Bad idea. Remove any codec packs you are using. Just use FFDShow and Haali, that's all you need.

FYI. The more I use HDC, the more I learn. I finally was able to get an encode accomplished that I've been trying to do for about a week now. The movie is 100 Million BC. This movie is one of the few that AutoMKV could not do. It would try, but could not do the video encode. The following is what I have discovered.

AutoMKV - Failed, could not encode the video

HDC (Deint none) Would do the encode, but unsatisfactory results. Jaggies on moving objects and choppy panning.

HDC (Deint FilmNTSC) Would not encode the video

HDC (Deint Interlaced) Full encode, no jaggies, but very choppy panning

Testing the Deint showed the movie to be Telecine (This is also what AutoMKV was trying to choose)

HDC (Deint Telecine) Would not encode the video...

I finally got a perfect encode of this movie by choosing Interlaced/Telecine for Deint, which makes sense now that I understand what is happening.

Hey I'm learning..

Thanks Buzz

@ricktoo

what mean "would not encode the video" ?

do you got errors in avs ? what's happen when you open the avs script in virtualdub ?

another one try could be the "double ivtc" but you should do it only if your movie would be 23.976 fps

also.. post a report and a 50mb of sample file

gday buzz

am having a problem with a dvd im trying to convert to 264 in mkv. it crashes when trying to convert the subs.

also, i have 3 other questions.
1) when i checked this video with hdc's test interlace it said "Report: Progressive, order=1" yet you can see in the second dump below (from eac3to) that it reports the video as mpeg2, 576i50. (doesnt that mean its interlaced?)
2) i would have expected that this video would have been pal (original was bought in oz) yet there is a reference in the BDSup2Sub command line to ntsc (/res:ntsc). is this correct?
3) how do i know if hdc is picking up and then re-using the existing chapters (before i encode and find that they're missing)

here is the info from the make report

1) even if eac3to report 50i, it doesn't mean that video is interlaced. Deinterlace test should be correct
2) fixed in next update
3) sorry pal, but in your case no chapter are extracted.
Why ? you feed as input the first vob. If you use as input the vts_01_1.ifo HDC will extract and use chapters too

thanks for the quick response buzz

i will try this again later but with the ifo selected rather than the vob.
is there some way now (or could it be added) to see the chapter information? even if its not editable at least we would know for sure that hdc has recognised their existance and will incorperate them in the mkv (i have had a couple of encodes now without them)

cheers

just add the work to queue, and check if ChapterXtractor.exe is invoked
if yes, you will see in mkvmerge command the chapter muxing too

Chengbin:
Are you manually overriding your .AVS file? How did you get Lanczos4Resize?

Does HDC allow us to choose the resize filter? Is this a hidden option?

[buzzqw]

Okay, but I trust CLSID, that codec pack never caused troubles for me. I just use it so I don't have to set splitters etc. The only audio/video decoder I use is ffdshow. Can haali work for mpeg 2, h264 and divx?

Hi,

thanks for another update!

MKVExtract GUI does not extract subtitles from MKV (MKV is OK, I can work with it using MKVtoolnix). I cannot tell you any other details, because command line window closed automatically and therefore I do not see any error. EDIT: maybe you could use this: http://coreforge.org/projects/mkvextractgui/ . It works fine.

Another issue for me is, that even if this GUI would work and I could extract subtitles, I cannot mux them to output, because it is not possible to specify external subtitles for MKV to MKV conversion.

Thanks.

[buzzqw]

i have included my own version of mkvextract gui

and my own version extract subs

Yes. And since when is CLSID recommending codec packs?

[Havokdan]

Is to add the option manually or via. Ini the resize filter for all profiles? I particularly like to use the spline64resize.

[Adub]

Looks like you left out a library or two there Buzzqw.

This error appears when running mkvinfo.exe, which happens when using your mkvextract gui.

[buzzqw]

@Adub

make sure you have installed MKVToolnix

it add to path the folder where is this dll

Sorry, perhaps I made a mistake. Over on the codecgude forums (they make K lite) clsid is the admin and post changelogs, helps people etc. So I assumed he is the author, I apologize if I made a mistake.

So you think if I install ffdshow + Haali that HDC will start working on Windows 7? I have used clsids tool to switch everything to ffdshow and have verified that Media Player Classic uses ffdshow to decode the vob file.

EDIT: Installed ffdshow + Haali only and I still get the 'Please check media properties' error.
