The folders that the program creates are: AVCHDTN; BDMV; HDAVCTN; IISVPL + details.txt; multiAVCHD.txt; multiAVCHD.mpf... Which one do I put in my usb driver ?
I believe that all these folders have to be in a folder named AVCHD and when you export your project, you have to choose Sony PS3 in the AVCHD for solid media part.

Yes, I've done that!
I'm talking about the folders that creates AFTER using the program, obviously...
In other words, there isn't a single file that I can play on Ps3, but a variety of folders, that, for most of that, the Ps3 doesn't recognizes...
Maybe I have to tranfer only the file named 00000 of which I was speaking in my post, without tranfer all that folders?
In any case, that file doesn't contain the subs I selected, why?

When you export your AVCHD for PS3 project, choose AVCHD as name for the export folder and all files and subfolders will be exported in this folder. Then, copy this AVCHD folder on your usb driver and the PS3 should open it as an AVCHD and not as a classical folder containing subfolders.

Hello, there is a question. multiAVCHD has a nice feature "force display of first subtitle track". Can I force it manually in BD created by tsmuxeR? Is there something to do with BDedit?
cwh060
20th May 2011, 12:16
It should take the source file you created in tsmuxer and recognize the sub track.
Import it into MultiAVCHD and then click on the file, under Compilation, it will bring up the Title #1 properties, click the Tab Subtitles and make sure your track #1 is recognized.
If the Force display of first subtitle track is checked it should show in the resulting output files.

Hello, there is a question. multiAVCHD has a nice feature "force display of first subtitle track". Can I force it manually in BD created by tsmuxeR? Is there something to do with BDedit?Yes you can. I think deank explained this somewhere here (I don't have the link) but here are my notes. You open the disc w/BDEdit and find the SetStream command and edit it:
SetStream AAAASSSS,0
Audio:
8001 - 801F - Will change audio stream to 1-31
0000 - will not change current audio
Subtitles:
C001 - C007 - Will force/show subtitle stream 1 to 7
8001 - 8007 - Will hide subtitle stream 1 to 7
0000 - will not change subtitle stream
So for Subtitle 2 with audio 3 to show:
SetStream 8003C002,0
For Audio change only: 80010000
Fos Subtitles change only: 0000C001
To force audio track 1 and hide subtitles: 80018001 - if you previously enabled subtitle track 1
When entering these values make sure you're using IMMEDIATE values format for SetStream (program code 51C00001).
etc...
It's mentioned in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1246469#post1246469) a couple of times.

Hi guys!
I have a little issue with multiavchd.
No BluRay player will allow me to jump to the next title in my play list. Of cause I tried the 'auto chapter at end of title' option.
I also did try different players (Sony/Phillips) and different versions of multiAVChd (3.0/4.0). No success:-(
Is there a solution?
All the best!
Yes, the same problem. Any ideas how to fix it?

Guys,
A new user of multiAVCHD and have a question. My goal is to author and burn h.264 files recorded with my Hauppauge HD PVR1212 and burn Blu-ray and SD-DVD disks. I recorded a show 1920x1080i sampled at 29.97 2-channel ac3 384kbps. I opened the file in multiAVCHD and followed directions to author and encode. I burned with ImgBurn. In both the Blu-ray and DVD disks the video was choppy/shudder on pans & motion across the screen. The only thing I noticed odd during the encoding process is that the Process Window it has Frame Rate: 23.976 (29.97). My guess is the audio is being re-sampled to 23.976 which may be the cause for the stuttered video playback. If this is the case, how do I fix it before encoding? Thanks.

The video is being converted to 23.976fps. This can be tricky, depending on the source. The stutter/shaking is more likely the file is being encoded with the wrong field order. You need to check if it is TFF or BFF and encode accordingly. Or, just encode interlaced like the source, keeping 29.97fps. Or deinterlace. :cool:

Yes, Caps, I feel pretty sure that is what is happening. It is very familiar because it reminds me of some of my early attemps to convert my VHS to DVD back when I started in 2002/2003. Until I figured out to tell the encoder the proper field order.
The question I have is how do I and what should I check and uncheck in multiAVCHD to prevent this from happening. Pretty sure the video is top field first and 29.97 frame rate. In this case CBS College Sports Network thru D*TV. Thanks.

I don't know with multiAVCHD, but I think you need to write an avisynth script and use that as your source.
You could check here, under FAQ: http://neuron2.net/
I use MeGui, and let it determine the avisynth script with it's analyze function. This has worked well for me.
dvwannab
22nd May 2011, 18:14
Thanks Caps, I will try that. I will give MeGui a go first, since I have never used iot before. A new tool to play with. If that doesnt go as well as I like I can use avisynth, as I have in the past.

Ok, sorry to be a pest but I had some success and failure. I found the problem where multiAVCHD was treating my video file as film and applying pulldown. So I used MeGUI to build an avisynth script to set Top Field First and framerate at 29.97 to feed multiAVCHD. I encoded a small portion of video an BINGO jerkiness gone. I imported the AC3 along with the avisynth video file, but multiAVCHD didnt interleave the encoded audio & video files. So I have only a video file.
First question is, can I interleave audio & video in my avisynth script and second, how do I do that.?
I tried:
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\MeGUI_2008_x86\tools\dgavcindex\DGAVCDecode.dll")
Video=AVCSource("C:\Users\2000 FSU vs Miami.dga")
Audio=AC3Source("C:\Users\2000 FSU vs Miami.ac3")
AudioDub(Video,Audio)
assumetff()
AssumeFPS(29.97)
multiAVCHD didnt like that and wouldnt accept the script. Thanks.

That is one reason I do not use multiAVCHD for reencoding my HDTV recordings.
MeGui can mux the audio, but I would not recommend it for that. It does an excellent job of reencoding Blu-ray and AVCHD compliant video, but for the muxing I use tsMuxer.
If your recording is true film with pulldown to achieve 29.97fps, MeGui/avisynth can return 23.976fps with decimate.
An example might be:
tfm(order=1).tdecimate()
I am not sure for your capture, but for mine I use this to bring back 1080P, 23.976fps, with less frames to reencode and it plays back very smooth. :)

Hi! I found the problem where multiAVCHD was treating my video file as film and applying pulldown. So I used MeGUI to build an avisynth script to set Top Field First and framerate at 29.97 to feed multiAVCHD.You should try the following instead:
1) In multiAVCHD, click on the Title to bring up the "Extended Properties"
2) Click on "Alter Detected Properties"
3) Change "Framerate" to 29.970
4) Change "Scan Order" to "Interlaced TFF"

hi, first time user here. I'll try to search for as much as I can, but this app is a little intimidating for someone new to all this...
One question, I made my first test compilation (trying to rip multiple dvds to a single blu-ray) and I think my test was successful, but when I preview my chapter menu thumbnails (and also when I scroll through some of my video to select chapter thumbnails) sometimes I just get a blank blue screen that says multiAVCHD on it.
I checked the source video and it demuxed correctly from the dvd.
I remember reading earlier that you can't always see everything with the preview but you can preview the output before burning to blu-ray, but I'm not sure how to do this. I've got my bdmv directory with the .bdmv files in it but I'm not sure how I open these... I have powerDVD but that's not doing it.
Basically I want to be able to preview that all my menus were created OK and clicking the titles/chapters works before I actually try to burn a blu-ray. (and then i'll probably have some questions there so I lower my chances of making a coaster as much as possible!) :o

Thanks that's some good advice as far as not burning coasters, but it still kind of leaves the problem of wasted time if I do something wrong... If I can actually preview the output using a pc based application that would save me the trouble of burning in the first place if something was wrong.
I'm really having some trouble with getting thumbnails to show in general using the varous multiAVCHD preview functionalities :( I think I have a lot of learning and reading to do before I really understand this app.

Latest supported version: 4.1.769 (version 4.1 build 769) as of September 7th, 2010
That would mean most of the tools, including the x264 encoder would be out of date!

Here's the most 'compliant' way with multiavchd :
Use the 4.1 version (last one on the website)
Make menu in mpg2 instead of normal option cause x264 menu in multiavchd use completly wrong compliant option.
With this, you can get some 'decent' result but don't bet too much on this tool.

You ended up converting a 29.97 interlaced video source to 23.976 progressive and that just does not work. You will end up with stuttering video. You must keep video sourced material at the original frame rate.
Conversion to 23.976 is for material that has 2:3 pulldown content, i.e., scripted dramas that are produced at 23.976 and 2:3 pulldown converted to 29.97.
All sports video is either 720p 59.94 or 1080i 29.97. Keep all sport, or any program that has video sourced material, at the same frame rate.

DESIRED FEATURE
I know that others have looked for this as well. It is a simple text menu. The background image is loadable by the user (nothing new there). The list of titles is a simple, vertically stacked list of titles. The text of said titles is entered by the user. The font family, size and color determined by the user. The starting location of the first title determined by the user. The following titles would start directly below the first title. The leading of the title lines also determined by the user. Lastly, and obviously, a selection button would be placed to the left of the title text and would move up and down, based on the user pressing the up/down buttons. The button indicator can be what is used now for some of the other menus.
What would be nice, but not required, is the ability to have a single space for the title text. Why? That would allow the user to create even fancier title text as part of the background image. The titles with spaces would be aligned with the background menu text. Like I said, not a must.
Why a simple textual based menu? So that it can be readable and have all of the titles listed on a single page. The current Title Menu doesn't work. I've used it and because the thumbnails are so small, any text placed inside of the thumbnail is extremely difficult to read, as pointed out by a person I gave a Blu-ray too.
A majority of the titles I will end up creating will have at most, 8-10 titles, easily viewable on a text based menu screen.
BUGS
This one I reported a wee bit ago. If you only have one title and change any of the properties, you can't save what you've changed. At least I've never found a way to make it happen. You only seem to be able to save property changes if you have at least two titles and select the other title after changing properties of one of the titles. The changing to the properties page of the other title seems to force the changed contents into the area that gets saved.
Another that you see here a lot is the ability to preview the main menu types. It was suggest to me, and the suggestion can be seen in one of the recent posts, is to run the job and create output to put on a DVD-RW. That is all fine and dandy if the job will fit on a DVD. In my case, and others, the output is for Blu-ray media. AFAIK, BD-RW is still way too expensive and besides, that shouldn't be necessary. While I understand that you will only be able to see a still of what the menu would look like when the currently selected title is selected.
Since I gave up on the two main menu types, as they did not show all of the titles on a single screen, one of them (I think the slide one), would result in a very slow process of having to have the player load a whole new menu page instead of smoothly sliding from one title to another. That is extremely annoying and something I consider to be a bug. I thought I saw a sample where it did smoothly change from one title to another. I never got that to work.
I'm sure there are other issues that users have run across, I just do not know what they are. The main thing is to get the simple menu feature working and fix the ability to save property changes, under all conditions. As it stands right now, I have to have two titles before even one of them can have the properties saved. I've learned to have more than one before starting a project.
IMHO, the simple text menu will be a popular feature.

I'd suggest that your negative remarks about "deank" are grossly unjust and uncalled for - especially when you consider that he has VERY ACTIVELY provided support for "multiAVCHD" for more than two years (both here and at his own website).
Further, I can think of no other program, payware, freeware, or otherwise, that has seen the development of so many originally conceived capabilities (AVCHD menu control, multiple format conversion (to and from Blu-ray, AVCHD, HD-DVD, SDVD, Panasonic-specific, subtitle conversion, 3D to anaglyph 3D, etc.).
In light of the fact that your postings to this thread are relatively few and recent, the sentiments you've expressed in post #7138 here are overtly and unfairly negative - as if you have a personal "axe to grind".
Whether "deank" will respond to the post by "Mr. Video" remains to be seen, it's worthwhile to have posted it. If, in fact, "deank" does respond directly, that would be wonderful. But additionally, having the requests in one post may allow for others to respond.

It's just about replying to people which ask questions. At least 5 minutes by week, is it too much ? It's not like Deank is not coding, he is very active on multiman, so why don't speed 5 min by week for previous user ?
Cause it's a non comercial tool ? It's not smart from him.
Topic close for me , i won't waste my time with this question. anymore.
Is that even possible with commercial Blu-rays? You must go to a menu of some sort before you can go to another title.
If you generate a Title Menu, you will then be able to hit the Title button on your remote and then select a different title to play.
If that is not what you mean, please let us know.
Is there anyway to get around this? It would be really nice to be able to hit the "next" button on your remote and go to the next file when you create a disk with MultiAVCHD.

Normally, your "next" button should work.
If the title you are looking is chaptered, the "next" button will skip to the next chapter (if you are not looking the last chapter of course).
When you're looking the last chapter of a title, or a non-chaptered title, the "next" button will skip to the next title (like on simply authored dvd-video).
So you can type the number of the last chapter of the title you're looking (if your player allows it), and then click "next".

The point is, there is no "next title" button, or capability, on players. What Music Fan said about using next at the end of a title is partially correct. What the player does at the end of a title is determined by what the author of the disc set up to do next. It could be set up to go back to the main menu. Or, it could be set to play the next title.
Discs can be authored to do many things.
So, for mAVCHD, if you only put in a single chapter at the end of a title and tell mAVCHD to go to the next title as what to do at the end of the title, then your next button will act at though it is a next title button.
That is the closest you are going to get with any authored disc.

Of course, that's what I meant writing "like on simply authored dvd-video". ;)
When you're looking the last chapter of a title, or a non-chaptered title, the "next" button will skip to the next title (like on simply authored dvd-video).
So you can type the number of the last chapter of the title you're looking (if your player allows it), and then click "next".
This doesn't work for me on MultiAVCHD authored disks (the next button to go to the next title). I haven't tried the number.
What I do is drag a bunch of files over, order them, and then output a disk. But the next button doesn't move from one file to the next.

This idea sounds interesting. So, what you need to do is put a chapter mark, say, 1 second before the end of each file, so that when you skip to the next chapter you are actually skipping to the next title? That's a creative solution.

It won't change anything compared to a non-chaptered title in your case. Actually, you will have an advantage : saving time because you will be closer of the end of the title, thus of the next title.

Is there any way to make the font and icons larger in the chapter menu because it's too small. On the main menu I can adjust the size but I can't find anywhere to do do it for the chapter menu. I'm using the XMB menu, the video has 6 chapters.

Multiavchd support is finished. Now Dean work on his ps3 tool and won't reply to anything about Multiavchd.
Maybe his tool is good for computer but if you wanna make blueray disc, just go away from multiavchd cause it's anti compliant tool.
Here's the most 'compliant' way with multiavchd :
Use the 4.1 version (last one on the website)
Make menu in mpg2 instead of normal option cause x264 menu in multiavchd use completly wrong compliant option.
With this, you can get some 'decent' result but don't bet too much on this tool.
I have lost 1 week and after that i learned how to use scenarist with x264 encoder. As some one said to me 'dont play with toys if you can use pro tool'.
It's just about replying to people which ask questions. At least 5 minutes by week, is it too much ? It's not like Deank is not coding, he is very active on multiman, so why don't speed 5 min by week for previous user ?
Cause it's a non comercial tool ? It's not smart from him.
Topic close for me , i won't waste my time with this question. anymore.
@lutinor: You're a joke and I don't owe you 1 minute even to post this.
About compliance of multiAVCHD's output - it is as compliant as it can be and as its name states "AVCHD". The output works just fine with the strictest AVCHD players (like camcoders and Viera TV sets) - so that's enough for me.
Getting emails from people redirected to my tool by Panasonic Help-Desks speaks enough.
Use Scenarist and just shut up! I don't care about your opinion, nor you can say if I have 5mins per week to share any of my time with you nor anyone else.
multiAVCHD was built with a free tool (CalcIt) and from the start was very limited - both by CalcIT SDK capabilities and mine (since it was my 2nd win32 GUI program).
If you don't like multiAVCHD - don't use it. If you use it - spare the useless posts.
I use the latest build of multiAVCHD almost every day. It works for me. It creates compliant output for my TV, for my PS3 and for many other users. That's good enough for me.
Damn!
Thx for your reply , but i find a way to reach compliant blueray : encode menu mpg2 option. When you use this multiavchd option, menu files are compliant (at least verified 'ok' with pro tool)
Oh, so IT IS compliant after you verified it with you $***** pro tool?

Usually i don't waste my time to teach basic education to immature young men but let me try:
1: Don't tell to me to shut up, i was polite with you, go like that on me please.
2: Using mpeg2 is not good for obvious reason but it's the only way cause you don't want to spend 5 minutes to activate x264 custom command line in last build.
3: x264 in Multiavchd is NOT COMPLIANT, live with it, its a fact, even if 'it works for you'...If i say that Multiavchd can't wash your car , will you go mad ? No ? So why you cry about the compliant question ? It's not compliant final point.
4: Instead of posting something about me cause i don't have a Multiavchd poster in my bedroom, just help people it will be better...The last time you posted on doom9 about multiavchd was when ? Years ago ? And your new post is about a guy which show you 'less cool than you want' ? Give me a break.
5: Don't waste your 'precious' time to reply, i won't even read it, i have my own kids to teach...Have a nice day.
