Hybrid: Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Selur]

Why is it triggered on b-frames? How to disable it?

It has nothing to do with b-frames. It's triggered if you tell Hybrid to use a specific bit rate for encoding and that bit rate would result in a file size below 1 MB.

I propose to expand the viewer
If you hold click and down on the original photo, the filtered photo will be displayed (as on photo comparison sites).

Not happening, but I welcome patches for avsViewer if someone wants to implement it.
Personally I'm fine with interleaving filtered and original using 'Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Preview->SplitView Placement->interleaved'.

At the end of the video(previously gave a link to a demo), there is a display of the message output when changing the b-frame at the encoders.

Incorrect encoding progress in %.

B-frames influences the container overhead and as such influences the bit rate calculation.
Since Hybrids calculation assumes a minimum file size of 1 MB (this will not change), either:
a. do not use such short content
b. do not use such low bit rates when using such short samples
c. do not use encoding modes which use bit rates when using such short samples
d. do not use Hybrid

AOM
Incorrect encoding progress in %.

I know, it's this way for quite some time, haven't had time to look into it. (think I fixed some of it and atm. it's mainly missing a *100)

[Gravitator]

Why can't I use short videos with a transfer rate of 1 Mbit/s? Discrimination!

[Selur]

Just for clarification: Hybrid it's a restiction of the file size to 1MB not a transfer rate restriction.

Latest update seems to had broken something in NVenc X265, conversion stops after audio's and finishes the job.

[Selur]

Works fine here.
NVEncC version was updated, so you might have to update your NVIDIA drivers.
If updating the drivers doesn't help provide a debug output of the issue, maybe I can see something in the debug output.

[locotus]

NVidia runing drivers are V511.79, updated on 02/14/2022. Uninstalling and going back to the previous Hybrid version, works normally.

[Selur]

Just noticed that I broke Vapoursynth script creation during job creation. So if you used Vapoursynth tha tis probably it.
-> will release a fixed version tomorrow.

Thanks a lot.

Ps.: @locotus: If you still have issues, share a debug output.

Hello,

In Hybrid is it possible to convert only TrueHD Atmos audio track of a container file keeping all other tracks intact then mux everything back to an mkv container? I stream content to my OLED from NAS but there used to be a compatibility issue when an Atmos track exists in the container too. At the same time I would like to take the advantage of having an Atmos track, that is that I would like to encode it using Hybrid keeping most of the quality.

Thank you for the help.

[Selur]

You can specify for each track whether it should be passed through or reencoded in some way, so yes what you describe should be possible assuming you configure it manually. You can't tell Hybrid to automatically ony convert the audio streams that match a specifc format.

Small heads-up to anyone using Hybrid with svt-encoders:
I'll remove support for those encoders for the time be, since:

• encoding does not work with latest version
• looking at https://github.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-..._user_guide.md integration will have to be completely rewritten.

-> Update: I adjusted the SVT-AV1 which wasn't that much work (~10hrs) since most of the interessting stuff doesn't really work and thus doesn't need support.

Hi guys!

I recently started using Hybrid for converting some of my DVDs. Quality is really awesome! But I have a question about batch processing.

Obviously I want to use the same settings on all episodes of a tv show, so i created a profile. However I found that even with a profile I still have to manually set the following 2 settings for every single episode I want to run through Hybrid.

- Convert output to PAR: Square Pixel
- target resolution: 1024

Is there a way how I can avoid having to set these two settings for every single episode I run through hybrid?

Or is there a way how I can tell hybrid to simply process all files (episodes) inside a folder using the same settings?

Thank you!

[Selur]

regarding keeping the target resolution: enable "Crop/Resize->Misc->Misc->Keep resize for new Source"
No clue why 'Convert output to PAR' shouldn't be saved, but I'll check later.

Or is there a way how I can tell hybrid to simply process all files (episodes) inside a folder using the same settings?

Either select all the files as input or drag&drop the folder into Hybrids input line. Configure what you want, create jobs, start jobs.

Yeah these two always reset when I load a new input videofile.

Oh god I am so stupid.
I did not think that I could just select all files by holding down shift or ctrl. doh
Thanks!

[Selur]

Yeah these two always reset when I load a new input videofile.

I checked default behaviour is: reset on source change unless it's a multi-input source (DVD, Blu-ray, list of files)
Enabling "Crop/Resize->Misc->Keep output PAR" should help.
