Getting a VC-1 file ready for advanced content authoring

Hi all,

I just started to author advanced hddvd content but i vailed in getting a valid video content to test my first project.

is it possible to multiplex a VC-1 file with the Sonic authoring system for standard HD content in a way that i can use it for my first advanced content project I tried to import the vc-1 file into sonic, generated a simple autostart HDDVD, multiplexed it and used the HVDVD_TS folder for my advanced content project but it didn't work. The Nero Showtime softwareplayer diplayed the menu correctly but didn't play the video. I also tried to burn a dvd rom and inserted it into my Thosiba HD_DVD player but it just displayed the disc error 0x4095C501.

Can anybody help me

thx

mikeret

    the last CineVision use a old version of mainconcept encoder (before summer).
    But there is a new encoder core 2.1 available from Mainconcept.
    - In MPEG2, there is other better software...

    For bitrate viewer and other information you can use, in H264, Elecard "Eye" software.

    All others software is most cheaper than CineVision solution....

    And there is another software to mux Advanced Content (other than Scenarist ACA).

    To test video (only video), you can use the DCA software (approved by DVD Forum)

    So which software can mux Advanced Content (other than Scenarist ACA) which is cheaper and can be purchased

    The other difficulty is how to find out what are the settings for the appropriate encoding mpeg2, VC1 and H.264 if you don't have Cinevision...

  • J P R

    So you need Sonic HD-DVD authoring... its also not cheap..:-):

  • THE RAZI

    I think the most powerful encoding tool actually is Sonic Cinevision... but unfortunately not cheap...

  • Bisjom

    Most of (first) HD DVD were not made with Scenarist ACA.
    Sure for Universal, Warner, Pathe, StudioCanal.

    *gg* that was my question --> Are there any other tools avaliable for multiplexing or do I have to order the sonic scenarist....

    but thx for your reply bluedvd

  • clint 2

    Actually no other than Sonic for advanced content authoring that you can purchase...

  • RoadGlide

    You can download small trial files with VC1, MPEG2 and H.264 at:

  • AndrewVos

    thx a lot bluedvd

    but I have to convert my own files into valid advanced content video files so i need a powerful tool for that....

  • Hoon1234

    I don't say that the other Advanced Content Multiplexer it's cheaper...

    And test the Mainconcept software you will see a HD DVD preset (and BD preset too).
    For VC1, the MS tool software is develop for this application .

    To find the setting all are on the HD DVD white book.

  • dakerson

    I am pretty sure you need to use the Sonic Advanced Content Authoring (SACA) software.

  • helsingfors

    thx for your reply bluedvd but I'm not searching for an encoding tool...

    I think it's not possible to just but the vc-1 file in the HDDVD_Ts folder and refer to it in my playlist.xml file and it will work on a hardware player. The tool I'm looking for should enable me to multiplex the files to get valid .EVO and .MAP files for advanced content authoring...
