Sharing with us your "scratch pad"! :p
Interesting idea with the menu, very creative. :)
I also have been trying creative ideas for menus, but I must admit not nearly that of your screen shots. ;)
Thanks for that.

Edit:
I have been using XMB style motion menus to get around the 32 second limit, and have been able to adjust placement of the buttons in such a way as to look similar to carousel and slide menu styles. This way I don't have to recreate the original Blu-ray menu, or at least shorten it to 32 seconds. :)

I may add the 'static' version tomorrow... at least until I figure out how to speed up the motion one :)

I love it already.

Right... I have to do the 'no limit' thing for Slide and Carousel... I promised few weeks ago, but got distracted. I'll get there.

The XMB really does work as well once I figured out how to use the button placements.
Really, all is good now but I will try them out as well once you implement them. :)

What's the script you use to create this stripped video (containing several videos) for the menu ?

deank
10th September 2010, 11:02
Put the full path to your video in the first line and change the path to multiAVCHD's folder (if different than d:\multiAVCHD\)

filename="path_to_your_video_file"

LoadPlugin("d:\multiAVCHD\tools\Reform.dll")

step=777 #duration in frames (~32 seconds)
swidth=312 #stripe width
borw=4 #border between stripes

infile=directshowsource(filename).LanczosResize(1920,1080).killaudio.crop(384,0,swidth,0).addborders(borw,0,borw,0)
fc=int(framecount(infile)/8)

v1=infile.trim(fc*1,(fc*1)+step-2)
v2=infile.trim(fc*2,(fc*2)+step)
v3=infile.trim(fc*3,(fc*3)+step)
v4=infile.trim(fc*4,(fc*4)+step)
v5=infile.trim(fc*5,(fc*5)+step)
v6=infile.trim(fc*6,(fc*6)+step)

stripeH=stackhorizontal(v1,v2,v3,v4,v5,v6).lanczosresize(2684,1784)
bg=blankclip(width=2684, height=1784, fps=framerate(stripeH), length=framecount(stripeH)).converttoyv12.killaudio

rotated=skew(stripeH, bg, ltopx=382, ltopy=2, lbotx=2, lboty=1438, rtopx=2682, rtopy=352, rbotx=2302, rboty=1782, resize="point") #resize can be "line" or "cubic", too

return rotated.crop(352,352,-352,-352).lanczosresize(1920,1080)


It is possible that some ffdshow installations won't handle it properly (or avisynths directshow implementation) when you try to access the same video, but from different frame-offsets simultaneously. That's why in multiAVCHD each video is a separate video file...

I cleaned it thoroughly, cleaned the CPU and GPU, new thermal paste, cleaned the super-duper fan :), put it all back together (no loose skrews)... still no go... I think it is called the 'yellow-light-of-dead' (YLOD)... :mad:

Is there a particular reason that MultiAVCHD's converting a 1080i .M2TS movie only should be FAR slower (perhaps 5 times slower) than its converting of a 1080p .M2TS movie-only?

deank
11th September 2010, 20:37
It is deinterlacing it, probably that's the case (especially if it is bottom-field-first). If you wish, [alter-detected-properties] and mark it as 1080p and see what will happen.

Resoldering a ball-grid array?

No. It seems the console overheated and some of the 600 pins from both ICs got out/displaced. So heating the board at specific places (both sides) + the ICs makes them fit back.

Of course it may work couple of hours for couple of years - who knows.

Still I'm happy because all that cost me just 5 euro for thermal paste and 35 for a hot-air gun (which shouldn't count) :) so 5 euro total - much better than 250 for a new PS3. :)

Hi!

Regarding Build #770, you state: Subtitles: (internal) new button [extract]. It will allow the user to EXTRACT text based SRT/ASS/SSA or graphic SUP/PGS/VOBSUB and auto-load them as EXTERNAL tracks (and then allow the user to view/edit) - very useful for transcoding with hard-burned subtitles, because only external tracks can be hard-burned.

Have you successfully hard-burned PGS/SUP subtitles with this version?

I ask because my attempts to do so with three different .M2TS files each got as far as successfully creating the external subs and then erroring-out as follows:

If I eliminate the attempt to create the hard-burned subs, the .M2TS files are properly processed.

(Do not be misled by the "multiAVCHD769" folder name. You can see that it's been updated to Build #770)

(I cannot/will not change versions of Haali, because it's used by other programs - and I don't want to risk them getting fouled up)

Check the thread for SupTitle plugin in SUBTITLES subforum. I think it needs Visual C++ redistibutable to run properly (available for download from microsoft).

The file name is: vcredist_x86.exe ~2MB. Download link (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyID=32bc1bee-a3f9-4c13-9c99-220b62a191ee&displaylang=en) *MicroSoft*.

Is your post #6672 a response to me?

Check the thread for SupTitle plugin in SUBTITLES subforum. This refers to an AviSynth plugin. Is this already in the multiAVCHD full package?

If so, where does "vcredist_x86.exe" have to be placed? Does it have to first be executed?

(Obviously, I'm lost here)

deank
14th September 2010, 19:05
Yes :)

multiAVCHD uses suptitle avisynth plugin (dll). For it to do its job (hardcode PGS/SUP streams) user needs visual c++ redistributable installed. Download and execute the .exe and try again.

Quick question about multiAVCHD.

I have many TV series on DVD (multi disc box sets). Can I demux each dvd mpeg-2 episode (with re-encoding) and use multiAVCHD to author a Blu-ray with a simple episode selection menu? I would like to combine my 3 or 4 disc sets onto one single BD-R that could be played on a standalone Blu-ray player.

It seems to be a bug when loading mpls files: If audio (I supose it will be the same with subtitles) mPID don't follow PlayItem order, then some streams will be skipped. I've detected this problem with Toy Story where I have this audios:

PlayItem 001 -> mPID 1100
PlayItem 002 -> mPID 1102
PlayItem 003 -> mPID 1103
PlayItem 004 -> mPID 1104
PlayItem 005 -> mPID 1101
PlayItem 006 -> mPID 1105
PlayItem 007 -> mPID 1106

And MultiAVCHD only detects PlayItems 001, 006 and 007. If I directly load the m2ts file or if I use BDEdit to order mPIDs, then all audio streams are detected.

Hi Deank,

One week ago we had a talk on my problem, re-read if you want to get into the case again from this link:
Start of the talk, ends with post number 6636 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1432716#post1432716)

After that I uninstalled Xvid, Divx, Avisynth, FFdshow and Halli. Rebooted and installed the versions from your download page and did exactly like you showed in the screenshots during installing. And rebooted again. Did not install Xvid and Divx.

Then I retried with the same Knight Quest 3D demo-clip mentioned in the previous talk. Now this is what I have found out so far:

1. If I used the WVM video, it fails and multiavchd ask me to testplay avs script in MPC.
1st Avs script based on directshow plays correct in MPC (before I did a re-install I used to get a timeout error).
2nd Avs script based on ffms2 give error: "Videotrack unseekable" in MPC.

2. I had made a M2TS version of the unmodified WMV video with RipBoot264, and used M2TS file in multiavchd instead of WMV. Multiavchd fails and ask me to testplay avs scripts in MPC.
Both Avs scripts (directshow & ffms2 based) plays correctly in MPC.

Both times (with WMV and M2TS) I have correct visual framepreview in Properties and Transcode window, just like you showed in earlier post.

I have tried collecting some text files and logs from temp-dirs and from multiavchd log-window and the test projects used in multiavchd, you can get it from here: misc.files.logs.zip (http://uploading.com/files/368m3aff/misc.files.logs.zip/)

Hope you have some clues what's going on. Since I can see correct preview in Properties and Transcode, and if using M2TS as input, the Avs scripts plays correct in MPC I'm now clueless. If I disable the Anaglyph 3D in Transcode all works, but ofcourse I get no 3D.

One last thing: I noticed a difference between your install suggestion and from setup-proper-playback-chain-windows (http://adubvideo.net/how-to/setup-proper-playback-chain-windows) you linked to on your download page. In your screenshot nothing about avisynth stuff during ffdshow install was ticked, while the other webpage had ticked 2 boxes. What is the correct methode?

Thanks, bye...

**EDIT** - Tell me we haven't inadvertently fouled up my system. I just noticed at the Microsoft site you provided a link to that neither Vista nor Win7 are listed in the "system requirements". I am running Vista Home 64...



@deank

Sorry to say, I seem to be chasing my tail here, regarding permanent subs from external PGS/SUP subs. I'm undoubtedly either overlooking or misinterpreting something here:

As you suggested, I downloaded (from the link you provided) and executed "vcredist_x86.exe" (from within a sub-folder on a secondary drive). I then rebooted.

I once again loaded a main movie .M2Ts into multiAVCHD Build 770, extracted the PGS file, selected "Transcode", set it to make first subtitles permanent, and set it for "Blu-ray" and selected "Start".

The program generated a log identical to the one I submitted in my Post #6671 in this thread.

I ran the .AVS file and received the following information: LoadPlugin:unable to load "E:\MultiAVCHD41_769\tools\SupTitle.dll"

(E:\MultiAVCHD41_769\_TEMP\multiTEMP-20100915\20100915-174628-uncrop-running.avs, line 1)

I am mystified, because I have "SupTitle.dll" (83k) in the sub-folder noted in the error message: "E:\MultiAVCHD41_769\tools\".

Where am I going astray?

Sorry If I am misunderstanding this but when I did a transcode with hard subs, I set the MKV: AVC as the output and it worked for me, but I only have Vista 32 if that makes any difference. BTW, I really don't remember having installed (visual c++ redistributable), but I guess it's possible I got it with some of the ArcSoft stuff on my plain vanilla Vista HTPC box. I was under the assumption that with Bluray output you would just select and set the subs you wanted to play as usual and that hardcoded subs were for MKV output only. Thanks Dean for the great addition to multiAVCHD, it works great but I really hate having to transcode just to get subs. I think the time we waste doing more processing means we lose some of the quality too. Probably wishful thinking but I would really like to see a more elegant and less time consuming alternative solution to playing a m2ts file in a "container" that incorporates the chapter and subtitle info intact from either the original bluray playlist or from BD_Rebuilder. At any rate I think hardcoded subs are a great feature when you have to have them.
thanks, worknstiff

Hard-burning subtitles is an option to be used ONLY when a player doesn't support soft/PGS subtitles - like Panasonic Viera TVs and for HD-DVD output mode, where subtitles are not supported.

2. I had made a M2TS version of the unmodified WMV video with RipBoot264, and used M2TS file in multiavchd instead of WMV.
How can you put wmv in m2ts with RipBoot264 ?
I would like to do that. I never used RipBoot264 but I see only mkv or mp4 as export formats on this screen capture ;

Oops, sorry my bad. I forgot some info, I used RipBoot264 to make MKV and remuxed that MKV to M2TS with tsmuxer.

I have many TV series on DVD (multi disc box sets). Can I demux each dvd mpeg-2 episode (with re-encoding) and use multiAVCHD to author a Blu-ray with a simple episode selection menu? I would like to combine my 3 or 4 disc sets onto one single BD-R that could be played on a standalone Blu-ray player.

You shouldn't have to re-encode, as BD will use 480/576i @ MPEG-2.

What you can't do right now is create a simple menu with mAVCHD. Dean is working on getting that feature added. I'm also waiting for that feature.

Thanks. I tried this with GDSMux and TSMuxer, but TSMuxer can't open wmv3, even in a MKV container.
I guess you are talking about wvc1 in wmv container, not wmv3, right ?

Yes, the file I converted to M2TS was WMV/VC-1.

Although text-based subtitles are properly added as "burned"/permanent subtitles, I'm sorry to say that I'm still not able to get external PGS sub files to be added as "burned"/permanent (Makes no difference if I use multiAVCHD to "extract" or if I add a valid PGS file directly as an external file).

Has anyone been successful at adding a PGS file as "burned"/permanent subtitles? If so, please be good enough to share your step-by-step procedures...

@setarip_old, QUOTE:Has anyone been successful at adding a PGS file as "burned"/permanent subtitles?

yes, Like I posted earlier, I think it is only using the MKV output. In title properties section highlight the PGS stream you want to keep and extract it. Don't know if you have to do this but I did just to make sure there was only one PGS subs for it to use, I removed all of the PGS streams, even the one I used for extraction. After extraction the PGS is already placed in the External Subs section and make sure it is selected for use. Now click on the Transcode Button and on the right hand side use the HARDCODE subs dropdown menu. Click start and use either the Matroska or AVI output and "voila!", 5 hrs later you have a mkv with subs burned in. (thanks to deank that is)

Hi! Click start and use either the Matroska or AVI output and "voila!", 5 hrs later you have a mkv with subs burned in. (I've used the identical preliminary steps that you've used)

Although there's nothing stated by "deank" limiting the usage to these two containers, I will try them. (Actually, "deank" DOES refer to HD-DVD, which I've tried with this - unsuccessfully)

Thanks for your feedback...

unfortunatley im going to have to switch to another transcoder, my computer is still crashing on about 2 of 3 runs, due to using 100% of my ram in the moving procedure.

seems my problem is unique so im at a loss. will have to try something else.. shame because the program is great.

al4x, make a backup of your system and a new install, then just install avisynth, Matroska, ffdshow and multiAVCHD. This will proof, that your problems have nothing to do with it.

thing is all the processing is fine, it is literally only when all the processed data is moved from its temp location to the correct destination.

Can I ask you good people for your opinions on an error I'm having? This is my first time attempting to subtitle a Blu-Ray, so excuse me if I'm a little slow to follow on some things.

After loading the external SUP file into the proper title, when processing I keep getting an error telling me there is no information on the main video stream and the main streams are skipped in the final result, while everything else that was left the same was transferred over properly.

Have any of you ever run into an error like this before?

Not enough info in the posting. You need to provide what you are using as sources and maybe a mediainfo output listing of the source containing the video.

Hi deank, I have a question to ask you. I am trying to use multiAVCHD to strip extras and ads on one of my blu-ray contents but I'm getting a "error'' message type. I'm trying to blank out 4 trailer or so, but when I tried to do so it said doing so will affect the playlist #14 for example in the picture. That first playlist or so contains all 4 of the trailers as you can see. How should I blank out those 4 trailers or so without affecting any of the structure and pointers so that my menu comes up correctly?

As long as it's not affecting the movie or menu playlist then it's safe to blank.

21st September 2010, 17:44
Well it did I think because when i put the BD5 after encoding with BD-RB when it comes to the actual menu part of the movie, all my player said is MENU and display a black screen and I can't press play or skip or anything to actually get into the file. Something went wrong with the pointers or something when I blanked that trailers and affecting the playlist but I don't know what playlist 14 is referring to.

See what playlist 513 is referring to and you'll find your answer.
