tsmuxer on snow leopard help

OH...one LAST thing! If was using a DVD+R-DL...what do you change the 4474 to? Is that all you need to change?

Can't wait to get home and try this, hope it works.

Also, one other question...I did the 'optional' step, 5B...is it necessary though?
I think I did it right, but, wasn't sure.
I guess if I got a burn (whether or not the burn worked), then it was okay.

Ok, I've replace the 5b by a simplier 5b with only one line command. ;)
It's better to do the command before removing the disk image. If you have problem with the command, you can eject it through 'Disk Utilities' in Applications -> Utilities.

Yes, it's the only thing to do. You can put 8140 for Double Layer DVD and 4478 for Single Layer DVD (it's a little bit more than my initial post).
Don't forget to split your stream in tsMuxeR, in order to have part with size less than 4Go.
 
I wish I were as smart as you, haha.
I also can't wait to get home to give this a try.

When you say 'split the stream' for DL...can you explain further? Is that just another step in the process if I go with a DL?
Just make it split at, say, 3.8gb, and press 'go'?

And IF I get this working, that doesn't affect playback of the movie, right? It'll play straight through..

Yes, in tsMuxeRGui, you go to 'Split & Cut' tab, and choose 'Split by size every' and you put a size (for example 3.8000 GB)
Yes, it will play straight through (you might just see a little freeze when changing layer as normal Double Layer DVD depending on your player).
 
Thanks a ton. Can't wait to get home and try all this out. If it all works, I'm gonna be seriously thrilled. And if not, I'm still very grateful for the help!
 
YAY!!!!! I burned a DVD+R and it worked in the Panasonic!!!!!
I'm so excited!!! I'm gonna try and do a DL now.

The disc didn't work in the Insignia brand I mentioned though, which is odd, no? The player supposedly plays AVCHD disks according to everything I've read online. Hmmm...
 
So, a 4.37 gb file downloaded becomes 4.69 gb on my hard drive (Why is that?)
When run through TsmuxeR, this isn't going to fit on a DVD+R, need to go DL, right?

And, if I have a file that is 7.94 gb, and becomes over 8 gb on the hard drive, I can't make an AVCHD, I'd imagine.

Last question - will option 3 (the rename) make a disc that will (more likely) play in both my machines?
I'm not sure how to do option 3.

Gonna play around a bit now, see what I can manage.

But you can try on DVR-RW :D, so you can try the different solutions .
  • AVCHD Disk (tsMuxeR option)
  • BluRay Disk (tsMuxeR option)
  • AVCHD with 8.3 Names (tsMuxeR option + rename)
If you need to try with the latest option, and you need to rename the long format names by the 8.3 names, here is a small script that I have written to do so :
Code: 
#!/bin/bash
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Description : Small program to rename the AVCHD Names to AVCHD 8+3 Names
# Author      : VoxMac
# Date        : 07/12/2009
# Paramètre   : $1 - Directory of the AVCHD Structure
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

# Fields separator tag change
OFS=$IFS
IFS="
"

# Going through the AVCHD tree and rename the files
for dirList in $( ls -R "$1" | grep ':' ); do
    dir=$( echo $dirList | sed 's/://g' )
    cd "$dir"
    for file in $(ls); do
        NewName=$(echo $file | tr "[:lower:]" "[:upper:]" | 
                  sed 's/BDMV/BDM/;s/CLPI/CPI/;s/MPLS/MPL/;s/M2TS/MTS/;s/MOVIEOBJECT/MOVIEOBJ/')
        if [[ $file != $NewName  && -f $file ]]; then
           echo "Renaming : $dir/$file --> $NewName"
           mv $file $NewName
        fi
    done
done

# Reset Field separator tag
IFS=$OFS
Save this as for exemple makeAVCHD83 and run as follow
Code: 
./makeAVCHD83 /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray
Click to expand...

Sorry, I'm confused. Where does this go in the list of codes? And, do I just need the 'makeaAVCHD83 etc' line?

It's not that strange. Snow Leopard has changed the way the size is given.
Formerly, on previous OSX versions, for the Finder 1Mb was 1024 * 1024 bytes, but now with Snow Leopard 1Mb is 1000 * 1000 bytes.
So it's Normal that 4.37 Gb (which is 4692251770 bytes) becomes 4.69Gb in Snow Leopard Finder.
To add to the confusions, others applications such as Toast use the old method of calculation.

If the solution 1 works, the third one is unnecessary.
But If you want to try, it should come right after using tsMuxeR, before all the previous steps describe in my post.
 
Thanks for the help.

I was going to try option 3 to see if the burned disc would play in all my players.

I get the output folder from TsmuxeR, and then when I go to terminal, the first line in terminal is the '8+3' line, and then everything else follows?

And, 7.94 gb which becomes 8+...no way to burn that to a 8.5 gb disc, I'd imagine...

7.94 Gb should fit in a 8.5 Gb DVD. If it doesn't fit you will receive an error in the copy step.

For the option 3, if you want to do in simple command lines and not a script you should do :
1. Rename Index file
Code: 
mv /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/index.bdmv /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/INDEX.BDM
mv /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/index.bdmv /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/INDEX.BDM
2. Rename MovieObject file
Code: 
mv /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/MovieObject.bdmv  /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/MOVIEOBJ.BDM
mv /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/MovieObject.bdmv  /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/MOVIEOBJ.BDM
3. Rename all the clips files
Code: 
for file in /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/CLIPINF/*; do mv $file ${file/clpi/CPI};done
for file in /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/CLIPINF/*; do mv $file ${file/clpi/CPI};done
4. Rename all the Playlist files
Code: 
for file in /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/PLAYLIST/*; do mv $file ${file/mpls/MPL};done
for file in /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/PLAYLIST/*; do mv $file ${file/mpls/MPL};done
5. Rename all the stream files
Code: 
for file in /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/STREAM/*; do mv $file ${file/m2ts/MTS};done
for file in /Users/My_user/My_blu_ray/BDMV/BACKUP/STREAM/*; do mv $file ${file/m2ts/MTS};done
 
Well, if it's not one thing it's another, haha.

I burned another disc, a DL, and it played fine in my Insignia, but, the Panasonic didn't show video, only played audio.
So, I googled and found this, that the MKV file has to have PERFECT resolution for the Panny to play it back.

That first disc I mentioned excitedly yesterday had perfect 1280 x 720, while the 2nd one had 1280 x 583 or something. The hours that this link says it takes to make them compliant sounds awful!

Sorry I can't help for the last problem, because uncroping mkv need re-encoding. On Windows, you have an utility that does it automatically (uncropMKV),
but for Mac, you should do it by yourself using program like AviDemux using x264 and using 'Add black borders' filter.
But in any case, it will take time to do it.
 
Okay, I'll take a look at avidemux. Thanks for all the help. Really appreciate it!
 
I had no AppleMyungjo.ttf in my 10.6.2, but I had the other one, so I googled it and just put both AppleMyungjo.ttf and Gungseouche.ttf in my fonts folder and tsmuxer is working great! I didn't have to delete them or rename them. Now why can't someone just combine tsmuxer with mkvmerge!?!?!?

Hi Guys,

I've worked for you ! I Give you a Christmas Present !

I've done a Snow Leopard Hack of the latest version of tsMuxer (1.10.6).
It works properly, but take time to read the SnowLeopardHack.Readme.en where I explain the problem, and the way I've solved it (and the little restriction).
You can download it at : http://rapidshare.com/files/325511189/tsMuxer_1.10.6_SL_Hack_by_VoxMac.dmg

hey vox. would you mind uploading that readme, or emailing it to me or something? i cant open up any .mkvs (they must have french subtitles or something?).

would be great if you could :D cheers

(version 1.10.6)

Did you remove the two Korean fonts as mentionned in my Message ?
All the readme file is in the post.

VoxMac.
 
DoFoT9 said:
i did yes. it still gives me the same error message

"cannot detect stream".

the mkv. is directly ripped from a BD disk (using makemkv). not sure why it wont work for me :(

any ideas?
Click to expand...
This message is typically given when there are problems with fonts.
Did you remove or rename the Korean fonts ? Sometimes rename is not good enough.
Another cause can com from an unsupported format inside the mkv (for exemple, I think mp3 and aac are not supported audio codec, must be ac3 or dts).
You can also try to recreate the mkv using mkvtoolnix.

i only renamed. i will try deleting but i might have ac3 in the mkv. thats silly but! grrrr. might have to recreate them all again :(

ok update time: just checked the format of my movie (eagle eye) - it has a52 and trhd as audio - and avc1 for video

oh wait! its working! it recognised the file! OMG>>>>>>><<<<<!!!!!!!!
 
VoxMac, you are an absolute STAR. I've been waiting for this since Snow Leopard came out; it has been one of only two things for which I have had to use virtual hosts over the past months (the other being avisynth). Thankyou, thankyou, and thankyou again. Genius.
 
I have been trying to convert from MKV to m2ts so that I can play it on my PS3 and I am using tsmuxer from VoxMac. While the PS3 plays the movie in good quality, the only problem is, my PS3 doesn't seem to be playing the sound of the movie.
Obviously, it is really hard to watch movies without sound (not used to that). So I was wondering if someone can help me. I have been up all night!
VoxMac please help!
How do I convert an MKV to play on my PS3 with SOUND
Thanks

Hello !
First of all, what is the format of your audio in the mkv ?
It needs to be ac3 or dts in order to be converted by tsMuxer in AVC-HD structure.
If you are converting in M2TS format, i think it can only have ac3 sound.
If your audio is in aac, you don't need tsMuxer, just use Subler, to convert your MKV in an MP4 that can be read by the PS3 (no convertion is done, just the container that is changed, and subtitles will be lost if any).
If the audio is in another format (ie. Mp3), audio convertion is required in one of the supported format.
 
Vox,
The audio file is DTS and when I use Tsmuxer whether I convert to Mt2s or AVCHD disk, the sound doesnt work on the playstation
 
Am i suppose to use M2ts Ts or AVCHD when i convert an MKV with DTS. Do i select all the files or only the H.264 and DTS (leaving out the srt files)
Do i maybe change something in the General?
