PS3 compatible video creation thread (tsMuxeR etc.).

hi everybody!

I'm new to this and I have a simple question I haven't been able to solve reading most of the thread:

Is there a way to make a .vob file with dual audio (two audio strings, eng & spa) and the possibility of turning subtitles on and off on the PS3. Most of my .mkv files have this caracteristics and it would be great to keep them that way...

Thanks in advance!

 

Are you running eac3to from it's download folder, with all of the other goodies in there? The version you are using comes with an app called NeroAacDec.exe which decodes the AAC track.

Also, to see if eac3to see's all of the extra filters you have installed run the following command. Also, the GUI doesn't accept AAC, even though eac3to does.

Code:

eac3to.exe -test

 

nero audio decoder (nero 6 or older) doesnt seem to be installed. caution you need nero 7
Arcsoft DTS decoder doesnt seem to be installed
sonic audio decoder doesnt seem to be installed

so can i presume i need to install nero? and it has to be nero 7 or earlier?

what about arcsoft and sonic, do i need those also?

cheers

 

Honestly, I don't know if Nero needs to be installed... I have always had it on my PC. Sonic and Arcsoft, no... these are the preferred deocders for DTS, Arcsoft being the default.

 

No.

 

OK guys, I need some help regarding an issue.

I have an MKV file which has an OGM (Ogg Vorbis) Audio Stream.

I tried putting the OGM file in tsMuxer, but it seems tsMuxer does not support OGM yet.

I need to convert this to either DTS or AC3, so that it works with tsMuxer. I am making an AVCHD DVD for the PS3 by the way.

Please tell me to which format should I convert this OGM file into, DTS or AC3.

Secondly, also please tell the steps for this conversion, like which program to use, etc ..

Thanx for your help

 

I prefer DTS over AC3. And everything you need to make an AVCHD is in this toolkit:

alright thanx for that reply. But I was actually asking if you can specifically tell me which program to use for the OGM to DTS (or AC3) Conversion .. Please tell me this too .. thanx

 

Hi all,

I have an m2ts file that when converted to m2ts (via tsmuxer) only plays audio, the video is black. I checked the levels on the mkv file and it was 5.1, so I used --
1 - mkvextract to extract both ac3 audio and h264 video streams
2 - opened the video stream in h264info and changed the level to 4.1 (only value added)
3 - muxed the video and audio stream files back together into a m2ts file in tsmuxer

When I play the file on the ps3, the video still does not play.
When I play the new m2ts file on my pc, the video appears very blotchy and pixelated.

Would anyone know what step's I'm missing or need to add ?

 

Sometimes changing the level alone from 5.1 to 4.1 or 4.0 is not enough (for example if the video uses too many reference frames)

You will probably need to re-encode the video.

 

Hi all,

i need to say a big contratulations to myself for finally re-muxing my MKV file to m2ts. it only took me 4 days of hard slogging and trial and error.

i must say a big thanx on here to all the posters who give their tips and time to help us - especially Ryu77, Odin and Alcore.

Odin - your recommendation with eac3to worked a treat - i actually had to -r8brain my file (as recommended by eac3to) which finally worked to make the file to a playable format for my PS3.

cheers all

 

Good. If you need more help there is another good thread here. It deals with video processing on many levels. Another thread started by Ryu77.

 

Hey everyone, me again .. I don't mean to be rude or anything, but I needed to ask you people (especially ryu and odin), which tool to use if I want to convert an OGM (Ogg Vorbis) audio file into a DTS or AC3 file, and how to do this .. Please help me out, I've been stuck at this point for a few days now ..

 

I have never really worked with OGG before, is that the container or the codec? If you could upload a sample I might be able to help.

EDIT: I just read the hyperlink on OGG, they suggest Foobar for playback, maybe this app converts too???

 

OK, I have uploaded the OGG file, here's the download link:

http://rapidshare.com/files/179347105/Kung.Fu.Panda.2008.1080p.BluRay.DTS.x264-ESiR-001_Track3.ogg

Its a 20MB file.

Please take it for a test drive, and then tell me how to properly convert it to either DTS or AC3, whichever is better ..

Thanx

 

Did the original MKV come packaged with DTS too?

EDIT: That track only has 2 channels and has a bit rate of only 80kb/s, not the greatest but easily converted.

I used Aften encoder, controlled by MeGUI. If you have never used MeGUI before for audio encoding you may need to set the program paths first, do this from the options section of MeGUI. Options/Settings/Program Paths/Audio/... then under the Aften section browse for Aften.exe, is should come bundled with the latest MeGUI.

1. Open MeGUI
2. In the audio section, load the OGG file directly
3. Set the "Extension" to AC3, Encoder Settings to Aften AC-3: Aften DVD Low.
4. "Config" button, set the bitrate to 128kb/s, OK.
5. Enqueue
6. Queue Tab, start.

 

lol, how did you know ??

anyways, yes, in the original MKV, there are two audio streams, one is DTS (the main audio) .. the second one is the commentary in english .. this is the OGG one ..

 

I just updated my previous comment, see my instructions. Your ogg file that you uploaded showed DTS in the description.

 

hi there,

i have a very strange problem... i stream 720p or 1080p content (originaly .mkv - now vob or live transcoded .mkv) to PS3. content is 1080p/24 or 720p/24.
On my full-hd display blu-ray discs play without any problems in 1080p/24.

This is what happens when i STREAM the content to the PS3:

720p/24 --> Streamed --> PS3 --> Display 1080p/60
1080p/24 --> Streamed --> PS3 --> Display 1080p/60

when i take the stream content and burn it as AVCHD on a dvd that i play on the PS3 it plays the content these 3 ways:

720p/24 --> AVCHD DVD --> PS3 --> Display 720p/60
1080p/24 --> AVCHD DVD --> PS3 --> Display 1080p/24 (Upscaled from 720p/24 and burned as 1080p/24 to AVCHD DVD)
1080p/24 --> AVCHD DVD --> PS3 --> Display 1080p/24 (Original 1080p/24)

my question is, whats so different between streaming and burning as AVCHD and how do i solve the 24/60 problem ?

 

What do you mean by upscaled from 720p/24 and burned as 1080p/24? Did you re-encode it and resize it to 1920 x 1080?

The PS3 will only play in the native 24fps from a 1080p AVCHD or Blu-ray disc. It will not play at 24fps with a 720p source. I don't have an answer as to why, I can only tell you what is.
