Clown_BD BD Copier

[mrr19121970]

I created a small application to strip out unwanted streams to fit onto a BD-R SL.

Please take a look & let me know what you think.

You need to set the path to Mplayer.exe in the INI file to get previews.

Hi!

Looks quite interesting. A few of questions, if I may:

1) Is menu functionality retained?

2) Does the download include all required support programs (e.g. Mplayer and any others)?

3) Does it provide for reducing HD audiostreams to their core versions (DTS, AC3)?

4) (For the sake of clarity) Am I correct that it does require the BluRay to already be ripped?

[mrr19121970]

1. Yes, assuming you don't uncheck one of the boxes saying 'menu' at the top of the tree

2. The 250kb exe download is just the program. Most users will have their own favourite build of MPlayer. The 5500kb zip download contains the exe and a build of Mplayer. No other software is needed.

3. No, it's a 1:1 copy.

4. Assuming you can decrypt the Blu-Ray on the fly (ie AnyDVD installed or other decryptor), then you can process on the fly.

[mrr19121970]

New version. Tested on Win XP x32 and Win7 x64. Anyone tried on Vista ?

v0.08 (2010-05-15)
. Improved MPlayer Integration.
. Enlarged Preview Window.
. Enhanced Performance.
. Use VOLUME LABLE To Create Temp Directory & .IBB File.
. New Build To Cater For MPlayer x32.
. This Version Tested on Win7 x64 & XP x32 Bits.
. Automatically Select 1st Loaded Optical Disk On Startup

Special Note
------------

Delete you old .INI file 1st use.

If you experience problems with MPlayer (like no picture). Try removing
this text from the .INI file:

-vo gl:yuv=2:rectangle=2:force-pbo:ati-hack -dr -noslices

Forgive my curiosity, but I just have to ask--what is the reason for the name "Clown_BD"? Particularly the "clown" part...

[borivoje]

Thanks for this interesting application ...

I've tried to strip several unwanted streams (trailers) from 27GB movie and I'm getting too large size of the output file (just a bit over 50GB). Also, some extras that I want to keep were unchecked by default when I opened the movie???

Few suggestions - It could be nice if you could enable output to a folder on HDD, not just ImgBurn option. Also, the window with the option to uncheck only .m2ts files could be less confusing for someone who is not too familiar with the BD structure (like me for example), as now one has to open every file to see which .m2ts file is under particular .mpls.

CHEERS

[mrr19121970]

@um3k
it was a play on CloneDVD and meant as a joke.

@borivoje
Using Windows explorer for massive files is not really an option. Initally I wanted to build an interface to FastCopy to copy to the hard drive. It didn't work somehow. I'll look into this again.

To your 50gb output from a 27gb file, I'm not really sure what this is, but please download the latest version (v0.10) which I've not announced yet as I wanted to make a few more cosmetic changes (like resizing preview window).

I can possibly add a button to expand/contract the whole tree structure. The idea of building the tree in a non-BDMV way makes no sense.

[setarip_old]

To your 50gb output from a 27gb file, I'm not really sure what this isSounds like a multi-angle disc (e.g. many Disney BluRays)...

Hi mrr!
I wanted to ask about the srttoxml application.
I tried to import the xml to scenarist but it pops an error "Failed to read Palette"
while other XML files can be imported fine.

I also compared the CLOUN xml and the xml i had working and i couldnt find any differences.

Do you have any ideas?

BTW, great job with the utilities!

I guess a premium product like Sonic has great help. I've no idea what's wrong, perhaps a mail to them with the XML might indicate what's wrong?

I guess a premium product like Sonic has great help. I've no idea what's wrong, perhaps a mail to them with the XML might indicate what's wrong?

Probably not, Sonic wouldn't offer much help with files that aren't created with their software...

The Palettes are stored in the PNG files themselves, not the XML. It probably has to do with the way the PNGs are saved. They have to be saved in indexed color, 8-bit mode (with a 256 color palette). If they are 16 or 32-bit PNGs, Scenarist won't be able to import them. (Drop one in Photoshop and see if you can open the Color Table... That'll tell you right away.)

Also, the very first color in the palette needs to be the 100% transparent 'color'. The color used for the background of the image that you want to be able to see the video through. Scenarist will make this first palette entry the transparent color, so if that's really a color somewhere in your text, it will have transparent spots...

If you convert them to indexed 8-bit, they should at least import. The first-color thing might be a problem (Scenarist will give you a warning if that condition is not true, but it will still try to use them).

[crl2007]

You can extract the correct xml palettes with BDEdit or with DVDLogic BD Demuxer ( for what you want I think DVDLogic BD Demuxer should do the trick ). I described here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152952) how to save them for reuse with scenarist or with bdedit. The problem comes when you have a transparent image, you have to jump through a few hoops to preserve that transparency.

Also v0.7 MPLS Builder (http://clownbd.com/Clown_BD%20MPLS%20Builder.exe). Now too caters for Multi Angle playlists & does not delete subpath STN entries (after using tsMuxer, as it can't handle IGS & secondary Audio, PGS).

[crl2007]

Every time I try to use mpls builder it says that it can't write the mpls I edit. Anyway, in cases of edited movies, you just have to edit the IN_OUT times, not recreate the whole playlist. I understand the need to recreate in a standalone application, but mpls builder as a standalone application itself is pretty much useless. And I noticed that in case of HDD copy the program spits out all this errors that the output folder does not exist. How can it not exists if I directed it to my desktop ?

Also the space required is miscalculated. For a 44 GB disc it reports only 17 GB and after unticking the boxes you don't want I have only 2,5 GB. Something goes awful wrong here. Win 7 x64.

Hi,

just downloaded the newest version Clown_BD BD Copier 0.25 and used it on a CASINO ROYALE blu-ray rip done via AnyDVD-HD to the HD...

My goal is to strip unwanted content (audio tracks, extras etc.) from Blu-Ray structure but keep video, audio & menus uncompressed...

crl2007 referred me to this app...

Did 2 runs with this app:

(1.)

by default I was not able to select any sub streams out of the main movie m2ts file... just select the main playlist file, but no sub selection possible...

exported to iso file via ImgBurn, but all languages were still in the main m2ts file...

--> extras were replaced with 6KB files

(2.)

when I checked "use tsmuxer" I was able to make a sub selection of the main movie m2ts file but then the app hangs at 71.1 % in the DOS prompt....

--> Win 7 Ultimate, x64

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong ?

What does the "Use tsmuxeR" option do ? I thought streams get simply replaced...

Thanx.

- M

[crl2007]

Streams get replaced, but inside the m2ts they are replaced with tsmuxer.

[Iron Mike]

crl2007,

sorry, little bit confused...

They are replaced inside the m2ts by tsmuxer by default ?

Why is there the option "Use tsmuxeR" if it is used anyway ?

Why can I not select / de-select streams when this option un-checked ?

Thanx for your help !

- M

[crl2007]

For that problem you should wait for an answer from the author. And yes, the streams are always replaced/added/deleted with tsmuxer inside a m2ts.

This is the correct behaviour. Unwanted mpls will be replaced with dummys and the corresponding clip and m2ts files.

Which playlist? Can tsMuxeRGUI handle this on it's own? If it's a bug then it's with tsMuxeR.

the tsMuxeR option will allow you to remux all streams you want to remove audio, subtitles & picture in picture options that you don't want.

There's not enough information here for me to recreate or do anything with, I'll assume it's just a rant.

[crl2007]

It isn't a rant. If I wanted to rant about some piece of software, then I would not recommend it to someone else, no ?

1. The program shows an erroneous size.

http://thumbnails5.imagebam.com/8730/2f1ae087297778.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/2f1ae087297778) It should have been 48.114.140.966 bytes.

2. This is what I end up with:

http://thumbnails12.imagebam.com/8730/085dd087297781.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/085dd087297781) I kept only the menu and the main movie. It should have had almost 35 GB. For some reason, the main m2ts was not copied. It has something to do with a MPLS Builder error ( something as "--> It has to be a directory" ). Maybe you should consider rethinking mpls builder to be more permissive and not so much as IFOUpdate method of working. I mean without having to write all those paths. Maybe a GUI.

You did a great job here, I've used Clown BD and still do, I used this app and I plan to still do, so I'm not ranting, I'm just pointing out some errors that I encountered on win 7 x64.

[mrr19121970]

When you feel the size is wrong, start again. This is behaviour that I've noticed too from time to time but unable to recreate consistantly. I'm in the process of re-writing the GUI, so you'll just have to bear with it for the time being.

in your 35gb example that only produced 186mb this should be fixed now. Basically if the 'path to BDMV' actually contains the BDMV in the name you get \BDMV\BDMV\ in the ImgBurn IBB file. Somehow ImgBurn only objects when the file exists twice in the IBB, but not at all.

[mrr19121970]

OK, as promised.

v0.26 (2010-07-12)
. Rewrite of key functions resolving many smaller bugs (eg size calculation)

I didn't get around to adding many of the enhancements I wanted. Summer is here, so that comes 1st :)

[crl2007]

You should definitely think to put all the tools needed in the same folder for downloading and instruct the soft to use them. Sometimes the preview does not work if I modify the ini file.

[mrr19121970]

You need to go to the webpage to get the 'whole package', but here's the direct link http://clownbd.com/Clown_BD%20BD%20Copier.zip This was always available.

[crl2007]

Sorry, didn't know. I always use the link in the first post to download it.

v0.36 (2010-08-15)
. Added New Checkbox 'Core' To Extract SD Core From HD Audio Only
(ie TrueHD->AC3 & DTS-MA->DTS)
Not really recommended, but better than manually changing .meta file.

Puzzled by

I am puzzled as to why you are interested in this, when you already have build the "BD with Menus" program? Why aren't you enhancing that yourself? I tried it a couple times and it seems whenever vids preceding the menu are blanked, the result doesn't play.

I was wondering if anyone else has problems?

[thegdog]

Does this program work with Blu-ray 3D discs?

I've got an ISO of Grand Canyon Adventure - River at Risk which shows as 24.0GB in Windows. When I try to use ImgBurn to burn it to a BD-R SL, ImgBurn says it is slightly too big.

So I figured I would try this program and remove some of the opening studio logo movies that appear.

But when I open the app and have it read the disc, without me unchecking anything, it shows that it is only at about 19.2GB (76.81%). So I am thinking that it is not handling the 3D streams correctly.

Also, is there a way to have it just write an ISO file instead of burning it directly to disc? That way I could test it out before burning.

Thanks!

[mrr19121970]

Does this program work with Blu-ray 3D discs?

No, 3D are not handled correctly.


Also, is there a way to have it just write an ISO file instead of burning it directly to disc? That way I could test it out before burning.

This is an option you need to set in ImgBurn. Something like 'Build' rather than 'Write' in the menu bar.

[thegdog]

No, 3D are not handled correctly.

Thanks for the reply. Is this something that will be added eventually?

Do you know if there is a guide on a different way to do this? To just blank out (replace with a 1 sec clip of black) certain titles in a Blu-ray?

[mrr19121970]

As far as I know it's not possible. If & when Lightning_UK offers 3D support in ImgBurn, then things might progress.

[thegdog]

As far as I know it's not possible. If & when Lightning_UK offers 3D support in ImgBurn, then things might progress.

Sorry, but what does ImgBurn have to do with it? Seems like the videos were being misread by Clown_BD Copier before it ever went to ImgBurn.

I haven't had a problem with burning Blu-ray 3D ISOs with ImgBurn, or building ISOs with ImgBurn from ripped Blu-ray 3D discs.

3D disks have interleaving of files that needs to be supported by the software that creates the ISO.

[laserfan]

@laserfan can you please take a look?I deleted the test setup that inspired my original comment, but I will look for another one and give 0.38 a try, yes. Whadja fix anyway? I do recall at one point that I'd actually copied an entire disc structure to hdd, and then pasted-in your dummy m2ts/mpls/clpi and that seemed to work, so I was puzzled why the BD I'd made with your tool didn't work, since it seemed to me it was doing exactly the same thing? :confused:

[mrr19121970]

clearly some players (Arcsoft TMT5 included) strongly object to MPLS instead of mpls. The PS3 and PowerDVD are obviously more forgiving.

[crl2007]

This is available for all extensions, ac3, sub, srt, h264 etc. As long as you avoid caps in extensions, all should be fine. As for 3D support, you can take the Panasonic Demo Disc and work with it. It's free.

[mrr19121970]

@miker could you please remove my handle from your changelog? Note also my comment was not regarding a standalone player...

Done.

[laserfan]

Done.
Thanks for that. I still have not had occasion to try the new version but will report-back when I'm able.

Hi Mrr, I have some questions and issues...

First, thanks for this nice software. Here is what I want to do. Keep the original menu and main movie only, with 2 audio tracks, I'm a french canadian but I like to have the original english track and the french track.

I will burn the result to a BD-25, if it's too big I use BD Rebuilder.

The issue I have is that if I use the TSMUXER option, to extract the data to my hard drive, it takes around 10 seconds then the window close automatically. It might be something with the batch file?

What is weird, if I use IMGBURN and output it to an ISO, the ISO is fine, I burn it and get exactly what I want.

Using the exact same option checked using TSMUXER, it does work.

Since I need to pass it through BD Rebuilder when it's more than 25GB, I need the BDMV folder, an ISO doesn't work.

If you can help me that would be appreciated.
thanks.

[mrr19121970]

Please make sure you have the full path to tsMuxeR in your INI. It defaults to tsMuxeR\tsMuxeR.exe. I've corrected this now to %exelocation%\tsMuxeR\tsMuxeR.exe as a default for new users.

Perhaps put a PAUSE in the .BAT file after the tsMuxeR step. Does it give an error message?

As you can see, it only selects to copy 0004.m2ts and 0005.m2ts.

I know that the main movie is 0001.m2ts, why it's not there in the batch file?

i have higher dpi settings for my windows, and this causes issues with viewing some text on the gui --
trust me this isn't the only software that does this, some are rendered useless from buttons clipped off and issues like that. resizing gui window in any direction does not affect the words cropped at top and bottom, and of course it stays same if a BD is loaded

Will TSmuxer ever going to be able to handle secondary video? Sucks that we still have to include all the audios (which most of the time take a lot of space) that come with the movie mainly to keep the PIP feature working :(

Other than that, nice app mrr19121970!

I'm aware of this. I'm probably not going to change it just yet. Worse is the fact that the preview window is now too high too. I might just do a dirty and shorten the text ;)

I doubt Roman will ever fix the issues in tsMuxeR, nor release the source. There are other multiplexers on the market (BDFix and TSRemux), but I suspect tsMuxeR still does the best job.

Thinking out loud...

Actually it might be possible using tsMuxeR to create a new .m2ts with the PIP only, and then do some 'jiggery pokery' with BDEdit making the PIP .m2ts a substream of the main film. CRL2007 seems to be a BDEdit 'advanced user', perhaps he has some input here?

[crl2007]

The number one enemy for PIP is the sound. In most of the cases it uses DTS Express, a sound format that can't be decoded.

http://thumbnails7.imagebam.com/10979/2613e6109785447.jpg (http://www.imagebam.com/image/2613e6109785447) In theory it's possible, but that DTS Express puts a halt on the whole thing. You can edit the SubPath to suit your needs if you can make that m2ts complete with sound.

[C2D]

I don't follow you crl2007, mainly in two things but about the audio, you can encode it to ac3 with eac3to, also extract the pip video and mux them together in one mkv which you can then turn into one m2ts file that will work perfectly. What is the problem with this solution?

Another question, is there anyway to rip on the fly, without having to rip on the hard drive before?

I have tried with ANYDVD but Clown_BD is not able to read the data out of the disc.

I assume you're using Windows XP? You need a UDF2.5 driver installed and then you can process on the fly.

I'm not sure you understand what needs to be done. tsMuxeR mode 1st only on the main movie. After this bring the entire contents as saved on your hard drive back into Clown_BD BD Copier.

The problem is when audio is DTS Express, not when it's simple DTS.

I explained how to do it, you can test it and report your results.

[C2D]

In this case the audio is DTS Express, and with eac3to + Arcsoft DTS Decoder the audio is far to be a problem.

My BDedit skills are quite bad atm :p

Guess if you tell me this actually worked I can go check your tuts and try learning it!

[crl2007]

Why can't you just test it ? You add that field, edit the IN/OUT times and that's it. You look for some settings on the original blu-ray and modify IM Sync with OoM Async and that's it. I don't have a BD with pip at the moment and I always considered pip as being useless.

[tapidlittle]

sorry I don't understand what you're saying.

If I want to keep the main movie and the menu, how do I proceed if I want it on my hard drive??

From what I understand, I need to check the TSMUXER option and then select what I want to keep, my choice was the main menu and the longer parts that matches both episodes.

Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.

thank you for your support, I really appreciate it.

[mrr19121970]

I've lost track of what your problem is. You said nothing happened when you executed the BAT file. I can't see anything wrong with it.

[tapidlittle]

I'm not saying nothing happen, I'm saying that it copies files for 10 seconds then the window (black DOS window) close.

If I look at the results, I only get the menu video, I don't get the video related to the main movie.

[djmasturbeat]

mrr, or anyone else-
I have a 6 episode series BD50 i am trying to backup to 2 BD25s, otherwise untouched -- 3 of the m2ts video files (with video and all audio and subs) plus the menu on each BD25 disc. Size -wise everything fits perfectly, but the problem is this is a strange instance (for me) where all 6 episodes each have their own m2ts, but there is only 1 mpls handles all of the episodes -- everything is handled by chapter points in the mpls.
It auto plays the episodes in order, but there is a menu (again, this will fit on both BD25s with 3 episodes each)

is there a way to edit an mpls.. essentially split it?

i tried doing this with Copier, using the standard ImgBurn> ISO output, but this wouldn't let me select or deselect the 6 episodes in any way whatsoever.

when using tsmuxer output, i could select the audio/video/subs under each main m2ts (episode), so i did a set with the elements of 1st three m2ts, then 2nd three m2ts files.
the first disc plays fine, no problems.
the second disc has all of the elements -- but plays w/o sound. to make it worse, if i load any m2ts file from the 2nd disc into a software player, it will play with audio, even though it doesn't play audio from same files when loaded as a BD.

or alternately, is there a way to install dummy (very tiny) m2ts files for the missing ones or remap to other episodes (like remapping missing audio in a DVD)?
would i pull out the unwanted full m2ts (episode) files out of the folders and save them for the 2nd disc, and load the altered BD into BD Copier with these said dummy files (renamed to replace the ones that were removed), output the new structure to ImgBurn > ISO, then switch the process removing the m2ts from first disc, replacing them with dummy sectors and re-inserting the m2ts files i removed for 1st disc, renaming the dummy files to cover the newly removed files?

:thanks:


or maybe someone knows -- is there a good way to hack this mpls file in 2 at a chapter point ? (edit it to 2 mpls, each which calls only for 3 episodes?) If anyone knows how to use BDEdit or w/e to do this, could i get a bit of a quick guide how, since that program leaves me stumped.

Now you can also use BDFix (http://www.defsoft.com/bdfix.html) to complete this easily. You need build 2 times. First, cut the last 3 episodes into small segment like 5 seconds, then build and you will get the first disc contents. Second, do the same thing for the first 3 episodes. That's it. You needn't do anything else. Good luck!

[al4x]

this program is fantastic, if this works consistently i may donate, [if its an option] its slashed my time to do what i want by about 80%and also saved me several write cycles of 40GBs to disk

[jediknight]

but i think wont working ?

Here is my idea ;

I have Constantine Blu-Ray which is 27 GB. So i wanna remove audio tracks and keep other things originally. but i cant do that. Cant remove tracks...

Who can help me ? Or this program cant remove audio tracks ? Can someone show me with screenshoots please. its so important :)

And another thing, what is the purpose of tick ? for adding or removing ? i dont understand sorry...

Thanks,

[jediknight]

and one more question;

this program can keep truehd and dts-hd ma track as originally ? because i select tsmuxer and select truehd audio and then press hdd copy. and then i opened the coppy but audio was dolby digital, not true hd.

thanks

[crl2007]

skycore Why do you keep advertising that software here ? Have you no respect ? This is an application topic. Feel free to open one for your own application and offer support there.

[idbirch2]

Only just found this little app, very cool. I'm trying to remove some of the crap from a BDMV structure, not to reduce size just to remove annoying ads/warnings etc but I also would like to remove unecessary audio and sub streams.

I've enabled TSMuxer mode, deselected all the warning playlists leaving just the main movie playlist and the main menu one. I then expand the main movie and can see that although the playlist is checked, the .m2ts within and all of it's streams are deselected - this confused me as surely they should be ticked to indicate that by ticking the master playlist, they will be included in my output?

Checkbox behaviour confusion aside, I tried to tick the .m2ts - it just automatically unticks itself again. Hm. OK, so I try ticking just the streams I want to keep within the m2ts, that seems to be acceptable however now the main playlist has become unticked!

Before I pursue this any further am I trying to do something which the app isn't intended for? If so, I will shut up and move along but if this is not intended behaviour, I'll happily supply sample files, screenshots etc in order to work out what's going on.

[mrr19121970]

OK, so I try ticking just the streams I want to keep within the m2ts, that seems to be acceptable however now the main playlist has become unticked!

This is the intended behaviour.

[DMagic1]

Does anyone know a way to get it to select all subs automatically using tsMuxer mode, even if there are multiple ones of the same language? Either every english sub or just all subs would be what I need.

[mrr19121970]

From memory...

Press auto select again, again, again.

[magnu]

How do I change the output path in tsmuxer setting? When I try to change settings from E: drive to C: drive, the software still tries to find the path in E: drive?
