how proceed work on subtitles?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
High Definition file

Hey guys, im new to this forum and i have tried using the encoder on here with an MKV file (which i think is a high definition file) and set the options accordingly with the video as hd input and resolution to wvga and normalise audio and when the process finally finished i tried playing it on my HTC Touch HD using coreplayer and the video was skipping loads! The audio was fine but it wasn't in synch with the video and the video kept skipping :( have i chosen the wrong settings or is there something else i have to do to make it smoother and better? It's a 720p video by the way.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MaierHermi:
in the command line. go to the encoder folder and write down:

encoder.exe -debug

and in the same folder you will find the log.txt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mickel198:
First off, thanks for the great program! Worked great for most videos, but I ran into a snag with one particular video. I've attached the log and any help would be greatly appreciated. Its only the one video that is producing a problem, and if I try to encode any other file it works perfectly. Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xhypnotik:
Thank you for this awesome superb program. It works great on the Htc Touch Pro (Att Fuze)! Takes awhile to convert on custom though. Kudos to you.

*Edit*

Starting to have problems after the first converted video.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] keithung:
The converter wroks very fine for me although it takes really some times.

The converted video can be played on hand held, however, with no sound.

Do any bro get the same problem? and how to solve it? Thx~!!

choice for audiotrack and subtitles

Cool! :)

The performance of the H264-Files is incomparably on my Blackstone.

Currently I use DVDx with Xvid with the coreplayer, the result is OK but slower than the H264 from your encoder.

How easily to recognize I'm not a native English-speaker, therefore I'm

watching English DVD's with subtiltles to improve my language skills.

Do you plan to install a choice for audiotrack and subtitles from the source

file?? - then I could bury DVDx ...

Steffen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I am actually working on it right now...

It is a bit hard to handle every subtitle source properly.

P.S. Thank you for your donation Steffen :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MobileXMan:
For me, the audio track would be enough:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PRAP:
Anyone knows if he SD Tune Up is to install in the main memory or in the memory card?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnpatcher:
I think it doesn't matter, because its just about changing some registry values.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Steffen_HTC_BS:
subtitles

The choice of the subtitle source from the VOB-file would be great. Additional subtitle files (SRT) would be cream ... but this is my second priority.

... appreciate your work very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Broetchen:
Okay, here we are: when trying to do as you told me - I get an error saying that the target does not exist. When trying to execute it via commend line, I get an error as shown in the attachment.

My file is TDK_TRL2_1080p.wmv, a dark Knight full HD Trailer from the Internet with the resolution 1920x1080, 8000 kBit/s at 23 fps

Don't know why it stotters
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dmakk:
Thanks for the excellent program. I've had great success with the videos so far. The only issue I've run into is where I have multiple audio tracks. Is there a way for us to choose which audio track to include, it would be appreciated by me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Working on that right now.... You will be able to choose audio tracks for VOB's and MKV's in next version...

I don't have a single DVD at home, so I have no idea how it will work. However, I will write support for *.idx and *.sub files.

*.srt etc is easy also.

No offence, but please get some basic windows knowledge.

You are renaming the exe file. That is not something you should do, as it searches for itself to determine the directory it is in.

You were told what to do. If you can not accomplish a such simple task, then wait, and hope that your issue will be fixed in the next version. Please don't flood the thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Broetchen:
Sorry projection, but I don't check how to execute it in Debug with according to your order - the link on my desktop is not executable when the target is named as "C:\Program Files\Encoder\Encoder.exe -debug"

I'm sorry, but I don't know how!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
It must be "C:\Program Files\Encoder\Encoder.exe" -debug NOT "C:\Program Files\Encoder\Encoder.exe -debug"

Also, a small teaser...

Current things done:

-added subtitle support

-added audio stream selection

-added .flv to default list of file extensions

-added video file analysis tool

-added help button explaining the "misc. options" section

-autocrop video height to resolution aspect (Album does this anyway, so it is a waste of bitrate not to)

-autoexpand video height to resolution aspect when displaying subtitles (puts bottom black border to use)

-fixed encoding failing sometimes with odd resolutions

-fixed encoding files without audio

Todo:

Make sure it all works properly...

Expect new version closer to the weekend... there is a ton of testing to do.

Please donate if you like what you are seeing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vosszaa:
Is it possible to add Drag & Drop before you release this weekend?? :P

If not dont worry, i can always wait.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
It is quite hard to add it...

I'd rather add other functionality first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrhanky:
I tested this app yesterday with the latest episode from The Big Bang Theory. As far I can see it works really really great! The 500mb .mkv file was changed to a 130mb mp4 file which has a suberb quality with the album player.

I will do some more testing but watch your paypal because you will get some money from me!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ninja Jaiden:
Hi, please try an add support for br-rips, as I tried to encode two files late last night using HD 720 settings and both ended up with errors, I didn't think to do debug log.txt as I was too tired, will do it next time.

Anyway love the app works brilliantly on most of my SD files but seems to be running my little 1.5GHZ Core2Duo CPU at 100.5 percent!!!! :eek:

Any reasons why its using so much process power:confused:

I know my pc's is not the fastest in the world but 100.5 seems quite high ;)

concidering most encoders I use have fairly low power consumption.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I have no idea what "br-rips" are, neither have you provided a logfile, so I can't help you.

If it means "bluray rip", then you could at least write what format you were encoding from. That said, most likely it is due to the resolution and is fixed for 1.20

Clearly 100.5 is an error in your graphing software, as it's not possible to use more than 100%.

Video encoding is a CPU demanding task. Of course, it can run at 50% using one core, but then you will wait 2x longer.

Personally, I buy a fast accelerating car to use that acceleration, not to say "my car has this spec, but I never open the throttle above 50%".

Please make a difference between "power consumption" and "cpu usage".

Power consumtion is measured in watts, cpu usage is measured in percentage.

Maximum CPU usage is a very good thing. It means that most other encoders are badly optimized and not taking advantage of the entire CPU.

P.S.

I do hope you were trolling. If you weren't O_O
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] makavelianz:
Actually i agree with ninja this program uses 100% of my cpu any chance you can lower it, i have 1.5 core 2 duo.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Err... you do realize that time needed for encoding and cpu usage are bound to eachother in a linear fashion?

As in, if it would use 50%, it would take 2 times longer to encode, right?

If you still wish that, just set affinity using task manager.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frederikk:
Moreover, it uses 100% of your CPU that means you do nothing else with your computer !

If you need some CPU power, it will give it back for what you need..

Ciao

Fred
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Exactly...

I am testing 1.2 now, it seems that it is surprisingly stable... what works:

1) Subtitles from srt, vob, ass, ssa and embedded subs in mkv

2) Audio stream selection

3) Autocrop, autoexpand for subtitles and "crop to aspect"

4) Analysis of files

5) Encoding files with messed up resolution

6) Encoding files without audio

I am still testing out some .mkv file things and after that I will release the new version :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Broetchen:
Okay, finally, I managed to get this Log.txt out! Could you please help me, projection?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
Just donated €2 for this amazing program :D keep it up! Intend on making future donations too...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Thanks.

If only everyone who used the program donated 2 euro... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kauka187:
Just wanted to post a thank you for the program. Been just downloading avi files off the net onto my HD but after getting battlestar galactica and having it run terribly i decided to try this and have been pleasantly suprised with the results.

I also think that its much faster than other programs out there as well. I used to convert videos onto my psp (using pspvc) and it took a very long time to encode video even though the results were very good but this is much much faster. Sux though that video files have to be "double handled" now in order to play well on our HDs. Its the reason i bought it so i didnt have to use my psp and lug around 3 or 4 different gadgets to watch movies, play games, listen to music and make phone calls/text.

anyways i digress.

Thanks alot projection
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pastaman:
When i convert the HD demo samples from microsoft:

Robotica_1080.wmv

wmv-pinball_720p.wmv

marbles_720p.wmv

after convertion when trying to play the mp4 files

i see an error in wmp: cannot play file.

coreplayer is playing audio but frames at 1 frame a second.

i know you stated not to use coreplayer, but is was just to test it after wmp failed.

Greetz
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
You are welcome...

I posted 1.20 now.

I tested it as well as I could, but I don't have every kind of movie and every special case.

So, if there are bugs, let me know and I will fix them for next version, just please post logs.

This version is here because of people who kept me motivated by donation, and also those who reported lots of issues with logs and patience. You know who you are, and I am grateful to you.

If this brings you the features you need, then please think about rewarding my work and donate. The amount is not very important give what you think it is worth - the strength is in numbers of people!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
That most likely means you installed many other players on your device and your codecs are broken.

Try and see if 1.20 works... if not, you need to most likely hard-reset your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pastaman:
guess i tested to many players and my codecs must be broken :s

not gonna test a hard reset, been tweaking my device for too long to hard reset now... damn shame.

Thx for the fast response and help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Broetchen:
Hey projection - did you see my post with my Log.txt?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
... yes of course I did.

If you would download 1.20, you would also realize the problem was fixed.

I read all posts here, but I can not reply to everyone.

Your problem was the same as experienced by quite a few other users and I was aware of it, in fact, when you posted the log file it was already fixed in 1.20, I was just testing it...

Anyway, you are not the only person in the thread. Also, no offence, but afaik you have not donated anything, so you don't really have any grounds to demand attention either.

What matters is, the problem should be fixed in 1.20. If it's not, please let me know and I will look at it further.

But please don't double-ask "have you looked at it? is it ready now?" etc... it achieves nothing - all feedback is valuable to me and is looked at.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BerreZ:
Hey Projection

Nice work you did there. It seems that something went wrong with the subtitles. Tried with srt,ass and ssa . Log Attached.

Thanks

tried converting an hq flv video i downloaded from youtube but got an error. "muxing failed"

ive converted an flv video before using a previous version (i think was version 1.0.4) of your encoder but didnt hv this problem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SingaporeAirlines:
Just downloaded the video that TNYYNT linked to.

Excellent playback quality. No dropped frame every fifteen seconds. No sound lag. Fantastic!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vosszaa:

Not working for my using vista 64 ultimate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rovex:
Im wondering if the gui is looking for things in the wrong place? Especially since x64 OSs have two program files directories.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rovex:
Ok fixed it.

The directory you unRAR the encoder to has to be in the route of C drive, not on any other drive. I have 4 hard drives and it didnt like being on any other drive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SingaporeAirlines:
Followed the steps and installed that CCCP thing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
That makes no sense at all...

It should work from any folder, unless it's a Vista Quirk.

I am running mine from d:\aaa\bbb\xxx\yy\zzz and it works just fine...

I will upload a new version now, as well as some better detailed instructions of how to send me log files.

Then we can troubleshoot the problem better.

Edit: I have uploaded a new version of the encoder and added some more information.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rovex:
No idea, but the same directory on my other 3 drives wont work, it has to be on C. Output looks good, trying a full HD movie now to see how it looks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Download the new version and put it in another directory together with the tools folder and run with -debug.

I'll see then what the problem might be.

If you encode HD, use 750kbit/s bitrate, 500 will generate some blockiness with HD sources.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poceh:
Great!! Thanks, I'll try it now. BTW, just to mention you've left neroaacenc.exe in the rar archive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
oops. I'll remove it :(

It never happened :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poceh:
Here it comes the first log file, when trying to convert VOB file.

11:47:29 Error encoding video...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chris Cross:
1. I am using Vista Home Premium 32 bit

2. I only have K-lite codec on my computer. I did not uninstall anything before trying this program.

3. I intalled Avisynth as suggested. However, I did not install CCCodec pack, because everything worked fine with the K-lite codec I already had.

I also wanted to say that I tried encoding an xvid video last night (about 200MB). The first ten minutes were perfect, but after that the video was extremely choppy and audio remained okay.

HOWEVER, soon after I started the conversion process, I had a lot of other programs running and downloads going - like youtube and others. I noticed my computer was lagging a bit in general, so I get the feeling that I overloaded it and the conversion process might have suffered. I did not get any error messages.

Will try that same video again today but without overloading my computer. :) I'll report back on it.

Cheers

EDIT: You can read the results after I tried it again. See this post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
What do you mean about "warning"?

I don't really have any dialog boxes in, that should warn you about anything except missing files.

As for mpeg/vob...

I made a 1.02 version, which should fix some file formats support, including mpeg/vob.

Going to update first post now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
And there are no other lines between 47:27 and 47:29?

Can you try running x264.exe from command line and see if it even runs at all?

You might need the 64bit version perhaps...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sameerabedi:
So far I'm getting the same message as many others "Unable to encode". With the latest version (1.0.1 beta) it's asking me to run with debug to generate a log file - I'm being a bit dense this morning, how do I run it with debug in order to generate a log file?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poceh:
I mean the error window where it states: "Audio encoding failed. Rerun with -debug and post the generated log.txt file!" although it has been run with debug param, but it's OK, not a big deal :)

Thanks, I'll try now with the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Create a shortcut to Encoder.exe.

Right-click on the shortcut and select "Properties".

Add -debug after Encoder.exe in the "Target".

After that it will make you a log.txt file, which you can upload here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I see what you mean.

This is purely cosmetical though ... I'll fix it for next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
hey ive noticed a lot of people are having issues with the new version and so am i :( lol i keep getting an error message saying muxing failed when i try starting the conversion process. The log file is attached. Thanx.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Fixed most of the issues in 1.21.

I will also try to add DVD support for 1.22...

For both PAL and NTSC DVD's.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
A big thank you to the guys (Bernard & Ivo) who donated 25 EUR and 23 EUR!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrhanky:
Yesterday converted 2 movies and again it worked super. One SD file and one HD file, both converted as SD file and both are sharp and look great.

I donated +/- $30 (I'm from holland so it can be a bit more, currency...)

Thank you...

Try version 1.21 though, it should fix some quirks.

Hi,

Click button Analyze file..., then click button Cancel on OpenFile dialog, an error occured. The same error if I choose an invalid file (such us .exe file).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Will fix it in 1.22, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Uglymike:
Love the program!!

GREAT program!!

Last night, I converted (with v1.19) my StarShip Troopers DVD:

DVD Decryptor to copy the VOB files to my disk

VobMerge to merge the movie VOBs into a single VOB

Video converter to convert the resulting 6GB+ VOB file to 669MB mp4

Result: plays flawlessly and in exquisite detail (eg the space battle) on both Album and WMP from the 8Gig flashcard (no special SD tuning program used).

My buddy with an Omnia copied it on his device to try, but the result was unwatchable: complete desync between voice and video (well, not really video, more like a slidehow... :D)

As you can see from the Workflow (if you know of better ie faster options, please say so...), adding a direct DVD to Touch HS option would be very welcome here (provided I can loose the cruft of trailers etc). I could then fire it up, walk away and come back to a finished job....

If you pull it of, I swear there'll be some euros going your way!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I will try...

I know that mplayer can play DVD directly, but I am not sure about how it will work with chapters and other things.

I have only watched one DVD ever... so I don't know much about DVD's.

Either way, I will try to implement it tonight, don't kill me, if it doesn't work though, as I will have no means of testing it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BerreZ:
Thanks

Hi Projection ,

Download 1.21 , converted the same file and this time with succes .

Thanks again for your quick and excellent work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Strus:
Great work. Really well done.

I just have problem with subtitles. I have converted episode of Family Guy and I have ticked subtitles. The .txt file was in the same catalogue. Unlucky when I play movie on HD there is no subs. Subs are in Polish. Maybe that's the reason ?

Any help, please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
.txt subs are not picked up right now.

Rename the file to .srt for now (meaning, change the extension only), it should work that way. I will add support for .txt subs in 1.22.

Thank you for your report.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tnyynt:
Moved to Development & Hacking since it's gone multi-device!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rishi_Tank:
hey i have an idea! Why not put elapsed/remaining time when converting a video? That would be really useful :) hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
I welcome all users of Diamond & Xperia & Touch Pro devices to test, along with Touch HD users :)

Let me know how it works for the Diamond and Touch Pro, as they have a little bit different hardware (different resolution, a bit different chip). Preliminary tests indicate that it works just fine though.

As always, please donate if it solves your video playback problems, as I have put a large amount of time into developing and testing this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Not possible to calculate accurately.

There are three passes:

1) First pass video

2) Second pass video

3) Muxing video

The first two depend very heavily on your CPU type, and the first can be a lot faster than the second for some CPU's.

The third one depends purely on I/O performance.

It is not possible to give an accurate estimate for everything. And I prefer not to guess...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hex_cz:
I have problem with subtitles. I added czech subtitles and they are displayed wrong in video. They are there, but some of the letters are not allright. What I mean is that czech language have letters like ě š č í which are not encoded correctly. So for example word český will look like .esky: . It would probably help if it was possible to choose font of the subtitles.

Anyway your program is avesome. It' piece of art. No kidding.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] projection:
Thanks :)

I will see if it will be possible to add an option choose the encoding for subtitles in the future... I anticipated this problem.

Current stats for the encoder:

Hits: 30571

Same problem with czech subtitles on my end as well, so this is really problem.

I vote for subs language encoding.

Thanks a lot!
