Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2 is out... [Archive] - Page 5

I have a problem with Serbian subtitles(SRT, code: 1250 ANSI Central European) after multiplexing with video,audio and chapters....Serbian letters don't display correctly. Don't have this problem with external SRT loading. Any idea ?! Do I have to convert cp1250 to unicode?
I'm using Yamb-2.0_20070311, MP4Box-0.4.3_20070314, and MPC+ffdshow_rev1006_20070307_clsid_sse_icl9(for subtitle decoding)...or I've had to do some tweaking by Haali splitter-7-March-2007?

When I choose "Brand Name"(i.e. "ND HDTV AVC", because that what I've used with Nero Recode-only video encoding by AviSynth) other than "Unspecified" Yamb won't do multiplexing, with "Unspecified" is OK.
By the way custom PAR still don't work ("Properties->Pixel Aspect Ratio->Other...", i.e. 64:45)....or I'm doing something wrong.
(I still have to stick with mp4box commandline for PAR changing)

Which player(s) did you try to play with your file ?

SealTooGreat

18th March 2007, 10:53

And pls, could you fix PAR custom, because MeGUI by default don't put PAR=1:1, and in Nero Recode I have to disable it 'cause of automatic resizing...and I need those default PAR=1:1.....or You can put one more PAR preset (i.e 1:1 Square Pixel)
btw, any news, when will you release Yamb 2.0 with "fake" DAR input?

SealTooGreat

18th March 2007, 11:09

I've also tried saparetly to convert SRT to Gapac TTXT...and it doesn't help.
Note: This options in "Editing" it's a little bit tricky. First you have to choose which format you prefer and than to load subtitle, otherwise it won't let you change format.
*update*
Directshow Players with ffdshow-EastEurope subtitles code(MPC, WMP 11 and 6.4) have a problem to display subtitles correctly....also same is with Nero ShowTime(when for some reason use ffdshow) but with his own filters it doesn't show subtitles at all.
Only with gmplayer2007.02.14.Athlon-64 Celtic Driud built(subfont-encoding=cp1250 in mplayer config), Serbian letters are OK, but can not recognize name i've applied (to subtitles), it says "Unknown"

the subtitles in mp4 are utf-8 always, so try mp4box feeding that

edit: this might very well also be a player issue, not using utf-8 for displaying the subs

I don't know if Yamb by default use utf-8. Could you provide mp4box commandline to enforce utf-8.

I don't know if Yamb by default use utf-8. Could you provide mp4box commandline to enforce utf-8.yamb has nothing to do with the chars. there is no option in mp4box to force utf-8. its your job to feed it a file that uses utf-8

SealTooGreat

18th March 2007, 13:15

^I don't know how to create utf-8 compatible subtitles, but here's my subs ripping workflow:
DVD(.IFO)->SubRip1.5(Save as 1250 ANSI Central European)->SubtitleWorkShop2.51(to fix "informations and errors" and than again save as .SRT)
Does this workflow give me utf-8 compatible subtitle. If not, do you have any suggestion how to make it compatible.
And how am I only having no problem with GMPlayer?
btw, multiplexing with IDX/SUB(only IDX is loaded in Yamb) I have no issue...probably they are pictures, not charts.

18th March 2007, 13:29

Use PSPad to convert CP-1250 or ISO 8895-2 to UTF-8.

SealTooGreat

18th March 2007, 15:15

@Vlada
Could you give a little description how can I do that , using PSPad?

Kurtnoise

18th March 2007, 20:46

SubRip is able to save srt files in utf8 as well...

btw, could you try to summarize your problem coz with all editions in your last posts I'm little bit confused.

SealTooGreat

18th March 2007, 21:50

I've thought that detail reports are always welcome... :)

1. I've muxed subtitle(SRT, code: 1250 ANSI Central European) with h264/aac/chapters, using your Yamb, into MP4.
MPC,WMP+ffdshow can not display my language letters correctly. With GMplayer it's OK....why?!
2. Second thing is PAR custom issue.
3. Problem with choosing "Brand Name" and Yamb's refusing to do multiplexing.
4. Conversation SRT to Gapac TTXT is tricky.

...plz read my previous post carefully, I will just repeat myself.

@naugas:
The preview available is a pre-release of the 2.0...If you speak about the next one, for the moment I can only provide a build with some features disabled (due to the lack of time...not finished yet). Let me know if you are still interested.

@SealTooGreat : ok...I'll look at this asap. Thanks.

20th March 2007, 19:55

I can't find anyone else mention it, but when trying the joining/concatenation editor, nothing happens when pressing "Add", or when trying to drag and drop some mp4 files (except a "+"-sign showing at the cursor, for any file-type). Using preview from 2007-03-11.
Try Yamb-2.0-Preview 2006-Sep-03 (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=Yamb/&file=Yamb-2.0-Preview.zip). joining/concatenation editor is not complete, but it works.

@Kurtnoise13
Could you add "ISMA complaint" to Yamb GUI.
mp4UI and Elecard XMuxer Pro(MP4 settings) have this option.

Custom PAR still doesn't work (there's no command line in the log file).
Why the log file is created ONLY after exiting the Yamb.... make it after/while mux/demux/other process.

edit: I've used 27-april-2007 build

For 3gp files ? Are you sure it's usefull for mp4 ?

I know...haven't check it out. Today, I'll give it a shot.

as you can see, there are some time indications with extra comments and command lines in this log. So, for each processes a message is added in internal, not created at the end. The only thing happens, when you close the GUI, is the writing in the file which is completely different (at least in my point of view).

I'm not an expert (just good observation), but:
1.When you click "Set default" in mp4UI's option tab, "Make ISMA complaint" is automatically checked.
2. Probably there's some good reason why Elecard put this option(for MP4) in XMuxer Pro (it's not default like in mp4UI)
3. QuickTime MPEG-4 Video Export Options (http://helpqt.apple.com/qthelpwr3/english/QuickTimeHelp/pgs/c4qt12.html#1009785)
File Format: To ensure operability with devices made by ISMA members, choose "MP4 (ISMA)." For more information, go to http://www.isma.tv/.
4. mp4box has "-isma" switch, just make it available in your gui, for people like me. :)

So, could you point me how to see log file without Yamb restarting each time i want see the same. It's a bit annoying.
BTW it will raise my efficiency in bug chasing :D

edit1: Have you considered adding "fake" DAR (and let your Yamb convert it to PAR)?

edit2: adding "-isma" via command line gives me "Error: Feature Not Supported". Why?
comand line: "D:\Program Files\DVDRip Programs\MeGUI\tools\mp4box\MP4Box.exe" -par 1=1:1 "Flushed AwayTestPAR.mp4" -isma

edit3: Is there any GUI(for win32) based on mpeg4ip beside mp4UI?

4th May 2007, 09:06

Firstly, thanks for providing a great tool, its definately appreciated by many people!

I understand about the test builds, they work perfectly for me but that doesn't mean its the same for everyone! The new interface is great!

One thing I would like to see, and its a very minor issue, is a programme checker, at least for mp4box that checks the file location given when you first load Yamb, instead of starting the process off then it telling you, where you have to go back and select its location then start again!

ok I'll add it but some media tracks can be removed during the process.

You can't see logfile inside the GUI...For bug tracking, I'll give you some clues for bugs testing/stressing. Maybe tonight or tomorrow when I'll upload a new build.

edit1: Have you considered adding "fake" DAR (and let your Yamb convert it to PAR)?
yes, it's on todo list but not my 1st priority.

comand line: "D:\Program Files\DVDRip Programs\MeGUI\tools\mp4box\MP4Box.exe" -par 1=1:1 "Flushed AwayTestPAR.mp4" -isma
What do you have in this file ? Use this : MP4Box -info xxx.mp4 , to grab some infos.

edit3: Is there any GUI(for win32) based on mpeg4ip beside mp4UI?
For muxing stuff, nope as far I know...For encoding : Handbrake.

What about an auto detection for MP4Box location ? if it's in the same dir of the GUI, the path is automatically loaded.

I've deleted this file, also applied "-isma" to another h264/aac/mp4(animation) and it's working.

And what have you meant by saying "ok I'll add it but some media tracks can be removed during the process." considering -isma switch.

Kurtnoise

4th May 2007, 16:48

MP4Box won't include some media tracks which aren't ISMA compliant to the output file during the muxing process with this switch...

in case mp4box is still limited to certain filesizes, why not trying to build a GUI for mp4creator ? (no, I cant do it myself, was just an idea -.-)

Yeah that sounds great! or maybe if it doesn't find it in the directory when you first start it, it automatically goes to the dialogue screen where you enter the path.

"par=Other..." . How/where did You get this switch???:confused: Why "-ipad" (I didn't select that in GUI)?!

"mp4box -h general" >>> -par tkID=PAR: sets visual track pixel aspect ratio (PAR=N: D or "none") note: there's a space with purpose between : and D , cause I'm getting :D (:D)

Here's my command line when i want to change only PAR:
MP4Box.exe -par 1=64:45 "movie PAR.mp4"
where "1" is the number of track ID. So selecting video->properties Yamb has to recognize track ID, and than put this recognized number in command line. Very useful thinking when MP4 has more than one video stream, otherwise "1" is a constant for only_one_video_stream_in_mp4.

Really don't like custom PAR popup window - make two separate boxes for each values and symbol ":" between them. Visually it's not Yamb looking GUI.

6th May 2007, 16:46

Try the new one...I was so tired yesterday. ;)

SealTooGreat

7th May 2007, 08:07

Now, PAR signalization is working, but try to put several time the same/different vale in "Other..." , "Pixel Aspect Ratio" dropping box will get all that information - it's ugly , why not leave it only on "Other x:y" or better "Custom x:y" - I would prefer "Custom..." over "Other..".
Also put "square pixel 1:1" as default template. By the default MeGUI doesn't put that PAR info in non-anamorphic h264/mp4 stream, unless you manually put "--sar 1:1" or do that by AviSynth DAR script lines. (Nero and MainConcept always put sar/par=1:1 in non-anamorphic 264/mp4 stream)

One question:

mp4box -option "input.mp4#TrackID:option::::option" output.mp4

Where did you get this workable syntax?

Kurtnoise

7th May 2007, 08:21

"square pixel 1:1" = "Undefined" in the list.

About syntax : from gpac sources. There are several ways to get the same things...

SealTooGreat

7th May 2007, 08:38

"square pixel 1:1" = "Undefined" in the list.
Pls, rename "Undefined"(Did you mean "unspecified") to "1:1 Square pixel". Open English dictionary, and look for Undefined/unspecified, you will not find "1:1 Square pixel" ;)
edit: MPEG4Modifier can recognize input PAR showing this in PAR/DAR boxes, can you do the same in Yamb?!

Bug from mediainfo.dll...replace the new one by the last official (0.7.4.7).

Anyway, if you want to add aac streams, you will have also the "same" issue. But this way to fix it, you'll need to upgrade to the new one (the 0.7.4.8...not officially available. only in the cvs).

:rolleyes:
