HD-DVD to Blu-Ray using bd-rb

[drmih]

I am just trying to make some backups of discs that have yet to be released on blu-ray. The route I have taken it to use tsmuxer to process all of the evo files into m2ts ones (primarily to combine the 'FEATURE' into one file). As there are often plenty of extras, and I like the menu system it creates, I have used multiavchd to produce a new disc structure (using the blu-ray player compatibility option). I have checked the structure out on the HDD and it works fine. However, when I then use bd-rb to re-encode it down to bd-9 all attempts so far have failed with the audio processing (an AFTEN error regarding pcm or big endian??).

I have used the above principle to take HDTV files and produce a standalone blu-ray disc with menus without any issues.

Hi, I haven't used BD-RB on re-encoding a RAW / PCM audio track as AC3 yet; I'm sure somewhere reading this has and confirm that it works; I assume that it does.

Perhaps as part of the BD-RB process it is not detecting if the audio is big endian or little endian, and assuming it's big endian as with most Blu-ray source material, when infact it is little endian, resulting in that error; Someone more knowledgable than me would know.

However, if you look at the main feature with Eac3to, what does it tell you the audio track is ?

If you use Eac3to to extract that audio, and convert to AC3 for example, it will tell you if it's big/little endian prior to extracting the audio to wav files (before it is reencoded as AC3).

Personally I have used Eac3to to demux my Hd-dvd's (and join the main feature EVOs) and convert the audio (I usually extract the video to an MKV via Eac3to instead of the raw stream which has fixed a number of audio synch issues) and it has worked fine. You can then remux with Tsmuxer into a M2TS to be then run through BD-RB (which I have also done and works fine).

Thanks - I had come around to the idea that I needed to go back and get tsmuxer to convert the audio at the same time as converting to m2ts.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I used Eac3to to convert the audio streams to ac3 (when I tried to do it directly with multiavchd it got confused and all of the audio streams ended up the same) and then used tsmuxer to produce new m2ts files. I built the blu-ray structure with multiavchd and it plays fine on the pc. When I tried to use bd-rb to resize it to bd-9 it gets stuck towards the end of the first file (the main movie) with x264 at 100% cpu. When you look in the working directory there is a temporary mkv of the main movie which is bigger than the original, never mind reduced to bd-9.

Having used the process to take hdtv mkvs and do this I realise that my problem must be how I am converting the hd-dvd material.

Eac3to delivers a tool with it called "clownbd"
it is made vor automatic hdvd to Bluray but just main movie(no menu etc)

clownbd looks fine but do you know why it doesn't show all of the files on the disc. I have started to extract tracks one by one but some don't come up in the listing.

i only used this for one single time :p

sorry i can't help with that for me it copied the main movie and all languages and subtitles i wanted

perhaps look somwhere in the settings?
