i am wondering how do i know if ripbot is running x264 or x264_x64.exe file?

BlindBandit · 19th March 2009, 09:59

I have a quick question about Avisynth MT, how can i tell if Ripbot264 is using this Avisynth MT script from what i put in the ffdshow Avisynth line. please tell me if the script i put is wrong & what script you are using Atak_Snajpera for Avisynth in ffdshow?

The x64 version is used on PC with 64bit architecture.

P.S. The PC also has to be running a x64 version of windows.

Ok, I have encountered some problem with the aspect ratio of a .mkv file I transcoded. The transcoded file has a wrong aspect ratio. I converted a h264 AC3 .mkv with softsubs to an AAC 2.0 h264 High4.0 profile .mp4.

Playing the original file in MPC HC ffdshow shows these values:

704x480, SAR: 213/176, DAR: 71/40

The job log shows the following two lines:

x264 [info]: 704x480 @ 23.98 fps
x264 [info]: using SAR=1/1

Playing the resulting file in MPC HC ffdshow results in:

704x480, SAR: 1/1, DAR: 22/15

I'm by no means an expert in this, but my guess would be that the original file seems to have some strange 22:15 resolution, which is stretched by the player to 16:9 because of some flag/information in the .mkv. And while converting maintains the resolution, it kills the aspect ratio.

While I realize that ripbot features the setting "Size" in the "Properties" menu where my setting was "Do not resize" and the resolution is actually the same, it makes me wonder whether .mp4 can't handle the "it's actually 16:9" Information or some kind of error on my/ripbot's side. With that in mind, shouldn't maintaining the original aspect ratio be more important then maintaining the resolution?

But I admit, that keeping the aspect ratio and omitting the information of 704*84 pixels (since the corresponding 16:9 resolution would be 704*396 instead of 704*480) seems like it's not the best deal either. So is there no way out, like e.g. the way it's handled in the original .mkv just as .mp4?

Atak_Snajpera · 19th March 2009, 21:50

@Killerattacks
select 720x480 under size and everything should be ok. Your resolution is not DVD-NTSC standard resolution. Correct sar values are only applied for 720x576 , 720x480 ,1280x1080 and 1440x1080. Rest is treated as 1:1.

Killerattacks · 19th March 2009, 21:57

ok, I'll try that. Thanks!

blobbybob · 20th March 2009, 06:23

A small request please .. could you make the chatacters on the bottom that show the progress of the encode a different colour. I find that with my old eyes a little more contrast helps a lot.
Thanks

IIRC 704x480 is a valid resolution for dvd.

heres what it says on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpeg2

Quote:

The DVD standard uses MPEG-2 video, but imposes some restrictions:

* Allowed Resolutions

720 × 480, 704 × 480, 352 × 480, 352 × 240 pixel (NTSC)
720 × 576, 704 × 576, 352 × 576, 352 × 288 pixel (PAL)

Any news on the option not kill x264 on close and leaving a bunch of empty temp directories on the drives?

Killerattacks · 20th March 2009, 18:00

The resizing trick worked! But now I noticed other issues. I guess I have no luck with video encoding...
I transcoded two different files. The first one is just 1 minute long (h264,2.0 AAC, .ass subtitles). In the resulting .mp4 the audio and subtitles are slightly off. The subtitles (dis-)appear a little bit to early. Same goes for the sound.
The other file is a 50 minutes long (h264, ac3, .ass subtitles) video, also transcoded to .mp4. Audio and subtiles are in sync but appear way to early. In the original the first spoken dialogue is at 01:10 (with the corresponding subtitle) but in the .mp4 it's at 00:23. As I said, subs and audio are in sync, but not with the video. Another strange thing: MPC HC shows a running time of 50:55 for the .mkv and the transcoded .mp4 shows only 50:08. strange.

Encoding was always set to .mp4, AAC 2.0, 1-pass CFR H264. Done on Vista buisness 64. I had the CCCP installed but deinstalled it in regards to the first post in this topic. I installed the latest ffdshow and haali media splitter manually.

I need to know more details about your source. Paste madiainfo report. I suppose your source is mkv-vfr

I'd like to second that request! I know it seems like a small thing, but it would make a big difference in ease of usability. White against pale blue really doesn't provide very good contrast.

Atak,

I am thinking about buying a PS3 for my next Blu-ray player and have a qouple questions. I read somewhere in hear that you own a PS3 and was wondering if you are able to stream blu-rays to it. If so, are you able to toggle the subtitles on/off or do they have to be burnt into the stream.

I have a home server with about 100 Blu-rays in .iso format and am looking for some type of streamer that will allow me to toggle subtitles on/off. I need this for my wife, she is hearing impaired.

Thanks

I have a small observation to report here, don't know if its been said before. When I'm converting wide screen videos for my psp, it seems if I go to change the resolutions, they are a bit off. For example, for the PSP, it has a selectable resolution of 480x270 when the actual PSP screen resolution is 480x272.

480x272 is not correct 16:9 resolution and PSP ALWAYS removes two bottom lines!

Hi,

I was wondering if anybody else is having a problem doing two movies on que? Everytime i try and do two movies overnight the second one always fail. The first movie is perfect. When i do the second movie by itself, it works perfect. Happens to me on both of my computers. One is a Phenom x2, the other is a core i7 both with vista 64, and with the latest ffdshow, avisynth, and Haali Media Spliter. I have no codec packs installed. I have attached the log. Something about enoder errors which only happens when doing two movies.
Thanks

Killerattacks · 21st March 2009, 15:54

Ok, I noticed something strange. Like I said the file shows 50:55 in MPC HC. That is the actual length. The transcoded file (via ripbot264) is 50:08. The difference is 47 seconds. Now take a look at the chapters list in the mediainfo log below. it says:

1 : 00:00:00.000 - Cellphone Reminder
2 : 00:00:00.000 - Chapter 1
3 : 00:02:21.700 - Chapter 2

But when I play the file Haali media splitter shows:

Notice the starting time of the first chapter. It's 00:46. And the first 46 seconds of the original file (the "Cellphone Reminder" chapter) contain actually only video, no audio or subtitles.

Now I'm no expert at this, but I thought that maybe it's related to Matroskas linking feature, magically embedding the first 46 seconds from another file. But even if I turn this option off in the haali splitter and open the file with WMP (or MPC HC) they both show 50:55 as runtime.

Seems to me like the encoder of the original mkv shifted the audio/subtitle-stream by the length of the first chapter.
But seems like that is not all... the video in the transcoded version at 50:08 is somewhere around 49:58~50:00. Seems like everything is messed up.

I guess that's the result of the tenthousands of things you can do with .mkv. In theory it's all nice but when you start working with it, it's all messed up. Seems like I won't re-encode any files in the near future

What encoder did you use to create this weird mkv?

b66pak · 21st March 2009, 23:03

@ Killerattacks i think you have a VFR mkv...

do this:

in haali installation folder you will find mkv2vfr.exe (you can use windows search to locate the folder!)...copy your .mkv to this folder...open a command promt and run this command line:

mkv2vfr.exe my_mkv.mkv my_avi.avi my_timecodes_v1.txt

post the content of the .txt file here...
