Please tell me which software can encode video with following setting.

[raman07]

Hi, I want to render/encode my video with the below setting. But i did not find any software which i can use to encode my video with these setting I am pasting Mediainfo setting here and i want to create other video on the same setting please tell me which software i can use to achive same format, frame rate, GOP m n valuse etc.




Please i want exact setting. See there are GOP m n defined but i did not find setting this setting in any encoder.
I will be really thankful to you for it if you help me.

[LigH.de]

The values M and N describe the maximum number of frames in "sub-GOPs" (frames with references to the last I or P frame) and the maximum GOP length (frames depending on the last I frame, also indirectly).

It seems that this encoder did not use any B frames, but up to 60 frames per GOP (up to 2 seconds at 30 fps, the maximum allowed on Blu-ray or AVCHD under certain conditions).

To resemble this result, you can probably use any converter supporting x264 as encoder, limiting the maximum of consecutive B frames to 0 and reference frames to 1.

But why do you believe you need to produce such a not at all optimal structure?

[raman07]

Its about my college project they are teaching us encoding but i am not understanding it. I need to create another video file with same setting.
So can i use Adobe premier pro or vegas? If you don't mind can you suggest me any converter or encoder which is simple enough to create video file with these setting?

[LigH.de]

I do not know any commercial encoder, I only use freeware. So I don't know from own experience which encoders support the M,N notation. But I found an attachment in a post in the doom9 forum which shows such an encoder. I guess this is the "x264 Pro" encoder plugin for Adobe Premiere in CS6.

To use x264 as freeware CLI encoder (possibly in a GUI like MeGUI, StaxRip, Hybrid, etc.), some of the required options would be: Maximum GOP size = 60; maximum B frames = 0 (but there may be more I did not care about here).

[raman07]

Thank you for it.......I will try it.

[raman07]

Hey mate, Plugin you suggested is paid but i got his trial but my mediainfo still do not match with it. I m getting completely different mediainfo views. I see the thread you suggested me of doom9 forum. In that thread OP use megui to encode his video and he is getting all the value which i want to get for my file but i try to encode with megui and did not get even close value in mediainfo. I just start using megui so i am just hoping you might have good experience in encoding videos so can you please look in the doom9 thread you linked here and see what setting OP used.
This is setting of OP of doom9 forum which is similar to mine but i do not know how to achive this how i can configure megui to get these attribution.

You cannot tell definitively if a video used x264 for encoding, because you can modify the SEI user data that has the encoding settings.

Mediainfo isn't necessarily accurate for actually identifying these things. You need a stream analyzer if you want it to be accurate. Or is your project just to satisfy what "mediainfo" says , not the actual video ? Mediainfo doesn't scan the file , it just reads metadata tags. Think of it as a 'label' . You can change labels, but that doesn't change the actual video data

In your first post, the metadata says googlevideo - so if that is true, then it is using an x264 derivative for certain. It's just using a modified custom SEI user data string (it doesn't print the encode settings)

[raman07]

I read a doom9 thread and the user using h264 format and he is getting GOP format setting and i need that GOP setting in my project but I am not getting it. Also i am interested in stream analyzer if it is easy for noob. Do you have any idea how i can get this GOP format setting in my mediainfo view. I also need to explain it later in class.

What i know is doom9 forum user using megui to encoding video so i try megui with x264 format but result are different

[poisondeathray]

If you want mediainfo to say M=1, N=60 , set --bframes 0 --keint 60

(set bframes to zero, max keyframe interval to 60, reference frames to 1, in megui)

(You should explain in class that mediainfo isn't accurate and you might get bonus marks LOL)

[raman07]

I am getting this i did not find --keint setting in megui there are so many setting i don't know which to change. If you do not mind can you quickly try yourself because i think megui has changed and now it is not possible to achieve this setting or any other encoder? Even reference frame are not changing. If it is possible to upload screenshot of setting will make my work easy.

[smrpix]

Is this the same file? I would pay a lot more attention to big things like raster size, aspect ratio and framerate before tackling the arcana of GOPs.

[badyu17]

It's --keyint, it was a typo. In megui this is under maximum GOP setting. Also, set "number of B-frames to 0.

edit: Yup smrpix is right, frame rate is different, resolution as well.

[raman07]

it does not matter which file you choose to encode. What i want to do is pick any file and encode it with my above setting. Resolution can be different. Main thing is GOP and Reference frame. Resolution can be different.
I just start using megui after finding that it can be use to achieve what i want to do but i do not know how to configure megui to encode video with my setting. You can pick any video in your pc and try to encode it with my given setting. I tried several time but mine results are completely different.

Even GOP is not visible in my encoded videos.

[poisondeathray]

Did you care about the audio?

I'll make it easy for you

1) download ffmpeg.exe from http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/ , place ffmpeg.exe in the same directory of video to be converted

2) download batch.zip from below, unzip it, and it will have batch.bat within. Place batch.bat into the same directory of video to be converted

3) drop and drag the video to be converted onto batch.bat. The current output file location is c:\ , and the output file is called OUTPUT.mp4

This is what the batch file is (you can check it with a text editor), and it includes AAC audio encoding at 192kbps in MP4 container

ffmpeg -i %1 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 3.1 -preset:v faster -crf 20 -x264opts ref=1:keyint=60:bframes=0 -c:a libvo_aacenc -b:a 192k -brand "mp42" -movflags faststart "c:\OUTPUT.mp4"

pause

So you can open batch.bat with a text editor like notepad, and specify a different directory location instead of c:\, or output filename by replacing "c:\OUTPUT.mp4" to something else, then save it.

[raman07]

It does not work perfectly but some otherway i achieve what i want to do. ffmpeg look cool.
Thanks for everyone help and time.

[poisondeathray]

What do you mean it does not work perfectly ?

isn't that what you want ?

Format profile : High@L3.1
Format settings, CABAC : Yes
Format settings, ReFrames : 1 frame
Format settings, GOP : M=1, N=60
Codec ID : avc1

It produces those settings and mediainfo results. If you have other operations that you need to do (e.g. this is NTSC DVD, and you need to IVTC or something else, that is separate operation from encoding)

Or clarify what you want in more detail

[raman07]

It does not show GOP : M and N setting but i find when i render the video which is produce by ffmpeg in the camtasia then it start showing GOP so it look what i need. I just checked it again and last time result were little different then this time so its work with combine one more rendering with camtasia.

Thanks for it

[poisondeathray]

In order for mediainfo to show GOP, M/N settings - the video has to be more than a few seconds, maybe 10 seconds or more? (ie. short video duration won't work)

[raman07]

mine video is 2:33 in time.

[poisondeathray]

mine video is 2:33 in time.

Was that the video that does NOT display mediainfo M/N Gop settings ?

[raman07]

yes it does not show GOP setting after rendering with ffmepg.

[poisondeathray]

yes it does not show GOP setting after rendering with ffmepg.

What does mediainfo (view=>text) say about the INPUT file ? copy & paste back here please

INPUT file, not OUTPUT file

[raman07]

sorry but what do you mean by input file.

[poisondeathray]

sorry but what do you mean by input file.

The video before encoding with ffmpeg. The source video you used to convert

[poisondeathray]

I don't know why it doesn't display the info in the output video for that specific video. It works on other videos with similar specs , and it worked with your camtasia video. Can you upload it here since it's not too big?

And for my own curiosity , why do you have to satisfy what mediainfo reports ?

[raman07]

I will upload and send you....mine uploading speed is 50KB/sec and right i am using the bandwidth. I will upload video and send you.

[poisondeathray]

Nevermind...

You need to disable scenecut to make it say it ALL the time. This , of course is bad in general for quality, but it will satisfy your mediainfo requirement - I still have no idea why you're doing that it's a really silly requirement

(This means each GOP will be fixed, not adaptive)

ffmpeg -i %1 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level:v 3.1 -preset:v faster -crf 20 -x264opts ref=1:keyint=60:bframes=0:scenecut=0 -c:a libvo_aacenc -ac 2 -b:a 192k -brand "mp42" -movflags faststart "c:\OUTPUT.mp4"
