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

@Ryu77, your profile link in the first post is dead. Found you other one though.

 

Thank you, it's fixed now.

 

@Ryu77

Do you have any why MeGUI/AviSynth does not encode mkv files whereas it works just fine remuxed to m2ts. If I remember correctly mkv worked just fine for me when I first started... but for the life of me I cannot remember what has changed, aside for MeGUI versions. MeGUI accepts mkv's and the encoding process starts, it just does not start into the 1st pass.

Could it be Haali, or CCCP? I thought I read somewhere that if I had Haali Hedia Splitter installed I should not have CCCP or K-Lite installed, is this true?

 

Hi there,

With the Guide, I was able to create my first Blu-ray disk without any problems. Attempted to create my second and I keep getting a problem during the process video portion of the guide:
- In MeGUI, follow the process for creating the AviSynth script but the preview window does not show the video in question.
- I continue with the process and make it all the way thru staring the 2-pass queue.
- As it is going thru the 1st pass, I encounter an error that x264.exe has stopped working.
- I have reloaded MeGui twice now from the original zip files.
- I can view the actual muxed file in PowerDVD (using the file mode) so the file is good after using AnyDVD.
- I am running Windows Vista and it captured the last error encountered for x264.exe as follows:

I guess I'm at a loss at this point - not sure what to do next to resolve this issue...Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

Ryu77, the code is either no good or expired... and idea when it expires, or could the code be earlyxmas08, not 09?

 

OK - It seems that something happened between the time I created my first blu-ray disk and the 2nd attempt to create another disk where I lost the codec to view the preview image for the video.

Not a techy guy but I figured I would use AVSEdit to manually run the AVS script listed in the Blu-ray guide...Still had the same problem so I did a search on for AVISynth and M2ts on the web and came up with the following post on another site:

http://forum.videohelp.com/topic356628.html

Read thru that which suggested to try playing the video file thru Windows media player - if the codec was good, I should be able to see it...Did that and still saw a problem.

Kept reading thru the post some more which suggested that I re-install the codecs on the PC and go from there.

Since I had no problem the first time around, I did NOT install K-Lite Codec Pack but I installed it and ran the manual AVS script and IT worked!!

I was able to see the video file so now I'll go back to the guide and re-process the video stream again.

I hope this helps for someone else...Thanks!

 

I guess Terjyn mite be right because The New X-Files BD has a new kind of BD+ that Slysoft is haven't a hard time cracking.

 

Oh well, it worked for me the other day. I guess they finished the promotion. Yes it was earlyxmas09. I thought it was strange also but it definitely was 09.

Terjyn was implying that BD+ had not been cracked yet in any form. Whilst I am aware that BD+ offers a renewable form of protection through unique keys, it will always be bypassed and we will be able to make backups soon enough.

 

I don't have any problems at all calling on direct show filters for MKV files through AVIsynth. I manually create my scripts though. I don't use the script creator in MeGUI. However, this should not make a difference.

I think you might have a conflict of codecs/filters on your system. K-lite Mega Codec Pack comes with the Haali Media Splitter so there would be no need to install that separately.

I have been using that pack exclusively for many years and have never had any conflicts or issues with it. I am aware that some frown upon codec packs and claim they are for nOObs. I beg to differ. With the limited time I have available, K-lite gives me everything I need and I only need to make sure that I keep up to date with one piece of software rather than dozens.

 

Alrighty then, I think I'll ditch CCCP and just go with the Haali/K-lite combo that's been installed all of this time. It's strange though, the exact same file remuxed to m2ts (same h264 stream) and it recodes fine.

Apparently it expired on Dec. 5. This according to Fatwallet.com.

 

Hi, I'm simply trying to get a Anime H264/AVC (2 audio channels) MKV , file to play on my PS3, I'm useless when it comes to converting so I've tried to use the simplest converters for this. I've encountered the same problem each time - the audio is out of sync, it's well behind the video. I've tried MKV2VOB, GETSent and TSMuxer all had exactly the same results.

Media Info
Res: 720x480
Frame Rate 29.97
Audio Channels: 2
Sample Rate 48000Hz

Any help appeciated, cheers

 

What is happening is the video is playing @ 29.97fps with pulldown and the audio is playing at 23.976fps without pulldown, slightly slower than the video.

If there is "pulldown" applied to the video stream it needs to be removed. I believe tsMuxeR can do this, eac3to can definetly do this.

 

@ Ryu77

AVCHDMe has been updated by idbirch2 over at Doom9. In addition to the usual renaming of each file for AVCHD structures there is a new feature that fixes each CLPI file with the proper m2ts file sizes, this is what was causing the 2-3 second pause between each seamless branch.

Before this update was made this could be fixed using a hex editor but now with a click of a button. I have already watched an untouched BD rip (main movie only obviously, split to 4GB pieces) with the patched CLPIs and there is absolutley no pause

Could you please update the first post in this thread. Thanks.

Thanks for replying, I've checked on TSmuxer and there is an option to remove pulldown but the box is greyed out for this video, does that mean there isn't pulldown applied to this video or tsmuxer can't remove it? Is there any other way of checking what the problem is?

Thank You

 

Now that I think about it my pulldown theory doesn't make sense, most DVDs and HDDVDs have pulldown applied and the audio is still in sync, so I don't think that is your problem. It might be the way the video was initially encoded, it could be that it was encoded to a true 29.97fps as opposed to 23.976 with pulldown.

You could try to recode the video back to 23.976fps. I don't know if simply changing the fps option is tsMuxeR to 24000/1001 will work, or you may actually need to recode with MeGUI/AviSynth. I have never needed to do this so I'm not quite sure how.

Your script for AviSynth might look something like this.

DirectShowSource("C:\Video\Anime.mkv", fps=29.97, audio=false)
ChangeFPS(23.976)
#deinterlace
#crop
#resize
#denoise

Keep in mind I have never actually done this so I'm not sure if it will work.

 

Thanks again for your reply, I've tried using MeGUI, but I've had troble getting any sound on the video as it has 2 audio tracks, thanks to your help I can change the fps, what about the sound?

Thanks again

 

Done.

By the way, I ended up buying that Pioneer VSX-LX70 AV Receiver. As it has just recently become discontinued I got a really good price on it.

http://www.pioneer.com.au/Help Cent...inment/Amplifiers and Receivers/VSX LX70.aspx

Now, I need to find the right speakers. I am thinking the JBL E1000 pack. After some thorough listening, I think I like the sound of JBL speakers the most.

The pack has a RRP of $3,999 (AUD) and consists of...

ES100 Front Speakers: http://www.jbl.com/home/products/pr...e=ENG&Country=GB&Region=EUROPE&cat=CLA&ser=ES
ES25C Center: http://www.jbl.com/home/products/pr...e=ENG&Country=GB&Region=EUROPE&cat=CLA&ser=ES
ES20 Surrounds: http://www.jbl.com/home/products/pr...e=ENG&Country=GB&Region=EUROPE&cat=CLA&ser=ES
ES250P Subwoofer: http://www.jbl.com/home/products/pr...e=ENG&Country=GB&Region=EUROPE&cat=CLA&ser=ES

I would also like to find a good set of dipole speakers to add to the side for a 7.1 configuration. I will post some pics when I am done. That might take a little while. My finances can only take so much of a hiding at one time.

 

Yeah, my speakers are one step up from a HTIB :-( Can't wait for the pics!

 

I've tried changing the Video fps using tsmuxer but just can't get the entire sound in sync with the video, so for instance the at the start of the video the sound would be slighty ahead of the video, during the course the video starts moving ahead of the sound and by the end the sound is well behind the video. I've checked the original video and that has no problems at all.

I'm pretty confused as to why this happens, please help.

 

I ordered the speakers today! That was a long delay wasn't it? Hehe, I couldn't help myself. There's no point having such a nice AV Receiver sitting there without the right speakers.
