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

[Selur]

Hybrid is a Windows Qt based frontend for a bunch of other tools (http://www.selur.de/licence) which can nearly open every input to x264/x265/.. + ac3/ogg/mp3/aac/flac inside a avi/mp4/m2ts/mkv/webm container, a BluRay or an AVCHD structure.

Here's a general feature list: Extensive ability to configure x264s setting (with dependency checks)
ability to use x265
tagging support for mkv/mp4
chapter support for mkv/mp4/BluRay
subtitle suppot for mkv/mp4/BluRay
audio/video Profile-support
an integrated bitrate calculator
accepts vc-1 and avc raw input
a DTS Extension bitrate calculation for dts-hd audio inside a .m2ts file
manual&automatic creation&passthrough of chapters
ability to encode single tile/chapters
a job-control
aac/mp3/ac3/ogg audio encoding with neroAacEnc/mencoder/ffmpeg
filtering through mencoder (+ some resize automation)
acceptable Input: avs and everything that mplayer/ffmpeg can decode
possible output x264 + ac3/ogg/mp3/aac x264 + ac3/ogg/mp3/aac inside a mp4/m2ts/mkv container, a BluRay or a AVCHD
audio&video passthrough, which allows it to use Hybrid as a muxing tool
stuff I forgot to mention ;)
Sourcecode:
Atm. there's no specific plan when and if I release the source code. (If/When I stop developing Hybrid I will probably release the code under lgpl.)


Licence:
Hybrid is free for personal usage.
(Licence restrictions of the tools used are inside the windows package)

Hi Selur,
nice application. All we hope you keep goin' on.
Thank you

[Riki]

Thanks for the hard work on this, amazing app!

I have a bug where Hybrid crashes when I drag multiple files to the input. It looks as if this happens because I choose "custom add all" in the audio option. Im also on windows 7 64bit. Could you verify this?

[Selur]

@Riki: I can reproduce it. :) -> fixed it, will send you a fixed version for testing

Hybrid ver. 100227_2

*fixed*
- crash on MultiFileInput and audio handling 'custom add all'
- Linux: dvd analysis

Changelog auf Deutsch:

*gefixed*

After some quick tests I've done on Windows XP only (I'll try on Debian Lenny later):

I'm getting this error message at the program launch:
Error
mediumValue value "BD/DVD 5/9" is not present in current list


Video is always reported like this:
Video information:
Format: AC-3
Bitrate: 640


For x264 I couldn't find the option for --no-dct-decimate so I had to use the command line addition box. Not a big deal but a switch, a box, would be usefull.


Downmixing an AC-3 5.1 audio source to AAC stereo using Nero didn't work. The result is a (working) AAC 5.1 as if the stereo downmix request has been ignored.


After muxing to MP4 MediaInfo reports this information:
Format profile : JVT
However I've not used the JVT matrix neither any other custom matrix.

[Selur]

will take a look at it a bit later, working on a linux bug atm.

mediumValue value "BD/DVD 5/9" is not present in current list
if you got this on the first start: Reset the Defaults

Video is always reported like this:
What is the input?

Imortant infor needed to fix&repoduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix.
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a hopefully fixed version for testing via pm.

[Brazil2]

What is the input?
I've actually tried with two different source files, one is a BD backup with a VC1 video stream and AC-3 5.1 audio muxed in MKV and the other one is the original M2TS from the BD with H264 video and AC-3 5.1 audio.
Here is a split of the VC1 in MKV:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BNLUTD5G


1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
Hybrid Win32 package 100226 with the lastest up to date EXE from Hybrid_100227_2.zip running on Windows XP 32 bits.

[Selur]

Thanks will have a look at it. :)
-> can repoduce both problems will fix it and send you a fixed version for testing. :)

[CpT]

I'm having the same issue regarding the audio showing up in the video section.

[Selur]

compiling a new release :)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver. 100227_3

*fixed*
- a bunch of Linux related handling bugs
- audio/video analyse mixup
- defaults being saved unsorted

(you need to enable Misc in the Main-Tab to enable the Misc-Tab)
Reset Defaults in Misc-Tab on first start

-> updated links in 1st post

[CpT]

It reads it correctly now Thanks.

It still throws an error when trying to run a f4v file though it. If I rename it to mp4 its fine.

[Selur]

What error? Got a sample? (Hybrid only uses mp4box for .mp4 content. :))

[CpT]

Here's a small sample:

Edit:
Whats the deal with no subme 10? Even with trellis 2 I can't access it.

Think I fixed the f4v problem. :)

[Brazil2]

Hybrid ver. 100227_3
- Now the video codec is correct but still not the bitrate which is always 640.


- When trying to downmix an AC-3 5.1 audio source to AAC stereo using Nero it now hangs and nothing happens. Job is stuck to 0% and even if you Stop / Reset / Remove all jobs than won't stop SoX and NeroAacEnc from running and the only solution is to exit Hybrid.

[CpT]

is qcomp at 1 a typo or something lol? That's pretty high I thought.

I put it at qcomp to 1.0 and subme 10 is now available, odd, when did that change happen to x264?

I run win7 32 bit.

[Selur]

I put it at qcomp to 1.0 and subme 10 is now available,
.. qcomp shoudl be != 1 for it to be enabled,..

Now the video codec is correct but still not the bitrate which is always 640.
doh, overlooked that,.. :/

[Selur]

updated: http://www.selur.info/hybrid/Hybrid_100227_3.zip will wait for feedback before updating the rest. :)

[MuLTiTaSK]

For x264 I couldn't find the option for --no-dct-decimate so I had to use the command line addition box. Not a big deal but a switch, a box, would be usefull.

thanks for the front-end Selur it's shaping out real nice keep it up;)

Yup, f4v's work fine now :thanks:

[Selur]

looking at the subMe 10 problem now. :)

[Selur]

updated http://www.selur.info/hybrid/Hybrid_100227_3.zip subMe 10 should now work too (didn't update subMe on trellis change ;))

Does anyone know all of the container extensions mp4box can handle (atm. it's restricted to 3gp, mp4 and f4v inside Hybrid)

[MuLTiTaSK]

@Selur

MP4Box -h import (bit.ly/cQdOZJ)

[Selur]

Don't see any container thats 'mp4 compatible' as I ment it. ;)
I'm looking for which container can be re-/demuxed by mp4box and from which it can extract stuff. :)

[Riki]

Thanks Selur, I can confirm the multiple input bug if fixed!! :)

[Selur]

Just made a silent update to all the Hybrid_100227_3-builds, will now take a shower, grab a bite, watch daily show and then go to sleep, so I'll be back in around 9 hrs. :)

I also face Problem in encoding 6 channel audio file to 2 channel please help.

[Selur]

tried to extract and remux the file via:
mkvextract tracks "Input.mkv" 2:"test_eng.ac3"
mkvextract tracks "Input.mkv" 3:"test_jpn.ac3"
mkvextract tracks "Input.mkv" 1:"test.264"

-> no clue what's with the file but even after a simple remux it's asynch.

[Atak_Snajpera]

Two solutions
1) remux source mkv and force 24000/1001 frame rate
2) add convertfps=true to DirectShowSource

[Selur]

Problem is: how to detect that it is 24000/1001 automatically?
(ffmpeg detects '23.98 tbr', but mediaInfo and mplayer both detect 29.976 fps :( and mkvinfo also shows 29.976)

Hybrid ver. 100228

*fixed*
- a bunch of audio related problems on linux (e.g. ffmpeg->sox->neroAacEnc)
- audio copy (used on audio passthrough or when using raw audio input)
- job indexing on multi audio

-> updated links in 1st post

Cu Selur

Ps.: no clue atm how to better detect fps than mediainfo,... -> got an idea :) may be extracting the time codes will help (just have to figure out how to get them with mkvextract and then integrate them into Hybrid)
('mkvextract.exe timecodes_v2 wrongFramerate.mkv 1:timecodes.txt' seems to work ;))

@Selur

eac3to would allow the user to open complete (bit.ly/5s8dkW) BluRay's directly in Hybrid not just files (*.m2ts)
title choice for multiple titled discs like you allow with DVD's
extract original chapters from source
eac3to audio functions it's what seperate it's from most demuxers hands down essential tool for BluRay conversions;)

Hybrid x264 interface is awesome control of so many switches in a GUI is sweet great coding you doing keep it up :thanks:

[Selur]

working on timecode extraction atm to be able to get the right averageFps and keep them on passthrough.
strange thing is
mkvextract timecodes_v2 "D:\sx264\testclips\wrongFramerate.mkv" 1:"timeCode_22_55_22_058.txt" creates a timecode file
mkvextract timecodes_v2 "D:\sx264\testclips\wrongFramerate.mkv" 1:timeCode_22_55_22_058.txt creates a timecode file
mkvextract timecodes_v2 "D:\sx264\testclips\wrongFramerate.mkv" 1:"D:\Encoding Temp\timeCode_22_55_22_058.txt" doesn't create a timecode file :(
->going to ask mosu for help,..
seems to be my system was at fault, works now :)
-> send Alex a link to a fixed version for testing

[Selur]

Hybrid ver. 100303

*added*
- 'Check average fps of mkv files' under Misc->Handling:
this will grab the time codes of incomming mkv files an adjust the frame rate according to the average frame rate calculated from the time codes.

Im trying to encode to Baseline and its not working. Is there anything special that I need to do in order to do this?

I change the Profile to Base and the Level to 3.1 but it still outputs High/3.1

[Selur]

probably a small typo, brb

[Riki]

Thanks! I liked in sx264 when it would deactivate features when switching to baseline.

[Selur]

-> redownload latest build, should be fixed now (removed it for some testing and forgot to reinsert it ;))
Thanks! I liked in sx264 when it would deactivate features when switching to baseline.
I'll recheck on that, don't know atm why this is not happening. ;)

Thanks, because currently the encode crashes for me because I probably have non-baseline features defined. I tried disabling CABAC and B-Frames but its still crashing.

ARGHHHH,.. seeing this I really think about removing MeGui x264 setting input support and add an import option where you enter your command line and Hybrid adjusts the settings accordingly, seems to be the better way to handle these strange config files,...

I started Hybrid and minimized it, didn't change any code.
What Qt Version are you running? (not totally sure if this works before 4.5, since I can't recollect to have tested it before, since I assumed it would work :))

[Adub]

Ah! I can actually see it now if I look REALLY close. I have a black-ish taskbar, which makes it nigh-impossible to see.

[Selur]

Ah, okay. Will modify the icon so that it is better visible on dark ground. (That is by far easier than trying to find a bug I can't reproduce. ;))
What linux build are you using: 32/64 bit? (so I can send you a test version)

[Adub]

64 bit, gentoo-based "Sabayon Linux".

[Adub]

Oh, and small bug report (100304).

I am unable to add an external audio source in the source tab. I press the "Audio" button, select my source mp4 file (which is pure aac audio, no video) and press Ok. The path does not change from the video input file. What I'm trying to do is a muxing job, with video in "passthrough" and audio in "custom add all". After trying to enqueue the file (to see if it was adding the file invisibly) I get an error about adding an empty audio track while "audio != ignore".

[Selur]

Damn, can't connect to my svn server atm, seems to be a problem with no-ip. :(
Will look into the audio problem once I can reconnect to my server. :)
-> fixed locally

Ps.: wrote an XMedia Recode profile importer, but since I never used the program and I'm not totally sure if I interpreted all the settings right some feedback would be nice (if anyone uses it): http://www.selur.info/test/import.zip (Misc->Misc settings->Import)

[Riki]

Although Ive gotten used to it, I also wanted to say that the icon is almost impossible to see with a dark background. :)

[Selur]

My backgrounds normally are all bright so I never really noticed. :)
changed it a bit for the next release, it's still not popping into your eyes, but it should be noticeable. ;)

Hybrid ver.100309

*added*
- x264 command line import (x264->misc)
- XMediaRecode profile importer (misc->misc settings->import), probably buggy since I had to guess a bunch of mappings (feedback is welcome ;))
- MeGui audio profile import (audio->misc->import)
(added and removed a MeGui video import option, since as far as I can tell their profiles are inconsistent)

*changed*
- rearrange audio tab
- prefer mencoder on ulaw audio input
- system tray icon to be a bit better visible with dark backgrounds
- show output framerate in filterTab (!not accounting for x264 pulldown parameter!)
- show subtitle extraction progress

*fixed*
- forgot to do anything when 'telecine' was enabled

(you need to enable Misc in the Main-Tab to enable the Misc-Tab)

Okay, while attempting to create a smaller file to file a bug report with, I found another bug.

Description: When loading an audio only mp4, with audio set to passthrough all and file splitting set to 10 MB, mp4 box crashes.

[Selur]

I'll look into it. :)
I now know where the problem is, just need to find a way to fix it.
Hybrid is using the false track id, I now 'just' need to find a reliable way to get an MPlayer ID <-> mp4box id mapping. Would be simple for single audio input (simply map first found audioID mediainfo reports to first audio id mplayer reports), problem is I don't know a way to do a more reliable mapping to handle multi-audio input. ;)
(atm Hybrid always used mplayer-AudioID + 1 als mp4box ID which worked for the mp4 files I got here. ;))

-> send you a link to an updated version, will wait for your feedback before releasing it. :)

[Selur]

Since I got a call and I'll be off for the days here's a general update:
Hybrid ver.100310

*fixed*
- mkvmerge ui-language (checking now if en or "en_US" should be used)
- mka was handled as if it were raw audio

*changed*
- scanorder detection for dvds
- match mp4 ids of streams to mplayer ids of streams

(you need to enable Misc in the Main-Tab to enable the Misc-Tab)
Reset Defaults in Misc-Tab on first start

-> updated links in 1st post

[Adub]

Great, thanks Selur. I'll test it ASAP.

Edit: Well, the mkv merge seems to work.

However, I'm still getting a problem when I try to merge an AAC MP4 and a video MP4 generated from a bluray into one output. Apart, the two files work just fine, but when I combine 'em, mplayer just plays the video and chokes on the audio.

The whole process completes just fine, but the end ouput does not play any audio. There is an audio track, but it is silent, or can't be decoded.

This is with Mplayer and VLC.

[Selur]

Would help if you could reproduce this with a small sample, write a small step-to-step guide how to reproduce it and send me both.
as a small reminder: Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. Debug output would be helpful. (misc->misc settings->create debug file)
5. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix. :)
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a hopefully fixed version for testing via pm.

might be he-aac related if so, try it files the playback problem if you call:
MP4Box -sbr "your mp4 file" "aac-sbr-fix.mp4"
on the created file. :)

Also send you a testversion where:
a. Hybrid does he-aac signaling when reencoding to he-aac
b. got a new option in Audio->misc that let's you manually enabling he-aac signaling when using audio passthrough

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100313

*fixed*
- 2pass bitrate adjustment when input and output fps differ (e.g. for ivtc)

*added*
- 'he-aac' signaling for mp4/mkv output
will be done automatically one reencodes the audio to aac high efficency (v2) or neroAacEnc auto-mode and quality < 31, otherwise one has to enable it manually under Audio->Misc

*fixed*
- 5.1->stereo downmix

*added*
- testing xvid support (still not sure how to set vbv restrictions and haven't written code for zone support yet)

Just out of curiosity, is there a way to force Hybrid to not save the resolution in the command line when saving an X264 profile? For example, when I created the profile, I was using a video with 624x356 resolution. Now, when I use the profile on a 720 vid, it tries to set the resolution in the x264 commandline to an incorrect resolution (624, instead of 720).

I would much prefer that it just saved the encoding settings and not the resolution.

[Selur]

oh, that's a bug :) will fix it, the width/height/framerate weren't ment to be saved. :)
send you a pm.

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100317

*fixed*
- forgot to remove quotes around filename when converting subtitles
- accidently added embedded subs also to container
- output resolution != expand resolution, when changing output par + changing resolution + changing expand size manually (took me quite some time to find this one :))

*changed*
- converting srt -> ttxt now without mp4box (basic atm. additional options are planned)
- Xvid: vbv can only be restricted through the profiles (see: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/menc-feat-xvid.html) adjusted Hybrid accordingly
- removed some source specific settings from x264&xvid profiles

@Selur

i cant set more then 50 Lookahead (frames) with x264 in 100317?

eac3to in Hybrid?

keep up the great work:thanks:

[Selur]

Haven't changed this for quite some time:

syncLoolahead got a minimum of: threads+bramecount = cpuCoreCount*1.5 + bframes
(cpuCount will be detected if threads = 0, otherwise thread value will be used)

rc-lookahead is limited to:
max = Max(gopMaximum, qMax(vbvMaxBitrate, Bitrate)/vbvMaxBuffer*Framerate)

That's what I integrated after: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1321220

So depending on your other settings it might well be that hybrid wouldn't allow more than 50 frames lookahead.

Hybrid ver.100319

- automatic qp file generation for chapters
- some small cosmetic glitches

I may have mentioned this before, but hybrid cuts off the last few seconds of the video sometimes and the only way I can fix it is to process the audio with another program and mux it to the mp4.

Is there anything I can try to prevent hybrid from cutting off the last few seconds of the audio?

[Selur]

I'm not aware of such a problem. Hybrid is not telling any program to cut anywhere. So first it might be interesting to locate the step where the audio gets 'cut'. :)

Cu Selur

[Riki]

Ill send you a PM with a test file :)

[Selur]

And a small (&short) step-by-step 'guide' to reproduce it would be nice. ;)

[Riki]

Ok nevermind, i think I remember the problem and solution from last time. Its a situation where when you downsample audio from 44,100 to 22,500 it cuts some of it off. If I leave it at 44,100 its fine. Ill make sure.

[Selur]

does anyone have a sample of:
1. a vfr mp4 file
2. the timecode file in mp4 format (belonging to 1.)
3. the timecode file in matroska v2 (belonging to 1.)
wanted to include the possibility to convert between 2. and 3. but got no sample and tc2mp4 doesn't help me.

I just don't understand the nhml format. :(

[CpT]

Lovin hybrid thus far man gj!

I do have a small request though. Is it possible to have the tags auto added every time? Even just the container tag would be very helpful ;)

-To answer your question I don't have a vfr mp4 file. sry.

[Selur]

I could add an option automatically add the container-tags, assuming they are present and a container, which supports them (no raw or m2ts output), is created. Got a bunch of (real live, offline) stuff to take care of before, but shouldn't be to hard to add. (give me a few days)

Cu Selur

[CpT]

Sounds good, I'm in no hurry m8, take your time :thanks:

[Selur]

Dropped the timecode v2 conversion for mp4 since I don't want to use tc2mp4 and I can't find enough (for me understandable) infos on how to do a matroska v2 -> nhml timecode conversion, so no timecode support for .mp4 for the time being. :)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100406

*changed*
- on interlaced material autodeinterlacer will only select ivtc if mediainfo detected it to be telecine / a 3:2 Pulldown
- audio language tags support for m2ts output
- activate and set vui color prime, transfer and color matrix to bt709 on hardware restriction blu-ray (this will only set the flags and won't do any color space transformations that might be recommend)
- adjusted presets
- some code cleanup (hope I didn't break anything)
- added timecode input/output option (side note: output option will only work properly with mkv output since I don't know how to convert matroska timecode v2 to nhml timecode files)

gday selur

a quick bug for u.
in the misc tab when you go to change the paths to programs (x264 for example), the "all files" filter is set to "*.*" which, on linux, makes x264 invisible.
there is no way to enter the path manually or get rid of the "*.*" filter.

using hybrid 100406 via tightvncserver & fluxbox on an ubuntu linux 9.10 headless server

also, have noticed if i select an iso file (dvd rip) as the source it doesnt pickup the chapters, yet if i mount it first and select it as a dvd folder it does???

cheers :)

zygo

[Selur]

Will fix the program path thing for linux. (if you post what linux version you use 32/64bit I'll send you a fixed version for testing) :)

About the iso input: I never intended for Hybrid to support .iso files as input. :)
Loading an iso file shouldn't initiate all the dvd-input analyse methods and as such not get all the infos from the source. I'm surprised that this is the only problem you stumbled upon when feeding Hybrid with an .iso file. :)

[zygo]

im using 32bit linux

yeah, the iso worked the other day (apart from chapters) but since then ive "played" a bit with the system and now (i just checked to confirm) it only picks up the audio track :(
(i know it picked up the video track b4 because i was playing with par & cropping b4 i realised there was no chapters)

cheers

[zygo]

gday selur

test version now works for picking up linux binaries. 1 thing u might change tho is if you open up the selection window for a path/binary that has already been entered & then u "cancel" the window, the original path/binary is not retained (clears the entry)

cheers

zygo

[Selur]

Yup, that was intended since I needed it for testing and never changed the behavior, shouldn't be hard to change so will probably change it later today and release a new version tomorrow. :)

[Riki]

Is anyone having a problem with changing the framerate of a video? I just grabbed the latest and everything I encode goes to 30fps. Im trying to encode to 10fps.

[Selur]

Hmm,.. definitely a bug and I know where it is and I even how I created the bug it's a bit tricky to fix. Will fix it tomorrow. :)

[Riki]

Ahh great, I was hoping I wasnt going crazy haha. :)

[Selur]

Nope, broke it when I fixed a deinterlacing frame count calculation bug because I overlooked the connection to the force frame rate method. ;)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100414

*fixed*
- scale output frame rate
- use * instead of *.* as filter when selecting program paths under linux
- subtitles asynch when framerate changed due to deinterlace/ivtc
- Chapter EndTime not correctly shown after dvd input load
- dts audio detected as dts-hd

*changed*
- don't set empty program path
- set he-aac signaling if neroaac + auto + quality <= 0.3

*adjusted*
- '--key-min' minimum and default value to 0 (= auto) requires x264 15f5e7ef2d0bd8196b0345dc8fb568c225b22b12 and later

gday selur

is there a way to restart a job in the queue that has failed at the point it failed? eg. dvd source has converted audio... has converted video.... mp4box failed to mux (for reasons i havent discovered yet).

i would like to avoid running the 1st 2 stages again (many hours) and just restart at the failed muxing when i work out what went wrong.

also, is it possible to have hybrid restart, should it get killed for some reason, and it picks up the queue that existed when it got killed??

cheers :)

zygo

[Selur]

Nope, atm. hybrid does neither save the current queue nor can it restart an aborted queue.
About the muxing:
The files created up to the point where Hybrid aborted should be in the Temp-Folder Hybrid uses, so you should be able to just feed it with the infos and set audio&video to direct stream copy and just create a new muxing job.
Atm I would guess that one of the files ment to be muxed wasn't created properly and so the muxing stopped, but without additional infos (see first post) it's just a guess. :)

[Tadream]

Excellent piece of software.
I've converted a big m2ts to a smaller one to fit on DVD5. The picture was still great.
Too bad it just takes so long to encode but thats got nothing to do with your tool.
I have one question (maybe it's been already asked but I couldn't find it), is there a way to pause an encode?
I noticed a postpone button but it didn't do anything (probably because I only had one job in it?).

[Selur]

Yup, postpone is to postpone a complete job during in the job handling queue so that it will be skipped. :)
An there's no way to pause an encode, I could add a 'postpone' option for subjobs which would allow to process the subjobs of a specific job to a specific point. (it's bit tricky to add such an option, since I never intended it, if a bunch of people say this is a nice feature I could spend some time thinking about how to implement it :))

Pausing an encoding job during it's processing isn't possible since none of the tools used in the background support it and the only way to do this without the tools especially supporting this would probably include a bunch of heavy memory dumping and would definitely need admin privileges. Don't think this will ever be possible with Hybrid, since it would require something like Windows "hibernate"-mode for a part of the system.
If you just want to 'shutdown' your PC and restart it later, due to the noise the pc makes or something like that, sending windows into hibernate-mode should do the trick.

Cu Selur

[Tadream]

Thanks for the reply.
There's a pause button in Handbrake and I believe with h264enc you can pause with ctrl+z.
It's not essential though, I just thought of it this afternoon. I wanted to start an encode but I also remembered I wanted to watch a movie tonight (streaming from my laptop) so it would be convenient to pause the encode, watch the movie and then continue the encode.
I remember pause with Handbrake and then put my laptop in suspend, take it with me and later that day start the encode again. But your tool is imo much better then Handbrake.
(using Ubuntu Karmic 64bit and Hybrid 130410 64 bit)

[Selur]

I normally watch movies while encoding. ;)
Hmm,... linux ;) will look at h264enc how they pause the encoding and see if I can integrate it into Hybrid. (and if it's only possible on Linux or if it's also possible under windows)

[zygo]

selur
re. pausing so you can do something else while encoding.
not sure if its possible but couldnt you lower the process priority so eveything else would work normally & x264 etc. would just slow down if system is needed for something else? (sorry if this is a stupid question)

cheers

zygo

[Selur]

I assumed linux would lower the process priority by itself,... I'll do some testing. ;)

gday selur

it would seem that my previous muxing problem is a problem with the chapter file (see attached).
i can load up the video & audio files but when i try to load the chapter file hybrid says "malformed entry CHAPTER01" and will not load it.
without it, mp4box muxes no problems except there is no way to set the par if the video is "passthru" (video was not originally encoded 1:1 so i dont know if i have to set par/dar when muxing?)

cheers

[Selur]

don't attach stuff, since attached stuff needs approval of a moderator -> best upload it somewhere and send me a pm with a link

mp4box muxes no problems except there is no way to set the par if the video is "passthru" (video was not originally encoded 1:1 so i dont know if i have to set par/dar when muxing?)

Does any one care about an option to really pause encoding? (could add an option to pause processing; if you close Hybrid pausing will be aborted and all data will be lost)

That would be VERY nice indeed!
Yes please, just do it! :D

[Selur]

Will release a version with pause/resume capability later today.
I even think, under Linux, it might be possible to pause, close Hybrid, open Hybrid and resume in a future version, but I'll have to do some googling about checkpoint software solutions on Linux and Windows.
-> nope definitely needs kernel support to work properly and judging from current development this is far from here :(, so there'll only be a 'pause' while Hybrid is running.

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100424

*added*
- option to overwrite frame rate and pixel aspect ratio on passthrough (only applicable when remuxing)
- 'Pause/Resume'-processing option (will pause the whole current queue; pause for single jobs will come once I'm sure this works ;))
- 'open gop'-option (a x264 build with open-gop patch included is needed for this)

oggenc allow stdin input... what about allow using it ?

BHH

[Selur]

I could include ogg vorbis support via oggenc, but since I never got any feedback regarding anyone of using ogg vorbis I'm not sure if I want to add another tool. ;)
But if at least two people say they will use it (and report if it's broken) I sure can implement it. (should be quite similar to the code I use for neroaac, so probably a bit copy&paste, checking how to use oggenc and writing some listeners to show progress&co)

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Had a look at oggenc and even implemented support for it, problem is: There's no progress indication aside from the time elapsed since oggenc was started.
If it would show the number of seconds processed I could simple calculate the status in percent to show as progress indication. -> when oggenc adds a progress indicator I'll add support for it. :)

Cu Selur

[J_Darnley]

It does print the percent done, at least for wav input.

[Selur]

yeah, but since 5.1 wav are kind of huge (temporary files) and it accepts input via a pipe I would prefer to use it via pipe. (decode with ffmpeg/mencoder -> filter with sox -> encode with oggenc/neroaacenc) ;)

[J_Darnley]

It does read wav from a pipe. (I didn't say a file). I did a simple test: cat temp.wav | oggenc2 - -o temp.ogg -q4

[Selur]

ffmpeg -threads 4 -v -10 -y -i "test_en_aid_128__09_37_15_718_01.ac3" -f sox - | sox -p -t wav - remix -m 1v0.2646,3v0.1870,4v0.1870,5v0.2291,6v0.1323 2v0.2646,3v0.1870,4v0.1870,5v-0.1323,6v-0.2291 norm | oggenc -r -b 196 -C 6 -R 48000 --ignorelength --utf8 -o "test_en_aid_128__09_37_15_718_02.ogg" -
and
ffmpeg -v -10 -threads 4 -i "test_en_aid_128__09_38_42_868_01.ac3" -acodec pcm_s16le -ac 6 -ar 48000 -f wav - | oggenc -r -b 128 -C 6 -R 48000 --ignorelength --utf8 -o "test_en_aid_128__09_38_42_868_02.ogg" -
both don't show any progress besides time-elapsed here,...

[J_Darnley]

Well that's just wrong. You told oggenc to use raw input when it is wav so of course there is no progress. Are you really using oggenc version 1? You should be using oggenc2. You could also just use sox to encode.

[Selur]

I tested with:
a. oggenc that comes with vorbis-tools on current Ubuntu systems
b. oggenc2 provides by rarewares

Since I never used oggenc before, since I normally don't use ogg: if you know a way to tweak the command calls please speak up since 'Well that's just wrong.' doesn't really help. :)

[J_Darnley]

I must apologise. It seems that oggenc doesn't like the ffmpeg|sox|oggenc2 combination. It spits out errors and doesn't encode anything. So yes, if you are going to use oggenc then it looks like it will have to be raw input.

[Selur]

So no ogg support until I find a way to get some progress indication with oggenc or another way to create ogg vorbis content.
(made a feature request (https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1696) over at xiph)

[Riki]

Hi Selur. May I ask what to adjust in hybrid to get the most lossess conversion (and easiest to edit with a video editing program)? I did set CQ to Lossless but Im not sure if the colors were preserved and other stuff. Are there other settings I can adjust, or is there a profile I can look at?

The goal is lossless quality, yet fast playback/editing.

[Selur]

colors are always be yv12 (4:2:0), so if you input rgb you will lose some.
lossless + http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1396455 is probably a good start

[Riki]

thanks, although on the hybrid encoding tests the quality did not look so good on certain frames (with thin colored lines, etc). I was hoping there were other setting involved, but I guess CRF is probably the best option for now.

[Selur]

could be a TV/PC scale or a Rec.601, Rec.709 problem but I don't know of any way to control these through ffmpeg/mencoder (or another tool besides avisynth) so I couldn't add options to modify these. (Googled a lot but didn't find anything about it on the net regarding mencoder/ffmpeg. :()

Cu Selur

Would anyone prefer aften for ac3 encoding over ffmpeg?
I'm thinking about adding support for an addition option to select aften as encoder, but I'm not sure if it would be useful to have some of aftens options, besides bitrate and quality available through the gui?

@ckmox: sadly, the error report you posted doesn't help me at all. No version info nothing about the configuration you used,...
from the first post of this thread:
Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. Debug output would be helpful. (misc->misc settings->create debug file)
5. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix.
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a hopefully fixed version for testing via pm.
Problem is probably related to the decoding or encoding call used, but without at least knowing how these look like I can't really fix it. :)

The only thing I noticed "not a bug" is when encoding up multiple files at once the progress bar on the jobs tab jumps quickly between the 2 encoding job's progress.
Its no big deal and its rather funny to watch... Guess I'm a bit bored atm...

Analysing finished.

Also tried with an Mkv and hybrid would freeze.

[Selur]

Most of the audio analysis is done through mplayer, so it's probably a problem with mplayer or mplayers output.
Please activate debug output (Config->Misc settings->General->Create debug file) before loading the source and send me the debug file.
Also make sure you reset the default settings before using the latest version. (Config->'Reset Defaults'button)

Cu Selur

Ps.: just did a test on my Ubuntu 64bit build system -> worked fine there,...

[SilverL]

It was in fact mplayer. I put in a new ppa that uses the latest version. Its working again now. Thanks.

[Selur]

Happy to help. :)

I was trying to encode a multi episode dvd with your latest version of Hybrid today but it was crashing before it started. I have uploaded the log file as it would be too big to display properly on the forum.

On what OS are you using Hybrid? Fixed some bugs that might be related to your crash a few days ago and would send you my current development version. :)

just a question when i set "Tune" to "Animation" and click Apply button repeatedly is the frames and b-frames for example needed to be incremented? or its some sort of a bug? i have limited knowledge on x264 btw so im wondering about this

thanks

[Selur]

atm. x264 defines --tune animation like this:
- animation (psy tuning):
--bframes {+2} --deblock 1:1
--psy-rd 0.4:<unset> --aq-strength 0.6
--ref {Double if >1 else 1} source: x264 --fullhelp
-> you if you apply this multiple times b-frames and ref will increase :)

[ckmox]

@Selur

ah ok thanks so its really the behavior of x264

[VincAlastor]

selur, yesterday i have tested your well designed gui. everything works great. the m2ts output feature is very nice. i don't know how, but could you make it possible to load .avs files with dgmultisource filter, please? furthermore a video preview function for "user friendly" definition of x264 zones were be great too (like staxrip's zone features).
and if somebody could upload a hybrid 64bit hybrid tools folder i will be happy, than i can't find ffmpeg x64 (http://ffmpeg.arrozcru.org/autobuilds/) and the right x64 .exe/.dll files from other tools. so than thank you selur :)

[Selur]

Problem with a 64bit package for Windows is:
1. there's a bug in ffmpeg that hasn't been fixed (see: http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue1889) and prevents people form building 64bit ffmpeg builds
2. I have never seen a 64bit mencoder build for windows
and x64 versions for anything other than mencoder/mplayer, ffmpeg and x264 are really not that interesting since all the other tools don't really benefit speed wise from going 64bit

About extended Avisynth Support:
There are three reasons why I haven't added support for DGMultiSource and Avisynth script generation in general.
1. Hybrid is ment to run on Windows and Linux and there's no native stable running Avisynth version for Linux (and I don't like wine).
2. Last time I checked DGMultiSource wasn't free to use. (+ needs wine to run on linux + ffmpeg and mencoder can't be used as input)
3. I got no NVIDA graphiccard atm. (ordered one but it will at least take another week to arrive here :()

About the preview:
Problem there is I haven't found a way to properly use mplayer.exe for frame accurate positioning, especially going back a frame causes problems and the fact that mplayer changed the position output it gives through the command line when it seeks. I would probably have to write my own media player based on the libaries mplayer uses to get a better grip on this.
+ I haven't found a good crossplatform alternative for mplayer for the preview. :( (thought about a gstreamer based solution, but that also would require something like mplayer or ffmpeg in the background to be able to handle all the formats)


=> I'm happy you like Hybrid, but it seems like none of your wishes are probably fulfilled in the near future.
(but they are on my 'would be nice to have as a feature'-list, especially the preview thing since it would allow more comfortable cropping, cutting and setting chapter points)
Sorry.

Cu Selur

[VincAlastor]

thank you anyway. selur, do you know how i could integrate tsmuxer in staxrip? i know all of my wishes to hybrid are integrated in megui x64, but on my win 7 x64 system with .net framework 4 megui don't working right, the encodings are significant slower than with staxrip.

[Selur]

No clue about staxrip never looked at it's sources. Probably best ask stax76 (http://forum.doom9.org/member.php?u=13377) about adding support for it. :)

Hybrid ver.100615

*changed*
- use fractions for framerate for ffmpeg, mencoder, mkvmerge and x264 calls
- clear subtitle queue and subtitle input on source change
- take path of last subtitle input as start

*fixed*
- mkv audio&subtitle set default
- crash when 'Remove' was pressed on an empty subtitle queue
- job list save/load (by using another separator)
- autocrop call: missing " around mplayer path

*changed*
- added border to preview windows (to add a tooltip)

*fixed*
- collision of .mp4 file creation and mkv Default-Track feature

'Reset Defaults' in Config-Tab on first start

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100623

*added*
- VP8/webm support (using ivfenc atm. will switch to ffmpeg/mencoder once they both support it svn native and I tested it a bit)

*fixed*
- frame rate scaling with mencoder as decoder and outputframerate > deinterlaced framerate
- auto chapter import from dvd sources
- Xvid encoding
- Xvid encoder progress
- close mplayer when Preview windows was closed manually

*changed*
- moved 'global options' to the front in mkvmerge call
- removed unneeded sox calls
- removed '--no-global-tags' and '--no-track-tags' since mkvmerge only imports tracks without tags in it inside Hybrid

*updated*
- windows 32bit package

[Riki]

Very cool to see VP8 support :)

A small question is when you put *updated* - windows 32bit package, does that mean the 64bit version is old? I guess I should be grabbing the 32 instead :p

[Selur]

When updating Hybrid (all versions) I sometimes update the 32bit package,...
from the first post:As downloads I will provide the most recent version on it's own (Hybrid -only) and a nearly complete (can't distribute neroaacenc) win32 package.
Since the win32 package normally probably will not include the newest Hybrid version it's adviced to download the newest package, extract it, download the newest 'Hybrid - only' version and extract it in the same folder as the package. (There's no distribution package with an installer for Windows or Linux, since I totally don't have the nerv or time to read up how-to a. create a package for each OS and b. how to maintain it.)
...

Hybrid Win64 package:
A 64bit package for windows would be possible since most of these tools are available as 64bit versions, but I'm not providing one (too much hassle). In general it's not a problem to just replace the 32bit version of one of the tools with it's 64bit conterpart. (I'm developing mainly on 64bit systems, so I replaced most of the 32bit tools)

-> Yes, all 64bit Hybrid versions are old since a new one was released. :)
-> updated links in 1st post

Cu Selur

[Riki]

ahh, I think I understand. So you updated the package. I was thinking you only updated the 32bit .exe file and nothing else.

So I am correct that you also updated the 64bit exe?

[Riki]

Yes, I see my mistake. Sorry for the dumb questions :p

THanks for updating the package, it saves me time searching for other updates :)

[Selur]

"So I am correct that you also updated the 64bit exe? "
Yup :)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100624

*added*
- mkv: option to disable "header compression" (some hardware players need this to be disabled)
- Visual aided cropping via 'Crop view'
(enable 'Enable cropping' and 'Crop view', then press 'Preview' to use it; look at the tooltip of the preview to understand how to use it)

*fixed*
- mkv multiplexing

This isnt a big deal but when I drop multiple avi files in the input hybrid will crash (using the latest 32bit package). Im also using "custom add all" for the audio. If I only do single avi files it works fine.

[Selur]

@Riki: update to the latest binary,... (as far as I remember I fixed that but didn't write it in the changelog :))

[Riki]

oh great, works perfect now :)

[flebber]

Selur when Hybrid detects multiple episodes on a dvd, would it be possible to have it "batch" all episodes into queue once settigs applied. Perhaps just incrementing the output in the muxed title or similar.

[Selur]

"Queue Titles" should do that if you press it,... :)

Hybrid ver.100703

*added*
- automatically prevent sleep mode on Windows systems (no clue how to do that on linux systems)
- option to start current queue at a specified time (Hybrid needs to be open for this to work)
- "--open-gop none/display/coded" - parameters

*fixed*
- job queue not processed linear
- cutting (piping mencoder decoder calls through ffmpeg for more accurate cutting)
- adjusting output frame rate and output frame count when enabling cut support
- aac audioid when muxing with mkvmerge
- mkvmerge progress indication
- stopping and then removing a job didn't free up a slot in the encoding client
- backup analysis based on ffmpeg
- .sfd support
- .bik input handling (converting bink dct audio to wav now and using mplayer for video analysis)

*changed*
- allow .sup (PGS) subtitle for mkv output

[ckmox]

thanks for the updates

[flebber]

with your latest version when I press queue titles Hybrid is freezing. The error seems to relate to DXVA compatibility and mod 16. I have selected mod 16 in the crop and resize section of Hybrid. I have an output of 720 x 576.

I have uploaded the debug info for you http://www.mediafire.com/file/znjgvjvftnm/HybridDebugOutput.txt

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4764063282_53fae6764d.jpg

Edit as an aside you can see in top right corner that video is showing as scan type progressive, however Hybrid reported interalced material and automatically set yadif to on. Mediainfo agrees that it is interalced.

Width : 720 pixels
Height : 576 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16:9
Frame rate : 25.000 fps
Standard : PAL
Color space : YUV
Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0

[Selur]

I'll try to reproduce it. :)
->
- can't reproduce it with my current development version, check your PM :)
- about the interlacing: can't say anything about it since you enabled the debug output after loading the source, so I don't have the analysis data Hybrid collected.

[flebber]

A little confused. There were 4 full titles in the dvd input and a 5th title short extra.

Hybrid has detected all titles, I pressed queue titles and start but at the end of the encoding I have only ended up with 1 title and 3 title reports. I ended up with output file title 3_1-7. This was the log.

[Selur]

log doesn't help me at all :)
Only thing I can tell you is that Hybrid encoded Title 3 (chapter 1-7) Job: 12_23_12_343, started the audio encoding of job 12_23_13_921 but stopped because it had troubles with the audio C:\DOCUME~1\Family\LOCALS~1\Temp\Title_5_1-7_en_aid_128__12_23_13_921_01.ac3 too small.

-> can't tell you what went wrong (see 1st post that I need to reproduce a bug)

[flebber]

How can I help you reproduce it? Its a dvd input for a TV show which features 4 full episodes. Is there a test I can run? Because it loads and encodes okay just not getting the expected 4 files output.

[Selur]

from the first post of this thread:
Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. Debug output would be helpful. (Config->misc settings->create debug file)
5. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix. :)
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a hopefully fixed version for testing via pm.
-> Starting Hybrid, activating Debug Ouput, do what you do to create the problem, send me the debug output and I have a bunch of infos to work with. ;)
(if it's just one DVD thats causing the problem it could also be a problem with the way the dvd was ripped <- this was the cause of the last problem related to DVD analysis)

[flebber]

Ah yes realise that in this case though slightly different

1) Used Hybrid version 100703 with DXVA fix.
2) No error messages
3) What I did to get the bug was to load a DVD Input folder with multiple episodes 4 episodes. Then applied x264 config, selected "Generate Output names" and selected "Queue Titles"
4) http://www.mediafire.com/file/uynojexyu13/HybridDebugOutput.txt
5. Will a sample file be useful? The file that did output was fine it is just that there was only 1 output not 4.

[Selur]

Won't need a sample file, but the debug file doesn't include the DVD analysis :( best specify the output before loading the source to be sure where to look for the debug file.
Does Hybrid detect the right length&co for the titles on the DVD?

[flebber]

Here is the HybridDebug with the path specified. http://www.mediafire.com/file/jwyoook14mm/HybridDebugOutput.txt

Edit : I realise that the encoding only started at file 3 because I had the option "On DVD Load - Select Longest File" selected. This meant that Hybrid started from file 3 not file 1 as I expected.

[Selur]

Yup, checked the code: When pressing 'Queue Title' only the titles starting at the current title are queued atm. -> will fix that and start from title 1. :)

Will send you a new version via PM. :)
(Will also probably tomorrow night release a new public version for everyone.)

Cu Selur

[flebber]

Something minor I noticed as well there is no option to select none as X264 tune option. As I am encoding TV I feel I should be using no x264 option as my understanding is that film is for "live action".

[Selur]

Here's how tune (and preset) options work in Hybrid:
You select a tune option and press "Apply"
- current configuration will then be changed according to the tune option
-> so you can apply multiple tune options ;)
For the x264 call (if not disabled) Hybrid minimizes the call by checking which preset/tune bests fits the current settings and then additionally hides the defaults. :)
=> if you didn't 'apply' a tune/preset none is 'active'

Since Hybrid doesn't remember the settings before applying the tune option, there's no way to 'un-apply' the option. :)

Cu Selur

[flebber]

Well the tune will work fine for me then :thanks:

The queue with the new version is actually starting from the middle.

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4094/4770822817_4374b55f05.jpg

if no job (or subjob of a job) is selected the queue should start with the first job, if a specific job (or subjob of a job) is selected Hybrid will start with that job. :)

Hi Selur

result for 100707 was 3 output files. 1_1-7, 2_1-7 and 3_1-7. There was no output for 4.

There were 2 reports for 3_1-7 with different suffixes.

It actually appears that encoding hasn't worked the video is "mangled".

[flebber]

I have a seperate Music DVD with multiple songs, so will rip that now and test with Hybrid to see what result occurs :)

[Selur]

Totally strange it's like Hybrid is missing the resolution,.. (will do some additional testing later today and try to reproduce&fix this :))

[flebber]

I encoded two of the songs, this time the only thing different I have done is to press "add to queue" instead of "queue titles".

http://www.mediafire.com/file/onnjqg1guhy/HybridDebugOutput.txt

Edit: The encodes worked

[Selur]

Yeah I know there's something broken, just need some time to track it down. ;)

[Selur]

-> found a bug and I got a 'guess' what happend on your last encode.
You enabled crop (no source loaded and AutoCrop disabled)
-> Hybrid set crop values to 48:48:0:0
You enabled resize (to 720x...)
You loaded the source.
-> since crop was enabled, but AutoCrop not, Hybrid assumed you wanted to take the first 48x48 pixels of your source and resize it to something with 720x... (which ended up as: 720x...)
so what you see are the first 48x48 pixels of your source. :)
No bug in Hybrid there, but I found another small bug, when en-/disabling the gui.
Will send you a fixed version for testing. ;)

'Reset Defaults' in Config-Tab on first start

-> updated links in 1st post

[Riki]

I found a tiny bug. If you check "Adjust output path to source path" and then save the global profile, it will save the current output path in the global profile. It would be better if that was reset for each new source path.

[Selur]

it will be since you also save the "Adjust output path to source path" setting ;)

[Riki]

I love how fast Hybrid adds new features and support. However its very hard for me to re-create my global profiles everytime a new version comes out. Is there a way to upgrade older profiles? :)

[Selur]

Most of the time, it's probably enough to startup and instead of reset save the current profile, next release will complain about specific parts so one could manually look at these parts an adjust them.
Also save additional Audio&Video Profiles helps since the normally don't change much. ;)

Cu Selur

[Riki]

Thanks for the fast response! Thats a good idea about the audio&video profiles, I will try that. :)

[killerhex]

any chance for FLV input

[Selur]

What's the problem with flv input? (last flv I tried worked fine)
-> if you got a flv that causes a problem send me a sample

Reset All Defaults in Config-Tab on first start

[Riki]

I just realized the Enable (un)sharpen isnt working anymore. I tried setting it to the highest setting and even checking "enable postprocessing". This is a very useful feature I hope can get fixed :)

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/3707/unsharp.png

[Selur]

Will look at it once I'm finished posting the new release. :)
Some additional Info e.g. what the source is, what decoder is used might be helpful -> 1st guess: try if it helps if you disable Config->Misc settings->'Prefer FFmpeg as decoder'.

Cu Selur

[Riki]

Thanks. Im encoding an avi file (techsmith screencapture codec) to x264 crf 1-pass. Im not sure about the decoder?

[Selur]

"Im not sure about the decoder? " -> add the job to the job queue, change into the 'jobs' tab, disable the 'Minimize job command lines' and you should see the decoder call. ;)

[Riki]

Ahh I see, in that case it shows ffmpeg. :)

[Selur]

"try if it helps if you disable Config->Misc settings->'Prefer FFmpeg as decoder'."
-> forgot to enforce this automatically (will send you a fixed version if you tell me what build you need)

Cu Selur

[Riki]

ok cool. Im using the windows 32bit package for convenience.

When I change the settings I see mencoder is used instead of ffmpeg, so mencoder is required for the unsharpen?

[Selur]

yup, ffmpeg got nearly no filters (which aside from the missing dvd input support is one of the main things that really hurt ffmpeg and why a lot of people prefer mencoder). :(

Cu Selur

[Riki]

works perfect, thanks for the fast support Selur!! :D

[Riki]

There is unfortunately a problem with mencoder and changing the output framerate. I did a test with the same settings on both and when using mencoder as the decoder the entire video has compression problems with screen movement. So when something moves in the bottom of the video, the top gets blurry and compression artifacts. This only happens when changing the output framerate, if I leave the output framerate the same it doesnt happen.

I will send you a PM with 2 video examples to see the difference.

[Selur]

DebugLogs? (or better: how do the decoder calls look)
Can't fix/reproduce it without some additional infos,...
ffmpeg is probably simply dropping frames and mencoder tries some motion adaption,..

-> mencoder probably uses filmdint=io=from:to which should be better on normal material but seems like it causes problems with your material,...
will have to read a bit in the mencoder documentation for other ways to properly lower the framerate with mencoder :)

[Riki]

Yes it sounds like you figured out the problem already. However I just sent you a PM with the logs. I am forced to either use ffmpeg without sharpening or mencoder without frame reduction. Hard choice :)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100713

*fixed*
- prefering mencoder when using denoise, sharpen or postProcessing
- ffmpeg analyser (flv analyse working again)
- mplayer now forcing -demuxer mkv for mkv input during Audio/Video - IDgrabbing.

*added*
- option to en-/disable filmdint=io usage when dropping frames with mencoder, if disabled -ofps will just drop frames
(should be enabled for normal clips and disabled for screen captures)

Reset GlobalModel Defaults in Config-Tab on first start

Hybrid ver.100713_1

*fixed*
- windows only: only use mpeg12 when DVD input or MPEG input and not transportstream input
- absolute path adjustment (cause problem when path contained x264)

-> updated links in 1st post

[Riki]

I can confirm the mencoder with framereducing works great now :)

I found another bug and hopefully this one can be easily reproduced on your side. When I drop multiple avi files in the input and encode them, only the 1st video gets encoded correctly. The 2nd+ videos have the same video as the 1st video, but different audio.

So on multiple videos only the audio is getting encoded correctly, the video only takes the first one for all videos. I hope this makes since, it happens to me even on the latest version. The workaround is to only drop 1 file at a time and add to queue, then it will work perfectly.

[Selur]

Can reproduce it seems to only occur with mencoder as decoder,.. will send you a fixed version once I find the cause of the problem,..
shouldn't be hard to track. :)

[Riki]

Thanks, you fixed it and works perfectly now :)

[Riki]

Ideas for future versions of hybrid:

play custom sound at the end of each video encode
play custom sound at the end of all encodes

*Column in the Job Queue showing the final video output name (easy to know what is encoding)
Sortable rows in Job Queue - drag to change order or video encodes in queue

* = seems like it could be easy to add and very useful :)

[Selur]

- playing a custom sound: will have to look up how to play sounds at all :)
- adding an additional column with the output name is probably no problem
- rearranging the jobs will probably not come in th near future since I would have to redesign a bunch of things and managing (updating, checking states,..) the job queue and playback order would get more complicated. (so I'll keep it in mind but don't hold your breath for it)

Cu Selur

[Riki]

ahh cool, simply adding the output name as a column would be very useful...maybe another column for path? :)

Imagine being able to click the name or the path to change them, I know that would be very difficult but a neat feature. Im just giving ideas because I do a lot of video encoding with different software each day. I mainly use Adobe Media Encoder, Sorenson Squeeze, Virtual Dub, Hybrid, etc. Hybrid is the best of them all! ;)

[Selur]

I'll think about it. :)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100716

thanks for new version

[Selur]

@all: little sidenote about the windows package: I forgot to update the x264 version, but there's no problem with using the newest x264 version from .e.g x264.nl in Hybrid

[Riki]

I love the new features, works great!

[Riki]

Im having a problem that has been around for a long time. On many of my encodes the last second of audio is a very fast, loud and high pitched noise. I have tried encoding with the different nero options and even not using nero but its there everytime. The only workaround I have found is to mux separately encoded audio but that is very time consuming. Has anyone see this issue?

[Selur]

No problem here. Got a small sample + settings to reproduce it?

[Riki]

sure, Ill send one in a bit via PM. :)

[Riki]

I have been encoding a lot and love all the new features. I encoded 350 long avi files overnight without any problems :)

Here are a few suggestions:

Sounds: The queue sound plays when the last video in the list is converted (instead of when the queue is finished). This causes the queue sound to be played every time the last video is finished. So if you are encoding 4 at the same time the last video may be done before the others, which causes the queue sound to play multiple times.

Suffix: Since I encode many videos at the same time I use the auto path and filename. However I need to encode the same source file again with different settings, sometimes added to the same queue. This will override the first encode. Is it possible to have a suffix option to the filename?

[Selur]

Will fix the queue sound when I'm back home and send you a new test version.
(will think about the suffix and how to implement it properly)

[Selur]

Hybrid ver.100731

- jopQueueFinished sound played to often with parallel count > 1

*added*
- option to set 'generate output' pre-/suffix
- frame counter for raw MPEG-4 part2

*changed*
- don't set p4x4 when hardware restriction is enabled and a preset is loaded that would a activate it

*updated*
- windows 32bit package

I'll be mainly offline now for vacation and work for the next month (starting today). But here's some good news:
With the major help of netcasthd I'll release a NVIDA library based Windows h.264 command line encoder and a Hybrid version which is adjusted for it around the 15th and 16th of September. :)
(support for vc-1 will follow in October)

Cu in a month Selur

Ps.: I'll try to check email from time to time (so PMs should reach me), but don't expect me to react fast.

[Tadream]

Have a nice vacation.
I've just updated the Linux64bit version.
Still using it from time to time, works great.

[Selur]

back from DomRep and before I'm off to shanghai:
Hybrid ver.100915

*added*
- a CUDA based H.264 encoder to Hybrid <- special thanks for netcasthd
*updated*
- windows 32bit package (includes a 64bit folder which includes 64bit avsInfo, cuda and FrameCounter versions)

-> updated links in 1st post

[flebber]

what's the advantage of the Netcasthd CUDA based H.264 encoder ?

[Selur]

No real advantage, it's mainly 'just' another encoder frontend for the dlls from NVIDIA like e.i. the one that comes with mediacoder. But since I couldn't find any real docu about that one, we wrote one ourself so that we would have a documentation for it. :)
Here are the available options through the command line:
Usage: cuda --input "path to input file" --resolution WIDTHxHEIGHT --output "path to output file"
example: 'cuda --input test.yuv --resolution 640x352 --output test.264'

Required Settings:
-----------------------
--resolution <value>x<value> specify the resolution of the input file (needs to be at least mod2)
--output <value> specify the input file (the encoder doesn't care about the extension)

Global Settings:
-----------------------
--codec <value> selects the encoder values: vc-1, h.264 (h.264)
--input <value> specify the raw input file or - for pipe input (-)
--sar <value>x<value> set the pixel aspect ratio, e.g. 1x1, 16x11 (1x1)
--format <value> set input color format: UYVY, YUY2, YV12, NV12, IYUV (IYUV)
--control_mode <value> select the rate control method:
allowed for h.264: cbr, vbr, cq, vbr_rest (vbr_rest)
allowed for vc-1: cbr (cbr)
--bitrate <value> target bitrate kBit/s (1500) - only for cbr, vbr, vbr_rest
--bitrate_peak <value> maximal bitrate peak kBit/s (62000) - only for cbr, vbr, vbr_rest
--fps <value> set the ouput frame rate (25/1)
--fps <numerator/denominator>
--profile <value> select a profile for the output stream:
allowed for h.264: baseline, main, high (high)
allowed for vc-1: simple, main (main)
--level <value> select a profile for the output stream:
allowed for h.264: 10,11,12,13,20,21,22,30,31,32,40,41,42,50,51 (auto)
allowed for vc-1: low, medium, high, auto (auto)
--offload <value> specify gpu work offload, values: partial, full (partial)
--forceGPU <value> set if you want to force a specific gpu to be used: 0/1 (NA)
--measure <value> during encoding measure: FPS, PSNR, FPS_PSNR, NONE (FPS)
--showFrameStats <value> set how often frame stats should be posted during encoding: 0- (0 = disable)
(only when measure FPS/FPS_PSNR is used)


H.264 only settings:
------------------------
--frame_typ <value> set the outptu frame typ: frame, top, bottom (frame)
--pframe_dist <value> set the minimum distance between two p-frames (1)
--gop_max <value> set the maximum distance between two key frames (250)
--dynamicGOP <value> set whether or not gop structure should be choosen dynamically: true/false (true)
--pquant_min <value> set a min quantizer for p-frames (0) - only with vbr_rest
--bquant_min <value> set a min quantizer for b-frames (0) - only with vbr_rest
--iquant_min <value> set a min quantizer for i-frames (0) - only with vbr_rest
--deblock <value> dis-/enable deblocking: true/false (true)
--deinterlace <value> dis-/enable deinterlacing: true/false (false)
--preset <value> select a preset: psps, ipod, avchd, bluray, hdv1440
--cavlc <value> use CAVLC instead of CABAC entropy coding
--nal_typ <value> select nal-unit type: auto, 1-4 (auto)
--sps_pps <value> dis-/enable sps_pps flaf (true)
--slices <value> set slice count: auto, 1-4
which offers all the options I could find in the nvidia documentation to user.

I did some testing and yes x264 is a tiny bit faster and delivers better quality on my i7 875k. (both are around 600fps for DVD Material piped through mencoder)
The main reasons to add this encoder is just to have a free h.264/vc-1 encoder (where I know what the options do) that uses the nvidia libaries because I was pissed of that the one with mediacoder didn't have some documentation.
Not totally sure for which group of users this encoder really is an interesting choice next to x264, but I was curious how these encoders would perform quality&speed wise.


Cu Selur

[Riki]

Very interesting, I cant wait to play with that new option.

I downloaded the new package (win32 100915) and nothing will go into the job queue. I made sure everything was reset and added a video and hit add to queue, but nothing is ever in the queue.

Also, since an earlier version, when adding multiple files and using baseline profile - a popup box happens with each video. So if I add 100 videos and hit "add to queue" I have to hit ok for every popup box warning me that the video/audio may not be in sync.

Have a great trip!! :)

[Selur]

will be back at home on thursday and have a look at it (removing the warning shouldn't be a problem), the job queue thing is strange, might help if you activate debug output and send me a pm with the output :)

[Riki]

Ok, I am an idiot and I apologize again, haha. This is the 2nd time it got me..I forgot to check "Generate Output Name". Perhaps a popup to warn people, just in case?

Also, with the newest version I no longer seem to have the baseline warning popup. Sorry for the false alarms!!

[franzrogar]

First, a "huge" thankyou for this tool. I've been looking for exactly this long time ago. And, btw, great work :-)

I'm using last version and Linux 64bits (ArchLinux) and I've some things I'd like to comment, if you don't mind:

1 - There's a bug with "output filename" having the "hyphen" character in it. Job stops with a "file couldn't be found" because, in Linux, "hyphen" char is used to pipe output to stdout. In my case I was using something like "Movie - Extended version.mkv" and it failed to find "Movie" file (which, of course, didn't existed).

2 - Please, this' a request: if there's a job running or, even, if there's any job in queue, when clicking "exit" button, please, ask first if you want to exit program... Maybe someone clicked it by mistake >.<

3 - For Linux 64 bits, "tsmuxer" and "neroaacenc" are 32-bits only programs. I'd be great to note it somewhere... mainly because some people wants pure 64 bits environments.

4 - There's no linux builds for "avsInfo" and source code is... "tied" to Windows headers. Would it be possible to "port" it to Linux? If not, would it be run using "wine" or ignored by Hybrid?

5 - Would it be possible to add a switch or flag or something else so program don't pop-up "I miss this program" each time it starts? Mainly because if there's no way to add "avsInfo" (as noted before), it'd be painful to see the pop-up always...


And, finally, just to let you know how I'm grateful to you, here's something like a "test": recoding a movie at L3.1 with Avidemux took 23h 32min in my laptop. Using your frontend, recoding at L4.1 took... 5h 12min. Seriously, I don't know what on earth Avidemux does internally... but it's "fired" from my laptop.

Again, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[Selur]

regarding 1: should be fixed in the next release (tomorrow evening)
regarding 2: will think about it (since I'm normally not really found of the 'are you sure ...' popups ;))
regarding 3: will add a comment in the first post
regarding 4: will remove it from the dependencies for linux (and also check that wine is used when it's used on linux systems atm)
regarding 5: should be fixed with 4 since I think the 'missing tools'-popup should stay there

regarding a 'test': you could just encode a small part (using e.g. the crop options) for speed testing, not sure how to add it as a feature in a meaningful way

Cu Selur

[Selur]

regarding 4&5: just checked the code and normally avsInfo should only be checked and mentioned as missing on Windows systems,.. (my ubuntu system isn't complaining about a missing avsInfo)

[franzrogar]

True, it doesn't look for avsInfo. I don't know why I added it. Sorry for inconveniencies.... :o

[Selur]

No problem, and as a side note: on linux when avsInfo is called it will be used with a 'wine' in front of it. ;)

[franzrogar]

I've tested last build and found no problem so far :-D

Great work. Congrats! And thank you very much ;-)

Hi Selur,
I have some problems with Hybrid 20101126 (package for Windows 32 bit);
1)the settings I change disappear every time I close the program (MKV in place of mp4 as standard output container). Why isn't it kept in memory ?
2)when I set chapters every x minute in a 4m38s video (short extract for my 1st test), chapters are added on 0, 1, 2 and 3rd minute in place of 1, 2, 3 and 4th minute.
3)I can't edit the timing of these chapters (nothing happens when I try to change the start time)
4)when I click on edit, the chapter is erased !
5)I can't add chapter to those created
6)every time I click on input file or output file, it opens the Hybrid32bit folder. Opening the last folder opened would be more convenient.
7)my standalone Sony player can't play the MKV created by Hybrid (in passthrough mode) though it plays the MKV done by MKVMerge with the same mp4 videos !

Thanks for your work ;)

[Selur]

1.) because you didn't save the settings (Config->Save->All OR Config->Save->GlobalDataModel->Selected)
2.) will fix, should be 0,1,2,3,4
3.-5.) will look into it
6.) it opens the folder specified as default input/output folder (Config->Path settings)
7.) iirc Sony players don't like the header compression for mkv files (Config->Container settings->Mkv Settings->Disable mkv header compression) other than that no clue without a debug log

@Music Fan: What sort of Hybrid version do you use? (win32/64, linux32/64) Think I got it fixed and want to send you a Testversion. ;)
@all: Think I messed up with the mencoder build that's in the win32 package, best replace it with a version from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/
(will update the package once, a new r32649 is posted there; got no time to get my own win32 mencoder build system properly running)

Hi Selur,
I have some problems with Hybrid 20101126 (package for Windows 32 bit)
;)

Thanks a lot !

[Selur]

Just updated the test download (link is still the same) 1min ago to my current developement build, since I added a small gimmick. (crop resolution is shown in 'Crop View' and 'Avisynth'-Style cropping)

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Ok, I got it (I guess you mean the link you sent me in pm).

[Selur]

Here some general description how chapter editing is intended to work in Hybrd:

I. Loading a source
------------------------
a. you load a source without chapters and have the 'If input got no chapters set one every X min' set to the interval you want
-> Hybrid will then add every X minutes a Chapterpoint, naming the chapter Points "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2",...
b. you load a source with chapters and 'Import chapters on input change' is activated
-> Hybrid will import the chapters from the source and name them "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2",...
c. you load a source and no activate non of the automatic chapter adding options, but add a bunch of chapters yourself (see below: Editing a chapter list -> to add an additional entry to the list)

=> this leaves you with a chapterlist with times and names.

2. Editing a chapter list
-------------------------
- to add an additional entry to the list: set a "Start time" (& if you like a "Chapter description"), press 'Add' Hybrid will insert the new entry in the current list according to it's "Start Time"
- to remove all chapter entries from the list: press 'Remove all' -> Hybrid will clear the entries in the chapter list
- to remove a chapter entry from the list: press 'Remove' -> Hybrid will remove the entry
- to edit a chapter entry from the list: press 'Edit' -> Hybrid will remove the entry and load the values from the entry to "Start time" and "Chapter description" so you can edit them and add the modified chapter entry by pressing 'Add'

=> now the chapter list should look like you want it to

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

To edit we have to press remove, as to remove ? I guess you mean that we have to click on edit to ... edit. ;)

[Music Fan]

I have a problem to add neroAacEnc.exe in the tools : I get this message : "GlobalDataModel doSet->found no field: neroAacEnc".

[Selur]

I guess you mean that we have to click on edit to ... edit.
Yup

I have a problem to add neroAacEnc.exe in the tools : I get this message : "GlobalDataModel doSet->found no field: neroAacEnc".
will fix (small typo)
The error is: "GlobalDataModel doSet->found no field: neroAacenc", should be "neroAacEnc"


-----------------------------

Hybrid rev.101201

*added*
- 'Auto passthrough subtitle on source change'
- 'Extract and Add' (subtitles) button: when pressed currently selected subtitles will be extracted and added to the subtitle queue for the current

video input

*fixed*
- freeze for no audio ids
- typo "neroAacenc"->"neroAacEnc"
- bug that set max chapter time to 0 :/

*changed*
- force mencoder as decoder for ProRes and VC-3 (i.e. DNxHD) input
- tweaked file analysis (if mplayer finds id but no audio info, tsMuxer&mediaInfo will look for them)
- small adjustments to better handle .mov content with mencoder

*adjusted*
- x264 blu-ray vui: bt470bg for <= 720x576, otherwise bt709
- x264 presets (rc-lookahead for fast presets)

*cosmetics*
- showing crop resolution in 'Crop View' and 'Avisynth Style'
- rearranged some options

-> updated links in 1st post

[Music Fan]

Thanks for the update ;)

[chunkylover67]

I'm trying to encode videos to my PSP, but I can't seem to get the right settings so that it's compatible. Can someone tell me them please? It should mainly concern the x264 section of Hybrid.

[Selur]

iirc psp restrictions were something like this:
1. bit rate needs to be <= 768 kBit/s
2. resolution needs to be <= 640×480 (for firmware 5.00 or later)
3. frame rate needs to be <= 30 fps
4. H.264 ProfileLevel needs to be <= Main@2.1
5. max referneces need to be <= 2
6. stereo LC AAC 2-channel audio (<=48kHz) with a datarate <= 128kBit/s
(since I got no psp myself not totally sure about this, but should it should be a good start)

found some additional infos: http://rob.opendot.cl/index.php/useful-stuff/psp-video-guide/

Cu Selur

[chunkylover67]

Well I never encode using bitrate options. I always use constant quantizer or quality, usually some around 20-22. Plus, I've used programs where references frames were 3, and they always worked (Xvid4PSP, Ripbot264). I also tend to get into detail with the x264 options, e.g b-pyramids and motion estimation etc. I'd like some settings for those if possible?

[Selur]

motion estimation has nothing to do with hardware compatibility,...
according to http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tYGTjNd0dG6P_A9z-YkFzFg&output=html
Main@Level 3 with 3 references should be fine too. :)
there are also some more Infos: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=149711

[chunkylover67]

I've tried to use the settings given, however my PSP won't play the video. It says 'video cannot be played'. I've even created a test clip (10 secs long) and have been fondling with the settings for hours. Here's the ones I have now:

[Selur]

b-frames with weighted references with be a problem, but my guess is that crf 21 produces too high datarates for the psp

[chunkylover67]

The CRF being 21 is no problem. I've encoded videos with it and my PSP played it fine. I unchecked the weighted references and changed my CRF to 22. My PSP still won't play it.

[Selur]

No, clue than. Got no psp so all I can do is refer you to the linked sides from above.

[chunkylover67]

Well thanks for the help anyways.

[chunkylover67]

I've solved the problem. Apparently, b-pyramid was set to 2 instead of none. I changed it back and now it works!

[Selur]

strange, btw. current Hybrid Version is 101201.

[chunkylover67]

Is it possible for Hybrid to remember the output path? It's a tad annoying having to set it each time. Just a suggestion.

[Selur]

Sure, you can set a Default Output path under Conf->Path settings and if you Save the Defaults (GlobalDataModel is enought, but you can also save All), Hybrid will 'remember' your choice. ;)

Cu Selur

[-TiLT-]

Currently I need to do a Xvid/MP3 encode and want to mux to avi later. As Hybrid does not provide avi as output container, I need to calculate the overhead myself. What should be extracted from the video bitrate for later avi muxing?

Edit: Alright, found out myself, its 24 bytes per frame, video and audio.

[Selur]

Alright, found out myself, its 24 bytes per frame, video and audio.
better look here: Overhead of AVI files (http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/en_estimate_overhead.html#overhead_avi)

[-TiLT-]

Yes, much more precisely there. Thanks.
Pain in the ass to calculate. :)

[Selur]

The last days I send some time thinking about adding .avi output support and I nearly finished implementing it until the point where I needed to multiplex all the streams into a file.
Problem is neither mencoder nor ffmpeg allow to split a file while muxing by size.
I wrote some code that would, multiplex multiple audiostreams (with different delays) and a videostream into an .avi and even setting container tags using ffmpeg, but splitting the file in i.e. 700MB parts while muxing isn't possible afaik.
=> so no .avi output support unless I find a small crossplattform tool that allows multiplexing multiple audio streams, with a video stream into an avi, while adding container tags and splitting the output into specified chunks.

Cu Selur

[flebber]

Maybe I am missing the point here, its currently very hot and humid here in oz, but if you can output to mkv then why does it matter if ffmpeg or mencoder can split the file.

You already have a completed encoded mkv use AVI-Mux to re mux the final output to avi output at the end using avi-mux gui.

http://www.alexander-noe.com/video/amg/

[flebber]

See it is hot I forgot to ask are you going to implement DGindexNV.

1. does avi-mux even run natively under linux? thought is was a windows only tool,...
2. I can output to mkv/mp4/m2ts/webm and now I want to add avi output support and need a way to multiplex to avi add tags and split the avi by size (like I do for mkv/mp4/m2ts/webm)

See it is hot I forgot to ask are you going to implement DGindexNV.
Not sure if I can follow you,.. since Hybrid doesn't create .avs scripts everything regarding DGIndexNV would need to be handled by the user (I don't know if there's a problem with Hybrid and AvisynthScripts that use DGIndexNV, since I don't use DGIndexNV)
Sadly DGIndexNV can't simply used as decoder to output raw yuv, which could then be fed to the encoders.

The Log doesn't help much, it just shows that there was a problem creating the output,..

Wild guesses without knowing anything specific:
1. It might be a bug in the routine when to use the internal x264 decoder, so try if it helps to disable: 'x264->Misc->Adjustments->Use internal decoder if possible'
(Update: routine looks fine here, but could still be mencoder)
2. switch the mencoder.exe with one from http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/MPlayer%20and%20MEncoder/revision%2032674/

If this doesn't help:

I will try to reproduce this later.
Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use?(Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. Debug output would be helpful. (Config->Misc Settings->create debug file)
5. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix.
If you find a bug, I'll try to fix it and send you a hopefully fixed version for testing via pm.
=> I need a debug log.

Sorry for insufficient log data, and many thanks for your help.
I downloaded the Hybrid32bit 32bit package V. 20101126 from the first topic.
I noticed the above error was from MEncoder.exe, so I replaced it by the one from MeGUI software.

The Hybrid32bit 20101126 downloaded Mencoder.exe info:
File Version: 0.0.9.0
Product Version: Unknown-4.5.0
File Size: 4.31 MB

MeGUI Mencoder.exe info:
File Version: 0.0.9.0
Product Version: Sherpya-SVN-r28311-4.2.5
File Size: 5.31 MB

Now I have no error with this Mencoder.exe and 'Embed subtitle in frame' option goes with success.
Many thanks for your attention.

Selur you might want to take a look at Buzzqw's automen. it encodes to .avi and has a linux based version.

[Selur]

will have a look, but isn't it simple a mencoder gui? (afaik mencoder allows you to set a start&end time for a single split and doesn't allow split by size or tagging)
-> checked: automem doesn't support splitting or tagging at all

[Selur]

Hybrid rev.101212

*added*
- Xvid .avi output (no output splitting atm.)
- flac audio encoding

*changed*
- added time to name of output subtitle when extracting from dvd

*fixed*
- allow mod2 height for x264 internal
- subtitle language not correctly changed on title change

*cosmetics*
- .tag.xml.tag.xml -> .tag.xml

-> updated links in 1st post

[Selur]

@all: Don't use the .avi output, it's broken. (see: http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2446)

[Selur]

will probably remove avi support since the 'bug' I posted in the ffmpeg bug tracker (http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2446) was set to 'closed invalid',...

[Selur]

judging from the feedback I got:
If a player does not recognize 5.1 AC3 in avi, you should report this to the
developers of said player, but not here (this makes the issue invalid, since
here, only FFmpeg bug-reports are accepted).
over at http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2446
I created a new bug report for ffplay since it too (like vlc, mplayer, mpc-hc, wmp) doesn't correctly playback the avi(xvid, 5.1 ac3) files multiplexed with ffmpeg.
Reply: "This is not a valid issue." -> I give up

since cehoyos in the http://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue2446 thread doesn't quite get my problem and I feel incapable of some how make him understand that the muxing of 5.1 ac3 and xvid raw streams into an .avi container is broken in ffmpeg I give up on that front too.
-> if someone thinks he can communicate with cehoyos in a way for him to see the problem he is welcome to help, but atm I'm totally pissed of since I don't see where I went wrong.

-> cehoyos pointed out that ffmpeg muxes ac3 with 'high' bitrates in a way ffplay and all the other players can't properly playback the output .avi
=> seems like .avi output for Hybrid will have to wait until ffmpeg get's fixed. (looking at the list of bugs in the bugtracker this could take a while :()
(bug state is now 'open' so there's at least some hope for this to be fixed in a future ffmpeg release)

Hybrid rev.110101

*fixed*

- typo: itsoffet -> itsoffset

*updated*
- Windows package

Hi,
I have a problem with Hybrid : I installed the Hybrid Win32 package on a new pc (not connected to the web), and when I click on "set chapters every ...", nothing happens.
On my other pc, when I do that, the chapters are immediately created. I use passthrough mode.
The export in mkv works, but no chapter is added.

Other strange thing : when I open a file (mkv or mp4), the Mediainfo window appears 3 times and I have to close it 3 times to finish the analysis of the file.

[Selur]

MediaInfo window? Which MediaInfo window? There should be no such thing,... (unless someone switched the MediaInfo CL version that comes with the package with a MediaInfo GUI version,..)
Please read the 1st post about providing infos so that have at least a chance to replicate the problem. :)

[Music Fan]

I don't know what to add, I gave all informations, you know the version I have (package 32 bit 110101, the only one on first page), and i'm on Windows XP.
But that's not the biggest problem ; the chapters bug is.
Why is the list not created ?

[Selur]

I tried the following:
1. started Hybrid
2. loaded an .avi file
3. switched to the chapter section
4. activated 'If input got no chapters ...'
-> chapters were added to the list

so looking at the first post:
...
4. Debug output would be helpful. (Config->Misc Settings->create debug file)
...
Cu Selur

Ps.: since I couldn't reproduce the problem I send you a pm with a link to a test version of my current development build.

[Music Fan]

I tested your test version : my 2 problems are not there anymore (good news), but there is a new problem : the export is aborted !
In the Debug file, I get this message :
myvideo.mkv does not exist !
aborting ...

Something weird : when I go in the chapter tab, the option "set chapters every x minutes" is already checked and the list of chapters is there.

[Selur]

Without a non modified debugOutput and a step-by-step list what you did from a resetted Hybrid: NO CLUE!
mkv output works here without a problem.

myvideo.mkv does not exist !
aborting ...
this happend when the call(s) before this should have created a file named 'myvideo.mkv' but didn't
without a proper debugOutput I can't check if this:
1. is a bug in Hybrid i.e. looking for the wrong file, a mistake in the call
2. this is related to a bug in the tools that got called

Something weird : the option "set chapters every x minutes" is already checked and the list of chapters is there.
this happens if you save defaults,... (to be sure your defaults are the Hybrid default values go to: Config->Reset Defaults and press "All")

It's a Quicktime container but I changed the extension to mp4 (because my standalone player can play it with mp4 extension but not with mov extension).
Don't do such things!

Also check what happens if you call:

I suspect something went wrong with:
MP4Box -raw 0 "F:\Cowboys and aliens tlr1 1920.800 5.1.mov.mp4" -splitx 0:0 -out "C:\DOCUME~1\Roberto\LOCALS~1\Temp\Cowboys and aliens tlr1 1920.800 5.1_10_03_27_621_02.264"
since I'm not sure why it contains '-splitx 0:0'.

Think I found the problem, it's related to the extracting calls, will test and send you a link to a testversion later.

It's just to play on my standalone player, it works fine.

What do you mean ? How do I call it ?

Ok, thanks.:)

Anyway, I guess that there is a problem with Hybrid because I had not this problem before (I don't remember with which version because I re-installed Windows on my old pc on which I used Hybrid).
And I also made test with "real" mp4 files (mp4 container), and there was also this problem.

[Selur]

Problem lies in the analysis of the mov file. :) Hybrid grab's the wrong Audio&Video IDs and therefore tries to extract the wrong streams. :)

[Music Fan]

Ok, but same thing happens with mp4 files and mov files (with mov extension).
But I made a test with a MKV file (containing h264 and Dts), and it worked !:confused:

[Selur]

Same will happen with .3gp and m4a, m4v files,.. -> I know where the problem lies, but it takes some time to fix the problem.

[Music Fan]

Ok, good work. ;)

I have some suggestions (not very important) : it would be cool to ;
*have by default the good extension added after the output file name (MKV if MKV chosen in output settings)
*be able to ;
-choose langage for audio tracks
-choose fps and DAR for picture
-edit the output file name (if we forgot a word or if we didn't type it correctly) without having to retype it completely and keeping the same folder (to avoid to return to the default folder and re-find the folder we need)
-mux audio and video opened separately (like MKVmerge)

[Selur]

-choose langage for audio tracks
The audio language is shown if behind the audio selector, if Hybrid knowns which language the stream is.
-choose fps ...
you can change the fps under Filtering. (by scaling = dropping/adding frames or by speeding up/down the source)
If your input source frame rate is not detected correctly thats probably a bug or broken input.

DAR for picture
Sorry, I don't like DAR (+ i don't see where it really is helpful) and so Hybrid will only allow PAR modification.

-edit the output file name without having to retype it completely and keeping the same folder (to avoid to return to the default folder and re-find the folder we need)
no problem, will change Hybrid such that it'll reopen the path last selected for an output file.

-mux audio and video opened separately (like MKVmerge)
1st I'm using mkvmerge for multiplexing
2nd I see no reason to do it in two passes and create an unnecessary temp file.

Cu Selur

Ps.: think i fixed the problem -> send you a pm with a test version

[Music Fan]

Thanks, it works now. ;)

The audio language is shown if behind the audio selector, if Hybrid knowns which language the stream is.
Do you mean only if the input is an mkv which already contains the information about the langage ?
The audio selector only shows a number (1).

you can change the fps under Filtering
And in "muxing" also (I had forgotten that).

will change Hybrid such that it'll reopen
Cool, thanks.

And concerning the extension, could you add MKV when needed ? Because it seems that we have to type it (not a huge work of course).

[Selur]

Do you mean only if the input is an mkv which already contains the information about the langage ?
yup
The audio selector only shows a number (1).
strange, send me a small sample (i.e. upload it to http://www.multiupload.com/ and I'll check it out)

And in "muxing" also (I had forgotten that).
yup. :)

And concerning the extension, could you add MKV when needed ?
When the output is entered without an extension (or with an unknown extension), Hybrid will add the one selected under: Config->Input/Output settings->Output Settings->Standard output container.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Ok, i will test it again.
Actually, until now, I used to copy the name of the input file (clicking on its name in the folder opened by clicking on "output file"), and of course, the mp4 extension was copied with the name. So I erased it and replaced by mkv. As Mkv was not the only format in the "type" line, I believed it wouldn't be added.

strange, send me a small sample
I meant with mp4 files, but you answered my question, Hybrid can't add it if it's not already there, so it's normal.

[Selur]

I meant with mp4 files, but you answered my question, Hybrid can't add it if it's not already there, so it's normal.
Nope it can't add a language tag automatically if the input container doesn't contain the info, you can however add a language tag using the tagging tab.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Ok, so he can do that actually !
I didn't mean "automatic" tagging.;)

[Selur]

Ok, so he can do that actually !
yup :)

[Music Fan]

Geat program.:)

There is just one thing I don't understand : if I wanna mux an anamorphic mp4 file in Mkv (16/9 in 720.576), how do I specify 16/9 ?
In the muxing tab, I chose 16x9 but I got a 2.222 DAR (seen with Mediainfo).

[Selur]

If the source is anamorph and you feed Hybrid with the source, don't change anything,.. (Hybrid analyses the input and will set the PAR according to the input if not overwritten by the user, e.g. by setting a PAR in the Muxing-tab)
Like I said before: Hybrid does not use/care about DAR, it uses PAR. So specifying a PAR of 16x9 when you want a to specify a DAR of 16:9 wasn't a good choice.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

The problem is that if I don't change anything, the image stays in 720.576 (DAR 5:4).
It's a file I encoded with MeGui and its PAR looks to be 1:1. So I should probably use MKVmerge before or after Hybrid to correct the PAR (or DAR).

[Selur]

I though you got an anamorphic mp4 file, which means it has a PAR value != 1:1.
mediainfo --Full "Path to file"
should report the Pixel Aspect Ratio.
Now you say you got a file with a 720x576 and a 5:4 DAR which would mean your file has a PAR of 1:1 (otherwise the DAR would be wrong, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio)

Assuming your source got a PAR of 1:1 and a DAR of 5:4 which are both wrong for the source, you could still set the PAR in the Muxer tab to the right MP4-PAR:

DAR PAL NTSC
4:3 12/11 10/11
16:9 16/11 40/33

since your source is 720x576 which normally is a PAL resolution 16x11 would be the right value, to set a mp4 standard compatible 16/9 DAR.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Ok, thanks.
I made test a few minutes ago, before to see your answer, and if I put the mp4 file in MKV with MKVmerge chosing 16/9 AR, Hybrid doesn't keep this AR ; the file created by Hybrid is again in 5:4.
But it works if I change the PAR with Yamb (opening this transformed mp4 file in Hybrid).
I need to finish the process with Hybrid because my standalone player can't play the MKV created by MKVmerge, while I believe it used to work with older versions.

[Selur]

I made test a few minutes ago, before to see your answer, and if I put the mp4 file in MKV with MKVmerge chosing 16/9 AR, Hybrid doesn't keep this AR ; the file created by Hybrid is again in 5:4.
yup, because Hybrid uses mediaInfo to get the par set in the stream itself not the par in the container and mkvmerge probably leaves the stream par as it was,...

But it works if I change the PAR with Yamb (opening this transformed mp4 file in Hybrid).
yup, because mp4box/Yamb sets the par in the stream and the container.

I need to finish the process with Hybrid because my standalone player can't play the MKV created by MKVmerge, while I believe it used to work with older versions.
probably because of the header compression (there are a bunch of threads in the forum about it)

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

since your source is 720x576 which normally is a PAL resolution 16x11 would be the right value, to set a mp4 standard compatible 16/9 DAR.
I don't understand how you find 16x11, I never saw that value.

[Music Fan]

probably because of the header compression (there are a bunch of threads in the forum about it)
Yes, I know that, but I'm nearly sure it used to work before and I didn't change anything in MKVmerge.

[Selur]

Yes, I know that, but I'm nearly sure it used to work before and I didn't change anything in MKVmerge.
in older version the header compression was off by default, in newer versions the compression is on by default,...

I don't understand how you find 16x11, I never saw that value.
no clue why you never saw that value, here some sources i.e.: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1058927#post1058927, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard-definition_television, http://wftp3.itu.int/av-arch/jvt-site/2002_05_Fairfax/JVT-C135.doc,...
You probably only heard of the ITU PAR Values,...
PAR by ITU-R BT.601
DAR PAL NTSC
4:3 128/117 4320/4739
16:9 512/351 5760/4739

PAR by MPEG
DAR PAL NTSC
4:3 12/11 10/11
16:9 16/11 40/33

[Music Fan]

in older version the header compression was off by default, in newer versions the compression is on by default,...
Ok, that's what I thought. But it should be clearly written, like in Hybrid. Because I believe that this setting is simply called "compression" and not "header compression" in the video tab, which is confusing.

You probably only heard of the ITU PAR Values
Neither one nor the other, I only know the PAR used with mpeg-2 (the codec I used for years), and for Pal 16/9, it's 1.4222 (or simply called 16/9 in most of video editors and encoders, which is actually the DAR but it works fine). And 1.0666 for 4/3.

The problem with this kind of PAR (16/11) is that it creates a non standard (or not precise) DAR.
To write 16/9 or 4/3 as DAR is better.
I tried 16x11 in Hybrid, and Mediainfo does not detect 16/9 but something close to 16/9.
That's why I believe you should add a DAR setting, or 4/3 and 16/9 PAR in place of 12/11, 16/11 ...

[Selur]

Since PAR won't change when cropping and DAR does I prefer PAR and Hybrid won't use DAR.

[Music Fan]

Since PAR won't change when cropping and DAR does
I don't understand what you mean, are you talking about the encoding part of Hybrid ? I crop with avisynth.
Anyway, if Mediainfo does not detect 4/3 or 16/9 in the MKV, there is a problem.
16/11 * 1.25 (720.576) = 1.8181 and not 1.77777 ...

[Selur]

16/11 * 1.25 (720.576) = 1.8181 and not 1.77777 ...
Yes, ITU PAR, MPEG PAR and Generic PAR do differ. :D
That's why Hybrid allows one to specify how the input par should be identified (Crop/Resize -> Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) -> Force input PAR type) and also allows one to specify the output PAR.

Generic PAR
DAR PAL NTSC
4:3 16/15 8/9
16:9 64/45 32/27

PAL 16/9 ITU: 512/351 = 1,4586894586894586894586894586895
PAL 16/9 MPEG: 16/11= 1,4545454545454545454545454545455
PAL 16/9 Generic: 64/45 = 1,4222222222222222222222222222222
PAL 16/9 ITU * 1,25 = 1,8233618233618233618233618233619
PAL 16/9 MPEG * 1,25 = 1,8181818181818181818181818181818
PAL 16/9 Generic * 1,25 = 1,7777777777777777777777777777778

=> When doing format conversions one should know about PARs. ;)
If MediaInfo only reports 16/9 for a generic 16/9 PAR you might want to use the appropriate generic PAR, if it matters to you that MediaInfo reports 16/9.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

For me, only what you call "generic" PAR counts. A video has to be displayed in 4/3 or 16/9 (if the PAR is not 1:1, which is nearly always the case with Divx), so I don't know what could happen with a different PAR, but I guess that my player needs to know if he has to display the 720.576 in 4/3 or 16/9.

When doing format conversions one should know about PARs.
Yes, but after the conversion, whatever we did on picture (crop, resize), when the picture is in 720.576 (or 720.480), I don't understand why we would need more than 2 PARs.
But I'm in a standalone players logical, not in PC logical. I play all my videos on standalone players.

[Selur]

For me, only what you call "generic" PAR counts.
Okay, than stick to the 'Generic PAR'-table I posted and you should be fine. :)


Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Ok, thanks.;)
But do you agree with my reasoning about the 2 PARs for standalone players, or do I forget anything ?

[Selur]

That totally depends on the stand alone player. :)
If it only 'likes' generic PARs you are right, if it on the other hand only 'likes' MPEG or ITU PARs you are wrong. -> I like to keep it flexible. ;)

[Music Fan]

Ok, so it's no so simple than what I thought.
Do you believe that for dvd (in mpeg-2), other PARs than generic PARs could be necessary and recognized (by players and authoring log), or it's only for MKV ?
I made a lot of dvd for years, and I always chose 4/3 or 16/9.

[Selur]

Ok, so it's no so simple than what I thought.
Nope, never was. :)

I made a lot of dvd for years, and I always chose 4/3 or 16/9.
Which depending on the software you used probably ment that ITU or Generic PAR was used in the background.
also see and read: http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/conversion/

-> unless you check it visually you normally really don't know if the PAR values are set correctly or if the content you handle is a bit off (aspect ratio wise :)).
Most people really don't care about ITU/MPEG/Generic PAR, live with the fact that the picture might be slightly off and just use what their tools offer.
(to be frank it really is a nightmare especially if you mix material form different sources, i.e. dvd, web material, video cam, cg and tv broadcast and simple combine them without thinking)

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

it really is a nightmare especially if you mix material form different sources
Yes, I saw that when I made video editing of a band's show filmed by 2 cameras, and the image of 1 camera (the most expensive) contained little vertical black bars on right and left, and there was no black bars on the other image.
I guess it was linked to the PAR.
It was problematic in some effects (picture in picture with changing size).
I let it like that. I don't know if there was a solution to avoid that. Maybe a resize of the avi (DV) file with cropping before to make edition ?

Can someone show me best settings x264 and soft settings to transcode/encode 1080i HDTV Stream (MPEG-TS) 29.970 to MKV ( real fps 23.976 progressive or remain interlaced if possible) with IBRYD ?
I tried with MEDIACODER_x64, file.MKV output result syncronized with good video quality , the main movie problem sometimes is fluid sometimes had massive micro stuttering., while the 1080i is very fluid.

Many thanks

Regards

[Selur]

1. what's IBRYD ?
2. Quality wise the best way is probably not to transcode/encoder at all but to just remux. (file size will shrink a bit due too smaller container overhead and loss of stuffing bits, but since audio&video remain untouched, quality should be the same as the input)
3.to avoid problems see forum rule no. 12

2. Right. I need only a way to change 1080i fps 29.970 ( time 2h.03m.00s) to 1080i fps 23.976 (time 2h.03m.00s) to insert new language audio track.

There is a GUI that only removes pulldown and leave everything else as is?
TSMUXER remove pulldown but sometime the box remain greyed out (why) and can't remove it.


tk's, Fuse

[Selur]

There is a GUI that only removes pulldown and leave everything else as is?
Hybrid will always reencode when removing pulldown.
tsMuxeR would have been my guess,... may be it's possible with eac3to,..

TSMUXER remove pulldown but sometime the box remain greyed out (why) and can't remove it.
Might be because, the source is not telecined,...

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

I had already tried to remove pulldown with TSMuxer, but it didn't always work, even with files supposed to be in 23.976 fps with a 3:2 pulldown flag (we can see it with Gspot). In this case, it's better to let it flagged. Or Gspot could be sometimes wrong.
But some BD players can make reverse 3:2 pulldown (maybe not with mkv but with AVCHD and/or BD).

[fusebyte]

may be it's possible with eac3to,..

eac3to -strippulldown

Is this the right command line to use?
Anything else to add?

I would try this Utility too > Deinterlacing QTGMC Script <
using this script
DirectShowSource("C:\My.mkv")
QTGMC( Preset="Slow", InputType= 1, SourceMatch=3, Lossless=2 )

# DGDecode_mpeg2source, FFVideoSource, AviSource, whatever your source requires
# InputType=1 for plain progressive, InputType=2,3 for badly deinterlaced material (discard bad field, try again with the other one)
#Source Match / Lossless Output
#Source match is a new feature that ensures the output is as close as possible to the source, whilst still removing the bob-shimmer or artefacts typical of other deinterlacers. Lossless #mode ensures that the source pixels are exactly in the output, but with the possibility of minor artefacts


Have 1 simply question.
How start AVS script without a dedicated GUI?
What i should use?



Thank's all

No clue about eac3to best ask in a thread that deals with eac3to. ;)

You never start an avs script. :) It's processed when frames are requested.
So if you feed it to i.e. x264 it will be processed.

[Music Fan]

I discovered a weird problem which seems to be linked to MkvMerge : when I tag a langage as french with Hybrid or MkvMerge, my standalone Sony player sees that it's french.
But when I tag langage as english (also tested with Hybrid and MkvMerge), my player can't see this tag and simply shows the number of the audio track.
But I have the sound, that's not the problem.

[Selur]

This is mainly a bug in the implementation of mkv support in the player. :)
The mkv standard specifies that undefined should be mapped to English.
Too be frank this is partially also the fault of mkvtoolnix since older versions of it didn't use the undefined for English but the 'eng/en' language flag. Newer versions of mkvtoolnix don't support the 'eng/en' language flag even if it's specified by the command line,... (which is kind of sad, but that's the way mosu likes it)
-> see mkvtoolnix thread for additional info :)

[Music Fan]

Thanks for the explanation, this decision is weird.
So I guess there is no way to display "english" with MKV on my player. But it's not important, I can recognize this langage of course.

[Selur]

it might be possible with older mkvmerge versions, but they might not work with Hybrid ;)

[Music Fan]

Ok, and do you know which version could do that ? There are a lot of older versions of course.

[Selur]

looking in the changelog of mktoolnix http://www.bunkus.org/videotools/mkvtoolnix/doc/ChangeLog
iirc. the behavior was changed with:
2010-07-30 Moritz Bunkus <moritz@bunkus.org>

* mmg header editor: bug fix: If a file was loaded that did not
contain 'track language' elements and those elements were
unchanged then they would be set to 'und' upon saving. Now they're
left as-is, and when adding them to the file the drop-down box
defaults to 'eng' being selected as per Matroska default value
specifications. Fix for bug 525.

so Released v4.2.0 or earlier,...

[Music Fan]

Thanks. I installed v4.1.1 but I got a message in this style : "this is the GUI for v4.5.0" though I used the GUI given with v4.1.1.
I have still v4.5.0 on my pc, but I guess I should be able to use both versions, they are installed in different folders.
Anyway, this is not very important, I don't need to see absolutely "english" when I click on the "display" touch of my remote.

[Music Fan]

Hi,
I tried to encode the sound (wav) of a MKV in aac, but it stayed in wav while I checked "reencode audio stream".:confused:

[illogan]

maybe you have forgotten to ADD the Stream to the Audio Queue ?

Make the settings of you choice and add the audio encoding job to the Audio Queue by clicking on the "Add" button

[Selur]

agree, works fine here,.. -> post some additional info what you did ;)

[Music Fan]

I didn't add it because it was already in the list (on the left of "add" button).
I tried it anyway, and a second line appeared, so I erased the first, and it din't work : "aac does not exist".
I tried again without erasing the first line and it's the same issue (after the extraction of the wav by MKVextract) : "aac does not exist".
This problem does not happen with MeGui which uses the same neroaacenc.exe file (one file for both programs).

[Selur]

addition infos are still required
Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:
1. What Hybrid version did you use? (Windows/Linux 32/64bit + versions number)
2. What did happen? If an error message came up what did it exactly say?
3. (starting from a reseted Hybrid - Config->Reset->All) What did you do to get to the bug? (best thing is a detailed step-by-step guide so that I can reproduce the problem)
4. Debug output would be helpful. (Config->Misc Settings->create debug file)
5. If possible a small sample file would be great. (upload it somewhere and send me a link via pm)
All these infos might be needed to reproduce the problem and reproduction is needed to find a fix.

With the infos provided so far I can't reproduce the problem and I can't even send you a link to a development build,.. (no clue which OS&version you used)

On Hybrid32bitPackage_110101.
Will be good to update the GUI qpmax value as the new default qpmax value for x264 rev 1881 onwards is 69 and also if I save a profile with a ".", for example "Mobile profile 1.3", Hybrid cannot read the profile name.

[AnonCrow]

Stupid question (or just a stupid asker): Is Hybrid (win32 110101) even supposed to work on Windows 2000 ? ( Not a valid Win32 application )

[Selur]

Got no Windows 2000 System here, so I haven't tried it in a long time.

Thanks, appreciate it.
Until then , and if you don't intend on switching to a 1-2 year old QT sdk, are older versions of the Hybrid executable available somewhere ?

It's not the QT SDK it's the Microsoft Windows SDK. :)

Got no old builds here. :) (anything from 2010, should work since I switched the sdk during Christmas holidays ;))

May be I'll get around to install and link against an old SDK on one of my VMs later today.

Hybrid rev.110330

*added*
- autoLoading first audio file,.. if the videoInput is i.e. test.avi and has no audio stream in it Hybrid will now search the input folder for audio files named test*.EXT, where EXT is any audio extension Hybrid knows and automatically load the first found as audio source.
- MPLS-Selector so one can select which Titles should be analysed on blu-ray input
- .mpls selector option to ignore .mpls files with a duration below X minutes
- support x264 option '--frame-packing' for stereoscopic encoding
- subtitle extraction from DVD Source will honor chapter selection and only extract the selected parts
- Default Hybrid Default Video Profiles (requires Model reset!)
- (windows) dependency to 'NamedPipe' from roozhou (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1226337) (needed for mplayer raw decoding)
- option to force cfr output when decoding with mencoder/ffmpeg
- option to select if ffmpeg or mencoder is used as raw decoder
- option to let mp4box/mkvmerge skip the explicit naming of PAR 1:1 in the muxing call (needed for some mp3/mp4 players)

*fixed*
- mp4/mov id grabbing
- removed unneeded 'splitx 0:0' from mp4box call
- audio only preview
- subtitle extraction problem
- bug with he-aac signaling
- chapterTab adjust chapters to chapter selection
- one of the problems with cut support (still experimental)
- naming problem when extracing multiple audio to raw from BluRay
- bug in '3.1 to dl2' sox call
- crash when a needed tool was missing
- Hybrid closing when POPUP occured while Hybrid was minimized by preventing PopUps while minimized.
- x264: force cfr output was accidently disabled (should be enabled when 'Use internal decoder if possible' is activated.
- x264: bug in cl when feeding timecodes to x264
- x264: baseline + veryslow/placebo -> using subMe 9 instead of subMe 10, since 10 is not allowed (needs CABAC)
- avs analyser crash

*changed*
- x264: check that 'force cfr' isn't enabled if the decoder used isn't x264
- x264: wrong named x264 .stats file if output contained two consecutive white spaces
- x264: qMax = 69 ('The QPs above 51 are "fake QPs" for VBV emergency. You can disable VBV emergency entirely by pushing the max down to 51.' by Dark Shikari)
- better m2ts Overhead with ac3 audio
- limit bitrate<>size flipping
- automatically enabling 'generate output name' when Queue Titles/Chapters is pressed
- (windows) using vstrip instead of vstrip_ifo&vstrip.dll (-> added a vstrip version - vstripFree - that can't remove microvision or css to the windows package to avoid legal problems)
- added some warnings for DVDs created with old/broken TmpgEnc Version
- overwrite mplayer channel count with info detected by mediainfo
- bunch of small cosmetics
- use MPlayer as decoder for raw audio to counter problems with to short dts stream when decoding with ffmpeg (mplayer also looks for DS filters if it can't decode material, i.e. raw thd)
- ffmpeg: use libmp3lame for mp3 encoding (-> with this ffmpeg fpr Hybrid needs to be compiled with --enable-libmp3lame support)
- mplayer/mencoder: -noautosub -> -nosub

*removed*
- (windows) dependency to pssuspend
- (windows) dependency to vstrip_ifo and vstrip.dll

*updated*
- Windows package (added separate 64bit and Win2k addition downloads)

Sure, as soon as someone compiles a vpxenc version that accepts input via stdIn I'll start implementing support for it. :)

2. Don't add attachments if you want a 'fast' reply attachments need approval from a moderator.

Can you explain how to save the Hybrid Path as it always reverts & recreates the "app data" directory.
To save the Config->Path settings you need to Save Defaults for 'All' or just the 'GlobalDataModel'.
-> Select Save Defaults->GlobalDataModel and hit the Save Defaults -> Selected Button.

Also, can you explain the "Reset Defaults" "Reload Defaults" & "Save Defaults", please, Thanks!!
It's relatively straight forward. :)
'Reset Defaults' allows you to reset a single DataModel or all DataModels (which hold the settings in Hybrid) to it's 'factory defaults'
'Reload Defaults' allows you to reload a single DataModel or all DataModels to it last saved state. (i.e. the 'factory defaults')
'Save Defaults' allows you to overwrite a single DataModel or all DataModels by saving their current state.

i.e.
a. to reset/load/save a single DataModel:
1. select the model to reset/load/save
2. press the 'Selected'-button in associated section (GroupBox)
(if you reseted a model, Hybrid needs to restart)

b. to reset/load/save all DataModels, press the 'All'-button in associated section (GroupBox)




Some bugs:
See the first post in this thread about infos needed for me to recreate a bug. :)

I'd like to create an AVI from Xvid & AC3. How do i change the container?
If you just want to remux an .m4v and a .ac3 file to .avi the following should work. :)
1. load the m4v (Main-> Input File)
2. set Main->'Audio handling' to 'custom'
3. load the audio source (Audio->Main->'Audio Source'->'Audio File')
4. add the audio (Audio->Main->Add; make sure Audio->Main->'Reencoding audio stream' is disabled)
5. set Main->'Video handling' to 'passthrough' and Main->'Audio handling' to 'passthrough all'
6. Set a output file (Main->'Output File') with an .avi extension
7. add job to queue (Main->'Add to Queue')
8. start Job (Jobs->Start)

I am happy with an installer but my question would be how would installing updates for hybrid work. Currently I just paste the new hybrid.exe into my zip folder.

[Selur]

For whole package updates you would just download and start the installer which would replace the old files with the new once. (+ reset the defaults if activated in the installer)
For Hybrid binary only updates you would still simply overwrite the Hybrid.exe

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

What would be the difference with the current installer ?

[Selur]

There is no 'current installer'. :)
The main purposes of the installer would be:
- simple deployment (only one package download for all windows versions)
- user selects:
- where Hybrid should be put
- if avisynth 32bit or 64bit support should be added (avsInfo 32/64bit version)
- if the defaults should be resetted after installation
- simple clean removal (uninstaller will delete the hybrid program folder and the datamodels, if selected, on uninstall)

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Ok, thanks.

if avisynth 32bit or 64bit support should be added
Does it mean that Avisynth would be included in the exe, or it would be downloaded if selected ?

The only issue is of course the user would end up redownloading all packages to update potentially 1 single package.

[Selur]

Does it mean that Avisynth would be included in the exe, or it would be downloaded if selected ?
Nope, the installer wouldn't install Avisynth at all, it just would let the user select if the 32bit or the 64 bit avsInfo.exe should be installed.

The only issue is of course the user would end up redownloading all packages to update potentially 1 single package.
Yup, that's the main downside. There would be just one larger package for all Windows versions.
(the Hybrid binary only downloads will still exist, so this is only an issue with package downloads)

Cu Selur

[Brazil2]

I always prefer to use a ZIP package myself, maybe because I like to understand how things are working and what is happening on my system, although I understand that people may like an installer.

But since you are using file hosting sites it shouldn't be a problem to provide both files (7)ZIP and installer because the installer will be made from files that you just have to ZIP :)

[Selur]

I would prefer to only provide the packages as separate zip files or the installer, not both (to simplify the stuff that needs to be done when releasing a new version).
But since I suspected some users might prefer the packages I asked for opinions. :)

Cu Selur

[illogan]

i think, the main advantage of an installer will be, that the decision will be taken off from the User, and he dont have to think about "what OS do i have" and "what processor architecture version will be the best for my system" and "what do i have to download to make Hybrid to work at all".

a couple of MB more or less isnt the problem, in my opinion. the difference will be minimal...

Not so minimal,.. around 10 to 15 MB for Win32 and Win2k users. :)
Installer (with all versions) ~50MB, Win32package ~35MB, Win32package+Win2k additions ~40MB, Win32package+Win64 addition ~ 50MB.
But I think at least for the first few releases I'll provide installer and packages,..

[flebber]

Love the update only 1 request, would it be possible to have spline36resize or blackman as available option?

[Selur]

If mencoder or ffmpeg have them: yes (not sure if they do nowadays)
otherwise: no, since Hybrid doesn't create avisynth files,...

[devaster]

are u plannig for use of GPU decode on single/multiple GPUs ?
i have 3 GPUs and it would be nice one used for decoding and one for encoding ....

[Selur]

Don't think that will happen in the near future since mencoder&ffmpeg which are mainly used don't have gpu decoding and I probably won't have the time to read-up and write a decoder (which would need to be able to output raw yv12 via std::out) myself.
And since DGDecNV is avisynth only and doesn't have the ability to output via std::out that's probably also not gonna happen anytime soon.
That said if someone writes a command line decoder I would add support for it inside Hybrid.

Cu Selur

[devaster]

okay, can u send me some specs what must decoder meet , ill try to write one ...

[Selur]

these would be needed features:
1. it should be able to open raw h.264 files
2. output to pipe (std::out) and file
3. everything that's not file output should go to std:err not std::out
4. output file format should be something x264/ffmpeg/mencoder supports (i.e. NV12/Yv12)
these would be nice features:
1. being able to open raw mpeg-2/vc-1 files or everything else the decoder can handle
2. accept input via pipe, so one could use i.e. mencoder/ffmpeg to open a container and pipe the content to the decoder and from the decoder to i.e. x264
3. progress indication to std::err
4. deinterlacing support
these would be too good to be true features:
1. ability to read stream that are still inside a container (so one would have a basic DGDecNV replacement)
2. combine it the cuda encoder Hybrid uses (I share the the code, which is mainly a Qt port of the cuda encoder example from the cuda sdk)
3. additional filtering through the decoder (cropping, denoise, whatever is possible)

about license: don't care as long as it's free to use for personal purposes and I get no trouble if I add it to the Hybrid packages/installer
open source: would be nice, but not a needs-to-be

[devaster]

why is encoding on gpu so slow when i use filters ? - it uses the gpu only on ~25%. when i switch off the filtering it is used for ~100% (dvd source)...
btw mencoder is using only one core ???

[Selur]

why is encoding on gpu so slow when i use filters ?
currently the dvd source will be opened and decoded with mencoder (which is probably the bottleneck when decoding)
btw mencoder is using only one core ???
What does '-lavdopts threads=X' in the decoder part of the call say ?
(on linux threads=1 is forced since multi-threaded mpeg decoding seems to be broken there from time to time, but on windows X should be number of cpu core iirc.)
Depending on your filtering, it might also be that one of the filters used doesn't support multi-threading.

Cu Selur

[devaster]

it is setted to 8 threads and i am using sharpen and denoise - hqdn3d ....

[Selur]

it's probably hqdn3d,.. (but I'm not 100% sure since I frankly never tested which filters in mencoder interact with multi-threading in a "bad" way)

[meshaun]

Hello Selur,
is that problem with the encoding finished?

[devaster]

it's probably hqdn3d,.. (but I'm not 100% sure since I frankly never tested which filters in mencoder interact with multi-threading in a "bad" way)

no its sharpen. when i use only hqdn3d, it is better (50%)

[Selur]

@meshaun:should be fixed in latest public release,...

@devaster: good to know,.. damn, switching to chroma&luma sharpen instead of (un)sharpen doesn't help either,.. :/

Found a way :) use mencoder_mt (and rename it to mencoder) from i.e. http://ps3mediaserver.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ps3mediaserver/win32/ (or http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayer-win32/files/MPlayer%20MT/revision%2032848/) and the speed is a lot better ;)

=> does anyone have any experience with mencoder_mt ? (if it doesn't have any known problems I'll switch to mencoder and mplayer MT for hybrid)

[devaster]

mt mencoder seems doesnt help, will try better tomorrow

[Selur]

strange, more than doubled the encoding speed for me when sharpening and encoding with the cuda encoder,..

[devaster]

i had it tested on another system and yes there is double speedup (and double GPU usage - 50%)

[devaster]

i was looking on nvidia docs about decoder. It will be easier to incorporate the decoding and maybe filtering part into your encoder - maybe lower overhead with frame transferring ...

[Selur]

Did some extensive testing on why I used the normal mencoder and not the mencoder_mt build and I found out why. :)
-> sometimes mencoder_mt doesn't start up properly, i.e. when calling
mencoder.exe "G:\Hybrid\test - clips\test.avi" -ovc raw -noskip -vf scale,format=i420 -forcedsubsonly -nosub -nosound -mc 0 -lavdopts threads=8 -ofps 25 -aspect 1.81818:1 -of rawvideo -o - | x264.exe --crf 42 --f
ps 25 --input-res 640x352 --output NUL -
over and over again, around each third or forth time mencoder just doesn't send any frames,..
which will cause Hybrid to abort current since no output (and or stats file for 2pass 1st pass) will be created.
so not using mplayer_mt/mencoder_mt was a stability choice. :)
(will keep on testing new mt versions in the case that I find updated binaries ;))

Cu Selur

Ps.: @devaster: please also add an option to use the decoder without the encoding part, this would allow to use the decoder part and pipe the output to x264/xvid/mencoder/.. instead of using the nvidia encoder. ;)

Will you be updating hybrid for the new x264 presets sharktooth is discussing here. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1499552#post1499552

Judging from:
1. a x264 download from x264.nl
and
2. the git summary (http://git.videolan.org/?p=x264.git;a=summary)
these device presets are not preset in x264 atm.

Thanks, fixed the link. :)

[hifi25nl]

I am using last version 2011.05.19.3 in archlinux with last git version of x264. The other apps are from arch official repository.

All is apparently working fine but If I try to encode for blu ray the resulting video has colors wrong: skins are almost blue...like in some sf movies...

The original file has been taken from a Sanyo Xacti video camera:
AVC, Progressive, Bitrate 12166, Resolution 1920x1080, PAR 1, 29,97, aac.

The options changed in Hybrid are:
1) Structure: Blu ray on Main tab
2) Audio handling auto add first on Main tab
3) Hardware blu ray on x264 tab
4) Constant rate factor (2 pass) on the x264 tab
5) Scale output frame rate to 23,976 or 24 in filtering tab (is this right?)
6) Encoding to ac3 in audio tab.

The same movie demuxed with tsmuxer, changed aac to ac3 and authored with easyBD is playing fine with right colors in my panasonic BD60 blu ray player (no re-encoding!)

[Selur]

the resulting video has colors wrong: skins are almost blue..
it's probably a problem with the decoding part.
How do the complete encoding calls look like ?
(disable 'Minimize job command lines' and post the complete lines of the encoding calls)

5) Scale output frame rate to 23,976 or 24 in filtering tab (is this right?)
Since the input is progressive 29.97fps I would say: Yes.

The same movie demuxed with tsmuxer, changed aac to ac3 and authored with easyBD is playing fine with right colors in my panasonic BD60 blu ray player (no re-encoding!)
which doesn't help at all, since you want to reencode the clip :)

4) Constant rate factor (2 pass) on the x264 tab
dump that, it's an old relict from when vbv didn't work with crf encoding (-> will fix description)

"-vf filmdint=io=29.97:23.976,softskip" is probably wrong for your input -> try disabling Filtering->Deinterlace/Telecine Settings->Auto deinterlacing
Strange thing is, Hybrid shouldn't insert this unless the source is detected as interlaced,.. -> would be cool if you could upload a small sample to MultiUpload (or similar site) so I can do some tests. :)

DOOHHH,.. it's not added by the deinterlacer but by the frame rate changer :)
-> think I know where the problem is. :)
("-vf filmdint=io=29.97:23.976,softskip" needs to be a "-vf scale,format=i420,filmdint=io=29.97:23.976,softskip")

However I confirm that most of times this experimental version has some problems.
"most of the times" means what?

To be sure I have deleted the configuration file .hybrid in my home directory.
(the should be a configuration folder .hybrid, not a configuration file)
use Hybrid->Config->Defaults->Reset->All to be sure you deleted the right stuff.

I really need some debug output to trace a problem.

Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:

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

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

How do I add multiple mkv files that have srt subs? Whenever I try, and use the add and extract, the program only extracts the subs from the first file, and then names it after the last file. So it will be ripped from 01.mkv and be named 19.srt. I am trying to do a huge batch conversion for bluray from files I created a few years ago, and if I do them one at a time it works great, but I have almost 150 files do to.

Conversely if I do not use the add and extract options, it does not even recognize that there are subs in the stream at all. All it sees it the video and 2 audio streams. I would post a log but for some reason it does not want to save one, and I always have to reset everything when the program opens because it does not remember any of my previous settings.

Huha,.. to be frank I never thought about batch processing when I wrote the subtitle add/extract routines. :)

Are you sure? The Subtitle-Spinbox is grayed out for each file if you cycle through the sources through the Source-Spinbox ?

Hello,
I just tested the experimental :) cut support.
Input file: NextPVR capture 1.ts (mpeg2 video + mpa audio)
If I enable cut in main tab and select something in start field, then on audio convert (to nero aac) I get an error Crashed Couldn't find 'Volume adjustment'!(3)
The intermediate demuxed mpa is 0b.
Everything works if cut is not enabled.
Debug file: http://pastebin.com/DRFKiH8G

[Selur]

I'll look into it. :)
-> think I found the problem, will send you a link to a hopefully fixed test version via pm.

Sorry, it's me again.
Source .3gp 1280x720 h264 / aac from phone

1. If I choose rotate output in Crop/Resize / Misc, I think there is an extra comma in mencoder command line
report: http://pastebin.com/bAQTh2rc
debug: http://pastebin.com/y02PijLU

2. What does "Flip input width and height"?
I mean I have 1280x720 video, I rotate it 90cw and scale it down to 576x1024.
Can I choose 1024x576 in resize and "Flip input width and height"

3. In Audio / Audio filtering / Filtering, if I choose Normalize I get ABORTED on the line with mencoder | neroaccenc
The strange thing is that on the .ts files (tv captures) it works.
report: http://pastebin.com/Q4cnQYvS
debug: http://pastebin.com/zpncYFiK

[Selur]

1. ... I think there is an extra comma in mencoder command line
I agree -> fixed it locally will send you a test version when I get a handle on the audio problem :)

2. What does "Flip input width and height"?
this will not change the mencoder/filter call but only flip the output width/height when signaling it to i.e. x264
resize: 1024x576 -> x264: --input-res 1024x576
resize: 1024x576 + flip -> x264: --input-res 576x1024
resize: 576x1024 + flip -> x264: --input-res 1024x576
resize: 576x1024 -> x264: --input-res 576x1024
I added this option when I processed a lot of 480x576 clips and aspect ratio detection didn't work properly.
(Not sure if this option is even usefully anymore in the way it is atm. :))

3. In Audio / Audio filtering / Filtering, if I choose Normalize I get ABORTED ...
seems like there's a problem with the sox call, would be cool if you could upload a small sample of the source you try to convert :)
(will also look into the flip thing abit more if I got a sample; problem is that sox assumes it gets singed integer values but it seems like it gets unsigned integer values ;))

Cu Selur

[pdanpdan]

It shows the problem with audio aborted.
It's not one recorder in portrait mode - it's landscape.
But it's the same thing with portrait - I have to rotate it 90cw and then resize to 576x1024.
By the way - I just now realized: the order the operations are done is 1-Rotate,2-Resize? :)

[Selur]

the order the operations are done is 1-Rotate,2-Resize?
yup.

But it's the same thing with portrait - I have to rotate it 90cw and then resize to 576x1024.
A portrait source would be nice to check resize&co changes against it ;)

[pdanpdan]

ok, I'll upload one this evening
thank you

[Selur]

Nice, I also just send you a link to a new test version, which changes the rotate handling a bit. :)

1. I have another file that fails on audio encoding: http://www.mediafire.com/?q2s2tw83gm3m72c
This time I choose 29.97->23.976 convert on audio and normalize (it fails with ABORTED...)
2. In x264, shouldn't the "Tune: animation" add "--tune animation" on command line?
3. The apply button on x264 Preset does not account for x264 Tune, so if you first choose tune and then preset you loose tune.

[Selur]

1. I have another file that fails on audio encoding
I'll look at it :)
-> I can reproduce it, know I just need to figure out how to fix it :)
Problem is that I tell ffmpeg with '-f s16le' to output signed-interger but it seems like it outputs a-law instead. :/

2. In x264, shouldn't the "Tune: animation" add "--tune animation" on command line?
Nope. Since 'animation' does:
animation (psy tuning):
--bframes {+2} --deblock 1:1
--psy-rd 0.4:<unset> --aq-strength 0.6
--ref {Double if >1 else 1}
and the bframes and doubling of the refs it not traceable once it has been applied. ;)
When a tune or option is applied the settings are changed accordingly, after than Hybrid has a complete (unshortened) command line and tries to minimize it.
'Problem' is a +2 or a doubling is not trace able and the settings need to be changed beforehand to be sure no compatibility issue is triggered, i.e. if you level only allows 5 ref frames and the default value would be three applying animation would boost the ref value to 5, but from 5 there's no way to trace it backwards that animation was applied, therefore Hybrid will not even try to show --tune animation. ;)
3. The apply button on x264 Preset does not account for x264 Tune, so if you first choose tune and then preset you loose tune.
That's right and logical. A preset is a fixed setting combination, so Preset resets the settings to default and then applies the changes for the Preset. Tune on the other hand applies the changes to the current settings without resetting anything.

[chunkylover67]

When there's an update, can you make it so that the settings made in the previous version are transferrable to the newer one? I always have to reset everything, including the x264 profiles.

[Selur]

No, at least not until I find more time.

1. most of the time you only need to reset the models mentioned in the POPUPs (unless I change a lot, which normally only happens when I do a lot of refactoring and changed some of the main Hybrid routines, but that really should not happen often, iirc. this was only necessary one time since I started with Hybrid and added the possibility to reset single Models)
2. in theory it's possible to port one model version to the next but I frankly just don't have the time to write such routines&co whenever a model is changed (+ it's a really boring task, since post time, just a new entry comes to the model or the parameters of an entry change; the configurations are only saved models so this can be even done by hand).
3. without any warranty: depending on the changes it might be enough to save the current configuration instead of resetting it (but since this is not always the case resetting is the save way)

----

About the Configurations:
At the moment there's a bit of a design flaw in Hybrid, since I save and restore the complete Model when a configuration is saved. Which causes problems when the model layout changes at all.
It might be better to only save the changes to the default, so that at least new options and parameter changes most of the time would not require to reset the saved configurations.
Default (and Global profiles) still would be needed to be reset and the if i.e. the x264 defaults change this would result in changed command lines without anyone knowing.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

If it's a really boring task, could you add an option which saves a file including all settings, and that we could open to put all previous settings after a new installation ?
It's like the bookmarks in Firefox that can be saved in a file.
I don't know if it's possible for programs like yours, it's just an idea.:)

[Selur]

The problem is the 'all settings'.
Atm. all the settings are spread over models which Models hold all the settings (currently selected values, available options,...) for a specific area of the tool and if you save a configuration you save a specific model. If you save a global profile you save all the models in a file.
Problem with this is if the model definition changes you will have conflicts and Hybrid will tell you to reset the specified model. ;)

So I could easily add an option that saves a global model of for each job during job creation, but this would not help with the fact that Hybrid would cause problems when you import this model after when a model has changed and thus would not solve your problem. ;)

Cu Selur

Ps.: you can look at the saved models&co on you hard drive to see what data they include atm.:
win7: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\hybrid
winxp: C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\hybrid
linux: /home/USERNAME/.hybrid/

PPs.: with the next version, user saved video&audio configurations should be fine, global profiles and defaults still need to be reseted, but that can't be avoided since they need to reflect all changes.
-> I think I came up with an idea how to modify the code that I can save only (name,value)-pairs for all the profiles, which should make it possible to skip the reseting step, so you will get a popup to resave the defaults.

[chunkylover67]

Can there also be an option (or automatic) for THM/JPG generation if someone is encoding to the PSP? The feature is supported in programs such as Xvid4PSP

[Selur]

Never heard of THM before :)
looking at http://www.linupedia.org/opensuse/Videoconverterscript I see:
#
# PSP
#

if [ "$MEDIA" == ALL || "$MEDIA" == PSP ]; then
mkdir -p "$PSP";
echo "PSP conversion started...";
time konsole --caption "Converterscript v.0.0.2 - Converting for Sony PlayStationPortable..." -e ffmpeg -i "$1" -f psp -r 14.985 -s 320x240 -b 768 -ar 24000 -ab 32 "$PSP/$basename1.MP4";
echo "Creating thumbnail graphics...";
time konsole --noclose --caption "Converterscript v.0.0.2 - PSP-Thumb Converting..." -e ffmpeg -y -i "$1" -f ljpeg -ss 5 -vframes 1 -s 160x120 -an "$PSP/$basename1.THM";
echo "PSP Conversion finished.";
else
echo "PSP-Conversion not selected.";
fi
if I understand this right, this would just be a single frame from position "5 seconds" with a resolution of 160x120.
Not sure which parameters are needed for to make this useful,.. i.e. does the frame size need to be fixed to 160x120, does it always have to be from 5 seconds into the film?
Do you have some additional infos about this?

Cu Selur

[chunkylover67]

It doesn't have to be 5 secs. It can just be any screenshot anywhere in the film, sized 160x120. The PSP supports JPG and THM.

[Selur]

Okay, I'll think about some general thumb nail generation. :)

[illogan]

It is just the still image for the thumbnail preview. Maybe it have to be that resolution for compatibility issues?
The Windows7 preview thumb for videos is also fixed at 5 seconds... for a reason i guess. :D

[chunkylover67]

It has to be 160x120 for the PSP. That's the only resolution it supports for a video preview.

[Selur]

Okay, I think I got the main part implemented, main question is: Do I need some clever resize (+letterbox), since ffmpeg will output 160x120 is you tell it to, but is that wise, since one will probably end up with a streched picture,..
+ what version of Hybrid do you use (win/linux/mac 32/64) so I can send you a test build

[chunkylover67]

Yeah, a clever resize would be great. For videos that can't go down to that resolution then a fixed 160x20 would do fine, and I use Hybrid 2011.07.01.2

[chunkylover67]

I use the Windows version.

[Selur]

not sure how to tell ffmpeg to pad top&bottom,..
ffmpeg -y -v -10 -threads 1 -an -i "test.mp4" -vf "scale=160:-1,pad=160:120" -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -ss 10 "test.jpg"
will create a 160x120 but ffmpeg only adds the padding at the bottom,.. (and I'm not sure how to change it, see: http://ffmpeg.org/libavfilter.html#SEC42)

GOT IT!!! :)

ffmpeg -y -v -10 -threads 1 -an -i "D:\Encoding Output\test.mp4" -vf "scale=160:-1,pad=160:120:0:(120-ih)/2" -vcodec mjpeg -vframes 1 -ss 1 "D:\Encoding Output\test.jpg"

Cu Selur

Ps.: going to bed now :)

[Selur]

I use the Windows version.
32 or 64bit? come on,...

[chunkylover67]

32 bit.

[chunkylover67]

I don't really know anything about ffmpeg and all that, but surely it can't be that difficult to generate a thumbnail image? I'm not sure how Xvid4PSP does it, but it uses Avisynth a lot, I'm not sure if you need it to make thumbnails.

[Selur]

It's not complicated, but after all in all around 10hrs (work&private) programming + API reading I'm totally bombed. ;)
->think I got it working, will send you a hybrid test version via pm in a few minutes and then go to bed for today.

Hello guys! I have two questions.
1) It is normal that audio "passthrough all" doesnt work with DVD source?
2) I recommend to update oggecn2 from aotuv beta 6.02 to beta 6.03 cos 6.02 has critical problems with 6 ch files. see aotuv home (http://www.geocities.jp/aoyoume/aotuv/) and discussion on HA

1) Nope, should work,.. works fine here. (just tested with Elephants Dream and another DVD)
2) I'll update it (totally missed that there was an update :))

Cu Selur

[alter4]

Ok. Thx! let me describe details, I imported DVD, set output file, changed audio settings to "passthrough all", pressed "Add to queue" and got
"Notice. You just added a job with empty audio queue...bla-bla ".
Tested with 3 my dvds on hdd, winxp 32 sp3.

Whoops!... If I open VOB directly, but not "as DVD input" it really works. But is it as designed?

[Selur]

did the same thing,.. works without a problem here,..
Are you using the latest version (2011.09.25.1) ?
Not sure what the problem is, you could reset the settings Config->Defaults->Reset->All and see if that helps.
Tried 5 different DVDs and no problem with any of them,...

Cu Selur

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

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

[Selur]

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

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

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

[Hobbe]

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

[Selur]

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

[Hobbe]

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

The content of the input does not matter, the main question is what you configured. ;)

Any plans to make it possible to use qaac for encoding aac?

[Selur]

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

[Selur]

about qaac integration:

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

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

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

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

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

:)

[Selur]

fixed ;)

[alter4]

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

[Selur]

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

Cu Selur

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

[alter4]

Tested. It Works. :) Thx

[alter4]

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

[Selur]

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

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

Hybrid rev 2011.11.07.1:

*added*

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

*fixed*

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

*changed*

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

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

[Selur]

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

[alter4]

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

[Selur]

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

[Skarabey]

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

[Selur]

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

Cu Selur

[Skarabey]

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

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

[Selur]

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

[StainlessS]

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

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

[Skarabey]

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

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

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

[Selur]

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

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

[Selur]

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

Cu Selur

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

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

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

Cu Selur

[Skarabey]

I've cut out a piece of movie with mkvmerge, have converted it and have no problems with sound. This is strange. What then happens with converting a whole movie?

[Selur]

I got no clue, what is causing the problem.
May be your source is somehow not proper and it helps to open it and save it again under another name with mkvmerge so that the container will be rewritten,...

Hi Selur,

Just playing around with Hybrid for the first time today.

I was just wondering what the purpose of the explicitly named switches in the command line are for? I thought for progressive blu ray encoding all that was needed in the command line was the --preset and --bluray-compat, plus --level --keyint --vbv-maxrate --vbv-bufsize --sar 1:1 and --slices 4 switches, plus --open-gop if preferred and maybe --pic-struct if required for verification. Are any of the explicitly named switches in the default command line different from the presets?

Also when I input a 24/1001 1080p BD, the default command line had a --keyint setting of 48, despite having a maxrate and bufsize setting greater than 15mpbs?

[Selur]

atm. gop max is restricted by the bitrate you aim for not the maxrate and bufsize:int bitrate = model->intValue("bitrate");
int gopMax = model->intValue("gopMaximum");
int max;
if (hardware == QObject::tr("Blu-ray/AVCHD")) {
if (bitrate <= 15000) {
max = (2 * gopMax < 1) ? 1 : 2 * int(model->doubleValue("videoFramerate") + 0.5);
} else {
max = (gopMax < 1) ? 1 : int(model->doubleValue("videoFramerate") + 0.5);
}
} else {
max = 10000;
}
this->doSet(model, "gopMaximum", "maximum", QVariant(max));[/code]
you might be right that this might cause a problem with crf, but iirc. 'bluray-compat' should overwrite this,..

hybrid defaults are not the x264 defaults,.. Hybrid will try to minimize the command line call,..

Ah thanks for the explanation, makes sense now (was trying for CRF18). It was no trouble to change the keyint setting anyway.

Cu Selur

Is there any way to just use the x264 defaults for a given preset?

[Selur]

Is there any way to just use the x264 defaults for a given preset?
Okay, I did not make myself clear there. ;)
1. Hybrid got it's own defaults that to not match with any x264 preset
2. If you call a preset (very slow, slow,...) in Hybrid, the preset should match the x264 presets as far as the preset covers all the settings (and unless I made a mistake)
If you for example start Hybrid and trigger preset->medium->apply Hybrid will set the settings to the x264 defaults. (profile, level, lookahead, vbv, etc. will still show up in the command line since, Hybrid will always enforce a profile&level combination unless you select none&unrestricted)

Ok great, thanks again for explaining. So then just selecting a preset and level will automatically set the defaults for that preset.

Great stuff, can't believe I've only just discovered Hybrid!

[CommonMortal]

Hello, i really like your program, but some suggestions:

1) Simplify the interface. I mean, make it more immediate. I come from AsxGUI and you can do all settings in a few seconds. With yours i end up forgetting something. Too many menus, submenus, filters. Also the way the log is working is confusing a bit.
2) Maybe it would be better if Hybrid's default settings were x264's official ones? For example preset default?

In any case, very thorough program, thank you.

[Selur]

regarding 1.: Hybrid is not ment as a one click tool and since it has a lot of settings it needs a lot of menus or a long wizard like GUI. Personally I create myself a few profiles and limit the amount of clicks to a minimum. ;)
regarding 2.: maybe, but personally I prefer my own. If you want Hybrid to start with the default x264 defaults: set the x264 Restriction Settings to None/unrestricted, apply the default preset, go to Config->Defaults->Save select x264Model and press selected. This way you change the default x264 settings to you liking. ;)

I have one trouble with previous 32-bit Windows version of Hybrid. It crushed on the last stage of the process.

Fragment of the log:

MP4Box call looks fine, and the temp files should all be still there, so you could just try to call:
"C:\Program Files\Hybrid\MP4Box.exe" -fps 25 -add "C:\VIDEOS\temp\City.Lights_21_35_11_421_05.264"#video:par=1/1 -brand avc1 -add "C:\VIDEOS\temp\City.Lights_ru_aid_1__21_35_11_421_02.ac3"#audio -tmp "C:\VIDEOS\temp" -new "C:\VIDEOS\Movies\City.Lights.mp4"

I tried to mux .264 and .ac3 files with YAMB and I got the good result .mp4 file.

[Selur]

Can't fix anything in Hybrid unless I know what's going wrong and unless you are willing to run the call in the console I'm forced to just ignore the problem since I can't reproduce it here.

Cu Selur

[Skarabey]

I tried to call in the console, but mp4box crushed, because it didn't find libraries libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll. I found their in the my Filezilla (???), copied their into hybrid folder and run mp4box in the console again. Mp4box worked properly. I got mp4-file. Here's a mystique.

[Selur]

Strange,.. seems like I included a wrong mp4box exe in the windows packages -> will fix

[Skarabey]

And could you still check sox.exe in the new version of Hybrid, because in previous version I have everything working fine, but in the new one when the aften starts the whole process aborted and the log indicates on to sox.exe.

[Selur]

Normally Hybrid should check for sox.exe no clue what is happening,.. some additional Infos (http://www.selur.de/support) would be nice,... (the log file does say nothing useful for me, I always need the debug output)
(sox should only depend on pthreadgc2, libgomp-1 and zlib1 which are all included in the packages,..)

Happy New Year!

I have a question. I need to write some MediaInfo tags into the result mp4 file. Can I use "MediaInfo import" option in the Hybrid? Where can I read about the informations format, which I can write into "MediaInfo import"?

[Skarabey]

I tried to write in the xml format, but hybrid informs me about format errors.

[Selur]

The 'MediaInfo import' option (under x264->Misc) is ment to import x264 options from a MediaInfo output, i.e. something like:
cabac=1 / ref=3 / deblock=1:-1:-1 / analyse=0x3:0x113 / me=hex / subme=7 / psy=1 / psy_rd=1.00:0.15 / mixed_ref=1 / me_range=16 / chroma_me=1 / trellis=1 / 8x8dct=1 / cqm=0 / deadzone=21,11 / fast_pskip=1 / chroma_qp_offset=-3 / threads=12 / sliced_threads=0 / nr=0 / decimate=1 / interlaced=0 / bluray_compat=0 / constrained_intra=0 / bframes=3 / b_pyramid=2 / b_adapt=1 / b_bias=0 / direct=1 / weightb=1 / open_gop=0 / weightp=2 / keyint=250 / keyint_min=23 / scenecut=40 / intra_refresh=0 / rc_lookahead=40 / rc=crf / mbtree=1 / crf=20.0 / qcomp=0.60 / qpmin=0 / qpmax=69 / qpstep=4 / vbv_maxrate=62500 / vbv_bufsize=78125 / crf_max=0.0 / nal_hrd=none / ip_ratio=1.40 / aq=1:1.00
it does not add any mp4 tags. (enable 'Tagging' to see some basic tagging support)

If you can be more specific what you are aiming for I might be able to help by:
a. telling you how to do it with Hybrid
b. add an additional option that allows what you want / or fix an existing one if it's a bug that the option is not working as it should
c. tell you why it's not possible to do what you want ;)

Cu Selur

[Skarabey]

Oh, I see. My problem is follows. I need to make the mp4 file with that structure of the tracks, for example:

track 1: video H264 High@4, 13736.723 secs, 1200 kbps, 1280x720 @ 23.976024 fps
track 2: hint Payload H264 for track 1
track 3: audio MPEG-4 AAC LC, 13737.536 secs, 128 kbps, 48000 Hz
track 4: hint Payload mpeg4-generic for track 3
track 5: ST01

I don't have any problems with the hint tracks. The problem is the last track. It is the metadata that is before encoding in a separate xml file. I don't understand how can I import these data into mp4 container?

[Selur]

Okay, Hybrid does not support 'unknown' tracks. (and it's not planned to add support for unknown tracks)

looking at http://gpac.wp.institut-telecom.fr/mp4box/mp4box-documentation/ it might be possible to extract the data with using
'-raw 5' or '-dump-xml file.xml' and assuming the track can be extracted that way it should be possible to mux it to the new mp4 file.
(got no file with such metadata; at least MP4Box -info "path to file" does not mention ST01 for any of my mp4 files)

Hi Selur,
Does Hybrid recognize sup subtitles, the format of the dvd subtitles ?
If yes, is there a way to merge two files (vob or mkv) with sup subtitles ?
I know that SubtitleTools can merge two srt files (which is useful to change the timecodes of the second srt file when one merge 2 subtitled videos), but it doesn't handle sup.
Of course we can convert sup into another format (srt) then merge it, then convert again in sup, but something more simple would be great.
Actually I read that VideoRedo could merge videos with DVB-SUB format (the DVB subtitles format), maybe it also handles SUP.
Bye ;)

[Selur]

No, mering of any files is not supported in Hybrid.

Problem with this link.

Hi Guys!

Is it possible to use Hybrid with visual x264 zones marking. I see this tab in x264 tab, but how can I transform time in preview windows OSD to frame number/count value?

[Selur]

No at least atm. Hybrid can't do visual zone markings for x264, mainly because mplayer (which is used for preview) does not support frame accurate forward and backward steps and jumping inside files sometimes kills the time counter. :)
in general: time in seconds/framerate = frame number

[alter4]

Thx. Tiny bugreport.
If you save x264 configuration with AVC level NONE/Unrestricted then press "apply" you will see an error message "generic Hybrid ListField avc level: value unrestricted is not present in current list"

[Selur]

Okay, I got confused, seems like the x264 model is off, since there is no High 4:4:4 profile in Hybrid (it was present in an older build for testing purposes) or x264 , but you could use Profile: None + Level: 5.1 + Output color space: i444.

Thx Selur!

I just gonna finish my current encoding activities (by the way thx for the great tool :-) then purge all hybrid settings and check again.

I suppose somehow Hydrid doesn't delete old setting during update.

I'm playing around with the idea of adding Avisynth file creation (using ffmpegsource2 and Directshowsource, later for vc1- interlaced only) and some filters to Hybrid. (windows only)
Since I personally haven't really used Avisynth a lot these last years (only use it from time to time for deinterlacing if yadif produces bad output) I was wondering:

What Avisynth filters do people miss in Avisynth?

Personally I only miss QTGMC, but implementing some basic script creating&co just for me and my QTGMC usage would be overkill.
-> some feedback would be nice :)

in Hybrid you can choose between:
- NeroAacEnc which supports aac, aac-he and he-aacv2
- Qaac which supports aac, aac-he and he-aacv2
and
- libaac which supports aac-lc
(assuming you downloaded NeroAacEnc and extracted it into the Hybrid installation folder)

Qaac ?, is that covered in the Nero AacEncoder....never heard of that 1, newest Nero aac format ?

There is no such thing as a 'Nero aac format' there's only a nero aac encoder -> http://www.nero.com/eng/downloads-nerodigital-nero-aac-codec.php

Hi, i havent had much chance to try it much, the basic x264 works ok. But whenever i set my own test profile for CUDA, its all applied etc, but i get a video conversion crash (something to do with ` no interlaced encoding support on main profile `) despite it not being selected in the profile being used....

confused.

Thanks.

Also on when using the CUDA prest default or custom, i can `add to queue`, but then the `start job` button does nothing.....

if that is not a debug output, I can't do anything with it.
Just tested it and over here the cuda encoder works without a problem.

[Selur]

Hybrid does not use DirectShowFilters or eac3to,.. here (http://www.selur.de/licence) is the list of tools Hybrid uses. (no eac3to no ffdshow)
2ch->PLII should be possible with sox, so if you find out how to do it with sox I can add the appropriate remix call and an option to use it to Hybrid.

[DJ-1]

erm ok, just had a look, i see the Sox.exe in the config->tools area, but after adding a source, i looked at the audio tab, lots of other places, but can`t see where to select `use-of` sox as a decoder... let alone see how its set up.

P.S: ah ok, just re-read ur post, (half asleep, LOL) assuming at the moment its non-visible within the GUI, a few selectable presets would be great...

:)

[Selur]

you have to use sox through the command line if you want to use something that is not offered by Hybrid atm.
Hybrid will automatically use sox whenever it needs to:
1. resample the sample rate of an audio stream
2. apply volume gain to an audio stream
3. stretch an audio stream
4. change the speed of an audio stream
5. normalize an audio stream

if you figure out the remix call needed for the conversion you want I can add it to Hybrid, http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=152034 and http://sox.sourceforge.net/sox.html might help you to understand how sow and it's remix parameter work.

Cu Selur

[DJ-1]

ok, cheers for the fixed version. I just ran a quick test, the CUDA side is now running without issue, cheers.

As for the other audio stuff, I`m sort of understanding bit of it, but its all based off of downmixing, what I want is the opposite (just a nice 2CH to `center voices` + LFE, basicly a DPLII or 5.0+LFE), i dont have any idea how to use the info i see to tell me how I get audio that isnt formatted that way in the source file...

[Selur]

A dpl2 stereo signal is still a stereo 2 signal.
Normally I would be created by converting 3 (left, right, center) or more channels down to stereo while adding additional infos such that it is possible to recreate a virtual center from the two channels.
Problems is if you only have to channels, you can either leave them as they are or modify them in some way such that they contain some sort or virtual center channel info.
Since you wrote:
Also, can we select ffdshow as audio decoder?, as some of the. Older tv shows etc its nice to tweak the old 2ch audio to PLII
it sounded to me like ffdshow could to the transformation you want and probably would show some sort of upmix-matrix to do the trick. :)

Stereo -> 5.1 is not supported in Hybrid since afaik it would require a lot of temporal files (see: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1385573#post1385573) which I don't like. :)

Cu Selur

[DJ-1]

yeah, the option in ffdshow is `decode 2CH source material as DPLII`.

[Selur]

Okay, that option probably interprets every stereo source as if it were a DPL2 source. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Pro_Logic it even shows the matrix http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Pro_Logic#Dolby_encoding_matrices
which should be something like:
FL = 1
FR = 2
FC = 1v0.707,2v0.707
LF = 0
RL = -1v0.872,2v0.489
RR = -1v0.489,2v0.872

To be honest i dont know if thats somewhere near it, or nowhere close....

[Selur]

me neither, but I can tell you, that 1v without a value behind it doesn't make sense :) needs to be just 1, also the sum of all parts of a channel should sum up do 1. :)

[DJ-1]

I put the audio stuff on hold for a bit since i`m lost with it....

Query: I`ve only recently got a home server and before that I`d always use the PS3 for streaming stuff off of the PC, I wanted to convert old tv shows etc, but wanted a nice output Resolution so that i dont get all the extra zoom options on the player I.E: Zoom__>Zoom2__>full screen etc etc etc.

Purely by luck i found a resolution that seems to be a perfect fit, I.E: i just get "Original size"__>"Normal" only with no under/over-scan, nothing cropped....it fits the same as if a 720P would do (on a 1080P output)....original and Normal. But i cant find any reference to the 800x450 for 4:3 / 16:9 or whatever.

PS: the old stuff (SOURCE MATERIAL) I`m coverting at the moment is all PAL 4:3 720x576

[DJ-1]

when i use Vidcoder to convert videos it has an "ignore AR" button and just "anamorphic" as `None` --> output as 800x450.

mediainfo then shows the AR as 16:9 @800x450 .

but i cant seeem to replicate this in Hybrid at the moment, i always get black bars on the Left/Right....?

[Selur]

I'm unsure what you want,.. :)
assuming you got anamorphic input you can:
a. ignore that it is anamorphic by telling Hybrid to handle it as if it had a 1:1 PAR (change Crop/Resize->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->Input PAR to 1:1) and resize to whatever resolution you want
b. convert it to i.e. square pixel (change Crop/Resize->Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR)->Convert output to PAR->Square Pixel) and resize to whatever resolution you want
c. crop and zoom it such that it fills the input resolution (Enable cropping + Crop To DAR)
Hybrid itself will one add black bars if 'Add borders to fit size' is enabled.
During playback it if or if not black bars are added mainly depends on how your playback device/player is set to handle the input (pan&scan, letterbox,...) if it has not the same resolution as you screen.

but i cant seeem to replicate this in Hybrid at the moment, i always get black bars on the Left/Right....?
Probably because your output PAR is not 1:1,...

Cu Selur

Ps.: you probably should read up on what Pixel Aspect Ratio (PAR) and Display Aspect Ratio (DAR) mean (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio) if you want to understand what is happening and why.

[DJ-1]

gonna give it a quick try now.
I dont think the PAR is anamorphic, its just PAL 4:3 720x576 (hybrid recognises source as PAR 1.067).

the idea is to simply have the new video playback naturally as a fullscreen image without relying on any media players handling of the content, why i`m doing the 4:3 AR conversion.

is 800x450 a`paricular` resolution?, its not just the PS3 thats happy with that Res, i also get a perfect 1:1 fit when played back on my xbmc media box.

[Selur]

hybrid recognises source as PAR 1.067
PAR != 1 -> anamorph, if you think this is wrong change the input PAR to 1:1

Assuming the source has no black bars you got an effective resolution of 768x576 if you convert the input to square pixel. Since the height is > 500 and the width is < 800 you need to crop&resize or distort the image (by resizing without caring about the aspect ratio).
-> Neither me nor Hybrid can make the choice for you either cut of some pixels (such that resizing will hit you resolution), live with the distortion or the black bars. There is no magic that will change the math behind this.

[DJ-1]

the source has got black bars left/right (4:3)

yep i know that I`ll have to crop etc to get to a resized resolution, but off of the DVD the `Original` content on all this older stuff is not centered etc, so cropping is ideal in this case is fine as I`m only getting rid of the rough edges of the video. (wich is probably why i end up at that particular res..)

tried the PAR 1:1 you suggested in the earlier post, same left right black bars on output

[Selur]

PAR 1:1 is not enough, you also need to overcrop or resize with disregard to the aspect ratio or you will not end up with 800x450 you are aiming for,..

Hybrid rev. 2012.03.01

chapter: dvd chapters not filtered for title
input: not analyzing avisynth input properly due to changes in avsInfo
missing version info for mkvmerge/mkvextract due to missing version info of old delayCut versions
interlace check not allowed to to twice with different percentages
some cosmetic bugs,..
video: cuda <> x264 <> filter: Blu-ray compatibility


*changed*

analysis: modified interlace detection


*experimental*

(windows only) avisynth script generation:
Added some Avisynth support into Hybrid, which enables Hybrid to generate AvisynthSkripts and add use some of it's filters.

negative points:

processing with avisynth stays is mainly in Yv12 (so it is not recommend to use it for anything but 4:2:0 output)
32bit Avisynth 2.6 MT (to speed up the whole thing) is used, so too complex or memory consuming scripts might cause problems
Avisynth support is by default deactivated for DVD input support since due to the fact that there isn't a source filter plugin that allows to handle complete DVDs and select a video stream by PGS and angle. If you enable Config->Internals->Handling->'Avisynth for DVD input', the Avisynth support will be enabled, but you will always end up with the first PGS from the DVD which might cause problems.
you can't edit the script manually

positiv points:

a bunch of additional filters (ColorMatrix, QTGMC, TIVTC, Decomb, RemoveGrain, Unblock, Deblock_QED, DeHalo_Alpha, dfttest, fft3dfilter, fft3dgpu,..)
frame accurate preview when using Avisynth

if you want to try it, simply download this (http://www.selur.de/sites/default/files/hybrid_downloads/development/avisynthExtension.7z) and extract it into your Hybrid folder. (this includes all .dlls and scripts Hybrid can use atm.)

Hi Selur, I wondered if you had considered changing to fhg aac, to allow you to distribute Hybrid complete without need for Nero downloads. http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=89518&st=25&p=763079&#entry763079

[Selur]

I never really thought about it, because:
1. afaik it's a Windows only encoder (or is there a Linux&Mac Variant of it?)
2. there's no site which provides the encoder dll or the command line wrapper (the wrapper has to be downloaded from Hydrogens and for the dll one has to install Winamp and extract the dll)
(-> source code or the wrapper can be found over at: https://github.com/tmkk/fhgaacenc)
3. I have no clue how the licenses are for the nsutil.dll and the enc_fhgaac.dll (libsndfile-1.dll is LGPL, wrapper is free).
4. does it support input via std:in (pipe?) if not it is not really suited for Hybrid (-> checked source code, readFromStdin is supported :))

problems I see:
1. if there's no Linux/Windows/Mac variant for it I might support it but I will not replace NeroAacEnc
2. if there's a page that distributes the wrapper and the newest dll I could mention it as download (I'm not willed to download WinAmp and extract the dll each time an update appears)
3. if the licenses allow it and 2. is given I might add it to the Hybrid Windows installer

well i've played a bit on windows it it looks really goodd mate, i must say.
it's probably the best gui i've seen that can run on linux, even thoug i haven't used it on *nix.
my point is: how on earth do i ruun it on linux!!! :D
i'm using debian stable / #!crunchbang
:thanks:
kudos

[Selur]

basically:
1. Qt runtime (there's probably a package called 'qt' or something for debian)
2. download and extract the binaries that fit your OS (Linux 64bit or Linux 32bit)
3. start the binary
Hybrid will then complain about all the tools it is missing. ;)
(i.e. x264, mplayer, ffmpeg, mediainfo, tsmuxer, neroaacenc, mkvtoolnix, gpac, lsdvd,.. see: http://www.selur.de/licence)
4. search your distributions repository install all the tools they have in it, the rest you probably have to download and compile yourself
afaik nobody made a complete debian package for Hybrid

Kept meaning to do it but never got round to it. Same using debian stable/solusos.

I believe it shouldn't be that hard, we need to ensure all dependancies listed here are fulfilled http://www.selur.de/licence
Looking at the linux package I can't see a ./configure script or Autogen.sh which would have made it a standard install.

It might be as simple as moving the zip file contents to /usr/local/ or /opt

thats precisely my point: no install scritp or anything. i just see 2 files on the zip file, hence the doubts. on windows, one just drags and drops the files. in linux, if there was a .sh script or something to install all the need shit, would be great. ill try to figure this thing out with the dev, and make a nice "how to" for *nix, at least debian.

Hybrid rev 2012.03.15.1:

*fixed*

analysis: tweaked analysis a bit more for telecine detection
tags: audio tagging with passthrough (for aac audio)
subs: crash on non utf-8 .ass/.srt to .ttxt subtitle
audio: to not adjust audio delay for encoder with Mkvmerge&NeroAacEnc since mkvmerge will do the job
audio: 'Enable audio mkv default for each source' conflicting with 'Set as default for mkv output' when enabled after source was loaded and 'Pass-through audio default/force flags'
audio: max bitrate mixup is qaac was enabled, but not target format not aac
subtitle: extract pgs subtitle from mkv file

*changed*

audio: better compensate aac encoder delay
avisynth: update to flash3kyuu_deband_1.5.0
preview: removed 'distributor()' from generated avisynth scripts during preview; preview will be slow but otherwise some script, source combinations won't show up properly (no problem during encoding though)

*addded*

audio: support for fhgaacenc (windows only)

Few small issues.

When I select autocrop I receive an error cannot autocrop missing path to mplayer.

However I installed using the installer and the path is in the config settings

C:\Program Files\Hybrid\mplayer.exe

If I choose QAAC or fhg without nero installed Hybrid crashes without leaving its debug or report file.
http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af10/Sayth_Renshaw/Untitled.png

As an aside I got the fhg dll here http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=89487 and then used the wrapper from hydrogenaudio.

[Selur]

I'll look into it,..

If I choose QAAC or fhg without nero installed Hybrid crashes without leaving its debug or report file.
Can't reproduce it here. :(

When I select autocrop I receive an error cannot autocrop missing path to mplayer.
Can't reproduce that here either,..

Just Downloaded and installed the current Version and tested.
-> I need additional infos,..

+ does anyone else have these problems too?

As an aside I got the fhg dll here ...
I used the enc_fhgaac.dll and the other dlls needed from the current WinAmp release.

Ps.: will reupload the installer since it is missing the fontconfig stuff. -> reupload is finished

PPs.: I can reproduce the 'auto'-aacProfile problem,.. (qaac does not have an 'auto'-mode)

[Selur]

Tried comparable command lines with files I got here without a problem,... -> no clue why x264 is complaining with 'invalid argument: level = 4.1'
'--level 4.1' normally is the right way to call the level,... and 1080p@24fps is also High@4.1 compatible,....
-> What x264 version are you using? (Are you using the one from the installer or did you exchange it with another one?)

[Skarabey]

Yes, I use x264 from the installer. I checked the version 2012.3.1 on the 32-bit platform - the same problem. With the Windows 64-bit the both versions are working properly.

[Selur]

just on my way to bed, will try in a Windows XP 32bit and a Windows 7 32bit VM tomorrow to see if I can reproduce it, but it is strange, since the call looks right,...
-> okay, installed Hybrid with latest installer on in the two systems and there's also no problem with level 4.1 encodes,.. :/

[Skarabey]

Sorry, It seems it isn't the problem of the Hybrid: any encoders don't work on that PC after I reinstalled the Windows.

[Selur]

Hmmm, strange...
Are you using some uncommon firewall or anti-virus tool?

Ps.: Please tell me, if you find the cause of the problem. :)

hi selur, do you have tips or trick for me? i want to encode avi to mkv, from bigger size to small size
thanks

[Selur]

use x264, use the x264 presets (select&apply) and x264 tune options (select&apply), if you use the avisynth extension (only available for windows), use DeHaloAlpha and RemoveGrain both with the default values, if you audio is already fine don't reencode it (use passthrough). If your source has black bars, crop them away. In general stick to default values unless you know what you are doing.
Other than that I really have not magic, tricks or tips. :)

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

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

[Selur]

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

Important info needed to fix&reproduce bugs:

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

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

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

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

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

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

Cu Selur

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

Hybrid rev. 2012.05.01.1

*changed*

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

*added*

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


*fixed*

analyse: avsInfo output was not properly parsed for audio data (looked into stdErr instead of stdOut output,... DOH!)

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

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

[Selur]

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

[meshaun]

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

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

[Atak_Snajpera]

post mediainfo report of those two files

[meshaun]

I'll put the video settings only ;)

[Selur]

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

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

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

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

[Selur]

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

[meshaun]

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

[Selur]

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

[meshaun]

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

[Selur]

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

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

Explain option b to me a bit please.

[Selur]

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

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

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

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

[Selur]

Does the normal preview work?

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

[meshaun]

No. Is there something to install?

[Selur]

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

[meshaun]

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

[meshaun]

Got it. PM sent with the debug report

[Selur]

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

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

[meshaun]

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

[Selur]

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

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

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

[Selur]

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

[meshaun]

So selur, how did it go mate?

[Selur]

Autocrop is called with:
"D:\Extras\Programs\Hybrid\mplayer.exe" -noframedrop -speed 100 -quiet "D:\Extras\Downloads\MEN_IN_BLACK_II\BDMV\STREAM\00001.m2ts" -nosound -vo null -ao null -demuxer 35 -vfm ffmpeg -nosub -fps 23.976 -frames 100 -vf cropdetect=24:2 -sstep 10
and mplayer only outputs:
[CROP] Crop area: X: 0..1919 Y: 0..1079 (-vf crop=1920:1080:0:0).
for your source, so Hybrid assumes that there is no cropping needed,... sorry, but I have no idea why this does not work for you,.. tested it with some blu-ray content I have here and cropping worked fine,..

[meshaun]

Selur, the thing is, I can't find what's wrong with my blurays. That's the thing. They are originals and perfectly ripped too.
Time will solve the case i guess. I tried another Bluray, same result mate. No cropping detected. But on the .mkv, perfectly done.

Except for this thing, I'm in love with the tool mate. With other encoding tools, It took like more than 24 hours to encode in Placebo, but Hybrid, maybe because of the x264 x64, only less than 12 hours.
Je suis tres content ! Thanks mate

[Selur]

I would like to help, but I'm totally confused about it, since I tried around 10 BD titles on two different machines (one win7 64bit the other winxp 32bit) both had no problem to preview&crop detect the content,.. :/

[Selur]

Hybrid rev. 2012.05.08.1:

*fixed*

audio: extraction audio from .avi with mplayer
audio: added '-strict experimantal' to the ffmpeg aac encoding calls (mac only)
audio: crash on rename call after reencoding/extration
audio: problem when fhgaacenc was enabled but not aac encoding
tools: delaycut version detection fixed
automation: autocrop and subtitle passthrough interfered,..
muxing: mkvmerge does not support 'iw' as language, added workaround to change 'iw' to 'he'
muxing: accidentally frame count made it's way into the fps options,..
avisynth: changing qtgmc->bob didn't change the displayer lables (encoding was fine -> just a cosmetic bug)
handling: handling of vfr mkv/mp4 files (remember to enable: 'Config->Automation->Matroska Settings->Scan for streched streams' and 'Config->Input settings->General settings->Always extract timecodes from mp4/mkv/ files' for vfr handling)

*added*

input: option to filter out unwanted content by extension (files with the specified extensions will be ignored)
input: drag&drop now accepts folders (in File input mode) and will also search through all sub-folder for content

*changed*

analysis: speed up interlaced analysis by adding lavthreads
package: switching to an older mplayer/mencoder build since latest builds cause problems (windows only)

hahaha. Sorry ok. I didn't know that. Won't do it again

[Selur]

No, problem you are not the first. ;)

[meshaun]

Thanks Selur. The bluray support is on now. Did a awesome job on the autocrop mate :)

[meshaun]

Abort error : C:\\users\admin\AppData\Local\Temp\2\vid.264 is too small! (byteSize : 0byte)
What's this error mate?

[Selur]

without a debug output, hard to say, but it seems like x264 crashed and didn't create a proper output file,...

[meshaun]

Tried the update.
And I found an interesting thing, check this :]
http://imagezon3.com/images/2012/05/16/bpyF.jpg

The Bitrate and SpeeUp aren't detected.

[Selur]

that's normal :)
SpeedUp is always ? or a specific value if there is a speedUp
bitrate is only detected if MediaInfo detects it,...
---
-> does the update work or not?

[meshaun]

The update didn't work.
I forgot to get the debug report though.But it's the same error. 264 is too small

[Selur]

you mentioned 'The second said that there's some syntax or command error. '
What does it say exactly please copy&paste the content of the output and post it or send it to me via pm,...

[meshaun]

Selur, I think that I did something wrong in selecting the m2ts file from the playlist. I'll trying again now. Will report if something happens.
One more thing, can't select the largest file in the Stream folder and then get the file list mate? that would be easy, because, in the playlist, I see similar files and like alot. So, mistakenly I selected the wrong file to import. That could've been the reason for the above problem.

[Selur]

One more thing, can't select the largest file in the Stream folder and then get the file list mate?
Why should selecting a file result in a file list?
Blu-ray have extra Playlist files which contain informations regarding which files to playback in which order,...
If you select a single file Hybrid will only open this one file.
If you select the Blu-ray folder in Blu-ray mode Hybrid will show you a selection of all the playlists where you can choose which one you want.
If you select a single playlist file, Hybrid will open the files linked in that playlist, in the order mentioned in the playlist.

So, mistakenly I selected the wrong file to import. That could've been the reason for the above problem.
Like I said please post or pm me the output of the mencoder call,..

[meshaun]

Still get that error mate. There are only two possible .mpsl files and this is the one with the right resolution of 1920x1080 and the audio file. But still, the video error comes.

[Selur]

Still get that error mate.
Sure it's the same error? Im mean it did work when I looked at it with teamviewer,.. does it crash directly at the start of the x264 encoding path ? -> if you send me a debug output of the job that is failing, I will look at it,..

[meshaun]

Will there be a new release with the lastest work you did mate?

[Selur]

probably tomorrow :)

[meshaun]

Great. A Big Big Big thank you to you Selur, for all the hard-work done in making efforts and succeeding at making Hybrid perfect :)
Thank you for spending your valuable time on a task like this and Thank You again :)

[Selur]

No problem,.. and curses to people who author blu-rays with 200+ playlist files and m2ts files with 200 streams,...

[meshaun]

Selur, umm, I am encoding a movie in CRF 20, 10Bit and slow preset.
It's taking like 17hours for vid only. Umm, that possible.

Because, in 8Bit, very slow preset, the encoding was only 5 hours

[Selur]

Yes, 10bit is slower than 8bit encoding, but afaik you didn't use preset 'very slow', you just selected it, but did not apply it, so to be fair you should appy the medium preset. ;)

[meshaun]

used only "Slower" not the very slow. But this much of time? 5 vs 17 hours? is the quality worth it mate?

[Selur]

depends on what you are encoding,.. 10bit has no problems with banding like 8bit does + it provides better quality,.. -> it's your choice :)

[meshaun]

CRF Medium in 10Bit will give more quality than 2pass 8Bit very slow? can we compare like that ?
your idea mate.

[Selur]

crf and 2pass aim for different things.
Use crf if you want a specific 'quality level' (crf 16-22 is normally fine for most people; most stick with 18).
Use 2pass if you aim for a specific average bitrate or specific file size.
-> you can't really compare these two since they aim for different things
if crf&2pass use otherwise the same settings and the output size is the same, the quality will be the same,..

If size is not really a concern stick with crf 18.

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Hybrid rev. 2012.05.20.1:

*fixed*

input: auto crop detection not working properly on transport stream containers
preview: audio got disabled after "Filter View" was triggered the 1st time
automation: rewrote a lot of code to handle the interactions of 'auto crop', 'pass-through subtitle', 'auto interlaced check'
input: stream selection didn't work properly for multiple video input files
input: better handling or blu-ray input and multi video input files
muxing: problem with mov muxing (on Mac OS X)

*added*

outputPath and temPath variables are now read from .ini if present

*changed*

deinterlace: auto deinterlacing will only change the deinterlaced if the content is detected as interlaced and the deinterlacer is ment for IVTC or the content is telecine and the deinterlacer is ment for deinterlacing.
output: avi output is allowed again, as a workaround to the ffmpeg bug, I'm trying to avoid to mux raw MPEG-4 ASP to .avi; Warning: if you use Hybrid to multiplex raw MPEG-4 ASP video into an .avi file, the output container flags will be wrong.

Selur where to set the priority?

[Selur]

Which priority?

[Arti]

in settings where? low, normal, high coder options?

[Selur]

I don't know which priority you are speaking of. Assuming you mean the process priority decoders and encoders run in: Hybrid automatically sets everything to the lowest priority (idle / nice -n 19) and does not offer an option to change this. (Mainly because I see no good reason why one would want to,...)

[Arti]

OK Thanks ;)

New version coming up with the new release of x264?

[Selur]

1st I need to read the changelog and figure out what has changed,... -> you can use the latest version with Hybrid, just download it from x264.nl and copy it into you Hybrid folder. (you need to rename the 10bit version to x264-10bit.exe before copying it to the Hybrid older)

hi can u rebuilt a cuda encoder against latest CUDA 5.0 (only for testing - on GT460 it is using only half of GPU) ?

[Selur]

I'll look into it on the weekend,..

Had a quick look, cuda 5.0 is not released yet and I don't plan to apply to become a CUDA developer,..
(-> if someone sends me the nvcuvenc.lib, nvcuvenc64.lib, NVEncodeDataTypes.h, NVEncEncoderAPI.h which should come with the CUDA 5 SDK I can compile a version of the command line encoder)

Hello, thanks for the program updates.
I've found myself thinking about the problem that the Number of Scanned Frames in the Autocrop is passing the limit set. I've put 20 but the scan goes passing 20 upto 120 frames and still counting.
What are the possible reasons for this mate?

[Selur]

your source is probably a mpls file which links to multiple m2ts files, to make sure all these are scanned properly Hybrid will enforce a limit of min fps of frames (so probably 24 for you) per file,... I got some code to change the behavior, but haven't had the time to test it at all,.. will send you a test version in a few minutes. ;)

[meshaun]

Thank you.
Look at here :

http://www.imagezon3.com/images/2012/06/01/reuY0.jpg

[Selur]

atm, there's no real limit, all the Blu-rays I own do not have more than 4 m2ts files linked in a mpls so this never made a huge priority on my ToDo list. :)

[meshaun]

Thank you for the update.
The Problem was fixed.

[Selur]

Hello Selur, I just wanted to thank You, because with the latest Hybrid, am doing perfect. No Errors and problems. And also, guys, Selur is a hardworking dude and fixes errors asap. Thank You Selur for this wonderful tool.

[Havokdan]

Requests:

-Better interface for batch encoding!
-Easy put sub in to video(hardsubing)

Thanks!

[Selur]

Easy put sub in to video(hardsubing)
What it complicated the way it is atm? You select a subtitle, enable 'Embed subtitle in frame', (adjust the placing etc if you want), add the subtitle to the subtitle queue.
(Enabling: Config->Automation->Passthrough->Subtitle and Config->Automation->Passthrough->Subtitle->embed first does it automatically for you)

Better interface for batch encoding!
What would be better? What is the current interface lacking?

Please be more precise with request, otherwise I will probably simply ignore them.
Also consider that new features should not interfere with old features, i.e. I won't make a major GUI overhaul for batch processing it that will complicate the normal processing,...

The current interface is not very intuitive for batch conversion of files, there could be a window or tab with a list of files to convert and have the option of a profile for each conversion, or something.

This would collide with the main ways Hybrid is working atm. so I'll probably not add/change it. I'll note it down for when I do the next major overhaul of the GUI, so not all hope is lost but I doubt it will come any time soon.

[Havokdan]

Hi Selur, I came up with a new feature Idea. I don't know if it's currently there within the settings but I didn't find it. I extract like 20 .pgs subtitle files from a bluray sometimes.
Then, when extracting all the subtitles, I have to wait around 2 hours for the Extraction. Why not add an option to add the Extraction to the Queue?

This feature is ideal for Hybrid because of the following points :
1. When encoding a video from a full BD Disc, I'll have to wait for like 2 hours or more for the Extraction Completion.
If hybrid has the Subtitle Extraction Queue, it will be easy.
2. Sometimes I have to encode 2-3 BD's by using the Queue. At those times, extracting subs and waiting for that takes away a lot of time.
3. It will be very easy if there's some "CheckBox" to tick and then click Add to Queue makes the extraction added to the queue as an individual job.

Thanks

[Selur]

Why not add an option to add the Extraction to the Queue?
Config -> Automation -> Passthrough -> Subtitle will automatically extract and add all the subtitles

but you will still have to wait for it to finish, since Hybrid adjusts the file predictions to with the size of the subtitles,...
Since I personally don't use subtitles at all or normally extract them, then run them through BDSup2Sub or other tools to get text subtitle I never had to wait so long. :)
Assuming tsMuxeR allows the extraction of multiple subtitles at the same time I might be able to speed up the whole process by not calling tsMuxeR per Subtitle but calling it one to extract all the subtitles.
Will try to look at it in the next days, I'm really busy due to normal work&co so don't hold your breath, I should have more time next month, but like I wrote, I'll try to look at it the next days,..

Hi Selur,
here is a suggestion : allow to cut some parts of a video and export the extracts in 1 file, without re-encoding, or only the cut GOP (smart rendering), especially with AVC (h264).
I know that Hybrid is an encoder and not an editor, but this function is very rare and doesn't work correctly on programs supposed to do this.
SolveigMM AVI Trimmer + MKV (a free tool) can do this with progressive AVC but not with interlaced AVC.
I also tried SolveigMM Video Splitter, which is not free, and it works with interlaced AVC (in TS container), but not well, it creates some problems on modified GOP.

The program which will succeed in making it correctly will have a lot of success !

If smart rendering is too complicated to program, the cutting of interlaced AVC on keyframes would already be great.;)

[Selur]

Hybrid already has some basic cut support. :) (I even fixed the cutting of time codes a while back, but didn't release a new version since I wanted to wait for a new MediaInfo version)
I also wrote a small demo application (http://goo.gl/cwyAa) some time back which could do video-only cutting, which didn't get much feedback, so I didn't pursue it back than.
-> In general cutting with mkvmerge should work fine,.. (at least last time I used the --split Option it worked fine) and a smart rendering option is more a thing for a separate application,... (don't think I'll write one anytime soon, it's fairly easy, but a lot of work, especially if you want a crossplattform solution)

I didn't know, I usually use it only to add chapters to mkv.

What do you mean ?

Cool, I'm gonna try this. It would be great to be able to open TS too.

In general cutting with mkvmerge should work fine,.. (at least last time I used the --split Option it worked fine)
It has no preview and one can't cut several parts and merge them at the same time.

a smart rendering option is more a thing for a separate application,... (don't think I'll write one anytime soon, it's fairly easy, but a lot of work, especially if you want a crossplattform solution)
No problem, I can wait ... at least 1 week.:D
Do you know why so many softwares fail to do it correctly if it's easy to program ?

[Music Fan]

I tried MKCutter, there is a problem : after file analysis, nothing happens.
I tried with 2 MKV and no one of them has header compressed (which is sometimes problematic).

[Selur]

What do you mean ?
I just wanted to mention, that it is not a dead feature and I try to improve and fix it from time to time.

It would be great to be able to open TS too.
it does not and probably never will,.. because:
a. Transport stream containers (ts/m2ts/mts) are the worthed containers I have ever seen
b. I don't think I will write an application for cutting

Do you know why so many softwares fail to do it correctly if it's easy to program ?
it getting really hard as soon as your input is broken and you have to formats that are not well documented,..
if hdd space is not a problem one could simply write an application that:
0. analyses the input with mediainfo
1. remux the content to mkv using mkvmerge
2. write a small interface that
a. use avisynth&ffmpegsource to preview the content (ffmpegsource allows to see the frame number & type)
b. allows to set cut points
c. generates mkvmerge split calls for the cutpoints
3. reencode parts of the output of 2.c. if frame accurate encoding is needed (here it's a bit tricky since one has to match the settings during encoding to the input file)
4. merge the files that should be merged
5. clean up
6. remux to transport stream if the output needs to be a transport stream

I tried with 2 MKV and no one of them has header compressed (which is sometimes problematic).
If this would have happened 4 month ago I would have probably looked into it, but since I don't have the motivation for it nor will I probably have the time to write a new application and maintain it (next to Hybrid and my normal work) for the next 12 month, that probably is as far as it gets. ;)

[Music Fan]

I don't understand very well your sentence, do you mean that you won't look at this problem before one year ?
I hope you will find time and motivation before next year ;)

I just wanted to mention, that it is not a dead feature and I try to improve and fix it from time to time.
Ok, but i meant : "what is the cutting of time codes" ?

I guess that MKVCutter is already supposed to do that (except for the TS remux).

[Selur]

I don't understand very well your sentence, do you mean that you won't look at this problem before one year ?
I'm not sure I will ever look at anything regarding mkvcutter again. :)

Ok, but i meant : "what is the cutting of time codes"
when mkv/mp4 files get cut that contain time codes these time codes need to be modified as well, which Hybrid didn't do.

I guess that MKVCutter is already supposed to do that (except for the TS remux).
partially, it allowed to cut, but only 'video only', all non video streams were discarded,.. it was mainly a small test how hard it would be, after realizing that it wouldn't be really hard to write a small application (get's a lot more tricky if it needs to be cross-plattform, which is why I didn't merge it into Hybrid) that could do frame accurate cutting of mkv files and not getting any feedback I dropped the project.

Cu Selur

[Music Fan]

Thanks for your answers.

I'm not sure I will ever look at anything regarding mkvcutter again.
Ok, thus I hope I will find a software able to cut MKV and/or TS correctly, which doesn't seem to exist right now. As many people are searching for that (I see that on forums), there's a niche to take.

all non video streams were discarded
If one can't keep the sound, it's not useful.

not getting any feedback I dropped the project
If you had talked to us here about this project, I'm sure some Hybrid users would have tested it, including me.
You should maybe wait that it becomes to be known, it takes some time.
Anyway, if you don't have time, I understand that you abandon it.

[pdanpdan]

hello, I think there is a problem with converting audio in avi DV (the format with audio interleaved with video), in the extraction stage
- the line is "C:\8_Soft\Multimedia\#Video\Hybrid\ffmpeg.exe" -y -threads 2 -i "D:\__\capture0000.avi" -vn -ar 48000 -acodec pcm_s16le -f mov "D:\__\capture0000 DELAY -33ms__aid_0__22_11_22_021_01.mov"
- when -vn is present there is no output (in fact it autputs a 8k file and crashes)
- if I remove the -vn switch, all works well

[Selur]

that's strange, -vn should just disable the video which should not cause any problem for pcm output,..
1. Which flavor of Hybrid are you using? (Win 32k/2/64)
2. Can you upload a small sample somewhere and send me a link?
If I can reproduce the problem here, I'll fix it and send you and adjusted version tomorrow.

[pdanpdan]

sorry, but if I trim the video small then it works
I'm using Win7 64, and Hybrid 64

Maybe it has something to do with the size of the file - 12GB?

[Selur]

Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (dvvideo -> libx264)
-> this will reencode the video to H.264 using x264, which will:
a. take more space than the pcm stream itself
b. slow down extraction quite a bit, due to the reencoding of the video stream
c. probably cause problems later on in Hybrid since the audio stream is not the first stream in the container
=> leaving -vn out is a bad idea
try if it helps if you use another ffmpeg version (older and newer), from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

Maybe it has something to do with the size of the file - 12GB?
in general not, but I don't know if there's some pcm/mov problem I'm unaware of,..

Thank you, i'll try with another ffmpeg this evening and post results here.

Since you normally use mvtools in rather complex scripts you are probably better of with using a custom script. :)

Hybrid rev. 2012.06.28.1

*added*

audio: 7.1 to stereo/5.1 down mix
muxing: option to add (multiple) audio and subtitle streams in a itunes compatible way (mp4 output will also be renamed to m4v)
avisynth: added 'field matching' option to handle content that needs field matching
avisynth: option to disable ffmpegsource single-thread enforcement (you might want to update the avisynth extension)

*fixed*

subtitles: subtitles were not always properly save as UTF-8 which could destroy the content for unicode subtitles
subtitle: bunch of bugs related to text subtitle to ttxt conversion
compatibility: accidentally 29.976 instead of 29.97 was used
input: differentiate between m4v as mp4 container and raw MPEG-4 ASP
audio: problem when reencode thd audio without an ac3 core
audio: delaycut progress
audio: handling of ogg vorbis audio
automation: loop while extracting subtitles/audio infos from input
mkv: using MediaInfos StreamOrder info instead of the ID for mkv versions 0.5.2+

*changed*

resize: 'keep resize for source' is automatically forced for multiInput
audio: custom audio handling on multiInput now allows to specify which audio handling for which source,...
audio: 7.1 to stereo/5.1 down mix
muxing: option to add (multiple) audio and subtitle streams in a itunes compatible way (mp4 output will also be renamed to m4v)
cut: adjusting time codes when cutting
extract/cut: when cutting mkv material 1st cut with mkvmerge than extract with mkvextract, than remux
subtitle: rename tsMuxeR subtitle output files to contain subtitle language
subtitle: when 'All subtitles' is enabled, for transport and mkv streams all subtitles will now be extracted in one go


*Side notes*

There's a bug in mediaInfo, which as been fixed for two weeks but since there has been no new MediaInfo release, Hybrid will still suffer from it, meaning Hybrid won't always detect a/v delay on Linux&Mac.
For more details see: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3533984&group_id=86862&atid=581181

[Selur]

log is just for amusement, doesn't help to track a bug in 90% of all cases ;)
-> need a debugOutput, see: http://www.selur.de/support

Ps.: side note: if you try to run NeroAacEnc on a 64bit ubuntuu system make sure you install:
sudo apt-get install lib32stdc++6
since NeroAacEnc seems to depend on it,..

[Snakekick]

on the commandline neroAacEnc work
i activated this option and open the file again, start the encoding and so on.
but now i am to stupid to find the log file.
this is not in the temp folder,not in hybrid folder and not in video souces/destination folder?

[Selur]

normally Hybrid creates a HybridDebugOutput.txt in the destination folder,...

[Snakekick]

hehe ok i found it ;)
...
to long to paste

[Selur]

probably only some of the last lines are interesting ;)
There should be a line which states the 'helper call' and the 'main call'

[Snakekick]

still to long...

Hello Selur,
all the things are running perfect and I am happy with the performance and features of Hybrid.
While encoding, I came of a small problem and I want to clear it out.

This is a screencap of the encoding box and what's with the Time Remaining aka Rest-time?
http://www.imagezon3.com/images/2012/07/22/Lz0d.jpg

[Selur]

no clue never seen it, probably a small bug related to the current Hybrid version you use + the way x264 posts the rest time,.. -> what x264 version are you using?

[meshaun]

The latest. Updated from the x264.nl

[Selur]

fixed,..

[alter4]

Hi guys,
I definitely cant use x264 zones feature.
It asks me about frames number that I cant bind to time intervals.
Are there any best practices?

[Selur]

I definitely cant use x264 zones feature.
not sure how to help if you definitely can't use the zone feature, works fine here. :)

It asks me about frames number that I cant bind to time intervals.
Are there any best practices?
x264s zone option works with frames:
--zones <zone0>/<zone1>/... Tweak the bitrate of regions of the video
Each zone is of the form
<start frame>,<end frame>,<option>
where <option> is either
q=<integer> (force QP)
or b=<float> (bitrate multiplier) source: x264 --fullhelp
that's why Hybrid wants the user to specify a start and end frame. :)

Assuming your source and target is cfr (constant frame rate): 'frame number'/'frame rate per second' will give you the corresponding time.
startFrame: 100 endFrame: 2000 with a frame rate of 25 fps would then define a 36 second zone 00:00:04 to 00:00:40.
(zones can get tricky if source or target is vfr or frame rate is changed,..)

Are there any best practices?
Only use it if you know what you are doing, normally one should not mess with x264s rate control. ;)

Cu Selur

[meshaun]

Selur,
as an Encoder myself, I thought of asking for a feature that will be useful to most of the Encoders. That is, create a small sample file of the Output.
I got this idea from the thumbnail idea that you've already implemented and so, why not a sample as an output too? Maybe not in all formats but samples in .mkv would do fine.

I'm unable to encode an audio stream within an old mpeg1 video. The stream format is mp2 and is supposed to be transcoded to mp3 (the video itself will be converted to xvid in an AVI container), but it is always passed through (reencode is checked of course and lame is ready to go). Do I need a special decoder for mp2? I thought ffmpeg could do the job.

[Selur]

@pintcat: Nope, that's a bug, probably not hard to fix, if you post what flavor of Hybrid (Windows 32/64/2k, Linux 32/64, Mac) you use, I can send you a fixed version later,..

-> can't reproduce the problem here,.. mp2 reencoding works without a problem,... -> no clue what you did, need more details to reproduce (see: http://www.selur.de/support)

[pintcat]

Nothing special: I encoded the video with xvid, using a constant quantizer 3 and the audio with lame 128kbs, keeping the original sample rate (44100Hz). Also tried different settings, but no success. the audio stream was added with 'auto add (first)' and in the audi menu I checked 'Reencode audio stream'.
A debug output is attached. I hope this helps a little. It seems like Hybrid simply ignores the audio settings in this particular case.
I will also send you the video (via pm) so you can see for yourself.

[Selur]

will have to wait till the attachment is approved by a moderator,...

the audio stream was added with 'auto add (first)'
I hope you didn't do the following:
- load your source with audio set to 'ignore'
- set audio to auto add (first) (this adds the audio with the currently configured settings; as default 'passthrough' to the audio queue)
- change audio settings but not the audio queue (this way the settings have changed but the audio queue hasn't)

[Selur]

I did the following:
1. set "Main->Video handling" to "Xvid"
2. set "Main->Audio handling" to "auto add (first)"
3. enabled "Audio->Reencode Audio stream"
4. set "Audio->Audio Encoding Options->Encoding->Audio format" to "mp3"
4. enable "Audio->Audio Encoding Options->Encoding->LAME"
5. enable "Audio->Audio Encoding Options->Encoding->Keep input sample rate
6. load the video
7. enabled "Main->Generate"
8. pressed "Main->Add to Queue"
9. checked the generated job,...
-> everything looks fine, audio gets reencoded, so my guess is: you did change to 'auto add (first)' before, but configured the settings it should use, after loading the source,...

auto add (first): enables the Audio-tab, but automatically adds the first input audio stream from the input file to the audi job queue with the settings defined in the Audio-tab.
side notes:
- You can still add additional audio streams in the Audio-tab.)
- Setting will not adjust to changes regarding the audio format after loading the source!source: the 'audio handling'-tooltip

Hybrid rev. 2012.08.29.1
"/sites/default/files/hybrid_downloads/Hybrid_120829_binary.zip" could not be found.

That's the QT 4.7 32-bit build ;)

[Selur]

fixed -> seem like I forgot to upload it :)

[pintcat]

I hope you didn't do the following:
- load your source with audio set to 'ignore'
- set audio to auto add (first) (this adds the audio with the currently configured settings; as default 'passthrough' to the audio queue)
- change audio settings but not the audio queue (this way the settings have changed but the audio queue hasn't)

Bingo! So in the end all was my fault again :) Now it works as it should.
In the meantime I encountered a few more oddities, but I'll have have to do more testing first and see whether I did something stupid or what else causes the program to fail.
Thanx for the nice support so far!

[Selur]

remember: if you describe in a step-by-step manor what you are doing, it's easier to reproduce and 'fix' if it's a bug. ;)

[pintcat]

Two questions...

1: I'm using my own ffmpeg build. To keep the file size small, I disabled all the additional encoders and some other stuff. Anyway, are there any optional ffmpeg-components that are needed or at least suggested for usage with Hybrid?

2: Regarding the absolute paths for the tools... After adding a tool to the list the complete path is saved (i.e. "/home/usr/hybrid/tools/x264"). I'd prefer a more portable way so I can copy the whole folder to other systems. I tried to change the path to "~/hybrid/tools/x264" in the xml file, but it didn't work. Is there another way to make copying easier?

[Selur]

regarding 1: Hybrid uses ffmpeg a. analyzing (default svn/git should be fine), b. audio/video decoding (default svn/git should be fine, if it can handle your content), c. thumbnail creation (default svn/git should be fine), d. audio encoding (vorbis/libmp3/libfaac/libvo_aacenc/flac support should be added if you want to use it)
regarding 2: on linux&mac Hybrid will look for the tools in the following folders:

next to the hybrid binary
/usr/bin
/usr/sbin
/usr/local/bin
/opt/local/bin
/opt/local/sbin
/usr/X11/bin

If you want a portable version for linux simply copy the tools next to the Hybrid binary and Hybrid should find them. (if users want it I could add an additional option to the misc.ini that would allow to set an additional 'tools'-search path)

Side notes:

tool paths&versions get updated&checked on each start. Hybrid does not support the 'hinting' of an additional 'tools folder' and does not support relative paths.
manually editing one of Hybrids xml files is always a bad idea


Cu Selur

[pintcat]

Hm... Hybrid doesn't seem to make use of ffmpeg as audio encoder. I now compiled ffmpeg with '--enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaac --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvo_aacenc', put that binary next to my other tools, removed faac, lame and oggenc and restarted Hybrid. ffmpeg was found, the other audio encoders were removed from the list and - voilà - there's no way to use aac, lame or ogg any more. Not really a problem since I still have all the binaries, just tried it out of curiosity.

[Selur]

the 'lame' checkbox get's removed as soon as there's no lame binary available, Hybrid will still use lame for mp3 encoding if ffmpeg supports it.
aac support and vorbis support should not get removed,.. will look into it,..

[pintcat]

They're not removed, but yet they don't work since Hybrid still wants to use the original binaries instead of ffmpeg.

[Selur]

Which binaries did you remove?

[pintcat]

lame, oggenc and all aac encoders (neroaac & faac).

[Selur]

okay, and neither mp3, vorbis nor aac encoding does work?
(at least vorbis should,...)

-> please, create a debug output of the job creation

+ which version of Hybrid do you use (linux 32/64bit)?

[pintcat]

aac support is completely gone, lame 'can't be found by mencoder', so doesn't even add audio encoding to the job list, ogg-vorbis is added, but doesn't work/quits due to the missing oggenc binary. Bug report (pastebin this time ;) ): http://pastebin.com/Lwct8QmV

[Selur]

Ah, found the problem,.. will fix and send you a binary via pm,..

[pintcat]

Nicccce! I'm using the Linux 32bit version for QT4.6.

New MKVToolnix version got released.

will add it to the next release, other than that nothing more to do for me since none of the command line switches have changed,.. (btw. there's a new mencoder/mplayer build over at http://www.spirton.com/mplayer-mencoder-subjunk-build/ that fixes a few bugs, i.e. one that caused Hybrid to sometimes not detect lpcm audio streams)

Thanx for that :) I'm still using Linux with QT 4.6

32 or 64bit?

[pintcat]

32bit, forgot to mention.

[Selur]

I'm only logging in remote to my linux machine via ssh, so send me some feedback if the problem is fixed. (send you a link to a hopefully fixed version)

[digitall.h]

Thank you Selur for programming this useful tool. I find it very intuitive, helpful, comprehensive and well done. Congratulations.

I'm on Linux Mint KDE 13.
I have Hybrid 2012.10.16.1 installed (and running right now!).
I installed almost every tool needed by Hybrid, except mkv* tools (I don't plan to use mkv by now), Windows things (avisynth, I hope some day avxsynth...), and few other tools.
The mplayer version installed in Mint is mplayer2.

When I use DVD input, and go to Filtering tab, under Denoise/Sharpen/... I have all filters greyed out but Gradfun.
I cannot activate any filter.
I read that filtering is done by mencoder, so I think this problem is not related to mplayer version (I preferred not to uninstall it since it came with the distro, and I don't know if it will break things).
I read the thread, and searched the forums, and I didn't find any clue.

Can you please give me some suggestion?.

[Selur]

I cannot activate any filter.
probably because mplayer and mencoder are missing, this happens if Hybrid thinks it can only use ffmpeg,..

The mplayer version installed in Mint is mplayer2.
okay,... not sure if mplayer2 supports everything mplayer&mencoder did nowadays, I know it didn't so so half a year ago,..
The MEncoder codebase was thoroughly rotten and has been deleted. A different solution to provide some encoding functionality will be added in a future version.
source: http://www.mplayer2.org/differences/#differences
so there's probably still some stuff missing,..

-> Since mplayer2 and mplayer should be quite different, I see no harm in installing mplayer&mencoder additionally to mplayer2. (you normally should not have to deinstall mplayer2 to use mplayer&mencoder)

Cu Selur

[digitall.h]

Thanx for your fast answer.

probably because mplayer and mencoder are missing, this happens if Hybrid thinks it can only use ffmpeg,..
They both are installed, indeed: mencoder, and mplayer2.

-> Since mplayer2 and mplayer should be quite different, I see no harm in installing mplayer&mencoder additionally to mplayer2. (you normally should not have to deinstall mplayer2 to use mplayer&mencoder)
But when I select mplayer in synaptic, it marks mplayer2 to uninstall it...
I'm afraid about uninstalling mplayer2, will it be advisable?. :confused:


Meanwhile, I finished first encode. And after 6 hours (not bad) it aborted when muxing (MP4Box) with an exitCode1. :eek:
I keep the streams. Audio stream plays well. Chapters look good (don't know if in the right format...) in Kate. Cannot play the *.264 stream in VLC or Xine or Kaffeine, but it opens well in MediaInfo (and seems correct) and in tsMuxerGUI.
Can I get more info about the origin of the error?. And how can I solve it?.

[Selur]

Can I get more info about the origin of the error?. And how can I solve it?.
Sure, if you enable the DebugOutput a DebugOutput file should get created which should contain more infos. Other than that I can't really say much about the problem without more details.

hi selur..:D
how to change resolution (automatic resize?)?
ex: i have video, 1280x720 (720p) then i want to change to 480p with automatic resize

[Selur]

how to change resolution (automatic resize?)?
ex: i have video, 1280x720 (720p) then i want to change to 480p with automatic resize

enable Crop/Resize->Enable resizing
set target width to 720 by setting to Crop/Resize->Picture Resize->Target resolution->720 (height should be grayed out since "Auto adjust" is set to "Height")
activate letterbox by enabling "Crop/Resize->Add borders to fit size" and setting: "Crop/Resize->Letterbox->Width" to 720 and "Crop/Resize->Letterbox->Height" to 480
make sure, "Crop/Resize->Misc->Keep resize for new source" is enabled (which is the default value)

[digitall.h]

Hi Selur,
I redid the encode, with the same result and exitCode1.

I had enabled Create debug file, level:1, is this what you suggested by with 'enable DebugOutput'?.
Where is the debug file stored?. I cannot find it.

[Selur]

Where is the debug file stored?. I cannot find it.
should be next to your output file

I had enabled Create debug file, level:1, is this what you suggested by with 'enable DebugOutput'?.
depending on what DebugLevel you choose more/less data will be visible normally level 1 or 2 is enough,...

[digitall.h]

I cannot find the debug file! :mad:
I searched in output (where streams are, in /tmp), in /home, in the folder where the DVD files are, in ~/.hybrid,... No debug file.

To get some information I tried the hybrid job command in the command line:
"/usr/bin/MP4Box" -add "/tmp/gand_15_53_21_451_04.264"#video:fps=25:par=16/15:delay=80 -brand avc1 -add "/tmp/gand ms_fr_aid_128__15_53_21_451_02.ac3"#audio -tmp "/tmp" -new "/home/ximo/Gandahar/Gandahar.mp4"
I just put video and audio, and no chapters or subs, to identify the error.
With that code I get the following error:
Error importing /tmp/gand_15_53_21_451_04.264#video:fps=25:par=16/15:delay=80: I/O Error
Does this help?.

[Selur]

Does this help?
No, it just sais that mp4box doesn't like the video stream. It does not provide any informations where how the videostream was created etc.

I cannot find the debug file!
judging from the output file ("/home/ximo/Gandahar/Gandahar.mp4"), the HybridDebugOutput.txt should be located in "/home/ximo/Gandahar/"

[digitall.h]

judging from the output file ("/home/ximo/Gandahar/Gandahar.mp4"), the HybridDebugOutput.txt should be located in "/home/ximo/Gandahar/"
But it's not there... Can you point me to where I am to enable DebugOutput?. Just to confirm I did it well.


No, it just sais that mp4box doesn't like the video stream. It does not provide any informations where how the videostream was created etc.
Find below the x264 command from the log tab:

If you think it will be of any help, I have the rest of the x264 encoding log.

this is probably not the cause of your problem, but you might want to update your x264 version (r2151 is from February of this year,... current version is r2216)

[digitall.h]

Config->Internals->Handling->Create debug file
Well, it was already enabled...

Can't really help you since the infos you provide are by far not enough so spot any problem,...
Please, tell me what information would be helpful.

Most probably this is not an error in Hybrid, and I'm just making you waste your time...
Hybrid analyzed the files, and streams, and extracted the audio, and adjusted it with DelayCut. It then created a x264 script that encoded a 264 raw stream. Then tried to mux the generated streams with MP4Box, and here came the error... Apparently something wrong in the video stream, according to mP4Box output.

The x264 script looks good. It takes the video from stdin, isn't it?. But I don't see in the log where the video is 'sent' from, is it from mplayer?.
Is there any tool/program to analyze the generated stream and try to detect where the problem is?.

[Selur]

The x264 script looks good. It takes the video from stdin, isn't it?.
yes

But I don't see in the log where the video is 'sent' from, is it from mplayer?.
this and other informations are present in the DebugOutput, the log only contains some rudimentary infos :)
You can see the calls in the Job Queue if you disable "Minimize job command lines" (in the upper right corner)

If you tell me if you use a 32bit or a 64bit version I can compile my latest development build for you,...

Yes, I looked at autosavedJobs.xml and could see the pipe:
mencoder -ovc raw -noskip -field-dominance -1 -vf yadif=0,crop=718:572:0:2,scale,format=i420 -forcedsubsonly -nosub -nosound -mc 0 -really-quiet -of rawvideo -o -

I see that the video is piped with mencoder and not mplayer, so no problem here with mplayer2.

Related to my first question, not being able to apply filtering, I loaded a new file in Hybrid and at first I had filtering enabled. But I didn't touch anything. I went back to crop/resize, and when I went forth again to filtering, it was greyed out. I will try to reproduce it with a new file.

If you tell me if you use a 32bit or a 64bit version I can compile my latest development build for you,...
Great!, thank you. I'm on a 64bit system

Hybrid development version 2012.10.27.1
I reproduced the error:

Select DVD input
Press DVD folder and select the folder
In audio handling select passthrough all
Enable tagging
Press extract subtitles
Go to subtitle tab, select the extracted sub and add to Subtitle queue
In x264 tab general settings select crf, and apply veryslow preset and film preset
In Crop/Resize tab enable cropping, select crop style avisynth and press autocrop
After that in filtering tab filters are greyed out

I also noticed that if I apply a filter, enable filter view and press Filter View, the screen blinks and nothing happens. In the debug file I see no reference to this.
Opposite, if I enable crop view and press Crop View, it does launch a window with the video.

Hope all this is of any help.

Any advice to analyse my first encoded stream to see what was wrong?.

[Selur]

In the debug file I see no reference to this.
PreviewDebug Output needs DebugLevel 7

No clue how to analyse the stream to find out what went wrong.

Tried to reproduce the problem, but it works fine here.
Tried on Windows 7, Window XP, Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. :(

going to bed now, will download Linux Mint 13 KDE 64bit, install it in a VM tomorrow and try again to reproduce the problem.

Cu Selur

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
well things become more complicated...
When I try a different source (this time not animation but film), I cannot reproduce the Filtering tab problem... :confused:
I will try another animation film.
A problem that just emerges with a particular source?

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
I did two full encodes with Hybrid, one anime and one film, with no problem. So I suppose that the problem was in this particular film.
I already encoded this same film with Handbrake, without a problem. Of course, we cannot compare both programs, and I really prefer by far the possibilities to adjust the encoding and muxing and tagging to my taste in Hybrid. But this problematic film was encoded to x264 well with another program, so there's something that Hybrid cannot manage and Handbrake can.

There's another question that maybe was addressed before, sorry me if you already answered it. In one film Hybrid failed in detecting the correct source aspect ratio. It detected 16:15 input PAR. It is a MPEG2 with a Display Aspect Ratio of 16:9, and when I play the Hybrid encode it looks like DAR 4:3, vertically stretched. In Handbrake it detetcts the source film as PAR 64:45, don't know if it is more correct for this film, and if this helps.

[Selur]

Hybrid uses MediaInfo to read the Pixel Aspect Ratio of the file, so that gives us three possibilities:
a. MediaInfo reports a wrong PAR (and Hybrid uses this wrong PAR)
b. MediaInfo reports the right PAR, but Hybrid interprets it wrong
c. PAR in Source is not correct.
-> Analyse your source with MediaInfo, this should at least clear up if it's b. or not. :)


Before you ask: No, Hybrid does not read the Display Aspect Ratio, but only the PAR. Why?
Simply because:
a. PAR is more concrete Info
b. Since PAR, DAR and resolution are connected, and if one has two of the three the last one can be calculated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_aspect_ratio)

Cu Selur

[digitall.h]

Selur,
I have version MediaInfoLib - v0.7.52

The original film information (MediaInfo GUI) is:
Display aspect ratio: 16:9
(I find this strange, it says DAR and not PAR)

The Hybrid encoded information is:
Display aspect ratio: 4:3

So I think this is situation b.

[Selur]

If MediaInfo is not showing the PAR, you are probably not using it right ;)
Set Debug->'Details - 10' to see all the infos MediaInfo offers. :D
If there was no PAR, Hybrid would assume 1:1, but I bet that this is not the case with your source. ;)

[digitall.h]

If MediaInfo is not showing the PAR, you are probably not using it right
Of course, you're right.
I'm using the GUI, but in Debug I did not select 'Complete' (in my version there's no 'Details - 10')
And with Complete I now see in the source:
Pixel aspect ratio: 1.422
Display aspect ratio: 1.778
Display aspect ratio: 16:9

And in the Hybrid file:
Pixel aspect ratio: 1.067
Display aspect ratio: 1.333
Display aspect ratio: 4:3
In Hybrid I did not change anything related to PAR, and it identified and encoded the source as 1.067 and not 1.422.
In the other encode it detected and encoded well... :confused:

[Selur]

would be nice if you could upload a small sample of the source so I can reproduce the problem here.

[digitall.h]

Do you think the first 1024 Kb vob title can be uploaded?, where to?

[digitall.h]

BTW, after finishing encode Hybrid cleans up temporal files, but it leaves behind the subtitle (*.idx and *.sub) files and an audio (*.ac3) stream in tmp and in Output folders.
Does it have any purpose?, couldn't everything be cleaned and just deliver de encoded file?

[Selur]

Subtitles will only be removed if Subtitle->'Delete subtitle after muxing' is enabled.
Audio Files should normally be automatically removed (unless the job processing crashed).
-> without a debug output (and/or a source and a step-by-step guide) I can't reproduce the problem,...

[digitall.h]

Thank you for the information. I'm sorry for these obvious questions, I suppose I don't know how to use Hybrid well yet...

Where can I upload the first VTS___.VOB of the film?.

[Selur]

if it's not large you can send it to my email (selur @ hybrid . de) other than that, stuff it in a password protected zip upload it to a file host of your choice and send me the download link and the password via PM

[digitall.h]

It's 1 GiB in size, too big for mail?

[Selur]

yes! If you got an gmail account you could upload it to google docs and share it with me.

[digitall.h]

Well, it took for ages!.
Already uploaded. Interested in your feedback.

[digitall.h]

@selur,
I tried with a new source.
I had again the problem with filtering being greyed out. But if I set filtering first and crop/resize after, I can adjust filtering. When I apply then crop/resize, filtering is greyed, but with the parameters I set. I don't know if it will be then applied...
But there's another problem. After adjusting all the parameters, when I click on Add to queue I get an error
Enforce ffmpeg is enabled for dvd input! -> create debug output and contact author!
... :eek:

I sent to your mail the HybridDebugOutput file
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Did you have time to look at the file I sent you?

[Selur]

Just came home, will look at the file, but the 'Enforce ffmpeg is enabled for dvd input! ' should only happen if there's something wrong with mplayer/mencoder,...

I sent to your mail the HybridDebugOutput file
seems like you forgot to attach the DebugOutput,.. ;)

Looked at the file, here it's detected as PAR 1.422 -> settings up a Mint VM to check if your system is somehow broken of it it's a problem with Hybrid&Mint

Regarding the PAR detection, check if it helps to activate 'Config->Inptu settings->General Settings->Analyse first/last vob of current title', some times DVDs have some wrong infos in the 1st/last vob,.. (some of these 'protection by breaking the content' kind of things)

[Selur]

This would be a bad thing, at least for me. Will write a small step-by-step guide what I did, may be that will help to figure out what is going wrong. :)

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
on second thoughts, I'm not really sure there's just a problem in Mint, or in the interaction Hybrid&Mint. This strange behaviour (Filtering greyed out, Enforce ffmpeg enabled,...) just appears with some sources, and with other Hybrid doesn't complain at all and detects/encodes/muxes without a problem.

I hope we'll be able to identify the problems since I enjoy Hybrid a lot!.

[Selur]

What I see in the debug log is:

1. your /usr/bin/mplayer binary points to mplayer2 not to a normal mplayer binary. mencoder on the other hand really points to mencoder.
-> did you not install mplayer?

2. your MediaInfo version is quite old (0.7.52, current is 0.7.61)

3. your x264 build is also quite old (2151, current is 2216)

4. your mp4box version is also relatively old (0.4.6m current is 0.5.1)

5. you ffmpeg version really is old, it's 0.8.3, current is more 1.0 ;)

(your mencoder version is up to date :))

6. sox is 14.3.2 instead of 14.4

------------

Also according to the Log the Pixel Aspect Ratio is detected as 1.422, only title 4 (VTS_03_1.VOB) has an aspect ratio of '1.067' the rest has 1.422.

According to the log, 1.422 is displayed and used as input&output PAR.

[Selur]

I think I found the main problem: 'Enforcing, ffmpeg as decoder since cropHeight%4 != 0'
-> since mencoder had (probably still has) a problem with to resize to a height which isn't mod4 Hybrid enforces, ffmpeg as decoder which causes problems with DVD input, since ffmpeg can't handle DVD input. :)
So you are probably save if you make sure if you crop to mod4 resolutions.
If you use autocrop, simply set Crop/Resize->Advanced Auto Crop Options->mod to 4.
I'll check if current mencoder/mplayer versions still have this problem (totally forgot about it) and if they to enforce mod 4 for autocrop on dvd input.
-> bug is still present :/

Also according to the Log the Pixel Aspect Ratio is detected as 1.422, only title 4 (VTS_03_1.VOB) has an aspect ratio of '1.067' the rest has 1.422.

According to the log, 1.422 is displayed and used as input&output PAR.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear... :(
The Debug I sent you is related to the 'Enforce ffmpeg...' error, in another source (film). In this case the PAR was correctly detected.
The sample I sent you was a previous one, where Hybrid had the incorrect PAR detection problem.

If you use autocrop, simply set Crop/Resize->Advanced Auto Crop Options->mod to 4.
It worked!!. That source that I sent you the Debug, and Hybrid didn't create a Job complainig about a 'Enforce ffmpeg...', now created a Job well.

I'll try to disable first/last vob analyse now to see if Hybrid detects now well the PAR

[Selur]

The sample I sent you was a previous one, where Hybrid had the incorrect PAR detection problem.
Strange thing is, it does detect the PAR here fine with that sample

[digitall.h]

I will upload another sample of the first film I tried in Hybrid.
No matter whether I set autocrop to mod2 or mod4, or enable/disable 'Analyse first/last vob of current title', it does detect it as PAR 16/15 when it's 64/45.

Related to the old versions of ffmpeg/mplayer2/mediainfo/x264/sox/... I have nothing to do about it.
I may compile them from source, but I may break other dependencies of programs using them, and loose automatic update.
I could also use a PPA with more updated versions. It's risky and may also break things, but it will update. Do you any of any confident PPA for these programs?. :)
Are these the versions in your Mint VM?

[Selur]

the mod thing has nothing to do with the PAR problem.

Do you any of any confident PPA for these programs
I posted ppa afaik and use them over at: http://forum.selur.de/topic124-hybriddependencies-for-ubuntu.html
(normally I keep my systems up-to-date, so updating the tools I mentioned normally doesn't break stuff for me,..)

Are these the versions in your Mint VM?
No, haven't set up the VM since the only problem left is the PAR problem which is like I wrote before one of the the possibilities:

a. MediaInfo reports a wrong PAR (and Hybrid uses this wrong PAR)
b. MediaInfo reports the right PAR, but Hybrid interprets it wrong
c. PAR in Source is not correct.

I'm still confused about your postings since you said the source would be detected as 1.096, but the debugoutput you send showed that 1.422 was displayed and used.

Cu Selur

[digitall.h]

I posted ppa afaik and use them over at: http://forum.selur.de/topic124-hybriddependencies-for-ubuntu.html
Great!, very detailed. I had missed that. So you use these PPA regularly, so we can trust. This will just leave not-updated sox and GPAC, not bad.

I'm still confused about your postings since you said the source would be detected as 1.096, but the debugoutput you send showed that 1.422 was displayed and used.
Probably my fault for not explaining well myself:

The DebugOutput was related to the 'Enforce ffmpeg...' error, solved with mod4.
The source detected as 16/15 was the first one, that I'm uploading now to Google Drive. It is detected as 16/15 whether I enableor disable 'Analyse first/last vob of current title'.

Sorry me if the information was confusing.

[digitall.h]

selur,
the upload of the first vob of the problematic film is completed.

I see that in the ~motumedia ppa I can also update my mplayer2 version.
I can try first this update and see if it improves some strange behaviours in Hybrid, before uninstalling mplayer2 and substituting it with mplayer, isn't it?.

Is it really necessary for Hybrid properly working a cutting edge version of ffmpeg?.
I'm asking because in ffmpeg ppa they warn it can break some backward compatibility and may find issues, and that some distros are based more in libav than in ffmpeg...

[Selur]

you don't have to uninstall mplayer2, you simply need to make sure that the binary in /usr/bin points the normal mplayer or configure Hybrid->Config->Tools to use the right version.

googles drive share aborts the download after a few seconds, not sure where the problem is atm. will try to download a bit later,...

[digitall.h]

When I say I have to uninstall mplayer2 it's because to install mplayer with Synaptic it detects mplayer2 as an incompatibility and marks mplayer2 to be uninstalled.
If I try and manage to install mplayer from ppa, I'm afraid that it will overwrite some binary and break the system. I read that mplayer2 uses the same name as mplayer (i suppose it refers to the binary name), so I cannot have both of them living together in my system at once.

[Selur]

I read that mplayer2 uses the same name as mplayer (i suppose it refers to the binary name),
argh,..

[digitall.h]

...yes, I know :rolleyes:

[digitall.h]

selur, in my last encode (FullMetal Alchemist) I see some artifacts.
There's a bridge hanging with small lines, and the flicker and look jagged, instead of straight lines.
I suppose this is nothing related to Hybrid but with hqdn3d or x264, isn't it?.

[digitall.h]

Hi selur,
I tried to update mplayer2 with motumedia ppa, but it said the last version failed to build (...)
So I finally decided to uninstall mplayer2 and install mplayer.
Synaptic detected several problems with dependencies, I will see later if these lead to errors.

I have a source that Hybrid detects as PAR 256x135 when it seems to be 64x45.
When I force input PAR to 64x45, and manually apply crop to 702x430 (or whatever cropping) filtering is greyed out...
I can proceed to the end and generate a job.
I am uploading the first VOB and sending you the Debug.
I will run the job tonight, but I'd rather have the chance of applying filtering to it...

[Selur]

do not just send me a debug output also write a small step-by-step guide what you click in what order so I can reproduce the problem,...

I have a source that Hybrid detects as PAR 256x135 when it seems to be 64x45.

mencoder on linux can't handle non mod4 crop resolutions for dvd input -> if you want to filter crop to mod4
430 is not mod4, but mod2,... 430/4 = 107 with rest 2

I am uploading the first VOB and sending you the Debug.
I will run the job tonight, but I'd rather have the chance of applying filtering to it...
first check what PAR MediaInfo reports for you source,... unless the PAR MediaInfo reports and Hybrid uses differs a sample will not help.

[digitall.h]

I send you a step-by-step by mail.
Yes, you're right, mediainfo reports as being PAR 1.896 (~256x135).

As autocrop did not detect properly the cropping, I did it manually.
I got the mod4 error, and filtering greyed out.
I then changed to 704x428 (mod4), but filtering kept greyed out.
I closed Hybrid, reopen and adjust cropping manually to 704x428, but filtering appears greyed out anyway. It seems like manual crop disables filtering?.

I uploaded the sample anyway, just to see if there's something wrong in my system. I previewed in Hybrid with detected PAR 256x135, and manually entering 64x45, and in 256x135 looks stretched to my eyes, 64x45 more natural.
I also tried to enable/disable analyse first/last vob, with same result.

In last Hybrid build I still find it leaves an *.ac3 audio track in /tmp, and the subtitle track is not deleted, even if I select 'Delete subtitle...'

selur, as always, :thanks:
