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?

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.

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).

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)

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.

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

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.

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?

Changed Max Keyframe from 24 to 240
Changed Trellis from Level 1 (Final MB) to 2 (Always)
Checked No DCT decimation (to disable DCT decimation)
Changed Min Quant to 8

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.
