Movie Only Copies: eac3to, tsMuxer & ImgBurn Made Easy

[mike_r]

Due to bandwith problems (ie too many users now), please see alternative links for download:

v0.79 exe only
v0.79 ZIP full package


I started off with this thread, but found the forum getting asked the same question over and over again about seamless branching, audio overlaps etc etc. It seems that there are plenty of users who can't really be bothered with the command line. This is a real shame.

However, even presented with the answer on a plate; some users still didn't get it. I'd been thinking about a GUI for some time, but not really being a programmer in this field lacked the tools, energy and interest.

However, I did it. Here's the 79th public release:

Here are some of the 1st prototype screen shots. Since then, it's advanced some.

To sum it up in one sentence: Clown_BD will enable you to extract (on the fly) the main movie and language streams of your choice, resulting in either transport streams (for Media Jukebox), an ISO image (for PowerDVD) or even a burned BD disk (for standalone players).

There are still some todos:

Screen Shots

Select some options:


Select your default locations:


eac3to is called, and the playlists are presented to you. Select one and proceed:


eac3to is called, and the video, audio and subtitle streams are presented to you. Select what you want and proceed.


eac3to is called and saves all the streams you selected.

a meta file for tsMuxer are created & tsMuxeR is executed.

If AVCHD mode is selected, then all files are renamed to 8.3 standard.

If you selected a .ISO image, then ImgBurn is called after after tsMuxer is completed.

Finally a sound is played - especially usefull if you leave you PC unattended, so you can hear it from another room.
