Thanks. Check the contents of fullbatch in xvid PPO mode. Mine just has the mux line in it.

/add:
XVid full encode test completed 3 cd with 2 audio and rip all subs. Sample 2%, crf unchecked, Auto res with PPO. Batch lines later run. See above.
1> 2 audio played ok
2> No subs were viewable in MPC
3> Originally 2 cd's were selected, then changed to 3 cd's after a redo.
Final mux was 2 files. File 1 was 2,131,798,116 bytes, File 2 was 71,650,804 bytes

Mux line was simply:
"C:\apps\AutoMKV036\exe\matroska\AVIMux_GUI.exe" "C:\<snip>\Movie\work\muxavi"
muxavi was (note no subs):

Hey man, I am having a weird problem.

All new encodes don't result in an actual file... AutoMKV encodes for a while, and according to the log finishes... but no file is created. I have linked to my .log here, maybe you can understand what's going on.

I am trying to encode HD .ts files, I have tried 3 different files and have the latest versions of all the files.

take your subs and rename to movie_full.idx/sub , mpc will load vobsub automatically

sorry pal... i give the exact paramenter to avimux :o
cloud you try manually launch avimux and load movie_avi and audio files and retry mux asking to split at 700mb ?

/add2: X264 mkv Getting there
1> Video and 2 audio in sync
2> Subs still same as before. Not showing in MPC.

please open with mediainfo or gspot the mkv file, and tell me if subs is present. also... can you see subs from manually muxed files ?

3> Selected 2 cd's. Got 3 files - 2 files @734,561,276 and 1 file @79,962,867 (could be because I screwed up and had audio 1 set for aac stereo and audio 2 was set as ac3 original)

i don't recheck if audio parameter is chanced. in this case those 79mb are the difference between audio.mp4 and audio.ac3...

4> Sent log

Thanks as always :)


and according to the log finishes... but no file is created
there is a problem with your source, automkv diagnose as film BUT applyed wrong deinterlacer routines.

stay tuned for 0.43

XVid - AVIavimux_gui do NOT support muxing of subtitles... Well since you decided to add avi, maybe you should use something else that does?cloud you try manually launch avimux and load movie_avi and audio files and retry mux asking to split at 700mb ?erm, tried, but really don't know the tool very well. Seems like crap. Would make one 700 file then stop.

X264 mkv please open with mediainfo or gspot the mkv file, and tell me if subs is present. also... can you see subs from manually muxed files ?Like I said several times before. Manually muxing works fine. I did install the CCCP and I get the green auto vobsub thing in the taskbar. Maybe you should install CCCP before we go much further? don't recheck if audio parameter is chanced. in this case those 79mb are the difference between audio.mp4 and audio.ac3...Nope, I did not change a thing in audio for the redo. The only oddity was I had Audio1 set for AAC stereo and Audio2 Original Original when I first started the encode. I think you mis-calculated size?

As far as I know, AVI-Mux GUI supports SRT and SSA subtitles and embeds them within the AVI container.

I just wanted to say thanks a lot, buzzqw (and the rest of you that have been helping out on this thread). This application is fantastic and just what I've been looking for! :D

A couple of things...

I did read a few pages back that you're aware that having the UI completely vanish when you start a batch encode with the Queue is not ideal, but this hasn't changed. Is this still coming or did it drop off the radar? (It baffled me until I dug through this thread to find it mentioned.)

Also, this is quite a bit less important, but it'd be nice. Is there any way that if you call AutoMKV with a file path as a command line argument that you could have it load up with that file pre-loaded as the Input file? This would be pretty cool for using Right Click --> Send to directly on the media files themselves in Windows Explorer (or from inside other media management applications).

I've actually now found a problem with encoding a certain video file using AutoMKV. When it gets to the DelayCut stage, the fixed1.mpa file it creates just keeps growing and growing until it uses up all of my available hard drive space. I had it grow to 170 GB for a one hour video clip one time and the second time it got to almost 70 GB before I stopped it. The process never ends...

The video I was test encoding was recorded by my HTPC by BeyondTV:

http://www.geocities.com/ri0n/AutoMKV-audiogrows.jpg

Here is the DelayCut line from the AutoMKV log:

12:27:38 DelayCut CMD: C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\dgindex\Delaycut.exe -auto -out "C:\video\projects\fixed1.mpa" "C:\video\projects\movie T01 DELAY 102ms.mpa"

The log starts like this:

[Input info]
Bitrate=384
Actual rate=384.000000
Sampling Frec=48000
TotalFrames=169388
Bytesperframe=1152.0000
Filesize=195134976
FrameDuration= 24.0000
Framespersecond= 41.6667
Duration=01:07:45.312
Channels mode=Stereo
LFE=LFE: Not present
[Target info]
StartFrame=-4
EndFrame=169387
NotFixedDelay= 6.0000
Duration=01:07:45.408
====== PROCESSING LOG ======================
Time 00:44:48.312; Frame#= 112014. Unsynchronized frame...REWINDED 1148 bytes. Found new synch word
Time 00:44:48.360; Frame#= 112016. Unsynchronized frame...REWINDED 1148 bytes. Found new synch word

And goes on like that for a long time (with the unsynchronized frame messages), probably basically until I cut it off.

The video plays fine in MPC and doesn't seem to be out-of-sync. Other videos I've recorded with BeyondTV did encode fine with AutoMKV and MeGUI (though I don't know that I've tried this actual video file in MeGUI).

glynor, nice to see another tester! I'm wondering if the same problem would show if you were to load that file in VdubMod, use directstream copy and create a new file to test with AutoMK? Or, file>open>check extended options and rekey the file? Just curious - and it might help buzzqw identify the problem if that fixes it.

/add: sorry, I just saw that was a mpeg file. He may need a snip link pm'ed to him.

0.46 DONE

When it gets to the DelayCut stage, the fixed1.mpa file it creates just keeps growing and growing until it uses up all of my available hard drive space.
some time i got this problem too... usually happens when the mpeg isn't perfectly muxed.

1> was doing a manual crop [enable manual crop and resize]. The script redlined. Found I had to change crop line to: crop(movie,8,2,-6,-4) from crop(8,2,-6,-4)

2> having trouble loading an avs as source. It is sized as 640x352 and encodes with no problem in x263cli, however, if I try to play resmovie.avs which has imported this script I get the complaint about width must be divisible by 4.

movie = Import("C:\640.avs")
function Comptest(clip c, float percent)
{
frange=floor(14./(percent/100.))

640.avs is a simple:
DGDecode_mpeg2source("C:\VTS_01_1.d2v",info=3)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)
#blank deinterlace line
crop(8, 4, -6, -4)
LanczosResize(640,352) # Lanczos (Sharp)
However, resmovie will play when "return movie" is added:
movie = Import("C:\SPR\spr640.avs")
function Comptest(clip c, float percent)
{
frange=floor(14./(percent/100.))
Return SelectRangeEvery(c, frange, 14)

I noticed yesterday that I encoded a movie (after changing the movie name to something OTHER than 'movie') and the result was...nothing. I'm wondering if changing the default movie name in the UI isn't totally bug-free, and that there may be some case where the encoded video isn't seen because it has the wrong filename, or something like that. Has anyone else had problems with using something other than 'movie' in the name field?

On avs source file automkv will not apply any resize or filter.
Better: when using avs as source the width value "automatic" or any other value IS IGNORED in final encoding.

Even if autoresize suggest, for example 640, the final movie.avs will be only "import ("ooo.avs") , without any resize applyed

Anyway fixed avs import file

Change the X264 profile to HQ-Slower and then click the drop down on the container, it will change the profile back to CE-mainprofile.

Well, I tried re-encoding the same stream again yesterday, with the same result, no movie. I then encoded a third time, without changing the default movie name (it was set to 'movie') and I turned off the 'delete temp' option so at least I could see what was happening...and I did get a movie.mkv from the encode that I could look at, but I don't know if it would have been deleted by with the temporary files. The filename I was using when the encode never materialized was 's2e05'.

The encode I did was not a real high quality one (I didn't want to wait 6 hours for no results) so I'm going to experiment a bit now. I'll give you feedback in a few hours.

buzzqw
25th October 2006, 15:51
i done a simple encoding (just few mb of vob files) and named the file "s2e05" (without quotes). Got a s2e05.mkv

open the log file and look before scripts , you should see "Only Movie Size:..." this is the size of movie encoded. If there isn't a value no movie were created...

25th October 2006, 16:14
Okay! I've made a few interesting discoveries with this clip. First off, there does appear to be an error of some kind in the source clip. Watching the source footage, there is an audible (and visible) error at right around 00:44:48. Here's a clip of just that stretch:

http://users.adelphia.net/~edandjenn/temp/RTBM-2006-09-08-0_smclip.zip

What I've found:

1. 0.46CRC and 0.47CRC made no difference when trying to encode the original source file. Same exact problem.

2. I am able to use 0.45 (and 46-47 as well) to encode the small clip that I just posted above. Something about the way that I edited the MPEG seems to have altered the error. I might just be using a bad MPEG editor (I've been suspicious, but I'll get to that).

In order to cut out the small clip, I used Womble Multimedia's MPEG-VCR (v3.14). That's one of the few cheap applications out there I've found that will let you edit Program Stream MPEG-2 files with the audio track already muxed in. I belive Pegasys's TMPGEnc MPEG Editor 2 (http://tmpgenc.pegasys-inc.com/en/product/tme20.html) will do it too, but that's a little more expensive. Unfortunately, TMPGEnc itsef, and MPEG2Schnitt and Cuttermaran all can't handle the MPEG2 files that come out of BTV (I think because they're muxed MPG files).

I'd read postings here on Doom9 that MPEG-VCR does not re-encode the MPEG2 files you edit unless it has to. I've never been able to find that stated in it's documentation anywhere though! I do know that Womble's newer product (MPEG Video Wizard) does have this feature, but I didn't like it's interface (and I'd rather just cough up the money for TMPGEnc MPEG Editor). This result (and the fact that when the error actually occurs it is visibly different in the cut version I made vs. the original) makes me very suspicious that MPEG-VCR is actually re-encoding the video... Though it's pretty darn fast so I'm not positive.

So... Two questions:

1. Does anyone know for sure that MPEG-VCR does or does not re-encode video when you're simply snipping out chunks (to remove commercials or whatnot)? I've confirmed in other postings what I first read here that it does not, but perhaps it also tries to fix any errors or something...

2. Is there a better application that I could use that would more perfectly provide that piece of this video for you to analyze? The whole thing is almost 4 GB so sending it is obviously not possible.

buzzqw
25th October 2006, 16:43
i used both vcr and wvw and i prefer the wizard. as far as i know, and used, both do a direct stream copy of audio/video
I used mostly on ts source but i never got some serius problem with womble video wizard

Try loading the original (the big and broken) file with vcr and RE-EXPORT , without reencoding.
Then try to load this new file. I can beat that remuxing will fix the problem

BHH

glynor
25th October 2006, 19:02
That sure did fix it (I tried exporting the file using both MPEG-VCR and MPEG Video Wizard, which is growing on me a little). :D

I'm happy then. The only reason I was even trying to encode a raw recording off of BTV (without clipping out the stuff at the beginning and end) was to test AutoMKV out. In "real life" I'd never do that without first trimming the file in MPEG-VCR (or maybe the Video Wizard, we shall see). Since that should fix any little blips that might end up in my video files because of BTV (I should really switch back to SageTV one of these days), I'm not going to worry about it.

Oh, and thanks for the command line argument thing! That's been great (I have it defined as a Send to option in J. River Media Center now, which I use to manage all my media).

Again... I'm really quite impressed with all your work on this! I think it's going to definitely become my encoder of choice (MeGUI is good if you really want to "get in there", but the UI is terrible). Keep it up!

V47 - x264 mkv
Selected 2 individual subs, one in each window. Sub idx was called "movie.idx", but muxing.bat and fullbatch.bat called "vts.idx". I noticed this method also creates .srt's which I wish selecting "rip all subs" would also do. Or, did you just change this in v47?

btw, when I changed the name in the muxing.bat to movie.idx all worked well. Subs finally show! :thanks:

OK, I had no trouble with non 'movie' movie names when encoding directly, but if I tried to add a non 'movie' name to the queue, it didn't seem to work. I'll try again to confirm.

Another thing that's bugging me...the DVD rips of multi-episode shows that I have on my hard drive have a file structure like this:

VTS_01_0.IFO
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB

If I select any of the IFO files, it only allows me to choose the longest of the three episodes on the disc instead of any of them (only one entry is present in the pulldown menu). The only way I've found to circumvent this is to put the VTS_0x files in a separate directory before opening them with AutoMKV.

V47 - x264 mkv
Sub idx was called "movie.idx", but muxing.bat and fullbatch.bat called "vts.idx".

fixed in 0.48

I noticed this method also creates .srt's which I wish selecting "rip all subs" would also do. Or, did you just change this in v47?

i worked (hard) on subs... and i resolved :)

OK, I had no trouble with non 'movie' movie names when encoding directly, but if I tried to add a non 'movie' name to the queue, it didn't seem to work. I'll try again to confirm.

i do some test too

Another thing that's bugging me...the DVD rips of multi-episode shows that I have on my hard drive have a file structure like this:

it's wanted.

If you want to do episode by episode just select the first vob of episode (VTS_01_1.VOB,VTS_02_1.VOB...)

If I select any of the IFO files, it only allows me to choose the longest of the three episodes on the disc instead of any of them (only one entry is present in the pulldown menu).

let's me do some tests... :)

I'd been having a lot of trouble at home downloading AutoMKV over the past few days. The downloads would start fine, but would "end" well before they were finished (the "full" RAR file would end up only a few hundred K and wouldn't work of course). At first I assumed the problem was on "the other" end, but then when it worked for me on a different machine at work, but then again didn't work in the evening at home I got suspicious that the problem was at my end...

Well, I figured it out last night, and I thought I'd post it in case anyone else is having similar troubles. I have PeerGuardian 2 installed and running on that machine. I know it's not fully effective but its probably better than nothing and I hate having them "watch" me. Either way, it was causing the trouble. If I disabled it, the downloads were just fine. If I re-enabled it, they'd mess up again. (This was odd because I do not have HTTP blocking enabled, and the only list I have installed is the regular P2P blacklist.)

Just in case it's also related, I am using Firefox 2 (the final build for now until I start using nightlies again).

Sooooo... If you have PG2 and you can't download AutoMKV, try disabling it.

Also, please consider dealing with the crash when a virtual drive is used and output is not changed (when time permits).

First of all, thanks for the amazing prog

second, the little problems i have:

1. on a dualcore, when encoding in x264 onlz 55% of the cpu is used! (using ce mainprofile) but 90% is used when using p1-maxspeed, is there any reason why this is like that?

2. could you make an option so that the dvd gets ripped first, and then ripps the subs? (so that the dvd only has to stay in the dvdrom for 15 mins =)

3. I cant remember since what version, but something after 38 wont let me rip the dvds anymore, if i put a dvd in, then check the dvd it finds the ifo file. I then select the language and start encoding, as shown on screenshot setup. After that, nothing really happens except dgindex gets started. In the log file it sais done ripping, but it hasnt done anything at all, goes straight away to dg index and stays like that forever. Well of course, no dvd was ripped.

4. Would be great if possible to safe the settings one makes in the advanced settings tab as well!

Thanks again!

Thanks again! 1> Well I have a D930 and I am always maxed out. However, I do run avisynth 2.60 alpha and maybe that makes a difference. Also, have you set threads to 2 in the profile?

As for the rip, I just did that today with 48a and it worked fine. Did you dl the whole 44 new package and update the exe to 48a, or did you just update the original 3x full package? You should have 5 files in C:\apps\AutoMKV044\exe\Vsrip plus any logs created.

i check for number of processor and put the adeguate --threads at x264 script. You can look in advance profile editing at "Command line:" the threads value are automatic and is the last value (no need to edit the profiles)

2. could you make an option so that the dvd gets ripped first, and then ripps the subs? (so that the dvd only has to stay in the dvdrom for 15 mins =)

is already as this. once the dvd is ripped the subs is processed from vobs laying on hd. You can open para.lst (open with notepad) for vsrip parameter

3. I cant remember since what version, but something after 38 wont let me rip the dvds anymore, if i put a dvd in, then check the dvd it finds the ifo file.

check if in \exe\vsrip folder there is DVDFabDecrypter.exe
The flow for dvd->mkv is:
1) insert dvd in drive
2) click on check dvd driver , after selecting the drive
3) choose audio/subs/media...
4) click start encoding

4. Would be great if possible to safe the settings one makes in the advanced settings tab as well!

i will look at this :)

please report any other problem !

I redownloaded the package, checked for dvdfabdecrypter.exe and its in vsrip as it should be. But i can not find the para.lst file you talked about anywhere. took a screenshot of my vsrip folder, thats all there is.

Even after redownloading, the whole package, i have the same problem. The dvd is not ripped, it goes straight to dgindex and stops there. (like in the previous screenshot)

so it sais it finished ripping, but it didnt even start. Plus i wonder why there is no inputfile mentioned either in the log.

Also tried to delete all registry entries for dvdfab, but still doesnt work

When saving the options, the filtersettings arent saved either. Is there a point to have remove grain when ripping from a dvd?

(Note if i select the ifo file directly from the dvd, it works but it doesnt rip, just encodes straight away the audio and movie. The file one gets out of this is not usable though, as the dvd wasnt decoded in the first place)
