[question] is there a fast solution for adding borders AVCHD?

[asherungar]

Hi,

i have a PS3 and as you might know it will only play 1280x720 or 1920x1080.
right now the only way i know is to add borders in MeGUI and that takes a few good hours to re-encode the movie.

anyone know of a faster way to "just add borders" ?

Thanks!

I had this problem (although I needed to crop rather than increase in size) with a recent cap of Saving Private Ryan, is was being detected by TSMuxer as 1920x1084i. I used h264info which successfully cropped it to 1080 (without re-encoding) but it still played in the top quarter of the screen when played back on the PS3 as AVCHD.

the answer to the question is.. no.

This is more trying to fool the player than cropping...

Interesting find on page 94 of TS specifications (iso 13818-1) is the grid descriptor:

So it allows positioning the video in the lower part of the screen and (probably) making the green bar/artifacts unvisible...

Who knows... we'll see.

maybe using idbrich2 technique with this finding?
