The complete HD (Blu-ray/HD-DVD) back-up thread.

Thxs.Ryu77 that helped i haven't seen you in a while so how is the job coming along?

 

@Ryu77

Hey Ryu,
I noticed there is an option in tsMuxeR under the General tab; "Restore cropped video to full size" that is not selectable yet. Do you think this will be a usable option in a newer version?

 

Does anyone know the link for dgindex? TY

 

PLEASE HELP****
I've made a couple of conversions with Megui, however now everytime I try and process a file I keep getting the same error no matter what settings I change or keep the same.

When I hit start in the Queue tab for job 1, I immediately get an error. It seems to be in the x264 module.
An error occurred: x264[error]: ratecontrol_init: can't open stats file
An error occurred: x264[error]: x264encoder_open failed

Can anyone tell me what is going on with this error? The only thing I did was add the Ryu77 Blu Ray profile. I am trying to reencode into 264 raw file.

Thanks for any help you can give.

 

That's because the encoder is looking for the x264 log file in the directory that it was in on my PC. All you need to do is open up the x264 configuration window and create a new log file directory.

Thanks RYU77!!! I can't believe it was that simple!

 

Using EVOdumux I am able to demux a subtitle stream to .sup, however tsMuxeR will not recognize the file. SUPread does and the images are fine. Is there a way to make the .sup BD compatible?

 

Excellent thread. I read through the entire thread and I was wondering if there was a way to shrink the m2ts stream but preserve the original BluRay menus, etc?

I have Dragon's Lair which I believe is the first BluRay to fully utilize the BD-J features and included are 2 documentaries that put the disc at 14gb. Shrinking those 2 and including the CLIPINFO and PLAYLIST files (with hexedit) should in theory work but when I burn the entire structure, the PS3 sees it as a data disc.

Has anyone been able to preserve the original menus?

The Dragon's Lair disc has over 200 m2ts files and the BD-J features allows it to play like the video game and access the small files as needed. You can't shrink this one without all the BD-J features / original structure and files... Any ideas?

 

Question how do i increase my Bitrate when i look at some HD Blu-Ray torrents like Vantage Point there Bitrate is 11,985 total size of the disc is 7.95 but my total size going to be 7.90 GB & Bitrate around 7 or 8 thousand how do these guy do this? Thxs

 

It depends on the length of the movie. I just did a 90 minute movie accompanied with a Dolby 5.1 track @ 640Kbs and I was able to allocate 11,000Kbs for the video.

Also remember those torrents have about an extra 600MB of space to play with as they are using Matroska (mkv) as a container. This container uses virtually zero header space, compared to m2ts/Blu-ray needing approximately 6% of the movie file size allocated to the header.

 

How do i add DTS(HD-DVD) tracks on some of my AVCHD?

 

Hey Ryu77, have you seen this before? I was trying to start recode and I got this.

AviSynth Error;

DirecectShowSource could not open the file: "Movie.mkv". No comination of filters could be found to open the stream.

EDIT: I remuxed just the video stream to m2ts and that worked fine. The source did have several text sub files (.ass format).

 

@Odin24


I'm still getting errors using eac3toGui with my audio now i get a message saying

The System cannot find the Path Specified.Thxs


This is driving me crazy i have tried naming the file different names still don't work.

 

If this is your first time using eac3to/GUI you need to specify the eac3to.exe location in the GUI. Go to "Settings", your only option is to specify "eac3to location".

 

This isn't my first time using it.I think i messed it up the other day by going into setting then the exe location file.

But i still don't understand what i'm looking for the exe file or the file for my audio its trying to locate?

 

Re-download eac3to.exe at the start of the thread, unzip it and put it in the same folder where all of your eac3toGUI contents are... this folder should have a bunch of .dll and .txt files. Now open eac3toGUI and re-assign the eac3to.exe location to that one.

Now try to convert an audio file, keep the source file name simple. Make sure the output file name is not the same as the source, i.e. AUDIO.AC3 (source) and AUDIO_FIXED.AC3 (converted)

 

Issue fixed thxs......I wish i could found(guide)how to add DTS audio to my HD-DVD(AVCHD).

 

What happens when you try to add the DTS track from the HDDVD in to tsMuxeR?

 

TsMuxeR didn't have a problem with the audio.I burned the video & DTS audio together in Blu-Ray format no problem Also burn fine in Nero but when i view it the audio is off like 5 mins then 10min into the movie the audio will crash leaving me with just a picture & no audio.
