Batch Convert AVI/OGM/MKV to DVD (anime)

[Matryx]

Yep I got it. I think I know how to author this. I hope it works with DVDLab Pro.

Thanks for a great guide

[aktee]

Wohoo! No problem man =).

[Matryx]

It seems like you have to press a Key everytime you finish encoding 1 video file. What do I have to change in the BatchConvert.bat to just make it go straight through.

[aktee]

omg! i completely forgot to remove that!
sorry, i was testing it and forgot to remove...

just remove the line
echo.pause

sorry man, i`ll remove it from the tutorial fiist thing in the morning.

thx for reminding me...

LanczosResize(688,352,0,1,560,430)
AddBorders(16,64,16,64)

I want to use this resize that I got from FitCD. How would I enter these in the batchconvert?

[aktee]

for %%x in (*.avi) do (
echo.AVISource^("%sourcevideo%\%%x"^)
echo.%resize%Resize^(%width%,%height%)
echo.AddBorders^(%leftright%,%topbottom%,%leftright%,%topbottom%^)
echo.ConvertToYV12^(^)
) > "%%~nx.avs"

for

for %%x in (*.avi) do (
echo.AVISource^("%sourcevideo%\%%x"^)
echo.%resize%Resize^(%width%,%height%^, 0,1,560,430^)
echo.AddBorders^(%leftright%,%topbottom%,%leftright%,%topbottom%^)
echo.ConvertToYV12^(^)
) > "%%~nx.avs"

and just replace the values at the top.

[Matryx]

So it should look like this right

:: Resize Value (Fullscreen is 660, 440 - Widescreen is 660, 330)
@set width=688
@set height=352

:: AddBorders Value (Fullscreen is 20, 30 - Widescreen is 75, 30)
@set topbottom=16
@set leftright=64

or do I set topbottom at 64 and leftright at 16?

for %%x in (*.ogm) do (
echo.AVISource^("%sourcevideo%\%%x"^)
echo.%resize%Resize^(%width%,%height%^, 0,1,560,430^)
echo.AddBorders^(%leftright%,%topbottom%,%leftrigh t%,%topbottom%^)
echo.ConvertToYV12^(^)
) > "%%~nx.avs"

[Matryx]

Seems like it doesnt work. When I put it into DVDLab is say its the wrong frame size

Cause:Wrong frame size
You can enable non-DVD size in Properties
Size 528x48 FPS:29.97 Aspect: 4:3

[aktee]

:: AddBorders Value (Fullscreen is 20, 30 - Widescreen is 75, 30)
@set topbottom=64
@set leftright=16

It should work like that.

[Matryx]

It seems like both of them dont work for some reason. Tried it both ways and got the same error message

[aktee]

did it encode properly?
did you test the generated AVS files before encoding?

because I just tested both and it's 720*480.

:: Resize type (Bicubic, Lanczos, Lanczos4).
@set resize=Lanczos

:: Resize Value (Fullscreen is 660, 440 - Widescreen is 660, 330)
@set width=688
@set height=352

:: AddBorders Value (Fullscreen is 20, 30 - Widescreen is 75, 30)
@set topbottom=64
@set leftright=16

for %%x in (*.avi) do (
echo.AVISource^("%sourcevideo%\%%x"^)
echo.%resize%Resize^(%width%,%height%^,0,1,560,430 ^)
echo.AddBorders^(%leftright%,%topbottom%,%leftrigh t%,%topbottom%^)
echo.ConvertToYV12^(^)
) > "%%~nx.avs"

[Matryx]

i dont know if it matters but its ogm file
Yeah i tested it doesnt work for some reason. Ill try again and see what happens

[Matryx]

Nope tried it again it's not working. I'm trying the opening scene for gundam since its only about 1 min 30 secs long. It still got the same specs as the other one. I notice that when I use the mainencoding.bat it converts really fast. It's almost instant. What is weird also is that the output file Opening3_video.m2v was only 2.5mb

[aktee]

LOL!!! IT'S OGM?!
It's completely different!! LOL!!!

Did you used the OGM tutorial or the AVI one? Because you know that the 2 are different.

But did you try opening the video? Watching it after the encode.

[Matryx]

yeah i'm using the ogm tutorial. I tried opening but I only got a blank 9 sec screen

[aktee]

Okay.. hmm..
open
\encodedvideo\batch\batch_for_opening3_video.bat
with notepad.

Delete all lines starting with "DEL".

Save, and run the batch.

It should encode.. and if it still renders blank 9 sec screen,
try opening the AVS File..
And try opening the AVI file too.

and last thing, GSPOT the AVI file..

[Matryx]

you do mean OGM file right?

Still didnt work. Getting the blank screen still.
Opened avi with GSpot everything looks fine

[aktee]

no no, when after deleting all lines beginning with DEL.. The temporary files should not be deleted.. That includes the AVI which is being demuxed from the OGM..

There should be an AVI file in the \encodedvideo folder, after running the batch_for...

[Matryx]

actually Im getting this when I open the mpv file

[aktee]

Ahhh Ahh!
Now that's changes everything!
I'm a bit surprised you didn't open it when you saw that something was wrong. hahaha.

Okay.. open the AVS file with Media Player. It will give you the same message (just open it anyway just to be sure).

Then open it again but with NOTEPAD. Copy and paste here.

and tell me the full name of the AVI..

[Matryx]

I get this

The avi is called

Opening3.avi

The orginal file is

Opening3.ogm

[aktee]

Hey.
You forgot what's written in the AVS file..

Seems like you don't have mp3 audios in the OGM. Are you sure you have mp3 audio?

Open the OGM with GSPOT. It should be written in there.

[Matryx]

I thought you meant open the AVS file with Media Player. My mistake.

AVS file contains

AVISource("C:\OGMSource\Opening3.ogm")
LanczosResize(688,352, 0,1,560,430)
AddBorders(16,64,16,64)
ConvertToYV12()

I do have mp3 audio.

[aktee]

Well. This is friggin strange =).

How about I tell you my FTP and you upload it? (it's only 15mb, should take... 5 mins).

I won't sleep today as I have alot of things to do, so i'll resolve the problem right after you upload it.
After this message, check your PM!

[Matryx]

ok tell me which files you want me to send you

[aktee]

Bahahaha.
My bad.
I found out what's the problem..
When I posted what you should write for Lanczos... I based myself on the AVI tutorial (I completely forgot you was using OGM).
Both of them are really different.

A little sidenote as well, is that the opening is quite different.
there's only..
1 video, 1 audio, 1 sub, as opposed to the 1 video, 2 audio, 1 sub.

The screenshot you gave me above is because MediaPlayer automatically opens audio files depending on the filename.
when opening
Music.Avi
it will also open
Music_sound1.mp3
music_sound3.mp3

In our case, it failed because Opening3_audio2.mp3 was ACTUALLY a subtitle file! LOL!
That's why It was 2kb instead of the 2,3mb.

So. How to fix this?

:: Resize type (Bicubic, Lanczos, Lanczos4).
@set resize=Lanczos

:: Resize Value (Fullscreen is 660, 440 - Widescreen is 660, 330)
@set width=688
@set height=352

:: AddBorders Value (Fullscreen is 20, 30 - Widescreen is 75, 30)
@set topbottom=64
@set leftright=16

for %%x in (*.ogm) do (
echo.AVISource^("%encodedvideo%\%%~nx.avi"^)
echo.%resize%Resize^(%width%,%height%^,0,1,560,430 ^)
echo.AddBorders^(%leftright%,%topbottom%,%leftrigh t%,%topbottom%^)
echo.ConvertToYUY2^(^)
) > "%%~nx.avs"

Save, open it.

open \encodedvideo\batch\batch_for_Opening3.bat
WITH NOTEPAD

modify the first line.

"d:\program files\ogmtools\ogmdemuxer.exe" tracks "D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\Opening3.ogm" 0:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3.avi" 1:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3_audio1.mp3" 2:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3_audio2.mp3" 3:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3_subs.srt"

to

"d:\program files\ogmtools\ogmdemuxer.exe" tracks "D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\Opening3.ogm" 0:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3.avi" 1:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3_audio1.mp3" 2:"D:\NarutoDVD\fullmetalpanic\source\EncodedVideo\Op ening3_subs.srt"

Of course, replace the paths (to the video, and to OGMDemuxer).

Hey, I hope you are only encoding few of these. Because it will be a pain to modify each of these..

[Matryx]

Well it shouldn't be a problem the episodes got 2 audio pieces. I guess the opening one only has 1 audio. So I won't need these changes for it. I just wanted to test the aspect ratio change on this small file instead of using a full epsidoe

[Matryx]

hmm I'm still getting the same thing except now it just didnt create the audio2 file. video is still the same

[aktee]

I see. =D

Keep me up on the news =).

If there's any other prob, reply! hehe.

[Matryx]

im just going to try on the regular episode and see how it goes.

edit: tried it with a regular episode and got the same result.

This is getting frustrating.

here my batchconvert.bat see if you can find anything wrong with it
