AutoMKV 0.96 BETA Need Tester! (beta 12 )

[Honeyko]

i've got a question about settings, and how to go from 1080p to 720p video with automkv. if its even possible?Sure. Use the resize tool with settings of 1280x720.

[DivXko]

Again i have problem with exact file seze.
I rip a dvd with dts and i want automkv to make 1,36gb size in Xvid extream profile, but the final size is 1,08gb.
Then i try x264 codec and have file 1,36Gb. I think have same problem whit xvid coedec or something else. Only when i encode in Xvid more then 1gb file is not the desire file size.
Sometimes when select 2CD in Xvid the final size is 700+700+9 MB.
(I try same movie in autogk and final size is 1,36Gb). I have diverent final size because i use extream profile?

@DivXko

Possibly a question of filters?

i.e. you're specifying RemoveGrain & Simpleresize filters in AutoMKV and ending up saturating the encoder, whereas in AutoGK it's choosing filters to hit your target size while avoiding saturation (I'm not sure how AutoGK selects filters but I know it does the choosing, and it's not making the same choices). You're not "comparing apples with apples".

[Honeyko]

BUG: If you encode an audio file which is located in the same directory as a video file you've just encoded, and you haven't quit/restart AutoMKV between them, AutoMKV somehow thinks you're trying to encode a video as well audio (and will pop up an alert that movie.avs could not be found during final muxing). This occurs even if you manually trash everything in the Temp folder inbetween projects.

@Honeyko

AutoMKV somehow thinks you're trying to encode a video as well audio

i will look, thanks

BUG: FFmpeg is creating its .VOB.ffa1cache and .VOB.ffv0cache outside of the Temp folder.

partialy fixed in next update

If so, recommend certain automatic selections when various AC3 files are picked:
(When encoding XviD....)
5.1 AC3 .... auto-pick Lame DPLII 192 Kbps
2.0 AC3 .... auto-pick Lame Stereo 112 Kbps
AC3 with one channel ... auto-pick Lame Mono 112 Kbps

i prefer to let user select

@Hogmeister

please post the log of problematic encoding

@DivXko

Zacoz can be right about saturation

please try to use the SAP profile, should be less problematic then extreme

well i'm using beta 12 now and it seems to be working just fine now.. no idea whats changed other than the date on my calendar ;)

when converting to x264 the first x264 window opens up and does its thing fine (takes a while longer than i recall it used to taking, but it works so i'm not complainign) the second time it appears it goes to 72.5% (happened twice now, same movie though not sure if its got anything to do with it) and then it faults out saying x264.exe wants to close in an unexpected way and it closes.. then automkv continues its thing and appears to continue with the whole conversion process...

i'd post the logs but it doesn't even show anything with the x264 fault in it, just in the cmd prompt and also windows says the program has closed... going to try it again to see if i can't get it to fix itself.

(thanks go to honeyko, i forgot about the manual crop feature.. i was just using the resize drop down in the basic settings, and 720 i was assuming would be 720x480 or whatever it is for standard def so i didnt want to use that)

@Hogmeister

the second time it appears it goes to 72.5% (happened twice now, same movie though not sure if its got anything to do with it) and then it faults out saying x264.exe wants to close in an unexpected way and it closes.. then automkv continues its thing and appears to continue with the whole conversion process...

it's the deinterlace analysis. If it fails the deinterlace will fail too.. and so automkv will not deinterlace your source

on my experience it crash only if input isn't a mpeg2 file
if is this case, try checking "Use FFmpegSource"

about 720.. automkv will Autoresize, to 720*xxx, where xxx is computed on ar of movie

I'm having a weird problem.

I have a standard DVD backed up to my HD and I am then encoding it using x264 CRF20. I'm selecting FILM and TFF (verified with DGIndex).

If I Check Anamorphic, the video encodes and plays fine, but ReClock gives me the message "Video Stream Not Found".

If I uncheck Anamorphic and encode again, Reclock finds the stream like normal and everything works fine.

I've tried this with 5 different DVD backups, same result.

Here is the log from one that I check Anamorphic and I get the ReClock error above:

Any ideas?

[buzzqw]

@noee

Without ReClock (with mpc or vlc) have you errors ?

i don't use (and also don't know well) reclock .. so i cannot help :(

BHH

[noee]

Well, I'm using Reclock to change 23.976fps film to 24fps to match my monitor (1920x1080@24Hz) and my preferred playback tool is JRiver's Media Center with EVR renderer (XP SP3).

I get the same results with MPC-HC and MPC, Reclock can't find the video stream.

This only started with the .96Beta. With .95 encodes, Reclock works fine, whether I encode anamorphic or not.

Let me restate: If I don't check anamorphic, it works fine with Reclock. If I do check anamorphic, Reclock gives me the error.

Does that make sense?

HTH,
Mike

[buzzqw]

it make sense, but i can think it's a problem of reclock compatibility with mkv and ar signaling.

may i suggest to create a short sample and ask support at reclock site ? (or here at players section)

i am unable to debug reclock problems

sorry

BHH

[Ajax_Undone]

AutoMKV Installer Updated both 95c and 96b12 w/rebuild of Koepi's Xvid Codec...

Enjoy

P.S. it looks as though ReClock "DSF" hasn't been touched in 3 years... (22/12/2005) last update...

[RickA]

Greets,

noee,
What happens if you try dgpulldown instead of reclock? I have used dgpulldown to convert PAL 25fps progressive to NTSC progressive 29fps with great success and no audio sync probs.

I'm not sure if it works on MKV content. So you may have to demux your dvd vid from the audio. Run dgpulldown on the vid, mux back before using AutoMKV on it. An extra step or two but if it works properly ...

Also, I do not believe dgpulldown works in the other direction. Such as 29fps to 25fps. Good luck.

Oh, I believe in post #344 Buzz said that we do not need to check anamorphic with 96beta. It carries over the proper aspect ratio. If you leave the content at original and not resizing. I've not used vers95 and think one had to set anamorphic with orig size. If that helps. --Did I read that correctly?

Cheers,
Rick


Thanks Ajax on the new installer.

[noee]

Alright, I'll dig in a little further. It could be that just leaving the Anamorphic unchecked is going to be just fine with this new version.

Thanks for the suggestions.

[buzzqw]

@Ajax_Undone
thanks, i will update link!
@noee AND RickA

I've not used vers95 and think one had to set anamorphic with orig size. If that helps. --Did I read that correctly?

i can confirm that in 0.96xx there is no need to check anamorphic if users don't crop/don't resize.
Previusly (on 0.95c) you need to check "anamorphic" to keep the correct ar , when not resize/not crop

Hi buzzqw,

Automkv seems to be crashing when i try and encode with show enc. stats disabled.

[Spreeni]

buzzqw,
sorry for my late answer
i'll verify why you must always ceck cbr
Very nice, thank you. But nevertheless let me explain the idea I had: My thought was, that the inexperienced user would'nt look into the advanced audio options. For those it would be better, to set the programm's defaults to CBR instead of ABR because of the better compatibility. On the other hand I'm not shure if today VBR MP3 is a real compatibility-problem anymore. I know, it was some years ago and in deed I only know of the panasonic chipsets which make trouble with VBR-MP3-AVIs. Unfortunately I own one of those DVD-players... :(

Something different:
I have (again) a suggestion for the 'safe deinterlacer'. After several encodings I had still some (but very few) cases, where the analyse routine could not decide for progressive or interlaced. For example:
#1

#1 is a bad telecined movie (tv recording), #2 is a documentary with mixed progressive/interlaced stuff. What do you think about making the 'safe option' really safe and force the routine in those cannot-decide-if-interlaced-or-progressive-cases always to use the (hq) deinterlacer?

[Hogmeister]

@Hogmeister



it's the deinterlace analysis. If it fails the deinterlace will fail too.. and so automkv will not deinterlace your source

on my experience it crash only if input isn't a mpeg2 file
if is this case, try checking "Use FFmpegSource"

about 720.. automkv will Autoresize, to 720*xxx, where xxx is computed on ar of movie

BHH


thanks for the response, you're a nice developer :)


the crashing is kind of confusing me, it works on the first pass through the analysis, then on the second one it makes it 72.5% of the way through it. it's using a blu-ray m2ts file right off the dvd (its on my hard drive, but its a direct copy of it)... not sure if that matters at all.

about the crashing, is it not worth my time to continue the conversion process past that point if it does crash?( i didnt even think to see if the video is interlaced, i assume it is tho, so yeah probly dumb of me) also, will selecting Use FFmpegSource make it not deinterlace the footage or will it do a different method?

and last but not least, thanks again :) no worries if you can't help me, i really am a noob at this stuff, its not the end of the world if i dont figure this out.

BUG: In the change FPS settings, 15000/1000 should be 15000/1001. 2997/100 is repeated twice. (This whole list needs to be looked over.)

BUG: The value in a checkmarked "Use CRF for AutoResize Routines" will always change to 2 if you move back and forth through varies tabs, and then come back to check it again.

BUG: The box for normalize audio is always checked when you reopen the expert audio settings -- even when you've set it to NOT normalize.

[AMED]

BUG: The box for normalize audio is always checked when you reopen the expert audio settings -- even when you've set it to NOT normalize.I'm pretty sure this is not a bug, if you unselect normalise and start an encode it won't normalise. It just if you look at it again in expert audio seetings it will re-enable.

[zacoz]

BUG: The box for normalize audio is always checked when you reopen the expert audio settings -- even when you've set it to NOT normalize.

AMED's right, it's by design. Any time you reopen the Advanced Audio settings they will be reset. So you need to set and forget (or is that not forget you've disabled normalise). Unfortunately there's no way to check what you've got it set to without running a test prepare/encode, or just going into it and setting again to your desired settings. Buzzqw is very adamant that this will not change (I don't have time to link to his posts atm though).

[Honeyko]

I hate it.

I hate it when anything automatically changes from what I set it to, and particularly when it could do that while an encode is already in progress. -- That sort of thing guarantees problems and complaints from users until the end of time.

Most of the stuff in "Advanced Audio" really isn't that "advanced" to begin with. IMO, audio should be given its own page or tab, with everything having nice little checkboxes that stay the way you set them.

[Zow]

I am getting close, but still no cigar.... I am ripping movies now, which have more than one part. Everything works great, except that when I rip VTS_2 (the second part), it always is out of sync. Both Cleopatra and Ben Hur, for instance, have the audio perfect in VTS_1, but totally out of sync on VTS_2.

Here is the Code:...

Still struggling with this. I merged VTS_01_1 and VTS_02_1 into one continuous VOB, using JoinVobFiles. AutoMKV still has audio out of sync on part 2.

Interestingly, I tried some of the other apps, like MEninX, and the audio is fine (but there are other problems - it stops ripping before the end of the movie.)

Is anyone else experiencing this with 2-disc movies?

[zacoz]

@Zow

Never processed such a disc myself - never seen one to be completely honest.

Is the output out of sync a constant amount, or progressively getting out of sync? The former could be fixed by remuxing and applying a delay using for example mkvmerge GUI. The later is a bit more tricky as you'd need to increase or decrease the audio rate to get it to match the video (bit of trial and error required) - I believe you can do so in the advanced audio settings, but not sure how, or use a separate program to just encode the audio.

As buzzqw suggested following your previous post, it may be related to a ripping problem. Have you tried using a different ripper (e.g. RipIt4Me)?

[Hogmeister]

just wanted to say thanks to buzzqw and Ajax_undone (for his installer).. got my first blu-ray movie converted and made into 720p MKV file :) not sure why but once i used ajax's installer thingy and the next time i tried to convert the file, it worked.

of course it still crashed w/ the analysis but looking at the log it clearly said 100% of the footage was progressive anyway so no big deal i'll just turn deint to NONE next time so it doesnt waste my time.

appreciate your hard work, going to try another movie today :) might even try the subtitles thing as well if i can figure out which file they are on the bluray disc lol oh well i'm excited, huge thanks :) turned out great

[noee]

Most of the stuff in "Advanced Audio" really isn't that "advanced" to begin with. IMO, audio should be given its own page or tab, with everything having nice little checkboxes that stay the way you set them.

If users could vote for features, I'd vote for this one. Good idea.

:D

[Aylwin]

in 0.95c AutoMKV was "unable" to determine correct PAR of movie IF user use ORIGINAL as resize (so no crop, no resize)

In 0.96B XX i added a workaround so if user don't resize automkv will apply orignal AR of movie, this is the same as checking "Anamorphic Encoding".I hadn't noticed this. I remember asking for "Anamorphic Encoding" to be automatically checked if user selects "Original" in previous versions. But this solution is even better. Thanks!

[AdAstra]

If users could vote for features, I'd vote for this one. Good idea.

:D

i consent to that

[DivXko]

Can you make in automkv update button for automatic update x264 or other program!

BUG: Found that if you queue up a DVD source, followed by a non-DVD source (separate m2v & mps files in my case),
then start processing the queue, the mkvaudio.avs is not generated correctly for the DVD source.

@buzzqw

"preencode to lossless" did not work - same result...

SUGGESTION #1: Add a "copy video" option, so that we can process projects for which we only want to re-encode the audio. (This will enable us to skip a lot of annoying steps manually de-muxing and re-muxing.

SUGGESTION #2: Enable different settings for multiple audio tracks (rather than just "All"). I.e., so a 5.1 track can be converted to 192kbps DPLII, a 2.0 to 112kbps stereo, and mono to mono -- all at once.

Greets buzzqw,

I have some questions for you about the Normalize Audio setting if you don't mind. No, these are not complaints. ;-)

- Are they your own settings or those of BeSweet, etc?
- What DB level are normalizing to... 0 DB, -5 DB, -10 DB?
- Are you using peak values or RMS?
- What if we select the Copy Original audio, is it still normalized? I prefer to keep the original AC3 so I can feed it via digital output to my home sound system for it to decode the DD5.1+

I ask these mostly out of curiousity. Thanks.

Cheers,
Rick

[buzzqw]

@RickA

i use soundout plugin, by Sh0dan (search in forum)
for normalizing: .. i use the normalize of avisynth
from avisynth manual
By default the clip is amplified to 1.0, that is maximum without clipping - higher values are sure to clip, and create distortions. If one volume is supplied, the other channel will be amplified the same amount.

The calculation of the peak value is done the first time the audio is requested, so there will be some seconds until AviSynth continues.

on copy audio NO, no normalization is done (and.. btw it's impossible to apply a normalization to Ac3 without reencoding)

Hello all & especially buzzqw

Is there a way to use some delogo filter with x264-mkv so that x264.exe does the encoding, or will there be that possibility in the future versions of automkv?

There seems to be an issue with the manual cropping & resize; it leaves a few pixels wide black bar on the top of the video, this affects at least many of the ones with thick cropping(ie. widescreen video on 4/3 frames). But when I cropped 5 lines over the top it didn't have any black lines...
It seems that the preview window isn't showing video correctly, virtualdubmod shows that 69 lines has to be removed from the top of the frame of this certain mpeg2-video but automkv's preview-window is showing that 67 will be enough

Trimming would be more useful if you'd implement it to cut frames from beginning of the video also, say with -(minus)values

Trimming also seems to act confusingly. Last night I compressed 12 vids, the 10th were to be trimmed(ok, did it) but then I cleared the frame number from the trim box but also the last 2 vids were trimmed the same way.
An our ago I tested 2 vids, first was to be trimmed and second was to test if it still trims although the cleared trim box. Now it did not trim on either case. The logs of these showed it to be as the videos resulted

Then there is still the log of one job(the settings are same for all the jobs except resize/cropping and mvdenoise is disabled when testing, that's why the log's posted):Stream Type: MPEG2 Program

[Crono141]

For some reason, it looks like AutoMKV is having trouble reading its own xml profiles. When I load any profile and check the profile page, I see this

????????????????????????????????????????????=????????????????????????†???'???????????†??????????????????†???????????†?????????????††??????????????†???????????????†??????????????††??????????????†???????????????????†?????????????????????†???????????????????????†???????????????????†????????????????†????????????????†????????????????????†??????????????????†???????????????????†???????????????†????????????????†????????????????†?????????????????†???????????????†????????????†?????????????????†?????????????†???????????????†????????????????????†?????????????????†????????????????†?????????????????†???????????????†???????????????????†????????????????†???????????????????†??????????????????††??????????????†???????????†??†??????????†??†????????????†?????????????†????????????†???????????†????????????†????????????????†??????????????????†???????????????????????????

I thought it might have been just a display error, but when I looked at the wmvprofile.prx, it showed the same string, and not the actual profile. This happens even after trying to restart AutoMKV

EDIT:

Nevermind. User Error. I accidentally installed the new beta over the old .95 version.

Hi,

I suggest you should put a WARNING! in your top post saying this tool will overwrite it's children apps in their original location, thereby screwing correct operation of other Encoder-GUI's that use them. :thanks:

[Honeyko]

BUG/RECOMMENDATION: When you select "Insane Quality", AutoMKV should wipe out any conflicting settings (such as a Custom Matrix, % quality or a CRF/CQ setting) when Start Encoding is clicked, as well as when the user first selects Insane.

Failure to do, without any alert, merely wastes hours of the encoder's time producing bloated output vastly larger than the file-size he chose.


(You can notice something is amiss in XviD, anyway, if the encraw that appears first isn't named "First Pass".)

[Hogmeister]

i've ran into a snag, both Superbad and 2001: A Space Odyssey went great once i installed automkv using the installer posted earlier.

well now i'm trying Resident Evil: Extinction, and oddly enough 2001 ASO used eac3to to demux the m2ts file but with Resident Evil it uses DGAVIndex. not sure whats different but oh well figured i'd say something since i dont know which is supposed to be used and why one would be used over the other.

anyway onto the problems: needless to say its back to its old shenanigans where it would sit on normalizing audio forever when going to AC3 DPLII from an AC3_3_2ch_448kbps directly off the bluray. i let it run for HOURS today just to see if it would change (tried a couple times also) but nothing changed.

i did this same conversion with a space odyssey and it went without a hitch, took about 30 minutes maybe a little longer with that movie.

so anyway, after a long time of waiting i decided to end the process of normalization and let it do its encoding. so it did, while it was encoding i figured i'd take a nap and i wake up to find it completely done.. the resulting file is a .264 but it isn't normal, like it skips every now and again and i dont think its doing a proper second pass, not sure though.

heres the log:

Hi,

I suggest you should put a WARNING! in your top post saying this tool will overwrite it's children apps in their original location, thereby screwing correct operation of other Encoder-GUI's that use them. :thanks:

I gather you must have used the "Easy Installer by Ajax_Undone", as otherwise it's just a case of unzipping the AutoMKV files into a directory of your choice without touching other apps / GUI's?

@Ajax_Undone

Does the installer do something strange / wipe directories before installing the apps?

[RickA]

Thankyou, buzzqw. Just the info I was looking for about the normalizing.

Wishfull thinking on my part, but... I was wondering if you thought of adding some kind of networked LAN encoding ability in the future to AutoMKV? Something like what RBFarm did with DVD-RB and CCE. So one could use their multi-computer home LAN to create our .mkv files. :-)

Cheers,
Rick

Ok, now I have a real problem (as opposed to the not real problem a few posts up :) )

Trying to rip Stargate DVD to WMV with 5.1 audio (original). I've done it twice now. The first time I got a 1.2 gig file that looked terrible. I used 1_pass_cq_VC1 profile with specify quality at 90, and used 90% quality on audio. When I ran the file, it looked like garbage (big blocks in foggy scenes, etc.) So the second time I used 2_pass_VC1_peak with audio at 75% and video at 95%. This produced a 5.5 gig file (yipes!) with stuttering playback.

I checked the bitrate data on both files. The first file (1 pass CQ) had an Audio Bitrate of 5028 kbps and a video bitrate of 956 kbps, which seems backwards. The second file (2 pass peak) had an audio bitrate of 50000 kbps and video bitrate of 33107 kbps. Yeah, Audio of Fifty Thousand Kbps. 30k for video is also about 10x or so larger than expected, as I have other rips with very nice quality at 4000 kbps.

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: I ran the files through Gspot (instead of just taking window's word for the bitrate data) and the 1st file shows:

audio: 0x01:48000Hz 384 kb/s tot (6 chnls)
video: VC-1 Adv (WMP11) 4554kbps.

Second file:

audio: 0x01:48000Hz 256 kb/s tot (6 chnls)
video: 49808 kbps.

Maybe Windows explorer gets its bitrate data from the moon, but 50k kbps on video still seems outrageously high.

@Crono141

So the second time I used 2_pass_VC1_peak with audio at 75% and video at 95%

using 2 pass peak AND specifing quality mean nothing. In 2 pass profile or 1 pass profile (not the "CQ" profile) the only value used for video bitrate, is computed on disk settings.
Since you have specifed "13:13:09 Selected Size: Don't care about size / 1" automkv will go high as possible for bitrate (the don't care for size aim for 32GB file size)

about stuttering and more, i can only suggest actually to use wmv9, seems that vc1 encoder is too far for being usable
