AutoMKV 0.93a - (DVD/TS/AVI/AVS to X264/XviD/WVC1 into MKV/MP4/WMV) update 30/12/2007

[buzzqw]

Did you understand the problem that no matter what rate you load in a profile, if you check the "Use This Profile" (perhaps you changed the v_keydist) the rate gets multiplied by 1024. If you don't check this, it does not get multiplied by 1024 ??

to correct this i had divided in profiles by 1000 the v_bitrate
Es. from <v_bitrate>512000</v_bitrate> to <v_bitrate>512</v_bitrate>
i hadn't change the code, this value will be multiplied by 1024 in final script

Are you inviting me to do that instead of you, or in addition, or what?

i had already done, BUT i would like if can suggest/build more correct profiles

Everything I did with movie.avs and movie_wmv.bat was AFTER the encoding stalled and I terminated the WME script command window

please look at time.avs: is avisource or directshowsource in use ?
also: is frame.txt created ?

x264.exe just starts idling when about 10% is encoded
this issue is related to you pc AND x264.exe, try disabling Antivirus/firewall

tell me any progress!

@buzzqw:

What you have done with the Zune profiles sounds good to me. Only after I test them would I possibly have any changes to suggest. Thanks!

I can create the .xml files based on your posts, or should I wait for the next version, in case there are other things you changed, not mentioned in your posts?

Regarding the 1024 bitrate factor, are you saying no code change is needed beyond 74e -- just using 512 instead of 512000 in the xml profile?

[buzzqw]

sounds good to me... tomorrow i will pm you with a direct link to new WMV ZUNE profile package.
Do your best on changing/fixing these profiles !

Regarding the 1024 bitrate factor, are you saying no code change is needed beyond 74e -- just using 512 instead of 512000 in the xml profile?
YES! since i multiply by 1000 there is no need to write 512000

@buzzqw
I edited the Zune_1pass_quick profile to 512 for bitrate (instead of 512000). This prevents the huge numbers, as you said it would. However there are still some minor problems that you might want to fix in the next release:

I have saved this profile in my automkv.ini file. If I start the program and go to the Advanced profile Editing tab, the command line window will have some odd number (like 128000) for the v_bitrate. If I click Reload Profile the number changes to 512000. If I then check Use this Profile the number changes to 524288 (= 512000 * 1.024). If I encode before checking Use this Profile the bitrate passed to the encoder will by 512000. After checking it, the bitrate passed is 524288.

Shouldn't the command line window and the number passed to the encoder be identical for all these conditions?

If I set the bitrate up to 600 on the Advanced Settings tab, the value used for encoding is 624400 (i.e., 600000 * 1.024). Looks like 1000 is used in some cases and 1024 in others.

These are minor inconsistencies -- no significant difference in the encoding result -- just confusing to the operator.

I'll look forward to your PM regarding the new profiles.

Regards and thanks.

[dlflannery]

I modified the Zune_2_pass profile as follows:

1. v_bitrate at 512 instead of 512000
2. v_peakbitrate at 736000 instead of 1500000

I used 64kpbs audio so the total peak bit rate should have been 800 kbps or less.

The encoded .wmv had a peak bitrate (mediaInfo says) of 1.2 Mbps! Looking at the options file for the WME command line script indicates that the v_mode option should be 4 (instead of 3 now used) if the peak bitrate is going to be limited by the v_peakbitrate option.

So I further modified the profile by using 4 for v_mode. However the command line passed to the script now was missing several things:
1. v_codec
2. v_bitrate
3 v_mode
and the encoding was not good -- single pass very low bitrate.

So I modified movie_wmv.bat by adding these options:
-v_codec WMV8
-v_bitrate 512000
-v_mode 4
The encoding went OK and the result .wmv was good. MediaInfo said the peak bitrate was 736 kbps, as desired, and the file synched to the Zune device without forced re-encoding and played fine. It looks like some code changes will be needed to implement this 2-pass VBR WMV8 profile, since apparently the code removed three needed parameters from the encoder command line options when I set the v_mode to 4 in the profile XML file (???). Also, probably should use 64_44_2 for the audio option instead of 128_44_2.

I repeated but with v_bitrate set to 400. All OK and the clip played fine on the Zune device with no noticeable quality loss compared to 512 bitrate. The file size was reduced to 85% of what it was at 512. My interest in 2-pass started recently when an OP PM'ed me they were having blocks in fast motion portions using the 1-pass CBR profile. I would guess with peak bitrate allowed up to 736 kbps, the blocks would be removed even at only 400 kbps average rate. (I've never had blocks but none of my test videos have enough rapid motion, I guess.)

Got the profiles and test program. The Zune 2 pass profile tests good! Got the same file length (within 6 bytes) that I got with my modified movie_wvm.bat before, and the specs per mediaInfo are identical. Plays good on Zune device and does not require re-encoding on synch. With this profile (and any WMV7 or WMV8 VBR mode 4) the audio bitrate should be limited to 64kbps. Is there a way to have the program enforce that?

I will test the other Zune profiles but I looked at them and they seem correct.

I still see the command line v_bitrate jumping up by factor of 1.024 when I check "Use this Profile" (??).

Looks good so far! Thanks!

@glynor
i prefer not to do hack... expecially due on quickcrapplayer bugs... , BUT go on advenced settings, click on last avs string and add: AssumeFPS(30000,1001) or AssumeFPS(24000,1001)
BHH

Thanks. I can certainly understand you not wanting to do a hack for Apple's incompetent software.

Unfortunately, I tried out using the AssumeFPS(30000,1001) and it still doesn't work. The results are somewhat better, but still no good (I now don't get an error message, and the audio plays, but the video is black in Quicktime Player). I've tried a wide variety of settings and profiles, including limiting the output bitrate to 600 and the width to 320). Interestingly, when I include the AssumeFPS(30000,1001) line with a 29.970 FPS source, the resulting MP4 I get is 29.971 FPS, but I no longer get the error message in QTPlayer, just the black video window.

The main reason I need to be able to support Quicktime Player is that I have a lot of people I produce content for that use Macs. VLC is available for OSX and works, but I can't force people to install and use additional software... :(

Also, a lot of people I know in other forums have expressed interest in using AutoMKV to produce iPod compatible MP4s, but I can't get this to work well either. If I select the PD-iPod 5.5G.xml profile with basically any encoding settings, I get this:

http://www.geocities.com/ri0n/automkv/ipod_fails.jpg

The vanilla PD-iPod.xml profile appears to work, but I still get no video playback in Quicktime (which makes me think it's not gonna work on an actual iPod either, though I don't have one available to test right this second).

Anyone have any further ideas? I've searched for the past two hours around the forums but haven't come up with much...

[buzzqw]

i have an idea of what search around... but i first MUST (and i dislike) install quicktime player :(

BHH

[glynor]

Can't say I blame you there!

My office is about 70% mac users, so I don't have much choice to support them. I like Quicktime on the Mac honestly, but for Windows I certainly prefer the alternative...

[Shark_jlc]

I already had DVDFab Decrypter installed, so I grabbed the AutoMKV build that did not have it.

When I run AutoMKV, it appears to not detect my installation of DVDFab Decrypter and DGIndex just kinda... sits there.

Also, a clean way to cancel an encode would be nice.

Thanks for the tool!

[dlflannery]

I've tested all three 2-pass Zune profiles. No problems were seen. Peak bitrates reported by mediaInfo are 736kbps for WMV7 and WMV8 and 1.5 Mbps for WMV9. All files synched without re-encoding to my Zune device and played fine. It may have been my imagination but I actually thought I could detect the slight quality differences.

I happened to find a strange problem. Just before one encoding I was curious about what resizers were available so I pulled down the Resize Filter menu. I didn't change the filter from the Simple Resize that is normally there. However the encoding called the WMCmd script twice. The first time was very short, then the second time produced the output file which was OK. Here is part of the log file:

22:43:03 Autoresize CMD: cscript.exe "C:\AutoMKV074\exe\encoder\WMCmd.vbs" -input "C:\Video\ForZune\temp\resmovie.avs" -output "C:\Video\ForZune\temp\resmovie.wmv" -v_codec WMV7 -v_mode 2 -v_quality 85 -s_config "C:\Video\ForZune\temp\wmv_crb" -v_bframedist 1 -v_dquantoption 2 -v_lookahead 0 -v_mbmodecost 0 -v_mmatch 0 -v_mslevel 1 -v_msrange 0 -v_mvcoding 1 -v_mvcost 0 -v_peakbitrate 736000 -v_bdeltaqp 1 -a_codec WMASTD -a_mode 0 -title "Bf2passQktest" -year 2007 -copyright "Done with AutoMKV! 0.74e" -a_setting 64_44_2

Doesn't work that way actually: the no-fab version of AutoMKV is not for those who have fab installed, but rather for those who due to legal constraints would be in violation of local law if fab was downloaded... Plus AutoMKV needs a specific version of fab decrypter, one which understands command line switches.

Bottomline: just download the "full" version (and do make sure that in your first rip with the automkv's embedded fab you answer "no" to the "fab updated version found; update?" prompt)

[buzzqw]

@cosmos

thanks, good answer!

automkv will dinamically parse value in its box... so it will wait till a choice is made (even if encoding is started)

You have thrown so much effort into maintaining AutoMKV and answering questions around, that I really feel I have to return something as well :) :helpful: Just our appreciation for all the work you've done for a great piece of software :)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi glynor,

If you want MPEG-4 AVC encodes to be QuickTime player 7 compatible, you will have to edit the "CE-QuickTime.xml" file. You need to change the default number of B-frames from "1" to "0". And only encode using "2Ch" AAC audio.

QT7 will then be able to save the .MP4 file to .MOV ;)

Please note: This is not an issue with AutoMKV... it's been around for a year or so.


Cheers

BHH
The encoding is set up identically in two cases but in one case the extra run of WMCmd.vbs occurs. The only difference was in one case I pulled down the Resize Filter menu to look at the choices but did not change the filter choice from what it already was. This was done before starting encoding. This does not seem logical to me. What is the first short run doing?

[buzzqw]

the extra run could be due to AUTORESIZE, if you leave width=AUTO , automkv will try to define the better width (and so more wvm to run)

BHH

Well I'm confused as well... :confused:

That file you posted plays just fine for me in Quickcraptime Player as well! However, I did my best to reproduce those settings exactly, except for the framerate of the source footage and no joy (it won't play the video). Here's two example files, neither of which play in QT for me. One was done with no hacks at all (no AssumeFPS and no hack to the Quicktime profile to turn off B-frames), and the other was done with both. Combinations of the two (with the B-Frames hack but no AssumeFPS and vice versa) makes no difference....

Wait, wait wait....

:stupid:

While I was finishing making those example files up (and after I had typed the above), I noticed that this entire time, I'd been using the eqm_avc_hr.cfg custom matrix. I set that a long while ago and basically forgot it was even there (I mean I knew it was there, but it never dawned on me that it would matter)... Your example was identical to mine in pretty much every way other than the framerate and the custom matrix. When I disabled the custom matrix, the QT Player could play the resulting files just fine, with no hacks required.

Sorry!!! And thanks so much for the help! I wouldn't have figured it out without the example file to compare side by side...

That change fixed the issue with playback and both the CE-Quicktime.xml profile and the PD-iPod.xml profile. The PD-iPod 5.5G.xml profile still crashes x264 though, so that's still unusable and is something else... (But, frankly, who cares if the vanilla iPod profile works.)

[buzzqw]

no bframes wasn't an issue ? good... no need to change the profile :)

and now i will do some testing on ipod profiles!

thanks glynor ! :))

BHH

EDIT: fixed ipod 5.5 error... simply change <level>7<level> to <level>3<level> :D

[glynor]

no bframes wasn't an issue ? good... no need to change the profile :)

Nope. B-Frames were not the issue. Working fine with the existing profile.

Thanks again! I'm very pleased!

EDIT: You have no idea how much time this has just saved me in my everyday work. AutoMKV on my Core2 Duo windows machine absolutely stomps on my PowerMac G5 Quad with Apple Compressor in encoding time. Plus, I think the quality is a better to boot!! All I have to do now is export my projects out of Final Cut Pro to DV AVI files, and I can use AutoMKV to do the heavy-lifting MPEG-4 compression!

I did figure this out after reading through the last 10 or so pages of this thread.

However, it's unfortunate that that is how AutoMKV works with DVDFab Decrypter, because that version does not correctly work with the movies I am trying to rip.

At least, that is my guess after getting a 7 Kb wmv file for a 2+ hour disney movie

Do you have WMV codecs installed (try another non-DVD file...)?
And convert to WMV.

[TheRyuu]

Is there some list of what all the abbreviations mean?

Like on all of the X264 codec xml scripts.
What does the AE (Anime?) mean, CE, HQ (high quality?)

Also, two situations, what would be the best setup/filters.
Anime episode/movie.
And regular movie.

I've been using No resize (to keep it at 720x480 since thats what I want). And the Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ") (best quality?) for animes and Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") for movies.
(if I resized it I would use Lanczos4Resize)

And for a custom matrix I've been using Sharktooth's EQM v3ULR.cqm with Xvid Extra Slow (default) and with X264 I've been using M4G_High_Detail_V3.1.cfg.

Any suggestions (and what some of the abbreviations mean...)? Thanks.
Great program BTW. Love it.

[buzzqw]

Like on all of the X264 codec xml scripts.

I've been using No resize (to keep it at 720x480 since thats what I want). And the Convolution3d (preset="animeBQ") (best quality?) for animes and Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") for movies.

conservative and good filter, for already clean anime/film (used to gain a little bit of compressibility)

And for a custom matrix I've been using Sharktooth's EQM v3ULR.cqm with Xvid Extra Slow (default) and with X264 I've been using M4G_High_Detail_V3.1.cfg.

Attention... Attention Ultra LOW Rate is for bitrate very low less then 500kbs is it your case ?

@ALL

ok, i had found the way to run all script minimized, without any (or very few) prompt that steal window... BUT... what is the lose ?

i cannot guarantee that "prepare only phase" will fuction again, also i will use vbs script (as an old suggestion of glynor) and some nasty and bad antivirus (namely Norton) can intercept those files as virus... :p
Again: wcscript SHOULD be present in all win2k and MUST be in winXP but i cannot bet on it...

please tell me your opinion

to test if wcscript is installed download this file http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/test.vbs and launch it (i can guarantee that is SAFE to run)

EDIT: or create a new test.vbs and paste this Wscript.echo "AutoMKV Test"

Hi Buzz,

I've been meaning to ask you. When generating MP4 files with AAC audio and MPEG-4 video, is there any particular reason why the AAC ADTS audio stream is muxed into the MP4 container twice container?

The first time as an AAC "audio only" in MP4 stream. And the second time as the finished/completed .MP4 file with video.


PS: I was bored the other day so I designed some tweeks to the GUI... I'll PM them to you ;)

[buzzqw]

@SMD

well.. and old story... since mkvmerge dislike aac audio i mux the CCT AAC audio file in MP4 , so this MP4 files could be muxed without hassle into mp4 or mkv

about gui.. feel free to post ! thanks!

BHH

[TheRyuu]

Attention... Attention Ultra LOW Rate is for bitrate very low less then 500kbs is it your case ?
BHH

No. Thanks for letting me know what it was though.

Is there a good all around custom matrix?
And before I even start the encode, how am I suppose to know the bitrate since doesn't AutoMKV automatically select a bitrate?

Also what would be a good HQ custom matrix?

[SeeMoreDigital]

@SMD

well.. and old story... since mkvmerge dislike aac audio i mux the CCT AAC audio file in MP4 , so this MP4 files could be muxed without hassle into mp4 or mkvThanks for confirming... I suspected it might have had something to do with MKV muxing...

By-the-way, when generating AAC-HE streams have you considered configuring MP4Box to add the "sbr" CLI tag during .MP4 muxing?

[dlflannery]

I captured some movies (30 fps) from a Canon SD450 digital camera. They are .avi and contain 640x480 mjpeg video and pcm audio, single channel (mono) at 88 kbps with 11 kbps sampling rate.

I have tried various combinations of inputting either the .avi or a .avs using directShowSource or AVISource, and either checking or not checking "Use Direct Show" in AutoMKV. The only way that works is if I load the .avi and check prepare only.

Then I modify the movie.avs file by adding the line shown in bold here:

audio=EnsureVBRMP3Sync(audio)
audio = MergeChannels(audio,audio)
audio=ConvertAudioToFloat(audio)
audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)
audiodub(audio,last)

Then if I run movie_wmv.bat I get a good result. This is for the Zune profiles (the new ones you PM'ed me).

I think the mono sound is the problem. The WME encoder determines a file length only about 30% of the true length (unless the extra line is added to movie.avs).

Unfortunately I don't see how to fix this by adding a last line to movie.avs. If you run the original movie.avs in WMP you get the error message that it tried to get a non-existing channel, which I assume comes from the line:

audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)

which fails with mono audio (?).

Is there any way to handle this without doing prepare only, and editing the movie.avs file?

Aha! Mono selection for WMV audio! Works great!
I thank you "mono a mono" :rolleyes:

I assume that was a test version -- it had some quirks:
1. If I tried to adjust the audio bitrate the mono reverted to stereo and could not be set to mono again.

2. A message box appeared twice on program startup asking if I wanted fixed or unlimited size. (I chose unlimited.)

3. I queued 4 mono conversions and it locked up during, or just after, encoding the first one. The behavior in terms of time and files created was as if the mono was not in effect.

BTW, the new .74 version (opposed to .72) fixed a problem I had with pulling out multiple audio streams.

I seem to be stuck in an endless cycle of it saying "Hit media size" or "go unlimited". Whether I try to change the profile or the format or the container or the size. It just gets stuck.

I also have the "Hit media size" or "go unlimited" problem. It only occurs with some x264 profiles afaik, primarily with the default CQ_Lossless.xml. Deleting this file or changing to another profile via ini editing or using an old version resolves this.

edit: I am using ver 074e. version 074 also has the "Hit media size" or "go unlimited" problem but it doesn't prevent profile change, whereas 074e makes it impossible to change profile away from lossless

Now a few feature requests, small ones that I would ordinarily fix myself were it open source:
Would it be possible to divide the Basic Settings page into a Main Page(where input,output,dvd sense and the start/enqueue buttons are) and leave the rest on Basic Settings? I personally am using this to give my parents the ability to rip their DVDs, so a touch more simplicity would be nice.

Also, could the DVD ripping side be enhanced in these ways:
Save which DVD drive is chosen when program closes
Have an Auto-DVD detect on startup option
Have an option to take the output file name from the DVD's disc title (Even though they are ugly like 'CLOCKWORK_ORANGE_4X3MTD_NA')

If you could make these changes, this program would be perfect for what I will use it for. Thanks for everything you've done so far. I haven't encoded anything yet but am already loving AutoMKV!

[dlflannery]

ok, now i am working an manual... also in next full update all x264 preset got renamed.. (i hope at end of next week)



conservative and good filter, for already clean anime/film (used to gain a little bit of compressibility)



Attention... Attention Ultra LOW Rate is for bitrate very low less then 500kbs is it your case ?

@ALL

ok, i had found the way to run all script minimized, without any (or very few) prompt that steal window... BUT... what is the lose ?

i cannot guarantee that "prepare only phase" will fuction again, also i will use vbs script (as an old suggestion of glynor) and some nasty and bad antivirus (namely Norton) can intercept those files as virus... :p
Again: wcscript SHOULD be present in all win2k and MUST be in winXP but i cannot bet on it...

please tell me your opinion

BHH

I like being able to watch the batch files run in the command windows for debugging purposes. I understand that if the program is more "automatic" you would want to hide this. Is there any way to allow the user to have a choice?

[buzzqw]

update: 0.75 www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV075.rar

this is an interim build to a full new package
please delete the profile directory, this package will contain the new x264 and wmv (and all xvid) profiles and matrix.

changelog
ADDED: Two new Zune Profiles, based on wmv9 encoding (suggestion by dlflannery)
ADDED: Mode 4 for WMV endoing (2 pass peak bitrate)
ADDED: Support for Audio encoding (only audio files, like audio.ac3 to audio.ogg)
ADDED: Mono to WMV audio channels (suggestion by dlflannery)
FIXED: When muxing in AVI, AutoMKV will force MP3 CBR muxing if CBR is selected on Advanced Audio Setting
FIXED: Some tuning in log files
FIXED: Several bugs on Zune Profiles. A big thanks to dlflannery for his tests
FIXED: Ipod 5.5G profile
FIXED: Renamed all X264 profiles
FIXED: some weird behavior of x264 CRF profiles (thanks to Mike Farmwald)
FIXED: Some new layout on gui, as ALWAYS a big thanks to SeeMoreDigital
FIXED: Renamed all x264 profiles

i added a hidden features (don't go crazy searching isn't visible)

if anyone don't report any problem on audio encoding i will be adopt this behavior to all running process

BHH

P.S. the builds i put on forum BUT not in first page are considered alpha/beta release, so don't worry about errors... :)

[Barleyman]

Buzz, I gotta teach you how to hint better like, "Damn, guys, I am just busting my backside for months, everyday, making AutoMKV solid and dependable for you ... can't a few of you help work on a freaking manual ???" :)

Actually, I wish I understood the Wiki thing as that would be a good place to do something where different folks could add on and expand.

Is a Wikimaster out there ... anybody?

I was actually talking about the very thing a while ago with one linux-head. About setting up wiki to make a manual for AutoMKV.. Predictably it's "so easy" it requires "no effort". Assuming you know how to set up fully functioning linux server box that's not going to be hacked right away.. Linux distros apparently come with wiki "built in" .. That also requires you have access to a box that's online 24/7 :rolleyes:

No doubt you could find someone to host the wiki but I have no idea where to ask for such. I don't think linux guys will check page 53 of WINDOWS mpeg4-gui thread anytime soon!

It would be possible to just write the darn thing as a forum thread of course, like someone did with the Zune-encoding. The problem with that is that the thread starter has to do all the edits even if other guys put in new text / comments..

I could possibly write xvid avi/mkv anamorphic CQ encoding guide myself assuming things have not changed too much.. And it looked like there was some new stuff such as automatrix etc..

..

And a suggestion Buzzqw - How about you include "changelog.txt" with the interim builds too? Now it only comes with full builds?

[Barleyman]

Hmh. After grand total of 20 seconds with google, I found this: http://wikihost.org/

Apparently they take the back end out of your hand for free gratis..

[buzzqw]

@Barleyman

never owned a wiki or used ... just read it

but thanks.. i will look tomorrow :)

i hope in few days to finish the "simple manual" aka a big pictures of all fuctions

i will be glady to help someone to write the wiki... i could do myself... yes.. i will do mysel (but everyone should add something...) but with my spare time :( that i usually give to code AutomMKV...

I think that wiki could be a long (in time) but absolute necessary project.

I will register on these site and invite everyone to contribute :)

BHH

[Barleyman]

So 1st try since .66 - Anamorphic XVID/AVI with CQ, Q=3, lame VBR6, resize none, filter none. I left the "custom matrix" to "auto" since I didn't know what else to do about it..

It looks like "auto" will always pick "Sharktooth's EQM v3LR.cqm"-matrix?

[buzzqw]

ok... you are doing a CQ encoding... well.. since is a CQ you are not use the Autoresize... and since not using autoresize the automatrix will trigger the base matrix...

automatrix will switch matrix based on autoresize, on cq encoding is impossible to set correctly...

i hope to be understud :)

BHH

[dlflannery]

I tested with four .avi (mjpeg + mono-pcm) using Zune quick one pass profile.

Everything looks good! :thanks:

However a problem occurred when I queued three of the files. Start Queue encoded all three files OK but when it was done the queue list still showed the middle file (1.ini) on the queue list. So I clicked the Start Queue button again just to see what would happen. It did not appear to do anything but it added the following to AutoMKV Log tab:

19:11:55 0.75 - - - - - - - - - - - - - START JOBS - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

After this the queue list still contained the same item and the Start Queue button was still enabled.

I keep getting this error when I try to encode something in Xvid.

"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application."

Heres the pic of the error - http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j190/b3rwyn/ddddddfasdfsaf.jpg

I have the Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 installed. And the latest version of AVISynth but it's not working.

This also happens with MeGUI's xvid_encraw.exe.

Does anyone know how to fix it.

[buzzqw]

try updating the xvid_encraw build http://members.optusnet.com.au/squid_80/xvid_encraw.zip

also, what are your pc specs ? (cpu,ram, S.O.)
i suppose is AMD ~ 1800XP (or this family) ?

BHH

[Barleyman]

ok... you are doing a CQ encoding... well.. since is a CQ you are not use the Autoresize... and since not using autoresize the automatrix will trigger the base matrix...

automatrix will switch matrix based on autoresize, on cq encoding is impossible to set correctly...

Well all right. Matrixes, filters and profiles would probably be a good starting point for the documentation project. I have pretty vague ideas of what the matrixes do at all. Filters I'm more familiar with.

At least for the filters there was SOME documentation in earlier versions (dropped now?), for matrixes there is none AFAIK..

[Barleyman]

Speaking of filters in fact.. What would be good combination for dealing with those series that have noise added for extra "documentary"-feeling? You know, SHIELD, band of brothers, Oz ..

They tend to make something like 33-50% bigger file as I suspect the xvid encoding struggles with the "artistic" noise.

[buzzqw]

the key is GRAIN, try with degrainmedian
after the first encoding with default value start tuning the value.

another approach could be tryed with the deen or fluxsmooth

BHH

P.S. and at half of manual.. i hope if few day to complete (again isn't a full tutorial just an introduction)

[Huerta]

I updated it and still get the error.

My computer specs.

Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop (Got it with my Ford Focus)
MS Windows XP SP2
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz

Intel 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller
70.9 GB Hardrive with 18 gigs of Free Space

If you need to know more just tell me.

[Barleyman]

Okay, I found a problem :sly:

South park again. Looks like .75 can recognize OK now it's interlaced. However I do get visible flickering deinterlace artifacts here and there.

Plus for some reason the encoding is slooooooooow.. 96 min to encode 22min cartoon on Athlon X64@2500MHz? I get whopping 6.5fps from xvid. Usually on this rig it's around 25..

Here's the logfile (http://personal.inet.fi/koti/ohramies/2007/Törkytorstai So .0.mpg.log)

If you want a cut of the mpg-file, how big it should be?

EDIT: @Barleyman
look here
22:22:27 Processing completed. Type is determined to be interlaced.

22:22:27 TFF: 153
22:22:27 Order: var

the main problem is the 22:22:27 Order: var
in this case since the order isn't sure (var=variable) automkv will switch to an high quality deint procedure. And so is slow.

try forcing Interlaced TFF

[daftperception]

Hi I've been lurking around this post trying to make automkv into my default zune converter but I have two problems trust me I have searched. When I convert any surround sound movie it seems like it’s just picking any two channels and throwing them in there instead of turning them into stereo. Another problem is when I start encoding sometimes it fails to get the duration also the queue process is tedious and doesn't work for me atleast. Thanks for this tool your doing a great job.

edit:thanks

[buzzqw]

when encoding to zune and audio is multichannel choose STEREO downmixing, not original. In this way the audio will be properly downmixed

Another problem is when I start encoding sometimes it fails to get the duration

this is due to wmencoder... not to automkv, please install ffdshow (one way to determine video lenght is also looking at audio lenght :) )

queue process is tedious and doesn't work for me atleast
tedius ? i must admit the queue fuctions isn't my preferred code.. but.. tedius ?

BHH

[Huerta]

So can anyone help me with my problem.

[buzzqw]

@Huerta

download this http://tirnanog.fate.jp/mirror/XviD/xvid_encraw.7z

uncompress into \exe\encoder

the retry encoding utilizing only CQ encoding or SAP or Slow profiles.

for full compatibility with celtic_druid build open the xvid xml profiles and find <altpass2> and change to <altpass2>false</altpass2>

BUT not use CQ encoding AND HIT MEDIA SIZE (is ok to select CQ and Unlimited size)

sorry... i will ping squid_80...

BHH

[glynor]

This may be an incredibly stupid question, but in the Audio Track selection panes, there are three choices under the "Number of Channels combo box" that I'm not 100% clear on...

- Original
- DLP
- DLP II

I'm assuming that original copies over the original number of and encoding of the channels. However, if I have "Copy Original" selected as my chosen "codec", is it still necessary to choose "original" for the number of channels? If not, it would perhaps be better to grey out the combo box when Copy Original is selected (and if so, make it automatic when you choose Copy Original as the codec), and the same goes for the Quality slider (which is obviously ignored). Likewise, what happens if you choose "Original" as the "channel selection" and you have the codec set to LAME or NeroAAC?

DLP and DLP II. Is this Dolby Pro Logic 1/2? I assume it is, but since it's DLP not DPL, I'm a bit ambiguous. This could be a language translation thing (I know English cares a lot more about word position than many other languages), but in acronyms it's pretty important. Assuming it is, I also have a question about how it works... I assume if I select a 6-channel AC3 track as my input source and chose DLP II and NeroAAC as the codec then it will encode the "surround sound" data using the Pro Logic method. What are the limitations of this though? Does it work with all the codecs you can choose (LAME/WMV/OGG/etc)?

Is there any good place where I can go to look up additional info on this stuff?

[buzzqw]

if you select Copy Original there is no need to select any downmixing routines, since will be completely ignored.

DLP and DLP II
yes, is Dolby Pro Logic I and II , and yes, is a TYPO

all audio within automkv could accept dpl 1/2 since is the DECODER to expand/reconstruct the channels

i can suggest a search on hydrogenaudio or here in the audio forum.

BHH

P.S. as you know my language isn't english, even more i have learnd english most on IT books and by studing/playing RolePlayingGames... so more then mistake are to happen :)

[gekan]

the link to the manual on the first page is wrong. The link at the 1060th message is the correct one. :)

Thanks for the manual!

[Barleyman]

i have no idea how to handle a wiki, i need some serius adimistrator :help: :help: :scared:


Don't Panic!

No, I have no idea how to use wiki either but I'm usually pretty good with things you can do while having a beer..

It took me a minute to figure out where their help-page (well, wiki) is, http://wiki.wikihost.org/

Got to say at least the editor is pretty hostile. Can't upload images, make links..

[Barleyman]

I looked around a bit, looks like wikihost is not a very good choice compared with some others.. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Wiki_Science:How_to_start_a_Wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_wiki_farms

There are some free ones with decent editor etc. Wikihost was just 1st one in google! Definitely their software is a mess compared to something like that: http://www.wetpaint.com/

(I think that one may be "bit" over the top for modest manual project. Good for making tv-series homepage, thought :rolleyes:)

[Barleyman]

I think it may be best to use the most common one, that is mediawiki. Wikipedia uses it and there's plenty of documentation for it: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents/Editing_Wikipedia

One place that offers free hosting is http://www.wiki-site.com/

I'm bit sceptical about this "free hosting" as such, so at least with mediawiki your doc backup will work on other sites..

thanks again Barleyman

[glynor]

There's a couple of things I've noticed with a recent DVD recode (episodes of Lost) I've been working on...

1. AutoMKV doesn't let me select my Daemon Tools provided virtual drive as the source drive. It just isn't in the drop down list at all, as if it thinks it's a hard drive.

2. My souce IFOs have a single 6 channel AC3 audio track. I'd like to include this track (as "original") in the MKV files I'm creating, and include a second track of the same audio track compressed to stereo AAC (for computers not set up for 5.1 channel sound or not set up to decode AC3). This doesn't work though. The second audio encode fails (giving the -1 size and the error message).

3. I'm having trouble with the video encoding as well, but I haven't had time to fully investigate this. I have had a number of my test encodes fail on my rip (ripped using DVD Decrypter in IFO mode to rip each episode individually) with the -1 final size. I'm using x264 and MKV, Highprofile, and no matrix. The encode works when using x264, Highprofile, and MP4 with simple audio, but I've been having it fail with the AC3 audio. Like I said, I haven't fully investigated this (since the encode process takes so long).

When I get home from work this evening (I'm in the US) I'll post some logs and look at #3 a bit more...

[glynor]

if you select Copy Original there is no
yes, is Dolby Pro Logic I and II , and yes, is a TYPO

P.S. as you know my language isn't english, even more i have learnd english most on IT books and by studing/playing RolePlayingGames... so more then mistake are to happen :)

I understand completely. I suspected that it was just a typo, but since I am by-no-means an audio engineer I figured it could also be some other newfangled thing I wasn't aware of!

And, frankly, your English is quite good, considering! Way better than my Italian!


i can suggest a search on hydrogenaudio or here in the audio forum.

Shoulda known better than to ask! I'll just have to get off my lazy ass and look that stuff up someday... :p

[Shark_jlc]

I've gone a little nuts on the wiki page. Hopefully it helps get people started cleaning it up a bit.

Edit: Ok, I'm done editing for the day. Have fun with it!

[whiskey]

Just wondering... whats the max file size support ? Since I tried today re-encode AVI 3.90 GB to MKV 1 DVDR and soon after I hit the start button message pops out BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED..., also box with media settings "Size vs. Unlimited" likes to pop again randomly while changing other settings in program.

[buzzqw]

1. AutoMKV doesn't let me select my Daemon Tools provided virtual drive as the source drive. It just isn't in the drop down list at all, as if it thinks it's a hard drive.

what drive letter is ?
do you mean the check dvd drive button ?

about 2': got it... i must look.. but wouldn't be easy

about 3': a log of failed encoding would be useful


@Shark_jlc
:thanks: !!! you have done an excellent work !!!

one more help (when you have time) on left panel "Navigation" is possible to add "Filter" and "Profiles" i (and i hope more and more people) would like to add some tips and hints how to use and understand

a big thanks again !
P.S. if you need some administrator password for the wiki, tell me !

@whiskey
whats the max file size support
virtually unlimited, depends on avisynth processes like avisource or directshowsource

BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED.
this mean that neither avisource or directshowsource are able to handle the file.

Are you able to play this file in media player classic ? or can you open thise file in virtualdub ?

also box with media settings "Size vs. Unlimited" likes to pop again randomly
isn't randomly, it change only when switching form crf/cq profile to non quality profiles

[Surlyrich]

I have started using automkv to convert my HDTV rips, and I must say this is a great little program. I am converting to x264 using videoredo to edit out commercials first. One problem I have run into however, is that most of my HDTV caps are in 50fps. I have not been able to find any option in automkv to change this to say 25fps. I am guessing this can be added in the command line window somehow, just not sure how to do it... Any feedback would be appreciated.

[Shark_jlc]

Buzzqw, your welcome for the edits :) Thank you for Automkv, its the first tool I've used to successfully create a good wmv file.

In regards to the wiki, I shouldn't need admin rights to do anything, so we are good there.

To clarify a request, the Navigation menu on the left is a very generic thing for wiki's. I generally do NOT see links to pages there. Instead there is a main page, that you get to, and the pages branch out from there.

As a matter of fact I'm not sure if you should really have the "help" link in the navigation go to the AutoMKV page.

I have created a blank filters page and a blank profiles page, and added links from the general help page to these pages.

I'll dig around a little more and see what else I can do.

Edit: I've made a redirect so going to profile or profiles goes to the same page, same goes for filter and filters.

[gonwk]

Hi Buzzqw,

I was all excited when I found "AutoMKV 0.74" to be used instead of AutoGK ... since YOUR program contains all software needed within it's OWN folder and it does not poll different folders AND can be installed without being in "Administrator" mode.

Here is my problem ... I was doing a Short MPEG1 clip (test clip) conversion from mpeg1 to AVI ... and I tried AutoMKV 0.74C, D, and E ... and they all flunked with the following messages ...

1) Audio Not Encoded Correctly. I said ignore ... then
2) AviMUX_GUI crashes and I see Microsoft Report Crash message.

Also, What is the DEAL with AutoMKV 0.74E when I launch it I get a Pop-up window saying "CRF" and "Hit Media Size" or "Unlimited" ... what is th edeal with this ... then blocks me from changing Container form MKV to AVI?

Could you shed any light on this?

Also, is there a "Printer-Friendly" or "PDF" Help File or Guide?

THANKS!
G!

Is your source audio monaural? I got that message when a source had mono audio, when doing a Zune WMV encoding. Buzzqw quickly added a mono selection to the WMV audio track setup and that fixed it. Have you tried pulling down the audio selection menu item that probably now says "Stereo"?

If you don't have mediaInfo (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=MediaInfo), I recommend it. It will quickly tell you the info on your videos. It integrates with Explorer so you can right click to run it on the selected file.

[buzzqw]

@Surlyrich

on deinterlacer box WRITE changefps(25.00) (overwriting AUTO)

@Shark_jlc

thanks again !

i added link for audio troubleshooting...

@gonwk

the hints of dlflannery are correct (even if you are encoding to avi). AutoMKV don't know of many audiochannels has source files.
Try selecting on Downmixing "Mono"

@dlflannery

very good hint ! (feel free to add to wiki... :D)

BHH

P.S. noboby have reported problem with audio encoding that NOT MORE POP-UP since i use vbs... i will include even deinterlacer and movielenght to no pop-up series... in next update

[vgiozo]

First of all, I would like to congratulate buzzqw for his excellent work and the very good program his has offered the community...

I am very glad to have come across this...

I just started using the program and as a total newbie, I am particularly drawn by ease of use, feature integration and performance...

AutoMkv does very well, but there are some things that could make it great.
So, following my compliments I would like to mention some extra features that could be integrated in the program and make it - to my mind - the best one around...

1) it would be great if one could set the desired video bitrate and immediately see a size calculation...if it could, depended on bitrate / file size, yield a recommended resolution or the resolution calculated to be used, it would be even better.

2) A preview of the (auto)cropped movie and the ability to make on the fly adjustments. This could rarely be an issue, but the autocrop selection might not be always perfect (my experience is not AutoMkv based)

These are the features i would consider great to see in the future...

Also, I'm not sure if I've come across a couple of bugs or I did something wrong...

a) When I select "don't care about size", the x264 encoding profile defaults to CQ_ASP_Q2_eq(crf).xml and I cannot change it.
(the default profile in AutoMkv 0.75 is Encoding-Mainprofile...same thing happens)

b) I am more used selecting bitrate of audio encoding rather than quality and when I click the "three exclamation mark" button and select a -BR, or -CBR encoding mode for Nero Digital in advanced settings, it does not change, it reverts immediately back to "quality" mode, or it never changes at all.
In fact any change made there is immediately reverted, like eg normalize audio.
(same goes with the newer 0.75 version posted above)

Hope i have not bored you...a million thanks once more for your work,
Cheers.

[buzzqw]

about point A fixed in next update, thanks for the bug !

it reverts immediately back to "quality" mode, or it never changes at all
isn't a bug.. is a visual misinterpretaion ...
every time you open the advenced audio setting the values inside were reset.
but automkv will remember the setting.

anyway in next update the bitrate (after selecting -cbr/-cb) will be display correctly

about point 1 and 2... automkv don't know visual aspect or duration of movie before launching the encoding... so will be difficult to know lenght or crop..however i got the point and added in todo list :)

thanks !

BHH

[glynor]

Sorry I didn't reply earlier -- It's been a week I'd rather forget.

I still haven't gotten the logs of the failed encodes (sorry), but regarding AutoMKV not having my Daemon Tools virtual drive available:

It's Drive V. It doesn't show up in the combobox list of drive letters at all next to the Check DVD drive button, so I can't choose it.

Just so you know, I assigned the virtual drive to V: by selecting it in the "Disk Management" MMC and changing the drive letter. I don't think this should make any difference, but I thought I'd mention it...

[buzzqw]

@glynor

fixed !

till 0.75 i will not enumerate all drive but only till j:
in next release i will enumerate all existing drivers (from a: to z: if presents)

about point 1 and 2... automkv don't know visual aspect or duration of movie before launching the encoding... so will be difficult to know lenght or crop..however i got the point and added in todo list :)

thanks !

I initially got the idea from Nero Recode...when one loads a ripped dvd, the program runs a short analysis and then presents, tunes resolution based on bitrate, etc...
Is there a way for AutoMkv to do some sort of analysis like that? (maybe it could be optional)

..maybe I'm asking for too much...this feature wasn't even in AutoGK which I was previously using...
Also I would not want the orientation of the program to change...this is mostly an automated (but not feature and performance decreased) program...

...but sometimes even for those who value their time and don't want to overlook a program while running as well as for those who are newbies (like me) and are not in fact willing to know much about video encoding, the above mentioned feature could be useful...

When loading the IFO file, isn't the duration of the movie shown somewhere ? (it must be in the subtitles if I'm not mistaken, eg PGC 01:45:38)
Could the program read the duration from there?

I'm so NOT in the know about such things, so all of the above are based on mere empirical observations...


Anyway, thanks once again, congratulations for the effort...

[buzzqw]

Is there a way for AutoMkv to do some sort of analysis like that? (maybe it could be optional)

this kind of analysis are performed when automkv starts.
I will index the movie, computing the lenght,width, framerate... then it will start a compression test to determine better width/height

When loading the IFO file, isn't the duration of the movie shown somewhere ? (it must be in the subtitles if I'm not mistaken, eg PGC 01:45:38)

yes, it is the movie lenght

Could the program read the duration from there?
yes again, but dvd as input is one of the many type of input file that AutoMKV can process
maybe in a next future i will include mediainfo... and then i will know the lenght of movie..

Anyway automkv prefer to have a size to hit then to specify the bitrate, however you can specify the bitrate or the quality to use

If I use "ProjectX for TS files" and uncheck DelayCut it does work (for 1 audio track only) but then the audio is way out of sync. So I kinda do need some way to fix the audio delay.
I'm making such a big file, if I just use the original audio ac3 file without any re-encoding I guess that might work right?

Hi folks,

@ Buzzqw, THANK YOU for your Reply and LOVE Your Program.

@ dlflannery, THANK YOU Very Much for your pointer ...
You are right ... my clip was a MPEG1, Chinese Karate movie clip ... I wanted to combine couple of my VCD's into 1 dvd ... so I had stripped the .DAT movie file ... and just copied it to a DVD and played it on my Philips DVD Player and I noticed that I could not select Mono Audio for the playback ... since the Darn "Stereo" audio of the VCD sounds Horribly Garbly ... like there are 2 different channels playing over each other ... so I Demuxed Audio and Video using DGIndex and fixed Audio from what it was to "Mono" and combined back ...
Anyway, sorry about Bore'ing you with my Story!
BTW, do you know of a STABLE, ACCURATE, and Freeware for Muxing up Video & Audio.

Thanks,
G!

[buzzqw]

sorry... but why use "ProjectX for TS files" if your input is an ifo (dvd)?

projectx (must) be used only for ts or dvr/pvr files not for normal vobs

so DON'T CHECK USE PROJECTX AND CHECK USE DELAY CUT

you shouldn't have problem :)

but if any , please report back

BHH

[buzzqw]

BTW, do you know of a STABLE, ACCURATE, and Freeware for Muxing up Video & Audio.

with automkv isn't needed !

if you feed automkv with the d2v file , automkv will ask for an audio file, so select your file. Then in downmix routines select Mono ! :)

[Shark_jlc]

...

BHH

Can you add this kind of logic into AutoMKV, so these kind of wrong choices cannot be made?

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

ADDED ! for this specific case, only if input is TS (or family) files the Use ProjectX and Custom X.ini will be abled.

Thanks for suggestion !

feel free to report any "misleading" fuction !

[gonwk]

Hi Buzzqw,

God Bless You Dude!

It does help if I know how to use the full power of your Tool.
I did not even realize that I could feed it .d2v.

BTW, you know I like Guides in any format but Wiki's to me are pain since you have to roll from page to page ... how about a "Printer-Friendly" format ... you know just single running page or .pdf or ...!?!?!?

THANKS AGAIN.

G!:)

[buzzqw]

open the wiki page, click left on HELP
after loading, click on left Printable Version ! (i hope will be enough.. or if you want i can build the pdf version)

about d2v : http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Help:Contents#Step_1_-_Set_Input_File

in next full package i will include a pdf version :)

In regards to the drop down which shows current status on the Main tab.

I believe it is showing everything that happens in the log, correct?

So, why not just make it a Status Bar, instead of a drop down? That seems like a more appropriate control type to use for that feature.

[buzzqw]

the true log stay in AutoMKV log tab

the drop-down box is to log main events and i use it to give some hits/tips/help

i will glady add more help in this box (is simply triggered by clicking on varius buttons of automkv)

BHH

[BleedingGums]

just a quick update on stability. AutoMKV .74e is on its 43rd item on its queue, has been running non-stop since the 12th and has not missed a beat yet.

I wasn't suggesting that the content of the drop down was bad.

I was suggesting a different control to display the content.

It's really up to you though :)

[buzzqw]

@BleedingGums
OMG! i haven't tested more the 4 file...

just for info: all input file are in the same directory or on more ?
one more: what happened between 11 and 12 queued files ?

i cannot belive ...

thanks BleedingGums! :goodpost:

@Shark_jlc

:) no prob !

BHH

[BleedingGums]

all the input file are in the same directory but different subfolders. All output files are then put in the same folder in an other different location.

i had queued 51 files. then i shut down and rebooted to minimize chances of crashing. unfortunetly when you reload autoMKV the queue files get resorted in 1/10/11/12...19/2/20/21...29/3/30/31... order, not a big deal but causes real chaos when trying to look over the log files. and i cant scroll the log window up cause there is too much stuff there. but as far as i can tell nothing happend out of the ordinary. All files come out superb, exept for a few where the deinterlacer gives up, but they are dvd mastering related and dont happen at 11 or 12 files intervals.
next time I queue more than 12 files ill keep an eye out.
what would happen between 11 and 12 files?

[buzzqw]

what would happen between 11 and 12 files?

nothing... but you previusly written that
has been running non-stop since the 12th
so i suppose that something has happen at 11-12 queue ... :p

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

nothing... but you previusly written that

so i suppose that something has happen at 11-12 queue ... :p

BHH

I think he meant his queue has been running since February 12th?

[BleedingGums]

yea, AutoMKV has been running since febuary 12th :)

[TheRyuu]

Ok, this is what I mean by the problem I'm having.

This seems to happen when I re-encode the audio files regardless of how many there are but the best example I can think of is with dual audio.

I then get an audio wasn't encoded properly message and I then I hit "quit" then copied the log and came here.

Now, if I ONLY choose ONE audio stream, I think if I use "ProjectX" it works. Now I'm not sure if thats because I unchecked "DelayCut" in the process or what (thats probably it right? Since ProjectX probably isn't being used)

But I've tried that and that only fixes the problem with 1 audio stream I think not to mention it's out of sync now.

*Runs and tries it without delay cut* ;)
...
First audio stream encoding correctly... (this is without delay cut)
And I still get an audio wasn't encoded properly with the second audio track. I don't get why this is happening. From what I can tell it's demuxing it correctly (I get 2 ac3 files in the temp folder and they both have the correct languages.

This is using AutoMKV version 0.75 (came with that pack that renamed the profiles a page or two back).

Could it be that it's a dts file? Because when I selected that audio file from the different audio tracks in AutoMKV, it said Japanese AC3...etc... (Japanese (AC3 2ch, 0xBD 0x81))
Didn't say anything about a dts file.

And delay cut shouldn't have been running. I thought that I unchecked that.

Also, one of the filter names and were it's placed is kind of confusing. The Convolution3d(preset=Anime"BQ") or whatever it was is confusing. At first I thought it was "Best Quality" but I was wrong. It really means "Bad Quality" for a bad quality source.
I found it confusing because it was above the HQ (high quality) one so I just thought it meant "best quality".

Anyway, not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not.
Great program none the less.

[buzzqw]

first of all: check use delay cut and UNCHECK ProjectX

audio tracks are AC3 or DTS (play in mediaplayer classic, and do propriertis of files)?

also please post mkvmaudio.bat and mkvmaudio.avs from temp directory

also launch the mkvmaudio.vbs / mkvmaudio.bat from dos box, what is the error ? (or the mkvmaudio2.vbs /mkvmaudio2.bat)

thanks ! (and sorry but i have some difficulty to understud these errors)

Hi BHH,

I was encoding a ten minute .flv (FLV1) video today to the Zune 1 pass Quick profile, trying to find the combination of settings that worked reliably. What seems to work is to load the .flv file (not as .avs) and check Use Direct Show. The file has mono (.mp3) audio so I'm using the Mono audio setting.

I've tried both auto- and manual-crop. So far manual crop has worked everytime while with auto-crop it seems like the identical encoding will fail one time then succeed the next time. As usual the failures occur in the WME encoder, resulting in very short output files (no crashes so far).

I noticed a particular problem that seems like it has to be a bug. I was encoding with 128 kbps audio every test but one encoded file came out with 96 kbps audio. I thought maybe I accidentally set it to 96 but as you can see from the following log file section, the program was told to use 128 but in the WME script command line it was 96_44_2.

It looks like the audio bitrate was changed after I started the encoding, I think. (See two places marked in red.)
Thanks

[buzzqw]

i think i have understud ! (or i hope...)

the problem arise when encoding is started but you click on container or profile list's, on click (even if not changed) the bitrate goes to 96

the "bug" is that automkv will accept change in its settings while woriking...

first of all: check use delay cut and UNCHECK ProjectX

audio tracks are AC3 or DTS (play in mediaplayer classic, and do propriertis of files)?

also please post mkvmaudio.bat and mkvmaudio.avs from temp directory

also launch the mkvmaudio.vbs / mkvmaudio.bat from dos box, what is the error ? (or the mkvmaudio2.vbs /mkvmaudio2.bat)

thanks ! (and sorry but i have some difficulty to understud these errors)

BHH

I believe the top log is with delay cut and the bottom log is without it (I think, but I'll run the encodes again tomorrow for the logs and the files you wanted since the problem happens every time.

And I know that the audio files are dts or ac3. What I don't get is that the Japanese track IS AC3 but in AutoMKV log it's saying it's a dts (as well as in the temp directory).

When I get back to my regular computer tomorrow I'll run the encodes again with what you asked and then post the files too.

Until then....I don't know :P
And sorry about explaining the errors, I'll try to go step by step of what I did next time I post the logs.

Excellent program you've got here buzqw, I'm thrilled to find it and have enjoyed reading this thread and following the development.

I have been doing some experimenting and think I have encountered a potential bug with batch processing. I am attempting to use the queue to batch process ripped verisions of my dvd collection using xvid with "specify quality" setting of between 80-90 with the CQ profile. This seems to work properly for one-offs and the bitrates scale up as you would expect with increased quality. The problem I have found is when batch processing, this "specify quality" setting has no affect and the encoding uses the defaut settings. This has been confirmed by queing up a series of encodes with the same source clip using different quality settings and all the files come out the same size. When running them individually without the queue, everything seems to work fine.

Also, I seem to get the error about improper audio whenever I try and encode two seperate audio tracks that use the same source audio channel. For example, I use an original AC3 5.1 source to encode a "Lame Stereo" version for track 1 and the same AC3 5.1 source using "copy original" for track 2. This will consistantly produce the error althrough each track will encode individually just fine.

Hope this helps and again, amazing program you've got here.

@wizboy11

i need the error arised from launching the batch files (and alos the batch files).

no need to fell sorry, it's the log that is missing of useful information !

@bhh (feel strange... sign as my)

about quality: i will look ! thanks

about same audio: already fixed in next update !

BHH

[buzzqw]

@bhh

about quality: first of all fixed in next update
but as i wrote in changelog (09/02/2006 0.74 update) the quality was not working in queue.
Now is working :)

Something keeps happening to me. I tried encoding a file to xvid and it starts out fine by ripping the subs and transcoding the audio properly but it doesn't encode the video. Also I try to choose Mkv with Xvid_Slow and the Don't care about Media Size options but each time I choose Don't care about media size it changes it to Xvid_CQ. and I keep getting a Hit Media Size or Go Unlimited box each time I try to change it back.

[buzzqw]

@Huerta

and I keep getting a Hit Media Size or Go Unlimited box each time I try to change it back

thanks ! fixed in next update

to fix now do this: do not set "don't care about size" but select XviD_CQ profile and answer "go unlimited"

also about movie not encoded is due to incompatibility between dgindex/dgdecode and TIVTC.
Two solution:
OR download dgindex 1.4.9 beta 12 (http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec149b12.zip) and unzip into \exe\filter and \exe\dgindex folders
OR download the latest TIVTC http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/TIVTCv101.zip and unzip into \exe\filter folder

anyway in next full package is fixed

Hi Buzzqw,

A suggestion ... could you date your "Updates" so we can tell it is update from when!?!?

Also, I downloaded your latest update and plugged it in the "AutoMKV" folder ... and 0.74e still pops up the window saying "Go Unlimited" ... is this Normal?

Q: Am I installing your updates correctly ... just taking it and dropping it in the Original folder?

Thanks,
G!

[dlflannery]

I have several clips that are 640x480 AVI (mjpeg + mono mp3). I wanted to splice them together into one clip and make a Zune-compatible WMV. So I decided to try AVS source using (for example) the following AVS script:

function makeMovie(string fileName) {
audio=DirectShowSource(fileName, video = false)
audio = MergeChannels(audio,audio).resampleAudio(44100)
video=AVISource(fileName, audio = false)
return audiodub(audio, video)
}

makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi") ++
\ makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi")
This script plays OK in WMP11. Note that it has already converted the mono to stereo at 44kbps sample rate.

I input this AVS into AutoMKV and used the Zune 1 pass quick profile. However the encode fails --WME evaluates the length as 10 seconds (should be 61 sec) and quits early creating a very small file.

The movie.avs file in temp dir is:
Import("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\Nick2+3.avs")
audio=EnsureVBRMP3Sync(audio)
audio=ConvertAudioToFloat(audio)
audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)
audiodub(audio,last)
If I try to play movie.avs in WMP11 I get the error message: I don't know what "audio" means

Looking at my avs and movie.avs the problem is obvious. I need the following AVS command either at the end of my AVS script or at the beginning of movie.avs:
audio=getChannel(1,2)

After adding that command and running movie_wmv.bat I get a good encoding except the .wmv video size is still 640x480. This occurs whether I use the simpleResize with width=320 or the manual crop with size set to 320x240.

I found if I add these WME options in movie_wmv.bat:
-v_width 320 -v_height 240
the encoding runs good and produces the desired 320x240 output file, i.e. the encoder does the resizing. BTW, I found adding only the v_width option was not enough -- still produced 640x480.

It appears that AutoMKV does not apply the manual or auto resize functions to AVS source videos. (???) It looks like all it does in this case is convert the audio to float and send it to the WME encoder. Another question is why it converts the audio to float? I tried removing that command and the encoding was good.

Perhaps I don't understand what AutoMKV should do with an AVS input (??).

One idea for the Zune cases would be to have it add the -v_width and -v_height options, set to 320x240. I'm not sure what complications might happen for 16x9 formats however. The Zune spec (http://www.zune.net/en-us/support/howto/start/providecontent.htm#section5) says 320x180 (16:9 QVGA) but IIRC I have played files that were 320x192 in it, so I suspect the width must always be 320 but the height can range from 180 to 240.

Thanks!

Edit::stupid:
I had a feeling as I was writing the above that I should go check the manual before posting and ... sure enough there was the answer to my questions (most of them anyway) in the "Input to AutoMKV" section:

AVS file. Useful for encoding already prepared script. No filter or resize is applied, only audio will be asked. :o

Hey dl,

I know I am GREEN to all of this ... but are you calling me Stupid ... :D

Just kidding ... I wish I know 1/1000000 of what you guys know on coding then I would be A-OK!

You also wanted a few files.
I put them all in a rar file for ya and attached it (mkvaudio.bat/.avs/.vbs) with the title "mkvaudio.rar" for the first encode.

Hope this helps. I get another "audio wasn't encoded properly error if I uncheck "use delay cut" too. I'll upload that in a little bit.

EDIT:
Ok, here are the results of a failing encode (get a "audio wasn't encoded properly") without delay cut (DelayCut unchecked, thats the only thing that really changed from the top encode).

Now, I'm not sure whats wrong with the first encode, but in this second encode it says "fixed2.dts" when the audio file should be an ac3 file.

And, I'll attach the mkvaudio things in a rar file. For the second encode, it'll be "mkvaudio2.rar" (without delaycut).

Hope it'll tell you something.
If you need anything else I'll be glad to give it. I can recreate the same problem over and over again.

Hey dl,

I know I am GREEN to all of this ... but are you calling me Stupid ... :D

Just kidding ... I wish I know 1/1000000 of what you guys know on coding then I would be A-OK!

Nice seeing you around!
G!
My :stupid: was pointing to my own post -- not yours! I think you understood that but just in case ..... ;)

BTW I don't know whether I am one of the "guys" who know about coding but I can assure you I'm a newbie to video and AVS, but I enjoy learning it and AutoMKV is not only very useful but serves as a learning tool too.

[dlflannery]

A couple of small things about 0.75:

1. The audio bitrate again switched from 128 to 96 during a Zune encoding as noted in this prior post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=959670#post959670). I looked at the Audio Track setting after the encode was done and it was still saying 128. I did not touch anything on the GUI after hitting the Start Encoding button. This only happens sometimes in a random way.

2. If I load a source file by dragging it into Select Input File, the Movie Name (for output) does not update like it does if I load by browsing.

[Surlyrich]

I am having a couple of problems with some ts files.

This one is not specifically automkv related, but with one of my caps, I used videoredo to edit out commercials and create a new ts file. Videoredo reported some audio errors, so I ran it through mpeg2repair. When demuxing with projectx, the audio track ends up coming out 3 mins shorter than the video, however the original ts file plays fine end to end. Is this a problem with the original file that can not be fixed, or should I be using some other method to edit the file rather than using videoredo and then mpeg2repair?

Another problem I have is with a ts cap that is 4:3 with black borders on the left and right. When choosing autocrop, the encoded file ends up stretched and with black boarders on the top and bottom. Not sure what I did wrong there. What would be the best way to encode these tyoes of caps?

Cheers

[Huerta]

@Huerta



thanks ! fixed in next update

to fix now do this: do not set "don't care about size" but select XviD_CQ profile and answer "go unlimited"

also about movie not encoded is due to incompatibility between dgindex/dgdecode and TIVTC.
Two solution:
OR download dgindex 1.4.9 beta 12 (http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec149b12.zip) and unzip into \exe\filter and \exe\dgindex folders
OR download the latest TIVTC http://bengal.missouri.edu/~kes25c/TIVTCv101.zip and unzip into \exe\filter folder

anyway in next full package is fixed

BHH

I did the first solution and I extracted the zip into both /exe/filter and /exe/dgindex folders. But that didn't work.

Then I tried the second option exactly but it still doesn't encode.

Then I did both at the same time but that didn't work either.

Are there any other solutions or did I miss something.

@Huerta
please retry with this full package ! thanks !!

@Surlyrich
can you demux (audio and video) with videoredo the file ? if so do it
then point automkv to your m2v (or video only file), automkv will ask for audio, select your audio

configure remaining settings and start encode (don't check use projectx)

about stretch: on advanced settings do a manual crop or try "force muxing AR" to 16:9

@dlflannery
there isn't randomness on IT, just ordered chaos and entropy, some settings will trigger the switch...

BHH

[DarkZell666]

The link for the package without DVDFabDecrypter hasn't been copy/pasted properly I believe :)

Man I just tried it but it still the same problem lol. It rips the subs and transcodes the audio just fine but it can't encode to Xvid. Heres the log. I think it happens somewhere in the section I bolded

open the movie.avs in virtualdub or mediaplayer classic and post the error, thanks

BHH

[Huerta]

In Media Player Classic it says this exactly

"" "LoadPlugin:unable to load "C:/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/AutoMKV076/exe/filter/RemoveGrain.dll"
(C:/DBZ/New Folder/temp/movie.avs, line 25)""

[buzzqw]

yes !

you need the big static version of removegrain ! (maybe cpu related)

download this
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/avisynth/RemoveGrain10.rar

remove the removegrain.dll from \exe\filter folder and
extract RemoveGrainS.dll into this folder

restart automkv ! :)

please post the update !

remove it, i said to put only removegrainS.dll (and remove DenoiseSharpen.dll,RemoveGrain.dll,RemoveGrain.cpp,RemoveGrainSSE2.dll,RemoveGrainSSE3.dll,Repair.dll, and all RSharpen*.*)

your cpu isn't SSE2 capable

BHH

[Huerta]

Alright I removed all the ones you mentioned, I also removed the RepairSSE2 and SSE3 if that's okay.

[buzzqw]

should be ok !

if any problem remove all \exe\filter folder and use the installation one's, then remove removegrain.dll from \exe\filter folder and extract RemoveGrainS.dll into this folder

New full Package ! 0.76

stable NEW package WITH DVDFabDecrypter www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV076.rar (8.14mb, all inclusive, NO install)
BHH
Thanks for your good work! :thanks:

@dlflannery
there isn't randomness on IT, just ordered chaos and entropy, some settings will trigger the switch...
BHH
OK! OK! As a good psuedo-random number generator algorithm demonstrates, it can be difficult for a human to distinguish between "ordered chaos" and true random-ness. :D

But if I repeat an identical encoding (i.e., encode, then just change nothing and hit the Start Encoding button again) would you expect this audio bitrate change to still be possible? (And I suppose you are now wondering: why would he do that? Answer: Just to test the "ordered chaos"!)

Question about AVS input:
When you source AVS, it asks for two audio track files. I was able to ignore (cancel) these two inputs and get a good result by defining a valid "audio" clip variable in my source AVS script. Is this an intended way of operation or did I just find a work-around to supplying the separate audio track file(s)?

[Shark_jlc]

I look forward to trying out the new release tonight!

Also, if anyone can add information to the filters wiki page, it would be appreciated. I have NO clue what the filters do :/

it's a GOOD work-around... remember that zune and all wmv encoding use the wmencoder AND avisynth to handle both audio and video

BHH

[TheRyuu]

Yea, in 076 I still get the audio wasn't encoded properly as in this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=960213&postcount=1122).

Kinda figured it would happen again. Any idea whats wrong?

[dlflannery]

@dlflannery

BHH
So if I did not use this work-around, what should the audio files be? Can they be either actual audio files (.e.g., .mp3) and/or other AVS scripts that define the audio?

Thanks

[buzzqw]

@wizboy11
i am waiting for attachement approval

could be that audio is demuxed and wrongly recognized and DTS while being AC3

open the mkvmaudio.avs and change the nicdtssource to nicac3source and start the mkvmaudio.bat
if error: change nicac3source with directshowsource !

@dlflannery

i must check...

BHH

[TheRyuu]

Yea, thats what I was thinking, it was being somehow screwed up and said it was a dts when it was really an ac3 file.

But that still doesn't explain the first encode failing since they're both recognized as ac3 files (thats with DelayCut).

Well if you don't want to wait then here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/18408263/audio.rar.html

It has the mkvaudio and mkvaudio2 just like specified in the post. mkvaudio is for the first one and mkvaudio2 is for the second one.

[buzzqw]

@wizboy11

could you post the movie xxx xxx.log (should be 2 files, one per audio) , is generated by delaycut

thanks

BHH

[TheRyuu]

@wizboy11

could you post the movie xxx xxx.log (should be 2 files, one per audio) , is generated by delaycut

thanks

BHH

Sure.
And another thing I've noticed is that AFAIK it doesn't matter what kind of audio you choose, I tried Vorbis and Lame and both got the same error.

I'm not sure if there's two different problems here. One problem arises if you use DelayCut and another if you don't although I'm not sure.
Both of these are for the encode with DelayCut checked.

Is there really a bug or am I just doing something wrong. ;) :p

surely there is some problem within those audio files

last one try

don't check use delay cut, check force directshowsource

:fingercrossed: :angry:

BHH

[briancl]

I am getting no audio on my encodes regardless of codec. The only way I can get sound in my mkv's is by selecting "Copy original". I am selecting "Use ProjectX for TS files" and deselcting DelayCut, which is required for TS files, but no matter what I try, I get no audio if I compress the audio (Nero, Lame, Ogg, Coding Tech).

I have had this problem with the .75 version, and I just tried with .76 without any difference. I am trying to encode a .ts 1080 rip and I've tried different source files that were ripped with different systems at different encoding (dd20 and dd51).

I noticed that ProjectX pulls out the audio stream and creates the .ac3 file, but after the "Encoding fixed1.ac3 to NeroAAC with 0.35 quality", the ac3 file disappears, and the .mp4 file that is created is only 5kb. Obviously this .mp4 file should be larger if it contains an hour of audio. I am including all of the log files so that you can take a look... Thanks

[buzzqw]

@briancl
launch mkvmaudio.bat and spot the error

most probably in your ts files there are mixed audio channel, like 5.1 for film and 2 for spot, if so audio encoder will crash

try this: on advanced audio check use projectX AND use custom X.ini

then retry the encode

keep me informed !

Tried that and I got a "BREAK- File not supported"

[bhh]

ADDED: Now is possible to queue works while use Specify Quality (suggestion by bhh)
FIXED: It's now possible to encode the same audio track with Copy Original and any other codec (Copy Original in first box, Lame in second... as example) (or Lame and Ogg...) (thanks to glynor)


Both confirmed working properly here. :thanks:

thanks for the suggestions.. I tried them both..

I tried running with the Custom X.ini option selected, but nothing happens. When I hit start encoding, it very quickly flashes the "using projectx to demux" and then immediately jumps to "fixing audio" But there is no audio to fix. It hangs there indefinitely.

1 seconds for demuxing audio ? to short !

maybe related to long path... please try moving all atuomkv folder from desktop to c:\apps\automkv

and, using projectx and use custom x.ini retry the encode.

if no audio is extracted try without checking Use projectx :)

@wizboy11

your audios are definitively broken

please do this
encode the audio with besweet or other audio encoder
open automkv, on input feed the d2v already created by automkv when asked for audio point to your encoded audio and select copy original

one more: with autogk the encoding is ok ?

Me again lol. Well the episodes turned out much better than I expected. The only problem that I had was with the subtitles. I don't if you could help me with that but they are really off by a couple minutes, and some of them don't even show up. I can tell since I compared it with the origianal VOB. I think I know why though, although I don't know if you want me to explain it.

Maybe have it go to a specific part of the AutoMKV wiki (or just wikipedia) that either describes the containers/codecs in general, or that particular container/codec?

The path thing made the "Use Custom X.ini" work, but I'm still getting a 5kb audio1.mp4 file

If I deselect "Use ProjectX" and deselect "Allow use of delaycut", then I get an error (after it pulls out the audio file) "Audio did not encode properly, continue?" And I'm left with a 5kb audio.mp4 file, again...

[dlflannery]

I've run some experiments with AVS sourcing for both WMV and AVI/XVID encodings. When you load an AVS source the program asks for one or two audio files. I had already discovered that when encoding to WMV you can skip (cancel) the audio inputs as long as your input AVS script defines a valid "audio" variable.

The question I wanted to answer for both XVID and WMV encoding was which of three approaches for sourcing the audio track(s) works, when the video source is AVS:

1. Defining the audio variable in the sourced AVS script and not providing any separate audio track files in response to the two prompts.
2. Loading a separate audio file (e.g., .mp3, .wav).
3. Loading a separate audio-sourcing AVS file.

What my experiments suggest is:

1. For XVID encodings, the only way to input the audio is as a separate audio file. The other two approaches resulted in no audio (.mp3) file being produced and thus a muxer crash.

2. For WMV encodings the only way to input the audio is to define a valid audio clip variable named "audio" in the video input AVS file. This is because the movie.avs file simply imports the sourced video AVS and does a few processing commands on the "audio" variable before sourcing into the WMEncoder.

My original motivation for AVS sourcing was so I could splice several clips together in the AVS file. This is possilble for WMV encoding, but for AVI/XVID encoding you would have to generate the demuxed and spliced separate audio file (perhaps with VirtualDubMod as I did for these experiments), or splice the source clips (video and audio) with another program (perhaps VirualDubMod ?) and then source the spliced video in non-AVS form into AutoMKV. To put it another way, what would be the recommended way to splice two or more AVI files together and re-encode to desired parameters?

Also:
During these tests, although I specified a bitrate of 500 kbps, the XVID_encraw program encoded to 1300 kbps. The 500 kbps number was even displayed in the encoding command window. This was with the Xvid_fastest profile. (??)

@briancl

please download this build www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV077.exe

this build add in Advanced Settings "Use DirectShowSource for AUDIO", is my last hope for your audio.

do this: open automkv , set all options as you want in front panel , in advanced setting check use projectX, check use directshowsource for audio, DON'T check use delay cut.

i hope that is will fuction !!!!!!!!

EDIT: @WIZBOY11 please try with this solution!

@dlflannery
i will analyze your post later :)

[fogbav]

This sounds like the Problem i discribed month ago about the Bepipe (or/and) Delaycut thing with AC3 sound. I was not able to convert with automkv this tracks ... everytime it produced 5 KB Tracks.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=113811&page=25

Problem here is when AC3 has 2/0 Sound and then 3/2 Sound (Channels switching to other Mode) bepipe goes down ...8)

I posted my converting batch with besweet (fixing AC3 to 3/2)... this is still the way i go converting Audio Tracks when AC3 is in there.

But 4 everything else automkv is the best thing in the world.

P.S. : I will try the "Use DirectShowSource for AUDIO" too ...8)

[buzzqw]

yes fogbav, and from my test bepipe will fuction using directshowsource and a "scrambled" audio file
(it is ok on test file you had send me to test)

Hi buzzqw,

Could you please help me with another problem I've been having? I've tried every interlacing setting (including changefps settings), resize options, anamorphic/ITU, and all available codecs, but each time I get one of the following problems.
- Very visable interlaced movement (like ghosting) OR
- Minor interlacing, but flashes of colour during movement.

Confused, I let AutoMKV test the file...but I'm not sure this log is of any use.

[fogbav]

[buzzqw]

@dlflannery

ok, in next update i have added the possibility to specify an avs as audio input file.

in this way you can build 2 avs, one for video and one for audio, example:

for Video_input.avs:
directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",audio=false)+directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",audio=false)
for Audio_input.avs
directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",video=false)+directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",video=false)

in such way you can concatenate several movie.
This "option" will be permitteted in all encoding BUT WMV.

The wmv encoding is too complex to automatize, will be better to feed directly an avs fully customized and fuctional.

BHH

[dlflannery]

@buzzqw
Your planned changes for AVS input look great, :thanks:

When splicing non-WMV files, would it be possible to just use a single AVS source file like:
directShowSource("file1.avi") ++ directShowSource("file2.avi")
and thus no separate audio source file in this case?

Also, for the case of AVS input for WMV encodings, if the movie.avs file could first create the "audio" variable, then the user would not have to do that in the input AVS, e.g.,:
audio = getChannel(...,...) as the first line of movie.avs
(The arguments of getChannel would depend on the input audio, i.e., mono, stereo, 5.1). Perhaps this gets too complicated for AutoMKV to handle in a general way, so maybe it's better to leave it as is and instruct the operator that a valid "audio" clip variable must be created in the input script. (?)

I've found that for low sample rate PCM audio (e.g., 11 kHz mono), I have to resample it to 44kHz for directShow sourcing (e.g., to play in WMP11). I assume this could be always in movie.avs since resampling should not hurt even if not needed (?). (Or could logic be used so the resample only occurs if the sample rate is too low?).

Thanks again

[buzzqw]

When splicing non-WMV files, would it be possible to just use a single AVS source file like:directShowSource("file1.avi") ++ directShowSource("file2.avi")

yes, will be ok, just slower

and for wmv the avs must look like this

video=directShowSource("movie.avi") ++ directShowSource("movie_2.avi")
audio=directShowSource("movie.avi") ++ directShowSource("movie_2.avi")
global audio=getchannel(audio1,2)
return audiodub(video,audio)

for resampling

I have to resample it to 44kHz for directShow sourcing (e.g., to play in WMP11). I assume this could be always in movie.avs
while working with avs (and not for wmv) you can simply click advanced audio setting and select the ssrc you want

for wmv is better to but in input.avs

ssrc will not hurt if not used... hi resample could bring to bad audio... but ssrc is a very good resampler ! :)
and yes, for lame and ogg the resample will be adjusted automatically for very low bitrate

BHH

[dlflannery]

Using 0.76, sourcing the following AVS script:

function makeMovie(string fileName) {
AVISource(fileName, audio = false)
}

makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi") ++
\ makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi")
For audio track 1 I input the .mp3 file with the audio that matches the two spliced files.

Encoding to AVI/DIVX. If I allow DelayCut, it goes into an infinite loop, using 100% cpu, while the fixed1.mp3 file just keeps growing. I have to shut it down in Task Manager.

If I do not allow Delay Cut, I get a good encoding BUT the original .mp3 file is GONE! Turns out it exists in the temp folder and is renamed to audio.mp3.

I have done this with stereo and mono versions of the .mp3 file and with "Use Original" and Lame audio choices. The problem with Delay Cut is the same for all cases.

Also, I orignally generated the .mp3 files files (Using AVS into GraphEdit, mp3 compressor and dump) with a low sample rate (11 kHz). In this case AutoMKV would say the audio was improperly encoded and did I want to quit? If I did not quit (and Delay Cut was not allowed) it would go ahead and encode the Xvid and the muxer would fail because there was no audio file loaded. However if I added the loading of the audio file to the muxavi file and then ran muxing.bat, a good encoding would result (??). What causes the "improperly encoded" message?

Thanks

this is a know problem of delaycut. sometime delaycut goes crazy and start growing and growing...

this is ok, since you select original and so automkv will copy the audio tracks

about audio not properly encoded will be more robust in next update

I ripped a movie using DVDFab 3.0.8.5 beta.

In AutoMKV .76 I selected the video_ts.ifo as the input.
In the "Select PGC" dropdown, I chose the main movie file at 00:35:33:29 in length.

WMV is selected for container and codec.

Right now in the windows media cmd window, it tells me the source duration is 3891.621 seconds, or, over twice the size of the file I chose.

If I add up ALL the PGC lengths I see in the drop down, I roughly come up with 64 minutes, or the 3891 seconds.

So.... what did I do wrong here? :)

[gekan]

@Shark_jlc: I think you have to select "Episodic DVD/IFO" from advanced settings tab.

[dlflannery]

BHH
Did you understand I was saying my original .mp3 file was deleted by AutoMKV? A copy of it exists in the temp folder under the name audio.mp3 so it can be saved by copying it back to the original folder location and renaming to the original file name. (Only if the operator realizes the copy exists and if the temp folder was not deleted.)

But I don't see how it could be "ok" for AutoMKV to delete the original source file :confused:

Thanks

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc: I think you have to select "Episodic DVD/IFO" from advanced settings tab.

Hmmm, how can I tell before hand if I need to check that? This kid DVD only contains one main episode (at about 33 minutes long) and one big fat 22 minute ad for the rest of the dvd's in the series.

Well, I don't know if you can. Probably this 22 minute ad is considered to be like a second episode. I don't know if it's an AutoMKV bug or it's a fault in the DVD.

Anyway, did this work for you?

[Shark_jlc]

... Anyway, did this work for you?

I'll have to try later tonight when I'm not at work :)

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc
how many *.ifo there is in the movie ? i suppose only 2

video_ts.ifo and vts_01_1.ifo

if so the vts_01.ifo will contain even the "one big fat 22 minute ad for the rest of the dvd's in the series"

i am near sure you have only one set of vobs like vts_01_1.vob to vts_01_99.vob, again if true the "big fat 22" is withing the vts and so IS within the final wmv

the pgc is used for subtitle ripping NOT for selecting the vts to encode

if you want process a single specific IFO you must check "Episodic DVD/IFO" AND select the specific IFO you want to use, if not done automkv will simple select the BIGGEST ifo present on dvd

EDIT: is not possible to process dvd by pgc, you must rip by pgc to do this (or feed the d2v) (but i will search..)

@dlflannery

got your point... it's true, normally this isn't a problem since i "move/rename" the file extracted from dgindex... not a file of user... i will dig it, thanks

EDIT2: in log file is written "Renamed c:\xxx.mp3 to c:\temp\xxx.mp3" ... so is "near" understable
EDIT3: fixed, now is COPIED not MOVED

hi ALL !

i will be glad to be informormed if the new way to process audio (by directshowsource) is fuctional !

every user that had problems should try this way (and report)

This is a listing of the files produced when I did a full backup via DVDFab Decrypter:

http://picasaweb.google.com/shackmiscpics/Misc/photo#5037510067493291490

If I only wanted the main movie, what is the correct settings for me to choose in AutoMKV?

Edit: To clarify my question a bit, what are the correct settings for me to choose the main movie, and not have the 22 minute commerical added to the end of the movie (I'm not questioning codec/container/audio settings at the moment) based on that file listing.

[buzzqw]

direct link isn't working... no prob i got the image by browsing the misc folder

as i can see (and tell) all the videoes are in vts_01, both the episonde and the ads

i can suggest to rip with dvddrypter (not dvdfabdecrypter) and select what chapter to rip

is impossible for automkv (or autogk/megui/staxrip....) select the "chapter" you want since is within those other ads

or you create the d2v by selecting the boundaries of what you want to encode

or you can use pgc.net (http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pgcnet.html) to rip only what you want :)

OK, that makes sense. After looking at the files, and reading what you have said, I can see that based on the file names VTS_01_x.vob that most of the video is in vts_01 now.

DVDFab Decrypter has an option to rip the Main Movie, I'll see if I can just start using that.

BTW, granted I want wmv files to play via the Xbox360, is there some way for me to test using DirectShowSource for you?

[buzzqw]

sorry Shark_jlc ... .... ... ;)

i have added pgc processing !!!! :cool:

in next full update (next update) will be possibile after specifing what ifo to parse, to select what pgc (and so episodes) within the ifo selected to work with
(i hope my english is clear enough...)
this will fuction even on dvd to rip

the workflow will be (for already ripped dvd)
open automkv, check BOTH Process this IFO and Process this PGC, on input select the IFO containing the episodes, on pgc list select the pgc you want

after start encoding vsrip.exe will be used to "extract" from vob (to vob) only the selected program group chain

about DSS: i think no, sorry pal, this option is to use with difficult or corrupted audio stream, has nothing to do with wmv, thanks !

BHH

P.S. i cannot guarantee that subripping will be ok in such way, and i hope i haven't break anything

[Shark_jlc]

That sounds like it will save me a lot of trouble :)

yay!

I can't wait to test it out.

[Prospero424]

I'm mostly transcoding 1080i MPEG2 .ts files to 1280-width X264 MKV files at DVD-R size.

Which resize filter should I use for best quality?

Tips for other quality settings (filters and such) would be appreciated, as well.

[DarkZell666]

Which resize filter should I use for best quality? :readrule: Or reformulate the question to define what you call "best".

[Prospero424]

Okay, I'll rephrase:

What resize filter would you use in this situation?

[buzzqw]

for quality aiming and good filtering the choice would be lanczos or spline resizers
for filter, most depends on your source, a simply removegrain(mode=2) is usually enough for a near clean source file (or degrainmedian for a more noise source)

BHH

[bhh]

zup guys,

All is well with .076 and I am about 50 DVDs into a several hundred DVD collection. The batch processing is going great and I am generally running about 10 disk per day with few problems.

One suggestion I have that have that would improve the process would be a "supress errors" option. I am still occasionally getting the audio errors problem which is often just a unique situation that needs a little special care to work through it. The problem is that the error message pops up asking if I want to continue so sometimes I loose a whole day of encoding when I had much rather it just flag the log and move on.

This isn't really a bug or complaint even, simply a suggestion that would make the software perform a little better based on my specific utilization. Still though, EXCELLENT PROGRAM and I am loving it. BTW, where did the paypal link go?

BHH

Thanks for the input. Quick question: so would you use a removegrain filter even on a very clean HD source that was created using, say, a digital camera, or only on noisier HD sources that were transferred from, say, 35mm film?

In other words, is the "grain" intended to be removed by this filter a product of the source transfer/compression or from the "grain" of a film source itself?

[buzzqw]

@bhh

thanks for kind words !

about suppressing the warning... i could "time" the question , after 60 seconds if user don't click quit automkv will go ahead, even if muxing will be borked

about donation: the paypal button is hidden when processing dvd (is replaced by pgc selection), fell free to click here (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=azanzani%40gmail%2ecom&item_name=Donate%20to%20AutoMKV%20%21%20Thanks%20for%20your%20Support%20%21%21%21&no_shipping=1&return=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2e64k%2eit%2fandres%2fdata%2fa%2fThanks%2ehtm&no_note=1&tax=0&currency_code=USD&lc=US&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF&charset=UTF%2d8) (or link in wiki)

@Prospero424
is to remove the original grain, what you want (remove grain AFTER) is done by the decoder (post processing)

BHH

BHH

Thanks again for the response, but I think you misunderstood me. I was wondering if I should still use a removegrain filter on, say, a movie filmed using modern, digital methods like Sin City or only on older movies like Blade Runner, which are sometimes transferred from their original film prints to a high-def format by people like HDNET.

Assume both sources in this example are at 1080.

And not to pile on, but I have yet to say it, so thanks SO MUCH for your work on this project. I've turned several friends onto it, as well, and they've been equally impressed.

[buzzqw]

a bit of grain is always neccessary for a "not washed-out look" of movie.

Pourpose of filter is to gain a little bit compressibility and to remove excessive grain or noise/flickering/mosquito/ringing/halo....

the "best" filter could be the "not apply filters" or a heavy weight Spresso, or a sharpener Seesaw

usually a removegrain(mode=2) is light enough to not destroy image but to clean a little noise around

i can suggest to do several test with varius filter on a short sample.

BHH

P.S. thanks for introducing AutoMKV to other user !

Hi folks,

I have this "Dumb" question ...

Q1: What is the AutoMKV with Decrypter used for?

If I am only interested in converting my DVD files (that are already on my hard drive) into AVI format ... then I guess the AutoMKV without Decrypter should work fine ... right!?!?!

G!

[Shark_jlc]

Using DVDFab Decrypter 3.0.8.6, I've ripped only the 16x9 movie from a disc that contains 16x9 and 4x3 versions, and other misc extras.

I pointed AutoMKV to the video_ts.ifo, chose wmv/wmv, 128 Kbps stereo audio, and "Set Width Resolution" to Auto.

This caused 2 issues with the resultant movie:

1) It seems to be in 4x3 format.
2) The farther into the movie you get the more often the audio gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. But then the audio does sync for a bit, then it gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. Very intermittent.

Any ideas?

[buzzqw]

Q1: What is the AutoMKV with Decrypter used for?

very simple answer: automkv can be used even to automatize from rip the dvd to final encoded movie.

Now i am using dvdfabdecrypter because it's command line usable and can deal with some old arcoos protection

hen I guess the AutoMKV without Decrypter should work fine ... right!?!?!

for sure !, simply input to one ifo of your decrypted dvd

@Shark_jlc

1) It seems to be in 4x3 format.
well... how automkv could choose what pgc to work ?
you should rip only the pgc you want (or wait next version with pgc selection...)

2) The farther into the movie you get the more often the audio gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. But then the audio does sync for a bit, then it gets out of sync by 2-3 seconds. Very intermittent.

what is cpu use while decoding ? also try to play with other players (link mpc, vlc, wmp...)
one more: wmv encoding is done by wmencoder ... please try opening movie.avs with mpc/virtualdub and play it... is desyncronized ?

I only ripped the 16x9 version. (is that what you mean by "rip only the pgc I want"?)

The audio de-sync happens when I play the movie on my xbox360, or my windows xp box (athlon XP @ 1.7 ghz)

Where would I find the movie.avs file? In the temp folder I deleted ? :)

Thanks.

[buzzqw]

I only ripped the 16x9 version. (is that what you mean by "rip only the pgc I want"?)

yes, is that what i mean.

if it look "4:3" ... i don't know.. the wmv encoder don't set the aspect ratio... so if it look like 4:3 i can suppose that original file was a 4:3 film cropped and resized to 16:9

you can edit the <pixelratio> value to these
DV NTSC fullscreen 10:11
DV NTSC widescreen 40:33
DV PAL fullscreen 12:11
DV PAL widescreen 16:11
if you know it (but you must reencode)

and gain... yes... the movie.avs was in temp folder...
don't delete it till encoded film isn't played ! :(

BHH

P.S. a will look to AR into wmv...

[Shark_jlc]

I'll re-encode it tonight (for a 3rd time :) and check out the file in the temp folder.

Thanks buzzqw!

[buzzqw]

attention Shark_jlc !

change the pixelratio NOT to "16:11" (for example) but to "16 11" without quotes and without :

BHH

EDIT: dowload this 2 sample from the name you will understand the parameter used (are pal=

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/16_11movie.wmv and http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/12_11_movie.wmv (~1mb each)

[Shark_jlc]

This post will show my ignorance, I'm sure, but why do both movies show a width of 640 when you do a properties check on them?

It's obvious that one is widescreen and the other is not, would the widesreen not have a.... wider width?

[buzzqw]

one word : PAR (and two more AR and DAR)
would be long to explain but SeeMoreDigital have a lots of info on his site

start here http://www.seemoredigital.net/03_Video_Info.html and then go to "Resolution" and "Anamorphics"

i can suggest a long a intesive read. it is very well written andd ask to most "unquestionable" question :D

[buzzqw]

I am having a problem encoding a certain episode.

since the error is replicable, i suppose there is some problem with those vobs.

please try to open the movie.avs with mediaplayer classic or virtualdub and advanced till 81% of movie...

got any error ?

another try could be changing the xvid profile or better try with x264

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

Trying to play the movie.avs file in anything on my machine pegs my processor out and it just jumps and skips everywhere :/

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

try reducing resolution, open movie.avs look at out_width = XXX, set it to 320 and play... is in synch ?
if not may be a problem of ripping... (try with ripit4me)


@ALL

As you now Sh0dan has build an awesome plugin for avisynth ( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120025 ) "SoundOut"

With this plugin is possible to eliminate BePipe usage , and so .Net Framework

what is cons and pro ?

PRO: no .NET needed, no LAME.exe, mp3 encoding would be more robust since will be limited to official preset ( 32 40 48 56 64 80 96 112 128 160 192 224 256 320)
Other audio encoding NERO/OGG would be the same

CONS: AAC CCT (winamp) wouldn't be able to encode to 5.1 Channels , AAC CCT would be limited only to 2 ch (mono,stereo,dpl,dpl II), for MP3 only ABR and CBR mode avaiable (no more pure quality preset)
Maybe a little slower (60 seconds for every hours of audio encoded, on my p4 3.0 lame goes to near x8 realtime)


i have already done all modify to automkv, but, as always i have backupped all source

please tell me your preference

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

Changing the out_width doesn't seem to make a difference in the playback of the file for me. I'll rip with ripit4me and re-encode tonight.

In regards to the new plugin, the trade off is that AutoMKV loses some dependencies, but also loses some functionality.

*shrug* I have no preference :/

[sunflash10]

I think that the pros outweigh the cons in this case. Although CCT becomes less useful, there is always Nero AAC which is more or less the same thing. The better mp3 encoding is what matters to me most.

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc
have you select NONE to resizer ? if so delete from movie.avs last=movie

@sunflash10

thanks for you answer
about cct i think too could be ok even if limited to 2ch. Nero aac deliver an optimal quality and is freeware for personal use.
Even more encoding 5.1 with nero is painless while with cct i must check every switch to make compliant...

i would like to include neroaacenc with automkv software but actually there is some license problem... i have better hope for future :)

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc

...

I did select none, and I'll set last=movie tonight and try to play again!
Thanks.

[buzzqw]

i cannot set last=movie ! is automkv that set it when you select resizer NONE!

to test open the movie.avs and remove the line last=movie, then open in vdub/mediaplayer classic !

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

BHH

I removed the line where last=movie was set, and I set the width to 320 and still, no change. The movie.avs file just totally pegs out my machine and cannot be played :/

I've attached movie.avs in case you get a second to make sure I'm not missing something.

I have been using AutoMKV to make XviD and Zune movies. But I want to try H.264 but I am a little confused on the settings. I want a good quality 1 pass encoder, and I don't care about a target size, and I don't know what I should use for a profile.

Should I use:
> Constant Quality CRF?
> Constant Quality QP.
> I pass Intermediate?

What value of CRF should I use?

Right now when I use XviD I generally use single pass, don't care about size, quantizer of 3. I am looking for something similar.

Thanks,

[Huerta]

I was wondering if anyone could answer a question I have.

I have episodes and movies that I want to encode in really good quality. I've been encoding in Xvid for now but would like to try something different.

The episodes and movies are anime. I'm still learning DVD terms but I found out that the aspect ratio is 16:9. And it is 1080p Highest Quality HD Format.

I am going to use H.264 and Nero AAC when I encode. I was wondering what other settings I should use in order to get great quality. I also want to keep the Widescreen Resolution in case I put the episodes back to DVD. So what would you guys recommend.

[nx6]

Hello. I'm new I've been trying to get this to work for about the last two weeks and have yet to finish with a 100% successful MKV file. :confused:

I just tried another run of ripping a DVD with dual audio tracks and one subtitle track to an MKV, and the result is one that happens quite often. Everything seems to rip and process fine, but then when it finishes, I go looking for the final movie file, and there isn't one.

This time, after it ripped the DVD I got the error message that AutoMKV couldn't find the file "mkmvaudio.vbs" this happens quite often, even though the file is right in the directory it says it is looking in. So I aborted the rip since it said it couldn't rip the audio, then tried again but instead of pointing to the DVD drive I used the main VIDEO_TS from the aborted try before since the DVDFabDecrypter appeared to have done its job right and the DVD was on disk at that point.

I went to work and the X264 encoding was on its second pass, and I came home and the logfile says the job is done, but there is no final movie file.

Here's the log, I didn't see any text about errors, but it's like there are some final steps not being completed and I don't know why.

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

your source file is "Partly Film" and so AutoMKV will deinterlace with an hybrid procedure... that seems not allowed by wmv encoder

try this : on advanced settings, on deinterlacer set to FILM and then reencode

@weaver4

> Constant Quality CRF?
would be my first try :) with a value between 18 and 22 (is a personal taste)
is good looking and near as fast

@Huerta
set resizer to lanczos
width to 720
on advanced setting set use anamorphic
as profile i would go to crf profile (for maximize quality) or Encoding-Mainprofile

@nx6
first, move AutoMKV to c:\temp\apps or short path, don't put automkv folder on desktop

mini how-to for dvd2mkv

rip the dvd (ripit4me is truly great)
move the ripped dvd to c:\ripped\dvd\video_ts\....
open automkv
click on input an browse to c:\ripped\dvd and click on video_ts.ifo
select container
select codec
select disk settings
select the audio tracks (and remember that to use NERO you must download neroaacenc.exe from nerodigital.com site, it's free)
select subs
optional: select width and resizer
click Start Encoding
...
...

after some hours you will have in c:\ripped\dvd\video_ts\ a file named video_ts.mkv, this is your film

anyway i looking for the log , thanks !

Do I have to use the C drive? I don't have much room on it. I have an empty 30GB drive as drive S I was using for this try.

I actually got one job to almost complete successfully with this same DVD with AutoMKV on the desktop folder. But I got errors when it came time to add the subs and I got a movie file with good quality and both audio tracks but no subs. :(

But now that I think I'm not sure if that was AutoMKV or when I was trying MKVMagic before.

Also, should AutoMKV and the other folders (exe, profiles) be loose in C:\temp\apps or can they be in a containing folder?

[fogbav]

I vote for the new Audio Plugin !

[buzzqw]

@nx6
isn't necessary C: , just a shorter path
S:\dvdripping\automkv is very good ! (for example)

both audio tracks but no subs
if you can relaunch muxing.bat and spot the error (also post here muxing.bat)

should AutoMKV and the other folders (exe, profiles) be loose in C:\temp\apps or can they be in a containing folder?

:confused: ...

automkv is "self contained" with its folders
automkv.exe
license.txt
profiles folder
exe folder
all these files/folder must been in the same folder , download the full apps, unrar to s:\xxx\automkv and all is within

@fogbav

hi !

thanks for your vote. now with 3 to 0 (:mad: holy cows, 3 votes only, what the hell ! sometime i think to quit. :mad: ) seems that new plugin is preferred.
And i prefer it too.

fogbav, feel free to put your experience in the wiki !

[delacroixp]

I've done a couple of H264 encodes (all within the last week) with MeGUI and currently with AutoMKV using the mkv container.

They're quite breathtaking compared to Dr DivX 1 and VirtualDub encodes from a few years back... but nowhere do I find the option for 1080HD encoding. Both MeGUI and AutoMkv seem to be limited to the 'Home Theater' (720 x ???) profile.

Some of the guys on the Dr DivX Forums recommended Nero Recode which certainly supports 1080HD but possibly not the Mkv Container.

What's available in OSS ?

At 62 pages, it might be time for a new thread? :) People might not see that on page 61 you asked a question.

Maybe with the next .77 release?

[delacroixp]

I've completed a few encodes using AutoMKV with H264 and the Mkv container.

I'm compressing the 'Band of Brothers' series onto 1 DVD to compare my similar exercise with Dr DivX 1 and VirtualDub a few years back.
I would certainly recommend Constant Quality CRF as a vote for perfect efficiency and consistency.

http://forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=2760
Kamiwa (above link) suggested that a
Dr DivX quantizer of 2 = Q18 (H264) and a
Dr DivX quantizer of 3 = Q22 . "
Dr DivX quantizer of 4 = Q24 . "

Good luck and have a good one.

in WIDTH you can write what you want, even 1980 or 10000! automkv will encode at this width !

the profiles are used for determine codec configurations not width or height

@Shark_jlc
Also if you can add the code to AutoMKV to not "deinterlace with an hybrid procedure" when making a WMV film

DONE ! in next update

.....now with 3 to 0 ( holy cows, 3 votes only, what the hell ! sometime i think to quit. ) seems that new plugin is preferred.
And i prefer it too.....
It wasn't that I didn't care. I looked at the description of the new plugin. I just didn't have a strong opinion -- don't have enough encoding experience to appreciate the pros and cons.

[pdjm]

I don't understand one thing, the tooltip in the auto adjust crf option says that this option is a must for crf profile encoding however when i use crf profile i can't select this option. The check box has a strange behaviour, i try to check it but it's not possible to check it. I don't understand why this happens because the option is there and it's not greyed out.
Thanks for great program!

[pdjm]

One more question.I always use auto deinterlacer options and in my home computer i always get a message of this kind in the log file "Processing completed. Type is determined to be ..." However in two different computers where i also make some encodings with the same options this message is never there.Why does this happens?The lack of this message means the the program was not able to found the correct deinterlacer options?

[Prospero424]

AutoMKV is working GREAT for me, but I'm having one minor problem.

When I input a .TS file with AC3 audio and choose to use the original audio in AutoMKV, the final size of the resulting .MKV is always too small by a few hundred megabytes. AutoMKV seems to be calculating file size improperly (at least for AC3 .TS files).

Sure, I can compensate by setting the size manually, but I wanted to report my specific problem with the automation.

[delacroixp]

Awesome...

[note: When saving the .ini file... if you overwrite the .ini the file is saved without the .ini extension]

:) :D :eek:
Pascal

[buzzqw]

@dlflannery

your answer is a good aswer too !
if you cannot evaluate pro/cons mean new audio plugin is ok for you ! :)

@pdjm
attention: Adjust CRF Profile is to use ONLY when you answer "HIT MEDIA SIZE" on crf question.

about the inderlace: the phrase "Type is determined to be ..." is written only for NOT PROGRESSIVE source files.

@Prospero424
thanks, thanks ! you spotted a very ugly error !
automkv will double count the size of audio.... only with ts files
Fixed in next release !

@delacroixp
in next version the queue module got update. AutoMKV will save for every job its xml profile, so will be possible to "Use this profile" with queue

i hope to not break anything...

Gr8... will each job need a separate folder or will many jobs be able to use 1 folder, 1 temp folder and can each job have a different xml (profile) ?

Also, if I rip 3 movies in IFO mode into 1 folder (assume each movie is 1 file), including the IFO file and rename them all accordingly... movie1.VOB, movie1.IFO... movie2.VOB, movie2.IFO... etc
Will AutoMKV and/or DGIndex encode all 3 movies correctly ?

[buzzqw]

in next update the queueXXX.ini (jobs) and the new x264queueXXXprofile.xml goes in the automkv directory, so there is no need to have as many folders as jobs. Even the temp folder could be one only

Also, if I rip 3 movies in IFO mode into 1 folder (assume each movie is 1 file), including the IFO file and rename them all accordingly... movie1.VOB, movie1.IFO... movie2.VOB, movie2.IFO... etc
Will AutoMKV and/or DGIndex encode all 3 movies correctly ?

no, sorry. each full rip in one folder. OR put all in one folder, then create the d2v files for each movie and demux only the audio you want (named accordly to movie name).Then you can queue the d2v+audio works

I tried again last night. The AutoMKV folder is on the root level of the S: drive and when I woke up today I had the "cannot find file temp\mkvmaudio.vbs" error again. :rolleyes: If I double-click on the file I got a Script Host Error saying that in Line 2, Character 1, it couldn't find the file. I get the same cannot find file error for mkvmaudio2.vbs, movielenght.vbs, and deint.vbs, all of which are in S:\AutoMKV077\temp\ right now.


P.S.: If you're getting ready to do a new release, it would be movielength.vbs. ;)

Ah, I was looking in \temp. Well, the files from that attempt were all thrown out when I tried again. :D I saw the line saying what size the muxxed file was but I thought the \DVD folder only held the ripped DVD files, and I didn't see any files that matched the listed size anywhere else.

about cannot find vbs files, could be your antivirus that deined the lauch of those files?

I'll see. I turned off the antivirus and am running again right now. Will AutoMKV work with .NET framework 2.0? As that is what I have.

what file ? mkvmaudio.bat
In the Script Host Error message? I don't know. It did not specify. I will try taking screenshots next time it happens.

also, please try to lauch mkvmaudio.bat , is ok ?
BHH

I'll try that if this attempt freezes on those steps again.
Thank you for your help.

Hey guys, I'm having a problem getting subs in my foreign XvidD encodes which I am afraid is a bad case of "user error". I've tried a number of things including burning them in and a number of different movies, all of which I have had no suceess. VLC player simply doesn't show them and the subtitle track IS selected and enabled. WMP & WMP classic shows the extra black space at the bottom of the screen but displays nothing, captions are enabled. If anyone could take a look at the attached and steer me in the right direction, I would be very greatfull. This is really the first hiccup I've hit with this fine piece of programming.

Cheers,

No subtitles

and the now the movie is about half the viewing size as before (movie.avs does say 720) and the sounds is still out of sync.

I will try again with these settings tonight, but I'm going to re-rip the movie with ripit4me.

[buzzqw]

a little note about subtitles and WMV

first of all for view subtitles is needed http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm and if installed in Haali Media Splitter allowed to load vsfilter

second: in wmv isn't possible muxing subtitle ! you must "embed/burn in" subtitles, by checking on Advanced Settings "Burn Subtitle in Movie"

BHH

[delacroixp]

no, sorry. each full rip in one folder. OR put all in one folder, then create the d2v files for each movie and demux only the audio you want (named accordly to movie name).Then you can queue the d2v+audio works


Thanks much though perhaps we (you) could use the idea of watch folders as implemented by Dr DivX (http://stage6.divx.com/Dr_DivX/show_video/1010870) which would allow numerous rips in 1 folder to be automatically encoded according to a specific profile.

As to the default resolution options... Auto, 720, 704, etc... perhaps you could include 'Original'.
I realise that most people use encoding to crunch or compress their movies by 60%, 80% or more... mostly through downsizing and then partly through the elimination of extraneous audio tracks & extras. Only a small fraction of the compression is actually due directly to the new codec... though H264 (Mpeg4 P10) has very a significant advantage over Mpeg2 material.
Nothing beats the quality of original resolution by eliminating the downsizing process.

Maybe this isn't exactly the appropriate place to ask this, but it has happened with two dvd ripped movies that subtitles are not shown on video...
(would it be illegal to name those two movies, or could I do that for reference purposes? )

I encoded those movies both with autoMKV and Nero Recode and the subtitles are not shown, although I have all necessary software installed and did not omit any relevant step in the encoding procedure...

DirectVobSub loads, the "Show subtitles" setting is selected, so as the relevant subtitle, but they are not actually displayed...

I even tried ripping the subs with a different program, removing those embedded and merging the new subtitle files to no avail...
Even having internal AND external subs did not help and choosing between the two...

What is at fault here? Should I use an earlier version of DirectVobSub, or is it due to a bad rip? (I re-ripped both movies 2-3 times...in this case, maybe not all protection was properly removed ? )

[buzzqw]

yes, isn't the appropriate thread...

anyway.. are you using mediaplayer classic ?
try reinstalling directvobsub by the link i posted

is haali (if installed) able to load vsfilter ?

@fogbav

hi !

thanks for your vote. now with 3 to 0 ( holy cows, 3 votes only, what the hell ! sometime i think to quit. ) seems that new plugin is preferred.
And i prefer it too.

fogbav, feel free to put your experience in the wiki !

Hi buzzqw !

Sorry that i am not so present here in the forum as i was in the past. I have some big changes in my Job so give me 2 weeks or so and i will do all the tests and bring back my lazy buddy in here again ..8)

The problem is ... your Program is getting near perfect now ... and so all the freaks out there seems to be some kind of "pleased". Please ... never give up ... you do a very great job in here ... even if it gets some kind of silent (3 Votes only).

Best IT is when you here nothing about the IT ....8) Thats the time it is running kind of perfect ... same with your program.

How would I do a grayscale encode in AutoMKV? I remember there being a checkbox on MkvMagic's advanced settings. I might be ripping a DVD of an old B&W film soon and would like to reap the space savings if I can define it as a grayscale job.

[buzzqw]

on advanced setting there is a check named "Last line avs script" , check it and write grayscale()

Sounds awesome... does the entire encode need to be in grayscale to truly benefit ?
I'm keen to encode 'The World at War' and 'The Cold War' series both of which are over 20 hrs long and 'mostly' in B&W... but not completely.

I don't know much about video encoding, but in still images Greyscale is typically 256 shades (4 bit), so comparing this to a full color (24 bit image) we're dealing with a colorspace that is only 1/6th the size. Even if this is done in a higher depth grayscale (the limit seems to be 16bit) we're still drastically reducing the actual palette used to draw the image.

So the answer is YES. You would have to encode the entire movie as grayscale for this to work. I don't think it is possible to dynamically change the bit depth of a video file while its playing, so whatever type you set it up as would be the number of colors assumed for the entire feature.

Logically, bandwidth not being used to handle so many more colors can be put to use on lowering image compression, so you would get much better image quality in a file of the same disk size. Or not used at all, so the encoding bitrate would just be lower and you would have a film of the same quality as the "full color" encoded one, but without unneeded bulk.

Also, since we would be reducing the actual color palette, compression artifacts wouldn't have the ability to show up in color on a B&W movie (which would be very noticeable).

If anyone can correct me on this I'd be happy to hear.

I might try encoding twice so I can see exactly what sort of saving I get from it. But it would be hard to gauge the exact benefits since I can't set a certain "image quality" for the encode and then use an unlimited movie size to see the difference between 4-bit grayscale and 24-bit color. Plus modern compression algorithms may make the difference less drastic.

Well, you can in fact set the image quality by using the ConstantQuality-crf.xml profile set at, lets say, 22... or even leave it at the default of 18. This is a 1-pass unlimited filesize encode that 'gets it right the 1st time'... guided by your quality setting... higher numbers producing less quality and vice versa. 18 is near-perfect quality while 22 is still Excellent and 24 is Good quality.
This will also save you time along with all the adjoining benefits of Consistency, Efficiency and Effectiveness.

Ah, I'll have to try that. I haven't had a chance to futz around with the profiles as I've been struggling to get a project to finish successfully in AutoMKV up to this point (and I've just now gotten there). [putting on dunce cap]

I still haven't gotten episodic DVD ripping (straight from DVD to MKV) to work properly, I'm not getting the right audio track options in AutoMKV when I use an .IFO file other than the one the program chooses by default (the one that rips all episodes into one single movie). But I realized today that DVDFabDecrypter can rip individual episodes from the DVD very nicely, it even lets me preview the episode so I don't have to guess what IFO to use and lets me pick the audio and subtitle tracks I want to rip there. So I preripped one today and set AutoMKV to processing before I left for work, so if that comes out fine I can concentrate of actually getting the best quality image I can in my size specification.

Speaking of quality settings, how do I interpret the AAC audio quality settings? I'm used to using bitrates for audio settings, but the AAC encoder is using some weird .1 -> 1.0 scale, how are these related to file size or quality?

well, the audio seems to be fixed, but the movie is still not widescreen. I have about a 1" bar at the top and 1/4" bar at the bottom.

I'm tired of this cartoon :/

Since the movie is watchable now, I'm just going to leave it. Buzzqw, if you want me to test any other setttings for this, let me know, and I will.

And it didn't rip properly with the DVD I was testing this feature with. I got a message that audio hadn't encoded properly, so I quit. I tried running it again after changing the audio format in case it was an AAC encoder error. No dice. :devil:

Huh? :confused: I don't understand.

The tracks I had to choose from in AutoMKV where the ones I had preripped in DVDFabDecrypter, so I couldn't choose the "first" audio track from the DVD as I hadn't ripped that one.

@buzzqw

Ah, I think I understand you now. Since I ripped only the audio and subtitle tracks I wanted with DVDFabDecrypter, I don't have to define them in AutoMKV. I can just choose "All Audio Tracks" and "RIP ALL SUBS", which I just now tried, and the audio encoded this time and I got the final mkv file.

The only downside is the audio tracks are both labeled "und" in VLC media player.

New FULL Release !

stable NEW package WITH DVDFabDecrypter www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV078.rar (8.38mb, all inclusive, NO install)
stable NEW package WITHOUT DVDFabDecrypter www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV078_NORIP.rar (7.96mb, NO install)

0.78 Full Package 13/03/2007
ADDED: Is now possible to specify AVS input in AUDIO (suggestion by dlflannery)
Build your avs inputs as these examples:
for Videoinput.avs: directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",audio=false)+directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",audio=false)
for Audioinput.avs directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",video=false)+directshowsource("C:\apps\test\movie.avi",video=false)
ADDED: --deadzone-inter and --deadzone-intra support to x264 profiles, change "false" to value you want (like 4)
ADDED: Process this PGC option
ADDED: PGC ripping. Only on ifo input (or dvd input) will be possible to select the specific PGC to process. Example, the vts_02_0.ifo contain 3 pgc , 3 episodes, before selecting input check both process this ifo and process this pgc. After selecting input select from the drop down list the pgc you want to process (correct subtitles ripping isn't guarantee)
ADDED: In XviD profiles added a new option <muxing> (if used only for avi container). This option can be valorized as: <muxing>auto</muxing> or <muxing>avi10</muxing> or <muxing>opendml</muxing>. On auto will be AutoMKV to select the better muxing, on avi10 will be forced the AVI 1.0 mux, on opendml will be forced OpenDML muxing
ADDED: To Queue and to save settings the pgc check
ADDED: On "Audio wasn't encoded properly" now AutoMKV will ask for continue or quit. The question is "timed", so after 120 seconds AutoMKV will continue, even if the muxing would be broken
ADDED: "Use DirectShowSource for Audio" to Save Setting and Queue
ADDED: Preset PAR to WMV encoding, the value of <pixelratio> could be
10:11 for DV NTSC fullscreen
40:30 for DV NTSC widescreen 40:33
12:11 for DV PAL fullscreen 12:11
16:11 for DV PAL widescreen 16:11
ADDED: AutoMKV will check for NeroAACEnc presence and if not found will offer the possibility to download (will simply start default browser on official Nero Digital Audio page)
ADDED: Command line help will be invoked even by -? (suggestion by Demeragon) (and by "/?" "?" "--?" "-help" "--help")
ADDED: Support for SoundOut. BePipe will be no more used. No more need of .NET Framework. Look at http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120025&highlight=soundout
ADDED: SoundOut need that libsndfile-1.dll is in program path. On first start AutoMKV will ask to copy into c:\windows\system32 . Click YES button or Audio would be not encoded
ADDED: AutoMKV will save for every job its xml profile, so will be possible to "Use this profile" with queue. I hope to not break anything...
ADDED: "Original" in WIDTH selection. If selected "Original" the resizer will switch to NONE
FIXED: MP3 will support only official preset bitrate: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320, also removed quality encoding, will remain ABR (default) and CBR encoding
FIXED: Coding Tech. AAC will be able to encode only up to 2ch (DPL II, DPL, Stereo, Mono). For encoding with AAC audio up to 5.1 Channel use Nero AAC Audio encoder
FIXED: ColorMatrix thread will be set to number of CPU*1.5. ColorMatrix will be faster.
FIXED: Episodic DVD/IFO and Process this PGC is avaiable only with ifo/dvd input
FIXED: Episodic DVD/IFO is renamed to Process this IFO
FIXED: AutoMKV, as reported in log will move original audio file to audio.XXX in \temp directory. Now it will copy this file (suggestion by dlflannery)
FIXED: When selecting on audio Copy Original the channel downmixing mode is disabled
FIXED: There are several refer to "ACC" audio instead of "AAC" audio (thanks to Demeragon)
FIXED: XviD threads will be set to automatic detection (suggestion by Demeragon)
FIXED: Several improvment to only audio encoding
FIXED: When encoding to WMV and movie is "Partly Film" then no more is used "Hybrid Decimating" but classical decimating (suggestion by Shark_jlc)
FIXED: AutoMKV will double count the size of audio on TS files (thanks to Prospero424)
FIXED: Better ToolTip for "Adjust CRF Profile". This option is to use only in conjuction with CRF profile and HIT MEDIA SIZE
FIXED: More robust use of XviD CQ profile and Hit Media Size
UPDATE: X264 to 628

@Prospero424
the width are near infinite...

@nx6
yes, that's what i mean :)
automkv analyze the ifo and found several audio tracks/subs, every audio and subs have an "addresses", but ripping and selecting only wanted audio/subs doesn't change the "addresses" in ifo, and so automkv goes crazy

Of course you'ld have to pre-analyse each movie to calculate the recommended width for each format (PAL, NTSC, 4:3, HD).

I truly underestimated the size needed for extra audio tracks. The episode I ripped last night had two audio tracks and one subtitle, and container size was 1/4 CD and when I played the final movie I found the video size was only 160px wide. :eek: I was using the default NeroAAC settings (.35 quality) and am trying again with a 225MB final size and hope that helps my video substantially.

@buzzqw

I think I'm hung here on my system. I have a command prompt window which says:

S:\AutoMKV078\temp\MainMovie\COWBOY BEBOP\VIDEO_TS\temp>"S:\AutoMKV078\exe\encod

EO_TS\temp\mkvmaudio.avs"
avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )

and a window titled "Converting File" that says "Conversion Status: Initialization Successful, Beginning Convertion..." which I think belongs to NeroAAC.

My CPU is running 97-100%, but task manager says it is x264.exe that is taking all the cycles, and I seem to have no disk activity like I usually would have.

I'm going to shut down and go to work, but first I'll tell you what I changed from last time...

I ripped a different DVD episode and this time took the first two audio tracks listed in DVDFabDecrypter, and I once again defined them in AutoMKV instead of just choosing "all audio" AutoMKV listed four audio track choices when I was setting this run up even though I had only ripped two to start with. I was trying to get both audio tracks and have them labeled correctly for VLC player. Anyway, these happened to be 5.1 audio tracks, is that why I am hanging now? I figured Nero would downmix as needed on its own.

ah, I closed the open command prompt window and got the "Audio was not encoded properly" error with the auto countdown you added starting.

You're quite right but the 'Image Layout' is still good.

FIXED: Coding Tech. AAC will be able to encode only up to 2ch (DPL II, DPL, Stereo, Mono). For encoding with AAC audio up to 5.1 Channel use Nero AAC Audio encoderI can't say I like this option at all.

CT's encoder is every bit as good at generating 6Ch AAC-LC and HE audio streams as Nero's - if not better.

Personally, I can't see much point of offering options such as, DPL II, DPL. As I can't see an instance when they would be used. In my opinion all that's needed is Mono, 2Ch (stereo) and 5.1 (6Ch) surround for both Nero and CT's encoder

Dare I say it... Maybe, my PM'd suggestion of being able to directly select CT's and Nero's AAC-LC and HE encoders via the "Basic Settings" menu (and not via the "Advanced Audio Menu") may prove useful after-all.... As even I find the "Advanced Audio Menu" a little too confusing to configure and rather unnecessary :eek:

Check your 'temp' encoding folder for the audio track... and take note of the filesize... I like to keep my 'audio track' of regular stereo encodes between 5% and 10% of the video filesize. You may be suitably impressed with a .25 quality setting... or less... depending on your application and constraints.

To save time... you could run your encode and when it's completed encoding the audio, check the filesize, listen and if necessary... cancel the encode and start again with new audio settings.

if you want 2 first tracks (the first and only two) just select the first and the second audio tracks regardless of what is named in list

Selecting tracks at all seems to be what causes the "audio did not encode properly" error. I can only get audio to encode if I use "All Audio" setting.

are you sure ?

That was my mistake. I did not know Nero could handle 5.1 channel audio but you mention it in the release notes for this version. I thought it might get confused if 6 channels was input and it was only expecting 2. :p

I couldn't tell what Nero was doing as I just had the "beginning conversion..." message. No progress meter moving and no disk activity. It just appeared to be frozen. That and the unsupported format error is what led to my thinking.

Is it possible to use more then one avisynth filter at once?

I'd like to use the SeeSaw script but I'd also like to run a denoiser as well. Is it possible? Like add the second one after a comma?

Edit:
Wait just a minute.

So if I ran the avisynth script:
Convolution3d (preset="animeHQ").SeeSaw(NRlimit=3, NRlimit2=4, Sstr=1.5, Slimit=5, Spower=5, Sdamplo=6, Szp=16)

It would run both of them?

- on win2k the C:\windows directory does not exist. its c:\winnt. AutoMKV tries to copy the file and fails.
When i create c:\windows\system32 the program runs fine.

the normalisation procedure seems to take a ludicrous amount of time, i waited for almost an hour for it to normalize a 2hr movie (6ch DT3 -> nero stereo), it taxes my cpu only 50% though, is that program multithreaded?

aside from time issues the program seems to work fine.

@buzzqw:
The "set width resolution" used to go to 320 when a Zune profile was selected. Now it goes to "automatic" and 320 is not one of the pull down selections. Will automatic give the 320 needed for Zune, or does the number need to be entered manually?

Thanks

Edit, after some testing with Zune profiles:
1. It appears you do have to manually enter the 320 width for Zune profile encoding. (Better to have it automatically set -- 320 is the only width for Zune devices.)

2. Testing with two mpeg2 clips was fine with interlace set to auto. One clip was partly film, one was partly interlaced.

3. Wasn't quite sure what settings were needed for this AVS input file designed to splice multiple AVI files:

function makeMovie(string fileName) {

}

makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi") ++
\ makeMovie("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi")

What I found worked was:
1. Input the AVS video file. Do not input any files for audio when asked.
2. For audio track 1, use the pull-down menu and select the same AVS file name already loaded as the video input file.
3. Check use direct source for both video and audio (i.e., two check boxes are checked)

With these settings it encoded fine and the resize and autocrop functions were applied.

Is that the way you intended it to operate?

I noticed a colormatrix correction being applied -- I believe this is new isn't it? Playing movie.avs in WMP with and without the color correction, I saw no significant difference.

Except for having to manually enter the Zune width, all the WMV stuff looks great! :thanks: for all your work!

Do you want part of the VOB, or part of the resultant movie?

After playing with ChopperXP, I see you want part of the VOB.... now I just need to find some place to put it.

I had a 2.5 hour movie I was encoding in x264 using the ConstantQuality-CRF profile with a quantizer of 20. I encoded this movie into 640x272 and the filesize came out be a whopping 1.95G which surprised me since the XviD file of the same movie same resolution with a quantizer of 3 was 1.7G. So I tried encoding it with the same resolution, same encoder (H-264), same audio, same quantizer value with some other tools; here is the result.

HandBrake/MediaFork on the PC --- 1.34G
HandBrake/MediaFork on the Mac --- 1.31G
Visual-Hub on the Mac --- 1.27G

Why are the results so much larger with AutoMKV?

[buzzqw]

@weaver4

is the difference due to audio ?

or to different encoder ?

if you are perfectly sure of identical settings (bframes, cabac...) and the final movie is equal in all encoding (and quality wise) post a warning to x264 mailing list :)

[url]...........@dlflannery
on my side on selecting zune profile the width goes to 320... have you update the profiles too ?

Hmmm..... :confused: I just opened it again, switched to AVI container, set width to 640, then switched back to WMV container. As soon as I selected a Zune profile, the width went to 320... sorry, my mistake! :stupid:

[weaver4]

I tried to keep the audio the same on all of them, but I could not control the Audio on VisualHub. I can't say about the Bframes and such such since you don't have control of those things in HandBrake and VisualHub. And with AutoMKV the only thing I did was select the profile and set the CRF value. The audio was AAC at .35 so it was low and not have much influence of filesize. Handbase and VisualHub both use x264 coder.

You have to admit that a Data Rate of 1675kbs for a CRF value of 20 is way out of line for a 640x272 movie. It should be somewhere around 900-1000kbps.

Quality on all of them look great.

[buzzqw]

you could anayse the mp4 resulting with avinaptic (search on forum), this tools could give all the parameter used by encoder !

and remember that b frames and deblocking could give a boost to reduce bitrate

Thanks,

Are you using AutoMKV 0.78... ???

IF not... did you batch your encode first... and then run the queue... ???
AutoMKV 0.76 could not remember 'modified' quantizer settings in batch mode.

Therefore your encode would run at the default quantizer setting of 18... regardless of your choice.
This being true... try a direct encode... or upgrade first...

In the near-past... any mono encode still used 2 channel audio to encode. Any filesize benefit from Mono was thus lost.

Single channel mono should easily be played on stereo and even 5.1 surround systems.

The Image is up (see original post).


@buzzqw

Perhaps, along with the option for Original Resolution could be added the option for Automatic Cropping (see Image) ... done in such a way that downsizing is not necessary... even if it implied cropping 1 line extra or 1 too few.

Dr DivX 1 and VirtualDub have both had a simple Editing feature to 'slice and dice' allowing the user to edit-out intros, credits, adverts or the like... a feature certainly high on my wishlist.


While I realise that this is way beyond the present status of AutoMKV... a preview panel with a simple resolution slider does allow you to view the possible resolutions, croppings and changes in croppings & resolutions... in realtime.... and preplan accordingly.

There is a "preview" encode feature isn't there? Where it only encodes the first 5% of the movie.

That would be faster than having to wait for an entire feature to encode before seeing the results. But then it would be more useful to specify an actual time index range to use so you could pick, say, a high action section of the movie, much of the first 5% will be opening credits.

I've constructed my video.avs and audio.avs exactly as quoted above except substituting my two video file names where you have "movie.avi". Both files play OK in WMP11.

Trying to encode to Zune profile. Deinterlace set to NONE.
I notice when I load the audio AVS, I have to select "files of type all (*.*)" in the browser (i.e., .avs is not a pre-defined type).

I've tried all combinations of the two Use DirectShow check boxes (video and audio), i.e. (off,off), (on,off), (off, on) and (on, on).

I always get the same movie.avs in the temp folder:
Import("C:\MyVideo.avs")
audio=EnsureVBRMP3Sync(audio)
audio=ConvertAudioToFloat(audio)
audio=getchannel(audio,1,2)
audiodub(audio,last)
This fails for two reasons:
1. No audio clip has been loaded.
2. Even if my audio AVS was imported, it would not define the "audio" variable needed by movie.avs (following your quoted example above)

If I define "audio" in my audio AVS file and import it as the first statement in movie.avs, it encodes fine.

What am I doing wrong?

Also: I"ve tried it with deinterlace set to auto. It takes longer but still fails and movie.avs is the same.

Thanks.

I am having problems with 0.78. I am encoding a movie and I get the error "Audio wasn't Encoded Properly". But I look at the folder and the ac3 file was generated. This is exactly the same movie source I used with version 0.76 without a problem. I tried changing the Audio codec from Nero to CodingTech AAC but I got the same failure. I tried with two x264 profiles and had the same error. I then tried an xvid to avi and got the same result.

I saw that someone else was having the same problem but I never saw a resolution.

I saw that someone else was having the same problem but I never saw a resolution.

I was having the problem, it was pretty much the only thing keeping AutoMKV from working reliably for me. But I seem to be past it now, I hope. I had an odd experience last night with 0.78, long story short I ran an encode on a super fast profile to test if the audio issue was fixed and it seemed to be gone, but then when I tried to run the job for real - I used the same settings, only changing the final container size and X264 profile to "anime_maxquality" I had the error again. It was maddening! :eek: Why was it happening again when it had just done the job without a problem!

Anyway, I went to the forums and saw 0.78a had been released, so I installed it and ran my encode with the same settings it had just failed on previously and it worked! I'm starting to think the old normalization method had something to do with the issues I was having. I've only run that one job so far, though (because it took all the rest of that night and today while I was at work to finish with such a slow encoding profile). So it might still have an issue on the second or third run.

Have you tried 0.78a? It did get rid of that normalization delay me and a couple other people had.

I was comparing a X264 encoding made by HandBrake and VisualHub with a quantizer of 19.4 (62%) and 20.

I was encoding this file using Automkv 0.76 and when I checked the file using avinapic it said the CRF was 18! I redid the file the second time making sure the setting was 20 and avinapic still showed it as 18. I am now trying it with 0.78

whew....I was changing the CRF on the advanced settings page(tab) to 20; I was not changing the profile itself. Is this the wrong way to do it? So I was loading the ConstantQuality-CRF profile then changing the CRF on the Advanced page to 20 and then pressing the encode button. Is the right way to do it to go into the ConstantQuality-CRF.xml file and change the bitratequantizer to 20?

Is the Coding Tech AAC coder OK to use, never heard of it before? Or should I really be using the Nero?

[buzzqw]

there are two way of changing the profiles !

first, open the file into \profiles\x264-profiles\zxcvb.xml and edit it with notepad
second (and recommed) on advanced profiles editing modify the profile AND (after editing) check USE this Profile

in this way automkv will use this EDITED profile

about coding tech is better to use Nero (support 5.1ch!)

mini how-to
load the input file
select audio/container/codec/resize/width....
change the profile to crf
answer Go Unlimited
on advanced profile editing change bitratequantitizer from 18 to 20
check use this profile
click start

Thanks, I had been using AutoMKV to do Zune (which I never modified the profiles) and XviD where I edited the profiles.xml the way I wanted them. So I never ran into this before.

[buzzqw]

remember that in full package there are even the profiles, so all change you have made will be lost on upgrade!

also, even if you don't copy the \profiles folder remember that some update needs the new profiles (like new muxing mode for xvid)

The failures described in my earlier post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=970626&postcount=1313)continue although the movie.avs file has changed from before.

Again I tried all combinations of the 2 direct show check boxes (could you tell me what settings I should be using for these? :confused: -- that would cut my testing time by 4X !)

Depending on these checkbox settings I get two movie.avs versions.

One has:
movie = directshowsource("C:\videos\MyVideo.avs",audio=false)
movie = isRGB(movie) ? ConvertToYV12(movie,interlaced=true) : movie
movie = isYUY2(movie) ? ConvertToYV12(movie,interlaced=true) : movie
audio = DirectShowSource("C:\videos\MyVideo.avs",fps=30.000299,convertfps = true,video=false)
Note that the audio AVS ("MyAudio.avs") is never used.

The other version of movie.avs has just one line:
Import("C:\videos\MyVideo.avs")
Again the audio AVS file is not used.

After I select MyVideo.avs as the input file, a file browser comes up asking for an audio file. That is where I select MyAudio.avs. Is this correct? I don't see any other way to input the audio AVS file. This audio AVS then shows in the Audio Track 1 source window.

Thanks

[buzzqw]

just a little information...
i added the possibility to load avs as audio file... i never said that was supported in wmv.... (as you know wmv has a very different type of avs script since it must include even audio)

you could input this as video AND no select audio input AND don't check any directshow usage

LoadPlugin("DGDecode.dll")
global movie = directshowsource("1173967360__aaa.mkv",audio=false)
global audio = directshowsource("1173967360__aaa.mkv",video=false)

Thanks for the clarification,buzzqw.

In your example, why is the DGDecode plugin needed?
(Sorry if that is a newbie question.)

I reported a similar (not identical) case in an earlier post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=970062&postcount=1289) (see #3). I had to check both directshow boxes for it to encode properly. I did not load the DGDecode plugin and I didn't define clips movie and audio as global. Are the plugin and/or the global variables needed so the direct show boxes don't need to be checked?

Is it possible to state simple logic that determines whether the directShow boxes should be checked?

Thanks for your patience.

no, there is NO NEED to load dgdecode... i have simply edited a previus script... and havn't trim the load plugin. My mistake :)


the plugin and/or the global variables needed so the direct show boxes don't need to be checked?

when i use avitynth IMPORT fuction, avisynth "simply" import the "result" of audio and video, DON'T import what is the origins of audio and video.
When i use GLOBAL i force avisynth to remember what is audio and what is video


Is it possible to state simple logic that determines whether the directShow boxes should be checked?
more simply that you can suppose: whenever you want to process the input file (and so NOT AVS) by directshowsource

maybe due to not correct dgdecode handling, or you want to use a preprocessing filter using ffdshow, corrupted audio or video....

Thanks for your patience.
no problem what so ever!

I'm encoding the extras of Band of Brothers which always have tons of black space.
I used Dr DivX to preview and test the autocrop facility... which gave a preference for 6-Left & 4-Right... and the encode worked fine.

I thought 9-Left and 7-Right looked better (also a multiple of 16) and my encode crashed after doing the 'de-interlace check'... what gives ?

I downsized the main episodes to 720x400 but this extra I'm taking downto 640x368 (1024x576 Orig)... IF I choose the 640 width option (drop down menu)... does it automatically crop and then downsize ?

Automkv .78 suggestions after a bit of use:

1) Windows Media Encoder has failed to find the length on 3 out of 3 movies so far, even via the alternate method it tries.

2) I can't type a path in the "Select output folder" ? I like to throw these movies I encode into temp files, where ever.

3) I don't want a nero encoder popup everytime I start AutoMKV. Put a check box on the message window saying "Do not show on startup", or "do not show again".

4) When using a queue, what is the difference between the "Start Encoding" and the "Start Queue" button?

5) If the main drop-down for "Audio Track 2" is set to none, why not disable the remaining controls in that group (i.e containter drop down, channel drop down, slider)

Same thing can apply to any control group where the main control essentially negates the others.

6) After I start an encode, and then I go back to AutoMKV and look at my settings (maybe adjust something to see what it does), do NOT change the Encoding status based on what I just looked at. It's confusing.

:)

thanks Buzzqw.

[dlflannery]

I've been able to get H264 encodings (MKV or MP4 containers) using separate video-only and audio-only AVS input files. As we already discussed, I now know that this will not work with wmv encodings.

How aboue XVID/AVI ? I haven't been able to get it to work. I can't get AVS inputs to work at all for audio input with XVID, including also:

1. inputing a video+audio AVS as the video file and nothing as an audio file and selecting "all audio tracks"

2. inputing this same AVS as both the video file and the track 1 audio file.

I get encodings with no audio. Is there any way to get audio from an AVS input into an AVI/XVID encoding?

[buzzqw]

@delacroixp
you can't crop by odd number , change crop(movie,9,0,-7,-0) to crop(movie,10,0,-8,-0)

@Shark_jlc
1) Windows Media Encoder has failed to find the length on 3 out of 3 movies so far, even via the alternate method it tries.
don't worry, on my pcs it never got the exact lenght of movie. must be something within WMCmd.vbs AND DirectShowSource

I can't type a path in the "Select output folder"
don't know... i have negate the copy&paste here for security... ... i will do some test , if ok i will allow to paste the directory to output

I don't want a nero encoder popup everytime I start AutoMKV. Put a check box on the message window saying "Do not show on startup", or "do not show again".
i can add this to save settings, but if doing so i obligated all user to create a default profile... better to create a false neroAacEnc.exe of size > 10 bytes

4) When using a queue, what is the difference between the "Start Encoding" and the "Start Queue" button?

on start encoding only the last queue will start, on start queue all queue wainting will start

5) If the main drop-down for "Audio Track 2" is set to none, why not disable the remaining controls in that group (i.e containter drop down, channel drop down, slider)
i will consider.. but is a very low priority

Same thing can apply to any control group where the main control essentially negates the others.
for most control with "dangerous confict" is already done, if you spot something that MUST be disabled or will give a bad encoding , feel free to post

After I start an encode, and then I go back to AutoMKV and look at my settings (maybe adjust something to see what it does),

Sorry pal , but changing status AFTER and WHILE the encoding is started IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. Automkv will check parameters (audio codec,audio bitrate, resizers...) only at time when it need this information. Better, automkc will not save all parameter when you it start encoding, but will read dinamically while encoding

@dlflannery
i will do some test, but the workflow should be the same...

use avs like this for video

LoadPlugin("DGDecode.dll")
mpeg2source("movie.d2v") well you can add even more plugins and filters

for audio
LoadPlugin("NicAudio.dll")
NicAC3Source("audio.ac3")

it is ok for both x264 and avi, remember that all those avs must be played ok on mediaplayer classic

Don't you just hate the 'simple solution'... ??? So I guess 2 odd crops don't make a right...

It looks like there may be room for an improved Batch Interface... I've included an image (from Dr DivX OSS) which would move the 'start encoding button' to the Batch page... allow you to move your encodes up/down the queue... add plugins.... and portray a graphic display of the progress of your encode (See pic... pending approval).

Damn, and here I just started a job a half-hour ago. :p

I've got a request: I'm using Lame for audio on this encode, and after the normalize ran I was warned that applying +2 gain may cause audio clipping, but I wasn't aware it was going to ask for my confirmation and only saw it because I got back on the machine to check my email. Can we get a timeout added so if no user input a choice is automatically selected? That way the rest of the job is not held up by the question of whether to add gain or not on audio.

I realize this is probably someone else's project doing this and not AutoMKV itself.

@nx6
I realise that your request is more to do with the automatic timeout response than whether a +2 gain would in fact cause clipping.

@buzzqw (all)
I've been using BeSweet (BeLight GUI) which does a 2-pass strategy to test for optimal audio boost first and then to implement the change on the 2nd pass.
I've had a gain of +14 and more and I'm sure that only rarely will a +2 gain actually cause any clipping but perhaps we could have the option for a complete and thorough 2-pass quality audio-boost... for those who prefer the 'perfect solution' and/or have time on their side.

In most cases a proper amplitude audio boost will do more to enhance the illusion of quality than any subwoofer, sub-50Hz, frequency support.

Don't the example AVS you give apply to an mpeg2 source only? Here are the AVS I am using:

Video:
directShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi", audio = false) +
\ directShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi", audio = false)
Audio:
DirectShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane2.avi", video = false).resampleAudio(44100) +
\ DirectShowSource("C:\Video\NickPlane2006_12_27\NickPlane3.avi", video = false).resampleAudio(44100)
getchannel(1,1)
These files play OK in mediaplayer classic.

These do not work for AVI/DIVX target. I have to shut AutoMKV down -- I think the audio processing is in an infinite loop. They DO work for MP4/X264 target. :confused:

These two .avi files total about 110M. I am willing to upload them to a site where you could download them (please suggest site) if you want to test with them.

Actually I have two other files with exactly the same characteristics (nickPlane4 and nickPlane5) and they total only about 30 MB. And you would get to see what the "cranky old newbie" looks like -- if you can stand that! :rolleyes:

[Shark_jlc]

don't worry, on my pcs it never got the exact lenght of movie. must be something within WMCmd.vbs AND DirectShowSource


It has always failed the with it's first attempt, but has never failed on its second attempt on versions prior to this.


i can add this to save settings, but if doing so i obligated all user to create a default profile... better to create a false neroAacEnc.exe of size > 10 bytes


This sounds ugly. It sounds like AutoMKV should be reading it's default settings from an ini file (or the registry) instead of having defaults in the application code itself. This would then cause everyone to have a default profile, and give you a place to save settings.


on start encoding only the last queue will start, on start queue all queue wainting will start.


Sounds... odd. I'm not sure who sets up a queue and then doesn't use it.


i will consider.. but is a very low priority


for most control with "dangerous confict" is already done, if you spot something that MUST be disabled or will give a bad encoding, feel free to post

ok :/

The idea behind disabling the controls would be to decrease the possibility of user error, by giving people fewer options to choose from, or to be confused by.


Sorry pal , but changing status AFTER and WHILE the encoding is started IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS. Automkv will check parameters (audio codec,audio bitrate, resizers...) only at time when it need this information. Better, automkc will not save all parameter when you it start encoding, but will read dinamically while encoding


An end-user should not be able to do something that dangerous. If the settings were saved to an ini file, or registry, when the "Start Encode" or "Start Queue" button was hit, and then AutoMKV referenced that, it would take away any possible user-caused issues.

Buzzqw, once again I just want to say thank you for this application and the hard work you do with it. I've yet to come across a developer as helpful as yourself, and I hope you don't take these ideas I have as criticisms, I'm just thinking out loud of ways to help make this more accessable to a larger audience, and to decrease the amount of support you have to provide.

Thanks again Buzzqw.

Hi, I've been trying to find a working app to convert video to wmv for my PPC that will work with Vista and such my search has led me here. Now on to the matter at at hand...
I'm trying to convert a xvid avi to wmv. as soon as i click "start encoding" i get the error !!! BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED !!! Upon clicking OK, the program immediately crashes/closes (not sure if thats intended behavior upon error encounter).

10:19:06 Selected Input file: C:\Users\schizosmurf\Videos\Bleach\Dubbed\Bleach - 19 {C_P}.avi

It's funny you're mentioning that series. I haven't seen the {C_P} files but if they look like the [Dattebayo] fansubs I think the quality is very good considering file size. I'm actually trying to use AutoMKV to duplicate the quality of those encodes with my own anime on DVD. So far I have been unable to easily. They must have some really customized encoding profiles at work.

PPC? So you're using a Mac? If you're using OSX, you can get VLC Media Player for it, too and just play the original files.

no clip , i can assure, the procedure is safe

Yeah, I'm not worried about the audio clip, I just don't want to have to answer the question before it continues. :) If I hadn't come back to my PC it would have sat there for hours before I'd seen it. Can a command line switch be added by AutoMKV to "answer the question before it asks it"?

[buzzqw]

@dlflannery

i have replicated the error... but i don't know how to fix... seems a problem between soundout / directshowsource and the launch of those batch

i must search some other solution

automkv would be a "green application" so no registry and no configuration flying around

Sounds... odd. I'm not sure who sets up a queue and then doesn't use it.
... i use it... but i suppose that could generate confusion...

complete and thorough 2-pass quality audio-boost... for those who prefer the 'perfect solution' and/or have time on their side.
isn't possible to do a two pass with command line encoder like neroaac /ogg/lame....

And I suppose there's a good reason why the BeSweet audio encoder by DSPguru couldn't be included as an option... ???

My Com Sci Proffessor would often say that 'A thing of beauty is a joy forever'... and the 2-pass encoder by BeSweet smacks of pure sunshine...

there are two way of changing the profiles !

first, open the file into \profiles\x264-profiles\zxcvb.xml and edit it with notepad
second (and recommed) on advanced profiles editing modify the profile AND (after editing) check USE this Profile

in this way automkv will use this EDITED profile

about coding tech is better to use Nero (support 5.1ch!)

mini how-to
load the input file
select audio/container/codec/resize/width....
change the profile to crf
answer Go Unlimited
on advanced profile editing change bitratequantitizer from 18 to 20
check use this profile
click start

BHH

So what exacly does the CRF field do on the Advanced Settings Tab if it does not change the crf value of the encode? It seems to me that if I go over and put 20 into that field and then come back to the main tab and press encode it should encode with a crf of 20.

[buzzqw]

@weaver4

are you reffering to "Use CRF for Autoresize Routines" ?
if so this value is used only when doing autoresize, and usually with CRF profile the autoresize isn't needed

the exact what of editing the crf value was already exposed

EDIT: @delacroixp
besweet doens't work with avisynth, doesn't work with any file where is needed directshow , are you able to extract audio from an mkv with besweet ?

[nx6]

It sounds like AutoMKV should be reading it's default settings from an ini file (or the registry) instead of having defaults in the application code itself. This would then cause everyone to have a default profile, and give you a place to save settings.

I like this idea of having a default profile as well, as a file in the AutoMKV folder. I rather not have the program use the registry for a variety of reasons.

BHH
Do you mean you want a command line for ffmpeg for audio-only encoding with AVS input? I think I have the answer for that. Of course the ffmpeg build must have the avisynth option activated but most recent builds have that.

1. Define an AVS file with both video and audio in it. (ffmpeg will crash if you feed it an AVS with only audio in it.)

2. Here is an example command line that works -- tested on ffmpeg builds 7760 and 8047:
"C:\ffmpeg.exe" -i "C:\audio+video.avs" -vn -acodec mp3 -ab 128 -ac 2 -mbd 2 -async 1 -y "C:\audioOut.mp3"
It appears ffmpeg will process only the audio, but it will crash unless it can analyze both video and audio in the AVS file.

Edit after further testing:
You can synthesize the video for the video+audio AVS as follows:
# Source the audio clip as appropriate (this is just an example):
audio=directShowSource("inputFile",video = false);
# Following code synthesizes a blank video to match the audio so
# ffmpeg will not crash:
dur=audioLength(audio) / audioRate(audio)
video=blankClip(dur*20,320,240, "YUY2",20)
audioDub(video,audio)
This will work if inputFile is a video (with audio of course) or just an audio file, as long as it can be sourced in AVS.

So when we are using CRF we don't have to define a resize?

Whenever I chose the CRF profile, the width would change to 720, so I was resetting it to AUTO or the actual width if I knew it offhand.

renamed the source file to just Bleach19.avi and still same result. also plays fine in mpc and virtualdub(with which it was originally encoded to xvid)

i think i've figured out the problem or part of it. didnt really read this the first few times but when i open up automkv, Vista gives the error "COM surrogate has stopped working." Heres the details of the error.

so i would be led to believe that there is some incompatibility between ffvfw.dll and Vista, right? any ideas/thoughts?

EDIT: uninstalled ffdshow, and the windows error stopped occuring upon opening automkv, but still getting the exact same behavior when i try to encode. so i guess that had nothing to do with it

a big thanks anyway for your support !!!!

@nx6
as i wrote "usually" isn't needed.
a crf encoding is aimed , again usually, to a unknow file size, so the autoresize is a little non-sense. Autoresize has a reason to be used in conjuction with CRF AND Hit media Size

i use delaycut to "fix" the delay, so to fix the delay you must change the filename to moviexxx 420ms.ac3 .... into moviexxx 820ms.ac3
isn't as megui that use the delay function of mkvmerge when muxing

BHH

[delacroixp]

EDIT: @delacroixp
besweet doens't work with avisynth, doesn't work with any file where is needed directshow , are you able to extract audio from an mkv with besweet ?
I think my first movie was with MeGUI where I encoded the sound with BeSweet and then muxed it with MkvToolnix(ver 2.0.2) MkvMerge GUI.

I've been encoding 'Band of Brothers' with video-only... hoping to generate the soundtrack with BeSweet in VBR (Streaming quality) and then mux them together...
Encoding with video-only (using ConstantQuality-CRF) has allowed me to better guage filesize and the Quantizer required to fit everything (including extras) onto 1 4.5 GB DVD. I've downsized the resolution by 50% and I'm still hoping to downmix some of the extras into MONO... it's getting a bit tight...
With a quantizer of 24 and comparable VBR-audio... the quality is far from perfect but still pretty incredible...

Perhaps the right way may well be to drop the resolution to 640x368 (instead of 720x400) and use a 20 quantizer... I like the idea of 1 Disc fits all... though I'm also working on a 2 disc, full resolution (1024x576) version. The complete series is over 10 hours and 34GB... so I guess "H264 is a serious over-achiever".

I've got a few hrs of encoding on the run... so I'll have to check later...
OK... so what you're saying is "BeSweet audio boost, etc is all good... but you can't automate the process into a single job".

I played the .ac3 file in the temp folder and the volume is normal...probably sth wrong with the downmixing? dont' know...

@vgiozo
have you update first to 0.78a and then to 0.78c?

the 0.78a fixes problem with "normalize" fuction (volume boost)

@delacroixp
maybe my english isn't enough, with besweet is impossible to catch audio from files avi/ogm/mkv/mp4
the two only way to grab audio from those file are
1) demux audio: to worry and dangerous, even more tools will be needed
2) processing with directshowsource and feed varius encoder with this audio

if you are able to use besweet with avs (without using fake avi), tell me

Maybe your English isn't so gr8... but I'm seriously clueless about scripts, ogm, etc and while I know demuxing avi is off-the-cards... probably 90% of the people out there are encoding movies from VOB's which have notoriously poor volume and could benefit from something like BeSweet's audio boost.

Dr DivX 2 OSS uses a system of sampling to gauge the necessary audio boost and then implement the change... also good but not quite perfect.

Ok, Thanks for the info...
So if I encode the movie and use quality mode in audio processing, the volume will be normal?
I'll try and report back...

I had encoded another movie which had ac3 6ch audio with 0.78a and the same thing had happened, but did not notice low volume with movies that had ac3 2ch...that's why I thought of sth going "wrong" with the downmixing procedure, but I cannot support this guess...

I 'll reencode and report back...thanks for the great support...

[weaver4]

The problems that I was having with being unable to encode audio and the looping problem seem to be related to an old version of avisynth on my computer. I updated it and it started working. Apperantly 0.76 would work with the version avisynth I had and 0.78 wouldn't.

Sorry....my bad.

[Konstantin_by]

Hello

I tryed to encode with Automkv 0.78c: profile x264 HQ-slowest, mp4, couding tech acc 64 kbits, 704 width resolution. ON version 0.72 all works great. But on 0.78c video doesn't want to encode.
Maybe all that happen becouse use of AviSynth 2.5?

Sorry for my English.

[RipcordAFF]

Hey the program has been runnning fantastic and I loved it under XP but now I am running vista and I have problems. It does the Indexing fine I think, but any step where it opens the cmd window (testing interlace pattern, lets encode etc) It just flashes the cmd, closes it immediatly and moves to the next step. So it never does any actual encoding... any ideas? Thanks!

BTW Ive also tried running it under compatibility mode, still does same thing

[delacroixp]

@delacroixp

Ta and :thanks: for all the fish.

What kind of audio boost does AutoMKV use ?

I'm not averse to a little hands-on and H264 is the forefront of modern movie encoding... so I'm sure you know what's best for the community at large, given the limitations of software.

In next update (full package) i will include ffmpeg.exe for invoking SoundOut fuction. From my test seems more stable and faster then xvid/x264 when calling SoundOut.
I tested even VirtualDub , that's proven even more stable, but is a little slower.
Also using ffmpeg i can force the encoding directly with ffmpeg (in mp3) when both nicaudio / directshowsource / SoundOut fail

BHH[/QUOTE]

yea, that dll was bein loaded when vista tries to render the video for creating thumbnails in explorer. had nothing to do with the workings of AMKV. i tried reencoding the file with vitrual dub to a smaller size xvid .avi and there was a warnign when i loaded the source file

AVI: Opening file "C:\Users\schizosmurf\Videos\Bleach\Bleach19.avi"

[!] AVI: Stream 0 (video) has a non-zero start position of 3 samples (+125
ms). VirtualDub does not currently support a non-zero start time and the
stream will be interpreted as starting from zero.

so maybe the non-zero starting point is the problem and explains why the AMKV error log showed

10:19:20 Number of Frames:
10:19:20 Framerate:
10:19:20 Movie lenght in Seconds: 0
10:19:20 Movie Width:
10:19:20 Movie Height:
10:19:20 !!! BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED !!!

0 frames 0 framerate movie length of 0 width/height of zero, obviously these are all incorrect stats for the source file...

also is ffdshow even needed?

just tried that and same result, seems vdub copied the "non-zero starting point" into the new file. i even tried cutting out the first ~1s hoping it would then create a new starting point in teh new file, but it stills keeps the "non-zero starting point"

I encoded audio with Nero AAC at a constant bitrate of 160kbps
Which setting is that? I still haven't deciphered the steps on the 0-1 quality scale that's used in the settings.

Sounds awesome... does the entire encode need to be in grayscale to truly benefit ?
I'm keen to encode 'The World at War' and 'The Cold War' series both of which are over 20 hrs long and 'mostly' in B&W... but not completely.
Since you were interested, I'm trying the full colorspace vs. greyscale colorspace encode comparison right now. I have the "full color" one done, but the grayscale one is not encoding. I'll have to do it again and pay more attention, post logs, etc before I see if this is going to work.

Does anyone know of a video player for WindowsXP that is more efficient at playing X264 video than VLC media player.

I was having an issue with video freezing up for several seconds at a time or occasionally having high action portions of the screen scrambled, but audio plays normally through during this brief interruption. After looking at my system monitor during these times, I have come to the horrible realization my CPU is not powerful enough to play back some parts of the files I am creating!

The AI (artificial intelligence) of AutoMKV is just way out of control... I feel like I'm reliving 2001: A Space Odyssey... I had to re-encode ½ my initial encodes of BoB because AutoMKV insisted on resizing downto 700x400 instead of 720x400... and 1 of the re-encodes was also faulty.
This occurs during batch aswell as individually. Anyway I finished the series... all muxed, burnt and ready to go at Q24.

Since then I've tried full resolution (1024x576)... but AutoMKV insists on 720x576... this happens whether I choose Original, Auto-crop Only or set the resolution Manually.

Well it looks like it got past the audio coding part (finally). I thought you would want to see the log file for the audio part since it looks like it had lots of problems.

I really do not remember these problems in 0.76, or was I just lucky?

Boy am I am having problems with audio. I tired to do aac audio last night and it just looped and kept tying to do it all night.

Today I tried a mp3 encode and the whole process stopped to ask me if it was OK to clip the audio [y/n].

weaver4... trust me... you're the only one who's doing the really interesting stuff around here.

[buzzqw]

Since then I've tried full resolution (1024x576)... but AutoMKV insists on 720x576... this happens whether I choose Original, Auto-crop Only or set the resolution Manually.

i will check (even i don't know what...)... but remember :logfile:

[delacroixp]

@buzzqw
It looks like there may be room for an improved Batch Interface... I've included an image (from Dr DivX OSS) which would move the 'start encoding button' to the Batch page... allow you to move your encodes up/down the queue... add plugins.... and portray a graphic display of the progress of your encode (See pic... pending approval).


:) :D :eek:
Pascal

The Image is up (see original post)... a new batch layout would go a long way towards mass-production.

[weaver4]

I agree with delacroixp. The interface for Dr.Divx is absolutely great. Too bad the Doctor is:

> Crash Prone
> Only does DivX

[dlflannery]

I tested MKV/X264 and MP4/X264 encodings. BTW I used ffmpeg build 8047 (and the .dll it needs).

Two kinds of (spliced clip) AVS input files:
1. Separate audio-only and video-only files.
2. One video+audio file loaded for both video source and audio track one source.

For the MKV container I had to force 4:3 aspect ratio (but this is not a problem -- rather a feature!)

I tried one with Delay Cut. I suspect that doesn't make any difference for AVS inputs, correct ?

All cases went smoothly with good results.

One feature request: Please add ".avs" to the list of file types in the audio track file browsers.

This looks good! :thanks:

[buzzqw]

@delacroixp

i am very happy. :rolleyes:

iirc the Ati X1 series (like X1300, X1600 ...)
i am not a gamer too... i have an old ATI AIW 9700PRO

I have a ati 9550 passive cooled, no problems with it, rock solid.

Thanks, both of you.

I've done some checking around and have found the lists of cards that support accelerated video decoding for ATI and NVidia. I'll post them here since someone else might find them worthwhile here.

Cards supporting ATI Avivo. (http://ati.amd.com/technology/avivo/products.html)
Cards supporting NVidia Pure Video. (http://www.nvidia.com/page/purevideo_support.html)

I'm going to grab a GeForce 6600GT off eBay here in the next week. I don't want too spend much on this machine as I'd sorta like to replace it in the future and I don't have a PCI Express motherboard. I hope the fan's not too loud.

mediaplayer classic+ffdshow+haali media splitter worked a little better. CPU usage appeared to be about the same but mediaplayer coped by dropping individual frames in the high action areas instead of freezing up completely until the scene passed like VLC. I haven't had a chance to install Zoom Player.

what is this errror?

http://maxupload.com/img/F1AEE0F5.jpg

[nx6]

what is this errror?

That's the audio error a couple of us were getting. Update to the current version of AutoMKV (0.78c) and try again. First you must update from 0.78 to 0.78a.

Download this:
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV078a.rar

unpack it and put "aacgain.exe", "mp3gain.exe", and "VorbisGain.exe" into the \exe\besweet folder. You can throw out the "AutoMKV078a.exe" because you wont need it.

Next download 0.78c here: http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV078c.exe

It's just a new executable, so just throw it into your AutoMKV folder in place of the AutoMKV078.exe you have right now.

Then try again.

This is a bunch of steps so you could also wait for the next all-inclusive release.

I had no problem encoding "Band of Brothers" in "Full Resolution" (ie 1024x576) with Dr DivX... See Dr DivX Image from previous post (below)...


@nx6
I'm compressing the entire 'Band of Brothers' series, with extras onto 1 DVD with maximum quality while maintaining consistency...



I've had problems with DGIndex in the past when trying to create surround sound with Aud-X though only in respect of audio... it converts 5.1 (6 channel) surround to 5.0 (5 channel) surround...(see Manual) which is a problem if you're trying to encode in the full glory of surround sound.
DGIndex (manual)
APPENDIX C: "AC3 5.1" versus "AC3 3/2"

DGIndex reports AC3 5.1 audio as "AC3 3/2" and users sometimes wonder why. The 1 in "5.1" refers to the Low Frequency Effects (LFE) channel.
When 5.1 audio must be played on one or two speakers, the source channels must be "downmixed".

The AC3 specification says that downmixing of the LFE channel is optional. In practice, it is dangerous, because loudspeakers can be overdriven by the full scale low frequency
content of the LFE channel (which is intended for a special speaker called a subwoofer). That's why downmixing of the LFE is almost never implemented.
Encoding 5.1 audio such that it can be played properly on one or two speakers is an art that is seriously complicated by downmixing the LFE channel.

So "3/2" means 5.1 without the LFE (maybe 5.0 would be better terminology, but 3/2 is in common use). Since almost no application downmixes the LFE (including DGIndex),
DGIndex labels the source as "3/2". The LFE is not downmixed because a) it is complex to implement (needs rolloff), b) it is dangerous to downmix it, and c) the LFE is often
avoided anyway by content providers. There are more details in this article.

I really don't want to blame my player, DGIndex or even you... though it would be awesome to arrive at a successfull conclusion... without phoning up President Bush, the Queen of England or Bill Gates for assistance. This may be the only movie or series on the entire planet that wont encode at full resolution but I would still appreciate the help in getting the job done.
I understand that you're merely trying to create a GUI for H264 and that you have to rely on a multitude of 3rd party apps to 'help and assist' that don't allways work well on their own let alone as a team, together in this kind of situation.

have you ever tried to put 1024 in WIDTH ?
i suppose NO (even if with this value the movie will be autocropped).

For the whatever resolution go on advanced setting check "use manual crop" leave 0 all around and put 1024 and 576 in the botton boxes

the problem here is to understand than you cannot take the application and pretend to get always what you want WITHOUT understanding what all setting mean's. And without searching for more information

The full resolution is achivied with correct AR signaling.

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV079a_NORIP.rar without dvdfabdecrypter

0.79 Full Package 19/03/2007
ADDED: If a file named "noneroAacEnc.here" is present in \exe\besweet folder , AutoMKV will not ask to download
ADDED: If SoudOut Fail, AutoMKV will try processing audio with DirectShowSource, if directshowsource fail AutoMKV will encode directly the audio file with FFmpeg in mp3 128CBR format. NOTE: if soundout fail must be present some errors in your audio file
FIXED: Several bugs on audio encode
FIXED: Clip warning (thanks to nx6)
FIXED: When working with queue the Start Encoding button is now disabled (suggestion by Shark_jlc)
FIXED: Audio Loop when working with avs audio file (thanks to dlflannery and weaver4)
FIXED: Aacgain is unable to normalize HE_AAC/SBR files ( done with NeroAACEnc NOT in quality mode). Added an AmplifydB(7) to audio script

Congratulations on the release of AutoMKV 079... almost magic.

have you ever tried to put 1024 in WIDTH ?
i suppose NO (even if with this value the movie will be autocropped).

For the whatever resolution go on advanced setting check "use manual crop" leave 0 all around and put 1024 and 576 in the botton boxes


Done that... did that yesterday... even with Manual Resize (see post)... the width reverts to 720. It's as though HD encoding is not supported.
I did mention that many of my 720x400 encodes came out as 700x400 aswell... which seams part of a much more serious problem.
I would send the .ini job logs but they have already been deleted I think.


the problem here is to understand than you cannot take the application and pretend to get always what you want WITHOUT understanding what all setting mean's. And without searching for more information

I know that AutoMKV is fairly new but surely it's not quite necessary to be a rocket-scientist or software engineer to make it work.
I don't think I was trying anything deep or difficult... no audio tracks, no downsizing... a straight (1024x576) H264 conversion with ConstantQuality-crf...

I don't understand all the settings in AutoMKV and I leave them alone though I am willing to try MkvMagic if I the results were to be more promising.
I'm sure many ppl have encoded successfully into HD... but perhaps not with CQ-crf... maybe the problem's in the CQ-crf.xml profile ???

i noticed its using my 64bit version of the cmd.exe instead of the 32bit version, perhpas thats why it doesnt process whatever commands properly?
instead of runnin thru C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
it goes thru C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe

seems it is running thru 32bit mode, cuz system32 is for 64bit apps and syswow64 is for 32bit apps (wtf microsoft?!)

"64-bit Windows still uses the c:\windows\system32 directory for native applications—oddly enough, this misnamed directory is for 64-bit apps only! So, 32-bit apps trying to read or write to c:\windows\system32 are redirected to c:\windows\SysWOW64 instead. Similarly, only 64-bit apps can use "c:\Program Files"; 32-bit apps are invisibly redirected to "c:\Program Files (x86)"

so now i'm completely clueless as to why its givin false/mising stats for my file

@delacroixp
without log i cannot analyze problems
with my test even working with queue the manual resize settings are always remembered

just a tip: when you check enable manual crop the width is set to 720 and height to 576 ... i hope you have changed these values...

I did mention that many of my 720x400 encodes came out as 700x400 aswell... which seams part of a much more serious problem.
if you set NONE as resizer it will be 720*400, that's is sure (post the log), the same if you set WIDTH to Original

ok, we are on the right way!

this mean that automkv is working well!

first test: open the movie.avs with mediaplayer classic, it is ok audio and video ?

you have selected an VC1 profile, and the encoder fails. This is can be due to your installation of WVC1 encoder

i suggest to try the "quicker" profile, just to test if wmv7/8/9 is ok

once tested (either positive or negative) read on first post the hint about wvc1

its running as 32bit, i was mistken thanks to M$ lovely naming structure of system32 for 64bit and syswow64 for 32bit


The naming syntax actually makes sense somewhat, more from a historic perspective though.

Those may help you out, I dunno. :rolleyes:

@delacroixp
without log i cannot analyze problems

if you set NONE as resizer it will be 720*400, that's is sure (post the log), the same if you set WIDTH to Original

Will do...
I found a (1024x576) BoB 01.mkv encode from last week... looks gr8... will need to be little more focused during encodes.

I tried to modify the <BitrateQuantizer>18</BitrateQuantizer> of ConstantQuality-CRF.xml since I never use 18 but MS Word complains about the change and AutoMKV lists the entire file in only 2 lines (no wrap)...
MS Word - Something about an XSLT conversion...

:) :D :eek:

and now that i've installed WME9, when AutoMKV gets to the step Lets Encode (after Testing Interlace pattern) cmd.exe crashes (regardless of which profile i use). I noticed its running the 64bit version at this step (perhpas why it crashes). the cmd.exe window shows

I uninstaled WME9 and it stopped crashing but still not getting an output file
(on a side note: i tried usin WME9 before and had no luck, hence why i hit up videohelp.com and doom9 for alternatives)

I tried to modify the <BitrateQuantizer>18</BitrateQuantizer> of ConstantQuality-CRF.xml since I never use 18 but MS Word complains about the change and AutoMKV lists the entire file in only 2 lines (no wrap)...
MS Word - Something about an XSLT conversion...

Sorry pal... but why use msword ? notepad/pspad is ok (i use ultraedit)

and (much important) DON'T directly edit the file!!
use the advanced profiles editing, modify the value, AND then check "use this profile" . AutoMKV will use this modified profile

@schizosmurf
yea plays perfectly
again automkv have done a good script

i can suggest to open a thread in http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=54 about Vista and WME/WMCmd.vbs, ask help of Zambelli

That's what I do at the moment... but I'ld rather (modify) change the value to 22 permanently (as a default) and then modify the profile through AutoMKV when needed...


:) :D :eek:

OK... get it... make a new modified profile... call it PascalsConsistantQuality.xml and use that...

yes your right, automkv wrote a perfect .avs, i loaded it into WME9 and it spit out a perfect encode.

now if could just figure out why automkv uses the 64bit cmd.exe when it gets to the encode step when it uses the correct 32bit cmd.exe for the others

[salman1]

what this keep coming every time i encode avi

while the other bat file will lanch simple command line exe (for x264/bautodeint/xvid_encraw...) the wmv bat will lauch the windows shell script interpreter (cscript.exe)
I suppose that cscript.exe (that is bundled with your vista os) that launch WMCmd.vbs (that is the interface to wme ) is for 64bit only...

BHH

EDIT: @salman1 , check your antivirus, and try to lauch mkvmaudio.bat. is it ok ?

I had no problem encoding "Band of Brothers" in "Full Resolution" (ie 1024x576) with Dr DivX... See Dr DivX Image from previous post (below)...

What qualifies 1024 as "full resolution"? The top resolution of DVD is only 720px (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD-Video#Visual_data).
Encoding anything higher than that would only mean the encoder is now having to "make up" additional pixel data, which will not increase quality any more than having the decoder upconvert on playback.

yea, seems its usin the 64bit cscript.exe (\System32\), which therefore calls the 64bit cmd.exe, instead of the 32bit cscript.exe (\SysWOW64\)

it'd be cool if there was some way to make AutoMKV check for C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe and run that one if present and default back to C:\Windows\System32\cscript.exe if not.

Anyways, appreciate all your help. Even though I couldn't get AutoMKV to work for me 100% I am able to get an encode done the way I want with it's help at least. I'll keep an eye on this project in case you get that cscript.exe thing figured out for us 64bit users :P

I'm compressing the entire 'Band of Brothers' series, with extras onto 1 DVD with maximum quality while maintaining consistency...

See Pic (Resolution and Max resize resolution).


You make perfectly good sense and it certainly looks as though you are right... perhaps the (not so clever) Dr is dellusional and lying to us... a sure case of smoke and mirrors... maybe the original DVD was 'padded' since it's sure got 1024x576 pixel resolution (Dimensions)...

What gives... please help... :search:

BTW
I'm doing a 640x360 version of BoB in Q23 which is true 16:9 and nicely scalable on most 1280x1024 PC's... but H262 doesn't seam to like non-multiples of 16 (either width or height).
I can't 'make up my mind' whether I should go with 640x368 or 640x352...

Alright. I'm getting sleepy. Someone else can work on it now. I got to 0.78 (the full package). People more into the nitty-gritty of AutoMKV's details should probably proofread some of what I've done (as converting notes into a more formal changelog isn't easy when I'm not familiar with all the changes listed). The hard part is reducing to the actual essence of the change to the software and not speaking in terms of metaphor or example, while not leaving out too many details about the change.

works right, runs the \syswow64\cscript.exe but it still crashes

i opened \syswow64\cmd.exe and input C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cscript.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Wind

2_16

switching to the WMCmd.vbs in the WME9 folder and leaving only the basic options and STILL cscript.exe crashed...
so apparently the issue with cscript.exe and wmcmd.vbs in Vista that was supposed to be cured by the hotfix http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/929182
still exists

again thanks for all your help. If I find a solution for this i'll report back :)

First, I really like this program. It does a good job, and I love the fact that it works in the background. Now my question: I want to increase the volume of the movies that I’m encoding.

The checkbox for “normalize” doesn’t do enough for my purposes, and I can’t find any other volume settings. Sorry to be dense about this, I realize that since mp3gain.exe, etc. are there that it must be possible, but I don’t see “gain” or “volume” in the Advanced Audio Options. I don’t see anything in the Advanced Settings. The Advanced Profiles Editing seems to be all about the video. I don’t know where else to look or what files to open up.

I’m a newbie, and I barely understand half of this thread, but I’d really appreciate a leg up here. I’ve used other programs to raise the volume, and I’d like to do it with AutoMKV. Perhaps the answer is obvious; I will slap my head and be humbled, but right now I’m lost. Please point me in the right direction.

Do you mean we could only show the changelog from the latest full package (0.79 in this case) through the updates in bulleted form, and then show the previous releases/updates in a more condensed style (just major feature changes, not minor bug fixes) or not at all?

[buzzqw]

@BixMix
automkv ALREADY normalize the audio of film. Is automkv that use mp3gain to "gain/apply" volume to your mp3 track
Isn't needed you intervent

The "gain" is the maximum SECURE value to apply without introduce clipping (sound distrurbed)

The way to apply MORE gain is to DE-CHECK Normalize AND in last option of advanced audio setting, at right of Pith and none, in the blank space write something like Amplifydb(15) this command force an audio gain of 15 decibel, in this way YOU must choose the gain, since in no more automatic

BETTER way is to install ffdshow, and use it as audio decoder AND check VOLUME, in this way the audio gain is transparent and good to hear

i hope to be clear!

Do you mean we could only show the changelog from the latest full package (0.79 in this case) through the updates in bulleted form,
excatly
and then show the previous releases/updates in a more condensed style (just major feature changes, not minor bug fixes) or not at all?
just condensed style, with all minor and major, not bulleted

:thanks: ! you (plurale majestatis... someone speak Latin ???) are doing a very good job

Since H264 recommended encodes with mod 16 dimensions and the guy(s) at DivX recommending padding (see link, Post #6: (http://forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=3532)) I did an experiment...

I did 2 encodes of BoB 02 @ Q23... (640 x 368) and (640 x 360) and the results are quite refreshing.


640 x 368
= 347 661 kb
= 235 520 pixels

size/pixel = (347 661/235 520) = 1.5 kb/pixel

640 x 360
= 347 661 kb
= 230 400 pixels

size/pixel = (347 661/230 400) = 1.5 kb/pixel

There is no difference in efficiency.


However when comparing (720 x 400) @ Q24 and (640 x 360) @ Q23 on a 19inch LCD at fullscreen with particular reference to text in the opening credits ...
(640 x 360) @ Q23 came out a clear winner with superior crispness and clarity... and this despite the fact that the file was 5% smaller...

automkv ALREADY normalize the audio of film. Is automkv that use mp3gain to "gain/apply" volume to your mp3 track

Another method is to run your audio track through BeSweet which will test for the Maximum possible gain... THEN pass this figure to AutoMKV with Amplifydb(xx)...

It's very hands-on and not recommended for the feint-hearted.

Good Luck and have a good one...

Whoever else is working on this seems to be doing it full bulleted like me, so I think I'll just keep following that for now. Maybe we could just lower the text size for all but the current major build + updates.

[weaver4]

I did a long movie using XviD Single pass Constant Quality profile with the bitrate quantizer of 3. The file size came out smaller than I expected. So I did the move twice more with avi.net and autogk and looked at the results with avinaptic and here are the results.

Avi.net
filesize: 1.7G
100% of the frames were DRF 3

AutoGK (Constant Quality 67%)
Filesize 1.75G
99% of the frames were DRF 3
1% of the frames were DRF 2

AutoMKV (ConstantQuality profile, bitrate quantizer of 3)
Filesize 1.1G
36% of the frames were DRF 3
64% of the frames were DRF 4

How can this be, shouldn't AutoMKV have a DRF of 3 for all the frames?

[xmcnuggetx]

I tried to read through the posts about vista I could find in this thread, but didn't seem to find a solution. When running automkv in Vista it seems to work ok at first, but then when running movie_wmv.bat it crashes out. Vista complaining about: Microsoft Console Based Script Host was closed. To help protect your computer Data Execution Prevention has closed Microsoft Console Based Scripting Host. I am unsure why or how to fix it. If I try double clicking the .bat I recieve the same error.

Here is the contents of the movie_wmv.bat:

I've seem to have stumbled upon something else.

I'm trying to re-encode a *.mp4 file (with H.264 video and what I think is mp3 audio).

It starts everything just fine.
But after it encodes the audio track, everything basically just stops. It doesn't continue.

If you want to try it yourself, go to:
http://asfdotcom.net/

Click downloads on the left, then "Bleach" in the right column (should be near the top, 2nd one) then download "Fourth Intro".

Any will do but I know it works with this one. This isn't the exact file I want to re-encode but the same problem happens no matter what.

Thanks :cool:

Awesome job on the Changelog....

Thanks, it still has a ways to go.

"Jeradc" (I assume that's Shark_jlc) and I are discussing the style for the individual bullet points. So some of the entries may have to be rewritten to follow an agreed upon style. Plus, there's still grammar editing for many entries, names of other software packages need to be changed to fit capitalization across the entire document (I've read at least four different ways of writing 'DGIndex' and 'AutoMKV'). Also it might make sense to change the subsection layout. I'd like to see them divided by full releases (ones that are all inclusive and don't require replacing files in an existing install), but it seems those releases happened quite often in AutoMKV's early history.

why can't everything be "Open Source"... there would be no need for copyright... we could live together in harmony... and there would probably be no need for any wars either.

I suppose it's just a fools paradise.

It is. There would no financial incentive to create new content, so the amount of new content would drop way down. This wouldn't mean the end to just stupid marketing-driven drivel like reality TV shows, it would mean lots of genuine content would disappear as well. People who would normally write, draw, sing, ect would be too busy working a regular job to earn a living to be able to focus on their art the way a professional artist would.

I couldn't help but feel a little hypocritical in that post, as most of what is done in this forum is a violation of the DMCA (bypassing DVD encryption to encode the video, ect). But it's done with the idea we are using our own legally purchased DVDs and obtained video files for the purpose of better enjoyment of the content. I'd like to (in the future) build an HTPC and have all by anime DVDs ripped to MKV files on it, so I can pull up any episode VOD-style from a Myth frontend, among other things.

But when someone comes on and points us to a site hosting clearly copyrighted content from a TV network as the source files they're using it attracts too much attention to activities like these.

I don't think you should get too 'hypocritical' on us just yet... It's not like we're encouraging people to "do drugs", "commit murder" or "go to the colliseum and watch till-death duals"...

For all the piracy that AutoMKV creates or tacitlly supports... movie companies, cinemas and video-cam manufacturers

@xmcnuggetx
same problem as schizosmurf

@weaver4

CQ encoding mean that all I and P frames are at constant quantitizer, the B frames are NOT at constant quantitizer other values is taken like Quantitizer ratio and Quantitizer offset

<BQuantRatio>162</BQuantRatio>

The "Quantizer ratio" setting determines how many more times the B-frames should be compressed compared to P-frames (the higher the value, the higher the quantizer setting and therefore the more compressed the frame is).

<BQuantOffset>100</BQuantOffset>
The "Quantizer offset" setting determines the quantizer value to be added to B-frames compared to surrounding P-frames (so a setting of "1.00" would add "1.00" to the quantizer value of the B-frame, again the higher the quantizer, the more compression used).

I want good quality video, I don't care what size it comes out. So I use CQ, but I am about to just start coding 1000kbs for 640 9x5 movies and 1300 for 640 4:3 movies and forget it.

[weaver4]

Buzz,

The picture quality is not nearly as good as those that maintain a constand DRF, like avi.net and autogk.

If what you said is correct why do avi.net, autogk, staxrip, mpg mediator, Dr Divx, and all the other programs do it as a constant dRF regardless of the frame type? Is it possible to change the profile to do this?

What does it all mean...
It certainly looks like a variety of statistical quantizers are being used... all the way from Q10 to Q34... that's tragic !!!

I'm keen to try the <BQuantRatio>100</BQuantRatio> and <BQuantOffset>0</BQuantOffset> settings... but the H264 profiles don't have that command at all and don't even know where best it should go even it does...

I agree with buzz: If you need stand-alone-player capability then you should be using xvid-avi. If you are not concerned about that then you should use x264-mkv or x264-mp4. Unless you have a underpowered system, then stay with xvid-avi.

i have dvd that i want to do 2 cd rip with avi container with audio of 128kbps/s is that possible with this software?

Before you start, make sure you have all the required software installed. You need more than just AutoMKV, you also need AVISynth and XviD at least (see the first post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=854221#post854221) of this thread).

Insert your DVD.
In AutoMKV, select the drive in the upper right, then click "Check DVD Drive"
AutoMKV should select the largest IFO file (which will correspond to the main movie on the DVD).
Set your output location (where the video files should go). Use a hard drive with at least 15GB of free space to handle all the DVD temp files, etc.
Change the container on the right hand side to AVI (it says MKV right now). Codec should change to XVID.
Set encoding profile, remember that higher qulaity profiles will take longer to process.
In the area labeled "Audio Track 1" select your audio track. I recommend you use a 2-ch Stereo track unless you are actually planning on playing the file on a 5.1 channel system.
Change audio format to LAME , STEREO, and quality to 128.
Leave other options on AUTO or however they are set if you don't know what they do.
On Output File/Name Options area change disk setting to "2 CD" this will give you one 1400 MB file, not two 700MB ones. You can also enter a specify a name for the final movie file (you don't need to type the .avi).
Now hit Start Encoding, in the lower right.


DVDFab Decrypter will open and start ripping the DVD to your hard disk. If it gives you an error about the path where it is trying to save the DVD, just change it and then hit start on it's window. A minor hiccup, it will remember next time.

After DVD Decrypter finishes, DGIndex will start and begin processing. You may not see a window telling you what it is doing, as long as your hard disk is churning, it is fine.

Audio will be processed after that.
Then Video (this will take several hours depending on the specs of your computer).
Then the parts will all be put together in the file.
When AutoMKV finishes, on the "Log" tab of AutoMKV it will say "Finished Job" at the bottom of the log.

Now go look in the folder you had defined as the output, and you should see a file with the name you picked.avi.


@buzzqw:
I thought subtitles on AVI required the "burn in" option be used.

Hey the program has been runnning fantastic and I loved it under XP but now I am running vista and I have problems. It does the Indexing fine I think, but any step where it opens the cmd window (testing interlace pattern, lets encode etc) It just flashes the cmd, closes it immediatly and moves to the next step. So it never does any actual encoding... any ideas? Thanks!

BTW Ive also tried running it under compatibility mode, still does same thing



@RipcordAFF
Bautodeint.exe NEED a yv12 decoder installed
Install the Koepi XviD Build (link on first post)





Hey buzzqw, I tried what you said, and it still didnt work. It still flys through the steps and only flashes up the command windows. Any ideas? Thanks

^ i have dvd ripped in my hd drive also i have done d2v file so and the audio. what is input file then?
can i put d2v file as an input or the vob file? or i have to do others than that? thx

I don't know. I told you in PM I'm rather new to most video encoding. I don't use AutoMKV just for video encoding and muxxing, I let it handle everything (except ripping if I'm using an episodic DVD). From your earlier posts I got the idea you were just starting and you had a DVD you wanted to rip to a specific format, not that you had a bunch of stuff already encoded separately.

Edit: You can use the VOB as the input. I'm not sure how to specify a separate audio file for audio input, but I think it can be done, though. Someone else will have to chime in.

FYI I fixed this in Vista by turning off DEP. You can do so by following this article:

tried this and still same, with cscript.exe crashing

Buzz I tried this, installed the WM 9 encoder, along with hotfix, and tried turning off DEP. All nothing. The CMD windows just close as soon as they open. If i really really watch them, they flash an error in the box right before they close, but i dont have enough time to read it....Any help? Thanks!

Alright, AutoMKV is giving me Script Host error messages again. It was working fine it seemed on 0.78b, but something changed between that and the most recent version.

Alright, AutoMKV is giving me Script Host error messages again. It was working fine it seemed on 0.78b, but something changed between that and the most recent version.

Ah, I think I have figured it out. It seems AutoMKV does not like it when the temp folder (with the ripped DVDs in it) is outside its own folder! I had moved it outside since I had installed 0.79a but still had 0.78b, and when I tried to run 0.78b I got errors on it, too. But after moving the temp folder into the 0.79a folder, now a job completed. :)

Very interesting. I wonder if this was the source of some of the issues I was having before when I first started trying to use AutoMKV.

^ i have dvd ripped in my hd drive also i have done d2v file so and the audio. what is input file then?
can i put d2v file as an input or the vob file? or i have to do others than that? thx

I don't know. I told you in PM I'm rather new to most video encoding. I don't use AutoMKV just for video encoding and muxxing, I let it handle everything (except ripping if I'm using an episodic DVD). From your earlier posts I got the idea you were just starting and you had a DVD you wanted to rip to a specific format, not that you had a bunch of stuff already encoded separately.

Edit: You can use the VOB as the input. I'm not sure how to specify a separate audio file for audio input, but I think it can be done, though. Someone else will have to chime in.

You may wont to take your encoding to the next level and mux your tracks manually which will allow you to include any audio or even video (3D Stereoscopic Movies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy) viewed through Shutter Glasses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD_shutter_glasses)) tracks.

Download MKVToolnix (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/) which includes the MkvMerge GUI and browse through the MkvMerge User Guide (http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/mkvmerge-gui.html) (It's pretty much plane sailing after that).

Good Luck and have a good one...

Ironically, MKVToolnix is what I tried before I tried MkvMagic, which what led me to AutoMKV.

I'm just looking for something fairly self contained and automated for now. Once I can get AutoMKV "jumping through hoops" maybe I'll look into it.

I'll assume you're talking to Salman1 since he has all the pieces waiting to be muxxed.

Hey the program has been runnning fantastic and I loved it under XP but now I am running vista and I have problems. It does the Indexing fine I think, but any step where it opens the cmd window (testing interlace pattern, lets encode etc) It just flashes the cmd, closes it immediatly and moves to the next step. So it never does any actual encoding... any ideas? Thanks!

BTW Ive also tried running it under compatibility mode, still does same thing


Any word on this yet Buzz? I love your program, but I cant seem to get it to work at all under vista....any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried all your suggestions (page 69) any some other's suggestions (previous page), nothing worked....thanks man!

Have you any thoughts on Psychovisual Enhancement ?

I don't know whether you ever used the EKG in Dr DivX 1 but basically the idea was to decrease the bitrate in areas the eyes wouldn't notice anyway.

How do you think this impacts on Constant Quality encodes since all is equal ?

Where’s the volume control ?

First, I really like this program. It does a good job, and I love the fact that it works in the background. Now my question: I want to increase the volume of the movies that I’m encoding.

The checkbox for “normalize” doesn’t do enough for my purposes, and I can’t find any other volume settings. Sorry to be dense about this, I realize that since mp3gain.exe, etc. are there that it must be possible, but I don’t see “gain” or “volume” in the Advanced Audio Options. I don’t see anything in the Advanced Settings. The Advanced Profiles Editing seems to be all about the video. I don’t know where else to look or what files to open up.

I’m a newbie, and I barely understand half of this thread, but I’d really appreciate a leg up here. I’ve used other programs to raise the volume, and I’d like to do it with AutoMKV. Perhaps the answer is obvious; I will slap my head and be humbled, but right now I’m lost. Please point me in the right direction.

In the Wiki it shows VBR as one of the pull-downs for Lame. I only seem to have ABR and CBR -- even when I put it on max quality. Why?

Which container are you using for your encodes (PC and/or DVD-standalone, etc...) and why encode into MP3 when AAC MP4 is eminently superior...

BeSweet offers very nice AAC 5.1 or stereo (VBR/CBR) encoding facilities... if you are willing to get your hands dirty...

Well I spoke a little early, I am having the same problem that I remember having on XP, however I dont remember how to fix it. I spent a long time reading back through the previous pages and couldnt find the solution. What happens is it goes through all the steps just fine, and on let's encode, it just goes straight to saving log. And what it spits out is a really small (like 40k) wmv file. I am trying to encode a 1.5 gb vob file.

The fix, if i remember correctly had to do with copying some .dll s into the exe folder, I think maybe the GDindex one, but not sure....Any ideas? Thanks, you are an amazing guy!

I had reported earlier a (very) low volume problem when encoding form AC3 6ch to Nero AAC 2ch...

It seems that the quality or bitrate mode in audio settings has no difference on the result...used both ways and ended up with low volume...

With the AC3 2ch audio to AAC 2ch, the volume is as it should be, so the problem can be attributed to the downmixing process...

The problem was not fixed by the previous or last (most recent) release...
The encodings were made with the 0.79a release...

I don't think I can follow up the issue with DGIndex and the movie has a 16:9 aspect ratio with 1024x576 resolution but that's not the problem.
I've also noticed that when ripping with DVD Decrypter it lists the series as a 720x576 (PAL) 16:9 movie which is clearly illogical...

added!

now when selecting "Original" as WIDTH the RESIZER goes to NONE
The problem is that I can manually set the full resolution of 1024x576 by choosing '...' but I can't set the Resize Filter to NONE... only Original or 'AutoCrop Only' will allow No Resize Filter.

Please Help !

Remember that the maximum width of DVD-video is 720px. Therefore, it is impossible to encode at 1024xanything and not have resizing. If you don't resize, where is the encoder going to get the extra pixels from?

I have a question you can probably answer: Is it possible to encode using Constant Quality-CRF and have the encoder set the quality setting? Like if I set a container size, have the encoder check to see how complex the movie is and then set the quality level to suit the final size? Or am I just describing how regular encoding works now. :D

[weaver4]

Can't I make use the iPod 5.5G and not set a filesize? Everytime I select Don't Care about Filesize it automatically sets me back to ConstantQuality-CRF.

The reason that I am asking is that the ipod 5.5G profile is the profile that should be used to work with the new Apple-TV, but for the apple TV I don't care about filesize because the files will stay resident on my computer. But if I use the Constant Quality-CRF profile the results will not play on the Apple-TV.

OK... all done !!! ... aswell as Anamorphic Widescreen (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anamorphic_widescreen) from Wikipedia where they mention
"It should be noted that the picture is not vertically manipulated in any way—the normal anamorphic process instead uses a horizontally-oriented element to squeeze the width only.".

So it's a bit like using old 'square' film completely and then horizontally stretching it into 2.39:1 or 16:9... rather than using only half the film area...

Aspect Ratios (http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/aspectratios.htm) on Doom9 Guides goes on to say that "When you encode for a PC based format (like DivX) you'll have to first unqueeze the picture and then resize that to your desired resolution (this would correspond to a stream having a 1:1 DAR)." ... since DivX only supports square pixels... and hence the 1024x576...

So far so good...
So I take it AutoMKV will alow me to encode the movie at the Full Resolution of 720x576 and then stretch it out to 1024x576 on playback... is that where the 'Aspect Ratios and Muxing' option comes in... ???

Can I still ask questions... or do I have to read some more... ???

Kind of an out of context question, but while I always use the "highquality-slow" profile for H264 encoding, I see great variations in the speed of encoding, ranging from 6fps to 24fps...
How does that measure with you?

That is with movies encoded at 720x* resolution and not that different in the scene-change speed etc, not a big fan of action movies in general...

(on a Amd64 X2 3800+ NF4 939, 1Gb ddr400 /dual channer computer)
Now running at 7.21fps with 5:25 hours to go for the first pass (wish I could give it a nudge)

[TheRyuu]

Question about a custom matrix.

Using Sharktooth's EQM v2, from what I understand is also EQM AutoGK Sharpmatrix, what will that do to the encode?

I know the best is either None or Auto but I guess I'm just curious.

[Shark_jlc]

[buzzqw]

@delacroixp

Aspect Ratios and Muxing

go to advanced settings and set force muxing ar to 2.35 (only avaiable for mkv or mp4 container)

@weaver4
interesting question...

in x264 you can encode in
1 pass at fixed bitrate
2 pass
1 pass CRF
1 pass QP

so... you want unlimited size, it's is ok... but what profile ?

you can set disk settings to 10000 (yes 10gb) and automkv will compute bitrate (for 1 pass/2 pass)

or in advanced setting set the bitrate (1pass/2pass profile again)

make your choice

@vgiozo
keep me informed (about audio)

highquality-slow
seriusly, try the main profile and look at difference with slow... and take also note of speed...
for me the slow/er profile is to use only to squiz the last bit

@wizboy11
sharp matrix is to be used with high bitrate encoding, when no frames must be "bad".
Using a sharp/low matrix when bitrate isn't adeguate (to low/to high) will cause only more artifact


@Shark_jlc
i don't have understud...
you mean audio track language (and is set to first found) or audio bitrate ?

Has anyone encoded from Sony Superbit DVD's (http://www.sonypictures.com/cthe/superbit/what_is_superbit.html) ???

Apparently (http://www.hifi-writer.com/he/superbit/superbit.htm) they use the same resolution (Dimensions) of regular DVD's but boost the bitrate by sometimes 100%... which gives a better quality movie... something like encoding movies @ Q18 rather than Q22...

Also, audio is improved with the (probably) better DTS sound format.

It should encode beautifully with H264... especially for those guys/girls who can't get hold of HD and 1080HD material.

Works beautifully though I will only C the results in 5 hours... 6 fps with 105,000 frames to go is a bit rough... (perhaps I should experiment with 1 chapter ??).

What is the best Filter to use for "Original" (In my case BoB, a war drama/documentary)... I'm trying MipSmooth(preset=MovieHQ2).
Perhaps AutoMKV could default to a recommended Filter for the "Original" setting.

I noticed "AutoCrop Only" insists on using a Resize Filter... I guess it's impossible to crop in such a way that AR is maintained and Risizing is un-necessary without killing the movie...
A 4:3 movie with black space (Top=2 and Bottom=2) would then be cropped (Left=4 Right=4 Top=2 and Bottom=4)... a bit cumbersome I suppose.
Would (can) H264 still support "Original" with, let's say, 2 lines cropped... without resizing and playing back with the correct AR ???

every film has its filter, removegrain(mode=2), DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=5,mode=3), Convolution3d (preset="movieHQ") and MipSmooth(preset=MovieHQ2) are all very good general pourpose denoise , but only testing will lead you to "perfect filter" for THIS movie

I noticed "AutoCrop Only" insists on using a Resize Filter... I guess it's impossible to crop in such a way that AR is maintained and Risizing is un-necessary without killing the movie...
EXACTLY :) if you want to maintain the AR you need to resize

Would (can) H264 still support "Original" with, let's say, 2 lines cropped... without resizing and playing back with the correct AR ???

this isn't a feature of codec but of container. play with your file and mmg.exe and study the command line. Awesome result could be obtained with correct mkvmerge options

I discoverd an interesting article on CRF vs QP (http://handbrake.m0k.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1607) quantizer encoding.

Posted by jbrjake on Handbrake Forum (Fri, Feb 16 2007)

When you use a constant QP (the default), you compress every frame the same amount, regardless of the content.

When you use a constant rate factor, it varies the QP slightly. When a scene has a lot of action and motion, it will raise the QP (compressing more). This is because your eye will be distracted by everything going on, and won't have time to see the heavier compression. When a frame doesn't have a lot of motion, it will lower the QP, compressing it less. This is because your eye will have more time to look at the image, so you want it to be as much like the source as possible.

If you were a computer, you would look at a CRF encoding and say it was lower quality than the CQP copy. And it would be. But if you're a human being, subjectively, the CRF copy will look better. It least compresses the parts you see the most, and most compresses the parts you see the least.

I hope that's clear. I plan to have a Wiki page about CRF eventually, but I haven't had a chance to put one together yet.


Personally, I always use CRF for single-pass encodes and can think of no reason to ever use CQP.


What do you think ???


The Thread went further on to say that
Posted by jbrjake on Handbrake Forum (Sat Feb 17, 2007 6:50 pm)

If you seriously desire high quality output and you're patient, you can do a 1-pass CRF encode with a high quality level (65-75%), figure out what the bitrate is on it, and then do a 2-pass encode with that as the average bitrate.

See, when you do a CRF or CQP encode, you have no control over the output's size/bitrate. All you control is how heavily compressed each frame is. Once you know the bitrate you need to reach a certain quality level (compression rate factor), a 2-pass in ABR mode set to that bitrate will pack in even more quality.

How wierd is that... I always thought (certainly with QP) that 1-pass CQ gives the best quality for that filesize (all else being equal)... but now a 2-pass can actually increase the quality even further... !!!

Is this for real or what ?

you mean audio track language (and is set to first found) or audio bitrate ?

BHH


the LowQual <> HiQual audio bitrate slider. What does it default to when an IFO is loaded?

[weaver4]

I was talking about the iPod profiles, it does not make sense to me that they are tied to filesize. These devices have a hard drive and the new Apple-TV has a harddrive. They should be like the ConstantQuality-CRF profile where you set the quality and tell it to encode. But if you use the ConstantQuality-CRF profile as it is the content will not play on the ipod or apple tv.

If you set the filesize to 10G and just let the coder figure it out you have no control over filesize/quality.

@Shark_jlc
the LowQual <> HiQual audio bitrate slider. What does it default to when an IFO is loaded?

you can copy the audio source, and so it's true the audio bitrate slider isn't needed, but you can encode the audio track to XXX and so the bitrate is needed again... (but maybe i don't understud well...)

@weaver4

the ipod profile's are 2 pass profile and so it is NOT possible to encode PER QUALITY

or you do a 2 pass encode or you do a 1 pass quality/bitrate encoding

more: the ipod profile aren't compatible with ipod... because of picky player inside... the mp4mux doesn't support the type of muxing needed by this player (ipod)
for compatibility you need to use nicmp4box, for muxing

@delacroixp
go to advanced settings and set force muxing ar to 2.35 (only avaiable for mkv or mp4 container)

@weaver4
interesting question...

@vgiozo
keep me informed (about audio)

@wizboy11
sharp matrix is to be used with high bitrate encoding, when no frames must be "bad".

I tried with the first episode of BoB with Q22 and it came out with a staggering 850 MB... awesome Dr DivX Q3 (equivalent) came out at 1.3 GB... I'm really amazed...

However... the AR was still 4:3 (instead of 16:9)... so I tried a short chapter... also 4:3 and the logs dissapeared.
Finally I did another chp and also ticked the Anamorphic Encoding under "Muxing Options" aswell as the 2.35 Force Muxing AR.

The AR is still 4:3 though I can happily play the clip in Zoom Player by setting the 16:9 Aspect Ratio with perfect results... Media Player Classic and WMPlayer are unable to playback in 16:9...

one more test
copy aacgain from \exe\besweet folder to temp folder
from dos box run "aacgain.exe audio.mp4" (without quotes)
what is the message ?

and post your mkvmaudio.avs

thanks ! :)

Ok, the newly encoded movie in which downmixing from 6 to 2ch was applied, presented equally low volume...

I did what you said above and this is what followed (jpg image)

And here is the mkvaudio.avs

[delacroixp]

I finally encoded the entire Band of Brothers series @ Q23 (640x360) onto 1 DVD with 1 MB to spare... and this from a series that is originally 34 GB and 12 hours long...

This is truly a testament, not only to the power of H264, the simplicity and versatility of AutoMKV, and the sheer genius of Buzzqw... but also the absolute potential of the Constant Quality CRF profile...

See pic pending

open the movie.d2v with a text editor, search fro Aspect_Ratio= xxx

what is written ?

@vgiozo
got the error !! is due to SPACE in your installation folder
you have installed automkv in "C:\Program Files\AutoMKV079a" but the space between program AND files do not permit aacgain to work
First of all thanks for this bug !
Second, fixed in next release
Third, movie automkv079a folder to c:\apps\automkv079a or something similar
Fourth: ok, now that you have normalized the audio click on muxing.bat for re-mux

thanks again!

more: the ipod profile aren't compatible with ipod... because of picky player inside... the mp4mux doesn't support the type of muxing needed by this player (ipod)
for compatibility you need to use nicmp4box, for muxing

Well if I can't use AutoMKV for the iPod I won't buy an iPod. If the iPod profile does not work for the iPod does the Zune profile work for the Zune?

[delacroixp]

You can download VirtualDub here (http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/) ... look for v1.6.17 (stable)

VD is one of the oldest video encoder/manipulator come jack of all trades apps ... written by a varsity student... how kewl is that.

You can find movie.avs in your 'temp' Encoding Output folder... check it out....

Enjoy !!!

@delacroixp

this value is not normal Crop(0,4,720,568)
for a 16:9 film the crop should more , a lot more
i think that this film is 4/3, and then squeezed to 16/9
i can suggest to ask help on general forum

@RipcordAFF
virtualdub: www.virtualdub.org

the movie.avs is in temp folder created by encoding

try this open mediaplayer classic and load the movie.avs, if it is ok you will see your movie and (if wmv encoding) hear audio, if not ok you will see a huge red line. Take note of this error (if present)

moreover the next full update will got the new wmcmd.vbs, that is more stable

@weaver4
yes, zune is ok, ask dlflannery (my main Zune tester)

Havn't tried anything for the MS Zune.

How do I de-activate the double-quote icon (bottom left on every post)... it's orange on one of my posts and everytime I quote... the same stuff is quoted...

np... you have already helped me more than my fair share on this forum to get things working perfectly... my posts are positively drowning out everyone else...
People are soon going to start thinking this is my forum... heaven forbid... a good time to chill...

Band of Brothers was meant to be a TV series... the most expensive ever @ $125 million so that may have something to do with the 4:3...

the movie.avs is in temp folder created by encoding

try this open mediaplayer classic and load the movie.avs, if it is ok you will see your movie and (if wmv encoding) hear audio, if not ok you will see a huge red line. Take note of this error (if present)

moreover the next full update will got the new wmcmd.vbs, that is more stable

Hey Buzz, I tried to open movie.avs w\ virtual dub, here is the error:

"Avisynth open failure:Loadplugin: unable to load "C:\users\reed\desktop\utilities\dvd stuff\automkv\exe\filter\removegrain.dll"
(F:\dvd rips\lost\e12\temp\movie.avs, line 25)


And ideas? Thanks man

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc
you can copy the audio source, and so it's true the audio bitrate slider isn't needed, but you can encode the audio track to XXX and so the bitrate is needed again... (but maybe i don't understud well...)
...

BHH

Let me try again. I set the audio bitrate slider to 128 kbps and save my settings. However, last night I opened AutoMKV, browsed to an IFO, and when the file was loaded by AutoMKV the audio slider changed to 64 Kbps.

So, I was wondering why the slider changed, is 64 the audio bitrate of the ifo/vob file that loaded? Or is it a bug?

Thanks buzzqw.

[vgiozo]

@buzzqw

The problem has not been fixed...I still get low volume, even though I changed the program path of AutoMKV, so that it does not contain any spaces...(c:\Apps)

What else could be at fault here?

I know this doesn't really concern me but why rename it?
It shouldn't matter whether it says Removegrain.dll/Removegrainsse3.dll or w/e it may be.

I thought that, from what I've heard, get used either way.

Edit:
I put Removegrainsse3.dll in the filter folder, deleted the old one and it still worked AFAIK.

Actually, open AutoMKV, change the audio slider to 128, save settings, close AutoMKV.

Re-open AuMKV and the audio slider is at 64.

Encoding a .flv file to .wmv (Zune 1 pass quick profile).

The input is an AVS script:
global video=directShowSource("C:\Video\xmas_lights.flv", audio=false, fps=29.97)
global audio=directShowSource("C:\Video\xmas_lights.flv", video=false, fps=29.97)
audio=DelayAudio(audio, -1.0)
audiodub(video, audio)
Note that the "global" declarations make no difference in the problem to be reported here.

The movie.avs file is:
Import("C:\Video\xmas_lights.avs"), which is just importing my input AVS script. It plays OK in Media Player Classic.

The WME encoder script crashes with an error number after correctly determining the length. Can't read the error number -- it disappears too fast.

The very strange thing is: if I run the movie_wmv.bat file created in the temp folder, it encodes OK!

I can also use this AVS input to get a successful encoding using my own batch files that I had created before I started using AutoMKV.

I've tried this with another AVS source file that I had used before and it doesn't have this problem. :confused: It appears that when AutoMKV runs movie_wmv.bat it causes an error that doesn't happen if the batch file is run outside of AutoMKV. :confused:

[Tobytl]

Hello all, first of all I would just like to say thanks for this great utility, all the work really is appreciated.

That said, I think I may have come across a slightly obscure bug with AutoMKV (or maybe autocrop). There seems to be a slight incompatibility between deinterlacing (or processing film) and autocrop on some occasions. On a few 4:3 movies I have tested there are serious chroma aberrations that seem to stem from autocrop cropping on mod2 offsets instead of mod4 (though the height is mod4). eg: Crop(8,2,708,476).

Bad:6991

Now if I move the tfm().tdecimate() line above all the autocrop stuff (accommodating the movie variable of course) or manually crop on a mod4 offset this doesn't happen. eg: Crop(8,4,708,476)

Good:6992

The easy fix would be to deinterlace before autocropping, or for the end user to manually enter mod4 offsets (easy for me, almost no cropping is needed). The more elegant fix lies somewhere in autocrop.dll though I'm afraid. It's not supposed to pick non mod4 offsets in yv12 ever, but it apparently does sometimes.

If this has all been discussed before, I am very sorry, I just noticed it when watching my futurama rips on my htpc.

[buzzqw]

@vgiozo and ALL

i will solve this problem drastically.
In next update i will reintroduce Normalize() in audio script.
On my pc (p4 2.8 1gb ram) the analysis last 10 minutes before start encoding (on Matrix film), for me is ok.

@wizboy11
you are perfecly right. AutoMKV will load the dll in \exe\filter

@Shark_jlc
on my side is correct... (but maybe i had already fixed it..)

@dlflannery
In next update i will use the new wmcmd.vbs, a lot more reliable, this will solve the "big number" error

@Tobytl
in this rare cause i suggest to use the manual crop and resize in advanced settings

BHH

[delacroixp]

@delacroixp
this value is not normal
for a 16:9 film the crop should more , a lot more
i think that this film is 4/3, and then squeezed to 16/9

Assuming I have an Mpeg-2, 4:3 AR movie @ 720x576...
Is there some way I can tweek the MKV container into muxing the file @ 16:9 DAR... ???

I know that most players would support a 16:9 playback anyway... but an automatically correct playback would be perfect !!!

I love the idea of encoding @ 720x576 and then stretching... rather than stretching to 1024x576 first and then encoding with the huge and unnecessary increase in filesize.

........BHH
I downloaded the latest wmcmd.vbs (3/22/2007) and substituted for the version in 0.79a. It made no difference in the problem.

Did you understand that the movie_wmv.bat (created by AutoMKV) runs OK when launched outside AutoMKV but the exact same batch file has an error when launched by AutoMKV ? One possibility to explain this is that AutoMKV is prematurely terminating the process running the wmcmd.vbs (?). I get .wmv files of varying lengths each time I run this encode in AutoMKV.

btw
The clip starts up in 16:9 (is this correct ?).

***NOTE***
I think there's something wrong with Zoom Player... if I set the AR to Derived (recommended)... BoB produces a 4:3 DAR while Fox has a DAR between 4:3 and 16:9.
With MediaPlayer Classic (v 6.4) set to Keep Aspect Ratio... BoB and Fox play automatically @ 16:9...
How wierd is that !!!

btw2
When encoding BoB on Original do I 'tick' Anamorphic aswell as change "Force Muxing AR" (default is Automatic) ?
Actually both those Muxing boxes could be included into 1 box.

[buzzqw]

@dlflannery

no, isn't this problem. AutoMKV will wait always for end of process.

i seriusly don't know what is happen on your side.

i don't want that something get hooked (directshowsource ould be very picky and nasty..) reboot ?

@delacroixp
this file is MADE WITH AUTOMKV... you will see it when playing with mediaplayer classic... i just set the force mux to 2.35

The clip starts up in 16:9 (is this correct ?).
yes is correct since the sample IS 16/9 but signed in MKV to play at 2.35

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi Buzz,

There does appear to be something "hinky" regarding your "2-35 MKV" sample!

Upon playback in MPC the image appears to be displayed at something like 3.12:1, instead of 2.35:1.

EDIT: This is what I see: -

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/808/whatiseeux5.th.jpg (http://img255.imageshack.us/my.php?image=whatiseeux5.jpg)

Plus, I'm unable to de-mux the AVC stream out of the MKV container and re-mux it into the MP4 container :confused:

[buzzqw]

@SeeMoreDigital

:confused: i just passed --aspect-ratio 1:2.35 to mkvmerge...

donwload this http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/2.35.rar (2.15 mb)

contain: log, script avs, mp4 generated by x264, muxing instruction and encoding instruction

where is the glitch ?

BHH

[SeeMoreDigital]

I've just added a screen-shot (to my previous post) of what I see when playing your 2-35.MKV source in MPC with Haali's Matroska filter...

With regard to de-muxing....

Normally I'm able to use AVI-Mux_GUI to de-mux the AVC stream out of the MKV container (to a .RAW stream - which in reality is an elementary .H264 stream). Then I use YAMB/MP4Box to mux the .H264 stream into .MP4


Cheers mate

......BHH
Apparently this is a case of directShowSource being "very picky and nasty".

I changed the input AVS from:
video=directShowSource("C:\Video\xmas_lights.flv", audio=false, fps=29.97)
audio=directShowSource("C:\Video\xmas_lights.flv", video=false, fps=29.97)
audio=DelayAudio(audio, -1.0)
audiodub(video, audio)
to:
directShowSource("C:\Video\xmas_lights.flv", fps=29.97)
delayAudio(-1.0)
and it encoded OK!

I can only guess that running the movie_wmv.bat from AutoMKV provides a different Windows environment than when you run it outside AutoMKV, and this triggers the quirks of DirectShowSource or DirectX or ..?

Sorry to bother you guys again, but I ran into another problem when I set the Futurama batch to run while I slept. It appears that if you manually set the crop, you don't actually get film decimation (maybe no deinterlacing at all, but haven't tested other methods). It produces this bit of script:
...

last = movie
tfm(d2v="E:\DVD\Futurama\301\temp\movie.d2v").tdecimate()
crop(movie,8,0,-8,-0)
#resizestart

#test4

LanczosResize(704,528)
...

As you can see, it sets the movie variable (the mpeg2source data) to the default variable. Does the film processing/decimating on that default variable (last). Then just crops the original, non film processed/decimated movie variable, and returns it. So the end result is still interlaced (telecined).

You already have Media Player Classic, ffdshow is just a big decoder pack. It also has some adjustment options for picture quality on playback, you can find it here (http://ffdshow.sourceforge.net/tikiwiki/tiki-view_articles.php). I'm not sure where Matroska Splitter is on the web, I got it from installing the Lazy Man's MKV (http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA022257/matroska/) tools.

Hi , I Wonder,

Is AutoMKV full compatible with VISta? I only interested for DVD->WMV.

thanx

@Tobytl
Thanks for this bug !
Fixed in next release

@dalihrp
AutoMKV is compatible with Vista. (i havn't vista but several user reported the compatible)

The next question is WMcmd.vbs compatible with Vista ?

Some user report success, some other not.
The culprit is how wvc1 is installed.

i can only suggest to test

[delacroixp]

Remember that the maximum width of DVD-video is 720px. Therefore, it is impossible to encode at 1024xanything and not have resizing. If you don't resize, where is the encoder going to get the extra pixels from?
Why you asking me...??? For all I know... the extra pixels come from PixieLand !!!

I have a question you can probably answer: Is it possible to encode using Constant Quality-CRF and have the encoder set the quality setting? Like if I set a container size, have the encoder check to see how complex the movie is and then set the quality level to suit the final size? Or am I just describing how regular encoding works now. :D
You're going to have to really tone down your questions a hang of a lot more... this is like "The Weakest Link" stuff... I've got the maturity of a 4 yr old, the IQ to match and I'am also very bad with guessing games... but that sounds pretty much like an HQ 2-pass... where the encoder is judging the necessary quality for the second pass... in a CRF kinda way.

This would, of course, not be possible with ConstantQuality-QP since each Quantizer can only have 1 filesize... so if you choose a filesize in-between 2 Quantizers... you're missing the boat by up to, potentially, 50% (half Qx and half Q(x+1))... meaning, half your movie would have lesser quality than the other half... the ultimate inconsistency.


@buzzqw

IF someone selects "Original" and
IF anamorphic and
IF mkv container

THEN AutoMKV should automatically set the anamorphic muxing

ELSE not 'mkv container' and they'll have to set the DAR manually on the player ???

ELSE not anamorphic... np

ELSE not "original"... np


This should be done automatically by AutoMKV if someone chooses the "Original" Resolution option !!!

automkv will judge the width/height based on quality and disk settings (on autoresize)

one more way if to select crf profile and HIT Media Size, in that case automkv will try to "guess" the crf needed to fit media and if fail will switch to 2 pass encoding (actually just one more pass, since crf encoding is the first pass)

BHH

[delacroixp]

I'm re-encoding "Band of Brothers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Band_of_Brothers)" @ full resolution & Q22... it's marginally too big... and I'm on a budget... 2 DVD's...

Well, there are 10 episodes each with the same Intro & Credits...
I'm not one to "torch" the intro's and stuff but perhaps I could slice them all out and keep 1 Intro & Credit... linked into an xml menu... which would then play for each episode.

The episodes are only 1 hour long so that they (the I's & C's) actually add up to a whopping 9% of each episode... which is 900MB over 2 DVD's and which are unnecessary anyway.
It's not as totally straight-forward as that since the intro isn't always completely at the beginning... in half the episodes, the interview starts first.

What can I use to slice up the VOB's since AutoMKV doesn't have that pre-encoding option like Virtual Dub and others... ?
I'm also considering a HQ 2-pass aswell since I'm getting a good idea of the 'proportional' size of each episode with the 1-pass CQ-CRF encodes... and I gather a good 2-pass can even further increase the quality.

[xmcnuggetx]

I have started trying to convert Lost Episodes from my DVDs to a Zune compatible format. I am not concerned much with size or time. I really want the quality to be nice. I am trying to use Zune_1_Pass_Slow or Zune_2_Pass_Slow and both are giving me horizontal lines. I have tried setting deinterlacer to auto and none, both result in the lines. I have attached an image as well as the log.

[Shark_jlc]

I have a ripped movie that I want to make into a .wmv (which I've done a few of so far) but on this one, AutoMKV finishes with it in 6 minutes. It should take about.... 12 hours.

Any ideas where I should start looking to get this taken care of?

Actually, I get the following error:

There is no error, it calculates the length incorrectly:

I should have picked up on this error myself though my H264 command line syntax is a bit poor...
I used to be a Tutor at UCT (http://www.uct.ac.za/) to the first year Pascal (http://www.powells.com/cgi-bin/biblio?inkey=4-0393954455-1) students...

Syntax errors are deadly and totally unforgiving... though Pascal was quite student-friendly...
In your case it looks like you've deleted the "<" in <BitrateQuantizer>18</BitrateQuantizer>

Replace it and you're well on the road to script and profile modding...


:) :D :eek:

I'm playing around with exactly how much the quality/file size changes with the Quantizer, yes. I'm not making permanent changes to the profile, though.

How come the width changes to 720px with the ConstantQuality profile? Shouldn't it be AUTO or Original?

Good lord. If that what was causing this the whole time I feel really stupid. I've had this happen a couple times before and I never knew why.

[buzzqw]

good point, should be original, thanks!

i'm not making permanent changes to the profile, though.

sorry if i seemed harsh.. don't want ! i can only suggest to duplicate the profile, while leaving intect the orginal, and so working on duplicate :)

BHH

P.S. btw... in next release you will welcome in "thanks" section of license.txt. One of the few that have answered on questions of other forummers ! thanks!

[nx6]

I have a request. In advanced audio settings, can we have the values retained until AutoMKV is restarted? Right now if I go in an make changes like setting a title for the muxxed file or adding "Director's commentary" to an audio track name, I hit save and the window closes, but if I reopen it everything gets reset back.

[dlflannery]

If you are encoding DVD (or VOB, MPEG2) to WMV and haven't tried "Film" in the deinterlacer setting, do so. (Try auto first.)

If you have gspot or dgindex and know how to use them you can check to see if the the video is telecined (film) but just trying the setting in AutoMKV may be as quick and easy.

I can also recommend VideoReDo (http://www.videoredo.com)for cleaning up the .vob files (and it will join them for you). You can free-trial it uncrippled -- just download, install, and ask for the free trial key.

[BixMix]

@BixMix


The way to apply MORE gain is to DE-CHECK Normalize AND in last option of advanced audio setting, at right of Pith and none, in the blank space write something like Amplifydb(15) this command force an audio gain of 15 decibel, in this way YOU must choose the gain, since in no more automatic

BHH

I did what you suggested. Either I misunderstood or I found a bug because it never got louder. After trying a couple of times, I made it 25 decibel (wondering if I just couldn't hear a difference or something). Here's the log; I think it still is "normalizing" the volume even though I unchecked the box.

Interestingly, this music video doesn't need to be any louder. However the movie from the same DVD (same rip by DVDFab) is quiet. I need to find time to do more research on why...

Thank you for your continuing help.

[Shark_jlc]

If you are encoding DVD (or VOB, MPEG2) to WMV and haven't tried "Film" in the deinterlacer setting, do so. (Try auto first.)

...

It's always on auto, and that hasn't worked for this particular movie, neither did setting it to film. Thanks though :/

[buzzqw]

@nx6
as you know i reset all advanced setting every time the window is open. BUT automkv remember the settings till next reopen of advanced audio settings.
About memorizing this settings (even with save settings) could cause user to "apply without remember" same settings.

i prefer to let it be set every time

@dlflannery
well said

@BixMix
wmv encoding. this is the key!
advanced audio settings aren't applied to wmv encoding.
Audio will ne normalized in wmv from next version!

@Shark_jlc
what is reported by deint.log ?

Hi buzzqw

is there any chance of getting the subtitle track 1 and subtitle track 2 drop down boxes to display something instead of NONE when using external subtitles. Maybe something like "Using External Subtitles".

Also do you plan to add any support for forced subtitles?

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc
what is reported by deint.log ?
BHH

Here is the deint.log file when the AutoMKV deinterlacer dropdown is set to Auto.

[buzzqw]

@AMED
i will look... but not now.. and not so easy... since the external subtitle are not exclusive of one selected

about cc, have you at hand the link on vsrip and cc? (or i will search myself)

@Shark_jlc

thanks, wait for approval

@ALL
in next update i will introduce ffmpeg.exe as encoder
till now i have added support (limited) for flv, rv10, mpeg2video, msmpeg4v2.
I tryed even snow... but i miss surely something

any other codec to add ?

Yesterday I attempted to rip my copy of O Brother Where Art Thou using only AutoMKV. I typically rip the discs myself using either DVD Fab Decrypter or RipIt4Me, but I decided to give AutoMKV a shot.

So, I loaded it into my DVD drive (an external Plextor PX-712UF drive), selected the drive from the drop-down, hit the check DVD drive button, it selected the right PGC, and I set my settings and hit Go.

Unfortunately, the rip process never completed. DVD Fab Express loaded, and the process was going, but it was running extremely slowly. Watching the process in Process Explorer showed it was using basically 0% CPU time (it was "blipping" up to 1-2% every so often, but generally was at 0%), but the I/O chart was very interesting -- It was "spiking" up and down regularly like a EKG readout. I checked, and the file sizes in the output directory were slowly climbing, so it was doing something. At first, I thought the process was stalled because it was progressing so slowly...

Either way, I was curious, so I let the process run overnight. After running for over 16 hours solid, it was still only about 2/3 completed. I killed the task this morning because I was tired of waiting.

So today I ran the same disc, in the same drive, on the same machine through DVD Fab Decrypter (the current freebie version) on it's own and it completed in about 25 minutes.

Not sure what's going on here, but something was screwy. The logs were unfortunately completely empty on disk, so I don't have much to show other than that. I'm happy to run the test again if you show me what I can post that'll help!

Any chance we can get DV?

[buzzqw]

@glynor

about ripping:
I loaded it into my DVD drive
good
selected the drive from the drop-down
good
hit the check DVD drive button
good

it selected the right PGC, and I set my settings and hit Go.
bad
why bad?
after ripping i select directly the main movie BUT if you select the pgc (and check USE this pgc or use this ifo) automkv will parse all those vobs and extract only the pgc you select.
The pgc fuction is to use with episodic dvd not in main movie selection


Any chance we can get DV?
just to specify: take an "file" and encode TO DV ?
if so.. i must check ffmpeg if dv is supported in encoding, no problem to add

Nope... Sorry. I think you misread my comment (or I mis-represented what I had done). I said IT picked the correct PGC, not that I did. I had Process this PGC and Process this IFO unchecked.

Just to note... I've now re-tried the operation with the same computer and same disc and same settings and it appears to be working properly. Not sure what's going on now!! :confused:

EDIT: Actually... Interesting results.

As I mentioned, I ripped the DVD myself using DVD Fab Decrypter and then I encoded it to a x264 MKV. Worked perfectly. Then, immediately and without closing/reopening AutoMKV, I attempted to re-rip the disc using AutoMKV. I kept all the settings the same as what I had just used, but selected my drive from the dropdown and hit "Check DVD". It properly selected the F:\Video_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO, I changed the "output file name", and I hit go. Interestingly, even though it is a CSS protected DVD, AutoMKV didn't actually launch DVD Fab Express but proceeded directly into the Dgindex step. I manually "restored" the Dgindex window and (unsurprisingly) the video display window was black.

I was fairly sure something was going wrong so I Killed the AutoMKV process tree, deleted the orphaned temp directory, and started over. After "launching fresh", AutoMKV properly launched DVD Fab Express and is currently properly decrypting the disc. So... That was pretty odd!


just to specify: take an "file" and encode TO DV ?

Yes. That's exactly what I mean. I wouldn't use it often, but it can come in handy sometimes for converting to weird formats that can't be handled by my favorite converter... AutoMKV of course!

[PlayWithFire]

i almost gone AutoMKV working for converting MKV to WMV. There's just one problem: there's no sound.
Can anyone help me?

[nx6]

...AutoMKV didn't actually launch DVD Fab Express but proceeded directly into the Dgindex step. I manually "restored" the Dgindex window and (unsurprisingly) the video display window was black...

DGIndex's window is always black for me. I can tell if its running or not because on a running DGIndex:

The window title wont be just "DGIndex" but "DGIndex - VOB 1_1..." something about the file its processing.
There will be a minimized, inactive window in the lower left corner of the screen (minimized to a small title bar, not to the taskbar). The tile of this window is "Information" and it is not possible to restore this window I find.
The hard drive will be churning.


Were any of these symptoms occurring?

I don't mean to be insulting, but you did remember to select audio tracks, right?
Can you post the log file?

[PlayWithFire]

no, you are not insulting at all
but yes, i did select an audio track.
i should elaborate a little bit. Some sound does come thought, but mostly background noise. It's really strange.

i will post my log file when i get home tonight

Did you choose a 5.1 channel audio track as your source but a 2 channel audio format? Sometimes I have weird effects with the loudness of vocals in relation to background noise when playing a 5.1 channel audio track over a two channel system.

Use the "code" tags when you post the log, if you attach a text file we'll have to wait for it to be approved, and if you just paste without the tags the word wrap will make it harder to read.

There's something goofy going on in the highlighted area, but I don't know what.

[buzzqw]

audio = DirectShowSource("D:\Video\TV\Lost\Lost.S03E13.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU.mkv",fps=23.976044,convertfps = true,video=false)

seems that DirectShowSource is unable to access your file,

create an avs script with written only
DirectShowSource("D:\Video\TV\Lost\Lost.S03E13.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU.mkv",fps=23.976044,convertfps = true,video=false)
and open with media player classic, are you able to hear sound ?

@nx6

In programming... there is no room for "syntax" errors...
I'm dying to see how your 'grayscale' encode pans out... it's pretty exciting...

You don't perhaps know how to use "single channel mono (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=113811&page=66)"... I tried to downmix... (in BeSweet/Belight) but the new file is larger than the stereo-only... it still seams to be creating 2 channels, rather than one... albeit 'mono channels'...

Try a 100 MB clip first... perhaps you can rip just one chapter.


I've been trying some seriously HQ 2-pass encodes since I now know how large (proportionally) each episode of BoB should be... I used the first chapter from the first episode which still turned out to be 400 MB...

Anyway I tried the "HighQuality-Insane" profile set to the same filesize as the 22-CQ-CRF encode... I normally got 6fps... now I got 2fps (x2 - for the 2nd pass)... so it took six-times longer... Funny enough... there was no significant difference in quality though I will have a closer look later...
I usually look for differences in small text in the intro... especially the 'diagonal leg' of the capital 'R'... maybe even in red... but I could see nothing.

For maximum quality... what kind of profile/filters/settings do you recommend ??? I'm looking for Q20-CRF quality on a Q22-CRF budget...



:) :D :eek:

[delacroixp]

If I save my "Original" settings AutoMKV restarts with the Resize Filter option set to "SimpleResize(neutral soft)" instead of NONE.

Perhaps
IF someone chooses the 'AutoCrop Only' option... THEN

IF using MKV container... THEN
no resizing takes place and muxing switches are automatically set.

ELSE resize accordingly.

You mean the greyscale encode? :D

No, I do actually. I just forgot to set it on the audio settings when I did the "normal" encoding so I was purposefully leaving it on stereo with this grayscale attempt as well for consistency (since I would be comparing the final movie sizes).

Since the size of the "color" one was 1.66GB (@CRF:18), I know the final encoding I do when I finish playing around will be at a lower quality setting anyway, I can downmix it on that one. But I'll just use the default CRF profile for now (to avoid anymore hiccups like accidentally deleting brackets). :D

UPDATE !!! 0.80

new full package

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV080_NORIP.rar (12 mb)
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV080.rar (12.5 mb)

0.80 Full Package 29/03/2007
ADDED: MediaInfo. AutoMKV will use it as last resort to analyse input file
ADDED: New WMCmd.vbs. More stable and robust
ADDED: In Log file the AR reported by DgIndex
ADDED: WMV WVC1 preset based on Zambelli post http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=123812 , these preset are 2 pass encoding (Preset_Fast_WVC1.xml, Preset_Good_WVC1.xml, Preset_Better_WVC1.xml, Preset_Best_WVC1.xml, Prest_Insane_WVC1.xml)
ADDED: Normalize() to audio avs file. On my pc (p4 2.8ghz 1gb ram) took 10 minutes to analyze film like Matrix before start encoding, wait and go to drink a tea.
ADDED: FFmpeg.exe as encoder. If xvid_encraw/x264/wmcmd isn't able to process input file (not on dvd input) ffmpeg will try to encode to desidered codec/container/width (not autocrop sorry...). Manual crop will be parsed and applyed
ADDED: Multi Encoder!. If a file named "flv" or "msmpeg4v2" or "mpeg2video" or "rv10" is present in automkv folder then automkv will be force to used ffmpeg.exe to these format. (not woriking on dvd or avs input)
ADDED: VirtualDub (1.7.1) as launcher of SoundOut plugin. More support to "strange" avs audio file
FIXED: MP4 was recognized as AUDIO. Now is Video
FIXED: XviD_CQ profile is now a true CQ. BQuantRatio is set to 1 (suggestion by weaver4)
FIXED: In X264 the -ref was applyed two times (thanks to Demeragon)
FIXED: New Audio setting for WMV (more compatible with new WMCmd.vbs)
FIXED: AACgain doesn't work for installation path with space (like c:\program files\automkv\... ) (thanks to vgiozo)
FIXED: Some tuning to audio downmixing when using WMV
FIXED: Moved Force Mux AR to Muxing Options and Anamorphic Encoding to Aspect Ratio Options (suggestion by delacroixp)
FIXED: Some layout change to Log file
FIXED: Substituted RemoveGrain.dll to RemoveGrainS.dll (fix Athlon issue). If you have a more powerfull CPU delete this file and from http://home.arcor.de/kassandro/RemoveGrain/RemoveGrain.rar take the DLL version your CPU supports (RemoveGrainSSE2.dll or RemoveGrainSSE3.dll). Same job with RepairSSE2.dll or RepairSSE3.dll
FIXED: Some tuning to WMV bitrate calculator
FIXED: If profile is CRF or CQ, and user select Go Unlimited Size, the width is now set to "Original" (suggestion by nx6)
UPDATE: NicAudio to 2.0.0.2, DgIndex to 1.4.7 beta 17, X264 v635, ffmpeg.exe v8435

NOTE: i tryed to add support with ffmpeg to encode in DV and SNOW but without success. There are 2 sample encoding command line: where is the error ?

DV: ffmpeg.exe -i movie.avi -vcodec dvvideo -target dv -b 3000000 -cropleft 2 -croptop 72 -cropright 2 -cropbottom 72 -s 640x352 -r 25.000 -acodec pcm_u16le -ac 2 -ar 48000 test_dv.avi

SNOW: ffmpeg.exe -i movie.avi -vcodec snow -b 200000 -pass 1 -r 25.000 -acodec mp3 -ac 2 -ab -ar 44100 test_snow.snow

@delacroixp

try with "spresso" filter or the Kiss method (keep it simple/stupid) "Deen().Undot()"

@PlayWithFire
do proprierties of file, is 5.1 ? (and try this update!)

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

Awesome Buzzqw, I look forward to trying this out tonight!

[PlayWithFire]

@buzzqw, AWESOME!

i'll try the update tonight, thanks a lot!
(I think i might need to explore where that PayPal button goes :p )

[DarkZell666]

@buzzqw:

I see one error with the snow command-line:
-ab needs a value (and there isn't any specified).
ex: -ab 128000 (for 128kbps).

I'm not sure about the absence of -ab for the DV command-line though, it may be a predetermined value due to the use of the "pcm_u16le" audio codec.

[buzzqw]

i'm not sure about the absence of -ab for the DV command-line though, it may be a predetermined value due to the use of the "pcm_u16le" audio codec.

without the value it will use the 1536 (iirc)

Any help is appreciated. I will try again tonight with .80, but nothing jumped out at me in the change log as helping with this specific issue.

[glynor]

Two things I found with this build (0.80), one very small and one big.

1) The first time you use this, VirtualDub will give you a warning that you have to click through and until you do it pauses all execution. This warning is minimized though so if you wander off you might not ever see it. No huge deal, but just be aware.

2) When I'm ripping from an episodic VOB/IFO on my hard drive (ripped from DVD using DVD Fab Decrypter), and I've selected a second audio track, and I encode directly (by clicking the "Start Encoding" button) everything goes smoothly. However, if I add the job to the Queue, the second audio track gets forgotten somehow and does not get processed. I discovered this today with 0.79a and tried it again with 0.80 and no change. I have no idea if this only applies to jobs similar to the one I'm processing, or if it applies to all jobs sent to the Queue (I've only tried the one type so far). Either way, with five or six different jobs I've tried the second audio track is not getting done for jobs sent to the Queue.

Also... A couple of little questions:

I'm not real clear on when we have to check the new Process this PGC/IFO options vs. when we don't. The select PGC combobox is always active on the Basic Settings tab and always seems to list all of the titles when I select a IFO file as the Input. If I'm ripping an Episodic DVD, and I don't check the Process this PGC/IFO options, but I choose one of the titles from the Select PGC combobox, what happens? Is my selection in the combobox ignored (and if so, why isn't the combobox greyed out)? Something else?

My other question is more of a request. I realize you generally dislike working on the Queued Jobs section of the application, buzzqw. However, it'd be really keen if we could get two things:

a) In the Queued Job listing tab, can you move the Movie Name field over to the far left of the window (just to the right of the Input File field maybe)? When I'm trying to see what jobs I've queued, the Movie Name field is generally the most important one, and it's way over to the right where I can't see it. Alternatively, if we could re-order those ourselves (and have it "stick") that'd be swell.

b) It'd be super-keen if we could re-order the job list. I realize this might be some serious work though... But keep it in mind. Quite often if I decide that one job is more important than others, I have to delete all of the jobs in order to move one up a few "steps". I imagine I could also do it by closing AutoMKV and then manually re-numbering the queue#.ini files, but I've never tried (and that's certainly less than intuitive).

Oh, and thanks a lot for trying on the DV encoding. Sorry that I can't be any help with the command line though! I'm no FFMPEG ninja...

[buzzqw]

@Shark_jlc

the script miss the audio=XXXX (must be just after movie= )
what audio tracks have you selected ???

@glynor

The select PGC combobox is always active on the Basic
in dvd mode (main film only), without checking use this pcg and process this ifo is used only for determine the pgc of subtitle extraction

Process this ifo: is to check before selectin the ifo (on already ripped dvd).
Normaly automkv even if you point to a specific ifo will select the BIGGEST ifo, and so the vobs belonging to this ifo will be processed.

BUT if you check (before manual selecting the ifo) Use this IFO automkv will process only the vobs belonging to this SPECIFIC IFO. (example you select Video_TS.ifo... then only Video_TS_0X.vob will be processed)

The Use this PCG is to use with dvd that contain only one pgc (one set of vobs) BUT this vobs contain multiple episodes.
So you select the ifo (before have checked use this ifo), AND then CHECK USE THIS PGC, go in main tab and select from combo list the PGC (episode) to process.
After the FULL film is ripped (if needed) autoMKV will SCAN all this vobs and will create a NEW VOB that contain ONLY this PGC and then will work on this vob

I hope to be clear! (someone will copy this to the wiki... ?)

about missing audio: thanks.. i will look at this!

about queue... :scared: ... i will try ... but as you well understud i don't like working on it too much...

[Shark_jlc]

@Shark_jlc

the script miss the audio=XXXX (must be just after movie= )
what audio tracks have you selected ???

...
BHH

The only thing in the drop down typically, as I try to rip the dvd's with only the audio track I want to use. I can verify tonight though.

[glynor]

VirtualDub has been crashing on me when trying to convert the audio track (track 1) in a conversion to NeroAAC for me (two different occasions with two different "episodes" from the same DVD rip). I haven't completed the encode yet (the last time I killed it after VirtualDub crashed), but it looks like it might still be working...

Here's the relevant details of the encode from the log:

14:12:55 Track Language 1: English (AC3 2ch, 0xBD 0x80) [0,1,2,3,4,5,6]
14:12:55 Audio Codec 1: Nero AAC
14:12:55 Audio Quality 1: 0.50
14:12:55 Audio Channel 1: Stereo
14:12:55 Advanced Audio Settings DUMP Track 1
14:12:55 Nero Option Profiles: AUTO --- Encoding Mode: Quality
14:12:55 CCT Option Profiles: AUTO --- Channel Options: AUTO

Nothing really appears to be showing up in the log related to the crash though, and the VirtualDub error message didn't really provide much info (other than that VirtualDub had crashed)... What else can I post to help?

EDIT: Here's the mkvaudio.bat and mkvaudio.avs from this run: http://www.geocities.com/ri0n/automkv/vdub_audio_crash.zip

[nx6]

i have no idea, how do i find out?

If you're playing the file in VLC Media Player, go to View->Stream and Media Info, then click on the "Advanced information" tab.

If you're playing the file in Media Player Classic with ffdshow, go to File->Properties and click on the "Details" tab.

[buzzqw]

the crash happen early or while encoding ?

i have (again) encode audio track of matrix with your script and vdub don't blame...

please try change (inside mkvmaudio.bat)
"C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\BeSweet\vdub.exe" /x "C:\video\projects\temp\mkvmaudio.avs" to

"C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\BeSweet\ffmpeg.exe" -y -t 1 -i "C:\video\projects\temp\mkvmaudio.avs" "C:\video\projects\temp\junk.wav"

and relaunch mkvmaudio.bat, but i supposce could be "damaged" your ac3 file (bad rip ?)

BHH

[glynor]

the crash happen early or while encoding ?


I believe right as the encode was finishing. The encode where VirtualDub crashed (that caused me to post before) actually just finished all the way, and the audio appears to work perfectly (for both tracks). I can't hear any problems with it at all.

The only real issue then is that the error message VDub threw up blocked AutoMKV from completing until I clicked "OK".


please try change (inside mkvmaudio.bat)
"C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\BeSweet\vdub.exe" /x "C:\video\projects\temp\mkvmaudio.avs" to

"C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\exe\BeSweet\ffmpeg.exe" -y -t 1 -i "C:\video\projects\temp\mkvmaudio.avs" "C:\video\projects\temp\junk.wav"

and relaunch mkvmaudio.bat, but i supposce could be "damaged" your ac3 file (bad rip ?)


Since the encode worked, I'd guess the AC3 file was okay (though maybe it has a small error in it near the end). I'm actually testing re-encoding the same file right now and I'll watch to see when the error comes up. Interestingly, in the progress dialog that comes up, it lists:

Source Position: [00.12:55] of [00:00:05] Speed 10.74 x Realtime

Which appears that it doesn't have an accurate total length.

Okay... My test re-encode just finished. The error comes up after VirtualDub is completely finished converting (and after the 5 second auto-close countdown on the progress dialog finishes). The error lists the crash details as:

An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'SoundOut'...
...reading address 00000004.

I also have a "crashinfo.txt" file generated by VDub that I can post if you need it.

I'm trying it right now with the modified BAT file...

Dum...dee...dum... :)

No error that time. Don't know if that helps though. The junk.wav file it generated is tiny (188 kb) and doesn't appear to contain any actual sound. Do you need anything posted further?

[delacroixp]

You've surpassed yourself yet again... surely another miracle of software engineering...
I will certainly download 080 tonight and try it out sometime next week...
LoL... Just kidding...


@delacroixp
try with "spresso" filter or the Kiss method (keep it simple/stupid) "Deen().Undot()"

@PlayWithFire
do proprierties of file, is 5.1 ? (and try this update!)


I read In (http://www.amazon.com/Search-Excellence-Lessons-Americas-Companies/dp/0446385077) search (http://www.businessballs.com/tompetersinsearchofexcellence.htm) of (http://www.mckinsey.com/ideas/books/insearchofexcellence.asp) Excellence (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Search_of_Excellence) while doing Business Science at varsity... one of their main themes was "kiss" and "if not broke why fix it".

In the quest for perfection rather than simplicity I will definitely give SPresso a go... your version doesn't seam to have any variations ???
Most of your filters have a couple of different flavours...


:):D:eek:

[dlflannery]

.... The first time you use this, VirtualDub will give you a warning that you have to click through and until you do it pauses all execution. This warning is minimized though so if you wander off you might not ever see it. No huge deal, but just be aware........
Same experience for me ... I never saw any message -- finally just closed the command window Vdub was running in. Then it went on OK. Didn't happen again on the second try.

[Shark_jlc]

3 things:

1) I have the exact same issue with .80 as I did with .79a (see my post above), I had 2 options in my audio drop down ("English (AC3 2ch, 0xBD 0x81)[0]" and "English AC3 2ch, 0xBD 0x82)[0]"), and I chose the first one. The length by the encoder was still determined to be 10 seconds.

Virtualdub did give me a different error this time though when I tried to open movie.avs:

Avisynth open failure:

in the same directory as the original d2v file.

2) Secondly, here is a command that gets executed before the encoding:

"C:\Program Files\AutoMKV080\exe\encoder\BAutoDeint.exe" --input "D:\temp\createautodeintmovie.avs" 1>"D:\temp\"deint.log


I think the quotes are in the wrong spot at the very end, I'm guessing it should be:

"C:\Program Files\AutoMKV080\exe\encoder\BAutoDeint.exe" --input "D:\temp\createautodeintmovie.avs" 1>"D:\temp\deint.log"


3) Lastly, this message is duplicated in the log. I noticed this on .79a as well, so this is not a new "feature":

20:40:09 Processing completed. Type is determined to be partly film.

......NOTE: i tryed to add support with ffmpeg to encode in DV and SNOW but without success. There are 2 sample encoding command line: where is the error ?

DV: ffmpeg.exe -i movie.avi -vcodec dvvideo -target dv -b 3000000 -cropleft 2 -croptop 72 -cropright 2 -cropbottom 72 -s 640x352 -r 25.000 -acodec pcm_u16le -ac 2 -ar 48000 test_dv.avi
..............
BHH
Buzz, I did some experimenting with this. If you try just:

ffmpeg -i myVideo.avi -target dv myVideo.dv it will work.
This produces a 720x480 file with yuv411p color.

Then you can try adding in the crops, fps, etc. What I found was:

1. You can only get a 720x480 output (or 720x576 if you use -target pal-dv). Looking at DV specs in wikipedia this makes sense because the formats are:

720x480, 4:1:1 (NTSC)
720x576, 4:2:0 (PAL)

However I found the color was still yuv411p even if I specified pal-dv.

If you use -s to specify any other size it throws an error.

2. Your crops and pads cannot change the image size. In other words the sum of top/bottom crops must equal the sum of top/bottom pads, and the same for left/right crop/pads. It appears crops and pads apply to the output format only, even if you put them before the input file name.

3. you can only get pcm_s16le audio. If you try to specify pcm_u16le it will not encode.

4. Frame rates are only 25 for pal and 29.97 for ntsc and do not need to be specified. If you specify the wrong frame rate it is an error.

5. aspect ratio can be specified but I can't see that it makes any difference in the encoded file.

6. video bitrate (-b) is meaningless and is ignored. The rate is determined by ffmpeg based on the other parameters.

7. I had to use the .dv extension on my output files in order for vlc player or quicktime player to recognize and play them.

8. You don't need the -vcodec option if target = dv.

I thought maybe if you did not specify the target ("dv") ffmpeg might let you set the other parameters to other values but I never found any combination that it would accept.

I couldn't get wmv files to encode to DV. Complained of audio sync errors.

Here is an example of the output from ffmpeg:
Input #0, avi, from 'myVideo.avi':

Hope this helps you. DV files are so huge! When are they needed?

@glynor
thanks for your test!
seems that soundout could have some problem... on some audio source. I think that those audio track have some problem...

about junk.wav... yes is junk.. could you mail me the crash report ? just to point to Sh0dan
thanks again!

@delacroixp
the filter box is editable.. try to edit spresso to your taste!
and if you found an good setting post here! (to share with all) :)

@Shark_jlc
download dgindex 1.4.8 http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec148.zip , unzip in dgindex folder , take dgdecode.dll and put also in filter folder
in this way ivtc must be fixed

20:35:37 On selected tracks Dgindex isn't able to demux any audio tracks, now rerunning dgindex in demux all tracks mode
seems problem in demuxing. please do this:
1) manually launch dgindex and create the d2v file AND the audio file
2) launch AutoMKV, on input select the d2v and the audio file
3) set your wmv encoding and let's start encoding!

I think the quotes are in the wrong spot at the very end

it's is a true problem since bdeint will fuction.... i called it a missed feature... don't worry the test is fully operative

@dlflannery
thanks, i will do some more test based on your tests!

Hi,

I'm trying to shrink a movie for a mobile phone.

For this I'd like to set the FPS at 12.5 ; but there seems to be no way to set the fps in automkv ?

Could you please add this option ?

Thanks.

I second this if it is at all possible buzzqw.

I picked up a Meizu M6 (http://en.meizu.com/product_m6.asp) which plays XviD in AVI but only at 20fps & would be great if I could use AutoMKV with it as most of the other conversion software is pretty poor.

[buzzqw]

or this I'd like to set the FPS at 12.5 ; but there seems to be no way to set the fps in automkv ?

picked up a Meizu M6 which plays XviD in AVI but only at 20fps

It is already possible!

in advanced setting, check "Last line AVS script" and write ChangeFPS(20.000) or ChangeFPS(12.500) :)

@Shark_jlc
download dgindex 1.4.8 http://www.64k.it/andres/data/d/dgmpgdec148.zip , unzip in dgindex folder , take dgdecode.dll and put also in filter folder
in this way ivtc must be fixed


seems problem in demuxing. please do this:
1) manually launch dgindex and create the d2v file AND the audio file
2) launch AutoMKV, on input select the d2v and the audio file
3) set your wmv encoding and let's start encoding!

BHH

It still failed. The encoding process still detected the length to be 10 seconds.

VirtualDub fails to open Movie.avs on line 67 which now says: "out_width ="

Thanks for the help so far buzzqw.

[buzzqw]

this problem is due to compatibility.
open the movie.avs

change fixed_aspect = -1.#IND00 to fixed_aspect = 1.42222
and change out_width = to out_width = 720

save movie.avs and launch movie_wmv.bat!

DV files are so huge! When are they needed?

DV files are fairly large. The DV-NTSC codec data rate is 3.6MB/s, which results in file sizes for raw DV streams of roughly 12.9GB/hour. Still, this is a far cry from the data rates of other formats used natively by "pro" Non-Linear Editor applications (Avid, FCP, etc). DVCPRO 50 runs 7.2MB/s for example, commonly used 2:1 M-JPEG runs 12MB/s, and uncompressed SD (8-bit) runs 24MB/s.

I, personally, use DV because Final Cut Pro supports editing DV video natively (I don't have to render the files before use when I bring them into a FCP Project), and because it is the native format of just about every SD camcorder there is (and when importing footage from my cameras I can work with the exact same bit-perfect copy of the data that the camera "recorded"). Like I said when I originally mentioned it could be useful... I won't use it TOO much, but since x264 is such a nice quality codec, it would be nice to be able to compress some of my less-quality-sensitive source footage to x264 for long-term storage, and then have AutoMKV "reinflate" the files to DV so that I can use them in FCP. It'd save me tons of storage space for archival and stock footage. :)

When editing, DV has a number of benefits over some other formats that you may be thinking of (such as MPEG-2), mostly speed and quality related. MPEG-2 can be a very high-quality codec, but compressing to it in high qualities takes time and CPU power. DV is much "easier" on the system, and allows it to render a lot more things in real time. When you're editing raw footage together and adding effects and transitions and overlaying multiple different video tracks, performance can certainly be an issue (just try to edit a sequence in MPEG-2 with 15 video streams playing back at once)! In that kind of situation, dropping even 1 frame isn't really acceptable...

@glynor
thanks for your test!
seems that soundout could have some problem... on some audio source. I think that those audio track have some problem...

about junk.wav... yes is junk.. could you mail me the crash report ? just to point to Sh0dan
thanks again!

Thanks for looking into it for me. As I said, since the file encoded successfully I'm really not too concerned, as long as it doesn't happen with a bunch of other encodes. If it happened just this one time... Well then, that's just bad luck I guess!

I'm happy to mail the crash report (and did), but I'm not sure what you mean by "point to Sh0dan" (I think that's the person who developed SoundOut, but I'm not sure what you were getting at)... Can I have a clue?

[Shark_jlc]

in dvd mode (main film only), without checking use this pcg and process this ifo is used only for determine the pgc of subtitle extraction

Process this ifo: is to check before selectin the ifo (on already ripped dvd).
Normaly automkv even if you point to a specific ifo will select the BIGGEST ifo, and so the vobs belonging to this ifo will be processed.

BUT if you check (before manual selecting the ifo) Use this IFO automkv will process only the vobs belonging to this SPECIFIC IFO. (example you select Video_TS.ifo... then only Video_TS_0X.vob will be processed)

The Use this PCG is to use with dvd that contain only one pgc (one set of vobs) BUT this vobs contain multiple episodes.
So you select the ifo (before have checked use this ifo), AND then CHECK USE THIS PGC, go in main tab and select from combo list the PGC (episode) to process.
After the FULL film is ripped (if needed) autoMKV will SCAN all this vobs and will create a NEW VOB that contain ONLY this PGC and then will work on this vob

I hope to be clear! (someone will copy this to the wiki... ?)

BHH

Copied to the wiki, I may make this into its own page.

That's great thanks for the tip buzzqw.

[suppperj]

Let me just say that after reading 80 pages of this post I'm both completely impressed and intimidated. I understand why the forum makes neebies wait 5 days...I found most of my solutions reading through this post.

My question is a bit more basic than what I've seen on here so far. When selecting my resize option I've found that I like "autocrop" the best.

I understand that the other filters are best used for either upsizing or downsizing but my question is, why upsize or downsize at all? I understand if you're converting a video for an IPod or Zune but I'm playing my videos on a big screen TV.
Is there an advantage to resizing that I don't know about?

Would changing my CRF give me the quality I'm looking for in a 700mb file?

Sorry for being long winded. I appreciate everything you guys are doing...even if I don't understand 3/4 of it. Thanks.

[salman1]

how to add more than just one filter using this program
i want to use removegrain and removedirt

[buzzqw]

@suppperj

first of all Welcome to the FORUM!

but I'm playing my videos on a big screen TV.
yep.. not all have big lcd/plasma tv and in smaller tv even the 576*xxx is ok to view

also you want quality (using the crf profile) but quality is a personal taste , opinion and for me 700mb could not be enough for many films...
Also... someone use SAP (stand alone player, divx player) and rarely sap support big resolution...

and one last hint: Would changing my CRF give me the quality I'm looking for in a 700mb file?
If you want quality IN 700 MB don't use CRF, use Encoding-MainProfile. A 2 pass profile is often the best option to get quality in determinated media size.

@salman1
i want to use removegrain and removedirt

more then simple on filter box write removegrain(mode=2).RemoveDirt()
or use whatever filter but remember to concatenate with .

BHH

[salman1]

also what filter can i use to get rid of video noise?

[Barleyman]

Ha, looks like AutoMKV has been "discovered".

Not quite as bad as being featured in /., but something like that by the new blood.

So about splitting the AutoMKV thread.. :devil: Are we waiting for 100 pages?

I put in some stuff to the "profiles" section about xvid profiles that I know something about. Feel free to document the intimidating h.264 and WMV profile pull-down selections! http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Profiles

[suppperj]

I'm grateful I discovered MKV. For a newbie it seems to be the best of all worlds.

So if I am one of the lucky few that can display his video on a larger screen does that mean the "autocrop" selection is best? I've been using autocrop and limiting my size to 700mb with very satisfactory results.

I'm afraid I'm missing out on better quality because I'm not resizing.

I'd take these general questions to a more general forum but I've come to trust the answers here after having been able to fix other problems based on the advice in this thread.

[Barleyman]

Generally speaking resize during encoding is bad, m'kay? If you care about quality, that is. 700MB is fine for about 45-60min of DVD with AC3 audio using XVID.

If you try to fit movie into as small space as possible, it's better to resize it to a smaller size than have lovely lego-blocks all over the screen due to too much compression. So quality-wise it goes:
original size + bigger file > resized + smaller file > original size + smaller file.

Cropping is usually for only the letterbox movies that have black bars on top/bottom. Typical for stuff you get from TV. Letterbox movies with subtitles need special care..

Autocrop checks little bit of the beginning of the movie (still in 0.8?) to see if it has black bars. If the movie is 16:9 (fills wide-screen tv), autocrop shouldn't do anything at all.

[dlflannery]

@glynor
Thanks for the tutorial on benefits of DV -- very interesting!

[weaver4]

I encoded a movie using XviD with MP3 last night. The audio on the movie was about 15 db lower in volume than the same movie done with AutoGK. I looked in the log and I did not see anywhere where the volume was normalized.

[dlflannery]

ADDED: Multi Encoder!. If a file named "flv" or "msmpeg4v2" or "mpeg2video" or "rv10" is present in automkv folder then automkv will be force to used ffmpeg.exe to these format.
How does this work? I've put files named flv and flv.flv in the folder containing automkv080.exe. But when I start to encode a .flv video (either to WMV or to AVI/XVID) I just get an error message: "No Video Sequence Header Found" :confused: DGIndex is left running and has to be shut down manually.

I've used ffmpeg (outside AutoMKV) to encode this video to WMV7 and WMV8 with no problem.

When I encode using AVS to source this file into autoMKV it encodes but there are some video and audio glitches near the end. The ffmpeg encodings do not have these problems, so it would be nice to be able force autoMKV to use ffmpeg for the encoding.

I renamed \\AutoMKV080\exe\DGIndex\DGDecode.dll and DGIndex.exe, and then reran the dgindex you linked for me. Then ran AutoMKV and I have been encoding for 10 minutes.

So far so good!

@weaver4
open the mkvmaudio.avs
after the nicaudio you will see Normalize()
from my test the normalize fuction applyed before downmixing is faster but applyed after downmixing is slower and louder...

in next update i will put normalize after downmixing... even if -15db cannot be explained with normalize on

@dlflannery
STOP! i added the possibility to encode "file" and get as output flv/mpeg2... ffmpeg is used as encoder!
create the flv file (no extension)
open automkv feed your shour sample (set resize/width/disk settings. AS AUDIO CHOOSE LAME!!!, also deactivate deinterlace, set it to none) and click start
after few minuter you have a movie.flv!

Hi,

I'm trying to shrink a movie for a mobile phone.

For this I'd like to set the FPS at 12.5 ; but there seems to be no way to set the fps in automkv ?

Could you please add this option ?

:thanks:

I second this if it is at all possible buzzqw.

I picked up a Meizu M6 (http://en.meizu.com/product_m6.asp) which plays XviD in AVI but only at 20fps & would be great if I could use AutoMKV with it as most of the other conversion software is pretty poor.

It is already possible!

in advanced setting, check "Last line AVS script" and write ChangeFPS(20.000) or ChangeFPS(12.500) :)


I'm trying to encode clips or even movies for my nephew's Nokia 6233 (http://www.3g.co.uk/3GForum/archive/index.php/t-44839.html) but can it play less-than 15fps ???
I went to the Nokia Forum (http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/586585.html) but they don't mention about "less is more" ... most of my movies are @ 25 FPS so that a 12.5 FPS conversion should make for better playback...

:thanks:

There's no problem getting MONO audio... but it's using up 2 channels and double the necessary space of 1 channel mono.
Mpeg 1 (http://sound.media.mit.edu/mpeg4/audio/) does support single-channel ('mono') and two-channel ('stereo' or 'dual mono') ...

I'm encoding movies for my nephew's Nokia 6233 and audio can easily use up 30 - 40% of the filesize... which is crazy...

That profiles page just grew over night with good information!! Just to let you know NX6 is responsible for a good portion of the Changelog and Barleyman is almost entirely responsible for the profiles page, except, of course, for what you just did :)

Also, and more importantly :), my encode finally finished successfully, by using the version of DGIndex you gave me, and me renaming the old dgindex dll files.

so, what does this mean about the state of the current dgindex used with AutoMKV? :/

I think I understand (not sure about "feed your shour sample" :confused: ). I will try this -- assuming the "shour" is just an extra typo.

A suggestion related to ffmpeg:

As far as I can tell AutoMKV cannot source .flv directly -- only via AVS. This would be fine except (as I described in a previous post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=977357#post977357)) you can get better results encoding from .flv sources directly into ffmpeg (instead of AVS into WMcmd.vbs as done in AutoMKV). Of course ffmpeg currently will only encode to WMV7 AND WMV8 for WMV.

Would it make sense to integrate this direct-into-ffmpeg encoding into AutoMKV as an option for source types that are now only supported via AVS but can be handled by ffmpeg (such as .flv ) ?

I have only tried one-pass ffmpeg encoding to WMV. I think there is a way to do two-pass (but it really isn't important for Zune encoding).

I realize this may require very complicated logic to properly incorporate into AutoMKV and maybe it just isn't worth the effort (??).

:thanks:

yes, and i don't want to expand support to this file type.

actually ffmpeg is used in 2 way
1) if xvid/x264/wmvcmd.vbs fails the encoding -> ffmpeg is invoked to encode to xvid/x264/wmv
2) if flv/rv10/mpeg2video file is present .. (and from next update dv/wmv7/wmv8) the input file is taken as is and passed to ffmpeg for generating flv/rv10....

i hope to be clear.. and yes "shour" (mean anything ?) is just an extra (one more) typo!

BHH,
I tried this (source = mpeg2, encoding to flv, 500 kbps video specified). It didn't work but I have figured out why: In ffmpeg_flv.bat the ffmpeg options for video (-b) and audio (-ab) bitrates are way off.

-b was 25042000 (too high)
-ab was 6000 (too low)

I substituted "-b 500k" and "-ab 64k" and the two pass encoding worked very well (320x240 output, with auto crop).

Question: The encoded file was in the temp folder, named "movie.flv". If the ffmpeg batch had run OK would AutoMKV have copied this to the final folder and movie name?

It seems like a lot of processing goes on, and a lot of files are produced (20+) in the temp folder that are not needed, including audio.mp3. Only the ffmpeg_flv.bat file is actually needed to create movie.flv.

[buzzqw]

(set resize/width/disk settings. AS AUDIO CHOOSE LAME!!!,

the bitrate is computed based on disk settings, the audio bitrate is taken from the value displayed (so 112 = 112000)

500 kbps video specified this value isn't parsed... mmm.. i will introduce it.. thanks!

ADDED: FFmpeg.exe support to WMV7 (create a file named "wmv7" in AutoMKV folder) (suggestion by dlflannery)
ADDED: FFmpeg.exe support to WMV8 (create a file named "wmv8" in AutoMKV folder) (suggestion by dlflannery)
ADDED: FFmpeg.exe will control the manual specifyed bitrate (just write 500 for 500000 bitrate!) set in Advanced Settings (thanks to dlflannery)
ADDED: File created by FFmpeg.exe are moved to right folder at end of encoding (thanks to dlflannery)
FIXED: VirtualDub is now the default invoker of SoundOut in all code
FIXED: Moved Normalize() to last part of mkvmaudio.avs.It will be slower (15 minutes for analyzing the Matrix movie, against 10 before) but audio is louder
FIXED: Some improvment to ffmpeg encoding

BHH,
Before you released 0.80a, I did more experiments and found that if you put 64 in the audio rate (which would not be normal # for Lame -- that's why I had not tried it before) and enter a reasonable target files size in MB, it worked, i.e., I discovered what you said above. Anyway it looks like 0.80a will take care of all of this. :thanks:

[dlflannery]

BHH,
It works as advertised! :thanks:

I assume you still have to:
1. select Lame audio encoding
2. set interlacer to None

One tip (at least for ffmpeg encoding from mpeg2 to flv):
Do not select the AVI container -- if you do the muxer runs after the ffmpeg batch file and crashes saying "file already in use", then the "send report to Microsoft ?" message. This problem does not occur if you select MP4 container, X264 codec. (In either case the correct .flv output file was created.) I did not try with the MKV container selected.

Also: the constant bit rate you enter (Advanced Tab) is the total (audio + video) rate for this type encoding. (Different from WMV encoding.)

Added a chapter on removegrain filter.. http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Filters

[delacroixp]

Are there MKV muxing options that can boost colour saturation ?
I know from DivX encoding that colours are the first to go when compression is increased but they have a lovelly player that can beautifully increase 'saturation' during playback.

While encoding Band of Brothers in H264 I was so stunned with the huge decrease in filesize and even the crispy clarity that I neglected to compare to the original. Even encoding with Q22 instead of Q24 increases the colour quality substantially.
The series was totally digitally mastered and enhanced to the point that 'nothing' is natural... all the colouration has been modified.

So I did a Q18 Encode http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB01_Q18_MKV_Thumb2.jpg (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB01_Q18_MKV.jpg) ... comparing it to the Original http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB01_Org_VOB_Thumb.jpg (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB01_Org_VOB.jpg) ... and the difference is quite startling...

Perhaps there's a filter I could use that pays particular attention to colour correction ?

So I did a Q18 Encode (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB01_Q18_MKV.jpg) comparing it to the Original (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB01_Org_VOB.jpg)... and the difference is quite startling... see for yourself.

Perhaps there's a filter I could use that pays particular attention to colour correction ?

That's quite interesting. The difference is like night and day (pun totally intended here) :D. But that looks more like a gamma or contrast issue than a color problem. Is there a way to adjust those attributes from AutoMKV. One way to confirm is to use the adjustment filters in ffdshow on playback (the "Picture Properties" in this case) and see what you have to adjust the most to get something closer to the source material.

@buzzqw:

The option for adding a custom title to a muxxed file is located in a Muxing Options section in the Advanced Audio Settings, which makes little sense. How about moving it to the Advanced Settings tab. The Muxing Options section there has space under the "Force Muxing AR" setting (http://automkv.wiki-site.com/images/1/17/Advsetting.png).

Or, it might be better space-wise to swap the location of Muxing Options with Project Options. So it would look like this (forgive this rather crude quality mockup):

I wouldn't hold my breath on that score. On the other hand, if you browse the thread you can find Buzz explaining how the idct and couple other filters work.

Earlier versions of AutoMKV actually had docs for all the filters, but they mostly go into program algorithm-style treatise and do not actually tell you where this filter would be useful.

In any case, my opinion is that if there is no reason to filter such as synthetic noise in the source, you shouldn't.

Other use of filtering is to reduce the resulting filesize while keeping "apparent" image quality but in my experience you need many iterations with short video clips to find image quality you can live with and the compressibility result isn't that dramatic. I quess filtering is most useful when you have fixed target filesize such as 350MB or something :rolleyes: With filtering the movie/episode can be shoehorned into smaller filesize without getting lovely macroblocks..

If you use CQ encoding like me to archive DVB recordings, filtering is pretty useless since I don't care if the encode is 450MB or 550MB for one tv series episode. Except for video with noise. SHIELD or Oz will produce 1.5-2x filesize and compress much slower than series without noise added.

[buzzqw]

[Prospero424]

A quick question:

I've noticed a remarkable speed increase when going from version .79 to .80.

I tried encoding the same exact movie using the same exact same settings (a 2-hour long 1920x1080 MPEG2 transport stream converting to a 1280-width x264 mkv using the HighQuality-Insane profile and a DVD-5 file size) and the x264 encoding time went from about 30 hours per pass to 15 hours.

I was just curious to see if anyone else had noticed this and what the reason might be.

Needless to say, I'm not complaining :)

(Athlon X2 3800+, 2x2.0Ghz)

[vgiozo]

I use the High-Quality Profile myself, the "Slow" one, but you must really have nerves of steel to encode using the "Insane" profile...

I've also witnessed an increase in speed...maybe the X264 encoder has been updated as well?

It's in the changelog.

v0.80: Released 29/03/2007


Added MediaInfo. AutoMKV will use it as a last resort to analyze the input file.
Added new WMCmd.vbs, which should be more stable and robust.
Added in Log file the AR reported by DGIndex will now be listed.
Added WMV WVC1 presets. These presets are 2-pass encoding (Preset_Fast_WVC1.xml, Preset_Good_WVC1.xml, Preset_Better_WVC1.xml, Preset_Best_WVC1.xml, Prest_Insane_WVC1.xml)
Added Normalize() to audio avs file.
Added FFmpeg.exe to be used as encoder, if xvid_encraw/x264/wmcmd isn't able to process input file (not on dvd input) FFmpeg will try to encode to desired codec/container/width (not autocrop sorry...). Manual crop will be parsed and applied.
Added Multi Encoder support. If a file named "flv" or "msmpeg4v2" or "mpeg2video" or "rv10" is present in AutoMKV folder then AutoMKV will be force ffmpeg.exe to use these format. This does not work on dvd or avs input.
Added VirtualDub (1.7.1) as launcher of SoundOut plug-in, which should help deal with imperfect avs audio files.
Fixed bug where MP4 was recognized as AUDIO, now is recognized as video.
Changed XviD_CQ profile so it is now a true CQ. BQuantRatio is set to 1.
Fixed bug where in X264 the -ref was applied two times.
Added new Audio setting for WMV for better compatibility with the new WMCmd.vbs.
Fixed bug preventing AACgain from working for installation paths with space (like c:\program files\automkv\... ).
Added some tuning to audio downmixing when using WMV.
Changed location of Force Mux AR control to Muxing Options, and moved Anamorphic Encoding to Aspect Ratio Options.
Changed layout of log file some.
Changed RemoveGrain.dll to RemoveGrainS.dll, for better compatability with Athlon processors. Note: If you have a more powerfull CPU delete this file and from http://home.arcor.de/kassandro/RemoveGrain.rar take the DLL version your CPU supports (RemoveGrainSSE2.dll or RemoveGrainSSE3.dll). Do the same thing with job with RepairSSE2.dll or RepairSSE3.dll.
Added some tuning to WMV bitrate calculator
Changed width option so it now sets to "Original" if profile is CRF or CQ, and user selects "Go Unlimited" for final file size.
Updated NicAudio to 2.0.0.2, DgIndex to 1.4.7 beta 17, X264 v635, and ffmpeg.exe to v8435.

Great program, but I have a few requests:

-When I go into the Advanced Audio Settings just to change one thing everything is reset which is annoying if I forget something.
-When the selected profile is changed, everything is reset, also annoying.
-After you send a job to the queue it cannot be edited.
-Also, maybe consider adding some advanced settings for Vorbis? (Mostly allowing the bitrate to be selectable instead of just a quality setting)

Otherwise this program is great, much better than AutoGK ever was.

Edit: just got a memory violation in virtual dub saying something about out-of-bounds and audio, the setting I was using was Nero AAC, CBR 128kbps, from 5.1 AC3 to 5.1 AAC (Original).

[buzzqw]

-When I go into the Advanced Audio Settings just to change one thing everything is reset which is annoying if I forget something.

i prefer as is, those options are for advanced users and basically shouldn't opened.
I don't think to change the behavior.

-When the selected profile is changed, everything is reset, also annoying.
several profile need special options to be triggered. while i concord that is annoying i prefer to reset all

-After you send a job to the queue it cannot be edited.
yes, queue is a bad argument, i dislike it and queue dislike me :angry:

-Also, maybe consider adding some advanced settings for Vorbis? (Mostly allowing the bitrate to be selectable instead of just a quality setting)
most option on vorbis regards bitrate management and freq. Quality is the normal and preferred way of encoding.

Edit: just got a memory violation in virtual dub saying something about out-of-bounds and audio, the setting I was using was Nero AAC, CBR 128kbps, from 5.1 AC3 to 5.1 AAC (Original).
another user reported a memory error, AT END of ENCODING, when audio was already (and well ) compressed.
Must be presen some glitch in SoundOut...

One more quick question:

What, technically, does the "HQ Deint" option do? Is this something one should always have checked when quality is the first priority (and the source requires deinterlacing) or are there specific circumstances it should be reserved for?

Hi Buzzqw,

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

I am an AMATUER ... and don't know beans about programming or other heavy duty stuff. I am just point and click user ... For your Info ... version AutoMKV 0.80 was the first time that I actually could do conversion from DVD to AVI with success.

I have few questions/suggestions:

Q1: Under you AVI and XviD choices ... you have different .xmls ... is there a way that it can tell someone like me what is the Quality Rate on those ... like 2000kbps, or 4000kbps ... you something simple and no-brainer.

Q2: Seems the conversion engine is slower than before? Or is it my imagination?

BTW, I LOVE YOUR PROGRAM ... everything contained in one "Neat" little folder instead of being spread all over like some other program(s).

Thanks again,
G!

Sorry again to bring up the Queue, but...

I'm still attempting to rip an episodic DVD using AutoMKV, and (in addition to losing the second audio settings for queued jobs) ripping from within AutoMKV doesn't seem to work at all when you queue the jobs. I've had a number of jobs all fail to work, while using identical settings but not queueing them works fine. I'm not sure if any of my settings are required for this issue to occur, so here's what I'm doing:


Input File: x:\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO (selected drive and hit Check DVD Drive button)

Container: MKV
Codec: x264
Profile: Encoding-Highprofile.xml
Audio Track 1: English (AC3 2ch), NeroAAC (Stereo, Q=0.5)
Subtitle Track 1: RIP ALL SUBS
Resize Filters: Lanczos Resize
Set Width: AutoCrop Only
Filters: RemoveGrain(mode=2)
Output File: 250MB

Advanced:
Process this PGC & Process this IFO both checked.

What happens is, for queued jobs, DVD Fab Decrypter never actually launches and rips the DVD. It immediately loads DGINDEX then just stalls and sits there. DGINDEX of course has nothing to process, and so just sits there running.

For me, of course, the big advantage to using the Queue is for episodic DVDs. Ripping these manually is annoying, because you have to start one, let it finish, then remember to come back to the computer and start the next one. Over and over again, just for one disc! For a one-off movie, this isn't a huge deal, but for 7 episodes on a disc, it's really a pain...

Another little annoyance I've encountered is that when ripping from DVD, AutoMKV seems to ignore both the "saved" output folder location (it resets to AutoMKV's installed folder as soon as you hit "Check DVD Drive"), and ignores what you have typed in Movie Name for the purposes of naming the Logfile. The actual output file gets properly named, but the log file seems to always end up called "Click on INPUT for choosing FILE to ENCODE.log".

[buzzqw]

@gonwk

the profiles are based on quality/speed of encoding. There profile are not based on bitrate but the tradeoff between quality and speed

so the XviD_Fastest.xml/XviD_Fast.xml is the fastet and lower quallity

Hey... I'm just pleased you have time to do this at all! Thanks for all your hard work and help!

[delacroixp]

I was encoding a few BoB clips for a Nokia 6233 (still wont work) and one clip had no sound... the temp folder had 2 audio tracks (eventhough the clip only had 1)... audio1.mp4 was only 6kbs... so I remuxed using 'muxing.bat' by swopping audio1.mp4 and audio2.mp4... all fine

Then I tried muxing only audio2 with MkvMerge and discovered a nice 'muxing display option' that might be handy in AutoMKV though 'Force Muxing Ratio' probably works just fine...

I ran into another AC3 source file that crashed VirtualDub (again the SoundOut module) at the very end of the encoding process. Unfortunately, for some weird reason I haven't been able to upload the files successfully to RapidShare or any of the similar services. I'm going to try to upload from my home computer tonight and see what happens...

Either way... Again, once I closed the VirtualDub error message, the encoding process continued and completed without issue. Again, the file plays fine.

[buzzqw]

thanks glynor!
i need your ac3 crashing file.. if i am able to repeat the error Sh0dan could fix it... or i hope

btw i "should" have fixed the second audio missing, added the edit job queue... and surely added more and lots bugs in queue :p

i will downgrade dgindex to latest stable 1.4.8
this will fix several bugs on ivtc
any comment ?

Thanks for the work on the queue. It was quiet in here today and I suspected you might be lighting your hair on fire from all my queue-related requests!! :eek:

I think there's something weird about uploading to those services from my office's network. I've been trying since last Friday and had no luck (with like 5 different RapidShare-esque sites). I just transfered the problem AC3 file to my USB flash drive and I'm gonna tote it home and try from there tonight. It'll take longer (the office is on an 20mbps Internet connection) but hopefully it'll work!

That works for me. I've started using 1.4.8 manually before going to AutoMKV just because I don't have time to hassle with 1.4.9 if it fails.

But if I'm a lone exception, don't change on my behalf :)

Would a script like this work:
ColorMatrix(Mode="Rec.601->Rec.709",scaling=2,threads=2).a=last.b=FluxSmoothT(8).SeeSaw(NRlimit=0, NRlimit2=5, Sstr=1.70, Szp=1, Slimit=50, Sdamplo=29, Spower=1, sootheT=0, SdampHi=35)

Just curious because the a= b= is all part of Seesaw and I wasn't really sure how to do that with nothing but a one line thing.

whenever I encode DVD to WMV (use wmv9 profile) , AutoMKV always ;
1; complain it failed to find video length, an then
2; the alternative method also always failed and then
3; it using something ffmepg?, it encode but then
4; the result is not good, file size not small (I compare with result i got with movie maker) and quality also not good.

any idea to improve my experience encoding dvd->wmv with autoMKV?

thanx.

What settings have you tried for Deinterlacer (Advanced Setting Tab)? Try Film and None.

ffmpeg cannot encode to wmv9 so don't know what you are actually getting. (It can encode to wmv7 and wmv8).

Save the log file and post it here. (Clear the log file before running -- only save one case.)

update 0.80b! http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV080b.exe

ADDED: On start AutoMKV will warning if found files named dv or msmpeg4v2 or mpeg2video or rv10 or flv or wmv8 or wmv7 are present.
ADDED: Is now possible to edit job and resave job. For re-save job don't use Add Job but Resave Job on Queue Panel
ADDED: Some bugs in queue mode
ADDED: Possibility to specify the Width&Height in Matroska muxing. In that case the AR is ignored (suggestion by delacroixp)
FIXED: The Specify bitrate on Advanced Options , in ffmpeg.exe encoding, is now used only as video bitrate (suggestion by dlflannery)
FIXED: An ugly bug that will not trigger normalize() if Advanced Audio Options were opened
FIXED: The double "Processing completed. Type is determined to be partly film" reported in log
FIXED: Autoresize on WMV will now consider audio size
FIXED: On WMV is now possible to feed normal audio file and avs audio file, no more need to include audio source in movie avs files
FIXED: More sanity check on WMV encoding
FIXED: Missing Second Audio track in queue mode (thanks to Glynor)

note about wmv, the complain it failed to find video length, an then
2; the alternative method also always failed and then
is often due to directshowsource not providing enough information.
I suggest to install lastes ffdshow tryout and haali media splitter

The Force Mux W*H is very neat... and being able to download only the AutoMKV080b.exe file is also usefull... since many people are on "limited bandwith"...

I haven't been able to test any colour-changes on Band of Brothers (see Post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=977686&postcount=1684))... nx6 suggested a gamma correction or even a change in contrast (see Post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=977741&postcount=1688)) but my understanding is that Gamma effects => brightness and Contrast effects => the 'range' of brightness...

Are there in fact any Advanced colour muxing options, especially saturation, available to MKV... rather than let the user adjust their player ???
This could be usefull, not only to BoB but Q24 or lower quality encodes where the colour may have been bleached out...

A boost in colour saturation is to video... what a boost in volume is to audio...

I thought so myself... though they are both from the same monitor... one looks gr8 they other a bit 'grey'... I've tried 3 monitors (1 CRT & 2 LCD)... the colour from the CRT is probably the most real...

Funny thing happened... I can't get another 'video printscreen'... the video comes out black... I downloaded a few printscreen apps... which didn't work either... I even disabled the 'hardware acceleration'... and the printscreen to clipboard function works fine... but the video looks like c#@&...
The first time must have been 'beginners luck' or 'devine intervention'...

I'm still interested in the colour-thingy anyhow... filters, muxing, players... etc. (It makes all the difference)

When I looked at the two screenshots you showed me, what I noticed is one looked much brighter than the other (like the encoded movie made it appear to be evening verses midday in the original VOB), which is why I suggested a gamma or contrast issue.

Remember that when you are displaying video you are working with light, which is additive color (as opposed to pigment, which is subtractive color). A scene being too dark will result in colors being less bright and looking somewhat washed out as well. Which is why I suggest playing with the Picture Properties filters on playback and see if fixing the difference in lightness in the scene also helps the color saturation, there might be a saturation problem as well I will admit.

[glynor]

I realize that this might seem a bit odd, but I'm gonna ask anyway. On another forum I've been involved in a discussion on how to get DVDs extracted from disc and into a MKV file without recompressing the audio or video at all. Essentially a "copy original" for both Audio and Video, but with all the other benefits of a MKV file and with support for subtitles and multiple audio tracks and whatnot.

You've been adding all this super cool ffmpeg encoder stuff lately.... Is there any way we could get a lossless "copy original video" option for converting from DVD --> MKV somehow?

I've been trying to accomplish this seemingly simple task almost all day with one DVD using MKVtoolnix and DVD Fab Decrypter/DVD Decrypter+RipItForMe/IFOEdit/DVD Shrink/etc/etc/etc and I'm about ready to pull my hair out and set it on fire. I can get the VOBs into the MKV file, but sometimes it's a nightmare to get them to all get recognized and in the right order and everything. Half the time MKVtoolnix seems to just arbitrarily cut off my MKV file at around the 500MB mark, even though my source VOB is 5GB or so in size...

Everyone on the other thread has said essentially "AutoMKV looks like exactly what I want, except I don't want to recompress the video. I want a 5GB+ MKV file with AC3 audio and MPEG-2 video with the absolute best quality possible."

Any ideas or love?

[nx6]

@delacroixp

Check out this picture (http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Image:BoB01_Org_VOBedit.jpg).

I took your original images and combined them. The right half is your VOB, the left is the encoded file. On the upper 40% of so of the encoded file side I have done Brightness/Contrast adjustment to it (you can see the border running just above the truck's headlights). This is why the sky is similar in brightness to the VOB side. But there is a saturation problem as you diagnosed.

In the middle of the entire frame I have applied a saturation adjustment which overlaps all three areas (enclosed in white frame). You can see the upper left quadrant of it is the closest to the VOB sample area outside the white frame. Just so you have the figure: this is a 60% increase in saturation. So you would need to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation to get an encoding closer to the original material.

All good.

Quite frankly I'm more interested in how it's going with your greyscale encode... I think there must be a huge application with all the historical black and white movies around...

Even in terms of archiving purposes it would be of great documumentary value to humanity before they all disintegrate and are lost forever... I still havn't found a solution to 'single channel mono' ... and your small video encodes may be offset by relatively large audio encodes...


:):D:eek:

[nx6]

All good.

Quite frankly I'm more interested in how it's going with your greyscale encode... I think there must be a huge application with all the historical black and white movies around...

It didn't work out as far as I can tell for the purpose I meant it to.

Test film was 720x480, 1h 28m 09s, 4:3 aspect ratio
Encoded as H264, @ CQ-CRF: 18
AAC .25 audio, 2 audio tracks and one subtitle track.

"Color" Film: 1,793,394,045 bytes (1.66 GB)
Greyscale Film: 1,801,501,190 bytes (1.67 GB)

Yes, the greyscale film was actually slightly larger.

It did work on an anime episode (but that was color to start with and I wouldn't want it in greyscale).

Test episode was 720x480, 24m 42s 4:3 aspect ratio
Encoded as H264, @ CQ-CRF: 22
AAC .20 audio, 2 audio tracks and one subtitle track.

Color encode: 206,565,028 bytes (196MB)
Greyscale encode: 181,273,632 bytes (172MB)

I have a theory that studios master the original DVDs as greyscale to start with with these old movies. You ever notice how when you watch an old film that has been re-released 50 years later the studio's new 21st century logo is shown before the old studio's logo, yet BOTH are in greyscale? Why isn't the new one in color since it was just added and the second one in greyscale since it was part of the original print of the film? Because the studios mastered the entire movie as greyscale! They can't show the logo in color then since those colors are not available. By doing this, the mpeg stream the DVD player reads can have greater quality for the same bandwidth as a normal color film. Or they can use a lower stream and save disc space (cheaper single-layer DVD manufacturing now).

So the reason my trick doesn't work is my movie is already been reduced to greyscale so there's no extra information to throw out. Another possibility is the encoding algorithms can tell they are so many fewer colors in the film when compressing and iron out the bulky data stream without me telling them to reduce colors manually.

For most uses, adding greyscale() would be of no value, but there are still a few uses it might be good for. Like PVR recordings off a TV tuner card. Since the capture card is a color tuner there might be extra color information in the original recorded files that can be removed by re-encoding. If it was off a poor analog cable or broadcast reception there might be picture interference that is in color on the greyscale film, like I mentioned before, converting this fuzz to B&W would make it less noticeable. This could have value if you were encoding instructional films or something where color wasn't important but file size was.

Do you know the official bit depth of Apple's QuickTime used to be 16 bit (32 thousand colors)? The reason was, at the time, many computers did not have the processing power to handle playback of a full color movie at a reasonable resolution (this was back when 320x240 was considered average size), and the difference in perception between 16 and 24 bit is not that much (just try switching your monitor to "thousands of colors" and use it for a while). So movies done this way were watchable on far more computers and took up much less space on disk.

If this is a case of the original DVD being in greyscale to start, it might be possible this would change on a disc-by-disc basis. I didn't check the times of the encoding jobs, but I imagine they didn't vary much, so it's a feature I might use "just for the hell of it" when I'm ripping B&W films just in case it helps.

If this is a case of just good algorithms, then you wouldn't get any benefit on your BoB episodes as the encoder is already doing as good a job of compressing on those B&W scenes as they are.

I will probably do some more experimenting, though.

... and your small video encodes may be offset by relatively large audio encodes...

When I redo some of this stuff, I'll remember to set the mono downmix option like I meant to the first time, which will prevent that issue.

I'm actually interested in solving your problem with the color and brightness difference you were having as it was quite a striking difference when viewing the two screenshots side-by-side. It would be nice to know I could solve a similar issue in my own encodings using the methodology I employed in that image I posted to you if I had the same problem.

encode once
check differences
use image editor to change a single frame to match source material, noting changes & values altered
rerun encode with the same changes applied by the encoder to the entire film

I can imagine a processing like this being applied to the entire film might make the AutoMKV job much longer though.

tonight i had encode Matrix with Preset_Good_WVC1
perfect encode... but i cannot ear audio... even if is present :confused:


What a coincidence, I watched the Matrix tonight on my computer! But I was watching my DVD, not a file on my hard drive.

probably a dumb question but:

Audio #0
Codec : WMA3
Codec/Info : Windows Media Audio 3
Bit rate : 128 Kbps
Channel(s) : 2 channels
Sampling rate : 48 KHz

What would an audio card do if asked to play back a file of a sampling rate too high for it?

Also, another silly point, sometimes I activate the mute on WMP accidentally as the shortcut key is I think the pause key on another player I use or something like that. I usually have trouble figuring out that's what it is and start restarting my machine because I think Windows's audio processing is messed up.

I hate to break this to you... but my mono seams headed the same way as your greyscale... one of my (downmix) MONO encodes was larger than the stereo version... possibly because stereo works as a 2-man team while MONO is carrying the complete signal in 1 channel (x2).

Mpeg-1 supports 'single channel MONO' but Mpeg-4 still uses 2 channels even if you choose Mono...

[glynor]

So.... Regarding my request for muxing "passed through" video. I finally figured out a reliable method for getting non-recompressed video from a DVD into a MKV file, but it certainly isn't simple. It's probably not the perfect way to do it, but I posted step-by-step instructions over here: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=39604.msg271816#msg271816

While investigating this, I became more and more convinced that this would be a superb addition to AutoMKV. I think that, at least for DVD based source files, it would probably be fairly simple to add the feature, since AutoMKV already has to go through all the steps to extract the video anyway (so it has all the pieces you need right there). Of course, simple's probably a relative term.

Either way, I think it'd be great to have this option in such an easy to use application. Lots of people really prefer to keep the video in the most pristine format possible, but would like the convenience of using a single file format like MKV. As it is, it's quite a hassle to accomplish...

This, plus AutoMKV's other capabilities of encoding the Audio (if desired) and extracting subtitles and all that, would be ideal IMHO!

[nx6]

Well, what codec were you using? Since the AAC is set with a "quality" slider perhaps it felt that to get that quality level in one channel out of a two channel input file it would need to encode the mono at twice the bitrate (this is why I prefer to use set CBR's to encode, no guessing as to what the actual filesize will be, I can figure it out mathematically if I want to).

My source audio is 1ch to begin with, so I'm sure using the "stereo" downmix option did make my audio files twice as big for no reason.

Anyway, reducing to one channel should cut the audio file in half if they are full stereo.

@buzzqw: Does the LAME encoder use full stereo or joint stereo?
I suppose that the normalize process (since is a two time process) make the encoder... crazy ???
Perhaps the normalize filter has trouble reading the levels of the audio after its been used once and as a result considers everything over 0db as over level, so it now drops everything below 0db. :D Hence, no audio.

[buzzqw]

@glynor
i will look!

@nx6
lame default is j-stereo, but since i use preset abr it change on bitrate change, but will simply switch from joint to simple stereo

I fell in love with VBR mp3 way back when it rarely even worked with DivX... so I just love VBR mp4.
I use BeSweet (BeLight GUI)... and even though I don't know the actual bitrate... I know I'm getting the best possible quality, given the 'Normal', 'Streaming', 'Audiophile', etc quality levels... and I can compare filesize afterwards... I work on the audio track separately and it's all pretty quick... it's a bit like the CQ-CRF profile for video... the ultimate in dynamic variability...

Well perhaps not... we're still missing 'variable frame rate'... and a quality based 'automatic resize', so that an animation would tend to resize at a lower resolution and a detailed movie would tend towards a higher resolution for the same quality level... perhaps that's the ultimate CQ encode...

Quite frankly, I'ld prefer to use the AutoMKV audio encoding facility... IF I knew I was getting the maximum possible 'volume boost' without clipping and I often do so after testing the track with BeSweet and then use the Amplifydb(xx) option...
I had an Aiwa 'feather touch' cassette deck in high school in 1980 and recorded LP's from a record library... but you could never be sure if your tape recording was too loud or too soft... even if it had good volume there could always be one spot that became distorted (clipped)... it was all pretty random...

Can you actually compare your 1 channel audio source to the mp4 encode filesize... I can't see how it will even allow a single channel file after encode.

[delacroixp]

Lots of people really prefer to keep the video in the most pristine format possible, but would like the convenience of using a single file format like MKV.
I certainly do... especially if you're encoding from Mpeg-4 (P10) source material and you have no need to resize...

I'm no Einstein on encoding and video formats but what exactly is the real advantage of MKV over MP4... the actual encode is MP4 and the MKV container even increases the filesize... SAP's don't play either so you're left with PC-playback... sure different formats WMV, et al, have specific target hardware but what's the specific power of one format over another... menu's, filesize, quality, features ???

More flexibility. In an mkv you can keep all the subtitles and audio tracks when you do a dvd backup.

The killer feature for me is that with MKV you can have several AC3/DTS audio tracks. You can't use AC3/DTS with MP4.

I don't want low quality audio and I watch my movies on my home theater with a high end 6.1 receiver, so I need the AC3/DTS pass through.

One more reason for keeping the AC3/DTS with the h.264 files is that you should later be able to demux the mkv and author the sources directly to a blue ray / hd-dvd.

This might be a dumb question, but have you tried playing back the .avs to see if it's outputting any audio at all? Have you tried replacing NicAC3Source with just WAVSource to see if it works?

@zambelli

opening the avs in virtualdub and afte waiting 10 minutes... yes
the normalize() fuction first analyze all audio stream then apply the gain thru all encode...

i can suppose that normalize isn't best with wmcmd.vbs but the audio gain is very important when encoding from ac3/dts to wma audio.

very good solution could be letwme encoder/wmcmd.vbs to normalize the audio... but this fuction is missing...

Have you tried replacing NicAC3Source with just WAVSource to see if it works?
since i have the ac3 file i tryed with nicac3... because the directshowsource is a pita with wmcmd.vbs...

if isn't too much try downloading automkv80.rar and the update (all in first post in this thread) then try encoding a full film

Does any other encoder work with Normalize()? I'd be surprised. Most encoders expect a frame sample at a time - I doubt any encoder would wait 10 minutes for a sample without timing out or just moving on.

since i have the ac3 file i tryed with nicac3... because the directshowsource is a pita with wmcmd.vbs...
You could always use BeSweet to decode to WAV and then just use WAVSource. That's far more reliable anyway.

[buzzqw]

with other encoder i don't feed the audio directly ... because i mux video AND audio after encoding... but with i haven't found audio+video wmv muxer around (and comman line able...)

BHH

[buzzqw]

one more test

LoadPlugin("c:\nicaudio.dll")
NicAC3Source("c:\matrix.ac3",2)
normalize()

with this command line
cscript.exe "c:\WMCmd.vbs" -input "c:\audio_wma.avs" -output "C:\audio.wma" -audioonly -a_codec wmapro -a_mode 0 -a_setting 192_48_2_24

will generate a 2 hour and more silent audio file

the same script processed with bepipe (feeding nero aac or oggenc2.exe....) or soundout is perfectly audible.

substituting the normalize() with amplifydb(15) will solve the problem BUT can introduce clipping in audio track

Zambelli i don't want to bother you, seriusly, i will only ask if will be a better solution. And pre-encode ac3 to wav to wmv isn't my clear idea of good workflow...

thanks!

It still disturbs me that I (as an MKV container user) can't use the AutoCrop-Only option... the sheer power and elegant simplicity of MKV is negated by the forced-resizing implementation of AutoMKV... which by it's very name... purports to champion MKV...

Only yesterday I encoded The Deer Hunter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deer_Hunter) (Dec 1978) only to discover that it not only has 'huge' amounts of black space top and bottom (T=>70 B=>71) but also left and right (L=>9 R=>8)... this after more than 12hrs of encoding...
Unfortunately I then had to rely on an old friend, Dr DivX 2.0.0 OSS (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/DrDivX.jpg), to shed some light and show me the way (see pic)...

I then restarted the encode with manual cropping, adjusted upwards the left crop from 9 to 10, the bottom crop from 71 to 72 and manually set the muxing options to anamorphic and automatic...
This encode was complicated by the now modified resolution which was originally 720x576 (PAL)/16:9 but is now 702x434 ([720-18x576-142]anamorphic) which on playback becomes ???x434.

If that wasn't enough... my encode is right now getting funny on me too... see pic

The killer feature for me is that with MKV you can have several AC3/DTS audio tracks. You can't use AC3/DTS with MP4.


That's why I switched to using MKV over MP4. Plus, in my testing, the vast majority of Set Top Players couldn't even handle MP4 (and certainly couldn't handle x264). Since I decided XviD's quality wasn't going to cut it...

I do still use MP4 for some files (mostly purposed for streaming via my Quicktime Streaming Server), but for basically everything else I just use MKV. You just don't really have to worry about what format the stream is in... MKV can probably handle it.

simply autodeint isn't unable to determine the frame / interlacer type.
if you know how to proper deinterlace, select the right frame type

for carton options you must use the zones option of xvid_encraw
C:\>xvid_encraw.exe -help zones
xvid_encraw - raw mpeg4 bitstream encoder written by Christoph Lampert 2002-2003

xvid_encraw built at 20:07:02 on Feb 3 2007
Zones options:
You can define up to 64 zones using the -zones option as described below.

-zones start,mode,value[,options][/start,mode,value[,options]]...

Parameters of a zones use the comma (,) as a delimiter. Multiple zones are separated by a slash (/). The end of each zone is defined by either the start of the following zone or the last frame of the input file.

start : Start frame of the zone
mode : weight zone = w, quanttizer zone = q
value : Depending on mode either the zone's weight or quantizer.
options : Enables certain encoder features for the zone. Each feature is represented by a single letter. An integer number stands for b-frame sensitivity. To enable multiple features at the same time combine the appropriate symbols without any delimiting characters.
K = being with keyframe
O = Enable chroma optimizer
G = Greyscale encoding
C = Cartoon mode
integer = B-Frame sensitivity

Example:
To create a first zone starting at frame 0 with weight 1.0, all options enabled and b-frame sensitivity -5, and a second zone starting at frame 1000 with constant quant 4 and no options enabled you would use the -zones option like this:

-zones 0,w,1.0,-5KOGC/1000,q,4

Hm. No no, you got mixed up.

I have de-interlace artifacts with south park, where I force TFF + deint. I get nice flickery horizontal lines, yuck. I get those even if I use the slooooooooow hq deint. No combing, thought, so TFF is correct.

With this other show (deadwood, actually) it says it's "progressive", but the field order says "unk" .. In any case, since I got ~25fps encode for that, I didn't get hit with the HQ encoder. OK pic quality, too.

Didn't know you can use progressive in PAL DVB.. On the other hand, I suppose it's progressive @ 25fps.

for carton options you must use the zones option of xvid_encraw


How about I just tick "XVID cartoon mode" checkbox? :p

Has anyone here any pointers on editing IFO files? I have a series I'm trying to encode and there are not individual IFO's for the individual episodes, so I would need to edit the single "play all" IFO to get single episodes, to add to the confusion the VOB's are mixed around. The first has Ep. 1 (both parts) and the show opening at the end, while another appears to begin with the second part of the third episode and another undoubtedly has the end credits on it somewhere.

Or is there a way I can choose by index & chapter from the DVD navigation to get what I want to encode in the right order?

[Barleyman]

could not be a FILM type ?
have you tryed all deint options with hq enabled ?


Possibly.

I do not know, I just tried "interlaced" and "TFF", which seems to be the right field order (no comb artifacts). I should DL latest SP episode from my PVR and experiment a bit with the alternative ops.

On Auto I get 66% TFF, 33% BFF and HQ deint, nice flickery artifacts and sloooooooow encoding. On deint and TFF I still get artifacts but 2x faster encodes.

..

By the way.. about matrixes..

What's the deal with sharktooth's matrixes?

I LR means "low rate" and HR means "high rate", but how high is "high" and how low is "low"? Bitrate/quantizer-wise?

What about ULR and UHR? What about v1 and v2?

i am not a avisynth guru... ask help on avisynth usage... :(

I LR means "low rate" and HR means "high rate", but how high is "high" and how low is "low"? Bitrate/quantizer-wise?

LR is mean for low bitrate (less the 700), ULR for less then 400 AND even using 10000 bitrate it will produce high quantization
UHR is mean for very low quantization when even the infime last b frames need a quant of 1 or 2... (used mainly for HD encoding... with bitrate over 8000)

P.S. added check box for greyscale and cartoon type...

Do you get the same problem when you encode the .avs with WME9 GUI? If you do, then there's not much I can do to fix it. Unfortunately, I only have control over the encoder script - but no control over the WME9 SDK.

Personally, I think decoding to WAV - particularly when dealing with just stereo AC3 - is far more reliable then decoding AC3 in realtime. I've never had any A/V sync issues when using the decode to WAV method, and in an automated environment it's very easy to clean up any temp WAV files after the encode.

You may consider using DVD Decrypter (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/DVD_Decrypter.jpg) to rip your episodes from DVD or Image.
You can also enable Stream Processing (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/DVD_Decrypter_2.jpg) to include/exclude audio and subtitle tracks... pertinent information will be displayed and 'Direct Stream Copy' of audio tracks for further enhancement with BeSweet/BeLight is not out of the question. Of course, you'll also need MkvMerge (which you have) to manually mux everything when you're done.

If you Download (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/DVDDecrypter_3.5.4.0.exe) DVD Decrypter, don't forget to set... goto => Tools => Settings => IFO Mode => File Splitting => None
This will ensure that each PGC or even each chapter... is ripped into a 'single' VOB file and IFO file... you can rename them accordingly...
It's easier to work with one file than many bits and pieces... it'll create 1 file even if your chapter is 20 GB...

Good Luck and may The Force be with you.

Ironically I had DVDDecrypter and uninstalled it a couple weeks ago when I realized that there was little reason to keep it around as AutoMKV used DVDFabDecrypter and MKVMagic never really worked for me.

Thanks but I think you are suggesting a solution that is more complicated than it needs to be. I'm going to start reading through the manual for DGIndex now that I've finished watching Ran (Great film by the way. Long - but I highly recommend it). It's funny all the useful software you get as part of AutoMKV that I haven't really investigated. I think buzzqw's idea of editing down d2v files with DGIndex or editing IFO's would be an easier solution.

[TheRyuu]

Why does it keep putting this at the end of my movie.avs file. I really don't want it there:
ColorMatrix("Rec.709->Rec.601",hints=false,threads=3)

In my avisynth code box I have this:
ColorMatrix(Mode="Rec.601->Rec.709",scaling=2,threads=2)

Isn't the color matrix script it keeps putting at the end (top one) kind of taking away the point of using my own color matrix script (bottom one)??

Hi folks,

I am using a Test clip in DVD format (you know VIDEO_TS) ... I have made it short so I can see my results fast.

This test clip has "Soft" subtitles ... I used AutoMKV 0.80a and when I choose subtitle one from drop-down menu ... and say encode it gives me error! I would have posted my .JPEG ... but I don't knwo how to do it with "URL" feature!!!

Q1: Has anyone been able to back up such a clip or dvd? And How to keep subtitles?

I use AVI option with XviD ... simply because my DVD player is only Xvid/DivX AVI capable. My Philips will not play x264 encoded AVI's.

Q2: Can my player play an .MKV file?

Thanks,
G!:)

Q2: Can my player play an .MKV file?

Probably not. Maybe MP4 container, though.

@buzzqw:

I tried a test using an edited d2v file last night, almost perfect.:) I got an error about parsing the d2v file when AutoMKV started the job, and I had to tell it where the audio tracks were (which I wasn't expecting), but the job did finish, only problem is I didn't get the subtitles. I guess I'll need to rip these manually first and then add them as a separate file for the AutoMKV job, right?

[gonwk]

Hi nx6,

Thanks for your answer!

@buzzqw

Thanks for the great program, tried out other day and it worked perfectly!

The previous version had problems with the audio conversion, but the new one works fine.

Even though the encoding takes awhile for high quality it's worth it.

I wanted to try it on my spare machine in vista, but had trouble getting AVI Mux GUI to start properly, do you know if anyone else had this prob?

Thanks,

[nx6]

I managed to manually rip the subs with VSRip (taking only the cells for the specific episode I was encoding), but I'm not sure if AutoMKV is accepting them.

The .idx and .sub files are in the same folder as the other files being used for the job, but the subtitle menu doesn't change after I have input the idx file on AutoMKV. I tried the RIP ALL SUBS option, but that didn't work. This encode actually didn't finish at all, and I still got the error at the start of the job. Besides trying to attach separate subs the only change I made from last time (where the encode completed in all aspects except subs is I used the default X264 profile, instaed of changing the quality quotient to 20 from 18. I was so happy with the small file size of the first test I decided I would bring up the video quality setting.

I'm going to try rerunning this and see what happens this time. One thing I changed this time is the .idx has the same name as the .sub file, which wasn't the case last time.

I got the error at the beginning (which says "Bad Perimeter Error" this time) already...

well... for d2v input it is normal that when loading as video input a d2v file, automkv will ask for till 2 audio tracks, click cancel for no audio tracks.

about muxing error...

go in dos box and launch muxing.bat, what is the error ?

thanks!

BHH

[FrieWiled]

@buzzqw:


since i have now ffmpeg... i can mux with it... or least a can try!
stay tuned for next update!

Thanks!

Legend!

[fogbav]

Just wanted to post that if someone has a problem that automkv is crashing permanently when starting - deinstalling Net Framework 3.0 helps a lot ..8)

Jumped back to 2.0 ... everything works fine again ...

Happy Easter Eggs ...

@wizboy11

there isn't option to not insert colormatrix... but i can work on it...
in next update if you have a file nocolormatrix (without extension) in automkv folder, then the colormatrix will be not applyed

BHH

I want colormatrix applied, just that I want MY colormatrix script applied. :)

[buzzqw]

@FrieWiled

in next update i added an option to mux (avi) with ffmpeg (will be visible, in advanced settings, only when selecting avi container)

@fogbav
are you sure ?
automkv doesn't have any dipendences with .net framework...

@wizboy11
since colormatrix is inserted per default, using the nocolormatrix file will not insert it and you can use last avs script to insert your colormatrix

about muxing error...
go in dos box and launch muxing.bat, what is the error ?


Actually, my third test (the one I was starting when I posted my last message last night) finished successfully. With all audio and subtitle tracks, so it looks like my error was having .idx and .sub filenames mismatched. :) This also means launching muxing.bat now just reproduced that same file, so I can't recreate the error, sorry. :(

What is causing vsrip to say "Error parsing perimeter file" when the job first starts? :confused:

the title had a colon in it!

BHH

Aw, man! So I can't use a colon in my movie titles? I figured DOS had been told to ignore special characters in the title field since they are part of a text string.

Now I can't do "[series] [ep#]: [ep title]" for my movie titles. I guess I coud just substitute a hyphen in instead. I can't use pipe characters or slashes either then can I?

Isn't this rather unsafe? What if I title a movie "C:\ del *.*" or something, would I erase my hard drive?

Edit: Is the title embedded somewhere other than that batch file? I edited the batch file in notepad and changed the colon to a hyphen so I wouldn't have to wait for it to reencode everything to fix this, and the batch still wont run.

It also doesn't help that your double quoting the file name.

" "S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach Volume 1\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.idx" "
the path has a space in it, thus needs to be quoted so dos doesn't auto parse it as separate parameters. But there are two quotes before and after the filepath, negating the effect. It's kind of like a double negative.

The error that mkvmerge throws also bears this out. It tries to load ' S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach' and can't, notice that it's cut off at the first space.

As far as the colon goes, in this instance it shouldn't matter. Dos doesn't really see it, it's quoted. All dos sees is a block of text to send to the executable as a single parameter, not caring about whats in it. File names cannot contain a colon, but the title is just a piece of metadata in the file.

[nx6]

It also doesn't help that your double quoting the file name.

I actually didn't write any of the batch file, AutoMKV builds it.

" "S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach Volume 1\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.idx" "
the path has a space in it, thus needs to be quoted so dos doesn't auto parse it as separate parameters. But there are two quotes before and after the filepath, negating the effect. It's kind of like a double negative.

Thanks, that would explain why getting rid of the colon didn't fix this.

The error that mkvmerge throws also bears this out. It tries to load ' S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach' and can't, notice that it's cut off at the first space.

I actually noticed that, but I didn't have a muxxing error on the tries where I didn't have the colon in the moviename, but the path still had a space in it then. Too bad I don't still have a muxxing.bat file from one of the attempts that completed successfully without any editing. Then we could see if AutoMKV wrote the path differently those times.

I fixed the path and put back the colon in the title and the file muxxed. :)

@nx6
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply you specifically, I meant the general form of 'you' meaning the batch file/program. It wasn't a criticism, just me trying to point out where the error really was. I was in work mode there for a second, sorry again.

@buzzqw
I really think you should consider deinterlacing before cropping. After I last brought it up, I ran about 60 movies through to back up to my htpc. And the problem that we both thought was an isolated fluke, doesn't appear to be so isolated or flukish. A little over a third of them have the color bleeding problem from being improperly cropped before deinterlacing. It's harder to spot on live action titles than it is on anime/cartoons but once you see it, it's all you can see. It's not just my setup either, I pointed it out on a friends encodes that he thought were fine and now it's driving him nuts too. It'll look like the luma, or the 'structure' of the image changes, but the chroma (color) will appear to be from the frame before or after. It's especially noticeable on a scene change or camera switch. Film material won't do it every frame, but more like 1-2 frames every 3 or 4 will. If your AutoCrop.log file has a top of anything non divisible by 4 and your source is truly interlaced or telecined material, take a look at your movie.avs in virtualdub real close. ex: Crop(0,58,720,360).

YV12(mpeg4/mpeg2/dvd) interlaced should be cropped on mod4 offsets, autocrop was written to be used on material thats already progressive so doesn't enforce those offsets. If you crop YV12 interlaced on non mod4 offsets (vertically) then you split the UV chroma block and essentially swap the chroma information between the two fields of that image when they are split apart during the deinterlacing/IVTC process.

Since AutoMKV was still open, and I was mowing the lawn and doing some other things, in the interest of bug fixing I ran the complete job again from AutoMKV, this time taking the colon out of the movie name was the only change. The idea was to reproduce the earlier job where the encode completed successfully with subtitles without editing the batch, but it failed muxxing again. Here is the batch file when run from DOS:

"S:\AutoMKV080b\exe\matroska\mkvmerge.exe" -o "S
:\temp\Bleach Ep 001.mkv" --track-name -1:"Bleach Ep 001" --aspect-ratio 1:1.333
333 "S:\temp\movie.mp4" --language -1:eng "S:\temp\audio.mp4" --language -1:jpn
"S:\temp\audio2.mp4" " " "S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach Volume 1\VIDEO_TS
\VTS_01_0.idx" " " --title "Bleach 001 test 5"
mkvmerge v2.0.2 ('You're My Flame') built on Feb 21 2007 23:40:43

Error: The source file ' S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach Volume 1\VIDEO_TS\V
TS_01_0.idx' could not be opened successfully, or retrieving its size by seeking
to the end did not work.

Notice that there are now three sets of quotes on the subtitle file's path.

[nx6]

Closed AutoMKV, reopened and set up job again. This is the 6th test. File had a colon in it's movie name and audio/subs came out fine. Muxxing completed.

Here's the batch file:
"S:\AutoMKV080b\exe\matroska\mkvmerge.exe" -o "S:\temp\EP01_Test_6.mkv" --track-name -1:"EP01_Test_6" --aspect-ratio 1:1.333333 "S:\temp\movie.mp4" --language -1:eng "S:\temp\audio.mp4" --language -1:jpn "S:\temp\audio2.mp4" "S:\AutoMKV080b\temp\FullDisc\Bleach Volume 1\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.idx" --title "Bleach Ep01: Test 6."

There's only one set of quotes this time.

It seems each successive run of the job adds an additional set of quotes to the subtitle file path. The reason I had jobs completing before is they were the first time running the job after launching AutoMKV. I was doing a "test" run to check final muxxed size, video quality, filter effect, etc, and for these tests I wasn't doing the little things like writing the complete movie title (I would just put "test #") or labeling the audio tracks with their language designations.

But after one of these jobs completed and I had decided on any final settings/profile tweaking, I would run the "final job" which in this case meant changing the title to the final title I wanted (which had a colon in it), that is where I was getting confused as to the cause of the muxxing failure. It was just a coincidence it was happening on those jobs, the real reason is that I hadn't relaunched AutoMKV, so it was adding the extra sets of quotes to my subsequent jobs and causing the failure. Between the second and third test runs I had closed AutoMKV. That's why:

The third test completed.
But the fourth test failed.
Then I manually edited the batch to remove double quotes and manually launched muxxing again from DOS, which allowed it to complete.
After that I deleted the temp folder for bug testing, but left AutoMKV open while I was doing this.
Then I ran the fifth test which failed, with three sets of quotes on newly created batch file.


What a very interesting bug, I wonder what causes it to remember how many times it had been run.

I suppose the workaround is to remove all spaces from the subtitle path so the extra quotes does not effect the path being read correctly.

[buzzqw]

@nx6
that's error was very subtle...
it was only triggered by quequing / starting the same subtitles more then 1 times

every time the job starts quotes was added to subititle...

now is fixed! thanks nx6!!!

please try downloading this build

Cool.:cool:

What about the "Error parsing perimeter file" that I get at the beginning and delacroixp has seen before? If I was running in queue mode would I get this on every job and hold up the queue from processing?

Question about separate subtitles...
Does the external subtitle file have to match just the content of the d2v file I'm using? Like if I ran three d2v files (one for each episode) would I need three separate sets of idx/sub files (one with each episode's isolated subs), or could I have one subtitle file that contained the subs of all three episodes and each d2v would use only the subs appropriate for its episode?

I'm also interested to know if you will implement deinterlacing before cropping as Tobytl suggested.

Well, to be quite honest... I've only seen that error ("Error parsing parameter file") once... and that was yesterday while encoding "The Aristocats"... with subtitles (normal + hearing impaired)... which also gave me the opportunity to test the Anime (Convolution3D-HQ) Filter... since The Aristocats is a very 'old style' animation... unlike todays 3D and Computer Animated movies which are superRealistic and don't have, cartoon-like, pencil drawing lines...

As to the 'error'... isn't that the one you just discovered and sorted... I got the error but the encode happily carried on... allbeit without subtitles...
I'm giving Tobytl's AutoMKV 0.80c a go to redo the the subtitles... which hopefully... the Gods being pleasantly disposed... I can mux separately with MkvMerge.

cya...

As usual... there is no real message... I merely mentioned @nx6 that I also got the VSRip "Error parsing parameter file"... and when I tried Tobytl's 0.80c and even back to 0.80b I got a wierd DOS box while encoding... funny enough it was actually encoding since movie.mp4 was steadily increasing in size... I killed the encode since there was no problem with the original encode (other than it left out the subtitles)... but nx6 seams to be onto that anyway... so I'll leave well alone... and try again later... np.

[delacroixp]

Sorry... I forgot to mention about 'The Deer Hunter' encode...

As usual... you're always right... there was nothing wrong with my L=10 and R=8 crop except that 702x??? is unacceptable since 702 is NOT Mod 4... so Left crop became 8... width became 704 and all went amazingly well for a change...

Thanks much

Well, while we're about it...

Will MKV allow subtitles directly from VOB... I've ripped out each subtitle with it's own IFO (DVD Decrypter)...
Also the extras and their individual soundtracks (including Spanish, Greek and Hebrew)... which were then converted (with vol boost) to WAV and back to MP4... so the folder's looking seriously messy at this point in time... not to mention, complicated for even my prodigeous mental capabilities... Tickle (http://web.tickle.com/) put my IQ up there with Bill Gates at 2543... how bad is that ???

Please help.

:thanks:


:):D:eek:

btw
I still feel that if AutoCrop-Only was working correctly... I wouldn't have had those problems with 'The Deer Hunter'...
I'm not really a hands-on kinda person as much as I've loved encoding over here with AutoMKV... personally I'ld rather drive a new car that works flawlessly... or better still, take a Taxi with someone else at the wheel...
***EDIT***
OK... well encoding with AutoMKV is like the first trip to Mars... how bad is that ???
And it's like wayyy better than MeGUI... or what ??
DOS was gr8, GUI is better ?

DVD Fab Decrypter (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=124149) was updated...

blutach's avatar (see post) is to die for... I think we need something like that for AutoMKV... a little animation to highlight the power of film and motion...

that's mean that NO SUBTITLE is avaiable (detected) in your source file.
If your input is vob/ts/d2v/avs..., you don't have any source of subtitles. Only with ifo files you have a source for subtitles
Is AutoMKV that insert Rip All Subs, per default, indipendently of source files
Even if your vob contain several subtitles it is impossible to extract it without having the ifo...
And so this error is not error of automkv.

I didn't know if the idx file still contained the VOB/cell timing info.

use dvddecrypter and rip by chapter, then process every chapter by vsrip to extract proper subtitles

So what you're saying is I only select the subtitles with the menu if I am using an IFO for input. If I'm using a d2v, then I just load the external file and leave the drop-down menu on "None". Thank you, it looks like this is "operator error". :)

use dvddecrypter and rip by chapter, then process every chapter by VSRip to extract proper subtitles
I was taking VSRip and just deselecting the cells I didn't want subtitles for, leaving the cells that make the episode I was working on. Seemed to work well for this first episode I've been playing with.

Looking into DVDFabDecrypter's settings, looks like I could have just done the same thing with it. If I had seen that I wouldn't have add to mess with making d2v files to start with. Something to remember with the next disc.

0.80c-Tobytl does indeed fix the color bleeding issue! I thank you, and Futurama thanks you.

@delacroixp

I think you may be running into a completely different problem. As long as the image is progressive (already deinterlaced/IVTCed) you can crop on mod2 offsets without issue, so with 0.80c this is perfectly reasonable.

I believe you mentioned that you aren't resizing, which is admirable, no quality loss from the resize and all. But you will also run into some more problems that way. MPEG video, regardless of the version (mpeg1/2/4/asp/avc) requires mod16 height/width because the macroblocks that are the largest 'unit' in mpeg encoding are 16x16, 704 is mod16, 574 is not (576 is). Some encoders will continue on anyway, warning you about compression loss and/or incompatibility with some decoders (like in your funny dos window). When you do resize, the autocrop bit in the movie.avs takes care of this for you, making out_height mod16. If you don't resize though, and you still crop, the width/height should be mod16 for compatibility sake.

This can be done with autocrop by itself fairly easily. A conditional like
if(width==autocrop only && resizer==none){
autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=16,hmultof=16,samples=40,aspect=0,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0)
}else{
normal autocropping
}

@buzzqw

i was wondering if there was any chance of getting AC3FIX (http://www.videohelp.com/tools?tool=91) (only 10kb's) integrated into AutoMKV. I've come across a few movies that i have that need AC3FIX run on them otherwise the audio encoding (mp4) will happen at 1x.

the usage seems pretty straight forward
ac3fix V0.3

Removes bad frames from .AC3 files
Usage: ac3fix <infile> <outfile>
Error level returned:
0: No bad frames found
1: One or more bad frames found and removed
2: Error in execution

The best place to use it is before the use of delaycut

there seems to be room for a checkbox to be added to the Demuxing and indexing options under the advanced tab.

@delacroixp

missing directshowsource or avisource unable to open the file

open the "mok.avi" with gspot and check the decoder used

@AMED
delaycut already (iirc) do this, even more i don't know if delaycut, after passing the ac3 thru ac3fix, will be able to synch...

i will look deeper to dealycut decumentation

I tried running Queue mode for the first time last night and things did not come out very well.

Three jobs.
All d2v input.
Two audio tracks on each.
A separate subtitles files for each.

The first job was the only one that muxxed, it has the correct audio tracks, but I marked what the language was on each those tracks and that was not added on the final movie. There is a subtitles track, but it appears to be the subtitles for another episode. I made three separate sets of idx/sub files (with different names) for each episode, and attached the corresponding episode's idx file to it when I set up its job.

I haven't had a chance to look at the log file for a clue what happened with the other two episodes not muxxing (might be the quotation mark issue still) but I do have it with me here at work so I have time.

Edit: Just read through the log. It was the quotes issue that stopped the muxxing from working, so next update will fix that. :) The language settings I put on the audio tracks simply aren't there from what I see. :confused: The last job's subtitle idx file was in fact fed to all three of the jobs. :mad:

[delacroixp]

@delacroixp
This can be done with autocrop by itself fairly easily. A conditional like

if(width==autocrop only && resizer==none){
autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=16,hmultof=16,samples=40,aspect=0,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0)
}else{
normal autocropping
}

OK... so what exactly does this mean... It looks roughly like...
IF autocrop-only == MOD 16(width and height) THEN No resizer
ELSE autocrop-only (with resizer)

I've just taken out Once Upon a Time in America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_America) by Serge Leone, from the public Library... hopefully I can produce an encode that they can use for patrons... I already have done so in DivX and most people have SAP's. The sound is veryyy soft... BeSweet recommends a Surround Gain of 5.9 dB and a Stereo Gain of 17.5 dB.
I ran it through Dr DivX... which shows L=2 blackspace... with your algorithm... 720 - 2 (L crop) = 718 => NOT mod 16 => autocrop with resizer.
I'm not really against resizing... the whole movie will be resized on playback... but I don't want to resize unnecessarily or like DivX => 1024x576 and then encode...

Your formula needs a little more refinement and a bit more tolerance... I also like MOD 16... assume 720x576 movie (any DAR)...
IF (width crop [L+R] < 8) THEN Don't crop
ELSE OverCrop 16
And multiples of 16... eg 17, 18 etc... ditto height... and so resizing could still be avoided

I chose to leave the 2 columns of black space in 'Once Upon a Time in America' though the algorithm could be modified to...
IF (crop <= 4) THEN Don't crop ELSE
IF (crop >= 12) THEN AutoCrop Only 16
ELSE crop and resize

There is a subtitles track, but it appears to be the subtitles for another episode. I made three separate sets of idx/sub files (with different names) for each episode, and attached the corresponding episode's idx file to it when I set up its job.

The last job's subtitle idx file was in fact fed to all three of the jobs. :mad:
Do you place each job in a separate folder

Also, if I rip 3 movies in IFO mode into 1 folder (assume each movie is 1 file), including the IFO file and rename them all accordingly... movie1.VOB, movie1.IFO... movie2.VOB, movie2.IFO... etc
Will AutoMKV and/or DGIndex encode all 3 movies correctly ?

no, sorry. each full rip in one folder. OR put all in one folder, then create the d2v files for each movie and demux only the audio you want (named accordly to movie name).Then you can queue the d2v+audio works

I had a similar query way back when and Buzzqw stipulated that each job get it's own folder...


:):D:eek:
Pascal

[nx6]

Do you place each job in a separate folder

No, these are all in the same folder. I'm doing it the other way buzzqw mentioned (not that I read that post first, though).

...put all in one folder, then create the d2v files for each movie and demux only the audio you want (named accordly to movie name).Then you can queue the d2v+audio works

So in the folder I have
ep01.d2v
ep02.d2v, etc...

and I have audio tracks that match up namewise with these files as well:
Ep01 T01 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3
Ep01 T02 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3
Ep02 T01 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3, etc...

as well as:
ep01sub.idx
ep01sub.sub
ep02sub.idx
ep02sub.sub, ect...
for the subtitles.

I don't think there's any issue with adding the audio, as the log shows the correct audio tracks for each episode where added for its corresponding job, but I had gone into advanced audio settings for each audio track and defined with language it was (since AutoMKV would not be adding those values itself like it does when you process an IFO). All three jobs show that they attempted to mux ep04sub.idx for the subtitle file (ep04.d2v was the last job set up in the queue).

Can anyone tell me what the .chunks file is for? Is it disc-specific or content specific? I didn't know if I needed to be keeping separate ones for each D2V file as they weren't getting named in accordance with the subtitle naming scheme by vsrip, it was always naming them after the IFO file. I renamed the first two that were generated after the subtitle set I was doing at the time, but I left the last one as the default name just in case it would be looking for the file under the name.

[delacroixp]

There's probably basically nothing wrong with your setup... but separate folders will even help your understanding of where everything's at... it's like 'modular programming'... you break everything down into byte-sized chunks (no pun intended)...

I've just started encoding "Once Upon a Time in America"... which has a very-high bitrate, almost akin to superBit releases... and since the movie is 229 minutes, it's divided into 2 parts... over 2 DVD's...
I've decided to have a separate folder for part 1, part 2 and the Serge Leone 'extra'... each with it's own audio tracks and subtitles...

hope it helps.


:):D:eek:
Pascal

[nx6]

hope it helps.
Pascal

Not really. I know where all the files are. The problem is advanced settings not getting saved as part of Queue jobs. Since every episode has track 1 as English and track 2 in Japanese, even if AutoMKV got stuck on the settings for the last job (similar to what's happening with the subtitles) everything would have been labeled correctly by coincidence on the other jobs. :D

Stupid question here: what is the numerical range for the ConstantQuality-CRF profile quality scale? I'm been thinking of trying something higher in quality than 18. Also, any recommendation of a filter to sharpen? I figured you might know since you were processing VHS tapes (made into AVIs) for a library I assume?

[buzzqw]

very quick answer:

actually queue don't save external subtitle

open the queue0.ini there is any sign of your external subs ?

(try to add in next version)

BHH

EDIT:

So in the folder I have
ep01.d2v
ep02.d2v, etc...

and I have audio tracks that match up namewise with these files as well:
Ep01 T01 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3
Ep01 T02 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3
Ep02 T01 2_0ch 224Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3, etc...

as well as:
ep01sub.idx
ep01sub.sub
ep02sub.idx
ep02sub.sub, ect...
for the subtitles.
that's correct, automkv take care of what file to use. For external subtitles point to .idx (not .sub)

All three jobs show that they attempted to mux ep04sub.idx for the subtitle file (ep04.d2v was the last job set up in the queue).
that's correct... at least in this version, in next update every job has its subtitles

.chunks file is for trash it, not needed

thanks nx6 for your test... and sorry for subs...

ok, i had found the way to run all script minimized, without any (or very few) prompt that steal window... BUT... what is the lose ?

i cannot guarantee that "prepare only phase" will fuction again, also i will use vbs script (as an old suggestion of glynor) and some nasty and bad antivirus (namely Norton) can intercept those files as virus... :p
Again: wcscript SHOULD be present in all win2k and MUST be in winXP but i cannot bet on it...

please tell me your opinion
Tylo uses AutoIt for D2SRoBa (addon for DVD2SVCD) and it works very good, you can both script in it and build the GUI. Doesn't have to be pre-installed by the user.

I have used it for other things and it's safer than most scripting languages, you can have the script wait for a specific window to appear, press buttons in program dialogs by name of the button...

Apart from that, I have just started to read about this tool and will see if it can do what I want - must do more reading... ;)

[delacroixp]

Stupid question here: what is the numerical range for the ConstantQuality-CRF profile quality scale? I'm been thinking of trying something higher in quality than 18. Also, any recommendation of a filter to sharpen? I figured you might know since you were processing VHS tapes (made into AVIs) for a library I assume?

Well... I gather it starts @ Q1 (lossless) all the way beyond Q30 in ever decreasing increments of quality...
Unless you're working with RAW AVI or a very high bitrate, possibly Sony Superbit, production then Q18 is considered the lowest level... after this point filesize increases with little-to-no increase in quality...

I really am clueless, especially about filters... you'll have to refer to buzzqw...

You mention VHS tapes... actually our library has quite a large range of DVD's, from mainstream-entertainment, to culturally-orientated movies and documentary material from National Geographic and Discovery Channel etc...

The DVD's are so easily scratched and mal-treated that I considered a DivX or H264 version essential... which can be easily duplicated on 4.5 GB DVD's as necessary... unlike China... we don't have low-cost DVD-duplicating factories for this kind of thing...


:):D:eek:
Pascal

[buzzqw]

@jolson

i have adopted vbs option, the autoit features to hidden/minimize program is already inside automkv.
Now automkv will start a process and then minimize it or start it minimized (all by checking process id)

also, automkv can do a lot is correctly used (and with a bit of knowledge of internals...). I suggest reading the wiki and the changelog. When i introduce a new features a will explain it in changelog... often :)

Unless you're working with RAW AVI or a very high bitrate, possibly Sony Superbit, production then Q18 is considered the lowest level

this is a big error :)

The CRF profile is NOT A CONSTANT QUALITY PROFILE but a CONSTANT RATE FACTOR PROFILE.
What's mean ?

you have a 15000 bitrate hd movie -> crf 18
the dark scenes will probably got a quant of 25
the high motion scenese got a quant of 10
the 18 isn't the median, but the average perceptual quality to achive, isn't like CQ encode of XviD where even at quant 1 some frames look bad, here we are speaking of perceived quality. So the original bitrate is marginal in computation: you could have a "ugly static black wall" at 15000 bitrate in dvd..., what is important is that wall must bu "ugly" (at rate 18) as before

you have a (normal) 4000 bit rate dvd -> crf 18
the dark scenes will got a quant of 25
the high motion got a quant of 10

isn't important the original bitrate but the quality of source and how much must be retained

BHH

[jolson]

I've now looked through bits of wiki/changelog/this thread and also made a small test of the program.

A good test is often to run the program backwards from what it is intended ;) - so I DirectShowSource'd in a short .mkv (with AC3 audio) and set AutoMKV to create an .avi/XviD and keep source audio. I created a short test .srt (with just "START" and "STOP" in it) and added that as an external subtitle file.

I could select the srt file, but saw no indication that it would be used. I specified a lower resolution for the output file, but noticed that I could only give horisontal resolution - not vertical as well, as I would like to.
The input file was 60MB, the output 25MB. Seemed correct, with the lower resolution.
However, despite me selecting "Copy Original" with regards to audio, the input AC3 stream was reencoded to 128kbps mp3.
But the output .avi plays fine, with subtitles, so the external subtitles worked. Just the sound was a problem.

[buzzqw]

I could select the srt file, but saw no indication that it would be used.

that's true and wanted. sorry, no display of external subs selected... (maybe i will change my idea...)

specified a lower resolution for the output file, but noticed that I could only give horisontal resolution - not vertical as well, as I would like to.

true again, you can specify only width, then is autocrop/automkv that computed the height (taken in count ar)
You must use advanced setting for scecifying a width AND height

However, despite me selecting "Copy Original" with regards to audio, the input AC3 stream was reencoded to 128kbps mp3

this is impossible to achive with automkv, no original audio can be extracted and copyed by directshowsource or avi/mkv/ogm... only from mpeg container (vob/ts/mpeg...)

Thanks for your test! :)

How about the advanced audio settings (langauge marking and custom label)? That would be nice.

So the original bitrate is marginal in computation: you could have a "ugly static black wall" at 15000 bitrate in dvd..., what is important is that wall must bu "ugly" (at rate 18) as before

Since this is a perceptual setting, does that mean a movie that is almost all high action (I dunno, kung fu movie) at CRF 18 will be larger than a movie of "Brick walls of Paris" at CRF 18 that are the same length in time? Is that because more of the kung fu film is being encoded at high end range (quantity 10) or is the definition of "quantity 18" different for the more complex action flick verses architecture film.

What does the "ConstantQuality-QP" do?

[buzzqw]

or is the definition of "quantity 18" different for the more complex action flick verses architecture film.
that's right! more complexity more bitrate, lower quant (quant=quantitizer not quantity)

there isn't a configuration file, the list is hard coded BUT after you put the filter dll into \exe\filter you can WRITE in filter list your filter configuration (overwriting what is written), like

http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/MeGUI_FAQ#What.27s_the_difference_between_Constant_Quantizer_and_Constant_Quality
I just noticed that it's an MeGUI Wiki... it's like sleeping with the enemy... it reflects badly if we have to send our guys over to MeGUI for info... when in fact our product, is like, wayy better than their's even with all their financial and intellectual muscle behind them...

I'm sure nx6 could distill the essence and explain it much better in the AutoMKV Wiki... perhaps we can put together some usefull backround material... like 4:2:0 vs 4:2:2 & 8:4:4 Chroma subsampling... which really effects the colour we see...

In some cases a simple link to the main Wikipedia would really do the trick.


:):D:eek:
Pascal

BTW
In regards to "ConstantQuality-QP"... it's a kind of 'Constant Quality for Computers"... they don't perceive subjective differences while watching a movie... at Q18 a brick wall would have the same quality as an action sequence or anything else... the entire encode would be at Q18... with a correspondingly huge filesize... people also notice changes (contrast/luminance) in grayscale more than in colour... hence 4:2:0 chroma subsampling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroma_subsampling).

[BleedingGums]

i'm using .80c - tobytl version and it seems that AutoMKV insists on autocroping even if i have NONE as a resizer set. (0.80b does not suffer from this). Once autocropped, the resolution is not mod16 anymore. which causes encoding problems. I have not gotten around to test to see if this behavior with .80c stops if a resizer and resolution are set.

[buzzqw]

@BleedingGums

open the movie.avs in virtualdub... anche check... anyway in next update if autocrop isn't needed then isn't even included in avs... ;)

Actually if a movie was done in Q18 and the complete movie was a brick wall it be a very small filesize. In constant quality the movie only uses the bits it needs to maintain the same quality from frame to frame; no changes between frames means very few bits; heavy action requires more bits.

Well, I have no doubt that the MeGUI wiki has been around longer than the AutoMKV wiki, so it's going to have more content. I also don't see this as any stupid me>you contest between buzzqw's software (where's this "our" coming from) and MeGUI. They are two things that do roughly the same thing, people will use what they wish to.

I'm sure nx6 could distill the essence and explain it much better in the AutoMKV Wiki...
I haven't even finished rewriting the changelog entries yet. Here's an idea, how about someone else contribute to the Wiki and write this stuff, like someone who knows about it.

one quick question buzzqw

when using Nero aac in stereo mode, should normalization be automatically enabled?

i have found in v0.80b that you have to open the advanced audio options and then click OK to close the advanced options for it add the normalize() to the mkvaudio script

when you open the advanced audio options normalize already has a check in the box but it doesn't seem to apply unless you open the advanced audio options.

[buzzqw]

@AMED

FIXED: An ugly bug that will not trigger normalize() if Advanced Audio Options were opened

this problem was corrected with 0.80b ...

i am unable to replicate the problem... :(

I just started using the special 80c build you released, this being the first one with the "cartoon" and "greyscale" options. I notice these are both listed under "XviD overides". Does that mean they wont work under X264?

XviD offers those options but x264 doesn't (I mean XviD's vfw interface and x264's cli interface). It isn't GUI specific, it's just a matter of supported features by each codec.

[buzzqw]

usually for anime is used the "anime presets" and for greyscale is sufficent to write in "Last avs script" greyscale()

Well, let's say that IF somebody did a 18-CQ-CRF encode of a brick wall... it might be encoded at Q10 WHILE an 18-CQ-QP would insist on Q18 throughout which would still be a small file but the CRF encode would be tiny...
Funny enough I encoded The Deer Hunter without cropping the black-space Top and Bottom and when I re-encoded with a 144 row crop (72 T&B incl 3 overcrop to keep mod 16)... the file was 10% smaller...

It just shows you that even black-space can contribute significantly to filesize.


:):D:eek:
Pascal

[weaver4]

delacroixp: You are correct. I misread the first email and thought you were talking about CRF encode. A CRF encode would be "tiny". My-Bad.

[delacroixp]

I did an anamorphic encode of The Deer Hunter 720x576 PAL/16:9... setting AutoMKV to 'automatic' DAR (mkv container).
Normally the width would morph into 1024 pixels... but because of a column crop of 16 (L&R 8)... AutoMKV signalled a 1015 width...
It didn't seem right to me since (704/720)1024 = 1003.52... so I set MkvMerge at 1004x432... but I'm not sure if black-space morphs in the same way as the actual movie.

Would 16 columns of black space in the VOB remain 16 columns on playback ?

delacroixp: You are correct. I misread the first email and thought you were talking about CRF encode. A CRF encode would be "tiny". My-Bad.

Suggestion, would it be possible to like have a box for the custom avisynth script instead of one line?
Were each line was a new line in the avs script.
Then I could run something like this:
SetMTMode(2, 0)
FluxSmoothT(8)
dull = ColorMatrix(Mode="Rec.601->Rec.709",scaling=2,threads=2)
sharp = dull.SeeSaw(NRlimit=0, NRlimit2=5, Sstr=1.70, Szp=1, Slimit=50, Sdamplo=29, Spower=1, sootheT=0, SdampHi=35)",3)
Soothe(sharp, dull, 5)

or

SetMTMode(2, 0)
ColorMatrix(Mode="Rec.601->Rec.709",scaling=2,threads=2)
a=last
b=FluxSmoothT(8)
SeeSaw(a,b, NRlimit=0, NRlimit2=5, Sstr=1.70, Szp=1, Slimit=50, Sdamplo=29, Spower=1, sootheT=0, SdampHi=35)

I was just thinking about it because I could use a different (and better) script using Soothe, SetMTMode, etc... like that.

Ya know? Just some thinking as I was encoding a few things.

Also, I just realized that that Tobytl problem occurred on mine as well. .81 (or .80d as the title of the program says) fixes it for me :)

Loving the nocolormatrix option.

And what exactly is the "cartoon mode used for"??
Like for encoding cartoons/anime and whatnot?

Keep up the work man, best encoder I ever used.

[buzzqw]

@wizboy11
so you are brave enough ? :)

let's try prove it...

first of all open a movie.avs and take a close look to it, you will note something like
#test1
#test2
#test3
#test4
#test5

go in \exe\filter folder make a copy of base.avs (call it base_std.avs)

open the base.avs in text editor

you will see again these #testX, use this as reference point for your script

so in your base.avs could look like

#loadpluginstart

#test1

#loadpluginend

#importstart

#test2

#importend

#herethesource

#filter1start

#test3

#filter1end

#cropstart

cropclip = autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=40,aspect=0,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0)
fixed_aspect = aspectratio
c_width = width(cropclip)
c_height = Round(height(cropclip) / fixed_aspect)
input_par = float(float(c_width)/float(c_height))
input_par = input_par > 1.4 ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)
out_width = outwidth
out_height = Round(float(out_width) / input_par)
hmod = out_height - (floor(out_height / 16 ) * 16)
out_height = (hmod > 4) ? (out_height + (16 - hmod)) : (out_height - hmod)
new_aspect = (float(out_width) / float(out_height)) / fixed_aspect
autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=40,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0)

#cropend

#resizestart

#test4

#resizeend

#filter2start

#test5
SetMTMode(2, 0)
FluxSmoothT(8)
dull = ColorMatrix(Mode="Rec.601->Rec.709",scaling=2,threads=2)
sharp = dull.SeeSaw(NRlimit=0, NRlimit2=5, Sstr=1.70, Szp=1, Slimit=50, Sdamplo=29, Spower=1, sootheT=0, SdampHi=35)",3)
Soothe(sharp, dull, 5)
#filter2end

do now a new encoding...

this is a one way to proceed, adding a box for editing avs is better... i now... but i won't to take automkv as easy as possible..., so it is better to tweak the base.avs

And what exactly is the "cartoon mode used for"??
xvid as special way of dealing with cartoon/anime source file, this check will enable this options in xvid

It didn't seem right to me since (704/720)1024 = 1003.52... so I set MkvMerge at 1004x432... but I'm not sure if black-space morphs in the same way as the actual movie.

Would 16 columns of black space in the VOB remain 16 columns on playback ?

BTW
I recently discovered a goldmine educational resource in lynda.com (http://lynda.com/)... I went through one of their tutorials on 'Digital Video Principles' which really explains all the fundamentals of PAL, NTSC... 24, 25, 30 fps film/video... chroma subsampling and much more... in a 3hr flash presentation... well worth the investment.

i have added some check for insert avs fuction (as last line)

No Colormatrix (no more need for nocolormatrix file)
Greyscale
MVDenoise
MVDegrain2

any other quick filter to insert ? (better if filter without parameters , so tweak(sat=xxx, hue=yyy...) isn't a good filter... only if i used with fixed parameter)

also added LimitedSharpenFaster as resize with a line like

Limitedsharpenfaster(smode=4,ss_x=1.25, ss_y=1.25, strength=150, overshoot=1,dest_x=out_width,dest_y=out_height)
it's good ?

ok added, simple box like this

there are space for more.. suggestions ?

EDIT: added Limiter()

[TheRyuu]

Thanks :p

That way should work well since I basically use the same script for everything. If you ever do add the box in AutoMKV maybe you can put it in advanced options and have some option called "advanced avisynth script" and old if that box is checked, would the avisynth box come up.

Only an idea but editing the base.avs file will work just fine for me. So if I do edit the base avs file, I would just leave the avisynth filter things in AutoMKV set to "None"?

Also, I was checking out the "Auto" feature in the Custom Matrix thing. For a 2,800kb/s moive, it was using Sharktooth's EQM v3LR.cqm. I thought that LR was for things under 1600kb/s and that v3HR would be better in this situation.

:goodpost: that's right. in that way, modifing the base.avs, the same "modify" is applyend to all encoding

isn't a bitrate issue but quantitizer ratio.
Open the log file and look at compression test: how % is ?
it is over 180% ?

here is the lookup table
Test % -> Matrix
50 "Sharktooth's EQM v3ULR.cqm"
85 "Jawor's 1CD Quantization Matrix.cqm"

@SMD
i will look at this... iirc for x264 is the --sar option ?

BHHYes.... It provides the same thing :)

[weaver4]

I did a few movies using x264 - constant quality CRF. Much to my surprise these movies would not play on Quicktime on my Mac Mini. Played fine with VCL.

This brings up a bigger point. X264 is really broken. You have special encode parameters depending on what you are playing it on. Ipod, Apple TV, quicktime, PS2, PS3, xbox .... At least if you turned off qpel and gmc on XviD it would play on most anything. It appears that Nero has some momentum in that several SAPs are coming out that will play Nero AVC, Nero AVC will play on quick time. So I was wondering if we could have a profile for AutoMKV that is Nero AVC compatible?

[buzzqw]

Ipod, Apple TV, quicktime

Apple.

Apple product are very picky for muxer. If not muxed with compatible software it will throw errors.

it isn't a profile issue.

(let me investigate)

[TheRyuu]

Would there be a way to implement The aoTuV Ogg Vorbis audio encoder? (if it isn't used already for ogg encoding??)

I've read that the aoTuV version has better quality at almost all the bitrate levels compared to regular OggVorbis, mp3, and everything else.

Thanks.

Also, I found out something interesting. This is for dual core machines which gives a pretty nice speed boost. Only tested it in xvid so far.
I got one HUGE speed boost (especially on the first pass with xvid) if I added "SetMTMode(2, 0)" (w/o quotes) to the base.avs to make it look like this:
#loadpluginstart

#test1

#loadpluginend

#importstart

#test2
SetMTMode(2, 0)

#importend
SetMTMode(2, 0)

#herethesource

#filter1start

#test3
SetMTMode(2, 0)

#filter1end

#cropstart

cropclip = autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=40,aspect=0,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0)
fixed_aspect = aspectratio
c_width = width(cropclip)
c_height = Round(height(cropclip) / fixed_aspect)
input_par = float(float(c_width)/float(c_height))
input_par = input_par > 1.4 ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)
out_width = outwidth
out_height = Round(float(out_width) / input_par)
hmod = out_height - (floor(out_height / 16 ) * 16)
out_height = (hmod > 4) ? (out_height + (16 - hmod)) : (out_height - hmod)
new_aspect = (float(out_width) / float(out_height)) / fixed_aspect
autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=40,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0)

#cropend

#resizestart

#test4
SetMTMode(2, 0)

#resizeend

#filter2start

#test5
SetMTMode(2, 0) <---REMOVE IF YOU NOT GONNA USE AN AVISYNTH FILTER (it will cause it to be a bad script and crash)

#filter2end


Doing that gave me one big speed boost on the first xvid pass and a little bit more on the second pass as well.

Might be a nice trick if you have a dual core machine and want a speed improvement.
I'm not sure, but you might only need the first SetMTMode since that might make it apply to the rest of the script.

That also made it better use both cores having nearly 100% use of both of them instead of ~50% use of both of them (or 100% of ONLY ONE core on a dual core machine)

[buzzqw]

it is already the aoTuV (2.83) with Blacksword speedup

on next full update i will update the build to latest one!

i will include only the SSE build, if someone has a more powerfull processor feel free to download the appropriate build here http://homepage3.nifty.com/blacksword/

About MT... i can include some options... :) nice hint!

Alright thanks. I kinda thought it was the aoTuV one since it used the whole numbers and not the -q thing like the regular Vorbis encoder does.

I was pretty shocked at the amount of speed that I gained by doing that especially on the first pass.

Also, I wonder if it could be applied to some of the other avs scripts... :)

Edit:
The first time I tried the SetMTMode it was only on my SeeSaw script but then I got the idea to try it on the whole thing. And thats what did it. One time though xvid_encraw crashed only because I didn't choose a avisynth filter and under #test5, was only the "SetMTMode(2 ,0)" which I gather made it crash so watch out for that.

Edit2:
On the AoTuV site, I'm gonna want to download the Dynamic Library version right? (it has the oggenc2 exe in it??)
(in my case it would be the sse3MT)

[buzzqw]

i am reading the documentation of MT...
wouldn't so simply integrate... because not all filter works well.. the bottleneck part of script are the deinterlace and the resize, but mostly the deinterlace part (if needed)

some test must be done to verify if MTi("leakkerneldeint()") works and so the other deinterlacer...
moreover even the avisynth.dll must be substituted... :rolleyes: don't know if could be so easy implemented...
it is surely a very nice and useful trick (to put in wiki) but it surely needed users with some knowledge...

About OGGENC use this build http://homepage3.nifty.com/blacksword/oggenc283_sse3mt_lancer20061110.zip if you have SSE3MT: Multi-threading version of SSE3 for Athlon64X2, Pentium D, Core Duo(Dual), Core2 Duo(Conroe & Merom core)

Thats what I was thinking as well. Like add it to the wiki as some advanced tweak.
I've read that using SetMTMode(2, 0) (or just the 2) is the most compatible.

Edit:
Got a quick question.
I noticed new HybridFuPP resize options. What are they and how do they compare to more conventional resizers like spline36?

Thanks :)

Edit2:
some test must be done to verify if MTi("leakkerneldeint()") works and so the other deinterlacer...

I thought that using something like this was more the standard:
SetMTMode(2, 0)
leakkernaldeint()

instead of what you were saying:
MTi("leakkerneldeint()")

But I really wouldn't know for sure. Thats just what I remember reading plus the SetMTmode would work for the whole script instead of having to surround everything with MT()

[buzzqw]

I've read that using SetMTMode(2, 0) (or just the 2) is the most compatible.

yes... i will do some test ...
if positive i could add a check for enable MT for deinterlacers (i think only for pure deinterlacer not for decimanting/ivtc/hybrid source...)... but users must first substitute the avisynth.dll and pray for no crash :D

EDIT: HybridFuPP is both a resizer and a filters. An ALL in One! Very good resizer (mostly similar to lanczos) and very well studied suite of denoiser. Basing of quality of source is possible to select the correct preset.
An HybridFuPP HybridQ is like a bilinear resize + some strong denoisers (so no need for any other denoiser)
A good approach is to use HQ presest and one light other denoiser (degrainmedian, removegrain..)

BHH

[buzzqw]

But I really wouldn't know for sure. Thats just what I remember reading plus the SetMTmode would work for the whole script instead of having to surround everything with MT()

i suppose that enclosing specific filter maybe more stable and secure...

i suppose, again, that some combination of filters doesn't fuction (like fft3dfilter)

BHH

yes... i will do some test ...

BHH

I tried using the settings "interlaced" and "Hybrid" field order with HQ checked it it didn't seem to be using MT. But the script didn't crash either.

And I haven't test ANY of these in x264, only xvid so far.

So you're correct and I kinda figured that not all filters would work.

Thanks.

Edit:
HybridFuPP wasn't working and I think it's because you didn't add the HybridFuPP.avsi filter into the filter folder yet.

[buzzqw]

hybridfupp will be ok in next full update... i had already done the code change... but in package (0.80spc) i haven't included all filters/scripts needed

BHH

[TheRyuu]

SetMTMode keeps crashing xvid_encraw so I guess it wasn't as good as it all seemed :p

Even if I restrict SetMTMode to the resizer and avisynth filter, it'll still crash...

Oh well, I guess it might need some further investigating but it was nice while it lasted. :)

Edit:
I'm doing some testing which in the base.avs file I turned on and off SetMTMode around certain parts and I'll see if that works.

Edit2:
Well, after a little bit of testing (ok, 1 encode) I finally got a script that didn't crash. This is only with xvid. This is for dual core, quad core, or hypertheaded CPU's.

#make sure to delete all this explaining stuff.

#filter2end

Anyone who wants to try it out, keep in mind that it is experimental and unstable but I think I've gotten it to not crash. (although it crashing seems random too...)
It seemed to work with a Interlaced Video (TFF, HQ checked) with a custom SeeSaw script at the end. If your not gonna use an avisynth filter script at the end delete that last MT() thing or it will not work.

Edit3:
Updated it only to add in (2, 0) to the SetMTMode so that it will detect the threads to use (so quad core will use 4, dual core 2).
Tested it on a number of different configs using fastest xvid thing. Worked well. Only thing that doesn't really gain anything is if the source is hybrid/party film. That went pretty slow compared to the others.

Seemed pretty stable.

[TheRyuu]

I made a wiki out of it:
http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Advanced_Multi-threading

Not sure were to put it on the main wiki page.

[nx6]

It's a specialized tweak. It shouldn't be on the main page.

The main page could use a more general table-of-contents like area leading into sections for individual topics, I get the impression from following a few links that there are some very informative pages on the Wiki, but you would miss them because they are only liked to by a couple other articles. So unless you're reading information about a topic and the page you're reading links to these articles, or you know the name of the article itself, you wouldn't have any idea these pages existed.

I also think the "Help" link in the navigational box should lead to a Q/A type page for help with problems using AutoMKV, instead of the manual. If someone is looking for help I would assume they had already read the manual for assistance.

That is a nice page you made, though.

I put it under Software Requirements and Installation (http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Help:Contents#Software_Requirements_and_Installation) and created an Advanced usage section.

I thought it fit well there.
Oh yea, and by speed boost I mean this:
http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/307/fastqb4.jpg

Thats with progressive source, xvid extra slow, and FluxSmoothT(8) and I think Colormatrix, Spline36 to 640x480 and of course my MT script.
I have no idea if thats how fast it would've been without MT but I doubt it would be that fast.

Hi buzzqw,

I'm having problems with the Anamorphic Encoding in Automkv.

whenever i play the resulting movie in VLC it is bigger than the original DVD

The resolution reported by mkvtoolnix for the display height/width is 1134 x 576. If i manually change from display height/width to aspect ratio 16:9 and save it the video is the same size as the dvd source and looks fine.
I'm running the same source through again to make sure there is a problem.

Well... it looks like you've cropped Top=70 and Bottom=74 ... and since your width is unchanged, all-else being equal, the DAR resolution should be 1024x432. It might be usefull also, to reset your aspect-ratio in VLC.

Another way to see the dimensions is to view folder as 'details' and then activate the dimensions field (mkv seams to be well supported by MS... unlike divx files)... even the duration can be usefull at times.
buzzqw has included a custom anamorphic Width*Height option and along with SeeMoreDigital's Aspect Ratio Signalling (ARS) Calculation Tool (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=107039) you'll be pretty much set for success in the future...

Anamorphic-to-DAR calculations can get pretty hairy at times when width-cropping is involved... not recommended for the feint-of-heart.

Here is the new full package !!! 0.81!

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV081.rar
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV081_NORIP.rar

0.81 16/04/2007 Full Package
ADDED: GreyScale and Carton Mode to XviD (look on Advanced Profiles editing)
ADDED: Is now possible to encode audio file to WMA audio. Just select your wav/ac3/mp3... input file, select wmv container and WVC1 profile for WMAPro or Quick profile for WMASTD (like 1_Pass_CBR.xml from WMAPRO and 1_Pass_CBR_Quick.xml for WMASTD, or use Advanced Audio Options)
ADDED: In Advanced profile editing some avisynth check
No Colormatrix, MVDenoise, MVDegrain2 (suggestion by wizboy11)
ADDED: LimitedSharpenFaster as resizer the resize string is like Limitedsharpenfaster(smode=4,ss_x=1.25, ss_y=1.25, strength=150, overshoot=1,dest_x=out_width,dest_y=out_height)
ADDED: FFmpeg as muxer. Will be avaiable in Advanced Settings only when selecting avi container (suggestion by FrieWiled)
ADDED: Check Crop values button, it will control that values are MOD4 or MOD2 (suggestion by delacroixp)
ADDED: Removed some resizers and added some other. HybridFuPP is a combination of resizer and filters.
ADDED: External subtitles are now saved to queue.
Note: When working with MKV are possible to load more then one subtitles. Just browse for these files and select one at time. Every time you will click on ADD to Queue the external subtitles will be saved and reset (check opening the queueXXX.ini). Also remember that external subtitle are remembered between consecutive encoding, for freeing simply open the external sub window and click cancel without selection any file
ADDED: Is now possible to encode audio to WMA without muxing to WMV (so you can build x264+wma muxed in mkv) (alpha, to test). Remember also that actually that neither mkvmerge or mp4box can mux wma audio (yes... pretty useless features... ;) )
ADDED: Possibility to use custom PAR on X264
ADDED: Possibility to use custom PAR on XviD
ADDED: Sar option to X264 profiles (actually valorized only in in Ipod/QuickTime)
ADDED: On Ipod profiles (Ipod and Ipod 5.5) the width is proposed at 640
ADDED: Changed Mp4Box.exe with NicMp4Mux.exe. Same compatibility and support for Apple
ADDED: Changed FFmpeg.exe encoding. Now in Advanced Settigs is possible to select the encoding (also memorized on queue)
ADDED: FFmpeg.exe can now encode to mpeg4
ADDED: FFmpeg.exe can now encode to h264
FIXED: When encoding to FFmpeg.exe audio switch to mp3 lame (just for set correctly the audio bitrate)
FIXED: Using FFmpeg.exe to encode for "msmpeg4v2" wasn't correctly move the file to destination folder
FIXED: Changed in WMV9 profiles the audio codec to wmapro
FIXED: On WMV the Quality for Autoresize is now 90
FIXED: -v_percopt usage on WMV profiles
FIXED: Use of -v_mslevel with new WMCmd.vbs
FIXED: In Advanced Audio Options is now memorized (on job queueing) the language (thanks to nx6)
FIXED: Removed some unused code
FIXED: When encoding to WMV with no audio, the audio options isn't included in command string
FIXED: Revisited WMV profiles name
FIXED: Now WMV encoding will pre-process audio to WAV (2 channels) and then will feed this wav to WMcmd encoder
FIXED: Changed a little bit the calculation of WMV bitrate. Will be less prone to oversize
FIXED: Movie deinterlacer before autocrop (suggestion by Tobytl)
FIXED: When AutoCrop isn't needed isn't more added to avs
FIXED: Queuing the same subtitles more than one time cause a multiple quotes to appear and break the queue. (thanks to nx6)
FIXED: Process this IFO wasn't selectable before input choice
FIXED: X264 Ipod profiles (??? need testing)
UPDATE: Downgraded DGindex to 1.4.8 (should fix all problem with tivtc ), mvtools 1.6.2,HybridFuPP 0.96, WMCmd.vbs 14/04/2007, oggenc 2.8.3 lancer aoTuV b5 (SSE needed)

Nice !

So you are not going to add a gui option to specify the video frame rate ?

I know about the avs command line, but this is not end user friendly...

What does it all mean...
It certainly looks like a variety of statistical quantizers are being used... all the way from Q10 to Q34...

Stupid question here: what is the numerical range for the ConstantQuality-CRF profile quality scale? I'm been thinking of trying something higher in quality than 18.

Unless you're working with RAW AVI or a very high bitrate, possibly Sony Superbit, production then Q18 is considered the lowest level
this is a big error :)

The CRF profile is NOT A CONSTANT QUALITY PROFILE but a CONSTANT RATE FACTOR PROFILE.



You got me thinking about quality levels above Q18-CRF... I know that buzzqw mentioned that the CQ-CRF-profile is a CONSTANT RATE FACTOR PROFILE and Q18 isn't even an average quality but merely a nominal figure where the average quality could be 2-levels less at Q20... as in the case of the above AVInaptic analysis of a Q23-CQ-CRF encode... and the actual quality can range from Q10 to Q34...
However, Q18-CQ-CRF is still the lowest setting generally used for this profile unless you're encoding RAW AVI as source-material for future projects and would prefer to use, possibly, Q16-CQ-CRF...


So I tried Q18-CQ-CRF on DAR resolution (1024x576) comparing the results to a Q18-CQ-CRF Anamorphic (720x576) encode and to the VOB-original...

Anamorphic Text http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_Text_Anamorphic.png ... DAR http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_Text_DAR.png ... VOB http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_Text_VOB.png

Nobody is interested in great looking text... but it is a relative indicator of the quality of the rest of the encode... look especially at the bottom of the angled leg of the capital R...


Then I also used VLC Player to take snapshots during the movie...

Anamorphic http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_ Anamorphic_Thumb.jpg (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_Anamorphic.png) ... DAR http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_DAR_Thumb.jpg (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_DAR.png) ... VOB http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_VOB_Thumb.jpg (http://souls-online.net/delacroixp/AutoMKV/BoB/BoB_VOB.png)

If you download the VLC snapshots and watch the jeep, particularly between the Anamorphic and DAR encode... the clarity and detail will just jump right out at you...


This DAR quality, however, does not come cheep... the Anamorphic encode is 45% less-than the VOB while the DAR encode is only 24% less-than the VOB original... and encodes times are also 25% slower. A further consideration is that Q18-Anamorphic may equate to Q19 or even Q20-DAR and your movie has been correctly resized during encode rather than, in realtime on plaback... where quality may suffer...

I used the Lanczos4 resize filter though there may well be a filter better suited since the movie hasn't been resized, as much as, re-mapped to it's originally intended resolution.

Is it worth it... well that's up to you...

Yes, Avidemux. You can go to any frame number and then save the frame (menu/save)

Latest unstable windows devel version is here (the devel version is nice as it includes the latest codec versions, use the official version if you get bugs):

Another alternative would be Media Player Classic.

That way, you don't have to install anything.

It seems that using the Auto mode for deinterlacer doesn't seem to analyze the movie right.

I know for a fact that the move is 29fps with it being 3p/2i so 3/2 pull down is needed (not sure what you call it. IVTC? Inverse Tech something... not that video literate here but you get the point right?)

However, for some reason, the deinterlacer is using Party Film with a hybrid field. Both are wrong. I also know that it is TFF and requires the decimating filter. Luckily I know how to see a 3/2 film (it ain't hard, just look at the video in step mode in MPC to see the 3p frames and 2i frames in a pattern).

How come the auto deinterlacer isn't analyzing it correctly?? Or is it just not perfect when it comes to everything :)

[ricardo.santos]

Ive been trying AutoMKV but i always used to get errors while testing it, this is actually the first version that doesnt give me any errors:

i used a 5 minute vob and a target size of 50 Mg to test it against AutoGk, StaxRip,Avi.Net,Fairuse WIZARD,vIRTUALdUB Mod using Xvid, all using same audio/video settings.

1-AutoMkv was the only producing an undersized file (42mg) all the others were right on, the quality at 42 mg was good but so were the others when i also tested them at 42mg.

2- AutoMkv took 35% more time to encode the same file. AutoGk was faster even with the Compcheck test

3- AutoMkv was the one that took more time to setup, StaxRip his fully customazible but has a more user friendly GUI, my opinion anyway. too many tabs and drop down menus.

It has potential with all the choice of codecs, but i will stick with Autogk/avi.Net for my xvid backups. Keep up the good work

[gonwk]

Hi folks,

@ Ricardo ... first of all I have to inform you that I am not at all Video expert ... just point & click type of a person ...

but is anyone of the ones that you mentioned "Portable" meaning all applications needed "Contained" in it's own little folder ...

I can tell you that is why I won't have "AutoGK" on my computer ... and I have never been able to use "Staxrip" ...

G!

@wizboy11
more then ofte appear this problem... i must "tune" better bautodeint...

@nx6
kay, I'm having issues with the new build

UPDATE: Downgraded DGindex to 1.4.8 (should fix all problem with tivtc )

most probably you have done VTS_01_0.d2v with 1.49 beta xxx BUT now i downgrade dgindex to resolve most of issue with ivtc.
Re-DgIndex your sample :)

@ricardo.santos
i used a 5 minute vob and a target size of 50 Mg to test it against AutoGk, StaxRip,Avi.Net,Fairuse WIZARD,vIRTUALdUB Mod using Xvid, all using same audio/video settings.

the problem is VFW Vs XviD_EncRaw. XviD_Encraw isn't so precise to hit final size... most depends on imin/imax/pmin/pmax...

AutoMkv took 35% more time to encode the same file

most probably is interlaced. AutoGK deinterlace AFTER cropping, AutoMKV deinterlace BEFORE cropping, so some chroma aberration doesn't appear

AutoMkv was the one that took more time to setup,
... automkv is a three click application.. launch it, browse your file, click start

It has potential with all the choice of codecs, but i will stick with Autogk/avi.Net for my xvid backups. Keep up the good work

thanks ricardo! i will try to make automkv better and better ! :)

Well, that might have been part of the problem, but it's still failing to encode. I just now made a new d2v sample from the original VOBs.

I saw an error flash up real fast just before the job "finished" but I wasn't sure what was running when it happened. If you know I can rerun from DOS and give you the output.

[delacroixp]

Perhaps 'Original' could be set to mean 'DAR Original' and perhaps, 'AutoCrop Only' could be set to mean 'DAR AutoCrop Only'...
This would avoid the confusion amongst MP4v users you can't do anamorphic encodes inherently.

MKV users should probably resort to manual anamorphic encodes because of the complexities of calculating the correct DAR... especially when width-cropping has been implemented...

Bleach has over 100 episodes and Drogonball Z has almost 300 episodes.

That would be exactly what I'm doing. I haven't been thrilled with the quality of the DVD releases, though. The video has this slight blurriness to it. That is why I was asking about sharpening filters last week. There also are few extras (not that I'm heavy into extra content).

Meanwhile, I was watching Full Metal Alchemist last week, and they have a 5.1 English track in addition to the normal 2.0 channel Eng and Jap. and two angles for each episode so you can see all the credits and such in whichever language you choose.

Speaking of being sharper...
@buzzwq

I notice you're including the MSharpen filter (http://neuron2.net/msharpen/msharpen.html) in AutoMKV now. That's funny, that was the same filter I was adding to my set (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=988043&postcount=1832) for v080b a few days ago. :D

[delacroixp]

I'm been thinking of trying something higher in quality than 18. Also, any recommendation of a filter to sharpen? I figured you might know since you were processing VHS tapes (made into AVIs) for a library I assume?
Try 17-CQ-CRF... I certainly am, especially after seeing the kind of results that can be achieved with AutoMKV and H264.

I prefer '1 disc - 1 movie' and often a 10 or 20% reduction will do the trick... even including the original AC3 audio track(s)... actually, I've had a very real problem converting AC3-surround to MP4-surround... the BeSweet-to-WAV conversion is flawless but the WAV-to-MP4 crashes instantly... any thoughts...

After seeing Q18-DAR results... I'm iching to try Q17-Anamorphic, maybe even Q16... it's like a desease, an affliction, I'm hooked and addicted... please help...

Cya... compie's calling... got to go... again... (it's the Aliens)* : .

I've already tried that. I didn't see much difference (but I was using anime as a test, and I imagine it would have a greater impact on a movie).

[buzzqw]

@nx6

got it, is due to no filters at all applyed (and no colormatrix... )

fixed in next update... now apply at least a filter or as last line avs write "return last"

BHH

@buzzqw

The encode is running right now, so you have found it. Thank you for your prompt response.

Is it okay to use the SSE2 version of NeroAACEnc? I just realized today one exists, and was going to use it and just rename it to match the original filename AutoMKV is looking for on startup.

Also, probably wont effect any normal projects, but I noticed DGIndex is set to rip the main audio track only by default right now, not rip all tracks like previously. It caught me off guard when I made my test over again and only got one audio track to use when it finished building the new d2v file.

[buzzqw]

Is it okay to use the SSE2 version of NeroAACEnc

no prob at all!
even more substitute the removegrain.dll with sse2/sse3 avaiable (and all dll that have more powerfull version)

not rip all tracks like previously
this behavior isn't changed... dgindex will switch to demux alla tracks only if request or if the requested track isn't found...

BHH

[buzzqw]

update 0.81a

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV081a.exe

0.81a 17/04/2007
ADDED: Varius way of changing fps in Advanced Avisynth. Note all but MVFlowFps and MVFlowFps2 want fps expressed as "Numerator,Denominator". Note MVFlowFps and MVFlowFps2 have a fixed denominator of 100, so simply write 2500 for 25 fps
FIXED: The avs will not return clip if no resizer, no colormatrix , no deinterlacer and no filter used (thanks to nx6)

If your looking for a good sharpening filter I think that you really can't go wrong with SeeSaw.

Example of a Seesaw scipt:
SeeSaw(NRlimit=0, NRlimit2=5, Sstr=1.70, Szp=1, Slimit=50, Sdamplo=29, Spower=1, sootheT=0, SdampHi=35)

The Sstr value is for the amount of sharpening. 1.70 is really high though, especially with the standard seesaw script that comes with AutoMKV. Might want to try a value of 1.5 or lower.

Like use something like this:
FluxSmoothT(8).SeeSaw(NRlimit=0, NRlimit2=5, Sstr=1.50, Szp=1, Slimit=50, Sdamplo=29, Spower=1, sootheT=0, SdampHi=35)

SeeSaw can do wonders :)
Also check out some stuff here. (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=719041&page=1&pp=30)
And the 8:13 guy on the above page customized the SeeSaw.avsi to produce less ringing and it's in the DVD Package on the page. With that you might be able to get away with 1.5 Sstr value but that sort of gave me ringing.

I have added a dedicated page on the Wiki that covers the installation of AutoMKV.

I've already tried that. I didn't see much difference (but I was using anime as a test, and I imagine it would have a greater impact on a movie).
I tried Q16-Anamorphic, I saw the difference and I conquered...

Funny thing is, though, it's no better than Q18-Anamorphic, the filesize is equal to Q18-DAR... It's as though Q18 is the quality limit, per pixel, but by encoding in DAR resolution you give it more pixels to work with and the quality goes up another notch... try and C 4 yourself...

Conclusion... Q18-DAR is better quality... Q18-Anamorphic is better filesize...

Beautifully laid out... and nicely explained... which reminded me about the RemoveGrainSSE2.dll which I hadn't done...
I'm running Q16-Anamorphic again since I use RemoveGrainSSE2.dll and the encode didn't seam quite happy the first time...

Too many FPS...

Yeah, I was thinking about these occasional performance tweaks that are mentioned in the forums and are quickly lost within the hundred or so pages that make up the thread. I realize the installation page is repeating information that already makes up the first section of the full manual, but covering it in the detail I did seems to be too much info to not warrant a separate article for it (kinda like when you get a new stereo component and they have a "quick start guide" that gives you the installation steps without having to thumb through the whole manual.

Plus it gives a place to additional links pointing to other info (like the multithread article).

Nice! :thanks: ---- but did you leave out the WMEncoder installation?

Quoting from the first post in this thread:

For WVC1 support is needed WMEncoder (9 serie's) + Windows Media Player 11
for trouble look at this thread http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=911873

[nx6]

Nice! :thanks: ---- but did you leave out the WMEncoder installation?

That's the great thing about a wiki, anyone can contribute so when I leave something out then someone else can pick up the ball. :D

I just read through the thread and I'm looking for a link to post to the wiki to get the required software and I'm not finding it.

They mention this site:
http://www.citizeninsomniac.com/WMV/#WMCmd

but there doesn't appear to be anything there. It's just a blank sky blue page for me. :confused:

I guess I'll go on Microsoft's site looking for the SDK download.

[nx6]

Okay, I've added the WVC1 stuff in, or made an good effort at least. It would be nice if someone who actually is using the Windows Media encoding could review/correct/add to it as I did not install any of the components myself, since I have no intention of ever using them.

Have there been any changes made recently in the deinterlacing routines? I'm getting some interlacing issues that I wasn't with 0.80b.

[buzzqw]

0.81
FIXED: Movie deinterlacer before autocrop (suggestion by Tobytl)

this is for NOT having problem!

what issue have you ?

I'm getting interlacing patterns in areas of action. Like here (person running).
http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/9586/vlcsnap15977rg2.th.jpg (http://img48.imageshack.us/my.php?image=vlcsnap15977rg2.jpg)

I reinstalled and ran tests with both 0.80 and 0.80b and had the same problem though, so it's not the version of AutoMKV.

Can the length of a D2V effect how well deinterlacing works? The earlier encodes without this problem were full episodes, but when I started using these 2-3 minute samples is when I started to see this.

Hi folks,

I was wondering if somehow the "Profiles" can be associated with Quality Size ... for amatuers (beginners) like myself. It would probably be easier to see something like any one of the following options ...

Option 1: 100% or 75% ... or something like

Option 2: Best, Better, Good range ... or

Option 3: A very brief explaination of Profiles in the Wiki ... in a "Simple" lingo.

Thanks,
G!:)

I just read through the thread and I'm looking for a link to post to the wiki to get the required software and I'm not finding it.

They mention this site:
http://www.citizeninsomniac.com/WMV/#WMCmd


Good job on the WVC1 wiki addition. The correct link for the latest WMcmd.vbs is http://citizeninsomniac.com/WMV/WMCmd_20070414.zip
but as you say this is provided with AutoMKV so it doesn't have to be installed. This link is from the thread started by Zambelli on this script (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=974126#post974126) (which AFAIK he authors, or at least maintains). The link you mentioned is dead for me too -- correction: just tried it and it's good now.

No. Actually buzzqw rewrote it later on, his version was much less confusing. :)

Yeah, it's working for me now, too.

I'm getting interlacing patterns in areas of action. Like here (person running).

Or here where the view is panning...

I reinstalled and ran tests with both 0.80 and 0.80b and had the same problem though, so it's not the version of AutoMKV.

Can the length of a D2V effect how well deinterlacing works? The earlier encodes without this problem were full episodes, but when I started using these 2-3 minute samples is when I started to see this.

Open the original movie in MPC or some other movie player that you can use some sort of step by step frame in.

If you notice 3 progressive frames followed by 2 interlaced frames then AutoMKV probably is not detecting it correctly and it is also probably not detecting the field order right either.

Open the same file (if possible) in DGIndex and see the field order. If you can't open it in DGIndex then most of the time you can assume it is TFF.

If it is the case and you do have 3p/2i frames then you need to use the Decimating deinterlacer using (probably) TFF for the field order.

That might help but only if it is 3/2 like that. If it is pure interlaced then I'm not sure.

This wasn't playing correctly on MPC. The video was running at about 1/8 correct speed while audio sounded fine. The interlacing pattern isn't constant. During the running segment it was staying at 4p-1i, but that changes to 3p-1i and then 2p-1i at some points.

[buzzqw]

update 0.81b
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV081b.exe

ADDED: More info about deinterlace in Log file
ADDED: On Advanced settings "Allow Hybrid Order/Pattern". If NOT allowed the "partly film", "partly interlaced", "Hybrid Order" will switch to "Film", "Interlaced" and majority order (bff/tff). This check is added because these kind of file aren't common but on short source the auto-detection could fail an so will set these value. If you know that your source belong to anime or bad NTSC tranfer check this value, otherwise DON'T CHECK
ADDED: On Advanced Setting "Test Deint" it will run the usual deinterlace test and will report the information. It will also set the deinterlace pattern
FIXED: Some issue on Deinterlace routines
FIXED: Some code optimization

Eh, I'd try the decimating deinterlacer for the hell of it. See what it gets you :p

(2001) I thought I would take a few minutes to put a few things into perspective, especially for the newer participants to this forum (and have a little fun doing it).

Let's go back to the early part of 2001. At that time only a few, very proficient people could backup a dvd to svcd. It was a mind-boggling concoction of different programs, many of which worked poorly. To be able to hand make a svcd backup was close to an art. It was extremely new, difficult, and more importantly, terribly time consuming. It was not unusual for a backup to take a week of evenings to finish.

Along comes DVD2SVCD the author. He did a fairly quick down and dirty hack to be able to automate some of the stuff we were doing manually so in the wee hours of the morning a process could be completed and another begun automatically. That was a terrific thing for those of us who could do all the steps and we were VERY appreciative of what he did.

Now comes the blessing or the curse depending on your perspective :)
Many more features were added and DVD2SVCD became a feature packed robust program a long way from its humble origin. Doing a backup became much easier and so began to attract less experienced users. These users not only had less computer experience, they also had much less "board" experience in an online community and some did not understand forum manners.

Why is that a curse to some? Well let me answer that question, with a question. If somebody stops by your house and brings a nice pie, do you say to that person, "You FOOL!!!, WHY did you bring me a cherry pie, I WANTED an APPLE PIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [edited for language - 2001 was a different time than now regarding language on this board]

Btw, to the newer folks, note how irritating the caps and exclamation marks are (besides the content). (See this post about that) (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51632) So, from the perspective of many of the older members of this group, DVD2SVCD was nice enough to bring us a great pie (without being asked). That was a neighborly thing to do, yes? Even if I didn't like cherry pie, I would not offend my neighbor by suggesting I just was not satisfied with what he brought me. If I did, I could count on getting no more free pie :) Everybody with me? LOL

Now here is the problem, the pie is good, free and in demand. The chef is getting stressed out trying to keep all his old and new friends in great tasting pie. In short, it is becoming a pain in the ass for the pie maker. Adding to that, most will not even do him the courtesy of buying a little flour and eggs by way of making a small donation. They just want the free pie AND THEY WANT TO BITCH ABOUT IT. Amazing!

The moral of this story is: if you like free pie, but not this weeks flavor, keep your pie hole shut about it, or you may not get the chance to try next weeks flavor. Or you can go bake your own, of course. If you do, I strongly suggest you don't start baking for all your neighbors. It is way too stressful. :)

I am certainly one of those newer participants on this forum... few are newer than I.

I guess 2001 was the time of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2001:_A_Space_Odyssey_(film)) and also when a few elite programmers and geeks were 'one-eyed kings in the land of the blind'... possibly like the early days of cars in the 20's when you could have any colour model-T... as long as it was black. Now everybody wants a custom paint job.
One of my first lessons on Economics 101 was that "there is no such thing as a free lunch'... everyone pays the price for getting 'fat on free food' and 'drunk on free drink'.

Making free pie for the neighbours, be it cherry or apple, is certainly a magnanamous gesture that few, like the good Samaritan, can sustain for the long-haul... We are all one-nighters looking for ever-increasing degrees of reward...
OSS projects like UNIX© are not inherently beter than CS projects like Windows© and MS's approach in general...

Either way it takes special people (like buzzqw or Bill Gates) to excel at one or the other...


:):D:eek:

btw
The moral of the story is: If everyone is getting free pie, from competing home bakers... then it might well be the right time to diversify into organic health foods or cheese cake...

I had requested the same thing to the AutoGK group last year it was not accepted very well by that group, maybe it will be better received by this group.

I had said that how would anyone know that for XviD that 55% is poor, 67% is good, and 75% is excellent. And for Divx poor is 40%, good is 50% and 67% is excellent. What basis would people (newbies) know this? For that matter how would anyone know what the correlation is between codecs, quantizer and quality.

If someone hands me a video they might say "I need a good copy of this video, I need for it to play in XXXX and I need it to fit on a CD." Why isn't that the way encoding tools work.

Might be something you could do with profiles? Like:

> XviD -- Constant Quality - Fair
> XviD -- Constant Quality - Good
> XviD -- Constant Quality - Very Good
> XviD -- Constant Quality - Excellent

> AVC -- Constant Quality - Fair
> AVC -- Constant Quality - Good
> AVC -- Constant Quality - Very Good
> AVC -- Constant Quality - Excellent

> WMV -- Constant Quality - Fair
> WMV -- Constant Quality - Bad
> WMV -- Constant Quality - Worse
> WMV -- Constant Quality - Just Awful

[weaver4]

Buzz, I know you don't want to do this, but for the world that does not visit doom9 the most "known" coded is DivX. DivX certification is on at least 2 DVD players on every major retailers shelf. I don't think the common user understands they can use XviD encoding on a DivX player as long turn off GMC and QPEL.

Plus this link has put DivX in a whole new light, right or wrong.

[buzzqw]

about quality preset... those are present !

look at advanced settings Specify Quality

yes, i undestand that some profile could be "easier" to spot and use... but if add those list the profile list go very long.. and i think that isn't good

about divx... i had say that divx stay out.
well, i usually change opinion quite easy.. but not now, or not early

and btw ... look at this (working on)

Hey, that's pretty cool.

Your new build didn't help my interlacing problems (tried the new deinterlacing feature), but I will keep working on it here. I had a paper to write yesterday and was unable to focus on encoding video much.

It seems very weird that back on April 9th encoding did not result in these interlacing problems with the same series, but now it does, and even when I go back to the version of AutoMKV I was using back then, I still have issues. I also tried a different series of anime, and had the same problem. In this case I was using IFO input and had ripped by chapter in DVDFabDecryter to separate the individual episodes. I had an odd looping skip in the resulting file, even worse than the d2v input with the other series. It caused an audio skip and grey screen to flicker in output, it wasn't even watchable.

Does DGIndex have any system files it creates/installs when it runs? I'm wondering if even though you downgraded DGIndex back to the non-beta version, there are still some files the beta version created that are being used by the older version and creating problems.

[Unrealbr]

I'm having a bit of issues with 0.80b and 0.81b.
I set it to auto-encode in a res but its strangely swaping the height with the width.
What could be causing this problem and how to solve it?
T/Y for all your effort buzzqw

PS:
It looks like when its muxing it screws the res coz the temp files are alright. :(

[buzzqw]

you must look at log of "good" encoding and spoot what deinterlacer was used... then replicate in automkv
i don't know the source file... so i cannot help.

manual crop ?
post the script, also open the script in virtualdub ... any errors or artifacts ?

since is a muxing issue is most probably your sorce is an avi or mpeg4 file... try forcing muxing aspect ratio! :)

P.S.: On CQ-CRF profile, the width is back to going to '720' instead of 'Original' like you had fixed in 0.80.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all of your Hard Work!

And I LOVE AutoMKV for the simple fact is "PORTABLE" ...

G!:thanks:

Almost.


Added ability for AutoMKV to ask to copy libsndfile-1.dll into c:\windows\system32 as needed for SoundOut to function.


AutoMKV will not run if SoundOut cannot function, and if you do not have administrative access to your PC, you cannot write to c:\windows\system32, and SoundOut cannot run. So it isn't truly portable, as a portable app would be self-contained and be capable of running from its folder, ragardless of whether it was on a boot drive or not.

I do believe AutoMKV could be a portable app with very little work by buzz and the other package maintainers, though.

[branko]

I tried this program for the first time yesterday. I noticed that the 1-pass with x264 is a lot slower compared to other programs I use (Megui or Staxrip). I think it is because AutoMKV use different settings for 1 pass for the same profile. Is it really necessary to use such command parameters for 1. pass that make encoding slower?

[nx6]

@nx6

Which means:
Eh, I'd try the decimating deinterlacer for the hell of it. See what it gets you :p
Was actually the correct answer.
I made a new D2V test input, a real short one (under 1800 frames) that was mostly the "running scene", I tried the "Allow Hybrid Order/Pattern" option and ran and deint test (which gave unknown for type" and then manually chose decimating deinterlacing. The resulting movie does not have the interlacing artifacts the tests have had up to this point! :D

I'll need to try some full episodes but this is very encouraging.

What does "Specify Quality" do? Does it change the quantizer in single pass CQ-Mode? What percentage equals what quantizer value?

Love AutoMKV, when will you be at 1.0?

@delacroixp

Check out this picture (http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Image:BoB01_Org_VOBedit.jpg).

I took your original images and combined them. The right half is your VOB, the left is the encoded file. On the upper 40% of so of the encoded file side I have done Brightness/Contrast adjustment to it (you can see the border running just above the truck's headlights). This is why the sky is similar in brightness to the VOB side. But there is a saturation problem as you diagnosed.

In the middle of the entire frame I have applied a saturation adjustment which overlaps all three areas (enclosed in white frame). You can see the upper left quadrant of it is the closest to the VOB sample area outside the white frame. Just so you have the figure: this is a 60% increase in saturation. So you would need to adjust brightness, contrast, and saturation to get an encoding closer to the original material.

I didn't get to see the pic... it did like Donald... and ducked...

This colour, saturation, hue, brightness, contrast thing is so complicated that I feel quite overwhelmed...
However, the DAR (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=989749&postcount=1888) encode really worked for me... It only decreased the filesize by 24% but I got a near-perfect original...
Some say I should have just used DVDShrink since it really excels at 10% - 20% decrease in filesize and of course, you maintain the menu structure...

Perhaps it can work for you... Bleach is 4:3 so that the increase to DAR resolution (768x576) is quite small at 6%... a far cry from 'Lord of the Rings' which has a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and a DAR resolution of (1354x576).

Funny thing... I've just finished encoding Ferris Bueller's Day Off (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferris_Bueller's_Day_Off) at DAR-Q18 along with 3 direct-copy audio tracks (main, commentary, french) and 6 subtitle tracks (english, french, hungarian) and the file is still 50% less than the original VOB.

As buzzqw often says... 'there's no 1 generic movie... they're all unique'.

Told ya :)
And when you use the decimating feature, select a field order (normally TFF, but check it out in DGIndex). The Auto thing doesn't seem to work for me for field order.

A lot of Cartoons/Anime is 3/2 like that and requires decimating. I was also having problems with interlacing like that and I searched and searched and searched and I found a post about ivtc (I think) and how to see the 3/2 by stepping it in MPC frame by frame. Sure enough it was, ran the decimating and it worked.

The interlacer that you use is dependent on whether it is true interlaced material, or it's ivtc 3/2 (right?, not sure on the terminology here).

[nx6]

I didn't get to see the pic... it did like Donald... and ducked...

Sorry, it's been removed now because I realized I couldn't delete it myself easily and figured I didn't need them anymore. If I stil have it I'll post it to the imageshack account I have now for this stuff,

This colour, saturation, hue, brightness, contrast thing is so complicated that I feel quite overwhelmed...

The good new is that you can fix all this with AVISynth filters, so you should be able to fix it with AutoMKV I assume.

Perhaps it can work for you... Bleach is 4:3 so that the increase to DAR resolution (768x576) is quite small at 6%... a far cry from 'Lord of the Rings' which has a 2.35:1 aspect ratio and a DAR resolution of (1354x576).

I'm not changing DAR, I'm leaving it as it is on the DVD. I don't have an issue with how it looks on my monitor at full screen, and I want to maintain a TV-happy DAR.

Told ya :)

I didn't see a difference with leaving it at Auto. But I'll probably change that for a full episode.

This still isn't playing right in MPC, but I think that may be a decoding components clashing or something. I was reading some guides about this stuff (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/videogetb2a.html) yesterday while I was at work.

Hi NX6,

I am not AT ALL software saavy ...

The reason AutoMKV seemed "Portable" to me was because I am running it from my 2.5" external USB ... and it runs A-OK ... even though I work on my desktop as "Only" a limited "Power User" ... which I don't think that qualifies for Admin Right type person.

So, I guess as long as it acts as one for my use ... I am fat, dumb, and happy!

I wish more & more programs would be written as such ... or smart folks like you and others here figure out how to make Other programs portable also.

Thanks,
G!:)

[buzzqw]

P.S.: On CQ-CRF profile, the width is back to going to '720' instead of 'Original' like you had fixed in 0.80.
... for me is fixed already... are you sure ?

. I noticed that the 1-pass with x264 is a lot slower compared to other programs
there are three 1 pass profile (fast, intermediate, good), maybe i changed a little but shouldn't be so lower in speed...

What does "Specify Quality" do? Does it change the quantizer in single pass CQ-Mode? What percentage equals what quantizer value?

x264 quant= (40-qualityvalue)/4

xvid quant= 12-Sqr(qualityvalue+12)

Love AutoMKV, when will you be at 1.0?
no date... depends on how much free time i have (more time -> more build)

The Auto thing doesn't seem to work for me for field order.

... on decimate/film isn't needed the field order

The interlacer that you use is dependent on whether it is true interlaced material, or it's ivtc 3/2
absolutely right. look on wikipedia per interlace and inverse telecine

i have some problem with visual-manual crop... the image of movie on another pc isn't displayed :confused:
on pc have a ati aiw9700pro, the other an intel integrated graphic card (865)... dunno what can be...
most probably the release will be delayed

BHH

[weaver4]

Buzz,

I am a little confused on this:
x264 quant= (40-qualityvalue)/4

If the qualityvalue is zero the quantizer would be 10 and that is the highest value it could get to. If qualityvalue was 100 it would be -15. But normal X264 quantizer values are 15 to 25.

[buzzqw]

ehmm.. parenthesis error... :o

x264 quant= 40-(qualityvalue/4)

so for qualityvalue=100 quant=15
for qual=80 quant=20
for qual=75 quant=21
for qual=70 quant=22.5

also i have fixed the not display... but monitor color depth bust be 32bit

now is missing the ar% error on resize

here the latest version

[branko]

I meant 1. pass in 2-pass encoding (profile HQ-slow). The 1. pass is much slower than the 1. pass in Megui or Staxrip, using the profile HQ-Slow. I tested several movies and everytime I get slower 1. pass in AutoMKV than in Staxrip. For example: Staxrip on 1. pass = 19 fps, AutoMKV on 1. pass= 13 fps.

[nx6]

... for me is fixed already... are you sure ?

It looks like it only happens when you have "don't care about size" selected for the size and CQ-CRF for profile, even though AutoMKV is ignoring the size anyway.

Actually I seem unable to choose any profile BUT CQ when I have "don't care about size" selected for the size. If I choose AVI/XviD and have "don't care about size" as the selected size it only uses "XVid_CQ" profile and after the "Hit Media Size/Go Unlimited" dialog the resizer is still using 720px width. But if I have "1 CD" or "1/4 CD" or whatever in the movie size setting first, then after the "Hit Media Size/Go Unlimited" dialog, CQ profile gives Original/NONE for resizer.

[buzzqw]

@branko

thanks... i will look (anyway could be also a filter issue..., remember that automkv will always insert colormatrix and removegrain...)

@nx6

noted!

Actually I seem unable to choose any profile BUT CQ when I have "don't care about size"
Should i do a 2 pass encoding or 1 pass encoding with bitrate 1000000000 ?
Much better a crf/cq profile (for me..)

720 sounds good... 'original' is ambiguous in the world of anamorphic vs square-pixel encoding...
I'm probably one of the few members of the entire Doom9 forums that believes 'bigger is better' and encodes at OriginalDisplayResolution-Q18-CRF.
I encoded The Deer Hunter again last night... at 1008x432 with direct-copy audio track... the mkv jetting in at 4.33 GB... just barely 50MB short of a DVD... close call...

I gather MkvToolnix has the option to span... so a movie like Once Upon a Time in America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Once_Upon_a_Time_in_America) which is 360 min and 12GB (vob)... could be spanned over 2 DVD's if necessary...

Awesome... truly, a work of art and magic...
I hope you're going to change the spelling of Anamorph... to Anamorphic.

I'm really enjoying encoding from IFO's of late... directly from DVD... and in my case, from 'images'. I have an HTPC with tons of images backed up from my DVD library collection...
IFO encoding is intelligent (AI) software at it's best... I don't mind hard work but there's no need to be foolish and 'dig your own grave'...
Well actually, I used to rip the movies into a single VOB... (with DVD Decrypter from an image) and then rename the VOB and IFO alike, but I could never rip the subs... either with AutoMKV or VSRip... while now it works flawlessly...

AutoMKV is the best... wayyy better than MeGUI... I'm sure 1.0 will be just unbelievable... given time and due thought...


:):D:eek:

[buzzqw]

thanks delacroixp!

just a notd 1008/432=2.3333
is 2.3333 the correct dar ? shouldn't be 2.35 and so 1024 and not 1008 ?

also... in orginal AR i list only 16:9, 4:3 and 1:1

i don't think 2.35 should be allowed...

and what do you think about allow and editable list ?

Well, it was a rather funny encode... it had cropping L=R=8 and the true DAResolution should have been 1002x432... but 1002 is not MOD16... so encoded 1008 and remuxed with Mosu's MkvToolnix (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=120648&page=15) set to 1002... I suppose doing an AutoMKV anamorphic encode of 1008 but signalled to 1002 should also have worked just fine.


Buzz.... Is there any chance a "User Value" or "User Ratio" option can be included for both Xvid and x264. Something like this: -

http://img238.imageshack.us/img238/3151/proposalkm4.png

I like SeeMoreDigital's idea of a drop down list including 'custom SAR' since most movies have black-space and can wreak havoc with your DAR calculations...

However, I have never encoded an Xvid movie eventhough I support DivX and have encoded many, many divx movies... I still feel MKV and HTPC is where it's at.
Having said that... the MKV 'Force Muxing AR, DAR, SAR, PAR' does pretty well with 4:3 and 16:9... since even if you only vaguely know your stuff... inserting a 'custom resolution' is eminently superior to the serious AR maths...
The way I understand it is that... if you have a movie that is 2.35:1 it's probably got some serious black stuff top and bottom... and given even-cropping and MOD16/4/2 etc... you probably wont end up with a true 2.35 movie anyway.

In some cases an actual AR figure may be necessary with dodgey players... even Zoom player gets funny on me occasionally... but I'm sure MKV can sort it all out... mostly...


:):D:eek:
Pascal

[delacroixp]

I'm encoding Lord of the Rings and expected something like 1354x576 (2.35x576) but it's just a regular 1024x432 movie with tons of black stuff all over the place...

What if there was a checkbox that could be turned on and would restrict what values could be used, and it had a drop down menu for selecting MOD2/4/8/16?

[delacroixp]

What if there was a checkbox that could be turned on and would restrict what values could be used, and it had a drop down menu for selecting MOD2/4/8/16?
Beautifull... quite frankly, I think that totally inadmissable values (eg NON-, even-cropping, height-MOD2, width-MOD4) should be arrested well before the encode even starts... like implementing a numerical-field setting in a database for numbers-only... wayy tooo many encodes crash for no fault of the movie or AutoMKV encoding-workability...
A drop-down menu-choice for MOD16 and MOD8 would be great... even to see how this affects your number-crunching... I guess Default would be the MOD4/MOD2 standard arrangement...
I suppose each container has it's own specs...

A simple slider calc would probably best show the changing values... depending on your choice of cropping (see post (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=969913&postcount=1276)).
A system of Automatic cropping (pre-encode movie-analysis) with recommended values would be nice...


:):D:eek:
Pascal

btw
I did LotR 1 last night... Dr DivX reported black-space T=75 and B=76... I chose to crop T=B=72 with H=432 to maintain MOD16...
I guess I could have cropped T=74, B=76... and still have H=432 (resized) but signalled DAResolution 1024x426 or AR = 1024/426 = 512:213 = 2.4:1
I would have had less black-stuff and more quality...

[buzzqw]

for the brave and the bold

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV082spc.rar
unrar into automkv folder, now you will have the new AutoMKV082alpha.exe and AVSredirect.dll

start automkv082alpha.exe load your source file , go in advanced settings and click on visualcrop :cool:

[delacroixp]

I managed to crop all the black space from 'Lord of the Rings 1'... leaving 1024 x 426 => 2.4:1 (720x576 PAL / 16:9)
So I up-sized to 1152 x 480 (all MOD16)... using Lanczos4 (I'm still using 0.80)... and the file is still way short of 1 DVD...

The quality is just indescribable and beyond words...

with 0.80 the better resizer is lanczos4 in new installer there is also limitedsharpenfaster...

:thanks: for this great software

one cuestion what are the diference betwen filter qmlf1-3 motion and qmlf2-4 motion, qmlf3-5 motion..... etc

I know what's are a conditional filter, but not the especific use of the qmlf

PD: Sorry by my english but is not my natural language

[buzzqw]

look at \exe\script and at .avs file... these are the qmf

also i can suggest for this feature to wait the next update. I will introduce the qmtrim (http://www.digitalexpression.it/forum/index.php?showtopic=416&st=0 , sorry only italian)
it would be an vectorial analysis of frames using mvanalyze and will construct a avs much similar (and much better) to ArCalculator

from log file i can see that your source is processed via directshowsource....
is the original file syncronized when played with mpc/wmp?

is correct 25 as framerate ?

you could try to edit your movie.avs and change the movie=directshow... to this

movie = directshowsource("C:\Documents and Settings\Cora\My Documents\skulfiles\nodame_cantabile\[Froth-Bite]Nodame_Cantabile_010.mp4",audio=false,fps=25,convertfps=true)

the reclick on encoding bat file (x264cmdq_ABR.bat)

i will look at this issue!

thanks

I'm having some trouble with deinterlacing, I just set it to auto. In previous versions it worked great, but in .81+ it doesn't seem to be working.

I get this error in deint.log:

Why does my Norton Anti virus keep reporting a malicious script and how do I stop it?
Sometimes the audio doesn't get merged with the video,how can I fix that.Here is log.

Why does my Norton Anti virus keep reporting a malicious script and how do I stop it?


Norton is probably alarmed by the scripts that AutoMKV uses that are creating many files on their own, which are then used in other scripts to make even more files. The result being Norton thinks your machine has been inducted into a zombie net, or is building a virus from scratch in-house like a trojan to avoid Norton's protection that is monitoring your network connection.

I dumped Norton years ago otherwise I would check around in the settings to see what could be "toned down" to allow things to run more smoothly.

[buzzqw]

@valan

this error often is due to missing/corrupted yv12 decoder
try reinstalling xivd
for deinterlacer problems try enabling "allow hybrid order/pattern"

@payne_en_diaz
as well say by nx6, automkv will use vbs script to automatize audio encoding. i can suggest to disable on norton the vbs script checking... or better use a more modern av (like avira,kaspersky,nod32...)

@nx6

thanks!

Apparently this is a common problem that isn't (http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1181676) that easy to find a solution for. I had to jump around in Google for almost 20 minutes to find these answers.

How to disable script blocking in NAV 2002/2003. (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/docid/2001082912274906?Open&docid=2002011812413006&nsf=nav.nsf&view=aab56492973adccd8825694500552355)

How to allow the "authorize" option for scripts. (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/nav.nsf/b69c799adfa31ecc85256aa30052f4d0/6216e0fdef41999685256a2d005c8e6e?OpenDocument&src=bar_sch_nam)

Here's another post of how to disable script blocking, but no mention of which version of Norton this works on. (http://www.computing.net/windowsme/wwwboard/forum/41151.html)

It almost looks like there is no way to disable it in NAV 2006/2007. I don't know if you'll have to "authorize" the scripts to run every time you do a job or if Norton will allow them from then on by name. If they use the filepath you'll have probelms since the filepath could change depending on where the "temp" folder is being created (inside the DVD rip folder for example). If that is the case, perhaps if you set your output destination to someplace else you'll only have to authorize them once, since then the temp folder will overwrite itself everytime and the filepath for the VBS scripts wont change, keeping them on Norton's Whitelist (if it has a permanent whitelist, that is).

Does AutoMKV support .DAT input file format... or are there any plans to in the future...
I'm sure there is no great demand but I tried to encode a video.dat just for fun... obviously without any success.

I'm still using AutoMKV 0.80 but I found that setting the AR to 4:3 for an anamorphic video signalled 720xDDD while MkvMerge signalled 768x576 as it probably should be...

It probably no longer an issue...

How about we add OGM container support just for fun while we're at it? (Yes, I am aware OGM is considered a "hack" container format and MKV would be the proper implementation.) :D

[buzzqw]

@delacroixp
Does AutoMKV support .DAT input file format
rename .dat in .mpg and is supported :D

btw .dat could be anything...

and btw(2) 768 is ok with new visual crop :D


@nx6

NO. Organism Genitic Modified are not allowed :D

mp4 and MKV is more then enough

Get a better Anti-Virus. :D

Best free anti virus is AOL Kaspersky (http://www.activevirusshield.com/antivirus/freeav/index.adp?). Yes, thats right. AOL did something GOOD. It has the same detection rate as the normal kaspersky (which according to tests has the best) and does not contain any maleware (as of yet).

You can read stuff about it here. (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=33&threadid=1982241&enterthread=y)

[nx6]

I would add that if you're currently in school you might just check with your university's computing department. Many colleges give students subscriptions to major antivirus software to keep their networks free of viruses.

I'm using Sophos Anti-Virus 6 (provided by my college) right now.

Thanks,so thats why the audio doesnt get merged because nortons is stopping it?
Also why is Norton not a good AV.Isn't it just doing its job by alerting me of a script?
In my version of Nortons(2002) there is an option to turn off script blocking i'll try that but won't that expose me to potential harmful scripts?

[buzzqw]

In my version of Nortons(2002)
that's quite old, i suggest to upgrade to 2007
Norton has made quite strong progress

but won't that expose me to potential harmful scripts?
that's a good point.

i suggest if norton has this option to esclude from on access scanner the directory of automkv and the teporary directory of encoding file

Excuse me if i didnt read all the 2000 posts :o

But aac audio works in avi container ?? :helpful:

no, not work because isn't possible (in normal way)

in avi is allowed to mux only mp3 or ac3

aac is allowed in matroska (mkv) or mp4

maybe you could make ac3 5.1 work with mkv, i'd be happy :D

"Hi, in the wide resize section of Mkv i dont see the Bell filter,

Hey Buzzqw.
I've got my hands on an anime dvd9 and it has 5 chapters on it bu automkv wont see them, it will recognize it as 1 2h movie.
What could be done here so that i can split it in episodes?

[buzzqw]

on PGC list what you see ?

0:00:02:01
0:24:03:20

that.

[buzzqw]

i suppose that "2:00:09:16" is the full lenght of those episodes... if so i suggest to do 1 big mkv and use chapter for "splitting" those episodes...

the ifo isn't reporting 5 episodes... so... i cannot do anything
