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

[digitall.h]

Downloaded!

And willing to test it :D


...so long, so good

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
I wouldn't call it a bug, but I think it's a situation hat Hybrid could manage. I'll explain.
I use as temporal path a folder that is not mounted as default.
If I try to run Hybrid without mounting the temp folder, Hybrid shows a message window saying something like 'Cannot append to DebugOutput.txt' and if you click on OK it keeps opening the message window again and again.
In this situation, an error from the user, I would expect a warn from Hybrid ('Could not find the destination path and Hybrid will close', or something) and then close, or set temp path to default and keep running, or opening Hybrid with Config tab selected and temp path with a red background...

Once again, thank you for this very helpful program.

[Selur]

fixed it locally, Hybrid will now simply disable the debug output after the first message.

Cu Selur

Ps.: send you a link to a test build

[FredThompson]

Hybrid is returning vertically flipped video when the source uses Ut's (http://umezawa.dyndns.info/archive/utvideo/) RGB format.

These source are created by FlashBack Express's conversion from their screen capture format to AVI.

Can other people verify this behavior? Looking to verify if cause is inside Hybrid. All my systems have the same codecs/configuration so would be helpful to have some "outside" tests.

[Selur]

Does this change if you dis-/enable "Config->Input->Decoding->Flip raw rgb" ?
If you upload a small sample I can try to reproduce and fix it, I suspect that "Flip raw rgb" might either have to be changed into a 'Flip RGB' or it's accidentally not only checked for RAW input. :)

[FredThompson]

Does this change if you dis-/enable "Config->Input->Decoding->Flip raw rgb" ?Testing now.
If you upload a small sample I can try to reproduce and fix it, I suspect that "Flip raw rgb" might either have to be changed into a 'Flip RGB' or it's accidentally not only checked for RAW input. :)Not so easy. Hybrid won't take very short files. A 5-minute source is 7G! Screen captures were made at 8 fps but the AVIs created by FlashBack are 30 fps. Haven't found a free decoder for .fbr format. :(

[Selur]

may be lower the resolution and use a sample that's only a few seconds long`?

[FredThompson]

Solved, thanks. "Flip raw rgb" was enabled by default. ut RGb is a form of raw RGB but it's not flipped so perhaps Hybrid should test for specific codec.

[Selur]

perhaps Hybrid should test for specific codec.
It would if I knew what to look for, which is why a sample would be useful. :)

Hi! Can you give me tutorial to install on linux (Ubuntu 12.04)? Thanks

As selur says, it isn't hard to setup.

Install all dependencies
Download and extract last version of Hybrid for your Linux architecture
In Config tag select Tools and verify/correct paths to needed tools
and Enjoy


:D

[Selur]

saving the defaults after changing tool paths is also a good idea :)
btw. if some one has the knowledge and motivation to setup a .deb package (with all the dependencies) for Hybrid I'll happily link to their site or host the .deb file on the official site, since I simply lack the knowledge about .deb files and I lack the motivation and time to read up on it. (same goes for other package systems)

[eqbal]

I get this error: "Your Mp4Box version seems to be too old to handle MPEG-4 AVC content!" after I try to add a new x256 job to queue. I use the version of OS X 10.8+.
I replaced the nightly build of Mp4Box with the default one in the Hybrid package but it didn't help me, still get that error, any solution?

My hybrid version: 2014.1.22.1

[Selur]

Try clearing the Tools Cache (Config->Tools->Clear all cached tool infos), restart and try again
If that didn't help, go to Config->Tools->Tool Versions and post the info about the MP4box version. My guess is that there's some problem with Hybrid grabbing or analysing the version string.
(HEVC support is available starting with rev4524.)

[eqbal]

Thanks Selur, fixed, now the crashing issue in the 'muxing' step, from the app log:

Ok.
1- I have the latest version.
2- The muxing step got crashed.
3- I tried to re-encode the video track of a ts file to x265 with mp4 container .
4- I have the debug file.
5- Debug file is attached.
6- I can send you the sample file by email if needed.

Thanks in advance.

[Selur]

best send me the sample and the debugoutput via email since attached files require approval which might take a while,..

[digitall.h]

Hi selur :)
I'm testing your last Hybrid 64bit 2014.02.14.1 version.
I lost some of my configuration on first start, mainly paths and tools paths.
I added them and saved GlobalDataModel.

But I then realized that a x264 profile I created was not selectable in the Configuration drop down menu in x264 tab. I changed default configuration and tried to save it. Hybrid opens a path: /home/me/.hybrid/.hybrid/profiles/video, that does not exist (there's no /.hybrid/.hybrid). My x264 profile is already at /home/me/.hybrid/profiles/video, but Hybrid looks for it in the wrong path.

I guess if this was also the problem with my default configuration.

[Selur]

will release an updated version today :)

Updated version will problably have to wait till sunday, since I couldn't connect to the server half the say and now I'm not at home.

after extract hybrid, what i have to do? i mean. i can't find hybrid in the menu

Sorry, Newbie

[Selur]

i can't find hybrid in the menu
That is because Hybrid doesn't come with an installer and has some dependencies, read the linked 'Hybrid&dependencies for Ubuntu'-thread.
For example to be able to start Hybrid itself you need to have 'libqt4-core libqt4-gui libqt4-network libqt4-dbus libqt4-opengl' installed, then you should be able to double-click it (+ depending on your system you might have to mark it as an executable), if you want an entry in any menu you have to create it. Also on start-up Hybrid will probably complain about a lot of missing and required tools, to install these follow the instructions on the 'Hybrid&dependencies for Ubuntu'.
(most of the tools should be available through the package manager)

As a general note, since I wrote the 'Hybrid&dependencies for Ubuntu'-thread quite a while ago the ppa's I mentioned it it might not be up-to-date any more and the versions in the package manager might be newer.

The current and last two previous versions of Hybrid x64 Windows drop video frames on some S3 HD TiVo MPEG2 source files. The source play properly with common players.

Prefered MPEG Decoder (Config/Input tab) has been set as "no preference." Now it is set to FFMPEG12 and the checkbox for Prefer FFmpeg is enabled.

what are the performance differences between ffmpeg12 and mpeg12 decoders?

Which would Hybrid use as the default for 1080i HD MPEG2 source?

Is there a way to force Hybrid to use DirectShowSource (AviSynth) to decode the source video stream?

[Selur]

The current and last two previous versions of Hybrid x64 Windows drop video frames on some S3 HD TiVo MPEG2 source files.
never heard of "S3 HD TiVo MPEG2 source files." -> can you provide a small sample?

The source play properly with common players.
Strange if players like VLC, (S)MPlayer or MPC-HC can decode the content properly livav (and therefor mplayer/mencoder) should be able to decode it properly.

what are the performance differences between ffmpeg12 and mpeg12 decoders?
...
Which would Hybrid use as the default for 1080i HD MPEG2 source?
No clue, never checked it. By default (no preference) Hybrid let's mencoder decide which decoder to use. When a specific decoder is selected it enforces that decoder.
I added the option to enforce the mpeg-decoder, since:
a. mplayer/mencoder offers different options
b. I had a source, not sure which, where the default selection produced artifacts
c. I enforce ffmpeg12 for transportstream files since, a bunch of files in transportstreams crashed when mpeg12 decoder was used
Here's (roughly) how Hybrid decides on the decoder:

If prefer 'Prefer FFmpeg as decoder' is enabled FFmpeg get's used and the deocder choice doesn't matter since that option is ment for mencoder/mplayer.
If the source is inside a vob / DVD structure and Avisynth isn't used, mplayer/mencoder decides which decoder get's used
If the source is inside a transport stream container, Hybrid would use ffmpeg12 (unless decoding is done through Avisynth), otherwise it doesn't force a specific decoder an let's mencoder/mplayer decide.
If the source get's decoded through Avisynth:
- and the source is inside a mpeg/transportstream container and DGDecNV is present it get's used, otherwise DGMPGDec get's used
- and the source is inside a mp4 container and DGDevNV is present DGDecNV get's used, otherwise
- if "use L-Smash for mp4 input" is activated L-Smash get's used
- if 'LibavVideoSource instead of FFmpegSource' is selected, LibavVideoSource get's used otherwise FFvideoSource get's used
- and the source is inside a mkv container and DGDevNV is present DGDecNV get's used, otherwise
- if 'LibavVideoSource instead of FFmpegSource' is selected, LibavVideoSource get's used otherwise FFvideoSource get's used
- and the source is inside an av container and 'Prefer AviSource for avi input' and there is a vfw decoder present for the FOURCC of the content AviSource get's used, otherwise
- if 'LibavVideoSource instead of FFmpegSource' is selected, LibavVideoSource get's used otherwise FFvideoSource get's used
- and the source is inside some container I forgot and 'LibavVideoSource instead of FFmpegSource' is selected, LibavVideoSource get's used otherwise FFvideoSource get's used

Is there a way to force Hybrid to use DirectShowSource (AviSynth) to decode the source video stream?
Not atm. since DirectShowSource seemed to system dependent and I don't know of a (programmically) fast way to check whether there is a DirectShowFilter present which supports the content.
(never really cared about DirectShowSource)

-> If you can provide a sample of such content, which allows me to reproduce the problem, I can look into it.

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
I have not worked a lot with Blu-ray sources lately. In my last encode I see a strange situation.
After finishing a x264 encode and viewing result I see some artefacts in the encode. I went back and previewed the same scene in Hybrid and I also see this same artefacts.
But when I play the original Blu-ray m2ts file in VLC, it plays smoothly, with no artefacts.
I put a capture to illustrate the problem. It is not exactly the same frame (I don't know how to get a capture with frame precision), but in original it was not there.
Original m2ts (VLC)
http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0B2vWFHTx0g4VTV9iY1JZQ2JfVVE

Encoded 264 (mplayer)
http://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=0B2vWFHTx0g4VVVBWQUVnNndWZkE

Is it a problem related to my mplayer/mencoder version?. I ask because mencoder is used to feed x264, isn't it?.
Is my system decoding badly the m2ts file?. Is it related to the ffmpeg version?

[Selur]

Is it a problem related to my mplayer/mencoder version?. I ask because mencoder is used to feed x264, isn't it?.
If either mencoder or ffmpeg is used depends on the settings and the input. -> check your job queue :)
An yes, different mencoder/mplayer/ffmpeg version can have an impact on the decoding (assuming you are not using Avisynth).

Just out of curiosity: Is the source interlaced VC-1 or interlaced AVC, both have are better decoded with more recent version.

[digitall.h]

The mencoder call:
"/usr/bin/mencoder" -lavdopts threads=4 -really-quiet -ofps 23.976 -of rawvideo -o - "/home/The_Island/BDMV/STREAM/00000.m2ts" -ovc raw -vfm ffmpeg
-noskip -vf scale,format=i420,crop=1920:800:0:140,scale,format=i420 -forcedsubsonly -nosub -nosound -mc 0 -vid 4113 -tsprobe 100000000
Uses mencoder, but then -vfm ffmpeg...

MediaInfo reports the source as VC-1 progressive.
I run Hybrid interlacing check and it reports the source as being progressive.

[Selur]

'-vfm ffmpeg' -> the ffmpeg filters which were compiled into mencoder were used, so updating mencoder might help. :)
(if your ffmpeg version is newer than you mencoder version enabling 'prefer ffmpeg as decoder' might also help)

[digitall.h]

My mplayer/mencoder version is SVN 34707. A bit old.
But I'm getting an error when compiling mplayer from SVN. I already posted it in ubuntuforums, but the thread is some months old...
The ppa you linked in your website, as you alerted, is outdated, and MOTU has not updated for the last 68 weeks. :scared:

[Selur]

The ppa you linked in your website, as you alerted, is outdated, and MOTU has not updated for the last 68 weeks.
-> if you find a newer ppa, share the link and I'll update the one in the Ubuntu dependency thread. :)

[digitall.h]

Did not find any yet...
Most of them are really outdated. :(

And the only I found was specific for Saucy Salamander :confused:

Will continue searching, as well as a way to correctly compile mplayer in my system

[Selur]

finding more up to date ffmpeg and activating 'prefer ffmpeg as decoder' might be an easier solution ;)

[digitall.h]

You're probably right.
I found a ppa from Jon Severinsson that is up to date.
But it says that
Please note that this is *actual* FFmpeg, from ffmpeg.org.
Recent Debian and Ubuntu packages feature Libav (from libav.org), a prominent FFmpeg fork, instead. You should be safe upgrading from Libav to FFmpeg, as the FFmpeg developers regularly pull from the Libav git tree, and thus have all Libav features, as well as several of their own.

However, both Libav and FFmpeg periodically break backward compatibility in order to more easily provide new features, so applications built against one version will not always work with the next...
I'm afraid it can break my system.

Anyway, I'm going to try to use the version of ffmpeg I have installed in my system as decoder, to see if it works better than mplayer/mencoder.
Just a doubt: if I select ffmpeg as decoder, when I hit preview, will ffmpeg be used for preview?, or just at encoding time?.


Hmmm, I ran a test and it seems that preview uses mplayer. So I don't really know if in preview is ffmpeg used...

On second thoughts, I read that ffmpeg is deprecated, and to be substituted by avconv... is that true?

[microchip8]

On second thoughts, I read that ffmpeg is deprecated, and to be substituted by avconv... is that true?

ffmpeg is NOT deprecated. It's very actively maintained and developed. This is usual propaganda by Debian/Ubuntu packagers as they're on the side of libav instead of ffmpeg

[digitall.h]

Hi froggy1,
yes, I read a little and this was the feeling I got.
It's a bad thing when we have to talk about 'sides' and have to face this 'battles' between FOSS developers. Really bad.

What about Severinsson's ppa?, may it break my system?.

I think I'm going a little off-topic. I'm sorry for this. :o

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
I compiled latest ffmpeg version, and configured Hybrid to use ffmpeg as decoder.
I created a job and started it.
But I think the code is the same:
"/usr/bin/mencoder" -lavdopts threads=4 -really-quiet -ofps 23.976 -of rawvideo -o - "/home/La isla/BDMV/STREAM/00000.m2ts" -ovc raw -vfm ffmpeg -noskip -vf scale,format=i420,crop=1920:800:0:140,scale,format=i420 -forcedsubsonly -nosub -nosound -mc 0 -vid 4113 -tsprobe 100000000 | "/home/x264-VLC/x264-r2389-956c8d8" --preset veryslow --tune film --profile high --level 4.1 --ref 4 --aq-mode 2 --vbv-maxrate 62500 --vbv-bufsize 78125 --qpfile "/media/INTERCAMBIO/TMP/Isla_00_35_04_1910_01.qp" --output-csp i420 --fps 24000/1001 --input-res 1920x800 --output "/media/INTERCAMBIO/TMP/Isla_00_35_04_1910_02.264" -

Wouldn't ffmpeg be used as decoder instead of mencoder?.
There's another strange thing. I managed to compile mplayer/mencoder and have the last SVN version, I confirmed running them in terminal.
Hybrid reports correctly mplayer version, but keeps reporting previous mencoder version, even after clearing cache tools info.
:confused:

[FredThompson]

never heard of "S3 HD TiVo MPEG2 source files." -> can you provide a small sample?
Series 3 High Definition TiVo DVR which saves in MPEG2 format. S4 and more recent save in MPEG4

If you can provide a sample of such content, which allows me to reproduce the problem, I can look into it.

This doesn't happen with all streams. The problem files are all at least 8G because they're 2 hours of HD. I'm not sure what causes the issue so can't create a sample. Posting an 8G file will be a challenge.

Hmmm...wonder if there's a problem with livav and large MPEG2 files. I'll load source and output streams into 2 instances of VirtualDub and compare frames after the 4G point.

Is there a frameserver which Hybrid will accept for input? Maybe that will work for the video input and the audio could be passed through. (I'm only encoding video, keeping source audio.)

[Selur]

I select ffmpeg as decoder, when I hit preview, will ffmpeg be used for preview?, or just at encoding time?.
Just for encoding. Preview is always done with mplayer (Avisynth inside the AvisynthPreview)

Hybrid reports correctly mplayer version, but keeps reporting previous mencoder version, even after clearing cache tools info.
If you clear the tool cache, Hybrid will run 'which' to find the tool, so if the new version isn't the first one listed Hybrid will not find it and you manually have to tell Hybrid where to find it.

Wouldn't ffmpeg be used as decoder instead of mencoder?.
Normally it should. -> a debuglevel 1 of the job creation should explain why mencoder is used and not ffmpeg.

-----

Is there a frameserver which Hybrid will accept for input? Maybe that will work for the video input and the audio could be passed through. (I'm only encoding video, keeping source audio.)
Nope and that is not planned, since the whole analysis of the file will probably fail with a frame server.

This doesn't happen with all streams. The problem files are all at least 8G because they're 2 hours of HD.
argh,.. just out of curiosity can you check if the problem is still there if you remux the file to mkv before you feed it to Hybrid?
(running the files through ProjectX might also help)

Selur, I'm sorry, I go on...
I repeated the creation of the encoding job with ffmpeg forced as decoder.
And took a look to Debug level 1.
I first see:
DO CHECKS

...

Checking video settings,..
enforceFFmpeg: false
I would expect here enforceFFmpeg: true, but I may be looking at the wrong side.
Later Debug shows:
get decoder name....
avisynth: false

needsMencoder: true
needsFFmpeg: false
mplayer title:

Decision time!
needsFFmpeg: false
needsMencoder: true
preferFFmpeg: true
x264 && useInternalDecode: false
-> chosen decoder: mencoder

I suppose that's the clue. If I understand Debug well, even if I choose ffmpeg, Hybrid selects mencoder because ffmpeg was not compiled with libbluray support, isn't it?
Can this be solved recompiling ffmpeg with libbluray support?.
Can the libbluray version be related with the artefacts I see in this movie?
:)

[digitall.h]

I'm getting closer :D

I managed to play the 'problematic' original Blu-ray with avplay (player of ffmpeg), and it does not show artefacts in the scene mplayer keeps playing with artefacts.

So with latest versions from mplayer and ffmpeg, the latter manages to play it well while the former cannot.
:)

[Selur]

an this be solved recompiling ffmpeg with libbluray support?.
yup, since ffmpeg can't handle with mpls files which link to multiple m2ts files without libbluray.
(if ffmpeg has libbluray support and 'Prefer ffmpeg as decoder' Hybrid would use ffmpeg to decode the mpls input.

Can the libbluray version be related with the artefacts I see in this movie?
doubt it, it's more likely related to the libav version.

I managed to play the 'problematic' original Blu-ray with avplay (player of ffmpeg),...
you are not using ffmpeg, you are using avconv.
ffmpegs player is ffplay. :)

[digitall.h]

Of course, you're right :o :rolleyes:

But then...
With mplayer, from inside Hybrid and in terminal, it shows artefacts.
With avplay (avconv) it plays well.
With ffplay (ffmpeg) it plays well...

If you think libbluray version is not critical I will try to re-compile ffmpeg with libbluray support.
Version installed in my system is 0.2.3
Latest version from VideoLAN is 0.5.0


What about differences in mencoder versions?.

[Selur]

mencoder is often compiled with ffmpeg in it, so depending on what versions mencoder is linked against it can make a lot of differences.

[digitall.h]

I'm sorry I explained it bad.

I'm referring to the question I posted.

Selur, I may try as you advised, but let me tell you first something I discovered.

As I told you which points to mencoder in /usr/local/bin, and when I run it in terminal it shows version -r36970

But I ran locate mencoder in terminal, and found out I have 2 versions, the one that which pointed me at in /usr/local/bin, but a second one in /usr/bin.
:scared:

And if I run in terminal /usr/bin/mencoder, it shows version -r34707
:angry:

So I made Hybrid point mencoder tool to /usr/local/bin and now shows correct version
:D ;)
:stupid:

[digitall.h]

This is probably not the correct place to ask this, please point me to the right place in case.

I'm trying to compile x264 with libav and/or ffms support.
I don't know if it's needed in Hybrid to work with ffmpeg and x264 (I think not because ffmpeg outputs raw that x264 can read).
But I would like to compile x264 with this support to work with vapoursynth.
I have been searching the web for the right commands but I didn't find them. Do you know how can it be done?.

Going on with compilation, I managed to compile ffmpeg with libbluray support and now Hybrid creates a job with ffmpeg as decoder (as you said ;)). But I used the libbluray version in my system 0.2.3, and I would like to use a more recent version (now 0.5.0).
When I try to compile 0.5.0 it exits with error:
No package 'libxml-2.0' found
I read a post of yours where you had this same problem when trying to compile libbluray, but did not find the solution. Can you point me to it?.

:)

[Selur]

regarding x264&vapoursynth: no special flaks are needed, straight builds from the git should support it.

I read a post of yours where you had this same problem when trying to compile libbluray, but did not find the solution. Can you point me to it?.
don't really remember how I fixed that on linux (don't really need libbluray on linux), but I gave up to fix it on Mac
Looking at the script used in https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite might help. (I know it's a script ment for MinGW, but as far as I remember the general way should work)

[digitall.h]

I managed to compile libbluray 0.5.0

Thanx

I will try later x264

:)

The jb-alvarado script does not contain support to add ffms or libav to x264

I don't know if this is supposed to happen, but with the same film Hybrid encodes x264 @ 2.36 fps when with mencoder it was encoding @ 3.8 fps...

Most probably you're completely right. I will revise the files, I think I just saw code for vanilla x264 compilation.

cd x264-git
./configure --host=$targetHost --prefix=$LOCALDESTDIR --extra-cflags=-fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations --enable-static --enable-win32thread
make -j $cpuCount
I don't find another reference to x264 compilation. But I have to revise it carefully.

You were right. My computer is still hot, after 12 hours of coding...

[digitall.h]

Well, repeating encoding, and with ffmpeg it encodes at 3.7 fps, about the same speed as mencoder.
I suppose that the bottleneck is in x264.
I will try to optimise x264 compilation in my system, to improve speed.
:)

[Selur]

I doubt that optimizing the compilation will do much, trying to find faster settings which still produce an acceptable quality might be the better way. :)

[digitall.h]

Well, I prefer to wait for the result, and enjoy the quality ;)

I suppose that x264 makes a more intensive use of CPU than RAM, because when encoding, CPU goes up to 99% of usage, and memory stays calm.

So optimization will not improve anything if directed to a better use of cores (they are already being used 99%) :scared:

Hi selur,
using Hybrid 2014.02.25.1 Linux 64bit.
When you select under x264>Misc>Main>Adjustments the option 'Stitchable', it does not change anything in the command-line that Hybrid shows, and then it does not add --stitchable option to x264 call.

[Selur]

[Selur]

Hybrid rev 2014.03.21.1:

*changed*

output: add par info to mp4(hevc); did cause problems with the earliest decoders, which is why it was disabled before

*fixed*

avisynth: problem with DGDecNV not being used
jobs: cosmetics, qaac, x265 progress indication
audio: delay was sometimes ignored
x265: color mess when feeding 16bit x265
x264: enabling 'stitchable' didn't change the call

*added*

filter: colorMatrix support through ffmpeg (not only avisynth)
output: option to use 'Title'-tag value as base-name for name generation
x264: option to enforce .stats creation

*removed*

filter: 'Selection', since it doesn't work with mencoder as decoder (only got it working with ffmpeg or avisynth)
x265: x265 support is removed when a version newer than 0.8+149 is used on Windows XP machines (x265 doesn't support Windows XP any more unless someone writes a patch for it)


General note for those using 32bit systems and general about 4k&8k resolutions:
Don't be surprised if you can't reencode content with 4k or 8k resolutions. The 2GB (3GB with LAA on a 64bit OS running the 32bit application) memory limit is simply not enough.
4k = 3840x2160 pixels with Yv12 that is 1.5byte per pixel, so 3840x2160x1.5 = 12384000 byte ~ 11.8MB per Frame, so assuming a max GOP size of 250 is used a bit over 2.8GB would be needed to buffer the whole GOP. With 8k the whole thing easily kills more systems using 4 times that amount of RAM buffering 250frames requires ~11.5GB RAM. So for any system with less than 16GB, 8k is not something to really work with.

yup, a few users posted different version throughout the thread which are not mentioned in the start of the thread.

Where do these versions come from ? They are not on the official x265 website ?

[Music Fan]

When I try to encode in 720.576 in interlaced x264 and when hardware is ticked and put on Blu-ray/AVCHD, Hybrid refuse this resolution and force a resize in 1280.720, why ?
Blu-ray and AVCHD are though 720.576 compatible.
If I want 720.576, I have to untick hardware, go in crop/resize and untick letterbox.

[Selur]

When I try to encode in 720.576 in interlaced x264 and when hardware is ticked and put on Blu-ray/AVCHD, Hybrid refuse this resolution and force a resize in 1280.720, why ?
Since you didn't post a debug output here's a wild guess: you kept the par at 1:1 and 567i either needs to be 16:11 or 10:11, since the output par is 1:1 the lowest resolution that is supported by Blu-ray is 720p, which is why Hybrid resized to 720p.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Thanks, that was it. This is an avs script thus I guess the PAR is always 1:1.
But now my picture in 720.576 is pillarboxed.:confused:
I changed the output PAR, I'm gonna try to force the input PAR.
Ok that was it, just forced the input PAR in 16 x 11 and put the same for output PAR.

Something else : I saw that we could transform TS in MKV without re-encoding with Hybrid ; how do you make to put the good framerate for interlaced stuff ? I tried manually the same method than Hybrid (extraction with TSMuxer, remux with MKVMerge, put 50i) but MediaInfo detects my MKV's framerate as variable while it is constant. When it's done with Hybrid, the framerate is well detected as constant.

[Music Fan]

Actually 16/11 is not good for 16/9 PAL videos ; MKVMerge detects this display size : 1047*576 while it should be 1024*576, could you add this in Hybrid ?

[Selur]

no way. Yo are mixing DAR and PAR, see: http://forum.selur.de/topic287-info-about-pixel-aspect-ratios.html

how do you make to put the good framerate for interlaced stuff ?
I explicitly tell mkvmerge which frame rate should be used.

[Music Fan]

I explicitly tell mkvmerge which frame rate should be used.
I also do this, I put 50i.:confused:

no way. Yo are mixing DAR and PAR
No, I know what means DAR and PAR, I made a lot of mpeg-2 encoding and dvd authoring.

see: http://forum.selur.de/topic287-info-about-pixel-aspect-ratios.html
Ok, I see where the difference comes from ; 16/11 PAR is another norm. But in my opinion, this shouldn't be used for AVCHD/Blu-ray because it gives a unusual Display Resolution (1047*576 instead of 1024*576) and may not be compliant with standalone players (I mean when converted in m2ts with TSMuxer or multiAVCHD).
I will put 64/45.

[Music Fan]

Actually I can't put 64/45 !:confused:
I have an avs script with a 720.576 resolution and I wanna let it in 720.576 and have a 64/45 PAR, how to do this ?

[Selur]

by setting the "Input PAR" to 64/45

[Music Fan]

That's what I did but Hybrid still force the resize in 1280.720 if I don't untick hardware Blu-ray/AVCHD (no problem if I put 16/11 instead of 64/45) and the output PAR is ticked and I have to choose a PAR in the list which does not include 64/45 (logical with a resize in 1280.720).

[Selur]

no, yo have to set inpt par to 64/45 and set output par to 16/11

[Music Fan]

In this case Hybrid make a resize in 496.576, but I can change it, thus I put 720.576, I go in the main window, then I go back in crop/resize and it became 704.576.:o
And anyway, if I put 16/11 I won't get what I need and will have to correct it with MKVmerge while it could be done directly with Hybrid.:(
Why is it impossible to put the PAR we want for input and ouptut without crop and/or resize, especially 64/45 which is the usual PAR for anamorphic 16/9 in 720.576 ?

[Selur]

a. if you change the input PAR no resize or cropping is necessary
b. if you convert one input PAR to another output PAR resize&cropping is necessary
c. there is no restriction (I'm aware of) regarding the input or output PAR unless you want some hardware compatibility

How about you:
a. load your source (not the avisynth script) and see which PAR Hybrid reports
b. load your avisynth script and set that PAR as input PAR
c. if you want/need Blu-ray compatibility: enable x264->Main->Restriction Settings->Hardware->Blu-ray tell Hybrid to use a compatible PAR (the matching MPEG-4-PAR under 'Crop/Resize->Pixel Aspect Ration (PAR)')
-> really sure where your problem is

[Music Fan]

c. there is no restriction (I'm aware of) regarding the input or output PAR unless you want some hardware compatibility
Yes, that's what I said : I chose Blu-ray compatibility but in this case your program forbid to use 64/45 for 720.576 in 16/9 while it's the only PAR that gives a real 16/9 DAR, 1024.576.
16/11 on 720.576 gives 1047*576 as Display Resolution (you can see it when you load the mkv in MKVmerge), which is not 1,7777... (16/9) but 1,817...
Thus I have to put 16/11 for input and ouptut PAR to avoid crop/resize then I have to change the DAR in MKVmerge to create a file with good PAR/DAR, which makes one more step.:o
Or I have to untick hardware compatibility ; in this case I can put 64/45 for input and ouptut PAR without crop/resize, but I guess it's better to tick hardware compatibility if I wannna make AVCHD and/or Blu-ray.

[Selur]

Yes, if you enable Blu-ray hardware compatibility Hybrid will only allow to create Blu-ray compatible output, not some output with a "resolution<>PAR<>scan type<>fps"-combination that is not supported by AVCHD and/or Blu-ray.
-> this is not a bug, but you wanting to create non compliant content while you tell Hybrid to enforce compliance. ;)

[Music Fan]

So, for you, a real 16/9 DAR (1024,576) is not compliant with AVCHD and/or Blu-ray ?
Where did you see this ?
Why should my videos be deformed when encoded in x264 while a 64/45 PAR for 720.576 is ok in mpeg-2 on dvd ?

[Selur]

So, for you, a real 16/9 DAR (1024,576) is not compliant with AVCHD and/or Blu-ray ?
Has nothing to do with me, there are standards and the DVD, AVCHD and Blu-ray standards differ.

Where did you see this ?
from the tool-tip of the hardware restriction:
1. Blu-ray restrictions see: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533
2. AVCHD restrictions see: http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html
3. DXVA restrictions see: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=972503, Hyrid allows all mod16 resolutions not just the few mentioned

Why should my videos be deformed when encoded in x264 while a 64/45 PAR for 720.576 is ok in mpeg-2 on dvd ?
because there are different standards and if you are compliant to one standard it does not mean you are compliant to the next one

[Music Fan]

because there are different standards and if you are compliant to one standard it does not mean you are compliant to the next one
Ok, but why should the DAR differ from a media to another ? 16/9 is 16/9, whatever the codec used. And to get 1,777 (16/9) from 720.576, there is only one good PAR : 64/45, that's mathematical.

AVCHD restrictions see: http://www.avchd-info.org/format/index.html
There is nothing about PAR.

Blu-ray restrictions see: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=154533
16/11 and 12/11 for 720*576 are very strange PAR, not sure it applies to all sources. And I continue to doubt because, as shon3i wrote ;
it's based on original Blu-Ray specification, which are not available in public.
I'd like to be sure his post is complete.
If it is, I wonder why Blu-ray inventors changed the PAR for SD resolutions compared to dvd while the video sources can be the same on both supports.:confused:

Anyway, if I make an AVCHD, MKV will be converted in m2ts by TSMuxer, thus I should verify what TSMuxer does.

[Selur]

Sorry, but it's a moot point of discussion.
As far as I know the specifications are they are and they require a MPEG-4 PAR for MPEG-4 AVC content.

I'd like to be sure it's complete.
Specification is complete for some time and from what I know that point never changed.

If it is, I wonder why Blu-ray inventors changed the PAR for SD resolutions compared to dvd while the video sources can be the same on both supports.
MPEG-2 isn't MPEG-4, it should be standard compliant to put DVD content onto a Blu-ray.
Converting the MPEG-2 content to MPEG-4 and putting it on a Blu-ray requires the MPEG-4 content to have a MPEG-4 compliant PAR.
-> Can't tell you why the standard committees decided they way they did, but Hybrid will enforce (or try to enforce) standard compliance if it was told to do so by enabling "x264->Main->Restriction Settings->Hardware".

=> It's not a bug in Hybrid that it behaves the way it does and I can't help you change the standards.
For me atm. it's like you asking me why the MPEG-4 AVC level restrictions are the way they are and why Hybrid would enforce them if it was told to do so.
So sadly I can't help you since I don't see a problem I can help you more then I did, by trying to explain how thinks are from what I know.

Anyway, if I make an AVCHD, MKV will be converted in m2ts by TSMuxer, thus I should verify what TSMuxer does.
tsMuxeR doesn't care about either the Blu-ray or AVCHD standard when creating a m2ts file, it doesn't do any vbv, resolution or other checks as far as I know.

[Music Fan]

I can help you more then I did, by trying to explain how thinks are from what I know.
Don't worry, I understood with your previous post why Hybrid worked like this and I thank you for your explanations.

Specification is complete for some time and from what I know that point never changed.
Of course but I was talking about shon3i's post, not about the norm.

the specifications are they are and they require a MPEG-4 PAR for MPEG-4 AVC content.

(...)

Converting the MPEG-2 content to MPEG-4 and putting it on a Blu-ray requires the MPEG-4 content to have a MPEG-4 compliant PAR.
In this case, how to know that anamorphic 16/9 will be correctly displayed in 16/9 ?

tsMuxeR doesn't care about either the Blu-ray or AVCHD standard when creating a m2ts file, it doesn't do any vbv, resolution or other checks as far as I know.
Actually I meant using TSMuxer with multiAVCHD, which creates standard files or warn if a video is not AVCHD (or Blu-ray) compliant. And when using TSMuxer alone to create an AVCHD folder, it's maybe more exigent than when simply multiplexing in ts or m2ts.
My standalone players never refused projects made with multiAVCHD (except when I made authoring errors), so I guess the PAR are ok.
But that was before using Hybrid ; I encoded with MeGui (IIRC, the format was mp4) and I put it in TS with TSMuxer in which I specified the DAR (4/3 or 16/9).

[Selur]

In this case, how to know that anamorphic 16/9 will be correctly displayed in 16/9 ?
I use the preview. :)

[Music Fan]

I'm afraid the preview might not allow to make easily the difference between 1,777 and 1,817.
But I will make tests to see what happens on my TV screen.

Hi,
Hybrid rev 2014.03.21.1 failed to encode the sound in ac3, the whole process stopped and the picture was not encoded either. No problem if I select ignore instead of custom for the sound.
My source is an avs script which looks like this ;
A = FFAudioSource("G:\video.mpg")
V = FFVideoSource("G:\video.mpg")
AudioDub(V, A)
assumetff()
trim(0,0)
The sound is in mp2 but for Hybrid it's wave. Does Hybrid need a real audio file that can be demuxed ?
Anyway, the wave can be demuxed from an avs file (by Virtual Dub).

[Selur]

a. not sure what Avisynth version will be used to open the file (the one from Hybrid or the one or your system)
b. since the script is only one frame long, Hybrid will probalby ignore it
c. won't try to reproduce since you didn't use the latest (2014.04.04.1) version

[Music Fan]

a. not sure what Avisynth version will be used to open the file (the one from Hybrid or the one or your system)
I don't know how Hybrid works with input files but I guess the version used is the one of my system (2.6 alpha 4).
When I open this script in Virtual Dub, there is sound and I can extract it (file, save wav).

b. since the script is only one frame long, Hybrid will probalby ignore it
It's not one frame long, it lasts 1m25s.
trim(0,0) does not keep only frame 0, it allows to have exactly the same length for audio & video without effect on video by cutting the sound when it's longer than video or adding a blank part at the end when it's shorter than video.

c. won't try to reproduce since you didn't use the latest (2014.04.04.1) version
If you didn't change anything about avs input in Hybrid, I guess the problem will be the same on the last version.

[Selur]

If you didn't change anything about avs input in Hybrid, I guess the problem will be the same on the last version.
probably, but I won't look at it unless it's checked against the latest version
-> if it fails with the latest version, I'll look at it tomorrow.

[Music Fan]

By the way, I made an AVCHD with multiAVCHD using two MKV encoded by Hybrid, both in anamorphic 16/9 in 720*576 : one with PAR 64/45, the other with PAR 16/11. Both were accepted without re-encoding and both mts are detected as 16/9 by MediaInfo.
My two players display both files the same way (exactly same DAR), thus I guess these 2 PAR are not that important for multiAVCHD which consider these files have 16/9 DAR. I guess the behavior is the same with 4/3 (choice between PAR 16/15 and 12/11).

[Music Fan]

-> if it fails with the latest version, I'll look at it tomorrow.
It does (just tried with rev2014.04.04.1). The crash happens with ffmpeg but the first step seems to work (the extraction with mplayer), that's what I see in the jobs window.

[Selur]

-> please create a debug output (level 4) with the latest version (not sure why ffmpeg is used)

[Music Fan]

Very strange, I believed I had found the solution but now there is another problem.
There was no more sound problem when I erased the ffindex file and created it again (by opening the script in Virtual Dub), but now the crash happens during the remux with MKVMerge, here is the debug file ;
http://pastebin.com/0XdHRTej

here's the mkvmerge call:
"C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\mkvmerge.exe" --ui-language en -o "P:\bell4.mkv" --global-tags "H:\bell4_17_16_32_1210__09.xml" -d 0 --default-track 0:yes --default-duration 0:50i --aspect-ratio-factor 0:16/11 --fourcc 0:MP4V --chapter-charset UTF-8 --chapters "H:\17_16_32_1210__10.chp" --compression -1:none --forced-track 0:yes --no-audio --no-subtitles "H:\bell4_17_16_32_1210_05.264" --default-track 0:yes --forced-track 0:no -a 0 --compression -1:none --no-video --no-subtitles --no-chapters "H:\iId_2_aid_0_17_16_32_1210_01.wav"
if you call it inside a windows command prompt, does mkvmerge show any errors?

[Music Fan]

Yes : "the file H:\iId_2_aid_0_17_16_32_1210_01.wav could not be opened for reading : open file error".
But I don't see the original mpg file in this call and I guess the wav file is needed while it's not there anymore because it was a temporary file created and erased by Hybrid.
And bell4.mkv does not exist either.

[Selur]

And bell4.mkv does not exist either.
muxing aborted, so mkvmerge didn't create any output

But I don't see the original mpg file in this call
No, how should it end up there?
a. the input you gave Hybrid was an .avs file
b. Hybrid always extracts audio&video before muxing

the wav file is needed while it's not there anymore because it was a temporary file created and erased by Hybrid.
according to the log Hybrid didn't delete it

[Music Fan]

Actually the temp files are still there except this wave !
But the ac3 file encoded by Hybrid is there thus I guess the wav used to create it existed, at least during a few seconds.
By the way, why does MKVMerge need this wave while only the ac3 should be used for the final mkv ?

[Selur]

Totally can't follow you.
The script that you feed to Hybrid does not output an .ac3 file. Avisynth always outputs uncompressed wav.
-> if you want Hybrid to passthrough the audio and use the .ac3 stream from the source, feed it with the original source not an avisynth script,...

[Music Fan]

I believe you didn't read carefully what I wrote and the debug file : I want to encode the wav audio from the avs file in ac3, and Hybrid does it correctly, I still have the iId_4_aid_0_17_03_46_2910_02.ac3 file in the temp folder ! There is no reason to put the wav in the mkv, I just want the ac3 (and the video of course) created by Hybrid !
The audio source is not ac3, it's mp2 (decompressed in wav by avisynth), otherwise I would keep it of course.

[Selur]

Then post a debug output which shows Hybrid trying to mux the wrong thing. The debug output you posted did only contains a passthrough audio call.

[Music Fan]

:confused:
I posted the complete debug file, you should see that I checked the ac3 encoding, otherwise I wouldn't have this ac3 file in the temp folder.

[Music Fan]

I made the test again, now there is again the ac3 problem :confused:
video is set on x264, audio on custom. In the audio tab, I checked reencode, encoding, ac3 @ 224 k.
Here is the debug output ;
http://pastebin.com/mZzELYfd

[Music Fan]

Other test with audio set on passthrough all, but with same settings than above in the audio tab (reencode in ac3) and same crash at the end ;
http://pastebin.com/G0CAarmY
But this time I did something I didn't do before : in the audio tab, I removed the first job (added automatically when sound is set on passthrough) and I clicked on add current, which gives probably the same result than when audio is set on custom (keeps only the ac3).
I forgot to do this for the test I made for the first debug output I posted and I probably didn't see that sound was set on passthrough because audio encoding was still available.

Why is the audio encoding still available when sound is set on passthrough ? That's confusing.

[Music Fan]

To be complete, the last case : audio set on passthrough and audio reencode NOT checked. It's like with my first debug output : no audio encoding problem (logical as it is in passthrough) but muxing problem ;
http://pastebin.com/DqDiiDay
In the first case, I had checked reencode but as I forgot to add the audio job, I guess it's like if I hadn't checked reencode.
Thus I have 2 different problems (but probably linked) : ac3 encoding and mkv muxing.
And I recall that in all cases, the source is the same avs script.

[Selur]

I made the test again, now there is again the ac3 problem
Okay, I think I see the problem there, MPlayer can't handle the name of you .avs file. :)

"passthrough all" -> settings in the audio tab don't matter :)
Problem is the same mplayer can't handle the input file name. :)

Ok, but does it also explain why MKVMerge can't mux audio when sound is set on passthrough ?

That's a bug in the current version, normally you shouldn't be able to change the audio queue unless 'custom' is selected. :)

No way to reproduce that without a sample. Not sure if this is a bug in Hybrid or if mkvextract has some problem with the file.

Not necessarily. Compiling both MPlayer and x264 is a fairly easy job. Just make sure to use --disable-vdpau when configuring MPlayer and make sure you have yasm installed when compiling x264

(I mention --disable-vdpau because I don't know how Hybrid works. If you try to encode directly with MEncoder which has vdpau enabled, it will error out as it doesn't support it)

[Selur]

should i really install all of it? because i only need x265, x264, mkvtoolnix, neroAAC to encode it (either input or output file). is there any tools i need to install?
Here's what's essential and what not (not sure if I did miss anything):

selur, how can i compile mplayer with bluray support? because my compiled Mplayer doesn't include bluray option...


install the development package of libbluray (usually called libbluray-devel or libbluray-dev) and recompile MPlayer again

[Selur]

you don't necessarily need libbluray in either mplayer/mencoder or ffmpeg, it just offers Hybrid more possibilities.
libbluray support only is helpful if you want to feed Hybrid with a Blu-ray as input
no clue, it's ages since I last compiled mplayer/mencoder with libbluray support on a linux system (and I can't get it working on Mac OS X)
I guess a normal search engine like Google&Co should produce some guides on how to compile mplayer/mencoder with the usual dependencies


The problem with the call above:
"home/norvin/mplayer" -v br:// -blu-ray-device Testing
wasn't that mplayer/mencoder wasn't compiled with libbluray, the problem was that the call didn't produce an output (more precise: didn't start) after 5 seconds!

you said that your software was worked in ubuntu, right?
is it possible to share it to me?;)

[Selur]

Yes, Hybrid does work on Ubuntu. The version for 64bit Ubuntu 13.10 would be the normal "Hybrid Linux64bit"-download.
Sharing binaries like mplayer&co isn't that easy on Linux since most tools can't really be compiled totally static, so they will only work with a specific distribution.

Most of the tools required should be available through the normal:
sudo apt-get install nameoftool
and some really need to be compiled on manually. (see: http://forum.selur.de/topic124-info-hybriddependencies-for-ubuntu.html)

is it possible to share it to me?
Not really:
a. some tools wouldn't work
b. some tools are not freely distributable in binary form

[xkinn123]

so, is this Hybrid fault to got that error or Mplayer fault?
does Hybrid quit if Mplayer get an error like that?

[Selur]

The a program does not respond to a call can have a lot of reasons some serious like some trojan running wild a simple one like a hdd that takes to long to spin up.
Normally it's just a buggy build of the tool called (or some unfinished update which removed some libraries the tool depends on).
So keeping a working background tools normally is a good idea. (especially in the case of x265, some build work fine and other simply crash on some machines and not others)
Side note: if you change out tools, clear the tool cache in Hybrid (Config->Tools), so that Hybrid will rescan for the tools and their versions.

does Hybrid quit if Mplayer get an error like that?
it shouldn't, but I wouldn't guarantee it since it doesn't happen in any on my VMs or live systems.

[xkinn123]

so, i found out why Hybrid got an error in my laptop : it's also check my Home folder that also has same name folder (ffmpeg, neroaac, also mplayer).
seriously, why Hybrid also check my Home folder if most of the tools can be find on /usr/bin or local folder?

anyway, i got stuck when Hybrid exracted fonts from my mkv file. does it use mkvextract? because when i use it in root, it extracted smoothly.

[Selur]

Hybrid uses 'which' to find the tools, in example it calls: 'which mplayer' and then uses the first path it get's.
-> manually setting the paths to the tools under Config->Tools and saving the new paths as defaults should solve that

anyway, i got stuck when Hybrid exracted fonts from my mkv file. does it use mkvextract? because when i use it in root, it extracted smoothly.
Yes, as default mkvextract is used unless ffmpeg is preferred by configuration.
-> can't really say more without a debugoutput. (read: http://www.selur.de/support)

Hi Selur,
does Hybrid work well on Windows 7 64 bits ? Because I will maybe buy it to replace XP.

[Selur]

Yes, I mainly develop and use it under Win 7 64bit :)

[Music Fan]

Cool.
Do you believe the pro edition is useful for audio/video editing/encoding/playing or the home edition is enough ?

[Selur]

Only real restriction regarding A/V handling I see with the home is it's restriction to 16GB RAM, when having 4k resolutions in mind.

Thanks for this information.
But you wrote one month ago that 16 GB could be enough for 4K and also 8K ;
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1674455#post1674455
assuming a max GOP size of 250 is used a bit over 2.8GB would be needed to buffer the whole GOP. With 8k the whole thing easily kills more systems using 4 times that amount of RAM buffering 250frames requires ~11.5GB RAM.

[Selur]

Yup you are right even with openGop 4k should be fine with 16GB. :)

[Music Fan]

And 8K too, isn't it ?

[Selur]

Only if you assume that no more than 250 frames get cached, if you use openGOP and/or a larger max GOP size this might not be the case.
So personally I would call 16 GB more a minimum requirement for 8k handling, but when I would have to build a machine for 8k encoding&editing, I would aim for 32GB or above.

[Music Fan]

Ok. Anyway I'm far to encode in 8K so I guess I won't need more than 16 GB before a few years.

[Selur]

It's time to think about the support of older OSs.

Should Hybrid try to keep supporting:

Windows XP?
Since the security support for it died, one should probably switch to a newer OS. Also looking at the recent trouble with x265, it's not hard to imagine that other tools might want to drop XP support too.
Linux with Qt versions below 4.8?
With Ubuntu 14.04 LTS being out an thus replacing Ubuntu 10.04 and all current Linux distributions support Qt 4.8+, dropping 4.6 support shouldn't be too much harm.
Mac OS X below 10.8?
Mac OS X is a sad picture regarding free tools, since:

it seems like nobody is compiling mencoder/mplayer for Mac OS X 10.6+ (with libbluray and libass in it)
to be frank most other tools also do not get up-to-date releases for mac, but most of them are easy to compile manually.
newer tsMuxeR versions require Mac OS X 10.8
newer mkvtoolnix versions require Mac OS 10.7



Would be nice to get some feedback.

Cu Selur

[Selur]

@xkinn123: managed to reproduce the minimize-Problem on Ubuntu 14.04 (doesn't happen on Kubuntu 14.04), will look into it.
-> it's fixed in my current dev version, are you using 32bit or 64bit Ubuntu?

Correction, not really fixed:

I read up some more on the issue and the problem is that Unity needs applications to be white-listed to allow them to use the system try.

on older Ubuntu versions using (before 13.04):
gsettings get com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist
would show the the currently white listed applications
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Panel systray-whitelist <Hybrid>
would add Hybrid to that list.

With 13.04 they added a new package 'sni-qt' which seems to fix the issue if the application was build with the same qt version sni-qt was build with.
Problem is Ubuntu 14.04 uses Qt 5.2.1, but atm. I only compile Qt 4.6 and Qt 4.8 version.

If you tell me if you use a 64bit or a 32bit Ubuntu 14.04 I can compile a 5.2.1 version for you to test, but upon further reading and testint another issue is that even if the tray icon of Hybrid is shown, it is shown at the wrong location.

[Havokdan]

Better batch encode?

[Selur]

@Havokdan: Sorry, but I don't get the question.
'Better batch encode?' has nothing to do with 'old OSs support' so I'm a bit confused about the intension of the question.
If this is some sort of 'feature request', please share more details what you would like to be better. No clue what batch encode is lacking from your point of view, so I have no clue what you think should be changed to make it better.
Personally I'm totally happy with the way batch encoding is supported atm.

You have to define these profiles file to file, or by selecting multiple files and adds them to the queue? It is possible that profile is being used for a given conversion in the queue?

No, the profiles have nothing to do with the job generation or the jobs once they are created.

Hybrid rev 2014.04.28.1:

*fixed*

audio: pcm extraction from avisynth input
audio: multi-input/batch processing audio processing
input: make sure tsMuxeR analysis is fed with 8.3 file names on Windows
cut: fix chapter&cut selection on mplayer dvd audio reencoding
cut: fix job optimization for ffmpeg cut calls
cut: keyframe positions display
general: crash when first a normal file and then a dvd was analysed
tags: remove pipe-symbol ('|') from tags which will be send to MP4Box, to avoid a crash
x264: 10bit encoding
x264: show live bitrate during crf encoding
xvid: y4m -> xvid encoding.
note: progress indication is not working since mencoder doesn't provide a progress indication when fed through a pipe.

*changed*

audio: when using MultiInput (batch processing) only 'Custom' allows to change the audio queue.
input: check that the 'which' result(s) are indeed files and not folders
DivX265: adding an additional ffmpeg call to work around DivX265 not being able to show progress indication
preview: limit preview on mac for mpls files when mplayer is too old or not compiled with libbluray
preview: open the preview inside the same window Hybrid is located (horizontal alignment of monitors assumed)
profile: re-run auto routines if GlobalProfile or AV-Profiles get loaded and input is not empty
audio: use DGIndex to extract audio form DVD, if a. avisynth is present, b. input is DVD, c. mplayer reported it can't handle the input audio and d. Hybrid was set to ignore this report
x265: removed crf and cq from x265 defaults

*added*

avisynth: added support for Peachsmoother and mftoon (not much tested)
jobs: option to set minFreeSize to start (sub-)job
cut: option to always use key frames selection

Hi, currently using latest Hybrid, wasnt having any issues untill i start getting a windows pop-up msg saying ""ffmpeg.exe - no disk" "there is no disk in drive H:"

Im running Win 8.1 Pro N

I`m using a global data model with only the Paths changed (all pointing to my E:)
when any source file is scanned the msg pops up, also if i ignore it, hit add-to-queue, then run Queue it qives same error msg.

I do have a drive H: but its part of a usb hub and is always threre.... but theres not any drive `plugged in` to H:


so all a bit wierd....
debug:https://www.dropbox.com/home/Hybrid/no%20disk%20in%20drive%20error%20msg

cheers.

[Selur]

a. Can't access the message. :(
b. Need a debug output to see what is happening there.
c. strange thing that Hybrid doesn't produce any popup containing the word 'disk'
-> my guess atm. is that the Windows Explorer or some shell extension is creating that message :)

[DJ-1]

Yeah I assume debug level 4 is fine?....
Im just doing some windows updates (about 60) as it's been prompting me for ages hopefully it'll be ok.

Yeah I noticed there's no mention of disk in the debug, it's all very odd at the moment.

I see what happens once all the updates are done...

[Selur]

Yup debug level 4 should be fine. :)

I see what happens once all the updates are done...
I keep my fingers crossed. :)

[DJ-1]

hmmm ok all up to date

using the same global profile (default, with only the Paths changed) seems to run a job fine.

But, if i reset cached tools list in Hybrid, close it, re-open i then get same msg "ffmpeg.exe no disk in drive H:"... but assume its windows error as no mention of disk error in debug...

debug:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9jfr09p2xjh4kuu/HybridDebugOutput.txt

[Selur]

a. can't access the debug file
b. try if it helps to reset the tool cache (Config->Tools->Clear all cached tool infos)

[DJ-1]

If I reset the tools list cache, after restart hybrid it triggers the error...

Debug link fixed now :)

[Selur]

Is it triggered on startUp, when creating a job, or when processing a job?

[DJ-1]

On startup, straight after resetting tool list cache...

Sometimes while scanning a source file(not every file though)

video: initial support for ffvhuff
I didn't know ffvhuff, it seems interesting, more efficient than huffyuv.
How to install and use it ?
Can we capture in this format ? I use Lagarith usually.

[Selur]

ffvhuff = huffyuv + "adaptive huffman tables" + support for all the color formats ffmpeg supports

How to install and use it ?
comes with ffmpeg,... argh typo is hiding the option-tab of ffvhuff
(tab shows if UT-Video is selected,... argh -> select UT-Video, then select FFVHuff)

Can we capture in this format ? I
since it's part of ffmpeg/ffdshow/libav I see no reason against that.

[Music Fan]

Thanks, I'd like to try it but I don't understand how to install fmpeg. I took the last version there ;
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
I found a french a french tutorial but it seems complex ;
http://fr.wikihow.com/installer-FFmpeg-sur-Windows
Is there a version with installer ?

[Selur]

yes, the installer includes ffmpeg. (I compile up-to-date builds before new releases using: https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite <- easy to use)

[Music Fan]

yes, the installer includes ffmpeg
I guess you are talking about Hybrid, but I'm searching for an installer for ffmpeg, to use it with any program, not only Hybrid.

(I compile up-to-date builds before new releases using: https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite <- easy to use)
I don't find links or explanations on this page, github is a confusing website, I prefer videohelp or sourceforge.
edit : I found the link below, it should be placed on top of the page.

[Selur]

I'd like to use ffvHuff with my capture card with the program Virtual VCR (and maybe also virtual Dub).
Installing ffdshow and enabling the vfw encoders should help there. :) (Your PM storage is full)

: I found the link below, it should be placed on top of the page.
"Download zip" :)

[Music Fan]

Installing ffdshow and enabling the vfw encoders should help there.
Ok, but I don't use it anymore.
The ffmpeg developers should release this codec alone, to use it as simply as Lagarith, Xvid, x264...
I downloaded media-autobuild_suite and I read the explanation but it's not clear for me (he doesn't explain how to choose the path of the exe to compile and it seems to install other tools I don't need) and it needs 3 hours to compile :eek:
I don't understand why a so known program isn't available with an installer usable by anybody, as all programs, it's discouraging.:(

Your PM storage is full
Ok, I removed some messages.

[Selur]

media-autobuild_suite is a large scrit ment to build multiple sources from source, so the inital build will take a long time, later it's faster (initially the build environment itself needs to be build,..)

[Music Fan]

Ok, so that's not for me.
But I found another tutorial ;
http://www.eric-pidoux.com/tutoriaux/installer-ffmpeg-sous-windows-mac
Thus I put the 3 exe in the folder C:\ffmpeg and added this folder in the path list in Environment Variables.
But it's not enough to use the ffvhuff codec which does not appear in the codec list in Virtual Dub.:o

[Selur]

You use ffvhuff with Virtual Dub, you either need to:
a. call ffmpeg through the external encoder feature of Virtual Dub (with the right parameters)
or
b. use ffdshow

[Music Fan]

You use ffvhuff with Virtual Dub, you either need to:

Thanks, I didn't know the external encoder feature of Virtual Dub, usually I go in video, compression and select a codec in this list.
In options, external encoders, I see encoders sets and encoders but I don't understand how to add ffvhuff, I will make research.

[Selur]

[Music Fan]

Thanks for your research (I did the same before to write my previous post) but none of these threads explain clearly how to configure Virtual Dub for ffvhuff.
I will have a look at Hybrid's call.

[Music Fan]

The last Hybrid rev (2014.6.30.1) does not want to launch on Windows XP Pro 32, there is a message about QSVEncC.exe. Same message when I restart, again and again.
Actually Hybrid works if I remove QSVEncC.exe.

[Selur]

You are right, totally forgot about QSVEnc. Will remove QSVEnc from Hybrid for Windows XP (like I do for Vista), since it requires Windows 7 or never.

[Music Fan]

Ok.
I made a short encoding in ffvHuff with Hybrid, the bitrate is much higher than Lagarith's.
And I believe I won't be able to capture in ffvHuff because my capture tool is old and probably not ffvHuff compatible. And I can't use another capture program because Virtual VCR is the only one to be able to bypass my card's mpeg encoder and capture in lossless, so I will continue to use Lagarith for captures.

[Selur]

I made a short encoding in ffvHuff with Hybrid, the bitrate is much higher than Lagarith's.
Not surprised by that, iirc ffvHuff should be faster (during capturing and playback) but than lagarith, but should not compress as good.

[Music Fan]

Ok, so its compression is between Lagarith and Huffyuv.
I read that Huffyuv was better than Lagarith for captures because it needs less CPU which could help to get less lost (dropped) frames during capture, despite its higher bitrate. And a compression in Lagarith can be done after to save space. The problem is that I can't make work Huffyuv correctly (the colorspace is always rgb even when I choose yuy2, while I unticked "always suggest rgb"), that's why I was interested by ffvHuff.

[Selur]

Like I wrote before if your software only support vfw codecs, using ffdshow should help.

[Music Fan]

Right, I forgot that (because I never used ffdshow to encode).
I edited my previous post to clarify the problem with Huffyuv.

[Music Fan]

But I guess that if I use ffdshow for ffvHuff encoding, the ffvHuff version used will be quiet old because ffdshow seems abandoned.
No in fact, I just see there is a new version ;
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow-tryout/

[Selur]

Yes, there is. I think that should be enough of the really off-topic stuff in this thread. Best open a new thread if you have further non-Hybrid related problems&questions.

Is there a huge difference in unis uninstalling & before new versions are installed..... I usually installed & check the 'reset defaults' during install..

a. normally 'reset defaults' is not needed (at least I try to keep everything compatible)

So resetting defaults doesn't hurt, not cleaning the Hybrid folder might.

Hmm,... might be that it requires DirectX to be installed.

Everything is fine. It tells that there is an error due to no command given but the same is on the other OS and it works... kinda. read further. DirectX Web setup says I was fine already and I believe te problem might be in missing some files in Windows folder maybe? As I said read further.


Man, this program looks great but...

Another try installing on Windows 8.1:
1. Installed fine and working. YEY! Immediately updated Intel HD 4000 driver to the latest OEM (15.33.22.64.3621) and... Can't launch Hybryd anymore LOL! It can't find msvcP120.dll.
I copied 2 files from Dynamic and DynamicX to SysWOW64 and System32 flders and it worked.
2. Decided to doublecheck again and uninstalled Hybrid (fully with Uninstall manager). Installed again (as admin) and... this time it couldn't launch because couldn't find msvcR120.dll! Funny:)
As I found out this time it was missing just in a folder SysWOW64.

Update: Reinstalled driver Intel HD 15.33.22.64.3621 on Windows 7 and it worked now.

Could somebody tell me if it is possible to encode video in LOSSLESS with Hybrid?

[Selur]

a. Like the changelog mentioned a de- and reinstall was recommend.
*NOTICE*

b. Unless you tell me which program is complaining about a dll, I can't fix it.

Could somebody tell me if it is possible to encode video in LOSSLESS with Hybrid?
Yes it is.

x264 in lossless mode
FFV1
UT Video
FFvHuff

are all lossless (you will still suffer losses if you do color conversions or filtering, but the output of the decoder will be compressed lossless)

[Ajvar]

Thank you. I will use one of those encoders for lossless.

I did not have any older version of Hybrid. As I told I installed it on 2 freshly installed OS: Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.

And as for a program which is complaining about dll... it is Hybrid_2014.7.3.1 It ass complaining about dlls. Some error message like qaas is empty or smth like that.
Now it seems launch fine even if I move those files from Windows folder so I just happy that it works.

[Selur]

It is complaining about dlls
Hybrid itself should not be able to complain about a missing dll, only the tools used by Hybrid should be able to.
-> Look at the window again, normally you should get something like:

---------------------------
mp4fpsmod.exe - System Error
---------------------------
The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

... Also if you worried about losing any profiles etc, & updated to the latest version you may wanna have a look at the global user profiles you have & a look at the 'tools tab' (when 1 of your old profile has been applied) & correct the Paths for some of the tools.

Some of the tools are in a Dynamic or DynamicX folder (within the Hybrid program files DIR)

[Selur]

you could also simply make a copy of your settings folder,...

Win7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\hybrid
WinXP: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\hybrid
Linux: /home/USERNAME/.hybrid/
Mac: /users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/hybrid


Some of the tools are in a Dynamic or DynamicX folder (within the Hybrid program files DIR)
any having them inside the Hybrid folder and inside a dynamic folder will cause problems

[Music Fan]

"add or remove programs" simply calls Hybrids uninstaller, which at the end of the installation asks whether or not you want to delete the settings&co.
Ok, and if I choose not to delete it, there will be no problem with the next installation (it does not overwrite the undeleted folders) ?

edit : the answer is no, I tried ;)

[von Suppé]

Hi all

I did a search on this forums but couldn't find the answer for 2 errors I get after installing & trying to run newest Hybrid:

14271

14272

Any help, please?

Thank in advance :)

[Music Fan]

I believe Selur will need a debug output file to answer your question, as suggested in the 2nd error message.

[von Suppé]

I believe Selur will need a debug output file to answer your question, as suggested in the 2nd error message.
Can you tell me how to get this debug output file?

Thanks

[Music Fan]

config, internals, create debug file, level x
You can save this setting (save, all in bottom right corner) to get this file each time you open Hybrid.
I don't remember if the file is created directly or if you have to save this setting, close Hybrid and open it again. And I don't remember either where this file is created, probably in the source or output folder.

If you have a problem with QSVEncC while you don't use it, I believe you can simply remove it from Hybrid's folder.

[von Suppé]

@ Music Fan:

Thanks for your answer, but here's how it goes.

Installation (as admin) runs ok, setup complete.
When I want to run Hybrid, I get error 1.
Whatever I do with error 1, after that I directly get error 2.
After closing error 2 Hybrid doesn't start. No window/GUI whatsoever.

Can you advise? I'm a noob at this :stupid:

Thanks in advance

[Selur]

if you had another (older) Hybrid version installed, make sure to uninstall it before installing hte latest version
if you got a QuickSync capable Intel CPU and QSVEncC crashes, make sure to install the latest Intel CPU graphic drivers from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/default.aspx.
if you do not have a QuickSync capable CPU and get a QSVEncC crash please share what OS and CPU you are using
if everything fails, you can always delete the QSVEncC.exe from your Hybrid folder, Hybrid will take a bit longer on startUp, but it should not show any errors and hide QSVEnc from the GUI.


And I don't remember either where this file is created, probably in the source or output folder.
Inside the 'output'/'default output' folder, if neither a 'default output' nor an 'output' folder folder is specified no debug output file will be created.

Thanks, German are really the best :D

[von Suppé]

Thanks, German are really the best :D
Yep, chances are 7:1 they are :D

I'll try things out, thanks all.

[Selur]

@von Suppé: also if you are using Windows XP simply delete QSVEnc since it doesn't work on Windows XP (next version of Hybrid will not check for it)

[von Suppé]

I run Windows 7 64 bit with Core i7 2600K.
During latest driver from your suggested link, I got this:
14277
Installed anyhow. I had no such issues with earlier versions of Hybrid.
Do wonder where I got this newer driver from... Windows update perhaps, or silent auto-update from MoBo manufacturer ASUS?

But, it did the trick. Hybrid works smoothly again, thanks for the help :)

[Selur]

Ah okay, QSVEncC crashes when the drivers are there but kind of broken. :)

Hi,
is there a way to open and convert an audio file only, without video ? Because I opened a mp3 but there is no "audio" tab and there is nothing else than "ignore" available for audio handling.
Tried with rev 2014.07.10.1 on XP Pro 32 bit.

[Selur]

Works fine here,...
a. update to the latest version 2014.07.17.1
b. create a debug output of the opening of the file

[Music Fan]

Hybrid rev 2014.07.27.1:

*changed*

avisynth: disable MT, when it's not needed
x265: added support for tier/profile/level and 2pass encoding, for the later you need to disable (x265->Misc->Create qp file for chapters and keep level set to 'unrestricted' otherwise it will probably crash, but the x265 developers are working on it)


*fixed*

avisynth: ColorMatrix-call
tags: tag queue accidentally got cleared partially when clicking on it
subs: .sup subtitle handling (conversion to .idx/.sub for mp4 muxing)
subs: manual subtitle extraction
video: 2pass custom target file size not always properly reloaded from model/profile

How can i run Hybrid as portable?

[Selur]

see: http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html

[digitall.h]

Tested latest Hybrid_140727_64bit_binary_qt48 version with a DVD.
It completed the encoding well.
Will try with a Blu-Ray.

Already posted in other thread, but I feel it could be interesting to inform also here.
In last x264-r2453-ea0ca51 version I read in the --help:

Filtering:

--vf, --video-filter <filter0>/<filter1>/... Apply video filtering to the input file

Filter options may be specified in <filter>:<option>=<value> format.

Available filters:
...
select_every:step,offset1[,...]

Selur, do you know how this select_every filter works under x264?.
Do you thin it could be used to encode a selected percentage of the footage in crf mode where we don't know what will be the final file size?.

[Selur]

Hybrid rev 2014.08.03.1:

*changed*

subs: added option to enforce a specifc idx/sub resolution during .sup
x265: added support for '--psy-rdoq X'
general: added a few additional tool-tips


*fixed*

decode: disabling lavthreads didn't set lavthreads to 1
preview: crop-preview didn't show up properly when avisynth as used as decoder
input: more flexible parsing then reading the tsMuxeR analyse output
subs: subtitle language passthrough for subtitles which got extracted by tsMuxeR

Dvd sources: for ages now I've awarded dvd shrink simply to cut episodic TV dvds into individual titles as they're often all in 1 title on the discs...

I know it's not the best way of cutting know get a clean cut on start/ends of files) so asked on forum & was directed towards either cuttermaran or mpeg2schnitt.

Will give cuttermaran a try later,
As far as output goes I've always kept.. Vob files (dvd titlesets) to a maximum size...
Is it fine to do that or is sticking to the '1gb limit' proffered?
Cheers.

[Selur]

if you encode these episode with the same settings, you could also copy the source 1:1 (without the copy protection) to hdd and use the 'Queue titles' option.

[DJ-1]

Sorry I hit the 'send' button early... Added more..

[Selur]

a. assuming there is a PGC per episode you could use: http://download.videohelp.com/jsoto/dvdtools.htm to get just a specific episode
b. size shouldn't really matter unless one of the tools has a problem with that, but I'm not aware of any such problem, or you author a dvd with it again (I would suspect that mencoder/mplayer would then not 'like' such large vob files that belong to an .ifo file)
c. personally I use cuttermaran to cut mpeg-2 content (first I normally send it through ProjectX and then process it with cuttermaran)

Dvd-Shrink makes clean cuts, I use it for a long time. But as it is only done on keyframes, it's not as precise as a smart rendering tool.

[DJ-1]

Yeah I've used dvd shrink for years too...
wasn't sure.. The cuttermaran frame accurate so has an advantage with getting a better range of cut points

Will have a play with cuttermaran later & see what it's like

[Music Fan]

Actually, according to your needs, you can make a first cut with Dvd-Shrink (to avoid to copy the entire dvd on your HDD) including a slightly larger part than what you need then make a more precise cut with a smart rendering tool.

[Music Fan]

There is a problem with last version on XP 32 : when I open an avs script including a 1080p video @ 23.976 fps and choose x264, Hybrid wants to change its framerate to 25 fps and resize it to 720*576 while I don't need these changes ! And I don't see how to remove them.

edit : actually there is no resize if I don't check hardware and don't choose Blu-ray/avchd in restriction settings (and if I choose DXVA, I can untick the resize in crop/resize window). But I'd like to check Blu-ray/avchd, I used to let it checked without problem with old versions (I don't remember until which one, I didn't make encoding for a while).

@Music Fan: Hybrid does those changes based on the Output PAR, different OutputPAR, different allowed frame rates&co.
Can't see a mistake in what Hybrid is doing.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

For 1080p, the PAR has to be 1:1 and anyway, whatever I choose for the PAR, I can't export in 1080p, so there is problem.

[Selur]

work fine here, what I did:

Started Hybrid
Loaded 1080p source
Enabled x264->Hardware->Blu-ray/AVCHD
Switched to Crop/Resize to check the resolution
-> resolution is still 1080p.
loaded different 1080p/1080i source and got no problem with the resolution


-> May be your defaults/profiles got messed up or something, can't reproduce the problem here at all.

[Music Fan]

Does not work here, always resize (now it is in 1280*720) :o

[Selur]

Try resetting you defaults. Other than that can't really tell you anything other than that it works here without any problem.

[Music Fan]

How to reset defaults ? Even when I erase all my x264 profiles, the problem stays.

[Selur]

"Config->Defaults->Reset->All" + "Reset selected"
Going to bed now, but if you upload a sample and write me a step-by-step guide on what you do, I can try to reproduce it, you must be doing something another way than I do here or Hybrid has some problem with your source.

[Music Fan]

I re-installed Hybrid before to see your answer and it's ok now.;)
Except that in the main window, the detected framerate seems bad : 2400023.976, or is it just a display error ?
My script contains this : assumefps(24000,1001)

[Selur]

definitely not a display error, Hybrid got that information from somewhere.

My script contains this : assumefps(24000,1001)
Which script? I need more details.

[Music Fan]

Just an avisynth script I made, no problem when opened in Virtual Dub (which shows well that the timecode of the 24th frame is 0:00:01.001).
assumefps(24000,1001) is the last line of this script so I don't understand why Hybrid detects another framerate than 23.976.

[Selur]

try adding a:
last
to the call.

To see the infos Hybrid will get for an avs script, you can call:
"PATH TO Hybrid FOLDER/avsInfo.exe" "PATH TO avs script"

[Music Fan]

try adding a:
last
to the call.

To see the infos Hybrid will get for an avs script, you can call:
"PATH TO Hybrid FOLDER/avsInfo.exe" "PATH TO avs script"
It indicates "framerate : 24000/1001", whatever I put last or not in the script.

[Selur]

I see,.. there's a typo somewhere which causes the rounded and unrounded fps to be concatenated. (for avs input only)
-> will fix

Hybrid rev 2014.08.06.1:

[Music Fan]

There is a bug in rev 2014.08.06.1 : nothing happens when I click on + (add current) in audio tab after having opened a wav and changed pitch.

[Selur]

will look into it tomorrow :)

[Music Fan]

Actually I found what was wrong : I had to open first the wav in the main window and not directly in audio tab, then I click on +, go back to main window, create output file, add it to queue, go in jobs tab.;)

[Selur]

Ah, okay.
Yes, the Audiotab is always ment as addition to the main input.
-> no Main-Input, no Audio processing. ;)

[Music Fan]

Ok, so the file opening in Audiotab is only done to choose another audio track than the one integrated in the video file opened in main window (or to add an audio track when there is only video) ?

[Selur]

Exactly. :) If you got an Audio only sources, open them in the main tab.

Hi, think I found a bug with VFR inputs,

running default Global settings
Video = x264
audio = Passthrough All

x264 preset = x264 Hybrid default

VFR is detected by Hybrid as per the info pane and when encode is finnished I get `Constant frame rate mode output`

(I did check the "config/Input tab" and CFR is unchecked.)

debug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0povdnh2kwjcz72/Output%20constant.txt

[Selur]

Looking at the log:
1. Hybrid detect the content as vfr
2. Hybrid extracts the time codes and checks if they really indicate vfr (they do)
3. Hybrid reencodes the video
4. Hybrid muxes the video
5. seems like Hybrid doesn't add the time codes again (normally a mp4fpsmod call your be there)
-> will look into it

=> seems like I accidentally commented the line which adds the time codes when reencoding with x264 out. :)

[DJ-1]

tried test version and still the same, cfr output

debug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/molfn077cvnfmt0/1st%20test%20version.txt

[Selur]

According to the log file, Hybrid:

1. reencoded the video
2. muxed the video into an mp4 container using mp4box
3. used mp4fpsmod to add the time codes from the input to the output without any problem
4. added the audiostream to the mp4 using mp4box
-> I see no problem,...

Is the output async?

[DJ-1]

hmmm, just updated mediainfo (was promting me for an update..)

on the output file mediainfo shows

Frame rate mode : Constant
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Original frame rate : 25.000 fps
...also if i use the output .mp4 as source in Hybrid its detected as CFR



the source file is

Frame rate mode : Variable
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
Minimum frame rate : 23.974 fps
Maximum frame rate : 23.981 fps

[Selur]

since you use avisynth, try if it changes if you use LibavSource instead of FFVideoSource

[DJ-1]

...sorry, cant find that yet, which tab is that under ?

[Selur]

Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Misc->LibavVideoSource instead of FFmpegSource

[DJ-1]

same, with the same mediainfo details also....

incase you want it for comparison or something..

debug:https://www.dropbox.com/s/03hkel297zrovuv/Libavsouce%20checked.txt

[Selur]

during that encode avisynth isn't used,...

[Selur]

Also:
1. What happens if you enable "Config->Automation->On Load->Always extract timecoides form mp4/mkv/flv files" and then load the reencode?
Hybrid should then check the time codes.
2. Still waiting for the answer to: "Is the output async? "

[DJ-1]

Doh, yeah forgot to enable avisynth:scared:

missed the question about async, I have a look in a min, but its only a 4 min clip.....usually vfr source that ends up as cfr starts in sync but slowly drifts, not sure if It`ll be noticeable on this clip.


will try the timecode setting in a mo....

[DJ-1]

enabled the `extract timecodes` setting loaded the source and still reports cfr 23.976 (in the hybrid info panel.)

didnt see any async issues, but maybe down to the clip duration..

avisynth should be active now:

debug:https://www.dropbox.com/s/6p4d3ud93vkau3l/avisynth%20active%20and%20Libav.txt

[Selur]

Uploaded a new version which still produces the same mediainfo output, funny thing is, that if I simply passthrough the video, audio and timecode streams this still happens.
-> my guess is that this isn't really a Hybrid bug, but just one of many cases where MediaInfos vfr detection isn't that good.

[DJ-1]

hmmm ok cheers, I got the version, only enabled the `extract timecodes from source` option.

Ran a test, detected as cfr same....
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6sc6db0848vte6h/new%20test%20verson.txt

are there any alternative to Mediainfo ?


just a thought, is there a chance of having an option to `force VFR` ?( like the CFR output option thats pretty much "force mode").

I cant find the original longer source vfr clip i had so i had to find a short clip online, but couldnt find much `sample vfr clips`, do you have a longer vfr clip i could try so i can try an async test by eye after a test ?

cheers.

[Selur]

a. Got a sample on my GoogleDrive (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_WxUS1XGCPASUZibG5XZkRfeTg&usp=sharing) which I like to take for vfr testing.
b. No Hybrid got no 'force VFR' option and will probably not get one since vfr is rarely worth the effort since newer codecs don't really waste much space when encoding duplicates.

are there any alternative to Mediainfo ?
Not really and MediaInfo got some limits due to the way it works. (vfr detection is one of them since it only checks the first few time codes if those have the same distance content is assumed to be cfr otherwise vfr)
Only way to reliably know if a file is vfr or cfr is to look at the time codes.
If you enable "Config->Automation->On Load->Always extract timecoides form mp4/mkv/flv files" and load an mkv/mp4/flv file Hybrid will extract the time codes and check if they indicate vfr or not, if they don't Hybrid will output: "timecodes from input do not indicate vfr and will therefore be ignored."

You can also manually extract time codes yourself using flvextract for .flv, mkvextract for .mkv and mp4fpsmod for .mp4 files

Only thing that pops into my mind atm. is "estimated output size of the whole file" which would be:
estimatedSize = (outputSizeOfEncodedChunks/X)* 100

Great!.
I already run some tests with your previous ffmpeg code. I encoded 2% of the film, and even it is not perfectly accurate (I would say that encoded test is a little oversized) it is very useful, when encoding in crf mode, to anticipate the approximate final x264 file size.

The 'easiest' thing to do would be the one you suggest: encode the requested X% of the movie, using Y seconds chunk size, and show the user (in a window?) what would be the final file size with given encoder settings. And then delete the test file or not (it could be an option to be selected in the GUI). I also imagine this could be a functionality in the x264 encoder tab, with two input items (for % and chunck size in seconds) and a 'Go test!' button...

The more complete solution would be to ask the user the % of the movie to be encoded (the bigger the more accurate), the chunck length in seconds, and the approximate final video (or mkv/mp4) file size. Then an internal routine would run tests changing the crf value until finding the crf value that generates the test file with the size that predicts the requested final size. And would keep the test file encoded with the crf value that will probably generate the file with the requested size.
:D

It is easy to have ideas. It is difficult to code them. But as you asked...
:p
;)

This is a functionality that could be added to Hybrid. But if you think that it is not a matter to be discussed in this thread, please let me know and point me in the right direction.

[Selur]

And would keep the test file encoded with the crf value that will probably generate the file with the requested size.
to me: that does not make any sense
If you aim for a specific size use 2pass encoding, which probably is faster than multiple times encoding 5% with full settings.

[digitall.h]

Of course, to target an specific size is not the objective.

But in crf mode sometimes you get a really oversized file, that you have to reencode. This functionality would help to avoid it.
In my tests I did not even use crf decimal values, just tested crf=20, 21 or 22.
And when I speak about a target file size I'm really referring to an approximate final file size. If I encode a file with 14 GB size, I wonder if I can generate a 10 GB file while keeping good quality. If I make this choice before the final (whole movie) encoding, looking at the test file, I will save time and CPU life time.
:D

[Selur]

-> Don't think anything like that will come anytime soon.
May be I'll add an option to create video only jobs which encode x% of the input, using y-sec chunks, but that's probably it.
(the normal log will show the final size of the output, but the whole estimating stuff would be up to the user)

[digitall.h]

It would be enough.
If nobody else shows interest in this kind of functionality, I don't think it does merit further effort.

Would they be just video test-encoding jobs?, would it keep the test for further analysis?.

[Selur]

Would they be just video test-encoding jobs?,
yes, it would be video only (cutting subtitles&co would just slow things down a lot and not really help)

would it keep the test for further analysis?.
What kind of analysis? Atm. I see no further use for the output file, so Hybrid would delete it.

[digitall.h]

It would be useful to play the test file and evaluate the quality at a given crf value.

audio: don't use DGIndex when for audio extraction when chapters are selected


*removed*

encoder: support for cuda encoder since latest drivers dropped support for nvcuenc (which is the old api), will add a new cuda encoder when I stumble over nvcenc using command line application or I write one myself; for those who still use old nvida drivers I added a misc.ini option to enable cuda support
avisynth: DGDecNV got removed due to request from the author, see: http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=364
It's still supported, but the files that belong to it now have to be manually downloaded and added to the avisynthPlugins-folder for Hybrid to be able to use it.


*fixed*

audio: using raw external audio and mkv a/v input
input: wrong avs frame rate detection on decimal frame rates
cut: mkvmerge cut/split call
x265: 2pass fast 1st pass
x264: time codes accidentally got ignored when encoding with x264
decode: mencoder->ffmpeg->encoder call, removed map-call inside ffmpeg call
cuda: cq encoding


*changed*

subtitle: subtitle tab show grab language from file name in sidebar

Latest version Linux 64bit 2014.05.25.1 working great here.
:D
I don't know if it was there before, but I see now, in crf mode (I don't know in other modes) 'estimated size' when encoding x264, good!.

It was just first encode, but I realised that with a bluray source, video encoder x264, crf mode, preset very slow and tune film, it now uses 5 reference frames instead of the 4 ref frames it used. Did you change anything in the command Hybrid passes to x264, or was it a change in x264 presets and tunes?.

[Selur]

2014.05.25.1
you meant, 2014.08.25.1, right?

I haven't change anything and afaik. the presets&tunes haven't changed either. My guess is that you changed something in your settings. :)

[digitall.h]

Of course, you're right, it's 2014.08.25.1 (a typo...)

I would swear a did not change anything.
Anyway I did a second encode, applying the same settings, and the x264 encoding command line now shows 4 reference frames...
Mysterious happenings...
I'll keep trying and report back
;)

It happened again.
Initially it was showing correctly --ref 4. But after some tweaking and loading again profile, preset and tune, it shows --ref 5.
I checked in ~/.hybrid my profile and there everything is Ok.
Send you debug, in case it helps...

the only thing strange is that the input seems to be 444 and you convert it to 420.
Since I have no clue what is inside the .avs you feed Hybrid with I can't say more.

Ok but can I take a version from win 64 folder if I use Avisynth 32 bit ?

Strange because it's a 4:2:0 file and I didn't change it in the script, I just wrote avisource("F:\file.avi").assumetff().
Here is the debug file when I open the avi in Hybrid ;

Since Hybrid uses mencoder for decoding: Yes

Yes.

a. add 'ConvertToYv12()' to the end

[Music Fan]

Thanks but I discovered that all files crashed, I searched why and I found a few minutes ago that the problem was actually the temp folder which was E: (the root, no folder actually), probably because I have 2 OS (XP and 7) in dual boot and E: contains XP (E: is actually C: when running XP and becomes E: when running 7) but I believed it didn't matter. I don't why Win 7 can't write on this partition.
I probably changed temp folder's path some time ago without doing encodings at this moment, that's why I didn't realize before that this path was problematic.
Everything is ok now.

Салам,
The program does not remember my previous selected directory "H:\", and offers to save the image in the "C:\Program Files\Hybrid" (view mode).

[Selur]

Assuming you are referring to the installer, that is a known behavior which won't change since I don't know if NSIS is able to do it another way. :)
If you are referring to something else please describe it in more detail.

[Gravitator]

Run AVS Preview > save the image (offers "C:\Program Files\Hybrid")> select a different location (for example "H:\") > repeat preservation - and again offers to save to the default directory "C:\Program Files\Hybrid" . :)

[Selur]

Ah, okay. That's avsViewer. -> will change for next version

[Gravitator]

Thank you!
One very serious question .... Heaven forbid, if something is not good happens, then who is to continue work on the project (For example at MPC have MPC-BE)? This applies to all the programmers alone.

[Selur]

About Hybrids source code:
Atm. there's no specific plan when and if I release the source code of Hybrid. (If/When I stop developing Hybrid I will probably release the code under LGPL.) source: http://www.selur.de/downloads
Uploaded (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_WxUS1XGCPASUZibG5XZkRfeTg&usp=sharing) a modified, avsViewer, which will remember the save path while it's open. (if you close the window, it will forget the url)

[Gravitator]

Thanks!

The tedious question is related to programming: how difficult it is to implement the command / procedure of temporary suspension of execution of commands (pause button) in the converter, possible obstacles and how much time will?
DivX brakes more than 9 months > example (https://forums.divx.com/divx/topics/3_improvement_ideas_for_the_divx_converter?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=all)

[Selur]

You can pause running processes without a problem for quite some time now, while keeping Hybrid open.
A pause option which will allow to pause and close Hybrid would require a whole memory dump and a lot of other stuff, which either would require:
a. a rewrite of all the tools involved to do this (since each would need to create their own memory and internal position dump)
b. administrator rights and some OS specific hacks (I'm not capable of without a lot of time studying each OS)
-> I doubt that you will see any of this inside an application, since basically it would require the functionality Windows sleep mode has, but even more complex since you want this only for a hand full of applications.
(on Windows pausing like Hybrid is doing it, is a simple call to NtSuspendProcess which is a basic function of the ntdll, implementing that inside a c/c++ based software should be possible in a short time. If the DivX Networks hasn't implemented this in 9 months it's not because they can't it's because they do not want to.)

[Gravitator]

Can be in the mode of "AVS view" insert text (as a logo) and do touches (circles and squares to allocate) :\

[Selur]

avsViewer is a really simple tools which doesn't have any real capabilities to modify avs files it's just a simple tool to display avs files.
It's not intended to be some sort of avs editor like avsMod or similar.
-> don't think this will happen.

Is any Linux user still using the QT 4.6 builds? (thinking about dropping Qt 4.6)

I love this program and it used to run flawlessly for me.

Now I am plagued by the programme freezing frequently or creating an output file before encoding is finished.

I have installed, reinstalled, removed all other video related programs, uninstalled avisynth, everything I could think of.

The logs are all different and don't show any errors, often saying encoding completed when this has not happened.

I guess I'm looking for some generic suggestions I might try.

Any help would be appreciated....

[Selur]

No clue which encoder, decoder, etc. are used.
Problem might be related to the x264 version, try if replacing the x264&x264-10bit version with the versions from http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/x264/binaries/ helps.

[Music Fan]

Hi Selur,
is there a way with Hybrid to create a video having the same duration than an audio file ?
The idea is to open audio and create a chaptered album for a player that needs video (does not support mka).
This option exists for avi in Virtual Dub Mod (and not Virtual Dub) but this is too old and does not support x264.
It works with avisynth templates that look like this ;
#ASYNTHER Import_audio_29.97

fps=29.97
H=64
L = 64
audio = [directshowSource("%f",video=false)]
audio_length = float(AudioLength(audio))
audio_rate = audiorate(audio)
t =audio_length/audio_rate
length = round(t*fps)
video = blankclip(width=L,height=H,length=length,fps=fps,pixel_type="yv12")
audiodub(video,audio)
It's in an avst file located in a subfolder of VirtualDubMOD.
We have to choose a template, open the audio file, the video is created with the audio duration, then choose a video codec and launch the encoding.
It encodes audio too but if we don't want to re-encode audio, the solution is simple : replace audio by the original audio file after encoding.

Do you believe you could add anything in this kind in Hybrid ?
Thanks ;)

Sounds a bit exotic. What players require video and don't support the audio on it's own?
(btw. does the player support mp4, if it does you could try if it supports an mp4 with: an image + chapters + sound)

Cu Selur

Ps.: To answer your question: Yes, I could add such a feature in theory, but since it a. seems like a strange feature b. I would have to rewrite quite a bit I'm not really motivated to write something like that. (writing a separate small application which does the same thing and simply calls ffmpeg to do the job is probably easier)

[Music Fan]

Ok thanks.

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1244112.html might be interesting to you
That's not really different than the script I posted.
Actually I can use this script and put manually the path of the audio file instead of %f in audio line.
Works with a little modification => [] removed in audio line ;
fps=29.97
H=64
L=64
audio=directshowSource("H:\my file.wav",video=false)
audio_length=float(AudioLength(audio))
audio_rate=audiorate(audio)
t=audio_length/audio_rate
length=round(t*fps)
video=blankclip(width=L,height=H,length=length,fps=fps,pixel_type="yv12")
audiodub(video,audio)
And I will open it in Hybrid. And of course, resolution can be changed, 64x64 is very little.

Sounds a bit exotic. What players require video and don't support the audio on it's own?
(btw. does the player support mp4, if it does you could try if it supports an mp4 with: an image + chapters + sound)
Audio, yes, but I'm not sure that standalone players support images, chapters and pcm in mp4 container.
I tried Yamb (a GUI for mp4box), it does not support wav.

[Selur]

I tried Yamb (a GUI for mp4box), it does not support wav.
Nope, PCM won't work. (didn't see that you wanted PCM audio)

Selur, in Hybrid 2014.1.16.1 in the Filtering>Avisynth>Misc> Avisynth cut support checkbox when hold cursor opens info "trimming oints can be set inside the avisynth preview window".
I believe you mean points, right?

And BTW, I clicked Show crrent Avisynt script and couldn't modify it at all. Could you tell me where exactly I can set those points and what formulas/rules are there for splitting 2 different part of 1 video in 1 step? Thank you.

[Selur]

Show crrent Avisynt script and couldn't modify it at all.
Hybrid doesn't allow to modify the script directly. You can add a custom part to the script (Filtering->Avisynth->Custom) but be aware that this if you change general frame characteristics (count, scan type, resolution) Hybrid can not verify what you did and you are responsible for problems due to such changes.

"trimming oints can be set inside the avisynth preview window".
fixed locally

what formulas/rules are there for splitting 2 different part of 1 video in 1 step?
When cutting through the normal cut support, Hybrid only allows one cut.
When using the 'highly experimental' Avisynth cut support, Hybrid will only cut the video (audio, subtitles, etc. will not be processed).

normal Avisynth view:
http://i59.tinypic.com/fz6jyf.png
Avisynth view, with 'Avisynth cut support (Video only!)' enabled:
http://i61.tinypic.com/296hono.png

Tool-tip of:

Cut-Start: Set 1st frame that should be set
Cut-End: Set last frame that should be kept
Add to Cut-List: Add current selection to cut list
Remove From Cut-List: Remove the currently selected item from the Cut-List.
Cut-List: The elements in this list are the regions that should be kept in the output! Not the regions that should be removed!


So in theory (ages since I tried to use that option and you are the first one who probably looks at it), you should set multiple start&end cuts and add them to the cut list.
By:

Navigate to a cut start-position (using the scroll bar and/or the Previous/Next button)
Set the current location as starting point for the cut by pressing the 'Cut-Start'-button
Navigate to a cut end-position (using the scroll bar and/or the Previous/Next button)
Set the current location as end point for the cut by pressing the 'Cut-End'-button
Adding the current selection to the 'Cut-List' by pressing 'Add to Cut-List'
Repeat the above steps if you want to keep multiple parts of the input.

Like I wrote before, this option is highly untested.
I will probably remove it for the next version, since:
a. I totally forgot about that option
b. I lack the time&motivation to look more into it
c. a more Avisynth centric or NLE like tool is probably better suited for something like this.

-> If you want to cut an mkv file with H.264 video MKV Cutter (http://forum.selur.de/topic220-mkv-cutter-tool-to-cut-h264-mkv-files-frame-accurate.html) or other tools might be better suited than Hybrid.

Cu Selur

[Ajvar]

@Selur, I couldn't even hope to get such a full answer on my question! Thank you!
I used mkvmerge to set cuts in global settings and then merge fragments which is useful without quality loss but sometimes you need to do the same but set a cut in the middle of keyframes which is impossible to do. I have couple recorded videos of gaming in extremely high bitrate so wanted to do both CUT and Convert in one operation.

P.S. Please don't remove that option because xvid4psp is not that good as Hybrid:).

P.P.S. Another kinda bug. The shortcut goes to Users/DefaultUser/Desktop even if I have already changed the directory of system's Desktop folder.

Hi Selur,
As you know I'm a satisfied Linux user, and a happy Hybrid user.
;)
Now that we have at home a 3D enabled TV set I was considering converting 3D bluray into 3D mkv.
After some reading I see it could be done with some avisynth scripting. Not for a Linux without Wine environment.

My question: do you think it could be done natively inside Hybrid?. Could it be done with ffmpeg?, can ffmpeg read MVC streams and extrapolate the alternative eye frame?.
:thanks:

[Selur]

afaik. libav doesn't support mvc decoding, so it would only decode one half

[digitall.h]

Yes, you're right.
I read there's some work ongoing on libav side to add MVC decoding capabilities.
And in ffmpeg they seem to be waiting libav development on this matter.

Maybe something that will be add to Hybrid in the near future...

This is just an idea. The default MaxGOP size = 10 x Output FPS. Default now is 250 which is about 10 seconds for 25fps video or tiny more for 24fps. But for 30 fps 10 seconds scene change would be 300 frames, right?

[Selur]

The default MaxGOP size = 10 x Output FPS.
Yes, that is what most encoders use.

But for 30 fps 10 seconds scene change would be 300 frames, right?
Max GOP doesn't mean there is a scene change. Max GOP size is more like: If there hasn't been a key frame because of a scene change for X frames, force a key frame to ensure better navigation inside the clip. If you don't care much about navigation inside your content using larger GOP sizes and/or OpenGOP will probably yield better compressibility.

[Music Fan]

Hi Selur,
is there a way to specify a new length for an audio file (for example from 1:00:04 to 1:02:07), instead of changing its framerate ?

[Selur]

Not atm. :) (btw. it's not changing a frame rate it's giving a fraction, the frame rates are just there since most people know the want to stretch from-to a frame rate)

[Music Fan]

Ok. Thus actually one could specify a fraction that would work as a percentage calculated from the original and destination durations ? If the new duration represents 2,34 % over the original, one could put 10234 and 10000 (or something like that) in boxes from and to beside speed change, right ?

[Gravitator]

Всем привет!
What guantizer in x265? And is there any benefit (difference) from the increase in the min/max values of 10-51 and 0-69?

[Selur]

Ok. Thus actually one could specify a fraction that would work as a percentage calculated from the original and destination durations ? If the new duration represents 2,34 % over the original, one could put 10234 and 10000 (or something like that) in boxes from and to beside speed change, right ?
Yes. :)

And is there any benefit (difference) from the increase in the min/max values of 10-51 and 0-69?
for x264: only if there is a chance that your encoding will actually use one of those otherwise left out quantizers.
for x265: how do you plan to do that? (afaik there is no option to change the min/max quantizer)

[Gravitator]

Add a button to cancel scanning for "Auto crop" mode.
I can not reduce the value of "Curve compression" to zero (min threshold 50 at x265).
Click "Remove all" during encoding, this leads to the purification of the list and stop encoding, but the progress bar does not clear from the information (green stripe and percentages hang).

[Music Fan]

Yes. :)
Ok. If you have time, could you add the possibility to change sound's duration with original and desired durations (instead of fps or fraction) to simplify the process ?
I mean as an optional extra, I don't ask you to remove the change by fps of course.

[Selur]

Add a button to cancel scanning for "Auto crop" mode.
Configure 'Auto Crop' through 'Crop/Resize->Advanced Auto Crop Options' to analyze less/other frames instead.

Click "Remove all" during encoding, this leads to the purification of the list and stop encoding, but the progress bar does not clear from the information (green stripe and percentages hang).
I know. Got it on my 'misc/cleanup'-list. :)

I mean as an optional extra, I don't ask you to remove the change by fps of course. Will look into it during the weekend. :)

[Gravitator]

Curve compression?

Why would you want to lower it to zero? (fixed locally)

Any idea when you might incorporate the new hvec 1.5?
never heard of it until now, so without a link no clue what you are speaking of.
Or do you mean x265s latest release? (Hybrid should already support everything that is included in the 1.5 release)

My source file is DTS 6CH....How Do I encode from DTS 6 Channel to 2 channel aac HE audio..

[Selur]

make sure you got a aac encoder which support AAC encoding (Hybrid supports Nero AAC, Qaac, FHG, FDK), see: *hidden* Hybrid options,... (http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html)->Additional aac encoders
enable Audio->Main->Reencode
set "Audio->Main->Audio Encoding Options->Audio format" to 'aac'
select the aac audio encoder you want "Audio->Main->Audio Encoding Options->Nero AAC/Qaac/FHG/FDK"
select "Audio->Main->Audio Encoding Options->Audio format->aac" + 'high efficency"
select "Audio->Main->Filtering"
set "Audio->Main->Audio Filtering->Downmix" to one of the 'toStereo ...' modes

[Selur]

@Music Fan:you PM storage is full -> the verison.txt and the dll belong to the avisynth extension so if you disabled the avisynth extension those two files are not needed.
@Gravitator: looked into NVEncC and support for it will have to wait a bit since I don't own a graphic card which supports H.265 encoding through it. It requires a Maxwell NVIDIA cards iirc. and since my current Geforce GTX 660ti is working fine and will probably be enough for me for the next few month I doubt that NVEncC H.265 support will come anytime soon.
(tried to test NVEnC on my 660 ti, but it caused my whole system to crash!)

[legend]

Using this software couple of days. It's really quite satisfactory. Still have some question.

1. If I give target file size But the output filesize did not get properly. for example If I input target size 700mb after encode output size I get 745 or 746Mb. So How Do I get actual output file size like 700MB or 800MB.

2. How do I create sample file from my encoding setting before full size encoding.

[Selur]

regarding 1.: details -> no clue how to answer, only general tip: "use 2pass encoding" if the encoder supports it + don't use vp8 or vp9 if you want to hit a file size
regarding 2.: you can enable the cut support if you only want to encode a part of your source (Config->Internals->Cut Support))

[HeadFi]

Hi. I'm getting an error while trying to open hybrid saying :"Disabled avisynthsupport,since the version file is not present.You need to update the avisynthExtenions addOn"

Anyone knows what it might be?

[Selur]

That happens if the version file inside the avisynthPlugins folder isn't present.
Did you install Hybrid with the installer ?
Did you modify any options inside the installer ? (normally the defaults are the best)

[Pat357]

current Geforce GTX 660ti is working fine and will probably be enough for me for the next few month I doubt that NVEncC H.265 support will come anytime soon.
(tried to test NVEnC on my 660 ti, but it caused my whole system to crash!)

To use NVencc exe, you need to have the NVidia drivers 347.09 or later installed. It will hang with any older drivers.
Try to use "NVencc --help" and "NVencc --check-hw" and "NVEncC --check-features".
It will do only h264 encoding by ASIC on your Keppler, because your card doesn't have a hardware H265 encoder. The newer GM220 based cards can also do H265 encoding

Just fwiw, it works fine on my GTX 680 (347.25 drivers), which has the same hardware encoder as your 650ti : around 100fps (!) for 1080p encoding with only about 10% CPU load !

"NVencc --check-features" gives me :

OK, I won't. Just Hybrid is the only one which does this (I recall one or 2 programs which did same in the past) and wanted to notify. For me it is not a big problem.

Problem is I'm no NSIS-Master and I have no clue why it does this,... (script looks fine: http://pastebin.com/7UxbcRMx)

Hello, sorry for my bad english.

Thanks you Selur ! the dream come true ! all the stuff i needed :)

I don't want to offend you but to be honest, it's probably the worst design i ever seen :confused:
For better readability i suggest to use some human standards (size, color, font type, icons, align), at least you tried with some icons but they are so ugly :/ i like only the Paypal button :p
Readability (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Readability) and Ergonomics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_factors_and_ergonomics) are scientific disciplines, it's not easy and require a lot of time. So i can't blame you.

But nevermind, Hybrid is the tools paradise !
Now i'll easily convert all my tv shows and movies to x265 60fps ! :thanks:

[Selur]

I don't want to offend you but to be honest, it's probably the worst design i ever seen
Read this (http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html), especially the styling part of 'Command Line Interface (CLI)' and 'misc.ini options' around font size.
-> You can adjust a lot through styling&co, but personally I like the way it is and so I won't change it.
+ When I look at latest Mac OS X, Windows 8 and Linux Unity I'm really no friend of what nowadays is considered a 'good' design.

[kide13]

-> You can adjust a lot through styling&co, but personally I like the way it is and so I won't change it.

ok cool, but i think i can't reorganize categories ?
example, imagine this is tabs:
Set - Jobs - Log - Config
░└ File - Video - Audio - Subtitle - Chapter
░░░░░░░░░└Codec - Picture - Filtering

Blue group is how a nfo is organised. I think it's more user friendly.
it's just an example but i would reorganise a lot of elements in Hybrid if it is possible. I can use any programming languages if needed.
:thanks: Selur

[Selur]

No, you can't reorganize categories and like I wrote before I like it the way it is. :)
-> doubt that I will change Hybrid any time soon
+ I prefer Tab-widgets instead of menus, which I why I only use them inside the Config-tab. :)
So if you really don't like the layout, I can only recommend to use another GUI. :)

[kide13]

I don't like the layout but i don't know any other gui with all the functionalities i need, Hybrid is the best gui i ever seen ! :) that's why i try to help.
I prefer Tab-widgets instead of menus too, this is a good idea, the main problem is the organisation, not your fault, but there is so much options ! very hard to organize this :cool:

[Ajvar]

What I would really like in design/usability of Hybrid is an ability to text-edit the Current output file!
Because for now you can either Generate it or manually click on button to the right and write full name. While in my dreams I can check and then uncheck box "Generate" for auto filling up full video name and then just simply add text like 1, 2, x264, x265 etc when I want to encode one video couples times with different settings.
Because for now I have to use something like 0001, 0002, asdjf1 for any 2nd encode or browse for first encoded file in small explorer window, click it and then add text at the end.

P.S. Could you tell me again how to trim in Hybrid?:) I remember that you disabled multiple trimcuts and left just 1 but I can't find where it is.

[Selur]

I remember that you disabled multiple trimcuts and left just 1 but I can't find where it is.
There never was an option which allowed multiple cuts, there only is and was the normal 'Cut Support'.
Cutting is still 'experimental', since it:
a. can't cope with vfr
b. doesn't cut subtitles
c. probably has some other downfalls.
To enable the 'Cut Support' as it is go to: Config->Internals->Cut Support (and remember to read the tool-tips).

About encoding one video multiple times:
- Don't really like the idea of either making the input or output line edit editable.
- I could probably add an option to add a timestamp to the current output as an additional 'Output filename Generation option', or something similar. (or add an option which adds the current 'video handling',....)
- Also you can already add texts like 1, 2, x264, x265 when 'Generate' is enabled, by changing the suffix in the 'Config->Output->Filename Generation->Output Filename Generation' options.

[Ajvar]

Dear Selur, or anyone else. There is one strange behavior I can't seem to solve. I encoded source mov file using Hybrid into both x265 and x264 and both resulted files looked with different color range. I take source file and set Levels in ffdshow to 16-235 and see exactly what show encoded files.

Furthermore I went to Filtering, Postprocessing, checked autolevels>Full range and got crashed encoding error after sstarting job. What am I doing wrong? Do you need source file and encoded? Both encodings were with a preset settings and I almost didn't change anything else.
Also when I look at Avisynth preview it looks like on the encoded files. Is that artificial flag in the mov file? I just want it to be with less color lossy option, no matter what it is.

I found a BUG.
Lets say you go to Filtering>Avisynth>Line>Resize checkbox. Then you select Lancoz resize with default 4 tap. It is working fine. However if you change tap number to anything f.i. 3 then you will have error with Avisynth Preview because of Avisynth code: LanczosResize(taps=31280,720), where I asume coma (,) is missing between 3 and resolution.
Also if you select gauss Resize and change sharpness from default 30 then you will get the same error.
EDIT: Ha! I also found that if I add Toon filtering in Avisynth it will bring the exact color range as shows original. So I just added this as custom and that worked.
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\aWarpSharp.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\Toon-v1.1.dll")
# line darkening
Toon(Strength=0.00)
As you can see it practically does no filtering due to 0.00 strength but fo some reason it works. I also encoded that file in another program and it also gave resulted file with same color range but without custom scripts.

[Selur]

Furthermore I went to Filtering, Postprocessing, checked autolevels>Full range and got crashed encoding error after sstarting job. What am I doing wrong?
need a debug output (see support page for how to create one)

EDIT: Ha! I also found that if I add Toon filtering in Avisynth it will bring the exact color range as shows original. So I just added this as custom and that worked.
Can't really follow you, since a few avisynth lines basically say nothing on their own.
-> Settings + debug output + a sample to reproduce the problem are needed

[Ajvar]

need a debug output (see support page for how to create one)

Sure. Lets do it one by one.
First bug I think I found about modifying default resize options like sharpness for gaussian filter and taps number for Lanczos and other.
Here is a video. http://youtu.be/u6-v45zrlys

Will look at the video later attaching stuff here in the forum is a bad choice since I can only look at the content once a moderator has approved of the attachment, and by then I probably forgot about it. :)

Well as promised here are logfile and video sample files.

Encoded sample with duller colors than original http://www.ex.ua/load/155744220?fs_id=153
LOG FILE http://www.ex.ua/load/155742590?fs_id=153
I noticed that with full PC range video is bigger size with same CRF settings.
I also found that on some computers both video files look the same but that should be due to their decoder settings for sure.
Ideally I would prefer to keep full PC range even if it will be narrowed to TV while playing on some computers.

hi selur,

i've a problem with your latest version of hybrid. When i want to start hybrid a second time, it stucks at loading of nvencc app. First start after install is without any problem. Some specifications of my system: Intel Core i7-4790k, ATI R290. I don't need nvencc app. Please check this and fix it if it is possible.

[Selur]

Fixed it locally. Problem is that NVEncC freezes on system without NVIDIA cards. :(
workaround until I release a new version: delete NVEncC from your Hybrid folder.

[lo1t3yu]

What app uses (ffmpeg or mencoder) when selected 'Yadif - custom' deinterlacing preset? Ffmpeg and mencoder has own different yadif's filter.

[Selur]

Both mencoder and ffmpeg use the same yadif algorithm, using custom or not in Hybrid only allows to set some more of the available settings.
So whether mencoder or ffmpeg is used doesn't depend on the yadif settings, but on the source, the Hybrid settings and how Hybrid decides to act on those settings.

Good day! While trying x265 encode I noticed that whenever I choose any preset I see in a command line key --min-cu-size 16. Recently I got some bucket of troubles with a file and noticed that MediaInfo says this file is 1920x1088 instead of 1920x1080 as original. I checked x265 site (http://x265.readthedocs.org/en/latest/presets.html) and it says that only UltraFast preset uses min-cu-size 16 while all other use value 8.
Hybrid version is 2015.3.16.1 (which you gave for testing fixes).

[Selur]

minCuSize -> Yup, that's a bug.
Regarding the resolution, disabling "Config->Internals->Prefer Original->Resolution" might help

[Ajvar]

Regarding the resolution, disabling "Config->Internals->Prefer Original->Resolution" might help

Confirmed that if I manually set min-cu-size to 8x8 blocks then resolution (and everything else) goes back to normal.

[stax76]

Nikos told me about the NVEncC freeze and reported it to rigaya who apparently already fixed it, do you have the latest NVEncC?

[Selur]

yes, latest release contains the latest NVEncC version and it also checks for NVIDIA cards before checking for NVEncC to avoid similar problems in the future.

[stax76]

How does the check work?

[Selur]

For the NVIDIA cards?
It's a pretty simple (and old, wrote it a few years ago) check for the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SYSTEM\\CurrentControlSet\\Control\\Video" which collects all 'Device Description' entries and compares these descriptions against a list of cuda capable cards which I update from time to time.
(I once wrote a check by looking and trying to load specific dlls, but that turned out to be too much of a hassle with changing drivers.)

[Ajvar]

Dear Selur, I am not a designer but draw this button's pic out of your 2 for Play/Pause Job action. Because anytime I paused I always click Play button to resume instead of Pause button.
http://i.imgur.com/skSeEO1.png http://i.imgur.com/IJq822J.png

[Selur]

I'm no designer either, but I'll think about modifying the button image. (didn't know anybody was using the resume and pause functionality at all :))

How about this:
http://i57.tinypic.com/qp15j5.png

[Ajvar]

Better:) I liked mine more because it kinda slashed away some part from triangle and 2 lines http://i.imgur.com/IJq822J.png, but thanks!:)
I use this feature because I'm not a pro in this and encode only personal stuff on personal computer and HEVC is looong even on quad i7.

[Ajvar]

As I am a generator of ideas, here is another one.
When you hold a cursor you may see a help text but there are different places for holding a cursor: Actual text (name of feature) and value place (numbers).
Is it possible to make it so anytime you click Right Mouse Button somewhere then a help-text wil appear if you clicked at the right place? Instead of holding arrow.

[Selur]

In theory: yes
In praxis: will have to test a few thinks, because I would need to overwrite the right-click event of every elements,...
-> if it can't be done in a generic way it would be way to much effort, but I got an idea, which might work. ;)

[Selur]

btw. if you are struggling with reading the toolTips, I would encourage you to:
1. enable: Config->View->Design->Show tooltips
and
2. disable: Config->View->Design->Show tooltips
this way the tooltips will only be shown in the sidebar, where they don't disappear (unless you trigger another tooltip)

[Ajvar]

btw. if you are struggling with reading the toolTips, I would encourage you to:
1. enable: Config->View->Design->Show tooltips
and

I believe you forgot to add "sidebar" at #1 :)
Now I want to read tooltips very rarely but back in the days... sidebar is really useful, true.
You don't have to do all these stuff, I just noticed that right button does nothing in the GUI and that would be logic to show info on the right click, nothing else.

[Selur]

"pressing right mouse button -> tooltip" will be supported with the next release. (wasn't hard to implement since I already had implemented a global event filter to be able to disable tooltips. ;))

Hi Selur,
the drag & drop does not work to open a mkv, is it normal ?

And I'd like to test lossless x264 encoding, how to do it with Hybrid ? I believe one has to put --keyint 1 and -qp 0 in the command line but I'm not sure.

Works fine here. Can you create a debug output level 9? What OS are you using?

[Music Fan]

I have Win 7 64b, but it seems to work now :confused:

Thanks Ajvar, I believed I didn't have this setting but I realized I had first to chose "unrestricted", otherwise "constant quantizer" does not appear in the list, and "lossless" does not either.
Why can we still change the number of b-frames in lossless, I believed it only contained I-frames ?
And I'm also astonished x264 lossless is in 4:4:4, while Lagarith can be in 4:2:0 and it's lossless too :confused:


By the way, rev 2015.05.01.1 still shows 2015.04.25.1.

[digitall.h]

Hi Selur,
I upgraded my PC and reinstalled the operative system, now based on Debian Jessie 64bit.
I downloaded Hybrid Linux64bit Qt 4.8 v 2015.05.01.1 and installed most dependencies, then put path to tools in Hybrid and it showed correct versions.
PlayOnLinux is also installed and so is wine, that shows in tools information under Hybrid. But all dependencies installed are Linux dependencies and not Windows, so not wine used.

But

I loaded a Blu-Ray, and managed to extract subtitles, add audio tracks, crop video and preview cropping, adjust x264 settings, add matroska flags... Created a job, so long so good. But when I start the job it crashes.
In Hybrid log it shows that generated calls always include /usr/bin/wine... it tries to run dependencies as if they where windows and not Linux.
I don't have a simple Debug to send, just the one with various trial/error tests trying to solve the error. If it is needed I will generate one simpler.

By now I just wanted your help to know if I missed some switch in Config tab asking to use wine or windows dependencies under Linux, or if this is the expected Hybrid behaviour when wine is detected in the system.

Hi Selur,
can you answer this ?

Why can we still change the number of b-frames in lossless, I believed it only contained I-frames ?
And I'm also astonished x264 lossless is in 4:4:4, while Lagarith can be in 4:2:0 and it's lossless too :confused:

[Selur]

No clue where that believe does come from. But lossless doesn't always mean that there are only I/key-frames.

And I'm also astonished x264 lossless is in 4:4:4, while Lagarith can be in 4:2:0 and it's lossless too
a. 4:4:4 is a larger color space than 4:2:0, so you can save 4:2:0 lossless inside it (assuming you use the proper color matrix).
As a side note: saving 4:4:4 content with 4:2:0 on the other hand is not lossless.
b. Lowest level which supports lossless in H.264 is High 4:4:4 Predictive Profile, which does support 4:2:0/4:2:2/4:4:4 color coding, so no reason to stick with 4:4:4
-> x264 lossless doesn't have to be 4:4:4

[digitall.h]

In a fast test, the new Hybrid rev 2015.05.10.1 version solved for me the problem of Hybrid using wine under Linux.
I will make a whole encoding test soon to confirm.

A curious thing: the qt 4.8 executable shrunk from 22 MB to 8 MB
:)


EDIT: now completed a full encode from BluRay to x264, everything went perfect, as expected
As a side comment: are there any switches that make x264 take advantage of multicore/multithreading?, I think threads is probably set to auto (in final encode it shows 12 threads).
What would be faster while keeping quality in the final encode?.

[Selur]

A curious thing: the qt 4.8 executable shrunk from 22 MB to 8 MB
that's because I:
a. stripped the binary
b. ran upx over it :)

As a side comment: are there any switches that make x264 take advantage of multicore/multithreading?
Normally x264 uses multiple cores quite well unless in example the decoding is stalling.
-> What settings are you using?

[digitall.h]

My settings:
Decoding is done with a locally compiled ffmpeg version to include libbluray
:rolleyes:
Encoding with x264, crf mode, very slow preset, tune film
:cool:

[Selur]

Is your cpu maxed out during encoding?
If not, try if using a higher lookahead thread count ('x264->Rate Control->Rate Control Settings->Lookahead threads') helps.
If it is, try if lowering the -rc-lookahed ('x264->Rate Control->Rate Control Settings->Lookahead threads' from 60 to 40) helps.
You could also:
- use a lower sub pixel motion estimation precision ('x264->Motion Estimation->Motion Estimation Settings->Sub-pixel precision')
- use a faster preset (using 'very slow' and complaining that the speed is not so fast seems a bit 'schizophrenic'. ;))
- use a higher decoder thread count (Config->Internals->FFmpeg/MEncoder threads); this could have a positive or a negative impact on the speed ;)

Cu Selur

[digitall.h]

Thank you Selur for your suggestions, and sorry me for coming back so late.
:rolleyes:

I will try to adjust the -rc-lookahead setting, CPU goes up to almost 100%.
How will it affect the quality of the encode?.

I'm sorry, I did not explain it well.
I'm not complaining about speed, I know I'm using very CPU intensive settings. But I like the quality of the output and the final size.
I was just asking if I can optimize encoding so I tune x264 to take maximum performance of my (new, beast) system.
:thanks:

[Selur]

How will it affect the quality of the encode?
quality at the same output size might suffer a bit, but it should be minimal

[Music Fan]

No clue where that believe does come from. But lossless doesn't always mean that there are only I/key-frames.
Usually, lossless codecs use only keyframes, and even some lossy codecs (DV for instance) use only keyframes.
Thus I don't understand how video can be lossless with B and P frames.
In this case, what's the difference with lossy h264 ?

a. 4:4:4 is a larger color space than 4:2:0, so you can save 4:2:0 lossless inside it.
Of course, but I don't need 4:4:4, logically it needs more bitrate.

b. Lowest level which supports lossless in H.264 is High 4:4:4 Predictive Profile, which does support 4:2:0/4:2:2/4:4:4 color coding, so no reason to stick with 4:4:4
-> x264 lossless doesn't have to be 4:4:4
But it is :o Or I don't understand your explanation because I don't see where to select 4:2:0.
My source is 4:2:0 and when I select "none" and "unrestricted" in settings, the output is 4:4:4 (for MediaInfo, but it's maybe wrong).
And for MediaInfo, it's also 8 bits, while I believed 4:4:4 was 12 bits, 4:2:2 10 bits and 4:2:0 8 bits.:confused:

[Ajvar]

Usually, lossless codecs use only keyframes. Thus I don't understand how video can be lossless with B and P frames.
In this case, what's the difference with lossy h264 ?

The difference is that it is LOSSLESS!
If next frame has just 10 color pixel exchanged then it takes way less memory to hold the info about changed 10 pixels instead of info about ALL pixels.

You were told by Selur that lossles may be with P or even B frames. If you want to argue about how or why - GOOGLE IT.

[den78]

When using built-in avisynth denoisers on xvid sources, like VagueDenoiser for instance, i noticed frame dropping in some scenes.
How can i fix this?

[Music Fan]

@ Ajvar : Could you please let Selur decide himself what we discuss about in HIS topic about HIS program ? :rolleyes:

[Selur]

My source is 4:2:0 and when I select "none" and "unrestricted" in settings, the output is 4:4:4 (for MediaInfo, but it's maybe wrong).
And for MediaInfo, it's also 8 bits, while I believed 4:4:4 was 12 bits, 4:2:2 10 bits and 4:2:0 8 bits.
a. you are confusing calculation precision (this is 8bit) with bits needed to represent the color sampling.
4:4:4 = 8 + 8 +8 = 24bit
4:2:2 = 8 + 8/2 + 8/2 = 16bit
4:2:0 = 8 + 8/2 + 0 = 12bit
b. if you select Main 4:4:4 Hybrid assumes you want 4:4:4 color sampling, but you can change the output color sampling under "x264->Misc->Main->Restrictions->Output color space" (4:2:0 would be i420)

Usually, lossless codecs use only keyframes. Thus I don't understand how video can be lossless with B and P frames.
a. 'Usually' is not always.
b. B- and P-Frames do not have to be lossy. The way B- and P-Frames are defined doesn't require them to be lossy.
-> you might want to freshen up your understanding of the basics behind the different frame types. :)
(most lossy encoders use higher compression on P- and B-Frames, but they can be lossless)

When using built-in avisynth denoisers on xvid sources, like VagueDenoiser for instance, i noticed frame dropping in some scenes.
How can i fix this?
Can you provide additional information? see: http://www.selur.de/support
Funny thing is I got another user who has exactly the opposite problem, for him some avi(Xvid) sources, get duplicate frames, where there should be any whenever the Xvid file is muxed by Avi-Mux Gui.
(worked around that in a test build by enforcing LWLibavVideoSource with fpsden and fpsnum, but I need more infos to know if this problem is really related to yours,..)

[Ajvar]

@ Ajvar : Could you please let Selur decide himself what we discuss about in HIS topic about HIS program ? :rolleyes:

I was talking to you, not in your topic and not about your program. So where is sense of your post?:rolleyes:
Anyway, don't answer this, it was rhetorical. No need to be even more offtopic.

[Music Fan]

Thanks Selur, you rule, I'm gonna read it carefully.

@ Ajvar : The sense of my post is perfectly clear, but you probably don't want to understand.
By the way, if you revive the discussion, it means you expect an anwser. Otherwise, stop it.

[den78]

Ok, I think i fixed the problem. I re-muxed the source avi with mkvmerge, ckecked the encoded file & it's ok.
Still not certain though, cause before that i reinstalled the app, so i guess i gotta do more testing.

Do that, if you run into a problem providing a debug output would be nice, so I get some basic infos how to reproduce the issue.

You're right, I ended up not sending a debug. But it is not urgent to debug this.

Hybrid does OK all cropping and resize calculations. But the command it generates then just changes the height and keeps the original 1920 width.

When I have the time I'll generate a debug.

Hi Selur,
with a 720p source, I see that "resize" is checked (in crop/resize tab) and I can't uncheck it, is it a bug ?
The target resolution is 720p too thus I wonder why "resize" is checked.
How to be sure that no unuseful resize will be done ?

[Selur]

Hybrid will not crop when crop and resize resolution are identical.
Resize is normally enabled and grayed out when:
a. blu-ray compatibility is enforced
b. the output par differs from the input par

[Music Fan]

But I didn't crop, my source is in 720p and I don't need crop/resize.

Resize is normally enabled and grayed out when:
a. blu-ray compatibility is enforced
b. the output par differs from the input par
You mean both together or at least one of the 2 cases ? Because I'm only concerned by point 1 : I checked "hardware" and chose "Blu-ray/AVCHD" but there is no PAR, the source is an avs script (and of course the PAR for 720p is 1:1). And the detected PAR is 1.

And why is there "--sar 1412:1000" in the x264 command line ?

And I see --fps 25000/1000 while it's 23.976 fps and it's correctly detected in the main window.:confused:
I tested with an extract and the resulting mkv is well in 23.976 fps, thus I really don't understand why there is 25 fps in the script, it does not seem to make effect (hopefully).

[Selur]

You should know by know that I would need a debug output to give detailed information about what is happening.
Assuming the input is 1280x720 and it's detected as such with a PAR of 1:1 and Blu-ray compatibility is enabled, Hybrid should stick with a PAR 1:1, but from what I read it seems like Hybrid is doing something else. :)
Normally 25fps should only be used for 720x... not for ...x720 content.
-> like I wrote, I need details

[Music Fan]

Just open an avs script including a 1280*720p video in 23.976 fps (or create this script with a different video and use resize and assumefps) and look at the command line in x264, you should get the same result than me.
I use the last Hybrid version.

Here is the log after opening the avs and choosing the x264 profile ;

Normally 25fps should only be used for 720x... not for ...x720 content.
1280*720 in 25 fps is ok on most players in AVCHD and Blu-ray structures. Anyway, my file is in 23.976 fps and also works on my player.

AavsInfo properly reports:

-> can't reproduce the issue here :(

Inside the "Crop/Resize->Main" Tab for me:

'Picture Crop' is disabled
"Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) -> Convert output to PAR" is enabled (grayed out) and set to 'Square Pixel (1:1)'
'Resize' is enabled(&grayed out),
'Resize->Auto adjust' is enabled (&grayed out) and set to 'height' and mod '16',
'Resize->Target resolution' is set to 1280x720 (the later grayed out).

Do you have any option enabled which would change the frame rate? (i.e. something under "Filtering->Speed Settings", "Filtering->(De-)Interlace/Telecine", "Filtering->Avisynth->Custom" or "Filtering->Avisynth->Frame") ?

Cu Selur

Ps.: Or did you enable something in the 'Crop/Resize->Misc'-Tab ?

[Music Fan]

Yes, "adjust keep resize for source" was checked, I unchecked it.
Now I see --fps 24000/1001 but the output PAR is again on 1412 x 1000 (grayed out) :confused:
But that's maybe not a problem because "convert output to PAR" is enabled (grayed out) and set to 'Square Pixel (1:1)'.

'Resize' is enabled(&grayed out),
'Resize->Auto adjust' is enabled (&grayed out) and set to 'height' and mod '16',
'Resize->Target resolution' is set to 1280x720 (the later grayed out).
Same for me.

So, how to know if a resize is done or not ? Can it happen if the output resolution is the same than the input resolution ?

[Selur]

So, how to know if a resize is done or not
resize is only done if crop size != resize size

but the output PAR is again on 1412 x 1000 (grayed out)
+
"convert output to PAR" is enabled (grayed out) and set to 'Square Pixel (1:1)'.
-> confused

Not knowing if something else is enabled which should not be enabled for your target, I would recommend to reset to the defaults of Hybrid.

[Music Fan]

I can't do more than post the debug output, thus you should find where does this problem come from.

What will I loose if I reset everything ?
Anyway, I chose x264 Hybrid default but PAR is still on 1412 x 1000.:confused: And there is a resize : 912 * 720 which is a nonsense.

And I never change any setting, except for bitrate and stuff like that.

edit : if I change the setting beside "convert the output PAR" (which is set to 'Square Pixel (1:1)'), then come back to 'Square Pixel (1:1)', the output PAR change from 1412 x 1000 to 1 x 1.

resize is only done if crop size != resize size
I guess it means different.

Something else : in filtering tab, the input and ouput frame counts are different : 138668 and 138653, why ?

[Selur]

Hybrid rev 2015.08.26.1:

*fixed*

audio: extracting pcm_bluray audio with ffmpeg, buy making sure a conversion to the right pcm format is used
audio: ffmpeg->qaac, channel dropping due to wrong input format specification
audio: limit fhgaacenc vbr to 1-5 since 6 doesn't seem to work
general: limit output precision (e.g. 1.4 did end up as 1.3999999999999 with QT 5.5 sometimes otherwise)
input: mkv-asp-workaround adjustment
input: NVEncC 'hevc', removed level&profile setting
tools: windows build contained mplayer&mencoder build which were missing some libraries (e.g. libdvdread)
x264/x265: minimize command line


*added*

crop: added 'use FFmpeg'-option to the autocrop options
avisynth: control over which matrix is used during RGB->YUV conversions
internal: handling of avisynth through ffmpeg, to handle non Yv12 color spaces


*changed*

general: changed to MSVC 2015 as compiler for the Windows builds and compiling under Windows 10


Note: Windows users should deinstall any old Hybrid version before installing this build

[Music Fan]

Ps.: 'in filtering tab, the input and ouput frame counts are different : 138668 and 138653, why ? ' -> rounding
Why is it rounded ? Do you mean there isn't any change and no frame is actually discarded ?

[Selur]

Hybrid calculates the frame number from playback length and frame rate, then deinterlacing&co gets applied, which might also change the frame count.
Frame count isn't THAT important to Hybrid it just needs a relatively close number to calculate bitrate&co a difference in frame count which is less than one second of content doesn't really do much in regard of predictions&co.
(as a side note: there's isn't really much of a choice in this regard since mplayer/ffmpeg/mediainfo do not show the frame count of a source that often)

Try if it works if you use an x265 version from: http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/357754-%5BHEVC%5D-x265-EXE-mingw-builds?p=2406588&viewfull=1#post2406588

NUMA is only available from Win7 upwards c. it seems like https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite only uses the according patches to disable NUMA support if it is build on Windows XP,.. -> made a feature requires to media-autobuild_suite (https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite/issues/139))

for the future, see: http://www.selur.de/support
(as a side note: if you are trying to feed Hybrid a encrypted DVD, there are bound to be problems since for example, MediaInfo won't report interlacing&co informations about such content)

One side effect of a debug output is: I know the OS and Hybrid version that is used and can once I fix a bug, send the user a fixed version. ;)

[Music Fan]

Hi,
there is a problem with version 2015.07.11.1 : I encoded a video in 23.976 fps through an avs script and the mkv produced by Hybrid is in 23.976 fps too but is supposed to have an "original framerate" of 25 fps (I see it in MediaInfo).:confused:
TSmuxer also consider this video as 25 fps.
The original video (mkv) is in 23.976 fps (and does not have an "original framerate" of 25 fps), and my script does not change the framerate, I even added AssumeFPS(24000, 1001) to be sure that the framerate could not be misinterpreted.

Why does Hybrid add this wrong information in the video stream ?
That's strange because Hybrid detects the correct framerate (23.976 fps) in the main window and also in the filtering tab (container and output framerate are 23.976 fps).:confused:

When I demux the re-encoded mkv with MKVextract, the detected framerate of the elementary stream is 25 fps :o
If I remux it in MKV, I specify 24000/1001 but the resulting mkv has the same problem than the one produced by Hybrid.
Is there a way to remove this wrong framerate without re-encoding ? That's a big file and I don't want to re-encode it.

edit : TSmuxer can change the framerate and the resulting ts does not have anymore an original framerate of 25 fps, but I hope I won't have to do it every time I encode in 23.976 fps.

How to avoid this problem ?

[Selur]

Looks like mkvmerge cant properly mix x265 with profile 4.1 main main. It endless writing file, the resulting mkv is currently 10gb for 50mb camera video input.
Could anybode confirm? Win 7 64 bit, latest hybrid.

There is a bug (missing feature) in mkvmerge which causes to choke on some H.265 files reported it to Moritz (mkvtoolnix author) a while back, iirc he knew about the problem, but didn't know how to fix it at that time.
-> your best hope is to provide Moritz with a sample an a guide how to reproduce the problem.

Seeing from my email notification that you wanted to link to an image (which I can't see), my guess is that it's related to the ffmpeg version, see: http://forum.selur.de/topic982-v102120151-crashes-after-install.html

It works using the latest 64 bit build from:
http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

[Selur]

I know (was also mentioned inside the post I linked to), but that doesn't really help. Since it works for me with the version from the installer also.
Tried the binary I compiled, the installer I uploaded and the installer on my homepage to make sure there was no problem with the transfer or packaging.
Even tested the installer and the startup in a Windows XP VM, no problem there either. :(
Also tried Windows 10 32bit and 64bit again, no problem there either -> no clue why this is happening, my guess is that it might be related to nvenc and qsv support being enabled for the 64bit builds.
-> does the ffmpeg_32.exe work properly for you?

Hi, Selur. I'm having A/V sync issues with this (http://www38.zippyshare.com/v/OGJopGL8/file.html) source, only when i use QTGMC to deinterlace it. Can you help me, please?

[Selur]

Q. Is mplayer preview doesn't work with avisyth denoiser by design for mov files?
No, but Avisynth is disabled inside the normal preview by default. (Config->Internals->Avisynth->No Avisynth during Preview)
It normally is recommend to use the Avisynth Preview to preview the effect of avisynth filters.

My case hybrid doesn't delete file 2242185473mov_72d7b15367ff44c3462c9a39f1153e70_5249.ffindex
Index file should be deleted once Hybrid closes.

Hi, Selur. I'm having A/V sync issues with this source, only when i use QTGMC to deinterlace it. Can you help me, please?
seems to work fine here, see: http://www.embedupload.com/?d=5DCBOVGTZG
Loaded the source used the default QTGMC settings, set audio handling to passthrough. (might be a problem of FFVideoSource and or LibavSource; using DGDecNV here)

[cybersharky]

I did some more testing, I deleted ffmpeg.exe made a copy of ffmpeg_32.exe renamed to ffmpeg.exe, launched hybrid and it worked.

[den78]

Thanks, but LWLibavVideoSource seems to be forced. How can i change that? Avisynth custom option?
Using the latest Hybrid version btw.

[Selur]

lwlibavvideosource is probably forced since the intput is interlaced and inside a ts container.
-> no way around that atm. (forced that a while back since ffvideosource has more problems with interlaced content then lwlibavvideosource )

[Selur]

Had another look at the file and the timecodes of that file are all over the place.
So what I did was :
1. remux the file with Hybrid to mkv (with Config->Automation->On Load->Always extract timecodes form mp4/mk/flv files !disabled! - which is the default), this will drop the current timecodes and generate new ones
2. reencoded that file
and even with libav as filter the output is sync :)

[alter4]

No, but Avisynth is disabled inside the normal preview by default. (Config->Internals->Avisynth->No Avisynth during Preview)

Index file should be deleted once Hybrid closes.


1) Enable Avisynth during Preview doesn't help for my case(but works for other files other then MOVs from my camera), filter preview doesn't work.

Step to reproduce:
a Apply my config I attached in
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1744350&postcount=2576 but uncheck "No Avisynth during Preview"
b Open sample file
c Open filter preview, see it doesn't work
d See after enable "Avisynth during Preview" even preview on Main page doesn't work

2) Again in my case hybrid doesn't delete ffindex file after closing.

Step to reproduce:
a Apply my config I attached in
http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=1744350&postcount=2576
b Open sample file
c Add job to queue
d run queue
e close hybrid
f see ffindex file is not deleted

So basically, what you're saying is that i should just enable that option? Did that and it's still out of sync.
Even when remuxed through mkvtoolnix the encoded file gets out of sync, with or without that option.

[Selur]

@den78: No you should not enable the option or remux with mkvtoolnix.
You should remux with Hybrid, when you use mkvtoolnix the timecodes will be kept as they are.
-> remux with Hybrid, then reencode the resulting file.

@alter4: if you want to share your config, please save it as a global profile, this way it won't destroy my own settings and I won't have to read all the xml files.
Encoded to x264 2pass and 1pass crf and the ffindex file was properly deleted after the job was processed. (file will not be deleted if the job gets aborted or crashes)

And how do i do that without encoding it first? Sorry, but not seeing that option.:confused:

Edit: Ok, i think i got it. Passtrough, right? But i get "Output frame count returned zero!" & Hybrid crashes.

Edit 2: made it with the other sample from the same source & the output is still out of sync.

By setting audio&video handling to passthrough :)

Hi, I got the latest installer today and when starting Hybrid i get msg saying "get tool versions got an empty output for ffmpeg the cause amy be that file could not be found,..... pls redo this with debug enabled and tell author"

I cant run hybrid , therefore cant set debug option....i also did a complete uninstal/ reinstal of hybrid, same.

Win 8.1 Pro N 64 bit

cheers.

[DJ-1]

update: just tried the most most recent Test version (that I have) (that was working fine yesterday) and that now give same error msg.

so its ever since running the latest installer

[DJ-1]

....ok, so was just looking at the the tools etc nt the programs file DIR and if double clicked they run (ffmpeg_32 , flac etc etc ) but if i try n run ffmpeg.exe i get a generic windows msg says "ffmpeg.exe has stopped working...a problem a has caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will now close it and notify if theres a solution"

maybe a bad ffmpeg.exe file i have?
thanks.

[Selur]

yuo, problem is with the 64bit ffmpeg.exe

[DJ-1]

yeah...

[Selur]

Problem is I'm not sure which extension is causing the problems, since for me the binary runs fine on all my systems. :(

[DJ-1]

do you have the ffmpeg.exe file you can send me?, ill try it..
cheers.

[DJ-1]

ok, found the file from here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/?source=typ_redirect

copied the 1 file from zip, al fine now.
i can only assume a bad file in the installer?, i did try n re-download the installer but was the same.
anyhow, all good now.

cheers.

[Selur]

The ffmpeg.exe which comes with Hybrid works fine for me.
For users with the problem the ffmpeg binaries from zeranoe work fine.

[DJ-1]

ok cool, only went where i did as i see in the `Sources.txt`in Hybrid DIR, so thought it was the preffered version, yep Zernoe one works also.

is there a prefference to use with hybrid ?, (i just got the latest static v of zeranoe).

thanks.

[Selur]

none, 64bit version should be fine as ffmpeg.exe on 64bit OS

[DJ-1]

Cheers.

Dev fixed the error but not the sync problem. I'm really confused here, your encode looked perfect. Maybe if you can send me your Hybrid settings so i can see what i'm missing.
& just to say it again, it only happens with qtgmc, without it it's in perfect sync.

[Selur]

without it it's in perfect sync.
Have you tried another Avisynth based deinterlacer?

My settings are the default settings,..

[den78]

Have you tried another Avisynth based deinterlacer?

Yes, i have tried yadif & had no problem. BUT i want QTGMC. :(

Edit: sorry, it was not avisynth based. It seems that avisynth based deinterlacer is the problem, just checked it.

[Selur]

"Yadif" = done through ffmpeg or mencoder
OR
"Yadif (Avisynth)" = applied through avisynth
-> make sure you try "Yadif (Avisynth)" otherwise we don't know whether this is a decoder or a deinterlacer problem.

Also, have you remuxed the file (with the timecode extraction disabled)? Did the new file then still play sync ? Did you then reencode that file?

Cu Selur

[den78]

Did all that & the result is still not good. Btw, with yadif avisynth i get this & it's out of sync too.
http://i.imgur.com/Q7bsuOW.png?1

& btw, remuxed file in mkv plays like the original ts, so no problem there.

[Selur]

Here's how I produce a sync file, step-by-step from your sample:

Reset Hybrid defaults ('Config->Defaults->Reset->All' + 'Reset selected'), to make sure no unwanted setting is interfering
After the restart, I loaded your test.ts file
Set 'Main->Handling->Video handling' to 'passthrough'
Set 'Main->Handling->Audio handling' to 'passthrough all'
Set the output file (Main->Output file) to h:\remux.mkv
pressed 'Main->Add to queue'
pressed 'Jobs->Job Queue->Start'
cleared the Job Queue after the processing was done.
Loaded the 'h:\remux.mkv'
Set 'Main->Handling->Video handling' to 'x264'
disabled 'Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Misc->Support DGDecNV' ; this option is only available if DGDecNV (with it's dependencies) are present in avisynthPlugins-folder, since I assume that is not the case for you I disabled the option
checked the Avisynth script to make sure which decoder was used (Filtering->Avisynth->Show current Avisynth script'

Now your output file looks like mine, it's not in sync. :)
& as you can see there is a frame drop in the first second of the video. So i think there lies the problem.

[Selur]

Now your output file looks like mine, it's not in sync.
Then libav can't handle the file. :)
-> only workaround for that is to use DGDevNV. :/

Seems so. :( Thanks for your kind help. :)

[Selur]

You might also want to report the problem in the LibAvSource-thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=167435), assuming replacing the LSMASHSource.dll inside the avisynthPlugins-folder with the latest one, doesn't help.

Cu Selur

[Groucho2004]

Okay, didn't know that AVSMeter nowadays requires that dll, you can copy it from the avisynthplugins folder.
What? This has nothing to do with AVSMeter but missing dependencies for one or more plugins in the auto-load directory. Avisynth will throw errors about missing dependencies once you initialize IScriptEnvironment.

[tola5]

HI I have encoding some files my blu-ray from makemkv then with hybrid but one of the movies I get crash what can it be ? alle the other file work

Since Hybrid does not install avisynth into the system, there's probably not much I can do about that (I could change some environment variables, but that wouldn't hinder avisynth from looking for some avisynth folder installed by another application,...)

hi selur, how to change audio to 2.0 channels?
i have download video, with 8.0 channels, and encoding using hybrid with these setting
- check reencode
- Qaac
- aac, high efficency
- DRC: film standard
- Downmix: to stereo

and the result is still 8 channel,
please help me, thank you

[Selur]

Normally the 'to stereo' downmix should work, assuming you didn't mess up (by not adding your settings to the audio queue), this should be a bug which I can only fix with a debug output of the analysis of the source and of the job creation (job processing is not necessary).

thanks, working now

next question:
how to get only stereo 2channel audio with FDK?

my setting:
-FDK
-AAC
-High Efficency v2, downmix: toStereo
-Bitrate: 64Kbit/s

and the result is:
Channel(s) : 2 channels / 1 channel / 1 channel
Channel positions : Front: L R / Front: C / Front: C
Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz / 48.0 KHz / 24.0 KHz

trying change downmix: Don't change and get same result
is this stereo or mono? :confused:

[Selur]

It's stereo, assuming you use a HE-AACv2 (SBR+PS) capable decoder.

Complain to the MediaInfo confusing output:
'2 channels / 1 channel / 1 channel' probably wants to say that:
if you use:
- a decoder with HE-AACv2 (SBR+PS) capable decoder and you'll get Stereo at 48 KHz.
- a decode which only supports HE-AAC (SBR), but not HE-AACv2 (PS), you'll get Mono at 48 KHz.
- a decode which only supports LC-AAC, but neither SBR nor PS, you'll get Mono at 24 KHz.
note that this behavior is normal for HE-AACv2 (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametric_Stereo)
-> no bug, seems more like you didn't know what you were doing :)

sorry, have you been able to reproduce my issues on your side mentioned in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1744702#post1744702 (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1744702#post1744702) ?
I don't expect any quick fixes, just want to make sure I provided all necessary info.

[Selur]

Still not sure what ffindex file didn't get deleted for you,..
If I encode to x264 or x265 the ffindex file get's deleted properly during the job processing.
If I open your file and look at it inside the avisynth filtering view (otherwise there shouldn't be a ffindex file, sinde avisynth is disabled during, normal mplayer based, preview) a ffindex file gets created that gets deleted when I close Hybrid.
-> no clue what to do

[alter4]

Does filter mplayer preview work properly for you with the config and file?

UPD. you mentioned >>sinde avisynth is disabled during, normal mplayer based, preview)
What do you mean? I have enabled avisynth during preview, I save global config from my current setting and they are http://i65.fastpic.ru/big/2015/1031/c1/92a358722f98dab909f87e9ebf25bfc1.jpg

Yes, you did, but I did not. :)
An no, normal preview doesn't work, but the ffindex gets for me deleted when I close Hybrid independent of that.

Does it work if you disable the post processing in the filter options (this should cause Hybrid to use ffmpeg instead of mencoder vor avisynth)

Other possibilities:
a. another avisynth installation (especially a non Avisynth MT one) is interfering
b. the avisynth preview doesn't work also due to a problem with the avisynth script on your system.

[den78]

Hi, Selur.
My source is 720x576i. I'm resizing it to 1024x576 & 768x576 (Square pixel 1:1, resize: lanczos).
And the output file always has a patched display resolution. For example: 768x576 is 838x576. So in order to fix it i must remux the file with mkvtoolnix to correct the AR.

This didn't happen with the earlier versions.:confused:

[Selur]

Without a debug output that sounds more like a 'user not properly using Hybrid' than a bug.

[den78]

Debug sent. :)

[Selur]

Okay PAR of the input is: "Pixel aspect ratio : 1.455" which Hybrid identified as '16:11' according to the debug output you set resize to 1024x576 but didn't change the PAR, thus Hybrid sticks to the PAR of the input.

So, what you probably did was:

Enable "Crop/Resize->Main->Resize"
Disabled "Crop/Resize->Main->Picture Resize->Auto adjust"
Set "Crop/Resize->Main->Picture Resize->Target resolution" to 1024x576

which distorted the image by resizing without taking the PAR into account.

What you probably wanted was:

Load source
Enable "Crop/Resize->Main->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->OutputPAR->Convert output PAR to" and select "Square (1:1)"
Keep "Crop/Resize->Main->Picture Resize->Auto adjust" enabled
Set the first parameter (the width) of "Crop/Resize->Main->Picture Resize->Target resolution" to 1024


-> Doesn't seem like a bug in Hybrid.

I've got a few questions regarding Hybrid

1) Is there any way to import x264 megui profiles?

2)How do I make a sample encode,say, 1 min?



Thank you

[Selur]

Is there any way to import x264 megui profiles?
Not, directly dropped the support for that quite a while ago since the profiles were a real mess back then.
You can however copy the command line for MeGui and import it under x264->Misc->Import/Additions->Command line->Import.
How do I make a sample encode,say, 1 min?
You could try the experimental cut support under Config->Internals->Cut Support (make sure to read the tooltips)

[Vesdaris]

I see. thanx.

Could you help me out with something, please?

It seems I'm having a problem with one file.. I captured a streaming video (52+min, 28GB) using lagarith codec and I tried encoding it to x264 however, the file I got is just 40 sec in length and there is no picture there.Just all kinds of colors keep flashing.

Before that I had encoded a small sample I captured using the same tool I use to capture my screen and the same codec)x264) and hybrid encoded it just fine.

I don't understand what happened with the last file..It plays fine when I open it in video players.

Here is hybrid log and the original file mediainfo

http://pastebin.com/fCjrTWLr


PPS Hmmm..it's very strange..now it seems to be working OK...Maybe it's because I set Decoding to "Prefer ffmpeg"..I dunno..

Hybrids Log doesn't help much (normally a debug output is the best way to go, see the support page on how to create one), my guess is that the problem was due to a problem/bug with mencoder and OpenDML avi files unless one explicitly uses demuxer lavf (see: https://trac.mplayerhq.hu/ticket/2255), problem should be fixed in the next release and for the mean time using "Prefer FFmpeg..." or "Always use Avisynth ..." should fix the problem.

[Vesdaris]

Thanx for your help, Selur. Much appreciated.

And it looks like I'll need it once more (I'm really sorry for bothering you again and again ;(

First, I'm having out of sync issues with the same file, even with audio set to passthrough.(that is if hybrid doesn't crash in the process) but if Im not mistaken if it happens there is no indnexing done at all, I think, because -->>

Second, I'm getting constantly QProcess::Crashed after ffmpeg gets done indexing the source file.

Here is my log (http://rghost.net/8VYFDhBdc)(debug mode enabled) in the end I got "QProcess::Crashed"

Cheers

PS Why does hybrid always extract audio to wav? Even if it is set to passthrough(always extract to wav option is disabled)

[Selur]

Crash happens because the decoder crashed (QProcess::Crashed it just the Qt way for handling).
Looking at the avisynth script:
LoadCPlugin("K:\games\Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\ffms2.dll")
# loading source: K:\aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa\bandicam 2015-11-26 19-51-54-884.avi
FFVideoSource("K:\AAAAAA~1\BANDIC~1.AVI",cachefile="K:\00000000000\01_57_36_5910.ffindex",fpsnum=24000,fpsden=1001)
return last
The problem seems to be FFVideoSource having trouble with the source file, try if enabling "Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->LibavVideoSource instead fo FFmpegSource" helps with this source.

About the sync issue, you can test if using LibavVideoSource also helps if not try if enabling "Config->Automation->On Load->Always extract timecodes ..." with this source.

Why does hybrid always extract audio to wav? Even if it is set to passthrough(always extract to wav option is disabled)
Since the audio is PCM, saving it inside a wav header is kind of the normal way to do, don't the anything wrong there.

[Vesdaris]

Selur

LibavVideoSource instead fo FFmpegSource" helps with this source.

It seems to have helped with indexing (I guess, coz hybrid never indicated it was indexing, I only saw mencoder doing something for a while in the task manager, low CPU usage and only after that actual encoding started)

The audio is still out of sync though even with "Always extract timecodes " enabled.(I didn't see hybrid extracting them either unlike when it does it via ffmpeg) I manually fixed audio delay later

Is Megui's FFMS indexing the same as FFMpeg that crashed in hybrid? I managed to index and encode just fine this source file in megui

FFMS thread count is set to 1 in Megui and the tooltip says that anything but 1 may lead to crashes. I tried setting it to 1 in hybrid but it doesn't let you do it. (min=2).

PS It looks like Filtering->Misc->Misc->Disable distributor()" has helped in regard to crashes.I had also extract timecodes enabled.. however.. the resulting file was encoded at.. 1000000 fps LOL

After timecodes extractions got done I got this:


Current frame rate: 23.976 differs from average time code frame rate: 999.763 this is ignored since 'Check average fps of mkv/mp4 files' is disabled.
but if ti was disabled how come I got 1mil frames..hmm

it can be fixed easily manually but it is really strange.


PPS Anyways, I have now
- prefer ffmpeg
- disable distributor
- ffmpeg threads=2
- prefer ffmpegsource (avisynth)

enabled, no timecodes, and I just need manually fix a bit audio delay, after that everything seems to be ok

[Selur]

Is Megui's FFMS indexing the same as FFMpeg that crashed in hybrid? I managed to index and encode just fine this source file in megui
The indexing it done by ffmpegsource and yes this should be the same in Hybrid and Megui

[Vesdaris]

Could you,please, give some advice on AAC encoding settings (films\tv series)? I want to make audio louder and maybe some other "nice" stuff . I'm not downmixing\resampling, it's 2 channel PCM

What's your recommendations on gain\normalize\drc?

Thank you.

[Selur]

Since films/tv series are normally already properly mastered I would only set Gain to auto

[Vesdaris]

Since films/tv series are normally already properly mastered I would only set Gain to auto

Unfortunately auto mode didn't make it considerably louder. What if I need manually change gain? What should I choose there for 2 channel stereo?

Thanx

[Selur]

a. you might want to read: http://forum.selur.de/topic239-info-understanding-the-audio-gain-methods.html
b. you can always set a manual gain and set a manual gain (but this might lead to clipping)
c. if you are aware of the difference between normalizing to a specific dB-Level to applying a gain and that is what you want, you can instead of using 'gain' also use 'Normalize to (dB)'.

Cu Selur

[den78]

@Selur
It seems that normalizing doesn't work in the new version.

I'm using these settings
http://i.imgur.com/R2s294b.png

& with those same settings, same FDK encoder version, the audio is considerably louder in v2015.5.10.1

Please check it.

Btw, i fixed my resolution patching issue. Had to reselect the "square pixels". In the previous versions that was not the default option & that's why it worked.

[Selur]

In the previous versions that was not the default option & that's why it worked.
Haven't touched that code part for more than 6 month,.. and haven't changed the defaults for more than a year. ;)

I'm using these settings
those settings should do nothing,... :)

[den78]

those settings should do nothing,... :)
But the difference is obvious.
You can see it for yourself in mpc-hc (default audio settings)

Haven't touched that code part for more than 6 month,.. and haven't changed the defaults for more than a year. ;)
In the new version (fresh install), when you switch video handling, it defaults to square pixels & the custom option disappears.

[Selur]

In the new version (fresh install), when you switch video handling, it defaults to square pixels & the custom option disappears.
that's a bug -> will fix (seems like there is a bug in loading some of the dropdown values properly :/)

[Vesdaris]

For some reason when I check file info via mediainfo (latest version) there is no information on video and audio bitrates(mkv container). Do I need to enable\disable something specific i HYbrid options?

[Selur]

Hybrid does nothing to remove any SEI infos x264, x265 or other encoders might have saved inside the stream.
You can see the command lines Hybrid uses inside the Jobs-tab if you disable 'Jobs->Job Queue->Minimize command lines'.
My guess is that something during whatever you do with Hybrid drops those infos assuming they were present to start with.
(I didn't write any code to do that intentionally. :))

Cu Selur

[Vesdaris]

Ahh OK ;))

Selur, I'm having a problem trying to encode audio to AC3. HYbrid simply doesn't do it at all. Here is my log (http://rghost.net/8bJZy8qnr)

PS And aften is greyed out in audio window although it is present in hybrid folder

[Selur]

I see the problem, will fix. (output extension isn't set properly)

[Vesdaris]

Cool ;) Any workaround for this?

Thanx

[Selur]

nope (other then using aften for ac3 enocding) :)

[Vesdaris]

nope (other then using aften for ac3 enocding) :)


You mean directly using a command line or via hybrid GUI(It's not available for some reason) ?

Anyways, I did it via megui :D

[Selur]

You mean via hybrid GUI? It's not available for some reason.
There should be a GroupBox 'Use aften, for encoding and signaling' when you select ac3 as audio format.
btw. I send you a link to fixed version a while ago,...

[Vesdaris]

I send you a link to fixed version a while ago,...

Oh, I didn't notice lol. Thanx a lot.

here should be a GroupBox 'Use aften, for encoding and signaling' when you select ac3 as audio format.

Yeah, there is a box but I can't enable it.(I haven't tried the test version yet coz the old one is encoding stuff.)

[Selur]

Yeah, there is a box but I can't enable it
Okay, that is new. Got no problem enabling it.

[Vesdaris]

Here how it looks
http://i.imgur.com/xPk3U0U.jpg

Once I'm done encoding I'll check the test build just in case. I'm running hybrid as admin otherwise it complains about not being able to open\create something , I dont remember) when I launch it.(win 10 64)

[Selur]

'm running hybrid as admin otherwise it complains about not being able to open\create something , I dont remember)
you should never have to run Hybrid as admin (the installer needs admin rights, but that's it)!
(also send you another pm)

[Vesdaris]

[trugulum78]

Hi! First of all thanks for your great work and soryy for my bad english.
I want to know how can I fix the"Disabled avisynth support,since the version file is not present" in linux version. I have checked the file in wine and is correct but can't find it in linux folders.
Thanks in advance.

[Selur]

Did you use the repository and install avisynth (hybrid-avisynth-extension) through it?

[trugulum78]

I'm in arch,is there a easy way to do it?
Thanks for your quick answer.

PD: I think I got it with the misc.ini file,but now I have an error in wine,it says "An application has made an attemp to load vcomp.dll incorrectly"

[Selur]

I assume you did create a custom misc.ini to tell Hybrid that it should look for avisynth and there to find the avisynthPlugins folder?
for example:
[General]
avisynthOnLinux=true
avisynthExtensionPath="/home/alex/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/avisynthPlugins
And your avisynthPlugins folder contains the avisynthPlugins folder of the "Avisynth extension"-download and you also made sure Hybrid knows where to find avs2yuv, avsViewer, avsInfo ?

[trugulum78]

Exactly but mine point to /home/trugulum/.wine/drive_c/windows/syswow64/avisynthPlugins

[Selur]

An application has made an attemp to load vcomp.dll incorrectly
That sounds like a problem with the wine setup, got no clue what's causing it.

[trugulum78]

Ok, i'm going to make a test in a VM instalation.
Thanks for your time.

[trugulum78]

Well I have all working now,but when I open an avs file hybrid says me"Didn't find a 'Frame rate' info node! -> stream will be ignored".I used to work with x264 in cli and don't know if this is a noob question.
Have I to load specific module for that?
Thanks in advance and sorry for the massive questions.
PD: I install all with the djcj ppa (Thanks to him too)

[Selur]

The message normally appears if Hybrid can't find any frame rate infos with mediaInfo, avsInfo, ffmpeg, mplayer or tsMuxeR.
-> would need a debug output to give better pointers (see: http://www.selur.de/support)

[trugulum78]

Sorry for the late answer.
I made some test today and in cli with wine + avs2yuv + x264 all is working fine,but with hybrid is not working. Maybe the .exe paths?
Here is the log.
Again,thanks for your attention.

[Selur]

best upload the debug output somewhere else otherwise it might take a few days for a. a moderator to approve the attachment and b. me noticing that it was approved ;)

[trugulum78]

I uploaded it to MEGA:
https://mega.nz/#!pFIXjJ6T!46VBDx4FbbtGIJCLIh5F9-tblU71xVkJHUuWa216UUY

[Selur]

Problem is that:
wine "/home/trugulum/.hybrid/avsInfo.exe" "/home/trugulum/Videos/input.avs"
can't analyse the script you used as input (btw. why create an avisynth script outside of Hybrid and not let Hybrid do it for you?)

[trugulum78]

When I create it inside hybrid and add to jobs, I can start it,it stays waiting.
If I call my avs with avsinfo in cli it says me:
[trugulum@despacho ~]$ wine "/home/trugulum/.hybrid/avsInfo.exe" "/home/trugulum/Videos/input.avs"
err:module:import_dll Library Qt5Core.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\trugulum\\.hybrid\\avsInfo.exe") not found
err:module:import_dll Library MSVCP140.dll (which is needed by L"Z:\\home\\trugulum\\.hybrid\\avsInfo.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"Z:\\home\\trugulum\\.hybrid\\avsInfo.exe" failed, status c0000135

The script is the created by hybrid and copied from "show current script"

[Selur]

The avisynthExtension, package should include all the dependencies for avsInfo and avsViewer,.... (next release will probably have less dependencies, since I won't compile it with MSVC 2015)

[alter4]

Actually what is the purpose of Avisynth Extension? Avysynth works for me without any extensions only using usual windows installer.

[Selur]

extension comes with:

avsInfo, which can be used to analyse avisynth scripts
avsViewer, which can be used to preview avisynth scripts
avs2yuv, which can be used to pipe avisynth scripts to other applications as raw yuv content
AVSMeter, which can be used to benchmark scripts
all the avisynth plugins, which I'm allowed to deploy with Hybrid and which are supported through Hybrid
the avisynth.dll of Avisynth 2.6 MT

If you are using a Windows version, all these already come with the Hybrid installer, but if you are on Linux or Mac they don't since setting up wine&co for all the different distributions and mac versions is way to much trouble.
(for Debian based systems djcj created a repository, which comes with all the dependencies an has it's own installation routine, but for Mac and all other Linux distribution, getting Avisynth working isn't that easy)

Cu Selur

[alter4]

Thank you. Gotcha.

[Havokdan]

Bsod in my Windows 10 x64, kernel security check, doesnt open.

[Selur]

@Havokdan: That's strange I develop under Windows 10 x64. Wouldn't know how Hybrid could trigger a blue screen other that some driver is broken due to an upgrade to Windows 10.

@all: Does anyone else have this problem on Win10 ?

[Havokdan]

I installed the latest version, when I click to launch the application, the window of the splash screen starts to load and gives the BSOD.

[Selur]

If you upgraded from an older Hybrid version, try if it helps to fully deinstall the older version before installing the current version.
Tried to reproduce this on my main system and a VM, couldn't reproduce the issue.
Normally a program shouldn't cause a blue screen, blue screens are normally either caused by hardware or driver issues.

https://neosmart.net/wiki/kernel-security-check-error/ might also be helpful, especially checking the "Check error log with Event Viewer".

[Havokdan]

It was a clean installation.

[Selur]

Clean install, may be NVEncC or QSVEncC is causing this,..
a. try if it helps to install the latest drivers for your CPU&GPU
b. try if it helps to remove QSVEncC and NVEncC from the Hybrid folder

[Havokdan]

option "a", always use lastest drivers, i`ll try "b"

[Havokdan]

Problem solved, was a problem with drivers, just don't know which, I updated with an application called driver booster and worked.

[Selur]

Happy that solved the problem for you.

[alter4]

Much water has flowed under the bridge since my last encoding, I am returned from hospital, I am alive:) and again started to reencode my phone and camera video. I couldn't help facing issue :-)
When I press avisynth preview something something strange happens but preview works.

try this (http://www.selur.de/sites/default/files/hybrid_downloads/test/avsViewer.7z), replacing the old avsViewer build, with that version should fix the problem.

[alter4]

Quick fix rocks, thanks! BTW I understand what was issue
>>std::cout an std::cerr got mixed
but this thing got unexpected continuation)) It reminded me 2005 year when I was noob and used "alert()" to debug javascript, I floated on the waves of memory for a few night hours remembering that glorious time.

[alter4]

Played with avisynth denoise fillers to evaluate them and noticed:
1. Deathray filter doesn't work, gives avisynth error even for default settings.
2. Selecting Deen(new) leaves setting pane from previous filter.
3. NLMeansCL2 says it knows DEVICE "default", error for other dropdown values.
4. SetMTMode(5,16) formed for "MT-threads" 0 which is default option in "avisynth misc" give me freezes with fft3dfilter. I have to manually set "MT-threads" to 8 (own core i7 cpu).

[Selur]

No clue whats the issue with Deathray, even a simple:
LoadCPlugin("G:\Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\ffms2.dll")
LoadPlugin("G:\Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\Deathray.dll")
# loading source: F:\TestClips&Co\test.avi
FFVideoSource("F:\TESTCL~1\test.avi",cachefile="H:\Temp\avi_0197468a3716844ade54f3f30f60eeda_491.ffindex",fpsnum=25)
# denoising
Deathray()
doesn't work anymore,... seems like something with the OpenCL support changed, some further checking showed that Virtual Dub reports:
Avisynth read error: Deathray: Copy Y to Device status=7 and OpenCL status = -36
-> will look into it over the weekend and if I can't find a solution remove DeathRay

Regarding Deen(new) -> can reproduce will fix :)
Regarding NLClMeans -> looks like a OpenCL issue, will remove the Device option
Regarding the SetMTMode setting, I know some filters have problems with CoreCount*2 threads, will probably reduce it to CoreCount threads, since I'm to lazy to try which filters have problems with it and which don't

Cu Selur

[alter4]

Thanks. Let's make best product even better! :)
P.S.

Noticed SetMTMode is present in formed script twice for FFT3DFilter. Don't know what it might affect. Is it as designed?

[Selur]

Noticed SetMTMode is present in formed script twice for FFT3DFilter. Don't know what it might affect. Is it as designed?
Yes, that is as intended, btw. it might also help to disable the distributor
1st SetMTMode always has two parameters MT-Mode and Thread count,
all following SetMTMode calls will only change the MT-Mode (Thread count can't be changed after the first call, see: http://avisynth.nl/index.php/MT)
(I sometimes have scripts where the mode gets changed a lot more, 5-6 times ;))

[alter4]

Disable distributor helps, but speed is lower than with simple SetMTMode(5,8).
Also noticed "warn if config changed" option doesn't watch (at least) for changing x265 profiles and and avysynth misc tab.

[Selur]

Also noticed "warn if config changed" option doesn't watch (at least) for changing x265 profiles and and avysynth misc tab.

[alter4]

Actually what distributor() does? Quick search doesn't help me to understand. Is it something like join point for threads?

[Selur]

Some applications need distributor() to fully use the MT modes, others might slow down since the thread count might be multiplied by itself so instead of 8, 8*8 threads would be used. :)

[Selur]

Also noticed "warn if config changed" option doesn't watch (at least) for changing x265 profiles and and avysynth misc tab.
Read the tool-tip:
Warn if Config changed:
When enabled Hybrid will compare the current Config-settings with the Config-settings in the defaults and warn if they differ.
-> this option only warns if the Config-settings changed, settings inside any other tab will not produce a warning. ;)

[alter4]

Read the tool-tip:

The issue has been closed "as designed" :D. BTW you might accept enhancement request for the future.

@selur
sorry if u did recieve PMs, nothing was showing in my sent box, so was unsure...



Hi, I think i may have bad dvd source so didnt wanna post in thread before checking..

my goal is to have untouched video (just split) + source audio + any manually added chapters (.ogg chapters) in an .MP4 container.

I have tv-show DVDs and commonly theyre all joined together.
so, i have the demuxed dvd & used cuttermaran to chop into into seperate clips etc. (I know u recomended projectx, but i cant get on with it at all, much prefer cuttermaran for my needs).

both of the .mpg from cuttermaran play perfectly ok.

so i go to hybrid to remux in to a .mp4 + add the chapters.ogg
video=passthrough
audio=passthrough

.....with one source the job finishes ok, but result is video=double length & audio playback speed is normal.

and the other source from a different dvd entirely is fine playback speed audio/video is ok...

the only way i found to get the problematic one to playback ok is to passthrough audio and x264 crf the video...then its ok.

i upload both debugs (if that`ll tell anything bout source) and the short 30sec output clips.

i appreciate it mabe a source prob and not hybrid one, thats y i pm`d an didnt post in forum... but confusing thing is the .mpg cuts are fine.

-> try if it changes anything if you disable Audio->Misc->Handling->Auto fix for mp4 or enable Config->Output->Container Settings->Mp4 Settings->FFmpeg instead of MP4Box

OK, sorry about the PMs, even now my profile shows me never sending you anything today[emoji33]

Apparently mpeg2 is fine in. Mp4 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_container_formats
(I did see it somewhere else also, cant remember where now).

I'll have a look for some toolkix stuff(assume from the toolkix site?)

I did also try to mux via yamb & MP4BOX GUI & both fail ( yamb complains about the audio stream)... But hybrid does actually Finnish the job..

Would it help if I also send the cut .mpg file?

Cheers.

Yes, but iirc ffmpeg doesn't support adding chapters to mp4, but Hybrid should still create an output file.

Strange thing is I had no problem remuxing both your mp4 files (I renamed them to 'can't remux to mp4.mpg' and 'can remux to mp4.mpg') without a problem using the normal settings (just set Audio&Video to passthrough)

so, when you remux my cant.mpg to cant .mp4 with defaults you get normal audio / video duration? approx 32secs ?

so, when you remux my cant.mpg to cant .mp4 with defaults you get normal audio / video duration? approx 32secs ?
Not unless I set Muxing->Overwrite Frame rate to 50fps (instead of 25). -> you can do that as a workaround (no clue why it is needed for this source and not the other)

Muxing call for ffmpeg seems fine, but from the looks of it I guess the problem might be with the chapters,...

Hi, I'm trying out Hybrid, and I have a few questions regarding audio handling.

1. Is there a way to extract the DTS core from a DTS-HD source (blu-ray) without reencoding, and mux it to the output (I'm guessing no but asking just in case)?

2. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong on this. AAC encoding is taking a VERY long time. Source is the aforementioned 5.1 DTS-HD movie (about 1h40m worth). This is the relevant bit:
Starting Main@18:33:51.784:
"C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\ffmpeg.exe" -y -threads 8 -sample_fmt s32 -f sox -i - -c:a aac -strict -2 -b:a 1280k -ac 6 -ar 48000 "C:\Users\Andy\AppData\Local\Temp\iId_8_aid_4352_lang_eng_DELAY_-43ms_18_21_14_2710_02.aac"

As you can see the audio encoding from dts-aac started at 18:33. It is now 19:03 and it's only at 42%. It seems amazingly slow for audio encoding. I am on a desktop Core i7-4770 8GB 2133 RAM with a GTX 960.

3. Is the encoding being done from the lossless DTS-HD source, or from the DTS core meaning lossy-lossy transcoding?

Thanks for any guidance on this.

[Selur]

regarding 1.: enable "Audio->Misc->Handling->Automatic DTS-HD to DTS" before adding the audio jobs to the queue
regarding 2.: The call looks fine, but it's just the encoding call, without the decoding and filtering. Would need a debug output to say more.
regarding 3.: Probably the DTS-HD stream, but I would need to see a debug output of the processing or at least:
a. the audio extraction call
and
b. the audio decoding call which is used to feed the audio filtering call
to know for sure.
To be clear, I agree that it seems rather long.
(also ffmpeg is probably the worst and slowest aac encoder supported by Hybrid; read *hidden* Hybrid options,... (http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html)->Additional aac encoders )
Also, why would you select such a high bitrate 1280k? Seems like a waste; 213 k per Channel, normally a total bitrate of ~320kbit/s for the whole aac stream should be fine.

Hi Selur, just installed last version, 2015.12.23.1, and seems
that there is a regression in windows vista support.

Oh, yes. Is crashing before opening. Giving this message
X265 message:

Then windows report x265.exe stopped working.

And finally Hybrid didn't get to start.

[locotus]

Sorry, miss this one that was behing the other error window:

GetTool version got an emppty output for X265.
The cause maybe that X265 could not be found.

That means avisynth and thus QTGMC isn't used.
Did you copy the content of the avisynthPlugins folder into your avisynthPlugins folder?

[DJ-1]

no, didnt do anything with that avisynthplugins folder, its auto created upon install of hybrid, i just hit `reset defaults` when instal hybrid

just tried the older v2015.12.23.1 from the win installer,
it shows avisynth avs preview error "unable to load "....Hybrid/avisynthPlugins/eedi3.dll, module not found.

but eedi3.dll is in there..

[Selur]

Try:
1. deinstall Hybrid completely
2. install Hybrid
3. extract the test version I send you.
other than that, no clue, may be some missing runtime dll

[DJ-1]

Ok...completely uninstalled...re_installed from latest installer. Copied the test version you sent today (deleted the other 1 by mistake).

When launching the test version, Hybrid say avisynth extension detected is older than version expected...
Therefore i get no avisynth stuff listed in filtering/deint.., so i dont get that preview button.

(other option, "filter preview" woeks thoughh)

Something is off, the Testversion I send you included:

Looking at http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Eedi3 eedi3 needs the VS 2013 runtime, but normally the avisynthPlugins folder should contain the required files.

That's my mistake, those are not really errors, I accidentally send some output to std error instead of std output, you can exchange avsViewer with the verison from http://forum.selur.de/post11001.html#p11001 to fix that.

Hi, Im looking at using QTGMC at running a test clip to compare results....
I need to resize too, but from what i can tell one of the best ones is either nnedi2 or nnedi3 (primaraly for deinterlacing, but can also do v good resizing upto power of 2).
Can hybrid use those methods to resize?, not listed under the 'crop-resize' tab.

Thansks.

Special settings regarding Avisynth resizers are listed under: Filtering->Avisynth->Line->Resizer (last option is NNEDI3Resize)

Yes, if "always use avisynth" is enabled and you enable the Resizer-option, it will always overwrite the resizer selection inside the Crop/Resize-tab.

Hi selur,
I have a question from someone who asked me how to join 2 chaptered mp4 files and keep chapters (and eventually change the container to get MKV, which is more common). Yamb and FFmpeg don't seem to be able to do this (or we didn't find how) thus I suggested him to try with Hybrid. But before to install it, he would like to know if Hybrid can do it. And as I don't have any chaptered mp4, I can't test myself.
The only thing he can do is to collect the chapters timecodes with FFmpeg and this command ;
ffmpeg -i input_video -f ffmetadata metadata.txt
And it looks like this ;
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/2997
START=0
END=1022098
title=Beginning
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/2997
START=1022098
END=1922698
title=Chapter 1
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/2997
START=1922698
END=2861697
title=Chapter 2
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/2997
START=2861697
END=3800696
title=Chapter 3
[CHAPTER]
TIMEBASE=1/2997
START=3800696
END=4833195
title=Chapter 4

Is there a way to convert it in MKV chapters format (or joining the 2 videos leaving it in mp4) without re-encoding with Hybrid ?
Thanks ;)

[Selur]

Hybrid can remux mp4 to mkv without any problems (and keep the chapters).
Hybrid can't merge two files.
But it's probably easier to use mkvmerge gui directly, iirc. mkvmerges append supports to append input mp4s and keep and append their chapters. (long time since I did something like that, but as far as I remember it should work)

Looking at the chapter format, I think Hybrid doesn't support the timebase parameter in the chapter format. (but if you have an mp4 file with chapters Hybrid can import that and convert it to mkv)

But it's probably easier to use mkvmerge gui directly, iirc. mkvmerges append supports to append input mp4s and keep and append their chapters. (long time since I did something like that, but as far as I remember it should work)
Thanks, I transmit the message.

Looking at the chapter format, I think Hybrid doesn't support the timebase parameter in the chapter format. (but if you have an mp4 file with chapters Hybrid can import that and convert it to mkv)
Do you mean that the mp4 chapters won't be kept because of the timebase parameter or they will be kept but without this parameter ?

[Selur]

Not totally sure what will happen since I don't have the importing code inside my head (long time that I wrote it). :)
-> best test what will happen if you load such a chapter file into Hybrid

Hi Selur
How you can use the vpxenc? Command not working.

[Selur]

Nope, seems to be broken, reported it to: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webm/issues/detail?id=1149

[Music Fan]

Thanks Jamaika but I don't understand everything in your post, could you explain a little bit more each command and the utility of this process compared to the use of MKVmerge, as suggest by Selur ?

[Selur]

@Jamaika: uploaded a vpxenc version to my GoogleDrive (https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_WxUS1XGCPASUZibG5XZkRfeTg&usp=sharing) which fixes the issue by not including vp10 to the build.

File 'ffmetadata' isn't tolerated by mkvmerge. You want to join two mp4 container. Chapters reportedly connect automatically.

[Music Fan]

Thanks but I still don't really understand your message, and your 2 messages contain different informations, it's quite confusing.
But I guess your last code allows to join mp4 keeping and appending their chapters.

IMHO it's good idea to place such links somewhere in the download page near the hybrid download link to allow guys who potentially could face the same issue immediately get cure.

Hi Selur
Do you know what is the function 'lag-in-frame'? When used 'end-used=q, cq-level=47, target-bitrate=0' doesn't matter which has a value. When used bitrate=10000kbps image is fatal to the 'lag-in-frame=1'.

[DJ-1]

Hi, I've got some old UK (BBC) PAL TV Dvds. The source i have is from a show shot on video, with analogue ghosting around outlines (people heads and edges in general). I know its not field blended ir anything like that, just not a great source...

Its being QTGMC, and avisynth resized (nnedi3).
Is there a good way to combat the ghosting effect...if at all?

Thanks.

@DJ-1:
if the source was NTSC, sRestore is probably worth a try, other than that avisynth got some deghosting (http://avisynth.nl/index.php/External_filters#Ghost_Removal) filters, but I have non-experience with them and if you want to use them you would need to add them in the custom section.

@Jamaika:
When used 'end-used=q, cq-level=47, target-bitrate=0' doesn't matter which has a value.
Here's what I wrote in the tool-tip:
Max frams to lag:
The parameter defines an upper limit on the number of frames into the future that the encoder can look.

If set, this value allows the encoder to consume a number of input frames before producing output frames. This allows the encoder to base decisions for the current frame on future frames. This does increase the latency of the encoding pipeline, so it is not appropriate in all situations (ex: realtime encoding).
Note that this is a maximum value -- the encoder may produce frames sooner than the given limit. Set this value to 0 to disable this feature.
in x264&x265 this is the frame lookahead.


When used 'end-used=q, cq-level=47, target-bitrate=0' doesn't matter which has a value.
Yes target-bitrate doesn't matter when constant quantizer is used,... no surprise there.

Awesome...
PAL source, Ghostbuster seems to be the one, was also rebuilt looking at the last post in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=35339

Would that by default work with hybrid...

No since Hybrid doesn't support the filter by default, so there is no button to enable it. :)

I have no idea 'what im putting in the custom code part though
You would:
0. copy the filter dll into the Hybrid avisynthPlugins folder
1. enable "Filtering->Avisynth->Custom->Add custom content before" and select the part where the call should appear inside the script (you probably want it before resizing)
2. add

LoadPlugin("PATH TO \Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\Ghostbuster.dll")
ConvertToYUY2() # to convert to YUY2, since the filter only supports YUY2
Ghostbuster(0, 10) # no clue what are good values here, you probably should read the readme of Ghostbuster
ConvertToYV12() # to convert back to Yv12
with the parameters of your choice for offset and strength into the box and check the avisynth preview

Hi, Selur.

In new version i get this error message when i select YadifMod.

http://i.imgur.com/Yv504F6.png

It's no big deal btw, deinterlacer works after clearing the message.

[alter4]

Can confirm the above and faced another issue.
I use https://db.tt/IPZrdexi configuration and put to input MOV camera with 30fps video and 48000Hz pcm audio.

Generated job looks this way:
ffmpeg -y -threads 8 -i "U:\photo\копи попи\DCIM\100_FUJI\DSCF0004.MOV" -map 0:1 -vn -sn -acodec pcm_s16le -map_metadata -1 -metadata handler_name="Hybrid 2016.02.13.1"

- -o "F:\temp\iId_1_aid_0_lang_en_20_47_19_2810_05.aac"


The issue is in resulting mp4 file. Audio has muxed into mp4 container as 44100 and its length is more than video as result + distorted voice.. IMHO to fix the issue hybrid should generate last line in code block as

ffmpeg -y -threads 8 -loglevel fatal -i "F:\temp\iId_1_aid_0_lang_en_20_47_19_2810_02.wav" -ac 2 -ar 48000 -acodec pcm_s16le -f wav - | qaac --threading --tvbr 75 --raw-rate 48000 --raw - -o "F:\temp\iId_1_aid_0_lang_en_20_47_19_2810_05.aac"

[Selur]

calls look fine as far as I can see them (the muxing call is missing) would need a sample to reproduce that (btw. your global settings don't really help.

on a business trip atm. with REALLY shitty internet connection, will look at it mid next week when I'm back

[alter4]

Got it. Thanks, no urgency here. Have a safe trip!

[Selur]

@alter4: tried to reproduce the issue, but it works fine here.
Do you get any errors when calling:
"D:\Program Files\Hybrid\mplayer_64.exe" "F:\temp\nexus4\DCIM\Camera\VIA3AA~1.MP4" -forcedsubsonly -nosub -noautosub -mc 0 -nocache -aid 0 -ao win32 -vo direct3d -lavdopts threads=8
Loaded the video inside Hybrid and pressed the Preview-button in the main tab and playback started right away.
Also try if it helps to use the mplayer/mencoder binaries from:
http://mplayerwin.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
32bit executables need to be named: mplayer.exe and mencoder.exe
64bit executables need to be named: mplayer_64.exe and mencoder_64.exe

[alter4]

After endless doing something in background, preview opened and it works with binaries from http://mplayerwin.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
Some evil in old binaries. Who knows...
Thanks.

[Selur]

first call to mplayer always takes long since it normally comes with fontconfig which first needs to scan the fonts on the system. ;)

[alter4]

One more question. If I want to use cutting edge x265 binaries because of https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/issues/172/bitrate-control-zones-are-ignored-in-any
It it possible to replace x265 in hybrid folder with multilib version from http://msystem.waw.pl/x265/ ?

[Selur]

a. If you want it cutting edge better compile it yourself.
b. you can exchange the x265 binary as long as it's with a single multilib binary.

Hi Selur,
:)
Did you drop QT 4.8 builds?.
I cannot run 5.2.1 build in my system...
:rolleyes:

[Selur]

Yes, I dropped Qt4.8 in 'rev 2013.01.02.1' . (two month ago and since nobody complained I spend the last week removing compatibility code and rewriting stuff)
What system are you running?

[alter4]

Reproduced on absolutely clean install (removed new mplayer binaries and clean reinstalled hybrid to verify issue) (see logs for 2016.03.19)
Got crash with x265 encoding with any of my camera movs
samples sent via PM because it's private.

[Selur]

-> replace the mencoder/mplayer versions with older once (https://trac.mplayerhq.hu/ticket/2293); anything before r37826 should be fine.
From the looks of it mencoder is freeing some memory it shouldn't free at that point in time when piping to an external encoder.

[alter4]

Will try. Thank you.
What's wrong with this world? :-) Mplayer should be newer, mencoder should be older.

[Selur]

It's the same code base,... :)

[digitall.h]

Yes, I dropped Qt4.8 in 'rev 2013.01.02.1' . (two month ago and since nobody complained I spend the last week removing compatibility code and rewriting stuff)

Thank you for answering Selur.
The last QT4.8 version I downloaded from your site was Hybrid_151223_64bit_binary_qt48

I run a Debian 8 based system: SolydXK 8 solydk. KDE version 4.14.2

It's true, I've been very busy lately.
Otherwise I would have complaint!
;)

[alter4]

Mencoder from revision https://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayerwin/files/MPlayer-MEncoder/r37817/
works for me

It's the same code base,... :)
That is exactly the thing that makes me funny

[Selur]

Yes, ...
r37825 and before work
r37826 and later crash

[digitall.h]

Yes, I dropped Qt4.8 in 'rev 2013.01.02.1' . (two month ago and since nobody complained I spend the last week removing compatibility code and rewriting stuff)
What system are you running?

Sorry me for bumping...
any chance for a new QT48 version?.

I can hardly imagine what I'm requesting, if you already uninstalled QT4...
:(

[Selur]

Not sure if the current code will still compile without problems under qt 4.8, but I'll look into it,..

[digitall.h]

Thank you Selur

[digitall.h]

Hi Selur,
I found a parameter switch in the command generated by Hybrid to send to x264 that may be normal but I find it strange.
First I'm using Hybrid 64bit QT4.8 2015.12.23.1 version. It may be important because I noticed that with this version I cannot set a negative chroma_qp_offset, but I see that it has been corrected recently.
When I try to make an encode from Bluray, I select crf encoding mode, I then select preset veryslow, tune film and when I run the job I see that the parameter chroma_qp_offset=-3 was sent to x264. Of course this parameter is not shown in the window when I'm selecting x264 switchs.
Is this normal given the combination of parameters I selected previously?

[Selur]

Hybrid only modifies:
a. stats file name (during 2pass encoding)
b. qp file (to adjust to chapters)
c. bitrate (during 2pass assuming you want to hit a specific bit rate)
It doesn't modify the chroma offset.
There might be a difference between the chroma_qp_offset you use and the one some tools report,.. (iirc. the output of h264_parse and the value one sets in x264 differs)

[digitall.h]

You're right.

The command Hybrid generates does not have any chroma_qp_offset adjustment. So it should stay default, chroma_qp_offset=0.
But MediaInfo reports chroma_qp_offset=-3

So, do you believe that it may be related to an error in MediaInfo when 'reading' chroma_qp_offset in x264 stream?

[Selur]

Can't reproduce this here, using MediaInfo Command line, MediaInfoLib - v0.7.83, when I encode something with Hybrid it reports:

So it seems not related to Hybrid.

I'm not sure is something wrong whether in MediaInfo reading chroma_qp_offset or in x264 or in this particular combination of parameters in x264 that forces chroma_qp_offset=-3?
:confused:


I also realized that even I select under "x264/VUI" Matrix, Tranfer, Primes and Range to automagically select them according to source, it does not recognize some sources as bt709 and does not send x264 the colormatrix=bt709 command.
But for this last issue you will probably need some additional information

[Selur]

I can reproduce this when I use your command line and, it seems to be related to crf encoding. (2pass, cq and abr are fine)
-> best ask the MediaInfo author and the x264 folks about this and I agree this is not Hybrids fault. :)

[digitall.h]

(...)and I agree this is not Hybrids fault. :)
Good to know!
:D

[Selur]

Okay it isn't crf related it comes from psy-rd as soon as it is enabled, the chroma-qp-offset is calculated in an to me unknown way. :)

[digitall.h]

You're right!
:thanks:
Thank you for pointing me to this post.
It would have taken me ages, if I had ever managed to find it.
So it's most probably related to psy-rd, that is adjusted to 1.0:0.15 after selecting veryslow preset.

So I run a new x264 encode, but this time selecting chroma-qp-offset 3.
And the resulting file shows in MediaInfo a chroma-qp-offset 0
Meaning that this particular combination of parameters subtracts 3 to chroma-qp-offset: as it was default (0) the resulting chroma-qp-offset=-3

Great discover!

[Selur]

-> Will indicate the 'chroma-qp-modifier' in the next release version.

[digitall.h]

Hi Selur,
I'm not 100% sure but I have the feeling that when you encode with x264 and select to generate a qp file based on chapters, Hybrid previously generated a qp file, but now it does not. I'm not sure if it is working properly.
I will come back hopefully with more certainties...
:D

[Selur]

Hmm,... you are right, will look into it. Seems like the 'Create qt file for chapters' doesn't work any more.
-> will be fixed in the next release, happened to due to some changes I made for better ArchLinux/KDE compatibility,...

[alter4]

Hi Selur! The issue for mencoder/mplayer looks fixed. I am waiting for the new release soon)) I want to be lucky guy upcoming release. :rolleyes:

[Selur]

On that note: New release is planned for tomorrow, assuming no new bug with the dev version will be reported today.

[alter4]

Stupid question. Where I can get this version if I'd like to be beta tester?

[Selur]

I send links to those that report a bug so they can check if it is fixed, other than that there is no public way to get a dev version.

[alter4]

Thanks. Sad but true. I should find and report bug right now to get a chance to get dev version! :D

[hello_hello]

Selur,
I downloaded Hybrid from your site today and I noticed you stated there's no Linux package directly from you because it's too much hassle, which is understandable, but given Windows 10 has forced me to become interested in Linux I came across AppImage while wandering around the internet looking for Linux software today, and as it was fresh in my mind when I visited your site, I thought I'd mention it in case you're interested. Maybe you know about it already, but I hadn't heard of it and it seems like it might be a good idea.

Selur,
(...)I came across AppImage while wandering around the internet looking for Linux software today,(...)

Yes, a way to try to avoid all the dependencies and library versions problem in Linux...
I wonder about performance: x264 encoding, and I guess also x265, is a huge computer resource consumer. I suppose performance will be penalized...

[Selur]

Hybrid rev 2016.04.09.1:

*fixed*

tools: mencoder had a bug crashing near the end of encoding (Windows)
x265: y4m <> raw video mixup
avisynth: Yadif deinterlacing
analyse: DVD input aspect ratio
tools: NamedPipe handling
audio: qaac handling

*added*

filter: added ffmpeg 'framerate' filter
decoder: prefer ffmpeg as decoder for avisynth

*changed*

audio: enforcing downmixing in some additional cases
frame: removed some ivtc methods

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

Cu Selur
-----------------

I suppose performance will be penalized...
Not really unless you need to use Wine to use Avisynth,...
Normally there shouldn't be any performance penalty for encoding.

[Selur]

rev 2016.04.10.1:
*fixed*

model: a few missing avisynth related variables
x265: fixed '--allow-non-conformance'

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

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
I finally decided to install QT5 alongside QT4
:eek:
So long the system didn't complain.

So now testing latest Hybrid Linux64bit Qt 5.2.1 2016.04.10.1
When creating a MKV from a bluray if I manually load an audio track Hybrid complains
(...) grabbing audio data and delay infos with MediaInfo for /home/encoding/00800.track_4352_en.ac3
couldn't find: /mediaInfoLog.txt (...)

It goes on and puts track under jobs.
But I didn't realize this before.

Am I doing anything wrong?

[Selur]

Probably not, two other users reported this, but no one provided me this enough information to reproduce this here.
This happens because some how the temp folder isn't set.

[digitall.h]

But I do have a TEMP path set. And I would swear it's OK,..

Another small hiccups...
:)
I always ask Hybrid to keep intermediate files, in case there happens any error.
With this version audio track delay is checked with DelayCut and then created some intermediate files that are muxed at the end.
Hybrid now generates intermediate audio files with wrong extension, they are formerly DTS and AC3 and they are all named *.wav.
The audio file is correct, and then is correctly muxed in MKV.
Just the file extension is wrong for intermediate audio files.
:D

[Selur]

to vague of a description to reproduce this without a debug output :)

[digitall.h]

I may provide a DebugOutput with next encode.
But, in my humble opinion, I believe that you already have the main information.

Hybrid Linux64bit Qt 5.2.1 version 2016.04.10.1
Source: bluray
Destination: MKV (video x264)
Audio files: DTS and AC3 format, manually selected
Options: Keep intermediate files; Use delaycut to fix delays
Error: Intermediate generated audio files with wrong extension, all renamed to iId_1_aid_0_18_55_55_1510_0X.wav

Tell me if I can provide further information that makes me explain better the error.
Whenever possible I'll send you a Debug.

It's just a minor, almost cosmetic error. The program keeps all its functionality.

[Selur]

please create a debug output, tried to reproduce it but here the intermediate files got the right extension,.. :(

[digitall.h]

I've just sent you a debug
:thanks:

[DJ-1]

Hi..ive been using qtgmc hybrid and thw encodes come out nice without error..at the moment my pc maxes at 20_25%...looking on task mananger there isnt any bottleneck..mencoder is the main thing consuming any resources.

I tried briefly looking at the mt modes. And memory settings etc but only ever 20% used.

Ill send the global profile and the avisynth script used...

I did read that putting Distributor() at the end of the script (which isnt there at moment) should help but dont really know enough about it..

Thanks.

[Selur]

Does the same thing happen when ffmpeg is used as decoder? (normally with the current version ffmpeg should be the default decoder for avisynth)

[DJ-1]

Hi, yeah i werent on the latest version of Hybrid (as things were working nicely), updated today, noticed that i get a crash -> 11_20_46_5610_04_video crashed:ERROR: K:\ENCODES\Hybrid\Temp\11_20_46_5610_04.264 is too small!

if i simply dont de-interlace, its fine, think ive had sometghing on here like that before...

also, i notice that in this version that i "Bob" selected under QTGMC settings, this doubles fps, but "seperate fields()" doesnt get added to the avisynth script. where it was fine before...

SeparateFields() should only be used when interlaced content is filtered by filters which do not support interlaced content,...
since you use nnedi3, there's a new version out -> https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170083 , may be that helps

[DJ-1]

same crash (job was recreated fresh) https://www.dropbox.com/s/gp6zz70a1v45jp4/sameDebugOutput.txt?dl=0

[DJ-1]

Hi, sorry only just had a chance to look at this again..
further tests show me encoding is fine until nnedi3 is used under `avisynth/line/resize`
same with the test version..

so i had look at the alternate nnedi3 thread (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=170083) you linked and got the x64 set and found the Release_Intel_W7_Core2_SSE4.2 version of nnedi3.dll and put in the ///program files/Hybrid/avisynthplugins folder.

also in the readme it mentions needing 2015 runtimes+ the update2
...also the Intel Parallel Studio 2016 redistribuables

so all of that is installed...

reset all the tool cache within Hybrid, set the job up fresh with no unusual settings, except filtering=QTGMC(slower)... +nnedi3 resize, same error. on both installer and test version.

If it does do you get any errors when calling the above all inside a command line window?

hi, the `avisynth preview` seems ok, lets me scoll throuhg frames no errors, when usually plays the output, hybrid doesnt throw errors though.

`filtering/preview` displays a single frame, whee it would normally show playback, and if i check the `filter view` box next to preview i `avisynth preview` is fine and `preview` shows nothing (no errors)..

if i call what you said to i get...

ok cheers, just disabled copping, worked fine.

question, i thought mod values etc where for the output, although probably nnedi3 doesnt like the 698 (autocrop) as a source..

how do i know when is/isnot a good value, could it be that a prompt is displayed that shows user they need to alter cropping?

thanks..
Appreciated

[Selur]

Prompt is a BAD idea since it would come up each time the avisynth script is updated.
What you can do is:
a. tell auto crop that you want mod4 resolutions: Crop/Resize->Misc->Advanced Auto Crop Options->Threshold/mod/count
b. tell Hybrid to highlight width&height red if they are not mod 4: "Crop/Resize->Misc->Color crop width/height red, if they are not modulo 4"

[Magik Mark]

Hi!

Is the frame interpolate feature similar to SVP?

[Selur]

Avisynth->Frame->FPS adjust->Interframe uses SVP, see http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=160226

[Magik Mark]

Thanks for this one.

Which version of x265 are you using? It seems some parameters are different. Like Hybrid psyrd = 0.5. Newer x265 it's already 2

[Selur]

Hybrid's defaults are not the defaults of x265, if you want the x265 defaults, apply the medium preset.

[Magik Mark]

I did apply 2 pass 10bit x265 medium preset. The psyrd =0.5. The new default of x265 is now 2


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Selur]

when I apply medium preset, psyrd&co are all changed,.. you did press the 'Apply' button right?
The tool-tip of the preset option also shows all the settings Hybrid assumes for each preset (for the presets != medium, only the settings that differ from the medium preset are shown).
Preset:
Presets are ment to reduce the work needed to generate sane, efficient commandlines that do what you want.

Through a preset you select a trade off between compression efficiency and encoding speed.
Available prests are: ultrafast, superfast, veryfast, faster, fast, medium, slow, slower, veryslow, placebo.

You need to press 'Apply' for a preset option to take effect.

Here's a list of what each of the presets do:

Ok. How do I restore everything back to default?

[Selur]

Apply "x265->Main->Configuration->x265 Hybrid Default"

[Magik Mark]

I saved my configuration with preset medium and tune grain. Restarted hybrid. How come preset and tune reverts to none? I also saved a configuration in audio with bitrate 256kbps. After restart it reverts to blank. Are these bugs?

I did my first encode. How come the subtitle wasn't included? It was embedded inside the video


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Selur]

Hybrid doesn't remember preset and tune selections for x265&x264 since they they both get applied and do not represent totally fixed values.
-> no bug, that is intentional
Regarding the subtitles, need for info to answer that question. :)

[Magik Mark]

Is there a setting that I have to activate so that the embedded subtitle in the input file will also be encoded in the output file?

Is it also possible to have preset in denoising algorithm? Such as light,medium & strong?

[Selur]

If you have hard coded (= embedded into the video) subtitles, Hybrid won't remove them.
If you have subtitles as attachment inside the container (soft subbed) you can tell Hybrid to keep them for the output by:
a. enabling Main->Handling->Subtitle->All subtitles and pressing 'Main->Handling->Subtitle->Extract&Add subtitles' (after loading your source)
or if you want Hybrid to do this automatically you can tell it by enabling
b. Config->Audiomation->Passthrough streams->Subtitle (before loading a source)

X265 has been updated to build 1.9 +150. How often hybrid is updated?
roughly once a month or whenever I see a change (or fix a bug) that seems to be important enough to release a new version earlier
(unless the command lines change you can always exchange the tools Hybrid uses manually)

Is it also possible to have preset in denoising algorithm? Such as light,medium & strong?
there are tons of different denoisers in Hybrid and you can save presets&co through different methods, read: [Info] About profiles and saving settings,.... (http://forum.selur.de/topic263-info-about-profiles-and-saving-settings.html)

Is there a way to make 5.1 ->2.0 audio?

[Magik Mark]

I think I found out what's causing the video error in encoding that resulted to abort. According to the author of knlmeans, using gtx 900 series gpu may cause this. We need to install a customized opencl made by him - which I did. So far so good for now

Yes, under "Audio->Filtering->Downmix".

May be something you do aside from encoding is influencing it,...

Nope. It's a bug of nVidia driver.

Thank you for clarifying this.

I was wondering how come staxrip is able to overcome this error. This error may also show up during encoding in the latter. However, it is able to recover very fast and prevents disruption or abortion of the process. This lead me to believe that staxrip may be using other tools in the background that actually prevents this.

I also like hybrid because of its comprehensive filters. I think this what makes it tick

[Magik Mark]

May I ask whats the difference between "scale ouput frame rate" and "interpolate frame rate"? Both indicated that they add or subtract frames and both doesn't seem to change the duration of the video

May I ask your ave fps for x265 2pass 10bit "fast first pass"? In my case it used to be 30fps for first pass then 24fps for the second pass. Now I'm only getting 10fps for first pass alone. Is there a setting or switch that we missed?

Since x265 defaults changed to using slow first pass, as soon as you apply a preset, Hybrid will switch to slow first pass, before fast first pass was used.
see: https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/x265/commits/1b2b9128cffe63f3e19d130e9f15db3445b70abe
-> so unless you make sure you set fast first pass after applying a preset I'm not surprised encoding during 1st pass is slower. ;)

Hopefully, after applying any preset. ;)

Then I got no real idea and my guess is that:
a. you either used different settings (especially filtering can cause a slow down)
b. your source differs (e.g. requires deinterlacing now, higher resolution)
c. something changed in x265
only thing I added to support the newest x265 build was to add support for http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli.html?highlight=recursion#cmdoption--recursion-skip which additionally changed the presets.

Don't think so. (At least it doesn't interfere here with Hybrid and Qt.)

Found the culprit. It's the interframe causing this. Tried using SVP script. No problem. We by the way shared the script in staxrip. Is it possible to look on to this. Maybe there's something wrong in the interframe script or its just purely outdated. If nothing can be done, is it possible to integrate the SVP script instead?

Thanks a lot for your hard work!

Hello. I've spend about 2 hours editing options new profile for x265.
Unfortunately "configuration apply" and "configuration delete" buttons are close to each other and I've pressed by mistake "configuration delete". Does Hybrid store backups of such configuration files? It would be nice to have a conformation dialog
when deleting configuration :-).

I like this tool, its very easy to handle. But could you add Waifu2x and ResampleHQ for resize? Or even better, to allow to edit the avs script just before starting?
And someone knows a 10bit 4:4:4 color/gamma/level corrector, and flash3k or gradfun for anime?
HDR and AutoAdjust dont work, let's say after encode in 10bit 4:4:4 almost all the plugins dont work

[Selur]

@Easy:
ResampleHQ & Waifu2x -> will look into it.
Most Avisynth filters are meant to work in 8bit YUV color space, if you need to handle 10bit RGB you might want to try Vapoursynth, it might be better suited for the task.
Hybrid should still be able to use the plugins, but will convert to a YUV colorspace and during that process probably loose some details.

Out of curiosity: Where does your source come from that you have 10bit 4:4:4 ? (rather uncommon)

@Hexen:
No Hybrid, does not keep any backups. Will look into adding a prompt to make sure the user wants to delete a config.

[Easy]

Very nice, thank you for the effort :)
I will give Vapoursynth a closer look, it could help me anyway. Any future plans to integrate it as well into Hybrid?
Or maybe some standby plugins for higher bit depths?
To get to your question: No, unfortunately I only have an old 640x480 dvd source from InuYasha, with mid artifacts, mid rainbow, big bandig problem and its way to bright.
But i could't change the colors correctly, because it creates to many high visible block artifacts in the shadow, particularly the transition from black to any color.

Now I encode to x265 with crf 22, upscaling with nedi3 and blackman to 720p (and: HDR-AGC which helps gradfun, edgeCleaner and warpsharp).
I'm very happy about the results, 95% of the blocks and banding are gone, only small rainbows are left and a light blur.
Now I could encode a second time, now with color correcting, derainbow and sharper. (or use waifu2x in the first place, which have multiple filters)
But the most plugins, as you said, are not working on on 10bit and corrupts the colors in the output (everthing green)

So I need to do this manual with avs scripts in FFmpeg command line
Or I wait until high bit gets standard and crazy new filters are developed (Anime as vector graphics^^)

[Selur]

Any future plans to integrate it as well into Hybrid?
Yes, there are plans to integrate Vapoursynth into Hybrid, but the main problem is time. :)
Or maybe some standby plugins for higher bit depths?
Standby plugins?

So I need to do this manual with avs scripts in FFmpeg command line
you could still feed the avisynth script to Hybrid.

[Easy]

Standby plugins?
Ich meine damit, wenn man ein 8bit video hat benutzt hybrid alle standart plugins und avs scripts, und bei einem 10 oder 12 bit video könnten neue plugins geladen werden die die inkompatiblen ersetzen.
Bzw erstmal deaktivieren was nicht kompatible ist.

[Selur]

What filters are not 10bit compatible for you? A bunch of plugins have adopted a vertically stacked format known as Stack16, where the high bits (MSB) are stored in the upper half of a video, and the lower bits (LSB) in the lower half of the video.
-> don't myself have the time to check each plugin, but I you can provide a list of the plugins&scripts Hybrid uses that are not 16bit compatible I can disable them when high bit depth in- and output is used.

[alter4]

Hi There! According to http://avisynth.org.ru/fft3dfilter/fft3dfilter.html default bw and bh values are 48. As result impossible from UI set value to 64 because Hybrid assumes it's default and doesn't form any plugin parameters.

[Selur]

fixed locally (copied the list of available values from fft3dgpu)

[alter4]

Thanks, will verify in next version, but no rush, I use custom tab to form what i need.

P.S. Read the doc more carefully and found.

...
bw - block width (integer, default = 48 since v.1.2)
bh - block height (integer, default = 48 since v.1.2)
....
Version 1.2 - July 12, 2005 - changed default block sizes bw=bh=48 and overlap sizes ow=bw/3, oh=bh/3 to finally prevent grid artifactes in sharpen mode (but speed is decreased).
.....
Version 1.9.2 - 11 september 2006 - changed default bw=bh=32; added mode bt=5

In FFT3DFilter.cpp the line looks like

Version 1.9.2 - September 6, 2006 - added new mode bt=5


you can trust no one in this world. Only source code will give answer and 48 is there.

AVSValue __cdecl Create_FFT3DFilter(AVSValue args, void* user_data, IScriptEnvironment* env)
{
// Calls the constructor with the arguments provided.
float sigma1 = (float) args[1].AsFloat(2.0);

return new FFT3DFilter(args[0].AsClip(), // the 0th parameter is the source clip
sigma1, // sigma
(float) args[2].AsFloat(1.0), // beta
args[3].AsInt(0), // plane
args[4].AsInt(48), // bw -new default in v.1.2
args[5].AsInt(48), // bh -new default in v.1.2

[Selur]

@Easy: looked into ResampleHQ and Waifu2x. ResampleHQ will be added, Waifu2x probably not.
Waifu2xs Avisynth version (http://waifu2x-avisynth.sunnyone.org/) is way too slow to be usable, sadly there doesn't seem to be an Avisynth version which uses the GPU, there is one for Vapoursynth (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=172390), but Vapoursynth isn't supported inside Hybrid atm.
(planned, but far away since I due simply lack the time)

@Selur: I am using latest version 2016.05.22.1 and am trying to convert bluray titles from E: to MKV, but have hit a snag. I check "Generate" and the software will make filenames like C:\Temp\E:_Title_1.mkv which will result in failure. Somehow I can't get rid of that source drive letter. I can manually select a filename and that will work. Any help appreciated, und danke aus Bayern :)

Did you by any chance enable: Config->Output->Filename Generateion->Output Filename Generation->Add parent folder name as prefix ?
If you did disabling that should help. (will add a check for the next version to make sure not 'DRIVENAME:' will be used there.

[MarkT]

"Config->Output->Filename Generateion->Output Filename Generation->Add parent folder name as prefix" was off, I only use "Add Titleinfo ('Title_X')" and in Raw Outputname Generation everything is checked.

Looking forward to new version, thanks!

I think I have the rest figured out. My aim is a makemkv replacement that can create MKV from my blurays for Kodi. No transcoding, just pack all video, all audio, all subtitles and chapter information into a MKV that's it.

[Selur]

Hybrid can't circumvent any copy protected, but that aside it should work. (will send you a link to my latest dev build a bit later)

[Magik Mark]

Is MCTemporalDenoise part of the collection of filters?

[Selur]

No, it always seemed to be too much of a pain to support due to the sheer amount of parameters:
MCTemporalDenoise( clip i, int "radius", int "sigma", bool "twopass", bool "useTTmpSm", int "limit", int "limit2", bool "fixFFT3D", bool "chroma", bool "GPU", bool "MT", int "idx", bool "interlaced", int "sharp", bool "adapt", int "strength", int "SHmode", int "SHmethod", int "Slimit", int "Sovershoot", bool "Tlimit", int "Tovershoot", bool "protect", int "cutoff", int "threshold", int "maxdiff", bool "AA", bool "useEEDI2", float "reduc", int "maxd", int "AAthr", int "method", bool "deblock", bool "useQED", int "quant1", int "quant2", bool "edgeclean", int "ECrad", int "ECthr", string "ECmode", bool "stabilize", int "maxr", int "TTstr", bool "flat", float "GFthr", int "AGstr", int "bias", int "bwbh", int "owoh", int "blksize", int "overlap", bool "truemotion", bool "safe", bool "MVglobal", int "bt", int "ncpu", int "precision", int "mode", int "thSAD", int "thSAD2", int "thSCD1", int "thSCD2", int "pel", int "pelsearch", int "search", int "searchparam", int "MVsharp", int "DCT", clip "p", string "settings", bool "show", int "screenW", int "screenH" )
and the amount of dependencies to different dlls and script)
But you can still use it through the Custom-option, if you know what you are doing. Be warned, from what I read it should be the last filter used when MT mode is enabled, it seems to be a bit unstable from what I read.

[Music Fan]

Hi Selur,
I encoded an avs file (yv12 output) in x264 with Hybrid and MediaInfo tells the resulting mkv is in BT709, I believed it would be BT601, is it normal ? The resolution is little, 320x240.
I may not have selected the good profile, I don't know what to choose.

edit : I found, this was because of the profile I had selected, now I use bt470 (= 601).

[Music Fan]

Hi,
Hybrid can't open avs file containing accent (é), it works with e instead. But it is still a 2015 version.

[Selur]

@MusicFan: fixed locally

[Jamaika]

I have a problem with the codec VP9.
When you choose the option VBR and applies dropframe 100 for framerate 30000/1001 film correctly plays. Reportedly dropframe is used to all fps divided by 1001.
When you choose the option CBR and used dropframe 100 for framerate 30000/1001 in the film deleted every second frame. Strange.:confused: Film has fps=15000/1001

[Selur]

Do the command lines look right? Not sure if this is a bug in Hybrid or a bug in vpxenc/libvpx or the used decoder.

[Jamaika]

It's not urgent. Simply so it has.
It's bug in vpxenc/libvpx.

It's OK

[Magik Mark]

Is there a way for me to tell which filter comes first. second and last? Can I adjust this?

[Selur]

No, the filter order can't be changed.

[Magik Mark]

Is there a way to change the MT mode for each filter?

[Selur]

Yes, in example by manually editing the "mtMode..." entries of the FilteringModelDefaults.xml (changes require Hybrid to restart to take effect)
If you think you found better defaults for those values, let me know.

[Magik Mark]

I will, thanks. By the way encoding in x265 is a lot faster now compared to the previous build. It's Similar to staxrip now

[Selur]

Didn't change anything -> x265 version changed probably something. :)

[Magik Mark]

I'm wondering where you are getting the opencl.dll? I need both x32 & x64 to try it out with madvr and staxrip thanks


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Selur]

OpenCL.dll should normally come with your graphic card drivers. The one inside the avisynth plugins folder, came with KNLMeansCL (https://github.com/Khanattila/KNLMeansCL/releases/tag/v0.7.6)

[Magik Mark]

I have this avisynth+ plus script that is similar to interframe but a lot faster. It also uses SVP flow. Is there a way for me to use this in hybrid? I don't know how to convert it


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Selur]

Problem is that the script changes the frame count and frame rate and unless Hybrid is aware of those changes Hybrid would assume wrong numbers and thus show wrong progress, calculate wrong length, size,....
So assuming the script would already run with avisynth (since avisynth+ and avisynth are quite similar that is not that far off), only way to use it would without much trouble would be to write another script which uses your script and feed that as input to Hybrid.
Other than that I can't say more about an unkown script which 'is similar to interframe but a lot faster'.

[Magik Mark]

Do you have the time to take a look at it? Its just short and simple. Maybe that's why it is a lot faster

[Selur]

Post it an I can look at it once I'm back from work.

Here you go:


global threads = 27

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)

global smoothfps_params = "{gpuid:0, rate:{num:5, den:4}, algo:23, mask:{area:50, cover:80}, scene:{blend:true, mode:0}}"

function interpolate(clip src)
{

super = SVSuper(input, super_params)
vectors = SVAnalyse(super, analyse_params, src=input)
smooth = SVSmoothFps(input, super, vectors, smoothfps_params, mt = threads, src = src)
return smooth
}

input = last

eval("""interpolate(input)""")

Prefetch(threads)

[Selur]

It's basically the same as interfame, just using different parameters. -> have you tried simply using a faster preset than the default 'Medium' ?

[Magik Mark]

I tried all the preset and its really slow. Is there a way to use this script instead of interframe? This is 3x faster

[Groucho2004]

I tried all the preset and its really slow. Is there a way to use this script instead of interframe? This is 3x faster
Run the script through avsmeter and post the results. I'm especially curious about the amount of threads that you're running with a prefetch value of 27. :eek:

[Magik Mark]

Changed the threads to 4. So far ok

Running fd3k -> knlmeans -> interframe = 25fps

Interframe(GPU = true, preset = faster, tuning = smooth, NewNum = 30000, NewDen = 1001, overridealgo = 23, Cores = 4)

[Selur]

I could add an option to specify the 'Cores' value of Interfame. Still 27 seems a rather high value.

[Magik Mark]

I'm using hybrid in a 60" display. Is there a way to make the window and fonts bigger?

[Selur]

Sure, *hidden* Hybrid options,... (http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html)->misc.ini options->change GUI fontsize / change GUI toolTipFontSize should help.

[Magik Mark]

Thanks that work!

Is there a way to create a user defined preset for the filters? For example, in KNLMeans I would like to create a preset light, medium and strong

[Magik Mark]

How do I make a shortcut on the desktop such that the preferred style always load?

[Selur]

How do I make a shortcut on the desktop such that the preferred style always load?
Like mentioned under*hidden* Hybrid options,... (http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html)->'Command Line Interface (CLI)', make sure to use full paths and not relative ones.
-style plastique -stylesheet "d:\Hybrid\styles\black-blue_plastique.qss"
Other than that, you add the additional parameters to the target of the shortcut. (not Hybrid specific)

Is there a way to create a user defined preset for the filters? For example, in KNLMeans I would like to create a preset light, medium and strong
No. You can save avisynth presets (which contain all avisynth settings) in the dev version, but there is no option to create custom presets for each filter.

Possible audio profile bug?

1. I have 2 audio profile, 256kbps aac fdk he and 320kbps aac fdk he
2. My default is saved to 256kbps
3. Encoding with the default has no problem
4. If I apply my second profile which is 320kbs (I clicked the apply profile button). It changes the required fields to 320kbps aac fdk he
5. However, when the encoding starts, it still uses the default 256kbps
6. Work around for the meantime is to change the default to 320kbps and save it
7. Load the video and start encoding

[Selur]

There is only one audio. What more info do I need to provide?

Update: No matter which audio profile I choose. It keeps on using fdk when encoding starts. Any ideas?

Update: Reset to video input helps

Why doesn't it follow what's on the audio field parameter?

[Selur]

Create debug output level 9 which should include the loading of your source, the adjustment of the settings and the audio job creation.
Also a small step by step what you did would help to speed-up the process of reading the debug output.
My guess atm. revolves around some combination of assumed audio channel count and actual audio channel count.
+ a copy of the profile you apply would also help.

Thank you! I was able to figure it out. I still need to get accustomed with the UI. There are steps that need to be executed first

Among the aac encoders, which do you prefer and why?

[Selur]

Personally I mainly use qaac, no special reason. Since I mainly use LC aac with relative high bit rates it doesn't really matter which encoder I use.
qaac > fhgaac > fdkaac > neroaacenc > faac > ffmpeg aac is probably the general order in regard of quality, but since all those encoders are rather mature afaik it shouldn't really matter.
Thank you! I was able to figure it out.
Wrong audio handling?

[Magik Mark]

Wrong audio handling?

When encoding the audio I need to follow certain steps in order for the parameters to stick:

Option 1

1. Main -> Audio Handling -> Custom
2. Audio -> Enter the parameters -> "+"

Option 2
1. Main -> Audio Handling -> Auto add (fist / all)
2. Audio -> Enter the parameters -> Reset to Video Input

In other GUIs encoder that I have used like, staxrip. These steps are not necessary. Just the enter the parameters and it would stick during encoding

[Magik Mark]

Selur,

Is it possible to have the dependencies updated too? I know they are a lot that needs to be check from time to time
Is it also possible to have 2 updates a month? It seems changes are made in the dependencies like, x265 almost daily. It's easy to just replace them but it's quite confusing for average users to change the parameters in hybrid. Program may react differently. Defaults may be altered as well
