Same thing here. The film distributor handed me blu-ray and asked me if I could add local language subtitles to it so the re-authored blu-ray can be shown in movie theatre. As you may know Sonic promotes usage of DVD-Logic’s Blu-Ray reauthor tool to make ripping-reauthoring easier. So there is no need to accentuate illegality of the process. DVD Logic guys sell dvd demuxer tool but I’d like to use freeware tools. The doom9.org community has developed freeware tools as well.
Next thing is how to put subtiltles in re-authored disk. I haven’t succeeded with Encore CS3 which i own.
Will Sony Vegas work?
My current workaround is to use various freeware tools to get my movie demuxed to put to FCP where I hard burn subtitles. But it takes 3 days to get work done. The description how we did it takes 2 pages. Any workflows guys?

The issue still just doesn’t want to solve. Same thing on two machines. One is 3.2Ghz P4 and secondary is dual opteron. Both running on the latest updates and drivers.

Hi Boris,

Do you get normal files with more, than 1 keyframe?
The symptoms occur with any version of Virtual Dub, including latest beta VirtualDub-1.7.1 experimental.
It has been tested on two Decklink Extreme Machines with all the previous drivers and with the latest 5.9.2.
Same applies to 4.9 soft codecs.

Hi Kristian,

I tried the Virtualdub in all possible ways. The only possibility to get more than one keyframe at the output was to set the compression to DIrect Stream Copy, which repeats the source without recompression.
All the switches of the Virtualdub were set to default.

Could you please comment.

Regards,
Uku

Hi Kristian,

The sources have been different avi files with 720×576, 25 fps ,any codec, including BM coded files.
The destination will be BM mjpg avi file or 10bit uncompressed.
The symptoms occur with any version of Virtual Dub, including latest beta VirtualDub-1.7.1 experimental.
It has been tested on two Decklink Extreme Machines with all the previous drivers and with the latest 5.9.2.
Same applies to 4.9 soft codecs.

If you try to seek the file, or the jump to the end, the following message is displayed at the bottom bar of Virtualdub:
Decoding frame 415, Preloading frame 415
Longer file will give better impression.

File properties in Virtualdub shows Number of keyframes: 1

The BM 10-bit uncompressed soft encoded 4.9 files generated in Premiere work fine though.

Regards,
Uku

p.s. Another thing: could be really nice if the stand alone software codecs will allow to compress to BM mjpg and BM DV as well. Will this be possible? By this far we are generating microsoft uncompressed files in Premiere machines with no Decklink hardware. The resulting files will be used in BM hardware machines. The sources of those projects have been DV, so uncompressed is real overkill.

When it comes to reversing of fields, there is great freeware program Restream. It’s for PC. It can also change various flags of the mpeg stream.
