@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!

I found a small problem when using Double Pass IVTC. If you look at the 2nd line of the queue you will see C:\Program Files (x86)\HDConvertToX\applications\x264.exe doesn't have quotes around it and it causes the encode to fail. If I add quotes everything works fine.

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

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

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"?

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

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:

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

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

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

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.

-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 :)

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

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?

Demuxing this track may still produce correct results - or not. <WARNING>

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?

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

27th May 2010, 08:27

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

27th May 2010, 11:10

because hdc don't use mkvextract (till)

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.

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...

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 :)

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.

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.

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?

28th May 2010, 12:31

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??
