You are welcome, hubblec4 , and thank you for reminding me this needs to be done. I have it coded in DGDemux but am waiting for a disk with DTS Express to arrive later today. So I should have a test version ready for you within a day or two. It wasn't hard because the existing DTS demux code works f...

Sorry, DTS Express is not supported at this time.

I've got DTS Express working in DGIndexNV. Gonna regression test and code review first, then port it to DGDemux.

Here is an updated test build for AVS+ support for sekrit-twc's vscube. It includes sekrit-twc's bug fix for the AVX2 support of tetrahedral mode.

The timecube+AVS support test build was relocated:

https://rationalqm.us/cube/

All the cube stuff is now together in directory cube.

DGDemux/DGDemuxGUI build 71:

* Added an option '-collapse' intended to support creation of multi-edition MKVs.
Refer to the user manual for details. Normal users should not need this option.

same behavior like cE

Let's roll out that old phrase: Great minds think alike!

Thank you for your testing. Waiting for surprised users to report that there are weird playlists showing up...

Here is a test release of the AVS+ support for sekrit-twc 's latest vscube. Refer to the user manual for syntax and examples. Your test results will be greatly appreciated. My testing shows the AVS+ version with prefetch(6) to be faster than the Vapoursynth version. https://rationalqm.us/cube/AVSCub...

Here is a release candidate for build 71. It adds the -collapse option to the GUI.

Hehe, I have successfully ported sekrit-twc's latest vscube to AVS+. Still have to fix up some loose ends but it's running fine with tetrahedral and all cpu modes. It took just less than 3 hours to port.

It's been a while since I worked on DGCube() and today I was going to work on some changes. This is a line in my test script for Vapoursynth: c=core.dgcube.DGCube(c,cube="PQ_to_BT709_slope.cube",in="lim",lut="full",out="lim",interp="tetrahedral") This line causes a Vapoursynth syntax error. I tracke...

The GUI presents now also this special mpls files and so it would be good to have the collapse option also in GUI.

Yup. That's what my oscillation is converging toward.

Awesome. You are most welcome and thank you for your testing. :salute: I'll wait a little while for us to get some more experience with things before releasing it. And I'm still oscillating between implementing it in the GUI and not. Seems to be a damped oscillation, thankfully. ;) 20 lines of code ...

Yes I will do and report my results. But it won't be for an hour. No problem, thank you. Take your time. I'll be taking my afternoon nap. OK, and good to know. Only for interest, if I use one of the switches should I expect issues? Don't know, haven't thought it through. I hope it's OK if I let you...

@ hubblec4 Can you test this build please? Changes are: 1. All MPLS files are detected, including the weird ones. 2. There is a new option '-collapse' for DGDemux that will remove duplicates from the M2TS list. Notes: a. It's up to you to not enable -sf/-sl/-sk/-ep when you give -collapse. b. I may ...

Hehe, thanks. I can argue that it's a special for cE, and so if you enable it as a normal user, it may not be what you expect.

I could implement the dup removal with an option, and if it's enabled then I disable -sf/-sl/-sk/-ep. That would be not so difficult. I'll do some experimenting. I hope this sentence makes sense in English Sounds like perfect colloquial English. ;) Translation has come a long ways from the early days.

Yeah, I knew about chapters too.

Let me ask you frankly... How bad would it be if I continued to ignore these weird playlists? Is it a deal-breaker?Honestly, this is going to be a difficult change for me.

A question: If I remove the duplicates, do you want the playtime returned as the original full time or the playtime with the duplicates removed? I'm tending towards returning the truncated playtime. I temporarily removed build 70 because I had uploaded the wrong DGDemux.exe. :( EDIT: build 70 was re...

Yes, I was thinking that too. I'll do the duplicate removal for you but I'm undecided still whether to have an option. Maybe I'll make it unconditional for now and add an option in the future if it ever becomes problematic for some use case. I mean after all, we used to throw out the whole MPLS, so ...

It's not just storage, it's the time to write out massive lossless streams and then read them again. And having to encode twice. That's not fast and it's certainly not clean. Nevertheless I'm happy you have what you consider to be an adequate workaround for your pains. As I told many times That feel...

I have eased my pains...

Won't you have the grace to explain what your pains are after I explicitly asked and after all I've done for you over the years.

Thank you. Thinking...

Should I open a new feature request "Remove duplicated m2ts from the m2ts list"? Sorry, I don't follow your explanation. Please explain like you're talking to a five-year-old what the purpose of this option is, and the consequences of not having it. Why do you even need these playlists? I am disinc...

I had a check that was intended to ignore "weird" MPLS files. By weird I mean those with the same M2TS file listed one after another. E.g., here is the list for CARS_2 00020.mpls: 00040.m2ts+00040.m2ts+00040.m2ts+00040.m2ts+ ... Can't remember but somebody probably asked for that check. Don't ask me...

After you open the disk, don't click on an MPLS, and leave the GUI open. Then inspect the demuxXXXX.txt file in the same directory as DGDemuxGUI.exe, where XXXX is the PID shown in the GUI to the left of the Abort button. Compare the list in that file to a directory listing of PLAYLIST. If they mat...
