Hi, i've got a backup of The Matrix in x264 format, i'm using tsmuxer 1.8.4.
1.When i load the x264 file into tsmuxer IT SHOWS THE PROFILE AS high 5.1 @ 1920:800p, i then change this to 4.1 then select M2TS muxing then i click START MUXING, once file is finished i copy over to my portable hdd and then connect to my PS3.
The PS3 can see the file, when i press play i get blank screen but can hear the sound in dolby digital 5.1!
I've got other backups of movies and they play fine,the only difference in this one is that it's from a HD DVD source, should this make a difference!? Or does anyone know how i can get it to work??
Thanks for the info, but what exactly do i need to do with the programme to re-encode the file!!??
I did have a look at the link, but i'm still not sure, as the file i have is in mkv format, the guide seems to tell you how to get to this format from the original bly ray hd dvd format!
Well, you'll have to use MeGUI to recode the video to some generic h264 stream. Since MeGUI uses AviSynth, I believe you'll also have to create an AviSynth script.
Truthfully, I'm not sure what the real process is, but I have a strong inclination that it's as simple as writing an Avisynth script in Wordpad:
DirectShowSource("C:/...path.../file.mkv")
...saving it with an .avs extension, and loading it up in MeGUI. Then you can choose whatever encoding profile you want (an x264 profile, of course) and start recoding the movie.
Once you've recoded the video, you can use tsMuxer to mux the video and audio (and subs, if you have .srt or .sup subs) together into a Blu Ray-compliant stream with no further issues.
Additionally, before recoding, you can set the bitrate so that the filesize is roughly the same as before, which would keep the quality the same. In MeGUI, I believe there's an Options tab, and under that there should be a Bitrate Calculator you can use.
...I hope that helps. If you've got any more questions, feel free to ask.
