Hi Kurtnoise,

i noticed some small bugs about chapter extraction. Also a bug in vobsub-extraction, but i think it's in mp4box.

YAMB 2.0.0.8 & MP4BOX 0.4.5 DEV.

- When extracting chapters, the timings aren't correct (Much too high, OGG and CUE format). YAMB 1.6 works correctly.

- After extracting some other track and using the back button, chapters can't be extracted anymore (wrong radio-buttons)

- When extracting vobsub's, the index file isn't correct. After remuxing, the subtitles aren't displayed with correct colors anymore in Nero's Showtime (all green).

But anyway, YAMB2 is a great tool :thanks:

Cheers

Hi,

- When extracting chapters, the timings aren't correct (Much too high, OGG and CUE format). YAMB 1.6 works correctly.
depends on how you define "much too high" but I'd say to replace MediaInfo.dll by the new one (the last release from today).

- After extracting some other track and using the back button, chapters can't be extracted anymore (wrong radio-buttons)
ok...

- When extracting vobsub's, the index file isn't correct. After remuxing, the subtitles aren't displayed with correct colors anymore in Nero's Showtime (all green).

Test with a more recent MP4Box build (iirc, it has been fixed) and with an other player...

Chapter extraction are still broken w/ mediainfo.dll 0.7.5.3.

Much too high means:

CHAPTER27=148:33:40.000
CHAPTER27NAME=Chapter 27
CHAPTER28=150:48:04.000
CHAPTER28NAME=Chapter 28

with yamb 2.0.0.8 instead of the correct

CHAPTER27=01:29:08.200
CHAPTER27NAME=Chapter 27
CHAPTER28=01:30:28.840
CHAPTER28NAME=Chapter 28

with yamb 1.6.

Btw. chapters are not added out of mp4's when used in mp4 file creation.

The temp folder bug (post #347 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1047447#post1047447)) is still there.

I think I found the bug, if I set the temp from the GUI it sets it to "Tmp_path=C:\Temp\", notice the additional \, if I remove it, it works.

I meant if you click on "Creation", than "Create MP4", and than add an MP4 file containing i.e. H264, Audio, VOBSUB's and Chapters, than everything is added to the input list except the chapters.

I am having a problem splitting a movie at the precise time I want for the second half of the split. I am trying to split a movie so that the first part of it is a small section that goes from start to the nearest 5 minute multiple. I am using the original video file to make both splits.

The first split works great (eg first half split from start (01:23:02.000 - 01:25:00.000);however, in the second half I just want the left over movie from 1:25:00.000 to the end. When I input the start time (01:25:00.000) and end time (end of the movie), in YAMB 1.6 and the latest release 2.0.0.8 the video start at 1:24:57.000 and goes to the end.

Any thoughts. I am running MP4box from the 2.0.0.8 package on the site.

Also if you get an error once and press back and fix the error it runs correctly but the process box says that it failed to which it did not.

mp4box splits will only start (but not end) at keyframes, so the nearest keyframe is propably at 1:24:57.000

Not got time to read this thread, so apologies if this is the wrong place to post or this issue is known:

Yamb 2.0.0.8 (tho that doesn't seem obvious from the gui - it should be displayed on the about page, no?):

Two bugs:

1) Use case: got an mp4 with one vid track, subs, chapters, two audio tracks. The audio tracks are duplicates. Got an external correct 2nd audio track.

Drop the first mp4 into the mux gui & deselect one audio track. Drop the 2nd mp4 with corrected audio track in. Mux

The result contains the video track included twice.

2) Into mux gui drop separate mp4s with video & audio, an srt file & a chapter file. Mux.

Mux fails after import of srt with error:
Error importing E:\Work\DayWatch\VTS_03_0.English.srt:name=Main:lang=en:par=40:33:font=Arial:size=28: Bad Parameter

The par option shouldn't be there & is either being objected to or is screwing up parsing of following options.

While I'm here, the following is somewhere between bug/minor irritation:
3) If we want to remux an mp4's contents it should be enough to drop the file into the gui & hit next, but if the mp4 contains chapters these will not be included in the output.

Instead they need to be manually exported & readded.

Oh &...
4) I really miss being able to see the command line & modify it before execution. With 2.x one has to quit Yamb, load the log which is only saved after it's quit. Edit the command line & cut & paste into a cmd window. At the very least couldn't 2.x let one view the cmd line?

it's a bug from MP4Box...I just made a workaround to resolve this. Grab the last dev build here (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=mp4tools/&file=MP4Box-0.4.5-dev.zip).

Hi,

I'm trying to split a .mp4 using the latest Yamb 2.0.0.8. The Running process window as well as the logfile indicate that the splitting is complete. But there's a message dialog box which says:

"c:\program files\yamb\mp4box.exe" -splitx 61:1255 myvideo.mp4 doesn't exist.

The logfile also shows that MP4Box is found. I'm using Windows XP Professional SP2.

I've tried performing other tasks like extracting the streams but I get the same message as above. Also tried using other input files.

I'm sure the problem must be something very elementary, although I've read through this thread and searched elsewhere but to no avail.

One more thing. When I close Yamb, Windows gives me the usual crash message:

Yamb.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I would appreciate any help regarding this. Thanks!

Do you get the same error if you supply an absolute pathname for the input file?

Do you get the same error if you supply an absolute pathname for the input file?

Actually, the error message above used the full path for the file, it's just that I've edited it. I clicked on the browse button in the GUI to load my file, which apparently gave you the absolute path.

I've skimmed through the earlier pages in this thread and there seem to be some problem with long pathnames, is it?

Kurtnoise

11th November 2007, 21:06

3 possibilities :
your yamb.exe path is wrong.
your file path is wrong or doesn't exist anymore.
your file path is too long.

3 possibilities :
your yamb.exe path is wrong.
your file path is wrong or doesn't exist anymore.
your file path is too long.

I'm pretty sure the first two are correct. I entered the absolute path to yamb.exe in the Run dialog box and the GUI started. Also, I could play the input file by double-clicking it in Explorer.

As for the file path being too long, I've placed it in the root directory and shortened the filename. But this is the logfile I got:

[06:35:16] : Yamb 2.0.0.8 started !!!
[06:35:16] : OS type detection...Windows XP Professional (version 5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2)

[06:39:44] : Splitting complete.

I get the same error message ("c:\program files\yamb\mp4box.exe" -splitx 61:1255 c:\test.mp4 doesn't exist.) and no output file. And again Yamb crashes when I close it.

Could it have something to do with MP4Box? I tried to run it in a cmd window and it says the system can't execute the program. I've also tried reinstalling ....... :mad:

Do other mp4box use cases work via Yamb? Do they work from the command line? Do other commands applied to that file work? Does any of the above work with another source file? Could it be some sort of permissions issue with mp4box or the source file?

I've tried performing other tasks like extracting the streams but I get the same message as above. Also tried using other input files.

As I've mentioned above, I don't think the problem lies with the source file or the function I'm using.

Could it have something to do with MP4Box? I tried to run it in a cmd window and it says the system can't execute the program. I've also tried reinstalling ....... :mad:

This must probably be the reason: I can't run MP4Box even from the commandline. But I didn't change any access setting etc., not that I know of. How can I check this?

Right click the exe & check Properties->Security->Advanced->Effective Permissions, click Select, enter the user you're running as & click Ok. Here I have all permissions for my admin account.

Also, try with different MP4Box builds...http://kurtnoise.free.fr/mp4tools/

Got it! I'd previously used the build that came with the installer (0.4.5-dev Sep 14, 2007) as well as the recent one (Nov 12, 2007). But today, with versions 0.4.4 (Jun 3, 2007) and 0.4.3 (Aug 28, 2006), I could run MP4Box from the commandline and of course Yamb worked as well.

Merci beaucoup! :thanks:

But I wonder what's wrong with the new builds, as far as I'm concerned?

Right click the exe & check Properties->Security->Advanced->Effective Permissions, click Select, enter the user you're running as & click Ok. Here I have all permissions for my admin account.

I can't get the Security tab enabled despite changing the setting in Control Panel -> Folder Options. Could this be due to the fact that my hard drive is not NTFS? Anyway I didn't modify the downloaded program, so I doubt I could have changed the permission of the file.

Thanks anyway for helping.

mroz

13th November 2007, 23:05

Re file permissions, yes sorry - I was assuming NTFS would be in use with an XP sp2 install. Afaik, FAT doesn't support any file permissioning. At least that eliminates it as the problem - I think.

Very puzzling. Hope the cause is tracked down & posted. I hate loose ends.

Glad you at least have a partial solution though :)

After fooling around a bit with font settings for timed text in different players (and not being happy with the results) I noticed in the mp4box documentation that a compliant decoder for timed text should support all these fonts:

serif
sans-serif
monospace

Now the one guideline I found about subtitles in general is to only use sans-serif fonts. And indeed, when using sans-serif 22 pt as font, all mp4 files have subtitles that look good in all players.
However, I embed this using the command-line. YAMB takes the font from the installed windows fonts and this list contains 'ms serif' and 'ms sans-serif'. If I use these, will this be the same as when putting 'sans-serif' as font type on the command-line? It would be great if yamb had these 3 (as they are the default supported types for players) in a drop-down box and another button called other or advanced to choose any other font.

Kurtnoise

15th November 2007, 09:18

I know that Yamb is not well documented but you can do that already...:)

Select your subtitles in the list and click on Properties. Then, you can specify the font name and the font size you want to use (Font button is also there to open the Fonts Dialog).

15th November 2007, 16:15

I noticed, but I can't type in the box. I have to use the font dialog to select the font and eg sans-serif is not in the list (but ms sans-serif is). Does this font correspond to the 'sans-serif' setting for mp4box?

mroz

16th November 2007, 03:46

Same here - can't type into the font name or size inputs. Also, could we have nicer defaults for name & size? If one forgets to explicitly set them, the tiny serif font that results is virtually unusable.

I'd say yes...

sorry but I don't think this is a good idea...All people don't have the same tastes and habits. So, if I choose a specific font by default, some people might like it and some others don't. Better to let the users to choose this by themself. By default, MP4Box uses 'Serif' as font name with a size of 18.

btw, for the next release, font name/size edit areas will be editable.

mroz

16th November 2007, 14:01

I'd say yes...

Hm, multiquote doesn't work.

Are you sure about the font correspondence? I just muxed a sample with size 24 MS Sans Serif, then extracted the subs to ttxt. Here's the TextStreamHeader.
<TextStreamHeader width="767" height="576" layer="0" translation_x="0" translation_y="0">
<TextSampleDescription horizontalJustification="center" verticalJustification="bottom" backColor="0 0 0 0" verticalText="no" fillTextRegion="no" continuousKaraoke="no" scroll="None">
<FontTable>
<FontTableEntry fontName="MS Sans Serif" fontID="1"/>
</FontTable>
<TextBox top="0" left="0" bottom="576" right="767"/>
<Style styles="Normal" fontID="1" fontSize="24" color="ff ff ff ff"/>
</TextSampleDescription>
</TextStreamHeader>

That's not specifying the standards supported sans-serif & I see no reason why a standalone should know anything about MS named fonts.

/snip yamb specific defaults

sorry but I don't think this is a good idea...All people don't have the same tastes and habits. So, if I choose a specific font by default, some people might like it and some others don't. Better to let the users to choose this by themself. By default, MP4Box uses 'Serif' as font name with a size of 18.

I thought you'd probably not want to override mp4box's default. Damn. What about user configurable defaults?

The mp4box people should really change their default; serif is a very poor choice - much reduced readability on a low res display & you don't need to study hci to figure that out.

btw, for the next release, font name/size edit areas will be editable.

Cool.

BTW Here's a minor bug. Stream extraction: select a track, say a sub, click on the button to change from extract srt to ttxt - the track ceases to show as selected in the list above, making it unclear what will happen when next is clicked on, especially if there are several possible candidate tracks for that type. nb I think this is only cosmetic - ie the correct track is still extracted.

Thanks Kurtnoise13 for putting your time and effort into Yamb. Works very good.

Had a couple of really minor comments.

If you specifiy anything in the track properties tab when adding a chapter file, the resulting file will not play. (ie. language). Yamb completes normally.

Also, if you add a h.264 video stream, aac audio stream, etc and enter the frame rate on the video track properties tab first and then change anything on another track property tab, Yamb asks you again to enter the vidoe frame rate. If you enter the video track properties last (ie. framerate) then it starts muxes without asking again.

Also, is there anyway to alway keep the log file in the yamb folder. It resets to the output folder each restart. Same with the turn off OnFinishEvent checkbox.

I'm using win xp sp2 and the log file for the chapter issue if your interested is

One more comment on PAR...

I must be doing something incorrect...

- If I take a 720 x 480 ntsc anamorphic dvd source with 16:9 aspect ratio and encode the video without cropping or changing the PAR.

- Then if I mux it into a mp4 container and select the aspect ratio of 16:9 NTSC in Yamb, the video size should be either 720 or (480 * 1.78)=854 by 480.

I noticed that Yamb uses 40:33 for a PAR in the mp4box command line.

If I play the video in Media Player Classic, it reports

video size of 873 x 480 ~ 1.82

If I use a custom aspect ratio of 32:27 in Yamb (command line PAR=32:27) and play it in MPC, it reports

video size of 854 x 480 ~ 1.78

Similarly I noticed 720 x 480 ntsc non-anamorphic dvd source with 4:3 aspect ratio encoded as about blah blah...

In Yamb, using the 4:3 NTSC default setting which generates a command line par=10:11

Media player classic reports:
video size of 720 x 528 ~ 1.36

Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x480 (15:11) 23.98fps [Video]

In Yamb, using a custom aspect ratio 8:9 (command line par=8:9)

Media player classic reports:
video size of 720 x 540 ~ 1.33

Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 720x480 (4:3) 23.98fps [Video]

Any insight would be appreciated

Don't know if custom PAR are going to be compatiable with stand alone players or portable devices. This was from the h264 spec.

If you specifiy anything in the track properties tab when adding a chapter file, the resulting file will not play. (ie. language). Yamb completes normally.
mmh...Properties should be disabled when we select chapters file. I'll look at this.

Also, if you add a h.264 video stream, aac audio stream, etc and enter the frame rate on the video track properties tab first and then change anything on another track property tab, Yamb asks you again to enter the vidoe frame rate. If you enter the video track properties last (ie. framerate) then it starts muxes without asking again.
yes and it has been fixed. ;)

Also, is there anyway to alway keep the log file in the yamb folder. It resets to the output folder each restart. Same with the turn off OnFinishEvent checkbox.
for the moment the logfile is overwritten but I can add an option to write the log to the existing file.

About PAR: I see no problems here...

In-fact, just about any aspect ratio signalling value should work - much the same as with software based players ;)

Incorporating these features into mp4Box/Yamb would be nice.

I've no time to add this on MP4Box right now but you can download the last MPEG4IP package on my website and use manually mp4chaps.

Hi, I'm using Yamb v2.0.0.8 and when I demux a MP4 with H264 and AAC Audio I get

Error opening file J:\Sample.mp4: IsoMedia File is truncated

Is there a way to get around with this?

How did you create this file ? Where this sample comes from ? from Apple ?

this is an awesome tool, thanks.

1) One small enhancement would be the ability to read the chapter stream from Nero MP4s. So far, when trying to demux from a nero mp4, i need to extract the OGG chapter from the orginal source because yamb doesn't see the existing chapter stream. It would spead thing considerably if Yamb could read it directly.

2) i would be grateful if someone can enlighten me on what format for chapter marks can be used on my PS3. The nero chapter marks work fine when streaming to another PC with nero showtime, but the PS3 doesn't see these chatper marks

read them directly it's not the problem (I just added chapters detection for MP4 file creation). The problem is : MP4Box erase them when we create a new file from the mp4s. So, I need to extract them first and remux them with others streams. I'll try to include that asap.

I got the same question by someone else by email...Is that you ? I'm not aware about PS3 stuff but I guess that the device is compatible only with QuickTime chapters marks. However, for the moment it's not possible to do that with MP4box/Yamb. You have to use a command line tool (mp4chaps) as I said above.
