Alright I have a question ... I normally don't have problems converting MKVs to play in the PS3, but I'm having some problem now ..
I converted an MKV to AVCHD recently, and the playback result is that on the PS3, I just get a black screen with the audio playing in background ... and if I play the same disc on a bluray player on my PC (e.g. PowerDVD, HP's built-in player), the video plays, but its very 'blocky' ...
The MKV I'm converting has a level of 4.1, is 1920x1080 in resolution .. so it should convert properly, right ?

I've got a funny problem... I've ripped a commercial blu ray movie using AnyDVD HD, then grabbed the main movie m2ts and stripped it down using TsMuxerGUI to only have the 264 video stream and an audio stream (used TsMuxerGUI to convert HD dolby down to regular AC3 5.1 @ 640). Then output to blu ray structure, and burnt the resulting BDMV and Certificate folders to the root of a blank BD-R using UDF 2.50. In theory I've created a blu ray that conforms to the standard and should work in a stand-alone player.
When I pop the disc in my multimedia PC, PowerDVD 9 starts up and starts playing it like a regular commercial disc except there is no sound! Video is fine. When I select show info it says "audio: DolbyDigital" and the next line is "Output: LCPM 0 Hz 0 channels". However when I use file mode to browse to the m2ts file on the BD-R and play, the sound works, and this time "audio: DolbyDigital 5.1 640" and "Output: LCPM 48"... etc. Ideally I would like my disc to behave like a commercial one and be able to get the sound working in full disc mode not file mode. Any suggestions? Below is my data:

Hey guys,
Fairly new to this but here goes. I was able to find a guide on how to make a 1280x544 mkv file bluray compliat ec a while back but i haven't been able to find it since. I have pieced the steps together from other threads but still no luck. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong. here's my steps:
1.Using TSmuxer I select the mkv file and then demux it.
2.the i write this script and save it to .avs.
DirectShowSource("C:\Users\Bill\Downloads\TheScore\thescore.264", fps=23.976, audio=false)
AddBorders(0, 87, 0, 87)
LanczosResize(1080,720)
3.The I open MeGUI and load the avs script. I get this error message:
AviSynth script error:
DirectShowSource: couldn't open file
C:\users\bill\downloads\file\file.264
Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported.
I also can't play the .264 file directly with media player classic or windows media player. I have CCCP codecs installed, I also tried k-lite. I am running windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

You do not need to demux, use the MKV as the source. Also, you do not need to use the LanczosResize(1080,720) command... BTW it is wrong anyway.

Thank you for the quick response. After 24 hours of muxing the file with the revisions to the avs script I have the mkv but now with no audio. I opened it with TSMuxer to mux it to avchd and there was just the video file, no audio or subtitles. What did I do wrong in MeGUI or can you point me to a guide which might help? Thanks again.

1. Load your newly encoded video stream (the one with the proper dimensions).
2. Include the original MKV (with the incorrect video dimensions), deselect the video stream, leaving the audio and subs.
3. Mux your new compilation.

Hi all, I'm trying to encode a BDRip into .avi without losing anything in terms of quality. I have the BDRip located on my HD with the appropriate BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders. I found the proper .m2ts main movie file and used Handbrake to convert this to .mkv. Now how do I go about converting from .mkv to .avi without losing quality?
I'm also wondering how I would extract the subtitles for the BDRip as well as hardcode subtitles into .avi from .mkv and .srt.

Rnguyen, I don't know how to go to avi. I use mp4 myself. To do this I demux w/ tsmuxer into m2ts files. I use megui to rencode into mp4. I think megui does4omething w/ subtitles but I don't know. You can look into it. I'm going to check it out when I get home from work later on.

Quick Question. I just burned GI Joe full blu-ray rip into a 25GB blu-ray media using DVDFAB main movie feature. I removed all audio but english and everything else I could. The result was showing 32GB and that was 62% of quality.
My question is:
How much quality did I loose? Is it better then just a regular 8gb mkv file? Or is it worse or the same and not worth the $1.50 for the 25GB media.
Thanks guys

I only use DvDfab to rip the Blu-Ray. I use megui to rencode. Anyway I've shrunk down to 3gb w/ ryu's profiles and the video still looks awsome.

Hey guys I just built a new computer with a blu-ray burner, and have been backing up my high-def videos. I don't have a problem with backing up my blu-ray disks to BD-RE 25, but I'm kind of wondering on how I should put my high-def TV shows to a BD-RE 25's they are taking up to much space...about 2TB worth. They are in an mkv containers now. I have a ps3 now, but I want to play these back on other players as well. So how should I go about putting a single seasons 15 to 25 episodes on a BD-RE 25 or BD-RE 50. I would like if they could play in standard blu-ray player with no compatibility issues. If nothing else i can get a samsung blu-ray that plays mkv's and just drag and drop my mkv's to the BD-RE's :D .... But I kind of want that to be a last resort. Did you guys have any thoughts, or ideas for me?

Darkjedi, you can use megui to shrink down your video to fit Disc in question. I would start by opening up in tsmuxer. Mux into m2ts. Shrink that file to size needed w/ megui then use tsmuxer again to mux into blu-ray disc. Which now will work in stand alones and your ps3. On the 1st page of this thread is a link list. The apps needed are there. There is also a guide. DL it and you'll learn most every thing you need.

Size is not a problem. I have a stack of bd-re 25's. They all have aspect ratio of 1280 x 720p so I don't need to re encode for that or the size, But I am unsure about multiple m2ts in the stream folder of the blu-ray. Will that work? How should I go about that. I have only used txmuxer to demux mkv's for editing, and to make blu-ray or avchd folders. I downloaded the guide a while back, but don't recall how to add multiple m2ts files in a blu-ray file system. I know you can join them in txmuxer to make one m2ts, but thats not what I want. If I add about 20 to 23 gigs worth of mkv's in txmuxer can it out put them into a blu-ray file structure that will work for what i need? If so how does that work with out a menu?

I gotcha now. I use roxio and nero in these type of situations. Just so I can have a menu. You can make each file a chapter so and so on. It'll work like a chapter menu. Now w/ out a menu you can use tsmuxer to create each file into their own bluray disc. When you get however many done. Open imgburn. Start w/ the last epasode and work your way to the first adding your "files tsmuxer created. After imageburn burns your disc you can use the skip forward buttons to switch thru the shows.

I guess nero would take forever to create the menu for the disk, but nice to have the option right. Ok so output the mkv to blu-ray folders "BDMV and the CERTIFICATE" with txmuxer, and load multiple Blu-ray folders into imgburn using the files/folders to disk using the udf 2.50. This will allow multiple episodes on a single disk, and the skip forward will skip to the next stream on the disk. Does that sound right? am I missing a step or anything. I didnt know you could use the file structure in a blu-ray like that. I thought all the m2ts would have to be in one stream folder inside the BDMV folder inside the disk. I had know idea you could have multiple BDMV and CERTIFICATE folders on a disk. I'll give that a go. Thanks a lot 13echo4. PLease let me know if it seems that I misunderstood what you are helping me with, and once again thanks for taking the time to help.

I took 3 mkv's and output them to there own separate BDMV's CERTIFICATE folders added them in order last to first, but it said it could not load BDMV because there was already one there(only one at a time)...were you talking about muxing mkv's to m2ts and adding them to imgburm in some way...or what?

You did it how I said it, but I didn't say what I meant. What I do is get my files in the same format etc. Then I load them in tsmuxer then create bluray disc. Burn that output w/ imgburn. What I sais earlier is what I do w/ file I don't plan on playing on a stand alone player. Ingburn would let you input 2 discs on one disc? I'm going to have to check this out cause I have the 2 newest Punishers on 1 disc and the way I done it was I made 2 bluray disc w/ tsmuxer. I get back w/ you on that one.

ok I can put multiple m2ts on a blu-ray and the ps3 will play it, or mkv's and any new samsung blu-ray player will read. I think I can make a disk like you were saying with episodes as chapters by maybe joining the files and setting custom chapter tines to the length of the episodes, However this could be a pain in the rear with 15 to 20 episodes per season.

I just realized what you did last night. You have to rename your BDMV. Imgburn will only input the same name 1ce. It was the name that caused the problem. I have the first 3 seasons of weeds on 1 BD. I'm waiting for season 6 to make 4-6. Anyway what I did was made each episode a chapter. That allows me to skip thru episodes. I use the « » buttons to move thru episode. Yea I can see the aggravation in multi seasons. It doesn't bother me cause I have a lot of data in 1 spot. Its a trade off for me. I have,nt used mkv files. I don't know what you. Can do w/ them. I just know from reading tsmuxer can put em in m2ts format and create bluray. Try your earlier project again and change the names and see how it works.

Rename the BDMV folders. Will that work? I don't know if I'm completely understanding what you are asking me to do here. Here are some options. I think you are asking for option one if I understand you correctly. Sorry if this seems redundant and trivial, and I do really appreciate your help. When it comes to putting more that one Hd vid on a disk I'm clueless.
Option 1: BDMV1 and BDMV2 BDMV3 ext... Multiple BDMV folders with diff names, and the names of the m2ts inside the streams don't matter.
Option 2: Folder 1 "BDMV-Stream- episode1.M2ts" and Folder 2 "BDMV-Stream episode2.M2ts" and Folder 3 "BDMV-Stream- episode3.M2ts" and so on and so forth Multiple BDMV's with m2ts with diff names inside the folder structure.
Option 3: BDMV-Stream- episode1.M2ts episode2.M2ts episode3.M2ts So have a single BDMV and CERTIFICATE with unique named m2ts files inside...

I think a program called multiAVCHD will work. Looks like you can input multiple M2ts files, and it will output a Avchd compatible disk with imgburn or a Blu-ray disk. Have you heard of this before? I'll try it and let you know if it works.

I think 1& 3 options will work. What you did was 3 BDMV folders that tsmuxer created called BDMV and try to inport them into imgburn. Imgburn gave you the error message cause you had more than 1 folder/file named BDMV.for example; you input episode 1 into tsmuxer to create bluray. You choose where to output the file to. After you select where to output to if you add an "/" and a name at the end of path tsmuxer will give it that name. If ytou don't tsmuxer will name it BDMV. If that that's the case just rename it episode 1. Do the same for the rest of you file. Open imgburn select build/burn then drag drop your files over into input window and burn.
