uncropMKV - get your video files to AVCHD/BD compliant resolution/level/ref frames

[gcrutcher]

Hi,

Other 1920 x 1080p movies have been okay.

When I played the video after uncropMKV there was no video.
The file mkv file size was a little larger than DTS audio file.

What I had to do was resize to 1280 x 720. That worked fine.
Took about 3 hours to complete.

I also have the same problem. Choosing the resize option without (No Change) as advised by deank fixed it for me.

Not for me. I still have to uncrop one by one.

"You have reached the download limit for free-users. Would you like more?"
which is an issue with my ISP, and there is nothing I can do about that.

VideoHelp updates regularly my tools: here. It is better to download the latest multiAVCHD. It contains uncropMKV.

I'm getting a problem, the resulting file has a .h264 extension and i cant play it....

[deank]

It should be used by mkvmerge to create a mkv file... don't you have an -uncropped.mkv in the output folder?

if not - use tsmuxer or mkvgui and add this .264 file.. add audio and you're done.

Do you have the full download and mkvmerge in \tools folder?

I've downloaded the full package and started from the beginning. I cant use mkvmerge because i stream the file, and the audio i had was of the original file.

Deak, it worked, a clean install and solved the problem. Only problem was thar FFdshow "burned" the subtitles...

[deank]

Yes, you need to disable all pre/post processing in ffdshow...

Just start your movie and right-click on the ffdshow icon and click on subtitles to disable the plugin... them run uncropmkv and it won't show them.

Yes, i know how to do it, didn't remember that, so i'm making ir again.

One other question, i have a problem, after i put the files in AVCHD format normaly they "grow" and will not fit in a DVD5 or DVD9 like the original MKV. How can i calculate the bitrate for the resulting file?

[deank]

uncropMKV usually creates a bit smaller MKV that after converting to m2ts fits... It depends on your audio but usual overhead is about 7%. RipBot can help you with bitrate calculation.

I too am getting an .264 file and also the uncropped .mkv but its very small ..
388,341 movie.mkv
5,005,056,235 movie.264

I tried tsmuxer with both files but the output was unplayable?

[deank]

Run it again and watch what's going on... There may be x264 exception error and it stops encoding... may be you didn't download the full package... may be your PC is too weak and you don't have enough memory.

[b66pak]

the .log feature for x264 and mkvmerge will help debugging...do you have time to add it?

[deank]

Yes, I'm testing it. I added "Settings" tab next to Stream list / Queue list... I'll also add 2pass x264 there soon.

E8400 with 4Gb Ram running Win7 x64.
Did download full package

Progress of sorts. Tried it on another .mkv movie and got:

6,710,532,196 movieX.mkv
5,226,904,567 movieX.264

Ran the cropped .mkv and it works and looks/sounds great.
I then ran tsmuxer 1.9.9 to output avchd folders. But when I play the movie its now in 4:3 aspect and theres no sound!??

I also reran the first movie and got the same results as this one. When I try to convert the .mkv to avchd there is no sound nor does the movie info show any audio???

[deank]

What player did you use? Did you play directly the m2ts file or played the whole AVCHD structure?
