here the changelog to 0.95

0.95 05/02/2007 Full Package
ADDED: Movie name is now based on folder name (in case of ifo input) (suggestion by AMED)
ADDED: Possibility to specify only the crop values and not the width and height (suggestion by Honeyko)
ADDED: "Don't Mux But Save Temp Folder" checking this option will force AutoMKV to rename temp folder (based on movie name) and to not mux
ADDED: In case of MP4 container and AC3 Audio now AutoMKV will not quit. It will prompt a message about not able to mux and will move the temp folder
ADDED: Now FFmpeg Encoding take account of Manual Crop&Resize and Manual Crop and Specify Bitrate. In this way AutoMKV can be instructed to do near all FFmpeg Encoding
ADDED: Colored crop value. Green = OK, Red = Wrong
ADDED: Colored Manual Width and Height Value, Green = OK, Blu = not so well , Red = Wrong
ADDED: Option to add "--engage keep_bitstream_ar_info" to muxing command line
ADDED: Tips! If you don't want tips just delete the file tips.txt
ADDED: Support for M2TS container using excellent tsMuxeR. I suggest to use PS3_XboX360 profile (have nal-hrd/aud enabled)
FIXED: When reopening CQ TUNE the previus values where rounded up (thanks to Honeyko)
FIXED: On d2v input, when checking Manual Crop and Resize will show correct value on Width and Height
FIXED: When encoding is running is no more possible to add job in queue
FIXED: Now Value of Crop and Width/height are greyed till user click on "Use Manual Crop/Resize" or "Manual Crop" (suggestion by Honeyko)
FIXED: Now when pressing Start Queue, the button "Start Queue" will be disabled (suggestion by Honeyko)
FIXED: In case of triggered ffmpeg encoding (avi/xvid) now AutoMKV wil correctly mux the final file (thanks to Honeyko)
FIXED: Now AutoMKV wil rename automatically "movie name" contain illegal character like|!<>"?\/.
FIXED: Even on Avi muxing AutoMKV will check for already existing file destination. In this case will create a muxed file starting with numbers_movie name.avi (thanks to Honeyko)
FIXED: On Avi muxing the original audio is no more muxed (thanks to ryc0203)
FIXED: Manual Crop and Resize will disable Width on load settings (thanks to Honeyko)
FIXED: Force Mux Height and Width are remebered on qeque
FIXED: Quality Encoding will now trigger on ffmpeg encoding a quality encoding too
FIXED: Removed some pop up windows
FIXED: Usage of ITU and Anamorphic encoding (a BIG thanks to Valnar AND SeeMoreDigital)
FIXED: Anamorphic on muxing (thanks to Zacoz)
FIXED: Some issues using FFmpegSource
FIXED: Some issues using PreProcess to LossLess
FIXED: Reduced the number of "triggering" list. Now clicking on audio, video profile, container, codec AND not changing the value will not trigger AutoMKV routines
FIXED: DSS x A/V will force AutoMKV to use DirectShowSource for encoding both audio and video
FIXED: DSS x Audio will force AutoMKV to use DirectShowSource for encoding only audio (before will trigger even video)
FIXED: Whenever "Manual Resize / Crop" is checked, AutoMKV will determine if there is already a setting for Resize Filter other than NONE. If it is NONE, then it will be changed to SimpleResize(neutral soft). (suggestion by Honeyko)
FIXED: When checking "Specify Quality" the encoding status window will now display the selected CQ/CRF value (thanks to Honeyko)
FIXED: When checking Manual Crop&Resize the value of width specifyed in profile are ignored
FIXED: Deinterlacer Analysis is now minimized
FIXED: Some Layout in GUI, most cosmetic
FIXED: Some layout on log
UPDATE: FFmpegSource 1.14, ColorMatrix 2.3, TIVTC 1.0.5, FFmpeg r11562,Mp4Box 11/01/2008, X264 rev 736 (AQ 0.48, 2pass vbv, aud/nal-hrd) PS3_41.xml profile renamed to PS3_XBOX360.xml and lowred the qpmin to 5, Xbox.xml profile, oggenc2.84-aoTuVb5-generic.zip
UPDATE: Italian translation
DELETE: Some duplicate x264 profile (heritage of compatibility with Megui)
CHANGED: When selecting "Don't care about size" AutoMKV will not do anything, just on status bar "Don't use Automatic Width. It's a waste of time with Unlimited File Size."
CHANGED: On Zune profile all audio is now WMAPRO.
CHANGED: How AutoMKV will compute Height. Now the calculus are very precise and corrected to AR (i hope...)
CHANGED: AutoMKV can now handle delay audio in several ways. The default is to use DelayAudio in Soundout (as MeGeui) (AutoMKV will silently switch to Fix in Mux if audio is "copy original") (a precius suggestion by valnar). Or can Use DelayCut or can fix the delay in mux (as AutoGK)
CHANGED: In case of broken audio encoding AutoMKV will not try to use SoundOut but will pipe from ffmpeg to audio encoder. Due to inability of many encoders and bugs of FFmpeg.exe, AutoMKV will trigger a directly encoding made by FFmpeg

thanks to all testers!

Yeah! New Thread!

(Flops on the rug in front of the fireplace like a big hound-dog.)

Suggestion: Lose the included DVDdecrypter. That app is old and discontinued; and anybody who's made there way here likely already has it and several competitors anyway. Just a link to an existing mirror will save your site DL bandwidth.

if i remove dvddecrypter i remove the direct dvd encoding... not a good idea (for many users)

Suggestion: It's high time for a big, fat list of what every profile, resize filter and custom matrix does. (Half of them weirdly-named things I can't find with a Google search, and of those I do, too many point to 3yo threads.)

do you propose yourself ? :D

yep.. i know.. but it's a very big job...

(or i code bugs.. or do documentation... or get a life...)

Thanks buzzqw :) Nice with the tips :cool:

Unfortunately I seem to have found a bug when using ChangeFPS.

I'm using a 50 fps HDTV source (720 x 576 PAL) demuxed into m2v & ac3. With 0.93a I select "ChangeFPS" and "25,1" on the Advanced Profiles Editing tab, and all it good - 25fps output.

With 0.95 I get an autoMKV with video running at 50fps and audio playing at equivalent of 25fps.

Checking the logs and it seems to be related to the muxing command generated:

AutoMKV 0.93a
20:34:54 "E:\AutoMKV\exe\matroska\mkvmerge.exe" -o "D:\Capture\temp\test93a.mkv" --track-name -1:"test93a" --aspect-ratio 1:1.805437 "D:\Capture\temp\movie.mp4" --language -1:und --default-track -1:yes "D:\Capture\temp\audio.mp4" --title "Done with AutoMKV 0.93a http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=854221 "

When i changed --default-duration 0:50000/1000fps to --default-duration 0:25000/1000fps the audio and video were back in sync at 25fps.

Following on from 0.93a thread...

I know users might want to do other things (in my case i dont). The problem is because even when automkv is doing nothing (i.e. x264.exe is encoding) its using 50% cpu time and the remaining cpu time goes to 264. Manual intervention fixes this put running encoder at slightly higher priority then automkv but still lower than "normal" priority.

Given that automkv does no (cpu based) hard work and the brute encoding happens in external apps, then running automkv in lowest priority and every launched app in slightly higher priority (but still less than "NORMAL") should make no difference to people who want to still use their PC but will fix this bug.

Does that make sense?

edit:

posting here as 0.93a thread is not for new posts allowed.

Also not tried new version but i believe its the same so still posting here.

@zacoz

thanks , fixed!

FIXED: On Muxing the changefps parameter was ignored (thanks to zacoz)

@Amir

The problem is because even when automkv is doing nothing (i.e. x264.exe is encoding) its using 50% cpu

disable in advanced profile editing the "Show Enc. Stat"

and about priority.. i prefer all at idle, but as usually i am open to motivated suggestion :)

Strange, I don't think I've ever seen this with any version of AutoMKV I've used. While x264 is running AutoMKV sits at 0-1% CPU. It might increase slightly during transition stages (i.e. audio encoding finishes then starts video encoding) but then drops back down. If I'm not using anything else then x264 will run at 98-99% and this is on a dual core system (same as on my old single core).

I think the post above hits the nail on the head. What I can say is when its happening the updates to the stats windows appear to be "flickering" almost like there is not enough CPU cycles available to update the window. I'm going to try the above and see if it helps. Unsure why no one else seems to have the problem.

@buzzqw
i got an error in directshowsource
may be for
movie = directshowsource("C:\t\p-sw04.rmvb",fps=25,000000,convertfps=true,audio=false)

fps should be "fps=25.000000" and not "fps=25,000000"
it is afected for windows regional configuration?
in spanish decimal point is "," not "."

buzzqw

5th February 2008, 17:29

maybe it's the windows regional configuration

could you try setting "." as decimal separator ?

@buzzqw: I was wondering if your program supports batch. Converting a bunch of avi at a set width resolution. Nice program.

Edit: Oops just read about the batch and resolution features at the wiki ); very nice

Strange, I don't think I've ever seen this with any version of AutoMKV I've used. While x264 is running AutoMKV sits at 0-1% CPU. It might increase slightly during transition stages (i.e. audio encoding finishes then starts video encoding) but then drops back down. If I'm not using anything else then x264 will run at 98-99% and this is on a dual core system (same as on my old single core).

I have a couple times, always associated with some component crashing, and that component's CPU load then "magically" transfering to AutoMKV in the Task Manager.

i posted with this problem a few months ago but now i have a new computer downloaded the latest mkv release but when i try to encode to any container it says no crf found please download latest build of x264 i do that but still it says the same thing

im really getting frustrated with not being able to use automkv i was using it before the latest release and it used to work fine . with the previous release :confused:

ANNOYANCE:

Note the difference between b21 and 95a:

The first ecode is XviD CRF/CQ 2.75, the second drops CQ to 2.5 -- but the line doesn't show up in the job-list it the previously place. It eventually appears, but not until the encoding job starts...which amounts to an annoying wait until after DGindex is finished.

i posted with this problem a few months ago

worked for me once but when i changed computers and re downloaded it the problems started and im on a different computer yet again its been 4 months sinc ei last got it to work for me but now i have a new computer downloaded the latest mkv release but when i try to encode to any container it says no crf found please download latest build of x264 i do that but still it says the same thing

but ya this problem only happens when i hit encode and go through the index process then it hits me

im really getting frustrated with not being able to use automkv i was using it before the latest release and it used to work fine . with the previous release
when it gives me that message the program closes

i really prefer this program for its ease of use and allows you to select ifo files and all subtitles as and more then one audio stream no other program does the job so well

@Dante.Xaiver

:logfile:

@Honeyko

Specify Quality is to use with oll profile BUT constant quality... since Constant Quality is ALREADY a CQ encoding.

Specify Quality will apply to the profile selected the -CQ /-CRF parameter.. so you can use the Insane Slow with a cq/crf encoding

@survivant001

thanks i will look what will trigger it
and ... look on \exe\matroska folder

Suggestion: change the name of this thread to conform to M/D/Y dating instead of D/M/Y.

(I was looking at that going "May 2, '08....huh?")

Thing is that if it was M/D/Y then I'd be looking at it saying "2nd May 2008 ... Huh ?"

According to my Windows regional settings, only 6 out of 115 of the Language/Country options use M/D/Y and Italy isn't one of them, so I wouldn't hold my breath Honeyko :helpful:

So does that mean M/D/Y is actual non conforming :sly: :D

Apparent Bug (or not yet developed functionality)

When adding a job that includes a "changefps" command to the queue the changefps isn't saved in the queuex.ini file and thus isn't activated when it comes to run that job in the queue.

It seems that the same was true of 0.93, so I mustn't have queued such a job before or else it's a result of this time the last job I added to the queue not having a "changefps" command which essentially meant the changefps command wasn't there for each job as they ran. Does this make sense ?

Don't you love how we find these things after you get out of beta - sorry.

@buzzqw
this is a follow-up / correction on my previous post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1096164#post1096164)

(1) audio encoding fix / workaround with ffmpeg piping:
I am now almost sure that there is actually no bug, just sometimes a long wait before the regular encoding starts generating the encoded audio file. This would explain:
- why I don't have any problem when running the script manually (but definitely a delay before the encoded audio file starts to grow: I timed 45sec for a 1 hour movie)
- and why once in a while the encoding works ok.
Maybe Windows 2003 behaves differently in that respect than other OS flavors?

(2) wrong encoded audio length:
That bug is with me! At least partly: it works fine for OOG now that I installed ffdshow (with both v0.95beta21 and v0.95a) ... Okay, you did give a big fat warning and I should :readguid:. Sorry about that.
For MP3/Lame encoding I still get almost double the length, so I'm not clear what is going on. Any suggestion?

@ALL
Anybody else out there using Windows 2003? If so, what version exactly and do you experience the same audio encoding delays / failure (prior to v0.95) ?
I'm trying to figure out if I have a problem with my install or if this is a a general 'feature'....

buzzqw

6th February 2008, 10:16

thanks zacoz i will check

EDIT: @nanorch
my developing pc is a win2003 SR2..

for lame: here is correct! :o

Suggestion for rewording on the first post to make it a bit clearer what the dependencies are:

BIG FAT WARNING (i.e. DEPENDENCIES)

Compulsory:
A recent build of AviSynth 2.5.7 http://downloads.sourceforge.net/avi...0&big_mirror=0
The XviD Koepi Build http://www.free-codecs.com/download_...hp?d=1312&s=52 , is needed for the YV12 Decoder!
FFdshow as decoder! http://downloads.sourceforge.net/ffd...4&big_mirror=0

Optional:
For use NERO AAC you must put your copy of NeroAacEnc.exe (grab it here http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/...tal_Audio.html) into \exe\besweet folder
Haali Media Spitter (for MKV input) http://haali.cs.msu.ru/mkv/MatroskaSplitter.exe

for warpsharp plugin read this: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=124585 mirror here

If you have any problem with playback (or render issue) download and install Combined Community Codec Pack

Just move any of the compulsory ones down to Optional if I've gotten it wrong - they seemed to me to be the ones people would be hard pressed to do without.

I thinkg you forgot the add the m2ts overhead in your bitrate calculation. I obtain a 4.9 file instead of DVD5.

you should generate a mux.bat file for the m2ts output. I'll edit the xpass command line, and need to remux it after that

TWO new features requested

#1 - audio CUT (if the audio is longer than the video track)
#2 - save the output of the x264 encoding process. I'll like to have the PRNC and SIMM statistics at the end.

AutoMKV has some great x264 profiles, but all of them are for setting a filesize. I really don't understand why someone would want to hit a specific filesize for an iPod but I guess they do.

I know how to open on of these profiles, go to the advanced tab and set a decode for a specific crf rate, but I really want to do is make myself a iPod_CRF_22 profile that I can load everytime. But, AutoMKV will not let me make modifications to a profile and save it as a new profile, like MeGui does (I don't think).

So are there some general instructions on how to modify a profile, with an editor, to make it a constant quality profile?

buzzqw

select the Ipod profile, then go in advanced settings , check specify quality, select 72, then save setting

compare to a .264 + ac3 the m2ts add a 6% overhead.

I had a discution with the Atak_Snajpera and that was the conclusion.

Hi buzzqw,

I am happy to report that this version stilll works well with WINE + Linux (aside from the usual quirks). Perhaps I am the only one who uses AutoMKV this way, but I am happy none the less. :thanks:

On another note, when encoding x264 + ogg + mkv, 0.95a seems to fix the slight audio sync problems I was running into in previous versions. What did you do to fix this?

Thanks,

piping pcm_s16le (or any pcm_xxx) from ffmpeg to oggenc was broken.. (don't know why) so i "bypass" it by feeding oggenc with an uncompressed flac stream (so it's lossless) and since ogg_enc support flac input.. the ogg problem is fixed :) :p

On some movies, I never get a finished mkv, but instead, when AutoMKV is done, I get a Temp file (I've set it to delete the Temp file when finished.)

It consistently happens on two movies, both are subtitled, if this matters.

I have tried selcting either VIDEO_TS.IFO, or VTS_01_0.IFO. If I try VTS_01_1.VOB, then it can't find the subtitles, and the audio track selection looks a bit weird.

I am ripping to an attached USB drive (ripping to my NAS hasn't worked since a couple versions ago.)

@Zow

without the temp folder (for manual running the muxing.bat) it's hard to tell what was wrong

the file was encoded.. but not muxed... the audio was present.. maybe the subs was missing ?

please retry without checking "del temp file"

thanks for your test!

Well some feedback...

I just tried this version and its fine for encoding episodic DVDs, I batched up 4 episodes and all four have been converted!. First time I've been able to do this. Only downside to this is that I had to rip the DVD to disc and then run AutoMKV against it, I think this because AutoMKV writes to that folder, a configurable "temp" folder does not appear to be settable.

Also turning off the stats allowed x264 to run at full speed.

TWO new features requested
#1 - audio CUT (if the audio is longer than the video track)
I don't like this one -- audio is often a couple seconds longer than the video, and merely needs to have its start time adjusted in an external muxing utility.

could you try setting "." as decimal separator ?

I'm sorry to ask you to switch gears, but I'm a total noob on AutoMKV. I have an Mpeg2 file (extracted from a dvr-ms file) with surround sound in it. I'm trying to get it into WMV with 5.1 audio to play in Xbox360 MCE. I've looked in the Wiki and can't find anything on it.

Also, encoded to WMV gives me insanely slow encoding speeds (x0.05), so a 12 minute file took 4 hours. I have a dual core athlon 64 4200+, old but not nearly that bad. I'm I doing something (obvious) wrong?

EDIT: Its a 1280x720 clip, btw, and I'd like to maintain the quality.

6th February 2008, 22:02

@Crono141

First of all Welcome to the Forum!

i bet you have selected an Insane profile.., try with the "2_Pass_Balanced", should be a lot faster and quality wise similar

About audio... sorry but 5.1 is very problematic on wmv.. not due to my application... but to wmcmd.vbs encoder

just set your ac3/audio decoder to output 5.1 16bit audio and .. hope the best!

BHH

Crono141

6th February 2008, 22:10

I did pick insane quality. However, I also picked 2 pass balanced, and had the same effect. The 1st pass ran at about 0.5x, but the second pass ran at .05x. The final output was also garbled noise for video, and 2 channel audio.

Thanks for quick response.

buzzqw

6th February 2008, 22:14

ok.. go for WMV8_2_Pass_VBR and if slow try the WMV7_2_Pass_CBR.
The last MUST be fast! (and not garbled)

I will try with a lower keyint and your new build.

if you find VBV underflow in the x264 output.. you need to restart the encoding with a lower value for the keyint.

Another question: the wiki says the audio string for 5.1 wmv needs to be WMAPRO 160_48_6. However, I can't get the last number to change from _2 to _6. Since this is setting the number of channels, how can I get this to change. The advanced audio options under WMV sound doesn't have a number of channels options.

Also, in the drop down, do I need to pick "original"?

OK, I've encoded with your suggested settings, The encode was much quicker, but I"m still getting garbled video and 2 channel audio.

EDIT: Attached log file.

7th February 2008, 02:07

If you have an avi with AC3 how do you get it to do 5.1 AAC

i select nero and then original but it always is 2.0

Crono141

7th February 2008, 04:46

OK, I finally have some success. I was able to get 6 channel sound (I think, file properties indicate 6 channels) as well as a non-garbled video. I was able to get multichannel surround by using one of the regular profiles. Problem is, second pass still maxed its speed out at .12x (1st pass still about .56x). I used 2 pass better quality. Any of the other profiles (accessible by using the all profiles check box) left me with garbled video, from this particular source.

Problem is, I didn't get the quality I wanted at all. Visible blockiness was abundant. And I don't even want to speculate how long a 2 hour DVD rip would take. I'm going to try again with extreme quality to see if the blockiness decreases.

The method I had used for DVDs was this attached batch file. I don't really know anything about writing code or scripts, but this file always gives me the quality I like from the DVD rip. If someone could tell me how to make a script to match the quality of this batch file, I think I would be very happy. Bitrate is 4 Mbit/s.

Thanks again for all your help!

Hi buzzqw,

I have some feature requests if you don't mind hearing me out:

1. The ability to use custom AVIsynth scripts during the video encode. (This may exist, I just haven't found it.)
2. The ability to use different scripts for each of the first and second passes.

Thanks for all your good work. I haven't had any big problems with AutoMKV 0.95a in Linux yet.

1. The ability to use custom AVIsynth scripts during the video encode. (This may exist, I just haven't found it.)
it's already possible to feed an avs script as input :)

2. The ability to use different scripts for each of the first and second passes.

could you motivate it ? :confused: (just want to learn!)

Thanks for all your good work. I haven't had any big problems with AutoMKV 0.95a in Linux yet.

fyi.. in next mounths i will change pc (i waiting for q9450) and i will VERY PROBABLY move to Linux (i already use it ... but not as primary OS)... so.. automkv will have some hiccup..

BUT purebasic (automkv source code language) is present EVEN on LINUX.. so maybe i will build natively for linux.. and not for win.. but i cannot promise.. (since automkv use several specific windows api.. maybe i must change some behavior)

2. The ability to use different scripts for each of the first and second passes.could you motivate it ? (just want to learn!)

Sure thing. Take a look here:
http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/VFR#encoding_to_vfr_.28mkv.29

There is sometimes content from DVDs that is blended true 30fps and 30fps telecined. When this occurs, any sort of frame matching or "teleciding" applied to the whole video will make some parts jumpy/stutter in varying degrees.

One good example is "Avatar: The last Airbender" DVDs. I was having problems in this thread:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=131779

until someone pointed me to the above AVIsynth page about variable frame rate video that MKVs can handle.

But to use VFR, you have to use a different script for each of the first and second passes during an encoding. Example scripts I finally chose to use only differed by one line:

First pass:
tfm(movie,mode=0,pp=7,mi=40,output="tfm.txt").tdecimate(mode=4,output="stats.txt")

Second pass:
tfm(movie,mode=0,pp=7).tdecimate(mode=5,hybrid=2,dupThresh=1.0,input="stats.txt",tfmin="tfm.txt",mkvout="timecodes.txt")

Everything else in the scripts was identical.

This is why I ask for the ability to use different scripts for each pass. Did I motivate you? :)

Thanks once again,
Z

Tirade

7th February 2008, 19:36

OK, I just started using AutoMKV last night and so far so good!

Ive done some test clips and even a DVD, but before I do a batch convert of all 300 movies I wanted to verify some things.

Source - 300 DVD's ripped to individual folders with VIDEO_TS subfolder (VOB's)

Output - Another local drive

My goal is simple.

I want to reduce each DVD as small as possible without losing "noticeable" quality. I realize noticeable quality is subjective and that there is no perfect setting.

Couple of questions:

1. What is a good estimate in size reduction before image quality usually begins to drop off? Is it generally possible to transcode DVD down to 50% of its original size w/o easily noticeable quality loss? I would be happy with 50%, but smaller is better, but not at the expense of poor video quality.

2. I have done nothing but read read read for the last 72 hours and there is a LOT to absorb. From what I can gather though the following is true:

CQ Lossless would be pointless in my situation because my source is lossy. Encoding time is not important and I do not have any bitrate restrictions, so ideally CQ CRF profile with AQ strength 5 (.5) and AQ Sens. 13 should provide a good quality MP4 transcode?

So my remaining question is where do I specify the CQ factor?

I see the box for Specify Quality, but I read on the previous page that Specify Quality is not needed for CQ profile because it is already CQ. How do I tell what the default CQ number is? Also what is the suggested number for CQ to be set at? I see the default is 75 if you check the box, but I believe this wont give me much size reduction. Ive seen mention of using 72 as well.

This is my command line

--pass 1 --crf 18 --stats "C:\Temp\HTPC\Utils\AutoMKV095_NORIP\.stats" --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --direct auto --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --level 4.1 --weightb --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8,p4x4 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --aq-strength 0.50 --aq-sensitivity 13 --sar 1:1

My final questions (sorry so many) is:

Do I need to do high quality 1st pass with CRF?

and

My monitor is a 52" TV, desktop resolution is 1920X1080. Some of my movies are 2:35 and some are 1:85. What is the correct crop setting to make each of these properly fill the screen without black lines. Is this even possible? Maybe I should just use ffdshow to resize the movie as it is being played.

This is my command line

--pass 1 --crf 18 --stats "C:\Temp\HTPC\Utils\AutoMKV095_NORIP\.stats" --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --direct auto --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --level 4.1 --weightb --b-pyramid --b-rdo --bime --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8,p4x4 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --aq-strength 0.50 --aq-sensitivity 13 --sar 1:1

Since you are going to go through the trouble to reencode your DVD's, might I make a suggestion? Two changes to make it more DXVA or hardware player compatible.

Remove analyse p4x4
Don't use --b-pyramid

And with a DVD source, you could also lower your level to 3.1.

@survivant001

actually the keyint is 300 ... what value you suggest ?

I'll come back to you for that. I'm doing tests, and I think it's a combinaison of keyint and vbv..

and you should put a popup : "vbv buffer underflow detected in the encoding process" something meanfull.

the output movie will play on a PC and ps3 (but only using streaming).. but won't be a valid bluray or avchd (won't be able to authorize it)

keep you inform

@Tirade

little suggestion: select the 2 pass balanced, then go in advanced settings and set quality to 80 (is crf 20)

you wil encode with a good profile with but in 1 pass

First Ajax_Undone.... could you add the Haali spliter into the setup you created? It is needed if your source is MKV which mine are as well as many others reencoding for the 360.

And I think the 6 channel issue I had is fixed. but I wont know till it is done.

And Buzzqw... when it decodes the x264 file in the MKV and when encoding the file to Xvid the stats move really fast then pause for five or so seconds then move again. Is there something wrong, should the stats always be moving or is that pause normal??

Hi, i'm using the Xbox 360 profile but my PC takes AGES to encode 264, and with the XVid i get a good quality and a fast encode but i get some "breaks" wen playing the file, what can a tweak in the fast encode xvid profile to prevent this from happening?

what do you mean by "break" ?? missing parts like the whole movie is not there or the video pauses but the sound keeps playing then it goes all back to normal?

1. What is a good estimate in size reduction before image quality usually begins to drop off? Is it generally possible to transcode DVD down to 50% of its original size w/o easily noticeable quality loss? I would be happy with 50%, but smaller is better, but not at the expense of poor video quality.

I dunno about h264, but when I used WVC1 with 5.1 audio, I was able to get nice quality DVD rips at around 2 to 3 gig each, depending on movie length (3 gigs were LotR special editions)

I'm getting 2.5GB 720P movies with no noticeable loss and 5.1 surround with Xvid so a DVD 480P being 2-3 is really bad for WMV. And I mean it is hard to spot any quality loss going from a 7gig MKV(H264 1080P) source.

Also I have many DVD backups with 5.1 at 480P(no resizing) at 1.7gig and they look every bit as good as the original DVD.

Chrono,
What profile/settings are you using for your WMV encodes?

Crono141

7th February 2008, 22:25

This was done using a different method than AutoMKV. There's a batch file I posted (awaiting approval) that outlines the process. I realize that 2-3 gig is bad, but I've never been any good at getting high quality DVD rips quickly at low disk space usage.

On the other hand, I like my rips to be virtually indistinguishable from the native DVD. Its a reason I'm interested in AutoMKV. If it can get me an Xbox360 Media Center Extender compatible DVD rip at a fraction of the speed (old method took 8 hours per DVD) and a fraction of the disc space, I'll be very happy.

I use xvid through the vids part of the 360, I hate the media extender stuff, there is to much crap to wade through all I want is a file browser so I can click on my movie, no need for a picture of it or info, I know what I want to watch. Plus space is a cencern and pipping vids through a wireless G setup, so the smaller the better.

Chrono,
Thanks for the reply, I saw the file. I've done a few WMV encodes for the same reason.....XBox/Media Center. I've used AutoMKV with Constant Quality profile and set CQ to 95. Also set audio to 5.1. Gotten some decent encodes out of it on some of my movies with about 1 to 1.5GB files for a 2 hour movie. I thought maybe you were using some other settings that I could play around with.

I'll try your above suggestions and come back and let you know how things go.

@survivant001

actually the keyint is 300 ... what value you suggest ?

@Crono141

attachment need to be approved.. post it in [code] tag

.. and i will try the WMV8_1_Pass_CBR BUT in advanced settings check "Specify Quality" and set it to 95%

in this way should be fast and .. at 95% of max quality

@bigggt

avi is processed via directshowsource, you need to set your audio decoder (ffdshow or ac3filter) to output 5.1 16bit audio

BHH

OK, I've found another problem. If I try to use WMV8, I don't get surround sound. The command line shows the _2 instead of the _6, even if I choose "WMAPRO" in the advanced options. Is this a bug, or is there something in the profile that determines what kind of audio gets encoded?

I"m gonna try WVC1 1pass at 95 quality, and see how that treats me.

what do you mean by "break" ?? missing parts like the whole movie is not there or the video pauses but the sound keeps playing then it goes all back to normal?

The video slows down for less then a second but the audio keeps playing.

WMV encoding is really a messy. Point.

i hope to drop wmvcmd.vbs for vide encoding and use avs2afs (the new build from nic)

do you know a command line muxer for wmaudii + wmvideo-> wmv

I've noticed a considerable difference in output video (file) size between 0.95beta21 and 0.95a when using the constant_quality.xml profile.

Example being 5000 frames of an *.m2v source I've just tested (no audio).
With 0.95beta21 the video comes out at 47,939,256 bytes
With 0.95a the video comes out at 75,696,888 bytes

I'm seeing this same sort of difference in full encodes also. The x264 command line seems to be the same so I can't work out why it's happening.

Anyone else able to replicate this behaviour?

... an idea... the AQ patch

i suppose the AQ is triggered, please try settings in advanced profile editing set aq strenght to 0 (zero)

thanks!

BHH

P.S. what about quality ?

zacoz

8th February 2008, 15:46

Set aq strength at 0 but with no effect, 0.95a still comes out larger (same as without aq strength set). Do I need to set both aq strength and aq sensitivity, as I can't see any aq setting added into the command line?

Will test some more along that line in the morning. I need to get some sleep or I'll fall asleep at the keyboard. :eek:

P.S. Great difficulty seeing the difference between the 0.95beta21 and 0.95a encode, and couldn't pick one being better than the other. Surprising I thought considering the % size difference between them.

The video slows down for less then a second but the audio keeps playing.

I am having the same issue, and it is always at the same places in the movie. At first I thought it was buffer issue, but now that I have a Xvid at less than 5000Kbs it still hesitates in the same place. So right now I am back to square one trying to figure out why a 1280x544 movie at 5kbs struggles to play on a system that is powerful enough to play a X264 file at 10k. Hell I would use the X264 file directly, but my issue is that I want 5.1 and on the 360 the only codecs that allow 5.1 is Xvid and WMV and I hate encoding anything in WMV the file size if frign HUGE compared to Xvid. I'm doing another movie right now, but so far all of my MKV movies that I am converting to Xvid have had this issue, but only on the 360, the PC plays them perfectly.

Same here, i thought it was the problem with 5k plus bitrate but after i limited i get the same problem...

(Surveying the wreckage of the last two pages...)

Like the man from Arkansas said, but really meaning it, "I feel your pain". -- And it's chiefly why I've stopped even messing with (h/x)264 altogether for at least the time being.

A video project is like a car that needs fixing, and codecs are like toolboxes, and I'm a semi-competent backyard mechanic. XviD is a toolbox with ten tools in it, some of which will do the very well*, some more which will do it half-ass, and the rest that aren't appropriate. OTOH, x264 is a toolbox with a thousand tools in it, a couple of which work insanely great and better than the best xvid tool, some more that do as well, and about 950 tools that are inappropriate for your particular project's needs.

-- meaning, if you're a putterer, you're going to waste a LOT, LOT, LOT more time fumbling around in 264 before stumbling upon the right combination. And it'll take you a LOT, LOT, LOT more time waiting until you know that your pin totally missed getting the tail on the donkey.

(* LEM filter + Didees SixOfNine-HVS.cqm custom matrix really clean up old messy films. The greatest appeal of AutoMKV is that it's the only GUI shell that permits using those great processors with XviD, and also which permits MOD2 (or "no resizing at all if you don't want resizing") XviD encoding.)

SUGGESTION: Make those two default on AutoMKV if the user selects XviD encoding, and selects one-pass high performance or constant-quality. -- LEM is so much better than plain ordinary removegrain(2) on "dirty" video that it isn't silly; and Didees blows Jawor(1CD) away for quality when output size isn't a concern. LEM+Didees clean so much grain out of old movies that they compress better*, meaning I can apply CQ2.5 and get a better-looking file of about the same size as that made with CQ2.75 or even CQ3 with removegrain(2) and AUTO for cust. matrix.

(*Example: "Dragonslayer", shot without a deep-focus lens in Scotland; one of the few films made in the last thirty years without artificial lighting in a single scene. There is wafting smoke, hazy mist or billowing clouds in virtually every frame from beginning to end, and backgrounds are blurry. A couple transfers later to DVD, and it's a total "grain blizzard". In dark scenes with fire, there's literally more grain in the frame than original film. With this, LEM+Didees produced output video which was noticeably better that the source!)

The problem is what you suspected...

AQ is being used even when set to 0 or when turned off.

I did 2 rips, 1 with AQ set at .5/13 and the other with no AQ. The resulting file size is identical.

so i've been encoding these files via making the .d2v files manually with dgindex because automkv wont recognise the .ifo either ripped or with the inbuilt ripper, and been ripping the subs with subrip (which is better having a .srt vs .idx/.vob anyways). I'm getting excellent video/audio results, which is a definate step up from my old basic virtualdubmod/xvid/azid/normalize/lame archives.

After using this prog I couldnt go back to .avi if i tryed :) but now my 3GHz c2d feels like a p4 when encoding :( guess its time to go quad-core hey :)

But now i've noticed that encoding via .d2v eliminates chapters from from the encoded file, wheras the first run I had with automkv was nearly flawless it recognized all the .ifo and encoded most of them first time round perfect with only having to rip a few with an alternate ripper to get the audio in sync, but they had all the chapters included which was just awesome. is there anyway to keep the chapters even when forced to use .d2v method?

I did 2 rips, 1 with AQ set at .5/13 and the other with no AQ. The resulting file size is identical.

I've checked out the x264 help and it seems that in the x264.exe (r706) with 0.95beta21 the default aq strength was 0.0 and aq sensitivity was 15 whereas the default in the latest build (r736) is now 0.5 and 13.

Also noted that previously if you didn't explicitly set aq strength or you set it to 0 in AutoMKV it wasn't being added to the x264 command line and consequently wasn't activated.

Now however if you don't explicitly set aq strength or you set it to 0 in AutoMKV it still isn't being added to the x264 command line but this results in aq strength of 0.5 and aq sensitivity of 13 being used.

So AutoMKV now needs to be changed so that if you select aq strength of 0 and aq sensitivity of 0 then these are added to the x264 command line.

just to keep you inform. I still have problem with my movie. I created a new thread about the VBV Buffer underflow error.

Alright, I've ripped a DVD, and I"ve converted an Xvid to WMV. The DVD rip looked great and was about half the size of my other rips, except that the last 5 minutes or so of movie had no video, but the audio continued. I noticed in the log file there was an encoder error, probably at that moment.

On the Xvid to WMV conversion, the video started stuttering 10 minutes into the conversion. The audio remained synced, but it seemed like it was repeating every 4th previous frame, or something.

I can attach the log files if that would be helpful, but I didn't see anything in there (error messages or otherwise) that would indicate this problem occuring. I used WVC1 2 pass good with 800 mb size specified on the file conversion, and 95 quality on the DVD rip. Its actually in the middle of converting about 8 Divx and Xvids to WMV VC1 files. If the next one is behaving the same way, I'll let you know.

EDIT: I just found a new problem. After Ripping "Pan's Labyrinth" with burn in subtitles, I lose all subtitles about 42 minutes in. I believe they got lost because there were 2 peoples subtitles simultaneousely. The second person's subtitle didn't appear, and afterward all subtitles are gone.

EDIT AGAIN: All the file conversions as described above have the stuttering video. Must have something to do with "specify size".

select the Ipod profile, then go in advanced settings , check specify quality, select 72, then save setting

restart automkv, your profile should be loaded

BHH

I use AutoMKV to make H264 for my popcornhour, H264 for my IPod, and XviD for my DivX DVD players. So this does not do what I want it to do. I don't need a setup that has persistence what I need is a way to make a new profile(s), or easy change the existing profiles to constant quality. I mean, who would really want a specific filesize for iPod content anyway, or a media server, or any other device that is not "feed" by a CD or DVD; including any media server?

It is not that big of a deal to go to the advanced settings and set it for every encode, but it seems a little clumsy.

when running an encode with automkv waiting until you get to the video encoding part and exit automkv, the Output Folder = line in automkv.ini will be reset to the location of the AutoMKV095a.exe

Still have the problem of missing MKV after ripping a Video_ts of subtitled movies. Tried it several different ways, it just won't create the MKV.

I tried running the muxing.bat from the Temp folder and got an error.

I am attaching the Command Prompt screen-grab with the error, as well as the log.

Thanks.

I dunno if this is a bug or my stupidity but hwen i select "Autocrop only" in the width resolution listbox it still resizes the film.

Thanks

I suggest you edit your post and paste log text inside CODE tags as attachments can take quite a while to be approved.

@Gruelius
Can you please post your log (as above - inside CODE tags).

Just go to C:\Program Files\AutoMKV\profiles\x264-profiles

And edit on the of the existing profiles that is close to what you want. Be sure when you name the file that you include _CQ_ in the file name to activate CRF if it is a CRF profile. For example MyProfileforPS3_CQ_80CQ.xml

This profile will then be selectable under profile drop down menu if you click All Profile

Knowing what file to edit or to put _CQ_ in the name is not the problem. Knowing what to edit in the file is. What parameters do I change? What parameters do I add? What parameters do I remove?

Try removing the language setting (--language -1:esp) from the command line in muxing.bat and see if it works.

that's strange automkv write automkv.ini only when save setting is pressed...

@Gruelius

for keeping best ar. you can manually crop (using the manual crop on advanced settings, then set NONE as resize in main panel)

Gone back and looked at Zow's previous post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1097010#post1097010) with the log and it also had the esp language setting in the mkvmerge command line.

Where does AutoMKV source the language from for this, as the audio advanced options is the only place I can see a language selection but esp isn't in the list?

If esp is supposed to be spanish then it should be "spa" or "es" I believe to be accepted by mkvmerge.

buzzqw

10th February 2008, 16:35

automkv don't internally "translate" esp to spa... it simply keep the first three letters (espana -> esp).

I will add an exception for this (as for finnish->suo, japan ->jpn ...)

Some positive feedback :)

Just processed a capture of 4:3 movie broadcast in 16:9 (black bars on left and right). I applied a manual crop to remove bars and some noise at the top, and specified a desired width, leaving AutoMKV to decide on height, SAR & DAR.

Perfect results both with and without anamorphic encode selected. :cool:

Thanks for all the work with AR and such on 0.95 :thanks:

At roughly what point does diminishing returns kick in with CRF? I started with a 4.7GB DVD Rip of Fantastic 4 16X9

1st transcode - 2 pass better CQ90 - size 1.23GB
2nd transcode - CRF 16 - size 1.65GB
3rd transcode - CRF 10 - size 3.07GB

Ive done about 10 encodes on 2 PC's over the last 3 days trying to iron out a solid setting before batch transcoding all my DVD's.

I removed b-pyramid and removed p4X4mv for DXVA compatibility (thx valnar)

This is my current command line:

--pass 1 --crf 14 --stats "C:\Movies\Fantastic 4\FANTASTIC FOUR 169\VIDEO_TS\.stats" --progress --keyint 250 --bframes 3 --qpmin 10 --qpmax 51 --no-psnr --mixed-refs --trellis 1 --ref 3 --filter -2,-1 --subme 6 --direct auto --vbv-maxrate 14000 --me umh --level 3.1 --weightb --b-rdo --bime --analyse p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --threads auto --thread-input --aq-strength 0.50 --aq-sensitivity 13 --no-dct-decimate --sar 1:1

I'm using auto-crop and anamorphic encoding on 16X9 sources.

Is there anything big I'm missing? Trying to iron out these last few details is tough because I'm starting to get lost. I'm not sure what resize filter I should be using on my auto crop stuff and I'm not sure if I should be using the RemoveGrain(mode=2) filter that is enabled by default. Is there a good source that explains these filters and also a good source for explaining the results of different CRF values?

buzzqw

10th February 2008, 18:38

crf 14 is a little overkill, even 16 should produce a near trasparent quality

i will you a sharp resizer, stick with lanczos or spline36, and ermovegrain(mode=2) cannot damage your source, so use it without doubt

i will remove i4x4, not a big deal leaving it. and maybe.. rainse bframes to 4 ... try with this settings, just for fun :)

I think I have an idea what's going on with some of the videos with subtitles. I've discovered that the VOB that came out correctly has exactly the same PTS for it's audio and video. The VOB where the subtitles display at the incorrect times the PTS values are slightly different between the audio and the video. Somehow I believe this causes AutoMKV to display subtitles at the wrong time.

just to be precise: automkv use dgindex to create the d2v, and the audio delay is fixed at muxing/encoding time

BUT subtitles are ripped as is, and muxed as is.

The time of display subs(idx/sub) are inside the .idx, and automkv will not touch this file.

So i suppose something is wrong on subripping (pgc/vts/angle/chain...). I must say that often when i need subs (rarely needed) i subrip previusly, check the timing, then add as external subtitle

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

Any idea when you'll have the .96 build ready? The software has great potential to be my one-stop video conversion utility. There's literally nothing out there that reliably and easily converts to WMV.

I'm not trying to be demanding, so sorry if I come across that way. I was just curious if your a few days away from release, or a few weeks or months.

Thanks again for the nice software.

SUGGESTION (because no other utility has it):

Ability to open an audio file (any of those currently supported) and re-time it by entering in a desired time-length in hhh:mm:ss:mmm format.

-- This will resolve the annoyance of some audio tracks still being out of the sync after using the PAL>NTSC (or vice-versa) presets found in other applications. (And by "out of sync", I don't mean "it just needs a delay factor"; I mean it's still too fast or too slow.)

(General audio messin' around without it being part of a video project would be a fantastic addition.)

I think I found two bugs in automkv0.95a:

When using Constant Quality profile to hit a target size... the audio gets encoded to audio.mp4 but the application then looks for a %movie_name.mp4 and it doesn´t find it, then it starts to encode the audio again with ffmpeg and once again the audio doesn´t get noticed.

Then the avs script for the movie instead of the original width it places "ORIGINAL" on the value, so avisynths complains about not knowing what to do with "ORIGINAL".

:thanks:

I really like automkv! hope it will continue to getting better and better.

Suggestion: A feauture that lets you choose the final output size based on a percentage of the original file size. Example: One wants to encode a xvid file to x264 but to a 70% of it´s original size.

General audio messin' around without it being part of a video project would be a fantastic additionI think I will be able to write that app. It should be quite easy. Do you transcode only to AC3 or to other format?It doesn't matter, actually, since once the stuff is properly retimed, I can use BeSweet, et al, to convert it to any other format. Of course the more input/output choices there are, the more convenient the utility becomes.

Note that (1) retiming to the millisecond and (2) cutting/splicing are about the only things BeSweetGUI doesn't do, so those are the things I'm most interested in.

I'm experiencing a huge final mux size difference in this version, compared to 0.93. I encoded a movie with original Constant Quality @ 18 default quantitizer and AQ settings 15 for sensitivity and 8 for strength and original resolution / no filters, which is very high quality. In 0.93 the final file size of that movie was around 3GB. Using the EXACT same settings, with 0.95 I get a final size of 3.4GB. I can't even detect a difference in quality, so where did the extra 400MB come from?...
I've played around with swapping the x264.exe (r709) from AutoMKV 0.93 package into use with the AutoMKV 0.95 package (normally r736) and testing with and without aq-strength & aq-sensitivity.

0.95a using x264 r709 aq-str 0 aq-sens 0 5,687 KB
0.95a using x264 r736 aq-str 0 aq-sens 0 5,761 KB 1.3% increase
0.95a using x264 r709 aq-str 8 aq-sens 15 9,824 KB
0.95a using x264 r736 aq-str 8 aq-sens 15 11,040 KB 12.3% increase
Seems to indicate that while x264 r736 does create slightly larger files than x264 r709, the application of aq increases this difference significantly.
Personally I was hard pressed to see the visual difference for the extra 11-12%, but maybe my eyesight is failing as I get older ;)
I heard that the AQ in this version cannot be disabled
It can be disabled, just isn't by default or via the aq-strength / aq-sensitivity boxes.
If you add the following into the "Add to line" box at the bottom of the "Advanced Profiles Editing" tab, it will deactivate aq.
--aq-strength 0 --aq-sensitivity 0
Not required after 0.95b is released however - just use 0 in the respective boxes then as I understand it.

As buzzqw said "substitute the 264 build" if you don't like the output of the 736 build that comes with 0.95. I'm considering this myself.

11th February 2008, 12:44

@buzzqw

Well, I don't wanna substitute the x264.exe with an older build, I wanna stay updated with the current version. My only question is - why the extra size ? Does the newer build increase AQ additionally, or does it increase the quantitizer quality or what?

If I encode a movie with 0.93 which uses the older build and I use AQ sensitivity 15 and strength 8 or if I encode the same movie with 0.95 and I use sensitivity 15 and strength 5, I basically get the same size, and I frankly can't tell if there's a difference in quality... I'm sure there's some sort of a difference, but I don't know what it is, is it overall, is it AQ... so I can't make up my mind... it's all so darn confusing... If I wait for 0.96, is it going to fix the extra size problem, or are all the x264 builds from now on gonna produce the extra size?

Sorry, it's just, I've been waiting for so long to find a good quality/size combination and I thought had it with 0.93 and now it's all crazy again with this size increase... Looks like there's always gonna be something wrong.

zacoz

11th February 2008, 13:37

Thing is that the larger size issue is totally unrelated to AutoMKV. I haven't read it but this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1076312#post1076312) might contain some of the info you're looking for.

EDIT: Not sure now after perusing thread

11th February 2008, 14:11

@zacoz

Okay, so AutoMKV 0.95 uses x264 r736. Hmm... From what I got from that post, it seems that now the defaults for AQ in r736 are 13 and 0.5, as opposed to 15 and 0.5 in the older build and that's why files made with x736 are bigger, because the sensitivity is higher. So, when I'm using the same settings for both builds, I'm actually increasing the sensitivity in the r736... (so confusing isn't it)

It's just a theory, but a good way to find out would be to test x736 (through AutoMKV 0.95) at 15 and 0.5 (so I'm decreasing sensitivity from the default) and the older one (through AutoMKV 0.93) at 13 and 0.5 (so I'm increasing sensitivity from the default) and if I get almost identical results, then I've found what the difference is - sensitivity. I don't know actually if that makes any sense whatsoever but I'll give it a shot and I'll let you know. The thing is that I thought if you change it manually it doesn't matter, but I guess the manual settings are multiplications of the default, so... I'll test and and I'll let you know. Thanks.

zacoz

11th February 2008, 14:35

Hmmm, after looking through the thread I linked I'm not sure if it is the AQ implementation in the r736 included in AutoMKV 0.95 or a different patched AQ also build using r736. May just be that the changed defaults are reflected in both. But I guess the change of defaults would infer that there was a change in the algorithm somewhere.

Encoder888

11th February 2008, 16:00

@zacoz,

I tried downloading the latest r736 x264 build from its official site (and from a few others to make sure it's always the same thing) and I copied it over the one AutoMKV 0.95 uses (it was 15-20kb bigger, so it's not exactly the same one), but it won't work... AutoMKV stops after the audio encoding is complete...

I don't know, what did you do? Did you copy the old x264 build from 0.93 or are you using the new one? I think I'm just gonna use the new one with 15 sensitivity, but I'll use lower the strength, just so I get approximately the same bit rate I used to get with 0.93... I think that's a better idea than substituting the build, because you probably don't wanna keep an old build forever.

And I'm sure the change in the new build is for the better, otherwise they wouldn't have made it so... I just hope that the extra size goes to AQ and making block areas crisper and not just to overall quality.

Yes.

Change Stardust.2007.1080p.HDDVD.x264.DTS-DEFiNiTE to My.Pirated.Movie.2007

It'll be less obvious that way. :rolleyes:

@Don_Genaro

thanks for your log, i will look at this issue

@zacoz and Encoder888

it's a patched 736, since it include the hrd-nal/aud,vbv buffer... NOT a official one

Looking forward to good reports of a healthy bouncing baby boy/girl. Your first?
At 8 months I can see an extended beta test schedule being the likely outcome, unless you draw midnight feeding duty and can't get back to sleep of course

the first, yea, a little boy (name in english should be Edward (Edoardo in italian))
... i must admit that extended beta testing could be not avaiable or applicable... don't know.. i hope for a calm/love to sleep baby ;)

@zacoz (and everybody else)

After some testing I discovered something pretty weird in regards to the oversize of files in 0.95. I had been testing with sensitivity 15 and strength 8 and getting very different results with 0.93 and 0.95. In order to get similar results, I had to use strength 5 instead of 8 in 0.95. So, this time, I thought, I'd play with the sensitivity - and normally, as it was in 0.93, when you decrease the number, you get better sensitivity and a larger size. Well, apparently, that is NOT the case in 0.95, because I decreased it to 13 (still keeping the strength at 8), just to see what happens and I actually got a significantly smaller size, very close to what I got with 15 and 5.

To sum up - in 0.95 I got very similar results with 15 and 5 and 13 and 8. So, if you wanna increase the sensitivity in 0.95 you actually have to increase the number, not lower it. I don't know if that's a bug or if it was a bug in 0.93, which got fixed. The 15 and 5 version though looks much better, even the very block areas which would be affected by even very small sensitivity, so that's another thing to think about... I wish things were simpler.

BUG:

1. If source is MKV(h264/AC3) and...
2. "Use FFmpegSource" is checked in Advanced Settings, and...
3. ...source and destination are different drives...

4. The BUG: (name)mkv.ffa1cache and (name)mkv.ffv1cache files will be written on the source drive rather than in the Temp folder created on the destination drive. Quite naturally this will cause problems if the source drive is unwritable or has limited space.

Follow-up BUG:

FFmpegSource will waste a lot of time demuxing audio tracks even if NONE is selected for audio.

I recently installed autoMKV 0.95a but I can't seem to get beyond the startup.

It hangs there with a message

"Parsing profiles"

I saw that the same question was asked on the 0.93 thread but I could not find an answer there how to fix this condition.

Cheers

Thomas

@thomaspf
need some info
1) in what folder have you un-rarred the automkv_full file ?
2) what os ?
3) have you installed all needed files ?

Hi,

I started with the setup version AutoMKV-v0.95a-Setup.exe which installed everything into

C:\Program Files\AutoMKV

Since that lead to the hang with Parsing Profiles I uninstalled and reinstalled using the 15.2MB download AutoMKV095.rar and also installed that into that directory. Here is what that looks like. I am running Vista SP1 and I assume with the setup version I should have all the files I need. Unfortunately I still get the hang at startup.

Thanks for your help

Thomas

I have currently only run this through the .93 build but...
I have an AC3 with a length of 20:31. When converted to MP3 it is being shortened to 19:24. Additionally when muxed the audio is in sync in the beginning, but gradually falls out of sync. At the end of the video it's about 1500ms behind.

I ran the same video/audio through AGK 2.48b. Besweet produced an audio track that was 20:31. However it also loses audio sync at the end of the video by approximately 1500ms.

It's odd that the shortened audio track still muxes (nearly) properly even though it's a full minute shorter in length. I can't explain why it's losing sync either.

I'll run this vid through the .95 build tomorrow and see if it does any better.

I'm not sure which log files would help you, but I can supply them if you think they'll help. I've only been using automkv for a couple days so I'm still picking through the logfiles to see what I can learn.

Hi,

How can I manually "force" 16:9 aspect ratio?

I have couple of DVD:s which are 16:9, but for some reason autoMKV (and AGK too) allways makes 4:3 MKV from them.

I assume there is wrong aspect ratio code somewhere in DVD ifo, but I have tried edit them with bad luck.

check "force muxing dar"

i will check

@Amed
first pass is always in "turbo" mode... you should check "HQ first pass" to have both running at "insanely slow" speed

Hi,

I tested the new version but the audio bug is still present in v0.95b, automkv does not recognize the output made with neroaac:

Nero aac outputs: audio.mp4
Automkv espects: movie_title.mp4

So the audio ends encoded by ffmpeg to a file named: audio1.aac wich does get recognized by automkv :confused:

When using "Copy Original Audio" everythings runs normally...

The problem seems to be related only to neroaac output.

Suggestion: An option to choose the target size in terms of a percentage of the source's size.

I cutted some of the log x264 info because the forum asked to: shorten to 16000 chars.

The only modifications to the audio were:

-Changing from default 0.35 to 0.4 Quality.
-Changing Frequency from Auto to 48000.

sorry pal.. where is the error ?

the file is correctly muxed ... :confused:

09:22:10 Encoded 1' Audio Track: some_movie.mp4 -1 bytes

you "error" is due to inability of your directshowfilters to correctly decode audio part (aka.. install all required software)

Automkv muxed the audio coded by ffmpeg and not the one coded by nero...

Nero produced a track called audio.mp4 that was not "seen" by automkv. Automkv looked for a file with another name and did not see the one produced by nero "audio.mp4".

So at the end in the temp folder there are two audio files... both of about the same size... but to automkv there´s only one file (the one produced by ffmpeg). I don´t know if it is clearly explained??

So the audio produced by nero does not have any errors... it has correct size and play well in winamp, the error is that automkv doesn´t "see" it and ingores it.

The final mux is with the second audio, not the neroaac audio.

Nero produced a track called audio.mp4 that was not "seen" by automkv. Automkv looked for a file with another name and did not see the one produced by nero "audio.mp4".

what is the audio size ?

automkv will reject any size <100000 bytes, since it's considered "broken"

The audio file size produced by neroaac is: 84.639.949 bytes.

This time I tried the option "Use ffmpegsource" in advanced settings and it happens just the same...

1.- Audio gets coded by nero.
2.- Audio gets ignored by automkv... because it looks for a file with another name.
3.- Audio gets coded by ffmpeg.

:script:

12:28:36 Encoding F:\Case\temp\some_movie.avi to NeroAAC with 0.40 quality
12:40:34 Encoded 1' Audio Track: some_movie.mp4 -1 bytes
12:40:34 Unable to encode Audio, try piping with FFmpeg!

The error seems clear, Automkv says that nero audio should have a file name: "some_movie.mp4" but the real file name (produced and placed in temp folder) is "audio.mp4".

So since automkv doen´t find the file "some_movie.mp4", it ignores the existing "audio.mp4" and proced to code it again with ffmpeg.

Posible solution: Make the mkvmaudio.avs script produce a file named "some_movie.mp4" instead of "audio.mp4" or make automkv to spect a file name of "some_movie.mp4" instead of "audio.mp4".

The problem was the source... In the player MPC it played OK, but when transcoding there is a part where the audio simply goes blank till the end of the movie and since that part was near the end of the movie I didn´t noticed earlier. I don´t know what kind of error is this (because to virtual dub and avidemux the avi has no errors) but it really has some kind of error.

So in conclusion automkv works flawlessly with a healthy source and has that audio behaviour only when the source has errors.

Still I insist on adding an option to compute the target file size based on a percentage of the source's video bitrate... since it´s kind of annoying to calculate it manually, this is useful to transcode between video codecs. Ex: I want to transcode an xvid movie to x264 but keeping only 70% of it´s original video bitrate... etc.

Thank you very much for this excelent tool! :devil:

could be of any interest ?
Don_Genaro, i don't want to be rude, but ... i haven't found a good reason to add this option

Remember that bitrate =~ video size
so.. 4000MB of video could 2800MB at 70% of video bitrate

@buzzqw

again.. new features suggested

#1 - in the Advanced Profiles.. can be great if we can save the setting in a new profiles instead of just the option (use this profile)

#2 - add a parameter in the parameters list for the Thread number : the default is AUTO.. but I think the problem with the VBV bufferunderflows is releated to Thread. If I use --thread 1 I don't get the error.

Odd problem...

Transcoding DVD to h.264 - If I choose my audio as Nero AAC-HE 160k only about 30% of my movie has audio. Ive tried 4 times with DVD source and DVD rip source. If I choose Nero ACC default with quality, the audio is fine. When I click the advanced audio tab to select AAC-HE and 2pass, is AutoMKV making other audio changes?

I don't know exactly what the cause of the problem is but it appears to be an access right issue with Vista.

I tried a few more re-installs in "Program Files" and gave up. I now run it from my temp directory without problems.

Converting a movie right now...

Thanks

#1 - in the Advanced Profiles.. can be great if we can save the setting in a new profiles instead of just the option (use this profile)

:confused: what do you mean "instead of just the option" ?
do you mean using load/save confuguration ?

#2 - add a parameter in the parameters list for the Thread number : the default is AUTO.. but I think the problem with the VBV bufferunderflows is releated to Thread. If I use --thread 1 I don't get the error.

a small but annoying bug: if a automkv.ini file exists, the Audio Codec (both tracks) reverts to "Lame", even if I had saved (and automkv.ini contains) "Ogg Vorbis"
I tried to delete the specific lines Audio Codec N = from the file, no change...

There has been a huge swing in encoding philosophy in favour of Constant_Quality-CRF.
It's preferable to maintain a constant quality... rather than aim at an arbitrary filesize which would result in a huge swing in quality over time.

There is no harm in aiming at an average percentage reduction in filesize but it far less clear how it would be attainable.

The problem with the CRF aproach to transcode divx/xvid movies, is that there is no easy way on knowing how much CRF does the file really needs. Sometimes a transcoded file with CRF 21 ends with a bigger size than the source, so it is evident that one is throwing into it more CRF than the necesary.

Another problem is that some divx/xvids have enough CRF with no less than 24, so a given CRF number isn´t optimal for every case. And since the goal is gaining some file size reduction keeping the quality as much as possible close to the source, the bitrate solution seems better.

I been testing with percentage of bitrate reduction and until now and I have had excelent results transcodes using 70% to 75% of the original bitrate, whether using two pass or "hit media size" CRF, but with CRF is quicker.

Also, do you agree that CRF or CQ 18 is equal in quality to divx/xvid CQ 2??? And what happens when a sample encoded with CQ 18 in x264 has the same size of one encoded with Xvid cq 2?, does this mean x264 has no compresability advantage over xvid in that particular movie??

Ok, once again I call on the guidance of the video gurus :)

I am actually in the process of writing a very clear "best practices" guide focused on DVD to h.264 converting and I have come a long way in my quest for knowledge.

I am good on the video and audio settings but I am definately having a problem grasping something and I need some clarification.

My questions are about aspect ratio, anamorphic and auto-crop.

Ok, I think I understand it as follows.

1. I have 300+ DVD's and all of them are widescreen. Most are 2.35:1 or 1.85:1. Neither of those aspect ratios are 16X9 (1.78:1). My TV is 16X9 so the DVD plays at 16X9 and because of the difference between 16X9 and the aspect ratio of the movie, that is why I have the black bars (called letterboxing). Am I correct on this?

2. Assuming the above is correct, I go to my next question. Some of my DVD's say "Anamoprhic Widescreen" on the back of them. The way I understand it is that anamorphic widescreen movies are "squished" horizontally and then "stretched" back out on the TV to fill the entire screen and correct the image size which results in a 16X9 image or 853X480 resolution? Is this correct?

3. Assuming that is correct, when I put a 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 DVD into AutoMKV why does it tell me to select anamorphic in the advanced menu? Is this so AutoMKV can stretch the squished image during the transcoding so that the TV does not have to?

4. If that is the case, then choosing to auto-crop and choosing anamorphic is defeating the purpose (if your goal is to remove black lines)? If I choose auto-crop and also choose anamorphic I end up with a resolution of 720X368 and even if my TV stretches the image to 16X9 I end up with black bars. So if I will only be viewing these transcodes on 16X9 TV then I should not auto-crop anamorphic widescreen DVD's correct?

5. So then the only reason why someone only watching on a 16X9 TV would auto-crop a 1.85 or 2.35 DVD usually is because it is non-anamorphic (so you will get letterboxing anyway) and you wish to save bits (or wish to clean up the letterbox edges)?

6. Does auto-cropping result in a resize of the entire image or does it just "cut off" the letterboxed areas? I read that resizing will always result in a loss of quality so if it resizes the entire image then I will not auto-crop non-anamorphic DVD's.

This is so much to take in over a 1-2 week period that it all starts to run together. If I am way off, please tell me as I wish to start batch transcoding all of my DVD's this weekend.

I would be very interested in such a guide (provided it's not too arcane), as I also have a bunch of DVD => H.264 conversions planned for the next weeks.

A question (and possibly suggestion) about Autocrop:

while encoding with "Autocrop only", I got the following message from x264: width or height not divisible by 16 (716x544), compression will suffer (the original movie size is 720x576.)

How bad is that? If there is any serious impact, should the Autocrop function not ensure that the resulting dimensions are mod16 compliant ? (even if that means increasing dimensions instead of cropping)

Ok, once again I call on the guidance of the video gurus :)I'm barely a newbie myself so I hope you don't mind my comments and additional questions.

1. I have 300+ DVD's and all of them are widescreen. Most are 2.35:1 or 1.85:1. Neither of those aspect ratios are 16X9 (1.78:1). My TV is 16X9 so the DVD plays at 16X9 and because of the difference between 16X9 and the aspect ratio of the movie, that is why I have the black bars (called letterboxing). Am I correct on this?As I understand it, "letterboxing" is generally used to refer to the black bars added to standard (4:3, non-anamorphic) video when the movie is wider (1.66, 1.78, 1.85, 2.35 or whatever). Anamorphic video has a display aspect ratio of 1.78:1. So if the movie is wider than that, black bars will also have to be added which technically is probably also "letterboxing".

The way I understand it is that anamorphic widescreen movies are "squished" horizontally and then "stretched" back out on the TV to fill the entire screen and correct the image size which results in a 16X9 image or 853X480 resolution? Is this correct?I've always been curious about this one so hopefully someone else can clarify. What's the resolution of a widescreen (NTSC) TV? Is it 853x480 with square pixels, or is it 720x480 with rectangular pixels?

3. Assuming that is correct, when I put a 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 DVD into AutoMKV why does it tell me to select anamorphic in the advanced menu? Is this so AutoMKV can stretch the squished image during the transcoding so that the TV does not have to?I don't know why AutoMKV tells you to select anamorphic but anamorphic encoding doesn't stretch the squished image. It actually maintains it.

4. If that is the case, then choosing to auto-crop and choosing anamorphic is defeating the purpose (if your goal is to remove black lines)?Auto-crop can always be used to remove the black bars from the source video. It doesn't matter if you choose anamorphic or not. Anamorphic simply defines where or not the image is "squished".

If I choose auto-crop and also choose anamorphic I end up with a resolution of 720X368 and even if my TV stretches the image to 16X9 I end up with black bars. So if I will only be viewing these transcodes on 16X9 TV then I should not auto-crop anamorphic widescreen DVD's correct?
If the movie is wider than your TV (e.g. 2.35:1 on a widescreen TV) then there will always be black bars. The question is: where do the black bars come from? If you don't auto-crop then the black bars are encoded. If you auto-crop, then the black bars are not encoded but are anyway generated by your media player before sending to the TV. So how I see it, auto-crop is always better since I see no point in encoding black bars. Anamorphic encoding only affects the width of the encoded video. Not the black bars.

6. Does auto-cropping result in a resize of the entire image or does it just "cut off" the letterboxed areas? I read that resizing will always result in a loss of quality so if it resizes the entire image then I will not auto-crop non-anamorphic DVD's.Yes, auto-cropping cuts off the black bars but I believe in many cases this also involves resizing because the number horizontal pixels vs the number of vertical pixels need to be a certain way. I guess it's something to do with MOD16 but I don't understand any of that stuff.

Anyway, I believe you're right. Any resizing will result in a loss of quality so you might not want to auto-crop. However, if the original video is anamorphic then you'd want to maintain that if you don't want any resizing. Anamorphic NTSC is 720x480 which is squished. Anamorphic encoding will maintain that. If you don't use anamorphic encoding then the picture will be resized to somewhere around 853x480.

This is so much to take in...Tell me about it! I'm still trying to figure out the best settings and dimensions for my encodes.

I been testing with percentage of bitrate reduction and until now and I have had excelent results transcodes using 70% to 75% of the original bitrate,Interesting. Does this mean that for the same level of quality, X264 files can be 25-30% smaller than XviD/DivX?

My questions are about aspect ratio, anamorphic and auto-crop.

Ok, I think I understand it as follows.

1. I have 300+ DVD's and all of them are widescreen. Most are 2.35:1 or 1.85:1. Neither of those aspect ratios are 16X9 (1.78:1). My TV is 16X9 so the DVD plays at 16X9 and because of the difference between 16X9 and the aspect ratio of the movie, that is why I have the black bars (called letterboxing). Am I correct on this?
Yes, this is letterboxing, as it is also letterboxing when a 16:9 movie is played on a 4:3 TV. On my TV I also have the option of NOT letterboxing - it instead fills the height of the screen but consequently chops off the right and left of the picture (yuk).
2. Assuming the above is correct, I go to my next question. Some of my DVD's say "Anamoprhic Widescreen" on the back of them. The way I understand it is that anamorphic widescreen movies are "squished" horizontally and then "stretched" back out on the TV to fill the entire screen and correct the image size which results in a 16X9 image or 853X480 resolution? Is this correct?
You will likely find all your widescreen movies are "Anamorphic Widescreen" whether they specifically say that or not. Your obviously from NTSC land considering your reference to 480 height. Your DVD movies therefore all have a resolution of 720 x 480 which obviously isn't 16:9, so they all must be either being stretched horizontally or squashed vertically (i.e. Anamorphic).
3. Assuming that is correct, when I put a 2.35:1 or 1.85:1 DVD into AutoMKV why does it tell me to select anamorphic in the advanced menu? Is this so AutoMKV can stretch the squished image during the transcoding so that the TV does not have to?
You must have width selected as "Original" in that case - that's the only time that message is displayed, and only relevant when you both select "Original" and have a widescreen source. When "Original" is selected, that actually means original width and original height (i.e. no cropping whatsoever). Therefore if you are encoding a widescreen movie using the original 720 x 480 then it MUST be stretched to display as a widescreen (whether 16:9, 2.35:1, 1.85:1, etc).
EDIT: It's not AutoMKV stretching the image, rather setting the Display Aspect Ratio (DAR) or similar to tell the player to stretch it on playback.
4. If that is the case, then choosing to auto-crop and choosing anamorphic is defeating the purpose (if your goal is to remove black lines)? If I choose auto-crop and also choose anamorphic I end up with a resolution of 720X368 and even if my TV stretches the image to 16X9 I end up with black bars. So if I will only be viewing these transcodes on 16X9 TV then I should not auto-crop anamorphic widescreen DVD's correct?
If you choose autocrop and select anamorphic then your original picture height is retained (less the cropping) and your picture is stretched horizontally to make it widescreen. If you choose autocrop but NOT selecting anamorphic then your original width (less cropping) will be retained (normally 716 - 720) but your height will be squashed to get to the right widescreen aspect ratio (i.e. you loose pixels).
You seem to be thinking you HAVE to remove black bars - that's WRONG. With a 16:9 TV you can only ever not have black bars if the picture area of your movie is exactly 16:9 aspect ratio as well. You've stated that most of your movies are NOT 16:9, their width is actually proportionately larger than their height compared to a 16:9 therefore to retain the correct visual aspect ratio your TV either needs to:

fill the width which leaves the height not filling the screen (i.e. black bars top and bottom - this is good)
fill the height which means the left and right of the picture is cut off (not good)
or visually squash the picture back to 16:9 and fill both height and width (everything subsequently looks squashed horizontally - not good)

5. So then the only reason why someone only watching on a 16X9 TV would auto-crop a 1.85 or 2.35 DVD usually is because it is non-anamorphic (so you will get letterboxing anyway) and you wish to save bits (or wish to clean up the letterbox edges)?
Question seems flawed to me as 16:9, 1.85, 2.35 DVD movies are all anamorphic to start with. When encoding them you can choose to make the resulting encode anamorphic or not - your choice. If you retain the same visual aspect ratio of the picture however, then making it anamorphic or not has very little (actually read "nothing") to do with it being letterboxed when played.
6. Does auto-cropping result in a resize of the entire image or does it just "cut off" the letterboxed areas? I read that resizing will always result in a loss of quality so if it resizes the entire image then I will not auto-crop non-anamorphic DVD's.
My experience is that with a widescreen movie in AutoMKV, autocrop set on the basic settings tab in the width field doesn't resize, only crops, when you have anamorphic selected on advanced setting tab.
If you don't select anamorphic then it has to squash the height to retain the aspect ratio - you haven't given it a choice.
This is so much to take in over a 1-2 week period that it all starts to run together. If I am way off, please tell me as I wish to start batch transcoding all of my DVD's this weekend.
DON'T.......until you've tried some short test encodes with and without autocrop and with and without anamorphic to see what the output is. This is the best way to be confident in yourself that you know what is happening and what your output will be like.
Also you may want to use something like Mediainfo or Avinaptic to see what the output pixel size, the display aspect ratio etc is, and play the output in a software player that isn't set to override the display aspect ratio.

My apologies to the true experts who may pick up some not quite 100% *technically* accurate comments I've made. I've come from a similar level of confusion as Tirade so hopefully my explanation may gel. :helpful:

EDIT: Aylwin beat me, and has some nice concise comments on several of the questions to. Good Job.

If you choose autocrop and select anamorphic then your original picture height is retained (less the cropping) and your picture is stretched horizontally to make it widescreen.It might be useful to clarify that the "picture is stretched horizontally to make it widescreen" during playback. If you select anamorphic encoding then the encoded file remains "squished". Here's a test I made with an anamorphic PAL (720x576) movie with an aspect ratio of 2.35:1:

Auto-crop + Anamorphic Encoding = 716x432 (DAR = 2.35)
Auto-crop only = 716x304 (DAR = 2.35)

You'll see that with auto-crop only, the aspect ratio is already 2.35 (716/304). However, with anamorphic encoding the image needs to be stretch horizontally (about 1016x432 on the PC) during playback to get the right aspect ratio.

By comparison, here's what I get if I select Original instead of Auto-Crop:

Original + Anamorphic Encoding = 720x576 (DAR = 16/9)
Original only = 720x576 (DAR = 5/4)

We can see that Original keeps the same image dimensions as the source. The anamorphic file is again stretched during playback to get the right display aspect ratio (letterboxed 1024x576). However, the non-anamorphic file is just plain wrong. I don't know if this is by design or a bug.

I've always been curious about this one so hopefully someone else can clarify. What's the resolution of a widescreen (NTSC) TV? Is it 853x480 with square pixels, or is it 720x480 with rectangular pixels?

I am pretty sure its 853X480 w/ square pixel. My TV runs at 1920X1080 and my other TV is 1280X720 both are 16X9. I can only assume its stored at 720X480 on the DVD because of some sort of resolution restriction?

Yes, auto-cropping cuts off the black bars but I believe in many cases this also involves resizing because the number horizontal pixels vs the number of vertical pixels need to be a certain way. I guess it's something to do with MOD16 but I don't understand any of that stuff.

I dont fully understand it either. I do know MOD16 means that the width and height are dividable by 16 and that’s important because the video is divided up into 16X16 blocks for encoding. So if its not dividable by 16 you are losing data as it will down to to the nearest 16th. I'm sure there is more to it than that though.

Anyway, I believe you're right. Any resizing will result in a loss of quality so you might not want to auto-crop. However, if the original video is anamorphic then you'd want to maintain that if you don't want any resizing. Anamorphic NTSC is 720x480 which is squished. Anamorphic encoding will maintain that. If you don't use anamorphic encoding then the picture will be resized to somewhere around 853x480.

Hmmm then would it be better to retain the anamorphic source and let my player stretch it out or not choose anamorphic and let AutoMKV stretch it out? The end result of 853X480 would be fine on a 16X9 TV.
In Zacos reply he states that selecting anamorphic will set the correct DAR so that the player properly stretches it out but not selecting anamorphic will result in the original size of 720X480 (squished). So I do not think your end result will be 853X480. I think you will still get 720X480 and you will have to manually select the DAR? Is this right Zacos? (and yes I am from NTSC land hehe)

If you choose autocrop and select anamorphic then your original picture height is retained (less the cropping) and your picture is stretched horizontally to make it widescreen. If you choose autocrop but NOT selecting anamorphic then your original width (less cropping) will be retained (normally 716 - 720) but your height will be squashed to get to the right widescreen aspect ratio (i.e. you loose pixels). You seem to be thinking you HAVE to remove black bars - that's WRONG. With a 16:9 TV you can only ever not have black bars if the picture area of your movie is exactly 16:9 aspect ratio as well.
Damn you are right I should have thought about that. The only way to fill the screen vertically is to also stretch it (off the screen) horizontally; otherwise I will lose the films native aspect ratio. That makes perfect sense.

My experience is that with a widescreen movie in AutoMKV, autocrop set on the basic settings tab in the width field doesn't resize, only crops, when you have anamorphic selected on advanced setting tab.
I am hoping to get clarification on this. If I choose Auto-Crop it forces me to choose a resize option (even if Anamorphic is selected). Is this because it does resize but it only resizes the black areas? Can anyone confirm if cropping affects the entire image or not? I am hoping the answer is no so that I can finish this guide and start my testing w/o worrying about resize filters.

THANKS A TON GUYS! I hope when I get this all squared away today I can contribute back with a decent guide.

I am pretty sure its 853X480 w/ square pixel. My TV runs at 1920X1080 and my other TV is 1280X720 both are 16X9.I was referring to conventional CRT widescreen TVs. These new HDTVs, I think of them like computer monitors (square pixels).

I can only assume its stored at 720X480 on the DVD because of some sort of resolution restriction?720x480 is the standard for NTSC. And this is what the "old" CRT TVs need.

If you don't use anamorphic encoding then the picture will be resized to somewhere around 853x480.Hmmm then would it be better to retain the anamorphic source and let my player stretch it out or not choose anamorphic and let AutoMKV stretch it out? The end result of 853X480 would be fine on a 16X9 TV.Sorry. Very poor statement on my part. I was trying to imply that you would have to manually set the dimensions in AutoMKV if you want a similar resolution to anamorphic encoding. If you simply use Auto-crop with no anamorphic encoding, then it's 720 x [whatever height needed to get the rigth aspect ratio] as explained by zacoz.

If I choose Auto-Crop it forces me to choose a resize option (even if Anamorphic is selected). Is this because it does resize but it only resizes the black areas? Can anyone confirm if cropping affects the entire image or not? I am hoping the answer is no so that I can finish this guide and start my testing w/o worrying about resize filters.I'm not sure I fully understand your questions. Auto-Crop removes the black areas, it doesn't resize them. You also mention resize filters. I don't think that has any direct relation to cropping.

By the way, what media player are you using and how is it connected to your TV?

I'm not sure I fully understand your questions. Auto-Crop removes the black areas, it doesn't resize them. You also mention resize filters. I don't think that has any direct relation to cropping.

I think what he was saying is that by removing *any* lines from the original source at all, even black bars, it will force a minor resize/scale from the original DVD because of MOD16. Most of us think it's best to remove the black bars and not encode them, but the price we pay is a little bit of fudging.

If you are a total stickler for the original quality, the best option is Original sizing + anamorphic. In the case of a 2.35:1 movie for instance, that would mean wasting some bits encoding black bars.

Yes, I was wondering if cropping works like say... using scissors to cut off the top and bottom of a photo or does cropping the black bars out actually require processing/resizing the entire source?

I plan to compare some size differences tonight between cropping and original and seeing how much of a size difference there is and if there is an quality difference. If the wasted bits are a negligible size difference (1-3%) I might just use the original. I cant think there would be a lot of information in those black areas :)

I do like the solid black look of the cropped areas compared to the somewhat gray/black default letterbox bars.

Taddeusz

14th February 2008, 16:19

I think it's always been the common-man consensus that cropping the black bars reduces the size by a lot. But then compression techniques now are very efficient. And you're talking about two large bands of black which should compress down to nearly nothing because nothing is there. I've never seen any actual proof that cropping actually reduces size or increases quality by a noticeable amount.

Not quite true, I may not have been clear.
If you use Autocrop + Anamorphic you would end up with approx 720 x 480 that is stretched to 853 x 480 on playback.
If you use Autocrop only you get approx 720 x 404 with no stretching on playback.
AutoMKV sets DAR correctly in both cases.
(these are approximates as I've never encoded NTSC so don't know what it normally mods/resizes W & H to exactly)

You have me thinking about this a little more now too. I might have to look a bit deeper. When I "autocrop with anamorphic" my 720 x 576 16:9 anamorphic PAL TV captures (no black bars evident), I end up with 716 x 576 (anamorphic) output - I'd assumed no resizing was done but I should probably double check it isn't doing a tiny bit.

zacoz

14th February 2008, 17:00

By comparison, here's what I get if I select Original instead of Auto-Crop:

Original + Anamorphic Encoding = 720x576 (DAR = 16/9)
Original only = 720x576 (DAR = 5/4)

We can see that Original keeps the same image dimensions as the source. The anamorphic file is again stretched during playback to get the right display aspect ratio (letterboxed 1024x576). However, the non-anamorphic file is just plain wrong. I don't know if this is by design or a bug.
Your second test, selecting "Original only" is why the message comes up about recommending Anamorphic be selected - because if your source is anamorphic in this case and you don't your output DAR will be wrong and it won't play right.

It was discussed in the 0.95beta thread, but it was unclear if forcing this could cause an issue in the case an unusual anamorphic source. From memory someone mentioned having seen vertically anamorphic videos not only the common horizontally anamorphic. Buzzqw therefore added the "recommendation to tick anamorphic" in the status bar as a solution.

Still I insist on adding an option to compute the target file size based on a percentage of the source's video bitrate... since it´s kind of annoying to calculate it manually, this is useful to transcode between video codecs. Eg: I want to transcode an xvid movie to x264 but keeping only 70% of it´s original video bitrate... etc.Perhaps, the issue is not so much of encoding at 70% of orginal filesize even if you can't always gauge the original audio/video makeup (eg, multiple audio tracks, huge DTS file, etc)... but the advantage thereof !

There has been a huge swing in encoding philosophy in favour of Constant_Quality-CRF. It's preferable to maintain a constant quality... rather than aim at an arbitrary filesize which would result in a huge swing in quality over time (see post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1091248#post1091248)). There is no harm in aiming at an average percentage reduction in filesize but it far less clear how it would be attainable.

-- Actually that is ridiculously simple for compilations (such TV series) that you want to fill DVD5s right up to 4482mb:

1. Figure out how many episodes will go on each DVD, and how roughly, on average, much space you intend to devote to each episode. (Example: 27 show series with one extra = 14 episodes per DVD, or a very generous 320mb per episode, so quality should be superb.)

2. Do a Target Quality 60% pass CQ encode on all episodes, and record resultant file sizes. IMPORTANT: Make sure your output FPS is the desired one (usually 23.976 in the case of NTSC DVDs), and that you're properly deinterlacing -- otherwise output sizes will be bloated: "Hybrid" sources subjected to "Auto" will otherwise yield some episodes at 23.976 and others at 29.97 (in which case you'll have to force the 29.97s down).

3. Now simply apply percentages to 320mb to get the actual desired size of each episode. (In the example above, you can break each "set" of 14 into its own group.) Round fractions down so there'll be about 10mb of extra space on each DVD to fill up with pictures, theme music MP3s, etc. -- If you're really a geek into squeezing out the last possible percentage points, you'll strip out all the converted audio tracks and remove them from your calculations.

-- You'll find that variation with a series can be considerable. For instance, any cartoon episode featuring a storm (driving rain, blowing leaves, etc) or busy action scenes with rolling backdrops needs considerably more space than one with mostly just characters "moving lips". In the example above, mean file size will cluster near or a little below 320mb, some files will be as low as 250mb or less, some will be near 400mb, and a "season ender blow-out" episode will be up near 450mb or more.

Buzzqw therefore added the "recommendation to tick anamorphic" in the status bar as a solution.I've just made a test with standard NTSC:
Original only = 720x480 (DAR 1.5)
Original + Anamorphic = 720x480 (DAR 4/3)

It seems it doesn't matter if I'm encoding standard or anamorphic. I still need to select Anamorphic encoding. Otherwise, the DAR is incorrect.

So in my opinion, if Original is selected then Anamorphic should automatically selected also. If necessary, then add comment in the status bar to say "Anamorphic Encoding is also enabled. Go to Advanced tab to change."

I believe the majority of encodes will need Anamorphic Encoding checked if Original is selected. And I think default/automatic settings should favor the majority rather than the minority.

Hi Buzz,

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've been rather busy working...

Earlier today I contacted Moitah for the source code for my ARS Calculator application (which I seem to have lost).

With it, it will be possible to work out the required "aspect ratio signalling" values of any "AutoCrop Only" anamorphic MPEG-4 Part-2 and Part-10 encode.

Hello Buzzqw,

I'd like to thank you for your work, I'm using your AutoMen wich I like for quick and good quality encodings; now I take a look at AutoMKV and I'm very impressed of the possibilities of this prog.

I often encode TV-revcordings to xvid avi, they are always broadcasted interlaced (PAL-TV) although most movies are progressive, they splitt a full frame into two interlaced. Programms like AutoGK detect those files as interlaced and switch on their deinterlace-routines. AutoMKV is much more sophisticated, its detection is treating those files as progressive and the quality of the encoding is much better (because no deinterlace-filter is used). However, there are some cases, AutoMKV's detection comes to no result, for example:

In this case I think the file was treated as progressive video, wich means that no deinterlace-filter was used. The result of the encoded video is a bit poor because of the visible interlace-lines. Therefore I had the idea of a switch added to the deinterlace options wich forces AutoMKV to deinterlace if the automatic routines come to no result. What do you think, does this make sense?

Another (small) point: Would it be a big thing to add an option for "standby-mode" to shutdown mode?
:thanks:

Advanced Audio Settings windows still won't accept changes (i.e., open window, uncheck Normalizing, close window, start encode, see normalizing function appear, abort, open window and see Normalizing is still checked....etc).again NOT A BUG
i wanted this behavior...BHH
I'm confused then.... :confused: What's the point of the window if you can't change anything?

(I dislike normalizing....)

I think I found a small Bug:

When trying to save more than 1 "configuration" , it wont save the config. Currently, I have "Sample.ini" as the only thing which I can save... is there anyway to save more than 1? =O

You have to include the .ini at the end of your filename. If you don't it wont work. (Small bug)

@Spreeni

the deinterlacer detection is far from perfect!

anyway if you KNOW that your file is interlaced (and tff from your log) simple select Interlaced and check TFF in deinterlacer settings

Therefore I had the idea of a switch added to the deinterlace options wich forces AutoMKV to deinterlace if the automatic routines come to no result. What do you think, does this make sense

have a sense.. let's me think about! (something like "Save Deinterlacer")

@Honeyko

have you try to
launch automkv
load your file, set all options, open the advanced audio settings , DEcheck normalize and click ok, launch encoding

please then check if normalize is applyed.

I mean the window reset to default BUT if you set some options those settings ARE remembered.

@Cyrus221
feel free to change name to what you want.ini :)

Aylwin, Zacos and buzzqw...

Jumping back on the topic of autocrop with AutkoMKV. I did 3 transcodes of the same movie (DVD source 5GB).

The first 2 transcodes I choose autocrop & anamorphic. For the first file I choose Spline36 as the resize option (you are forced to choose a resize filter when selecting autocrop) and for the 2nd movie I choose Lanzcos. Here are the resulting file sizes.

DVD_Default_Spline36.mp4 - 1,421,179,777 bytes (720X368)
DVD_Default_Lanzcos.mp4 - 1,427,978,077 bytes (720X368)

Obviously only a about 5MB difference in size. Not sure if the entire movie is being resized or not (how to tell?).

Here is the oddness though. Transcode #3 the ONLY difference is I selected original instead of autocrop. Nothing else changed (I did a batch job of all 3 only changing the crop option). The file without autocrop is SMALLER than the files with autocrop. If leaving in the letterbox is supposed to add more bits, why is the file smaller? I can only assuming autocrop does force a resize of the movie and the extra data used during the resize results in a larger file. If this is the case it is actually better not to autocrop if you wish to save space (depending on the settings).

DVD_Default_Original.mp4 - 1,407,112,927 bytes (720X480)

Here are the logs from transcode #2 and #3

@Spreenithe deinterlacer detection is far from perfect! ....anyway if you KNOW that your file is interlaced (and tff from your log) simple select Interlaced and check TFF in deinterlacer settingshave a sense.. let's me think about! (something like "Save Deinterlacer")I'd like to just be able to select a single item which will forcibly (1) de-interlace and (2) de-telecine and (3) after all that, decimate (if necessary) or otherwise reduce FPS to 24/1.001. -- Call it the "NTSC Crunch!", applicable to virtually every ordinary US/Hollywood NTSC DVD of an American film or older cel-drawn cartoon series.Advanced Audio Settings windows still won't accept changes (i.e., open window, uncheck Normalizing, close window, start encode, see normalizing function appear, abort, open window and see Normalizing is still checked....etc).again NOT A BUG. i wanted this behavior...BHHI'm confused then.... What's the point of the window if you can't change anything?have you try to launch automkv load your file, set all options, open the advanced audio settings , DEcheck normalize and click ok, launch encoding please then check if normalize is applyed.Normalizing is being applied in those cases (or at least I assume so, since I always abort, before it is finished, the normalizing doohicky that pops up and begins thrashing through the audio). I tried is both with audio track in a video file, and also with a stand-alone audio file (both .wav and AC3).I mean the window reset to default BUT if you set some options those settings ARE remembered.IMO, you're just begging for trouble, especially once it works right. For instance, if somebody WANTS normalize checked, but he'd unchecked it previously, if he just opens the Advanced Audio Settings window again, he'll see the box checked (your default) and assume that normalizing is all set to go, since the window's box is checked per default -- but, according to what you just said above, it wouldn't be.

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!

@Tirade

good test!, i'm waiting for the fourth!

about your guide: Excellent!

just some points:
the setup of Ajax_Undone is coomprensive of neroaac
in \exe\besweet must be put the neroaacenc.exe not dll
the profiles must be .xml not .txt
"(alternately you may select all of the .VOB files in the directory)." it's better to say: select the first vob where movie start, usually vts_01_1.vob (the vts_01_0.vob is usually menu/intro)

thanks for this guide!

IFor instance, if somebody WANTS normalize checked, but he'd unchecked it previously, if he just opens the Advanced Audio Settings window again, he'll see the box checked (your default) and assume that normalizing is all set to go, since the window's box is checked per default -- but, according to what you just said above, it wouldn't be.

The settings selected upon last reopening of Advanced Audio Settings are remembered UNTIL the settings window is re=opened again and then they are reset to the defaults you see. So if you see normalise selected that's what it should be doing, if it's not selected it shouldn't be normalising.

Requests to have it not reset to the defaults upon opening the window comes up frequently in the threads but buzzqw specifically wants it that way.

The main issue seems to be if I'm reading your posts right is that it's normalising for you even when you've de-selected normalise. Will see later if I can replicate that - assuming don't lose power again here (major storms and flooding here today).

Hi Buzzqw,

the deinterlacer detection is far from perfect!

I don't think the detection is THAT far from perfect. I tested several clips and everytime AutoMKV declared it as interlaced or progressive, it was correct. The problem is when the source material is mixed stuff (documentaries etc.) - AutoMKV then does nothing. I think it would be better for quality to always deinterlace in such cases.

anyway if you KNOW that your file is interlaced (and tff from your log) simple select Interlaced and check TFF in deinterlacer settings

Yes, of course you're right. But always checking the source clips manually before encoding takes time and is not so comfortable as using an automatic routine. ;).

I use AutoMKV to make H264 for my popcornhour ...
I also own a PopcornHour A-100 and some of MKVs don't play at all (Level 5.1, insane number of ref frames, etc ...).
Do you use AutoMKV to reencode MKV ? If so, could you tell me what settings you use ?
Thank you.

Sorry buzzqw, my post was not clear enough.

What I mean is that some MKVs won't play at all with PopcornHour. Don't know what encoding GUI/tool was used.
Explanation is here : http://www.networkedmediatank.com/viewtopic.php?p=14102#14102

So I need to reencode them and I'm looking for a simple tool to do this. That's why I'm here ;)

I would like to made them PCH compliant, with the less degradation and so the fastest as possible.
I'm quite lost with all the settings. Need to simply do MKV2MKV with level 4.1 and 4-6 ref frames. Same resolution, framerate, bitrate, etc ...
Hope I made myself clear now ...

I'm having problems with getting queued jobs done. I tried to queue 22 jobs (a TV series), but whenever I hit start (and I tried this three times), AutoMKV gets to the 5-6th of them (the first time it got to the 6th, second time it got only to the 3rd) and then crashes... I was wondering if there was anything I was doing wrong? Is there a limit on the number of jobs you can queue up?

I've just made a test with standard NTSC:
Original only = 720x480 (DAR 1.5)
Original + Anamorphic = 720x480 (DAR 4/3)

It seems it doesn't matter if I'm encoding standard or anamorphic. I still need to select Anamorphic encoding. Otherwise, the DAR is incorrect.

So in my opinion, if Original is selected then Anamorphic should automatically selected also. If necessary, then add comment in the status bar to say "Anamorphic Encoding is also enabled. Go to Advanced tab to change."

I believe the majority of encodes will need Anamorphic Encoding checked if Original is selected. And I think default/automatic settings should favor the majority rather than the minority.
@Buzzqw
Could we please have Anamorphic Encoding automatically checked if Original is selected?

Do you use AutoMKV to reencode MKV ? If so, could you tell me what settings you use ?
Thank you.

The popcorn hour will go as high as High-Profile Level 4.1 HP@L4.1 (which is the same profile that is used in HD and Blue-Ray DVD's) I don't know of any dedicated box that will run 5.1 including the XBOX or PS3 because of the huge bitrate.

I made a custom profile for the PopCorn hour that seems to work great. This profile is Constant Quality Q=21 which looks great, really great. When I get home tonight I will post it here.

This profile is MP4 not MKV, but that is easy enough to modify.

One of my complaints with AutoMKV is that all the profiles for hardware devices are file-size based where I think most of the time the end-user would want quality based.

@buzzwq:

a small but annoying bug: if a automkv.ini file exists, the Audio Codec (both tracks) reverts to "Lame", even if I had saved (and automkv.ini contains) "Ogg Vorbis"
I tried to delete the specific lines Audio Codec N = from the file, no change...
thanks nanorch, i will check!

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

Is it possible to implement a new encoding aproach based not on the file size nor the CRF factor, but on the SIMM and PNSR factors of the comparison between the original and samples???

Example: I want to code the video in X264 CRF with the higher CRF setting posible that achieves a SIMM >0.975 and a PSNR factor > 40.0.

This way it ensures that the coding is been made using bitrate effiently a posible to retain a minimum desired amount of quality. And not throwing CRF 21 at sources that have plenty with CRF 26.

:thanks:

Ok here is additional transcodes. I think this will prove that the entire movie is filtered when being cropped. Source = Fantastic 4 Widecreen DVD 720X480 5.4GB

AutoCrop (Different Resize Filters)
DVD_Default_AutoCrop_Spline36.mp4 - 1,421,179,777 bytes (720X368)
DVD_Default_AutoCrop_Lanzcos.mp4 - 1,427,978,077 bytes (720X368)
DVD_Default_AutoCrop_SimpleResize.mp4 - 1,351,053,170 bytes (720X368)

Obviously if you wish to crop "to save bits" and choose a sharpening filter, you will actually end up with a bigger file size than if you stay with the original. If you use SimpleResize (or possibly other soft filters, I am testing now) you will save a good amount of size. I think this shows that indeed the entire movie is being processed during the AutoCrop and its not just "cutting off the bars".

No AutoCrop (AC3 vs DTS)
DVD_Default_Original_AC3.mp4 - 1,407,112,927 bytes (720X480)
DVD_Default_Original_DTS.mp4 - 1,407,675,913 bytes (720X480)

Instead of using autocrop, try manual crop. And cut off exactly 16 or 32 lines (MOD16) from the top and bottom just to test. Leave the width at 720. I might have the math wrong, but basically see if you can cut an exact number of lines off the top/bottom so no resizing is done. Run a compression.

Then try it again, but cut off an additional 2 or 4 lines so it'll have to use the resize filter. Check sizing with example 1.

Your theory is probably right. This is not an AutoMKV problem though - just the nature of reencoding to any other format.

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)

sorry pal.. too complex

AND don't forget to set resizer to NONE or automkv will apply a resizer

Here is the PopCornHour profile.

You can modify the quantizer by modifing this line.
<BitrateQuantizer>21</BitrateQuantizer>

And the Level is set here.
<Level>4.1</Level>

Be sure to name the file something like this.

PCH_CQ_L41_Q21.xml

where you have the _CQ_ in the filename so it knows it is a constant quality profile. Put the file in the x264-profiles folder.

Will changing the specified audio or video bitrate to a specific one (from 192 -> 96 for audio or using a low bitrate like 1300 for video) effect the audio sync on the finished encode?

It seems im having audio sync issues, and was wondering if this was the case. Im encoding from vob to wmv btw.

I still notice that VOB's where the audio and video have different PST values end up having audio that is not properly synced. The delay between the audio and video needs to be taken into account when this type of VOB is converted and muxed.

@buzzqw

Another usefull request :)

In the target output size. please add "Same as source".

becaue I want to convert anime and some anime are between 130-220 megs.. I don'T want to enter manually the value each time.Hmmm, Don_Genaro has requested "adding an option to compute the target file size based on a percentage of the source's video bitrate". Is that the same as adding an option to compute the target file size based on a percentage of the source's file size?

I'm also beginning to see this as something useful. If I want to maintain the same file size then I could set target output to 100%. Or, if I'm converting from Xvid to x264 and feel that I can usually get the same level of quality at 30% less file size, then I can set target output to 70%.

I've just noticed that if I select Original + Anamorphic Encoding with XviD then the DAR is wrong. In other words, anamorphic encoding doesn't have any effect:

Standard NTSC:
Original + Anamorphic = 720x480 with DAR: 1.5
Anamorphic PAL:
Oringial + Anamorphic = 720x576 with DAR: 5/4

Is this a bug or doesn't XviD support non-square pixels?

Another thing. With x264, if I do anamorphic encoding to MP4 instead of MKV then MediaInfo reports the wrong DAR just like my XviD test above. However, VLC plays it back in the correct aspect ratio. How does VLC know? Is there some other aspect ratio information somewhere in the file that MediaInfo is unable to detect (e.g. PAR)?

Ok, I think I understand it as follows.

I have 300+ DVD's and all of them are widescreen. Most are 2.35 or 1.85. Neither of those aspect ratios are 16X9 (1.78).
My TV is 16X9 so the DVD plays at 16X9 and because of the difference between 16X9 and the aspect ratio of the movie, that is why I have the black bars (called letterboxing).
Am I correct on this?
Yes, this is letterboxing, as it is also letterboxing when a 16:9 movie is played on a 4:3 TV.
On my TV I also have the option of NOT letterboxing - it instead fills the height of the screen but consequently chops off the right and left of the picture (yuk).
Yah sure... chopping off the left and right is pretty yuk.
Pan and scan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan_and_scan) by contrast... will crop each frame differently by moving the 4:3 box to keep the best bits in each frame.

:thanks: Buzzqw! I really think It´ll be a useful posiblity.

For vob sources the video bitrate can be obtained easily with MediaInfo.

Also Dark Shikari mentioned that x264 has some kind of SIMM and PSNR info output about the encoded result, perhaphs this could facilitate the SIMM aproach.

Example:
-Take a 2% sample without filters and find a CRF factor that outputs a SIMM >= 97,5 and PSNR > 40.
-Apply filters.
-Encode.

I have found several files specially 700mb xvids that achieve those conditions at high CRF settings like 26. So it´s a waste to blindly apply CRF 18, 20, 21 to all sources.

:thanks:

The problem with the CRF aproach to transcode divx/xvid movies, is that there is no easy way on knowing how much CRF does the file really needs. Sometimes a transcoded file with CRF 21 ends with a bigger size than the source, so it is evident that one is throwing into it more CRF than the necesary.

Another problem is that some divx/xvids have enough CRF with no less than 24, so a given CRF number isn´t optimal for every case. And since the goal is gaining some file size reduction keeping the quality as much as possible close to the source, the bitrate solution seems better.

I think you're right !

Also, do you agree that CRF or CQ 18 is equal in quality to divx/xvid CQ 2 ???
And what happens when a sample encoded with CQ 18 in x264 has the same size of one encoded with Xvid cq 2?, does this mean x264 has no compresability advantage over xvid in that particular movie??
I don't know if X265_CQ(crf)_18 = Xvid/DivX_CQ_2 .
I will say that X264_CQ(crf) use a different system from Xvid/DivX_CQ.
CQ(crf) automatically incorporates an advanced psychovisual enhancement system which will use a whole range of quantizers from Q10 to Q34 for one encode.
Xvid/DivX_CQ, by contrast will blindly maintain the same quantizer throughout... unless you use a decimal quantizer and then it'll swing between the whole numbers.

-- Actually that is ridiculously simple for compilations (such TV series) that you want to fill DVD5s right up to 4482mb:

1. Figure out how many episodes will go on each DVD, and how roughly, on average, much space you intend to devote to each episode.
(Example: 27 show series with one extra = 14 episodes per DVD, or a very generous 320mb per episode, so quality should be superb.)

2. Do a Target Quality 60% pass CQ encode on all episodes, and record resultant file sizes.
IMPORTANT: Make sure your output FPS is the desired one (usually 23.976 in the case of NTSC DVDs), and that you're properly deinterlacing -- otherwise output sizes will be bloated: "Hybrid" sources subjected to "Auto" will otherwise yield some episodes at 23.976 and others at 29.97 (in which case you'll have to force the 29.97s down).

Nice !

Is it possible to implement a new encoding aproach based not on the file size nor the CRF factor, but on the SIMM and PNSR factors of the comparison between the original and samples???

Example: I want to code the video in X264 CRF with the higher CRF setting posible that achieves a SIMM >0.975 and a PSNR factor > 40.0.

This way it ensures that the coding is been made using bitrate effiently a posible to retain a minimum desired amount of quality.
And not throwing CRF 21 at sources that have plenty with CRF 26.
For vob sources the video bitrate can be obtained easily with MediaInfo.

Also Dark Shikari mentioned that x264 has some kind of SIMM and PSNR info output about the encoded result, perhaphs this could facilitate the SIMM aproach.

Example:
-Take a 2% sample without filters and find a CRF factor that outputs a SIMM >= 97,5 and PSNR > 40.
-Apply filters.
-Encode.

I have found several files specially 700mb xvids that achieve those conditions at high CRF settings like 26. So it´s a waste to blindly apply CRF 18, 20, 21 to all sources.

Nice idea... but very complicated to implement in software !

And once more well done for the sustained effort to improve an already great program...

But, my problem was not to figure out how to download the file, I am familiar with the way these sites work...

It's just that for the past 4-5 days I've been clicking on the link, trying to download the software and it ALWAYS led to a page to download the "megaupload toolbar"...
...by downloading the toolbar, one does not get the All download slots assigned to your country are currently in use. Please try again in a few hours or install the Megaupload Toolbar for immediate access - with the toolbar installed, there are no more slot limitations for you!

I don't want any toolbar installed on my browser and this site, by this "trick" tries to force you to install the software in order to be able to download...

So, my suggestion is, Why not try another of these download sites? You pick which one...I don't want to name any...just one from which people will be able to download...maybe add another link?

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?

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.

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

15:52:44 Encoding C:\temp\temp\movie t80 3_2ch 448kbps delay -24ms.ac3_fixed_.ac3 to NeroAAC with 0.35 quality

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

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.

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.

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."

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

@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.

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....)

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

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)

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

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!

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"

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.
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.

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

18th February 2008, 18:24

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.

buzzqw

18th February 2008, 20:13

@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

18th February 2008, 20:28

@buzzqw

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

18th February 2008, 20:36

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.

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of AVISynth (2.5.8), and I still get the same thing:

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

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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

@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
I uninstalled avisynth, deleted the dll from system32 and deleted all other versions installed with other utilities. I re-installed it and watched as the new dll was added to system32.

Still I have the same problem. I can convert to anamorphic which uses avisynth, so I know that it's using the latest version because that's the only one I have on my system. But when I try to convert from 50 fps to 25 fps it goes to ffmpeg :(

So if it works on your system the problem must lie with the source. Are you testing with an 50fps 576p mpg2 source recorded from HDTV?

also, could you post a link to a sample to download and test ?
Yes, Changefps works ok, not quite as nice output as convert though :)

I've posted a sample HERE (http://www.zerogravity.com.au/temp/Test_1min.mpg), 1 min 50fps 576p mpeg2 - 62Mb

Hi to all!

I follow with interest this very usefull software.

Only one question: why there's no more possibility to use AVI container?

Thanks a lot and go on!

what do you mean exactly, would you like to see more codecs than xvid for the avi-container? I think the supported xvid-avi is enough for most cases.

20th February 2008, 23:42

@valnar

dont' use the visual crop

just the simple manual crop. set your left/top/rigth/bottom AND not width and height

DON'T check anamorph or itu

on main panel simply set resizer NONE

in this way your avs will be something like

mpeg2source("test.d2v")
crop(0,54,0,-60)

so not resizer

@kretin
try with changefps

also, could you post a link to a sample to download and test ?

@kretin

i can suggest to use AssumeFPS
Thanks very much buzzqw.

I've done some experimentation and it appears that avisynth is just incapable of converting 50fps to 25fps by blending successive frames. I've tried a number of parameters as suggested by the documentation (eg pal_film) which it either doesn't recognise or when it does it still wants the "zone" parameter added which causes it to basically work the same as changefps.

So I'll keep trying out workarounds :)

With workarounds in mind, do you know the answer to my other question?

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". Occurred the same for 3 attempts, but worked for a different source...

Please ignore this question regarding the "CAVIStreamSynth: System exception - Access Violation at 0x0, reading from 0x0" message. I just tested again with 95d and it worked, yay. Workaround 1 works :)

Hopefully last question. . .I've got all the primary options figured out now. I am trying to manually crop the black bars, how do I activate the "preview" so I can figure out the values to put in the top and bottom crop?

Thank you again very much!

Hi Valnar. Definitely no expert, but I am trying to do the same thing as you I think: keep the original pixels, only remove the black bars, no resize before or during encoding. It works for me, so unless I got something wrong (then let's talk more), I believe you got what you wanted:

Your original movie is a 2.35:1 AR placed in a 16:9 anamorphic frame of dimension 720x480 (NTSC). By cropping 54 and 60 from top and bottom you get 720x366 (By the way does MOD16 not refers to the final size 366? If yes you should crop 2 pixels less). One could maybe say that the anamorphic overlay was removed. If you then force the AR in your player to 1:1, you should see exactly the same distorsion in your original movie and in the cropped one. In other words, the original (pixel) AR of the film was preserved.

My guess is that your player is somehow confused and is not able to identify the 2.35 :1 AR of your cropped movie (I use VLC and Media Player Classic HC, both are ok). How does it look like when you force 2.35:1 AR in your player ?

By the way I'm in PAL world (But I don't think that changes anything other than the pixel AR & vertical resolution)

You didn't answer my question, but I'm pretty sure I got it: Media Player Classic can only handle up to 16:9 (i.e. 1.78:1), but not 2.35:1. I just tried with a 2.35:1 movie and had the same problem as you. Don't know why that limitation, VLC can handle whatever AR is indicated in the movie header.
=> either you keep the black bars for the encoding (anamorphic 16:9), or you stop using MPC...

I believe Tirade mentioned that there is no difference in the final size when keeping the black bars (would like to see some definitive test results on that: so far resizing was involved). If that is true, then I would recommend sticking to 16:9 as a standard. Because I still have doubts I so far removed the bars...

You are correct. It looks like I should either keep the original black bars in movies wider than 1.78 and encode anamorphic, or go full out and encode to 1:1 without anamorphic since the resize filter comes into play then.

Valnar, to be honest I don't understand the "anamorphic encoding" option of the "Advanced Settings". My (our?) goal is just to crop the black bars and have the size stay the same => no resize filter (unlike you say). The proper AR (2.35:1) is stored along the movie for the player to use (and for MPC to ignore...). Or do I get it wrong ?

Buzzwq, I do manual crop only (resize=NONE) and have that "anamorphic encoding" checked. Does that make sense? What would happen if it weren't checked ?

BUT checking anamorphic will trigger serveral change on AR muxing

Can't test it here myself just now to be 100% sure, but I've never noticed this issue. I have my MPC set so that the Video Frame (from view menu or right click) is set to "Touch Window from Inside" and with "Keep Aspect Ratio" selected. Therefore a 2.35:1 movie within a MPC window that is physically 16:9 will fill the width of the window but retain the correct 2.35:1 AR. MPC will leave black bars top and bottom. Try it out and see if it makes a difference for you.

Hi zacoz. Unless I'm mistaken, the problem is that by cropping the bars like Valnar & I do the movie is no longer physically 16:9, but 2.35:1 (both in pixel aspect ratio and physically). MPC only supports 2:35.1 movies if they are anamorphic 16:9, i.e. include the bars.

@valnar:

You didn't answer my question, but I'm pretty sure I got it: Media Player Classic can only handle up to 16:9 (i.e. 1.78:1), but not 2.35:1. I just tried with a 2.35:1 movie and had the same problem as you. Don't know why that limitation, VLC can handle whatever AR is indicated in the movie header.
=> either you keep the black bars for the encoding (anamorphic 16:9), or you stop using MPC...

I believe Tirade mentioned that there is no difference in the final size when keeping the black bars (would like to see some definitive test results on that: so far resizing was involved). If that is true, then I would recommend sticking to 16:9 as a standard. Because I still have doubts I so far removed the bars...

You know, I'm not sure this is the problem. If I do a regular simple-resize, anamorphic with a 720 width, it works fine. The resulting movie is 720x368 anamorphically sized to 848x368 on playback. The difference is the resize filter is being used. Media Player Classic has no problem with that.

So either AutoMKV isn't doing something right or me. I can't get it to cut the black bars, leave anamorphic intact, and *not* use a resize filter.

NOW A QUESTION, BEFORE, THIS CONVERSION WAS EXTREMELY FAST, LIKE 1..2 MNTS MAX. BUT WITH NO AUDIO, NOW THAT ALL IS OK CONVERSION (TALKING ABOUT ONLY VIDEO) TAKES MUCH MORE TIME.

and wich are the best/fast settings for WMV9 1pass? do filters have anything to do with ETA?

how can i use wma 5.1 ?

Hi,
trying to understand the relationship of the parameters.
1) I'm using Constant_Quality profile, the only setting that seem to make a difference is "CQ time".
Is there any effect in setting options in "AutoResize and Bitrate/Quality" box? In the wiki it says "special relationship", shows the box and then the next paragraph "These settings do absolutely nothing with the CQ profile"... Did I get it correctly - no use with CQ profile?

2) I tested a couple of times to convert a small clip (6 MB) to see the ratio of original size with the above profile, CQ = 3. The result is mpeg2 544x480 6635 KB -> XviD 640x480 5406 KB. ~76%. Seemed OK. Left converting the complete movie overnight. The result is 98% of the original (1,378,097 KB -> 1,406,144 KB). Seems like a big difference. Should I try with bigger test clip? If I only had more time...

Could you recommend a setting to produce good quality with the result size ~50 - 75%?
I tried out WinAVI previously. Very fast (20-30 min for 1.5-hour movie if I recall), good ratio of original to the encoded video, good quality, the only problem is the video pauses every few seconds shortly but noticeably.

3) Is there another way to specify DAR 4:3 instead of providing "manual resize setting", which increases the encoded-video size?
Hope, I make sense. My knowledge in this area is really limited.

4) The source I use is a transport stream from satellite, mpeg2. (correct me if I'm confusing the two). I read that it's a good idea to "fix" the stream with ProjectX before encoding. There is a box "DVR/PVR and TS Files" in Advanced settings tab, but it's grayed out. Does it get enabled only when I provide .ts file? Will it actually do any good to my files if it was enabled or I'd better off using ProjectX directly?

5) Not sure if it's a bug or what. Yesterday, I saved the configuration where I specified the size manually (640x480). Today, when I opened AutoMKV the checkbox was marked with the same values, but when I tried to convert the same clip (544x480), the result was the original size and not 640x480. Only when I unchecked and checked "Use manual crop/resize" and re-added the values, it resized the video.

Thanks in advance!

Me again :)

I just converted a 1080i mpg2 source to 576p anamorphic xvid. Using 0.95d it couldn't load in avisynth and reverted to ffmpeg (thus no anamorphic), but in 0.93 it loaded fine in avisynth and created the anamorphic xvid properly. Here are the logs:

@Aylwin AND @kretin

please open the movie.avs in virtualdub, what is the error?

@hfmls

as said several time, 5.1 audio don't seems to work properly. Much depend on decoding filters and pc setup (on my pc is more frquent a crash than a success for 5.1 audio...)

to be sure to use 5.1, select original as channel options, and go in advanced audio options and be sure that audio codec is wmapro

and wich are the best/fast settings for WMV9 1pass? do filters have anything to do with ETA?

more filtering require more time, obviusly. i can suggest to select wmv9_1_pass_cbr then in advanced settings set Specify quality and set it at 90%
or .. for a more quicker select wmv8_1_pass and specify 95% as quality

@kapucin

Hi,
trying to understand the relationship of the parameters.
1) I'm using Constant_Quality profile, the only setting that seem to make a difference is "CQ time".
Is there any effect in setting options in "AutoResize and Bitrate/Quality" box? In the wiki it says "special relationship", shows the box and then the next paragraph "These settings do absolutely nothing with the CQ profile"... Did I get it correctly - no use with CQ profile?

let's think together: constant quality is a way to get for all movie the same visual quality. Applying a Constant Rate Factor (crf) is near impossible to predict the final size, due to this automkv will grey-out the disk settings when constant quality is selected.
For the same reason to a Autoresize (called even Compression Test) have no clue on a pure constant quality profile (the only reason to use is when i want to get a specify disk settings BUT use a crf profile... not a good idea.. better to stick with a regular 2 pass profile)

Could you recommend a setting to produce good quality with the result size ~50 - 75%?
just use the 1 pass high efficency profile and set disk settings to your desidered final size.
Due to 1 pass strategy the final size will be not perfectly achivied.. but should be fast and good looking :)

3) Is there another way to specify DAR 4:3 instead of providing "manual resize setting", which increases the encoded-video size?
Hope, I make sense. My knowledge in this area is really limited.

the dar, for mpeg files, is read from d2v file (and so directly from mpeg2 stream). You can always force dar in muxing, in advanced settings
And.. just a suggestion, start using options you understand properly, then use all others
Is a common behavior that ONLY using all advanced settings/options together you got a good files.
Automkv is born to be ... Auto(matic).. so the advanced options should be used only when the Auto(matic) fails

4) The source I use is a transport stream from satellite, mpeg2. (correct me if I'm confusing the two). I read that it's a good idea to "fix" the stream with ProjectX before encoding. There is a box "DVR/PVR and TS Files" in Advanced settings tab, but it's grayed out. Does it get enabled only when I provide .ts file? Will it actually do any good to my files if it was enabled or I'd better off using ProjectX directly?
the projectx check is avaiable only when the input file is a TS files, not a .mpg
Projectx have a better handling of ts file, expecially on audio synch and corrupted stream. BUT if your source files are OK.. don't need to use projectx

[QUOTE]5) Not sure if it's a bug or what. Yesterday, I saved the configuration where I specified the size manually (640x480). Today, when I opened AutoMKV the checkbox was marked with the same values, but when I tried to convert the same clip (544x480), the result was the original size and not 640x480. Only when I unchecked and checked "Use manual crop/resize" and re-added the values, it resized the video.[QUOTE]

a log could help...

Hello folks
I am a bit of a noobie to this and just want to compress my DVD's (typically 8gb) to MKVs sized at around 4gb. There seems to be a million different settings!

I did some experimenting and found that I can get reasonable results with the following:

- profile HQ-slower
- LanczosResize (Width Resolution = Automatic)
- Filesize 1 DVD-R (about 4.5gb)
- Anamorphic Encoding (some movies did not play back at correct AR and by checking this it was fixed)

Am I missing anything or is this reasonable?
The encoding seems to take about 1.30 hours with my Q6600.

Thanks!!

24th February 2008, 03:54

@buzzqw

Congrats mate. Welcome to a whole new world. :cool:

@chappy16775

Seems ok if your goal is to have a fixed file size, for example to burn onto DVD-R's. If you are encoding for use on a server (where file size is less important) then you may want to look at using a constant quality profile or specifying the quality %.

As you indicated, you've done some experimenting to arrive at this. That's the best way to go as everyone has different needs and ideas on what is acceptable when trading off sharpness / smoothness / quality / filesize / processing time etc. You'll find that you'll change yourself as you progress and experiment more.

Spreeni

24th February 2008, 10:22

Does anybody know which version or build the xvidcore.dll in the encoder directory is? Is it a 1.2x built (multithread-enabled)?

buzzqw

24th February 2008, 12:06

thanks to all pals! :)

it's an hard work (more difficult then fixing the queue ... :p) but it's all worth!

@Spreeni

yes, it's 1.2.xxx just check the cores usage on encoding

1080p right? i want to convret to 720p, what's the equivalent?

to x800? in 720p?

what i want to do is to convert to a dvd size. should i convert to this resolution or decrease bitrate? what would be best result? to watch in1080p

did you fix the problem witht the "--me dia" -> "--me umh" in the second command line for the PS3 profile ?

and also

How can I remove theses options in the command line ?

--aq-strength 0.00 --aq-sensitivity 0

I want to use the default.

@survivant001

did you fix the problem witht the "--me dia" -> "--me umh" in the second command line for the PS3 profile ?
it's just a matter of changing the profile... just change METype to 2

--aq-strength 0.00 --aq-sensitivity 0
the default is 5 (0.5) and 13, set to these values (and hit save settings)

Another question. I have a anime .mkv when I play it with ZoomPlayer I see subtitle, but I don't see them with automkv. I try to reencode the mkv -> m2ts.. but still no subtitle.

I extract the .mkv and I only have .h264, ac3, chapters.txt

where are the subtitles ?

the video : ([SS]_Mai-Otome_Zwei_-_04_(h264_AAC)_[44371F87].mkv) can get it from here : (http://www.staticsubs.org/releases/torrent.php?id=559)

look like it's soft subs. but I didn't be able to extract the subs from the mkv.. if someone can help ?

valnar

24th February 2008, 21:40

I haven't been following the x264 development threads. Are those parameters assumed to be the best compromise for quality/file size over 0 and 0?

Can we upgrade the x264 version in AutoMKV with no problems?

24th February 2008, 22:33

Using 0.95c, lots of my DVD's (using the IFOs) and allowing for automatic resize, x264 can not process the files and cause the "unsupported input format DIB" error.

Cause is the following line in the movie.avs files:

last=movie.Crop(2,66,716,440)
fixed_aspect = 2.314242
out_width =
out_width = 720
#Aspect_Error = -2.288%
out_height = 576
#resizestart

As you can see, out_width occurs twice, and the 1st time without a value... Manually removing that line solves it, but of course I can't use "queues" that way :(

Thx!

i have a mkv video with 1920x800 resolution.
1080p right?
Not exactly. 1080p being 1920 x 1080, although I guess you're dealing with a 1080p video that has had it's black bars cropped.
You can read upon on what 1080p means here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p), and scroll to bottom of the page for a visual comparison between different resolutions.
i want to convert to 720p, what's the equivalent?
to x800? in 720p?
In 720p your width is 1280, therefore to get your cropped height (h) that fits within the 720p resolution:
1920 / 800 = 1280 / h
and solve for h (as my maths teacher used to say all those years ago)

what i want to do is to convert to a dvd size. should i convert to this resolution or decrease bitrate?
Unclear if you're wanting to convert to DVD Disc size (~4.3GB) or DVD resolution (720x576 PAL / 720x480 NTSC) which incidentally isn't 720p but 576p/480p

what would be best result? to watch in 1080p
Don't ask what's best (rule 12 (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) <-- time to re-read them again)
But having said that, it doesn't make sense to downsize a video that you are then going to upscale on playback - unless you need to compress it into a certain file size. If this is the case then nobody can tell you as it's too subjective and dependant upon your source (and probably playback equipment as well) - thus test, test and test again until you get something you're happy with.

hi
i know 1080p is 1920x1080, what i meant was with the bars croped. the iquavelente. now i know.

i was refering to 4400mb, 720p, not a DVD , DVD. i want to see upscaled 1080p, because now instead of converting 720p mkv to 720 wmv or mp4, i'm converting 1080p to 720p, so it's way better.

zacoz

25th February 2008, 11:47

@glb
Yes. However the questions asked in the hfmls's last post were not those asked in the previous violating posts (which I didn't and wouldn't answer even after having been edited) and there was no hard evidence they related to the same source.

I quite happy to be reprimanded should a mod feel I've overstepped, however my approach here seemed to be in line with previous situations I've seen on the forum.

@ Buzzqw: Found some bugs...

#1
happens @ AVI/XVID: loaded an input file, selected a configuration.ini (at the bottom of advanced settings tab) with a different xvid-profile (e.g. 2_pass_sap.xml). 'Advanced Profile Editing' tab then shows the standard xvid profile (2_pass_balanced.xml) no matter what there was selected before - and, for some strange reason, uses these parameters on queued jobs.

#2 (maybe a bug)
the '# of Threads' parameter in 'Advanced Profile Editing' cannot be saved with a settings.ini or configuration.ini. Saving it to the profile.xml does not work because the programm starts up always with #0 and overrides the threats-parameter in the profiles.

#3
The shutdown mode 'suspend' (0.95d), which should send the computer to standby-mode, does not work. However I'm very happy that this option will be a part of the programm. -Thanks!-

#4
Programm-settings saved to Lame@128 CBR: After loading an input-file the bitrate jumps to 112 and sometimes(!) the CBR parameter jumps back to ABR, too. --> This only happens at AVI/XVID. MKV/X264 works normal.

Wishes for the future:

##1 The option to deinterlace if the automatic interlace recognition comes to no result (you remember?). 'Save deinterlacing' seems to be a good name for this function.

##2 Enough time for you to continue this respectable work! You know, these babys kill every freetime :o

I also just saw that when AutoMKV defines a resolution of 716*432, x264 states that "width or height not divisible by 16 (716*432), compression will suffer" - could there maybe be a switch to "adjust" the resolution automatically so that it is a multiple of 16?

Huge congrats buzzqw. As the parent of 2 under 2 my only advice is, say bye bye to sleep cause it won't be long before you forget what a good nights sleep is :)

Anyone know how to change the setting to Level 3.1 so that I can play the file on my Apple TV?

@Spreeni

1,2,3 should be fixed (and thanks for these bugs)
4 should happen only when changing container.. (and this isn't to change)

##1 The option to deinterlace if the automatic interlace recognition comes to no result (you remember?). 'Save deinterlacing' seems to be a good name for this function.

already present on todo list :)

@MichaelAnders
it isn't a big issue forcing overcrop, but doing so the Aspect Rate Error will be bigger.
I can suggest to confront encoding (do a crf 21 encoding) done with standard crop and with forced mod16
Check the file size and quality, afaik should be very very similar
EDIT: added compulsory mod16 autocrop

anyway added in todo list

@kretin
yea, just 2 night at home.. and i have sleep a total of 8 hours...

@AKarpo

every script as a <level> tag, just write here 3.1

@buzzqw

Thank YOU for fixing them!

4 should happen only when changing container.. (and this isn't to change)

Hm, I never changed the container, I switched it to AVI/XVID, Audio to Lame 128 cbr and saved this as default setting. After importing an input-videofile the Lame bitrate jumps to 112 (and sometimes the cbr goes back to abr).
If I try the same with a different cantainer (MKV/x264) as default setting, everything's ok. Again, the bitrate jumps to 112 after loading an input file, not after changing the container (I didn't do this).
Anyway this is not a BIG problem for me. I just needs some additional clicks...:rolleyes:

26th February 2008, 18:03

a wierd little glitch that I found...

no matter what I set the encoding profile to, WM9 encoder randomly decides when to do 1-2 passes. Is there anyway to 100% guarantee only 1 pass? The only options i change are "specify bitrate" and "manual crop"

I also have a question about the changefps function...

most of the movies I have are 29.9xxx fps. is it possible to change the fps to 25 to save space? and would i use "convertFPS" or "changeFPS" (i want to save time too)

i'll recheck

@Cyrus221
usually selecting 1 pass profile

most of the movies I have are 29.9xxx fps. is it possible to change the fps to 25 to save space? and would i use "convertFPS" or "changeFPS" (i want to save time too)
yes, it's possible but highly not recommed.
if is 29.97 it's probably to ivtc to 23.976

Is there a way that you can get the subtitle function to use .srt subs instead of .idx? I have a Popcorn Hour that I use to play my .mkv files and as of right now it does not support .idx/.sub files. But it does support .srt subs.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

@jason288
First of All Welcome to the Forum!

AutoMKV directly support only .idx/sub , that because is unable to OCR these subs in srt files.

BUT in automkv you can add external subtitle (using ... near subtitle list). So if you manually rip sub AND ocr it to srt subs you can add it without problem

Thanks for the answer. I will mess around and see what I can do. :)

On to some bad news. I think I have found a bug. When I am ripping TV shows I like to include the subs. If I queue up some shows, the subs don't get ripped. But if I do each rip by hand then the subs do get ripped. This is using the same settings. I have also checked in the queued jobs tab and it says in there that I have selected subs to be ripped. Any ideas about this?

MichaelAnders

@MichaelAnders

yes

out_width =

there is something strange however..., i don't see compression test result, neither resmovie.avs...
do you have specified manual crop and resize ?
you didn't do only autocrop because the height is 576 ...

please write here if you have used manual crop, manual crop&resize, what resizer specified ...

BHH
Reproduced it again just now:

Resizer: None (I figured that "None" would just cut of the edges and not do anything else?)
Set Width Resolution: Automatic
Filters: None

buzzqw

27th February 2008, 21:49

@jason288

source file are on dvd /ifo ?

@MichaelAnders
ok, fixed

BUT NONE resizer MEAN that no resizer are applyed , no at all

and Automatic as Width is to use when you want to do a compression test , so automkv will determine the "automatic" width and height... so .. using Automatic AND None is a non-sense.
If you want NO resize, just select NONE as resize.
If you want AutoCrop the black bars ONLY just select a Resizer, BUT as Width AutoCrop Only

I also have a question about the changefps function...

most of the movies I have are 29.9xxx fps. is it possible to change the fps to 25 to save space? and would i use "convertFPS" or "changeFPS" (i want to save time too)

yes, it's possible but highly not recommed.
if is 29.97 it's probably to ivtc to 23.976

You can only Inverse Telecine (http://www.doom9.org/ivtc-tut.htm) if the original movie was shot at 24 fps (see History (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine)).
If you load up your movie into DGIndex and save project... it'll tell you the percentage of FILM (if any).

It should be over 95% for best results. Some encoding apps automatically implement IVTC where possible.

On these forums we're not really big on what's better or best (rule 12) (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) .
It really depends on what you're looking for... better/best is meaningless outside the context of your personal needs/wants and desires.

I used Staxrip so long ago that I can't remember much except I found it did the job acceptably. Although I know after trying both (and other GUI's) I liked AutoMKV as it aligned well to my skill level, worked well "out of the box" so to speak while providing advanced settings I could grow into, and has very active development & support.

Most people here try out various GUI's and settle on what they like the best - which invariably is different than many others - if that wasn't the case, there would only be one actively used and developed GUI at any point in time.

Now that WGA strike is over there is need for 720p WMV encoding again. Some first impressions on the .95 AMKV:

What happened to "force PAR in avs"-dialog? Abducted by aliens? (xvid DVD rips too) .. WMV command line now shows proper time to go and so forth.. but hangs up hard after encoding! Have to kill it from task manager!

Or that's what happened 1st time.

I am running WinXP and when I run automkv where the destination file is on the network (my media server) it puts all the temp files on the network too. Which means it stops everytime it runs one of those vbs or batch files and ask me if I want to proceed.

Is there anyway to tell it to put the temp files on another local drive?

Ok, so it "should" be automatic now. I did a DVB capture encoding to xvid and at least that was not flagged so that either mpc or xbmc would show it 16:9 without forcing. Do you set the PAR for xvid or only container aspect ratio?

As for WMV, I'm just reporting what I'm seeing. The text window DOES hang when it completes. At least for me, for couple of different files. This happens when you get an error as well.

Encode is fine, just when the window should close it hangs. Pressing enter, CTRL-C or whatever doesn't seem to do anything.

Ed: Oh and the GUI for WMV bitrate in "original" seems to be broken. The slider doesn't change the bitrate.

Hm. Looks like I had (again) some problems in the filter chain. Grabbed latest Haali and ffdshow and adjusted settings in ffdshow. Funny how the filters seem to get out of whack even when you don't touch anything. I guess this time blame goes to bundled nero with DVD drive.

About this wmv hang. It does. Definitely. I tried it from command line with same result. I did some vbscript writing of my own recently, but I don't think I installed anything. I was looking for a free vbs debugger but gave up and just wrote messages to myself from the code..

I got the wmv script from the site just to make sure it was not corrupted with no change. I suppose the problem is something on my box or maybe just because I upgraded the cpu from A64 to A64 X2 and this is something that always happened with dual core..

I'm having a problem with the de-interlacer.

Specifically, I'm ripping my anime DVDs to WMV, 2 channel, 90 quality. I've had no problems with sound or video, except that the built in de-interlacer isn't doing a good job. So I check "HQ Deint". This does a much better job at anime.

HOWEVER: When I save setting to use HQ Deint by default, the programs always uses the built in Deint, even though the HQ box is still checked. Also, if I set up a queue, with all episodes to use HQ deint, only the 1st episode uses it, and the rest use the built in deinterlacer.

Make sure your logged in as an admin on both machines and that you have full permissions/rights on both the local drive and network drive.

Hi buzzqw!

I have finally managed to do anamorphic xvid encodes that even mplayer classic is able to play with the correct DAR. I use CQ profile, force PAR in avs by 10:7 and use FFmpeg with force muxing DAR in 16:9 for muxing.

But FFmpeg is not muxing the audio stream (i selected copy AC3 audio) from the main menu.

Is FFmpeg just not capable to do that?

Sorry if this has already been answered or i missed something in the changelog...

Best regards,

So about this WMV audio bug. It seems that the audio settings are only updated when you select "WMV" from the audio track pulldown. I made some 5-hour encodings that ended up stereo because you have to click again on "WMV" after you select "Original". Meh.

It shouldn't be necessary to use FFMPEG. You should get the actual xvid decoder and use it to decode xvids. In the xvid decoder settings you can specify which aspect ratio to use. Default setting is (I think) Auto/use external, which uses the container AR. Of course avi doesn't support aspect ratio so you want to change that to auto/use MPEG-4 which reads the AR from the xvid.

DIEGO7-5

2nd March 2008, 19:06

Thanks Barleyman,

I´ve tried all the muxers available in AutoMKV and the only muxer capable of signalling the correct apect ratio seems to be FFmpeg.

Why?

Because it writes an MPEG stream header before the actual file.

But i am missing the audio (copy AC3 from menu "Basic settings") and that is what i am asking for.

Where is the audio?

FFmpeg does not seem to be able to mux it.

Buzz?

PS: all actual encoders/decoders are used as suggested and i can still help myself with avimux gui because the FFmpeg AR signalling does not get lost in the final mux. But it would be nice to just "set it and forget it".

Barleyman

2nd March 2008, 20:02

I have done a ton of anamorphic dvd-rips with ac3/dts audio. Actually it's more or less my fault the xvid anamorphic support is in automkv! I should just figure out how to make it work in the brave new "auto" world, since xvid doesn't know anything about accurate aspect ratios, it only knows four (?) different aspect ratios. But practically you only ever need 4:3 and 16:9.

As for audio, check the automkv wiki settings again and make sure ffdshow ac3 codec is enabled and that you do not have audio volume mixer enabled (it mixes audio back to stereo unless you have 5.1 setup!) .. Gspot is handy to check the job is done by the actual filters and codecs you'd think.

But if you insist using ffmpeg, I can't help you there. Never used it.

This seems to be a problem with the audio delay stuff and "copy original".
Handle in mux or use delay in soundout = automkv barfs on you.

If you use delaycut (the classic way) it seems to work fine.

Again, no guarantees whatsoever for ffmpeg :-)

By the way.. WMV encoder uses all the cpu cores you have. Xvid_encraw does not. Is there a way to get dual or quad core processing enabled? It seems to me the h.264 also doesn't use more than 1 core..
Just ran a test sample here on Core 2 Duo WinXP system and Xvid_encraw was using between 40% and 75% - so it's using both cores, just not fully (maybe it doesn't need to).
When you mention h.264, do you mean x264 within AutoMKV? On my system x264 consistently uses 96-99% if I'm not running anything else.

Try to use the threat-parameter. I did some tests and found out, that for my C2Duo "3" ist the best choice (xvidencraw). With this my processor uses 60-80% and encodings are very fast. After increasing the parameter (4-6) the processor uses 90-95% BUT it takes longer time to finish the encoding-process. So high processor-use does NOT always mean fast encoding!

Basically, the movie (both audio and video) is a LOT of .m2ts files, and that's it, no indication files, like with DVDs, or nothing...

have you installed avisynth ?

Also, is there a way to add 3 audio tracks to a matroska container?
you can select 1, 2 or ALL audio tracks.. not 3

@ buzzqw:

I joined the forum the day after your son was born, since i was not allowed to post then, and i've been away til now, here's what i wanted to say:

"Congrats also from here! After years of xvid i just discovered AutoMKV yesterday, and having done my first x264 movie i kinda start feeling reborn too ;)

First i gotta say the program is really great, thanks a lot, i have two questions though (being new to the whole thing, i hope i'm not repeating)

Is it possible to make the program window resizeable? Im having text cut off, and at certain items i got a feeling there is some second line hidden underneath the next object.. since i wouldn't mind a larger window, having it resizable would be great.

Secondly: What do you think about a checkbox "redo last job", something in a way complemental to "prepare phase only" (afaiu)? When changing your mind in the middle of video-encoding, or trying out different parameters on a certain film, it would really be comfortable not having to wait for all the indexing, demuxing, analyzing and audio stuff all over again, by just using the old stuff with one click. (As for now i know i could specify external audio, for the rest i don't know (yet), still, that's why i said "with one click")

OK thanks again for your work, i hope you get some sleep these days, eheh ;)"

First of All Welcome to the Forum!

Congrats also from here!

thanks.. thanks.. it's an hard work.. :p

are you using peculiar dpi /monitor ? anyway i will look at this!

"redo last job
and when to click ? in the middle of a job ? .. so it' like a abort/resume... better to close automkv and restart.. sorry but this isn't a easy task to do... :o

Got it to work, thanks buzzqw.

Does anyone know an app that I can add to Media Center to control audio and subtitle tracks? I'm guessing there is no way in Media Center, but maybe there is....?

AdAstra

5th March 2008, 00:51

and when to click ?

I meant more like after aborting a job. So in the next try you check this box meaning everything stays the same exept for video options (like for example switching codec profile). Anyway was just an idea... :D

haali media splitter is able to switch audio tracks and subtitle languages... but is better to use with a decent player like media player classic or zoomplayer

REQUEST:

Add 15000,1001 and 12000,1001 to list of built-in FPS settings.

15000,1001 is very useful for killing half of the largely useless frames in NTSC "talking head" documentaries and blurry hand-cam travelogue DVDs; and 12000,1001 will remove redundant progressive frames in 12fps anime.

Hi all,

I just discovered AutoMKV recently and am amazed at the results I'm getting. Great job!!!

I don't know if I have to set up a separate thread anywhere, but I've got a little problem. I'm currently re-encoding episodes of a TV show (Flight of the Conchords) which is fom a PAL DVD.

I haven't touched the setting in the deinterlacer at all, but I'm noticing some really nasty motion artefacts. Static scenes are OK, but when there's motion going on the picture is stuttering all over the place.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? If you need any further information please let me know...and if this is the wrong thread, I apologise.

Thanks for all comments!

@Aylwin

please open the movie.avs in virtualdub, what is the error?I get the following error:

TFM: d2v frame count does not match filter frame count (146280 vs 146281)!
(movie.avs, line 71)

Any idea how to fix this?

@Roscoe62

You could try selecting "HQ Deint" on the "Advanced Settings" tab to see if that does a better job. Otherwise you will need to specify the de-interlacing manually by selecting Interlaced and specifying Field Order as TFF or BFF (you can load it into dgindex and press F5 which will show you). You log from the failed conversions should show you whether it detected TFF or BFF also.

I had the same problem with some extras on a TV Series DVD and only way to get it to come out ok was to manually specify it.

As I understand it, currently there are cases where the detection can't decide whether it's interlaced or not (e.g. approx 50% seems interlaced and 50% progressive) and so it doesn't apply interlacing. There's been some discussion and preferences put forward by some earlier in this thread and buzzqw has it on his "to do" list to look at an improvement here.

BUG ...... in the Queue, but hopefully easy to address without being PITA.

Job 0 - AQ strength & AQ sensitivity set to non zero (e.g. 5 / 20)
Job 1 - AQ strength & AQ sensitivity set to zero (or blank)

Settings are correctly saved in queueX.ini files (blank settings are saved as 0).

Job 0 runs with AQ settings (5 / 20) read from queue0.ini and used correctly
Job 1 runs with AQ settings from previous job.

It seems that if AQ settings are zero in the queueX.ini then it doesn't overwrite any settings that may exist from the previous job.

Hi,

I saw some long threads about making movies exactly 16:9 to fully occupy screen of my TV but I have not understood much of what being said.
What I want to do is for any conversion I would be making (MKV-->DivX, DVD--DivX) is it possible to not having any black bars on top for any content which is wider then 16:9?
I don't care if some parts of the movies will be missing becouse of that, all I want is to maximize my viewing size. I can do it on TV but don't want to mess with remote control and switch back and forth.
:helpful:

This is easiest to do with a virgin anamorphic DVD source. If the file has already been hacked to a DivX previously, it may be much harder to do because you'll need another program to add the black bars back in. 'Not to mention the loss of quality again.

Quick question here, I did a search and didn't find anything. But I am ripping all my Family Guy DVDs to .mkvs. For some reason they have split up the episodes so that on this particular dvd 3 episodes are in 1 pgc and 3 more are in another pgc. I can rip the 3 that are the longest but I can get at the other ones. Is there a way that I can pick what pgc I want to rip from without having AutoMKV do it for me?

fateman

6th March 2008, 17:51

You can't choose PGCs on the right where it has the time in the drop down?

jason288

6th March 2008, 19:51

Maybe I explained it wrong, I can choose 3 of the episodes but not the other 2.

For example: FAMILY_GUY_VOL4_D1 has 2 episodes in VTS_05 and 3 episodes in VTS_06. AutoMKV automatically selects VTS_06 cause its the longest. I want to be able to tell it to use VTS_5 only so I can get those last 2 episodes. I have used DVD Decrypter to rip single episodes and then encode from there but something happens to the subtitles and they dont get ripped/sync correctly when you do it this way.

buzzqw

6th March 2008, 20:11

if your episodes are on different vts, do this:
start automkv, go in advanced settings and check use this ifo
go in input button and select vts_05_0.ifo...

I've tried to backup certain dvd movie. Disk is scratched and there are read errors both in dvd-drive and standalone player. That's actually reason for the backup. So i copied movie to hdd with dvddecrypter, told it to skip read error. Than i attacked rip with latest automkv. Set all parameter up and start it, but at the beginning, when automkv copy vob to its working directory i got error "PGCDEMUX: error reading source vob: not syncronized" (or something like this). I guess it was because error during grabbing? And than automkv encoded only part of movie, which were copied before this error. Any workaround?

select the first vob (usually vts_01_01.vob) and not the ifo...

Thanx. There are few titles in these vobs. Automkv pick them all, but i want only one of them.

But i guess i may decrypt it in ifo-mode, not file-mode.

Hi all

Since it's my 1st post, would like to thank you for the time and effort you put into AutoMkv. I started with MkvMagic and now switched over to AutoMkv. Both excellent programs, :thanks:.

To help you improve it, here are the issues that i've stumbled upon (no party crashers though):

Versions: win xp sp2 / automkv 0.95d / avisynth 2.57

Bugs?:
1) audio temp files deleted even though "Del Temp File" not selected (ac3, wav)

2) all supporting programs (except for x264 encoder) are executed in normal priority not idle, even though I manually set AutoMkv to idle prio (I'm running app as normal user so NOT admin)

3) two entries of "RIP ALL SUBS" in first subs drop down combobox, one should suffice

4) when selecting "RIP ALL SUBS", altought subs are ripped, they don't get included in final mp4, looks like a command line problem (from muxing.bat):
"D:\Progs\AutoMkv\exe\matroska\MP4Box.exe" -add "D:\Download\Temp\Dvd\Test\temp\movie.264": par=1.758242 -chap "D:\Progs\AutoMkv\exe\chapters.txt" -add "D:\Download\Temp\Dvd\Test\temp\movie t80 2_0ch 192kbps delay 17ms.mp4:lang=und" -add "D:\Download\Temp\Dvd\Test\temp\Test.idx#2" -fps 29.9700 -new "D:\Download\Temp\Dvd\Test\temp\Test_full.mp4"
idx contains only 1 single sub(index=0) there is no sub with index 2 so the index is wrongly set

5) # of threads not saved (already reported I think)

6) AQ strength & sensivity not properly initialized on application load (showing as 0 & 0 in command line window at bottom) altough restored corretly if in "Adv. X264 Options" section a "Reload Profile" is performed

Thanks again. And hope this helps :helpful:.

is it possible with automkv to have it automatically put the computer to sleep after completing the queue? if not specifically is there a way to have it run a command that would accomplish same: rundll32 powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

@jult

check log.. also open the movie.avs in virtualdub.. got errors ?I'm not using any AVS filtering for this. (You should add an option to disable avs entirely, and just let it be staxrip on steroids..)
Vdub says on temp\movie.avs:

Avisynth open failure:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\Base\V\AutoMKV\exe\filter\FFMpegSource.dll"
(B:\temp\movie.avs, line 15)

Here's the log (ffmpeg even crashed on me just now!).
Strange thing is, the source avi for this is a x264 lossless. One would assume x264 understand its own videos!

Also, I prefer --me esa and do --nr 50 so I use my own profile/commands for x264 (which it did not use.. :( ):

I'm having a problem with setting a custom filesize. I'm converting DVD's to MKV's. I try to set it to 4gb but the filesize always ends up much bigger. I tried inputting both 4000 and 4000000 in the custom file box but no luck.

I'm using:
- HighQuality_Slower
- Lanczos resize
- Auto width
- Anamorphic

Any ideas?
Thanks

I have a very newbie question, I guess..
I have encoded a few dvd's with autoMKV 0.95c, exactly like the guide at http://www.kayakingcoach.com/GUIDE.htm.
With MPC HC 1.1.0.0 I have perfect sound, perfect subtitle but NO picture...
Is this a problem with MPC HC or the encoding by automkv?
Where shall I start searching for the problem?:confused:

Some cropping complaints -

I have DVB captures with black bars. Sometimes even several as BBC had this brilliant idea about "compromise" aspect ratio of 15:10 (or something like that)

So now when I hit preview, I can pause the video, relocate it to suitable position and I can set good mod8 crop values.

However, the SIZE value is NOT updated and .95c plonks the original (or stretched for anamorphic) value to the "specify width x height" boxes. Also "autocrop and autoresize"-box is ticked.

So if I interpret all that correctly, I'd get black bars cropped (good) and then UPSCALED back to original resolution possibly messing the AR (bad)

Ticking "manual crop" box and unticking "crop + resize" forgets the values in the boxes. Minor but annoying inconvenience.

Barleyman

9th March 2008, 22:38

Another annoyance:

The test deint fires two x264 passes to determine if we're interlaced or not. So far so good. However, 2nd pass is sloooow, like 15 minutes!

Also the CPU of X2 athlon is only used by about 25-30% (http://personal.inet.fi/koti/ohramies/2008/interlace.png)

correct. Just simply scale down resolution to what you want

nothing much to do. Deinterlacer process is a 2 pass work. On first is determined if frame is tff/bff, the second determine the pattern (interlaced or not).
The second work actually cannot be faster.. but i can keep busy all cpus if you want (it's a matter of analyze a bigger resolution..., you will not get a better analysis but all cores will be busy)

@buzzqw

Would it be possible to integrate support for a third audio track. As for some files I would need to have such a third track. It looks like it is not impossible as my search showed me that AutoGK or MEGui do have the possibility to use more than two audio tracks. But I wouldn´t be surprised if this was a awful lot of work to program and therefore it is left out. It is a question out of curiosity.

I´ve got another question regarding the useable codecs. Is there a possibility to use the divx codec for the processing of files with AutoMKV and if not here comes my noob question.

@all
Is there any quality difference at all between DivX 6.8 Pro and the current Xvid release? As I heard there was none, but since then the DivX encoder evolved from 6.3 to 6.8.

Unfortunately I am not that familiar with encoding so pleas forgive me that possible noob question.

Edit: How can I use a "custom Profile" where I can set main parameters like bitrate. I.E. is there a profile where I can check a specific bitrate instead of an quantitizer? If not, what quantitizers could be recomended for Xvid and x264 encoding a DVD source file? BTW did i get it right, the lower the quantitizer number the higer the bitrate and the quality.

One more question is there any benefit in the quality/size ratio if I am using 1 - pass CBR compared to two pass encoding if there is no need to meet a specific filesize?

@Barleyman
correct. Just simply scale down resolution to what you want

I don't know if the crop window-applet is something you wrote, but wouldn't it be more logical the size would automagically adjust to whatever value you cropped the video to?

OK, of course I can adjust the size but I guess I'd rather play safe and enter the values again to the crop boxes after choosing "crop only" ..

nothing much to do. Deinterlacer process is a 2 pass work. On first is determined if frame is tff/bff, the second determine the pattern (interlaced or not).

BHH

Seems a bit counterintuitive it can't be faster.. What's the actual holdup here? Analysis filter?

I suppose fastest way remains using eyeball mk1 to check the video manually. Broadcast flags and DVD flags seem to be nonsense more often than not, unfortunately.

Going back to xvid multicore for a bit, does the default of "0" threads use some kind of autodetect by xvid_encraw?

next version (0.96) will have support for DivX! (6.8 pro)

yea, that's for sure. Deinteralce analysis isn't perfect but do it's job, and will not spend more then 10 minutes

yes, 1 thread for logical processor

You might consider a slightly more "hands-on" approach by manually demuxing the extra tracks or manually encoding the audio with BeSweet/BeLight and muxing (http://www.kamiwa.de/node/4) your preferred choice.

It's also an opportunity to finetune your encoding skills.

And why your program doesn’t read the audio steam list from file? I’ve got MKV film with ENG and RUS audio tracks, so to convert all this into avi I have had to unpack mkv in video, eng audio and Russian audio files (3files) and then all this add in you prog.

Why do you want to use AVI? It's very limited and outdated. MKV and MP4 are better in almost every way.

. Assuming all other settings (filters, etc) remain the same, will a 2-Pass of output size XYZmb be of discernibly higher quality than a CQ of size XYZmb? (IOW, am I getting anything for tripling the encoding time?)

simply NO.

100% quality mean all quant at 2, so will be not possible (without tweaking the profile) to get better quality, even if in 2 pass profile you double the final size

Why there is no possibility to put x264 in Avi container?
it's not correct. x264 loose much of it's potential in avi.
you can also read the sticky of mpeg4-avc forum

And why your program doesn’t read the audio steam list from file?

actually isn't supported. from avi/mkv/mp4 stream only the first audio is processed.
maybe in a future update

And what is the matter with any quant above 2 or 100% quality - lets say with 75% quality? Will there be a difference. I am just wondering as I am not that familiar with encoding. But as exact filsize is not that important to me the next thing to decide up on is time taken for coding.

So thank you for an answer.

So thank you for an answer.

If you do a single pass at 75% and get the filesize then use that filesize to do a two pass the results should be better. But, I have tried it many, many times and I don't see any difference whatsoever. So it appears that it does not make enough difference to notice. I do all my encoding, like many others, in single pass.

Hey buzz, have a suggestion for you!

Is there anyway you can ungrey the input area? It would be Sooooooo much easier to que files! I usually have all my files as 01, 02, 03, etc etc, but having to que > add > find file is much more monotonous than just replacing a single digit in the input box and hitting the 'add que' button. Thanks man, your work is top notch!

Is there anyway that I can not reencode the video using the GUI? I'm just trying to mux it into MP4, hardsub the video and reencode the audio only.
Yes you can not encode the video but have the subs extracted and audio processed by ticking Prepare Phase Only on the advanced settings tab.
BUT You can't burn the subs into the video without re-encoding it, so you have no choice but to re-encode fully (regardless of what software you use).

Please help....
The log window said that the job was finished but I could not find any output :(
I have the option of "deleting the Temp files after the job"- enabled.
Where is the output?

06:16:35 Final Muxed size: -1 bytes

No muxed output produced - there was apparently a problem during muxing as it does appear from the log that the audio and video output files were created. You could've tried muxing them manually, BUT, they're now gone.

Moral of the Story - Don't tick "Del Temp File".

With a recent change to AutoMKV there's really no good reason to use the delete temp files option as even in batch mode now there's no problems re-using the same temp directory - it's cleared before each job is run.

Suppose, in AutoMKV, I perform an XviD single pass at CQ3 with "100% Quality" checked in advanced settings. I then note the resultant file-size and enter it in the output size box for a 2-Pass "Insane Quality".

Q. Assuming all other settings (filters, etc) remain the same, will a 2-Pass of output size XYZmb be of discernibly higher quality than a CQ of size XYZmb? (IOW, am I getting anything for tripling the encoding time ?)

simply NO.
If you do a single pass at 75% and get the filesize then use that filesize to do a two pass the results should be better.

Well... strictly speaking, 2-pass should be worse than "1-pass CQ" !

2-pass keeps looking over it's shoulder to maximise the quality without over-running the bitrate (CQ has no worries).
The result is that overall the quality is the same... but probably with 99% consistency... some sections have more quality while others have less.
2-pass is a bit like communism... always trying to share equally but never quite succeeding.

CQ gets it right the first time !

Thanks for your reply...

Ok, I shall try to redo the job without deleting the TEMP files. But will it guarantee an output as because the main problem remains unanswered still, why is there no Final Output produced? It seems that log is not throwing light in that direction. :confused:

And how can the Temporary files could be muxed? Sorry, but this is the first time I am attempting a X264 conversion.

Any help...?

Nothing can be done on that front....I really do not plan to change the folder name as that will force me to change every Shortcut manually....and there are quite a lot. :eek:

@arrirc

buzzqw's response explained the why - "mp4box dislike dots"

I know when I use mkv container, there is a batch file "muxing.bat" in the temp directory that I could run (or edit first as need be). Not sure about mp4 container though as I don't use it.

Why not just make an exception for AutoMKV, moving it to a different folder.

If you're going to stick with using a folder with dots in it then you're going to keep having this problem - likely regardless of which GUI you use as quite a lot of them use mp4box for the muxing as I understand it.

news on new update

as you may know i am quite busy with my new baby, but i don't forgot my friendly users!

0.96 is on the right way, i have done some bugfixing and introduced support for divx 6.8
i also have changed (again... and if not good i will totally remove the support) the wmv encoding
now is based on vc1encoder (based on free vc1 sdk), so no more direct profile for wmv7,wmv8,wmv9 or zune profile.
WMV will have the standard profiles, AND actually NO 1 pass or Constant quality profiles, since vc1 sdk is broken and not allow 1 pass/constant quality encoding :confused: :mad:

I wil also have introduced surely more bugs.. but i hope not to much

some users as requested support for building bluray disk.. i actually prefer (for my ps3) "simple" m2ts files... but if many users are interested i will look how to support this muxing

best regards

Ok, after de selecting the option to delete the TEMP folder, I did get the output but it was without any Audio :confused:

I have chosen AAC Original in the Audio Options.

One thing I should mention here, and that is after downloading the Codec from NERO official Site, I could not find any dll file as mentioned in the Guide, instead there are 4 exe files under the win32 directory.

Sorry, but I have accidentally deleted the Log File after the process failed, but I can confirm this that I have selected the Right Audio track and it was demuxed and stored in the folder where the output was to be saved.

Could the Developer please tell me why I did not get the Audio? :eek::confused:

:thanks:

My setup stopped encoding - not sure why. I have the source VOBs running from a USB drive...

I could try reinstalling things, but I can't see from the log what the problem is. Anybody have an idea?

Please let me know:

What should be the Settings under Deinterlacer options? The source is progressive, I ran the analysis. Under Deinterlacer> Deinterlacer, I have chosen NONE. But I have no idea what to choose under Deinterlacer> Field Order and Deinterlacer> Cust. Matrix.

Please suggest....

(Tried to consult Wiki, but could not find any info...sorry)

zacoz

15th March 2008, 05:39

@arrirc

My understanding is that if you have a progressive source and have chosen either Progressive or None (doesn't matter which really) then the other fields are irrelevant. Never caused a problem for me anyway.

arrirc

15th March 2008, 06:13

Yes Zacoz, you have understood it correctly. :)
So the Diinterlace> Deinterlace part simply specifies the type of source- right?

There is one more problem I have encountered, it seems to be almost impossible to edit a Job already added in the que. I see at the bottom of the program window "computing file size in MB", and then nothing happens. :O

yes, for an unknow source users must select AUTO.. BUT if you know your source, you can specify all parameters

yes, for an unknow source users must select AUTO.. BUT if you know your source, you can specify all parametersSomething that I'm curious about with de-interlacing. If the source is NTSC 29.97, then the de-interlaced output is 23.976. That's fine. Sometimes though the AUTO settings simply can't seem to de-interlace correctly so then I need to check using VirtualDub and after that manually specify the Deinterlacer and Field Order parameters in AutoMKV.

Question: Why is the output still 29.97? Why not 23.976? Am I doing something wrong? Or is this normal behavior?

buzzqw

15th March 2008, 11:03

If the source is NTSC 29.97, then the de-interlaced output is 23.976

only if deinterlacer falg it as to ivtc, or you manually select FILM or Decimating
moreover for 29.97->23.976 isn't to specify field order

in 0.96 will be added a "safe" deinteralcer, it will be the same procedure as Auto deinterlacer, but with a low threashold, so deinterlacer will be easily triggered

I've got a DXVA question re: H264 trans-codes with AutoMKV.

I have some video I'm transcoding, it's DVD, soft-telecined, progressive content at 16:9. I'm using x264 with CRQ-20, no resize.

If I choose "Force Muxing DAR" to be 16:9, the video will not support DXVA using MPC-HC and it's internal decoder.

If I choose "Auto" for the "Force Muxing DAR" option, then the DXVA is supported, but the aspect ratio comes out at 1.50:1, instead of 16:9.

I posted over in the MPC-HC thread too, I hate to cross-post, but I'm not sure where the problem lies.

I'm using AutoMKV .95D and MPC-HC build 460 and the latest version of ReClock. ATI HD2600 XT, CCC 8.3.

If I choose "Auto" for the "Force Muxing DAR" option, then the DXVA is supported, but the aspect ratio comes out at 1.50:1, instead of 16:9.

thanks

I meant to offer congratulations earlier on your new addition. I too recently have a new little boy. A wonderful joy, to be sure.

Okay, here's the log. I tested this one again, DXVA works but the aspect ratio shows as 1.50:1 in the Haali Splitter Property Page and MPC-HC in "default" shows it the same. You'll note this run included a trim(0,8000).

with no selected resize and resizer automkv have some diffuculties to determie the correct ar

also if aspect ratio is 16/9, why you select 720*480 ? isn't 16/9
should be 720*400

anyway , please do retry (with same option) butchecking in advanced setting "anamorphic encoding"

thanks

Hi, buzzqw. Hope you're getting some sleep:-)

When do you think the subtitles/missing mkv issue will be fixed? Not a huge deal, but I just ran across it again with Fanny and Alexander, and now I have pretty much only subtitled movies left to rip. It broke with the previous buid, I think.

Here is the old link: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1097010#post1097010

Hmmm, I never selected anything, I thought that was all coming from DGIndex?

Anyway, here is the log with "Anamorphic" checked, "Force Muxed DAR" = Auto.

In this case, DXVA is not working but the AR is correct and plays back correctly.

BTW, note that I'm using an "M2V" as the input. This was created with the PGCDemux tool. Not sure if that matters or not.

HTH, Thanks.

@noee

ok, do it
set your encode as usuall BUT not check anamorphic encoding AND set RESIZER = Lanczos and WIDTH=720

i hope better news :)

@arrirc

Can you post your resmovie.avs files?

Do you get an error if you open resmovie.avs in virtualdubmod?

Strangely on your second log post there is over 5 1/2 hours gap between resize testing commencing and the error being thrown. :confused:

Very Sorry...:(, I could not locate the avs file, I even tried to locate it using the search function.

But I have got the exactly same error when I have used IFO as the input. :o

just a note.. i saw megui on folder name

megui use an older version of dgindex (not compatible).. so try redo the d2v with dgindex bundled with automkv and reprocess the video

in 0.96 will be added a "safe" deinteralcer, it will be the same procedure as Auto deinterlacer, but with a low threashold, so deinterlacer will be easily triggeredThis is great. I'm looking forward to testing it. I have a few of these "stubborn" DVD's.

@buzzqw

Feature Request: The ability to load a specific chapters file (rather than being forced to use \AutoMKV\exe\chapters.txt) with the reference to the file saved and reloaded from the queueX.ini file. This would enable me to use a different chapter set for each job placed into the queue. Presently I'm stuck with only using one set of chapters per queue when processing my DVB captures.

Even leaving the queue aside it would enable me to have a pre-set selection of chapter files that I can easily chose from depending upon the length of my DVB source. E.g. presently I have the following text files saved for cut and paste use:
- fixed 5 min chapters: 0 - 40 mins (for std TV series)
- fixed 5 min chapters: 0 - 45 mins (for slightly longer TV series)
- fixed 10 min chapters: 0 - 2hr 30 mins (for movies - edit length to suit)

buzzqw

16th March 2008, 15:18

@zacoz

... done :)

you must create your chapters file with chapter editor (copy&paste from your sample) and then save where you want.
Adding this to queue will save your chapter position

When I try to encode TS files I have captured from my HD satellite card (h264) I get a message "no video sequence header found", "check PIDs". I seem to only have 1 PID to choose from though. Any idea what I can do to sort this out ? Thanks.

Atak_Snajpera

16th March 2008, 23:40

DgIndex does not support h264!

zacoz

17th March 2008, 08:28

@JonRead
It might be worth attempting to demux the TS file first and then feed the separate video, audio & subtitle files into AutoMKV. This is what I do with my DVB mpeg2 broadcasts as I also edit them to remove ads as part of the process.

Not sure whether this gets around Atak_Snajpera's observation or not.

17th March 2008, 08:32

@JonRead

Atak_Snajpera is correct!

you must wait next update (that will include dgavcdec) or, using 0.95c, check "Use DSS for A/V"

BHH

Couldn't tell you how many times I've tried taking h.264 .ts file and encoding to MKV, only to have this stop me. I still haven't figured out how to use dgavcdec to demux it and then save the seperate audio and video streams. Hopefully this will all be built in and automated in 0.96

i did a first install of AutoMKV095_NORIP, dependencies and the 'c' update. on every encode, i got an informational or warning dialog:

"xvid_encraw.exe
Unable To Locate DLL. The dynamic link library MSVCP80.dll could not be found in the specified path <path_for_the_user_i'm_running_as>."

the dialog has an OK button only. after clicking it, encoding would continue and finish successfully.

i found msvcp80.dll in C:\Program Files\AutoMKV 0\exe\Matroska\ on my system and added this directory to the path variable, which fixed the warning.

i noticed that automkv adds directories to the path variable dynamically and think the ..\Matroska\ directory needs to be added, too.

(win2k SP4, automkv 0.95c)

Hi,

I posted earlier about seeing a bunch of motion artefacts on an encode I'd done from a PAL DVD of a TV episode (Flight of the Conchords). Anyway, I took the suggestion of selecting HQ DeInt and while that certainly improved things the problem is still there. I also tried manually selecting Interlaced in the Deinterlacing dropdown box and specifying TFF (which is what DGIndex said). That didn't really make much of a difference. I'm scratching my head over this one and would be grateful for any suggestions.

I don't know if you need it or not, but here's the log...

So I have a weird problem and I have looked around and I cant find the answer for it. I have been archiving my Family Guy and Futurma DVDs to 720x480 mkv files. I have just now noticed that for some reason the aspect ratio on the finished rips is 1.5. So even though is supposed to be full screen for some reason it not. There are black bars along the top and the bottom.

For my settings I am using the following:
http://jason28.shackspace.com/Basic%20Settings.JPG
http://jason28.shackspace.com/Advanced%20Settings.JPG

Anyone see anything weird in there that would cause this to happen? Also I haven't made any changes to anything else on the other tabs.

@jason288
What is the display aspect ratio of the source?

You've chosen to use a width selection of "Original" which in fact uses both the original width and the original height - I'm guessing 720 x 480. If your source has an DAR greater than 1.5 (and you've chosen Original) then you must tick "Anamorphic Encoding" on the Advanced Settings tab. There's actually a message that appears in the status bar at the bottom to recommend this in such cases.

You may also wish to try width selection of either "Autocrop" or "720" which will apply the correct DAR (you can still chose anamorphic if you want). "Autocrop" will do as you might guess an autocrop of any black bars (and if necessary a slight resize to meet MOD4 I believe) - you'll likely end up with a width of say 716 (and a height appropriate for your source DAR). With "720" it will crop any black bars and resize to an exact 720 width (and a height appropriate for your source DAR).

If your shows are widescreen and you don't have an exact matching DAR widescreen TV/monitor then it's likely you will still have black bars top and bottom though, as to fill the screen completely would require changing the DAR - you'd likely end up with a picture stretched incorrectly in one direction.

Awesome...

I never considered fixing PAL movies in this way... I should imagine that 90% of all DVD's were actually shot at 24 fps (sped-up or telecined to 25 fps).

The space saving is minimal but the result is more original and correct.

Actually, I already overwrote those temp files. :p

I set up a d2v of the episode and used that for input instead. The job finished fine. So I'll have to wait till the next time I try using the IFO as input. I did notice on the first frame or two when I was making the d2v, I got frames saying "Content removed by DVDFab" so maybe there was some issue with the first VOB file.

I have a different question now. The project encoded but my media player does not recognize the aspect ratio on it's own. It reads the "derived" AR as 4:3, and the "source" as 16:10. The correct AR is 16:9. Is there a setting I need to check on the Advanced tab so the media player wont be confused as to what it is?

buzzqw

26th March 2008, 09:41

when dealying with no resize, please check Anamorphic Encoding on advanced settings, OR use Force Mux DAR

26th March 2008, 09:49

According to the wiki (http://automkv.a.wiki-site.com/index.php/Profiles), you have to turn on Anamorphic encoding to get the Force Mux DAR to do anything. I had already run a job on a short test d2v I made, only setting Force MUX but not Anamorphic encode, I got a VERY stretched (horizontally) picture.

What should I do if I have resizing on? I just tried with resizing and the final movie never came out. Running again at original with Anamorph + Force DAR to see if that works.

Edit: Nope. Still very stretched out.

I might be missing something but why would there be any space savings - wouldn't you be just changing the playback speed, not actually dropping frames?
You are quite right... an 1 hour 40 minute movie would merely be 4 minutes longer (filesize unchanged).

Increasingly, 2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3 pulldown (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine#2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3_pulldown) is being used to telecine 24fps film -> 25fps PAL and these movies could also benefit from a little reworking (IVTC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telecine#Reverse_telecine_.28a.k.a._IVTC.2Finverse_telecine.29)) ... eventhough the benefit is quite small (1/25 decrease in filesize).
This kind of telecine is generally used where sound quality is important... the faster frame speed causes a slightly noticeable increase in audio pitch (about 1 semitone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitone)).

It's the right thing to do !

Buzz, how do you getting the software to yield 23.976043fps on NTSC film output?

The reason I ask is because VirtualDub itself won't create that fps output when manually tinkered with. (E.g., my question in this thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=136311).)

27th March 2008, 08:16

well.. it's tdecimate that will bring film (29.97) to 23.976 (24000/1001)

And in virtualdub i don't pass the fps value, i just use it for muxing or audio encoding...

27th March 2008, 08:26

I'd love to see the following feature in ANY piece of software: Ability to take an existing .avi (or mkv, etc), direct stream-copy the video to a different standard (25, 23.976, 29.97, etc) without frame loss, all the while re-encoding the audio tracks to the new time as well -- and then box it all up back up perfectly synced at the end.

Basically, a tool that'd enable to one-step re-time all of those "tinny" PAL European DVDrips of Hollywood and Japanese films.

(Right now I can't easily do that because Vdub re-streams 25fps to 23.97625 while BeSweet goes to NTSC time ~ 23.976, meaning there's a noticeable sync error near the end of 2hr movies.)

The technique should only be used with sped-up PALs. (E.g., could someone *please* rip the vastly superior quality UK-release "Ladyhawke" DVD using the procedure?)

(In the case of 11:12 interleaving (AKA "2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:2:3 pulldown"], if you detelecine/deinterleave AND apply the assumed FPS, you'll actually end up with 22.99fps (Oops!); and if you apply assumed FPS but do not detelecine, then you'll get an interlaced mess, Either will have "bullfrog croaking" audio. -- So, the trick I describe above is only for PALs in which the audio is noticeably tinny.)

Hola again, been busy, so haven't had much of a time to followup recently.

In my quest to do as close to 1:1 mkv's of DVD material, I've had a thought.

The main case where I need cropping is in 2.35:1 DVDs, if it's a regular 16:9, or 4:3, I can just do as "original".

The problem I have is that if I use autocrop with them, AutoMKV insisits on running it through a resize filter, when if all I'm doing is cropping the black bars, it doesn't need to, let the player do the resize. This means for instance if I do 2 anamorphic encodes of a 2.35:1 dvd with default settings, where 1 is "autocrop" and the 2nd is "original", the "autocrop" version will actually be wider than the "original" version (And the original will match the DVD exactly).

Why can't we just have an option to "autocrop" vertically, leave the horizontal as is (so it should result in the same horizontle width as "original". We'll then encode the same amount of horizontle pixels + a couple of extra verticle pixels (assuming autocrop will have to leave a little black to get right divider) and we'd get basically a 1:1 encode.

or am I missing something still?

It's virtually impossible to (auto)crop without resizing... ... unless you are willing to crop in '16 line chunks' (maintain original PAR).
16:9 and 4:3 movies can also benefit from cropping in these cases where crop(evenside + evenside) >= 16.

A simple automatic implementation of "autocrop + original PAR" would be good but there is little concensus on cropping strategy.
Some people prefer to overcrop, others prefer to undercrop and still others fall into both categories by overcropping to a maximum of 2 lines.

It's probably best left to user discretion with manual cropping... unless user strategy could be implemented !

right, but even when I manually crop, it doesn't work out as I expect.

i.e. when I encode anamorh w/o a crop or resize i get a width of 853, when I vertical crop, the closest I get is 848. i.e. I'm loosing something.
Ok... so you're getting a width of 853 and 848 respectively, on playback (720 encoded).
Perhaps buzzqw could include an harmless autocrop with original PAR.

That really can't be helped. As soon as you start cropping you are forced into compromises.

To start with, your video's AR may not be exactly the 2.35:1 or 16:9 it purports to be
The AR can commonly include a recurring digit (e.g. 1.77777777...) that must be rounded to a certain number of decimal places - which could vary between applications involved in processing.
Your initial AR will no longer multiply out to exactly rounded pixel dimensions in both height & width once you crop, so as W & H can't include decimals then the AR is adjusted slightly so that they remain integers.
You need to remain within certain MOD limits for filters and encoders to function further exacerbating the above compromises
Other things I haven't thought of off hand

Ultimately the compromises that have to be made results in a slightly different AR which upon anamorphic playback gives you a slightly different display width (848 instead of 853). Unless you're overcropping then you're not actually loosing anything, just changing it's visual aspect ratio to a degree that's still imperceptible to the eye - I'm betting you can't tell visibly that the characters on the screen are 0.58% thinner than they are when viewing the source.

Honeyko

28th March 2008, 11:08

Some people prefer to overcrop, others prefer to undercrop and still others fall into both categories by overcropping to a maximum of 2 lines.I've actually done some tests, and have discovered that if cropped dimensions are then all upsized to the next MOD16 increment, then the resultant file will actually be slightly smaller than they'd be if encodred at MOD8 or MOD4.

So, if I have to crop 56T,60B,8L,0R off a 720x480 vob, yielding 712x364, I'll get a smaller file encoding it with 720x368 in "Specify Width / Height" than I would with 712x364 (MOD4), even though the MOD4 isn't resized at all.

zacoz

28th March 2008, 11:14

I expect that would be a byproduct of the resize filter wouldn't it- so mileage may vary depending upon the filter chosen.

28th March 2008, 18:08

To start with, your video's AR may not be exactly the 2.35:1 or 16:9 it purports to be

Actually the DVD 2.35 material is always (that I've seen) encoded with black bars so you're actually dealing exclusively with either anamorphic 16:9 material that needs to be stretched to fit to the TV width or you have 4:3 material that can stay as is.

IMO what the auto AR does is overthink the issue. I have had many videos made since it was introduced where you have to make the player stretch the video to 16:9 because the player won't recognize nonstandard AR flag. So it would be very useful to have the explicit "16:9" and "4:3" flags back as recognized by the PAR option..

So with 2.35 material you crop as you see fit, preferably staying with MOD16 or MOD8 constraints and the resulting video should be treated as if it was an anamorphic 16:9 i.e. stretched by 1/3rd.

Since the HD material is never anamorphic, that's the only anamorphic video source you need to be concerned with.. But it's pretty darn common one to be sure :rolleyes:

Because the project I'm doing only has one audio track and the subtitles are signs/text only. I've been trying it as an MP4 instead of an MKV. I've noticed a few things:

Muxing always fails without me manually tweaking the batch file first, because it is created with the subtitle track listed twice.

Also in my case I was having the subtitles burned in, so I didn't need the subtitle track included anyway (it was already in the .264 file as verified by playing it in VLC). So if the "burn subtitles" check is on, the sub should not be added to the batch.

The final file is not being made in the correct directory. It is created in the temp directory for the project, and the filename has "_full" appended to the end of whatever name was set back in AutoMKV.

The size is too large. I set for 1/4 CD and the final file is 200MB.

1) crop in 16 line chunks (x_evenside + y_evenside = n16 [x, y are left/right or top/bottom and n = positive integer]).
2) only crop black-space (no overcropping).

No resizing necessary.

I'll have to try again. I ran a job on a different episode when I went out tonight. When I got home I found the file had muxed fine and was in the right destination directory :confused: except there are no subtitles (not burned in and not included in muxing even though they are listed in the batch).

Here's the log for that one since the size was still wrong.

It would be a very mild autocrop but a good friend for 'original PAR'.

Hello, I'm just coming aboard.

I want to encode AVI files from my Sony digital camcorder with x264 in a MKV container for streaming to a Popcorn Hour player. AutoMKV looks like what I could use.

My first attempt with .95c gave disappointing results because of what looks like interlacing problems. I need help in setting the parameters.

The AVIs from the camcorder are Sony DV. Here's the file info:

What should I specify for Deinterlace parameters?
:thanks:

select Interlaced, BFF
shouldn't needed to set HQ Deint

BHH

P.S. with new version will be a "Safe" deinterlacer that will trigger more easily the Deinterlacer routines

Hi,

is there any way to keep the menues from the DVD's?

is there any way to keep the menues from the DVD's ?
MKV are working on a menu system for their container.
DivX have a menu system of sorts for their version of AVI.

However, no standalone menu exists for X264 or any of their supporting containers.

i left muxing.bat only for reference, AutoMKV will launch muxing directly not passing for bat (batch files have problem with special characters, cannot be longer then 430 (iirc)...)

When AutoMkv imports a dvd it generates a chapters.txt file

in new beta you can import and QUEUE chapter files from different folder

Question out of curiosity: what are the source VOB files some times copied over to temp dir and other times they are not ?

if vobs are on dvd automkv will rip the dvd (copyng vobs) and then process it, else the files are directly accessed and processed by dgindex

@buzzqw
I think what nx6 meant by his point 3 (as I've observed it as well) is that the actual muxing command used by AutoMkv and the one in muxing.bat are not exactly in sync.
The internal one puts the final file in source directory
Muxing.bat puts the final file in working directory (temp dir)

@blue2k8light
i left muxing.bat only for reference, AutoMKV will launch muxing directly not passing for bat (batch files have problem with special characters, cannot be longer then 430 (iirc)...)

There would still have to be an issue somewhere since I first noticed this on a job that did mux successfully. I didn't see a final file and went to look in the temp folder to see if anything had not been created (like the .264 file) it was at this point I noticed the a file with the same name as what I'd set the final movie to be (except "_full" added on). I played it and found it to be the file I was looking for. </waves hand like ObiWan>

I have only noticed this on the mp4 attempts.

I'll have to do some more encoding attempts in the future so I can track down if there is some unknown factor that causes it so I can give you more details, buzzq. Unfortunately, I need my machine's operating time free for doing backups of my existing video library right now (roommates like to not keep discs in cases and some are getting scratched up from lying around). Still 70 movies to make personal backups of.

Have you tried enclosing your movies within a container like WinZip (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIP_%28file_format%29) and including the CRC checksum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclic_redundancy_check) ?
It makes your files slightly larger but adds a level of protection against corruption (DVD scratches).

No I haven't done that. I will point out that adding a checksum will not "protect against corruption", it will only make it more easy to tell if there is any.

I guess it would have to include FEC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forward_Error_Correction) (Forward Error Correction)... as used by RAID (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID) or deepspace exploration systems like the Voyager program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program).

Hi ^^

First let me thank you for this wonderful tool!

Now to my problem...
I wanted to rip all my Anime DVDs to HD. Some anime DVDs are structured episodic others as one big episode.

I do the following steps to rip each episode on non structured DVDs:

1. Rip each episode with org. language and subtitles with DVDFab Decrypter (newest version)
2. load the ifo of the ripped episode in AutoMKV
3. Make my settings (select audio, subtitle, resizer, ..., check burn in subtitltes)
4. Encode (1/2 CD, better quality, mkv, x264)

Result:
first encoded episode has subtitles
all other episodes are not displaying any subs (I think the timing is off)

I think I'm doing something wrong in my process.
Can someone please give me some advice?
Thank you in advance!

buzzqw

7th April 2008, 09:24

all other episodes are not displaying any subs (I think the timing is off)

open in notepat the .idx file, you should see the timing

and automkv.. don't adjust timing (i suggest to use some subtitle tools to adjust it) :o

i may even suggest to rip/encode all episodes as one big file, then with mkvmerge split it in episodes

BHH

Shuichiro

7th April 2008, 09:44

Thank you very much for the quick reply.

I will take a look in the idx file.
If that does not work out, I will try some other way to get perfect subs...

Your last idea is good but I prefer to target a certain filesize for each episode.

Thank you very much! Keep on working on this wonderful tool! ^^

I seem to be having an issue and im really unsure why this keep happening >_>. When I go to convert a dvd to x264 codec in a mkv format with acc audio, the original audio would be there but later on the file gets changed to 955kb and it just puts it the final file. I checked the logs and it didn't say anything about doing anything to it. I can't figure out why it keeps doing it.

Anyone got any tips?
Thanks in advance.

It seems to think the size for the file is extremely small if it resizes it to that,but the whole file was set to "Don't care about size"
Actually wait it does show it:

10:50:14 D2V file size: 200074
10:50:14 Audio 2: movie t80 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.ac3
10:50:14 Pre Audio 2' Size: 34163712 bytes
10:50:14 Audio 1: movie t81 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.ac3
10:50:14 Pre Audio 1' Size: 34163712 bytes
10:50:14 Applying DelayAudio of 0 to audio file: movie t81 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.ac3
10:50:14 Encoding X:\VIDEO_TS\New Folder\temp\movie t81 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.ac3 to NeroAAC with 0.50 quality
10:51:09 Encoded 1' Audio Track: movie t81 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.mp4 978780 bytes
10:51:09 Encoding X:\VIDEO_TS\New Folder\temp\movie t80 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.ac3 to NeroAAC with 0.50 quality
10:52:04 Encoded 2' Audio Track: movie t80 2_0ch 192kbps delay 0ms.mp4 978780 bytes

Ive tried multiple audio formats and different file sizes and it keeps doing it. The original file it self has working sound.

I ended up demuxing the audio from the vob to see how big it was and for 20min it was about 40 megs * its original quality, seemed small for some reason*. The only way I could get it to show the audio was if I had left it original. Ill test it on a few other dvds and see if I get the same problem if not then I guess it should be ok.

The previous versions of Automkv were great :) thanks for keeping this program updated Ive notice alot of improvments that had problems in previous versions :).

@Shuichiro
I've run into the problem a few times too.
You will need to manually rip the subs using exe\Subs\VSRip.exe
There are a few ways in which you would need to do them, though the following is the most common I've ran into.

Using my Bleach Volume 1 dvd as an example:
Episode 1: PGC1, Vob/Cell ID: V05C01-V05C05
Episode 2: PGC1, Vob/Cell ID: V06C01-V06C05
Episode 3: PGC1, Vob/Cell ID: V07C01-V07C05
Episode 4: PGC1, Vob/Cell ID: V08C01-V08C05

Be sure: 'Reset time at the first selected cell' is checked.

Processing MKV/x264s -- *Ugh*.....

If anybody has a no-missing-steps checklist to follow, I'd highly appreciate it. (One without command-line widgets would be especially helpful.)

Source: A 22mb film "sample" file; MKV container, AVC/x264 video with 5.1 AC3 and Vorbis audio channels. (I don't care about the audio.) Video is 1280x720, 23.976fps

Desired output: 768x432 XviD, 23.976fps (no change).

Problem: Output video has an inch-wide garble column on the right edge during playback (in either VLC or MPC); yet snapshots will curiously result in jpegs without the banding. (There's the already known problem of AutoMKV attempting to process the audio; I simply quit past those processes.) Output video also stutters as if the Interlace filter screwed up.

Settings: Interlace (tried either Auto or Progressive), Field Order (Auto)

* I've monkeyed with every FFMpeg thingy in Advanced Settings, and even tried preprocessing to lossless (no dice), and am unable to create XviD without this effect.

* Re-installing Haali didn't solve anything.

* Extracting the x264 from the MKV with MKVextractGUI didn't yield a file that either AutoMKV or avc2avi_gui could work with (or even recognize as a "raw" in that latter's case).

@Shuichiro

I rip TV episodes all the time and in order get the subs to show up you need to rip the whole dvd to your drive in file form (if you are using dvd decrypter, I dont know what fab decrypter calls it). Depending on how the dvd is structured you will either have 1 VTS with all your episodes in it or 1 ep in each VTS. If you have all eps in 1 VTS you can set up AutoMKV to rip each ep by using the PGC drop down. If your DVD had 1 ep in each VTS (or what have you) then you can go to advanced settings in AutoMKV and choose process this ifo, then you can select the ifo that has the ep that you want to encode.

A lot of times you cant tell what ep it is when you are encoding it so what I do is fire up the DVD and record all the times for each episode. Then when I go to encode it I know what ep it is based on the time.

If you have any more questions let me know.

Thanks for the tip!
I have always just ripped the main movie if all eps are 1VTS.
I couldn't select each eps in AutoMKV using the PGC dropdown. It only shows me the main movie VTS.

1 more question:

1. If I want to manually crop the video in the advance settings and click on preview, the extra window pops up but I can't see any videoframe. Moreover it seems to stuck with the last desktoop pic

Thanks for this great tool! ^^
Thanks for all the help so far and in advance! :)

jason288

9th April 2008, 15:43

@Shuichiro

I would just rip the whole disk if the episodes are in 1 VTS. Then you know the subs are going to work without any issues.

That means that the episodes are in different VTS. You have to go to advanced screen and choose process this ifo, then you have to choose the ifo that corresponds to the episode that you are trying to encode.

If you look at the following screen shot ( http://jason28.shackspace.com/futurama.GIF ) you can see that there is 1 episode in VTS 4,5,6,7 and 8. So I would have to choose the ifo that corresponds to the ep that I wanted to encode.

I'm routinly use AutoMKV to convert DVDs to XVID encoded AVI files. I use constant quality setting with unlimited size, so I usually end up with AVI file even bigger then DVD size. I opened that AVI file in Gspot and it reported "1.99 GB unneeded bytes at end of file". Is it true? Why this space is there and what might be causing it?

Note: 1.99 GB unneeded bytes at end of file
Multipart OpenDML AVI (3 parts)
(41908 frames in first part, 109920 frames follow)
Interleave: 1 vid frame (40 ms), preload=288
Audio frames: Split across interleaves

please try analyzing with avinaptic, and use the bitrate graph to navigate till end of file

imho the message gspot gives is due to multipart opendml...

Hi Guys

I have been using the program for a while and have recently upgraded to 0.95c running on vista. I am currently having a issue with the audio sync on one of my movies and i was wondering if someone can quickly tell me about the delay settings that are available.

Another issue that i encountered was when i was trying to archieve my Star Wars collection. The issues being that during the opening of the movie when the text scrolls the screen every second frame is a different language, does anyone know how to just display the english text.

(I am currently at work and cannot post the log, if i have to i will post the log when i get home)

Thanks

Oooo, the opening crawl is a multi-angle scene?

I might have to go run out to the other room and retrieve my Star Wars DVD's just to check that out.

I tried ripping a disc with multi angle scenes once. I tried to strip out the second angle and ended up with a movie that alternated with a blank grey screen.

I'll be interested to hear the solution to this as well.

zacoz

15th April 2008, 13:06

@ all above
Star Wars does use multi-angles to display the scrolling text at the start of the movie.

@EddieT

You should be able to rip the movie with only the angle you want (i.e. the one with the desired language) by using DVD Decrypter. Go into it's settings and under the "File Mode" tab, click the "Multi Angle Processing" box and select an angle. Angle 1 is normally the one I'd try first. Test the resulting output and if it's the wrong language, select another angle, and re-rip.

The resulting output from DVD Decrypter should process through AutoMKV without any problems and show clean scrolling text in just your desired language.

When I change the PGC I can no longer choose All Audio Tracks for the audio. I have a video I want to rip from DVD that has 3 audio tracks, but I can't get them all because it isn't the first PGC in that VTS (which is selected by default in AutoMKV).

Also, I've noticed that the browsing (explorer) windows doesn't persist with the same location. It seems to me that the location it starts in is the location it was set to when the program last launched.

Both of these seem like bugs to me unless there is something I'm missing about these issues.

open automkv, on advanced settings check "process this ifo", then select the IFO belonging to your vts

Shouldn't it keep the same output folder as "always" instead of defaulting to the input folder?

Behaviour is re-producible here with 0.96b12 too. As soon as you select a PGC, whether it's the first one or subsequent one, the drop down list only has options of "NONE" or the individual tracks. "All Audio Tracks" is only displayed as an option until you click the PGC drop down. I've never wanted to copy all tracks, so don't know if this is a recent development or a long standing carryover issue.

Hi...first post, so first of all

a BIG THANKS, for this great tool ! I've been using it for 2 weeks now, and encoded about 30 dvd's to perfect xvid.
It works really great - I love it.

But also, i have a minor problem, sometimes when i queue 3 iso´s mounted with deamon tools. and encode them to xvid.
It messes up the subtitels, or the video not sure. I end up
with 2 perfect rips, and one with wrong subs....not really a big
problem...prolly some settings....anyone any suggestion ?

Welcome to the forum :) and buzzqw always like to hear "BIG THANKS" :cool:

What do you mean by "messes up" - wrong subtitle applied (i.e one from the other rip), from another title on the disc or just out of sync?

Posting the log of the problem encode would help us to help you further. Paste it inside code tags rather than as an attachment though.

I thought I remembered reading a post somewhere that indicated Deen required a mod16 source. If correct, then that may be an explanation. Check the movie.avs as indicated by buzzqw, and if there are no other additional problems evidenced from that then maybe try using 0.96beta12 and checking the "Mod16 crop" box in the "Advanced Settings" tab.

Actually, the tooltip for that option mentions Deen requiring mod16 too. :D

@pvlll

It's definitely a little puzzling, as there doesn't seem to be any obvious errors in your log as you no doubt noted. One thing you may like to try is moving AutoMKV into a shorter directory path, e.g. F:\AutoMKV\ rather than in what I gather is your Desktop. Use a shorter path for your output directory too. It's possible that something within the processing is having trouble with the combined directory & filename length.

Also, you may want to reconsider the audio settings you are using for some videos. I note that in 2 of your movies you are actually increasing the audio bitrate from that of the original - essentially just wasting space.

Thanks Zazoc for your reply,

I will move the program, to another drive, this is also
the drive with the content on it for encoding.

About the audio bitrate, i am a little confused about this
setting. I got a few movies encoded, with 5.1 audio encoded
to ac3 in the end. I ended up with strange sound in the xvid.
As in, voices low volume, and effects pretty hard. So i thought
setting the bitrate a little higher for al my movies to encode might solve that problem.....

I must find a way to find out the bitrate from the originals,

@pvlll

No need to apologise for your English - it's quite ok.

You won't gain anything audio quality when your output bitrate is higher than your input bitrate - may as well just copy original audio instead. But you may not know before processing what the original bitrate is of course, and you may not want to copy original when your source bitrate is very high or when source is not AC3.

If you're having issues with output volume on certain disc's then you could try unticking "Normalize Audio" within the Advanced Audio options, and see if that helps with those discs.

Well, let me share some new results...

For now i stopped doing multi convertions, since i think
deamon tools, is the vault for messing up video and subtitle sources. Moving the program to a shorter directory path resulted in video without audio...strange...
When i moved it back to the original location, the one on my desktop with the large path - and did the same convertion,
automagicly it encoded with audio. So i'll leave it there :D

So, it does the job perfecly...one movie at the time - i am really happy with the result, Great !

got one more q. Do you guys think that using the computer while its encoding - will give frame drops in the end result ?
Or would it just take more time, since it doesnt drop frame's but it just takes longer to calculate ?

@pvlll

Why not just rip your DVD's in file mode to different directories, rather than to ISO? That cuts out Daemon Tools completely but still enables multi DVD queuing.

You won't drop frames by using your system while encoding. It'll just slow it down as you speculated.

Most of my sources are already in iso format. It takes aprox 3 hours per movie. No extra handeling. Thats fast enough for me :) Almost done with my entire collection..
If thats finished, i'm gonna test out all the other settings in this fine piece of software.

Thanks again Buzzqw, and zazoc for your support !

(i havent checked it out yet, but i dont think *.dv as input source is possible with aMKV is it ?, that would
have been perfect, been sturggeling around to get my home DV video's converted....i worked it out, but
a ALL in ONE solution like aMKV to do the trick would be great.)

All of these must be installed.
avisynth_257.exe
ffdshow.exe
matroskasplitter.exe
xvid 113.exe

Alternatively, as Ajax_Undone said, you could use his installer (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1127666#post1127666).

neroaacEnc.exe is the only one not installed. Just goes in the directory as you've done.

why program will not give me any output file even if log says job has finished?

The message at the end of the log about "Job Finished" indicates simply that it has finished processing, not that it has successfully finished processing. You should always check your output and/or the log for any issues before assuming processing is successful.

I'm not sure how viable it is to have AutoMKV report at the end of the log whether the whole process was successful or not. It's quite possible that some/many of the programs involved in the processing don't report error codes that can be captured and tracked. Buzzqw seems to have attempted to capture issues where he can - evidenced by the audio encoding failed prompt you mentioned in your earlier post.

Hi everyone, I just tried trascoding a video with the newbie package... and I got it well done except that the audio is very desynchronized

anyone know the reason of that? I'm asking 'cos a tried twice and in both cases happened.

how can I fix it? what could i have done wrong?

thank you :)

@serlex

Long time between posts (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=881164#post881164)for you ;) Welcome back if that's the case.

Synchonisation problems can have a number of causes, some limited to certain sources. Best way to troubleshoot it is for you to post your full log from the encodes, use CODE tags (don't attach it - takes too long for approval).

Also, it is de-synchronised by the same amount consistently through the video or gradually goes out of sync more and more?

Hi, sorry if this has been asked before. Is it possible to use AutoMKV to encode in xvid and play it back in the ipod?
I know that the ipod supports MPEG4 and I have an older PMP that also supports MPEG4. That is the reason I would prefer converting to xvid instead of h264.
Which profile should I use, because the default profile for xvid does not playback in the ipod.

Thanks :)

Is it possible to use AutoMKV to encode in xvid and play it back in the ipod?As far as I know, the iPod doesn't support Xvid. So you can't use AutoMKV or any other software for this purpose.

BUT, you can use AutoMKV with the MP4 container and X264 codec. Then, check the box "All Profiles" and from "Profile" select "iPod.xml". I believe that should do it.

As far as I know, the iPod doesn't support Xvid. So you can't use AutoMKV or any other software for this purpose.

I believe this is incorrect. Check the quote from the Ipod homepage:

MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Aylwin

24th April 2008, 09:40

You're right. When I think of Xvid I always think of AVI container. I was planning to add that you could probably use Xvid with MP4 container but then you can't select the iPod.xml profile. In which case, you might have to create your own profile that works.

Just a quick question which I probably already know, but does this mean:

11:14:37 Unable to determine movie properties with DirectShowSource, switched to FFmpegSource
11:14:37 Unable to determine movie properties with FFmpegSource. Now analyzing with MediaInfo

That I should install FFdshow or DirectShowSource plugins? Just a little confirmation.

Yeah, but 300 DVD's at 5-6 Gigs a hit is over 1.5TB, so the space savings of encoding to x264 really start to make sense.

PCH suports srt, .sub, .smi and .ssa, subtitles formats.Subtitles extracted from DVD are image-based .idx/.sub. This is different from text-based .sub. So unfortunately, the PCH doesn't recognize subtitles from DVD. I found this thread here: http://www.networkedmediatank.com/viewtopic.php?p=27279

It's possible to convert idx/sub to a text based format but I find the process quite painful (very slow and time consuming if you want it done correctly).

If you always watch with subtitles then what you can do is "burn" the subtitles right onto the video. In the Advanced Settings tab, under Muxing Options, you can check Burn Subtitles.

Havent been here for a while and recently downloaded and installed this. Couple of problems I am having I wanna report

1
I used to use Autogk which worked fine on a 7.89 GB movie with anout 3mb missing in my movie. It ignored this part of the movie and ended up with the whole movie converted. Automkv converted the movie, however it ended up with 2.14 hrs of the movie whereas the movie was about 3 hrs. I suppose its due to missing information. But I wanted it to continue ripping the DVD to MP4
2
The crop function shows me I have cropped the image right but it ends up with quite a bit of black bars being left.
3
some error message comes up just when its about to mux the final video and audio with virtualmod. saying
" The function deletecomments was on a sream(?) that hasn't been previously intialised with setsource" and does not mux the result

Now for some stupid questions

I have just came across x264, supposed to be better quality/size is this correct?
When converting audio the slider does not indicate what rate the audio will be converted to? Can I refer to a guide as to what each mark on the slider mean for audio conversion, also I dont know the equivalent aac bitrate as opposed to mp3. where can I find this information?

Ok did some more tests. Videos with 720x576 crop works fine. HD mpeg2 downconverted crop stuffs up with black bars on 4:3 videos
thanks

If the autocrop can't correctly detect the cropping required then you may have to manually crop affected movies - see the Advanced Settings tab.

x264 will give you better quality for an equivalent size compared to Xvid. Whether it suits you depends upon whether you are playing back on a PC, standalone DVD/media server/mp4 player, ipod etc. Support for x264 playback varies greatly on standalone's / media servers, and those that support it may only do so in mp4 container rather than mkv.

Question whats benefit MKV Vs Mp4?

not truly belonging to this thread.. so i suggest to search around for your answer

manual crop: you specify the crop AND NOT the width&height of resize
manual crop&resize: you specify BOTH crop values and width and height

the first case will let automkv calculate the correct height given the selected width on main panel

Oh almost forgot what is the error message I posted in my original post?
Also is there a link which will tell me more about your slider/bitrate details \?

I used manual crop and I was trying to say its not working correctly, sorry if I misled you. Question whats benefit MKV Vs Mp4? and whats the difference between Use Manual Crop/Resize and just Manual crop in the advanced tab?
thanks

OK, so have you tried selecting width of 640 on the front page and just let AutoMKV autocrop the black bars and resize automatically (i.e. do not touch anything on advanced settings regarding crop and resize).?

is there a link which will tell me more about your slider/bitrate details

I seem to recall a post somewhere with a rough comparison but don't recall who posted it etc or in what thread - suggest you try searching (the numbers aren't just specific to AutoMKV from my experience). Personally I use NeroAAC and use the default 0.35 thru to 0.45 depending upon what I'm encoding. You could also try a few encodes to see what gives the best quality to size trade-off for your sound system & ears.

what is the error message I posted in my original post?

I don't use Xvid in AutoMKV so probably can't help with the error, except to ask if there is a muxing.bat in the temp directory? If so, then what happens if you try to run it, do you get the same error?

1st May 2008, 13:28

I think now I am completely lost. I have HD video 16:9 video which I wanna down convert to 640xwhatever(480 i assume) but the original video has black bars at the sides. I set the video to 640 on the front. Now do I tick M Crop and resize or just crop to cut out the black bars correctly

IF the autocrop I suggested doesn't work, then you could select to just crop and let AutoMKV handle the resizing based on the 640 width you supply on the front tab (as you seem unsure of what the appropriate height is for your video).

IF the autocrop I suggested doesn't work, then you could select to just crop and let AutoMKV handle the resizing based on the 640 width you supply on the front tab (as you seem unsure of what the appropriate height is for your video).

Auto crop does not work due to watermarks in wrong places in the black bar area, keep popping up from time to time. I suppose thats the problem. Will try your suggestion and check again.

can somebody please give me a rough estimate on how long encoding of a full hd widescreen 120min. movie using the x264 balanced profile should take?

i let it run for one hour yesterday and it said 25 hours remaining - that figure changed drastically every 10 minutes or so, so i suppose it wasn't yet at a point where the remaining time is accurate. and usually those figures tend to go up until they're stable. so i'm guessing that it would take 1-2 days and that just for the first pass? can that be right?

zacoz

4th May 2008, 12:30

While I don't encode full HD material, that does sound like rather a long time. A recent 110min DVD resolution movie I processed took 2.25 hours from start to finish (just under 2 hrs for the video) - that's on a 2.3GHz E6550 Core2Duo, using just a simple RemoveGrain filter with single pass CRF. The time for your encode of course is going to be very dependant upon your processor specs and what filtering you are doing.

I've not experienced drastic changes in the time to completion estimates that you're describing either. Were you possibly using the PC for something else at the same time, as that would cause the circumstances you describe as the processor % available for encoding would be changing.

4th May 2008, 12:37

i'm on a x2 4800+ machine and i was using the removegrain mode 2 filter that's set by default...

as far as using my pc for something else at the time goes - nope, i was hardly doing anything in the meantime...

Just running a x264 test encode here on a 5 minute 1440x1080 HD source using 2 pass balanced profile, RemoveGrain(mode=2) filter, autocrop with spline36resize filter and with AQ set to 0.

Using 0.96beta12 the first pass chugged along at an average of 12.15 fps, while the second pass is averaging 3.67 fps.

Using 0.95c the first pass was averaging about 10fps (didn't bother running it to test the 2nd pass).

If I leave AQ at its default with 0.96beta12, the first pass stays around 12.15 fps. I imagine the second pass may be slower however.

I gather you are getting significantly slower fps after allowing for the difference between 1920x1080 and my tests of 1440x1080? Could you post your log from the affected encode? Are both your cores being used fully? Try using the 0.96beta version which has an improved x264 encoder.

well i just tried it with beta12, manual cropping (so i would not have to select a resize filter - i don't know what that thing does with the filter if the picture doesn't need to be resized but i want to make sure that there's no resizing going on) and aq mode set to 0.

both cores are almost fully used (cpu usage is between 85 and 95%), after about 3 minutes of encoding, it says: "encoded frames: 21/2250 (0.9%), 0.09 fps, eta 7:07:11"

@sh4dow
Would you post your log to see if there's anything there that is odd (use CODE tags - don't post as attachment).

Are you ripping from a disc on-the-fly or using a USB attached drive? Although I wouldn't think that they would explain a 0.09fps processing rate.

ah, yes... the log file... sorry, forgot about that
i rip from an usb attached device - but since i'm able to watch the evo-file almost realtime from that (not sure if it's my cpu or the usb connection that isn't enough), the encoder would get frames at an average speed of 15-20fps.

here's the log (obviously, i replaced some of the paths with "..."):

@sh4dow

you are encoding a grf file , isn't it ?

also.. look at resolution
Movie Width/Height: 1920/1080

just a little bit high, so maybe you are cpu limited... BUT but without your avs input we cannot know what filters OR decoders used.. i can only suggest to use coreavc..

BHH

sh4dow

4th May 2008, 18:22

actually, i read somewhere that automkv can handle evo-files if piped through an avs script. so i just set the evo-file as directshowsource, no additional filters or anything

but using a grf-file with coreavc instead doesn't seem to make a difference. x264 still drops below 1fps after minutes.

as for the resolution - yeah, i don't know why the manual cropping doesn't seem to have an effect. i could crop over 500 pixels on top and bottom. but i doubt that letterboxes have much of an impact on encoding speed anyway. and right now, i don't really care about quality...

buzzqw

4th May 2008, 18:44

On avs input NO RESIZE or CROP or FILTER is applyed.

the script is taken as is.

Oke, i got some thoughts i'd like to share. And ofcourse ask if
this would be possible, with the program. and if so, what would be the best settings.

I've got a BR-iso (28gig) wich i can mount in deamon tools.
This would give me a Digital hd calibration tool.
Since i will get a new screen this week, i'd
like to be able to view this tool. Would it be possible
to rip this to 100% quality HD-WMV. This is my best option
to play in my setup (for now)....and what settings would i use.

While i am typing this, i am thinking....it might be usefull to
have a menu structure for these kind of things...uhmmmmm
..then its a no-go..

Auto crop does not work due to watermarks in wrong places in the black bar area, keep popping up from time to time. I suppose thats the problem.

Clearly... this is one of those special cases when autocrop wont work because of the watermarks.

I suggest that you use Media Player Classic (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/Video-Players/Media-Player-Classic-for-Win2kXP.shtml) (to take a snapshot of one frame from the movie) and MS Picture Manager (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/help/CH010001171033.aspx) (to crop)... then scale downto 640 width and calculate the proportional height (see Anamorphic or not Anamorphic (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1075130#post1075130) but use 640 width).
Use the resultant height in AutoMKV.

It's all good !!!

any ideas why the package does not start on vista 64bit ultimate?
i tried v.95c but it only opens the DGindexer, which doesnt do anything...

btw i use the AutoMKV-v0.95c-Setup.exe
note i skipped xvid koepi cause it fails on install... cant retrieve the file from the url specified in the installer!
installed all other apps on default!
as its a pvr file i set projectX

when i select a source file DGindex opens, and does not close, unless i close it by clicking the exit.
same when i start encoding...
the log does not say anything about errors

videolan client says stream 1 (video) is mpgv (TV-RIP from terratec cinergy S2 (but its no hddtv rip))

NOTE: adminstrator handling is disabled -> all rights available
i also enabled the compatibility mode for xp sp2

PS: i guess it does not recognize the file as a vaild mpeg source...??

EDIT: virtualdub tells me: MPEG IMport Filter: invalid pack at position 3: marker bit not set; possibly MPEG-2 stream
EDIT2: if i skip the AUDIO track it starts encoding (freaking slow but it starts with less than 2fps)
autogk detects the video and audio and processes it correct, probably this info helps you?

@Luke2000
Seems there been an update to the Koepi Xvid build. Download the updated file from here (http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=4521&s=52) and install. Then try it again and post results and log file (in CODE tags).

@Ajax_Undone
Link to new Koepi build for inclusion in installer: http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=4521&s=52

@buzzqw
Link will also need updating on post one of 0.95c and 0.96beta threads.

I note you are using directories with square brackets [ ]. Is there any difference if you use directories without these brackets. By all means however upload the clip and I'll try encoding it here.

hi, i tested in another location without the brackets...
works there... thats odd :(
Good to hear :)

any ideas why the brackets affect the indexer???
No, but a number of the apps called by encoding GUI's (not just AutoMKV) don't seem to like very long paths or non alpha-numeric characters.

EDIT: do you know what gives better results,
Video/Audio PS (*.mpg)
or
Video/Audio TS (*.ts)
AND does automkv support the ts file?
In my Digital TV Captures I've personally not noticed a quality difference whether I record in *.mpg or *.ts however I always use *.ts now as that way I capture all audio & subtitle channels.

AutoMKV supports *.ts input files. You may want to select "Use ProjectX for TS files" on the Advanced Settings tab as dgindex balks on some TS files.

EDIT2:
stops after encoding audio
According to the log it has successfully encoded the video also ("17:03:48 Only Movie Size: 18854200 bytes"), but has failed on the muxing stage. Try running the muxing.bat file within the temp directory to see if it will mux (note: resulting mkv file will be created in the temp directory when run manually).

I ran the encode here (0.95c on WinXPsp2 box) and everything went smoothly including the muxing. I can't see anything wrong with the muxing command and it's essentially identical to mine.

further note:
the movie is 16:9 but it gets encoded to 4:3 although i set keep original resolution...
There's an issue with 0.95 series where if you select "Original" as the width for an anamorphic video and don't tick "Anamorphic Encoding" on the Advanced Settings tab it will be muxed using the incorrect DAR. There is a warning that appears in the staus bar to recommend ticking "Anamorphic Encoding" but this is easily overlooked. The issue has been resolved within the 0.96 betas being currently worked on (can't recall if it's in beta12 or will be in next beta released).

ok, so.. will check the next release and check the anamorphic encoding feature... and the manual muxing!

NOTE: my source movie was 7mb the encoded movie was 18mb - seems i had a bad sample, or is it possible that my source is already encoded?

EDIT: nice feature would be a graphical editor where you can select the cropbox :D

my video has 1.97gb with a lenght of ~95min on a stunning quality
i am not sure how to get resolution of the file (takikng screenshots and counting pixels is for idiots ;) )
somehow it always shows me 720x576.. although its 16:10

Hi!

I've been reading about this great program for some time now and finally got around to use it, but I have some problems.
I've been trying to encode a TV recording in anamorphic x264/mkv but I can't figure out how to do it.

Source is 704x576 PAL with PAR=1.0909(12/11) DAR=1.3333

What I want to do is:

1. crop 2,6,2,4 (L,R,T,B)
2. leave PAR at 1.0909 (or set a new DAR=1.3320)
3. NOT (!) resize but leave the cropped resolution (696x570)

I have no idea how to do that. AutoMKV always tries to resize giving me some weird resolutons and I don't know where to enter PAR or a new DAR value.

Any help appreciated!

hello -

i've been trying automkv and am pretty happy with it but have a couple of questions:

1. when i insert a disc that has multiple episodes on it and then press "check drive," it only shows one of the episodes in the "Select" drop down menu. how do i get it to allow me to choose the other episodes? i tried changing the input file but it doesn't seem to make any difference: if the input file is vts_03_0.ifo and i change it to vts_01_0.ifo, it reverts back to vts_03_0.ifo.

2. also, when i want to preserve the quality of the dvd, i use the "dvd_main_cq" profile that was created by the person who published the newbie guide. and that seems to work pretty well. in that regard:

(a) i'm wondering if there's a more efficient profile (e.g., one that is faster or results in smaller files but maintains the image quality of the dvd_main_cq profile); and

(b) what's a good profile to use for situations where i'm willing to sacrifice a bit of quality in exchange for faster encoding (or smaller file size)? i'd love a list showing something like xyz profile will give you abc% of the quality in about def% of the time, compared to the dvd_main_cq profile.

thanks!

t4uecker, on multi-episodes check the Process This Ifo in the Advanced Settings under Muxing and Indexing Options before selecting the input file. After selecting the file then go to the drop down Select PGC menu. Do not select Check Drive when doing this. That will seek out the largest Ifo on the disc.

Cheers,
Rick

Try to replace the cropped area with black borders such that the total size remains 704x576. No need to change SAR or DAR then.
Crop(2,2,-6,-4) #L,T,R,B
AddBorders(2,2,6,4)

It seems like a dirty workaround and the point is to remove the black bars/garbage (especially on DVDs).

NOTE: my source movie was 7mb the encoded movie was 18mb - seems i had a bad sample, or is it possible that my source is already encoded?Yes, your source is already encoded. But the reason you are getting a bigger file is you are telling AutoMKV to input a 7 mb file and output a 700 mb file (1 CD filesize). :eek:
EDIT: nice feature would be a graphical editor where you can select the cropbox :D
Have you tried using the preview button on the Advanced Settings tab?

EDIT: Whoops, must've been tired, I applied your top/bottom crop figures to left/right in my original response. It should have read:

On Advanced Settings tab try selecting Use Manual Crop/Resize, specifying the crop values AND the width and height you want (704 x 576).

Aaah, after reading your answer I've tried to write custom values directly in main AutoMKV advanced settings tab and it worked! :thanks: Till now, I've been doing it in the crop preview and that seems to be broken because it wouldn't let me set custom resize value. Maybe buzzqw could take a look at it.

Anyway, there's a new problem now. In Advanced Settings under Aspect Ratio Options...if i leave Force PAR in avs on AUTO, it encodes ok but with very small error (PAR 1.0919 instead of 1.0909). But if I set a custom value 1.0909 everything breaks. PAR ends up as 1.001436 and it has to use FFMPEG to encode.

Here are the logs:

Also, it seems that selecting Anamorphic Encoding (Advanced Settings - Aspect Ratio Options) or not doesn't make a difference. The encoded file will be anamorphic either way.

Have you tried using the preview button on the Advanced Settings tab?

when i crop something from a movie, it should be removed, not upscaling the values to hold the old height (upscaling to 1360 x 576 makes no sense -> would be nice if that could be changed in further releases - should only be 5-10 lines of code)
yeah but preview seemd incorrect.

You haven't selected a resizer, yet you are trying to rezsize a 576 (720 - 71 - 73) x 576 video to 1360 x 576.
why select a resizer if i only want to crop it? no need to resize the image there?!

still... with all my mistakes in settings... why does it abort after encoding audio?

Anyway, there's a new problem now. In Advanced Settings under Aspect Ratio Options...if i leave Force PAR in avs on AUTO, it encodes ok but with very small error (PAR 1.0919 instead of 1.0909). But if I set a custom value 1.0909 everything breaks. PAR ends up as 1.001436 and it has to use FFMPEG to encode.

Why is 1.0919 an error? It seems right to me.

PAR = DAR / SAR
PAR = (4 / 3) / (696/ 570)
Par = 1.0919540....

Seems by overriding the PAR you're forcing it into a conflicting situation, thus errors are expected.

Also, it seems that selecting Anamorphic Encoding (Advanced Settings - Aspect Ratio Options) or not doesn't make a difference. The encoded file will be anamorphic either way.
Can't help you on this as I don't manually crop and manually resize so haven't experienced this, and don't have the time at the moment to start running tests. I'd advise testing 0.96beta12 to see if it exhibits the same behaviour.

excuse me for my english
i'm using massively automkv (excellent) but i have a problem from version 0.95c: when i compress audio to 96 khz CBR the program converts sample rate to 32.000 even if the source is 44.100 or 48.000. in the previous versions not...
it's possible to fix the issue?

Welcome to the forum Avatar1972 :)

What are you converting to - Lame, Nero AAC, etc? Is it only a particular source or any source? Have you tried going into the Advanced Audio options - thus resetting them, selecting CBR again then trying again (in case frequency had been accidentally changed)? Does 0.96beta12 display the same behaviour?

Posting your log may help too, so that others can try and replicate the issue.

Based upon your last log you have selected to manually crop (71 top, 73 bottom) AND manually resize (1360 x 576).

18:25:46 Selected Resizer: NONE / Original
18:25:46 Selected Filters: NONE

18:25:46 Botton Crop: 73
18:25:46 Manual Width: 1360
18:25:46 Manual Height: 576

I must however apologise as my original response I took your crop figures off left and right rather than top and bottom. It doesn't change the guts of the answer though - by cropping 71 & 73 you end up with a video having 720 pixel width and 432 height, yet you've asked AutoMKV to output a video 1360 pixels wide and 576 pixels high. It can't do this without using a resize filter. That's why it errors after encoding, you're asking it to do something impossible.

If you only want to crop and not resize, then don't select "use manual crop/resize", just select "manual crop" and enter 0,71,0,73 in the crop boxes. Select anamorphic tickbox or not as you desire.

It's an error because DAR isn't 4/3 (1.3333) anymore, it's 1.3320 now.

Can't help you on this as I don't manually crop and manually resize so haven't experienced this, and don't have the time at the moment to start running tests. I'd advise testing 0.96beta12 to see if it exhibits the same behaviour.

I'm already using the latest beta.

at 112kbs no..

@luke2000

why select a resizer if i only want to crop it? no need to resize the image there?!

so check in advanced settings Manual Crop, and set your crop, on main panel select NONE as resizer

an error of 0,1% ? call it a rounding error. ... and sorry, even on scene releases this is accepted (on a 1280*xxx it's less the 1 pixel error)

Yes, it is acceptable. But why doesn't custom PAR work? Even if I manually set 1.091 (the same as AUTO) it breaks. And why doesn't the preview window let me choose a custom resolution?

this isn't the standard pal resolution.. why not 720*576 ?

It's a DVB-T recording. Some channels are broadcasted in 704x576 and some in 720x576, both are common PAL resolutions.

EDIT: The PAR error was small because the crop was small. I just tried with a larger crop and PAR is 1.1650, that's almost a 7% error. It seems that AutoMKV always works with 4/3 DAR and changes the PAR, but it should be the other way around - PAR should remain constant and DAR should be calculated (cropped_width/cropped_height=DAR/PAR)!

Hi All

Thanks for the help with the Star wars opening text, the processing of the file works a treat. I have another question, when i first started using Automkv i didn't know how to encode the video to anamorphic, which meant that the pixel aspect wasn't correct. I was wondering if there is a way of re encoding the file (so as to not loose any quality) so that it was now anamorphic.

Also has anyone found a device like a standalone DVD player that can play x264 encoded videos.

Thanks

EddieT

@EddieT

If you have a widescreen movie that is being displayed in a compressed 5:4 or 4:3 frame then if you were using MKV container, then you could remux with mkvmergeGUI. Use your existing MKV as the input file, select the video stream - format specific options tab and set the AR or dimensions explicitly. Set output file name and Mux.

If it's in mp4 container then you may be able to do similar with mp4box - not sure as I've never used mp4 container.

14:39:35 Movie Width/Height: 704/576
14:39:36 DgIndex AR: 4:3

this isn't the standard pal resolution.. why not 720*576 ?

It's a DVB-T recording. Some channels are broadcasted in 704x576 and some in 720x576, both are common PAL resolutions.

EDIT: The PAR error was small because the crop was small. I just tried with a larger crop and PAR is 1.1650, that's almost a 7% error.
It seems that AutoMKV always works with 4/3 DAR and changes the PAR, but it should be the other way around - PAR should remain constant and DAR should be calculated (cropped_width/cropped_height=DAR/PAR)!

Interesting !!!

It seams like there are always exceptions to the rule... AutoMKV can't be expected to automatically deal with each new problem... that's why there are manual control implementation put in place !!

It's all good !

True, but the question is how to set PAR/DAR manually? :)

I'ld recommend that you re-post in AutoMKV 0.96 Need BETA Testers ! (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=136007&page=99)

That forum is more pro-active in making AutoMKV 'all that it can be'... and you look like a natural born de-bugger... gifted in solving perplexing problems.

It's all good !

Hello buzzqw,

I'm new to AutoMKV, using AutoGK for years now and being happy with it. Now I want to test some x264 encodings and that's why I wanted to give AutoMKV a try.

Unfortunately the link Easy Installer for Newby! (with ffdshow,avisynth,xvid,...) http://www.mediafire.com/?2i25n1j1lj3 doesn't work anymore.

So I copied the newest AutoMKV to my system, installed AviSynth 2.7 and XVid. But encoding doesn't start and hangs in dgindex:

What's wrong here?

Just off the bat... something doesn't look koesher here.

If AutoMKV has attached an extra \temp subfolder it would probably be best to reset your Output directory and delete the contents from C:\temp.
A separate folder for Input/Output would also be recommended... perhaps something like "To be encoded" and "Encoding" respectively.

It's all good !

@Queenfan

I've seen this occur on some discs when you have ripped in IFO mode to rip just a single PGC or to separate out a TV Series which has all episodes in one VTS.

If that is the case, the only reliable solution I've found is to rip such disc's in file mode. You could try manually demuxing the audio & video streams (dgindex or pgcdemux) and then loading each into AutoMKV.

PS. Just had another thought about problem. It could be related to the fact that you haven't ripped to a VIDEO_TS directory. Rename your directory such that C:\MKV\Source\VTS_01_0.IFO becomes C:\MKV\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO and see if it works.
(When I changed to file mode I would have been effectively changing from non VIDEO_TS directory to a VIDEO_TS directory without realising it).

BTW, the c:\temp\temp output directory you had in your original log wouldn't be a problem. The log always adds AutoMKV's own created temp directory as the output directory within the log. You would have in fact selected in the GUI c:\temp as your output directory (which was also your input directory). I frequently use input dir = output dir without problems.

Ok, I don't know... but

I did notice that you haven't downloaded/included NeroAACEnc.exe (http://www.nero.com/eng/nero-aac-codec.html) (eventhough you copy original).
Also... when you do get things going you may consider using the Constant_Quality-crf.xml profile which takes out a lot of the guesswork and 'get's it right the first time in half the time'.
You wont know the final filesize... but a little practice will set you well on the road to success (normally Q18 -> Q24 works pretty well).

It's all good !

Thanks for your help people.
I just copied the NeroAACEnc.exe to the right directory.
But this didn't the trick.
Maybe zacoz is right, it was a TV series DVD ripped in IFO-Mode. I can verify this in the evening.

Do you have some suggestions or links concerning filesizes for mkv-Files (x264) from HD-sources with 720p resolution?

I want to start encoding (HD/BR)-DVDs in a way which fits best to my future LCD-TV (Full-HD).

I have started a rather large batch of DVD conversion. All of them where 720x480 with various aspect ratio from 16:9 to all the way up 2.35.

I did not understood well the various switches on the advanced tabs and the resulting .mkv file has 720x480 property set. This means that showing them using my media player on a 16:9 plasma leads to black bar on the side.

I tried mkvmerge gui and remuxing them with the 16:9 property instead of 720x480 fix this. With the new 96b12 I nos set the mod16 property on the advance tab and I don't have this problem anymore. However, I have 100 of them with the wrong property.

Can I just change the property in the .mkv file without having to remux everything?

Thanks a lot.

@QUEENFAN

Initial problem is during the autoresize routine, although the video encoding itself then fails using the set 240 width. Can you open your resmovie.avs file in mpc or virtualdub and see if it throws an error message.

It's not actually the mod16 Crop in the 0.96beta that overcomes your issue, rather it's that it automatically applies the correct AR in cases where original width is used. It essentially automatically ticks the Anamorphic Encoding option (0.95c only suggested selecting anamorphic, didn't actually do it).

Not aware of a program that will let you change the DAR without remuxing though, sorry.

By the way: Does it make any sense using x264 für DVD-material instead of xvid? Or should I use x264 just for HD-sources?

@QUEENFAN

You're welcome :helpful:

There is a fix for warpsharp plugin problems mentioned in the first post of the thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1096412#post1096412) below Dependencies. Give it a try and let us know if it helps.

Personally I love x264 for non HD sources. It lets me encode with a better quality to size ratio than with XviD on all the sources I deal with. I'm not concerned with standalone player compatibility and using one pass CRF encoding the extra encoding time for x264 isn't onerous (overnight batch ftw). Those are the only two reasons I can think of that might dissuade someone to preferring XviD. Essential most of the same reasons you would use x264 for HD material apply to SD material (including DVD's).

@zacoz

Just gave it another try with additional dll's from your hint and now it's encoding ;-))

Thanks a lot.

I now just have to become a pro in x264-encoding because in the near future I'll be independent from standalone-players using a htpc with BR-/HD-DVD and HDD/LAN (AMD 780G Chipset) and DVB-S(2).

So I will start to encode some of my favorite TV-Series which I own to x264. Any suggestions for my first attempts and settings to use would be very helpfull.

It essentially automatically ticks the Anamorphic Encoding option (0.95c only suggested selecting anamorphic, didn't actually do it).

Not aware of a program that will let you change the DAR without remuxing though, sorry.

Thanks, great program. It replaced all others that I was using before.

There can be problems if you rip by IFO/PGC, so just stick to File ripping. As to settings personally I usually use autocrop only (with fairly neutral resize filter), mod16 crop, anamorphic encoding, NeroAAC 0.35, AQ Strength/Mode 0, Constant Quality CRF 22, RemoveGrain(mode=2).

I have to adjust this on occasion for some series, like Columbo, which needs additional filtering - although I'm very trial and error with filtering and haven't reached an output I can confidently say I'm happy with.

My playback gear isn't the best (SD & crummy sound system) so you may want to use a lower CRF or higher audio setting. Some people don't like the anamorphic and prefer to resize to their desired playback size directly. Others will have their own preferences, so try a few variants and find what you are happy with - it's a gradual process.

Thanks, great program. It replaced all others that I was using before.

All the thanks goes to buzzqw for creating it.

@All - don't forget the paypal button if you haven't used it yet and find the program useful.

To be able to compare: which settings of AutoMKV are equal to AutoGK when encoding with xvid and given output size (2-pass)?

You see I'm very near throwing away my favorite tool (autoGK) and making AutoMKV my favorite encoding-tool for the future (including x264).

zacoz

21st May 2008, 10:46

I don't know exactly, but the obvious start would be 2 pass balanced profile, width set to Automatic and disc settings set to the desired size. Audio likely set to lame 128 bitrate. I believe AutoGK varies the filters used (softer or sharper) to help arrive at what it deems an optimal resize / compression tradeoff. You could play around and do some tests with the various resize and main filters in AutoMKV to come up with what you prefer. Others may be able to provide a more technical response regarding the filter selection in AutoGK.

Ultimately, AutoGK makes a few more of the decisions (i.e. filters) silently in the background without you even realising it and without the ability to override. With AutoMKV you can accept the default filters (RemoveGrain(mode=2) & SimpleResize from memory) and other options or override to your hearts content. AutoGK will provide a decent result across a wide range of sources while AutoMKV lets you have more control thus the possibility of a better result on many of the same sources. Personally I was quite happy with the former for well over a year, and only moved to the later when I decided I was ready to learn and experiment a bit myself.

OK, this is going to waste a little space and probably add nothing really constructive to this thread:

I want to seriously heap some deep praise on the authors of this tool - AutoMKV. This little item has been like a Godsend. I can take my Blu-Rays and drop them all down onto a perfectly PS3-playable DL DVD and let my little ones play with them to their heart's content! The only thing better would be a 1-Click type solution to do that while retaining menus (like that's ever gonna happen).

Again - This is BEAUTIFUL work!

Hi All

Could someone please help me with a problem that has appeared during mkv/h264 encoding. I have been happily converting my DVD's over the past few weeks, however tonight AutoMKV is continually reverting to ffmpeg encoding, with the following message:- BREAK! FILE NOT SUPPORTED! LAST TRY WITH FFMPEG !! The file encodes to the proper size - as chosen in the output settings, but the quality is very poor. I also had an Avisynth error (Avisynth failure Script error:syntax error (D:\CSI\temp\movies.avs, line 72, column o), this occurred prior to the ffmpeg message.

I have all relevant components installed and all was working fine, until this evening. This is my first post, so if I have missed any information, please let me know.

Welcome to the forum :)

What is the error when you open movie.avs in virtualdub or mpc (media player classic)?

Also, did you happen to have ripped the source using IFO mode? If so, then try ripping in File mode as I've seen a number of issues resulting from IFO mode.

@solis0001

Thanks for the welcome. No errors were recorded in either virtualdub or mpc, both played the file correctly, although the quality was poor. I do appear to have resolved the issue though, it looks like some of my codecs miraculously disppeared from the pc, a re-install of cccp seems to have done the trick. Wiill post back if there are any further problems. This aside the application is great - kudos to buzzqw.

so i made a avs script to resize it to 1280/720p.

Load it in automkv.

I gave AutoMKV a try to encode MPEG-2 to xvid (avi) but although I chose 2_pass_balanced the resulting AVI is not the size I set explicitly. The result was 310MB and I wanted 360MB.
How can I fix this?

I've run across a DVD, Revolver, that has forced subs that are included in the full English subtitle track. How about an option to only extract forced subs? Granted, I can do this manually by running it through VSrip beforehand. But it would be nice to have an option included for it so there's no extra step. Maybe also a way to determine if there are forced subs or not.

@TreZor

First of All Welcome to the Forum!

on avs input automkv will not apply any resize or filter you select.
it will just compute bitrate for final size.
So.. if you want to use some filters, better to write down your script

@QUEENFAN

much depend on what profile you used. i can argue you have saturated the codec, try analyzing (and post it) with avinaptic, and if saturated use the xivd sap SCURE profile

@Taddeusz

actually this option isn't avaiable in automkv, better to rip manually the subs and load it in automkv

@Aylwin

yes, this is the lem filter
lem filter is an adaptive frame filter that, based on analysis will apply removegrain(mode=2) on clean frame and hqdn3d(preset 3) on noisy frames

27th May 2008, 06:25

Thanks for your answer. I encoded in xvid with 2_pass_balanced profile. I deleted the encoded file because of the size (too small).
I will do another encode using sap SCURE profile.

Which tool can I use to see the margins (for cropping) of a HD-DVD already copied to hdd (.EVO-files)?

My system just finished encoding a TV-Stream to XVid with AutoMKV and profile sap SCURE. I wanted 360MB the result had 310MB again.
On the same system (using the same XVID-encoder) AutoGK produced a file with exactly 360MB.
Attached you'll find the reports from avinaptic (cool tool).

Any idea?

I would like to use AutoMKV in the future but I want at least the same results as with AutoGK in the past.

zacoz

30th May 2008, 10:59

@QUEENFAN

Looking at your reports, it seems that you are resizing with AutoGK which as I understand will use a sharper filter if need be to meet the requested size. AutoMKV on the other hand will use the filters you have selected (and it appears no resizing has been done).

So I'm guessing here and saying that you've chosen softening and/or denoising filters in AutoMKV but sharpening filters in AutoGK (which gives you no choice as to filter).

You are comparing apples to oranges.

If you really really want a comparison, you'll need to start by selecting a width of 720 in AutoMKV (so both files are roughly 720 x 416), and try one of the sharpening resize filters, possibly also needing to set to NONE the right hand side filter box (it's likely defaulting to RemoveGrain(mode=2). It's trial and error.

Without knowing what filters AutoGK has used you can only guess at trying to set a similar filter selection in AutoMKV. And as AutoGK selects different filters based upon your source to meet your selected output filesize and dimensions there are no one set of settings in AutoMKV that will give you the same result as AutoGK every time regardless of source (AutoMKV doesn't work that way - it gives the control to you).

On a side note you appear to have DAR problems with your AutoMKV file too, but as always without a log it's hard to offer suggestions as to why.

QUEENFAN

30th May 2008, 16:39

@zacoz

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Attached you'll find a log. I encoded a MPEG2 file (TV-stream) which I encoded earlier with AutoGK to a 360MB XVID-AVI but with AutoMKV I ended with 315MB again.

In AutoMKV I used SimpleResize (neutral soft) and AutoCrop Only and NO Filters.
I did a encode of a DVD-Rip (Heroes) some day ago with x264 and MKV container which had exactly the 550MB I wanted.

What's wrong here?

X264 encoding, first I encode stuff to watch on my phone (I have coreplayer so just about everything works) and always test them on this pc first with media player classic, I resize to 320x240 with a neutral sharp filter and I change the frame rate to 15fps so it runs smoothly on my phone, but when I view the files on my pc first (To check its worked right) in an MP4 container the resizing works but the frame rate IS 15FPS but it plays it like 23.976FPS but the music plays at normal speed and in an MKV container the video is automatically stretched to 640x480 (its original format) when I start it with Media Player Classic, so basically the video plays at nearly 2x speed but if I encode from a 29FPS video it might aswell be 2x speed :mad:

2. When I select an MKV with 2 soundtracks in I can only select the files name so if it was example.mkv then the audio that I can select is example.mkv :confused:, is there any way to get it to recognize the dual audio? And as for the subtitles, it doesn't even find any.

3. If I encode to an MKV with xvid codec and load external subtitles and burn them (my phone can't recognize subtitles so I need to burn them) it tends to be very out of sync, I mean I'm getting sentences that should be 10 minutes into the video at about 30 seconds :confused:

4. If I select "Use Manual Crop/Resize and click preview vista tells me its stopped working correctly and won't let me do anything but close it.

5. And finally this isn't a problem but more of a question, is there any way to select more codecs than X264 Xvid and WMV?

Thanks so much for your help

P.S I use 2 Pass Insane Quality and to change the FPS I tick "Last line AVS Script" and write ChangeFPS(15.000)

fixed link, thanks

@storm20200

1) automkv not change the framerate of audio if not requested. Even if you change fps of video , you MUST force automkv to change even the fps of audio. Go to advanced audio options and use the tempo option

2) with 0.96 b12 you can select audio tracks INSIDE a mkv container

3) maybe a problem of fps again ?, automkv don't change the timeline of subtitle, it will simply "add it" to video, using time reported on subtitle stream

4) be sure to have ffdshow installed, haali media splitter, and of course directx9

5) yes, in 0.96b12 you have divx, AND using hidden fuction (ctrl+9 and ctrf 10) you can activate the hcenc support AND VFW generic support (1 pass and 2 pass)

ps) you can use the appropriate changefps in advanced avisynth panel

thanks for you kind words!

@QUEENFAN

your drf is OK, that's mean that xvid haven't saturated.
question: maybe audio size get counted 2 times ? could you check?
you can also try using SAP Scure profile

Thanks I'll change the audio fps and see if it helps, is there any way to change the timeline of the subtitles? And I definately have haali media splitter but the tray icon doesn't come up till encoding, I'm pretty sure I have ffdshow because I have the k-lite mega codec pack with the 3rd of may update, anyway I'm trying converting to X264 now and will update with the results of changing audio fps

EDIT: I took a look at b12 and it only gave me the option of selecting no audio tracks or all of them, no option to pick an individual track for some reason, didn't think it was worth reporting it as a bug though

EDIT AGAIN: According to the K-lite site I have "ffdshow:

* ffdshow [revision 1937]
* ffdshow VFW interface
* extra plugins"

FINAL EDIT: I decided to encode to 264 without any audio and the video was 24:04 and is now 15:03, on media player classic it says "Video: MPEG4 Video (H264) 320x240 23.98fps [Video]" but on the log it says "Activate Last line AVS Script: ChangeFPS(15.000)" so it should've worked, should I try convert FPS?......any help will be greatly appreciated

Have you tried using the Changefps functionality built into the Advanced profiles Editing tab - select Changefps and 15000,1000. On some testing I've done here this in itself doesn't fix it as when muxing the fps is set to the source fps. You can get around this though manually by editing the muxing.bat file in the temp directory and then running the bat file. There are others here with more experience in changing fps so hopefully they'll see your post and know how to address your need without this manual workaround.

Forget the rest of my answers - I see buzzqw has beat me to them.

Thanks I just seen your post, what are the chances of mine being at the bottom of the page :mad:
I'll try that see if it makes a difference, the reason I didn't use the change fps in the advanced profiles editing is because I had no idead what 24000,1001 meant so just went with last line avs script :p

EDIT: IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS YOU BOTH SO MUCH! Now all I want is to click the preview button without automkv closing, if you guys don't know why it would do that when I've got haali FFdshow and directx10 then I can live without it

EDIT: one more thing, whats better? 2 pass insane quality or anime-maxquality?

Thanks for your help.
Just did two new tests with profiles 2_Pass_Balancedand 2Pass_SAO_Scure and the result had 314,3 MB in each case.
Attached you find Screenshots for my AutoMKV-settings and both logs.

Hope you find something wrong.

Hello,

I really like the program that you have all worked so hard on. Im playing around with it and have a silly question. I endabled QMTrim and picked Diego_7_5 just for grins as I like the filter it uses. I put the -u at 50 and the -c at 5 threshold AUTO. I kinda understand what QMTrim is doing but Im not sure how to get the -u and -c settings. Can anyone give me a good default? Did the AUTO take care of that for me? I can not see where it was applied in the QMTrim.avs file. Thanks

buzzqw

5th June 2008, 07:47

threshold value set how is the "weight" of filters are distribuites across the movie.
the qtrim use 7 levels of filtering from the lightest (could be even a sharpner) to the most denoising.
With a distribuition of 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (total 28 point), you will have that 7/28 of film will have applied the most denoising filter, 4/28 will have a medium filtering, and only 1/28 (less then 4% of film) will have a light filtering

With "Auto" settings, automkv will compile the distribuition (from the no needed denoise 5,4,3,2,1,1,1 , to the most needed denoise 1,2,3,4,5,5,4) computing the compression test made.
So if the compression test/analysis (so i suggest to run a full compression test) reveal a very comprimible movie, automkv will apply a weak denoise ( example 4,5,4,3,2,1,1 here near 50% of movie will be compressed using the first of second filter) BUT on very low CT will apply a serius filtering approach.

about what threshold applyed on automatic setting .. i added in log the info, thanks!

Buzzqw,

Thanks for the explanation of how QMTrim works. I used the Full Compress, Auto for threshold and -u 50 -c 5 with the light_grain_denoise.lvl, this time and I really liked the results. Does using a cfg(eqm_avc_hr.cfg) with the QMTrim hurt or help? Did I overdo the -u setting I noticed that the AUTOMKV choices were 5, 15, or 25. I think I read in one of the many articles about this program that 50 was good. :)

thanks for answering my questions your the best Buzzqw.

Ciao

Wow, I can actually post now. Been waiting 5 days... Crazy rule. Most of this stuff is way over my pay grade but I've read all 39 pages and learned a lot. Anyways, I need some help with settings for changing HDTV mpeg2 files that I recorded OTA to MKV. I've played around with different settings and filters and usually, the encoded MKV file is larger than the original! What I'm trying to do is shrink most of the HDTV shows that I have recorded to about 1/2 their current size. ABC and FOX are 1280x720p and NBC and CBS are 1920x1080i. So, can anyone give me a few good starting point settings that will work with these recorded tv shows? I think shrinking the 1080i files to 720 is a good first step, but I'm not quite sure how to do that. Thanks!

Hello,

I want to encode movies with AR 16:9 to XVID/AVI or x264/MKV with anamorphi encoding (Advanced settings) and to my understanding I should use option AutoCropy Only (Set Width Resolution) together with NONE (Resize filters) but whenever I choose AutoCrop only theres's a resize filter selected and option NONE not possible.

Is this a bug or am I wrong ?
I want too keep the 16:9 AR in my encoded movie and want anamorphic encoding too.

What settings do you use for 16:9 sources if you get best quality and keep AR???

Thanks a lot in advance.

buzzqw

7th June 2008, 13:33

@speedfrk

try using a 2 pass profile and specify the disk settings, don't use quality profile or unlimited file size
usually the default values are good

@QUEENFAN

you can achive AUTOCROP and NO resize only by selecting in advanced settings Manual Crop (and write down the value) AND in main panel NONE as resize.
AutoMKV whenever autocrop will resize for keed the good aspect ratio

@buzzqw

Thanks for your quick answer.

Concerning the encode quality is it better to autocrop with resize (how can I then keep AR 16:9) and without anamorphic or Manual Crop AND in main panel NONE as resize?

I want to keep AR and get best possible quality for my encode.

Thanks Buzz, that seems to work well. The mkv file is still very good quality but a little softer than the original. Is there a filter I should use to sharpen them? Here is another question- one of the local stations broadcasts movies in DTV but it is not HD. So the format is 4x3 with pillarboxes. They always seem to have a white staticy line at the top which needs to be cropped off as well. Since these were originally films but are now broadcast digital what are the best setting to use to convert these? The files are huge- typically 14GB for a 2 hour movie. Here are the typical properties of the mpeg2 file:
Video: MPEG2 Video 1920x1080 29.97fps 65000Kbps [Video]
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 448Kbps [Audio]
Subtitle: DVD Subpicture [Subtitle]

In advanced, should I set the deinterlacer properties to film or just leave it auto?

autocrop with resize will guarantee exact AR, but only with manual crop & resolution you can keep whatever ar/anamorphic you want

If I choose to resize to 1280x720 with no cropping, it works. If I do any cropping, it never outputs a file... just a log which I will copy below. Suggestions?

You need to use even crop numbers - change your 3 to a 4 and it'll probably be ok. You will note that the box you entered the 3 into would have been coloured red - this is to warn you the value will cause problems.

Note that some filters also require your cropped output size to be mod16 - although in this case you've selected NONE as the filter so should be ok.

With '..autocrop with resize will guarantee exact AR..' you mean that if source has 16:9 the destination will have 16:9 AR too?
Do I have to enable anamorphic encoding then?
I can't, because I have to decide wether doing autocrop/resize or anamorphic encoding, do I?

Yes and no !

Only an 'original' anamorphic will absolutely maintain 16:9 ... hence 100% original anamorphic !
Anamorphic with cropping will change the DAR slightly (less black stuff... same picture AR)... but still 99% original anamorphic !!
Any resize will change the DAR ... but 'autocrop with resize' will guarantee the correct AR on playback ... now only 1% original anamorphic !!!

It's all good.

On movies that are originally AC3 3/2 384, what is a good bitrate to choose when transcoding to x264? I have been using 256 but if there is a "point of diminishing returns" bitrate, I'd like to know what that is. Same on the video part- I know that it is all subjective and what looks good to one person is too low quality for someone else, but if there is a general consensus that "xxxxMB/sec" is a good balance for quality vs size that would be a big help since it takes a LONG time to transcode some of these movies!

delacroixp

9th June 2008, 12:24

And how would YOU encode a 16:9 TV-Series DVD-Source?
Anamorphic with cropping or autocrop with resize?
Well... I feel that anamorphic encodings produce fractionally better quality (see post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1097959#post1097959)).
Hence, I go for the (resized) 99% original anamorphic and crop out black matte or ugly edges.
However, black matte causes a neglible filesize penalty.

That said, I do very few encodings and so I take my time, retry, and redo untill it's perfect. I'm very hands on... to the point of encoding the audio with BeSweet/Light (HE 90 kbps profile) and muxing manually.

If your 16:9 TV-series on DVD were Band of Brothers I would take all care that it deserves.

It's all good !

Well... I guess DivX have been trailing the X264 community for so long... that an entry with H264 is quite exciting.

It might even stimulate some competition... DivX have always monopolised the home/amateur encoding market !
Lastime I checked (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1091265#post1091265) MainConcept_H264 was outperforming (quality/filesize/speed) X264 by 5 or 10% (fairly substantial).
Perhaps X264 needs a little help with it's assembler (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1143823#post1143823) routines.

Hopefully, I wont have to lend a hand with the machine code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_code) !!!

I tried it at several different bitrates and it has the same problem, so I set it to the original bitrate to see if that had any effect. They all do the same thing.

I converted a movie- National Treasure- that I recorded off TV and the quality is excellent. The original was 1920x1080i and about 14GB. I converted it to 1280x720p and it is about 8GB. Even on my 1080p TV, it is virtually indistinguishable from the original except for one thing- The problem is that when you watch a scene where the camera pans across an area you see definite stutters. This is most noticeable if the camera is panning across a skyline or landscape. I have seen posts on other forums about this problem but no one seems to have a solution. Any suggestions for what to try?

Hi buzzqw

Thanks

I also noticed that there is chapterextractor included in the package. I presume that this can be used to, funnily enough, extract chapter information, however once I have used this and saved the resulting file, how do I then import that to AutoMKV to add it to the rip, or must I physically use the Chapter Editor to manually enter chapter points.

Sorry for all the questions, however i'm new to all this, but willing to learn

Buzzqw,

I have been still playing with the qmtrim and I do not understand something. If I use the qmtrim lets say for the light all around denoise, I get a file that is for example 17mb. If i disable the qmtrim and use filters that approximate the same light denoise I end up with a file that is significantly smaller say around 10mb. I was wondering if Im doing something wrong with the qmtrim -u =50 t=5?

Is there a way to import the chapter text file such as one made with dvddecryptor?

Buzzqw, first I would like to say the work you have done is amazing. Bravo!!

Ok, I seem to be having a problem when encoding... this is what I do:
I have a bunch of VOBs that make a complete movie, like VTS_01_1,vob, etc to whatever number there are. So, I encode each to WMV, then use a joiner to join the full movie together so its all in WMV. Then, I need to split the movie into its scenes, so I split it into X amount of scenes. This works fairly well. The next part of the process, I need to encode the scenes from wmv to flv, but 1\2 the time it takes FOREVER, and im talking upwards of like 45 mins just to analyze the movie. This is nothx to me, and I was wondering what I have done wrong? Here are some screens:

automkv on ifo input will automatically try to extract the chapters

on non ifo source (like single vob or mpeg..) you can manually load your chapter file (extracted using chapterextractor) or create it

@Cyrus221
thanks for your kind words :)

Enabled FFMPEG Encoding: flv
with this you haven't to select audio codec, or doing deitenterlace analysis (just put to none)

i am not an export of flv.. but you can also try Automen for this kind of simple conversion

try with ffmpegsource, like

Quick question for a noob:
I performed an encode using the Constant Quality profile and left it at 18. Then I did the exact same encode but set it at 17. The filesize with 17 was smaller and quality poorer. I thought the LOWER quality rate meant BETTER quality?

Thanks so much

anyways, what I want to ideally do is encode them to WMV using the WMV9 codec, but I was wondering if there was a more efficient way to encode it? Maybe using a different codec \ container? I want to try to keep the filesize reasonable but the quality still as close to HD as possible. Thanks man :)

I've transcoded several movies I recorded off TV (HD mpeg2) to mkv and I've gotten the setting down that give me a good balance between size and quality. So I'm lovin this program! Thanks buzzqw for all your work/help. But now I want to convert most of my stuff and so I was wondering if getting a quad core cpu will help speed things up. I'm using a dual core C2Duo at 3 GHz and it still takes 8 hours on some movies using the 2 pass balanced. Does autoMKV support more than 2 cores? Also, the new ati and nvidia graphics cards supposedly support h264 encoding in hardware now. How will these cards work with autoMKV?

To answer the encoding question: yes, getting a quadcore will help improve times in most cases. A Q6600@3.6 on good air cooling (like a Core Contact Freezer from sunbeamtech) will destroy your C2D @ 3.0. Most of the 45nm @ 3.0 will also be a lot faster of an encode. As to the nVidia \ ATi, you would have to specifically code for those applications, using CUDA or whatever they use. There are a VERY SELECT few apps that use videocard to help encode, and as to their names im not even sure. Hope that helps.

Yah sure ,quad core... or even quad(quad core) will speed things along pretty nicely but using a CQ-crf (Constant Quality) profile will practically double the speed of your PC all by itself. You may get a huge swing in filesizes from movie to movie... but CQ let's X264 be all that it can be.

Strictly speaking, AutoMKV doesn't even support hyperthreading which is all good... since X264 does all the real work and it supports as many cores as you can throw at it !
However, I wont vouch for X264 if you have a Road (http://www.zdnet.com.au/news/hardware/soa/IBM-breaks-petaflop-barrier-with-PS3-and-AMD-chips/0,130061702,339289730,00.htm)run (http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/extreme_machines/4267979.html)er (http://www.daniweb.com/blogs/entry876.html) stashed in your basement garage.
As to GPU encoding support... we're all waiting for some bright spark to port implementation into X264 (maybe DivX (http://labs.divx.com/node/6535)).

It's all good !

Cool, thanks! So which CQ profile do you recommend? I tried a few test clip and most of them came out larger than the original.
Another question- A movie I recorded last night has a frame rate of 59.94. Here are the stats-
Video: MPEG2 Video 1280x720 59.94fps 15000Kbps [Video]
Audio: Dolby AC3 48000Hz 6ch 448Kbps [Audio]
Subtitle: DVD Subpicture [Subtitle]

When I transcoded it to mkv, it still kept the 59.94 frame rate, but most movies seem to be 29.97 or 23. Is it necessary to keep that high a frame rate and is there a way to set it in autoMKV?

Ive been trying to weeks now to get automkv to work properly.

What I am trying to do is to convert .mkv files into wmv movies (HD) with 5.1 sound.

So far Ive not gotten any good results and I guess Im on my final attempts now.
At first I had problems with a error message and no sound. I managed to work past this.
But now Im completely stuck! Atm. My problem is that the sound is out of sync, its in stereo not 5.1. Ive read through the guide in the automkv wiki regarding this problem but the advanced audio function does not work at all. First off there is no setting channels for wmv and secondly, it wont save anything when I press "ok!" There was something about ffdshow being able to encode wmv 5.1 but this was a bit vague for me to understand.

Could any1 point me in the right direction?
Sorry if my post seem abit short, but Ive got a post on this forum already so I didnt really want to spam this place with the same information.

Another question- A movie I recorded last night has a frame rate of 59.94.
The default value of 18-CQ-crf is near-perfect (sometimes 17 is better). I've had gr8 success with Q20... but even Q22 - 25 can work pretty well depending on your demands (higher values = less quality, smaller files).

I don't think any movies have a framerate of 59.94 ! Some camcorders record at 60 fields per second (2 fields = 1 frame) which is equivalent to 30 FPS.
That said, 60 fields is 'conversion-friendly' and easily converted to 30, 25 or even 24 FPS.

It's all good.

On Advanced Profiles Editing try setting "ChangeFPS" and "30000,1001" or "2997,100".

I'm in PAL Land but have stations here that transmit supposed HD in 720x576 but at 50 fps instead of 25 fps - I use the above to change this down to 25 fps using the above process.

@ikonfokkah

0.96beta12 is the latest version. As you're posting in the 0.95c thread, Ajax_Undone assumed you were using it.

As to the advanced auto options, they are saved when you press OK, but the next time you go back into them they are reset to the defaults. I know it can be a bit annoying if you want to check what you've set, but it's functionality that buzzqw specifically wants.

Sorry I can't help with encoding to WMV as I never use it, but I do know that it's appears to be the most problematic based on posts here.

You're right, we really need to see your log to help locate the problem. Although there may not be any error messages in it, there can be telltale signs for those familiar with some of the common issues encountered.

I converted a movie last night using 17 crf and set the output size to 1 DVD-R and the file came out 12G (the original movie was only 7G!) So I'm doing something wrong. But the quality was great:) Does lowering the framerate to 30 from 60 reduce the file size by half as it seems it would? I've learned that a lot of this stuff is not intuitive.

Not really sure, but there may be limits to achieving your desired filesize if your crf is not "in the ballpark". Buzzqw may be able to provide a clearer answer.

Lowering the framefrate from 60 to 30 would considerably lower the filesize, but from my experience it's not necessarily by half.

TV recorded material is weigh-less than pristine... certainly a level or 2 lower than DVD releases.
That said, CQ 17 is really only geared for the 'best of the best'... for all else, look lower down the line !

It's not that you've done anything wrong... but CQ needs a degree of 'trial and error' before you get it right firstime !
Try again and I'm sure you'll be emminently satisfied with the results.
It bodes well for your encoding into the future.

When I set the framerate to 30, the output mkv file was messed up- people were walking too fast and the audio was way out of sync. So that doesn't work.
From what the others have said, I need to try a much lower crf value. 17 was just what was already selected and since I don't really know what I'm doing yet, I just left it alone. Someone really needs to write a guide with some typical scenarios and starting point settings.

If changefps doesn't work, then you may like to try selecting assumefps in the dropdown (I've seen this suggestion posted by others in the past if changefps is not successful - no personal experience).

For Digital TV recordings I use a crf of 20 (for movies - good quality) to 22 (for tv shows - slightly lower good quality).

I don't know of any HD movies on dvd... I record all of my stuff from OTA broadcast TV. Some of it is very good quality and some is not so good depending on how the TV station broadcast it- 720, 1080, bitrate, etc. They all seem to be compressing it more and more since the file sizes for the same TV shows are lower now than a year ago. That said, you can get some very good stuff if you can record OTA TV. If you live in a metro area, you can usually get perfect reception of the big networks with a small uhf antenna and a usb tv tuner like a Pinnacle HDTV Pro stick. I also have a couple of ati HDTV Wonders in my desktops. I use video redo to edit out commercials- it is fast and easy plus it is supposed to get h/x264 support soon. Free trial, but well worth the money.

Hi have a variety of movies that contain multi-angle vobs. When I load these in AutoGK it askes me to select the desired angle. However, in AutoMKV I do not found a way to select only the desired angle. I know that it is possible to remove them using pgcedit and VobBlanker, but I typically notice the problem after the movie was compressed, on my PMP, and I am off on a plane somewhere without anything to watch. Is there a way to make AutoMKV recognize multi-angle movies and allow me to select the desired angle, or atleast warn me that there are multiple angles and the rip may not turn out as desired?

Cheers, Mike

Well, I converted another movie and used both 2 pass balanced and crf at 22 to compare quality. As far as I can tell, they are the same quality. But the big difference is file size. the crf conversion will not let you pick an output file size so you can't set it to 1 DVD for archiving. It just comes out to whatever size it needs for the quality you pick. But, it is MUCH faster than 2 pass; I guess because it is only using a single pass. Has anyone else done experimenting with this and come to any conclusions about which is better?

Well, I converted another movie and used both 2 pass balanced and crf at 22 to compare quality. As far as I can tell, they are the same quality.
Strictly speaking, CQ-crf should have better quality overall.
The 2-pass keeps an eye on filesize foremost and quality second... the result is that some areas will be fractionally better while others worse...
CQ will be consistently equal.

Of course, if you're encoding HD material and want an exact DVD fit... 2-pass is the only way to go.
I've been encoding 3-part movies (Lord of the Rings I,II,III , Beverley Hills Cops I,II,III , etc...) or a series... into one 10 GB file (+/-) ...
then storing on HDD untill I can burn to Blu-Ray.

Any ideas why my quad core cpu (Q6600) will only use 40-50% while encoding when it used to use 100% all the time? As you might guess, this really slows things down! My old dual core athlon is faster now. I have verified that it isn't the system or cpu by running benchmarks that use all 4 cores 100% with no problems. Is there a setting I might have changed without knowing it?

OK, I tried this and it didn't make any difference. It does use all 4 cores, but just won't use more than about 40%. So it is very slow. When it was using all 4 at 100%, it was encoding an entire 2 hour movie in about 6 hours. Now it is about 13hours. I'm going to try deleting all the the autoMKV stuff and re-download it and start from scratch. Since it doesn't use an installer, there shouldn't be anything in the registry, right?

EDIT- I deleted the old autoMKV folder and downloaded a new copy and it is back to using 100%. So somehow I must have changed something without knowing it. Funny thing is, I don't know what it could be. All I've done is change from balanced 2 pass to constant quality and tried different sharpening filters. So "maybe" it is a bug.

Thanks- it really is fast doing encoding compared to my X2 Athlon. As the prices keep coming down, they will become more mainstream. As it is now, there really aren't that many desktop apps that can use it. But audio and video encoding can use all that you give them and a few games can use multi cores too.

I am new to AutoMKV and have started playing with it to convert my DVD's to MKV's for playback on a Popcorn Hour. I rip the DVD's with ripit4me and then run the vob's through AutoMKV keeping the original audio track. Some of the movies convert fine and play great, but on some the audio is out of sync. On most I notice the audio is ahead of the video by a few seconds. I have tried some of the suggestions from previous post like Use Delay Cut on the advance tab but nothing has helped. Anyone have a suggestion on how to re-sync the audio to the video that is not to complicated or a link to a step by step guide.

It's a good idea to get into the habit of always manually selecting the exact output width and height that you want.

(And it's a necessity for those, like moi, who prefer to create anamorphic output files to be DAR corrected later with MPEG4modifier.)

==//==

Has development of this GUI now ceased? I haven't seen Buzz for over a week, and nothings been going on with the beta for a couple months now. (AutoMKV really, really, really needs its filter base updated with newer degrain and debanding tools.)

Taddeusz

23rd July 2008, 04:28

So when are we going to see an update to AutoMKV? I've been messing around with other tools and the newer x264 has far better quality than the SVN release included with AutoMKV. Particularly in the area of AQ. In fact the AQ settings in the newer releases of x264 are completely different. Macroblocking in dark areas is almost completely gone with the newest x264.

I realize life has intervened but do you have any idea when you'll be able to pick back up?

23rd July 2008, 17:50

If you looked into the forum, you'd see the topic ''AutoMKV 0.96 beta"... So as there is no way to know when bugs will be fixed, only time will tell when the next ver is ready.

Now I have a problem with 0.95c: I'd like to encode in h.264 using a baseline profile, but as I could not find one in the droplist of available profiles, could someone please send me the file for baseline ?

23rd July 2008, 17:53

Oh, wow! Thanks! Never realized there was a new beta running.

BuzzQW, how do I use the command line if I wanted to use the snow codec through ffmpeg

Can I put this in the add to line space?
vcodec=snow:vstrict=-2:vpass=1:vbitrate=$B:pred=0:cmp=2:subcmp=2:mbcmp=1:qpel

Also by using the ffmpeg option what is disabled, just the other codec like xvid and x264 in the main window?

i have 2 problems:
first
i was wondering why automkv crashes if i try to encode dvd with audio track which has been added to DVD..(autoGK does not crash)
automkv does not crash with original audio track but only give error by audio tracks added to DVD.
second
why i do get error width and height of video is too small and avisynth crashes..while encoding
i think it has something to do with filter grain2 used automaticaly

why is this happening anybody knows?
thanks

rkalwaitis

21st August 2008, 06:56

You dont have to use removegrain 2, pick another or none.

But the filter should not be the problem.

Try ripping the file to a folder first.

21st August 2008, 11:11

i do get 2 errors with video:
first - resize: height must be bigger than or equal to 4 (resmovie.avs,line 79)
second - removegrain2 : clip is too small

sometimes first sometimes second do crash....why?

i thought automkv is more about AUTOmative then difficult setup for knowledgable users

Under test 3 your crop of your movie is not divisible by 4. in other words 78 has something left over after it is divided by four. You appear to be trying to processs a dv2 file, made from your vob files. I usually do a avisynth file or process the vob file.

why not process the vob file if its one big one, or the ifo file, (just remember to click process this ifo under the advanced options tab and save settings under the first tab. The file above doesnt know how tall your movie is supposed to be and because he assigns it a 0, the process fails.

yes i have loaded first VOB file of movie...reason is only for testing (file is not that big)and also because if i put IFO file to convert it it will immediately crash with audio cant be properly encoded error...which i have posted here few months before and has not been resolved

this audio error appears only by ifo loaded and when audio track is not original DVD track but has been added...by someone else

even thou both ways it should not crash because autoGK does not crash at all....

so what problems has automkv to encode those files

ps- how do i setup 720 for out height also? i do setup only width 720 in program...

rkalwaitis

21st August 2008, 15:32

it will still crash in ifo mode if you select audio none or no audio processing? You have the latest version of AutoMKV?

you have to make sure the filter you want use is available. Is it one of the ones shown on the first tab?

So if you let it process the original audio track, will it go ahead do the movie with no problems.

something wrong is happening on crops values, please try using manual crop OR don't crop (chose NONE as resizer)

Prolific I looked at your post on avisynth. You do not need to remove a rainbos, you need to deinterlace the film first. Use automkv's under the avdanced tab. Set the deinterlacer to auto and click HQ dienterlace. Set field order to auto as well. Then try.

There are a lot of new powerful filters, intelligent macro-deblockers and other pre-, post- and during-operation gadgets out there, but you need a four-year course in rocket-surgery to figure out how to get AutoMKV to integrate them. I am regrettably beginning to lose hope that I'll ever see an easy to use full GUI which will enable the user to never have to write a string ever again. (God: I cannot believe that 2008 is two-thirds over, and we're still fucking around with command-line gibberish, requiring every single new person to wander into this area of interest to have to needlessly duplicate every painful learning process of every other schleb who came before him. It's just a horrendously, infuriating, maddening, soul-sucking gobbler of TIME.)

2nd'd. If the PROS spent half as much time writing GUI's that implemented the BEST SETTINGS, maybe commerical companies wouldnt own them in video processing. People dont want to learn all this mindnumbing gibberish code, then have to sit there and perform hundreds of tests to figure out if any of the variables do a damn thing (which from my obervations, half of them dont). You'd have to hire a detective to seek out the information this IS out there because its scattered all over the damn place and hidden in filter tutorials and obscure program FAQ's.

1st - BEST settings do not exist... have a look at the forum rules.
2nd - you're insulting the work of ppl that made those GUIs in their free time and for free...
3rd - commercial companies are actually "owned" by the open source projects (like x264 for example... no commercial software can beat it on quality...)
4th - if ppl want to learn nothing, they deserve nothing... also you may as well speak for yourself since most ppl here want to learn... if you dont, then this is not the right place for you. go buy your commercial software and spend a lot of money to find it has problems as well... and wait for some months or even years until they fix it (if they ever do it...).
5th - video encoding, expecially when using new formats/standards, is complicated... it requires time to learn how to master it... as everything else. if you dont want to spend time in understanding it... well that's YOUR problem and again, this is not the right place for you.
6th - if you dont like what the open source community has to offer, LEARN coding some programming language and do it for yourself... as most of the open source coders did... no one is going to serve you your preferred meal for free.
7th - this is not the right thread to discuss those things. btw, the discussion is over, so...

the same is valid for Honeyko too. FYI you both have violated the forum rules 1, 2, 3 and 4 in a single post...

@Honeyko & others: I appreciate that buzzqw is still fixing and improving his project in his (probably very) limited free time. My thank you goes to him and to all other people here (Atak_Snajpera, Dark_Shikari, Didée, Fizick, scharfi's brain, x264 team and many, many others -apologies to everyone not mentioned-) who devote their time to the problems they have no duty to solve.

You could have expressed your wishes in a constructive and polite way. You could have written: "Could you please add this box here and there as this would save the nerves of the newbies? Could you please add these filters into presets?"

I remember quite a few complaints (or frustrations, if you'd like to be more accurate about it) that were launched toward DVD Shrink and Jdobbs back in the days of DVD9-to-DVD5 backups. I believe it even lead to a "free pies" sticky, if memory serves. While I can understand that many people would prefer a simple and basic GUI that has a "make a flawless copy" button on it, the fact is that no such button could EVER exist for the simple fact that quality is subjective; what looks fantastic to me might look like crap to Sharktooth.

So I'm going to chip in and simply add my own heartfelt "Thanks!" to those who choose--of their own free will--to devote portions of their limited time toward creating tools that put US in charge of making our backups in whatever manner WE feel is best. They offer the end user flexibility and nearly endless choices, which is something I have yet to find in any commercial product. That these tools are offered for free makes their offer nothing short of incredible! I feel it's the least I can do to learn how to actually use these tools--not a burdeon: And yes, my time's as limited as the next person's.

Thanks again to all the developers. I for one deeply appreciate all of your hard work!

Wow, a couple of people made some constructive criticism and cheerleaders flood in to block them out, not much has changed since highschool has it?

I agree with ettin and honeyko, but its not even about fancy GUI's or easy presets, theres just no information aside from some dry and rather two dimensional explanations about what their filters/encoders/settings can do. Instead of its creator spending some extra time writing a detailed description and explanation of each feature, they write a line or two mentioning that it exists and that it does in fact do something, but leaves you wondering what, so then you spend hours just trying to figure that out for yourself.

No, they dont have to do anything for anyone and i guess its cool that they've done anything at all, but if your going to put something out there for people to use and not offer an indepth guide for its use, dont expect to be taken seriously. But hey, i guess if these programmers wanted people to take them seriously, industry professionals would be using "AutoMPEG2" instead of CCE.

I notice in the changelog at the start of the thread it says " Fixed some pop up windows" I am in the process of ugrading to 0.95, only started using AutoMKV yesterday been using MeGUi but at present for me it is too unstable and AutoMKV seems to have a lot of options I like.

There have been only two issues one after I start queue and AutoMKV starts encoding I keep receiving pop ups in notepad such as set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
objShell.Run """C:\Documents and Settings\home\My Documents\Downloads\Music Videos\Complete\temp\movielenght.bat""",7,True and the encoding will not continue until I close them. Is this what is fixed in 0.95c ? Or is there an option to disable this behaviour?

Qtrim failed in every instance on 0.93 but I will test out this on 0.95c first. It really is the pop up windows that I am troubled about.

The rest seems awesome it actually appears it may actually be a complete one program does all solution, but I guess will have to test it further yet. :)

@flebber

please try the 0.97 the vbscript for movielenght is resolved (and btw wasn't a problem.. just you miss some components for launching vbscript .. maybe your antivirus blocking it ?)

@Poof
automkv isn't my job, just an hobby. So, feel free to use it or not, and.. when mastered, please.. update the wiki

HI All

Been away for a while, and haven't kept up with the posts.
I am having issues with audio sync and have tried all the different settings available with no luck.
Is there any other way of fixing issues with audio sync

Thanks

@Prolific

your script is ok, please open it with virtualdub, do you get any error ?

also, check your c:\program files\avisynth2.5\plugins folder and RENAME the plugins folder to plugins-old

i can suppose you have some weird filters in avisynth plugins folder that is automatically loaded.. and break the script

I confirm the preview problem remains in the latest beta version. A few points:

1. When choosing preview in the latest beta the "original aspect ratio" is not set .. this was automatically set in version 0.95.

2. The failure to preview results in the bottom controls being not functional (play, pause etc). The AutoMKV interface is similar to the picture posted in Post 157. However the other interface controls (cropping, Accept, Cancel, Preview resized) all function .. If I select "Preview Resized" then the movie renders correctly in the new window. This problem is specific to a VOB file .. The VOB files that fail to "preview" will fail repeatedly. I have used gspot and graphedit to view which codecs are used by the VOB .. they are the normal codecs required for all other VOB's. In fact GSPOT and Graphedit can play these VOB's with no problem (just like the Preview Resized routine will also play them.)

I find autoMKV to be a very useful program ... although it is somewhat daunting to figure out what all of the options are and when/which filters are usefull ...

Hi,

I want to encode video and put all audio and all subtitles (different languages) from DVD into x264 MKV. Do I need any other tools other then AutoMKV to make this happen? If no then what settings I need to use?

buzzqw

17th October 2008, 08:14

yes , automkv can do this (but i suggest to update to 0.97.1) simply select "All audio tracks" and "All subtitles"

Thanks, that works as advertised. The only issue in resulting MKV file languages from original DVD were called "Unknown". I had 2 (Russian and English) and both of them become "unknown" in resulting MKV file.

18th October 2008, 22:37

@artisticcheese
yes you are right in case of "all audio" and "all subs" you loose the "language" tag

since you have only 2 audio and 2 subs.. better to select these with first and second audio and subs tracks :)

Hello. This is my first post here at doom9 :) I've been using AutoMKV for awhile and think that it's a great program. It has some issues but none that can't be worked out IMO. Well done to those involved.

Alright some issues with 0.95c. First, when I try to use the two-pass VC1 profiles it doesn't work. One pass Quality VBR works. Maybe it's a slight problem with the script. The WMA volume is much lower than it should be. It doesn't matter if I have volume normalization on or off. When using x264 or Xvid no problems. In Windows Media Encoder 9 when the source file has AC3, the AC3 output volume can be adjusted with AC3Filter as a plugin. The other issue is the rar file with DVD Decrypter doesn't extract. I was wondering if I could just add it manually anyways. Any suggestions?

Hi Wizecat

wmv support in automkv is very limited, sorry

mainly because Microsoft don't provide usefull/complete/fuctional command line tool to encode (audio and video)

sorry pal, but till situation is as is.. wmv will be the black sheep

Thanks for the reply buzzqw. That's unfortunate Microsoft doesn't have a command tool that will work with sound as well as video. :( A big company like that, should think bigger.

I am happy to say though that ac3 and mp3 sound is just about right when encoding using AutoMKV.

I have been trying my hand at encoding .ts files to .mkv using automkv0.95c. I have two questions. My .ts file has mepg2 video and 6ch ac3 audio. When I load the file into automkv it only loads the video and it will not let me select the audio. So I am using tsmuxer to demux the ac3 and load it into the audio portion that way. It's not a big deal, just a couple extra steps, I'm just wondering if I am doing something wrong.

My other question is about the profiles. The wiki says: "The profiles are organized according to quality and speed. Remember that the slowest profiles do not always correspond to significantly higher quality than the normal profiles.

Remember also that for an Unlimited/Unconstrained file size (aka I want Quality) is much better to select Constant Quality Profile, not the 2 pass profile. The Constant Quality profile allow user to select the quality to achive while encoding in 1 pass at reasonable speed. There is no reason to encode in 2 pass aiming for quality, because the quality will be maximized only using Constant Quality profile"

Does this mean that if I select the bitrate under advanced settings that I should be encoding with the Constant Quality profile? If I don't choose the bitrate and choose to encode to a specific file size instead what advantage am I getting by using 2-pass over 1-pass, or the slower versions of the 2-pass? What do the slower profiles do if the wiki says they don't necessarily give you a higher quality? I know you didn't write the wiki I was just hoping you could clear that up for me.

@pilot550

first of all use the latest build not this old 'one

Does this mean that if I select the bitrate under advanced settings that I should be encoding with the Constant Quality profile?
no, absolutely
manual bitrate is to use only for forcing BITRATE , and bitrate is used in 1 pass or 2 pass encoding , NOT on crf encoding

forcing "specify quality" (under manual bitrate) is a way , for newby, to use quality profiles without knowing the meaning of quantitizer..., setting quality to 75% is easier than set quant to 2.7

If I don't choose the bitrate and choose to encode to a specific file size instead what advantage am I getting by using 2-pass over 1-pass, or the slower versions of the 2-pass?
if you want encoding for specific size, is always better to use a 2 pass profile (the balanced is a good choice)
if you don't mean size, use a constant quality profile

Thank you, that clears up a lot. I think I'm starting to get it now. I found the latest build as well.

Firstly if you want people to use the latest build why isn't it linked on the first post of this thread? You can't blame people for using the build that's actually on the first post.

Second that build doesn't even install. I downloaded it and all that happens is I get an error message telling me that there is an .txt file missing or something.

This thread is a bloody mess. Is it too much to ask for someone to put a link to the latest working version of the program on the first post of the thread, where everyone who comes here is obviously going to look for it? So far I've downloaded 5 different versions of this from various download sites and none of them have been the full version or wouldn't install. As far as I can tell this whole thing is just a crock of shit.

I used AutoMKV and I converted 5 different MKV movies to AVI. But to my horror none of them could be audible or had no audio coming out. Video played nicely at top quality but the audio didnt come at all. I have all necessary codecs installed mentioned in this page. Can anyone help me where I went wrong or what I forgot to do.

Steps That I took for (MKV to AVI) Conversion.

Input File > Choose Container, Codec & Profile (AVI, XVID, 2 Pass Insane Quality)
> Audio Track 1 (Stream #0.1 Audio:aac, AC3 Stereo) Advanced Audio Option (CBR, Frequency 41000)
> Resizers (Set width Resolution = Original) > Output size/Name Option ( 1cd, Name of the movie)
> Start Encoding.

I am also posting One of the Logs to see where and what caused the problem.

If you enter the log in [code] ... /code] tags you can post the complete log !

That said, I have also experienced many problems while encoding ... sometimes because of AutoMKV, othertimes because of Windows, hardware or simply my own iggerance.
I am hardly the greatest encoder ever but AutoMKV has certainly been my altime favourite encoding app.

If there is anyway we could help in improving your computing experience ... please don't hesitate to ask !!

It's all good !

I too like the output quality of this software, but it has so many problems. Well you know my problem right. So let me tell you ones again. I'm trying to convert a 300mkv movie to 700mb avi movie by using automkv 0.98.1. I have all the necessary codecs. Go through the post #928 & #936.

Now you tell me what should I do,Give the steps of conversion and then after converting the movie i will post the log here and then you can verify.

Help me. I dont know why my conversions dont have audio.

And Also a small bug in the software. If Advanced option for Audio Encoding(DO NOT TOUCH) is clicked the programs automatically shuts down.
