When I was writting that it occured to me that setting the central work folder through the STV is a bit confusing/misleading. Either its local and you have to do it on the machine that'll be doing the encoding or its networked which means you need to share the central work folder.
I think i'll just make a new .exe that lets you pick a folder (like the old perl2dvdSetup) that you run only if you want to use it. I mean, you're already at that computer with a keyboard/mouse since you're setting up Dirmon2 so it shouldn't be an inconvience. |

If I want to set it manually, what file would I edit?
|

Create the file "perl2dvd.advanced.pref" next to "perl2dvd.exe" on the machine that will be doing the encoding and add this line...
Code:
Use specified work folder for all processing =C:\Path\To\Dir |

Do you mean perl2dvd2.advanced.pref?

Nope, "perl2dvd.advanced.pref".

Why are you so concerned that the cropping be done after the IVTC? The pullup filter is not impressed by the cropping. In fact, it does a better job (and faster) if you do the cropping before it. Typically, my mencoder filter chain would look something like this: Code:
-ofps 24000/1001 -vf crop=704:464:8:8,pullup,softskip,hqdn3d=3:2:4 -=patilan=- Last edited by Patilan; 11-01-2007 at 10:50 AM. |

I actually think the opposite. Just in my testing on my 42" 1080p HDTV, at the same bitrate the prescaled videos look much better then its unscaled counterpart. Now, I realize I could just raise the bitrate of the unscaled videos FTW, but i'm pretty happy with my size/quality ratio. But hey, that's why scaling is an option and not mandatory

Should I take it that there is a way to burn dvds with this version???????
This would lower the chaos here if this was true :-) |

I have a question about the 'All to DVD' feature.
I have two video files in 'My Videos' that I'd like to be able to put on one DVD - can I do that using this? Say if they were tv recordings rather than video files, could I use this to add more than 1 file to a dvd? Thanks, Alex |

Thanks for letting us know.

A word of warning, the autocrop setting doesn't work in ffmpeg and is incredibly unreliable everywhere else. I don't recommend using it right now

EP, do I need to extract the whole package to the client from which I want to do the scheduling, or are the files in STVs\SageTV3 sufficient ?

Right now clients just need the STV, JAR, and encodingProfiles folder.

Thanks. The docs mention a "encodingProfiles" property for a single server-side location, but I can't find it in the options menu. Also, is the "setupCentralWorkFolder.exe" needed (I can't find it anywhere) ? I created the advanced prefs file (perl2dvd2.advanced.pref) from the UI on my client, and copied it to my server (into the SageTV directory), but the log file shows + Looking for advanced preference file... ! Failed, can't open Advanced Preference File, using defaults and so it started using the temp work folder in the file location instead... Thanks, Dirk |

That's probably the same problem I had. it should be perl2dvd.advanced.pref.

Oh, and that stupid 'perl2dvd2.advanced.pref' is a type in the STV, the 2nd '2' shouldn't be there. Last edited by evilpenguin; 11-09-2007 at 10:33 PM. |

SageMC VideoTools v3.0d
SageMC Video Tools v3.0d:
Note: I've included a modded full version of SageMC to enable some new features. Please start with SageMC_169_ep.xml before you import SageMCVideoTools_v3_0.xml. Change List: * Added creation and deletion of custom profiles * Added setupCentralWorkFolder.exe for people who want to use this feature * Added new video filtes: Reverse Telecine, Denoise, and Vertical Scale * Made qdvd/status folder a server property so it only needs to be entered once. * Added preference for using a single encodingProfile folder for multiple computers. * Added "Wait For Watched" option in auto compressing favorites. * Removed autoCrop as it was too unstable. I'm hoping to bring this back asap. * Removed ffmpeg profile as it didn't work very well before and I won't be supporting it in the future. (Note: You'll need to manually remove ffmpeg.profile from your encodingProfiles folder) * Completely reworked the encoding profiles system to support more reusable code What still isn't included: * Anything having to do with DVD's * Commercial cutting |

Evilpenguin:
Just wanted to thank you for working on this, as it is a great idea and a great project. In the meantime, can you tell us with the new settings you added, what your now using for 'optimal' settings for encoding SD & HD, like you did in your initial post? Also, if I might ask, what are using as a H.264 codec? Thanks again for working on this project. I'm trying to catch up on how handbrake and mencoder work so I could help in the future (I did many a perl project in College, and will be trying to learn more about the Sage STV writing process.) |
