HC_Batch 0.15 problems on mpeg2 ENcoder

Well. The HC Gui 0.15b works fine. But, I wrote a HC.bat file to perform:

Code:

HCbatch_015 -i c:\bleach27.avs -o c:\bleach27.m2v -b 800 -maxbitrate 2500 -profile normal -aspectratio 4:3 -scene -nointerlaced -matrix mpeg

HCbatch_015 -i c:\bleach28.avs -o c:\bleach28.m2v -b 800 -maxbitrate 2500 -profile normal -aspectratio 4:3 -scene -nointerlaced -matrix mpeg

And I got this error:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/i.../2005/07/8.png

I have cyberlink power dvd installed. And I installed later:

http://www.free-codecs.com/Dscaler_M...s_download.htm

Dscaler MPeg filters. So it should not be a decoder problem.

thanks

EDIT: -LOL- the souce is an avi file. So MPEG-2 decoder is not necessary right ? :lol:

Did you try an .avs, which reads a .d2v made from DVD source :?:

Hello kwag

Well, there is no DVD source! The source is an avi only.

Hello!

I found the problem. I just modified the .bat to:

Code:

HCbatch_015 -i c:\bleach27.avs -o c:\bleach27.m2v -b 800 -maxbitrate 2500

HCbatch_015 -i c:\bleach28.avs -o c:\bleach28.m2v -b 800 -maxbitrate 2500

And in the HC.ini :

Code:

-------------------------------

HC.ini template

These commands are required

Use full pathnames and just use the bitrate you want

-------------------------------

*infile        c:\....\test.avs

*outfile       d:\....\test.m2v

*bitrate       800

*maxbitrate    2500

-------------------------------

Next commands are optional,

putting a space for it disables a command

Not all commands are shown here,

see the manual for a complete list and default values

-------------------------------

 *logfile       d:\....\test.log

*cpu auto

*matrix        mpeg

*profile       normal

*aspect        4:3

*bias          0

*gop           15 2

*dc_prec       9

I modified *cpu sse3 to *cpu auto
Wich is strange because this works on the GUI and I am sure my processor supports sse3.

Besides, I got a new problem. When the encode gets finished:
http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif

Also, this error occurs when you click on EXIT in the GUI after the encode get finished.

What could this be? Unfortunately I would appreciate batch encoding too much, because I will work 20-40 videos files at once.... And using the GUI, manually adding new projects one by one and wait each one´s encode to finish would be a pain >_<

Hi sparskter,

Unless the AVI source is from a capture then I don't think you will get support for it as this site doesn't support DivX/Xid movie sources, only DVD Source and AVI Captures.

I Quote the rules:

Hello Zyphon!

The source is an anime ( Bleach )! And it is captured from TV! It is still airing !

So it is not an illegal dvd ripped stuff 8)

That error is not related with HC, but with another thing that I don't know what is it. It happends to me with PowerDVD, when it closes.
I did search internet but I couldn't find anything.
Maybe some friend here can help us.

A lot of unexpected error like this are due to Directx. Try to reinstall (or better update) it.

DirectX 9.0c here (windows xp pro sp2). This is the last version. So I think is impossible to "downgrade" it to another version just to test.

Later I will try to re-install it.

PS: I´ve ffdshow installed. Does it influence something like this ?

regards.

I don't think so. but disable any libavcodec in it, just to be sure.

sparskter

07-14-2005 04:26 PM

Errr... My directx 9.0c was already installed, and so, the setup of directx9.0c (I downloaded the offline install - 33,4MB) detects and do not perform a re-install. It either give me option to re-install neither uninstall...

I uninstalled ffdshow and the problem persist. I uninstalled AviSynth 2.5.5 . Installed AviSynth 2.5.6 BETA 4. Rebooted. The problem persist.

You do not need to encode to occur this: by only opening an .avs file and then clicking on EXIT, that "beautiful msg" shows off :cry:

Install and run DrWatson (that should be on your XP CD or on M$ site). It should give you the name of the module that gives problem.

Note: try to limit HC to SSE2 as you seems to have a problem related to SSE3.

:cry:

Neither to me, but the reading memory error with other programs yes.
There is a lot of similar issues related with xp (not before sp1 in my case) if you do a search in internet. I only could find out one answer by MS but related with nt4 nor xp.
If you find out something let's know it.

I can supply you an alternate way.
Download cmdow: http://www.commandline.co.uk/cmdow/

Create a batch file cmdow.bat or killwarning.bat or what you want.

Code:

@echo off

rem I like this color

color 17



:cmdow

timeout 10>nul

for /f "tokens=8*" %%I in ('cmdow') do (

if "%%J" equ "error message window caption" (

cmdow "error message window caption"  /cls & goto :eof

)

)

goto :cmdow

If killing error message window don't close HC Encoder you must to add a line for it:

Code:

@echo off

rem I like this color

color 17



:cmdow

timeout 10>nul

for /f "tokens=8*" %%I in ('cmdow') do (

if "%%J" equ "error message window caption" (

cmdow "HC Encoder caption"  /cls 

cmdow "error message window caption"  /cls & goto :eof

)

)

goto :cmdow

This batch will check every 10 seconds for error message window and when this popups, that will close it and HC Encoder also.

You need to put Timeout.exe in same folder where your batch file be.

Your encoding batch will be:

Code:

start "Waiting for error msg" cmd /c "killerrormsg.bat"

HCbatch_015 -i c:\bleach27.avs -o c:\bleach27.m2v -b 800 -maxbitrate 2500 -profile normal -aspectratio 4:3 -scene -nointerlaced -matrix mpeg 

start "Waiting for error msg" cmd /c "killerrormsg.bat"

HCbatch_015 -i c:\bleach28.avs -o c:\bleach28.m2v -b 800 -maxbitrate 2500 -profile normal -aspectratio 4:3 -scene -nointerlaced -matrix mpeg

I hope this can help you, play with it and let me know if you get success.

I apologize to all. My processor does not support SSE3 . -_-
really sorry.
http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/error.gif

Anyway, the problem persists! -lol-
I am really starting to think this is a really bug.. This is the only program
that crash on closing.

07-14-2005 05:43 PM

Prodater64! :bigooh:

So, a batch file to scan and detect the error window, close it, allowing to the next hc_batch be executed.

I will try it!

sparskter

07-14-2005 06:49 PM

Errr.. how could I say this.. Prodater64. Before I try your batch solution. I run the HCGUI_015.exe and it... worked LoL

But How ? It can be many things... Maybe Avisynth 2.5.6, maybe the simply reboot...

But, the GUI still has that "annoying bug" ¬¬ . Sorry I will call it "bug" starting now . I see no other possibility =/ (until now).

I think it has to do with the line AviSource, because when I change this line in DirectShowSource the error doesn't show (I only tried with the gui and not with the batch, will test that tomorrow)

The only thing I did is open the scriptfile and then close HCgui.

So:

Code:

DirectShowSource("D:\video.avi")

converttoyv12()

BicubicResize(320, 206, 0, 0.6, 0, 8, 640, 464)

AddBorders(16, 17, 16, 17)

But it did not work anyway.

Well, the fact is: the HCbatch_015.exe is working (for now). That is pretty enough to me. Even if that didn´t work(giving that error msg) I still would continue using it for sure! hank315 did a great job (really good). His encoder is fast and produces very good results. And besides all is not hard to configure (as CCE is).

best regards

I´ve just tried HC_GUI 0.14 and it works pretty fine! I load the avisynth script and when I close HC it ends with no problems at all. 8)

did not test HC_BATCH 0.14 yet. But probably it will not show that error.

maybe hank315 will have to take a lok at this :lol:

Old on guys!
Sparkster says he ran CPU-Z on his PC and that it only reports SSE2.
But his CPU is P4.
Aren't all P4 capable of SSE3?
Sparkster, do you know memtest tool?
You can burn a bootable CD with it and let it do a memory test on your PC.
Otherwise, think of reinstalling WinXP because those errors with Headac3he are not usual.

No. All P4 are capable of SSE2. SSE3 arrived only in last generations (with HT I think but not sure).

Yes you were right! I performed a format and a clean install. At the moment I have only: windows xp pro + sp2 + firefox 1.0.6 + XviD + ZoomPlayer + Getright + Adobe Encore DVD

And.. Surprise! *NO* problems detected ! :oops:

That is very good. Because the program is perfect at all. Now we have the proof!

But. I have no Idea of the program that was conflicting as before =/

For the moment you can deal with "memory could not be read" error in this way:

Download HC Encoder error killer.

Batch file, Kill-Error.bat has this code:

Code:

@echo off

rem I like this color

color 17

Title HC Encoder error killer by Prodater64



:cmdow

timeout 10>nul

for /f "tokens=8*" %%I in ('cmdow') do (

if "%%J" equ "HCbatch 0.15 beta - by hank315: HCbatch_015.exe - Application Error" (

cmdow "HCbatch 0.15 beta - by hank315: HCbatch_015.exe - Application Error"* /cls & goto :cmdow

)

)

goto :cmdow

Note that quoted parameter following "cmdow" and "equ" is the error window message caption when HC Encoder want to close.
This batch file is an infinite loop, it is for you to deal with your problem by the moment, so to work with it, just run the bat file.
Once finished your work with HC Encoder, just close cmd window.
You can adapt this to any program that gives you a similar error, or another one, ever that that error dont be a critical one, it is to say, your app should keep running after and despite the error.

Thanks Luis, I have tested the HC error-killer and it works a treat nice work Luis. :D

Note: Just to let you know there is a small error in the batch file one of the hank315 has 316 by mistake and needs to be renamed. ;)
