@Theopolis

Are you using the latest update. that issue was noted a while ago and i thought Buzzqw had released a fix for it. I haven't had that error in a while.

Flebber,

I am using version 3.0.691.4632
Thank you for your tip. I did not notice the last update.
I update now to version 3.0.694.4644

Flebber,

This update unfortunately doesn't fix this issue.

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.

Yes I did.
Unfortunately no difference

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.

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) :/
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
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

Hi again - anyone have any thoughts on why audio and video are out-of-sync when I use hdconverttox?

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'.

[Sharc]

@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.

[Ozool]

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.

.... 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

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.

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

This post is in regards to help with using Avisynth MT with HDConvertToX.

Specs:
- Win 7 64bit
- 32 + 64 bit K-Lite codec pack (Configured properly)
- Latest build HDConvertToX 3.0.691

I have put the reqired .dlls in the Syswow64 folder and the sys32 folder.

When I select "use Multithreaded Avisynth" with the default 2,0 option, and start the encode, I get the fallowing error: the

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%
Found Telecined Sections: 652 28.25%
Found Zero Mov: 24.91% 575
Found One Mov: 14.99% 346
Found Two Mov: 28.25% 652
Found Three Mov: 20.10% 464
Found Four Mov: 3.73% 86
Found Five Comb: 8.02% 185
(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.

[MrVideo]

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.
