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

[TheRyuu]

Lets not use Qtrim alright?

IMO, it's not necessary.

I already told you how to do it automatically in AutoMKV.
Choose Film or Decimate as your deinterlacer options and check HQ Deint.
(also don't just use tfm().tdecimate(). thats not the complete filter. Use Film or Decimate, both the same, in AutoMKV and check HQ, that'll use the same thing but add a little bit to the tfm part)

The reason tfm().tdecimate() works is because the movie was originally 23.97fps, but was upconverted to 29.97fps when put on DVD. Then, a 3:2 pulldown flag was added in order for the original 23.97fps movie to be recovered. Thats the only thing that tfm().tdecimate() does (there's a little more to the script when AutoMKV does it).

IMO, Scrap QmTrim (it's not reliable right now, IMO). If you want reliability don't use it. Just use the regular avisynth filters.
Instead try something like Degrainmedian(mode=2) for your filter. If the movie has a lot of noise try Degrainmedian(mode=1). Higher mode value will result in LESS denoising. So mode=1 will denoise MORE then mode=2.

You can also chain in a sharpener too like so (copy and paste in AutoMKV filter box):
degrainmedian(mode=1).LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, smode=4, strength=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)

The resulting image will look nice.

Trying your file now. I'll update when I'm done.

thanks..

now I understand a little more. I was trying to find a good set (combination) of filters, but you always find contradictory explainations.

what do you think of this combinaison ?
FFT3DFilter(sigma=3).degrainmedian(mode=1).LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, smode=4, strength=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)

FFT3DFilter(sigma=3) alone seem to be able to do a good job (maybe it just in the frames that I look), but with your settings give a better job.. a little less noise.

will the script you give me will give good result in a movie other that an Anime ?

there are so much filter out there and so much settings that is hard to know which one to use.

I prefer coding Java application.. more strait through :)

[TheRyuu]

You file gave me a bit of trouble.
But I finally got it to encode. Had to manually create a d2v file and fix the d2v file (thats what DGIndex told me to do :)) because of some bad field order or something along those lines.

Once I did that it encoded just fine. I have no idea why it's giving you such trouble. Also the file needs cropping. I did 16 on each side.
Then resize to a MOD16 16:9 ratio like 704x400 (then force mux AR to 16:9).

That then gives me this video:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=Q9K507PL

Results are quite nice aren't they?
Filters I used: Degrainmedian, LimitedSharpfaster, and FastLineDarkenMOD (doesn't come with AutoMKV, @buzzqw, what about adding it? :), very useful for anime stuff).

Edit:
IMO fft3dfilter is too slow :D
If you can wait it out sure it is really powerful. But I find for the majority of the cases degrainmedian does just fine.

[survivant]

thanks.. look really good.

can you give me what you did please. :)

were you able to do it without manual intervention in automkv ?

I know for dgindex, I don't know why it can't be done automatically ?

so what your procedure ?

create the movie.d2v by automkv.. just before the encoding.. stop the process and rerun the .bat file ?

[survivant]

I don't really care about the time to encode :) I work all day long.. so even if my computer take 24 hours.. that fine with me..

I have lot of trouble to watch a moie with macroblock.. I got frustrated :) Happen even with DVD.. something the fit a movie into a dvd5 instead a dvd9 and we can see it in the motion scene.

if you have the setting for fft3dfilter shoot.. I'll compare between the quality.. see if it make sense compare at the time added.

[survivant]

@wizboy11

here what I have done to encode the sample.

choose Deinterlacer : Film, HQ Deint.

when the dgindex popup appear, I open a new dgindex. Fix the d2v and close the both dgindex.

after that the encoding process resume.

and it's the x264 who encode...perfect.

you said that eh fft3d will be slow.. I'm at 1.94 fps and I don't ahve the full 4.1 profile..

the quality is really good..

[survivant]

MVTools 1.8.0 beta been release.

@wizboy11 did you try MVTools ?

I'll do some tests tomorrow, if you have try this filter.. just tell me if there is potential there... or I'll get the same result from your script ?

[survivant]

if I try MVdenoise and MVdegrain with the script that wizboy11 give me.. x264 is unable to encode.. here the movie.avs

movie = tfm(movie,d2v="C:\DVD\encode\automkv\temp\movie.d2v").tdecimate()
#resizestart

last = movie
#filter2start

#test5

fft3dfilter(sigma=1.5, bt=5, bw=32, bh=32, ow=16, oh=16, sharpen=0.4).degrainmedian(mode=2).LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, smode=4, strength=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)
backward_vec2 = last.MVAnalyse(isb = true, lambda = 1000, delta = 2, pel = 2, idx = 1)

last.MVDegrain2(backward_vec1,forward_vec1,backward_vec2,forward_vec2,thSAD=400,idx=1)
ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601")

[TheRyuu]

Lets keep it simple.
degrainmedian(mode=1).LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, smode=4, strength=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)

Copy and paste into filters box.

Also I don't think you need to post like 5 posts in a row. Just edit the first one. :D :p

Also I didn't have to manually intervene in AutoMKV. Just had to do one manual step BEFORE I ran it through AutoMKV. The AutoMKV part then ran without a hitch.

I'm not sure if this will hold true with the original vob file, but I had to fix the d2v with the one you gave me. I opened the vob file, then saved the d2v and then it gave me a message saying something like "There is a field shift, fix d2v to fix it" or something like that. So I did.

Then it ran without a hitch. You shouldn't have to stop AutoMKV and run the bat file manually. Ideally AutoMKV should be able to run through just fine. (worked fine for me)
If you want to get a little adventurous, copy and paste this into notepad:
#############################
# FastLineDarken 1.3 MT MOD #
#############################
#
# Written by Vectrangle, last update 12 Sept 04
#
# * requires mt_masktools v2
# * requires yv12 input
#
# Usage is FastLineDarken(strength, luma_cap, threshold, thinning),
# named parameters are supported eg FastLineDarken(thinning=0)
#
# Note that you must import this avs into your script using import("...\FastLineDarken.avs")
#
# Parameters are:
# strength (integer) - Line darkening amount, 0-256. Default 48. Represents the _maximum_ amount
# that the luma will be reduced by, weaker lines will be reduced by
# proportionately less.
# luma_cap (integer) - value from 0 (black) to 255 (white), used to stop the darkening
# determination from being 'blinded' by bright pixels, and to stop grey
# lines on white backgrounds being darkened. Any pixels brighter than
# luma_cap are treated as only being as bright as luma_cap. Lowering
# luma_cap tends to reduce line darkening. 255 disables capping. Default 191.
# threshold (integer) - any pixels that were going to be darkened by an amount less than
# threshold will not be touched. setting this to 0 will disable it, setting
# it to 4 (default) is recommended, since often a lot of random pixels are
# marked for very slight darkening and a threshold of about 4 should fix
# them. Note if you set threshold too high, some lines will not be darkened
# thinning (integer) - optional line thinning amount, 0-256. Setting this to 0 will disable it,
# which is gives a _big_ speed increase. Note that thinning the lines will
# inherently darken the remaining pixels in each line a little. Default 24.
#
# Changelog:
# 1.3 - added ability to thin lines, now runs much slower unless thinning=0. Changed the defaults (again)
# 1.2 - huge speed increase using yv12lutxy =)
# - weird darkening issues gone (they were caused by yv12layer)
# - show option no longer available due to optimizations. Use subtract() instead
# 1.1 - added luma_cap option
# 1.0 - initial release
#


function FastLineDarkenMOD( clip c, int "strength", int "luma_cap", int "threshold", int "thinning")
{
## parameters ##
str = string(default(strength, 48) /128.)
lum = string(default(luma_cap, 191))
thr = string(default(threshold, 4))
thinning = default(thinning,24)
thn = string(thinning /16.)

## filtering ##
exin = c.mt_expand().mt_inpand()
diff = mt_lutxy(c,exin,yexpr="y "+lum+" < y "+lum+" ? x "+thr+" + > x y "+lum+" < y "+lum+" ? - 0 ? 127 +",uexpr="x",vexpr="x",u=2, v=2)
linemask= mt_lut(diff.mt_inpand(),"x 127 - "+thn+" * 255 +").mt_convolution("1 1 1","1 1 1",y=3,u=0,v=0)
thick = mt_lutxy(c, exin, yexpr="y "+lum+" < y "+lum+" ? x "+thr+" + > x y "+lum+" < y "+lum+" ? - 0 ? "+str+" * x +",uexpr="x",vexpr="x",u=2, v=2)
thin = mt_lutxy(c.mt_expand(),diff,yexpr="x y 127 - "+str+" 1 + * +",u=2, v=2)

return (thinning == 0) ? thick : mt_merge(thin,thick,linemask,y=3,u=2,v=2)
}

Save as FastLineDarkenMOD.avsi
Then copy that file to AutoMKV/exe/filters
Then use this in the filters part:
degrainmedian(mode=1).LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, smode=4, strength=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1).FastLineDarkenMOD(thinning=0, strength=60)

You have to experiment with the strength of both LSF and Line Darken. Also, you can try smode=3 in LSF. Sometimes that works better for anime and cartoons. But you also might have to adjust the strength again. But all around the above is pretty generic script. You'll have to change it to suit your taste and your movie.
Nothing is best. :)

some tips around

1) Automkv will not use force film in dgindex, but will apply tfm(d2v="xxx").tdecimate()
Earlier versions of automkv will force film in dgindex.. but as stated by bEnGaLi tHuG is much better (and not so slow) apply tfm

2)you cannot mix apple and pear (i have literally translated from italian way to say)
LeakKernelDeint(order=1,sharp=true) is for interlaced source
tfm(d2v="xxx").tdecimate() is for film/itvc source file
ALSO you cannot simply write tfm().tdecimate() since is missing one of most important factor.
TFM has the ability to parse the d2v and analyze it to take better solution, if you write simply tfm().Tdecimate() you will not trigger this analysis.
Automkv will always use tfm(d2v="xxx").tdecimate() for better results

3) qmtrim and hgavs works
if "If I try with just the qmtrim filter, x264 won't encode" open the script in virtualdub and look at the error (like append strange filter in denterlace box)

4) holy cow! (;) you have applied BOTH MVDenoise AND MVDegrain! apply one or other not both!
(virtualdub crash for me too! but applied one at time is ok!)

5) thanks wizboy11!

[zacoz]

@zacoz
:( i am sorry
but i hope you will continue in use of automkv! :)
No doubt about that I think. I'm much happier with the quality I'm getting from x264 over Xvid, and after trying a number of GUI's have found AutoMKV the most stable, easy to use (but still with advanced flexibility), and well supported by friendly people :)

Expect a donation once I replenish by paypal account :cool:

[buzzqw]

@zacoz

thanks for your kind words! :)

very appreciated (expecially have found AutoMKV the most stable !)

@wizboy11 and ALL

seems that filter box need an upgrade...
i am not a filters expert and seems that more people chain filters
i accept suggestions (adding another filter box... prepare some .ini with preconfigured filters)

You can add a new tab : Filters. something with a listbox using all the panel. Button add, remove, up, down. and the filters and chained in that order.

You can add checkbox on each line, si you can enabled them without deleting them. Could be usefull to test some tweaking. You could add message like . When choosing Qmtrim or Hsavg you should disabled the others filters.. do you want to ? Save the setting in the .ini, do the question is not asked each time.

I found a good tool to test the filters.

AvsP
http://avisynth.org/qwerpoi/index.html you can download it in italian :)

it really helpful to test without loading virtualdub each time. It give you preview.. It's with this tool that I compare frame yesterday.

Another suggestion.. If we can select MVdenoise and MVdegrain2 in the same time.. you should disabled the checkbox when you choose one, or maybe it's just a bug with mvtools.. don't know.

2)you cannot mix apple and pear (i have literally translated from italian way to say)


:) in french it (you cannot mix apples and oranges)


Automkv will always use tfm(d2v="xxx").tdecimate() for better results


I think my problem was that the sample was so small (30 sec) Automkv wasn't able to identifiy which deinterlacer to do and cause the problem, because if I force the deinterlacer the script is good.


3) qmtrim and hgavs works
if "If I try with just the qmtrim filter, x264 won't encode" open the script in virtualdub and look at the error (like append strange filter in denterlace box)


will try tonight with differents settings again.. If I found the sequence to crash the movie.avs, I'll post it.. that will make automkv even better (yes.. it really a good tool, if it wasn't I would try to get it work)


4) holy cow! (;) you have applied BOTH MVDenoise AND MVDegrain! apply one or other not both!
(virtualdub crash for me too! but applied one at time is ok!)
BHH

You should disabled the other checkbox when you choose one, and enabled both of them when it will be fix. I didn't know really what I was trying. I read some documentation about MVtools and want to test it.

I'm really hard on your tool :) but it's for the better

i understud well.. but for a "wannabe" simple application could be a very dangerous features...

When choosing Qmtrim or Hsavg you should disabled the others filters

done!

you should disabled the checkbox when you choose one

done (already before your good suggestion :) )

It give you preview
... just one secret... the preview panel already include the filters...

If I found the sequence to crash the movie.avs, I'll post it

OK!

I'm really hard on your tool but it's for the better
I must thank you for your effort and time dedicated! :thanks:

Instead of a filters line just make it a box. Infinitely long.

That way you can use something like SeeSaw the right way.
a=last
b=a.degrainmedian(mode=1)
SeeSaw(a,b,blah blah blah)

I'd keep the filters box on the first page for new(er) users and for simplicity.

If you do add another filters page, you should add some presets too.
Like say, anime stuff might have FastLineDarken in it.
Then give LSF combos and SeeSaw combos.

Like So:
SeeSaw Movie HQ:
a= last
b=a.degrainmedian(mode=2)
SeeSaw(a,b, NRlimit=3, NRlimit2=4, Sstr=1.5, Slimit=5, Spower=5, Sdamplo=6, Szp=16)
LSF MovieHQ:
degrainmedian(mode=2)
LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5 smode=4, strength=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)

Then for medium quality just change degrainmedian(mode=2) to mode=1. Then for low quality, I don't know, use fft3dfilter?

Then stuff for like anime:
degrainmedian(mode=1)
LimitedSharpenFaster(ss_x=1.5, ss_y=1.5, smode=4, stregnth=125, overshoot=1, undershoot=1)
FastLineDarkenMOD(thinning=0, stregnth=60)
But I think that smode=3 is also a valid option since sometimes that better for anime sources.

You want to make the filter thing as user friendly as possible but still give the necessary options to make it powerful?

[survivant]

@wizboy11

to add to what wizboy11 said. Could it be possible to add a description for the presets ?

We could have 3 presets for animes (example)
preset1 : filters A.. : Use when your anime is HQ with lot of motion (recommended)
preset2 : filters XXX : Anime HQ, but with noise

preset 3 : filters CVB : Anime ...

It's hard to find the right filters when they are so much combinaisons. with help to choose, it will come lot easier to get a good encoded movie.

[buzzqw]

i will look... (not in next update)

Hi,

I tried everything trying to convert MKVx264 file to Xvid AVI file maintaining aspect and audio settings but AutoMKV always tries to convert to stereo instead of original 5.1 sound. In fact if I choose AVI as container it does not even list AAC as option, if I choose MP4 as container it lists AAC as option but during conversion still reverts back to stereo. This is serious showstopper for me. Log and screenshot is below, any ideas?

avi doesn't support aac audio

btw in next update you "should" be able to copy audio

I use DSM-520 Media Player (http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=438), will I be able to play Nero AAC encoded files on it? I can play Xvid AVI files with 5.1 sound converted from DVD just fine there and now I'm trying to convert and play HD content and having issues with audio.

Thanks, I resolved issue above by installing CCCP pack, but question still remains if I can play ND AAC file on my DSM-520 media player? I have a bunch of Xvid movies with AC3 encoded sound which plays just fine there, is it possible to convert audio to AC3?

[buzzqw]

is it possible to convert audio to AC3?

in next update i added support to aften :)

Have seen a couple of issues with the queue mode - anyone else experiencing these?

If all jobs are deleted from the queue, whether having been run or not, you can't access the Start Encoding button without shutting down and restarting AutoMKV. It essentially stays stuck in Queue mode.

After adding jobs to a queue, and running them, some of the completed jobs remain in the Queue Job list while others are removed. This causes problems if you try to add additional jobs.

For example:
Last night I queued and ran three jobs (queue0.ini, queue1.ini, queue2.ini) and this morning I saw they had completed (didn't look in the Queue Jobs tab however). I subsequently added 5 more jobs to the queue (which became queue3.ini - queue7.ini) and clicked Start Queue again. I have discovered on coming home that the jobs I queued this morning haven't run as a reference to queue1.ini had remained in the list, but as the job it related to had completed, the queue1.ini file no longer actually exists. DGIndex is therefore sitting there trying to process nothing. The log shows there's no input file.

Log for 3 overnight jobs were above here - nothing strange about them - so haven't bothered copying them over

Interestingly, the jobs added this morning do not show details in the Queue Jobs tab, although looking at the .ini file in the AutoMKV directory shows the detail for each has been saved.

yep.. bug

queue is to use and, after all jobs are done... quit automkv

i haven't tested the situation of queue.. start queue and then add new jobs

i will look.. (but i hate the queue section of automkv! )

question still remains if I can play ND AAC file on my DSM-520 media player?
Did a quick Google, and it's not mentioned in the specs on D-Links site (http://www.dlink.com/products/resource.asp?pid=438&rid=1631&sec=0). Also this review (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,133148/article.html) indicates that "The DSM-520 HD isn't able to play back AAC iTunes music, however, whether the files are protected or not."
You might need to wait for AutoMKV's AC3 support in next version. A quick test file should tell you definatively however.

[zacoz]

I love the ability to queue jobs up - although generally with the filters I'm running the individual jobs run at 5fps :o so it's not like I'm normally queuing up as many jobs as I did last night.

They're obviously very easy bugs to work around from a user perspective when you are aware of them - just close and reopen AutoMKV. :D

I'm trying to convert DVD to Xvid avi with original resolution. I choose 2_pass_extreme_quality setting and choose "don't care about size". I end up with grainy looking 750 Mb file. Log is below. I usually use AutoGK to convert and choose "2 Cds" and quaility is usually excellent. I prefer AutoMKV becouse I can burn subtitles into the movie but did not figure out how to preserve original video quality. What would be appropriate settings?

...while the bitrate is 26000 ... outrageous ... the matrix is for Ultra Low bitrate...
automkv se the Low bitrate NOT the ULTRA low bitrate...

in next update the for don't care about size, the matrix will be set to "Didees SixOfNine-HVS.cqm"

and why loose 6 hours of encoding when you could have the same quality by selecting the profile "Constant Quality" in half time ???

I have no idea what you said above but I understood if I choose "constant quality" then quaility would be excellent and I would not be limited to 750 Mb. Encoding now. Thanks a lot.

[buzzqw]

have you selected Go Unlimited ?

BHH

[artisticcheese]

have you selected Go Unlimited ?

BHH

Yes I figured if I choose something else then might end up with 750 Mb file again. Thanks.

[buzzqw]

that's right!

tell me when finished about quality :)

BHH

P.S. the same profile in next update will lead to more quality!

[survivant]

P.S. the same profile in next update will lead to more quality!

your talking again about the next version :) I can't wait.

[artisticcheese]

that's right!

BHH

P.S. the same profile in next update will lead to more quality!

Quality is excellent now but problem is that AVI file is now 2.25 Gb in size and according to my media player it can not process files over 2 Gb filesize becouse AVI files are not supposed to be bigger then 2 GBs. Is there an option while have unlimited size to cut those into CD size chunks?

[buzzqw]

the unlimited is ulimited...

Is there an option while have unlimited size to cut those into CD size chunks?

directly with automkv ... no, but you can load your file in virtualdubmod (the one in \exe\matroska\virtualdubmod in automkv folder), go in file Save As , at bottom for Video select Direct Stream Copy and check Segmented output file and set your size

but i take your suggestion for a future approach :)

@buzzqw

what it the usage for this tag ?

I always have 2 pass (2 .bat) is it possible to have more ?

don't know if it's gonna do a difference.. but just to know

@survivant

no need for 3 pass, 2 pass is enough (and automkv support 2 pass ... no more)

BHH

[survivant]

@buzzqw I know that 2 passes is enough :) just want to know is the tag was used.

a new suggestiona.

#1
You have the option :AVS check and FFMPEG.

you should set check AVS by default. That don't make sense to encode a movie if there are errors. The popup is OK.

If the guy selected FFMPEg : using when x286 failed..
You have an error.. the guy could encode with ffmpeg because he choose it. In my case, I don't want to.. so stop there.

#2 The option Prepare only and pause before encoding.

If you selected prepare only.. the pause before encoding should be disabled.

@buzzqw
Could a multiple filters option be added in the future?
It would be very useful to me coz sometimes i want to pass more then one plugin in some dvds.

Btw, excellent work with AUTOMKV!!!

[nullstuff]

...you can write your chain in filters box.

[Unrealbr]

...you can write your chain in filters box.

-- nullstuff

didnt get it right
this way i.e.?
--RemoveGrain(mode=2) --MipSmooth(preset = "AnimeHQ") --QMLF1_3_motions

[acrespo]

I am trying to convert a avs with xvid in AutoMKV with default profile. The first step (audio part) is OK but when video encoding start automkv load x264 instead xvid_encraw.

[TheRyuu]

...you can write your chain in filters box.

-- nullstuff

Yes thats true.
If you wanted to chain it, it would be like this:
degrainmedian(mode=1).LimitedSharpenFaster().anotherfilter().anotherfilter().etc()

The period "." chains them.

If you wanted to really use multiple filters. Break out the base.avs file present in your automkv/exe/filters folder. Just throw them under #test5 like this:
#test5
a=last
b=a.degrainmedian(blah) #please don't use blah
SeeSaw(a,b, blah...)

Then select none as filters inside of automkv. Let automkv handle cropping/resizing though. Keeps it easy.

As of now, those are the only two ways to use multiple filters. I use the second one so much I just keep a shortcut of base.avs on my desktop :p.

--QMLF1_3_motions
Not sure about QMLF, I think thats a don't use unless you know what your doing kinda thing. (although I really don't know what QMLF even is :eek:)

I am trying to convert a avs with xvid in AutoMKV with default profile. The first step (audio part) is OK but when video encoding start automkv load x264 instead xvid_encraw.

Have you select xvid as your encoder? Sometimes that gets reset on me. Never seen/heard of that happening before. :)

Cya :cool:

There is something really wrong with NicMP4Box.exe. When it's launched it's just fills up HDD untill it's empty. See log below and screenshot showing NicMP4box.exe is not stopping at 100% and continuing past 100 for whatever reasonhttp://www.divshare.com/download/1246166-ce3http://www.divshare.com/download/1246166-ce3

[zacoz]

Great time for a suggestion I know, but...
When "Don't care about size" is selected it changes the "Set Width Resolution" to Original, however the "Resize filters" is left untouched. For aesthetics maybe have this change to NONE. That would also help to draw attention to the change to original width if "Don't care about size" had been accidentally selected and then changed.

Also, is there a configuration setting somewhere I can change to have the Audio Track language always default to English? That way I don't have to go into it every time, or is it saved as part of the Save Configuration in Advanced Settings?

EDIT: Just noticed in the wiki that the setting will be remembered. Is it remembered after AutoMKV is closed and then re-opened?

[zacoz]

#1
You have the option :AVS check and FFMPEG.

you should set check AVS by default. That don't make sense to encode a movie if there are errors. The popup is OK.

If the guy selected FFMPEg : using when x286 failed..
You have an error.. the guy could encode with ffmpeg because he choose it. In my case, I don't want to.. so stop there.
Problem with this is the popup would halt batch mode. Possibly have AVS check deactivated if batch mode activated, or alternatively leave AVS check activated, no popup, and an option not to fallback to FFmpeg encoding (thus letting rest of batch continue).

While on the subject what does the FFmpeg encoding dropdown affect anyway. Mines defaulted to NONE but have had encoding fall back to FFmpeg anyway. Can't find anything about it in the wiki.
