Nero Recode 3 (Nero 8.2) released
Today finally Nero 8.2.3.0 was released that includes Nero Recode 3.0.3.0 with quite a few changes/improvements/bug fixes, so I think this deserves a new thread. It can be downloaded as of this moment at the official Nero web site.
Installation process improved: I did not have to uninstall previous version; Nero features selected previously were autodetected and selected by default in custom install (don't have to uncheck a bunch that are not needed) After a quick look, some new options for Nero Digital AVC encoder: AVC Interface rearranged quite a bit (subjective impression - for the better) Tips to show what each option does Lanczos resize Color correction / denoise plugins (may be great for old grainy video; may be possible to add custom plugins?) Option to preserve AC3 audio; supports DTS (?) Interlaced encoding Adaptive motion compensation 8x8 Transform (previously only available in HDTV AVC profile) Encoding speed seems slightly improved Encoding speed counter (frames/sec) seems more in touch with reality (but too jumpy, some smoothing should be done) By default, old AVC profiles are gone, but can be restored in More/Options/Nero Digital. Now we just need to learn how to use all the new features optimally. Cheers. |

Houston, we've got a problem...
Quote:
input : a simple avs script like this: Code:
Source=ImageSource("D:\Tor_\ED\%05d.png", start=1934, end=2059, fps=23.976) Source=LanczosResize(Source, 640, 336) Source=ConvertToYV12(source, matrix="Rec709") return source the script plays fine in graphedit (not using nero filters) and in any dshow players. what's wrong ? edit: Here is a workaround to solve this problem.

Hmmmm.....
a) Why has the default audio encoding been changed to AAC-LC for Nero Digital AVC? b) The Sony PS3 AVC profile doesn't make any difference - i can play Nero Digital AVC (Standard) old/new with HE-AAC if run on the PS3 locally. Same goes for the new PS3 AVC profile - i can not however stream either of the profiles to the PS3 without stop and starts - PS3 sees Nero Digital AAC-LC audio albums with chapter and icons through NeroMedia with no problems. - PS3 sees Nero Digital AVC or PS3 AVC video with "*" which i understand means not fully recognised Good points are: - a) seems to encode (even with "Best" setting) slightly quicker b) files seem to be smaller for the same file. Why? |

Is anybody able to generate and upload a short test sample with AVC video and AC3 audio in .MP4?
Cheers

why?
using a sample video encoded with Nero Digital AVC quality set to 1.56Mbs produce almost half the size when the "encoding precision" setting is set to "best" as compared to "good". I would have thought it would be the other way round? |

Out of interest.... Does Recode3 only allow you to generate encodes with AVC video and AC3 audio in .MP4, or can you generate encodes with ASP video and AC3 audio in .MP4? By-the-way: All my "media info" stream detection tools report the AC3 stream as being "sac3"!

This is probably why there is no audio in media player classic. ffdshow does not recognise that code (I guess).

just a warning to everyone: ac3-in-mp4 is not mpeg-4 compliant and will never be played in any pure mpeg-4 player

Thanks again...
When the possibilty of adding AC3 audio to the .MP4 container was being discussed with JohnV (Nero AG Engineer), I was not expecting the combination of ASP with AC3 in .MP4 to be included. Cheers

Frankenstein lives again.
ac3 is mp4 is a monstruosity. i hope it will remain a Nero private thing only and i hope it dies soon enough to not let any SAP support that abomination.

Sorry to be the barer of bad news... but it's coming. In some respects the Blu-ray and HD-DVD forums are partly to blame for this monstrosity by not including AAC audio in their specifications. If they had, surround sound amplifier manufacturers might have included support for AAC audio decoding, as well as the new spec AC3 and DTS audio formats

Excuse the ignorances but....
I thought AVC+AC3 = AVCHD? Second, at worst, can you just demux that and remux into MKV? Is there a constant quality setting yet? For Recoding DVD's that are TV series - does it automatically make the files etc or just try to make one large movie? Finally, does recode LOOK FOR its own filters first or use direct show? For example, it is a pain in teh ass having Hallia installed adn decoding TS/TRP since it would "break" recode unless you disabled TS (Transport support) so that the Nero Demuxer had "priority". This is something JohnV thought would be fixed. Does the demo of REocde 3 work ( I am registered 7.0). I am kinda reluctant to buy it site unscene. |

Indeed... but it's not muxed into the .MP4 container.
