HDConvertToX v. 3.0 (14/10/2010)

[x_merlin_x]

I understand.

How could I create a 720p and 1080p version of the same movie without muxing it twice? The muxing takes approximately 1 hour and results in mostly the same files.

[buzzqw]

you cannot do with HDC

you must take both your h264 streams and using mkvtoolnix (mmg.exe) you mux to a single file.

Given the apparent difficulty in reading the first post or actually exploring all the tabs, would it make sense to move the "Make Report" button to the main application frame, underneath "Update HdConvertToX" or right above "Generate Encode"? There is plenty of room there and you might avoid having to keep asking for the make report and then posting again to tell people where the button is. It might make things easier for you in the long run.

[buzzqw]

could be a good suggestion..
just need to verify where is best fittted

thansk for suggestiong it

[buzzqw]

update HDC

>added possibility to download HDC even if no official update is found
>added make report to first panel

Excellent job for another time buzzqw.

Is there a general guide for using presets and filters in every occasion (DVD, Blueray, TV rip etc..)??

Thnx again

[jackkoho]

Hello,
I would just like to post my results using HDC to re-encode movies that I have originally encoded that I have decided are too large file size.

These movies I originally encoded to fit on a single layer DVD (approx 4.4 GB) but now I want them to compatible with FAT 32 (now must be <4 GB).

So I have been using HDC. First I open the original .AVI file that I have already encoded, when it says "file not supported, would you like to mux into MKV as last try?" I say "Yes".

Then click "Analyze File."

Then choose settings just as normally encoding a file.

The one problem is that you cannot copy audio if it is encoded using mp3. So the re-encoded file will have no audio. To get around this, open ORIGINAL encoded file in Avidemux and save audio. Then open re-encoded file in Avidemux and under audio choose "external mp3". Then save video.

Congratulations, you have just re-encoded original AVI into smaller file size avi for your pleasure. I think another good application of this would be making smaller file size for portable devices, IE, IPOD, IPHONE, Cell phone, etc.

Good luck and I hope this post is helpful to some people.

Jack

hi jackkoho and thanks a lot for your experience with HDC

i just want to say that in latest build a added an experimental features that allow copy audio (using ffmpeg.exe as audio decoder)

if you want to try.. please report back

and thanks again :)

Hello buzzqw,
thanks for the updates. As a former AutoMKV user (had to update to HDC because of Win7 x64) I'm looking for an easy way to encode lots of different tv-recordings by putting them simply in a queue and go. The thing I loved most at AutoMKV was the automatic analysis for interlaced/progressive (safe-deinterlacer). This was a big time-saver, in HDC I now have to test manually wich takes many minutes before I can go to the next Queue-Job.
I'm shure you made this for good reasons, but do you think we can get back the interlace-auto-analysis as an option for a little bit more automatism?

[buzzqw]

Hi Spreeni

every time you select a new file, hdc ASK if your file has same properties as previous (width, height, lenght... audio..)
if your files are different there isn't a quick method..

just one more hint: if you encode by crf (not bitrate) and you know that audio used are always the same (and with and height) you can always assume the same properties

BHH

[Spreeni]

thanks for the hint, you're right, this can save time, too. Unfortunately my recordings a quite different in interlaced/progressive, so to be sure not to deinterlace unnecessarily I have to to this 'Test interlace pattern'. Maybe you know a little tool which analyses my files a bit faster? This could be a step in my workflow before putting files to HDC.

[olapanekala]

buzzqw: i suggest to use AVI-Mux_GUI-1.17.8.3 in next major release because the older version is not working with win7 x64 (in my case at least).

Thnx again

[Queelis]

Hi there,
I have a suggestion - somewhere to show the bitrate of the audio. It's very annoying to set the encoding to 448kbps AAC only to find out later on that the source has 192kbps bit rate.
Is that something you would consider?

[archy141]

Thanks for your fantastic work BUZZQW.

I was wondering if someone could help me out with a transcoding problem i'm having.

I have a MKV file which i would like to play on my PS3 with the PS3 Media Server using the TsMUXer option as opposed to Mencoder which requires realtime transcoding. Like a few other similar transcoded files, it will steam to the PS3 but only with audio and no video.
So i tried to use HDConvertToX to transcode these files with NMT compatibility using 1 Pass Quality.

When I use lower quality transcoder settings for testing such as CRF21 and Quality FAST the file streams (TsMuxer option) and plays on the PS3 fine.
But when I up these values the transcoded file will not play at all the PS3 using tsmuxer or mencoder options. The PS3 displays an error "Data Type Not Supported...".
I tried to use high quality 2 Pass transcoder settings and that resultant file has also failed and reported same error.

I believe HDConvertToX has been setup correctly as i have managed to archive some DVD's into MKV's and transcode a 720p DTS file to include hardcoded subtitles. All stream and play fine on the PS3 using the TsMuxer with PS3Media server. CoreAVC is my default decoder for MKV's and was wondering if that could be causing problems ?

Below are log files and media info to help out troubleshooting.

I keep trying to convert some home .mpg files into x264/MKV and after the audio processing finishes (AC3 into Nero AAC), it appears the command line in the DOS window tries to run x264 and all I hear is a squeak sound and it's done. It never does the video encode.

Granted I haven't used this program in months, but it used to work before the last batch of upgrades.

Any ideas?

Hi there,

I am having trouble to select the subtitle of the movie "district 9" with the "foreign" language of the alians. It is visible on BR, but not selectable inside the subs section. Only the other language subtitles are there which of course include the part with the alien language. However, I would like to just have the alien language translation burned in, just like the BR.

Any ideas?

[buzzqw]

Is that something you would consider?

if this information is available from eac3to i will put it, else.. no
and.. if you reencode ac3 to 448kbs, i will suggest to copy it..

Here is the link to the unofficial Xvid 1.2.2 with VAQ. I tested it in AutoGK 2.55 instead of 1.2.1 Vaq build and it produces undersized files(maybe just incompatibility with AutoGK or my XP system?) but the quality using tweaked options seems much better. That said Koepi's standard(no VAQ) 1.2.2 build for me caused undesizing too after tests.

I updated to the latest HDC - v2.4.621.4206 and tried to to transcode again with settings as:

-NMT Compat. Strict
-1 Pass CRF16 Extreme Quality

A new problem is occurring now which i think is related to this HDC build. After creating the hdencodertox-pid2.dts the transcoding process window exits. I managed to see an error message pointing to b-pyramid 0 in the window before it closed. I repeated the steps using another 1080p DTS file with various settings including Quality Fast and CRF22 but same thing happened. This only happens when STRICT is enabled.

With this encode I got oversized file (8168 Mb instead of 8150 MB), so it did not fit on DVD-9. Can you take a look at it?

please update x264.exe to latest build :)

@Finch

the difference is off .220372184133202744% (even if 18mb will break DL compatibility..)

i suggest to remux avimux_gui, it will allow (iirc) to create smaller mkv by using different index type

in next update i will try to reduce this error.. but it's impossibile (can also be due to x264 using more bitrate then requested)

Updated X264 and transcoding is no longer bombing out with NMT STRICT enabled. I have kicked off 1 Pass transcoding with CRF16, Quality Slower & specified bit rate of 13000 (slightly larger than original). I will get back to you soon as transcoding is completed and tested on PS3. Fingers crossed... :thanks:

[valnar]

there is any error if you open the C:\AV\HDConvertToX\analysis\hdconverttox_allison8thgraduation.avs on virtualdub ?

BHH

Pop GUI error:

Avisynth open failure:
MPEG2Source: unable to load D2V file "C:\A\HDConvertToX\analysis\movie.d2v"

Sure enough, there is no movie.d2v file in the folder.

Edit: I redownloaded it instead of doing an update and its working now.

[archy141]

The transcoding completed without errors this time but the new transcoded file will still not play on PS3 (PS3Media server using tsmuxer or mencoder )- "The Data Type Is Not Supported"

Seems we are still stuck with original problem where lower quality transcodes work fine whilst higher ones fail with ps3media.
Please help. Any ideas / suggestions would be most welcome.:confused:

*EDIT*

I done some testing and came across something interesting.
I removed the DTS track from the transcoded MKV file (mkvmerge gui 2.30) and the new video only file streamed successfully to the PS3.

I than took the original MKV file & extracted the DTS audio track (mkvextract 1.6.4.1) and merged it with the video only track. To my dismay the file no longer steamed and as before gave the same "data type not supported" error.:mad:

[Mrsash]

I am having a few probelms with a couple of wmv files.
When I load the wmv it says only first video and audio track will be encoded
The I see the use best decoder changed automatically to force directshowsource.
Then I clicked analyze source. Which gave me error message
"Problem analyzing video" or something

Then a log file popped up

I have installed latest ffdshow and haalisplitter and used all your recommended settings. Cant figure out what the problem is. There is no output. I see the audio in the job folder but the video part is 0kb in the same job folder?

thanks

@archy141

... i'll try to upload tomorrow a custom made profile.txt

please wait for more instruction

@Mrsash

first of all try with this script

directshowsource("e:\new folder (11)\3.wmv",audio=false)

if fails.. then i suggest to reinstall wmp11

if is OK, then the MT build of avisynth you are using isn't correct/usable for this file.. better to install a standard avisynth

@Mrsash

I am sorry, How do I run this?

BHH

Also If I just disable Avisynth MT in HDC, is this all I need to do? Or do I have to reinstall everything?

thanks

[Chengbin]

buzzqw, why does HDC have to add hdconverttox_full_ to every output name? It is completely unnecessary.

[buzzqw]

@Mrsash

simply write in notepad

directshowsource("e:\new folder (11)\3.wmv",audio=false)

save as test.avs
open the test.avs in virtualdub

got error ?

@Chengbin

hdc use hdconverttox_full_ if you don't specify an output file
the _full_ is with audio muxed, the non full haven't audio...

BHH

[Mrsash]

@Mrsash

simply write in notepad

directshowsource("e:\new folder (11)\3.wmv",audio=false)

save as test.avs
open the test.avs in virtualdub

got error ?

BHH

Nope no error. The video loads fine. So I assume no need to reinstall wmp11? What does this mean?

Also do I need to reinstall avisynth to the non multithread version or do I just untick it in HDC? Still something is wrong

[buzzqw]

try disabling MT in advanced options

BHH

[Mrsash]

Did that but when I analyze again it says the same thing. Problem analysing input file

Can you make an option to get rid of that kind of naming if the user has specified a default saving folder in the config file?

Always get that problem though, I'm running XP 64. Is there no way to have a script (that comes with HDC) that can simply set all the settings required? Has anyone got any ideas other than re-installing windows? BTW no codec packs have been installed.

I'm that hacked off with this, I'm thinking of going back to MeGUI (long winded and not as easy to use - but at least it works).


Buzzqw:
make sure you have installed all required applications (ffdshow tryout, haali, xvid)
most probably it's a problem of splitters



Can anyone please, please, PLEASE help me with this? I buckled and did a fresh install of Windows 7 - same problem, will not do analysis of bluray.

Installed windows 7 from scratch 2 more times, exact same problem. Given up on getting it working under Win7 (before anyone asks, yes I followed all the procedures in this thread).

Now running virgin "Windows XP Mode" (virtual machine) under Windows 7...... First (and only) things I install, ffdshow, splitter, avisynth etc. EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM -"File Check, Please check media properties" window.

Can anyone please run through a step by step method of how to get (or force) this program to understand bluray streams? This includes what the hell exactly has to be ticked & not ticked in ffdshow.

What adds insult to injury is I have been encoding for nigh on 10 years, never running into problems like this before with any encoding suite.

I have searched this forum up, down, left and right, but I have not found a solution to this problem.

Please help before I die of a stress related stroke or heart attack.

[coldhammer]

quick question. can i keep the dts-ma / true hd tracks in my final mkv output? just demux the track and remux it in. is that what copy audio setting does?

[buzzqw]

@Laffer

source is m2ts + vc1 or m2ts +h264 ?

remove avisynth haali and ffdshow, reboot at every disinstallation

then install ffdshow tryouts latest beta , haali then avisynth 2.58

@coldhammer

hi def audio are supported by eac3to, so are supported by hdc too
just be sure to de-check "keep only core of hd audio" in audio&subs

BHH

I used your posted HDC to repeat the transcoding process as suggested by you.

I used the profile 1 Pass CRF16 Extreme NMT STRICT.

When ONLY the Video was transcoded, the resultant file played fine with PS3MS using TsMuxer. I than manually added the DTS audio from the original but than it gave the familiar "Data type not supported" error.

When both the Video & Audio were transcoding together the reultant file gave the same error error when using TSmuxer or Mencoder with PS3MS.

I also attempted to transcode another MKV file I had which suffers the same no video but only audio problem with PS3MS TsMuxer. Same error occurred. The only thing that I know for sure both have in common is they were ripped from HDDVD's as opposed to blu-ray's.
I'm not sure if this is a common factor causing the transcoding problem.

Also when I was doing tests with transcoding video only the resultant file played with PS3MS TsMuxer but had some skipping frames issue. So i reverted from using 64bit Avisynth back to regular 32bit which cured this particular problem.

If you need more info etc please let me know. You help is most appreciated. :thanks:

[jboy53]

Hi all,

having issues with most versions > 2.3.570.3989

Encoding seems to go well but I end up seeing upon avs2avi part encoding to divx it supposed to be encoding and at 50% the file size is trying to fit into 700mb regardless of the size I set. Needs to be Divx and needs to be ABR.

Tried out of the install and from old working via upgrade results in the same.

Help ... Any ideas....?

[Queelis]

if this information is available from eac3to i will put it, else.. no
and.. if you reencode ac3 to 448kbs, i will suggest to copy it..

BHH

Silly me, haven't noticed the "Copy audio" option before!
I suggest to move it to a checkbox somewhere in the audio screen, just like the "No Resize & Crop" checkbox.
Thanks :)

[Laffer]

@Laffer

source is m2ts + vc1 or m2ts +h264 ?

remove avisynth haali and ffdshow, reboot at every disinstallation

then install ffdshow tryouts latest beta , haali then avisynth 2.58

BHH

Ok nothing actually worked under the XP virtual machine so rather than try to get that working I have gone back to Win7 x64 uninstalled/re-installed (but not using any x64 specifc apps etc).

m2ts + mpeg and m2ts + avc seem to be working now (have not done any encoding just analysis). Perhaps I was just unlucky in that all the sources I tried in the past were vc1 and therefore getting constant & predictable failure....?

m2ts + vc1 is still not working despite ffdshow setting of wmv9 and the other win7 tweaks at the top of the thread. Getting the "AviSynth 2.58, build:Dec 22 2008 [08:46:51]DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me
(C:\HDConvert\analysis\analyze.avs, line 43)" error.

Anything anybody can suggest?

Thanks in advance,
Laffer.

[buzzqw]

@archy141

since problems seems arise only for dts audio, i suggest to reencode it to ac3

@jboy53

well this could be a NON problem. you are using over 4000 bitrate, maybe you have saturated the source.
try using a much faster preset, it should be able to distribute all bitrate across video

also.. you are using a 1 pass encoding.. use always the 2 pass for aiming to a specific size

@Laffer

reinstall wmp11

Thanks for the answer buzzqw. Forgot to say how much I appreciate your work and this package specifically.

I am not sure about the non-problem as such as it worked/works under 2.3.570.3989 fine and (updated it does not) however it did not seem to assist any making the changes you suggested. Tried 2 pass and lower profile admittedly I have not had chance to check further down the scale but I am willing to try and post results later.

Source does have a Overall bit rate of 3336 Kbps but as said it does not affect 2.3.570.3989.

Obviously will try more an come back with results.

[Adub]

Mirror has been updated with latest version.

[buzzqw]

@jboy53

the infinity time profile you have selected on build 2.4.619.4204 trigger a special resizer that will do a little sharp on video. this sharpening will force video codec to use more bitrate.
you can try using the DivX Insane Quality and adding a sharpening filter like softsharpen or, if you donwload the update you can try adding the LSDmod() fiter (much better)



@Adub!

thanks a lot

BHH

[gasnyder]

@Buzzqw

Is it possible (via the prompt string in the first line of the queue) or some other way, to leave the Command Prompt window open when there is a failure of some type? Currently when I get a failure, I have to copy paste each line of the queue into an existing prompt window to see which step had the error and what the error was (I can skip some of them based on any output files already in the job folder). I always seem to forget to copy an NVTools file to the right place when I install a new Full Build, so that is the usual error I get. Maybe this can be an option if you can control this somehow?

[archy141]

Thanks for all you efforts Buzzqw. I will continue trying different things.


Can someone tell me if it is possible to use 1 Pass CRF encoding and specify the bitrate ?

I have tried to do this by putting a value in the bitrate field but it is being ignored.

Can a specific bitrate be enforced manually by adding additional parameters to the command line in the batch file ?

[buzzqw]

@gasnyder

i don't know if is possible... i don't think that DOS has something like a debug...
about nvtools.. i will look

@archy141
you can't force a crf to use a bitrate. Point.

check in applications folder there is the expanded profile.
one of this (iirc) is a bitrate constrained crf

BHH

[Barleyman]

A comment on the W7 install guide.. I think it's not a good idea to replace W7 DXVA h264/vc1 decoder with ffdshow everywhere. You can run into problems with BD and/or HD cable that way as 1-threaded software decoding isn't the best possible way.

So instead I went into ffdshow video decoder configuration and from the directshow control tab check "use ffdshow only in" and put all the hdconverttox executables to there + virtualdub executables. That way ffdshow doesn't "step in" on 1080p material playback.

like so:
aften.exe;AVIMux_GUI.exe;avs2avi.exe;avs2yuv.exe;ChapterXtractor.exe;DGAVCIndex.exe;DGIndex.exe;eac3to.exe;enc_aacPlus.exe;ffmpeg.exe;flac.exe;HDC_BC.exe;HDC_Deint.exe;HDC_Indexer.exe;HDC_MKVExtract.exe;HDC_visualcrop.exe;HDConvertToX.exe;lame.exe;mkvmerge.exe;MP4Box.exe;neroAacEnc.exe;oggenc2.exe;silence.exe;SubtitleWorkshop.exe;tsMuxeR.exe;vdub.exe;VirtualDub.exe;VSRip.exe;Vstrip.exe;vstrip_ifo.exe;wavi.exe;wavi.exe;x264-64bit.exe;x264.exe;xvid_encraw.exe;

BHH

Sorry but i could not figure out what you mean. Are you reffering to the HDConvertToX_profile.txt file in the applications folder ?
I took a look at the file didn't know how to use it.

Instead what i have done for now is added --bitrate parameter to the line i generate with Add To Queue. E.g.

C:\Program Files (x86)\HDConvertToX\applications\x264-64bit.exe" - --stdin y4m --crf 16 --bitrate 13000 --preset slow --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --output

Could you not make HDC accept the value directly from 'Manually Set Bitrate' box even when using 1 Pass CRF profiles ? As mentioned presently the any bitrate value set manually is ignored and not included in the generated batch file.



Onto another problem if someone could be kind enough to help out.

I have a MKV file that is a VC-1 REMUX and i would like to have a go transcoding this to x264.

When this file is checked with MediaInfo or AVInaptic they indicates video as 23.967fps. But when i analyse the file in HDC it shows up as 25fps ? This is creating transcoded files that have audio out of synch. If i manually set the fps to 23.967 frames the video length stretches and audio is out of synch. Setting De-interlace - Change To 23.967 does not help either. Any ideas what is going on ? HDC not analysing correctly or a misconfiguration on my behalf ?

BTW Testing by me is showing NMT STRICT option may not necessarily be specific to PS3. In fact it has caused problems when using with PS3MS.
I have had No problems with STRICT off with the test transcodes i have carried out so far.

:thanks:

[buzzqw]

.. wrong spelling. you CAN'T force using a bitrate if you use a CRF encoding.

I have a MKV file that is a VC-1 REMUX and i would like to have a go transcoding this to x264.
the fps is given from avisynth analysis. i could bet that mkv is a mux of different source, using stretching capabilities of mkvmerge...

[chourmovs]

The "copy audio" is very useful and stable. Many thanks for update Buzzqw.:thanks:

To buzzqw and azmoth

the ffmpeg option to decode DTS track seems to work
i obtain an indexed audio track witch lenght is exactly the same that my original mkv
you did it guy :thanks:

I do further tests

[buzzqw]

thank chourmovs :)

[Prospero424]

Quick question that I hope isn't too stupid:

What's the best way to specify custom x264 switches (-reframes, -subme, etc.) for each particular encode? I've tried modifying the hdconverttox.bat, but the program seems to ignore any modifications I make to it.

Thanks.

[buzzqw]

just simply edit the hdconverttox_profile.txt!

just duplicate a line of profile, edit to your tast, give it a different name for preset and pay attention to numbering (look at hdconverttox_profile in applications folder)

BHH

[azmoth]

Buzzqw in your change log you wrote

>added copy audio using ffmpeg. Useful when eac3to fails to extract audio (alpha)

I downloaded new exe and in audio it is still "force FFMeg.exe as decoder". Is the alpha copy switch built in as I cannot see "copy audio" option?

[buzzqw]

now you can directly use "copy audio" on audio codec list (while checking force ffmpeg as decoder)

BHH

[Prospero424]

just simply edit the hdconverttox_profile.txt!

just duplicate a line of profile, edit to your tast, give it a different name for preset and pay attention to numbering (look at hdconverttox_profile in applications folder)

BHH

Thanks, but I'm still not quite sure what to do. I understand the part about adding a line to the hdconverttox_profile.txt, but what do you mean when you say I should "Pay attention to numbering"?

What number should I give a new custom profile?

Also, how do I get this new custom profile to show up within the HDConvertToX application under the "video" tab; how do I tell HDConverToX to use this new profile?

TIA

[buzzqw]

for example..

this is the hdconverttox profile in hdc folder

X264;1;UltraFast;--preset ultrafast

X264;2;SuperFast;--preset superfast

X264;3;VeryFast;--preset veryfast

X264;4;Faster;--preset faster

X264;5;Fast;--preset fast

X264;6;Medium;--preset medium

X264;7;Extreme Quality;--preset medium --ref 4 --subme 9 --direct auto --trellis 0 --me umh --b-adapt 2 --bframes 4

X264;8;Slow;--preset slow

X264;9;Slower;--preset slower

X264;10;VerySlow;--preset veryslow

X264;11;Placebo;--preset placebo

and you want add your profile

just do this

X264;1;UltraFast;--preset ultrafast
X264;2;SuperFast;--preset superfast
X264;3;VeryFast;--preset veryfast
X264;4;Faster;--preset faster
X264;5;Fast;--preset fast
X264;6;Medium;--preset medium
X264;7;Extreme Quality;--preset medium --ref 4 --subme 9 --direct auto --trellis 0 --me umh --b-adapt 2 --bframes 4
X264;8;Slow;--preset slow
X264;9;Slower;--preset slower
X264;10;VerySlow;--preset veryslow
X264;11;Placebo;--preset placebo
X264;12;Prospero424;--preset medium --bframes 2 --ref 2

first element is codec (x264)
second element is numbering (must be progressive)
third element is name of profile
fourth element is your codec options

BHH

[Prospero424]

Ah, I think I was just adding the line for the new profile in the wrong place within the file. I just tried adding it again and double-checking it, and now my new profile shows up on the speed/quality slider.

Thanks again.

@All,

Has anybody use HDC to process video captured from a Digital Video Camera? If so, do you have any pointers on how you do this? I tried to capture a few minutes from my Canon Elura video camera using Nero Vision to do the capture as a native DV avi file. HDC didn't really know what to do with this file. I tried a few different ways to convert it to an MKV file. It actually generate the h.264 file, but I could never get mkvmerge to actually mux any data. Should I capture to MPEG2? That should allow HDC to process the file ok. I've read the DV avi is the highest quality capture from the camera and is probably the best option for editing the footage. It appears to be Interlaced 30fps video (60 fields per second) at resolution 720x480. Gspot recognizes it as a proper 16:9 video (NTSC at 853x480). HDC misses the PAR 32:27 value, but it's not a real surprise considering it threw all kinds of decoder warnings. I finally got a 1394 cable, so I'm just starting to play around with this. I was hoping that somebody out there might have some tips or settings that might help me out. I'd be willing to discuss this offline as this possibly isn't an entirely HDC related topic. Thanks for any input you can give.

@Buzzqw,

As for my recent post about errors with NVTools. These happen because I forget to copy the license.txt file or the .dll and .exe files to the proper directories after unzipping the new release package. This isn't any error in or issue with HDC, unless of course you would like to add the NVTools to the full package someday. We'd still need the proper license file of course.

[buzzqw]

@gasnyder

post a sample of dv file

about nvtools: i cannot add the package to hdc

please tell me exact files from nvtools (license/exe) where must be located
i can add a check to hdc that will warn users about missing...

BHH

[gasnyder]

@Buzzqw

I'll have to capture a smaller DV file for you. Does it matter if it's Type 1 or Type 2?

For the NVTools, it seems that the following is required to get everything to work:

1) DGIndexNV.exe in the HDC\applications folder
2) license.txt in the same folder as DGIndexNV.exe (the full package contains a license.txt file for eac3to that has to be replaced). An incorrect license file throws an error dialog.
3) DGMultiDecodeNV.dll has to be in the HDC\filters directory.
4) DGDecodeNV.dll - I'm not sure if this is needed or not. It doesn't seem to be used in the workflow that I use. But I copy it to the filters directory just in case.

Not having (3) in place results in this error: Script error: there is no function named "DGMultiSource". I only see this if I manually copy/paste the xvid_encraw or x264 lines from the queue to a command prompt, otherwise the queue just stops and the window goes away.

Thanks as always,
Garth

Hm. Won't work with logarith lossless codec in avi container.

:) AutoMKV freezes when doing something with audio at the beginning (VirtualDubMod), HDConvertToX won't process the file.

Not my day, I guess. :)

Using AutoMKV (great tool! You saved my day! Of HDConvertToX I don't know yet. :D ) and skipping audio and muxing data in now.

Just wanted to mention it. :)

@gasnyder

type 2 is preferible

thanks about file placing :)

@katzenjoghurt


could you post a sample of this file ? (around 100mb)

thanks

BHH

[katzenjoghurt]

I tried it again.

It won't import any .avi file and always propose a mkv conversion as last try.

Guess that's normal?


It'll work if I let HDConvertToX do this mkv conversion itself.

Did this repacking manually with FFMPEG before.
This lead to the above output.

[buzzqw]

if you say NO to remuxing HDC will try to use directshowsource

and so you need a dss capable decoder

Ah... okay. The popping up window made me think, something
went terribly wrong. It also claimed that only audio would be
encoded when pressing "no" ... which isn't the case.

Searching this thread I saw this is all about multiple audio streams. Okay.
That was a bit confusing.


Playing around with it now... hm... merging always fails here
because of differing audio file names.

***and another question
like for example when i want an mkv from 4370mb i must enter a value 4585 to become that?
Is there a way to avoid this, because it doesn't work for each Blu ray.....

[buzzqw]

ike for example when i want an mkv from 4370mb i must enter a value 4585 to become that?

if you enter 4370 you will get a 4370mb output file.
only when dealing with copy audio (or vbr audio encoding) you can get different file size

Hope this isn't to OT:

I edit my files with H264tscutter before I run them through HDC. I edited Dianna Krall in Paris and when done it would continue to crash HDC.

When I ran the unedited file through - no problem.

How can I scan the/an edited file for errors before I run HDC?

Use default decoder produces error as usual and then analyses with FDshowsource. The codec used as per media player is DVSD(panasonic codec installed). You said previously proper DSS decoder needed. I set FFdshow to decode via libavcodec. Is this what you mean? If not can you give me an example?

I tried to get visual crop to check crop ratios and such but cant see anything even when I shuffle.

I'm encoding The Guns of Navarone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Guns_of_Navarone_%28film%29) (1961) from 25 fps downto 23.976 while keeping the original 5.1 surround AC3 audio track .
How do I convert the 25 fps AC3 audio downto 23.976 fps AC3 ?

I could manually stretch it with MKVgui or eac3to but I thought HDConverToX might have an automatic, all-in-one, solution .
I'm converting most of my DVD's to MicroHD [480p] in this way when 5.1 surround sound is available and the movie was originally shot at 24 FPS .
Also, how can I easily tell if a movie can be downpaced to 24 fps ?

Cool works now but if I set the audio to just copy audio no resulting video is produced but I do see a encoded h264 video in jobs folder

If I set it to nero aac audio it does produce a mkv as requested in the destination folder

@[D4v3|R4v3]

Hi [D4v3|R4v3] and Welcome to the Forum

the bitrate is accurate for CBR encoding, when you encode audio to abr/vbr the exact size cannot be guessed precisely

@delacroixp
you can try checking the "Convert audio to NTSC" and selecting as encoder AC3

@Mrsash

DSS audio decoding cannot be used for audio copy. you must force use of "Force FFmpeg.exe as decoder" (but only if source is muxed in mkv)

Hi [D4v3|R4v3] and Welcome to the Forum

Thanks! :)
Is there a way to fix that or work around it? Similar to AutoGK, who I guess does the same.

[buzzqw]

autogk is very accurate because it analyze the audio file after the encoding, while HDC MUST guess the size of audio BEFORE encoding is done

i can only suggest to try the cbr encoding

BHH

[[D4v3|R4v3]]

Just tried it with Audio 128kbps CBR and 351MB final MB size (HDC calculated a bitrate of 1074kbps). But I got the same result - just a total file size of 307MB (Video 922kbps).
Am I something missing here?

Thanks nevertheless for the program and your help!

[buzzqw]

analyze the output file with mediainfo or avinaptic (better this)
check the bitrate used for audio and video

i can guess that NOT all video bitrate is used...

What do you mean?
I tested it (didnt start the queue though) and it behaves just like the normal version. X264 64 bit was not ticked and it did not prompt me to tick it before i queued up the job.

btw: Task mamager shows it as 32 bit program (what should be the advantage of HDC beeing 64bit anyway?)

I have just completed an encode using this 64-bit version of HDC. h264/MKV, One-pass Quality setting (20), NMT compatibility mode on, d2v input file. Windows XP x64 Edition for OS.

I was not "prompted" to use X264 64-bit, but I had checked it on in the advanced settings when I turned on the Multithreaded AVISynth option when I was setting up the job.

The encode completed successfully. I'm not happy with the video quality, but that's due to the Deinterlacer setting I chose. Not an issue with HDC itself.

Edit: And B00ne is right, Windows does report this as being a 32-bit application, not 64-bit.

Not exactly sure what fixed it - your builds or combination of that and PS3MS builds but it works.

I would also like to report that there is NO need to use the STRICT option with NMT compatibility when transcoding for PS3.

The few files i have done so far did not use the STRICT option and play just great.

My typical settings have been - X264 in MKV, 2 Pass, 12Mbps, Very Slow, NMT Compat, DTS track, English Subs muxed & X264 64bit.


I would appreciate advice on another related matter.

Can someone tell me what settings the Input & Output Levels on the configuration page of CoreAVC 2.0 should be set to(AUTO,TV,PC). The video files are to be streamed using a PS3 & viewed on a 50" Pioneer Plasma TV (36bit deep colour supported). I do not want to problems such as colours crushed etc. Please offer guidance.

:thanks:

I will say that I think this is the first time I've ever had an encode work with the "X264 64-bit" checkbox activated. Usually it just crashes IIRC. It been awhile since I tried.

Hi buzz,
Strangely enough, it says AMD64 although it is an i7-860 (running winXP64, because in Win7 I couldnt get the encoding to work with my Digital camera videos [720p Mjpeg with mono PCM audio in a mov container])

[B00ne]

Hi I have a few Peoblems with the newer builds of HDC with analyzing.

1.)No matter what i set in "Analyze file" it always uses "force directshowsource" (before FFMpeg worked too) I also get one or two more error messages than before.

2.) In the audio section, even though I specified "Force ffmped.exe as decoder", after analyzing it automatically ticks "Force directshowsource as decoder". Directshowsource as decoder wont work with my digital camera videos (it encodes and encodes and never seems to stop eben though the length of the film has been several times surpassed)
With "Force ffmped.exe as decoder" audio encoding works fine.

In older builds it would just keep the "Force ffmped.exe as decoder" setting. Btw, these problems only relate to those pesky digicam videos - as mentioned before: 720p, MJpeg, mono PCM audio in a mov file.


Some advise for ppl trying to use MT avisynth:

Using the suggested method (Sets MT build) I most of the time get a runtime error of the c++ library at some point or another (seemingly dependent on frame count) if I am using more than 2 threads (only when applying avs filters though)

Now I installed Sets Avisynth 2.6 dll and so far, it is running 8 threads flawlessly with the filters that I use for my digicam videos flawlessly [SoftSharpen(preset="light").LSFmod(defaults="old")].

So anyone with those runtime error problems might try this.

Btw, the speed increase of 8 threads vs 2 threads (i7 with HT) is not phenomenal but 20% is better than nothing - only on the first pass though on the second pass it's fairly similar.

Update for those with Intel 4 cores with HT:
in 2 pass encoding the speed seems to be 6threads>8>4>2>1
in CRF encoding : 6=4>8>2>1
The biggest jump obviously is from no MT to 2 threads the jump to 4 or 6 threads is much smaller and 8 threads only decreases speed slightly

Hi buzzqw

I have a small request. if it is not too much trouble, could you add a checkbox in the Queue section to add the line "Pause" at the end of the Queue?

I dont know if anyone else would like this, but this way the Cmd window stays open to review the log output (without needing to start the Queue from a cmd window manually, or typing in pause :-)

Ahem, its just for convenience - I am a lazy fella :-)

IMO, leave it alone until you get to the point where you're actually using 64bit AVISynth and the complete encoding chain is 64-bit.

It's fine the way it is by defaulting to the INI setting. People that would go so far as to use the 64bit x264 are probably the more "advanced" set of users anyway.

I am sorry for the delay - have had no time to dedicate to this lately. Do you you mean I should downgrade to WMP11? In the Win7 guides I have not seen this...... Please confirm I need to DOWNGRADE & hack the registry about to get WMP11 on Win7.

Google is telling me this move is problematic at best too with various registry hacks required etc.

I can hardly believe myself that I had this running fine till xmas then BAM I just cannot get HDConvertToX work properly even after three complete virgin re-installs of windows.

I'm still getting the "DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me" error. (VC1 in M2TS).

[verbatim2]

first i would like to thank you now hdc mux perfectly to after the updates! :thanks:

last time i found out mbaff was interlace-progressive mix

but now i am dealing with another problem i have tried all the de-interlace filters but none worked for "interlace top field encoding" can you please add this one to in the combobox?
Or is this not possible?

here is the result with decoding on interlace
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5368016/1.mkv

[nx6]

Strangely enough, it says AMD64 although it is an i7-860
That's just the processor architecture. I'm using an i7-920. I believe AMD came out with this architecture first. It's an extension to the x86 instruction set and they marketed it under the name "AMD64". The first Intel 64-bit architecture was the ill-fated Itanimum, later renamed "IA-64". It was incompatible with all the old instruction sets from PCs up to this point and AMD's 64-bit setup, which is probably why it failed in the marketplace. So Intel started a second line of 64-bit processors following AMD's setup, and those are the processors we buy today. The vendor-neutral term for AMD64 today is "x86-64". It's really kinda like the HD-DVD/BluRay wars, and Intel was Toshiba. :D

http://i41.tinypic.com/25ovqbr.png

Would you like to switch? => yes

x264 64bit checked
That's what it did for me. Funnily, I updated the 32-bit HDC and when I relaunched it it also asked if I wanted to switch to the 64-bit X264. This was before I tried the newest 64-bit HDC.

Can someone tell me what settings the Input & Output Levels on the configuration page of CoreAVC 2.0 should be set to(AUTO,TV,PC). The video files are to be streamed using a PS3 & viewed on a 50" Pioneer Plasma TV (36bit deep colour supported). I do not want to problems such as colours crushed etc. Please offer guidance.
It's referring to the output levels. A PC will support 0-255 but a TV runs from 16-235 or something like that. But I think when they say "TV" they're referring to an old CRT monitor. That setting has been around for a long time. Modern LCD TV's have more in common with computers I think. I'd use the wider setting.

[noee]

Buzz:
Just a suggestion re: the "arch check" at startup. How about if the option to use x264-bit is already checked, bypass the msg. It's really annoying having to hit okay every time HDC starts.

[[D4v3|R4v3]]

analyze the output file with mediainfo or avinaptic (better this)
check the bitrate used for audio and video

i can guess that NOT all video bitrate is used...

BHH

P.S. remember to post always the make report!

Mhmm, so what does that mean / what can I do exactly, to get the file size I want (with CBR set for audio)?

[Macgyver]

Recorded a 4hr Cricket Match (trying to learn) as a .ts file. It's 15gig. When loaded into HDC and I click analyze, it instantly pops back that it failed and then gives me dialogue boxes regarding the audio/video.

File too big?

I ran it through some program called AutoMKV :) and it seems to work.

Any ideas?

[Washka]

Hi guys.
I`m new in this and I have few short questions :)
I`m actually reencoding some mkv`s from 7.1 GB hd ready or 8.2 GB full HD with crap quality to resolution (1280x ...) Removing 2 channel commentary (if there is) and downgrading 24bit DTS 6 channel audio with 1.5k bitrate to 6 channel 16bit AC3 Audio 320 bitrate and slightly degrading picture so a movie if is not longer than 2 hours can fit one DVD-R 4.7 GB.
First question is:
Since HDConvertToX using FFDshow in my case for first and second pass when decoding video what should i use?
1. In FFDshow in Video decoder configuration in codecs tab for H264/AVC which one is better to select: Libavcodec or ffmepeg-mt (what i see that ffmpeg-mt have slightly soft image compared to libavcodec) or should i use COREAVC decoder? 2.0.0
2. In HDConvertToX in audio what is best AC3 Audio or NERO AAC Audio or something else?
btw. This files need to be played on my computer, no need to be played in WD TV etc.
Tha`s all.

I tryed all Mpeg 4 GUI`s here on this forum but i`ll stick to HDConvertToX :)

[nx6]

1. In FFDshow in Video decoder configuration in codecs tab for H264/AVC which one is better to select: Libavcodec or ffmepeg-mt (what i see that ffmpeg-mt have slightly soft image compared to libavcodec) or should i use COREAVC decoder? 2.0.0

I wasn't aware there was actually a picture difference between libavcodec and ffmpeg-mt. The primary difference is ffmpeg-mt is multi-threaded and libavcodec is the older, non-multi-threaded one.

2. In HDConvertToX in audio what is best AC3 Audio or NERO AAC Audio or something else?
I'd say AC3, it's a format used in actual theater prints (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AC3) but keep in mind those are also multichannel environments. If you're doing stereo only, AAC might be the better choice as it's also supported in media players better than things like AC3 which are more exotic in computer video files. Of course, modern players can handle both.

btw. This files need to be played on my computer, no need to be played in WD TV etc.
Even if you're going to be playing purely on PC, using the Network Media Tank function will mean streaming to other devices from your home PC will be easier and compatibility with DXVA hardware acceleration for smoother playback since it will be offloaded to a graphics card if possible.

[katzenjoghurt]

I know, this should rather go to the encoding section but... I'd like to ask here as parameters in HDConvertToX are somekind special (no direct x264 setup panel), included filters.

I'm converting divx5 and xvid vids to x264.
But... no matter what I do... the output is always a bit blurry.
Especially the hair structure seems to be lost completely and I only get some... blurry colour gradient... and streaks are smoothed away.
(Could very well be a h264 issue. I don't know.)

Someone got a hint for me? Some filters? Played around with AvsP ... but the preview differed from the final result in the end. :-/

Going to the "slower" profile didn't better things.
I pushed quality even to CRF 10... making the output more than twice as big as the source... still... blurry.
Disabling the Super Light noise filter didn't help either.

[delacroixp]

I've just started using the latest update of HDC exe and enjoyed the red display for 23.976 fps after analysis
(I had already 'forced film' the Davy Crockett DVD through DGIndex) .

What's the difference between the Mixed Progressive/Interlace and Interlace filters ?
I encoded a PAL DVD version of Lost (Season 2) and the quality was rubbish until I used the Interlace filters (Q19 864x480 ... very nice) .
Both seamed to work equally well and the results are outrageous .
Unfortunately, I can't select the Interlace and Convert to 23.976 filters simultaneously ... actually quite good .
I manually setup the d2v's , batch encode 40 audio tracks in 2 instances of HDC (separate HDD's) and MKVmerge the product downto 23.976 fps .
Multiple simultaneous audio encodes saves time !

I tried to batch 10 episodes of Lost but HDC only encoded the last entry :confused: (the Report has already been over-written but I did save the queue.bat) .
I'll get back to batching after I experiment with Davy Crockett chapters in MKV (still no news on a menu system) .

Now it's worse than ever. When I want to select the DG...NV tools, it still complains about missing DG....NV.dll in the \filters\ directory.
With the latest update (4282) HDC now complains wherever I put the ....NV.dlls. So just remove this extra directory check. It complains where it shouldn't and only seems to mess up what has been working nicely since long.

I have an issue with reencoding a movie recorded from TV, it is 1080i with 50fps. So I thought that it is interlaced and wanted to reencode to 720p. For audio and deinterlace-filters I selected "convert to 25fps".
What happened is the following: The original movie was 100 minutes. The reencode hast 200 minutes, it is the complete movie two times (credits can be seen in the middle of the movie and then it starts all over), just that the second time it does not have audio. What happened and why did it double the video? Do I have to select a different deinterlace-filter if I want a result with 25 or 23,976 fps?
Test interlace pattern says that it is 100% progressive?!

@Sharc
fixed, sorry!

@CYBERSONIC
just select the "Interlaced" filter
should be ok

and pay attention to mkv muxing fps!

BHH

Thanks, so if I select interlace, does it change the fps to 25 (meaning that I have to select that for audio as well) or does it stay with 50 fps?
And what do you mean with mkv muxing fps? Besides deinterlace filters and audio I can't find any setting abou fps?!

[buzzqw]

select "Interlaced", "Convert audio to pal"

but this will force mkvmerge to mux at 50fps..

so.. add the job to queue, and edit the fps parameter to 25

and post a sample so i can look myself how to "fix" it :)

I don't know, because I did not sit in front of the PC. I started the encode, DOS-Box opened as usual where it first worked on the audio, and when I came back the DOS-Box was closed, no video has been created and according to the job folder it only processed audio, video file is 0 KB.
Where can I see what caused the problems?

you must install the MatroskaSplitter110109.exe
look at first post of thread

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Did not catch this small change and have read the first post over and over again! Need my eyes testing. Never occured to me to re-check the version as I had not downloaded it in quite a while.

Once again thank you - can't begin to tell you how frustrating this has been.................

Okay, did not know this, thought the internal update function is enough.

However, after redownloading and updating it encoded with interlaced, but the result is the same, my encode is again two times the movie, 200min. I don't get it, why changing from 50fps to 25fps doubles the movie...:confused:

@all

Do not respond further to this issue.

[CYBERSONIC]

Struck for rule 6 violation.

@all

Do not respond further to this issue.

Why? Because the name of my movie recorded from TV contains dots and file information, like those of evil illegal rips? This is ridiculous.

[buzzqw]

I tried to batch 10 episodes of Lost but HDC only encoded the last entry :confused: (the Report has already been over-written but I did save the queue.bat) .
I'll get back to batching after I experiment with Davy Crockett chapters in MKV (still no news on a menu system) .

don't use "&" in title or file name

BHH

[archy141]

I enjoy watching world cinema films with English subtitles, but this can be a little problematic when real-time transcoding & streaming 1080P MKV material to the PS3. To overcome this what i have been doing to date is re-encoding the films with HDC with following setting:

No Resize & Crop
No Changes To Audio Tab
No Filters

X264 in MKV
2 Pass
X264 VerySlow
Manually Set Bitrate To value given by MediaInfo + 500Mbps*


Embed English Subtitles In Video Stream


* +500Mbps is a arbitrary padding value i add in hope that i do not drop video quality from original encode

Can someone please be kind enough to let me know if there is a better way to re-encode the videos with embedded subs & avoid quality loss altogether or at least minimise it. Please offer your opinions.

:)

[Brilliant]

Hi all,

I'm using HDC fully updated to encode a .TS file with an H264 video stream + 2 AC3 384 6ch audio streams in Win 7 Pro 32 bit. After some seconds from the start I get a dialog box with the message "WAVI.EXE stopped working" and an OK button. Processing is not stopped, and it goes on even when I press the button (the dialog disappears smoothly), and the encoding runs to its natural end. The result is apparently fine, both video and audio appear OK.

Can you tell me what the cause could be?

Thanks in advance.

[Mah]

For best quality, is it best to use where it says placebo time?

[ade1952]

Hi to All,

I've just recently come across HDC, 3days ago infact, and
in that time, have only once been able to get HDC to find Haali Splitter, and that strangely enough was on a Win 7
system, (reference to an old thread on the Videohelp site).

The system I'm having problems on, is a Win XP Service Pk3, it seems no matter what I try, HDC will not see Haali, your probably say stick with the Win 7 system, unfortunately the processor on that is not as good as the XP's, I have tried the work around mentioned on Videohelp site, but even that didn't work (as of today).

Any help to get this working, and (get my hair back), would be most appreciated.

Thanks
Adrian.

[Finch]

@Finch
update HDC i added a "strict" check for NMT that will enforce --weight 0
The weightp issue is now fully fixed with the new firmware updates (I tested on Philips and LG MTK-based players). I don't think there are any more players with this issue, so it's probably a good idea to remove the "weightp 0" option :)

[nx6]

For best quality, is it best to use where it says placebo time?
No. Just use "Very Slow" instead. Placebo is VERY VERY slow, and quality isn't really much better than the Very Slow setting. Not worth the extra time.

@[D4v3|R4v3]
the mediainfo report a bitrate of 922kb while hdc set a bitrate of 1074
so isn't to blame hdc.. but encoder
i suggest to try to add a sharpen filter like LFSMod()
look at filter list

BHH

I tried to use 'Light' for the De-noise filter and 'RemoveGrain(mode=2)' at the Basic Filters drop down. Still no change in the calculated and final bitrate.
How can I add another filter (like LFSMod() you suggested) to the list?
I'm trying to get the same settings (i.e. RemoveGrain SSE3) for HDC like AutoGK is using when converting ...
Thanks again!

[gasnyder]

@[D4v3][R4v3]

To add multiple filters in the Basic Filters drop down simply chain them together like this.... FluxSmoothST(7,7).FFT3DFilter().RemoveGrain(mode=2)

You won't be able to select them from the pulldown, you will have to type it in by hand, but you can save your choice by "Save Settings" in the Load & Save settings TAB of Advanced Options.
I thought I read at one time that the filters in the chain work in reverse... RemoveGrain runs first, then FFT3DFilter, then FluxSmooth... But I can't find confirmation of that at this point. Maybe somebody else can confirm/correct this.

[ade1952]

[7ekno]

Hi,

Any ideas on my last post.

Thanks.
Adrian.

Tried the sanctioned version of Haali that's posted in the first post, or are you trying the "latest"?!? If HDC is anything like Ripbot, it signature checks for the required version of Haali ...

Tek

[ade1952]

Hi Tek,

A valid consideration, if it wasn't for the fact, that I've used the same
version (v1.10.120.15) on both machines, and on the Win 7 machine,
it works.

I thought at first, that it might be due, to putting Haali on a different
partition (E), and that HDC was expecting it to be on (C), so I put
everything on (C), it made no difference.

Other than HDC, and the 4 additional programs it needs, I've only got
3 or 4 other programs on this partition, and there cleaning programs, so
I can't even think of a conflict going on.

So any other ideas, because I'm out of them, and I would like to get HDC
running on XP, as I was so impressed with the results on win 7.

Thanks.
Adrian.

Most of the files now do have the correct file size. But there are still 2 or 3 files where it doesn't work - don't know why :confused:

Are you saying it's now safe to use --weightp 1 or --weightp 2? How about Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, etc?

[Wizecat]

I've been testing HDC for a few weeks now off and on. It's quite a capable encoder if you know how to edit the encoder settings. Only thing that doesn't work so far is the bicubic resizer. All other resizers work fine. :)

wavi is used for piping decoded audio to audio encoder
if wavi crash.. then could be a memory problem or (more probably) a decoding issue

hdc not always find haali, you don't have to worry about it.

How do I let HDC mux at 24000/1001 ?

I manually ran DGIndex and converted the 25 fps AC3 audio downto 24 fps mp4 .
I loaded the d2v and copy audio into HDC .
I set the 'De-interlace Filters:' to Interlaced (Video page) ... which just leaves the 24 fps muxing outstanding.


It's all good

I'm not sure if this is an issue where an update was applied incorrectly, but I kept having my encode batch close without any log as to why. I finally found out that it was getting through all of the audio encodes but bombing at the video encode. As it turns out, both avs2yuv.exe and x264-64bit.exe were missing from my HDConvertToX/applications folder. Downloading the latest version of the binaries (just rename the 64-bit x264.exe to x264-64bit.exe) myself and sticking them in the applications folder fixed the issue.

Got some videos but video does not seem to encode.

Ok problem was MT. Reinstalled works now but no output from bluray source. Job folder has all files but no merging took place. Sub file did not mux manually. Gonna try recoding

Greetings,

I'm kind of new at this but I was able to successfully rip a blu ray (my copy of Dark Knight) using AnyDVD and take the main movie and make it a 10gb mp4 file, which turned out to be superb.

Now, however, I'm trying to do the same with my copy of Iron Man 1 but the output file size is not matching what I tell it to be. I'm setting the option to be 10,000 (listed in Mb), so it should come out as 10gb, but it's only coming out as 1gb. I retried it at 10,000 Mb and also tried changing it to 100,000 mb just to be sure, and it came out as 1gb both times.

Any thoughts?

Also temp files were not deleted automatically. How do you do this automatically?

there is a hidden option
Clean Temporary files=
set it to 1 for deleting job folder



Now, however, I'm trying to do the same with my copy of Iron Man 1 but the output file size is not matching what I tell it to be. I'm setting the option to be 10,000 (listed in Mb), so it should come out as 10gb, but it's only coming out as 1gb. I retried it at 10,000 Mb and also tried changing it to 100,000 mb just to be sure, and it came out as 1gb both times.

the problem is with bitrate...
xvid_encraw handle values differently..., from xvid_encraw manual
-bitrate [integer] : target bitrate (700)
values <= 10000 are treated as kbit/s
values > 10000 are treated as bit/s

you must use a bitrate just a little smaller.
set manually to 10000

BHH

Hmm cant seem to find this option must be blind?

Also did two episode from bluray.
With first one said problem with audio. I ripped with anydvd. The original plays fine with audio?

With second one the files were there in the job folder but no output file.

However file size was over the limit. I chose 1490 which usually give a 1.45 file but in this case it was 1.47 with Cbr audio

Also what is the key to muxing the subs?



thanks

Thank you, I will definitely give that a shot!

[gasnyder]

@Mrsash

The "hidden" option is hidden in the HDConvertToX.ini file located in the same directory as the HDC executable.

Just wanted to follow up and say it worked like a charm. Thanks very much and love your program!

is the hdencodertox__subs_6.sup present in \jobx folder ?
is the the .idx/sub present in \jobx folder ?

what's the error ?


Well hdencodertox__subs_6.sup does exist but no idx file

Do you mean in cmd window?
copied and pasted it and hit enter and got this

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

So why does it not mux the files and why does the output come up bigger than requested? Could it have something to do with missing idx file?

thanks

[buzzqw]

bdsup2sub need java (JRE) installed

@Mrsash

hdc used a bitrate of "--bitrate 4746"

but x264 used a bitrate of bitrate=4611

i tested your settings with megui and gives a bitrate of 4738, so hdc is right on spot

a video file of 1.42gb is on spot too for video size!

so the "big" comes from audio or subs...

Hi buzzqw,

first I want to thank you for this wonderful tool.
And I have a feature request, maybe you like and implement it.

In the audio and subs selection tab, it would be great, if you could change the order of the tracks/subs (drag'n'drop or maybe up/down buttons)!

What do you think about this idea?

Greetings, phXql

Plently of space. ITs not the problem. I just tried a bluray file the second time the same file encoded further but still not complete. First time encode sound up till half of video. Second time 3/4 of video had sound. I am noob so can only relay problem.
thanks

Hi there,

I can't find a way to include the subtitle from Avatar that shows the translation of the "alian" language. Any ideas how to include just the translation of those sequeces into the stream and not the normal subtitle of all spoken languages?

Thank you for any help! Merlin

[Brilliant]

wavi is used for piping decoded audio to audio encoder
if wavi crash.. then could be a memory problem or (more probably) a decoding issue
try updating ffdshow


I've just found the time to download and install the latest ffdshow (3425) from free-codecs.com, but the error still appears.

The line where it happens is:

"C:\HDConvertToX\applications\wavi.exe" "C:\HDConvertToX\job0\hdconvert_audio_0_jim.mpg.avs" - | "C:\HDConvertToX\applications\aften.exe" - -b 192 "C:\HDConvertToX\job0\hdencodertox-pid2.ac3"

Wavi.exe was created on 16/8/2007 - 14,5 KB. I can't see the version number of aften.exe, but its creation date is 20/11/2008 - 294 KB.

Any more ideas? Thanks.

I selected the English subtitle but didn't force it. It's encoding now, so I won't know the result for a little while. Since there's only 4 subtitle tracks all in different languages, there's no easy option to try to find which one only contains forced subtitles (there isn't one in this case). However, when I started the queue and it extracted the subtitle track, it did report that there were 1952 subtitles and 83 forced subtitles. So, it does recognize that there are forced subtitles in that track. Any way to pull out just those forced ones?

@x_merlin_x AND @lotrmith

please post the eac3to log (in analysis folder)
on make report i don't see the forced captions...

@Brilliant

check the ffdshow audio configuration
maybe there is some "messing" about ssrc, mixing..

Is that what you're looking for? There are only those four subtitle options, but if you select the English subtitle and run the queue, when it goes through the subtitles it says that there are however many subtitles and also a couple odd dozen forced ones.


Additionally, if you could comment, I've tried twice now running both the previously posted report and this following report, only to have the entire process finish but with no output file actually produced!

@lotrmith

if eac3to doesn't support these subs.. i cannot help
better to use bdsup directly

@Oats
thanks! .. and Welcome to the Forum!

fixed, please update HDC

BHH

[Mrsash]

I am trying to figure out what to do? You have not replied to my post. I have plenty of space. Is there something I can use other than eac3. I tried using forceDDS but it gave me completely different language but finished encoding audio without any problem on all files? Cant understand what the problem is.

thanks

[lotrmith]

@lotrmith

better to use bdsup directly

Ok, thanks for the advice. I used txMuxer to demux just the main english subtitle track, then I opened that in BDSup2Sub and have created a new subtitle track that contains only the forced subtitles. It is a .sup extension. How do I load and include this in HDConverttoX after loading and analysing the main .m2ts? My goal is to convert to .mp4 and include these forced subtitles embedded in the video stream.

Also, if I want my output to be ~15000 MB (insted of 10,000MB as in previous projects), it wants the bitrate to be 12859. We ran into this problem before where values over 10,000 bitrate caused problems. Will I have to set it manually to 10,000 bitrate again? In the meantime, I've calculated the largest size it can be without automatically going over 10,000 bitrate, which is close to 12,000 MB so that's probably fine.


My report looks like this. I expect I'll have to manually insert a line in the queue? The path for the subtitle track I've created and want to use is C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\ForcedFinal.sup

there is an avisynth filter that allow use of .sup file directly in script...

Sorry, I need just a little more help. I'm totally inexperienced at all of this, really.

My understanding is that after installing that plugin, I need to insert a line into the HDConverttoX queue?

I believe this is the script I need:
LoadPlugin("C:\SupTitle\SupTitle.dll")
clip = DirectShowSource2("C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\RED_BIRD_2D_WW\BDMV\STREAM\0002.m2ts
")
return clip.SupTitle("C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\ForcedFinal.sup", forcedOnly=false, swapCbCr=false, relocate=true, relocOffset="")

Or, do I use that on an already-converted mp4?
LoadPlugin("C:\SupTitle\SupTitle.dll")
clip = DirectShowSource2("C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\Avatar.mp4")
return clip.SupTitle("C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\ForcedFinal.sup", forcedOnly=false, swapCbCr=false, relocate=true, relocOffset="")

Do I insert that somewhere into my m2ts->mp4 script that is generated by HDConvertttoX? If so, where do I insert it? Here's my HDC queue:

this should work good!

don't use it on already encoded file, you will loose more quality

after edited the avs file, run the queue :)

Where do I put this script though? How do I do this? lol
Sorry, I'm a noob :)

Specifically, what do you mean by "editing the avs file"?

[buzzqw]

add your m2ts to queue

then go in \job1 (or job0) folder
you will found a hdconverttox_00002.avs (or similar)

open with notepad

and add just after the directshowsource input

LoadPlugin("C:\SupTitle\SupTitle.dll")
SupTitle("C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\ForcedFinal.sup", forcedOnly=false, swapCbCr=false, relocate=true, relocOffset="")

should work

Excellent. Thanks so much! I will try this out and report back when it's all done.

Alright, it's encoding right now, and seems to be working. I'll get back to you when it finishes.

Just to make sure I did it right, here's the insert I did to the avs file:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\SupTitle.dll")
SupTitle("C:\Users\M\Documents\Avatar\ForcedFinal.sup", forcedOnly=false, swapCbCr=false, relocate=true, relocOffset="")

Alrighty, it finished encoding remarkably fast (~4 hours, usually takes ~12 hours). And the reason it went so fast is that the output didn't contain any video except a black screen with an error message embedded that broadcast for the entire length of the film.

The message is:

System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

at SupTitle.GetFrame(SupTitle* , PVideoFrame* , Int32 n, IScriptEnvironment* env)

I don't expect you to know what that means, and I'll ask over at the Sup thread, but I also noticed that the output file size was only ~1gb when I specified it to be almost ~12gb, and perhaps that might be related. The value of 11699 mb was input by me and the 10,000 bitrate was automatically estimated (not input manually). Here's a report:

Hi All!

I've come across a few questions that I'm not sure if you guys can help me with... I'm not sure they've been up before, so pardon me if I'm repeating something here:

1. I'm encoding quite a few of my movies to xvid with the help of HDC to get files that are a bit more "light" and versatile (Not all of my computers can run x264 in HD). The video settings I make is width 720, xvid in avi, 2 pass insane quality, and I usually try to set an output size that gives me a bitrate just above 1200. And here's my question:
- Many of the times I do the above I get a filesize that is way lover than projected, with a bitrate that sometimes is 20-50% lower than intended. The output still looks great, but I'm not sure why this happens. Is this somehow xvid encoder that decides that - with these settings you reach the desired quality with less? Is the codec that intelligent? I mean - in the end I don't mind, because I get files that are smaller but it is a bit curious for me.

2. I recently downloaded the lates package (plus the latest update) since it's been a very long time since I did any types of update. And I discovered (don't know if this happens in previous versions) that when I select "use best encoder" I get an output where the video jerks and stutters a lot. But when I use "Force FFmpegsource" everything is fine. Has anyone else encountered this type of behaviour?

I'm on a i7 860 with 4GB of RAM, running Windows 7 64bit version. Could it be that I have to do something with regards to Windows 7 to solve question 2?

Thanks in advance

[Wizecat]

Many of the times I do the above I get a filesize that is way lover than projected, with a bitrate that sometimes is 20-50% lower than intended.

I don't know why the default decoder setting doesn't work for you. It works for me. Maybe removing everything then reinstalling would help. Also remove all codec packs and install both versions of ffdshow (32 and 64 bit) and reinstall avisynth.

For the file size issue do two pass encode with "Final MB Size" setting using this:

-max_bframes 1 -vhqmode 1 -quality 6 -max_key_interval 250 -bquant_ratio 150 -bquant_offset 100 -kboost 10 -kthresh 1 -kreduction 20 -ostrength 5 -oimprove 5 -odegrade 5 -chigh 0 -clow 0 -bvhq -imin 1 -imax 16 -pmin 1 -pmax 16 -bmin 1 -bmax 16 -lumimasking -closed_gop -nopacked

[Mrsash]

@Mrsash

and about missing/partial audio.. again it's related to eac3to not able to extract all audio

ask on eac3to support thread, i don't know what mean this kind of error


Are you sure mate? The reason I ask is I encoded using Blu-Ray Stream Extractor and it used the same files and finished doing so.
I have finished with these files anyway. I thought I should let you know. This will help you find a problem if its eac3to then should'nt Blu-Ray Stream Extractor stuff up as well?
thanks

[TraumaDoc]

Current version (2.5.647.4289) is working great for me at this point.

However, I have a very small and stupid issue - every time the program is updated, using the update check in the program, it is resetting the AVIMux_GUI.exe compatibility settings. Every time the program is updated we must go back and manually change the compatibility settings to Windows XP settings so the program will work properly in Windows 7. Can this be changed so it will keep the settings or will there be a new version of AVIMux_GUI.exe that works properly on Windows 7?

Just thought I'd ask :)

I love the program for my BR conversions. It would also be great if the program could handle some other video type conversions as well - such as MP4 to AVI, etc. If so, this would be a great all-in-one conversion tool.

[gibbyman]

For the file size issue do two pass encode with "Final MB Size" setting using this:

-max_bframes 1 -vhqmode 1 -quality 6 -max_key_interval 250 -bquant_ratio 150 -bquant_offset 100 -kboost 10 -kthresh 1 \
-kreduction 20 -ostrength 5 -oimprove 5 -odegrade 5 -chigh 0 -clow 0 -bvhq -imin 1 -imax 16 -pmin 1 -pmax 16 -bmin 1 \
-bmax 16 -lumimasking -closed_gop -nopacked

Sorry for asking stupid questions here, but since I'm not familiar with the language used in these command line interface-thingies (that's why I use point and click solutions like HDC):

So, what do the above line do for my encode? Does it give me better quality with the right filesize or am I just wasting space?

Is there a good explanation - for the above person who don't really understand the code - for why this happens?

Oh... and finally - the line you provided - do I just save my queue and paste it into every job? (Both passes?)

Thanks in advance...

The line I provided above uses xvid encraw defaults except for the min/max quantizers which the defaults are 1 - 31 and max B frame setting which the default is 2. By reducing the max quantizer settings to 16 with the encraw defaults you might get a larger file size with better quality and still hit the target size. Keep in mind that your audio bitrate and number of audio channels you use will play a role in the final file size. Try it :)

The line can be copy/pasted in the "HDConvertToX_profile" text file located in the HDConvertToX folder. It can then be selected by using the slider in the video tab. You would name it something like this: XVID;10;gibbymans profile;-max_bframes 1 -vhqmode 1 -quality 6 -max_key_interval 250 -bquant_ratio 150 -bquant_offset 100 -kboost 10 -kthresh 1 \

I have a successful procedure to report about how to embed forced subtitles only with BluRays, and if you're using HDC well enough there shouldn't be anything tricky, and it's actually really, really simple!

This works if you want to embed (or just include in the container) any and all forced-flagged subtitles that don't have their own subtitle tracks separate from the main feature-length subtitle track. (You could also include any subtitle track you want or your own creation or editing). My example here will be Avatar and how to include alien-only subtitles.

Steps:

Step 1) Use tsMuxer and open the m2ts file you wish to encode with HDC. This also works with BluRays that don't have one main movie m2ts but instead have a playlist... Angels & Demons, for example (You'll be using tsMuxer to mux the playlist into one m2ts file anyways, and then you will load that m2ts with txMuxer again). Once the single, main movie m2ts is loaded into tsMuxer, deselect all the tracks except for the full-length subtitle track. This is usually the first subtitle track on the list, most likely denoted as a "PSG" codec, and it will denote the language. Then, in the output section, select "Demux" and pick a save destination. Congratulations! A few minutes later, you will have a file with a .sup extension that is a file containing only the full-length subtitle track.

In the case of Avatar, it will be called "00002.track_4608.sup".

Step 2) Open the application called BDSup2Sub. Go File->Load and find your newly created .sup file. There may be some warnings within the application (300+ in Avatar's case) , which you can safely ignore. In the conversion options, I set my FPS target to match the FPS of the input, but I'm totally unsure if this was necessary or what it even did (but it worked!). Hit "OK". Now, you can browse through all of the subtitles and see that they are, in fact, your Avatar subtitles. Now, for the super easy part, hit File->Save/Export, select a file name and destination, and be sure to check "Export Forced Only". Congratulations! You now have *another* .sup file extension, this one containing only the Forced subtitles (in this case, only the alien-language subtitles).

You can Load this new file with BDSup2Sub and look at what subtitles is contains to confirm that it is, indeed, just the forced subtitles now. It's a good idea to check anyways, since you might find a subtitle in the mix that you dont' want (in Avatar's case, there's a weird one at the very end of the list, that I excluded and then resaved. It is subtitle #83, click on the editing frame in the lower right, check "Exclude from Export" and select Save Changes or OK).

My final file was called ForcedFinal.sup.

Step 3) Load your m2ts with HDConverttoX as normal. Analyze as normal, select all your preferred settings as normal. However, make sure you select the main movie subtitle track, and select "Embed Subtitle in Video Stream". Select your output save file as normal, and then Add to Queue.

Step 4) Look through your queue. Somewhere in there you will notice a few incidences of .sup files being called upon. In Avatar's case, having selected the main movie subtitle track, it will be in the filepath "\HDConvertToX_2.5.624.4217\job1\hdencodertox__subs_9.sup". On the second occurence of this filepath, manually replace the entire filepath in the queue with the filepath of the forced-only .sup you created. Voila! Start your queue, and watch the magic.



Here's what my queue ended up looking like. Note where I have replaced HDC's own created .sup with my own ForcedFinal.sup:

As your command window churns, you can watch and confirm the effectiveness of this procedure. First it will analyze the main english subtitle track that you selected and create it's own .sup file. It will report that it found X many subtitles (~2000 as I recall) as well as 83 forced ones. Then it will likely do the audio. When the audio finishes, it will procede to run through the .sup it created to make a new file extension type .idx, which I imagine it will call upon at the very end when it creates the ISO. However, by replacing that second occurence with your own .sup, it will load *your* .sup and create the .idx which contains what it analyzed off of *your* .sup. You will notice as the command window churns that, in Avatar's case, it will only churn out 82 lines of subtitles (83 if you left in the weird one at the end), because this is how many are in your forced-only .sup, as opposed to the couple thousand that would normally be in the full-length film.

This worked perfectly for me, so it should work for you!

Are you sure mate? The reason I ask is I encoded using Blu-Ray Stream Extractor and it used the same files and finished doing so.
I have finished with these files anyway. I thought I should let you know. This will help you find a problem if its eac3to then should'nt Blu-Ray Stream Extractor stuff up as well?
thanks

if " Blu-Ray Stream Extractor " estract correctly the stream, would be very usefull to know the command line used!
so i can spot difference on my eac3to command line

Current version (2.5.647.4289) is working great for me at this point.

However, I have a very small and stupid issue - every time the program is updated, using the update check in the program, it is resetting the AVIMux_GUI.exe compatibility settings. Every time the program is updated we must go back and manually change the compatibility settings to Windows XP settings so the program will work properly in Windows 7. Can this be changed so it will keep the settings or will there be a new version of AVIMux_GUI.exe that works properly on Windows 7?

Just thought I'd ask :)

I love the program for my BR conversions. It would also be great if the program could handle some other video type conversions as well - such as MP4 to AVI, etc. If so, this would be a great all-in-one conversion tool.

i don't change the avimux propierties! do i don't know.. what happen. BUT in last full package i have added the avimux-gui compatible with win7...

.. and mp4 CAN be converted to avi, what's the problem ?

@lotrmith

thanks a lot for your effort and guide!
your experience would be useful for other users too :)

if " Blu-Ray Stream Extractor " estract correctly the stream, would be very usefull to know the command line used!
so i can spot difference on my eac3to command line


I did not use the command line mate. Used the gui here
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=141829

In fact I dropped the gui in the application folder for HDC and it worked with this setting and more. -quality=0.20. However found out it encodes in VBR but did the job.

thanks

[gibbyman]

The line I provided above uses xvid encraw defaults except for the min/max quantizers which the defaults are 1 - 31 and max B frame setting which the default is 2. By reducing the max quantizer settings to 16 with the encraw defaults you might get a larger file size with better quality and still hit the target size. Keep in mind that your audio bitrate and number of audio channels you use will play a role in the final file size. Try it :)


Ok, thank for clarifying (although I didn't understand much.
Anyway - I created a new profile and tried it.

And well.. the file that previously ended up being 650mb big (target 1200mb) now got 1500mb big instead... same target bitrate (more or less).
I realize I have to take the audio into account but the difference is quite big, don't you think?

Either way - since these encodes are intended to be a bit for when I'm "on the move" using a 10" screen I'm tempted to continue with the "insane quality" setting instead and just be happy with what I get. The reason for asking was more out of curiosity than anything else...

Thanks again for your help!

is there any known issue with vobsubs (from DVD in *.sub/+.idx format) doesnt show up in the "Audio & Sub Selection"-Tab after analyzing, when i use a *.mkv as source?
Is the errormessage in the eac3to-log a hint?

The mkv comes from my Original-DVD, so i can exclude that the subtitel-track is modified an any way.
Its playing fine with and without subs.
I can demuxx with mkvextract without problems

If i test this with the original DVD the subtitel-streams show up as everytime.

I thought it worked in the past with older versions of your package, but not 100% sure.

Any Ideas?

[buzzqw]

eac3to doesn't support idx/sub in mkv file

in early version HDC allow "try" to extract it, but since numerous failure i removed that possibility.

and.. afaik eac3to doesn't support already vobsub...

BHH

[OLP]

ok, i understand that eac3 doesnt support extracting vobsubs from mkv-file.
But why its necessary to extract this with eac3to?
Its an Audio-tool....?!

Why not using mkvextract to do this work?

[buzzqw]

because hdc don't use mkvextract (till)

BHH

[Atak_Snajpera]

This is your mistake. Every container should be demuxed by proper tool. mp4 - mp4box , mkv - mkvextract and so on... eac3to has not been designed for mkv. This is just an extra feature.

[buzzqw]

i agree Atak.

eac3to is even too much powerful ;)

but.. i had thought about it from several time.

and here the first muck up http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta.exe

put in \applications folder mkvinfo.exe and mkvextract.exe

for now it will be used only for subtitle extraction when dealing with mkv
i had already prepared for audio, but extracting audio and encoding with eac3to is a loss in time.. better feed eac3to with mkv and let it deal with audio...

BHH

[OLP]

downloaded the beta and copy the mkvinfo.exe + mkvextract.exe from mkvtoolnix into the HDC-App-Folder.

Starting the beta, loading a mkv and analyzing this gives NOTHING in the "Audio & Sub Selection"-Tab.
No Subtitels to check, and no "None"-Checkbox.....the field is empty...

seems not working as intended :)

[buzzqw]

please post a sample of your file (post on mediafire, use dgplit by neuron2 to cut)
only "vobsub" media type are recognized

also.. try to lauch from dos mkvinfo.exe myfile.mkv , from \applications folder

make sure you don't get errors...

worked so far withou errors, but mkvinfo seems to very sensitive with file-names. had to rename my file to a simple one to get it to work.

did also a 2nd test with hdc-beta with the renamed file.

thanks

for me is ok
i got only 1 sub , a vob/idx tagged as german language

please try this.. copy all file from your mkvtoolnix installation (3.4.0 version) to \applications folder of hdc
maybe some dlls was missing..
then launch hdc and reload your file

EDIT: P.S. just uploaded a new beta version, better layout and support for ssa extraction

done.

"none"-checkbox is now there :)

but no subs....
(using the same testfile that i send you)

dont understand whats the problem.

Maybe something with the difference in our OS
Using Vista 64bit here atm....

[buzzqw]

uploaded a new beta
in \analysis folder will be created a mkvinfo.bat and mkvinfo.txt

then hdc will parse mkvinfo.txt..
should be more "secure proof"

thanks!

downloaded the new beta.
same result: no subs, but none-checkbox.

[buzzqw]

the problem is in localized versione of mkvtoolnix

i parse the file and search for "language" not sprache , "Codec ID" and here is "Codec-ID"

please try http://www.64k.it/andres/data/Varie/mkvinfo.rar

download , unrar and put into \application folder

... finger crossed... and retry!

BHH

[OLP]

nothing changed, mkvinfo.txt is still in german


but i will try to reinstall mkvtoolnix in english and retry

[OLP]

after only deinstalling mkvtoolnix the mkvinfo.txt is now in english but still no subs, but "none"-checkbox.

btw it seems that the system is ignoring the path that you write in your mkvinfo.bat.
it seems to me that if mkvtoolnix is installed the system load the mkvinfo.exe from the installation-path and not from the path that is written in the *.bat.

[buzzqw]

repost your mkvinfo.txt

thanks

AND redowload hdc beta!

[gibbyman]

Hi All!

Maybe this is not exactly the right thread for this kind of questions, but since it is the HDC I'm using I thought I'd start with you guys first...

The last couple of days I've been experimenting with the 1-pass quality crf mode (mkv) encoding 4 different movies with crf 18, crf 19, crf 20 with preset "slow" to look for differences in quality/size and all that...

Now I realize that everything is relative and depending on the clip that I encode, but is it in any way possible to get an idea on when for example crf 19 in a slower mode (more to the right on the preset scale) becomes equal to crf 18 on a preset that's a bit faster, e.g. more to the left on the slider? Or the other way around?

I'm kinda of trying to find a good balance between speed/quality (aren't we all?) and well... recent testing tells me that it ain't that easy to settle in for a good choice of settings...

Any input on that?

[OLP]

1. IT WORKED now under strange circumstances
2. i have to copy wxbase28u_gcc_custom.dll and wxmsw28u_core_gcc_custom.dll from mkvtoolnix to hdc/app
(mkvinfo.exe and mkvextract.exe also)

3. with the newest beta there is no mkvinfo.txt anymore :)

4. With Installer-Version of mkvtoolnix it doesnt work. nothing matter if english or german version.

5. it only worked for me after if i have mkvtoolnix without installroutine in a path that is not the normal installpath
(VERY STRANGE)


btw...what you are doing with BDSup2Sub after extracting with mkvextract??

[buzzqw]

@gibbyman

afaik there is some tools (python script)
but it's a lot better to open a thread in avc forum

found the error with bdsup

your produced commandline has a misspelling

yours:

should be:

4) ???


if i use the mkvtoolnix with windowsinstaller it will be installed in the path c:\program files (x86)\mkvtoolnix

no matter of language i choose it dont work.

i have to use the mkvtoolnix zip-version and put the package elsewhere.

if i put it manualy in the same path as above it also didnt work.

no clue whats the prob here

@OLP

about bdsup.. yes.. i already know it.. it's a leftover.. it shouldn't be run
but .. due to errors.. it will not cause damage ;)

you cannot use decimal value for quality. only integer
ivfenc doesn't support it

definitely encoded but no file outputted. There is an indeo file created in the job folder.

Since ffdshow doesn't have vp8 support yet, what is the best means to playback the file?

1) download vp8decoder.dll
2) run cmd.exe as administrator
3) regsvr32 ../vp8decoder.dll

[buzzqw]

since muxing isn't avaiable you got only the "hdconverttox_charlotte_s butterfly cake.ivf" file

when mkvmerge works with ivf you will got your file

BHH

[flebber]

1) download vp8decoder.dll

I got the vp8decoder from havokdan here http://www.kmplayer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16644

Not used but I also found a webm Dshow exe to install webm support on windows here http://code.google.com/p/webm/downloads/list

[flebber]

Regarding stable HDC, I have two minor feature requests.

1) Is it be possible to be able to have the final saved file name, also be the muxed title name. Big benefit if using a player like VLC which displays muxed title name not file name. I opened a directory in VLC playlist and found I had lots of files all named "Done with HDConvertToX v.2.5.649.4295"

2) Import chapters from file automatically like handbrake.

[buzzqw]

@flebber

1) done (only for mkv muxing)
2) done (only for mkv/dvd/m2ts input and for mkv output)

BHH

[Brilliant]

Talking about minor things:

- when the encoding starts, "Starting encoding" is printed on the bottom line in the interface. But when all is over, nothing happens to alert us that the encoding is finished. Could you just show us a message box with something like "Encoding successfully finished!" or whatever makes sense to you? Or simply refresh the interface line?

- when the "save file" line is left empty, in my humble opinion the resulting file and the JobX folder should go in the folder specified in the "open file" box. Or, as it can be seen in many interfaces elsewhere, a near checkbox is used with "Source dir" text: when it is selected, an empty "save file" line means just that.

Thanks for your attention.

it's impossibile to hdc knowing when encoding job is finished, due to nature of queue (batch files)

about save on input folder... don't know.. i will like to know more users opinion

i can add a check at right of save file string "Autoname it and put into input folder".. or something similar...

Correct me if I'm wrong here - but it is my understanding that when the setup of your encode is done HDC no longer has anything to do with the rest of the process. The rest is done by a "script" (it's probably not a script technically - I don't really know the lingo here, but I'm sure you understand what I mean, right?) that calls the applications involved and instructs them to do what's in this "script". And HDC is "only" a very easy way of setting this up, the rest is up to all the individual applications involved. (You can even close the actual HDC application after starting a queue)

What I'm trying to say is that I'm not sure it is possible to make HDC tell you when the job is finished.

What you could do is add your job(s) to a queue and in the righthand bottom part of the queue settings tab click "add pause". In that way the window where all the stuff happens stays open after the job is done, and if you want to take it one step further you add a line changing the color of all the text in the window upon completion (how to do that is also in this thread, I just don't remember where) making it easy to see when the job is done.

Hope I didn't make it to complicated...

- Hey Buzz! Couldn't we have the "add pause" function change the color of the text as well so we don't have to add that manually? Or am I the only one who would appreciate that?

While I'm at it I actually have a question of my own for you guys...

When you set up a queue of 8-10 jobs (thought I'd let my computer do some good while I was away the other weekend) and add the "pause" in the end I've noticed that only the last 3-5 jobs are still in the "dos"-window when I want to review the jobs. The rest seems to have been "purged"/removed/whatever.

I don't know if this is a limitation within Windows setting how many rows that get to stay in this window or if it is something we can control, so I'm wondering if you guys know if this can be fixed?
I mean - is it possible to make my HDC/Windows/whatever program involved display all the jobs done?

it's a settings in cmd windows
and very easy to resolve

click right on cmd windows (while encoding..) , propierties
go on layout , set the first value (width ?) to 999

click ok, and say ok to save for all the same window

BHH

@Brilliant

It's a pity you can't control it!

I'm a programmer, too (database software, nothing to do with encoding... ), and I know I can start external process/es (be it a single line or batch file) and have it returning to the same calling method. So I thought you could do it in a similar way.

OK, no problem. Thanks anyway, to you and gibbyman. :)

yes.. i could check the handle of cmd win .. but.. it's so important ;) ?

Well, since you ask me, my answer is: yes, it is! Both my points are! I wouldn't have highlighted them in my previous post otherwise... :)

But you are in charge of HDC, so you decide! In any case I'm glad you gave us this piece of software.

Figured it out. Simple error because I had been editing the basic filters field when playing with avs strings I ended up leaving the field blank.

I went back and filled in the field as "None" and now it is all up again.

Just realised the import chapter feature isn't working correctly. This is the mediainfo the last file encoded has a menu entry no chapter. tested file in VLC and KMP and no chapter working.

for dvd input you must select the IFO (video_ts.ifo) for getting the chapter
the vob doesn't have the chapter structure

@Sharc

Yes, analysis worked and scripts play fine.

After restarting everything from scratch the interlace test worked. It appears however that the original DVD stream is a bit problematic (that's why I made the interlace test...)

a) DGindex did automatically apply some fixes to its .d2v as it found some illegal field order transitions.
Here the final result of the Interlace Test:
Source is declared tff by a margin of 139/116.
Analyzed 1820 sections of five frames
Found Interlace Sections: 12 0.66%
Found Progressive Sections:1804 99.12%

Found Two Mov: 0.22% 4
Found Three Mov: 0.11% 2
Found Four Mov: 0.05% 1
Found Five Comb: 0.16% 3

The Movie is declared to progressive

b) Indexing with DGNV did not complain about illegal transitions.
Here the final result of the Interlace Test:
Source is hybrid bff and tff at 0 bff and 0 tff.
Analyzed 1705 sections of five frames
Found Interlace Sections: 10 0.59%

Found Three Mov: 0.18% 3
Found Four Mov: 0.06% 1
Found Five Comb: 0.18% 3

The Movie is declared to progressive

Anyway, in both cases the conclusion from the HDC Interlace Test is 'progressive', which confirms my 'manual' analysis.:)

When i select the ifo file of a multi episode DVD file, I checked the multiple episode box and accept pgc. But this only selects the info for the first pgc.

Is there anyway to select all pgc's and have full encoding including chapters put into queue?

I have only one ifo file for all multiple episodes.

Edit: PS downloading your new beta now to test:)

[ckmox]

cool updates SSA subtitles automatically muxed to mkv is full of win

@buzzqw
there is a small annoyance that i always wanted to say though its the commandline can the commandline be removed and just make a progress bar at the bottom or a windows pop up that has progress bar that shows whatever HDConvertToX is doing? it will be awesome if you implemented this

[flebber]

@buzzqw

tested your latest beta one normal x264/mkv encode and one webm/mkv encode. Both have completed successfully the webm has muxed to mkv.

However i still an unable to playback file webm. mediainfo says that your file is sweet(see below).

I have attempted to install vp8 decoder support as atak posted earlier in this thread, installed 0.9.8.1 webm installer from http://code.google.com/p/webm/downloads/list and inalled vlc 1.1 rc2 which is supposed to support webm but the file doesn't play.

Its likely your file is okay but i cannot confirm yet. The vlc error is No suitable decoder module:
VLC does not support the audio or video format "VP80". Unfortunately there is no way for you to fix this.

just unzip and run installer, this will add the correct directshow filters
then you file is playable with mpc-hc

BHH

Thats the one I have used to install webm filters, I haven't used mpc-hc yet I did use kmplayer though and it failed to play file. When I get home I will try mpc-hc and see how it goes.

I will also lodge a bug for vlc webm support

[nx6]

I have attempted to install vp8 decoder support as atak posted earlier in this thread, installed 0.9.8.1 webm installer from http://code.google.com/p/webm/downloads/list and inalled vlc 1.1 rc2 which is supposed to support webm but the file doesn't play.
VLC is not a direct-show compatible player. It uses it's own decoders for everything. This is why Substation Alpha subtitle styling support didn't exist until v0.90 and HD h264 playback was lousy until v1.0. The SSA support was actually ported from the libass code in MPlayer.

Make sure you list it as a feature-request for WebM support. It's not a bug since it's not supported right now. They may just close your ticket for listing it as a bug incorrectly (yes, they really are this jerky).

It was published that VLC was supporting webm, some of the test versions of the 1.1.0 test versions have tried webm support but not working. Support removed for the current 1.1.0rc1 release. I hadn't realised this before.

from http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=76798
many fixes over 1.1.0-pre4, with notably:
- x264 options update for preset/tune
- Translations update
- Multiple Qt and Mac OS X interfaces fixes
- Fixes for H264 decoding with DR, Audio Convertion, DxVA2 decoding
- DVD, flv, MP4, AVI and AVI/ODML demuxing fixes and improvements
- VP8/Webm decoding support <== REMOVED

Tried MPC-HC but still noluck with WebM playback.

[flebber]

I have been able to get webm playback up, and buzzqw your encoded file with the beta build was good.

webm decoder from the google.code site would not work for me at all. I have been able to get playback via a VLC build with webm support found here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EU2B1PGB

@flebber

:) glad it worked!

thanks for your test

[Homer5995]

Hello,
I have been using this program for a couple of months and love it, but with a recent upgrade to a new AMD Phenom II X4 3.4ghz Quad Core, hdconverttox is giving me some issues.

I am getting this error when trying to encode Avatar to H264 MKV: "The h264 muxer doesn't support this stream type yet. Please send a 20mb sample to dear@madshi.net Aborted at file position 25109200896."

I am running Windows 7 and followed the link on the first post to set up hdconverttox properly, but I am thinking that maybe the Haali included with the latest Klite Codec pack is outdated? If this is the case, can someone tell me how to update it so it still works in Windows 7?

Avatar worked fine on my old 4ghz P4, but it took 5 days to finish, and I didn't include the forced subs.

Thanks for any help!

[Homer5995]

Nevermind,
I think I fixed it by allowing the K lite codek pack to do an update during a reinstall, but now I have another minor issue:

In XP, x264 used to give a percentage done and an estimated time remaining, along with which pass it was on during encoding, with Windows 7 it doesn't do that anymore, at least on my machine. Not a big deal, but is this normal?

[gibbyman]

Maybe someone else can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure this is about Win XP/Win 7.

What I do know is that the "standard" 32bit x264-encoder gives more info than the 64bit version of x264.

Have you perhaps changed into using that one instead?

[flebber]

Testing with the beta you posted I have an encode where it is unable to parse the wav file. I posted the make rport below.

Thanks for making this great program! Was looking for an easy way to shrink a 700mb to 350mb file for travel, and megui is a pain. I got a decent file that even my wife (she has better perception than I for detail) couldn't tell the difference!
Keep up the good work!

[buzzqw]

@flebber

there is something wrong on your way of selecting input

i can guess your first opened a file, then selected the ifo and you have click yes to "assume same properties"

@startreksuite

thanks startreksuite and Welcome to the Forum!

thanks for your kind words!

stay tuned.. a new version of HDC is coming out these days

[Sharc]

@buzzqw
Using latest beta version.
My source is a captured *.avi with PCM audio.
Audio decoding/conversion produces hdencodertox-pid1.ac3, which is fine.
The *.meta file however refers to hdencodertox-pidF.ac3, and muxing fails, unless I change F to 1.

[buzzqw]

@Sharc

got the error, is due to not allow muxing in mkv your input

download this build: http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta.exe

I cut ts.h264 files (DVB-S source) using h.264ts cutter, the problem is most time the new video has a glitch (a noise appear quickly just a once).
The problem happen only if I use ffdshow decoder, but using decoder like CoreAvc produce no problems.
Anyway, if I encode the new video with HDC the noise appear whatever decoder I use.

@Frozen-Frigo

The problem happen only if I use ffdshow decoder, but using decoder like CoreAvc produce no problems

if so force dss decoding to coreavc and set HDC to "Force DSS"

BHH

[Frozen-Figo]

@Frozen-Frigo



if so force dss decoding to coreavc and set HDC to "Force DSS"

BHH

After encoding even coreavc can't handle it ( I used Force DSS )

Here's a pic of problem (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/876/hdconverttoxfull10mkvsn.jpg)

Thanks

[Adub]

Did you set CoreAVC as the forced H264 Directshow decoder BEFORE encoding?

[Frozen-Figo]

Did you set CoreAVC as the forced H264 Directshow decoder BEFORE encoding?

I set MPC to use coreavc as a preferred decoder. Is there something else I must do?

Win XP SP3

[buzzqw]

it's useless set coreavc in mpc (for hdc)

you must set coreavc as preferred decoder Windows
(afaik there is an option on coreavc to make preferred...)

Is there a general rule to do this?

[buzzqw]

the "preferred decoder" is what i mean

try opening mkv with windows media player and check if coreavc is on use

also... are you sure that "Deinterlacing" must be active ?

Hi behub and Welcome to the Forum!

since i don't spot errors in your report , i have a question for you

what windows version ? 32 or 64bit ?

if you have win7 or vista have you set compatibility mode to winxp as stated on first post ?

BHH

[behub]

windows 7, 64 bit and yeah i set the compatibility mode

[gibbyman]

Wrote before I read the post in full... nevermind.
- Sorry..

[buzzqw]

@gibbyman and behub

no, sorry the ifo path isn't a problem since avimux know only the encoded file..

so it's to move HDC from c:\program files... to c:\rip\
or something

I'll give it a shot - going to let it run while i sleep :)

Thanks

[behub]

Same problem :(

[Frozen-Figo]

the "preferred decoder" is what i mean

try opening mkv with windows media player and check if coreavc is on use

also... are you sure that "Deinterlacing" must be active ?

BHH

I disabled ffdshow, so HDC use coreavc and it's work after set no Deinterlacing. The problem is most HD TV's don't work properly unless I use "BOB".

Thanks

Hello guys , i've got a problem with HDCX , although it is encoding all fine in the end there is no MKV output file...nowhere. What am i doing wrong, i have followed all instructions by the book . WIndows 7x64 user here

Same as before. If i remove the 'START' line from the script and manually run the script by dragging it onto the AVIMux window it works fine when i click the 'Start' button.

Great! New beta! =)

I just wanted to say, that for my current needs HDC is already the best tool and doesn't need anything else! :rolleyes:

Tnx Buzz and everyone! :thanks:

[delacroixp]

Is there anyway I can get HDConverToX to work with Raw avi .
A friend of mine asked me to compress 45 seconds of edited output from Adobe Premiere Pro ... originally shot on his 1440x1080 mpeg2 HD camcorder .
HDC muxes the clip into MKV and then stalls .

I can't even play the file on my system ... not with MPC Home Cinema , VLC nor Windows Media Player .
I'm guessing that FFdshow can't handle the file or isn't setup correctly ... eventhough it plays fine on his system .
I tried encoding on his system but HDC stalls (K-Lite installed) .

A minor issue only:
When selecting ac3 and cbr the pulldown menu for the bitrate should include 448 an 640 (same as it already does for abr)

[Hominidae]

I have a problem where the AVIMux-Gui Script fails to 'start'

If i remove the 'START <Filename>' from the script, load the script manually and manually click 'start' it works perfect. Seems like the line in the script that is meant to start the process just doesn't seem to want to start.

Hi,

first I'd like to say :thanks: for this fine piece of work!

However, when trying to convert a .m2ts to xvid(AVI, fullHD, no crop/resize),
AVI output for files >4GB seems to be incompatible with my SAP.

I am using a Panasonic TVset and would like to access
the converted files via DLNA.
However, when I use "transcode/avimerge (http://www.transcoding.org/transcode?Transcode_Wiki)" (runs on linux)
to mux the eac3 and xvid files, my TV likes it without problems.
Since I am a windows noop, I'd like to know if some of the experts could
recommend an alternative to avisynth to perform the last step under win as well.

TIA!

regards,
Hominidae

for avi > 2gb HDC will activate ODML muxing, maybe your player is unable to handle it..
you can try this: add the job to queue, then goes to \applications folder and edit the mux1.amg and set the "OPENDML" to 0

then hit start queued job

thx for the fast response!
...did not work.
mux1.amg seems already set with "OPENDML = 0".
When the muxer starts, a GUI prompt pops up, saying that avi-sizes >2GB
would require to activate OPENDML....activate <yes>/<no> ?...yes would mux the avi with OPENDML, which my SAP renderer does not support...<no> would simply quit the mux process.
BTW: muxer would not start before removal of the START command in mux1.amg.. muxer would sit there forever otherwise...this time on win7-64...HDC works ok...had to start in admin mode in order of getting the video file analyzed.

I am a new user of hdconverttox.
I have an issue with the recoding of a movie with the dutch language. In this situation the recoding proces stops early.
I noticed the batch file created uses the language "ned", when I changed that to "nld" it works.

Example:

"D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\applications\MKVtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "D:\Convert.mkv" --default-duration 0:25.000fps --aspect-ratio -1:1.7778 "D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\job4\hdconverttox_vts_01_1.h264" --language -1:eng "D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\job4\hdencodertox-pid2.ac3" --language -1:nld "D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\job4\hdencodertox-pid3.ac3" --language -1:nld "D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\job4\hdencodertox-pid4.ac3" --default-track -1:no "D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\job4\hdc_subs.idx" --chapters "D:\HDConverToX 3Beta2\job4\chapters.txt"

HDC beta2. Source is *.avi
Problem: 'VisualCrop' shows cropping borders (blue) correctly but video is gray area only. (Video area is displayed correctly for non-avi sources like .vob or .m2ts)

[ziemlichdunkel]

HDC beta 2 (eac3to.exe) always gives me "not supported" error when working with DTS-HiRes Audio:
1: h264/AVC, 1920x1080 23.975p
2: DTS Master Audio, German, 7.1 channels, 24 bits, 48kHz, dialnorm: -4dB
(core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -4dB)
3: DTS Hi-Res, English, 7.1 channels, 24 bits, 2046kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -4dB
(core: DTS, 5.1 channels, 24 bits, 1509kbps, 48kHz, dialnorm: -4dB)
This audio conversion is not supported.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
pid3 log tells me it's using the following command for eac3to:
L:\temp\job1\hdencodertox-pid3.dts hi-res
------------------------------------------------------
In this example I tried to copy audio with checkbox "keep only core" , the DTS-Master went fine (but it has only 6chanels after conversion, is this a problem?), the DTS-HiRes gives the error, the same error happens when trying to convert to AC3.

---------------------------------------------------------
Also the programs gui seems to be gone little bit unstable, when starting my queue and leaving hdc open in the background, after some while (hours) the programm has closed (just the gui, the encoding is working fine in cmd), no open task anymore and nothing in the win application/system logs.
(that's why I can't provide a make report this time, but hope you can solve it anyway)
-----------------------------------------------------------

Has anyone had any issues with Low Audio when converting from MKV to WMV?

For a long time everything had been fine (old computer), now on a new system...I've noticed that if i Normalize audio i'll get no sound, and if i don't, the sound is extremely low compared to the source MKV.

Eac3to is set to handle audio, and even the ac3 file that gets extracted sounds perfect...but once it all comes together into the WMV...it's very very low.

Any suggestions?

btw..I'm trying out the 3.0 beta...and even tho the option to Log x264 is checked...doesn't seem to be happening unless i just can't find the file.


Thanks

pid3 log tells me it's using the following command for eac3to:

In this example I tried to copy audio with checkbox "keep only core" , the DTS-Master went fine (but it has only 6chanels after conversion, is this a problem?), the DTS-HiRes gives the error, the same error happens when trying to convert to AC3.

please post the make report, thanks

Also the programs gui seems to be gone little bit unstable, when starting my queue and leaving hdc open in the background, after some while (hours) the programm has closed (just the gui, the encoding is working fine in cmd), no open task anymore and nothing in the win application/system logs.
(that's why I can't provide a make report this time, but hope you can solve it anyway)

sorry.. but when queue start, hdc is no more in use, you can close it without problem.
i can only guess you have close it

@all

Do not respond further to South-East Mendez's issue. He is dealing in rule 6 material as shown by his followup post that has been moved to thread moderation as it points to a source of illegitimate material. Thank you.

@South-East Mendez

Per rule 17, do not discuss this moderation decision here. Follow the documented process if you want to appeal it.

Attached is the requested make report of the DTS File which I can't convert with copy audio and keep only core.
See my error-message before in the last post.

Also the program really closes itself without interaction after a period of time (I checked it again), not a big problem but somehow strange... (running it on coreI7 Win7 64bit)
---------------------------------------------------------------Request:
Is it somehow possible to set "Force direct show source 2" as default when loading the program? It's the only setting which I use and is not saved in the profile.

I got the error also when just using the extracted DTS File so I thought it would be easier for you not to have the unnecessary movie part in the make report, but anyway I will post it when I'm back at home.

In the Gui I selected EAC3to so I'm wondering why it's trying to use nicaudio? (Maybe because I only used the DTS as input this time?)

Is there a quick way of converting multiple episodes of a TV show without having to analyse each episode?

I've tried using the check box for multi episode DVD but there's something wrong with the DVD and it's coming back as only having a 1 second long title.

If I select each individual IFO it will take me forever to copy the entire series. Is there any way select multiple IFO files and output them to separate files with common filesize and codec settings etc?

The source, a HD-PVR file, plays flawlessly, but when I run it though this is the notation I get as it converts it.

The video is fine, but the audio is slightly out of sync when the avi is played back.

Any ideas?

The report is attached.

**** update *******

Ran the Mpeg2/TS file through mpeg2repair which, when the conversion is run, the are now no errors, YET still an audio lag.

[typhoon_2099]

I have another problem. I'm trying to convert a DVD to MP4, x264, Nero AAC, and english subtitles. However, when the process is finished, all the subtitles from the DVD are included (there's about 13 tracks).

The only workaround I've found is to rip the DVD again but only extract the english subtitle stream.

Hi all!

1. I'm having a strange problem encoding my VMWare video captures. When I analyze the file, HDC sets ForceDirectShowSource. The problem is that the resulting MKV file runs too quickly, as if I sped it up, although it reports the proper framerate and duration. If I set Force FFmpegSource before encoding, it runs with the correct speed (FPS and duration are same as with ForceDirectShowSource), but the mouse cursor that was captured in the original video is no longer visible.

Here are the sample file, reports and resulting encodes:
http://www.multiupload.com/5SL69MVUTA

2. If the original file has no audio, but I forget to turn it off in the options, HDC starts encoding but finishes without a resulting file. Could this be fixed by automatically disabling audio in the encoding options if no audio is detected, or give some kind of warning?

3. I'm using the latest 2.5 version - v.2.5.649.4295. and have these same problems:

[twipley]

Hey. Great software.

Although, why not put it default to x264 in MKV? :)

And perhaps, too, to "copy (original) audio." More importantly, I think the de-noise filters should best be put to off by default. Unless I'm wrong. ;)

Yours,
twipley

[Adub]

@twipley
You can create your own profile with your preferred settings and then load this when you start the program. That way you can always be outputting to H264 in MKV (remember x264 is a compressor, not a standard) and keep your original audio.

[twipley]

Ye. I've already done that. Although I still wonder why the denoise filters are put on (though at "slight") by default.

I had problems with some conversions but through other programs; the error always was the source, and choosing DVDFab as the "disc extractor," main-movie option, in most cases fixed the issue.

check your dss configuration (namely ffdshow) if something is "wrong"
or change decoder for your capture

ffdshow has default options set. It wasn't loading when I watched the original file in ZoomPlayer or WMP. It did when I enabled Raw video in ffdshow codecs, but no change in encoding results. Could you take a look at the sample?

Thanks for the reply, but this isn't a dvd rip (unless I missed something) and I simply can not fix it in VDub, which is what I've been doing for donkey's years.

Interestingly though, when I allow Beyond TV's Divx conversion to run, there isn't a problem.

Leads me to believe there is a problem with HD-CTX.

[buzzqw]

@*Touche*

there is something very weird with your files

all the samples have 25 fps, but there is a speedup on dss decoding

you can try opening the hdconverttox_testni1.avs in mpc and let's play it (or virtualdub) and check for information

another try is to force for dss decoding the changefps to 12.5 or similar

anyway i doubt that's a problem of hdc

could you post the original sample ? (since Testni1.avi don't have cursor i don't think it's the original)

BHH

[*Touche*]

Hmm, it is the original. I have the cursor when I play it.

"you can try opening the hdconverttox_testni1.avs in mpc and let's play it (or virtualdub) and check for information"

What information should I check for?

And how come FFmpegsource doesn't speed it up?

[buzzqw]

ffmpegsource rely on ffmpeg, directshowsource rely on... directshowsource!

these are two different kind of decoding, each one with pro and cons

every extra id line adds another subtitle option to the final film, and since there are no timestamps, it's just an empty subtitle stream.

[flebber]

Two questions, when I am accepting PGC and select Multi Episodes, would there be any way to have all multi episodes added to queue as individual encodes?

Can I set a fixed width to use so that once file has been analysed and cropped that all adjuetments are made to the fixed width? Eg if I set width to 720 and I want it to stay at that regardless of analysis but leave height adjustable.

[flebber]

Would it be easy to enable a set Fixed height option in the profile text.
#Crop&Resize
Crop Obey to AR=0
Follow ITU Resizing=0
No Resize Crop=0
Anamorphic=0
Set MOD Width=16
Set MOD Height=16
Set Height = 720
Set Width = 400
No AutoCrop=0

Could be useful for specific device profiles that need set display size options Or leaving the Width Variable = Off could allow for automatic cropping and resizing.

[jackkoho]

hello,
Ever since I upgrade to latest version, I find that the final file is not made onto wherever I save it, and I have to mux the .avi and .mp3 from jobx folder manually.

Is there any log file I can post to help identify the problem?

....

every extra id line adds another subtitle option to the final film, and since there are no timestamps, it's just an empty subtitle stream.

i can look.. but seems more an issue due to vsrip/mp4box...

Two questions, when I am accepting PGC and select Multi Episodes, would there be any way to have all multi episodes added to queue as individual encodes?

you must select each episodes and add one at time

Can I set a fixed width to use so that once file has been analysed and cropped that all adjuetments are made to the fixed width? Eg if I set width to 720 and I want it to stay at that regardless of analysis but leave height adjustable.

you can always say yes to assume same properties to all file
in this way no change is made on width/height


hello,
Ever since I upgrade to latest version, I find that the final file is not made onto wherever I save it, and I have to mux the .avi and .mp3 from jobx folder manually.

Is there any log file I can post to help identify the problem?

Jackkoho (numerous time donor)

this problem is fixed in next release
you can download the "beta3" package build (some post above)

BHH

The only issue is that with multi episode DVD you are reopening the same ifo which means re-analyzing to access the other PGC's. Unless I am doing it wrong?

For Each PGC it seems I need to reanalyse the ifo to access the next PGC.

[buzzqw]

yes, you are right, you must reopen the ifo

BHH

[flebber]

yes, you are right, you must reopen the ifo

BHH

Buzzqw but that then resets the sizing as its re analyzed, thats why i questioned either being able to fix width or import all pgc's from a multi-episode at once.

Hey Mate. just writing in regards to Linux compatibility. I remember a few years back you had said that Automkv will run on Linux using Wine (limited)

wine 1.2 was released a few days ago http://www.winehq.org/announce/1.2

Loads and loads of changes here. I can play most modern games fine using wine and am wondering what you think about using hdconvertox on wine??

I am going to try run an encode using WINE however Ii am not an expert. I know there are many options in hdconvertox, some which when turned on may trip a bug in wine.

If we get good results running on Linux, maybe it could get mentioned it on the main page. I would be happy to help attempt a tutorial for getting it running on wine although I have never done one before, but I’m sure I’ll be able to sort it out..


Cheers!!

[technoir1]

@alter4

in next full update hdc bitrate will put files in standard analysis folder

@technoir1

:(
at home i have only linux computers (fedora and ubuntu).. consider this..

until eac3to don't work on linux.. i cannot resolve

BUT, don't worry, for sure i will do something for linux too :)

BHH

wine 1.2 runs eac3to with a "platinum rating"

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=11844

would there be a way to make a hdconvertox linux version and WINE to run the eac3to program since it does not run natively in linux??

I am not a programmer but the idea seems possible right?

I'd like to try the Beta version but I don't want to search through the entire thread to find the beta package and then the latest updates. I don't want to miss any crucial updates. What do you think about adding the beta package and beta updates to the first post? I think with a warning message people will understand that it's just a beta. This might get you a few more people trying it out and providing feedback for you.

Thanks,
Garth

[flebber]

Buzzqw I have been testing the latest beta but have a serious issue. Beta-3 is crashing after analysing file.

I select analyse file, check multi episodes and accept pgc. HDC at this point is crashing it doesn't give me the opportunity to issue a make report as it has already crashed.

Edit is version : 3.0.667.4452 and note that the last stable version handles ifo file fine.

I am using version 2.5.649.4295 and have tried to convert a bluray to avi xvid and in the video settings say that I want a 10,000 bitrate and it is outputting only a 500-700 bit video

I've also tried setting the output video size to be 10 GB and it's again giving me only 500-700 MB file sizes

I've tried setting size to 0 or 10 GB (10000 MB) or setting bitrate and all combinations, but I always get this horribly low outputted video size/quality.

What am I doing wrong ?

Here is the report output - in this case I tried setting the output size to 8000 MB (8 GB)file size and only got a file with only 512 kbps bitrate - amounting to an output video size of 573 MB

I'm lost on this issue... why isn't it giving me what I want?

Actually probably know what caused my error, I just placed the latest beta.exe in the 2.5 HDC folder. There probably is a new HDC app folder as well isn't there.:)

[buzzqw]

@TraumaDoc

xvid_encraw don't handle correctly bitrate over 10000.
You must use a bitrate of 9999

@flebber
hdc 3 has a different folder structure!

[gasnyder]

@Buzzqw,

Another user directed me to the current BETA versions.

I have a few items for you based on my first test.

1) Thanks to your helpful NVtools check, I decided to download the latest nvtools package (2023). Since version 2021, there is only one .dll included in the release dgDecodeNV.dll does the multisource stuff now and doesn't need dgMultiDecodeNV.dll anymore. I just copied the first and renamed it to satisfy your check, so this isn't really a problem. Just something to be aware of for the future.

2) My first job was to encode a .mkv file to a .avi file. Everything worked until the mux. The program crashed with two errors posted. Here is the mux.amg file that was generated:
CLEAR
LOAD C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta2\job1\hdconverttox_movie.avi
LOAD C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta2\job1\hdencodertox-pid2.mp3

SET OPTION OVERWRITEDLG 0
SET OPTION DONEDLG 0
SET OPTION ALL AUDIO 1
SET OPTION ALL SUBTITLES 1
START D:\HDC\MainMovie\Movie\VIDEO_TS\D2_movie.avi

It gave me errors about CBR checking and resdlg checking. I compared a .amg from HDC 2.X and noticed a line "Set Options Input" that wasn't there in the Beta version. I added the line in the .amg file above (in red) and the mux worked fine. I really don't know what I'm doing, so I hope this makes sense to you.

I'm using version 3.0.667.4452.

What do you get if you copy the ChapterGen.exe line to a command window and run it? Do you get an error? Does it create a file?

Buzzqw to kid proof HDC would it be possible to be able to minimize HDC to tray so my kids don't click on it whilst its encoding. Less important but could the console be hidden as well, maybe just have a basic progress monitor in HDC instead?

[buzzqw]

since i have kids too ( 2.5 years, 1.1 year !) i fully understood your problem :p
hdc can be closed and encoding can run
hdc has no way (actually) to get a progress report..

about hidden console.. could be done.. but you will not see anything till end of queue

Better Idea: Keep a separate user account on Windows for the kids, and require a password to get into your own account. You can log into your side, set up and start encoding jobs, then switch users into their side. They wont be able to mess with what's running of your side (or get into your personal files, website favorites, etc.) without your password.

The only danger at that point is them turning off the PC.

Knew you would understand with the kids :). I am using new beta4 and its working without error for me, I was wondering though how you would incorporate new GOP and multi slice options?

[buzzqw]

beta 5

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta5.rar

what's new ?

totally changed audio handling for mkv input
now on mkv input hdc will use mkvinfo for analyze the audio/subs part

and will use mkvextract as preprocessor for eac3to since the new header removal option is incompatible with eac3to

please, try it and report back!

@edit: what should i change for opengop and multi slice options ?

BHH

[flebber]

I was doing an encode with latest beta and my system felt more sluggish than usual. I brought up the process and x264 was running at 357000. I don't usually look at this is this usual?
http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4098/4852972339_0e73915613.jpg

Cool you posted beta as I was typing this will try beta5

[buzzqw]

mem usage is due to script/encoding options...

BHH

[gasnyder]

@buzzqw

I found a couple of problems with Beta5.

There is a path error in the line that tries to extract the .ac3 file from the .mkv file...

"C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta5\applications\mkvmerge\mkvextract.exe" tracks "d:\hdc\mainmovie\testmovie\video_ts\testmovie.mkv" 2:"C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta5\job1\mkv_audio_2_.ac3"

It should be ...applications\mkvtoolnix\mkvextract.exe

After fixing that, I ran into another error when eac3to tries to convert the .ac3 file into a .mp3 file.

"C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta5\applications\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta5\job1\mkv_audio_2_.ac3" 2: stdout.wav -down16 -down2 | "C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta5\applications\audio\lame.exe" - -h --cbr -b 160 "C:\HDC\HDConvertToX_3Beta5\job1\hdencodertox-pid2.mp3"

This gives an unsupported audio format error. By changing the :2 to :1 (or removing it) it makes the encode happen. I'm guessing the :2 is leftover from processing the .mkv file instead of the already extracted .ac3 file.

And I see Beta5 fixed the Chapter extraction problem I was going to report on Beta 4... Thanks!

[buzzqw]

thanks gasnyder

tomorrow i will publish beta6!

BHH

[gasnyder]

@Buzzqw

Before you publish beta6, I think I have one more for you. I still see issues with chapters in Beta 5.

If I start HDC and setup an encode from DVD Vob to MKV, it picks ChapterGen.exe in Beta4 or ChapterExtractor.exe in Beta5 to get the chapter information. That seems to work like it should.

If I happen to setup an encode from mkv to avi (just have to 'add to queue'), then open up the .ifo file and setup the DVD Vob to MKV encode, it tries to use mkvextract.exe to extract the chapter information. This doesn't seem to be valid and doesn't work. I clicked "NO" when it asked "Assume same properties as previous file?". I also loaded my mpegToMkv profile to do this, although I don't think the profile load affects it. It appears that some "processing mkv" flag is left on that causes this.

After an overnight encode, I found no output file, I traced it back to the bad chapters.txt file and was able to run ChapterExtractor.exe from Beta2 to get the chapters and then ran the mkvmerge.exe line to get the mkv file without having to redo the entire encode.

Thanks for the quick turn around on fixes. I know there are too many options for you to test every possible encoding method before each release, so I don't mind helping kill the bugs.

[buzzqw]

@gasnyder

beta 6

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta6.rar

fixed mkvextract path
fixed ID for eac3to
fixed chaptergen/mkvextract chapter for mkv/ifo

thanks!

[marklar]

Hi buzzqw,

I am back on this thread after longer time and I see that HDC has still very frequent and interesting updates. Perfect job :thanks:

I started to test this new beta, it has almost all features I was missing before ;) and it works fine on my Win 7 64 bit.

I do have only one very strange problem. When I start job and I am working on my laptop while transcoding (mkv to mkv), everything works fine. But when I start the job and leave my laptop unattended (e.g. during night), then I find my laptop crashed somewhere in the middle of the job }while transcoding video from mpeg2 to x264). Any idea? This is quite mysterious for me ;) I know, that this is not the issue of HDC itself. I am just asking whether you have already met something like this...

Thanks!

[buzzqw]

crash usually due to memory or overheating

you can check the x264 log file in \job folder
you can "see" if encoding gone wrong and interrupted

I am having an weird issue with HDconvert 3. Very briefly used version 2.5 and that didn't have this problem.

The MKV files created are including subtiles. These subtitles will display on my PC. But not on my PlayonHD. I have tried NMT and Strict options but this didn't help.

I have lots of mkv files that display correctly but all files created with HDConvertToX3 (Beta 3,4 and 6) have this issue.

Perhaps I am placing this in the wrong forum , since the issue is on a mkv player. But i find it strange that as it looks now only comes up with the newest version.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am using version 3 Beta 7 and noticed a problem when trying to recode a DVD. I first use Test Interlace pattern. Then this stops at DG Index . IT shows the following info:

Framerate 29.970030 fps
Videotype Film 99.79 %

Timestamp 0:06:44

Elapsed 0:00:04
Remain 0:01:46

The command prompt shows :

3

DGIndex stays active and using the CPU but dosn't come beyond this point.

[Theopolis]

I noticed with Beta 7 that I need to reopen the ifo file to select the subtitles

So now and then I get to see a list of mutiple subtitles and they are named "Subtitle (dvd)"after re-opening the ifo file the languages are shown.

you can try changing mkvtoolnix folder in \application with an older mkvtoolnix version (4.0.0)
the new beta package include mkvtoolnix 4.2.0

thanks for the tip, overheating seems to my problem
laptop is not the perfect platform for this job :)

if I could, I would have one feature request: on Audio & Subs Selection are radio buttons to select two option:
- embed subtitles
- mux subtitles

would it be possible to add the third option which would only extract subs from source container, but would not neither embed, nor mux them?

thanks

@marklar

If you have a Lenovo/IBM Thinkpad, look for TPFanControl V0.62 by troubadix. This program will run the fans at a faster rate and dissipate heat a lot better than the bios settings. I've used it on several models of the thinkpad with good success. I don't know if there are similar solutions out there for other laptop brands or not.

[gasnyder]

@Buzzqw

Your latest fix for Flebber doesn't seem to be quite correct. I used the updated Beta7 and ran into a problem (2 actually). The batch file shows the problems ( I removed the ChapterExtractor and VSrip lines because they didn't affect the problem).

The batch file is creating the AC3 file with a name of *pid80.ac3 but mkvmerge is being passed *pid2.ac3.

The muxed title is also wrong, it appears to be concatenating the filename "test.mkv" (minus the extension) from the Save File text box and the Muxing title "Test Movie"

The problem is the difference in the audio file... change the pid2.mp4 in the last batch file line to pid80.mp4 (or rename the file in the job folder). Copy/Paste the last line in a command prompt window and you should get your output.

[Theopolis]

I have been trying to get my plononhd to work and noticed the following.

If I use MKV Toolnix :

Version 3.4.0 - Everything works
Version 4.0.0 - Subtitles don't work correctly
Version 4.2.0 - Only Audio

If i remux mwith MMG with customized settings :

Version 4.2.0 Audio Compression None - Only Audio
Version 4.2.0 Subtitles Compression None - Only Audio
Version 4.2.0 Audio / Subtitle Compression None - Only Audio
Version 4.2.0 Video / Audio / Subtitle Compression None - Audio video and subtitle work except chapters.

Apparantly a big flaw in the mkv support in my PlayonHD.
I also placed it on the AD Ryan forum. Hopefully they will fix it.

@flebber @gasnyder

thanks fixed
the problem arise only when no other vobs are found

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta8.exe

about "it appears to be concatenating the filename "test.mkv"
it's wanted!
on dvd input HDC will automatically add the name of previous folder of video_ts to file name
so if your rips are in
d:\toy story1\video_ts\xxxx
HDC will add "toy story1" to muxing title

@Theopolis

use a shorter and simple folder name for your rips

Hi

I am new at this forum, I came up here because I was looking for a program to rip BD's. After some research, I found this program and found it complete to the tasks I wanted.

After following the tutorial for installation of the post in 1861 (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1318934&postcount=1861), I started using the program. Everything went well until near the end of the video processing, the program simply stopped without giving any specific error! Here are some screens of cmd.exe and of the temp folder of the prog.

In the cmd.exe, some text is in Portuguese.
Please, can anyone help me?
I'm running Win7 Home Premium 64-bit.
Thanks in advance!

hi pumabr!

you need installing JAVA

the conversione of subtitle from m2ts is done with dbsup2sub and this application need java runtime installed

from your print screen i see that audio and video encoding goes well

you just need to install java

[pumabr]

Hi

Thanks for your quick response!

I think I have the Java installed (Java-6u18-windows-x64). I'll run again the program, when finished I 'll say the result.
Thanks!

@Buzzqw,

I'm having some issues with the Visual Crop. Mostly it's not HDC's fault as far as I can tell. There is one small thing that doesn't quite seem right though.

Looking at the visualcropgrab.avs file, I see that it opens the first VOB of a movie. It then looks like it picks 10 spots to sample in the video. One small problem is that the number of frames it's picking the range over is for the entire movie, but directshowsource is only providing the first first Vob, so only 1/5th to 1/7th of the total frames are available for most movies. It seems like the selectRangeEvery line should be SelectRangeEvery( (X/10),1) # of X, where X is the number of frames in the first VOB, not the entire movie. I think all this does is cause most of the 10 bmp files to be blank. I don't know how you would get the value of X for this.

My other problem is that the autocrop and visual crop just don't work on some VOBs. I loaded the visualcropgrab.avs file into VirtualDubMod (just the directshowsource line) and listed the file properties. For most movies, I get a reasonable value, but on the failing movies I get a value of 350 - 600 total frames, which is obviously wrong and causes nothing to show up in the visual crop tool. I just installed the latest ffdshow tryout version and it didn't help. I don't know what the problem is. I'm able to do an encode just fine, but I ended up encoding black bars because the Autocrop didn't think there was anything to crop off. I don't know if it's a source issue or a directshow issue (I've tried libavcodec and libmpeg2 and they both give the same results).

Do you have any ideas or thoughts of anything I could try?

Buzzqw I still seem to be having trouble with getting output ran this queue of 4 jobs and got no output.

till next week i will unable to work on hdc
post problems and report

but i will check code later

thanks

@flebber

If you still have your job folders intact, copy the mkvmerge line from each job, change pid2.mp4 to pid80.mp4 and run that line in a dos prompt window, you should get your output file without wasting all that encoding time.

@Buzzqw

The latest beta fixed the PID issue for me, but I'm using .ac3, not .mp4.

[ajamils]

Tried converting another video and even though this time I got an output file, it neither had any audio nor any subs. Source file had FLAC audio (I used Copy Audio option HDC) and VOB subs.

[dulsin]

I have been using HDCONVERT for a couple months and feel pretty comfortable with it. One thing i have not been able to get to work is subtitles.

Each time I try to encode a MKV with subtitles embeded or hard coded the program ends after working a few hours with no error code.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice now but no luck. How can I find what is missing?

How come every file I encode I have to rebuild the index? I am encoding with SAP compatiblity. Is this why?

[Marshy]

I have just started using HDC as I am having trouble with Automen which cannot for me encode decrypted DVD's to avi using Mencoder. HDC is a nice tool with great potential.

Minor Problem: using best encoder during analysis always results for me in XP getting NTSC results when all my sources are PAL. Using the Force FFMEG as decoder option gets more correct results eg PAL, but the movie AR comes out to 2.56 when it should be 2.35 so the cropping seems to put out different figures each time for same source even if you try it again when it should be cropping to 2.35 AR. I had to manually change aspect to 2.35 and crop manually using another auto tool figures.

There are some minor GUI cosmetic spelling bugs.

In the "Runtime" box below analyse it should say "length" instead of "lenght"

Using "Analyse File" it should say "Assume same "properties" as "previous" file."

In advanced options, utilities, bitrate calculator it should say "length" as above.

Also after selecting the longest pgc of a DVD film via Video_TS, the HDC program I find only does eg 45 mins of encoding or 1st? of vts files rather than all of them which comprise the entire film. Log attached next post.

:thanks:

[Cyberpro60]

I have used MeGui successfully for some time but recently experienced major problems with progressively out of sync audio. On recommendation I tried encoding using HDConvertToX but with mixed results. Whilst I was able to successfully produce an MP4 video on my first attempt I noted the following problems:

1. Visual Crop

I was unable to get this feature working at all. When I clicked on the Visual Crop button all the appropriate windows opened but no video displayed just an amorphous grey panel. Using the selection slider I could occasionally get part of the video image .... either in the left hand or right hand pane but rarely in both.

2. Preview

I found that Preview worked only erratically. I occasionally see a full screen video image but mostly not. The original video source does open and play properly using Media Player Classic however and it also loads and plays properly in MeGui. [I haven't tried playing the .avs file though so perhaps the .avs structure is causing the problem]

3. Frame rate on final video output

When I try to play the final .MP4 output file I observe that it plays ok but that motion stutters quite a lot. I think this is, most likely, due to the fact that the framerate has been set at 50fps rather than Pal standard 25fps! [see code below]. I have no idea why the command options are specifying 50fps as there appears to be no option to specify a framerate. Why is fps being set to 50 and how do I change this?

I would appreciate any help or advice on resolving these problems.

@flebber

try with the new beta

@ajamils

fixed in beta package

@dulsin
mkv with subs are supported in new beta

@Marshy

forcing ffmpegsource HDC is unable to join vobs!
you must use best decoder

about you "faulty" framerate detection
are you sure you haven't any framerate filters in ffdshow decoder ?

if no.. post a fragment of vob ... hdc rarely fails analysis ;)

@Cyberpro60

visual crop and preview use the same approach, HDC use directshow decoder for showing the file
if you have problem on framerate and playback , that mean you don't have a working (well) decoder

i suggest to reinstall haali and ffdshow

@ALL

here the new full package

After the fail I went and deleted the job folders that HDC creates and re ran with generate encode. It fails it seems to pull the previous file in sort of. I found this in the job folder.

Done.


Then loaded a new file changed a few settings and generate encode. encode failed. It tried to pull the wrong AVS script.x264 [error]: could not open input file `C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\job1\hdconverttox_title00 (1)-001.avs'

[buzzqw]

@flebber

flv files aren't officially supported. for these kind of file HDC will suggest to use directshow decoder
while i see eac3to use in your report

and.. i don't fully understood your second problem
post the "hdconverttox_title00 (1)-001.avs"

EDIT: just for fun.. try this build (don't know if will work well..) http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta-flebber.exe
it will try to mux the flv first with mkvmerge, then with ffmpeg

BHH

[flebber]

Buzzqw Sorry it is confusing I should have bee clearer. Its not flv support giving an error.

The second encode tries to reference the first file.

The input to the second encode
Input File: c:\rip\source\trivium - slave_new_world_hd.flv ( C:\Rip\Source\Trivium - Slave_New_World_HD.flv )


but from the job folder
eac3to v3.22
command line: "C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\applications\eac3to\eac3to.exe" "c:\rip\source\customize\the shield_s2_d1\video_ts\title00 (1)-001.mkv" 1:"C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\job1\hdconverttox.m2v"


So then I deleted the job folder picked a new file I wanted something short so it was a different flv file. But for some reason it still tried to reference my first input.
x264 [error]: could not open input file `C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\job1\hdconverttox_title00 (1)-001.avs'

[buzzqw]

... .... unable to replicate :(

so you open a file and then add to queue
open another file, then add to queue

then ?

please post the full make report/queue thanks !

BHH

[flebber]

I didn't actually queue a job. I loaded mkv file pressed generate encode, encode was successful, so I loaded a new file the flv and selected encode and that was the error.

All very random. Probably just me unless someone else can repeat it

[buzzqw]

ok, now i understood!

going to test

thanks

[ShadowVlican]

i use HDConvertToX to convert MKV formats into AVI/MP4 for devices that don't support soft subs. i like how HDConvertToX lets me encode the soft subs into hard subs. however, HDConvertToX doesn't work with [Frostii]_K-On!!_-_19_[3E3073DC].mkv

it doesn't detect any audio or subtitles.. and also doesn't detect the video codec:

Input File: e:\[[anime\[Frostii]_K-On!!_-_19_[3E3073DC].mkv

you should well know the rules of this forum

I recently converted 3 movies using beta9 with mkvtoolnix 3.40 (for compatibility with playonhd). I noticed that the conversion embedded the subtitles.
"Embed in video stream" was not selected.

Thanks for your help.

[jackkoho]

is there any program that can insert chapters every x minutes besides hdc?

[jackkoho]

i mean once the file is already encoded.... I have encoded my whole library with hdc but just now discovered this option. I want to go back and insert chapters in all my movies. Any program that can do that?

[flebber]

If you create a chapter file with a program like chpaterextractor you could use mkvmerge to put the chapters and the file together.

[buzzqw]

@Theopolis

you should see in queue the "--compression 0:none" is already used. No need to use mkvtoolnix 3.4

and .. from your queue i can only see that subs ARE MUXED not burned in...

i can suggest to remux with mkvtoolnix 4.2.0 (with compression none selected) and check if Haali splitter allow you to select the subs
-- and btw.. next time post the make report :) (i need the avs script too!)

@ALL
any more test with beta9 ?

I know you haven't got the latest version stable yet, but I wondered whether you will support DgindexNV? If you do and I missed it anything specific I need to do?

dgindexNV is already supported

Hi Buzzqw I am having an issue with preview in Beta9 with multi episode dvd. In the make report below you will see in the queue I have a job queued for pgc1. I then load pgc2 which is the current job, however when I select preview I get a video preview for pgc1.

This is sort of similar to the issue I reported previously where my second encode failed as it referenced the first. Here is the make report.

@Buzzqw

Beta 9 is working as well as Beta 7 and 8 for me. The only issue I see now is with the auto crop and visual crop. I reported these back in post #3422, but that was right before you were out for a week so it could have easily been overlooked.

I found another movie that the auto crop failed on and visual crop didn't result in any viewable frames. Again, these problems might be due to the source and not HDC.

The only problem I see with HDC is that the visualcrop avs file is asking to look at X frames out of the entire movie even though only the first VOB is being sourced when selecting a video_ts file.

[buzzqw]

@flebber

this is how HDC works with ifo

when you work with multiple episodes (one vts with more then one pgc) the initial input is always the same IFO, BUT checking "multiple episodes dvd" HDC know that must extract the selected pgc (with vstrip) from vobs and create a new "fresh" big vob with your selected episode.

HDC know that if you select the fist pcg of vts it will not trigger the extraction of pgc from vobs
HDC know that if you select NOT the first pgc and you don't check "multiple episodes dvd" it will trigger vstrip extraction, regardless of your choice

in your situation you have select "multiple episodes dvd" so hdc trigger extraction of selected pgc from vobs, regardless of first pcg selected

"C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\applications\Vstrip.exe" @"C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\Work\job1\list.ini" -i"C:\Rip\Source\LanoAndWoodleyDisc2\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO" -o"C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\Work\job1\VTS_01_1.VOB" -p0
after this extraction the input file is "C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\Work\job1\VTS_01_1.VOB"

the change of input (from C:\Rip\Source\LanoAndWoodleyDisc2\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO to C:\Rip\HDC\Beta\Work\job1\VTS_01_1.VOB) is done only after you start the encoding or add it to queue

then you select the second input file
if input is a ifo (as above BUT with a different pgc, example the second episodes), the preview isn't "aware" that second episodes is deeper is vob.. and the preview will simple launch the play of first vob, and the first vob will surely has the first episode!

even more: you select the second episodes, add it to queue... the hit preview
now hdc goes to panic: the input file is no more the ifo selected but the vob extracted by vsrip , BUT this vob isn't existing!

anyway.. till you add to queue the episodes.. you should not got problem

hope to be understood :)

@gasnyder

please try this visualcrop, it's somewhat empiric.. but can work http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDC_visualcrop.exe

Hi.

I had problems doing the "Analyze file" in Windows 7. I got errors like:
-> DirectShowSource: RenderFile, the filter graph manager won't talk to me
-> The source filter for this file could not be loaded

After installing and re-installing everything a bunch of times I read tge "BD_Rebuilder" note... thank god for that since it did the trick for me.

Conclusion: if you have problems when doing the "Analyze file" in Windows 7 don't underestimate the "BD_Rebuilder" note.

:)

[7ekno]

V3 is coming along nicely ;)

Is there any plans for dealing with forced subtitles only? (or does it exist and I have missed an option somewhere?)

7ek

[FirstBorg]

Hi buzzqw,

is it possible to load an external queue?
I ask because I want to encode an entire series... and for every season, you would do the same thing 24 times, just with a different starting folder. So it would be very easy to write a script which writes a queue that you can just load and then start encoding.

Is that possible with HDC?
thx.

[gasnyder]

@7ekno

One user posted some info on how to deal with forced subtitles. It's probably 10-20 pages back now. You should be able to search for it.

[ziemlichdunkel]

V3 is coming along nicely ;)
7ek

Not really, I just went back to v.2.5 when I realized that V3 beta 11 doesn't see subtitles anymore when using a mkv with vc1 and dts as input, it just shows none in the gui, but lists them during analyze in the cmd promt.

Also it didn't find any audio for this kind of file, (also just in the gui)

So there must have been broken something since one of the last releases...

Maybe someone else can verify that, during the absence of buzzq?

[ravid394]

For the most part I am really liking V3 as well . The only thing I have noticed is that the audio file that gets generated vs what tries to get muxed is often different. It generated a file ending in 80.ac3 and tries to mux 2.ac3. Mostly when there are multiple episodes from one disk.

Overall though not a big deal, I just manually edit it before I run it.

Keep up the good work.

[lanceuppercut]

tried this for the first time last night and the program itself seems really slick and easy to understand, at least i thought it was.

i have a dvd which is widescreen which i wanted to convert to x264/mkv, the output ended up being squished into a 4:3 sized area, what (probably obvious) thing am i doing wrong?

thanks!

[Furiousflea]

Tried old 2.5xxxx version on OP. Doesn't work at AVI-Mux GUI stage, something about "file already being open". Tried latest beta11 and it works fine in single job files.

Doesn't work if I select more than one file at the source selection as it should though. Comes out with a similar error to the above and AVI-Mux GUI then closes.

I'm on windows 7 x74 and have done all the nessacary bits to make it work as per OP.

[gasnyder]

@ravid394

Are you running the latest (Beta 11)? Buzzqw fixed the 80.ac3 issue for some combination of input files and output files for me a few beta releases back. If you are still seeing this in Beta 11, you should post the details so that it can be fixed.

@lanceuppercut

What did you select in the crop and resize window? This is probably where things are going wrong. Also, what are you playing the mkv file back with? I'll give you the settings I end up using for a typical widescreen movie encode.

For an NTSC movie, the DVD video is 720x480. Most movies today are anamorphic which means that the horizontal pixels are stretched so that 853x480 pixels are displayed. For a 16:9 movie (853/480 ~= 16/9) there is actual content in the entire 853x480 frame. But a lot of movies are wider than 16:9 and black bars remain when viewed on a widescreen TV. This means that some of the 480 aren't used. When you analyze the file in HDC it will normally autocrop any portion that is essentially black bars. It rounds things up so that the amount cut off the top and bottom add up to a multiple of 16. A majority of movies (2.35:1 aspect ratio) will end up with a crop of 112 or 128 pixels total off the top and bottom. This would leave an output frame size of 853x368 or 853x352. For an example assume the 853x352 case. In HDC, the crop panel would have left and right crop of 0 (sometimes there are a few pixels that can be chopped off the sides) and top and bottom crop of 64 each (or some combo that adds up to 128). Now you'd think the Manual WidthxHeight would be 720x352, since you are chopping 0 off the sides and 128 off the top. But HDC has calculated 720x304 as the WidthxHeight. That's where things can get confusing. If you don't select Anamorphic Shape on that tab, you'll get a non-anamorphic encode. The video will display at 720 wide, and not 853. To keep the correct aspect ratio, the vertical resolution has to drop down to 304. Now, you are encoding 352 pixels into 304 and losing some quality. If you select anamorphic, you'll see the WidthxHeight change to 720x352. The encode will include a flag in the mkv that tells the video player to display the file anamorphically.

If your video player doesn't understand that flag, the video will appear squashed and will be displayed at 720x352 instead of 853x352. And if you change the WidthxHeight setting, you could end up with squashed or stretched video.

The best thing to do would be to setup the encode the way you did before. Then click the make report button on HDC and post the file that it generates. They we can see if something doesn't look right.

Another thing to check. Hit the preview button in the cropping box. Does the preview look correct? Does it match the shape of the output you got? If it doesn't match, it could be that your video player isn't playing the file correctly.

[7ekno]

Beta11 broke BluRay encoding for me, I now get the "Failed to connect to Avisynth" error (but BluRip and StaxRip both have no problem!) ...

i selected "no resize and crop" as i thought that was the thing to do as i didnt want it resized or cropped. i am playing it with MPC-HC, i had saved the config settings so here is the report file as requested:

I don't have any experience with PAL videos really. But what I think is happening is that you are making it out of shape by setting no crop and no resize. To fix your problem, you should either set your crop values to 0,0,0,0 and let the Height adjust to the needed value, or set your crop to 0,0,0,0 and select anamorphic recording. The width and height should remain the same when you do that. I recommend doing the second method, but you can do the first if you want to save a few bytes. I believe the video you have now is just fine, the problem is that it doesn't have the proper aspect ratio signal in the file to make your video player display it correctly. I think for MKV's the parameter is SAR (signal or signaled aspect ratio). From your log file, sar is 1:1 for the encode. It should be something like 853:720 (32:27 works well too). Try this and see if it helps. Go into the HDC applications\mkvtoolnix directory and startup mmg.exe (this might take 20-30 seconds before the gui finally shows up). Click add on the upper right side. Choose your .mkv file. Then select the video stream from the list in the box below that. Go to the format specific options. The Display width/Height is probably 720x576. Change this to 853x576 and then hit the start muxing button at the bottom. You should have a new mkv in a minute or two. Looking at some PAL info, it looks like PAL anamorphic might really be 1024x576, so you can also try one at 1024x576. Hopefully one of those two will look right.

Please post your results, I might learn a thing or two from your experiment. And if there are any PAL video experts out there, please correct any errors I've made above. Thanks.

if i set all 4 crops to "0" and tick the anamphoric shape, the AR error box displays "42.2240" --is that a problem?

the manually set w x h displays 720 x 675
and the mod block w x h = 4 x 16

[flebber]

if i set all 4 crops to "0" and tick the anamphoric shape, the AR error box displays "42.2240" --is that a problem?

the manually set w x h displays 720 x 675
and the mod block w x h = 4 x 16

use mod 16 x 16, don't set anamorphic shaping. Your input was 720 x 576 so 720 x 675 will look terrible.

If you can't preview the avs script in HDC can you view it in Virtualdub?

I think it will be an avisynth problem, what exact version of avisyth do you have. Create an AVS script with only the word version() in it and play it to find out exact version if unknown.

[Sharc]

if i set all 4 crops to "0" and tick the anamphoric shape, the AR error box displays "42.2240" --is that a problem?

No, it's not a problem because you are encoding an anamorphic source into an anamorphic target.
For a straight DVD backup:
In HDC select 'No resize & crop' and select 'anamorphic shape'.

[gasnyder]

Maybe 720x675 was a typo for 720x576... I don't know why HDC would make the height bigger than the source otherwise. Doing what Sharc suggested will work too. I looks like it's the same as setting crop to 0,0,0,0 and clicking anamorphic. If you ever need to trim off some black bars on the video you'll have to set your top and bottom crop and then click anamorphic. But make sure the height is a mod of 16 like Flebber said. And as Sharc said, the AR error box can be ignored when doing anamorphic. I don't know if Buzzqw can fix the calculation when anamorphic is selected or not. Or maybe have a separate anamorphic AR error box if anamorphic is enabled.

[lanceuppercut]

@flebber: if i dont select anamoprhic shape and set the mod to 16x16, the resolution goes down to 720x400, if i tick it, it goes back to 720x576..

@sharc: i had no resize + crop ticked but not anamorphic shape, might give that a go and i cant see the difference between setting the crop to 0 and selecting not to do any..

@gasnyder: haha sorry yes that was a typo, it was 720x576 not 720x675!

i did a test, with setting the crop manually to 0, it came out widescreen so much better on that front, still black bars on my tv but better than being squished into a 4:3 box.

however, one issue i seem to have, is the mkv output seems to be noticeably darker for some reason (compared to the original source)?

[gasnyder]

however, one issue i seem to have, is the mkv output seems to be noticeably darker for some reason (compared to the original source)?

The only thing that might be changing colors is ColorMatrix. Try a test encode with ColorMatrix unchecked to see if that is causing the darker output.

[lanceuppercut]

yes colour matrix was ticked, i will give it a shot with it unticked and report back.

also another trivial thing, i cant seem to queue stuff up properly. if i queue 2 jobs, when i check the output folder when i get home, its just blank..

Wanted to ask if anyone has had any problem converting MKV to WMV using Beta 11? It seems that DirectShowSource is being sent the filename "hdencodertox-pid2.A_AC3" which was never generated. What was generated was only hdencodertox-pid2.AC3. Anyone know what reason there might be behind this?

Thanks.

Not really, I just went back to v.2.5 when I realized that V3 beta 11 doesn't see subtitles anymore when using a mkv with vc1 and dts as input, it just shows none in the gui, but lists them during analyze in the cmd promt.

Also it didn't find any audio for this kind of file, (also just in the gui)

need a sample, thanks!

For the most part I am really liking V3 as well . The only thing I have noticed is that the audio file that gets generated vs what tries to get muxed is often different. It generated a file ending in 80.ac3 and tries to mux 2.ac3. Mostly when there are multiple episodes from one disk.

Overall though not a big deal, I just manually edit it before I run it.

Keep up the good work.
be sure to try with beta11 package and updated beta12 exe (see below)

Beta11 broke BluRay encoding for me, I now get the "Failed to connect to Avisynth" error (but BluRip and StaxRip both have no problem!) ...

seems an error of decoding.. please check the first post of thread for suggestion..

Not there and I've un/re-installed again - interesting. Also the beta, when run on a transport stream file it's looking for applications\x264\264.exe which is actually JUST under applications.

I'm thinking this is totally screwed up.

1) use a simpler script (no filters)
2) try disabling wave

add a SetMemoryMax(512) to top of script, just above "DirectShowSource(..."

please update the beta11 package with this exe

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta12.exe

BHH

Thanks...worked perfectly!

[buzzqw]

thanks for reporting :)

BHH

[Frozen-Figo]

Thanks I'll try

[Sharc]

@buzzqw
Beta13.
The personalized .ini files should store the selected Resizing method.
Now it always reverts to 'Based on Speed/Quality'.

[buzzqw]

i'll check monday

BHH

Buzz

Could you make it possible to do a simple check when you add a job to the queue: if job1(the folder) already exists go immediately to job 2

i need to mux myself, hdc cant do it so would be easier if each job has a new folder. every time i start hdc it put the stuff in job 1 instead of creating a new folder.

its not so good explained by me but i hope you know what i mean?

[buzzqw]

@Sharc

done

@verbatim2

i understood, but isn't easier to move the job1 to another folder

[OLP]

i just did some converting with the "old" 2.5.xxx version (still working fine) and stumble over your new 3.xxbeta13 and start testing :).

after analyze a mkv with 2 DTS audio and 1 sub-track, there is no audio and no sub in the audio&sub-window

the same mkv is analyzed correctly with the 2.5.xx version

known problem??

[gasnyder]

@OLP

Did you install the full Beta11 package and run the Beta 13 from that directory? There are some directory changes I believe that could cause problems.

Here's the link to Beta 11... http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta11.rar

@ buzzqw


i did some more testing after reading the last 10 pages of this thread....

seems that for me analyzing any of my *.mkv has no result in the audio&subs tab
but the eac3toinfo.log in the analysis-folder is showing that there is audio and sub.

with the last 2.5.xx all is working fine! :confused:

maybe its again a problem of localized versions like in our former discussed problem (see around post #3245, page 163)

any ideas?

sorry pal but i have no problem

mkvinfo is analyzing file correctly

i have re updated beta 13 http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta13.exe

but i haven't changed it... :confused:

BHH

[OLP]

great! :mad:

seems again a problem with mkvtoolnix.


i deleted the mkvtoolnix-folder from your app-folder and the result is the same...
is there a way to check if HDC is searching/finding and using mkvinfo in the right path?

[OLP]

GOTCHA!


i got it, but dont ask me why the following changes did it.....


i moved the mkvtoolnixfolder from app-folder to another location on my HDD.

then i make a new mkvtoolnix-folder in the app-folder and copy mkvinfo.exe and mkvextract.exe to this folder and did a test.
Got an errormessage that mkvinfo cannot be started cause missing *.dll
this was a good result. now i know that hdc try to start mkvinfo.

step by step i copyed the missing dlls and the data-folder.
I got it to work after i copyed 8 from 9 dlls.
the only dll i didnt copy was the "wxmsw28u_html_gcc_custom.dll".

i also didnt copy the doc, examples and locale folders.

now it worked...... :eek:

[OLP]

now the mkvtoolnix folder looks like this:

http://www.mediafire.com/i/?yvjgusfzbxrbnif

[buzzqw]

HDC launch mkvinfo from \application\mkvtoolnix

i suppose you have wrong path (for mkvtoolnix) in your registry.. and so the mkvinfo isn't finding needed dll

and.. wxmsw28u_html_gcc_custom.dll is already in my mkvtoolnix foder...

i could force to add as system path the mkvtoolnix on hdc folder...
but i can suggest a clean deinstall of mkvtoolnix, cccleaner, then a full reinstall of mkvtoolnix installer

BHH

[OLP]

i havent mkvtoolnix installed on my system.

that causes problems that i described in the May-Problem.

i am using the non-installer-version if i need it

i think the problem is the localisation of mkvtoolnix together with that fu*** dll that i didnt copy


no clue :)

[buzzqw]

glad you resolved

and report back if HDC is working well :)

BHH

[OLP]

seems to working now as described above

maybe you should only use this needed files (screenshot above) with your full package to eleminate this localiziation-probs

but anyway...strange

[buzzqw]

i use the standard (english) mkvtoolnix package
i will wait for your image approval

(if i am being a Mod...)

BHH

[OLP]

take this :)

http://www.mediafire.com/i/?yvjgusfzbxrbnif

[Sharc]

Still no luck here. The audio and sub tracks do not appear in the Audio and Subs selection tab.
Here the eac3toinfo.log which confirms that the streams exist:

3: Subtitle (VobSub), German
4: Subtitle (VobSub), German
Bitstream parsing for tracks 3 and 4 failed. <WARNING>
Demuxing these tracks may still produce correct results - or not. <WARNING>

Added:
Ooops! It works when I remove the 'locale' folder :devil:

[OLP]

as i said...the fu***ing localization from mkvtoolnix is the problem. :devil:

so pls, buzzqw delete the not needed files and folders from your fullpackage so that it works for all without such riddles :)

[Sharc]

Hmmm, still a minor problem here:
The vobsubs are extracted as .sub and .idx but not converted into .sup (for m2ts container), and the .meta does not include the muxing of the subtitles. I have to do this manually.

[buzzqw]

@Sharc

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-beta14.exe

ok, thanks

i will publish an RC build and put on front page
if no bugs comes for a week i will close the rc status and put the HDC 3.0

BHH

[SeeMoreDigital]

Wow... we're up-to version 3

Great work mate :)

[buzzqw]

yea :) thanks SMD!

the leap is due to a total different procedure for audio and subs extraction
now it use mkvextract no more eac3to

more to come for audio handling.. i am thinking about leaving only one 2 options, directshow decoding and eac3to decoding

hdc is now "near" stable.. maybe i will take another route

BHH

HI Buzzqw

I have been throwing files at your RC1 release and it all seems to be solid I cannot get any errors. Its detecting and muxing all audio chapters and subs correctly.

I use MakeMkv lately to rip my DVD's and RC1 is solid on mkv input as far as my testing goes. :)

[ravid394]

I am getting some strange behavior from subtitles. I queue it all up, and then run through it. When it goes to mux it all together tells me that the subtilte file (idx maybe ) is not there, so I edit my queue to remove all lines except the java line for subs and the mux line. Run that, and it creates the idx file and then muxes it properly. So it is not that I edit any of the commands I simply re-run them and it works. What would you need me to post to show you what is going on? Seams like a very inconsistent error. Right, I am running the RC1

[Marshy]

We should thank Buzzqw for his hard work, but remember release candidate means exactly that. There are still some bugs e.g PAL DVD when analysed still sometimes gets read as NTSC rate and cropping can be problematic as can subtitles, but program is getting more stable each day and development is done freely. So we must be grateful as well guys!

Such a pity your very much lamented, magnificent and stable program AutoMKV could not have been developed like this HDConvert one. A testament to your hard work sir!

Nota Bene. Will your great sister progam Automen go to release candidate like this one as it is super for encoding(Xvid quality using Denoise filter gives excellent quality) but has some trouble encoding DVD using avi in XP still, especially with Mencoder option? Earlier builds seemed far more stable and never had this problem. Thanks

[stw500]

I am trying to convert a bluray to xvid oder divx. But the avi mux is always producing an error, not working anymore, has to be closed. I am using Win7 x64 and tried all the solutions in the Win7-Avimux-Thread. Dont know what to try next.

Marshy I have had the same problems. The problem could be Mencoder build(s) or how GUI engages with programs via commands? That said other options e.g Handbrake can freeze too during encoding. Automen might not work correctly in some builds of XP etc.

The Forum for Automen is not very active as most users are here? so cannot pass on other users' comments regarding this bug. I personally feel for what it does(simplistically Automen is a much better program than HDConvertX and deserves much wider usage to get the bugs eradicated.:)

[eduguerra]

HI buzzqw, I use HDC 2.5 first and 3 now, and I can't decode audio and subtitles from m2ts files. I installed the software following your instuctions, and the rickatnight11 ones at last.
I use win 7 64bits and the report is the next. Thanks.

Hi, buzz!

I'm using HDC 3.0 RC1, for DVD backup testing and i would ask you if is it possible to add under Hardware Compatibiliy (or where you think is better), some restriction for DXVA compatibility on both SD and HD material. I ask this because if you try to decode a SD file encoded with h264 that doesn't follow properly the limitation for DXVA, it will be displayed with a lot of artifacts; instead, if you open it without DXVA acceleration the video is perfect :(

On MEGUI Custom x264 profiles (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=139765) thread, there are some exaples of DXVA compliant profiles for x264.

Thank you and keep up the good work!

That's what the "Network Media Tank Compatibility" check box does for h264 encodes. The "Strict" check box limits B-frames further for compatibility with some more picky SAP chip sets. I use it for my encodes (not the Strict setting, just regular NMT checkbox only), and Media Player Classic plays the files with DXVA acceleration.

Hello Buzz,

I noticed that disable header removal doesn't fix a subtitle issue with my media player.
The mkvmerge part of the .bat which is created is as follows :

"C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\applications\MKVtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "E:\Chandni_noFilter.MKV" --default-duration 0:29.970fps --compression 0:none "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\hdconverttox_vts_05_1.h264" --compression 0:none --language -1:hin "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\hdencodertox-pid3.mp4" --default-track -1:no "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\hdc_subs.idx" --chapters "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\chapters.txt"

When I change it to the following I have no more problems :

"C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\applications\MKVtoolnix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "E:\Chandni_noFilter.MKV" --default-duration 0:29.970fps --compression 0:none "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\hdconverttox_vts_05_1.h264" --compression 0:none --language -1:hin "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\hdencodertox-pid3.mp4" --default-track -1:no --compression 0:none "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\hdc_subs.idx" --chapters "C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX 3 RC1_AMI\job8\chapters.txt"

I added an extra --compression 0:none

PS: When analysing file, there is a typo "previus" in stead of " previous"

[Theopolis]

Hi Buzz,

When I load an .ifo file It gets automatically analysed. It detect all available audio and subtitle stream. When I reanalyse the file it still detects the audio tracks but not the subtitle tracks.

I tried this on several DVD sources and allways get the same behaviour

Kind Regards.

[TraumaDoc]

Using the new version 3 RC

I like it and don't like it

Tried to convert a bluray from japan - a single stream file video image

Outputted to xvid in avi

Wanted 8 GB output file - and used the extra options for it to split the output file into 1.8 GB sized pieces

Instead, it created a single and quite horrible quality 769 MB file named as for example "video(1).avi" but never created any other parts

I'm confused

Also - I opened another bluray (50 I think) and converted it with horrible video-audio sync issue .... I checked again and the source video was being listed in HDConvetToX as something 333333333.33 frames/sec ........ a massive number

Ideas with this limited info?

@ravid394

any problem with ram ?

@Marshy @azmoth

it's a busy time. i have spent some free time on automen too.. i'll try to publish a new build

@eduguerra
don't use special characters like "ñ"
can cause some problem with avisynth and dos path

@Sharc
try this (and report back , since i haven't a such file)
http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-rc2.exe

@Theopolis
the subs were always compressed, even before 4.2.0
afaik mkvmerge has always compressed subs

about dvd subs: sorry pal i unable to replicate

@TraumaDoc
post the make report
xvidenc_raw handle bitrate over 10000kbp/s as 10000bp/s (not kilo..)
just use 9999 as manual bitrate or change codec

about sincro: i am unable to debug it, just make sure you have all corrected and updated decoder installed

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX-rc2.exe[/url]

Sorry, subtitles are still missing in the meta with -rc2.

Secondly, audio is getting suddenly out of sync from about the second half of the movie onwards (by a fix delay of about 0.5 seconds). Is all this happening because you changed the extraction from eac3to to mkvextract?
With HDC v2.5 everything is fine: Subtitles recognized and audio is in perfect sync.

Thanks Buzzqw. By the way saw this reported and I checked it. I can confirm bug is there in Automen. Just in case you missed it posted here. Thanks.
Quote Marshy:

There is a bug reversion using encode xvid with avi. If you move it to "slower" setting and save settings, close program and then reopen the setting is always showing "balanced" instead of slower.

[verbatim2]

Buzz

Could you make it possible to do a simple check when you add a job to the queue: if job1(the folder) already exists go immediately to job 2

i need to mux myself, hdc cant do it so would be easier if each job has a new folder. every time i start hdc it put the stuff in job 1 instead of creating a new folder.

its not so good explained by me but i hope you know what i mean?

i understood, but isn't easier to move the job1 to another folder

Yeah but since i need to do muxing myself sometimes i forgot to rename job1 or move it...Cant you make an auto rename like a downloadmanager does?

if exist
job1
then rename
job1_1
job1_2
etc
?

i think i am not the only person with this problem and as far i know something from programming i think that are a few extra rules of code.
So if you want to fix it thanks in advance!

[Mrsash]

Great work Buzz. version 3 already

I have a couple of Mpeg videos cleared by Videoredo
The mpegs play fine. The problem is HDC creates files bigger than mpegs in size.

Conversion: Mpeg to x264+aac (crf 20 1 pass). Also HDC says these files does not have audio(Audio tacks none).

I wanted to upload a sample but dont know where. I uploaded it to rapidshare but dont know if I did it right.

Hi, just giving this application a tryout
My PC:
Pc running Q6600 CPU
CUDA capable Graphics card
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
4GB Ram


1st of all it asked me if I wanted to `switch to 64bit` upon start-up of app, now it doesnt do that now,.... abit weird.
Also, I tried just a quick sample conversion, it demuxes then stops. Does NOT encode :(



EDIT: just tried changing from Xvid in .MKV to Xvid in .Avi in settings and it tries open the AVIGUI MUX app. (it asks for `Run as Admin`), i hit ok,.... it then errors sying AVIMUX need to close as "hdencodertox-pid2.aac" is already in use ??

Hi!

Do you have setup according to this post? http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1318934#post1318934

I am using it on my 64-bit windows 7 and it works fine.

errm, I have just tried ACHDCoder (AVCHDCoder works fine but not flexible enough for me :)) and had to clean install that, but i can remove it first just to be thorough.... i`ll do it exactly to this guide.

[DJ-1]

Ok, I removed everything except my Core avc and Divx PRO v6.85,
The guide and codes pack were meant for 32bit install, but works anyways.

Great app, I have a couple questions relating to features,
1: would it be possible to link the Divx/x264 settings in the GUI with the installed Divx package ( if present on machine ) then have access to the full Divx 6.8 encoder options.

2: it would be great if importing from Blue-ray source was possible, inc. Subs and multiple audio tracks. ;)

Great app still.

edit: also not all output formats display the `overall progess`, so ATM i dont have a clue how long til my encode finnishes, LOL.

[buzzqw]

@Sharc

sample and full report

@verbatim2

i'll think about it

@DJ-1
you can access full divx/x264 settings by editing the profile.txt
that's is a great way for personalizing profiles

HDC isn't a ripper application or fully blow extraction program.

and.. not all encoder report the eta...

BHH

[Sharc]

@Sharc

sample and full report


Here a comparison of the reports (HDC v2 versus HDC v3)

HDC v2: works ok

Full Subtitle List-> (*** mean selected)
*** NONE
*** 4: subtitle (pgs), english
*** 5: subtitle (pgs), german
*** 6: subtitle (pgs), german.... etc. ...


HDC v3 producing missing subtitles:

Full Subtitle List-> (*** mean selected)
*** NONE
*** 4: S_HDMV/PGS ENG
*** 6: S_HDMV/PGS DEU
*** 8: S_HDMV/PGS DEU
.... etc. ....

The numbering of the subtitles is different for HDC v3, and they are finally missing in the .meta.

[DJ-1]

@Buzzqw
ok cheers, editing the profile.txt is ok if ppl know what theyre doing but i think an `advanced` tab in the GUI would be a LOT easier, + we wouldnt have to worry about `knowing exacly HOW-TO edit the profile.txt` :)

[flebber]

Buzzqw have you had enough of HDC for the moment? What new challenge you going to look at?

[buzzqw]

@flebber

:rolleyes:

well, i am thinking about starting a new project.

but this one will be focused on multi-platform since i want totally migrate to Linux (i am studying for Linux certification too)

most probably will be based on ffmpeg/mencoder/mplayer/x264
with very little support for avisynth

like an automen/multix264 but "on steroids" :p

i have few free time and most of this is dedicate to my family.

happy encoding!

BHH

[flebber]

Would you use a system like Avidemux to provide filter options and still remain cross platform? Do you like FFMS2 as an option?

[DJ-1]

Ok, starting to get the hang of this app now,... 1 think I have noticed is that when I try and use my other encpoding app, TMPGEnc Express 4 ( because i use the built in ' all-in 1 pass' edit/ convertion ) when I select xvid as output I get general Windows 'access denied errors'.... basic something else has got control of the codec and won't let the other app use it.

I instaled the mega codec pack from this thread, page 94 or 95 and when I un-install that codec pack, and just have plain xvid alone installed TMPGEnc no longer errors, so its clearly something to do with thatched pack.

Is there anything other than a multi codec pack for hdconvertox to work, can I get the codecs individually as this may be a 'cleaner' way of doing so ?


What are all the individual codecs needed here ?
Cheers.

Hi,

Thinking that 1080p has plenty of cropping potential when resizing to 720p, I've thought about not only cropping the black borders off the top and bottom of a 2:35:1 movie, but cropping the sides as well so that the picture fills a 16:9 TV.

My question is - will cropping in this way result in a worse quality encode when resizing to 720p than just cropping the black bars off?

[Adub]

It depends on how you define quality. Having the full picture in the final version may be considered higher quality by some viewers.

The fact is, when you resize at all (up or down) you will be losing quality. The reason for this is that the algorithms used in resize calculations are forced to throw away pixel information when changing sizes.

[iSeries]

Thanks Adub - in this case I'd define quality relative to just cropping off the black bars and resizing to 720p. I tried it last night - for this particular movie to fill a 16:9 TV I needed to crop 142 pixels from the top, 142 from the bottom, 252 from the left and 252 from the right (this gave the smallest A/R error for 1280 x 720). This left 1416 x 796 to resize to 720p. I compared the encode to one I'd made with just the black borders cropped out (all other encoding settings the same) and the full screen version seems 'crunchier' or 'grittier'. Is it my imagination or could it be the result of some kind of magnification effect? I guess cropping to fill the screen I am basically zooming in and any inherent defects in the source or less than optimal encoding settings are going to be more obvious?

[Sharc]

Are you encoding at same file size or at same crf? You can compare the 'quality' on the basis of the same file size only.

Personally I would never crop 2x252 into the active picture and throw so much away. If you want to fill the 16:9 TV screen for viewing you can probably do this using the zoom function of your player or of your TV set.

[iSeries]

Thanks Sharc - I'm comparing at the same CRF. I figured the file size is bound to bigger with the full screen version as it would need a higher bitrate so didn't think comparing the two at the same file size would be valid.

And no, I don't normally crop like this - it's for my daughter to watch in her room. She only has a 26" screen (only lol, when I was her age that would have been like going to the cinema) and she's complaining about the black bars and that its like trying to watch a film through someone's letterbox!

[Sharc]

As you encode at same crf I would assume that the perceptual differences are mainly due to the 'zooming' effect, as you mention. To how much the observed artefacts are prevalent in the source could for example be examined with a reference encode at a 'transparent' crf of say 14.

[wkr]

With the latest version subtitles and audio are not detected (this happens with all samples).

Box 1: Old version v.2.5.649.4295 detects subtitles and audio
Box 2: New version v.3.0.691.4632 does not detect subtitles and audio

Update 22 November 2010
Solution:
"Format C:" & "Fresh install Windows Vista 32Bbit".
Subtitles and audio are detected now with the latest version v.3.0. \o/.

[nx6]

Alright, I've got a problem here. I have what seems to be a complete encoding, but I've realized that the subtitles got botched in ripping or something. They are missing in the final chapter of the movie. I've used VSrip to rerip the subs from the IFO files (and the new .sub file is larger than the one I demuxxed out of my bad movie), but I don't seem to be able to make a new file with them. I try to use MKVMergeGUI to combine the video and audio pieces of my old encoding (because they're fine) with the newly ripped subs (since they are complete) and MKVMerge keeps claiming the input files are unknown types. These are the exact same streams that were demuxxed from the old MKV encoding. All I want to do is swap the bad .sub for my new one and remux. Why can't I do this?

This was a tricky encoding to set up because it was hard letterboxed and needed some filtering and I really don't want to have to reencode all the video and audio again just to get a new MKV with all the subtitles.

[buzzqw]

hi nx6
you must add to mkvmerge (mmg.exe) only the IDX file
not the .sub

BHH

[nx6]

Okay. But what about the vid.h264 and audio.aac? Mmg is not recognizing them.

Edit: Oh! Wait. Now I can just take my OLD encoding and use that as the input for the new muxxing. I just have to uncheck the bad subs and add the .idx like you say to get the good subs, right?

Edit2: Nope, that didn't work. It seems to have come out the same. Hmmm... Guess I'll go to bed now and sleep on it. But leave the computer to try a re-encode.

mmg DOES recognize h264, you must just manually specify the framerate
and aac audio is recognized too!

try using mmg 4.3.0..

@nx6

Or you could just load your original file (i assume video & audio & subs) into makemkv, then make mkv.

HDC will handle file perfectly if you do this.

[psychoxxx]

Thank you buzzqw for HDC. :thanks: I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and also from HDC 2.X to the latest 3.0.691.4632. For some reason, there is no converted file at the end. Any suggestion? What did I do wrong? :confused: Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
Media Player Classic Homecinema 1.4.2499.0 can play K:\HDC\job1\hdconverttox_vts_01_1.avs from the beginning to the end (all 2 hours). It has no audio which I think is normal.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled all required applications: Avisynth_258, ffdshow_rev3611_20101006_clsid, MatroskaSplitter 1.10.262.12, Xvid-1.2.2-07062009 and HDConvertToX_3.0.691.4632
I set ffdshow to use libmpeg2 as decoder for MPEG2 and DVD, and wmv9 as decoder for VC-1.
I selected Haali Media Splitter to Enable AVI support and Enable MPEG-PS support during installation.
I set AVIMux_GUI to run in compatibility mode for WinXP SP2.
Using Win7DSFilterTweaker_3_7, I selected ffdshow. I chose ffdshow (DXVA) when that option is available.
I have also tried to run HDC as an administrator.

"C:\Program Files\HDConvertToX\applications\x264\x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate 2000 --preset medium --ref 4 --subme 9 --direct auto --trellis 0 --me umh --b-adapt 2 --bframes 4 --threads auto --thread-input --sar 1:1 --output "K:\HDC\job1\hdconverttox_vts_01_1.h264" "K:\HDC\job1\hdconverttox_vts_01_1.avs"

your should get some output...

BHH

I get the h.264 and avs but I don't get the mkv file. :confused:
maybe I should try the 2.X version on Windows 7?

[Macgyver]

Been fighting this and can not figure it out:

Upp'ed to Win 7, and installed V3.0.691.4632 (from first post) now then, when using a video file recorded from an Hauppauge HD-PVR that is 1080i and Dolby Digital, I get a great pic but no audio unless I convert to mp3.

I've looked through the thread - (we need to narrow this down into an FAQ maybe, it's so large) and can't find anything.

Help?

If it IS listed, just point me in the right direction.

************** edit ********************

Ok, I WASN'T using V3.x. Now that I am, I'm having problems with Win 7 complaining (they didn't fix that in this release) that xvid-encraw.exe has stopped working.

you must get an error at some time (maybe at chapter extraction ?)

I think the problem is the output file location which is a SATA HDD (drive K) connected to an onboard chip Marvell 61xx raid controller, not the Intel ICH10R chip. My motherboard is Asus P5Q-E (P45 and ICH10R). The converted file can be saved in another drive (drive H, connected to the ICH10R) but not the 2 drives (drives I and K) attached to the Marvell chip. Both drives I and K have over 100GB of free space and all drives are formatted as NTFS. I am not using RAID, just using the 2 extra SATA jacks from the Marvell chip as regular SATA connections. Perhaps it's a hardware driver and Windows 7 (32bit) issue? I am now testing another movie. Thank you so much for your help. :thanks:

HDC v3
Source is .m2ts and target is .m2ts, blu-ray structure.
Ticking 'Insert Chapters evey...' in the Muxing Tab has no effect. The chapters are not inserted in the .meta.

Normally I would not use this because the chapters are extracted from the source .m2ts. However not all streams include a chapter track. In these cases the 'Insert Chapters every...' would be handy. Can it be done?

Yes it is installed. I ended up replacing the file with a different version and - so far - all is well.

Thank you.

***************** EDIT ***********************

Correction: On the second pass it crashes, so that is still problem #2. BUT problem #1, is more interesting problem, if I convert using any video codec but the container is MP4, and use AC3/448/5.1 in the settings, the resultant file has no sound. If I change the container to anything else - the sound returns to the final file.

**** added *****
When I play the ac3 file within the job folder it's fine. Ditto the video.

Did I miss something along the way?

[nx6]

mmg DOES recognize h264, you must just manually specify the framerate
and aac audio is recognized too!

try using mmg 4.3.0..
I did that. I reinstalled mkvtoolnix in case that had something to do with it and it still said that it didn't recognize the filetype of the .h264 file.

Heh, heh. I just now tried it again while I'm typing this and now it's working. Must have been a computer issue that required a restart. :p

@nx6

Or you could just load your original file (i assume video & audio & subs) into makemkv, then make mkv.
That's what I ended up doing. I never could get the subtitles to rip from the last chapter of my DVD for some reason. So I acquired a plain-text subtitle file from a third party and just remuxxed my original file, removing vsrip's subs and adding the text-based ones.

I'm using HDC 3.0 (updated) to do some DVD Backup test. I've tried several DVD from film to animation and i've encountered some problem with interlaced material. I've ripped the movie on my HD from the DVD with DVDfab and analyzed with the internal tool of HDC, here is the response (15% of total movie analyzed):

Spirited Away (Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi):

The final result will be a MKV with Italian and English AC3 audio track and subtitle for both language. For video compression i'm using x264 with CFR 15 setting.

I've tried Interlaced, Interlaced HQ and Yadif Bob but i can't achieve a good result because the final output it's deinterlaced but lacks totally on sharpness (and it's not caused by the compression settings because i'm using a quite high value for CFR). It's like all the edges are all very blurry (maybe later i can post a screenshot).

With progressive material, with the same settings for compression the result is almost identical to the original source with all details preserved.

So the big question is: What is the best way to treat interlaced material (especially Animation and Cartoons)? What filters or chain of filters i should use? Is there a filter that you suggest from HDC?

My first concern is quality so i don't bother for now on computing time or file size (i will find the good balance later ;)).

Thanks for all help!

EDIT: I've read all the suggestions from FPS100 (http://www.100fps.com/) and the best deinterlacer should be Combination of Bob+Weave (=Progressive Scan). Is it possible to achieve on HDC?

[Sharc]

Perfect, thanks!
Another minor issue:
When I remove the tickmark for 'Log x264 encoding' in the 'Resizers & Options' tab, it is not saved when I 'Save Settings' but is always restored when I restart HDC. Is this intentional? Anyway, it's really not critical.

Have you tried specifying top field first? I used to have that issue quite a bit with animated material where I'd be told the source was bottom field first but it was actually top field. You'd use AssumeTFF() to set this.

Edit: as far as filters go, I'd recommend MSharpen (http://neuron2.net/msharpen/msharpen.html), which is already included in HDC's collection. Just watch out when applying it to DVD material that has already had an edge enhancer added for the DVD encoding. You can end up with a picture that isn't much sharper and now has haloing on the oversharpened edges.

@Macgyver

your queue is correct, BUT i GUESS that "~" character isn't compatible with mp4box, and so the mux of audio fails

@DottorLeo
Ciao!

i haven't experience with cg or anime , and btw bob+wave should be pretty similar to yadif bob
you could use the "free avs string" in filters settings to add any command to your avisynth script
what about adding seesaw or lsfmod filters ?
but.. again , i don't deal with anime/cartoon

[nx6]

Hey, Buzz. I've been having this problem for awhile where jobs fail right at the start of the encoding process. I can do analysis fine but when I run the job the audio and subtitle ripping works fine, it's when I get to the part where we begin actual video encoding it fails. It was doing it on the project I recently finished and I seemed to be able to get around the problem by clicking "remove all jobs" in the queue, then adding my new job to the queue with the "add to queue" button, then starting the queue. But this time it didn't work. Here's the log from that job (it was a test run, so I had audio/subs disabled).

There is one thing I can tell you about this issue that should help you figure it out. It only happens when I have a de-interlacer filter specified. If I have it set to "none" jobs run fine every time it seems.

[buzzqw]

you can change the avs script to point to new d2v

this kind of error is usually due to bad streams, even dgindex should report something..

Edit: Okay, I figured out how to get around this. Apparently it has to do with me having no audio or subs set up on this test encoding. I threw out the job folder and started again choosing audio and sub tracks this time. After the job failed to run I tried again with the fixed.avs script, and chose the prior encoded audio and subs, and then chose "assume same properties" so the analyze did not run again, and now the job is doing the video encoding. I think when I canceled out of selecting subs and audio (since I had none) before it started the analysis automatically, so I couldn't skip it to avoid the error above.

No errors, here's the text (can't do anything about the word wrap):

Import results: 1276 samples - Slices: 7 I 400 P 869 B - 1 SEI - 7 IDR
Stream uses B-slice references - max frame delay 2
AC3 import - sample rate 48000 - 5.1 channels
Saving E:\Video Conversion\Sample_cut.mp4: 0.500 secs Interleaving

What's CRAZY is that the video and audio play fine separately, which obviously (to me) means the muxing is the problem. Do you another proggie to mux this to an MP4 that I can try?

Thanks a lot for explanation! So, if i understand right, in "the Princess and The Frog" report the "Source is declared bff by a margin of 1898/6." means Bottom Field First.

Please tell me if i'm right: now i had to add on "Free AVS String" the "AssumeBFF()" string and choose on De-Interlacer Filters "yadif-bob". Correct?

@Buzz

Hey! If my above idea is correct, i don't need other picture sharp enhancer. The problem was i didn't understand what TFF and BFF means. BTW, keep up the good work!

I thought you had the report - FWIW a lot of the ac3 files are playing back about a 1/3 regular speed.

It would be nice if someone else would run a quick conversion with these parameters.

The interlace filters in HDC are listed by situation, not what actual filter is applied. I think there was a list somewhere of which ones use what methods.

You mentioned dealing with interlacing on animated material, so I assumed you were having an issue getting something to encode deinterlaced right (as that's what a spend most of my time dealing with on animated stuff). I'm just saying that if you set up deinterlacing based on what the test tells you and still get combing silliness, it might be because what you actually have is top-field-first material. I have on several occasions had the deinterlace test report incorrect field order or wrong type of deinterlacing needed in animated material because it is older material that has been subjected to multiple frame-rate manipulation changes in mastering for the DVD-release or just because the test is wrong.

AviSynth keeps track of whether a given clip is field-based or frame-based. If the clip is field-based it also keeps track of the parity of each field (that is, whether it's the top or the bottom field of a frame). If the clip is frame-based it keeps track of the dominant field in each frame (that is, which field in the frame comes first when they're separated).

However, this information isn't necessarily correct, because field information usually isn't stored in video files and AviSynth's source filters just normally default to assuming bottom field first...
-- Parity (http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Parity), AVISynth Wiki
I don't think this will be a big issue with a modern animated feature, especially one created in computer modeling, as it would be possible to output directly to the desired output format and skip the "film" step completely if they wished. This can be an issue if you have a feature that has some computer animation and some traditional drawn, as you could end up with a movie that is telecined for most of the feature and then progressive on certain scenes.

If the test is telling you the material is bottom field first, and you intend to deinterlace with it bottom field first, I don't think it's necessary to add AssumeBFF() in your filter chain. Its only needed if you want it to do something contrary to what it thinks is right.

You asked about the best filters to use with animated material so I suggested one I use for sharpening that will make edges crisper and not accentuate noise. There was a denoise filter I used to use called Convolution3D (http://www.hellninjacommando.com/con3d/) that Buzz had as a part of AutoMKV. It had a specific animation tuned mode. It's useful for denoising colored areas, making them compress better so video bandwidth can be used to improve detail rather than recreating flaws in your source material. I don't know why it's not around anymore. I'm sure it's been depreciated for a better filter since it hasn't been updated since 2002 it seems.

If you want to get really crazy about this you should seek the help of someone who does encoding for anime fansubbers, as they have to deal with all sorts of broadcast problems in the raw video captured from Japanese TV. But that would be overkill for working with modern animated material with an optical disc source. Plus, they way they interact with people really makes it apparent you're dealing with someone between the ages of 16 and 22 sometimes.

I think that the AssumeTFF() is in the wrong part of the script. Shouldn't be before Yadif(mode=1,order=-1)? How can i edit the script before the start?

On http://avisynth.org.ru/yadif/yadif.html says that "Field parity of source clip must be properly set (use AssumeTFF, AssumeBFF)."

Thanks

What's going on here? You're keeping the video at it's original resolution yet cropping off the top and bottom? Upscaling might be causing the blurriness.

If the field order was the issue it would be very obvious combing using fast action from the field of the next frame being displayed right before the last field of the proceeding frame. Like this:

Dear bzuzzqw,

here are some bugs I found, and also some wishes for future releases ;-)

Bugreport HDConvertToX
- Description: Opening a DVD the IFO is shown. The PGC selection dialog has several bugs:
Crash: When you neither accept a PGC nor reject the IFO, but close the dialog box using the window's close function in the upper right corner, HDConvertToX is crashing
Functional: Multi-Episode DVDs always offer only largest episode. Checking Multi-Episode option doesn't change anything.
Workaround: Use DVD-Shrink's rebuild funktion to extract single episodes from the DVD. Same issue with multi-angle content.
GUI: It is irritating, that in the IFO dialog the autio and subtitle tracks are arranged the opposite way than in the Audeo/Subtitle tab.

- Description: Aspect Ratio is often miscalculated in the resulting MKV, espescially on letterboxed 16:9 content.
Example: The DVD is 4:3, PAR is 768x720.
Anamorphic shape is allways enabled as I do not want to have any resizing done (qualitity loss), just cropping.
Instead I prefer the original resolution that is then streched in the player according to the PAR.
74 lines are cropped bottom and top, resulting in 720x428 video. The PAR of 768x428 should stretch this video to 768x428, which is propper 16:9.
HDConvertToX is doing all fine except the AR that is applied to the MKVMerge line: It requests wrong 1.33:1 and mkvmerge simply keeps the x-resolution of 720 and stretches the y-resolution to 3/4 of X which is 540.
Fix: Tell MKVMerge to obey the Movie Aspect Ration, not the Display Aspect Ratio!
Workaround: Manually edit the queue.bat and apply the correct AR


- Description: Cropping sometimes fails to autocrop propperly, manual cropping is sometimes showing nothing at all.
Workaround: If i do not get propper crop values, I use Handbrake or Xmedia Recode to find propper cropping values and manually add them to HDConvertToX

- Description: HDConvertToX does not handle non ascii characters in Filenames propperly when generating the bat files. The german umlauts äöü ÄÖÜ and ß are not converted propperly from Windows to DOS charset.
Workaround: I avoid those characters in folder aand filenames, but it should be fixed.

- Description: Audio sometimes isn't in sync at all.
While HDConvertToX usually syncs much more precise than Handbrake (the audio tracks are sometimes 1 or 2 frames behind), on some sources it is out of sync for many seconds! Same source converted using Handbrake does sync.


Feature wish list HDConvertToX
- Allow to change the order of audio and subtitle tracks, or add a feature for a user-defined preferred language that is always tagged to be the standard track.
- Allow individual channel and bitrate settings per audio track or let the user define preferred conversion rules, e.g.
HD-Audo -> 5.1 448kb AC3
5.1 AC3 -> 5.1 448kb AC3
2.0 AC3 -> 2.0 128KB MP3
1.0 AC3 -> 1.0 64KB MP3
When you have a BD with HD audio and additional stereo tracks, it now converts HD-Audio to 5.1 448KB AC3 and the stero track is 2.0 448 KB AC3. It gets even worse when you have mono tracks (e.g. old star trek series)
Workaround: I manually set the bitrate to 192 or 96 in queue.bat when I have stereo or mono sources combined with 5.1 tracks.
However it would be nicer to have an option e.g. keep 5.1 as AC3 tracks and convert stereo and mono to mp3

[CYBERSONIC]

3.0 has a problem with audio and subtitles recognition, as others said.
I have installed 3.0 completely new to a new folder. Analyzed a file, audio tab showsn no audio and no subtitles.
Same movie loaded to my old 2.5 version folder et voila, audio and subtitles recognized (same movie).

[Macgyver]

I know I'm bitching a lot here, but I'm having a hell'ava time getting this to work with Win 7.

Has ANYONE with Win 7 been able to convert a transport stream file into a MP4 with a AC3 (not AAC) audio stream?

AND if so, did you have to set anything up differently?

Also any problems with the ac3 stream itself (after being demuxed) being 2x the length and playback is in ... 'slo mo'?

[Chengbin]

I got a bug report to file.

When you encode audio only (to mp3), HDC does not output to the directory you specified. Rather, it just saves the audio file in its own temp folders. Can you please make HDC output the audio to the directory I specified it should save in? I screwed up a bunch of audio in my encodes, and now I wanna reencode audio only, and mux them later.

Hi Macgyver,

have you tried cleaning the ts file using ProjectX? Demux it into seperate video and audio streams, then mux them into a mkv using mkvmergegui. Does the mkv play fine?
AC3 works generally fine on my Win7 x64, no matter if source is DVD or BD or .ts. But for DVD and .ts souces I usually simply do a Copy Audio into the target container.

[Macgyver]

It's a mp4 problem as I can convert to ANY format with AC3 audio BUT mp4. Xvid/MKV etc with AC3 are fine.

AC3 works generally fine on my Win7 x64, no matter if source is DVD or BD or .ts. But for DVD and .ts sources I usually simply do a Copy Audio into the target container.

As the original audio is 2 channel AC3, even if I use copy audio with an MP4 container I get the same problem, dandy video but no audio. BUT the ac3 demuxed audio file (via HDCTX) plays fine.
Interestingly Handbrake FWIW does fine with that combo and even a Fairuse conversion from an ISO with that combo works well.

I heard rumblings that mp4box has problems with AC3, but then I hear from gents like yourself that state otherwise.

I've been pulling my hair out.

I have the same problem, that converting a DVD with a 16:9 format the end result is a 4:3 format video, and it's completely distorted.

I didn't quite understand how to edit the queue to apply the correct aspect ratio: could you explain that a bit more? I understand it's in the fifth line, where it says "-aspectratio 1:0.00000000" or something like that, but what do I write to keep it 16:9?

[magu_]

Hey

I encountered a problem by using HDconverttoX. The program crashed when I started to load the .IFO file of the movie (I also tried everyone of them) The select PGC screen appeared but was empty... I also waited once for 10 min but it's frozen. I tried it with diffrent DVD rips but none of them worked.

Any Ideas/Solutions?

To rip the DVD I used DVD Decripter & DVD43.
OS: Win 7 - 32Bit
HDConvertToX V.3.0.691.4632 - With steps of the tutorial for Win7 in this forum.

Hi,

I worked with the latest Version 3.0.694.4644

Ive a problem with converting movies (test with dvd structure->vob) to SAP compatible Avi files. After 2-3 minutes of hdconverttox is working the error (se pic at the bottom) apears:


Any ideas whats wrong? Avimux-GUI is set in compatibility mode...

[typhoon_2099]

Hi, I'm having converting a DVD I have ripped to my HDD. When I select video_ts.ifo The PGC length is reported as 1 second long, meaning I can't use the Multi episode DVD check box to convert all the episodes on the DVD unless I add each one manually.

Considering I have quite a few DVDs to do this with, I'd rather find a workaround. Does anyone know a way to get around this problem, such as re-ripping the DVD using different settings (I used SmartRipper to copy the whole DVD)?

EDIT: Didn't realise I could select multiple IFOs when I open the files. This should work.

EDIT2: No you can't, it only reads the first IFO you select. My problem still stands.

@Queelis:

In HDConvertToX on the Main page in Source file info you should see two values that were calculated during analysis: Display AR and Movie AR. Movie AR is what you get after cropping the black borders. Thats what the MKVMerge line should contain. If HDConvertToX does not calculate a propper AR, simply edit the queue manually and apply a proper value 3:4 (TV), 9:16 (Widescreen) or 1:2.35 (Cinemascope)

I already reported this issue in my previous post.

I currently use this workaround:

For DVD: Open DVD-files in DVD-Shrink, go to Re-author, drag episode into new DVD, select no compression, select desired audio and subtitle tracks. Build one DVD per Episode. Destination Hard disk folder, do not burn DVD.

For BluRay I use BD-Info to find what playlist entry is assigned to an episode, then use TS-Muxer to create BluRay folder structure, one per Episode.

For episode DVDs where all episodes are joined in a single VTS and only seperated as chapters, I use Handbrake to convert them, HDConvertToX doesn't work for those.

[typhoon_2099]

Thanks fklein, I'll see what I can get mashed together myself. The DVD has separate IFOs for each episode but the structure is messed up or something.

[towerpc]

New version (3.0.694.4644) don't detect de audio and subtitle tracks.

EDIT: SORRY... New version + MKVToolnix 4.4.0 installed, HDConverttoX don't detect audio and subtitle tracks.
I uninstalled MKVToolnix and all work fine.
Test with MKVToolnix 4.0.0 and the problem with HDConverttoX disapear.

Bye.

Description: Cropping sometimes fails to autocrop properly, manual cropping is sometimes showing nothing at all.
Workaround:If i do not get proper crop values, I use Handbrake or Xmedia Recode to find proper cropping values and manually add them to HDConvertToX.


I think HDC is a very fine piece of sofware and now very stable, but I must agree with above about cropping in terms of it is a valid point to examine further. The top and bottom crop numbers are the complete opposite of Automen, Handbrake analysis e.g top 66, bottom 74 will be so in these 2 applications, but opposite in HDC analysis of top and bottom crop figures and slightly larger eg top 76, bottom 68. Xmedia Recode's tally more less with HDC.

If you decide to reverse them in line with 2 programs mentioned, then the aspect becomes slightly narrower after the final encoding is done to compensate e.g 2.3750 to 2.4.x display A.R will show with original aspect showing a ratio error along with your chosen resolution. Best to leave the original HDC autocrop prior to job encoding, so resizing by chosen filter eg lanczos works it all out, then final job shows no aspect ratio error with your resolution and display A.R.

Maybe this is how HDC decides to work things out and is not a bug at all?

My question is: the line command change to delete job1/temp files in HDC folder is 1 isn't it, if I am not mistaken? Thankyou.

[Sharc]

@buzzqw
Probably a bug:
Source is m2ts, 23.976 fps
Encode target is Xvid in mkv,
- with Change fps to 25 for video
- with Convert Audio to PAL (=speedup)
All works fine, with the exception of the subtitles where speedup is missing (BDSup2Sub can do it, it's just not yet included in the command line of the HDC batch file).

[datauser]

In advanced options most of the filters work fine, but I am having trouble with QMF FluxSmooth.avs. In Xvid 2 pass my encoding always crashes just after the avi-mux operation. Basic filter: SoftSharpen preset film works fine with other QMF.

Hqndn3d_Denoise.avs is very good resultwise are other QMLF filters, so I never use the video denoise filter with strengths "none to severe" as it is basically the same??? so why have two of the same enabled?

With the latest version subtitles and audio are not detected (this happens with all samples).

Box 1: Old version v.2.5.649.4295 detects subtitles and audio
Box 2: New version v.3.0.691.4632 does not detect subtitles and audio


Solution:
"Format C:" & "Fresh install Windows Vista 32bit": Subtitles and audio are detected now with the latest version v.3.0. \o/.

I'v used this on XP 32bit and everything else went fine but x264 crashes when it need memory more than 2Gb.
Now I updated my OS to win7 pro x64 but I can't get HDConvertToX to find FFDShow (x64) :/
I'v tried to install 32bit FFDShow to next of 64bit version, but then x264 crashes on video analyze phase
FFDShow x64 + AVIsynth x64 working well when playing with mplayerc-HC same m2ts test video

I primarily use AutoMen and the forum for that is pretty dead, by looks of it not far from it here. Maybe the developer Buzz is having a well deserved rest, so maybe someone here can answer you instead. I also have Win7 64 bit and am interested to see how you get on with solving this issue. I only use HDC on my XP 32bit system as it runs relatively bug free encoding avi. x264 is trickier!

Dear bzuzzqw,

here are some bugs I found, and also some wishes for future releases ;-)

Bugreport HDConvertToX
- Description: Aspect Ratio is often miscalculated in the resulting MKV, espescially on letterboxed 16:9 content.
Example: The DVD is 4:3, PAR is 768x720.
Anamorphic shape is allways enabled as I do not want to have any resizing done (qualitity loss), just cropping.
Instead I prefer the original resolution that is then streched in the player according to the PAR.
74 lines are cropped bottom and top, resulting in 720x428 video. The PAR of 768x428 should stretch this video to 768x428, which is propper 16:9.
HDConvertToX is doing all fine except the AR that is applied to the MKVMerge line: It requests wrong 1.33:1 and mkvmerge simply keeps the x-resolution of 720 and stretches the y-resolution to 3/4 of X which is 540.
Fix: Tell MKVMerge to obey the Movie Aspect Ration, not the Display Aspect Ratio!
Workaround: Manually edit the queue.bat and apply the correct AR


I think there is an easy solution to this:
Simply delete the '--aspect-ratio -1:xxx' in the command line for MKVmerge. MKVmerge will then by default calculate the display aspect ratio from the stream header and PAR which is calculated by HDC, taking any cropping and resizing into account.

Did you remove the old work folder from previous version before re-doing. If you updated HDC but used batch file from previous version same error will occur. You need to ensure the file is re analysed.

Hi,

I had a problem with HDConvert the other day. My output file pixelated for a second in the beginning and then the movie went out of sync. I wasn't aware of the option to post a report before I sent said file to the Recycle Bin.

Anyway, I wanted to see if uninstalling the various required software and starting over from scratch will help me overcome this problem. Also, when I did install the software, I didn't see any options for allowing Haali Media Splitter to handle Mpeg/PS files nor did I see an option for allowing mpeg2 AND DVD Support as decoding in FFDShow.

Can anyone help me locate these options? Thanks.

[turkey]

very nice app this, but cant help idiot users like me making silly mistakes, ;) after a few trial runs to work out what I wanted, I setup a big batch and recoded alot of avchd video, I changed it to pal from ntsc but missed changing the audio (facepalm)

I saw previously you could just copy the video but the mp4 files it creates it wont let me do this, and if I select encode audio only it just ouputs a single ac3 file and then when it does the next in the batch overwrites this file. It does not like it when it analyzes the file,

can anyone help / advise : what is the easiest way to recode the audio in all the mp4 files so they are pal ac3?

dont really want to have to recode the lot from scratch, but its about the "simplest" solution that I can see, as the rest is alot of manual work with various tools?

thanks guys :)

[turkey]

just been playing with it, and I think its because for some reason the encodes where failing when using default settings that for audio force directshowsource was set, and this seems to fail to alter the FPS of the audio ?

[Ozool]

I'm having audio/video sync issues trying to encode this blu-ray disc. The resulting file seems like video is about 1 second ahead of audio, the same delay throughout the entire video. Thoughts?

Remember that there are character limits on how long a single DOS command can be.
I recommend shortening titles to single words or short phrases and not using spaces to avoid HDC or it's parts losing track of a file path.

This is one reason it is recommended you keep HDC on the root level of a drive instead of in a personal documents folder since the extra path info is so long. I've seen things not work right because of "Documents and Settings".

[datauser]

I originally thought specific avisynth filters do not work in HDConvertX as stated by me in an earlier post and crash during muxing phase. They all work fine, in fact it is Avi-Mux which is causing the encoding crash and using the cbr setting in your HDConvertX encoding audio setting:

Using MP4 HDC(AVI-MUX utility) throws up the question occasionally about checking for cbr so "Always check for cbr" must be changed to "never check for cbr," in AVI-Mux itself. If you do not change and say "yes or No" to the question which it may ask you during the final muxing phase e.g after your 2 pass avi, the HDC program crashes anyway and you are left with an audio free failed encoding. Using abr audio as your choice does not necessarily avoid it, as it still checks for cbr so AVI-MUX options must be changed and saved in HDC main settings too.

Finally there are still some audio synch issues using MKV or MP4 as source input. Using DVD or AVI as an input causes no noticeable audio synch issues. Thanks.

I'v used this on XP 32bit and everything else went fine but x264 crashes when it need memory more than 2Gb.
Now I updated my OS to win7 pro x64 but I can't get HDConvertToX to find FFDShow (x64) :/

See first post by Buzzqw in this thread, I think you need to use win7 tweaker.
I'v use that win7 tweaker w/o any action. Problem occurs on HDConvertToX startup when using 64bit FFDshow. With 32bit ffdshow HDConvertToX starts OK, but x264 crashes

It's VC-1, ensure your VC-1 decoder is setup as per links in post #1 (ie FFDShow set to WMV9 to decode) ...

@buzzqw
Advanced Options / Filter:
The second line of the Free AVS String is not stored when 'Saving settings'.

@buzzqw
I probably bumped into another bug:
When selecting a bobbing deinterlacer (e.g. yadif Bob) which doubles the framerate, the fps= in the .meta sticks to the original framerate and the video plays at half speed.
I think the easiest solution is not to specify the fps= for the .meta and let TSmuxer take the fps from the video stream.

[gasnyder]

@buzzqw

Would it be possible to add a box to select the number of threads to use for x264 encodes? Currently "auto" is passed in the command line. This is starting 36 threads on my machine. I get smaller encodes and with the same performance using 12 threads. I've been manually updating the queue to change it to 12 before starting, but it would be easier if I could set it once and not have to change it every time.

Thanks

@sharc: It was already set as indicated. I tried un-installing and re-installing all software, re-encoded, ended up still with the same video-ahead-of-audio sync issue.

I also tried a different VC-1 file, and it decoded / re-encoded without any video/audio sync issues.

Any other thoughts? Perhaps because it's so long? (3 hours). It's out-of-sync a fixed amount at both the beginning and end of the clip.

Just tried a DVD, and also got out-of-sync issues - audio is about 1.5 seconds ahead of video.

Has the developer buzzqw finished updating this program?

[seplant]

:confused: Very strange...Been using HDConvertToX for over a year now with no issues to convert VC1 video to H264. Now just in the last few weeks, I'm having frequent audio sync issues. I haven't changed anything in my system other than the normal Windows updates and I'm using the same HDConvertToX options as previously. Has anyone else seen this recently? Any suggestions?

[Ozool]

Yes, me. (See above). Maybe some sort of Windows update messed things up?

[DoctorM]

I'm confused by something. Using latest version and update from first post on WinXP SP3.
Converting 1080p x264 content to 720p x264 with 2 pass.

I set the final MB to 666mb which shows below that the bitrate is 3832kbps. The audio was set to be copied untouched.
After adding it to the queue, the script says "--bitrate 3573".
I let it encode anyway and the final bitrate really is 3573kbps and the file size is 623mb.

I can understand size variation with one-pass modes, but 2 pass should be bang on. Considering that the queue script bitrate wasn't the same as the one calculated on the video tab, that's probably the issue.

[Marshy]

Same has happened to me when trying to recode avi from mp4 or MP4 in MKV container. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Alternately to what you say the problem could be the recompression/quality test etc, and if you are increasing bitrate e.g say encoding to avi from smaller sized mkv file and increasing bitrate/changing resolution, then the compression figures may be over 100%, hence undersizing or the codec used may indeed go a little bonkers too, if you decrease bitrate. If there are other explanations, I would like to know too, but this Forum as well as Automen's is pretty dead.

If this occurs use TMPGencXpress and encode it using DivX 5, 2pass. I never encounter any of this undersizing with it, and have had 100% success so far with things HDC could not sometimes handle.

[datauser]

.., but this Forum as well as Automen's is pretty dead.



You are not wrong there!:)

There are some dud??? advanced avisynth filters in HDC which need addressing/fixing/removing. Diego King of Queens in QMF does not work as does Fluxsmooth in QMF. Both cause AVI-Mux to initiate early after indexing operation and give error message 'file already in use.' Encoding then is aborted before 1st pass etc.

Also 'shutdown' does not work. When added to a queue it never functions. Just some bugs for developer to address. Thankyou.

[Sharc]

.... Also 'shutdown' does not work. When added to a queue it never functions....
Until it gets fixed (?) one can use
add.... Edit me => shutdown -s -t 2 -f.
This works.

Hello guys,
First at all I'd like to thank buzzqw for the great job! :thanks: Then, I'd like to ask some help about a problem I have in encoding a Blu-Ray DVD.
I run Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate on my pc, I followed rickatnight11's rules to install K-Lite Codec Pack 32-bit, then I installed K-Lite codec Pack 64-bit and its updates in my system. I also turned AVIMux_GUI.exe compatibility in Windows XP SP2, but I encouter troubles in encoding.
The problem is in freezing application after some time it's working, and nothing is possible to make it finishing conversion.
I attach a report, hoping it can help someone here to solve my issue.
Thank you very much to all people who will help me. Have a good day

[DoctorM]

I have a deblocker question.
My source is 1080p but with terrible blocking artifacts. I'm looking to re-encode to 720p, but I'm having trouble cleaning the source.
HDConverttoX seems to disable x264 decoder's internal deblocking leaving me with artifact-y (if not an accurate) conversion.

Adding my own deblocker is less effective and since it is applied AFTER the resize doesn't quite work as well.
Interestingly, I noticed that all scripts automatically import Deblock_QED_MT2, but I can find no option that actually enables it.

I guess my question is there away to get the x264 decoder's deblocking to do it's job? Does anyone have any other suggestion?

BTW, as for the undersize issue with 2-pass encodings, the problem occurs when copying audio tracks from the source.

It gets the video bitrate right if it is encoding and knows the target audio bitrate, but when it's copying the audio it seems unable to read the original track's file size properly.

Edit: Best work around for the bitrate problem--
-Go to the Audio tab and set the stream as if you WERE re-encoding it. Set the audio bitrate and codec to what your current track already is.
-Go to the Video tab and set up your 2-pass settings. Write down the bitrate that is automatically calculated.
-Go back to the Audio tab and change the 'Encode using:" to 'Copy Audio'.
-Go back to the Video tab and fill in the 'Manually Set Bitrate:' box with the number you wrote down in step 2.

A bit more effort, but you'll be able to maximize your quality until this bug is fixed.

[datauser]

I did two avi(xvid) encodings of same source one with Automen and other with HDConvertXtoDVD and using a 5.1 track to convert to mp3 128abr joint stereo. I checked via mp3ain tool and Media Info Tool which shows different replay gain values. Both audio are nearly the same size, but the slightly smaller one(by 0.2mb) AutoMen(84.4db ) is much louder/balanced overall. I checked via two dvd player playback checks, whilst the HDC(85.2db) test track though slightly higher db has incredibly quiet speech/vocals, but the effects in this HDC track are normal to overly loud. Turning up the TV has no effect on main vocals of track encoded via HDConverttoX, but effects explosions, music of said track only etc. I fail to understand this when 128abr was used in both encodings.

Obviously they are not the same, but I assumed same Lame switches at 128abr used would give similar results. Is it due to the replay gain method used/tags/audio blocks encoded in mp3 track at start or sound algorithmns/loudness adjustments when the audio is encoded and later decoded during playback on a standalone(I tested on Philips and LG DivX certified players? HDConvertoX does this to nearly all of my xvid encodings which come out with unbalanced mp3 audio encoded track after converting from some 5.1 tracks.

The Forum support for these software are virtually dead of late so cannot ask developer. Any of you audio savvy guys would you please explain how this strange audio issue could be occurring in this way to my encodings? Thanks

5.1 AC3 tracks have a function called "dialogue normalization" ....

I am betting HDC is encoding the AC3 5.1 without first removing the dialogue normalization (hence lower "volume") ...

Try forcing HDC to do the audio conversion via EAC3to (instead of whatever you are using like "DirectShow") ...

Nice to know ... I've always had an issue with low surround sound volume compared to stereo (which just plainly rocks) !

The default is EAC3(as I said, I used default) and I think it must be the problem here. After using force FFMEG I find it does not produce this low vocal issue from surround tracks like AC-3to mp3 conversion as in the EAC3 decoding process.

Hi,

I have converted a couple of blu-ray movies to mkv with HDConvertToX, but I have problems with the subtitles when playing the mkv's on my Tvix-6500. The mkv's plays fine with subtitles on my computer but on the Tvix the font of the subtitle is changed and the subtitle sometimes totally disappears. The problem seems to be the font. If only converting the blu-ray movie to a large m2ts file with tsMuxer then everything works fine on the Tvix but when converting the m2ts file to mkv with HDConvertTox then the subtitle problems appears. I have used muxed subtitles in the mkv container (not embedded in the video stream). There is no real subtitle settings in HDConvertToX, so I'm a little confused here. Is there anyone who has any ideas of why the subtitles works fine on my computer but not on the Tvix?

[Marshy]

Where's the developer and has he abandoned this great program? :confused: Xvid 3.0 is out etc, and this program like Automen needs some updating/bug fixing. If I had the knowledge I'd do it myself:stupid:, but we need the likes of Buzzqw!:)

[Sharc]

Possibly his twins keep him away from the computer ....:D

As I said over in AutoMen's Forum I have since moved onto Staxrip as it is supported/stable. Until the developer returns that's me done here for now. Only thing left to say is to convey Buzzqw the very best until he returns fighting fit to continue with his worthy projects here.:)

[Washka]

I`m using HDConvertToX for year but also using StaxRip sometimes. HDConvertToX can`t open some mp4`s but that`s very rare.

all 4 compulsory programs(probably 32 bit) installed but have 4 issues:

1-missing haali media splitter install error even if it is installed
2-program asking me if i want to change to 64bit after or not?
3-after openning file like ifo program is stoned and not responding..
4-win7dstweaker 4.1 opened but dont know how to setup for proper directshow

please can u provide some info how to get over it...thanks so much

1. LOL Google -> haali media splitter !?!?!? BINGO....
2. Say NO, and Never install x64 version of any codec if you don`t know how they work. It`s too complicated to explain in two lines and actually you gain 10% in speed MAX.
3. Probably you missing something
4. win7dstweaker doesn`t have anything with almost any program except default windows media player and most programs using their codecs or settings.

[deejay.2001]

thanks for reply

so far after restart haali ok
so just two issues to go:

1-if i load IFO (DVD) , program will not load pgc(will stop responding), where i should look for problem?
i have tried to apply all ffdshow setup as per info for windows 7 users but dvd cant be loaded...similar issue from user on page 182..so i believe it might be a bug...buzzgw can you please tell us where to look for this issue to be resolved?
(i can load other files ok, just IFO DVD not)
RESOLVED-windows 7 need start program as administrator

2-how to stop program asking me if i want to switch to x264 64bit...?
should i convert in x264 64bit or not? any advantage in speed?

thanks guys

[gasnyder]

I've had no luck running the 64bit. I'm using the 32 bit version on a 64-bit Win 7 machine. I don't remember exactly what the problem was but you might want to try the 32 bit and see if things work better for you.

Running the 32-bit, the encode dies sometimes with an error message about x264.exe has stopped working. I also see brief glitches in the video sometimes. If I rencode, they usually go away. I've updated to the latest x264 executable and the latest ffdshow tryout code but the problems remain. But since the Win7 machine encodes 10 times faster than the WinXP system I used to use, it's hard to give up that extra speed. I've tried limiting the number of threads used to 12 or so and it doesn't help. The auto setting picks 36 threads ( Dual, 6 core processors with hyperthreading ).

The machine does have an NVidia card and I have a license for the NVTools software but I haven't tried that yet.

I don't know of any way to shut off the question asking to switch to 64 bit.

[deejay.2001]

having issues with hdconverttox
(dont understand why version 3 has still basic issues which automkv did not have even before version 1)

1. audio video out of sync (converting pal dvd from ifo to x264 mkv-have to say that previous soft automkv did not do this but unfortunatelly is dead horse and audio conversion does not work there in windows 7 anymore even if i change bassaudio.dll)
(if someone knows how to use automkv properly in windows 7 64bit and what needs to be changed please let me know as my automkv stops by encoding audio doing nothing no matter what audio codec is choosen only if i choose copy original than it works ok)

2. video is not deinterlaced (animation source has horizontal lines by movement and i used animation x264 preset on-in automkv was auto option for deinterlace, here in hdconverttox you dont know what to choose from, way too complicated for normal user)

i have this interlace test:
Source is declared tff by a margin of 559/17.
Analyzed 2308 sections of five frames
Found Interlace Sections: 1081 46.84%
Found Progressive Sections:575 24.91%

(what deinterlace filter to choose from list? what is source is declared TFF?)

3-no file output (dvd with episodes selected before analyze)
report file below
UPDATE ABOUT NO FILE OUTPUT
if you getting no file output is because eac3to outputs pid-80.mp3 file name and mkvmerge pid-2.mp3 file name...so cant be muxed together
the only way how to get over it is to put job in queue and manually edit string to match both same name like pid-2.
hope this helps

please thanks for points and guides...

also is this program dead or alive as i could see program writer latest post is in october 2010...which is 5 months back...

hopefully it will not end up like with automkv which was good program but was left to die....

there should be closed version which will actually work and install properly with all avisynth,ffdshow,haali,xvid necessities as so far it does not have stable performance and you never know if you get output or not after many hours converting, or if audio will not be out of sync.
this needs to be addressed.....

[gasnyder]

The problem with the pid-80, pid-2 naming issue has been fixed several times. It looks like you are using a version newer than I am, so I'm not sure why it's still broken for you. There might be some path that you are using that hasn't been fixed yet. I tried the auto-update feature and it gives a version that is still downlevel from yours. I assume you just downloaded the latest update from the first post? I'll try downloading that version to see if the naming issue came back in that version.

[deejay.2001]

i have checked with older version and same issue...

so somehow we have 2 problems:

1.PID audio number bug (eac3to reports different pid comparing to mkvmerge so no file output at the end.
(unfortunatelly other audio conversion like soundout or ffdshow does not work either-also getting problems)

2.while converting pal IFO dvd to mkv x264+mp3, audio is out of sync a bit.
is there any way to find out why from queue ini or what to look for?

is buzz alive or why he did not updated and fixed these issues for more than 5 months. anyone knows?:confused:

[TraumaDoc]

So, the program is dead then?

Anyone know another good program to take Blurays to AVI ? It seems all the programs out there are only outputting to MKV now! That sucks - I convert MKV and Bluray to AVI to plug into my TV USB input and it doesn't play MKV - only AVI and MPG

Dead, no, pining for the alps maybe! Megui.

Latest version installed.

After the AC3 audio is converted to MP3, the next step is the recoding of the video.

The AVS2AVI program starts, but ends up failing with this error:

Unable to open compressor with fourCC "divx".

Any ideas as to why?

UPDATE: The XviD to AVI works, but not the DivX to AVI. Just what exactly is it looking for? DivX isn't listed in the required programs in the first post, so I figured it was included.

I'm trying to make DivX certified DVD player files.

[setarip_old]

@MrVideo Unable to open compressor with fourCC "divx".Is it possible that the program is case sensitive?

Try "DIVX"...

[MrVideo]

@MrVideo Is it possible that the program is case sensitive?

Try "DIVX"...

I'm not doing anything to set the text, it is all being done within HDConvertToX.

[MrVideo]

The XviD encoding option works and the result was playable on the person's DivX DVD player, so the issue is resolved in a roundabout way.

[valnar]

Are there any alternative, updated x264 front ends with features similar to HDConvertToX?

[MrVideo]

I needed to rebuild the PeeCee. After doing so and installing the software, it complained about three things not being installed. I installed all three, yet HDConvertToX still complains that Haali is not installed.

BUT IT IS. It is installed in the same location before the rebuild and yet HDConvertToX believes that it doesn't exist.

What does it take to get HDConvertToX to find the installation?

[flebber]

Why not just download a new x264 and drop it in into hdc?

Megui runs right on the heels of x264 release and is easily updated including a vast amount of tweakability with avisynth etc. Most of the other encoders use the handbrake cli vidcoder ckmox etc

FFcoder has x264 and avisynth but I haven't been able to get a successful encode from it yet and can't figure out where the error comes from so you will be on your own there. Ripbot is simple powerful and effective.

[sunfish]

I'm trying to convert my 25 fps PAL movies back to the proper length originals.
Video and audio conversion is quick and sweet but there doesn't appear to be any way to adjust the subtitles within the same HDConvertToX pass.
Is this a feature than can be added in future releases?
For now I have to extract the subtitles and run them through Subresync.

[pdanpdan]

Is the source code for this program available for further modification/bug fixing? If it is, where can I get it?
Thank you, PDan.

Surprised no one has said anything but for future reference an older version of Haali should fix the issue. Running 1.10.175.0 myself atm.

It is the same version that I had running before I reinstalled Windblows. I have no idea what version it is, as there is no GUI interface that will provide that info. But, it is from 5/19/2010. Not exactly new.

Yeah, I spoke too soon. I had installed an older version in the past to get rid of it but it's working with a current version of Haali atm(1.9.42.1). It did complain once or twice, only thing I can think of that I did was save some changes to the starting ini file.

[MrVideo]

How can version 1.9.42.1 be newer than version 1.10.175.0? :D

In any event, I found the cause. HDConvertToX needs a minor fix. I looked at the html manual and it says that MPEG2/PS support needs to be enabled during the install. So, I went and reinstalled Haali to see what the settings were. Sure enough, that one is not checked by default. So I set it. Now the program starts.

The program needs to be fixed to report that Haali needs to be installed with MPEG2/PS selected, instead saying that Haali needs to be installed, which it was. It is a false error.

[delacroixp]

Great detective work .

[KiwiKid]

Can you increase subtitle font size when converting BD to MKV with hardcoded subs? Perhaps I've overlooked some setting. Thanks :)

[meshaun]

No UPDATE?

[flebber]

No UPDATE?

Well I have had a few beers and am thinking about tackling a big bag of corn chips. Beyond that not much is new to update.

[meshaun]

I mean, x264 isn't updated. and even many more codecs and writing applications,
so why not a good update and make it the best of all

[flebber]

Well most of the apps are in the folder, you could substitute in the updated components you wnted in.

Honestly if Buzzqw does come back from a break it is likely he will probably start another encoder.

[8ternity]

Long time i dont use your software, but i found some bugs in the past for many softwares including yours. French Windows set with decimal "," separation need to be changed to ".". It was generates some bugs in some conversions of x264 command lines.

Im testing right now the version 3.0.xxx.xxx latest.

Hope to get your software running back for me. :thanks:

[DJ-1]

Hi, I've come back to using this app....
A question using the Nero aac encoder.
Input file is a. M2ts file with dts-core lpcm inside....
Currently outputting 64kbps 22.05KHz x 2ch AAC (HE-AAC/LC)

I got the info from media-info, also PS3 shows the same

Is 22.05, or even 24.0kHz OK for audio quality?

I tried resampling to 96kHz thinking I'd get 2ch @2x48khz. ...but it made 2 audio streams strangely, LOL :-!

[DJ-1]

Oops, wrong thread..
BUT POST 3723 STILL a valid question, pls don't ignore that one.....

[TraumaDoc]

Yeah, it really sucks in my opinion. I still want to use the program and wish it was being maintained and updated, as well as supported. It still has its uses, but is no longer... well, you know.

Can anyone give me a good replacement program for the same functions? I've tried a dozen programs, including "Super" but most programs are missing this or that or don't work as intended or needed. My most important need is to convert MKV's and other formats to mostly xvid avi's to play on my USB input flat screen TV that is limited in ability. I want to take good high quality sources such as bluray or brayrips, etc. and convert them to xvide avi to play as I just said. But, I want to maintain as much massive resolution/quality as possible.

I've got a dozen different tools and takes a day or two or more to mix and match my needs or conversion, quality, adding subs, etc. just to get what I want.

I could use some suggestions to replace what was an otherwise good tool that is no longer being maintained here for us !!

Anyone?

[valnar]

I've been playing with HandBrake and VidCoder, but I haven't delved into the differences between them at HDConvertToX. Since it looks like Buzzqw won't be returning to work on this, has anyone compared the features between those programs?

[flebber]

If you want xvid avi, then would auto gordian knot be good its aimed specifically at xvid. http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=28

Buzzqw hasnt maintained this for a while. The x264 version in here has changed significantly. Can I suggest switching to another encoder several in this forum will do what you need.

[nx6]

I would suggest Xvid4PSP. The 5.x branch is being patched by someone on Google Code and is quite good.

[Deathbliss]

I got this to work with a good 70% of my mkv and m2ts files, and that was after a long search! Tonight I managed to handle part of the remaining 30%, so I really would prefer to stick with this. I have tried Xvid4PSP - where's all the settings? I couldn't access anything like bitrate or the other stuff I need.

Was also wondering how to work with DTS audio? I gather I'm supposed to pass it through for the Xbox 360? Can I do anything with DTS and DD 5.1 using Xvid4PSP for the Xbox 360? Any tutorials detail this? Can I do this process, or something just as fast, in Xvid4PSP:

Click the little gear icon button next to the preset setting to customize it. Make sure the video encoding mode is set to use bitrate and not a CQ value if you want to control the bitrate. ;)

If your source has DTS or some other format the XBox supports you could just choose the "Copy Audio" function so it doesn't get transcoded.

Can I do this process, or something just as fast, in Xvid4PSP:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=164201

Not gonna read that at the moment. Going to bed now (and not gonna spam up HDConvertToX's thread anymore). It helps if you know what the playback capabilities are for the XBox when setting settings of course.

Edit: Okay, I read that real fast, and it just looks like you're remuxing an existing video into MP4. I don't get why you'd need to specify bitrate if you're not actually encoding anything. You should just be able to use a tool like MP4muxer to move everything from the original MKV or m2ts into an MP4 container.

[Abyssal]

I know that it's pretty outdated but as many have stated, you can just update the filters manually and be done with it...

...but now so it happens that I've run across a little problem when adding new filters to the filters folder.

Let's say I wanna download warpsharp and add it (I know aWarpsharp is already there but this is just an example) then it can sometimes give me this "Please check media properties" error when analyzing a file. Do note that some filters work fine and others don't - some that don't tends to work after downloading a different version.

Anyone know if there is an easier way to solve this problem? I have also noted that after adding them into the filters folder and started encoding - right when it starts to encode (meaning after demuxing) the cmd disappears out of the blue and the encode obviously stops. This is only with a few filters and happened with a filter or two that was added by the developer (so it was already present).

[Crono141]

I used this software for my encodes exclusively for awhile. Then I discovered handbrake. I do all my encoding to h264 now (I went through the whole xbox360, ps3, media center compatibility thing). I finally got a WDTV live and now I encode EVERYTHING into MKV with x264, passthrough audio. I've got PS3MediaServer running on the PC so all my networked devices still work with the files. Just my 2 cents on recommended alternatives.

You are using pass through audio which negates one of my main concerns which is faac audio that handbrake uses to encode.

[Galgofa]

almost good working encoder, i like it, only small error on the beginning "wavi.exe problem", sistem win7, anyone to advice what the problem and how to solve it. thnks.

[monkUsa]

I've been using this tool for over a year now... I recently had to re-install Windows XP and now the software does not work correctly...

At the end of an encode it just pauses or stops! The PC is fine and everything is working... I then have to press CTRL-C twice and the standard DOS question appears "Terminate Batch Job?" which I say NO to and then the encode either continues or finishes depending on how many passes I am doing.

This only happens when I select Force DirectShowSource2.

If I do the encode under any other option everything works fine.

I am thinking that one of the dependent applications has a setting that needs to be changed, but all the tweaking in the world has not solved it.

Any ideas?

So your proof is that he stopped one project and started another? Yeah, that implies a pattern of behavior...

You could think of it as "he reaches the limits of what can be accomplished with one project, and rather than do a full version number release that changes the way everything is done, he starts the next one as a separate project to avoid user confusion".

[flebber]

Or as he completed a project his programming and design skills got better and he wanted to create new programs based on better knowledge and design.

Well, it wasn't my original comment, but sort of. He started TWO projects and stopped BOTH. He currently is not updating his last project (this one), nor has he started another that I'm aware of. I've even donated money to him over the years.

That being said, he wouldn't be the first developer who has done that. Many projects just "stop" all the time. But most on this forum who were familiar with AutoMKV and HDConvertToX are upset simply because there is no suitable alternative that is as good. HandBrake comes close IMO, but still lacks the options. Had an inferior GUI stopped development, nobody would care, but many regard Buzzqw's work as the best in the field.

[flebber]

I liked Buzzqw work. His work appeared to end largely when his family expanded with more kids. So it's good his focus is there.

It is harsh to say there is no replacement. Both Ripbot and zathors new Megui one click are far better than Handbrake IMO.

I've found Xvid4PSP to be a good replacement (the 5.0 branch that's maintained on Google Code). It has plenty of options you can set through the GUI instead of having to type the x264 command string out yourself, and is far easier that HDConvertToX when you're encoding for a specific portable device.

One of the few places Xvid4PSP doesn't compete is making files with multiple audio or subtitle tracks. I usually have to do secondary audio-only encoding and remux stuff.

[Ramir Gonzales]

Or as he completed a project his programming and design skills got better and he wanted to create new programs based on better knowledge and design.

Quite the contrary. Once he reaches the same spot, which it gets a little less easy, he abandons and starts from 0, and he keeps on repeating the same pattern. He doesn't learn, he doesn't WANT to learn.

Then, it's much better the way he's doing now, stop screwing around with GUI's if you don't wanna learn along the way anyway.

[valnar]

Which current program is a good GUI to go to that handles multiple audio & subtitle tracks? It also needs to handle resizing, black bar removal, anamorphic (either keep or remove) and auto aspect ratio correctly? I consider filters a bonus, but not necessity.

Buzzqw's two products didn't necessarily automate all those processes, but they were available. Everything from analog or DVD rip to the final MKV file could be done in one program, then batched.

AvideMux is Like VirtualDub... with steroids... :devil:
RipBot264 because is very easy to use and has a minmalistic gui... :eek:

GNU (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License) software can be a hard road to travel although there are many glittering success stories (even big projects like UNIX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix)) .

Unfortunately , software is a neverending story ... maintainability is key (and no man is an island) .
When I studied computer science at UCT (http://www.cs.uct.ac.za/) in the 80's ... structured and well documented programs were essential to allow new programmers to take over when staff moved on
(gone were the days of spaghetti code (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghetti_code) ... we weren't even allowed to use the Goto statement) .

HDConverToX (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=145577) was 99% complete but you can't simply plug in the latest Nero or 10-bit x264 (http://x264.nl/)* encoder (which allows for more accurate computations) .


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


* 10-bit x264 (http://x264.nl/) is analogeous to the millenium bug (http://www.countdown.org/y2k/what_is_y2k.htm) ... 8-bit encoding was used to save space but causes rounding errors which translates into less quality and bigger encodes .

AvideMux is Like VirtualDub... with steroids... :devil:Do you know if it's possible to add filters in AvideMux?

(In particular I need MVdegrain3.)

[fantasmanegro]

i guess you can add filters but i have never tried it....

but you can use MVDegrain3 with AviSynth and open the AVS file in Avidemux!

[Honeyko]

I'm looking for a one-stop-shopping solution. :-)

[fantasmanegro]

well avisynth + virtualdub with steroids (avidemux) is a BIG one-stop-shop solution...

[Honeyko]

The primary reason I'm shopping around for GUIs is because I'm tired of trying to figure out why synth and its list of dependencies are randomly breaking under Windblows 7. :-P

That, and I hate dealing with scripts and typing drive paths and yadda-yadda.

[fantasmanegro]

if you are talking about HDConvertoX, i cannot help you about that because i do not use HDCtX... RipBot264, AviDemux, StaxRip , HandBrake, VidCoder as i said before...

the only one i have used and do not require anything else is HandBrake (VidCoder GUI alternative), but if you need avisynth filters then you will have to deal with scripts...

it's kind of 'basic' rule...

[Honeyko]

AutoMKV and HDConvertoX incorporated MVdegrain; the user never had to write a thing (just check a box).

[fantasmanegro]

and the they have something in common... they are outdate... sorry... just my personal point of view... you can use the software you want/like...

[Honeyko]

The filters aren't out-of-date -- what's out-of-date is the depressing lack of filter options in most install-and-run GUI tools.

I.e., both Handbrake and Aviddemux have a denoise option, but nothing for grain....which is really retarded when you think about it.

Hi there,

for those guys out there like me that convert the 25 fps of PAL-DVDs to 23.976 fps with subtitles and chapters in a mkv ( and like to use hdconverttox for it): I didn't notice any support to change the framerate of the chapters and the subtitles. If you mux subtiles and chapters with hdconverttox after slowdown they'll be out of sync.

To adjust both files i wrote two little programs in autoit3 -
usage: chapconvert <file> <sourcefps> <destfps>, for example
chapconvert chapters.txt 25 23.976 will convert the chapters.txt in the jobx folder from original 25 fps to 23.976.
Similar the idxconvert.exe:
idxconvert.exe <file> <sourcefps> <destfps>, for example
idxconvert.exe hdc_subs.idx 25 23.976 will convert the hdc_subs.idx in the jobx folder of hdconverttox from 25 fps to 23.976.

After these conversions are done and you mux the final file the chapters and subtitles are in sync again...

Thanks MvB. :) I'm still using this great tool and it still gives vastly superior Xvid/Mp4 quality encodings compared to Handbrake or AviDemux which are both good. Only Staxrip matches HDConverttoX for quality in my subjective opinion, but it is not as stable as Buzz's software tool for me. The filter package by Buzzqw is very good especially for newbies:D. Most work, a few don't sometimes, but hell you use the ones you like or work for you in your setup/system. The degrain are great too. I hope Buzzqw is doing fine and if he chooses to recontinue developing this fine piece of software or post bug fix updates I look forward to it as we all should!

Hi,

I have been running HDConvertToX for a while and it has been working great.
However a couple of days ago I got a "blue screen" while converting and since then I get the error pop'up "Unable to compute correct Aspect Ratio". This pops up when doing the initial analyze of a movie in HDConvertToX.
I'm running Windows 7 and I have tried to re-install everything following the same guide as I followed when I installed it the first time:
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1318934#post1318934

I have used latest versions.

Does anyone know what suddenly went wrong? Any solutions?

Please help!

Hi, can I add a new de-interlace filter to the drop down box?
If so.... How?
Thanks.

[Sharc]

I don't think so.
Instead you could add a script in the Advanced Options Tab, or manually edit the hdconverttox_.... .avs script in the working (i.e. job..) folder. You should check the generated script anyway and make sure that the deinterlacing is placed before any resizing.
It's a pity that buzzqw has left the forum :(

[deejay.2001]

how can i force hdconvertox to encode just lets say 1 minute or few seconds of the whole movie?

seems like program always encodes whole movie even that i will set few frames only in the program.

many thanks for help

Did you try under Advanced Options => Free AVS String:
Trim(a,b) with a,b the lower and upper frame number you want to keep?

[datauser]

A reported bug from Videohelp: There is a bug in HDConvertToX, even after selecting "none" for De-interlace Filters, it still does not put --tff (or --bff) on the X264 command line, you have to insert it manually. With updated GUI is it still seen with those who regularly encode x264?

Also inserting Shutdown in "queue", etc using "Add" does not work. Thanks.

[delacroixp]

So your proof is that he stopped one project and started another? Yeah, that implies a pattern of behavior...

You could think of it as "he reaches the limits of what can be accomplished with one project, and rather than do a full version number release that changes the way everything is done, he starts the next one as a separate project to avoid user confusion".

X265 needs buzzqw ... all hail the mighty genius .

recently i tried to convert my 1920x1080 50p videocamera mts files to 1280x720p 25p mkv but anytime i choose any filters to convert to frame rate 25p, audio and video is out of sync.
what need to be selected to get proper 25fps frame rate converted audio+video together please?

thanks guys

Video Tab => Deinterlace Filters => "Half Framerate".

Quite right !

Funny enough, I had a similar problem recently trying to convert BergensBanen (http://nrkbeta.no/2009/12/18/bergensbanen-eng/) released by NRK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NRK) in Apple 1080 i50 (7 hour train trip in Norway).

The Norwegians seem to love Slow TV (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_television) more than any other nation (I guess it's the long winter nights).
I've never seen it done so professionally ... by a national broadcaster, followed by such a huge audience,
in realtime and ... released to the public under Creative Commons licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/).

The original file is a 246 GB file downloadable by torrents from NRK.
They also released Hurtigruten (http://nrkbeta.no/2011/06/16/hurtigruten-eng/) [comment (http://nrkbeta.no/2011/06/16/hurtigruten-eng/#comment-147779)] (134 hr boat trip up the Norwegian coast) in Full HD ... a 600 GB file download.
It'll make a great x265 project since the original program aired on TV @ 720p ... but should compress nicely in 1080p.

That said, HDConvertToX worked flawlessly.
(It's a shame all the goodies can't be updated ... but x265 is out there)

Where can I find a variable quantizer profile ... one that delivers the perceived quality of Q19 but the filesize of Q20 or Q21 .

I've seen 2-pass encodes with quantizers scattered all over a 5 or 10 quantizer range ...
that seem to maintain a quality consistancy well beyond their single quantizer equivalent (As measured by AVInaptic).

That said , I don't really want to get into 2-pass encoding (since a target filesize for each movie holds no interest to me) ...
but I would like to achieve a more efficient 1-pass Q19.
It might be a plan to get into a new cutting edge x264 app ... what's good to go!

Thanks much

There is 2-pass quality encoding, which should theoretically make sure the bits are used more effectively despite a file size not being targeted. I think it may even allow setting min/max values. I remember seeing a setting like that in XviD4PSP.

Hmmm ... looking good indeed ... very perky for sure.

I've been following the guys on x265 HEVC Encoder (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=168814&page=49) with some discussion on
'perceived' constant-quality encoding vs straight CRF.

Thanks much

I remember vaguely that one can do something similar in HDConvertToX, by putting in the .ini:
Allow CRF + 1 pass encoding=1.

I remember vaguely that one can do something similar in HDConvertToX, by putting in the .ini:

... I did find the CRF + 1 pass ... and gave it a go.
I don't really understand the concept but it did ... SET bitrate on the 2nd pass
(gained from CRF 21 for an episode of Friends on the 1st pass) .

Funny enough , the final product flatlined @ CRF 22 ... with a correspondingly smaller filesize .
I can only surmise that buzzqw added some magic into that 2nd pass that boosts the quality.
I didn't try to make a visual comparison since it just seems opposite to the goal of
'constant perceived quality' with 'extremely variable bitrate' .
The CRF+1pass seems better suited to streaming where a constant bitrate is more important.

That said ... I'm still hunting down the perfect encode.

Thanks much nx6 and Sharc.

I think the idea was to do a CRF encode in pass1 which sets the "Quality" level. Just tell x264 to make a .stats file. Then do a second pass using the bitrate from pass 1.
The second pass will improve on the perceived quality by redistributing the bits (bandwidth) most efficiently.

I am not sure what the improvement would be compared to a lone CRF pass, as I have never tried this "Quality based 2-pass" method.

Mighty fine indeed ... very spiffy (even the site uses MS Silverlight).

Downloaded Version 7 (http://www.winnydows.com/#News) (Doesn't install + all-inclusive EXE ... very neat) .
Tried the CQ ... which encoded over 3 quantizers.
However, CRF seams to be the business and lets you stipulate qpmin/qpmax .
The 'estimated time remaining' is a bit whacky (jumps as wildly as the FPS) and includes ms (milliseconds) :rolleyes:

Very customizable and includes x265.

I should have mentioned I didn't mean the current one. I was talking about the independent bugfixing going on of version 5 (http://code.google.com/p/xvid4psp/). I've wanted to try the current one but I'm not willing to download the ununinstallable Silverlight just to use the damn website.

Cool you like it, though.

Does the newer version include support for multiple audio track encoding? That's one feature I miss from HDCtoX and is not in XVid4PSP (5).

Unfortunately, I couldn't encode this movie since I can't find the "Half Framerate".

I have issue while converting video and selecting subtiles to merge in mkv file that I will end up with no output.

anyone has similar issue, as this will not happen if subtitles are not selected then encoding and output is ok.
