Hybrid(Windows/Linux/Mac): Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Selur]

Doesn't matter which if you choose a mingw or a VC12 builds.
The 16bit x264.exe needs to be renamed to x265-16bit.exe before copying it into the Hybrid folder.

The hybrid is unable to convert UT videos. Ut video codec is the only way to create BT709 uncompressed (so editable) videos with Adobe Premiere Pro.

I would make this 1080p video with better (BT709) colors.

[Gravitator]

Possible to run on Hybrid? https://github.com/ultravideo/kvazaar/releases

[Selur]

Will look into it, once it supports input via std::in/pipe.
Also it's probably not worth the trouble implementing support for it since:

Currently most of the features are turned on/off from the code on compile time, but they are
meant to be user configurable later.

[Selur]

Added some basic support for Kvazaar, but the official release will not include this support since I can't get the output muxed into an .mp4 container. (see: https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/362131-Around-the-Kvazaar-H-265-encoder)
-> support for Kvazaar will be added to the next public release once that issue has been resolved

[Selur]

Issue is resolved Kvazaars output can now be packed into an mp4 container using MP4Box.
-> next public release will include Kvazaar support.

---
Or not, mp4 muxing is still not possible (but muxing with tsMuxeR 2.5.5+ to m2ts is)

[Gravitator]

2014.01.22.1 - x265, skips selection value RDO:3 (in the console "--rd 3" ?)

[Selur]

"--rd 3" is the default, if you do not want Hybrid to hide the defaults, disable: "x265->Misc->Internals->Minimize command line"

[Gravitator]

"--rd 3" is the default

it shows that by default: --rd 2 (when you hover over)

[Selur]

check the tool-tip of the actual drop box, seems like I forgot to update the tool-tip of the label

[deadrats]

@Selur:

would you consider adding support for cuda powered mpeg-2 and vc-1 encoding? i think you said that at one time you supported all the encoding capabilities of the cuda nvenc but you removed the features. would you add them again because i want to test out cuda powered vc-1 and mpeg-2.

[Selur]

I didn't add VC-1 encoding support to the cuda binary, since NVIDA removed it shortly after they added it, see: http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/samples/3_Imaging/cudaEncode/doc/nvcuvenc.pdf
and sadly they didn't reintroduce it in later versions afaik.
(as a side note, iirc QSTranscode should allow to use QuickSync to encoder to MPEG-2&VC-1)

Cu Selur

[enim]

The results were not satisfactory when I tested encoding VC1 with nCUDA last time - a long ago.

[Selur]

btw. just released a new Hybrid version which now comes with Kvazaar, sadly MP4Box crashes when fed with Kvazaars output (see: https://github.com/ultravideo/kvazaar/issues/5)

[Gravitator]

does not want to encode MagicYUV packed into an AVI file to kvazaar

[z-machine95]

hello selur.. i have downloaded the latest x265 build from x265.eu .. but during the job crashes... this is the log file

... i use the fast preset + Motion partitioning (rectangular only)... my system is overclocked, but the default x265 build ( inside hybrid installer) don't crash even after 48 h of non-stop job! can be a problem with hybrid or there is a problem with the latest build?

@z.machines:
The x265 version which comes with latest Hybrid was compiled today "x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 0.7+150-5e104ed219c3" and it's newer than the version you used which is "x265 [info]: HEVC encoder version 0.7+142-21832083908f".

Last time I checked the x265 version from x265.ru required the Visual Studio 2012 runtimes to work properly, since they were not compiled statically. -> installing the runtimes might solve your problem

No sure where the problem is, but my guess is that the problem is with the builds for x265.ru. (I build static x265 versions using: https://github.com/jb-alvarado/media-autobuild_suite)

----------------------------------

@Gravitator:
Never heard of the codec and from what I read:

• still alpha
• closed source
• Windows only
• mainly available through the old vfw interface (no command line encoder )
• not supported by libav atm.

That aside assuming MagicYUV is installed properly and does indeed install vfw decoders, Hybrid should be able to decode and reencode such video by using Avisynth and AviSource.
-> try enabling:

• Filtering->Input->Avisynth->Always use Avisynth
• Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Misc->Prefer AvisSource for avi input

for better and cross platform support the author of the codec should provide libav patches to support his codec.

Cu Selur

Ps.: in theory the vfw interface loading of mencoder could also be used to read such files using the filter dlls, but that would require a lot of testing to figure out how codecs.conf would need to be set to work with MagicYUV and that is probably not worth the effort while the codec is still alpha.

oh sorry i haven't already checked today! thanks you so much i hope you continue to upgrade this fantastic software!

Tagging does not work on latest version 2012.02.14.1
Tried adding container tags, but whether encoding or simply muxing, tagging does not occur.

[Selur]

Which container? What OS?
Like always, see: http://www.selur.de/support

[blud7]

I'm using Windows 7, the containers I've tried are mkv and mp4.
Included debug file.

[Selur]

will look at it

[Selur]

What output do you get if you call:

"C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\MP4Box.exe" -info "F:\HTC_Inspire_4G_Desire_HD_Touch_Screen_Glass_Digitizer_LCD_Display_Repair_Replacement_Guide_new.mp4"

inside a Windows Command Prompt?

It should look similar to:

[blud7]

This is what I see

[Selur]

Did you test the new version I send you a link to?
Also it's starange that there are no tags, since the muxing call from the DebutOutput:

"C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\MP4Box.exe" -par 1=1:1 -add "C:\Users\INDEST~1\AppData\Local\Temp\HTC_IN~1.264"#video:fps=25:name=:lang="en" -brand avc1 -add "C:\Users\INDEST~1\AppData\Local\Temp\IID_1_~2.AAC"#audio:lang="en" -mpeg4 -itags tool="Hybrid 2014.02.14.1" -tmp "C:\Users\**********\AppData\Local\Temp" -new "F:\05_58_39_3710__03.mp4"

should set the language tag for aucio and video

..#video:fps=25:name=:lang="en" ...#audio:lang="en"

[blud7]

Yes I used that version, and no, I should have mentioned, the language tags weren't working either
Was using MediaInfo before to check the tags.
The same with mkv container

[Selur]

What do you mean by that, looking at the debug output, you never specified more than the language tags:

Video;;en;F:\HTC_Inspire_4G_Desire_HD_Touch_Screen_Glass_Digitizer_LCD_Display_Repair_Replacement_Guide.mp4

Did you may be, fill out the elements under Container tagging, but did not press the "Tags->Container tagginsg->Add to tag list"-button?

Cu Selur

[blud7]

Whether I click the button or check the box to add container tags on job creation nothing gets tagged.
