shubin - can you try turning off auto max bitrate and set the max yourself and see if that makes any difference ?
also you could try forcing closed GOPs and see how that does.

Yes, I'll do it ASAP. However I'm almost sure that the problem is in
the uniform black color or the scene.
Literally :

blackness(clip).converttoyuy2()
subtitle("bla-bla"...
converttoyv12(true)

I tried TMPGENC on the same .avs file and got m2v that did not play
on desktop player correctly. I had to write noise adding filter
that helped to deal with the problem.
Older versions of XVid had this problem too, but now it's gone.
I'll also try QuEnc with noise added.

[Shubin]

I've tested an improved version of .avs (noise added) that
does not confuse TMPGEnc, with closed GOPs and max bitrate=8000
(bitrate=7000).

The same result.

Film looks like this : VERY noisy (originally noisy) video,
fade into black, few changing titles on black, fade-in
back to video.
Video stops somewhere after the black part.

ok something for you guys to test and REPORT YOUR FINDINGS on. :)

before downloading though understand these things.

1. this is my test build and not Nics so do NOT blame him for any problems with it.
2. this is a TEST version so may contain problems that Nics 0.51 didnt.
3. CBR is still no good and has already been said the rate control of libavcodec needs rerwriting to fix that.
4. i am releasing this so people can test out changes and report the good aswell as the bad. if nobody reports anything then why should i bother to release a test ?

ok now on to the subject of this.

QuEnc 0.51 D1 test build.

changes include
.different settings for varied frame size/bitrate.
.change to rate control settings to try and reduce bitrate spikes.
.new custom quant(still called notch in the gui for compatability and testing) which should work with trellis. meaning no more of those artifacts.

you can download it from here
http://pcpages.com/dragongodz2/

there is a limited amount of downloads per month being a free page so any mirrors would be appreciated.

Great work dragongodz; this new version fixed my problem right up :) Thanks again, and I look forward to testing this new build further.

[dragongodz]

Paced - cool. there is still other changes i want to try but thought i better not put in everything at once or then i wouldnt know what was causing the good or the bad. :)

Hi there,

I am also a very happy user of DIKO with QuEnc, and have run into the same problem as Shubin.
I am going to give this test version a try, and see if it helps, with the changes in the rate control.

I will report my findings.

Thanks for your work!

Hi,

I'm getting this error msg saying that I need to have "ConvertToYUY2()" on the bottom of my avs files (created by dvd-rb) I can see this line above the bottom line (bottom line is "AudioDub(BlankClip())").
This makes QuEnc skip on to the next avs file and stops with the same error msg.

How do I fix this please?

dvd-rb 0.55b and QuEnc 0.51

Hi, for QuEnc to work, you'll need "ConvertToYV12()" instead. This line will automatically be added to your script if you choose "QuEnc" in DVD-RB's "Mode" option (you will then need to run the "Prepare" phase again).

@dragongodz - Cool, I look forward to the changes you have in mind; whatever they may be :)

Oh I see, I must have done something weird in the preparation phase I guess, thanks :)

[GamigiN]

Okie, preperad with QuEnc and such, here's the error msg.
http://www.noaccess.org/QuEnc_error.jpg

avs file(s) contain this:
#------------------
# AVS File Created by DVD Rebuilder
# VOBID:01, CELLID:01
#------------------
mpeg2source("V01.D2V")
trim(0,9460)
ConvertToYV12()
AudioDub(BlankClip())

I have no idea how to correct this.
Any help appreciated.

Hi,

Back with the results of the test with the new version, regarding the problem with multiplexing...

No luck :(

Still same result, and the files can't be multiplexed by mplex.exe.

Looking forward to any news about this... :)

I've never seen an mpeg2source() statement that had no path associated with it. Do you have anything selected in the working path?

Yes there is a real path I just edited it out.

GamigiN,

Try opening the AVS in VirtualDubMod, does it give any error messages?

[GamigiN]

It sure does:

http://www.noaccess.org/virtualdubmod_error.jpg

#------------------
# AVS File Created by DVD Rebuilder
# VOBID:01, CELLID:01
#------------------
mpeg2source("D:\TEMP\D2VAVS\V01.D2V")
trim(0,7687)
ConvertToYV12()
AudioDub(BlankClip())

Its saying that because your mpeg2dec3.dll or dgdecode.dll (im not sure which dvd-rb use) isnt in the right directory, try moving it to your avisynth 2.5\plugins directory.

Problem solved :) It was the MPEG2Dec3dg.dll, I ticked the option to add it to tha avs file in dvd-rb, voila.
Thanks Jimmy.
