Or, I think the latest version of MeGUI does take raw sources as input, but the first line of your script must be;
RawSource (instead of DirectShowSource)
Personally, I would go with my first suggestion.
I tried the first method like you suggested and now the duration is about 2x the original. The 2nd method does not work for me at all: MeGUI returns AviSynth script error "no function named Rawsource"
Is it possible that PowerDVD's h264 decoder is interfering somehow? Because when I play the 264 file and the original m2ts, PowerDVD's info shows the same duration as I would get with MeGUI (the playback does end before the progress indicator reaches 100%). I'm using PowerDVD 7 Ultra.
EDIT: So I uninstalled PowerDVD and installed ffdshow r2137. Now WMP is unable to play h264 video, and though I have the correct duration in MeGUI I don't have the preview video.
PowerDVD is a piece of junk in my opinion. I used it for a while when I bought my burner... I was getting the same thing as you, I got tired of it, now it's uninstalled.
Use the DirectShowSource with the m2ts, make sure you keep FFDshow, Haali Media spiltter, and CCCP installed. Also, if the duration is kinda (or very much) off, just let the recode go and see what happens. Is it possible you were looking at time remaining rather than duration?

Thanks Odin, Haali seems to be the missing piece of the puzzle. Now I get the correct duration and video preview. I'm doing a test run right now, and everything looks good so far.

Hey, guys!
This is my first time posting on this forum and it's a little different from the kinds of forums I frequently post on, so bear with my ignorance.
I have been encoding DVDs for many years- not just using Shrink-type programs, but using CinemaCraft, etc., so I am vaguely familiar with some of these processes, but I am new to a lot of it and, especially, with high-definition files. And my point is...?
Well, I've followed both of the threads listed in Ryu77's signature very closely and have completed my first project- putting an episode of everyone's favorite sci-fi saga onto a DVD-9 as a Blu-ray disc. What is significant about this is not that it's some unprecedented accomplishment, but that I documented my steps in reasonable detail. Here's what I've done:
I put together all of the software from the start of the conversion thread, plus a couple of other pieces I had, into a small software package. Then, I created a sort of "guide manual" in PDF format and threw it in, too. This guide only covers converting HD streams to DVD-sized files compatible with a stand-alone Blu-ray player, such as a Sony PS3, which is my specific interest. Still, I know that many readers of this thread are interested in the same thing, so I thought I'd share it with you guys.
Here's my goal at the moment: Can some of you guys with more experience, such as Ryu77, Odin24, or others, please download my guide and glance over it for glaring errors? I'd really hate to share bad information and throw these threads back. My little software package is in two pieces to facilitate the size limit for free hosting at MediaFire. (Link at bottom of this post) Since many of you already have the software you need, just download the first segment- the manual is in there.
Again, please critique the instructions. I don't want bad information getting out there. I know it's not all bad, as my project was successful, but some of the information didn't apply to me and I put it in there based upon what I'd read at these threads.
Thanks for all your help and time, guys! Cheers!

The Blu-ray standard only supports 1280x720p OR 1920x1080p resolutions. Since your video plays, you have properly resized to one of these, but the source video had the letterbox borders removed. Use a calculator and this simple formula to determine your borders:
Target Width ÷ Source Width x Source Height - Target Height ÷ 2 = Border Size (Top and Bottom)
Round this number up to the nearest even whole number. For example, if your source video is 1600x752, your target will be 1920x1080 and the calculation would look like this:
1920 ÷ 1600 x 752 - 1080 ÷ 2 = -88.8 is rounded off to -90.
This means your source video is short by 90 lines on the top and 90 lines on the bottom. It's actually short by 89 lines each, but even numbers tend to work out better when encoding, and non-integer numbers, like 88.8, won't even be accepted.
I hope this is clear enough and answers you question. In answer to your next question- yes... you will have to re-encode.

Ok so here's my problem.
I ripped a br movie with AnyDvdHd and in the stream folder there's a 30GB .m2ts file and a lot more files (with dvd extras and such).
I just want the main movie. When I play the big file in WMP there's a voice over the audio (probably for the hearing impaired) and I cannot turn it off.
Also, I've seen torrents with 1080p Wmv movies under 10G how can i compress/convert a br movie to wmv?
Thanks in advance

Blu-ray Conversion Tool Kit
I just had a chance to take a look at your Kit and Guide. My initial impressions were quite positive. I think you've done a great job. I have found a couple things to improve it though. :-)
It's getting late here in Sydney so I am only going to have a quick look into it and I will post in more detail over the next few days. Before I begin, I want to offer my sincere appreciation for putting in the time to do what I could never find the time to do.
Ok...
- The MeGUI kit included in your download package is quite old now. Also, most of the included encoders, applications are likely quite outdated too. I noticed that my profile is an older version and it has also been refined since I posted that package.
- You mentioned Codec means coder‐decoders, I believe it is compressor/decompressor. I know I am being pedantic but by the look of your guide I get the feeling that you are also of a similar nature and like things done 100% correctly.
- I know Odin24 likes the CCCP Codec Pack but I believe that K-lite Mega Codec Pack contains everything you should need as it is primarily based on FFDShow and Haali, which are great tools in their own right. I have never needed anything other than K-lite Mega Codec Pack for my Direct Show Filter needs.

It's not actually as simple as repeating a frame. 3:2 Pulldown means that there will be 3 progressive frames followed by 2 interlaced frames which will extend the FPS to match the desired 60Hz NTSC Refresh Rate.
Originally posted by From Str8Pryd's Guide:

It should actually be termed inverse 3:2 pulldown as we would actually be reversing the 3:2 pulldown processing.
I think I will go to bed now. There is a lot to look through in your fantastic guide so I will pick it up again tomorrow. As a team we can make this already great guide, even better! :-D
I will also upload the most recent MeGUI package tomorrow including my Blu-ray profile that has been refined slightly.

Thank you for the compliments and, please, take your time. Like you, I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to this guide and repeated edits would only take yet more time.

You are most welcome! Your contributions made all of this possible, so I'm trying to do my part to repay your efforts. You seem like a real team player and I support that notion.

You are 100% correct that I would like this to be 100% correct. :-D I read on Wikipedia that "codec" could be considered any of a number of things, primarily your definition and the one I used. Wikipedia, being user-contribution based, is, by no means, an authoritative source. Further research on my part confirms that, while there is no "standard" definition, your suggestion is more commonly accepted. I will certainly yield to the "accepted standard" and modify the term accordingly.

This is good to confirm. I always used K-lite, myself, but "added" CCCP to it, as Odin24 has more experience in this than I. I did notice, however, that while no change in abilities were achieved, the thumbnail generation functionality now causes Windows Explorer to crash frequently. I think I'll remove/restore my codec packages and modify the manual/kit in the same way.

I agree that I should change my phrasing to reduce misunderstandings. I do, however, want to "oversimplify" it, as the guide is geared to those with no tangible experience. While I don't need to explain certain details, I certainly don't want to mislead, either. I will consider how to rephrase this portion to reflect this.

Right you are! A glaring error on my part! Wow, I'm glad you're taking the time to help me out with this!
Originally posted by Ryu77:

Again, this is all highly appreciated. I believe we have a common goal here, as neither of is motivated by anything other than the satisfaction of sharing our experience. Neither of us would know what we know were it not for others who did the same, so let's do our part.

@ Ryu77 & Str8Pryd
Holy cow Ryu77, it's been a while, glad to see you're back on. We'll, looks like school's in and this thread will continue flourish... plus another knowledgable person, even better.
I look forward to what's to come.
P.S. I think I'll give K-Lite a try.

Maybe, you could phrase it like this... "The majority of movies produced in the United States for the Cinema are originally recorded at 24 FPS. These films are then usually modified for television or DVD. For North America and Japan, a telecine process termed 3:2 pulldown is added to extend the framerate to 29.98 FPS. This makes the video suitable to be viewed on a 60Hz NTSC Television"
It's completely up to you as that's just a suggestion. :-)

I think I'll do that. As I said before, I don't intend to explain every detail, but what I do explain must be correct. Misinformation is difficult, if even possible, to correct.
Again, thanks for your continuing help in all of this. It's good to see you and odin24 checking in. Once we get a few things updated and hammered out, how do you feel about starting a new thread dedicated strictly to the project I'm addressing, i.e. converting HD video to stand-alone BD-5/BD-9 discs? Just a thought, since this thread is getting so long that people are beginning to ask old questions for the tenth time...

Well, I've made the changes we've discussed to my guide manual, but I have yet to actually post the revisions. I have, however, replaced tsMuxeR and MeGUI in the software package with the updated versions. The link at the bottom of this post has been updated accordingly.
Note to Ryu77: I hope you don't mind, but I slightly modified the MeGUI folder you uploaded. I changed all of the file path pointers to the C: drive. I also modified your profile to save the log to the MeGUI logfile location on the C: drive, also.
As you may have guessed, that is simply because all Windows-based machines (at least in the U.S.) must have a C: drive, but many people may not have a D: drive, as MeGUI was configured. My primary PC has five hard drives- C through F, plus X (external), but my other one has three hard drives, C, F, & G, whereas D & E are my optical drives. I thought the adjustment would be more universal.
I also hope you can forgive my use of American English in the guide manual. I don't think someone of your obvious intelligence will have any trouble understanding that utilize=utilise, color=colour, etc. :D
Note to odin24: Thank you for the compliment, but knowledgeable might be a bit of a stretch... :) Your input is more than welcome, as well!

The Blu-ray Conversion Kit has been updated:
1. The new version of tsMuxer is included.
2. The new version of MeGUI is included.
3. The new Ryu77 Blu-ray Profile is included.
4. The new x264 Encoder is included.
5. The guide manual has been updated as discussed in previous threads. It is now also a separate file so that it can be downloaded without the software package for those who already have the software or just want to look into the guide. The images in the manual are from previous software versions, but the premise is the same.
Note that by "new version", I am referring to the newest versions which are compatible with the processes described in this thread and in the guide manual. Newer releases may be available in some areas, but are not necessarily a good idea to have...
As before, input is appreciated. Cheers!

Ryu77, could you please add the link to the AVCHD-ME download to the beginning of this thread, I do consider it to be a valuable tool in the recoding process. I mainly use it to verify subtitle position, I also use it to watch full length features sometimes.
I can't count how many times I have referred people to it as well, and I never remember where it is.

Hello everybody,
First I would like to congratulate everybody about the great work you are doing in this thread!
I hope you could help me. I think my problem is simple for you.
I want to gain space on my HDD converting a video file (H264) from 28 GB to 22 GB (keeping H.264 codec) and burn it on BD-25.
H264 movie file :
Size on HDD : app. 28 GB
resolution 1920*1080p
Duration 2h11min.
I just want to :
- Keep x.264 codec (to be able to use the video on Blue-ray)
- downsize to 22 GB
If I well understood :
- Using Avisynth and megui, I can change the bitrate, keep the resolution. I've got a file of 22GB BUT the quality result was not so good... I would say average+ (I have a 55" TV and I see the difference). And in comparison to the time the computer spent on this (23h) it is not interesting...
So I am thinking on decreasing the resolution to 1280x720p (My TV is 55" but HD ready only).
So my question is what is the simpliest way to get 23 GB and 1280x720p:
I'm thinking about 3 methods :
1- TOTAL REENCODING : Usual method, using as before Avisynth and megui... and re-encode entirely the video... I'm asking that because I already have a H264 file and I want to keep the same codec, do I need to totally re-encode?
2- JUST ADJUST BITRATE AND DECREASE RESOLUTION OF H264
Is there a way, and maybe some options on Megui or other software to do that without the whole re-encoding (24 hours +) knowing that I use the same codec in destination file? Something that will take maximum 10hours...
N.B : If I well understood the only way to decrease the file size is changing the bitrate (for example from 30000 Kbps to 20000 Kbps) and changing the resolution only will not reduce the file size...
3- MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER MORE EFFECTIVE CODEC THAN H.264 AT 1280x720p.
For example VC-1. I do not know it very well... It was used in HDDVD format, and as this format had less disk space, I think that maybe there is an unknown (for me) opportunity here... AND compatible with Blue-ray.
So the final question is :
Which do you think is the best option?
Maybe there is a way to do I do not mentioned?
Thank you in advance for your help !!!

Hi all,
I'm french so i'll do my best to be clear. :)
First I have taken the new bluray conversion kit and the guide manual and i must tell it's a best guide i ever read!! Thanks a lot!!
BUT
yes i have follow the guide and when i input my video vc-1 in megui the software freeze...:( (Or it's very very very long...).
So the question is : is it possible to import video vc-1 in megui???(For history i have demux a hd dvd with tsmuxer and check pulldown to convert 29 to 24 fps).
Thanks a lot for you help and if someone have already do this kind of job ( vc-1 from HDDVD to h264 for burn in a bluray) he can says how he does.
See you

Can someone please help me? I restored my computer back a week. I then uninstalled and reinstalled MEGUI 0.3.0.3002 on my computer. The program is working however I can not get Ryu77 back as a selection to use again. Does anyone know how to import the profile? Thank you.

If you need the profile, click here to download it from Ryu77. Once you have it, just put it in the appropriate folder, which is D:\Program Files\MeGUI v0.3.0.3001\allprofiles\x264. Note that Ryu77's profile is configured to use a D: drive. If you don't have a D: drive, or don't want to use it for program files, you'll have to modify the file.
If you really want to make it simple, you can download Part 1 of my collective software package by clicking here. Find the MeGUI folder and simply drop it into your C:\Program Files folder. Everything will be already configured with the latest MeGUI, latest x264, and latest Ryu77 profile all in place. This would result in you downloading other components that you may already have, but MeGUI is the bulk of the download, anyway. Just an option for simplicity's sake...

I can't count how many times I have referred people to it as well, and I never remember where it is.

Thanks man.
How bizarre....
I was just thinking the same thing as I didn't realise that I hadn't posted a link for AVCHD-Me yet, so I thought I better do it, then I see your post... :-)
I have also updated the front page to include Str8Pryd's Conversion Kit & Guide.
I have also removed Blu-ray disc ripper and posted a link to AnyDVD-HD instead as I feel that this is a far more superior application.
PS: @Str8Pryd, I still need to take more time to look into your guide in finer detail. I have been busy as always. Please excuse me for that. I will try to get onto it as soon as I can.

I agree, when AnyDVD can decrypt the disc. Sometimes I am stuck for about a week waiting for an update, this sucks when I rent a movie and it is due the next day. So finally I got fed up and actually learned how to use aacskeys and Blu-ray disc ripper. I applied a patch (from Doom9) to my BD drive's firmware that allow's me to skip the dumpvid step and go straight to the aacskey step... it's too easy. aacskeys can now decrypt up to MKBv8 (or 9).

That would be me. I will be happy to try and answer any questions you may have, but keep in mind that I don't know all that much about this. I simply compiled some information I've read in this thread that was specific to Blu-ray discs, my personal interest.

Thank you for your confidence in my instructing abilities. Take your time reviewing the guide; we're all busy people, here. I am honored that you consider it worth your valuable time to even look at it at all. Please note that I have separated it from the software on the download to simplify updating. I have also added a date to the file name to indicate when it was updated so that people can tell whether or not it is something they already have.
Ryu77, I know this is your thread, but you might also consider adding a link to DVDFab HD Decrypter on the front page. It's the "ripper only" portion of DVDFab, is updated regularly, and is free. It is very similar to AnyDVD-HD and, although it can't be used as a background driver, it can, occasionally, decrypt what AnyDVD cannot. Just a thought in keeping with the freeware approach; I, personally, have AnyDVD-HD and use it.

Do tell! Glad to see you still checking in around here, odin24! I don't know how much I would use this knowledge, but if you get opportunity, I would consider it a privilege to learn a thing or two about this process. I could even add it to the guide, if it's relatively straightforward. I am taking the "Blu-ray for Dummies" approach with the guide; too much detailed information would beget a manual too large for me to maintain, if you know what I mean.
BTW, if you have AnyDVD-HD, you can access the beta versions from the forum section of the SlySoft website. This often fixes the AACS keys for new releases and is updated all day, every day, or so it seems.

Yeah, it's all command based and involves patching your BD drive's firmware, not really recommended for for the beginner/novice PC user. If you like I could put something together that could help, but aquiring the information needed to decrypt the BD is performed in DOS... once you actually understand it's quite easy.

Yup, I have access to all of the beta versions too.
