Hi all,
I have problems with playing back 24p HD content in a *.ts container.
But first, here is my approach:
--------------------------------------
In order to rip my BluRay disc to the hard drive I extract the video and audio streams from the original BluRay disc into a *.ts container using tsMuxer. This has the following advantages:
* .ts files can be played back in MP directly (no need for external player such as PowerDVD)
* reduced filesize compared to .iso image of complete BluRay (usually 12 -16 GB for the ripped .ts file)
* faster and no loss of image quality compared to .mkv re-encode
However, in order to make the .ts files playable from MP with HW acceleration enabled I have to:
* rename "*.ts" to "*.ts.wmv" for VC-1 encoded video streams
==> due to the .wmv extension the "MPC Video Decoder" (the standalone DirectShow filter from MPC-Homecinema) will be used
* rename "*.ts" to "*.ts.mp4" for h264 encoded video streams
==> due to the .mp4 extension the "Cyberlink H264/AVC Decoder" (the DirectShow filter shipped with PowerDVD) will be used
For both approaches (*.ts.wmv and *.ts.mp4) Hardware acceleration works flawlessly (~4-10% CPU load on a 1GHz pentium4 processor with a ATI HD 2400 graphics card).
Okay, but here is the problem:
---------------------------------------
Whenever I play one of the ripped .ts.wmv or .ts.mp4 files in MP it looks like the playback rate seems to be always 50Hz instead of 24Hz (minimal, but constant stutter every second). In other DirectShow based players (e.g. MPC-Homecinema) it plays smooth using the same decoder filters.
It would be the perfect solution (at least for me) for playing back BluRay / HD-DVD content directly in Mediaportal with minimum ripping effort and hardware accelleration working.
Please let me know if there is a solution for this problem. Any other ideas / approaches for easy ripping and viewing of HD content are welcome!
