Hello, I've been trying to fit an MKV file I have (1920x1080p w/DTS sound) onto a DVD DL & can't seem to do it...when I use TSMuxer to convert the 7.9 gig file to Blu-ray structure, it will come out to about 8.3 gigs...even cutting the credits, it only goes down to about 8.2 gigs. I'm about 272 MB over for burning it & I was trying to figure out the easiest way to "shrink" the file...Does anyone have any ideas that aren't too complex? I downloaded every app I thought I could use but had trouble with a couple. I was trying to find an .avs script for a 1920x1080p file @ 23.976 fps but I couldn't find anything. It would be much appreciated, this is killing me
Re-encode the audio to Dolby Digital. You will save enough with the conversion. I am guessing the DTS track is 1536Kbs, with Dolby the highest you could go is 640Kbs. This would save you the few hundred Megabytes that you need. Please see the threads in my signature for more info.
I haven't tried this app before, will I be able to shrink the MKV file itself? Ryu, what app can I use to take the dts file & convert it to ac3? I was able to seperate the audio & video, but I'm not sure how to convert it...thanks for both the replies, I appreciate any help I can get!! ~Vince
Ryu, I was able to convert the DTS stream to AC3 using eac3to...I had demuxed the files using tsMuxer (.264 file & DTS file), reencoded the audio to fit then remuxed the files (again, using tsMuxer) into Blu-ray format & it fit (as well as played flawlessly as a AVCHD on a PS3) onto a DVD-R DL..my question now is how do I hard code subs onto the video? Does anyone have a clue? ~Vince
You do not need to hardcode subs, the latest tsMuxeR takes srt subs, but only in the Blu-Ray structure. I have already tested this out and it works fine, the only thing is the subs are not automatic, they need to be turned on right away. When rhe movie starts hit the triangle button, find the subtitle icon and hit the X button.
Odin, Thanks for the reply. Had to do a little trial & error to get the subs the right vertical height & size. I got a couple replies over on Doom9 & was able to "stumble" through the rest. I was hoping they would be hard-coded, but selecting them isn't a problem. The 1st disc I burned when I was able to select the subs, I was pissed & psyched at the same time. I got it to work technically, but the subs were too small & 3/4 quarters off the screen!! Thankfully, I have a surplus of DVD-R DL discs Thanks again ~Vince
Good to hear things worked out... sort of. You know with tsMuxeR you can change the font size. Also if you reall want to hardcode the subs here you go, but remember they have to be spot on or else you will need to recode them in again, rather than an easy delay with tsMuxer. Use this script to hardcode. Remember to make sure the directories are to where the files are on your computer... not necessarily as shown below ("D" drive). DirectShowSource("D:\ExampleVideo.mkv",23.976) loadplugin("D:\VSFilter.dll") TextSub("D:\ExampleSubtitle.srt") I tried this once but had no success as I was fairly new with AVIsynth and since then I haven't needed it. Good luck.
