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

Yes that worked, encoded the whole movie. Unfortunately the audio is still delayed towards the end. Have to figure that one out now...

Hello @all.
I'm using AutoMKV for a while, and i think i found a little bug in 0.97 beta4.
I reencoded an old series (>100 Episodes) from divx to x264/mkv. I added 6-7 jobs to the List, and started it. But after the run (no errors, everything went fine) the "Add to Queue"-Button was still greyed out / disabled.
I checked the Joblist, but it was perfectly clean. (No left behind Job.ini's to see). Anyway i clicked on the "Clean Job List"-Button, and bang, "Add to Queue"-Button activated. :D

Just a minor glitch, keep up the great work!:thanks:

I still have one Question: Is it necessary, that AutoMKV opens another AutoMKV-Window in the Joblist-Mode? Why don't you hide it it? Why i ask? Because i once closed accidentally the false one...:rolleyes:

[Dark Shikari]

Does x264 support SSE4?Not until we find a place where its beneficial.

[AGKnotUser]

On "Advanced Settings" tab, Deinterlacer box, Checkbox "Allow Hybrid Order/Pattern" does not get saved in
"Load and Save Configuration".

Judt tried it in 0.97, still doesn't save.

@botcherO

First of all Welcome to the Forum!

.. yes.. i know.. automkv will pop-up another automkv..
i must fixed it.. and yes, after a full run of queue it's impossible to add new queue project.
Simply close automkv and relaunch it

@AGKnotUser

fixed in next update

Just a note because I have solved the problem. When encoding x264 in AutoMKV 0.97.1 the build of x264 in the download package errored when using the constant quality optimized profile.

It basically caused a "please report to microsoft" pop up when x264 tried to initialize.

I solved it by replacing the x264 build in the encoder folder with version999 from http://www.x264.nl/ . Not sure if this helps, if I can let me know :)

@flebber

sorry pal, here doesn't crash

could you give me some more debug ?

thanks!

That is the very last line before the report to microsoft window pops up. I then have to close AutoMKV otherwise the pop up error just keeps happening.

I am happy though as x264 v999 works fine.

I have downloaded file okay. This x264 and 0.97.1 works perfectly. Thanks for the update.

[Fartingbob]

Been using autoMKV for ages, however i recently upgraded from 32-bit XP to Vista64 (duel booting ATM).
I downloaded the 0.97.1 version (was using 0.95 in XP) and now it refuses to encode in x264.
I have a feeling its because im using a 64bit OS and something in the process doesnt like it. Using all the default settings.
NeroAAC wouldnt work, so i tried using original audio and then it just stalled on the video encoding part.

Didnt help. I used the avisynth linked in the first post, is that the right version to use?
I tried in both XP and Vista using the same files, same settings.

try opening movie.avs in virtualdub

what is the error ?

BHH

[Fartingbob]

When loading the movie.avs from the vista failed encode into VD i get this message:
http://i36.tinypic.com/j5ds0z.jpg

So do i need the warpsharp plugin?

I just downloaded the warpsharp dll's and put them in system32 folder and it appears to be working.
I guess i must have already had them in the system32 folder of the XP install. Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone...
I've some newbie questions, please help me!
I started another thread, but I've got no replies... I deleted that post and I moved here... Thank you in advance !

I'm Italian, sorry for my poor English!

1) Can I use different automkv installations in different folders I want to keep different versions of automkv?

2) Xvid encoding doesn't go over 50% cpu usage on my dual core, maybe there are a SMP version of xvid somewhere?

3) I need to "archive" movies from my dvds, I've too many things around in my room...
I think I should use avi-xvid to have compatibility with my standalone player, I think the size (compromise between quality and size) can be around 1/4 DVD ...

To go to about 1/4 DVD for a 2hr movie, should I use resizers...
If I use "NONE / Original" without anamorphic encoding, my avi has wrong screen ratio...
If I use "Auto" resizers, I have right screen ratio also without anamorphic encoding...
Can you explain me this?
Should I use resizers or not?
Should I use constant quality or 2pass ?
Maybe I can go down to 700mb or it's better to stay around 1/4 DVD?

I read many threads but I'm just more confused, please help me.. I just need to find a compromise to migrate my dvds to xvid with optimal settings...

I cannot simply try and try again, I have a Athlon 64x2 4200+ , it's a decent pc for home use, but it's not very fast doing cpu-intensive tasks...

Maybe you all gurus can tell me best settings to do this!!

I'm Italian, sorry for my poor English!

no problem.. i am italian too :)

1) Can I use different automkv installations in different folders I want to keep different versions of automkv?

yes, without problem

2) Xvid encoding doesn't go over 50% cpu usage on my dual core, maybe there are a SMP version of xvid somewhere?

.. xvid is smp optimized and use all cores... BUT maybe avisynth script isn't too fast
if avisynth don't feed enough frames per seconds.. xvid will use only the needed cpu power.. not all cores

3) I need to "archive" movies from my dvds, I've too many things around in my room...
I think I should use avi-xvid to have compatibility with my standalone player, I think the size (compromise between quality and size) can be around 1/4 DVD ...

just stick with 2 pass sap profile, or use the constant quality profile at cq 3


15:20:42 Using Matrix: Didees SixOfNine-HVS.cqm
attention maybe not compatible with your player

To go to about 1/4 DVD for a 2hr movie, should I use resizers...
If I use "NONE / Original" without anamorphic encoding, my avi has wrong screen ratio...
without cropping and resize your movie is a 720/576 without a specified aspect...

If I use "Auto" resizers, I have right screen ratio also without anamorphic encoding...
auto mean crop, and with crop values automkv is able to determine the exact aspect ratio...

only you can decide your optimal settings

Ok, I will use avi - xvid - 2 pass sap


without cropping and resize your movie is a 720/576 without a specified aspect
...
auto mean crop, and with crop values automkv is able to determine the exact aspect ratio


So for newbies like me is better to leave default resizers unmodified...
I just need to open automkv, select avi - xvid - 2 pass sap , leave "as is" everything else, and select a file size...
AutoMKV will then automatically balance screen size , quality and file size??

I just need to select profile SAP and file size and start encoding without changes in other parameters ??

I know you cannot decide for me, but in your experience 700mb is sufficient or is better to use more size, like 1/4 DVD ?

Many thanks !!!

How exactly does the forced subs option work in Automkv? I tested it with Black Hawk Down, which uses forced subs in the English subtitle folder. When I tested it, I selected the English subs, and checked the forced option under Advanced Settings. The result was all subs being hardcoded into the video stream. Do I need to select any subtitles manualy with the forced option checked, or does vobsub search all folders for these without my direction? Also, does the forced option only work if I'm not hardcoding into the video stream? I'm famous for overcomplicating the simple... so before I run another project, I wanted to clarify with you.

not file size! based on file size automkv will balace screen size (and quality) .. so stick with 1/4dvd for good rip

@writersblock29
please post the log
when activating the only forced subs options , automkv will "change" the .idx and set force sub to on (this not work on external subs)
i haven't a good knowledge of subs... (never like).. sorry

When loading the movie.avs from the vista failed encode into VD i get this message:
http://i36.tinypic.com/j5ds0z.jpg

So do i need the warpsharp plugin?

I just downloaded the warpsharp dll's and put them in system32 folder and it appears to be working.
I guess i must have already had them in the system32 folder of the XP install. Thanks for your help!
:thanks:
It would be more "secure" to copy or move the plugin from your system32 folder to your AutoMKV plugin folder, to make sure that once AutoMKV updates some files, you get to use the latest plugin, otherwise there is a risk that a newer Avisynth installation will still use the older plugin in you sys32 folder, which is not recommended.

Hi @all, I am trying 0.97.1 Is any1 here using Slug or Insane Quality on Intel quad core processor ? Both profiles run very slow (for example AutoResize pass does 1,3 fps, 1st and 2nd passes around 9 fps), still not using all cores and in Insane quality profile x264 crashes during AutoResize pass. When I put old 0.96 exe to 0.97.1 dir and use it, everything is fine. I have tried different versions of x264 (all from latest 999 to 996) with no visible difference.
Many thanx for any answer.

one time for all

check the encoding options of both (manually check every options in encoding .bat files)
if you find differences, these are the culprit

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

Quite right ... CQ may be optimal in light of your computing limitations !

You'll be looking for a movie filesize of roughly 1-2 GB.
A standard width of 720 should generally work just fine and wont complicate matters on your SAP.
That said, if your player supports DivX HD (http://www.divx.com/products/hw/browse.php?c=7) and you prefer greater quality then you could choose a fuller resolution closer to the original ... either by way of 864x480 [PAL] (resized) or 720x576 (anamorphic) [a little black matte cropping wouldn't hurt either eventhough space saving is minimal].

A 2nd route would be DivX connected (http://www.divx.com/products/hw/browse.php?c=20) which allows you to wirelessly play DivX/Xvid from your PC to your TV.
Quite frankly, any format can be streamed wirelessly from your PC (See Kamiwa (http://www.kamiwa.de/)) ... so you needn't be restricted to DivX/Xvid ... MP4 (H264) is pretty kewl (newer & more CPU intense).


It's all good !

Can bframes cause problems ? Or psy ?

[buzzqw]

check the ref frames...

BHH

[ales.fila]

check the ref frames...

BHH

Hi, changing ref frames alone didnt help, now I am trying to change only bframes. Just now running insane profile with only one difference in bframes. Setting bframes to 3 changed behavior of x264. Now it runs 1st pass at 55-60 fps and uses the CPU for 50-53%, 2nd pass runs at 2.49 - 2.53 fps, which is not the best result (half degradation in comparison with 0.96 and its insane profile) but better. I will drop a line if I find the reason why it behaves so strange.

[Chengbin]

Don't use slug. I'm not kidding, it took 80 hours (0.2fps) to do the first pass for an episode of Prison Break on a quad core! Insane is much faster. I don't think slug will produce a profile that look better than insane without looking hard for it. On insane, I'm getting 24fps on 0.97.1 and it is using 50% of my Q6600.

I am not using Slug, I am long time user of Insane, but after 0.97 it behaves different. When you run Insane profile with 0.96 it uses all cores of my Q9300 for 100% and runs 30fps 2nd pass (of course depends on source). With 0.97.1 I cannot persuade it to fully use CPU. Just trying to find the reason, it seems its some of x264 new parameters.

Yes...
But if I check AUTO resize , should I use anamorphic or not ??

@ Buzzqw

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.



@technoir1

the exe is named DivX264.exe NOT DivXX264.exe

also DON'T WORK FROM DESKTOP!

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"

Thanks for the advice!
sorry, typo on divx264.exe but however I am now running from a shorter parth (C:\AutoMKV0971)

I have tried what you suggested with unfortunately no luck :(

When I loaded the command lines into the Divx264 encoder as per your advice I got the message "Error: Bitrate outside profile specification"

Is this mayby because I told AutoMKV that I "don't care about filesize" ?

I want to use CRF value with divx264 like X264...Is this possibile? I can not see anything in the log that refers to quality percentage or CRF Value, nor is their a CRF profile on the
main page using DivX264. File size is not a problem (I aim about 2-3 GB per standard PAL or NTSC movie) Mayby you might like to disable the ability to select "don't care about size"
if the divx264 cant handle it? I don't know though, i'm not an expert. I should add that whilst typing this I ran another test only this time with "Same as Source" it worked great. :confused:
one last question is: to get the same quality as a crf of say 17 or 18 on "constant Quality using DivX264 do I have to select 2 pass mode or is 1pass high performance suitable? sorry about
all the questions just Divx264 is obviously pretty new to your program and theres not much I can do If I don't know what my options or limitations :)

By the Way AUTOMKV Rulez! I love what your doing. .. In my books The best GUI for encoding Ever! I'd love to donate but unfortunately Money is scarce in my life at the moment, but when my situation changes...


Cheers,

@buzzwq

I find a bug in .097.1

I doesn't have Nero AAC in my folders. I choose mkv, PS3 profile, audio ac3. Add to queue.. start encoding

and got a popup.. Nero is not... click close.. and the encoding starts.

the popu should be there when it's not required.

thanks

[Ajax_Undone]

I think you are supposed to add it! Because it being a proprietary freeware program he can not legally include it as part of the package...

[buzzqw]

@paolo1983

But if I check AUTO resize , should I use anamorphic or not ??
no, when using auto don't use anamorphic. Use anamorphic only when NOT doing resize

@technoir1

thanks for your kind words :)

When I loaded the command lines into the Divx264 encoder as per your advice I got the message "Error: Bitrate outside profile specification"

divx264 is a little more picky then x264, since it's tuned for max 4.0 Annex level, the bitrate you used was out of range (206749 KB/S !!!, over 200MB/sec :p )

I want to use CRF value with divx264 like X264...Is this possibile? I can not see anything in the log that refers to quality percentage or CRF Value, nor is their a CRF profile on the
actually divx264 DON'T support crf encoding, that's way only 1 pass or 2 pass encoding

File size is not a problem (I aim about 2-3 GB per standard PAL or NTSC movie) Mayby you might like to disable the ability to select "don't care about size"
that's a good suggestion :) never use "Don't care about size" with divx264

to get the same quality as a crf of say 17 or 18 on "constant Quality using DivX264 do I have to select 2 pass mode or is 1pass high performance suitable? sorry about
1 pass high performace should give a good speed encoding and a very acceptable quality (i can only suggest: try it)

thanks for your test and feel free to suggest and point problem

I know that.. but if I don't want to include it, it my choice.. but the problem is not there.. it's that there is a popup that block the encoding process, and it's not use for the settings that I choose.

[Chengbin]

How many cores can x264 support? The new Nahelem processor now supports 8 sessions. I hope it can use all 8 cores.

[Dark Shikari]

How many cores can x264 support?More than you have.

I'm going through my DVD collection, and converting movies over to MKV's using the popcorn hour profile. And a few of my movies do not properly encode. The DGIndex runs, and then the first few x264 windows run, but the final x264 encoding fails. upon examining the temp dir, a movie-FIXED.d2v file was created. If I delete the move.d2v, and rename the -FIXED.d2v to movie.d2v, I can run the x264 bat file, and then the muxing.bat file and it will work.. however the aspect ratio isn't always quite right.

What is producing this -FIXED file, and is there a way to get autoMKV to use it if it detects it?

Thanks
-Jeff

[Chengbin]

I think I found a bug.

For some reason now AutoMKV will burn the subtitles from the original file into the output when that option is checked off.

[Chengbin]

Also, I'm been noticing this very often now. For some reason the frame rate of the first minute is low. It felt like 10fps. It got back to normal after 1 minute into the video or so. But there is very noticeable lag (especially in panning). When I viewed the frames 1 by 1, some frames will be the same for 2-3 frames while the original video's frames has clearly moved in every single frame. It's kind of strange.

I noticed this too and it happened 3 movies in a row so it's not a fluke.

[paolo1983]

Great!
I used settings you suggested, and everything have been very fast and good quality...
Maybe 2pass_SAP is faster than others, maybe when I tried other settings i had done something wrong, I don't know...
I still haven't tried this on my standalone player, but on pc it looks great!
I used this... Everything seems to be fine imho ...

This time my cpu was almost fully used by virtualdubmod and xvid , sometimes in the past xvid only used 50-55% , I don't know why, but this time is OK...

movie fixed are created by dgindex when found a "bad transition" in mpeg stream
could you upload a sample (where problem is repicable) to analyze ?

burn or mux ?

sorry pal.. not due to automkv.. are you using the full 0.97.1 with x264.exe from http://x264.nl ?

@paolo1983
glad you resolved ! :)

BHH

[Chengbin]

It will burn the subtitles into the video.

I'm using the full 0.971 package. I tried 0.95 and it doesn't have the low frame rate problem.

[Chengbin]

buzzqw (or dark shikari) please fix this frame rate problem because a LOAD of my encoding has just been flushed down the toilet because of this.

[Dark Shikari]

buzzqw (or dark shikari) please fix this frame rate problem because a LOAD of my encoding has just been flushed down the toilet because of this.Its not related to x264; x264 takes a frame in and puts a frame out. It has no concept of framerate.
