Hybrid: Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[alter4]

Yes the recent version.
Did the reset, but doest help.
Still the same. If I open VOB directly it works, but if "DVD input " check it doesnt work.

Oh man! I just find the DVD for what "passthrough all" works. It is marriage DVD and muxed in quite simple manner, simple menu, only one audio track and it works! So I think there is a problems with some dvds, which are quite complicated.

[Selur]

I'll try it on a XP system, it would help if you would create a debugOutput:
1. start Hybrid
2. set the output
3. enable Config->Internals->Handling->Create debug file
4. activate DVD input
5. load source
6. change audio to 'passthrough all'
7. press Add to Job Queue
8. close Hybrid
9. go to the folder where the output was ment to be created (there should be a HybridDebugOutput.txt file)
10. send me the txt via pm or upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm

=> Tried it on a Windows XP system I got in a VM, worked fine here,.. :( Does anyone else have this problem?

----
By looking at the screenshot I see that there's definitely something wrong, since:
1. the subtitle tab should be enabled when a DVD with subtitles is loaded
2. the Audio-ComboBox should be grayed out when 'passthrough all' is selected

[alter4]

>>1. the subtitle tab should be enabled when a DVD with subtitles is loaded
It neither work with this check box nor without, I changed it, just to try.
>>2. the Audio-ComboBox should be grayed out when 'passthrough all' is selected
This is the bug exactly,

sent you file via pm

[Selur]

got it reading through it,.. this will take a bit ;)

[alter4]

Thank you. :)

[Selur]

Since I can't reproduce it I send you a link via pm my current windows dev versions of hybrid. (all just build a few minutes ago)

Hybrid rev 2011.09.26.1:
*fixed*

x264: accidentally levels 3.2-3.0 were removed on high profile selection
linux: preview bug


*changed*

x264: now ratetol will be disabled unless 1pass abr or 2pass with level = unrestricted is used (to avoid vbv-violations)


*removed*

linux: CUDA H.264 since there's no cuda encoder for linux atm,.. (probably easy to implement using current sourcecode and the linux libaries from the NVIDA SDK; anyone volunteering ?)


-> downloads: http://www.selur.de/downloads

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Does anyone besides alter4 have the problem that he can't add audio via passthrough form DVDs? (can't reproduce it and I got no clue what's going wrong there, so additional feedback might help to determine if this is a bug in Hybrid or a problem with his system)

Cu Selur

Ps.: also try the win2k version,.. (it uses an older windows vc++ and sdk)

[Hobbe]

Question.. Why does Hybrid calculate a new bitrate when I encode? (Log says: calculated new bitrate 2130).. I Specified 1500.

[Selur]

Hybrid normally calculates a new bit rate if the audio was smaller than originally anticipated to hit a specific target size,...

[Hobbe]

Hmm ok. This was a .mov file with vbr aac sound... I'll check more files later and see if it happens again...
Any plans to make it possible to use qaac for encoding aac?

[Selur]

The content of the input does not matter, the main question is what you configured. ;)
Look at http://www.selur.de/support to see what infos would be could to trace a bug/problem. :)

Any plans to make it possible to use qaac for encoding aac?
I looked at it but since nobody asked about it, I figured nobody wants it. :) (+ it would be Windows only)
Think I'll have two days of free time next week, if there's interest in it, I could add qaacenc support then.

Cu Selur

[pdanpdan]

In config/Profiles/AV-Combo Create I allways get a "There's no video profile named ...." when trying to choose anything but passthrough

[Selur]

Probably related to the custom setting options I added a few releases ago, will look at it tomorrow. :) (did a quick check and found&fixed the problem :)) -> fixed

[BigPines]

The current OS X build crashes on Lion. Is there a fix planned? I so wanted to use this. :(

Mike

[Selur]

I'm still using Mac OS X Snow Leopard here, but I'll look into it. (not sure if it's enough to update the Qt version on my mac mini or if other stuff needs to be done too ;))

[Selur]

about qaac integration:

Normally Hybrid offers a list with the following target bit rates: 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 160, 192, 224, 256, 320, 384, 448, 512, 576, 640
now the problem is that afaik the bit rates qaac allows are more restricted and strongly depend on the target (sample rate, channel count, he or lc).
So depending on sample rate, channel count and he or lc the available bit rates change and I'm looking for a list of common values to select for my list, since I don't like the idea to update the list each time sample rate, channel count or he/lc selection changes.

-> Anyone got an idea how to solve this?
(aside from this and showing the encoding progress for qaac, the qaac support is finished)

-> got the bitrates! Thanks to the author or qaac for addint the --formats option!!

Hybrid rev 2011.10.06.1:
*fixed*
x264: bit rate was adjusted on two pass even when bit rate was preferred
x264: LevelSwitch hickup
x264: weigthp with combination of preset ultrafast and tune fastdecode
fixed A/V-ComboProfile

*added*
qaac support for windows xp and newer (due to the need of current Quicktime)

[Music Fan]

Hi,
I have a little problem (which is not really a problem) ; if I wanna add chapters every 2 minutes in a MKV, and one more at 2'30" (for example), all chapters after this one will keep their number, and there will be two chapters with the same number. So I have to change manually all chapter's number after this one and it takes time on long videos (because I like to have a lot of chapters).
Could you add if possible a "smart" detection of chapter's number to change it automatically when we insert another chapter (or even more than one) after the others every x minutes ?
If I add first this chapter (at 2'30"), then I can't add other chapters every x minutes, it only works when there are yet no chapters.
I still use the 110205 version, which is enough for my needs. And I have Windows XP pro.
Thanks ;)

[Selur]

checking on a bug atm, but I think it shouldn't be hard to add this,.. :)

[Music Fan]

Cool :thanks:

[Selur]

send you a pm with an updated Hybrid version for testing,..

[Selur]

Hybrid rev 2011.10.09.1:

*fixed*

linux: aac encoding
audio: don't show neroAacEnc on Mac and Linux64 systems
qaac: cracking at beginning due to sox call adding wav headers

*added*

option to en-/disable using faac with mencoder/faac for aac encoding
chapters: 'Add Chapters' option to add additional chapters every X min
chapters: option to adjust chapter names: chapters that start with 'Chapter' or is empty will be renamed to 'Chapter X' where X is the chapter position

*cosmetics*

rearranged items in chapterTab

Very good work.;)

I believe that you forgot one word in the very first post of this topic ;
which can nearly every input
I guess you meant which can nearly open (or accept) every input.

:)

fixed ;)

[alter4]

Hi Selur. I uploaded problematic sample and send you a link via private email.

[Selur]

Downloading right now, will look at it and report tomorrow. :)
(I can reproduce the problem with your sample, but need to analyze what is causing it, seems like the analysis return a broken container,.. :/ more tomorrow,..)

Cu Selur

Ps.: had some time, send you a pm with a hopefully fixed version :)

[alter4]

Tested. It Works. :) Thx

[alter4]

Could I use the "fixed" version on regular basis? Or might it has some other experimental features?

[Selur]

here I keep track of the changes I did to my development versions:
http://forum.selur.de/topic22-infos-about-fixed-bugs-etc-in-the-next-release.html
(content will appear as changelog entry once I make a release)

Version should be fine for regular use, at least I'm not aware of any problem it should cause. :)

Hybrid rev 2011.11.07.1:

*added*

mkv: muxing option to enable '--clusters-in-meta-seek' which some players need to seek properly in mkv files

*fixed*

audio: 'aac' container compatibility check
qaac: audio count on downmix
audio: Hybrid will no longer use mencoder for aac encoding (see: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162762)
audio: enabling and setting 'mkv default' if item with 'mkv default' was removed from queue

*changed*

subtitle: allow setting of set mkv forced/default when queue is empty
tags: allow to configure audio, video, subtitle tag settings (when no input is set)
windows: check for UNC paths since oggenc2 does not support them

[Music Fan]

mkv: muxing option to enable '--clusters-in-meta-seek' which some players need to seek properly in mkv files
I don't know this, is it useful only for h264 or also mpeg ?

[Selur]

Not sure since, but since soem folks couldn't seek properly on their players when this was enabled (was default prior 4.0) I added the option.
So since remuxing doesn't really take long, I would suggest: Try it. ;)

[alter4]

At first thx for the great tool again)) I have a feature request. Is it possible to move subtitle processing into the batch stage? The main idea is to have real "one-click encode" mode.

[Selur]

Might be possible for path through where the subtitle don't need any processing,... other than that it's probably not possible at the momentdue to missing of automated ocr and subtitle conversion tools. I'll think about it, but no promises. ;)

[Skarabey]

Hi, Selur. You've created an excellent program, but I ran into two problems.
1. When I want to convert BD to MP4, the Hybrid crash during renaming audio file *track*.pcm, because it demux the audio from BD to a file *track*.wav, but tries to rename a file *track*.pcm.
2. In some cases, the sound suddenly disappears in the result mp4 file. Can this be due to the fact that when the hybrid is coding a video, I press pause, set up the following job, and then re-run the hybrid? May be, the suspend mode doesn't work very well. What do you think?

[Selur]

I can reproduce at least the 1st problem, will look to fix it in the evening when I'm off from work (just stood up, since I'm in china atm. ;)), it would help if you wrote which Hybrid version (win32/win64/linux32/64mac) you use so that I can send you a 'fixed' version once I fix the problem.
About problem 2, I need some debut output to and may be ints what you a small file and some hints what you did to reproduce this. (see: http://www.selur.de/support)

Cu Selur

[Skarabey]

I use Hybrid rev 2011.11.07.1 for Windows 2008 Server 64bit.

About problem 2, unfortunately, I deleted the bad output files. Because of the disappearance of the sound isn't regular, ie not in every file, so today I put 5 movies for processing. If tomorrow some movie will once again be the problem, I'll send you a full log about this movie along with a small peice of the output file.

[Selur]

I don't need the output, if it happens with a specific input, additional infos (may be small sample) of the input would be interesting. ;)

[StainlessS]

Selur,
Am just gonna give Hybrid a try. Was on your site and in latest changelog entry below:-


rev 2011.11.07.1:

*fixed*

audio: 'aac' container compatibility check
qaac: audio count on downmix
audio: Hybrid will no longer use mencoder for aac encoding (see: https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=162762)
audio: enabling and setting 'mkv default' if item with 'mkv default' was removed from queue


the link is using the 'https' protocol, and prompts security
certificate warnings from both IE and FireFox. :eek:
Just for your info.

[Skarabey]

I don't need the output, if it happens with a specific input, additional infos (may be small sample) of the input would be interesting. ;)

I prepared to you all needed info. Links: https://rapidshare.com/files/3387747685/Sample.mkv and https://rapidshare.com/files/3134179957/DebugOutput.txt

It's a small piece of input file and Debug Log. Somewhere inside this sample the sound disappears.

[Selur]

@StainlessS: thanks for the info, seems like I missed that, I normally use https to connect to doom9 and forgot to remove the 's' :)

@Skarabey: can't access the files, seems like the rapidshare download sites are blocked in china (I'll be back in Europe in the middle of December and will check it out then if I don't find an easy way to get to the file by then)

nope mediafire seems to be blocked as a whole (for rapidshare I could at least visit the main page) ;)

[Selur]

the deposit file download works, will look at it tomorrow (had a Chinese craftsman over here the whole day, to fix some things and now I really need to grab some food,.. :))

Cu Selur

Ps.: could it be that you mislabeld the file:
mkvmerge.exe" -I "C:\Users\Selur\Desktop\Sample.mkv"
File 'C:\Users\Selur\Desktop\Sample.mkv': container: AVI
Track ID 0: video (AVC1) [packetizer:mpeg4_p10_es_video]
Track ID 1: audio (AC3)

so the file contains H.264 and ac3 but is an .avi and not an .mkv like the name suggests,... -> was the renaming intentional ?

Please use mkvmerge to cut out a piece of the mkv you want to convert and then check that one can reproduce the problem with this file. If you can reproduce the problem with the small file, please upload that to depositfiles.
