I started off with this thread, but found the forum getting asked the same question over and over again about seamless branching, audio overlaps etc etc. It seems that there are plenty of users who can't really be bothered with the command line. This is a real shame.

However, even presented with the answer on a plate; some users still didn't get it. I'd been thinking about a GUI for some time, but not really being a programmer in this field lacked the tools, energy and interest.

However, I did it. Here's the 81st public release:

Clown_BD - Another Handy Little Program, No Clowning Around!!!


Previous Versions
Clown_BD v0.79 (ca 324kb)

Here are some of the 1st prototype screen shots. Since then, it's advanced some.

To sum it up in one sentence: Clown_BD will enable you to extract (on the fly) the main movie and language streams of your choice, resulting in either transport streams (for Media Jukebox), an ISO image (for PowerDVD) or even a burned BD disk (for standalone players).

Input
  • Input - HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Structures, MPLS or single M2TS/TS/EVO/MKV files

Audio
  • Extract True-HD
  • Extract LPCM
  • Extract AC3 core (from True-HD) or DTS Core (From DTS-MA)
  • Convert audio to AC3/DTS (Optionally Choose bitrate)
  • Change language of audio/subtitle stream
  • Change order of audio/subtitle stream automatically based on preferences, and manual override

Subtitle
  • Extract Subtitles
  • Extract Blu-Ray Forced Subtitles
  • Convert HD-DVD Subtitles to Blu-Ray
  • Automatically Activate Forced Subtitles In Your Preferred Language

Chapters
  • Extract Chapters

Other Features

Create ISO or Burn To Disc
  • Call to imgburn to create ISO
  • Burn directly with ImgBurn

Multilingual User Interface
  • Dutch User Interface

There are still some todos:
  • Call eac3to for (at least 1st playlist) immediately after 1st sucessfull call - preserving each subsquent call
  • Convert BD structure to VCD & SVCD format (just a joke)

Known Bugs:
  • None



Screen Shots

Select some options:
Options_EN.jpg


Select your default locations:
Step1_EN.jpg


eac3to is called, and the playlists are presented to you. Select one and proceed:
Step2_EN.jpg


eac3to is called, and the video, audio and subtitle streams are presented to you. Select what you want and proceed.
Step3_EN.jpg


eac3to is called and saves all the streams you selected.

a meta file for tsMuxer are created & tsMuxeR is executed.

If AVCHD mode is selected, then all files are renamed to 8.3 standard.

If you selected a .ISO image, then ImgBurn is called after after tsMuxer is completed.

Finally a sound is played - especially usefull if you leave you PC unattended, so you can hear it from another room.



Thanks to:

Please redownload Version 0.52, as a new translation has just been included.

Best Regards,
BurnerHEAD


This post is not necessary anymore, because the german translation is included in ClownBD itself.

I reserve this space for future translations to be posted here. Please report bugs and critism in the german thread for ClownBD.

Have fun using ClownBD!
BurnerHEAD


Code:
New german translation file is included in the attachement. I made some minor and major fixes, so make sure you always use the latest version.

The first file ("ClownBDv032b_german_lang.zip") only contains the updated german .LANG file. Replace it with the very buggy one from v0.31b.

The second file("ClownBDv032b_german.zip") now contains the original ClownBD.exe file, the updated german translation, all other translations, the changelog.txt and the Pcm2Tsmu.exe file.

Version 0.32b. Please update your german translation. Version 0.31b from the official website does NOT contain the newest translation.
Newest translation is included since Version 0.32b. I don't upload the files anymore, because they are included now.

If I bring out a new version, I will be posted here first. Probably some days before it will be integrated. So stay tuned.

Attention: The Tooltips have been fully translated. But it's still beta, because I worked very long on it, got tired, fell asleep and finished the work napping. So it's likely that I broke something.

Have fun!
BurnerHEAD

How to install:
Unzip the file(s) and put it in the directory of ClownBD. Done.
If there's already a .lang file just replace it.

If you mean me, no problem :D

Is the version you have listed above a change to the one you PM'ed me earlier? If so I can download and test this for you to on a few new BRD's over the w/end.
 
yes, it's very different from the version you saw...

Thanks.
 
will give it a whirl and report back.

Thanks for the work on this. For guys like me who prefer to fire and forget and not play with 3 or 4 different programs this is a real boon.

:rock:
 
I just PMed you with results of my test, and here you already have a newer version. I'll check out this one as well.

Thanks a lot for your work on this.:)
 
i tried it today, movie ("wanted") was mounted with VCD (drive "q") but i couldn`t take a playlist there (see screenshot). is this a problem in fact of the movie (BDInfo gives me two playlist files for the main movie "wanted")?

i need to see all .LOG files produced.
 
i need to see all .LOG files produced.

there was just one LOG file produced

the whole BD was stored in an iso file, mounted with VCD (drive letter "Q"), so my "movie location" in Clown_BD was "Q". next step was the first window shown up before (Schritt 2).

Please update your eac3to. we're on version 3.03 now. I forgot to mention in the 1st post that you need to have version 2.81 or greater (but always the newest is the best, unless you hear otherwise).

Please also download the latest version of the GUI

thanks for your help, now it works :):clap:

but the last progress (tsMuxer Progress) ist very slow, maybe because of the destiantion - stream files and output for tsMuxer take the same folder at one hard drive. normally i work with two hard drives, one for the stream files and the other for the directory of tsMuxer. is it possible to make this in the feature so we can put one destination for each?

regards

tomcam
 
I've looked at eac3to, but it seems like you need a bunch of additional components for it to fully work... some of which are quite expensive; the Surcode DTS encoder, for one. And the Nero HD-DVD/Blu-Ray plugin isn't even available anymore... how are you supposed to get that?

eac3to works with no extras just fine with AC3, it's only DTS that has to have surecode. i don't think there's a free workaround, sorry.

any eac3to specific questions, then it's best to ask on the eac3to on doom9 (link in the application)

maybe, but it also depends on the speed of your drive & system.

i too put the final film on a 2nd drive, but decided against it.

i'll put it on my todo list, but i can't say when it'll happen.
 
I've done this now...

very nice work, thanks a lot :rock:

could it be that this "step" - or better progess called "a meta & BAT file for tsMuxer are created & executed:" takes even longer as it would do normally with tsMuxer? (have version 004 tested today)

the progress with eac3to runs very quick now with different harddrives, but when that progress is finished and the window with tsMuxer comes up it`s going very slowly. destrination was "bluray" structure, no iso ...

regards

works fine on my machine. it's not doing anything irregular or different to tsMuxer...
 
I tried to convert a HDDVD to Bluray, but I didn`t get any subtitles to work. Any suggestions?
 
works fine on my machine. it's not doing anything irregular or different to tsMuxer...

tried it with another "simple" BD (Clown_bd 05) and it worked well in all progresses. next try was again with the movie "wanted", the first tree steps passed without problems but when the window from tsMuxer comes it stopped working. have to try more if i can find the reason why.

:)

tried it again, but no luck - tsMuxer doesn`t start working at that movie. if i make it "the old way" with tsMuxer it`ll work, strange ...
