I would suggest using EAC3to along with EAC3toGUI (or EAC3to and More GUI) to extract the core from the Master Audio track.
Okay thxs thats what i wanted to know..Also i have used EAC3 & EAC3toGUI to get DTS core but i was testing out DTS-Mater audio.

Yes the DTS-Master audio was 3.70GB....I didn't really care for the video stream because it was a MPEG-2 codec(Predator-BD).

That's fine. However, you could always re-encode the MPEG2 video stream to h264 if you desired. If you are converting an original Blu-ray disc, then it will be around the 20GB+ mark for the video stream. If your target is a DVD-9, then you will need to allocate about 6.5GB to the video so quite a lot of compression will be required. h264 would be the best choice of codec to mimimise quality loss.

Has anybody come across this issue. The last few AVCHD discs I have made take a relatively long time to make the transition to the second layer on a DVD9, roughly 5 seconds or so.

I need some help. Has anyone received the following error message when they tried to use megui? When I try to load the file I receive this error message. Did I install something incorrectly?


AVISYNCH Script error:

DirectShow Source: Render file, the filter graph manager won't talk to me.

It sounds like you haven't got the right direct show filters installed. AVIsynth is trying to frameserve your Matroska (mkv) file via drawing on direct show codecs to decode the video stream and then passing it onto MeGUI for re-encoding.

I would suggest installing FFDshow & Haali media splitter.

I already installed FFDshow and it still is giving me the same message. Let me try the Haali media splitter and see if that works. I'll report back once I've tried it. Thanks.

That is the directory that I use for MeGUI. You will need to go into the configuration and change the location of the log file to where yours is.

Where do I change the config? Is that under the settings tab? The reason I ask is under the settings tab the location looks correct under my c drive folder.

Can anybody help?

I've just converted an MKV file to AVCHD via TSMuxer but when the movie is played on the PS3 the resolution changes to 480p and there is a thick green horizontal bar taking up a 3rd of the screen at the bottom.

I did convert the audio from DTS to AC3 and lower the bitrate of the audio however, but that couldn't be the problem surely???

Harrysc, this problem has been covered many times on this thread already.

The reason you are getting the green bar is because a Blu-ray/AVCHD disc must have standard HD resolutions (1280 x 720 or 1920 x 1080). If you attempt to author a disc with a lower resolution, you will get a green bar filling in the rest of the lines.

You have two options...

1) Output M2TS media file instead. Just be aware that you can not use DTS audio when exporting M2TS media files.

2) Re-encode the video stream and add the black borders to fill in the rest of the lines so you can output Blu-ray disc structure with tsMuxeR.

What's the easiest way of adding boarders? And when re-encoding to add these boarders, do you get a loss of visual quality in doing so?

Thanks.

Try keeping it in the m2ts container.

Edit: I just started a straight BD rip with VC-1 codec in the m2ts container with MeGUI/AviSynth, no problems. If you get the problem again please post here so we can help. Copy/paste from the Log tab in MeGUI.

Sorry i didn't make myself clear.I have this problem with the raw video file after i have used tsMuxeR to split the video & sound.I'm trying to find a way to load the video into Megui so i can encode the video only.

If you load the complete m2ts file (video & audio) it will encode just the video.

Thxs.......Odin24 i made a mistake(i was tired) when i encoded my video with megui i selected Mpeg4 for output & not RAWAVC.TsMuxerGUI will not let me load the Mpeg4 file is there i could change this Mpeg4 to RawAVC? Or is there still a option to burn this to BD output.

You need to select RAWAVC, then tsMuxeR will perform the Blu-Ray out put conversion for you.

However, your encoded video should still have the h264 codec which still can be used.

Use a program called YAMB to extract the raw h264 file. If you cannot figure that out or if you have problems use mkvmerge... which does take mp4 files and remux your mp4 to mkv... then tsMuxeR will load your mkv.

Great guide Ryu! Odin's post have also been very helpful.

I had a question about what device/software are people using to playback these encoded BD discs? I have an intel quad core PC and am not able to play these back in PowerDVD 7.3 without slight stutters. Is the codecs in PowerDVD 7.3 not able to decode these smoothly? I'm using Ryu's Bluray profile.

It's smooth when I output to .TS file and play back with Classic Media Player.

Thanks in advance!

M2TS is for PS3 and Blu-Ray compatibility, however I use m2ts and media player classic without problems. I also have FFDShow decoding and CCCP codec pack.

Do you playback on the PS3 or BD player or just your PC? If it's just your PC you do not need to recode.

I need a little help!

I'm following this procedure to make an AVCHD disc:

1. Rip Blu-ray to HD
2. Using tsMuxer select desire streams (video, audio, subtitles) to m2ts file.
3. re-encode to 1280X720 mkv with Ripboot264
4. Remux this mkv video with original audio and subtitles (from original m2ts) to blu-ray using tsMuxer.
5. Burn to disc with nero burning rom

The result is great, BUT:

-Subtitles are displayed 3 times (ghosting image) in nero show time or
-not subtitles at all when I play the disc in the PS3

Is the problem related to the original resolution of the subtitles?

thanks!

Are you using the .PGS stream that was with the original Blu-Ray movie, if so it was meant for a 1920x1080p image. Use SUPread and convert to .srt format. SUPread and abc.png can be found at the beginning of this thread. Make sure the SUPread and abc.png are in the same folder before you open the Blu-Ray .pgs subtitle stream, SUPread needs this file to convert to .srt.
or
-not subtitles at all when I play the disc in the PS3
If you made your movie in the Blu-Ray Structure they should be there, however they do not play automatically. Press the triangle button, locate the subtitle option and press X.

Is the problem related to the original resolution of the subtitles?

thanks!
See my comments above. If you are using dual layer DVDs I highly recommend keeping the resolution 1920x1080p. Playback on the PS3 is fine.
