Avidemux (with emphasis on x264/h264 GUI)

[SadaraX]

Hello. This thread is simply to collect user input for Avidemux about which GUI options for encoding in x264 should be given priority and appear first.

Here's a quote from the avidemux dev team on the issue:

I would need to know, among the zillions of available parameters, which are interesting to expose through a user interface. So if you play with x264 and know what may be of interest please share your knowledge.

Of course, the less options, the better for the lazy people who do the UI in GTK

Please post your preferences and wants for the GUI encoding options here, or at the avidemux forums. I suspect and hope that all options will eventually appear someday.

-MeGUI compatible profiles.

[Sirber]

-MeGUI compatible profiles.Why? Use MeGUI if you want megui profiles pff

@SadaraX

Best make presets isntead of showing every settings.

[asdfsauce]

Why? Use MeGUI if you want megui profiles pff


Can you use MeGUI in Linux?

My reasons:
-I have a bunch of custom profiles I don't wish to rewrite.
-Sharktoothe's profiles are very useful, especially to the uninitiated.
-Why not have compatibility?

[Sirber]

Can you use MeGUI in Linux?Yes, with wine :)

[garbii]

Well I'm curently using mencoder for my encodes ...

However I had a look on avidemux and it seemed promising ... Aspecialy I like that when I pressed 2 pass I had a option to specify the size of targed file encode ..... Great option that would allow me to have all my anime eps in 50mb .... Unfortunatly this option didn't work as 2 pass did not work in avidemux untill now ???

what I would like to see is :

bitrate bframes are a must :) .... as for the rest well under mencoder I also use frameref, keyint, weight_b, subq ....


There is also a nice "turbo=1" for 2 pass ... this option quickens 1pass ...

I do agree with Sirber that it's good to make some presets
Like Quality: High, medium, low ... It's just to somehow control the qualiy to encode time ....

However more advanced options should also be present , just becouse avidemux is mainly linux software and linux users like to have advanced options ...

[EDIT]
...................
Ummm It's a bit offtopic , but it would be nice if avidemux could handle rmvb input ... Mencoder can do it and it would be nice if avidemux could do it to :)

[asdfsauce]

Yes, with wine :)

Wine supports .net?

Edit: So Mono is the new name for Wine these days? I suggest you put a little more thought into the accuracy and meaningfulness of your posts before hitting the submit button next time.

Sorry for the OT pollution everyone.

too OT, I'm outa here :)

[berrinam]

Why? Use MeGUI if you want megui profiles pffSo every developer deliberately uses their own type of profiles in order to lock people out of using any of their competitors? It may happen like that in the commercial world, but with OSS, there should at least be some attempt at co-operating. Otherwise, everyone has to 'reinvent the wheel'.

Sharktooth has done and continues to do good work with his MeGUI profiles. To use them in any program other than MeGUI, someone has to set up all of the profiles in their specific program and also manage distributions of them. It's a lot of work for someone to do, EACH time Sharktooth makes a revision, and for what reason?

Compatibility is a good thing, because it means that knowledge / work can be shared. Isn't that what OSS is about?

Hello. This thread is simply to collect user input for Avidemux about which GUI options for encoding in x264 should be given priority and appear first.- cabac
- loop (+ parameters!)
- number of reference frames
- weigthed biprediction
- subme
- cqmfile
- 8x8dct
- all the partitions

note that b-pyramid would need special handling in the avidemux mp4 writer regarding ctts (as it uses extra funky frame reordering)

ehrr... i'd say, look at megui... :)

[foxyshadis]

Maybe it'd be a lot easier to just copy the gui code from x264vfw? Than you have the bonus of an already nicely designed form and (depending on how much you have to modify) debugged form actions. It's not entirely complete, but it's a solid starting point.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

One question: how to save output file in AviDemux 2.1.2 to MP4 container?

[bond]

2.1.2 doesnt support mp4 output

[shon3i]

and who vesion support and link please. Thanks

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Shon3i, you mean "which version support it, and link, please." Watch carefully on the grammar.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Looks VERY promising :)
Can we expect an updated version of AviDemux with the new x264 settings soon?

[celtic_druid]

"sync codec with ui for x264, not 100% done but mostly so"

At the time I posted the caps, the settings weren't linked at all.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

So it's on the way. great :D

[SadaraX]

Celt, who, where, and when is the quote from please? I'd love to know because if this is on the avidemux forums, I must have missed it. And about those screen captures. Are they from the latest work in avidemux? (I must be really out of the loop because I have not seen much come along in the SVN/CVS notification daily digests recently....)

[SadaraX]

That is a good idea and I will throw in onto the avidemux forum concerning the h264/x264 options. I am not sure what would prevent them from doing just that (I am not a GUI programmer sadly), so its a good possibility they will go with it. Are the screen captures that Celtic_Druid posted similar to what you were referencing? If not, some pictures to post as examples would be VERY nice.

[celtic_druid]

The comment was from the svn and the previous one actually relates to VfW.

"new UI for x264, clone of th vfw one from x264.nl. Disconnected from the codec ATM"

You need to be looking at the 2.2 branch. The pictures were from an actual svn build. As was the earlier picture. Just think it is important for people to get an idea of the GUI if they are going to discuss it.

Does not work for me. Too much *.dll´s are missing and I can´t get from the net.

[celtic_druid]

Really? The dll's included together with the gtk package should give you everything required.

The only other dll's are:
ADVAPI32.DLL
COMCTL32.DLL
GDI32.DLL
IMM32.DLL
KERNEL32.DLL
MSVCRT.DLL
NTDLL.DLL
OLE32.DLL
RPCRT4.DLL
SHELL32.DLL
SHLWAPI.DLL
USER32.DLL

WS2_32.DLL
WSOCK32.DLL

Which you should have.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Does not work for me. Too much *.dll´s are missing and I can´t get from the net.

You must run the "Langauge Selection" once, after you installed the latest GTK+ :cool:

@celtic_druid:
The current build of AviDemux refuses to open MPEG-2 files.
All I get is a "Faild to open file" error message. Am I missing something ???
I was able to open those files in older builds without problem...

[celtic_druid]

Works here.

[guada 2]

Does not work for me. Too much *.dll´s are missing and I can´t get from the net.

JoeBG, no problem, it functions perfectly.
Just use the totality of the dlls.

for me too.
:thanks: celtic_druid :)

[guada 2]

Hello celtic,

I have a small problem it doesn't support vfapi file.
Why?

[celtic_druid]

Why would it support VFAPI?

[JoeBG]

Works now. I deinstalled all. Then I installed GTK+ first and choosed the language selection. Then I started AVIDemux and it works.

But I can only open *.avi or *.mp4 files. I can´t open a Ifo or a VOB file or a *.mkv. Is there something missing in my build?

mkv format is not supported, though I'm hoping it will be one of the next things addressed after the x264 and mp4 developement is finished (which should be quite soon)

ogm is supported, so you can test that if you want.

As far as vob files go, you should be able to open a .vob file directly, you do not need the ifo files. I am not sure if avidemux needs or can use the ifo file actually. When you open a vob or mpg (mpeg) file, avidemux will ask you if you want to index the files. You should say yes, then you should able to look at the video.

[celtic_druid]

mkv isn't supported, although libavformat does support it, so I guess it might be added later. There is no IFO parsing. I have opened an mpg containing MPEG-2 and AC3. Just tried a VOB and from DVD it detects it as an MPG and asks if it should be indexed, then asks which audio stream and dies because the disc is read only. Copy the VOB to HDD and it doesn't even ask about indexing. Just dies.

Hmm, looks like the mpg only worked because I had an old idx.

[celtic_druid]

Found the problem. Relates to the win32 fix for ADM_edit.cpp. Basically my fix worked better which is what was used in 1830. For 1840 I used the svn fix which apparently broke MPEG-2 opening. Probably anything else that requires indexing to.

Basically instead of

#ifdef CYG_MANGLING
int fd = open(tmpname,O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_WRONLY);
#else
int fd = open(tmpname,O_CREAT|O_EXCL|O_WRONLY,S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);
#endif

you want

#ifdef CYG_MANGLING
#include <sys/stat.h>
#endif

[guada 2]

Why would it support VFAPI?

And why not?

Then why, VDM support it?

If you have a reason, can you tell me please?

Bye.

[celtic_druid]

VDM is a windows only app that uses VfW for input. AVIDemux is a cross platform app that uses internal decoders.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Opening MPEG files seems to be fixed in new build :D
But is there a way to open MPEG/VOB files from read-only media?
For example the index files could bestored in the TEMP folder.
That would be very helpfull...

And there's another problem: Once I start x264 encoding with the new build it just crashes :(

[celtic_druid]

No, no crash here. Default options? Two pass?

Ok, crashes with 2 pass, mp4 output. 2 pass avi is fine. 1840 was ok? Think there were some changes in regards to 2 pass mp4.

2 pass XviD works.

Don't think it can handle decrypted VOB's so I don't see being able to open from a disc directly as being all that usefull. It is nice how it detects and joins the source VOB's though.

Hmm, 1840 was "properly display pass when encoding to mp4" so that could be it unless 1840 works.

Nope. 1840 crashes here to.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

No, no crash here. Default options? Two pass?

Ok, crashes with 2 pass, mp4 output. 2 pass avi is fine. 1840 was ok? Think there were some changes in regards to 2 pass mp4.

Nope. 1840 crashes here to.

Yeah, I used 2pass. So that's why it crashed...

About VOB reading from DVD: Not all discs are encrypted, especially not those recorded with my DVD-Recorder. Futhermore we have tools like AnyDVD when we need them. So writing the .idx file to TEMP when source-drive is read-only would be a nice feature indeed.

[celtic_druid]

Did 2 pass x264/mp4 ever work?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

In rev1830 2pass works with AVI but not with MP4
With MP4 I just get an "MP4 file NOT saved correctly" error message.

In rev 1844 I can't get it to encode at all. No x264 setting / output format seems to work.
Crashes all the time...


BTW: The "Preview filtered output in the main window" button has no effect

[celtic_druid]

When I was playing around with mencoder, getting -noskip to work, I installed a K8 only x264 lib by accident. Pretty sure that was after I did the avidemux build though. Still it would explain why it works fine for 2pass avi/1 pass mp4 here and not for you.

1830 was before 1838's inverted abort for mp4 fix. Basically it just aborts straight away with mp4 output.

Try: http://mirror05.x264.nl/celtic_druid/force.php?file=./avidemux2.7z
I relinked against the correct libx264. So if it works, that is what iit was.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thanks :)
Everything works fine now (including 2pass encoding).
Excpet MP4 output. It seems to be broken...

One question about the x264 options: Why is there only "target filsize" and not "traget bitrate" avaible for 2pass mode? Furthermore "target filesize" doesn't hit the correct size. I got a 13MB file instead of 10MB.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

back to topic:

Two important options still missing are "mixed refs" and "number of ref frames"
And what about subq=7 and nr ???

[guada 2]

@celtic_druid
:thanks:

Just 2 questions:
why does you allow only "target filesize" with 2pass mode?
Can you explain me this: " same Qz as input"

Bye.

[Romario]

back to topic:

And what about subq=7 and nr ???

Yes, you are right.:goodpost: These options should be added into AviDemux soon.:D

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Is there a chance that the missing x264 options will be added in the next time or are we limited to what we have know? A complete x264 support with all important options would be very nice :)

I'm currently missing mixed_refs and frameref :(

[celtic_druid]

AVISynth support via proxy seems to be the current objective.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

AVISynth support via proxy seems to be the current objective.

And x264 dialog will not be completed? :scared:

[celtic_druid]

Well I didn't say that. You would really need to ask mean @ http://www.avidemux.org/pun/index.php

[SadaraX]

Damn, I need to check this forum more often. Sorry for all the late replies.

mkv isn't supported, although libavformat does support it, so I guess it might be added later. There is no IFO parsing.

Well, there might be some unseen IFO parsing in the subtitle tool, but nothing related to video. I think Mean has not seen a big port for including mkv input support. I would personally love to see it at least for input, and preferably for output (I prefer mkv over mp4). There are several problems I diagnosed with the AC3 audio, but nothing too major, just some weird/funny problems. They are schedule to be fixed before the next stable release, but that's a while away from now.

That vob index crash you found, did you contact Mean about it? Or report it somehow? I will gladly mention the problem to him, especially since you have a nice fix already. But if you already spoke to him about it, then I won't bother. Do mention if the problem does not get fixed eventually, Mean is a busy man and we all forget things.

Opening MPEG files seems to be fixed in new build :D
But is there a way to open MPEG/VOB files from read-only media?

There is no such feature yet, though you can submit a request for one. It probably would not be all that difficult to do. Theoretically, it can probably done with by tricking the .idx file with its filepath. But I'm not sure how it could be done. But its a valid request, submit it here if you want:

https://bugs.avidemux.org/

About all the x264 crashes and problems with not working (related to the windows builds or not)... the x264/h264 encoding is still being worked on. I am currently updating the GUI now, plus I am sure there will be more code work done underneath the GUI. Basically, the problems are being addressed, just be patient a little longer.... its coming soon. :)

Don't think it can handle decrypted VOB's so

I am checking up on this....


One question about the x264 options: Why is there only "target filsize" and not "traget bitrate" avaible for 2pass mode? Furthermore "target filesize" doesn't hit the correct size. I got a 13MB file instead of 10MB.

Yeah, the size issue has either been addressed or it will be. I have to test, but I remember reporting this problem a while ago. Though a target file size is sometimes off, but not usually more than 2%, 3MB is a bit much.

back to topic:
Two important options still missing are "mixed refs" and "number of ref frames"
And what about subq=7 and nr ???

I will see about getting those added.


why does you allow only "target filesize" with 2pass mode?


You know, I have no answer for that one. I would like to know myself. I will ask Mean when I get around to it. I know why the quantizer is disabled for Two Pass, but you should be able to enter an average bitrate I guess.


Can you explain me this: " same Qz as input"


Is that a valid option for x264/h264? I thought that was only available in XviD? I created a guide a while ago to explain those bitrate terms. Check here for an explanation.

http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=AvidemuxEncodeTypes1

I'm currently missing mixed_refs and frameref :(

I cannot guarantee the mixed_refs and frameref, but I am almost 100% they will be added.

Is there a chance that the missing x264 options will be added in the next time or are we limited to what we have know? A complete x264 support with all important options would be very nice :)
...
And x264 dialog will not be completed?


As far as an update to the missing options, I would expect it soon. I am trying to get the x264/h264 GUI options finished before other projects are really tackled. I cannot write much backend-core code, but I can help with GUI's and user input a little. :)

[guada 2]

:thanks: SadaraX .

Bye :)

[SadaraX]

Alright, I am doing some updating on the GUI, and I have some questions.

1) Is the valid quantizer range 0-51? I just want to confirm.
2) Should Kf Min (Keyframe Minimum) and Kf Max (Keyframe Maximum) be added as options? There were there orginally, but they are not there anymore.
3) Max IDR frame interval : 300, I am inclined to set the default to 300, instead of 250. Any objections?
4) What's the valid range on Deblocking filter's strength and threshold?
5) Should I try to add "Threads" to the "Sample A/R" section?

Another issue I am working on is the problem of the GUI layout. I am stuck between having the GUI look exactly the same as the windows codec configure window, and making it look more consistant with the Avidemux windows. The change is VERY slight, but still.

Here's what it looks like currently, without any more options planned for. (though tell me if I am missing something). Most of what you see is the what will be default, except for the Encoding Mode Type, Partition decision, Partition Method, and Direct Mode, these I am not sure what (if anything) should be default. I cannot guarantee the "Load Defaults", "Save Defaults", and the "Reset Defaults" will be there as Mean might remove them (not sure).

Things left to do, though not are are my responcibility:

* Get the labels and options to enable/disable on properly according to selection
* Add mouse-over tooltips
* Any extra options left


You can look screen grabs from the VFM version of the x264 encoder window.
http://www.free-codecs.com/screenshots/x264_Video_Codec_screenshots.htm

How does anyone feel about having the following added to the x264 GUI (we don't necessarily have to)? I am not so sure about these, since they are not included in the windows version.


* Fast P-Skip
* Custom quantization matrices
* Buffer control
* Zones

[celtic_druid]

The VfW GUI isn't the best place to look really since it is lacking in options.

mencoder: http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~main/libmpcodecs/ve_x264.c?rev=1.49&content-type=text/plain
is probably better or the cli encoder or MeGUI.

That may be true, but I was given the current x264 gui from within Avidemux, and so I simply continued to work with it. This thread is also here to help add any options that are missing which people want. I don't think Mean really want to write in all the options (at least right away anyhow). :)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

"Max ref frames" and "Mixed refs" added, nice :)

What I can't see from the screenshots, are the values for "Partition decision"
Is "6b (RDO on B-Frames)" still the maximum, or did you add the new "7" setting?

Furthermore it would be nice, if you could also add the "Noise Reduction" setting to the GUI. Okay, we already have some "Noise Reduction" filters in AViDemux, but giving the user access to x264's Noise Reduction can't be wrong...

:thanks:

Well, x264 is at svn rev 487, if that's anything. I'm a little confused by your post with relevance to the Avidemux codec GUI. None of the changes I have made are even updated so....

Okay, I'll try to make it more clear:

Partition decision at level 6 means "subme=6" and "brdo=0". That already works in the AviDemux GUI. But level 6b means "subme=6" plus "brdo=1". So the difference is the "brdo" setting. And that is what does not work! When I select 6b in AviDemux I still get "brdo=0". So there's currently no difference between 6 and 6b in AviDemux. I think this should be fixed ASAP.

Furthermore ther's a new level, level 7. AFAIK level 7 means "subme=7" and "brdo=1". Maybe you could add this as well...

:D

And that is what does not work! When I select 6b in AviDemux I still get "brdo=0". So there's currently no difference between 6 and 6b in AviDemux. I think this should be fixed ASAP.

Furthermore ther's a new level, level 7. AFAIK level 7 means "subme=7" and "brdo=1". Maybe you could add this as well...

:D

Thanks for the information, the new level has been added. Level 5 is still the default label, and I plan to leave it that way unless someone else thinks it should be otherwise (feel free to post). I have adopted these labels, just to help:

1 - Extremely Low (Fastest)
2 - Very Low
3 - Low
4 - Medium
5 - High
6 - Very High
6B - Very High (RDO on Bframes)
7B - Ultra High (RDO on Bframes)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

:thanks:

When will the new stuff be ready :confused:


BTW: Think it's called just "7" not "7b", but I might be wrong...

[SadaraX]

:thanks:

I left the 'B" on there because it would affect the Bframes. Unless there is a 7 without RDO on BFrames, in which case I might have to add a 7 without a B.

As far as the date, well, I don't know. I still have to read more doc's on the codec and finish the glade files, then start writing the code underneath to make it behave properly. So, I guess I no date yet. I am shooting for two weeks or less, but don't quote me...

Okay. I'm looking forward. Thanks for your efforts !!!

[Sharktooth]

subme and brdo are 2 separate things...
AFAIK subme7 does not imply brdo, you should still manually enable it.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

subme and brdo are 2 separate things...

But brdo=1 requires subme=6 or higher, correct?

[Sharktooth]

yes, brdo requires RDO modes (6 and 7).

[LoRd_MuldeR]

yes, brdo requires RDO modes (6 and 7).

Then I think it's the best to make subme/brdo one setting in the GUI:

1 - Extremely Low (Fastest)
2 - Very Low
3 - Low
4 - Medium
5 - High
6 - Very High
6B - Very High (RDO on Bframes)
7 - Ultra High
7B - Ultra High (RDO on Bframes)

[bond]

i think brdo and subme should be seperated options, but brdo should be greyed out when subme <6 is used

[LoRd_MuldeR]

i think brdo and subme should be seperated options, but brdo should be greyed out when subme <6 is used

Good idea, but possible with GTK+ ???

[bond]

no idea, but i would be surprised if its not possible to grey out options

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I just checked out the new build (2.2.0 rev1868)

1. MP4 output still broken (just crashes without warning)
2. x264 options not improved any further, seems like SadaraX has not commited anything new yet.
3. "Display filtered output in the main window" options does not have any effect :(


I hope they keep up good work and fix those bugs soon, because I really want to use that tool !!!


//EDIT

Does any body know, what version of TDeint is built-in with AviDemux?
Is it up-to-date and recommended to use ???

[mean]

Could you detail what you do to make the mp4 output crash ?
AFAIK, it is flaky but works for basic stuff

The rdo/bframe is active for odd level>6 (7/9/11)

Tdeint is ~ 6 month old, but the good news is that you can open avs file
using avsproxy (on both linux & windows, 32 bits & 64 bits)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Could you detail what you do to make the mp4 output crash ?
AFAIK, it is flaky but works for basic stuff

1. Open Source (e.g. some MPEG-2 capture)
2. Make a selection
3. Choose encoders (x264 + LameMP3)
4. Choose MP4 output
5. Save File

-> AviDemux just disappears, no error message, nothing

The rdo/bframe is active for odd level>6 (7/9/11)

In my build (rev1868) the maximum level to select is "6b (RDO on b-frames)", but it still does *not* enable brdo! Make an AVI and check it in the Hex-Editor: "brdo=0". Furthermore "mixed_refs" and "nr" is missing. SadaraX was going to add this, but it seems it's not done yet...

Tdeint is ~ 6 month old

Is it possible to include the latest version?
Since it's already built-in, it basically requires to copy over the latest sources, eh?
Or are there a lot modifications neccessary? :confused:

but the good news is that you can open avs file using avsproxy (on both linux & windows, 32 bits & 64 bits)

That is exactly what I don't want to do :(

[mean]

and x264+aac ?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

and x264+aac ?

hmm, it encodes. But the resulting MP4 is crap.
In MPC I get only noise instead of sound and in MPlayer/VLC even video is borked...

[mean]

I just tried on linux
Mplayer does not play it but the official mplayer has a too old lavcodec version
Vlc plays it fine
avidemux plays it fine

Maybe a windows specific bug, i'll look

[celtic_druid]

Hmmm, could be something I did. Only problem I could detect though was that with mplayer it looked like crap when first playing, presumably until the first IDR frame. No problem with ffdshow. No problem with mplayer for avi output either.

I'll have more of a look tomorrow.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

found another problem:

rev1868 doesn't index MPEG files. It just freezes.
With old .idx files from rev1844 it works...

[SadaraX]

You're right, it does crash the program and fail to index the mpeg's.

[SadaraX]

i think brdo and subme should be seperated options, but brdo should be greyed out when subme <6 is used

Mean has set the encoder to enable RDO if level >= 6, so I am not going to contradict him by adding a seperate option. If people really want this, then post to this thread and maybe Mean will let me change it.

[killerhex]

does this program have mkv support i cant open any of my mkvs with this any files i need

[SadaraX]

does this program have mkv support i cant open any of my mkvs with this any files i need

Sorry KillerHex, Avidemux does not (yet) support mkv. There has been no discussion of when it will be added, though it has been asked for already. I do not know what Mean's plans are, but I am pretty sure he wants to finish the mp4 integration and probably tackle a few of the bug reports that have built up, and also finish the x264 update, and possibly the XviD codec update. I do not know how long any of that will take, and though it looks like a lot, I have seen Mean whip out code like a mad-man and add features surprisingly quickly, so it may not be as long as you think. If I have anything to say about it (which is not much), I hope to have mkv support added eventually.

I am reluctantly (personally) to add yet another feature request onto the tracker until I have actually finished the stuff I have said I will help on. Of course, that does not stop anyone else from adding a request for mkv input/output support. I would personally like to use that container over mp4... (especially because it supports vorbis and flac, two things I use a lot).

But it doesn not work, at least for rev1868 :(
Make an AVI, load it into Hex-Editor and check it out yourself:
You'll see "brdo=0", even when you selected "Level 6b"...

[celtic_druid]

Should be fixed now I think. I'll put a new build up later.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Jupp, MPEG indexing and the "brdo=0" bug are fixed now :)

Nevertheless I won't use AviDemux for x264 encoding until I can set "ref" to a value higher than only 1 and "mixed_refs" is aviable...

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Nevertheless I won't use AviDemux for x264 encoding until I can set "ref" to a value higher than only 1 and "mixed_refs" is aviable...

Yeah, me too?

Well, this is the important stuff you should definately be posting about. To respond, "Mixed Ref's" is going to be available very soon, but what do you mean by set the "ref" to a higher value? Is this refering to the Max. Ref. Frames (which is also going to be available).

This is more or less what the window looks like, plus a few more default settings and a spinwheel change for the range.

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d47/sadarax/Avidemux/x264-2.png

Tell me what you are refering to specifically, and I will try to get it added.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Very good news SadaraX :cool:

"Mixed Refs" and "Max. Ref. Frames" is exactly what we need.
But it's not in the current build yet.

Your screenshots look promising. Hope your work is in the build soon !!!
And I hope we will have "Bitrate" and not only "Target Filesize" for 2-Pass mode ^^

[SadaraX]

And I hope we will have "Bitrate" and not only "Target Filesize" for 2-Pass mode ^^

I want this option too so I will ask Mean if we can get both.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I want this option too so I will ask Mean if we can get both.

"Target Filesize" is a nice additional feature, but "Target Bitrate" is essential!

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Not to forget --subme 7 and Trellis 2(Trellis always ON), together with RDO for B-Frames.

SadaraX, for all x264 option, please look into MeGUI, and try to implement all options.

Thanks.

I will check out the meGUI, ASAP. As for the level 7, this currently what is in the Partition decision list (I will post full screen shots in a day or so):

1 - Extremely Low (Fastest)
2 - Very Low
3 - Low
4 - Medium
5 - High
6 - Very High
6B - Very High (RDO on Bframes)
7 - Ultra High
7B - Ultra High (RDO on Bframes)

I am not sure whether I should add brdo as a seperate option or not not. Would this do for everyone or do we really need to make a seperate option?

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

I am not sure whether I should add brdo as a seperate option or not not. Would this do for everyone or do we really need to make a seperate option?

No, no need for separate option, just implement 6B - Very High (RDO on Bframes) and 7B - Ultra High (RDO on Bframes)

And, very important x264 option is Direct Auto(automatic decision on 2 pass, between Spatial or Temporal, useful only in two-pass mode)

[easyfab]

thanks for this tool, it's a very useful all-in-one encoder.

Some nice options like delogo, colors modification...

I just miss 2 filters that i use with avisynth : TomsMoComp and limitedsharpen. But the filters you have are good too.

[SadaraX]

I am having real trouble getting meGUI working, even on Windows 2000 which I specially installed to test for it. It gave me some horrible DLL errors, only after the webbrowser I used to download the zip file with crashed two times. It reminded me once again very thoroughly why I don't use Windows.

If someone wants to post screenshots of the meGUI with its x264/h264 codec configuration window, I will take a look.

[SadaraX]

Thanks a lot Celtic_Druid. I really wish I had got ahold of this about 2 weeks ago. Most of these will probably have to wait for a second release.

=== Things I will be looking into ===

Zones - This will probably be left out until the next version. I will take a look.

PSNR calculation
Credits Quantizer
Factor between I and P frames Quants
Factor between P and B frames Quants
Choma QP Offset
No Fast P-Skip
Quantization Matrix

=== Stuff Left Out ===

The profiles AVC profiles and AVC Levels are not going to be included at this time (I am not sure if they ever will be, I don't remember people indicating they wanted them very much).

The fourCC area is not going to be there and will probably be handled by Avidemux itself.

The multithreading I am asking mean about, whether he wants it handled in the x264 codec configuration GUI or whether Avidemux itself take care of the multithreading.

=== Uncertain ===

Subpixel Refinement - I am looking at this and it appears to be the same as what has been setup as "Partition Decision" Avidemux only with different descriptions. Can anyone confirm they are the same?

Trellis - 2 Always - I do not know if there is any difference between the current Trellis. It looks like its a GUI configuration option to simple enable or use Trellis. I think Trellis is only used on one pass anyway.

B-Pyramid - I seem to remember discussion about this not being possible in Avidemux for some reasons (probably difficulty). Can anyone confirm or deny this claim?

=== How do we feel about these? ===

Regardless I will continue to look into these for later versions of the GUI

VBV Buffer Size
VBV Maximum Bitrate
VBV Initial Buffer
Bitrate Variance
Quantizer Compression
Temp. Blur of est. Frame complexity
Temp. blur of Quant after CC

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

It's ok, we can't expect from you to finish all work at once. Keep going, SadaraX, step by step, and I am sure that you will implement these options.

[SadaraX]

Well I have submitted my files to Mean today, a day late from what I wanted but still more or less on my goal. This does NOT mean they will appear in the SVN immediately. Mean still have to tie the backend code to my front end work (small as it is), which may take a while. I don't know how much time it will take... still, the new GUI is on its way. Here's what the current product looks like with all its defaults. Hope you all enjoy and that most of the immediately necessary options are there. I know you cannot see the pull down menu's, but all 7 levels plus 2 extras with RDO B-frames are there.

For those of you who did not know, h264/x264 is already multi-threaded within Avidemux, and the controls for that are in the "Edit -> Preferences" menu, so there was no need to include it inside the codec GUI.

PSNR calculation
Credits Quantizer
Factor between I and P frames Quants
Factor between P and B frames Quants
Choma QP Offset
No Fast P-Skip
Quantization Matrix

And of course anything else that should be mentioned I will look into.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Great work SadaraX. Hope it will be in the SVN soon!
Once x264 encoding works satisfactorily, AviDemux will become my numer one :)

BTW: What about Trellis disabled? I only see trellis=1 and trellis=2...

About the Trellis, I had trouble finding much information about it (I was busy with other features). All I could determine was that there is Trellis 1, which when selected only turns on part of the time during the encoding, and then there's Trellis 2, which is always on throughout the whole encoding process. Are you telling me there are more options available and that I have messed up? :scared: (Post quickly please, I will tell Mean to wait while I correct it, but I would need some more information).

"trellis=0" means Trellis is disabled (default)
"trellis=1" means Trellis enabled at "normal" level
"trellis=2" means Trellis enabled at "high" level

[SadaraX]

"trellis=0" means Trellis is disabled (default)
"trellis=1" means Trellis enabled at "normal" level
"trellis=2" means Trellis enabled at "high" level

Alright, I have changed the two radiobuttons to a spinwheel with options 0,1, and 2. So everything should be set

[bond]

any news on the mp4 output? the last report i made is available here (http://www.avidemux.org/pun/viewtopic.php?pid=12050#p12050), any updates on those issues?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I just tested the the latest AviDemux build: Rev. 1918

The x264 config window still has not changed in any way. Is SadaraX's patch still not ready or does it need to be added manually and Celtic Druid did just not do that in his build?

I'm still looking forward to that patch. Screenshots look very promising!

[celtic_druid]

Don't think there is any patch available.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Don't think there is any patch available.

Can you be more precise, please.:)

I don't know why, but MP4 output doesn't work for me, AviDemux crashes when I select MP4 container to save the file. Build 1893.

I guess you selected FAAC for audio encoding. Correct?
This makes it crash for me too!
If I use Lame MP3 instead it seems to work fine...

Using FAAC in MEncoder also destroys MP4 output (with MP4Box)

I have not tested the mp4 output at all Bond but as soon as the h264 configure window is updated I will be testing it quite a bit. I will see if those issues you mentioned still persist.

I am currently talking with Mean about some adjustments that have to be made before it can be merged. One problem is that Mean has told me that as for right now, it is not possible to encode with an average bitrate in 2 pass. So I have to put back the old encoding type with the pulldown. Then he will merge it. Not everything may be glued immediately but the UI would be OK for the options that are already there. I am going to submit the updated files to him sometime tonight.

Don't worry, it will be there eventually I am told, just not right away. I am not sure why really it is not available right now but I am certain Mean has his reasons. We can either wait a while longer for this option or we can push the rest of the options forward and add that later, which is what we are choosing to do. Fear not Lord Mulder, that feature will come in time.

[Romario]

Using FAAC in MEncoder also destroys MP4 output (with MP4Box)

1) You are right, I tested MP4 output tonight, and I must say that MP4 output is very buggy, at least for now. When I select FAAC audio for MP4 container, Avidemux crashes, just like KRP said(well, I suppose that he was thinking on that), but when I use Lame MP3, everything works fine.

2) Except, when saving file, if I don't put the extension *.MP4(example is: john67.mp4) the file is saved without extension, so I have to rename file after encoding, and manually add MP4 extension. That's huge bug, please correct that.

3) But, there is more problems. When I try to play that file in MP4 container, my BSPlayer 1.40 plays only sound, without image, but when I manually rename file to JOHN67.M4V, there is no sound, but video is there. Can somebody explain these bugs??? :mad:

And yes, I have newest ffdshow build, 20060423

Yes, you are right.:cool: It's weird bug. I don't try newest build 1918, but I think that this bug is there(in the 1918 build).


And I must confirm all that Romario said, at least for build 1893. These bugs is real, as Romario said.

[mean]

It might be an issue with the library version linked used.
With that build
( http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/avidemux2_r1910_win32.zip )
It does not crash and even seem to work.

[celtic_druid]

Oddly enough it seems to work fine here. Just ran
1 pass XviD/aac in mp4
2 pass XviD/aac in mp4
1 pass x264/aac in mp4

2 pass x264 was the only one that crashed and that was with or without aac.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Just 2 pass x264 was the only one that crashed and that was with or without aac.

2 pass x264 works fine here...


// EDIT

Well, I have to correct myself:
I worked when I tested it a while ago with some previous build.
With rev1918 I have the same crash on x264-2pass in MP4 (with Lame MP3 for audio)

[celtic_druid]

2 pass x264 works fine here to... just not in an mp4 container. Minimises to start encoding and just dies.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

2 pass x264 works fine here to... just not in an mp4 container. Minimises to start encoding and just dies.

Yes, 100% the same here.

[SadaraX]

I encoded all of these worked 100% with NO crash.

1 pass XviD/aac in mp4
2 pass XviD/aac in mp4
1 pass x264/aac in mp4
2 pass x264/aac in mp4

I am running avidemux svn 1921, and the x264 svn 512 (both are the latest). However the both the 1-pass and 2-pass x264 in the mp4 codec do not play in Mplayer. They start as gray color and I can hear the audio but then they immediately have an error the player crashes. Does anyone else have this problem?

[celtic_druid]

I have the grey. It clears after what would I guess be the first IDR frame. Of course only effects 1 pass since 2 pass crashes here.

Same mp4 plays ok in MPC using ffdshow to decode.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I encoded all of these worked 100% with NO crash.

1 pass XviD/aac in mp4
2 pass XviD/aac in mp4

2 pass x264 (MP4) still crashes with AviDemux rev 1921 (Celtic's build)

Furthermore the "Display filtered output in main window" button is not working at all

[celtic_druid]

How about faac?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

How about faac?

I tested x264 single-pass (quality) with FAAC. (AviDemux 1921)
Works with AVI and MP4 output, but the MP4 won't play correctly in MPlayer as said before...

[SadaraX]

Well, in the VERY latest version of the SVN, the x264 GUI has been updated. However all of the options have NOT been tied to it yet. All of the old features should still work just fine.

New features that are not working yet:
*Noise Reduction
*Range
*Max. Ref. frames
*Mixed Refs

New feature that should be working:
*Trellis 0 through 2
*Partition Decision 7 and 7B

There will be more updates made soon.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I've just tested AviDemux rev1924 and I'm really happy with that one :)

The new x264 GUI is now included and *all* settings seem to work fine, even Mixed Refs and Max Ref Frames. NR too. Only thing I found not working yet is "Save/Load/Reset Defaults". And I'm still waiting for Bitrate mode in 2pass.

So thanks a lot to all devs, especially SadaraX :D
Keep up good work, AviDemux is a great tool !!!


BTW: Are you going the fix the "Display filtered output in main window" button? It's not a big problem, but a little nasty though...


// EDIT

Little question: Can I change GTK+ look, so it looks as on the screenshots?
The WinXP-like look, looks wrong for some controls

[SadaraX]

Yes, a lot of those seemed to have been updated this morning (last night depending on your timezone). Reading through the code diffs from the svn update email, it looks like the following as been enabled:

Reset Button - though it wisely does not effect bitrate or file size input
Deblocking Filter
MixedRefs
Noise Reduction
Range

I think this means that every new feature is now working, except the Load/Save buttons, which are currently disabled.

Only thing I found not working yet is "Save/Load/Reset Defaults". And I'm still waiting for Bitrate mode in 2pass.

I did a look around and noticed that you cannot set the bitrate on the XviD codec either. I wonder if the bitrate in 2-pass is not just an x264 issue, but may be something wider to other codecs as well?

[QUTOE]So thanks a lot to all devs, especially SadaraX :D
Keep up good work, AviDemux is a great tool !!![/QUOTE]

Glad you like it. Thank you Mean for all your hard work. :)

BTW: Are you going the fix the "Display filtered output in main window" button? It's not a big problem, but a little nasty though...

Which bug is this? I seem to have missed the posts about it. I know there is a very miner bug in the external preview window, but that's something I am currently trying to find a fix for.

Little question: Can I change GTK+ look, so it looks as on the screenshots? The WinXP-like look, looks wrong for some controls

You know, unfortunately I have no idea. I really don't deal with Windows or GTK in windows, so I really don't know.

Well, I think bitrate/2pass is essential for all codecs.
It's a pity Avidemux doesn't allow it...

It's just that the "Preview filtered in main window" is without effect. If this button is checked or not, I always get unfiltered output in main window, so I have to switch between main- and preview-window all the time. Not a big problem, but nasty...

I really don't know what to tell you about that. You may want to email Mean himself about that one and ask him what's going on.

I do not have the same problem on my working copy of Avidemux. You are running a windows version right? Perhaps its a windows related bug....

[SadaraX]

Alright, I am doing some bug testing to make sure the x264/h264 is working properly.

Save an x264 video to AVI output and take a look at the stats file. Here are the options that look strange to me. I would like some confirmation from you guys on whether things are working correctly or not. I do not yet know everything about this codec, so forgive me if I am still ignorant on a few points. :)


analyse=0x1:0
me=dia
subme=2
brdo=0

Are the analyse and me=dia normal? Now the for the subme=2 and brdo=0, I had selected for this encode under Partition Decision: 1 Extremely Low, and for the Method: Diamond, so I don't know if subme=2 should be 2 or not or what value brdo=0 should be.

trellis=0
I think this is broken because it never changes regardless if I set Trellis as 1 or 2.

8x8dct=0
This may be broken as well. The value never changes no matter if I enabled or disable the 8x8 and the 4x4 DCT. In fact I do not even see a 4x4dct=0 value in the stats file...

wpredb=0

No matter what I select, its still zero.

No matter what I select, its still zero.

I check the created AVI file by loading it into a Hex-Editor. All x264 options are stored inside the AVI. Just have to search them in the Hex-Editor. VirtualDub's Hex-Edit is usefull for that task, because it has RIFF-Tree. I did some testing and if found all settings to work fine. But I did not check the stats file.

I will do some more tests soon...

[foxyshadis]

Trellis is only enabled with at least RDO subme 6. Same with brdo. me=dia is Diamond. 8x8dct and the options I/P/B 8x8 are two different things; in megui 8x8dct is called Adaptive DCT. You have to have that before you get i8x8. Analyse is where the i4x4, p4x4, i8x8, etc options are stored (as two bitmaps), but I'm not sure exactly how they are.

Now, I'm not sure if subme 2 maps to partition decision 1 instead of 2, but I doubt it, so that looks screwy.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Any news on bitrate-based 2pass mode ???

Too sad I still can't use AviDemux for encoding, because it lacks that important feature...

[SadaraX]

Trellis is only enabled with at least RDO subme 6. Same with brdo.

Are you saying this is an error or saying that it is acting this way (and that it is correct)? About the rest of your post... are you saying there are problems (or not...)?

Any news on bitrate-based 2pass mode ???

You will have to email mean about this one. I really don't know when its going to be added, but I agree its sad. He would be able to tell you what the story is on the situation.

[foxyshadis]

Its behavior is correct, I was just explaining why. The only one that looked odd was the partition decision, and that may well just be the program's style.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

address?

[The Shemeta]

You can just go to the Avidemux forum ( http://avidemux.berlios.de/index.html ) & ask about that. mean will answer you ASAP.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Reply about "Target-Bitrate" mode for 2-pass:

The problem is that the encoding mode is shared between all codecs.
So changing it for x264 means changing the framework and altering all codecs.
It does not mean no, it just mean it will be done after 2.2 is out.

I guess we have to wait for a long time :(

[SadaraX]

Still no builds of 2.2 for SUSE. :(

But having a look at the Win32 builds I see that there's still no support for XviD CQMs. A pity, I would really like to use something other than VDub with WINE under Linux. XviD without CQMs isn't worth a penny today...

Sorry you feel that way. I already submitted a request for you on the tracker. I will try to see this gets some attention soon. (I will probably be the one who updates the GUI...)

I talked with Mean this morning and he added the backend code over lunch. That man and the way he write code. ;) I will be updating the GUI in a day or so. The custom matrices will be there probably by Monday or earlier.... (let's hope). :)

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Great news, indeed. But, about news for build 1999, from where I can download changelog?

celtic_druid doesn't include it in his builds.

Reply about "Target-Bitrate" mode for 2-pass:

The problem is that the encoding mode is shared between all codecs.
So changing it for x264 means changing the framework and altering all codecs.
It does not mean no, it just mean it will be done after 2.2 is out.

I guess we have to wait for a long time :(

Well Murder, looks like you may not have to wait too long. The two pass bitrate option looks like it have been added to XviD encoding. The x264 will probably follow shortly.

As for the custom matrix option, it has been added for testing. There is also a new windows binary for those who want to bug test it. See this thread and post if you find anything not already reported.

That's sounds like good news :)

If they also look at the MPEG PS issue, then it'll be perfect ;)

[SadaraX]

If they also look at the MPEG PS issue, then it'll be perfect ;)

In SVN rev 2027, the XviD and x264 both have the option for two pass with average bitrate encoding. So I guess that's settles that. Of course, testing is needed.

What MPEG PS issues do you speak of? I have not had any problems.... :?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Cool :cool: But it's not in Celtic's latest build yet...

What MPEG PS issues do you speak of? I have not had any problems.... :?

The problem is, that I want to cut MPEG-2 files I captured from TV. Those files are 12.000 kbps for video and 320 kbps / 44 Khz for audio. I set Audio and Video both to "copy" and select "MPEG PS" as output container. But AviDemux shows an error message, because my MPEG-2 file is not Video-DVD compatible. Okay, it is not Video-DVD compatible, indeed. But who cares? I'm not going to burn it on any Video-DVD. Just want to cut out a part and that's it. Unfortunately there's no way to disable that limitation. So I have to choose another container in order to force AviDemux to do the job. "MPEG-2 TS" seems to work, but doesn't allow seeking and MPlayer/MEncoder reports some sync errors. At the moment I use OGM as output for my MPEG-2 files. This seems to work with MEncoder/MPlayer, but still doesn't allow seeking. Furthermore all other players refuse to play those OGM files! Would be much better to put the MPEG-2 video into the "correct" container.

I already reported the problem on the bug tracker....

Disaster, Avidemux in build 2027 lost ability to save files in MP4 container!!!

Check the log because from recollection rev2029 or 2030 fixed that.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

2-pass, Avarage Bitrate seems to work fine :D


But I found a problem: The status window just freezes during the encoding. At the beginning it was updated about each 5 seconds and frozen in-between. But then, after about one minute, it was completely frozen and Windows added "(No Response)" to the title bar. I had to wait until the encoding was done and I had no status information at all.

Seems like the there's a problem with the GUI thread...

Any one else experienced that ???

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Yes, I experienced that. It's very annoying.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Reported the freezing problem on the bug tracker.


I got another question: Is there a way to save my x264 settings? I see there are two buttons available "Load Defaults" and "Save Defaults". But those are grayed all the time. Am I missing something?

:confused:

[SadaraX]

But I found a problem: The status window just freezes during the encoding. Seems like the there's a problem with the GUI thread...

I just ran the test with XviD and x264, and there was no freeze... But I am running the program in Linux. So its probably the windows build....

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I want to test this (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/r2031_win32.zip) build, but it doesn't work, because some DLL called "libiconv-2.dll" is missing.

I already installed latest GTK+ and Celtic's builds never asked for that DLL...

Thx :D

I'm not sure if that build fixed the freezing problem.
At least it did not freeze completely so far, but not tested very much yet.
And it still freezes for about 5sec between each update...

And that build has outdated x264 version included.
I still prefer Celtic's builds :cool:

[celtic_druid]

That build was cross compiled, not built with mingw under windows right?

About the freezing problem:

Comment by mean (mean)
Ok, so it is coming either from celtic druid built or from your gtk
I'll close the bug as it is not one

:scared:

[celtic_druid]

Doesn't actually freeze here. Didn't test mean's build since it didn't like my libvorbisenc-2.dll. Complains about missing vorbis_analysis when that is in libvorbis-0.dll anyway not enc. Does it minimise to the systray? Mine doesn't seem to any more.

Well, maybe "freeze" is not 100% clear.
It's just that the window gets updated every ~5 seconds.
In-between those updates, the window doesn't response at all.
This means the window cannot be moved and the button doesn't highlight when I move the mouse over it.

That's not a big problem, just a little nasty.

The main problem is, that a few times the status window was completely frozen! When this happened, I did not get any status information until encoding was done! Windows also added a "(No Response)" message to the titlebar, so I guess if I had clicked "X" then Windows would have just killed Avidemux. However the file that came out was okay.


About the "Minimze to Tray" feature:
Seems like they made it optional. There is an "Go to systemtray when encoding" option in the preferences window.

[celtic_druid]

Status updates every ~1sec here. No freezes. What I meant is that it doesn't go to the tray here even with that option enabled. It used to before the recent updates to that area.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Just checked it:
With the option enabled the Main Window is minimized and a Trayicon is created. However both windows are still present on the Taskbar.

BTW: Is there a way to save my x264 options? "Save Defaults" is grayed here all the time. Am I missing something or is this feature not available yet?

[celtic_druid]

Right. Apparently there is a tray icon or rather there is a blank space where one should be. Hovering over it shows the percentage of the job and all. Just no icon. Need to look into that. From recollection though it used to remove the windows from the taskbar.

There have been some fixes for the Icon I believe, though I cannot say for windows. If its still a problem in the latest SVN, please post about it and I will communicate it to mean.

BTW: Is there a way to save my x264 options? "Save Defaults" is grayed here all the time. Am I missing something or is this feature not available yet?

Yes, yes there is! :) I am very happy to announce that the feature of saving codec settings and filter settings as pre-defined loadable options has finally be implemented, and quite handilly I might add.

In recent builds the new "Custom" menu has been added. This allows you to define custom made preset files for ANYTHING, include video codecs, audio codecs, and audio/video filter settings (seperately or all together).

Here's an example for the video codec:
1) Open a video
2) Select the video codec you want (like x264)
3) Configure codec with the options you want
4) Save the file as a Project file somewhere....
5) Open that project file in a text editor (like vim, notepad, wordpad, etc)
6) Now you need to edit and remove whatever you do not want to be loaded as a preset
** You must leave the line that says "var app = new Avidemux();"
** If you want to keep the filters, leave the //** Filters ** section, if you want keep the video leave the //** Video Codec conf **, and so on.
7) Save the file in $HOME/.avidemux/custom with a .js as the file extention

Next time you reload avidemux, the preset option will appear in the custom menu and can be loaded

[celtic_druid]

Works fine under linux. Nice little animated icon. Ogm files still crash here though. Well actually I used the same ogm file. Suppose I should test a different one.

What version of Avidemux are you running? I found that if you tried to save a project with two-pass average bitrate mode, it crashed. Mean has fixed problem (a little while ago). It works for linux, so you may need to get an updated version from the SVN.

[celtic_druid]

I put a new version up later. Got a few more packes to install before I can try cross compiling though. See if that makes any difference.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

The latest revision does now allow MPEG PS output for non-standard bitrates/samplerates. So I can use "Copy" mode plus "MPEG PS" container for my captured MPEG-2 files. That's really great, because I can cut my MPEG-2 files now! Avidemux is far the best MPEG-2 cut tool I've ever used !!!

So if you need to cut an MPEG-2 file, try Avidemux! ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Damn, it happened again:
AviDemux was frozen during an 6 hours encoding today :angry:
I had to kill the process :(

Falling back to MEncoder until this is fixed...

Updated it to support latest x264, tried to build it, but it failed because spidermonkey now needs to be thread safe.

Built nspr, rebuilt spidermonkey, built avidemux and it crashes. So it could be awhile before I release a new build.

[mean]

http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/avidemux_2.3_r2246_win32.zip

That one (update only from rev2214 link given above) is from 2.3 branch and contains :
* Fixed avsproxy (it works here at least, win32, linux and linux64)
* Massively multithreaded DVD(lavc) encoding
* Should fix the freeze problem definitively
* Contains x264 latest version from svn, now it works in 2 passes mode on windows. I don't really know why it wasn't working.

@Celtic druid:
I had the same problem.
I rebuild libpsnr4 without too much problem for win32
I spend a lot of time to tweak js to build for win32 with proper compiler and flags and it was crashing too :)

So i took the js from firefox and rebuilt the js.dll.a and it runs fine.

JS is a pain to build. On the other hand, it works fine and allows users to easily do complicated script.

If you want i can make you a tarball with all the library+include files i use so that you can pick what is of interest for you.

If you are interested, just say it.

Thanks.

Ps: It is cross compiled form linux (build is much faster) but i believe it should work fine on windows + mingw or whatever you use as long as it is mingw/cygwin based.

[Doom9]

Massively multithreaded DVD(lavc) encodingmassively? did lavc finally get proper multithreaded support? last time I checked lavc's multithreaded mpeg4 asp encoder delivered almost no speed advantage over the singlethreaded version.

[mean]

Multithreaded because for DVD output using lavcodec based mpeg2 codec there is between 3 and 4 threads :
- One for audio (doesn't do much if you are reusing an existing audio track)
- One or two for video. Mpeg2 multithreading works well in lavcodec, albeit with a slight quality decrease
- One for the muxer

Just a warning, it is from the -dev branch and that version has probably some nasty bugs (nastier than the usual ones at least)

[celtic_druid]

Yeah it was libpsnr4. Grabed the dll from the mozilla ftp and it no longer crashes.

I have also cross compiled in the past. Didn't bother timing though. Also, not faster when you have to set it all up first.

Problem here with SDL, probably because I linked against recent svn. Could also be that I linked statically. GUI loses all text.

Tray icon still doesn't display the encoding status. Under linux I get a nice animated icon and all. Also during encoding if set to minimise to tray, there didn't used to be any windows left on the taskbar, correct?

[mean]

"Tray icon still doesn't display the encoding status. Under linux I get a nice animated icon and all. Also during encoding if set to minimise to tray, there didn't used to be any windows left on the taskbar, correct?"

I just checked, the windows are still in the taskbar
Don't know if they disappeared at one time

For the SDL vs text, no idea
I just noticed that SDL >=1.2.10 has a different behaviour at initialization time but that should be detected by the code

@Celtic Druid

Thanks for the build, I'll do some testings ASAP.
But you forgot one required DLL file in your ZIP: libxml2.dll

And I got a question:
Why do those (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/?M=D) build require all those additional DLLs like "xvidcore.dll" and "libx264.dll" and so on, while your build only reuires a few of them?

[celtic_druid]

I link statically where possible (can't build static GTK libs under windows). libxml2 wasn't linked statically? It isn't a dependancy here. If you check I guess you will see that it is a dependancy of a dependancy maybe?

Linking dynamically does make sense though, since you should get a smaller binary and you can update xvid, x264, etc. seperatly (assuming no major changes).

[celtic_druid]

As I said, it isn't required at all here.

Any Ideas why I need it then? :confused:

I use WinXP SP-2 and latest GTK+ is installed properly (v2.8.18).
Your AviDemux build was extracted to a clean dir and it seems to load the required libs properly from GTK+ dir.
Only that libxml2.dll is missing...

[celtic_druid]

Well your libcairo requires it, mine doesn't. That's why I won't package the file. Different people would be requiring different dll's. Pretty much a case of all or nothing. I could probably 7zip libxml2 seperatly along with pthreadGC2, etc. That way people could grab them if they need them.

Did I include it with older builds?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Did I include it with older builds?

Don't think so.

BTW: My libcairo-2.dll is from official GTK+ release.
Wouldn't it be possible to compile all the required libs into the avidemux2.exe ???

[celtic_druid]

You can't build static GTK libs under windows. That would make it one mother of an EXE to. Better to leave GTK seperate and use the GTK+ installer. Really if it requires libxml2, it should include it though.

Yes. But what makes me wonder is, that GTK+ doesn't need that Lib always. Only with your new AviDemux build. Other GTK+ apps or your older builds never asked for it...

[celtic_druid]

Previous builds were 2.2 branch. Didn't require a thread safe spidermonkey either. I am sure that there are lots of differences between the branches.

I don't know if they modified anything that effects the response of the GUI, but the "freezing bug" I had with older versions seems to be fixed. I just did a 15 hours encoding and the status window did not freeze this time. Well, Windows added a "(no response)" warning to the window's caption-bar one time. I though it would freeze again and I had to abort, but after about 15 secs the warning disappeared and the window startet to respond again...

Does this mean Avidemux can read WMV files directly now?

[celtic_druid]

Still needs some more work I think. Just get a black screen here, then it crashes when you seek, etc.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

File is only 32KB in size:

Seems like incomplete upload...

[celtic_druid]

3.7M on my server. Should probably get around to using the 1GB of hosting that my ISP offers. Also got to get around to setting up my new Via EPIA server. Still waiting on another 2.5" HDD though.

Didn't I PM you with details of where my files are stored some time ago though? If so then you can just grab it from there.

Nope. But the file is now mirrored properly.
Thanks.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Results so far:

1. WMV9 in AVI crashes
2. WMV HD Trailers have no sound, but video seems to be alright
3. Other WMV files have audio and video, but completely out of sync

Avidemux changelog says:
partially working QT4 build

What does that mean? Will it work for Win32 too and are there any improvements compared to the current GTK+ builds?

Version 2.3 is almost ready for final stable release. I think they are just waiting on last few language translations before it hits the download sites.

Version 2.4 is the branch with the QT work being done. The program's GUI is going through a complete overhaul. This is to allow it to be fully functional from the command line without the need to have an X Session going (graphic session running), making it handy for work on headless machines where you are only accessing through a terminal. In the process of rewriting all the GUI code, they decided to move to QT4. Though I am not entirely sure why, I personally see no real problems with this, beyond the fact I need to switch from learning GTK to QT4.

There are no real "improvements" yet, meaning there are no big functionality features added. Any bugfixes that are found are also pushed into the stable 2.3 version, but currently 2.4 is mostly just getting a makeover, with most or all of the code being moved to QT4.

Since QT4 has a much more open liscense, it will work in Win32 systems just fine (as compared to QT3). Does that answer your questions?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

yup. thanks for explaining!

[SadaraX]

So it appears that Mean has begun to include the B Pyramid into the H.264/X264 system. I am not sure how far it is from completion, however I figure I should ask for some screen captures of what the GUI's for B Pyramids look like, so that I can use them for reference.

I do not think this feature will necessarily be available for 2.3 (it might, I could be wrong). However I will probably have to help remake the X264 interface into QT4 for version 2.4....

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I always thought the "B-Frames -> Use as Reference" setting (already in Avidemux for a long time) enables B-Pyramid *confused*

The x264 codec is capable of using the B-frame pyramid feature to “Use [B-frames] as references”

It is just a fix when encoding to mp4 file format with B-pyramid enabled.
In that case, more delay is added/needed and you could end up with computed dts > computed pts.
The fix just recomputes the pts when b-pyramid is set to take into account the extra delay.
The effects of the bug was frames were dropped.

Avis have only dts (i.e no pts), so they were not affected by the bug

I've just installed Avidemux 2.3.0 final and replaced libx264.dll with up-to-date version.

Then I noticed that some x264 settings are not set properly!

New threading method:
Encode multiple frames in prallel instead of dividing each frame into slices.
Improves speed, and reduces the bitrate penalty of threading.

Side effects:
It is no longer possible to re-encode a frame, so threaded scenecut detection
must run in the pre-me pass, which is faster but less precise.
It is now useful to use more threads than you have cpus. --threads=auto has
been updated to use cpus*1.5.
Minor changes to ratecontrol.

New options: --pre-scenecut, --mvrange-thread, --non-deterministic


Will those changes make it into Avidemux too ???
I guess simply replacing libx264.dll with the an up-to-date build won't be enough...

Avidemux 2.3 (rev2652) doesn't work with x264 rev611 :(

I replaced libx264.dll with Celtic's latest build. (x264.revision611.7z (http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/x264/x264.revision611.7z))
After that I needed to add pthreadGC2.dll to make Avidemux start.

"This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way!"

OK I think I know why (At least with one method).

Avidemux refuses to run on machines run via Remote Desktop. If I go to the actual PC and run it it will run. But as soon as I login to that PC via remote desktop it crashes with the error I posted. It also refuses to run with the same error on THIS PC. Even when I make sure the resolution is 32bit. I believe it is something to do with the way Avidemux is interacting with certain graphics cards and drivers. I am using a beta version of NVidia's drivers on this PC.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Interesting experience with Avidemux and x264:
The FPS display of Avidemux is rather unprecise, but with Mean's built of libx264.dll (included with Avidemux 2.3+ Xmas release) I get "1 FPS". Then I tried Celtic Druis built of libx264.dll, which is about ~260 KB smaller. I had to add "pthreadGC2.dll" to make it work, but now Avidemux shows "2 FPS". So it seems to be faster! Both x264 builds are rev614 and both time I encoded same file with same filters...

I guess I'll stick to Celtic's build :D

No, the .7z file contains everything you'll need for Avidemux!
But you'll have to install the GTK+ runtime, if you have not done that yet.

I got an error when I try to encode in x264 with build 2727, message is:

http://img166.imageshack.us/img166/6767/errorrf6.jpg


Same thing happens when I choose FAAC for audio, or try to change x264 default settings. Same error is there when I try to encode in AVI container.

[DarkZell666]

I get the same error with x264+mp3 in MP4.

I also get "incompatible output format" when I try to put x264+mp3 in "MPEG TS A+V", except that VLC can produce h264+mp3 in TS (using ffmpeg api), so the question is: is it a GUI related error or core encoder/muxer error ? (Note: it's been like that from the beginning, it's not new).

Edit: stderr.txt and stdout.txt only refer to events that happend manipulating the program, no info about the start of the encoding in my case ...

Well, Mean said that 2.4 branch is still pretty unstable :rolleyes:
Guess we'll have to wait a little more...

[SadaraX]

Hey Guys. So I am working on updating the x264 GUI. But i need some input...

First, I need to know what the are for these VBV options:
*Maximum local bitrate
*VBV buffer size
*Initial VBV Buffer occupancy

What are the input number ranges for each? 0 to 100?
What is their increment step for each (0.1? 1? 10?).

I only ask because I cannot get to a GUI to see what other programmers have used.

Next, I am still looking for information on this option, but what is DCT decimate? I have no idea what it does and I need to get a concise one line description so I can add it to the GUI.

EDIT 1: Also, we are adding a combobox with predefined video aspect ratios for quick uses. What aspect ratios do you guys want programmed? I am thinking of the following:
* 16:9
* 4:3
* 1:1

Anything else?

EDIT 2: I am also adding custom matrices to the GUI. Does anyone know of a good x264 GUI with a custom matrices dialog that will run under wine? I need to do some number lookup for the ranges.... otherwise I will have to ask you guys again. :P

[DarkZell666]

From x264 help:
--vbv-maxrate <integer> Max local bitrate (kbit/s) [0]
--vbv-bufsize <integer> Enable CBR and set size of the VBV buffer (kbit) [0]
--vbv-init <float> Initial VBV buffer occupancy [0.9](default values are between []).

I'm pretty sure the --vbv-init value should be between 0 and 1, steps of 0.1 being sufficient imho.
Note: If maxrate is specified, bufsize is mandatory for vbv to work correctly.

For display aspect ratios (DAR value, not SAR) :

1:1
4/3 (1.3333)
16/9 (1.7888)
[?:?] (1.85)
[?:?] (2.35)

The SAR value offered by x264 doesn't mean the same thing:

For a given 480x480 encode, it'll stretch to 640x480 on playback if the SAR is 4:3, but a completely wierd 384x480 encode will need a 1.667:1 SAR to stretch to 640x480. So predefining SAR values means asking "what anamorphic resolutions do people generally encode to ?", and since I don't encode anamorphic I can't help you further :p

I'll at least suggest the following SAR values :

71:50 (1.4222:1) (for anamorphic PAL 720x576 => 1024x576 (16/9 DAR))
107:100 (1.0666:1) (for anamorphic PAL 720x576 => 768x576 (4/3 DAR))

I'm not too sure about the NTSC stuff :)
Idea: If the x264 part of the GUI has access to the input video resolution (once resized, if filters are used), maybe the combobox should be called "target DAR", then the GUI should calculate the most accurate SAR automatically. The Combobox would include the DAR's I mentionned above (and more if others complain :p).

I have a question about the x264 options: why is the "save default" button grayed, and why are the options never saved when I exit/restart avidemux ? is it a complete WIP dialog ? or is there something I missed ?

I hope my 0.02€ helped, & thanks for your work on the GUI, Avidemux gets better by the hour :)

Where is this mysterious help you are referencing? I would like to read it.

As for your last request, I am not sure how complicated that would be, but I do not feel right asking Mean to program that right now. Maybe in the future, but for the moment I really just want to get the rest of the x264 features added.

I never encode anything with Anamorphic but someone about 6 months ago asked for a feature like this (menu with predefined ratios). I do not know if this is something that should really be included at this moment.

I have a question about the x264 options: why is the "save default" button grayed, and why are the options never saved when I exit/restart avidemux ? is it a complete WIP dialog ? or is there something I missed ?

Oh yeah. That.... Well, the x264 Configure GUI was designed around the same time the "Custom" menu was added. Since the "Custom" menu can do the same job as "save defaults" would do, the functions for the buttons were never implemented. In fact, I have removed the other two buttons since like you said, they have never been enabled.

[DarkZell666]

I simply did "x264 --longhelp" (but I'm on Win32 and you seem not to be ;)).

Here goes : <dead link removed>
I Hope this helps :)

Btw CQM's maximum coefficient values is "255". So using an unsigned 8bit int should be enough :p Dunno about the minimum coefficient, but probably "1" would be correct (not necessarily useful, but at least standards compliant, and I'm note sure about 0). The minimum I've seen is "4" (in the top left corner), in *.mp4 guy's matrices (here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=887125#post887125).

[SadaraX]

I am almost done making any update changes to the GUI. All that is left is the custom matrix editing window. MeGUI does not have any good reference for me. Can someone tell me the name of a program that has a custom matrix editor window, and possibly some screen shots?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Quantization Matrices for H.264 look like this:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=96298

So I think the GUI from the screenshot is suitable for x264.
It only needs the Combobox, which is grayed out on the screenshot, to choose one of those values:
4X4_LUMA, 4X4_CHROMAU, 4X4_CHROMAV, 8X8_LUMA
For 4x4 matrices, the unnecessary Edit Fileds need to be grayed out, of course.


// EDIT

Maybe it would be usefull if you also add a button to load a matrix from file.

I have no idea where or what I got this x264 screen capture from. But if someone can tell me where that is from from, it would be very helpful. The custom matrix window is the only part of the new x264 update I am not finished with. :(

I just noticed that there's a huge difference in Video Quality between Avidemux and VirtualDub!
In Avidemux the same video looks much worse than in VirtualDub :(

Here are two screenshots that clearly show the difference:
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/3768/videovdubla4.png
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4151/videoadmbt5.png

Especially have a look at her hair and at the frame in the background.

The input file is a MPEG-2 file, captured from analog TV.
In both applications it's the exactly same input file and the same frame!
No filters enabled, no resize. Just the unchanged original video.

// EDIT

Here is another test:

Once the video directly from MPEG-2 input file:
http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/3327/capvduboj8.png
And now the video as exported (lossless, unprocessed) from Avidemux:

Both shots taken in VirtualDub.
Again quality much worse in the video that was exported from Avidemux!

Do you have post processing disabled in both of them?

Otherwise you are going to have talk with Mean.

I know there is an issue (not sure if it is a bug) in the color systems, which I have pointed out (I even pin-pointed the problem source file).

There no filters used in both applications and Avidemux's post-processing is completely disabled.
Doesn't seem to me that it's a color problem. The file exported from Avidemux to VDub doesn't show any difference in color, but still the quality is worse. Seems to be either a MPEG-2 decoder problem or the video is "filtered" in some way it shouldn't...

[Gusar]

Is it fixed, if you go Edit->Preferences->Input and tick 'Use libavcodec MPEG decoder'?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Okay, I have checked with AviSynth now instead of VirtualDub-MPEG2, and it's getting even more strange!

When I use DGIndex to create the .d2v file, the video looks the same as directly imported in VirtualDub-MPEG2 - very few chroma artifacts.
But when I make an AviSynth script with MPEG2Source(<path to .d2v>) and open in VirtualDub, it suddenly looks like in Avidemux - more chroma artifacts!

Nevertheless colors in Avidemux still are very different from anything I've seen in VirtualDub...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

There seems to be a problem with Avidemux.org

I get this "Lecture/Envoi d'emails" site, instead of Avidemux homepage.
Seems to happen only sometimes. When I try again later, the homepage returns.

Had this problem several times now...

Just reset my internet connection and it's solved for now :confused:

Avidemux 2.4 Revision 2811
http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/r2811_win32.zip

The previous build was broken, this one seems to work fore me :D

[DarkZell666]

Quick note: the previous problems reported about x264-in-mp4 and so on are at least partially solved (I'm encoding x264+aac in mp4 right now, and it seems to be working again).

Edit:
All these output combinations work perfectly now:
- xvid+mp3 in MP4
- xvid+aac in MP4
- x264+mp3 in MP4
- x264+aac in MP4.

This is just such a great news !

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Avidemux 2.4 Revision 2814
First install r2811_win32.zip (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/r2811_win32.zip), then update to r2814.zip (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/r2814.zip) :)

This update is a quick fix for the "Median 5x5" filter. Very nice to clean Chroma Noise from analog material!
Also the video is displayed at the right position now, when "SDL Accelerated" is selected for Video output.

// EDIT

DarkZell666, I got a question: Do your "x264+mp3 in MP4" files play properly in *all* players?
I did a quick test an the result was, that it played 100% fine in MPlayer, but MPC didn't play any sound :(
For the test I used latest MPC build, latest ffdshow-tryouts and latest Haalli Splitter.
Nevertheless "x264+faac in MP4" didn't show such problems ...

// EDIT²

I have reported the problem in detail:
http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?pid=17066#p17066

[LoRd_MuldeR]

It seems that the "objectTypeIndication" is the problem with mp3 audio in MP4 and Avidemux!

Avidemux uses an objectTypeIndication of 107, while MP4Box will use 105.
Haali's Splitter doesn't recognize the objectTypeIndication of 105 for some reason.

Works 100% fine with MPlayer and VLC Media Player...

There is no multi-language support in the current version.

I got no idea if Mean is planning such feature. Why not just ask him directly?
But I think it's enough work to get everything work, even without multi-language...

Is it so hard to understand Avidemux in English language?
Even stupid me can handle that *g*

I know there are some translations of Avidemux into some languages. I believe J.M. does a few of them. Let me see...

On my system Avidemux is available in French, Spanish, Klingon (that my be a joke, but the file is there), Russian, and Czech (I think).

[celtic_druid]

There are *.po files for several languages. Klingon is empty though. Looks like French, German, Russian and Czech are ok though.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

@LoRd_MuldeR
No, but everyone does not speak English.

Of course you are right.

But most commands you need to know in Avidemux are simple words like "Open", "Append", "Save" and so on. Even if you don't speak English at all, you should be able to cope with that. Especially if you worked with similar tools before. And don't forget that English is still the "default" language in Computer Science. I doubt you will get far without English in this profession...

Anyway, problem seems to be solved now *g*

[Henrikx]

@LoRd_MuldeR
And don't forget that English is still the "default" language in Computer Science
The statement is not correct starting out from Conrad Zuse.But this is not the topic.
I translated for the ones who do not speak any English.
German MeGUI-WIKI ,AvsP,Smplayer.
Language barriers should not exclude.
What you find simple is perhaps complicated for the other one.
Therefore I have asked the question.

I've been playing with AVIDemux by encoding to the PSP Full Res format and I really like how easy it is to do this.

What I don't like though is that all the videos are tagged with "Avidemux" as the name of the video.

Can some tag editing features be added to the program please? Just some way to choose the filename as the tag/title of the video would be fine with me.

Also, is there a way to script the Auto -> PSP Full Res settings? I'd like to just make scripts for the Custom menu with appropriate names to match what I want done. Like "PSP Full Res 100MB" "PSP Full Res 1000Kbps" and just change the x264 settings.

Right now in order to do what I want I have to go to the Auto menu and select PSP Full Res then press OK. Then I have to load my custom x264 settings.

I just want to be able to go to Custom -> My Custom Setting and have it all done in one step.

Wow, he finished making the PSP stuff work? I thought that was going to be broken for a while... heh, I guess I missed stuff when the Avidemux forums were down.

I have no idea what is causing that, because i have never used it. But I will have a look in a while, you might get better results by asking on the Avidemux forums.

This time r2847_win32.zip (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/r2847_win32.zip) is a complete package including GTK+ and CLI version.

A few new features:
- ability to save as packed bitstream (you should ALWAYS depack when loading, and just save as packed or unpacked). Avidemux needs it unpacked internally whatever the output format is.
- much better bitrate histogram, also gives max & average bitrate ,nb of consecutive B frame, # of I/B/P frames

That one has been compiled with gcc4 experimental svn branch use at our own risk your house gonna burn

This build fixes the "Libavcodec has been miscompiled" warning that appeared in stderr.txt with previous builds.
Please check if it works stable and report back...

[DarkZell666]

In the 2 or 3 most recent builds, using vorbis causes the encoding to stall at the beginning (crashing Avidemux). Opening the calculator also crashes AviDemux with a c++ error in audioencoder_vorbis.cpp @ line 124. (Other audio formats don't suffer this problem).

I'll try the latest builds more in depth, but there's always a setting or another that isn't saved on exit. Actually, the "save preferences on exit" setting isn't saved, so I wouldn't be surprised if that had something to do with it :p

The vorbis problem doesn't seem to always happen. Btw I've just opened an xvid+mp3 avi with packed bitstream. I unpacked it, and I can't reencode the video because the video codec combobox is grayed, and locked on "Copy".
***Re-edit: the video codec combobox only grays when I choose "avi, unp. vop" or "avi, Pack vop" output formats. Is it normal ?
***Re-edit again: the vorbis encoder crash only happens once I saved my work as a project or if I re-load the project I've just saved. Otherwise it doesn't crash (and other formats still don't have the problem, so "project+vorbis" is no go ATM).

[LoRd_MuldeR]

The vcodec combobox must be grayed when "avi, unp. vop" or "avi, Pack vop" is selected, because in this mode Avidemux will pack/unpack the bitstream. This cannot be done at the same time as the encoding. If you have a packed bitstream AVI, you must first unpack it and then use then load unpacked file to do the work. Afterwards you can re-pack if you need to...

About the "project+vorbis" bug: I think if you send a bug report to Mean, he will be able to fix it. I guess it's the project file which is either not written or read properly. Maybe you should send your project file too.

I don't know how (un)packing worked in older versions, since I never do that. Maybe older versions just did not prevent improper usage of "avi, unp. vop" or "avi, Pack vop". Might also be possible that the latest changes to the (un)pack code make a difference...

I don't really understand the purpos of pack or unpack bitstream !

Could someone explain it to me, I look here and there but don't get it ?

PS: When avidemux ask me if I want to unpack, I always say no since the file saved is still playeable...

Well, "packed bitstream" has something to with the way the different Frame types (I-Frames, P-Frames and B-Frames) are stored in the AVI file. In packed AVI's several frames are packed together into one "big" frame and dummy frames are inserted to keep the number of frames. Later the decoder will unpack those packed frames and display each frame at the correct time, the dummy frames will just be skipped. So while a normal AVI will have frames stored like this "1-2-3-4-5", a packed AVI will contain "p-d-d-d-d" where p is the packed frame that contains all the frames from 1 to 5 and the d's are dummy frames. When reading a normal AVI, the decoder will read frame 1 from the AVI file, then display frame 1, then read frame 2 from the AVI, then display frame 2, then read frame 3 from the AVI, then display frame 3 and so on. With packed bitstream the deocoder will read a "packed" frame from the AVI and thus get a bunch of frames at the same time (for example all frames from 1 to 5). Of course the decoder will display only the first of those frames, the rest will be kept in memory. When the next "dummy" frame is ready form the AVI, the decoder will discard the dummy frame and instead display one of the frames that are already in memory. This is done until all of the frames in memory have been displayed. Then another "packed" frame is read from the AVI, followed by a series of dummy frames. And so on. I hope you understand. It's a little bit confusing.

Packed bitstream is a "hack" introduced by DivX in order to workaround a limitation in the VfW interface (VirtualDub). It was needed to support B-Frames, because VfW isn't suitable for B-Frames. Packed bitstream is ugly and it's to be avoided at all costs! Nevertheless sometimes you have packed AVI's (for example AVI's made with VirtualDub/DivX) and want to edit them. In this case "unpacking" is required before editing in Avidemux...

[IceManZ]

Thanks a lot LoRd_MuldeR for your time and your awesome answer! Really interesting. I finaly understand. :)

PS: But why "Packed bitstream is ugly and it's to be avoided at all costs!" if in the end the result is the same (only if we own a standaloneplayer without Packed bitstream support)

[mean]

Because the resulting stream is incorrect
It will be like that (number between () is timestamp)

P(4) b(1)--b(2)--b(3)--NVOP(4)

you insert an extra frames (which is bad) and it has the same timestamp as its reference frame

and some version of xvid sometimes forget to set the nvop/dummy frames
so in total you have 1000 frames while physically you have 1010 for example

Well, can I unpack packed bitstream from MPEG4 Xvid source without fear, because I am planning to encode Xvid to x264 via Avidemux?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Well, can I unpack packed bitstream from MPEG4 Xvid source without fear, because I am planning to encode Xvid to x264 via Avidemux?

Yes, as far as I understand this would be the way to go:
1. Open your XviD AVI in Avidemux
2. If Avidemux says that your AVI is packed, let Avidemux unpack it
3. Open the unpacked AVI and encode with x264

I think support for raw .h264 streams is still a pretty new feature.

Can anyone confirm encoding with x264 in avidemux is much slower in avidemux that it is via x264.exe ?

I'm encoding a 512x384 sample right now, and it won't go over 8fps even with method="diamond", and "partition decision=1- Extremely low" (equivalent to --subme 1 and -me dia), whereas with the cli (input via avisynth) it goes over 20fps without any problem. Cpu usage is over 90% ...

One of the suppositions that come to my mind would be the decoding part of avidemux is hogging the CPU far too much (post-processing is disabled btw).

Did you set multi-threading correctly in Avidemux?
What is your input file? If it is MPEG-2, what decoder did you select?

Nevertheless I also got the impression that encoding in Avidemux is a little slow in the last time :confused:

Source was an xvid+mp3 avi file, and I didn't set any multithreading since I have a pentium 4 (2,4ghz) @work. Btw, when I go and change the number of threads, close the dialog, and re-check the number of threads, it stays to 0 :confused:

And I've just checked encoding with XviD too:same problem, it doesn't go over 13fps, but it should be going somewhere round 25fps ... (512x384 video, MSP=5, no vhq, no trellis ...).

LoRd_MuldeR, I've been able to reproduce your error. You must be using the new option for external filters. :)

It seems the current make files do not link avidemux correctly to support this feature when using MinGW. I've made a few changes to fix it and will forward Mean a patch soon (along with a few other MinGW tweaks).

If you're interested, I've built r2901 with my changes. It also includes x264 r635.

This build was contributed by gruntster. It cantains GTK+, QT and CLI version.
Also this build updates some libraries (including x264) to latest version.

Warning: This build makes my PC crash as soon as I start encoding. Can others confirm?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

gruntster, you build crashes on my computer as soon as I start encoding. Avidemux just disappears, couldn't find any useful info in the log files.
Once it even made my PC reboot, right when I started the encoding process :scared: :confused:

I use GTK+ version and I tried to do some MPEG-2 to H.264 conversion (with a bunch of filters)


// EDIT

Went back to Mean's Preview-1 build and everything works fine again. Any ideas?

[gruntster]

I think I've found the problem. It seems to be a bug introduced in x264 r634.

SSE2 instructions now seem to be mandatory. Judging from the SVN description (conflate HAVE_MMXEXT with HAVE_SSE2, since they were never used distinctly), I don't think this change was intentional.

People with SSE2 capable CPUs shouldn't be affected.

I'll roll x264 back to r633 and build vanilla and SSE2 versions. I'll also try to include vanilla, SSE2 and SSE3 versions of Aften.

Hopefully have another build for you tomorrow.

I've just put together a small tool called ADM Tools.
It currently does two things: Priority Management and Automated Shutdown.

It's very easy to use, at least I hope so. Just run 'adm_tools.exe' and see yourself ;)
Note the System Tray Icon, it's located on your Taskbar right next to the clock!

Known limitation: Doesn't work with certain translations, currently "CS" and "RU".
That's because both of them don't have a proper caption on their 'Encoding in Progress' window.
Maybe something the translators can fix for future version ???

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Although R644 is available, anything after R641 causes Avidemux to crash immediately upon encoding.

This might be due to another API change, maybe? :confused:
The "extreme cqms" problem mentioned in the log shouldn't be a problem in Avidemux, as long as you don't load a certain cqm, right?

Nevertheless "2x faster quant, 2% overall" sounds really promising, so I hope there will be a way...

Yea, it should be possible. And I doubt it's much work.

I'm posting just to let you know I've just tried your latest ADM tools and it seems to work without any fuss. When the encoding starts, avidemux's priority switches to "below normal", and when the encode finishes, it switches back to "normal".

I'm surprised you decided to make the adm_tools.exe process "above normal" priority though, is there any particular reason ? It doesn't bother me the least because it doesn't actually do anything (it just sits there monitoring avidemux2_gtk.exe), I'm just being curious =) Is it "necessary" in order to catch the avidemux more accurately or something like that ?

PS: Quickly reading your pdf version, I fell on a couple of typos :rolleyes:. I'll have a more extensive read later on when I've finished my workload for today =)

The priority of adm_tools.exe should even be "high", not only "above normal". I did this, because the tool is checking for the "Encoding in Progress" Form to appear. Currently the check will be performed constantly every 1500 milliseconds. So I wanted to make sure no other CPU hungry app will "delay" the checkings. I'm not sure if this required at all, but as far as I can see, the CPU usage of adm_tools.exe is negligible anyway (ProcExp shows the total CPU time of adm_tools.exe is far below one second and doesn't increase) So I guess the higher priority won't hurt :)

BTW: You can test the "Automated Shutdown" feature safely! It won't shutdown your computer immediately. There is a countdown of 60 seconds and you can abort it at any time :cool:

PS: If you find any typos or bad English, please tell me. So I can correct ASAP...

Avidemux v2.4 Revision 2926 with working FAAC
http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=guestbook&app=avidemux&file=latest&mirror=brhack

This package is a re-build of previous build. This time FAAC should work.

[DarkZell666]

Hmm FAAC "worked" for me with the last build you had mirrored (except for the "no-sound-in-mpc & wmp" problem because of that objectTypeIdentification stuff). No crash what so ever. Oh well :rolleyes: Upgrading now ^^

Edit: just saw your post about the b0rked bitrate, great news :)

Avidemux v2.4 Revision 2934
http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=guestbook&app=avidemux&file=latest&mirror=brhack

This build includes a new deinterlacing filter: Yadif (Yet Another DeInterlacing Filter)
It was ported form MPlayer to Avisynth by Fizick and then ported form Avisynth to Avidemux by Mean.
Yadif can do both: Keep the number of frames (like KernelDeint/TDeint) or framerate-doubling/bobbing (like DGBob)
While Yadif seems to give pretty nice results, it's also very fast. More info can be found in this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=124284) thread.

Also this time I have mirrored Gruntster's new installer, instead of using 'zip2exe' tool.

:thanks:

[DarkZell666]

A couple of observations recently :

Gruntster's two latest builds encode FAAC alone (video=copy) at something like 250fps. Much faster than the 140fps from the official 2.4-prev1 build. Good job =)

However, the volume of the audio encoded by FAAC is louder than the original. See my post here: http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?pid=18323#p18323

All revisions/builds seem to be affected.

Avidemux 2.4 R2945 is now available here:
http://www.razorbyte.com.au/avidemux

The Avidemux executables are larger because a higher compiler optimisation level is now used. This should hopefully result in a speed increase.

The installer now uses improved compression so it's actually smaller than the last release.

http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=guestbook&app=avidemux&file=latest&mirror=brhack

Thanks Gruntster. Nice you have added my ADM Tools to your installer.
But I think the Shortcut for GTK+ version should point to adm_tools.exe if the user checks AMD Tools in the installer.
Of course ADM Tools should be checked by default ;)


BTW: I doubt there will be much speedup due to compiler optimizations. Avidemux uses most decoders/encoders from libavcodec, which is highly "Hand Optimized" with Assembler code. Same applies to x264. So the most speedup (if any) is to be expected with certain filters that are plain C-Code...

BTW 2: To get H.264 video from MP4 to AVI container, I'd use MP4Box to extract RAW H.264 stream and then mux to AVI via avc2avi commandline-tool. Then add the Audio stream via AVI-Mux GUI.

BTW 3: Did you think of 'packing' the EXE's and maybe the larger DLL's with UPX before compiling the installer? This will definitely make the installer a little bigger, as compressing already compressed files isn't good, but it should make Avidemux startup faster: The time you save by loading the smaller UPX'd executables from HDD to RAM is more than you loose for UPX' decompression step inside RAM.

[IceManZ]

Same here.

But in earlier build I could mux with no trouble video (H.264, XiVD,...) + MP3 to AVI but not to MP4.

With 2945, neither AVI or MP4 work

Are you encoding in Avidemux or do you want to re-mux an existing file? In the latter case, what is the source container?

[IceManZ]

Only re-mux

Source are avi (only video) + MP3.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Only re-mux

I just tried to remux an AVI (H.264 + MP3) to MP4 in Avidemux.
The resulting MP4 plays fine in MPlayer, but no video in MPC+Haali+ffdshow :(

[IceManZ]

Yes. Same here. A new build, 2948, is out.

Can't try it, since can't compil it.

When you run adm_tools.exe then avidemux2_gtk.exe runs only in english (language ignored)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

When you run adm_tools.exe then avidemux2_gtk.exe runs only in english (language ignored)

That is correct. I have to enforce the ENGLISH translation by setting the environment variables accordingly. The problem is, that in some translations the caption of the "Encoding in process..." window is just blank (empty string), which makes it impossible to detect that window...

[gruntster]

The problem is, that in some translations the caption of the "Encoding in process..." window is just blank (empty string), which makes it impossible to detect that window...


There seems to be a bug somewhere, maybe in GTK that prevents window captions from being displayed because "Encoding in process" exists in all translations. From what I can tell the issue seems to only affect non-Latin character sets. Unless it's a font issue but window labels display ok...

I can't find anything similiar on Google about it.

Anyone else come across this?

[DarkZell666]

I thought that thanks to Unicode & UTF-8 all this "codepage translation" business was over ... If the translations are stored in an UTF-8 file (instead of ANSI or latin-X) and that avidemux becomes UTF-8 aware (if it isn't already), the problem should be solved. Fonts would need to be Unicode-aware too, but having some squares displayed instead wouldn't stop the window from being detectable ...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

This version of ADM Tools supports translations now:
http://mulder.brhack.net/public/downloads/ADM_Tools.2007-04-18.zip

Change the translation with the provided .reg files. CS and RU are not supported yet...

[gruntster]

I thought that thanks to Unicode & UTF-8 all this "codepage translation" business was over ...

The GTK runtimes don't seem to be fully Unicode compliant. Using an API spy, CreateWindowExA is used to create windows so I'd assume only ANSI captions will be handled correctly. Perhaps the maintainer forgot to set a UNICODE preprocessor flag when compiling and therefore CreateWindowEx doesn't get mapped to CreateWindowExW.

Other Windows packages that use GTK+ suffer from the same problem, including GIMP.

I'll try to chase it further.

EDIT:
The latest SVN version of GTK uses CreateWindowExW explicilty. Looks like we'll have to wait for the next GTK release before the Russian and Czech translations will work correctly.

[Jalavera]

Sounds great! Thanx

I'll check it asap!

[gruntster]

Is it possible for ADM Tools to detect when the regional settings are set to Czech or Russian and automatically set the LANG environment variable to English? :)

The GetThreadLocale API should be able to tell you this info.

hmm, how reliable is GetThreadLocale when you can overwrite the locale with Environment Variables ???
I guess I'd have to check both...

Yes, both would be nice. :D

However, at least the environment variables can be managed by the user on a per application basis if need be via a batch file whereas regional settings seem to be a global thing.

gruntster could you compile r2953 it should make Avidemux now HDV compatible too, oh boy i love it :)

also i found another interoperability problem but im not sure where this arises from yet but it's a very interesting problem that can couse a slowdown on playback with Cyberlinks H.264 Decoder (only in DXVA mode) and certain .mp4 files (CoreAVC is ok) im still investigating if it's coming from Avidemux Mp4 muxer part, Haalis Media Splitter (maybe somekind of timestamp problem wich couses some buffer problem after some seconds of playback) or Cyberlinks Decoder itself.
Also it seems Cyberlinks Decoder has a pading problem the same that XviD's/Neros decoder had ages ago (only in DXVA mode).

Edit: Seems to be entirely a Bug inside Cyberlinks Decoder and DXVA

Uploading right now...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thanks again! Maybe you can make your installer remember the install folder?

This should do the trick:
InstallDirRegKey HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Avidemux 2.4" "InstallDirectory"

Section "Some Section"
WriteRegStr HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Avidemux 2.4" "InstallDirectory" "$INSTDIR"
SectionEnd

[gruntster]

For some reason InstallDirRegKey doesn't like LangStrings (???)


LangString INTERNALNAME ${LANG_NEUTRAL} "Avidemux 2.4"

!define REGKEY "SOFTWARE\$(INTERNALNAME)"
InstallDirRegKey HKLM "${REGKEY}" Path


Anyway, an extra line seems to solve:


!define INTERNALNAME "Avidemux 2.4"
LangString INTERNALNAME ${LANG_NEUTRAL} "${INTERNALNAME}"

!define REGKEY "SOFTWARE\${INTERNALNAME}"
InstallDirRegKey HKLM "${REGKEY}" Path


I'll include the fix in the next SVN revision build.

:thanks:

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Do you think it's a good idea to use language strings for "internal" constants, like RegKeys ???
They are not visible to the (regular) user anyway and they should be the same on any system, no matter which locale.

I'd suggest to use a GUID as Key-Name and put everything to the "Uninstall" key.
This way name conflicts are avoided for sure and we only need one RegKey.

So I would do it this way:

# This is a "real" GUID
!define ADM_GUID "{3f95441f-0fda-4a8b-893c-85b36ad2320b}"

InstallDirRegKey HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${ADM_GUID}" "InstallDirectory"

# Main Installer Section
Section "Core files"

(...)

WriteRegStr HKLM "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\${ADM_GUID}" "InstallDirectory" "$INSTDIR"
SectionEnd


Just my point of view :)


// EDIT

I changed the Program Icon of ADM Tools to the new one from Gruntster's build:
http://mulder.brhack.net/public/downloads/ADM_Tools.2007-04-20.zip

[gruntster]

The RegKeys will now use the constant but I also need the LangString to use for other areas. I could give the constant and string different names but the net result will be the same because they're referred to with different syntax. I'll have another look at it if I get time but at the end of the day I think it's cosmetic.

I understand what you're getting at with the GUID idea. I've currently stuck with the layout generated by EclipseNSIS.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I understand what you're getting at with the GUID idea. I've currently stuck with the layout generated by EclipseNSIS.

Well, NSIS is really easy to use and the docs are detailed.
So I made all my installers with a simple Text Editor, Notepad++ to be precise.

Can you explain why you need Language Strings for the Registry Keys ???

[gruntster]

EclipseNSIS is great for producing a quick skeleton of well laid out code. It also integrates nicely with Eclipse and provides syntax highlighting and command lookups. I still prefer MSI based apps but that's a different story...

As I mentioned earlier, I no longer use LangStrings for the reg keys. They now use the defined constant (enclosed in curly braces not brackets).

Is the MP4 container output broken in avidemux?

I've seen your Wiki page about the settings but it doesn't really go into details about the command line settings they match.

I'm not aware of such a list.

But the settings available in Avidemux are (more or less) identical to the descriptions of the command-line parameters.
So if you use "x264.exe --longhelp", read the description and search for the same option in Avidemux, you should find something.

Also this site might be helpful, as it mentions the command-line params:

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Feature request:
Extract streams from AVI/MP4 containers to raw streams.
Yeah like demux not remux!!

You can extract a video stream to RAW by setting the output format to "MPEG Video"
Nevertheless I'd recommend to use MP4Box/YAMB to extract streams from AVI or MP4 container...

[j4gg3r]

Tested good extracting h.264 from an AVI container.

Yamb can't handle AVI with *.264 and same format converted to MP4 with AVIDemux dosn't work with Hali/MPC MP4 splitters.

But using MPEG Video like you said to extract to *.264 then Muxing to MP4 works good with Hali/MPC splitters.

I was able to use ffdshow VFW H.264 in VDub to encode and output a raw *.264 stream. But now I can get a raw *.264 stream out of an AVI X264 becomes usable in Vdub too.

Extracting H.264 steams from AVI works fine with YAMB/MP4Box here :confused:

If you want to mux H.264 into AVI then you need to use the "avc2avi" tool.

I was able to use ffdshow VFW H.264 in VDub to encode and output a raw *.264 stream. But now I can get a raw *.264 stream out of an AVI X264 becomes usable in Vdub too.

Using H.264 via VfW (VirtualDub) is bad idea :devil:

Gr8 stuff this is ! Gotta go back do some more testing now :p

Actually, I'm trying to get CodeBlocks to work with QT4 so I can start coding a quick&dirty IRC client (and train myself to c++ again before I get into reading the Avidemux code ...).

Nice to see some official mkv support, mean deserves a warm thank you I guess ;)

Non-linear mkv editing at long last. Mean makes my heart go all aflutter. ^_^ That will be such a relief for some formerly very manual processes.

[j4gg3r]

If you want to mux H.264 into AVI then you need to use the "avc2avi" tool.

No I'm not wanting to do that, I just want to be able to extract H.264/AVC out of AVI's and into MP4 containers.
Doing it as you suggested earlier with AVIDemux and MPEG Video container give me the RAW H.264/AVC i'm after.

One question thou, I made an H.264 in AVI and outputed a RAW H.264 using ffdshow in VDubMod at the same time.

When I extracted the H.264 out of the AVI using AVIDemux a hex compare showed the 2 raw streams to be exactly the same except the one extracted from the AVI had some 26 kilobytes missing from the end of the file.

Any ideas as what would be missing?

EDIT:
Maybe VDubMod cutting end of AVI output back to last I frame whilst ffdshow continues to output all the P/B frames to the RAW file?

Libdca and amrnb aren’t distributed with Avidemux due to patent right issues.
However, since r3091, Avidemux 2.4 can automatically detect and use these libraries once they’re installed.

So if you’d like to decode DTS and AMR-NB soundtracks with Avidemux, download the libraries from here:
http://www.mytempdir.com/1328813

To install, just drop them in your Avidemux 2.4 folder.
To check they’re installed correctly, have a look at the Help -> Built-in Support window in Avidemux.

[DarkZell666]

Can someone confirm that mp4 to avi remuxing is broken ? Actually, the whole avi muxer seems unstable to me ATM, I've ran into other problems recently too ...

Check for the details here: http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=3243

So many updates these days btw, this is good news :D

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Actually, the whole avi muxer seems unstable to me ATM, I've ran into other problems recently too ...

Are you referring to Re-Muxing only or also to AVI's created in Avidemux itself?
I make a lot of H.264/MP3 AVI's in Avidemux and didn't see any problems so far...

BTW: If you only want to remux, MP4Box/Yamb + AVI-Mux GUI seems to be a stable solution for me...

[DarkZell666]

Remuxing only, and even avi to avi remuxing works, so it was MP4-to-AVI specific. Mean stated it was fixed in r3102 anyway so that's out of the way :p

In fact, I was hunting for bugs precisely hoping to fall on stuff like this since using other software to work around a bug is something I don't like doing, I prefer contacting the author to get it fixed so everyone can profit from it ;)

[wata]

have 2 custom x264 with different settings

custom only work once
the setting remain the same as the first one even when you choose another custom file.

[Gromozeka]

Why custom matrices not work?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Why custom matrices not work?

It's not implemented yet, I think...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

What about moving this thread to "VirtualDub, VDubMod & AviDemux" sub-forum and (optionally) make it sticky?

[Gromozeka]

It's not implemented yet, I think...

But why nevertheless it does not work?

[DarkZell666]

@Gromozeka : I think you don't know what "implemented" means then :)

"Not implemented" precisely means "hasn't been coded to work yet". So "why it hasn't been coded to work yet" has an easy answer : the devs lack some time, or they decided matrices weren't a priority for them :)

Also, from what SadaraX posted, he seems to lack some information about CQM's (though I wonder what could be missing them, some fixed-size grids with positive 8-bit integers inside shouldn't be hard to implement imho ...).

@LoRd_MuldeR : about the vdub&avidemux subforum, hmm ... lemme think ... avidemux is similar in many points to vdub(mod) indeed ... yup, it's painful finding arguments for avidemux not to go there :p Avidemux isn't just an encoding GUI anymore as well, it's closer to a featureful NLE (except it crashes much more often if you ask me, it looks like don't spend too much time testing ...). And in fact, greater the number of users, greater are the chances bugs being fixed, so moving to the vdub subforum might help a bit :) Just my 0.02€ ^^

[foxyshadis]

Awesome, they finally took my suggestion. =D Glad to have this stuff here, although vdub may also be getting mp4/etc support in the future now. If anyone wants to make a FAQ I'll sticky that.

[Gromozeka]

"Not implemented" precisely means "hasn't been coded to work yet". So "why it hasn't been coded to work yet" has an easy answer : the devs lack some time, or they decided matrices weren't a priority for them :)
Also, from what SadaraX posted, he seems to lack some information about CQM's (though I wonder what could be missing them, some fixed-size grids with positive 8-bit integers inside shouldn't be hard to implement imho ...)

I think it incorrectly - what for to insert matrices if they do not work? Present it how to put in the car additional speed, and speed will not work! There will be a failure! I Hope matrices will be made.
Excuse me for my bad English language

[LoRd_MuldeR]

If anyone wants to make a FAQ I'll sticky that.

I could have a look at that as soon as I get home ...

I'm away on holidays later today. There will be no new builds on my site until 15 June.

[Gromozeka]

Again do not work custom matrices! Why all the same? It is complex for carrying out? :( Uh

[foxyshadis]

Until you see matrices listed in the changelog, it's likely to stay that way. You'll need to open a ticket, if one isn't open already, and try to get support for it.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Again do not work custom matrices! Why all the same? It is complex for carrying out? :( Uh

Again: Custom Matrices are not implemented yet. In fact the whole "x264 configuration" dialog is not in a final state at this moment. So you will either have to wait until the developers are done with it (I think SadaraX is working on it) or you will have to do it yourself and submit a patch. I guess Custom Matrices are low priority work, as in most cases the Default Matrix (flat matrix) will be fine...

[Gromozeka]

It's not truth, because High details matrices the beautiful. Flat matrices give not details!

[LoRd_MuldeR]

It's not truth, because High details matrices the beautiful. Flat matrices give not details!

That might be the case for HQ material and for high bitrates, but not for general purpose.

Also it doesn't change the fact, that Custom Quant Matrices are not implemented yet.
So please either be patient or contribute a patch...

[wata]

have 2 custom x264 with different settings

custom only work once
the setting remain the same as the first one even when you choose another custom file.

nobody use custom file?
this bug is still there with the latest version

[DarkZell666]

@wata : I see you mentionned this 3 times already and nobody actually knows an answer (me included, since I never understood how it worked and never managed to get it to work at all).

What are you actually doing with avidemux ? (step by step so I can reproduce it).

I'll report the "problem" to mean (avidemux dev) if I have the same problem you have.

Actually this interests me right now since I didn't find a way to save my settings other than using a project file ... (which is associated to a video in particular).

[foxyshadis]

If you remove the app.load("...") from the project/script, it will apply any settings in it to the currently loaded video. It's an undocumented feature I found just as I was about to ask mean for such a capability. :D

[wata]

i have 2 custom setting file i edit from project save file

i load one video and choose from custom menu fast.js
and add to joblist
next i load another video and choose slow.js but the setting doesn't change this time.

btw, i use avidemux exclusive now, since i mostly encode mpeg2 tv capture to x264, and avidemux allow me to edit out the commercial without having to save into another mpeg2 before encode.

haha, that's exactly what I do :D

About the custom script problem: I now understand your problem! That's definitely something you should report to the forum, if it's reproduceable. I'm sure it will be fixed soon...

http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewforum.php?id=14

[DarkZell666]

Ohhh yay it works ! Many thx for the heads-up boyz&girlz =)

Actually in r3140 I don't have the issue at all !
I can open a video, change custom settings several times, open another video, and re-change custom settings several times again, ! Note : I used different audio & video codecs in both custom settings files for quick checking.

Side note : When saving a project from a loaded custom file (like I wanted a q18 profile and a q20 profile with same settings), the project file has 0-length (empty file) apparently o_O

[Romario]

Can someone, please, compile newest 2.4 build 3201?

Thanks in advance.

[DarkZell666]

Mean did so here : http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/win32/r3201_full.zip

Edit: be warned, the FAAC bitrate choice isn't respected, so you'll only get 128kbps (this was the case in r3140 already actually). Mean has been informed, be patient ^^

i don't think avidemux is a good tools. I tried it, lot of bugs, and does not encode/compress video audio well. It cannot open some avi file, which virtualdub can. That is the biggest point. I like the fact it support many format, but lot of works need to be done.

1. If you think you found a bug, go to the Avidemux forum or the Bugtracker. This way you can find out if you really found a (new) bug. And if so, you can file a bugreport in order to help to fix that bug :rolleyes:

2. Avidemux uses common encoder libraries for encoding/compression: libavcodec, mpeg2enc, Xvid and x264. Therefore it won't compress any better or any worse than other applications which use those encoders! If you think those OpenSource encoders don't do a good job, you'll have to buy proprietary encoders :p

3. VirtualDub itself can not open any AVI file, because it uses VfW Codecs. So whether an AVI will open (or not open) in VirtualDub depends on the VfW Codecs you have installed on your system! Avidemux uses it's own decoders instead of the old-fashioned and platform-specific VfW interface. Therefore no additional software (like Codecs, Plugins, Filters or whatever) will be needed for Avidemux. In case your AVI file doesn't open in Avidemux, this means your file is either borked or the video/audio format isn't supported by Avidemux yet. But I cannot tell you now, because you didn't provide any useful information...

BTW: Don't post comments like this in the FAQ sticky! We have an Avidemux thread for that!

[foxyshadis]

A vfw interface has been brought up in the past, either old-fashioned vfw or interfacing with the codecs directly, but it's complex and a low priority when ffmpeg handles most things. There are a fair number of codecs that are still vfw-only, sadly, and if you work with a lot of files made with them, avidemux probably isn't a good fit for you.

The GTK version is much less buggy than the QT version, in case you were using that, although it doesn't look as nice.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

There are a fair number of codecs that are still vfw-only, sadly

Examples ???

Also note that Avidemux can use VfW Codecs via Avisynth input and AVISource(), video only though...

[foxyshadis]

Examples ???

Also note that Avidemux can use VfW Codecs via Avisynth input and AVISource(), video only though...

Lagarith, Fraps 2, Leadtools h.264 (which isn't compatible with ffmpeg's or anyone else's), wmv9 AP, Indeo 4 & 5, both MSU lossless and most other lossless codecs, all mjpeg2000 codecs, TSCC, VP7, and VP6 if the patch isn't included, to name a few. Almost all production codecs, not release codecs.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

1. I don't know that "Leadtools h.264", but H.264 encoding via VfW is a bad idea for the well-known reasons. Also if Avidemux doesn't open Leadtools files this means that either Leadtool produces borked H.264 bitstream or lavc's H.264 decoder doesn't support a specific feature used by Leadtools.

2. You list various lossless codecs. I guess if one of them is missing in Avidemux that's either because that Codec is ClosedSource and thus cannot be added or it's a rarely used Codec not on the priority list. Also Avidemux supports two excellent and widely used lossless Codecs: HuffYUV and FFv1.

3. Why in the world should anybody use an archaic and proprietary format like Indeo nowadays, instead of MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP or H.264 ??? And if somebody has some old Indeo videos on his HDD, he must be a Windows user. So he can easily convert those videos via VDub using the pre-installed Indeo Codecs. Or he can also open those videos in Avidemux via Avisynth/AVISource().

4. As Avidemux can open FLV files (FLV1 as well as FLV4), I'm pretty sure that it does support VP6.

5. I guess MJPEG2000 is not supported, because it's a proprietary format. Or is there a working OpenSource implementation yet?

[foxyshadis]

That's exactly my point, and why some form of vfw interface, whether it's through avisynth or a built-in API, is necessary to some people. It's not about making new files, which can easily be done in a compatible format, it's about working with ones that you have in storage without transcoding all of them first. (Yes, leadtools h.264 isn't standard, and doesn't work with any other decoder. Pointless and annoying codec, but some use it.) It's not seen as the best use of the devs' time, though, which I'm not arguing for, just pointing out that there are a substantial number of existing files that still need vfw out there.

I guess avidemux must include the VP6 patch, which is nice.

[Schrade]

Anyone know if it's possible to, say, turn a 60 fps mp4 with AAC to a 30 fps mp4 and not have the sound lose sync?

I can't find any options in the audio filters config to do this. I only see settings for None, Film to PAL and PAL to Film.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Resampling the FPS doesn't change the duration of the video, so Audio should kepp in sync without any special settings.
I have just made a quick test, and it seems to work fine here...

Or do you want to keep the number of frames, but change the framerate? (-> change duration of the movie?)

[Schrade]

No, I just want to take a 60fps MP4 (formatted for a PS3) and downconvert it to 30 fps so it'll play on my AMD Athlon XP 2400+ At 60fps it's far too much for my system to handle.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

No, I just want to take a 60fps MP4 (formatted for a PS3) and downconvert it to 30 fps so it'll play on my AMD Athlon XP 2400+ At 60fps it's far too much for my system to handle.

In that case goto "Video" -> "Filters" and add the "Transform" -> "Resample fps" filter. That's it.

[Schrade]

In that case goto "Video" -> "Filters" and add the "Transform" -> "Resample fps" filter. That's it.
That's what I used and is what made the audio not be in sync.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

That's what I used and is what made the audio not be in sync.

"not in sync" means: Completely out of sync or just slightly? And is the delay constant or is it getting worse of the movie?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

@Schrade
If it's a constant delay, then you can check "shift" and correct the delay by hand.
If this is not working, I guess you should file a bugreport at the Avidemux board (http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewforum.php?id=14).

@Gromozeka
Avidemux can not load VDub filters, if that is what you want.
Avidemux does have an interface for "external" filters, but it's not compatible with VDub's....

No no.. what I was saying that the referrer checker wasn't working the last time I used it to download Avidemux I didn't have to bother turning my referrer on for the site.

And now the referrer checker is working and is preventing it from being downloaded without having your referrer activated.

cannot download from rapidshare.com cause my ISP is using transparent proxy
can someone upload the latest zip version to somewhere else
thanks.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Why you don't simply download the Installer from my site?
If you don't want to run the installer for some reason (although I can hardly think of one) you can extract it with 7-Zip ;)

I don't know, but you should try again with latest build (r3465):
http://www.razorbyte.com.au/avidemux/

AFAIK that ".drv-ms" is nothing but MPEG-2 video and MP2 audio inside of M$'s own ASF container.
So in theory Avidemux should be able to decode those formats, but the none-standard container could introduce problems!

In case it still has problem, you should report that at the Avidemux board...

[buzzqw]

mencoder is able to decode/encode dvr-ms using the options -demuxer 35

i added support to dvr-ms in automen... so i know that handling this files is a little tricky

BHH

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I made a quick test with this sample:
http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/samples/dvr_ms/Channel%204%20News_Channel%204_20_10_2006_19_00_01.dvr-ms

I loads finde in Avidemux after demuxing with MEncoder:
mencoder -of rawvideo -ovc copy -oac copy -o c:\test.m2v c:\Temp\Channel.dvr-ms
mencoder -of rawaudio -ovc copy -oac copy -o c:\test.mp2 c:\Temp\Channel.dvr-ms

Just open the .m2v file into Avidemux and let it index. Then load the external audio. That's it :)

[dansus]

Im happy to cli the demux, but essentially the answer is no?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Looking at this (http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=2347) thread, it seems support for dvr-ms was added a while ago.
I have posted a reply with a sample that causes Avidemux to crash. Waiting for reply...

[dansus]

Sorry, seems im posting in the wrong section. I will continue over there.

thanks.

Libavcodec's SSE extensions were disabled in R3412 for Win32. SSE instructions require 16 byte alignment, which the Windows GCC doesn't enforce. Most libraries manually work around this and libavcodec used to work but with the recent update a gremlin has crept into their code somewhere. I still need to look into this further. How does this affect x264? When x264 is initialised it automatically detects the CPU's capabilities. However, the results of the detection are overridden by Avidemux which uses libavcodec's detection routine (now restricted to MMX for Win32 but Avidemux only recognises up to SSE2). This may have been for legacy reasons but I think it’s now safe for x264 to take care of its own CPU detection. We'll also get SSE3 and SSSE3 extensions to boot. I'll have a look at enabling all CPU extensions for x264 in the next build.

For me this change speeds up encoding from 3-4 fps to ~16 fps. Thanks Gruntster, you definitely saved my day :)

I have put together a simple guide for DVD Authoring with Avidemux:
http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=3570

[Schrade]

Nice guide! I noticed in your Flash animation that you changed the matrices to TMPGEnc, but didn't include that in your guide text. Did you mean to?

Does Avidemux's Auto DVD script choose your DVD encoding output? i.e. does it somehow check your region and choose whether to resize the video to NTSC or PAL?

Your flash animation/guide was very helpful in teaching me how to use the Calculator. That's awesome for calculating the bitrate! Very very nice, thanks a ton.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I noticed in your Flash animation that you changed the matrices to TMPGEnc, but didn't include that in your guide text. Did you mean to?

That was more an example than a real advice. In fact I'm not sure if the "TMPGEnc" matrix performs any better then the default one. So I kept that out of the guide. The Flash was created a while ago...

Does Avidemux's Auto DVD script choose your DVD encoding output? i.e. does it somehow check your region and choose whether to resize the video to NTSC or PAL?

It simply looks at the framerate: 25 fps -> 720x576 (PAL), 29.97 fps -> 720x480 (NTSC). In case you video uses a none-standard framerate, you will have to add the "Resample FPS" filter by hand before calling Auto -> DVD. Otherwise it does nothing. Guide has been updated...

[Schrade]

Aha, thanks. That makes sense.

[jeffy]

Please can someone answer, do the Win32 builds of AviDemux support Snow wavelet codec? Thank you.
If yes, where can I find this option?

[Schrade]

The latest build has removed the default Title/Author MP4 tags so now you can see the actual filenames for PSP encoded files. Yay!

Trying to use any Auto scripts with a .wmv is still broken though.

@jeffy

snow isn't in list of supported codec

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Please can someone answer, do the Win32 builds of AviDemux support Snow wavelet codec? Thank you.
If yes, where can I find this option?

There is no such option yet.

Nevertheless support for Snow should be available via libavcodec, which used by Avidemux for most formats. But I don't know how much extra work it would require to enable Snow support. Also I don't know how stable the Snow code is at the moment. Last but not least: Which container is Snow supposed to be stored in? One that is already implemented in Avidemux?

Maybe you should put a request on the Avidemux Forums (http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/index.php)...

[buzzqw]

ffmpeg encode and store snow in avi

but the support is very limited and snow isn't a valid option, now, in any situation

BHH

[gruntster]

I don't have any samples to try out but the source code suggests Avidemux can decode Snow.

There is also code to support the Snow encoder but it has been "disabled". Enabling the code and performing an encode causes Avidemux to crash...

As LoRd_MuldeR suggested, Mean will certainly be able to clarify things on the Avidemux forum.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I don't have any samples to try out but the source code suggests Avidemux can decode Snow.

I think I found a sample:
http://tuxrip.free.fr/transperl/MPlayer/The_Godfather-1972_snow.avi

This causes Avidemux to crash with internal CODEC_ID_SNOW not found error.


[EDIT]

Also I cannot get it to play anywhere: MPC+ffdshow, MPlayer and VLC all crash...

[gruntster]

Snow decoder has been disabled too. If I enable it, Avidemux crashes with the same "get_buffer() failed" message your MPlayer is reporting.

ffplay doesn't like it either.

Perhaps it's the sample?

So to answer jeffy, no, Avidemux does not currently support Snow :)

// EDIT: It is the sample. I'll enable the decoder for next build. I may know what's wrong with the encoder too.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

By the way: When Avidemux finds an un-supported Codec in an AVI file, shouldn't it simply show a message like "Unsupported Video Format (FourCC: XXXX)" instead of crashing with internal CODE_ID_XXXX not found error?

[gruntster]

I think the problem crept in with the latest libavcodec update. Avidemux is expecting the Snow decoder to be there but it's not enabled in libavcodec.

I'll enable it for the next release.

[Plamen234]

any chance to get a dialog box showing the x264 command line?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

any chance to get a dialog box showing the x264 command line?

:confused:

[buzzqw]

i suppose showing cmd like megui/automkv...

BUT AviDemux don't use directly the x264.exe but the lib... so .. isn't used by command line... but by direct interface

however the x264 configuration isn't based on profile.. so it's easier to set and undertand what checked/set on or not

BHH

[LoRd_MuldeR]

That's correct.

I got it :)
Thanks for your attention.

p.s.: about AVInaptic, amazing, really fast, I needed such a tool so much

[Schrade]

Also loading the created AVI file into AVInaptic can give a lot of information:

Is this only available in an x264 encoded file with the .avi container in Avidemux? Because none of my encoded .MP4s have any such info.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Is this only available in an x264 encoded file with the .avi container in Avidemux? Because none of my encoded .MP4s have any such info.

That seems to be the case, though I don't know why. When I store to MP4, I cannot find those information - neither with AVInaptic nor with my HexViewer. Also extracting the Video stream from the MP4 and muxing it into AVI again doesn't bring the information back. So I guess for some reason it is written to the AVI file, but is missing in the MP4 file. That made me guess the information is stored in some AVI specific header. But looking at the RIFF tree, it seems the x264 encoder information are located somewhere in the "AVI Data Block", not in any of the "Header" blocks...


[EDIT]

You can get the x264 encoder information into MP4 this way:
Create AVI file in Avidemux, extract the streams form the AVI and mux them into MP4 conatiner with MP4Box.
No idea why this doesn't work directly...

Thanks for that! I think it's really important to save the encoding settings used, that way other people can replicate the quality or just use it as a learning method.

Is there a way to get the information to show up in an already encoded MP4? i.e. re-mux it and it'll appear? Or do you just have to start with an .avi and then re-mux it with YAMB/MP4Box to get it to show up?

@Plamen234: We're talking about Avidemux though, not x264.exe output.

[jeffy]

Thank you for your replies.
I was misguided by Wikipedia:
Programs Using Snow

The following open-source video editing programs can encode to Snow format:

* Avidemux
* LiVES
* MeGUI


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_%28codec%29

Is there a way to get the information to show up in an already encoded MP4? i.e. re-mux it and it'll appear? Or do you just have to start with an .avi and then re-mux it with YAMB/MP4Box to get it to show up?

The encoding information are just not there, when creating an MP4 file in Avidemux. Re-muxing won't make those information appear magically.


x264 can be configured in two modes :
* Repeat all headers at each gop/idr boundary
* Put only one header (global header mode)

Avi is using the 1st mode
mp4 is using the 2nd.

Either the infos are not there or they are stripped by lavformat when creating the file.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

It seems I don't experience such problem.
I always use mp4/mkv container for x264 video stream - and AVInaptic gets all the information

[LoRd_MuldeR]

@Schrade:
It seems the problem of disappearing "User Data" in MP4 was fixed :)

I have the fix ready, but i'll have to wait for berlios to accept incoming ssh.

Should work with the next Avidemux build I think.

[Schrade]

Woo awesome! Thanks for explaining it to them and getting it fixed!

Another fix they've done recently is to not write the Title/Author tags in an MP4. For whatever reason this has increased x264 setting compatibility for PSP encoding. Previous to this fix if you enabled many of the supported settings in the x264 config window for a PSP encode, the encoded video would show up as not playable on the PSP.

I really have no clue what they did to fix it since they didn't really mention it in any changelog but I'm glad it works again :) I'm hoping to release a script people can put in their C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\avidemux\custom folder to switch to maximum quality settings that are compatible with the PSP.

But where bug fix custom matrices x264? :)

There is no bug, it's just not implemented yet. You will have to wait until somebody is willing to do it...
Maybe a friendly feature-request post on the Avidemux forum can speed things up ;)

Hi

I am new here and I have a question:

How can I join two MKV files which are in h264? I know you can join with Virtual Dub, but it only allows XviD and I don't want to reencode h264 to XviD :(


Note: I haven't much knowledge with encoding... so try to explain it the easiest way possible ^^'

[DarkZell666]

First link here : http://www.google.fr/search?q=join+mkv

By the way as you may have noticed this is the avidemux topic, and avidemux isn't able to join 2 mkv files unless you output the video and audio in MP4 or AVI (even if it does open MKV it doesn't output MKV yet).

Edit: another hit on the same result page from google was this : http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=109485

I'm trying to figure out a way to make JPEG thumbnails for MP4 videos for the PSP.

Does anyone know if it's possible to do this with a script in Avidemux2?

I'd want to do something like load up the video, then choose the frame I want to be the thumbnail by using the seek bar.

Run the script and the script would do the following:

1) Resize the frame to 160x120
2) If it's 4x3, do nothing special.
3) If it's anything other than 4x3, add black borders to fill it up to 160x120.
4) Open the Save JPEG Image dialogue (or just save the jpeg automatically with the video file name.)

If there's another small program out there that'll do this I'd be interested in hearing about it too. I'd prefer something with a seek bar though so it's easier to decide what scene you want as the thumbnail.

seem there is a bug with BframePredictionMode
from Megui
1=--direct spatial , 2=--direct temporal , 3=--direct auto
and 0=--none

but in AVIDemux (i look at the inside of an AVIDemux
x264 encode file)
3=--direct spatial , 2=--direct temporal , 1=--direct auto
and 4=--none

and
you can't select bframes=16 (max=15)

btw Quantizer CRF doesn't accept decimal number like eg 18.5 (it is either 18 or 19)

hi to every1,

I dont even remember when was my last post here, i was away quite a bit :).

I discovered this software two days ago, stumbled on it when i was searching on Google for HD1920x1080i.m2t to DVD conversion....
anyway this program is gr8 it has everything i need, even FLV format....except VOB formating, but it is okay, coz i use free version of muxman for quick mpeg to vob.

my questions:

1)What gui is more stable or safer to use in winXP(avidemux2_gtk.exe or avidemux2_qt4.exe or even avidemux2_cli.exe(command line)).

2) i often use avidemux from my usb stick, but is has approx50MB, so i want to shrink it a bit, if possible, by deleting unnecessary files. The question is, what files are safe to delete if i am using a gui from question 1)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried and deleted qt4 exe file coz it is logically it is a standalone gui, but i am not sure what dlls can i delete......that was 7MBs reduction ......but i am almost sure there are other files that can be also deleted.


Hm, i think that is all for now :D,
plz try



Thanks in advance

[buzzqw]

after avidemux2_gtk.exe you can safely delete QtCore4.dll and QtGui4.dll and if you don't mind to use the command line, you can delete even the avidemux2_cli.exe

and then UPX all

BHH

[dado023]

Tnx for reply buzzqw

I did upx yesterday and reduced it to 18MB,....drag and drop onto upx.exe(default compresion)....

i dont use command line

1) what do you think which gui is more stable QT or GTK?
3) I have linux ubuntu 7.1 and winXPsp2.....which is better and faster for avidemux?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

1) what do you think which gui is more stable QT or GTK?

Definitely the GTK+ GUI. The QT4 GUI is work in progress...

[St Devious]

Crashes a lot for me with MPEG-2 while previewing filters . Also the audio and video r out of sync with MPEG-2 video . even after copying both the streams to a new file and only applying filters .

does it generate some sort of crash log so i can give it to u ?

See the log files: stdout.txt + stderr.txt in install folder!

BTW: Sure you are using the latest SVN Builds? Which filters cause problem? Tried to fix your MPEG-2 files with ProjectX?

i dont see the stderr.txt file in the install folder . Whenevr i press the preview button after aplying the filters , it crashes . Yes i corrected my mpeg-2 file with videoredo .

So what's in stdout.txt then ?

I just checked out Avidemux v2.4 Preview-3 after a long time of not keeping up to date: it's really coming along fine! The amount of different video and container types it can both input and output is fantastic, plus built-in yadif!

There are however still a few problems that force me to stay with Virtual Dub at the moment. First the show stoppers, then the annoyances (all Qt4):

1) Fonts are broken in the filter manager:
http://xs121.xs.to/xs121/07462/Zwischenablagebild.png (http://xs.to)

2) The keys needed to set the editing markers ( [ and ] ) don't exist on German keyboards and you actually need to use Right Alt + 8 and Right Alt + 9 combos. :( Personally I'd love Home/End as it allows one handed editing (yeah, I'm a lazy bastard) but anything simpler than what it is now would be good enough.


Now the non-showstopping annoyances:

3) File extensions aren't appended when saving, you need to type them yourself

4) Open and save dialogs don't remember which folder the last file was opened from or saved to

5) Codec settings are set to default on every program start

6) The idx files that Avidemux creates get left behind after Avidemux is closed

7) Window gets resized every time a file is opened or the preview mode is changed

8) Compatibility with European HDTV files (samples (http://x264.nl/h.264.samples/)) is not perfect yet, some work, some don't, some crash

9) And a question not an annoyance: what exactly is the setting video/postprocessing? Does every video I open get deblocked by default?


I hope the feedback helps, keep up the good work!

EDIT: I just found out that both showstoppers aren't an issue with the GTK+ version, although finding out that [ and ] mean 8 and 9 on the keyboard and that 4,6,2,8 mean the cursor keys may be a bit hard for new users. So it looks like Avidemux is already usable for me, yay. But is there a way to change the language to English, other than deleting "share\gettext" and "share\locale"? German is a bit unfamiliar for video encoding.

EDIT2: wow, I just found the smart copy mode for xvid, another killer feature!

1) I cannot reproduce that. But it looks more like a buffer overrun or a memory/pointer issue than a font problem. Maybe you should try to make a clean re-install and try again. If you still see that issue, you should file a bug report! But remember that the QT4 interface is work in progress, still. Though it's getting better every day...

http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/4690/fileadmqtfiltermgrzx1.th.png (http://img441.imageshack.us/my.php?image=fileadmqtfiltermgrzx1.png)

2) If you think those hotkeys are that important, you might want to post a feature request for editable hotkeys at the Avidemux board...

3) That's because file extensions are simply a part of the filename and on Linux they are way less important than on Windows. Also most containers don't even have one valid extension, so there can be a lot of discussion what the appropriate extension is. Except your player is very badly implemented, it will detect the correct file format independent of the file's name/extension. Last but not least you can rename your files at anytime, so I wouldn't worry too much about such cosmetic things...

4) In the GTK+ interface you can add your favorite folders to the "places" list on the left side by using the "Add" button in the Open dialog. This way your folders will stay there for quick one-click access...

5) That's why Avidemux has a powerfull scripting engine! See the Avidemux FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=126164) for how to save your Codec settings!

6) Sure, or do you want to re-index your MPEG-2 files everytime you open them? Indexing a 20 GB file can take quite some time, so you will be happy for re-using the existing index! If you really worry about those few Megabytes you can delete the .idx files at any time...

7) That was introduced to make sure High-Resolution material can be displayed properly, even if the video resolution is greater than your screen resolution. Before that "fix" was introduced, such videos simply cause a crash...

9) Not sure. I'd guess that the post-processing option applies at least to MPEG-1, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4. Also I assume post-processing won't be used with H.264, because H.264 has it's own "built-in" Inloop-Deblocking, so additional deblocking would be nonsense. Nevertheless I do know that the level of post-processing that is applied to a specific frame depends on the quantizer. That means frames with a lot of compression artifacts will usually get stronger post-processing than frames with few compression artifacts. If you want to apply the same amount of post-processing to all frames - independent of quantizer and input format - you can add the "Forced Postprocessing" filter...


//EDIT

You can set the language with the following environment variables:
LANG
LANGUAGE
LC_ALL
LC_MESSAGES
Simply set those variables to "en_EN" in order to enforce English language. To add/change environment variables (I think you will need to add them yourself) righ-click on "Arbeitsplatz" and choose "Eigenschaften". Then go to the "Erweitert" tab and click the "Umgebungsvariablen" button...

[Jay Bee]

Thanks for the response. I'm already getting used to most of the issues.

1) Completely deleting and reinstalling fixed it!

2) I didn't think of looking for an official forum before posting here, but ATM the keys 8 and 9 are good enough for me in the GTK version.

3) Would still be a convenient feature though, it's just what all Windows programs do and saves some typing.

4) Yep, it's fine in GTK.

5) Nice FAQ, maybe it can be made accessible from Avidemux' "help" because that's where I did look before posting here. The scripting system does exactly what I want, thx.

6) Depends on how you use Avidemux, I guess. I usually only edit a source file once and it seems a bit messy that I have to go cleaning up after every file I open.

7) Well if crash is the alternative then I think I'll take the resizing. :D

Anyway, all in all it looks like Avidemux is fully usable in its current state and I'm actually quite exited to be able to say goodbye to Virtual Dub and probably Avisynth and TMPGenc all in one go. If I encouter any other problems I'll get an account at the official forum.

[St Devious]

Plz look at my error file posted on this page , why avidemux crashes while using filters .

Well, there is an Exception error and that's what causes Avidemux to exit :(
You should post a bugreport at the Avidemux board and provide a sample file to reproduce the crash...

[joseph5]

Is this a bug?
I created a few matroska files from flv and avi files. If later I open the newly created matroska files in Avidemux to edit, every frame seems to be a keyframe! I thought I accidentally created those files uncompressed, but their file sizes say otherwise.
EDIT: Same problem when I save in avi container.

After loading a Matroska file, you should run "Tools" -> "Rebuild Frames" first ...

Thanks, now it works. But, why isn't this done by default when opening the files?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thanks, now it works. But, why isn't this done by default when opening the files?
Because Matroska support is one of the "work-in-progress" features, as many things in Avidemux are...

I have an unusual problem with avidemux. I made a x264 movie in Linux and when I play the movie in windows it plays fine at first, but if I move the slider to go to another part of the movie the audio gets out of sync. I tried making the same movie using staxrip, automkv and RipBot256 (in Windows) I did not have the same problem. I was using CQ-CRF of 22 with the LC audio coder.

What container did you save to from Avidemux?
And what do you mean with "LC" audio coder? You talk about "FAAC" (LC-AAC) audio?
And what player did you use? Can you provide a sample?

[weaver4]

I used mp4, yes the FAAC audio. I tried it in three players.

Windows Media Player 11
Media Player Classic
VLC

Do you have a ftp server I could send the file to? Send a PM. Is there a utility to take and reduce the size to the first 10-15 minutes? it is a big file.

Simply upload it to one of the free webhsoting sites. I currently prefer that one:

I can download and test your file then. And maybe I can confirm your problem.
But it might be even better to post your file at the Avidemux board, so the developers can check it out and maybe fix the bug.

[weaver4]

I looked but did not see anyway to upload the file to the Avidemux forum. Is there a specific place to do it?

No, there is no upload function on the board itself, but as I already said:

You can simply upload it to one of those free web-hsoting sites. I currently prefer that one:
http://uploaded.to/

You don't need to register or pay. Simply choose your file and click "Upload it!".
Then you will get a public DL link for your file, which you can post at a forum, send via PM or do whatever you want with it.
Uploaded.to seems to be reliable and pretty fast. And they are less annoying than Rapidshare is ;)

[weaver4]

OK here is the link.

BTW: I used YAMB to spilt the video in winxp and all the segments except the first one had audio out of sync. Probably a symptom of the same problem.

Hi Lord,

I have some problems converting a DVD to AVI, AviDemux doesn't seem able to get the subtitles.... Please how can we do this ?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

1. Extract your original DVD to your HDD with DVDFab Decrypter or a similar tool
2. Run Avidemux and open the first VOB file of the main movie (e.g. VTS_01_1.VOB)
3. If Avidemux asks to index the MPEG file, say "Yes"
4. If Avidemux asks to append several MPEG files, say "Yes" again (to get the whole movie)
5. Then use "Tools" -> "VOB -> VobSub"
6. In the next dialog box, select the appropriate VOB and IFO file
7. Choose your desired output file and click "OK". This will take a few moments...
8. Back in the main window, goto the Video Filter Manager
9. Add the "VobSub" filter and load the subtitle file you have just created

Note: After running the "VOB -> VobSub" tool, there will be two subtitle files: "foobar.sub" and "foobar.idx"
That subtitle .idx file is different from the .idx file Avidemux creates when indexing the VOB/MPEG file.
When you add the VobSub filter, you need to load the .idx that was created by the "VOB -> VobSub" tool!

BTW: You need to switch "Input" to "Output" in the main window, to preview the video with subtitles ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thanks Lord_Mulder, unfortunatelly step 9 always fails.
Whenever I choose the subtitle.idx file (created in step 7) ... The "Language" tab remains empty, I cant change it, and thus a blank(empty) Vobsub filter is added, the output shows without any subtitles... :(
Did you really select the correct .idx file?

When you open the VOB/MPEG file, then Avidemux will index it and create an idx file, for example:
"VTS_01_1.VOB" -> "VTS_01_1.VOB.IDX"

As said before, that .idx is file is not the one to use with the VobSub filter!

When you run the "VOB -> VobSub" tool on your VOB/IFO files, then you should get two new files:
"foobar.idx" and "foobar.sub" (you can choose the output filename manually)

Now that one is the .idx file you need to load into the VobSub filter...
I did the same mistake, when I tried the first time ;)

[Poopoo]

Thank you very much Lord,

I did use the correct .idx file, the problem must have been when using DVD Decrypter, when I used "File Mode" and "Stream Processing" to copy only some substreams and audio streams, the IFO/VOB must have become non-compliant.

I redid the whole File copy thing now copying EVERYTHING, and now Avidemux worked miraculously well ! :)

Now, I need to find out how can I actually make a DVD-image with Avidemux instead of a 4GB AVi file ;)

Thanks again for this wonderful tool !
:thanks:

Edit : I want to re-convert DVD -> DVD because the original draws subtitles too low on my TV, and I want to add a Dutch subtitle stream, but right now I was just trying out avidemux :)

:thanks:

You might want to have a look at this guide:
http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=3570

But why do you want to convert from DVD -> AVI and then back from AVI -> DVD :confused:
That would mean you re-encode the movie twice, ending up with the same you got at the beginning...

Why not backup the original DVD to DVD-R and that's it?

[St Devious]

anyway to get nero aac in avidemux ? even if user has to put the files there .

[LoRd_MuldeR]

anyway to get nero aac in avidemux ? even if user has to put the files there .
The answer is: You can not use any external encoders with Avidemux! Only the "built-in" ones!
Therefore neither DivX nor Nero AAC or any other proprietary Codec can be used!
If you want to add a new encoder to Avidemux, you will have to link the encoder's code against Avidemux' code.
Thus the encoder necessarily has to be OpenSource...

Nevertheless Avidemux can load Audio Streams from "external" audio files.
So you should be able to simply use the Nero AAC CLI encoder to create the audio file, without involving Avidemux.
Then you can load the resulting audio file in Avidemux and merge it with your video.

BTW: Is there anything wrong with the built-in "FAAC" encoder?

[DarkZell666]

BTW: Is there anything wrong with the built-in "FAAC" encoder?That one's easy, it doesn't do HE-AAC :D

Avidemux doesn't explicitely allow importing AAC audio tracks either ATM, are we supposed to fake-rename the file to .mp3 and use the mp3 import method ? (sorry I can't try myelf right now).

[Placio74]

T...
Nevertheless Avidemux can load Audio Streams from "external" audio files.
...
But, at this moment only AC3, MP3 and WAV.

... are we supposed to fake-rename the file to .mp3 and use the mp3 import method ?...
Possible, but it make fake audio in container too (recognised as MPEG-1 Layer 2) and it's not 'playable' (only noise).

[Poopoo]

1. Extract your original DVD to your HDD with DVDFab Decrypter or a similar tool
2. Run Avidemux and open the first VOB file of the main movie (e.g. VTS_01_1.VOB)
3. If Avidemux asks to index the MPEG file, say "Yes"
4. If Avidemux asks to append several MPEG files, say "Yes" again (to get the whole movie)

That's weird, I followed these steps, , however when I load the .idx file created in step 7, I'm only able to choose ENglish
When I play the IFO in MPC, I can choose between ENglish & DUtch subs :(

I have an easy question I think. I have a group of vob files that play at 29.97fps and I want to encode them into an xvid file that plays at 24.98fps but I don't know what filter (or setting) to use to do the Inverse Telecine.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

For Inverse Telecine use "Interlacing" -> "Decomb Telecide".
After that you can use "Resample FPS" to change the framerate, while keeping the audio in sync.

[weaver4]

thanks, I had the "Decomb Telecide" figured out but not the "Resample FPS"

Anyone ever have problems with Avidemux where if you go and encode a video in h.264/AAC and when it comes time to view it the first couple of frames that are encoded are from a place OTHER than the start of the video?

I've seen this many times when I've added filters in the Filters section and then used preview in there then moved the seek bar around.

It's really annoying because I can't seem to figure out why it does this and it seems to do it randomly.

Another things that seems to happen is that the first second of audio gets a weird sound too.

I guess this is because of the way Avidemux handels H.264 streams.

If you use the "special mode" Avidemux let's the decoder decide the type of frame.
The problem is: The decoder has a number of frames buffered "internally", because those frames are requird as references.
So if Avidemux puts a new frame into the decoder, it cannot predict which frame will come out...

That's why you loose frame accuracy ...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

So is there a way to stop this from happening when preparing to encode a video?

Not until Avidemux will implement a "new" method to handle H.264 streams in a frame-accurate way.
I think mean has announced that for the upcoming v2.5 series, but I wouldn't expect too much.
All the Avidemux developers (mainly Mean and Gruntster) spend their free time to work on the project.
So new features can take a while...

In the meantime, I'm not aware of any OpenSource video editor than is capable of handling H.264 properly.
In Avisynth you can try DGAVCSource or ffmpegSource, but you will have to re-encode then!

[blizard]

That one's easy, it doesn't do HE-AAC :D

Avidemux doesn't explicitely allow importing AAC audio tracks either ATM, are we supposed to fake-rename the file to .mp3 and use the mp3 import method ? (sorry I can't try myelf right now).

You could use YAMB (http://yamb.unite-video.com/)which is a GUI for MP4BOX.exe. This GUI make it easy to re-mux Nero AAC instead of FAAC in a a MP4 container. There a different way to do this if you use AVIDemux as you could just create a video stream in a MP4 or AVI container with or without sound. The only problem I see with this is that you need first to create a wave (wav) or flac from your original sound and then transcode it with Nero AAC, create and edit a video in AVIDEmux to get your desired compressed (Xvid/Divx/H.264) video and then re-mux it with your Nero AAC sound stream in YAMB.

Almost all these step can be done with a simple batch file as MP4BOX.exe, Nero AAC and AVIDemux (or MEncoder) can be used in this process. Depending on what you want to do with your processed video it is either better to use AVIdemux FAAC for simplicity or to use MENcoder in a batch file processing, if you wish only to have a video with HE-AAC and no need for editing or other feature of AVIDemux.

_____
I forgot to say that MPlayer (part of MENcoder package) can be used to create a wave file from a video file (=file with both sound and video). Use mplayer.exe -vf null -vo null -ao pcm:fast:waveheader:file=audio.wav file_to_convert.avi

This will create an audio file with the name "audio.wav". Use quote to give path or make up another name if you want, but be aware that it is a bit tricky as mplayer.exe make use of colon as setting a chain of option and you need to tell mplayer this is not a part of its internal option for audio driver, but a path for a file. Look into you mplayer/mencoder folder if you can find your audio.wav file and ignore all error messages as those will always show when you use pcm:fast. Make sure that you have enough space for audio.wav as uncompressed sound can become rather large. After this you can use Nero AAC to create your desired quality encoding and then use YAMB for muxing.

[DarkZell666]

@blizard :
Thanks for the thorough explanation, I'm sure it'll be useful to some beginners passing by ;)

I know about yamb and neroaac already, but the aim of avidemux is precisely not to have to use external tools. It can be a pain to start using cli stuff when you want to get a single job done and you need to read the manual every single time. I'll agree there's not much choice left in our case though.

I didn't know about the mplayer trick for creating wav files though, I'll keep that one on one side :D

[Poopoo]

Hi, sorry for this newbie question.

I converted a DVD (720 by 576) to AVI.

I cropped away the black borders, for better compression, but now the aspect ratio ain't 16:9 anymore. If I play the movie in MPC all people are skinny and tall.

Now my question :

Is it of any value to put another filter to add black borders until the aspect ratio is 16:9 again, below the CROP and RESIZE filters ?

What I want to know, will the added black border be added after the conversion has happened, or is this step meaningless, since adding these black borders will take their part in the compression, resulting in a worse encoding of the actual video content ?

Please, could someone point me to the correct way of keeping the AR correct, even if cropping and resizing has to be done ?

Thanks a lot !

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Add the "MPlayer resize" filter and put it after the crop filter.
In the resize dialog: Set Input to "4:3" or "16:9" depending on your Video DVD (usually 16:9).
Set Destination to "1:1", assuming you don't want to encode anamorphic.
Also check the "16 round up" option and select the "Lanczos" (or at least "Bicubic") method.
Finally use the slider to set the resolution. Do not enter it manually!

[dk75]

Isn't it better to remux this file to MKV or MP4 container (since AVI don't work with aspect ratio flag) with new aspect ratio without resizing and new encoding?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Isn't it better to remux this file to MKV or MP4 container (since AVI don't work with aspect ratio flag) with new aspect ratio without resizing and new encoding?

AVI works quite well with Aspect Ratio flag - if the flag was set correctly and the player is reading it properly! :p
Only the Aspect Ratio flag is not stored in the AVI container itself, but in the MPEG-4 bitstream.

But if you resize with "Destination" set to "1:1", then you won't need to set an Aspect Ratio flag at all...

Is there a way to save a video with no audio? I can't find the option.

:o OOOPS. I was looking in the Sound dropdown next to the video preview.

[tekNerd]

first is first: nice to see how beautiful piece of software Avidemux is and how stable the 2.4 (r3731) is.
Now, there is something, nothing important, but it is annoying nevertheless. When I open the filters preview window this opens on my secondary monitor (which is my TV, since I use the nvidia's dualview thing). And this happens everytime (I mean it doesn't remember the last position of the window or anything).
Is this something known or.....?

Thank u for your answers.

so check or uncheck for QUALITY>SPEED?? i've read it a couple times and i still don't know whether to check or uncheck it :o

[LoRd_MuldeR]

ShadowVlican, I have reported that issue long ago.
But it seems nobody seems to be willing to fix the x264 configure dialog at the moment.
Various settings in that dialog are not working yet. Also CQMs are there, but not working.

I'd say you have to uncheck "Fast P-Skip" in order to disable fast p-skip and get max quality.
Although the hint message isn't correct...


//EDIT

Yes, unchecking the "Fast P-Skip" option results in:
[x264] analyse.b_fast_pskip = 0 :)

[dk75]

I think that only option name in the window is messed and should be "NoFast P-skip" and in that case unchecking it should increase quality and decrease speed.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I'm not sure whether any of the controls on the "More" tab actually do work. Custom quantization matrices don't work for sure. Also we have "Bitrate Variability" and "Quantizer (Curve) Compression" options, although they both refer to the very same x264 setting....

Well, it seems the Avidemux devs are busy with more important stuff:
We're currently concentrating on fixing bugs in 2.4 so I'd imagine new features will be on the backburner for a little while.

I think that only option name in the window is messed and should be "NoFast P-skip" and in that case unchecking it should increase quality and decrease speed.

Fixed in latest revision:

I've downloaded the latest AviDemux, but I have yet to have any success with the copy mode. I load up an mkv x.264 file and make my cuts, and I'm using copy mode for video and audio, but it doesn't cut any of the audio, I left a commercial in an encode and I just wanted to cut it out. It cuts the video perfectly, but when it comes to the point in the video where I cut out the commercial, the video is right, but the audio proceeds to play the commercial that I thought was cut out.

Is there a trick to cutting the audio out on a straight copy mode, I tried copy the video and encode the audio to faac, but the same thing, the audio stream does not appear to get cut at all.

I finally did get it to cut the audio, when I remuxed the original video with ac3, instead of aac that the original mkv had. But, it started having audio sync issues within the first couple of minutes of the 41 minute video.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

You should be able to cut the audio along with the video in "Copy" mode.
But cutting H.264 video in a frame-accurate way is not supported yet.
Also you should run "Tools" -> "Rebuild Frames (I & B)" when processing MKV files...

If you think you found a bug, report it here:

No, it's available for download as installer only. What's wrong with that?

Just to let people know, it appears there may be a bug with the x264 B-Frame Direct Mode drop down menu in Avidemux.

I made a post about it here:

http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=4465

Basically, you need to set the drop down menu to "None" to get -direct auto

Setting it to "Auto" basically sets it to -direct none

The values passed to x264 by Avidemux seem to be completely wrong.
I think they should be in the range between 0 and 3, not between 1 and 4

I'm having a bit of a problem with the "Use alternate safe read mode for h264 video" y/n question coming up when processing a H264 file. There appears to be a "--force-alt-h264" option but not a don't force option. My batch gets stuck there everytime waiting for me to enter "n". Am I missing something?

yep still a big way to go (for AviDemux currently keeping up) tried some stuff (Mainconcept interoperability)

AVC (Blu-Ray)

Mplayer for Windows (LoRd_MuldeR latest package mplayer by sherpya)

MPG (fails)

MP4 (works)
MKV (works)

FFMPEGsource 1.18

MPG (fails)

M2TS (works seekmode=-1)

Videolan (current release 0.8.6f)

MPG (fails)
TS (parsing ok) (decoding fails mbaff)
M2TS (parsing ok) (decoding fails mbaff)
MP4 (parsing ok) (decoding fails mbaff)
MKV (parsing ok) (decoding fails mbaff)

Avidemux r3974

MPG (fails)
TS (fails crashes after indexing in every mode also after reconstructing the pictures very weired behavior)
M2TS (fails)
MP4 (fails)
MKV (fails)


It looks like Videolan isn't Mbaff patched yet and Avidemux still has issues @ parsing stuff, especially with AVC inside Program Stream all fail (not yet libavformat supported?) :(
Tough all in all that's a very good overall result (almost 100% of AVC supported container are working now OSS) only MPG is missing, compared to 1 year ago allot has been achieved congrats to all involved and AviDemux just has to get it correctly integrated now :)

Heres also a short sample of the index file

I downloaded and installed Avidemux 2.4.1 SVN-r4028 (2008-05-14).

I encoded XVID with Didees SixOfNine-HVS.cqm matrix, but when I see avi file with Avinaptic, it tell me Quant Type is H.263 not Custom matrix.

What's wrong ?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

1. Make sure that the "Custom Matrix" option is selected (not "H.263")
2. Use "Open CQM file" to load the desired matrix
3. Click "Edit Custom Matrix" in order to check that the matrix was loaded properly
4. Close the dialog with "OK"

If it still doesn't work, there might be a bug and it should be reported...

3. Click "Edit Custom Matrix" in order to check that the matrix was loaded properly
4. Close the dialog with "OK"

If it still doesn't work, there might be a bug and it should be reported...

1. Yes
2. Yes, and it appears a dialog that say the matrix was loaded.
3. Yes the values showed are correct
4. Yes

and avinaptic shows H.263

The problem is the same if I create a custom script for encoder preset.

I run avs_proxy_gui -> load an avs file -> Create Proxy > popup avidemux window -> File -> Save -> save Video.

Also at Preferences -> Output -> I have checked Create OpenDml files, but Avinaptic show Avi not Avi OpenDML.

I use avidemux for windows GTK , since QT4 it does not allow Custom matrix.

Note:
With Avidemux 2.4 r3731 the same problems.

Not Avi OpenDML
Not Custom matrix.

H263 and MPEG works well.

For some reason, I can't open my 1280x720 AVC/AAC video in MP4 format in the newest version of Avidemux. The only difference between this one and the others is that this one was a long 6.8gb encode while the others were less than 1 gig. I even split the 6.8gig video using YAMB into a few 1 minute MP4 files and those opened just fine. Is there a limit to the filesize for Avidemux? I tested this on SVN -4170

Maybe the size is limited to 2^32 Byte = 4 GB. This can easily happen when the size is stored as 32-Bit value.

Did it work with older revisions?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Apparently MVBob is an Avisynth script using various Avisynth plugins. This will make it hard to port MVBob to Avidemux. All the plugins would need be ported and also they would have to be combined the same way the MVBob script does. Why not use MVBob in Avisynth and then open your AVS script in Avidemux via AVSProxy?

Again: MVBob is a bobbing script for Avisynth. It's not a plugin!

Porting Avisynth plugins to Avidemux is possible and has been done before. It only needs somebody willing to do it.
But it's not possible to port an AVS script, such as MVBob, to Avidemux! At least it won't be easy.
What could be done is: Port all plugins used by MVBob to Avidemux and then emulate what the MVBob script does.
Obviously this would be a huge piece of work. Also we already have several bobbers in Avidemux.

If you only "heard" that MVBob is better than "others", why not try the Bobbers provided by Avidemux first?
And if you really want to use MVBob after you tried Avidemux' bobbers, you can use MVBob in Avisynth as it's intended to be used.
Remember: Avidemux does support Avisynth input...

Yes, there is a 4GiB file size limit. 64-bit MP4 is currently not supported.

[Revgen]

I don't get it. :confused:

I can open and edit 4gb+ AVI's in virtualdub, but I can't edit 4gb+MP4's?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I don't get it. :confused:

I can open and edit 4gb+ AVI's in virtualdub, but I can't edit 4gb+MP4's?

The comment was about Avidemux and MP4 files, not about VirtualDub and AVI. AFAIK there is no MP4 support in VirtualDub at all.

At the moment Avidemux simply doesn't support 64-Bit MP4's, so we are limited to 32-Bit MP4's.
Therefore the maximum size for MP4 files is currently limited to 2^32 Byte = 4294967296 Byte = 4 Gigabyte.

Once support for 64-Bit MP4's is implemented in Avidemux you will be able to open and edit MP4 files without size limit...

[Revgen]

@yiannakas : maybe your source doesn't need to be deinterlaced but IVTC'ed ? Could you post some screenshots of that "noise" and "artefacts" ?
Did you configure yadif correctly ?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Can anyone help to import other bobbers to avidemux. There plenty of users (like me) who cant do it themselves.

1. You can't "import" bobbing filters (or any other filters) into Avidemux that easy. The filter has to be ported, which means a software developer must at least understand, modify, compile and test the source code (assuming the source code of the filter is available to the public). Now that Avidemux supports plugins this work is less annoying: You can add new filters without having to re-compile the core application. Nevertheless somebody with sufficient coding skill must be willing to do it and must have the time to do it...

2. Again my question: If you insist on using a specific Avisynth script/filter, namely MVBob, why not use Avisynth then? I already told you that Avidemux supports Avisynth input. Simply try AVS Proxy respectively AVS Proxy GUI. If you are not familiar with Avisynth yet, look at the Avisynth docs or the Avisynth section on this forum...

[foxyshadis]

Can anyone help to import other bobbers to avidemux. There plenty of users (like me) who cant do it themselves.

What you can do to help:

Provide an incentive, typically money.
Find a developer willing to tackle it.
Learn C++ and do it yourself.

What never helps:

Repeatedly pestering the same people trying to tell you why they won't do it in the near future, showing no attempt to learn what you're talking about.

[Ryo94]

Any chance to add Lanczos4 resizing in avidemux filters?

Thanks for make this great program.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I think Avidemux uses libswscale to do the resizing, which also includes the Lanczos resize method.
Furthermore I think that "Lanczos4" refers to Lanczos Resize with Taps=4 instead of Taps=3, like the "normal" Lanczos does.
So making the Taps parameter adjustable, like in ffdshow, should do what you want...

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Nope. Since the Psy RDO patch changes the interface of libx264.dll, you cannot replace libx264.dll with a patched one that easy.
The Avidemux core application needs to be modified and re-compiled too...

The Nero AAC encoder can not be incorporated into Avidemux, because:

1. It's not OpenSource !!!
2. It's not allowed to distribute Nero AAC with another program
3. Avidemux does not use CLI encoders, but Nero AAC is exclusively provided as CLI encoder.
4. Nero AAC is not available as a library that could be used by Avidemux


BTW: Feature requests also belong to http://bugs.avidemux.org/ ;)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Thnk u!...
All right How I make AAC 64 Kbps? I choose but itsn't 64kbps its still 96kbps.

AAC is VBR (Variable Bitrate) by nature. Maybe you set 64 kbps as average bitrate, but 96 kbps is reported as maximum bitrate?

Did you check the resulting bitratein a player that shows the actual bitrate while playing, instead of just the average or maximum bitrate?

I'm happy to report that the newer versions (r2419 in my case) handle 4GB+ MP4 files just fine. Grunster took care of it.

Good news :)

[tre31]

Just noticed something strange in the gui of 2.4.2. r4211, with the audio encoding bit-rates, all standard stuff up until 192 - then you have 224? 192+64=256, 224-192=32?. Just wondering why 224? (vcd compatibility?), and not 256 (is there a reason?)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Psy RDO now scales automatically, based on the quantizer of the frame. Think that is the most noticeable change between v0.3 and v0.5.
Also note that "Gruntster's Alignment-Fix" is and was always included, because it's required to call libx264 as a DLL ...

Lower filesize doesn't mean "better". See the Psy-RDO thread for more explanations.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Lower filesize doesn't mean "better". See the Psy-RDO thread for more explanations.

Yes, but he was referring to Psy RDO v0.3 vs. Psy RDO v0.5, not to Psy RDO as a whole.

My test showed that Psy RDO makes the file bigger at same CRF, which isn't a big surprise. But compared to v0.3 the v0.5 patch creates slightly smaller files.
In his test the file became actually bigger when switching from v0.3 to v0.5 for some reason. Of course this cannot be used to judge v0.3 vs. v0.5 !!!

A proper test would compare Psy RDO v0.3 against PsyRDO v0.5 in 2-Pass Mode, using the same average bitrate (same target filesize) ...

Where to find newest 4269 Linux build, dear Mulder ? I searched but no luck.

I'm not aware of any pre-compiled SVN builds for Linux....

[Schrade]

Is there any added GUI settings for the Psy-RDO stuff? If so, where do I look in the x2264 config to find it?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Is there any added GUI settings for the Psy-RDO stuff? If so, where do I look in the x2264 config to find it?

There is no GUI control for Psy RDO, because it's not in official Git yet. There already is a GUI control for VAQ, but only in Avidemux 2.5 (not released yet).
Also note that Psy RDO v0.5 scales automatically, based on the quantizer! The "--psy-rd" option only is an additional scaling factor, which is multiplied to the internal scaling factor.
Since you should keep "--psy-rd" at 1.0000 unless there is a very good reason to change it, a GUI control is not very important...

Note that you must use "subme" (Partition Decision) at 6 or higher to use Psy RDO. It will be off otherwise....

Wow that was fast :)
@LoRd_MuldeR
Was there any specific reason to change from libmpeg2 to libavcodec as the default decoder for the Mpeg-2 Part ?

PS: Hmm but it seems still not to work i use 2.4.3 (4276) 24 Jul 2008 from Gruntster his Page and the .m2ts is still not loaded (it seems not to index it @ all) and still i get the "Kann Seitenverhältnis nich bestimmen" Messagebox and it stops :(

http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=4868

[CruNcher]

Wow even the plans to drop it completely, i see tough i guessed libmpeg2 was pretty mature on the other side i didn't followed the libavcodec Mpeg-2 Developments so yeah might be the right time to abondon it.
Tough recently it even commited a new official bugfixed version after quiete a while http://libmpeg2.sourceforge.net/


PS: On the AVC Indexing (Parsing it correctly) issue in .m2ts of Blu-Ray/AVCHD Streams maybe Donald could help the Devs of Avidemux with that :)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Well, why include another mpeg2 decoder library when "libavcodec" can do it? As long as it works okay...

It appears the M2TS parser currently doesn't detect the video stream type. It is hardcoded to MPEG video and therefore the H.264 video stream cannot be interpreted correctly. I'll try to look into this further.

Standard MPEG-TS detects the type of video stream correctly.

Well, does only MediaInfo give that info or do you actually encounter playback problems?
For example: What framerate does MPlayer detect ???

And what container did you save to from Avidemux? MP4? MKV? AVI? ...

[wata]

because some video i encode recently seem not "smooth"
so i check the new encode with mediainfo and compare to some older ones
i don't think i change any setting because i am using custom profile
it is save in mp4 container

Please try again with AVI and report back. You can remux from AVI to MP4/MKV at later time (using YAMB/MP4Box or MKVToolnix).

Seems to work okay with AVI. No idea what is causing your MP4 error, but it might be related to "improve fps accuracy" in r4216.
Maybe you should file a bugreport at https://bugs.avidemux.org/ ...

[gruntster]

The changes to MP4 were made before r4219. Could you try using libx264.dll from r4219 with r4281?

[wata]

already try doesn't matter which version of libx264.dll, r4281 produce Variable Frame rate mode
i also convert the above test avi to mp4 using yamb
here is the mediainfo seem ok no more variable framerate
so i think something is wrong the mp4 output after r4219

I think I misunderstood you. r4219 doesn't work for you either?

You said builds after r4219 present the problem but do you mean builds after and including r4219?

[wata]

no i mean build after r4219 (r4219 is working)
which mean r4269, r4276, r4281 not working for me

i notice build r4269, r4276, r4281, all these four files are the same (r4219 are different)
libglib-2.0-0.dll
libgmodule-2.0-0.dll
libgobject-2.0-0.dll
libgthread-2.0-0.dll

[gruntster]

Ok, thanks. Possibly caused by r4269 as it affects mp4 and mkv.

What player are you using?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Just encoded a video to MP4, using Avidemux r4281 and libx264 r918.
AVInaptic does report the correct framerate, so does MPlayer. Video plays okay...

Using B-frames as reference and increasing max consecutive B-frames may show the problem.

That was one of the reasons for r4269.

Compiled with MinGW GCC 4.3.1-tdm-1 (fprofiled). Modified to be used with current Avidemux builds. Tested with Avidemux 2.4.3 r4281.
Now checking "B-Frames -> Adaptive" will enable the new/slow (Trellis-based) B-Frame decision method, unchecking will use the old/fast method.
Don't be surprised if you see major CPU usage drops on multi-core systems, when the new method is used.

Wouldn't it be better to have the three B-frame adaptivity options (off, fast, optimal) instead of just two?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Wouldn't it be better to have the three B-frame adaptivity options (off, fast, optimal) instead of just two?

Of course! But this would require the x264 config dialog to be changed. In fact both GUI's (GTK+ and Qt) would need to be changed.
I don't think this will happen before the new method officially hits git. Also there will be a completely new x264 dialog (http://www.mediafire.com/?vum2njdjzz9) in upcoming Avidemux 2.5.

Therefore I added a simple hack to libx264, so b_adapt=2 can be used with current (unchanged) Avidemux builds...

That's great the profiles are going to be added to 2.5. It's a big pain to configure everything each time. Any word on when 2.5 will be released?

It's a big pain to configure everything each time.
You can use scripts to save/load your x264 settings in Avidemux. See the FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1006659&postcount=1).

As I said, you better put a bugreport on https://bugs.avidemux.org/ so this one doesn't get forgotten ;)

If you already did so, then you have to wait for MEAN or Gruntster to look into the issue...

[CruNcher]

yeah finaly .m2ts works :) and to some degree even .264 (some glitches still but it indexes it and shows a non decipherable picture) indexing works now :D

dont forget to del *.idx before trying it tough or you get the message it couldn't been opened :)

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Support for raw .264 streams still is a bit buggy.

I tried to open Elephant's Dream (raw .264 extracted from MOV via MP4Box) and Avidemux simply crashed with "Fatal Error" after indexing :o

Re-opening the file will crash immediately ...

How to disable Scenecut in the X264 gui part, i only see a option to change it's strength but no way to disable it 0 is in X264 cli not disable but lowest setting disabling would be -1 and that's not possible in the X264 gui, also floating CRF seems no way to make use of it ?
uff there still seems to be alot of bugs that make it still unusable SAR for .MKV output isnt accepted stays @ 1.25 and SAR for .Mp4 is wrong instead of 1.78 PAL 16/9 (64:45) its outputing 2.22 (tough it detects the source absolutely correctly as 1.78 PAL 16/9 (64:45).

Hi LoRd_MuldeR (or anyone else), I can't seem to get the custom x264 settings to appear in the "custom" menu.

I've followed the instructions in the faqs (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=126164), used notepad++, tried it with/without a video loaded, tried with/without audio section in the script.

Any ideas?

When I try to make a "Direct Stream Copy" of an mpeg file using the MPEG-PS (A+V) container it won't let me because it says: "Incompatible Audio: For VCD, audio must be 44.1 kHz MP2". The audio is 48 kHz MP2.
The problem is I'm not trying to make a VCD, just to cut out commercials from the recording, so why doesn't it let me do it?

New revisions are committed almost every day. New builds are provided each time significant changes have been made, usually at least once a week.
The most simple way to keep your Avidemux version up-to-date is either follow this thread or check Gruntster's Site (http://avidemux.razorbyte.com.au/) regularly!

In case you don't encounter any problems, you don't need to update to the latest SVN build. But before you report any problems, make sure those are still present in the latest build...

Is it possible to allow a larger buffer size for MPEG-2 encodings. I'm encoding 1920x1080i video to 1280x720p. I need a larger buffer size than what is offered for DVD. It would be nice I could cusomize the buffer size myself instead of just picking DVD, VCD, or SVCD.

Ditto with bitrate above 9999kbps.

Anyone else had this issue?

I am doing XviD (around 450mb) to XviD (want to have it be 1 CD or 700mb in size) and it's drastically undersized.

I setup all the params properly and then I use the built-in calc and choose the 1 CD size option, and my video comes out around 551mb. What is causing this? I am using multiple video filters, and upsampling audio 44100hz to 48000hz.

What filters, in which order, at what resolution, and for what duration ?
Any reason you want to have a bigger filesize ? Are you actually upsizing the video ? Isn't the quality already perfect (ie: quantizer 2 for each and every P-frame) ?. Did you set the minimum quantizers in the XviD options to 1 instead of 2 ?

Undersizing is sometimes very normal for certain sources but usually when that happens the quality is already perfect (codecs don't like wasting bits =)).

This was roughly commited 6 weeks ago :) Did you expect another level specifically ?
Dunno about AQ though ... maybe it's enabled but the header is wrong ?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

In Avidemux you cannot adjust AQ yet, it will always use the default of "2:1.0".
However Yonta used "rc=cqp", so he explicitly enforces constant quantizers, hence no AQ. The header is correct :p
No idea why one would use CQP instead of CRF. The latter performs MUCH better ...

I encoded with x264.exe CLI without specifying level and it came out as High@L3.1. So, no problem.
Regarding AQ being disabled by default, I chose Single Pass - Quality Quantizer (Constant) instead of Single Pass - Quality Quantizer (Average), my bad.

Yes, in fact CRF is "Constant Rate Factor", it's not "Average Quantizer". The quantizer you enter for CRF mode is multiplied with a magic number in order to calculate the rate factor. Internally only that rate factor will be used for a CRF encode. However the magic number was chooses specifically to make CRF act like an "Average Quantizer" mode.

the variable framerate bug (for mp4 output) is still there with latest version, Avidemux 2.4.3 SVN-r4304 (2008-09-02)

I don't see any change on the log, which refers to that problem. So we have to wait for a fix...

Move adaptive quantization to before ratecontrol, eliminate qcomp bias. This change improves VBV accuracy and improves bit distribution in CRF and 2pass.
WARNING: This change redefines CRF when using AQ, so output bitrate for a given CRF may be significantly different from before this change!

Note: Latest Avidemux build uses "libx264-61.dll" instead of "libx264.dll". You must rename the DLL to use it with older builds...

hi, both the r4346 and your patch version r4347 doesn't fix it
both the version produce undersize files

i try with a few player media classic/mplayer/kmplayer
although some players display correct fps (mplayer), but both the files produce by r4346/r4347 playback stuttering

after some more tests, changing x264 settings
(i alway use the same custom setting previously for all test)
i think the problem may be cause by b_pyramid
but still it does not output constant frame rate mode mp4 like those produce by other encoding gui (megui...)

how come the 'offset' and 'ratio' parameters for B-frames in Xvid where never implemented?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

how come the 'offset' and 'ratio' parameters for B-frames in Xvid where never implemented?

What exactly are those settings supposed to do?

[bizz & buzz]

ratio = adds a pre-defined quantizer ratio to the I-frames quantizer, and apply it to the B-frames

offset = also adds to the b-frames quantizer, but with no relation to the I-frames quantizer.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I just checked the VfW version of Xvid and it does have these options. So these options obviously are implemented in Xvid.
Avidemux simply doesn't reveal those options yet. You may file a feature request, although Xvid appears to be a dead project anyway...

[bizz & buzz]

great, thanks for the lightning-speed reply!

btw, how to i file this feature request?

and i don't know if these parameters exist in H.264, but if so, I'll check if Avidemux doesn't reveal those options also

[LoRd_MuldeR]

btw, how to i file this feature request?

Either create a new thread in the Avidemux Forums (http://avidemux.org/admForum/) or add a "Feature Request" to the Avidemux Bugtracker (http://bugs.avidemux.org/).

and i don't know if these parameters exist in H.264, but if so, I'll check if Avidemux doesn't reveal those options also

Avidemux does reveal the "Factor between I- and P-Frame quants" and "Factor between P- and B-Frame quants" options for the x264 encoder.

But I'd highly recommend to keep the default settings, unless you have a very good reason to change them...

[bizz & buzz]

I'm still a bit clueless regarding H.264, but it's good to know these options are available.

i'll post the "Feature Request" tomorrow.

thank you again, you've been a great help!

[gruntster]

hi, both the r4346 and your patch version r4347 doesn't fix it

Thanks for the feedback. I think I've now isloated the problem and it's just a case of how to fix it properly. Hopefully I will have another patched build for you to try tomorrow.

[gruntster]

@wata, could you please try the patch here (http://www.razorbyte.com.au/dev_dump).

Edit: there appears to still be an issue with b-pyramid. It should work better without b-pyramid than before though. Still investigating...
Edit2: found the second problem. Will post another patch soon.
Edit3: new r4364 patch is available (same link as above). A dirty hack was removed from our x264 wrapper a while ago because it was interferring with MKV, however MP4 was relying on the hack. It should now be fixed properly. QuickTime should now be able to play the MP4 files too.

[poisondeathray]

Thanks for you hard work, gruntster

I tried the patch and can confirm better QT compatibility. Whereas before, the .mp4 wrapper didn't work in QT at all.

But it changes something in the container level that makes the video display 720x480 instead of 640x480 in QT

There is still an issue with VFR mode, even without b-pyramid. (r4364 patch 3) (e.g. I just re-wrapped a .mp4 using copy mode on a video encoded with MeGUI with QT compatible settings). The time scale is changed according to mp4box info

Test clip (1.44MB) - (originally encoded with MeGUI PAR 1:1, re-wrapped with YAMB to specify PAR 8:9)

There is still an issue with VFR mode, even without b-pyramid. (r4364 patch 3) (e.g. I just re-wrapped a .mp4 using copy mode on a video encoded with MeGUI with QT compatible settings)

I didn't try copying. :rolleyes: I can reproduce the problem.

Do you get any VFR issues if you encode instead of copy?

[poisondeathray]

I can't seem to reproduce the VFR issues when encoding with the patch :)

I experienced something similar to wata before (RE: the vfr issue), but couldn't reproduce it reliably on every clip even before the patch

I'll keep on testing and see under what circumstances it appears

Thanks

EDIT: I tested a few MPEG2 & VOB clips, opened directly with avidemux with the unpatched build and they all were VFR. Upon testing them with the patched build, all were CFR (default encoding settings in testing for both patched/unpatched trials). Copying mode seems to change to VFR regardless of patched or unpatched

[gruntster]

Thanks for the feedback. I've found the problem and it should only affect copying. Not sure the best way to fix it just yet...

[gruntster]

Ok, I have another patched build here (http://www.razorbyte.com.au/dev_dump). Copying and encoding should now be ok.

[poisondeathray]

Thx gruntster.

Some more observations:

Patch 4 fixes copy & encode on PAL framerate movies 25 => 25

But on NTSC spec 29.970 => 29.973 , 23.976 => 23.977 in both encode & copy mode
(as reported by mediainfo, not sure if it's real, or if it will make a sync difference on a full length movie)

[gruntster]

Is the frame rate mode still constant and only the fps incorrect?

I used 23.976 fps and 29.970 fps clips during testing and they worked fine. Perhaps it requires a longer sample for the issue to appear.

[poisondeathray]

Yes frame rate is constant now in all cases. I'll try again on some longer clips and report back if it is a problem

[poisondeathray]

Sorry for the false alarm, it seems the frame rate is constant, and normal upon farther testing. Nice work!

[gruntster]

Great. Thanks for the testing!

Avidemux 2.4.3 SVN-r4376 (2008-09-19)
http://www.avidemux.org/

There were a few issues that are now hopefully resolved:
some containers were prefilling to accomodate b-frames, which is ok for x264 since it throws empty frames right at the start. However, MPEG-4 ASP tends to throw them from the second frame onwards, which prefilling misses.
some containers weren't even prefilling (AVI/OGM)
x264 was being flushed with the last frame for every empty frame it originally threw. This works for some encoders but x264 isn't one of them; it needs null frames to flush otherwise it considers it an additional frame.
Xvid and libavcodec weren't being flushed at all

Result of my first quick test, using 6 threads:
x264 displays a lot of "x264 [error]: 2nd pass has more frames than 1st pass" warnings in 2-Pass mode -> FIXED
x264 crashes near the end of the second pass when using "--b-adapt 2" together with 2-Pass mode -> FIXED
x264 eats the last few frames (encode shorter than source) when using "--b-adapt 2" together with CRF mode -> FIXED

Revision 4376 (20 Sep 2008)
# Updated ATK to version 1.22.0-2.
# Updated GLib to version 2.18.1-1.
# Updated GTK+ to version 2.14.2-1.
# Updated Libxml2 to version 2.7.1.
# Updated Pango to version 1.20.5-2.
# Updated Qt to version 4.4.2.
# Updated x264 to r979 (patched).

4376 - [ogm] support delayed frames
4375 - [mp4] remove prefilling and support delayed frames
4374 - [flv] remove prefilling and support delayed frames
4373 - [dummy] remove prefilling and support delayed frames for dummy container
4372 - [libavcodec] support flushing using null frames
4371 - [xvid] support flushing using null frames
4370 - [avi] remove prefilling since it doesn't cater for empty frames that occur mid-stream (e.g. Xvid with B-frames).
4369 - [x264] flushing encoder with duplicate frames doesn't work correctly; x264 wants a null frame
4368 - [encoder] set Xvid and x264 as requiring flushing after encoding due to B-frames. Also check requirements of libavcodec encoders for flushing.
4367 - [encoder] allow all encoders to return a requirements flag
4366 - [Win32] disable buffering for log file so external libs don't jumble output
4365 - [mp4] only let libavformat calculate DTS when encoding (and not copying)
4364 - [muxer] let libavformat know H.264 video may use bpyramid
4363 - [mp4] let libavformat calculate DTS for MP4
4362 - [muxer] remove the use of doubles in the libavformat muxer wrapper when calculating video PTS & DTS as it causes rounding issues
4361 - [mp4] missing update for mp4 muxer
4360 - [mp4] update mp4 muxer (ffmpeg r15276)
4359 - [x264] remove unnecessary delay mechanism as it is handled by the muxer
4358 - [avi] perform an encoder delay if necessary like the other muxers
4357 - [x264] build fix for libx264 core 63
4347 - [Qt] use a groupbox for dialogFactory's frame

LoRd_MuldeR or Gruntster: do you know if there is a plan to add psy-rdo/psy-trellis/AQ settings to the x264 configuration GUI, or a command line box?

AQ options are there already! Psy RDO will be used with the recommended default strength of 1.0, Psy Trellis will be off by default.

You may file a bugreport/featurerequest if you need to adjust PsyRDO/PsyTrellis and hopefully Gruntster or Mean will hear you :)

[poisondeathray]

oops. I see AQ in the Qt4 version, but not the GTK+ (which I normally use). Is there a reason to use one version over the other?

Thanks

@ozhanesk90: Is 128 kbs the maximum bitrate or is it the average bitrate?

EDIT: I just did an encode at 64 kbps and it came out at an average bitrate of 111 kbps. That's definitely wrong.

EIDIT²: When downmixing to Mono then the 64 kbps encode comes out at an average bitrate of exactly 64 kbps.

Maybe 64 kbps is simply too low for a Stereo stream? :confused:

Yes, I remember. Don't think it was ever resolved. Maybe the "Stereo vs. Mono" aka "too low bitrate" theory makes sense?

[gruntster]

Yes, I remember. Don't think it was ever resolved. Maybe the "Stereo vs. Mono" aka "too low bitrate" theory makes sense?

I thought it was solved and was due to me inappropriately building DRM versions of FAAC, which should no longer be the case. :)

Thread:
http://www.avidemux.org/admForum/viewtopic.php?id=3103

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Well, I can easily reproduce the problem with your latest Avidemux build. I select "64 kbps" for a Stereo stream, but I get an average audio-bitrate of 111 kbps.
So either there is a bug somewhere -or- 64 kbps is simply too low for FAAC and Stereo sound, so FAAC relaxes the bitrate restriction...

[DarkZell666]

Yes, I remember. Don't think it was ever resolved. Maybe the "Stereo vs. Mono" aka "too low bitrate" theory makes sense?

The CLI version of faac (v1.26.1 from rarewares.org (http://www.rarewares.org/aac-encoders.php#faac-win)) seems to be partially in agreement with you :devil:

I just encoded some music with it at 64kbps, 96kbps and 128kbps without problems, but when I asked for 32kbps it wouldn't go lower than 58kbps :)
This is most probably because sub-64kbps bitrates are for the HE profiles, and FAAC doesn't do HE :/

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Yup. But in Avidemux it already fails to go below ~128 kbps for a Stereo stream...

[gruntster]

Avidemux doesn't report the correct audio bitrate for MP4 and MKV containers. AVI works though.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Avidemux doesn't report the correct audio bitrate for MP4 and MKV containers. AVI works though.

I checked the output bitrates with Avinaptic. And it says "111 kbps", although I had configured FAAC to "64 kbps" in Avidemux...

[DarkZell666]

Avidemux doesn't report the correct audio bitrate for MP4 and MKV containers. AVI works though.

I guess this warning from mplayer is a "proof" of it ? :
FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming 128kbit/s!
But avinaptic is right indeed :)
I even encoded to xvid+aac inside avi just to check, and mplayer also reports ~110-ish bitrates (no warning from FAAD this time).

[gruntster]

Ok, should be fixed r4455. Looks like the problem has been around for quite some time.

The bitrate isn't reported correctly for MP4/MKV, but the stream is actually encoded with the bitrate you asked for. Simply demux the .aac track from the .mkv and playback the .aac directly so you can check the real audio bitrate (cf. a couple of posts earlier, #948 and #950).

I don't worry my audio kbps No matter what audio seems, I only want to encode 64 or 56 kbps or less... But isn't possible yet :(I want Because I'm x264 Small Size Video Encoder So audio not important than video for me :D

regarding latest version of Avidemux, 2.4.3 SVN-r4486 (2008-10-18)

something change seem to cause filesize of encode video (x264) to varies with exact same setting (save it as project so nothing change)
the souce is a test mpeg2 file with avs setting (resize, crop etc) connect to the avsproxy
each time i close avidemux and reopen it to encode the filesize changes

test with all version from avidemux_2.4_r4445_win32 to avidemux_2.4_r4486_win32 as all is using same x264 r999
and using crf=18
notice output from r4486 alway is different size

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Not sure what could have changed the filesize between Avidemux r4473 and Avidemux r4486, as both builds use libx264 r999.
Also I don't see any changes regarding x264 in the Avidemux core application between r4473 and r4486.

However I just made a few quick test encodes with Avidemux r4486 (x264 r999) in CRF mode and I got this:
x264-r999-1.avi 10.494.574 Byte
x264-r999-2.avi 10.494.574 Byte
x264-r999-3.avi 10.494.614 Byte

Two encodes came out at the exactly same size, the last one was slightly bigger (the deviation is less than 0.001%)
So I think this very small derivation can be explained with the indeterministics of multi-threaded x264...

[DarkZell666]

@wata : would you mind posting your settings ? does x264 actually behave the same with the same settings ?

OTOH, multi-threading isn't naturally undeterministic. Only the time at which each threads finishes varies, not the result of the calculations. It can be if the threads are badly coded though (with non-synchronized shared memory access for example ?). At least that's what I was taught in class (I've never had lessons on determinism in programming).

Well, multi-threading is not inherently indeterministic. That's right.

However multi-threaded x264 is indeterministic for sure, if the "--non-deterministic" switch is used.
And I'm not even sure that multi-threaded x264 is guaranteed to be deterministic without that switch.

x264, in threaded mode, is not necessarily deterministic.Its not deterministic--that is, if you run it two times, it won't give exactly the same results.

[wata]

nevermind, i try a few more test encode now the filesize varies for the previous version too
i think it is cause by the avsproxy
sometime i get 2 same size file but the third one differ alot not sure which setting in the avs is causing it
right now i will just stick with the internal filters which has same otuput filesize no matter how many time i encode
anyway, here the my avs file:

DGDecode_mpeg2source("e:\=x264 test\test.d2v")
Load_Stdcall_Plugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\yadif.dll")
Yadif(order=1)

The AAC (Advanced Audio Codec)

AAC was first specified in the standard MPEG-2 Part 7 in 1997 and updated in MPEG-4 Part 3 in 1999. AAC is more linear, eliminating the hybrid approach in favor of a pure MDCT. To better encode both stationary signals and transient signals, the encoder can decide to use a wide 1024 samples window for the MDCT (better frequency resolution for stationary signals) or a set of 8 x 128 samples MDCTs (better time resolution in transient signals). This approach, with other optimizations (better join stereo, entropy coding, perceptual noise shaping, etc..) , assure to AAC an higher perceptual quality compared to MP3 at the same bitrate, expecially below 128Kbit/s.

HE-AAC

This enhanced version of AAC introduces the SBR Technique (Side Band Replication). With SBR, a signal frequency spectrum is split in half. The part below 22KHz (lower frequencies) is encoded as usual, the part above (higher frequencies) is reconstructed as a trasformation of the spectrum envelope of the low frequencies block. A very small side-bitstream gives to the decoder the addictional informations necessary to reconstruct the final signal. With SBR, a signal of around 70-75Kbit/s is only slightly worst than a 128Kbit/s MP3.

http://www.progettosinergia.com/flashvideo/sbr_2_codec.gif

HE-AAC v2

The latest update of AAC standard, introduces the Parametric Stereo Technique (PS). With PS, only a mono signal is encoded and trasmitted, the second audio signal (supposing a stereo signal in input) is analysed and a set of parameters found and trasmitted to the decoder. These parameters describe matematically the difference beetween the left and the right channel in a stereo sound. This technique allow a further level of compression. At 64Kbit/s, a HE-AAC coded sound and a HE-AAC v2 codec sound are almost identical, but at lower bitrate, as 48Kbit/s, 32Kbit/s and 24Kbit/s, HE-AAC v2 produces a signal with an higher perceptal quality.

http://www.progettosinergia.com/flashvideo/PS_level1.gif

Conclusion

The support of AAC allows us to encode our sounds to 64Kbit/s with the same quality of a 128Kbit/s encoded MP3. Further more, for other use more susceptible to bandwidth usage, like Internet Radio, HE-AAC v2 gives us the possibility to encode our sounds to 32Kbit/s or lower with a surpraisingly good final result. In low bitrate streaming scenarios this can make the difference.

is it possible our avidemux?

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Avidemux already supports AAC via FAAC. However only LC-AAC is supported via FAAC, because FAAC cannot encode to HE-AAC yet.

Since there is no OpenSource HE-AAC encoder available yet, it is not possible to add HE-AAC support to Avidemux at the moment!
You may encode your audio stream to HE-ACC using the free Nero AAC encoder. Then you can multiplex the HE-AAC with the video from Avidemux.
And don't expect too much benefit from HE-AAC over LC-AAC. HE-ACC really is only helpful at ultra-low bitrates.

BTW: mp3PRO used the very same technique that HE-AAC uses to squish out more quality at ultra-low bitrates - with limited success.

I couldn't choose jvt matrix. I choose but close window and open again its manualy choosing flat matrix

[LoRd_MuldeR]

I couldn't choose jvt matrix. I choose but close window and open again its manualy choosing flat matrix

GTK+ or Qt interface?

Also: There is no sane reason to use "jvt" matrix. x264 works best with the default "flat" matrix.

flat is not a custom matrix it's the DEFAULT quantization. JVT matrix is included too though and it's quite useless. like the default mpeg quantization matrix in xvid.

Hadamard_ac... ooooooooooh, it is a bug in psy-RD, but in the assembly, not the C code or the algorithm!

I'm going to guess there was some sort of overflow, considering the fact that it only happens on a black/white area like that.

[...]

Here's Akupenguin's fix. (http://akuvian.org/src/x264/hadamard_ac.diff)

It seems to fix the problem; it avoids possibility of overflow as far as I can tell.

If no issues are reported, I'll commit it locally (yes, yes, r1k is coming soon!).

I have a question about setting audio delay in Avidemux: If I open a VOB or similar directly, does Avidemux automatically determine the audio delay and compensate (during encoding or remuxing) or do I need to enter the value manually? Thanks.

You need to do that manually ^^
You can either go by trial and error, or index+demux the audio track in dgmpgdec and read the correct delay from the filename of the demuxed ac3 track :)

Thanks. That's what I had done a while ago but this time around I didn't want to double the delay by mistake.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

Also you can goto "Audio" -> "Main Track" in Avidemux to see the delay calculated by Avidemux. In my experience DGIndex delivers a more accurate delay though.

I still wonder why Avidemux does calculate a delay (accurate or not), but doesn't apply it automatically...

The quality and encoding speed(compiled by VS2005) is very close to Real's RACP. However it only supports stereo and up to 52kbps.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

The quality and encoding speed(compiled by VS2005) is very close to Real's RACP. However it only supports stereo and up to 52kbps.

Sounds pretty low, even for HE-AAC (AAC + SBR) aka "aacPlus v1". I think ~52 kbps is more the range for aacPlus v2 (AAC + SBR + PS).

Is Parametric Stereo (PS) supported by that encoder?

And most important: Is that encoder only working as a CLI encoder or can it be compiled as a library?

[roozhou]

It supports both SBR and PS. It is written in floating-point ANSI-C and of course can be compiled as a library.

IMHO SBR+PS can never be better than SBR even at <32 kbps.

[LoRd_MuldeR]

of course can be compiled as a library.

That's not so obvious :p

But this way there is at least a chance that somebody will integrate it into Avidemux...
