pmp_muxer gives an error. What framerate does your video have? (you can see it in "change fps" editbox). If it is more then 30 - set it to 25 for example.

XperienZe · Post by **XperienZe** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 6:10 am

uNn99, thanks for helping me out... got it all working now! Though i have some thing i would love to see in the future:
- Be able to set a directory where every movie is created and not need to set it every time!
- Then it looks better if the encoding was done without viewing the cmd.exe window, instead you could use a progressbar in the main program (if this is possible of course)
- An directory where every "temp" files go while encoding. The divx2pass and other!

The last and most important for me at the time is:
- Support for other languages than english in subtitles... becouse I live in Sweden and we use the characters: "å, ä, ö" in our alphabet, hope you understand this and will add this in the near future (please ?)... every one of my subtitle uses this characters...

Thanks man for this beatiful app!

You can change it already... you need to go to the advance TAB...

UPDATED :
Change the Code Page value "cp1251" by "cp1257"
Hope that works...

csuper thanks but mine says "cp1251", not "cp1521" as you say? What should i change it to? Will the characters: "å, ä, ö" now show up?

And if you have time, my principal request for this superb prog would still be "manual cropping with preview". ;)

Hm, but why cant you do it now? Edit "CropX" and "CropY" values and click Preview.

Alcahest · Post by **Alcahest** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 10:17 pm

Hi uNn,
Yes, i can do this of course, but I was more thinking of a realtime croping feature (like Virtualdub "null filter"), as can be seen on this picture.
This would allow to set the correct croping directly.

I don't know how much work it would require though, maybe a lot ^^;;
See you,

Alcahest

uNn99 · Post by **uNn99** » Tue Apr 18, 2006 11:55 pm

New version v0.9.6:
- File Info page
- Codepage Info
- small fixes

Download link in the 1st post. Mencoder is included in archive now =)

Alcahest · Post by **Alcahest** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 1:17 am

Hi uNn, thanks for the new version, it's great to have detailed file infos.
I tried my problematic file and get the "framerate too high" too, even with the enclosed "memcoder". (i'm using the P3 build).
Here's the file in question, maybe you can find out why it's not working if you have a little time.

See you,

Check "Change FPS" and choose 25, for example - and that's it! :)

Alcahest · Post by **Alcahest** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 1:40 am

Oh i think i understand the problem, MediaInfo can't determine the FPS of WMV files, is that it?
Later,

Alcahest

uNn99 · Post by **uNn99** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 1:46 am

Yes, sometimes MediaInfo can't determine the FPS of WMV files, but it's not a problem. I think this file is very strange, because there are so maany errors while mencoder encodes it. But if fps are forced to 25, there is no problem...

Alcahest · Post by **Alcahest** » Wed Apr 19, 2006 2:00 am

I see, thanks for confirming.
I checked; the real FPS of this file in WMP, it's 15FPS and it works fine indeed when AviToPmp is set to 15fps, so all is good now ;)

nice program, works great:)

Best front-end EVER! I love the auto-AR feature!
I was wondering if multithreading will be supported (for us X2 users ;) )?

Also, what language did you write it in?

Alucard77 · Post by **Alucard77** » Sat Apr 22, 2006 9:01 am

Hi There,

I apologize for asking what may seem like some dumb questions, but I am new to this program as I have been using VirtuaDub up to this point and I wanted to test this out. So I just have a couple of questions:

1) When you turn on "use sharp", how much sharper does it make it. I mean in VD I usually use a 3. Is this set at one, I don't quite understand the string. Can I change it to 3, or does this work completely differently then VirtuaDub.

2) I am assuming that when I use target quantizer that I can manully change it to 2.0 or 3.0. At the moment, I see it defaults to 4.0. If I click on the down arrow, it resorts back to bitrate figures even though the quantizer option is still displayed. Is that correct? Does it except manual type ins. Will it except it for BitRates if I chose to type something in over 850 which is your default max.

3) Can someone quickly give a layman explation of VHQ. Is 1 better then 4 or vice versa, what will it really do (ie. less pixelation, clearer picture, etc.)

4) If I rip a vob, will I have to rip out the subtitles from that vob, or will this program recognize the subtitles in the vob?

Thanks for the help, it is very appreicated.

Itaintrite · Post by **Itaintrite** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 12:20 am

If you click on Advanced settings, you can configure the sharpening command to your liking.

Alucard77 · Post by **Alucard77** » Sun Apr 23, 2006 7:14 am

If I wanted to change the sharpness level to 3, is this the code I would use?

unsharp=l3x3:3:c3x3:3

The default is:

unsharp=l3x3:1:c3x3:1.

In addition, anyone notice that if you crop blackbars then resize the image, the image looks crappy. You can definately see blocks around figures and such. I notice that comes out much nicer in VDub. Any idea why that is?

@uNn99

Great work best PMP encoder!!

@everyone

Has anyone use the audio delay function. I have tried it and it doesnt do anything for me.
Example my DVD ifo file tells me that the audio is on a -80ms delay. I type in -80ms and the final results are out of sync. I have tried leaving the input on 0 and the video / audio is out of sync.

Can anyone help?

Mondy · Post by **Mondy** » Tue May 30, 2006 12:53 am

Sorry toker# i cant help with the delay issues as i havent ran into such a problem myself.Secondly im just wondering if anoyone know a quick way to extract sub files from an mkv file for re-encoding into a pmp file.

Currently i am using mkvextractgui to extract the text i want manually and then re-encode the file. I have also tried editing the batch file to get it to extract the text for me and then encode the file which also works.

uNn99
Firstly would it be possible for you to support the .mkv file extension as these video files can be converted without any problems?
Secondly could you possible add an mkvextract option to your application?
If its too much work too add mkvextract to avitopmp dont worrie about it.

For thoses interested in getting the sub files out of mkv files and creating pmp files.
mkvextract can be found below. You will require either the installer or the MKVToolNix download and the runtime download.

The mkvextract Gui can be found below which is useful if your new to mkvextract.

Sorry about the mess in the post i know its not the cleanest post in the world. I also apologise for bringing up this old post again but i thought it would be better to bring it back, then to create a new thread.

uNn99 · Post by **uNn99** » Tue May 30, 2006 6:17 am

New version 0.9.7:
- PMP Muxer 2.01
- New feature to convert video without re-encoding (limit is 720x512)

GREAT job thank you.... !

Your converter is one of the best ! :)

Thanks for the new version - I love this program, it's awesome. The picture quality is superb.

Great job!

psp · Post by **psp** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 3:38 am

please add support for desc fonts
you just need to add this line to the bat file
-font "location_of_file\font.desc"
in order to this to work we also need to remove this line:
-unicode -subcp cp1255
and for same unknown reason to move the path of video file to the end

example:

orginal:
"C:\psp\AVItoPMP_P4\apps\mencoder\mencoder.exe" "C:\divx.avi" -unicode -subcp cp1255 -vf unsharp=l3x3:1:c3x3:1,scale=480:272 -sub "C:\psp\s01e10.hebrew fixed.srt" -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=768:vhq=1:max_bframes=0:chroma_me:chroma_opt -nosound -o "C:\psp\AVItoPMP_P4\AVItoPMP_P4\divx_tmp.avi"

work with desc font:

"C:\psp\AVItoPMP_P4\apps\mencoder\mencoder.exe" -font "c:\psp\AVItoPMP_P4\font.desc" -vf unsharp=l3x3:1:c3x3:1,scale=480:272 -sub "C:\psp\s01e10.hebrew fixed.srt" -ovc xvid -xvidencopts bitrate=768:vhq=1:max_bframes=0:chroma_me:chroma_opt -nosound "C:\divx.avi" -o "C:\psp\AVItoPMP_P4\AVItoPMP_P4\divx_tmp.avi"

this support will be very useful i love avitopmp but the subtitle doest work well with regular font (need hebrew support)
i think desc font will also be useful with other language .

pietrotc · Post by **pietrotc** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 9:48 pm

You are genius!
Your program is magnificent, but I allow myself of give you of the suggestions :

- ability to configure the priority of mencoder.exe
- ability to cionfigure the program used to see the preview

thansk !

PS.: Sorry for my bad english

pietrotc · Post by **pietrotc** » Mon Jun 12, 2006 10:14 pm

Can you add support for PMP AVC Mod ?

Thanks!

DocMAX · Post by **DocMAX** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 11:02 am

which version is the best for intel core duo processors? P3 or P4 ???

Alcahest · Post by **Alcahest** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 11:05 am

P4 is guess, since i suppose core duo supports SSE2.
Later,

Alcahest

DocMAX · Post by **DocMAX** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 2:59 pm

it reports SSE and SSE2 = 0 :-(

TestType · Post by **TestType** » Tue Jun 13, 2006 5:49 pm

Then it is an enhanced version of P3, just like the Pentium M processors (in Centrino laptops). I've got a Dothan processor and have been using the P3 build.

Here's hoping uNn99 brings out an AVC version of his great program soon, keep up the good work :)
