FFCoder v2.2

[ricardo.santos]

hi

thanks for the update but i can't convert to webm, tried 3 times with different files and settings, can you help? here's the log:

http://paste2.org/p/1277774

[teejee2008]

@ricardo.santos

FFmpeg exits with the following message:
"Invalid data found when processing input"

The issue is with the input file. Can you upload it somewhere? I'll take a look.

@JeremyWW

On the audio filters window, set the channel preset to 'Custom' and the number of channels to 'Auto'. The input file has 6 channel audio. FFmpeg is unable to convert it to 2 channels.

Don't know whether you saw my e-mail - that made no difference. Still fails almost immediately - zero byte mpg file created.

[teejee2008]

Please post the log again. This time its failing for some other reason.

Hi teejee, great program. Can you disable compression for mkvmerge by default ?

Thanks.

@eyudnn

Download the update.

[eyudnn]

teejee, thanks for the quick turnaround. Would it be possible for an enhancement where I can queue another job while encoding is going on ? The new job can be paused.

Thanks.

[teejee2008]

@eyudnn

yes it possible. I'll add it in the next update.

[JeremyWW]

Please post the log again. This time its failing for some other reason.

Seems like it won't re-sample the 6 channel audio:

i just done a convert for my ipod & this is a fantastic program! it plays fine on my ipod great quality and sound,I've been trying to look for a program that will convert videos for my ipod now i finally found it & i get to pick the file size many thanks :)

[teejee2008]

Seems like it won't re-sample the 6 channel audio:


Try encoding with MEncoder. Select 'MEncoder' from the Encoder menu and set the file format to 'MPEG-PS'. Set the channels to 2 in the Audio Filters window. It should work.

[teejee2008]

@rko2164
I'm glad you found it useful :)

[JeremyWW]

The Sony Bravia TV mpeg2 preset appears to be incorrect. It's selecting *.mp4 format and the x264 codec.

[JeremyWW]

MP4 movie above converts fine and has an original FPS of 23.976. Framerate preset is set to 'No Change'. Next movie, also MP4, fails with the log below. I managed to 'force' it to convert by setting the Framerate to 'DVD-NTSC'! Apart from the fact that 23.976 is the NTSC framerate -the same - why did the default work with one and not with the other?

@JeremyWW

For some reason, MEncoder is unable to encode input files with a fractional framerate when the output framerate is not set. I tried converting multiple files with framerates 23.97, 29.97, etc. All are failing. Only 25 fps files converts fine. I am seeing this issue with MEncoder for the first time. For the time being, set the output framerate manually. If the input file is 23.97 then set the output framerate to 23.97 or (24000/1001).

[teejee2008]

yes it's incorrect! Thanks for reporting it.

[JeremyWW]

I have to give up for the moment - unless you have any ideas: I have converted another MP4 which appeared to convert successfully - so no error log. However when I try to play the resulting .mpg file in WMP and VLC it freezes a few seconds in. Using another converter there was no problem. I don't get this one, other than we seem to have some sort of generic .mpg issue here.

EDIT: I persevered...after spending hours trawling the web for alternatives / info, I downloaded Avidemux and loaded the offending .mp4 file into it. I got a message straight back saying something about 'B-Frames' causing a problem with "crashing and stuttering"! So, I dimly remembered an option in 'Video' - 'Config' in FFCoder for 'B-Frames' and gave it a try. I have absolutely no idea what 'B-Frames' are but putting a tick in that box is enabling the video to convert as I write this. I'm able to play it back with VLC as it's converting and it plays smoothly. So, I have some sort of answer but no idea why! Can you pull this apart teejee?

[teejee2008]

@JeremyWW

Unless you can upload the MP4 file somewhere, I don't think I can help you. I tried converting a bunch of MP4 files to MPG to try and replicate the problem, but I was unsuccessful. The MP4 video you are converting contains BFrames, but it shouldn't lead to the problems that you are describing.

Send me the log file anyway. It may contain some useful info. Also send me the source.txt file from the Temp folder. (Right-click on the file in the progress window and click on "Open Temp Folder")

[verydoomed]

Can FFcoder except frameserved files?
I use debugmode plugin with SonyVegas and frame serve out an avi signpost file
I then make an avisynth script to point to this file
I then try and open the avisynth script with FFcoder so that I can encode the file with h264 but it doesnt work.
I can easily load the .avs file with Virtual Dub but would like to use FFcoder. Before I waste my time fiddling can anyone tell me if it's even possilbe?

[mysoogal]

to the developer of FFCODER, please add more presets

check my post here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095&page=157

or look into winFF presets, its the most complete ffmpeg presets ever it is very full

thanks for the FFCODER

Just wanted to ask if ASS subtitles can be embed or placed inside a mkv file (haven't managed to do it yet ) or do I have to convert them to srt. Downscaling a file and I just want to keep everything else.

And if the answer is no then what container should I use to insert in any way the ass subs.

p.s.: want to use x264 codec

[teejee2008]

@xdaft
It is possible to embed ASS subs in MKV files, but I have not yet added support for it. Currently only SRT subs are supported. I'll add it in the next update.

[xdaft]

Thank you :) It is not like I cannot convert ASS to SRT but I just wanted to know if it is possible in FFCoder.

[boot2k3]

Good program:thanks:, but how about video files with multiple audio tracks? If I encode file with multiple audio tracks with option "Copy audio" it just copy only one audio track.

[Neillithan]

@teejee2008

Hi. FFCoder is a great program, I have used it in the past and had varying success.

I noticed that when I pause a conversion process and then start it again, it causes the details to show an incorrect ETA and FPS. When I first started the conversion, ETA was around 1 hour and the FPS was ~18. Upon continuing the conversion, the FPS is now 3 and the ETA showed 8 hours and is decreasing rapidly. It's still converting fast because the Status percentage is rising at a consistent rate.

It would be cool if the detailed information did not show incorrect FPS and ETA after pausing the conversion for a length of time.

Also, I have a somewhat unheard of and possibly difficult to implement feature request. I find that pausing a conversion process has its benefits, but it doesn't necessarily free up the ram that is in use. While I have 8 gigs of memory, certain people may benefit from not having 1gig of memory tied up for the duration of the paused conversion.

Which leads me to the feature request: Can it be possible to save the conversation state to disk and continue at a later date? Sometimes I need to reboot my computer or I need to use it for some other purpose... a video conversion can take many hours depending on the video(s).

Thanks and let me know what you think,
-Neil

[teejee2008]

@boot2k3

Its already on my To-Do list but its low-priority. Adding support for multiple audio tracks will not be very easy since I will have to make a lot of changes - both in the GUI and in the back-end code.

[teejee2008]

@Neillithan

The ETA and FPS values are not calculated by FFCoder. It is directly picked up from the console output of the encoding program (ffmpeg.exe, x264.exe, etc). As a result the reported values will become incorrect if you pause it for long time. Nothing can be done about it.

The second feature is almost impossible to implement. In order to do this I will need a utility that can pause a process, save the process state to disk, and restart the process at a later date using the saved data. Such utilities exist for linux (http://cryopid.berlios.de/) but currently there are no such tools for windows.

[teejee2008]

The next version (v1.2) will be out on 1st May

[teejee2008]

Next version (v1.2) will be out on 15th May

Highlights:

Changes since v1.1.0.5

[New]
Option for encoding multiple input files into a single output file (Use the 'Add Combined' option in the File menu)
New window for trimming audio/video files. You seek to the nearest scene-change, and multiple segments can be selected for encoding.
Added MPUI (an MPlayer frontend) as the default audio/video player. Removed all other players in order to reduce the size of the download package.
New tool for correcting timestamps in SRT files. It will add a delay to the SRT file by modifying the timestamps.
Better support for DVD ripping (Use the 'Add DVD' option in the File menu). You can add multiple VOB files and they will be combined into a single output file. Indexing will be done using DGIndex.
Installer: Option for installing Avisynth
Installer: Option for deleting settings from previous version
Installer: Option for downloading NeroAAC codec
Avisynth: The source filter for opening the input file will be inserted automatically. It cannot be selected/modified by the user.

[Fixes]
The performance counter throws an exception when encoding begins.
Adding FLAC files to the input list throws an error.
The video preview was not displayed in the crop window on some XP systems.
FFIndex files were not deleted on application exit even if the option is selected in the Options->Preferences window. Please note that FFCoder will remove only those ffindex files which it creates. Existing ffindex files will have to be removed manually.
The GUI sometimes hangs while indexing the input file. This will not happen anymore.
Setting the aspect ratio had no effect when ffmpeg was used as encoder. This issue has been fixed in the latest ffmpeg version.

[Updates]
Updated MPlayer to r33216
Updated FFMS2 to FFMS2-mt-r464
Updated FFmpeg to git-g3c20c0e (05/24/2011)

I really like the layout of the gui and the amount of options is great. Just one thing how do you resolve missing dependencies for FF coder.

When I went Help -> Dependencies it showed me faac and nero aac were missing but didn't allow me to input a path to the files. how do I update these file dependencies?

[teejee2008]

@flebber

Copy the EXE files for FAAC and NerAAC to the location where you installed FFCoder (C:\Program Files\FFCoder).
You can place the files in the BIN folder or directly in the application folder.
The files will be detected on start-up.

[StainlessS]

Clean & easy layout, nothing to confuse, and a supplied PDF
manual (that is really appreciated, although looks like I shall never
have to read it). Looks like I have a new preferred GUI .
Nice job.

FFCoder v1.2.0.5 Update (7z - 500 KB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?s30iqgq0glkb0fh)

Changes since v1.2.0.0
-------------------------------
Fixed: On 64-bit XP/Vista/Win7, FFCoder exits with an error as soon as encoding begins*
Fixed: Encoding MTS files with x264 can cause stuttering and interlacing lines**
Fixed: The Play/Pause button in the Trim window doesn't work with some file types
Fixed minor issues in the Trim and Crop windows

Notes:
-------------------------------
* FFCoder should now be usable on 64-bit XP/Vista/Win7
** Issue seems to be with the libavcodec/ffms2 decoder used by x264.exe. It cannot handle MTS files properly. Issue is partially fixed by decoding the video with FFmpeg and piping it to x264. Using the Avisynth mode will still cause problems. In the next version of FFCoder, DGAVCSource will be used (instead of FFmpegSource) for opening MTS/AVC files.

Thanks for the great software !

[anegroo]

Hi!

Thanks for this really great software !
I have some audio related problem. Encoding the video to mp4 or avi, both with neroaaenc (mp4) and lame (mp3) in the normal sound appears in a regular pattern a strange noise like this (http://www.mediafire.com/?gd0t7smoq6c95h2). However in ape format for example everything is Ok. What could be the problem?
My OS is Win XP 32, SP3.

Thanks

Any reason why ESET would detect proc_manager as a bad file?

Also i get this

Updated to the latest version btw

Any reason why ESET would detect proc_manager as a bad file?

I'm fairly sure that ESET did not use the description "bad file",
might be more helpful in future to tell what it does say.

Judging purely by the name, it is a Process Manager,
(like eg Task Manager) which allows processes to be viewed and KILLED etc.

It is the likes of the Killing part that will be upsetting ESET, could
be included in a suite of dodgy stuff used by malware, it however
could also have useful purpose, Task Manager is not malware but
does pretty much the same thing.
No idea why FFCoder user this process manager, perhaps to
kill a runaway process that is not responding, or perhaps to
change the priority of a process so that it does not hog the CPU.

Anyway, have submitted the file to "VirusTotal.com" where
it was scanned by 42 anti-malware scanners, 4 of which had this
to say:-

DrWeb Tool.Killproc.3
NOD32 Win32/PrcView
nProtect Abuse-Worry/W32.PrcViewer.53248
TheHacker Aplicacion/Processor.20


They all look like there are just saying that it is a process
manager which is of course fairly obvious from the name alone.

Nothing to be concerned about. :)

EDIT: Nice picture, wonder what it is? Might be useful to elaborate.

[Mr901]

All of my post didnt go thru or i clicked away.
edit
When i try and encode with AVIsinth checked i add these
http://bigpichost.com/files/capture_z9pr1qm3.png

default settings it works, select what i need and i get a 2mb file and that type of video

sorry


EDIT: I dont get it on the portable version tho.

Is there a way to update the portable? i tried running the updater and it said it wasnt found.

EDIT: Okay even if i dont select any options on avisyth, but when its checked it doesnt work, i deselected everything including deinterlacing and it messes up

[StainlessS]

@Mr901,

"Is there a way to update the portable? "

I dont have the self install version. Suggest that you download and extract
the contents of the portable update. Replace the plugins/avss.dll
to the same place in the portable's directory and
same for the FFCoder.exe file.

Is it possible to define a custom temp folder somewhere... not in the user directory?

Got a user name with a space in the middle and I GUESS (!) that this is the problem
why mp4box keeps giving me: "Requested URL is not valid or cannot be found".

[teejee2008]

@pihug12

WMV 2-pass encoding issue will be fixed in the next update

[teejee2008]

@katzenjoghurt

I don't think that is the issue. Please send me the error report (Right-click on the file in the progress window after it fails and select the 'Create Report' option).
I'll be putting an option for setting the path to the Temp folder in the next update.

[teejee2008]

@Mr901

proc_manager.exe is safe (as explained by StainlessS, Website -> //www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm)

What was that image??!!

[teejee2008]

FFCoder v1.2.0.6 Beta

FFCoder v1.2.0.6 Update (Installer - 500 KB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?ogknehnpqg9p4lp)
FFCoder v1.2.0.6 Update (7z - 500 KB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?3h3174s2u39fql8)

Changes since v1.2.0.5

Added: Option for selecting Temp folder location
Fixed: The 'Preview' option in the Trim window was not working correctly
Fixed: Encoding with x264 without setting the output frame rate, resulted in the output videos having a frame rate of 25fps
Fixed: 2-pass encoding with FFmpeg fails
The 'Create Error Report' option in the progress window will be enabled even if the file was successfully encoded. Use this option when reporting problems with the output file (such as stuttering, bad quality, etc)
