2. HQConvertver1.2.zip, which has two files in it:
2a HQConvert2Pass.zip, with in it HQConvert2Pass.bat dated 16 december and
2b HQConvertver1.2 with in it 4 files, one being HQConvert2Pass.bat dated 29 december.

Looking at the dates this last one is the one to use.

However, as I mentioned, I want to use multiple drives (source and destination on partition different from programming partition). Some time ago you gave me a Multiple Drive attachment.
Isn't that the one I should use? And if so, has that one been modified with the changes which you found were necessary for the other HQConvert2Pass.bat?

Wouldn't it be easier to combine the two and only have one version of HQConvert2Pass in which everybody has to set his own source and detination drive?

jan

Just use HQConvert2Pass in post 1 Ver 1_2. I removed the other one.
Get rid of and non-HQ batch files- IE- Convert2pass.bat and processmpg.bat. These were the old ones originally included with the Project.zip file.

For multiple drives, configure the SET commands in the HQConvert2Pass.bat file to be the directories that you would like to use.

There ver 1.2 of HQConvert2Pass.bat includes several changes to ensure that 2hour movies would'nt crash in the sound conversion. Also, by incorporating the codec strings in seperate vcf files, it will be much easier to manage any changes.

EDIT- To make it easy I've put the HQ and Low (512x384) versions in the first post and removed the attachment from Post #17.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I'll try it tomorrow.

After all that? Try it on a 5min mpeg for fun and post your results.

[gman4nj]

Well, It's still a no go for me.

Let me give you some background as to what I did and hopefully you'll notice my error

1. Installed vdub to C:\
2. Installed besweet to C
3. Installed Xvid codec
4. Installed AviSynth

5 extracted Project to C:/Project

6. Extracted HQConvertVer1_2.zip to c:\Project


After that, I to a file from my Sage directory and copied to to C:\Project\Source

After running HQProcessMPG, it runs for about a minute or so... Then I see the transcoding being completed with Vdub, shortly after that...Nothing happens and the file is still in the source folder.


Here is a snippit from the bat file log where I think the problem may be occuring.

Any help is appreciated.

Toward the end of the batch file there is a series of Del commands, for deleting the vcf files, avi etc. Place a REM in front. Re-run the batch until it fails.

It is normal that the mpg remain in the source folder.

Then, open c:\project\misc and post the results of your Avs, and vcf files. Also, note whether there is a wav file. What is its size? I want to make sure the compression is running.

Check that your c:\project contains all these files:
HQConvert2Pass.bat
HQProcessMpg.bat
pass1.vcf
pass2.vcf
extractwav.vcf

[gman4nj]

What do you mean by...

Place a REM in front. Re-run the batch until it fails.


Thanks

I tried installing the two-pass 1.2 version on my third computer, an even older Pentium 3, 333 MHz running Windows 2000 Pro.

The process appearred to complete, but no AVI file was created.

I noticed that there wasn't a C:\Project\Msharpen.dll file. I also search my entire C drive, and the Msharpen.dll file wasn't there.

I then opened the Zip files to find out if the Msharpen.dll file is in the zip file. I did not see the Msharpen.dll file in any Zip. Perhaps the lack of the Msharpen.dll file is why the AVI file is never created.

When I installed AviSynth 2.56, I did not select the assocation option to "associate AVC file with Notepad (open)" and "associate AVS files with Media Player 6.4 (play)". The default install is to leave the two checkboxes unchecked, so I assumed the checkboxes should be unchecked.

During the first run, I believe the program VirtualDub requires you to check a checkbox to acknowledge it is beta software and click to continue. Otherwise the script hangs there forever.

I think it would be helpful if you posted, at a high level what each major process is doing, such as running comskip to mark commericals or VideoDub for some purpose, etc.

Please post the Msharpen details. Where the file is located. Is Msharpen important? What does Msharpen do?

I can try running the process again (I don't know if it will work without Msharpen), adding rem statements on those delete statements towards the end of the Convert2Pass.bat file.


Dave

[gman4nj]

just a little more insight as to what I have noticed.

The problem is in the HQ 1.2 files.

When I have the base install of just Project and then process a file, with ProcessMPG, it completes and works fine.

But

When I download and Install the HQ Convert 1.2, the ProcessMpg nor the HQProcessMpg work.

[davephan]

I ran hqprocessmpg.bat again, but with the delete statements at the end of the hqconvert2pass.bat file remarked out. I ran the test against about a 10 minutes mpeg2 file. The process took about ten minutes to run with a 10 minute source file with a Pentium 3, 333 MHz computer running Windows 2000 Pro. Msharpen.dll is listed below, but the file does not exist on the computer. No AVI file is created.

There wasn't a wave file in the c:\project\misc folder or anywhere else under c:\project.

Here are the AVS and VCF files:


c:\project\misc\FOX9Newsat10-1880338-0.avs:

LoadPlugin("c:\PROJECT\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("c:\PROJECT\SimpleResize.dll")

Roxy: sorry to have kept you waiting so "long", but I am rather busy these days and re-setting-up the system takes more than just a few minutes (and please be aware of the time difference with Europe).

The new batchfile works without problems as far as I can see.
The sourcefile is not deleted any more, which is a big plus and I can keep source and destination seperated from the programming directory! Also very good!

I have never used comskip nor equivalent programs and know nothing about it. Sofar I had it remmed out in your program, but now I want to start experimenting with it. Sofar without much succes: it does not cut all the parts I want out.
I can see it is looking for logo's (to cut out?) but sometimes the movie and the commercial both have logo's and sometimes neither of them have!
Is there anything I can adjust?

I tried running the two-pass version on my XP Pro computer, and it still did not work. The script completes, but no AVI file exists at the end of the process.

I tried running the one-pass version on my XP Pro computer, and it worked again. I noticed that the VirtualDub program running for quite awhile. It took about one hour to process a one hour program with a XP+2100 and 1 gig ram running Windows XP Pro. The 3 gig mpeg2 file is compressed to an AVI file about 250 megs. The comskip program removes most of the commericals, but fails to detect some commericals, especially the Comcast cable TV commericals.

I suspect that the VirtualDub program never runs as part of the two-pass process.

I attached a screenshot of the VirtualDub process where it shows the Xvid status occuring during the one-pass process on the Windows XP Pro computer.

If you're using 1-pass also, then probably your file extractwav.vcf is being deleted from c:\project.
Re-download HQVer1.2 and make sure that extractwav.vcf is still in c:\project. You see the way I had it set up initially on 1 pass, was that a clean up occurs at the end of a batch deleting from c:\projct all *.avi, *.wav and *.vcf. Now under the new 2 pass its being cleaned in misc.

PS- I'll have to make a new ver1.3 of HQConvert2pass.bat which auto-generates the extractwav.vcf every time since some people (yourself) are using 1pass also. I'll also have to modify the extension of the pass1.vcf & pass2.vcf to something like pass1.pas & pass2.pas This way the 1 pass version won't autodelete the pass1 & 2 scripts when it cleans up in C:\project.
The 2pass version uses the c:\project\misc directory as clean up 'temp' drive. That makes more sense than using the c:\project as a clean up directory- where all the important exe files are located.



No wav at all is being created? Are you sure you did'nt forget to REM out all Del *.wav commands in the batch- its in 2 places.

If wav isn't being generated, then probably you have a Dolby Dig audio stream. That could be the glitch. It will only work with a stereo audio.

I have a stupid question somewhat related to this thread. If I convert one of my natively recorded mpg files to xvid using this setup, how do I replace it in sage? Is it as simple as deleting the mpg and copying over the avi?

The time stamp of the file has to be identical to that of the original mpg. Neilm had a thread about changing the timestamp. Or you can use Sage 6 builtin avi encode and terminate early ( to make a dummy avi). The dummy will be in the Sage recordings. Then replace your dummy with the real comskipped avi.

Better yet, just place all your avi in your media folder and include the .my file with it. You need the .my plugin though.

The 2pass version uses the c:\project\misc directory as clean up 'temp' drive. That makes more sense than using the c:\project as a clean up directory- where all the important exe files are located.

Instead I fixed up the 1 pass version to use C:\Project\misc as a temp directory
http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/show...102#post190102

(You really should be using the 2 pass version anyway because the quality is so much nicer especially using 1200 bitrate. If you are doing 1 pass, then better to stick with Sage 6's built in encoder.)

I tried running the two pass version yesterday after updating to the version 1.2 files on my Windows XP Pro computer.

There was no AVI created at the end of the process.

The process ran for 19 minutes for a one hour program. The mpeg2 file was about 3.2 gigs. The MP3 file was created and is 88.5 megs.

Did you make sure that c:\project has extractwav.vcf, pass1.vcf and pass2.vcf?

Open up Virtualdub now and look in job control.
Does it read 'error' in the status line?
Something must be happening with the Virtualdub.jobs file that's being generated.

You may open the virtualdub.jobs (located in c:\virtualdub) with notepad and copy paste its cotents to the forum.

Cut and paste the mpeg file and place it into c:\project\misc. Next try to load up the avs file in windows media player. Does the avs play? This is a test of the validity of the avs script being generated.

I then cut and pasted the mpeg2 file and placed it into c:\project\misc.

When I tried to open the file with Windows Media player, the time scroll bar moves from the left to the right for about 15 seconds, but no video displays.

There is a message in Windows Media Player that displays:

Load Plugin: unable to load "c:\project\MSharpen.dll"
(c:\project\misc\TheSuzeOrmanShow-SuzesFavoriteMomentsof2006-1878993-0.avs, line 4)

I hope you will be able to figure out where the problem is occuring.

As an FYI, it would appear that the msharpen.dll is missing from your ZIP file. I had to manually download it and add it to the \Project directory.

I am so sorry about that. The last time I updated the version on 1.2 I forgot to include the Msharpen plugin. The new version 1.3 on first post is the same as ver 1.2 except it includes the msharpen.dll in the zip file. I didn't catch the omission because on my system msharpen was already present.

Davephan,

This is the type of troubleshooting that really helped solve the problem. It is clear from your error that msharpen.dll is not found. Please accept my appology and do not give up setting it up. You won't regret it I'm sure.

If I haven't yet lost all my credibility, please bear with me and try this ver 1.3. All I did was include the Msharpen plugin. Or you can also simply maually download the Msharpen plugin from Msharpen.zip.

Don't forget to remove the REM from the DEL lines. Also, manually delete the temp files vcf, avi, mp3, wav, mpa and avs from C:\Project\misc otherwise the batch file will get confused.

gman4j,

It seems as though the mystery will be solver for you to. Again 1000 sorries for the inconvenience. I am not at home to test but that should be it.
