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

[Magik Mark]

Thanks that did it!

I was just wondering about the ff:

1. Why queuing entries are deleted when you restart hybrid?
2. Why can't the user change the settings / preset once the video has been moved job queue ?

Is this a limitation of the software used or your mere preference?

Thanks a lot to all your work!

[Havokdan]

Is it possible to include in the first tab, somewhere near the box in which we chose the input file, an option to choose the input method? Something like Avisynth and its various options (L-smash source, ffmpeg2source and others) As well as those who do not use avisynth.

[Selur]

Why queuing entries are deleted when you restart hybrid?
for me the entries inside the queue do not get removed.

Why can't the user change the settings / preset once the video has been moved job queue ?
Simply because the entries inside the queue do not contain enough data to reconstruct the gui state and all the settings.

Is this a limitation of the software used or your mere preference?
This is how I decided to design the software,...

No.
a. Hybrid selects the method to handle the input based on a best guess and restriction model, this will not change. Especially since I don't see any useful case for this.
b. You want to select from mencoder, mplayer, ffmpeg, all avisynth source filters and all vapoursynth source filters and then complain if you selected a filter that isn't fit for your input?
c. since avisynth and vapoursynth are optional adding them to the main tab would just bloat the size of the tab.

The problem is that sometimes for the conversion to be successful, I need to use a certain combination to open the files, as I see it is possible with the Hybrid, but the options are bad, so much so that I only discovered them after you answered a Comment here from forum, in StaxRip for example is easier. But thanks for the answer.

[Selur]

Then use StaxRip or if you have some criteria which allows to identify those sources that require a specific input method share that info and I can look into using that selection method in Hybrid.

Cu Selur

I do not have any files now with the problem, after much breaking my head, discover that it was a problem with colors (colorspaces), in the opportunity StaxRip offers when opening a file a certain combination of "source filters", in which the The only one that opened the video was this combination highlighted in the image below:

https://i.imgur.com/jT3tQlK.png

If the image did not appear, it was using the source filter to use such a LWLibAVVideoSource, either with avisynth+ or vapoursynth in StaxRip, at the time did not know where to make that change in the Hybrid.

[Selur]

Something like that will probably not happen, sorry. But like I said if you come up with a way to identify problematic files that require a specific filter, let me know.

[alter4]

Hi Selur, downloaded recent version, open video file and got error "x265Model doSet->found no field: optionalHrdSignalling" when i tried to apply x265 preset. OS windows 10 64bit.

--Thanks and happy new year.

[Selur]

you can simply ignore those errors, deleted two parameters that weren't used anymore.
(will probably release a new version on Saturday or Sunday, which will fix this and some other minor stuff, waiting for feedback from a few users regarding some bug fixes)

[alter4]

>>will probably release a new version on Saturday or Sunday
You probably really are one of the best Santa I know :-)

>>you can simply ignore those errors,
Got it, thanks

[Emulgator]

Hi Selur, first off: Many thanks for your efforts !
Starting from Hybrid 2014, then 2015, early version, now recent version 2016.12.23.0
I sometimes try to run your big toolbox on a Win7U64, which all updates applied.
Never got past this Win7 crash screen:

The mentioned previous Hybrid version I tried also crashed on Qt5core.dll, IIRC.

I wonder that after installing Hybrid I see 2 locations of msvcp/msvcr.dlls and Qt.dlls,
one is "Hybrid" folder and the other is "dynamic" within "Hybrid".
Additionally the Qt.dlls have different versions (2015 in "dynamic" vs.2016 in "Hybrid").
Since other users happily report success with Hybrid I am curious to find out where it borks on my side.

I started with my chosen install path C:/_PROG.
Startup.Crash.Uninstall..Checked that the "Hybrid" folder is completely empty.
Reinstall with suggested install path C:/Programme,
leaving everything at default setting.
Startup.Crash.Uninstall.Checked that the "Hybrid" folder is completely empty.

letting reset everything to default on install
but keep getting the same behaviour: Startup.Crash.

Thank you Selur for an updated Hybrid version:
I hope you had Merry Christmas and wish you a very good New Year 2017
:thanks:

Using Linux64bit 2016.12.23.1 version, when Hybrid starts up it does not show the image (Hybrid logo) it used, just a white square showing files verified.
And icons for Bluray input and DVD input, in main tab, are also lost. Is this supposed to be?

When you say:
Hybrid rev 2016.12.23.1:
...
For those that want to try the experimental Vapoursynth support on:
- Windows 64bit: download the Addon-File from the download page and extract it into your Hybrid folder
- Linux: use the repository, add the Hybrid Vapoursynth packages and add vapoursynth="true" to your misc.ini file.
(no Vapoursynth for 32bit Windows or Mac atm.)
...
are you referring to Linux repository?.
My OS is Debian and sorrily there are neither Hybrid nor Vapoursynth packages...
Or do you refer to another repository?

[Selur]

@digtal.h:
about the missing splashscreen at start up:
- I know tested some stuff and forgot to reenable it :)
about the missing icons inside Hybrid:
- this happens due to a bug (which I fixed locally), but it causes Hybrid to kill the icons if a custom font size was specified inside the misc.ini (removing the font size setting from your misc.ini should fix the problem, till the next release)
about the repository:
- I'm referring to the Ubuntu Linux repository that is linked on the download page (under Hybrid packages by others) maintained by djcj

@Emulgator:
about the different Qt versions:
- the 32bit qt binaries often use a different version (dynamic = 32bit versions)
about the crash:
- make sure to uninstall Hyrid and it's config files.

Cu Selur

Ps.: Planned to release a new version today, but this isn't going to happen since I wait for some feedback from users that reported a bug. (Main problem atm. is that Hybrid seems to crash on Macbook Pro with the new touch bar; can't reproduce the issue here, since I don't own such a device)

Thank you.
Ubuntu ppa... in Debian it may work, or not. I may take a look.
It may also help to know which packages we need to have installed in the distribution, and some configurations or adjustments needed, so everybody can have a system working with Hybrid and Vapoursynth independently of the distro.

[Selur]

Best ask djcj about what packages he uses etc. (personally I lost track of all the changes :))

[Magik Mark]

Selur

How do I make sure that only the ff are encoded:

1. Video
2. Audio
3. Chapters

After running mkvtoolnix I always see the word "tags". I want that remove. Which in the settings I could do that?

[Selur]

In relation to tags Hybrid by default:
a. passes through the Audio/Video language and title tags. (can be disabled under: Config->Automation->Passthrough Tags)
b. always sets the global 'Encoding Gui' tag to the Hybrid version info in example 'Hybrid 2016.12.23.1' (can't be disabled)

Since I'm not sure what Hybrid does that isn't to your liking can you be more specific about what you don't like that Hybrid does?

the new x265 option? Which there are multiple --[no-]multi-pass-opt-distortion, --[no-]multi-pass-opt-analysis, --[no-]opt-cu-delta-qp, --[no-]ssim-rd, --[no-]aq-motion support,....
Tested them yesterday and they seemed to work here fine.

Maybe your default directory is without write permission. You can try to add option:

[Magik Mark]

------------------
After installation of Hybrid -- you can write any option(s) in the box:

[Selur]

Seems like I missed '--analysis-mode <string|int>' and '--analysis-file <filename> :)

[alter4]

Does it means new build is necessary to fix this?

[Selur]

You could simply disable the 'Analysis refinement' and 'QP refinement' and thus not use the option, other than that a new build would be required. (fixed it locally, but busy with another bug atm.)

Hi Selur

Have been sitting on a older version, as it `works nicely`...

Ive been doing lots of QTGMC + lossless / sourcematch etc + Nnedi3 on interlaced pal stuff no probs

i get a progressive source, set input type to 1, and crash.
maybe a silly question, is lossless not meant to be used with progrssive? because when i disable lossless mode it converts `input type 1` fine.

...i tried the latest Hybrid installer on my whs,.. same job setup
crash
debug:https://www.dropbox.com/s/ljx14afi3h1alo0/HybridDebugOutput%20Lossless%202.txt?dl=0

QTGMC preset - custom

shapness 0.2
lossless `before resharpening`
final temporal smoothing `1`
source matching `2x refined`

cheers, yeah did look at the avisynth page earlier couldnt see anything that says they cant be used together.

was only when i tried the preview, i see Hybrid thinks otherwise...

i was thinking it was my global profile initially...checking that.

Problem with converter subtitles mp4 to ass

I have ffmpeg 2017 and can't convert files.
When I use alignment an4 in mov_text this I have information in ffmpeg:

and this is related to Hybrid: How? (don't think Hybrid would try to extract subtitle from an .mp4 file as ass,...)

[Jamaika]

I would not bother you, but ffmpeg begins to read some information from movtext. There is some progress.

convert file mov_text to

[Selur]

a. don't see a problem with what you posted
b. still don't see why you posted this inside the Hybrid thread, since this has nothing to do with Hybrid (Hybrid doesn't use ffmpeg for subtitle conversions,..)

[Vesdaris]

Hey Selur.

I was hoping if you could help me out with something.

I've found out that when I try to screenrecord any video (youtube or other souces) playing on my screen (refresh rate 60) at their original fps, say, 23.976 or 25 ) then my recorded file gets some kind of micro-stutter as if frames are dropped.

Sometimes it starts happening from the very beginning(I can observe it real time via OBS preview), sometimes it happens after x minutes of recording. CPU usage, settings(except one , see below) and whatnot do not affect this issue.

However, recording at 60 fps (same as my refresh rate) fixes this issue.

I read somewhere that it has something to do with me trying to screenrecord 23.976\25 fps video on my 60 refresh rate monitor and that to complete avoid this from happening I need to set my refresh rate to, say, 72(seeing as you can't force 24 or 25 refresh rate) for instance(for 23.976 material). Sadly my monitor only works at 60 refresh rate and can't be overclocked.

I was thinking about a workaround..recording at 60 fps using lossless mode(yeah I get it, lossless for a screencapture lol) and then somehow converting it to the original fps during a final encoding.

How could I do it in hybrid ? I presume I need to use some avisynth script in "Frame" settings? What should I use? Would the final file be stuttery or something seeing as the original frame rate is 25 fps not 60?


Thanx a lot.

PS I read that virtualdub supposedly has some plgins that can do

analyzing sequential frames and removing duplicates, or blending frames / fields in order to reach the lower fps without audio/video desync.

but I have never worked with it. Is it possible to do something like this in hybrid "frame" settings?

[Vesdaris]

Hybrid crashes when I try to encode PCM audio from a certain video file to either AAC or AC3

It's a large,80Gb, file (video codec - MAGY, audio codec- PCM

Here is my log:

http://pastebin.com/pa2jV81s

Any ideas on what might be wrong?

Cheers.

[Selur]

@Vesdaris:
Regarding changing the frame rate from 60 to X: Try Avisynth->Frame->Restore->sRestore
Regarding the crash: I think I know why this is happening. (a small bug I fixed a few days ago, will send you a link to a dev version for testing)

[Vesdaris]

The dev version works :) Thank you.

sox: crash when running multiple sox instances in parallel (seems like sox is trying to create the same temp file, now creating, and later deleting, a separate sub-folder for each sox instance)
avisynth: removed 'disableDistributor', added 'addDistributor'
avisynth: changed Hybrid default QTGMC ediThread count from -1 to 2.
avisynth: nnedi3- and ResizeHQ-resizer call fixed

Just a question, I have a file that mediainfo informs that it has 120 fps, what option should I check to reduce fps?

[Selur]

Assuming you are on a Windows System your best option is probably Avisynth->Frame->Restore->sRestore.

Thanks, i will try.

Hy Selur!

Thanks for the new build. We may Have some issues on the ff:

1. Multiple redundant x265 CLI entries on "Analysis & QP Refinement" and "Save RPS"

2. When "Motion based adaptive Quantization" is ticked it disables it. If unticked it activates it. Isn't suppose to be the other way around?

argh,...
- the double entry only happens when 'fast 1st pass is disabled' :)
- for aq-motion I accidentally added a 'not' thus enabling and disabling the option are switched :)
-> will fix (-> fixed locally, send you a link to a dev version)

Hi Selur,

1. The default audio is greyed out. I can't set my audio as default

2. In order to use "--multi-pass-opt-analysis or --multi-pass-opt-distortion", "cu tree" has to be turned off. Where can I find "cu tree"

[Selur]

regarding 1.: you already set the audio stream that is inside the audio to be flagged as default for an mkv container,... you can't flag multiple streams as default
regarding 2.: Good to know. 'cu tree' = Coding unit tree -> disable "x265->Quantization->Coding unit tree for adaptive quantization' and Hybrid should add '--no-cutree' to the command line
