I wanted to see what quality I can expect from FRIM when pushed. It was good, may be not on par with x264 but still very good.

wtf indeed. Where's the rest of the log.

And you do know that you're shrinking a 20GB of data onto a format that can only hold 4.36GB right. In order to achieve that, bdrb has to shrink to a format 5x less the original size. So the bitrate has decrease immensely

I've shrank 39Gb movies to 4.36Gb using BD-RB (x264) with very good results so nothing unsusual here. Wanted to put FRIM to the same test.

I think that's fair. I've done movies in that size range to BD-5 before using X264. They're not comparable to the quality you'd get on a BD-25, but they're pretty good. The notable thing is that, once again, the HW mode creates a mess.

Cloud Atlas Subtitle/Chapters Bug?

The resulting file shows 18 chapters, and the markers for the chapters end in the middle of VLC's seek bar, or any other software players seek area. Because the movie's length is showing as 5 hours plus. My HDTV as well as LG player..same. If I remove the English PGC with MKVMergeGUI the chapters show correctly all across whatever players Seek bar; LG player or Windows, Mac. Meaning, 2h 51m 57s vs 5h34m32s. Looks like a bug?

Noticing a SUP has a 0 size might have something to do with it?

Help

Just have reencoded a source (My Monsters, inc BD - SD extra video)using 3:2 pulldown (MPEG-2, 480i, 29,97fps, 153MB) getting the following results:

- converted to 1920x1080i (upresized), CRF=20, without IVTC and deinterlacing, 84,2MB - played back fine in powerdvd and popcorn-hour

- converted to 1920x1080i (upresized), CRF=20, with IVTC enabled, 40,7MB - video played back stalling while the audio was continuous through the timeline in powerdvd and popcorn-hour

- converted to 1920x1080p (upresized), CRF=20, without IVTC, SmoothDeinterlace enabled, 42,8MB - video played back very similarly as the previous

- converted to 1920x1080p (upresized), CRF=20, with IVTC and SD_PROGRESSIVE enabled, 40,4MB - video played back very similarly as the previous 2 ones.

I am a little bit confused about the similar "stalling effect" with all the last 3 results. If someone has an idea, it would be really appreciated.

Thank you!

What are you using for decoding? I've done hundreds of encodes from DVD to BD using iVTC, most with DGDecodeNV, and have had no problems. In fact, I just encoded 40 episodes from a series that were MPEG-2, 480i, 29.97 with iVTC today (resulting in 23.976 output).

Can you post the AVS file of the source that is causing the issue?

I haven't done any testing of FIRMEncode/Decode because I thought it is for 3D only. I skipped some of the chatter because I have some 3D+2D movies, but since I don't watch anything in 3D. But, JDobbs, yours comment about 2D is intriguing. So, I'll try it with my i7 930. I've never agreed with the saying, "If it isn't broke, don't modify/fix it." Talk about a recipe for stagnation and same ol' same ol'... ;-) So, on that note...I'll report soon.

DirectShowSource
I do not use DGdecNV because I do not have a CUDA enabled video card (AMD Firepro V4900).

Please find all the four avs files as a zip attachement from
which 3 causes very similar playback errors in all the 2 player devices I currently have. (PC with Powerdvd and Popcorn-hour C200 with it's own playback software).

I really appreciate your efforts!

I think the situation with 3:2 pulldown / hard telecined sources has become a kind of "standoff" for me.

DirectShowSource results = stalling video, audio OK
LAVF = cannot be used for frameserving by such sources
DGdecNV = cannot be used for frameserving because not
owning an Nvidia with CUDA video decoding support
FRIMSource = plays fine, but I will never want to use ABR in my encodes....

It seems that the problem solved:

DirectShowSource enabled for frame serving + set IVTC_TELECIDE=0 in the ini. file + "IVTC sources with 3:2 pulldown" checkbox selected, however the avs script (attached) says nothing about IVTC...

I looked at the AVS files you posted. The only odd thing I sees is the "no iVTC with deinterlacing" isn't doing any interlacing. I'll assume that was a mistake.

If you are getting jerky motion with these AVS files, only one of three things might be the reason. 1) The source isn't telecined; 2) The source is hybrid; 3) The players have issues.

It isn't exactly doing "inverse telecining" -- but it is using DirectshowSource to convert the framerate. That makes me think even more that the source either isn't telecined or it is hybrid.

Do you have "IVTC_480i=1" set in your INI file? If so that's the issue. That should only be set when you have a hard-telecined source. It can really screw with non-telecined sources.

No, I haven't set IVTC_480i, so it must be on it's default value which is 0. I am going to check the 480i source with previewing it in dgmpgdec...but as far as I remember it is
telecined and BD-RB automatically started the IVTC process on this source by selecting the IVTC checkbox in the setup dialogue.

Please post your INI file.

A Full Backup (2D) with same settings is showing same frame rates.

Next test (2D)...I've switched BD-RB to x264 Encoder. Nothing else changed. With the same parts x264 is getting ~46 FPS. This is for single pass only. More tests to do..


A side note to my previous post about "Cloud Atlas" with English PGS showing as 5+ hours long, I had BD-RB imported the MKV to create a BD. Then played the BD with PowerDVD 12 and my LG. Both showed the move as being 5+ hours. For your information. Again, only way it shows it the correct play time is without the English PGS. I'll try with French or Spanish without English, soon.

You have to set:

SD_PROGRESSIVE=1

If it is set to "0" (as in your INI). When you change it BD-RB is told to insert pulldown flags (via X264) in the output. TSMUXER can't handle 3:2 pulldown (even in MPEG-2), I think it's a PTS/timing issue, but I've never looked at it closely enough to say for sure. That's why the SD_PROGRESSIVE default is "1". The "0" setting is really only useful for output to MP4 or MKV.

I'm pretty much positive that's the source of your problem.

[Edit] Interestingly I just noticed that the HIDDENOPTS.TXT file incorrectly states that the default is "0". That is incorrect -- the default is "1" -- I've updated HIDDENOPTS for the next release.

Only by using IVTC_TELECIDE=0 in the ini can solve the problem. With SD_PROGRESSIVE set to 1 the video is still being played jerky. Interestingly the filesize is around 71MB
when IVTC_TELECIDE=0, and with the other IVTC attempts when IVTC_TELECIDE=1 and each other settings were unchanged was around 40,5MB. So, much bigger filesize couples with fine playback while the smaller one with a jerky one.
