It seems I catch another bug.
1) I set temp to e:/temp,
2) then open dvd, analize,
3) press "preview" - all is OK,
4) then set encoding parameters, add queue(without pressing "generate encode"),
5) Press "preview" again and get error in player
"Color matrix could not open specified d2v project file!
e:\temp preview.avs line 75"

dump preview preview.avs from step 3

@rickhtoo

automkv has an automatic deinterlace routines.

HDC as a good deinterlace detection BUT isn't automatic.

if you think that your movie is interlaced : in "De-interlace" list select Interlaced , if your movie is to ivtc (is 29.97 fps) just select Film NTSC

BHH

So when I get the jagged edges, that means the movie is interlaced? Just trying to figure out how to tell without doing a complete encode and having to do it again. Is there an easy way to tell this? If the Analyze routine shows 29.97 then I should choose Film NTSC? If I'm converting DVD would it be safe to assume they are interlaced and simply use that as a default?

Just ran into another issue trying to convert a 2 DVD set of Blue Planet. The frame rate shows 25 fps and I tried Adub's suggestion of selecting force DSS2. I then set it to Insane quality. After 2 plus hours the conversion finally finished. Almost... The progress showed 100.0 % with 0 time left. However the frames showed 65470/65477. The conversion stopped there and never finished.... I am in the process of doing it over but I created new ifo's with ifoedit. Will see what happens and post the progress. Thanks for your help Buzz.

btw, here is the make report from the failed conversion.

After a lot of experimentation I find that Film NTSC will not work.. Tried several rips, and it refuses to encode the video if I choose that mode. However Interlaced does work and solves the problem with jagged edges. This was using a rip that showed 29.97 fps. I guess I will just keep it on Interlaced and see how it goes.

Greetings,
have another dummy question. Does any1 uses Sharktooth profiles in HDC ? Yes, I admit I am too lazy to write down each profile setting manually. I have changed buzz x264 Infinite Time preset a little bit not to take "infinite time" and the quality is nice but I want to compare it with Shark ones and implemet in HDC (because its neat gui).
Thanx.

quite easy, just add the encoding to megui, and "copy" the second pass encoding to hdc profile.
you must omit the --pass 2, bitrate and --threads auto --thread-input --no-psnr --progress

I still have the problem that the Visual Crop window cuts the 1920x1080 original picture off at the bottom and on the right side. I don't apply any resizing. If I open the *.bmp pictures in the applications folder in a viewer, they are all correct. So something must go wrong with the sizing of Visual Crop window - perhaps because it would exceed the size of the display (?).

And perhaps a cosmetic issue only for 2-pass mode:
The bitrate which is passed on to the x264 cmdline (queue.bat) is lower than what is displayed as text below the the video quality slider (.....; Bitrate= ...)

for visualcrop: i will make more test
for bitrate: yes, only visual gitch

It seems I catch another bug.
1) I set temp to e:/temp,
2) then open dvd, analize,
3) press "preview" - all is OK,
4) then set encoding parameters, add queue(without pressing "generate encode"),
5) Press "preview" again and get error in player
"Color matrix could not open specified d2v project file!
e:\temp preview.avs line 75"

thanks , fixed

So when I get the jagged edges, that means the movie is interlaced? Just trying to figure out how to tell without doing a complete encode and having to do it again. Is there an easy way to tell this? If the Analyze routine shows 29.97 then I should choose Film NTSC? If I'm converting DVD would it be safe to assume they are interlaced and simply use that as a default?

more then often documentaries have mixed patters, both telecined and interlaced..
i suggest to use the Preview with different deinterlacers, and find what is more suited for input

make sure you had enough space on disk.. i strongly doubt is a problem of ifo

for visualcrop: i will make more test

My monitor is 1280x1024 (max). Maybe that's the problem with 1920x1080 sources.
If we would reduce the Visual Crop size by 2 if it it doesn't fit the display - and perhaps admit the cropping in steps of 2 pixels only?
(I think DGIndex tools do something similar for the same reason)

if apply a reduceby2 (or what ever resizing) the crop values will be referred to a resized image, and so wrong

i will study a better approach...

Hi,

would it be possible to improve queue.bat little bit?

I would add the following two lines at the beginning and end of queue.bat:
prompt $d $t $_$P$G
"C:\DVD\HDC\applications\dgindex.exe" -FO=0 -OM=0 -YR=2 -AIF=[c:\dvd\title.mkv] -OF=[C:\DVD\HDC\temp\movie] -exit -minimize

pause

The first line should cause that there will be timestamp written to the command line before each command, so we can easily measure execution time for each command line.

The last line should cause that CMD window will not close and user can check what really happen.

:thanks:

first one is really usefull :)

I use pause too (manualy insert it on queue in HDC), but before pause I colorize text - to visualy see when process is finished :rolleyes:

example:
prompt $d $t $_$P$G

When I use "pause" more times, I each time colorize text in different color. :cool:

I know. I was just putting example how I colorize text before pause - that way you can easier see when encode is done and queue is on pause (before next encode starts).

I was using this before I used multitemp - so I didn't loose temp files if encode wasn't correct (I usually have more videos in queue).

never finished ??? that's strange.. a lot.
make sure you had enough space on disk.. i strongly doubt is a problem of ifo

Nope it wasn't the ifo.. Not a problem with disk space either. It actually hasn't happened since I set it back to choose the best encoder. I did however change a few other settings. Deint was set to none when having the jagged edge problems, and although there is an automatic selection I have not tried that. I will try the force DSS2 setting again to see if that was causing the encode not to finish, but it happened on 2 different DVD's. Also the Film NTSC mode was causing the encode to never happen. Not until I set it to interlaced did it actually work. Still trying to narrow down cause and effect, but I'm starting to be more successful getting proper encodes to happen. I'll keep you informed when I figure out what was causing the encode to hang at the end.. Very aggravating.. Thanks

Rick

Definitely, the problem is caused by DSS2.. Every time I use it, the encode never finishes... Reinstall Haali? Maybe there is a newer version, I will check.

Reinstalled Haali 1.9.42.1. Upon installation, it disabled the internal version as well as Gabests version, I assume that is the required action.
Other than that, not sure what else I can do. Possibly a Vista issue? Who knows....

Hi,

I have MKV (created from DVD by MakeMKV) with 1 video (mpeg2), 2 audio (ac3) and 3 subs streams and want to reencode video to X264.

There is some problem with subs:

eac3to v3.16

This subtitle conversion is not supported. <ERROR>

Of course, .sup file is not created.

sorry, if eac3to don't support it.. i cannot support it
in next full update i have added a mkvextract capability, you will be able to manually extract it

Definitely, the problem is caused by DSS2.. Every time I use it, the encode never finishes... Reinstall Haali? Maybe there is a newer version, I will check.

Reinstalled Haali 1.9.42.1. Upon installation, it disabled the internal version as well as Gabests version, I assume that is the required action.
Other than that, not sure what else I can do. Possibly a Vista issue? Who knows....

copy from haali folder to \filters the avss.dll
also make sure you have checked in ffdshow the dvd decoding in mpeg2
also try with libmpeg decoder..

Hi,

I have MKV (created from DVD by MakeMKV) with 1 video (mpeg2), 2 audio (ac3) and 3 subs streams and want to reencode video to X264.

There is some problem with subs:

Of course, .sup file is not created.

not sure if it helps but i have had the same problem with makemkv files.. i gave up with them after seeing this post and re-ripped from the source

Apparently, the .MKVs created by "MakeMKV" do something to the subtitles that "tsMuxeR" cannot properly process

I would report it to MakeMKV forum, but I have no idea whats the problem. Do you have any idea?

BTW, mkvextract is able to extract it to .sub and .idx with no problems.

BTW, mkvextract is able to extract it to .sub and .idx with no problems.

yes, i know (as said i have already added a support to mkvextract)

but i will continue relying on eac3to for demuxing mkv , in the hope that eac3to will continue to be supported

Could add the ability to save automatically with the same name as the original when the file is saved in different folder or is not the same extension as the original file.Here he adds the final file, a text before the original name. Thanks.

When I open a video, and leave the "output" empty, the filename final gets of hdfullconvert_xxxxxxxxxx.avi, and wanted to know if you can get only xxxxxxx.avi

I use google translator. Sorry for bad english

buzzqw

2nd June 2009, 19:49

i add hdconverttox_xxxxxxx because users could reencode the file to the same container. like test.avi to test.avi

and this can't be possible

you should name your output file, or take the hdconverttox prefix

BHH

Havokdan

2nd June 2009, 20:03

I know, I referred to cases that were, for example mkv> avi, another conversion between various containers, keeping the prefix where you use the same containter or output was in a different folder than the original. Anyway, thanks for the quick response.

BHH

But do you have any idea what this message "This subtitle conversion is not supported." means? Is it related to codepage of subtitles or their format or?

EDIT: Ok, forget my questions. I have searched through eac3to forum and found the answer. VobSub format of subtitles is not supported. Probably they should be in SRT or some other format.

Hey buzz,

I recently switched to Windows 7 RC and when I try to convert a single Vob file via HDC I get the please check meda properties error. I installed K Lite Codec Pack 32 and 64 and used the tool you linked to set everything to ffdshow.

I tried to encode a video with HDC embedding the sub to the video. But the first few minutes of the subtitle is flickering. Any fix to that?

Hey buzz,

Bad idea. Remove any codec packs you are using. Just use FFDShow and Haali, that's all you need.

FYI. The more I use HDC, the more I learn. I finally was able to get an encode accomplished that I've been trying to do for about a week now. The movie is 100 Million BC. This movie is one of the few that AutoMKV could not do. It would try, but could not do the video encode. The following is what I have discovered.

AutoMKV - Failed, could not encode the video

HDC (Deint none) Would do the encode, but unsatisfactory results. Jaggies on moving objects and choppy panning.

HDC (Deint FilmNTSC) Would not encode the video

HDC (Deint Interlaced) Full encode, no jaggies, but very choppy panning

Testing the Deint showed the movie to be Telecine (This is also what AutoMKV was trying to choose)

HDC (Deint Telecine) Would not encode the video...

I finally got a perfect encode of this movie by choosing Interlaced/Telecine for Deint, which makes sense now that I understand what is happening.

Hey I'm learning.. ;)

Thanks Buzz

gday buzz

am having a problem with a dvd im trying to convert to 264 in mkv. it crashes when trying to convert the subs.

also, i have 3 other questions.
1) when i checked this video with hdc's test interlace it said "Report: Progressive, order=1" yet you can see in the second dump below (from eac3to) that it reports the video as mpeg2, 576i50. (doesnt that mean its interlaced?)
2) i would have expected that this video would have been pal (original was bought in oz) yet there is a reference in the BDSup2Sub command line to ntsc (/res:ntsc). is this correct?
3) how do i know if hdc is picking up and then re-using the existing chapters (before i encode and find that they're missing)

here is the info from the make report

1) even if eac3to report 50i, it doesn't mean that video is interlaced. Deinterlace test should be correct
2) fixed in next update
3) sorry pal, but in your case no chapter are extracted.
Why ? you feed as input the first vob. If you use as input the vts_01_1.ifo HDC will extract and use chapters too :)

thanks for the quick response buzz :)

i will try this again later but with the ifo selected rather than the vob.
is there some way now (or could it be added) to see the chapter information? even if its not editable at least we would know for sure that hdc has recognised their existance and will incorperate them in the mkv (i have had a couple of encodes now without them)

cheers :)

just add the work to queue, and check if ChapterXtractor.exe is invoked
if yes, you will see in mkvmerge command the chapter muxing too

Does HDC allow us to choose the resize filter? Is this a hidden option?

Bad idea. Remove any codec packs you are using. Just use FFDShow and Haali, that's all you need.

Okay, but I trust CLSID, that codec pack never caused troubles for me. I just use it so I don't have to set splitters etc. The only audio/video decoder I use is ffdshow. Can haali work for mpeg 2, h264 and divx?

Hi,

thanks for another update!

MKVExtract GUI does not extract subtitles from MKV (MKV is OK, I can work with it using MKVtoolnix). I cannot tell you any other details, because command line window closed automatically and therefore I do not see any error. EDIT: maybe you could use this: http://coreforge.org/projects/mkvextractgui/ . It works fine.

Another issue for me is, that even if this GUI would work and I could extract subtitles, I cannot mux them to output, because it is not possible to specify external subtitles for MKV to MKV conversion.

Thanks.

Sorry, perhaps I made a mistake. Over on the codecgude forums (they make K lite) clsid is the admin and post changelogs, helps people etc. So I assumed he is the author, I apologize if I made a mistake.

So you think if I install ffdshow + Haali that HDC will start working on Windows 7? I have used clsids tool to switch everything to ffdshow and have verified that Media Player Classic uses ffdshow to decode the vob file.

EDIT: Installed ffdshow + Haali only and I still get the 'Please check media properties' error.

@ricktoo

what mean "would not encode the video" ?

do you got errors in avs ? what's happen when you open the avs script in virtualdub ?

another one try could be the "double ivtc" but you should do it only if your movie would be 23.976 fps

also.. post a report and a 50mb of sample file

BHH

What I mean is it doesn't encode the video after Deint Analysis. It extracts the audio track then quickly zips through the encode directly to Mkvmerge. Just creates a mkv with the audio track and no video. This happens with both AutoMKV and HDC if the deint method is incorrect. Even though it declares the movie Telecine, it will not work unless I choose Interlaced/Telecine. AutoMKV doesn't appear to have that choice which is why it doesn't work.

This is indeed NTSC, with 29.97 fps. Another interesting issue I found was if I choose anything but "Use best decoder", as in choosing DSS, it will only encode 20 minutes of the dvd. I have to let it choose the decoder to get a full encode.

Do you want a 50 mb sample of the dvd, or a failed encode?

Oh, I have it installed. It's contained in my MeGUI directory. However, since your program references the executable contained in your "applications" directory, and you did not include the dll's, it was erroring out. A quick fix is to copy the dll's from my MeGUI installed version to the "applications" directory.

I had originally thought that you would have wanted to include the dlls with your whole package, but that is your call.

Huh, okay, I was not aware that clsid was a developer for the Klite codec pack. The general consensus on this forum is not to use codec packs.

However, as to the problem that you are having, it is certainly odd. I would imagine that the problem lies with Windows 7 some how.

Wait.

You do have Avisynth installed right? What happens when you drag and drop the generated .avs file contained in the "temp" directory onto MPC or VirtualDub?

It does seem a little odd to analyze vob files with directshowsource, but looking at it from a developer standpoint, it is probably the easiest option to implement.

However for a movie that's Interlaced/Telecine it does not detect it properly. Since I already knew it was Interlaced I figured out it must be a combination of the 2 though.

gday again buzz :)

i have a couple of requests/suggestions for hdc.

1) can there be a "chapters" box added to the source file info panel (see attached modified jpg)

2) in the crop/resize panel can you add some preset frame sizes (1080p, 720p, 576p etc. maybe also whatever is std psp and ipod screen size etc.)
the way i am suggesting they work is...
after analyzing you get the autocrop size of the frame.
this frame size is then upsized/downsized until it fits within the preset framesize.
because of the mod block width & height you have set, the AR error may be large so... the crop gets adjusted out until a minimum ar error is achieved.

i may not be explaining myself to well so i will run thru what i do now manually

source is 1080p, movie ar=2.4616
mod block set to 16 x 16

after analyzing:
autocrop is 0,0,140,140
resize is 1920x784
ar error is 0.5140

as i want 720p i adjust my manual width to 1280 (i know the height will be less than 720)

the height adjusts to 512 (because of mod block height being 16)
but now the ar error is -1.5373

so i adjust the crop sizes for the height out to find the least ar error.
as i do this, the manually set width x height clicks over to 1280 x 528
and when i get to a crop of 0,0,134,134 i get an ar error of 0.0391.... (thats as good as it gets & thats what i will encode at)

what do you think? or is it just me that does/needs this?

see attached jpg for an idea of layout

This would normally imply to (re-)add black borders correctly. Just cropping and resizing to some standard resolution would introduce non-standard anamorphic distortion (which has to be signalled accordingly in the stream or container). Non standard anamorphic distortions may playback fine on some software players, but would normally cause problems with any authoring SW and/or standalones. I doubt if this is what you really want.

gday sharc

you have miss understood what i am doing. i dont want anamorphic, nor do i want to add black borders to bring it up to fill a 720p frame or whatever.

most of the time i am cropping to get rid of the black borders, but as the new (auto cropped) size is rarely devisable 16x16 there is an ar error when resized to a reolution that is 16x16.
i am suggesting that when selected, the autocropped settings are adjusted out to the nearest, closest, lowest ar error.
(dont crop off as much)

from my example you can see that cropping off 6 pixels less top and bottom gives me a very minimal ar error while keeping 16x16 and within the bounds of 1280x720 (720p)

im not saying to fill the frame completely, just to make sure that either the width or height are on the frame size and the other is within it (not outside it)

hope this explains it better

cheers :)

6th June 2009, 09:19

... from my example you can see that cropping off 6 pixels less top and bottom gives me a very minimal ar error while keeping 16x16 and within the bounds of 1280x720 (720p)

Hmm, seems to me that you want the money AND the bread.
If you crop by 6 pixels less (134 instead of 140), doesn't it leave you with 6 pixels black borders then for the sake of getting minimum AR error? (A short clip of your source would definitely help).
Anyway, I feel it's a bit misleading to just put like "crop and resize to a x b" in the GUI.

Off the record: I have seen that after analyze (or similar action) it may be necessary to click with the mouse on the slider (not moving it) to get the sizing values updated.

Edit:
Btw., for x264 neither mod16 compliance nor black borders crossing macroblocks boundaries are terribly important, as x264 copes very efficiently with such effects.

buzzqw

6th June 2009, 10:30

from my point of view is easy to add a combo for select some preset resize, BUT i will simply set height to this value, i will not change crop or mod width/height

buzz, i know you probably looking to fix bugs etc, but, was just thinking about extra features. I currently backup my blu rays to m2ts files, but, with this, i loose chapters and subtitles. I will be getting the new PCH (NMT) which will be able to stream BD ISO's and read avchd/blu ray structures from folders/hard drives over the network.

I think you can see where I am going with this, will it be possible to add an output to avchd/blu ray structures? I can then have subtitles and chapters.....even menu's with deans programs :D. Ripbot has this feature, you can select the video track, audio track, subtitles and chapters to output to an avchd/blu ray structure. I have donated 20USD to give it some extra thought :D

EDIT: it's just a basic concept
when you select x264 as codec, you can output a avchd or a blueray structure (regardless you have select x264+mkv or x264+m2ts)
autochapters will work too, but no copy chapter from original movie (i must look at it)

I still am having a problem with HDConvertToX (So, I am still using AutoMKV at the moment.) Let me try to explain.

When I have a PAL movie in a 4:3 AR, with a resolution of 720 * 576, from which I want to crop 16 - 16 from left and right, and 8 - 8 from top and bottom, which would leave me a 688 x 560 file.

How do I tell HDConvertToX to use that resolution?

* If I try to enter it, HDConvertToX will automaticly scale it to 688x520 (or688x528 if I set MOD16)
* I can select anamorphic, which will give me 688 x 560, but this will screw op the AR.

How can I solve this?

I have another question if you don't mind. Let's say I have a movie that tests to be telecine with HDC. This same movie would show tff and telecine using AutoMKV. Since AutoMKV doesn't have Telecine as a choice in the Deint option, what method does it use? Also I can't seem to find a field order selection in HDC, how does it know to choose tff?

Thanks Buzz!

@ALL

about chapter in bluray/avchd

as you know HDC will work using its strong queue features, and by time of adding work to queue, the chapters aren't already extracted (you can see the chapter extraction in queue)

BUT: if i want to add support to bluray/avchd chapters i must know the exact timing os chapters BEFORE adding works to queue

my question is: how is fast chapter extracting using eac3to ?

thinks about this: you click "add to queue" (or "generate encode"), before the job start or queue are generated, hdc will force eac3to to scan m2ts for extracting chapters and then will create the appropriate timing in tsmuxer meta's file

i truly don't know how fast can be, if is a matter of seconds, could be insteresing, but if require more time.. don't know if can be useful

thanks

chapter extraction from an .m2ts takes about 5 to 10 seconds using eac3to.
Why this race? Cant it be done similar to audio extraction (which takes much longer)?

spida_singh

to extract a chapter should in theory take seconds, it's a very small file, using the stream extractor, it took 7 seconds, just for info really.

Why this race? Cant it be done similar to audio extraction (which takes much longer)?

audio extraction is done when encoding is in progress... for chapters i must know it when you start encoding (not after..)

update hdc for chapters and bluray/avchd

for testing

load your m2ts
select as codec x264 and check blueray or avchd
add to queue

make sure a chapters.txt is done in temp folder
make sure in meta file you will see the chapters timing

sorry pal, but it's a features i am unable to test (no blueray drive :( )

Surprise.... I always made the experience that audio / subs extraction (eac3to) and audio re-encoding (libAften) is done before the video encoding (x264) starts at all. Means strictly sequential, one after the other. Did I get something wrong? Just curious.....

i will explain better:

all pass are done one step at time

and so the chapter extraction is done after the .meta file is created and after the muxing line is added to queue too

every time you start an encoding (or add to queue) ALL jobs is already stored, and so hdc have no work
hdc will not check or analyze anything after first work is started

Yep! All your test steps passed successfully

For some reason I had the idea, these values jumped back every time, but it seems I was wrong. Removed AutoMKV from my system, and using HDC now and just made the donation I promised some time ago already.

One question though (not directly HDC related), how much does compression suffer when using MOD8/4/2 instead of MOD16? I have the idea the difference is not that big.

about compression and mod: x264 will no suffer or at least not enough to be significative.
While Xvid need mod 8/16, x264 will works well even with mod4

pay attention to filters, some requires mod16

Worked fine, I will test a full disc tomorrow/tonight.

On that subject, HDC defaults to mod4 width and mod16 height. Would it be better to just set both to mod16 by default? I would think they should both be the same..

After analyzing an mpg file it wouldn't detect the audio. The make report shows script flagged audio to false. I thought I would use the DG Indexer. However DG indexer fails as file not supported and it didn't detect audio either.

I tested the file in Megui's Dgindexer was able to detect and demux audio and video, so I figure your DGindexer should work and then load files into HDC.

And another request:
Would it be possible for HDC to accept as input files *.dgv, *.dga, *.dgm index files from neuron2's NV tools (similar to the currently accepted *.d2v)?

2) my main development pc is a virtual windows xp on fedora..... i cant add it directly since i have no clue how it works (even if i own a nvidia 9600gt and have the license for Neuron2 NV tools)

on avi input, hdc will force the muxing in MKV and with mkv input eac3to works better than with mpeg...

buzzqw would it be possible to add the ability to edit tags for files we are encoding in HDC eg Title - Artist - Comment. Or perhaps accept an xml tag file.

Some players eg VLC need this info to display items correctly in the playlist. For example if I have 5 files encoded with HDC and loaded my files/directory with these files into vlc playlist all I would see is

Which can be a bit confusing. It's sort of VLC's fault for having advanced playlist features for video. Most players don't and usually only display the filename.

PS would it be easy to have HDC convert filename to .avi if the file is not supported as with mpeg files ?

Sorry too ask so much its just that I love your work

tfhfony

7th June 2009, 16:57

Which AR are you talking about?
- Display AR: you can just overtype the value in the GUI and check with Preview
- Pixel AR: this will change when you overtype the Width or the Height of the resizing (and depending on your intention tick Anamorphic Shape)

Well.. This seems to go wrong here...
I just converted a 4:3 video, 720x576 1:33 AR
The autocrop decided to remove 6 pixels left, 10 pixels right, making a 704x576 file, and the display AR mentiones 1.3334 (movie AR 1.3038). But the final file (which is nicely 704x576) get's an AR of 1.2. Right now I use mkvmerge GUI to remux it with the right AR.

http://www.file-hunter.com/hdc.JPG

You can probably already see the problem here, although it's an NTSC file (720x480). It's cropping 4 and 12 pixels, making the file 704x480. The Display AR is 1.3334, but the AR Error is already at -11%. Could it be that this is causing it?

Sharc

7th June 2009, 18:54

I think HDC is correct. The numbers do make sense, assuming an NTSC anamorphic source with a pixel aspect ratio of 8:9 for a Display AR of 4:3. You should try ticking the Anamorphic Shape - your source is probably anamorphic.
But for such discussions it would always be helpful to upload a short clip. Otherwise we continue with speculations.

Added:
Or if you leave Anamorphic Shape deselected you may have to overwrite the Height by 540 which will reverse the original anamorphic picture to one with a pixel AR of 1:1.

7th June 2009, 19:25

Nop.. The file I was using wasn't anamorphic.. Setting 540 does indeed give a correct AR, but that doesn't make sense: upscaling it to 540 to get a correct AR.
I might look into uploading a part of a clip soon :)

But I am puzzled anyway. It seems HDC always wants to scale (at least the height). It doesn't matter what PAL clip I load. The size HDC automaticly selects is never the original size - crop.
Horizontally it is...
Vertically it's always lower...

When I hit the anamorphic button, I do get the correct vertical height, but then the final AR is wrong, as the original file wasn't anamorphic.
What I am expecting is:

I load a file 720x576
HDC wants to crop 8x8 horizontal and 16x16 vertical (for example)
I expect HDC to select as output with: 704x544 But I get: 704x528 (or 704x512, etc...)

Well.. These are mainly old Michael Jackson clips from DVD, all shot in 4:3, and a Paolo Conte concert from early '90's, also shot it 4:3.
So all my 4:3 DVD's are actually Anamorphic?

/me was under the impression Anamorphic is a technique to get 16:9 within the old 4:3 resolution, and then to strech it to a 16:9 screen :)

Sharc

7th June 2009, 19:45

4:3 as well as 16:9 can be encoded as anamorphic - and in fact by far most commercial DVDs are - although the anamorphic distortion for 4:3 is much lower compared to 16:9, that's why it is perhaps less obvious and less evident.:)

tfhfony

7th June 2009, 19:47

Thanks for the explanation.. TFH learnt something new today :)

But it does leave the question for me: Why doesn't HDC select: original resolution - crop = output resolution and change the display AR accordingly?

Sharc

7th June 2009, 19:54

.... because you didn't tick "Anamorphic Shape". You have to tell HDC that your source is anamorphic.
DVDs are normally anamorphic, HD sources like blu-ray are normally non-anamorphic (i.e. pixel AR 1:1). So for blu-ray you should leave "Anamorphic Shape" deselected.

tfhfony

7th June 2009, 20:17

OK, thanks for clarifying :-)
Now I hope to find a solution for this issue: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1294464#post1294464 ;)

Sharc

7th June 2009, 20:32

You may try, although back-and-forth conversions between PAL and NTSC is more complicated than just changing the aspect ratios.
I am stll wondering a little why HDC did not change the height automatically to 540 with Anamorphic Shape deselected ....
I cannot test it because I have no NTSC DVDs at hand.

I did have to re make the structure using tsmuxer because i forgot to check keep core only resulting in structure being 8GB, I managed to make the acvhd 4.2GB by remuxing with core track only, burining to a DVD 5, and looked preety good as well, just dont know why i got no audio in the xmb when playing back, but everything else was fine, good work, i think ill have to re-test ensuring i keep core only and see how it goes.

Ok, one question, which is not direct HDC related...

I have a few DVD's with Music Video Clips. These were probably originally taped in NTSC, but the releases here in Europe are PAL. When I convert these files to xvid/mkv, I get a jitter in these files and I can't find a way to get rid of it.
So the DVD's are actually PAL (720x576@50Hz) and the original DVD's don't have this issue. But when I convert them, they jitter.
With original European productions, I don't see this issue at all.

i suggest to post an uprocessed sample from vob in avisynth forum

Just to let you know, i did a full enconde of transformers keeping original chapters and THD audio, everything went fine, and played ok, apart from i got silent on audio, don't know why, any ideas buzz?

subs: maybe using HdBrStreamExtractor ?

just use as input the first vob of vts, HDC will process all vobs belonging to this vts

so if you have 9 vts, you will have to queue "only" 9 job (vts_01_1.vob, vts_02_1.vob ....)

BHH

I also needed something clarified. I read this earlier. Needed some more info

If I have this DVD with songs each with its own VTS

VIDEO_TS.BUP
VTS_01_0.BUP
VTS_02_0.BUP
VTS_03_0.BUP
VTS_04_0.BUP

VTS_02_1.VOB
VTS_03_0.IFO
VTS_03_1.VOB
VTS_04_0.IFO
VTS_04_1.VOB

Is there a way to add all this once for the same settings I wish to encode it?

Earlier I also asked if I needed to retain best quality audio but needed to minimise the space taken up by audio AC3. You advised go with Nero AAC 0.40. Assume this is for video songs as well? If not then considering that fact that vbr audio did not give me the right size and I had to use CBR audio. Which one should I use?
So question is CBR or VBR is better with AAC for Video songs Vs movies. I did go with CBR for movies since I needed to get certain size. Hoping that I am not making a huge sacrifice in quality? Also when I chose CBR in HDC it went to a choice of bitrates. What bitrate corresponds to 0.40 and others?

So encoding with 2 channels is fine for these. Should I stick with AC3 or does Nero AAC good for this as well? If so what bitrate if CBR should I go for since these are music vids I got of the air. If you say VBR should I stick with 0.40 then?

select the first music vob, set hdc as you want, then add to queue.
select second vob, analyze it, then add to queue...

i am not an audiophile, but aac 0.4 quality should be enough for "normal" listening..
if you have expensive audio setup.. then reencode to flac

This way, i can use single file playback when required, and structure playback if menu's are used.

I can not convert to mp3 vbr / abr, even changing the options, the end result is always cbr, the command line is always, cbr, is it a bug?

gday all

i am trying to set up hdc on a fresh new windows7 64bit machine. has anyone had any success at doing this? any tips apart from those in the 1st post? any tweaks i should try out?
my first attempt last night didnt work :eek: but it was late so i didnt persist.

The command line when I select mp3 ABR is thus:

"E: \ HDConvertToX \ applications \ wavi.exe" "E: \ HDConvertToX \ temp \ Candy_Boy_07_mp4 \ hdconvert_audio_0_fullvideo.mkv.avs" - | "E: \ HDConvertToX \ applications \ lame.exe" - - cbr-b 128 " E: \ HDConvertToX \ temp \ Candy_Boy_07_mp4 \ hdencodertox-pid2.mp3 "

The command line when I select VBR mp3 is thus:

"E: \ HDConvertToX \ applications \ wavi.exe" "E: \ HDConvertToX \ temp \ Candy_Boy_07_mp4 \ hdconvert_audio_0_fullvideo.mkv.avs" - | "E: \ HDConvertToX \ applications \ lame.exe" - - cbr-b 4 " E: \ HDConvertToX \ temp \ Candy_Boy_07_mp4 \ hdencodertox-pid2.mp3 "

In the case of VBR,its working but the quality was much smaller than you indicated that would be in vbr above, or you were referring to the AAC abr/vbr?The interface of the application, so I press the button to add the task in the queue, the option returns bitrate management alone for cbr, in the case that I have selected originally abr or vbr.

VBR: please redownload the HDC update (but i haven't a clue :( )
ABR: look at your make report, the audio mode is CBR > ]MP3 Mode: cbr[/B]

9th June 2009, 11:06

Buzzqw, this is the problem with the ABR, I selected ABR, but when it changes by itself account for cbr.The GUI also automatically switches to CBR, where beginning to convert the files, even taking abr or vbr selected, but the abr command line switches to always cbr, vbr already the line of command is apparently correct, but the file is a horrible quality, I will now test this update.
Thanks for you help.

Sorry for my bad English.

buzzqw

9th June 2009, 11:23

abr/crb/vbr change on codec change.

SET abr/cbr/vbr AS last one option before encoding

i can assure that launching encoding don't change audio parameters

BHH

Havokdan

9th June 2009, 11:38

Even in this version the problem persists, do as you stated, but the line that goes to the queue that is (I imagine that would be -abr instead -cbr of this line):

"E: \ HDConvertToX \ applications \ wavi.exe" "E: \ HDConvertToX \ temp \ video_mkv \ hdconvert_audio_0_video.mkv.avs" - | "E: \ HDConvertToX \ applications \ lame.exe" - - cbr-b 128 " E: \ HDConvertToX \ temp \ video_mkv \ hdencodertox-pid2.mp3 "

Decided convert to cbr, which is working well.
My goal now is to make the option eac3to function to convert audio, only had a time that worked here, but do not remember version was, Thanks for the help.

O.O , thanks.
But SAP does not provide support for mp3 abr / vbr? My dvd player for 2004 ($ 20) supports this profile.
I doubt if you can get one, is not exactly on the HDC, but you know that the command xvid_encraw I can use to change the FourCC of the file or if the HDC can do it, I want to use the Divx5 FourCC?

buzzqw

9th June 2009, 12:58

not always... for guarantee compatibility is better a cbr approach

if you know that your SAP support vbr/abr.. use it

if you redownload HDC i will no more force CBR on SAP, if user have selected NOT CBR

Hey Buzzqw,
Thought you might be interested in a MT version of FFMPEGSource. Since your program uses it from time to time, and it offers frame accurate seeking, you may want to give this version a spin. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1292966#post1292966

Just something to think about if you are interested.

Edit: Hold up, there seem to be a few minor bugs right now. Wait for a slightly more stable version to come out.
Edit2: Okay, the bug seems to be central to my clip. You may be safe.

update HDC 1.8.340.3020

>added smart SAR: if HDC detects PAL 16:9 SD or NTSC 16:9 SD (usually DVD source) and your output resolution is 720x576-704x576 (for pal) or 720x480-704x480 (for ntsc) proper --sar value will be added to x264 command line (idea taken from RipBot264, Thanks Atak!)
>fixed now hdc will not silently switch to lame CBR when SAP is checked
>added support for avchd and bluray muxing, avaiable only for x264 codec
>added support for copy chapters when encoding in bluray or avchd
>fixed force ffmpeg.exe audio. Now it will process not only the first audio track
>fixed force directshowsource. Now it will process only the first audio track
>fixed mpeg1 input file. Since eac3to is unable to process it correctly, now hdc will force ffmpeg.exe decoding
>fixed mkvextract will no more look for mkvextract in applications folder. You must install MKVToolnix
>other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes

Feature Request:

When you activate the option multitemp to file .ini, which had the option(in .ini) to delete temporary files of them,so to start the conversion of another file, is it possible?

buzzqw

multitemp and delete temporary files.. are a non-sense
or you want keep temporary file, and so activate multitemp OR want delete temporary files, and so don't use multitemp...

buzzqw

10th June 2009, 14:03

For example, put in the queue the conversion of 5 files, mkv> avi (conversion type that most often do), I wanted to delete the temporary file already converted so that the end of a conversion of files, of course I do not I want you to leave this option enabled by default, but so that the user activate it for the archive .ini .

I'm using online translator, so it may be difficult to understand(I read better than write english :) ).

sorry pal, but you don't have to use multitemp EVEN if you encode more then one file.
I don't understand why you want to use multitemp IF you want to delete temporary files :(

Is is possible to use this program like MakeMKV? that is, just take, say, a DVD and put it in MKV format without changing video or audio characterisitcs? I am new at trying this stuff.

first of all dvd must be ripped (or anydvd should run in backgroud), then you can point to fvideo_ts.ifo and HDC will load automatically the movie..
then you can tune hdc to your taste (resolution/codec...)

HDC isn't so automatized as makemkv

BHH

Havokdan

10th June 2009, 14:37

Okay, but at least you can add the option to delete temporary files automatically after completion of the conversion in the file. Ini (forget the part about Multitemp)?

Hi buzz,

Sorry for bringing StaxRip up once more, but could you also implement these great features for 2-pass encoding please ?

Staxrip removes the following from the 1st pass (because they have no real value to be used in the 1st pass) :

Remove from preceding passes :
--ref --mixed-refs --subme --trellis --partitions --me --8x8dct --no-fast-pskip

Add to preceding passes :
--subme 2 --partitions none --me dia

Could you think about this please ? This could speed up the 1st pass considerably without degrading encoding quality.:cool:

P.S. Is it possible to change the first post to get us to the newest version ?
update HDC 1.8.340.3020

buzzqw

10th June 2009, 15:31

HDC already do some optimization...

it removes/modify from first pass
partitions
8x8dct
trellis to 0
ref to 1
subme to 2
me XXX to me dia

i wil check if is safer to remove mixed-ref too

BHH

nice program....when one loads in the ifo from DVD, under the audio tab you can choose AC3. Can you jsut COPy the original AC3 without any re-encoding or is re-encoding a must?

buzzqw

10th June 2009, 16:26

if you select as audio codec "AC3 Audio" you will reencode audio
if you select "Copy audio" you will.. copy the audio stream , and so will be muxed without reencoding :)

BHH

microchip8

10th June 2009, 16:42

it is safe, since mixed-ref requires more than 1 reference frame. you only use ref 1 in your first pass

you must select Copy Video, otherwise HDC will convert it

BHH

ron spencer

10th June 2009, 19:37

thanks...i notice that if I choose copy video, the box on top of it (Encode Using) is still selectable. Should it not be grayed out if you are copying video and not encoding anything? Also, when encoding is finished and all CMD windows are closed, it still says Encoding in the bottom of your GUI.

buzzqw

10th June 2009, 19:50

when you start encoding HDC have NO more control of what is happening. and so.. hdc don't know when all job/encoding is finished

hdc will know that you hit start, but don't know when it finish

about greyed with copy wideo : i will check it, but don't warry, on copy video all other settings are ignored

One more suggestion, I replace their home xvid theather the profile that comes in MeGUi that is:

kboost-100-ostrength 10-oimprove 10-odegrade 10-chigh 30-Clow 15-overhead 0-vbvmax 4854000-vbvsize 3145728-vbvpeak 2359296-turbo-max_key_interval 250-vhqmode 4-quality 6-closed_gop-imino lumimasking-1-pmin 1-max_bframes 1-bvhq-bquant_ratio 162-bquant_offset 0-bmin 1

similar, but some things XD.

Now I have to return to a topic, as I have a 1st pass with different configurations of the second through the file HDConvertToX_profile.txt? I know I already touched on this subject with you, but here is the 1st step in the same speed of the 2nd step, while in Virtualdub I change the settings of the 1st step, and up to 3 times faster, is it possible?

11th June 2009, 13:10

Buzz I tried doing some dvd video. I set deinterlace filter to automatic and it did not deinterlace. I chose interlaced and this time it did it. Should'nt the automatic pick that up?

Some thoughts for the queue. I am a noob so cant even dare to touch the queue since I dont know what I am doing. I simply add to the queue and dont edit it in any form. Like automkv can you show 1 line for noobs and detailed for advanced users. I request this as when I make a mistake with some ten files to add to the queue I seem to second guess myself and start all over again. Would be easier if I only need to delete one line for easy access and usability requirement.

Secondly the biggest mistake I seem to make is naming two items the same in the queue for output. Set up all settings and forget changing the name for the output file and now have a second item in the queue(different video) same filename. I usually use different physical hard drive so that my hard drives arent getting worked up, also most commonly space constraints. Read from one drive and write to separate drive. Now I could keep moving the HDC folder to keep changing my default folder which saves me naming my output as you said but its not practical. I dont have to explain this to you but I suppose I am so that you can consider providing a default location with settings output file names.
thanks

Can you elaborate on this please. I have some dvd's which are interlaced as per media info. Some have top field first and some have bottom field first. How do you suggest I tackle this? Are you saying I should use another package like automkv for this?

it's in todo list, but a "job" is composed by more then 1 line... isn't easy to remove a single job...

That is what I was saying. For us noobs it would be really good if we have a delete job like automkv

that's way i never specify the output file name :) (and so hdc will create one)

Will explorer this

Originally I asked you what settings I should use for quality and you advised

select the 1 pass quality , with the preset "extreme quality", and be surprised
Can I check what CRF value I use?
thanks

Build: 1.8.354.3062. I am transcoding a DVD that has n LPCM audio track into MKV(x264). I've chosen "Copy Audio". Here is the EAC3To line from the .BAT

post the make report

EDIT: also redownload the hdc update (and retry encoding)

Can you elaborate on this please. I have some dvd's which are interlaced as per media info. Some have top field first and some have bottom field first. How do you suggest I tackle this? Are you saying I should use another package like automkv for this?

just use Test Deinterlace before encoding, and set deinterlace in accord to test report

That is what I was saying. For us noobs it would be really good if we have a delete job like automkv

not easy...

just use 19 (or 20)

buzzqw I am somewhat confused by autotitle. I switched autotitle on because I was trying to get the files tagged correctly. Instead the file name that is produced know is hdconverttox_full_fullvideo.mkv. Sort of far from what I expected.

When this is the make report how come autotitle is creating this name ?

I have a AR issue. I fed a DVD video to HDC "crop obey to AR" unticked and it had some values for crop but this changes wildly if you tick crop obey AR.

Even if you manually set the crop using visual crop the Resizing/resolution does not accommodate the new manual visual crop? For eg. I fed dvd video 704x480 4:3 video full screen so should not have any crop and ticked crop obey AR. It picked top/bottom =0 and left/right = 32 so now I have Resizing/resolution set after analyze to 640x528.

1. Why does it pick height greater than current video height even though I chose obey AR?
When I manually set left/right = 0 the Resizing/resolution changed to 640x480 which is 4:3 I suppose but why the change in width? For me a headscratcher.

2. When copy AR is unticked it picks right top/bottom and left/right = 0 which is correct for this video but now the Resizing/resolution is 704x528

Ok did some more testing

Pick video>analyse
Crop obey to Ar ticked
4:3 video
Res: 704x480
Top/Bottom: 0
Left/Right: 32
Resizing/Resolution: Video comes up 640 x 528

edit directly in in HDC window remove right or left 32 it Resizing/Resolution: now 640 x 496

edit directly in in HDC window remove the other right or left 32(both left and rightnow 0)Resizing/Resolution: now 640 x 480

Same video
Pick video>analyse
Crop obey to Ar ticked
4:3 video
Res: 704x480
Top/Bottom: 0
Left/Right: 32
Resizing/Resolution: Video comes up 640 x 528

This time I click on Visual crop and change both left and right to 0 and the accept and close the visual crop window
Resizing/Resolution: Video still remains 640 x 528.

So I assume HDC is not adjusting as per visual crop

This is first problem.

Second issue is when I remove one of the 32 from left or right it changes from 528 to 496 H which is difference 32, but when I remove second it only adjusts it from 496 to 480 which is a difference of 16. I am not saying this is wrong. I dont know if this is wrong so thought I ring it up

thanks

Hey Buzz it's me again. Still having some strange issues trying to convert my DVD's.. I have a complete DVD collection of the original Twilight Zone series I'm trying to convert. I tried every possible combination of Deinterlace filters and none of them will make a working encode. The file is made and of normal size, but playback shows a black screen for video.

This is the Deint Analysis of the sample vob:

Source is declared tff by a margin of 889/12.
Analyzed 2535 sections of five frames
Found Interlace Sections: 930 36.69%
Found progressive Sections:225 8.88%
Found Telecined Sections: 1380 54.44%
Found Zero Mov: 8.88% 225
Found One Mov: 6.86% 174
Found Two Mov: 54.44% 1380
Found Three Mov: 2.05% 52
Found Four Mov: 2.01% 51
Found Five Comb: 25.76% 653

HDC will simply not work with these DVD's and I have had this same problem with several other movies. From what this shows, the Deint method should be mixed Interlaced/Telecine, which will not work. At least that's the way I interpret the results.. This is the make report for the sample file:

Oddly enough, AutoMKV makes perfect encodes of them, and declares them Telecine after Deint analysis.

I am totally stumped... Got any ideas? I can send you a 50 meg sample to examine if you wish. Thanks for all your help.

I have a AR issue. I fed a DVD video to HDC "crop obey to AR" unticked and it had some values for crop but this changes wildly if you tick crop obey AR. ..........

Don't use Obey AR.

My recommendation for for DVD backup:
- Tick No Resize & Crop
- Tick Anamorphic Shape
OR
- Don't tick anything. HDC will normally crop and resize correctly.
(You may want to verify the correct cropping by pressing Visual Crop, as auto cropping can fail in exceptional cases).

If you still get a visual distorted picture during playback you may upload a sample clip.

You may also want to google for cropping, resizing, anamorphic encoding etc. to find an answer to your "whys".

Added:
When you do some changes you may sometimes have to point and click the slider of the resizer (without moving it) in order to get the values updated.

If you want to use "Crop obey to AR" for some reason you have to tick / untick it BEFORE "Analyze File". Every time you change its status you would have to repeat the "Analyze file".

autotitle don't work with file remuxed in mkv (fullvideo)

I have a AR issue. I fed a DVD video to HDC "crop obey to AR" unticked and it had some values for crop but this changes wildly if you tick crop obey AR.

don't use crop obey to ar (almost never)

So I assume HDC is not adjusting as per visual crop

When I do a Compression Test HDC extracts the video, audio, subs, indexes the video, then does the compression test. All ok so far.
When I now start the real encode, all extractions and indexing are repeated, although all required files are already available in the workfolder from the preceding compression test.
It's not a bug, but could the duplication of file extraction be avoided in this case? It would just save some time.

I am encoding mpeg 2 video with mp3 audio inside, there is no reason to encode audio again.

I ask for the HDC save the file as follows: C:\Movies\Movie.avi, but he ends up being saved as C:\HDC\hdcfullmovie_Movie.avi

In this example, Default Output Folder = C:\HDC\

Also I made some more mistakes and ended up with videos with wrong AR. I deleted the originals thinking they were done right. Anyway is there a quick way without reencoding to fix the AR so that my PC displys them at the right AR?

How do I do this in HDC? The subtitle tab only allows me to select subtitles found in the input file. HDC can see the subtitle in the .ts file, but it ignores it:

reopen mkv with mkvmerge (mmg.exe) and force AR , then remux

buzzqw, the save file option is not working with me, I do not know if it is because I set a folder as the default output
thanks fixed, redownload HDC

Is there any way to re-mux the temp folder without having to redo the whole process? I've tried avi mux but it won't start up, "The program encountered a problem and will close now".

just launch avidemux from \applications folder and drag&drop \temp files

Until now I have been using AutoMKV and ProjectX to convert DVB transport streams. With AutoMKV I can select the idx/sub produced when I demux the .ts with ProjectX

eac3to is able to detect subs in ts, BUT is unable to extract it.

i will look if possibile to add projectx support

Just wondering for mp3 audo compression using LAME, where you can add the command -h (or even better -q 0). Doing so uses a higher quality algorithm at no more bitrate, just a slight drop in speed. -h is the same as using -q 2

Stupidly enough, if you run the command:
lame --longhelp

You can see the default is '-q 5', and yet '-q 2' is the recommended! I'd prefer the option to be just flat '-q 0', as on modern processors there's very little difference in speed between -q 0 and the default -q 5.

Is it bug?
I use hdc 1.8.360.3097, try to encode DVD using manual crop. I press "visual crop" -> "shuffle" but frames are still the same!
I try another DVD for test - the same behaviour.

a make report could help

Shall do that soon. But heres something interesting.
Original Video as per HDC and media info
704x480

Converted video but without No resize & crop(unticked) and visual crop all sides = 0
704x528 was the result and therefore the AR looked weird. Fortunately I was able to recover original vobs.

I input the video hit analyse

Even though the Resolution shows up as 704x480. Manually set width and height automatically populates with 704x528. Then if I tick No resize & crop it changes to 704x480 and stays like that even if the tick is now removed?? So a bug I guess.

EDIT: Oh and this could explain all my problems in relation to resizing. Just for the sake say I have a DVD which needed 20 crop from the right it now shows 704x544. I added 20 so how did it come to 544? I am a bit confused. I am no good at this but wanted to ask how does exactly work considering the actual resolution of the video is 704x480? Even clicking on visual crop does not fix the issue.

Hi

I have tried reencode an M2TS file from my Panasonic HDC-SD100. Camcorder takes video streams in 1080i. However - doesnt matter which deinterlace filter I use - it always makes final output movie blocking on areas where were interlace waves.

I also tried shoot in DC mode, when camcorder work in 25p. This output is progressive when playing directly an M2TS file on computer. But when trying reencode e.g. to MKV with x264 - it makes same blocking errors like it was 1080i. Its seems camcorder is able to shoot in 1080p25, but encapsulating it into 1080i50.

Is there any idea how to achieve deinterlaced output (MKV, AVI)?

Thanks for reply.

However when reencoding both - behaving interlaced, using interlace filters forcing blocking.

Hello all:cool: been a year without encoding, thanks to vista.

Compression test gave me the result 96MB at full video size & optimal quality, I guess this means 720x576 for PAL input and 100% quality compared to automkv?

so, 720 x 576 = 414720pixels
my res. for this will be 640x368=235520pixels
235520/414720=0,568
and the quality would be 75%
-> 0,568x0,75x96MB=41MB for video

Is my calculation correct?
And BTW, does this function in vista/w7?

Because the test is done with single pass used, how would you estimate the 2-pass to reduce the final size for video, (like factor 0,8)

buzzqw

15th June 2009, 19:25

remember that height is computed by:

dar = ((full_width-crop_left-crop_right)/full_widthl)/((full_heightl-crop_top-crop_bottom)/full_height)*aspect_ratio*itu

height= width/dar

and 704x528=ar of 1.3333

if you crop 20 from rigth you should got an ar of 1.2964 giving a 708x544 size

don't know.. but should be ok

Because the test is done with single pass used, how would you estimate the 2-pass to reduce the final size for video, (like factor 0,8)
just try the crf+1 pass encoding

Hi

I have tried reencode an M2TS file from my Panasonic HDC-SD100. Camcorder takes video streams in 1080i. However - doesnt matter which deinterlace filter I use - it always makes final output movie blocking on areas where were interlace waves.

BTW - HDConvertTox analyzing streams by mistake - instead 1920x1080, its displays 1920x1440

about resolution: on my pc you sample is correctly 1920x1080, please check your ffdshow settings (maybe you are using some resizing filters)

about deinterlace: isn't a problem of deinterlace!
yes , your sample is interlaced and you must use Interlaced filters, but the blocky is due to decoding problems of dgavcdec!

please try "Force DirectShowSource" (or DirectShowSource2 if you have haali media splitter installed)

you can check my encoding: http://www.64k.it/andres/data/Varie/hdconverttox_full_00050.mkv (just a very basic encoding)

BHH

ProjectX support does not help unless the colour table to be used when extracting the subtitles can be specified. This is necessary because different TV stations use different colour tables for their subtitles, and I am constantly switching the tables to get usable subtitles.

Alternatively one could manually load the idx/sub files.

hdc will always compute height, regardless of no crop.

if you want NO resize, use the "NO resize and crop" check

however i will look at this.. but from my simple test the difference, in speed, between -q 5 and -q 0 is significative

what about -q 3 ( "In medio stat virtus" ) ?

Small problem here: I save default settings with Audio: Nero AAC, 0.4 quality, original nr. of channels, vbr.
After I restart program, everything is OK.
Then I open an avi file and I choose to not muk in mkv
After that, the Audio settings change in: MP3 Audio, Audio Channels 2, but it remains Nero Quality 0.4 and vbr

.... my main development pc is a virtual windows xp on fedora..... i cant add it directly since i have no clue how it works (even if i own a nvidia 9600gt and have the license for Neuron2 NV tools)

If direct import of DG...IndexNV files (.dgm, .dga, .dgv) is not possible, could it be done via an .avs script, like:
loadplugin("C:\xxxx\xxxx\DGmpegdecNV\DGDecodeNV.dll")
DGSource("C:\xxx\xxxx\Test_Movie\VTS_01_1.dgm")?
Such scrips are automatically generated by the DG..NV tools using its template.avs feature.

There seems to be a bug by using the feature "Embed Subtitel in Videostream".

In the produced scriptfile hdconverttox_vts_01_1.avs is the following line added:

VobSub("C:\Users\oliver\Desktop\HDConvertToX_1.8.332.2935\temp\hdencodertox__subs_21.idx")

Encoding doesnt work cause the "hdencodertox__subs_21.idx" isnt found, because VSrip is producing only files that are named hdc_subs.*.

Videostream is only an errormessage pointing to the missing file.

If I edit the scriptfile and changing the VobSub-Line from "hdencodertox__subs_21.idx" to "hdc_subs.idx" it works as intended

Hope this helped

thx buzzqw,

its ok now. :thanks:

There is another thing.

Because the 2passprocessing of eac3to.exe on extracting audio from vob can cause some lipsyncprobs ( http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=125966&highlight=no2ndpass&page=441 )
madshi has make a undokumented switch "-no2ndpass" to disable the 2nd process.

Is there a chance that you implement this feature as option also in your audio-tab.

Adding this option manuel to the commandline is ok, too
Just a question of comfort :)

i think this option is only when demuxing and leave the audio untouched (imo, copy)

I need help with DVD rip.
After rip hdc made for me file myFilm.mp4, but when I ran the film for view I saw the video and audio were unsynchronized.
I went to HDC temp folder and saw standalone video and audio track length.
The video length was 2h:50min:33sec
The audio lenth was 2h:50min:33sec:27sec
But HDC doesn't have any ability to set audio delay...

Thanks for looking into it. Would be nice to have, but just in case it doesn't prove to be too difficult and time consuming.

DGdecodeNV.dll is neuron2's recent universal decoder which can decode mpeg-2, AVC and VC-1 as far as I understand.
The .dgm, .dga or dgv index files as well as the .avs would be generated independently and external to HDC using neuron2' tools.
The remaining point could be how to include the audio files (assuming that the demuxed audio files have already been extracted external to HDC and are available).

gday buzz

a new problem came up with dgindex (no video sequence header found) and then something like (No data. Check your PIDS)

"H:\HDConvertToX_1.8.332.2935\applications\eac3to.exe" "h:\original shooter\shooter\bdmv\stream\00003.m2ts" 1:"H:\HDConvertToX_1.8.332.2935\temp\hdconverttox.m2v"

any ideas?

cheers :)

is hdconverttox.m2v extracted ?
if you open manually dgindex and point as input the m2v it works ?

is hdconverttox.m2v extracted ?
if you open manually dgindex and point as input the m2v it works ?

the m2v file created had size of 0 bytes
i played around a bit, tried different settings. forced ffmpegsource and it started working (tho i did notice it created a "00003.m2ts.ffindex" file in the source folder)

strange thing now is x264 reporting 92262 frames to encode (just over 1 hour @ 23.98fps) yet aec3to says "video track 2 contains 180816 frames" and mediainfo says 2h 5min..

strange things???

added:

checked m2v file, it just has chapter info. is that right?? no, dgindex comes up with same problem when pointed at it manually.
i notice it says its an mpeg video in the m2ts, thats the first time ive seen that. is that unusual (it is for me so far with bluray content)

zygo

21st June 2009, 09:54

also, chapters now shows up in the "Audio Tracks" menu as item 1.
is that new?? why does it then try to extract them to an "ac3" file with eac3to?? (see above queue and it has happened on the next bluray ive loaded as well)

no worries, my current encode has another 34 hours to run so ill try it then.

what happens if i edit the batch file thats currently running (can i???). otherwise i can see it is going to try and mux in the "chapters/ac3" file that was created wrongly quite a few hours ago???

also, for any1 running windows7 64bit edition, the java.com site automaticly installs the WRONG version of java on your system. this makes the java lines in the hdc batch file fail (subtitle conversion)
you have to manually download the 64bit version of java and install it over the top (then the java calls work again)

cheers :)

have you copyed audio or encoded ?

BHH
I have encoded. I did some work. The problem is here:
manulaly extracted ac3 audio by DGIndex.exe is 2:50:33 length- ok,
wav audio extracted by eac3to.exe is 2:50:27 length - wrong

Another issue. I have found HDConvertToX_profile.txt in the root of HDC folder and in "applications" folder. The content of these two files is not equals. But it is not the high spot;-)
All x264 profiles in HDConvertToX_profile.txt from the root HDC folder (and only this file is used I think) have psy-rd switch
but "X264;7;Extreme Quality" doesn't have!! Often I use this profile and suppose I get some quality regressions without psychovisual optimization enabled.

Another question @buzzqw. Why do you use in HDC experimental kAVAQ x264 build)?

buzzqw

21st June 2009, 14:56

extreme quality don't use trellis, and psy-rd requires trellis...
about kAVAQ build: i like it, it gives in crf encoding very good results

21st June 2009, 21:22

I just tried using your program last night. It looks really great and I love the features, but I have 1 problem... Where is the output??

I tried feeding it "A bugs life" & "Ratatoullie" BRs ripped by MakeMKV into an MKV with 1080p AVC video, DTS-MA & subs. I set it to transcode audio only to FLAC.

It ran through the FLAC encode then make a sword-like schwing sound the CLI closed and there were no error messages or output files.

I tried looking for a logfile in the program but couldn't find one.

I assume I'm doing something wrong, but I looked through your manual and wasn't finding it of much use with this issue. I also used the search function on this thread. It looked like I did everything correctly... but I dunno.

Thanks for what looks like a very promising program and help in advance!

@Karkas: "Make Report" would be helpfull! ;)

Was conversion succesfull?
Did you select path and name under "Save File ..."?
Did you check your work folder and program folder?

@Karkas: "Make Report" would be helpfull! ;)
Go to: Advanced Options > Utilities > Make Report :rolleyes:I must have overlooked that in the options... thanks!

Was conversion succesfull?I dont know. It never gave me a message saying that it was sucessfull, just reached the end of the audio encode, gave the sound then the cmd prompt closed out. Never saw a message it was remuxing video & audio back into MKV.

Did you select path and name under "Save File ..."?Yes, and the file was definately not there. Even tried twice by saving to different folder.

Did you check your work folder and program folder? I did check the temp folder (I think it was called) and the flac file was there and playable.

Sorry, I'm a tad fuzzy on the details & names as I am currently at work and away from my computer.

22nd June 2009, 13:56

BHH, I have a feature request:

I have many MKVs with MPEG2/AC3 that I have created in the past. Now, I'd like to transcode them to AVC/MKV. All of my testing is successful except chapters extraction. Apparently HDC does not recognize the chapters in the MKV. I can use MKVExtract to get them myself and mux at the end, but it would be nice for HDC to handle this scenario.

Thanks.

buzzqw

22nd June 2009, 14:33

please noee, send me a sample (50mb) with your mpeg/ac3+chapter

EDIT: no need. i have replicate the issue.
the problem is due to eac3to not able to detect/extract chapter from mkv

i will look further

Just comparing resizing and wondering if you know where the difference comes from. The below files info is from mediainfo I have used autocrop in Megui without anamorphic option and have done the same in HDC but the results are greatly different. Curious Why?

The original files resolution is 720x480 Megui cropped to ( 34, 0, -32, -2) resolution LanczosResize(656,480) and HDC LanczosResize(512,336,0,0,-0,-0) and asxgui Lanczos4resize(656,496).

hdc haven't detect crop.. so the ar is different, and resolution too

if hdc wasn't able to detect crop, manual put 34, 0, -32, -2 and see what resolution hdc propose

also, try saying NO at mkv muxing

BHH

flebber

22nd June 2009, 16:01

When selecting no it did detect crop. It gave values of (640,464,40,8,-40,-8). Which definitely brings it closer to the other results. It seems to be overcropping a bit but I can always check this in visual crop :)

Glad to know now what I was doing wrong previously to get that strange result. The values I got from the visual crop were ( 34, 0, -34, -2).

buzzqw

22nd June 2009, 16:09

with your cropping values, the ar should be similar and more near to 4/3.

i am sorry about forcing/not forcing mkv muxing, BUT you can follow this simply rules:

- if your video file has more then one audio streams, allow mux in mkv, otherwise say no to mux

Goldwave said 2 channels.

Cant understand what I should believe

Also how to make sure temp files are deleted
contents of temp folder after encode except for log files?

that's a 5.1 AAC SBR encode
not all application are able to decode the full channels spectrum

if you want not SBR you should rise bitrate or quality of audio

That does seem to be a bug, as he included x264.exe in the applications folder.

Another is that .avi doesn't seem to be on the accepted files list. And it muxes my avi to mkv as soon as I select it! Is this the desired behavior

yes, it's intended, BUT you can say NO to muxing (when hdc ask about)

if you click YES: you will be allowed to select more then 1 audio tracks, otherwise, if you select NO, you will be forced to select only the first audio track

buzzqw, the Archos 605 (and the 5) can benefit from a much better setting. This is the maximum setting (not the most sane) playable on the 605 and the 5.

Did some videos last night came out perfect with telecine from 29 to 23 fps. This morning did some more. Must have ticked something I was not supposed to.
Cant figure it out but all videos encoded this morning came out with lenthy video. Eg: video/audio length before encode 2.23/2.23. After encode 2.59/2.23 length. So audio seems fine while video was extended??
thanks

post the avs, anyway.. if you select a wrong deinterlacer.. i cannot help

buzzqw

Queue doesn't work when there are multiple encode each with different settings in the "free avs string" or change in avisynth filters.
queue works, BUT if you use the same input file, HDC will create the same script, overwriting the previus generated.
you should use different input name

I finally found out why HDC was putting a green frame at the beginning of every video. The culprit was MT avisynth. If you don't use MT, there will not be a green frame added to the beginning of the video.

BTW, the "use multithreaded avisynth" box doesn't work. It will always use MT if you have MT.dll in system32.

buzzqw

25th June 2009, 14:34

i never got this green frame, and i use mt always

maybe related to other filters you use ? or decoder ?

I striped avisynth lines and filters one by one, then tried it on virtual dub, I removed almost all of the filters and imports. Then I got frustrated, took out MT avisynth mode, then green frame is gone.

I'm using eac3to, on ffdshow build 3013 (or something like that)

buzzqw

25th June 2009, 14:55

so.. edit your hdconverttox.ini and set "Force AviSynth MT=0"

Question: How do you load a queue.bat for me to start later?
when queue is started queue.bat is created, and then in no more editable by hdc

if you want start it later.. simply launch queue.bat later

for temp folder there is a option in hdconverttox.ini, but isn't recommend since it will empty all files in temp folder

I think i've found the problem.
I do not know why, but KasperskyInternetSecurity2010, make skip the encode video.
After dgindex, passes directly to the avimuxgui, freezing it.
Now I must find the solution to this problem.

if you want start it later.. simply launch queue.bat later

I saved queue.bat. Needed a PC restart to start fresh say and then double clicked on queue.bat and nothing. I might have started HDC before I did this. Does that make a new queue.bat in the same folder?

for temp folder there is a option in hdconverttox.ini, but isn't recommend since it will empty all files in temp folder

Why is it not recommended?

Hi All!

I'm new to HDConvertToX but have used AutoMKV before and REALLY appreciate the effort that goes into simplifying the conversion process - many thanks!

Just tried setting up HDConvertToX and analyzing a file and got the error message "filter graph manager won't talk to me". I have the K-lite codec pack installed on the computer and, since it had the required accessory programs (and I already had AVISynth installed), that I wouldn't need the separate installs - guess not. Once I uninstalled the K-lite pack and AVISynth, then (after reboot and registry cleanup) reinstalled AVISynth, ffdshow and haali media splitter, HDConvertToX now analyzes files properly! Should I conclude that there are version compatability issues between the same programs in the K-lite pack and what HDConvertToX needs? Is it simply a setting somewhere or can the K-lite pack not be installed??

Secondly, I followed Adub's guide for backing up movies and the queue initiated fine and completed eac3to audio conversion and, apparently, the first x264 pass. However, the DOS screen says 100% complete after the first pass but nothing else is happening (I have a *.h264 file, but the second pass hasn't initiated). The system isn't frozen (I'm using it now) but nothing has happened in the DOS window for several hours (and no CPU usage). The process should go to completion, correct? Did I miss something, or is there a way to initiate the next steps?

Here is the DOS window log (in case that helps):

@sfcav: I have K-lite mega codec pack intalled too and I didn't uninstall it - just installed new ffdshow, halli and avisynth (with MT support).

I have no problems with dvd encoding, but recently I tried to encode more HD movies and I had analyzing problems with all of them... but I think I have something wrong in options, because some time ago I successfully encoded few HD movies in HDC! ツ

Thanks for the comments feanor12 - nice to know it may well be possible to use K-lite (lets me play everything).

As an update to the conversion, I updated to the most current version (1.9.403.3232) shut down the computer, then rebooted and tried again, but encoding stopped at the same place (completed the audio and went on to the video, but stalled at the end of the first pass). When I updated, I also initially deleted the HDConvertToX_profile.txt file, but HDDonvertToX wouldn't start properly until I restored the file.

Note also that I moved the HDConvertToX folder after runing the program once - when is the profile file created and could moving the folder have caused an issue?

The last line reported was:

[100.0%] 109870/109879 frames, 13.52 fps, 7344.43 kb/s, eta 0:00:00

But after that nothing happened.

I remain confused!

@sfcav
it's not a problem of hdc but of x264.exe

please try upgrading with this : http://techouse.project357.com/builds/x264_x86_r1173_techouse.7z , just substitute x264.exe with this one

_________________

Thanks for the suggestion buzzqw!

I upgraded and replaced the x264.exe file and tried again, to the same conclusion - the audio completes and the first pass x264 encode appears to go to completion (last line in the cmd window is "[100.0%] 109870/109879 frames, 13.87 fps, 7867.14 kb/s, eta 0:00:00" and an appropriately-sized *.h264 file is written to the temp folder), but then nothing elso happens (cmd window stays open and no other commands initiate).

In case it matters, this is a 1080p mpeg2 m2ts file. I'll try another file (as well as an AVC file), but any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Also, two related questions:

I. After analyzing the file there are 2 audio tracks listed under the "Audio" tab (as well as "none"), but there are actually 3 in the file (visiable with MediaInfo and in the cmd window when eac3to starts working with the file:
1: MPEG2, 1080p24 /1.001 (16:9)\
2: AC3, 2.0 channels, 384kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
3: AC3, 5.1 channels, 448kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
4: AC3, 2.0 channels, 384kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27dB
Is that normal?

II. How should I abort a run (ctl+C in the cmd window)? So far, when the run halts after completing the first encoding pass, I've been simply closing the cmd window.

sfcav
______________________________________________________________________

Update - I was able to get a different mpeg2 file to process completely (worked great!), which makes me think that there is something odd with my first file. Both are mpeg2 files - the one that completed is a 1080i captured mpg file, whereas the one that hung after the first pass is a 1080p m2ts file (all the encoding parameters were the same). Should that matter (I can past MediaInfo data if helpful)?

Congratulations on your latest application ... double refined to the needs of HD.

I'm busy encoding the CNN Cold War series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_War_(TV_series)) (mostly B & W) from PAL DVD.
It was produced at 24 fps but released at 25.
I like to return my movies to their original splendour ... which includes the framerate (where possible).

An option to to assume 23.976 fps (both audio and video automatically) would be welcome.
:thanks: much !

It's all good

Congrats on the twins buddy. Life is not gonna be the same for you if you did not have kids before.

On the HDC front mate gotta tell you something is wrong. It definitely overcrops picture front top and bottom, so basically what it shows in visual crop does not come out that way when encoded. I saw both pictures side by side. Looks also that the picture AR is wrong(stretched vertically would post a screenshot but dont know what to use to get screens for dvd vs mkv.

Also for each movie I am doing a 5% interlace filter tests. Some are not deterimined because they are telecine and interlaced some are telecine and some interlaced. Cane you confirm if I am right using the filters as below?

For
1. telecine and interlaced(mixed telecine/interlaced)
2. telecine(telecine)
3. interlace(interlaced)

Why does HDC not do a test automatically rather than a manual test which is needed?

@sfcav

is substituting x264 won't solve the issue, i suppose a problem of decoder, try updating ffdshow/dgindex..

and yes , you can use ctrl+c to stop encoding BUT not for stopping batch

@delacroixp
use the free avs string for video
and use eac3to with slowdown for audio

@Mrsash

remember to use even the preview when you think autocrop is wrong

wrong crop.. wrong ar

the deinterlace routine try to suggest the better approach.. but with mixed pattern you can always be wrong
your better approach could be to use mixed telecine/interlace or to use "Interlace HQ" (only if you think that framere rate should be kept at 29.97)

BHH

Checked the preview the same settings and the picture is perfect. However after encode picture is cropped excessively and stretched vertically to form the right AR. So not only is it zoomed in but people look vertically stretched! I can post sceenshots. what program do I use to do so(screenshots)?

Update: Ok found something interesting. I did sample of the video file 1 pass Crf 18 and it came out the right AR, no cropping etc, basically perfect.

Now the enitre movie was done 2 pass 1460 size and Nero CBR 96 orginal. I did not touch the crop(I kept the same crop settings). In this case the movie had bad AR and stretched etc. So the problem is 2 pass??

I am considering "Crop Obey to AR". what does this exactly. This is what the manual says but make no sense to me "Crop obey to AR is for forcing autocrop detection to respect while cropping the original AR of video". You advised in previous post dont tick this. Any particular reason?

So all in all what should I do?

So all in all what should I do?
Reading through your past posts you appear to be permanently at war with the AR. Make sure that your playback device does not introduce the AR distortion due to wrong settings. What is your playback device?
Why don't you finally upload a short clip of your source so that someone may give you advice?

Buzz, you just can't leave the encoder guis alone, can you??

I tried to rip a BD disk to HDD to watch later with MakeMKV. however, the disk has unusual audio, 3-channel LPCM, which the MakeMKV can't handle properly. So I checked out what else is there and found your new project..

I tried to do straight pack-to-mkv conversion here with original audio, original video. Basically what makemkv does. However, the audio gets dropped along the way. I also saw a message in the command line window about problematic >2GB wav file.. (It'd be useful if the text on the window got saved..)

It is saved in the temp directory. Look in the temp directory for a log file concerning Stdout (I believe) in this case. Should have a detailed description from eac3to.

@buzzqw
If substituting x264 won't solve the issue, i suppose a problem of decoder, try updating ffdshow/dgindex.
_____________________________________________________-

Thanks buzzqw:

I updated ffdshow from 2946 to 3013 and DGIndex from 1.5.4 to 1.5.5 and tried again - same result (processing halts after 1st encoding pass, leaving the cmd window open, the command line at 100% completion, the cursor flashing, but no new command line or DOS prompt).

Next, I tried simplifying the file by removing unnecessary audio using tsMuxeR and then creating a 10 min segment using TSPE. When loaded into HDConvertToX, I get the same result (halts after first encoding pass).

Three other things I tried were:
1. Copying the video and audio (no re-encoding) using HDConvertToX
- seemed to process normally (cmd window came and went), but no file was written

2. Copy video and convert audio using HDConvertToX
- same as (1) above, processed normally but no file was written.

3. Load the video into VideoReDo
- wouldn't load (no PIDs found, even though I set it to ignore stream info)?

NOTE - No doubt I should have mentioned this before, but this is an animation file (old cartoon movie remastered to 1080p24) - is that perhaps the issue (and is there a way to address)?

Here is the MediaInfo output for the edited file - anything odd here?

In addition to my earlier bug report (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1300398#post1300398) (in case you didn't see it), I noticed that there seems to be an issue when selecting "automatic" from the deinterlacer drop down.

My log is below, but in short, I select a test .vob file, select my settings, including the "automatic" setting, and everything completes successfully. Only issue is, the framerate should be 23.976, but it is 29.97.

The reason is that the deinterlacer routine completes successfully, and IVTC's the vob file. However, the fps sent to mkvtoolnix is from an earlier report of 29.97.

I can't say if this happens when loaded directly with an ifo, but I do know that it happens when loaded with a sample vob.

Reading through your past posts you appear to be permanently at war with the AR. Make sure that your playback device does not introduce the AR distortion due to wrong settings. What is your playback device?
Why don't you finally upload a short clip of your source so that someone may give you advice?

Valid point if I didnt know what I was looking at. I run the original file plays fine. I run the converted songs from the movie plays the right AR(these were single pass). Play the converted movie, overcropped and stretched vertically. I play all videos with MPC. Automkv does not have this problem. I might have to switch back. Was busy the last few days. I will do some tests. I tried choosing various different options for the same sample vob file and the queue processed without any output which was weird. However I will do thorough tests. My upload bandwidth isnt the best so uploading a file is a pain. My question presently if buzz needs the right feedback then you need to tell me exactly what you will need after an encode. Last time you asked me to post make report. Are there any other log files you will need to have a preliminary check without the actual vob? Let me know what I should post.
thanks

Thanks for the great app!!!

Most of the time I convert my old collection of 1080er HD mkv-Movies to 720p. (Because it doesnt seem the prizes for bluray will lower soon, so i began to burn on 4,5GB DVDR)

I wonder if there is somewhere a guide how to max out the quality of the reencoded file?
Except from choosing a h264 profile with the slider, is there any other possibility to enhance the output quality?
(Any suggestions for filters or other settings welcome.. :-)
(Have a Core i7 920, so Speed isn't the most essential, I prefer quality, at the moment I use Extreme quality,2pass xH264, copy audio)

I now use win7, any hints or known problems?

Any plans for adding CUDA support?

best wishes,

ziemlichdunkel

You have to be more specific about "maxing out" everyone could have a different interpretation. Its a breach of forum rules to ask for "best" as best is subjective.

If you know what you like you can add your x264 profile to profile.ini the HDC folder Like this.

X264;7;Extreme Quality;--keyint 250 --bframes 4 --mixed-refs --trellis 0 --ref 4 --filter -1,-1 --subme 9 --direct auto --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --no-ssim --weightb --b-adapt 2 --no-chroma-me --8x8dct --aud --aq-mode 1 --aq-strength 1 --psy-rd 1.1:0.0

As I'm not too familiar with all the special parameters the x264 codec has to offer, it's hard to be more specific, but I'll try it anyway:

When I reencode my files with the app, I always choose the X264;7;Extreme Quality (see HDConvertToX_profile.txt), setting the Denoise Filter is "Super Light" and set Anamorpic Shape (for 16:9, right?)
Mostly I play with the MOD as long as I have no, or only a small AR Error. (Sometimes crop some pixels helps too) (Has MOD something to do with the picture quality?)
Can the picture quality improved by using Filters (Basic, QMF, Degrain), or is this only for case depending scenarios (where the original has bad image quality too), not for general use?

My 2 main points about picture quality are:
Mostly colors look a little bit washed out (not so strong and warm than before the recode)
The picture looks crispy (grainy) at quick motion scenes, at low motion its often only sharp at one point in the foreground(at the background most details are gone that are in the original)

It's clear to me that with compression I will always lose detail, but maybe ther's a way to tweak the used profile for a little bit more sharpness, detail and less grain?

thanks in advance...

flebber

2nd July 2009, 16:07

ziemlichdunkel MOD is for frame size not video quality. Do you need your output to be anamorphic?

Extreme Quality has done good encodes for me but then I would also use different settings for different material. Could only guess at what filters you need or don't without seeing your source video. However you will probably have more fun playing with them and there is a vast amount of information on this site alone.

Here are a few links to get started.

Scintilla's guide to avisynth filters has a good selection and description to start with http://aquilinestudios.org/avsfilters/index.html

If you wanted to know more about aspect ratios and resolutions try here http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/conversion/#conversion_table

PS Forgot before welcome to the forum :D

Adub

2nd July 2009, 16:54

If you are having troubles with washed out colors, make sure that ColorMatrix is applied. There is an option in the "Advanced Options" tab. If colors are still washed out after using ColorMatrix, what player are you using?

If you want to sharpen your video, using something like LimitedSharpenFaster, LSFmod, or Seesaw.

If you want to add grain, take a look at AddGrain, or GrainFactory3.

If you want to preserve more detail/grain, try increasing the psy-rd value in you x264 options.

All in all, all of this you can learn by browsing over to the Avisynth section and checking out www.avisynth.org

buzzqw, change fps doesn't work that well.

I have a 29.97 video, and I want to encode it to 23.976, the results look pretty bad. It looked like stuttering at times. When I went through it frame by frame, I saw repetition of frames.

For example, in a camera pan, say every frame moves to the right by 1cm. The stuttering I'm seeing is when a frame is repeated, and the next frame move 2cm to the right.

EDIT: Never mind, the source is vfr.

Small Bug Report. Using the latest 1.9.403.3232.

It appears that HDConvertToX still thinks that there is an error when loading a file after that error has been corrected and the "problem" file loads fine in MPC.

To replicate:

1) Take a .vob file.
2) Turn OFF ffdshow mpeg2 codec. Or any other directshow mpeg2 filter you have. Make sure that there is no way the file can be played through directshow.
3) Load .vob file into HDC.
4) Analyze. A problem will occur. MPC will display an error saying that "DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph won't talk to me."
5) Don't close HDC!
6) Renable Mpeg2 decoding (in ffdshow or otherwise).
7) Re-analyse your file. It will say that there is a problem, but when MPC loads to display the problem, it loads the .vob file correctly and plays just fine.

fixed

@buzzqw
Next, I tried simplifying the file by removing unnecessary audio using tsMuxeR and then creating a 10 min segment using TSPE. When loaded into HDConvertToX, I get the same result (halts after first encoding pass).

need a sample to replicate

In addition to my earlier bug report (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1300398#post1300398) (in case you didn't see it), I noticed that there seems to be an issue when selecting "automatic" from the deinterlacer drop down.

as stated automatic deint isn't recommend and is already written that automatic deint don't work with ivtc

i added a workaround in next update, but is ugly , and not recommend

hdc will open the same last folder as last opened file

Congratulations Buzz :)
I'll try to be brief, I know you're busy with the newcomer :)
When I put more movies in queue HDC seems to take and extract the same subtitles, in my case, the subs from Navy seals and it put those on all the movies in queue.

you are right, hdc use the same fodler for extracting subs and with the same name.. so same subs for different movie...

i will try to fix it

totaly unable to replicate. please post the x264 dos error

I think Queue is broken. I queued a set of different scaled movies, with different crop values.
Appearantly it scales and crops all movies in queue with the values of the last added movie.

never use queue for the same file or multitemp too

example: my input file is "test.vob"

the avs script is always created as hdconverttox_test.avs
regardless of queue.
In multitemp HDC create a folder for each input file, BUT if the input file is always test.vob it will create a single test folder, and each avs/subs will be named the same!

ergo: use different input file name, and use multitemp if you want handle subs

I don't really know why but file analysis does never work for my mkv movies.
Mediainfo (mediainfo.sf.net) has no problem finding all the required information though, maybe using this application instead of the included decoders would help ?

@Buzz
Following on from Acid Burn, I noticed a similar problem when doing 'multiple Multi Episode DVDs'. Doing the DVDs one at a time worked perfectly, selecting the individual PGCs and queueing them. However when I tried to queue up more than one DVD, (I tried 4 DVDs with 4 episodes each overnight, so 16 in the queue) it uses the IFO file for the last one I selected and repeats the PGCs for that IFO only, ignoring the earlier entries.

The DVDs were ripped to disk and in separate folders.

No big deal, I did them all individually, but seems you're gonna be looking at the queue system so....

About the whole "working with with similar named files in multitemp" thing, (as I discovered this weekend when working with multiple DVD's with the same ifo structure), why not allow multiple folders that increment with the same name, similar to MeGUI.

Ex. Folder - "temp.vob"
Folder - "temp.vob_1"
Folder - "temp.vob_2"
etc....

Should be easy enough to implement a check and change the folder name.

Good Idea!
Another beta update http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX_beta.exe

this update doesn't allow more multitemp, because every file will now create a specific temp folder, and hdc will store it all files
inputfilefolder should work too

Excuse me, but why? When bitrate calculator detects movie length it produces temp files, (movielength temporary stuff).
I suppose this stuff must be in temp folder, not in HDC root;)

[Edited:] Now I am at work, I can't enumerate file names appear in HDC root folder exactly, but I hope, buzzqw, you understand what I mean in case of "movielength temporary stuff".
Another argument. On some systems user doesn't have rights to write anything in "program files" folder in which HDC is located, but have rights to write to temp folder.

Well I tried with the first beta to encode the one movie apart from others in relation to overcrop and stuff and this time got it right. The AR came out right and no problems if I its a new temp folder. I then kept the same folder and encoded movie 2 and guess what movie 2 came out with movie 1 Audio. So there is definitely a bug. Also another bug. I set the temp folder to D:temp and loaded the ifo and hit analyse and it automatically changed the temp to c:\documents settings ..... \temp and I had to switch it again. So AR issues like Acid burn said is HDC issue....

both Generate Encoding and Start Queue, works correctly

otherwise use the make report

feanor12 suggestion is good. Since HDC works with batch, there is a limit of how long a string can be

BHH

I dont understand. The files are in same location and the save file name is 1.mkv, as before. There cant be anything short than 1.mkv!

BHH:
I found the problem with HDC_VisualCrop.EXE. I went back to x264_1173 and it works fine with the preview window/crop. When I put 1179 in, it fails with a blank preview. I believe it is calling x264 with the wrong params now that 1179 has change the CLI.

buzzqw

9th July 2009, 14:51

yes, i have already update viduacrop exe

download this vidualcrop http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDC_visualcrop.exe

will be included in next full update

I used this visual crop and cant see picture itself but only see blue bars?

Queue works now. thanks

buzzqw

9th July 2009, 15:50

redownload it

this visual crop is to use only with new x264.exe (rev 1179)

redownload it

BHH

Ops right
started the queue. think I spoke to soon. It stopped at chapter extractor with an error.
Could this have something to do with the fact that I was using new visual crop?

buzzqw

9th July 2009, 15:55

chapter and visual crop ? no , nothing to spare in common

so is chapter extractor that put an error ?
what error ?

BHH

Said it could not access it. In the window I did see default location for HDC had no job folders. with one early beta I could see these folders being created as it went further in the queue.
My temp folder is this D:\HDConvertToX_1.8.332.2935\temp\

but no such folder. In fact the usual huge audio file I see in the temp folder or job folder was in the HDC root!

buzzqw

9th July 2009, 16:02

you should start making better bug report, otherwise is near impossible to help

and redownload hdc beta

BHH

Mrsash

9th July 2009, 16:04

BHH

The problem is I dont know if I should do the report before using make report or if an error occurs should I then go back to make report or does HDC store some log file I can post after the error comes up?
thanks

Mrsash

9th July 2009, 16:09

I have same 2 movies in the queue. What is the best way to proceed?

If make report does not tell you where the error lies then there should be a easy button say create log which shows up as option after a encode. Just a suggestion

just redownload latest beta
and add your works to queue

and start queue it

if you got an error, re add your work to queue
and hit make report

is very difficult for hdc to create a true encoding log

EDIT:
"D:\HDConvertToX_1.8.332.2935\applications\Chapter\ChapterXtractor.exe" "O:\New Folder (8)\Movies\1 Mix\Kis Kis Kismat\New Folder\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO" "D:\HDConvertToX_1.8.332.2935\analysis\chapters.txt" -p5

I think you introduced the queue bug again... in latest beta. I am not even sure whcih version I should be using. I downloaded from last link you posted of beta

I think chapter extractor was working fine even though it was chapter extractor error. I saw in the dos window when I saw the error message come up saying cant find job folder etc. Since the job folder was not created it could not find the reference. This is what I think

OK using the beta version 2.0.423.3351

started queue with DVD. Queue works but it is 8 hours on a quad core and still not finished the first movie. Usually conversion takes about 3 or so hours for a 2 pass encode on my machine.

use the free avs string for video
and use eac3to with slowdown for audio
Audio and video encode perfectly but muxing fails for MP4 and MKV.
All works well if muxed with YAMB or MKVmergeGUI.

It's all good

Hi

First, thank you very very much for this nice software :)
I really appreciate to be able to choose many audio tracks along with many subtitles

But is there a way to choose the number of threads x264 runs ?

I have an I7 920 overclocked to 3,8 ghz, along with 12GB of ram, to run seven 64bits, but when using HDConvertToX the x264 thread takes only about half cpu ressources and thus it takes over twice the time that ripbot264 takes to encode the same movie using the same codec and bitrate

Don't take me wrong, I still prefer your software for much greater flexibility, I'm just wondering if there is a way to speed it up by enabling full power of x264 multithread encoding

Thanks

buzzqw

10th July 2009, 19:09

Audio and video encode perfectly but muxing fails for MP4 and MKV.
All works well if muxed with YAMB or MKVmergeGUI.

can you write the error on muxing ?

@Mrsash AND @harycover

hdc isn't slow, since it's a gui.

you must check profile used and avsynth script
x264 is used in automatic thread detection (cores*1.5), so there isn't any need to change it.

More over HDC SUPPORT Avisynth MT, just install it and check the appriate check in advanced options (latest beta)

more over you can compare gui, just x264 versions, x264 options used and avisynth script ;)

BHH

harycover

10th July 2009, 19:35

Thanks :)

Can your gui be used with x264 64 bits ? apparently ripbot264 includes one, I've tried switching the exe but it doesn't seem to work, maybe if you add some encoding options for x264 (since it's the most popular codec these days) I used to use command line for my very first encodings (dvd) but since then my brain have became lazy and now I prefer nice guis and leave the hard work for smarter persons like you :)

I use no filters (denoise etc) so I'm pretty sure the settings are the same

I have to go off for the moment but I'll do a bit more serious investigations and tell you

btw : how to know the x264 version ? a right click to check properties doesn't tell

Cheers

Adub

10th July 2009, 19:59

To check the x264 version, simply navigate to the containing folder with the command line, execute the executable, and read the output. Version number should be near the top.

buzzqw

10th July 2009, 20:02

or do x264 --version

about 64bit: should work , but i haven't a 64bit os.. so i cannot test
just try it and report any errors

BHH

delacroixp

10th July 2009, 20:47

can you write the error on muxing ?

There are no error messages but the audio is out of synch.
The video is muxed back to 25 fps while the audio is correctly left at 23.976 fps.

I did notice that mkvmergeGUI will prompt the user to manually input the framerate since ...
You're adding an AVC/H.264 elementary stream to the output file. mkvmerge cannot determine the number of frames per second for such files itself.
Therefore you have to set this parameter yourself on the 'format specific options' page.

If you don't do this then mkvmerge will assume 25 fps.
I had no problems with YAMB eventhough the audio framerate setting is greyed out ... having no entry at all
(the video framerate is correctly reported as 23.976).

It's all good
:):devil::D
Pascal

buzzqw

10th July 2009, 21:29

Assume 23.976 fps

hdc don't parse freeavs for checking change of framerate, and so mux is done at 25

you should use the framerate changer already present (srestore)

i will add in future update the possibility of changing framerate

i can only suggest now to tweak manually the muxing line

BHH

:thanks: much appreciated !

Is there any chance that HDC could automatically reduce the framerate of PAL movies downto 23.976 fps
(in a similar way that it performs IVTC on NTSC movies) ?

I'm new to this tool and looking to create an M2TS file that I want to copy an AVC video file, encode a True_hd 5.1/7.1 audio file to LPCM or other lossless audio and keep the AC3 core from the True_hd audio as a second audio track. I can see where I can copy the AVC file and I see an option to keep the AC3 code only but does that mean I can't get the converted Lossless track in addition to the AC3 core? Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I plan on using these files for streaming to a PS3 if that is possible.

hdc apply the same audio codec to all tracks.

i suggest to use flac , since it's lossless

What is Avisynth MT? I have Avisynth 2.58 which is presently installed on my PC is that what you mean?

The first movie has been done and took about 11 hrs

here is the multithreaded avisynth http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=144852

and , moreover you have selected as deinterlace "Mixed interlaced/telecine" and this routines must check for BOTH interlace and telecine.
this must be slow.

just use Interlaced or Film NTSC (29.97->23.976), you will have a huge boost of speed (but not in quality of deinterlace)

I had chosen the same filter for these movies before so I dont understand why it would take 4x longer with this beta. Anyway did you mean the difference in quality is not visible between Interlaced and Interlaced/telecine?

Anyway went to the site you advised for avisynth MT but am a bit confused what it does and what benefits it has?

Also HDC is working on the second movie and I see in task manager it only is using 25% of CPU where earlier is was using the rest of the CPU after the usual process. I tried setting it to high proirty but it still stuck at 25%. Hope this helps

buzzqw

11th July 2009, 06:29

just copy (overwriting) the avisynth.dll and mt.dll in your system32 folder
on hdc, on advanced settings check Use multithreaded avisynth (and save setting)

cpu usage depends on x264 options and script, if you are using the latest beta YOU must manually update to latest x264.exe too

on monday i will publish a new full package

it should rip subs and pgc correctly, edit when working with multiple dvd in queue
for any problem remember to post the report

thanks

BHH

Sorry it took me so long, I had to get the original DVDs back from my mate I was encoding for.

But complete success!. That new build ripped the individual PGCs from multiple DVD queue entries and put the finished files in the right place perfectly. Only thing I noticed was that during x264 encoding it did not report the usual progress timer and percentage of completion.

Tks a lot - this GUI looking more and more awesome every day!

buzzqw

12th July 2009, 06:53

@Tiberiust

thanks! i asked this because i have upload too many beta.. , but i am glad.. you have tested the latest one :)

@Mrsash

1) are you using beta build or new build ?
if you are using the beta build , Do you have update the x264 to rev 1179+ ?

and How a gui can be slower ?
it's just a matter of preset used, and the new beta required the new x264.exe AND the new profile.
and , of course of deinterlace used.

so, sorry Mrsash, but i cannot help on "slower" encoding

Some questions finally

1. As you advised before if I do this does it will do mutithreaded encoding right?

just copy (overwriting) the avisynth.dll and mt.dll in your system32 folder
on hdc, on advanced settings check Use multithreaded avisynth (and save setting)

do I need to download this and instal this still or is it included in package

2. I dont need to update to latest ffdshow do I?

3. As Tiberiust mentioned he did multiple PGC ripping. IS this still choose each PGC for each episode on a episode disc or is there a way of adding all easily?

thanks

- Avisynth must be first installed, then "just copy (overwriting) the avisynth.dll and mt.dll in your system32 folder
on hdc, on advanced settings check Use multithreaded avisynth (and save setting)"

- updating ffdshow don't break anything.. (usually) so, update

- you must select each pgc one at time, no multiple pgc selections are possibile

BHH

Do I need to update ffdshow. Everthing works now so dont really want to do so just in case

Also downloaded custom dlls and build and extracted the avisynth.dll and mt.dll in system32 folder but it did not ask me overwrite anything. And I have avisynth installed already.

OK did a search and found it under "Dlls and Buildlogs" folder in system32

There are some issues in update functionality in HDC.
1) When I pressed "update" button, НDC told me about new version availability, bla-bla-bla then downloaded HDConvertToX_new.exe. I manually deleted old HDConvertToX.exe and renamed HDConvertToX_new.exe to HDConvertToX.exe. Is it possible to do it automatically?
2) is concerned to 1). If I do not rename HDConvertToX_new.exe and run HDC via launching HDConvertToX_new.exe.
I press "update" button, НDC tell me about new version availability, bla-bla-bla. I press "yes", then HDC without any downloading immediately report me "Download completed! Please use HDConvertToX_new.exe"

Just a quick fyi, I just upgraded to the latest full pkg. The drag-n-drop bug with the IFO is still there.

If you DnD the IFO to the filename field and hit analyze, the crop does not calculate values (0,0,0,0). If you use the Open File button to load the IFO, the crop computes the correct values.

I'm just using a standard DVD ripped.

Buzzqw, something has been bothering me a little bit.

The manner in which you use eac3to for audio encoding is a good one, yet inefficient in terms of disk I/O.

Take a DVD source for example.

What you are currently doing is forcing eac3to to scan the entire DVD (4 GB or more), in order to normalize and encode it. This is one way to do it, however, in so doing, you are reading 4GB or more.

One solution that would (I think) speed up the process would be to use DGIndex to demux an audio stream during the indexing process, and then feed THAT file (significantly smaller, usually around 350MB) to eac3to for processing. If my theory is correct, this should significantly speed up the processing time, as you are dealing with files that are greatly reduced in size.

Just an idea. I would present some numbers, but I don't have a dvd source to test on at work.

buzzqw

13th July 2009, 19:15

that's approach is good, and used in automkv...but will required a total rewrite of audio detection

more over eac3to is a lot more easy when dealing with NO VOB sorce (like ts), no pid to hassle...

i can just optimize some extraction ... but the workflow will not change

BHH

Adub

13th July 2009, 20:08

i can just optimize some extraction ... but the workflow will not change

What do you mean by this? Just use the dgindex demuxed ac3 on dvd sources, but leave the rest?

If so, then that's just fine. If not, then can you elaborate a little?

buzzqw

13th July 2009, 20:16

when you copy 2 or more audio tracks, hdc will run two times eac3to... not only one time with 2 audio extraction simultaneously

about dgindex/eac3to: audio mapping are different, so i must show on hdc the audio list as dg or eac3to handle

Just to add on the disk I/O inefficiency.

eac3to extracts the .264 file for every encode. What bothers me is HDC won't take a .264 file! It has to mux it to a MKV, then it extract it again! A huge waste of time and disk movement.

I am having a bit of trouble working with new version. I downloaded unzipped and updated using update. When I choose IFO file it picks it up but when I click analyse it comes up with "Please check media properties". Then nothing is filled in media properties, fps, crop etc

@buzzqw:

Thank you, this is a fantastic program which is really helping me to convert my DVD collection to X264 so I can watch them using my Popcorn Hour (NMT).

Would it be possible to add the current setting for "X264 Tuning" (None, Film, Animation, Grain, psnr, ssim, Touhou) to the INI-file so it can be saved & loaded accordingly?

Thanks,

Fork.

Chengbin

15th July 2009, 01:03

it extract if IF you encode the video
or it extract it if you caopy the video

where is the waste ?

BHH

P.S. remember.. you can always force to use DirectShowSource

I worded it badly.

I meant, I have an extracted .264 file. When I use that as input, HDC muxes it to MKV, then uses eac3to to extract it out again! Doesn't make sense for me.

BTW, where is the option to disable crop detection? I'll kill myself if I have to wait for almost a minute for every video to analyze when I build a queue.

Also, a little bug.

If I press no resize & crop and change the resolution, the second (vertical) resolution's number does not affect the aspect ratio calculator.

Is it possible to set a default destination folder and name it the same as the source like in AutoMKV?

Also, can you add a feature to automatically delete the temp folder? The new version, with the multiple temp folders, will eat up disk space VERY quickly for people that encode a lot.

I also tried saving the queue.bat and running it. The audio began encoding but the video did not encode.

De-selecting "Use Multithread AviSynth" changes the .ini correctly to "Use Multithread AviSynth=0", however the .avs script still includes
#Enabling MT
SetMemoryMax(512)
SetMTMode(2,0)
and avisynth runs multi-threaded.
i'll check monday, thanks

The script opens in Virtualdub okay.

With shorter path i am not getting an encode to start.

i have a doubt.. how have you upgrade to latest hdc ?

trash the old folder and unrar the new hdc. don't mess the new folder in older one's
you can also try lauching x264 command line, you should got an error

afaik in hdconvertx.ini there is an option

you are right, but is only a cosmetical error

The AVI Import Filter error usually occurs when VirtualDub is trying to access a codec's .ax file that hasn't been registered. What codecs do you have installed Mrsash? Uninstall any codec packs and re/install ffdshow-tryouts.

I did have codec pack installed and working fine, but for this experiment I uninstalled it and setup everything right and still no joy. I was working withe the codec pack fine, so why suddenly it would be a problem is beyond me??

Chengbin

15th July 2009, 13:46

How do I set the no crop analysis and delete temp file options in hdc.ini?

Never mind, I found out.

Another problem, I changed no auto crop to 1, Clean Temporary files to 1, and AutoAnalysis of input files to 1. Now the add to queue, start queue, and start encoding buttons are grayed out!

Second edit, the problem is autoanalysis. If that is turned on, you can't encode.

Also, HDC can't encode from an AAC source. It says WAV can't be parsed.

I updated HDC, it works now.

Doesn't matter what decoder I use, HDC can't encode from an AAC source.

@buzzqw

I don't like the fact that .mp4 are not in the "supported files" category in file viewer. HDC does support mp4, just needs muxing. It is annoying to select all files, and for novice they might think HDC doesn't support mp4.

It's later the commandline worked before the update to new HDC, but its probably that we now using x264 greater then 1179 so I will probably have to get used to new x264.

Been a long time since I checked this program and posted. I have a problem with this software. I'm converting a DVD (ripped with DVDFab 5, main movie, ifo selected) copying AC3 audio and NO subtitles. My encode repeatedly failed, so I ran everything in the queue through command line, and I found this:

java -jar "E:\Programs\HDConvertToX\applications\BDSup2Sub.jar" "E:\Programs\HDConvertToX\job2\hdc_subs.idx" "E:\Programs\HDConvertToX\job2\hdc_subs.sup"

1st: Its a regular DVD, so I'm not sure why HDC is trying to convert BDSups to subs. Anyway, this fails for obvious reasons:
2nd: I selected "none" for subtitles. Why is there even a subtitle job?
3rd: Muxing audio and video with tsmuxer fails because its looking for hdc_subs.sup, which doesn't exist. Again, this shouldn't be here since I have "none" selected for subtitles.

I don't have a report, because I was tooling around with settings when I realized what was going on. I'll try and run it again and see if I hit the same wall.

I noticed it on m2ts sources (normally big files). Decoder (most probably) is directshowsource. It's not new, I had the effect with previous HDC versions as well.
I don't know if its the same for other sources/decoders. I'll check later.

Hey Guys, you guys have done a great job. I love this program, I seem to have run into a small issue though, I tried to re-encode an .mts file I had into a .h264 (.mp4 container) file and the video works fine but when using AC3, seems WMP/ps3 does not detect sound. Only VLC player does. I tried with Nero AAC andthat worked fine but if the original file was AC3 from the .mts file why wouldn't .ac3 work on any of my conversions? so any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks gain and I hope this will be my new home for my video/audio conversion needs :) Also, not when I try the older version, when it's finishing encoding and all, the file isn't in the location that I saved it to. I can't find it at all lol.

Sharc

17th July 2009, 18:05

@buzzqw
It appears the the compression test does not consider the "x264 Tuning" selection. This gives inaccurate compression test results. The compression test should run with the same encoder settings as will be used for the real encode.

Buzz I have a problem. Set a DVD after a while today. It went through and did the audio then chapterx ran and then it just stopped. hdconverttox_vts_01_1.avs when opened in virtualdub says

Script error: there is no function names "SetMTMode"
(D:\.......\hdconverttox_vts_01_1.avs, line 76)

Hmm ok. Think I fixed it

When I reinstalled avisynth it placed a dll in system32 folder.
System32 already had "Dlls and Buildlogs" folder. However to get it working I had to copy the dll from this folder and overwrote dll in system folder. The encode started when I pressed encode. what I am worried about though is if I click on analyze again it may give me "please check media file" error again

Actually AC3 in MP4 was only recently added to the MP4 specifications, which is why support is so spotty at the moment. If you want you audio to work universally across different platforms stick with the (safe) AAC format.

Buzz, not sure if you can answer this, but hopefully someone else can:

What kind of settings should I use to convert to zune compatible mp4. My strategy is to have all my DVDs backed up to h264/AC3 inside MKV. Problem is Zune software won't see mkv for syncing, so I'm going to have to have a dumped folder of duplicate files with zune compatible resolutions/codecs. Problem is, I can't ever find any definitive answers to what zune 120 needs for compatibility, and all the "convert to zune" programs are garbage.

EDIT: I also have a feature request: When HDC has to convert an input file to mkv for compatibility, can we have the file name of the MKV be the same as input file name? And if not (we may not need to for what I need), can the default output name of a converted file be the same as the input file name? If I have a default output directory and I'm making a long queue with multiple files being converted to "fullmovie.mkv", aren't I going to get alot of output files with the same name in my default out directory? And even if I don't, I'll still have to go back manually after the operation to rename all those files.

P.S. anyway this problem doesn't belong to HDC...
It's really strange. Up to about 94% the compression test runs normal. Then the CPU usage goes significantly down and progress becomes slow. At about 95% the CPU is almost idling, and compression test continues extremely slow. So the last 5 % of the compression test take much more time that the first 90%.
(Just now the process seems to stay at 96.1% with no visible progress, x264 gets no cpu time at all .... no progress since about 10 minutes).

I mustn't written it clearly multiple compression tests do not require DGindec to re-run, but using compression test and then test deinterlace does.

Therefore if I have tested compression I shouldn't need to re-run Dgindex for another sample to test interlace. Couldn't we use the compression sample to test interalce?

Buzz the new beta with x264 has issues I feel. Clicking analyse does not work on some movies. IT does the eac cmd window then x264 check keeps going on and on and does not finish. One movie I ended up with a 7.56 GB hdconverttox_vts_01_1.h264 file. It one the second one in the queue. Another movie it had problems doing the Audio. I will post some more info later.

New issue visual crop takes 3x longer. Encoding however has speeded up overall.

Questions. If the movie comes up interlaced/telecine u said go with interlaced to reduce encode time. I wont see a major quality drop right?
If the movie comes up telecine. I suppose I have to go telecine but do I tick audio to NTSC(23fps)?

Movie above had no output

Third movie I chose deinterlace, but came out 29 fps. I dont understand about how this works but rest of movies which worked came out 23fps.

One more question. Is there a filter I can use the colour on one movie?
thanks

Also dont know what you would like me to do about the movie which doesn't get analyzed. Earlier HDC has worked on this movie fine. When I click analyse. IT opens cmd window eac check and then x264 cmd window comes up which sort of never finishes what it doing?

@akatitan

please redownload the dg build http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-DG.exe

@Mrsash

analysis problem come out from directshowsource issue, be sure to have installed all required component

first job has a bitrate of 1108 that is good for your final size
i don't know why x264 has made a so huge temporary encoding files
i will let encoding finishing an look at final size

the second job you have selected INTERLACED and not NTSC (23.976>29.97) so the final framerate is 29.97

you can use the Tweak filter, using the free avs string

ATI's encoders are TERRIBLE!! They produce even worse quality than x264 set on fastest preset! Probably the worst h264 implementation ever! Take my good advice and DO NOT USE THEM!

thanks for the warning. i use it to encode WMV, i will try a short clip and compare atI to microsoft.

Sorry, buzzqw, I totally missed your new link to the DG....NV version.
I have now started with some testing (VC-1 source).
First feedback:
- DG...NV started well, index file .dgm is produced. Great. However the compression test returned a 0 byte file. Maybe the problem is here. I have to try this again.
- Currently I try a real encode. DG....NV indexed the file properly. Now eac3to extracts the sups and the audio ..... let's see ....... I keep you posted.

Queue is pissing me off.

I take forever to build up a queue, and it doesn't work. DGAVCIndex will always crash when I encode the queue. If I encode them one by one it works, but not in a queue.

ok, understand.
I tried a real encode. Everything went fine but x264 encoding failed. x264 terminates with

avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB)
x264 [error]: could not open input file 'C:\Users\Movies\HDConvertToX\HDC-W
ORKFOLDER\job1\hdconverttox_00000.avs'

Then HDC proceeds with the muxing (2 x audios, 1 x sups, but empty video)

I had this error once before, but now I scratch my head trying to remember how I solved it ....
I am pretty sure the problem is here on my system.

@buzzqw

Look at Atak_Snajpera's quote, the 2 file names should be the same, but they're not.

Also, when there are Chinese characters, DGAVCIndex will run right away, and crash, whereas if you don't have those characters, eac3to will extract the h264 file then run DGAVCIndex.

BTW, can you disable the sound that I think eac3to makes after finishing a job like extraction? It is annoying when you watch a movie, and it keeps making that sound loudly (because you have to really turn it up to watch movies)

I'm having a lot of problems with the audio sync. I've managed to convert over a dozen DVDs successfully but now only 1 in 10 is actually converting properly (ie with the audio in sync with the video!).

I own the DVDs (of course!) and I have ripped them to my hard disk using AnyDVD and CloneDVD2.

If I play a ripped VOB-file in Media Player Classic it plays correctly - the audio and video is in sync. So I know that my source files are GOOD.

If I then select the IFO in HDConvertToX, click "Analyze file", and then click "Preview" in the "Crop and Resize" tab I find that the audio and video are now out-of-sync by quite a few seconds.

And it's not just the preview that's getting it wrong because if I go ahead and convert the movie then the resultant file is out-of-sync.

I can't think of anything that I have changed recently on my PC. I dual-boot and I am getting exactly the same symptoms in both Windows 7(RC) and Windows XP.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or is there a way I can try to manually correct this?

Thanks,

Fork.

preview uses the directshowsource... se hd can be a bottleneck..

anyway the delay is progressive or fixed ?
try manually indexing the vobs, any delay is reported in audio extraction ?

also.. remember that you can feed HDC with the d2v and audio files

When the source is vc-1 then the index output file sould be movie.dgv, not movie.dgm
The script should then equally be
DGSource("C:\Users\Movies\HDConvertToX\HDC-WORKFOLDER\job1\movie.dgv")

For mpeg-2 it's .dgm
For avc it's .dga

I am very confident when you fix this everything will work :)

i don't know why x264 has made a so huge temporary encoding files
i will let encoding finishing an look at final size
BHH
Well there no output for this movie

the second job you have selected INTERLACED and not NTSC (23.976>29.97) so the final framerate is 29.97

you can use the Tweak filter, using the free avs string

check avisynth manual for tweak filter, then apply in advanced settings on free avs

the beta version (DG) is actually supporting great Neuron2 NV tools, that allow decoding of h264/mpeg2/VC-1 on Nvidia graphic card's.
and your graphic card is a lot more faster in decoding then your cpu.

you must buy licence from Neuron2 (a well deserved licensed!)

I did three encodes today and they all went fine but not the same movies. I think I will retry movies with problems before reinstall?

One problem I have seen is movies take varying amount of time to show visual crop and analyse. Some movies are quick while other dont finish. The earlier version did not have this problem. Is this the reason you say reinstall?

Looks interesting. On free avs string I have to enter say sat=3 etc right. Also can I see the difference in real time or should I be using something else to see the difference before encoding?

What exactly do you mean by "enable dvd decoding in mpeg2"?Where is this setting. In ffdshow I have mpeg2 should Iset it to liba.?

When I click analyze haali splitter and ffdshow icons come up on the right. Anyway for this one movie which I have encoded in HDC before but since the size is not what I can live with I am re encoding. Since new version of x264 it does not analyze.

isn't the new versions of x264 that's fault, since other movies are analyzed.
it's a matter of decoder used.
if your problem with dss are insurmountable try using Force FFmpegSource

then install haali without enabling mpeg2 ps/ts support, and test analyze fuction

If you had to disable it in FFDShow, then another encoder already installed on your system took over. This usually occurs when using PowerDVD or ArcSoft TotalMedia Theater. Their filters take over, and apparently that works for you. Weird that ffdshow is having troubles.
Yes, this seems exactly to be the case. An installed MainConcept decoder took over. I didn't expect that ffdshow will have troubles with it. Weird indeed. I just wonder now how many other "strange observations" can be attributed to this....:confused:

what about speed gain ?

Here some results (on quadcore PC)
x264 preset medium, film

1) Source AVC (1080p)
DG_Standard: 8.48 fps
DG...NV: 8.95 fps

2) Source VC-1 (1080 frame/field interlaced)
DSS: x264 crash
DG....NV: 8.72 fps

3) Source mpeg-2 (1080p)
DG_Standard 9.82 fps
DG...NV: 9.95 fps

So for me the main benefit of DG....NV is the ability to decode frame/field interlaced VC-1 material, rather than speed.

But there is a check box at the bottom, called "DVD Decoding". Make sure that is checked if you want FFDshow to decode DVDs.

God feel like an idiot. Learning process I guess. Should I leave mpeg 2 as disabled or one of the others (liba, libmpeg2)?

noee

22nd July 2009, 12:23

MPEG2 is the encoded format for DVDs (mostly), so if you want FFDshow to decoded DVDs, you must enable MPEG2, either Libmpeg2 or libavcodec. IMO, Libmpeg2 provides a more stable experience. You can try both.

Hi buzzqw,

I've been meaning to ask....

I work alot with DV in .AVI and RGB in .AVI sources. Is there any particular reason why "input" of the .AVI container is not directly supported?

buzzqw

22nd July 2009, 13:05

simply answer: audio track

if avi has 1 only audio track you can say NO to muxing to MKV, but if avi file has more then 1 audio , the only way to process the second (or third..) is to mux in mkv

while developing automkv many and more users asked why weren't supported multiple audio in avi, with HDC if you mux in mkv you can process these tracks, otherwise no.

anyway avi is already present in list of supported media type

Because the development for automkv has stopped (thx buzz for the info), I will give HDConvertToX a try. But I have to ask a general question about subs. This problem also existed with automkv, but I could load external subs and with some handwork I could reach my goal.

I want to rip only forced subs. E.g. if someone speaks a foreign language in a movie, translated signs etc. But here the problem starts: On some DVDs you have a subtitle track with some subs marked as forced, on some other disc there is an extra subtitle track for this type of subs. So at the moment I rip the subs with vobsub, look at them with subresync and then I rip the needed subs with vsrip. After that I load them into automkv as external subtitle.

There must be an easier (automatic) way. How does a standalone player find this track? Isn't there any data on a DVD were a programm/player is guided to the right track? So an option to load "translation/sign" subs (see describtion above) would be nice. I DON'T wan't a simple button "rip forced subs only", this wouldn't save me any work.

If this doesnt' work, is possible to load external subs in hdc?

@buzzqw
HDC creates directories in the workfolder according to the file name. This is very nice, however these directories remain empty because HDC throws all temporary files into the [job1] directory.
Is this intentional? If so, what are the specific directories intended for?

Well analysing and visual crop was taking a long time. You asked me to disable support for mpeg2 ps/ts support and check if it works better. Well it does work fine after I disabled those two in haali.

What I need to know does HDC require Haali to support those two types and if it does then I am assuming you asked to instal and configure like that for a reason? Do you get better quality with haali?

buzzqw

23rd July 2009, 15:33

HDC need a proper and working splitter and decoder
isn't a issue about quality, but a necessity about being able to use directshowsource on stream

hdc will work well even without haali, that's for sure.. if you have installed another working mpeg splitter

a decoder should give the same quality as another, the same for splitter

Try the commandline by hand. Take the commands from the queue or make report and enter them one by one into the command line.

You should be able to find your problem pretty quickly.

Another thing that you can check is the job folder for that particular job. See which files have been created and which have not. Use the commanline to create the file not in you job folder and you should be able to track down your problem.

Buzz I have encountered several movies where the audio part shows error in {stwav.log} dont remember the name exactly. As a result with HDC it does not look like it can be converted(I know HDC does not actually do the conversion). I intend to convert these to Nero aac, 128kbps, original channel, CBR. The video for these movies encodes fine but audio seems to be the problem. Is there a way to make it work? If not what program should I use to convert these ac3 files to aac?

Hello buzzqw,

first i want to say thank you for this great piece of software.

Second i want to ask something about the "final size" option. In AutoMKV, this option will set the file size for the resulting media file (if i enter 185 MB, the resulting mkv will be 185 MB). In HDConvertToX this is changed to the filesize of the video file, right? If i enter 185 MB, the videofile will be 185 MB, but the container will be bigger (size of the video file + size of the audio tracks). Is this working as intended?

Greetings, phXql

buzzqw

26th July 2009, 09:24

Don't worry

it's final size , it mean audio+subs+video

BHH

phXql

26th July 2009, 11:27

Then the final size function doesn't work with NeroAAC.

Parameters: Final Size 185 MB
Audio: Nero AAC Enc, VBR, 0.35 Quality, 2 Tracks
Video: X264 (Program suggested 1126 as bitrate)
Container: MKV
Subtitles: 2 Subtitles

One audio track has 13.2 MB, the other 15.4 MB. The H264-File has 174 MB.

Final size should be 185 MB, but it is 204 MB.

buzzqw

26th July 2009, 12:22

VBR audio, you say all

hdc can "guess" how big will be audio, but since you ask for a vbr encoding, the exact audio size is impossible to know before audio encoding

BHH

phXql

26th July 2009, 12:37

Uhm okay.

What about first encoding the audio, checking the filesize and then calculating the video bitrate? I think this is the way AutoMKV does the job. What do you think of implementing this as an option?

buzzqw

26th July 2009, 12:41

i know, but isn't possible with HDC

when you start and encoding with HDC all parameters MUST be set before start, and so bitrate.

just a question: final audio was 5.1 ?

(i just checked and in case of 5.1 the bitrate is guessed as 2.0)

for example with audio cbr encoding you will get a very good size approximation

BHH

ac3 should never be a problem in decoding/encoding, seriously

most depends on profile selected...

if you try the slug or infinite time, or new placebo... these profile aren't playable on nmt (sigma 8635)

checking NMT Compatibility will FORCE hdc to modify the preset used to be compliant with NMT/DVXA (less bframes, less ref frames...)

Hi together,

can HDC reorder the audiostreams?
With AutoMKV, you could select at least the first and the second stream, what's sufficient for 95% of the encodings.

all the best
Sascha

Adub

27th July 2009, 18:20

Reorder? You mean like put the director's commentary as the default track, and then have the main audio as the second track? If yes, then no, it can't. However, if you are making mkv's, simply open the generated mkv in MKVToolnix and reorder it your self. Only takes about 10 seconds.

Hi I use AutoMKV all the time and I think it's great. Thought I would try this program but everytime I get an error message when pressing "analyze file" button. x264.exe "cannot find procedure entry point av_crc04C11DB7 in DLL file avutil-49.dll".

Anyone knows why?

One feature I always wanted in AutoMKV is to be able to remux DVD to MKV without encoding. Even remuxing TS files with subtitles into MKV would be great. Please consider this feature.

Same error here.. Windows XP Sp3.

buzzqw

28th July 2009, 07:20

make sure avutil-49.dll is in /applications folder (eventually replace it with one from latest eac3to package)

dvd to mkv without encoding: > ise makemkv

ts to mkv without reencoding is allowed only for avc stream

you can just add work to queue, edit the meta, start the queue

or.. while the encoding is in process, edit the meta

is there a way to easily find the "forced" subs using the "forced" flag or keyword? some other programs have a "forced only" tickbox that sorts it out for you.
or "fairuse wizard" had a great way of doing it by jumping thru the movie from 1 sub to the next so you could see if it was just normal conversation or something foriegn.
in the case of the above dvd mediainfo shows the forced sub stream as "Language, more info : Forced" but eac3to shows nothing?

cheers :)

Hello,

It's my first try for using your software and im having an question.

I Would like to know if my original file is an mkv, 1920x816px and i would like to resize to 1920x1080 wiout cropping but just adding black borders, what configuration i need to do?

Thanks for your time,
8ternity
You have to re-encode adding borders. Tab Advanced Options => Free AVS string => AddBorders(a,b,c,d)

What kind of "original" is your .mkv?

dichtomat

31st July 2009, 13:52

Why is eac3to used for ac3 output? I wan't to encode from a DVD as source and I want to keep the original ac3 track wihtout any changes. But eac3to is removing the dialog normalization and I don't know what it does else. Should't the ac3 track be demuxed by dgindex? Why don't use this track like automkv did?

You have to re-encode adding borders. Tab Advanced Options => Free AVS string => AddBorders(a,b,c,d)

What kind of "original" is your .mkv?

Did i need on the Encoding Options, Resizing/Resolution, to set manually to 1920 x 1080 also?

I have entered in Free AVS String
AddBorders(0,132,0,132)

Did it will work?

Can you help me with another one problem. When i click PREVIEW, media player classic give an error (see picture down bellow)

You need a codec that can decode proper yv12. In the FFDShow Video config, scroll down to the bottom and enable RAW decoding for "ALL" or just "YV12". It's up to you.

Hi Buzzqw,

Thanks for pointing to the method to modify the Xvid profile string that I asked about in the AutoMKV thread. I was able to generate an equivalent encode for my Cowon D2 device. I had to do it in a roundabout way though. If I used DGIndex to create a project of the entire DVD PGC, things worked just fine. If I pointed HDC to the .IFO file, the EAC3to.exe program was unable to generate a proper .AC3 for conversion. Here is the stdout - Log from that attempt.

[a03] The Nero decoder doesn't seem to work, will use libav instead. *** Note. I have Nero 9 installed so this is expected.

The final encode ended up with a chunk of audio skipped right at the 2:20 mark. It looks like AUTOMKV used the DGIndex output instead of using eac3to.exe. Is that right? From some web searches this appears to be a limitation of eac3to.exe. I haven't tried another set of IFO/VOBs yet to see if it was specific to one movie or not. I don't know if there is anything you can do about this problem or not.

My second test was to generate an avi for my Pioneer DVD player. It has issues with buffer overflows or something. This causes stuttering video. To fix this I use an older XVID release with VAQ enabled in it. I don't think the newer XVID releases support VAQ yet.

I then have to set -altpass2 in the 2nd pass call to xvid_encraw. This makes the encoder honor the VBV settings. But in HDC I can only specify one string in the profile.txt file. The encoder doesn't like -altpass2 when it's included in the first pass call, resulting in no .AVI file and a crash in avimux. If I rerun the .bat file that HDC generates, but I remove -altpass2 on pass1, things seem to work just fine (the 2nd pass is underway right now). This is probably a pretty special case. Do you have any suggestions to get around this other than rerunning the .bat file after it crashes? I can modify the .bat file while it's still encoding the audio, but I'd rather HDC not have this manual intervention involved.

Thanks for the great program(s).

You need a codec that can decode proper yv12. In the FFDShow Video config, scroll down to the bottom and enable RAW decoding for "ALL" or just "YV12". It's up to you.

Thanks, preview set to ALL and worked. :thanks::p

HI,

-- FIRST QUESTION--

Im having an trouble with a couple of program.

- Ripbot264
- Nero Vision express AVCHD

The original MKV file info for my trouble
(mkv video 1h52, audio time is 1h46)
the original mkv is sync, when converted, audio is unsync.

So i would like to know if your software will set automaticly the delai or i need to set an manual command for syncronized both?

-EDIT-

--SECOND QUESTION--

I would like to know if MKV 1280x536px, if i can addborder and put x264option (copy video) will work and save time that to be obligated to reconvert 2pass just for adding borders to be compatible AVCHD and BLU-RAY COMPLIANT. ?

-- END --
Thank You!

Thanks, sorry my english :eek:

Hi Buzzqw,

I might have found a bug. I was trying to test out the MT avisynth so instead of encoding the audio, I choose the Copy option. The audio creation fails. It looks like a badly formed input to eac3to.exe. It looks like the original filename is appended as the extension instead of just .ac3.

Source file.
c:\_working\Rips\MainMovie\movie1\VIDEO_TS\Test T80 3_2ch 384Kbps DELAY 0ms.ac3

Writing the destination file failed.
Aborted at file position 1310720.

I am running v2.0.445.3436. I'm trying to create an AVI file starting with a .d2v file. When I loaded the .d2v I gave it the .ac3 file indicated above.

And using the MT mode doesn't appear to have any affect on the encoding speed. The SetMtMode is in the avs script and it crashes if the old avisynth.dll is used instead. So it looks like it's using the right things. It's just not getting any benefit.

When making an compression test its looks like that the programm analyze the whole movie instead the selected minutes....

And is the result with or without the audio track included?

example it says full video quality will be 900 MB is this only video?

Another Problem with encoding , is that video encoding not always start:

I have an question about encoding multiple episodes dvds.

what does the option exactly do when checked?

so i am loading the ifo file and check the first episode accept and analyze. check settings and add to queue.

and so again and again,

is it possible, that i have only load the first episode, doing my settings and hdconverttox do the rest in automatic mode, with the same settings on the other episodes?

thx for answer

I would like to know this as well. What does ticking this option do?

Also buzz doing some avi videos. Type 2 DV capture and one video encoded with canopus lossless. Having same old problm where video plays fine via haali I think(I can see the icon on the bottom right) however analyse does not finish(x264 cmd window is blank)

thanks

@gasnyder
usually a "Audio overlaps for 15379ms at playtime 0:02:20" mean a bad rip
you can feed hdc with the d2v

fixed in next update audio copy

And using the MT mode doesn't appear to have any affect on the encoding speed. The SetMtMode is in the avs script and it crashes if the old avisynth.dll is used instead. So it looks like it's using the right things. It's just not getting any benefit.
sorry pal, maybe your filters isn't "optimizable" (or avisynth already run fast and the bottleneck is the encoder)

@Jaspa
When making an compression test its looks like that the programm analyze the whole movie instead the selected minutes
compression test analyze a sample of movie, you can even specify how much to analyze
open the hdconverttox_xxxx.avs, you will found a section like this

function Comptest(clip c, float percent)
{
frange=floor(14./(percent/100.))
Return SelectRangeEvery(c, frange, 14)
}
Comptest(5)

example it says full video quality will be 900 MB is this only video?
only video, no audio

Another Problem with encoding , is that video encoding not always start:
open the script in virtualdub
what is the error ?

@8ternity
- V02 The Video bistream is encoded in a non-standard framerate.
- V02 The video bistream framerate field doesn't seen to match the timestamp
those messages should be prompted by eac3to
maybe due to "strange" source stream
you can retry remuxing m2ts with tsmuxer

forcing dss (or dss2) will bring the same avs as automkv

if you select the first PGC , hdc don't know if this pgc is a "full movie" or part of multiple episodes

multiple episodes is to check when dealing with first pgc, otherwise is ignored (but checking it don't make problem)

Just a note:

When encoding an MKV with a vorbis track as input and eac3to select as the decoder, and nero aac selected as the encoder, nero aac fails.

Seems to be working with directshow as an input though.

Edit: Appears its an issue with eac3to. I thought it could decode vorbis, but maybe not.

hi
need little help
i have dvd with non original ac-3 audio.
when converting to MKV with MP3 audio WMP11 just plays choppy audio with no video. (playing with VLC or Mplayer2 is also OK)
when converting to MKV with AC-3 or AAC audio WMP11 plays also fine.

dont understand why WMP11 has problem to play sometimes some MKV with MP3 audio.

all codecs installed as i have other files similar and they play fine.

can someone give me idea what bothers WMP11 from playing some of these files?

I am not sure what you mean. It plays fine in media player and encodes in Automkv. I see haali loading up when I play it or automkv encodes it, then why does HDC refuse to accept it. It may have something to do with how HDC analyses the video but that does not make it easy to work with... If you want ffdshow to play it, can you tell me which particular codec I should manipulate in ffdshow decoder settings

buzzqw, why is apply colormatrix on by default? What does it do anyway? It is screwing up my encodes (it gives me blocking)

For one pass CRF encodes, can you make HDC encode audio and video at the same time?

Could my ATI 4870 Graphic Card improve encoding speed with x264 using DXVA and your tool?

buzzqw

9th August 2009, 08:52

isn't a matter of my tool.. x264.exe doesn't support GPU processing

in next update Neuron2 NVtools (for Nvidia cards) will help in decoding source... but no on encoding

Thx for the update!

One question

In the HDConvertToX_profile there are more encoding profiles

x264 : PS3 , Apple TV and so on.... where can i load them in HDC.exe

and is there at example any difference on

X264;7;Extreme Quality;--preset medium --trellis 0 --ref 4 --deblock -1,-1 --subme 9 --direct auto --me umh --b-adapt 2 --no-chroma-me

vs

X264;17;HDC Extreme Quality;--keyint 250 --bframes 4 --trellis 0 --ref 4 --deblock -1,-1 --subme 9 --direct auto --vbv-bufsize 14000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --b-adapt 2 --no-chroma-me --aud --aq-mode 2

thx

buzzqw

10th August 2009, 19:31

the standard profile (the one in main directory) is more secure and simple, immediate to use and edit

the preset in applications folder is contributed from users.

Some profiles are different because made before x264.exe update or no longer maintenied
but should be all functional

feel free to use the preset you prefer

Hi again

I have an problem encoding multiple episode dvds.

Ripped with DVDFAB in full disc mode.

In Hdc loading the ifo file and analyze. Selecting the first episode.
Do my settings crop, resize.

Save to queue and than begin to select the 2 episode

But when using visual cropping and preview it loads the first epsiode again. Rembember i analyze each epsisode!

is this a bug or working as intended?

thx

Just tried this program to day, thought I may replace the aging Encode360 and the "works most of the time" WME Assistant but can't get it to work at all.

When I try to convert an mkv file to wmv the program ends with a error result. It demuxes the mkv into a .h264, .avs and .AC3 but then flashes a message "failed with error" but it goes so fast you can't read it before the window closes. There is no record of any failure or error in any of the generated log files.

Also, if I select anything aside from "use best decoder" it doesn't demux the video, only the audio.

Bottom line: If I use the "use best decoder" option I end up with the audio and video demuxed in a "job" directory and it fails before transcoding.

Below is the report.

complete APP is crashing when i try to test interlace pattern.

Hitting the button > crash

with the complete same input the test works fine with 2.0.445.3436 and lower

All other functions i used are still working (making h264 mkv from my DVD's) just these test-button seems broken

I have an problem encoding multiple episode dvds.

But when using visual cropping and preview it loads the first epsiode again. Rembember i analyze each epsisode!

multiple episode mean the for one PCG you have more then one movie/episodes

when you start encoding, HDC will "split" the vobs in correct episodes, and encode the single episodes

when using visualcrop, HDC don't have already splitted dvd in episodes.. so it will show just the main vob. Usually the first

DGSource("E:\in\FULL_METAL_JACKET_B5A\BDMV\STREAM\00003.m2ts")

You can't load an m2ts with DGSource().

as Neuron2 stated (thanks!) DGSource cannot parse m2ts directly.
So the analyze function use dss
Feed HDC with DGM or DGV and HDC will use DGSource (and btw reuse the update fuction)

It demuxes the mkv into a .h264, .avs and .AC3 but then flashes a message "failed with error" but it goes so fast you can't read it before the window closes.

After converting lots of movies with your great application, I have found two Issues:

1.) Converting a DVD to MKV (copy Audio AC3 german/english, 2pass x264) with given Filesize of 2240MB ends up in a File with 4,5GB, tried it twice - is this a bug?

2.) Converting a MKV 1080p H264 to 720p, with 2 pass x264, fixed Filesize of 4482MB, conversion of two Audio tracks from DTS to AC3 ends up in a file with 4000MB and only one Language?

Are these known restrictions or is there a bug?

Are you using the latest Xvid version which offers multi-threading?

Also, you *can* mux AC3 into mp4 and mkv. Who told you you can't? AC3 is even officially supported by the mp4 container

Ok, this is getting frustrating... I must be doing something wrong. I'm using the same settings but now using x264. You'll notice that I have "Use Best Decoder" but can confirm that it is using ffdshow, within ffdshow I have set VCI decoding to WMV9.

I started this at 10:34 pm last night, and now its 7:20 am... stating another 6 hours left! Is this normal for an i7 machine? Its using 100% of all cores (8) If this is the norm, thats fine... this is just my first try at this and want to know what to expect.

Hi,

I have noticed interesting thing. When transcoding DVD to MKV(copy audio, X264), jobs done by eac3to are relatively slow in compare with jobs done by x264. When I looked on what is happening, I have found out, that x264 is utilizing CPU on 100%, while eac3to is utilizing CPU only around 8%.

Do you have any idea, why eac3to does not use "whole" CPU? It could be much faster then.

THX

buzzqw

14th August 2009, 15:00

eac3to could be used for audio extraction or anduio encoding or audio piping to other audio encoders...

anyway neither eac3to or other audio encoders (only nero aac iirc) are smp optimized

moreover eac3to can be severly slowdown by disk since it will scan vobs

either way.. try to ask to eac3to thread

This does not make sense at all because:

1) x264 uses all cores - audio encoding will be stealing cpu cycles from x264
2) audio encoding is very fast - it takes less than 4min to encode whole Watchmen track (2h:42min 5.1 ac3 -> 2.0 aac on my Q6600@3ghz)

Hi,
since I remember I've always had troubles with compressing my hdtv recordings. I think I've used all the tools but the results were always same, either the apps crash or the outcome is totally unsatisfactory, the playback is jerky and totally unwatchable.
I put much hope in HDConvertToX but it doesn't work as expected too.
This brings me to the conclusion that maybe there is something wrong with my hdtv recordings or maybe my pc?

So here is my big big request to the pros here to take the sample from the below link and compress it. Maybe someone more experienced will point me what I'm doing wrong.

Here is the link to the original .ts file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/258781135/original.ts

Here is the link to the compressed file 1 (interlaced):
http://rapidshare.com/files/258786059/proba_int.mkv

Here is the link to compressed file 2 (deinterlaced):
http://rapidshare.com/files/258784358/proba_deint.mkv

Both compressed files look very jerky when played back on my samsung lcd, only the original .ts looks ok.

So once again, please, I will be very grateful to everybody who will take some time to examine the files and give me some hints what to do to make it look good!

Thanks in advance!

x264 encodes and when its completed, i get no mkv file.

in the job folder there is, an .h264 file and the ac3 file.

i thougt the problem was, that i have installed mkvtoolnix, but even after deinstalling the same error.

try manually launch vsrip.exe (from \applications folder) and rip the subs

Hi, buzz! Well, when I originally tried it out I had just installed the latest version of the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, which I assumed had all prerequisites (program didn't complain.) After that didn't work, I downloaded each of the prerequisites from the posted links. Still no go. Then I tried installing XP into VirtualBox and installing everything to a brand spanking-new machine, and still got that error. I'm stumped! Clearly I'm doing something wrong...

Hi,

I would like to return to one topic we have discussed already. When transcoding MKV to MKV (e.g. to change MPEG2 to X264), there is problem if source MKV contains subtitles in VobSub format, because eac3to cannot handle this format. Therefore such transcoding will fail, or I can do it, but lost the subtitles, or I can do it manually with mkvextract.

Wouldn't be possible to make the change in HDC, so that it is using eac3to only for subtitles in formats known to eac3to, but in the case of unknown format to use automatically mkvextract?

Thanks!

I thought that procedure was only if you used Windows Media Player or Media Center to decode video, which I don't. I figured other utilities that explicitly used ffdshow (etc) wouldn't need this tweak. I will try it, however, and keep you posted.

concerning AAC, I was just not sure whether 0.2 isn't too less value. Is it enough for example for DVD transcoding from your experience?

Sorry to bother you with another bug.

The avs "plugin" problem is fixed for encoding, but not for previewing.

Also, when you removed all the plugins, and you add resizing, the encoding will fail because avisynth can't find repair.dll (so load that)

Thanks for everyone's help! I finally got it working on Windows 7. I think I know what the issue was. Is anyone interested in a Windows 7 setup guide?

why you cropped odd ? LanczosResize(720,400,0,5,-16,-3)
isn't a good approach

Must have been corrupt mp4box.exe. I replaced it with the one StaxRip is bundled with. and i works fine now.

Found a bug.

When you pick NeroAAC for audio and set a bitrate, if you click on the bitrate management dropdown, the bitrate defaults back to 64k, even if you don't change anything.

Adub

23rd August 2009, 19:12

It's technically not a bug. I have reported a similar issue before and Buzzqw said that it was supposed to happen like that. Personally, I would rather it stayed at the bitrate you set, but that's me (and, it sounds like, you).

Well, before I start working on a Windows 7 guide, I have an interesting issue. I have been converting a BluRay rip off of my hard-drive to "x264 in MKV" for the past few days, and it has drastically slowed down on the second pass of x264. My batch is attached.

The first four lines ran fine, and even the first x264 pass took a decent amount of time. I kicked it off Friday morning, it estimated about 7 hours, and it was done Friday evening. It was moving at about 10fps the entire time if I remember correctly. When it moved on to the second pass, however, it estimated 10 hours at ~7fps.

I let it run over night, and when I came back Saturday morning it was at about 20% and estimated another 20 hours. The fps has dropped drastically.
Sunday morning got it to 50%, but it was only running at just over 1fps, and this morning it's at 68% at 0.60fps.

It's estimating another 29 hours! Why is the second pass so sluggish and getting slower? Is this an issue with x264.exe?

I'm running this on a new Athlon X2 250 3.0Ghz processor, so it seems like something else is wrong. I'm not out of disk space, but it may also be a RAM issue. I have 2GB of RAM in the machine, but Task Manager shows 726MB cached, 693MB available, and 2MB free. x264.exe is using 615MB of RAM, so could it just be a swapping issue because my machine is using too much RAM as cache?

EDIT: I just partially figured out what was going on. I just noticed that the machine is set to go to sleep every 30 minutes. Doh! I haven't gotten standby working correctly yet, so it sounded like it was still on. Silly me. That still doesn't explain why it's going so slowly, though.

post the make report

BHH

rickatnight11

24th August 2009, 19:31

I'm sorry, I don't know what the make report is. The second pass should be finished within the hour, so perhaps I overreacted and it was just the computer going to sleep all along. It's still only running at 0.80fps and 10070.25kb/s. What is the make file that I can post.

buzzqw

24th August 2009, 19:40

in advanced options you find a "Make Report" button
just it when encoding is ended

JUST a BIG HINT: usually very slow encoder is due to:

1) slow preset
2) big resolution
3) directshowsource use

BHH

rickatnight11

24th August 2009, 20:18

Sigh, I accidentally closed it after finishing the encode. Oh well, if I run into the problem again I'll post the report. In the meantime, I need to fix a mistake I made by selecting 2 channels instead of Original. Would the best way to do this be to use HDConvertToX to encode just the audio track and MKVMerge to mux it into my mkv?

whipdancer

25th August 2009, 03:04

I've searched for a how-to, but all of the one's i've found assume you can open the file successfully.

Since I don't have any issues opening a vob file, I'm wondering if it's possible I did something wrong when ripping the BD.

I used anydvd to rip Gran Turino to the local hard drive. Downloaded and installed all the required programs for HDConvertX.

I select the big m2ts file (27GB, 0004.mt2s). It takes what seems to be a second to analyze audio. Then takes a bit longer analyzing the video. I end up with an error message - "Problems analyzing input file."

I then get message in error.png

I've attached the make report file (I clicked it after the error, so I hope it has the info needed) -

I'm new to this, so any tips or advice would be appreciated.

Don't worry
just reload your original file, set your encoding as before and then use the make report. No need to encode it again

Oh well, if I run into the problem again I'll post the report. In the meantime, I need to fix a mistake I made by selecting 2 channels instead of Original. Would the best way to do this be to use HDConvertToX to encode just the audio track and MKVMerge to mux it into my mkv?
just add you source file, set your encoding and add to queue
now delete from queue the line of encoding, when done (just 2 row, plus mkvmerge row) just hit start queue

I've searched for a how-to, but all of the one's i've found assume you can open the file successfully.

your source is VC-1
make sure you have set in ffdshow, as decoder for vc1 the wmv9
also install window media player 11 (or above)

Good call. I rushed ahead (like I always do), encoded the correct audio track, and remuxed a "fixed" mkv. Thanks so much for the help!

Ok, I'm missing something, I think.

I opened up the video decoder configuration for ffdshow. I selected WMV9 for VC-1 (it was "disabled").

I applied. Re-opened it to verify, the value is still there. But I'm still getting the same error.

Anything else I can try? Maybe I didn't install something correctly?

Windows 7 (32-bit) Installation Guide
This guide was created from personal experience on Windows 7 32-bit RTM (build 7600). Your mileage may vary. I used the K-Lite Mega Codec pack, which comes with almost everything you need to get HDConvertToX working.

Uninstall existing versions of K-Lite Codec Pack. I also recommend that you uninstall any of the media tools listed here, such as FFDShow, Haali Media Splitter, etc. This is important to make sure that there are no conflicting settings in K-Lite Codec Pack, and that no other utilities interfere with the pack.
Download the latest version of the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack from http://codecguide.com/download_k-lite_codec_pack_mega.htm (you may also need to download an update that hasn't made it into a full pack. At the time of this guide 5.0.5 was the latest version with an update to bring it to 5.0.8. Download the full Mega pack first before installing an update.
Install the full K-Lite Mega Codec Pack first

In the Select Components section of the installation customize the following options:

Set "DirectShow video decoding filters"-->VC-1 to ffdshow(wmv9)...
...and "DirectShow video decoding filters"-->"MPEG-2, DVD" to ffdshow (libmpeg2)
http://rickatnight11.com/images/screenshots/hdc/hdc_01.jpg
Set "DirectShow source filters"-->"AVI splitter" to Haali
http://rickatnight11.com/images/screenshots/hdc/hdc_02.jpg

Choose whatever options you like in the Additional Tasks section
Do not check any of the boxes at the end of the installation to configure anything

Optional: Install any potential update to the Mega Codec Pack
Download and install Avisynth from http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth%202.5/AviSynth%202.5.8/Avisynth_258.exe/download
Download and install the Preferred Filter Tweaker for Windows 7 utility from http://codecguide.com/windows7_preferred_filter_tweaker.htm

Run the installation from the zip file and set everything to ffdshow
http://rickatnight11.com/images/screenshots/hdc/hdc_03.jpg
Hit Apply, and if you are running 64-bit Windows you will probably get a complaint about 64-bit Windows...hit OK to ignore this, and press Apply again. You should get a confirmation message this time.
Hit finish only after you have gotten a confirmation message after hitting Apply.
Restart the computer

Now lets confirm that ffdshow has VC-1 and MPEG-2 decoding set correctly.

Navigate to Start-->(All)Programs-->K-Lite Codec Pack-->Configuration-->ffdshow video decoder
Select Codecs from the tree on the left
Scroll down the box on the right to ensure that MPEG2 is set to libmpeg2 and VC-1 is set to wmv9
http://rickatnight11.com/images/screenshots/hdc/hdc_04.jpg
Hit OK to save and close ffdshow video decoder

Download HDConvertToX (if you have not already) from the first post in this thread, as well as the updated exe.
Unzip the main program into a specific location, and then unzip the updated exe into the same location, overwriting the old exe.
Enable Compatibility Mode for AVIMux-Gui

From within the HDConvertToX folder navigate to applications
Right-click on AVIMux_GUI.exe and select Properties
From the Compatibility tab check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows XP (Service Pack 2) from the drop-down box
http://rickatnight11.com/images/screenshots/hdc/hdc_05.jpg
Press OK to save and close AVIMux_GUI.exe Properties

You can now run HDConvertToX! On first run (and every other run, for that matter) you should hit the Update HDConvertToX button to update to the latest version

Following this procedure fixed the issue whipdancer reported (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1318228#post1318228) about the Invalid arguments to function "isRGB" when analyzing an m2ts file. I will do my best to provide additional support if this procedure still doesn't help, but I honestly don't know which of the steps fixed my problems. As always, I hope this helps, and feedback is welcome.

My guide should fix your problem then. I believe it's a combination of Windows 7 restricting the DirectShow filters so that ffdshow isn't being used, as well as AVIMux_GUI needing to run in Compatibility mode. Let me know how it goes. I had the exact same problem as you.

whipdancer

27th August 2009, 02:28

Since I've been trying so many different programs to accomplish this, I honestly can't say that I don't have codec conflicts of some kind, somewhere (mostly because I'm still learning this stuff).

I'm going to try rickatnight11's setup and see if that clears it up for me.

If that doesn't do it, i'll likely blow away my current installation and perform a clean Win 7 (X64) install (which is easy because my rips are on a dedicated hd, separate from the install drive).

rickatnight11

27th August 2009, 02:36

I agree, whipdancer. The issues with running this software in Windows 7 are three-fold:

Windows 7 restricts the DirectShow filters, thus requiring the Preferred Filter Tweaker for Windows 7 tool to force ffdshow into the mix
AVIMUX-GUI needs to be run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 2)
In ffdshow VC-1 must be decoded with wmv9 and MPEG-2 with libmpeg2

Woohoo! Successfully analyzed the m2ts file.

Now we'll see how it goes.

Um, any thoughts on how long it should take to convert to a WMVHD format? (Gran Torino is the movie).

rickatnight11

Woohoo! Successfully analyzed the m2ts file.

Now we'll see how it goes.

Um, any thoughts on how long it should take to convert to a WMVHD format? (Gran Torino is the movie).
Glad it worked out! Converting will greatly depend on your computer specs, especially the processor. It's difficult to give an estimate, since it took me three days to figure out that my machine kept on entering standby. The process that takes the longest is the video encode, obviously.

I followed Adub's guide to convert a BluRay rip to x264 in mkv. On an Athlon II X2 250 3.0Ghz processor, the first x264 pass took about 7 hours, and I estimate that the second pass took between 10-15 hours. Tack on an extra hour or two for the audio encode, subtitle extraction/conversion, and final muxing, and my process probably took about 24 hours of actual work.

I should have done it on my primary gaming machine, which has a Phenom X4 9950BE processor, but it's in my bedroom, and I didn't want the fan noise all night(s). From minor tests it looks like that encodes just about twice as fast (rough estimate from some bitrate tests. My HTPC encoded at a steady 10MB/s, and my gamer seemed to encode at over 20MB/s.)

My gaming machine has an XFX Geforce GTX260 BE, and the HTPC has a Gigabyte Geforce 9600GT. I just got a license for NVTools, and I am interested to see what kind of speed increases I get (if any). I may just do the same encode again on both machines, and use the NVTools decoder to offload the processing to the GPU. It looks like HDConvertToX will run the audio decoding on the CPU and the video decoding on the GPU in parallel, which I think is badass.

In any case, your mileage may vary depending on your hardware. You'll want to kick of the batch before you go to bed. Hope this helps.

Question about your guide: I use my PC as a ATSC TV tuner, and I had heard that switching your preferred MPEG2 codec from MS to anything else will break Windows Media Center live TV function. Is that still true?
Yes, I believe it is. Can you try all steps in the guide except for changing the preferred filter for MPEG-2? I'm interested to see if that is even a necessary step.

I'm running a Phenom II X4 955BE @ 3.5Ghz, 6GB ram.

I'm encoding to WMV in an attempt to be able to play it on my XBOX360 (my regular DVD's i've been doing with handbrake to mp4).

For this test I set video to 1 pass quality with a value of 85. I'll see how it goes.

For audio it looks like I ended up with 2ch. I'll have to try to get 5.1 in the next test.

Thanks for all the help.

Nice processor! :) That's my next CPU if AMD doesn't come out with anything new soon. I recommend doing 2-pass for the actual encode. I'd also recommend you stick with mp4s as well, but that's up to you. Let me know how it rolls!

Good News. Setting both h264 and MPEG2 to FFDshow did NOT break live TV. I fired up MC, clicked Live TV, and it sat there for about 30 seconds "Searching for Tuners". Then it appeared, changing channels was ok, so no worries.

Whipdancer: I was in the same boat you were in with regards to XBOX360 and ripping my DVDs. I had my entire DVD collection ripped to VC1 WMV with WMA5.1 audio. Then I got a PS3, and non of the audio in any of those files would play (but the video would). Thus I embarked on my quest for the all in one everything goes format for both consoles that will get me the best video quality with the best audio quality. Here's what I've landed on, after probably almost 2 years of search and troubleshooting.

Encode to H264/AVC with AC3/DTS in the m2ts container. PS3 supports this natively (no transcoding required). I use the PS3 Media Server for my DLNA server, and it transcodes for XBOX360 dash board now very nicely. Also, if you're using XBOX360 as a Media Center Extender, your Windows 7 box will transcode the files on the fly to the extender for playback. Video Quality is heavily dependant on your PCs processor, but from the look of things, that won't be a problem for you. Standard Definition DVDs come through my network to my extenders very nicely, but 1080P HD content definitely suffers. I think 720p comes through fine on my quad core phenom 9550 2.2 ghz.

Just some advice from one 360 user to another. WMV is great, but file sizes are about twice as large as avc, and compatibility with other devices sucks.

Happy encoding!

I am having an issue with NVTools (NVbeta8). I have the license already, and, when I go to start the batch, the "DGAVCIndexNV.exe" application does pop up, but nothing is visible in the windows. It completes much too quickly in my opinion, and the final mkv is never created. I checked the "job1" folder, and it looks like the audio and subtitles encoded just fine, but the video didn't (mp4 file is 3MB, while the h264 file is 0KB.) I've attached everything I thought was helpful.

EDIT1: Check out the "batch.txt" attachment I just added. I looks like the command to call CUVIDServer.exe can't handle spaces in the path name. It needs quotes around it like the other lines.

EDIT2: The next problem I notice is that, when the batch runs CUVIDServer.exe it doesn't move to the next command. I believe this is because that process is supposed to run in the background while the next command runs, but the nature of batch files doesn't really allow that, as the next line will only execute, when the previous line completes. Since the server is still running, the line has not completed. I got around this issue by running CUVIDServer.exe on my own (or just closing the batch and running it again). It looks like HDConvertToX will need to run the CUVIDServer prior to executing the queue batch, or figure out a way to move onto the next line.

I do have a question about NVTools, however. I thought that it would be used to perform the actual encode on the GPU, but that notion seems to be wrong as x264 runs just like normal, flogging the CPU just like normal. Perhaps I am missing the point of using NVTools.

Perhaps I am missing the point of using NVTools. Apparently so. My NV tools are decoders, not encoders. I made them for these reasons:

1. To get fully correct decoding for AVC, MPEG2, and VC-1 streams.

2. To get access to the PureVideo deinterlacer.

3. To get cropping/resizing on the GPU.

4. With decoding, deinterlacing, and cropping/resizing all offloaded to the GPU, more processor is made available for the CPU-based encoding. How much of a gain you might see depends on how much of your processing you can offload and how powerful your processor is. Remember that decoding is a fraction of the load of encoding, so you should not expect massive gains by offloading just the decoding.

rickatnight11

27th August 2009, 14:23

I understand now. Thanks for explaining! I guess if the encoding were to take place on the GPU, the actual encoding tool (x264 in this case) would need to support it, wouldn't it?

@buzzqw
When XviD is selected as encoder and "Anamorphic Shape" is ticked, -par x:y should be calculated and included in the command line for the encoder (similar to --sar for x264).

http://forum.doom9.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=10223&stc=1&d=1251438416

but mediainfo said its progressive. Which one should I go for?

Also adubs guide asks to use "Force directshowsource 2" will this work the best? Will it work with multithread avisynth?

Lastly is there a way to find out if you choose 1 pass encoding as to what the final size would be with

X264 in Mkv
1 pass quality
Crf value 20
extreme quality

thanks

Adub

29th August 2009, 00:20

Yes it will work with Multi-Threaded Avisynth. As for if it is "best" is mostly dependent upon if you are having issues analyzing your source or not. If you can't analyze your source using the defaults, then use DSS2.

The thing with 1-pass encoding is that you DON'T know how big the final size will be. Period. If you are worried about file sizes, then use 2 pass.

Ok, so I'm able to analyze and start the process. I've switched and am encoding with H.264 to MP4, 2 pass, AC3 sound.

It looks like everything is working. First pass takes about 4 hours, second pass takes about 6 hours.

Everything looked ok, until the command window closes and there is no MP4 file. I look in the job0 folder and see a 6GB file with h264 extension. The ac3 file is still there as well.

Did I not wait long enough? I thought when the command window closed that it was done.

Is there a specific file that I can look at to see what all has gone on? (I ask because there are several different files that when I open, look like log files to me).

rickatnight11

29th August 2009, 05:38

Hm, since it's a batch, it's difficult to figure out what happened. Can you attach the batch here? If you want the window to stay open, letting you see all of the messages, you can run it manually from a command prompt. You'll have to wait another 10 hours though, so you might try editing the batch file manually and removing the encoding lines. Since you already have the finished video and audio files, the other lines should create the MP4 file.

I have changed files I am trying to encode, but this time I cannot encode audio at which point encoding fails.
Could you edit your posts to make the report files txt attachments? Including them in CODE tags kinda ruins the page.

That being said, can you describe the error that is being thrown? If you want to run the batch in "verbose mode", open up a command prompt, navigate to the directory of your job (eg. "whatever/HDConvertToX/job1") and run queue.bat from there. This will keep the window open afterwards so that you can read any results and post them here.

I have a strange problem, after some using of HDC, application always stuck at same point during encoding, so I need to extract rar file again.
Where is it getting stuck, and what rar are you talking about extracting again?

You can't attach them they then sit there waiting approval. After audio encoding fails then x264 starts and fails. So it seems an error originating from audio encode.

That's strange. I haven't had any issue attaching txt files or images. Oh well.

Actually, the audio encode and video code have nothing to do with each other until the final command which muxes them together. It sounds like the batch is having an issue communicating with the source. Either the source is messed up (not likely) or the parameters in the batch are a bit screwy (more likely.) I'll look through your batch more carefully, but I'm not very knowledgeable about the actual encoding parameters. You'll probably need one of the experts to diagnose this one for you.

EDIT: Something's awry with your audio and subtitle detection in the first report file. Your's looks like this:
Full Audio List-> (*** mean selected)
NONE
*** 80: ??? (AC3 2ch, 0xBD 0x80) [0]

-> End Full Audio List

Full Subtitle List-> (*** mean selected)
*** NONE
??? 0 (0xBD 0x20) [0]

-> End Full Subtitle List
...while mine looked like this:
Full Audio List-> (*** mean selected)
NONE
*** 2: ac3, english, 2.0 channels, 192kbps, 48khz, dialnorm: -27db

-> End Full Audio List

Full Subtitle List-> (*** mean selected)
*** NONE
3: subtitle (pgs), japanese
*** 4: subtitle (pgs), english
5: subtitle (pgs), french
6: subtitle (pgs), italian
7: subtitle (pgs), dutch
8: subtitle (pgs), spanish
9: subtitle (pgs), portuguese

-> End Full Subtitle List
I don't know what's up with your second batch. Make sure you're running the latest version of HDConvertToX, but maybe one of the prerequisite programs is installed incorrectly. Hope this helps any experts diagnose your issue.

If you don't want command prompt to close after (unsuccesfull) encoding I suggest to just write "pause" in last line. ツ

Like this...

"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\applications\eac3to.exe" "d:\ ....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\applications\x264.exe" --pass 1....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\job0\hdconverttox_00004.h264....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\applications\x264.exe" --pass 2....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\job0\hdconverttox_00004.h264" "C:\....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\applications\eac3to.exe" 1:....
"C:\Program Files (x86)\hdconvert\applications\mp4box.exe"....

color 0a
pause

Command "color 0a" is just to colorize text in console in green when all actions are finished...
(that way you know when all actions are finished) ツ

The second to last line (that runs eac3to.exe) from your original batch is supposed to, but you'll notice that something is wrong with it: there is no source file, only the destination. For whatever reason, HDConvertToX isn't generating that line correctly.

Any idea what the correct syntax should be?

I would think maybe the ac3 file? There's also an MBTREE file, but I've not idea what that is for.

Crono141

29th August 2009, 22:19

Whipdancer, just so you know, neither PS3 nor Xbox 360 support AC3 audio inside the MP4 container, unless something has changed very recently that I'm not aware of.

Whipdancer, just so you know, neither PS3 nor Xbox 360 support AC3 audio inside the MP4 container, unless something has changed very recently that I'm not aware of.

I'm aware.

But, I'm going to do some testing with different media servers and I want to test it both with AC3 and AAC-LC.

whipdancer

29th August 2009, 22:40

Ok, so I think I found the syntax for it. Let's see if this works.

Basically I modified the 4th command in the bat file, adding the original m2ts file so that it reads something like...

eac3to orignal.m2ts 1: chapters.txt

It created a chapters.txt file for me, so i'm going re-run the final command in the batch file and see how that goes.

whipdancer

29th August 2009, 22:57

Ok, that worked.

I've got a 6.88GB mp4 file.

However, I get no sound. I'm going to dig around in this thread some more, but if anyone has any tips on what I should check - please pass them along.

Thanks for all the help! So close to getting this working smoothly.

Let me clarify - I did the sound as AC3 (not AAC).

Adub

30th August 2009, 00:20

AC3 in the mp4 container is a relatively new standard. If you are having troubles playing it, either update your player to the newest version or just use AAC.

Thanks. I found some other comments to that effect as well and am trying AAC now.

One thing I'm not clear on with regard to the video encoding options.

Under X264 options, I select -

Encode using: X264 in MP4
Encoding mode: 2 pass

I select Extreme quality on the slider

I enter 8000 in "Manually Set Bitrate:"

Does entering a bitrate over-ride any of the other settings? Should I choose a higher bitrate, or is there some other way of achieving as high a quality as possible?

flebber

30th August 2009, 04:26

After deleting all HDC folder and settings, I reinstalled HDC and updated and now it is working again :o . The audio detection still shows as ?? Ac3 though but it processes so its a bit so what just seems strange for a common format file. Quick question is there anyway to import chapters from vob to use in encode?

The ??? means, I think, that its unable to determine what language the track is in.

Whipdancer: for 2 pass, I think you enter what file size you want the movie to be, then it determines the highest VBR to achieve that filesize. I think you want to leave the manual bit rate field blank.

Yeah it must be language on that audio, just curiosity as it encodes fine.

Does anyone know where the hidden options txt file went? I am want to have HDC automatically import chapters from DVD. Since I reinstalled I can't seem to find it.

Edit forget it I am livin in the past, hidden options were removed in favour of editing the ini file.:o

Assorted answer

thanks rickatnight11 for your guide!
linked in first post

For audio it looks like I ended up with 2ch. I'll have to try to get 5.1 in the next test.
remember to select an audio preset with 5.1. Specifying channels on wmv isn't possibile

EDIT1: Check out the "batch.txt" attachment I just added. I looks like the command to call CUVIDServer.exe can't handle spaces in the path name. It needs quotes around it like the other lines.

thanks. fixed in next update

buzz I am doing a blue ray rip of my media and the interlace test of 5% gives me this
select "Mixed Interlaced/Telecine"

@flebber
don't use dss2 with vob source. it's near useless, better to stick with dgindex

and... yes, ??? mean unable to determine language

Everything looked ok, until the command window closes and there is no MP4 file. I look in the job0 folder and see a 6GB file with h264 extension. The ac3 file is still there as well.
i'll check why chapter isn't extracted
i will need the full make report

Bug with DGToolsNV?
When opening the Video_ts.ifo and selecting the PGC for indexing, it appears that DGMPGindexNV indexes the first *.vob only.
(The standard DGMPGindex spans all *.vobs correctly)

Buzzqw I was trying to make sure the profiles enabled fast first pass in 2 pass mode for new profiles as it seems that the pass I am getting in first pass is slow.

from http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings#fast_1st_pass I was trying to set pass settings. So that my first pass runs with these settings

fast 1st pass

With the advent of the Preset system in r1177, using pass 1 applies the following settings at the end of parsing the command line:

* ref 1
* no-8x8dct
* partitions i4x4 (if originally enabled, else none)
* me dia
* subme Min(2,subme) (if original value is greater than 2, change it to 2, else do nothing)
* trellis 0
and my 2nd pass with

--preset slow --level 4.1 --bframes 5 --subme 6 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --deblock -1:-1 --vbv-bufsize 50000 --vbv-maxrate 50000

Is this possible ?

Hi,

I Would like to know in future, if you will add "addborders" preset automatic for 720p (1280x720) and 1080p (1920x1080) and will respect aspect ratio?

It's an suggestion :D

Ok, so that the clueless people like myself can play along as well, my next movie that I'm doing the "The Game Plan".

This BD comes with a bunch of little m2ts files, unfortunately. I did some searching and came across a recommendation for TSmuxer to combine the m2ts files into a single.

I did that and am using HDC to analyze and convert that single m2ts file.

We'll see how it goes.

Buzzqw I was trying to make sure the profiles enabled fast first pass in 2 pass mode for new profiles as it seems that the pass I am getting in first pass is slow.

the current build of x264 has "turbo" mode in first pass ALWAYS.
It's disabled by specifing "--slow-first-pass"
HDC will use turbo in first pass.

Generally the main movie is only one of those m2ts files. The rest are the bonus extras on the disk. Your call, though.

Apparently this is one of those BD movies that doesn't have a single m2ts file for the main movie. It's got about 100 different m2ts files, the largest of which is about 2gb in size.

Whipdancer how did you enable HDC to read the IFO chapter files?

It does it automatically. Just be sure to select the IFO file when converting your DVD.

Whipdancer how did you enable HDC to read the IFO chapter files?

Are you referring to when I convert a DVD? I simply select the Video_TS.ifo (i think that's it) when picking the file. After that I get a prompt from HDC indicating that it's analyzed the ifo file and found the movie/soundtrack.

It does it automatically. Just be sure to select the IFO file when converting your DVD.

So when I select Multi Episodes DVD it will automatically read episode chapter files and apply them to muxed output without enabling anything? Or do I need to enable autochapter in hidden options?

just select your vts_xxxx.ifo

autochapter is in hdconverttox.ini...

Hey Guys,

you are using DirectShowSource.
Most probably dss isn't feeding frames to encoder.
make sure you have a working decoder for your video

so if I change my ini to autochapter=1 then extracted chapters from vts.ifo will be automaticaly applied to final output during muxing?

in advanced options there is the autochapter check

BUT if you want that autochapter is alwasy ON, you must use the ini

anyway, you don't have to check autochapter when working with ifo.
select the correct ifo and hdc will extract the chapter file

if you check autochapter it will overwrite the chapters of dvd

As someone who just spent about an hour adding 26 episodes to a queue, I must second Chengbin's request. I'll be doing something similar with a 50+ episode set of anime, and I'm not looking forward to the queueing.

Any possibility of mirroring MediaCoder's queue system, or something similar?

But not ripbot's. Takes way to damn long to analyze, and you have to do it one at a time. Blarg... :D

buzzqw

3rd September 2009, 07:39

buzzqw, could you add a function to HDC?

Could you allow multiple videos to be loaded at once? Many times I have to cut a video into multiple parts (as many as 86 once). It is NOT fun building a 86 job queue in HDC (took an hour). You don't need to analyze a script anyway.

Even for videos, a bulk analyze is much more sane (for the lack of better word). This is especially helpful if I'm encoding multiple videos with the same settings.

Oh, don't tell me to use Avisynth, because I need to use different settings for them.

Thanks.

Could I ask for what I hope would be an easy feature to add, an option to apply audio gain to a source. Would be great for that occassional source I get with not much volume.

Not really gonna happen. Because how will any program know "automatically" what is "just the right amount of volume". You may be able to get away with a volume boost and normalization, but certainly no "auto gain".

Yeah I agree, I don't want auto gain I want to be able to specify how much gain I want to apply.

Hi buzz I have a problem. Currently all DVD encodes fine but bluray rips dont work. They seem to encode but in the middle somewhere they stop encoding. First episode I tried gave me this visual basic error saying x264 wanted to terminate unexpectedly around 11%. Then tried the second episode which gave me no error. It seemed to complete first pass but had almost a 0kb file for video in the temp directory. I will post some after I try again with updated version but can you advise me what I should try? I will post make report.

One more feature request on quick queueing: I have a multi-episode DVD with separate PGCs in one IFO. Any way to queue up all the episodes? Also, with multi-file queuing, any way to set output directory other than alter the settings file. Also, when queuing up multi-episodes, can we specify our own filename prefix (such as "Episode") and have it automagically add a tag (like -1, -2, etc). Also, with this option, it would be nice to have the option of telling HDC what number to start incrementing by (like if I've done 1 DVD that had the last episode of 5, can I start the next disc IFO increment at 6, etc).

You've done a great job on this application. Its already leaps and bounds better than any pay software I've ever seen. You're awesome. :thanks:

EDIT: Also, when DVD source is multi-episode IFO, I have to click open file and analyze for each episode. Why can't I just hit analyze again (since its the same source IFO file), and pick the next PGC in the list?

Hi,

im having an trouble with an project i made with version 2.1.458.3528. After project done with this settings:
- X264 in M2TS
- 1080P setting 23.967
- AC3 640kbps audio
2 pass,

when burning the AVCHD structure and play in my Sony Bluray reader, the movie make mosaics all the time. I reconveted an second time and still make the same. If i convert the file with another program (ripbot264) audio was out of sync but the video 1080p not make mosaics. Your programs was perfectly sync the audio but the burning results is bad.

Could you help me please?

you could have more input file with the same name but with different extensions

I still don't think that's a valid reason to add prefix to all filenames.

@buzzqw
DG NV Tools now support deinterlacing via GPU.
I am basically fine with manually modifying the hdconverttox_... .avs like:
DGSource("C:\.... path .....\movie.dgm", deinterlace=1) in order to enable the GPU deinterlacing. However you may want to think about adding in future an "DG NV GPU deinterlace" in the De-interlace filters list.

Hi,

I have been using automkv for many years and have checked in on HDConvertToX from time to time. I really like the program, but the one thing that is lacking for me is control over the order of audio tracks when doing mkvs with two or more audio tracks. I always prefer my native language as default audio track and original language as audio track no 2. This was easy in automkv, but is not possible in HDConvertToX as far as i can see.

Especially for the WAF and for kid's movies they would like to not have to know how to change audio track if the first arbitrary audio track is not what they want.

I know I can use MKVtoolnix afterwards to reassort the order of audi tracks, but this is an extra step that would be much more practical if HDConvertToX could do instead. Is there any hope of you including this in in the program please?
Thanks for two excellent programs!

Regards,
rikryk

Run time is 0:0:1. The Video format, Container, and Display AR are filled in. The eac3to.exe program opens for a few seconds in a DOS window. Clicking the Preview button open the Classic Media Player with a file not found error. The media player can play the source file.

from Sharc test the difference in DECODING is negligible. The HUGE advantage is correct decoding of source

Hi Buzzqw:
So it's txmuxer make the bug after the conversion is done? Because if i plan in my pc movie converted, everything fine. If i burn and play on my bluray, making mosaics!

And thanks for you software, i really like it!

I have idea for that case:
movies and audio tracks are left in job0 folder in hdconverttox program, i cant remux with an latest version of txmuserGUI that the project will be corrected?

Thanks!

question: deinterlace=1 is for interlaced source or for ivtc ?

Where do I find this new beta?

deinterlace=1 is for interlaced source.

From the manual:

deinterlace: 0/1/2 (default: 0)

Nvidia PureVideo Deinterlacer
0: no deinterlacing
1: single rate deinterlacing
2: double rate deinterlacing (bobbing)

Note that double rate deinterlacing requires Windows XP SP3!

Also note that setting deinterlace to 1 or 2 forces the field operation to be "Ignore Pulldown", regardless of the project setting.

(Actually GPU resizing is also supported. One would however have to crop with DGIndex in order to ensure that cropping is done before the GPU resizing)

Hi,

Finally, after remuxed video and audio tracks, the video still making mosaics. I will reconvert the movie with ripbot264 and remuxed video and audio file with tsmuxerGUI to resync the audio and check out if it's an encoding trouble.

Could this have something to do with it? I only have 2GB ram. So ram usage hits about 3gb when converting from bluray. Could this be a problem. I am thinking if this is so then my PC should hang. other apps keep doing their work without any problems. I have tried converting numerous times so dont know what the problem is???? Help

I was asking if there is any point in purchasing a license for nvtools to convert movies quicker. CAn you explain in detail.

isn't a matter of quickness (even if present a little speedup) but of correctness of decoding

what the problem is
why using much ram is a problem ? (and.. moreover why is a problem of a GUI and not of x264.exe)

x264 should use the ram needed, with mbtree more.. but.. it's within the mechanics of x264 how much ram to use

i tune already the avs with a setmemorymax, but i cannot cap the ram used by x264

ask on x264 thread

very good and detailed report.

with my test (and i will not share the inputs/settings) it works

BHH

I still can't.

If I just select a whole bunch of files, it would not recognize the audio track at all.

If I select 1 file, it will recognize the audio track, then I select multiple files and press assume same properties as previous. Then all the files will get the audio track from the first file selected.

Chengbin, read your post and assume how i would guess your problem.

multiple queue works for homogeneous kind of files (all avi, all mpeg, all mkv..)

And they're all AVI, everything is the same except the number of frames. I chose copy audio for all of them.

Hi all, I've been away from encoding for a while..
I came back and the old great AutoMKV is superseeded by this new HDC. I tried it, and it seems to work well.
But I've some questions / suggestions:

1)
HDC doesn't say anything when it finishes:
I know it has finished because the cmd window closes, but it would be more clear if you write something in HDC status bar... See "encoding in progress" for a finished encode can be confusing, maybe, for somebody...

2)
In file size , AutoMKV had "presets" , like 1 CD , 2 CD, 1/4 DVD ...
Can you bring back them in HDC? Choose 1/4 dvd is simpler than calculate the right size as 4,7E9 bytes / 1024^2 and stuff like that.... For now, I just use 1100 MB

3)
I just need to do avi-xvid from DVD ...
With AutoMKV you said the "right size" could be 1/4 DVD...
Is it right size also now ?
Do i need to change something else in default options to do better encoding for this ? Filters?

4)
A test movie, encoded with both handbrake and hdc, gave me

If I look in file properties on win xp
- handbrake: 714*554
- hdc: 712*384
If I take a vlc snapshot, I have for handbrake a jpg of 1015*554
vlc snapshot for hdc movie is equal, 712*384

I think it could be related to handbrake that used anamorphic while hdc not, but can you tell me what has happened ?

With vlc handbrake movie seems bigger size, but looking properties the 2 movie are almost equal width ...
Or maybe file properties are wrong ?

The new beta doesn't encode audio when you select multiple files.

And they're all AVI, everything is the same except the number of frames. I chose copy audio for all of them.

very good and detailed report.

Chengbin, Buzzqw is asking for some detailed information maybe a make report or detailed description of the audio file. Why mot use media info or someting to provide this. If your not putting any effort into posting details wht should Buzzqw(or anyone else) put effort into assisting you?

@Sharc

please try new beta

Analyze ok, but HDC crashes as soon as I press "Add to Queue". This is independent if I select "NVTools Deinterlace" or not. So I doubt if the crash is related to this newly introduced function.
I can't produce a report after crashing.

you can update whatever applications you want
BUT remember that i cannot guarantee compatibility

Hi buzzqw;

I've reconvert with Ripbot264, separate the audio and video m2ts (video+audio), took the video and audio track and remux in AVCHD with TsMuxer (same version) and work 100%.

So, it was an problem with HDConvertToX x264 encoding trouble. I don't have updated x264.exe file, just left everthing has downloaded from your update buttom.

I just report it, probably something wrong in the encoding process. Ripbot264 was pretty an software like you, it use x264 and everything like you. I don't know if x264 version is the same. If you need, i can update the x264 file, reconvert it and reburn it... i scrapp overt 6 dvd-dl already, so one more, we can check if problem persist.

Thanks for your time and help ;-)

After multiple testing, I found that HDC can't recognize audio from AVIs. I've tried multiple AVIs. MKVs work perfectly though.

i got 2 problem on latest verison.
at first, i choose "force dg nvtools" , but do not use agpu.
2. im using 64bit win7 but cant use 64bit x264 on hdconvertox.
what is the solitions ?

HDC will not allow copy audio for AVI input, expecially with multiple queue.

HDC will allow copy audio if you ALLOW remuxing in MKV

If you use multiple AVI files you cannot copy audio, only reencoding it.

1)HDC doesn't say anything when it finishes:
I know it has finished because the cmd window closes, but it would be more clear if you write something in HDC status bar... See "encoding in progress" for a finished encode can be confusing, maybe, for somebody...

Hi paolo193!

HDC hasn't control of queue after it started. HDC know when encoding start BUT not when finished. That's why you will never see a prompt about "Encoding Finished"

2)In file size , AutoMKV had "presets" , like 1 CD , 2 CD, 1/4 DVD ...
Can you bring back them in HDC? Choose 1/4 dvd is simpler than calculate the right size as 4,7E9 bytes / 1024^2 and stuff like that.... For now, I just use 1100 MB

i will look, i cannot promise :)

3)I just need to do avi-xvid from DVD ...
With AutoMKV you said the "right size" could be 1/4 DVD...
Is it right size also now ?
Do i need to change something else in default options to do better encoding for this ? Filters?

STOP! it's impossible to know the "good" size of dvd without encoding and study it.

if you want a good encoding just use a quality encoding

4)A test movie, encoded with both handbrake and hdc, gave me
If I look in file properties on win xp
- handbrake: 714*554
- hdc: 712*384

maybe handbrake tagged mkv with different resolution.
you can check it reopening mkv with mkvtoolnix (mmg.exe)
and check the propierties

Analyze ok, but HDC crashes as soon as I press "Add to Queue". This is independent if I select "NVTools Deinterlace" or not. So I doubt if the crash is related to this newly introduced function.

i am totally unable to replicate Sharc.
please try to give me some more information
Hi buzzqw;

my only doubt is about subtitles, x264 should provide the same encoding with both gui.

could you compare subtitles of both encoding? are these file different?

i got 2 problem on latest verison.
at first, i choose "force dg nvtools" , but do not use agpu.
2. im using 64bit win7 but cant use 64bit x264 on hdconvertox.
what is the solitions ?

1) have you the NVtool license ?
2) for using 64bit x264 you should use avisynth and all filters at 64bit
that's not a problem of HDC (since it's a gui for other applications)
