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 feel like joining up to that forum just so I can tell Terjyn how wrong he is. He seriously thinks that BD+ hasn't been cracked yet... So I guess this whole thread (and many others) is just all part of our imagination and we are just blogging random junk for the fun of it.
Edit: I couldn't help myself... I had to let him have it.
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

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.

I'm not sure what's going on then? I remember a while back I had a similar issue that I could not resolve, I just gave up on it. Maybe Ryu77 can help.

Hi Ryu.
Thanks for creating the Guide.
Just wondering if there is an easier way of going from Bluray to DVD-9.
These are the steps that I take at this time.
1.Anydvd Blueray to harddrive.
2.Tsmuxer only main video and main DTS audio.
3.Mkvmerge the movie file to MKV format. (so i can get it is compatible with (Megui).
4.MEgui - create AV script with only video.
5.Calculate Bitrate to 6.8G
6.Run YOUR script.
7.Run TSmuxer once again with the new raw h.264 file and the downconverted audio to create bluray structer.
8.Burn to disc.
Is there a way to go from demux straight to Megui for bit rate compression?
Thanks for your insight.
B.

I use the m2ts file directly from my BD rips, even with all of the extra streams included... however you will most likely need the file size of the audio to calculate your new compressed bitrate so demuxing is sometimes necessary. Also if there is two video streams withing the m2ts file (from the BD rip).
Anyway, I suggest using eac3to to demux. It's a lot more accurate when demuxing, and it will remux to mkv on the fly... if you tell it to.

You could always use the nice little GUI created for EAC3to exactly for this task. HdBrStreamExtractor needs to be executed from the EAC3to root directory. This handy little app will automatically find the main movie for you when pointed towards the Blu-ray folder and allows you to extract to raw or various other formats...
