automkv se the Low bitrate NOT the ULTRA low bitrate...

in next update the for don't care about size, the matrix will be set to "Didees SixOfNine-HVS.cqm"

and why loose 6 hours of encoding when you could have the same quality by selecting the profile "Constant Quality" in half time ???

BHH

I have no idea what you said above but I understood if I choose "constant quality" then quaility would be excellent and I would not be limited to 750 Mb. Encoding now. Thanks a lot.

[buzzqw]

have you selected Go Unlimited ?

Yes I figured if I choose something else then might end up with 750 Mb file again. Thanks.

[buzzqw]

that's right!

tell me when finished about quality

BHH

P.S. the same profile in next update will lead to more quality!

Quality is excellent now but problem is that AVI file is now 2.25 Gb in size and according to my media player it can not process files over 2 Gb filesize becouse AVI files are not supposed to be bigger then 2 GBs. Is there an option while have unlimited size to cut those into CD size chunks?

[buzzqw]

the unlimited is ulimited...

Is there an option while have unlimited size to cut those into CD size chunks?

directly with automkv ... no, but you can load your file in virtualdubmod (the one in \exe\matroska\virtualdubmod in automkv folder), go in file Save As , at bottom for Video select Direct Stream Copy and check Segmented output file and set your size

but i take your suggestion for a future approach

@buzzqw

what it the usage for this tag ?
<MaxNumberOfPasses>3</MaxNumberOfPasses>

I always have 2 pass (2 .bat) is it possible to have more ?

don't know if it's gonna do a difference.. but just to know

@survivant

no need for 3 pass, 2 pass is enough (and automkv support 2 pass ... no more)

BHH

[survivant]

@buzzqw I know that 2 passes is enough just want to know is the tag was used.

a new suggestiona.

#1
You have the option :AVS check and FFMPEG.

you should set check AVS by default. That don't make sense to encode a movie if there are errors. The popup is OK.

If the guy selected FFMPEg : using when x286 failed..
You have an error.. the guy could encode with ffmpeg because he choose it. In my case, I don't want to.. so stop there.

#2 The option Prepare only and pause before encoding.

If you selected prepare only.. the pause before encoding should be disabled.

@buzzqw
Could a multiple filters option be added in the future?
It would be very useful to me coz sometimes i want to pass more then one plugin in some dvds.

Btw, excellent work with AUTOMKV!!!

[nullstuff]

...you can write your chain in filters box.

didnt get it right
this way i.e.?
--RemoveGrain(mode=2) --MipSmooth(preset = "AnimeHQ") --QMLF1_3_motions

[acrespo]

I am trying to convert a avs with xvid in AutoMKV with default profile. The first step (audio part) is OK but when video encoding start automkv load x264 instead xvid_encraw.

Yes thats true.
If you wanted to chain it, it would be like this:

degrainmedian(mode=1).LimitedSharpenFaster().anotherfilter().anotherfilter().etc()

The period "." chains them.

If you wanted to really use multiple filters. Break out the base.avs file present in your automkv/exe/filters folder. Just throw them under #test5 like this:

#test5
a=last
b=a.degrainmedian(blah) #please don't use blah
SeeSaw(a,b, blah...)

Then select none as filters inside of automkv. Let automkv handle cropping/resizing though. Keeps it easy.

As of now, those are the only two ways to use multiple filters. I use the second one so much I just keep a shortcut of base.avs on my desktop .

--QMLF1_3_motions

Not sure about QMLF, I think thats a don't use unless you know what your doing kinda thing. (although I really don't know what QMLF even is )

I am trying to convert a avs with xvid in AutoMKV with default profile. The first step (audio part) is OK but when video encoding start automkv load x264 instead xvid_encraw.

Have you select xvid as your encoder? Sometimes that gets reset on me. Never seen/heard of that happening before.

There is something really wrong with NicMP4Box.exe. When it's launched it's just fills up HDD untill it's empty. See log below and screenshot showing NicMP4box.exe is not stopping at 100% and continuing past 100 for whatever reasonhttp://www.divshare.com/download/1246166-ce3

FIXED: Computing movie parameters is now hidden
FIXED: ColorMatrix slowdown, moved as last parameter. This little move will gain up to 15% of speed encoding
FIXED: Removed -fps from xvid_encraw command line. Even if value passed was correct
FIXED: In command line interface the movie name wasn't set (thanks to g_aleph_r)
FIXED: After several test the thread parameter is now set to "--threads 0 --thread-input"

FIXED: Some little layout change
FIXED: Using queue in multiple sessions (beta) (thanks to zacoz)
FIXED: When Disk Settings is "Don't care about size" and codec XviD the matrix will be set to "Didees SixOfNine-HVS.cqm"
FIXED: Some Matrix in XviD Profiles
FIXED: Totally reworked CRF/CQ Profile. Should be more clear and understable. Note that will be used as quantitizer the value in this window NOT in profile
UPDATE: X264 rev.663, all XviD profiles (compatibility with VirtualDub), all X264 profiles (for aq patch),MediaInfo 0.7.5.0, Aften 0.7

BHH

Great time for a suggestion I know, but...
When "Don't care about size" is selected it changes the "Set Width Resolution" to Original, however the "Resize filters" is left untouched. For aesthetics maybe have this change to NONE. That would also help to draw attention to the change to original width if "Don't care about size" had been accidentally selected and then changed.

Also, is there a configuration setting somewhere I can change to have the Audio Track language always default to English? That way I don't have to go into it every time, or is it saved as part of the Save Configuration in Advanced Settings?

EDIT: Just noticed in the wiki that the setting will be remembered. Is it remembered after AutoMKV is closed and then re-opened?

Problem with this is the popup would halt batch mode. Possibly have AVS check deactivated if batch mode activated, or alternatively leave AVS check activated, no popup, and an option not to fallback to FFmpeg encoding (thus letting rest of batch continue).

While on the subject what does the FFmpeg encoding dropdown affect anyway. Mines defaulted to NONE but have had encoding fall back to FFmpeg anyway. Can't find anything about it in the wiki.
