smartLabs tsMuxeR: Transport Stream muxer

[Chumbo]

I'm using the current 1.10.6. Found a few problems/issues:

Drag and drop of multiple files does not work
add dialog does not allow selection of multiple files
adding multiple files one at a time processes like joining. I would assume if adding multiple files, then a mux operation of TS or M2TS would then create individual files of that format from each source added and not join them. So if I add a.mkv and b.mkv and select an output format of M2TS, then the mux operation would create a.m2ts and b.m2ts. At least, personally, I would prefer to have this for convenience.
when demuxing, it would be nice if the entire file name is used rather than up to the first period.


Thank you for considering this.

I have been using TsMuxer to remux mkvs and Blu-ray rips to M2TS to put on my Mediatomb server and playback on the PS3.

I noticed that eventhough I often just remux Blu-rays with AVC video stream without doing any re-encoding, I still always have to switch my HDMI Range from Full to Limited on the PS3 when playing files created with TsMuxer, otherwise the movie is way darker than the original blu-ray which looks fine played with HDMI Range to Full.

Is this caused by TsMuxer ? Is there a way to fix it ? Cause it's a bit annoying to have to switch back and forth beetween Full and Limited on the PS3 depending on what I playback.

Thanks !

[deank]

I don't think it is an issue with tsMuxeR.

I also do a lot of switching between limited and full but it depends on the source (video) I play. Some files are encoded in Full-range (255 color range) and some in limited (16-240)...

Hello,
some problems here with Wall E seamless branching. I have used TS Muxer 1.10.1 to rebuild the BD format with only one m2ts file ( and only one audio file ). Now the PCH110 stops where there is the merge. Is it a known bug of TS Muxer ( or maybe of PCH110 )? I have tested the file with eac3to using -check function but I have not received any alarm. I also remuxed with 1.10.6 but with no success. Any help?

only demuxing with eac3to first will properly get rid of overlaps, gaps and clippings.

Hello

I have a weird problem with the tsMuxer.
From some reason i have a problem muxing True-HD or DTS-HD and DTS-MA to m2ts file.

I check the the Audio file by it self and it is working(using powerDVD), also the H264 file is working as well. :confused:

The muxing successfuly completed by when i am trying to play the M2TS file (or by putting the BD in to my BD player) the video freezes.

I tryed all tsMuxer version from 1.8.4 to 1.10.6 with the same result.
I also tryed to demux the audio using eac3to instead of tsMuxer , agian same result.



:thanks:

I dont now what happens but it was working for me (few weeks ago) and suddenly i cant get it work.

Is anyone now what i am doing wrong?
I saw some post that mentioning that they dont have problem with true-HD.

[fifteen]

Some files are encoded in Full-range (255 color range) and some in limited (16-240)...

Is there a standard when encoding for Bluray? How can you detect whether a file is encoded with full-range or limited?

[turbojet]

roman76r: along with the split bottom offset (default to 0) for sup can you also include font border (deafult to 0) ?

Hello

& thank you for making this usefull utility.

I've been using it a few times, though I did notice some little problems with some titles like those ones :

- Underworld
- The Kingdom
- The mummy (the 3rd)
- The curious case of Benjamin Button

1) All of them have DTSHD MA tracks & the thing is I always get some numerical "clics" or "noises".

When I read the full rip (done with Anydvd) the DTSHD tracks play just fine.

2) After a few seconds or a few minutes, the movie just stops and/or freezes my player (HDI Dune BDPrime).

Again, this doesn't not happen with the full rip made with Anydvd, only when using Tsmuxer.

I found a "workaround" which seems to resolves both problems : ticking the "downconvert DTSHD to DTS".

It has worked for "the Kingdom" & "Underworld", & I tried just the beginning of the movie for the 2 others that I mentionned above as it seems to be working, I just stops because I didn't want to watch them at that time.

So, it's ok there is a workaround, but I was wondering if this was a known problem ?
or am I the only one "meeting" this cases ?

Are they other workaround that could allow to keep the DTSHD track rather than downconvert it.

I also for at least 2 of those movies did get the following message :
http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/3176/probtsmuxer.jpg

I didn't find some clear answer about it with the search function, but anyway the problem with DTSHD tracks doesn't seems to be (always) related to it as there is no such message with Underworld.

[coolalibaba]

if you input is BD, the message above mostly points to the PIP track which tsmuxer doesn't support.

[coolalibaba]

Anyone knows if tsmuxer supports mepg-2 and ac3 combination within mpg container(extension)? I tried one video yesterday but tsmuxer failed to recognize both audio and video tracks.

[turbojet]

These sups (http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?njmgtaij4xj) give an unexpected byte error when they are resized. BDSup2Sub and SupRip handle it ok.

Also I don't know if this has already been asked or not but is there a chance to put 3 letter language in the file name when demuxing? Example: 00000.track_4608_eng.sup

The Blu-ray disk output of tsMuxeR v1.10.6 plays properly (on a Sony BDP-S350) when burnt to a BR-RE disc but not when burnt to a BR-R??? It contains a single video (AVC), single audio (AC3), and a single subtitle. A more complex movie (full movie backup of my Heroes Season One) created by BD-Rebuilder does play when burnt to a BD-R. The structures created by the two programs seem to be the same. It's getting expensive experimenting with BD-Rs when I can't test using BD-REs! Anyone have a suggestion?

Have verify if the problem should the BD-R reference ?
I'd test some brand and reference of BD-R and few brand are not reconize by S350 (or other player).

For exemple : DAXON BD-R not work on standalone player.
VERBATIM/PANOSONIC/SONY BD-R work fine.
TAIYO YUDEN LTH technology ? (no compatible writer for test).

[rapscallion]

It inserts a short compliant m2ts, 1280x720 or 1920x1080 to play before the main m2ts. It fools some players, doesn't fool some others. Safest thing to do is encode at compliant resolutions.
If the resolution is compliant, and the box is checked, will it still insert the mt2s ? (the default is checked and I haven't seen that addtional mt2s on my outputs).)

Another thing to try outside of drelin's suggestion is use AVCHD output. As noted in the tsmuxer changelog '* Bug fixed: Incompatibility of VC-1 tracks with Panasonic players was fixed. User mode "Blu-ray disk" for playing VC-1 tracks with Panasonic players." The way I take it 'blu-ray output' should only be used in the case of VC-1 on Panasonic players.

Nope.

Both the BD-RE and the BD-R are Memorex (They were on sale). I'll try another brand when I can.

I'll try the AVCHD output. The structure with the Blu-ray output seems the same as the "Heroes" disc which does play so I'm thinking the problem may be in the index.bdmv or the MovieObject.bdmv. I've done some searching for info on these but nothing useful yet.


P.S. Thanks for the suggestions.

[drelin]

@ BZeme.

Memorex is only a brand media seller not a manufacturer, if a remenber correctly.
For more informations look the ID manufacturer in ImgBurn (for example).

Thanks for your help.
With AVCHD as output, both the BD-RE and the BD-R will play on the Sony.:)
Other tests: 1) My "Heroes" backup will not play on a Panasonic DMP-BD30. 2)Blu-ray on BD-R will play on the Panasonic but the video is messed up. 3)The Panasonic says the AVCHD BD-R is incompatible. 4) Either Blu-ray or AVCHD output on a BD-RE will play in both the Sony and the Panasonic.
For now I can use BD-RE for backups to be played on both players until I try different manufactures.

I've tried searching Doom9 (and the internet) for things like "best bluray media" and find tons of info unrelated to the search. Any idea of where to look? The only on-line store I've used is SuperMediaStore. Are most on-line sources that show up as having brands such as Verbatim reputable? Thanks again.

[drelin]

@ BZeeme

For my professional use and test, I've tested several time mosts of Media brand and manufacturer (CD/DVD and BD-R/RE).
For informations :
Riteck is good way for low cost solution (in comparison of Prodisc/Optodisc and other Taiwan source => worse quality with lot of reject), but the production lines are not stable.
Some times, the quality is good but few months ago, lot of reject can be found.
But the price is good.

for CD-R & DVD-R (single layer) is good compromise.
For DVD+R DL (Double Layer) is worse with all tests maked during wirting process or after in playback, I've obtain big problem with riteck.
For BD-R is too new for make correct idea.

For my own use, I write on BD-R Verbatim White printable, no problem quality.
And the tests with SONY and PANASONIC no printable are very good also.

It seems like another bug:

I have PAL-SD-Video with 720x576
I converted subtitle to sup (720x576)

TS-Muxer shows everything correct, but at muxing it always changes PGS-Resolution from 576 to 480.
Metafile is correct at:

S_HDMV/PGS, "G:\01-de-forced_exp.sup",bottom-offset=24,font-border=2,text-align=center,video-width=720,video-height=576

But there always comes:
Decoding PGS stream (track 2): Resolution: 720:576 Frame rate: 25
Change PGS resolution from 720:576 to 720:480. Scaling method: Bilinear interpolation

That should not be ... :confused:

With settings of "As prinary video" and "720x576".
In both modes will be scaled down to 480.

Its not only an optical "thing", played back muxed Bluray lets display sub in near middle of screen, thats bad.

It seems that only the 720x576 makes some problems.

Changing size to every other resolution make a correct work, but not 576.

[provolino]

is it possible to use this tool to edit mpeg-ts files and fix audio sync issues?

[idbirch2]

Editing, no. For sync issues, as long as the sync is out by a set amount throughout your files, yes as there is a delay field which accepts +/- values. However, it is best not to set a delay of more that +/-1000ms using the actual container, for delays greater than this, the audio should be cut/delayed using something like DelayCut.

[setarip_old]

@provolino

With this program, you can avail yourself to the basic editing (based on time) of cutting and splitting...

[Capsbackup]

is it possible to use this tool to edit mpeg-ts files and fix audio sync issues?

Yes, you can adjust audio delays with TSMuxer. It cannot find what the delay is, but you can manually set a delay.

[idbirch2]

OK, if you really want to use the term 'editing' in the loosest possible way, yes but it's really just cutting/trimming - you can't even place multiple cuts. For proper editing, use something like VideoRedo.

[Ryu77]

Yes, I would have to agree. I have found VideoReDo my favourite for cutting and trimming at multiple points. Perfect for removing ads from free to air digital broadcasts. :)

[Sephiroth0000]

As the title suggests really. Begun backing up my HD collection and only need 720P versions of the films as set upstairs only capable of 720P. I have a demuxed 1080P h264 video, DTS HD audio file and subtitles file.

Is there anyway TsMuxer can make the output 1280x720 instead of 1920x1080 and if so how please?

[idbirch2]

To change the resolution, you will have to re-encode, no way around that.

[Sephiroth0000]

Well the video is seperate and in a h264 file. What would be the best way of doing this? Best program? I just want the full 720P version instead of the 1080P version. Is it going to take long also?

:readrule: about "best". For h264 video streams I use DGAVCDecNV. In order to resize just insert Spline64Resize(1280,720) in your avs script. Depending on your computer, yes it will take a long time. Although long is a relative term. :)

I can fully confirm this.
(Moreover, bilinear resizing creates not very nice looking subtitles)

Don't need 1080P versions for the systems upstairs.... got the discs and the frontroom for 1080P playback :D

EDIT: I know most would reply to have the 1080P versions but that can take anything up to 25Gb per film and HDD space is abit tight at the moment.

I wouldn't say that. I downsize a lot of my movies to 720p. I can tell little to no difference on my 61" 1080p.

Anyone know why a demuxed pcm file using eac3to wont work with tsMuxeR, it wont let me import the file from any that i try that are demuxed?

[odin24]

Anyone know why a demuxed pcm file using eac3to wont work with tsMuxeR, it wont let me import the file from any that i try that are demuxed?

Using the latest eac3to use .w64 instead of .pcm while demuxing. tsMuxeR will then take the .w64 file, or use pcm2tsmu on the .pcm file to create a tsMuxeR compatible PCM file.

[laserfan]

In doing a .264/.dts/.sub/custom chapters mux where the .264 had some slight corruption at the very beginning (in the Warner logo for the movie) I used the cut feature to just start 61s into the movie. The resulting BDMV was missing the first chapter info in the .mpls and so on Play it started well-into the movie, at the next chapter mark.

I was able to fix it by using BDEdit to insert the missing start-time to the .mpls, though it required a bit of math and head-scratching. In any case I don't think I've seen this reported here before and it qualifies as a "bug" for the cutting feature I think!

[vinaykagarwal]

Hello,

I am having trouble sending demuxed output to a named pipe.

AFAIK, only directory can be specified for the demux option and the streams are named according to a predefined naming convention. I created a named pipe with the proper naming convention for the stream I want to send out. Then I provided the directory of that pipe to the tsmuxer. Even that results in "unable to open output file".

I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

[mrr19121970]

Use w64 format instead pcm.

WildChild22 reports here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1294342#post1294342 that it does not work on seamless branching titles.

[DoomBot]

Thanks for the heads up :eek:

Where is madshi, we need him back on eac3to fixing W64 and what ever is wrong with truehd after demuxing and using Pioneer receivers the truehd thing kills me more.

[tebasuna51]

[shisha]

if you input is BD, the message above mostly points to the PIP track which tsmuxer doesn't support.

Ok but as I said this doesn't seems to be related with the problem encountered with rip with DTSHD tracks.

In fact even when I got this message, Tsmuxer is completely able to handle the tasks, of course I loose the PIP option (who cares anyway when you only keep the movie).

Am I the only one here on this forum that noticed the problem with DTSHD tracks ?

I just would like to know if Roman is aware of the problem.

@roman76r

Hi!

In view of the fact that your wonderful program is already capable of accepting HD-DVD "EVO" files as input, would it possible to add HD-DVD format to its present output capabilities of TS, M2TS, BluRay, and AVCHD?
