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).

Input

• Input - HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Structures, MPLS or single M2TS/TS/EVO/MKV files

Audio

• Extract True-HD

• Extract LPCM

• Extract AC3 core (from True-HD) or DTS Core (From DTS-MA)

• Convert audio to AC3/DTS (Optionally Choose bitrate)

• Change language of audio/subtitle stream

• Change order of audio/subtitle stream automatically based on preferences, and manual override

Subtitle

• Extract Subtitles

• Extract Blu-Ray Forced Subtitles

• Convert HD-DVD Subtitles to Blu-Ray

• Automatically Activate Forced Subtitles In Your Preferred Language

Chapters

• Extract Chapters

Other Features

• AVCHD mode (FAT32 PS3 compatability)

Create ISO or Burn To Disc

• Call to imgburn to create ISO

• Burn directly with ImgBurn

Multilingual User Interface

• German User Interface

• French User Interface

• Italian User Interface

• Dutch User Interface

There are still some todos:

• Call eac3to for (at least 1st playlist) immediately after 1st sucessfull call - preserving each subsquent call

• Convert BD structure to VCD & SVCD format (just a joke)

Known Bugs:

• None

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.

Please redownload Version 0.52, as a new translation has just been included.

Best Regards,
BurnerHEAD

This post is not necessary anymore, because the german translation is included in ClownBD itself.

I reserve this space for future translations to be posted here. Please report bugs and critism in the german thread for ClownBD.

Have fun using ClownBD!
BurnerHEAD

New german translation file is included in the attachement. I made some minor and major fixes, so make sure you always use the latest version.

The first file ("ClownBDv032b_german_lang.zip") only contains the updated german .LANG file. Replace it with the very buggy one from v0.31b.

The second file("ClownBDv032b_german.zip") now contains the original ClownBD.exe file, the updated german translation, all other translations, the changelog.txt and the Pcm2Tsmu.exe file.

Version 0.32b. Please update your german translation. Version 0.31b from the official website does NOT contain the newest translation.
Newest translation is included since Version 0.32b. I don't upload the files anymore, because they are included now.

If I bring out a new version, I will be posted here first. Probably some days before it will be integrated. So stay tuned.

Attention: The Tooltips have been fully translated. But it's still beta, because I worked very long on it, got tired, fell asleep and finished the work napping. So it's likely that I broke something.

Have fun!
BurnerHEAD

How to install:
Unzip the file(s) and put it in the directory of ClownBD. Done.
If there's already a .lang file just replace it.

And the guy in the forum who helped me test

If you mean me, no problem

Is the version you have listed above a change to the one you PM'ed me earlier? If so I can download and test this for you to on a few new BRD's over the w/end.

[mike_r]

yes, it's very different from the version you saw...

Thanks.

[Biffa001]

will give it a whirl and report back.

Thanks for the work on this. For guys like me who prefer to fire and forget and not play with 3 or 4 different programs this is a real boon.

[lwgreen]

I just PMed you with results of my test, and here you already have a newer version. I'll check out this one as well.

Thanks a lot for your work on this.

i tried it today, movie ("wanted") was mounted with VCD (drive "q") but i couldn`t take a playlist there (see screenshot). is this a problem in fact of the movie (BDInfo gives me two playlist files for the main movie "wanted")?

[mike_r]

i need to see all .LOG files produced.

there was just one LOG file produced

the whole BD was stored in an iso file, mounted with VCD (drive letter "Q"), so my "movie location" in Clown_BD was "Q". next step was the first window shown up before (Schritt 2).

Please update your eac3to. we're on version 3.03 now. I forgot to mention in the 1st post that you need to have version 2.81 or greater (but always the newest is the best, unless you hear otherwise).

Please also download the latest version of the GUI
