That means for some reason avsutil couldn't play the file given as input. Installing a YV12 codec will probably fix it. (Sounds like xvid isn't installed properly?)

buzzqw · 10th February 2007, 12:09

confirm the solution given by squid_80, reinstall xvid (koepi build) fix it

BHH

henryho_hk · 11th February 2007, 06:15

Yeah, the bundled celticdruid's MTK xvid build does not install the directshow filter. I am using FFDShow and so I did not notice this problem.

squid_80 · 11th February 2007, 06:47

Does it install the vfw component though? That version of AVSUtil is pretty old, to play a file it requires the stream to be RGB or a codec that can convert whatever format it is to RGB.

henryho_hk · 11th February 2007, 10:48

Yeah, VFW component is installed. I am using AVSUtil and writefile() to obtain the details of the avs script. Is there a newer version of AVSUtil?

squid_80 · 11th February 2007, 16:31

There is, I must have forgotten to upload it. The text output is slightly different (I use it for benchmarking) but it still returns the framecount in %errorlevel%. I'll upload it tomorrow.

vanger · 12th February 2007, 08:14

what's wrong in such usage?

Code:

D:\avs2qxvid>avs2qxvid_25e.bat COMPTEST 700MB zxxxz91.avs

Usage:
  avs2qxvid_25e.bat {TGHQ/TGFAST/MTK}-{30/45/58/90/CT} <value>{bppx/kbps/KB/MB/G
B} {PAR} {FOD} {input1.avs} {input2.avs} ...
  avs2qxvid_25e.bat {COMPTEST} <value>{bppx/kbps/KB/MB/GB} {PAR} {FOD} {input1.a
vs} {input2.avs} ...

  Taking input1.avs, input2.avs ... and producing input1.avi, input2.avi ...
  in the corresponding directories.

  TGHQ and TGFAST are original Teegedeck's 2-pass XviD quality presets. MTK
  is quick and dirty adaptation of TGFAST (hopefully) to work with mpeg4
  standalones players.

  If the AVS has audio, it will be compressed into CBR/ABR MP3 or OGG at about
  128kbps (MP3 is for MTK).  If an audio file inputN.mp3 or inputN.ogg
  is present, it will also be used.  In both cases, if you specify the target
  size, the audio size will be taken into account into size prediction.  An AVI
  or MKV (for its chapter support) will be muxed.

  -30, 45, 58 and 90 are the Teegedeck's preset levels.  It governs many
  critical settings of XviD encodes, such as quantizer ranges and matrices.

  Target size can be specified in bit per pixel, kbit per sec, kilobytes,
  or gigabytes.  Beware that _Quality_ takes precedence over the size and
  bitrate and so it is possible to have oversize or undersize.

  You can also use "-CT" and let the compressibility test to pick a right level
  according to your desired target size or bitrate.  3 of the input will be
  used for the comp test if there are more than 500 frames.  It works well most
  of the time unless you enter extreme values, e.g. 650MB for a 10s clip (too
  big) or 100MB for a 1080p movie (too small).  Note:  If the AVS ends with a
  "return" statement, 3 sampling won't work and the full clip will be tested.

  Anamorphic encode is also supported.  You can specify a pixel aspect ratio
  (PAR) of 1:1 (default), PAL_4:3, PAL_16:9, NTSC_4:3, NTSC_16:9 or anything lik
e
  xxx:yyy.  Your player (software/standalone) will perform the resize.

  In case you need a comp test only, use COMPTEST.  After the test, a file named

  input.enc.txt will be generated in the source directory.  And then, when you
  specify only input.avs in the command line, the script will try to look for
  input.enc.txt for the compression options.  If not found, it will assume
  "TGFAST-CT 0.15bppx VGA_1:1".

  In case you want to force key-frames for, e.g., chapter points, create a text
  input.zones.txt listing all the frame numbers there.  If audio (separate file
  or audio in AVS) is also present, the program will mux them into a MKV
  container with these chapter points.

  All credits go to Teegedeck for his great quality presets and squid_80 for his

  wonderful xvid_encraws.exe and avsutil.exe.

  Examples:

  Compress input.avs using TGHQ-58 preset at a reference size of 700MB.
  > avs2qxvid_25e.bat TGHQ-58 700MB 1:1 PRO input.avs

  Compress input1.avs and input2.avs as PAL 16:9 and TFF using TGFAST preset at
  a preference bitrate of 1300kbps.  The preset level of indivdual avs will be
  selected according to each comp test result.
  > avs2qxvid_25e.bat TGFAST-CT 1300kbps PAL_4:3 TFF PAL_16:9 input1.avs input2.
avs

  Compress input.avs using the default of TGFAST-CT and 0.15bppx, or according
  to the settings in input.enc.txt in the same directory.  This is also what
  got executed when you drag and drop a AVS (or a number of AVS) onto this
  script.
  > avs2qxvid_25e.bat input.avs

  Test the compressibility of input.avs for the target size of 0.5GB.
  > avs2qxvid_25e.bat COMPTEST 0.5GB input.avs

Press any key to continue . . .

the avs script:

Code:

DirectShowSource("D:\capture\video\gen.mkv",fps=25,audio=false)

New AVSUtil, as promised. (I can make a build that isn't dependent on the VS2005 runtime library if you like, but it will blow up in size to be 80k instead of 7.5k.)

henryho_hk · 12th February 2007, 15:18

Do you mean this runtime library?
http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...redist_x86.exe

squid_80 · 12th February 2007, 15:30

Yes, if it's for VS2005 (I can't tell from the url and I'm not going to download it just to find out).

Sorry for the typo in the online help. Try:

avs2qxvid_25e.bat COMPTEST-CT 700MB 1:1 PRO zxxxz91.avs

"1:1" is ignored and does not really matter. "PRO" means progressive footage; you can also specify "TFF" or "BFF".

squid_80 · 13th February 2007, 13:31

FYI I found a bug today in AVSUtil that causes it to incorrectly report the number of frames in AVI files larger than 2GB. I'll try and get another new version uploaded soon.

EDIT: New version is available now, same url as above.

Dams · 14th February 2007, 16:32

@squid_80 : for what is used your software named AVSUtil ?
do you have a post on it ?

henryho_hk · 14th February 2007, 16:44

AVSUtil is an essential tool for my script. ^_^

Dams · 14th February 2007, 17:09

sorry daddy, I didn't see it

Hi, with this version of avsutil I get an error stating that there is a configuration problem and cannot be started

vanger · 16th February 2007, 06:45

how to make comptest for 2pass encoding and get quality near q=2 ?

a want to get bitrate for max quality (in reasonable limits)

kastiauto · 16th February 2007, 12:03

Why preset: MTK-CT xxMB won't do second pass? TGHQ-CT xxMB was OK.

__

Installing that XViD included in this package solved the problem and now 2 pass in MKT is working.

"Quality near q=2" is vague since you did not mention the matrix. For me, 6of9 or V3UHR at q=3 looks better than H.263 at q=2. (Very) generally speaking, I think TGHQ-90 or TGFAST-90 would be your choice. The trick is to pick the right target size. Since the comp-test result value (not the quantizers!) is in linear with the target bitrate/size, I think you can try this:

1) Pick a target reasonable bitrate, say 1600kbps for 640x480x29.97fps, and do a COMPTEST-CT pass.
2) Assuming that you obtain a comp test result of 42, you can project for the desired target: 1600*95/42 = 3620kbps
3) Do a TGFAST-90 at a target bitrate 3620kbps. It would be quite likely that the average quantizer is around 2 with the 6of9 matrix.
