Audio channel mapping for BluRay audio to FLAC using eac3to

January 28, 2020, 4:12 pm

I'm encoding a large collection of remuxes I made from my personal BluRay collection using Handbrake for video and eac3to for converting the TrueHD or DTS/DTS-HD to FLAC.

I was comparing the audio channel mappings from the source and FLAC using mediainfo and the FLAC files seem to display the mapping in a different order than what is displayed from the mediainfo of the source. Example:

Source: C L R Ls Rs LFE
FLAC: L R C LFE Ls Rs

Does this order matter or will things be decoded properly and to the proper channels regardless of what is written here? My limited research seems to suggest it doesn't matter how it is written, but I wanted to check and see if someone knows better.

One other thing I encountered was when I did the same thing with my copy of Rogue One, not only did it change the order as shown in mediainfo, it also changed Lss and Rss to Ls and Rs in the FLAC:

Source Rogue One: C L R LFE Lb Rb Lss Rss
FLAC Rogue One: L R C LFE Lb Rb Ls Rs

I was curious if the channel positioning in the FLAC is no longer going to be 1:1 with the source, spatially. I'm basing it on a diagram seen here: https://mediaarea.net/AudioChannelLayout

Lss and Rss are immediately to the left and right of the viewer, whereas Ls and Rs are slightly behind. Is there a way to correct or redo this so that it is spatially 1:1 or is that just a fault of available methods to convert to FLAC and we have to just take it as it is?

Thank you for your time!

Batch Titles Embedded not working with handbrake

January 29, 2020, 12:32 am

Hello,

Any help would be greatly appreciated with this issue i've been having with handbrake.

Source:
- DVD (with multiple 20-40 titles)
- subtitles are VOBSUB and CC608

Desire:
- export them as mkv (smallest file size without losing any visible quality) with the embedded subtitles

Configuration Steps
- i've loaded the video VIDEO_TS
- all the titles load
- using Fast 1080p30 preset
changes to the preset
- summary > format > MKV File
- Video > Video Encoder > H.265 10-bit
- Subtitles > tracks > Add all tracks
> Foreign Audio Search <x> Forced only
> 0: English Closed Caption (4:3) [VOBSUB]
> 1: English Closed Caption [CC608]

Issue1: Bulk titles, added to queue do not retain all subtitle tracks from the settings changed above.
- If I do one title with the above settings and add it then it works as desired in the summary window of the queue interface
Subtitles: Foreign Audio Search, Forced Only
0: English Closed Caption (4:3) [VOBSUB]
1: English, Closed Caption [CC608]
BUT if i add all the titles (File > Add titles to Queue) then it seems to use the original unmodified preset.
Subtitles: Foreign Audio Search, Forced Only, Burned In
<missing 0:...>
<missing 1:...>

Issue2: Creating a new preset with Configuration steps does not retain the settings
- so once the above is setup then you click Subtitles > Save New Preset
- add:
Preset Name: test1
Category: <default: My Presets>
Dimensions: <default: source maxium>
Audio: <default unchanged>
Subtitles:
Options:
[x] Add Closed captions when available
[x] Add Foreign Audio Search
Burn-in Behavior: None
[x] DVD Subtitles
[x] Blu-ray Subtitles

so once you click "add"
- it removes the 0: English Closed Caption (4:3) [VOBSUB]
- enables the [x] Burn in for foreign Audio Search.

So essentially it's a partial reset of the presets and doesn't save the Subtitle options.

Question:
How do you retain the above presets in "Add titles to queue" without repeating the step-by-step configuration for each title?

thanks
FYI - i've used MakeMKV it has everything (subtitles) but the file size is 3 times bigger.

BLAUPUNKT RTV-965 or PHILIPS VR1000

Hello to all,

I need an advice from you people of this great forum to take a decision about a purchase I am going to do.
I need a good VCR with TBC for passing old VHS to digital format. I have a low budget (max 150 euros). I found two sellers who offer to me the following models:

1) BLAUKPUNKT RTV965 (I know it is a Panasonic HS1000 clone)
Based on the pictures I have of this receiver, it has several signs of the usage on the chassis and some dust on it. I big usage sign on the upper part of the chassis. The sellers told me that he used a normal home use of this VCR. Price including shipping: 115 euros. It seems to be a great deal

I read much about this VCR and the issues I think about are:

a) The problem of the K-Mechanism about the top piece of the motor that about 100% of the receiver suffer and it will require a service in the future.
b) It is a 1995 receiver (I think the date should be this of its release in the market), then maybe a bit too old regarding to the TBC technologies

2) Philips VR1000 (I know it is a JVC 7600 clone)
Based on the pictures I have of this receiver, it is in a very good state, no signs on the chassis and very clean on the appearance. The seller told me, he owned it for about 5 years (2000-2005) and after 2005 he stored it in its original box in a storage room until now. He told me he used it about for 5 years, 2 times a week for playing films and very few use to videorecord. The pirce is 144 euros including shipping

I read much about this VCR and the issues I think about are:

a) Its TBC is not so good as the Panasonic HS1000 model
b) It appears to be not so good quality like Panasonic

Please tell me what you should do if you was on me. Blaukpunkt or Philips?

Thanks your for the advices you will give me.

Which small upgrade should come first?

I’d really appreciate some advice.
I make “talking head” style videos, and I want to make a small upgrade to my gear.
Right now I’m shooting with my smartphone (LG G6) and I use Dedolight 150 spotlights for lighting – these are very high quality (I only have them because my dad used them for work), but not really suitable for these kinds of videos (more for stills and for lighting installations).
In outdoor lighting, the G6 makes great looking vids, but indoors (which is my only setting), it really doesn’t.

So, I have two options for this upgrade:
1. a used Samsung NX3000 camera (and keep current lighting set-up)
2. more suitable lighting – something like the GVM 480LS, for example (and keep shooting with the phone).

Which do you think will make a more substantial difference in the quality of my videos and ease of making them?

Hi VideoHelp community,

Here is my problem and hope someone help me to solve this.

So i have some files like video1.mp4 video1.ass video2.mp4 video2.ass ... , i need to hardsub video1.ass in video1.mp4 and cut video1.mp4 with a start and end time,
and i need to do this for every video and sub, and finally join the created files.
Can i do this with one command in ffmpeg? If not, how to save all created files with same parameters then to use the ffmpeg concat withour reencoding, or how to
merge video files with different video parameters. Thanks anyway.

lossless framerate change with ffmpeg?

i haven't found, after a lot of searching, a simple way to change a 23.976fps mov file to a 24fps mov file using ffmpeg. i'm using linux and sometimes windows, btw. the -vf and -r options have been suggested but require a re-encode. i just want to copy the frames from the mov container (it's prores, btw) to a new container that plays at the new rate. i don't want to interpolate or drop frames, just play the same material faster. this used to be fast and easy with apple's cinema tools but those days are long gone.

the closest idea i've been able to come up with is to try to extract the raw or elementary material from the mov and then put it into a new mov container, defining that new container as 24fps in the process. would that work? what would that command look like?

thanks for any tips,

help with batch adding a secondary audio to a tv show

after taking a look at this: https://superuser.com/questions/1035553/batch-merge-mux-srt-with-mkv-files and this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LCnU4aT-yM i have a working batch script that does work however i would like to tweak it to make it more efficient and convenient, unfortunately my knowledge is limited so am asking for your help.

i would like to know if the following can be done:

* 1) not having to have the mkv file and audio file be name the same if not can it be so that audio files be rename to the mkv file names (if not i can do it manually using bulk renamer or similar)
* 2) prompt to enter the desired audio delay for the entire run (if left bank=leave as default)
* 3) add that secondary audio and set the language and track name to Spanish
* 4) "move /Y "%%~nf_New.mkv" "%%~nf.mkv" that code renames/moves/replaces the modified file back into the original filename however i could it be set so that it moves all those files to a folder call "to delete so i can manually remove after i confirm everything went accordingly?
* 5) can all this be on a interactive script batch or is it better to automate all and change the code whenever needed?

code so far:

HTML Code:
for %%f in (*.mkv) do (
    echo %%~nf
    "\\192.168.1.9\drivepool\MY stuff\windows stuff\tools\mkv tools\[url=https://www.videohelp.com/software/MKVToolNix]mkvtoolnix[/url]\[url=https://www.videohelp.com/software/MKVToolNix]mkvmerge[/url].exe" -o "%%~nf_New.mkv" "%%~nf.mkv" --language 0:spa --track-name 0:Spanish --sync 0:1000 "%%~nf.eac3" --track-order 0:0,0:1,1:0,0:2
        move /Y "%%~nf_New.mkv"  "%%~nf.mkv"

thank you in advance.

854x480 video imported as 844x480 in editor

January 29, 2020, 6:27 pm

The attached video, downloaded from YouTube, has a resolution of 854x480 according to MediaInfo and various other media players / editors — but for some reason, it is imported in the editing software I'm using (Magix Video Deluxe 2016) as 844x480, with an aspect ratio of 1.758333. If I change that aspect ratio in the clip's properties to 16:9, the height is reduced, but the frame remains incomplete. If that MP4 file is remuxed to a new MP4 file with mp4box, ffmpeg or Avidemux, the resulting files are also imported with an erroneous 844x480 resolution. Only a conversion to a lossless AVI file gets imported with the correct 854x480 resolution. Is there any weasonable explanation for such wandom weirdness ?

(Since it's a relatively simple editing task, which involves mostly appending a bunch of short sequences together, with a few fade-in effects, I could do it with Avisynth, but since they're in different resolutions it's more convenient to do it from full-fledged NLE, also one sequence needs to have the audio slightly offset for proper synchronization, I don't know how to do that with Avisynth.)

Digital Betacam Audio out

I have a number of Digital & SD Betacam tapes to transfer, I have both SD & Digital machines but seem to be having issues with the audio out on the digital (Sony DVW-A510P) - The meters show that there is audio on the tapes and the sound from the headphone socket is fine, but I am not getting anything from any of the XLR outputs on the back.

Anyone have any suggestions as to what I may be missing - the XLR leads work fine on the SD machine so I think I can rule them out.

If it comes to it I can capture the audio from the headphone socket but would prefer the XLR out for obvious reasons.

Hope someone can assist

Concatenate video in ffmpeg -> time stamps problem

Hi

I have a complete audio recording of a concert and a video that is missing the first few minutes. I want to create a complete video file, which begins with the audio and a still image, then switches to the video seamlessly. I don't want to re-encode the video footage.

The video is in .mov format, H264-MPEG-4 AVC (part 10) (avc1) with MPEG AAC Audio.

I created the beginning (audio+still image) with the same video specs using Shotcut, then tried to concatenate the two using
Code:
ffmpeg -f concat - safe 0 -i files.txt -c copy Output.MOV
but I got the lots of these error messages:
Code:
84, current: 15880499; changing to 16086485. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file.
[mov @ 0x55b9e0253500] Non-monotonous DTS in output stream 0:0; previous: 16086485, current: 15881139; changing to 16086486. This may result in incorrect timestamps in the output file.
and the output video has the incorrect speed.

Can anybody help me out with this?

EDIT
Nevermind, I just solved the problem by remuxing .mov into .mkv

Suggestions on capturing video sent over ethernet

January 30, 2020, 2:33 pm

I am looking to record video that is being sent to a TV via ethernet.

I occasionally work for a few weeks on ships and several have the TV signal transmitted to the rooms over ethernet; the cable attaches at the LAN port on the back of the TV. I’d like to do a little time-shifting of certain shows that are on when I’m not in my room (that I can watch at my leisure time). I have equipment to capture video over HDMI/component/coaxial so I’m hoping there is a simple way to convert the signal to something like HDMI. BTW, using on-demand streaming is not really an option.

Some of the ships use HDMI or coaxial to transmit the same TV signal and I’m able to record using my current equipment just fine. Considering this, I’m pretty certain DRM is not a concern. Besides, it’s just regular TV programmes and news anyway.

On the last assignment, the TV in the room was a Samsung HG28NE690AF and was identified as a “Hospitality TV.” From Samsung’s website, these TVs are equipped with LYNK REACH that allow for the management of hospitality displays. So, I’m not sure what I am wanting to do is going to be possible but I thought I’d ask here anyway.

Suggestions?
