If you set ConvertXtoVido to break it into chapters then merge each episode back into single episodes with open and close.

I know this is not the point and I do thank you for reporting the bug, but why would you do the above?

And when you merge them back together, how do you do this? Select all in main interface, right click and select merge?

The reason to do this is so you have one file per episode instead of 4-5 episodes per file.

Method 1 (1 Step)
Select 'create one title set per chapter when loading a file' in the chapters settings
then merge selected on each group of an episode, from the main menu right click select merge files
try to convert. I let mine go 24 hours before I cancelled.

Method 2 (2 Step)
Select 'create one title set per chapter when loading a file'
convert
then start a new project
take the files you extracted and merge them they go in groups per episode
you can do multi-episodes at a time
convert

Method 3
Use the advanced editor to crop out one episode at a time.
"Not used too tedious"

Method 1 never completes
Method 2 completes most tries
Method 3 Not used

Hello Echuir ,

Thanks for your explanation. Can you tell me the names of the DVDs that you need/want to do this for?

Maybe we can find a better way of loading them to start with in the interface of our software?

Echuir,

Can you try something for one of these disks where episodes load as one main file

From your DVD source copied file select all the vob files “VTS_01_0.VOB” and higher in number (see screenshot)
Copy only these files maybe goes up to 9 and put them in the new folder you created in your desktop, now in ConvertXtoVideo do not check "split by chapter"
now add the files you moved to your desktop do they load in a different way in the interface? Does it make it so you not longer need to split by chapter and merge again?

a new beta was posted and it hopefully will fix the problem you reported Echuir, please let us know

.24. Typing in the time offset box for audio closes the box on the first character entered.

confirmed, thanks for reporting it will be fixed in the next build

Project name is changed to the first video file's name (if there is more than one chapter) after any setting is changed.

Steps to reproduce

1. Load four video files, along with SRT subtitle files.
2. Make the subtitle file active for each chapter.
3. Note that name of project is defaulted to the first file (first chapter).
4. Change it to something else. Then save the project ("save as")
5. Go to the setting - change anything. In this case, change the size of blu ray output to something bigger than 25 GB.
6. Project name changed to the name of the file.

I used Camtasia to record the steps above.

I would ** love ** to be able to hard code the subtitle onto the video with Convert X to Video.

Convert X to HD can do that beautifully, but I am hoping that the function would be available for X to Video too.

Thank you!

You can do that, some conversion profiles hard code/embed the subtitles by default, but otherwise you can create a custom profile and select this option.

Oh I didn't realize that. Thank you. It works!

I thought something was wrong (with my computer) when I tried to convert MP4 files into a blu ray disk.

With 2.0027, I found that using pre-set templates:

1. Producing a DVD works fine. I played VOB file with VLC Media Player and audio was heard.
2. An AVCHD sound 5.1 - I tried to play M2TS file - no sound.
3. A blu ray sound 5.1 - Same with M2TS file - no sound.

I then created a custom setting for blu ray - checked "copy (remux)"

1. M2TS file - set to 5.1 - no sound heard (Under general settings, [blu ray output] Audio conversion.
2. M2TS file - set to AC-3 2 channel - Sound heard!

This is regardless of what's custom setting is.

Oh, the "project name" still go back to the first video file name when a setting is changed.

I used a small (3 minutes) MP4 file.

sorry you had this problem, we uploaded another 2.0.0.27 version that should solve this problem, notice the "e" below
"http://oasis.vso-software.fr/Beta/AllVS ... .0.27e.exe"

Please try with it and let us know.

@Claire I'm missing some very basic functionality in the software. The ability to set the output folder the same as the source folder. Comes especially handy when merging multiple files spread across multiple folders like this

<title1 folder>
--<part1>
--<part2>
--<part3>
<title2 folder>
--<part1>
--<part2>
...

when setting the output path the same as the source, once could then select all the files and the merged titles would be in their corresponding folders. title1_merge.xxx would be in <title1>, title2_merge.xxx would be in <title2>

can this be achieved?

It is too dangerous so we will not provide this as default setting

It works now. Thank you!

didn't say it had to be default I'd be glad that it just could be offered, so at least the user can choose the option To prevent the source files from being overwritten the file could be named "....._merged" or of course use the name specificied before starting conversion.

Mostly it is anime episodes like Full Metal Alchemist, Eureka Seven, Sakura Wars and many others.

The other problem I have with Full Metal Alchemist is the software doesn't separate the different Angles, it plays the first angle then it plays the other angle. This is like for the opening that has the hard English credits then the hard Japanese Credits. I will be sending a sample for this one.
