@buzzqw

I just saw the "--engage keep-bit..." checkbox. It shoudl be gray (disabled) if the profile in not x264, mkv

I'm still trying to find out if there is any reason *not* to keep that option at all times for every x264/MKV encode. If it doesn't hurt anything, and only helps match the bitstream AR with the container, I would just leave it out and do it behind the scenes.

Anyone have some input on this theory?

EDIT: try this http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV095d.exeIt works now! :)

I'm a bit confused though. MediaInfo says that the DAR is 4/3 but AVInaptic reports:
Resolution: 720 x 480
Frame aspect ratio: 3:2 = 1.5
Pixel aspect ratio: 10:11 = 0.909090
Display aspect ratio: 15:11 = 1.363636

How does MediaInfo know? I'm guessing it has the standard PARs hardcoded? But then why is the standard PAR for 4/3 NTSC 10:11? Shouldn't it be 8:9?

@buzzqw,

Lately, I've had problems with VirtualDubMod crashing once the audio encoding starts. It gives me this message:

"An out-of-bounds memory access (access violation) occurred in module 'SoundOut'"

and then just the audio doesn't encode. It's weird, because I don't get it every time, but like 50% of the time... So I have to keep trying until the audio goes through... I was wondering what could be causing this.

@vgiozo
As a temp solution, have posted up on my site so you should be able to get without problems (so long as 300 other people don't beat you and use all my remaining bandwidth)
Cheers...
Thanks zacoz...

@buzzqw,

Lately, I've had problems with VirtualDubMod crashing once the audio encoding starts. It gives me this message:

and then just the audio doesn't encode. It's weird, because I don't get it every time, but like 50% of the time... So I have to keep trying until the audio goes through... I was wondering what could be causing this.

Started seeing this myself too quite a bit, unsure what's causing it.

One bug I have noticed is that if you set everything up just the way you want it, save the profile, you'll see that the audio delay ALWAYS defaults to "Sound out" even if you choose DelayCut when saving the profile.

Also, I'm testing 0.95c and I noticed neroenc is now not working, this is in the logs

Interestingly in the dos window I can see BEFORE ffmpeg is invoked for the audio, the complete list of command line options for neroenc is displayed, seems something is calling neroenc with wrong paramaters?.

I think the audio DID encode as I can see audio.mp4 AND (right now ffmpeg is running) a 0 byte audio.aac

here is contents of mkvaudio.avs

Trying with 0.95d now, so far audio is encoding with progress dialog box appearing, its 89% done, running at 7.83X eta 1:39....and its failed :-( screen grabs coming next.


http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/7190/compressingaudio1mi0.png (http://imageshack.us)

after (neroenc.exe*) encode has finished I see this

* neroenc_see.exe renamed to neroenc.exe

[Crono141]

thanks zacoz, it's was an hard work. Mainly because i don't knew what doing ;)

i will soon publish the 0.95b with varius fixes.

the next beta (0.96) will be focused on wmv, BUT if someone don't fix the avs2asf on audio part... i am lost :(

i'am also waiting for some feedback from DivX, i will love to add support to DivX codec by using CLI.exe (as in Dr.DivX) interface

BHH

One method I currently use actually takes the audio from each channel and creates a separate wav for it, and then uses WMEncoder to mux the video with each channel individually. Uses BBTool and BeSweet for demux. Dunno if this will help you any.

[buzzqw]

@survivant001
I just saw the "--engage keep-bit..." checkbox. It shoudl be gray (disabled) if the profile in not x264, mkv

added in todo list

@Encoder888 @Amir
please check the delaycut log

i can assure that both soundout and nero is working, BUT if audio file has some glitches.. then it's probably that somewhat will crash

i can suggest to use delaycut to handle "problematic" files

BHH

There is no delaycut log?. Is there anyway we can see exact arguments passed to neroenc so I can type by hand to see if it works?. I noticed all other external apps are stored to log files but the arguments used to invoke nero_enc is not output there?.


I believe the encode of the audio worked (because I can see complete .mp4 file for audio side (this should be audio.m4a though i think?).

I just had a look and see the following files


16/02/2008 16:56 108,220,726 audio.mp4
16/02/2008 17:10 241,562,247 audio1.mp4


I think audio is by Nero and audio1.mp4 is by FFDShow. A few interesting observations, both files play fine and are the right length. audio1.mp4 is 6 channel (i guess ffdshow ignores AutoMKV GUI as only stereo was selected for Nero). Thats kind of a "nice" bug as I wanted to retain 6 channel audio :-)

OK Just went back and checked all the other episodic encodes I've done and I can see the switch to 6 channel audio encode ONLY happened in the last encode, and this one. Thats 2 discs from current season of DVDs i am encoding. The other 5 seasons were encoded fine, still no issue, i'm happier with 6 channel audio encodes, as long as the mp4 container is happy.

[buzzqw]

this is the command line
Soundout(output="cmd",type=1,format=3,autoclose=true,executable="C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\AutoMKV093\exe\besweet\neroaacenc.exe",prefilename=" -ignorelength -q 0.35 -if - -of audio.mp4",postfilename="",nofilename=true,showoutput=false)
the audio done by ffmpeg is the audio1.mp4 since is the more recent, and since it's 5.1 and it's bigger. And again ffdshow is ignored by automkv...
moreover the 6ch is due to ffmpeg that ignore the "stereo" option

the log from delaycut is named "movie t80 3_2ch 448kbps delay -24ms.log" or similar.. in \temp folder

anyway i am glad you got a nice audio and results overall :)

here the changelog to 0.95

....
ADDED: Support for M2TS container using excellent tsMuxeR. I suggest to use PS3_XboX360 profile (have nal-hrd/aud enabled)
...

Does this mean support for Blu-Ray?

When I try to import an m2ts file (the main movie,) it doesn't see any audio, nor subtitles. Then it just errors when I say "rip."

[survivant001]

@buzzqw

Why int the ps3_x360 the 2pass quality is --me dia and not --umh ?

[nanorch]

@buzzwq


I think I just found out some more: this problem only occurs if one does *NOT* have NeroAAC installed...

that's true. if automkv don't find nero AND nero is the selected audio codec it will switch to ogg (maybe next update to cct aac)

No no, that is not the problem: I never selected NERO as the audio codec, but OGG and then saved settings.
My guess: because the drop-down list of codecs changes when NERO is not installed, the content of the automkv.ini file is not reloaded properly on startup: the config-read routine expects that the list of audio codecs contains NERO, and it does not work when it's not there, ending up with "Lame" as default.

[buzzqw]

@Zow
no, it mean that automkv can create m2ts :p

@survivant001
is an error ?

@nanorch
ok, understud, i will check it

BHH

[Zow]

@Zow
no, it mean that automkv can create m2ts :p....

Ah, I was really hopeful for a minute:-)

I think I asked before, but how hard would it be to support converting the HiDef formats to smaller MKVs? (I think I know the answer....)

[Aylwin]

@Zow
no, it mean that automkv can create m2ts :p
Any chance we can someday have m2ts as input?

[buzzqw]

Any chance we can someday have m2ts as input?
as long as directshowsource is able to process m2ts, automkv can handle m2ts

or wait for ffmpegsource to support m2ts

BHH

[survivant001]

@survivant001
is an error ?
BHH

yes, the 2pass as the same quality (low) as the 1th (llook like <EncodingMode>4</EncodingMode> doesn't work)

and another thing

you can add : i4x4 in the profile. (was there in 0.93)

[chappy16775]

While I endlessly wait for these transcodes to finish (and you video experts to wake up!) I started working on the beginners guide to DVD transcoding I mentioned earlier. It's a work in progress and chock full of errors, but for now you can see the progress here. Please dont comment on this guide here but feel free to PM me. This guide should NOT be followed yet as It's about 2 hours old and currently completely inaccurate!

Can't wait! Great effort for us newbies.....

@buzzwq

another suggestion. please add the audio.bat in the temp folder. I got a problem with a audio track. DTS 6 ch that been converted to ac3 2 CH. problem with AC3Filter. I had to reencode the audio.

I used avs2avi to regenerate the audio.ac3.. but it's still 2 CH. I choose Orignal in the audio source listbox. I had to reencode the audio with ripbot264

[buzzqw]

another suggestion. please add the audio.bat in the temp folder

not needed at all

just open mkvmaudio.avs in virtualdub :)

the audio file will be created in virtualdub folder

Hi,

Let me start by saying thanks for creating a great program. I've been using AutoMKV without hassle for converting 25fps HDTV to mkv and xvid. Does a great job from 1080i to both to 720p mkv and 576p anamorphic xvid.

But I'm having some problems with converting a movie. It's a bit of a long story...

I have a DTV recording that's 50fps 576p anamorphic that I want to convert to a 25fps 576p anamorphic xvid. I can't seem to get AutoMKV to respect the "Change FPS" setting, so all my attempts to use AutoMKV result in a 50fps movie.

In 0.93 I can convert to a 50fps 576p anamorphic xvid. If I convertfps to 25,1 it gets to Virtualdub and says "cannot open movie.avi" and when I look in the temp directory "movie.avi" isn't there.

In 0.95b, anamorphic encoding seems to be broken. In the PAR pulldown there are only two options: AUTO, and EditMe. In 0.95b, the encoding gets all the way to the end, but I end up with a 50fps 576p 4x3 xvid :(

So I ended up converting the source to a 25fps 1024x576 xvid in AutoGK, with the intent to then convert that to a 25fps 720x576 anamorphic xvid in AutoMKV.

This worked really well for one movie, but the other didn't work. Instead of a 720Mb file I have a 57.2Mb file. It plays the first few seconds ok and then the video stream becomes black with a notice along the top:
"CAVIStreamSynth: SYstem exception - Access Violation at 0x0, reading from 0x0"

I've tried 3 times to encode it with the same thing every time. Any ideas as to what's happening?

Here's the log:

In 0.95b, anamorphic encoding seems to be broken. In the PAR pulldown there are only two options: AUTO, and EditMe. In 0.95b, the encoding gets all the way to the end, but I end up with a 50fps 576p 4x3 xvid :(
What happens if you set Force Muxing DAR to 16:9 (default is Automatic)? I've had to do this when converting anamorphic DV AVI files from my old videocam.

@Kretin

Hi Kretin and Welcome to the forum

I have a DTV recording that's 50fps 576p anamorphic that I want to convert to a 25fps 576p anamorphic xvid. I can't seem to get AutoMKV to respect the "Change FPS" setting, so all my attempts to use AutoMKV result in a 50fps movie.

the changefps issue is fixed in 0.95c BUT please try this build http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMKV095d.exe
and post the log!

BHH

[survivant001]

not needed at all

just open mkvmaudio.avs in virtualdub :)

the audio file will be created in virtualdub folder

BHH

I didn't know.

but a problem is still there.

DTS 6ch -> AC3 2 CH (instead of 6)

Thanks very much buzzqw. I tried it in 0.95d but no luck :( Result was a 50fps 720x576 4x3 xvid.

I set resolution to Original, checked Anamorphic Encoding, left Force PAR in avs as "AUTO".

I set Change FPS to "ConvertFPS - 25,1"

I haven't tried that, I thought it was just for mkv. I'd only used the setting in "Aspect Ratio Options". I'll give it a go...

Thanks Aylwin, that worked a charm. I'm very happy I can use 0.95 to encode anamorphic :)

But still have the fps problem, and the partial encode mystery... which won't be a problem I guess if I can get the fps right :)

Update: Aaargh!?! When I set ChangeFPS to ConvertFPS 25,1 it makes it ignore the Force Muxing DAR setting and ignores changefps so I still get 50 fps 4x3 :(

I'm loving this great prog but I cannot see where I can manually set the audio delay? I used to be able to do that in MeGUI during the muxing for example when the audio was out of sync.

Thanks

Yes. Error message is:

Unfortunately some movies have bad audio delay (for some reason the delay reported by DGindex is way off) so I have to fix manually. Is there no way to do this in AutoMKV?

Thanks

[Taddeusz]

I've mentioned this a couple times. It has a problem with VOB's where the audio and video have different PTS times, meaning there is actually a built-in delay in the VOB itself. Handbrake has no problem with those VOB's.

@chappy16775

strange audio delay (usally very large) are often due to bad ripping...

i suggest to hand made the d2v but not starting from first second, but just hit some time the > button to skip first gops. Then do the d2v, you will notice that audio delay will be correct

.. you can also try to set in advanced settings Use DelayCut

@Taddeusz
sorry, but handbrake use ffmpeg and automkv use the dgindex/avisynth combo.. so there isn't any similiarities

bad pts could be cause by bad muxing (often after a cut/remux) and btw automkv cannot know if vob have problems

if you like handbrake (an excellent application) you could try with automen or the ffmepg counterpart AutoFF

Not sure I'd go so far as to call it a bad PTS. It's just the way the studio mixed it. It shouldn't be an assumption that the video and audio are going to have the same PTS. DVD Decrypter produces a file with a listing of PTS and delay values. It should be a simple matter to use that information or extract the delay information from the VOB and use it to set the audio delay during mux.

[buzzqw]

many and more users don't use dvddrypter..

have you tried with suggestion i give to chappy16775 ?

What I want from a conversion program such as AutoMKV is a one-stop-shop. The less I have to do the better. While I understand there will be a difficult movie from time to time I don't want to have to pre or post process movies in order for them to come out properly. It should work flawlessly most of the time. Which honestly AutoMKV does.

AutoMKV could be so much better if it would do more to take into account VOB PTS delays. Sure, a properly edited movie is going to have the same PTS delays for all streams but not all movies are properly edited. It shouldn't be assumed that they are.

here the 2 bugs in 0.95c :

#1 - the profile ps3 isn't right. the --me should be umh for the second pass. and for the first pass if FIRST PASS HQ is selected.

here others things to change to the profile

look like 9000 is not enough for action movie and anime
<VBVBufferSize>14000</VBVBufferSize>
<VBVMaxBitrate>26000</VBVMaxBitrate>

the PS3 support this
<I4x4mv>true</I4x4mv>

it's for the 2th pass
<me-prepass>true</me-prepass>

re-install a more recent versione of avisynth, and retry :)
Thanks Buzzqw.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of AVISynth (2.5.8), and I still get the same thing:
BREAK ! FILE NOT SUPPORTED ! LAST TRY WITH FFMPEG!

Does AutoMKV require AVISynth to be installed in a particular directory?

[BlackDog21]

I have a wide screen source. Using the suggestions here, I did a run using Original width, no resize filter, Anamorphic Encoding checked. I also did another run with Force Muxing set to 16:9.

Both yielded the same results. AVInaptic reports:
Resolution: 720/480
Frame aspect ration: 3:2 = 1.5
Pixel aspect ratio: 40:33 = 1.212121
Display aspect ratio: 20:11 = 1.818181

Playing movie through WMP on my widescreen monitor shows minor black bars top and bottom, but about an inch or so black bar on left and right. I'd expect the bars top and bottom but not the left and right. Any way to get rid of those so it displays like the original source?

[ZoloftWorks]

first and foremost, thank you for this absolutely wonderful ap.

I just upgraded today from .92 to .95, and I've noticed that it now replaces . in file names with _ Is there any way to tweak a setting somewhere to leave the periods, which I greatly prefer to the underscores?

Thanks!

@Taddeusz

do you know any utility able to print pts timestamp on generic mpeg2 files ?

@survivant001
attention:
DirectShowSource("movie.DTS.x264-SZ.mkv",fps=23.976044,convertfps=true,video=false)
audio=NicDTSSource("C:\temp\RipBot264temp\job1\audio.2.dts")

the first is automkv, the second is ripbot264
on mkv source automkv will trigger directshowsource, seems that ripbot264 extract the audio tracks and process with nocdtssource (as automkv would do on dts tracks)

since automkv rely on dss for mkv, check your ffdshow/ac3filter, MOST probably is set to output STEREO not 5.1 audio

@kretin

something is going wrong with your avisynth setup. here is all ok

i can only suggest to deinstall avisynth, check your c:\windows\system32 folder and remove avisynth.dll, delete your c:\program files\avisynth2.5 folder

reboot and then reinstall avisynth and reboot again.

as last change try selecting ConvertFPS BUT on fps write 25000,1000

@BlackDog21

have you tried with 0.95D ?

@ZoloftWorks

i have forced this because both virtualdub AND mp4box could crash if too much dots are present. Even more it could "confuse" automkv on correct extension.

BHH

[ZoloftWorks]

thank you for the fast reply! I will simply change them back myself after completion! Again, brilliant ap!

exactly what I tought at first. but it really set to 5.1.. in ac3filter main window.. OUTPUT : AS IS. If I open ac3filter when the movie is playing.. I really see all the channels.

I'm down to one question left before I start converting my DVD's. This was brought up by a previous reply and got me thinking.

All I want to do is cut the horizontal black bars on widescreen (2.35, etc.) movies. Here are the choices as I see it. I'm in NTSC land.

* If I don't choose anamorphic, a lot of resizing will be done and of course the resizing algorithm comes into play.
* If I choose anamorphic with "original" in the set width, then no resizing filter is needed (set to NONE) and it encodes the black bars in the original DVD.
* If I choose anamorphic with "720" or "autocrop" in the set width, I have to choose a Resize filter. SimpleResize is the default.

My problem is with the last choice. There is a 6-14% size difference between SimpleResize and Spline36. Because of that difference, I assume the filter is resizing the whole DVD, even if I only want to cut the black bars. I'm not sure if this is because of MOD16 requirements or I'm doing something wrong. Visually I can't tell the difference, but I only briefly compared on a 19" monitor.

Question 1: What is the proper way, if possible at all, to cut the black bars from a DVD without any resize filter changing the original movie?

Question 2: If question 1 is not possible, is the general consensus that spline36 or lanczos is better than SimpleResize for large (50"+) size HDTV's? Or does it matter?

Use manual crop (not crop and resize), THEN in resizer set NONE

Robert, if you find out the answer let me know. Buzzqw is probably right but I did not get a chance to try manual cropping this weekend as we were away for the holiday.

I'll try and do some testing tonight when I get off work if you don't get a chance first. Let me know what you find out and I'll update the guide.

[BlackDog21]

@BlackDog21

Yes. The results I posted were from .95D.

[valnar]

BHH

I tried this but I'm not sure I understand how it works. If I choose to manual crop my movie at the top and bottom - 54 & 60 in this case, do I then take the 480 height and minus 114 from it? That gives me 366 which is MOD2, so I have to go to 368 which is MOD16. If I don't do this, the height stays at 480.

If I check "Encode to Anamorph", I get a 656x368 resolution chosen for me with an AR error of 30.792%. If I check "Encode to non Anamorph", it's 864x368 and an appropriate AR error within 1%. However, the whole point of this exercise is to keep anamorphic and do NO resizing.

What am I understanding wrong?
