what disk settings ? ... Don't Care about file size ??

BHH

Yes I am using Don't Care about file size.

[buzzqw]

so..the bitrate isn't important , for aiming an unlimited file size.. you can use a "unlimited" (or very big) bitrate

I am using unlimited file size because quality to me is more important, however I do want to achieve the most compact size possible. I don't want to specify that each file should be 50,100MB etc as I am concerned that whilst one clip may look good at 50mb another may have needed 60MB or only 40MBetc. I am trying to let the quality necessary for the source to determine its final filesize but as i have a lot of material the file size is still a concern. Does this make sense ? I hope so because that is what I am trying to do.

I have found that I can use specify bitrate on advanced settings so I am using that with unlimited file size and testing this profile.

@flebber

you want to use the constant quality profile, that's for sure

BHH

[writersblock29]

@flebber

I agree with Buzzqw. I've spent tons of time playing with different profiles (and agonized over 5fps encoding speeds) only to find that running ConstantQuality_CRF did what I was looking for. I've modded the profile to use Q16 instead of the default Q18--but even then, many sources look very good at Q18. You might try running a short test encode unmodded and see what you think. I would, however, stick with CRF rather than true constant quality; the CRF profile is meant to work with human perception, encoding fast-action scenes (where your eyes really can't focus on fine details) with a higher Q value than slower scenes (where your eyes can notice pretty much anything off-beat). The result is a smaller file size with the same percieved quality as a constant quality encode using the same Q. And on my dinosaur system, the encoding speeds range from 10fps to 15fps, done in one pass.

[flebber]

@writersblock29

I have done several encodes now using ConstantQuality_CRF. I actually started by taking the BitrateQuantizer out to 22 and still at this level I did acheive a fairly good result (both quality and size) I have taken in the BitrateQuanizer to 20 there was little quality improvement in doing this and file size basically the same. I am going to try 16 now, this really does seem to ofer the result i wanted.

I tried an ConstantQuality_CRF encode with psy_RD enabled, I really couldn't see much improvement or size difference. Have you used it with CQ CRF ?

Thanks Buzzqw and writersblock for the advice.

[IYG]

I have a question.
Why doesn't autoMKV use 100% CPU?

[writersblock29]

@flebber

I haven't tried psy_RD... in all honesty, at the time I decided to mod the CRF profile, I was almost at the point of yanking my hair out from trying this, that, and the other thing... but seeing very little difference. Modding the CRF profile really just made me stumble on something I felt happy with. Since I've got almost 300 movies on my HTPC (and even though hard drives are getting reasonably priced, I really can't justify another 1TB at this point), I realized that I needed a sanity check: I was spending so much time tweaking settings, I didn't have any left over to actually watch movies! Plus I realized that if I didn't have a decent one-size-fits-all approach, I'd die of old age before getting these puppies archeived. I'm positive someone's reading this now who's thinking of telling me, "You're doing THAT? You're BUTCHERING it!!!" and they may well be right. But on a 52" HDTV, the results speak for themselves to me. I do perform image enhancement via FFdshow on the HTPC (which basically just uses Lanczos Resize to upscale the image to my television's resolution), but the results are so close to high def, I don't mind having very few Bluray titles in my library. FFdshow also handles re-encoding the AAC back into AC3 on the fly so that I have surround sound with a smaller filesize than if I'd have simply kept the AC3 stream. All I can say is that I'm a happy man again! :p

@Buzzqw

Any thoughts on the sound sync issue? At first I thought they were bad rips, but Handbrake doesn't seem to mind them. Nero Recode handled a few test encodes pretty well, too. Any info I can offer I'm happy to give!

[buzzqw]

@writersblock29

about synch issue:

the delay is fixed or progressive ?

could you try to do the d2v manually and use the dgindex tool to analize synch ?

on your log the delay reported is 290ms is this correct to your ear ?

automkv don't have procedures to determine delay, it rely on dgindex reports

(handbrake and nero recode use alternative way for handling audio delay)

[Crono141]

I have another AVISynth Error. When using HybridFuPP (HQ source) and autocrop, I got the error : Width and height (destination) must be dividable by 8 if you want to show motion or use motion processing.

My guess is: Autocrop picked values incompatable with my resize filter. Any way to fix that?

EDIT: Ok, I checked "MOD16 Crop" in the advanced tab, and this time got a different avs error:

@Buzzqw

I think I may have stumbled upon a solution to my sound syncing problems... quite by accident. I replaced my NeroAacEnc with the SSE version (my intent was only to see if there was a noticable speed difference with my processor), and fired up one of my problem projects. To my surprise, the project now has the correct sync. Who knew? I'm going to test out a few of the other misfits to confirm that this is indeed a viable solution to the problem... but if it all turns out, it may be a suggestion to offer anyone else who is having sync issues (and has a processor with SSE capability). I don't know how the Nero encoder handles audio streams--or why there'd be a difference in audio handling between the regular encoder and the SSE version--but it seems to have worked.

[Edit] Nah. It wasn't the SSE version that fixed it. For some reason, renaming that program to NeroAacEnc didn't work; Automkv tried using it... it failed... so Automkv used FFMpeg. So Nero wasn't involved at all for fixing my problem. At least, according to the log file generated. But the resulting projects work and are in sync.

I installed Automkv in C:\Rip, So for me the profiles are in C:\Rip\profiles\x264-profiles\ . yours would be in the similar directory. Use notepad or whatever editor open the profile and save remember if you change the name you save the profile as to make sure its saved as xml.

[Crono141]

I found another bug in the queue. If one of your queued jobs includes a DVD to rip, it won't rip the VOB, it will try and read it directly from the DVD. Naturally, this doesn't work out too well for 98% of DVDs out there. So if you've got multiple DVD's to convert, you need to rip them all first, and then queue the decrypted VOBs.

[jkl6648]

Once the Queue is running you cannot add more jobs to it.

Also, even when the queue finishes, the "Add to queue" button is grayed out, so you can't queue up more jobs without quitting and re-opening autoMKV.

[buzzqw]

queue isn't editable once started. not to change, sorry

@Crono141
.. queue and dvdrip don't work well.. i know

@juGGaKNot

these expiremental profile will be removed in next update, and .. about dxva, actually i don't care about it

but any update to profiles made by users is always welcommed

[ales.fila]

Hi, first many thanx for fixing Czech language, jupee. Like IYG and EddieT I am experiencing in 0.97 betas slow encoding with x286. I am using Insane Quality profile so its 2-pass run. In 0.96 x286 encoding on my little bit OC Q9300 uses CPU for nearly 100%. So standard 100 minutes video takes to encode approx 2 hours. But in 0.97 same video takes nearly 6 hours. CPU is used for 28-30%. First I thought its because different version of profile or x286 codec. No, I tryied old profile and codec in new automkv and vice versa with no luck. For me it seems that 0.97 calls x286 codec is some different way. With 0.96 you see VirtulaDub progress window during encode, with 0.97 you see command line with x286 running. Can it be cause that x286 in cmd line is not using all CPU power ? Last notice, all CPU cores are stressed in the same way for 0.96 and 0.97. So in 0.96 all four cores work at nearly 100 %, in 0.97 all cores are around 30 %. Thank you for any answer.

[buzzqw]

i can only suggest to try a different profile.

the insane profile was build with the idea of taking the most slowing encoding options , and not all encoding options are so optimized in x264

try with the balanced profile, or better profile

last one: check the usage (cpu %) of automkv.exe during encoding, should stay idle or so

BHH

[daab]

hi there,
i experience the same effects in cpu-performance on my quad-core as ales.fila:

0.97 + 0.95 xvid uses ~75% cpu and states in the command window, that it requested 3 threads for encoding.
no difference when i change the number of threads in advanced profile editing to 4.
recognizes avisynth in command-window.

for x264 i made a test with a 1024mb vob-file.
no filters used, no audio used, auto crop only with simple re size neutral soft, no deinterlacing,
profile 2pass BETTER (not insane) quality.

avisynth is installed.
0.95 x264 ~98% of cpu.
0.97 x264 ~30% of cpu.

i already tried with the 0.95 x264-encoder-exe in 0.97 - worked but no difference in performance (still only ~30%).
the 0.97 x264-encoder-exe didn't work at all in 0.95.
also in 0.97 i only get dos-box-encoding windows. in 0.05 i have these vdubmod-like encoding windows.

tried serveral installation-variations, used both complete download-packs from the forum for 0.95 and 0.97.

no idea what's wrong :-(

[Chengbin]

Can I change the Archos 605 profile? I would like to make a profile with main profile, level 4.1, 1 trellis, 1 b-frame, 2 ref-frame, CABAC on. Thanks.

[buzzqw]

as i always said INSANE profile are for user with INSANE time to waste

i will tune a to less insane .. the insane ;)

Heres some usefull info I found on x264... Hope it helps some people :)

A qualitative overview of x264's ratecontrol methods
By Loren Merritt


x264's ratecontrol is based on libavcodec's, and is mostly empirical. But I can retroactively propose the following theoretical points which underlie most of the algorithms:

- You want the movie to be somewhere approaching constant quality. However, constant quality does not mean constant PSNR nor constant QP. Details are less noticeable in high-complexity or high-motion scenes, so you can get away with somewhat higher QP for the same perceived quality.
- On the other hand, you get more quality per bit if you spend those bits in scenes where motion compensation works well: A given artifact may stick around several seconds in a low-motion scene, and you only have to fix it in one frame to improve the quality of the whole scene.
- Both of the above are correlated with the number of bits it takes to encode a frame at a given QP.
- Given one encoding of a frame, we can predict the number of bits needed to encode it at a different QP. This prediction gets less accurate if the QPs are far apart.
- The importance of a frame depends on the number of other frames that are predicted from it. Hence I-frames get reduced QP depending on the number and complexity of following inter-frames, disposable B-frames get higher QP than P-frames, and referenced B-frames are between P-frames and disposable B-frames.


The modes:

2pass:
Given some data about each frame of a 1st pass (e.g. generated by 1pass ABR, below), we try to choose QPs to maximize quality while matching a specified total size. This is separated into 3 parts:
(1) Before starting the 2nd pass, select the relative number of bits to allocate between frames. This pays no attention to the total size of the encode. The default formula, empirically selected to balance between the 1st 2 theoretical points, is "complexity ** 0.6", where complexity is defined to be the bit size of the frame at a constant QP (estimated from the 1st pass).
(2) Scale the results of (1) to fill the requested total size. Optional: Impose VBV limitations. Due to nonlinearities in the frame size predictor and in VBV, this is an iterative process.
(3) Now start encoding. After each frame, update future QPs to compensate for mispredictions in size. If the 2nd pass is consistently off from the predicted size (usually because we use slower compression options than the 1st pass), then we multiply all future frames' qscales by the reciprocal of the error. Additionally, there is a short-term compensation to prevent us from deviating too far from the desired size near the beginning (when we don't have much data for the global compensation) and near the end (when global doesn't have time to react).

1pass, average bitrate:
The goal is the same as in 2pass, but here we don't have the benefit of a previous encode, so all ratecontrol must be done during the encode.
(1) This is the same as in 2pass, except that instead of estimating complexity from a previous encode, we run a fast motion estimation algo over a half-resolution version of the frame, and use the SATD residuals (these are also used in the decision between P- and B-frames). Also, we don't know the size or complexity of the following GOP, so I-frame bonus is based on the past.
(2) We don't know the complexities of future frames, so we can only scale based on the past. The scaling factor is chosen to be the one that would have resulted in the desired bitrate if it had been applied to all frames so far.
(3) Overflow compensation is the same as in 2pass. By tuning the strength of compensation, you can get anywhere from near the quality of 2pass (but unpredictable size, like +- 10%) to reasonably strict filesize but lower quality.

1pass, constant bitrate (VBV compliant):
(1) Same as ABR.
(2) Scaling factor is based on a local average (dependent on VBV buffer size) instead of all past frames.
(3) Overflow compensation runs after each row of macroblocks instead of per-frame. We predict how many bits this row should have taken (again based on SATD), and adjust the QP and bit prediction for subsequent rows.

1pass, constant ratefactor:
(1) Same as ABR.
(2) The scaling factor is a constant based on the --crf argument.
(3) No overflow compensation is done.

constant quantizer:
QPs are simply based on frame type.


all modes:
H.264 allows each macroblock to have a different QP. x264 uses this feature only in VBV mode. The other modes determine one QP which is used for a whole frame

Hi buzzqw,
May you enable an opinion "144 kbps" for audio like autoGK?
Thanks.

[Chengbin]

buzzqw, can you make AutoMKV encode audio and determine field order at the same time? Many of us have quad core CPUs and those 2 processes only use 1. Can you add that in the next update?

[technoir1]

I've got CPU utilization problems here too, or at least performance issues

Automkv used to average out about 3.5 hours per movie for me but the last few beta releases since around 0.96b12 It’s taken up to 8 hours. I don’t know what’s going on. I've tried it on another very similar computer with the same OS and a fresh install of Windows. Same problem. It is also so hungry for resources (maybe it’s not resources but It would seem that it’s resources) that whilst running Automkv I sometimes can’t even load a web page unless I change Internet Explorer’s priority to “Above Normal”

Another issue That I have found is using the DivxX264 Encoder. I’ve copied the two files DivX264.exe and h264vout.001 into the “Encoder” folder I run Automkv and the audio encodes fine then DivX264.exe opens for a split second, closes and then Automkv says “Lets Mux’ followed instantly by “Saving Log’ any ideas?

I will add that with the divX264 problem I have it on both WinXP home edition and also on vista home premium. I have tried it also on two vista PC’s. I just formatted my laptop last night and put a fresh copy of WinXP on it to test out this issue on an XP system before I posted and I can confirm same problem. I did not download the single divxX264.exe and h264vout.001 files by the way. I downloaded the installer, ran it and copied the 2 files into the “encoder” folder.

My specs for my main P.C are as follows

Hey Buzzqw,

I posted a message about this in the 0.96 beta thread, but I tried this latest version last night and it's doing the same thing.

I've joined the m2ts files into one m2ts file which plays fine and includes the whole movie.

Something weird is happening in the creation of "movie.dga" as I've tried to convert the same m2ts file a couple of times now, and each time it's ended up a different size, way smaller than it should be. The first time movie.dga reported the movie length as around 1300 secs, the second time on the same m2ts file it reported it as 137 secs.

Any ideas what's going wrong?

As you can see from the log it's decided it's 1453 secs long this time. Each time is different, it's very odd. What is encoded is perfect, it just only encodes a portion of the movie...

@technoir1

the exe is named DivX264.exe NOT DivXX264.exe

also DON'T WORK FROM DESKTOP!
-threads 2 -br 29935 -aqo 0 -I 4 -ref 2 -bf 2 -i "C:\Documents and Settings\James\Desktop\New Folder\temp\movie.avs" -o "C:\Documents and Settings\James\Desktop\New Folder\temp\movie.264"
use a shorter path (like c:\rip)
you can also try from dos to launch
divx264.exe -threads 2 -br 29935 -aqo 0 -I 4 -ref 2 -bf 2 -i "C:\Documents and Settings\James\Desktop\New Folder\temp\movie.avs" -o "C:\Documents and Settings\James\Desktop\New Folder\temp\movie.264"

@kretin
do your self the movie.dga and check it versus dga done by automkv

Hi, I have tried other profiles which come with 0.97 and the result is the same. X264 encoding is using only 30 % of CPU. So even I use 2pass balanced profile it runs at 190 fps first pass and 55-60 fps second pass - which is not bad but still using CPU only for 30-40 %. If I put old 0.96 exe to the 0.97 dir and do the same task, the CPU hurls up to 100 % and encoding speeds correspondingly. I am really unable to run x264 in cmd line faster. Or does any1 some clue ? Thank you.


i can only suggest to try a different profile.

the insane profile was build with the idea of taking the most slowing encoding options , and not all encoding options are so optimized in x264

try with the balanced profile, or better profile

last one: check the usage (cpu %) of automkv.exe during encoding, should stay idle or so

BHH

[buzzqw]

new full package 0.97

changelog (versus 0.97 beta 4)

ADDED: In advanced settings possibility to show only forced subtitle (beta)
FIXED: Deinterlacer routines will run simultaneusly. Faster detect
FIXED: Low cpu usage on x264 encoding
CHANGED: Recked all x264 profiles
UPDATE: x264 0.65.999M cc51047,MKVmerge 2.3.0, added Anime Profile, added 2 pass fast profile , eac 2.65,dgAVCDec 1.0.2

BHH

[Aylwin]

FIXED: Low cpu usage on x264 encoding

On my PC, I'm getting between 47-57% CPU usage. With beta 4, I get over 70%.

[buzzqw]

Same profile and same movie ?

BHH

[Aylwin]

This is just some new DVD I'm ripping but I've never seen CPU usage at 50% before on any job. I'll try to do a more scientific test later using the same movie and same settings between the latest version, the previous beta, and maybe also 0.96 or even 0.95.

[buzzqw]

don't compare automkv version, but script used and encoding options used.

automkv is a gui not an encoder, the encoder is x264.exe

BHH

[Aylwin]

don't compare automkv version, but script used and encoding options used.
I always use the same options for all AutoMKV versions:
Audio: Original or Lame
Video: x264/MKV
- Resize = LanczosResize
- Filter = LEM(ff=...
- Width = Automatic or user defined
- Profile = Constant_Quality.xml
- All other settings default

In some cases, I will use Manual Crop and Resize. Or, I might use different CQ values (between 18-26). Otherwise, everything else is always the same.

automkv is a gui not an encoder, the encoder is x264.exe
Could I copy x264.exe from an older AutoMKV package and use it with version 0.97? Would that work?

[buzzqw]

maybe... i cannot guarantee.. but should work on most case... (or disable psy and aq)

BHH

[Chengbin]

What is 2 pass slug? What is its purpose? It is 2 pass sluggish? If that's right, does that mean it'll give even better quality encode than insane profile but at the cost of taking extremely long?

[Chengbin]

BTW, the insane profile for H.264 is now much faster, it uses all 4 of my CPU cores. What was wrong with the previous version that made it only use 1 core?

[buzzqw]

slug is the slowest possible profile, tuned for slowness (and pure maximum quality)

basically b-adapt 2 is very NOT optimizied on multicore, and it slow down all, the same for other options

Just curious, can you check what version of x264 is used in AutoMKV?

I see that in this version both of the process of determining field order and pattern came up. So there's no way to get neroaac and determining field order to work at the same time?

Does x264 support SSE4?

For some reason it won't encode files (source is 720p) to smaller (500MB) 720p files. It will encode the first few frames and then just stop. x264.exe doesn't close, but it just stops processing for some reason.

Update:

For some reason it worked without encoding audio and deinterlace check.

I just tested it again. For some reason it does not like audio. If you encode audio, it won't encode. It will encode at a lower resolution (640x360 for example, which I tested), but not at the same resolution.

update again

Never mind, even without audio it will not encode. The first test without audio worked, maybe it worked, but I only let it encode 300 frames and then stopped it since the encodes that fail that stops after precisely 90 or 100 frames. When it stops encoding, the status line (frame, eta, etc) just disappears and it stops encoding (but still taking up 1.2GB of my RAM).
