HDConvertToX v. 3.0 (14/10/2010)

[whipdancer]

This one has me confused. Because The Game Plan uses seamless branching, I use TSMuxer to create a "new" bluray structure with a single m2ts file in it that has the movie.

The m2ts file plays fine in VLC (sound & image), but HDC reports no audio tracks.

Thoughts?

[paolo1983]

Is there any known issues with regard to IFOs that have more than one PGC? I select the proper PGC and the analysis shows the correct duration. Sometimes the video of all PGCs get encoded, always accompanied by the audio of the main movies first. So if the main movie gets encoded first, the video and audio will be in sync, otherwise they'll be out of sync.

p.s. Handbrake works fine for those IFOs that don't seem to work in HDConvertToX

Hey, I think this is the same thing that has happened to me
In fact, Swordfish has more than 1 PGC... But Da Vinci Code has only one, and still problems...

@buzzqw
I'm doing a full make again... wait a couple of hours and I will post it

No straight answer to your question, but I would recommend to use Clown_BD (http://forum.slysoft.com/showthread.php?p=166910)for merging the segments of a movie. It calls eac3to for demuxing and tsmuxer for remuxing, and prevents sync issues one might get when using tsmuxer alone. Just my experience.

[paolo1983]

Same difference in movie lenght, same problem.
I've not been able to find other logs except those I posted before and these other...
Sometimes ago you said me there is no way to have a full log :-)

i got only problem with scyla script for virtualdub/mod... so vdub is a no go for me (actually)
BHH

Some tests:

A. XviD movie with 5.1CH AC3

I. Gspot reports:

1. AviMuxGui Output by HDX:
AVI v1.0
Interleave: 2 vid frames (83 ms), preload=512
Audio frames: Aligned on interleaves

2. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by me:
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
Interleave: 1 vid frame (42 ms), preload=512
Audio frames: Split across interleaves

3. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by AutoGK, but with no problems for any standalone player:
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
Interleave: 2 vid frames (83 ms), preload=512
Audio frames: Split across interleaves

II MediaInfo reports:

1. AviMuxGui Output by HDX:
Alignment : Aligned on interleaves
Interleave, duration : 64 ms (1.53 video frames)
Interleave, preload duration : 512 ms

2. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by me , but with no problems for any standalone player:
Alignment : Split accross interleaves
Interleave, duration : 42 ms (1.00 video frame)
Interleave, preload duration : 500 ms

3. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by AutoGK, but with no problems for any standalone player:
Alignment : Split accross interleaves
Interleave, duration : 84 ms (2.00 video frames)
Interleave, preload duration : 500 ms


B. XviD movie with MP3 VBR

I. Gspot reports:

1. AviMuxGui Output by HDX:

AVI v1.0
Interleave: 1 vid frame (42 ms), preload=504
Audio frames: Aligned on interleaves

2. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by me (same results like the following 3. -the AutoGK output-):
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
Interleave: 1 vid frame (42 ms), preload=504
Audio frames: Aligned on interleaves

3. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by AutoGK, but with no problems for any standalone player:
OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
Interleave: 1 vid frame (42 ms), preload=504
Audio frames: Aligned on interleaves


II MediaInfo reports (for me these reports are strange and I trust more Gspot):

1. AviMuxGui Output by HDX:
Alignment : Aligned on interleaves
Interleave, duration : 24 ms (0.58 video frame)
Interleave, preload duration : 457 ms

2. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by me , but with no problems for any standalone player:
Alignment : Aligned on interleaves
Interleave, duration : 24 ms (0.58 video frame)
Interleave, preload duration : 316 ms

3. VirtualDubMod Output muxed by AutoGK, but with no problems for any standalone player:
Alignment : Aligned on interleaves
Interleave, duration : 24 ms (0.58 video frame)
Interleave, preload duration : 316 ms

I think if AviMuxGui will mux the same way as virtualdubmod is muxing, will be no problems when playing to standalone players.
buzz, you can make your own test to save from virtualdubmod some output avi from HDX and see the difference.

Thank you for your support!

enjoy,
Mtz

I'm trying a workaround for my problem:

usually I use DVDFab FullDisc option , now I re-processed the already ripped folder with the Main Movie option, selecting only main movie and one audio.

Then I gave to HDC vts_01_0.ifo

I will post result as soon as it finishes.

EDIT: GOOD NEWS!

Encoding from Main Movie as I said before everything seems to be OK... I don't see "spurious images" at the beginning, and audio is correct...
So the problem imho is not related to "encoding" , but to IFO / PGC / VOB handling... I hope this test can help you.. Obviously, I don't know anything else that can help :-)

@whipdanced

what say eac3to.exe yourfile.m2ts ?

@Mtz

i will try ...

@paolo1983

it's the exact opposite :)
ifo handling was correct, BUT the ripped vobs have strange timings (as i already said it's a problem of rip)

and .. next time post the make report

BHH

[paolo1983]

the 2nd rip is from the video_ts originally ripped... If first rip is bad how can 2nd rip be good ?
I used same dvdfab version...

This is make report for the Full Disc rip - the rip you say is bad

Please tell me if you see something strange here...
Ripping only main movie can be a workaround, but I'd like to know the reason of this :-)


BTW, there is a typo in a dialog, analyzing the 2nd file after the 1st, you ask "assume propierties" and previus

And remember audio track names :-P
(just joking, thank you for all your efforts) !!!

[sunfish]

it's the exact opposite
ifo handling was correct, BUT the ripped vobs have strange timings (as i already said it's a problem of rip)

But Handbrake handles the same ifo/vobs correctly.

[8ternity]

Hi,

I have an trouble with update. When it Check for Update, the software found an version update 2.1.489.3667, hit install and make me an comment. Close program and re-execute and still the same version 458.xxx version.

Could you help me with that please?

[whipdancer]

@whipdanced

what say eac3to.exe yourfile.m2ts ?

BHH

@buzzqw

I've done something to mess up my system because I'm getting all kinds of weird errors now. So I'll update later, I'm in the process of re-imaging my system.

Once I'm done, I'll try check both the m2ts file with no audio reported and my wmv encoding - and i'll update here.

Thanks,
Whip

[buzzqw]

@Mtz

so.. for avi+mp3 it's already ok, from your reports..
just for xvid+ac3 could be some problem..isn't it ?

@paolo1983 @sunfish
i remember in autogk threads some similar problems.. many users got strange delay or intro into main movie after rip (regardless of ripping procedures)
usually the ripping application don't write correct timings in vobs, and eac3to when analyze it, were falsed by those timings
i precious suggestion given was to use dvdshrink (in no compression mode) to reauthor the already ripped dvd.
dvdshrink (or as paolo1983 done, rerip in movie only) will write correct timings and delay is a no go

handbrake/automen (mencoder) use a totally different approach , isn't comparable

and.. audio track name is reported for mp4/mkv not for avi

@8eternity
it's for beta update

@CYBERSONIC
1) your "issue" isn't related to hdc
2) you are comparing two different avs script
3) you are compating two different encoding script
4) you are comparing two different encoder build, since automkv use a very outdated x264 build

then, if you want more bitrate, use a crf of 10
otherwise you can use the search function and will find that x264 preset are very different now from x264 automkv one's

BHH

I understand and used the search function, but could not find other words than CRF 18 producing transparent quality. Now I transcoded a move (High Fidelity) with HDConvertToX and Automkv
HdConvertoX with CRF 19: Bitrate 1900
AutoMKV with CRF 20: Bitrate 3900

How is a 720p movie with a bitrate of less than 2000 supposed to have good quality?
Of course I could change the CRF to 10, but wherever I look on the internet, it says that you usually use values of 18-22, which I am also used to. Also in HDConvertToX CRF 22 is used as a default value when I select x264 in MKV, so I don't think that the output is supposed to have a Bitrate less than 1500 for a normal movie?!

I understand that HDConvertToX is just a frontend and that also the tools changed their version in contrast to the ones used in AutoMKV, but I don't know where else I should find an answer to the issue I am describing. It just does not seem to produce the result it is supposed to with the settings I choose.:mad:

try using a faster preset with HDC

BHH

I was using extreme quality (before I also tried with slow). My guess was that the more I move the slider to the right, the slower it is but the better the quality is. So rather not effecting the average bitrate used, but how much time it uses to check where it uses how much bitrate.
A faster preset would not only make the process faster but also use a higher bitrate? Usually I'd expect faster to work fast (when I am in a hurry with encoding), but producing less good results?!
It is hard to believe that extreme quality is so optimized that it gives better result than other that use double the bitrate?!

I can try but then I don't really understand the connection of CRF, preset and bitrate used.

[feanor12]

Buzz, :thanks: for new full package!! :rolleyes:

[buzzqw]

@CYBERSONIC

a "faster" preset make quick choice and so use more the bitrate (on crf encoding)

@feanor12

thanks

[ravid394]

So I have been using HDC for a while, and recently I ran into a problem where the movie gets read in at 29 frames and then encodes at 29 frames, yet the movie starts as 1 hour 29 minutes and ends up at 1 hour 9 minutes and of course audio is out of sync the further into the movie you go. Any idea what setting I need to change?

[buzzqw]

Hi ravid394

please post your make report

BHH

[Mtz]

@Mtz

so.. for avi+mp3 it's already ok, from your reports..
just for xvid+ac3 could be some problem..isn't it ?

BHH

Yes, I hope so. If you can fix the ac3 muxing problem I'll make more tests with mp3. I have many players and I don't know which of them will have problems. I will unpack them for tests, but at least I need the AC3 problem fixed.

enjoy,
Mtz

So this one is xvid, I am currently running through a trial with H.264/MKV just to see if it is a xvid codec setting or something along those lines.

Have had many movies render this way, love HDC ( when it was working ) really liked autoMKV as well. Keep up the good work.

[Crono141]

Sorry for the long delay, Buzz. Got a new MB and everything is going haywire.

Here's Ripbot's logfile for my successful encode (audio in sync), where HDC introduced huge audio lag offset.

Buzz, Just updated to your new release, and I can't get it to properly analyze IFO source. Checked using same IFO's that worked in the previous release.

[whipdancer]

@buzz - thanks for the new package

I think I may be on to something with regard to the WMV problem.

When I just run the bat file command via a command line, I get an error about duration:

Warning: Encoder failed to retrieve duration attribute from source plug-in.

Trying alternate method now...
Source duration retrieved: 10 seconds.

This occurs if I run the following command (which is a shortened version the one created in the bat file):


cscript.exe "C:\HDC\applications\WMCmd.vbs" -input "C:\HDC\job1\hdconverttox_00004.avs" -output "C:\Users\Trent\Videos\gran_torino_2pass6ch.wmv"


If I add the parameters back in from the bat file, the duration message does not change (still gives 10 seconds).

So if run via a command window, this gives me the same message:


cscript.exe "C:\HDC\applications\WMCmd.vbs" -input "C:\HDC\job1\hdconverttox_00004.avs" -output "C:\Users\Trent\Videos\gran_torino_2pass6ch.wmv" -v_codec WVC1 -v_preset good -v_mode 3 -v_bitrate 9290880 -a_codec wmapro -a_mode 0 -a_setting 440_48_6_16


I've been searching the boards for information but so far haven't turned up anything. I realize that I'm in the minority here looking for WMV, but I really do appreciate the time and effort that's gone into HDC.

Thanks for any help or guidance with this.


EDIT:

Is playing the avs script via MPC still a valid test?

EDIT (again):

Turns out a WMV file is getting created. It's an error message -

LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\HDC\filters\SoundOut.dll" (C:\HDC\job2\hdconverttox_00004.avs, line 51)

BUzzqw I just had a question about softsharpen in the new version. If I select softsharpen I notice that in the script that softsharpen comes before QMF filters and free avs strings. So doing sharpening before noise removal which is more likely to amplify noise.

AviSynth Script ->
Working with files: C:\Rip\HDConvertToX_2.2.492.3692\analysis\hdconverttox_blue_oyster_cult-(dont_fear)_the_reaper-hyp3r-apv.avs
directshowsource("c:\rip\source video\blue_oyster_cult-(dont_fear)_the_reaper-hyp3r-apv.mpg",audio=false)
last = isRGB(last) ? ConvertToYV12(last) : last
last = isYUY2(last) ? ConvertToYV12(last) : last
Spline36Resize(352,304,6,0,-6,-0)
ColorMatrix(mode="Rec.709->Rec.601")
hqdn3d(1)
SoftSharpen(preset="film")
QMLF_3_motions()
-> End AviSynth Script

Could perhaps HDC enable/enforce that sharpening must come after noise removal.

Never really though about it before because I just use a free avs string like RemoveGrain(mode=17,modeU=5).asharp(1.5,3.25,-0.1), but notice that the update sort of enforces sharpening occurs first.

PS :thanks:Thanks for the new version, and the new Icon looks really good too.

[CYBERSONIC]

@CYBERSONIC

a "faster" preset make quick choice and so use more the bitrate (on crf encoding)


Okay, that means that quality should both times be at least the same, just the more I move the slider to the right, the less bitrate it needs to reach that quality?
Tried preset fast, it uses more bitrate, but still there is a huge difference:

HdConvertoX with CRF 19, Preset Extreme Quality: Bitrate 1900
HdConvertoX with CRF 19, Preset Fast: Bitrate 2300
AutoMKV with CRF 20: Bitrate 3900

It is still only using about 50% of the bitrate that AutoMKV used (keeping in mind that in this test the CRF for AutoMKV was higher).

[buzzqw]

please post job1.avs also
about ifo: i got no errors on ifo parsing

you must copy libsndfile-1.dll from application folder to your c:\windows\system32 folder

@flebber

i will check if possible

So what is the bitrate of the input file before encoding?

In this case about 9000.

LOL is it something that simple, thanks you ROCK

[paolo1983]

Hi buzz, just downloaded and trying right now the new version.
Thank you !

@paolo1983 @sunfish
i remember in autogk threads some similar problems.. many users got strange delay or intro into main movie after rip (regardless of ripping procedures)
usually the ripping application don't write correct timings in vobs, and eac3to when analyze it, were falsed by those timings
i precious suggestion given was to use dvdshrink (in no compression mode) to reauthor the already ripped dvd.
dvdshrink (or as paolo1983 done, rerip in movie only) will write correct timings and delay is a no go

handbrake/automen (mencoder) use a totally different approach , isn't comparable

Since this seems to be the fix for a quite common problem, maybe you could add a notice somewhere, in the manual or FAQs ...
Thank you again

[whipdancer]

@ravid394

Thanks - I'll try that as soon as I get home.

[buzzqw]

your video file has vc1 source... could you try with nvtools ? (if you have the license)

BHH

[Crono141]

Sorry, the avs is nowhere to be found.

Also, on IFO, analyze.avs reports error: "DirectShowSource: couldn't open file, No combination of filters could be found to render the stream", yet I can open the vob in MPC and it plays no problem, with FFDShow running and all.

Also, there is an Error.avs file, which eports: "Invalid arguments to function "isRGB" when played in MPC.

Edit: Nevermind. Somehow Haali got disabled. Fixed and working now.

[whipdancer]

BHH

@buzz - was this for me? If so, I don't have the license.

However, if it will speed things up, I will get one. If it will help with testing, I'll do that, too.

[whipdancer]

I copied libsndfile-1.dll to win32 directory (so it now resides in both places).

I'm getting an error with any attempt to encode to WMV.

Prepare to encode failed with error -1072886856 The input media format is invalid.

The error comes after the audio step is done. I've searched the boards and came across a couple of references that I tried (one involved DGIndex.ini and the other was a missing Haali splitter) - neither worked in this case.

Hopefully someone will point out something silly that I'm just missing.

@ SYBERSONIC

I have also seen that when i encodes form dvd sources bitrate is very low.
Only crop the black bars that i must go down to an crf value to 16-18 to geht acceptable Bitrates over 1100 :confused:

Alwayas encode anamorph so far.

Maybe it has something to do with mb-tree in x264 , so that the old rule crf 18-22 for good picture quality is obsolete?

[Sharc]

Well, the target should always be 'acceptable quality', not 'acceptable bitrate'.
mb-tree can compress stronger, means in tendency smaller filesize or lower bitrate for same visual quality. This means that you may end up with lower crf for same filesize (or same bitrate) - at better visual quality. You should obtain very good quality with mb-tree at crf 18 ...22 though. You have to decide for yourself which crf you are happy with.

Of course compression becomes better, but it is hard to believe that you should get the same quality with less than half the bitrate...

Hi Buzz!

I would like to know, i have an mkv file source is x264 25FPS and i would like to convert it in 720 23.976fps. Where can i set the setting. If my understanding is good, speed ajustement is only for audio and not video???

I talk about "Convert Audio to NTSC (23.976 fps)" is not convert the video. And last question, where can i put level to 4.0 at the place of 3.1 :thanks:

---EDIT----
I just found "Filters" De-Interlace Filters "FILM NTSC" that will be okay for 25 fps to 23.976 or i need to put "Change fps to 23.976"

Thanks for your time and great software.

@8ternity

you can use the "deinterlace" box and select changefps to 23.976 OR use in filter list srestoreXX
on audio you need to select the appropriate check

about annex level: you must edit the profile.txt, just added --level 4.0

Have you tried? Seeing is believing :). The quality and filesize (bitrate) depend strongly on the encoder settings, not only on the crf value. One cannot compare quality based on the crf value alone; such comparison would be only valid if all other encoder settings are kept the same. When you move the speed/quality slider in HDC the encoder settings change, see HDConvertToX_profile.txt.

speed quality slider change also resizer...

Hm, did another test, really odd:
HdConvertoX with CRF 19, Preset Extreme Quality: Bitrate 1900
HdConvertoX with CRF 19, Preset Fast: Bitrate 2300
HdConvertoX with CRF 19, Preset Very Fast: Bitrate 6400
AutoMKV with CRF 20: Bitrate 3900

I think I read that presets higher than fast have mb-tree disabled, could it be because of that? Still hard to believe that the three different HDC encodes should have similar quality, bitrate differences are soooo huge...

[Sharc]

Nothing wrong I would say. The fast presets use much simpler (hence 'faster') encoder settings, means lower compression, means the encoder needs to spend more bits to achieve a certain visual quality.
Moreover, crf is not a direct measure of quality. It just controls the encoder strategy of how/where to spend the bits most efficiently for best visual results in 1-pass encodes.
As I said, it's not so much a matter of what you believe, but of what you see when watching the movie. The quality does not only depend on the two numbers of 'crf' and 'bitrate'.

I think I read that presets higher than fast have mb-tree disabled, could it be because of that?
Yes, this has an impact as well, in addition to the other simpler settings for the fast presets.
Encoder presets and settings are found here (http://mewiki.project357.com/wiki/X264_Settings).
Applying different filters (e.g. smoothing / sharpening / noise related filters / crop / resize) to the source would also influence the bitrate significantly.
