Hello,
I'm converting mkv to DVD (for a friend that does not matter too much about image quality). AVStoDVD works fine, got once a crash, but now it's working. However, there seems to be a slight defect: when I watch the end product (the DVD), every few frames, it looks like the image is jumping/vibrating. When it's a quite scene during the movie, you can see like the movie was vibrating, like if it was getting a light electric shock...sorry, I don't really know how to describe it. How can I check frame per frame? how to troubleshoot? Also, I don't know where is the issue (if any)? I mean, don't know if it's due to AVStoDVD... With another movie, even if an .ac3 file is created, the final product (DVD) does not have sound. here is the log: Code:

@Filbert
I took a look to the mov file you sent me and I must admit that is really a challenge: ffmpeg (used by AVStoDVD to demux audio) fails to extract the wav audio track it contains, see error log herebelow: Code:
FFmpeg version SVN-r16596-Sherpya, Copyright (c) 2000-2009 Fabrice Bellard, et a l. libavutil 49.12. 0 / 49.12. 0 libavcodec 52.10. 0 / 52.10. 0 libavformat 52.23. 1 / 52.23. 1 libavdevice 52. 1. 0 / 52. 1. 0 libavfilter 0. 2. 0 / 0. 2. 0 libswscale 0. 6. 1 / 0. 6. 1 libpostproc 51. 2. 0 / 51. 2. 0 built on Jan 14 2009 07:24:48, gcc: 4.2.5 20080919 (prerelease) [Sherpya] [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0179A470]sample aspect ratio already set, overriding by 'pasp' atom Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'D:\Personal\Movies \Bluescreen.cut.mov': Duration: 00:00:05.36, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 30338 kb/s Stream #0.0(eng): Video: dvvideo, yuv420p, 720x576, 25.00 tb(r) Stream #0.1(eng): Audio: pcm_s16be, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1536 kb/s Output #0, wav, to 'D:\Personal\Movies\DVD\DVD_5_Bluescreen.cut.ToFix.wav': Stream #0.0(eng): Audio: pcm_s16be, 48000 Hz, stereo, s16, 1536 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0.1 -> #0.0 [wav @ 01890050]NONE codec not supported in WAVE format Could not write header for output file #0 (incorrect codec parameters ?) The only (thru command line) way to demux the wav track I found is mencoder, but, really, I do not think to add mencoder (10 MB) to AVStoDVD package just to handle this kind of "problematic" mov files. Any alternative hint is well accepted. Bye |

As written in a previous post it worked until 2.1.4, so audio handling seems to have changed in the new alphas. 2.1.4.: START AUDIO ENCODING OPERATIONS Wavi (WAV) Parameters: "C:\DOKUME~1\User\LOKALE~1\Temp\Bluescreen.cut_0_Title_01.avs" "C:\DOKUME~1\User\LOKALE~1\Temp\Bluescreen.cut_0_Title_01.wav" Aften (AC3) Parameters: -b 192 "C:\DOKUME~1\User\LOKALE~1\Temp\Bluescreen.cut_0_Title_01.wav" "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\User\Eigene Dateien\Bluescreen.cut_0_Title_01.ac3" <> <13.06.2009 13:00:35> END AUDIO ENCODING OPERATIONS Alphas: START AUDIO DEMUXING OPERATIONS FFmpeg Parameters: -i "H:\Test-Videos\[Source]\Bluescreen.cut.mov" -acodec copy "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\User\Eigene Dateien\Bluescreen.cut.ToFix.wav" <> <13.06.2009 13:02:42> PROCESS ABORTED DURING TITLE 1 AUDIO ENCODING OPERATIONS. Can't you use the method of 2.1.4. for DV-Quicktime Movie if it is detected? Thanx for your all your effort... Greets, Filbert |

Filbert,
you cannot compare 2.2.0 Alpha, which retains (or tries to retain ) WAV audio, with 2.1.4, which re-encode them to AC3. If you want to have a fair contest you must setup 2.2.0 Alpha to force audio re-encoding to AC3. Just go to 'Preferences'/'AudioVideo' and toggle off 'Keep DVD Compliant Audio'. Then load your mov. I did try to process your file with audio re-encoding to AC3: using DirectShowSource, AviSynth says "Render file, the filter graph manager won't talk to me" (do I miss a QuickTime directshow codec maybe?), while ffmpegsource does not complain but crashes anyway. Result is a AC3 file of few bytes that MuxMan accepts but the real result is a DVD with no audio. Same for 2.1.4 and 2.2.0 Alpha (they have same AVS script building and AC3 encoding routine). Is that your situation as well? Bye |

Both were compared with the same settings (Audio format AC3, keep DVD compliant audio). So with these options set I thought AVStoDVD will convert WAV to AC3, regardless wether it is DVD compliant WAV or not. So does the "Keep DVD compliant audio" option overide the "DVD Audio format" if it is compliant?
I don't get the other errors you get, so we probably have a different codec setup. As I'm on the jump I will take a deeper look into it tomorrow or monday. Greets & nice weekend, Filbert |

So the guidelines here are "everyone is assumed to be a pirate unless proven otherwise (and even then, theyre probably a pirate)"?
Also, i find it very hypocritical that yo allow tons and tons of threads about circumventing copy protection, but not even "hey i have an mkv i want to convert". The latter is clearly more serious, right? Last edited by Daemon404; 13th June 2009 at 22:18. |

Mr C, do you have any recommendation how to convert a 23.976 NTSC Progressive source to dvd without some sceenes getting choppy? PAL act's like it dropped frames, while ntsc encoding gave me an error.

About Quicktime codec, what package are you using? I am using QT Alternative, but it seems not to be very "friendly" to directshowsource. Quote:
1. Edit AviSynth script 2. Remove '#Using DGPulldown to upsize FPS' line 3. Put 'Video = Video.ChangeFPS(25)' instead. Let me know |

Concerning the not working demuxing, maybe a fake demux could be used as DV-Audio is always in WAV format (at least it worked without error): Code:
ffmpeg.exe -i "Bluescreen.cut.mov" -vn "DVD_0_Bluescreen.cut.ToFix.wav" Greets, Filbert PS. Thanx for new alpha :-) Last edited by Filbert; 16th June 2009 at 21:28. |

Hi, just tested the latest alpha, couldn't find any noticeable bugs or really any at all I think. I tried it fitting 26 videos on dvd. Worked out pretty much fine. What could be great would be more options on the menus. Here are some suggestions.
1. Customizable highlight color for thumbnails and the same when you click on the thumbnail. 2. Chapter menus 3. Be able to put text anywhere on the menu. 4. Be able to use the buttons that you created in the button generator. 5. Change the outline of the thumbnails, meaning the border. 6. Manually change the size of the thumbnail by dragging with mouse. 7. Custom title for each page/custom background picture for each page/ custom background video/music meaning be able to use different titles and different background pictures and different video/music for each page yeah. Hope you can implement in next version that would be great thanks in advance. Last edited by Milardo; 18th June 2009 at 23:37. |

@Milardo
hey mate, you are giving me works till my retirement! 1. Quite easy. Will add. 2. As I stated before, I will wait for next BatchMux release, which should support that feature. 3. I do not see a big added value, but, ok, I will add. 4. ? 5. Do you mean "frame" highlights? It is in my ToDo list since a while. Not so easy. As highlights image mask MuxMan accepts only max 8 bit bmp. For simple highlights (like a rectangle or a line) the solution is straight: 2 static bmp files (one for PAL and one for NTSC resolutions). For complex/dynamic highlights, bmp should be created at runtime, so I need a command line sw that have the capability to produce 8 bit bmp. I have not found a convenient solution yet. Any input is very appreciated. 6. See point 3 7. You love flexibility, don't you? Ok I will add a load of vector variables to DVD Menu Editor... AVStoDVD will become a RAM devourer... (jokin') Maybe you will not see everything in the next release, but stay tuned. Bye |

Just trying to make AVStoDVD the best freeware dvd authoring/making solution.
Glad you can implement those features thanks in advance. I used the button generator feature in the dvd menu making part of AVStoDVD but was unable to actually implement them in the menus themselves, couldn't find where they went and how to make them function. Oh yeah, i meant the borders/frames of the selectable motion/still buttons(where you click in the menu to watch a video), right now it is defaulted to a film style frame. I would like to use different ones like no border or ones that are colored, ones that have different decorations I hope this is clear enough if not I will post a picture.
