MP plugin for Video Transcoding (2 Viewers)

[maysider]

which version of powerDVD?

please, can you tell me what to do to make working "For dvr-ms file convert in mpeg before the transcoding"?
Ive tried to install powerDVD 6 but "check failed...."

thank you

 

[pierremenard]

The check fails everytime for me and the converter works anyway, don't be afraid. Remember to check the dvrms->mpeg flag!

ok, it is ok, but then any transcoded movie is not deinterlaced (with or without interlace support in settings) So I cant use it
transcoding from mpg (transcoded to mpg via inbuilt transcoder) is ok

even it doesnt replace entry in tv database

Ive attached logs....so I hope it will help you

thank you

Hi After analyze of your log file , all feels goods

The file was tranconded DVR-MS --> MPG and after MPG --> AVI, so i am affraid but i don't understand your problem

and the database was updated correctly because i saw i log file you play the file after the transcoding

and the played is the AVI file.


PS: the check prerequisites is video convertor setup not works correctly yet ;-)

Can you explain the problem with more details because i am lost to help you ? thanks


@PS@: Nobody find other poblem or bug (because i cannot believe i code with any bug ...) probably the new year party is going to prepare so happy party for ALL and THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR Feedback!

Hi I just tried to install this plugin and it seems to fail... I get the error below. I also attached the Mediaportal.log...

Have I failed to install everything correctly or?

1) that any picture is not deinterlaced - final avi file is interlaced
2) it doesnt change dvr-ms for avi in TV database (Ive checked it manually)

 

[JayRoe]

Is it possible to keep/hardcode the subtitles from a .ts stream?

Hi All,

I posted new version 1.0.2 (10/01/2008)

Changelog:

• Fix bug to encode My Video record when the TVE3 support is enabled
• Automatic replacement of Compress of MP Build in by the VideoConvertor UI in menu TV recorded
• Improve the option "delete original", in each profile you can specify different cleanup policy (see in Setup UI)
• Fix scheduler for the tv records added automatically when the option "delete orginal" is disabled (avoid to re-encode again the same file)
• Fix statistics output (avg time & max time)
• update the mencoder and ffmpeg parameters automatically generated (improve the encoding quality)
• Binaries upgrade (fix some problem with mencoder)
• Update all default profiles
• Fix binaries synchornization between MP and TVE3
• add crops and threads settings for Mencoder (common settings between FFMPEG and Mencoder)
• Fix some UI issues for XFace Skin
• add support for SpinSafe Revolve and Replicant Skin
• Fix some UI issues for 4:3 Skin
  

download (update VideoConvertor Core and for TVE3 update also videoConvertor TVE3 Client and Server)

I wait your feeback ,

Bye Fab

I like this plugin. but since I use TVE3 it never worked for me. Just displays ERROR all the time. Never encoded one single file. in MENCODER profile you cannot specify Quantizer. Aspect Ratio doesnt work also. (maybe this is a good thing)
Why encode 2pass by bitrate if the transcoded file resists on Hard Disc? Quantizer is much more useful.
crop settings is buggy, cause cropped pixels are depended on rescale.
A converter plugin is really needed for MP (in my eyes) but it should work first.

sorry if im bad today

greetings.

I like this plugin. but since I use TVE3 it never worked for me. Just displays ERROR all the time.
Never encoded one single file.
[Fabrice] I think it is due than the plugin cannot connect crrectly to server TVe3, so put log level DEBUG and give me the log file of MP

in MENCODER profile you cannot specify Quantizer. [Fabrice] Use FFMPEG profile you can specify the quantizer, Mencoder profile is for no expert user and FFMPEG for experts (mencoder is based on FFMPEG libraries )


Aspect Ratio doesnt work also. (maybe this is a good thing) [Fabrice] in Mencoder the parameter autoaspect is passed and ffmpeg i specify it with parameter -aspect XXX

Why encode 2pass by bitrate if the transcoded file resists on Hard Disc? Quantizer is much more useful.
[Fabrice] You have the choice FFMPEG/Quantizer or Mencoder/Multipass, the multi pass it is to improve the encoding quality because i think some user would archive some video.

crop settings is buggy, cause cropped pixels are depended on rescale. [Fabrice] it the reason to give the values in setup UI which depends of you resolution, moreover i tested i works perfectly (like the crop settings of MP)

A converter plugin is really needed for MP (in my eyes) but it should work first. [Fabrice] i don't understand really the sense:sorry:
