@orbitlee: are you sure that vc-1 video on HD-DVD can be vfr ?
If is this the case (like in wmv), we need another util to extract the timecodes from evo ...

@BigBoss: It happened to me also with Serenity movie (audio problem)...
Quote:
1) I can use Sonic's filters and get true 24 fps progressive frames without duplicates.
How? I'm getting 29.97 too ...
Have you got the whole application or just the filters?
Is there some registry hack to for the sonic filters to not produce 29.97 instead of 24 fps?

@drmpeg: we don't need the gui now ... maybe later
Can you extract the subtitles from the evo? (Is it plaintext or picture?)

@honai: it's a very good idea! Congratulation! (XPL)
Though there can be problems with that:
- what if this file is missing?
- what if this file is corrupted or includes invalid data?
So the direct mode (within the util) is always the best method.

I too have problem with the elcard mpeg demuxxer.
When I connect it with Graphedit to the VC-1 stream it just crashes. I can demux it though if I use the sonic demuxxer.
But I don't know if that produces a good stream

@holzi: What version of the Elecard streaming pack are you using? I'm using the latest - Elecard MPEG-2 Decoder & Streaming Pack 3.0. Previous versions probably don't support VC-1.

Please check your private messages for a more detailed description of the correct installation method.

Also, today I will be testing the Sonic HD Demuxer's ability to substitute for the Elecard, and will report back on whether it works.

@madshi: I'm 'not happy' with the MKV file because, while it plays OK in MPC, it hangs directshowsource().

@Daodan: Are you using the exact filters and steps? In particular, the regular Matroska Muxer DOES NOT WORK: it produces an almost-empty MKV just as you describe.

You MUST use the Haali Matroska Muxer, and the latest (3.0) Elecard MPEG Demultiplexer.

Unfortunately..yes. I tried both Haali and matroska muxer with same insucces. I had the elecard demultiplexer from before from some other elecard product, but installed the one you said just to be sure, and still nothing. However, i was finally able to demux something using the sonic demuxer and haali muxer, but it stopped at less then half way, but at least te result was indeed a working vc1 in mkv.
From what I tried things are VERY dependat on the track you are woking with, especially if they are the big files. For example one of my tries left me with a demuxed video stream that had 20% less frames (but te ending was there) so the decoder for some reason just skips some frames, because I think the demuxer couldn't have just removed them.

I tested the Sonic HD Demuxer very carefully. It appears to work, but both the MKV and AVI file produced at the end of my process have far in excess of 25% extra frames, and seem to be missing frames from the beginning.

OK, just found out the problem! I tested the process on my server downstairs, and installed the version I had. It crashed!

So I checked the version against mine upstairs, and found it was older than the working version!

The BAD version is 1.0.19, the GOOD version is 1.0.47 build 60321. The newer version file is larger by about 100k; they added VC-1 support, obviously. There is an even newer build that I haven't tested yet: 60526.

So I overwrote the older file with my newer one from upstairs, popped up GraphEdit, and she works like a charm!

Here is the CORRECT version (make an empty graph, insert the filter by itself, right-click, Filter Properties...



The previous version of the Elecard MPEG Demultiplexer will always crash.

Anyone who's had the crashing problem, please Private Message me for technical assistance.

Finally, I'd like to add that the Elecard Demultiplexer is really powerful: it can properly recognize and demux both VC-1 and H264. Its output pin actually says "VC-1" and "H264" when its input is connected to the respective sources, which means its internal code is actually recognizing the formats and handling them correctly.

I already have a BD .m2ts demuxer. See:

http://www.w6rz.net/xport.zip

Use the -h option for BD files.

(from the readme file)
h = input file is in HDMV (AVCHD) format (192 byte packets)

BD = HDMV = AVCHD.

here's what i used as a test for reencoding an .evo to x264/HE-AAC. you can also do AC3 using the FFMPEG encoder megui comes with.
some problems i had are you have to specify the number of frames manually (you can determine this using virtualdub) and seeking with large files takes ages (hence disabling the preview in megui). to get 5.1 output you need to set your speakers to 5.1 in windows audio properties and then set it to 5.1 in the intervideo decoder in the graph.
there might be some avisynth settings to fix this, or maybe a better demuxer.

Anyone tried the FFMPEG patches that add EVBO and E-AC3 (DD+) support?

Nope, but wow! That is great news.

@Isochroma

See, it didn't take "months or years". ;-)

@ape: Thanks for the graphs! Unfortunately, your video graph just hangs vdub with 100% CPU usage on my machine, then closes after about 30 seconds.

I've updated my demuxer to add LPCM extraction and stream detection and reporting.

http://www.w6rz.net/evob_demux.zip

EVOB Demuxer = Version 0.2

Changes for Version 0.2

1) Added correct LPCM extraction
2) Added audio and video stream detection and reporting

Usage:

demux <-p> <infile> <video outfile> <audio outfile> <audio format> <audio track>

Typically:

demux movie.evo bits.mpv bits.mpa 1 0

Audio formats:

0 = DD
1 = DD+
2 = DTS-HD
3 = LPCM
4 = MLP

-p option dumps both audio and video PTS values

LPCM extraction was tested with an SD DVD, "The Cure Trilogy".

C:\xfer>demux d:\video_ts\vts_01_5.vob bits.mpv bits.mpa 3 0
MPEG-2 Video Stream found!
LPCM Audio Stream number 0 found!
DD Audio Stream number 1 found!
C:\xfer>

BTW, the extracted LPCM format for this title is PCM signed 16 bit, big endian, stereo, 48000 Hz.

Ron

@drmpeg: Thanks so much for the continued work on demux.exe, it is an invaluable tool.

Here's a useful link to a series of patents on EVOBs, full of nice technical details.

Whenever I try to drop the vc1 file into graphedit, graphedit just hangs and does nothing. I am using the current version of elecard.

@Badness: When you drop a media file into GraphEdit, it tries to do a full render using the default chain. Instead, you have to build it yourself, to avoid GraphEdit hanging because it is 'automatically' selecting incompatible filters.

First, startup graphedit with an empty graph. Next, add a filter: expand the DirectShow Filters Section, and select File Source (Async.). It will pop up a window so you can select your .vc1 file.

Then, hit ok on that window and you will see the filename in a new box in the main window.

Now, scroll down the filter list and add the Elecard demuxer, then add the Haali Matroska Muxer, then close the Add Filter window.

Now you can manually connect the pins and you're done!

If it crashes anywhere during this process, please reply with your results in detail.
