Any thoughts?
Ryu77, I thought I did read somewhere that the newer builds of x264 will not support a slew of previous commands, which is why most of your profiles are now stipped down. I had to revert back to MeGUI 3.1.1053 to get your profiles back... however I know that I cannot get the latest x264. Just search this site for MeGUI and 3.1.1053 can be downloaded here.
duckwood, You can just copy/paste the .xml files from the extracted zip file and place them in the MeGUI installation directory... be sure to place them in allprofiles/x264. I had the hardest time doing this myself, for some reason the would automatically delete after doing this. I ended up copying the whole x264 folder into the MeGUI installation directory and overwriting the existing one, that seemed to do the trick.
But beware, Ryu77's new profiles at the moment are not compatible with the x264 build that comes with MeGUI v3.1.1056... see my comment above in this very post.

Ok, I have a weird problem.
I backed up G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra blu-ray to my hard drive using DVDFab.
I then used BD Rebuilder to shrink it down to fit a BD-R disc. BD Rebuilder seemingly worked perfectly and I burned the disc using both IMGBurn and Nero Burning Rom with UDF 2.50.
I tried the disc on my PC and it worked perfectly fine with PowerDVD. When I tried the disc in my PS3, the icon for G.I. Joe was displayed on the menu, but when I went to play the disc it just does a black screen. I've used the info button to watch what it does and it does go through several titles before it gets to a point where it freezes. From there I can't do anything other than quite playback.
The retail disc plays perfectly fine in the PS3, so I'm not sure what is going on. I don't know if there is some BD-Live thing that's acting funny or what, but I do know that if I run AnyDvdHD with the disc in my PC and I select "Disable BD-Live" and then run it in PowerDVD it also does only a black screen (but doesn't go through as many titles before stopping).
Is there something on my PS3 that's disabling BD-Live? I can't figure this one out at all. All my other backups play fine, it's only GI Joe having this issue.

I am new to Blu ray . I bought a Blu Ray Reader, read what I thought was enough to copy a Blu Ray disk I own to a dvd disc. I downloaded DvdFabhd, used the Blu ray to Blu ray option, finally got it on the harddrive, went to burn using a dvd5 disc, (used Movie only), was rejected, stating I needed a dual blu ray disc. I'm obviously doing something wrong, when I opened the downloaded file I was completly lost with the options I was given, as oppossed to a Dvd file that just has the audio/video option. I would greatly appeciate any help. T.I.A.

Try muxing to m2ts instead of ts, then run through ripbot.

Hi guys, its been a long time! I have been burning Blu Ray with Ryu's original BD to DVD-9 guide for quite some time now but lately I have had some issues with downloaded HD content.
The content in question comes in a .MKV container. I making the HD content into a Blu Ray compatiable DVD-9 just like the guide says. I follow the normal steps of the guide, but after I encode the video it stutters for some reason. The stutter looks like someone is clicking play / pause every 0.5 seconds. This is not happening with all the MKV. content I work with, just some of it. I have looked through the Media Raw info to see what differences in the source material might be holding me up but I cannot see anything that *should* be causing this problem. Here is the Media Raw info from the source material:

Re-encoding it would make the new video completely playable... unless there is something wrong with the source file.

Unfortunately that is not how it is working for me. The source file plays perfectly but after re-encoding the video develops the stutter I wrote about.

My computer configuration is very very old, and the running speed was slow since I installed the video converter program. Now I need a new converter or converter service. Is there anybody who can recommond a good on-line video converter to me? which can transfer mpg to flv?
Don't want to install a program any more.

Hi, I don't know what I'm doing. But I'm trying. All the terminology is difficult to understand.
My goal: To take my Blue-Ray Movie and tv-show collection and make it into a more manageable format, lop off trailers, and yet still keep the same very high quality. I'd like for the resulting file to be compatible with PCs, xbox-360, and ps3 if at all possible. If I have to use 4 different programs to achieve that goal, and each of those take 5 hours to run, then I'll never get the job done. I'll settle with a quick TSMuxer that only works on PCs.
So that's where I started. I used ANYDVD HD to "rip to Hard drive." The resulting file works great, and the trailers are gone.
But I have a pile of folders. AnyDVD HD will "rip to ISO" but nothing can play ISO ...
So I fire up TSMUxer and I've read to go to the .0000 mts file. When I do that, I only get audio on a trailer that does not play when I load this media into TotalSoft Mediaplayer 3. Odd. Why was that file created in the first place?
So then I try to rip the largest .mts and I get a 784 megabyte file that does not play.
So, as I said at first, I really don't know what I'm doing. But I'm trying at least :)

Hello everyone...
I know I mentioned that I would get around to creating new Blu-ray and AVCHD (BD5/BD9) profiles that are compatible with the newer x264 builds.
Well, I have finally found time to do it. So here they are...
I have uploaded MeGUI v0.3.1.1060 with all plug-ins and profiles as a complete package. Please don't forget to go into the settings to set-up the directories that you wish to use on your PC. Especially the x264 log/stats file.
http://www.mediafire.com/?nuamzhgwjn1
The exiting news is that the new x264 build incorporates a new option called "MB-tree". It's all quite technical how it works but put simply it can increase compression efficiency by up to 70%!!

Holy Crap!!! 70%! Thanks. How do they compare to your old profiles in regards to encoding time?

Does anyone know of a program or a process using multiple programs that will allow me to either rip only certain chapters from a Blu-Ray or that will automatically split into separate files for each chapter. I know chapter information is not stored in the m2ts file.
DVDFab6 doesn't allow you to select chapters or even start end times.
Pavtub/Moyea Blu-Ray Ripper is suppose to have the feature but it doesn't work on my Vista (64-bit) for some reason. Not sure if the current release is just broken or it has something to do with my PC. The interface looks pixelated, not sharp/smooth and when the View Log window pops-up there is no way to close it. It's like the interfact isn't working right. Bizarre.
HDConcertRipper correctly shows all the chapters within the main movie file. It is just a gui for eac3to though and only rips the audio track.
Fount a program over at Doom9 called bdsplice but it appears it takes separate chapters and splices them into one file, not separate chapter files.
Help!

About the same...
One thing you will notice is the new stats file that can grow quite large. I just completed an encode and the MB tree log file was 1.9GB.

Thanks for the heads up. How much testing was put into your new profiles? Is the quality equal, or better? Are you in need of feedback?

Hey Ryu77, can you please explain the x264 log/stats file and how to set its directory? I'm going to run your HQ profile on a 28GB movie. I'm excited to see how much more compression I can get!

With Ryu77's profile select in the dropdown box, press the "Config" button right next to the profile selection box. In this screen you can change the directory of the Log file, place it where ever you want... I have mine in the MeGUI folder. Just navigate to the folder you wish to have the log file, use the "..." button, now where it says "File Name" type .stats
That's it. You'll need to do this the first time you use a different profile.

I have only done one encode in full but I had to start a number of partial encodes to correctly set up the new x264 build and remain Blu-ray compliant.
The quality looks slightly better but I was working with material that had a fair bit of film grain. It seemed to be able to retain a lot of that without the need for smoothing which can sometimes result from too much compression.
I have raised the maximum peak bitrate to 24mbs (24,000kbs) which technically is AVCHD spec only for SD cards. However most of the current lineup of Blu-ray players can handle this without any issue. If anyone has an older model, it might help to reduce this down to 17,000kbs.
Any feedback is always welcome.

You do realise that depending on the bitrate you allocate, the filesize will be the same. By more efficient compression I mean that you will gain an improved SSIM index, in other words quality will improve at the same bitrate compared to the older x264 encoder.
