HDConvertToX v. 3.0 (14/10/2010)

welcome to my lastest application: HDConvertToX

HDConvertToX (HDC in short) is a gui aimed for converting video files (vob/mkv/avi/m2ts/ts...) with XviD or DivX or X264 or WMV codec, and muxed in AVI/MKV/MP4/WMV/M2TS container.
Is also supported muxing in AVCHD and BluRay structure

it also offer a wide range of audio and subtitle management

here some screenshot

How to convert Blurays with HDConvertToX http://www.adubvideo.net/how-to/how-...h-hdconverttox , a great guide by Adub!

Required Software

ffdshow tryout - > http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffds...7.exe/download or here for latest one
haali media splitter -> http://haali.su/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe
AviSynth -> http://downloads.sourceforge.net/avi..._mirror=heanet
XviD -> http://www.koepi.info/Xvid-1.2.2-07062009.exe
also make sure you allow Haali Media Splitter to handle Mpeg/PS file during installation (you can always reinstall Haali Media Splitter)
and, in FFDShow, allow mpeg2 AND DVD Support as decoding

Note for Windows Vista/Windows7 Users
make sure you check compatibility mode for AVIMux-Gui.
Right click on AVIMux-Gui in \applications and on compatibility mode set it to Windows Xp SP2

Note for Windows 7 Users

For Neuron2 DG NVTools
HDC fully support great NVTools by Neuron2. NVtools allow GPU decoding of streams (and not only).
Read the file in \applications\dgdecnv folder
Please check Neuron2 site -> http://neuron2.net/
Also please NVTools on Doom9 -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141104 and for latest beta -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=147945

WMV Encoding
If you wish to encode in Windows Media formats you will need several software additions.
* The Windows Media Encoder 9 Series, which can be downloaded here.
* Windows Media Player 11, which you can download here for WinXP.
* If you are unable to install Windows Media Player 11, you can install the WMFdist11, which includes all the needed files. There is a mirror here.
* Vista User: must disable DEP. Look here.
For 5.1 Audio look here. You can use FFDShow or AC3Filter
It is recommended you install wmvencoder (series 9) before you install Windows Media Player 11.

Some errors
Script error: Invalid arguments to function "is RGB" : make sure in ffdshow you have allowed the decoding of all supported file (xvid, mpeg,divx, h264/avc...)

DirectShow not talking to me..."
your directshow configuration isn't optimal. Don't worry, here is a hint:
download BD_Rebuilder (it's freeware and a very good piece of software!, it really deserve your donation!!), launch BD_Rebuilder.exe
if it complain about wrong decoder configuration, say YES to adjust it.
It will reset and fix your directshow mess.

Post the Make Report!
Got a problem ? I want to help, BUT you must help me.
Please post the Make Report, so i will know all settings used.
Load your file, setup your encode as you want and click the Add to Queue button
Then click the Make Report button just down the Generate Encode!
Post the file generated

How come x264 is not in the list of available codecs? There is also no NeroAAC support.

Oh BTW, does this GUI support MT avisynth?

There is no way to just encode one file like in AutoMKV (like you must press add to quene and press start quene)?

Also, what's the deal with the changelog (v3.13)?

Buzzqw, just one question. Why the sudden change? AutoMKV was a fantastic piece of software that you've supported for years. Why start all over again, and fix the numerous bugs that are typical in an early stage of a software? If it is the need of a changable x264 settings menu, it could have just been an extra "advanced x264 settings" tab in AutoMKV.

That does seem to be a bug, as he included x264.exe in the applications folder.

Another is that .avi doesn't seem to be on the accepted files list. And it muxes my avi to mkv as soon as I select it! Is this the desired behavior?

1) load the file
2) hit "Analyze file"
3) set target size/codecs
4) hit start

don't understud your problem

Got more experience on programming and encoding.. so i hope to build better programs

any feedback is appreciated

BHH

P.S. any interest of asking for external subs when input is avs/d2v/dga ?

P.S.S for MT support i need an example of script for studing. Would be a lot better if based on avisynth script already build by hdencodertoX

i can do this:

if mt.dll is present in system folder i will add to script

Setmemorymax(512) # or more ???
SetMTMode(2, 0) # 2 or 0 ???

it's ok ?

EDIT : MT support added (as explained before)
also added the possibility to personalize the encoding profiles.

Now is missing only IFO/SUBS support for replacing automkv

Can you add a final size option?
For example, some user want to reencode some MKV to MKV. He will load the MKV, (set the resolution), set the final size and press start. He don't want to demux the streams and make some calculations (video, audio, overhead).
Some things that maybe can be added/fixed:
- preview not working for some MKV file tested
- remember last directory
- set the working directory
- fix the x264 enocoder settings (now is not available, is XViD instead of X264), but I think the default made by you are OK.
- set another default settings like: SAP unchecked, no filters to be loaded, copy audio
- delete the temporary files after closing the program.
- Also at the subtitles tab you can add an option to load some external srt subtitle.

If MKV conversion is possible, I think you can add another option called "NMT Compatibility", or other name for people with Popcorn, etc. This compatibility is needed at least for the bframes settings.

enjoy,
Mtz

Tests are on a 5 minutes sample.

When pressing "Preview" MPC is opening and the message is: "File not found". I have the latest working ffdshow.

Still XviD settings.
Quote:

If SAP checked the user will not see the X264+MKV. You can start the defults with SAP settings and XViD+AVI, but not to be checked that option. Maybe some users don't want to normalize because they want just to copy the audio. It remain checked (which is good for AC3>MP3) even if checked the audio to copy. ColorMatrix is checked by default. Maybe some don't want this or to denoise.
Quote:

I'm not good at these settings, but I think they are included in RipBot or Megui. Not all stuff because is too much, just the NMT, PS3, Blu-Ray compatiblity. Maybe your values are already good, I don't know well.
Quote:

Maybe you'll have some idea how to do this. RipBot can do because first is demuxing the audio, Megui also because it needs the audio demuxed. I don't know if any info software can give the size of audio just after analyzing, but IIRC some version of Gspot show the size of audio. Maybe another program can show it also for other containers than avi. I see the size only at video settings.

At the Set Resolution cursor maybe you can add these values written under the cursor: 1920, 1280, 720.

enjoy,
Mtz

sorry pal, unable to replicate

please explain step by step what are you doing
also post the queue (just add encoding to queue)

Quote:

normalizing is a defaul behavior of all encoding programs,

anyway if you copy audio normalize is ignored

Quote:

colormatrix is always to use AND if not needed colormatrix will not applied itself
also, the default denoise level is very light. If user is concerned about denoising , can always change it

Quote:

i'll check

... don't know about this

plase report your problem about xvid and preview!

Ok, step by step:
- starting the program
- uncheck the SAP option
- X264+MKV
- Basic video settins > is showing the XviD settings. The encoding is done with X264
- load mkv file
- analyze. OK
- set resolution
- back to video settings. still xvid.
Screenshot:

XviD settings after selecting X264+MKV. Also I wrote the 1920, 1280, 720 values, because I think these are the most used.
