D2V Witch: cross-platform D2V creator

[AzraelNewtype]

I may not have tested that very thoroughly since I had to start demuxing audio via tsmuxer instead of dgi for a couple reasons (not least of which being that d2vsource is slower than l-smash source). There definitely isn't anything in the script to override that value though.

[Selur]

both:

"G:\Hybrid\vsfilters\SourceFilter\d2vSource\d2vwitch.exe" --output "H:\Temp\552bf3799f50de80782be5bd932be83e_491.d2v" "F:\TESTCL~1\DVDs\ELEPHA~1\VIDEO_TS"

and

"G:\Hybrid\vsfilters\SourceFilter\d2vSource\d2vwitch.exe" --output "H:\Temp\552bf3799f50de80782be5bd932be83e_491.d2v" "F:\TestClips&Co\DVDs\ElephantsDream\VIDEO_TS"

give me

Failed to open input file 'F:\TestClips&Co\DVDs\ElephantsDream\VIDEO_TS': fopen() failed: Permission denied

Using Vapoursynth 64bit R37 and d2vwitch v2. (same happens with v1)
Also starting the d2vwitch gui and pressing the 'Browse' or 'Add files' button causes a freeze here. Am I missing something? (d2vwitch.exe is alone in a folder, no other files there)
This didn't happen last time I used d2vwitch, but I got no clue what could have changed. (aside from me updating Vapoursynth)
disabling firewall and malwarebytes didn't help either,...

"VIDEO_TS" sounds like a folder. You're supposed to pass the relevant VOB files. D2V Witch currently doesn't guess what files you want to open. It only opens those you pass explicitly, in the order you pass them. (This has always been the case.)

I don't know what the freeze is about. It freezes when you browse to that folder, not when you select the files and click "Open" or whatever, right?

[Selur]

It freezes directly when I press the 'Browse' or 'Add files' button. I don't get any file dialog.

Ahhh,... that was the problem. Thanks.

Does this one work?

[Selur]

Yes, both 'Add files' and 'Browse' now open without crashing.

[jackoneill]

A test version that might become v3:
http://savedonthe.net/download/1834/...264-win32.html
http://savedonthe.net/download/1835/...264-win64.html

The main attraction is H264 support in transport streams and elementary streams.

Test it, maybe, and let me know how it goes.

If you want to compile it:
https://github.com/dubhater/D2VWitch/tree/h264
https://github.com/dubhater/d2vsource

Is there any gain in using this instead over LSMASHSource or FFMS2, or is it 'just' an alternative?
(alternatives are always good , btw. would be nice if mpls files would also be supported )

Neither lsmash nor ffms2 are frame accurate for interlaced h264.

Test it, maybe, and let me know how it goes.

This is the output of the test script from your signature:

Clip has 55828 frames.
Hashing: 99%
Clip hashed.

Requested frame 1, got new frame with hash 92bec1c50ed47b951b3c61c1a07845aa.

Test complete.

Worked very well on my test file except for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th frame. Maybe a broken file, I don't know. Those frames look alright in the preview, though.
It's an interlaced h264 transport stream. Both lsmash and ffms2 are completely broken on that one.

[Selur]

Got a sample d2vwitch.h264 which the filter can't handle.
Works fine when using LWLibavSource, ffms2 fails on this source too.
Found another one I also uploaded (Trailer 3D_MVC).

No mpls for you.

[Selur]

Had to ask.
May be an option to load multiple files? That would also help with DVD handling; I normally know the vobs/m2ts files, which belong to a specific playlist, and their order and it would help if they could be all indexed and opened in one go.

You can do that with DVDs since v1. Technically you can do it with blurays too, but I just tried and random access doesn't work right. You get the wrong frames.

[Selur]

Lol, you are right about the DVD thing, I even used that a few times and totally forgot about it. Problem with m2ts files is that in a playlist the numbering doesn't have to follow a specific order so autoloading based on the file name would be a bad thing.

Good thing there is no autoloading, then!

New d2vsource decodes 9 and 10 bit h264 too (that d2vwitch.h264 mentioned above). New D2V Witch has two very small fixes. Git history was edited, sorry.

[Selur]

Thanks! I can confirm that d2vwitch.h264 can now be decoded without a problem.

$ ffplay /tmp/Trailer\ 3D_MVC.mts
<stuff>
[h264 @ 0x7fa370089a40] sps_id 1 out of range
Failed to open file '/tmp/Trailer 3D_MVC.mts' or configure filtergraph

Maybe I need a newer ffmpeg (I have 3.2.2), but I don't feel like updating right now.

ffmpeg 3.3 doesn't decode it either.

Plays fine with Windows Media Player (filters installed), MPC-HC, MPlayer, but it seems like ffmpeg (ffms2 and LSmashSource) can't handle the file. (DGDecNV and DGDecIM can)

ffmpeg from git snapshot works.

Sweat! Works fine! Thanks!
