I absolutely agree with you about the way of recieving material, but there is the dark side of it. Everyone is looking to gain something extra or just spend a minimum cash effort to do the job done. Because there is only few Blu-ray authoring houses in my country there is some kind of battle whom gonna author it. Blu-ray isn’t well propagated, there is only small consumers niche for Blu-ray titles. So, when you see things through my eyes, refusing client’s order it’s like giving away possibility to gain more experience with all the Blu-ray stuff, and of course way bigger cash than you would author a DVD 😉

To get things straight: I will let ripping matter untouched. I know how to do it, and I know it’s a dirty way.

I just wanted to know how to demux streams from ripped Blu-ray and this only the case.

BTW: MPEG Stremclip will demux M2TS
container witch carries MPEG-2 not VC-1, I have tried it earlier.

Ok I can pass on this topic if you think it is not suitable for this place. I would like you to understand that I’m uncompressing demuxed data from DVD’s and Blu-rays only for authoring matters for example like creating menu loop as it is only material for the client. No killing kitties in the name of God 😉 So in my opinion we should stop this topic right here.

Best regards!

Just to be honest… I’m not ripping Blu-ray for my own purposes but it is material recieved from my client due to cost of HDBeta tapes. I know it is sad, but it’s the same procedure with DVD here in Poland.
We are an authoring house doing a job for license owner, not old scurvy pirates 😉

Best regards.

I’m dealing with vc-1 files demuxed from Blu-ray disc. All my attemps on uncompressing it to mov end up as a failure.
I have tried even Episode Encoder but no go…

Thank you for your reply Noah!

Is Teranex Mini will do the trick?

[Robert Grove]

Yep, thats right…
I’ve meant comparison between software and hardware upscaling…
I’m asking about cause our client asked for this when we proposed upscaling his old movie titles for Bluray. He asked of need producing Bluray if the “same thing” could do a settop box like PS3 with DVD in realtime….

Hi there,

First of all I’m vested with m2v file only, its brought from DVD disc
(I don’t have any chance to get better quality material).

Second: my client wants a Pal movie so this is a must.

Third: I’ve made an experiment, Compressor 2 on my older Mac Pro shows everything fine,
then I’ve installed FCS 2 on my Mac Pro on the partitioned disk just in case something would go wrong. FCS 2 shouted at beginning of dependencies that is must have. So I’ve installed
10.4.11 upgrade my OS and newest QT. Theafter patches for FCS was brought to my OS
by Software Update and I thought everything now should be fine. Naah, It was’nt.
New installation of Compressor on seperate disk acts the same….

One logical explanation: QT in its newest version propitiate poor Compressor 3.0.2 to the dark side!

Thanks everyone for taking a look on this problem!

[Robert Grove]

Thank you very much:)

I was confused a bit, its my first time when I do a trancode 🙂

Now the problem is that Compressor 3.0.2 shows wrong video lenght of my m2v ntsc asset
when I put it in it. QuickTime and DVDSP show the right timecode but now the Compressor.

My video is 01:56:54:17 (QuickTime and DVDSP)
the same video in Compressor has 01:33:34:01

It’s 26 minute difference!

I have transode the same m2v file with JES Deinterlacer and the audio matched the PAL asset.

Any thoughts on this ?

Hi there,

Have you checked if “Correct for Aspect Ratio” is on ?
It must be on!

Hope that helps 🙂

H there,

Try to check if “Lighting” checkbox is checked, you can do the following:

1. command + E to open an export window
2. click “Options…” button
3. switch to “Output” bar
4. Uncheck the “Use current project and canvas settings” checkbox
5. Manage the “lighting” checkbox

Good luck on your project!
