KDVD: Two documentaries on one dvd?
Hi,
I haven't been doing kstuff for a while, been changing my computer and I feel rusted, can you help me ? I have two dvd-documentaries that I'd like to put on one dvd. Some details : - the dvds are 4/3 (720x576) - the first one is interlaced (obvious combing effect), I think the second one is too, but it's less obvious because there's almost no movements. - for the sound, the first dvd is LPCM, 48 khz, 16bits, 2 ch; the second one is LPCM, 48khz, 16bits, 1ch (!). For both of theses dvd, there's no sound on my standalone dvd player (thomson), but it works on my PC. So far, I have ripped the two dvd and made a d2v project + demux the sound with dgmpgdec150. - Do I need to change the wav to ac3 with besweet ? - what are the settings for fitcd ? (anamorphic or not, IUT-br ticked or not ?) - what are the settings for HCEncoder ? - what script may I use ? Thank you. - Do I need to change |
Is everybody at the beach ? :D
Well, it summertime, I can wait. 8) |

Weird I did not see your message yesterday when I came :?

Thanks.
It's not "tv documentary", actually. They were given at differents exhibition. Both of them are burnt dvd, not pressed dvd. Quote:
I have forgotten a little all theses settings. In HC 0.23, there are 3 settings menu (settings 1, settings 2, settings 3), I don't even remember if "constant quantization" was checked or not, for instance. Thanks for the interlacing guide. :) May I use this script of yours with the interlacing filters ? Code:
DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("Path/Filename.d2v",cpu=4,idct=7) |

Code:
DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("Path/Filename.d2v",cpu=4,idct=7) Actually you can even use the script like that, just remove the # in front of TDeint. That line de-interlace the source pretty well, even if it introduce some slight blending. Note: in HCMatic don't check "interlaced' as the source is progressive after "TDeint". |
Thanks,
I've been doing some quick tests. At the end, HCMATIC said something like "can't determine accurately", is it normal ? The two sample.ini have set the cq-maxbitrate to 5. Can I set the GOP to 15 instead of 12 ? |

Concerning your error, I'm very surprised that you can have something about 5 ! I never encode above 4 as the result is too bad over that value. Better to stay arround 3. Yous hould rework you script ! Nevertheless the error you have means that the ideal Q value is above the Qmax (or under the Qmin) that you set in HCMatic. The only way to solve that is to raise the QMax (or lower QMin). But as said above, 5 is already too bad ! |

I thought it was 15 for Pal and 18 for NTSC. Quote:
I guess the 4/3 takes much place... I will retry your script with mergeluma and mergechroma, see you. |
Test with gop at 15; mergechroma/luma added in the script; q range between 2 and 7 :
average quantizer : 5.51 :cry: I've noticed the minimum bitrate was between 600 and 1600, that's pretty high, no ? |
I think you are right for GOP length.
Yes 600 is very hight. I don't know what are these doc, but they're surely not a chess game filmed in real time :). Try this script : Code:
DGDecode_Mpeg2Source("Path/Filename.d2v",cpu=4,idct=7) |
Hello,
I've tried your script. The clip plays but it says "there is no function named fmin". I've been looking on this forum and elsewhere (doom9... ) and find no answer. I've added the plugin unfilter.dll, but the error is still there. |

Look, I may encode only one dvd. For the other, I may use the m2v demuxed by dgmpgedc and the mp2 created in besweet, it will make 1700 + 72 mo=1772 mo, maybe a little more when it's authorized, let's say 2000 mo top. It gives me about 2500 mo, right ? I've just tried hcmatic with only one dvd, and the normal script (with no scriptclip) : source 4.12 go, target 2.5 go, it gives me a q of 4.90. It's not glorious, but it's the best q I've got so far. If I'm able to make the scriptclip function working and put the dc prec on 9 or 10, I may gain a few q points. And it's just documentaries after all, as long as it's watcheable, I don't need a perfect picture. 8) Anyway, thanks for your help. :) |

(note: avisynth 2.58 has now a built-in min/max). Add these lines at the end of the script : Quote:

Cool, no error.
I'm doing a test right now. I will think about the mono sound, too (which would be logical since one of the dvd is 1 ch). Thanks. :) |
Q=4.27
It's better, isn't it ? :D I'll do it like that. Thanks again. :) |
You're welcome :).

How about a pulldowned NTSC material? How far can I go with gop? also DC should always be set on 8 for low bitrates? thanks |
Standard for NTSC is 15.
For a reason I can't explain HCenc seems to always produce smaller files with DC=9, not 8 or 10. |
thanks, so i guess i can go as far as my standalone supports with gop, last thing, should i use open gop or closed for better compression?
saluts |
Use closed GOP, it has several benefits and no real drawback (the impact on compression is not very big).
