THANKS! Yeah the guy who made Ripbot gave a really cool gift to everyone!!
Sweet rig on the computer!
I split if I have file sizes over 4GB, that's been the norm for me as most MKV files I've found worked perfect without needing any work. It's only been about 3 that I've needed to encode.

Here's to a great 2009 for everyone!!!!!
You don't use DL discs? I wouldn't split anything unless it's well over 8.4GB (DL).
One feature RipBot is missing is that although we can adjust the resolution, we cannot adjust the audio.
I downloaded some Pixar short films the other day. There were like 12. But some of them had different video and audio formats so I couldn't merge them into one .mkv, tsmuxer them and burn with ImgBurn.
So I used Ripbot to fix the video only. I then used mkvmerge GUI to demux the audio from it. Then I had to use BeSweet to convert from 192Kbps audio to 640Kbps (which is what the rest were). Once I did that I was able to merge them all back together with mkvmerge and continue with RipBot to convert to blueray/avchd and burned with Imgburn. A bit complicated but it was rather easy. I didn't even use any guides.

Thanks, i will try it next time i use ripbot. I have a old slow cpu and it takes a long time to process a movie. which brings up my next questions.
When I converted a movie that was xxx by 544, ripbot blew it up and sent it past the limits/settings(16:9) of my screen. is there a setting that keeps the native picture ratio?
Also, is there a way to put multiple videos on one avchd. maybe by renaming the folders BDMV1 and certificate1?
thanks for the help, again my computer is slow, so any help from peoples previous trial and error is greatly appreciated.

If the file orginally is a mkv are you recoding to mkv??? I want to just put it on a dvd-r after wards and rip with nero... so should i just reencode to a mp4?? thanks

The preset for 720p solution is great. I have the same BluRay player as you so I tried my first AVCHD encode with that enabled. Worked perfectly. I never had the double image problem because I never encoded to Bluray/AVCHD before. Using RipBot was my 1st time and I'm glad I did some research on how to do it first. Your response helped me avoid finding it out the hard way.
As for the steps you just outlined...I think it was step#4, splitting the files to 3GB. Why? I just don't see the point, unless you're trying to get rid of too many blank dvd's. The resulting mkv or bluray is much less than 4GB already (source .mkv was 4.4GB...after RipBot, it was about 2.2GB, and after tsmuxer it was still about 2.2GB). By the way, RipBot on my pc takes only about 1.5-2hrs but that's probably because I have a Q6600 and RAID-0.
My point is, I'm happy to have a working AVCHD disc playable on my Sony by simply:
1) Re-encode my original .mkv to 720p using the preset in RipBot.
2) Use tsmuxer
3) Use ImgBurn or Nero to burn on a blank DVD
It's much simpler this way and quality is excellent. Of course, I've only done 1 movie using this method (doing a 2nd one now in the background) and I'm confident this'll work fine for future attempts. I've yet to do a 1080p but unfortunately too many movies are being released as 720p. I am getting a 1080p next so I'll be using the 1080p preset in RipBot for that.
