@gibbyman

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

@OLP

1) :) :goodpost:
2) thanks for this info!
3) yes, just read from stdout
4) ???
5).. :confused: ask Mosu ?

bdsup.. : just a leftover.. it will throw an error. but nothing more :)

BHH

[OLP]

found the error with bdsup

your produced commandline has a misspelling

yours:
java -jar "C:\Users\oliver\Downloads\HDConvertToX_2.5.624.4217\applications\BDSup2Sub.jar" "G:\HD-Temp\job1\hdencodertox__subs_5.sup" "G:\HD-Temp\job1\hdencodertox__subs_5.idx" /res:pal


should be:
java -jar "C:\Users\oliver\Downloads\HDConvertToX_2.5.624.4217\applications\BDSup2Sub.jar" "G:\HD-Temp\job1\hdencodertox__subs_5.sub" "G:\HD-Temp\job1\hdencodertox__subs_5.idx" /res:pal

[OLP]

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

[buzzqw]

@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 ;)

Ok, I might just head over to the avc forum and write something there...

Thanks for your quick reply!

@buzzwq

may i ask what profile (from the profile-file in the app-folder) do you use for converting to x264/mkv from a blueray?

[buzzqw]

for the brave and the boulder here the first HDC with support for WebM!

download this package: http://www.64k.it/andres/data/hdconverttox/hdc_webm.zip

put ivfenc.exe in \application folder (NIC modded version with avs support)
add hdconverttox_profile in hdc folder

NOTE: muxing in mkv isn't working , mkvmerge bundled with hdc don't support it

I am uing WebM in IVF profile...also trying another encode with WbM in mkv.

If I choose 1 pass const quality in either Webm IVF or MKV profile encoding fails however doing a webm encode with 1 pass abr works.

encoding appears to working with 1 pass abr but i cannot see a muxed final output file.

This is the make report for WebM IVF 1 pass abr.

you cannot use decimal value for quality. only integer

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

Thanks

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.

Awesomw will it be included when you release a new update :)

[buzzqw]

@Brilliant

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
ideally output file name should be ever compiled.. but i am the first that never compile it

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

@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. :)

[buzzqw]

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.

personally i would just prefer simple option of editing ini file and specifying persistent directory as i always output to same directory :)

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.

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

@Sharc

does the standard analysis work ?
also.. try open the deitnerlace script in virtualdub

got errors ?

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 Telecined Sections: 4 0.22%
Found Zero Mov: 99.12% 1804
Found One Mov: 0.33% 6
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 Progressive Sections:1691 99.18%

Found Two Mov: 0.23% 4
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.

C:\Rip\Source\FullDisc\THE_SHIELD_S1_D2\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0.IFO

Created by DVD Fab using full disc option.


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.

Succesful webm mediainfo encode

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

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

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

:) glad it worked!

thanks for your test
