Quick question here, if you guys don't mind . . .

I was just wondering if there is a way to combine multiple .mts files into a single .mts file using multiAVCHD. If so, how? I don't see that option in the "edit" menu under the "media" tab.

If it can't be done in multiAVCHD, is there another program that would help with that?

Thanks for the help! :) Yes, you put your mts files into a folder and drag it to multiAVCHD program window.Dean, for some reason I'm still having some difficulty with this process. Here is a screenshot of the two video files loaded into multiAVCHD individually.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/Revivalist/08-Miscellaneous/screen1.jpg

As you can see, the audio is LPCM 8.0. Both files show exactly the same thing in the audio tab.

Here are the settings I am using in the Subtitles & Audio menu.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/Revivalist/08-Miscellaneous/screen2.jpg

I removed the two original files and instead I dragged the folder that contains the two files into the media window. A window asked me if I would like to "join all in one title" and I clicked "yes." After they were processed, here is what the log says.

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/Revivalist/08-Miscellaneous/screen4.jpg

Going to the edit window for the new file, here is what I see

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/Revivalist/08-Miscellaneous/screen5.jpg

The audio seems to have been converted to AC3 6ch. Also, the duration seems to say something strange.

Did I do something wrong here? I'm wondering how I can join files that have LPCM 8ch and keep the same audio format.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure if this is a related issue, but it seems that for some reason multiAVCHD is not picking up accurate audio format for some movies. . . .

The program for mts/m2ts joining is tsdemux and I guess it is not encoding your audio to AC3, but simply is using the first non-LPCM track (which is AC3).

I am not sure why you want to 'join' these files - you can import the playlists (which contain multiple playitems / m2ts files) and everything will be okay.

And about LPCM 1ch - it is a bug in mediainfo, which reports wrong channels for LPCM - it will be processed correctly, don't worry.

Ok, I loaded the whole playlist in multiAVCHD and here's what I got. You can see the what BDInfo says as well . . .

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j160/Revivalist/08-Miscellaneous/BDInfo.jpg


Here's the problem I'm having. This movie includes .mt2s files with “presentation graphics” for various languages (English, Spanish, and French). For example, in the screen shot of multiAVCHD, if you look closely you can see in the video display that the file shown has Spanish presentation graphics. If I scroll to a later part of the movie, it will show the exact same scene again with English or French presentation graphics.

You can also see that the duration of the movie is shown as 1:51:20 when in actuality the movie is really only 1:34:30 as shown in BDInfo. (I made sure to put the longest playlist at the top of BDInfo.)

In BDInfo I was able to identify that the files with a “(1)” or “(2)” at the end of their names are files that have Spanish or French “presentation graphics.” For example, the file 00032.m2ts is followed by 00098.m2ts (1) which is the same video but with Spanish graphics, and then 00099.m2ts (2) which is the same video again but with French graphics.

This is the reason that multiAVCHD shows the movie as longer than it really is, it’s because it is including the Spanish and French files along with the English files.

So I thought that the way around this is to manually load only the English .m2ts files and then have multiAVCHD join them. But that’s when I ran into the problem that the audio was coming out as AC3, not LPCM.

So now I’m wondering what the best solution is here. Is it possible to load the whole playlist and then remove the unwanted .m2ts files that have Spanish or French presentation graphics in multiAVCHD. Is there a way to manually delete certain files from being included in the playlist?

Thank you for the help!

Sadly, multiAVCHD is not mature enough to re-process multi-angle and multi-language -branched playlists.

A major setback for me is that I don't have a blu-ray reader, nor I own any blu-ray discs to test with.

I do a lot of the things blindly hoping they will work :)

I guess it is time to amazon myself with some titles and do some more tests.

At the moment I can't suggest anything, but simply using BD-Rebuilder, which is the perfect way to go in your case anyway.

@Revivalist

As an alternative to the suggestion by "deank", for movie-only, you could (WITHOUT using "AnyDVDHD") load your original "Meet the Robinsons" BluRay disc into "MakeMKV" and, with one click, remove the copy protection, automatically join the proper files required to allow you to choose which of the three "angles" you want to process (as well as about 100 other miscellaneous files that are not part of the actual main movie, such as extras), and then create an MKV - which can then be processed by the impressive "multiAVCHD".

This method will take far less time than using the excellent "BD-Rebuilder"...

Few changes in builds 701-702+:

* GUI changes in AUTHOR, SUBTITLES and SETTINGS tabs
* Font options for 1080p are removed - one base setting for all resolutions is available now
* Option for font size to be used in XMB, SLI and CAR menu styles for title names and extended info (as in XMB)
* Options to choose if multiAVCHD is allowed to auto-load external audio/subtitles/posters/chapters in Author tab
* When loading external audio tracks and they're not properly detected - a second attempt is performed (with eac3to). If it fails, audio track goes to "Other audio" tab in "Title properties" (not a big deal, unless you want to change the delay setting).
* Few other small changes...

Thanks for the ideas guys . . .

I actually got it sorted out using tsMuxeR. I just loaded the playlist and selected "English." It automatically removed the other language files. I was also able to select only the high-def audio and output the result as a .m2ts file. Then I put this into multiAVCHD along with my other movies. Worked great! . . .

The only thing is that for some reason, multiAVCHD doesn't want to give the movie the poster I selected. I always find the frame that shows the title of the movie and then select that as the poster. However, for some reason, the result in the carousel menu shows the poster as just the first frame of the movie. So instead I download an image of Meet The Robinsons and used this as the poster and this method worked.

I found I had to do this same thing to put a post for the movie TinkerBell . This movie did not need to be processed through tsMuxeR because it was already a single .m2ts right off the DVD. However, for some reason this movie also did not want to let me use a frame of the movie for the poster. I had to use a downloaded image. I also found that when I go back and view the 4GB .m2ts files that multiAVCHD produced, they look like unrecognizable artifacts. But on the PS3 the movie looks fine! . . . It's the strangest thing. . . .

Dean, I'll send that folder along to you as soon as I can. It might be a while because my desktop computer just crashed a few days ago. Too much blue-ray encoding!

multiAVCHD build 703-704

Fixes/changes for audioBD / audioAVCHD compilations:

* Chapter jumps, fast forward and rewind now work properly.
* If multiAVCHD is unable to detect album duration it will look for specific lines at the end of the .cue file (if cue file is present): INDEX 99 MM:SS:00
* If .cue file is not present and album duration is not detected it defaults to 2 hours (7200 seconds)
* If. cue file is present but there is no "INDEX 99" album-duration-indication, then duration defaults to last track start time + 5 mins
* build 704 addresses some problems with .dtshd files if .cue file is not present or if .cue filename is different than the .dtshd filename.
* Prompt pop-up for manual duration entry is added in format HH:MM:SS when multiAVCHD is not able to detect audio album duration.

The best way to import an album title (many songs in one audio file) is to use .CUE sheet playlist.

CUE/M3U/WPL playlists are supported ONLY with DRAG & DROP to multiAVCHD app window or by loading an audio file, which has a .cue file named after it (audio.dtshd and audio.cue). Never drag both files - use only the .cue or only the audio file.

Example of .cue file playlist for 'album-audio file' (songs defined by chapter marks/INDEX 01) with manually added playlist duration of 65mins 13seconds (1hr 5mins 13secs):


FILE "c:\music\2LP.dtshd" BINARY
TRACK 01 AUDIO
TITLE "track-01-01[1]-01-[C]-24-48000"
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 AUDIO
TITLE "track-01-01[1]-02-[C]-24-48000"
INDEX 01 01:07:47
TRACK 03 AUDIO
TITLE "track-01-01[1]-03-[C]-24-48000"
INDEX 01 04:53:09

...

TRACK 19 AUDIO
TITLE "track-01-01[1]-19-[C]-24-48000"
INDEX 01 49:34:42
TRACK 20 AUDIO
TITLE "track-01-01[1]-20-[C]-24-48000"
INDEX 01 55:20:37

TRACK 99 AUDIO
TITLE "END"
INDEX 99 65:13:05



And don't forget that you can mix audio titles with video titles :) You can also have a movie trailer, audio album, 720p movie, 480i movie, 1080i camcoder recording, 1080p blu-ray rip in the same compilation.

p.s. Thanks to keysersose for all the tests, support and suggestions!

I was thinking about this the last few days... And I may put out a tool for blanking Blu-ray titles and editing playlists (mpls files) - changing/adding chapters, blanking intros and warnings, etc. A user tested some of the things I plan to feature and it worked for blanking 130 m2ts files with proper playlists + saving a lot of space.

This will of course lead to making multiAVCHD honor (ask user for) a selected LANGUAGE to keep while doing the playlist processing.

Hi Dean
Just a quick question (im being lazy not going through the tutorial) I am having problems with BD Rebuilder and not having ever used MultiAVCHD had a question.
I only ever copy movie only and of course some are too large to fit on a 25 disc.
Can I use MultiAVCHD to produce a re-encoded BD25 standard disc (i.e. NOT AVCHD).

deank
27th September 2009, 11:27
Yes, multiAVCHD supports Blu-ray output. You can check the 1st page of this thread:

Supported output / authoring formats:

* Blu-ray (with menu)
* AVCHD for optical media (DVD and Blu-ray discs) (with menu)
* AVCHD for solid media (USB, SD, SDHC, Memory Stick) (with menu, except for Panasonic modes)
* SD_VIDEO for SDHC MPEG-2 compatible players (Panasonic BDP/Viera) (no menu)
* HD-DVD for DVD-R/RW for HD-DVD players compatible with 3xDVD (no menu)

Thanks Dean

Just to save me so much time getting started, if I have the following ripped from original disc:

1 X m2ts file (0000)
1 X mpls file (0000)
and of course these are within the normal BD containers.

The m2ts file is greater than will fit on a BD25 and I want no menu (no frills) just want a BD structure on the 25 disc (movie only) then what settings do I need on your s/w

deank
27th September 2009, 14:35
You can load the playlist file, go to "Title properties" (edit button in media tab), click the "Normal playlist" button to show "join/split" (it may not be needed) and hit TRANSCODE - then set the options for reencoding... or load the playlist and click "FIT ALL" button.

@deank - thanks for a great app, have used it in the past to make menus for my Panasonic TZ7 files.

Can it be used to create an AVCHD from a DVD ? I just launched the process so I guess I'll find out in a few hours time, but one thing I noticed is that you can't deselect languages and subtitles. Maybe the DVD would need to be converted to an mkv first with makemkv, then stripped with mkvmerge and fed into multiavchd. Tried it the manual way reencoding with Handbrake but mkv2vob refuses to convert the video to the proper AVCHD resolution.

Thanks !

deank
28th September 2009, 12:18
I'm not really sure what you're asking :)

If you drop a VIDEO_TS folder (or some .ifo files) DVD will be loaded in multiAVCHD.

If you're planning on using the output with DVD or BD-R media - then you don't have to transcode it from MPEG2 to AVC.

If you're going to use it in viera or panasonic bdp with SDHC card - then multiAVCHD will create SD_VIDEO folder with your MPEG-2 files (MOD/MOI).

Subtitles and audio tracks can be changed in "title properties".

Since you're already reencoding (or not?) the DVD - then it should be all okay in the end :) DVD video is already BD/AVCHD compliant in terms of resolution.

webvan
28th September 2009, 12:32
Thanks, sorry forgot to mention I was looking at playing it in my PS3.

I have indeed reencoded to AVC with handbrake yes to reduce the size of the video, but I'm hitting roadblocks. The video I'm working with is a PAL 720x576 and for a reason that escapes me Handbrake encoded a 718x552. I'm going to feed it to uncropMKV and uncrop it to 720x576 to see if mkv2vob will accept to reencode it, unless you have a better suggestion ?

deank
28th September 2009, 12:34
Load your dvd (or the file from handbrake) into multiAVCHD and go to Title properties - TRANSCODE (no need to use uncropMKV).

Also - make sure you don't have any resize/subtitle options enabled in ffdshow that would cause wrong resolutions.

In the transcode window you will see the actual size of the video.

webvan
28th September 2009, 14:23
Thanks, not sure what was going with the aspect ratios with handbrake and mkv2vob so I started from scratch by reloading the mkv I made with makemkv, unselected the languages and subtitles I don't need and am now transcoding the original 6Gb mpeg2 into a 800mb x264 file says there is one hour to go on my Q8200 quad core ;-)

28th September 2009, 14:25
Transcoding with multiAVCHD?

webvan
28th September 2009, 14:28
Yes, and I forced it to 1280x720 so hopefully this time it will have the proper aspect ratio.

deank
28th September 2009, 14:30
If you see the preview during the transcoding then you can have an idea of the output AR :)

webvan
28th September 2009, 14:55
Yes, I activated the peview and it looks ok, selected turbo 1 pass, not sure it's the ideal setting for quality, but at least I can check the rest works ok. Can't wait till its finished to pop it into the PS3. The "TV Room" toggle makes one feel at home too ;-)

deank
28th September 2009, 14:58
Yes, I decided it is a nice touch... not really a function or anything :) There is another tvroom_org.bmp in the \res\ folder which if renamed will change the current skin (which is designed by drpaulng) :)

You could've used "CUT/TRIM END" in title properties to 600 seconds for example just for testing 10 mins of your video, without wasting hours.

webvan
28th September 2009, 15:57
Ah yes, will do for future testing, still 20 minutes to go. Which transcoding setting do you recommend for this type of project ?

CONTINUED : so it's all done and looks ok, one small problem though, no subtitles I can select...they do appear in the title properties of the mkv I loaded though, I looked at the "Subtitles & Audio" tab but can't see anything obvious I missed. Any pointers ?

deank
28th September 2009, 16:10
1pass and 1pass turbo are good profiles... Insane is for speed and doesn't look bad at all..

About subtitles... how do you play the output? If you play a m2ts file alone you will never get them to work.

webvan
28th September 2009, 16:25
Yes picture certainly looks pretty good with "1 pass turbo".

As for the subtitles, I opened the AVCHD file with PowerDVD, and they don't appear. I looked at the structure and can't see them either. Do I need to convert them to srt maybe ?

deank
28th September 2009, 16:28
It would've been easier if you posted your log.

I don't know how subtitles were embedded in the mkv... if you had used the DVD directly - they should've appeared (provided you have JAVA installed for bdsup2sub to convert them from DVDSUP/VobSUB to Blu-ray SUP format).

webvan
28th September 2009, 16:56
ok, will check the log (on another computer).

Not sure about the embedding, vobsub I think, but the subs do appear in the "title properties" under the "subtitles" tab.

Can I convert them manually to SUP and mux them back in ?

deank
28th September 2009, 17:02
You can (with BDsup2sub) but it requires JAVA. If you had it installed, multiAVCHD should've converted the subtitles for you.

Hi Dean
Thanks for the help. I did what you said and it all worked first time, really pleased.
I have a few questions, I hope you don’t mind.
1 … I noticed that the log refers to the re encoding as Transco ding, is this the same technique as Shrink used for MPEG2 DVD.
2 … The log shows that sharpening set to 0. Where do you set this value.
3 … What max size figure would you say is correct to set for 25 Gig disc.
4 … How much difference is there between the Quality settings and if say 12 hours or below for completion is required what setting would you recommend.
5 … The split setting, I set this to just above the max size so as no split took place, is this ok.

AND FINALLY THANKS A MILLION FOR THIS S/W

Q & A:

1 … I noticed that the log refers to the re encoding as Transco ding, is this the same technique as Shrink used for MPEG2 DVD.

Transcoding in multiAVCHD means 'full re-encoding with x264 to AVC/H.264'

2 … The log shows that sharpening set to 0. Where do you set this value.

In title properties / transcode window.
http://multiavchd.deanbg.com/multiAVCHD_transcode2.jpg

3 … What max size figure would you say is correct to set for 25 Gig disc.

The one suggested by 'bitrate suggestions' in transcode window

4 … How much difference is there between the Quality settings and if say 12 hours or below for completion is required what setting would you recommend.

One minute (60 seconds) 1920x1080 @ 23.976 fps profle comparison:
http://MULTIAVCHD.deanbg.com/multiAVCHD_profiles.jpg

An average PC (like my 2.8ghz 2gb 2xcore laptop) would deal with 2hr movie in less than 12 hours if [1 PASS TURBO] or [2 PASS NORMAL] is used (talking about 1920x1080).
1280x720 conversions usually take about 1-3 hours.

5 … The split setting, I set this to just above the max size so as no split took place, is this ok.

Yes, or you can use '0' for no splitting, although if 'split value' is applied it won't affect playback in blu-ray/avchd mode.

It is related to your Directshow decoders/filters/splitters. If the movie is in MPEG-2 or VC-1 - there are a lot of posts in BD-RB's thread about that :)

The message you see means that it is not possible to decode a frame via directshow, which in 90% of the cases means that transcoding won't work.

Is multiAVCHD mainly for H264 source encoded material

It will only produce AVC/H.264 with x264.exe if you decide to transcode.

If you just pass the video without encoding - it doesn't matter what codec you use.

The idea with multiAVCHD was never to re-encode the source anyway.

Hi Dean

Yes I realise that the output will always be H264. But if transcoding is used, then am I right in saying that only Blu Ray original disc with H264 encoding can be reliably transcoded or have I got the wrong end of the stick. This is in no way any critisism.

I tried to transcode DVDs with MPEG-2 and Blu-ray discs with VC-1 and it always worked.

As I said earlier - it depends on your computer settings (directshow) if you have these set (properly) to decode the input stream (be it mpeg2 or vc1 or h264) and make it 'available' to avisynth+x264 to transcode it to whatever settings you applied. multiAVCHD doesn't care what your input video-codec is... it relies on a decoder to decode it and then on x264 to encode it :)

OK Dean, well I cut a 5 min part of Preditor 2 and tried it through multiAVCHD, and although it showed that warning re may not work, it did work so I take it the full film will work, is this just preview that will not work on my machine do you think.

Yes.. that's why I said "90%" :) and that's why the warning uses 'may not' choice of words :)

[16:32:43] Converting to SRT/PGS...
[16:32:43] M2TS stream split set at 3999MiB...

... it shows that nothing is done with these subtitles.

You may want to disable post / pre processing in subtitles&audio tab.
Thanks, will try.

Can I just redo the subtitles part in multiavchd and reuse the previous transcode I did ? Actually I can probably replace the video stream using mkvmerge and then feed it to multiavchd.

Well thanks Dean for all your help yet again. By the way, inerestingly Preditor 2 is H264 original so dont know why this should happen, Pred 1 os MPEG2 so strange.
Anyway thanks so much fella.

The easiest way is to find .SRT subtitles that match your video or try to convert VOBSUB to .SUP with BDsup2sub. You can use the compilation you created without reencoding and wasting time. Just load it and set everything in Title properties.

Well thanks Dean for all your help yet again.

Anytime :)

(you can restart multiAVCHD and try to load it again and see if it makes any difference)

Hi Dean

I dont know if I did something wrong but the re encoded Predator 2 is still too large, I set it to fit all and selected 25gig disc but the result is still over 25.6 gig. I can normally go to 22.3 or so and get away with it but this is too large.
Did I do somthing wrong, also had 2 pass HQ set (about 18 hours (only using a laptop))
By the way, the original file is 31.1 gig

If anyone is interested in testing a tool for resizing BD-SUP subtitle files, post back with feedback:

readSUP - standalone CLI (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=149851).

easySUP, readSUP and textST are included in the full download of multiAVCHD (along with uncropMKV).
