Help burning hi-def movie on DVD

Hi all,

Started trying to burn hi-def movie and blu-rays recently and have had nothing but bother, was hoping someone could please help me out.

After unsuccessfully trying to convert and burn an .mkv movie file to BD-R, I attempted trying to fit on a regular DVD-R.

I took my original Boogie Nights 720p.mkv (H.264-AC3) file and loaded it into tsMuxeR to find out that it actually had a resolution 1280 by 528p. So I re-encoded it using RipBot264 to a resolution of 1280 by 720p and 4.1 channels.

The output file was only 2.88 Gb aompared to the source file at 7.93 Gb.

I then loaded up my new .mkv file in tsMuxeR and exported the M2TS stream, changing it back to 5.1 channels, as instructed in the relevant thread, getting an output file of 3.29 Gb.

I then loaded up Nero Burning ROM and burned the .mt2s file onto a DVD-5 as a DVD-ROM (UDF) leaving the automatic settings.

When I tried to play the final disc in my BD drive using Cyberlink PowerDVD HD, I got a message saying a disc with unsupported format in drive E:

I think I followed all the steps in the tutorial correct, can someone help me and tell me where I've gone wrong????

Cheers for reading

 

These are not references to audio (channels), they are levels to the AVC video codec (nothing to do with audio).

As for the "back to 5.1...as instructed...", you must have misread, that AVC level is out of the Blu-ray spec. you cannot go higher than 4.1. Remux to Blu-ray, this time keep the AVC level at 4.1.

Good luck.

 

Apologies, I'll try using that method, thanks for your help again, mch appreciated.

I did manage to get it working by converting the new resolution .mkv file to Blu-ray disk rather than .mt2s and burning that to a DVD-5, even although the audio was AC3.

 

with m2ts you are limited to only AC3 for audio, with Blu-Ray you can use any of the three main surround sound formats; AC3, DTS, or LPCM. Also with the Blu-Ray format you can implement subtitles.

 

I'll stick with the blu ray format for now then, works a treat.

Thanks for all your help odin much appreciated.

P.s. You don;t by any chance know the best website for custom blu ray covers??

 

Sorry, I do not. I usually keep my AVCHD's in a binder. I did search for one in particular once, several websites came up though.

 

check with avs forums they do have a thread dedicted to bluray custom art

 

Try www.cdcovers.cc

Once you get to the covers area, change the 'Section' from DVD to Blu-ray.

 

Cheers had a look there and found some decent covers. Would also recommend:

http://www.euphoricfx.org

and

If anyone's interested in high quality covers or designing them.

 

Okay I've hit another bump in the road when trying to re-encode Pulp Fiction.mkv from 1920 by 816p to 1920 by 1080p using ripbot264.

I tried to open the file and after the program automatically demuxed audio streams and gathered informations, I got a message via media payer classic saying - m2audiodtssource - "file name" - is not a valid dts file, so I didn't even get to re-encode????

Alsoo I tried using MeGUI but that programs stops working when I try to open a file??

Can someone tell me what is wrong or alternative methods??

Cheers
