HDTV(H.264) to x264

[kornhulio]

Hello,

i have a new receiver, its the kathrein ufs 910, it is a HD receiver which althogh allows me to record hd streams on an extern hdd. it splitts the file in 2 gig parts because the harddisk have to format as fat 32.
the files are saved in a kind of a ts stream called, trp.

so i first join them, then i use tsremux to make them as real ts streams.

then i would like to encode the stream to 720p in x264 with the ac3 stream in an mkv container.
but every tool or programm i wanted to use was faild to convert the ts stream.
when i record a non hd show, i can convert it with staxrip or what tool i want to use.

Codec : AVC
Codec/Info : MPEG-4 AVC
Codec profile : Main@L4.0
Breite : 1920 Pixel
Höhe : 1088 Pixel
Bildseitenverhältnis : 16/9

can anyone help me?

thank you.

greets korn hulio

Try installing Haali media splitter.

[kornhulio]

with taht tool, i can see qhat is include that ts conatiner, but when i click encode to xvid, it stands at 0,0% all the time, without an error message. allthough i would like to cut a few minuts at the beginning of the movie.

[jagabo]

After installing Haali can you play the ts file with Windows Media Player?

[kornhulio]

no i can not

[jagabo]

It sounds like you now need an h.264 decoder. I believe Staxrip uses VFW so you can try downloading ffdshow and use its x264 decoder and encoder.

[kornhulio]

i have installed the h264 codec, but it still don't work

only VLC show the right resolutiuon, but don't start with the movie

[jagabo]

VLC does its own file parsing, decompression, etc. So it doesn't require (or even use) installed VFW or DirectShow codecs. It's rather perplexing that VFW won't play your file.

Maybe you could post a short (5 or 10 seconds) sample recording and someone can take a look at it.

[kornhulio]

ok thank you i try to split it

[kornhulio]

http://rapidshare.com/files/80736302/asd.ts.html

ok with a tool called avidemux i could splitt a small part of it.

and i was even able to watch it in media player classic

[jagabo]

The file you uploaded has a .ts extension (mpeg transport stream) but it is an AVI file. I don't think it's really representative of your source.

h.264 is rather difficult to handle with VFW. You might try using AviSynth's DirectShowSource() filter and opening the AVS script in Staxrip.

[kornhulio]

yes i know ist h264 inside. it is from a dvb-s2 source.

ok i try to use this why. but tomorror, i have to go now. but thank you for your help.

[poisondeathray]

avidemux had no problems encoding your sample

just set audio to "copy" (it was already AC3), container to MKV, and video to x264 (and adjust the settings like bitrate, #passes, etc...)

[jagabo]

I had a "preview" of 2.4 installed and it didn't have an MKV output option. I removed it and installed the final 2.4 release and it does indeed support MKV output.

[kornhulio]

ok so i have tried, to encode it with avidemux, i made all settings and start to ence, but after one minuth there comes a message, that there was a fatal error but there is no file output with a message what is wrong

[kornhulio]

does anyone know a homepage where i can upload the debug text

[jagabo]

Just paste or attach it into a post here.

It looks like your source video uses PAFF which is apparently not supported by AviDemux. Programs that don't support PAFF often crash when it's encountered.

CoreAVC supports PAFF and I believe the latest ffdshow does too. But I don't know if there's any way to coerce AviDemux into using an external decoder.

Wouldn't Avisynth work? Just pass a 1-line script, "DirectShowSource("source")", to AviDemux.

The knowledge of encoding, decoding on this site is far greater than my own so excuse me if this is not related.

I saw that you were trying to encode to H.264 and that at one point it said FFmpeg was listed and that your processor allows SSSE3.


I do know that after a certain version there seems to be a problem with H.264 and a few dual core processors. Some work, some don't My Core 2 Duo and a Pentium D. What happens when I test it is that it starts to encoded, or starts the encoding procedure but then it crashes.


This thread describes the issue, and this thread will tell you what was the last version of FFmpeg that was known to work. I have posted in the tread and they list what versions I tested as well. I go them from the mirror download here.

That's what I thought but AviDemux doesn't seem to open AVS scripts. Maybe someone who knows the program better than I do can give instructions.

[poisondeathray]

To use Avidemux with AVS scripts, you have to use avsproxy

1) Start "AVS Proxy GUI" (through the start menu => avidemux programs menu)
2) Load up your AVS script
3) Startup avidemux, under file there is an option "connect to avs proxy"

I find this process alot slower (added steps and processing wise) than using avisynth & vdub

@jagabo - why do you think avidemux isn't able to process the entire original source? It is able to cut a clip and encode that....I'm not following why it shouldn't be able to do the entire source video?

In Copy (remux) mode AviDemux doesn't have to decompress the frames and hence never sees the PAFF. To resize and reencode it must first decompress the frames.

I don't understand all the expert programming jargon or what PAFF is, I'm just trying to learn some stuff here...

Why not cut off a "clip" that is 99.99% of the original source and encode that?

How does the clip that kornhulio provided differ from the original source (besides file length)?

or is there something else that I'm missing?

Looking at the log that was posted, the first frame with PAFF is #3436:

Editor: Last Decoding2 failed for frame 3436
[lavc] PAFF interlacing is not implemented

Maybe the AVI file that was posted didn't include any of the frames with PAFF.

By the way, I was unable to find the AVS Proxy GUI at first. So I uninstalled AviDemux and resinstalled it. It was then that I saw Avi Proxy GUI wasn't installed by default. This might help the OP.

[kornhulio]

ok thank you for all your post, i do want to convert only a part of it, the comercial at the beginning and the end i even cutted with avidemux.

i try it with avs

[kornhulio]

it don't load it in, there is the msg:
