Error "No video sequence header*found".
Used video file: MKV MPEG-4/AVC/H.264
How to fix this error?
I need to make d2v project from this MKV video file for HCEnc.
SOLUTION:
Easier solution is Avisynth script.
DVD-Video standard:
Video = DirectShowSource("D:\Movies\movie name.avi") - Video source
Video = Video.ConvertToYV12()
Video = Video.AddBorders(0,84,0,84) - set up black frame on video
Video = Video.Spline16Resize(720,576)
return Video

DGIndex is for MPEG2 sources, and doesn't support MKV
DGAVCIndex is for AVC sources, and doesn't support MKV
Either demux the MKV and use DGAVCIndex, or use another method like FFMS2 or L-Smash to make an .avs script for input into HCEnc -
Tell me any program which make .avs script.

How to make avs script with avs2dvd?
I try to encode video with avs2dvd (HCEnc) and this give bad results. -
It makes it for youOriginally Posted by Mark22
Or you can use notepad or avspmod and write it yourself
In what way were they "bad" ? Be more specific
What are the source details and destination details ? (e.g. NTSC DVD? PAL DVD? HD MPEG2 ? blu-ray )
What are you using HCEnc for specifically ?
Use mediainfoxp if you don' t know about the source details -
When I tell "bad result" I thought "bad resolution".
I prefer HCEnc because I think that gives the best image quality.

AVStoDVD is good program for me but is it support 720x576 resolution?
Another problem is that it does not convert DTS to AC3.
If AVStoDVD doesn't support 720x576 my simple question is how to make .d2v or .avs from .mkv for HCEnc?
DGindex don't support MKV. When convert MKV to MPEG with e.g. TMPGEnc I don't need HCEnc.
But HCEnc give better image quality than TMPGEnc this is reason why I insist on HCEnc.
Any program who make AVS script from MKV and how?
Why HCEnc support only .d2v and .avs?Last edited by Mark22; 21st Jan 2015 at 07:09.

You did not give us a complete mediainfo report. You gave us only an image of the general display window, not the details. According to that image, your video is very low bitrate h264, 1080x532 at 23.976 fps.Originally Posted by Mark22
1080x532 is a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. DVD cannot be encoded at a 2.4:1 aspect ratio. DVD can be encoded only at a 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio. Your image will not completely fill a 16x9 screen, no matter how it is encoded. In DVD, the image will be resized for a 720x576 PAL DVD frame and will be letterboxed when displayed as DVD 16x9.
That's your only setting? Where are the others?Originally Posted by Mark22
We don't have complete information on your source video. But in the bottom image the video appears to be encoded and displayed correctly. It is a letterboxed 2.4:1 image inside a 16:9 DVD frame.Originally Posted by Mark22
Yes.Originally Posted by Mark22
I don't know if AVS2DVD can do that or not. I haven't used it for years. What were your audio settings?Originally Posted by Mark22
You can't make a .d2v from an mkv. But AVS2DVD will open the file for you with its own avs script. In Avisynth, you can write an .avs script yourself and use FFMS2 to open an mkv and use the script to input the file into HCenc. HCenc works only with decoded input from a .d2v or an .avs script output. It does not decode source video. Also, HCenc will encode only the video. It does not encode audio. You will have to demux the audio and use a different program to process the audio and join it to your video.Originally Posted by Mark22
That's debatable, depending on the video and processing, as there are other good MPEG encoders, but HCenc is certainly a good encoder.Originally Posted by Mark22
Your video is 23.976 fps, which is not valid for DVD. HCenc can apply pulldown (telecine) to bring the frame rate to 25fps.
You will have to ask the developer about that. HCenc is designed as an encoder. It encodes. It does not decode. Your mkv has to be decoded before it can be re-encoded as MPEG.Originally Posted by Mark22

In the 1st avstodvd screenshot, change "video aspect ratio" to 16:9
-
No change and I have CRT TV not widescreen TV.
I want 720x576 be on full screen. -
Not possible, unless you crop the video / zoom in , or distort the picture (make everything tall & skinny)Originally Posted by Mark22
2.4:1 is wider than 16:9 (1.78) or 4:3 (1.33). So you will always have letter boxing

With MainConcept is on full screen:

That's the wrong way to do itOriginally Posted by Mark22
Did you notice the problem? Are "Egg heads" normal ?
Circles become ovals . Do you drive a car on "oval" wheels ? -
I noticed.
AVStoDVD doing the right thing? Is more properly 4:3 or 16:9?Last edited by Mark22; 21st Jan 2015 at 12:48.

It looks about right. Keeping the aspect ratio is the proper way to do it, otherwise you distort it.Originally Posted by Mark22
16:9 is "better" if you have a 16:9 display , because more active image area is used instead of letterbox
From a 2.4:1 source, a 4:3 DVD would have about 720x272 (so 272 px of height of active image area, the rest is black letterbox). A 16:9 DVD would have about 720x368 , about 35% more height data) . DVD only supports 4:3 and 16:9 -
Again, thank you very much!
What is resolution of "egg heads" video?
How MainConcept create this "wrong" resolution? -
Resolution of "egg head" video is done by resizing 1280x532 to 720x576 directly. No letter box (no black bars)Originally Posted by Mark22
Think of it like a 2.4:1 wide "rectangle" is "squished" into a 1.25:1 "box" (because 720/576 = 1.25)
DVD's do not use "square pixels" either; A normal 4:3 DVD will "unsquish" that 1.25:1 into proper 4:3 AR (1.33:1) . That's why there needs to be letterboxing to keep the aspect ratio -
"Egghead", meaning a wide image that is squeezed horizontally or stretched vertically. It would make round objects look like upright eggs.Originally Posted by Mark22
Normal image 2.4:1 aspect ratio:
2.4:1 aspect ratio squeezed into 4:3 display ....
The encoder probably did it bacause you told it to.- My sister Ann's brother -
