eac3to, tsMuxer & ImgBurn Made Easy








I can't wait for CloneBD, and I'm too lazy to mess around with command line programs. My needs are simple, I want 1 .m2ts file with:

. Main Movie
. English audio (in AC3 format)
. German audio (in AC3 format)

the new version of eac3to (V2.84) seems to have got 2 pass processing (incase of seamless branching gaps) running smoothe.

This is what I do (one time only):

Create a file called 'Demux Entire Movie.BAT' (you should change the path names to whatever you use)

@echo off
set pathToEac=E:\TVIX\eac3to\
set pathToTSM=E:\TVIX\tsMuxeR\tsMuxeR_1.8.4(b)\
set pathToMovie=Q:\

"%pathToEac%eac3to.exe" "%pathToMovie%"

SET /P Playlist="Type Playlist (eg 1) And Press Enter "
If not "%Playlist%"=="" Set Playlist=%Playlist:~0,1%
echo Entered %Playlist%)

"%pathToEac%eac3to.exe" "%pathToMovie%" %Playlist%)

SET /P Movie="Type Main Movie (eg 2) And Press Enter "
If not "%Movie%"=="" Set Movie=%Movie:~0,1%
echo Entered %Movie%:

SET /P MType="Type Video (eg h264 VC1 MPEG2) And Press Enter "
If not "%MType%"=="" Set MType=%MType:~0,5%
echo Entered %MType%:

SET /P English="Type English Audio (eg 3) And Press Enter "
If not "%English%"=="" Set English=%English:~0,1%
echo Entered %English%:

SET /P German="Type German Audio (eg 4) And Press Enter "
If not "%German%"=="" Set German=%German:~0,1%
echo Entered %German%:

"%pathToEac%eac3to.exe" "%pathToMovie%" %Playlist%) %Movie%: Movie.%MType% %English%: English.ac3 %German%: German.ac3

"%pathToTSM%tsMuxeR.exe" %MType%.meta Movie.m2ts

pause

Create 3 META files:

MPEG2.META

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --vbr  --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG-2, "Movie.MPEG2"
A_AC3, "English.ac3", lang=eng
A_AC3, "German.ac3", lang=ger

VC1.META

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --vbr  --vbv-len=500
V_MS/VFW/WVC1, "Movie.vc1"
A_AC3, "English.ac3", lang=eng
A_AC3, "German.ac3", lang=ger

H264.META

MUXOPT --no-pcr-on-video-pid --new-audio-pes --vbr  --vbv-len=500
V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC, "Movie.h264", insertSEI, contSPS
A_AC3, "English.ac3", lang=eng
A_AC3, "German.ac3", lang=ger

Save these files in directory 'eac3to_BAT_ENG+GER'. Now make a new directory, let's say 'DEMUX' and a sub directory let's say 'FILM_XYZ'. Copy the 4 files from 'eac3to_BAT_ENG+GER', and double click on 'Demux Entire Movie.BAT'. Follow the simple dialogue, and at the end you should have a .M2TS file at the end.

Of course, if you want other languages - please change the files in your versions. If you only need English, just remove the German references in all 4 files.


For ease, I've added a ZIP file with the following:

eac3to_BAT_ENG+GER
eac3to_BAT_ENG
eac3to_BAT_GER

How do we get the file "demux entire movie.bat"

changed from/to:

tsmuxeR_1.8.4(b)
tsmuxeR_1.8.8(b)


Thanks

the 3 lines with the 'SET' command, should be customised to your own installation:

set pathToEac=E:\TVIX\eac3to\
set pathToTSM=E:\TVIX\tsMuxeR\tsMuxeR_1.8.4(b)\
set pathToMovie=Q:\

I've been trying to follow your instructions on this, but it's not working out for me. I downloaded the zip file and used the English only file. After editing the batch file for my locations for eac3to, tsMuxeR and my blu ray drive, I ran the file on Enchanted. This gave me three files: English.ac3, Movie.h264 and Movie-Log.txt instead of the .m2ts file I expected, although I'm not sure I would know how to get this file into a blu ray structure anyway.
You also say, "Now make a new directory, let's say 'DEMUX' and a sub directory let's say 'FILM_XYZ'. Copy the 4 files from 'eac3to_BAT_ENG+GER', and double click on 'Demux Entire Movie.BAT'." I assume you mean to copy the four files to "DEMUX," but I'm not sure what "FILM_XYZ" is for. Should this subdirectory's name be included somewhere in the batch file as the output folder? Thanks for any help.

it's a new sub directory in your 'DEMUX' folder, it can be anything you want, leave it as 'New Folder' or call it Enchanted_Rip in you case.

all 4 files from eac3to_BAT_ENG should be copied to Enchanted_Rip. You are staying in this new folder now, and then double click on 'Demux Entire Movie.BAT'

now in your case, you obviously didn't have h264.meta in Enchanted_Rip. you can either restart from scratch, or simply open tsmuxer and drag'n'drop English.ac3 + Movie.h264 into the gui, select destination and 'start muxing'

I did have h264.meta in the folder. Why would I leave one file out? I did it twice with the same results. Obviously I'm doing something else wrong. To try to finish this, I put the two files that were created by the .bat file into tsMuxer, chose "Create Blu-ray disk" and started muxing. When it finished, it did create the blu ray structure. I burned it to a 25 GB disc. It worked, except the sound was out of sync. In fact, the sound wasn't even in the same scene with the movie. I don't know how that could happen, but it did. Anyway, thanks for your help with this.

what version of eac3to ?

perhaps post Movie-Log.txt + your version of the BAT file (with your file locations)

I'm using version 2.87. I ran the .bat file (with the four meta files) in a folder I created called AA-Demux. I also created a sub folder called movie, but it was not used. The three files created stayed in the AA-Demux folder with all the other files. I moved them to the Movie folder manually. I'm attaching the log file. I remember the last line on the screen (but not in the log file) when it finished was something to the effect that it couldn't find a path. This is why I thought it might be trying to find the sub folder I created but was not listed in the .bat file.

Forgot to post the .bat file.

edit: Well, that didn't work. Are we not allowed to post .bat files? If not, I can zip it.

[lwgreen]

Here's the .bat file zipped.
