Separate the DVD rip procedure: avoid repeat rips, user can have more than one "dvd" on hard drive to encode at same time, join DVDs into one project.








Sample extraction is broken, and Psonar will have some extra work to do with anri_auto. Rip destination can be changed in ini.bat.

dang man, you're on fire today. anri-chan is moving from economy to luxury without the bloat of commercial software. user-centered design is alive apparently.

[AnubisGI]

edit- In fact, MeGUI already has profiles for the PS3 / X360. lolz.

I can't see any PS3/360 profile to select anywhere.

Edit - Nevermind. Got it working with my own encode. All you need to do is set AVC Level to 4.1

Nate, the word b-frames was mentioned on a few forums(as you were saying about it being high on LQ and stuff). If i remember they said not to use b-frames over 3.

So if b-frames being over 3 was causing the PS3 not being able to play the LQ files, what was stopping HQ?

I'm probably wrong here but it might have something to do with the HQ encodes being over a AVC Level of 4.1?

[nate]

even 3 would be good if we can pull that off ... dunno about ipod though.

[AnubisGI]

Is there anyway we can get Anri to do a AVC Level of 4.1? (maybe like an optional encode or something)

[nate]

is it just --level 4.1? the problem is i think that conflicts with what we're doing for ipod lol ...

[ballofsnow]

MQ can stay the same. Anubis has mentioned that it works on the PS3. Here are the changes I need testing for HQ on PS3/X360. Fortunately I own a PS3 so testing should be easy. (code is not exact from anri-chan)


OLD PASS 1

"%anri_dir%x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate %3 --stats "%2.stats" --bframes 16 --analyse none --qpmin %5 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output NUL %1

OLD PASS 2

"%anri_dir%x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate %3 --stats "%2.stats" --ref 8 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 16 --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --trellis 2 --analyse all --qpmin %5 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --output "%2_video.mp4" %1


NEW PASS 1

"%anri_dir%x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate %3 --stats "%2.stats" --level 4.1 --bframes 16 --analyse none --qpmin %5 --vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output NUL %1

NEW PASS 2

"%anri_dir%x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate %3 --stats "%2.stats" --level 4.1 --ref 8 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 16 --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --trellis 2 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --qpmin %5 --vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output "%2_video.mp4" %1


On second thought, New Pass 1 may need to change... mainly the level and vbv stuff. -done

[AnubisGI]

is it just --level 4.1? the problem is i think that conflicts with what we're doing for ipod lol ...

4.2 according to this seems to work aswell,

http://www.neowin.net/forum/lofiversion/index.php/t571395.html

"Change the level of the video stream to 4.1 or 4.2, using h264info or modifying the file using a hex editing program."

"AVC level 3 (4 works as well, but not 5 or 1.3"

I have no idea what AVC level you need for Ipod but if we can strike an AVC level that works for PS3 and IPOD then problem solved.

New profile works on PS3. LQ, MQ, HQ all played fine. I'll assume it works on the X360.

What about the Wii?

Yeah, it should do. If you need to check more indepth,

As for WII, i can't even find google searches of it streaming video.

snow, can you put together a new anri or something then? (or i can wait until the official anri 3 is released or something)

You can edit the code yourself. The changes are in red in my previous post.

However, there may still be issues with the profile. I made an XQ version of an HD trailer (The Day the Earth Stood Still), resolution 1920x816. My PS3 recognizes it, and plays the audio, but no video. More testing will need to be done.

[ballofsnow]

Ok, the HD clip is working now with these lines:

Code:

"%anri_dir%x264.exe" --pass 1 --bitrate %3 --stats "%2.stats" --level 4.1 --bframes 3 --analyse none --qpmin %5 --vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --no-ssim --output NUL %1

"%anri_dir%x264.exe" --pass 2 --bitrate %3 --stats "%2.stats" --level 4.1 --ref 3 --mixed-refs --no-fast-pskip --bframes 3 --b-rdo --bime --weightb --direct auto --subme 7 --trellis 2 --partitions p8x8,b8x8,i4x4,i8x8 --8x8dct --qpmin %5 --vbv-bufsize 9000 --vbv-maxrate 25000 --me umh --threads auto --thread-input --progress --no-psnr --output "%2_video.mp4" %1 2>&1 | "%anri_dir%tee.exe" x264pass2_stdout.txt

I had to change the number of reference frames from 8 to 3, and b-frames probably needs to be max 3 so I changed that as well.

[ballofsnow]

Nate, got a warning on the ipod profile that there's a vbv max rate but no vbv buffer size. The profile on MeGUI shows bufsize of 512 to accompany 768 max rate. Any problems adding the bufsize to the command line?

[nate]

unknown. i've been looking at the warning wondering if i should do something about it for what seems like years now lol.

[ballofsnow]

What's the stance on D1 MQ? Which x264 profile?
