About 'auto add all': adjust the audio settings&co before loading your source

Cu Selur

Thanks for the quick reply! Really appreciate you helping me understand this.

So to clarify and ensure I am doing this sequence correctly. To begin, I do NOT select my source file yet. Then I performed the following steps, but I think I am not understanding the meaning of the "automatic" conversion because it's not doing what I assume it should be doing? (Sorry my english is not great and also I probably do not fully understand how a DTS-HD/TrueHD stream is formatted compared to their lossy counterparts. So I think I am confused why automatic still means to select encoder and settings.)

1. On main base tab, I select to 'auto add all' audio streams as I usually do.

2. On the Audio tab Misc, I check the two boxes I want for 'auto convert' of the DTS-HD and TrueHD.

3. On the Audio tab Base, I do not need to select any audio encoder settings if I just want to convert from DTS-HD to DTS and TrueHD to AC3? Or do I still need to input encoder settings? Here's my screenshot where I left it blank, then selected my source file, then checked to see what got queued up.

In any case, just for fun, I chose "wrong encoder and settings" ie, I keep selected the "auto convert" options on the Misc tab, but I chose AAC encoder. And of course when I choose the source file, it queues up a DTS-HD to AAC conversion which looks to me like it's ignoring the "auto convert DTS-HD to DTS" option?


So to summarize, if I DON'T select an encoder and settings (ie, leave it blank), the audio stream appears to pass through (does not convert from DTS-HD to DTS). If I DO select an incorrect encoder and settings, then it applies those instead (does not convert from DTS-HD to DTS). But if I select the DTS encoder, then it applies those settings. So, I am unconvinced the "automatic convert" is actually working?

[Selur]

"passthrough" (not setting an encoder) should be correct.
I can look at this tomorrow, but I would need a debug output of the source analysis and creation of the audio queue, so I can reproduce this. (I need detailed info about the source and how Hybrid detects it.)

Cu Selur

Ps.: According to what I see the audio is detected as DTS not DTS-HD and thus Hybrid will not try to extract a dts core.

Cu Selur

Thank you! I've attached two debug outputs here from my two source files along with the mediainfos outputs too.

1. the DTS-HD source file - has one audio stream of DTS-HD



2. the TrueHD source file - has two audio streams, first one is TrueHD. I notice in the audio queue the string 'downsampleTrueHDtoAC3' in there which looks promising! (Wonder why I don't see that with the DTS-HD file.)

[Selur]

'downsampleTrueHDtoAC3' indicates that the true-hd part does seem to work.
the dts-hd part does not work, since Hybrid does not detect the input as dts-hd
=> will look into it (the debug output already contains the mediaInfo output)

[Selur]

Send you a link to a dev version to see whether it fixes the problem.

Cu Selur

[thedt]

I tried the dev version and it seems to detect DTS-HD audio correctly and apply the auto convert feature correctly also. yay! (tested on 3 source files.)

However, for TrueHD, I tried using both the stable version and the dev version on 3 different source files (two files were TrueHD5.1 and one was TrueHD2.0), and even though the audio queue seemed to indicate that the auto convert would happen with that "downsampleTrueHDtoAC3" string, when I actually tried it, I received the following error. (see screenshot.) The error message is "You are muxing a true-hd audio stream into a .mkv container: If the stream contains an ac3 core, this action will remove it." Checking afterward with mediainfo verified that it did not in fact "extract the core" since the full TrueHD stream was there. So, I guess it is NOT doing the auto convert? But then I thought to myself that maybe it has something to do with mkv container, so I tried outputting raw and mp4. When I do that, no error message pops up, but when I check with mediainfo, once again only full TrueHD stream is there. I've attached the debug logs for these 3 tests where I output to raw.

[Selur]

That is not an error, but an info message.
Hmm,...
a. the info message shouldn't be necessary when 'downsampleTrueHDtoAC3' is enabled.
b. it should remove the stream, by first extracting the thd file and then use tsMuxeR to extract the ac3 stream. Seeing the debug output it seems like you set the output to .raw, my guess is that Hybrid in this case overlooked the second necessary audio step.
=> will look at it after work today

Had a quick look at it again:
Your source is an .mkv file and thus does only contains the thd stream without a core, so 'downsampleTrueHDtoAC3' can't do anything.

For better understanding:
TrueHD tracks are made of two sub-streams, one TrueHD (.thd) and one Dolby Digital (ac3) - but both sub-streams are independent of each other. In .m2ts-files these two streams are inside one track. mkv does not support this. So in an .mkv-file you can have no such dual streams.
If you use MakeMKV depending on the settings you get:
a. either a TrueHD- or an .ac3-stream
or
b. a TrueHD- and an .ac3-stream
but no combo stream.

I'll adjust Hybrid to:
a. not set 'downsampleTrueHDtoAC3' inside the AudioQueue if the input is an Matroska compatible file.
b. only report the message if the output is mkv and 'downsampleTrueHDtoAC3'.
=> so if your input is an mkv and you want to turn a .thd file into a .ac3 file reencoding is needed.

Cu Selur

[Selur]

Send you a link to a dev version which incorporates the mentioned changes.

Cu Selur

[thedt]

Oh I see! That's very helpful to know limitation of mkv. I've been using MakeMKV so this "problem" will always occur it seems then. Is there another recent/up-to-date "easy one click" tool like MakeMKV you recommend that will do the job but keep these audio streams correctly?

May I also suggest to add in the 'tooltip help' your explanation of this limitation of TrueHD in mkv?

I will download the new dev version soon.

[Selur]

iirc. MakeMKV does offer to extract both TrueHD and ac3 into separate streams, so not really a problem. (also modern players do support TrueHD)
Can't really help with an alternative to MakeMKV.

Cu Selur

[thedt]

The new dev build seems to work as advertised! I see the message in the window: "Can't rextract ac3 stream from true-hd, since matroska files always only contain the trueHD stream without the ac3 core."

Thanks for helping me troubleshoot my way through this auto convert. Appreciate it!

Second part of this post is about MakeMKV and TrueHD just in case anyone knows better what's happening, but I'm not going to worry too much more since I don't have a lot of TrueHD discs (most seem to be DTS-HD instead) and I can always just force encode down to ac3.

Looking at my MakeMKV readout and I don't quite see how to separate the streams. For example in this screenshot, the audio line is indented (IDK if that actually means anything) but when I look at it, the TrueHD is 7.1, then indent is 5.1. Where did the other two channels go?? How is the "core" two less channels? I'm just confused haha.

[Selur]

Can't say what MakeMKV does internally. My guess is that if the sub-5.1 ac3 stream and the separate DD Surround 5.1 English streams are identical.

[Leanoric]

Hi Selur, I downloaded the lastest version of Hybrid today and everything I try to do now seems to make it crash.

Heres a debug file.

[Selur]

Can't really reproduce the problem here. (debug output didn't help since it ends where you changed the output path; output path determines the debug output location)
Send you a link to my current dev version (via pm), please share another debug output in case it also crashes with that version.

Cu Selur

[Leanoric]

Ok Ive just tried the dev version and the avisynth filters still dont seem to be working. I get two error messages and the the program closes.

[Attachment 76981 - Click to enlarge]

[Attachment 76982 - Click to enlarge]

However those filters did work with vapoursynth selected, although the temporaldegrain2 filter makes it crash.

Heres a debug output for each of the incidents.

Thanks

-> Does the Vapoursynth Preview work?
If you have a system wide Vapoursynth installation, that might cause issue. Some virus scanner might cause issues.

Cu Selur

Ps.: Can't reproduce the problems here. (side note: I would recommend enabling 64bit Avisynth, if you want to use Avisynth)

[Leanoric]

Sorry, only just back with my computer.

Does the Vapoursynth Preview work?

It works with TemporalDegrain but when I try to use TemporalDegrain2 it doesnt.

[Attachment 76993 - Click to enlarge]

(side note: I would recommend enabling 64bit Avisynth, if you want to use Avisynth)

Ive tried this and avisynth still doesnt work.


Strangely, Avisynth worked and Vapoursynth didnt on the last version of Hybrid that I was using, now its the other way around.

Anyway not to worry, I use Hybrid mainly for QTGMC and TemporalDegain which are both working again for me. Thanks Selur.

[Selur]

Seems like like incompatibility with fft3dfilter.
Does DeNoise->FFT3DFilter work for you and does it work if you enable 'Neo' in it's settings?
What CPU are you using? Hybrid uses https://github.com/AmusementClub/VapourSynth-FFT3DFilter which requires AVX2, you can try replacing the fft3dfilter.dll with the one from https://github.com/AmusementClub/VapourSynth-FFT3DFilter/releases/tag/R2.AC3-AVX which also works with CPUs that only support AVX.

[Leanoric]

FFT3DFilter only works when I select Neo. Without Neo selected, it crashes.

Its not a good pc so that might be the problem. It has an Intel Pentium Silver N6005. Ill read up and see if I should replace fft3dfilter.dll with the other one that youve linked.

[Selur]

Intel Pentium Silver N6005
supports: MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, SSE4.2, SMEP, SMAP, EIST, TM1, TM2, Turbo, SST, AES-NI, RDRAND, RDSEED, SHA
according to: https://www.notebookcheck.com/Intel-Pentium-Silver-N6005-Prozessor-Benchmarks-und-Spec....514830.0.html
So no AVX or AVX2. Maybe https://github.com/myrsloik/VapourSynth-FFT3DFilter/releases/tag/R2 works,...

[Leanoric]

Good call Selur, it worked. Both FFT3DFilter and TemporalDegrain2 are working now. Thanks.

Hello

I have several bugs/problems with hybrid.

1: When i use NVENC + RIFE (tried multiple RIFE models) i get always an error, that the video is to small ("is too small! (byteSize: 0byte)"). But before i installed the newer version, it worked with exact that video and settings. It is (at least) since 21.02.2024 version (i think it was 21 february, but now im on 24 february and it still does not work, was very busy, could not report and thought i do sth wrong).

It works, when i only use NVENC encoding without RIFE. debug (_1) is uploaded.

2: When i use x265 as encoder, it does crash too. It does work too, if i do not use RIFE and only encode. But the error is another: "The type of file ....could not be recognized. "

debug (_2) is uploaded

3. When i use SVT-AV1 i get no crash (as on the other 2 cases). But it just nothing happens. It get stuck on "03_video" if you look on "jobs" in hybrid. Hardware (CPU and GPU) basically 0% usage. But same: When i use only SVT-AV1 without RIFE, i can encode with 21FPS. So the interpolation should not get slowed down from CPU-encoding (and even if, why CPU usage is 0% then?).

But im not sure, if this is a bug, because it occured no crash. But the debug (_3) is uploaded

But Important: It does work with another video file (not 4k video). But it does not work (anymore) with this videofile i used right now. But again: I did interpolate exactly this file before with hybrid and it worked. It does also not work with another 4k HDR file (with same errors). Not sure, if this has any relevance.

4: This is not really a bug i guess, but always when i try to encode (without rife, only encode) 4k hdr files, i do "loose" the hdr. I already tried "HDR signaling" and "Master Display" with "from input" but it did not work. When i encode with fastflix, i do not loose HDR. Sth must go wrong, but i do not know, what i (or hybrid) do wrong.

[Selur]

About the RIFE problems:
From the looks of it the problem is that Vapoursynt doesn't work since "2020cl" instead of "2020ncl" is used.
=> I'll look into it.
(happens since release build changes order of map keys, which the debug build does no -> will fix, this evening and then send you link for testing)

This is not really a bug i guess, but always when i try to encode (without rife, only encode) 4k hdr files, i do "loose" the hdr.

Looking at your encoding settings:

SvtAv1EncApp --input stdin --width 3840 --height 2160 --fps-num 60 --fps-denom 1 --input-depth 10 --profile 0 --tile-rows 0 --tile-columns 0 --progress 2 --rc 0 --crf 35 --mbr 0 --aq-mode 2 --preset 10 --tune 1 --matrix-coefficients 9 --color-range 0 --output "C:\Users\Gaming-Tower\AppData\Local\Temp\2024-02-29@03_23_53_4010_04.av1"

HDR signaling isn't enabled. Also if your source isn't HDR-10 you can't signal the HDR data in SVT-AV1.

The RIFE Problem is solved, thanks. Works now.

But about the HDR: When i use x265 with these settings: "x265 --input - --fps 60/1 --output-depth 10 --y4m --profile main10 --limit-modes --no-open-gop --opt-ref-list-length-pps --lookahead-slices 0 --pass 1 --no-slow-firstpass --bitrate 5000 --opt-qp-pps --cbqpoffs -2 --crqpoffs -2 --qpfile GENERATED_QP_FILE --limit-refs 0 --ssim-rd --psy-rd 2.50 --rdoq-level 2 --psy-rdoq 10.00 --aq-mode 0 --deblock=-1:-1 --limit-sao --range limited --colormatrix bt2020nc --master-display "G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635, 16450)L(10000000,1)" --hdr10 --sar 1:1 --stats "C:\Users\Gaming-Tower\AppData\Local\Temp\König-Der-Löwen_25sec_new_generated.stats" --multi-pass-opt-analysis --multi-pass-opt-distortion --analysis-reuse-file "C:\Users\Gaming-Tower\AppData\Local\Temp\König-Der-Löwen_25sec_new_generated.analysis" --output NUL"

It does make the HDR away. Media info says to the file "HDR Format: SMPTE ST 2086, HDR10 Compatible". After the encoding this line is not there anymore with these settings.

Same is when i use NVENC with these settings:

"NVEnc --y4m -i - --fps 60.000 --codec h265 --profile main10 --level auto --tier high --sar 1:1 --lookahead 16 --output-depth 10 --multipass "2pass-full" --vbr 5000 --max-bitrate 800000 --gop-len 0 --ref 3 --bframes 3 --bref-mode auto --no-b-adapt --mv-precision Q-pel --preset default --colorrange limited --colormatrix bt2020nc --master-display G(13250,34500)B(7500,3000)R(34000,16000)WP(15635,1 6450)L(10000000,1) --cuda-schedule sync --keyfile GENERATED_KEY_FILE --output "C:\Users\Gaming-Tower\AppData\Local\Temp\König-Der-Löwen_25sec_new.265"

that doesn't create an output file.

looks fine to me (https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob/master/NVEncC_Options.en.md#--master-display-stri...-copy-hevc-av1)

If you can share a short sample of your source I can try to reproduce the problem here.

And yes, it might be possible, that the settings above does not create an outputfile. Hybrid-installation is new (i have to set outputpath all the time). But i tried it with these settings. before I just did set the settings and copied out, so that's why the output is missing. But i tried both version i have postet.

Got the file will try to reproduce the problem later and report back.

Ok, thank you.

I have some update information:

Mediainfo says on the original, that it is HDR10 compatible. I saw now, that mediainfo detects HDR on the reencode, but it is not HDR10 compatible (i uploaded 2 picture for proof).

So i did not read correctly, sorry. But doesn't change the problem. It looks like hdr is gone away or so. Did upload 2 screenshots to, that you can see. I tested it with VLC, MPC-HC and MPC-BE. Always the same.

The Screenshots are in 1080p for filesize uploadlimits.

Strange thing is the 'Transfer characteristics' is missing!
Hybrid does tell NVEncC to set it using:

 --transfer smpte2084

Okay, according to https://github.com/rigaya/NVEnc/blob/master/NVEncC_Options.en.md#--transfer-string
this should work.
=> I filed an issue entry with the NVEncC developer. Doesn't look like a bug in Hybrid to me.

Hmm ok. yeah let's see, thank you.

Could you reproduce the looking on your end? So does it also look like on my screenshots, if you reencode?

It is btw. also on other sources from (for example) a natural documentary in 4k hdr. Same behavior.
