Encode EVO HD files to AVI/MKV/MP4/MPG 1/2 etc.?

[calmike79]

Well, other than playback, using AviSynth script creator thru megui also shows the 25 fps for Kingdom in the script file.

[BLKMGK]

I just checked mine, it's fine. Why are you using meGUI to create a script file?! I use the FPS from eac3to and the script I modify by hand. Here's a detail on how I do my rips -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135361 My FPS is fine and audio synched.

[calmike79]

Hmm. well.. I like how it handles settings for cropping and filtering... and hadn't been giving problems otherwise. Do you also show 25fps?

Not really looking foward to reencoding on my 1.83G Core Duo!

[calmike79]

Oh the other nice thing is that you don't have to bother with graph files, which I'd been having trouble with. In any case, what's the command switch to get fps feedback?

[calmike79]

Thanks for that link by the way; it was the main thing to get me started. I just noticed where you said "always 23.976 for HD-DVDs". I guess since megui's been working well, I could always just force that change manually in the .avs file after creating it. Are you 100% positive on that? Right now I'm finishing up 2001 which was indeed 23.976, but I have Blades of Glory que'd up with 29.x

[calmike79]

btw, here's a typical script file megui creates in the case of no cropping needed. see how it gels with one of yours:

# Set DAR in encoder to 1111 : 625. The following line is for automatic signalling
global MeGUI_darx = 1111
global MeGUI_dary = 625
DirectShowSource("E:\blades\blades.mkv",fps=23.976,audio=false)
#deinterlace
crop( 0, 0, 0, 0)

Lanczos4Resize(1904,1072) # Lanczos4 (Sharp)
Undot() # Minimal Noise

[BLKMGK]

Every movie I've encoded has been at 23.976. The script I've used is the one at the start of this thread:

DirectShowSource("serenity.grf", fps=23.976, framecount=171229, audio=false)

I'm doing a BD rip now and have no framecount and am not using a raph file so we'll see how that goes. I use no filters or anything to sharpen etc. So far with the exception of my previous attempts to get a good BD encode I've had no issues with audio synch or stuttering on any movie. My process is pretty much this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135361) for HD-DVD.

[Blue_MiSfit]

Yep, I haven't run into any "true" 29.97fps movies - they've all been 24p.

If you're seeing higher frame rates, chances are your video is having pulldown applied at some point in the decoding chain, which isn't necessary.

Keep things simple.

1) Rip EVOs

2)

eac3to file1.evo+file2.evo

This will give you all the stream information.

3) Assuming track 2 is the video, and track 3 is the audio:

eac3to file1.evo+file2.evo 2:video.mkv 3:audio.ac3


4) Now you have an MKV, which is a remux of the original video stream, and an AC3. The MKV file doesn't need any special GraphEdit filter graph to decode in AviSynth with DirectShowSource So...


DirectShowSource("...\video.mkv")
#add any filters you need / want

This is your script, and hooray you can encode this with MeGUI or whatever you please!

You can drop this into VirtualDub or avsP and get more info about the video at this point. If the frame rate here is _really_ different from 23.976fps, I would like to know!

[calmike79]

thanks guys. i manually changed the fps for Blades of Glory to 23.976 and everything is fine. (well except for the fact that my CD 1.8Ghz Macbook Pro can just barely handle playback. I'm using SA HD DVD encoding profile in megui, btw, typically a 6000 Mbps rate, with full 1080p which might be unnecessary as I playback on a 24" Soyo LCD).

The nice thing about the script creator in megui is easily selection of cropping dimensions / clever anamorphic. Wonder what trips up the fps though?

Incidentally, I've been transcoding DVDs via a similar routine. I've noticed that the gamma seems slightly off.. a bit too dark. Anyone have experience with that? (realize that's a bit off topic, unless it's been encountered on HD DVD also?)

[informationspy]

Blue bury dvd is a very new tool, although some product have published to our consumer,but the technic is not very mature! and still some disc can not play in bule bury dvd if you bought!

[Tegeril]

Rule of thumb. All HD-DVD releases should be 23.976fps. Anything else reported, unless it's not from a major movie studio is likely incorrect. I had no trouble converting The Kingdom at 23.976fps. Have converted all of Planet Earth and over 45 other HDDVDs and they are all 23.976 whether they are VC-1 or H.264 (EVODemux erroneously reports H.264 titles as 60fps).

DITTO! Why even use EVOdemux now? Eac3to handles the demuxing just fine for me...

[Tegeril]

Only because I have been since I started when eac3to couldn't. I imagine a Haali -> WMV DMO filter still works if I use eac3to to take VC-1/H.264 and put it in an MKV, right?

[calmike79]

Anyone else using the xbox HD DVD player? I noticed a new update is coming out this week; but all my googling and I failed to find out if/how you can update it thru windows (I don't own the console). Any guesses?

[Tegeril]

It's not an update for the player. It's an update for the software that plays the discs on the Xbox 360. Equivalent upgrade would be a new PowerDVD version.

[calmike79]

looks like eac3to has added chapters support. anyone used it yet?

Ah okay :) Yes, you can still use the Haali splitter and WMV DMO in a Graph file for VC-1. For H.264 I think you need a different one than the Windows one - it's all listed here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=135361) for how I happen to do it. BD is much the same, not too much different just enormous files and a few other quirks FWIW. I've been finding that a graph file isn't strictly needed but like you it's one of those things I've been doing so I keep doing it. One of these days I'll try to make more complex AVIsynth files, right now I'm not using much of that power.

Oh right, of course. I use the FFDShow decoder for H.264, not sure why I worded it the way I did. My Avisynth stuff is quite remedial too, but the video is stunning so I'm over it ;)

[calmike79]

here's a generic question for you guys. let's say you're interested in getting files as compressed as possible while maximizing quality.

for example, i watch everything on my 24" soyo monitor from about 7-8' away. it's a great screen, but not huge, obviously.

so here's the question: if you go below a certain bitrate, does it make sense to downscale the encode to 720p from 1080p; or will the fact that my screen displays 1080p natively (and thus no upscaling from 720p would be required) make up for it?

[calmike79]

btw, i've used bitrates as low as 5800Mbps with the SA-HDDVD profile in megui and everything looks great (compression artifacts, etc) as long as you're not 2' from the screen. i'm thinking i can go lower than this still.

[BLKMGK]

You can probably go lower still yes, at some point you'll see an issue with quality though and if you want to play them on a larger screen later you might not like the results. I keep stuff fairly large because I never know what I might want to do with it down the road <shrug>

[calmike79]

points taken. however, i figure way down the road, say 3-5 years, there'll probably be another remaster / higher bitrate source to start from anyway, FWIW, so I don't mind being a bit shortsighted. Any sense on what bitrate is the threshold (if any) before you'd want to downscale the res to 720p (i.e. < 4000Kbps?)

Well, I've reripped my MP3 collection 3 times now - do that for a couple hundred CDs a few times and it gets old. I'd do it again to lossless FLAC now that I have storage space but I don't want the hassle. I have 600DVDs, I ripped them uncompressed because I never want to do THAT again at 15mins apiece. I have 25 or so Hi-Def movies now, I compress them because I cannot afford the storage uncompressed. I do them high bitrate though so that they will display well even if I get a giant projector down the road. These are taking significantly longer to process!:rolleyes: I don't much want to buy multiple times and I don't want to go through this process again like i did with my MP3s:eek:

If you're screen is that small why not scale down to 720P? Many of the TV shows I download are 720P and look pretty good on a larger screen, for a 24inch display you ought to be fine. I honestly don't know how low a bitrate you can go, best to experiment a bit I'd guess. If there's an Apple TV profile maybe try that - it ought to be pretty lightweight. Maybe modify downwards from there on short clips and see how it looks? Just know that on a larger screen it won't look so good and you'll have to do it again - it will take longer at higher bitrates too.

[calmike79]

where/how are you getting all this storage space, btw? i have about 1.4 TB total and I'm starting to run out already

[BLKMGK]

where/how are you getting all this storage space, btw? i have about 1.4 TB total and I'm starting to run out already

I have two unRAID (http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php) servers. One of them is just for workstation backups, TV show downloads, and file storage, it's all IDE and has 12 drives in it (one is parity) that are all between 300-500Gigs each. The second server is all SATA. It has all 1TB and 750Gig drives in it, total of 9 drives (one is parity).

I buy a drive only when I start to run out of space and when I see a good sale. I buy Seagates almost exclusively because they have a good warranty and hold up well. My 1TB drives though are "green" WDs although I did just recently get a Seagate 1TB that's not yet installed (supposed to be for my TIVO HD but....). The servers use low power Celerons, the drives spin down when not being actively used, and the new server uses an 80+ P/S that helps with effeciency - both of them are on UPS. These days I buy nothing smaller than a 750 for storage, workstations maybe a 500 tops.

unRAID can handle 16 drives max, my SATA machine will eventually hit that I think however I'm no longer adding drives to the IDE box. I might eventually convert the IDE to SATA, we'll see. I use Coolermaster "Stacker" cases with 5in3 SATA cages to save space and to provide cooling. For IDE I use CM 4in3 cages. Once in awhile I roll the servers into the driveway and dust them with the air compressor, otherwise they are pretty much like toasters in that they are appliances that just run. <shrug>

Not sure what total disk space is, for some silly reason the management interface doesn't give me a total, but it's in the 7-9TB range at least. The SATA box is strictly media and I do not have too terribly many HD disks on it - I still buy Plain Jane DVD mostly since $30 a flick is nutz. XBMC (http://xbmc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=52) (on Linux) is my frontend...

That help:p

P.S. My primary reasons for ripping all of my DVD to disk were simple. I got sick of family\friends\workmen coming into my home and either drooling over or asking to borrow DVDs. Finding what I wanted to watch at any particular time was a PITA too. A couple hundred DVD in plain sight in your living room is just asking for a break-in so I've removed the temptation. They're all stored in boxes and crates out of the way and out of sight.

I find xvid@6000 2 pass works for an 8 foot screen at 720p..
4000 shows artifacts..

I use 720p because it's native for my projector..

I'm experimenting with H264.. 4000 to 5000 in baseline profile looks good.. but im not finished with my tests yet..

and I'm not sure how to get the "best" out of 264.. anyone care to comment ?

thanks

[asarian]

dont understand why someone hasnt created a full indepth guide like there is for xvid and divx on this site, they would get loads of praise and would help 1000's of ppl.

I don't understand that either. For a newbie like me, doing VC-1 -> AVC transcoding is an almost impossibility, as no one seems to have a real, solid all-in-one answer.

All I want is to be able to transcode VC-1 to AVC, so I can stream the content to my PS3; but, Lord, I really stepped into something complex when I wanted to enter the HD world. :)

Have you tried using mencoder? i have encoded around 20 HD/BR's with it and all of them have worked flawlessly and playback just fine on my Xbox 360.

Thanks. In the end, I found RipBot264, though, which is an astoundingly easy front-end to H.264 encoding: just open a stream, choose a profile, and you're pretty much done. :) It automatically de-interlaces 1080i content, too. And with the a high 4.1 Profile, CQ, and CRF of 18, a max bitrate of 25Mbs, I get VC-1 -> AVC transcoding which, for lack of a better word, is perfect.

[dat720]

See as you've noticed it is not that complex, you just need to pick tools suited to the job.

Speaking of which, I'm now trying my hand on a few HD-DVDs. I see the main movie is split up into several FEATURE_x.EVO parts. Can I just use a binary copy /b, to join them? I read somewhere that this could be problematic, as you might get a sound delay at each junction. Or is there a better way to join them? Like adding each individial part in tsMuxeR?

Thanks.

[dat720]

Just use eac3to:
eac3to.exe g: 1) 3: HDDVD.mkv 5: HDDVD.ac3 -libav -84ms

Assuming your hd dvd has -84ms of audio delay... Transfromers does...

This will leave you with a 20gb MKV file with the demuxed video track and a 652mb AC3 audio track, again using Transformers as a example.

Look at the guide in my sig it covers eac3to usage and hwo to encode.

[asarian]

^^ No, these are real HD-DVDs, not mkv containers. :)

Since it says "seamless=true", I guess there's no harm in me doing a binary concatenate.

Odd though that I can't get EVOdemux to be smart about the XPL file. I have "continue with the next EVO" enabled, but it just added two parts. Anyway, I think this is going to work, but a real good solution it ain't. I mean, what happens if "seamless" is untrue, and I need to manually compensate for audio delays?

[dat720]

Just use eac3to!!!!!

I have ripped around 20 HD/BR's with eac3to, it does them perfectly and very little extra processing is required...

1) Demux with eac3to
2) Mux with MKVMerge
3) Encode with mencoder....
4) Done.

You are complicating things with the way your trying to do it, i don't see how copy /b is better than Demuxing with eac3to??

It has the same quality as the orginal HD/BR as all you have done is demux the streams and mux them into a different container, they are still the same format, baring the audio which i convert to AC3 for compatibility sake's.

Someone (a guide) told me to use EVOdemux for HD-DVD, so I did. But I found it lacking in intelligence (as I can't fathom what's so hard about reading an XPL file to extract the parts for the main movie). And I only resorted to copy /b because EVOdemux wouldn't understand which parts were needed.

But okay, I'll give eac3to a try for video, too. Until yesterday I didn't even know it could handle video as well. :)

[dat720]

Read this, i have explained in here how to demux video with eac3to, and there is also a link with allot more info than i covered.
