h264info alpha 0026 lite test

What are you trying to do with it? I may have an alternative that you can use?

@kurt

i use this tool for changing wrong AR in h264 streams:

What are you trying to do with it? I may have an alternative that you can use?Thanks--one of the features (along with adding pulldown) that I want(ed) from h264info was to change the bitrate in the header.

But maybe just adding pulldown flags (to take 24fps source to 29.97) could work too. Trying to find the magic formula to get MF6+ to accept BD files as input, without reencoding.

I started some changes and then abandoned it (too busy/lost interest) for a while. The code is pretty fubared now and i probably wont be fixing it. (although i would like to apply the changes i made to the hrd patch to it.) There are alternatives now so i dont see a big need. Guess you never know , though.

What is MF6+?

[Trahald]

I believe DVD Movie Factory 6 Plus.

[laserfan]

Yes, MF6+ is Ulead's authoring program to BD and/or HD DVD format. Makes very, very nice menus, but unless the input files are 29.97 and (I believe) <25MBps bitrate it will re-encode any 264 input (to MPEG2, double-yuk, painfully long re-encoding process plus MPEG2 in the end). But if you can trick it in the file header to believe it is a 29.97 file of 25Mbps, it will leave 264 files alone.

There are alternatives now so i dont see a big need. Guess you never know , though.
Dunno of any such tools for 264, perhaps you or someone else can point-the-way. And neuron2 you needed "pulldown", did you use h264info source, or not, or not-yet...

[Guest]

I used my own tool. Maybe this weekend I can give it to you.

[laserfan]

I appreciate the offer--in the meantime I may have found a workaround to my problem, which involves using "dummy" 29.97 files to make my menus, then later inserting the real files into the BD structure. But I would think a DGPulldown-type tool for 264 might be something I could use if this Plan A doesn't work. Thanks and post-anywhere here or PM me if/when you need testers.

Well, it turns-out that Plan A works beautifully! So no need for h264info after all, or a pulldown conversion, to use MF6+ effectively. :)

@Trahald fwiw I went back to alpha 23 (non-lite version) and h264info no longer crashes for me.

[Trahald]

i released 0026 as a test version. I rewrote the cpb/dpb calcs. but its based on .23 source (newest i could find) so it might be missing recent fixes. please report any issues.

btw.. its not a 'lite' version so its slow

Does it work with x264 files as well?

You don't need this anymore, since x264 has built-in feature to write proper cpb and other things. Using this will probably make broken stream.

[Trahald]

I would only use this to view detailed stream information of avc streams if u don't have elecard stream viewer. Don't use it's output options.
