mmg DOES recognize h264, you must just manually specify the framerate
and aac audio is recognized too!

try using mmg 4.3.0..

Or you could just load your original file (i assume video & audio & subs) into makemkv, then make mkv.

HDC will handle file perfectly if you do this.

Thank you buzzqw for HDC. I just upgraded from Vista to Windows 7 and also from HDC 2.X to the latest 3.0.691.4632. For some reason, there is no converted file at the end. Any suggestion? What did I do wrong? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
Media Player Classic Homecinema 1.4.2499.0 can play K:\HDC\job1\hdconverttox_vts_01_1.avs from the beginning to the end (all 2 hours). It has no audio which I think is normal.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled all required applications: Avisynth_258, ffdshow_rev3611_20101006_clsid, MatroskaSplitter 1.10.262.12, Xvid-1.2.2-07062009 and HDConvertToX_3.0.691.4632
I set ffdshow to use libmpeg2 as decoder for MPEG2 and DVD, and wmv9 as decoder for VC-1.
I selected Haali Media Splitter to Enable AVI support and Enable MPEG-PS support during installation.
I set AVIMux_GUI to run in compatibility mode for WinXP SP2.
Using Win7DSFilterTweaker_3_7, I selected ffdshow. I chose ffdshow (DXVA) when that option is available.
I have also tried to run HDC as an administrator.
Thanks.

Only mp3 in conversion with Win7 and HD-PVR

Been fighting this and can not figure it out:

Upp'ed to Win 7, and installed V3.0.691.4632 (from first post) now then, when using a video file recorded from an Hauppauge HD-PVR that is 1080i and Dolby Digital, I get a great pic but no audio unless I convert to mp3.

I've looked through the thread - (we need to narrow this down into an FAQ maybe, it's so large) and can't find anything.

Help?

If it IS listed, just point me in the right direction.

************** edit ********************

Ok, I WASN'T using V3.x. Now that I am, I'm having problems with Win 7 complaining (they didn't fix that in this release) that xvid-encraw.exe has stopped working.

I think the problem is the output file location which is a SATA HDD (drive K) connected to an onboard chip Marvell 61xx raid controller, not the Intel ICH10R chip. My motherboard is Asus P5Q-E (P45 and ICH10R). The converted file can be saved in another drive (drive H, connected to the ICH10R) but not the 2 drives (drives I and K) attached to the Marvell chip. Both drives I and K have over 100GB of free space and all drives are formatted as NTFS. I am not using RAID, just using the 2 extra SATA jacks from the Marvell chip as regular SATA connections. Perhaps it's a hardware driver and Windows 7 (32bit) issue? I am now testing another movie. Thank you so much for your help.

HDC v3
Source is .m2ts and target is .m2ts, blu-ray structure.
Ticking 'Insert Chapters evey...' in the Muxing Tab has no effect. The chapters are not inserted in the .meta.

Normally I would not use this because the chapters are extracted from the source .m2ts. However not all streams include a chapter track. In these cases the 'Insert Chapters every...' would be handy. Can it be done?

Yes it is installed. I ended up replacing the file with a different version and - so far - all is well.

Thank you.

***************** EDIT ***********************

Correction: On the second pass it crashes, so that is still problem #2. BUT problem #1, is more interesting problem, if I convert using any video codec but the container is MP4, and use AC3/448/5.1 in the settings, the resultant file has no sound. If I change the container to anything else - the sound returns to the final file.

**** added *****
When I play the ac3 file within the job folder it's fine. Ditto the video.

Did I miss something along the way?

I did that. I reinstalled mkvtoolnix in case that had something to do with it and it still said that it didn't recognize the filetype of the .h264 file.

Heh, heh. I just now tried it again while I'm typing this and now it's working. Must have been a computer issue that required a restart.

That's what I ended up doing. I never could get the subtitles to rip from the last chapter of my DVD for some reason. So I acquired a plain-text subtitle file from a third party and just remuxxed my original file, removing vsrip's subs and adding the text-based ones.

When using a file with DTS sound going to AVCHD output, is there a way to keep the DTS instead of going to AC3?

Edit***

NM, I see the copy audio option now.

The Movie is declared to interlaced
The final result will be a MKV with Italian and English AC3 audio track and subtitle for both language. For video compression i'm using x264 with CFR 15 setting.

I've tried Interlaced, Interlaced HQ and Yadif Bob but i can't achieve a good result because the final output it's deinterlaced but lacks totally on sharpness (and it's not caused by the compression settings because i'm using a quite high value for CFR). It's like all the edges are all very blurry (maybe later i can post a screenshot).

With progressive material, with the same settings for compression the result is almost identical to the original source with all details preserved.

So the big question is: What is the best way to treat interlaced material (especially Animation and Cartoons)? What filters or chain of filters i should use? Is there a filter that you suggest from HDC?

My first concern is quality so i don't bother for now on computing time or file size (i will find the good balance later ).

Thanks for all help!

EDIT: I've read all the suggestions from FPS100 and the best deinterlacer should be Combination of Bob+Weave (=Progressive Scan). Is it possible to achieve on HDC?

Another minor issue:
When I remove the tickmark for 'Log x264 encoding' in the 'Resizers & Options' tab, it is not saved when I 'Save Settings' but is always restored when I restart HDC. Is this intentional? Anyway, it's really not critical.
