[HEVC] x265.EXE: mingw builds

[ozok]

I used hvc extension and mp4box seems to be okay with it.

And answer to my previous question, Osmo4 that comes with GPAC framework plays it fine.

[vhelp]

followup.. what is the prefered audio format for this type of muxing ? aac, ac3, wav, .. ? and what (prefered) tool to use to generate the audio.

[vhelp]

i tried a wav file, didn't work, won't accept either a/v. will search google on mp4box to learn how to use. thanks.

MP4Box -add video.h265:FMT=HEVC -fps 29.970 -add audio.aac video-out.mp4
MP4Box -add video.h264 -fps 29.970 -add audio.aac video-out.mp4

Rename video.hm10 to video.h265 for HEVC add :FMT=HEVC after the extension

Or see my video on youtube

I don't think the gray and lack of contrast is a colorspace issue but a problem with mpc-hc. If I open the .hm10 file in Virtualdub then the background is 99% white. The bottom picture is a jpeg saved from mpc-hc and is 92% white. I'm also having a problem with mpc-hc not closing but running in the background.

I also notice in GraphStudio that I have to video renderers.

I remembered that NVIDIA updated my drivers a couple of days ago and I guess it Set Dynamic Range to 235 instead of 255. That seemed to fix the problem. Strange thing is that it only showed up dull in the .hm10 file and not in the avi file which led me to think it was the decoder or something.

@vhelp, I'll download your app and give it a try.

I also reinstalled the GPAC build and created an mp4 file. It doesn't accept the .hm10 file though. I have to rename it hvc for mp4box to create an mp4.


EDIT: ...and the quality is astounding for a 292 frame 1080p 466kb file

oh, so this is a 2-pass mp4box process.

p1: mp4box -add h:\hevc.x265.music.video.hm10.h265:fmt=hevc -fps 23.976 -add h:\audio.aac -new h:\video.mp4
p2: mp4box -add h:\video.h265 -fps 23.976 -add h:\audio.aac h:\video.mp4

didn't work. only plays audio. same problem with videos from strongene lentoid. problem follows me everywhere

[ozok]

I managed to get my GUI to pre-alpha status. You can download it from https://bitbucket.org/ozok/x265gui (9 mb)

Package includes x265.exe, ffmpeg.exe, mp4box and GUI. First select source file. It can be raw but you must select "Source is raw" and specify its properties. Otherwise, source will be converted to yuv. Then if you selected to encode audio it will encode audio to aac. As next step it will mux them to mp4 and delete temp files if you selected this too.

As I said earlier, I'm not familiar with x265's options, so I sorta added a "preset" system where user enters his/her commands and saves these commands as presets to use them later. So, if you think you have x265 command line options, I can add them for everyone's usage.

There is probably a huge number of bugs, so bug reports and suggestions are welcome.

And thats how it looks:

Which codec you have installed? LAV Splitter is on?



Thanks ozok for GUI

[vhelp]

i am starting a new thread, topic 'muxing...' shortly, under the Audio section. look for it in few minutes..thanks

[deadrats]

@ozok: nice job, testing it out now.

[El Heggunte]

@el heggunte I tried as you suggested and muxed raw h265 stream to mp4 container. How do I play this file? I couldn't play it graphstudio but I can play raw file with graphstudio using Lentoid decoder. And I don't know how to configure other players (MPC-HC for instance).

Hey people, please start paying MORE ATTENTION !!

[!-- SNIPP --]

Anyway, now I have the most recent "nightly" MP4Box, and after remuxing a test video, I could play it in Graphstudio with the help from Strongene MPEG-4 Demultiplexor (mp4demux.dll)

followup.. what is the prefered audio format for this type of muxing ? aac, ac3, wav, .. ? and what (prefered) tool to use to generate the audio.

With MP4Box, you can use MP1, MP2, MP3, AAC, AC3, and AMR.

BUT the Strongene MP4Splitter doesn't support AC3.

[Trepack]

I have nothing...

[El Heggunte]

^ YMMV

@ vhelp again: you just must be sure that the right filters are being used at the right time.

[DarrellS]

I have nothing...

I have nothing either but if you've installed the newest Strongene decoder then it should automatically use it when you try to play the file since it is registered in your system. If you've installed the newest decoder and it doesn't automatically load when you try and play the mp4 (or hm10) then I assume you can load it manually in the box you showed.


Sorry, multiplexor

That's clear, if not the file will not play, The thing is that I have to load it into the player if no other codec to play it?

I would say it is not logical

If you tell me that there are two or more and you prefer each other over time and effort if you want

[El Heggunte]

LAV Splitter, AV Splitter and Haali Media Splitter actually are SETS (or "suites") of demuxers.

However there is no such thing as a "perfect" or *comprehensive* demuxer

Currently the MP4 and FLV demuxers of LAV and AV do connect to a source file that contains HEVC, but they're unable to connect to the Lentoid HEVC decoder Therefore, if you use an advanced player like MPC-HC or PotPlayer,
you can use the Strongene demuxers only when you need them,
instead of disabling the MP4 or FLV demuxer in the AV/LAV splitter "forever".

Regarding ** HEVC in ASF **:

1) does NOT work in Windows Media Player ( because WMP is not a player )

2) ATM it works fine with both Microsoft's WM ASF Reader and GDCL WMV/WMA Parser.
OTOH, both AV Splitter and LAV Splitter make the host application crash if you choose them
( because of "a division by zero" error or something )

[DarrellS]

I installed the latest Lentoid decoder with the mp4demux.dll and the needed files are automatically loaded in mpc-hc. If I load an mp4 without x265 then the correct files are loaded to play that mp4.

[DarrellS]

Now if we can get Stdin from pipe then I will be tickled pink. I'm so close to being able to use the x265 encoder in Virtualdub but without stdin - it is not possible. I can load the yuv file into Virtualdub with avisynth and do all the editing I want but I can't encode the edited file.

I can encode with the external encoder using this command and it will give me a output.hm10 file but obviously it is from the original yuv file and not the edited file.

--q 20 --keyint 24 --frames all --input "C:\Tools\x265\input.y4m" --rect --max-merge 1 --hash 0 --no-rdo --no-rdoq --tu-intra-depth 1 --tu-inter-depth 2 --no-tskip --no-tskip-fast --no-wpp --output "C:\Tools\x265\outputfile.hm10"

If I could use...

--q 20 --keyint 24 --frames all --input - --rect --max-merge 1 --hash 0 --no-rdo --no-rdoq --tu-intra-depth 1 --tu-inter-depth 2 --no-tskip --no-tskip-fast --no-wpp --output %(outputname).hm10

...then I could encode the edited yuv and if I could use...

--q 20 --keyint 24 --frames all --input - --rect --max-merge 1 --hash 0 --no-rdo --no-rdoq --tu-intra-depth 1 --tu-inter-depth 2 --no-tskip --no-tskip-fast --no-wpp --output "%(tempvideofile)"
%(outputname).hm10

...then I could add an audio encoder and a muxer and create a finished mp4, mkv, flv or whatever.

[ozok]

Yes, stdin would be perfect and we could avoid huge temp yuv files.

@DarrellS, where are those command functions in vdub ? i have v1.9.11

[vhelp]

i thought i would add this notation here, just in case others are experiencing the same playback issue pheonima as i am currently.

if you download and install the Osmo software player, it will playblack the following (any -one- of these encoded-to-.mp4) succesfully:
(note 1, you don't have to rename the source file anymore, but if you do, just pick the encoding string below that matches)
(note 2, dont' forget to include the :FMT=HEVC or it won't work correcty)
(note 3, and don't forget to update your -fps according to your video's frame rate)

mp4box -add h:\video1.h265:FMT=HEVC -fps 23.976 -add h:\audio.aac -new h:\video.mp4

.or.

mp4box -add h:\video1.hm10:FMT=HEVC -fps 23.976 -add h:\audio.aac -new h:\video.mp4

but we still need to know how to resolve/fix the issue with playing back on *all* software players, those that might have the same problem as i am having over here:
https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/358035-muxing-audio-and-video-from-hevc-encode-to-f...72#post2259872

i do not know where you can download the Osmo player. perhaps someone does and can post the link!
