Super Happy Fun Times with mp4 encode

Postby Radical_Yue » Mon Oct 11, 2010 5:31 pm

Programs being used: Latest verison of the gui 1.33 and Deshi's AMVbe 1.2


Basically, I'm attempting to render out the final encode of my video. Regardless of what settings I use in the gui (meaning settings available, such as choosing constant quality, bit rate, changing the settings, etc...The first few seconds of the video becomes sped up 2x for about 3 1/2 seconds or so, then the normal speed takes over for the rest of the video. The initial super speed causes the audio to become incredibly de-synced. I searched through the forum a bit and found a slightly similar problem, with the exception of the audio was getting ahead of the video, not vice-versa such as in my situation. The advice there was to change AVISource to directshowsource, tried this and the video comes out entirely blank with no audio (won't even play) in mpc but WILL play with VLC, but it has no audio. I've rendered the video out several different times with every setting checked and unchecked, directshowsource and AVISource and even with the audio attached via the video and with a separate mp3. Nothing fixes it.

The frustration caused me to try out Deshi's encoder (years back I remembered Rina bragging about how amazing it is :P) and while the encodes play perfectly and look excellent with perfect filesizes, the audio...to put it bluntly, sounds like ass.

There are no fancy filters on this video, I'm running XP 64bit and I'm kinda at the end of my rope. I've tried it on Kisanzi's computer who is running almost identical to me and his always reached 00:01 to finish and then sits there, never completing. That's with the newest gui of course, it wouldn't even run with the old version.

You want script? Here is script:
AVISource("C:\Video\Pierce The Heavens FINAL.avi")
converttoyv12(interlaced=true)
LanczosResize(848,480)

I may know virtually nothing about scripting and avisynth but I'm pretty damn sure I'm not doing anything to fuck things up =p It's pretty bare bones there lol


Chances are, I'm missing something small because I'm ignorant, but if I could get some help, that would be godly <3 <3 <3

Make sure you have the latest version of haali media splitter, and see if that helps.

What codec are you feeding to zarxgui? Uncompressed, or some other lossless (lagarith has been giving issues here and there to some, I wouldn't want this to be the case for you)? Also, why is the video exported interlaced (or perhaps you have the interlaced=true there from some other time, dunno)? o.O

I don't know why I copied that on here o.O, but I removed it after I first opened the scirpt and saw it attached =p So no interlaced=true, my bad. I've tried both huffy and lag encodes and they both give the same error.

While I'm still in the process of rendering with the updated haali, Kisanzi rendered out a version on his comp using an older version of the gui since the newer one wouldn't do shit for him :P Came out fine. (Took some experimenting to find an older version that would actually run without errors)

Now just have to deal with filesize x_X Can BARELY get it under 100mb with a 2200 bitrate looking like ass...


Edit: lol, render just finished. As always, Alan is godly. The splitter worked =p

If Kisanzi is having trouble with the new version of my gui, it would be helpful to know whats going on with him.

Regarding your issue, some older versions of haali media splitter had a bug in the way they handled mp4 files. Old versions of x264 did not cause the bug to... you know, bug out. When x264 started doing things "correctly", then haali couldn't handle it anymore. Basically.

Why the LATEST version of Haali? Bad idea imo. It might ofc work on this but it could fuck up other things, IIRC the build to go with is from May.

You clearly know what you're doing.

It only fucks up with DSS2 (and not for everybody), so considering you say "DON'T USE DSS2," it doesn't really matter anyway. :P
>lanczos

Well... it's not quite as good as spline36, but it's not inherently wrong.
>interlaced

Read the other posts, it was still there from some other copypaste, but she was using a progressive input and she removed the interlaced=true...

If by "not inherently wrong" you mean "covers your video in ringing", then I guess you're right.

Lazymodo ofc etc.
