Sorry not to make myself clear; failed at LAST attempt with DTS-MA using the IDENTICAL Panny camcorder AVCHD structure.
At this point, I am not sure that the structure is as critical as is the 'format' the video must be in. IF you have troubles with the structure, insert your card into a Panny camcorder and shoot some footage; go home and analyze!
Please do keep me informed on your progress; I appreciate the combined effort.
I too will try an AC3 5.1 tomorrow.
I just read a few more threads at AVSForum and a few gentlemen have tried the same thing, actually, putting HDV(1080x1440 mpeg2) as the video stream and they too were unsuccessful!
Also, I did try my stick into a Panny plasma, and same thing, got the jpeg screen. Again, I honestly think that we are dealing with AVCHD standards ONLY, Panny structure as well.
...two final questions, for now. I have an HDV cam, mpeg2 1080x1440. Using your methods, I created a BD-5(keeping the mpeg-2 stream intact, NO recoding, but using MeGUI to recode the audio to AC3, and remuxing with Tsmuxer, see, I am learning fast!) and it plays phenomenally well in the Panny 35! In the SOny 350/550 it will play but with a stutter every 5 seconds or so! TOO BAD!! Any ideas why this may be and a possible fix!? I say this because after the SD slot failure, I am leaning towards the Sony.
The other reason I am leaning Sony is that when playing BD-5 and BD-9 on Panny, done 'your way' as per the guide, AVC with AC3, the Sony plays them very smoothly, the way it should be, but the Panny seems to have a slight jerkiness/strobe to the video. I am not sure why. Again, any advice/suggestions are appreciated! I have yet to test the 55 because the boys at Future Shop are too busy scoping the chicks and have yet to put it on display. Upon finishing testing with the 55, I will post all my findings, most of which I have mentioned already.
Sorry for the length. I am just trying to achieve 'universal' BD-5/9 playback before I purchase; that would really be fantastic!

How is this file converted to a AVCHD? I have already converted .mkv to AVCHD with subtitles successfully.
You probably know that Tsmuxer doesn't support .wmw files :o)
I also want to put .srt subtitles on it.
Thanks in advance!

Just wanted to thank you Odin24, it worked like a charm after i appended them before encoding instead of after.

OK, for those interested, here are my observations so far, in terms of compatibility.
I am interested in the SOny 550 and the Panny 55. However, I test only the 550 as the 55 is not out yet here. I also tested the SOny 350(which behaved IDENTICAL to the 550 in compatibility) and the Panny 35(which will likely mimic the 55s capability). I also did a few tests on the Panny 30.
1)Entire BR disc movie/extras/menu/etc burnt EXACTLY to a BD-RE, 25GB, NO recoding. Played flawlessly in ALL these players.
2)BD-5, on a +RW, AVC encode with DTS-MA; ALL these units play it back, BUT the Pannys have an unnatural motion to them; slightly strobe-like/slight stuttering. I am not sure why. The Sonys were smooth, no issues at all. The audio played fine on all.
3)BD-9, on a DL +R(AVC+AC3 5.1)-results identical to BD-5 findings.
4)BD-5 of HDV footage, audio converted to AC3, video untouched-all players play them, but ONLY the Pannys play it smoothly. The Sonys play, but after 5-10 seconds, begun hiccupping, and the hiccups go on every 3-4 seconds, rendering it unwatchable!
5)raw m2ts streams, 1080x1920 and other variants-will NOT play on any unit!
6)Xvid-HD+AC3 in avi format-will NOT play on any of them.
7)SD card slot-could not achieve "BD-5/9" playback REGARDLESS of what I tried, even proper video format and proper structure; ONLY achieved success when using a Panny camcorder and sticking the SD card in right after using the camcorder!
I have read on some posts that some Samsung units also 'play back' BD-5 and BD-9. I did NOT investigate these units, as they do not decode all HD audio codecs.
I would LOVE to hear some more input, ESPECIALLY if anyone has had success in these areas:
1)Achieving PROPER playback of BD-5/BD-9 in the Panny units; it is one thing to playback, but another to playback PROPERLY with fluid/natural/realistic motion.
2)Achieving PROPER, stutter-free HDV BD-5/9 playback in the SOnys.
3)Achieving success in the SD slot of the Pannys.
Thanks in advance!

1) What TV are you using? Is it capable of 24p playback? If so, have you set the Panasonic Blu-ray player and TV (24Hz) to play at its native framerate of 24fps?
2) Can't comment, don't have a Handy Cam.
3) Have you tried using the AVCHD-Me application? If not, there is a download link on the first page of this thread.
From what I understand, Blu-ray is more relaxed compared to AVCHD when it comes to character lengths in filenames. AVCHD-Me rectifies this.
Note: Please excuse me stating the obvious step but I have read back over your posts and I can see that you have been quite thorough in your attempts to play AVCHD via the SD card slot... But... I didn't see (could have been missed) you clearly state that you used the AVCHD-Me application the recommended way (1- Run the applcation from the root directory of your BD. 2- Place BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders into a new folder named AVCHD).
PS: Odin, which AV Receiver did you get? I noticed you mentioned that you recently purchased one that has TrueHD/DTS-HD decoding. I'm thinking of getting a Pioneer VSX-LX70. As I work in AV Retail, I have had months worth of opportunity to compare this receiver quite thoroughly against an array of other receivers with a bombardment of various media and it is the one that seems to stand out (plus I can get a really hot price directly from the Rep).

Don't laugh... Sony STRDE820. For my current set-up, budget and other components it fits well, plus it's a huge difference over my old receiver. I'm actually renting older movies that I have already processed :)

Ryu77,
Thank you for taking an interest in my post.
1)Yes, I did use AVCHD Me; it converts the BR files to caps and only 8 letters long; it TOO did not help. I am truly at a road block with this SD slot! Odin24 was going to try it himself and I wonder if he had any success.
2)I burnt the same HDV BR footage onto a BD-RE 25 and tried it in the SOny and YES, lo and behold, NO stutter! The only conclusion I can draw from this is that perhaps when a DVD goes into the Sony, the drive will only spin at a rate to accommodate AVCHD spec, which I believe is somewhere around 20 Mbps; the HDV is 25 Mbps. So, it does not spin fast enough to accommodate the HDV bit rate and there is stutter; IF you pause it for a few seconds and retry, it helps, as the stutter takes longer to show up, but it still will eventually.
BUT, BR spec can accommodate WAY higher bitrates than HDV, and so it played that HDV BR flawlessly. SO, conclusion, those who want to make BDs of their HDV footage and play in the SOnys, they can, but they must burn to BR discs! Ok, I got one issue solved!
3)The Panny units' stutter is strange; Ryu, it could be frame related; I thought of that(incidentally I tried the same disc on a Magnovox unit that I believe has the Panny chip in it, Uniphier, and it played FINE!). ALL the TVs that the Pannys were hooked up to are 60Hz I believe; none could accommodate 24fps in terms of displaying it in 24fps multiples. TO my knowledge only the Kuros could up to now, and just recently SOny and perhaps a few others are getting on board. That being said, the Sony BR units were also NOT attached to Kuro and yet looked smooth; it could very well be that the Pannys need some settings altered; but, a 24fps BR looked fine in the Panny with NO stutter, yet the burnt AVC discs with your encoder with 24fps DID stutter! This makes me nervous...I want a player that plays BD-5 and BD-9 properly. This unnatural motion, mated to the unsolved SD slot, and now the fact that the Sony CAN do HDV, has made my mind up to get the Sony 550...I would like to close the book on the Panny issues, yet, would love to see a resolution too!
3)I mentioned previously that during a certain scene(when Linguine is sitting with Remy on the bridge in a jar and releases him), regardless of what XVID bit rate I used, I could not rid of banding. I tried this same scene with Ryu77's encoder, and sadly, with both a 6,000 bit rate and a 10,000 bit rate, the same banding is still there! The original scene on the BR is FREE of banding. Any suggestions? Or better yet, has anyone been able to achieve a banding-free encode of this scene!?
4)I too tried to re-insert a 're-encoded' video stream into the original BR structure and tried to play back...in PowerDVD, it will play but only the audio plays, there is NO video! So, I suspect there is not yet a way to preserve the entire BR disc structure(like DVD Shrink did for DVD); perhaps this will be solved in the future?!
Thanks again to all!

I was wondering about playing a full bluray(split at 4gb chunks via tsmuxer bluray output) with truehd audio on an external hard drive using the "avchd-me.exe" name changing program. So essentially a really big AVCHD with TrueHD audio being played on an external harddrive. I Have been able to get the video working but on my first trial, only the non truehd audio worked.
I did some reading and some people suggested that TrueHD would not play off an external hard drive, at least in an avchd format(can anyone confirm this?). The suggestion was to convert the demuxed truehd audio into pcm with eac3to and then to use a program called "pcm2tsmu" to convert the pcm track to one compatible with tsmuxer. I remuxed the new lpcm file with the video and now i get this static noise instead of my audio when playing on my ps3. I am currently re-attempting the TrueHD->PCM->PCM process but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on playing TrueHD audio on an external harddrive in a bluray structure such as an avchd. Thanks for any help.

It's not that TrueHD will not play off an external HDD, it tsMuxeR that cannot handle TrueHD properly... at least I think. Unfortunately at this point TrueHD though tsMuxeR is a no go, tsMuxeR will be updated in the new year, hopefully the TrueHD issue will be addressed.
If you wish to get TrueHD from your rips you need to remux to m2ts first using tsMuxer, then again to Blu-ray using tsremux, however tsremux cannot split to 4GB chunks... thus the need to convert to PCM.
I describe the method I use a few posts ago using eac3to_and_more_GUI. Did you use these instructions and get the static?

Thank you for your quick response and interest, I have learned alot in regards to HD media from your posts.
I had actually demuxed the TrueHD stream using tsmuxer thinking it was able to work with it. So now i'm starting to think that is where things are going wrong. I'm going to try to:
1)demux truehd with eac3to
2)convert truehd to pcm with eac3to
3)convert that pcm to a tsmuxer compliant pcm with pcm2tsmu
4)Remux the video and new pcm audio into bluray structure in tsmuxer, splitting @ 4gb size and use avchdme.exe to make it work
Does that sound about right?

Just in case anyone is having problems with stand alone BD players stuttering with BD-5/BD-9 playback. I have created another MeGUI/x264 profile, which is basically a revised version of my Blu-ray profile to include a lower buffer and max bitrate. This will make discs spin at a slower speed which may reduce stuttering in certain stand alone BD players.
Sophocles mentioned something in another thread which led me to realise that the higher bitrates may be what is causing certain stand alone players to stutter.

Yeah, basically. When you convert your pcm to pcm using pcm2tsmu you need to specify certain values of the track. When converting pcm2tsmu uses the following for defaults;
24 bits [-i #]
6 channels [-c #]
48000 Hz [-s #]
So, if your True HD track is different, you must tell it so. For example on a 16 bit TrueHD track with 6 channels would look like this.
pcm2tsmu.exe input.pcm output_tsm.pcm -i 16
or for a 96kHz/24bit with 7.1 channels would look like this.
pcm2tsmu.exe input.pcm output_tsm.pcm -c 8 -s 96000
I don't think these specifications can be made with eac3to_and_more_GUI, I'm not sure though.

I actually just looked at the link, holy crap!!!! I hope you're not going to pay that amount? I mean I know you'll get cost + a little but really, that's a lot!! Great amp though, I have two on order :)
Another thing; Your new profile, will it save time on encoding? The version prior to this new one plays fine on my PS3 so I'm wondering is it worth it to replace it?

Odin, the PS3 will play almost anything thrown at it. As will some of the better stand alone BD Players. The link includes two profiles named to reflect the differences (Ryu77 Blu-ray & Ryu77 AVCHD/BD5/BD9). The only difference with the AVCHD profile is the lower buffer and max bitrate. This will ensure a lower data transfer speed requirement, thus lowering disc spin speed. This could help increase compatability with some stand alone BD players.
In regards to the Pioneer VSX-LX70 Receiver, I can get a REALLY good price. So good that I wouldn't reveal it here. Put it this way, it would be less than what my store receives it for.
Oh, and if you want to talk about expensive... Did you see the SC-LX90? RRP is $10,999!! 1400w of window breaking, neighbourhood relations destroying power!

As you probably have noticed the Display aspect ratio have changed from 2,35 to 16/9. Does this seem right to you or can you see any other problems with my file?

What are you using for playback? If PC your video will play fine in mkv format. If PS3, mux to m2ts with AC3 audio, it will play fine on the HDD. If Blu-ray, you need to resize to 1920x1080 using MeGUI/AviSynth.
The original encoder cropped the widesceren bars so the x264 application can concentrate fully on the actual video, isnstead of the black bars too.

I was hoping to get some advice. I have been following the excellent guide linked at the beginning of this thread and had a question. I ripped a BD that I was going to reencode to a DVD9 for playback on a PS3. I loaded the avc stream into MeGUI I noticed the resolution was listed as 1920x1088.
The guide says to resize to 1920x1080. Does this still apply, since the source was a BD and it's listed as 1920x1088? I guess what I'm asking is should I leave it 1920x1088, resize to 1920x1080, or crop 8 lines from the bottom?
I also got an error about having to change the colorspace. Is it going to cause problems if I allow it to make the change to my script?

Im using a htpc for playback. Oki so the display aspect ratio should be oki and wont fuckup the video when watching it then?
Dont want it in 1920x1080 but thnx for your fast reply.

The guide says to resize to 1920x1080. Does this still apply, since the source was a BD and it's listed as 1920x1088? I guess what I'm asking is should I leave it 1920x1088, resize to 1920x1080, or crop 8 lines from the bottom?
I also got an error about having to change the colorspace. Is it going to cause problems if I allow it to make the change to my script?
You should crop 4 lines from the top and bottom making the resolution 1920x1080.
AviSynth code
crop(0,4,0,-4)

Dont want it in 1920x1080 but thnx for your fast reply.
OK then, you do not need to resize or add additional lines when recoding. Technically your video is still what is considered "1080p", the only difference is the 264 lines that are missing were the black widescreen bars originally taken out. Actual Blu-ray/HDDVD movies are the same, the black lines of resolution, or widescreen bars are part of the 1080 horzontal lines in high def content.

That doesn't sound right to me. If it is sourced from an original Blu-ray disc then it should already be 1920 x 1080 and no resizing will be neccessary. Try using an application called MediaInfoRaw to establish what resolution your file is.

I thought so too, sounds more like a HDTV capture... also the colourspace is different too, possibly mpeg2.

I want to say software but one that I would highly recommend. It is the absolute cornerstone to all of the preceding information found in this thread. AnyDVD-HD removes all encryption and copy protection on the fly from your Blu-ray, HD-DVD or DVD as soon as you load a disc into your drive.

Huh?? Why would he quote some random sentence from the title page to this thread. Looks like a bot to me, especially considering the convenient advertising in his/her... umm... it's signature! I think I will press the offensive post button.
