Encoding Video for Blu-Ray using H264/AVC

[Selur]

@Richard1485: For me they are still there unless 'Ghostery' is enabled.

I don't have Ghostery, but I've quoted the OP, and the images are indeed still there. Something else must be blocking them. My bad then. It's good to know that they're still there. I went to check something the other day and couldn't see them. Thanks.

Nowadays, the pictures timeout of me,...

This is weird...
They also wouldn't load on my side on Chrome, however when I quoted the original post and tried to access the image directly at:

http://tom.niko.users.sbb.rs/resolutions.png

it would load and display.
At that point I started wondering: could it be an HTTPS issue?
And sure enough, if I try to load the same page with HTTP instead of HTTPS (namely http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533 instead of https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533) Chrome ignores it and loads the HTTPS version without images anyway. On the other hand, loading the HTTP version on Firefox works and sure enough the images are still there:



Funnily enough I have the "Always use HTTPS connections" disabled in my Chrome settings but it looks like the browser is testing and probing each HTTP website you visit to see whether it also support an HTTPS equivalent version and automatically "upgrades" you to HTTPS. At that point, I guess they're blocking plain HTTP elements like images due to a security concern which is why they're visible on Firefox but not on Chrome. Why Google, why...?

I attached the images to avoid the problem.
I let the original url but now a copy of the images are in Doom9 and must be always see.

Thanks!

Anyone have some backup of the webpage?

The webpage is down

I need to compliant a MOV file into blu ray but i'm just learning some fews that i have to know

As in a .MOV with a BD-compatible H.264 bitstream?

I'm following this webpage to convert from MOV to a blu ray compliant
https://web.archive.org/web/20211016...m/home/1080i-p

However, what about the audio encode? because that command only works with stream video.

I am also experimenting with this command:

ffmpeg -i IMG_0006.mov -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -x264opts bitrate=18000:level=4. 2:keyint=60:bluray-compat:slices=4pen-gop:ref=4pen-gop:ref=4:vbv-maxrate=4000000:vbv-bufsize=3000000:weightp=0:b-pyramid=strict:cabac: “fps=60000/1001”:force-cfr -c:a ac3 -b:a 640k -ar 48000 -y out.mkv

Is this correct to encode audio and video at the same time?

When encoding video for Blu-Ray using H264/AVC, it's important to follow the Blu-Ray standards to ensure compatibility and quality. The H264 codec is one of the most widely used for Blu-Ray encoding due to its excellent balance between file size and video quality. For Blu-Ray, the encoding settings should comply with the specific profile and level constraints, typically the High Profile with Level 4.1 for HD content.

A few key points to consider include choosing the right bitrate. For 1080p content, a bitrate of around 20-30 Mbps works well, but this can vary depending on the contentÂ’s complexity. If youÂ’re encoding in 4K, youÂ’ll need a much higher bitrate to preserve the quality of the image. Additionally, youÂ’ll want to use 2-pass encoding to optimize the bitrate allocation for the best quality.

Audio is also an important aspect—most Blu-Ray discs use Dolby Digital (AC3) or DTS audio, but you could also use uncompressed formats like LPCM depending on your requirements. Always make sure to check the synchronization between audio and video during encoding.

For more detailed guides and tips, you can refer to this link. It provides a great breakdown of encoding settings and tools you can use to get the best results for Blu-Ray creation.

Hi
Which is the link url that are you refering to?

I think you can ignore that message, looks like a bot respons, so I wouldnt follow any link regardless.

Ok anyway

I have a Mac Book Air M2 and I installed the Compressor app, and I noticed that this program (which is similar to Handbrake) has a Blu ray profile to encode a video and export the video in .264 format

https://support.apple.com/es-cl/guid...sr3f00eefa/mac

Has anyone tried this software to encode a video to h264 and test if it complies with Blu ray parameters? will there be any difference versus doing it directly with x264 ?

[javieracdc]

Edit:
I used a video for testing the Compressor h264 settings and it generated:

Video
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L4.1
Format settings : CABAC / 4 Ref Frames
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, Reference : 4 frames
Format settings, GOP : M=3, N=15
Format settings, Slice coun : 4 slices per frame
Bit rate mode : Variable
Maximum bit rate : 35.0 Mb/s
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS
Standard : NTSC
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits
Scan type : Interlaced
Scan type, store method : Separated fields
Scan order : Top Field First
Color range : Limited
Color primaries : BT.709
Transfer characteristics : BT.709
Matrix coefficients : BT.709

Later I convert this 264 file into m2ts using tsmuxer and I imported into TMPenc authoring works 7 trial and I used The File Checker:




And it detects that video must be reencoded

[cubicibo]

Two issues:
- you misconfigured TMPGenc as a PAL project while you want NTSC framerate. You can fix this without re-encoding.
- you must reduce the number of reordered frame to two, or reduce the number of consecutive b-frames. You must change your compressor settings (if possible) and re-encode.

1) Yes, you are right, I configured now in NTSC and now framerate is passed

2) In Compressor, not possible (At least the option) modify this type of value,
Even here:
https://support.apple.com/es-cl/guid...sr3f00eefa/mac

Doesn´t specific modify the reordering frame

[cubicibo]

If you can't reduce the maximum number of consecutive b-frames then Compressor cannot be used for your purpose.

Hi
I had retested again about the Blu Ray output in Compressor app in MAC, but now I downloaded a older version of Compressor, version 4.7, which this version is the latest supports for DVD and Blu ray iso creation (Even this version create blu ray with a basic menu), newer Compression version, DVD is deprectated and cant create an iso file ready for blu ray, only creates .h264 files extension video

So I created again the blu ray of my video test and this is the output of m2ts:

Video
ID : 4113 (0x1011)
Menu ID : 1 (0x1)
Format : AVC
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec
Format profile : High@L4.1
Format settings : CABAC / 4 Ref Frames
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, Reference : 4 frames
Format settings, Slice coun : 4 slices per frame
Codec ID : 27
Duration : 1 min 5 s
Bit rate mode : Variable
Bit rate : 24.7 Mb/s
Maximum bit rate : 35.0 Mb/s
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 29.970 (30000/1001) FPS
Standard : NTSC
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0
Bit depth : 8 bits
Scan type : Interlaced
Scan type, store method : Separated fields
Scan order : Top Field First
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.398
Stream size : 194 MiB (96%)
Color range : Limited
Color primaries : BT.709
Transfer characteristics : BT.709
Matrix coefficients : BT.709

And now using Clip Format Checker from TMPEnc AW7 now the video is passed:



In conclusion, Compressor version 4.7 is the "latest"version that full comply with Blu Ray standard.

The version that I was using on my fisrt test was 4.9
