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

[Selur]

Mode Avisynth showing filtering, but no simple mode.

Normal Preview, without using Avisynth can't show ColorMatrix adjustments because Mplayer doesn't support ColorMatrix.

and

a. what happens if you call:

inside a windows command prompt
b. try if it helps to enable 'Filtering->Avisynth->Misc->Misc->Disable distributor()' (which is enabled by default; you might want to reset your default settings)

what happens if you call

I noticed that he did not like '.mkv' output (standard '.mp4' goes)

[Selur]

I noticed that he did not like '.mkv' output (standard '.mp4' goes)

??? no clue what you are speaking of,....

looking at the output it seems like mencoder has some problem with the avisynth script -> try the to enabled 'Disable distributor()'

[Gravitator]

I noticed that he did not like '.mkv' output (standard '.mp4' goes)

??? no clue what you are speaking of,....

it's about DivX '-qp'.

[Selur]

Got no problem here using DivX265 with constant quantizer and mkv output in Hybrid.
iirc. DivX265 itself always outputs a file inside a mp4 container.

[Gravitator]

failure

[Selur]

Value is outside DivX HEVC Profile: Bitrate. Must not exceed 12000

Seems like DivX265 internally uses the profiles from http://labs.divx.com/system/files/DivX_HEVC_Profiles.pdf, wasn't aware of that, since one can't specify a profile manually.
For 1280x720 and below stick with a maximum of 6MBit
For 1920x1080 and below stick with a maximum of 12MBit
For 4k and below stick with a maximum of 40Mbit.

-> will add some code for this in the future

Cu Selur

[Selur]

@graviator: send you a link to a test version which should restrict the bit rate and check the resolution

[Gravitator]

Please note that the video files created by DivX / HEVC through Hybrid receive defective or something ...
In the initial position when decoding with squares (as if starts P frames)




The guy with the GUI for DivX is not noticed.

I can reproduce the problem, but I'm not sure if it's a bug in Hybrid or a problem with the decoding.

[Gravitator]

Any! It turns out the first frame of this and just do not notice at a fast speed (faster processor)

That record

[Gravitator]

I can reproduce the problem, but I'm not sure if it's a bug in Hybrid or a problem with the decoding.

Maybe that does not adhere to the rules Hybrid when creating HEVC (first shots against the rules? I>B>P)
When encoding or when packaged in a container there is an error

=> seems to only happen with the first frame and your input file. (tested 4 other input files and they all came out fine)
Won't change anything in Hybrid because of this since I got no clue why this only happens with your source file and not with others and why it only happens with mencoder. (conclusion for now: it's not a bug in Hybrid it self, but some sort of incompatibility of your source and mencoder, but I can't write a workaround for it since I have no clue what's triggering the problem <> what makes your sample special)

why there is a call 10bit, from simple 8bit version?

[Selur]

why there is a call 10bit, from simple 8bit version?

• Hybrid assumes that the x265.exe is the 8bpp version and the x265-16bit.exe is the 16bpp version.
• The last versions Hybrid was released by me were all 0.9+121.
• You replaced the x265 which came with Hybrid with another version and messed up. (by replacing the x265.exe with the one that should be named x265-16bit.exe)

-> not Hybrids fault, but yours

[Gravitator]

-> not Hybrids fault, but yours

Exactly! Every time rename and that confusion has turned

[Marchand]

Selur

Releases for us to test the Hybrid version enabling 4.2.0-4.2.2-4.4.4 (8 bit) and 4.2.0-4.2.2-4.4.4 (10 bit) to HEVC-265.

[Selur]

@Marchand:
From what I know:

x265 supports:
4:2:0
4:2:2
8bit, 10bit and 12bit as does Hybrid by using it (to be frank, 12bit encoding is broken in the public release, but fixed locally)

DivX265, Kvazaar and f265 do only support 8bit:
4:2:0
(Hybrid only supports DivX265 and Kvazaar atm.)

->
a. I'm unclear which encoder Hybrid should support to offer 4:4:4 H.265 encoding
Since you seem to know something I don't please share your knowledge.

b. Aside from 4:4:4 Hybrid already supports what is possible.

[VideoFanatic]

Could you please tell me what settings I need to use to mux a 1080i h264 .ts file with AAC to the same format but with AC3 instead of AAC audio? So only the audio should be re-encoded.

[Selur]

Assuming you start from the normal defaults:

1. set 'Main->Handling->Video handling' to 'passthrough'
2. set 'Main->Handling->Audio handling' to 'auto add (first)'
3. enable 'Audio->Main->Reencode'
4. set 'Audio->Main->Audio Encoding->Audio format' to 'ac3'
5. select the target bit rate for the audio ( 'Audio->Main->Audio Encoding->Bitrate (kbit/s)')
6. optional: (too boost the audio volume)
   • select 'Audio->Main->Filtering'
   • select 'Audio->Main->Audio Filtering->Gain->auto'
   • set 'Audio->Main->Audio Filtering->DRC' to 'Film Standard'
7. load your source ('Main->File Input')
8. set your output ('Main->Output File')
9. add the settings to the current job queue (Main->Add to queue)
10. start the queue (Jobs->Job Queue->Start)

Should do it. (if your input has multiple streams use 'auto add (all)' instead of 'auto add (first)')
There are tons of additional options, but the steps above are the basic. (read the tool-tips on 'Audio handling' and other options to better understand Hybrids workflow)

1. afaik x265 doesn't support 4:4:4 encoding, try in a console if you like to know for sure.

2. Not sure what you why you posted those meadiainfo outputs for the two files, both files are 4:2:2,....

Releases for us to test the Hybrid version enabling 4.2.0-4.2.2-4.4.4 (8 bit) and 4.2.0-4.2.2-4.4.4 (10 bit) to HEVC-265.

The option is not enabled in Hybrid?
You will put in the new version?

You are right, I mixed up some stuff.

If you remux the raw stream into a mp4 or mkv container before feeding it to Hybrid it should work.
RAW support will probably have to wait until I find some tile to read up on how to parse H.265 headers and write some code for FrameCounter to support H.265.

[Gravitator]

Repeated error packaging DivX / HEVC in mp4 (different samples)

[Selur]

muxing call itself looks fine, what happens if you call:

"C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\MP4Box.exe" -par 1=1:1 -add "C:\Users\PARADO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\DIVX_1~1.265"#video:fps=23.976:name=:lang="en" -brand hvc1 -chap "C:\Users\PARADO~1\AppData\Local\Temp\14_40_30_9010__02.chp" -itags tool="Hybrid 2014.05.08.1" -tmp "C:\Users\Paradox-KZ\AppData\Local\Temp" -new "H:\14_40_30_9010__03.mp4"

also attached a 64bit compile of the latest MP4Box version

[Gravitator]

HEVC Import results: 418 samples - Slices: 4 I 106 P 308 B - 418 SEI - 4 IDR

Discontinued working MP4Box.exe - does not work (reports Win7x64)
This happens with "-aqo 4"

[Selur]

if it doesn't happen with any other setting my guess is that, DivX265s output is either not HEVC conform if that setting is used or MP4Box has some problem with such a stream
(-> doesn't seem to be a bug I can fix, since it's not a bug in Hybrid)
