Hi hubblec4

Having watched your video and german post, I gave it a go with the "Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition" blu-ray disk. This disc has 3 versions:

1977 theatrical version 02:14:44
1981 special edition 02:12:29
1998 directors cut 02:17:14

I managed to output the desired multi-mkv (had to re-invent the wheel and figure out what the hell to do with the mmg file as I never used this before :-) )

-

Playback in VLC:

In a quick play & walkthrough I encountered some issues:

In --> Playback --> Title, the 1981 special edition's duration is listed as 2:02:49, instead of the original 2:12:29. I have not checked what parts are missing - if any.
Also when choosing another title, the "dot" in the title list stays before the 1977 theatrical version, which I added as first in your multi editor.
Both the 1981 special edition and the 1998 directors cut show frozen video for about a second at same point in a same scene (not the same time). This scene is also used in the 1977 theatrical version, but video (and audio) runs smooth at that same point.

-

Playback in Dune HD Smart D1 mediaplayer:

During playback I found no possible way to navigate to a desired version.
Info window shows duration of 02:50:29.
Chapterlist shows chapters 1 through 19, then 3, 5, 6, 8, 8.
The same 1981 and 1998 editions "video hickup" occur, not in the 1977 version. Thus, exactly as experienced above in VLC.

-

Because HdBR StreamExtractor (frontend for eac3to) logged "audio overlaps", which can cause problems (especially with TrueHD) I ran both 1981 and 1998 versions directly through mmg (direct import of mpls file from BD) to see what happened. Both mkv's with TrueHD or DTS-MA play without problem, so I doubt if the "video hickup" is due to a faulty mmg/mkvmerge itself.

As for my Dune player, I think it's a matter of manufacturer not having the proper firmware for this sort of mkv's (yet?).

I'll show you MediaInfo's log on the file (sorry I don't know how to put this in a scrollable text=box I sometimes see here):

ok, i will update the first contribution.
MKVMergeGUI is an required software to use the mmg file.

I guess your Dune player isnt able to handle such multi mkv files.
and maybe you not have the right Splitter installed.
at the moment, the best splitter is LAV Filter in combination with MPC-HC.

can you upload the three generated files (tags.xml;chapters.xml;mmg),
and the 3 mpls files please?

thanks for the feedback.

Will LAV filter not interfere with Haali splitter? I think several tools on my pc use Haali.

Here are the requested files:

with MPC-HC you can use LAV Filter as internal filters. no seperate installation required.

Haali Splitter works with ordered chapters too.
but I do not know if VLC can load external filters.

Ok got it. Had to figure out how to go to another version, but it works. Strange though one must go through "Filters". Changing versions via "Navigate" would seem more logical.

During playback in MPC-HC also hickups at the same scene/time-points, but the artifact is different now. Seems as if a couple of tenths of a second is skipped. Again, the hickup doesn't occur in the 1977 theatrical version.
FYI also MPC-HC reports the 1981 special edition's duration as 02:02:49.

the navigation in a mkv-file is diffrent to the dvd-navigation.
you can set in LAV filters the TrayIcon for the filter. with a right click on it, you can navigate through all streams, chapters and editions.

I found one small bug, but i think it will not the solution for the whole problem.

mostly the last chapter is too short to use, but in this case not. all 3 editions have 20 chapters but the last chapter is ignored by default.
so i have implement a "check" for the last chapter duration.
if the chapter duration less then 2 seconds then will the chapter ignored.

I have made a new "test version" of chapterEditor where you can create eac3to log files.
this log-files could i use to test the Bluray (without having the Bluray).




you will find in the output folder a "title.txt" and a "tracks.txt".
can you upload this two files please?


The first edition in the chapters.xml looks good, all chapter times are strung together.

Thank you for testing it helps me a lot!

You're welcome.

I guess I made a thinking error. Because the same scene, where the hickup occurs, is used in all 3 versions I assumed that they would be the same source. However, in BDInfo, I took a closer look at the order of which .m2ts files are played for each playlist.
In the 2 "faulty" versions, the hickup occurs in the last moments of 00015.m2ts, before going on to 00016.m2ts.
In the 1977 version there is no hickup. Only the same footage is in another m2ts file; 00014.m2ts. At the end, - as said - no hickup and according to the playlist it continues also with 00016.m2ts.
Now, I imported and ran both 2 "hickup" versions directly (as playlist and separately) in mmg earlier. There were no problems with the mkv's playback. I hope this may help you further.

I did 2 tests with your newer version. One with DTS-MA and one with TrueHD (I still think there's something jiffy because of the mentioned HdBr SE log about audio overlaps).
Playback in MPC-HC shows exactly the same hickup in the same versions. Also the 1981 special edition's duration still shows 02:02:49.

Here's your requested files for both DTS-MA and TrueHD in their respective folders.

rev0.15 is ready.

the duration of all editions should be correct now. it was a small issue, the last m2ts file was sometimes ignored.
LAV filter shows the duration only a second difference to MPC-HC. will certainly be just a rounding error. the 1977 edition plays 2:14:44.681

the muxing process of mmg is sure correct.
tests with the BD T2 were successfully. eac3to also find audio overlaps but the video and sounds plays fine in ever edition.

perhaps mmg muxing incorrect in your case. There is a new button "BD demux". all tracks will be demuxed and then you can add this tracks manually to mmg and load the tags and chapters XML.

or your MPC-HC settings are not the best. i use madVR as video renderer. its only for 32bit MPC-HC. mabye it helps you.

As importing just one "hickup" version results in a mkv without the hickup, mmg would only mux multi-version incorrectly then in this case.
Mmmh, don't know what to think here. Have to try some things out.

for all your work.

i cant rebuild the BD without the m2ts files. the mpls and the eac3to logs is not enough :-)

i used this files and found the issues. but a whole muxing of the BD is not possible.
with the BD demux button you get the right streams. eac3to will apply audio overlaps correction.

or you try to convert a audio track to FLAC. i always convert DTS-MA and TrueHD to FLAC.

Is it possible you can explain why, in plain english (or german PM) for a noob like me?

Edit: would it help you to provide you with HdBR SE log maybe?
