version name on it.

[pleinlesyeux]

Hi !

I have a very small bug to report.

I demux my streams with eac3to prior to remux with tsmuxer.
I always keep english and french supscripture.
Using the GUI, i can specify the langage, which I do.

The panasonic bd55 recognises .ENG track perfectly, but displays * for the french one. So I need to set it up manually, which is not a big problem.

I just wanted to report it...

[mrr19121970]

can you please post a sample .meta file ?

[ACrowley]

Just want to say again that theres another Problem with TSmuxer and Popcornhour A110 Playback (maybe on more HW Players)

M2TS x264 Streams in 24.000FPS are not detetcetd properly by the Popcornhour. The Player doenst recognize the 24.00FPs and plays them in standard/default 1080p 50hz
Framerate Detection/Output Mode works "perfect @24.000 FPS" with the untouched M2TS Streams. So theres maybe be something wrong in the Header/fps info caused by TSmuxer ?
Forcing FPS to 24 doesnt help

i have a feature request for Roman :
1. i´d like to have the possibility to force subtitles and audio tracks
2. i´d like to have the possibility to change the track order after i added all the streams to tsmuxer, scenario would be: adding a mpls and then adding an external audio track but wanting this track to be the 1st/standard audio track
thx alot in advance ;)

You can change the track order via moving the tracks using the up and down buttons in tsMuxeR... However, the forcing option would be a great idea, this way I will no longer need to use BDedit to make this happen. :)

PS: A little off topic but does anybody know of a tool that can convert .srt (SubRip) subtitles to DVD subtitles (.sup format that IFOedit accepts) in such an easy fashion like tsMuxeR does for Blu-ray? I am having trouble trying to convert Vietnamese subtitles. With tsMuxeR the process is extremely easy, I just wish there was an equivalent muxer for DVD's.

Someone could IF you mentioned what you're going to use the final file for (ie watch on your computer, burn to BD or BR, etc.)

[moleyman69]

Hi,

I'll be viewing them on my Popcorn Hour A110, which plays M2TS files with all the hi-def audio goodness. The A110 doesn't need anything special doing to the M2TS files.

I am not the type of person who posts something without trying to find it myself first. I posted this here as I thought someone may have found an application not as common but perfect for my needs.

I already tried srt2sup and also txt2sup but they both will not recognize Vietnamese subtitles. tsMuxeR does this so easily, it would be great if there were an equivalent for DVD... But it seems maybe there is not.

Thanks for your help anyway. :)

[moleyman69]

Hi!All of the versions should handle that activity properly...

Thanks Setarip,

I had noticed a post a few back that mentioned something about 1.9.9 not detecting framerate properly and that is what me wonder - albeit that the poster of said post was probably referring to another aspect of tsmuxer :)

Thanks again for the clarification,

TsMuxer 1.9.9 has a problem identifying streams. I got a bluray which has two DTS-HD Audio streams.. first is regular and the second is descriptive audio. When I open the bluray in TsMuxer, it should recognize the bluray as:

1: 1080p video (Profile: High@4.1 Resolution:1920x1080p Framerate:24)
2: dts-hd regular
3: dts-hd descriptive
4: sub1
5: sub2

Instead, tsmuxer incorrectly identifies the bluray as follows:

1: bad stream, supposively video: Profile: 13.9 Resolution: 154:-4i Framerate:not found
2: 1080p video (Profile: High@4.1 Resolution:1920x1080p Framerate:24)
3: dts-hd descriptive
4: sub 1
5: sub 2

So, it doesnt recognize the first dts-hd stream correctly, instead, tsmuxer thinks its a video stream.. when i try to demux the stream tsmuxer immediatly gives this error:
"Not enought buffer"

[pleinlesyeux]

can you please post a sample .meta file ?

I think I found the problem.

In TSMuxer GUI, the default langage for French is fre.
Way down, there is a French that is fra.

I'm gonna try this setup and see if it works.

If not, i'll post a .meta.

Thank you !

[mrr19121970]

@wiggle

as a workaround, demux all streams 1st with eac3to and build them back together with tsMuxeR. for comfort you can used Clown_BD

you'll probably need to post a sample to Roman76R (a couple of MBs should do).

@pleinlesyeux

is the input stream FRA too ? if so then no bug. you can check with this tool (http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?t=26930)

[pleinlesyeux]

@mrr19121970

The input is FRA. But it is not a bug per se, because I'm inputing myself the langage of the stream because I manually remux the movie+audio+subtitles.
This is because for 2.35 movies, I need to change the subtitles position. So I add extra (upped?) subtitles in TSMUXER (using bdsup2sup, it is a matter of seconds !!!). When importing using the GUI, you have to manually tell what langage each stream is.
And the default French is FRE, and it seems that it should be FRA.

For not 2.35 movies, I happily use clownBD all the way. It would be great to add a "shift the subtitles within the picture using BDsub2sup" in clown...

Did they fix the green bar when the video is cropped. Also is that only for the height or both the width and height.

Now I have begin to implement MOV/MP4 container support.
I plan to finish this feature by the end of the week.
Also, Seemingly I have fix the problem of determining the AAC tracks in MKV.

Thank you so much for your continued development.

Just a thought, is there any way to implement a feature that could identify forced subtitles?

I have noticed the occasional subtitle has certain segments that are forced while others are not. This becomes difficult to identify as the forced sections are embedded within the standard subtitle and somehow there are flags to tell the player when to show the forced subtitles within the regular subtitle stream.

I hope I have explained this correctly but to clarify, there are sometimes what seems like a normal English subtitle, that contains forced sections (maybe when a foreign dialog is spoken during the movie) within that subtitle.

It would be great to be able to identify which subtitles are forced within tsMuxeR.

Assuming that you've demuxed all your streams 1st, then you could use BDSup2Sub (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145277) to extract only the Forced streams yourself.

But it would be excellent for Roman to find a way to bind & autoselect forced subtitles based on currently playing audio language.

Feature request #1: an option to create opaque-boxed subtitles (instead of outlined-only). It will be nice to have opaque % option so the box can be set to 30%-40% opacity.

Feature request #2: Support for IGS/TextST mux/demux.

Can anyone point me to a tool that can create SUP subtitle stream for BDMV from SRT files (with opaque box)?

[tekmobile]

Would also appreciate adding secondary audio (PiP) to compliment the secondary video PiP for blu-ray


Many Thanks

I'm get out of sync audio when joining m2ts files from the Watchmen Blu-ray disc. I'm trying to split the original Disc into two back up discs with six episodes on each backup disc. The first episode on the backup disc is in sync, but then when the second episode starts it becomes out of sync. I'm using the latest version(tsMuxeR_1.9.9). How can I get this backup disc back into sync?

Thanks for the help!

[ps3hacker]

Always demux audio and video streams with eac3to when it is a seemless branching movie/disk. Mux back together with tsmuxer, then split accordingly.This should solve your problem

[Ryu77]

I am having a little difficulty with the new version of tsMuxeR...

Previously I selected Blu-ray output and burnt to DVD Media (UDF 2.5) without any problem. My PS3 recognised it as an AVCHD disc.

However, now when I do that with v1.9.9 it shows as a data disc. I am wondering which settings I need to alter to rectify this?

- Is it that I need to select AVCHD output now?
- I am gueesing I need to uncheck "add blank playlist for cropped video" if I am using full resolution video, is that correct?
- What exactly does the "Blu-ray audio PES" option do? Should I leave it checked or unchecked?

PS: Roman, if any of the above settings need to be altered it may be better to set the default settings as those that work for normal muxing projects.

Hi.

I posted a question in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146339) with the compatibility list, but I will refine it here as more people may read it and may know the answer.

I've been using tsmuxer for a long time, changing versions from time to time, creating blu-ray backups (don't care about AVCHD). The latest version I'm using is 1.8.35. Now time has come to start burning some of those backups to bd-r disks for archiving. The problem is, I don't have a standalone player to do any tests and I can't remember the version of tsmuxer I've used for the various movies I have on hard disk.
My question is, do I need to run tsmuxer again (e.g. latest version) so that I create the most possible compatible bd-r backups or is it fine to just burn the ones I have created in the past?

Thank you in advance for your help :thanks:

[herrde]

@koutou:

If the latest version you've been using is 1.8.35, you can simply take your tsmuxer Blu-ray backups and burn them to BD-R IF you haven't run tools like AVCHDme or similar over those backups in order to make them playable from a USB device. Those BD-R's should play on MOST Blu-ray players incl. PS3. But actually, the so-called Blu-ray output from tsmuxer versions prior to 1.9.6 IS AVCHD!

If you want to go for an even higher compatibility (e.g. playback on some "difficult" Panasonic SAP's too), then you should use the latest tsmuxer version and remux your files again in Blu-ray output mode (which is not AVCHD anymore from version 1.9.6 on)!

Best,

Gero

[herrde]

@Ryu77:

- Blu-ray output in tsmuxer version 1.9.6 or later is for BD-R(E) only - not for DVD media anymore. If you want to burn your output on DVD-R, select AVCHD mode!

- yes, if you have what you call "full resolution" (i.e. 1920x1080 or 1280x720), there's no need to use the "add blank playlist" option, although it wouldn't hurt.

Don't really know about your third question though...

Best,

Gero

I had actually tried that in the meantime and found that selecting AVCHD was the answer. It is actually version 1.8.35b and onwards that uses the correct Blu-ray output (instead of AVCHD)... My curiousity lead me to testing different versions of tsMuxeR to discern where the exact changover occured. :p

[herrde]

True, you're right, the new separation between "Blu-ray" and "AVCHD" output happened in version 1.8.35(b), not 1.9.6 like I wrote.
