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

[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

@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.

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.

[Magik Mark]

Here you go:


global threads = 27

SetFilterMTMode("DEFAULT_MT_MODE", 2)
SetFilterMTMode("SVSuper", 1)
SetFilterMTMode("SVAnalyse", 1)
SetFilterMTMode("SVSmoothFps", 1)
SetFilterMTMode("ffdShow_source", 3)

ConvertToYV12()

global crop_string = ""
global resize_string = ""
global super_params = "{pel:1, scale:{up:0}, gpu:1, full:false}"
global analyse_params = "{main:{search:{coarse:{distance:-8}, distance:0}}}"
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)
{
input = crop_string=="" ? src : eval("src."+crop_string)
input = resize_string=="" ? input : eval("input."+resize_string)
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?

-style plastique -stylesheet=black-blue_plastique.qss

[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)

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.

If I have the required files for qaac, do I still need to install quicktime or itunes? Where do I place the said files?

[Magik Mark]

I have 3 jobs in the queue. Exited hybrid. Reopen Hybrid. How do I then edit the settings for a particular job? Let's say job 2. Changes needs to be made on some parameters or to review the chosen parameters for a particular job

[Magik Mark]

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]

... you can edit your posts ...

Aside from the 'Apple Application Support' Hybrid already comes with all other files,... also read http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1646783#post1646783 and following

[Magik Mark]

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
