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

[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.

@delacroixp
i am very happy. :rolleyes:

could you guess this value from what is taken ?

DGINDEX! this value are the true value inside the mpeg file!
if your player took the dar and display 1080i or whatever blame your player! :mad:

or, if you are absolutly sure about width/height post a bug on DgIndex/dvd2avi forum



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.

update 0.79
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV079a.rar
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.

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 ???

[schizosmurf]

same results. it seems whatever is opening the cmd window immediatly after clicking start encoding is not providing the correct info for the file since the log shows
18:03:22 Number of Frames:
18:03:22 Framerate:
18:03:22 Movie lenght in Seconds: 0
18:03:22 Movie Width:
18:03:22 Movie Height:
18:03:22 !!! BREAK - FILE NOT SUPPORTED !!!

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

[buzzqw]

new update (x264 profiles)
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/x264-profiles-079.rar

unrar overwriting all x264 profiles!

or download new 0.79a full package

@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

a stupid question: have you installed avisynth 2.5.7 ?

i had avisinth installed but it seems not correct version. reinstalled to 2.5.7 and works better but unfortunately still not fully functional. everything appears to work and i see no errors but there is no output file.

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

The naming syntax actually makes sense somewhat, more from a historic perspective though.

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...

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:
Pascal


OK... get it... make a new modified profile... call it PascalsConsistantQuality.xml and use that...

:stupid:
kewl
(I modified a few scripts for random maps in Age of Empires II and Wordpad worked particularly well when Notepad run out of space.)

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.

Would it be possible to add the Changelog to the wiki?

It is hard to find buzzqw's individual posts detailing what has changed with each new version.

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...

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

Well... if you get bored today... take the day off and head for the hills or the beach...
But if you get really excited... try adding the Changelog to the wiki... I'm sure you'll be a lot more inspiring if you're in a good mood.

I'm compressing the entire 'Band of Brothers' series, with extras onto 1 DVD with maximum quality while maintaining consistency...


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.


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
ows Media Components\Encoder\WMCmd.vbs" -input "C:\Users\schizosmurf\Videos\PPC\

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!

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...

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?

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:

PuzZLeR (http://forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=3517&page=1) has discovered a similar anomaly, using a somewhat more simple though equally effective method.

I tried to download DivX DRF Analyzer - 0.9.5 (http://www.geocities.com/analyzerdrf/) without success... though it is outdated anyway...
What software do you use to test your encodes... ???
However, I think you are probably better qualified to handle the 'mystery and mayhem' ... since you got me interested in CQ encoding to start with...

CQ encoding has a ring of purity which now seams tarnished... but it still has the 2nd great virtue of "saving you time, saving you money" (by doing only 1 pass).

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
are benefitting from an "increasingly aware, interested and excited consumer market"...
