AVStoDVD Support Thread

[manolito]

Is it possible that I changed a setting in AVStoDVD causing this?

Could it be that you have this box checked?

@manolito: I loaded my software and it was unchecked. Maybe I used it, I cannot say for sure. But thanks for the input. I will try an encode without this box checked.

[Mister XY]

I get this error with the new beta.
edit: is not only in beta, it is also in 2.8.1
And i only get this error, if i activeted the checkbox "Pal Speedup für NTSC zu Pal benutzen".

I did a few encodes, ,made sure this box was not checked, does not work...
Uninstalling and reinstalling at this point. Hope this works :s

[MrC]

@Mister XY

better if you upload the image to another host service (Dropbox, Tinypic, Sendspace, Mediafire, ...). And post the 2.8.2 Alpha project log file too.

@SuLyMaN

as already mentioned, A2D (actually BatchMux) is not capable to force the direct play of first DVD title. The option manolito was referring is just the position of the highlight when the DVD menu is loaded: option unchecked -> first title thumb is highlighted, option checked -> play all button is highlighted.
Do you get the same behaviour (direct play of first title) with all the players you have tried? I mean software player (i.e. MPC-HC, VLC, WMP) and external DVD player?

Anyway, if you really can't figure out, you can use PgcEdit to mod the authored DVD structure to do what you prefer upon disc insert: http://jean.laroche.free.fr/Jumping0.4.3.1/

Heh Thanks for the answer. I actually do not want to play the first DVD title which is currently the case. I want it to go to the title menu which displays the 2-3 videos which I can then select to play.


The option manolito was referring is just the position of the highlight when the DVD menu is loaded: option unchecked -> first title thumb is highlighted, option checked -> play all button is highlighted.


As I said, I am getting no DVD menu, even clicking on root/title button is not getting on the menu to choose the titles currently.

I have used Windows media player and the auto DVD menu popup has also directly played the first title when selected. I cannot select the title/root menus. I have not tried on a new AVStoDVD install yet though.

Thanks for this link. I want to keep it as the last option I investigate/try :P

[Mister XY]

Where found i the log if i want to create the DVD Menu? I only have a log, if i create the complete dvd.
edit:
here is the Log
http://pastebin.com/gs6LFBNG
i have tested it with the LAv filter from AVS2DVD package (0.64,0.65), K-lite
with different source filters, and every is the same.
and here with coorect Menu

Thanks man! Still to solve my DVD menu issue but I'll give it a go!

[Big Vern]

Mr C, or anyone else.

What is the best setup for doing low bitrate DVDs? What matrix is best suitable, I have been reading its either FOX1 or AVAMAT7, is this the case?

Regards...

[SuLyMaN]

Solved...A new problem cropped up. I have a problematic video. No amount of tweaking will fix the image and sound syncing... I will post the details later.

Hi Big Vern,

what do you understand by "Low Bitrate"? Anything below 3500 kbps or even lower?

First of all do not overestimate the influence of a Custom Quant Matrix for an encoder which uses the exponential quantizer scale (like HCenc). So called low bitrate matrices basically have a LowPass effect on the encode.

The two matrices you mention are on opposite sides of the spectrum. Fox1 is definitely not for low bitrate encodes, it is one of the most bitrate eating matrices. Avamat7 is well suited for low bitrates.

The latest AVStoDVD Alpha has an "automatic" setting for the HCenc matrices. It uses Avamat7 for bitrates below 2500 and the MPEG Standard matrix for higher bitrates.

You really should do a couple of test encodes using different matrices and analyze the differences. Other settings I would recommend for low bitrates are HCenc 2-pass, profile best, and slightly raised values for AQ and LumGain (I use values of 2 for both).

Or you could try my FF_VBR plugin which allows to use ffmpeg 2-pass VBR with high quality parameters for bitrates below 3500 kbps. Fishman0919 believes that the quality is better than for HCenc (I do not really have an opinion...)

[adam933]

First I want to thank _MrC_, manolito, and others for their help.
I could never have figured out a2v (or most of it) by myself.

When I select Advanced Project Settings and tick "Edit Encoder Command Parameters at runtime" all is well until near the end of the encoding when the final
Window pops up with the Muxman parameters window on top of it. If I click the red X, Muxman starts and finishes the project.

This really isn't a big deal, but do I have something selected to cause it?

Thanks again for your help.

adam933

[manolito]

Hi adam933,

yes, I agree, the MuxMan parameter window is certainly not an encoder window, and IMO it is not very useful to be able to edit the MuxMan parameters at runtime. And it certainly gets in the way with unattended conversions.

Maybe a timeout which closes this window automatically after 30 secs or 1 min?


Cheers
manolito

[MrC]

Release 2.8.2 Final is out (https://sourceforge.net/projects/avstodvd/files/avstodvd/AVStoDVD%202.8.2/).

No major changes vs latest Alpha.

;)

[SuLyMaN]

Hi MrC. Thanks for the update.

A little 'annoyance fix' request if it is even possible. I have noticed that each time you select the ISO output and the ISO optimised setting is not present in imgburn (for example, you burnt a couple of divx vids, random files etc) on a DVD. Imgburn waits for user to change to the proper setting for outputing the ISO file. Is it not possible to do this via a command line paramter?

[manolito]

Thanks MrC for the new stable version. Works well... :thanks:

@ SuLyMaN

What exactly did you change in the IMGBurn options to burn other stuff? File system options?

The only additional command line parameters which should maybe added to AVStoDVD are these IMO:

/FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + UDF" /UDFREVISION "1.02" /RECURSESUBDIRECTORIES YES


Cheers
manolito

[SuLyMaN]

Oh I don't change anything myw. I go with imgburn recommendation. Each time I burn a type of dvd /cd, it keeps the last used setting. So everytime I use Avs2dvd and the last used setting is not the one used for outputting ISO, I get an imgburn pop-up waiting for user input.

[manolito]

Alright, then I think MrC should add some command line parameters to AVStoDVD. (The RECURSESUBDRECTORIES parameter is probably unnessessary)

If he thinks it is a worthwhile request that is :P. Also, Imgburn could be bundled in the installer? Or he needs permission to that.
The imgburn software needs only the imgburn.exe file to work properly.

[MrC]

@SuLyMaN

these are the common switches that A2D uses to create the ISO file:

/mode isobuild /buildmode imagefile /src "D:\Movies\DVD\DVD\VIDEO_TS" /dest "D:\Movies\DVD\DVD.iso" /volumelabel "DVD" /overwrite yes /noimagedetails /start /close

in addition to manolito' suggestion, what other ImgBurn settings are you using to be changed by A2D?

I cannot bundle ImgBurn to A2D package because Lightning UK (the author) did not give me the permission.

;)

Bye

[SuLyMaN]

Hi MrC. Thanks for the reply. I do not use any settings in particular. It's just that IMGBURN is my DVD burning software and when I do some type of CD/DVD (data, divx, etc) it saves the setting. If I use A2D after, it will not auto continue when the time comes to launch IMGBURN. Instead, there is a prompt to change settings and the prompt waits for user input to continue. I would guess that IMGBURN does not execute the command right away but awaits user confirmation ....

[MrC]

@SuLyMaN

could you post a screenshot of ImgBurn message? Which ImgBurn release are you using? I use it too for many purposes (audio CD, data CD/DVD, etc.) but I do not change any settings at all, hence I cannot replicate the issue.

First picture of me changing the settings in imgburn.....

Second picture of imgburn asking confirmation to change setting after A2D has finalised video conversion to convert output to ISO.
http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/54700356/A2D%20IMG%2002.png

Did a 3rd time with the ISO setting saved. Output was done automatically.

[manolito]

Yes, this is exactly what I thought...

/FILESYSTEM "ISO9660 + UDF" /UDFREVISION "1.02"

will fix it.

Can I change it somewhere in the A2D paramaters or is it something MrC should do himself? Thanks Manolito :)

[manolito]

This is something MrC would have to change... ;)

If you cannot wait for the updated A2D version, I could hack the call to IMGBurn.exe and add these paramters. (I have become some kind of a specialist for hijacking A2D helper tools. So far I hacked Wavi, FFMpeg and AVSMeter already... :D )


Cheers
manolito



//EDIT//
OK, this was quick and painless...

1. Download this file:
http://www69.zippyshare.com/v/bXlpP9Dm/file.html

2. In your ImgBurn folder rename ImgBurn.exe to _ImgBurn.exe (Do not change this name to something else)

3. Extract imgburn.exe from the downloaded archive into the ImgBurn folder

4. Enjoy...

[SuLyMaN]

Thanks manolito. Would it continue to properly select the filesystem or will it 'lock' it "ISO9660 + UDF" permanently irrespective of DVD being burnt?

[manolito]

It just sets the DVD file system on startup, nothing gets 'locked'. If you want to burn an XviD AVI it will pop up a window asking you to use the ISO + Joliet file system just like it did before. But on the next start the DVD file system will be active again.

So if you want to burn XviD AVIs most of the time, the new behavior could be a little annoying, because you have to change the file system to ISO + Joliet after every restart of IMGBurn.


Cheers
manolito

[SuLyMaN]

Oh thats great. Because when you burn Xvid, you are usually at your desktop :P unlike when doing an encode on A2D! So, your fix is great I'd say! Thanks again.

[adam933]

I have a sync problem with this project.

How do I manage the 2002 msec delay?

Thanks for your help.

[manolito]

A delay this large is certainly an error. Most likely reason are your DirectShow source filters (if you are on Win7 or Win8). Microsoft prevents that other installed filters get used, and the M$ filters are mostly crap.

You should change the preferred DirectShow Filtes to LAV.

Quote by MrC from a VideoHelp post:
you should avoid to have Microsoft DTV-DVD Video and Audio codecs doing the decoding stuff for your video and audio files. Use Win7DSFilterTweaker (or the tool inside AVStoDVD: 'Codecs'/'Preferred DirectShow Codecs Setup') to switch from MS codecs to LAV Filters


Cheers
manolito

[SuLyMaN]

Oh....You mean the audio and video are out of sync? If that is the case, I'll try changing codecs tonight! I had one problematic video driving me nuts. I tried like 7-8 times with different settings but the audio kept getting out of sync with the video!
Thanks!

Hi manolito
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm using all LAV filters - I just checked with FilterTweaker and ran it again to make sure.

I did get a better result (closer sync) when I replaced "VFR" with "true" in /lib/ A2DSource.avsi but I don't want to fiddle with _MrC_'s scripts if I can help it.

Thanks again for your help.

adam933

[manolito]

Hi adam933,

your A2D log would be helpful. On Doom9 it always takes a while to get attachments approved, so please post your log directly or upload it to SendSpace or ZippyShare or some other hoster.

Using convertfps = true all the time is a good idea IMO, from my experience this never hurts. (MrC might disagree...)

Personally I use DSS2Mod instead of DirectShowSource all the time for more than half a year, and DSS2 always uses convertfps=true, no way to disable it. And I never had issues with it.

Other things you could try is to use FFMpegSource instead of A2DSource for you video and audio. If your source has AVC video you could also try to repack it into an MKV container before feeding it to AVStoDVD.


Cheers
manolito

[MrC]

The log file (elsewhere) could help a lot.

BTW manolito suggestions, as well as A2D FAQs, are valid.

Thanks for the log file...

Looks OK to me except for the delay for the audio track.

How did you create the MKV? MakeMKV or MKVMerge?

In my experience large delay values like yours appear when the source file has problems at the beginning. Does the file come from a TV capture or from a DVD recorder? Was it a transport stream originally?

If the file was captured from DVB-S or DVB-T you should run it through ProjectX or PVAStrumento to convert it from TS to PS.

And what happens if you just ignore the delay (specify to not correct the delay in the audio settings) ?

Maybe you should cut out a short sample of your source (use DGIndex) and upload it somewhere...

Another option you have is to avoid audio re-encoding (it is already a DVD compliant AC3 track).

Very likely the audio delay reported by MediaInfo from your mkv is not reliable.

_MrC_ and manolito,

Thanks for the suggestions; I will try all of them.

Manolito - I have downloaded DSS2 mod + LAVFilters.zip. I already have LAV Filters installed. How do you "install" DSS2 mod ?

The BR title is from a DVD I purchased several years ago, and I used MakeMKV on it.

I'm still working on the clip.

Thanks for your help.

Manolito - I have downloaded DSS2 mod + LAVFilters.zip. I already have LAV Filters installed. How do you "install" DSS2 mod ?

I did it like this:

1. All you need from the DSS2Mod archive is the file "avss.dll" (or avss_26.dll for AviSynth 2.6). Copy the file (only one of them) into your "AviSynth\plugins" folder.

2. Load "A2Dsource.avsi" from the A2D\lib folder into notepad and replace the DirectShowSource part (starts at line 29) with the following:

Catch(Err_Msg) {
Try {
SourceStr = "A2DVideoSource: DSS2 mod"
Video = DSS2(VideoSource, fps = FrameRate, preroll = 15) # Set preroll to 100 or higher for interlaced HD .ts or .m2ts files
}



Since you have LAVFilters already installed you can disregard the LAV which comes together with DSS2Mod. (Basically DSS2Mod provides the possibility to use LAVFilters without installing them, but I have never used it this way).


Let me know how it works for you...

A delay this large is certainly an error. Most likely reason are your DirectShow source filters (if you are on Win7 or Win8). Microsoft prevents that other installed filters get used, and the M$ filters are mostly crap.

You should change the preferred DirectShow Filtes to LAV.
