Hi,

Thanks for adding that uncrop feature in next update!

I have been playing around alittle with the uncrop feature, and this is my conclusion:

If you have a PAL 720x576 4:3 video, that has black border up&down, and the picture area is 16:9 inside the 4:3 frame, then there is 72 black lines below and on top and the picture area is 720x432. If you want to convert that into PAL 720x576 16:9 video, and remove black borders, you should crop with "-72" above and below, to keep correct aspect ratio of final output and no wrong vertical stretching.

Is this conclusion correct?

If so, could you add "-72" in the list of available cropping?

Just another thing, in the resize list some resolutions are listed more then one time, and the list is not sorted from smallest size to largest size. Could this list be trimmed and sorted?


Thanks, bye

eac3to has a meaningless way of reporting track numbers... It uses 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... just as order/numbers (probably ok for some mkv files) but completely useless when dealing with other files, where track numbers are PIDs. There is no easy way to ask eac3to to convert audio track with PID 0x1101 for example. That is what causes the error.

No, because the first 20 or something resolutions are computed using current video resolution. The other resolutions are hard-coded just in case user needs to resize to a specific resolution and the imported file is with a weird WxH.

Hi again,

Ah, I see. I thought it was all hardcoded resolutions. That's ok.

I must be tired, my above conclusion had errors... the 16:9 area insize a 720x576 4:3 frame is not 720x432 but 720x405, and that makes ~86 lines of black above and below, or...?

1024/576 = 1,77777778 aspect ratio
720/1,7777778 = 405 vertical lines
576 - 405 = 171 black vertical lines / 2 = ~86 black lines

Now I'm alittle confused, is the correct crop-value -72 or -86 to get a "perfect" 16:9 frame out of a 4:3 frame with 16:9 picture area?

Bye,
Dolsen

Sorry to pester, but this didn't work. I uninstalled my version of HAALI and reinstalled yours making sure to check the "MPEG-TS" and "MPEG-PS" options, but I still get the exact same crash. The title no longer shows () like before (see below). I even tried a newer version of x264.exe just to troubleshoot, but same thing. It just crashes. Here is avs script that x264.exe is crashing on:

directshowsource("W:\MI-1\BDMV\STREAM\00003.MTS",audio=false,framecount=158540,fps=23.976, timeout=15000).trim(8621, 8622).LanczosResize(280,158).addborders(0,0,0,0,$40ff0000).ConvertToRGB24()
ImageWriter("D:\APPS\Video\multiAVCHD\_TEMP\.multiTH\", 1, 1, "jpg")
ConvertToYV12()

Most movie types seem to work fine, it's just this one V-MPEG2 that crashes...I don't know if it's related, but some movies of type V_MS/VFW/WVC1 fail to show a preview when I click on properties (see below). I can click on the window and it plays, but it refuses to show me a preview. Again, don't know if it's related but just trying to help troubleshoot the culprit.

Any advice you can give me would really help.

This kinda errors are mostly codec related, not related to multiAVCHD. Uninstall all codecs and install only ffdshow + haali, the version posted by deank. The Avisynth errorr are mostly related to bad plugins. I see you have 2 commands that do not belong together in the same avs script: ConvertToRGB24 and ConvertToYV12.

The script is okay and ConvertToRGB24 and ConvertToYV12 are both needed.

If you take a look at my log you'll notice that eac3to took almost 40 minutes. It was really slow but completed eventually. I'm using eac3to 3.16.

Some additions:

If there are no external subtitles loaded for SD-DVD processing, multiAVCHD will extract the first (internal) PGS/SUP subtitle track (listed in Subtitles tab of title-properties) from a blu-ray playlist or m2ts file and will use it

Code:
[12:42:11] Creating SD-DVD structure...
[12:42:14] Demuxing subtitles...
[12:42:14] Converting subtitles to DVD format...
[12:42:14] Converting D:\_TEMP\multiTEMP-20100328\pgsdemux\00003.track_4608.sup to SUP (java:BDsup2sub)...
[12:42:15] *** Imported subpictures: 14/14    
[12:42:15] Completed!
[12:42:15] Applying pulldown...
[12:42:16] Authoring DVD structure...
[12:42:17] SD-DVD muxing completed!
It will be available shortly as 742.

Build 742:

* Fixed: when BDsup2sub fails to export PGC palette, multiAVCHD will generate one to be used by muxman for the SD DVD subtitles

* Added: multiAVCHD will use the internal subtitles from a blu-ray playlist, .m2ts, .ts, .mts if there are no external subtitles loaded. Subtitles will be extracted and resized to DVD resolution

* Added: "0 top-align" option in the "Crop T/B:" list box. It will TOP-ALIGN the uncropped video - one big black bar at the bottom, instead of 2 equal on both sides

Did you enable the >8000kbps encoding option for SD-DVD?

Once again even when manually updated with multiUpdate, proggie keeps saying there's an updated 742 version.

Yes, it is now restricted to 9800 max. And the update should be okay, too... "proggy", eh? It is now 32204 lines of code... Sometimes hard to follow and fix things.

Hi Dean
as I've always wanted synopsis and information on movies multiavchd menu, I found a way to create backgrounds for the menus, containing all the information I need from the film.

thumbgen : program that will capture the data and pictures of the movie on the Internet, on sites like imdb, moviedb, amazon.com and many other. Its vary easy to use. We only need chosse the filme and the program will capture every thing about the movie in the net.

TvIxiE : program to create templates for thumbgen. Inside of the Thumbgen we can donwload the this program.
When Thumbgen get the data of the movie, we can automatically generate the background of the movie and save as jpeg, for use in multiavchd
So, with this programas, we can creat a background like this :








I creat this template now, and i dont have much time for creat a better in this moment. I will creat others templates this week.
Links for this template : Multiavchd template for thumbgen . if you download this file, extract to the folder templates tiviex.

Can you guys explain why my video file is flagged as 1080i in MultiAVCHD when in fact it is a 1080p straight of my camcorder that records natively 1080p at 25fps?

I tried to Alter Detected Properties to PROGRESSIVE but the log still shows that file is seen as interlaced and the resulting video shows the interlacing lines clearly on faster moving scenes.

See the log:

Code:
        tsMuxeR (Version 1.10.6) output:
===============================================================================
Decoding H264 stream (track 1): Profile: High@4.0  Resolution: 1920:1080i  Frame rate: 25
H.264 stream does not contain fps field. Muxing fps=25
Decoding AC3 stream (track 2): Bitrate: 384Kbps Sample Rate: 48KHz Channels: 2
Processed 14187 video frames
Creation of Blu-ray playlist
Creation of Blu-ray stream info and seek index
Mux successful complete.
Muxing time: 39 sec
===============================================================================

Playing the same media file in WMP doesn't show any traces of interlacing at all. I'm puzzled.

Yes, it is probably because of the burning part,

as far as i know, the sony bpd-s300 is only player BD-RE if it is burned with click to disc,

when i use IMGburn it doesnt read it, but when i burn the exact same data to a BD-R it plays just fine.

is there absolotely no way to find out what the difference is between the burn settings?

i mean, it could be that click to disc uses UDF 2.6 instead of 2.5
or ads a simple file to the disc, such as a simple sys file, jsut to let the player know it is burned with click to disc.


does anyone have this program:"click to disc v1.1 or higher" and is capable of burning a BD-RE and playing it succesfully on a Sony bpd-S300 ( i just realise how specific it is), but it would help me out a lot.

I'd say it is flagged as interlaced just because it is REALLY interlaced. Load your MTS files in another application and verify its properties. I'm quite sure you'll be disappointed when you find out your camcoder doesn't really encode in progressive but in interlaced format. Some camcoder manufacturers do a lot of tricks to make it LOOK like it is progressive, but surely it is not for the low and middle-end camcoders. 1080p requires a lot of processing power and most consumer camcoders don't do that. If you see these interlaced artifacts (lines) it means that your source is 100% interlaced. You'll never see such thing with progressive video. It doesn't matter what multiAVCHD or tsMuxeR does - these interlaced lines you see are just because the source is interlaced. They should not be visible when you play an authored BDMV or AVCHD on your TV. Don't be fooled by what you see when you plug your AV cables from the camcoder to the TV - it is not the same. Also don't rely on what you see on your computer screen. Your TV will display it better.

A lot of users do their tests with BD-RE media, so I'll suggest that you do a COMPLETE FULL FORMAT/ERASE of your BD-RE disc with ImgBurn and then try to write a compilation on it.

It are Sony BD-RE V2.1 , i bought them new and completely erased formatted and then on the completely empty new BD-RE, and then burn a compilation, the PS3 as well as the Sony BDP-s300 say the cant read it, the PS3 doesn't even show anything.


BD-R work on the PS3 and BDP-S300, so there shouldn't be something wrong with the compilation,

Right... It seems you're not really paying attention to my post and I'm trying to help you. I asked you to do a COMPLETE format with ImgBurn and then to try again.

Iam sorry i wasnt clear enough, i did the complete format when i first got the the BD-RE , i used ImgBurn for that, but ill try it again, i also found a site with specification of the

BDP-S300

Code:
This utility updates the BDP-S300 firmware to version
5.20
, and provides the following benefits:

Improvements over firmware version 4.90:

* Improves BD-Java compatibility to enhance interactivity with some BD-ROMs.

Additional improvements over original firmware:

* Compatibility with BD-R/RE discs burned by the Click to Disc™ and Click to Disc™ Editor software included with some VAIO® computers
* Adds Dolby® TrueHD Audio and Dolby Digital Plus Audio decoding functionality.
* Compatibility with the newly released BD-R/RE format (BDMV).
So it probably is only a BDP-S300 issue where i have to live with.
