I think I found a bug. When adding multiple DVD sources to a queue, each time you analyze you have the previous DVD's pgcs available in the dropdown box.

Edit; And if you analyze the same movie twice, you get the pgc in there twice.

buzzqw, how do I use multiple avisynth plugins in HDC?

I want to use the following

GradFun2DBmod() (successful)
TweakColor(Sat=3.0) (successful)
SSSharp(ssw=true, iter=2, strength=3) (not successful)
MVDegrain 3 (successful, of course)

I can't use 2 plugins at the same time. Under the basic filters box, for example, I wrote GradFun2DBmod(), TweakColor(Sat=3.0), and it doesn't work.

EDIT, OK, if I put a filter in the free avs string box, it works.

Hi,

Have you tried
GradFun2DBmod().TweakColor(Sat=3.0)
using a dot as separator?

@Buzz
Do you think HDConvertoX can be used as a beginner Gui for x264 encoding?

Thanks. That worked. Now I just can't get super slow sharpener to work.

How do I indicate which filter is applied first? I would like to degrain first then apply super slow sharpener.

I don't think HDC is a very good beginner GUI. I think AutoMKV is a much better beginner GUI.

[Crono141]

No offense meant to buzzq, but AutoMKV is far from simple and easy. Also, so many reduntant bugs and switches (in the background, messing up your settings) that I understand why he dumped the project.

Unfortunately, as far as video encoding goes, both these programs are easy and straightforward, but you do need to play with them and learn some things about video encoding in general before you really can understand and use them well. My first DVD to divx program was DVDx 1.5 I believe, and that was simple. And for how simple it was, I still didn't know how to use it or what any of the switches or terminology meant (crop? AR? Anamorphic?).

Theres no easy way to understand this stuff. You just have to learn as you go.

[Crono141]

Buzz,

Your command line for Direct264 DVD conversion is incorrect. For DVD conversion, you need to specify the vts_01_1.ifo. Currently, HDC passes vts_01_1.vob. This only encodes the first VOB, not the whole movie.

fixed in next update

buzzqw, how do I use multiple avisynth plugins in HDC?
the filter box list is editable.
you can write

GradFun2DBmod().TweakColor(Sat=3.0).Undot()

but you need all needed plugins/script

SSSharp(ssw=true, iter=2, strength=3) (not successful)
hdc don't know anything about sssharp, ypu must put the avsi with fuction in filter folder

Do you think HDConvertoX can be used as a beginner Gui for x264 encoding?

maybe, or.. i hope so.

it should be straightforward in usage, and easy to use (hoping so)

the first filter in chain will apply first. :eek:

:thanks::helpful:
automkv was my second program, and my knowledge of programming (and encoding) was very early. automkv has grow to a mess of fuctions and fuctions, very loose tight each other.
i was usable to fix some of more important bug, or implement new fuctions, since it will need the totally rewrote of many (read spaghetti code) sections of structure.
Btw automkv has lot of interesting code, and was a "furnace" for my experiments, so .. i hope that someone could pick the source code and ... do something :)

the dgindex line MUST be vts_01_1.vob AND dgindex will automatically load ALL current vob set (it's the -AIF option)
the eac3to will load each vob using the merge (+)
the subs is extracted using pgcdemux, so is ok

BHH

[Chengbin]

I did put it in the folder. I copied the script from the SSSharp thread (the code part) to notepad and saved it as a .avsi file and put it in the filter folder.

[buzzqw]

and you have open the movie.avs in virtualdub and.... ?

BHH

[Chengbin]

There is no function SSSharp

???

EDIT: never mind, the file extension on SSSharp was bad (it was .avs). I changed it to .avsi, and opening with Vdub, it says "there is no function named awarpsharp"

SSSharp: line 37, 65,
fullvideo.avs: line 82

[Chengbin]

After getting the awarpsharp filter, now Vdub says there is no function named unsharp. Where can I get this filter? I see Tunsharp, but I don't know if that's the same thing.

Actually, when using Direct264, DGIndex doesn't run at all. Eac3to correctly grabs all the vobs as currently coded, but when the direct264 executes, it only handles the first vob as coded. Per the Direct264 thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141441), after registering both vtsreader.ax and decssfilter.ax, Direct264 can handle the vts_01_0.ifo natively. I believe proper function should be to pass the vob chain to eac3to as you are now, but then pass the ifo to x264.

This is only when using Direct264 though. Otherwise things are working as they should.

Did we ever figure out how to crop and deinterlace with Direct264? Perhaps by passing parameters (such as cropping values and deinterlacing method) to ffdshow?

Edit: Also, it seems that the .h264 video produced from this encode is messed up somehow. TSmuxergui reports "Bad SEI detected. SEI too short" about a bazillion times, then fails to mux. I'm going to try again with ffdshow "deinterlace" and "autocrop" and see what I get.

[buzzqw]

sorry Crono141!

i misurestud direct264!

yes, you are right dgindex don't run

Direct264 can handle the vts_01_0.ifo natively. I believe proper function should be to pass the vob chain to eac3to as you are now, but then pass the ifo to x264.

thanks!, i will look asap

Okay, should be a permanent mirror for the HDconverttoX update. I will try and keep it updated whenever I see an update.

i sometimes made silent update too.. would be possible to automatically sinch every 24 (or less) hours ?

There is a vdub unsharp filter, its not an avisynth filter though http://neuron2.net/mine.html

However there is unsharpmask, unsure if that is what you are looking for.

http://avisynth.org/warpenterprises/

[Crono141]

Looks like for telecined movies there's a --smoothts option for Direct264. Running the encode again with this option as well as ffdshow option produces the same error in TSMuxer. It seems there is something wrong with encoding using direct264, and its beyond my skill or knowledge to figure out.

I'm going to be doing a fresh install of Windows 7 RC1 today, so hopefully that will fix many of my problems I've had previously.

[buzzqw]

i will look deeply on direct264, now was just an hack :p

in next updated (will be a full one) i added support for nicaudio/soundout plugin and visual crop
with visual crop would be possibile to view and set crop values :) (only crop , not resize)

btw i haven't feedback about bitrate calculator and dg indexer

BHH

[Crono141]

Also, ffdshow autocrop is not recommended. I opened the .x264 file in VLC (and it played) but the cropping was changing depending on the scene, sometimes cutting out almost 50% of the video for extended periods.

Also, there were large chunks of the file that had bad data, that VLC couldn't render. This is probably where TSMuxer had its issues.

[buzzqw]

thanks for your test Crono141

what about reporting to Direct264 threads ?

BHH

[SeeMoreDigital]

Hi Buzz,

Given that the "Force DirectShowSource" and "Force FFMS2" options need to be selected before selecting "Analyze File", I reckon it would make sense to move them to the "Source File Info" area. Maybe something like this: -

Crop & Resize Tab: -

Video Encoder Tab: -

as usually a big :thanks: to you!

one more info: what's about NeroDigital compatibility ? what i have to check on encoding ? any link ?

thanks again!

Yeah, I'll setup a cron job when I have some time.

Edit: Okay, cron job up and running!

www.mirror.adubvideo.net/HDConvertToX.exe should be to date from now on!

[Dal]

Hello again.
Maybe it has been answered before, but what do I do if I don't want to resize / change resolution ?

Thanks.

[buzzqw]

@Dal

set all crop value to 0, set width and then height to original value

[Nasdravi]

Hello BHH,

I really like your program, is the only one that i use now, after trying lots of similar ones.
Works perfectly. Keep up the good work :)
And please include a trim function, so we can get rid of the credits in order to earn some quality.
Cheers mate :)

Nasdravi

[buzzqw]

Hi Nasdravi and Welcome to the Forum

you can already use the "free avs string" to put your trim :)

BHH

[Nasdravi]

:) You make it sound so simple !
Any chance you gimme an example of the string i need to add in the 'Free avs string' dialog box in order to trim at lets say: 1:30min ?
Cheers

Nasdravi

[buzzqw]

for ntsc (23.976)

trim(0,2158)

for pal

trim(0,2250)

in this example the film will be from 0 frames to 2250 frames, all other frames (2251, 2252 ...) will be cutted out

it's just the framerate * seconds



BHH

[Crono141]

Ok. I'm back up and running, and just as I suspecting, doing a fresh install of Win7 fixed all my playback issues I was having, even after installing ffdshow and haali, and avisynth, and ac3filter.

If we're redesigning the interface again, can I request that in the audio and subtitles selection tab, that we have the option to add external audio and subtitles?

EDIT: Whats up with the interlace test? Its been running for over an hour now, and it seems to be encoding at a blazing fast 13 fps. Half done and eta 35 min remaining? How much work does this have to do to tell me if its telecined or interlaced or progressive? Surely there's a better way of doing this?

EDIT AGAIN: Queue seems broken. I queued up 2 movies (ifos) to convert. The first one didn't seem to convert at all (no output file) and the second one had an output file without audio muxed in. Here's the report:

Has anyone successfully converted VC-1 material using HDConverToX under Windows 7? I have no problem with H264 or MPEG-2, but VC-1 just won't go. Works great under Vista.... Any help would be greatly appreciated....

[Sharc]

Hi buzzqw

I like the revised GUI design and like to comment that after cropping and resizing the Stream PAR of the encoded stream should actually be:

Stream PAR = Original PAR x (resized_height x cropped_width) : (cropped_height x resized_width).

It may be added as --sar x:y to the x.264 command line, useful for those decoders which read the sar from the stream.

Presently you always indicate the Original PAR, independent of the resizing.

[Crono141]

Visual crop does nothing for me. Of course, MPC preview doesn't work for me either.

EDIT: Preview actually produces something: It says: "TFM: d2v frame count does not match filter frame count (154515 vs 37014). (preview.avs line 67)

[buzzqw]

I'd like to report a bug. Sometimes when I'm encoding a vob file HDC opens up DGindex but instead of it analyzing the file like it normally does, it just opens the main dgindex window and does nothing. After I manually exit DGindex conversion automatically finishes without results.

Here is what HDC sends as data:


C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\temp>"C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\applications\Pgc
Demux.exe" -pgc 26 -nocellt -nolog -noaud -nosub -nom2v -vob "C:\Users\Mihailo\D

] -OF=[C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\temp\movie] -exit -minimize

[buzzqw]

C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\temp>"C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\applications\Pgc
Demux.exe" -pgc 26 -nocellt -nolog -noaud -nosub -nom2v -vob "C:\Users\Mihailo\D
ownloads\Monsters Of Metal Vol.4 DVD\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO" "C:\Users\Mihailo\De
sktop\HDC\temp\"

this is failing, and so dgindex don't found the vobs

could you please launch only the pgcdemux line and see the errors ?

thanks

BHH

[toology]

No problem, just tell me what to enter in command prompt. I tried Copy/Paste from your post

"C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\applications\PgcDemux.exe" -pgc 26 -nocellt -nolog -noaud -nosub -nom2v -vob "C:\Users\Mihailo\Downloads\Monsters Of Metal Vol.4 DVD\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO" "C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\temp\"


but it didn't work. It just gives me C:\Users line again

[buzzqw]

could you try to use a simplier path ?

maybe due to "." in "vol.4"

move the video_ts in c:\temp , so you got c:\temp\VIDEO_TS\ (and here all vobs/ifo files)

then launch

"C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\applications\PgcDemux.exe" -pgc 26 -nocellt -nolog -noaud -nosub -nom2v -vob "C:\temp\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO" "C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\temp\"

and check the "C:\Users\Mihailo\Desktop\HDC\temp\" folder if file "appears"

Hallo, I have taken from mkv video file through mkvextract video track.h264 to change wight/height, at analysis the program enters it in mkv temporarily, it is possible that did without input in mkv? And why it does it? Thanks.


Sorry for my bad English.
