Subs not in output folder v0.2.122

[mikemonello]

This version puts the subtitle files in the source folder rather than the output folder, which (I think) might be causing it to hang without giving an error.

That’s odd, it should have been fixed and has worked for me every time.

Technically, they are generated in the source but moved to the output folder. That’s a limitation of the pgsrip library I use. It doesn’t have an output folder option. I opened an issue with them. Either way, after the sub stage is finished, they should have been moved to the destination. Can you send screen shots of the settings, output log and folder view? BTW, this is only with mkvs, since they are the source for the pgsrip.

Ahh, OK. I'm trying to get a good file of Titanic 3D, which is on two BDs. I've had trouble merging spatial files without additional processing, which is why I was ripping to MKV, merging, and then converting. I'm running rips off the ISOs now and will try to merge the spatial files without losing anything and see how that goes.

[cbusillo]

Use MP4Box, make sure it's the 2.2.1 we installed. Other tools will likely lose the spatial data. 2.4 seems to cause the seeking issue sometimes.

@mikemonello Do the subs end up in the right place? Were you just reporting that they appeared in the wrong place, but thats part of the design for now? This is the issue I made on the pgs library.

As far as merging two disc movies, I thought long and hard about it, but didn't have a great plan for it.

MikeMonello: if you ever get the “merged” Titanic 3D steps figured out, I’d personally really like to get those steps.

[cbusillo]

@kalanihelekunihi I would encode each separate then use MP4Box 2.2.1 to concat the videos. We use MP4Box to mux the video so it probably wont break the spatial data. 2.2.1 should be installed on your system if you are using my software.

I finally got Titanic properly ripped. Using the current version (0.2.122). The workflow I used was:

1. Rip both BD3D discs to ISO clones using DVDFab
2. Rip both ISO files to 3DMKV using MakeMKV, selecting only the English language soundtracks and subtitles, and ensuring both video tracks are selected.
3. Merge the 3DMKV files using Shutter Encoder, which does not repack or reprocess the files.
4. Ran the merged MKV through BD_to_AVP, using standard quality options and selecting only "Continue Processing on Error" and "Remove Extra Languages".

All of the errors came from rips where I had selected to "transcode audio" so that's where the issue is.

Closing the subs issue, since it was already "fixed" by moving after creation. I have an open issue in pgsrip. If they add a destination folder option, I will update bd-to-avp to output directly into the correct folder. Still thinking about your transcoding issue. I believe you have another open issue.
