View Full Version : Seperate Problems, Seperate Videos -- HD to Xvid

Ok, first problem. I went to convert a 14g HD .TS to 4.4g Xvid. Audio comes through fine, video looks great, EXCEPT periodiocally there are graphical glitches which I can only describe as LARGE corrupted pixels. These are hard coded as I can play the same scene over and over and they showup in the same place, everytime. This has only happened on one video out of 4 or 5, so I do not expect much help from it -- perhaps its the original (though playing the original shows no errors). The attached log for this issue is called: bad_pixels_video.txt


The second problem has happened in a few movies and is a simple one to describe: same scenerio, HD .TS (large, 10g+) going to 4480b sized Xvid, except now the audio does not work properly. I chose to maintain the original AC3/DTS stream, and these sources come with a 5.1 DD. The result is a an audio stream that has many breaks in it, crackles, pops, lots of pauses inbetween it. Still DD 5.1, but unable to understand any dialog or music. The attached log file for this is called bad_audio.txt

I am a complete freshman at this, so please forgive me if my etiquette is wrong, but I am beginning to get frustrated with the fact that after a week+ of conversions I dont have a single valid video to show for it.

Thank you.

edit: let me add that I am using the new recent beta available -- should I down grade to a "Stable" version?

edit#2: I just noticed that for films that get bad audio, DGIndex thinks they are DD 2/0 versus 3/2 (when it runs after you hit Start). Not sure if that helps anyone.

DGMPGDec that is used by AutoGK for TS decoding is not a fault tolerant tool, so it is recommended to process your TS using tools like ProjectX before feeding into AutoGK.

I have tried to process them in ProjectX, but after they go through projectX, AGK fails and says "no audio found".

The only "guide" for projectX barely outlines procedure, and instead describes what each setting does. I am a novice and it does not help me.

Can you make suggestions to how I properly "process" a .TS in ProjectX?

Update:

I have finally figured out why my audio was never coming through.

Some of these HD .TS streams start off in 2/0 audio (perhaps as a splash screen shows up for advertisement). Once the movie begins, the audio switches to 3/2. I didnt notice this until i watched an original on my home theater and saw my receiver switch formats.

At this point all was needed was for me to crop the beginning crap off the movie to a point where 3/2 audio had been established.

Some step couldnt handle the multiple audio streams, but this fixed it!
