Another problem with this Custom resize: it seems to let artefacts after conversion. A green line (that green line...) up the movie screen, and some strange lines at the bottom of the screen:

To tell you the truth i don't know what do you mean by that. I couldn't see anything.

Can you send me the encoder outputs? If it is empty (sometimes that happens) select "Export to Script" and send me the bat file.

Edit:
I found the source of the problem. TEncoder does not pass bitrate value to FFMpeg when encoding to h264. As a workaround, you can pass "-b:v A000" as custom argument, A being the bitrate you want.
I also found out that selecting "Close TEncoder" or "Open output folder" as post-encode option causes TEncoder to not to keep encoder logs.

Hi. It's a nice tool.
I hope that you consider some of the suggestions.

1- Ability to keep Aspect Ratio of video and resize to any size
2- Auto Detect Black Borders and Auto Crop
3- Manual Crop for those who prefer that.
4- Use a single source file (.mkv) and detect any format of audio such as DTS/ DTS MA/ TrueHD and convert to any audio format
5- Detect subtitle forms (.srt/.pgs/.sup) in .mkv files or any, maybe Full BD (.m2ts) and output them in the Output Folder

[ozok]

@meshaun thanks for the input. I'll add a cropping editor like the current range editor. And changing width or height to maintain aspect ratio seems a good idea.

Aren't DTS/ DTS MA/ TrueHD files detected? I don't have files containing these kinds of streams to test.

[meshaun]

Hi. I'll check on that then.
I really appreciate if you can add the Auto Crop and Maintaining Aspect Ratio stuff.

One more thing, can it process a full Blu-ray disc? Like, detect the .m2ts file and encode an .mp4 from that?

TEncoder accepts m2ts files and AFAIK ffmpeg and mencoder can encode them into other formats. But i dont know much about bluray discs.

Already done that!
Settings:
Custom size (your own size)
Aspect Ratio: Original

[meshaun]

No new updates with the latest x264 encoding release?

-vf filter1=filterargs,filter2=filterargs... usage of different filters might be different see link below.

-vf crop=680:552:22:12,scale=512:384,hqdn3d is an example of how to use mencoder filters.

Look here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/man/en/...#VIDEO FILTERS these are for Mplayer but may work for MEncoder as well.

[VoXHD]

Already tried it with -vf filter1..... Don't work!

@VoXHD are you sure there is a space here "-xvidencopts bitrate=3000:threads=1:-vf unsharp=l7x7:-2:c7x7:-2" between "threads=1:" and "-vf"? When entering custom command line, make sure first and characters are space. It is suppose to add these spaces but might be a bug.

[VoXHD]

added [space] between "threads=1:" and "-vf" and seem to be ok. it works. no bug so far...
in fact, i added only -vf unsharp=l7x7:-2:c7x7:-2 as a custom argument in the command line.
i will try with other scripts too

Very useful tool, thank you.

I was afraid that a conversion "Movie audio track to pure audio file" would enforce a container, but if Video codec = Disabled, audio files are created as they should.

In case of pure audio output, it would be nice to have a quality level instead of a constant bitrate (e.g. LAME VBR MP3: -V # / Ogg Vorbis: -q #).

[ozok]

@LigH disabling video works like audio extraction as you stated. It determines output audio file's extension by detecting audio codec but sometimes that may fail, so i appreciate bug reports on that matter.

I was planning to write a different GUI focusing on purely audio encoding but i can add quality option too. First i must check if mencoder and ffmpeg supports that.

[pintcat]

@ozok: Thanx for finally adding lossless support. Two small issues:

1. If I set the encoder to Huffyuv all the video specific settings like resolution and aspect ratio are disabled. If I want to change these settings I have to choose another codec first, change what ever I have to change and then set it to Huffyuv. That's a bug, right?
2. It uses the ffmpeg variant of Huffyuv (FFVH) which can only be decoded by ffmpeg itself. In general, I can use LAV or ffdshow to handle this, but there are a few applications which use internal decoders instead of third party stuff and these might be unable to import this format. Better use the original Huffyuv.
