     I would like to thank AVS Forum and all it's knowledgeable members, as it took me months of reading multiple threads before I started this project. I created a credits page off of my main menu to give credit dues and thanks. All of my custom patterns were created in Photoshop, converted to YUV (thanks to Ron’s rgbtouyvy utility), combined/created avs files, encoded in MeGUI to H.264, and authored in Adobe Encore. All of my patterns were tested thoroughly, making sure all conversions were done properly, and assuring reference quality. I attempted to make my disc intuitive as possible and section everything alike, together. I have a basic setup section, Misc. section, an advanced setup which includes pattern sizes 2%, 4%, 6.5%, 10%, 15%, Full Field, and 4 different APL selections. My patterns were designed using the round nearest method and will work with any software that utilizes thus method or for any software that assumes integer percentages. I created easy to read and navigable pop-up menus to cut down on time when calibrating. Please let me know if there are any problems, suggestions, or comments. Thank you for your continued support!

Thank you everyone, I am glad you guys are enjoying the disc!

 

[Wouter73]

As a Chromapure user and plasma owner I am very curious about this disc. Any idea on the ETA for the AVCHD version?

 

[Wouter73]

I always thought it was possible to write a bluray authored disc to dvd as long as the size was within dvd spec. Is this true?

That is correct and the current size of my disc will fit on a dvd. However, after speaking with Nathan (the author of the AVSHD709 disc) I will have to tweak my pop-up menus and a few other details to be compatible with the AVCHD format.

I friend just send me the link for the disc. Looking forward to give it a try.


Thanks Ryan for sharing your efforts.

If reauthored as a AVCHD pop up menus are not supported, and even if it is a true AVCHD some BD players have a problem with hi-bit rate video, PS3 being one of them. As far as burning a BD structure disc to DVD is doable, and most players will play it with out a problem, but here again its a well known fact that Sonys and Panaasonics have a hard time playing these type of discs.


The easiest way to reauthored it as an AVCHD is runing the BDMV folder through MultiAVCHD, it will not reencode the video, it will just change it to the correct folder and file structure, and of course pop up menus will no longer work.

I believe AVCHD uses what some people term in-mux menus. Multi-AVCHD has been updated once since I used it, but previously it would not convert the Encore Mpeg2 menus to AVC video to be compatible with certain players. I don't know if Encore has gotten away from Mpeg2 menus on newer versions or if the latest Multi-AVCHD will now convert them, but a couple years ago it was a consideration for widespread compatability.

Actually I think the Multi-AVCHD modified version I identified as AVCHD still has pop up menus on it that will work on some players.

 

[superleo]

MultiAVCHD uses in-mux menus if you are creating menus with it, if you are using it in "Bluray re-author mode", it will only put the correct folder and file structure for compatibility, it will not re-encode anything else... video, audio or menus.


My experience when re-authoring for AVCHD compatibility has always being the loss of pop-menus; although with a limited amount of players, so it might well be that some players are capable still using the pop-up feature. It would be worth a shot.

For a perfect Calibration Disc it's necessary:

1) need to remove all signatures - because they distort the measurement results (for sure Panasonic VT30/GT30/ST30) and insert the same intermediate video ( 30 sec or more) between patterns

2) add 1% pattern size

3) add color checker (as GCD - 12 patterns)

4) add equal energy patterns (Spears & Munsil HD Benchmark Blu-Ray 2nd Edition) for gamma

5) add the right combination constant average picture level (APL) and a constant average luminance (AL) .

6) maybe add 5% pattern size

With great respect for your work, Andrei from Ukraine.

Actually the Calman 5 colour checker patterns in sequence would be more suited.

These are what i use on my own custom pattern disks.


There are some issues with the colour sequences in the Apl selection, displays white, the magenta, then reverts back to the menu!

Hi Anta.


What signatures are you referring to here? The pattern labels presumably?
