AVStoDVD Support Thread

[MrC]

Yes, AVStoDVD support both motion background with audio AND motion thumbnails for titles.

Just select 'Settings'/'DVD Menu'/'Select DVD Menu Style' and put 'Motion DVD Menu'. Then play with DVD Menu window.

P.S. Do not cross post with VideoHelp (http://forum.videohelp.com/topic363000.html#1938408), just put a link to this or that thread.

Okay.

Is it possible to for you to make so that I or anybody can type in the path of the location of like avisynth or portable imgburn? Also how about putting the size of video in number format so people know what the size really is? How about a full abort command if you want to completely stop the encoding process? Is there a way to change the bitrates of the menu? Sorry if I have so many suggestions it is just that I'm trying to make AVStoDVD even better. By the way how do I make it so the menu has more than one page? The thumbnails keep stacking up on one another. Also, when editing video titles, the video bitrate doesn't match the ones in settings tab, however the audio bitrate matches the settings tab. Also, why is it that there is a average and max bitrate for video? Can't there just be one bitrate (cbr) for video like the way the audio is set up?

[MrC]

Why, what's the problem with them? AVStoDVD finds their path from the win registry.

Also how about putting the size of video in number format so people know what the size really is?

Not understood. Please clarify better.

How about a full abort command if you want to completely stop the encoding process?

What do you mean for "full abort"? I cannot abort the execution of other tools.

Is there a way to change the bitrates of the menu? By the way how do I make it so the menu has more than one page?

Next release will (probably) have those features.

Also, when editing video titles, the video bitrate doesn't match the ones in settings tab, however the audio bitrate matches the settings tab. Also, why is it that there is a average and max bitrate for video? Can't there just be one bitrate (cbr) for video like the way the audio is set up?

Clearly you have not understood the purpose of 'Settings'/'Encoding' & 'Settings'/'AudioVideo' tabs. Do read the help section (press F1) and, if you have time, make a search in this thread. Then if your questions are not answered, come back here.

No problem with them just wanted to use the portable imgburn, so to do that it would be necessary to be able to type in the path of the portable imgburn exe file.

Video size- VCD=352x240 etc.

For example when encoding you wanted to change something there should be a full abort button to completely stop the entire process of encoding and go back to the main screen.

I'm just comparing it to my Honestech DVD authoring studio program which has just one setting for video bitrate, which makes it easier to use I think.

[carlmart]

Just now did I find this specific AVStoDVD forum.

My question is something about version 2.1.3, but it may apply on the new version.

Can I use any Avisynth plug in with AVStoDVD or only a few of them, those listed as:

Script Shortcuts" (AviSynth filters):
- Crop allows you to crop excess pixels off of each frame
- Vertical Resize allows you to vertically enlarge/reduce the aspect ratio
- Trim allows you to select only an interval between video frames
- Tweak allows you to adjust the video hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast
- Delay Audio allows you to set a delay/advance between audio and video sources
- Amplify Audio allows you to amplify audio Track by amount.

Now I am thinking it is so. Is that right?

[MrC]

Does exist a "portable" version of ImgBurn? If yes, is it located by AVStoDVD (go to 'Settings'/'Info'/'Software Info')?

Video size- VCD=352x240 etc.

Ok, got it. I can add a label/tip on the right.

For example when encoding you wanted to change something there should be a full abort button to completely stop the entire process of encoding and go back to the main screen.

You have just to close the running app. In most cases, AVStoDVD will stop the process.

Hi Calmart and welcome here.

you can add as many plugin as you want. But you have to manually edit the script: toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script' and write directly in the textbox.

The shorcuts you have listed are just... shortcuts to very popular internal AviSynth filters.

;)

That's OK. I know that. I already untoggled the "Auto" box and corrected the 16:9 ratio on another film.

But which is the way the script should be written there:

Like this: Video = Video.RePAL()

Or like this: RePAL()

Should I write down where the plug in is, like:

LoadCPlugin("C:\Path\To\repal.dll")

I am getting "script error" messages when I try to use some scripts, like LimitedSharpenFaster.

[MrC]

Put
LoadCPlugin("C:\Path\To\repal.dll")
at the beginning of the script (line 1) and
Video = Video.RePAL()
in the Video section, i.e. after "Video = Video.ConvertToYV12"

;)

Here is where I downloaded portable imgburn.

http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABLE-SOFTWARE/CD-DVD-Tools/Windows-Portable-Applications-Portable-ImgBurn.shtml

How do I get AVStoDVD to locate it?

[carlmart]

When I load this script:

LoadPlugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\Yadifmod.dll")
Video = Video.Yadifmod(Mode=1,Order=1)

I get a message saying:

"args must be clips".

As I am not familiar yet with Avisynth scripts, it sounds like chinese to me. What do I have to write to make it work?

[wg]

Thanks for the new version. I'd like to add a background to my subtitles(Preferably a transparent box) , how do I enable this in the Subtitle Creator Data Profile?

Thanks In Advance.

Really do not know. My knowledge of SubtitleCreator is not that deep... You should ask to Doom9 subtitles section (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=12).

Profiles can be located at "C:\Program files\AVStoDVD Dev\SubtitleCreator\Data\Profiles.xml". Be careful to modify that file.

More comings and goings.

I am using the following script for a conversion:

LoadCplugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\Yadif.dll")
Video = Video.Yadif(Mode=1,Order=1)
Video = Video.Tweak(Sat=1.1)
Video = Video.ConvertToYV12
Video = Video.Lanczos4Resize(720,480,0,66,0,-66)

Differently from others I tried, this one showed no errors.

The Preview plays very well and better than the original. But the resultant file, which should be 104 minutes long came out 260 minutes long.

What might be happening?

[Milardo]

Oh I haven't actually tried the portable one yet, but when I do I will see if it does make an entry in windows registry.

[carlmart]

Apparently Yadif mode=1 is a bobber, so frame rate is doubled. Then you have to use repal to bring it back down.

But when I tried this correction AVStoDVD stopped before converting it. The log file I got was this:

@calmart

it seems that HCenc does not like your script very much. Locate file "C:\DOCUME~1\Carlos\CONFIG~1\Temp\VideoFile_0_Title_01.HCenc.log" and check what kind of error HCenc throws out.

Or alternatively try with QuEnc profile.

;)

Bye

[carlmart]

Well, in the end I could make it work. The script that I used, suggested in another forum, was this:

LoadPlugin("C:\video\DGIndex\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\RePAL.dll")
LoadCPlugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\Yadif.dll")
Video = Video.Yadif(Mode=1,Order=1)
Video = Video.RePAL()
Video = Video.AssumeFPS(25) #for HCEnc

Video = Video.ConvertToYV12
Video = Video.Lanczos4Resize(720,480,0,66,0,-66)

The process had some hiccups, saying from time to time that there were some mpeg errors. But to my surprise HCEnc went on and finished the conversion.

Except for those "errors" everything went perfect and I could end up with a corrected video file.

The only problem is that I now will have to get to understand what was done, as I am completely new to this world of scripts.

[MrC]

I'm glad to hear that you did it.

Welcome to the advanced world (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=33) of video editing

:cool:

[carlmart]

Welcome to the of video editing



Thanks. If it wasn't for the help I got I could have never come up with those scripts.

Now I have a hard way uphill to learn what filters to use and how.

For instance, which would be a nice filter to "cheat" resolution a bit when converting from a 720p MKV file to an MPEG2 file to author a DVD?

LimitedSharpenFaster perhaps?

How can I select small pieces of the file to use as tests for possible combinations?

[leoliver]

So far I've used the latest AVStoDVD build to encode two different .avi video clips into DVD ready movies. And both times
AVStoDVD worked well without a problem.
Keep up the good work.

That's a good question for AviSynth forum section (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=33).

How can I select small pieces of the file to use as tests for possible combinations?

Go to 'Title Edit'/'AviSynth', toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script' and use 'Trim' filter. I.e. insert 0 - 1000 frames.

;)

Great. I will use that for my tests.

Is there a way to use AVStoDVd just to output the AC3 track? How?

[MrC]

Is there a way to use AVStoDVd just to output the AC3 track? How?

Well, there is not a proper function, but you can use a workaround:

- from the taskbar select 'Output'/'Elementary MPEG2 streams'
- load your file to demux audio
- select 'Title Edit'/'Video', toggle off 'Auto Video Setup'
- select 'QuEnc CBR 1-pass' from 'Video Encoding Profile'
- press OK and press START
- after few video encoding seconds, stop QuEnc
- let audio encoding finish off

you will get a small unuseless m2v file and a full AC3 file.

Or, more simply, use eac3to (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966).

;)

Bye

[carlmart]

Yes, I ended up using eac3 to GUI to make the conversion. Now I am looking for a way to increase levels in the AC3 file.

[Flux]

How I can preserve my custom menu, if I want to replace the video source from a title with another one? For now, I have edited the project file and changed video paths manually, but is there easier way?

BTW, thanks for creating AVStoDVD. Everything is so easy to understand because there is not useless crap to confuse and still encoded quality is very good. And it is free! =)

[MrC]

@Flux

you went on the only (now available) way to change one title without resetting the DVD Menu setup.

In my neverending ToDo list, there is a "Save custom DVD menu template" item...

I have some problems with a few BluRay discs I want to convert to DVD.
They contain DTS-HD streams.
AVStoDVD converts them to wav (with some warnings that wav will be over 4GB). Shown playtime seems not ok, over 6000 Hours?!
Then Aften starts AC3 encoding and ends up with an buffer overflow error at 0% (in console window).

I think thats cause it doesn't support it yet. But if you really want to make a dvd out of a blueray. Just extract the streams using tsmuxer. Than use eac3to. encode the audio to ac3. Then use tsmuxer again to mux it back together. Run it through AvsToDVD again and click keep dvd compliant audio.

[MrC]

@Wishbringer

I must admit that I have never tried to use AVStoDVD as BD "downgrader"... mainly because I do not have any BDs... :rolleyes:

But, if you can provide a short sample of your BD or, at least, the AVStoDVD project log file, it could be a good start.

Gizzin's method (:thanks:) should work well, even if it is not a "one-click" solution.

When I capture something from my camera or Canopus converter, it splits the files in shots or shorter multiple avi files.

Until now I joined the files in Procoder or in VirtualDub, making just one file instead of many of them.

In VirtualDub this is called "Append", in Procoder is called "Stitch".
How is it called in AVStoDVD?

You can't do this in avstodvd. Its probably on the todo list I'd imagine. Just keep using virtualdub its not that much extra work is it?

[carlmart]

OK. I will keep using VD for that.

Here's another one: how can you set exactly the size of the m2v file you are going to get from AVStoDVD?

In Procoder I do that by setting the output bitrate. In TMPGEnc 4.0 Express by going to DVD9, to free the maximum bitrate, and filling in the size you wish to.

I still can't see how you do that with AVStoDVD. Is it possible?

Correction: can I do that simply by setting the minimum bitrate the program should use. Perhaps using the value BitrateCalc suggests?

[MrC]

how can you set exactly the size of the m2v file you are going to get from AVStoDVD?


Size targeting (m2v+ac3):
- press 'DVD Size'/'Custom' in the toolbar
- enter your custom DVD size

Bitrate targeting:
- load you input files
- press 'Title Edit'/'Video'
- toggle off 'Auto Video Setup'
- toggle off 'Auto BitRate Calculation'
- edit 'Video Avg BitRate'

;)

[Pulp Catalyst]

brilliant program,

but the one thing i did notice which other programs does not cause,

is the amount of strain that was put on my output hard drive,

rejig, multiplexing, and DGPulldown were the 3 steps that put massive strain on my F drive, but my E drive wasn't really doing much work,

it's a shame that the demand on one hard drive couldn't be spread over 2 hard drives more efficiently,

i have used a lot of these types of program, and this one is the worse when it came to straining my one drive,

perhaps if the processes can't be tuned any further to help this issue, then maybe some kind of I/O throttling maybe in order, because man, my F drive (output folder) aged by at least 3 month after doing one film,

great program though, 4.5 stars for sure, would be 5 stars if it went a bit easier on my hard drive, (the noise from my drive did not sound healthy)

tried FAVC, Avi2ISO, film machine, and Diko, and this one (in my opinion) gave me the best results, and was running perfectly with 3rd party tools it used, and also credit has to be given to the final output size, 4.31GB, couldn't really ask for much better then that,

thanks,

[Pulp Catalyst]

i've done 2 films so far, for the 2nd film i swapped the temp folder and output folder over, i have noticed an increase in speed, not much, but some, the folder that takes most of the work (not sure which folder is used the most in the high read and write usage temp or output folder) is now been put to my SATA drive,

i have noticed after doing 2 films, that both films seem to have very small black bars added (top and bottom has it)

just to see if this can be avoided , i have converted both off the same films with ConvertxtoDVD, and these were OK, no added black bars were added, so i think there may be a Auto Cropping error, or something, not sure why, but i thought i should share my experience thus far,

did some cross comparisons of the quality of the image, from both programs (AVStoDVD & Convertxtodvd), and AVStoDVD does win hands down,

however, tried to convert one of the films from NTSC to PAL, and the output was not good, very jumpy playback, and no sound at all, the quality of the image was nice, but the playback speed was jumpy (sorry can't think of a better word).
although not a big problem, as most DVD players will playback PAL fine anyway, only televisions can some times be picky that's all,
but from my experience NTSC > PAL or PAL > NTSC is never perfect anyway, although i've never seen it as bad as what AVStoDVD produced,

i hope i'm not offending, i thought it's best to share ones experience rather then be silent,
objectivity can be a good thing right?

[MrC]

@Pulp Catalyst

first of all thanks for your comments and suggestions. Let's go thru the items.

1. "amount of strain that was put on my output hard drive"
You are the very first user that complains about that issue! BTW I can understand that, since CPU are becoming faster and faster, encoding time is no more the bottleneck, while hard drive I/O could become. A good compromise is to set the output folder (more used) to your fastest drive and temp folder to another one.

2. "small black bars added"
It depends from the DAR (Display Aspect Ratio) of source video. Does the output has the image distorted? No? Adding black bars (letterboxing) is correct. For more details you should post the AVStoDVD output log file

3. "NTSC > PAL"
To downsize FPS (from 29.97 to 25), AVStoDVD uses AviSynth function ChangeFPS(25). If you get jerkiness, you can try editing the AVS Script (go to 'Title Edit'/'AviSynth') and sobstitute ChangeFPS(25) with ConvertFPS(25).
Again, for more help, you should post the log file, which contains a lot of info about source video file and about encoding.

;)

anyone know how i can get bluray to convert to dvd with subtitles? I tried demuxing the SUP file from the m2ts stream and avstodvd recognizes the SUP file but the subtitles do not show up in the resulting DVD.

@Pulp Catalyst

1. Where did you get that AVI? It has a NTSC 23.976 fps source to be pulldown (AVStoDVD did that, see DGPulldown section) to NTSC 29.97 fps. If source video is smooth, then output mpeg2 jerkiness is very very strange.

2. DAR is 1.875 and not 1.778. If source image is not distorted, applying small black bars (10 pixels) up and down is correct.


@marius1

Just to be sure, have you switched on the subtitles when you have played the DVD?

;)

Yup, the DVD player recognizes that the subtitle is there but when you turn it on nothing shows up.
