There is this DVD that contains 4 episodes. When I click on "check dvd drive", the "Select PGC" box populates with 4 options, to select the proper episode. When I select, for example, the first PGC, fabdecrypter rips the entire video and then starts extracting the entire audio that corresponds to all 4 episodes together, creating audio of total length of 4x45 minutes=around 2 hours.

Specifically, the four episodes are all on VTS 02 (PGC 1 to 4)

I've also tried the same thing, checking "episodic IFO/DVD", but it didn't help. Am I doing something wrong, or should I rip each episode with my standalone DVDDecrypter first and process each episode rip seperately?

all movies are always full ripped, not only the selected episode

checking "Episodic dvd" automkv will be forced to encode only the vobs belonging to selected ifo (so is working with an already ripped dvd)

es:

vts_01_1.ifo
vts_01_0.vob
vts_01_1.vob
vts_01_2.vob
vts_02_1.ifo
vts_02_0.vob
vts_02_1.vob
vts_02_2.vob
vts_03_1.ifo
vts_03_0.vob
vts_03_1.vob
vts_03_2.vob

without checking "Episodic dvd" only the biggest ifo (and the corrispondenting vobs) is processed
with check on "Episodic dvd" only the selected ifo (and the corrispondenting vobs) is processed . So if i check it and select vts_02_1.ifo only the vts_02_1.vob,vts_02_2.vob will be processed.

If all episodes are encoded in the same vts (like all in vts_01_01.vob,vts_01_02.vob,vts_01_03.vob,vts_01_04.vob,vts_01_05.vob...) automkv isn't able to process single episode, BUT you could use the chapter for navigate beetween episodes :)

Thanks for the info, makes sense :)

Now, perhaps these have been reported, but nevertheless a couple of findings that seem to be bugs:

1) Selecting to shutdown upon job completion, only logs out the user

2) When multiple jobs have been enqueued, and if "shutdown" is selected, then after the first job is finished automkv simply logs out. IOW, that setting should take effect after all jobs have been completed.

My 2 cents, HD MP4 is beeing encoded normally here.
IMHO 0.68 is a little slower then 0.66 when processing all the stuff before the encoding.

..................
{Regarding my statement that using delaycut doubled the time for quick Zune conversions} :

that's near impossible. Is only a DISK to DISK operation, not an encoding operation. The audio file isn't reencoded just "trimmed/muxed" without delay. Isn't a framerate conversion at all!
..............
BHH
You are correct and I was totally wrong about that. It only adds a few percent to the total conversion time. I have corrected my Quick Zune Conversion Guide (http://forum.videohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=319372)accordingly!

On my two computers the hints (when mouse pointer dwells over an entry item) only appear one time, even if you go to a different tab and then return. Also they only appear for about half the time it takes me to read them. Could you please consider making them stay longer and come up more than once per program run? Thanks!

Also, I still think it would nice to have the root file name (name without extension) of the input file appear automatically as the output file name, except when the input and output extensions are the same. In that case, perhaps "Amkv" or "Mod" could be appended to the output root name (?). (The operator could always override the suggested name of course.) I tried using "movie" and "movie name" as you seemed to suggest in a prior post, but I just got output files named "movie.wmv" or "movie name.wmv".

Some suggestions that might improve an already excellent program :) :

1) When outputting to Matroska, the title entered in "Movie Name" becomes also the title of the video track, using the --track-title command line option of mkvmerge (if I understand correctly). Perhaps it could become the .mkv's title instead, using the --title option.

2) In the advanced settings tab, the user selects a language. Not sure what it does, but it would save me a click or two, if whatever is selected there, becomes the default choice in the audio track 1 and 2 language (instead of "und"efined).

Last but not least there are those two issues I've mentioned above, not sure though if they are bugs or not:

1) Selecting to shutdown upon job completion, only logs out the user

2) When multiple jobs have been enqueued, and if "shutdown" is selected, then after the first job is finished automkv simply logs out. IOW, that setting should take effect after all jobs have been completed.

And another possible bug: I've checked the HQ Deinterlacer box. The error Error: Error calling AVIStreamGetFrameOpen shows up in the deint.log file.

@dlflannery

i down't know if i understud clearly... but in next release the movie name will be based (proposed) on input file name
AND in wmv proprierties the title will be the movie

@cosmos
1) Selecting to shutdown upon job completion, only logs out the user
) When multiple jobs have been enqueued, and if "shutdown" is selected, then after the first job is finished automkv simply logs out. IOW, that setting should take effect after all jobs have been completed.
should be fixed!

2) In the advanced settings tab, the user selects a language
even if is not very used AutoMKV could be translated in every languages ! Setting the languages in advanced settings allow automkv to search for a file named automkv.yourlanguage , if found every label will be translated...

Perhaps it could become the .mkv's title instead, using the --title option.
i will search ... thanks to the hint !

The error Error: Error calling AVIStreamGetFrameOpen shows up in the deint.log file.

... please reinstall xvid (the vfw build), also could you post a snippet ? (the problem isn't bind to hq deint or profiles...)

thanks !

You are welcome :) The --title option is essentially what you type in the mkvmerge GUI -> Global tab -> File/segment title. It's very nice because it is displayed in Media player classic, right above the navigation bar ("Title XXXX").

BTW, perhaps AutoMKV should take some credit for all those conversions, so you could probably set a global mkv tag "author" to read "AutoMKV version XXX, see http://yyy/" ;)

... please reinstall xvid (the vfw build), also could you post a snippet ? (the problem isn't bind to hq deint or profiles...)
Have to use the system for some other computationally intensive work atm, but will report tomorrow if it works or not. I should simply install an Xvid build (Koepi's for example), right?

AutoMKV(068) is working fine here, however with some sources when the deinterlacer gives up (not uncommon with very low motion anime), no deinterlacing is applied. it would be nice if there where an option to let autoMKV guess. I don't know how easy or possible it would be to implement or even if autoMKV could redo a pass with more agressive settings.

great work with AutoMKV otherwise.

on a side note, when I was originally working on a 2 minute sample of the same file as above (11 min total) the deint.log reported

BAutoDeint [info]: Number of sections of type `tff': 185
BAutoDeint [info]: Number of sections of type `unknown': 72

Processing completed. Type is determined to be film.
Field order is variable.

and the final result was pretty good.

Something which is a bit strange. IIRC, the movie.avs file contained a call to ColorMatrix. For example, in the log posted by BleedingGums two posts before:

...
05:33:39 BicubicResize(out_width,out_height,0,0.50)
05:33:39 #filter2start
05:33:39
05:33:39 #test5
05:33:39
05:33:39 Convolution3d (preset="animeHQ")
05:33:39 ColorMatrix("Rec.709->Rec.601",hints=false)
05:33:39 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

I also saw that line in previous encodings I've performed with AutoMKV. However I can't locate it in recent encodes:

20:45:34 #test4
20:45:34
20:45:34 BicubicResize(out_width,out_height,0,0.50)
20:45:34 #filter2start
20:45:34
20:45:34 #test5
20:45:34
20:45:34 RemoveGrain(mode=2)
20:45:34 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a 4:3 clip and I've enabled "ITU resizing". Could it be the cause of ColorMatrix not appearing?

16th January 2007, 13:25

you are welcome The --title option is essentially

:) DONE ! (added title in advanced audio options)

however with some sources when the deinterlacer gives up

it's difficult.. anyway i reworked the deinterlace choice, so if you know already what is the results of deint.log ("Processing completed. Type is determined to be film." ) you can apply it

colormatrix is always applied. regardless of reizer,deinterlacer,itu, anamorphic... the ONLY case that ISN'T applied is when in d2v the color information report a color mode that colormatrix is unable to change (sorry for the convoluted reply)

16th January 2007, 14:00

:) DONE ! (added title in advanced audio options)
Sorry I'm a bit confused, let me elaborate. In 068, AutoMKV uses the --track-name mkvmerge option in 2 places:
1) It takes the "Movie Name" and uses --track-name to assign it to the Matroska video stream. NOTE: it is only the video track that is assigned the "Movie Name"!
2) In the advanced audio options, whatever is entered in the "Track Name (Director's Comment, Actor" etc, using the --track-name mkvmerge option becomes the audio track's name

What I was suggesting is:
* Leave (2) as it is in 068, that is still use --track-title to assign a description to the respective audio channel (e.g. "MP3 VBR", or "AAC 5.1" etc)
* Change (1) as follows: instead of calling mkvmerge with the option --track-name "<what user has entered in "Movie Name">", call it instead with --title "<what user has entered in "Movie Name">". Therefore, there is no need to have the --title take its value from the audio properties box. In fact, adding the title in the audio channel advanced options would be wrong. There can be only one --title mkvmerge argument for the entire mkv file, it is unique!

This way in the entire mkv file, the global (ie not a track-specific) title tag is set to the movie name. I was not sure if that was what you intended saying in your previous post, hence for the clarification.

colormatrix is always applied. regardless of reizer,deinterlacer,itu, anamorphic... the ONLY case that ISN'T applied is when in d2v the color information report a color mode that colormatrix is unable to change (sorry for the convoluted reply)Thanks for the information, now I understand :) And, BTW, pardon me for making a lot of newbie comments, pls blame my ignorance. This area is new to me (I'm still struggling to find which filter I should use, like convolute3d, other?) :D

You understand correctly! And thanks!

Sorry for this nubie question but:
Am I correct that AutoMKV cannot take Xvid or DivX as input files (perhaps renamed with .avi extension?). I've read this entire thread and still don't know this for sure. An OP on another forum was looking for a way to convert Xvid to WMV and I wasn't sure whether I could recommend AutoMKV for that or not?

ADDED: Possibility to activate High Quality Deinterlacer (slow!)

Hey buzzqw,

What does AutoMKV use for the HQ de-interlacer?

Thanks!

buzzqw

16th January 2007, 20:44

@dlflannery

best answer is try ;) but i can confirm that is possible to convert .avi /.mp4 ./mkv ./ogm to wmv or whatever container supported by automkv

but remember that only first audio track is processed

What does AutoMKV use for the HQ de-interlacer?

BAutoDeint after analysis could decide that source file is:

1) Unknow
2) Progressive
3) Interlaced
4) Decimating
5) Partly Film
6) Partly Interlaced

and the field order could be
1) Unknow
2) TFF
3) BFF
4) Variable/Hybrid

For Progressive/Unknow source no deinterlacer is used

For Interlaced:
Standard is LeakKernelDeint(order=order,sharp=true) for HQ is Tdeint(order=order), for variable field order is
edeintted = SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)")
TDeint(edeint=edeintted)

For Decimating
Standard and HQ is tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()

For Partly Film
Standard is:
tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate(hybrid=3)HQ (for bff/tff just change assumebff and order = , for variable order set order=-1) is edeintted = AssumeBFF().SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)
tdeintted = TDeint(edeint=edeintted,order=0)
tfm(order=0,clip2=tdeintted).tdecimate(hybrid=3)

For Partly Interlaced
Standard is (again change order= to your value):TDeint(order=1,full=false)
For HQ:edeintted = AssumeTFF().SeparateFields().SelectEven().EEDI2(field=-1)
TDeint(order=1,full=false,edeint=edeintted)

For Film
Standard or HQ is:tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()

That's near all !

I've tried to convert xvid to wmv. With ac3 as audio. Did not work. There was no audio in created avs script and the encoding obviously failed. I do have ac3filter installed. The xvid file plays fine in any player or in graphedit. Any ideas what's wrong?

Even with more seasoned "Encoding GUI's", these kinds of conversions are very difficult to achieve...

Besides.... the WMV container does not support AC3 audio. Primarily it supports WMA and WMA Pro ;)

Yes, agreed. I did not want to store ac3 in wmv. I hoped AutoMKV would convert ac3 to 2 channel wma (or ask me if I want multichannel wma).
I mean I know I can extract ac3, convert to wav, convert video to wmv and remux with audio - but that would not be "Auto...". Previous posts implied I can feed almost anything in AutoMKV and get wmv as output.

buzzqw

16th January 2007, 21:59

if you have an ac3 decoder installed (like ffdshow) automkv should encode it to wmv

just choose audio encoder "wmv", channel as "stereo"

I did not work for me. But while I have ffdshow I also have ac3filter which by default handles ac3. Are you saying that uninstalling ac3filter and have ffdshow handle ac3 should help?

Also, just to be clear. NONE of the converters that are out there worked - I mean those that claim to convert from "anything" to Zune compatible format. I ended up going xvid avi-> rip out ac3->convert to 2channel wav-> feed video and audio (separately) to WME. That worked, but hardly an elegant solution.

[...]There was no audio in created avs script and the encoding obviously failed. I do have ac3filter installed. The xvid file plays fine in any player or in graphedit. Any ideas what's wrong?

Not to repeat myself but I think the problem is that the avs script created by AutoMKV (which is in temp directory) did not have any audio component. Which leads me to the following question: what would be the proper avs script that would allow me to feed audio portion of xvid with ac3 audio to any audio encoder. Or in other words - if I wanted to feed just ac3 audio from avi file into, let's say audio track of WME, what would such a script look like?

you're welcome. I'm glad it helped.
BTW (since I can't try new vesion for couple of hours), is it going to feed 2channel stereo into windows encoder? windows encoder does support multichannel audio, but it has to be in specific format. Do I have to manually make sure that my ac3filter is set to output 2 channel, or AutoMKV is going to take care of it?

while on mpeg (vob/ts/mpeg...) input i will pass the downmixing routines (stereo or original channel number), on avi/mpeg4 input i will pass only the directshowsource without specifying downmixing at all
You must choose on ac3filter or ffdshow or whatever ac3 decoder you have hwo many channels pass to directshowsource

as i said in old post i was never able to encode in 5.1 mode with wma... but if it's working for you i am glad!

BHH
according to Zambelli (and it seemed to work for me, at least based on what MediaInfo shows)
Quote: "[..] you can encode 5.1 audio sources to 5.1 WMA Pro if you wish. The source needs to be presented as either 6 mono WAV files or a multichannel WAV/AVI, such as the ones created by the Mono-to-Multichannel Wave Combiner tool at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...utilities.aspx."

Hi Buzz,

I've been trying to generate a "pure interlaced" Xvid (MPEG-4) encode from a "pure interlaced" MPEG-2 source.... I've tried all the options in the GUI but sadly though, without success :(

http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/2798/automkvzo5.png

By-the-way.... Does the "NONE" option mean the "de-interlacer" is "Off"?

Cheers

17th January 2007, 20:03

@travisbell

Force DirectShowSource is to use only when you know that proxjectX or dgindex will fail, you can use it on ogm or mp4 input files, whenever you need to process your file by directshow (es. you need to apply a ffdshow postprocessing filter...)

@jmnk
if you know how to do with directshowsource i will be glad to support it !

@SeeMoreDigital
On NONE or Progressive choice NO deinterlacer or deinterlaced test is performed, you can look at resulting avs script

About interlaced mpeg4... i suppose that some parameter is to pass to xvid_encraw or x264...
On Xvid profile there is this <Interlaced>false</Interlaced>, if you change to true the -interlaced option will be passed but not the BFF/TFF (1,2) parameter.
Best answer is to add at Advanced profile editing, at "Add to line:" the -interlaced 1 (for bff) or -interlaced 2 (for tff) :)

Just tried that.... And I think it's working correctly. MediaInfo reports the Xvid in MP4 encode as being "interlaced" and the "field order" as being TFF :)

I must admit, I doubt many people would want to generate "pure interlaced" Xvid encodes, especially as they're not very easy to play in a software player. However, "pure interlaced" Xvid encodes play and look great in my hardware player ;)

For my own selfish purposes. Would it be possible for you to add say, an "De-interlacer" "Off" setting, that automatically creates a profile setting which includes "-interlaced 2" (for TFF)..... By-the-way, TFF is by far the most common field order for "interlaced" sources.

I'm trying to convert an AVI (xvid, mp3) to WMV with no success at all.

Per mediaInfo the input file properties are:
Format : AVI
Format/Info : Audio Video Interleave
Format/Family : RIFF
File size : 18.8 MiB
PlayTime : 2mn 30s
Bit rate : 1039 Kbps
StreamSize : 349 KiB

Video #0
Codec : XviD
Codec settings/BVOP : No
Codec settings/QPel : No
Codec settings/GMC : 0
Codec settings/Matri : Default
PlayTime : 2mn 30s
Bit rate : 904 Kbps
Width : 320 pixels
Height : 240 pixels
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 29.970 fps
Resolution : 8 bits
Chroma : 4:2:0
Interlacement : Progressive
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.390
StreamSize : 16.2 MiB

Audio #0
Codec : MPEG-1 Audio layer 3
Codec profile : Joint stereo
PlayTime : 2mn 30s
Bit rate : 125 Kbps
Bit rate mode : CBR
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 48 KHz
Resolution : 16 bits
StreamSize : 2.25 MiB

This file plays fine in WMP11 or MPC 6.4.9.0
It renders and plays fine in gspot and graphEdit.
It can be served by AVS either with AviSource or DirectShowSource. In other words, all indications are this is a good video!

I've tried various WMV profiles and with or without the "Use DirectShowSource". Output size is same as input and fixed bit rate is 500kbps + audio_bit_rate.

Some encodes fail completely. The closest I've come to success is to check "Use DirectShowSource" and force use of the WMV7 codec via the Zune_1pass_fast profile. The file size is about 1/4 of what it should be and mediaInfo shows a video bitrate of 108kbps (should be 500kbps, and I see that rate being passed to the WME9 script).

When played in WMP11, this file shows good video and audio, but the video rushes along as if in 14X fast forward and finishes in 13 seconds while the audio plays along normally for the full 2.5 min duration.

If anyone can give me details on how they have successfully performed an AVI (xvid + mp3) --> WMV conversion with AutoMKV, I would really appreciate it. I've come so close, I hate to give up now!

Thanks for your attention

In some clips of episodes I knew that they were of type film. So in AutoMKV070 I've set in the advanced properties the type to "Film" but left the next box (field order) to "Auto". Does the automatic field order detection take place in such a case? I'll try to paste a log of such operation later on today.

This is an experimental build, since i no more parse channels downmix for mpeg4 (or directshowsource) input files.

update 0.70a
www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV070a.exe

FIXED: on avi/mkv/ogm or whenever is needed directshowsource , the audio encoding NO MORE LOOK AT CHANNELS downmixing. please USE FFDSHOW/AC3Filter to downmix!
ADDED: Leave Interlaced ... but please select field order..., now is applyed only to XviD, when --interlaced will be fuctional in x264 i will add to it

for example in ffdshow i check Mixer and select 2.0 (or feel bra

To anyone with problem with wmv please try this build ! :thanks:

EDIT: @cosmos don't use Film, since i parse d2v for force film usage !

@buzzqw:
70b did not fix my WMV encoding problems detailed in a prior post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=938643#post938643). I tried both with and without Use DirectShowSource. In either case the output file size is even smaller than before (850k when it should be 10-12 Meg) and MediaInfo throws a floating point exception on it.

I played it in WMP11 and now the video appears to be the same 13 sec 14X fast-forward version as before. Again the sound plays at normal speed but it now stops at 13 sec also. (Clip is 2.5 min long.)

I watch the WME script command window and it never takes as long as it should.

I can post log files if you want -- just tell me which ones you want.

I haven't tried sourcing this AVI via an AVS -- my understanding is this is not supported for WMV (??)

Thanks.

@buzzqw:
I've been able to encode my test AVI file with the WME9 encoder script file, several different ways actually, all resulting in good encodes.

On Computer #1, which has the DivX codec installed:
Just sourced the .avi file into the script.

On Computer #2, with XviD codec installed (not DivX)
Sourcing the .avi directly didn't work, But sourcing it as .avs using AviSource() worked fine.

Installed the DivX codec on computer #2 and then it also will encode sourcing the .avi directly.

Apparently the DivX codec (or something else that gets installed in its "bundle") makes the difference. However the GraphEdit for either case is very simple: AviSplitter, Mpeg4 Decoder (DivX or Xvid), then Video Renderer, i.e., no filter or color-space converter is being used in either case, so it looks like the only difference is the Mpeg4 decoders.

Here is the WMCmd.vbs command line I'm using (very similar to your Zune 1 Pass Quick, I think):

cscript.exe wmcmd.vbs -input %1 -output "%outdir%%outfile%.wmv" -v_codec WMV7 -v_mode 0 -v_bitrate %bitrate% -v_keydist 10 -v_buffer 10000 -v_quality 100 -v_preproc 0 -v_width %width% -v_height %height% -a_setting 128_44_2

I'm using 500 kbps bitrate, 320x240 (widthxheight)

So this shows there is no problem with my computer(s) or WME9 encoder or the input file. It's just a matter of getting AutoMKV to feed WME9 the right file and command line.

Is there any way in AukoMKV to make forced subtitles (not burnt in) using the mkv container?

I'm trying to encode flying high (or aeroplane depending on which country your in) and when I try and play the resulting movie in VLC I see that the subtitles are always defaulted to off.Search and download mkvtoolnix for Windows. Then doubleclick the mkvmerge icon. In the input files throw in the movie you are talking about. In the middle boxes the video, audio and subtitle tracks will appear. In the subtitle track, check the "default track" box and then mux the file. A new mkv file will be produced.

I believe there might be a more elegant solution, but I don't know how :)

BTW, for Matroska (and everything else) I've switched to using the CCCP codec pack (google for it), together with Quicktime alternative and Realalternative. Much faster playback, plus better looking subs.

I have just tried that and the subtitles are still disabled by default when playing the movie

I've observed that VLC does not respect the default-track property, nothing to worry about. Perhaps it will be fixed in a future release. I do continue to strongly suggest using the CCCP pack.

Hi. This is my 1st message and I'd like to say thanks for all the work you guys have been putting into AutoMKV!

Is there any way in AukoMKV to make forced subtitles (not burnt in) using the mkv container?
...
I've been having the same problem with 0.70 myself. If I choose subtitles they get burned in no matter what..

I have another problem. I encoded an episode for media size 300MBs. The final size was 285MBs. Why is that? The other 4 episodes (with the same settings) were ok (2 of them 300MBs and the other 2 at 299MBs). Here is the log for the file:

update 0.70c

www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV070c.exe

Changelog

FIXED: If "Film" or "Partly Film" is selected then no analysis is performed against Forced Film (es. if in d2v film >=97% Force Film is applyed, but if i select "Film" or "Partial Film" preset under Deinterlacer no Force film is applyed on d2v, but (for "FILM") tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate() )
FIXED: Audio now use channels downmixing options
FIXED: Avisource and DirectShowSource. First mode is AviSource is this is failing AutoMKV will swith to DirectShowSource
FIXED: More robust wmv encoding when input is mpeg4

@dlflannery
if you want to use directshowsource install ffdshow
anyway try this new build :)

@gekan
First of all Welcome to the Forum ! :)

The final size was 285MBs.
well... the reason is this CQ-ASP_Q2_eq(crf).xml in CQ mode the final file size isn't perfect ! (and you got a very good result !) look here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=116773&highlight=dabr) for more info
also look at this
Accepted values are between 298844160 and 317718528 bytes (movie+audio)
Got a file of size: 279713969 bytes + audio size 19428801 bytes (299142784)
In Advanced settings is possible to set the allow undersized and maximun oversized

again look at this (for second encoding)
CRF encoding X264: C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\encoder\x264.exe --pass 1 --crf 21.16 --stats "E:\Media\temp\.stats" --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --direct spatial --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --weightb --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8,p4x4 --8x8dct --threads 3 --output "E:\Media\temp\movie.mp4" "E:\Media\temp\movie.avs"
Accepted values are between 298844160 and 317718528 bytes (movie+audio)
Got a file of size: 268551942 bytes + audio size 17715084 bytes (286267040)
Switching to 2 pass mode
CRF encoding X264: C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\encoder\x264.exe --pass 2 --bitrate 1309 --stats "E:\Media\temp\.stats" --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --direct spatial --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --weightb --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8,p4x4 --8x8dct --threads 3 --output "E:\Media\temp\movie.mp4" "E:\Media\temp\movie.avs"

the CRF encoding got undersized and so AutoMKV switch to 2 pass mode, but since first pass was done in CRF mode, AutoMKV do another pass (the second) !

@buzzqw
Thanks a lot for the info.
The quality is good in all cases so I don't really mind about the size difference, but, for my information and because it wouldn't be bad to have all the episodes in the same size, what could I do to have one pass encoding with good quality and standard size?
Keep up the great work! :)

Edit: Btw, I have a minor bug to say. When I save jobs in the queue and exit the app and then restart it later I can only see the name of the job (queue1, queue2 etc) and not all the other columns. Everything works fine, it's just a visual thing.

what could I do to have one pass encoding with good quality and standard size?

encoding in CRF mean "I want a FIXED quality, regardless of final size. Please do your best in one pass, i don't mean size"

so what to do in 1 pass ? this a very good choice, only the 2 pass can lead a better quality at FIXED file size.

looking at your log a see this
Movie Width suggested: 1008 value based on sample size

you know (;)) that AutoMKV has a AutoResize fuction, in your case you are near full quality. This mean that you can put a fixed with of 704 (and so less time to encoding since not do autoresize)
You can try a 1P-Intemediate profile (with a fixed size of 300mb), should be a little faster, don't know about quality but should be equal (or near)

Also in your log i see Processing completed. Type is determined to be partly interlaced. this mean that autodeinterlacer test ISN'T needed. On Advanced setting select "Partly Interlaced" on "Deinterlacer" and in next box select "HYBRID" , again a speed improvment !

BHH

P.S this hints are valid for these encoding ! not for all encoding. Every encoding has own peculiarity ! :)

@dlflannery
if you want to use directshowsource install ffdshow
anyway try this new build

Note: Think I found the problem -- see near end of this post!

On my computer (#1) i already have ffdshow and when I render my AVI in graphEdit or gspot it is using the ffdshow mpeg4 decoder.

Ver. 70c still has problems I get essentially the same result with or without using "Use DirectShowSource". Files size is much too small and mediaInfro reports ~377kbps video bitrate. The duration is clipped from 151 sec to 51 sec and there is no audio. (Same whether done with "Use DirectShowSource.)

The log files are identical for the two cases.

Note that the file duration and size were determined correctly. I notice the audio sampling rate is set to 48 while this should be 44 for this profile, correct?

I double-clicked the movie.avs file created in the temp directory and it played OK in MPC. Since this is the source file for your WME script encode, I tried using it as the source file in my batch WME script encoding process. It failed with some obsure error code #. By process of elimination I determined that if I commented out the following line of movie.avs:

audio=ConvertAudioToFloat(audio).Normalize()

I could source that modified movie.avs to my batch converter and it worked perfectly!

Could it be the WME encoder doesn't like float audio?

Random.

This version works fine (on Zune Quick 1 Pass, only one I've tried). It works on both computers and with or without "Use DirectShowSource" (now that I have ffdshow on both computers). I watch the WME script encoder command window while it's running and a puzzling thing is, when using DirectShowSource, that on one computer WME never gets the video length. On the faster computer it gets the video length on the second try after the usual warning message. But the encoded video is fine in all cases.

My testing so far has been with only a 2.5 min clip, also. Does it need to be tested with a longer clip to be sure it is really OK?

Now about the GUI, a small issue:
I have saved a configuration with WMV as the container and codec, and AutoMKV comes up that way (of course). However as soon as I load the .avi file, the audio codec choices on both audio tracks go to the four mp3 types (2 AAC, Ogg and Lame). To get them back to WMV I have to go to the Container entry (which already says WMV) and select WMV again. That causes the profile to switch to a different one from what I saved so I have to re-select the profile. It also causes the audio bitrate to change from what I saved so that has to be reset also. I hope that can be fixed. It defeats the advantage of saving the configuration and leads to mistakes by the operator. (As I'm sure you understand!)

Thanks for your efforts! :thanks:

Most of the time you will want your output movies to go into the same specific folder. So if you set that folder up and then press the save settings button the output folder is saved. But every time you select a new input file the output folder is changed; and then you have to reset it up.

@buzzqw:
I've tested 0.70d with a 45 min AVI (xvid+mp3) with and without DirectShowSource. All seems OK, although I am puzzed the video bitrate is only 462 kbps while the WME command line specified 500. Is WME9 unable to control the bitrate any better than that on a single-pass CBR encode?

With my batch files this video encodes to 483 kbps video. The bitrate option is 500000 in both your CMD and my batch files. Maybe the autocrop (in AutoMKV but not in my batch process) removes enough information to explain that difference (?). Probably nothing to be concerned about, I suspect.

0.70e
FIXED: Drag&Drop use (thanks to vOjToL)
FIXED: Default WMV profile is now 2_Pass_VBR_Quick
FIXED: Change audio bitrate writing directly into free string would cause a non correct wmv audio encoding parameter
FIXED: On load of saved settings the destination directory no more change accordling to input file directory (thanks to weaver4)

i hope i had found the culprit... give me some time :o

@dlflannery
However as soon as I load the .avi file, the audio codec choices on both audio tracks go to the four mp3 types (2 AAC, Ogg and Lame).

fixed !
Also remember that at 320*xxx is easy to saturate... even with bitrate around 500.. anyway in this build i had changed i little bit the way of computing bitrate... report back if better !

Everything I've "complained" about is fixed! :thanks:

I think I see the change you made in WMV bitrate calculation:
In versions before .70e the video bitrate passed to the WME script was the bitrate entered in the advanced tab ("Specify Bitrate") minus the audio bitrate set on the basic tab. Now it appears audio bitrate is no longer subtracted. I like the new way better. :cool:

buzzqw

20th January 2007, 16:12

@dlflannery
thanks !

about bitrate computing.. not really as you said...

now i take the video bitrate multiply it by 1024 and the subtract audio bitrate multiply by 1000

like 500*1024-96*1000=416000

previusly, as you correctly said was 500*1000-96*1000=404000

BHH
@buzzqw:
When I enter 128 for audio and 628 for video the WME script option is:

-v_bitrate 641792

I don't think that matches your new calculation (??) I get 515072 using your new calculation.

I ran into a problem today encoding a movie into CQ Xvid with Lame MP3. I wish I had more to give you but the error dialog box came up and said it had a problem with audio and did I want to continue. The last thing it said in the log file was:

17:12:48 Encoding E:\Movies\temp\fixed1.ac3 To Mp3 with 5 quality

The batch file is pretty simple saw no problems there.

I tried encoding the movie using: Avi.Net, AutoGK and in Divx with Dr2. No problem with any of these applications.

What do you want me to try?

THose with AC3Filter and "dolby digital live encoding" enabled to output SPDIF crashes automkv.

Would there be a way to either have a checkbox to use the NEXT in line filter that properly decodes 6 channel audio? If not, the only solution is to disable the SPDIF out on AC3Filter while you are encoding .... even if say Nero is the next filter in the priority change

The bitrate settings are fixed as you described in the "new" .70e, thanks. You asked how I liked the change so:

1. The way you have it now is OK with me, although I would suggest calling the check box "Set total bitrate" or "Set overall bitrate" and add to the hint: "Includes audio bitrate".

2. My personal preference would be to make it just the video bitrate and label the check box "Set video bitrate" and add in the hint: "Does not include audio bitrate". Perhaps there are some formats for which this does not work (?).

Either way, but I think it would be good to make it clear to the user whether the bitrate is total or just video.

I've found another problem:
If a file already exists matching the chosen output folder and file name, the encode will appear to run OK but the existing file will not be replaced by the new encoded one. (Perhaps this only applies to WMV output files?) It doesn't matter what size or actual content is in the existing file -- if the name and extension match then it will not be replaced with the new file.

This can cause obvious problems if you are re-encoding the same input file several times to find what settings are best.

A suggestion: check to see if the output file name already exists and delete it (or change the code so it will be overwritten). You could ask the operator if the file is to be replaced.

the problem is repetable with the same source ? if so could you mail me a link where to download a snippet ? (also mail me the log)

@sjchmura
with directshowfilters is impossible to select how the decoder handle the output :( , only with a graphedit files is possible

@dlflannery
2. My personal preference would be to make it just the video bitrate and label the check box "Set video bitrate" and add in the hint: "Does not include audio bitrate". Perhaps there are some formats for which this does not work (?).
i agree with your suggestion. This bitrate value is for video not audio. Thanks for pointing this out, as is now is misleading

If a file already exists matching the chosen output folder and file name, the encode will appear to run OK but the existing file will not be replaced by the new encoded one.

is a problem only with wmv, other container are ok. Fixed in next release

EDIT: xvid 1.1.2 is also installed and on the same setup, AutoMKV's deinterlacing logic worked fine (for previous versions of AutoMKV that is).

@weaver4

the quality should be very similar.

AutoGk is superior for at least two think: it disable bframes on very high compression test (mmm... should be easy to implement...) and select custom matrix.

I can think about these features... but.. i don't know much about compressibility&matrix... i should look around... THANKS for the suggestions ! (i love to make automkv better)

@cosmos
first of all i suppose that encoding is looking good and there's no visual need of deinterlacers ? isn't true ? :)

why am i so sure ?

look at this
08:18:51 ForcedFilm applied: 98.300003% FILM found

since forced film was applyed there is no need to do apply more deinterlacers

please report back if encoding wasn't good !

Indd it seems ok, thx :)

PS: could you perhaps explain a bit what happened here? Why there was no need to have "tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate()" in the movie.avs file? Does it happen automatically?

as you know in d2v if the film % reported, and as stated by varius guides and rules, is over 97% then is safe to use "Force Film" under dgindex options.

Since you have leaved AUTO as denterlacers automkv had analyzed the d2v file and marked is as FILM and so processed the d2v as FORCE FILM was applyed.

If force film is applyed there is no need to reapply tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate() since it basically do the same thing (force film) dgindex had done.

The obvius advantage is that encoding time is quiker the cons is that not always movie with 97 or more % of FILM is really film.. (and so is better to leave the hard work to tfm/tdecimate)

So what to do?

Automkv will process in these way (based on deinterlacer selected)
AUTO: applyed force film AND NOT do the deint test
FILM: NO force film is applyed , no deint test is done BUT tfm(d2v="movie.d2v").tdecimate() is applyed

hope to be understud!

yeah thats what i mean, maybe it's a bug i have discovered.

it seems to have broken after version 0.70

basically all you need to do is open something in automkv v0.70+, take note of the output folder, now open something from another folder and you'll see that the output folder hasn't changed from when you opened the first file.

e.g.

open a file in C:\videos\ the output folder is C:\videos\ now open a file from C:\monkeys\ the output folder is still C:\videos\

i hope that makes sense :)

For me this is a feature and not a bug :) I use a common output directory and I don't want to see it switch to something else, each time I open an input file. So the way AutoMKV operates now, suits me perfectly. Then again these are personal preferences :)

maybe we could get a check box that can flip between these two behaviors of determining the output folder. :D

I used the DVD ripping capability to (try to) encode "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" to a Zune WMV (320x240) using the Zune 1-pass Quick profile. DVDFabDecypter got 4 VOB's OK and all went well except:

1. I watched the Windows Command Line Script Encoder window. It proceeded normally at the normal speed right up to the very end -- then crashed, which crashed AutoMKV too. The Windows message said it was the Script Encoder that crashed.

2. A .wmv file of the right name and length was created but MediaInfo crashed with floating point error on this file.

3. The file plays fine in WMP11 except you cannot fast forward, reverse, i.e., you just start at the beginning and let it go. The "properties" says the file duration is 0.

Any ideas what the problem was?

I used DelayCut -- should I have used ProjectX ?
I forced bitrates of 500kbps Video and 128 Kbps audio.

Edit:
I decided to try another route: Rip VOBs then combine into single .mpg using VideoReDo (VRD). VRD refused to open the fourth VOB saying it had problems and recommending a QSF (Quick Stream Fix, a feature of VRD). After the QSF that VOB would load and I generated a good MPEG of the entire DVD (at least as viewed in WMP11). I'm now converting this MPEG to Zune, which has worked in the past. Only difference is this is 24 fps "film" -- hope that's not what is crashing WME9 script.

Edit2:
Well, the mpeg->Zune encode failed exactly the same way as the DVD rip.
I had been selecting "AUTO" for deinterlace. So I tried it again selecting "NONE" for deinterlace and -- it succeeded! And -- the output file played great in WMP11 and on my Zune!

Sure would like to understand what's behind this (?) BTW gspot says 99+% "FILM" (24 fps expected to be pulled down to 30 fps) for this video, which agrees with what's in the log file from AutoMKV.

Hi BHH,

Thanks for the great tool! I am using AutoMKV to convert DVDs and uncompressed AVIs to VC1 format and I think there is a bug. Most of the uncompressed AVIs I use have no audio tracks, or empty audio tracks. When I try to convert these AVIs to VC1 I get an error from AVISynth on line 51 of the movie.avs script. It seems that even though I specified "NONE" as the audio track, the movie.avs script still tries to render audio. When I take the audio lines out, everything is fine and the VC1 video is produced. Cheers, Robert.

(This is a continuation of this prior post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=945401#post945401).)
Since setting interlace to NONE worked (once), I tried ripping directly from the DVD as source again (with NONE setting) -- failed exactly as before (WME script crashes exactly at end of encoding.)

So I tried the way that did work (once) again (with the same mpeg2 used before) and this time it crashed the usual way.

Since the video is 99+% "film" I tried setting interlace to FILM. This worked, and has worked three times now (same input). The log files always say "forcing film" regardless of the interlace setting. I wonder if this is actually happening ONLY when I set interlace to FILM (?). Shouldn't setting Interlace to AUTO be the same, since it is detecting film? I notice the WME9 encoding speed is slower when interlace is set to FILM, which makes me suspect something is different.

What should I look for in movie.avs (or where?) to tell whether it is actually forcing film?

Edit:
Think I answered my own question. The movie.avs file for interlace = FILM (which works) contains the following line:

tfm(d2v="C:\MPEG4_encodes\AutoMKV\temp\movie.d2v").tdecimate()

while for interlace = AUTO or NONE this line is missing (and encoding fails) . Shouldn't this line be there for AUTO, since it is detecting 99+% film ?

Edit #2:
And finally, with interlace set to FILM, I was able to do what I originally set out to do: Rip/Encode the DVD video to a good Zune Video!

I've noticed that DVDDecrypter rips a DVD a lot faster than DVDFabDecrypter (used by AutoMKV). I think it's because it runs my DVD drive at a higher speed.

If I rip to a hard disc folder, can I load the first video VOB as a file into AutoMKV then expect it to automatically combine all the VOB's as the source? (i.e., like it does when you rip within AutoMKV)

@dlflannery

projectx should be used only with TS files never with vob files

and about FILM/FORCE FILM... using force film with dgindex (as i do) or using tfm().tdecimate() is the same thing (near...)

anyway in next update i will not use force film on FILM but let autodeint choose's best

This should resolve all problem with FILM ! :)

if you rip all film just point at first ifo, or point at first one's vob belonging to film like vts_01_1.vob, all vob of this vts would be automatically processed!

In my tests I varied Interlace = AUTO or NONE or FILM.
But I kept the Field Order on AUTO for all tests.
I notice the -FO option on dgIndex was always 0, never 1 (Force Film). When you say "... using force film with dgindex (as i do)" do you mean the -FO option should be 1 ?

Thanks! :D However I'm not quite sure what you mean. Does this mean the tfm().tdecimate() will be used on my test video (99.4% film) if I select AUTO for both interlace and field order ? I believe this is the only way it wouild work on that video (unless I set FILM in interlace -- which means I have to analyze the video before with gspot or some other program before loading into AutoMKV -- not automatic. :( )

@dlflannery

some serius misurestanding are around...

FILM type could detected or by analyzing the d2v (as atuomkv do NOW) or by running autodeint or by selection FILM type on deinterlacer

in next update if the clip is FILM
1) if autodeint is AUTO then tfm(xxx).tdecimate() is applyed
2) if autodeint is FILM then tfm(xxx).tdecimate() is applyed
3) if autodeint is Interlaced (as example) then tdeint() is applyed
4) if autodeint is NONE then NO DEINTELACER or TFM() is applyed at all, or is done the deint test!

Field order is to leave ALWAYS AUTO unless you know the order!

I notice the -FO option on dgIndex was always 0, never 1 (Force Film). When you say "... using force film with dgindex (as i do)" do you mean the -FO option should be 1 ?

... as i said i don't re-run digindex on FILM, i simply change the d2v file and values as force film was applyed ;)

i hope to be clear :)

First of all, thank you for this program, it is very useful for us who don't know too much about encoding.

I notice when go to advanced audio options and change whatever settings there (example, mp3 vbr to mp3 cbr) it is not memorized.
When you back there, same settings is shown, nothing is changed.

I hope this can be fixed, thank you.

hi buzzqw,

I have a little request/ contest for you :)

recently I more or less decided to play around with .flv files. As it is of now the only free application for flv output is RIVA (http://www.rivavx.com/index.php?id=483&L=0).

RIVA uses FFmpeg and LAME and FLVTool2 (http://inlet-media.de/flvtool2/), but they use a very old version of FFmpeg (ffmpeg version 0.4.9-pre1, build 4751).

It would be very nice to have another free alternative to existing Flash encoder (like Macromedia Flash 8 Video Encoder (http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/flashpro/productinfo/encoder/) or ON2's Flix Pro (http://www.on2.com/consumer/flix-pro))

this is a typical encode using RIVA (respectively FFmpeg ...)

update ! 0.72b

www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV072b.exe

Changelog 0.72b
ADDED: If Autoresize is enabled (and codec is XviD) AutoMKV will change the number of bframes and Quantitizer Ratio based on autoresize settings (only if autoresize will lead to very big width)
ADDED: If deint is set to Leave Interlaced with x264.exe is added --interlaced
ADDED: In X264 profiles added <interlaced>false</interlaced>. If this value is set to true then --interlaced will be added, if this value is false and deint is not "Leave Interlaced" no --interlaced will be add (these <interlaced> will be added in next full package)
ADDED: If Matrix selected is AUTO (and codec is XviD) this will trigger Adaptive Custom Matrix choice (will be triggered only by very high compression test (>100))
FIXED: RemoveGrain(mode=2) is again the default denoiser
FIXED: Queuing mpeg files and avi could bring to freeze of AutoMKV
FIXED: Muxing into AVI without audio
FIXED: Remove autodetection of force film. Now i let do to BDautodeint detect FILM type
FIXED: Encoding avi files with no audio in wmv container was broken (thanks to rjcobain)
FIXED: On WMV encoding the file wasn't always correctly moved on destination folder
FIXED: Changed default quality for autoresize with WMV is now 85

@Rogi

this behavior is wanted :)

set values as you want and automkv will remeber it (fyi after selecting your values and cliccked ok, click on save settings, you will read on automkv.ini those values)

@sillKotscha

interesting for sure ! and also easy to implement but this will lead to a new application. FFmpeg has awesome possibility and need a full branded program... anyway i will study it :)

Will AutoMKV support the new Apple TV box; I looked at one, it is very sharp.

Anyone make a profile for it yet?

DDogg

31st January 2007, 03:03

Buzz, I am doing some slight mods on the CQ-ASP_Q2_eq(crf).xml profile for use with NTSC DV files. (Stellar results so far). I ran into a problem with the way you pick up a value from the template.

When time allows, can you check <BframePredictionMode>0</BframePredictionMode> ?

I believe "0" should translate as "--direct none"?
Presently it shows as "auto" which causes problems with NTSC DV.avi files and M4G Smooth V1 Matrix (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=887125#post887125)(can you add the M4G's (http://forum.doom9.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=6561&stc=1&d=1166687500) to the full pack next full build?)

With a little more research I think we can have a new modified CQ profile for NTSC DV that yields a file near identical to the original in appearance with a size reduction of 5 to 1.

Btw, that brings up a request for future consideration. Since you are saving the AutoMKV settings already, it would be helpful to be able to load them by name. For instance, when I do DV I need manual crop 8x8x8x8/640x480, "Leave interlaced", Force 4:3, my CQ DV template with --Direct=none / --no-fast-pskip, FFT3DGPU(plane=3,sigma=3), and the M4G Smooth V1 Matrix matrix. Obviously all of this has to be changed for my standard DVD based encodes.

So, to be able to load my carefully selected "DV settings", in one go, a month after I figured them out and saved them as "My DV settings" (and forgot them after a bottle of wine) would be a very good thing. I also like this idea because one person could post a settings file for another to try.

@dlflannery
..........
FILM type could detected or by analyzing the d2v (as atuomkv do NOW) or by running autodeint or by selection FILM type on deinterlacer

in next update if the clip is FILM
1) if autodeint is AUTO then tfm(xxx).tdecimate() is applyed
2) if autodeint is FILM then tfm(xxx).tdecimate() is applyed
3) if autodeint is Interlaced (as example) then tdeint() is applyed
4) if autodeint is NONE then NO DEINTELACER or TFM() is applyed at all, or is done the deint test!

Field order is to leave ALWAYS AUTO unless you know the order!
...........
BHH
I ran the same test video I've been using (99% FILM) using AUTO for Interlace and Field Order. It crashed the WME9 script just at the end of encoding, as it was doing before (unless I set FILM in the interlace setting).

The only difference between the movie.avs files for the good and bad cases is the tdecimate line where the bad case has
tdecimate(hybrid=3) and the good case has tdecimate().

Here is an excerpt from the log file for the bad case:

@DDogg
... those matrixs are already present...

about the preset... is REALLY a good idea... in some way is already present just launch from DOS automkv.exe "my_dv_profile.ini"
the file my_dv_profile.ini is just a save setting of automkv

i will look how to implement.. but i don't want to break the already command line interface and queue

about --direct none, done in next release !

@dlflannery
this is now a problem of either tdecimate or wmv, please post a sample that is able to replicate the problem. Also try encoding this movie with xvid or x264 and please report if got the error again :thanks:

@buzzqw

Take some free time to make tests with short clips. I've done avi with XviD + mp3 cbr settings,
but there is again problem with mp3 cbr.
GSpot shows me Xvid + mp3 VBR despite fact I changed to cbr in settings (checked in automkv.ini there is cbr).

Maybe is best to make yourself short test and see do you get same problem as I did.

Hope that will help you to make your program even better.

buzzqw

31st January 2007, 13:15

take a look at mkvmaudio.bat
what is written ?

from my test is ok...

just a BIG NOTE... quality preset are always VBR, for a CBR encoding you cannot use "6" (as default value) as value.

So hit advanced audio button, select CBR, click ok, on the value of bitrate write something reasonable... like 128 or 144 :)

try!

Adding the ini to the shortcut on the desktop, like AutoMKV.exe DV.ini works fine. Thanks.

Hats off to buzzqw for a fine tool. I am enjoying my first days of tinkering with AutoMKV.

Quick question so far (can't find an answer on searching). How do I change the movie title, either before or after encode? The default title is put as "Done with AutoMKV 0.72b http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=854221" and it shows in my playlist in VLC, so I can't tell which movie is which if I have more than one in my playlist. ;)

I can change it in VLC, but it doesn't write to the file - it goes back to the "Done with..." upon reloading file.

Thanks again!

CE profiles should be already good... i will check

@sidewalking

thanks for your kind words!

with wmv encoding the parameter in profile is <copyright> if this is set to false than i will automatically add the string Done by Automkv...., if this value is different from false i will add what written

in mkv muxing the title is taken from advanced audio setting, the "Title" string, if leaved blank i will add Done with AutoMKV... if is written something (like title of movie) i will add this string :)

Hi BHH!

Thanks again for your great program :)

I just had a problem with autoresize from avi source to mkv:

I recoded an xvid avi file to x264 mkv using your standard settings. Auto resize correctly lowers the resolution from 960*528 to e.g. 448*256, but the aspect ratio of the created mkv seems to be saved wrong: VLC plays the video stretched using the correct width but the wrong height.

If i select MP4 as a containter though, the AR is correct?!
I compared both logs and didnt find any differences.

Hope you can help me out,
Thanks!

on avi input (or any mpeg4 input files) i don't know the original aspect ration.

While on mpeg2 this value is valorized on avi no, so you will see that in muxing string there is this "--aspect-ratio 1:1.000000"

That's the whole point. In advanced setting select "Force muxing AR" to 4:3 or 16:9 or to any correct value :)

about muxing in mp4... well ... mp4box seems to ignore the par value... so is like mkv string without --aspect-ratio

@dlflannery
this is now a problem of either tdecimate or wmv, please post a sample that is able to replicate the problem. Also try encoding this movie with xvid or x264 and please report if got the error again :thanks:

BHH
I encoded it to xvid (avi) using normal profile and same bitrate and width as for Zune. No problem. Good result.

I started cutting clips of different sizes and positions from the mpeg2 to test. The shortest clip I have that failed with interlace set to AUTO is the last 11.5 minutes of the video, which is 171 MB. I might be willing to upload that (where?) but it would take me about 1.5 hour.

I generated about 8 different clips. The problem is associated with the last few minutes of the video. However I could not find a cut less than the 11.5 minutes that had the problem. Some of the clips greater than 11.5 minutes failed. For every clip that failed, if I changed interlace setting to "film", they encoded fine. I also tried film setting on some of the clips that were OK with AUTO. They all encoded fine.

I suspect the problem occurs where the movie ends and the credits begin to roll.

One two-minute clip was typed as progressive by AutoMKV and dgIndex but was rated 3:2 "player telecine" (i.e., film) by gspot. The other clips were rated either film or partly film by AutoMKV. The ones that failed to encode were 99.4% film and were rated partly film. One that was 97.5% film and was rated partly film was encoded OK.

Is it possible you have a threshold of 99.5% film for when you decide to use the hybrid=3 in tdecimate? Based on my results I think if this threshold were lowered to perhaps 97%, it would give better overall results (perhaps for WMV only?). But I don't claim to understand what's going on......

Can you give a link for an explanation of what hybrid=3 does in tdecimate? I've searched and found descriptions of tdecimate but they don't explain hybrid=3.:thanks:

the main problem is that i live in PAL land... so most of this source files are simply missing, and i cannot do test :(

I encoded it to xvid (avi) using normal profile and same bitrate and width as for Zune. No problem. Good result.

that's mean it is a problem of wmv

I suspect the problem occurs where the movie ends and the credits begin to roll.

while xvid/x264 are able to process the stream seems that wmv isn't capable...

please open your movie.avs, and change hybrid=3 to hybrid=1 and reecond both with xvid and wmv (simply relaunch the bat encoding), and tell me if the encoding crash and most important if the quality is good, also please don't use a resolution under 640 :thanks: !!

So to do this, I check "Prepare phase only" on the Advanced tab, then when it stops I edit the movie.avs file, then launch the encoding batch file , correct ?

Does it matter whether I shut down AutoMKV before running the encoding batch?

Thanks. BTW I found the thread on tritical's TDeint and TIVTC so I know what hybrid=1 and hybrid=3 mean now (I think:) )

you can also edit an already present movie.avs, changing from hybrid=3 to hybrid=1, and then launch encoding batch files like movie_wmv.bat

Hi!
I've just registered to tell you, that AutoMKV is a really great program! :)

I have also a few questions, maybe some suggestions. I'm not that experienced with the encoding/ripping terminology, so maybe I will ask some things which may sound primitive to the experienced user. I'm sorry about that.

I used Dr. DivX and then AutoGK for ripping, and a month ago I decided to switch to Matroska and AutoMKV. At first I experimented with X264 but realized that the encoding is way to slow on my comp (I need to finish the ripping during one night which is not enough with X264 on my Barton 2600+ 1GB RAM). So I stayed with XviD.

So my questions/suggestions are:
- better interaction with the user, tooltips which are visible not only 1x

- I had pretty serious problems with one film (The 13th Warrior). First the encoding proccess always failed with AutoMKV versions 0.68-0.71, and always at 51-52% (XviD_encraw.exe). It was caused probably by the splitting bug (fixed in 0.71). The encoding finished successfully with AutoMKV 0.72, but there was no movie at the end, just a couple of temp files in the TEMP folder. It took me 2 days to realize the cause of the problem: VSRip.exe created no subtitle file (.IDX/.SUB pair) in the TEMP folder, and in the final stage (muxing with MKVMerge) the program just exited without doing anything because of the missing .IDX/.SUB files. So it would be great if AutoMKV would find these kind of problems (missing files) at time and report it to the user (or just stop the job).

- better visual representation of audio/subtitle choosing and options. We can include 1, 2 or all subtitle/audio streams, but not 3 (for example). I came across several DVDs with at least 5 languages + director's comments, and I wished to include 3 streams but not all 6.

- I miss one option from AutoGK, and that's the percentage-style ripping, when we lose control of size and we give a quality percentage instead (80% gave near-DVD quality). In AutoMKV this is the CQ XviD profile, when we hit "Unlimited size". But that's it, there are no other options (at least I think :) ). I tested this option with 2 films. The 1st film gave a 900 MB final movie size, and the 2nd a 1 GB size movie. The 2nd movie was pretty good in quality, but the 1st wasn't, especially when I compared with a 2 CD version of the same film. With the 2nd film I tried to play with the "Specify Bitrate" option a bit (and entered 2000 :) ), but it produced a 1 GB film (weird), and XviD_encraw.exe always showed a much smaller average bitrate. Does the "Specify Bitrate" option works with XviD or only with other codecs (like WMV)? What if I wish to manually apply a very high bitrate in case I wish to use Sharktooth's V3UHS custom matrix? Is it possible?

Once again, AutoMKV is a great program, I'm looking forward for the next releases! :)

Well pretty much this is the first time as I'm trying this software (right now) looks friendly besides two things !

Profiles CQ,CE,AE not sure yet what those mean, but I'll seek around the forum, also the quality of audio is represented way that I'm not used to it since I always saw kbps measuring.It looks solid, grabbed Nero encoder, Avisynth as far it goes no errors.Thanks and hope it will crawl up to the perfection same as AutoGK.

please open your movie.avs, and change hybrid=3 to hybrid=1 and reecond both with xvid and wmv (simply relaunch the bat encoding), and tell me if the encoding crash and most important if the quality is good, also please don't use a resolution under 640
........
you can also edit an already present movie.avs, changing from hybrid=3 to hybrid=1, and then launch encoding batch files like movie_wmv.bat
.......

I used the 11.5 min Mpeg2 clip that failed before (with interlace=AUTO, hybrid=3, width=320, Bitrate=500k, to Zune WMV).

I changed width to 640 and bitrate to 900 for all tests.

Results:
WMV, hybrid=3 or hybrid=1, identical results: encoder crashed at end. Video and audio were OK but no navigation (seeking) was possible.
NOTE: In other tests done before with different clips, the encoder would not always crash but would quit early creating a very small output file.

WMV, tdecimate(), i.e., no hybrid: Everything OK. Looks good.

AVI(XVID), Fastest 1-pass, Interlace=AUTO, hybrid=3: All OK, looks good.

AVI(XVID), Fastest 1-pass, hybrid=1, Encoding finished OK and Video and Audio are good, but playing at different rates. In sync at start then audio lag increases as you go. Media info says the video is 9.2 min, which is 24/30 of the true length. (I suspect this is just wrong audio processing or muxing for the hybrid=1 ? I used fullbatch.bat)

I hope this tells you something useful !

So I'm done with my rip, quality kinda ok but I get those smooth waves/lines in video especially when lots of movement is present.No idea why, deinterlace was set to auto...

@papsi

thanks for your suggestion... maybe i will add some more sanity check :)

better interaction with the user, tooltips which are visible not only 1x

that's no possible... it's a bug of WINDOWS ! (if you want i can demostrate it... go with mouse over the date in system tray and wait till it fade away, then retry to view the tooltip.... nope!)

better visual representation of audio/subtitle choosing and options. We can include 1, 2 or all subtitle/audio streams, but not 3 (for example). I came across several DVDs with at least 5 languages + director's comments, and I wished to include 3 streams but not all 6.
well that's no easy... but hints: select all audio tracks then when all is finished "manual mux" the tracks you want...

With the 2nd film I tried to play with the "Specify Bitrate" option a bit (and entered 2000 ), but it produced a 1 GB film (weird), and XviD_encraw.exe always showed a much smaller average bitrate. Does the "Specify Bitrate" option works with XviD or only with other codecs (like WMV)?

two answer: yes, bitrate is used for all codecs, xvid or x264 or wmv, just check use specified bitrate. Second... is probably that with 2000 bitrate you have saturate (saturated: aka no more quality possible due to other constraints) so the movie cannot growth more...

What if I wish to manually apply a very high bitrate in case I wish to use Sharktooth's V3UHS custom matrix? Is it possible?
for sure ! just try! :)

So I'm done with my rip, quality kinda ok but I get those smooth waves/lines in video especially when lots of movement is present.No idea why, deinterlace was set to auto...

as always :logfile: thanks!

i wish to thanks all. i will study how to do automkv a better program!

i think AutoMKV just deleted the whole content of a 400GB NTFS partition

AutoMKV was enconding a video file and a warning popped up, saying that some x264cmdq bat-file couldn't be found. i clicked it away. at that time i was making adjustments for another video in the mainscreen and suddenly all the options changed again to the standard settings (not my saved settings, also in the advanced settings tab) and then the AutoMKV process used quite some CPU power but has not spawned any child processes with cmd.exe which it usually does.
the first video was on another partition as the 2nd one, which was on this 400 GB partition, which is now entirely empty. not even RECYCLER or System Volume Information is there.

i don't have any viruses/spyware but i'm doing a full virus scan of my system now. i even did a rootkit scan this week which didn't find anything.
there was not anything else running what could've caused this.

for now the drive is disconnected because next week (or tomorrow if i'm lucky) i'm getting new hard disks, then i can clone the drive and see if i can recover any data

edit: there is nothing useful in the event log
edit2: AutoMKV version 0.72b

buzzqw, do you think that is possible, that AutoMKV did this?

Automkv cannot delete system files ! like recycler bin or system restore !
also "Delete temporary files" is not checked by default and even more i delete only the \temp directory i created ! :scared:

i am sorry but automkv will not delete any other files

anyway in next build i will check if \temp directory is the root of driver (and this is impossible since i create it, and i cannot create a d:\ !!!! ) (like c:\ or d:\ e:\.... i will check till i:\ ) and if so i will not delete it

damn, then i have to figure out what else could've caused this.
the virus scan didn't find anything

the drive is just a couple of month old and had the letter i:
i DID check the option to delete the temp files...

2nd February 2007, 16:37

before i had this problem i wanted to post this:

a few things which would be nice:
(sorry if they were already mentioned, i'm too lazy to read the whole thread. i used the version 0.72b as reference)

+ no windows popping up

+ multichannel AAC. it seems pretty hard to do it as far as i've googled. at least i didn't find any (free) program to do it. even with besweet i couldn't do it (AC3 source).

+ autosaving of the settings when exiting

+ better queue management:
- cancel the current running progress
- an option not to clear the job if it finished successfully
- display the duration time and avg. FPS (1st+2nd pass) of a finished job
- IMHO the queue itself as an extra tab is not userfriendly. maybe at the bottom of the window, visible all the time, regardless which tab is selected
- maybe put every job in the queue ("start" button equals "put it in the queue and start it")
- status display in the main screen (sth is running, job xxx finished etc)
- no popup message if a job was added to the queue, i find it annoying. better just write it somewhere (status display :)
- option for less columns
(- ETA of the whole job. probably not possible? or maybe just after the 2nd pass startet, that ETA of x264.exe should be reliable)

+ less verbosive log file

+ display the estimated bitrate for the selected options for audio and video, if possible. maybe a button which calculates that (fast)

buzzqw

2nd February 2007, 17:04

i DID check the option to delete the temp files...

feel free to retry on usb pen drive, i cannot delete the root files!

+ no windows popping up
i had already removed lot's of pop-up... but i will try (as always to remove some more)

+ multichannel AAC. it seems pretty hard to do it as far as i've googled.
Already avaiable. just select Codinc Tech. AAC (already present) or nero digital if you download it!

+ autosaving of the settings when exiting
already present....in some way... just hit save setting, will be automatically loaded on next restart

queue: ouch.. i will look at it :)

+ less verbosive log file
is all needed, for debugging

display the estimated bitrate for the selected options for audio and video, if possible. maybe a button which calculates that (fast)
not so easy since its based on quality preset... but i will search

thanks for your support!

Hi Buzz

Congratulations for your program

Just a question , where can I find the manual of automkv ?

I have just some questions about the different matrices

Which one do you advise me to choose ? HVS or 6o9

Thanks

Hi.
Really nice program. Here is some input:

First of all, the window looks quite messed up for me using 120 DPI. Here is a screenshot showing what I mean: screenshot (http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~stolpep/automkv.jpg)

Second: I would like the option to add srt subtitles instead of the bitmap based subtitles from the disc. Its not much of a problem to add them later, but it would be neat if they could be imported directly into AutoMKV.

Third: I would like to see a small text describing each of the Profiles. Especially the x264 profiles arent exactly self-explainatory to me. Like, what is AE, CE and HQ? I guess that HQ means High Quality, but is that the quality of my input or how i want my output? (based on how much time i want to spend)

Hi again!

Just wanted to know if AutoMKV also normalises the audio stream just like AutoGK, cos i think its a really good feature, as the sound of some dvds is quite low or unconstant.

thanks!

buzzqw

2nd February 2007, 23:14

Just a question , where can I find the manual of automkv ? :( nope... not now.. i must write it... sorry

6of9... my preferred...but in next updated i have greater improved the "auto matrix" selection for xvid (you can use it already, just select auto on matrix)

@Greeneemer

120 dpi... not easy i must look around ...

Second: I would like the option to add srt subtitles instead of the bitmap based subtitles from the disc. Its not much of a problem to add them later, but it would be neat if they could be imported directly into AutoMKV

i have some idea :)

I guess that HQ means High Quality, but is that the quality of my input or how i want my output? (based on how much time i want to spend)

in next full pack i will rework most of profiles.
AE: Anime Encoding
CE: Common Encoding
HQ: high quality and slow encoding
is what you want as output...

Just wanted to know if AutoMKV also normalises the audio stream just like AutoGK, cos i think its a really good feature, as the sound of some dvds is quite low or unconstant.

already present, even more.. in advanced audio is possible to disable it!

Thanx for your reply!

2 more question: when I click on the '!!!' button (which contains the hidden audio options), the Normalize check box is always checked. I thought that AC3 audio can't be normalized, but I'm not so sure anymore... :) So does it normalize the audio stream when I choose AC3 audio output (in other words, when I choose original audio)?

two answer: yes, bitrate is used for all codecs, xvid or x264 or wmv, just check use specified bitrate. Second... is probably that with 2000 bitrate you have saturate (saturated: aka no more quality possible due to other constraints) so the movie cannot growth more...

The 2nd question: so that means, when I enter a specific bitrate, and XviD is checked, AutoMKV will try to use that unless it's already too high so it cannot get more quality? But why was the quality of the movie lower then a normal 2 CD rip of the same film? Actually when I choose a custom matrix, will AutoMKV use different bitrates to match an interval which is best with that custom matrix? For example, if I choose SharkTooth's UHS matrix which is best used when bitrate is over 3000 kbps, will AutoMKV try to give that bitrate? Or in that case is it better to check the Specify bitrate option and manually enter 3000?

Sorry if I sound stupid :lol:

@buzzqw: It seems that in 072b an older bug reappeared. Specifically, I'm queing multiple files. The shutdown flag is enabled for all of them. Two bugs: only the first file in the queue is processed. And when it is finished, instead of shutting down, the system simply logs off

@papsi

the audio is normalized only when trascoding from ac3 (or other source) to NOT AC3. Isn't possibly to adjust volume if you copy original.

The 2nd question: so that means, when I enter a specific bitrate, and XviD is checked, AutoMKV will try to use that unless it's already too high so it cannot get more quality?
yes, but isn't automkv that cap this is codec. it's called SATURATION

But why was the quality of the movie lower then a normal 2 CD rip of the same film?
a two pass encoding is always better then one pass (at similar average bitrate)

Actually when I choose a custom matrix, will AutoMKV use different bitrates to match an interval which is best with that custom matrix?
no, automkv will simply apply this matrix, whatever could be the bitrate computed

Or in that case is it better to check the Specify bitrate option and manually enter 3000?
better to leave media size 1/2 dvd (or bitrate 3000) and go to sleep... next morning you will have a beautiful movie! :)

Sorry if I sound stupid :lol:
isn't stupid questions, just search in forum there is a loot to learn ! :) :thanks:

@cosmos
should be fixed in next release

@Unrealbr
are you joking ?

anyway i hope in next week to build a new full package, i had done already some works (just fyi
ADDED: In Advanced settings two HVS_AQ string (take from http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=114811 )
ADDED: Sanity ceck before deleting \temp direcory. if this is a root directory isn't deleted. NOTE: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT AUTOMKV WILL WORK ON A ROOT DIRECTORY SINCE IT CREATES THE \TEMP DIRECTORY!!! (suggestion by mael)
ADDED: Possibility to specify quality. This value overrides encoding mode, all encoding will be done in 1 pass (or 1 pass for autoresize + 1 pass for encoding). AutoMKV will take all values from selected profile's but will do a CQ encoding. Not saved in queue mode. (suggestion by dlflannery). NOTE THE CURVE OF QUANT IS TO TUNE. FEEL FREE TO SUGGESTS
ADDED: Possibility to load external Subtitle file.
FIXED: If <BframePredictionMode> if 0 then --direct none is applyed to x264 command line (suggestion by DDogg) (and fyi 1=--direct spatial , 2=--direct temporal , 3=--direct auto)
FIXED: Some tuning to Auto Matrix choice
FIXED: Sometimes AviMux_GUI not use values written in muxavi but old setting in config.ini.amg file. Now i will change this file every time before muxing. (thanks to DDogg and
FIXED: Switching from queue to standard mode will break the shutdown fuction (thanks to cosmos)
FIXED: If subtitles weren't correctly extract the muxing will not break but will mux without subtitles (thanks to papsi)

and will work on x264 profiles, probably renaming it and tuning, and i hope :fingercrossed: a manual

Good! A few freinds of mine have come to rely upon this little app for their encoding needs. The others I'm introducing to it now are less educated in these matters and would definitely need a few of the fixes mentioned in your list.

Buzz, I gotta teach you how to hint better like, "Damn, guys, I am just busting my backside for months, everyday, making AutoMKV solid and dependable for you ... can't a few of you help work on a freaking manual ???" :)

Actually, I wish I understood the Wiki thing as that would be a good place to do something where different folks could add on and expand.

Is a Wikimaster out there ... anybody?

buzzqw

4th February 2007, 16:55

Sorry pals but this weekend i preferred coding some fuctions like Btw, that brings up a request for future consideration. Since you are saving the AutoMKV settings already, it would be helpful to be able to load them by name. and fixing long path name errors (or i hope so :) ) , and a near like system status (that will inform you what automkv is doing, suggest help... ... and btw i need tips to add the fuction)

no manual. but i ufficially added it to todo list :)

@buzzqw
I tried a conversion to my usual Zune format (320 width, bitrate = 500 kbps) but using the 1_Pass_Quality_Quick profile (WME9 codec). I noticed the bitrate option was not used on the WME script command line. The video came out at 395 kbps, so the total bitrate was 395+128 = 523 kbps.

I thought the bitrate was for video only and should be passed to the encoder (?).

buzzqw

4th February 2007, 18:27

@dlflannery
very very quick answer: you had selecte a QUALITY profiles, not a BITRATE profiles !

In quality mode i pass "-v_quality 90" (as example) not the bitrate ! :)

@Henrikx
ok, i think i have understud, the user DON'T HAVE Nero AAC Encoder and so automkv will switch to OGG encoder. The question for audio failing is another... i could suppose a problem of bitrate (0.75 quality for ogg). In next version i will use CCT AAC (better compatibility) and correct audio bitrate.

Please tell you friend to not use nero if it haven't installed...

So we cannot link more on your program and not more speak about it, in German doom9 Forum !
Is there perhaps a solution?

2.After installing NeroAACEnc.exe into the besweet folder,the same mistake.

about the error:

seems that something gone bad with audio delay fix
... is movie t01...xxx.ac3 present ?
is fixed1.ac3 present ? (i suppose not...)

also check in advanced setting to disable delay cut

last question is dvd preprocessed in someway ? this is important to know since i demux only the audio track requested and if in ifo the audio is the second track BUT , due to preprocessing, the audio is now first, i cannot demux anything ! (hope to be understud)

A minor bug in 072b: entering a title in the advanced settings of audio, at "Muxing Options"/"Title" does not make the title appear. Instead the "produced by automkv..." appears.

And a couple of suggestions:
1) If the language in advanced settings is "xxx" ("eng" for example), then:
* default the video stream in mkvtoolnix to have a "xxx" language
* default the audio stream in Audio Track 1 and Audio Track 2 to be the same "xxx" language

This way, when I preselect "eng" and go to the advanced settings of "audio track 1", "eng" is already selected instead of "und". ;)

in this ifo there is only one audio track, a german audio, and it is the first, so when automkv start dgindex it demux the first audio, but is missing... (i need a fragment of vob... but i suppose is a bug this vob..., user can demux manually with dgindex)

Also, with autogk is ok ?

Selecting all audio tracks i start dgindex in "demux all tracks" mode, and so is ok

I am trying this now with "The Gladiator" and am encoding it on the xvid_extra_slow preset

it decided to make the resolution 416x192 with a bitrate of 601kbps, which works out to be about 820mb, which is a bit low since I set it for 1400mb

with the ac3 audio it'd probably be about 1.1ish gb, which is the same as whats happened with all the other movies Ive tried

buzzqw

xvid_encraw... give more problem at size than wmv !

i can assure that bitrate computed is ok.

i think that is needed a different approach:

select 2 cd (or 1400), audio original, as profile choose SAP and after profile choose as matrix sharktooth LR

please try and give me good information ! :)

could you also please post the log of both (this one and previus) encoding ?

BHH

Here's the first part of the log for an encoding of "Mystic River." I set it for original audio, SAP, and sharktooth LR. (the log was too long to post at once)

I deleted the log for it with Xvid_extra_slow and "auto" for the matrix, and am running it now.

This encoding spat out a file that was 1.18gb in size, and plays the video too fast, so the video stops ~20 minutes early. The audio plays fine, though.

@Unrealbr

already done !

@dyne

This encoding spat out a file that was 1.18gb in size, and plays the video too fast, so the video stops ~20 minutes early.

i need the log, please ! (i suppose FILM type was detected..., but please need the log)

@dyne

THANKS ! got the error for 20 minutes off!

also you got saturated
Movie Width suggested: 800 value based on sample size (111.11% of original width)

in next update the AUTO matrix will be the default value (and should fix this encoding !!!)

@Unrealbr
yes, next update !

thank you for the utlitiy :)

How do people make 2 CD (1400mb) rips with out saturating it?

buzzqw

8th February 2007, 14:36

not every movies goes saturated with 2 cd (try save private ryan or gladiator..) , what to do ? auto matrix (or high rate matrix like didee 6of9), no filtering, high quality resize like lanczosresize

in this way you don't saturated at all (is enough the matrix...)

Update ! TWO New full package !

www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV074.rar -> full as usuall (but without NeroAACEnc.exe)
www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV074_NO_RIPPER.rar -> without DvdFabDecrypter AND NeroAACEnc.exe)

0.74 Full Package 09/02/2007
ADDED: In Advanced settings two HVS_AQ string (take from http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=114811 )
ADDED: Sanity ceck before deleting \temp direcory. if this is a root directory isn't deleted. NOTE: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE THAT AUTOMKV WILL WORK ON A ROOT DIRECTORY SINCE IT CREATES THE \TEMP DIRECTORY!!! (suggestion by mael)
ADDED: Possibility to specify quality. This value overrides encoding mode, all encoding will be done in 1 pass (or 1 pass for autoresize + 1 pass for encoding). AutoMKV will take all values from selected profile's but will do a CQ encoding. Not saved in queue mode. (suggestion by dlflannery). NOTE THE CURVE OF QUANT IS TO TUNE. FEEL FREE TO SUGGESTS
ADDED: Possibility to load external Subtitle file.
ADDED: On main window a status line. Here i reported automkv works, tips, and more. It's very incomplete, please feel obligated to suggest more display (suggestion by mael)
ADDED: In advanced setting possibility to save and load customizable settings (suggestion by DDogg)
ADDED: BicubicResize with default value, FastBilinearResize, Spline36Resize http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=112594
FIXED: If Nero AAC isn't present Automkv will now switch to CCT AAC, for better compatibility pourpose, also the bitrate will be corrected
FIXED: If selected CCT AAC audio encoder the audio was encoded two times
FIXED: Long path. When encoding string is over 530 characters dos cannot understand the command line. Now i will launch directly the exe with the parameters, this should fix the problem (thanks to karasu)
FIXED: If <BframePredictionMode> if 0 then --direct none is applyed to x264 command line (suggestion by DDogg) (and fyi 1=--direct spatial , 2=--direct temporal , 3=--direct auto)
FIXED: Some tuning to Auto Matrix choice
FIXED: Sometimes AviMux_GUI not use values written in muxavi but old setting in config.ini.amg file. Now i will change this file every time before muxing. (thanks to DDogg)
FIXED: Switching from queue to standard mode will break the shutdown fuction (thanks to cosmos)
FIXED: If subtitles weren't correctly extract the muxing will not break but will mux without subtitles (thanks to papsi)
FIXED: AutoMKV is now working on 120 DPI monitor (or i hope so)
FIXED: Now when selecting on Advanced audio setting ABR or CBR for Lame, the bitrate displayed is correct
FIXED: No pop-up after selecting media file (not on ifo). Now bbsummary starts hidden
FIXED: Using CCT AAC encoder AutoMKV will switch to --lc profile if bitrate is over 128
FIXED: Added a sanity check that even on ifo input if dgindex don't demux selected audio tracks it will restart in demux all tracks mode (thanks to Schotenhüter)
FIXED: When using XviD and movie is FILM/Decimating, AutoMKV will pass correct framerate to xvid_encraw (thanks to dyne)
FIXED: If user select the deinteralcer BUT not the Order, AutoMKV will use Hybrid Order.
UPDATE: CCT AAC audio encoder
UPDATE: DgIndex to 1.4.9 beta 13

Regarding the problems I had with DVD-to-WMV (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=947879#post947879), I have not seen a solution (did I miss it?). Is it just a problem with WME and nothing can be done? (This means the user has to analyze the video before putting it into AutoMKV in order to choose the interlace mode -- not "Auto".)

Thanks!

wow that was fast. Just a little quibble, in your new status bar there is a typo "star ripping", also "Let's Encoding" sounds funny, might I suggest "Let's Encode!" or "Encoding Started". also it would be nice if the status bar indicated whether it was on the fist or second pass (I don't know if it does that, I'm still on the first pass.)
Keep up the excelent work! AutoMKV just keeps getting better and better.

Hello. I have 2 question.
1: Can I use AutoMkV on 64x system?
2: Why when I create film with 1 audio track, AutoMKV encode the same track 2 times? (I choose coding tech AAC) If i choose 2 tracks AutoMKC encode them 2 times each.

DDogg

9th February 2007, 23:24

Buzz, very nice. A lot of usable new features to play with. The load configuration is a time saver. Greatly appreciated!

Minor issues:

1> When configuration with manual cropping and resizing is loaded, "Set width resolution" in basic settings tab is not greyed out.

2> The profile being used when the configuration is saved is not included in the saved ini file. For instance, my DV configuration includes a modified "CQ-ASP_Q2_eq(crf) for DV.xml" profile. If possible, it would be good to have this load with the DV.ini config. This is a workaround, to some degree, as tedious modifications made in the advanced profile editor are not saved. One, or the other would be helpful, but I think just loading the profile in use at the time the config file is created would be the easiest and best way to go. Thoughts?

3> Tracing down an odd mux issue with DV input, 264/Nero stereo, MKV encodes. Lot of stuttering in audio and "fast forward" jumping in the video. The problem may be on my end. Will find out and let you know. You could try that DV source I sent you and see if you see anything.

Terrific job! Don't burn yourself out. You are a treasure we don't want to lose :)

Im having another problem

After the deinterlacer runs, the xvid_encraw cmd window pops up
and gets to "Avisynth detected" in a about a quarter of a second, closes, opens up again, closes, etc..

So I currently have the cmd window popping up every second and closing

edit:
and there's also a problem with it my computer freezing for 20-30 seconds at a time after auomkv starts running. It persists and eventually locks up the computer completely (this didn't happen with .72b, and I dont think it's a hardware problem)

Both issues occur with either the .74 or .74a version

@SeeMoreDigital

got it also... seems that isn't needed to pass --high to encoder... for multichannel the default is (within audio encoder) the HE-AAC. In automkv the LC-AAC is used only if bitrate is over 128 or if specified...

in other word:
if multichannel -> HE-AAC till 128 -> LC-AAC

@DDogg
i will look at the issues :) thanks !

Well, then lets make a suggestion.
Maybe for the next release an option to set the sub to me muxed or hardcoded.
:D

Huerta

10th February 2007, 21:19

The subs wouldn't even show up in mine. I checked the log and it said that the size of the subs was -1kb. So I opened up VStrip manually and checked to see if I could do it from there but it said it couldn't open up the Vob Sequence. I think I figured out why and I also found a solution.

I think the problem was when I decrypted the episodes. I just got those new DBZ remastered DVD's from funimation, and there were 39 episodes split up into 6 disks. Originally in each disk all the anime episodes I had didn't show up as seperate episodes but as one super long movie with 54 chapters. So each episode had 7 chapters and there were a couple of useless chapters at the end. So I decrypted 5 chapters for each episode(I excluded the opening and ending) into their own directory and I think by doing that it messed up the subs in some way where VSrip couldn't rip them.

The solution I used was to use Subrip and make your own srt file and then just load it up externally in AutoMKV when encoding. It's a little extra legwork but it was worth it.

Just thought I should bring this up incase anyone should ever have this problem. If you have any other suggestions on how to fix my sub problem that would be great.

Other than that this is a really excellent program you have here.

or is this already available?

and what equal setting on automkv, for 1 pass target quality percentage like you find in autogk?

no, isn't avaiable, i will use the autoresize to determine the better with.

and what equal setting on automkv, for 1 pass target quality percentage like you find in autogk?

choose whatever profile you want (for x264 or xvid), this is needed to set the varius encoder 's parameters. In advanced setting check Specify Quality and select your value :)

buzzqw

11th February 2007, 17:24

well.. sincity isn't a easy film to encode, my first approach would be a 2 cd, audio original , x264 ce-mainprofile, width auto encode, Deen("c3d",0,6,7,3) filter

or for for 1 cd, audio cct aac 96 (or ogg 2.5), ce-mainprofile, width auto, QMLF2_4_motions filter

try yourself, every movie has is own encoding story!

first: it's your fault... sorry, you used "All audio tracks" but not checked "use projectx" (and dgindex isn't able to demux all tracks is ts files)
second: i had fixed. now dgindex try to dgindex all the possible !

Hey buzzqw,
I am gonna encode like you told me 2 cd, audio original , x264 ce-mainprofile, width auto encode, Deen("c3d",0,6,7,3) filter

But I have a question, by saying auto encode, you mean the width resolution or what? and the movie seems to be widescreen so the software detect that and choose the best resolution?

travisbell

12th February 2007, 02:41

first: it's your fault... sorry, you used "All audio tracks" but not checked "use projectx" (and dgindex isn't able to demux all tracks is ts files)

Interesting... I don't even see an option for "All audio tracks". The only thing I have done is chose "Original" on Track 1...

One more thing I have noticed in the latest builds is when I load up my .ts files it takes a good 2-3 minutes to "Verify" the source... why did you change this from the old method? Just curious is all...

Thanks man!

Hey there mate :) Just wondering: how come you don't recommend one of the HQ-Slow/HQ-Slower profiles?

sunflash10

12th February 2007, 07:57

Ever since .74 came out I haven't been able to encode dvds properly. It all seems to work fine up until the x264 encoder runs. It is open for about a second, closes, then opens again for the second pass and then closes immediately once again. Then it "completes" the process. Part of the log file is attached.
Thanks

buzzqw

12th February 2007, 08:26

how come you don't recommend one of the HQ-Slow/HQ-Slower profiles

hq-slower isn't worth the time. Make an encode with ce-mainprofile and hq-slower/insane.

Look at encoding time and quality gained. for me isn't worth all that time. Maybe hq-slow... but... just for 1 cd encoding not for 2 cd

@sunflash10

mmm... i had understud... is due to the new dgindex/tivtc... must be downgraded to dgmpgdec149b12.zip (http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec149b12.zip)

I tried the newest version and I'm pleased. The new features like the status bar and the percentage-style ripping are good, and I'm planning to experiment a little with this feature in the future.

3 notices:
1) When I rip a movie with AutoMKV, AutoMKV - or one of the other programs AutoMKV uses - creates a file named "Program" (without extension) in root of drive C. When I restart the system, Windows or my firewall or my antivirus software always warn me that it's not recommended to have a file with this name in C:\ and renames the file to Program~1. I think that one of the programs AutoMKV uses is at fault. BTW I noticed this issue in all version of AutoMKV.

2) I see that many users apply 2 or more filters to their movies, not just one (for example: first remove the grain then apply some sharpening). Are you planning to add this feature in the future?

3) The source on one of my films is pretty blurry. Which filter do you recommend? Their are planty of smoothener filters, grain removers, but I don't see sharpeners in the list (or just can't notice them). SeeSaw() would be a good options, but as I read, this filter is used to intensify the details on already nice, clean and sharp sources. My source is blurry but not grainy, so which filter can you recommend? I tried to apply a sharp resize filter (bicubicResize), but it's obviously not enough. Also it would be great to add a short explanation of the filters in one place (or just add links).

Once again, thanx for the new version! :)

gekan

12th February 2007, 15:13

I agree with papsi.

I've been having the same problem he describes in #1 but I hadn't connected it with AutoMVK.

Also, I agree about the filters. Adding more than one without have to edit the script is surely welcome, like a short description on what they do.

Thanks again for the great application! :)

that's strange. you are the only one with this problem. i don't know why... but open the file "program" with notepad (or mail me it) . What's written inside ?

I see that many users apply 2 or more filters to their movies, not just one (for example: first remove the grain then apply some sharpening). Are you planning to add this feature in the future?

is already possible :)
in filter just write (example) Deen().Undot().Spresso()
in this why you will apply deen , then undot then spresso.

or use in Advanced setting Last line avs to write what you want

My source is blurry but not grainy,
in filter you can write what you want, remember.
Remember that is also needed to load the plugin, and to do this simply put the dll into \exe\filter folder and then relaunch automkv

What filter to use? ... try removegrain(mode=25)

@ papsi:
You could use LimitedSharpen(Faster) with the parameter "wide=true" for your purposes. Is there any option to modify the avs manually before the encoding starts (I don't use AutoMKV, so I haven't got the faintest idea ;))?
I see now, haven't refreshed my browser for a longer time/.

Also, bicubic resize is well known from ... causing artifacts, if used with higher sharpening values. You could try Spline36 (almost artifact-free), Lanczos3 or Lanczos4 - bicubic isn't good choice imho.

cheers,

13th February 2007, 11:27

To HeadBangeR77:
Spline36 is included with the newest version of AutoMKV, but LimitedSharpen isn't. But that's not a problem, because I can download it manually, put it in the folder with the rest of the filters and manually apply within AutoMKV. Thanx for your reply! I'll try it! :)

That happens if the audio and video on the dvd don't match up, sometimes. If it's a constant offset, try just loading it into mkvtoolnix and adding that offset to the audio, then remux.

I just updated to build 0.74e from 0.72b. I have a DV-encoded AVI file that I compressed yesterday to x264 in a MP4 container with 0.72b just fine.

Using identical settings, with the identical file, and 0.74e today "appears" to work correctly (AutoMKV goes through all the steps and completes) but no "result" file is created. It appears that the X264 compression step isn't working... In my log I have:

11:26:01 Starting X264

In the actual X264 command line window, if I pop it up, it stays blank for a long while and then flashes by something about unsupported input file format (so quick it's hard to read exactly).

Also, I still had the EXE for build 0.72b so I ran that, set the same settings (but didn't roll back to the previous full RAR) and ran the encode and it worked fine....

My source file is DV, so it's huge. I can make a very small example clip and post it if you need, just ask...

@glynor

same, same problem as sunflash10
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=953524#post953524

mmm... i had understud... is due to the new dgindex/tivtc... must be downgraded to dgmpgdec149b12.zip
download the b12, unzip, put the dgindex.exe/dgdecode.dll into \exe\dgindex folder and copy dgdecode.dll into \exe\filter

hope that help

Looks the same as sunflash's log alright (though mine is not a DVD or MPEG2 source). I'll try it and let you know!

Okay... This is odd. Replacing the files as you suggested in the above linked post didn't work.

So, I deleted my entire AutoMKV folder and re-extracted the 0.74 full RAR file and made a new one, re-added my NeroAAC encoder, and tried again. I also reinstalled AVISynth just for giggles, but I did certainly already have the current build.

Either way, it now appears to be working with the same source file! I don't know if I had something weird "built up" in my AutoMKV install directory (I hadn't really deleted and done the "full reinstall" in quite a long time), but either way... It seems to be working now!

I'll do a bit more testing and post back, but I think I'm solved. :thanks:

Yep. It's been working fine for me now!

One thing I have noticed -- and I'm not at all sure that it's AutoMKV's "fault" and not the creator of the applicable profile's "fault" but...

If I encode to x264 with a MP4 container, and choose CE-QuickTime.xml as my profile (with no audio and basically everything else set to the default) the resulting file will not play in Apple's current version of Quicktime Player. Upon opening the file I get:

Error -2002: a bad public movie atom was found in the movie

And it doesn't play. VLC and MPC of course handle it with aplomb. Any ideas on how to get AutoMKV to generate a Quicktime compatible x264 MP4?

Hi Buzzqw:

The specs for Zune encoding (http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/howto/start/providecontent.htm#section5)(without having the Zune PC software re-encode when synching to the Zune device -- taking a long time) are:

Natively Supported Formats on the Zune Device

Format: Windows Media Video (.wmv)
Video codec: Windows Media Video 9 (Simple, Main, and Advanced Profiles), Windows Media Video 9 Screen, Windows Media Video 9 Image Version 2, Windows Media Video 9 VCM.
Video resolution: up to 320x240 (QVGA) or 320x180 (16:9 QVGA)
Maximum video bit rate: 500 Kbps (recommended for the best balance of optimal battery life and video quality) up to 1.5 Mbps
Video peak bit rate: up to 1.5 Mbps
Complexity or profile: Main profile, VBR
Audio codec: Windows Media Audio (.wma)
Maximum audio bit rate: WMA Standard, CBR, 128 Kbps (recommended), up to 192 Kbps, Stereo, 44.1 kHz
Maximum total bit rate: 1.692 Mbps, 1.5 Mbps for peak video plus 192 Kbps for audio

Note

The Zune device also supports Windows Media Video (WMV) Simple Profile, Windows Media 7 and 8, and PhotoStory files. For these video types, the maximum video bit rate is 736 Kbps with a maximum overall bit rate of 800 Kbps when audio is included.

I have found the Zune 1-pass profiles work fine (using 500 kbps video, 128 kbps audio) but both of the 2-pass profiles produce WMV files that will require additional re-encoding by the Zune software upon synching to the Zune device.

The peak bitrates using the 2-pass profiles are 1 Mbps and 1.2 Mbps (per mediaInfo). Since these profiles use WMV8 codec I suspect they are exceeding the maximum bitrate for that codec (see the "note" above). (Depends on whether the note means the "Peak" bitrate or the maximum average bitrate.)

I noticed the v_bitrate option value being sent to the WME encoder was 524288000 which seems about 1000 or 1024 times too high. I modified the Zune_2_Pass profile by changing WMV8 to WMV9 and changing the bitrate option by removing the last 3 zeros (i.e., 524288). This worked fine. The output was Zune-device compatible without re-encoding and the peak bitrate was 815 kbps. The change to WMV9 (I think) allows the peak bitrate to be that high.
EDIT: I've realized with more experimenting that the extra multiplier of 1000 or 1024 on the v_bitrate option only occurs if I go into the Advanced Profiles Editing tab, change WMV8 to WMV9, then check "Use this profile". At that moment the v_bitrate value jumps from 51200 to 524288000. The only problem with the current 2-pass Zune profiles seems to be the peak bitrate is too high for WMV8 on the Zune Device. Actually I discovered if you just check "Use this profile" on any CBR WMV profile (without even editing it) the v-bitrate option gets multiplied by 1024 and this error will now stick for any other WMV profile until you restart AutoMKV.

NOTE: The bitrate was changed from 512000 to 512 in the XML profile to get the 524288 in the command line option.

When I did this with just changing WMV8 to WMV9 (but not reducing the bitrate by 1000) the files were 5 times as large and the bitrates were way to high for the Zune (several Mbps).

To summarize I see two things:
1. The 2-pass Zune profiles do not work as desired because the peak VBR bitrate is too high for the Zune device. Thus WMV9 will be needed, since the Zune device will accept much higher bitrates with that codec.
2. There is a bug where if you select a WMV CBR profile and check "Use this Profile" in the Advanced Profile Editing tab, all v_bitrate option values for WMV encodings from then until you restart AutoMKV will be multiplied by an (incorrect) value of 1024.

Thanks!
