Yippy. After b****ing hard time on doing my own gui. Finally created a way to do chapter images like subler on mac.

Mac limitation is NTFS above 4gb copy

Now no more limitations.Can make it exactly like itunes except slightly bigger to compensate that i am taking from blu-ray while apple is from lossless so can make the vid quality either abt the same or better.

Full Chapter Image+English SDH Sub+Multi Audio

Transformers



Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen





Sorry for the low res tint thingy. Its a LG remote App Screen Capture on Ipad issue.

All Encode was from pure bd with highest settings for VC-1 in accordance with iTunes 1080p.
Personally i think Apple is right Encodes should be in High Profile 4.0 rather than 4.1 for 1080p.
4.1 is suitable for BD only.

Transformers - Dark of the Moon

thats kindda long.Avidemux was just the beginning. Atleast u saw how fast is muxing. I've gone further. I now encode blu-rays. Reason being found it will be higher than the mkv remux.

the reason not for the guide is 2.
1. Ppl wont appreciate it.
2. Just give u a glimpse will talk about one topic below. Before u encode u need to arm ure self with knowledge on codec, compression etc. Stop this one click gui.

Ok lets talk abit about high profile 4.1. Blu-rays comes in 3 formats. MPEG-2, VC-1 and AVC High Profile 4.1. Nowadays more on the last two. VC-1 has a lot of smoothning but its pretty good. Example Dark Knight, Transformers 1,2,3. High Profile has better compression and better motion estimation to distribute bits and has better capabilities to reproduce lossless video source.Y i said apple is smart. They choose high profile 4.0 for their 1080p. A lot of mkv's out there are using high profile 4.1 on small size. This encoders dont realise how to use High Profile to the advantage to get a better compression throughout the film. Also hmm a lot of new mkv realeases are bad. How i know bad?? lets put a side what i see is what i get. A lot of ppl are fooled that size of mkv or bitrate shows the quality. Before u talk about bitrate u should look at the compression settings they used in x264. U can find this in mediainfo. Like mine is



The most important setting u need to find is
Subme
nvr download any mkv with avc with subme less than 10/11. I do 11. Some say placebo but i find theres a difference. Btw some even sillier they use subme 10/11 without using trellis. It will default back to 9 even when it writes as 10/11

Subme 9 encoding of transformers = 2 hours
Subme 10 encoding of transformers = 6-7 hours
Subme 11 encoding of transformers = 10 hours.
All on a i7 4.5ghz 100% running on 8gb 2133 CL7.

What my secret is i use custom first pass which u wont see it depending on different type of film. Types meaning, Animation, Action Drama, Still film , Grainy Film, VC1, AVC etc.

How to check ure codecs. Download install mediainfo. Run mediainfo and tick the option for windows explorer extension to make life easier.

Ok here is anotherthing. A lot of ppl think running high profile 5.1 on their encoding from blu-ray or mkv source to make it smaller will increase their quality. It doesnt.

However its just a matter or time for compressionist moves from 8bit encoding to 10bit.
Theres a difference in size while retaining quality. Only thing other than PC nothing will play it atm.

Ok another daft thing on encoding. U will hear dumbass saying CRF better than AVG bitrate etc.
What they dont understand all is this.Encoding for video has two ways
1. Constant Bitrate
2. Variable Bitrate

in variable Bitrate has a subset of 3.

lol getting long will end it here. as i said if write this down will take awhile.

U can see from this thread and others nobody cares. They all patting their backs with crappy netflix and hulu.

nah i can teach u in 10 mins lol. whatsapp or call me with
pm u the number
i am free right now.

Added on September 12, 2012, 6:24 pmgood encoders will write the x264 settings.

Normally releasers like blow all wont cause they are just aiming to be the first to rip blu-ray release etc.

pretty good.
new airplay options and itune acct switching.
overscan option ( damn important for pixel mapping)

i am still wondering what they meant by SDH support.

subs are subs. SDH shouldnt that be a itunes movie sub thingy. How is it related to appletv firmware??

Added on September 27, 2012, 4:27 pmhmm first con on apple tv ios 5.1

Sound:
When set to dolby digital as default. When u play a movie. No sound.
To get it have to go back to stereo and then back to Dolby

Also Last time the Languages for Dual Audio was both Labeled as English with Dolby being on the higher track.

Now its labeled as English (Surround)

interesting update on the new itunes and ipad remote.
remote got better

itunes tv shows def.
movie better in one sense but the thumbnail size and color background according to artwork annoying

Warning!!! - 1920x1200

Painfully lol changed all my TVshows to square artwork from itunes server.

BTW have u noticed all the artwork before 2012 are 600x600

only 2012/2013 seasons are high res 2400x2400

Its the default for ATV and itunes 11. Used to be same as movies as Tall orientation but now is squared.

Apple TV is a hobbyist IPTV.
simple

http://live.tonton.com.my/livetv/#tv9

On ure iphone etc. thn airplay it to ure atv

hmm wrong answer

U can " Airplay " anything that is running quicktime on mp4/m4v/3gp/FLV ...example youtube etc. Most online streaming sides use quicktime. Only a few use java based.

So if netflix is running quicktime which it should be .. no prob.. same goes pps , pptv etc.

has anybody here successfully done a repeater using non Apple Extreme/Espress base station.

I get the airplay icon but no homesharing and remote.

Using tplink 4300 , 1043nd and 801n.

I thought havind WDS repeater instead Bridge would have helped but unfortunately no. Good thing now the whole house get full 80-100% strength. Lowest on VIP20 i ever got at the corner of the garden was 15/15.

thats false on cover pic n movie. btw om u

Hmm latest IOS seems to have limited playback. Before i could stream a 1080p content to even a 3gs/ipad 2 etc.

now cant. it only shows 720p content.

caching dude

iphone 5, i5 etc caches on the mem n around 256mb

appletv caches on that 8gb-whatever size the os uses.

hmm no think u didnt read what i said

caching dude. iphone caches on the mem .. so its faster but limited like 256mb (guessing but this is what i saw on my ipad 3/4 jb mem thingy on sbsettings)

while ure appletv a bit slower but it caches to its internal hdd. slower but a lot more so ...

mem is faster than ssd
so caching on it is faster

but ssd can hold more of ure cache so u can have everything from stream video file on it.

example a typical dimension mkv is 1gb convert to m4v
so if i stream it to my phone it wont have cache the whole tv show of 1gb so it cache 256mb very fast.. until a point i am watching it reaches that time segment it will cache another 256mb.

on apple tv however from the time i start it will cache the whole 1gb into appletv. This is cause appletv will cache into its ssd. It has a inbuilt 8gb ssd.

the rate of caching. iphone is faster than apple tv but limited space as to apple tv.

Quicktime . Mov etc
Just Make it on a playlist on ure phone/idevice. Set Repeat. Stream.
