11 did the trick, good sync, crop working, nice quality and twice as fast as 8-10.

12 was fast too, quality ok, sync ok... crop bad. Black bars are back.

11 will work for me.

Thanks for your speedy responses and efforts.

ps mediainfo dies on 11 + 12.

The crop is fine with 13, but now its spitting out tiny files.

I tried with two sources, i set the output to 60mb and 250mb, I got a 10mb and 55mb file. I retested with 11 and that seems ok.

Strange.

i have encoded the long sample (77mb) to xvid with 2 pass (7' tick) aiming for 30MB and i got a 30.5MB final file

are you using what quality level and what profile ?

Xvid, 7 or 8, cant remember for sure, Autocrop only.

It seems to be inconsistent, happens sometimes but not every time.

On a side thought, is it possible to make the size slider more sensitive, its really hard to get certain sizes ie it jumps from 29 to 59mb.

Be great to be able to manually type in the number.

thanks.

Just click on the slider and then use your keyboard arrow keys.

done... download the update 1.4

Keep forgetting to ask, the drop down box, is that to tell it what it is or what i want it to be?
from the drop list you must select if your movie is
none = progressive or no need to deinterlace
Progressive NTSC (29.97->23.976) = mencoder must convert to 23.976 from 29.97 (decimate)
Interlaced = and mencoder will deinterlace (i used this options on your sample)
Telecine= and mencoder will telecine it
Mixed progressive and telecine AND Mixed progressive and interlaced are hybrid preset for soft telecine and deinterlace

MEncoder by default hardcodes subs. You have to select the sub you want with the -sid option where this option is a number. You can also alternatively choose the anti-aliasing method with the -spuaa option

if you want to dump subs, then use mencoder with the -vobsubout option, eg

mencoder dvd://1 -sid 5 -vobsubout subtitle_file_name

you have to use -sid with -vobsubout when dumping subs to select which one to dump

BTW, I checked the mencoder docs again, you were right, the harddup filter should be placed at the beginning, sorry for mistake, so use....

-vf harddup,scale=512:384,blablabla

Hi buzzq,

Just FYI ...

I just saw your application and was playing around with it ... and I noticed the following using a short VOB test clip:

1) I think the "MPEG2" application on "AutoMen GUI" does not work. It encodes and it shows the file size getting larger but at the end of conversion ... the converted file size goes to "ZERO" !?!?!

2) The MP4 conversion ... works fine as far as Video and Audio decoding ... but when it is muxed up the final AVI ... the Audio does not play back. BTW, this conversion yielded the BEST Video ... however, I don't care for H.264 since currently is not playable on stand-alone dvd players.

3) The .WMV conversion yields an "Unrecognizable" output ... since Windows Media Player or VLC can not play it back and it gives me error.

4) I tried the XviD ... and it worked Good. It did gave a AVI output that it was playable and sound & video were fine. However, even with Quality set at 10 (Max) ... the output Video was so, so.

I did not try the other stuff.

Thanks,
G!

mencoder keeps crashing with dvr-ms input now, was stable all week so i imagine its more to do with the source, but seems strange as im using the same cap card.

I converted it to mpeg2 and encoded to xvid but the output was unplayable and avi fixers would only produce a file that was 75% of the original length, so i guess it got corrupted around that point.

@gonwk

i hope you have used latest version

1)

here is working well. so.. tell me what quality you have used and audio bitrate. also, from dos box launch mpeg2.bat and look at any errors

2)

the final file is the MP4 , the AVI is the file made by mencoder!

3)
Quote:

again... what quality preset ? and what audio ?
here the wmv is perfectly playable with mpc

4)
Quote:

what bitrate ??? (look at xvid.bat)

@dansus

look here

rename to dvr-ms and retry!
