View Full Version : Rebuilder's Matrix Editor v0.1.8
Rockas
24th March 2005, 00:07
Hi there!!!
First of all… as usuall… forgive my English (I’m portuguese :))
Finally I decided to publish the first public release of Rebuilder’s Matrix Editor.
The program is quite simple and I think that you won’t have any problem working with it.
Just extract the ZIP file into you Rebuilder’s folder. I will have something like:
Drive:\xxxxxxx\Rebuilder Folder\MatrixEditor
You may extract the files into some other place but be sure that you point the path to Rebuilder’s Matrix folder when asked to.
The objective of this program is to allow users to create their own matrices or edit the ones that the Editor has by default as well as get some information about the existing matrices.
When you create one “custom” Matrix it will be putted into Rebuilder’s Matrix folder allowing you to use it inside Rebuilder (I’m talking about the PRO versions here… if you don’t have it… donate :)).
Anyway… as I said I think this program is quite simple so I won’t explain how it works… it’s a surprise :)
So… if you have any trouble or find any bug or even suggest any improvement just submit it on this thread.

Version 0.1.6
Changelog:
* Now it can import Matrices from .txt files (as long as the files have spaces between the values and they can't have blank lines)
* New languages: German (thanks Rockby!), French (thanks SAPSTAR!) and Italian (Thanks Rebuman!)
* The Matrices' description/info are also translated.
* The custom matrices' description/info is saved - on the previous version if the user pressed the button "Restore Default Matrices" the info of the custom matrices (created by user) would be lost... not anymore - This fix is not retro-compatible, so you must save a copy of you custom descriptions so you can re-insert them after update!!!
* Fix a (stupid) error - after creating or editing a Matrix it could only be saved once from the editing/creating dialog - my thanks to Rockby to point this out.
* Added a button on Languages dialog with the name "Update Languages" - that's what it does and you must click it to have access to the new languages.
* Dragongodz's "QuEnc Lower Bitrate (QLB)" has been updated to version 1.2 - you must click "Restore Default Matrices" under setup window... just don't forget what I said before about the custom matrices' Info.
****************
** 22/04/2005 **
****************
Version 0.1.7
Changelog:
* Now it can import Matrices from .txt files using "blank spaces", "semicolon" or "comma" separators and it can have blank lines.
* I've included a new matrix made by our friend Rebuman.
* A cosmetical change (Blue style was completly modified).
* I've inserted a code on Setup window to automatically update the Scroll bars that controls the colors... now when you click on the "color squares", the slide bars will "jump" to the correct values to assume the selected color.
I think that's all :)
****************
** 17/06/2005 **
****************
Version 0.1.8
Changelog:
* Now it can import Matrices from .CQM and .XCM files (my thanks to jdobbs that gave me a big help on this).
* A cosmetical change (Blue style was completly modified... the previous one is now the Default).
* It contains the updated (by jdobbs) Matrices.
I think that's all :)

I approved it, but I immediatly got an error message when trying to launch it.
"Could not Create Destination Folder"
OK
"Runtime Error '76':
Path not found"
OK
program closes.
I extracted just the .exe to the root of my F: drive.
EDIT: D'oh, teachs me to follow directions. Extracting it to my dvd-rb folder eliminates this error, but I still get the 76 error if I don't set the path to a matrix folder and cancel the program.

24th March 2005, 00:37
Have you pointed it to the "Rebuilder's Matrix folder" when asked to?
edit: I can fix that error but if you don't point the path to rebuilder's matrix folder... you won't be able to use the matrices you create and/or edit inside Rebuilder unless you mannualy copy it into that folder.

24th March 2005, 00:43
It's working now. Still you might want to put a check in to avoid those runtime errors if it isn't in the right place and tell the user where to place the file.
When I ran it from the root of F: I never received any prompts or windows, just the "Can not Create Destination Folder" immediatly after launch.

The error messages look fine, but there is some other problem. With everything setup it isn't running at all. I double click the .exe and it doesn't do anything. The process shows up on my task list for a second and then closes. There are no error messages or windows at all.
I tried replacing the old .exe (which was working) and it didn't work. If I start out fresh the program closes immediately after I (a) select the Matrix directory and click apply, or (b) click cancel and then click OK to the error message that states a Matrix directory will be created.

When using custom matrices from other points of the net, eg. Soulhunters or Sharktooth files i get a runtime-error 62.
Seems a problem with missing comments in files.
An autoconvert would be nice.

I've finished the german translation. In the Zip-File you'll find the Matrix_editor.ini and a little update of the Language file.
And there is a litte bug. If I edited a Matrix and then pressed the save Button it will be disabled. If I then change some details, before I closed the Matrix editor I can't save it again.

Are these matrixes used by cce? or by any encoder used?
i ask this because i already have special matrixes in the registry for cce (you can use them from within cce)...not sure if they conflict.

D.
DVD-Rebuilder takes care of that, it can be used with CCE, HC and QuEnc, there is no conflict inside CCE, as the index used is -1 which means custom matrix, the name of the matrix is not passed to CCE.

A suggestion and a question.
First could you, in the "Matrices' Description" area of the Installer,
give an approximate number for the Extra Low/ Low / Medium / etc. Matrices.
For example, the "BACH1 by DDogg matrix is used for ultra low bitrate of AROUND 1000. (This is helpful in knowing to use around 1000 bitrate).
I know the title of the Matrix gives some indication for it's use.
Still, it would be helpful IMO if there was an approximate bitrate suggested for each Matrix. What may be considered "Very Low" by me may be considered just "Low" by someone else.
Second, I like the BDVD matrix but it is not DVD compliant and the resulting DVD will not play on one of my standalone DVD players. What in your, (or anyone who cares to make a suggestion) opinion is a comparable Matrix?
I am using it on the "Aviator" and it gives good results.
BTW in doing a search for "Matrix" I keep getting loads of crap on the
movie of the same name.
Regards:)
P.S. I am using DVD-RB v.93.0.2 and I download the Matrix Editor separately.

Still, it would be helpful IMO if there was an approximate bitrate suggested for each Matrix. What may be considered "Very Low" by me may be considered just "Low" by someone else.
Well... to be truth with you I rarely use Matrices (usually I stick to the default) and I never tested them all, so I really can't tell you what will be best to the bitrate X and what will be good to a bitrate of Y but... If someone has some info about this I will gladly add it to the Info.
Second, I like the BDVD matrix but it is not DVD compliant and the resulting DVD will not play on one of my standalone DVD players. What in your, (or anyone who cares to make a suggestion) opinion is a comparable Matrix?
I don't think I fully understand you question (yea... sometimes my english stinks lol) but If you want to make that Matrix full compatible... you an always edit it and change the first Intra value to an 8 (16 -> 8) and save it with another name... then you can run some tests.
feedback
30th May 2005, 04:06
you can always edit it and change the first Intra value to an 8 (16 -> 8) and save it
I have done as you suggested, and edited the BDVD matrix.
I am running DVD-RB with the edited matrix. I will check it tomorrow
when it is finished. It usually takes about 5 hours to finish.
I will post if it works on all my standalone DVD players, which was my original problem.
The Aviator is a long movie 170 minutes, movie only. Typical bitrate
is approx. 3182Kbs. So the BDVD matrix really made a difference in the apparent quality.

P.S. Your english is fine.
feedback
30th May 2005, 19:25
Well the resulting DVD, after editing the BDVD matrix, still does not work in one of my standalone DVD players. I used the HC encoder. BTW I don't think it would make any difference with QuEnc.
I used the DEFAULT matrix and encoded again with HC at dc 10 and, of course, it works fine.
In the info. with the BDVD matrix it does say it may not work with some standalones. So, I was alerted to the potential problem.
Just thought that it might work with the change Rockas suggested.
@borgraf
In response to your PM:
Go here http://dvd-rb.dvd2go.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=24
and download the Rockas Rebuilder Matrix Editor. It contains the BDVD matrix among others. Just be warned that it may not work on some standalone DVD players.

Rockas
30th May 2005, 19:58
Well it is supposed to work... as far as I know the only invalid entry is the 16 as first Intra value but I'm not a matrix expert... maybe there's someone out there that can clarify this issue.
Have you tested with CCE? The matrix was made for CCE maybe HC doesn't "interpretate" it the same way!?!?!? Just a thought... as I said, I'm not a Matrix Expert... I just made the "Editor" :)
borgraf
30th May 2005, 20:53
thanks feedback, I had trouble getting it running that's why I asked. Looks like I dropped it in a wrong folder but it's working now.. so :thanks: also to Rockas for the matrix editor. I'll make a copy of BDVD with the 8 value and test them both :)
feedback
31st May 2005, 00:02
Have you tested with CCE? The matrix was made for CCE maybe HC doesn't "interpretate" it the same way!?
I don't use CCE. I tried the trial version 2.70 and found it no better in terms of quality than QuEnc or HC IMHO. So, I save the money and donate to jdobbs instead and get the PRO version of Rebuilder. ;)
CCE's speed, however was faster. But that is no concern to me as I usually run DVD-RB overnite. Still, with the free encoders it usually only takes about 5 hours to complete a project and that's with a 2.4GHz Celeron processor.
One thing about CCE I didn't like was it's use of memory. That app. is a hog. I have one Gig of memory and that bugger was using most of it. :scared:

31st May 2005, 00:08
Well... but I think that you could at least use it with QuEnc... I know that the Brazilian Team likes FreeEnc very much... so it may give you different results :D

Well I have Rebuilder PRO v.93.2 setup with QuEnc high quality, scene detection and the edited BDVD matrix.

Hi-
I have one Gig of memory and that bugger was using most of it.
That sounds very strange to me. I've been running a very slow script all day (.21 RT) with CCE 2.70, although not through DVD-RB, and I'm using only 300,000K of memory, which is a bit more than it usually uses.

I know the title of the Matrix gives some indication for it's use.
Still, it would be helpful IMO if there was an approximate bitrate suggested for each Matrix. What may be considered "Very Low" by me may be considered just "Low" by someone else.
Well..well...the eternal question, in fact there is no perfect matrix...it's a matter of taste, some people prefer blurred pictures...others very sharp one...The used matrix may change that aspect...I could give you one of the general rule (for reg movies not animations) I'm using when not using QMatOp ;) : For bitrates higher than 3000 I like HVS Good picture, between 2000-3000 AVAMAT6, between 1000-2000 QLB and under 1000 Bach1.....but it's just a matter of taste...
Second, I like the BDVD matrix but it is not DVD compliant and the resulting DVD will not play on one of my standalone DVD players. What in your, (or anyone who cares to make a suggestion) opinion is a comparable Matrix?
As Rockas said, the only restrictions/rules on MPEG2 matrices are :
First intra coordinate must be 8
First inter coordinate must be 8, in general 16 or higher
Qcoeff can't go higher than 255, (127 with CCE)
To turn your BDVD matrix in a MPEG2 compliant I would translate it :
The amount added or removed to the first intra coeff should be added/removed to the rest of the intra matrix. Same with inter...
Otherwise give a try to QMatOp ;)

1st June 2005, 02:12
@Rockas
but I think that you could at least use it with QuEnc.
Well you were right Rockas. The edited BDVD matrix worked with QuEnc in all my standalone players. :D
The only small problem was it was a bit undersized at about 4100Mb. I can fix that in the Rebuilder .ini with a larger QuEncTargetSectors=xxxxxxx size.
Thanks for suggesting that I go ahead and try QuEnc.
Wonder why it won't work with HC!?!?
@manono
although not through DVD-RB, and I'm using only 300,000K of memory, which is a bit more than it usually uses.
I saw jdobbs, in another post somewhere, indicate that CCE used a large part of memory, no matter how much memory that was available , ex. maybe 70% of 512MB or 70% of 1GB. (Not exactly 70%, just a large part of what you have). And it did use a Large part of my memory, using it with DVD-RB.
@SAPSTAR
For bitrates higher than 3000 I like HVS Good picture, between 2000-3000 AVAMAT6, between 1000-2000 QLB and under 1000 Bach1.....but it's just a matter of taste...
QLB and Bach1 are in the Rockas Rebuilder Matrix Editor.
Where can I find HVS Good picture and AVAMAT6? Also, are they standalone compatible? Still, when I have the time I am going to check out QMatOp.
BTW I am starting to like to play with the different Matrices.
But it is like ice cream, there are so many flavors ....err...types of Matrices to try.:)
Thanks all,:)
feedback
1st June 2005, 03:12
I had another thought on the subject.
I wonder if Rockas would be interested in putting "HVS Good picture and AVAMAT6 Matrix" in the next version of the Rockas Rebuilder Matrix Editor". :D
As a matter of fact, maybe he would be interested in people posting their most favorite Matrix.:)
And a little information about the Matrix and why they like it.

I would also love to get my hand on these other Matrixs. I do have a file called AVAMAT6.cqm but I see rebuilder uses the mtx extension for the matrix, so I don't know if I can convert it or what. Thanks for any help.

Yeah, but I also have 1 GB of memory. Sorry, I guess I should have mentioned that. I'll pay attention the next time I do a DVD-RB backup to see if it increases much above 300,000K. Don't know why it would, though.

P.S. Maybe add .XCM file direct import also:)
edit: added PS
Well... I think I can add it to the "todo" list :)
Just wait for the Rebuilder v1.0... I'm occupied with the "help" file so my free time ain't much at this point :(

I wouldn't call it a bug, still, when you go to the Quantization matrices in DVD-RB
then move over to the Main feature Matrix then slide down to "low bit matrix" then "very low bit matrix" there is a flash as if something is trying to open. It occurs in the matrix viewing window list. (I have about 40 Matrices in it)
Never saw that before, doesn't seem to affect anything just kind of wierd.
I rebuilt several short movies with, mainly the Matrices I recently imported with Matrix Editor version 0.1.8 still no problem.
Lastly, People should know that the Intra value should start at 8 and the Inter value should be 16 or higher. Of the two Inter has more impact on you video, so it seems. This advice is for using your mpeg2 in a standalone player.
Sharktooth is the Xvid forum gives some good advice about using a Matrix and standalone compatibility.
Comments?

One thing I didn't understand... the "anomaly" you're reporting... is it on Rebuilder or on the Editor?

It's in DVD-RB Pro v.0.93.2
In the window that lists all the Matrices from which to choose.

@Rockas
Thanks for your work, the import function works very well! :)
But I do have some cosmetic problems under Windows 2k SP4, some of the buttons are without inscription.

Another reason to use Firefox! ;)

Sorry, can't see "Update Languages". :D
By the way, I've changed my post before.
Edit: Okay, thanks for the advice. :) I've clicked on the white button above "OK" in the "Languages" dialog chose german and everything's fine now. :cool:

Absolutely! The only thing I've done was to replace the old MatrixEditor.exe in D:\Programme\DVDRebuilder\MatrixEditor folder with the new version 0.1.8.
But don't care about it, everything is working fine now. :)

Well I found a Matrix Thread Here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=75828) that some may find interesting.
My opinion is that Jawor's could be quite good for TV captures (more noise in the source) whereas the notch matrix would suit DVD sources (usually clean sources) better.
Well I am continuing to use Bach as it does less damage to the encode than Notch, IMO. Also using Bach results in a smaller file size and better Q within a given filesize. As always, I caveat the comments with the fact that my viewing method is an older 32 inch JVC.
The problem with this kind of info. on matrices is that it is scattered all over doom9. I wish we had a more central location/sticky for this kind of info. but since we don't I guess we'll just have to link them together for everyone to see.
Regards,:)
P.S. I saw that Rockas is working on an new release of the Rebuilder's Matrix Editor.
BTW Rockas, I saw the discussion you had with apfRAaTs ;)
