AutoMKV 0.93a - (DVD/TS/AVI/AVS to X264/XviD/WVC1 into MKV/MP4/WMV) update 30/12/2007

[buzzqw]

Did you understand the problem that no matter what rate you load in a profile, if you check the "Use This Profile" (perhaps you changed the v_keydist) the rate gets multiplied by 1024. If you don't check this, it does not get multiplied by 1024 ??

to correct this i had divided in profiles by 1000 the v_bitrate
Es. from <v_bitrate>512000</v_bitrate> to <v_bitrate>512</v_bitrate>
i hadn't change the code, this value will be multiplied by 1024 in final script

Are you inviting me to do that instead of you, or in addition, or what?

i had already done, BUT i would like if can suggest/build more correct profiles

Everything I did with movie.avs and movie_wmv.bat was AFTER the encoding stalled and I terminated the WME script command window

please look at time.avs: is avisource or directshowsource in use ?
also: is frame.txt created ?

x264.exe just starts idling when about 10% is encoded
this issue is related to you pc AND x264.exe, try disabling Antivirus/firewall

tell me any progress!

@buzzqw:

What you have done with the Zune profiles sounds good to me. Only after I test them would I possibly have any changes to suggest. Thanks!

I can create the .xml files based on your posts, or should I wait for the next version, in case there are other things you changed, not mentioned in your posts?

Regarding the 1024 bitrate factor, are you saying no code change is needed beyond 74e -- just using 512 instead of 512000 in the xml profile?

[buzzqw]

sounds good to me... tomorrow i will pm you with a direct link to new WMV ZUNE profile package.
Do your best on changing/fixing these profiles !

Regarding the 1024 bitrate factor, are you saying no code change is needed beyond 74e -- just using 512 instead of 512000 in the xml profile?
YES! since i multiply by 1000 there is no need to write 512000

@buzzqw
I edited the Zune_1pass_quick profile to 512 for bitrate (instead of 512000). This prevents the huge numbers, as you said it would. However there are still some minor problems that you might want to fix in the next release:

I have saved this profile in my automkv.ini file. If I start the program and go to the Advanced profile Editing tab, the command line window will have some odd number (like 128000) for the v_bitrate. If I click Reload Profile the number changes to 512000. If I then check Use this Profile the number changes to 524288 (= 512000 * 1.024). If I encode before checking Use this Profile the bitrate passed to the encoder will by 512000. After checking it, the bitrate passed is 524288.

Shouldn't the command line window and the number passed to the encoder be identical for all these conditions?

If I set the bitrate up to 600 on the Advanced Settings tab, the value used for encoding is 624400 (i.e., 600000 * 1.024). Looks like 1000 is used in some cases and 1024 in others.

These are minor inconsistencies -- no significant difference in the encoding result -- just confusing to the operator.

I'll look forward to your PM regarding the new profiles.

Regards and thanks.

[dlflannery]

I modified the Zune_2_pass profile as follows:

1. v_bitrate at 512 instead of 512000
2. v_peakbitrate at 736000 instead of 1500000

I used 64kpbs audio so the total peak bit rate should have been 800 kbps or less.

The encoded .wmv had a peak bitrate (mediaInfo says) of 1.2 Mbps! Looking at the options file for the WME command line script indicates that the v_mode option should be 4 (instead of 3 now used) if the peak bitrate is going to be limited by the v_peakbitrate option.

So I further modified the profile by using 4 for v_mode. However the command line passed to the script now was missing several things:
1. v_codec
2. v_bitrate
3 v_mode
and the encoding was not good -- single pass very low bitrate.

So I modified movie_wmv.bat by adding these options:
-v_codec WMV8
-v_bitrate 512000
-v_mode 4
The encoding went OK and the result .wmv was good. MediaInfo said the peak bitrate was 736 kbps, as desired, and the file synched to the Zune device without forced re-encoding and played fine. It looks like some code changes will be needed to implement this 2-pass VBR WMV8 profile, since apparently the code removed three needed parameters from the encoder command line options when I set the v_mode to 4 in the profile XML file (???). Also, probably should use 64_44_2 for the audio option instead of 128_44_2.

I repeated but with v_bitrate set to 400. All OK and the clip played fine on the Zune device with no noticeable quality loss compared to 512 bitrate. The file size was reduced to 85% of what it was at 512. My interest in 2-pass started recently when an OP PM'ed me they were having blocks in fast motion portions using the 1-pass CBR profile. I would guess with peak bitrate allowed up to 736 kbps, the blocks would be removed even at only 400 kbps average rate. (I've never had blocks but none of my test videos have enough rapid motion, I guess.)

Got the profiles and test program. The Zune 2 pass profile tests good! Got the same file length (within 6 bytes) that I got with my modified movie_wvm.bat before, and the specs per mediaInfo are identical. Plays good on Zune device and does not require re-encoding on synch. With this profile (and any WMV7 or WMV8 VBR mode 4) the audio bitrate should be limited to 64kbps. Is there a way to have the program enforce that?

I will test the other Zune profiles but I looked at them and they seem correct.

I still see the command line v_bitrate jumping up by factor of 1.024 when I check "Use this Profile" (??).

Looks good so far! Thanks!

@glynor
i prefer not to do hack... expecially due on quickcrapplayer bugs... , BUT go on advenced settings, click on last avs string and add: AssumeFPS(30000,1001) or AssumeFPS(24000,1001)
BHH

Thanks. I can certainly understand you not wanting to do a hack for Apple's incompetent software.

Unfortunately, I tried out using the AssumeFPS(30000,1001) and it still doesn't work. The results are somewhat better, but still no good (I now don't get an error message, and the audio plays, but the video is black in Quicktime Player). I've tried a wide variety of settings and profiles, including limiting the output bitrate to 600 and the width to 320). Interestingly, when I include the AssumeFPS(30000,1001) line with a 29.970 FPS source, the resulting MP4 I get is 29.971 FPS, but I no longer get the error message in QTPlayer, just the black video window.

The main reason I need to be able to support Quicktime Player is that I have a lot of people I produce content for that use Macs. VLC is available for OSX and works, but I can't force people to install and use additional software... :(

Also, a lot of people I know in other forums have expressed interest in using AutoMKV to produce iPod compatible MP4s, but I can't get this to work well either. If I select the PD-iPod 5.5G.xml profile with basically any encoding settings, I get this:

http://www.geocities.com/ri0n/automkv/ipod_fails.jpg

The vanilla PD-iPod.xml profile appears to work, but I still get no video playback in Quicktime (which makes me think it's not gonna work on an actual iPod either, though I don't have one available to test right this second).

Anyone have any further ideas? I've searched for the past two hours around the forums but haven't come up with much...

[buzzqw]

i have an idea of what search around... but i first MUST (and i dislike) install quicktime player :(

BHH

[glynor]

Can't say I blame you there!

My office is about 70% mac users, so I don't have much choice to support them. I like Quicktime on the Mac honestly, but for Windows I certainly prefer the alternative...

[Shark_jlc]

I already had DVDFab Decrypter installed, so I grabbed the AutoMKV build that did not have it.

When I run AutoMKV, it appears to not detect my installation of DVDFab Decrypter and DGIndex just kinda... sits there.

Also, a clean way to cancel an encode would be nice.

Thanks for the tool!

[dlflannery]

I've tested all three 2-pass Zune profiles. No problems were seen. Peak bitrates reported by mediaInfo are 736kbps for WMV7 and WMV8 and 1.5 Mbps for WMV9. All files synched without re-encoding to my Zune device and played fine. It may have been my imagination but I actually thought I could detect the slight quality differences.

I happened to find a strange problem. Just before one encoding I was curious about what resizers were available so I pulled down the Resize Filter menu. I didn't change the filter from the Simple Resize that is normally there. However the encoding called the WMCmd script twice. The first time was very short, then the second time produced the output file which was OK. Here is part of the log file:

22:43:03 Autoresize CMD: cscript.exe "C:\AutoMKV074\exe\encoder\WMCmd.vbs" -input "C:\Video\ForZune\temp\resmovie.avs" -output "C:\Video\ForZune\temp\resmovie.wmv" -v_codec WMV7 -v_mode 2 -v_quality 85 -s_config "C:\Video\ForZune\temp\wmv_crb" -v_bframedist 1 -v_dquantoption 2 -v_lookahead 0 -v_mbmodecost 0 -v_mmatch 0 -v_mslevel 1 -v_msrange 0 -v_mvcoding 1 -v_mvcost 0 -v_peakbitrate 736000 -v_bdeltaqp 1 -a_codec WMASTD -a_mode 0 -title "Bf2passQktest" -year 2007 -copyright "Done with AutoMKV! 0.74e" -a_setting 64_44_2

Doesn't work that way actually: the no-fab version of AutoMKV is not for those who have fab installed, but rather for those who due to legal constraints would be in violation of local law if fab was downloaded... Plus AutoMKV needs a specific version of fab decrypter, one which understands command line switches.

Bottomline: just download the "full" version (and do make sure that in your first rip with the automkv's embedded fab you answer "no" to the "fab updated version found; update?" prompt)

[buzzqw]

@cosmos

thanks, good answer!

automkv will dinamically parse value in its box... so it will wait till a choice is made (even if encoding is started)

You have thrown so much effort into maintaining AutoMKV and answering questions around, that I really feel I have to return something as well :) :helpful: Just our appreciation for all the work you've done for a great piece of software :)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi glynor,

If you want MPEG-4 AVC encodes to be QuickTime player 7 compatible, you will have to edit the "CE-QuickTime.xml" file. You need to change the default number of B-frames from "1" to "0". And only encode using "2Ch" AAC audio.

QT7 will then be able to save the .MP4 file to .MOV ;)

Please note: This is not an issue with AutoMKV... it's been around for a year or so.


Cheers

BHH
The encoding is set up identically in two cases but in one case the extra run of WMCmd.vbs occurs. The only difference was in one case I pulled down the Resize Filter menu to look at the choices but did not change the filter choice from what it already was. This was done before starting encoding. This does not seem logical to me. What is the first short run doing?

[buzzqw]

the extra run could be due to AUTORESIZE, if you leave width=AUTO , automkv will try to define the better width (and so more wvm to run)

BHH

Well I'm confused as well... :confused:

That file you posted plays just fine for me in Quickcraptime Player as well! However, I did my best to reproduce those settings exactly, except for the framerate of the source footage and no joy (it won't play the video). Here's two example files, neither of which play in QT for me. One was done with no hacks at all (no AssumeFPS and no hack to the Quicktime profile to turn off B-frames), and the other was done with both. Combinations of the two (with the B-Frames hack but no AssumeFPS and vice versa) makes no difference....

Wait, wait wait....

:stupid:

While I was finishing making those example files up (and after I had typed the above), I noticed that this entire time, I'd been using the eqm_avc_hr.cfg custom matrix. I set that a long while ago and basically forgot it was even there (I mean I knew it was there, but it never dawned on me that it would matter)... Your example was identical to mine in pretty much every way other than the framerate and the custom matrix. When I disabled the custom matrix, the QT Player could play the resulting files just fine, with no hacks required.

Sorry!!! And thanks so much for the help! I wouldn't have figured it out without the example file to compare side by side...

That change fixed the issue with playback and both the CE-Quicktime.xml profile and the PD-iPod.xml profile. The PD-iPod 5.5G.xml profile still crashes x264 though, so that's still unusable and is something else... (But, frankly, who cares if the vanilla iPod profile works.)

[buzzqw]

no bframes wasn't an issue ? good... no need to change the profile :)

and now i will do some testing on ipod profiles!

thanks glynor ! :))

BHH

EDIT: fixed ipod 5.5 error... simply change <level>7<level> to <level>3<level> :D

[glynor]

no bframes wasn't an issue ? good... no need to change the profile :)

Nope. B-Frames were not the issue. Working fine with the existing profile.

Thanks again! I'm very pleased!

EDIT: You have no idea how much time this has just saved me in my everyday work. AutoMKV on my Core2 Duo windows machine absolutely stomps on my PowerMac G5 Quad with Apple Compressor in encoding time. Plus, I think the quality is a better to boot!! All I have to do now is export my projects out of Final Cut Pro to DV AVI files, and I can use AutoMKV to do the heavy-lifting MPEG-4 compression!

I did figure this out after reading through the last 10 or so pages of this thread.

However, it's unfortunate that that is how AutoMKV works with DVDFab Decrypter, because that version does not correctly work with the movies I am trying to rip.

At least, that is my guess after getting a 7 Kb wmv file for a 2+ hour disney movie

Do you have WMV codecs installed (try another non-DVD file...)?
And convert to WMV.

[TheRyuu]

Is there some list of what all the abbreviations mean?

Like on all of the X264 codec xml scripts.
What does the AE (Anime?) mean, CE, HQ (high quality?)

Also, two situations, what would be the best setup/filters.
Anime episode/movie.
And regular movie.

I've been using No resize (to keep it at 720x480 since thats what I want). And the Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ") (best quality?) for animes and Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") for movies.
(if I resized it I would use Lanczos4Resize)

And for a custom matrix I've been using Sharktooth's EQM v3ULR.cqm with Xvid Extra Slow (default) and with X264 I've been using M4G_High_Detail_V3.1.cfg.

Any suggestions (and what some of the abbreviations mean...)? Thanks.
Great program BTW. Love it.

[buzzqw]

Like on all of the X264 codec xml scripts.

I've been using No resize (to keep it at 720x480 since thats what I want). And the Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ") (best quality?) for animes and Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") for movies.

conservative and good filter, for already clean anime/film (used to gain a little bit of compressibility)

And for a custom matrix I've been using Sharktooth's EQM v3ULR.cqm with Xvid Extra Slow (default) and with X264 I've been using M4G_High_Detail_V3.1.cfg.

Attention... Attention Ultra LOW Rate is for bitrate very low less then 500kbs is it your case ?

@ALL

ok, i had found the way to run all script minimized, without any (or very few) prompt that steal window... BUT... what is the lose ?

i cannot guarantee that "prepare only phase" will fuction again, also i will use vbs script (as an old suggestion of glynor) and some nasty and bad antivirus (namely Norton) can intercept those files as virus... :p
Again: wcscript SHOULD be present in all win2k and MUST be in winXP but i cannot bet on it...

please tell me your opinion

to test if wcscript is installed download this file http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/test.vbs and launch it (i can guarantee that is SAFE to run)

Hi Buzz,

I've been meaning to ask you. When generating MP4 files with AAC audio and MPEG-4 video, is there any particular reason why the AAC ADTS audio stream is muxed into the MP4 container twice container?

The first time as an AAC "audio only" in MP4 stream. And the second time as the finished/completed .MP4 file with video.


PS: I was bored the other day so I designed some tweeks to the GUI... I'll PM them to you ;)

[buzzqw]

@SMD

well.. and old story... since mkvmerge dislike aac audio i mux the CCT AAC audio file in MP4 , so this MP4 files could be muxed without hassle into mp4 or mkv

about gui.. feel free to post ! thanks!

BHH

[TheRyuu]

Attention... Attention Ultra LOW Rate is for bitrate very low less then 500kbs is it your case ?
BHH

No. Thanks for letting me know what it was though.

Is there a good all around custom matrix?
And before I even start the encode, how am I suppose to know the bitrate since doesn't AutoMKV automatically select a bitrate?

Also what would be a good HQ custom matrix?

[SeeMoreDigital]

@SMD

well.. and old story... since mkvmerge dislike aac audio i mux the CCT AAC audio file in MP4 , so this MP4 files could be muxed without hassle into mp4 or mkvThanks for confirming... I suspected it might have had something to do with MKV muxing...

By-the-way, when generating AAC-HE streams have you considered configuring MP4Box to add the "sbr" CLI tag during .MP4 muxing?

[dlflannery]

I captured some movies (30 fps) from a Canon SD450 digital camera. They are .avi and contain 640x480 mjpeg video and pcm audio, single channel (mono) at 88 kbps with 11 kbps sampling rate.

I have tried various combinations of inputting either the .avi or a .avs using directShowSource or AVISource, and either checking or not checking "Use Direct Show" in AutoMKV. The only way that works is if I load the .avi and check prepare only.

Then I modify the movie.avs file by adding the line shown in bold here:

audio=EnsureVBRMP3Sync(audio)
audio = MergeChannels(audio,audio)
audio=ConvertAudioToFloat(audio)
audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)
audiodub(audio,last)

Then if I run movie_wmv.bat I get a good result. This is for the Zune profiles (the new ones you PM'ed me).

I think the mono sound is the problem. The WME encoder determines a file length only about 30% of the true length (unless the extra line is added to movie.avs).

Unfortunately I don't see how to fix this by adding a last line to movie.avs. If you run the original movie.avs in WMP you get the error message that it tried to get a non-existing channel, which I assume comes from the line:

audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)

which fails with mono audio (?).

Is there any way to handle this without doing prepare only, and editing the movie.avs file?

Aha! Mono selection for WMV audio! Works great!
I thank you "mono a mono" :rolleyes:

I assume that was a test version -- it had some quirks:
1. If I tried to adjust the audio bitrate the mono reverted to stereo and could not be set to mono again.

2. A message box appeared twice on program startup asking if I wanted fixed or unlimited size. (I chose unlimited.)

3. I queued 4 mono conversions and it locked up during, or just after, encoding the first one. The behavior in terms of time and files created was as if the mono was not in effect.

BTW, the new .74 version (opposed to .72) fixed a problem I had with pulling out multiple audio streams.

I seem to be stuck in an endless cycle of it saying "Hit media size" or "go unlimited". Whether I try to change the profile or the format or the container or the size. It just gets stuck.

I also have the "Hit media size" or "go unlimited" problem. It only occurs with some x264 profiles afaik, primarily with the default CQ_Lossless.xml. Deleting this file or changing to another profile via ini editing or using an old version resolves this.

edit: I am using ver 074e. version 074 also has the "Hit media size" or "go unlimited" problem but it doesn't prevent profile change, whereas 074e makes it impossible to change profile away from lossless

Now a few feature requests, small ones that I would ordinarily fix myself were it open source:
Would it be possible to divide the Basic Settings page into a Main Page(where input,output,dvd sense and the start/enqueue buttons are) and leave the rest on Basic Settings? I personally am using this to give my parents the ability to rip their DVDs, so a touch more simplicity would be nice.

Also, could the DVD ripping side be enhanced in these ways:
Save which DVD drive is chosen when program closes
Have an Auto-DVD detect on startup option
Have an option to take the output file name from the DVD's disc title (Even though they are ugly like 'CLOCKWORK_ORANGE_4X3MTD_NA')

If you could make these changes, this program would be perfect for what I will use it for. Thanks for everything you've done so far. I haven't encoded anything yet but am already loving AutoMKV!

[dlflannery]

ok, now i am working an manual... also in next full update all x264 preset got renamed.. (i hope at end of next week)



conservative and good filter, for already clean anime/film (used to gain a little bit of compressibility)



Attention... Attention Ultra LOW Rate is for bitrate very low less then 500kbs is it your case ?

@ALL

ok, i had found the way to run all script minimized, without any (or very few) prompt that steal window... BUT... what is the lose ?

i cannot guarantee that "prepare only phase" will fuction again, also i will use vbs script (as an old suggestion of glynor) and some nasty and bad antivirus (namely Norton) can intercept those files as virus... :p
Again: wcscript SHOULD be present in all win2k and MUST be in winXP but i cannot bet on it...

please tell me your opinion

BHH

I like being able to watch the batch files run in the command windows for debugging purposes. I understand that if the program is more "automatic" you would want to hide this. Is there any way to allow the user to have a choice?

[buzzqw]

update: 0.75 www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV075.rar

this is an interim build to a full new package
please delete the profile directory, this package will contain the new x264 and wmv (and all xvid) profiles and matrix.

changelog
ADDED: Two new Zune Profiles, based on wmv9 encoding (suggestion by dlflannery)
ADDED: Mode 4 for WMV endoing (2 pass peak bitrate)
ADDED: Support for Audio encoding (only audio files, like audio.ac3 to audio.ogg)
ADDED: Mono to WMV audio channels (suggestion by dlflannery)
FIXED: When muxing in AVI, AutoMKV will force MP3 CBR muxing if CBR is selected on Advanced Audio Setting
FIXED: Some tuning in log files
FIXED: Several bugs on Zune Profiles. A big thanks to dlflannery for his tests
FIXED: Ipod 5.5G profile
FIXED: Renamed all X264 profiles
FIXED: some weird behavior of x264 CRF profiles (thanks to Mike Farmwald)
FIXED: Some new layout on gui, as ALWAYS a big thanks to SeeMoreDigital
FIXED: Renamed all x264 profiles

i added a hidden features (don't go crazy searching isn't visible)

if anyone don't report any problem on audio encoding i will be adopt this behavior to all running process

BHH

P.S. the builds i put on forum BUT not in first page are considered alpha/beta release, so don't worry about errors... :)

[Barleyman]

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?

I was actually talking about the very thing a while ago with one linux-head. About setting up wiki to make a manual for AutoMKV.. Predictably it's "so easy" it requires "no effort". Assuming you know how to set up fully functioning linux server box that's not going to be hacked right away.. Linux distros apparently come with wiki "built in" .. That also requires you have access to a box that's online 24/7 :rolleyes:

No doubt you could find someone to host the wiki but I have no idea where to ask for such. I don't think linux guys will check page 53 of WINDOWS mpeg4-gui thread anytime soon!

It would be possible to just write the darn thing as a forum thread of course, like someone did with the Zune-encoding. The problem with that is that the thread starter has to do all the edits even if other guys put in new text / comments..

I could possibly write xvid avi/mkv anamorphic CQ encoding guide myself assuming things have not changed too much.. And it looked like there was some new stuff such as automatrix etc..

..

And a suggestion Buzzqw - How about you include "changelog.txt" with the interim builds too? Now it only comes with full builds?

[Barleyman]

Hmh. After grand total of 20 seconds with google, I found this: http://wikihost.org/

Apparently they take the back end out of your hand for free gratis..

[buzzqw]

@Barleyman

never owned a wiki or used ... just read it

but thanks.. i will look tomorrow :)

i hope in few days to finish the "simple manual" aka a big pictures of all fuctions

i will be glady to help someone to write the wiki... i could do myself... yes.. i will do mysel (but everyone should add something...) but with my spare time :( that i usually give to code AutomMKV...

I think that wiki could be a long (in time) but absolute necessary project.

I will register on these site and invite everyone to contribute :)

BHH

[Barleyman]

So 1st try since .66 - Anamorphic XVID/AVI with CQ, Q=3, lame VBR6, resize none, filter none. I left the "custom matrix" to "auto" since I didn't know what else to do about it..

It looks like "auto" will always pick "Sharktooth's EQM v3LR.cqm"-matrix?

[buzzqw]

ok... you are doing a CQ encoding... well.. since is a CQ you are not use the Autoresize... and since not using autoresize the automatrix will trigger the base matrix...

automatrix will switch matrix based on autoresize, on cq encoding is impossible to set correctly...

i hope to be understud :)

BHH

[dlflannery]

I tested with four .avi (mjpeg + mono-pcm) using Zune quick one pass profile.

Everything looks good! :thanks:

However a problem occurred when I queued three of the files. Start Queue encoded all three files OK but when it was done the queue list still showed the middle file (1.ini) on the queue list. So I clicked the Start Queue button again just to see what would happen. It did not appear to do anything but it added the following to AutoMKV Log tab:

19:11:55 0.75 - - - - - - - - - - - - - START JOBS - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

After this the queue list still contained the same item and the Start Queue button was still enabled.

I keep getting this error when I try to encode something in Xvid.

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application."

Heres the pic of the error - http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j190/b3rwyn/ddddddfasdfsaf.jpg

I have the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed. And the latest version of AVISynth but it's not working.

This also happens with MeGUI's xvid_encraw.exe.

Does anyone know how to fix it.

[buzzqw]

try updating the xvid_encraw build http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/xvid_encraw.zip

also, what are your pc specs ? (cpu,ram, S.O.)
i suppose is AMD ~ 1800XP (or this family) ?

BHH

[Barleyman]

ok... you are doing a CQ encoding... well.. since is a CQ you are not use the Autoresize... and since not using autoresize the automatrix will trigger the base matrix...

automatrix will switch matrix based on autoresize, on cq encoding is impossible to set correctly...

Well all right. Matrixes, filters and profiles would probably be a good starting point for the documentation project. I have pretty vague ideas of what the matrixes do at all. Filters I'm more familiar with.

At least for the filters there was SOME documentation in earlier versions (dropped now?), for matrixes there is none AFAIK..

[Barleyman]

Speaking of filters in fact.. What would be good combination for dealing with those series that have noise added for extra "documentary"-feeling? You know, SHIELD, band of brothers, Oz ..

They tend to make something like 33-50% bigger file as I suspect the xvid encoding struggles with the "artistic" noise.

[buzzqw]

the key is GRAIN, try with degrainmedian
after the first encoding with default value start tuning the value.

another approach could be tryed with the deen or fluxsmooth

BHH

P.S. and at half of manual.. i hope if few day to complete (again isn't a full tutorial just an introduction)

[Huerta]

I updated it and still get the error.

My computer specs.

Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop (Got it with my Ford Focus)
MS Windows XP SP2
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz

Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
70.9 GB Hardrive with 18 gigs of Free Space

If you need to know more just tell me.

[Barleyman]

Okay, I found a problem :sly:

South park again. Looks like .75 can recognize OK now it's interlaced. However I do get visible flickering deinterlace artifacts here and there.

Plus for some reason the encoding is slooooooooow.. 96 min to encode 22min cartoon on Athlon X64@2500MHz? I get whopping 6.5fps from xvid. Usually on this rig it's around 25..

Here's the logfile (http://personal.inet.fi/koti/ohramies/2007/Törkytorstai So .0.mpg.log)

If you want a cut of the mpg-file, how big it should be?

EDIT: @Barleyman
look here
22:22:27 Processing completed. Type is determined to be interlaced.
22:22:27 BFF: 42
22:22:27 TFF: 153
22:22:27 Order: var

the main problem is the 22:22:27 Order: var
in this case since the order isn't sure (var=variable) automkv will switch to an high quality deint procedure. And so is slow.

try forcing Interlaced TFF

[daftperception]

Hi I've been lurking around this post trying to make automkv into my default zune converter but I have two problems trust me I have searched. When I convert any surround sound movie it seems like it’s just picking any two channels and throwing them in there instead of turning them into stereo. Another problem is when I start encoding sometimes it fails to get the duration also the queue process is tedious and doesn't work for me atleast. Thanks for this tool your doing a great job.

edit:thanks

[buzzqw]

when encoding to zune and audio is multichannel choose STEREO downmixing, not original. In this way the audio will be properly downmixed

Another problem is when I start encoding sometimes it fails to get the duration

this is due to wmencoder... not to automkv, please install ffdshow (one way to determine video lenght is also looking at audio lenght :) )

queue process is tedious and doesn't work for me atleast
tedius ? i must admit the queue fuctions isn't my preferred code.. but.. tedius ?

BHH

[Huerta]

So can anyone help me with my problem.

[buzzqw]

@Huerta

download this http://tirnanog.fate.jp/mirror/XviD/xvid_encraw.7z

uncompress into \exe\encoder

the retry encoding utilizing only CQ encoding or SAP or Slow profiles.

for full compatibility with celtic_druid build open the xvid xml profiles and find <altpass2> and change to <altpass2>false</altpass2>

BUT not use CQ encoding AND HIT MEDIA SIZE (is ok to select CQ and Unlimited size)

sorry... i will ping squid_80...

BHH

[glynor]

This may be an incredibly stupid question, but in the Audio Track selection panes, there are three choices under the "Number of Channels combo box" that I'm not 100% clear on...

- Original
- DLP
- DLP II

I'm assuming that original copies over the original number of and encoding of the channels. However, if I have "Copy Original" selected as my chosen "codec", is it still necessary to choose "original" for the number of channels? If not, it would perhaps be better to grey out the combo box when Copy Original is selected (and if so, make it automatic when you choose Copy Original as the codec), and the same goes for the Quality slider (which is obviously ignored). Likewise, what happens if you choose "Original" as the "channel selection" and you have the codec set to LAME or NeroAAC?

DLP and DLP II. Is this Dolby Pro Logic 1/2? I assume it is, but since it's DLP not DPL, I'm a bit ambiguous. This could be a language translation thing (I know English cares a lot more about word position than many other languages), but in acronyms it's pretty important. Assuming it is, I also have a question about how it works... I assume if I select a 6-channel AC3 track as my input source and chose DLP II and NeroAAC as the codec then it will encode the "surround sound" data using the Pro Logic method. What are the limitations of this though? Does it work with all the codecs you can choose (LAME/WMV/OGG/etc)?

Is there any good place where I can go to look up additional info on this stuff?

[buzzqw]

if you select Copy Original there is no need to select any downmixing routines, since will be completely ignored.

DLP and DLP II
yes, is Dolby Pro Logic I and II , and yes, is a TYPO

all audio within automkv could accept dpl 1/2 since is the DECODER to expand/reconstruct the channels

i can suggest a search on hydrogenaudio or here in the audio forum.

BHH

P.S. as you know my language isn't english, even more i have learnd english most on IT books and by studing/playing RolePlayingGames... so more then mistake are to happen :)

[gekan]

the link to the manual on the first page is wrong. The link at the 1060th message is the correct one. :)

Thanks for the manual!

[Barleyman]

i have no idea how to handle a wiki, i need some serius adimistrator :help: :help: :scared:


Don't Panic!

No, I have no idea how to use wiki either but I'm usually pretty good with things you can do while having a beer..

It took me a minute to figure out where their help-page (well, wiki) is, http://wiki.wikihost.org/

Got to say at least the editor is pretty hostile. Can't upload images, make links..

[Barleyman]

I looked around a bit, looks like wikihost is not a very good choice compared with some others.. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wiki_Science:How_to_start_a_Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms

There are some free ones with decent editor etc. Wikihost was just 1st one in google! Definitely their software is a mess compared to something like that: http://www.wetpaint.com/

(I think that one may be "bit" over the top for modest manual project. Good for making tv-series homepage, thought :rolleyes:)

[Barleyman]

I think it may be best to use the most common one, that is mediawiki. Wikipedia uses it and there's plenty of documentation for it: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia

One place that offers free hosting is http://www.wiki-site.com/

I'm bit sceptical about this "free hosting" as such, so at least with mediawiki your doc backup will work on other sites..

thanks again Barleyman

[glynor]

There's a couple of things I've noticed with a recent DVD recode (episodes of Lost) I've been working on...

1. AutoMKV doesn't let me select my Daemon Tools provided virtual drive as the source drive. It just isn't in the drop down list at all, as if it thinks it's a hard drive.

2. My souce IFOs have a single 6 channel AC3 audio track. I'd like to include this track (as "original") in the MKV files I'm creating, and include a second track of the same audio track compressed to stereo AAC (for computers not set up for 5.1 channel sound or not set up to decode AC3). This doesn't work though. The second audio encode fails (giving the -1 size and the error message).

3. I'm having trouble with the video encoding as well, but I haven't had time to fully investigate this. I have had a number of my test encodes fail on my rip (ripped using DVD Decrypter in IFO mode to rip each episode individually) with the -1 final size. I'm using x264 and MKV, Highprofile, and no matrix. The encode works when using x264, Highprofile, and MP4 with simple audio, but I've been having it fail with the AC3 audio. Like I said, I haven't fully investigated this (since the encode process takes so long).

When I get home from work this evening (I'm in the US) I'll post some logs and look at #3 a bit more...

[glynor]

if you select Copy Original there is no
yes, is Dolby Pro Logic I and II , and yes, is a TYPO

P.S. as you know my language isn't english, even more i have learnd english most on IT books and by studing/playing RolePlayingGames... so more then mistake are to happen :)

I understand completely. I suspected that it was just a typo, but since I am by-no-means an audio engineer I figured it could also be some other newfangled thing I wasn't aware of!

And, frankly, your English is quite good, considering! Way better than my Italian!


i can suggest a search on hydrogenaudio or here in the audio forum.

Shoulda known better than to ask! I'll just have to get off my lazy ass and look that stuff up someday... :p

[Shark_jlc]

I've gone a little nuts on the wiki page. Hopefully it helps get people started cleaning it up a bit.

Edit: Ok, I'm done editing for the day. Have fun with it!

[whiskey]

Just wondering... whats the max file size support ? Since I tried today re-encode AVI 3.90 GB to MKV 1 DVDR and soon after I hit the start button message pops out BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED..., also box with media settings "Size vs. Unlimited" likes to pop again randomly while changing other settings in program.

[buzzqw]

1. AutoMKV doesn't let me select my Daemon Tools provided virtual drive as the source drive. It just isn't in the drop down list at all, as if it thinks it's a hard drive.

what drive letter is ?
do you mean the check dvd drive button ?

about 2': got it... i must look.. but wouldn't be easy

about 3': a log of failed encoding would be useful


@Shark_jlc
:thanks: !!! you have done an excellent work !!!

one more help (when you have time) on left panel "Navigation" is possible to add "Filter" and "Profiles" i (and i hope more and more people) would like to add some tips and hints how to use and understand

a big thanks again !
P.S. if you need some administrator password for the wiki, tell me !

@whiskey
whats the max file size support
virtually unlimited, depends on avisynth processes like avisource or directshowsource

BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED.
this mean that neither avisource or directshowsource are able to handle the file.

Are you able to play this file in media player classic ? or can you open thise file in virtualdub ?

also box with media settings "Size vs. Unlimited" likes to pop again randomly
isn't randomly, it change only when switching form crf/cq profile to non quality profiles

[Surlyrich]

I have started using automkv to convert my HDTV rips, and I must say this is a great little program. I am converting to x264 using videoredo to edit out commercials first. One problem I have run into however, is that most of my HDTV caps are in 50fps. I have not been able to find any option in automkv to change this to say 25fps. I am guessing this can be added in the command line window somehow, just not sure how to do it... Any feedback would be appreciated.

[Shark_jlc]

Buzzqw, your welcome for the edits :) Thank you for Automkv, its the first tool I've used to successfully create a good wmv file.

In regards to the wiki, I shouldn't need admin rights to do anything, so we are good there.

To clarify a request, the Navigation menu on the left is a very generic thing for wiki's. I generally do NOT see links to pages there. Instead there is a main page, that you get to, and the pages branch out from there.

As a matter of fact I'm not sure if you should really have the "help" link in the navigation go to the AutoMKV page.

I have created a blank filters page and a blank profiles page, and added links from the general help page to these pages.

I'll dig around a little more and see what else I can do.

Edit: I've made a redirect so going to profile or profiles goes to the same page, same goes for filter and filters.

[gonwk]

Hi Buzzqw,

I was all excited when I found "AutoMKV 0.74" to be used instead of AutoGK ... since YOUR program contains all software needed within it's OWN folder and it does not poll different folders AND can be installed without being in "Administrator" mode.

Here is my problem ... I was doing a Short MPEG1 clip (test clip) conversion from mpeg1 to AVI ... and I tried AutoMKV 0.74C, D, and E ... and they all flunked with the following messages ...

1) Audio Not Encoded Correctly. I said ignore ... then
2) AviMUX_GUI crashes and I see Microsoft Report Crash message.

Also, What is the DEAL with AutoMKV 0.74E when I launch it I get a Pop-up window saying "CRF" and "Hit Media Size" or "Unlimited" ... what is th edeal with this ... then blocks me from changing Container form MKV to AVI?

Could you shed any light on this?

Also, is there a "Printer-Friendly" or "PDF" Help File or Guide?

THANKS!
G!

Is your source audio monaural? I got that message when a source had mono audio, when doing a Zune WMV encoding. Buzzqw quickly added a mono selection to the WMV audio track setup and that fixed it. Have you tried pulling down the audio selection menu item that probably now says "Stereo"?

If you don't have mediaInfo (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=MediaInfo), I recommend it. It will quickly tell you the info on your videos. It integrates with Explorer so you can right click to run it on the selected file.

[buzzqw]

@Surlyrich

on deinterlacer box WRITE changefps(25.00) (overwriting AUTO)

@Shark_jlc

thanks again !

i added link for audio troubleshooting...

@gonwk

the hints of dlflannery are correct (even if you are encoding to avi). AutoMKV don't know of many audiochannels has source files.
Try selecting on Downmixing "Mono"

@dlflannery

very good hint ! (feel free to add to wiki... :D)

BHH

P.S. noboby have reported problem with audio encoding that NOT MORE POP-UP since i use vbs... i will include even deinterlacer and movielenght to no pop-up series... in next update

[vgiozo]

First of all, I would like to congratulate buzzqw for his excellent work and the very good program his has offered the community...

I am very glad to have come across this...

I just started using the program and as a total newbie, I am particularly drawn by ease of use, feature integration and performance...

AutoMkv does very well, but there are some things that could make it great.
So, following my compliments I would like to mention some extra features that could be integrated in the program and make it - to my mind - the best one around...

1) it would be great if one could set the desired video bitrate and immediately see a size calculation...if it could, depended on bitrate / file size, yield a recommended resolution or the resolution calculated to be used, it would be even better.

2) A preview of the (auto)cropped movie and the ability to make on the fly adjustments. This could rarely be an issue, but the autocrop selection might not be always perfect (my experience is not AutoMkv based)

These are the features i would consider great to see in the future...

Also, I'm not sure if I've come across a couple of bugs or I did something wrong...

a) When I select "don't care about size", the x264 encoding profile defaults to CQ_ASP_Q2_eq(crf).xml and I cannot change it.
(the default profile in AutoMkv 0.75 is Encoding-Mainprofile...same thing happens)

b) I am more used selecting bitrate of audio encoding rather than quality and when I click the "three exclamation mark" button and select a -BR, or -CBR encoding mode for Nero Digital in advanced settings, it does not change, it reverts immediately back to "quality" mode, or it never changes at all.
In fact any change made there is immediately reverted, like eg normalize audio.
(same goes with the newer 0.75 version posted above)

Hope i have not bored you...a million thanks once more for your work,
Cheers.

[buzzqw]

about point A fixed in next update, thanks for the bug !

it reverts immediately back to "quality" mode, or it never changes at all
isn't a bug.. is a visual misinterpretaion ...
every time you open the advenced audio setting the values inside were reset.
but automkv will remember the setting.

anyway in next update the bitrate (after selecting -cbr/-cb) will be display correctly

about point 1 and 2... automkv don't know visual aspect or duration of movie before launching the encoding... so will be difficult to know lenght or crop..however i got the point and added in todo list :)

thanks !

BHH

[glynor]

Sorry I didn't reply earlier -- It's been a week I'd rather forget.

I still haven't gotten the logs of the failed encodes (sorry), but regarding AutoMKV not having my Daemon Tools virtual drive available:

It's Drive V. It doesn't show up in the combobox list of drive letters at all next to the Check DVD drive button, so I can't choose it.

Just so you know, I assigned the virtual drive to V: by selecting it in the "Disk Management" MMC and changing the drive letter. I don't think this should make any difference, but I thought I'd mention it...

[buzzqw]

@glynor

fixed !

till 0.75 i will not enumerate all drive but only till j:
in next release i will enumerate all existing drivers (from a: to z: if presents)

about point 1 and 2... automkv don't know visual aspect or duration of movie before launching the encoding... so will be difficult to know lenght or crop..however i got the point and added in todo list :)

thanks !

I initially got the idea from Nero Recode...when one loads a ripped dvd, the program runs a short analysis and then presents, tunes resolution based on bitrate, etc...
Is there a way for AutoMkv to do some sort of analysis like that? (maybe it could be optional)

..maybe I'm asking for too much...this feature wasn't even in AutoGK which I was previously using...
Also I would not want the orientation of the program to change...this is mostly an automated (but not feature and performance decreased) program...

...but sometimes even for those who value their time and don't want to overlook a program while running as well as for those who are newbies (like me) and are not in fact willing to know much about video encoding, the above mentioned feature could be useful...

When loading the IFO file, isn't the duration of the movie shown somewhere ? (it must be in the subtitles if I'm not mistaken, eg PGC 01:45:38)
Could the program read the duration from there?

I'm so NOT in the know about such things, so all of the above are based on mere empirical observations...


Anyway, thanks once again, congratulations for the effort...

[buzzqw]

Is there a way for AutoMkv to do some sort of analysis like that? (maybe it could be optional)

this kind of analysis are performed when automkv starts.
I will index the movie, computing the lenght,width, framerate... then it will start a compression test to determine better width/height

When loading the IFO file, isn't the duration of the movie shown somewhere ? (it must be in the subtitles if I'm not mistaken, eg PGC 01:45:38)

yes, it is the movie lenght

Could the program read the duration from there?
yes again, but dvd as input is one of the many type of input file that AutoMKV can process
maybe in a next future i will include mediainfo... and then i will know the lenght of movie..

Anyway automkv prefer to have a size to hit then to specify the bitrate, however you can specify the bitrate or the quality to use

If I use "ProjectX for TS files" and uncheck DelayCut it does work (for 1 audio track only) but then the audio is way out of sync. So I kinda do need some way to fix the audio delay.
I'm making such a big file, if I just use the original audio ac3 file without any re-encoding I guess that might work right?

Hi folks,

@ Buzzqw, THANK YOU for your Reply and LOVE Your Program.

@ dlflannery, THANK YOU Very Much for your pointer ...
You are right ... my clip was a MPEG1, Chinese Karate movie clip ... I wanted to combine couple of my VCD's into 1 dvd ... so I had stripped the .DAT movie file ... and just copied it to a DVD and played it on my Philips DVD Player and I noticed that I could not select Mono Audio for the playback ... since the Darn "Stereo" audio of the VCD sounds Horribly Garbly ... like there are 2 different channels playing over each other ... so I Demuxed Audio and Video using DGIndex and fixed Audio from what it was to "Mono" and combined back ...
Anyway, sorry about Bore'ing you with my Story!
BTW, do you know of a STABLE, ACCURATE, and Freeware for Muxing up Video & Audio.

Thanks,
G!

[buzzqw]

sorry... but why use "ProjectX for TS files" if your input is an ifo (dvd)?

projectx (must) be used only for ts or dvr/pvr files not for normal vobs

so DON'T CHECK USE PROJECTX AND CHECK USE DELAY CUT

you shouldn't have problem :)

but if any , please report back

BHH

[buzzqw]

BTW, do you know of a STABLE, ACCURATE, and Freeware for Muxing up Video & Audio.

with automkv isn't needed !

if you feed automkv with the d2v file , automkv will ask for an audio file, so select your file. Then in downmix routines select Mono ! :)

[Shark_jlc]

...

BHH

Can you add this kind of logic into AutoMKV, so these kind of wrong choices cannot be made?

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

ADDED ! for this specific case, only if input is TS (or family) files the Use ProjectX and Custom X.ini will be abled.

Thanks for suggestion !

feel free to report any "misleading" fuction !

[gonwk]

Hi Buzzqw,

God Bless You Dude!

It does help if I know how to use the full power of your Tool.
I did not even realize that I could feed it .d2v.

BTW, you know I like Guides in any format but Wiki's to me are pain since you have to roll from page to page ... how about a "Printer-Friendly" format ... you know just single running page or .pdf or ...!?!?!?

THANKS AGAIN.

G!:)

[buzzqw]

open the wiki page, click left on HELP
after loading, click on left Printable Version ! (i hope will be enough.. or if you want i can build the pdf version)

about d2v : http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Help:Contents#Step_1_-_Set_Input_File

in next full package i will include a pdf version :)

In regards to the drop down which shows current status on the Main tab.

I believe it is showing everything that happens in the log, correct?

So, why not just make it a Status Bar, instead of a drop down? That seems like a more appropriate control type to use for that feature.

[buzzqw]

the true log stay in AutoMKV log tab

the drop-down box is to log main events and i use it to give some hits/tips/help

i will glady add more help in this box (is simply triggered by clicking on varius buttons of automkv)

BHH

[BleedingGums]

just a quick update on stability. AutoMKV .74e is on its 43rd item on its queue, has been running non-stop since the 12th and has not missed a beat yet.

I wasn't suggesting that the content of the drop down was bad.

I was suggesting a different control to display the content.

It's really up to you though :)

[buzzqw]

@BleedingGums
OMG! i haven't tested more the 4 file...

just for info: all input file are in the same directory or on more ?
one more: what happened between 11 and 12 queued files ?

i cannot belive ...

thanks BleedingGums! :goodpost:

@Shark_jlc

:) no prob !

BHH

[BleedingGums]

all the input file are in the same directory but different subfolders. All output files are then put in the same folder in an other different location.

i had queued 51 files. then i shut down and rebooted to minimize chances of crashing. unfortunetly when you reload autoMKV the queue files get resorted in 1/10/11/12...19/2/20/21...29/3/30/31... order, not a big deal but causes real chaos when trying to look over the log files. and i cant scroll the log window up cause there is too much stuff there. but as far as i can tell nothing happend out of the ordinary. All files come out superb, exept for a few where the deinterlacer gives up, but they are dvd mastering related and dont happen at 11 or 12 files intervals.
next time I queue more than 12 files ill keep an eye out.
what would happen between 11 and 12 files?

[buzzqw]

what would happen between 11 and 12 files?

nothing... but you previusly written that
has been running non-stop since the 12th
so i suppose that something has happen at 11-12 queue ... :p

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

nothing... but you previusly written that

so i suppose that something has happen at 11-12 queue ... :p

BHH

I think he meant his queue has been running since February 12th?

[BleedingGums]

yea, AutoMKV has been running since febuary 12th :)

[TheRyuu]

Ok, this is what I mean by the problem I'm having.

This seems to happen when I re-encode the audio files regardless of how many there are but the best example I can think of is with dual audio.

I then get an audio wasn't encoded properly message and I then I hit "quit" then copied the log and came here.

Now, if I ONLY choose ONE audio stream, I think if I use "ProjectX" it works. Now I'm not sure if thats because I unchecked "DelayCut" in the process or what (thats probably it right? Since ProjectX probably isn't being used)

But I've tried that and that only fixes the problem with 1 audio stream I think not to mention it's out of sync now.

*Runs and tries it without delay cut* ;)
...
First audio stream encoding correctly... (this is without delay cut)
And I still get an audio wasn't encoded properly with the second audio track. I don't get why this is happening. From what I can tell it's demuxing it correctly (I get 2 ac3 files in the temp folder and they both have the correct languages.

This is using AutoMKV version 0.75 (came with that pack that renamed the profiles a page or two back).

Could it be that it's a dts file? Because when I selected that audio file from the different audio tracks in AutoMKV, it said Japanese AC3...etc... (Japanese (AC3 2ch, 0xBD 0x81))
Didn't say anything about a dts file.

And delay cut shouldn't have been running. I thought that I unchecked that.

Also, one of the filter names and were it's placed is kind of confusing. The Convolution3d(preset=Anime"BQ") or whatever it was is confusing. At first I thought it was "Best Quality" but I was wrong. It really means "Bad Quality" for a bad quality source.
I found it confusing because it was above the HQ (high quality) one so I just thought it meant "best quality".

Anyway, not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.
Great program none the less.

[buzzqw]

first of all: check use delay cut and UNCHECK ProjectX

audio tracks are AC3 or DTS (play in mediaplayer classic, and do propriertis of files)?

also please post mkvmaudio.bat and mkvmaudio.avs from temp directory

also launch the mkvmaudio.vbs / mkvmaudio.bat from dos box, what is the error ? (or the mkvmaudio2.vbs /mkvmaudio2.bat)

thanks ! (and sorry but i have some difficulty to understud these errors)

Hi BHH,

I was encoding a ten minute .flv (FLV1) video today to the Zune 1 pass Quick profile, trying to find the combination of settings that worked reliably. What seems to work is to load the .flv file (not as .avs) and check Use Direct Show. The file has mono (.mp3) audio so I'm using the Mono audio setting.

I've tried both auto- and manual-crop. So far manual crop has worked everytime while with auto-crop it seems like the identical encoding will fail one time then succeed the next time. As usual the failures occur in the WME encoder, resulting in very short output files (no crashes so far).

I noticed a particular problem that seems like it has to be a bug. I was encoding with 128 kbps audio every test but one encoded file came out with 96 kbps audio. I thought maybe I accidentally set it to 96 but as you can see from the following log file section, the program was told to use 128 but in the WME script command line it was 96_44_2.

It looks like the audio bitrate was changed after I started the encoding, I think. (See two places marked in red.)
Thanks

[buzzqw]

i think i have understud ! (or i hope...)

the problem arise when encoding is started but you click on container or profile list's, on click (even if not changed) the bitrate goes to 96

the "bug" is that automkv will accept change in its settings while woriking...

first of all: check use delay cut and UNCHECK ProjectX

audio tracks are AC3 or DTS (play in mediaplayer classic, and do propriertis of files)?

also please post mkvmaudio.bat and mkvmaudio.avs from temp directory

also launch the mkvmaudio.vbs / mkvmaudio.bat from dos box, what is the error ? (or the mkvmaudio2.vbs /mkvmaudio2.bat)

thanks ! (and sorry but i have some difficulty to understud these errors)

BHH

I believe the top log is with delay cut and the bottom log is without it (I think, but I'll run the encodes again tomorrow for the logs and the files you wanted since the problem happens every time.

And I know that the audio files are dts or ac3. What I don't get is that the Japanese track IS AC3 but in AutoMKV log it's saying it's a dts (as well as in the temp directory).

When I get back to my regular computer tomorrow I'll run the encodes again with what you asked and then post the files too.

Until then....I don't know :P
And sorry about explaining the errors, I'll try to go step by step of what I did next time I post the logs.

Excellent program you've got here buzqw, I'm thrilled to find it and have enjoyed reading this thread and following the development.

I have been doing some experimenting and think I have encountered a potential bug with batch processing. I am attempting to use the queue to batch process ripped verisions of my dvd collection using xvid with "specify quality" setting of between 80-90 with the CQ profile. This seems to work properly for one-offs and the bitrates scale up as you would expect with increased quality. The problem I have found is when batch processing, this "specify quality" setting has no affect and the encoding uses the defaut settings. This has been confirmed by queing up a series of encodes with the same source clip using different quality settings and all the files come out the same size. When running them individually without the queue, everything seems to work fine.

Also, I seem to get the error about improper audio whenever I try and encode two seperate audio tracks that use the same source audio channel. For example, I use an original AC3 5.1 source to encode a "Lame Stereo" version for track 1 and the same AC3 5.1 source using "copy original" for track 2. This will consistantly produce the error althrough each track will encode individually just fine.

Hope this helps and again, amazing program you've got here.

@wizboy11

i need the error arised from launching the batch files (and alos the batch files).

no need to fell sorry, it's the log that is missing of useful information !

@bhh (feel strange... sign as my)

about quality: i will look ! thanks

about same audio: already fixed in next update !

BHH

[buzzqw]

@bhh

about quality: first of all fixed in next update
but as i wrote in changelog (09/02/2006 0.74 update) the quality was not working in queue.
Now is working :)

Something keeps happening to me. I tried encoding a file to xvid and it starts out fine by ripping the subs and transcoding the audio properly but it doesn't encode the video. Also I try to choose Mkv with Xvid_Slow and the Don't care about Media Size options but each time I choose Don't care about media size it changes it to Xvid_CQ. and I keep getting a Hit Media Size or Go Unlimited box each time I try to change it back.

[buzzqw]

@Huerta

and I keep getting a Hit Media Size or Go Unlimited box each time I try to change it back

thanks ! fixed in next update

to fix now do this: do not set "don't care about size" but select XviD_CQ profile and answer "go unlimited"

also about movie not encoded is due to incompatibility between dgindex/dgdecode and TIVTC.
Two solution:
OR download dgindex 1.4.9 beta 12 (http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec149b12.zip) and unzip into \exe\filter and \exe\dgindex folders
OR download the latest TIVTC http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/TIVTCv101.zip and unzip into \exe\filter folder

anyway in next full package is fixed

Hi Buzzqw,

A suggestion ... could you date your "Updates" so we can tell it is update from when!?!?

Also, I downloaded your latest update and plugged it in the "AutoMKV" folder ... and 0.74e still pops up the window saying "Go Unlimited" ... is this Normal?

Q: Am I installing your updates correctly ... just taking it and dropping it in the Original folder?

Thanks,
G!

[dlflannery]

I have several clips that are 640x480 AVI (mjpeg + mono mp3). I wanted to splice them together into one clip and make a Zune-compatible WMV. So I decided to try AVS source using (for example) the following AVS script:

function makeMovie(string fileName) {
audio=DirectShowSource(fileName, video = false)
audio = MergeChannels(audio,audio).resampleAudio(44100)
video=AVISource(fileName, audio = false)
return audiodub(audio, video)
}

makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi") ++
\ makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi")
This script plays OK in WMP11. Note that it has already converted the mono to stereo at 44kbps sample rate.

I input this AVS into AutoMKV and used the Zune 1 pass quick profile. However the encode fails --WME evaluates the length as 10 seconds (should be 61 sec) and quits early creating a very small file.

The movie.avs file in temp dir is:
Import("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\Nick2+3.avs")
audio=EnsureVBRMP3Sync(audio)
audio=ConvertAudioToFloat(audio)
audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)
audiodub(audio,last)
If I try to play movie.avs in WMP11 I get the error message: I don't know what "audio" means

Looking at my avs and movie.avs the problem is obvious. I need the following AVS command either at the end of my AVS script or at the beginning of movie.avs:
audio=getChannel(1,2)

After adding that command and running movie_wmv.bat I get a good encoding except the .wmv video size is still 640x480. This occurs whether I use the simpleResize with width=320 or the manual crop with size set to 320x240.

I found if I add these WME options in movie_wmv.bat:
-v_width 320 -v_height 240
the encoding runs good and produces the desired 320x240 output file, i.e. the encoder does the resizing. BTW, I found adding only the v_width option was not enough -- still produced 640x480.

It appears that AutoMKV does not apply the manual or auto resize functions to AVS source videos. (???) It looks like all it does in this case is convert the audio to float and send it to the WME encoder. Another question is why it converts the audio to float? I tried removing that command and the encoding was good.

Perhaps I don't understand what AutoMKV should do with an AVS input (??).

One idea for the Zune cases would be to have it add the -v_width and -v_height options, set to 320x240. I'm not sure what complications might happen for 16x9 formats however. The Zune spec (http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/howto/start/providecontent.htm#section5) says 320x180 (16:9 QVGA) but IIRC I have played files that were 320x192 in it, so I suspect the width must always be 320 but the height can range from 180 to 240.

Thanks!

Edit::stupid:
I had a feeling as I was writing the above that I should go check the manual before posting and ... sure enough there was the answer to my questions (most of them anyway) in the "Input to AutoMKV" section:

AVS file. Useful for encoding already prepared script. No filter or resize is applied, only audio will be asked. :o

Hey dl,

I know I am GREEN to all of this ... but are you calling me Stupid ... :D

Just kidding ... I wish I know 1/1000000 of what you guys know on coding then I would be A-OK!

You also wanted a few files.
I put them all in a rar file for ya and attached it (mkvaudio.bat/.avs/.vbs) with the title "mkvaudio.rar" for the first encode.

Hope this helps. I get another "audio wasn't encoded properly error if I uncheck "use delay cut" too. I'll upload that in a little bit.

EDIT:
Ok, here are the results of a failing encode (get a "audio wasn't encoded properly") without delay cut (DelayCut unchecked, thats the only thing that really changed from the top encode).

Now, I'm not sure whats wrong with the first encode, but in this second encode it says "fixed2.dts" when the audio file should be an ac3 file.

And, I'll attach the mkvaudio things in a rar file. For the second encode, it'll be "mkvaudio2.rar" (without delaycut).

Hope it'll tell you something.
If you need anything else I'll be glad to give it. I can recreate the same problem over and over again.

Hey dl,

I know I am GREEN to all of this ... but are you calling me Stupid ... :D

Just kidding ... I wish I know 1/1000000 of what you guys know on coding then I would be A-OK!

Nice seeing you around!
G!
My :stupid: was pointing to my own post -- not yours! I think you understood that but just in case ..... ;)

BTW I don't know whether I am one of the "guys" who know about coding but I can assure you I'm a newbie to video and AVS, but I enjoy learning it and AutoMKV is not only very useful but serves as a learning tool too.

[dlflannery]

A couple of small things about 0.75:

1. The audio bitrate again switched from 128 to 96 during a Zune encoding as noted in this prior post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=959670#post959670). I looked at the Audio Track setting after the encode was done and it was still saying 128. I did not touch anything on the GUI after hitting the Start Encoding button. This only happens sometimes in a random way.

2. If I load a source file by dragging it into Select Input File, the Movie Name (for output) does not update like it does if I load by browsing.

[Surlyrich]

I am having a couple of problems with some ts files.

This one is not specifically automkv related, but with one of my caps, I used videoredo to edit out commercials and create a new ts file. Videoredo reported some audio errors, so I ran it through mpeg2repair. When demuxing with projectx, the audio track ends up coming out 3 mins shorter than the video, however the original ts file plays fine end to end. Is this a problem with the original file that can not be fixed, or should I be using some other method to edit the file rather than using videoredo and then mpeg2repair?

Another problem I have is with a ts cap that is 4:3 with black borders on the left and right. When choosing autocrop, the encoded file ends up stretched and with black boarders on the top and bottom. Not sure what I did wrong there. What would be the best way to encode these tyoes of caps?

Cheers

[Huerta]

@Huerta



thanks ! fixed in next update

to fix now do this: do not set "don't care about size" but select XviD_CQ profile and answer "go unlimited"

also about movie not encoded is due to incompatibility between dgindex/dgdecode and TIVTC.
Two solution:
OR download dgindex 1.4.9 beta 12 (http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec149b12.zip) and unzip into \exe\filter and \exe\dgindex folders
OR download the latest TIVTC http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/TIVTCv101.zip and unzip into \exe\filter folder

anyway in next full package is fixed

BHH

I did the first solution and I extracted the zip into both /exe/filter and /exe/dgindex folders. But that didn't work.

Then I tried the second option exactly but it still doesn't encode.

Then I did both at the same time but that didn't work either.

Are there any other solutions or did I miss something.

@Huerta
please retry with this full package ! thanks !!

@Surlyrich
can you demux (audio and video) with videoredo the file ? if so do it
then point automkv to your m2v (or video only file), automkv will ask for audio, select your audio

configure remaining settings and start encode (don't check use projectx)

about stretch: on advanced settings do a manual crop or try "force muxing AR" to 16:9

@dlflannery
there isn't randomness on IT, just ordered chaos and entropy, some settings will trigger the switch...

BHH

[DarkZell666]

The link for the package without DVDFabDecrypter hasn't been copy/pasted properly I believe :)

Man I just tried it but it still the same problem lol. It rips the subs and transcodes the audio just fine but it can't encode to Xvid. Heres the log. I think it happens somewhere in the section I bolded

open the movie.avs in virtualdub or mediaplayer classic and post the error, thanks

BHH

[Huerta]

In Media Player Classic it says this exactly

"" "LoadPlugin:unable to load "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/AutoMKV076/exe/filter/RemoveGrain.dll"
(C:/DBZ/New Folder/temp/movie.avs, line 25)""

[buzzqw]

yes !

you need the big static version of removegrain ! (maybe cpu related)

download this
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/avisynth/RemoveGrain10.rar

remove the removegrain.dll from \exe\filter folder and
extract RemoveGrainS.dll into this folder

restart automkv ! :)

please post the update !

remove it, i said to put only removegrainS.dll (and remove DenoiseSharpen.dll,RemoveGrain.dll,RemoveGrain.cpp,RemoveGrainSSE2.dll,RemoveGrainSSE3.dll,Repair.dll, and all RSharpen*.*)

your cpu isn't SSE2 capable

BHH

[Huerta]

Alright I removed all the ones you mentioned, I also removed the RepairSSE2 and SSE3 if that's okay.

[buzzqw]

should be ok !

if any problem remove all \exe\filter folder and use the installation one's, then remove removegrain.dll from \exe\filter folder and extract RemoveGrainS.dll into this folder

New full Package ! 0.76

stable NEW package WITH DVDFabDecrypter www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV076.rar (8.14mb, all inclusive, NO install)
BHH
Thanks for your good work! :thanks:

@dlflannery
there isn't randomness on IT, just ordered chaos and entropy, some settings will trigger the switch...
BHH
OK! OK! As a good psuedo-random number generator algorithm demonstrates, it can be difficult for a human to distinguish between "ordered chaos" and true random-ness. :D

But if I repeat an identical encoding (i.e., encode, then just change nothing and hit the Start Encoding button again) would you expect this audio bitrate change to still be possible? (And I suppose you are now wondering: why would he do that? Answer: Just to test the "ordered chaos"!)

Question about AVS input:
When you source AVS, it asks for two audio track files. I was able to ignore (cancel) these two inputs and get a good result by defining a valid "audio" clip variable in my source AVS script. Is this an intended way of operation or did I just find a work-around to supplying the separate audio track file(s)?

[Shark_jlc]

I look forward to trying out the new release tonight!

Also, if anyone can add information to the filters wiki page, it would be appreciated. I have NO clue what the filters do :/

it's a GOOD work-around... remember that zune and all wmv encoding use the wmencoder AND avisynth to handle both audio and video

BHH

[TheRyuu]

Yea, in 076 I still get the audio wasn't encoded properly as in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=960213&postcount=1122).

Kinda figured it would happen again. Any idea whats wrong?

[dlflannery]

@dlflannery

BHH
So if I did not use this work-around, what should the audio files be? Can they be either actual audio files (.e.g., .mp3) and/or other AVS scripts that define the audio?

Thanks

[buzzqw]

@wizboy11
i am waiting for attachement approval

could be that audio is demuxed and wrongly recognized and DTS while being AC3

open the mkvmaudio.avs and change the nicdtssource to nicac3source and start the mkvmaudio.bat
if error: change nicac3source with directshowsource !

@dlflannery

i must check...

BHH

[TheRyuu]

Yea, thats what I was thinking, it was being somehow screwed up and said it was a dts when it was really an ac3 file.

But that still doesn't explain the first encode failing since they're both recognized as ac3 files (thats with DelayCut).

Well if you don't want to wait then here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/18408263/audio.rar.html

It has the mkvaudio and mkvaudio2 just like specified in the post. mkvaudio is for the first one and mkvaudio2 is for the second one.

[buzzqw]

@wizboy11

could you post the movie xxx xxx.log (should be 2 files, one per audio) , is generated by delaycut

thanks

BHH

[TheRyuu]

@wizboy11

could you post the movie xxx xxx.log (should be 2 files, one per audio) , is generated by delaycut

thanks

BHH

Sure.
And another thing I've noticed is that AFAIK it doesn't matter what kind of audio you choose, I tried Vorbis and Lame and both got the same error.

I'm not sure if there's two different problems here. One problem arises if you use DelayCut and another if you don't although I'm not sure.
Both of these are for the encode with DelayCut checked.

Is there really a bug or am I just doing something wrong. ;) :p

surely there is some problem within those audio files

last one try

don't check use delay cut, check force directshowsource

:fingercrossed: :angry:

BHH

[briancl]

I am getting no audio on my encodes regardless of codec. The only way I can get sound in my mkv's is by selecting "Copy original". I am selecting "Use ProjectX for TS files" and deselcting DelayCut, which is required for TS files, but no matter what I try, I get no audio if I compress the audio (Nero, Lame, Ogg, Coding Tech).

I have had this problem with the .75 version, and I just tried with .76 without any difference. I am trying to encode a .ts 1080 rip and I've tried different source files that were ripped with different systems at different encoding (dd20 and dd51).

I noticed that ProjectX pulls out the audio stream and creates the .ac3 file, but after the "Encoding fixed1.ac3 to NeroAAC with 0.35 quality", the ac3 file disappears, and the .mp4 file that is created is only 5kb. Obviously this .mp4 file should be larger if it contains an hour of audio. I am including all of the log files so that you can take a look... Thanks

[buzzqw]

@briancl
launch mkvmaudio.bat and spot the error

most probably in your ts files there are mixed audio channel, like 5.1 for film and 2 for spot, if so audio encoder will crash

try this: on advanced audio check use projectX AND use custom X.ini

then retry the encode

keep me informed !

Tried that and I got a "BREAK- File not supported"

[bhh]

ADDED: Now is possible to queue works while use Specify Quality (suggestion by bhh)
FIXED: It's now possible to encode the same audio track with Copy Original and any other codec (Copy Original in first box, Lame in second... as example) (or Lame and Ogg...) (thanks to glynor)


Both confirmed working properly here. :thanks:

thanks for the suggestions.. I tried them both..

I tried running with the Custom X.ini option selected, but nothing happens. When I hit start encoding, it very quickly flashes the "using projectx to demux" and then immediately jumps to "fixing audio" But there is no audio to fix. It hangs there indefinitely.

1 seconds for demuxing audio ? to short !

maybe related to long path... please try moving all atuomkv folder from desktop to c:\apps\automkv

and, using projectx and use custom x.ini retry the encode.

if no audio is extracted try without checking Use projectx :)

@wizboy11

your audios are definitively broken

please do this
encode the audio with besweet or other audio encoder
open automkv, on input feed the d2v already created by automkv when asked for audio point to your encoded audio and select copy original

one more: with autogk the encoding is ok ?

Me again lol. Well the episodes turned out much better than I expected. The only problem that I had was with the subtitles. I don't if you could help me with that but they are really off by a couple minutes, and some of them don't even show up. I can tell since I compared it with the origianal VOB. I think I know why though, although I don't know if you want me to explain it.

Maybe have it go to a specific part of the AutoMKV wiki (or just wikipedia) that either describes the containers/codecs in general, or that particular container/codec?

The path thing made the "Use Custom X.ini" work, but I'm still getting a 5kb audio1.mp4 file

If I deselect "Use ProjectX" and deselect "Allow use of delaycut", then I get an error (after it pulls out the audio file) "Audio did not encode properly, continue?" And I'm left with a 5kb audio.mp4 file, again...

[dlflannery]

I've run some experiments with AVS sourcing for both WMV and AVI/XVID encodings. When you load an AVS source the program asks for one or two audio files. I had already discovered that when encoding to WMV you can skip (cancel) the audio inputs as long as your input AVS script defines a valid "audio" variable.

The question I wanted to answer for both XVID and WMV encoding was which of three approaches for sourcing the audio track(s) works, when the video source is AVS:

1. Defining the audio variable in the sourced AVS script and not providing any separate audio track files in response to the two prompts.
2. Loading a separate audio file (e.g., .mp3, .wav).
3. Loading a separate audio-sourcing AVS file.

What my experiments suggest is:

1. For XVID encodings, the only way to input the audio is as a separate audio file. The other two approaches resulted in no audio (.mp3) file being produced and thus a muxer crash.

2. For WMV encodings the only way to input the audio is to define a valid audio clip variable named "audio" in the video input AVS file. This is because the movie.avs file simply imports the sourced video AVS and does a few processing commands on the "audio" variable before sourcing into the WMEncoder.

My original motivation for AVS sourcing was so I could splice several clips together in the AVS file. This is possilble for WMV encoding, but for AVI/XVID encoding you would have to generate the demuxed and spliced separate audio file (perhaps with VirtualDubMod as I did for these experiments), or splice the source clips (video and audio) with another program (perhaps VirualDubMod ?) and then source the spliced video in non-AVS form into AutoMKV. To put it another way, what would be the recommended way to splice two or more AVI files together and re-encode to desired parameters?

Also:
During these tests, although I specified a bitrate of 500 kbps, the XVID_encraw program encoded to 1300 kbps. The 500 kbps number was even displayed in the encoding command window. This was with the Xvid_fastest profile. (??)

@briancl

please download this build www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV077.exe

this build add in Advanced Settings "Use DirectShowSource for AUDIO", is my last hope for your audio.

do this: open automkv , set all options as you want in front panel , in advanced setting check use projectX, check use directshowsource for audio, DON'T check use delay cut.

i hope that is will fuction !!!!!!!!

EDIT: @WIZBOY11 please try with this solution!

@dlflannery
i will analyze your post later :)

[fogbav]

This sounds like the Problem i discribed month ago about the Bepipe (or/and) Delaycut thing with AC3 sound. I was not able to convert with automkv this tracks ... everytime it produced 5 KB Tracks.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=113811&page=25

Problem here is when AC3 has 2/0 Sound and then 3/2 Sound (Channels switching to other Mode) bepipe goes down ...8)

I posted my converting batch with besweet (fixing AC3 to 3/2)... this is still the way i go converting Audio Tracks when AC3 is in there.

But 4 everything else automkv is the best thing in the world.

P.S. : I will try the "Use DirectShowSource for AUDIO" too ...8)

[buzzqw]

yes fogbav, and from my test bepipe will fuction using directshowsource and a "scrambled" audio file
(it is ok on test file you had send me to test)

Hi buzzqw,

Could you please help me with another problem I've been having? I've tried every interlacing setting (including changefps settings), resize options, anamorphic/ITU, and all available codecs, but each time I get one of the following problems.
- Very visable interlaced movement (like ghosting) OR
- Minor interlacing, but flashes of colour during movement.

Confused, I let AutoMKV test the file...but I'm not sure this log is of any use.

[fogbav]

[buzzqw]

@dlflannery

ok, in next update i have added the possibility to specify an avs as audio input file.

in this way you can build 2 avs, one for video and one for audio, example:

for Video_input.avs:
directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",audio=false)+directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",audio=false)
for Audio_input.avs
directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",video=false)+directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",video=false)

in such way you can concatenate several movie.
This "option" will be permitteted in all encoding BUT WMV.

The wmv encoding is too complex to automatize, will be better to feed directly an avs fully customized and fuctional.

BHH

[dlflannery]

@buzzqw
Your planned changes for AVS input look great, :thanks:

When splicing non-WMV files, would it be possible to just use a single AVS source file like:
directShowSource("file1.avi") ++ directShowSource("file2.avi")
and thus no separate audio source file in this case?

Also, for the case of AVS input for WMV encodings, if the movie.avs file could first create the "audio" variable, then the user would not have to do that in the input AVS, e.g.,:
audio = getChannel(...,...) as the first line of movie.avs
(The arguments of getChannel would depend on the input audio, i.e., mono, stereo, 5.1). Perhaps this gets too complicated for AutoMKV to handle in a general way, so maybe it's better to leave it as is and instruct the operator that a valid "audio" clip variable must be created in the input script. (?)

I've found that for low sample rate PCM audio (e.g., 11 kHz mono), I have to resample it to 44kHz for directShow sourcing (e.g., to play in WMP11). I assume this could be always in movie.avs since resampling should not hurt even if not needed (?). (Or could logic be used so the resample only occurs if the sample rate is too low?).

Thanks again

[buzzqw]

When splicing non-WMV files, would it be possible to just use a single AVS source file like:directShowSource("file1.avi") ++ directShowSource("file2.avi")

yes, will be ok, just slower

and for wmv the avs must look like this

video=directShowSource("movie.avi") ++ directShowSource("movie_2.avi")
audio=directShowSource("movie.avi") ++ directShowSource("movie_2.avi")
global audio=getchannel(audio1,2)
return audiodub(video,audio)

for resampling

I have to resample it to 44kHz for directShow sourcing (e.g., to play in WMP11). I assume this could be always in movie.avs
while working with avs (and not for wmv) you can simply click advanced audio setting and select the ssrc you want

for wmv is better to but in input.avs

ssrc will not hurt if not used... hi resample could bring to bad audio... but ssrc is a very good resampler ! :)
and yes, for lame and ogg the resample will be adjusted automatically for very low bitrate

BHH

[dlflannery]

Using 0.76, sourcing the following AVS script:

function makeMovie(string fileName) {
AVISource(fileName, audio = false)
}

makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi") ++
\ makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi")
For audio track 1 I input the .mp3 file with the audio that matches the two spliced files.

Encoding to AVI/DIVX. If I allow DelayCut, it goes into an infinite loop, using 100% cpu, while the fixed1.mp3 file just keeps growing. I have to shut it down in Task Manager.

If I do not allow Delay Cut, I get a good encoding BUT the original .mp3 file is GONE! Turns out it exists in the temp folder and is renamed to audio.mp3.

I have done this with stereo and mono versions of the .mp3 file and with "Use Original" and Lame audio choices. The problem with Delay Cut is the same for all cases.

Also, I orignally generated the .mp3 files files (Using AVS into GraphEdit, mp3 compressor and dump) with a low sample rate (11 kHz). In this case AutoMKV would say the audio was improperly encoded and did I want to quit? If I did not quit (and Delay Cut was not allowed) it would go ahead and encode the Xvid and the muxer would fail because there was no audio file loaded. However if I added the loading of the audio file to the muxavi file and then ran muxing.bat, a good encoding would result (??). What causes the "improperly encoded" message?

Thanks

this is a know problem of delaycut. sometime delaycut goes crazy and start growing and growing...

this is ok, since you select original and so automkv will copy the audio tracks

about audio not properly encoded will be more robust in next update

I ripped a movie using DVDFab 3.0.8.5 beta.

In AutoMKV .76 I selected the video_ts.ifo as the input.
In the "Select PGC" dropdown, I chose the main movie file at 00:35:33:29 in length.

WMV is selected for container and codec.

Right now in the windows media cmd window, it tells me the source duration is 3891.621 seconds, or, over twice the size of the file I chose.

If I add up ALL the PGC lengths I see in the drop down, I roughly come up with 64 minutes, or the 3891 seconds.

So.... what did I do wrong here? :)

[gekan]

@Shark_jlc: I think you have to select "Episodic DVD/IFO" from advanced settings tab.

[dlflannery]

BHH
Did you understand I was saying my original .mp3 file was deleted by AutoMKV? A copy of it exists in the temp folder under the name audio.mp3 so it can be saved by copying it back to the original folder location and renaming to the original file name. (Only if the operator realizes the copy exists and if the temp folder was not deleted.)

But I don't see how it could be "ok" for AutoMKV to delete the original source file :confused:

Thanks

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc: I think you have to select "Episodic DVD/IFO" from advanced settings tab.

Hmmm, how can I tell before hand if I need to check that? This kid DVD only contains one main episode (at about 33 minutes long) and one big fat 22 minute ad for the rest of the dvd's in the series.

Well, I don't know if you can. Probably this 22 minute ad is considered to be like a second episode. I don't know if it's an AutoMKV bug or it's a fault in the DVD.

Anyway, did this work for you?

[Shark_jlc]

... Anyway, did this work for you?

I'll have to try later tonight when I'm not at work :)

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc
how many *.ifo there is in the movie ? i suppose only 2

video_ts.ifo and vts_01_1.ifo

if so the vts_01.ifo will contain even the "one big fat 22 minute ad for the rest of the dvd's in the series"

i am near sure you have only one set of vobs like vts_01_1.vob to vts_01_99.vob, again if true the "big fat 22" is withing the vts and so IS within the final wmv

the pgc is used for subtitle ripping NOT for selecting the vts to encode

if you want process a single specific IFO you must check "Episodic DVD/IFO" AND select the specific IFO you want to use, if not done automkv will simple select the BIGGEST ifo present on dvd

EDIT: is not possible to process dvd by pgc, you must rip by pgc to do this (or feed the d2v) (but i will search..)

@dlflannery

got your point... it's true, normally this isn't a problem since i "move/rename" the file extracted from dgindex... not a file of user... i will dig it, thanks

EDIT2: in log file is written "Renamed c:\xxx.mp3 to c:\temp\xxx.mp3" ... so is "near" understable
EDIT3: fixed, now is COPIED not MOVED

hi ALL !

i will be glad to be informormed if the new way to process audio (by directshowsource) is fuctional !

every user that had problems should try this way (and report)

This is a listing of the files produced when I did a full backup via DVDFab Decrypter:

http://picasaweb.google.com/shackmiscpics/Misc/photo#5037510067493291490

If I only wanted the main movie, what is the correct settings for me to choose in AutoMKV?

Edit: To clarify my question a bit, what are the correct settings for me to choose the main movie, and not have the 22 minute commerical added to the end of the movie (I'm not questioning codec/container/audio settings at the moment) based on that file listing.

[buzzqw]

direct link isn't working... no prob i got the image by browsing the misc folder

as i can see (and tell) all the videoes are in vts_01, both the episonde and the ads

i can suggest to rip with dvddrypter (not dvdfabdecrypter) and select what chapter to rip

is impossible for automkv (or autogk/megui/staxrip....) select the "chapter" you want since is within those other ads

or you create the d2v by selecting the boundaries of what you want to encode

or you can use pgc.net (http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pgcnet.html) to rip only what you want :)

OK, that makes sense. After looking at the files, and reading what you have said, I can see that based on the file names VTS_01_x.vob that most of the video is in vts_01 now.

DVDFab Decrypter has an option to rip the Main Movie, I'll see if I can just start using that.

BTW, granted I want wmv files to play via the Xbox360, is there some way for me to test using DirectShowSource for you?

[buzzqw]

sorry Shark_jlc ... .... ... ;)

i have added pgc processing !!!! :cool:

in next full update (next update) will be possibile after specifing what ifo to parse, to select what pgc (and so episodes) within the ifo selected to work with
(i hope my english is clear enough...)
this will fuction even on dvd to rip

the workflow will be (for already ripped dvd)
open automkv, check BOTH Process this IFO and Process this PGC, on input select the IFO containing the episodes, on pgc list select the pgc you want

after start encoding vsrip.exe will be used to "extract" from vob (to vob) only the selected program group chain

about DSS: i think no, sorry pal, this option is to use with difficult or corrupted audio stream, has nothing to do with wmv, thanks !

BHH

P.S. i cannot guarantee that subripping will be ok in such way, and i hope i haven't break anything

[Shark_jlc]

That sounds like it will save me a lot of trouble :)

yay!

I can't wait to test it out.

[Prospero424]

I'm mostly transcoding 1080i MPEG2 .ts files to 1280-width X264 MKV files at DVD-R size.

Which resize filter should I use for best quality?

Tips for other quality settings (filters and such) would be appreciated, as well.

[DarkZell666]

Which resize filter should I use for best quality? :readrule: Or reformulate the question to define what you call "best".

[Prospero424]

Okay, I'll rephrase:

What resize filter would you use in this situation?

[buzzqw]

for quality aiming and good filtering the choice would be lanczos or spline resizers
for filter, most depends on your source, a simply removegrain(mode=2) is usually enough for a near clean source file (or degrainmedian for a more noise source)

BHH

[bhh]

zup guys,

All is well with .076 and I am about 50 DVDs into a several hundred DVD collection. The batch processing is going great and I am generally running about 10 disk per day with few problems.

One suggestion I have that have that would improve the process would be a "supress errors" option. I am still occasionally getting the audio errors problem which is often just a unique situation that needs a little special care to work through it. The problem is that the error message pops up asking if I want to continue so sometimes I loose a whole day of encoding when I had much rather it just flag the log and move on.

This isn't really a bug or complaint even, simply a suggestion that would make the software perform a little better based on my specific utilization. Still though, EXCELLENT PROGRAM and I am loving it. BTW, where did the paypal link go?

BHH

Thanks for the input. Quick question: so would you use a removegrain filter even on a very clean HD source that was created using, say, a digital camera, or only on noisier HD sources that were transferred from, say, 35mm film?

In other words, is the "grain" intended to be removed by this filter a product of the source transfer/compression or from the "grain" of a film source itself?

[buzzqw]

@bhh

thanks for kind words !

about suppressing the warning... i could "time" the question , after 60 seconds if user don't click quit automkv will go ahead, even if muxing will be borked

about donation: the paypal button is hidden when processing dvd (is replaced by pgc selection), fell free to click here (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=azanzani%40gmail%2ecom&item_name=Donate%20to%20AutoMKV%20%21%20Thanks%20for%20your%20Support%20%21%21%21&no_shipping=1&return=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2e64k%2eit%2fandres%2fdata%2fa%2fThanks%2ehtm&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8) (or link in wiki)

@Prospero424
is to remove the original grain, what you want (remove grain AFTER) is done by the decoder (post processing)

BHH

BHH

Thanks again for the response, but I think you misunderstood me. I was wondering if I should still use a removegrain filter on, say, a movie filmed using modern, digital methods like Sin City or only on older movies like Blade Runner, which are sometimes transferred from their original film prints to a high-def format by people like HDNET.

Assume both sources in this example are at 1080.

And not to pile on, but I have yet to say it, so thanks SO MUCH for your work on this project. I've turned several friends onto it, as well, and they've been equally impressed.

[buzzqw]

a bit of grain is always neccessary for a "not washed-out look" of movie.

Pourpose of filter is to gain a little bit compressibility and to remove excessive grain or noise/flickering/mosquito/ringing/halo....

the "best" filter could be the "not apply filters" or a heavy weight Spresso, or a sharpener Seesaw

usually a removegrain(mode=2) is light enough to not destroy image but to clean a little noise around

i can suggest to do several test with varius filter on a short sample.

BHH

P.S. thanks for introducing AutoMKV to other user !

Hi folks,

I have this "Dumb" question ...

Q1: What is the AutoMKV with Decrypter used for?

If I am only interested in converting my DVD files (that are already on my hard drive) into AVI format ... then I guess the AutoMKV without Decrypter should work fine ... right!?!?!

G!

[Shark_jlc]

Using DVDFab Decrypter 3.0.8.6, I've ripped only the 16x9 movie from a disc that contains 16x9 and 4x3 versions, and other misc extras.

I pointed AutoMKV to the video_ts.ifo, chose wmv/wmv, 128 Kbps stereo audio, and "Set Width Resolution" to Auto.

This caused 2 issues with the resultant movie:

1) It seems to be in 4x3 format.
2) The farther into the movie you get the more often the audio gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. But then the audio does sync for a bit, then it gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. Very intermittent.

Any ideas?

[buzzqw]

Q1: What is the AutoMKV with Decrypter used for?

very simple answer: automkv can be used even to automatize from rip the dvd to final encoded movie.

Now i am using dvdfabdecrypter because it's command line usable and can deal with some old arcoos protection

hen I guess the AutoMKV without Decrypter should work fine ... right!?!?!

for sure !, simply input to one ifo of your decrypted dvd

@Shark_jlc

1) It seems to be in 4x3 format.
well... how automkv could choose what pgc to work ?
you should rip only the pgc you want (or wait next version with pgc selection...)

2) The farther into the movie you get the more often the audio gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. But then the audio does sync for a bit, then it gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. Very intermittent.

what is cpu use while decoding ? also try to play with other players (link mpc, vlc, wmp...)
one more: wmv encoding is done by wmencoder ... please try opening movie.avs with mpc/virtualdub and play it... is desyncronized ?

I only ripped the 16x9 version. (is that what you mean by "rip only the pgc I want"?)

The audio de-sync happens when I play the movie on my xbox360, or my windows xp box (athlon XP @ 1.7 ghz)

Where would I find the movie.avs file? In the temp folder I deleted ? :)

Thanks.

[buzzqw]

I only ripped the 16x9 version. (is that what you mean by "rip only the pgc I want"?)

yes, is that what i mean.

if it look "4:3" ... i don't know.. the wmv encoder don't set the aspect ratio... so if it look like 4:3 i can suppose that original file was a 4:3 film cropped and resized to 16:9

you can edit the <pixelratio> value to these
DV NTSC fullscreen 10:11
DV NTSC widescreen 40:33
DV PAL fullscreen 12:11
DV PAL widescreen 16:11
if you know it (but you must reencode)

and gain... yes... the movie.avs was in temp folder...
don't delete it till encoded film isn't played ! :(

BHH

P.S. a will look to AR into wmv...

[Shark_jlc]

I'll re-encode it tonight (for a 3rd time :) and check out the file in the temp folder.

Thanks buzzqw!

[buzzqw]

attention Shark_jlc !

change the pixelratio NOT to "16:11" (for example) but to "16 11" without quotes and without :

BHH

EDIT: dowload this 2 sample from the name you will understand the parameter used (are pal=

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/16_11movie.wmv and http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/12_11_movie.wmv (~1mb each)

[Shark_jlc]

This post will show my ignorance, I'm sure, but why do both movies show a width of 640 when you do a properties check on them?

It's obvious that one is widescreen and the other is not, would the widesreen not have a.... wider width?

[buzzqw]

one word : PAR (and two more AR and DAR)
would be long to explain but SeeMoreDigital have a lots of info on his site

start here http://www.seemoredigital.net/03_Video_Info.html and then go to "Resolution" and "Anamorphics"

i can suggest a long a intesive read. it is very well written andd ask to most "unquestionable" question :D

[buzzqw]

I am having a problem encoding a certain episode.

since the error is replicable, i suppose there is some problem with those vobs.

please try to open the movie.avs with mediaplayer classic or virtualdub and advanced till 81% of movie...

got any error ?

another try could be changing the xvid profile or better try with x264

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

Trying to play the movie.avs file in anything on my machine pegs my processor out and it just jumps and skips everywhere :/

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

try reducing resolution, open movie.avs look at out_width = XXX, set it to 320 and play... is in synch ?
if not may be a problem of ripping... (try with ripit4me)


@ALL

As you now Sh0dan has build an awesome plugin for avisynth ( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120025 ) "SoundOut"

With this plugin is possible to eliminate BePipe usage , and so .Net Framework

what is cons and pro ?

PRO: no .NET needed, no LAME.exe, mp3 encoding would be more robust since will be limited to official preset ( 32 40 48 56 64 80 96 112 128 160 192 224 256 320)
Other audio encoding NERO/OGG would be the same

CONS: AAC CCT (winamp) wouldn't be able to encode to 5.1 Channels , AAC CCT would be limited only to 2 ch (mono,stereo,dpl,dpl II), for MP3 only ABR and CBR mode avaiable (no more pure quality preset)
Maybe a little slower (60 seconds for every hours of audio encoded, on my p4 3.0 lame goes to near x8 realtime)


i have already done all modify to automkv, but, as always i have backupped all source

please tell me your preference

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

Changing the out_width doesn't seem to make a difference in the playback of the file for me. I'll rip with ripit4me and re-encode tonight.

In regards to the new plugin, the trade off is that AutoMKV loses some dependencies, but also loses some functionality.

*shrug* I have no preference :/

[sunflash10]

I think that the pros outweigh the cons in this case. Although CCT becomes less useful, there is always Nero AAC which is more or less the same thing. The better mp3 encoding is what matters to me most.

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc
have you select NONE to resizer ? if so delete from movie.avs last=movie

@sunflash10

thanks for you answer
about cct i think too could be ok even if limited to 2ch. Nero aac deliver an optimal quality and is freeware for personal use.
Even more encoding 5.1 with nero is painless while with cct i must check every switch to make compliant...

i would like to include neroaacenc with automkv software but actually there is some license problem... i have better hope for future :)

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc

...

I did select none, and I'll set last=movie tonight and try to play again!
Thanks.

[buzzqw]

i cannot set last=movie ! is automkv that set it when you select resizer NONE!

to test open the movie.avs and remove the line last=movie, then open in vdub/mediaplayer classic !

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

BHH

I removed the line where last=movie was set, and I set the width to 320 and still, no change. The movie.avs file just totally pegs out my machine and cannot be played :/

I've attached movie.avs in case you get a second to make sure I'm not missing something.

I have been using AutoMKV to make XviD and Zune movies. But I want to try H.264 but I am a little confused on the settings. I want a good quality 1 pass encoder, and I don't care about a target size, and I don't know what I should use for a profile.

Should I use:
> Constant Quality CRF?
> Constant Quality QP.
> I pass Intermediate?

What value of CRF should I use?

Right now when I use XviD I generally use single pass, don't care about size, quantizer of 3. I am looking for something similar.

Thanks,

[Huerta]

I was wondering if anyone could answer a question I have.

I have episodes and movies that I want to encode in really good quality. I've been encoding in Xvid for now but would like to try something different.

The episodes and movies are anime. I'm still learning DVD terms but I found out that the aspect ratio is 16:9. And it is 1080p Highest Quality HD Format.

I am going to use H.264 and Nero AAC when I encode. I was wondering what other settings I should use in order to get great quality. I also want to keep the Widescreen Resolution in case I put the episodes back to DVD. So what would you guys recommend.

[nx6]

Hello. I'm new I've been trying to get this to work for about the last two weeks and have yet to finish with a 100% successful MKV file. :confused:

I just tried another run of ripping a DVD with dual audio tracks and one subtitle track to an MKV, and the result is one that happens quite often. Everything seems to rip and process fine, but then when it finishes, I go looking for the final movie file, and there isn't one.

This time, after it ripped the DVD I got the error message that AutoMKV couldn't find the file "mkmvaudio.vbs" this happens quite often, even though the file is right in the directory it says it is looking in. So I aborted the rip since it said it couldn't rip the audio, then tried again but instead of pointing to the DVD drive I used the main VIDEO_TS from the aborted try before since the DVDFabDecrypter appeared to have done its job right and the DVD was on disk at that point.

I went to work and the X264 encoding was on its second pass, and I came home and the logfile says the job is done, but there is no final movie file.

Here's the log, I didn't see any text about errors, but it's like there are some final steps not being completed and I don't know why.

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

your source file is "Partly Film" and so AutoMKV will deinterlace with an hybrid procedure... that seems not allowed by wmv encoder

try this : on advanced settings, on deinterlacer set to FILM and then reencode

@weaver4

> Constant Quality CRF?
would be my first try :) with a value between 18 and 22 (is a personal taste)
is good looking and near as fast

@Huerta
set resizer to lanczos
width to 720
on advanced setting set use anamorphic
as profile i would go to crf profile (for maximize quality) or Encoding-Mainprofile

@nx6
first, move AutoMKV to c:\temp\apps or short path, don't put automkv folder on desktop

mini how-to for dvd2mkv

rip the dvd (ripit4me is truly great)
move the ripped dvd to c:\ripped\dvd\video_ts\....
open automkv
click on input an browse to c:\ripped\dvd and click on video_ts.ifo
select container
select codec
select disk settings
select the audio tracks (and remember that to use NERO you must download neroaacenc.exe from nerodigital.com site, it's free)
select subs
optional: select width and resizer
click Start Encoding
...
...

after some hours you will have in c:\ripped\dvd\video_ts\ a file named video_ts.mkv, this is your film

anyway i looking for the log , thanks !

Do I have to use the C drive? I don't have much room on it. I have an empty 30GB drive as drive S I was using for this try.

I actually got one job to almost complete successfully with this same DVD with AutoMKV on the desktop folder. But I got errors when it came time to add the subs and I got a movie file with good quality and both audio tracks but no subs. :(

But now that I think I'm not sure if that was AutoMKV or when I was trying MKVMagic before.

Also, should AutoMKV and the other folders (exe, profiles) be loose in C:\temp\apps or can they be in a containing folder?

[fogbav]

I vote for the new Audio Plugin !

[buzzqw]

@nx6
isn't necessary C: , just a shorter path
S:\dvdripping\automkv is very good ! (for example)

both audio tracks but no subs
if you can relaunch muxing.bat and spot the error (also post here muxing.bat)

should AutoMKV and the other folders (exe, profiles) be loose in C:\temp\apps or can they be in a containing folder?

:confused: ...

automkv is "self contained" with its folders
automkv.exe
license.txt
profiles folder
exe folder
all these files/folder must been in the same folder , download the full apps, unrar to s:\xxx\automkv and all is within

@fogbav

hi !

thanks for your vote. now with 3 to 0 (:mad: holy cows, 3 votes only, what the hell ! sometime i think to quit. :mad: ) seems that new plugin is preferred.
And i prefer it too.

fogbav, feel free to put your experience in the wiki !

[delacroixp]

I've done a couple of H264 encodes (all within the last week) with MeGUI and currently with AutoMKV using the mkv container.

They're quite breathtaking compared to Dr DivX 1 and VirtualDub encodes from a few years back... but nowhere do I find the option for 1080HD encoding. Both MeGUI and AutoMkv seem to be limited to the 'Home Theater' (720 x ???) profile.

Some of the guys on the Dr DivX Forums recommended Nero Recode which certainly supports 1080HD but possibly not the Mkv Container.

What's available in OSS ?

At 62 pages, it might be time for a new thread? :) People might not see that on page 61 you asked a question.

Maybe with the next .77 release?

[delacroixp]

I've completed a few encodes using AutoMKV with H264 and the Mkv container.

I'm compressing the 'Band of Brothers' series onto 1 DVD to compare my similar exercise with Dr DivX 1 and VirtualDub a few years back.
I would certainly recommend Constant Quality CRF as a vote for perfect efficiency and consistency.

http://forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=2760
Kamiwa (above link) suggested that a
Dr DivX quantizer of 2 = Q18 (H264) and a
Dr DivX quantizer of 3 = Q22 . "
Dr DivX quantizer of 4 = Q24 . "

Good luck and have a good one.

in WIDTH you can write what you want, even 1980 or 10000! automkv will encode at this width !

the profiles are used for determine codec configurations not width or height

@Shark_jlc
Also if you can add the code to AutoMKV to not "deinterlace with an hybrid procedure" when making a WMV film

DONE ! in next update

.....now with 3 to 0 ( holy cows, 3 votes only, what the hell ! sometime i think to quit. ) seems that new plugin is preferred.
And i prefer it too.....
It wasn't that I didn't care. I looked at the description of the new plugin. I just didn't have a strong opinion -- don't have enough encoding experience to appreciate the pros and cons.

[pdjm]

I don't understand one thing, the tooltip in the auto adjust crf option says that this option is a must for crf profile encoding however when i use crf profile i can't select this option. The check box has a strange behaviour, i try to check it but it's not possible to check it. I don't understand why this happens because the option is there and it's not greyed out.
Thanks for great program!

[pdjm]

One more question.I always use auto deinterlacer options and in my home computer i always get a message of this kind in the log file "Processing completed. Type is determined to be ..." However in two different computers where i also make some encodings with the same options this message is never there.Why does this happens?The lack of this message means the the program was not able to found the correct deinterlacer options?

[Prospero424]

AutoMKV is working GREAT for me, but I'm having one minor problem.

When I input a .TS file with AC3 audio and choose to use the original audio in AutoMKV, the final size of the resulting .MKV is always too small by a few hundred megabytes. AutoMKV seems to be calculating file size improperly (at least for AC3 .TS files).

Sure, I can compensate by setting the size manually, but I wanted to report my specific problem with the automation.

[delacroixp]

Awesome...

[note: When saving the .ini file... if you overwrite the .ini the file is saved without the .ini extension]

:) :D :eek:
Pascal

[buzzqw]

@dlflannery

your answer is a good aswer too !
if you cannot evaluate pro/cons mean new audio plugin is ok for you ! :)

@pdjm
attention: Adjust CRF Profile is to use ONLY when you answer "HIT MEDIA SIZE" on crf question.

about the inderlace: the phrase "Type is determined to be ..." is written only for NOT PROGRESSIVE source files.

@Prospero424
thanks, thanks ! you spotted a very ugly error !
automkv will double count the size of audio.... only with ts files
Fixed in next release !

@delacroixp
in next version the queue module got update. AutoMKV will save for every job its xml profile, so will be possible to "Use this profile" with queue

i hope to not break anything...

Gr8... will each job need a separate folder or will many jobs be able to use 1 folder, 1 temp folder and can each job have a different xml (profile) ?

Also, if I rip 3 movies in IFO mode into 1 folder (assume each movie is 1 file), including the IFO file and rename them all accordingly... movie1.VOB, movie1.IFO... movie2.VOB, movie2.IFO... etc
Will AutoMKV and/or DGIndex encode all 3 movies correctly ?

[buzzqw]

in next update the queueXXX.ini (jobs) and the new x264queueXXXprofile.xml goes in the automkv directory, so there is no need to have as many folders as jobs. Even the temp folder could be one only

Also, if I rip 3 movies in IFO mode into 1 folder (assume each movie is 1 file), including the IFO file and rename them all accordingly... movie1.VOB, movie1.IFO... movie2.VOB, movie2.IFO... etc
Will AutoMKV and/or DGIndex encode all 3 movies correctly ?

no, sorry. each full rip in one folder. OR put all in one folder, then create the d2v files for each movie and demux only the audio you want (named accordly to movie name).Then you can queue the d2v+audio works

I tried again last night. The AutoMKV folder is on the root level of the S: drive and when I woke up today I had the "cannot find file temp\mkvmaudio.vbs" error again. :rolleyes: If I double-click on the file I got a Script Host Error saying that in Line 2, Character 1, it couldn't find the file. I get the same cannot find file error for mkvmaudio2.vbs, movielenght.vbs, and deint.vbs, all of which are in S:\AutoMKV077\temp\ right now.


P.S.: If you're getting ready to do a new release, it would be movielength.vbs. ;)

Ah, I was looking in \temp. Well, the files from that attempt were all thrown out when I tried again. :D I saw the line saying what size the muxxed file was but I thought the \DVD folder only held the ripped DVD files, and I didn't see any files that matched the listed size anywhere else.

about cannot find vbs files, could be your antivirus that deined the lauch of those files?

I'll see. I turned off the antivirus and am running again right now. Will AutoMKV work with .NET framework 2.0? As that is what I have.

what file ? mkvmaudio.bat
In the Script Host Error message? I don't know. It did not specify. I will try taking screenshots next time it happens.

also, please try to lauch mkvmaudio.bat , is ok ?

I'll try that if this attempt freezes on those steps again.
Thank you for your help.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem getting subs in my foreign XvidD encodes which I am afraid is a bad case of "user error". I've tried a number of things including burning them in and a number of different movies, all of which I have had no suceess. VLC player simply doesn't show them and the subtitle track IS selected and enabled. WMP & WMP classic shows the extra black space at the bottom of the screen but displays nothing, captions are enabled. If anyone could take a look at the attached and steer me in the right direction, I would be very greatfull. This is really the first hiccup I've hit with this fine piece of programming.

Cheers,

Container/codec=wmv/wmv
Resize filter =none
deinterlacer=film
removeGrain(mode=2)

No subtitles

and the now the movie is about half the viewing size as before (movie.avs does say 720) and the sounds is still out of sync.

I will try again with these settings tonight, but I'm going to re-rip the movie with ripit4me.

a little note about subtitles and WMV

first of all for view subtitles is needed http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm and if installed in Haali Media Splitter allowed to load vsfilter

second: in wmv isn't possible muxing subtitle ! you must "embed/burn in" subtitles, by checking on Advanced Settings "Burn Subtitle in Movie"
