Hi Sirber
Oh....Is this affect bencos development process?

Today i encode a video file which have two english subtitle like 1:English OP/ED/Titles(Default) 2: Main English Subtitles...when i m encoding with bencos it only add first subtitle that is OP/ED not both. Can it possible to add both english subtitle?

Can u find a way how to correctly encode 5.1 channel audio with 32Kbs AAC HE+PS.

Hi Sirber

you must be talking about ffmpeg. Well, it shouldn't affect bencos, but ffmpeg will be just updated less frequently.

Today i encode a video file which have two english subtitle like 1:English OP/ED/Titles(Default) 2: Main English Subtitles...when i m encoding with bencos it only add first subtitle that is OP/ED not both. Can it possible to add both english subtitle?

Should work in the next relase with ZEYsoft' improvements.

Can u find a way how to correctly encode 5.1 channel audio with 32Kbs AAC HE+PS.

Impossible whitout downmixing to stereo, and this doesn't work with ffmpeg.

some errors in multi-audio handling (svn r135):

http://i51.tinypic.com/27y6qe.png

in %temp% I have "audio.ogg" instead of "audio0.ogg" and "audio1.ogg":

[edit]

code should work...
sAudioOut := '"' + sTemp + 'audio' + IntToStr(iCount) + '.ogg"';

I think it's an old shortcut. It's not in the installer anymore.
You should edit it manually.

Sirber

5.1 channel issue is not a big problem take u r time to fix this.

in the next release (probably today) Sample.mkv gets encoded with all audio track downsampled to 2.0 (if 5.1 audio) and normalized. :)

[edit]

5.1 -> 2.0 tracks have a lower audio quality than already stereo ones, at 32kbps..

what do you think about this feature idea?

you know, every re-encoding is causing quality drops. also, every encoder produces it's typical artifact no matter how low the quantizer is (unless it's lossless) that will be amplified in a subsequent encode.

Sirber

true... bad idea :)

Probably next winter :)

@Sirber

ffmpeg has preset and tune options now for x264 options

May 3, 2011
FFmpeg now accesses x264 presets via libx264. This extends functionality by introducing several new libx264 options including -preset, -tune, and -profile. You can read more detailed information about these options with "x264 --fullhelp".

The syntax has changed so be sure to update your commands. Example:
ffmpeg -i input -vcodec libx264 -preset fast -tune film -profile main -crf 22 -threads 0 output

source ffmpeg news area -> http://www.ffmpeg.org/

so just a heads up if you want to code it and remove those text file presets files (.ffpreset text files)

Thanks for your work!

I use ffmpeg to encode to x264 and vp8. I'm not aware of the development of the libs used by ffmpeg, sorry.

Hmm, can this bencos show it's preset? does it use 2pass like the old RA6? I think it's better if you just improve RA6.. :p

Sirber

27th May 2011, 15:51

I have same error with other files too.
Pls check with this sample file: http://demo.ovh.com/download/964362bd821c68ae7a40c15054594bd7/Sample.mkv

It works fine with previous version but shows error in this new version. :(

newer version ffmpeg might dislike it. run it manually:

cmd.exe
ffmpeg.exe -i sample.mkv -vcodec libx264 -y sample2.mkv

Sirber

27th May 2011, 15:54

Hmm, can this bencos show it's preset? does it use 2pass like the old RA6? I think it's better if you just improve RA6.. :p

Every gui I make are using 2pass VBR encoding.
Previous versions of bencos (and realanime) were using hand-made presets (by me). Latest bencos is using x264 built-in presets. More infos here: http://code.google.com/p/bencos/issues/detail?id=21&can=1

BTW RealAnime 6 is a fork of Bencos. In 2007, bencos didn't run well on Vista. Now it's all good, since 2 years. Forget about RA6 :p

Siber-san, hmm I am experiencing error on encoding mkv codec from animetake(original sources around 300mb etc etc) when I encode it, some ffmpeg.exe error appears.. so how to solve this?

you could try updating ffmpeg:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ under "32-bit Builds (Shared)"
then extract it to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Bencos\ffmpeg_win32

Sirber

6th June 2011, 00:51

mmmm sorry man, nothing I can do. You could go to an older version of bencos. Newer ffmpeg versions seems to have troubles with malformed h264 stream.

i got same error with this new version.....it unable to encode *.mkv files(ffmpeg error)...but it can encode other video file like *.avi, *.flv but it shows audio error :No valid SBR configuration found

Sirber

7th June 2011, 16:35

your mkv has a h264 stream?

for audio what was your configuration (asked codec, bitrate) and the source (codec, bitrate)?

any way to add a text watermark with this program ?

cuz stax is giving me issues right now but this does the job, like so

applyrange(0,250,"Subtitle","my watermark here",5,5,0,99999,"Century",20)

Sirber

16th June 2011, 17:04

any way to add a text watermark with this program ?

Nope, bencos isn't using AVISynth. The source is fed to ffmpeg directly.
