tsmuxer : m2ts don't ff unless mux in mkv first

I had some trouble to get the m2ts (bluray structure) from tsmuxer to ff in the PS3. sometime it works.. other times.. not.. So I try differents command line for the x264.. and didn't change a thing. I found a movie that I just reencode and it was working.. so I try to remember what I did.. and I find out. when I encode the movie with x264.. using the ps3 compatible parameters.. that don't affect the ff. If I do that... it will not ff (sometime it starts.. but it take 2 min to start).. if I encode the movie and mux the raw directly with tsmuxer 1.84.. it won't ff. BUT If I mux them in a mkv first.. and input this mkv into tsmuxer.. it will works.. did that we 3 differents movies and got the same result for them.

playback on a external USB drive and I use the mkvmerge that came with the latest automkv build. it after converting a movie with automkv that I found that.

When I do my x264 encodes, I use MeGUI with the SA-Bluray profile. If you are just using x264 from the command line, this is what options it uses (just need the input/output files and set the bitrate to what you'd like): Code:

thanks I'll try that tonight. will see if it's make a difference

This may be obvious without mentioning, but I wanted to point out that these are very high-quality settings - if encoding a full-length movie, it will take a while. I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 CPU (3.0 GHz x 2) and 4 GB RAM and a ~2 hour movie takes somewhere around 12 hours to encode. To me, I want to preserve the quality, and the encoding time isn't too important.

:) that's fine.. I didn't need the command line :) I already have one.. the problem was what to do after the encoding done.

I try wihtout theses settings.. and it working perfectly insertSEI, contSPS if we mux the movie.264 + ac3 without that.. it will play perfectly.. and will support ff and rw. just for your info.. the command are from ripbot and automkv ripbot : 2th pass is : --pass 2 --bitrate 1024 --stats ".stats" --level 4.1 --sar 1:1 --aud --nal-hrd --vbv-bufsize 15000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --filter 0,0 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --bframes 3 --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 6 --trellis 1 --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "video.264" automkv 2th pass is : --pass 2 --bitrate 1024 --stats ".stats" --progress --keyint 24 --bframes 3 --qpmin 7 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter 0,0 --subme 6 --direct auto --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --level 4.1 --weightb --b-rdo --bime --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --aud --nal-hrd --aq-mode 0 --aq-strength 0.00 --sar 1:1 --output "movie.264"

Oups.. I got a test that didn't work yesterday. I have a mkv. I reencode the audio from that mkv -> audio.ac3. I Import the mkv into tsmuxer, remove the audio track.. and import the new one. If I remove the both settings.. the movie won't ff. I try with only insertSEI and it didn't work either. I will try to extract the video from the mkv and import that.. without the both setting.. and do another test.. extract the video.. and mux it within a new mkv with the new audio track.

if you working still on it or anybody who reads this; you have to create bluray disk on tsremux. clpi & mlps file needed for ff and rw. it's not concerned with insertSEI or contSPS.
