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

[jouchan]

hmm..how about subtitle? can it build in frame? like hardsub movie..
and what the format for build in movie? ass or srt
i wanna add watermark from subtitle to movie.. iam very confused..
thanks selur..
sorry my english very bad

[Selur]

What about subtitles, if you load the subtitle in the subtitle tab you can embed them by activating 'Embed subtitle in frame' and adding them to the queue by pressing the '+' button. Depending on the format the input is in you will be able to select color, position&co after you activate 'Embed subtitle in frame'.

working!! thanks
but i cant change bitrate for audio..:scared:

[Selur]

but i cant change bitrate for audio..
You did activate 'Audio->Reencode audio stream', didn't you?

Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:

What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Mac/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
Debug output would be helpful. (Config->Internals->Handling->Create debug file; enable it, directly after starting Hybrid)
If possible a small sample file would be great.

All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix. :)
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a link to a hopefully fixed version for testing.

----------
since others might want to know this too (jouchan asked via PM):

Assuming you selected:
Main->Audio Handling->Custom
1. switch to Audio Tab
2. activate Audio->Main->Reencode audio stream
3. select the Audio format you want to reencode to: Audio->Main->Audio Encoding->Encoding->Audio format
Assuming you selected a format that does support the specification of a target bitrate (FLAC for example doesn't)
4. select the desired bitrate: Audio->Main->Audio Encoding->Encoding->Bitrate (kBit/s)
5. add the current settings to the audio queue by pressing 'Audio->Main->+'
This way you tell Hybrid to reencode the current audio stream into to the selected 'Audio format' with the selected 'Bitrate (kBit/s)'.

In the latest version, the cut feature is not working as it should with mpeg2 video in .ts (NPVR).
The audio is cut as it should, but the video is not cut.

[Selur]

see above post about what infos might be interesting so that I can reproduce the problem,... and figure out if it's a bug in Hybrid or if the tools used by Hybrid can't handle the source properly. :)

[pdanpdan]

I have tested it, and it's related to avisynth processing - with avisynth processing the movie is not cut, without everything it's ok

[Selur]

Ah, okay. I'll look at it tomorrow. :)

[Selur]

@pdanpdan: got it fixed locally, can send you a link to a fixed version if you let me know which OS you are using,.. (Win 32/64 bit?)

[pdanpdan]

win64 please, thank you

Old versions will crash the same way, since that is a bug in tsMuxeR. :)
-> it does not like anything but ASCII characters -> remoce the 'ş' from the filename and it should work

update: made a version that checks for ASCII compatibility when tsMuxeR is used during processing

[pdanpdan]

I renamed the folder and filename and it almost worked :)
I mean the video was done as it should, but the audio was cut in the begining(as it should) but then continued to the end of the original file
I tested with a 1min cut from 00:00:50 to 00:01:50, and the resulting video has 1min (2Mb) and the audio has 23min (24Mb)

new version gave me the warning about ASCII chars for this path, even thow it worked with the previous version

[Selur]

Got it! The problem is a missing space :)
the tsMuxeR call should include '--vbr --cut-end=110s' but according to the DebugLog it includes: --vbr--cut-end=110s
(btw. the report and the normal log, really don't help me at all, there are just for normal 'user amusement')

Cu Selur

[pdanpdan]

still wrong - the space is not fixed (--vbr--cut-end=110s)

Hybrid rev. 2012.05.01.1

*changed*

preview: a/v synch delay handling
mac: set default toolTip font size to 15px
mencoder/mplayer: allow up to 16 instead of 8 threads, requires mencoder/mplayer revision r34866 or later
jobs: abort when user tries to multiplex wma audio into a mkv file, since mkvmerge does not support wma audio

*added*

hidden: toolTipFontSize, option to set the toolTip-fontsize in pixel (mac os: default = 15, everything else: default = system.default)
check: checking if ffmpeg is 32bit (only 32bit ffmpeg can open 32bit avisynth scripts)
avisynth: experimental - video olny - trim-support
x264: support for level 5.2, requires x264 rev. 2197+


*fixed*

analyse: avsInfo output was not properly parsed for audio data (looked into stdErr instead of stdOut output,... DOH!)
avisynth: cut support was ineffective for when mencoder and avisynth were used in combination


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

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Hybrid rev. 2012.05.03.1

*fixed*

decoder: don't add '-demuxer lavf -vfm ffmpeg' to mencoder/mplayer call for avisynth input
muxing: problem with x264 pulldown and m2ts output
profile: loading a global profile was accidentally partially disabled in the last build

*added*

input: added support to decode RTV1/RTV2 content through avisynht&avisource if vfw decoders are installed

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

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Hybrid rev. 2012.05.05.1

*fixed*

vfw: fixed vfw video decoder detection on 64bit systems
profiles: profiles with a '.' in the name weren't detected when saved,...
muxing: accidentally frame count made it's way into the fps options,..


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

Hello Selur,
thought of giving your tool a try and I gotta tell, it's pretty good :) There are a lots of options, selections, tools and I'm satisfied.

It's the tool with a huge filesize huh? unlike other tools, it looks big :)
I'll give it a try, encoding and will tell you more about the usage and all :)

[Selur]

it uses a lot of tools in the background and I dropped binary compression since it tends to cause false-positives from virus scanners,.. (-> if you run i.e. upx over the binaries they, most of the time, shrink to 30% of the current size)

[meshaun]

One more thing selur, I used a MeGUI profile earlier, like x264 Slower with 2599 bitrate, it took like, 4 hours for 1st pass and 6 hours for 2nd pass.
But in Hybrid, the first pass took only less than 1hour and 2nd is like 3 hours.
Total time taken was only 4h 30 mins.
But megui takes 12 hours :O

I checked the quality and it's good too mate.
Why is this? Both use 100% CPU and stuff.

[Atak_Snajpera]

post mediainfo report of those two files

[meshaun]

I'll put the video settings only ;)

[Selur]

two things that are probably different:
1. Hybrid always sets the vbv-restrictions (unless you select: Profile->Unrestricted) but that should not cause any speed up
2. on a 64bit System Hybrid will use a 64bit x264 version, might be that MeGui is using a 32bit x264 version,...
-> it's probably the difference between using a 32bit and a 64bit version, other than that Hybrid (for Windows) and MeGui both use the x264 binaries from http://www.x264.nl/

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

yeah, that could be it Selur.
I tried the Global settings thing and I'm happy with it
I am trying to encode a full bluray now and will tell about the output later.

One problem I'm seeing is like, can't we do all the extracting and everything at the job queue? Like, even extracting the subititles and all with the jobs queue? And, is there a cancel button when an extraction of a subtitle or detecting autocrop is running? I can't find any.

[Selur]

No there is no canceling for subtitle extraction or autocrop and no they can't be done during the queue since:
- the subtitle size is needed for 2pass size prediction
- autocrop needs to be done first so users can normally adjust them and the Profile&Level restriction that influence a lot of things can be adjusted.
-> if you don't want Hybrid to do autocrop checks of extract subtitles, don't tell it to do them in the first place. ;)

[meshaun]

You got me wrong Selur, that's not what I meant mate.
When I extract a subtitle or do the autocrop, there is no button to cancel the process right? When encoding a full bluray, we are talking about 30 .pgs subs which each is about 30MB. So, when I want to cancel the extracting, I have to close the whole Hybrid program.
Same with the autocrop feature too. There is no cancel button for the ongoing process.

[Selur]

I know there is no cancel button, but I don't don't get why you want one,.. (btw. iirc. subtitle extraction can be stopped by pressing F12 ;))
There is no option to abort AutoCrop atm., but I can add one for the next release,..

[meshaun]

Found a small problem.
I loaded a bluray, and tried Autocrop, in both mplayer and avisynth. Both doesn't detect any black borders. But there are black borders.

[Selur]

Hybrid does Autocrop always through mplayer. :)
You could:
a. change Auto crop thres/mod/count
b. crop manually
other than that without a sample I can't really offer more assistance.

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

Explain option b to me a bit please.

[Selur]

You can set the cropping values manually either in avisynth style or in MPlayer style (Crop/Resize->Main->Crop style)
Both styles allow you to specify which part of the image should be displayed/cropped.

Alternatively you can enable 'Crop mode' next to Preview (only available if 'Enable cropping' is enabled) , than you click on 'Crop View', pause the preview, read the tooltip and crop with a visual help.

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

http://imagezon3.com/images/PFRN.jpg
This is the preview thing. Can't see anything mate.
And what's the options of "a. change Auto crop thres/mod/count"

[Selur]

Does the normal preview work?

And what's the options of "a. change Auto crop thres/mod/count"
when Crop/Resize->Main->Enable cropping is enabled
you can set 'Auto crop thres/mod/count' under Crop/Resize->Main->Picture Crop (the line at the button of that region)

[meshaun]

No. Is there something to install?

[Selur]

read up what to post so I can at least understand what is really happening,.. -> http://www.selur.de/support

[meshaun]

I have done everything but can't generate the debug file. I ticked that thing on the Internals also. Now what? How to get the file?

[meshaun]

Got it. PM sent with the debug report

[Selur]

the debut output you send me does not contain any data related to:
a. the input analysis
b. the preview
from the looks of it you started a jobqueue and stopped it,..

----
Since I'm running into a bunch of problems with the current mencoder/mplayer builds, try if using MPlayer build SB30 from http://www.spirton.com/mplayer-mencoder-subjunk-build/ fixes your problem,..

[meshaun]

I put the SB30, but still no mate. I noticed, this happens only when loading a full bluray mate. I tried like, 10 .mkv files and the black borders are detected nice and easily.

[Selur]

do the following:
1. Start Hybrid
2. delete every job in the job queue (press Jobs->Remove All Button)
3. Reset the default settings (Config->Defaults->Reset->All)
close Hybrid
4. Start Hybrid
5. Set a default output path (Config->Path settings->Output Path)
6. Activate the debug output (Config->Internals->Handling->Create debug file)
7. activate Blu-ray input (Main->Blu-ray input)
8. Select the BDMV folder of your Blu-ray on your hdd
(The MPLSSelector dialog should open now)
9. Select the mpls you want (only select one; otherwise I will not look at the debug output) and press the OK-button
Hybrid will now start to analyse the content.
10. Press the Main->Preview-button
11. close the Preview windows
12. close Hybrid
13. look into the Output Folder you specified at 5. and send me the HybridDebugOutput.txt

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

PM sent with the output that I got from the above list ;)

[Selur]

I'll get an email notification about the PM and will try to look at it later. (busy atm)

[meshaun]

So selur, how did it go mate?
