tsMuxer Open Source

[von Suppé]

For a thread at VH I did some quick tests with importing a m2ts file only into tsMuxer and exporting as BD folder structure.
These tests were to find out if the results could be imported into MakeMKV without errors.

My findings say that if I use tsMuxer version 2.6.12, MakeKMV accepts the resulting BD perfectly.

Using the nightly portable (2020-07-22 64 bit), after import into MakeMKV, it returns with an error ("Failed to decode audio/video data for title #0 - invalid mux or internal error")

Eventhough the output performs well for my pc and mediaplayers and it seems to be okay further, is this something that must be looked into?

Maybe a possible bug (tsMuxerGUI.exe CRC-32: f060620b It seems to me that this is the last or penultimate release). When I make a mux and apply a negative delay to the audio from the tsmuxer itself, the result is that the In time changes from the origianl and it doesn't play when you recreate the full bluray again. However, if I make the mux without applying the negative delay, the bluray (remain with the same In time from original) can be reassembled and played.

Could a MediaInfo log help you?

It's odd that you can't reproduce this bug, it is systematic on all the MKV that I tested?
Attached is a capture of the split files that I get ...

[tebasuna51]

@yannick92

I can confirm the problem, I checked the split with 2 mkv's and tsMuxeR split the file by keyframes (the same number of fragments than keyframes) ignoring the size.

The metafile:

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --hdmv-descriptors --vbr --split-size=3,000GB --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "D:\Temp\test.mkv", insertSEI, contSPS, track=1, lang=eng
...

I don't know if the "3,000GB" can be a problem. I put "3" without decimals in the capture and is the same.

EDIT:
That is the problem, with the .meta file edited to "3GB" or "3.000GB" works fine

[BloodyRipper]

@tebasuna51 @yannick92

Thanks a lot. Another locale issue, since tsMuxer is hardcoded to use a decimal dot when parsing this particular argument. Since my locale uses a dot as well, I obviously could not reproduce it. This should be fixed in 2020-08-18 nightly.

[tebasuna51]

Thanks, problem solved.

A small wish to the developers:
I would welcome the usual changelog per build where one can see what has changed.
The release notes add up what has been achieved for Version 2.6.16, but do not mention the various builds.
Right now from 2019 12 14 until today I have 146 builds sitting in my tsMuxeR folder, so bugtracking becomes a bit hard.

A subtitle bug or a wish to the developers

When I change the color of a subtitle in a UHD Bluray only if the format is srt works fine. Could if possible working as well if codec is pgs?

Let me show some images what's happening





Result ok with srt



Same color if pgs



Regards

[r0lZ]

PGS subtitles are in graphic format. The colors are in the image. And there can be any number of colors in a single subtitle. The only way to change the colors is to convert the subtitles to XML/PNG (with BDSup2Sub for example), edit the PNG images with a graphic programs, and convert them back to BD SUP.
In the other hand, a SRT is a simple text, converted to graphics at playback time. Therefore the color is not dependent of the subtitle stream, and you can change it easily.

[maxibon]

Could yo tell me which graphic programs should I use in order to edit PNG images?

Thanks

Hi everyone, I don't know if the topic has already been raised, but BDinfo after the mux with tsMuxeR, reads the Bitrate of the Blu-Ray, but not those of the Blu-Ray UHD, the problem is in the m2ts container, here are 2 examples:

Blu-ray




Blu-Ray UHD

PhotoShop ($$$$)
Gimp (Free)

[MrVideo]

I just noticed that the GUI About tab doesn't list the version number. I understand that all of the nightly builds are the same version, so the nightly build date should be listed as well.

This bug reminds me of a similar one in another program. The metadata is broken to be able to list the bitrate properly. If it is confirmed it is an error that should be fixed.

Glad to see you here again.

Greetings to all for creating this wonderful tool.

Two questions:

1. Is DD+ 5.1 sound track supported when creating BDMV folder? It appears some have reported getting error 135 message when doing so.

2. Can this be used to create BDMV consisting of multiple HEVC titles? Or any suggestion for a suitable tool?

Many thanks and best regards,

[MrVideo]

I can crash the Sep 6th nightly build (Win7-64) extremely easily. Just do a remove of any of the tracks and you can easily cause it to crash. Changing the order of the track removal can make it not crash, but after a successful M2TS muxing, doing a remove of the imported files resulted in a crash when removing that last of the two files.

Going back to the June 1st build results in it working, without crashing.

[ocean]

Hi outgoing thank you, nice to see you again, the problem described above, I found an analogy in the encoder used, ATEME Titan File 3.9.0 (4.9.0.0), the titles that use this encoder generate the problem.

Should be fixed in the Bintray nightly-2020-09-13--02-21-33.

Nice, great work!!

[iSeries]

Not sure if this is a bug or not but using the latest nightly, remuxing full disc backup of Midsommar Director's Cut to m2ts, tsMuxer is adding a -13 second audio delay relative to video (shown in MediaInfo). No delay is indicated in the original playlist/m2ts. I have no idea how to stop tsMuxer from adding this delay.
