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

[Gravitator]

Всем привет!
Resists encode to AAC through compression level 6

[Selur]

What?
According to the debug log you used FHGAACEnc with vbr level 5.

[Gravitator]

Another attempt.

[Selur]

Seems like there is some pworlbme with the decoding, since when calling:

"C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\ffmpeg.exe" -y -threads 2 -i "Y:\Darude - Sandstorm (Original Mix).flac" -ac 2 -ar 96000 -f sox - | "C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\sox.exe" --multi-threaded --ignore-length --temp "G:\TEMP" --buffer 524288 -S -t sox - -t wav - rate 48k | "C:\PROGRA~1\Hybrid\dynamic\FHGAAC~1.EXE" --ignorelength --vbr 6 - "G:\TEMP\iId_5_aid_0_DELAY_-23ms_00_15_09_6910_01.aac"

fhgaacenc aborts with:

createAudio3 failure (input PCM format is unsupported or invalid encoding parameters)

vbr 6 itself should be supported:

Usage: fhgaacenc.exe [options] infile [outfile]
  Note: pass - as infile to encode from stdin.
        pass - as outfile to encode to stdout (ADTS only).

  General encoding options
        --cbr <bitrate> : encode in CBR mode, bitrate=8..576
        --vbr <preset>  : encode in VBR mode, preset=1..6 [default]
        --profile <auto|lc|he|hev2> : choose AAC profile (only for CBR mode)
            auto : automatically choose the optimum profile
                   according to the bitrate [default]
            lc   : force use LC-AAC profile
            he   : force use HE-AAC (AAC+SBR) profile
            hev2 : force use HE-AAC v2 (AAC+SBR+PS) profile
        --adts : use ADTS container instead of MPEG-4
  Other options
        --ignorelength : ignore the size of data chunk when encoding from pipe
        --quiet        : don't print the progress
        --dll <path>   : overwrite path to the "enc_fhgaac.dll" library

If you can send me a link to such a file, I can look into it further.
Atm. my best guess is that fhgaacenc either has some restrictions regarding vbr 6 or the winamp version you used as basis for fhgaacenc is too old to support vbr 6. (iirc. it was added in 2012 -> yes, https://github.com/tmkk/fhgaacenc/commit/f53230b6078b873904201703e4294b21fc5d70a6)
-> not sure which dll version is needed for vbr 6 support.

Selur, I have a question about Subtitles:

Can I add two languages from External subs into the video.. How? That source in SRT files,
may I know it shows in the form of VobSub? (I like as a model SubResync VobSub, fonts with shadows).

[Selur]

Hybrid can:
a. multiplex multiple subs into the output container
b. embed (= hardsub) multiple subs into a video
Hybrid can't convert srt to vobsub.

Can't really tell you how to do what you want with Hybrid, since I didn't quite get what you want.

Cu Selur

[Leo99]

Look, I want to convert a video to MKV container (empty subs). Then, I wanted to fill two languages subs that I have separate two SRT files (external). So that users can select the desired language during playback.. is it possible, how?

If it yes, I would like to know whether the showing text during playback is the text of fonts with shadows? (such as VobSub displaying fonts.. well I like). Otherwise, perhaps the SRT files should I convert from .srt to .idx/.sub before it?

Better do it in the files ASS. Many more opportunities. There are GUI editors.

Hi, can you clarify what ASS file, can you provide a link to download..?

[Jamaika]

Subtitle ASS have a lot of functions. I don't know all. Especially doing effect: twisting, breaking, waves subtitles.
http://docs.aegisub.org/3.2/ASS_Tags/
Example:
http://code.google.com/p/libass/issues/attachmentText?id=13&aid=130011000&name=sample....12b77da74d5505

The SRT subtitles there is only one language. There must be another track SRT for the new language.
For ASS subtitles can be a multi language in one file. At least such records seen.

Example functions muxer MKV/MP4 {polish}:

[Leo99]

Thanks Jamaika, I will look into it.

[Selur]

No Problem.

1. start Hybrid
2. load mkv into Hybrid
3. enable 'Main->Tabs->Subtitle'
4. switch to the 'Subtitle'-Tab
5. under Subtitle->Subtitle Import->select the first file
6. add the file using the '+'-button on the right (this should add the subtitle into the 'Subtitle Queue'); repeat the step for all other subtitles you want to add
7. switch to the 'Main'-tab
8. enable 'Main->Tabs->Tagging'
9. switch to the 'Tagging'-tab
10. under 'Tags->Streams->Subtitle stream tagging', select the subtitle stream, enable 'Language', select the language you want and press the 'Add to tag list'-button (next to the language selection), this should add the subtitle stream with the language to the 'Tag-Queue'; repeat this for all additional subtitles
11. do the rest of your configuration

Styling of .srt subtitles are done by the player, if you want effects like shading&co you should convert your subtitles to .ass and add styling via .ass tags.

For ASS subtitles can be a multi language in one file. At least such records seen.

Normally you should stick to one language at a time unless you want to show two different languages at the same time.

[Leo99]

Oh, thanks a lot for so detailed explanation, Selur..

[Leo99]

Great.. it works well. Thanks so much Selur, this adds to my knowledge about Hybrid.

Guys, I tried encoding my subtitle to a video but everytime I load my video (.mp4), it says "FFmpeg->analyserCall does not know the ffmpeg file location" and then when I click ok, every button is greyed out so I had to restart. I'm using Hybrid for Mac. Any advice?

[Selur]

That is strange,.. try resetting the cached tool infos (Config->Tools->Clear all cached tool infos) after that check that ffmpeg is listed under Config->Tools.
What Mac OS are you on?

It's Yosemite (10.10.4). Resetting the cached tool info worked, thank you! But now my subtitle doesn't appear when hardsubbed, even though it does appear on the preview.

[Selur]

Without a debug output I can't say much about that.

[Leo99]

Selur, I have a 720x480 source dvd with AR 16:9 and PAR 32x27
I figure encoding it to the width of 1280 in Hybrid, so what's an ideal height to choose?

[Selur]

Hybrid should automatically adjust the height when "Resize->Auto adjust" is enabled and set to 'height',...

[Leo99]

Hybrid should automatically adjust the height when "Resize->Auto adjust" is enabled and set to 'height',...

OK, in the Crop/Resize it says 1280x854, but how about "Output PAR" in the left side.. should I fill 1 x 1 by enable box checked? Then, also to Enable "Letterbox" box checked..?

[Selur]

You need to know whether you want a 1:1 par for your output and whether you want black bars to reach a specific resolution, neither I nor Hybrid can know that.

[Leo99]

Great.. I will try it, thanks for info
I am impressed with your application, although I load *.dvddata but Hybrid is able to read it.

[Leo99]

Selur, I got problem installing the latest update Hybrid 2015.9.18.1 as like this:

[Selur]

OS?

[Leo99]

OS?

WinXP

[Selur]

32bit ? 64bit?

[Leo99]

OS XP 32-bit

[Selur]

Haven't had the time to look at it, but my guess is that I added a ffmpeg build which might contains a x265 build that isn't Xp compatible,.. (will try to look at it today, once I'm back from work and shopping)

[Selur]

-> seems like ffmpeg is the culprit, try if replacing ffmpeg with a version that doesn't include x265 helps.
