multiAVCHD - author Blu-ray/AVCHD (Blu-ray players, camcoders, Viera TV) + (HD) DVD

[krassle]

recently, every disc I make with multiavch is not playing on blu-ray players other than my playstation. I have OPPO 103, I tried on a Panasonic BD80, also just tried at the store on newer Sony and LG and they will say avchd on the tv screen but then they don't play and you can't eject the disc either until you turn the unit off and on again
this also happened to me with my OPPO 103
I have never seen anything like this before as I have made many many discs using multiavchd. I also uninstalled the program and re-installed but have not used it since re-installling
I burned a Memorex BD-RE , HP DVD +R, TDK +R; all failed when playing on blu-ray players.
all discs work fine on the computers and are recognized right away; also work on my playstion but not anywhere else

1. Make sure discs are finalized & UDF format used(ImgBurn normally takes care automatically)
2. Burn contents of the output AVCHD_* directory only, not the directory itself.
3. Try using "AVCHD for optical media" - > "AVCHD(strict)"
4. If no luck try DVD -R disc (not every standalone bdp takes AVCHD format from dvd+r discs)

Good luck.

Is it possible to merge two BD's in the same manner as DVDRemake where both discs are untouched and a new top menu is added to select which disc to play?
It sounds like something this program should be capable of.

The window size of my interface isn't correct.. Maximized or not the START & STOP buttons can't be seen.. If I try and make the Log Window larger it stretches the LOAD & SAVE buttons and never
displays the buttons on the far right.. How can I fix this? I've tried re-installing.. TIA

Fnts size in windows I looked at some of the font settings in my Win 7. Didn't see anything that helped.. Changing some of the settings within Multiavchd now..
restored defaults and loaded an old profile I had saved.. It's looking better. Still wondering what got screwed up to change the layout of the Gui.

Instead of using the avchd folder multiavchd create, I navigate to the m2ts video file in the stream folder and load that in TsMuxer to output AVCHD disk (bdmv folder). Then burn the bdmv folder to disc with IMGBurn. As far as multiavchd, I make sure Force H.264 level flag to 4.1 is checked and choose avchd disc for encoding. For audio, I use Aften Ac3 in MeGUI to encode 1536 DTS to 640 ac3. The video play in both Panasonic and LG Blu-ray players. The video automatically plays when you load it. No menus though. I use the skip function on the remote to select chapters. It will even give you the option to resume play from where you left off when you stop play or powered off the blu-ray player. Multiavchd still works well for me in Windows 8.1.

[DoctorM]

Ran into an interesting one with a BD where the bonus feature is a direct port from the DVD at 720x480@29.97i mpeg-2.

I stripped some stuff from the disc, leaving the bonus untouched, but the rebuilt output altered the .m2ts properties to say the video was AVC 1080i with a high bitrate and no audio tracks. Playing it back under MPC was fine, but I have no idea what that was about.
I had to recopy from the source files to fix it.

[braxxan]

I've been using multiAVCHD for quite some time now and I haven't had this problem before. I think I may have deleted something while running anti-malware or changed something when trying out different audio software.

multiAVCHD is no longer creating audio for some reason with any file I run through it and I cannot figure out why. I've been using multiAVCHD for a couple years without problems and didn't alter any of the settings. I've tested it on 2 computers and it's just this one that I'm having this problem with.

I'm running windows 7. I've uninstalled/reinstalled multiAVCHD, haali, avisynth, ffdshow in their proper order. I've run the multitest tool with no problems. As far as I can tell the settings on multiAVCHD are the same on my old computer that runs it fine. I've run the windows 7 filter tweaker with various settings without success.

The only thing that worked for me was extracting the audio files, converting it to .WAV, remuxing it as an .MKV and then running it through multiAVCHD. But I would rather figure out how to get the program running as it should be.

Would greatly appreciate any ideas on how to correct this!

This is my first time using a forum so if I've done something wrong please feel free to let me know!

[Flanker-B]

I can't register to the official support forum so I'll post my question here.

Whenever I try to author a BluRay disc from a mkv file containing trueHD audio track multiAVCHD fails and crashes. I tried extracting the truehd track to thd file, but the same thing happens when I add that external file to my title already added to MultiAVCHD project (removing the internal truehd file). The same thing happens with mkvs containing LPCM audio tracks. Usually I use eac3to to convert the truehd to ac3, but lately eac3to gives out an error "to many audio samples in frame" with truehd tracks.

Is there a way to fix multiAVCHD's trueHD support.

[Flanker-B]

Not to beat a dead horse, but seriously? No one has seen a BD imported for reauthoring increase in size?

I've seen it in several occasions in multiavchd. Last time it was that 4k mastered edition of the original Verhoven's RoboCop. I think that it's caused by different playlists for same main movie. (Robocop had 2 playlists for the main movie - one for the version with english audio and other audio languages (except Japanese), and one playlist for version with Japanese audio). I think that this occurs on most multi region releases because the, for some unknown resaon, have separate playlist for Japanese audio version. Movies like that create problems for other software also (like BDrebuilder). I think that "Close Encounters of The Third Kind" might also have this issue because of three different versions of the movie on the same disc.

I still don't know how to solve it except blanking unwanted playlists.

[DoctorM]

Flanker-B, I've seen it a lot now. I agree with you, that appears to be the cause. I haven't seen BD RB tripped up by this yet.

It DOES make stripping a bit easier better though. You should be able to remove playlists (and unique m2ts files) that you don't want without accidentally removing m2ts files in the playlists you do want. (I still need to test this more to make sure.)

Simple example:
Playlist1: English Opening Credits -> chunk of movie -> English Closing Credits
Playlist2: French Opening Credits -> (same) chunk of movie -> French Closing Credits.

BD RB links these so you can't strip playlist2 without stripping all of playlist1 as well.
multiavchd seems to make a second copy of the 'chunk of movie' that is shared by both playlists.
As a result you SHOULD be able to blank playlist2 without effect to playlist1.
If you don't strip one of the playlists though the output disc will be larger than the input.

[Flanker-B]

Yeah, I know that blanking is the only option for now in multiavchd for these kind of movies.

PS: That other problem I'm having (the truehd issue), I've found the cause (but not a solution): tsmuxer, even the latest version, has no support for truehd audio tracks if they don't have ac3 core integrated. For now there's no proper solution for that issue, unles you want to use some other software to extract that truehd audio track manually (like eac3to, or mkvcleaver - requires mkvmerge) and then converting it to ac3 or dts (using eac3to - dts requires surcode dts audio encoder which isn't free) or dts-hd (using dts-hd master audio suite - not free).

[DoctorM]

I didn't think TrueHD had a core like DTS does. Still, if so, eac3to to extract the core before starting and then use multiAVCHD you can replace the original track with the new one shouldn't be too much effort at all.

[Asmodian]

TrueHD does not have a core like DTS does but it does, usually, contain an AC3 version of the audio interleaved into the TrueHD track as a backup for players that cannot play TrueHD. This AC3 track is not required by the TrueHD track at all and if it is missing eac3to will not be able to extract it. I wonder how one would add this AC3. Could you take the TrueHD track, encode it to AC3, and interleave it with the TrueHD?

[von Suppé]

Could you take the TrueHD track, encode it to AC3, and interleave it with the TrueHD?

Yes, you can with eac3to. Input TrueHD only file. Output as .thd+ac3 file. Eac3to will (temporarily) decompress TrueHD into multi-track pcm and from that generate an AC3 (max 5.1) track. The output file will contain both the TrueHD and AC3 audio, which you can use for muxing to blu-ray.

Not much of a command-liner myself, I use UsEac3To to do that and you can set bitrate if you want, even 640 kbps.

Cheers

I believe it's possible to do this. I did once and it worked, with eac3to. The exact command I found here in forum, IIRC as simple as input.THD output.AC3 or output THD+AC3.

While it's possible to mux only THD into a file (M2TS), if this is supposed to be a BD, then the player would probably refuse to play it, for being non-standard. However, it is possible that some players have more "relaxed" checks and could play a THD track without an AC-3 interleaved.

[von Suppé]

... it is possible that some players have more "relaxed" checks and could play a THD track without an AC-3 interleaved.
I know there are players that will play BD with TrueHD only tracks without a problem.
But if your (pre-)amp isn't able to decode TrueHD and needs SP/DIF AC3 or analogue inputs, it's also necessary that the BD player can decode TrueHD and DA-convert into multi-channel analogue outputs, or "downconvert" the TrueHD-only track into AC3. I know there are BD players that can't do any or both.

[Music Fan]

Interesting, and when thd+ac3 is chosen as output in eac3to, does it create 2 files or one containing both tracks ? If it's one, what is its extension ?

[von Suppé]

It's one file with the extension .thd+ac3

Cheers

[Music Fan]

Thanks, can it be muxed into ts (or m2ts) and mkv ?

[von Suppé]

Latest tsMuxer can mux this .thd+ac3 file into m2ts or BD disc without a problem.

With mkv it's different: this container can't have both the TrueHD stream with the embedded AC3 in 1 single stream. Should you want both audio in a mkv container you need 2 separate streams for muxing. One AC3-only (lossy) and one TrueHD-only (lossless). You can add both files in mkvmerge (with your video and subs) and output as mkv. If you would then take a look to the output file, MediaInfo will state that there are 2 audiotracks: 1 AC3 and 1 TrueHD.

To be complete with DTS-MA it's different; the DTS-MA/core track can - must, actually - be muxed as 1 track (file) into mkv, just as you would with BD. MediaInfo says then the file has one audiotrack: DTS-MA/core (lossy & lossless).

Dolby TrueHD+AC3 and DTS-MA/core audio are different in their build-ups. As Asmodian said earlier, the Dolby audio contains an independent TrueHD (lossless) stream and is interleaved with an independent AC3 (lossy) stream.
DTS-MA/core audio contains an independent (dvd-like), lossy DTS stream and the (dependent) additional audio-data in the second stream. The 2 of them combined makes the lossless DTS-MA audio. So, actually, one would not be able to mux DTS-MA-only (as we know it for BD and mkv anyways) separately; it needs the data in the lossy DTS track.

I did read somewhere else that independent DTS-MA-only-streams do exist (so, without the lossy DTS), but with what extension and to what use I can't remember.

This post would be incomplete without me to say that, should one have supporting playback/audio equipment, it's a good alternative to recompress TrueHD or DTS-MA into flac. It takes much less space and because both input and output are lossless, no audio-information will be lost (maybe dialog normalisation, but this stands besides intrinsic audio-quality)

Cheers

[Music Fan]

Thanks von Suppé for all these explanations.:)
Last thing : is there a trick to mux a True HD track with an ac3 track (both having exactly the same duration) into a single .thd+ac3 file or this interleaved file can only be created from a single True HD track ?
It's just by curiosity, I understand that it's not very useful because if one really need to have another ac3 track, it can be muxed into m2ts in addition to the .thd+ac3.
The only utility I see would be to avoid to increase the total bitrate if one need an ac3 track with a different mix than the True HD track.

[von Suppé]

Interesting question, Music Fan, if I understand it right. Makes me curious also :)
I can't tell, to be honest.
As eac3to is somehow able to interleave its self-created AC3 stream with its TrueHD-only source, one would think it may be possible too with a TrueHD-only stream and any AC3 stream, for that matter.

If it's possible I think it has to be done with command-line, with which I am a noob. Or maybe with another, more comprehensive front-end than UsEac3to.

Considering your exact duration remark, I do wonder if the two streams have to be so.
If - within a .truehd+ac3 track - the TrueHD stream has a higher samplefrequency than the embedded AC3 stream, I can imagine these two tracks not being of exactly the same duration (pure absolutely calculated).
I think bitdepth differences should be no problem also then.
It can be fun to experiment a bit with this and see what happens.

But maybe it's easier to not re-invent a wheel and probably the cli die-hard guys in the eac3to thread in this forum can tell more about it.

Cheers

[Music Fan]

I guess it is possible (but is maybe not available yet but could perhaps be added), because just after having created the ac3 track from the True HD, thus just before interleaving them, there are 2 tracks. And I don't see the difference between taking this ac3 stream (existing as a temporary file) and another (already existing) for the interleaving operation.

[tebasuna51]

It's not possible even with command line.

BTW UsEac3to work like a command line without worry about paths to eac3to or input/output files.

[von Suppé]

It's not possible even with command line.
Thanks for your quick reply, tebasuna51.

Well, no need to try & find things out, Music Fan. FYI I'm following the eac3to - audio conversion tool thread too.

I am stuck with theatrical and extended version of "Tora! Tora! Tora!" movie to which I want to add french.sup subs to the extended version only.
MPLS files 00312 and 00335 are related to theatrical version and linked to 00303,00304,00305,00306,00307 and 00308.M2TS files.
For Extended version, mpls files 00313 and 00336 are linked to those M2TS files: 00304, 00306, 00308, 00309, 00310 and 00311.
Whatever mpls I've choosen to add subs to, gave me a 69 GB output which is close to an additional 30 GB for the BD. I've spent many hours with no way to resolve the issue. I've read many posts, made search but have not seen anything that could bring suggestions.
How can it be authored ? Only adding subs to one version should be easy ? Help me please!

[Dofin]

Deank:
I was wondering if this simple workaround for branched playlists (different movie versions, not series) would work for you..

1) Load your original BDMV
2) Re-author it
3) Close multiAVCHD and start it again
4) Load the re-authored BDMV folder
5) Set [x] Move transitional files [x] all
6) Blank the unwanted playlist
7) Re-author...

In reference to the above message, could you explain me more #6 ? Which mpls do I blank, keeping in mind that I want Theatrical version untouched. Extended version has already been remuxed by added subs. The first pass left me with a 69GB BRA (I choose to add subs to 00336.mpls
Thanks for your help

@Dofin

Hi!

According to "BluRay.com" The Blu-ray disc you've described (Theatrical and Extended) includes (among many others) French subtitles.If this is so, what's the nature of your problem?

[Capsbackup]

You will have a problem importing subtitles with multiAVCHD if it is a multipart movie, with several m2ts files. Each m2ts file will have its corresponding subs. So unless you have the ability to make your desired sub to import match with each and every m2ts file, which will not be easy, you will not be able to. :(

[Dofin]

That's what I thought. I also use BDFix but it is the same mandatory steps to provide sup for each mpls.
I better try to get rid of Theatrical version which I do not need. I'll make a search in the Forum, on how to do it. If you have any tips or links, it will be appreciated. Thanks for your answer.

[Music Fan]

You could maybe try to mux the sup with audio & video with TSmuxer, replace the movie with this m2ts in the original folder and make some corrections with BD-Edit to be sure that the movie and the new subtitles will be correctly integrated in the structure and accessible by the menu.
I'm not sure that multiAVCHD could help you in this case.

I've had no luck with re-authoring seamless branched BD's in MultiAVCHD. Also with some HD audiotracks there were issues of which I think were in the demuxing area.
Should you want only 1 edition and not worry about 100% original menu, I'd try to demux your desired playlist with HdBrStreamExtractor (front-end to eac3to).
Mux these files together with your French SUP stream in newest tsMuxer into BD folder structure. If this goes well try to import that BD folder in MultiAVCHD and you can add manual menu if you like. Keep "Move transitional files" and "(all)" both checked in settings tab and export as BD.

[Dofin]

According to "setarip_old"'s suggestion, I've resolved any issues and bought a BD that has both french audio and subs. I am really deceived with this ending but I've spent too many hours still and can not consacrate my summer's afternoons and evenings on something that could be resolved with proper skills but maybe a little beyond my comprehension. I'll wait till science advances a bit more and provides tools I can handle. Thanks to all of you that gave me tips and encouragement.

Trying to author an AVCHD with a single subtitle track and preferably 640Kb DD or better audio from a MKV containing a single subtitle track and a PCM stereo track (muxed in with MKVmerge). The MKV plays perfectly as a file (VLC), but although the multiAVCHD output provides subtitle selection, none appears, and it converts the PCM stereo track to 128Kb DD, rather than the expected 640Kb DD.

What am I doing wrong?

PS - Tried allowing PCM as-is among the audio/subtitle settings and result is build failure! PCM is apparently not a supported multiAVCHD output, but not clear from the settings why multiAVCHD forces PCM audio to 128Kb/s DD! 128Kb DD is a far cry from HD audio and PCM is in fact HD. How can PCM be forced to 640Kb DD?

Am seriously hoping someone can help me with this -- is driving me just a little crazy! :(

[Music Fan]

Are you sure the subtitle track disappeared ? What does your player indicate when you click on the subtitle key of your remote ?
If it's not available, try to load it separately in multiAVCHD (properties, external subtitles tab).
If you don't have the original subtitle file, you can extract it of the mkv with MKVExtract.

For your audio problem, if it's encoded in 128k while your clearly specified 640k, you can also try to encode it yourself with eac3to then load this ac3 track separately (audio tab).
In this case, disable eac3to in multiAVCHD.

I used Audacity to adjust the original LD PCM to sync with the file film. Happily, I learned it could also convert the .WAV to AC3 640Kbps, so that solved that problem -- after I merge it with the file, multiAVCHD passes it straight through.

I'm using VLC to check the playback, first of the merged file, then of the 00000.m2ts file, and finally to playback the AVCHD DVD DL. I started checking the .m2ts file after wasting two DVD blanks. I'm using all default settings for the original movie file subtitles and am able to select between subtitles and disabled (VLC menu bar), but no actual subtitles appear on the screen.

PS. Thanks for the tip, will look into MkvExtract!
PPS. Just occurred to me the subs are probably not contained within the stream file, just indices.

[TrevorS]

Used MkvExtract to retrieve the sub file and replaced the current entries under the properties tab. Ran the whole thing again, burned the title, and VLC AVCHD playback still doesn't show subtitles. At least the audio's correct now!

Geez, just tried the stupid disc in my Panasonic BDT110 BD player and it stops playing about 11sec in -- now what? (Yes, ImgBurn verified the disc and the medium is Verbatim, very reliable -- plus VLC plays it fine.)

multiAVCHD may have a problem with this sub, you can try to convert it in Blu-ray sup format (also good for AVCHD) with Subtitle Edit or BDSup2Sub and load it in multiAVCHD's external subtitles tab.

Strange, maybe a little muxing problem with multiAVCHD which uses TSMuxer, you can try to replace the old TSMuxer with the last one in multiAVCHD's folder.

edit : you can also export with TSmuxer in AVCHD or Blu-ray format, it will convert your subtitle in Blu-ray sup. Then you can take the m2ts and import it in multiAVCHD if you need menu or add other titles.

Just discovered the very first disc I burned using the original 720p film file plays fine on the Panasonic and also displays the subtitles. So outside of my problem with getting the right audio, the playback problem is probably nothing to do with multiAVCHD and I'm guessing VLC simply doesn't display subtitles when playing back BD/AVCHD -- though haven't yet verified that with a retail disc.

The playback halt after 11sec occurs on all three discs I burned after that first one that works. There are two differences between the first and the rest. One is that the first was the last of my Fuji DL media, now I'm on Verbatim DL. Second is that the last three all had their video re-rendered with Handbrake to try to enhance the image quality. Do you happen to know of any potential incompatibilities between Handbrake output and retail BD players? I'm using H264 level 4.1 for the renders.

[Music Fan]

I never used Handbrake but level 4.1 is supposed to be good for AVCHD or Blu-ray.
For encodings, I use Hybrid, not simple at first sight but very complete and often updated ;

The Blu-Ray(and AVCHD?) specs are very restricted, I doubt you can meet them with HandBrake. Some hardware players can be very picky about it.

Hi there,
I loaded two bdmv folders and wanted to know why I can't merge the playlists? What prevents this from happening? They are both 1920x1080 AVC H.264 16:9 videos.

I have a different folder with three different titles, each extracted from an original bluray but one is 480i, another 720p and the other 1080p but for some reason when they are loaded I can use "merge playlist".

What am I missing?

Thanks so much

I included pack #2 as "Appleseed", #4 as "Kids" and #5 as "Hi-Tech" in the full download of multiAVCHD.

***

And another update:

Build 732+

* Few minor fixes
* Option to MERGE playlists (without merging the media).

Once multiAVCHD detects that the user has loaded ONLY [p] or [m] plalysts (more than 1) it will switch the 'transcode' button to 'merge playlists' button.

Clicking the button will make multiAVCHD merge all playlists in one, remove the loaded playlists from the compilation and load the newly created/merged one.

http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/multiAVCHD_plmerge.jpg

Merging will create one big playlist file from all imported playlists. All chapters are preserved, subpath items like menus and pop-ups are also copied and intact.

The resultant folder with the merged content can be used only by multiAVCHD. It cannot be played or used otherwise. Still you can process the merged playlist with other tools like eac3to and tsMuxeR.

[m] playlist contents (m2ts/clpi) (multiAVCHD compilations) will be moved to the merged folder if [x] Move transitional files option is checked
[p] playlists will get their contents copied and not moved unless you tick the extra option [x] all.

If contents are moved, merging takes less than 1 second even when merging 20 playlists (with a total of 200 m2ts files). :)

The merged folder is an intermediate and you must create a compilation out of it to get a playable/usable structure.

***

With these two options: VOLUME SPLIT and PLAYLIST MERGE multiAVCHD looks complete. These two provide endless possibilities to manage your playlists.

With the custom menu and the template packs users can create virtually any type of menu. Credits to drelin for all the ideas, testing and creativity!

Enjoy it :)

[bmcelvan]

Anyone know why or when you can merge playlists in multiavchd? Sometimes I have mutiple BDMV folders, playlists or titles and I can merge they playlists...which is great. And other times I can't, for example right now I have two 1080p videos with the same aspect ratio, etc and it only has transcode...does the audio have to be identical. What am I missing?

[Keridos]

Hi there, I have an issue with the program: I have 10 mkv files I want to put on a Bluray, but 5 of them are actaully 25 fps but it detects 50fps. But altering the detected properties does not actually fix the end product, all the videos on the BluRay have their Video played back in double speed. How can I prevent tsmuxer (which i think that is) from muxing it into 50 fps video?

[Music Fan]

Are you sure your videos are not interlaced ? If they are, you have to put 50i for the framerate in MKVmerge, or put 25 fps in TSMuxer, then open the video in multiAVCHD.

MediaInfo shows 25fps, VLC aswell, even when i run tsmuxer and analyze the file it reports 25fps, no idea where multiavchd gets the 50fps from.

/edit I think i found the culprit, it is an awful outdated MEdiaInfo as it seems. I just tested the old version and it reports 50 fps and 25fps original for some reason. Now i need to find a way for MultiAVCHD to use the new version, but it seems to not like its output.

/edit2: After remuxing it with mkvmerge to 25p it plays wrong in VLC aswell, It seems it actually was 50p but for some reason it had 25fps in its header. And then multiAVCHD derped the whole thing even more making the video double speed although it correctly detected the framerate. Maybe it was tsmuxer bugging. Checking now after mkvmerging it to 50fps to see if it now works better.

Are you really sure it's not interlaced ? Because 50i is 25 fps for MediaInfo (f = frame, and a frame include top and bottom fields, whatever the source is interlaced or progressive, that's why 25i makes more sense than 50i, the number should always refer to the frames, not the fields, as for progressive sources. The i or p is enough to tell if it's interlaced or progressive).
To see if it's interlaced with MediaInfo, go in tree view instead of basic, scan type will show if it's interlaced or progressive.
