HDConvertToX v. 3.0 (14/10/2010)

[awvickers]

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.

Thanks

[buzzqw]

try something faster, slower preset isn't mean to be fast

with 7000 bitrate you can achieve good results with Medium preset

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]

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

BHH

[Chengbin]

buzzqw, any opinion on the idea of running audio encoding and video encoding at the same time for 1 pass encoding? Sometimes I can encode a video almost as fast as the audio when I encode for iPod.

[buzzqw]

it could be dangerous..
i suggest to add to queue the job AND manually add START in the same line of audio encoding

buzzqw, any opinion on the idea of running audio encoding and video encoding at the same time for 1 pass encoding? Sometimes I can encode a video almost as fast as the audio when I encode for iPod.
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!

great!!!
how did you do that?
what application? what settings?

pls pm me if you don't want to mess in the topic...

[Jaspa]

Everything worked fine but now i get no muxing anymore.

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.

[buzzqw]

most probably the subtitle extraction gone wild

make sure in temp folder there is "hdc_subs.idx"

try manually launch vsrip.exe (from \applications folder) and rip the subs

Thanks for the awesome utility! I am having some problems, however. When I analyze an m2ts file on my harddrive (ripped from BluRay) it gets an "Problems analyzing input file" message. The error log shows:

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...

[marklar]

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!

[buzzqw]

@rickatnight11

make sure you have set in ffdshow, WMV9 as decoder for VC1!

@marklar

... not so easy

(i have best hope on an update eac3to ...)

Is there any chance, that eac3to will be updated? I did not see author of the tool in the forum for very long time... Maybe he only do not have time to discuss, but development is going forward.

[buzzqw]

@rickatnight11

have you installed windows media player 11 ?

@marklar

same hope...

but.. if i find time to spend i will look to integrate mkvextract (but free time is very few)

BHH

@rickatnight11
have you installed windows media player 11 ?
I'm using Windows 7, which comes with WMP12.

[buzzqw]

WIN7 ?

have you followed this thread -> http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=146910

win7 use it's own decoder, YOU must force use your own decoder

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.

[rickatnight11]

I just used the utility you linked to, and the problem is still the same.

Hi,

small bug in queue creation: Input is DVD (ripped to folder), output is MKV, video is X264, two audio streams (Copy audio) are selected and one subtitles are selected.

Everything except of the last line of queue is OK. All streams are extracted from DVD including both audio streams, but only one of these audio streams is then included into mkvmerge command line:

Hi,

I have noticed two changes in audio encoders:
- OGG encoder disappeared from listbox of audio encoders
- default value for Nero AAC VBR quality is 0.2 (was higher before)

Are these changes intentional?

THX

[buzzqw]

@marklar

i need to know the language of missing audio (or post the make report)

ogg is present!, maybe you have checked SAP compaitibility...

nero bitrate is just the same value as (in list) as encoder before

missing language is ENG

thanks for the OGG information, you are right

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?

[buzzqw]

0.2 is LOW
i suggest 0.30 for stereo and 0.4 (at least) for multichannel

i'll check for missing audio

No error message, just hard crash.

[Chengbin]

buzzqw

When you load your own avs script, HDC will load all the plugins from the filter folder and the plugins from the avs. This can cause it to go over the 50 allowed filter limit.

@Chengbin

use the Update fuction

BHH

Wow, that's fast! Thank you so much.

[buzzqw]

was easy (just 2 line of code) and clever as idea

if one load an avs , the avs shouldn't need any other plugins

BHH

[Chengbin]

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)

[buzzqw]

repair is used only for slower preset afaik..

i'll check
but for next week i will be on holiday and not always at my pc

so.. you have to wait (maybe)

thanks

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

and guide is always more then welcome

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]

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

[rickatnight11]

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.
