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

[breadfan]

EDIT: what is the name of audio file ? audio*** ?

EDIT2: please try this one http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV092d.exe


The file name is "audio.mp4".

I will try the new version overnight and post the results tomorrow. Thanx!
edit:
Started the new encode and the bitrate argument looks better (same ts as in last log):
x264.exe --pass 1 --bitrate 5814
I will report tomorrow, when the encode has finished

Recode is done and target size is pretty well reached! Thanx for this great tool... and i will push the paypal button !

@BobGray
not stupid.. not stupid tips!
added in todo list

(and btw i toke more time writing this answer then apply the change in automkv... ;) )

Nice one... :stupid: and I also forget about the VirtualDub response !

I've been following your posts with interest since I never encode .ts files nor do I use a 2-pass strategy !

I usually go for 1 Movie, 1 DVD or simply halve the original file for use on HDD... but
2-pass is pretty kewl when it's usefull... i feel the itch.

BTW
Don't forget to press the big red button.

also.. about "jaggiesand some choppiness" make sure that movie is correctly deinterlaced

BHH

I've been experimenting with a rip of the movie Code 46.

I tried deinterlacing set to Auto, but get noticeable combing (jaggies). Also, during the initial scene where he looks at the landscape from the plane, the roads and field lines jump quite a bit as the camera pans over.

Then I tried setting deinterlacing to Auto with HQ deinterlacing. Finally, I tried setting deinterlacing to None.

The results from all are remarkably similar, with combing evident whenever there is motion. (I am currently trying deintrlacing set to Film with HQ deinterlacing turned on.)

Does anyone have suggestions regarding the settings, so that I can get rid of the combing?

Thanks.

@breadfan

:goodpost:

i will publish tomorrow the update as official (since i fixed something other bugs)

thanks again!

@delacroixp

:confused: red button ?

@Zow
please post log section referred to deinterlace analysis

also.. a sample of vob could be usefull too!

anyway for "combing" i will try the "FILM" deinterlacer

thanks

I'm encoding Moulin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moulin_Rouge!) Rouge (2001) (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1107863-moulin_rouge/) and I never had this kind of problem with Dr DivX (broken - RIP).

AutoMKV encodes the video correctly but the audio includes an extra piece (20th Century Fox intro)...
DivX doesn't rip movies... so there is no problem... it only sees what you give it... no .ifo is necessary.

It's things like this that make encoding interesting...
if it wasn't for all those mighty-big film studios trying to trip up the little man making a backup of his legally acquired DVD's...
life would get awfully boring around here pretty quickly.

PS
AutoMKV is in 2 minds about processing VOB's.
If I "copy-original" audio AutoMKV wont process the entire movie... but
If I encode the audio... it decides to process the whole movie
This can result in a 15GB HDD-encode compared to 8GB. (excluding the extra copy time).

Try decimating.

[buzzqw]

@delacroixp
If I "copy-original" audio AutoMKV wont process the entire movie... but
why ?

anyway i suggest in case of difficult handling source/rip to hand made the d2v (and audio), then feeding automkv with these files

@Nightshiver
Try decimating.

just for reference.. FILM and DECIMATING use the same approach TFM(d2v="XXX.d2v").Tdecimate()

BHH

[Zow]

Ripped using Film, and the combing is gone:-)

Also, for some reason the file is considerably smaller (by almost 20%).

THANKS!

[buzzqw]

@Zow

the framerate is now 23.976 and not 29.97 ... so .. less frames .. less size :)

BHH

[Mclfln]

Preferring quality over size, and hopefully maintaining the 5.1 audio...

What would you recommend as the optimum format and settings for streaming to Xbox 360.

Thanks,
Matt

[Zow]

buzzqw, you ROCK. And I do mean it.

Everything is good now: I get my multichannel DD/DTS, the quality is great. This IS the best designed and best balanced converter/ripper GUI I have found (and I've tried them all.) So, thank you again:thanks:

Two, additional questions for those who have done more experimenting than I have:

1. Is there a noticeable quality benefit from setting a number lower than Constant 18 (now that I've gained some size allotment by ripping in Film mode.)

2. Checking off High Quality next to Film Deinterlacing advises that it takes a long time. I can't tell that it takes much longer, or that it provides a great benefit, compared to ripping with High Quality unchecked. What exactly does it do?

3. Is there a way to make Film mode do exactly 24 frames/ps (the rate at which the film is actually shot?) My monitor can do 3:3 pulldown, so I could squeeze a little extra quality if I eliminate the slowing down to 23.976. Not a big deal, but it may be worth doing it, if there is an adjustment.

[buzzqw]

@Mclfln

first of all Welcome to the Forum

streaming to Xbox 360.
streaming to xbox360 ?

but now isn't xbox360 able to play divx/xvid ?

i havn't an xbox360 (but a PS3), and for i can stream using tvversity... but i prefer converting to ps3/mp4 format

for xbox360 i will encode in Aiv/XviD using the SAP profile for the most secure compatibility

@Zow
buzzqw, you ROCK. And I do mean it.
:thanks: always appreciated :)

Is there a noticeable quality benefit from setting a number lower than Constant 18 (now that I've gained some size allotment by ripping in Film mode.)

i will not go down 16. 18 is matemathically the CQ 2 of XviD, so 16 and 17 will be even better.. try 17 , quality should be same as original

Checking off High Quality next to Film Deinterlacing advises that it takes a long time. I can't tell that it takes much longer, or that it provides a great benefit, compared to ripping with High Quality unchecked

well HQ for FILM/Decimating do nothing..
look here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=937978#post937978
HQ Deint will apply a different approach only for Interlaced content not for FILM content

Is there a way to make Film mode do exactly 24 frames/ps

sorry for the answer.. but i don't know :o
maybe using Decimate filter (Neuron2 filter) manually.. but.. i don't know.. i live in PAL land.. so my knowldge is more focused on interlacing.. not film . sorry!

BHH

[survivant001]

@buzzqw. did you update automkv ps3 profile to generate x264 compatible with the PS3 ?

I found a post telling that we need to use at least x264 build 699i_pulldown with the options : --aud --nal-hrd

if not, can you make the profile3 output compatible with Encore CS3 ? (for the audio enc2wav to create a ac3 -> ac3)

[Poopoo]

Hello everyone :)

I have 2 problems converting a King Kong DVD (1 VOB of 6.80GB into a 2CD Xvid AVI.

1) I wasn't able to manually crop or resize because the Preview window thinks the movie is only 23 frames, so I couldn't navigate to a certain frame to apply croppings. The VOB plays perfectly fine using MPC.

2) I expected a 1400 MB file output or 2 * 700 MB files,
but automkv092d finished with 3 files :eek:
kingkong.00.avi (696MB)
kingkong.01.avi (696MB)
kingkong.02.avi (11.3MB)


These are thus the settings I used :

http://i7.tinypic.com/8bejm0k.jpg
http://i13.tinypic.com/6pg6lb4.jpg


Please, what did I do wrong, or how can I make it preview correctly, and how can I get it to only encode 2 700MB files ?

Thanks !:helpful:

streaming to xbox360 ?
but now isn't xbox360 able to play divx/xvid ?


For all of 3 days, yeah. And it's not very good at it. No subtitle support for example. Nor does it respect aspect ratio automatically..

MP4 subtitle support is not in either.

A couple of questions wrt h.264 encoding - X360 doesn't want to see higher than 4.1 profile material. So the appropriate profile to use is the PS3 4.1?

What about the quality-setting.. q18 would be like q3 for xvid?

I'm going to experiment a bit with making those 720p recodes with burned subs using h.264 instead of WMV9/VC1 .. It seems the h.264 is considerably faster than WVC1 profile, but I'm not sure if the quality settings are comparable with the default h264 profiles.. Should probably dig into the h264 settings this weekend :rolleyes:

yea, i will not be disappointed!

@survivant001
you have forgot a lot of things.. ;)

and adding "--aud --nal-hrd" would make it standard ?
... don't cause problem with ipod/ps3/... ?

BHH

[Barleyman]

yea, i will not be disappointed!

Actually, you will be..

You can't use AC3 with MP4. You can't use h.264 with AVI. X360 doesn't do either 5.1 AAC or MKV.

So the only way to make HD rip with multi-channel audio for X360 is to use WMV, meh. Since I want subtitles, I have to encode the damn thing with burned subs anyways.

For someone else, hacking the h.264 level to 4.1 and converting to AAC pro logic II might be better solution.

..

Incidentally, PS3 DOES support 5.1 AAC, doesn't it?

What about MP4 subs?

[buzzqw]

You can't use AC3 with MP4.

not a problem of x264.. just a matter of muxer...(you can use gdsmux by haali)

Incidentally, PS3 DOES support 5.1 AAC, doesn't it?
you need an amplifier (maranz, denno...) that accept aac audio.. otherwise even with optical link (like one i use) you got stereo...

What about MP4 subs?
both graphical and textual.. don't know how are handled by ps3.. never tryed

BHH

[Barleyman]

Err.. AC3 in MP4? That's not standard for sure.

[survivant001]

for ac3 with x264 you need to put them in a .vob or ts container.

you can mux them using ffmpeg (.vob)

but I prefer Encore CS3 -> bluray structure -> overright files from tsremux and you will have a AVCHD that play on PS3 or just copy the .ts or m2ts generated from Ecnore CS3 directly on a dvd.

I mean, so it is normal to get 3 AVI files in a 2CD encoding, and no option to crop or resize ????:scared:

[delacroixp]

Hello everyone :)

I have 2 problems converting a King Kong DVD (1 VOB of 6.80GB into a 2CD Xvid AVI).

1) I wasn't able to manually crop or resize because the Preview window thinks the movie is only 23 frames,
so I couldn't navigate to a certain frame to apply croppings.
The VOB plays perfectly fine using MPC.

2) I expected a 1400 MB file output or 2 * 700 MB files, but automkv092d finished with 3 files :eek:
kingkong.00.avi (696MB)
kingkong.01.avi (696MB)
kingkong.02.avi (11.3MB)

These are the the settings I used :
Basic Settings (http://i7.tinypic.com/8bejm0k.jpg)
Advanced Settings (http://i13.tinypic.com/6pg6lb4.jpg)

Please, what did I do wrong, or how can I make it preview correctly, and how can I get it to only encode 2x700MB files ?

Thanks ! :helpful:

the linked build should be more correct in bitrate computation, so you "will" got 2 cd

the resize can be done automatically be settings the WIDTH but if you want to set both width/height and crop values, you must use teh manual crop fuction in advanced settings

Very beautifull, smart and sophisticated... wayyy better than my assembly-line churn-them-out approach.
The Dr DivX tool is still useful for extras or documentaries where a variety of formats have been joined together to create many different mattes sizes.
I'm just a little surprized though, that you still promote anamorphic encoding Step 06:00 - Enjoy your new anamorphic 720x??? MPEG-4 cropped and re-sized ... (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1034465#post1034465)

Firstly:
I could understand if you were cropping but still maintaining the original pixels and aspect ratio...
But since you're not and X264 so intuitively supports "What You See is What You Get"...
it seams almost logical to re-adjust the AR (2.164 in your Lawrence of Arabia example [1000/462]).

Secondly:
You've oversampled quite drastically since the original DVD arrangement has:
706 x 462 = 326,172 pixels (706 x 462 where 706 = 1000 x 9/16 -try working from an anamorphic snapshot).
Your upscaled anamorphic encode has:
720 x 516 = 371,638 pixels
That's a 14% increase in pixels from the original DVD.

Thirdly:
If you do maintain a similar number of pixels which in your case is 326,172 then:
832 x 384 = 320,000 pixels is pretty close and miraculously, also, mod 16.
I would prefer (depending on the quality of the DVD):
864 x 400 = 345 kp and then let MKV signal 866 x 400 to maintain the correct DAR.

it seams almost logical to re-adjust the AR (2.164 in your Lawrence of Arabia example [1000/462]).I think you're forgetting that 462 pixels is not divisible by 16, ie: it does not conform to mod-16 (in-fact it does not even conform to mod-8 or mod-4). Which is why you have to re-size to 464 pixels.

Secondly:
Your upscaled anamorphic encode has:
720 x 516 = 371,638 pixels
That's a 14% increase in pixels from the original DVD.No it does not, it contains 720x464 pixels. Just two pixels more in height than the original DVD image element.

Thirdly:

864 x 400 = 345 kp and then let MKV signal 866 x 400 to maintain the correct DAR.If you want to create "square pixel" encodes, with a lower vertical image resolution than the source, then that's up to you. My post is all about generating encodes using "non-square" (ie: anamorphic) pixels.

Quite right... my error !!!

Yah, sure, 2 pixels more in height... but 14 more pixels in width...
What's wrong with 704x464 signalled to 1004x464 (if you're using MKV).

It looks like a perfectly good anamorphic encode to me... what's with the magic "720".


:):devil::D
Pascal


ps
I realise that an an Mpeg2 PAL 16:9 anamorphic DVD requires that a 720x576 frame be stretched to 1024x576... but
once you transcode into H264, you could equally well encode into a 400x400 array and then stretch the final movie to 711x400.
What's the advantage of maintaining the anamorphic crutch or kludge (http://catb.org/jargon/html/K/kludge.html) ?

@Minsk1

don't write capitalized, it's shouting

the 5.1 AC3 audio is got only muxing the video and audio file (ac3) into a m2ts or vob
the 5.1 AAC is playable at 5.1 only if your amplifier is able to decode aac audio

i can suggest to try AutoMen (more easy and secure on mkv to ps3) or mkv2vob application

Hello everyone, and my respects to buzzqw !


I'm a total "new" guy around here (well, I registered some time ago, but went idle for encoding related tasks for a while), so I hope you'll receive my first post well ;-)

First, a big bunch of congratulations to the author, and thanks to the friend that made me discover your work.


My particular interest in it, besides beeing a quite friendly mkv-mp4 encoder, was the batch jobs capability. Really helps to encode a whole TV series in one row. So I soon had a little script written in python, generating the "queueX.ini" job files for me, assembling data from a text list and a template file.

So with this comes my first questions. Would anyone have an interest in me sharing it ? If yes, would you mind telling me where it would be best to do it ?


And then, beeing around since version 0.80, maybe before, I noticed multiple inteface choices that weren't replicated to batch jobs have appeared, like "Source on DVD" (refers to "Select PGC", right ?) that should spare me from ripping every episode individually in separated VOBs, and warmly welcome the "Del temp files" checkbox ! What I still wonder is: The "Force Muxing AR" option doesn't appear in the job file, does it ?

I wonder if it coud be useful in a case where I don't resize the movie coming from a DVD and therefore need to specify a final aspect ratio to be specified in the mkv container to adjust from original "non-square pixels". Because I tried everything from "Anamorphic encoding" from "Force ITU Resize" and still can't get the benefits of a manual setting I can do with MKVtoonix that specifies the correct aspect ration for file play. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction ? Can anyone point me right in this case ?

Unrelated other strange stuff I noticed: Apparently, "Output Folder" parameter doesn't get along well with batch job when something else than a path on the standard C: partition is specified (tried to write somewhere on a D: path). It looks like the problem occurs for final file generation, because all the encoding goes well, there are temp files, but nothing final. I'll have to check if the .mp4 file was generated successfuly or not, though (not totally sure).


That was it for the autoMKV-specific questions, allow me now to submit a few ideas.

My first big one, as a "batch job" type of user, would be to suggest a "service capable" version of autoMKV. Let me explain...

The goal would be to have it really running "as a service", so that it is "immune" to logon/logoff, allowing for working stations to be used for encoding with minimal impact on usability.

To my knowledge this could be achieved rather simply, by having autoMKV polling a folder and automatically encoding any jobs he finds in it. A little layer of configuration with srvany and this would probably be it.

An other idea that might look much more of a "fashion" or maybe even a stupid one, but would there be a possibility/interest/will to do a 64bit release ? Wondering if it would provide performance improvement...


If you allow me, a few last questions about options available...

I saw an option about 3 pass encoding, I've heard 3rd pass is mostly about beeing precise "to the single bit" on final size. Is there any other use, any good impact on quality ?

And the very last: what's the use of "HQ first pass", much more details on movie statistics ?

Thanks for your attention !

First of all Welcome to the Forum!

So I soon had a little script written in python, generating the "queueX.ini" job files for me, assembling data from a text list and a template file.
DOH! my best regards!

Would anyone have an interest in me sharing it ?
yes.. even if the queue isn't the robust part of program

that should spare me from ripping every episode individually in separated VOBs
automkv achive this result by checking if dvd driver selected is NONE or d: e: ...

anyway i take note of your suggestion !

Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction ? Can anyone point me right in this case ?
and me too.. i must admit that automkv reflect my doubt on anamorphic.. i will re re re study the question, promise!

It looks like the problem occurs for final file generation
i wil check it..

The goal would be to have it really running "as a service", so that it is "immune" to logon/logoff, allowing for working stations to be used for encoding with minimal impact on usability.
yes.. this request arise from time to time.. but.. don't know if will be ever done.. maybe i will add first to automen

An other idea that might look much more of a "fashion" or maybe even a stupid one, but would there be a possibility/interest/will to do a 64bit release ? Wondering if it would provide performance improvement...
automkv will use from 0 to 3% of cpu.. all processing/comsuming power is used by encoder.. there will be no benefit from building automkv as 64bit application

I saw an option about 3 pass encoding, I've heard 3rd pass is mostly about beeing precise "to the single bit" on final size. Is there any other use, any good impact on quality ?
will be amatter of quality not of precision (btw the 0.92d is much corrected on computing bitrate)

And the very last: what's the use of "HQ first pass", much more details on movie statistics ?
both xvid and x264 can run the first pass at more speed... deactivating some options that will be activated only at seocnd pass.
this boost of speed (near x3 the hq first pass) will produce little less quality on final encoding (a matter of decimal point on psnr), the hq first pass will force automkv to do 2 pass encoding at the same options

@buzzqw

I try x264 patch 669 pulldown.. it work in Encore CS3. but I need to force the fps to 23.976 and not 24. my source was 24fps. (1080p) just need to find a script to extract the ac3 from the .mkv and convert it with aften to get a valid ac3 file in Encore CS3. (I was using foobar + besweet/belight) but it seem there are audio sync problem.. I new way it seem to work better with foobar + encwavtoac3.

I would like to use directly automkv to do all that.

any comments ?



here the command line (only for testing. I didn't try to convert it to 2 pass, and change the options)

My particular interest in it, besides beeing a quite friendly mkv-mp4 encoder, was the batch jobs capability. Really helps to encode a whole TV series in one row. So I soon had a little script written in python, generating the "queueX.ini" job files for me, assembling data from a text list and a template file.
Pretty awesome !


I wonder if it coud be useful in a case where I don't resize the movie coming from a DVD and therefore need to specify a final aspect ratio to be specified in the mkv container to adjust from original "non-square pixels". Because I tried everything from "Anamorphic encoding" from "Force ITU Resize" and still can't get the benefits of a manual setting I can do with MKVtoonix that specifies the correct aspect ration for file play. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong direction ? Can anyone point me right in this case ?

I'm not a biggg anamorphic encoding fan but MKV's ability to signal and re-adjust the DAR is priceless... I love the finetuning.
It really fascilitates cropping and maintaining MOD 16 encoding.
AutoMKV's ability to remember Force Mux W*H (http://i13.tinypic.com/6pg6lb4.jpg) , especially in batch jobs, would be welcome.

To my knowledge this could be achieved rather simply, by having autoMKV polling a folder and automatically encoding any jobs he finds in it. A little layer of configuration with srvany and this would probably be it.

I've never been a major fan of batch encoding, even with Dr DivX, since each encode takes quite long anyway.
That said, Dr DivX had a "Watch Folder" system to automatically load up a bunch of movies from a folder according to a specified profile...
It's certainly usefull for the assembly-line enthusiast.

I encode on a workstation (multiple family desktops) and "Switch User" works fairly well (not totally secure).



would there be a possibility/interest/will to do a 64bit release ? Wondering if it would provide performance improvement...

I'm not sure that even a 64-bit release of the encoder would have any performance increase.
64-bit addressing helps in dealing with large (TB) databases, but X264 really only deals with a few frames at any one time.
Besides, X264 is pretty much maxed-out on most systems...



And the very last: what's the use of "HQ first pass", much more details on movie statistics ?

both xvid and x264 can run the first pass at more speed... deactivating some options that will be activated only at seocnd pass.

Interesting... nice to know !

Is there any other use, any good impact on quality ?

There may be a small increase in quality but 1-pass CQ-CRF (constant quality profile) is pretty much as good as it gets... and
it seams like the way to go if 'precise' filesize is unimportant.
There is some leeway in attaining approximate filesizes by adjusting "Q vs Resolution" which usually works pretty well after a little practice.

(A little consistency is always welcome)

@jellyfish2002

bitrate is 31xxxx ?
what about first pass of log ?

@breadfan

:( yes, look at bitrate, the same as before

i will try to track down the problem.

EDIT: what is the name of audio file ? audio*** ?

EDIT2: please try this one http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV092d.exe

stay tuned

@buzzqw & delacroixp

Thanks a lot for your answers !




automkv achive this result by checking if dvd driver selected is NONE or d: e: ...


Just to be sure and precise: My goal would be to be able to select the "track" I want to encode when selecting files on HDD coming from a full DVD rip containing multiple episodes, rather than having to rip every episode separately in a dedicated folder.


anyway i take note of your suggestion !


Thanks ! Means this can't be achieved yet, I guess ;-)
So this "source on DVD" parameter rather specifies if the path is on a DVD media or on a HDD, then ?



i will re re re study the question, promise!


Don't bother for too long, I'll probably switch to a "resize" solution, because this will better help avoid displaying "hazards" depending on the final viewer's personal settings and player...



I encode on a workstation (multiple family desktops) and "Switch User" works fairly well


For sure. But for a Windows environment with computers tied to a domain controller, this functionality fades away ;-)



automkv will use from 0 to 3% of cpu.. all processing/comsuming power is used by encoder.. there will be no benefit from building automkv as 64bit application


Ok. But as mentioned by delacroixp, my thought was more of a "full 64bit" package release, with all third-party stuff (especially encoders) also 64bits.

But a bit of searching showed that this hasn't been done yet for x264, and wouldn't bring much benefits anyway...

Looks like I won't get much further than 13 fps on insane quality 2nd pass:-D


About those HD first pass and 3rd pass settings, it's not integrated in encoding job config files either, is it ?

Had to specifiy manually in the inteface and tick "use this profile" so see it happening. It's indeed much longer !


I'll get back there with my python script in a while, a few things to clean and do in a prettier way before publishing ;-)

[buzzqw]

i will release a new full package next week.. so any reports are more then welcome (as usuall)

now i added on queue
Force Mux AR
Force Mux W*H
High Quality First Pass
Do the Third Pass

Thanks ! Means this can't be achieved yet, I guess ;-)
afaik the queue is fully fuctional (:D) both on dvd ripped and to rip, and so the pgc selection

Ok. But as mentioned by delacroixp, my thought was more of a "full 64bit" package release, with all third-party stuff (especially encoders) also 64bits.
anyone can "repack" automkv with new filters set, but licence must be respected

Had to specifiy manually in the inteface and tick "use this profile" so see it happening. It's indeed much longer !
:sly:

i had the code for integrating a full non linear editor, with 4 video and 6 audio tracks, with transitions.. but why do it? :devil:

Insane quality is probably overkill unless you have a very special need.

The best ways to increase speed are :
1) New hardware... a quad-core can really boost your day and actually "create time".
2) CQ-CRF profile will reduce your time significantly while maintaining quality.
3) Reducing the resolution can also play it's part.

I like to maintain a high resolution of "width > 800" (PAL 16:9) but a quad-core is a very real alternative.
