same as before:
::choose EC3 DD+ encoding bitrate (default= 1536) 5.1 = max 1536kbps and 7.1= max 1024kbps
set DDP_bitrate=1024


8-2-5: I'll check it out.

OK, so I do have that set to 1536, as I have disabled 7.1, as I can't really use it (as explained a few days ago), and I thought that was the setting you were talking about.

So, I have a crappy .aac audio from a tv series, (even tho it's a 4K DV video) and it has a measly bitrate of 200kbps, so what happens if I add IGNOREBITRATE to the .aac's file name ??

Yes, I was a bit puzzled that 8-2-5 worked on an earlier build, so there's been a bit of double checking along the way.

==============================

I hope I'm not being a PITA, and that the feedback, suggestions, etc, aren't too much.

Please forgive me for asking some pretty basic question's, as, as you know I have not been using this for very long, and it's your "baby", and know it like the back of your hand.
I know it can be annoying to be asked about things that just come naturally to the you, being the dev.

Regards.

it will use whatever bitrate you have set.
There is no point in increasing the bitrate though, this is intended for someone who wants to reduce bitrate. EG 768kbps to 384.

that's why its called BETA, when I make a change, its possible that I introduce new bug. There are so many workflow and input possible that i did not test everything yet.

EDIT: fixed in latest beta

OK, grabbed latest BETA...

So I tried this:- The.Lord.of.the_0_0_IGNOREBITRATE.aac, which is 211kbps, after DS, it was the same, but .ec3.


Then onto 8-2-5, which was the topic of yesterday, so see here for reference:-

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...40#post1998440

No errors today

Next dilemma, 8-2-5 of this :-

The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk.mkv

produced a large .mov (video only)

So now I need the audio..how do I do that ??

Demuxed that .mkv using gMKVExtractGUI to get the audio (which was a .dts),

Audio

Compression mode                         : Lossless

ran that thru 8-1-1, and that produced a .mkv container with this:-

So now I have a .mov & a .mkv (audio), how do I mux that ??

DoVi MP4 Muxer does not support .mov , however DoVi MKV Muxer does (even tho it doesn't say that it does)

So I put both in a separate folder, named the same, and opened DoVi MKV Muxer, and got this:-

Drag and drop folder with files or a single file and press enter..."D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\New folder"
processing..."The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mkv"
processing..."The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mov"
mkvmerge v82.0 ('I'm The President') 64-bit

'D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\New folder\The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mov' track 0: Using the output module for the format 'ProRes video'.
The file 'D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100_NEW.mkv' has been opened for writing.
The cue entries (the index) are being written...
Multiplexing took 35 seconds.

But the muxed .mkv only had the video track

So then I tried the MP4 Muxer:-

Got this error, and I can't get around it:-

Drag and drop folder with files or a single file and press enter..."D:\Dovi_Encodes_MP4\New folder"
processing..."The Magnificent Seven_t00_chunk_HDR100.mkv"
reading input tracks format/id/language...
done.
Error: The ID '0' has already been used for another destination file.
muxing into a DoVi MP4 file. Be patient, it can take a while. 40min+ on slow HDD
ERROR! Can't open input file: D:\Dovi_Temp_MP4\temp.folder66\HDR.hevc
Error parsing command line!

I think there is a problem with MP4 Muxer in the latest BETA, I just tried another file, and it had other errors, but that's for another msg.

I think that's about enough, for one message.

Cheers.

8-2-5 is intended for Davinci Resolve (HDR grading). This workflow just puts the SDR video into a REC2020 HDR container without touching the brightness or gamut.
There's no point in watching HDR at 100nits so of course the script muxing doesnt support prores input, and never will. Prores is a lossless codec not meant for playback but for editing.
PS: I don't believe in the one click SDR to HDR conversions. HDR must be graded shot by shot!

-- Can encode SDR to HDR10-100nits PQ PRORES 422 HQ
-- Output should be graded in Resolve otherwise this is just 100nits SDR in an HDR container.
-- Require Vapoursynth

Audio bitrate: check the new version...

OK, I did do another SDR to HDR a week or so back, and I doubt that I will go to the trouble of doing all that process in Resolve, however, I did apply a particular 3D LUT,
and it looked pretty damn good, (in preview) but I didn't process it, and haven't done any more to it, yet.

Having said that, you probably could implement a good (good enough) one click SDR to HDR conversion option, for those lazy ppl that don't want to use Resolve. Just sayin'.

I grabbed the latest BETA, it's got 4 extra lines of code, but I haven't had the opportunity to test it today.

Thanks.

UPDATE:- OK, another day, more testing

OK, well 8-1-1 is working, I converted that low bitrate .aac to 1536 (a bit over the top I know, but that's the setting in the .ini), when adding IGNOREBITRATE to the file name.

So expanding on that, could a custom bitrate be used in the file name, for "one off" conversions ??

------------------------------------------------------

And a little off that topic, I have been noticed a strange behavior with a lot of the workflows, when they're completed...

You get this :_

the script has been completed, press a key to start again...
Press any key to continue . . .
------------------------------------------------------
-- This script encode lossless audio to EAC3 DD+
-- Input can be a folder with files or a single file.
-- EAE folder needed for 7.1 encoding.
------------------------------------------------------
Drag and drop folder with files or a single file and press enter...

So you drag another file over, press enter, and the whole "window" disappears.

[Kuler087]

Maybe...

no sorry, the web is already flooded with bad sdr to hdr upscales, I don't want to contribute...

And a little off that topic, I have been noticed a strange behavior with a lot of the workflows, when they're completed...

you have to press a key to start the workflow again. If you drop a file without pressing a key, yes the script will crash.

But there's a known issue with some workflows when there're completed that ask if you want to go back to the main menu: It could process the same file again.
It's on my todo list but I never use that function so it's not a priority to me. When I have more than one file to process I just input a folder with files instead.

It really only happens when I'm using the same workflow for different things, folder idea is good

So what's next, "proper" 2.0.3 ??

Thanks again

I have to test every possible input in 8-2, and then I can release 2.0.3 stable. Probably be tomorrow or later today.

Awesome, so now 2.0.3 stable is out

I've noticed a couple of things in the "newtools2.0.3.7z"

Now there's an Avisynth folder, instead of just in the main folder.

arial.ttf ?

So other than that, simply copy & overwrite the existing contents of the tool pack ??

Thanks.

PS:- Just curious, if simply renaming a .bat (eg:- mkv to mp4, which I've done with the beta's), changes its processes, then why provide 3 variants ??

You'll have to add your doom9 address to the .bats.... Contact: R3S3T_9999@proton.me

@Kuler087

i have two sources:
1) HDR10 and AAC 5.1 audio [en]
2) DoVi and Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos [en]

How can i create hybrid version with better audio automatically pick up by the script?

Hi madey83,

Well, once you have all the required components & tools, etc..

There is some setup settings you need to do.

It's pretty simple, open the latest .bat, and choose Menu 3 Option 1, and you will be asked a couple of questions, then away it goes.

Depending on your playback device (TV, PC, etc) will determine whether you need .mkv or .mp4 output.

Have been using this for a couple of weeks, helping Kuler along the way. It's GOOD !!!!!

i would like to do this one

1) MODE.I= DoVi Inject/Convert/Edit/Re-sync TWO INPUTS (P8 Hybrid Maker/Injector)

and script should ask what audio choose from source or automatically choose better one.... in my case atmos

I haven't used that one, yet.

Well, the choice is yours, you will need to do a bit of trial & error until you get the exact result you're after....

There are a LOT of settings you can "play" with, when you "edit" the .bat, you will see them, LOT's of them.

[Kuler087]

yes

then why provide 3 variants ??

because most of the new users don't read instructions and don't know about it.

unfortunately the script takes the audio from the BL input and I don't think I will change that. So just make sure your BL input has the right audio/subs track before running 1-1
You can also disable muxing and mux with any audio you want after the workflow

I just checked to see if you'd actually provided an updated complete tools pack, (as well as simply the extra's required), and was happy to see that it was .7z

Nice.

Hello, supporter and lurker here

I'm wondering if there's a way to input an L5 config somehow into Resolve's Output Blanking? So, I don't have to go scene by scene and override the blanking for variable ARs in Resolve.

Thank you for your work updating and improving on your scripts regularly.

Workflow 2-9 can make an EDL file that you can import in Resolve. Youtube tutorial about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVx01kCLLS8

But after importing the scene cuts in Resolve, if you planned to import an original XML DV metadata with dynamic L5, It won't work. AFAIK, if you import your xml, only the first shot will get metadata.

Oh I see. I am aware of importing the EDL so thank you, but it seems I would be unable to import variable output blanking so we just have to go scene by scene.

Thank you again for clarifying.
