HDConvertToX v. 3.0 (14/10/2010)

[buzzqw]

I was wondering then considering audio is encoded first should'nt HDC be able to calculate the rest for video to fill?
only if hdc could compute the audio bitrate, otherwise when encoding start hdc will not know the audio size and so tune the bitrate


You said move HDC to folder/drive further. But how will this work? I have videos lets say on drive D and want the resulting video on drive G are you saying move HDC to drive G and then it will default to drive G for saving resulting videos? This is a bit cumbersome approach I think.

i said that user should select the output folder, or accept that hdc will save output file in own folder

good to know!

may i link your guide in first post ?

BHH

Absolutely.

[rickhtoo]

Do you, perhaps use the "Set Start/End frames" in DVD Shrink's reauthor mode ? It is known to be buggy and make audio go out of sync.

These are straight full dvd rips to DVD5. I copy them to a folder and encode them. Many times I have tried with HDC and gotten out of sync audio. When I switch to AutoMKV, it makes a perfect encode with properly sync'd audio.

Unfortunately, that's not the only problems I experience using HDC. Very few times have I gotten a usable encode. Most of the encodes I've done have choppy/eratic frames when panning, and jagged edges on moving objects. It could be that I just don't know the right settings to use. I never try to do any cropping or resizing, and just want a simple encode to x264. I also just copy the audio. Maybe it would work better if I converted the audio to another format? Being used to AutoMKV, Nothing needs changing, I have it set for Constant Quality to the MKV container.

I'm at a loss to explain my inability to use HDC successfully, I haven't seen any other posts about these issues.. Encoding my DVD collection to MKV for my WDTV is the only reason I'm trying to use it..

@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

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.

1) image are extracted using directshowsource, make sure you don't have a resizer applied

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= ...)

[alter4]

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

@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.

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.

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

BHH

[Sharc]

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)

[buzzqw]

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...

BHH

[Sharc]

Yes, you would have to multiply the visual crop values by 2, but looking forward to your approach. No hurry.

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 nice, added in next update (feel free to redownload hdcoverttox.exe)

BUT the pause.. sorry, users will complain about it.

you should add it manually

BHH

[feanor12]

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:

pause

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

I really like this modifiable queue in HDC!! :thanks:

@feanor

the bug of mkv input file with mpeg2 video codec is fixed.. redownload hdc :)

[marklar]

BUT the pause.. sorry, users will complain about it.

BHH

its OK for me, if you or others do not like it ;)

:thanks:

[buzzqw]

i like it too! .. but it's better not to add it, many users don't know what "pause" do...

BHH

[feanor12]

@feanor

the bug of mkv input file with mpeg2 video codec is fixed.. redownload hdc :)

BHH

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).

[rickhtoo]

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
command line: "C:\DVD\HDC\applications\eac3to.exe" "c:\dvd\title_in.mkv" 4:"C:\DVD\temp\title_in_mkv\hdencodertox__subs_4.sup"

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

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..

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

[marklar]

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

BHH

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.

[buzzqw]

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

BHH

[Havokdan]

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.

[buzzqw]

... could you make an example ?

(sorry pal, i haven't understud..)

BHH

[Havokdan]

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]

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]

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.

[marklar]

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

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.

[toology]

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.

[Chengbin]

buzzqw

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?

[Adub]

Post your script.

[Adub]

Hey buzz,

I installed K Lite Codec Pack 32 and 64 and used the tool you linked to set everything to ffdshow.

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

[rickhtoo]

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

[buzzqw]

@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

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 :)

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

Chengbin:
Are you manually overriding your .AVS file? How did you get Lanczos4Resize?

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