I mean at the end of the ecoding using the mkv extension there is no file at all, but if I select the mp4 extension there is a file at the end. Just don't know why mkv doesn't work.

You are using limited account therefore mkvmerge cannot save on C:\ . Save on desktop instead or in another partition.

I have an 5.5G Ipod and cannot import from itunes to ipod a file with level 3.0 (I used the IPOD 1.3 profile and edited the level number )
I can import the same file with the IPOD1.3 profile but my res is limited to 320x240).
I can do it with Videora (level 3.0 and res of 640x480 ) and wanted to know if it was related to http://www.redkawa.com/blog/post.php?t=3820
Videora is using FFmpeg with x264.
I cannot import also successfully with megui.
Thx.

Alright, it's disabled. So I should convert the video again the same I did last time and it should work?

Thanks for all your help.

Did you try floola instead of iTunes?

Yes if you will see 6 channels in RipBot :)

Awesome, thanks a lot.:)

Your program is the only program that I've found that converts HD .mkv files without a hitch!:thanks:

Once RipBot finishes task try to find ripbot264tmp directory.
Inside Jobx directory you should see four .cmd files. Open jobx_MuxFiles.cmd in notepad and add pause. Save.

Before executing jobx_MuxFiles.cmd make sure that video.264 and audio.aac is present in RipBot264tmp directory.

I need to know what mkvmerge says. (make a sreenshot)

No need now as for whatever reason it has just worked, strange. I haven't done anything since when I tried it yesterday. Thank you for your input :) If I get any problems again I will let you know. Thanks for making such a great x264 encoder:thanks:

Do I need to have a surround sound receiver in order to test if a file I converted with '5.1 CT AAC-LC 320kbps[cbr]' will work on the 360 or PS3? The 360 doesn't play the file and the PS3 tells me that the audio cannot be read, but video plays fine.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Unfortunately you need new receiver with AAC support otherwise PS3 (v2.10) will downmix to stereo (if you unchecked AAC in Audio Settings)

5.1 AAC is not even downmixed on XBOX360 :(

[--PlayStation3--]

So if I simply have an HDTV(which I'm guessing is Stereo) and no other receiver, and I try to play it on the 360: it won't work at all, and, playing it on the PS3: only video will work?

[Atak_Snajpera]

and I try to play it on the 360: it won't work at all, and, playing it on the PS3: only video will work?

I have only access to PS3 so I will describe how it works on that console. If I select AAC in audio settings video plays fine but I have no audio (receiver doesn't recognize AAC stream). if AAC is not selected I have only stereo. if you need receiver with AAC support check this http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1080982#post1080982

I understand now. 1 channel of the audio works now after I enabled AAC and DTS 5.1.

@Atak_Snajpera did you check the bug for my movie with DIB instead ofr UYV12 ? the .avs isn't right

[DJ_Price]

Where do the mp4 files go on the psp? I tried them in VIDEO, but nothing or do they have to be renamed to the old style naming to work?

[--PlayStation3--]

What is Normalizing? For the audio. It gives me 3 options, OFF; 100%, 200%. Default is OFF for imported .dts track. Which should I choose?

Don't worry I'm working at new version.

Did you update your firmware? The latest is 3.80.

What is Normalizing? For the audio. It gives me 3 options, OFF; 100%, 200%. Default is OFF for imported .dts track. Which should I choose?

Use 100% . 200% was added mainly for PSP users due to low volume on speakers.

[DJ_Price]

Did you update your firmware? The latest is 3.80.
I have the latest custom firmware, 3.71-M33-4.

[DJ_Price]

It shows in the video menu, but it says "Unsupported Data" on my psp.

[chuuey]

maybe it's the media splitter? Which version are you using? Try the recommended one in the first post

[DJ_Price]

I'm using the very latest version, 1.7.401.3. I tried another video made with MediaCoder & that played fine. So I don't think it's the splitter.

[DJ_Price]

Ok, I tried another video & this time I set it to resize it to psp size screen & it shows in the video menu & works :). But I found when I played it on my pc to check it, it still had the mp3 audio track aswell as the aac-lc audio track. Not sure if this is a bug or not.

[wiggo123]

Ok, so ive downloaded the app along with the splitter. And when ever i try to open a file it says:

" is not a pointing float value.

Im trying to convert a x264 file into something that is playable via my PS3, without losing any quality. I was under the impression that this nice little app would do this.

Any help would be helpful as I cant find what im looking for on this post.

TIA Wiggo

Edit: Once ive created the file, how would I go about playing it on my PS3? Do I need to create folders on the disc. And how can I ensure it uses a full dvdr-dl.

Thanks again

Wiggo

[Atak_Snajpera]

MP4 files should be in main directory on DVD or in VIDEO folder on HDD/PSP. I have bad and good news for you. MP4 cannot be bigger than 4096MB but there is way to avoid that:) Instead of MP4 select MKV and then remux mkv with AC3 sound to vob (mkv2vob). VOB file won't play on pc but it will play on PS3 and has no 4GB limit and you also don't need new receiver to decode 5.1 AAC audio :)

Brilliant stuff. Thanks for the quick reply.

Just a few more questions if you dont mind :)

Once ive converted the file to MKV and then use mkv2vob to convert it so it is playable on the PS3, Do I simply burn the disc using nero and DVD data file or some other way, as in folders and so on.

And in your honest opinion, are these files better in quality then WMV, which I am currently playing on my 360.

Thanks again.

Wiggo

Eidt: Does mkv2vob convert DTS tracks too?

[Atak_Snajpera]

Do I simply burn the disc using nero and DVD data file or some other way, as in folders and so on.

In nero make sure you use UDF format.

And in your honest opinion, are these files better in quality then WMV, which I am currently playing on my 360

h264 standard offers better quality than VC-1 (used in WMV)
But remember it doesn't mean you get better quality if do conversion from already compressed format (WMV) to h264. In this case you will get always worse quality.

[wiggo123]

In nero make sure you use UDF format.

Just straight onto the disc then, no folders required?

Im converting x264 files that are between 8gig and 13gig. Will this be ok. I understand it will take a while to do the conversion, but i think the quality will still be better (hopefully)

Thanks, Wiggo

[Atak_Snajpera]

Im converting x264 files that are between 8gig and 13gig

I hope you selected 'Lock Size' with 8150MB ? :) Otherwise it won't fit on DVD-R DL.

but i think the quality will still be better (hopefully)

Only if source has very good quality (HDTV , Blu-Ray and so on)

[wiggo123]

They are yeah.

I think u missed an earlier question, does mkv2vob convert DTS tracks too, more to thepoint, does it retain the DTS track during conversion?

[Atak_Snajpera]

It will be automatically converted to AC3.

[wiggo123]

It will be automatically converted to AC3.

Thanks very much Atak, you have been very helpful.

Congratulations on a really good app.

Thanks again, Wiggo

[wiggo123]

Hi again,

Ive just gownloaded an 8 gig x264 file and when i enter it into the app, it comes up with the following error:

" is not a valid floating point value.

Any ideas, do I need to install some other codecs, or is it something really simple to resolve?

TIA Wiggo

[Atak_Snajpera]

what's the type of file?

[wiggo123]

what's the type of file?

Its ok Atak, I didnt have the latest version of ffdshow installed.

Its encoding the file now.

Thanks, Wiggo

Hi,

Well, I just found this tool and love it so far...and that's despite having one minor problem! I'm generating mp4 for a PSP (lite). I've installed thew 3 pieces of software and and using a small VOB file from the Star Wars Extra's DVD. It converts fine and seams to give no errors....I just don't get any sound! It gives no sound on my PC or the PSP, but the video plays just fine.

Anybody have a clue to where I can start looking to see what's wrong?

Thanks,
Andy.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Send me that small vob (use http://www.mediafire.com/)

[waltzingandy]

Here is the URL....

[Atak_Snajpera]

I know what went wrong. DGIndex didn't find correct audio delay instead it reported 869019ms ! I will inform dgindex author about this issue. Meanwhile manually lower delay audio value to -250ms. Don't forget also to enable deinterlace and decimate.

[waltzingandy]

Quick update - I did just try the main (4:3) Disney intro from Lilo & Stitch and that worked fine.

Andy.

[waltzingandy]

Thanks - will re-try this later tonight when my current test has finished running.

Andy.

[Atak_Snajpera]

I'm almost sure it's not DGindex fault but yours. Next time make cuts on key-frames only.

What app did you use for cutting vobs?

[wiggo123]

Hi,

I recently used your app to convert a h264 file with a DTS soundtrack included in the file.

I selected "Save as Matroska Video" purely so I can then use MKV2VOB so I can then play it on my PS3.

Once it had converted to the MKV file, I ran MKV2Vob and it said "Unsupported Audio Codec: A_Vorbis"

I had a look at the audio section in Ripbot264, but all I can see where 2 settings, both by the looks of it only 2 channel.

I think I may have to adjust some settings somewhere, but Im not to sure where. Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Wiggo

[waltzingandy]

Actually, I didn't! This is a single chapter extracted from the DVD (using Shrink disk) with no editing at all. Now, it could be that the chapter is out-of-context and that that has caused the problem.

I did convert a whole movie last night and it worked fine. The only problem is that the audio is WAY off sync:( I'll have to do it again and guess what the delay should be. One thought, I already had dgindex installed, should I remove that version?

Thanks,
Andy.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Once it had converted to the MKV file, I ran MKV2Vob and it said "Unsupported Audio Codec: A_Vorbis"

You should use AC3 instead of OGG. PS3 doesn't support OGG/DTS... therefore MKV2VOB supports only AC3 audio.

The only problem is that the audio is WAY off sync

use -250ms and check it in preview (properties -> preview)

[DJ_Price]

I have a dvd player that plays divx & nero digital files. I tried an mp4 converted with ripbot, but it didn't work, what settings should I use so it's compatible, that's if it will output the same files as nero does?

[Atak_Snajpera]

try to use PSP profile and SD resolution. Check in manual if AVC is even supported. I guess only ASP is supported.

[wiggo123]

[QUOTE=Atak_Snajpera;1084138]You should use AC3 instead of OGG. PS3 doesn't support OGG/DTS... therefore MKV2VOB supports only AC3 audio.


I dont understand, when i select a file, it only lets me choose 2 channel sound:

2.0 CT AAC-LC 128 kbps (cbr)
2.0 OGG Vorbis 128 Kbps (Q4)
NO AUDIO

I know for a fact that the selected file has a 5.1 soundtrack.

Please help

TIA Wiggo

[buzzqw]

just as note: remember that ps3 will not decode aac to 5.1 wav.. but will feed directly your amplifier with aac sound..

so.. your apli is able to decode aac ? if yes you need 5.1 aac audio, else your ps3 will output stereo wav..
