BDtoAVCHD v2.8.0 - One Click Blu-Ray 2D/3D to BD5/BD9/BD25/MKV

[pistacho]

Enable "Debug mode" in the "Options" menú. In this way the file eac3to_log.txt is not deleted when finish.

(I assume you already has this file because you said: "this time 5 or 6 files all end up in the TEMP Folder…")

Try to give more details or a screenshot otherwise I cannot help.

Thanks for a great program!
Some feature requests..
2-pass bitrate encode with mkv.. very hard to predict size of the encode with crf.
At least two audio and subtitle tracks.
Possible to use libav instead of libaften when encode audio to ac3. A recent libav produce higher quality ac3 file.

[Hobbe]

Thanks for a great program!

At least two audio and subtitle tracks.
2 pass bitrate setting for mkv output. It's very hard to predict the output size.
Autocrop or some visual metod for cropping... now you have to check the crop in a diffrent program..

[Betsy25]

Could be a great program but it's really missing external subtitles option.

Hello pistacho

Back after a while.
Opening BD folder
Video field : 4113 : 2:30:40 AVC 19808 Kbps .....
Info (in green) : It's necessary to recode at 19486 Kbps
Starting Scan Bitrates
Results : 4113 AVC 19010 kbps
Note that 19010 is less than 19486

The video field and the info remain unchanged after scanning : necessity to recode

I suspect it is not necessary to recode.
I mux with TsMuxer, make the ISO with IMGBurn and the ISO size is 600MB less than the BD 25 size. That confirms that it was not necessary to recode.

The issue is that the video field and the info remain unchanged after scanning.


Thanks for commenting this issue.

I upload a test version that addressed it here:
http://www.mediafire.com/?pwzf0v0f6s5crfa

(replace only .exe on Program Files folder)

Grateful if you can check if it solves the issue.

@subair37:


As you can see in the log, the root cause of problems is the subtitle track. VobSub format is NOT supported:

This subtitle conversion is not supported. <ERROR>

Only PGS and UTF-8 subs. are supported for MKV to AVCHD conversion.

If you repeat the conversion but selecting "Target subtitle = NONE" everything will be fine.

In the next release will include some code to check for exotic/unsupported codecs inside MKV’s... :)

I was having the "no audio" issue. Perhaps this is something I can try too. However, I have to say in terms of video quality, this did an outstanding job! Thanks for this!

[pistacho]

New version 1.6.1 :)


Improved: bitrate calculation when video source is CBR if "scan bitrates" is completed.
Fixed: when is selected HD audio (VBR) in MKV’s programs ask for "scan bitrates" when is only possible in Blu-Ray sources.
x264 updated to revision r2085.
Small fixes and general improvements.

Pistacho,

Seems to be all right, my mistake..:eek:

[vertigoo]

Thanks Pistacho !

Improved: bitrate calculation when video source is CBR if "scan bitrates" is completed.

It works fine

No more need to recode at the end of the scanning process.

You should warn newbees to terminate the scanning process. The bitrate fluctuates, sometimes higher than the threshold, sometimes lower, and finally lower

[rendez2k]

Great program. Quick question - whats the point of the IMDB look-up? What is that information used for?

[Wildfire]

Great program. Quick question - whats the point of the IMDB look-up? What is that information used for?

For the intro that you can put before the movie itself. It gets title, genre and duration from IMDB -- as you could have seen for yourself, when you use the IMDB function AVCHDCoder immidiately lets you see what it's used for :)

[rendez2k]

Arh, so it automatically generates an intro? Any shots of what it looks like? I could just try it I guess :-)

[Wildfire]

Just try it. The program will let you chose which cover-art to use and which background image to use (if any on-line sources are present, but I've yet to see a movie which had no cover-art or background images available).

Just noticed, for some reason you seem to be talking about AVCHDCoder?! I know how the intro video works there, but this is the thread for BDtoAVCHD. No options for cover artwork ect are displayed?

Crap. I have no idea why I was talking about AVCHDCoder while this thread is about BDtoAVCHD... sorry :P

[Busto]

I recently installed BDtoAVCNH and ever since I can't get MKV2VOB to work right. I keep getting error messages that TSMuxer has crashed. Is there anyway to get these programs to co-exist?

[soneca]

:) New version! Thanks a lot!

[proper88]

pistacho,
is it there a hidden option to use only one pass for encoding ?
because two-pass takes sooo long

//proper88

//proper88


No, because 2 pass is mandatory for obtain a target size (BD5 / BD9...)

[DIEGO7-5]

Hi pistacho!

My standalone Player only supports LowRes subtitles (576p) in MKV container. Can you add an option for that?

[Wildfire]

Hi pistacho!

My standalone Player only supports LowRes subtitles (576p) in MKV container. Can you add an option for that?

Aren't subtitles enclosed within a MKV just regular text subtitles and not graphical? In that case, there's no issue of resolution as it's just pure text.

[pistacho]

A new version is out!

Version 1.6.3 (11/27/2011)


Improved: Extraction of forced subtitles without using BDsup2sub (a new own code is used). This fixes the issue: "forced subtitles disappear too fast" on XMBC and BOXEE BOX players caused by BDsub2sub.
New: "Scan bitrates" function now also checks errors on video source (incomplete or corrupted file). If some error is detected, displays a warning message.
Improved: bitrate calculation when the audio has the following unusual formats: DTS 448 Kbps (2.0), AC3 224, 320, 512 y 576 Kbps.
Small fixes and general improvements.

[pistacho]

New version!

Version 1.6.5 (12/18/2011)


x264 updated to revision r2120.
Small fixes and general improvements.


Version 1.6.4 (12/06/2011)


Fixed: broken Blu-Ray 3D to AVCHD 3D SBS conversion due a bug in 'ffms2.dll' archive.

[Wildfire]

Nice to see you're keeping BDtoAVCHD updated :)

[soneca]

New version!


Thanks!:)

[soneca]

Pistacho,

Would improve the CPU usage on the first pass?
Even using slower settings the cpu does not reach 50%.

[pistacho]

New version :)

Version 1.7.0 (01/06/2012)


New: Now is possible to include hardcoded subtitles in 3D SBS conversions. It's designed for forced subtitles (cannot be disabled when playing) but maintaining the font, color and position and are compatible with any 3D playback system.
Improved: in the control "Media" on the main screen, options "BD Remux" and "MKV Remux" have been added to choose conversions without recode the video in a more intuitive way.
Mkvmerge updated to version 5.2.1




Would improve the CPU usage on the first pass?
Even using slower settings the cpu does not reach 50%.

This is normal and occurs (in part) because in the first pass CPU is not used very intensively. Anyway, this depends on the x264 encoder... also some x264 parts not scale very well with multiple cores or are not multi-threaded at all.
Surely we can improve but it depends on the x264 developers.

[soneca]

Thanks for the new version!:)

Could do some tests using these settings (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1237162#post1237162), it is clear that not everyone will benefit ...

[pistacho]

One more :)

Version 1.7.1 (01/28/2012)


New: Error handling. If fails one step in the conversion, process stops and passing to "FAILED" state and is marked in red on the list. If we resolve the cause (e.g.: lack of HDD space) is possible to resume the conversion without having to start from the beginning. Also is created an error log to help determine the cause of failures. This log can be opened from the context menu of the jobs list.
New: Haali Media Splitter filter is included in the installer (used in 3D SBS conversions).
x264 updated to revision r2146 (includes a significant improvement in speed).
Small fixes and general improvements.

[soneca]

I tried a conversion but after extracting the video tracks the program stopped.

Have you installed Avisynt and .NET Framework 4.0?

.NET Framework is required for 3D subtitles

[soneca]

Yes, avisynth 2.58 and net framework 4.0.30319.

[pistacho]

Try to install stand alone Haali Media Splitter:

http://haali.su/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe

[soneca]

Ever need the Haali Media Splitter, the latest version was already installed and running smoothly.

Edit: I will try another movie.

[soneca]

I do not know what is happening, but I converted the same disk using the previous version.

Is there a way to disable the installation of haali media splitter in this newest version?

[pistacho]

@soneca:

Can you confirm that with version 1.7.0 same 3D SBS conversions are OK and with 1.7.1 FAIL?
(Without touching anything else)

I can not reproduce the problem

@rd1979:

No, but if you already have it installed nothing happens and if not you cannot do 3D conversions. Why you want to disable?

[soneca]

I was wrong, the last time I did a conversion of these was using version 1.6.5 or 1.6.4.
Which version of Haali are you using?

[pistacho]

I was wrong, the last time I did a conversion of these was using version 1.6.5 or 1.6.4.
Which version of Haali are you using?

I tested with last (http://haali.su/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe) and with included in "Windows 7 Codecs" codepack (http://shark007.net/win7codecs.html).

I think the problem you have may be related to the subtitles. Try to 3D conversion without subtitles. If it goes well we investigate in this direction...

[soneca]

Ok, I'll try without subtitles.

[rd1979]

@rd1979:

No, but if you already have it installed nothing happens and if not you cannot do 3D conversions. Why you want to disable?


I already have it installed, (I use Shark's Codec Pack) didn't want any issues.

[soneca]

Pistacho,

Conversion without subtitles has been completed successfully.
