HDConvertToX v. 3.0 (14/10/2010)

[Adub]

Not really. If you ever use PCM, it's freakin huge!! And any device that supports PCM also supports either AC3 or AAC or both, so you always have an option available to you.

(Sorry I've been away so long, Uni was kicking me up, down, and sideways.)

Is it possible for you to add support to use 32 bit Avisynth with 64 bit x264 on HDC?

[buzzqw]

for this kind ofr support hdc will need to process avs with avs2yuv before feeding x264...

probably not

BHH

[Chengbin]

for this kind ofr support hdc will need to process avs with avs2yuv before feeding x264...

Is that bad?

AFAIK it is just simply entering a line to add avs2yuv to bridge it to x264.

[valnar]

I noticed that when I set the "final size" in the video encoding options, it always comes out higher. Does the program account for the audio in the calculation?

[buzzqw]

Is that bad?
is x264 at 64bit needed ?

usually yes.. but.. a make report is easier to understund

Permission to host HDConvertToX on x264.nl?
If granted, ill host it during next week, my isp is using 2 cans and a thin wire now! Administration errors ftw!

[buzzqw]

@bob0r

permission granted! and :thanks:

I can suggest to host the "full" package and just link the update to http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/HDConvertToX.exe

thanks again

[Laffer]

Buzzqw,
What an awesome bit of software - keep up the great work :)

Have not really 'pushed' it yet........ But what I see so far, I really like!

Don't want to upset anyone, but makes megui look & feel ancient. I was not happy when Gordian Knot development was halted. This is the true successor to that very easy to use package.

Well done again - I will be donating soon :thanks:

Laffer.

[Chengbin]

is x264 at 64bit needed ?

Yes.

Is it still bad?

I agree :) . Probably the only feature limitation I can think off (and megui doesn't do this either) is to batch encoding. Being able to select 10 files at once and add to queue. This is probably something where staxrip is unique it does batch encoding well.

[buzzqw]

@Chegbin

update HDC, and check advanced options

@Laffer

thanks for your kind words!

@flebber

are you sure HDC don't have this features :p ?

Just curious about the way I can use a custom x264 commandline with this tool.

If the source is 1280x720 at 50fps AVCHD (a weird output option from Panasonic's new camera-line) I noticed a lot of ugly blocks when I convert MTS to MP4 using;

x264.exe --threads auto --thread-input --crf 18 --keyint 500 --min-keyint 50 --sar 1:1 --level 4.1 --no-cabac --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --deblock -1:-1 --subme 8 --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --nr 100 --ref 4 --bframes 3 --weightb --direct auto --me umh --output "%%~na.h264" "%%a"

What would be smart to use for 720p to just convert near-lossless using x264 when encoding time is not an issue? I was thinking about maybe adding --merange 20 because it's HD, and deblock -2?

something like:

x264.exe --threads auto --thread-input --crf 17 --keyint 500 --min-keyint 50 --sar 1:1 --level 4.1 --no-cabac --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --deblock -2:-2 --subme 9 --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --nr 100 --ref 4 --bframes 3 --weightb --direct auto --me umh --merange 20 --rc-lookahead 60 --output "%%~na.h264" "%%a"

[buzzqw]

editing HDC profile is very easy
remember you just have to add the options to txt, you should not add bitrate (or crf) and pass parameters

so this

x264.exe --threads auto --thread-input --crf 17 --keyint 500 --min-keyint 50 --sar 1:1 --level 4.1 --no-cabac --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --filter -2,-1 --deblock -2:-2 --subme 9 --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --nr 100 --ref 4 --bframes 3 --weightb --direct auto --me umh --merange 20 --rc-lookahead 60 --output "%%~na.h264" "%%a"

to this

X264;11;Jult;--keyint 500 --min-keyint 50 --level 4.1 --no-cabac --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --filter -2,-1 --deblock -2:-2 --subme 9 --trellis 2 --no-dct-decimate --no-fast-pskip --nr 100 --ref 4 --bframes 3 --weightb --direct auto --me umh --merange 20 --rc-lookahead 60

just add this line after the 10' preset

[Forteen88]

--filter -2,-1 --deblock -2:-2--filter and --deblock is the same thing in x264, so the filter-parameter is redundant.

[jult]

If you're getting ugly blocks at CRF 18, you should look into ensuring that your source isn't the problem.And I did already check that, the source (.MTS) looks perfect to me, no blocks anywhere.. Could the framerate be an issue perhaps? 50fps is rather high.

I can upload a source fragment if you like? (just not now, since I'm not where the MTS files are..)

I agree. I loved Gordian Knot for my XVID encodes. This program, along with AutoMKV which was buzzqw's previous effort, are the best around. But I still liked the AutoMKV interface better. :)

BHH:
Could you explain the checkbox for "x264 64-bit". I replaced the 32bit version and the checkbox never enables. Is there an INI file switch or some other check?

[jackkoho]

This happens with several movies. Below is an example of one VC-1 in m2ts package. One thing I have noticed is that no matter what audio track you select it doesn't change the audio track that you hear in the "preview" even though the tooltip says that the preview will play the selected audio track. In the example below I have selected english and I get french in the preview and in the final encoded movie. If I select another track I still hear french in the preview.

@flebber

are you sure HDC don't have this features :p ?

BHH

Have you recently added it? Cheers if you have :thanks: that was a feature I really wanted. I have been so busy lately ( I have two kids aged under 1 now) I may have missed it.

One thing I notice at the moment though is if I have several presets I have added to HDConverTox_profiles eg see below. I then create a basic ini (see below). then close HDC reopen and attempt to load saved settings HDC cannot open basic ini correctly. It doesn't seem to load the extra profiles I have added. So if I want to fix this I need to refresh the x264 profile choices by selecting it from the drop down menu again. Then all profiles are available to select, however this has a side effect of changing default audio settings from vbr 0.4 original channels to 0.2 stereo nero aac. Is there a way around this?

Could you explain the checkbox for "x264 64-bit". I replaced the 32bit version and the checkbox never enables. Is there an INI file switch or some other check?

as tooltip say you need to put x264-64bit.exe and avs2yuv.exe in \applications folder
you should not rename x264.exe BUT put the x264-64bit.exe and avs2yuv.exe in this folder
HDC at launch will check if this file is present and then allow check

This happens with several movies. Below is an example of one VC-1 in m2ts package. One thing I have noticed is that no matter what audio track you select it doesn't change the audio track that you hear in the "preview" even though the tooltip says that the preview will play the selected audio track.

the tooltip say "Select the audio to encode. You can hit the Preview button to see and ear the audio (first track)"
not the one selected but the first.

sorry for the misunderstanding.

I still have this problem with several movies, of it selecting the wrong language track. For instance in the example above I select english and I get french. If I select french, I still get french. If I select spanish, I get spanish. If I select NONE, I get none. There is nothing I can select that will give me english, even though it is an english blu ray.

[buzzqw]

from your previus make report i see that english track is reported as third audio track (by eac3to)

I tried the HDConverttoX to encode an AVC .ts file (dvb) into x264 mkv. I chose to save the file as 12.mkv entered all desired settings and options about video and audio and pressed generate encoding. It started with audio encoding and eac3 and then did the video encoding. ANyway in the end I try to find the mkv file where I chose it to be stored and the file is nowhere.
I use the 2.1.458.3528 version. I have Win XP Pro Sp3 32 bit...
I go into the job folder and see a few log files. Should I post any of it here?

Edit: I see these two files x264_2pass.log.temp and x264_2pass.log.mbtree.temp. Does that mean that the log is temp because encoding never ended?

[buzzqw]

the make report (in advanced options/utilities) could help

you can also open the movie.avs in virtualdub and check for errors

BHH

[w4tt4n4b3]

Thank you, mate.
Actually there is an error in the original file but that did not prevent other guis to encode it. But I mention it just in case...
HDconvertToX found an audio gap of 407ms at a certain point...
And also in the first attempt I saw in the audio log that neroaac did not work and in the next attempt I asked to convert the ac3 384 of the source file into ac3 192...
I will analyze the file and press the make report...

[buzzqw]

Edit: I see these two files x264_2pass.log.temp and x264_2pass.log.mbtree.temp. Does that mean that the log is temp because encoding never ended?

that's mean that encoding is working..
have you enough free disk space ?

Any idea on the following:

delete the load soundout.dll from movie.avs and reopen the script

BHH

The video plays fine with no sound though but I guess this must be logical if the avs script has only video source and not audio, right?
So in order for the encoding to be successful I have to erase each time from the avs script the load soundout.dll?

absolutly NO.
the encoding is working on your pc. i can only guess x264 is crashed and so no final file is available
the encoding has started since you got already partial file
i can only guess a problem of decoding or disk space (try with Force DirectShowSource)

hdc is an encoder, not a NLE. You cannot merge video streams with it.

I have had exactly the same problem.
I went to a sight to download a 64 bit version of x264, and I installed in the application folder and I got the same error as you.
So I went to a different sight to download the 64 bit x264 and installed that and it worked.
The one that did work is 1.04Mb in size
The one that didnt work was 1.3Mb
Using Win7 x64

Thx Mate,
Was & still am using the 1.3mb version..
On re-checking the file name it was x264, not x264-64bit
As soon as it was renamed, all sweet - Can activate ok.

Thx buzzqw also...

Hi All!

First of all I'd like to send my thanks to buzzqw for his excellent work. I've been reading this forum on and off for the past years, and previously tried the AutoMKV which I liked a lot.

Anyway - I'm sorry if this has been up already (I'm currently reading page 61 in this thread) but I'd like to ask if anyone else is having problems with audio & subtitle details not being "purged" between files when creating a queue?

Here's what happens when I try to re-encode some movies for my netbook (Bricked my bluray drive in a bad FW upgrade a few weeks ago and waiting for help on that):

1. I open a movie (mkv) and click analyze. I make my preferred settings, choose the destination and click "add to queue".
2. I open a new movie and click analyze (answering "no" on the assume previous...). clicking the tab "audio and subs selection" then reveals that this new file has the exact same properties (same number of audio tracks, same number of subtitles) even though I know it really doesn't.

Somehow it seems like these details doesn't get "cleaned" away between files.

Has this been up already?
Could it be something with Windows 7?

I'm using Windows 7 x64 with a HDC version updated two days ago (at work right now so I can't check the version number)


Thanks in advance..

Hi gibbyman and Welcome to the Forum

maybe due to protection of win7, unable to delete "eac3toinfo.log" (where is stored file information)

please move HDC to an "unprotected path" like c:\HDC

Good idea, I'll try that when I get home.
(and thank you for a quick reply)

Which of the components used is it that is responsible for deleting this log? Maybe I can change permission to run it as administrator or something if moving it doesn't work...


Off topic:

I'm starting to regret this thing with buying Windows 7. I know it's new and things will probably get better, but so far it caused more issues for me than the gain.

To get some stuff to work I've had to go into the settings for involved components and choose to run most (all? -Don't remember now) as administrator, and some of them I've also changed to Win XP SP3 compatibility mode.
My Media Player Classic Home Cinema (x64 version) refuses to recognize coreAVC, directvobsub and my AC3 filter as "registered" Other versions of Media Player Classic HC won't show external subs, and so on...

How are you guys running Windows 7 handling things in general?
Sorry for going a bit off topic, but many of these things are also "on topic" and should concern more and more people later on...

[buzzqw]

it's HDC that delete the log.. but hdc don't need to be run as admin.. ( i use win7 too for developing)

Win7 is a good OS (well it's a Microsoft OS.. ) just need to be "tuned"

first off all don't use mpc-hc at 64bit
just use the 32bit version, and you will be able to use coreavc, directvob sub..

my usually applications just run fine..

maybe it's better to deactivate or lower the UAC value...
