[Open Source Bluray project] Elephant Dream - Need Help

[Sagittaire]

Well perhaps a really good project:

1) First Bluray disk with complete Open Source or free codec encoding for audio/video stream. This BluRay disk will contain the movie with all available codec:

- Free VC1 SDK encoder for VC1 stream
- Open Source x264 for H264 stream
- Open Source Libavcodec or free HCenc for MPEG2 stream
- LCPM 5.1 at 24 bits, DD 5.1 640 Kbps at 24 bits and perhaps DTS 5.1 1.5 Mbps at 24 bits for audio stream

I can make all these encoding


2) Bluray disk with complete authoring project

Menu, subtitles, chapter and bonus with scenarist HDMV

For this part help is wellcome


At the end image disk will be available on ftp with the complete Sonic Project.

Hello Sagittaire,

Maybe can i help you with the part two.

I can also update the project in adding dts or dolby HD. I have the encoders.

I can also help you with the authoring.

If this can help.

there is free software for bluray authoring ?

It will be a good project if all the parts were made by open sorce projects. and have all the sources as examples

Do we know exactly what is it that scenarist does that "save as Blu-ray" in tsmuxer and co. doesn't? All I ever see in guides is Load in Scenarist -> Save -> go on with free tools, doesn't sound like Scenarist does some extreme processing. Is the problem that the documentation for what it does is unavailable and thus can't be replicated by free tools?

For the authoring i can use Scenarist HDMV, but if you know open source solution?

[Sagittaire]

1) Well as far I know there are not open source tools for make the authoring itself. Sonic Scenarist HDMV is a good solution for that.

2) I will make all these encoding and make upload on ftp

- Main video HD stream at 12 Mbps for VC1, H264 and MPEG2,
936 Mo for each stream

- Main audio with PCM 5.1 24 bits (7.5 Mbps and 585 Mo), DD 5.1 24 bits (0.640 Mbps and 50 Mo) & DTS 5.1 24 bits (1.5 Mbps and 120 Mo)

3) For the authoring I think that BD9 well be a good deal ... ?

My question is what does Scenarist do? All authoring means is that you have a program in which you can load all your streams and it will mux them into appropriate structure (in this case Blu-ray) and possibly let you do fancy things like menus and stream editing, but bare bone authoring is just muxing. From what I'm reading if you select "Blu-ray disc" as output in tsMuxeR it won't make a playable blu-ray structure. What is it missing?

I have been trying to figure out the menu process for days. Could anyone please post a basic howto with maybe 2 buttons on the main page that load 2 separate titles.

Thank You
