Edited by: Dark Shikari on 07/06/2007 22:21:06 Dark Shikari's H.264 AutoEncoder
Download Now!
The information below is copied directly from the README. There is other information included, but it is too long to post fully here, so I've just included the basics. If you find bugs or problems, post them and I'll fix them.
Version 1.0, June 7th 2007
What it does:
Converts your EVE Online video to an MKV file with H.264 High Profile video and AAC audio.
Why it does it:
With H.264 and AAC, your videos can be vastly smaller while having similar quality. Smaller filesize means less load on EVE-Files and faster downloads.
How to use it:
1. Install AviSynth. The installer is included.
2. Place your video in the Input folder under the name "video.avi". It is recommended that the video you choose as your source be as high quality as possible; don't encode in a very lossy format and then put it in the folder! The video *must* be in .AVI format.
3. Place your audio in the Input folder under the name "audio.wav". Note that the audio must be seperate from the video--any audio in the video will be ignored. The audio *must* be in .WAV format.
4. There are three different encoding modes: High, Medium, and Low speed.
High Speed: Not recommended. Results in files about 35-45% larger than the other two modes. Use only if you're short on time.
Medium Speed: The most common encoding mode.
Low Speed: About 30-40% slower than Medium Speed with a 2-4% quality improvement over Medium Speed and little impact on file size. There is no downside other than the slower encoding speed.
5. Once you have chosen your encoding mode, choose a quality level. Note that all of the quality levels are sharp enough that you can read the text on the overview and chat (assuming the original video was that sharp).
High Quality: Still considerably smaller than most .WMV EVE videos, yet has almost perfect quality. Its not flawless, but there's little point in anything beyond this, so no higher quality modes are included.
Medium Quality: The most common encoding mode. Slightly blurry and blocky but overall quite good quality. 40% smaller than High Quality.
Low Quality: Somewhat blurry edges and background and noticable blocking, but still definitely viewable. If a Low Quality encode isn't small enough or is too blocky for you, try shrinking your video to a lower resolution. Low quality is about 40% smaller than Medium Quality.
6. Double click the encoding mode of your choice and off you go! The encoding may take a while depending on the speed of your computer. The encoder is multithreaded and can take advantage of up to 4 cores. It will automatically encode the audio and mux it with the video to create your output file, which will be in the Output folder.
7. Upload to EVE-Files and post your video! Post the following along with your video to ensure that your viewers know how to play your video.
You'll need the [url="http://www.cccp-project.net/"]CCCP[/url] (codec pack) or [url="http://www.videolan.org/vlc/"]VLC[/url] (standalone player) in order to play the video. Also note you need a pretty fast computer to play it back without stuttering. If your computer is too slow to play the video at full speed, download [url="http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Codec.htm"]this codec pack[/url] and install *only* the included CoreAVC. If you have the CCCP or FFDshow already installed, disable H.264 decoding in its video codec settings to activate CoreAVC.

I color-coded it because when I posted it all in white my eyes hurt from the wall of text.
Personally I think that if each step is a different color from the next you can more easily tell them apart when reading.

this blew me away when i found it looking to transcode some video to h.264 (with x264). Also uses AVIsynth :)

hmm i got problems with the first encode batch file, havent checked the other batch files atm moment will do it later. here the fixed bat which then worked for me ,remeber it only the first encode bat, i removed alot of "../".
Quote: echo off echo Encoding audio using 2-pass AAC-LC at 128000 bits per second. "neroAacEnc.exe" -2pass -br 128000 -lc -if "Input/audio.wav" -of "Current Encode/audio.m4a" echo Muxing video and audio. "mkvmerge.exe" -o "Output\video.mkv" --language 1:eng --default-track 1:yes -d 1 -A -S "Current Encode\video.mkv" -a 1 -D -S "Current Encode\audio.m4a" --track-order 0:1,1:1 echo ENCODING DONE! Your file can be found in the Output folder, assuming echo no errors occurred. echo When you hit Enter, the temporary files in the Current Encode folder echo will be deleted. pause del "Current Encode\video.mkv" del "Current Encode\audio.m4a"
i played with staxrip, too. only problem with i got the --aq-strengh option even with the newest x264 exe with aq-patch staxrip crashed all the time. :/ but with AE highprofile 1280x1024@1500kbit/s i could reduce my farewell movie 100mb :) without noticeble quali. loss that impressive :)
thx alot Dark Shiraki for ur effort . maybe i will code a small gui for us ;) im a lover of 1 click tools ;) _________________________________________________ Best Regards The CaPoNe Http://happydt.chill.to |

I get some errors;
* Missing cygz.dll * Missing cygwin1.dll * Missing libebml.dll
The first two i could find on the net, the 3rd i could not. I almost think im missing a program/codec or something. While i do have CCCP installed.

Wait, that is very weird, Cygwin DLLs should have nothing to do with this.
It sounds like you guys might have another program which is interfering with the command lines, as x264 is included. I'm going to change the executable file names and see if that works.

Edited by: Dark Shikari on 08/06/2007 10:17:47 Problem solved, wish they were all that simple. Both of you two already had x264 on your system and the batch files were not smart enough to use the built-in x264 instead. Fixed. Check the download now

That would be awesome, I'm not much of a GUI guy in terms of coding, but if someone here is that would make our lives that much easier.
All you'd have to do is make it have 9 options (the ones listed) and have a config file where the settings can be changed for each one.

Awesome, only i didnt use a audio file, so it ended up deleting my encode (i was smarter anyway, copied the output before pressing enter).
The result is amazing.
270mb -> 5,5mb with only a bit loss of color. Excellent work!

That's an idea, I should make a modification so that it works even without an audio file.
I'll make it so that it copies the video to the output folder, then does the muxing, and so if the muxing fails due to a missing audio file, the video file still ends up there anyways.

1.02 out. You can now make videos without using audio. With High Quality mode you can archive FRAPS pretty well since you no longer need audio.

This is very weird, x264 shouldn't require Cygwin DLLs... I guess I could add them.

Awesome thing, just used it for a few test runs, seems very smooth.
I encourage more people to use this.
One request: A lot of my bigger fights are split up in to multiple files since Fraps only captures up to 3.9GB - an option to merge them all together would be great. Then I don't have to dump them all in VirtualDub to merge 'em etc. - or do you know of a good program that does it clean and effectively (without any encoding)? --

Are you using a FAT32 hard disk? FAT32 limits files to 4GB or so. NTFS has no limit.

FAT32 has nothing to do with the disk, its what you formatted it as. Right click/properties on the disk in My Computer and it'll say.
If its FAT32, I suggest you convert it--Windows has a built-in utility.
Adding your feature might be difficult because I'm hackneying this tool using batch files.
There is a trick you can try: open read_file.avs and change:
DirectShowSource("video.avi")
to
video1=DirectShowSource("video1.avi") video2=DirectShowSource("video2.avi") video3=DirectShowSource("video3.avi") video1+video2+video3
That will combine the three videos.

Right click on the AVS file and click "play". Or open it in a video player. If there's an error, it will tell you in the video.
"avis [error]: unsupported input format (DIB )" means that the input isn't YV12. Which means an error occurred before ConvertToYV12().

oO - that's odd. I can open the avis just fine in any of my players, they are raw Fraps footage, but when I try to open the .avs file in a player I get:
DirectShowSource: Could not open as video or audio.
Video returned: "DirectShowSource: couldn't open file video1.avi: An object or name was not found."
Audio returned: "DirectShowSource: couldn't open file video1.avi: An object or name was not found."
(C:\Fraps\AutoEncode\H264 AutoEncoder\read_file.avs, line 1)

The avis are fine though, they play just fine on their own. :o --

Did you put the files in the correct folder? You'll have to do DirectShowSource("input/video1.avi") probably.
