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

What happens if you call:

As I'd deleted the files in question, I re-ran the job on Hybrid to re-create the files. Below is what I get after running the above (with file-names changed).

mkvmerge v7.1.0 ('Good Love') 32bit built on Jul 27 2014 12:59:18
'\\vboxsvr\temp\iId_1_aid_0_DELAY_-43ms_16_55_38_4510_02.aac': Using the demulti
plexer for the format 'AAC'.
Warning: AAC files may contain HE-AAC / AAC+ / SBR AAC audio. This can NOT be de
tected automatically. Therefore you have to specifiy '--aac-is-sbr 0' manually f
or this input file if the file actually contains SBR AAC. The file will be muxed
in the WRONG way otherwise. Also read mkvmerge's documentation.

my guess is that mkvmerge doesn't like the path to the file, try mounting the path beforehand to a drive letter

Hybrid 2014.8.6.1 successful installed on my WinXP, but I got message:
Log Messages
Ignoring mplayers libbluray support since it's too old (version < 36902)
Finished initialization, finished after 4.25s

[Selur]

okay, that's a new one, seems like they changed the version string (and therefore Hybrid interprets is at zero) -> will look into it

[Leo99]

Good job Selur!

[Leo99]

Hi Selur, your qaac.exe is too old 1.01 MB, the current is 1.30 MB (1,334 KB).
Please see Inbox for the attachment.

[Selur]

Haven't updated qaac in a while since afaik. there hasn't been any update which influences aac encoding in Hybrid.

[Leo99]

Correction, your version is quite right. Sorry.. a long time I'm not visit there at google.cabinet... Yes, current version is 2.42, whereas mine is 2.27.
Many thanks, Selur!

[Selur]

No problem, I normally update the tools Hybrid uses before each release to make sure the latest version still work, so the tools which come with Hybrid should normally be not too old.

[Leo99]

Good job Selur. Lately rampant people talk about HEVC.
I saw there is x265 GUI, I want to install this. Is is good for the first launch.. any ideas what should I install others..?

[Selur]

afaik MPEG-4 H.265/AVC encoders out there are:
1. x265
2. DivX265
3. Kvazaar
4. f265
5. the JCTV reference implementation HM
x265 is the most feature complete, but some users prefer the DivX265 encoder over it. (-> use search forum)

[Leo99]

Hmm interesting.. I'll take a look, thanks!

Hi, could you please tell me if it's possible to do batch encodes with Avisynth & Hybrid? I've tried MeGUI, it works however it crashes a lot making it pointless to use. When using a non-batch program I don't get any crashes so it seems like MeGUI is the problem.

Basically I want to tell Hybrid to encode a folder of 1080i 25fps AC3 audio h264 mkv files to 720p 50fps with AC3 passthrough. When using a non-batch program this is the script I use:

AssumeTFF() 
DeGrainMedian(limitY=2, limitUV=3, mode=1, interlaced=true)
Yadif(mode=1, order=1)
Vinverse()
Lanczos4Resize(1280,720)

Could you please tell me what settings I would need to do that.

[Selur]

Sorry, not possible since Hybrid doesn't support DeGrainMedian atm.

[VideoFanatic]

Do you have a similar filter. If so could you advise of the settings please.

[Selur]

busy atm, so best look at the denoisers and check the Avisynth preview
(+ can't advise an alternative to DeGrainMedian with the settings you use, since I don't use it normally)

[Leo99]

Selur, I had a strange experience maybe you can help: What's up JPEG decoder in ffdshow..?

What happens with my ffdshow? After a long time not to use this ffdshow on my PC, today I tried using but so strange...
I start streaming an AVI video 8.5 MB in VirtualDub, but the result makes me dumbfounded... A wonder, when I choose "ffdshow video codec" it was converted by Decompressor: Internal Motion JPEG decoder (MJPG).. what's up? Also it makes me crazy huge file that comes with 132.5 MB.. (almost 16x ??).
I don't know exactly what's applications that I installed that makes this conflict...

Notes:
What may be caused by Nero burning rom contains Nero MediaHome the last time I installed?
Or maybe the MainConcept MPEG demultiplexer in Winamp that I've seen one of the videos property (don't know where it comes from - I never installed this application!).

Sorry for many questions. Any suggestions please? Thanks in advance.

[Selur]

Decompressor = used for decoding, unless you select an encoder in VirtualDub your output will be uncompressed,...

[Leo99]

Actually, I want to choose MPEG-4 with FOURCC XviD in the encoder option, but now is gone. There was only MJPEG, HuffYUV (FFmpeg variant), FFV1, DV, and Uncompressed. Then, I try to select MJPEG just want to know.
I don't know why is missing, formerly one of them has an option of MPEG-4.

Do you know what the cause is..?

[z-machine95]

hello selur!

i'm using your gui for a long time, but now i can't make x265 -2pass work... it crashes on the matroska muxing... i don't know why.. seems that the .265 file is very little (some Kb). it's a known problem or you have a fix for it?

please help me!!!!!

[jediry]

I am also stumbling over the "2nd pass has more frames than 1st pass" issue that z-machine95 reported. Is this a bug in x265.exe?

[Selur]

was a bug in Hybrid, got it fixed locally for some time now, but got a lot of stress (the last three weeks) and didn't find the time to make a new release, hope to do new release next weekend.

[Gravitator]

Not active mode settings Psy-RDO quant

[Stears555]

The x264 encoding of Mediacoder (with the exactly same options) is two times faster than Hybrid. How is it possible?

[Gravitator]

Perhaps that OpenCL provides growth.

[Stears555]

Perhaps that OpenCL provides growth.

But Hybrid has OpenCL option too.

[Stears555]

The situation is the same with x265 codec. The transcoding is 2X faster with Mediacoder. Something must be do, it is a huge disadvantage for Hybrid.

[Selur]

@Graviator: will fix, it's an index error (it's enabled for 5+ instead of 4+ )

[Gravitator]

Maybe deinterlacing slows and decoder
