Will LAV filter not interfere with Haali splitter? I think several tools on my pc use Haali.
Here are the requested files:

with MPC-HC you can use LAV Filter as internal filters. no seperate installation required.
Haali Splitter works with ordered chapters too.
but I do not know if VLC can load external filters.

Ok got it. Had to figure out how to go to another version, but it works. Strange though one must go through "Filters". Changing versions via "Navigate" would seem more logical.
During playback in MPC-HC also hickups at the same scene/time-points, but the artifact is different now. Seems as if a couple of tenths of a second is skipped. Again, the hickup doesn't occur in the 1977 theatrical version.
FYI also MPC-HC reports the 1981 special edition's duration as 02:02:49.

the navigation in a mkv-file is diffrent to the dvd-navigation.
you can set in LAV filters the TrayIcon for the filter. with a right click on it, you can navigate through all streams, chapters and editions.

I found one small bug, but i think it will not the solution for the whole problem.
mostly the last chapter is too short to use, but in this case not. all 3 editions have 20 chapters but the last chapter is ignored by default.
so i have implement a "check" for the last chapter duration.
if the chapter duration less then 2 seconds then will the chapter ignored.
I have made a new "test version" of chapterEditor where you can create eac3to log files.
this log-files could i use to test the Bluray (without having the Bluray).
you will find in the output folder a "title.txt" and a "tracks.txt".
can you upload this two files please?
The first edition in the chapters.xml looks good, all chapter times are strung together.
Thank you for testing it helps me a lot!

Thank you for testing
You're welcome.
I guess I made a thinking error. Because the same scene, where the hickup occurs, is used in all 3 versions I assumed that they would be the same source. However, in BDInfo, I took a closer look at the order of which .m2ts files are played for each playlist.
In the 2 "faulty" versions, the hickup occurs in the last moments of 00015.m2ts, before going on to 00016.m2ts.
In the 1977 version there is no hickup. Only the same footage is in another m2ts file; 00014.m2ts. At the end, - as said - no hickup and according to the playlist it continues also with 00016.m2ts.
Now, I imported and ran both 2 "hickup" versions directly (as playlist and separately) in mmg earlier. There were no problems with the mkv's playback. I hope this may help you further.
I did 2 tests with your newer version. One with DTS-MA and one with TrueHD (I still think there's something jiffy because of the mentioned HdBr SE log about audio overlaps).
Playback in MPC-HC shows exactly the same hickup in the same versions. Also the 1981 special edition's duration still shows 02:02:49.
Here's your requested files for both DTS-MA and TrueHD in their respective folders.
hubblec4
3rd April 2014, 00:03
rev0.15 is ready.
the duration of all editions should be correct now. it was a small issue, the last m2ts file was sometimes ignored.
LAV filter shows the duration only a second difference to MPC-HC. will certainly be just a rounding error. the 1977 edition plays 2:14:44.681
the muxing process of mmg is sure correct.
tests with the BD T2 were successfully. eac3to also find audio overlaps but the video and sounds plays fine in ever edition.
perhaps mmg muxing incorrect in your case. There is a new button "BD demux". all tracks will be demuxed and then you can add this tracks manually to mmg and load the tags and chapters XML.
or your MPC-HC settings are not the best. i use madVR as video renderer. its only for 32bit MPC-HC. mabye it helps you.
von Suppé
3rd April 2014, 10:13
Thanks, I'll go check out new version.
perhaps mmg muxing incorrect in your case.
...I ran both 1981 and 1998 versions directly through mmg (direct import of mpls file from BD) to see what happened. Both mkv's with TrueHD or DTS-MA play without problem, so I doubt if the "video hickup" is due to a faulty mmg/mkvmerge itself.
As importing just one "hickup" version results in a mkv without the hickup, mmg would only mux multi-version incorrectly then in this case.
Mmmh, don't know what to think here. Have to try some things out.
:thanks: for all your work.
hubblec4
3rd April 2014, 10:43
i cant rebuild the BD without the m2ts files. the mpls and the eac3to logs is not enough :-)
i used this files and found the issues. but a whole muxing of the BD is not possible.
with the BD demux button you get the right streams. eac3to will apply audio overlaps correction.
or you try to convert a audio track to FLAC. i always convert DTS-MA and TrueHD to FLAC.

the eac3to logs, MPLS's, tracks.xml and chapters.xml helps me only for creating a mmg without having the bluray (m2ts-files).
Only with the whole BD i could make a mkv. So i can't test it completely.
Edit: would it help you to provide you with HdBR SE log maybe?
mmh i think i dont need this log. but you can it upload if you like.
have you a link to this Bluray? i use from Amazon the online video library "Lovefilm". maybe the move is listed there.
or you upload the whole BD...
have you tested the BD demux button?
add all versions you want to have, press "OK" and "BD demux" then will eac3to demux all m2ts files in the right order.
(and mmg to create the both xml-files)
open a new mmg, insert the demuxed tracks and the tags.xml and chapters.xml and mux it.

Quick testing results of version 0.15 with DTS-MA sound.
Direct remuxing by importing the mmg- + xml-files gives the same hickups again.
Your suggested way with the BD Demux button seems to do the job. In MPC-HC no more hickup, the durations are ok. As I do a lot of subtitle editing, it would seem convenient to be able to have the elementary streams of multi editions. Haven't looked into it deeper and will do some playing around with it later though.
A few questions: the demuxed DTS-MA track has .dtsma extension. I thought eac3to demuxed these streams default as .dtshd. It's not a big deal, but the stream doesn't show up initially when browsing in mmg's import window. One has to choose "All files" and then it pops up. Is it much work to make chapterEditor change this elementary stream extension to .dtshd?
Maybe not for me, but would it be possible to implement the different Dolby TrueHD possibilities for mkv? I can imagine people wanting to make a choice between the TrueHD track only, the AC3 track only, or AC3 track + TrueHD track, as mkv can't have both of them in 1 audiotrack. I think it would imply that both streams have to be demuxed then.
I will test with TrueHD, both TrueHD & DTS-MA and edited sup files also, when there's time.
FYI I haven't watched the mkv's all 3 versions in it's full glory yet. But things seem to be fine.
For now, thanks for the works :)

thank you for the links.

sure very long^^, and its illegal i think.
Direct remuxing by importing the mmg- + xml-files gives the same hickups again.
then we found a bug in mmg :-) mmh not sure, but i will ask Mosu why it works for the single version but not for the appended m2ts files. (T2, with stream appending works very well)
A few questions: the demuxed DTS-MA track has .dtsma extension. I thought eac3to demuxed these streams default as .dtshd. It's not a big deal, but the stream doesn't show up initially when browsing in mmg's import window. One has to choose "All files" and then it pops up. Is it much work to make chapterEditor change this elementary stream extension to .dtshd?
the demux process of eac3to is set with the " *.* " for file generating (normaly: the switch -demux), all extension will be set automaticly by eac3to.
so is the normal extension for DTS-HD MA -> .dtsma
for DTS HiRes -> dtshr and normal .dts extension.
I do not know if it would make sense to change the extension.
the .dtsma file can be loaded with drag and drop into mmg.
maybe Mosu will update this for the import window.
Maybe not for me, but would it be possible to implement the different Dolby TrueHD possibilities for mkv? I can imagine people wanting to make a choice between the TrueHD track only, the AC3 track only, or AC3 track + TrueHD track, as mkv can't have both of them in 1 audiotrack. I think it would imply that both streams have to be demuxed then.
i dont know exactly what you mean.
the TrueHD audio track from your BD consist of a TrueHD part and an embedded AC3 part.
eac3to demux them to one file with a special extension.
and mmg cant handle this file?
Your suggested way with the BD Demux button seems to do the job. In MPC-HC no more hickup, the durations are ok.
nice to know. so maybe i can implement an automaticly generated mmg for the demuxed tracks.

No, it handles TrueHD audio perfectly. I'll try to clarify.
In case of TrueHD audio, it would be convenient to be able to choose between these 3 options in cE's GUI:
a) 1 audiotrack: embedded AC3 only
b) 1 audiotrack: TrueHD only
c) 2 audiotracks: one with embedded AC3 and one with TrueHD
I came across something while testing further. I created a 5 minutes test BD.
Importing this in ChapterEditor gives this message windows from eac3to: HD DVD / Blu-Ray disc structure not found.
I couldn't find a clarifying answer in my search in eac3to and HdBr SE forums.
Any idea what could be wrong? The test-BD plays fine on my pc. Burned it on a BD-RE and plays ok in my standalone.
hubblec4
7th April 2014, 17:44
if this BD not too much can you upload it?
HdBr can't open this BD too?
the TruHD audio is fix on the BD in TrueHD+AC3 and in cE's GUI should it be possible to separte this?(3 cases)
or it is the same when you demux the TrueHD+AC3 audio track into one of the avalible formats (AC3 or TrueHD or TrueHD+AC3)?
im not sure if eac3to eable to demux the AC3 -Core like the DTS-Core of DTS-HD.
you could test it with the switch -Core. (eac3to option)
von Suppé

HdBr can't open this BD too?
Strange, found something out. When a BD folder structure is too small, HdBR SE will not retrieve files. Streams-window stays blank. Importing the m2ts as "file" does work though. Don't know what to think of this: is it eac3to or the front-end?
Anyhow, it's also what makes cE giving the eac3to error. Flipping point is approx 15-16 minutes. So my 5 min. test BD won't work.

load everything and for the first test use eac3to audio convert for the DTS-HD or TrueHD track. (add to mmg) and mux it with the converted audio(FLAC or mp4 or AC3).
if there are hiccup during the playing we will know the problem could be the video.

Tested with DTS-MA to dts core and TrueHD to AC3.
FYI mmg returned this:
Error: The file 'E:\TEST\chapterEditor 0.15\cetk_TrueHD_to_AC3_mmg\2 - TrueHD/AC3, 5.1 channels, English.ac3' could not be opened for reading: open file error.
After conversion, eac3to (or your GUI) wrote the file away with this name:
2 - TrueHDAC3, 5.1 channels, English.ac3
See the difference in the error? It seems to me the name is auto-copied from the text in the 'Format' column. I think the slash-sign / better be avoided and replaced with underscore or something. Can you do that?
Anyways, I added the track manually.
Both mkv's show hiccups. Also major a/v sync issues. In the beginning of all 3 version av sync is ok. Exact point I dont know, but at half of all 3 versions video runs after audio for I think half a second or so. I didn't have this with the HD audio versions.
Still seems MPC-HC has some serious SUP problems, at least within mkv. VLC plays them fine. How is the order of different streams anyway? First the file has to go through a demuxer/splitter, I guess. Then audio and video go to their respective decoders? But what about subs? Are they handled in an own different way or something? I can't understand why MPC-HC does show most of the subtitles, but some of them not.
What does seem is that the subs that are displayed stay in sync with video though (not with audio).

ok. now we know the video produced the hiccups. I think the gaps are not processed correctly. i try to figure out how works the "time-code-file". In the DVDMenuXtractor program such files are generated and processed in mmg. Maybe this will be the solution.
Still seems MPC-HC has some serious SUP problems, at least within mkv. VLC plays them fine. How is the order of different streams anyway? First the file has to go through a demuxer/splitter, I guess. Then audio and video go to their respective decoders?

What does seem is that the subs that are displayed stay in sync with video though (not with audio).
mmh im not sure, but the subs are decoded and displayed by MPC-HC. in the option of mpc-hc -> playback -> open settings you find a checkbox "Auto-load subtitles". this is necessary for the subs.
before there was a bluray, I have the subs loaded with VSFilter. (turned off auto-load). but only mpc-hc can cause wide bluray sups.
but there was an issue. if I jump through the video the sups are not correctly displayed.
often is the last shown sup shows twice before the next sup displayed. or no sup will be displayed for a short time (20 secs).
then i installed madVR and the sup issues are almost gone. madVR is a video renderer and you can after installing it set on the option in mpc-hc in the playback->output->page.(only 32bit)

since the multi versions editor sometimes the finished mkv seems to stutter, you get the BD demux button, which then demux everything.
you could then load everything in mmg and mux.
the whole is now automated, it is also a chapters.xml, Tags.xml and the mmg-file created ("selectablly" during checkbox).
the checkbox "selectablly" brings even more functionality for BD demuxing.
you can then in the ListView the individual tracks on / deselect track sequence-change and save the video as an optional mkv.
is not a file name for the mmg / mkv "BD_demux" will be awarded automatically used as the name.

- Time codes are checked to ensure that no duplicate will be created
- a limit for the maximum time code depending on the playing time
& muxing: joining the cut part-mkv'S
- select the items in the ListView
- automatic creation of a separate mmg mux file
* ignore last m2ts
- an error occurred when selecting an edition when the last m2ts was not ignored
- chapter file was created incorrectly (wrong duration)
* external subtitles which was not associated with language produced an error in the mmg
-"Undetermined" is now used as the default language
# adapt the generated mmg files to mkvMergeGUI-7.0.0(needed from now)
# Track order: the drag track is now selected after the drop operation
% a button "cutting" insert
% inserted a panel with the cutting and muxing options

Hi hubblec4,
I came across something. Every now and then I use ChapterGrabber to easily get chapternames from music discs and save them as MKV xml file. In the past chapterEditor accepted these xml outputs - for editing - without a problem.
When I import them now, cE gives me error "This xml file is not supported."
I don't know from what version of cE this behaviour is, but can you have a look at it? As far as I know the version of CG did not change.
:thanks:

It was easy to find the issue.
ChapterGrabber's XML files do not correctly use the matroskachapters.dtd match.
There are no UIDs for the editions or the chapters, but this are mandatory elements.
The timecodes are not correctly too (but works).
CG-xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Chapters>
<EditionEntry>
<EditionFlagHidden>0</EditionFlagHidden>
<EditionFlagDefault>0</EditionFlagDefault>
<ChapterAtom>
<ChapterDisplay>
<ChapterString>Prologue</ChapterString>
<ChapterLanguage>eng</ChapterLanguage>
</ChapterDisplay>
<ChapterTimeStart>00:00:00</ChapterTimeStart>
<ChapterFlagHidden>0</ChapterFlagHidden>
<ChapterFlagEnabled>1</ChapterFlagEnabled>
</ChapterAtom>
....
Mosu's chapter editor generate this UIDs automaticly.
i could make that too in cE.
EDIT:
...
In the past chapterEditor accepted these xml outputs - for editing - without a problem.
...
since rev0.02 is the XML-valid-procedure not changed.

i have not much time at the moment.
the best way for the moment, you save the chapter as "chapter text file.txt"
in Chapter Grabber.
now you can load the chapter file without issues and save it as xml file.
