The complete HD (Blu-ray/HD-DVD) back-up thread.

Depends on the definition of interlaced... What is the resolution and what type of interlacing? Also, what is the frame rate?

 

1080i60/1.001 according to eac3to. Interlaced, top field first.

 

Are you able to simply remove pulldown flags and restore it to 24fps?

 

There are no pulldown flags. It's 29.97fps, 1080i.

 

Thank you very much, this may sound like a silly question, but do I need to uninstall my current megui before installing/using this one to avoid any conflicts?

 

Ok guys I'm trying to figure this stuff out. I opened the avs script creator, loaded the movie m2ts from my bluray, select crop and auto crop, select resize to 1280 with suggest resolution checked then save.

In megui I select my output folder, then select the ryu77 avchd high quality profile then I configure it to use constant quality instead of two pass with a CQ of 18. I then choose rawavc, enqueue, and then start.

When encoding is finished i end up with only a 1gb .264 video file. What am i doing wrong? Am is missing a step or using a wrong setting perhaps?

Thanks

 

Before you enqueue go to Settings --> Bitrate calculator, and enter your desired size. The enqueue and start encoding.

 

I still need to calculate a bitrate even if I'm using constant quality and not choosing a desired ending file size?

Also I am leaving the avisynth profile as scratchpad and not changing any settings. Is this correct while using one of ryu's profiles?

 

The fact that it's 29.97fps indicates that there has been some sort of telecine processing done to the video stream to change it from it's original 24fps/23.976fps. The most common being 3:2 pulldown. I would recommend experimenting with a manually created AVIsynth script and seek one frame at a time to see if you can identify the telecine pattern. Once you have done this, you should be able to work out what inverse telecine process is needed to restore the video back to 23.976fps therefore making it a 1080p video once again.

 

I tried a 10 minute sample... typical recode. It worked just fine, I will start the whole thing soon.

Ryu77 Ultra High quality = 24 hour recode on a Quad core !!! Holy cow.

 

Really? Ultra High quality shouldn't take that long. My Q6600 OC'd to 3.0Ghz typically takes about 12 - 14 hours on that profile. The Insane Quality profile should take at least 24 hours though... Which is why you need to be insane to use it.

 

LOL, insane. Well, here's the details on my 2.4GHz quadcore.

HDDVD VC-1 to h264 (Ryu77 AVCHD Ultra High Quality)

143041 frames
Runtime: 1hr 40min
1st Pass Avg: 8.5fps
2nd Pass Avg: 2.5fps - still running at the moment.
Priority: Low

Total recode time: Approx encode time should be 21 hours... (still encoding at the moment).

 

Try using my iMac 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. When I got my computer I thought man it's gonna be fast and truth be told it was/is. However Ryu's profiles have quite the way of humbling processors. You quad core guys are concerned about your encoding times huh? Try a minimum of 24 hours encoding time for any length film using Ryu's "High Quality" profile. Of course this could be perhaps I believe when I launch of activity monitor it's only using one of my processors to encode. But I am not sure. I just know when I am encoding in Parallels running Windows XP, the mac side of my computer experiences no noticeable slowdowns. But the point of this post is, appreciate those quad-core machines guys, you could be stuck on a machine such as myself.

 

Hi friends.. i give you what a very.very got post for me about MEgui..

But what about MEGui witch is the latest MEGui ....3014 or 3018 I have the 3001 of yours making RYU.. and is 3014-3018 one of your doings..
Cheers

 

Hi again have now installed and unstalled latest builds 1014,1016,1018
and the same result stops to do anything after pressing start, i reinstalled 1006 to see if its better...it worked before..
cheers.

Vista Ultima 32 C2D E675 4GB Ram 2,5TB HD

 

The thing about bitrate calculator it always updated the x264 profile with 37500 in bitrate pretty much for a standar BD i think, i want it to be a dvd5 bitrate..

 

Next thing cant use AvsScritpcreator after doing that is mentioned in Ryu pdf guide ( btw superb up to day, have work like a clock)..
Error:

Error avs

Fatal error

I will try to go back to a restorepoint 3days ago and see what happen..
If anybody have a clue ..please feel fre to add one..
Cheers

 

Is everything ok now harnarn, or are you still having trouble?

 

Here's another nice little GUI for EAC3to (UsEac3to) that might be worth experimenting with...

I've also updated some software and definitions on the first post on this thread.

 

Hey Ryu ..
I did have some kind same problem for 48hours..
I'v reinstalled and uninstalled different builds like 3001,3004,3014, bla,bla
Uninstalled and reinstalled K-Lite Codec Pack latest..
---,,---,,----AviSynth 2.5
and on and on different errors all the time , not able to red with avscreator
Avs error

Not encoding:
No encode only time goes

Bitrate Calculator add its own nubers and times:
Bitrate calculator

Avs Synth not able to render:

Avs synth error 2

MeGui called it of four the day:
Me Gui fatal error

And so it went on and on..
I gave up and uninstalled MeGUI and AviSynth and net.Framework 1.1/ sp1 update and K-Lite Codec Pack.

But i didn't want to go in bed without a final try....
Installed first net.Framework 3,5 sp1
AviSynth 2.5.8 i think , the latest build
K-Lite Codec Pack latest build
and MeGui 0.3.1.1020
and loaded avsfile..no protest
loaded mkv file ....no protest
configured it ( mkv preset)
en queued it and start encode,
Like a clock it started up after 48 hours of headache
i don't knew what i did right but it was able to encode during night and give a output in right format..
..


Only on thing left i have to go in to process manager to stop MeGui runing in the background , but newer mind it works to encode with it..

The thing i can see in MeGui logfile is what net.Framework 3,5 sp1 includes 2.0
