Thanks. You are updating at Formula 1 speed ...:)

[buzzqw]

just added 1 line of code :)

[rickhtoo]

try redonwload HDC (and use Film NTSC)





Still the same.... Creates the encode normally but when played back I just get a black screen for video... I have tried all possible Deint methods, but still the same results. Very strange that AutoMKV produces video but HDC only a black screen.. Any other ideas? :confused:

Thanks Buzz

[alter4]

Feature request.

Buzzqw, could you please add "direct stream copy" feature for audio (as now it is for video).
I am encoding mpeg 2 video with mp3 audio inside, there is no reason to encode audio again.

[Havokdan]

Alter4, I think HDC already has that option.

Yes it does, just select copy audio from audio tab

Where can I put it so you can have access to it? Image Shack apparently doesn't allow vob files..

Rick

[rickhtoo]

How can I edit the ac3 files created in the temp folder? Soundforge doesn't have that option, and Audacity will not open it even though it works with ac3 files..

Thanks

Well actually it does support vob, but converts them to mp4 when uploaded, do I guess that won't help..

Rick

[buzzqw]

use mediafire.com or rapidshare.com

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, it is happening. Example:

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\

[Mrsash]

Buzz did some video songs from vob to MKV but got bigger files with one pass? Go figure

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?
thanks

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.

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

[alter4]

Yes it does, just select copy audio from audio tab
Oops! Shame on me. I really didn't notice it. :thanks:

[burfadel]

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.

[alter4]

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.

@alter

is a very short vob ?

Shall do that soon. But heres something interesting.

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.

Yes, it does!:thanks:
But launching separate file is not suitable. Could you integrate it?

[rubinus]

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.

[buzzqw]

:confused: what do you mean ?

launching visualcrop alone ?

could you please post a sample m2ts ? (50/100 mb)

ok, i tryed it, and it's working beautiful with ntsc deint

please try opening hdconvert_xxx.avs in virtualdub

do you got any errors ?

BHH

@buzzqw
For some not clear reason when I press "a visual crop", occurred nothing, I should manually launch HDConvertToX.exe.
I reboot my PC - now is ok

[buzzqw]

visualcrop will work with hdc, not alone

visualcrop check for some file created by hdc.. otherwise.. nothing happen

Here you are:

http://rapidshare.com/files/244793581/00049.m2ts.html
1920x1080 50i 25p (Digital Cinema), 17Mbps VBR
(this behaves progressive when playing on PC)

http://rapidshare.com/files/244797351/00050.m2ts.html
1920x1080 50i, 13 Mbps VBR
(this behaves interlaced on PC)

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

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

Thx for reply.

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)

thanks

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

@buzzqw
Another issue concerning a temp dir.
I try to change temp dir via UI on "utilities" tab.
When I use button "Set working directory" - temp directory changes
When I edit field with path to temp dir by hand (type it manually) - temp directory doesn't change (hdc 1.8.368.3109)

thanks, i'll check

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?

the compression test is based on ACTUAL RESIZE (so autocrop only)
and qualityu would be more then 75%, probably near 90%

And BTW, does this function in vista/w7?
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

the first pass will be at crf you set, the second pass at bitrate crf pass got

you should be able to see in temp folder both temporary files

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)

ok, i tryed it, and it's working beautiful with ntsc deint

please try opening hdconvert_xxx.avs in virtualdub

do you got any errors ?

BHH

I am at a loss for words. It works perfectly now.... I must have tried a dozen times and never got video, but it works fine now..
Must have been a glitch of some type. Maybe a restart fixed it, not sure what to think. Nevermind.. :rolleyes:

Thanks!

Yes but the source is NTSC which is 720x480, So should it not show source if no change is made especially with crop?

[jsa]

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

i will look if possibile to add projectx support

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

on d2v/dga input hdc will ask for external subtitles

I have unistalled CCCP codec pack and installed pure ffdshow. Now the resolution seems to be ok.

However - after reencoding the output still containg blocking. You wrote its decoding problems of dgavcdec - how can i resolve it?
