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

[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

@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 !

BHH

[TheRyuu]

surely there is some problem within those audio files

last one try

don't check use delay cut, check force directshowsource

:fingercrossed: :angry:

BHH

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:

[leiming2006]

I keep looking for somthing convenient to encode wmv. That's really a good software.
Now downloading...

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 ?

BHH

[Huerta]

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.

[Shark_jlc]

What do the new logo buttons do?

[sillKotscha]

What do the new logo buttons do?

show logos ;)

[Shark_jlc]

show logos ;)

heh - I click and I click and I click though... lol.

[buzzqw]

you can click those button while waiting for encoding :D

seriusly, on click i can open the matroska.org page or wme encoder page or media player classic page or mp4. ,x264.nl or xvid.org or... ?

if anyone have good suggestion feel free to suggest

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?

[buzzqw]

could be a good idea!

i will try (or simply update if already done) to update the container, codec and filter page on weekend

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...

If I run the mkvmaudio.bat again... i get the same error message:

[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.

Deint.log -
BAutoDeint [info]: Number of sections of type `progressive': 1
BAutoDeint [info]: Number of sections of type `film': 16
BAutoDeint [info]: There are 0 sections with 0 frames moving.

:thanks:

[fogbav]

Hi !

V 077 doesn't save the DirectShowSource for Audio when pressing save setting in Main Window

[buzzqw]

@fogbav

i don't ever know that is fuctional or not and you want to save it to settings ? :eek:

i will wait for some positive feedback :)

@eggzmon

every ?... mm could you please post a sample ? (trim with digindex, and post also image of flashing) ... also.. better to ask in avisynth usage forum...

BHH

[fogbav]

Come on ... Sa (v) ety first ....8)

[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

[buzzqw]

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


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.

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

[Shark_jlc]

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]

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

[gekan]

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

BHH

[Shark_jlc]

...

...
BHH

I did not know that! I did search the wiki for "PGC", but it came back blank :/

I'll check into the rest of what you said tonight at home.
Thanks!

[buzzqw]

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)

THANKS !

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?

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?

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