@MrC

That'd be wonderful!
Looking forward to results.

If I can think of anything, I'll update.

@abyss616

there's no general rule: it depends on the input file width, height and DAR.


Every 720x480 file that I set to encode at 16:9 gets the following line added to the avisynth tab:

Video = Video.Spline64Resize(720,480,0,36,0,-36)

That cuts off the top and bottom 36 pixels. I manually edit each file so that it says Video = Video.Spline64Resize(720,480).

That cuts off the top and bottom 36 pixels. I manually edit each file so that it says Video = Video.Spline64Resize(720,480).

There are multiple cases for 720x480 resolution:

Input file DAR 4:3
Video = Video.Spline64Resize(720,480,0,66,0,-66)

Input file DAR 16:9
*no resizing*

Input file DAR 1:1
Video = Video.Spline64Resize(720,480,0,36,0,-36)

If you take a DAR 1:1 input file and set the flag to 16:9, that is what you are actually doing, your output will be horizontally streched. Is that what you really want?

;)

[abyss616]

If it means that the top and bottom 36 pixels are cut off, I guess that I do. Maybe I'll stop resizing the 16:9 input files in my avisynth script down to 720x480 and leave them as is. Everything I had read said to make them 720x480 resolution.

Having a problem creating a DVD. I have been using this program for a while now and havent changed any of the settings.

I'm getting an error after a could seconds:
'unsupported compression method'

Somthing get changed some how? I installed another dvd creator program so that maybe is why Im having problems now? I installed Aimersoft DVD Creator.

[MrC]

Looks like a splitter/codecs issue. Try to remove the software you have recently installed and restore Haali Media Splitter and ffdshow (or whatever directshow codecs you were using).

Audio encoding has failed, same over ffmpeg process.

Why not use eac3to to encode your audio first?
and then AVStoDVD will automatically copy the audio over.
or re-rip the source to audio better than 32 kbps.

Also I notice your logs contain non-standard characters in their names, that could also lead to problems for a lot of programs.

Characters with accents can often lead to many problems with Windows environments.
É is not very Windows friendly for most programs.

I'd suggest renaming everything to very basic names with nothing fancy.

If É is very common, no matter what you do, a simple google search will show the proper way to remove different languages from your keyboard.

Most often the letter "É" is from a keyboard shortcut programmed to use French characters over North American characters. This can be fixed by going into the Control Panel > Languages > and removing/deleting/disabling stuff that's not North American English.

When working with most conversions, my basic principle is that every name must be as short as possible, including file names and folder names. this ensures less errors, as windows is... well just windows lol.

Aside from switching all foreign characters to standard English characters, I'd highly recommend using eac3to to convert your audio to AC3 for AVStoDVD before starting your next project.

You might even need to update/install MP3 decoding filters.

MP3 decoding requires either official LAME MP3 system decoder filters to be installed...

Or, "FFDshow Audio" to be configured to handle MP3 audio.
Either way works fine.
FFDShow would be easier as it does updates more often than official "LAME" releases.

...If FFDShow does not handle LAME MP3 after initial installation, configure it to do so.
Also to handle the usual "Raw Audio - Compatible" etc.

FFDshow on its own or by K-Lite Codec Packs is updated constantly.

LameACM is only good if the source is encoded with Lame MP3; which, yours has been: 3..97.

Lame is currently updated to 3.99.

Hi MrC

I have a HD NTSC movie that I want to mux with PAL audio and subtitles.
I want to make a PAL DVD using the 4% speedup, so the video only needs to be resized, right?
So I encoded a 10Mb fragment (obtained using mkvmerge) with output set to Elementary MPEG2 streams.

Looking at the logfile I can see that the result has a different framerate and number of frames.

Q1. Why is DGPulldown used?

Q2. Why does the number of frames differ after encoding, and after DGPulldown?

Thank you very much for this brilliant program, and keep up the great work.

@8ternity

have you tried with 'Wavi+Aften' as AC3 encoder setup?

@gobbleman

wow, you have found a bug with the AviSynth script generation when 'PAL speedup' is selected AND audio is not present. I will surely fix it in the next release. Thanks! ;)

As workaround you can edit the AviSynth script ('Edit Title'/'AviSynth') by replacing:

Return Video

AssumeFPS("pal_film", sync_audio=true).ResampleAudio(48000)

with

AssumeFPS(Video, "pal_film")

About your questions: of course DGPulldown must not start if 'PAL speedup' is selected. Frames are higher after pulldown because they are inserted to convert framerate without altering the time length.

;)

[8ternity]

@8ternity

No. I've try with HenC 2pass; wich normally everything pass. I remember that Wavi+After has not worked well on many project with avi files; i used HenC Locked has recommended previously by you last year (starting to 2.3.2 version).

I've used Nero Vision Xtra 'latest' to resolve my issue for the moment. I can try later with same files this week to let you know if you need that i test to resolve the issue, or for knowledges, up to you. :)

THanks.

Wait, wait, HCenc 2-pass is a video encoding profile, we are speaking about AC3 audio encoder selection: 'Wavi+Aften' instead of QuEnc.

[Disapearer]

Hi MrC

Discovered your nifty piece of software after having issues with Avi2DVD. Searched around and various recommendations led me to AVS2DVD.

My problems with Avi2DVD stemmed with various files going out of sync when converted to an ISO. I've run the same files through AVS2DVD and am pleased to see there are no issues with synching, but there are issues with the picture quality that I've not had with Avi2DVD.

It seems movement causes distortion in the picture with horizontal streaking lines appearing around the edges of objects/characters moving. I've run it through both QuEnc and HCenc but the same problem occurs.

There's a few too many posts to go through every one and see if others have had this problem, but a quick scan through and I can't see anything. The fact that it doesn't appear to be a common complaint leads me to think that it might be easily fixable?

Any ideas or help would be most appreciated.

Many thanks

[manolito]

This certainly sounds like combing artifacts from an interlaced source. If your source is interlaced, you have to decide if you want to keep it interlaced or if you want to deinterlace it before encoding.

I don't have AVStoDVD installed ATM, but I remember that it offers the possibility to edit the AVS script, so you can add a deinterlacer to the script.


Cheers
manolito

[MrC]

As Manolito says, your issue may be caused by an interlaced footage wrongly encoded. BTW AVStoDVD properly handles interlaced sources, if they are detected as interlaced.

Do you have still the project log file? Please post it here. If you don't, could you post the MediaInfo report of your source title?

;)

Bye

[Disapearer]

Ignore.

Ignore my previous (now removed) email with my apologies.

Hopefully you'll forgive my foolishness and allow me to try again!

So, following on from my initial email, the issue I'm having seems to occur on all files (avi & mkv) and is not specific to any individual files.

Here's the log from a (different) file that had the problem:

I'm not sure what's now the problem: "horizontal streaking lines appearing around the edges of objects/characters moving" or the very short output file?

Hi Mr C

Sorry, I'm a bit clueless when it comes to these sorts of things, that was possibly one conversion I abandoned early on (I have several of these in the same folder, thought the first would be the one to use!).

Please see what I hope is the correct version below and, yes, the issue is still the picture, and from looking at a site that had pics of interlacing I believe that is the issue:

Hi Mr C

I'm not entirely sure how to take a small portion of footage out (I'd need to figure out how) but it is an issue with all files it seems, not just one, and as I mentioned in my original message the piece of software I have been using produces a perfect picture, it was just having a few audio synching issues that I couldn't solve on certain files. (So basically the files themselves are fine).

Did you want a sample to see a visual of what I'm talking about? Perhaps I can find a pic of something that looks similar?

[MrC]

You can easily use VirtualDub or Avidemux to crop some seconds of footage.

Okay, so I was checking the files to see what footage I could use, and I checked the ISO through VLC.... and it was fine!

Burnt the ISO to disc, checked the disc through VLC, and that was fine too!

As soon as a play it in the blu-ray player through the TV, that's when the image problem begins. I've mucked about with the settings on both the player and TV but can't seem to fix the picture issue, and now I'm completely puzzled why it's occurring.

Any ideas? I'm completely lost (and out of my depth, tech-wise!).

Cheers.

[MrC]

It could be that your BD player does not welcome mpeg2 footage with pulldown. In your case pulldown has been applied by AVStoDVD (thru DGPulldown) to change framerate from 24fps to 25fps.

Take a look to your player manual (or any related forum) to verify this guess.

If the guess is correct, as workaround you can go with the AssumeFPS approach. Add to the end of your project AviSynth script the following line:

AssumeFPS("pal_film", sync_audio=true).ResampleAudio(48000)

;)

Okay, well that fixed the picture issue (yay!) but it threw the audio completely out of synch by about a minute! So, somewhere in between then?

Thanks

[MrC]

Ops, sorry, I forgot to tell you to force audio re-encoding: go 'Edit Title'/'Audio' and toggle off 'Keep DVD compliant audio'.

Yes! That worked a treat, thanks very much. I also took your advice and dug the blu-ray player manual out, messed around with the Progressive settings, and figured out how to fix it that way too.

So thanks for your help, I would have been totally flummoxed without it, and thanks for a great piece of software!

Cheers.

This probably has been asked before, but is there a way to save multiple sets of Preferences, let's call it Profiles? If not, this is a feature request.

A second request: please create an option to keep all external windows minimized. Like encoders, demuxers and command windows.

Ok, nice request. As workaround you can play with the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AVStoDVD

A second request: please create an option to keep all external windows minimized. Like encoders, demuxers and command windows.

Already in the ToDo list.

Thanks for the inputs.

[Sjakko]

@Sjakko

right now it is not possible, as you have already discovered. It is an old feat request (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1298053#post1298053) that I have delayed in the hope that BatchMux would include in a earlier release. Since more a year has passed without news, I will put it in the AVStoDVD ToDo list.

Hi MrC,

2 years on, may I boldly ask if you want to consider putting this request (a chapters menu) a little higher on the infamous ToDo list? I like AVStoDVD very much but I'm really missing being able to create a DVD chapter menu (song list) for the music concerts I get from DVB and put on DVD. I'm more than happy to donate!

1 more request:
When having multiple titles with varying average bitrates, would it be possible to encode them at a fixed compression factor, so as a percentage of the original bitrate, instead of a fixed bitrate for all titles? Let me explain why. I have 14 PAL DVB recordings that need to go on 1 DVD and need encoding because their total filesize is more than DVD5. Despite the fact they're episodes from the same series and recorded from the same channel, their average bitrates vary quite a bit (1800-3000Kbps). After AVStoDVD does its encoding they all come out at about 1900Kbps. That means the compression factors vary quite a bit too (63-105%). That shows in the output quality. To get a more constant output quality, wouldn't it in this case be better to take a fixed compression factor instead of a fixed bitrate?

Sjakko

[MrC]

@Sjakko

you are perfectly right: AVStoDVD ToDo list has become way long, new items stack before I can complete old ones. To be honest, AVStoDVD is a 5-years old project, quite mature and my free time is getting more and more little to make new big changes. Within few days I will release a 2.5.0 Alpha with some nice shallow improvements (a startup preferences tutorial, GUI languages translation support).

About chapters menu support, waiting for BatchMux upgrade may be vain, but frankly speaking, I see no other possibilities in the mid term.

About fixed compression encoding strategy, it could be interesting by a theoretical point of view. It could depends a lot on input file quality, that should be quite constant. And what happen if, i.e., title 1 has 600 kbps bitrate and title 2 has 6000 kbps bitrate? Would they be converted to 300 kbps and 3000 kbps? The 600 kbps title probably has already been compromised, so going down to 300 would generate a mess, while going up to an average of, i.e., 2500 kbps may preserve something.

;)

Bye

[Sjakko]

Hi MrC,

Thank you for your answer. I appreciate your help and support. For the chapter menu, we'll have to wait for Batchmux then. And for the 2nd problem I created my own script.

Thanks again for your time.

[Sir Didymus]

Hi Sjakko, hi MrC,

I would like you to understand that the relevance of the menu chaptering feature is 100% understood. What to say... The missed upgrade of the authoring engine in the last couple of years is clearly a fault from my side...

I am following as a "silent reader" the developments of AVS2DVD, and I recently promised to get a look on the matter, at least to start the design phase for this additional feature of BatchMux, but all sorts of personal troubles prevented me to collect the needed spare time to proceed on the related developments...

It's not easy, but it's also not so complex as it may appear... And (personally speaking) it is also very interesting from the technical point of view...
However I did not "disappear", so let's continue keeping this feature in the todo list... OK?
:-)

[Sjakko]

Hi Sir Didymus,

Good to hear! I hope this can one day be implemented because AVStoDVD is the only tool that serves my needs. Other tools are either expensive, labor-intensive, have poor input support, give poor output quality, are not very configurable or lack even basic functionality or any combination of these.

Thank you too,

Sjakko

[MrC]

@Sir Didymus

nice to hear from you! I can understand the difficulties in updating BatchMux, that is already excellent tool. Anyway, I'm sure that sooner or later you will come back to us with some news, and I will be there for beta testing and finally implement the new feats into AVStoDVD.

Thanks

;)

[techreactor]

@MrC

Is there a possibility to introduce options so that the complete encoding/ Authoring can be done in small projects. for eg:

In the morning:
Encode Video (Check)
Encode Audio (Check)
Author (unCheck)

Now in the evening:

Encode Video (Check- Completed)
Encode Audio (Check - Completed)
Author (Check - Processing)

This will give flexibility in terms of splitting the effort/time.

Also are you planning to release the beta with newer versions of the supporting tools and the FFMpeg 0.10.x and do you have any plans to include 64bit versions ?

[MrC]

@techreactor

I have not clearly got your suggestion. Could you please elaborate a bit more? Thanks ;)

About new tools version, you will find a MediaInfo update. 64bit upgrade is not possible for Visual Basic 6. I should to translate the whole code to a more evoluted programming language, but the effort is too big at this time.

I want to split the work done by AVStoDVD,

for eg. I want to encode the Video at 10AM, Encode Audio at 12PM and then Author both of them at 2PM if one cannot spare 2-3 hrs for the whole process to finish in one go.

therefore I was wondering if such option can be made available.

[MrC]

Got it. Yes it could be implemented. May I ask what is the reason behind this feat request. Availability of the PC only in some hours?

Hello Mr. C,

I tried to make a DVD from an .mkv file. The video is fine but there is no sound on the DVD. I'm using Verbatim DVD-R discs and AVStoDVD Release 2.4.2. The log is below. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Log file created by AVStoDVD Release 2.4.2

Got it. Yes it could be implemented. May I ask what is the reason behind this feat request. Availability of the PC only in some hours?

;)

Yes that could be one, since the encoding takes almost all the CPU power, inbetween you might need it to do other things.

Another one could be for eg. if you face problems with the Audio/ Subs, you do not need to reencode the Video(which takes most of the time), just skip onto the Audio or Subs encoding and use the earlier encoded Video file for Authoring.

Only the delete temp files feature should be disabled if this feature is enabled.

PS. Please also include the FFMPEG 0.10.x release in your next Beta, most of the known errors of FFMPEG are corrected.

Hi, @MrC;

The AviSynth 2.6.0 MT is compatible with the AVStoDVD?

Thanks!

[MrC]

@movieman99

the AC3 audio is there in the DVD. No apparent issues from the log file. Have you tried the DVD disc with a standalone DVD player or only with the PC?

@techreactor

got it. BTW to resume an already completed video encode, you have just to delete the log file and start again the project with the *same* settings. I will have a look at the latest ffmpeg release.

@jandor

well, never tried. Blame on me.... But I'm sure you may be a great tester! ;) Let me know of any outcome.

I usually use AviSynth 2.6.0 MT (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1570732&postcount=11002) with RipBot264.
Now I made an encoding for DVD by AVStoDVD and gave no problem this version of AviSynth.

Thanks!
