ASXGui 1.9.4 (Any Video to MP4/x264/AAC or MKV/x264/AC3)

[morphinapg]

ok...will try that out for fun...I could just use yamb to demux then as needed.

or perhaps you could just put yamb in your tools folder and at the end of your mkv encode, just run in background a demux and optional deletion of the .mkv.

just a thought...

Yamb would work for MP4s, but I think you'd need to use MKVextract for MKVs

[morphinapg]

could you also put a tick-box for no resize?

Are you referring to anamorphic sources? I guess I could. Otherwise auto-resize and auto bitrate would act the same. You could also custom resize to the original resolution. I defaulted ASXGui to a 1:1 pixel aspect because some players may not detect a non-square PAR.

[ron spencer]

the no resize it just easier than entering in the same resoultion. I am just thinking that this program, with a few minor editions, could be a superb creator of elementary streams for blu ray authoring (or even just using txmuxer to movie only). In this case, one would never want to resize their home videos. This tool could become a two-in-one thing quite easily; one for re-doing movies, and another for encoding home movies from DV or HDV. Really cool actually.

I am gonna try to get a blu ray writer before Christmas...then try it out this way.

I've already definitely been using this to prepare all my home HD videos for blu-ray discs already. But another thing I need to add is the ability to add black bars where needed, as blu-ray only accepts certain resolutions (like 1920x1080 and 1280x720)

[ron spencer]

acceptable blu ray is:

1280x720 (720p), 1920x1080 (1080i), or 1920x1080p (1080p)

Despite this, some standalones will play 720x480 muxed into blu ray.

Glad you are using this for home movies!!! Very promising.

One other thing I thought of, perhaps a no audio option?

can't wait for V2, but take your time!!!

did u set it up so abort will not delete files?

Yeah 480i/p is allowed (used with a lot of movies for special features) I also think 1440x1080 and maybe 1280x1080 are allowed as well. But to be safe I've been encoding all my recordings at 1920x1080 @ 23.976 fps anyway

I thought I already did this, but I'll check it out

[morphinapg]

Okay, I tested and I didn't have any problems during the script checking phase using huffyuv encoded files. I tried both decoding using huffyuv and ffdshow, and both passed. I'd suggest updating/reinstalling your codecs and see if that fixes the problem.

[ron spencer]

to what are you referring?

[ron spencer]

also curious...why are the profiles not given in the download and are needed to be downloaded? Not a big deal, but the profiles are a small file why not include them?

[morphinapg]

I was referring to the problem raunchy was having with huffyuv video input.

also curious...why are the profiles not given in the download and are needed to be downloaded? Not a big deal, but the profiles are a small file why not include them?

Well if I included them in the download, they would overwrite any custom profiles the user has created. Technically, I have a way that would prevent that currently implemented with the file that stores which option panels the user leaves open. I came up with that after I already had the profiles set up online, so I didn't really think about it. I could probably figure it into 2.0.

[ron spencer]

any other sources for presets that can be used?

[morphinapg]

any other sources for presets that can be used?

No, the profiles are exclusive to ASXGui, it would be too hard to translate others to my format.

[Mary H]

I tried ASXGui on my copy of Dreamgirls Blu-Ray (an m2ts file created by TSMuxer) and everything seemed to be going smoothly. I set it to use the original AC3 audio and a filesize of 8192 MB, to fit on a dual layer DVD for archiving. The output tab showed that the final size would be 7.63 MiB. However, when the encoding job was finished, the file size was bigger than the original m2ts!

Original: 29.9 GB
MKV file: 36.9 GB

What did I do wrong? Here are shots of the settings, with the Input and Output panes.

Thanks! I really like the software, but if I can't control the file size it won't work out very well for me.

[lignicolos]

Well, I'm really digging this program. It's working out as a great alternative to Nero Recode (for a dummy like me). The only thing is, it takes a REALLY long time to complete the audio portion of the transcode. The audio is 41 minutes long yet it's taking hours to convert a 6 channel ac3 stream to a 2 channel aac stereo mix. I've noticed it's the avs2wav program taking the longest. My machine has a 2.8ghz Core2 in it so I don't think that's the bottleneck. I am running Vista though, could that be it?

Directshowsource("D:\Video\mobile.source\mobile.mkv", fps=23.976,seekzero=true)
a=Delayaudio(0)
flr = GetChannel(a, 1, 2)
fcc = GetChannel(a, 3, 3)
lrc = MixAudio(flr, fcc, 0.2646, 0.1870)
lfe = GetChannel(a, 4, 4)
lrc = MixAudio(lrc, lfe, 1.0, 0.1870)
bl = GetChannel(a, 5)
br = GetChannel(a, 6)
sl = MixAudio(bl, br, 0.2291, 0.1323)
sr = MixAudio(bl, br, -0.1323, -0.2291)
blr = MergeChannels(sl, sr)
MixAudio(lrc, blr, 1.0, 1.0)
Normalize()

That's what is in my audio .avs file.

[TehNrd]

So far so good with this tool but here are some suggestions for v2.0.

When you select "Custom Resize" the values should default to the resolution of the input file. Most of the time I want to set a custom bitrate but want the resolution to stay the same.

Wow, that's pretty weird. I'm not quite sure what's happening there. There is a small bug with the file size right now that could make files up to 2.4% larger than predicted, but not 484% larger!! I know it's been a while, but do you still by chance have the encode.log file for this encode (in ASXGui folder)? If not, has this happened more than once? It could have been a one time bug. I'm really not sure, that's never happened to me before.

Usually the audio part takes a small fraction for the time the video portion does, so something must be wrong there. Does it do the same for different format files? It could possibly be a problem with your codecs maybe? Try updating all your codecs. All I can think of right now. By the way, I code this in Vista, so that's definitely not it.

Yeah, I think one of my older versions may have actually done that, I can't remember. I'm not sure why I took it out but now that I'm recoding a lot, it shouldn't be a problem.

1. "Download with Installer" leads to a dead link.
2. The other download is a zipped bunch of stuff named "ASXGui-1[1].9.4"; when put into a folder and ASXGui is launched (in XPpro), I get an "Application failed to initialize properly (0xc000135)" error. -- I have AviSynth 2.5 in my Programs folder.

==//==

My major interest in the application will be whether or not it supports powerful external AviSynth filters such as these (http://www.compression.ru/video/deblocking/smartdeblocking_en.html). Let me know if there are plans to do so. (I have hundreds of "grainy old movie" projects on hold due to lack of adequate GUI tools.)

1. The installer links are down for the moment, I took them off the post and off my sig.

2. Try installing the .NET Framework (I think ASXGui uses 2.0), and see if it runs after that.

Unfortunately, I've never even heard of or used any of those filters so if I do ever get to it, it won't be in 2.0. I've thought of possibly adding an avs script editor in ASXGui, but I'm not 100% sure exactly how to implement that yet, so it probably won't make 2.0 either.

Well, I uninstalled everything codec related as well as avisynth. then reinstalled the latest ffdshow-tryout build as well as avisynth. Now nothing works. The errors below happen with both the latest 2.58 beta of avisynth as well as the stable release. I also received the same errors when i tried to use the k-lite codec pack.

Umm.... wow. Never seen that before :confused:

hmm...

Is DirectShowSource.dll in program files\avisynth 2.5\plugins?

have you tried restarting since you installed avisynth?

Yea, i'm confused too. Here's what i've done. I uninstalled everything to start fresh. Then, I installed the k-lite pack and rebooted after it finished. I then went in and configured the ac3 filter and ffdshow like it shows in the pdf.

I then installed avisynth and rebooted. When everything came back up, I extracted the asxgui archive and ran the exe. I chose my settings and hit start encoding. The same error above came up. Something with my system has to be hosed but I have no idea what it might be.

*edit* i choose 'run as administrator' from the right-click menu on my shortcut to the exe and its working now...no idea why that'd matter but it's working!

Oh, hmm ok.

Some files may not be accessible unless it's under administrator mode I guess. It doesn't ever affect me because I turned off the UAC on my machine

Well, that should be fixed in version 2.0 anyways, at least hopefully, with some changes I'm doing.

Hi. Iam a noob and I looking for a soft encode my anime episode to x264 to save my hard disk. I try ur program but still not get quality I expect. Can u help me?
My setting( as other video on the web) bitrate 256mbps,Audio Bitrate 32kbps, Resolution 640X480, Channel 2, Aspect Ratio 4:3, Length 22 minutes, Frame Rate 23.982 fps, File size: 40-50mb.
My file often ends up abit smaller than on the net but much worse quality. Can u make and Anime profile for the next update as my setting?

So today I did my first large encode (still in progress) and here is one weird thing I noticed. I set my hard drives to turn off after 20min and I think this stopped the encode from continuing. I have the ASX program on my C: with the windows install but my video files are on a separate logical drive F: I use for storage. I don't think C: shut down but I think F: did and the encoding basically stopped.

I'm not sure if this is even possible but is there any way to modify this setting to not have the hard drives turn off when encoding? It looks like this is written with .NET/C# or something so maybe it has access to windows settings.

That would make sense because your C drive would be in use for temporary files right now (this will be changeable in 2.0) but F drive wouldn't be used until the encode is over. I guess I can look into it and see if I can prevent hard drives from turning off during encode, but for now I would suggest saving your file to your C drive, and then copying it after it's done.

You could also be experiencing problems if your C drive doesn't have enough space for the encode as well. In this case put ASXGui on the F Drive.

any update on new version ? Just curious

When will new update come? I am looking forward to seeing ur new features. It sounds interesting!

[morphinapg]

Not sure when 2.0 is coming, it's a much larger update than I've ever done before, so it's going to be a while. I'll release it when it's ready. I'm trying to spend as much time as I can working on it.

[Ajax_Undone]

Nice to hear...

[meatwad]

I'm doing some 1440X1080 clips that I need to change the sar to 4:3 in order to get the correct aspect ratio output. I usually just change it in the command line, but your gui doesn't seem to have the option. I then tried to add it to the default profile by editing the text file (sar= 4:3) but the videos aspect still turned out the same. I'm sure there's a simple way to do it, but I'm such a moron I'm probably overlooking it.

I'm sure there's a simple way to do it, but I'm such a moron I'm probably overlooking it.

Check the "Override aspect ratio" box and choose 16:9. This is the output aspect. If you don't want ASXGui to resize your video, then make sure to set "custom resize" to 1440x1080. ASXGui will automatically set the SAR for you.

[meatwad]

I tried that but the output is still the same. Aspect isn't stretched. I believe I need a way to override the sar because I believe it's setting it at 1:1. I can post a link to a sample if you need one along with any logs. The sample I'm working with is under 15 megs.

The only method I can use to get the correct aspect ratio is to change the file from 1440X1080 to 1920X1080. Square vs. rectangular pixels. I was hoping sar could be accessed through the profile where I could add the command line. I've tried the following:

sar= 4:3
--sar 4:3
sar 4:3

None of them seem to work, but of course they won't if the sar has previously been entered. X264 just seems to ignore it.

[morphinapg]

hmm, that's interesting. it IS supposed to be adjusting the SAR based on the overrided output aspect.

Yeah, send me a sample.

[meatwad]

http://www.zshare.net/download/20254133fe9832af/

It's no biggie, I was just hoping there was a way to set the sar myself. The avs input even says it's 4/3 but the correct aspect is 16/9. No matter if the output is set as 4/3 or 16/9 the file always comes out with an aspect ratio of 4/3 instead of 16/9. I also want to thank you for responding so quickly. Sorry to be a nuisance.

[morphinapg]

I'm getting this error when inputting your file. Tried opening it with DGIndex as well and still got that problem.

http://i36.tinypic.com/qxnl7m.jpg

I think the test ts might be messed up. I'm guessing it was just the cut from the original that messed it up. Does this happen on yours?

[morphinapg]

By the way, I set up a random 1080p file to custom size 1440x1080, and set the aspect override to 16/9 like this:

http://i35.tinypic.com/2zobr81.jpg

and my encode.log file shows this:

[meatwad]

My problem might be that I'm using an avs file as input because I'm using DGAVCIndexNV and I need the avs file so I can load DGAVCDecode.dll. I'll play around with it a little more. I imagine it will work like your sample if I can load it without using an avs file.

[morphinapg]

post the contents of encode.log in the ASXGui folder after you set the settings like above and click encode.

it should still work fine with an avs input

[meatwad]

Unfortunately the only way to load the file is through avisynth. I just tried to load the .dga file and the .ts file. I received the same error you did with the .ts file. The .dga file claimed that it couldn't read the resolution. If you run the sample through DGAVCIndex and create a script that looks like this:

loadplugin("Z:\dgavcdecnv102\DGAVCDecode.dll")
avcsource("...location of test.ts")

or use directshow source:

DirectShowSource("...location of test.ts")

You should be able to load the test sample. Also, you probably know how to make an avisynth script better than I do but I'm running out of steam tonight and they were easy to copy as an example. If you use DGAVCIndex the video will probably output with macroblocks through X264 due to the limitations of libavcodec.dll

post the contents of encode.log in the ASXGui folder after you set the settings like above and click encode.

it should still work fine with an avs input

I'll give it a try.

I swear I tried that before and it didn't work. It worked now as an mp4. I've been outputting as an mkv. Let me try it as an mkv. instead.

Okay. I just wasted a few hours of your time. It's working fine now. I deeply apologize and you can personally burn DA onto my forehead. I'd altered some of the encoding settings before, but they shouldn't have affected the aspect ratio. Anyway, thanks for putting up with me and once again I'm sorry for wasting your time.

lol doesn't matter, glad everything worked out for you then.

[meatwad]

Me too! Your GUI works fine with DGAVCIndexNV so you should be happy about that. There's currently only a handful of programs that work with it and ASXGui is one of them. Thanks for making it and remember... Meatwad is dumb as hell, boy. Have a good evening/morning.

[morphinapg]

technically anything that works with avisynth should work with ASXGui

I'm actually interested in incorporating DGAVCIndex in a future version like I already do for DGIndex. You will probably be able to use it with DGAVCIndexNV if you replace the regular DGAVCIndex files in ASXGui's tools folder when I do that.

that way you could bypass avisynth entirely

EDIT: Oh I see what you mean by those macroblocks. Maybe it would be best to hold off then till that could get fixed.
