thanx I'll try that

EDIT:
That wasn't it

Mencoder chooses to use 720x480

is there anyway you can force mencoder not to do that

Hi koekies,
Can you try just

Code:

vf=scale=720:480::0:9,crop=672:378:24:16,expand=704:480

Just to see if you still get 720x480?
Cheers

Koekies · #24 06-06-2004, 09:02 AM

I'll try

Bicubic resizing gives the same problem as lancos

Which is better quality? and I'm trying the experimental motion estimation method X1 anyone tried that before?

Koekies · #25 06-06-2004, 09:05 AM

I think the motion estimation command vme=5 took away some tiny blocks you could see when there was fast motion

I'm not sure though it could be something else.

In the man_page from mplayer I found this

Code:

−zoom
 
 Allow software scaling, where available. Could be used to force scaling with −vf scale.
NOTE: −vf scale will IGNORE options −x / −y / −xy / −fs / −aspect without −zoom.

Could I use that?

rds_correia · #28 06-06-2004, 09:47 AM

Maybe, but it seems to me that your problem is either on expand or crop where the 1st of them takes precedence.
This doesn't seem a scaling problem but mencoder scale is way different than any AVISynth resizer.
Give it a try, anyway.
Cheers

bigggt · #29 06-06-2004, 10:02 AM

Hi guys man i know this isin't for newbies because i don't understand anything you guys are doing but when i alter the temp.conf file how do i run it without using the gui

Koekies · #30 06-06-2004, 10:15 AM

create a bat file like this

Code:

Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate="your bitrate here":vpass=1 "path to your file you want to encode" -o "path to your encoded file example c:\movie\skvcd.m2v"
Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate=="your bitrate here":vpass=2 "path to your file you want to encode" -o "path to your encoded file"

or isn't this what you wanted to know? :P

-Koekies

Koekies · #31 06-06-2004, 10:17 AM

No luck with the zoom command I don't think it was meant to be used for what I wanted it to bad the -x="x" and -y="y" commands only work in mplayer

bigggt · #32 06-06-2004, 10:19 AM

HI Koekies

Code:

create a bat file like this 

Code: 
Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate="your bitrate here":vpass=1 "path to your file you want to encode" -o "path to your encoded file example c:\movie\skvcd.m2v" 
Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate=="your bitrate here":vpass=2 "path to your file you want to encode" -o "path to your encoded file"

is that for me

The only way i know how to get mencoder to run is through one og the Gui's made here(MEncoderMe or packshot)

I started one like Karl said and then edited the file but now i don't know what to do to start again without the GUi(which will overwrite what i just changed)

if your above answer is what i need to do i just don't understand

thanx for your help

Koekies · #33 06-06-2004, 10:22 AM

First tell me what your conf file is named
Is it in the same dir as mencoder?
Then you create a tekst file copy the stuff in it I just posted
rename it to *.bat and run it

bigggt · #34 06-06-2004, 10:27 AM

Thanx buddy please bare with me because i am not computer smart

my conf file is simply named temp.conf

and yes it is in the same folder as mencoder

I tried to run the bat file(by double clicking it) that was created the same time as my conf file but it starts and just closes

Well according to the manual you can select lancos bicubic etc.

Code:

−sws <software scaler type> (see −vf scale option too)
 
 This option sets the quality (and speed, respectively) of the software scaler, with the −zoom option. For example with x11 or other outputs which lack hardware acceleration. Possible settings are:
NOTE: For −sws 2 and 7, the sharpness can be set with the scaling parameter (p) of −vf scale (0 (soft) − 100 (sharp)), for −sws 9, it specifies the filter length (1 − 10).
 
 0  fast bilinear (default)
 1  bilinear
 2  bicubic (good quality)
 3  experimental
 4  nearest neighbour (bad quality)
 5  area
 6  luma bicubic / chroma bilinear
 7  gauss
 8  sincR
 9  lanczos 
 10  bicubic spline

these are software scalers I think avisynth uses ones that are very simmilar

Koekies · #36 06-06-2004, 10:37 AM

@ bigggt the bat created by mencodeme doesn't just work like that
because of the value %%PASS%% or something it only works with mencodeme.
So copy that line so you have it two times. replace the first %%PASS%% with 1 and the second with 2

encode bat mencodeme makes
Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate=843:vpass=%%PASS%% "C:\movies\Timeline\alliance-timeline-xvid\alliance-timeline-xvid.avi" -o "C:\movies\Timeline\alliance-timeline-xvid\alliance-timeline-xvid.mpv"

what you do to it
Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate=843:vpass=1 "C:\movies\Timeline\alliance-timeline-xvid\alliance-timeline-xvid.avi" -o "C:\movies\Timeline\alliance-timeline-xvid\alliance-timeline-xvid.mpv"
Mencoder.exe -include temp.conf -lavcopts vbitrate=843:vpass=2 "C:\movies\Timeline\alliance-timeline-xvid\alliance-timeline-xvid.avi" -o "C:\movies\Timeline\alliance-timeline-xvid\alliance-timeline-xvid.mpv"

Thanx Koekies

I have to leave for the day but i will try when i get home tonight

I appreciate your help

bigggt · #38 06-06-2004, 05:35 PM

OK i get and did what you said but i still don't get how to run the bat file,i can't just double click it

Koekies · #39 06-06-2004, 05:42 PM

why not?
run it in dos see why it shuts down there must be some mencoder error if it shuts down immediatly

bigggt · #40 06-06-2004, 06:51 PM

Thanx Buddy I final i got it (thanx to you

)

The error i was getting was something to the effect of not finding the directory or something
