Any plans to use qaac or qtaacencoder (quicktime aac encoder) instead of nero?

[klopsknoedel]

Hi,

I think I got lost in the last two or three posts...
How is it possible to use NeroAAC or QtAAC (doesn't matter, just an other encoder as enc_aacplus) for encoding in RipBot?

Can your iphone or ipad play this sample?

Nice sample !!
Have you joined all those fragments ???? Few of them are of very high resolution ( flying ducks )

[Hobbe]

Yeah.. nice sample... works on ipad 2 and iphone 4.

[klopsknoedel]

F****** brilliant... what are your settings? I wished only one commercial Blu-Ray would have these fantastic quality!!!

maybe you could slice out a few minutes of the movie (where this blocking occurs) and a couple of us could try playing it, see what it does on our PCs

Here is a link to a sample file I have been talking about that has massive blockiness:

Please fast forward to 6:10 and you can see the blocks in the shadows and particularly at the shot of the bed on both the left and right sides. Also, in the last shot of the guy in the hat you can see the blocks on the left hand side in the black area (particularly at the top) and the right side in the blue area.

Let me know how it plays back for you. Thanks!

Don't you think that average bitrate of 1711 kbps might be to low to achieve good quality?!

5. a) install ffdshow tryouts x86 from here
5. b) install ffdshow tryouts x64 from here (if you have a 64-bit machine)
6. reboot
7. try again

Okay, I tried this install again. Uninstalled everything, and installed everything, rebooted. And I'm still having the same issue with the audio keeps going and the video freezing. So what else could the problem be. I don't ever install any other codecs packs either. I have VLC media player installed, Nero 10 Platinum HD installed as well. I have a malware(Malwarebytes), and Eset BE installed and have no viruses, nor malware installed. So why am I having this issue. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. I can do a 2 pass in little than hour. I am outputting to a AVCHD. I have a Phenom II AMD 6 core processor mobo. ALl help would be greatful as I keep having to throw away wasted media. I also have AnyDVD HD 6860 running as well.

What about DirectX ???

Have you installed it ??

Shouldn't that be included in the install of Windows 7 automatically?

[benjyv]

Try this one !!!

I already d/l'ed it from M$, and installed it, and now I'm trying to use ripbot for make avchd and I'll let you know after a about an hour if that worked or not the issue.

OK budy , waiting for good news ;-)

Yes, at first. However, when I was reading up on what to encode at from guides, forums, etc. the general consensus was that a CRF of 22-20 was recommended for HD sources and 20-18 for DVD. I prefer quality over file size so I went with 20 for HD sources and 18 for DVD.

I was amazed to see most of the 1080p sources coming out at about 2.5gb 720p files and thought that was really small. I was concerned when the average bitrates showed more in the 2500 kpbs range when I read that for 720p you usually want around 6000 kpbs (or 8000 kpbs for 1080p). When I played the 720p files done at crf 20 they looked great. I was amazed and a true believer in how good 264 is so I thought that even though the bitrate seemed low, it didn't matter as the picture looked so good.

Aside from all that, the problem I am referring to in the sample is present whether I encode at crf 20, 18, or 2 pass at 6144 kpbs. In addition, this excessive blockiness only seems to occur from VC1 sources. Could it be that some sources (this one in particular) requires a much higher kpbs in order to remove the blocks?

I am very interested to hear your take on my understanding of what crf should be used vs overall bitrate and, more importantly, were you able to reproduce the blockiness I am referring to when playing back the sample.

That didn't work. It still hangs for a little bit, but not as long as it did before. I never had these problem till I upgraded to 1.16.4, and converted to a x64 bit processor. This is frustrating.

You said you haven't installed a Codec Pack at all but VLC includes a Codec-Pack!
Please try MPC-HC from here and disable H.264 and VC.1 insite MPC-HC to force external encoders (Preferences -> Internal Filters).
Let us know if you still have these problems.

I'm not trying to watch my avchd on my desktop. I am watching these on my $ony standalone bluray player. So why do I need to install another media player? I don't watch movies on my desktop. I need this issue resolved so I can enjoy my AVCHD on my HTS.

[klopsknoedel]

Haven't known that.

@mrpitman

- Have you pushed the .exe button for installing DirectX ???
- What NET Framework version do you have installed on your OS ???
