TS-File > x264

[Rodger]

Hi there I´m completely astonished, that there isn´t yet more information on the net about this.

Well it´s the following:
I record DVB-S2 Streams with my satelite-receiver which I can put into a single HUGE TS-File. Since 720p isnt that much less quality than 1080i I´d like to reencode the video-stream.
My aim is a normal DVD-R. At least I´d like to try to.

So I looked out for possible ways.
So far...staxrip, MeGui....all programs REFUSE to take the TS-Files.

Best way so far...I´m using TMPGenc Xpress 4.0 with the x264vfw version and put it into a avi-container.
Then I take the x264video out of that avi-container mux it with org. AC3-File and put it into mkv.

Another project for me in the future will be bringing those reencoded videos back to the vantage Hd7100 to see, if it plays.

try automkv or automen

'normal' way in megui for ts streams would be:

1. demux raw streams form the file with tsremux
2. run avc raw stream through dgavcdec
3. load .dga file via avcsource through an avisynth script and resize
e.g.
AVCSource("c:\test.dga")
LanczosResize(1280,720)
remember to deinterlace if needed before resizing
4. load .avs file and audio raw in megui as source files
5. do your settings and start encoding

There is a lot easier way. Use RipBot264.

[Rodger]

RipRobot also sucks doing this Joy, like all other tools.

@Selur
Please Explain Step 3+4 little more.

I created a avs-spcript looking like this:

"LoadPlugin("DGAVCDecode.dll")
AVCSource("d:\Vantage-Files\Zathura.dga")
kerneldeint()
LanczosResize(1280,720)

I don´t know anythinb better than trying to load it in MeGui directly which ends up in an Error attached.
Guess I need to learn avi-synth-scripting, if there comes no automation soon.


By the way...you may write it in german, it you like to ;)

[Selur]

Have to wait for a mod to aprove the attachment to see the error message,.. ;)

@Atak_Snajpera: afaik RipBot264 would only work if decoding via directshowsource works correctly, or do newer versions of RipBot264 use DGAVCDec ?

[Rodger]

Ooohh...there is no porn stuff or warez in that screen. ;)
Rules of the board...will have to wait.

Did you try with CoreAVC?
Did you check for errors?
Did you cut properly?
How about sending a small sample for us?

[Rodger]

Ripbot says: Video cannot be decoded.

So...program error...Codecs are installed.
While it is not CoreAVC I have Cyberlink installed which is capable of more than CoreAVC is.

[mitsubishi]

Why can't you use an imagehost like imageshack (http://imageshack.us/), it's quicker than attachments.

Also have you seen what the error is if you open the avs script in a media player?

[Atak_Snajpera]

If were you I would use CoreAVC or FFDShow. One more thing! Make sure they are used during decoding.

[foxyshadis]

"Script error: Syntax error, line 2, column 13" sounds pretty self-explanatory to me. MeGUI obviously didn't make it, and if you don't post the full unedited script causing the error, how can anyone help?

[Rodger]

In post #5 THERE IS my complete script.
It my be totally wrong...but I don´t know....

In case some developers are here.
Here is a example-Folder of what my sat-receiver is recording.
http://rapidshare.com/files/85750220/Test-File_22-01-2008_01.ZIP.html

[Selur]

AVCSource("PREMIEREHD 22-01-2008_01.dga")
LanczosResize(1280,720)
Autocrop(mode=0, wMultOf=16, hMultOf=16) #since I'm to lazy to do cropping manually
works fine with MeGui and your sample over here,...

So seems more like a typo somewhere on your side,..

[Rodger]

I made it...I made it through that sh... ;)
I finally found out, what was the error.
All PlugIns that I use need to be registered.

See the working script:

==================================================
LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\DGAVCDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\kerneldeint.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Programme\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Autocrop.dll")
AVCSource("Zathura.dga")
KernelDeint(order=0)
LanczosResize(1280,720)
Autocrop(mode=0, wMultOf=16, hMultOf=16)
==================================================

So can anyone tell me, how to register plugins permanently?

I´ve seen und read this part already...but this time I understood ;)

Thank you!

btw...Staxrip had entered it´s directory...:devil:

[Selur]

"but this time I understood"

Rodger:
what kind of software do you use for cut your .ts files?

[Rodger]

http://www.h264tscutter.de/

works absolutely fine for me!

[audyovydeo]

Have you tried avidemux ?
my tool of choice for DVB captures.


cheers

Not the application I´d avise to use!
It seems to run in compatibility-mode...

[luckyhell]

avidemux is strange for me.
with .ts files in SD work well, but if I try to open a HD .ts files give me an error and don't open the file!

[Rodger]

Hey lucky hell,

until few minutes ago...my opinion was that it doesn´t support H264 material.
Then I tried it to the hardest.

first message from AVIdemux: seems like MPEG....should I make Index? YOU HAVE THE SAY "YES" at this point...otherwise...END!

second message after this: looks like h264....should I try to work with that thream? OF COURSE ONLY "YES" leads to a further working with the TS-Files.

So still I absolutely would´nt advise ANYBODY to use AVIdemux with a TS-File. Safe Usage looks different to me :rolleyes:

[audyovydeo]

true it's a tool still under heavy development, where the milestone builds aren t necessarily better than the intermediate ones IMO.
And also I do SD only, not HD.

cheers

[foxyshadis]

Rodger, you'd advise against using avidemux even though it opens the files fine, just because it asks a couple questions first? (Although I've recommended more than once that it always perform the actions instead of asking uselessly.)
