AutoMKV 0.98.4

[buzzqw]

@valnar

.. i'll check thanks

@gasnyder
please try analizing your file with mediainfo or avinaptic, or try decoding with azid
better is to encoding with besweet since it has a very good error reporting

automkv use soundout plugin, an excellent avisynth pugin able to "transfer" audio data to encoder, in this way i can feed nero, ogg, cct ... check the executable in \exe\besweet folder

soundout ALSO contain lame 3.97, so is "within" soundout.dll

i don't use lame.exe because of bug in pipe support (but i will check newer lame build!)

movie = tfm(movie,d2v="C:\_Working\RIPS\MainMovie\FRIENDS_S1D1E3\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_1.d2v"tfmpp.s+).tdecimate()

ok, thanks for this, i will check this too!

Looking at the profiles they all seem to have AQ-1 and strength 0.1 appart from the CQ profile. (CQ optimised does have AQ). Does this make much of a difference? I had a little play and change it from false to 1 and 0.2 and it seemed to increase the kb/s by about 500. But I also had a movie size of 720x576 instead of 704x576.

Umm, you put the wrong link on the first post. We're going back through time to 0.93

[Betsy25]

Yep, wrong link in top post.

[buzzqw]

yup fixed!

BHH

[noee]

I think the new version 98.3 is putting an extra comma in the movie.avs when you set PP. This is causing the fallback to ffmpeg as video file size is 0. Here is the line from my Movie.AVS:


movie = tfm(movie,d2v="D:\Encodes\temp\movie.d2v",,PP=0).tdecimate()

[gasnyder]

I think noee is right. I see the extra comma too.

@Buzzqw

With this version, the new Lame encoder fails on the .ac3 file that I'm having trouble with. It works fine on another .ac3 file. So it looks like you were right, there is something not quite right with that .ac3 file.

[buzzqw]

@noee

tomorrow i will upload a fixed version, sorry for the trouble

BHH

[noee]

No need to apologize, rest assured AutoMKV is much appreciated in this household.

:thanks:

to buzzqw:

Can you please look at my log in this link (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1242810#post1242810)... by the time :) Thanks alot!

[buzzqw]

yes, i have also donwload the sample

i will try the sap scure profile and use as denoiser the "degrianmedian"
you should got a better result (even it isn't bad your test)

BHH

[Firestone]

Do you think that isn't bad... good :)
Anyway I'm afraid that I can't undterstand you what do you mean by:

i will try the sap scure profile and use as denoiser the "degrianmedian" :(

So you think that I can try "2Pass_Sap_scure.xml" instead of "2Pass_Insane_Quality.xml" to got the better result? And about filter... can I try "DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=5,mode=3)" as a filter? It's correct like this I wrote?
Thanks again.

[buzzqw]

@all

Update to 0.98.4
FIXED: Use of PP in deinterlacing (thanks to noee)


So you think that I can try "2Pass_Sap_scure.xml" instead of "2Pass_Insane_Quality.xml" to got the better result? And about filter... can I try "DeGrainMedian(limitY=5,limitUV=5,mode=3)" as a filter? It's correct like this I wrote?
Thanks again.

yes

the profile is more tuned for dark "movie", and your video as more grain than noise.. so degraimediam is a better choice (imho)

BHH

[Chengbin]

What should I use for resizing filters? I'm encoding TV show/movies and they're in HD.

[buzzqw]

i will use lanczos or spline

BUT if your resize down a lot (more then half) go with simplyresize or bicubic

BHH

[Chengbin]

Thanks.

How do I do anamorphic encoding on AutoMKV?

[buzzqw]

check the appropriate "check" in advanced settings

BHH

[gasnyder]

@Buzzqw

Thanks for the update.. The extra comma is gone from the movie.avs but there still appears to be an extra comma in preview.avs.

And here's an update on the .ac3 file I'm having trouble encoding. I went back to an older version of NicAudio.dll (2.0.0.5 from the AutoMKV .96 package) and the file encoded just fine. So I'll just use that old DLL anytime I have a problem. I tried the last 3 version on the NicAudio site and they all failed in the same way.

UPDATE:

Here's the line that is failing:

movie = tfm(movie,d2v="C:\_Working\RIPS\MainMovie\FRIENDS_S1D2E1\VIDEO_TS\Test2.d2v",).tdecimate()

It only seems to fail if I preview a .d2v file. If I choose a vts*.ifo file, the preview works just fine.

[Chengbin]

A small bug

When I choose an input file, a pop up box pops up, letting me choose the file. But if I delete something in that box, the whole directory disappears, and you must go back, and reenter that directory to see your file.

[JonRead]

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what settings should I use in AutoMKV to get a Blu-Ray compliant video file ? Usually what I do is use Nero Vision to encode Blu-Rays, which uses Smart Encode which can input Blu-Ray ready files without the need to re-encode. So far other then ones created within Nero itself, I have found it hard to find software that will create a file that is compliant 100 percent with it (so no further encoding is needed).

Is there a profile for Blu Ray within AutoMKV ? I can see the Blu-Ray logo, but unsure if this means it is compliant or not. I notice a HD-DVD profile, would this be the same as Blu_Ray ?

[buzzqw]

use the ps3 profile

BHH

[JonRead]

Thanks. Do you mean the PS3.xml or PS3_30 or PS3_40 ? I am guessing the normal PS3 one yes ? Just thought I best check.

[Chengbin]

How do I increase the maximum peak bitrate in the profiles?

[buzzqw]

@JonRead
update your automkv, and profiles...

there is no more ps3_30/40

@Chengbin

do you mean VBVMaxBitrate ?

BHH

[Chengbin]

I'm not sure, I just want the encoder to be able to use insanely high bitrates peaks for difficult scenes.

[buzzqw]

set it to 30000
<VBVMaxBitrate>30000</VBVMaxBitrate>

or don't set it..

BHH

[MoboTech]

hey buzz, does automkv utilizes a quad core cpu? If not, is their a way to do it?

[buzzqw]

@MoboTech

Hi MoboTech and Welcome to the Forum!

automkv could use even a simple pentium 2!

automkv is a gui, so it's cpu hungry is very very limited, the hard work is done by encoders like x264.exe or xvid_encraw.exe.

AND YES! x264 and xvid_encraw are multi core optimized, so it will use all your cores

BUT, remember the encoders need "decoded frames" from avisynth.. and avisynth could not be so fast in feeding encoders..

BHH

[buzzqw]

@Buzzqw

Thanks for the update.. The extra comma is gone from the movie.avs but there still appears to be an extra comma in preview.avs.vts*.ifo file, the preview works just fine.

please REDOWNLOAD the 0.98.4 update

it's version: 0.98.242.1223

thanks

BHH

[Firestone]

to buzzqw:

So I tried it as you said and I think that is a little bit better. What do you think about it? Here you can look at second result (http://lukas-kuzel.net/bin/sample2.avi). The first one is here (http://lukas-kuzel.net/bin/sample.avi). Thanks for your comment.
I will post log too.

EDITED:
And do you think that 25 fps is good choice or something like almost 24 fps will be better...

[AW01545]

Autoresize filters don't work for me out of the box. I'm trying the lanczos and simpleresize filters.

Nothing shows up with an error in the log, but on the screen I can see something about 'icompress' flash by. In the log it just shows that the size of the file after the filter operation is always 8192.

I've installed avisynth 2.5.8, automkv 0.98.4

I've tried this on two different installations on two different computers.

Also, one of the features I most like about automkv is the chapter support. It would be nice if we could load chapters from another source, not just edit and write a file out.

My reasons for using automkv are that I'm trying to create MKV files with the DivX pro codec, subtitles and chapters.

Thank you!

[buzzqw]

Hi AW01545 and Welcome to the Forum!

please post the log, also remember to install ffdshow and xvid (for YV12 decoder)

automkv could load external chapter file.. put the file chapter.txt in \exe folder

BHH

[verbatim2]

I have a problem with mkv input

so i select the mkv video then audio1 (.ac3 file)"copy original"
resolution: original (1080p)
2 pass balanced
x264/mkv autput

then when the job is done i can find the mkv file int the output folder
or when automkv stopped at encoding i can find the .x264 file in the temp folder
i mux the ac3 and mkv into 1 file but then
like acdc live at donnington the first 20min are not good encoded
the picture is not fluently...and at min 21 the picture is good till the end
and that i have with al my mkv inputs

at the moment i have't got a log...sorry

Thanks BHH, I feel welcome. This is a great tool!

I did recall that I hadn't reinstalled XVID (I had it installed already), so just to be sure I reinstalled it, and got the same effects.

I reinstalled FFDSHOW to be sure (that was installed too), it occurs to me though, is it possible that the 'limitation' of the FFDSHOW to only work with particular programs might be responsible? I'm not sure how I answered that question during installation. I reinstalled it with 'no limits', and I will try that. Here is my log from the last failing run. The size after resize is not 8192 in this case, I think that might have more to do with the input size, in the case where I was getting 8192, I was converting a very small :44 second clip.

@verbatim2
log could help

but i think it's a problem of deinterlace...

you should post an unprocessed sample (from original video) that show the first part.. and the second part.. where is the change

@AW01545
the log is ok till the muxing part

please try launching from dos prompt the muxing.bat

you should see a error message

please post the screen here

The insane quality option for DivXH264 doesn't work. It's because of the <turbo>false</turbo> setting in the xml file. I changed that to 2 rather than false because it was using this value for the -aqo switch

-aqo <0|1|2> Algorithm quality optimized for:
0 = Fast encoding
1 = Balanced performance/quality (default)
2 = Highest quality

Don't know if this is what i should change it to, but i just thought i'd point out there's a problem with it.

Thanks, that's good technique. I didn't realize that the commands were written to .bat files before execution, I had tried to run them manually out of the log file.

I ran a smaller version of the test (with a 16 second clip), got the same error, then ran the muxing.bat file, I had trouble taking a screenshot through VNC so here's the cut+paste:

I'm not clear on which process (.bat) is creating the AVI file though.

@werx

thanks, fixed in next update

@AW01545

could you please analyze the movie.avi with avinaptic or gspot or mediainfo and report here ?

also.. try using mmg.exe (from mkvtoolnix package) and mux

don't know what mean this error :(

Hi,

I am trying to convert my 720p mkv files to wmv format for watching them in Xbox 360.
VC1 profile is successful in making the conversion, adding subtitle and preserving 6 channel audio as preferred.
However, with my Q9400 quad core cpu and 4 GB memory, I am not glad with the performance. Because using other converting tools like Total Video Converter, similar conversion takes very little time compared to AutoMKV.
(1 or 2 hours with TVC , while more than 6 hours with AutoMKV)

How can I speed up this process ? Is there any tips to make fatster conversion ?

Thanks.

The installer has been updated to the latest build enjoy..

Slower = more quality.

Videos encoded by AutoMKV will be very high quality, blowing away any commercial softwares, especially those fast ones.

I don't know why it is taking you 6 hours on your machine though. Did you use the highest quality profile?

Is there any way to get FLAC to be decoded by AutoMKV?

[buzzqw]

@Chengbin

i should check .. have you a sample with flac audio ?

Here is a 5 second clip of Ratatouille in FLAC audio.

I don't know I just select wmv and then select VC1 profile.
The original mkv file is 8GB and I limit the destination file by size 4GB. (audio is 6 channels)
So it takes more than 6 hours.
I believe on this machine it should take less time for such conversion.
What setting would you suggest ?

@ buzzqw

the link to the nero codec you have on the main page (http://www.nero.com/nerodigital/eng/...tal_Audio.html) is now dead

The new link is now http://www.nero.com/eng/technologies-aac-codec.html

cheers bud :)

[Chengbin]

Should I use MVDegrain? Is it safe to always turn it on (like does it impact quality on some videos). I don't care about encoding time.

What other settings in the advanced settings tab can I use to improve video quality? Does doing a HQ first pass give you better quality?
