No Tuner Available Error In WinTv, Using Hauppauge HD-PVR 2

[gll99]

I now have a blu ray folder (Certificate, etc), but understand you cannot burn it to blu ray with aac audio, without problems. It has to be AC3, is this correct? I've been trying to convert in AvchdCoder, but it keeps giving me the error when converting audio.

I now always capture to ac3 but I believe I used either ffmpeg command line to convert to ac3 or just used ffmpegGUI.

I used multiAVCHD, then burned with IMGBurn, but I can only view the disc on my PC. I didn't create a top menu, as I don't need/want one. The audio is out of sync, when played (Aiseesoft Blu Ray Player), but I'm getting closer.

Did you burn the disc as UDF 2.50?

[V Bot]

I did. Not sure why the out of sync error. Still researching, etc.

I take it you converted the audio in MultiAVCHD. Was the original capture video with aac out-of-sync or only the final version converted by MultiAVCHD. ? Is it a constant amount ie... 250ms early or late all the way through or does it start out ok and get worse with time? If it's constant you can apply a + or - delay to the audio in MultiAVCHD. If it starts to lag at a certain point later in time look for a glitch in the playback video just before the out-of-sync begins. That means it's a bad capture. I had that happen all of a sudden on a few videos a couple of months ago. It fixed itself after I reinstalled the latest up to date software and drivers from Hauppauge. There was some kind of hiccup that happened once or twice during the capture especially if I maxed out the bitrate but it seems fine now.

As far as playback on standalone players it can be hit and miss. What media are you burning on? what brand and model BR player do you have? Does it support AVCHD / BD discs on the media you are using? For my 1st BD formatted disc on DVD I recall I had to run a patcher that's why I always select AVCHD now since my 2 cheap Seiki BD players support those fine on all media types.

What option did you choose in MultiAVCHD to create the disc format? (my choice) AVCD Strict or Bluray, other?

Yes, I converted the audio to AC3. The original capture is right on. It is constant (out of sync), with the converted file. I'm using Verbatim 25Gb recordable discs. I have a Sylvania blu ray player, which I've played back up blu rays on, with no problems.

Hope those are BD-RE for all these tests

As I said the sync fix should be easy as long as you know by how much the audio plays too early or too late. I use pot player to play the out of sync .m2ts file on the disc since it has an option to temporarily adjust the audio sync during playback (hold shift and press > or <) the total amount of advancement or audio delay in ms will show in the top left corner of the playback screen. You can fix the delay externally with various tools but after that, in MultiAVCHD, the properties button will open the window you need where you can select the audio tab, click on the track in the text box, set the delay and press change. (I'm going by memory here).

btw) Why not try AVCHD Strict this time in MUltiAVCHD to see if that works for you.

[V Bot]

No, they aren't. Luckily, I've only burned to one disc. I really need to get a BD-RE. I'll look into the audio delay.

[gll99]

You may already be planning to do this but.....

Since you are not using BD/RE discs, after you think you have fixed the sync issue I suggest you play the video on your computer to double check just make sure it's ok before burning.

[V Bot]

I definitely will. You know I opened the file I did in TSMuxeR, not the original TS file. I may try that along with what you suggested, in MultiAVCHD. Trying to install Pot Player, but it says my version of DirectX is out of date (Do I want the latest update). I checked yes, but installation fails.

[V Bot]

I took the original TS file and ran it through MultiAVCHD, played teh file in VLC Media Player and it's in sync. Now, I shall burn it to disc. (Crosses Fingers).

[V Bot]

Okay, now I get the video (on my stand alone player), but audio after chapter 8, is gone. What a headache!
Original TS file is good.

What happens when you play the disc past chapter 8 on your computer?

[V Bot]

The same thing as the other, no sound towards the end of the video. Sound is fine, all the way throughout the TS file.

This is what I see in the log. I noticed it says "Media Split Set At 4000MiB point". Do I need to set an Audio Split in MultiAVCHD? Also, "2 tracks found"...

You're getting the condensed version. Heck of a time, front page and tools ok but the forum kept crapping out and lost my comments 2 times before this.


The 2 tracks is normal to me. It's in my logs too. 1 video and 1 audio.

General MiB reference

Look under the "Fit All" button in the main menu and note the transcode options for output. I set mine at 25GB or whatever is appropriate for the discs I plan to use. That message may have something to do with that but also are any of your drives fat32 (4gb file limit) whether it is where the software resides, workspace or final destination hdd?

AAC conversion:
I don't ever recall check marking the eac3to option within MultiAVCHD to do the conversion although most of the time (when I must) I do it externally. If you still prefer to convert the audio within MultiAVCHD then I would try it without the eac3to option being selected. It will output ac3 anyway.

EDIT:
btw) Just for reference ... Some of the tools I use when converting audio externally. In the tools section you may find some one-size-fits-all tools that are more simple but this is what I do. To each his own.

To demux I use TSMuxeRGui, or TsRemux or tsDemux whichever one works best with the input video file. Sometimes one or 2 have issues with the aac audio so the demux doesn't work that's why I switch. I then convert the demuxed audio with ffmpegGui. I may or may not have to adjust the lag with delaycut and then remux the video with tsMuxerGui by inputting the .264 and new ac3 audio to create the avchd. When I use MultiAVCHD to author with the original file I just import the fixed ac3 audio and delete the aac audio track within MultiAVCHD.

Okay, so I did click the fit all tab and checked BD 25GB, but it's been stuck in transcoding for over an hour with no change in percentage. My drives have enough capacity.

I learned a lesson with my 1st attempt with MultiAVCHD it isn't so much about capacity. I was using a temp directory on C and it was formatted fat32 which has a 4gb filesize limit. The app locked on the demux. Are they formatted NTFS. I'm not saying that's your problem but the encode shouldn't take forever unless you set a transcode option that's not evident here. Look in the directories you assigned as temp and final and see if any files are there. After a refresh do the bytes change. The program creates a bunch of new directories then demuxes the 2 streams into the temp dir, then it convert whatever needs to be and then remuxes the final .m2ts into the output directory you selected. There should be activity in the process log window. What does it show so far? What you are going through is why I capture AC3 in Showbiz but whenever I can't I reprocess the aac audio before using MultiAVCHD or more often tsMuxeRGui.

Since you didn't even need a menu it would have been just as easy to create the avchd in tsMuxergui after converting the audio. Unless I am putting multiple videos on 1 disc this is what I usually do. It's basically the same process just a bit more manual but you get to check at each step to see the problems.

[V Bot]

I'll try my external drive. Sorry to sound helpless, but I didn't see an option for AC3 in Showbiz.

[V Bot]

Here are my Showbiz screens:

[gll99]

I'm under the impression your previous cap was done with wintv7. Right? There is an option that says to prefer AC3 but I'm not sure if that applies to component or just hdmi.

Have you tried a short test cap with showbiz to see what you get for audio. I can't help there since I capture over HDMI and can't really compare for you. Before i bought the 1512 I was using the 1212 and ac3 was available over component. I wish my memory was better but I can't recall what I did when I 1st bought the 1512 and had to use component before I bought the special hdmi splitter in late spring maybe it doesn't support it.

btw) It may not matter for this but I note your driver and firmware aren't right up to date.

[V Bot]

The last cap was with showbiz. Component. I need to hook up the HDMI to the PVR and see if the option for AC# comes up. I do own an HDMI splitter that I got from Monoprice. Need to break it out.
