AVS HD 709 - Blu-ray & MP4 Calibration - Page 82

Just downloaded V.2.0 and put it into a DVD, played perfectly on Magnavox player, still need to test on two other players. Nice touch with the video calibration from HDNation.

Out of topic but I think looks super cool to have the disk on its own custom case and label.





These can be saved to your local drive and printed out.

EDIT: Edited to fully represent AVS709 patterns
Also edited to remove center green circle from disc label

Indeed very cool!! Bravo!

I downloaded the HDMV ISO file and burned to BD-R and DVD-R

The player is the Sony S350.

The Sony had no issues playing both pieces of media. Therefore the DVDM question mark can be removed for that player.

This is a great resource and I greatly appreciate it. I had this brilliant idea that has failed miserably for me, I'm quite stumped. Instead of burning a Blu-Ray disc or DVD disc, I had the idea of just mounting the .iso file with Virtual CloneDrive (free just like Daemon Tools but better) and playing this blu ray with Cyberlink PowerDVD 10. Cyberlink will not play the mounted Blu-Ray. It comes up with the error: "There is a disk with a unsupported format in drive J".

I've tried mounting both the HDMV blu ray and the AVCHD blu ray and both won't work with Cyberlink.

Warning Nerd Speak Below:
I went as far as to learn how to re-author my own blu-ray (I've done it before but I haven't done it enough to remember how to do it properly) to make it work. There is something wrong with the way the Blu-ray was created (if it works in a Blu-Ray player, it should also work in Cyberlink). This is where I'm really stumped... I scan the disc with BDinfo and it gives me TONS of huge MPLS files, not to mention there are over 200 M2TS files. So importing files into tsMuxer to try and create a new blu ray disc is REALLY daunting. You can't import more than one file at a time. I've tried it and it won't do it. So I would have to add over 200 files, one at a time, to even see if I can make a doable blu ray disc. Not to mention I've tried working with Ripbot264 (which I absolutely love) but it also can't accept more than one M2TS file.

Alluringreality, any suggestions? If you could make this work with Cyberlink's PowerDVD, this would be AWESOME! I could just mount the .iso file, play the Blu-Ray, and output via my HDMI graphics card. This will open up the calibration utilities' accessibility to those who don't have a Blu-Ray burner.

It's almost 3am in the morning, I might tackle more of this tomorrow.

Please see link for report.

Yes, I downloaded the HDMV.7z from that location. I also have the latest and greatest PowerDVD program, which is updated. The mounted HDMV .iso has the certificate folder included.

This is the info that PowerDVD gives about the mounted disc:

Perhaps its having an issue with that?

You mean later today, since 3am is after midnight

What Winblows OS are you using?

After I sleep it's a new day.

Windows 7.

Even if I was using Windows XP, I still know how to make Blu Ray work (I assume that's why you are asking). You have to download the Toshiba UDF drivers (Here). I'm MAD deep in the computer game.

Ah ha! You nailed it on the head. I downloaded the new Virtual CloneDrive application (I didn't realize I was running a really old version) and now it works with PowerDVD. This is awesome now. Thanks for this great tool, I can't wait to use it now. In your post here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showp...postcount=2384 you should tell people that they can mount the image as another option. (assuming they have PowerDVD which is the only thing that isn't freeware...)

Cheers

It has been edited to fully represent AVSHD709 screens/patterns. It is not my intention for it to be used as an official cover/label, just for anybody that might find it useful.

And thank you for your efforts to bring calibration to the masses, it makes our hobby a lot more enjoyable.

Thanks for these, but is there a possibility to get the label image without the green circle in the middle? It will appear on my discs, as they are hub printable media.

Thanks for the link, but unfortunately, one needs to be a registered member of that forum to download the two files. At this point in time, I have no desire to register. Are those files available elsewhere?

I believe this is the same thing: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...p?soid=1284868 read the instructions in the other link to install it properly. Its not as easy as running the .exe file if I remember correctly (I have since passed on from Windows XP).

Thanks, I've downloaded it and created a text file with the instructions.

I will be dragged kicking and screaming to Win7. There are programs that I have that will only work under XP as they will never be updated (obsolete hardware that works perfectly well, so I'm not buying a newer model to go on an OS that I don't care for).

Contrary to the idiotic Win7 PeeCee ads, they never asked me what I wanted in Win7. It surely isn't MY Win7.

Just to follow up I am using latest version of virtual clone 5.4.4.0 and latest version of tmt3 185. I have tried both the avchd 1.3b and hdmv 2.0a with tmt3 and neither work. Both enter an infinite loop between play & pause while the screen is black. I have burned the two isos to their respective media and both work in my standalone blu-ray player but exhibit the same behavior as the isos when viewed in my htpc blu-ray player.

Anyone with tmt3 185 can confirm this works for him/her?

Here is a label with no green center circle, for those of you that print directly to the disc.

Which near black field should be visible with properly adjusted contrast?

thx

bob

Sorry, I meant brightness! So should 1% NB be visible?


thx

bob

Thanks.

Is there any other way than printing directly to the disc these days?

GREAT WORK on the label!!!!

Thanks for your troubles. I now know that it works and that it is something with my installation. I'll investigate further.

I have a lightscribe burner and after the first batch of discs, I'll never use it again (CD or DVD). It takes forever to "print" the disc. But that isn't the worse part. Besides the lack of color, the contrast ratio sucks. Unlike the print ads that showed nice blacks, you can't get black, you can only get gray. It is like having NTSC setup on top of NTSC setup. The CDs were a little darker than the DVDs. IMHO, false advertising.

I used to use paper labels for CDs, back before printers could print on media. at least the cheaper consumer printers. I've only used Epson printers for media, along with AI to do the artwork. The Blu-ray inkjet surface media has finally come down in price to a point where it is viable. Some have reported that the thicker media jams their Epson printer. I'm guessing that is the older printer, as the R1800 has no issues at all.
