Encoding .M2TS - "not in the correct format"

I have a bunch of files from some bluray ISOs that I wanna re-encode. The files are already H264 and with two audio tracks, DTS and AC3. I’ve used this awesome script to re-encode a bunch of my X264/H264 TV shows automagically but they’re usually MP4. These ones are in M2TS.

If I pass python /opt/mp4automator/manual.py -i “Matador_S02E03.m2ts” it simply throws me, in the log:

Manual processor started.
/usr/bin/python
Audio bitrate was invalid, defaulting to 256 per channel.
64bit Python.
File Matador_S02E03.m2ts is not in the correct format

The info.log file doesn’t contain anymore information.

I’ve tried with setting the audiocodec to AC3, disabling MOOV relocation, tried without my specific postopts settings, but nothing helps.

This is my config:

[MP4]
ffmpeg = /usr/bin/ffmpeg
ffprobe = /usr/bin/ffprobe
threads = auto
output_directory =
copy_to =
move_to =
output_extension = mp4

Is m2ts simply not supported, or?

M2TS hasn’t been tested at all, but theoretically if FFMPEG can unwrap it it should work If you want to try it out you just have to add m2ts to the extensions.py valid_input_extensions array and give it a shot

@mdhiggins - I’m trying to remove the secondary audio track as it’s just some commentary of sorts, but isn’t tagged with this at all (non of the tracks or subtitles are tagged, apparently this info is lost when copying from bluray discs). As for the -ss and -t, I’ll give that a go again, I musta been doing something wrong.
