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

Hybrid is a Windows Qt based frontend for a bunch of other tools which can nearly open every input to x264/x265/.. + ac3/ogg/mp3/aac/flac inside a avi/mp4/m2ts/mkv/webm container, a BluRay or an AVCHD structure.

Here's a general feature list:
  • Extensive ability to configure x264s setting (with dependency checks)
  • ability to use x265
  • tagging support for mkv/mp4
  • chapter support for mkv/mp4/BluRay
  • subtitle suppot for mkv/mp4/BluRay
  • audio/video Profile-support
  • an integrated bitrate calculator
  • accepts vc-1 and avc raw input
  • a DTS Extension bitrate calculation for dts-hd audio inside a .m2ts file
  • manual&automatic creation&passthrough of chapters
  • ability to encode single tile/chapters
  • a job-control
  • aac/mp3/ac3/ogg audio encoding with neroAacEnc/mencoder/ffmpeg
  • filtering through mencoder (+ some resize automation)
  • acceptable Input: avs and everything that mplayer/ffmpeg can decode
  • possible output x264 + ac3/ogg/mp3/aac x264 + ac3/ogg/mp3/aac inside a mp4/m2ts/mkv container, a BluRay or a AVCHD
  • audio&video passthrough, which allows it to use Hybrid as a muxing tool
  • stuff I forgot to mention
Sourcecode:
Atm. there's no specific plan when and if I release the source code. (If/When I stop developing Hybrid I will probably release the code under lgpl.)


Licence:
Hybrid is free for personal usage.
(Licence restrictions of the tools used are inside the windows package)
-> see licence

- x264s '--refresh-intra' option

Thanks for the hard work on this, amazing app!

I have a bug where Hybrid crashes when I drag multiple files to the input. It looks as if this happens because I choose "custom add all" in the audio option. Im also on windows 7 64bit. Could you verify this?

After some quick tests I've done on Windows XP only (I'll try on Debian Lenny later):

I'm getting this error message at the program launch:
Quote:
Error
mediumValue value "BD/DVD 5/9" is not present in current list

Video is always reported like this:
Code:
Video information:
Format: AC-3
Bitrate: 640

For x264 I couldn't find the option for --no-dct-decimate so I had to use the command line addition box. Not a big deal but a switch, a box, would be usefull.


Downmixing an AC-3 5.1 audio source to AAC stereo using Nero didn't work. The result is a (working) AAC 5.1 as if the stereo downmix request has been ignored.


After muxing to MP4 MediaInfo reports this information:
Code:
Format profile                   : JVT
However I've not used the JVT matrix neither any other custom matrix.

will take a look at it a bit later, working on a linux bug atm.

if you got this on the first start: Reset the Defaults

What is the input?

Quote:
Imortant infor needed to fix&repoduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix.
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a hopefully fixed version for testing via pm.

I've actually tried with two different source files, one is a BD backup with a VC1 video stream and AC-3 5.1 audio muxed in MKV and the other one is the original M2TS from the BD with H264 video and AC-3 5.1 audio.
Here is a split of the VC1 in MKV:

1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
Hybrid Win32 package 100226 with the lastest up to date EXE from Hybrid_100227_2.zip running on Windows XP 32 bits.

It reads it correctly now Thanks.

It still throws an error when trying to run a f4v file though it. If I rename it to mp4 its fine.

Here's a small sample:

Edit:
Whats the deal with no subme 10? Even with trellis 2 I can't access it.

Code:
void X264InternalLogicService::adjustSubMe(X264Model *model)
{
    bool cabac = model->stringValue("entropyCoding") == QObject::tr("CABAC");
    bool trellis = model->stringValue("trellisQuantization") == QObject::tr("always");
    bool adaptiveQuant = model->stringValue("adaptiveQuantization") != QObject::tr("disabled");
    bool qcomp = model->doubleValue("curveCompression") != 1;
    QStringList values;
    values << QObject::tr("0: fullpel motion estimation only");
    values << QObject::tr("1: sad + 1pass quarterpixel");
    values << QObject::tr("2: satd + 2pass quarterpixel");
    values << QObject::tr("3: halfpixel + 2pass quarterpixel");
    values << QObject::tr("4: always quarterpixel");
    values << QObject::tr("5: quarterpixel + bidirectional motion estimation");
    values << QObject::tr("6: rate distortion optimization on I-/P-frames");
    values << QObject::tr("7: rate distortion optimization on all Frames");
    values << QObject::tr("8: rate refinement on I-/P-frames");
    values << QObject::tr("9: rate refinement on all frames");
    if (cabac && trellis && adaptiveQuant && qcomp) {
        values << QObject::tr("10: trellis based rate refinement on all frames");
    }
    this->doSet(model, "subPixelPrecision", "elements", values);
}
-> qcomp need to be != 1, trellis, adaptiveQuantization and cabac need to be enabled (you probably didn't enable adaptive quantization)

What OS do you use? (I might have to make a list to not have to ask everybody every time.
Think I fixed the f4v problem.

- When trying to downmix an AC-3 5.1 audio source to AAC stereo using Nero it now hangs and nothing happens. Job is stuck to 0% and even if you Stop / Reset / Remove all jobs than won't stop SoX and NeroAacEnc from running and the only solution is to exit Hybrid.

is qcomp at 1 a typo or something lol? That's pretty high I thought.

I put it at qcomp to 1.0 and subme 10 is now available, odd, when did that change happen to x264?

I run win7 32 bit.
