AVStoDVD Support Thread

[davexnet]

@Seeker47

yes, that's the rationale

@dave

nice suggestion. Does DeBlock come as an external standalone AviSynth plugin or does it require other plugins?



Bye

MrC, regarding Deblock(),
I looked in the Avisynth plugings folder and found deblock.dll, I assume this the main, perhaps only file necessary.
Here's the info from the version I have:

[Seeker47]

I'd like to get some advice regarding a job on which I've run into problems on the previous attempt. This is not really an AVS problem, per se. (Hope I haven't asked this before -- don't think so, at least not in this thread.) The running time on this job comes to almost 3 hours. I need to run it through AVS, not only for the conversion to DVD but in order to apply the subtitles. The problem is that the end result -- especially since I'm holding out for a good PQ -- comes out being quite large. Ordinarily, I would just load this into DVD Shrink, not to shrink it, but for the very easy Re-Author function to manually divide this into two DVDs, at a point of my choosing. (Even two DVD-9s, if it came down to that.) But SHRINK absolutely chokes on an input of that size. I also tried a fairly recent version of DVD-Fab, which has a more automatic divide-1-into-2 function, with a similar result. What's needed is some tool that can make the division without re-encoding and without being fazed by the input size. (And what if some even longer future example requires 3 - 4 discs ?) This has to be done after the AVS rendering, otherwise there would be no subtitles, or at least a loss of subtitles sync. (I don't see where AVStoDVD development could address this issue directly, features-wise, but then I wouldn't really know.)

My alternative would be to just watch this on the WD-Live media player -- if it supports the file format, which is MKV -- but I'd much rather make and have the discs.

In AVStoDVD you first choose whether you want a DVD5 or DVD9. Then you load the source and the program
figures out the correct bitrate to maximise the space (but not go over). The only way I can think of that it's going
wrong is that you chose HCenc 1-pass and HCenc itself misjudged the encoding bitrate .

If that's so, use 2-pass.

It sounds like you're not following me here. The bitrate at HCenc 2-pass or even 1-pass on this would be woefully inadequate. We're very possibly talking about enough material here to fill two DVD-9s, at the desired PQ. Splitting this between a couple of DVDs is a must.

[Seeker47]

@Seeker47

About the re-use of existing DVD structure, you can do the following:

- Open the 'Parse DVD' section, under 'Tools'
- Select the VIDEO_TS folder
- Select only the video pgc, audio tracks, subs tracks you want to keep
- Check the 3 'Demux ...' options
- Process

Now you will have the elementary assets (m2v, ac3, sup) that can be added to AVStoDVD as titles. Then add the new SRT. Just make sure that the SRT timestamps are in synch with the original assets.

Hi _MrC_,

Just had another case like this, which (fortunately) appears to have worked out. It was an .Mkv, and I've noticed that those can lead to problems. They will have embedded subs of their own, sometimes more than one or two. AVS went to create an external subs file from it, in the early going. When this generates an .Srt file, it should be O.K. When it spits out some other format (Sub + Idx ?), don't place any bets. I thought that phase had gone alright -- despite AVS ignoring an .Srt for this that I had already, separately downloaded, in the same folder -- but the job stalled out at the subs phase. (Again, a reference to the job's log file, which told me absolutely nothing.) But AVS had generated three files, in getting this far: the .M2v, an .AC3, plus a .Sup file with a size of 0 bytes. Fine. The downloaded .Srt file was the subs I had wanted to use, anyway. Without canceling out the job window, I "dismissed" the old contents, substituted the .M2v + .AC3 + .Srt files (now with slightly shortened filenames), and let the job proceed from there. It started with FFMpeg before going into MuxMan shortly thereafter. 7 minutes later, I had the completed DVD. The subs are there, and look like the timing is pretty good -- or at least good enough.

I'm still not sure what you meant re how to preview that subs timings for those assets. Do you provide a way to do that in AVS . . . via the tied-in external player that can be designated in Preferences ? If not, might that be something for future development ?

I think I misunderstood your problem. How many hours worth of material are you talking about
in this project?

[Devil505]

I'm fairly new at AVStoDVD, having previously used DVDforger for a while.

I seem to have a problem in respect of the target size - i tried to compile a collection of episodes to put on a DVD-RW (5) and i don't seem to get a project small enough to burn it using ImgBurn.

1st try was by selecting DVD-5 as DVD Size, 2nd try was custom size 4400mb - BOTH times the result was ~95mb too large to burn it.

Unfortunately i only have the 2nd try logfile available, attached below.

The resulting project size is according to Windows Explorer 4.47 GB (4,802,605,056 bytes);
ImgBurn shows an ImageSize of 4,803,198,976 bytes, with a remaining Free Space of -95,879,168 bytes on the DVD-RW that according to ImgBurn has a capacity of 4,707,319,808 bytes.


In case it's of interest:
Win 7 64-bit, core i7, PLEXTOR DVDR PX-L890UE 1.04 (USB)

[_MrC_]

@Seeker47

you can use the 'Preview Clip' option, after having set the SRT subs as hard encoded ('Edit Title'/'Subtitles').

@Devil505

you have put too much video footage in the project. See the predicted output size:

DVD Size: 4651/4400 MB (106%)

You have 2 option:

- remove one title from the project
- decrease the video min avg bitrate (see 'Preferences'/'Video') from 2500 to 2000 kbps

I suggest the first option

In this particular example it's 3 hours, but even bigger than that (in terms of file size) because it was shot in a Cinemascope type of widescreen process. When I ran it through AVS the first time, going for the level of PQ I was after (and not trying to burn it) the end result came out to something over 12.5 Gb. That -- or sizes even larger -- might be O.K. if I was trying to put this onto Blu-Ray, but I'm not.

I've had other examples that hit 4 hours or more. The key question remains 'How do you divide that across more than one disc ?' Keep in mind that the subs have to be applied in the processing, before any division takes place, and that the familiar program options I mentioned for doing the multi-disc dividing seem to choke on larger than 9 or 10 Gb. file sizes. (Maybe something like Sony Vegas can do this, but I didn't want to go there if I could avoid it.)

Thanks for the quick reply.

I didn't realize AVStoDVD aims at a certain "fixed" min avg bitrate - DVD forger just reencodes to whatever bitrate necessary, leaving it to the user to check out if the result is still suitable, and in the past i put 6 episodes on 1 DVD-RW without terrible loss of quality - actually subjectively it was still better than the quality of some of the regular TV cable transmissions.

Now that i know the workings i know how to read the output size - on first trying my impression was rather like: without further compressing it'l be 4651mb vs. the 4400mb i aim for - only small additional compression needed, fine!

Not sure how easy it would be to implement, but maybe it would be a handy idea to have a kind of dialog popping up on starting a job if the selected content might not be "squeezed" into the selected target size, working as a warning AND maybe even giving some choices, like canceling the job, temporarily adjusting the min avg bitrate for this job only, or go with a result that won't fit. Might save 1 hour+ of reencoding to an unsatisfactory result.

An additional minor issue:

On adding episode 2, AVStoDVD wasn't able to automatically determine the correct framerate, using the manual input fallback - Mediainfo v0.7.61 (installed by the k-lite codec pack i believe) had no problems identifying the framerate, nor did any of my installed media players seem to have any problem - but that's a minor issue anyway.


What i miss a bit (maybe due to lack of experience with AVStoDVD) is a DVD Menu option that lets you select what subtitles to play or if at all - didn't try multi language audio track content yet, so i don't know if such a setup option will appear on Menu creation. DVD forger had a simple straight forward approach there, supplying you with the choice of if and how to select subtitles and language in the DVD menu - not in an optimal way but sufficient for a user to select either on playing the DVD via menu, including that it made the user aware of the existence of a choice of subtitles and languages.


Again, thanks for the quick reply and not to forget, for sharing your program for free to start with.

I get an idea of what you're doing. You want to convert to how ever many disks it takes to get the best quality.
I assume you're encoding your bitrate within the DVD spec - you didn't actually say. I don't have an answer,
no idea why those programs are choking.

Are you sure there isn't an option to split before you encode? Some of the subtitle utilities can split a text sub and re-
calculate the times for the second part.

[_MrC_]

@Devil505

take note that the DVD Size textbox becomes *red* when the output size overrun the DVD size. I can make the progress bar *red* as well, if necessary.

About framerate reading, I know that MediaInfo 0.7.59 has some issue with that. Updating to 0.7.61 fixes that, as you have already discovered

About DVD menu audio/subs selection page, see Help/FAQ/Authoring/Q6.2

[ThaDraGun]

Ive been using AVStoDVD for many years and I have made hundreds and hundreds of movies with it.
Recently I got an error that ive never seen before:

Warning! FrameRate value detected is invalid
Please insert it manually.

Probably from the last 6 videos Ive tried to make (not just movies, but tv shows too) 5 had that error. I look up the value, or guess and it ends up working just fine.

I have tried to reinstall AVStoDVD and chose to reinstall all the other components and that did not help. Any ideas why, and what I need to do to fix it? or do I just have bad videos? Just seems weird that Ive never had this problem before so I dont think its the videos.

[MooMooMooMoo]

Getting a repeated crash on subtitles. Tried the suggestion on Doom 9, "current version 7.61 of MediaInfo"; it didn't fix it.

1 other piece of info: Convert X to dvd 3 had trouble with the audio. CX2DVD4 was able to author a useable dvd, but i much prefer the picture quality in AVS2DVD; would love a solution if possible!

Also, the green light/red light when it aborts shows the problem as being in the audio (red light), despite the error message saying it's with the subs.

regarding DeBlock, default Avisynth installation does not include it, but it is included in DGDecode.dll, part of DGIndex project. Thus it can be easily implemented into AVStoDVD.

Expanding the scope, there are a bunch of deblocking filters. Do you have experience with any of them, other than DeBlock?

MrC,
as far as I'm aware, I've only used deblock.dll, I posted the dll info with a screen shot a few posts back.
I understand there are some other choices. Perhaps we can research a little further. Some others in the forums
may have some comments. I've seen some sample scripts with deblock() mentioned - appears to be a general
purpose tool - works pretty well.
Doesn''t the facility in DGDecode.dll only work for mpeg/VOB source?

Hi nsiops,

have you installed Haali Media Splitter and a good directshow codecs suite (like ffdshow)?

Do you have Windows 7? Download Win7DSFilterTweaker and select ffdshow as default decoder.



Bye

[nsiops]

I do have Haali Media Splitter installed, my current OS is Windows XP. I went ahead and downloaded ffdshow and installed it. I'll give this another go and see what happens. Any ideas what the hang up could be?

[nsiops]

Thnaks Mr. C. I think I've got a successful burn now after installing the ffdshow. However I am also having the problem that TheDraGun is having where it cannot determine the frame rate. I'll see if the fix he used will work for me as well

[_MrC_]

Release 2.6.0 Alpha 121205 is available to download.

Change log:

- Some bugs fixed
- Added 'FFmpeg (Safe Mode)' to AC3 Audio Encoding profiles in 'Preferences'/'Audio'
- Added 'Adjust Frame Strategy' in 'Preferences'/'AviSynth'
- Added 'DeBlock' AviSynth deblocking filter (by Manao) in 'Title Edit'/'AviSynth'
- Added a time cap (2h) to AC3 audio encoding step (Wavi+Aften profile). Overrun leads to process kill and 'FFmpeg (Safe Mode)' start as backup.
- Added a framerate consistency check vs selected Video Standard to source titles during 'Add Title' routine
- Added audio ON/OFF control to 'Preview Clip' section
- Added ffdshow 1.2.4422.0 32bit to Installer package
- Added GraphStudio 0.3.2.0 beta to NoInstall and Installer packages
- Added 'Codecs' as new element in Main AVStoDVD Menu
- Added 'ffdshow Video Configuration' option from 'Codecs' (Main Menu)
- Added 'ffdshow Audio Configuration' option from 'Codecs' (Main Menu)
- Added 'Build Graph Filter' option from 'Codecs' (Main Menu)
- Moved 'AviSynth FrameServing Check' from 'Title' to 'Codecs' (Main Menu)
- Removed ImgBurn Installer from AVStoDVD Installer Package. There is still a link to ImgBurn webpage.
- Changed 'Adjust ffdshow Mixer Output at runtime' to 'Adjust ffdshow Settings at Runtime' (now including Raw Video and Raw Audio adjustments for Preview Clip section)
- Improved 'Quick StartUp Tutorial' section
- Improved 'Fix SRT' routine for authored subtitles
- Improved log activity (Audio Encoding section)
- Improved GUI graphics (progress bars color change)
- Re-organized AviSynth filters options disposition in 'Title Edit'/'AviSynth'
- FFmpeg updated to build git-8b6aeb1
- FFMpegSource updated to 2.17
- Haali Media Splitter updated to 1.11.96.14
- MKVToolNix updated to 5.8.0
- MediaInfo updated to 0.7.61

Please take note that this is an alpha release, designed for testers and potentially with fresh bugs.

Just trying out the latest release and just expected a few minor improvments but found it fixed a lot of minor 'niggles' I had

The auto-advise on NTSC/PAL source is welcome if you use mixed sources when ripping blu-rays from different countries, and the insertion of avisynth filters in (hopefully) the correct places when scripting makes it better to get improved results


Just one thing I'd like to see is upmixing 2 channel to 5.1 surround, you support downmixing but not upmixing, so after a couple of days of hunting and seeing what I can find that uses avisynth and as little external software as possible and so the software/script does it all, eventually came up with a BeHappy script that uses the sox filter and aften to create a pseudo 5.1 output and pretty much does it all for you

All it needs is the extracted 2-channel .ac3 source, which is outputed by AVStoDVD when converting to AC3 and then run through the script below (created by BeHappy) and the result merged back into the final result as normal

The script needs to be inserted just before the final "audiodub(audio, video)

Also, have you considered adding support for the complex but almost all-in-one avisynth denoise functions such as Temporaldenoise that offers pretty much everything in one script, but is very very slow as it has a lot of filters but also achieves very high quality results

http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/MCTemporalDenoise

[_MrC_]

@steptoe

thanks for considering the new AVStoDVD alpha. If you find any issues please let me know.

About upmixing, I am a bit skeptical about. I mean, introducing that feature could be quite impressive, mainly for non-audio-maniac users. But, do we really need to upmix a stereo source to 5.1? Wouldn't it be better to leave stereo as it is, or have our home sound system do the upmix job? Let's ask for other users opinions.

TemporalDenoise: good suggestion, it is not a filter, it is a universe. Give me some time to what and how can be implemented in AVStoDVD.

[mccoady]

I'm not a techy like most here but I'm having problems with a Menu Editor error 53 "File not found". I was given the suggestion to try the below but neither worked... I'm using Windows 7 64-bit and I have installed ffdshow and Haali Media Splitter.

Either uninstall and reinstall AVStoDVD, or go into the registry and delete this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\AVStoDVD
In the second scenario, the program should reinstall the key.

I think these are my log files if someone could take a look at them:
