Hi. I am new to this forum since I JUST joined now. And also, not only new to this, but new to learn how to use and covert media format/files such as MKV file or AVI or XVID or DVIX or whatever.
When I finally downloaded Tsmuxer software and the conversion seemed to work, but what puzzled me the most is: the MB of the file itself. I mean, I downloaded Bleach and Naruto Shippuden series from Dattebayo.com. However, in this case, let me use Bleach Movie #2 as an example. When I downloaded it via BitTorrent and it showed 700Mb, but when converting (from video clip, not mkv file- I don't know why anyway)... when the conversion was complete, it showed only 4.15MB??? I am confused. How do I do it right way? I mean I read and followed the instruction from this thread on how to do it...
It should be 700MB instead of 4.15MB, right??? Any helpful advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated! Thank you very much.

Install the latest MeGUI, when prompted to import the profiles make sure you select all of the x264 profiles (Ryu77's is there too). Let me know when you get that far.

What are the dimensions of the video you are working with now? Also, what is the file type?

Hi guys
I want to download HD torrents and put them on DVD-5's so I can watch them on my PS3. I have some questions about tsxmuxer
Will this program ruin the quality of video/sound at all?
What input format will work with this program? I can get H.264 or MKV, which ones work?
With this program, could I get even 1080P videos to fit on a DVD-5? How?

1.) No. The program only puts the file into a container that the PS3 can read. (In this case, it creates a Blu-Ray disc out of your video.)
2.) It'll accept h264. MKV is tricky, because the video stream might be something the PS3 can't read. You'll have to check what the streams are.
3.) The only thing that matters is the size of the original file. If it's less than about 4.35 GB, then it'll fit. Most 1080p videos are larger than that, though. So... hope that helps.

fat32 drives have a file size limit of 4GB. You'll have to split your file into two 4GB chunks using tsMuxer's split and cut function.

You can use media servers to do that? Huh.
Originally posted by imanewguy:

No, it'll just split it. It doesn't do anything to the quality of the video.
What tsMuxer does isn't re-encode the video. It just takes whatever video you have and "packages" it into a container format (m2ts, ts, Blu-Ray, etc.) that the PS3'll recognize.
Re-encode = loss of quality
Mux = no loss of quality
Think of it this way:
Re-encoding is like photocopying something (the video) - the quality will degrade.
Muxing is like packing that same something (the video) in a box along with some other items (the audio, subs, etc.).

Excellent thats good to know and I finally got the media server thing to work too so thanks alot to you and everyone here I appreciate it.

It likely means that your audio is of a format not accepted by the PS3. On your PS3, go to your video and click Triangle.
Go to Information (or something like that), and you should be able to see information about it - size, resolution, etc. If the audio codec is a blank (or "----"), then the PS3 simply isn't recognizing it.
It's likely an AAC audio (which SHOULD work, but for some reason, doesn't work on mine), so you'll have to convert it to something like AC3.
Hope that helps.

Hi everyone. Sorry if this was answered before, but I googled my problem and didn't find any answer.
I have a MKV file with H264 1280x688 and AC3 192Kbs Stereo. I tried converting it to .m2ts using tsMuxeR 1.8.4, and changed the h264 level from 5.1 to 4.1, but when I played the file on my PS3 there was only sound, no video (black screen), and the video codec shows in the file info. as AVC. I also tried to lower the level to 3.1 but no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

cracker, I'm not sure what to do with DTS audio. I don't have any experience with that. But I know it's been asked in this thread and others around here. You should be able to find an answer by searching. If that doesn't work, I'll see what I can dig up.
...actually, here's a guide on how to change from DTS to AC3:
http://www.afterdawn.com/guides/archive/convert_dts_to_ac3.cfm
It might or might not be what you're looking for.
As for playing on your PC, if you're using Media Player Classic, you should be good. VLC should be alright, too, but you also need the latest ffdshow codecs (or some such thing). Regardless, the latest codec packs should do you fine.
zee, I'm not completely sure about this, but it could be due to the non-standard resolution of your video. Try rescaling it to 1280 x 720. (I remember reading past that it just caused green borders, not a complete loss of video, but I could be wrong.)
The other possibility is that your video was encoded wrong, and you'll have to re-encode the video anyway.

Personally, I'd use a MeGUI and AviSynth combo, as AviSynth basically does everything you could ever hope for, and MeGUI acts as... well, as a graphic user interface.
The only thing is that it can get complicated if you don't know what you're doing.
EDIT:
Maybe I should clarify and expound on things.
First off, you should demux your .mkv file. You can find out how to do that fairly easily. I won't go through too much of what should be easy to find.
1.) Download the two programs (AviSynth/MeGUI) and install them.
2.) Download the AVC decoder plugin for AviSynth. Download
3.) Unzip the file and run DGAVCIndex.
4.) Click on File-->Open-->Your file. On the window that opens up, click "Ok" or whatever the option is.
5.) Go back to File-->Save Project. Save as whatever you like, preferably something easy like "movie.dga".
6.) Open up Notepad.
7.) Type in (or copy) the following:
LoadPlugin("...file path.../DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("...file path.../movie.dga")
AddBorders(0,16,0,16)
8.) Save the file as something like "movie.avs". Make sure you choose "All filetypes" or it'll be saved as a text file instead of an AviSynth file.
9.) Open MeGUI and update the program.
10.) Load the AviSynth script you just made.
11.) Check the preview box. There should be black borders on the top and bottom that make it a proper 1280x720 picture. If not, let me know.
12.) Choose the settings you want your video to be re-encoded at. (For the encoder, I suggest using any of the HQ x264 encoders or Ryu77's specialized encoder. It's up to you, though.) For the output format, you can choose either "MKV" or "RAWAVC". Don't choose MP4, though.
13.) Enqueue the video. Let it do its job. (Depending on how big your file is and the strength of your computer, it might take a while.)
14.) Mux the audio and new video back together into an m2ts container. It should work now.
...granted, I probably made things seem much more complicated than they are, but it's like 4 AM here, so I'm kinda tired. Apologies in advance if I mess up somewhere in these steps (especially the AviSynth script).

Thank you KajNrig, it worked. But, the original h264 file was 2.24GB in size, and now the new one is 849MB. I used DXVA-HD-HQ profile. How I'm supposed to keep it about the same size?
And which one is Ryu77's specialized encoder?
Thank you again.

Re-encoding is always going to reduce the filesize and quality of the original video. It's just one of those unfortunate circumstances. You'd think that simply adding borders wouldn't do anything, but the thing is that EVERYTHING has to be drawn again.
But I suggest you use an x264 profile, because the x264 encoder is an extremely high-quality encoder (hence why you always see .mkvs with x264 video). That'll help increase the size of your video a little bit. (Usually, when I re-encode my videos, I use the x64-HQ-Fast encoder, and my filesize is about half of the original.)
And I'm not sure which profile is Ryu's. It could be something like "Ryu77" or "Ryu" or something, but I can't be sure. Sorry.

I found out why the size is smaller, it's cause of the bitrate change (was 3Mb, became 1.1Mb).
So the PS3 is not able to play HD movie if they are not in standard resolution, right?

It can, it's just that there are some weird things that can happen.
