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

[aktee]

Please look carefully.

In the post above, I gave you

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

We differ in the echo.AVISource^("%sourcevideo%\%%x"^)
you are using %SOURCEVIDEO%, while OGM needs %ENCODEDVIDEO%

[Matryx]

thanks a lot it works perfectly now

[aktee]

Wohoo!!!
Hehe I'm glad.

[kodaikun]

I'm baaaaaaack!

But only with an encoding question:

Seems I've been doing really well, and have even been able to adjust the bicubic back to lanczos and it plays fine. I found that even though it doesn't play right in Zoom player, it does play in sync with Media Player Classic..... I don't know WHY that is.... and would've saved me all those headaches weeks ago...

Anyway, I've run into a problem encoding 1 episode from a series. I've downloaded 2 different streams from 2 seperate fansub sites, so they're different files, but both will not convert to mpg correctly. The video runs to like 21 minutes, then stops. (24 min. episode). The whole rest of the series converts fine, but 3 frickin minutes of 1 episode doesn't convert!!! Any ideas what to look at for a source of the problem? Here's Mediainfo's rundown of episode 6, 7, and 7a, the alternate version

6
Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 854 Kbps
Width : 704
Height : 396
Aspect ratio : 16/9
Frame rate : 23.98

7
Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 853 Kbps
Width : 704
Height : 396
Aspect ratio : 16/9
Frame rate : 23.98

7A
Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 1145 Kbps
Width : 768
Height : 432
Aspect ratio : 16/9
Frame rate : 23.98

I figured since the bitrate and screen size were both different in ep 7 + 7A that I'd get a different result, but nope, at EXACTLY the same spot, it stops. 21:00.

[aktee]

Heyhey Kodaikun, been a while.

the sources should not give you any problem.
How did you know it misses the last 3 minutes?
Did you check the entire file (without skipping and gliding the bar) or did you just check the timer in Media Player?

If there was any prob with the encoding, it would be because of the encoder..

but hey, try opening the encoded video, with VirtualDubMod.
Then press CTRL + RIGHT ARROW. It will go to the last frame.

Just check below, it should show something like
"Frame 25000 (0:24:00.000)

[kodaikun]

I've watched the AVI from start to finish, and it goes through the 24 minutes. Once converted, I've moved the slider to 19 minutes, and played it from there. It gets to 21:00 even, and even though MPC says 21:00 / 24:30 it just stops.

The last time I encoded it I got the following, which may answer the question:

That was after pulldown and transcoding.

I have had errors like this in other files, and have seen no adverse effects from them in the converted files so I don't get it.

Anyway, if you have any ideas.... I'll try the VirtualDubMod, and let you know what I find.

[aktee]

Ah-Ah!
Moving the glider is okay with AVI.. but not with MPEG2.
Unlike AVI, mpeg2 files does not have a precise header. In the header, it does not say the lenght of the video...
That's why you need Vdubmod, it will load the entire file.


And that's an MPLEX error... I'm not so sure what it is about..

Couples of questions/concerns:


I have read your guide and I have these questions:

1. What if I DON"T want to multiplex the audio and video together. I just want to leave them as audio and video streams. As you may know....most of the good authoring softwares uses elementary streams.

2. "I may be wrong" But it looks like the output video is just one BIG file right ?? All the episodes are merged together ?? So is there a way to encode in batch that each episode are ouput separately not merged together ??

3. Just to save time....is there a way to encode the audio .mp2 files into .ac3 in the same process ?? If not then I guess I have to encode them separately when they're done... Just curious to see if it's possible or not..

Sure. Remove all line beginning by
echo."%mplex%"
In the batchconvert.bat
_OR_ (this one is simpler)
replace the word MPLEX in the line
@set mplex=%dvd2svcd%\dvdauthor\mplex.exe
to
@set mplex1=%dvd2svcd%\dvdauthor\mplex.exe

If you feel that it is going to be permanent, use the first method.

2. "I may be wrong" But it looks like the output video is just one BIG file right ?? All the episodes are merged together ?? So is there a way to encode in batch that each episode are ouput separately not merged together ??

It is not merged.

3. Just to save time....is there a way to encode the audio .mp2 files into .ac3 in the same process ?? If not then I guess I have to encode them separately when they're done... Just curious to see if it's possible or not..

Sure. Just want to heads out that AC3 doesn'T work 100% of the time for me.
Put this

echo."%besweetexe%" -core^( -input "%sourcevideo%\%%~nx.avi" -output "%encodedvideo%\%%~nx.ac3" -logfilea "%besweetdir%\BeSweet.log" ^) -ssrc^( --rate 48000 ^) -ac3enc^( -b %audiobitrate% ^)

instead of

echo."%besweetexe%" -core^( -input "%sourcevideo%\%%~nx.avi" -output "%encodedvideo%\%%~nx.mp2" -logfilea "%besweetdir%\BeSweet.log" ^) -ssrc^( --rate 48000 ^) -toolame^( -m s -b %audiobitrate% ^)

:O! That's it. If you have any more question post here. =D.

[Ekin]

aktee: thank you for the fast reply...I will definitely try your way and see if it works or not...It'll take me some time because I just bought an Abit motherboard...and it requires me to have a power supply of 3.3V with an minium of 30Amps output....wow... I am suprise that 90% of PSU are under 30Apms.....soo gotta find a cheap PSU But I will definitely post my out come....thanks...

[Ekin]

aktee: just tried with the first part with creating .avs file...when I play it...i got this error in window media player. " ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format " did a search and people are telling me to demux it with VirtulaDub...If so..then I guess this way won't save me alot of time and playing around with softwares....I know how to do it with other softwares..I just don't know how to use CCE to convert avi/ogm to mpeg. I know CCE is weird on the audio part..but I thought it should be fix by now. I have used CCE 3 years ago. I thought that dummy audio file would be fix my now.... I am currently using CCE 2.7.

[aktee]

ACM failed..... demuxing with vdub...

hmm...

thats when playing the AVS file, right?

try doing the whole thing, start converting.

AVS is frameserving.
in the batch, it actually encodes the audio with BeSweet, which is made specifically for audio conversion..

[Ekin]

aktee: I will ignore the error " ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format " and just start the encoding...when I get home from work. But just curious... let say my avi have .ac3 as audio...I don't want Besweet to encode it into .mp2...then that would be just a waste of time since I want .ac3. So I have 2 questions:

1. Can I use a demuxed .ac3 from an .avi file and use it to author ? I haven't tested it yet.

2. If question 1 is possible, then how could I edit the code so that it would demux all the episodes' audio into .ac3 and stop there. Leave them as .ac3 for future authoring...

I am converting some episodes of Bleach, and this is the first one to have a problem, #26, but from here forward they all do the same converted, regardless of bicubic, lanczos, or lanczos4. For these it cuts the last 30 seconds or so off the video. The clip in Media Player Classic reads 23:14 in length, but the last frame as shown in vdubmod is Frame 32288 (0:22:26.679) [P]

Ideas?

[aktee]

aktee: I will ignore the error " ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format " and just start the encoding...when I get home from work. But just curious... let say my avi have .ac3 as audio...I don't want Besweet to encode it into .mp2...then that would be just a waste of time since I want .ac3. So I have 2 questions:

1. Can I use a demuxed .ac3 from an .avi file and use it to author ? I haven't tested it yet.

2. If question 1 is possible, then how could I edit the code so that it would demux all the episodes' audio into .ac3 and stop there. Leave them as .ac3 for future authoring...

It must have an audio of 48000hz. I doubt it got it, most of audio are encoded at 44000hz. If it does, reply here I'll tell you :O! Just look it up with Gspot =).

they are using a new codec. hm.
what fansubbers is that? Lunar or Hell-Fansusb? Hmm.
can you tell me exactly what is the codec for video used? the specific name, and the 4code..

[kodaikun]

All through 34 are done by Lunar...... Problem here only starts at 26. Once I get to 35, it's bleach society fansubs. Here is the mediainfo for 26:

Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 913 Kbps
Width : 640
Height : 480
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 23.98

then the bleach society subs: 35

Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 949 Kbps
Width : 640
Height : 480
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 23.98

Let me know if that's not the info you want.

[aktee]

hmm hmm.
So episode 26 is by lunar. Great, I still have 26 to 47 =)).

I'll try converting and gives you heads up.

Does the AVS play nicely? hmmm.. Might be some kind of error in the encoding process.. maybe maybe.

I just found the problem to the Incompatible PCM format.
It happened to me on a video with a DTS audio...

Just add
AVISource("D:\NarutoDVD\batch\darkwater.avi", false)

It will disable the audio.

I'm currently trying to find a way to demux the audio using command-line programs.

=)

[Ekin]

aktee:

You're right...by adding the ,false in the .avs file will trigger no audio but my .avs will play.


But I started the batch encode...I got this error "Fram size 816x56 is not supported. Supported frame size is up 720x576" why...? my source according to Gspot :

Video:
Runtime: 0:21:35 (32,369 fr)
x:y: 512x384 (1.33:1) [=4:3]
Bitrate: 943 kb/s
FPS: 25.000
Qf: 0.192 bits/pixel

Audio:
Name: ac3 (0x2000) Dolby Laboratories, Inc
Bitrate: 192 kb/s (96/ch, stereo) CBR
Fs: 48000Hz

Well after testing...I figure out that the error "Frame size 816x56 is not supported. Supported frame size is up 720x576" is the .avs itself... Here is my avs:

AVISource("E:\AviSource\Futurama S01E01 - The Space Pilot 3000.avi",false)
LanczosResize(660,440)
AddBorders(30,20,30,20)
ConvertToYUY2()

After a few test encoding.....I found out that if I take out the ",false" CCE would pop up the above error...So I guess CCE doesn't like having audio ..not to say it's .ac3 as audio...So I got mine to work everything seems to start.....So I"ll update when I finish with 1 encoding

[kodaikun]

Well, for the heckuvit, I re-downloaded 26 + 27 from another subber, Anime-Keep, and they both converted with no errors at all. So I'm guessing there has to be something wrong with the Lunar subs ones, even though through mediainfo, there is no difference..

Lunar - Bleach 26

Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 913 Kbps
Width : 640
Height : 480
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 23.98

Keep - Bleach 26

Codec : XviD
Bit rate : 915 Kbps
Width : 640
Height : 480
Aspect ratio : 4/3
Frame rate : 23.98

Think that may be it?

[aktee]

hmm...
It is because MediaInfo doesn't give you real deep information about codecs.. It just gives you the "name"..

Newest GSPot is kind of accurate tho...

I'm pretty sure it's the source. They must have encoded with something special..

Try reinstalling latest codecs, just in case.

Not really. CCE encoding audio is fine...
If you take ou the ",false" in the AVS, it will output an error when playing the AVS (Red Text saying something about PCM)

When opened with CCE, CCE wil think that the <> IS the video. Hence the value of 56 for height..

Just encode with the sound. I'll tell you when I find a way to batch-convert DTS streams..

[Ekin]

aktee: I finally work the batch the way that I wanted it to. After editing the batch file I was able to encode my .avi into .m2v without multiplex and without besweet transcoding my audio since I want the audio to stay as .ac3. So pretty much everything works for me..thanks for the help...I will continue on encoding ...I'll update when I am done. But let me know if you do find a way to batch with dts audio. Or probably add in some codes for Besweet to extract the audio and leave the option to the user to encode the audio or not. Because in my situation I would like to extract the audio and leave it as it is. But I don't really want to use multiple software. So if possible I think if you add some line for Besweet to extract and encode or Not would be helpful to others as well. Currently I am not using CCE to encode my audio...but hey...CCE as far as I know is only good for video..there're other softwares that I know that are really good for audio...

later....


P.S. what is the ",false" do to the avs ?? just curious why would CCE error out for that ?? What's the function for the ,false in the avs ???

haha. I know that there are other software better for audio than CCE. That's why im using BeSweet... but CCE is acceptable.

the ",false" will disable audio.
Since we're only using the AVS to frameserve CCE, we don't need audio.. =D.

And.. Avisynth doesn't not really decode DTS Audio. Hence the PCM error.
I'm searching for a plain demuxer, I can't seem to find it. All demuxer are using GUI.

[aktee]

KODAIKUN!!
Hey.
I just encoded ep 26 and 27 from Lunar.
Ep26 gives me.. 23:14 with 33440 frames
Ep27 gives me.. 23:14 with 33439 frames

Both are correct with the AVI.

So I encoded successfully. It must be the codecs you are using.

[kodaikun]

Hmm, the codec may be bad? hmmmm..

Which one(s) are you using? I installed the pack you have listed in your tutorial. What are the best codecs to have?

Very odd that it only just started being a problem. What a pain.

I just did 26-33 from Hell fansubs and they came out fine, but as soon as I hit 34, which is back to Lunar subs, they failed again. Let me try the new Gspot and tell you what it finds different....

Thanks for being so helpful!

[aktee]

uninstall your current codec.. (or uninstall k-lite codec pack)

http://home.hccnet.nl/h.edskes/mirror.htm

take the "mega" one.
it's 24.8mb.. or something like that.

when installing, choose profile #7 (i think it's.. Super-user 1)...

and try encoding again.
It really seems like a codec thing.. unless you got corrupt version? which I doubt =).


No problem for the help. I just can't sleep when it doesn't work for someone.

[kodaikun]

Ok, I'll give that a try. I had the K-lite mega codec pack 1.34 installed, and I see the current is 1.37.

I'll let you know the results.

Well, I installed profile 7, and there was no difference in the encoding. It all goes fine until the end, where you get several WARN lines, than it exits. When you play the file, you get through the episode until the end credits, about 30sec. left and it ends.

[Ekin]

hey....I have encoded 9 episodes using the batch and CCE....Everything goes fine for the video but somehow the audio and video is not in sync after authoring. The audio seems to be faster and faster as the video plays....I have tried many ways to fix this...I didn't encode the .ac3 audio with CCE because CCE doesn't like that...so I put the ",false" to disable it. After getting all the video encoded. I have tried using Virtual Dub to demux the audio as .wav, since VirtualDub doesn't let me save it as .ac3. But I have read here that I can just rename the .wav as .ac3...After authoring, the audio is like 30 sec ahead.

So then I try anther way....I modified your batch file to just run Besweet to transcode the audio into .mp2...That still doesn't work...audio and video doesn't sync up...

Next I switch over to TMPGenc to encode 1 episode.... Same result, audio is faster then video.

Finally I tried NeroExpress....and it work !!! everything are in sync. Audio and Video are fine...Sooo why is that ?? All of this seems really odd to me.....Some how the 2 most popular encoders can't handle avi files with .ac3 audio. On the other hand...Nero does it....
