Nice tool buzzqw!

Tried to back up an episode of King of Queens with it (PAL, 25 FPS, DVD-Source, interlaced)

Add automatic deinterlacing & a queue list and i think you´re done :-) Shutdown when done would also be very welcome :-)

Update 0.2 www.64k.it/andres/data/a/AutoMen02.exe (65.5kb)

fixed: wmv8 encoding
added: mpeg2 encoding
fixed: the encoded file name is now based on input file name+_automen (es. input file is jewel.avi -> on mp4 will be named as jewel_automen.mp4)


@killerhex

thank for the bug (but another time please say something about testing wmv8...)

I find the File Size and Video Quality parameters a little confusing.

I think I would rather see a selection that allows you to chose if you want to encode by File Size or Video Quality. If you select Video Quality it ecodes single pass and the slider sets the quantizer. If you select File Size the slider lets you set the filesize.

Encode by Filesize
--350M
--700M
--1.4G
--4.7G
--Custom....
Encode by Quality
--Poor (Small)
--Fair
--Good
--Very Good
--Excellent

I love the concept!

this division is false, you could have a very big file while quality is simply trash.. and also have small file with awesome quality

I don't want to add a Quality based encoding, for this simply select quality 6 is always the "near best" settings for 1 pass encode

in next update i added queue! (a very basic queue fuction)

It's possible that you have left out the MediaInfo command line utility. This is exactly what happened to me when I got too eager and forgot to copy that into the AutoMEn directory.


@buzzqw:

Is there any chance we could get a choice of resolution? It's a bit more of a common sense thing when helping choose settings.

I believe that was my point: you select either File Size and select a Size or you select Video Quality and select the quantizer.

I am not sure I know what to do with the File Size selection once I select the quality setting of 6 (one pass encoding). Or is the one pass encoding not Constant Quality?

no pass is crf/qp/cq or what ever constant quality encoding, all encoding are or 1 pass or 2 pass at bitrate based on final size

Quote:

here the point! i haven't added fixed quant encoding (and maybe i will never add it)

Quote:

choose your fixed final size, select your profile and automen (and mencoder) will be its best to reach this size, or in 1 pass bitrate based encoding or in 2 pass bitrate based encoding

Now I get it! I assumed that single pass was constant quality like avi.net, Dr Divx and autogk. Now your comment makes perfect sense.

Very nice! Thanks.

Now I have another request which might not be in line with how you want the app to exist but I'll throw it out there anyway.

Devices like the PSP can only decode AVC at a certain level/profile. Any chance you could add something to lock AVC to certain levels/profiles? Like.. the PSP is supposed to support Main Profile now and I believe its level is 3.

i read the stdout of
mplayer.exe -ss 00:00:XX -vf cropdetect -vo null -ao null -endpos XX+5
where XX is a random time (not beginning) of playing duration

isn't perfect.. but .. i hope for no errors..

it can be reiterated with several samples...

yes!

it's only a 5 seconds analisys so it's fast and from my sample tested accurated

as you said from stdout i parse the vf crop values, and if not present i set it to 0 (-vf crop=0:0:0:0)
