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

[Selur]

Strange thing is that the problem doesn't appear when I use Russian here, but I got an idea,..

[Wruckler]

Can hybrid open 1080p or 4K raw yuv videos? Watch the webpage of uncompressed test-videos:


http://ultravideo.cs.tut.fi/#testsequences

[Selur]

Not unless you repack it into a container (y4m, mov, avi would be the typical candidates).
RAW yuv can have any color sampling and resolution combination, so importing without additional infos isn't really possible.

And which softwares can transform raw-yuv to lossless mkv or avi?

[Gravitator]

LoadCPlugin("C:\Program Files\Hybrid\avisynthPlugins\ffms2.dll")
# loading source
FFVideoSource("H:\ТЕСТ\TEST(P~1.MOV")
# filtering
return last

Now at all not start viewing (error) and does not close the window AviynthScriptView.
... Starting with the installation of Windows 7x64, I'm not allowed to download updates (so stable work) - may be require an additional package

This problem is similar to the old second complaint on the profile is loaded from a directory in Cyrillic (Last year fixed).

[Selur]

ffmpeg should be able to,..

ffmpeg -f rawvideo -vcodec rawvideo -s 1920x1080 -r 25 -pix_fmt yuv420p -i inputfile.yuv -vcodec copy test.avi

you need to adjust, resolution, frame rate and pixel format to your input.

[Selur]

@Graviator: nope problem should not be related to some windows update.

This problem is similar to the old second complaint on the profile is loaded from a directory in Cyrillic (Last year fixed).

Yes, it's similar but different, since I can't adjust Avisynth to support unicode.
-> will have to find a way to properly save the file on your system, which is not so easy since I can't reproduce the problem here atm. but I'm trying.

Hey Selur,

Thanks for recommending Hybrid!

Regarding: http://forum.selur.de/topic461-offer-portable-hybrid-version-zip-package.html

Would you mind making it more visible how to make it portable on Windows? Perhaps right on the download page, so I don't have to register to another forum to be able to search. (

Thanks for your work.

[Wruckler]

FFmpeg is able to open & transform raw yuv files.

[Selur]

Would you mind making it more visible how to make it portable on Windows

atm. http://forum.selur.de/topic33-hidden-hybrid-options.html only has the old instructions:

make Hybrid portable (Windows only):

1. download and copy the 32bit Hybrid package and extract it into a folder (also download and extract the 64bit over this, if you want a 64bit portable version), alternatively install Hybrid and copy the content of the Hybrid folder into a new folder
2. create a new subfolder inside the new folder i.e. 'settings'
3. create a misc.ini (if not preset in the folder) and change it's content to
   [General]
   settingPath=.\\settings
4. when you now call Hybrid through the shortcut all settings&co are saved in the settings folder and you got a protable version of Hybrid.

which relied on the use of the separate packages (which I no longer offer, since it's simply to much hassle).

Currently you would have to:

• install Hybrid on a system
• copy the Hybrid folder to a separate folder
• deinstall Hybrid
• create a new subfolder inside the new folder i.e. 'settings'
• create a misc.ini (if not preset in the folder) and change it's content to
  [General]
  settingPath=.\\settings

may be, some time in the future, I'll add an additional option to the installer to create a portable version, but right now I simply lack the time and there are more important things to do.

I don't have to register to another forum to be able to search.

There is a "rawsource26.dll" exactly for raw yuv formats in the avisynthPlugins folder of Hybrid. How can I use it?

System.
Just error when viewing information.

[Selur]

Strange, System was the default before I added the option.

Just error when viewing information.

What error?

[Gravitator]

What error?

Same.
Only now can be used to open System/Win-1251.

[Selur]

Confused.
Do you get the error when you use System/Win-1251 or does the preview work, without the error?

[Gravitator]

System/Win-1251 - Opens without problems. Then click on the check box "info" and get the error.

[Selur]

Then click on the check box "info" and get the error.

Okay, that is a problem in avsViewer (will address that after I fixed-up Hybrid)

[Gravitator]

Opens a window view - OK, plus an additional along with the message




Next click on "info" and then oldest error

[Selur]

okay, that error comes from the test avsviewer version.
I need to know if the old avsViewer version works with the last Hybrid version I send you.

if it doesn't then working on avsViewer will only break more stuff,...

[Gravitator]

I need to know if the old avsViewer version works with the last Hybrid version I send you.

In the old version has not been reported at the opening, then updated to the new avsViewer - received the above message.

[Selur]

did you try the last avsViewer version I send you?

Hi. I've just hit a snag - how do I go about re-encoding Surround 5.1 audio as plain 2-ch stereo? Re-encoding as aac, Hybrid defaults to converting as Surround 5.1, which at low bit-rates (64kb/s) results in very 'thiny' sound, and there seems no way of configuring Hybrid to do otherwise. Using such low bit-rates, I'm obviously not too concerned about sound quality to begin with, but 5.1 64kb/s sound is pretty awful, whereas stereo 64kb/s sound I'm fine with. Given that you can configure pretty much anything in hybrid, I'm surprised it not evident about how to do this - if indeed it's possible at all.

[Selur]

there seems no way of configuring Hybrid to do otherwise

Sure there is, you want to filter your audio on reencoding, so you should look into the 'Audio Filtering' options, which offer to do a downmix.

• enable Audio->Main->Reencode
• set your Encoding settings (inside the 'Audio Encoding' section)
• switch to Audio->Main->Filtering
• set your Filtering settings (inside the 'Audio Filtering' section)
  To do a downmix to simple stereo set 'DownMix' to 'toStereo'
• add you current settings to the 'Audio Queue'

Hybrid defaults to converting as Surround 5.1

By default Hybrid keeps all channels unless the output format doesn't support the channel count.

[omelette]

Oops, how did I miss that - thanks!

But I'm having a real feeling of deja-vu here. Trying to avoid the recode-everything-again route, I'm attempting to replace the 5.1 audio from many already-recoded videos, with plain 2-ch stereo - and failing badly. I select a video with 5.1 audio, then select a freshly converted-audio (5.1 -> stereo) *.mkv file via Audio Tab -> Audio Source -> Audio Select button. The first thing that doesn't seem 'quite right' is that the Preview button just plays back the video/5.1-audio of the selected video file, and not the new stereo-audio file I have just selected - is it meant to do this?

More to the point, there seems to be no way of incorporating this new audio into the old video. Clicking the '+' to add an audio file results in the 'old' 5.1 audio being added to the list, despite Audio Source pointing to the new audio file. Stranger still, if I proceed with the encoding, (with pass-through video) I end up with just video, no audio (5.1 or the new stereo audio) being added.

I came across this problem quite a while ago and it bested me at the time. Is this a bug or is it just me?

[Selur]

I came across this problem quite a while ago and it bested me at the time.

ARGH and you didn't report it then,....

I tried to reproduce this:

• started Hybrid
• opened a file with 5.1 audio
• set Main->Handling->Audio handling to custom
• opened another file with stereo sound as audio source (Audio->Main->Audio Source->Audio File)
• added the audio stream from the new source to the Audio Queue (by pressing the '+' button)
  that gave me:
  
  F:\TestClips&Co\Multichannel Test\ac3\Test-AC3-5.1.avi;1;mp3;2;passthrough;128;;false;48000;;;0;1 7.160;mp3;0;1;don't change;;false;;false;1;false;;;;false;true;;;false ;48000;unknown;mp3;;false;false;false;;1/1;;;;;None;;;;;;;;;mpa1l3;false;1;;;;;;;;;;;;2;fal se;F:\TestClips&Co\test.avi;true
  
  The file path at the beginning is the A/V-input from the Main-Tab the settings belong to, the file path at the end is the source of the audio. In my case:
  AV-source: F:\TestClips&Co\Multichannel Test\ac3\Test-AC3-5.1.avi
  Audio-source: F:\TestClips&Co\test.avi
• set an output file and added created a new job

Since you reported a problem I looked at the _audio job in detail (disabling: 'Jobs->Minimize job command lines') and the 1st job is:

ffmpeg -y -threads 8 -i "F:\TestClips&Co\test.avi" -map 0:1 -vn -acodec copy  -map_metadata -1 -metadata handler_name="Hybrid 2014.07.08.1" "H:\Temp\iId_1_aid_1_17_19_19_1110_01.mp3"

-> since I can't reproduce the problem here my guess is that you either use a version before 'rev 2014.06.13.1' or you need to share more details about what you do.

Correct, 2014.4.4.1 - but in my defense, I have downloaded and installed the latest version on WinXP. I was shocked to find that it now seems to be gutted function-wise - x264/265 encoding missing, sox reported missing, so no audio etc. Should I take this to mean that XP is no longer being supported at all? On the plus side, I'm finally in the process of migrating from the long-EOL'ed Ubuntu 10.04, having recently installed Mint17, so I should be running an always-up-to-date Hybrid 'natively' before long.

Does your comment on 'rev 2014.06.13.1' mean that the problem I mention was fixed on this and subsequent versions?

[Selur]

Yes.

There's just a bug with detecting the tools, which I got fixed locally, but atm. I'm fighting with the dependencies of some tools. (work on my dev systems, but do not work on all systems, probably due to some missing dll, but I can't figure out which,...)

[omelette]

Great! I'll check this on Linux Mint and report back. Nice to know XP hasn't being abandoned entirely either.

[Selur]

No, Xp support is still there. On XP the only tool that isn't supported is DivX265, since DivX265 doesn't work on XP.

[omelette]

Ok, I've switched over to Linux Mint (temporarily) and things aren't as straightforward as I'd presumed. I downloaded the Hybrid QT5 GUI and it runs ok. First time I ran it, the log-tab listed a huge number of missing dependencies (obviously!), so I opened up the Synaptic package manager to see if these existed in the Linux repositories. The first was there, 'mediainfo', but the second 'mp4box' wasn't - so it wasn't a case of just working my way throught the list, installing each in turn! At this time I noticed that the Hybrid GUI was 'missing' - forgetting about the 'minimise to tray' feature. Unfortunately, there seems to be the same bug with native-Linux and the MATE-desktop manager, as there is with Wine regarding this feature - once it is minimised, there is no way to unminimise it! With Wine, the icon is visible in the 'tray', but clicking it has no effect, whereas with MATE, there is no visible icon in the tray to click.

On closing Hybrid forcibly and restarting it, I now find that the long list of dependencies has vanished from the log - so the warning is a one-time-only affair!

Also, I've also just installed the Latest Hybrid on Linux Wine and find it has the same bug that I experienced after installing it on WinXP itself - the one you're currently trying to track down.

So I'm a bit confused. You say you (understandably) don't supply the Linux binaries of the missing dependencies, so they must be available in the Linux repositories. However, since Hybrid's log-file no longer lists these dependencies, I don't know what to go looking for!
