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

Do you recode the HDDVD video using a Blu-Ray profile before muxing to Blu-Ray.

 

Yes,i always use Ryu profile nothing else....

 

I forgot to ask, before you recoded did you remove the 3:2 pulldown from the video stream. HDDVDs and BDs fun at different frame rates; HDDVD = 29.97fps, BD = 23.976fps. taMuxeR can do this.

 

Yes i did...Using TsMuxer

 

Apologies if this has been answered already.
I have started converting some MKV files using TSMuXER.
I was told to change the 5.1 to 4.1 for the audio (to be played in a PS3). The first movie I did had a green bar at the bottom of the screen so I chose m2ts for the second attempt and it came out prefectly. The only problem I have is the m2ts conversion doesnt seem to allow chapters. I know not all the files I have need the m2ts but I don't know how to know if they do or not. I know its something to do with the resolution. Sorry if this is a bit vague I am completely new at this.
Thanks.

 

I just made a HD-DVD with my raw x264 file which is 7.3 GB the audio was 498MB i wanted more space for encoding so i didn't make room for the headed.How would i burn this movie together? I heard that i could if i didn't have DTS audio.

I don't see why this wouldn't work. As long as you re-encode all the files and replace them as exactly the same file name, leaving all the original directory files intact.

What would you like to achieve? Do you want to shrink a Blu-ray disc down to DVD-9 size? Or is it BD-50 down to BD-25?

 

Ryu, the profile before this one... was it geared more towards full BD rips, rather than mkv downloads? Or did it matter?

I just ran a download, everything the same except the procecess frame rate was approx 45fps/13fps. The end results was a 425mb file, even though I specified 6.3GB... this happened twice.

EDIT: This happened with other profiles too. I am currentsly running a full BD rip and everything seems to be going normal.

Another thing, I dropped your new profile in the Profiles\Video directory but nothing shows??? Wassup with that?

 

Strange... Did you use the MeGUI bitrate calculator to work out the correct bitrate?

I have found problems with this before. What I usually do now is use the bitrate calculator to work out the bitrate I need, then I go and manually enter it into the x264 encoder. When MeGUI asks me if I want to save the new settings I choose yes.

The settings in my profiles have been geared towards quality in general. It wouldn't matter if the source is an original Blu-ray or a download. Provided that the source is clean to start with then that profile should provide a very high quality encode.

I am led to believe though that if your source is animation/CGI, then it may be better to re-enable DCT decimation. However, the end result will be have minimal difference.

 

Yeah, I tried both ways with the same problem. Not sure what's going on.

Another thing, I tried importing your new profile but it doesn't show up in the MeGUI dropdown list.

 

Has anybody came across this issue. I ripped a BD but the HD m2ts files played back scrambled with the entire screen pixelized and green. When I tried playing the same file on ym PS3 it was fine.

 

I just discovered that changing the keyframe interval on my last profile update did indeed improve codec efficiency but it reduced Blu-ray compatibility.

I am very sorry...

Here is another one with the keyframe interval set back as before...

I figured a way around this problem. I just remuxed the mkv to m2ts, then ran that file through... It's going through MeGUI right now and at a normal rate.

 

Is there a trick to importing profiles??? I try importing, placing the file the the proper directory but the profile is not there in MeGUI. Anybody have any suggestions.

 

I am running a newer version of MeGUI that has had some major changes since version x.2.x.xxxx.

I am running MeGUI v0.3.0.1020 and x264 version 920 (Skystrife patch). I think maybe this has something to do with it.

 

All is updated and working fine now, thanks.

 

Can this issue with your update be fixed? I was really looking forward to your new profile.......

 

Which issue?

The profile is only to ensure that x264 encoding is done within the Blu-ray compliant boundaries. I have spent some time fine tuning the settings to maximise quality.

I did an encode with minimum keyframe 24/maximum keyframe 240 and it played fine on the PS3, however after further research it seems that the minimum keyframe 1/maximum keyframe 24 setting is needed for Blu-ray compliancy. I am looking into this further to try to work out why this is so important. To me it seems a strange requirement as extra keyframes means more bits used.

 

Hey Guys,i really need your help here, im wanting to do my very first vc-1 bluray to ps3 conversion.....heres what ive done so far,

1) ripped the main movie from the bd disk to HDD using tsmuxer, this is in m2ts format, and is one big file

2) installed megui, net framework 2, and upgraded to latest version, and installed all updates....

3) installed latest alpha version of Avisynth

4) Within my megui install directory, i created a new folder named "Profiles", within this directory i created another directory named "Video", and placed the "ryu77" xml profile in there.

5) everytime i try to load megui, it says "failed to load profile, delte?", i say no, but it still deletes the profile and the whole "Profiles" folder..

What am i doing wrong, how do i load the ryu77 profile using the latest megui?

Also, how do i load the M2ts file in megui?, i guess it has something to do with avisynth, ive never used this program before, and it looks confusing....please help me, im so close i feel
