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

A couple of folks over at Doom9 seem to think eac3to handles seemless branching titles better than tsMuxeR, any thoughts on this?

 

I have been trying to use Eac3to to convert an AC3 with the PAL speedup and it takes a long long time to finish.

I put an MKV file in tsMuxer and it only showed the H264 track and no audio track. So, I used MKVextract to extract the audio even though the audio was AC3 it didn't show on tsMuxer. It only showed the video track, what do I do? Anyone experience this before?

 

What is the Playlist file ?

 

It is the Playlist folder, instead of the Stream folder. They're all MPLS files, you just gotta find the right one.

 

How do i know which one to look for size etc.....The BD movie i have now has over 1000 playlist files....Thxs

 

oops.....my bad

skipping issues

i muxed my compressed .mkv file with ac3 audio file from original blu ray disk using megui mkv muxer and the resulting .mkv file skips video and audio. it plays for a bit and seems ok. then either the audio or video starts skipping or slowing down (video only). any ideas ?

 

Did you compress the video stream? If not high bit rates of h264 sometimes would cause this if your PC isn't powerful enough. I run a quad core 2.4GHz, 3.3GB ram, 250mb GFX... my PC stutters sometimes when I play h264 files from the m2ts file. But if I play the actual BD it plays fine.

I suggest, if you use your PC as your playback device, remux to Blu-ray using tsMuxeR, create an ISO image (UDF 2.5) with IMGBurn and playback with a virtual drive... I use Slysoft's. It would be like playing a disc istead of the file.

 

It appears remuxing TrueHD might be possible now in tsMuxeR... mostly thanks to madshi over at Doom9. Using eac3to running the following command might work, I cannot test as I do not have a HDMI receiver.

Unfortunately you must be familiar with command based actions, I don't think there is a GUI that can do this... yet.

Code:

eac3to input.thd output.thd+ac3

 

tsMuxeR has supported TrueHD since version 1.2.6.

To take advantage of lossless audio (Dolby TrueHD/DTS-HD Master Audio) doesn't necessarily require an AV Receiver with HDMI decoding. You can use the analog multi channel RCA connections between your player and receiver. Providing your Blu-ray player has the required decoders and has decent DAC's then you will be able to experience the full quality audio that the HD formats offer.

 

I was under the impression that tsMuxeR had issues with a TrueHD track straight from a BD rip, it wasn't until recently that madshi implemented the thd+ac3 fix.

With the command you can now take a HDDVD TrueHD track and make it BD, maybe that was what the issue was.

EDIT: Is there an accessory for the PS3 that can do 5.1 anologue out?

 

Okay im still getting this error & don't know why any answers ?...I'm about to us ripbot264.

 

What happens if the mkv or ts files have other audio codecs like DTS/DTSHD? What does it do? Is there any way to keep the original codecs and be able to play in the PS3?

 

Run it through mkv2vob and it will fix your issue. I had the same problem with an AC3 track of a a movie, I run it through mkv2vob and output it as m2ts. tsMuxer was then able to see both video and tracks...where before it could only see the video track. Hope it helps you!

Only by creating a Blu-ray disc using tsMuxer.

 

Hi. I am new to this forum since I JUST joined now. And also, not only new to this, but new to learn how to use and covert media format/files such as MKV file or AVI or XVID or DVIX or whatever.

When I finally downloaded Tsmuxer software and the conversion seemed to work, but what puzzled me the most is: the mb of the file itself. I mean, I downloaded Bleach and Naruto Shippuden series from Dattebayo.com. However, in this case, let me use Bleach Movie #2 as an example. When I downloaded it via BitTorrent and it showed 700Mb, but when converting (from video clip, not mkv file- I don't know why anyway)... when the conversion was complete, it showed only 4.15MB??? I am confused. How do I do it right way? I mean I read and followed the instruction from Ryu77 on his thread on how to do it...

It should be 700MB instead of 4.15MB, right??? Any helpful advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.
