you should add it manually

first one is really usefull

I use pause too (manualy insert it on queue in HDC), but before pause I colorize text - to visualy see when process is finished

example:

prompt $d $t $_$P$G
"C:\DVD\HDC\applications\dgindex.exe" -FO=0 -OM=0 -YR=2 -AIF=[c:\dvd\title.mkv] -OF=[C:\DVD\HDC\temp\movie] -exit -minimize
"C:\DVD\HDC\applications\eac3to.exe" "c:\dvd\title.mkv" 2: "C:\DVD\HDC\temp\hdencodertox-pid2.ac3"
"C:\DVD\HDC\applications\x264.exe" --bitrate 467 --threads auto --thread-input --no-psnr --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 1 --trellis 0 --ref 1 --deblock 0,0 --subme 2 --direct spatial --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me hex --no-ssim --merange 8 --b-adapt 0 --no-chroma-me --aud --sar 1:1  --output "C:\DVD\HDC\temp\hdconverttox_title.h264" "C:\DVD\HDC\temp\hdconverttox_title.avs"
"C:\DVD\HDC\applications\mkvmerge.exe" -o "C:\DVD\title2.mkv" --default-duration 0:25.000fps  "C:\DVD\HDC\temp\hdconverttox_title.h264"   --language -1:cze "C:\DVD\HDC\temp\hdencodertox-pid2.ac3" --title "Done with HDConvertToX v.1.7.323.2869"
color 0a
pause

When I use "pause" more times, I each time colorize text in different color.

I really like this modifiable queue in HDC!!

its OK for me, if you or others do not like it

[buzzqw]

i like it too! .. but it's better not to add it, many users don't know what "pause" do...

I know. I was just putting example how I colorize text before pause - that way you can easier see when encode is done and queue is on pause (before next encode starts).

I was using this before I used multitemp - so I didn't loose temp files if encode wasn't correct (I usually have more videos in queue).

Hi,

I have MKV (created from DVD by MakeMKV) with 1 video (mpeg2), 2 audio (ac3) and 3 subs streams and want to reencode video to X264.

There is some problem with subs:

eac3to v3.16
command line: "C:\DVD\HDC\applications\eac3to.exe"  "c:\dvd\title_in.mkv" 4:"C:\DVD\temp\title_in_mkv\hdencodertox__subs_4.sup"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MKV, 1 video track, 2 audio tracks, 3 subtitle tracks, 1:46:09, 50i
1: MPEG2, 576i50 (16:9)
2: AC3, Czech, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48khz
   "3/2+1"
3: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48khz
   "3/2+1"
4: Subtitle (VobSub), Czech
5: Subtitle (VobSub), Czech
6: Subtitle (VobSub), Czech
Bitstream parsing for tracks 4-6 failed.  <WARNING>
Demuxing these tracks may still produce correct results - or not.  <WARNING>
This subtitle conversion is not supported.  <ERROR>

Of course, .sup file is not created.

[rickhtoo]

never finished ??? that's strange.. a lot.
make sure you had enough space on disk.. i strongly doubt is a problem of ifo

Nope it wasn't the ifo.. Not a problem with disk space either. It actually hasn't happened since I set it back to choose the best encoder. I did however change a few other settings. Deint was set to none when having the jagged edge problems, and although there is an automatic selection I have not tried that. I will try the force DSS2 setting again to see if that was causing the encode not to finish, but it happened on 2 different DVD's. Also the Film NTSC mode was causing the encode to never happen. Not until I set it to interlaced did it actually work. Still trying to narrow down cause and effect, but I'm starting to be more successful getting proper encodes to happen. I'll keep you informed when I figure out what was causing the encode to hang at the end.. Very aggravating.. Thanks

Rick

Definitely, the problem is caused by DSS2.. Every time I use it, the encode never finishes... Reinstall Haali? Maybe there is a newer version, I will check.

Reinstalled Haali 1.9.42.1. Upon installation, it disabled the internal version as well as Gabests version, I assume that is the required action.
Other than that, not sure what else I can do. Possibly a Vista issue? Who knows....

copy from haali folder to \filters the avss.dll
also make sure you have checked in ffdshow the dvd decoding in mpeg2
also try with libmpeg decoder..

not sure if it helps but i have had the same problem with makemkv files.. i gave up with them after seeing this post and re-ripped from the source

I would report it to MakeMKV forum, but I have no idea whats the problem. Do you have any idea?

BTW, mkvextract is able to extract it to .sub and .idx with no problems.

yes, i know (as said i have already added a support to mkvextract)

but i will continue relying on eac3to for demuxing mkv , in the hope that eac3to will continue to be supported

BHH

[Havokdan]

Could add the ability to save automatically with the same name as the original when the file is saved in different folder or is not the same extension as the original file.Here he adds the final file, a text before the original name. Thanks.

[buzzqw]

... could you make an example ?

(sorry pal, i haven't understud..)

BHH

[Havokdan]

When I open a video, and leave the "output" empty, the filename final gets of hdfullconvert_xxxxxxxxxx.avi, and wanted to know if you can get only xxxxxxx.avi

I use google translator. Sorry for bad english

[buzzqw]

i add hdconverttox_xxxxxxx because users could reencode the file to the same container. like test.avi to test.avi

and this can't be possible

you should name your output file, or take the hdconverttox prefix

BHH

[Havokdan]

I know, I referred to cases that were, for example mkv> avi, another conversion between various containers, keeping the prefix where you use the same containter or output was in a different folder than the original. Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

BHH

But do you have any idea what this message "This subtitle conversion is not supported." means? Is it related to codepage of subtitles or their format or?

EDIT: Ok, forget my questions. I have searched through eac3to forum and found the answer. VobSub format of subtitles is not supported. Probably they should be in SRT or some other format.

[toology]

Hey buzz,

I recently switched to Windows 7 RC and when I try to convert a single Vob file via HDC I get the please check meda properties error. I installed K Lite Codec Pack 32 and 64 and used the tool you linked to set everything to ffdshow.

I tried to encode a video with HDC embedding the sub to the video. But the first few minutes of the subtitle is flickering. Any fix to that?
