another command line

The Mediacoder phase one command line is:

# ".\codecs\mencoder.exe" pipe:7 -demuxer rawvideo -rawvideo fps=25/1:w=616:h=254:format=i420 -of rawvideo -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=$(VideoBitrate):qcomp=0.6:qp_min=10:qp_max=51:qp_step=4:level_idc=30:dct_decimate:me=hex:me_range=16:keyint=250:keyint_min=25:fast_pskip:nocabac:bframes=0:threads=auto:frameref=1:subq=6 -nosound -o "$(DestFile)"

Don't know: pipe:7 could mean something relate to the number of cores. Don't think, but right now the manual page doesnt work.

The difference in incredible, with mediacoder I make a conversion in 15-20 min. With your program it takes more than 1 hour.

But I'd like to use your program because of the crop ability, and :eek:more because Mediacoder doesnt work as I want with dvds.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
The big difference isn't the multithread, is that my program codes the video in two steps (pass=1 and pass=2) to get a better quality. The command you post here makes it in an only pass.

Another thing you can try is copy the command showed in my log, and change threads=auto with threads=8. After that run it from a MSDOS window (copy and paste)

Try with for example from 0:01:00 and 0:10:00. Sometimes if you ignore the beginning of the film, it works well.

Have you chosen, in the options page, 'Calculated' in ScrollBar Method?

Mp4ForHD v2.2

New Version 2.2.

- The program has been renamed to Mp4ForHD (Mp4 for Hand-held Devices). It's because at the beginning, it was thought for Htc HD, but now supports a lot of devices.

- 3 differents coding ways: X264 2 pass (as version 2.1), X264 1 pass (only 1 pass. Sligthly less quality, but less time to encode), and LAVC (a codec that i tested for PSP, but surprisely is supported by the Htc HD. It's ultrafast, only spends 1/4 time of X264 2 pass, although loses quality. It's ideal for TV series)

- Full support for the PSP (X264 and LAVC codecs). It creates a jpg with a miniature of an instant of the film.

- I think I have solved the problem with 'REAL' method of ProgressBar calc.

- Final resolution (when changing aspect and crop) is better calculated.

The setup file is here:

It looks like it could be a great app. I'll check it out. Thanks!

I've used Encoder (from XDA forum) a couple of times and although it does a great job and the quality is really good, it takes me almost 40 minutes to encode a 21-minute divx TV show (170 MB large). That's a bit slow for my taste. However, part of that is because I have a Pentium 4 with 2.6 GHz cpu and 1.5 GB RAM.

Anyway, I'm downloading your app now. I want to compare speeds using that same divx file.

UPDATE:

I just tried it with the same video I mentioned and it only took 7 minutes to encode that 21-minute TV show using the LAVC setting. Wow - that is 1/6 the time it takes with Encoder. However, the loss of quality is obvious, but I have to admit it is still a very decent quality and plays well on the HD. I also noticed the navigation bar on the Touch HD is a bit choppier and seeking is a bit sluggish, when compared to videos encoded with Encoder. I will try other settings to make a fairer comparison between the two programs. All I am saying is that it is nice to have the option to encode a lot faster with only a small loss of quality.

Thanks again for your work on this. This might become my main app for encoding videos for my HD. :D

Oh - one correction. On the title bar, it says "converter for Handle Devices". I think you mean for "Hand-held Devices". Esos pequeños errores son faciles de cometer. :)

Any way to have a 480x800 file very high quality playing smoothly on HD?

Can we have the edit button (at least the quality setting) for the whole playlist?

Also, when editing would it be possible that mplayer won't start? Maybe an additional button to do this. I'm saying this because if you use Windows7/Vista it's very annoying to have AERO disabled every time you change the quality setting.

New Mp4ForHD v2.2b

New version 2.2b.

- Now you can select Audio Bitrate (160 kbps,128 kbps,96 kbps,64 kbps and 32 kbps)

- If Output File exists, it isn't replaced. Now the program gives it a secuential number (For example Australia01.mp4)

- If conversion process is aborted, then Output File is deleted.

- French Language added.

The update is attached.

Simply copy the folder included in the zip to the Program File Directory.

Setting recommendation

Tried different version and different files. But currently encoder seems to deliver sharper pictures. Sometimes I can see mpeg artefacts if there is a lot of motion in the video. There are too much settings in Mp4. Can you confirm that videos will be smooth even in highest quality setting. If h264 is a vbr codec the quality setting will change the maximum encoding rate, isn't it`? As it takes much time to encode I dont want to play with the settings until its smooth. On the other hand I like sharp pictures. I wanted to check if stuttering with HD albu player happens if bitrate is high, but I dont know a way to display the current video bitrate in a player.

Please recommend a high quality setting for PAL DVDs and HD videos, which is still absolutely smooth.

1) quality setting for the whole playlist

Sorry, but this converter is really slow, 1,5 h and I am still at first step.

Converting mkv HD to mp4.

I prefer winavi mp4 converter. Winavi can convert mkv HD 1080p to mp4 in about 1 h. And regular divx/xvid to mp4 in about 8 min. (I have core 2 duo 2,67)

OK, I converted all movie (Shrek 3). Conversation time: 3h 50 min. I must say, picture is fantastic, I can't belive my eyes. The file size is also great. From 4,5 GB mkv source I get 600 MB mp4 file.

Thanks for converter.

Can everybody with good attemps post his setting and give following info:

Source: DVD / HD mkw ... Name of Video

Mp4ForHD Setting: High quality / Normal quality ...

Smoothness on HD: perfect no stuttering / sometimes / ...

SD Card: Class 4

SD Tune xda-dev: yes / no
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chris Cross:
I second those suggestions.

First:

It would be nice to be able to enter the edit settings without automatically starting to play the video. Right now, the moment I press Edit - Vista flashes back and forth as it switches to Vista Basic since apparently the player cannot be run in Vista Premium with Aero-glass scheme turned on. So, it's a bit annoying to deal with that just to reach the edit window.

It would be nice if by pressing Edit, the main window simply expanded to the right to show the edit settings. And with a separate button to start playing the video manually.

Second:

An option to check "apply settings to all files" would be nice too.

Third:

This one is not so important, but it would be nice to see the video bitrate (in kpbs) along with the resolution, duration, and frame rate in the queue list.

Keep up the great work. It's turning out to be a useful application.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] PRAP:
Nice converter.

Does it really support subtitules?

Because I don't see anything to activate or not.

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
Yes, if a srt with the same name as InputVideo is present, subtitles will be integrated.

You can preview it, if you push button Edit.

But don't support ŠČŽ .Slovenia, Croatian,,,,special letters.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
It's a problem of MEncoder. I'm sorry.

Before this weekend version 2.3 will be done.

Its main features will be:

Great work on this one. i used to have 2 programs, one for merging the subs and one for the encoding but with this one is much easier. Although i have a problem. i use Greek subs and i can't see right. i got some crazy letters (A$%TR%^#) instead of the normal greek one. is there a way to fix this??

something wrong with the unicode??

Hi

I tried converting this show 'Pink Panther' (Region 3) DVD. I can't select subtitle. How come?

Edit: Tried converting other shows I can select subtitle. Also, the movie for Pink Panther came out not running smooth but some others ok. Think cannot set too high a bitrate. Anything below 800 should be ok..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
New version 2.3

The changes of this version are:

- A new codec named Lavc+, with more quality than Lavc, but a 30% more conversion time.

- Now in options form you can set output resolution ratio (not only Full or Crop to Device)

- You can make your own video settings profiles. Examples: HD Quality, HD TV Series, PSP, Diamond crop to Device, Diamond 16/9, etc.

- Now you can multiselect files in pending videos queue. After that, you can delete, move, or apply a profile to all the selected videos.

- A new button added, to deselect all files in pending videos queue.

- In the pending videos queue, now shows codec, bitrate, and output resolution.

- The buttons in main form, are enabled or disabled according to actual situation.

- A new button added in the Edit Page, to enable or disable video preview.

- Dutch language added.

The link to the 2.3 version setup file is here:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gregy74:
I have installed k-lite codec pack. Inside is also that:

http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm

Just put movie and subtittles in same directory, with same name.

Example: shrek.avi, shrek.srt

You can change fonts of subtitltles in directvobsub settings.

This method works with all converters and players (almost all).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
Anything about the greek subs???
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
Have you tried to open the vobs files of this DVD directly. Perhaps it detects subtitles. After that you can merge the converted MP4s of the different vobs.

Nothing to do with this at the moment. MEncoder doesn't support them.

You can only use an external program for this.

Another way will be manually change the problematic characters in the srt file.

Regards.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
i can't change the problematic characters because greek are a lot different from english. can you tell me how i can change the characters in the MEncoder so that it can support them??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
MEncoder uses subtitle fonts from Arial.ttf what it's inside Mp4ForHD folder.

You can try to overwrite this ttf with another with greek support.

Edit: I've found this page with greek true type fonts: http://www.papimi.gr/index-7.htm

Try to choose one of them, rename it as Arial.ttf and copy it to Mp4ForHD folder.

For another languages with problematic characters (as croatian, etc) try something similar.

Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
ok now i got the correct letters (greek) but i can't get them in the right order so that the word can be read. (e.x converter is like ''ocnrt?vre''). is there anything i can do to fix this??

Thnx...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
I think I perhaps have found the solution.

You must to add the charset in MEncoder command (with fribidi-charset ISO-8859-7).

The different charsets are here: https://www.geexbox.org/sympa/arc/devel/2005-07/msg00125.html

Confirm me if it runs:

1. Begin to encode a portion of film with LAVC codec. Then cancel it.

2. Copy the command line (with CTRL-C) from the log box.

3. Copy it to a MSDOS window, and add "-fribidi-charset ISO-8859-7"

This will be similar to: c:\Temp\mencoder.exe "S:\Peliculas\prueba.avi" -of lavf -ofps 25.000 -ovc lavc -lavcopts aglobal=1:vglobal=1:vcodec=mpeg4:vbitrate=320:threads=2:acodec=libfaac:abitrate=96 -vf harddup,crop=320:192 -oac lavc -af volnorm -sub "S:\Peliculas\prueba.srt" -font "S:\JAVIER\MISPROGS\MP4FORHD\arial.ttf" -fribidi-charset ISO-8859-7 -subfont-autoscale 1 -subfont-text-scale 8.5 -o "S:\Peliculas\prueba03.mp4"

4. Execute it.

Regards.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gdem3685:
thnx for your time in checking this out. do i have to do anything at the link?? because i can't figure it out what to do there.

Anw i tried the procedure you said 3 times and in all 3 times just before the end i got an error that MEncoder has stopped working. I have done exactly what you said and i have the same error in all 3 times..

Hi guys,

little question: Whats the best ratio between quality and playability?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
For Htc Touch HD:

My prefered codec is X264 1 pass. Very good quality, and only 30-40 min. to convert a film.

My prefered max resolution is: 720x432 or 640x384.

And the other settings are: Normal Quality, and 96kbps of AudioBitRate.

This way, I get a very good quality and smooth playability with a reasonable conversion time.

For PSP:

Lavc+ codec, and default settings. Only 15-20 min to convert a film.

And always I crop to device.

Regards.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
I've got it.

In the final video I got the same as I saw in Notepad with your greek font. I suppose it's correct, but I don't understand anything of Greek.

The correct param is -subcp ISO-8859-7

If you confirm me, that it isn't wrong, I will send you tomorrow an update of the program for you.

Please send me the Arial.ttf that is in your computer in c:\windows\fonts. I suspect that are the same. In this case I always can use windows font and not mine.

I thought that MEncoder didn't support these kind of languages, but it can. Only I need is correct fonts and codepages.

Regards.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jandre:
New version 2.3b

The new features are:

- Now you can select the charset of the srt subtitles (ISO-8859-1 occidental, ISO-8859-2 Central Europe, and ISO-8859-7 Greek). It has been solved problem with ¿?¡! characters, with greek alphabet, and perhaps with central europe languages.

- You can select size of srt subtitles.
