Hi,

I can confirm that ac3 is supported, and encodes to EC3.

However, as you mentioned, aac is not supported (yet).

no lossless audio found, skipping file.
the script has been completed, press a key to start again...

I would think that with the tools you have in the "tool pack", that this should be able to be done.

It's just a matter of the correct instructions..

Cheers.

PS:-

So I'm clearly missing something here, I just did a quick Hybrid conversion on a clip that had ac3 640kbps audio track, and I was hoping that would be converted to EC3, but it remained as an ac3. (MP4 workflow)

I converted the mp4 back to mkv (MKVToolNix) to demux the ac3 track, then used 8-1-1 to convert to EC3, then remuxed that again with MKVToolNix, then ran it thru #5 (MP4 Muxer), and there it all was.

Hi,

Having problems trying to use custom settings in DoVi Baker with NVEnc, the default settings work fine as follows:

E:\Dolby-Vision-Tools>"E:\Dolby-Vision-Tools\tools\NVEncC\NVEncC64.exe" --vbr 50000 --codec h265 --multipass 2pass-full --preset P7 --output-depth 10 --profile main10 --max-bitrate 160000 --vbv-bufsize 160000 --colormatrix bt2020nc --colorprim bt2020 --transfer smpte2084 --colorrange limited --chromaloc 2 --aud --repeat-headers --master-display "G(8500,39850)B(6550,2300)R(35400,14600)WP(15635,16450)L(10000000,1)" --max-cll "900,198" --dolby-vision-profile 8.1 --dolby-vision-rpu "E:\Dolby-Vision-Tools\temp.folder49\P8.RPU.bin" -i "E:\Dolby-Vision-Tools\temp.folder49\script.avs" -o "E:\Dolby-Vision-Tools\Total Recall (1990)_encoded.hevc"

When I copy settings that I use with HDR in Staxrip and edit the NVEnc settings it fails to run the encoder, can anybody advise what DoVi baker doesn't like about the below settings please?

I'm pretty new to DoVi_Scripts, but if you're trying to use Staxrip settings, I'd say you're in for a world of pain !!!

I'm pretty sure that all you need to do is edit the NVenc_HDR_settings.bat file in the "tools" folder.

set settings=--vbr 50000 --codec h265 --multipass 2pass-full --preset P7 --output-depth 10 --profile main10 --max-bitrate 160000 --vbv-bufsize 160000 --colormatrix bt2020nc --colorprim bt2020 --transfer smpte2084 --colorrange limited --chromaloc 2 --aud --repeat-headers

:: do not remove the ''set settings=''

You may only need to use this:- (only guessing)

set settings=--avhw --vbr 40000 --codec h265 --preset quality --output-depth 10 --profile main --level 5.1 --qp-init 1 --max-bitrate 40000 --aq --bframes 0 --ref 5 --lookahead 32 --vbr-quality 17 --colormatrix bt2020nc --colorprim bt2020 --transfer smpte2084 --colorrange limited --chromaloc 2 --aud --repeat-headers

https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob..._Options.en.md

I have changed a couple fo commands and it's worked, the rest of the settings & commands are controlled elsewhere in the app, and probably look after themselves.

lossy audio conversion is only supported in 8-1-1. For all the other workflows, only lossless audio get converted to EAC3 and I don't think I will change this behavior.
Why do you want to convert ac3 to ec3?

PS: I added AAC support in the latest beta.

No idea, but try to add one custom cmd at a time until you find which one doesn't work.


PS: I found an issue when converting Profile 5 to HDR10 or SDR with avisynthplus+libplacebo, I cannot get the color right and only when I use vapoursynth+libplacebo the output is right. So if someone is converting P5 video, he should update to the latest beta right now(update your tools pack too).

I've tried in staxrip and it's exactly the same issue when you use avisynth. Sorry for not noticing earlier, I rarely convert P5 videos.

Well, one reason is that some of the series episodes have THD 7.1, and I will convert them to EC 5.1 (my TV/"home theatre" doesn't support thd or 7.1), and I just wanted them all the same....

PS: I added AAC support in the latest beta.

Is this beta mkv or mp4 ?? It's mkv, I just downloaded it, can I change this to mp4 ??
The Beta is 2.0.3, I got that a couple of days ago, or have you changed it since ??

Is there also an update for the tool pack ?? (I actually hope not, it's another 2.6Gb rar), but if so, what has changed ?? maybe a partial update.

I actually converted a P5 the other day, got it to P8, but like you mention, the colour is a little off.

Does DoVi_Scripts support Vapoursynth ??? (I haven't seen it anywhere).

Thanks.

the scripts are all the same, you can just change the filename to TS or MP4
The last modified date is written in the right corner when you launch the script.

Is there also an update for the tool pack ?? (I actually hope not, it's another 2.6Gb rar), but if so, what has changed ?? maybe a partial update.

add these into your tools folder:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Sqc...usp=drive_link

Does DoVi_Scripts support Vapoursynth ??? (I haven't seen it anywhere).

it does with the new tools and the latest beta

[Gatorman3385]

The script is crashing when I try to inject a RPU into an existing MKV. I'm not sure how to grab the logs, because it crashes when it starts injecting. Also crashing with latest BETA. Any thoughts on what I should do to track down the error? It must be my latest StaxRip encode. Other files work just fine.

[Kuler087]

you can provide a small sample.

Welcome to this thread

I asked about "saving the logs" just the other day, and it's pretty simple, see here for a "how to":-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...25#post1998025

I'm actually not too surprised that you're having issues with StaxRip, so many new builds & problem solving, recently.

I would strongly suggest that ANYTHING DV, should be done with DS.

FYI:- If you need to send a sample (as requested by the dev), you can cut a sample using MKVToolNix, and posting it on Mediafire (as good as any, & free)

Good Luck.

[Kuler087]

He can't do that when the script crashes. But it's all good, he sent me a sample and the problem was a typo at line 894 for Profile 7 RPU input in workflow 1-1.

fixed in the latest beta.

Nice catch, typo's can ruin everything

I just grabbed that tools update, so I will have a play with that, it will be my first VapourSynth using app

So I'm guessing these will be in the full tools pack, or will you make this update available ??

Cheers, lovin' the support

[Kuler087]

Yes, I always update the tools pack as soon as needed to keep up with the BETA versions. And when I release the stable version, I always share separately the new tools needed so people don't have to re-download the whole pack again and again.

But there are some annoying msg now for the first 200 frames when encoding P5 videos with vapoursynth/libplacebo but the output is correct and it does the same if I do the same job in staxrip.
I'll have to check it out.

Avisynth Compat: requested frame 2 not prefetched, using slow method...

I'm probably doing something wrong, again,

I tried 3 different AAC's in 8-1-1, of the latest BETA, and got this :-

The problem is that the script relies on mediainfo.exe to get the bitrate and it seems it doesn't report a bitrate for a demuxed AAC track. Will make the script remux it to mka.

Should work now in the latest beta...

Well, you've done it again, worked like a charm.

So that now leads me to the next option request (sorry)

Could you add a bitrate option(s) for ac3 & aac to EC3 conversions ??

Like maybe 640, 1024 & 1536 ??

Thanks

I loaded the weird coloured P5 DV (only) clip and see what happens..

HDR format: Dolby Vision, Version 1.0, Profile 5, dvhe.05.06, BL+RPU

And I got this:- (truncated)

Also, please note the blue text, there is no Mastering Display option.

And, I thought there may have been some indication that Vapoursynth might have been involved with this, but there was only a reference to Avisynth.

[Kuler087]

right, I did not update 3-1, 6-2 and 7-3 yet but it matters less for those workflows because the brightness metadata are not really affected.

Also, please note the blue text, there is no Mastering Display option.

MDL must be selected manually for P5 input because cmv2.9 doesn't have info about primaries, only cmv4.0 does in L9(the script still doesn't use it though).
Normally, if you have access to P5 web-dl you also have access to the HDR10 stream in which you can get the MDL data.

What does this actually refer to, as I had asked several different questions.

You didn't say anything about the audio bitrates.

Actually, after I first watched that P5 DV, I acquired a non DV version by the same user, so is there any point in trying to "fix" the DV version ??

Interesting note, when I played the P5 thru my Xiaomi TV Box S 2nd Gen, it played fine, but it seems to work with DV, where the TV won't, but the Xiaomi has other issues, so I don't use it

Cheers.

DV rarely needs to be generated if the original is already DV. Disney plus , iTunes and MA sometimes have DV with static metadata but its rare.

What does this actually refer to

p5 avisynth

You didn't say anything about the audio bitrates.

I'll think about something... probably just a keyword in filename.

I'll have to check the details of the file before I download it, but why it was encoded to P5 is a little strange, IMO.

p5 avisynth

I thought you'd added Vapoursynth for P5..

I'll think about something... probably just a keyword in filename.

That'd be nice, thanks.
