Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2 is out...

[Kurtnoise]

It seems that the problem is in the audio streams...it cannot concatenate them properly. :-/ I'll report the bug on SF.

[Schrade]

Kurtnoise, the setting "Store file with all media data first (useful for streaming)." does the opposite.

If you leave it unchecked, it puts the moov atom first. If you check it, it puts mdat first.

[Kurtnoise]

nope..this is correct.

[Schrade]

Yay, thanks! Can you let us know when you put up a compiled dev version on your site with the fix please?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi Kurt,

There appears to be an "Indicated track size" PAR muxing anomaly with the newest MP4Box builds.

Older MP4Box builds correctly state the following: -Track # 1 Info - TrackID 201 - TimeScale 25000 - Duration 00:00:50.800
Media Info: Language "Undetermined" - Type "vide:mp4v" - 1270 samples
MPEG-4 Config: Visual Stream - ObjectTypeIndication 0x20
MPEG-4 Visual Size 720 x 432 - Advanced Simple Profile @ Level 5
Pixel Aspect Ratio 64:45 - Indicated track size 1024 x 432
Synchronized on stream 1

Whereas recent v0.4.5 builds state the following: -Track # 1 Info - TrackID 201 - TimeScale 25000 - Duration 00:00:50.800
Media Info: Language "Undetermined" - Type "vide:mp4v" - 1270 samples
MPEG-4 Config: Visual Stream - ObjectTypeIndication 0x20
MPEG-4 Visual Size 720 x 432 - Advanced Simple Profile @ Level 5
Pixel Aspect Ratio 64:45 - Indicated track size 720 x 432
Synchronized on stream 1

Are you able to confirm whether this issue may somehow be related to how MP4Box has been compiled?


Cheers mate

[Kurtnoise]

If you leave it unchecked, it puts the moov atom first. If you check it, it puts mdat first.
After reading once again your statement, I must confess that this is the MP4Box way. By default, media data are stored at the end of the stream.

mdat = media data

[Kurtnoise]

Are you able to confirm whether this issue may somehow be related to how MP4Box has been compiled?
I can confirm this issue...but this is not related to the compilation stuff.

i have made a number of test videos from a single source - fight club dvd.

1 x recode 2 - 2pass 1.5mbps
1 x recode 3 - 2pass 1.5mbps
1 x megui PS3 profile (crf 18 though)
1 x recode 2 video - remux with yamb
1 x recode 3 video - remux with yamb

the recode 2 & 3 stream perfectly to the PS3 with TVersity and with Nero MediaHome.

Those same videos remuxed with yamb start and stop continously so it is not possible to watch the video. (they do play if copied to the ps3)
also i have tried the 4.4 mp4box and the latest 4.5 dev build. same results.

the megui ps3 profile also does not stream as with the remuxed versions.

[SeeMoreDigital]

I can confirm this issue...but this is not related to the compilation stuff.I presumed as much.

I can't imagine Cera implemented this feature on purpose. So I guess it must be a bug?

[Kurtnoise]

@SMD: probably...

@gwaitsi: I'll look at this...but its not my priority.

[gwaitsi]

kurtnoise

i can tell you that video with chapter marks in mp4 streams ok
as does the audio with chapter marks in mp4 stream ok

It is only when the audio is muxed with the video that the streaming is broken.

cheers

[gwaitsi]

kurtnoise, i solved my problem by turning off "save file with all media data first" and the mux file streams ok.

cheers

[Kurtnoise]

aaa great...it was your fault. ;)

[Kurtnoise]

Hi,


I'm looking for people who have some MP4/3GP compatible devices (PSP, PS3, iPod, iPhone, etc...) to do some tests. Please send me a mail (kurtnoise at free dot fr) or via PM if you're interested. I'll give you some packages.


:thanks:

[titof]

Hello
I think i have a bug (yamb or mp4box, I'm not sure)
I try to extract raw form a mp4 file (usually it's ok) But this file is a 720p 60(frames per seconde)
When i play the raw file (*.h264) it's slow. When I open it in mediainfo, it's a 30fps :scared:
I tryed with other files in 60fps, allways the same probleme

When I play the original file in media player, it's the good speed

Thanks for yamb ! It's a very good tool

[Kurtnoise]

Could you upload a file please ?

[titof]

Here
http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/static/2007/10/xacti/sany0243.mp4

or

http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/static/2007/10/xacti/sany0245.mp4

Good luck

[Kurtnoise]

well...I don't think there is an issue here. Just use the appropriate fps value when you remux your file.

[titof]

OK, it's my actual solution.
Thanks

Yamb 2.0.0.8
WinXP

- Please allow to specify separate destination folders (output) for specific actions (file extraction). Speed gains with 2 HDDs are huge.
- When pressing 'Help' two instances of Firefox open up.

I try to set a new audio delay (-250ms) thus i demux and remux with new settings (media delay). I'm not sure if this is just metadata. If so, it would be nice to have it implemented in Yamb.

Edit: Not sure how it is meant to be done with yamb but changing 'media delay' changes values in video and audio. That's not what i want... i'll take a look at mp4box if its possible at all.

[facialz]

Kurtnoise13, thank you for soon reply. I try the 20080217 beta it on the same .avi file. However, it doesn't seem to work and the outcome appears to be the same as before :( .

Also, with the last beta, if I run Yamb.exe and try to exit immediately (without converting anything) it displays the following error dialog:

Yamb
--------------------------------------------------------
Access violation at address 00562E27 in module 'Yamb.exe'. Read of address 00000030.
--------------------------------------------------------
OK

[Kurtnoise]

Let me guess...you have overwritten the old yamb package by the new one ?

If yes, remove yamb.cfg file and reload yamb.exe.

[facialz]

Yes, I have.

If yes, remove yamb.cfg file and reload yamb.exe.
I follow your advice. Now it works great.

Thank you very much.

[Schrade]

Kurtnoise13: Found another bug.

It appears that YAMB isn't putting quotes around any Copyright (-cprt) entries for the mp4box commandline.

Also, it seems to have problems detecting audio tracks from certain .mov files. My example is the 1080p Wall*E trailer: http://movies.apple.com/movies/disney/wall-e/wall-e-tlr3_h1080p.mov

When trying to extract streams only the video track is shown in YAMB.

Edit: Oh yeah, this is with the latest dev version of mp4box and latest build of YAMB.

could you try to upgrade to the last MediaInfo.dll and tell me what's happen ? (i.e replace the old one by the new one from the SF webpage).

[Schrade]

OK will give it a shot. The version I was using was 0.7.6.0.

Edit: Just tested and it was able to work just fine, thanks.

I still get an error popup if I hit Cancel after loading that video:

[Kurtnoise]

not a bug...MP4Box is very "sensitive" in the parsing from mov files. Remux it with Avidemux first.

[kretin]

I have a PAL h264 file which has lost it's 16x9 par, so now it displays at 4x3.

I have tried using Yamb to create an mp4 with the correct aspect ratio (16:9 or 1024x576), but am having difficulty doing it. PAL 16:9 setting displays at 1047x576, Custom 16:9 displays at 1280x576. What setting can I use so the mp4 displays at 1024x576?

[SeeMoreDigital]

What setting can I use so the mp4 displays at 1024x576?You need to enter: 64:45


Cheers

[kretin]

Wohoo, thanks heaps that worked!

Out of interest, how does the maths work for those numbers?

[burfadel]

I updated the mediainfo.dll file that came with the latest YAMB, it doesn't work properly! Yamb comes up when you try and add files to the mux as:

" is not an integer value

where " is an actual "!
It still adds h264 video files, but does not add aac files, such as those output from Neroaacenc.

I think the last version to work was 0.7.6.1 or 0.7.6.2. Is this a bug in mediainfo or a bug in yamb? In theory the later versions should work just fine?...

[vlada]

In theory the later versions should work just fine?...

No, always use only the one version which comes with the application you use. There are many changes in MediaInfo which cause backward incompatibility.

[Kurtnoise]

Yes...I get some troubles with several builds (I compile the library myself). Just stay with the one from the last beta package for the moment.

[burfadel]

Ah ok! I guess thats why there's a Winsxs folder... (in terms of other programmes I mean). Its unfortunate that things aren't always backwards compatible, people with Vista SP1 if they looked would find that backward compatibility costs several GB, and for some people this may be as high as 10GB or more!

[rack04]

I can't get the AAC track to be identified using the latest beta. I tried updating the mediainfo.dll with the the one from 0.7.7.0 but it crashed. Any ideas?

This (http://movies.apple.com/movies/independent/the_unknown_woman/the_unknown_woman_h720p.mov) is the file I'm working with.

[burfadel]

Apparently YAMB doesn't work properly with the builds of mediainfo later than the one bundled with it. I think mediainfo must have changed slightly in the builds that came out after the one supplied with the latest beta!

That was outlined in the posts immediately preceding yours!

[rack04]

That was outlined in the posts immediately preceding yours!

I read the post! Just trying to provide a bug report to Kurtnoise13 with a sample file.

[artisanicview]

Please, you can add an option to add Soft Subtitles to mp4 to view them in iPhone or iPod Touch, something like this:

http://www.iphonehellas.gr/861/muxo-adds-soft-subtitle-to-iphone/

I have an iPhone and I cant find a software for Windows to do this! Unfortunately Muxo is available only for OSX and the developer seems to not wish to add support for Windows.

[Kurtnoise]

You have to use 3gp file format to do that with the current build...

[jmnk]

Where is the 'ipod' option in yamb? In other words - how do I create mp4 file that plays on Ipod (touch)?

[Kurtnoise]

this option is hidden by default...you have to click on the arrow in the bottom of the page to show up this.

[jmnk]

this option is hidden by default...you have to click on the arrow in the bottom of the page to show up this.
thanks. I think I finally found it. Now, any idea if for ipod touch I should use 'ipod' option, or 'iphone' option?

[nickolasemp]

thanks. I think I finally found it. Now, any idea if for ipod touch I should use 'ipod' option, or 'iphone' option?

Just as anyone would do, just try it out and see which one works.

Now, Kurtnoise13, is there any chance not to encode it as 3gp standard and just put them in a softwarewise inside an mp4?
Is that on your future plans?

[gwaitsi]

Kurt

I take a AVI (Xvid + mp3 - 2channel) and it streams to my pS3 over a wireless connection with no problems.

If i use yamb to then extract the streams and create an mp4 file, this file starts and stops when streaming.

i am curious why simply changing the container should cause this problem?

I have tried also converting the mp3 -> mp4 and it also has a problem with breaks in the streaming.

Any ideas please. i have this problem when i use x264 to create files as well.

thanks

[gwaitsi]

you fixed this once before, but the old bug is in there again.

Can't extract subtitle or chapter streams. Looks like it is extracting but nothing is saved.

[Appu]

Good work!..

Couple of questions..

1) It doesn't seems to be supporting transport streams. Though mp4Box supports it.

2) I tried creating an mp4 file with H.264 ES. Yamb didn't give any error message, but still I couldn't see the created files. But the mp4Box itself fails for this file as the initial part of the es stream is corrupted. Suggestion is to give some error message for this.
