For this particular backup, all is well. But is this normal for the reencoded menu to be larger than the original?
The menu encoding uses different options for the last 4-6 builds to achieve better quality. You can try to disable the option in MENU/Advanced about menu-quality encoding.

Try to uninstall avisynth, reboot and install it again (2.58). Until MPC is able to play the menu .avs - I really can't do anything.

"Cannot render file" means that either you have no directshow decoder available for the video or you have way to many filters loading and your OS simply can't handle it.

I prefer the high quality menu look!
I will just prepare in advance my movie backup size to allow for the higher quality/larger menu size.
Thanks deank.

Well... 40-50MB is not that much if you think of it. Backups are never 100% the DVD/BD size and even 100MB is not that much.

The difference is 6200kbps for HQ menu and 4200kbps with regular-old-style menus. 2mbit difference + some extra parameters to x264, but the bitrate is what counts.

Obviously it will be different everytime you encode a BD menu, because sometimes it (the original) may be encoded with bitrate <4200kbps or >6200kbps and you'll end up with either smaller or larger re-encoded menu file.

Joining M*TS Files and keeping the subs

Hello Deank & all the others,

I am now a proud owner of a AVCHD 1080-Cam: Panasonic SD707. Which is indeed a great cam. And again, multiAVCHD helps me a lot to easily create a great looking Blu Ray of my homevideos. Since the camcorder records each scene as a single file, multiAVCHD has the option to join all the scenes to one title, which is absolutely great, because I don't want to end up with a BR Disc containing 120 seperate screnes. I cannot say it enough: mulitAVCHD is a great tool
But theres one little problem: after joining the files, the subs are gone! Of course, keeping the cam-subs (showing recording date and time) is for me absolutely necessary - it's a good feature when you watch the homevideo after some time and you just want to know, when the scene originally "happened" - you just have to press the "sub" button on your remote.
So Deank, is there a way to keep the original subs while joining the files? That would be so great!!

Thanks & greets!

PS: I was very amazed, that after joinging the files, there's automatically created an index with chapters for each scene! WOW!! Things can be so easy

I'll need to look into this, but for the moment you can do much better than joining these MTS files.

Just load the BDMV/AVCHD folder which contain these scenes (mts files) and click [merge playlists] button in MEDIA tab.

Then you'll get one title from merging all playlists with 100% the original video+audio+subtitles.

Some improvements in the latest build (you'll need to use multiUPDATE.exe):

* Download this nice small (50kb) CLI tool from another doom9 user (Groucho2004) (link to the post) and extract AVSInfo.exe in your multiAVCHD\tools folder. This may greatly improve the speed for all image processing/visualization in multiAVCHD. Until now x264 was used for executing avisynth scripts and sometimes caused 'x264 crashed' errors, but with avsinfo it shouldn't happen. Plus, it is much faster and doesn't need colorspace conversion at the end of each avs script. The tool is included in the full-download.

* Small fix: menu font color setting will be available even when [-] Create top menu is not selected (useful for title-list menu setting when no main top menu is created).

* Fixed: sometimes the crop zone when using zoom (%H) in [transcode] window will cause slight AR distortion. It is fixed now + some more zoom %s.

I posted some time ago in BD-Rebuilder thread that I'll create a small tool to check user PC Directshow capabilities of decoding AVC/H.264, MPEG-2 and VC-1, so here it is:

Download link (3MB)



Contains:

Code:
.\multiTEST\multiTEST.exe
.\multiTEST\calclib.dll

.\multiTEST\testdata\test_AVS.JPG
.\multiTEST\testdata\test_H264.m2ts
.\multiTEST\testdata\test_MPEG2.m2ts
.\multiTEST\testdata\test_VC1.m2ts
.\multiTEST\testdata\x264.exe

Thanks for the reply Dean. I will try this first chance I get. Unfortunately that won't be for 2 weeks as I'm headed out of town today. I also saw the multitest tool you added. Ill be sure to use that too. Thanks again and ill report back in a few weeks.

Okay get back with the results... this small tool should report something like:

Code:
* Checking AviSynth presence...
* [OK] AVISYNTH (encoded 7782 bytes)

* Checking AVC/H.264 decoding...
* [OK] AVC/H.264 (encoded 56512 bytes)

* Checking MPEG-2 decoding...
* [OK] MPEG-2 (encoded 2761 bytes)

* Checking VC-1 decoding...
* [OK] VC-1 (encoded 2998 bytes)

* All tests completed!
if all is okay.

multiAVCHD seems to remove chapter marks

I looked everywhere in the menus but couldn't see where I could set this.

I usually create my content for the program from rips of my own titles (HD-DVD -> AVCHD so I can play them on my Oppo). When I am muxing the content back to ts format, I usually tell tsmuxer to create chapter points every 5 or 10 minutes. But for some reason, when this content is imported into multiAVCHD, the chapter marks get lost.

I see there is an option to create 12 equal chapter points but shouldn't the program observe any existing chapter marks or am I missing something in the menus or options.

You can't get chapters with tsMuxeR when using m2ts or ts muxing. Chapters are available only when you create Blu-ray or AVCHD disc with tsMuxeR (they are stored in mpls files).

If you do that (or import a mpls file) multiAVCHD will see the chapters. Chapters are also supported in MKV files or with external .txt/.chp files.
