AVCHDCoder |
With AVCHDCoder you can convert AVI, M2TS, MKV, MP4, WMVHD files and Blu-ray to AVCHD/Blu-ray. Almost everything will be done for you. You can add srt or sup files. If they are in your input file or not it doesn't matter. Subs and audio will be extracted automaticly. Integrated the tool with some very rare formulas to calculate the bitrate. Discs will be filled for nearly 100%. Based on free tools. Requires: Java.

Version history:
v11.12.27 View full changelog Fixed - There were still some bugs in the Blu-ray input module. Many seamless branched disc resulted in an error while demuxing. Now all possible eac3to output information is supported by AVCHDCoder. Preparation - Preparing AVCHDCoder for a major technical improvement like: Better logging, better progress information, better process handling, error handling and converting all AVCHDCoder features into reusable modules. This way I can add even more features in the future like: seperate audio conversion tooling, mkv tooling etc. The first result of this improvement will be improved blu-ray support (mpls playlists that are shorter than 15 minutes currently are not shown) All features / Full description: * SRT/ASS/PGS subtitles support. Max 32 streams
* Conversion of audio will be done automatically. * Down/up conversion from AC3 to AC3. * Down conversion of DTS-HD and True-HD tracks. * Chapter support. * Borders will be added automatically. * Downscaling will also be done automatically. * You can choose between DVD5, DVD9 and BD25 output. * Feature to watch the approx. bitrate before encoding. * Iso will created for you so it is ready to burn. * No need to configure the x264 encoder. There are 2 build in profiles that can't be edited. * Unique formulas to calculate the bitrate. In most cases the disc is filled for almost 100%. But I'll need your feedback to tweak it.

If you have a BD50 or MKV and want it shrinked to AVCHD-DVD or BD25 this is the perfect tool to do all the Work with only a couple of clicks. Unfortunately that is all it can. Like Adobe Encore it forces you to transcode any of your media even if simple demuxing -> muxing would do the job. So if your video have to be transcoded everything is fine. If it doesn't it's only a waste of time and quality. In that last case tsmuxer or multiavchd do a better job even if they aren't updated very often.

Nice program. It does blu-ray 50gb to 25gb movie only and fills the disc to 99% capacity. The quality is the best I have seen for this type of program. The forces subtitles are very important for some movies and in this program works great. Also this program retains the chapter points also a must have for all movies. I have not experienced any sync problems yet. Great program. I look forward to future versions.

For some strange reason with version 11.01.07, i can not get it to create BD25 or BD50 sized outputs. When selecting these 2 settings it keeps creating AVCHD outputs of about 4.1GB. With previously released versions i did not have this problem with, they worked like a charm.

Great programing. I have been waiting for a program like this for over a year. Avchd coder is the best thing I have seen for doing blu ray 50gb to bd-r 25gb. So far l have done 4 movies and the quality is awsome. There is many options for compressing the audio and the subtitles work great. Their is not much room for improvement the only thing may be better speed for Encoding. The quality is well worth the wait. Thanks for posting such a great program.

This program works very well. It would be nice to be able to add sub titles from outside the input file.

b-pyramid 2 is correct that in a AVCHD format?

“Being able to convert 25 fps to 23.976 in the program would be nice, since the tools are all there. Not criticizing, maybe a future 'feature' :-)” It automatically converts 25 fps to 23.976. PAL to NTSC

I just installed this last night and did not get a chance to test the software yet. I wanted to comment on the EXCELLENT installation and testing procedures (to validate your PC's ability to convert video) included with this software. This package includes the Avisynth, Ffdshow and Haali Media Splitter for 32 or 64 bit OS's. I had the 32 bit versions of these software packages already installed on my PC but not the 64 bit versions. Just follow the HELP installation procedures and the software testing to validate your PC's configuration. So even if you do not use this software for converting video, use it to verify the correct codecs are installed and working! I am not aware of any other software that is offers these installation and TESTING options.

Great software, really easy to use. One thing I want to note, pretty much every freeware Blu-ray/HD-DVD encoder uses the exact same program x264.exe to do the really hard work, encoding. So comparing speed of one product vs another is pointless, if you found a program that encodes in 4 hours what it takes this program 24 hours to do on the high setting that means that the new program you love so much is probably producing garbage, quality wise, in x264 quality is configurable with options and the ones that take longer almost always produce better quality,some programs just integrate really crappy low quality profiles for the sake of speed. I've done some considerable encoding using the more configurable and much harder to use encoder MeGUI, which is great when you want absolute control over your encode, but I wanted something simple that I could spend 2 mins on and press go for less important stuff I want to back up to disc but don't want to spend a lot of my own time on. This software is it, the profile they use for highest quality is pretty darn close to the high quality profile I use in MeGUI, i can just load up a bunch of files on my encoding machine and then come back when it's done and burn the iso's. Very Happy with it, it could use a few more configurable options for x264, based on profiles to take into account personal tastes, but as an easy to use blu-ray to BD5/BD9 converter nothing matches this.

I've used BDRB for over a year, and I recently ran into a problem converting a 25fps, 1080i mkv to AVCHD. Although I was able to fix the fps with TSMUXER, BDRB output looked 1/2 size on my PS3. AVCHDCoder allowed me to change output to 1080P and solved the problem. Even with the fastest decode, the image quality was very decent! I also like that this program has a manual explaining the options and settings. Although it's pretty intuitive for BDRB, I can't seem to find a comprehensive list of options and settings in the ini files for tweaking BDRB. Minor issue overall. Both programs are excellent for what they do and much appreciation for the effort from both authors! AVCHDCoder is a valuable addition to my tools library! Being able to convert 25 fps to 23.976 in the program would be nice, since the tools are all there. Not criticizing, maybe a future 'feature' :-)

I think I have tried all apps proposed in the bluray rip & encode section of this site and avchd is the only one I'll keep using. The software is easy to use, it provides a complete solution from ripping to encoding to the right format & size. I was previously using a commercial software from xilisoft but the end result was somehow disappointing, I was always getting some video lag with fast moving images. AVCHD is slower, it took me 8 hours to build a 8Gb MKV file (2h20m movie) while it took me the same amount of time to encode 3 to 4 bluray with the stuff from xilisoft. I need to mention that I've been playing a game for an hour on the same computer while encoding the movie, I guess it would have been faster without playing that game. I'm using a QuadCore Q6600 cpu (no overclocking), 6Gb of RAM, 8800GTX video card running under Vista 64 bits. Encoding priority was set to normal, my four cores were in use.

The author has put great effort into providing detailed instructions on configuration. New users should READ them. (!) Specifically, users are advised *NOT* to install any codec packs. The program provides links to tested versions of ffdshow, Haali, and AviSynth. How hard is that? There is even a handy configuration testing tool included to determine whether one's system can encode H.264, VC-1 and WMVHD. Okay, the good: 1)It works, and is slightly more tolerant than BDRB. I say that because it encoded a damaged rip that BDRB rejected. Of course I did the job over anyway from the beginning, but thought I'd test it at the time. 2)It accepts a wide variety of file types/formats. 3) Free. The not-so-good: 1) The download is pretty big. Partly this is a function of providing capability for encoding various file types, so more tools are required. 2) In my testing, chapter points were slightly off for a Blu-Ray encode (not the damaged one tested previously). Just a second or two, and perhaps a niggling point. 3) Workflow is a little cumbersome, but this is a matter of personal taste, and no doubt users get accustomed to it without much trouble. Anyone who puts so much effort into useful freeware programs deserves thanks (and donations). So one hesitates to criticize too sharply. Anyway, it's a pretty good tool.

@below On my dual core it only takes up to 24 hours*. More than 5 days means your system is not properly configured. Or your source device is slow (ripping via network is much slower for example) *AMD Athlon X2 2.4GHz, 2GB Ram, output 1920x1080@23.976p and a movielength of 100-110 minutes. Contact the Author if you have questions, he will help you.

You need a quad core with this program.My dual core has taken more then 5 days for a 37 gig movie.Not the fastest tool in the shed.Still waiting for the encoder to finish the job.

Ignore the ignorant guy below who gave this program a bad review. This program is awesome & you can resize to 1280 x 720 or leave default 1920 x1080 these are the only two hi-def sizes for avchd!

This software is the easiest to use and best software for converting commercial blu-ray discs to DVD, DVD-DL, Blu-Ray25gb. It won't copy the menus but it will convert and blu-ray by copying the main movie file and compressing it to fit on the output source you select. It will even create an .iso image of the blu-ray formatted output. It even helps in selecting the output size by showing you the bit rate and a quality rating. Very easy to use too. This software is nothing short of amazing.

This is not a practical programm ! The option "crop-resize" doesn't exist ... It's pitty, because it could be a useful programm.

This is the only program I have used so far that does not fail somehow in the attempt to compress blu-ray media to DVD+R DL sizes (8152MB). The other programs were either too difficult to use or crashed on the second encoding pass. On the highest quality settings, AVCHD will create a superb compressed copy of the original movie in 12 hours using an intel q9450 (quad core) that looks just like the original; more than worth the wait.

Program works great & very easy to use. Even if you haven’t used it before it’s very intuitive program allowing one to get the gist of it in a few minutes & the 2-pass AVCHD quality is superb.

This is a great program, I put 2 HD home videos and it came out with menu, the only thing is there is no options for naming the titles. It just shows 1 (blank), 2 (blank).
