Hi Dean,

That was lightning fast!!!!Thank you for working hard on this...This definitely deserve a donation...wait till 25th (pay day) and I'll be sure to donate.

Unfortunately It's still not working, The log again did not indicate any error and there was no subtitles included in the mts file. While MultiAVCHD is running, I noticed that it did extract the ASS sub and delete it later however it was not included in the final mts file.

Another issue I noticed is that with another mkv anime with 2 ASS subtitles, it has taken the second subtitle file instead of the first one. In my example, first is English and the second is French, so my AVCHD ended up with French subs instead.

I have 5 episode in the series and 3 out of the five ended up with French subs. I checked in each mkv and all of them have 4 tracks, first is video, followed by audio. Then the two subs where all have the English subs listed as 3rd track and French listed as 4th track.

I'm not sure why AVCHD picked the french sub on 3 out of the 5 files.

Maybe you could relook at the codes on teh above 2 issues. Thanks again Dean!

Hi Dean,

After starting MultiAVCHD v2.5-529 it autoupdates to a new version.
When the autoupdate is done I get this error message when I like to start:

Greetings, PixelPipe

[deank]

@Bajunid: Ok.. sorry about it.. I left out a '/' and it broke it.. It works now in build 534. For safe reasons: run multiUPDATE.exe

I don't know about track order. If you can use your player "SUBTITLE" button - can you switch to other subtitles or it is only the French present?

@PixelPipe: I can't see the attached file. What does it say?

[PixelPipe]

Hi Dean,

it's a picture tha says says: Access violation at address 008c3338 in module 'calclib.dll'. Read of address 00489000

Greetings, PixelPipe

[deank]

1) There should be a "Line: xxx" message.
2) Try to delete your .ini file

Can you run build 534 against these files (use [x] Verbose logging) and post your log, please?

I never took time to refine ssa processing because I don't have such files (mkv + ssa) and there was no way to debug... :(

[PixelPipe]

Hi Dean,

removing the ini-file worked...strange..
Anyway..Thanks for your help :)

Best regards, PixelPipe

Hello Dean,

I have encountered another small difficulty with multiAVCHD although I suspect the problem as such is caused by tsmuxer. Playback of interlaced SD-video at 25/50i fps on my Sony BDP S-350 stutters after the initial 2-3 seconds. After some reading I have discovered that tsRemux seems to cause the same problems, therefor I suspect that tsmuxer changes the frequenz from 50Hz PAL zu 60 Hz resulting in the stuttering playback (pulldown?).

There is a way around this problem which involves multiplexing the files with MacOS Toast Titanium, but if it is indeed a problem of tsmuxer maybe there is a possibility to override its preset with the original media properties? But if not - it only occurs with interlaced Videos... and so far it is more or less a problem of Sony BDP's.

It is weird to have SD content stutter. Can you post your mediainfo log of such input file?

[elijah.baley]

Sorry for the delay ... I can give you two mediainfo logs - original file and a working (!) "toasted" file.

Does it stutter if you process it in tsMuxeR only?

Does BDedit show 576i if you open output bdmv files?

And not last but most important - is your player / TV PAL?

If not - you can't get rid of the stuttering. And most likely in this case it will be 'jumps', not stuttering.

***

edit: use multiUPDATE.exe to minor-update your multiAVCHD and try again, will you?

[elijah.baley]

1. Yes, I had tested multiple ways to make those videos working, including tsmuxer only.

2. BDedit shows 576i for all video files - working / not working (and 1080i for the menu items).

3. the TV is PAL and the "toasted" Version works after all. But its menus are just horrible.


I have just run out of DVD+R :-( so I cannot test changes until next week.

Is it possible that m2ts files played from the BR menu will stutter, if played directly (from the streams menu) they do not stutter? That's exactly the problem I'm having on my PS3. Using the latest version (534) and still doing it.
Scenarios:

1) Insert flash drive with AVCHD folder into PS3 -> Select main playlist -> video stutters, audio clips
2) Browse same flash drive from PS3, play the main m2ts file directly, video and audio are fine.

Been dealing with this for a while now.

[coledow]

i am having some anime, mostly recent ones, freezing up when i play it on my blu ray player. well, the video freezes up the audio is fine. it will freeze on the first frame, if i hit skip, it will take a bit then skip to the next chapter where it'll again freeze on the first frame of that chapter. this is a HD 1280x720 video, and I made sure to force it to 4.1. But I have had other HD anime episodes work fine. I can't figure out what the difference is between the two kinds, they are both h264.

edit: ah, the newer ones have higher reference counts

hi deank.
Your soft is working perfect for me ! But there is a very missing function. The most simple of the world to implement : The Auto-renaming of AVCHD folder.

If we want to add a new movie to an existing AVCHD folder.
We have to manually rename AVCHD to AVCHD_SOMETHING (for example) in the windows explorer. If not the program display an error message.

Is it possible to add a function to avoid this frustrating handling ??

[shv]

There are two bars on the lower left of MultiAVCHD. The light blue seams to work but the grey one above shows 185% after the first movie of a compilation is processed. Its value slightly increases while processing following streams. I don't know what this grey bar shall indicate.

If I understand your problem correct, I suggest you make use of the "custom name" function in the right lower corner, that way your target AVCHD folder will look like this "c:\AVCHD_'custom name'" and your input AVCHD folder (i.e. "c:\AVCHD") remains untouched.

I think that should do the trick for you...

[deank]

Progress % is fixed and if you input AVCHD folder, it will be renamed before importing.

ALWAYS import avchd folders after CLEAN start of multiAVCHD, i.e. - don't do it after a compilation is finished.

If you make a compilation - CLOSE multiAVCHD and then if you need to do anything - start it again. Of course it won't work if you have the input AVCHD folder opened in other applications.

Ok but in that way i ve to rename the AVCHD_CUSTOM into AVCHD after compilation. So the problem is the same,isn't it?

edit after just updating to build 535, i ve an error when i trying to do what you're say and the soft hangs !

[deank]

Okay.. while having this error - can you go and rename this F:\AVCHD yourself? If it errors out it means the folder is LOCKED for some reason. There is nothing I can do.

Are you sure of that ??
I've no other program running except multiAVCHD.
And the soft Unlocker tell me the folder is not locked !!!!
In my opinion if the folder was locked, i could'nt rename it with explorer. And i have no problem to rename it with explorer ...

[shv]

If I drop folders to multiAVCHD the AVCHD/BDMV processing is used by default. With some streams it takes some time to browse into the playlist folder of each stream to select the mpls file and browse out of the folder afterwards. Would it be possible maybe together with the Ctrl or Alt key to select mpls processing instead when I drop a folder to multiAVCHD? In case there are more than one mpls files available a selection window would be necessary to select the proper one.

[deank]

Yes, it is possible... I'll see how I will do it.

i have a new video issue with a new movie (MPLS import) : Kung Fu Panda.
multiAVCHD keep the bad video track (commentary).

[deank]

It keeps track ID#4113 which is supposed to be the main track. I don't see how they can be distinguished automatically... probably by their resolution, but it won't always work of course.

[navycrow]

And with the profile ??? commentary are generally with profile h.264 high@3.2... or vc-1 advanced@2, no ??

or a dialog box could propose the detected track and let the user accept or choose another one ??

edit :
i 've noticed too, in many movies the main video track is generally at the latest position of video tracks....

@navycrow: can you use multiUPDATE.exe and check with some of your multi-video mpls files?

@jhmac: there are other bugs that need more attention than making posters work.

[navycrow]

it's ok now with this movie. it kept the good video track.
in the next day i have other movie to test with multi video tracks... To continue....

i've again a little problem with this movie, there is an audio track (E-AC3) which causes ps3 to hang when selected. i have to test if i get the problem with a standalone avchd created by tsmuxer.

[deank]

Okay... but please test with the mpls's you've already used with multi-video tracks.. to see if it works with them too.

[navycrow]

I can't. The other blu-ray (Changeling) was rented. I don't have it no more. Sorry.
I will receive in the next days 3 new blu-ray disc. Some with multi video tracks, i think. I'll test with them.

[xeniste]

Hi Deank,

You're working hard, as usually - developping besides other tools - bravo!

Still two small questions.
1. Why cannot I change the coulour of the titles - it remains
silver as set by default. I use my own background, as in the past.

2. I have some clips recorded form the satellite in h.264 SD format, audio in mpeg. Normally it goes smooth, U must remember my problems ante eac3to. But if I cut commercials, I have a perfect normally playing .ts file without any problem, in which, after multiAVCHD, I have sound de-sync problem in the second part (after the cut point).

Why ?

Thanx in advance, and good luck!

[coledow]

i am having a problem with subtitles, if a subtitle text is very long, the text gets cut off, it doesn't do a word wrap and stack the text on top of each other. i almost think it makes 1080p subtitles for a 720p video.

[deank]

I tested and it works... Can you use the Preview button and check if you see color change?

I think the problem is with tsmuxer and I posted a message to roman about it.

Use subtitle workshop or other tool to break long subtitles.

If I drop folders to multiAVCHD the AVCHD/BDMV processing is used by default.

Build 536:

While drag/dropping if multiAVCHD detects presence of BDMV\PLAYLIST\0*.mpls it will show additional box if you want to select individual playlists. If you select 'ok' it will open directly the folder to multi-select mpls files to add to compilation.

If you select 'cancel' multiAVCHD will go to AVCHD/BDMV folder import mode (as in previous builds).

Also - a box will show asking if user wants to update to next version - this should prevent update looping for some users.

Build 537: Support for E-AC3 in m2ts/ts files (if importing as files).

[elijah.baley]

Hello Dean,

this has not so much to do with multiAVCHD - it is just to inform you about problems relating tsmuxer and Sony's S-350.
I am (almost) absolutley certain now, that tsmuxer is the program to "blame" for playback incompatibility issues wether or not the discs are burned with ImgBurn or TOAST(mac). I have trashed two DVD+Rs and one DVD-DL over this problem using different ways every time and thus, the results are neither complete nor iron hard proof but, these were the tests and the results:

1. muxing MKV's (576p) with TsMuxer (v.1.99, mac - TOAST has some troubles with MKV's) in .m2ts and burning those with Toast (1x) resulted in the worst stuttering/jumping playback encountered so far.

2. cutting MKV's (576p) with TsMuxer (v.1.99) as m2ts, muxing those with multiAVCHD and burning with TOAST (1x) results in a variety of playback issues. I.e. if "A" is a video containing 2 episodes "A1" and "A2" and those are cut and remuxed as two seperate .m2ts "A1" played back flawlessly whereas "A2" stuttered (but not as bad as in test 1). The stuttering however seized after a few desperate chapter jumps and forward/backward rewind.

3. cutting MKV's (576p) using MKVtoolnix (mac), multiplexing with multiAVCHD and burning with either program works very well - however, the Sony S-350 won't show either the running time of videos or the playback of menu in the display.


Later this day (evening) I will try to add a 576i video to an existing 576p collection after you reported some changes in Build 535.


I have a request though. Would it be possible to add "Font prop's for 480/576 conversions"? Except for FONT SIZE and OFFSET (FONT FAMILY?) is there much need for FONT COLOURS to differ between 720p and 1080p (or if possible 480/576)? If not, this part of the menu could be reduced to something like:
_____________________________________________________
| Font prop's for 480p conversions
| Size: Offset: Bold:
| Font prop's for 576p conversions
| Size: Offset: Bold:
| Font prop's for 720p conversions
| Size: Offset: Bold:
| Font prop's for 1080p conversions
| Size: Offset: Bold:
|
| Font prop's for all conversions
| Family:
| Colour: Border:
|_____________________________________________________


And possibly a little bug (?): adding external audio/subtitles works fine every time with .m2ts and .mkv's as input but not when using .264 as input even if everything else is the same. This just happend to be one of the many tests I tried not documented above.

Stefan

[deank]

576p/i 480p/i resolutions get their subtitles properties based on 720p settings - don't worry - it will work.

Have in mind that 480p and 576p are not standard resolutions for AVCHD/BDMV. 480i and 576i are.

Can you do tests with older versions of tsMuxeR - like 1.8.34... And buy yourself a DVD-RW :)

[nicchap]

Dean,

quick question relating to a previous post of mine (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1275514#post1275514) Does a video stream (m2ts) play differently when initiated via your menu, then when played directly?
I using a NTSC PS3 system.

Thanks again for the excellent work,

NicChap

[deank]

Yes, PS3 uses different players for both modes.

I guess you should check your Display/Video settings in PS3. There are options for BD Video/Cinema conversion, for BD 24Hz playback... Try to change some of them and see if it will make any difference.

[herrde]

I guess you should check your Display/Video settings in PS3. There are options for BD Video/Cinema conversion, for BD 24Hz playback... Try to change some of them and see if it will make any difference.

For example, I think the PS3 doesn't switch to true 1080/24p mode (24 Hz output) if a *.m2ts file is being played in file mode. It has to be played in AVCHD/BD mode. Of course, the option has to be enabled first in the PS3 video settings.

Best,

Gero

[nicchap]

That's great to hear. I'll try and post results when I get home.

Nic.

[deank]

In build 538:

Download the FULL setup if you want to have sound notification when multiAVCHD finishes compiling.

playwav.exe and done.wav are added in tools folder. If you update to latest build but don't like the sound when multiAVCHD finishes - either delete \tools\done.wav or replace it with a (wav) file of your choice.

I kinda found it useful to know when it's done while minimized.

Hi,
2 Questions:
Is the number of chapters in xmb Menu limited to 12?
The Poster Image Button have no function. Is this to add a picture as thumbnail?

Deepstar

[deank]

1) Yes.
2) Yes, not yet.

[navycrow]

today i ve tested a new movie (day earth stool still) with multi video tracks. 100% perfect :)

And cherry on the cake, the audio and forced subtitles works according setting preferences (which was not the case before). Have u change something to support that ??

[Deepstar]

Ok, Thanks

Still stuttering after palying around with various PS3 settings. I'll try to rebuild everything with version 538, but I'm sure it will still happen, given the files play correctly when accessed directly.

[deank]

Yes - I mentioned it. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1274954#post1274954)

Still stuttering after palying around with various PS3 settings.

What media do you use for playback? Can you post what mediainfo says about these files? BD player part of PS3 cares a lot of frame-rate, resolution and other factors. XMB player - doesn't. So if you don't care about HD audio and subtitles - just play those files through XMB.
