Good tool for authoring AVCHD from DVB-T HD TS stream

[galinette69]

Hi all,

My HD DVB-T recorder generates TS streams of AVC video and AC3 sound. As most movies are smaller than DVD9, I wonder if there is a simple way to author AVCHD from this kind of stream (I dont need any menu). I would guess that no recode is needed, and maybe even no remux, but maybe it is necessary to eventually correct errors in the stream.

This would make very decent quality movie discs, for free and legally, and in that case I would invest for a nice Panasonic BD player!

In fact, I want to do the same that I was doing with projectX & TMPG DVD Author, with SD DVB recordings.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

Hi!

I believe you should be able to just load the video and then audio file into "tsMuxeR" and select "AVCHD" as output format... (Remember to select a "Language tab" for the audiostream)

You must be French, for DVB-T in HD ;)
If you don't mind subtitles get the Panasonic. The Panasonic can read AVCHD discs, but the standard does not allow subtitles, nor VC-1, nor multi-audio. And reports are that their red laser (that used for DVD) is prone to failure (at least in US, where the Pannies are Chinese ;), not Slovaks as in EU).

If you intend to have subtitles and or multi-audio I suggest you to test the BD player before buying one. These threads might help you: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=147045, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146134, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146339, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144674, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145739. For instance ARTE has 4 subtitle teletext pages (2 DE, 2 FR) and 2 audio streams (DE + FR). My DVDs (from SD documentaries) contain both languages, audio and subtitles.

TSmuxer can do this for you, but I'm not sure if it can correct the errors in the input stream. The only one that can answer this question is its creator, Roman76. Reports are also on the net that some HD providers use non standard resolutions (I've heard that Sky uses 1088 instead of 1080), so be ready to check this before you buy the BD player (create a BD5 and test some players in shops).

BTW, Panasonic just launched in France a BD-recorder with DVB-T HD. It's a little pricey but hey so were the DVD recorders 10 years ago ;)

Soon I'll have my DVB-S2 PVR, so I'll be able to tell you more about.

I'm the author of multiAVCHD, not tsMuxeR. Roman76 is the creator of tsMuxeR.

I added some experimental support for DVR (TRP) recordings in multiAVCHD.

I'm so embarassed, I thought that Dean was the author since he answered most questions in several threads. My apologies to Roman76. I'll correct the post accordingly.

The standard is in fact 1920x1088, this is for encoding reasons, the transmission is then normally cropped to 1080

[drpaulng]

Broadcasting signals of 1088 is Non-compliant for bluray, but it seems these file can be accepted after authoring with multiAVCHD.

read down the lines, you'll find this
* Considering these formats it should be mentionend that in reality 1088 lines are encoded in order to be sufficient for the MPEG-2 standard. The encoded vertical height must be divisible by 16 (progressive scan mode) or 32 (interlaced scan mode). The lowest 8 lines are black due to the MPEG standards.

and this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2

Note: The 1080-line formats are encoded with 1920 × 1088 pixel luma matrices and 960 × 540 chroma matrices、but the last 8 lines are discarded by the MPEG-2 decoding and display process.
