I have a DLink Dir-655 wireless and it would play 720p movies fine but 1080p movies were noticeably choppy, but theres no harm in trying and seeing if it works for you.

Wireless streaming skips BIG time for me.
I've used this guide to back up like 20 movies and it worked great! I have a problem with Nick&Nora's infinite play list. For whatever reason when I use eac3to to do the PCM file conversion it stops converting for no reason and the final file size is less than the original True-HD AC3 file. So now i'm having to down convert the file to a regular AC3 file. Any ideas?
Output log:
TrueHD/AC3, 5.1 channels, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
(embedded: AC3, 5.1 channels, 640kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB)
Extracting TrueHD stream...

Possibly a broken TrueHD file, does eac3to give any explanation? Do you have the disc to re-rip.

So I just encountered my first VC-1 encoded Blue-Ray disk. Since this guide won't work for VC-1... how do I convert the VC-1 to h264? Last night I tried to use ripbot to encode to mp4 format and after 7 hours it "completed" yet the file was nowhere to be found in the output directory or anywhere else on the computer. So how what do I use to go from VC-1 to h264? Thanks in advance!

There are two solutions;
1. Re-encode to h264 for streaming compatibility (takes a long time)
2. Remux to Blu-ray (split to 4GB chunks), rename to AVCHD 8.3 spec (using AVCHDMe), place on a FAT32 external HDD and play on the PS3 (takes about 15-20min).
Do you have an external HDD with approx 30GB of free space?

My external is NTFS... it's what I use to store all my m2ts files on to stream to my PS3. I don't mind if the re-encoding takes a long time. I am a patient man :) What program would I use to re-encode for streaming purposes?

This guide deals with re-encoding and other topics.
If you wish to try my 2nd method mentioned above, you do not need to format your entire external to FAT32, you can partition part of the drive to FAT32, and leave the rest as NTFS. I have a 320G external, 50GB of it is FAT32. I use it for my BD rips that have VC-1 or subtitles that are required... and for this a Blu-ray/AVCHD structure is required.

Thanks! I read the guide and this is what happened. So I have ripped my Blue-Ray and the first thing I have to do is create a single video file with tsremuxer due to the fact that the movie is in multiple streams. So I mux the video into a .ts or an m2ts file. Next I try and use MeGUI to do the video conversion and it tells me to create an avisynth script which I proceed to do and find out that the movie has to be in a "container" first. So does this mean I need to mux the file into a blue-ray structure first or some other kind of file type?

If you mux to m2ts it is already in a container.

Awesome! Got it into m2ts (instead of ts) and got it to accept. Now I have a question about the "bit calculator" step. The original file size is 28.5GB. How do I tell it not to compress the output file at all? I put the output file size at 30GB... is this OK or will it mess up the audio sync when I mux the pcm stream into it? It's weird.. it says the projected file size is 3.6GB?!
Edit: The link to the files was dated. Updated to the new version of MeGUI 0.3.1.1013 and followed the steps again and every time now I get "Job creation aborted due to invalid AviSynth script". UGGGH!.
Edit2: Whenever I click on Config after the x264: *scratchpad* I get a Fatal error with something about value of '0' is not valid for 'Value'. Geez.
Edit 3: Downgraded to MeGUI 0.3.0.3001 and now it seems to be working... we'll see how it goes.. I changed the bitrate to "lossless" and now my estimated file size output was going upwards of 70gigs... so I changed the file size output back to 28.5GB and it's about 22 now. We'll see in about 2 hours...

So does this mean we don't have to convert to lpcm for lossless audio or what? How does this affect the process?

Perfect :) We still have to go through the whole eac3to process for DTS-MA audio though, correct?

Not sure what you are referring to? You can demux with eac3to then remux to Blu-ray using tsMuxeR, you can now keep TrueHD... DTS HD-MA has always worked fine.

Ok i just tested... you can't rip the blue-ray and go straight from the rip and create an m2ts stream to play on the PS3 with HD audio. You still have to demux the audio (TrueHD or DTS-MA)... import into eac3to... convert into a pcm stream... then finally remux the pcm stream and then h.264 video stream.
So I guess my question still stands... what does this NEW version do for someone wanting to rip blue-ray and stream to PS3 with lossless audio? Seems like I still have to go through every step of the original guide in the first post.

I guess if your intentions all along were to stream the new version of tsMuxeR doesn't have any significance too yourself. However a lot of people used the eac3to to LPCM workaround because of the buggered TrueHD issue, now that it is fixed we have even more options.

Excuse me for quoting such an old post but it amazes me how long this bug has been around for.
It happens if you try to type DTS HD with a "-" in between, as it's supposed to be...
DTS-HD
I informed DVDBack23 about 9 months ago about this but nothing changed.
Edit: Oh wow! It looks like it has finally been fixed! :-D

Use eac3to.
eac3to.exe input.dtshd output.pcm
With the latest tsMuxeR I believe raw PCM files are accepted, if not it will still need to be run through pcm2tsmu.
pcm2tsmu.exe input.pcm output_fixed.pcm -c 8
The "-c 8" tells pcm2tsmu the PCM file has 8 channels (7.1). Generally DTS HD-MA tracks are 24 bit, so no other switches are required for the "integer function", if you know it is 16 bit the you will need to add -i 16 before the -c switch.
I thought I heard that the latest tsMuxeR buggers up 7.1 PCM files, mixing up the channel order... i.e. Surround Left coming out of Surround Right, etc.. You may want to read up at the Doom9 forum, tsMuxeR thread... maybe 10 or so pages from the end.

yeah, the channels are swapping, i've looked for an answer on doom9 but i just registered and you can't post for 5 days. has anybody here had any luck getting 7.1 hd.cfm" class="forum_link" target="_blank">dts-hd to 7.1 or even 5.1 lpcm?

Try demuxing the DTSHD-MA as .w64, it's a form of WAV that is acceptable to tsMuxeR, and is converted to LPCM on the fly (no need for pcm2tsmu anymore).

Well it's been a few months since this thread has been touched, but I found it through Google, and so far has been great information.
I am a bit lost though, maybe the files are no longer available on the internet, but not sure what to do, so some guidance would be great.
Here's the issue that I am having.
I am going for Lossless audio. The BR disk I have has True-HD for the audio track. So trying to convert it to LPCM before I remux it all back together. I have gotten my ac3 file, which I now need to convert to LPCM. I select all the right settings according to the first post, prompt window comes up, and like it said nothing looks like it is happening, but I let it run for about 9 hours straight, while at work, came back and it was exactly yhe same.
I believe my issue lies in the Pcm2Tsmu.exe file. I found the links to the Doom9 forum, where I downloaded the file that was linked there. Only thing is that it's called Pcm2Tsmu13.7z. So I cropped off the 13.7z and called it Pcm2Tsmu.exe which is the file name it had to be when setting up "Eac3to and more gui". I am assuming that this is what is causing my hang up and not allowing me to conver the ac3 to an LPCM.
Were do I find the right file? How can I use the Pcm2Tsmu13.7z so that it will work correctly? At a bit of a loss right now, but hoping someone can shed some light.
Thanks
