Works fine and I will use it but, as a tool, AVStoDVD should allow for this control as well. It has controls for it but they do not seem to work.Originally Posted by manono
They can easily be raised after making the DVD using DVDSubEdit. It's not worth reencoding just for subtitle positioning.Originally Posted by jond

The latest release does let me move the subtitle position.Originally Posted by davexnet
I am happy now.
Thanks!!! -
I didn't remember seeing any other log than the ones I listed before, so I ran the test again with a different file, this time a 1080p WEB-DL MKV ("tv show.mkv"). DC Precision was set to AUTO, so I changed it to 10. Once again, it made it through the first pass and then failed before the second. I changed the DVD Assets Path, Temp Files Path and Output Folder to the same directory. Here's a list of the only files produced:Originally Posted by davexnet

Try this. On the A2D preferences Misc tab, set encoder priority to LOW. On the Avisynth tab, set video source filter to
FFmpegsource. Save preferences as default.
Load your source file. On the title/edit avisynth tab, deselect "auto script" and use "trim" to select, say, the first
30,000 frames. On the video tab, deselect "auto video setup " and "auto bitrate"
Set encoder to 2-pass HCenc. In the HCenc advanced options, set DC Prec to 10, Profile to best and Bias to 30.
(save as default). In Video avg bitrate, set it to 7500. Give this a try. Please post both logs if it fails. -

When the HCenc encoder is running, and it's window is open, have you tried turning on, "preview"
(bottom right) - what do you see?
Your encoding stats above do not reflect any video all - no I,B or P frames, no bitrate.
Do you still have this file in the temp folder? DVD_0_TVSHOW_1.avs
Drag it into Virtualdub and see what error you get.
Uninstall and reinstall the latest beta of AVisynth -
I've used the preview window before to try to "see" what's going on. When enabled, it updates pretty frequently at first, but as the encode progresses, it updates more slowly. It goes from a couple frames per second in the beginning to several seconds between frames toward the end.Originally Posted by davexnet
When I drag DVD_0_TVSHOW_1.avs into VirtualDub 1.10.4, I get the following error:
Here are the contents of DVD_0_TVSHOW_1.avs:Code:Avisynth open failure: FFVideoSource: Failed to open 'C:\TVSHOW.mkv.ffindex' for writing (C:\Users\Kevin Sartori\Downloads\TEMP\DVD_0_TVSHOW_1.avs, line 6)

I installed that latest Avisynth beta and the issue persists.
I think the error I got with VirtualDub was a permissions issue with Windows 8.1. I don't normally do this, but to keep the path short I placed the video file at the root of C: and I had to give it permission first (even though I'm the administrator). I bet VirtualDub wasn't able to create TVSHOW.mkv.ffindex at the root without permission and it threw that error. I moved TVSHOW.mkv to my Videos directory (which doesn't require permission) and re-ran AVStoDVD. This time when I dropped DVD_0_TVSHOW_1.avs onto VirtualDub, there was no error.
It there anything I can try in VirtualDub to help resolve the issue?
Thanks again! -
"FFVideoSource: Failed to open 'C:\TVSHOW.mkv.ffindex' for writing"
This suggests a possible system permissions problem, or the file may have been in use from
some other process..
It may be because your media is in the c:\ root folder.
Try creating a subfolder so the path is like this:
c:\mymedia\TVshow.mkv (or similar), and put the movie in there.
When you do that, modify the above script to reflect the new path and try once again
drag and drop in Virtualdub.
Oops - I just saw your new post. Does A2D work now when you recreate the project? -
No, unfortunately not. I had placed the video file at the root of C: to keep the path short for the log files. Normally I add files right from a folder in Videos. Sorry about the confusion!Originally Posted by davexnet
-
Kevin, we'll need to narrow it down further. Modify the test script so it uses directshowsource.
(remember to fix the paths):
Audio = directshowsource("C:\TVSHOW.mkv")
Video = directshowsource("C:\TVSHOW.mkv")
Video = Video.ConvertToYV12()
Video = Video.Spline16Resize(720,480)
AudioDub(Video, Audio)
Trim(0,1999)
Save this as a new .avs file, and drag and drop into virtualdub. Do you have xvid installed?
Use virtualdub to encode the script and create an xvid avi. Does it work? -
I don't have xvid installed, so I selected x264vfw instead. At first, I didn't think it was working because the clip was so short, but then I realized that your Trim command was doing that!Originally Posted by davexnet
To test it further, I loaded a 95m 720p movie, removed the Trim command and let it run. It converted fine without errors. Now I'm really confused. I thought for sure the problem was Avisynth stalling, but it seems to be working fine with VirtualDub.
I really appreciate the time you're putting in to help! -
Open the HCenc GUI directly, and use that to open the .avs file you just used. Set the log and m2v paths
and the various settings. Use version 25 or 26 and set it up for the standard 2-pass. Let's see if this tells us
anything! -
I downloaded 0.26 and left all the settings at default except for DC Prec, which I set to 10. It crashed partway through and, unfortunately, the log doesn't tell us much:Originally Posted by davexnet

NO error messages? Desktop/laptop? Is this Windows 8? Perhaps try compatibility mode .
Have you checked the system/application event logs to see if anything appears during this crash?
I'm out of idea's, so little to go on.
EDIT try it without the audio:
directshowsource("C:\TVSHOW.mkv",audio=no)
ConvertToYV12()
Video.Spline16Resize(720,480)
Trim(0,20000) -
No, no error messages. I have a desktop PC (AMD A10-5800K) with Windows 8.1 x64. I don't really know how to use Event Viewer. I tried disabling the audio, but I can't seem to get the syntax right. I'm trying this:
I've also tried audio=no and even remuxed the file without audio, but HCenc crashes when I try to load the avs.Code:Video = directshowsource("C:\Users\Kevin Sartori\Videos\movie.mkv", audio=False) Video = Video.ConvertToYV12() Video = Video.Spline16Resize(720,480)
In terms of compatibility mode, do you mean go into the AVStoDVD/HCenc folder and right-click on HCenc.exe, choose Properties and go to the compatibility tab? Will this change the way AVStoDVD launches the executable? -
For the script, take out the video= from each line (just as I have it in the example above).Originally Posted by KevinSartori
Event log can be found by opening an elevated command prompt and typing eventvwr.msc (at least this worked
from Windows 2000 - Windows 7 - not sure about Windows 8) - Look for System or Application logs at about the time of
the crash.
Yes, either from the compatibility tab on the executable or a shortcut, set it to Windows 7.
As far as 64 bit OS is concerned, it should be OK as long as everything in the chain in 32 bit.
(Hcenc, avisynth and the codecs.).
If your not sure about the codec, use FFVidesource instead.
eg. FFVideoSource("K:\temp\mymovie.mkv", track=-1, seekmode=0) -
Thanks. I got confused because HCenc complained about "video" in my avs file. Looking closer, I see that it was complaining about line 3. HCenc accepted this:
It actually made it through the first pass and even part of the way through the second pass before crashing. It doesn't say anything in the log, but in the info line of the GUI it said something about motion quantization error. That log cuts off right after:Code:directshowsource("C:\Users\Kevin Sartori\Videos\movie.mkv",audio=no) ConvertToYV12() Spline16Resize(720,480) Trim(0,20000)
I didn't catch the exact phrasing before it crashed, so I ran it a second time to try to catch it. This time, both passes completed, but the resulting .m2v only plays fine for 8 seconds before looping into a garbled, blocky mess. Here's that log:Code:--------------------- | encoding - pass 2 | ---------------------

At least this time in HCenc you can see that t is accessing valid data.
It's possible a file is corrupted. The first thing to try is perhaps running chkdsk on the system partition.
From the elevated prompt enter CHKDSK /f c: (assuming c: is your system partition). Reboot as necessary.
Secondly, you can run the system command to check the protected files for corruption and wrong versions -
(as far as I know it still works under Windows 8). From the elevated CMD promt enter
SFC /scannow -
Thanks again for the help. I ran CHKDSK and found the log in the Event Viewer:Originally Posted by davexnet
Except for the fixes for the "unused" stuff, it doesn't look like there are any problems there. Next, I ran SFC /scannow. The resulting CBS.log is pretty big, but I found this at the end, which seemed promising:Code:Stage 1: Examining basic file system structure ... 366080 file records processed. File verification completed. 2547 large file records processed. 0 bad file records processed. Stage 2: Examining file name linkage ... 441458 index entries processed.

Windows has made corrections to the file system. No further action is required.
Unfortunately, though, the issue persists with HCenc crashing. I really appreciate all the help, but I am starting to feel that at some point in the past couple months, some negative change happened with my Windows installation that currently only affects HCenc. I'm pretty sure that reinstalling Windows will fix the problem. It's just a matter of me putting aside the time to take care of it. I read that Windows 8.1 Update 1 comes out next month, so I'll probably wait to do it then.Code:2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 00000817 [SR] Verify complete 2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 00000818 [SR] Repairing 3 components 2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 00000819 [SR] Beginning Verify and Repair transaction 2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 0000081a [SR] Repairing corrupted file [ml:48{24},l:46{23}]"\??\C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64"\[l:30{15}]"msmpeg2adec.dll" from store 2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 0000081b [SR] Repairing corrupted file [ml:48{24},l:46{23}]"\??\C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64"\[l:16{8}]"mfds.dll" from store 2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 0000081c [SR] Repairing corrupted file [ml:48{24},l:46{23}]"\??\C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64"\[l:34{17}]"mfmpeg2srcsnk.dll" from store 2014-02-09 09:24:21, Info CSI 0000081d [SR] Repair complete
Thanks again, davexnet, for all of your time and effort! I really appreciate it! -
Kevin,
What you are suggesting is a good idea, let us know (here in the thread) if it eventually works.
I was going to suggest that at this point you should continue your issue at forum.doom9.org
mpeg-2 encoding forum. That's where the developer of HCenc hangs out (hank315). It may be
related to a specific version /release of the C++ runtime, or something similar. That forum is typically
frequented by more programmer types than here.
Just out of interest have you opened up Windows Updates to see if there are any updates advised?
Sometimes an update classed as non-critical may be relevant, and may have to be downloaded manually. -
That's a good suggestion, going to the doom9.org mpeg-2 encoding forum, but I just don't want to waste more of anyone's time if my issue is some goofy Windows problem. I'm pretty on top of the "optional" updates on Windows Update. I just checked again now to make sure, but the only one that I haven't already installed is the Bing Toolbar, which I definitely don't need!
Thanks again for all the help and when I do finally get around to re-installing Windows, I'll definitely update the forum here! As I'm sure you know, wiping the hard drive and installing Windows itself is the easy part, it's the setup and re-installation of programs that takes up so much time. Ugh, I dread it just thinking about it!
And, of course, I can't help but worry that after all that work, HCenc would still crash! -
I have an interesting update. It finally occurred to me that I could use my wife's laptop to convert some flicks for my friends. It's pretty decent as it has one of those AMD Trinity A8 processors, running Windows 8.1 x64. I used the AVStoDVD 2.73 installer. Unfortunately, it exhibits the exact same problem my desktop PC had: HCenc slows down, stalls and then crashes!
The interesting thing about our two computers is that we're both running Windows 8.1 x64, but my wife's laptop is mostly used for work and browsing. Basically, QuickBooks, Microsoft Office and Firefox. The only program we share on the two is PotPlayer. To make sure that wasn't the issue, I uninstalled it, but the issue remains! Crazy.
I'd be curious to hear if any of the other AVStoDVD users are successfully running Windows 8.1 x64 and using HCenc. I find it very strange that I'm having the same problem on two different PCs. -

win 8.0 ,, no problems, i use Henc quite a bit, usually have it set as the default
sorry no plans to upgrade to 8.1 anytime soon -
Loving AVStoDVD. It accomplishes pretty much everything I need in an Authoring program. Got a quick question, and sorry if this has already been covered. I looked for a while and didn't find anything. Is it possible to do a custom shaped button like a circle instead of a rectangle, or maybe even use an image as a button (not a thumbnail)?
-
Hi wildthehero,
welcome there and thanks for the kind words.
About the quick question: I assume you are referring to the DVD Menu. Yes it is possible for page arrows buttons and Play All button, but you have to create the custom shaped button with an external software, then in the DVD Menu Editor window, you can select the saved custom image. Take note that the highlight will be always rectangular, to cover the custom image button. It is not possible (at least in an easy way) for title thumbnails, which are directly grabbed from the source titles.
Bye -
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give that a shot.

MrC,
Because of the problems I've been having with HCenc on my Windows 8.1 x64 PC, I've been checking out other possible solutions. I've discovered that a program called DVD Flick v2 offers FFmpeg 2-Pass VBR encoding. I've tested it and it works fine on my system. Unfortunately, DVD Flick v2 doesn't seem to do pulldown and the DVD authoring is glitchy. Because it hasn't been updated since October 2013, I'm thinking these issues probably won't be resolved.
Even if they do get resolved, I still prefer using AVStoDVD. Is there any possibility that you could add FFmpeg 2-Pass VBR encoding as an option in AVStoDVD? I can post the log from a successful 2-Pass encode if seeing the commands used is helpful. -
Hi Kevin,
I saw the author of HCenc got in touch with you in another thread. Did it lead to anything?
If not, if you have the time, make a post in the doom9 forum to remind him. Bring a little bit more light to
the situation. Perhaps others who have Windows 8.1 can try to recreate the problem...
