Hybrid: Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Ajvar]

This is just an idea. The default MaxGOP size = 10 x Output FPS. Default now is 250 which is about 10 seconds for 25fps video or tiny more for 24fps. But for 30 fps 10 seconds scene change would be 300 frames, right?

Yes, that is what most encoders use.

But for 30 fps 10 seconds scene change would be 300 frames, right?

Max GOP doesn't mean there is a scene change. Max GOP size is more like: If there hasn't been a key frame because of a scene change for X frames, force a key frame to ensure better navigation inside the clip. If you don't care much about navigation inside your content using larger GOP sizes and/or OpenGOP will probably yield better compressibility.

Hybrid rev 2014.12.23.1:

*added*

• input: added option to automatically run interlace analysis on 29./59./119. fps content which isn't detected as telecined (on by default)
• vpxenc: support constant quantizer mode

*fixed*

• avisynth: dvd input using DGIndex&DGIndexNV
• cosmetics: crashed jobs weren't shown as CRASHED, they simply stayed in their previous mode
• audio: crash when mplayer + sox + audio encoder were used at the same time (only happend when 'Config->Input->Decoding->Raw with MPlayer' was enabled)
• avisynth: add 'wine' before avs2yuv calls on non-Windows systems

*changed*

• cosmetics: showing a countdown during shutdown&hibernation notification and set 'always on top'
• qsvenc: adjusted to QSVEncC 1.27 (Windows only)
• x264: rev 2525+ now supports --aq-mode 3 (auto-variance AQ with bias to dark scenes); not on Mac atm. due to lack of up-do-date x264
• x265: splitting noise reduction into intra&inter noise reduction
• input: audio now always gets extracted on DVD input before processing to avoid unwanted peep sounds on some systems
• output: change current output path if default output path gets changed and generate output name is enabled

Hybrid rev 2015.01.04.1:

*fixed*

• cosmetics: progress indication when extracting streams with mplayer
• demux: hevc remuxing
• demux: mpeg-2 demuxing with mplayer
• x264: typo --psnr vs. --psrn
• x265: 'minimize command line' did remove '--psnr'
• x265: after 2pass delete .stats.cutree temp file
• x265: fix 'unknown version'-info of the attached binary (Windows only), Thanks to jb_alvarado

Hybrid rev 2015.01.07.1:
*fixed*

• audio: temp file removal
• input: bug reading the mkvtoolnix version which caused problems handling mkv files properly
• input: ignore pulldown flag for files which are 23.9.. fps (since they are normally soft telecined)
• subs: ignore empty subtitle entries during srt/ass->ttxt conversion
• trans: 'None' wasn't always translated properly
• tags: multi input audio-tag handling

*added*

• mux: use ffmbc instead of ffmpeg for .mov muxing if it's present
  If other features of ffmbc should be added to Hybrid, please post in the forum. Windows and Mac packages now contain ffmbc. Thanks to houdini for compiling the Mac version!
• x265: support for the range extension profiles (Warning: These are not finalized!)

Thank you Selur,
working great!!

Hybrid rev 2015.01.19.1:

*fixed*

• audio: aac audio encoder delay handling
• audio: mono to strereo upmix handling
• mux: negative audio delay got ignored for vfr video content when muxing to mp4
• avisynth: MAA2 call
• input: auto loading audio file(s)
• input: avi(raw rgb video) handling
• input: workaround for 1st chapter infos messed up by MakeMKV
• ui: crash when disabling 'Blu-ray'-Input after Blu-ray was loaded.
• subs: crash during job creation, when sup2idx was enabled

*added*

• avisynth: benchmarking through AVSMeter
• avisynth: Denoiser->NLMeansCL2
• avisynth: Color->AutoAdjust

*changed*

• tools: reverted to MediaInfo 0.7.66 due to http://sourceforge.net/p/mediainfo/bugs/860/ (forgot about the bug, which is why I accidentally updated MediaInfo, sadly it seems like the bug isn't that important since I got no feedback from the developer of MediaInfo so far) (Mac only)

Reuploaded a 'Hybrid rev 2015.01.19.1' installer for Windows with older mplayer/mencoder versions since there was a problem with the current mplayer/mencoder versions (they caused C++ Runtime errors).

Hi Selur,
is there a way to specify a new length for an audio file (for example from 1:00:04 to 1:02:07), instead of changing its framerate ?

[Selur]

Not atm. (btw. it's not changing a frame rate it's giving a fraction, the frame rates are just there since most people know the want to stretch from-to a frame rate)

[Music Fan]

Ok. Thus actually one could specify a fraction that would work as a percentage calculated from the original and destination durations ? If the new duration represents 2,34 % over the original, one could put 10234 and 10000 (or something like that) in boxes from and to beside speed change, right ?

[Gravitator]

Всем привет!
What guantizer in x265? And is there any benefit (difference) from the increase in the min/max values of 10-51 and 0-69?

Yes.

for x264: only if there is a chance that your encoding will actually use one of those otherwise left out quantizers.
for x265: how do you plan to do that? (afaik there is no option to change the min/max quantizer)

[Gravitator]

Add a button to cancel scanning for "Auto crop" mode.
I can not reduce the value of "Curve compression" to zero (min threshold 50 at x265).
Click "Remove all" during encoding, this leads to the purification of the list and stop encoding, but the progress bar does not clear from the information (green stripe and percentages hang).

I mean as an optional extra, I don't ask you to remove the change by fps of course.

Configure 'Auto Crop' through 'Crop/Resize->Advanced Auto Crop Options' to analyze less/other frames instead.

I know. Got it on my 'misc/cleanup'-list.

Will look into it during the weekend.

Curve compression?
