Hello!
I hope I'm putting this in the right part of the forum. This is along the same lines of what I've asked before in having to re-encode an MKV file because of it originally being done at the wrong level (it was encoded from from Blu-ray using L5.0 which my OPPO Blu-ray player will not play)
Firstly, I saw what LOOKED like this really helpful program called H264 Level Editor which SUPPOSEDLY would change the file header or something and re-write it as L4.1. But, after burning it to disc, my player pixilated all over the place.
So, re-encode time...
I tried MeGui because it is pretty clearly understandable as to how to set it. I used the presets very carefully and set it for High, 4.1, tune-film, CRF-18, Slow. I set it to keep the same AR and not to crop or resize. I checked as it wrote the script in the box below and everything looked fine. I double-checked the advanced settings so that I could see every one individually and they all looked fine. I think I just tweaked Trellis to 2 instead of 1 and BPyramid to 'Strict' because ultimate I would be playing it on my player (don't know if that was necessary...) Other than that I left the presets in place. But, when I started the encode process, it extracted the A/V streams, and created the ffwhatever file, and then it just quit. I took a snapshot of the log; hopefully I will be able to insert it here.
Honestly, even though I am definitely NOT a pro at this, the settings are pretty self-explanatory. I'm just wondering WHY the heck it quit. The log LOOKS like it was something to do with Avisynth, like it wasn't installed (I had also previously tried STAX and got what LOOKED like a similar error with 'Not being able to read the .avs file) but I re-installed the newest version of Avisynth, just to be sure and it did it again.
I really am puzzled by why this quit on me; any help would be lovely!
Thanks!Attachment 22216
