I am trying to encode a .TS that is mpeg2. It was recorded from an OTA broadcast in the US. THe video is 29.97 but ripbot has the deinterlace option greyed out. Any idea why this would be?

I don't know how to cut the file. I don't currently have a tuner to record a small sample it is coming in the mail. I sent the other one back.

I've brought it up before, but is it possible in the batch mode to set a custom crop?
I've been using the auto crop, but it doesn't always get it right.

Right now I have about 78 files that should all have a crop of L 240 and a R 240 but many (not all) are L238 R240 and all of those have a small black line on the left side, so I'm having to go through each job and check manually, which IMO defeats the purpose of the autocrop.

I recorded the same show and have the same problem, I did a test of a random recording and it worked on that one, any idea why.

Again the options to deinterlace are greyed out.

Option is greyed out because your video does not have constant frame rate. Detected FPS has to be 29.97 or 25.

BTW. I'm shocked that big broadcasters in USA still use MPEG-2 format for HD content. In EU only MPEG-4 AVC is used in HD (and probably in SD as well).

Germany still uses MPEG-2 for SD broadcasts via DVB-S.

Ok, so what do you recommend I do with it, I notice when I did an encode it came out at like 25.3 fps or something. (and it was way out of sync) Basically I just want to shrink it down.

Issue is still there: When trying to close RB (manuell or per checkbox after completing encode), window closes, but RB still shows up in taskbar, but isn't responding anymore.
So autoshutdown doesn't happen too.

New start of RB isn't possible except i kill task in taskmanager before.

Also can someone help me understand how to identify that it is variable framerate?

Which Windows Version are you on? Do you have antivirus or anything running? I haven't had this issue in Windows 7 or Windows 10.

Sometimes Media info can help see if the file is a variable FPS, or if you look at the FPS info while playing the file, if your video player shows the FPS in realtime.

As for syncing up the audio/video, have you tried TimeCodes?

https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...es#post1849546

...try copying the timestamp file from source to your encoded file. This is especially helpful with variable frame rate files.

Extracting timecodes (windows batch file):
Code:
Code:
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvextract.exe" timecodes_v2 "%%A" "0:%%A_timecodes.txt"
^^ The above is for running the batch file in the same folder as the video files that you want to extract the timestamp info from (source)

Batch importing with Encoded files in the same folder as the extracted timecodes .txt files(windows batch file)
Code:
Code:
FOR %%A IN (*.mkv) DO "C:\Program Files\MKVToolNix\mkvmerge.exe" -o "%%~A-fixed.mkv" --timecodes "0:%%A_timecodes.txt" "%%~A"
If you're working with something other than MKVs you'd want to change that in the scripts.
The above has the batch version but you can do this with MKVExtract and the GUI.

HEVC 3.0 stable is out:
3.0+1-ed72af8
http://msystem.waw.pl/x265/

Release notes:
https://bitbucket.org/multicoreware/...leasenotes.rst
Quote:
+New features
+-------------
+1. option:: '--dolby-vision-profile <integer|float>' generates bitstreams confirming to the specified Dolby Vision profile. Currently profile 5, profile 8.1 and profile 8.2 enabled, Default 0 (disabled)
+
+2. option:: '--dolby-vision-rpu' File containing Dolby Vision RPU metadata. If given, x265's Dolby Vision metadata parser will fill the RPU field of input pictures with the metadata
+ read from the file. The library will interleave access units with RPUs in the bitstream. Default NULL (disabled).
+
+3. option:: '--zonefile <filename>' specifies a text file which contains the boundaries of the zones where each of zones are configurable.
+
+4. option:: '--qp-adaptation-range' Delta-QP range by QP adaptation based on a psycho-visual model. Default 1.0.
+
+5. option:: '--refine-ctu-distortion <0/1>' store/normalize ctu distortion in analysis-save/load. Default 0.
+
+6. Experimental feature option:: '--hevc-aq' enables adaptive quantization
+ It scales the quantization step size according to the spatial activity of one coding unit relative to frame average spatial activity. This AQ method utilizes
+ the minimum variance of sub-unit in each coding unit to represent the coding unit’s spatial complexity.
+
+Encoder enhancements
+--------------------
+1. Preset: change param defaults for veryslow and slower preset. Replace slower preset with defaults used in veryslow preset and change param defaults in veryslow preset as per experimental results.
+2. AQ: change default AQ mode to auto-variance
+3. Cutree offset reuse: restricted to analysis reuse-level 10 for analysis-save -> analysis-load
+4. Tune: introduce --tune animation option which improves encode quality for animated content
+5. Reuse CU depth for B frame and allow I, P frame to follow x265 depth decision
+
+Bug fixes
+---------
+1. RC: fix rowStat computation in const-vbv
+2. Dynamic-refine: fix memory reset size.
+3. Fix Issue #442: linking issue on non x86 platform
+4. Encoder: Do not include CLL SEI message if empty
+5. Fix issue #441 build error in VMAF lib

I have not done that and thank you. I am a noob when it comes to encoding. I am looking for an easy way to shrink DVR recordings. I have used ripbot in the past and like it, but the interlaced thing always seems to be a headache. I don't even need to deinterlace if there is a way to shrink the file but keep all that the same. Because the mpeg2's look great, they are just too big.

@byteshare:
Three z270, 7700k, 64gb ram, 2tb 970 Evo, vega64 with Win10pro 17763.292 (at home)
Two x470, 2700x, 64gb, 1tb 960 Evo, RX550 with Win10pro 17134.xxx (at work)
Only ms defender as av.
Issue with each of them. One z270 has a fresh reinstall today (17763.107 iso + Cu292) + drivers.
Does not happen with an old local install of RB1.23.

@byteshare: It's not the HEVC standard, but the x265 encoder, which reached version 3.0.
