How to: Remux HD MKV to BD Structure on a DVD targeted for PS3

[jamos]

Too good to be true... most of the files are not 720p or 1080p Compliant.

I have one problem with the subs, Supread cant handle Portuguese (and most) special characters, Subtileworkshop can export the PNG, how can i use that PNG to create a SUP file?

Jamos, share that script to had the borders please....:p

Im thinking you have to modify the abc.png to add portuguese characters or create one with a paint program. have to ask pelican on how to do that.

A script example is above in this thread.

you have to go to settings button next to your profile dropdown in megui. the first tab has bitrate, it defaults to 8000 which is good but may make the resulting file too big to fit on a dvd you can change that to a lower value.

Working perfectly! Loaded my avs script, output to rawavc, clicked "config" next to profile tab, used bitrate calculator to define abr, set it to 5500, had to compensate for audio, final output was slightly big, so split m2ts using hdbdsplitgui at 4200MB, ran part 1 through tsmuxer again, burnt using ashampoo udf 2.50 (Now supported in V7), played flawlessy in ps3. Thanks!

THX !!!!

:thanks:

Jamos, i made all the steps but no subtitles...
I've made the subtitles with SUPread from a .srt file and used that .sup file on the TSMuxeR, the PS3 recognizes theres a subtitle track but dont show any subtitles, any ideia?

For the rest is all ok, two audio tracks, Eng and Jpn working fine, but a no show for subtitles. What version of PowerDVD shoul i use to test it on my PC?

Power dvd 7.3.3304.0 and no subtitles here also.

Is your video 720p by chance ?
If it is then at the moment supread only produces 1080p subs and they wont appear on the screen because they're being displayed off screen.

Thats why.... other thing, PowerDVD wont play the file and it says that "Incompatible graphics driver. Please use default driver for playback", i have a Radeon 9600 and the latest ATI driver, any way to work around this?

No Idea I use a PS3, and when I try with PowerDVD on XP (running on a MacBook) I get alsorts of error.
If your graphics card isn't HDCP(?) compliant AnyDVD HD might help.

I do not think the 9600 will play bluray format your video outpuy must support 1920x1080 so make sure your resolution is at least that high. you may have to upgrade your video card.

After following your instructions, I am now trying to burn the BD Structure with imgburn 2.4.0.0. What file system should I use? ISO9660 + UDF or just UDF? I will set UDF revision to 2.50

Nice work Jamos. Finally I have a working AVCHD.
Also nice work the author of tsmuxer! brilliant!

I'm using 4500KBs for encodinging and the 264 file comes out at approx 3.9 gig. If it's bigger I re-encode the ac3 at 224Kb.

Seems to go on a 4.5g dvdr just nice.

Takes 30hours on m old 1.3g processor :-(

Pretty happy though.

Now what we need is everone to do their MKVs using the bluray profiles at true 720p then no re-coding.

I'm surprised their are no AVCHD ISOs when i do a torrent search....

Ok. here is the issue I'm having.

First I demuxed the MKV to get the .264 and the .DTS file. Then
I loaded up my MKV into MeGUI using the the following avs script;

DirectShowSource("e:\video.mkv",fps=23.9760431376968,audio=false)
addborders(0,16,0,16)

Got the new .264 file, and used TSMuxer to load the DTS file and the new 264 file. Tried to make a Blu-Ray disc and a .m2ts file, both times I get video but no audio. Tried playing with PowerDVD, GOMPlayer and VLC.

I do have a 1-2sec grey flicker at the beginning of the video, but its fine the rest of the way. Something I'm doing wrong? I haven't tried it in my PS3 yet.

I had the same issue once. I solved it by putting the .dts and the .h264 file in the same directory before muxing. Hope this works for you aswell.

that's all cool

do you guys know how to create a AVCHD disk with several movies (each with their own subtitles) ?

Is anyone else having issues with a 1-2 second gray flicker at the beginning of each encoded file using MeGUI?

[astragalos]

Jamos, I have got a simple question, which could be not so easy as I suppose: Let's say we have a non compliant mkv file, for example 1920x860 L@5.1. Is there any way only to add the required borders without having to reencode the entire video ? In that case, after we have added the borders, could it be enough to make a bluray putting the file in tsmuxer and checking the l@4.1 box ?

Thanks in advance for your help

I think 5.1 HAS to be reencoded to 4.1 not just Remuxed for 1080p video. For 720p you can get away sometimes with just remuxing them if they are 5.1.

make sure to get the latest x264.exe. if you installed megui propely you should autoupdate.

Slightly late to the party here but thought this sounded interesting so gave it a try. Had a file in MKV format. Demuxed it into a h264 and AC3 file, loaded it to tsmuxer and output a BD format folder.

Burnt that folder to a DVD using imgburn (also tried Nero 7) ensuring that it was UDF 2.5

However when I insert the disc into my PS3, it shows up as a data disc. I can navigate through the disk to the STREAM directory and play the .m2ts file there but that's not what I was hoping. I was hoping that once I inserted the disc in the PS3 it would play so it wasn't the XMB playing it but the BD player.

As an aside I have been able to get AVCHD formats onto a USB key and they play fine. Can't think how different a disk format would be.
[edit]

Well I solved my problem I think. Instead of doing what I had described above, I used tsmuxer to create a m2ts file from the h264 and ac3 elements. Then ran tsmuxer again on the output file to create the BD structure which when burnt to a DVD-RW came up as AVCHD on the PS3.

So it looks like if you have some audio/video elements, tsmuxer doesn't seem to be able to mux them together and create the BD structure correctly. Well at least not from my experience

sometimes tsmuxer does not create the correct avchd file structure you will need to find a nero avchd bdmv file structure and replace the files in the bdmv dir.
