Weird. I'm having the exact same problem as paolo, but I thought the error was due to being a tff source and not knowing the proper settings for deinterlacing it. Now that I think about it, I've had 2 DVD's that exibited this same trend. This one has the "Warner Bros" logo animation at the front, with no sound, and then the movie comes up all out of sync. The other DVD I had was the Foster Home season 2 discs (multi-episode per DVD). What it did was start the audio for the episode during the show intro, causing audio to be out of sync by exactly 59.5 seconds. I was able to manually set audio delay on my own and fix it. I didn't report it at that time because I thought it was due to a funky DVD structure, but now I'm not so sure.

Here's my make report for my latest endeavor:

maybe a bad rip ?
try ripping with latest dvdfab/anydvd

if you got the same "noise" could be a problem of decoding

try forcing dss or ffmpegsource

BHH

Do you mean I make it manually or anything else ?
Anyway I tried dss or ffmpegsource and have same problem.

Regards

[buzzqw]

open the file (not the avs) with mpc

you got the same noise ?

If NO, then the DSS should bring the same quality
If YES, update your decoder

I recently installed HDConverTox on a friend's new PC (XP partition) ... hoping to test drive a little speed.
The encode stoped after the audio encoding section.

Audio encode was fine ... Test Interlace pattern also worked fine .

Good news. With this build, I didn't have any issues checking the "Use Multithread AviSynth". For this test I encoded Gran Torino to mp4 2pass, 2channel AAC.

I'll run a test on The Game Plan as well (currently the only 2 BD discs that I have).

[Crono141]

Well, its not a bad rip. Playing the VOBs directly does not exhibit this behavior. Nor does mounting the iso (I rip DVD Decryptor in ISO mode) and playing it in MPC.

I'm attempting a conversion with Ripbot264 and seeing if it exhibits the same behavior.

Edit: Ripbot Conversion finished, and comes out perfect. Thus, I can only assume that the problem in on HDC's end, and not on my rip's end. Sorry

[buzzqw]

@Crono141

could you post the log files generated by ripbot ?
(pm me if you prefer)

I did a reencode of a 1080p movie to 720p as I did several times with AutoMKV before. As in those cases I chose a CRF of 20, but somehow the result only has a bitrate of 1900, with AutoMKV and the same CRF it used a much higher bitrate, especially in a movie like this (Iron Man).
Besides that this is a great tool, but for now I'll switch back to AutoMKV where I can estimate the results in adance. What could be the problem here?

[buzzqw]

isn't a problem, at all

automkv has a very outdated x264, hdc has a very new x264

x264.exe has changed a lot crf encoding in latest (and not so latest) builds

use the search

BHH

[CYBERSONIC]

So does that mean that with this Tool I should use a much lower CRF? As I am used from AutoMKV, also the tooltip for HDConvertToX says that 18 gives quite good results. I had in mind that values between 18 and 22 are common. But as I said, that gave me a very low bitrate (which it did not with AutoMKV). So do I have to use CRF of 10 or something like that for bitrates of about 4000-7000 (like most 720p encodes that are "available" on the internet).

Good to know man but a quick question. Are you referring Gran torino from BD source?

Can you post your sys specs and the framerate on multi thread vs single encode if you dont mind?

I started converting my BD on single thread and only getting 6fps which I gotta check with the beta version soon.

thanks

[buzzqw]

@CYBERSONIC

you should use the crf you prefer, usually 20 is enough
but if you prefere quality wise encoding feel free to use whatever crf you want

Yes, BD source for Gran Torino (I currently only own 2 BD so my tests are always run on the same sources).

AMD Phenom II X4 955BE @ 3.5GHZ
ASUS GTX260
ASUS M4N82 DELUXE NF980ASLI R
8GB OCZ Platinum PC8500 DDR2 1066MHz
Win 7 x64 Ultimate

Framerate on the Multi that I ran last night, I think was around 14 to 17fps. I'm encoding to MP4, 2pass, insane quality, 8500kbs bitrate.

If I recall, it was something like 7 to 11fps on single thread.

I'm not 100% sure on the fps, though, as I don't usually monitor it. Is there an output that tells me what it averaged?

I don't have anymore a report, sorry...
If it can help, the movie that gives me problems is "Codice Swordfish"
But I don't have problems playing vob files...
I think the problem is related to the different lenght of the vob and the avi... They differ 2 minutes, and audio could be out-of-phase of THOSE 2 minutes...
Other movies are OK, BTW ...

Thank you

Whats that? Update ist not possible!!
