AVI input in AutoGK

[len0x]

So here we go, its finally here, but we still have a long way to go.
I'm creating this thread specificaly for bug requests/dicussions ONLY for AVI input.

Features so far (as per current 2.xx version):

- no denoising is done for AVI mode
- no cropping is done for AVI mode apart from the one needed to keep AR (if you need it then enable it via hidden options)
- DV sources are detected via "dv" string in 4cc and appropriate AR resizing is performed (AR is 1.095 or 0.909). Original AR option won't work for such sources.
- Analysis step is only performed for DV source (for deinterlacing)
- BFF is assumed for DV sources
- input audio can be PCM(encoded)/MPA(encoded)/MP3(always kept)/AC3(encoded or kept)/DTS(encoded or kept)
- if your DV source is 16:9 then you need to enable this AR in hidden options as AutoGK can't detect that.
- mp3 re-encoding is not possible due to LAME crashing on most mp3 sources

Seeing avi input in AutoGK made me very happy, because although I use GK myself, I help a lot of others with their encodes, and just today I had someone ask me how he could reencode an avi to make it slightly smaller. I tried out the avi input option to see if it will load ok, etc., and started an encode just to test it, but cut it off because I needed the computer. And since it worked for me, I happily told this other user to try AutoGK instead of teaching him how to do it in Vdub. Sorry he didn't keep the logs, this was his first attempt at encoding anything, but when he clicked on Start he got:
EXCEPTION: '29mn' is not a valid integer value

I know the original avi was divx5 and I assume that the error has something to do with the framerate (?)

Just wanted to post that, maybe it will help.

Yay finally! AVI support! I did some tests with my captured DV files and anything that was 4:3 worked fine. My 16:9 captured DV videos didn't come out properly though. (I use a Canon Optura Xi)

I look forward to when this new feature matures some more.

When trying to convert a FRAPS (http://www.fraps.com/) captured video from a game I get the following error:

Avisynth open failure:
AutoCrop: Currently supports YUY2 and YB12 color formats only.

FRAPS uses its own codec called FPS1. I can't seem to find any specs on it, though :-/

Does this mean I'm translating an already outdated tutorial? :D

This is happening when AutoGK tries to parse the duration of an AVI file. I need the string that is being shown in video info after input file is selected.

Of course :) AVI files do not store DAR/PAR in them, so its impossible to automatically detect 16:9 sources. Can you provide me with a small sample of such AVI please? (it would probably have to be processed using AR hidden option when I support that).

That can be easily fixed. Can you also provide small sample for me for testing, please?

[GizmoDerMokwai]

just wanted to say, that avi to avi convertion works already fine for me. tried converting 2 episodes of king of queens (xvid->xvid/audio direct-stream copy/pal) without any problem! keep it up!

[len0x]

Glad to hear that. I was testing AVI-2-AVI conversion on XviD/DivX/MJPEG, so those ones should not have any problems. DV and other codecs might as I don't have enough testing material.

No :) I'll be atl east 1-2 months before next stable version is out and tutorial needs to be updated...

URL sent to you via a PM!

Again, check the PM for a URL to the sample.

For the FRAPS capture you MUST have FRAPS installed in order to view the capture. It installs the FPS1 codec to allow you to view the file. You may download FRAPS from here:

http://www.fraps.com/.

Please let me know when you've downloaded the samples so I may remove them!

request: mp3 reencode (not just kept as is). useful when >128 kbps or for stereo-to-mono (when we know original audio IS mono even when original AC3 on the dvd was 2.0, which happens with so many before-1990s-movies) conversion.

[kilivipin]

Wow! Great feature.

hm... I don't know where incorporate this feature (as it cannot be automatic). I'll think about it.

[Mtz]

Nice feature. Sometime ago I made a request for it. ;)

Some "cosmetics" things for now:
- after installing 2.0, in file mode I can select only AVI. After pressing the DVD Input and back Avi Input I can select all media files.
- when checking "use external subtitles" the warning window still show: " External subtitles cannot be played on standalone players..." AFAIK, now, most of players can play them. I think the warning is better something like this: "On some standalone players external subtitles cannot be played".
I'm a little involved in standalones (firmwares) world and I know that.

For players which still cannot support external subtitles can be added in AVI mode by selecting some subtitle from PC?

enjoy,

I have a question for ya. How do you resize 16:9 material now? At the moment for 4:3 DV sources I use 1.0925 PAL (0.909 NTSC) PAR. Which is slightly different from DVDs (1.066/0.9). I need some expert advice on how to resize 16:9 DV sources (well I read in sticky thread of DV forumn that actually if not taking into account overscan I can just resize the same way as DVD).

Some differences about original movie:

Regarding matrices, many players don't like custom matrices.

This ain't right :) It causes fps change. Fixed.

P.S. How come its interlaced though? Can you make a small clip available for me?

Since I'm not going daily builds these days, but still wanna test the fixes for the problems described in this thread here is the current fix:

Video info: DivX 5 - 640x480 - 25fps - 29mn 400ms

Turns out he tried another one after that, and it didn't come up with the error. This is what he wrote:

The one that worked had:
Video info: DivX 5 - 640x480 - 25fps - 28mn 46s 320ms
but sound got bumpy hum in the background after the re-encode

As I mentioned earlier he's a complete newbie. I just tried one and it turned out great, of course I used an avi that I made myself, so I know the original source is fine.

Seconds are missing, I need to improve parsing of that.

Well, I am absolutely no expert on this. I had tried to get a good avs script in the DV forum but all of the resizing part I didn't quit understand everything.

Here's what I currently use for Computers:

# simplest possible scaler, no anti-aliasing, filtering, etc. just blend two
# lines into 1.

PointResize(720,240)

# high quality (slight sharpening) upscale vertical resolution to correct
# aspect ratio for letterboxed 16:9

BicubicResize(720,400)

# you always want width and height evenly divisible by 16 for sake of the
# macroblocks.

#Crop(0,4,720,352)

# voila 720x480.

#AddBorders(0,64,0,64)


This is someone else's code so I don't know if that's what you were looking for or not.

I just took a look at what the audio was myself, I'm just copying and pasting what he sent me. 56kb/s, well that might have done it right there. Looks like the audio may have been "bumpy" to begin with, just exaggerated by AutoGK during the reencode...lol

I fixed that already :) will be in 2.01

[Exoskeletor]

well done lenox. youre fast and furious
(External subs choice had to be putted a little bit better. its not exacly in the middle)
keep fixing :)

[musicnyman]

tried to use 2.00 to convert a divx 3 to divx 5 file and output file is a very low resolution. i know converting an already compressed avi file to another avi file is not the best, but i need to convert these files to be able to play them on a standalone player, thus divx 5 instead of divx 3.

i can try using xvid, but i don't have it installed, i only use divx 5 pro for my encodings...

you can see the source resolution was 640x480 and ended up with a 240x144 file instead, even after telling autogk to make the output file size a little bigger than the source, compensating for encoding an already compressed divx file.

you can see the source resolution was 640x480 and ended up with a 240x144 file instead, even after telling autogk to make the output file size a little bigger than the source, compensating for encoding an already compressed divx file.


If original source is very blocky and noisy then it can happen. As I said in the first post - atm no denoising is applied for AVI input.
What do you use for decoding divx3 content? You can try using ffdshow and its filters to denoise/deblock the source. Since AutoGK uses dshow input all settings for playback are applied before encoding in the application.

So far it should fix all the issues reported here. Please have a go with it.

[musicnyman]

first, i upgraded to the lastest beta version before i tried this again, even though i know nothing was changed for my problem..

i tried enconding a xvid file instead of divx and just goes in a loop.

len0x, i don't know how to change to ffdshow like you said... i'll look around on the forums, but if you could let me know, i'd appreciate it and i'll try it out.

opened the divx 3 file in gspot and it tells me it's using the divx decoer filter to decode the file...

lol This is a fantastic log! Its not looping in a sense that it has repeated values. So AutoGK does nothing wrong - its just trying to make a good quality encode. Unfortunately as resolution is changing drasticly compressibility is chaning in non linear was that current AutoGK mechanism cannot deal with. Basically

- you probably have very blocky/noisy source = low compresibility
- when heavily reducing resolution compressibility raises in non-linear way because blocks are removed by resizing algorithm (and details in general)
- when heavily increasing resolution compressibility drops in non-linear way again (and block appear back)

So nothing can be done by AutoGK here (at least I can't think of anything I can do inside to tweak this). Suggestions would be:

- increase target size
- use fixed width (~ 384)
- use ffdshow's denoising/deblocking filters (I personally never used them so I can't help you).

P.S. if you're using DivX filter then try to experiment with decodec settings (i.e. turn post processing to FULL and switch off FILM effect)

That is the problem. Does Gspot shows correct length of input AVI? Also take command line utility MediaInfo.exe from tools dir of AutoGK and see which duration does it show?

[Cocophone]

GSpot had the runtime as a "?" It also said the file had a corrupt avi header. I captured the file using virtualdub with the huffy codec and then edited it and resaved it in virtualdub with huffy codec.

I tried converting the avi file to mpeg using ulead media studio and then I ran that mpeg file thru AutoGk to convert to divx. AutoGk output 2 files. One named "filename.avi" and one named "filename.divx" The filename.avi was 716,304kb and created at 1:43pm. The filename.divx was 716,296kb and created at 1:45pm

I have used previous versions of AutoGK to convert the mpeg file to divx and it only created one output file.

Thanks for the help.

I can verify this. As of 2.0, using AutoGK (whether to convert a correctly ripped DVD to avi, or to convert an avi to another format avi) results in the creation of 2 identically named files; one an avi, and the other a divx. I can post logs if desired.

I have the same problem, capture of TV-material on DV (Sony-DV Codec). The conversion stops after first pass, length is recognized incorrect (should be 1:28:43, not 9mn 31s). Source Size is 18,4GB. Maybe this is the problem as the Huffmann Codec also produces big filesizes, which might be a problem for AGK?

GSpot 252b1 shows the correct length (old stable version didn't)
MediaInfo 0512 doesn't show correct length (shows 9:31 as AGK)

You must have selected .DIVX format? Coz AutoGK is muxing AVI into new DivX media format then. AVI file is not deleted for the time being for debug purposes.

I have a real problem here then. Atm I don't plan to write my own AVI parser, so I have to rely on MediaInfo (of if anyone knows another CLI parser) that has to give me correct length...

Just did another test, if I cut the AVI below 9:31 then AGK does correct conversion (which is not a real help ;-) ). I will look if I can find some other parser that gives correct info, and/or report this to MediaInfo...

Thanx for your effort...

This is what you get, when using ffdshow (libavcodec) for decoding huffyuv stuff.
So make sure you disable libavcodec in codecs settings before encoding with AutoGk, or you get grey hair, scurvy, etc.....

Cheers

This happened to me when selecting AVI.

[len0x]

:logfile: then

[Frisco]

Hi len0x
Thank for AutoGK

When I use File input, AutoGK don't AutoCrop, like in DVD input.

Hi Frisco


4.6 Can I manually crop video?
- Sort of. Starting with version 1.86 its possible via ".autocrop" hidden option (CTRL-F9). Just set threshold to 0 and then use "Force cropping of" option.


OK Frisco

[len0x]

as I said in the first post of this thread - autocrop is disabled for AVI input by default. YOu can set threshold back to 34 using hidden options and it'll be ok then.

[chilled]

about the mp3 reencoding feature request, maybe you could make it reencode if the user selects (in advanced mp3 tab) less bitrate than the source has, keeping it as is if user selected same or higher bitrate than the original. If you think this can be a bit confusing you can introduce a typical "keep original audio" tick button...

[Taurus]

FFDShow terribly burks encoding with AutoGk on my side.
x264, divx3, huffyuv all got messed up with ffdshow enabled.

Xvid works fine with ffdshow enabled. I guess Divx5 too, couldn't test it, no clip available.

For h.264 (x264)the nero decoder works fine, but no sound cos of missing aac decoding.
Divx3 working with it's own decoder and divx5.2, but image vertically flipped. Sound (mp3)ok.
huffyuv ok with systems decoder: AviDecompressor(HFYU) and color space converter.
So make sure ffdshow is disabled for the mentioned Codecs and make sure processing for raw video is disabled too.
Otherwise you will see the warning I posted a few posts above.

Cheers

Taurus
P.S.: Latest FFDShow, tested on two machines.
Installing, uninstalling did not change anything.

So many Codecs, all in the Avi Container, brrrr..
@ len0x, I wish you a golden hand, and maybe mpeg-1 would be a lot easyer to handle...;) :D

Analyzing stage is taking forever(longer as encoding to Xvid) on some Divx3 and H264 clips.

[Cocophone]

len0x,

I'm having the problem with the time length of my avi file.

Ok... I downloaded and installed 2.01 Here's the error message I get. Also, I select 700mb file size and the divx file ended up only 1,988 kb. My source file is 43mn and 19 sec in duration. Not 3mn 26s

Gspot tells me I have a corrupt header and shows the wrong time length for the avi file. I read elsewhere that GSpot sometime incorrectly does this.

Would it have anything to do with the size of my avi source file? Its usually between 28GB and 32GB and is usually about 42 minutes long.

[len0x]

We already established that tools that are used to detect that have bugs (yes, it can be size problem indeed) - I have very small chance of parsing AVI correctly myself since tools that are meant to do only that are failing.

[forsakenlad]

Hey len0x, Just curios. Can AutoGK AVI Input currently process Vfapi Frameserver AVI's? I am at school now, I will check it when I come home and give a detailed report here...

[forsakenlad]

Let me answer my own question, using Vfapi Converter and a basic avs script I was able to convert high-definiton(wmv) video with AutoGK! Thank you for the great tool, I think these new features will be very useful for newbies in the future... :)

[len0x]

Can those having problems with duration detection download a utility called AVIMaster from here (http://www.thozie.de/avimaster) and post here parsing log produced by it (only header though, i.e. info about "AVI Header List" and "AVI Stream List #1")

P.S. use command line like this: "AVIMaster.exe aviname.avi > output.txt"

Still seems to show wrong length in "'avih' (56): AVI Main Header", but gives correct length in "'strh' (56): AVI StreamHeader":

We're getting somewhere! If everyone else that has this issue can confirm that stream info always has correct length (as opposed to AVI header) then I know how to fix that in MediaInfo sources. Unfortunately I only have lib sources and not CLI, so I would have to contact the author (who can benefit from my patch anyway).

Yeah, but the only result I want at this point is a proof that stream info always contains correct length, that's it. I already hacked mediainfo to produce desired info.

[woah!]

i have an avi which gives this error in the GK log:

Warning! Found different number of frames: 31404

but the end result seems to be playing ok.

Tried another "big" (in terms of AVI-size) DV-AVI (this time encoded from MPEG DVB-S Stream with Panasonic DV-Codec). AGK and Media Info show wrong length, AVI-Master gives correct length in AVI StreamHeader.

[Edit] same with a "big" fresh encoded Huffyuv-AVI, AVI StreamHeader is correct, AVI Main Header is wrong...

Conclusion of tests so far:
- Xvids produced from DVD source in Autogk report right in avimaster.
- Xvids produced from mjpeg captures in VDub report right.
- Mjpeg captures (picvideo)(which I'd like to encode in AGK) report wrong.
- Captures straight to Xvid report wrong.

==========================
Test One:
E:\Movie - Broken Journey.avi
**File is Xvid produced in VirtualDub from mgpeg capture**

-> Length: 1:25:13:17 (25.00 fps, PAL)
AVI StreamHeader
-> Length: 1:25:13:10807 (16000.00 fps)
======================================
Test Two:
E:\Movie - Chariots of Fire.avi
**File is Xvid produced with AutoGK from DVD**
AVI Header List
-> Length: 1:58:07:05 (25.00 fps, PAL)
AVI StreamHeader
-> Length: 1:58:41:07 (25.00 fps, PAL)

Test Three
E:\Movie - El Dorado.avi
**File is Xvid produced with AutoGK from DVD**
AVI Header List
-> Length: 2:01:17:14 (25.00 fps, PAL)
AVI StreamHeader
-> Length: 2:01:17:14 (25.00 fps, PAL)
======================================
Test Four

AVI Header List
-> Length: 0:13:58:05 (25.00 fps, PAL)

-> Length: 1:33:02:14 (25.00 fps, PAL)
***Very Wrong***
======================================
Test Five
E:\Movie - Sub Down (TV).avi
**File is an analogue capture captured straight to Xvid **
AVI Header List
-> Length: 1:08:48:05 (25.00 fps, PAL)

Check out new 2.02 version that should solve duration problems.

[grindlestone]

OK, just tested it on a 65 min avi. Worked great! I'll try some other stuff overnight tonight.

Thanks!

18.4GB DV AVI (1h:28m) converted ok now. Thanx len0x :)

Try converting audio manually via LAME and see what the error is.

[Cocophone]

I used Virtualdub to save as a wav and then use this command with lame:

lame --abr 192 d:\leftofdial.wav and d:\leftofdial.mp3

Lame encode the file without any errors.

I'm going to try again with Autogk

thanks for the help

[len0x]

try this options (that AutoGK is using): -h --alt-preset 192

[Cocophone]

It was successful using lame -h --alt-preset 192

here's the output, and the mp3 audio plays using zoom player

I'm trying running the file through autogk again.

Its still running, but I looked at the log and it has a file size for the audio approx. the same size as the audio file I created manually. I have to go back to work, but I think Autogk will work this time.

[Mtz]

Hi Len0x!
Some time ago I ripped a dvd with AutoGK. I don't remember what version I used. I have 3 standalones with DivX support and chipset MTK. In every player the movies (3 movies) played with big macroblocks.
This is the info for one of them:

Packed bitstream: No
QPel: No
GMC: No
Interlaced: No

As you can see, AutoGK used some custom matrice. I supposed that was the reason that my players didn't play OK.

Tonight I reencoded the movie (Avi input) and this is the info:

Packed bitstream: Yes
QPel: No
GMC: No
Interlaced: No
Aspect ratio: Square pixels
Quant type: H.263

I-VOPs: 1294 (0,79%)

As you know, the Packed Bistream is not supported for most of players.
I used the latest XviD codec.

@Mtz ..a little offtopic:
You can disable packed bitstream with the MPEG4 Modifier v1.3.2 without re-encoding. But maybe you know this already ;)
Download:http://www.moitah.net/download/latest/MPEG4Modifier.zip
Latest XVid Codec: Beta or Stable Version?

Edit: The Matrix you used was the eqm_v2.matrix.
I don't think the blockiness is because of this matrix.
I've done many encodes with this matrix, no sign of blocks at reasonable bitrate.
And reencoding a blocky encode will only give you more blocks and bad quality.....

AutoGK does NOT use packed bitstream setting. However if you use latest XviD 1.1 (that you should not be using anyway) then DXN HT profile might turn this automatically on (as according to DXN certification only packed bitstream is supported by the hardware) Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I captured several video files from my DV camera and successfully converted them to xvid. But I got stuck with one of them - for some reason AutoGK tries to open it (on second phase, I think) as a mpeg2 file - using Mpeg2Source() instead of DirectShowSource(). I tried to cut a one minute clip from that file - the convertion went fine. Now what do I do?

Well, you're not supposed to have hybrid AVI input, so obviously that part was not tuned for AVIs. You have to enable "force deinterlace for hybrid sources" in hidden options for the time being.

The packed bistream from XviD is (was) not supported by the most standalone DivX players with MTK chipset. Only 2 or 3 players support Packed Bistream and because of this many users need to remove packed bistream using Mpeg 4 modifier as said Taurus. Let's say that is simple to remove it.
But if the movie is with Qpel and GMC (more than 1 warp) the movie must to be reencoded to play OK in this players. Because of your AutoGK, now is simple for that users who want to reencode the movies. But, the output must to be OK for their standalones.

The latest test made with the latest 2.05b beta show to me that again AutoGK used an custom matrix:

Packed bitstream: No

The same movie with same settings but with AutoGK 2.02b gave me this file:

Two things:
- have you actually tried encodings of XviD 1.1 beta 2 with DXN HT profile on such players? DXN was working with XviD guys to specifically design those so that its hardware compatible.
- DXN profiles are only used with "bitrate spike control" option enabled, so without it packed stream should not be enabled as AutoGK never sets that option on explicitely.

Even in XviD the Packed Bistream is present, there was no problems in my player. But I think is not OK the output to contain Packed Bistream because this will confuse people. Many of them before burning CD are removing the Packed Bistream

I think the problem in AutoGK is the Custom Matrix.

Why? Custom matrixes are not supported only by ESS chipset, that why you have an option to turn them off.

[Mtz]

In the latest XviD codec I pressed first "Default settings". Than I choosed DXN-HT profile. After that I unchecked the "Packed Bistream" option. When analizing the output with Gspot and Mpeg4 Modifier, both of them reported "Packed Bistream". But this file played OK in my DivX player.

The test reported in my previous post was made in only one DivX player (which is good for me) and the movie encoded with AutoGK gave me that ugly picture.
If you want I can test the same files in other 6 standalone divx players. But I think many people have players like mine.

[len0x]

What is your player?
Have you tried encoding with ESS option on?

[Cocophone]

I wanted to make sure I fully understood the process of what AutoGk is doing in the AVI input.

I'm recording the TV program on to my Dish Network PVR. If I want to save the TV show I play the TV show on the PVR capturing in my computer using a happauge capture card using the huffy codec to avi. Then using virtualdub I edit out the commercials. I then save the edited file using direct stream for video and audio. I load the file into AutoGk and it analyses the file and says its progressive.

When I look at the edited file in virtualdub it looks interlaced to me. I see combing.

I'm using AutoGk to convert to divx. Do I need to overide a setting to make AutoGk think the file is interlaced. Or am I worrying about something I should not be worrying about because I'm clueless. :)

I have this players (all with MTK chipset):
E-Boda 555 (Standard)
E-Boda 555 Ver310FE
E-Boda 555 Ver310FE-CE
Silva Schneider 404
Silva Schneider 735
Elite PV 371X

With ESS option on (I reinstalled AutoGK 2.05b) the info is:

Packed bitstream: No
QPel: No
GMC: No
Interlaced: No
Aspect ratio: Square pixels
Quant type: H.263

I-VOPs: 48 (0,79%)
P-VOPs: 6046 (99,21%)
B-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)
S-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)
N-VOPs: 0 (0,00%)

I think to add in AutoGK installer also the MTK support, or more simple "Support for Standalone DivX Players"

To be honest its the first time I see a report that custom matrixes used by AutoGK cannot be played properly with player on MTK chipset. Can you try encoding with 1.95 and xvid 1.0.3 without ESS support?

P.S. please don't post info about avi files - its useless to me. Just mention if its working ok in your player or not.

It doesn't seem to be interlaced. Can you post a screenshot from vdubmod where you see combing?

[Cocophone]

This is what I think is interlaced

[len0x]

I does look interlaced indeed. I will need a small sample of such AVI to examine it close (probably combing threshold detection needs to be tweaked). Can you make it avialable for me, please?

To be honest its the first time I see a report that custom matrixes used by AutoGK cannot be played properly with player on MTK chipset. Can you try encoding with 1.95 and xvid 1.0.3 without ESS support?

P.S. please don't post info about avi files - its useless to me. Just mention if its working ok in your player or not.

Output by AutoGK 1.95 and xvid 1.0.3 without ESS support played OK in my player.

enjoy,

[len0x]

Its XviD 1.1 beta 2 problem then, coz I didn't change XviD settings in AutoGK (I know that beta 2 doesn't signal ASP, but just simple profile and it was fixed in CVS few days after - may be that's the problem - you can try latest celtic_druid build with latest AutoGK).

[bourtzovlakas]

No problem here, with playing 2.05 beta encodes, in my Philips DVP-720SA(MTK-1389EE)...
Using Xvid, neither ESS compatibility or bitrate spikes control option are enabled...

[len0x]

The problem may only arise when "bitrate spike control" option is used without ESS option (i.e. DXN HT profile with custom matrixes). In all other cases there shouldn't be any problems.

What do you use for decoding huffman codec? On my system its ffdshow. (you can check with GSpot).

[Cocophone]

Gspot says:

The following codec should be capable of processing this format:

--> {Huffyuv v2.1.1}

DirectShow is apparently able to play the file as well (see "DirectShow Render", below),



I switched it to ffdshow and it says interlaced.... I will try with the longer file.


What setting do I need to use if I would like AutoGk to deinterlace it and save it to avi using divx codec?

Thanks

[len0x]

Deinterlace is done automatically by AutoGK if the source is found interlaced. You can't force it.

[len0x]

You can try version 2.06 now that includes newer XviD build.

I didn't see you waiting enough for it though...
As usual its worth checking what your're using for decoding of mjpeg (and try different decoder). As for mp3 check manual conversion with lame to see if there is any problems.

Looks like encoding crashed during first pass, so bitrate for the second pass was raised and that caused oversize.

[Cocophone]

I reran the file through AutoGk. This time I force interlace on hybrid. Also I noticed that before the "correct color if needed" was checked. I cleared that checkbox. The completed file is now the correct size 700mb.

The encoded file with AutoGK 2.06b played OK in my players even if Gspot and Mpeg4 modifier reported Packed Bistream. :confused:

Same here. I have a Pioneer dv-575 which has the MediaTek 1389EE chip. I'm 100% sure this chip doesn't allow xvid + packed bitstream. So i have been using MPEG4Modifier to remove packet bitstream in xvids, in order to get the files play correct.

Now, encoding with AutoGK, MPEG4Modifier reports all files containing "packed bistream", but they play OK.

This is really odd.

[nixo]

My 1389EE based player (Yamakawa 335) doesn't have any problems with packed bitstream in xvid as long as only 1 consecutive b-frame is used. If I use more than 1 the picture starts to stutter. AGK only uses 1, so maybe that's the explanation why PB suddenly works for you...?

[len0x]

Explanation is simple:

- divx only produces packed bitstream therefore divx certified devices are obliged to support it
- XviD 1.1 beta 2 is the _first_ version of XviD with proper support for DXN profiles
- DXN profiles are desighed for hardware devices

do the math...

[len0x]

I see that fps for FILM hybrid sources is calculated incorrectly for AVI input sources (it should be 24 while it is shown as 30). Its a bug.

[Cocophone]

I captured the tv show with virtualdub (don't remember if any settings would have effected fps). I then edited out commercials and then saved it as an avi (huffy codec) with the virtualdub settings of direct stream copy for video and audio.

[len0x]

Nothing wrong with your file. Its just a bug.

[Cocophone]

is there something I could do as a work around?

[len0x]

not unless you force deinterlacing for hybrid sources in which case you'd be wasting 20% of bitrate plus probably get shuttering video.

May be your capture has dropped frames that result in asynch. I dunno how to correct that.

[Exoskeletor]

maybe autogk will have the ability to check all the frames of an avi files to find droped frames and inform the user about it (in order to re-encode his video with a program that sychronize the video with the audio)

[Cocophone]

I have maybe 2 or 3 dropped frames during capture.

When I play the original avi file the audio is in sync.

Also, if I first convert the file to a mpeg format and then run it through AutoGk then the audio stays in sync.

Its impossible as frames are dropped during capture...

this would lead to 80-120ms delay (PAL), not half a second in your case...

Originally posted by Cocophone

video is repaired then... Good thing to check is length of audio and video and see if they are the same.

[Cocophone]

I checked the length of the capture avi I'm trying to run through AutoGK. The audio and video show the same length 1:24:35.25 when I open it in Virtualdubmod. The codec used is Huffy.

The capture avi has been edited for commercials in virtualdub. I then saved the avi using direct stream copy for both audio and video.

When I watch the avi using Zoom Player the audio stays in sync even when I skip forward to the end. After I have run the file through AutoGk (using divx) then watch it using Zoom Player and skip towards the end of the file the audio is out of sync towards the end of the file. The divx file starts with the audio in sync.

I don't understand why the capture avi stays in sync, but the AutoGk divx file gets out of sync towards the end of the file.

When I do the same process for shorter files (about 40 minutes in length) the audio stays in sync for AutoGk divx.

[Exoskeletor]

where do you test the files and you find that there are out of sync? on your pc or in a standalone dvd player?

[Cocophone]

on my pc using zoom player.

I haven't watched the file in real time.

But if I skip foward with the divx file the audio is out of sync (audio is behind the video).

If I do the same with the original file (huffy codec) the audio stays in sync when I skip forward in zoom player.

[Cocophone]

I recompressed the file in virtualdub and then thru autogk and the audio seems in sync.

It's weird, that when I edited the file in virtualdub and saved it using direct stream copy for audio and video the audio was in sync in the avi file, but after running thru autogk the divx went out of sync toward the end of the file.

[Hobojobo]

@lenox

Is it possible to implement an only_audio_transcoding_option.
I don't want to touch the video and only want to transcode ac3 to mp3 in quite a few avi clips.

Would that be possible?

[len0x]

it is kinda out of the scope of AutoGK atm as it always processes video...

[Hobojobo]

Yep, I see your point.
Feel free to extend the scope, when all improvements are done. ;)

Thank you for your answer.

[CHerron]

for some reason no matter what avi file i choose as input autogk will demux the audio but never encode it

help plz...

its a feature - AutoGK is not able to reencode mp3 audio atm...

[Azik]

ver 1.23b doesn't recognise my DV-files recorded with Panasonic camera and captured by Ulead software. it show 0 frames at 0 fps.

any ideas?
thanks and ... great program!

[len0x]

The problem was that AVI file was DV type 1, so once you switched to type 2 the problem's gone away, right?

[len0x]

from log file it seems that encoding crashes. which dshow filter is being used for decoding of DV material? (check via GSpot)

[Mtz]

Hi len0x !
Request: Can you put in Hidden Options: "Keep Interlaced"?
Reason: input source miniDV. Output for standalone players.

enjoy,
Mtz

[len0x]

its hardly a useful feature
