Re: Advanced Bluray/HDDVD Workflow & Features Discussion

I've been using Clown_BD for the initial eac3to and tsmuxer portions to create a single m2ts out of the ripped BR. Then using HB to convert that m2ts to mkv (h.264/AC3). Pretty straight forward process but it takes a fair amount of time for the rip+clown_bd (extract/mux)+HB (encode). I've used that...

Thats for the recommendation, but it didn't work. No worries I have the Blu-ray disc anyway.

Re: Increase sound volume

Did you try increasing the sound in iTunes by using get info? Under options there is a volume adjustment and you can go up to +100% volume. It also changes the volume on synced devices (at least it does on my iPod, should be the same for iPhones). You should be careful of this as you can start to d...

Re: Increase sound volume

You may just need to get a better set of headphones. I live in NYC and most the time have the volume close to max, and I own a set of heavely closed Sennheisers. If your using the ones that came with the iPhone you are at a loss from the start!

Re: Problem with "weird" subtitles

Sounds to me like you need to disable auto crop in the picture settings, and set all factors to zero.

If the subtitles are in the orginal picture but under the image, you will loose them with auto crop on.

Re: mp4 to ATV conversion Audio Problem SVN2354

I downloaded the test clips from the Steve's Digicams' review of this camera. I compared the 24fps HB output with the native 30fps. It's jumpier but that's what down converting the frame rate looks like. Going from 30 to 24 means dropping 20% of the frames - 1 frame out of every 5. The current HB d...

Do you mean I should select this in the encoding options?

If you could let me know, I'd be glad to try.

Re: mp4 to ATV conversion Audio Problem SVN2534

My other question is, is there a good way of converting from 30fps, to 24fps to keep 720p with out it looking jumpy? Use the current head (svn2368 or later) and specify 24fps in the framerate pulldown on the video settings tab. I compiled the latest version as of 11 o'clock last night. I have tried...

These are great to drag and drop into iMovie etc. If I convert the file a RAW file from the camera to run on an AppleTV via Quicktime Pro or via iMovie (direct send to iTunes) I get Audio fine.

Re: Best audio for the long run?

Answering the questions from your initial post. AAC isn't any better or worse, although if you're interested in quality and don't mind the marginal increase in filesize I'd go with AC3 passthrough. The reason the audio is quieter with AAC is that the original AC3 track uses DRC hinting , try bumpin...
