Can we get a timeout added so if no user input a choice is automatically selected? That way the rest of the job is not held up by the question of whether to add gain or not on audio.

I realize this is probably someone else's project doing this and not AutoMKV itself.
@nx6
I realise that your request is more to do with the automatic timeout response than whether a +2 gain would in fact cause clipping.

@buzzqw (all)
I've been using BeSweet (BeLight GUI) which does a 2-pass strategy to test for optimal audio boost first and then to implement the change on the 2nd pass.
I've had a gain of +14 and more and I'm sure that only rarely will a +2 gain actually cause any clipping but perhaps we could have the option for a complete and thorough 2-pass quality audio-boost... for those who prefer the 'perfect solution' and/or have time on their side.

In most cases a proper amplitude audio boost will do more to enhance the illusion of quality than any subwoofer, sub-50Hz, frequency support.

isn't possible to do a two pass with command line encoder like neroaac /ogg/lame....

FIXED: AACgain doesn't work proprely on AAC/MP4 done by Coding Tech. AAC, apply an AmplifydB(7) to audio script
FIXED: Some bugs on AVS input (thanks to dlflannery)

@dlflannery
use avs like this for video

Code:
LoadPlugin("DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("movie.d2v")
well you can add even more plugins and filters

for audio
Code:
LoadPlugin("NicAudio.dll")
NicAC3Source("audio.ac3")
it is ok for both x264 and avi, remember that all those avs must be played ok on mediaplayer classic

BHH
Don't the example AVS you give apply to an mpeg2 source only? Here are the AVS I am using:

Video:
Code:
directShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi", audio = false) +
\ directShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi", audio = false)
Audio:
Code:
DirectShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi", video = false).resampleAudio(44100) +
\ DirectShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi", video = false).resampleAudio(44100)
getchannel(1,1)
These files play OK in mediaplayer classic.

These do not work for AVI/DIVX target. I have to shut AutoMKV down -- I think the audio processing is in an infinite loop. They DO work for MP4/X264 target.

These two .avi files total about 110M. I am willing to upload them to a site where you could download them (please suggest site) if you want to test with them.

Actually I have two other files with exactly the same characteristics (nickPlane4 and nickPlane5) and they total only about 30 MB. And you would get to see what the "cranky old newbie" looks like -- if you can stand that!

It has always failed the with it's first attempt, but has never failed on its second attempt on versions prior to this.

This sounds ugly. It sounds like AutoMKV should be reading it's default settings from an ini file (or the registry) instead of having defaults in the application code itself. This would then cause everyone to have a default profile, and give you a place to save settings.

Quote:
on start encoding only the last queue will start, on start queue all queue wainting will start.
Sounds... odd. I'm not sure who sets up a queue and then doesn't use it.

Quote:
i will consider.. but is a very low priority
Quote:
for most control with "dangerous confict" is already done, if you spot something that MUST be disabled or will give a bad encoding, feel free to post
ok :/

The idea behind disabling the controls would be to decrease the possibility of user error, by giving people fewer options to choose from, or to be confused by.

Quote:
Sorry pal , but changing status AFTER and WHILE the encoding is started IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. Automkv will check parameters (audio codec,audio bitrate, resizers...) only at time when it need this information. Better, automkc will not save all parameter when you it start encoding, but will read dinamically while encoding
An end-user should not be able to do something that dangerous. If the settings were saved to an ini file, or registry, when the "Start Encode" or "Start Queue" button was hit, and then AutoMKV referenced that, it would take away any possible user-caused issues.

Buzzqw, once again I just want to say thank you for this application and the hard work you do with it. I've yet to come across a developer as helpful as yourself, and I hope you don't take these ideas I have as criticisms, I'm just thinking out loud of ways to help make this more accessable to a larger audience, and to decrease the amount of support you have to provide.

Thanks again Buzzqw.

Hi, I've been trying to find a working app to convert video to wmv for my PPC that will work with Vista and such my search has led me here. Now on to the matter at at hand...
I'm trying to convert a xvid avi to wmv. as soon as i click "start encoding" i get the error !!! BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED !!! Upon clicking OK, the program immediately crashes/closes (not sure if thats intended behavior upon error encounter).

It might be the braces {} in the file name. I would remove them and try again.

It's funny you're mentioning that series. I haven't seen the {C_P} files but if they look like the [Dattebayo] fansubs I think the quality is very good considering file size. I'm actually trying to use AutoMKV to duplicate the quality of those encodes with my own anime on DVD. So far I have been unable to easily. They must have some really customized encoding profiles at work.

PPC? So you're using a Mac? If you're using OSX, you can get VLC Media Player for it, too and just play the original files.

Yeah, I'm not worried about the audio clip, I just don't want to have to answer the question before it continues. If I hadn't come back to my PC it would have sat there for hours before I'd seen it. Can a command line switch be added by AutoMKV to "answer the question before it asks it"?

@dlflannery

i have replicated the error... but i don't know how to fix... seems a problem between soundout / directshowsource and the launch of those batch

i must search some other solution

@Shark_jlc
automkv would be a "green application" so no registry and no configuration flying around

Quote:
Sounds... odd. I'm not sure who sets up a queue and then doesn't use it.
... i use it... but i suppose that could generate confusion...
i will look ! thanks
and thanks for all criticism or not to be criticism!
i like to confront with other users, thanks!!!

@schizosmurf
not only could be {} but also: are you able to play the file with mediaplayer classic / virtualdub ?

And I suppose there's a good reason why the BeSweet audio encoder by DSPguru couldn't be included as an option... ???

My Com Sci Proffessor would often say that 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'... and the 2-pass encoder by BeSweet smacks of pure sunshine...

in this way automkv will use this EDITED profile

about coding tech is better to use Nero (support 5.1ch!)

mini how-to
load the input file
select audio/container/codec/resize/width....
change the profile to crf
answer Go Unlimited
on advanced profile editing change bitratequantitizer from 18 to 20
check use this profile
click start

BHH
So what exacly does the CRF field do on the Advanced Settings Tab if it does not change the crf value of the encode? It seems to me that if I go over and put 20 into that field and then come back to the main tab and press encode it should encode with a crf of 20.

@weaver4

are you reffering to "Use CRF for Autoresize Routines" ?
if so this value is used only when doing autoresize, and usually with CRF profile the autoresize isn't needed

the exact what of editing the crf value was already exposed

BHH

EDIT: @delacroixp
besweet doens't work with avisynth, doesn't work with any file where is needed directshow , are you able to extract audio from an mkv with besweet ?

I like this idea of having a default profile as well, as a file in the AutoMKV folder. I rather not have the program use the registry for a variety of reasons.

I am having a strange problem. My computer says I am out of resources whenever the avs file starts processing. The log file shows over and over again this entry as it trys to start wsscript It eventually runs out of system resouces and crashes my computer.

This appears to be related to the fix you did for 0.78b

BHH
Do you mean you want a command line for ffmpeg for audio-only encoding with AVS input? I think I have the answer for that. Of course the ffmpeg build must have the avisynth option activated but most recent builds have that.

1. Define an AVS file with both video and audio in it. (ffmpeg will crash if you feed it an AVS with only audio in it.)

2. Here is an example command line that works -- tested on ffmpeg builds 7760 and 8047:
Code:
"C:\ffmpeg.exe" -i "C:\audio+video.avs"  -vn -acodec mp3 -ab 128 -ac 2 -mbd 2 -async 1 -y "C:\audioOut.mp3"
It appears ffmpeg will process only the audio, but it will crash unless it can analyze both video and audio in the AVS file.

Edit after further testing:
You can synthesize the video for the video+audio AVS as follows:
Code:
# Source the audio clip as appropriate (this is just an example):
audio=directShowSource("inputFile",video = false);
# Following code synthesizes a blank video to match the audio so
# ffmpeg will not crash:
dur=audioLength(audio) / audioRate(audio)
video=blankClip(dur*20,320,240, "YUY2",20)
audioDub(video,audio)
This will work if inputFile is a video (with audio of course) or just an audio file, as long as it can be sourced in AVS.

So when we are using CRF we don't have to define a resize?

Whenever I chose the CRF profile, the width would change to 720, so I was resetting it to AUTO or the actual width if I knew it offhand.
