Central European

Me again. How about those Central European subtitles? I convert HD movies for my HTC Touch HD and the experience is unbelievable, but I'm still in need for central european subtitles support, because I don't want to embed subtitles onto the movie with virtualdub or something similar and thus encode it to ordinary divx, I want to encode mkv directly to mp4. Any chance of that?

It shouldn't matter how much you have running in the background really...

I think the issue is with the Blackstone. Perhaps it started running something in the background?

If you start the video, then scroll to say... 20 minutes, is it still choppy?

Is it choppy if you scroll to 20 minutes and let it play for 10 minutes?

Is the video choppy when you play it back on your computer?

A lot of questions... sorry...

Thank you :p

Tried what you've said but it says the "name specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure path and filename are correct"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
It is weird that you have a 4 second pause with no output.

Normally it should output something... at least an error. I suspect x264 does not run at all.

Please try running the included x264.exe from the command prompt. See if it displays a help screen or anything at all...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poceh:
If you have a space in the path to the converter program, you should surround the exe filename and path with double quotes. Then it'll work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Make sure you don't put quotes around it.

It should be:

"X:\zzz\aaa\yy\Encoder.exe" -debug

Exactly like that.

Not "X:\zzz\aaa\yy\Encoder.exe -debug"

Notice where the quotes are.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
poceh, does converting VOB work for you now?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poceh:
Yes! Just tested it and it works perfectly. Even MPEG files are encoding without problems.

Thanks! You've been really fast!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Good, at least it works for some people... :D

Also, those having problems, check post #2 in forum.

Make sure you try all of those things and see where stuff breaks.

If WMP on your computer can't play the file you are trying to convert, then my GUI is not going to work either.

Make sure you can play the files you can convert with WMP on your PC. Not VLC player or other players which have their own codecs.

That means you have some settings messed up or the video is messed up.

Can you guys open the temp.avs file in the same folder as the program with Windows Media Player and see if it plays?

This is very odd.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vosszaa:
If you have any problems:

1. Check if you can play the video you are trying to encode in Windows Media Player on your computer. It is important, that you use WMP for this (or mplayer2.exe), because they use the DirectShow codecs that my encoder uses.

My vdo can play on WMP11 with no problem.

2. If you can't play the video - check if something is wrong with your video, otherwise uninstall all codec packs, and install this one:

http://www.cccp-project.net/download.php?type=cccp

Already uninstall my Divx Bundle Codec pack and install yours.

3. If you can play the video - the program should leave a "temp.avs" in it's directory when it errors out. Try opening that with WMP on your computer. Does it work? If not, most likely you haven't installed avisynth. But let me know.

It does leave the temp.avs as u say and i try to play it with WMP11 then it says the extension file is not recognised then i click ok to force it to play then i notice on the status bar it shows up "media changing" then it start to play the original vdo file as normal?!?!?

4. If it still doesn't work, or if you are able to watch the video in WMP on your computer, but the conversion fails, run Encoder.exe -debug. With that switch, it will generate a log.txt file in the same folder as it is located. Please upload that log.txt file here, so I can see where the problem is.

ok, so heres my log again:

23:29:19 Starting to convert E:\My Download Files\New Gui\_MV_ Kara - Pretty Girl.avi to E:/My Download Files/New Gui/_MV_ Kara - Pretty Girl.mp4

Remember, this is still BETA sofware. We only tested it on XP and 32 bit Vista, so submit the logfiles and I will try to fix the problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidar.ostrem:
Plays just fine in WMP11...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Ok, so video is handled fine...

Go to the folder the encoder.exe is in

And execute what it tries to execute.

For example:

See what that gives you.

The log file doesn't show that x264 even started. That's the problem.

Here is one video clip I've encoded with this great tool:

http://rapidshare.com/files/179664108/Basshunter_-_Now_You_re_Gone.mp4

I've noticed that on some fast moving parts in the video (in the second part in the disco club) the WMP in Blackstone plays it interlaced for a moment. On my desktop PC I can't notice such thing, only on Blackstone. I've noticed that this appears on some other videos as well. If you want, try to play that video on your phone (if you like I can cut a small piece of fast moving scene only and upload it).

The interlaced lines appears also when the movie changes from one scene to another immediately. On when there are fast-moving scenes (like shaking hands, car runs, etc). Have anyone else noticed that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
The problem is that Touch HD can't handle over 1000 bitrate with 800x480 res...

With smaller res it can, but it might produce hickups. Due to h264 being VBR, what I did was cap the bitrate at 1000.

Try encoding with 750kbit/s on medium, and see how it goes.

Also, sorry, but... basshunter T_T

Anyone? It happens when i'm trying to convert video. But some video's he converts some doesn't. What could be the problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] berk_bear:
Thanks! The screen resolution on Athena is 640*480, but WMP on this device don't understand format of video, encoded by this converter in that resolution. :( Maybe it must been 320*240 for athena's native WMP?

And some good news: Core Player with ATI Imageon's "hardware acceleration" (in video options) can play this recoded videos (640*480) more fast, than "standard" video in this resolution. It is some gain of speed, but not dramatically... Hope to see further solutions for video optimization for Athena. :)

Handling of m2ts files

Hi,

tried several times to convert a m2ts file to mp4 with HD setiing. I only get AAC audio and no video. Do I have to convert the file to a different format? A small comment to support input formats in first page would be fine. The m2ts was remuxed and contains only English audio track.

Please advice.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] doministry:
This program is actually strangely problematic.

Just cannot be started some days after installing this. And slows down my computer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rubbermonkey123:
Firstly, thanks for the great program. Videos are played back in very good quality using album or WMPlayer.

There are a couple of things which I would like to know though, is mencoder.exe the best of programs to use for this purpose or are there other alternatives which you could have chosen like ffmpeg.

The reason why I ask is that this encoder takes a very long time to encode, when compared to FFMPEG based encoders and that MENCODER.EXE uses up 100% cpu on my laptop in the process.

Or is it possible to incorporate settings into this which would allow for faster encoding? That would be awesome then.

Excellent work for this program. Your hard work is much appreciated.

Sorry for late reply, I have had issues here.

AVI ReComp guide:

Download the program and install it.

Initial screen, choose source file (and optionally output file).

Second tab "Additions", choose subtitles enable and load your desirable subtitle file (I have been using srt format).

Check the third tab "settings" for more settings. If you dont know what they are, leave them as they are.

Fouth tab "Queue", click "add to queue" and then click on start button below.

(the queue is useful for letting the PC convert many videos and if you also want to shutdown after finishing.)

All clear?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] limache:
Lol is there a Mac version? I need a good video converter for Mac...help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Taxythingy:
Thanks Dude!

Your tool is just what I need.

I've been running several apps to make my DVDs portable, including originally Super and then MeGUI (better quality and more control). However your tool makes it much easier and quicker to get the results I want, and the files are 25% smaller. I'm about to find out how that subtitle routine is working for some of my Hong Kong cinema!

Have a donation to the cause (83K36166HY3744507) - you deserve it!

Many thanks,

Error locating tools folder

When I run Encoder, I get an error dialogue with no title, and the message "Error locating tools folder.". Using the -debug switch doesn't produce anything, so it would appear that the error occurs before logging starts.

Any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WM_Rizzo:
Don't know if anyone mentioned this already, but is there any way to include cropping and preview of it? This would be extremely useful for 16:9 videos which were encoded as 4:3, with black bars. I'm thinking something like VirtualDub's null transform filter, where you can drag and crop the way you see fit.

Video Encoding Success or so.

HI. This Is my very first post here so i got this app working well.

This is a description of what i use in general;

X1a LATAM,

i managed to convert a mkv sample file and a full movie in avi with subtitles working well perfect audio sync, my X1a it is unaltered, wel only xperia tweak and sd tuner mentioned in the first or second post.

attached a complete list of codecs + filters i have in my computer i used GSpot v2.60 for that.

how i did? i just downloaded the app, run it "as administrator" i chosed SD input and wvga for the avi + srt subtitle file ticked the use subtitles.

for the mkv file HD input no subtitles and didn't mess with anything else

after a couple of hours or maybe more for the 701MB avi file plus respective .srt file at the very end of 3rd pass or process it appeared a error msg i almost fainted. but everything went well after all. transfered a 568MB.mp4 file to the sd card and opened in the x1a, video ok, audio ok, subtitles ok actualy looks even better than in my pc i watched the entire movie flawlessly.

the log of the error says this

no subs in touch HD video converter 1.21

Firstly I really want to thank you projection because of this great program. Finally I am able to watch flawless videos on my Blackstone. Thus, I want to donate but I dont know how.... This is my first PDA so forgive me if I ask silly questions and take your time...

My only problem about this program is that whatever I try I can not see the subtitles on my touch hd.. I tried to do exactly what was written on the forum and on the help file to achieve in order to see the subs but no help. I `add` the divx movie to the program, the folder where I added the divx movie also contained the subtitle with the same name as the movie and the extension was changed as .srt (the original sub was .srt) then I run the program and I have a flawless video but no subs... I really tried to find the solution by myself, from forum and from google but no help...

I finally found another program called AVI_ReComp_1.4.5 to paste the subs to the movie and i managed but then when I convert the movie with video converter 1.21 the subs just vanished... And touch HD can not play movies converted by AVI ReComp...

Anyway,

Thanx a lot in advance....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BBGood:
ok, but

This is a great tool all around, but one thing i am in need of is something to convert the videos that are captured with the diamond.

The vids playback perfect on the phone, but when i transfer them to the pc and try to play them i get errors with quicktime. I dl'd a codec pac and now they play via WMP but the res is horrible.

So, i take great vids, plays great on phone but on pc it's crap, sometimes no sound. So, what gives or is there a program to ease this frustration.

Dear projection, many thanks for your work. I hope to see some similar features for HTC Athena (x7510, x7501, x7500 Advantage).

If it possible... it will be great.

I am not sure about VC1. Mencoder might be lacking some required DLL-s.

Try extracting the windows-all codec pack from here http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/ to the tools dir and see if it helps.

If it does and you can find out which file exactly makes it work, i'd be very grateful.

No, it would not really. It would only increase memory usage.

But hey, if you can find a 64 bit mencoder binary for windows, you can drop it in there as replacement. Good luck on that one (haha).

It automatically cuts the sides off on too wide video, since album does that anyway. I guess I can include an option not to in the future.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Geeba:
Thanks projection appreciate the pointer...

As a work around if I lower the output res would it stop this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] itsme_4ucz:
If you do not want to crop the video, the only option left is LetterBoxing i.e, padding the source video with black strips this will make sure that sourceAspectRatio = targetAspectRatio, no information loss.

Just tried the encoder out for my X1. The results are quite nice, and it's very easy to use! I encoded a few Top Gear season 11 episodes for some rainy days using the SD option (since the videos were 640 pixels width).

I do notice that using Windows media player or the album in HTC's TF3D do have a little stuttering every now and then. Starting, stopping, and seeking are all quite quick.

When I use the Sony multimedia panel for playback, it stutters a lot less and it's a bit snappier with the controls so I may use that for playback.

All in all, very good program, thanks for creating it!
