Glad you got it working... :D

And how do you like the quality?

Another tip I forgot to mention is when using high quality HD sources you will often be a little bit disappointed by the SD quality of the resulting DVD. I found that using FineSharp by Didée does a very good job of bringing back some of this crisp HD character to the result. If you are interested, get it here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/s5wu0v
Just extract the files into your "AviSynth\Plugins" folder and add "Video = Video.FineSharp()" (without the quotes) to your AVS script.

FineSharp only works in YV12, so the filter needs to be AFTER the "ConvertToYV12()" statement.

Also did you extract all three files to the AviSynth autoload folder (usually "C:\program files x86\Avisynth\Plugins"). If there is another MaskTools2 DLL in this folder please try to rename the extension temporarily to DL_. Plus make sure that you have all current VC++ runtimes installed. The easiest way to do this is using the AIO runtime installer by abbodi1406 hrom here:

Sorry, completely forgot Repair.DLL from Kassandro`s RemoveGrain package... :o

Get it here:

or use RGTools as Groucho suggested. But then you need to delete RemoveGrain.DLL from your autoload folder to avoid having two different DLLs with identical functions.

i did 2 encodes 1 with hcenc all high settings 2pass and ffmpeg 2pass ultra hq with finesharp, ive played them side by side, the ffmpeg version i would say has slightly better sharpness on letters buts its hard to see any major difference, but i guess thats partly due to the low res of dvd, what can we expect from such res, but i guess we are getting the absolute best we can from dvd standard now

Why when i am using the script about converting from NTSC to PAL the resulting DVD is oversized? Instead of being about 4,32 gb it results to about 4,50 gb.

Sorry, no idea... :eek:

Is this consistent for all sources, or did it just happen with one specific source? Also if you used 1-pass VBR for the conversion, please try to use 2-pass instead.

jim26

13th July 2019, 20:26

I am using HCenc vbr 2-pass. I will try a different source and i will comment later, thanks!

jim26

17th July 2019, 11:34

Unfortunately same thing and with other sources. I am gonna use the PAL speed up from AVSTODVD that works fine.

manolito

18th July 2019, 02:29

Alright, I found it... :devil:

When calculating the required bitrate to reach the specified size AVStoDVD takes into account if speedup or slowdown is specified. When PAL speedup is selected, but the script is later modified so there will be no speedup, then the bitrate will be off by about 4%. :stupid:

To get the correct bitrate you need to do the following:
1. In Explorer go to the AVStoDVD\DGPullown folder and temporarily rename DGPulldown.exe to something else.
2. Fire up AVDStoDVD, under Preferences->AviSynth uncheck PAL Speedup.
3. Load your source, under View/Edit Title Settings->AviSynth edit the AVS script by inserting my script after the resize command.

Don't forget to rename DGPulldown.exe back to its original name when you are finished with your encode.

Cheers
manolito

P.S.
If you rather stick with the speedup routine, but you would like to add audio pitch correction (so audio will play faster, but at its original pitch), you can do this by using the AviSynth TimeStretch command. Let me know if you are interested...

If you rather stick with the speedup routine, but you would like to add audio pitch correction (so audio will play faster, but at its original pitch), you can do this by using the AviSynth TimeStretch command.

You did not ask for this, but I figured that it would be good to have all the possible NTSC to PAL conversion options explained in one place. So here comes how to use PAL speedup with pitch correction...

AviSynth has an internal TimeStretch function which lets you alter the pitch or the tempo of an audio stream. We will use the "tempo" parameter here.

In AVStoDVD you need to select "PAL speedup" under "Preferences", under "View/Edit Title Settings->AviSynth" the script must be edited like this: The line
AssumeFPS("pal_film", sync_audio=true).ResampleAudio(48000)

must be edited so it will become
AssumeFPS("pal_film").ResampleAudio(48000)
TimeStretch(tempo = 25.0/(24000.0/1001.0)*100.0)
(Instead of "ResampleAudio(48000)" there could be "SSRC(48000)" present in this line. Just leave it as it is...)

Some important notes about the different TimeStretch versions:
Classic AviSynth 2.60 comes with a rather outdated version of the TimeStretch plugin which does not support audio streams with more than two channels. There are several ways to deal with this:

1. Keep AVS 2.60, but download and install the external TimeStretch plugin by Wilbert. You can find it here:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1722472#post1722472
Extract TimeStretch.dll into your AviSynth\Plugins folder. To make the external plugin coexist with the internal function, it must be called with "timestretchplugin()" instead of "timestretch()". Make sure your VC++ redistributables are installed. Get the latest versions here:
https://github.com/abbodi1406/vcredist/releases

2. Upgrade to AviSynth 2.61 Alpha. Don't worry about the "Alpha" label, it is stable. Download the stripped-down version here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/gvkxp1
No installation required, just extract the files into the corresponding folders overwriting the existing files.

3. If you are adventurous you can upgrade to the latest AVS+. The current AVStoDVD version supports it. Only use the latest release from here:
https://github.com/AviSynth/AviSynthPlus/releases
Note: The installer defaults to installing both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions. AVStoDVD can only use the 32-bit version, so you could probably uncheck the option to install the 64-bit version (unless you have other software which can use the 64-bit version).

hmm why is mediainfo reporting a file is only 6 seconds long when its actualy 2 hours ??, so avstodvd wont work

manolito

30th July 2019, 20:05

Obviously this should not happen, but sometimes it still does...

It could be MediaInfo itself, or your source file is problematic. You can try updating MediaInfo to the latest working version 18.5. The DLL is here:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/m4myu1
Just extract the DLL into your "AVStoDVD\Lib" folder.

Otherwise try to remux your source, maybe using a different container. If your source is a transport stream (extension TS, MTS, M2TS) then it is always a good idea to remux it into an MKV container (use MKVToolNix). The reason is that transport streams do not contain time stamps, but MKV streams do.

Good luck...

Mike-uk

31st July 2019, 19:57

ah hmm, something seems to be broken with my system :(, so i swaped out media info for the 18.5 and now it displays no media info, ive uninstalled and reinstalled avstodvd and still the same :(

First of all do not attach pictures directly in this forum, it can take forever until a moderator approves them. Use a hosting service like postimg.cc instead.

Did you really replace "Mediainfo.dll" in the "Program Files (x86)\AVStoDVD\Lib" folder with the extracted version from my upload? Or did you just copy the uploaded ZIP file?

Mike-uk

31st July 2019, 22:32

no i extracted the mediainfo.dll to the lib folder, although just noticed a strange thing within avstodvd in the operations window its saying mediainfo v19.07 initialized ??

but in avstodvd prefrences and under software it clearly says it has found version 18.5.0.0

manolito

31st July 2019, 23:01

All MediaInfo versions after 18.5 are NOT compatible with AVStoDVD. Looks like you have version 19.07 installed somewhere else on your computer, and this folder where the newer version is located is in your environment "Path" variable.

Mike-uk

31st July 2019, 23:23

yes i unfortunately installed 19.07, but have uninstalled mediainfo and avstodvd reinstalled avstodvd and still the same, avstodvd is set to the correct path to mediainfo.dll and reports 18.5 but when avstodvd reads a file it seems its still seeing 19.07 ?? not sure whats happened :(, looks like i need to reinstall windows

manolito

1st August 2019, 00:47

No you don't need to reinstall Windows...
Use Search to find all instances of MediaInfo.dll on your System partition. If you find any instance of the file in a folder like "syswow64" check the version (just hover the mouse over the file), and if it says "version 19.07" delete the file.

Hi guys.

I was wondering if you could manage the automatic avi script with the automatism that allows you to perform an interlaced encoding with better motion quality. If the source is progressive at 50 fps and you have chosen to interlace currently the script is as follows

Video = Video.ConvertToYV12()
Video = Video.Spline16Resize(720,576)
Video = Video.SelectEven()

but as we have already verified with Manolito, in this case with a real 50 fps at source, the most correct script would be this

Video = Video.ConvertToYV12()
Video = Video.Spline16Resize(720,576)
Video = Video.AssumeTFF()
Video = Video.SeparateFields()
Video = Video.SelectEvery(4,0,3)
Video = Video.Weave()

another question: is it not possible with AVStoDVD edit the source? Even just at the beginning and at the end?

I prefer HCenc because have 2-pass mode that it is not allowed with ffmpeg

Thank you!

Now that you got MediaInfo 18.5 working, does this version report the correct duration of your problematic source file?

manolito

1st August 2019, 22:35

@ red5goahead

Nice to see you back so soon... :)

Yes, in AVStoDVD you can edit the source, but you can only cut away one section at the start and another section at the end. No splicing together multiple parts. This is how you do it:

Load your source and click "View/Edit Title Settings -> AviSynth". Untick automatic script creation and press the Preview button at the lower left. Now you have two additional buttons "[" and "]" which let you set the start and end frames. Close the preview window, now you will notice a new Trim command at the end of the script.

Usually using HCenc is preferred over FFmpeg. By default FFmpeg only allows basic CBR encodes without B-Frames. This will only give you good quality at very high bitrates, and this is how AVStoDVD uses it by default. But you can also use FFmpeg in 1-pass and 2-pass VBR modes by installing my VBR plugin:
https://files.videohelp.com/u/172211/Manolito_s%20A2D%20Plugins.7z
It is almost identical to the DVDStyler plugin. Only there is no integration into the software, users have to edit a batch file with NotePad to change settings.

For using the script to interlace 50fps sources, don't forget to also set "Interlaced TFF" flags for the encoder. After editing the scipt go to the Video tab, uncheck Automatic and tick "Interlaced -> TFF". If you forget this, the encoder will encode the (now interlaced) source using progressive settings, very bad for the quality.

I do have my doubts if MrC will agree to make this automatic, though. It is not too common creating an interlaced DVD from a progressive source. Then having a 50fps progressive source means mostly that the broadcaster just inserted duplicate frames. At least for film sources which were originally shot at 24fps the broadcaster just speeds it up to 25fps and then inserts a repeated frame for every source frame. In such cases interlacing it makes no sense. Users would have to analyze the source first before making a decision about interlacing it or not.

Cheers
manolito

//EDIT//
but you can only cut away one section at the start and another section at the end. No splicing together multiple parts.
Actually there is an easy workaround for this restriction. It uses VirtualDub together with a simple tool called VCF2AVS. Basically you just load your source into VDub, do all your edits, then save your work into a VCF configuration file with "Save Processing Settings". VCF2AVS converts this into an AVS file which has all the necessary Trim commands in it. Paste these Trim commands to the end of your AVS script in AVsToDVD...

red5goahead

2nd August 2019, 00:29

The editing function is more than enough but the problem is that you do not see the video and therefore it is not usable (I'm under Windows 10 64 bit 19H1)

https://i.postimg.cc/44tQLRHL/immagine.png

As for the fact that sources are hardly at 50/60 fps real is certainly true but with Hdmi acquisition cards this is possible (or in my case a sender Hdmi that using multicast, I wrote a utility (https://github.com/Red5goahead/Lenkeng-Hdmi-Extender-Encoder)to grab it with ffmpeg). Avstodvd developers could add a check as for the DV source confirming manually that the source is at 50/60 fps real and set the proper avisynth script

Damn, another report that the A2D preview is not working under Win10... :mad:

You are not the first user with this problem. A2D uses the ancient Quartz.dll for the preview, but I never found something that MS has stopped supporting this method under Win10. I am on Win7-64, and I have no problem with the A2D preview. If there is no way to make the preview work, you know that you can specify a different software player for the preview under preferences? Just no editing...

Here is something you could try:
The batch file in the linked archive restores a couple of AviSynth Registry entries which get altered by installing LAV filters. It may or may not help, but it sure does not do any damage.
https://www.sendspace.com/file/l9zgsz

The other file in the archive is VCF2AVS which you need if you want to use the VDub method to edit your source files.

Avstodvd developers could add a check
There's only one single A2D developer, and this is MrC. Unfortunately he does only have very limited time lately to work on AVStoDVD, I try to help out with user support as much as I can, but of course my contributions are limited - I am just an informed user, not a developer.

Here are some updated audio downmix functions for AVStoDVD for possible inclusion for the next version... ;)

The discussions are here:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/277852-AVStoDVD-Support-Thread/page128#post2557993
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176788

From the Readme:
Updated audio downmix functions for AVStoDVD
---------------------------------------------

Proposed by JuMe from the VideoHelp support forum
and using some help by tebasuna51

These are the changes:

1. Fixed a bug in the function "Dmix6Dpl2Lfe".
(The second "Return" statement did not belong there)

2. Added downmix functions for 7ch -> 6ch and a Dolby ProLogic IIx
compatible function for 8ch -> 6ch. (Thanks to JuMe for proposing it)

3. For the 7to6 and 8to6 downmix functions I added tebasuna's suggestion
to avoid clipping in the surround channels by converting the input
to float and use an audio limiter for the surround channels at the end.

Usage:

Extract the files from the "Lib" folder into your "AVStoDVD\Lib" folder.

To apply these new functions you need to edit the AVStoDVD AVS script
manually because A2D does not use them by default.

Hi, me again :P

29.97 fps to pal 25 fps results in very choppy panning shots :( , any way to solve this ??

im pritty sure i had ntsc slowdown ticked, but i see no changes in the avisynth script ??

Thanks
Mike

manolito

17th September 2019, 18:55

Yes, there are several ways to create smoother results...

First question is if your source is progressive or interlaced. If the source is interlaced then you do not have a choice. AVStoDVD will automatically use the preferred method for the conversion which will result in an interlaced PAL DVD. And this resulting DVD should play just as smoothly as the source.

But if your source is progressive then you do have choices. Pans will be juddery if you use ChangeFPS for the fps conversion. Under "Preferences -> AviSynth" you can specify the method for hard fps conversion. The "Insert/Drop Frames" option does use ChangeFPS. Using "Blend Frames" uses ConvertFPS instead. Looks smoother, but you will get ghosting. "Motion Compensation" uses the MCJMFPS.avsi script which interpolates frames. Should be very smooth, but depending on the source characteristics you may get some artifacts (most often warped vertical lines).

The last option is not included in the A2D options, you need to edit your AVS script manually. This option will not drop whole frames like ChangeFPS, it will drop fields instead which looks much smoother. The downside is that your result will be interlaced. Here is the script:
# Insert after the resizer

Last = Video
Interleave(Last, Last)
ChangeFPS(50) # Drops Frames
# ConvertFPS(50) # Blends Frames
AssumeTFF()
SeparateFields()
SelectEvery(4,0,3)
Weave()
Video = Last

# The encoder must be set to "Interlaced".

Cheers
manolito

//EDIT//
Just saw your edited post...
NTSC slowdown won't help you here. This option applies if your source is PAL progressive (25 fps). When this option is ticked, A2D will slowdown 25fps to 23.976 fps and then add soft pulldown flags to make the output fps 29.97 fps.

Mike-uk

17th September 2019, 19:11

Hi manolito thanks for the fast reply,

the source file is progressive,

Mike-uk

18th September 2019, 17:39

went with motion compensation as a test proved to be fine

but im seeing a first pass encode at 30 fps, where as when using smart selection i was getting 200-300 ??

also i see there is a new FrameRateConverter v1.3 script, but the version Mrc uses is an edited version so i guess the new script wont work

manolito

18th September 2019, 18:54

Yes, using MVTools based motion compensation is very slow. The default settings are still tolerable for me, but wait until you add the "DCT=1" parameter. This can improve the quality considerably, but at a ridiculously low speed.

FrameRateConverter and the simplified John Meyer version are closely related. Basically FrameRateConverter is based on the JM script and adds some artifact masking. For me the difference in quality is very small, in most cases it is not worth the effort. But of course you can use FrameRateConverter with AVStoDVD. Put the AVSI script in your AviSynth autoload folder, and make sure that only the latest versions of all the dependencies are installed (only use the latest Pinterf versions). To call the script you need to edit your AVS script in AVStoDVD, there you replace the call to MCJMFPS with FrameRateConverter. The calling parameter convention is a little different, though. For the frame rate you do not use a float value, instead you use two integers for fpsnum and fpsden. For a target frame rate of 29.97 you need to specify "fpsnum=30000" and "fpsden=1001" instead of "fps=29.97".

Mike-uk

18th September 2019, 21:56

ok thanks, think ill just stick with the internal motion then, what i dont understand is cpu is at 18% yet only achieves 30fps ??

almost 6hrs for 3 hours of content :eek:

maybe just encode in NTSC format and take a slight resolution hit

Mike-uk

18th September 2019, 23:37

ok so i installed avisynth + MT and used prefetch (4) at the end of the script and that seems to bump fps back to 100 fps, any insight to negative effects ?

manolito

19th September 2019, 00:31

Multitasking does help a lot with MVTools. If you use it for HD conversions using X264 or X265 you might get crashes sooner or later. AVStoDVD seems to be less affected in my experience.

My plugin package for AVStoDVD now also has a section on using AVS+ MT under AVStoDVD. Download here:

But before doing this you should try if BD Rebuilder really refuses to run under AVS+. I am not familiar with BD Rebuilder, but for DVD Rebuilder jdobbs says the same thing, and it is not true. DVD Rebuilder runs nicely under the latest AVS+ version by pinterf.

bd rebuilder forces it's self closed if Avisynth is not present or wrong version

Can you cut out a short section of such a source file and upload it to a file hoster? And the AVStoDVD log file would also be nice...

Thanks for uploading your sample...

But I cannot reproduce your issue. I tried to replicate your settings as good as I could, but I got a very nice result. BatchMux had no complaints. I used the first 3 subtitle tracks, and something is wrong here. Only the first subs track shows English subs, the other 2 just show question marks. Weird...

I know almost nothing about subs, might well be that BatchMux stumbled upon one of your subtitle tracks. But it sure has nothing to do with the PAL Speedup option. At least not on my machine.

Get my test results here:
