Ok, just download the .exe from the first post and you'll have 1920x800 and 1280x544 in the drop-down resize.

Yes, it will work - I never thought there will be such strange resolutions+AR :) I tested it and it works fine with 960x544 to uncropped 1280x720.

Awesome! It is working great. You are fast to the point. Wonder if it is possible to enter the height at will then it can cover all possible aspect ratios like 2.40:1 etc. Just a thought. Thanks again.

First of all let me thank you for all your hard work! You did some amazing tools! :thanks:
I'm following the creation of your tools from the beginning and if i'm allowed i would want to request that you add a simple option and make a second pass on encoding possible. I know that you prefer speed over quality on this tool (that is the intended anyway) but it would be amazing if you could add that simple option for the people (like myself) that would like to preserve the most possible quality of the original file. The default option should remain one pass, but if you could add an option for a second pass on encoding that would be great. Thanks in advance! ;)

Yes, I'll add a tab next to Stream list and Queue with x264 options for more experienced users. Just need more time, because other tools (as multiAVCHD) needed more attention last week.

Hi,
Great product by the way!!!!

I have a movie - 1920x816 - which will not uncrop. Creates a very small file and does it quickly.

If I choose resize: 1280x544, the program works.

Any ideas why at 1920x816 it will not work?

I did download the complete 4mb package BTW.

Thanks,
Gary

Did you try with other 1920x.... videos? There is no reason for what's happening... And I can see that x264 works for about an hour... How does the final -uncropped.mkv look like?

gcrutcher

17th April 2009, 11:54

Hi,

Other 1920 x 1080p movies have been okay.

When I played the video after uncropMKV there was no video.
The file mkv file size was a little larger than DTS audio file.

What I had to do was resize to 1280 x 720. That worked fine.
Took about 3 hours to complete.

I also tried on a windows pc with the same result. All files are uncropped with the setting from the last file in queue.

I also have the same problem. Choosing the resize option without (No Change) as advised by deank fixed it for me.

Not for me. I still have to uncrop one by one. :confused:

is uncropMKV available for download anywhere but rapidshare? I can't download from there. From rapidshare I get
"You have reached the download limit for free-users. Would you like more?"
which is an issue with my ISP, and there is nothing I can do about that.

VideoHelp updates regularly my tools: here (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/multiAVCHD). It is better to download the latest multiAVCHD. It contains uncropMKV.

It should be used by mkvmerge to create a mkv file... don't you have an -uncropped.mkv in the output folder?

if not - use tsmuxer or mkvgui and add this .264 file.. add audio and you're done.

Do you have the full download and mkvmerge in \tools folder?

I've downloaded the full package and started from the beginning. I cant use mkvmerge because i stream the file, and the audio i had was of the original file.

19th April 2009, 19:04

Deak, it worked, a clean install and solved the problem. Only problem was thar FFdshow "burned" the subtitles...

Yes, you need to disable all pre/post processing in ffdshow...

Just start your movie and right-click on the ffdshow icon and click on subtitles to disable the plugin... them run uncropmkv and it won't show them.

Yes, i know how to do it, didn't remember that, so i'm making ir again.

One other question, i have a problem, after i put the files in AVCHD format normaly they "grow" and will not fit in a DVD5 or DVD9 like the original MKV. How can i calculate the bitrate for the resulting file?

deank

20th April 2009, 08:01

uncropMKV usually creates a bit smaller MKV that after converting to m2ts fits... It depends on your audio but usual overhead is about 7%. RipBot can help you with bitrate calculation.

I too am getting an .264 file and also the uncropped .mkv but its very small ..
388,341 movie.mkv
5,005,056,235 movie.264

I tried tsmuxer with both files but the output was unplayable?

21st April 2009, 20:49

Run it again and watch what's going on... There may be x264 exception error and it stops encoding... may be you didn't download the full package... may be your PC is too weak and you don't have enough memory.

E8400 with 4Gb Ram running Win7 x64.
Did download full package

Progress of sorts. Tried it on another .mkv movie and got:

6,710,532,196 movieX.mkv
5,226,904,567 movieX.264

Ran the cropped .mkv and it works and looks/sounds great.
I then ran tsmuxer 1.9.9 to output avchd folders. But when I play the movie its now in 4:3 aspect and theres no sound!??

uncropMKV.log is generated in exe-path if you use the checkbox in settings. During x264/mkvmerge execution - nothing will be shown on screen.

Download the .exe only from the first post.

Deank,

I would just like to say that this collection of programs have made my life a whole lot easier.

I DO HAVE A PROBLEM THOUGH

When I am using uncropMKV I never mess with any settings at all, just leave them at default.

So lets say I load a 1280x558 into uncropo and hit cue, then I add say a 1280x566 and cue that, then I press start.

I always end up with one MKV file that has uncropped correctly (to the default 720p) and the other seems to come out wrong like 1280x722 or 1280x718 etc.

Is there any reason for this because the batch uncrop feature is definately a plus but doesnt seem to work when I use the batch method. Single FIles ALWAYS come out perfect?

THanks in advance

deank

22nd April 2009, 10:28

There was a bug in uncropMKV really.

It is fixed now, so download version 0.7 (first post is updated with both full and .exe only).

I use the Elecard AVC HD player and play the m2ts directly.

Whats another m2ts/avchd player I can try with?
i didn't burn it because I've been making a lot of coasters so far ....

Weird ... I download BS player which works with avch.
It played just the audio so I burned it and it works on my BDP-S550.
So I did the same with the other movie but this time BS Player played the video as well as sound. Burned it and its working too!

sweet .... thx for your help

What avchd/m2ts player are others using?

i have a problem with a cropping of a video.. i have this video with resolution of 1904 x 800 (i attach the avinaptic report) that i need to see on a playstation 3 with avchd..because the resolution itìs not standard i try to uncrop it with uncropmkv with all the combinations, but when i click to start everytime the conversion windows appears and close itself immediatly and give me done after less than one second! obviously he don't finish the work..but it only create a file video.264 empty.. what i can do?

deank

25th April 2009, 19:04

Have you had successful re-encodings with uncoprMKV before?

Try to download the complete setup from the fist page. This resolution shouldn't be a problem for uncropMKV.

yes i successful reencode before..and i download the complete setup..same result..doesn't work

no.. i can't see the preview...this is the log file (is the .log file in the uncropmkv directory right?)

If you load another mkv - do you see the preview? There is something wrong and avisynth doesn't parse proper frames to x264.

no with unother video i can see the preview..it's not the first time i use uncropmkv and your programs and reencoding with uncropmkv i never had problems..
