Trying to create a AVCHD version of -1's Silver Screen, I'm running into issues...

Has anyone managed to make a AVCHD version of Team Negative 1’s Silver Screen edition?

I haven’t, and I’ve tried multiple programs (tsMuxer, AVCHDCoder, BDtoAVCHD, multiAVCHD). tsMuxer makes the video run at a ridiculous framerate (like its very speed up) and has no audio, AVCHDCoder desyncs audio, BDtoAVCHD fails (eac3to), multiAVCHD desyncs audio. I’m guessing most of these problems are because the video is at 23.810 FPS, while most of these tools would like it to be 23.976.

Using transcode_video I’ve been able to make a MKV that has the video (with reduced quality, although I can’t see a difference), 256k AC3 Stereo Audio (passthru) and Swedish subtitles burned-in (I synced Swedish Project Threepio subtitle to a English SRT for this version of the movie that I found at Opensubtitles) all synced up nicely, at a resulting file size of ~7.1 GB. This is the version of Star Wars I have in my Plex library now.

All I would like to do now is also make it into AVCHD format and put it on a dual-layer DVD and play it in my PS3 and/or PS4 (like I’ve done with Harmy’s AVCHD versions of his despecialized editions). I still have the original 20 GB MKV and SRT, if it makes things easier.

So, has anyone managed to do it without desync?

BONUS QUESTION: Has anyone managed to extract and sync a 5.1 track from Harmy’s version to this video? If so, I’m interested in that too.

I made a disc of my copy, but I made a BD-R. If you have the funds available I suggest that route, media and burners are getting cheaper all the time. I know that’s not very helpful to your issue though…I’m honestly not sure what’s going on there, I’ve never experienced a problem like that. :-\ I’ll look into it further, you’ve piqued my curiosity.

Edit: sorry, I didn’t notice the Swedish subtitles part, that should’ve been a clue to me. I don’t know what the market for burners is like in your locale, I was basing that off my experience in the States. Do you get the same results with your transcoded MKV as well?

Sorry burning a BD-R is not an option right now. I very recently bought a BD-drive (reader) for my PC so I rather not already buy another one/replace it.

Yes the transcoded MKV works fine. Either burning the .srt into it or loading the .srt externally works great.

I converted an iso of bd of the v1.6 with makemkv, the v1.6 are 23.976fps, but the audio gives problems when converting, so use airpowersoft mkv converter to convert the audio into an ac3 256 kbps, Necessary to replace the audio with mkvtoolnix (and you can also add subtitles with this same program). Once this is done, convert the modified mkv to bdtoavchd.

This is my AVCHD v1.6:
