Guide: MCBurn2BD (Burn any Video from MC to a Blu-ray):  Old MCBurn2BD Thread

Background:  This script lets you burn any Video file that MC can "convert" including Particles, TV Recordings etc to a ISO Image file and optionally a Blu-ray disk.

The script will then in order:
- Transcode the Video using MC's existing "MPEG2-TS 1080p AUTOFPS" profile
- Make a BD ISO using a portable version of tsMuxeR
- Burn to Disk using Windows Inbuilt ISO Burner
- At this stage you can only burn a single file.  If there is any interest I can look at supporting Multiple Files --> 1 BD (eg make a compilation disk)
- The files can be Big and can take awhile to convert so you have to be patient
- The profile I'm using is 1080p MPEG2 with 2ch AC3/DD.  This is the most compatible of the existing profiles for BD as this stage.  This may change if there are other BD Compatible conversion profiles in the future
- No fancy Menus etc, but the disk should just "play" when you put it in a BD Player

Guide: MediaInfo (Uses MediaInfo to collect data on your library items):

Background:  MC uses ffmpeg/ffprob to collect information on the media in your library and update fields such as Compression Info. Unfortunately, ffmpeg/ffprob is unable to differentiate if a TrueHD/DTS-MA has Atmos/DTS:X extensions.  This script will download and use the CLI version of MediaInfo to collect this information.

The script will then in order:
- Analyse Selected File(s) using MediaInfo
- Save as an "Extra" File the output of MediaInfo in the same directory under NAME_MediaInfo.txt
- Update the "Compression" Tag with "+Atmos" or "+DTS:X" if the file contains it
- Update the "Languages" Tag with any of the languages if the file contains it that information
- Optionally Update any MC Field with data from the MediaInfo Report

Notes, Limitations, Future Stuff:
- It should work on any Media File
- To see the Extra File, right click on the file in MC ---> Extra ---> "OriginalFileName_MediaInfo.txt" to view
- Some Blu-ray discs seem to confuse MediaInfo so the script will also add the information from the largest M2TS to the OriginalFileName_MediaInfo.txt file and scan this for Atmos or DTS:X info
- Optionally (in the non-run time mode), you can select to not have the "OriginalFileName_MediaInfo.txt" saved, though it will still update the Compression Field
- Optionally (in the non-run time mode), you can select what Field in MC to update from what Field in the MediaInfo report (and also restrict by section of the report).  Eg - You can update the MC "Description" field with all values for "Format" in the MediaInfo report and also restrict it to a section of the report (such as General, Video, Audio, Text... Even down to a single stream like Video #1 or Text #4).  You can then update (add to) that same MC field the results of another search.  If you leave the MediaInfo Field and Section areas blank it will add all Unique values in the report to the MC Field.
- It can take some time to run especially on certain Blu-Ray Discs (the confusing ones)
- Media Info seems to generate some bizarrely long and incorrect details on some Blu-ray folders (but running it on files looks fine - so the Extra's File will have the details from the BD Folder and the Larget M2TS in the Folder)
- If you want to reset the Compression Info back to MC's stock values, just right Click--> Update Library from Tags
- If you want to delete the Extra's File just do a search in Windows for "*MediaInfo.txt" and delete them

Update: 29 Aug 2016
- Unified all the my various scripts into one UI (bound to be bugs)
- Adds a field in MC called "Chapter DB #" for later use (note: requires MC22.0.21 or later)
- Data Fiddler Update MC Library:  Can now also ADD items to MC (in addition to updating only).  All items to be added should have the "new" in the "Key" Field.  You can have a mix of New and items to be Updated in the one spreadsheet.  (note: requires MC22.0.21 or later)

Thanks for your work on this Nathan.

I'd like to add two little gems I discovered to help pull chapters from a DVD folder rip from IFO's or an MKV rip with embedded chapters.

Chapter-X-tractor can rip the chapters from a DVD IFO or AVI and create an OGG text file which you can then manually type in the chapter names and chapterfy can then use that as a manual txt file to create the particles.

And Chaptereditor rev0.48 can rip the chapters from a MKV or just about any other file type to create the OGG format text file which you can again customise and save and then import with chapterfy as a manual chapter txt file to create the particles.
You need to also install mkvtoolnix for MKV support

FYI - ChapterDB also support chapter files for DVD's as well.... but I hardly have any so have not bothered.  When I did, I used the old venerable DVDDecrytper that could bust a DVD up into individual mpgs per chapter.
