AVStoDVD Support Thread

.... HCenc Pulldown is not needed when going from 25 to 29.97 fps. Is audio out of sync?

:)

Bye
Nope all is fine. I'm try to increase my knowledge/skills and I always see folks going on and on about using Pulldown to get to 29.97fps NTSC rather than ChangeFPS(29.97). On other forums they always rant against apps like Nero because pulldown is not used when going to NTSC. With AVI2DVD a separate Pulldown phase is always used. I prefer your app though (I'm converting XviD 25fps music videos) because I can alter the script and the bitrate and end up with muxed MPEG2, which is all I need. I realize that I can delete ChangeFPS(29.97) from the script and choose Demuxed MPEG streams, run DGPulldown then mux with TMPGenc, but that's a pain.

I asked about pulldown for 25fps sources on another forum and got this response from jdobbs:

Encode it at 25fps, then use Neuron2's DGPulldown against the output. Up until he wrote that code, I'm not sure anyone else had given much thought to converting that way. It also makes sure your audio stays in sync.

I do like your app alot and realize that the 25fps pulldown thing is an HCenc issue. Unfortunately the pulldown thing still confuses me. :confused:

Thanks for the reply and the app. :thanks:

[MrC]

I have a very practical attitude: if the output video quality is good (both on PC and TV) and audio is not out of sync, why wondering if pulldown is needed? ;)

I am really not an expert of PAL to NTSC conversion, but, according to HCenc, pulldown is to be used only when going from 23.976 to 29.97 and not from 25 to 29.97.

Maybe some Doom9 NTSC gurus may help us....

[Mr_Odwin]

DGPulldown can be used to apply any x->29.97 Pulldown, where x is greater than about 20 and less than 29.97. HC only performs the standard 23.976->29.97 pulldown.

DGPulldown can be used to apply any x->29.97 Pulldown, where x is greater than about 20 and less than 29.97. HC only performs the standard 23.976->29.97 pulldown.

Thanks Mr_Odwin! One more thing: what are the benefits of pulldown instead of directly changing fps via AviSynth (by ChangeFPS(29.97))?

[Mr_Odwin]

The major advantage that jumps to my mind is that the same bitrate is used to encode less frames.

[MrC]

In conclusion:


QuEnc, HCenc and CCE SP can perform a "standard" 23.976 -> 29.97 pulldown (called 3:2 Pulldown).
Generic fps increase can be done by using DGPulldown (better quality but slower) or AviSynth's ChangeFPS (lesser quality but faster).

Correct?

I realize that I can delete ChangeFPS(29.97) from the script and choose Demuxed MPEG streams, run DGPulldown then mux with TMPGenc, but that's a pain.

To speed up the process (until I will (?) insert DGPulldown step in AVStoDVD) you can set PAL as Video Format, so that you do not have to modify AVS script manually.

And you can use AVStoDVD as a M2V+AC3 muxer too. :cool:

[Mr_Odwin]

Remember that if a 25->29.97 pulldown is to be performed the video needs to be encoded at the destination NTSC size.

[MrC]

You're right! NTSC requires 480 pixel vertical resolution.

Thanks Mrc, until then i'll wait to see...
About your latest questions about CCE support i can suggest you a link of a forum that someone who is developing a program like yours but with much more choices because he's devopping that since 2 yeras ago i guess and he has created a very interesting program so if you would you can take a look and post your questions and doubts about it...
The developer has the nick of Delta and he is usually very helpful...
http://www.avi2iso.com/


Well, yes, almost 2 years for fun

There is currently 2 Portuguese Projects alive : D2MP and AVI2ISO, once there was another called AVIXDVD in which AVI2ISO was based on, but it died. D2MP uses Directshow encoding for audio, much the same as I use that for RMVB or other formats. Mine was mostly stressed on CCE SP2 and fast encoding for movies in Dual Core Systems...but that is something I have to do, directshow MP3 VBR to PCM

The main problem is that I use High Definition matrices which throws qFactor to Higher levels in CCE, if someone uses them in movies more than 1CD. I don't think Roba will fix that because it gives a smaller qfactor in that matrices aside my own simulation code

Another problem is using VB.NET and C#, a miscellaneous of both, which needs Framework 2.0

I wish you good luck, MrC

Don't get me wrong, I love your program. The whole pulldown thing just confuses me. I'm using your app (with HCenc) to convert PAL (25fps) sources (music vids), AVI, MPG, and VOBs to 16:9 NTSC. The ability to tweak the script, set my bitrates, and trim vertically is great. Easy and quick, the results are wonderful.

Don't mean to be a pest, thanks again. :)

**banging head against monitor**

I've run into a complete block--every time I try to us AVStoDVD with HCenc as the encoder, I'm met with "ERROR: can't open log file".

I've tried multiple different movies...I've tried CCE instead, and got a garbled mess...I even tried rolling back to no codecs and reinstalling.

I'm getting nowhere fast with this. Any ideas? Please?

No panic please! :) Let's try to understand what's the problem.

1. Which AVStoDVD release are you using? I hope 1.0.1.
2. Which HCenc release are you using? You should use at least 0.17.
3. When do the message "ERROR: can't open log file" come out?
4. What do you mean got a garbled mess when using CCE SP?
5. Have you tried using QuEnc If yes, any problem?
6. Can you copy&paste the AVStoDVD log file?
7. Have you installed every codec needed to play the clip you want to convert?

No panic please! :) Let's try to understand what's the problem.

Correct


2. Which HCenc release are you using? You should use at least 0.17.


0.21


3. When do the message "ERROR: can't open log file" come out?


It appears shortly after HCenc appears. In other words, HCenc pops up ready to encode, sorts out the file info, and then gives the error message.


4. What do you mean got a garbled mess when using CCE SP?


Using one of the same files, I attempted using CCE and the resulting video looked like a scrambled cable TV channel. That was before I unregistered all codecs and reinstalled.


5. Have you tried using QuEnc If yes, any problem?

No. Personal preference. So, that's one thought...


6. Can you copy&paste the AVStoDVD log file?

I will include in next post...


7. Have you installed every codec needed to play the clip you want to convert?
Yeah, even going as far as unregistering all and installing the K-Lite Codec Pack.

Attempting QuEnc, currently...

[MrC]

@boywondr16

Yes, you are right, no clues from the log file. It seems a "very standard" job, xvid+mp3 to DVD.

Let me know if QuEnc works.

Another try could be removing the codec pack (I really do not like that mess) and install ONLY the codecs you need (i.e. XviD and MP3) or the all-in-one ffdshow (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout).

IMO ffdshow is the best choice: you get rid of all single codecs and have very good encoding/decoding quality.

Another try: select HCenc as default encoder, save settings and the copy&paste the txt content of AVStoDVD.ini file you find in AVStoDVD installation folder.

However, when encoding @ 6157 kbps, the encoder really do not make any difference.... so you can go with QuEnc.

No issue with playback on WMP. For some reason, AVIsynth apparently didn't like the audio track on it. Other files have worked, though I'm still having to use QuEnc, because HC isn't seeing the log file from AVIsynth.

[MrC]

HC isn't seeing the log file from AVIsynth.

Just a thought: your HC exe file is on a hard drive unit, isn't it? Can you post here the AVStoDVD.ini file you find in AVStoDVD installation folder?

[ChickenMan]

Thought I had better check out the latest version 1.1.0. Added an NTSC avi of dimensions 640x368 with dar of 1.739. Thats almost 16:9 widescreen in my book but AVStoDVD insisted on encoding it to 4:3 and with an AddBorders of 56 top and bottom.

It should have been encoded to 704x480 or 720x480 with AddBorders of 8 to left and right sides. I can edit the avisynth script fine but I cant find anywhere to change the dar of 4:3 to 16:9. Am I missing something obvious ?

[MrC]

AVStoDVD checks if the DAR is equal or more than 1.77. If it is, then it autochecks the CheckBox "WideScreen Format" in the AVS Script Window. You can click on the CheckBox manually if you want to force widescreen format.

Note that in case like that, AVStoDVD will not AddBorders on left and right sides, but will crop 4 pixels top and bottom.

It should works, keep me informed.

[ChickenMan]

"..CheckBox "WideScreen Format" in the AVS Script Window." Thanks, I missed that. Checked the Widescreen Format box and indeed the script changed to cropping 4 top and bottom.

However, using CCE 2.70 it started encoding using a Q value of 60, that seamed way to high for a 1hr 31m xvid. I then ran the same avi through DVD2SVCD with RoBa and CCE 2.70 and it calculated a Q of 9. Final video encoded size from AVStoDVD was 1.5gb (expected with a Q of 60) and from DVD2SVCD was 4.1gb

I also checked to use DGPulldown as the original avi had a frame rate of 23.976. But 1000's of errors were displayed when DVDAuthor was creating the final VIDEO_TS folder and files, saying unknown framerate. Checked one of the final VOB files with GSpot and it reports a frame rate of 30.00fps. Checked the *.m2v file with BitrateViewer and it also reports 30.00 fps instead of 29.97 fps. I burnt it to a DVD-RW and as expected, my dvd player would not play the disk.

No support to CCE 2.70. Only to 2.50, 2.66 and 2.67 as it is reported in the commond dialog window to choose CCE exe file. The reason is that EclCCE does not support 2.70 too.
Could you check if you have same undersizing problems with lower CCE SP releases?

Yes, my fault: making last changes in release 1.1.0 I have introduced a bug when encoding in NTSC.

You can try, if you will, a preview of release 1.1.1 (http://www.megaupload.com/it/?d=RZPDTKC9). It is AVStoDVD.exe only. Copy to your AVStoDVD folder, overwrite current AVStoDVD.exe. For compatibilty reason, delete AVStoDVD.ini file too.

Hello MrC! We were communicating via email,I think this is better place to write comments about bugs and feature requests. Would it be nice to add capability of encoding video with more than one audio track ?

Upgraded to the new 1.1.1 but regardless of what version I used of CCE, with or without Eclcce, as soon as hit OK to start encoding, error box pops up with "Problem encountered during VIDEO ENCODING process. Please check your settings and then retry" I then uninstalled and went back to 1.1.0 and all is well again. This time I used cce 2.50 with eclcce and got correct final file size as well. :) but still at 30 fps :(

Hi MrC,

Just like to say 1.1.1 seems to be working fine (almost). The DGPulldown, Matrix choices, and Interlace encoding are a nice touch.

I mostly use it for converting PAL music videos to 16:9 NTSC with HCenc on Best. One thing I would like to see implemented is the retention of my settings. I always use Muxed MPEG2 Streams, Video Avg Bitrate 6000, Max bitrate 7000, and Audio bitrate 256. (a very minor inconvenience).

One odd thing thing though, I finally tried it on an Xvid movie. All went well except at the very end. The length was listed in the log as 1:23:21 but in NeroShowtime it shows as 1:23:16 and it stops at 1:23:12 where it stayed (looking like it was paused). On my standalone it stops at 1:23:14. Hitting stop on my player then play (resume on) took me right back to 1:23:14. Haven't had a chance to try another.

From the log:

Video: E:\Files\XviD-SC.avi
Info: AVI (XviD) - 1017 kbps - 592x320 - 16:9 - 23.976 fps - PPF - 1:23:21 hours - 119913 frames
Audio: E:\\Files\XviD-SC.avi
Info: AVI (MPEG-1 Audio layer 3) - 131 kbps - VBR - 48000Hz - 2ch - 1:23:21 hours

Regards,

Nice to hear from you, MysticE :)

Good idea, I will implement it in release 1.1.3. I am going to publish release 1.1.2 within few days :cool:

If you have time, demux video and audio from the DVD you created and feed these 2 demuxed files to AVStoDVD (or directly to MediaInfo GUI or to GSpot). Write down the time length of both of them. Are they equal or different?

Can you make your own root menu and also add your own background image? What is this program like for converting nstc 29.97fps to pal 25fps?

[MR Nice]

Q? Can this program convert a batch of avi files?

Regarding the end freeze I tried one with AVI2DVD which also uses DVDAuthor with the same result. I opened them in PgcEdit and noted that the Cell Still time of the last chapter was 255, changing it to zero fixed things, allowing my player to now shut off after I fall asleep. :)

I also got this when first opening them:
