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)?

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().

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.

VLC is codec-independent--instead of using your computer's video codecs, it uses its own. It probably doesn't have a FRAPS codec built-in.

Any other media player, at least any DirectShow one (almost any player) will play it fine.

I know I have to take all the sound into its own file though:)

• Brand new GUI by The CaPoNe
• Can read audio files directly from the input file--no need to create a separate audio file
• Tons of bugfixes and optimizations
• Control over audio bitrate.
• Support for custom encoding options for the advanced user
• Automatic deleting of all temporary files
• Choice of output file location
• Reorganization of files
• And much much more!

Dark, with this tool, would you gain or lose compression-quality for example if you:

1. Compressed your FRAPS with tool.
2. Did a Vegas Movie, used to make with cool stuff in it, fully uncompressed.
3. Re-Compressed *.avi with tool.

Would it be damn clear as hell or become over-compressed?

Thank you for this great program Dark Shikari,

Sry for this. DS will upgrade the setup exe soon (TM) ;)

DS does this resize the video or just compress at same resolution using the codec at the selected bitrates?

if not, this could possibly be an "advanced option"? using a target resolution for x and y box?

1. 207MB .avi file (1280x720, 15 seconds long) straight from FRAPS becomes 1.5GB when
exporting from Premiere with No compression, settings look like this:

Export
Video only
Entire Sequence

Filetype
Microsoft AVI

Video Settings
Compressor: None
Frame size: 1280h 720v (1.000)
Frame rate: 29,97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Color depth: Millions of colors
Quality: 100 (out of 100)
Fields: Lower Field First

Is that normal? Or can I get the size down since if I was to make a 10min movie the size
would be just rediculous...(I know you warned about uncompressed size but give me a break,
its fifteen seconds ffs?! )

---

Originally by: Lowa

---

2. When saving/exporting in uncompressed, its still takes some time to do that.
I thought (I'm sure I'm wrong) that saving it without actually rendering it would just
dump the file do disk? But perhaps that is just what it does and I need faster CPU/HDD?
In Premiere it looks like its rendering anyway and I think you said that is not needed?

---

Originally by: Lowa

3. The 1.5GB, 15 sec file took about 15 minutes to encode with 'The Tool' using a
P4, 3GHz computer. The disk that has teh org file and output file is a Seagate SATA I, 7,2k rpm.
Should I upgrade for better speeds (you may laugh) or is there another way to get some
more performance out of the old hack?

Thanks mate, I'll give it a go and see what comes out.

I'm having major problems with getting this to encode some short 'test' renderings from premier.

The input files im attempting to compress are raw uncompressed render files from Premier (1152x854 size, around 4 Gb) Trying to encode using the default settings (medium speed/quality) and attampting to have the encoder use the audio track contained in the uncompressed render. The program seems to run fine, and displays no visible errors, but the final output is a 181Kb .MKV file containing nothing but 46 seconds of a grey 'fill'

Any ideas?

(I've been able to encode the files with Xvid via VirtualDub fine, so I'm sure thats not the problem)

Very weird. Make a ~1 second video with Premiere (so its small), do a test encode with Debug Mode on, and then zip up read_file.avs and autogenerated.cmd along with the video, upload it to EVE-files, and post the link here. Then I can check it and see what's up.

Hmm I just renderd a 30-frame section of the same project in premier and it has encoded fine... could it be due to the file sized of the renders in trying to encode?

I'll try re-rendering a longer section under the same options and running that through the encoder, its possible that somthing is off with the two renders I made originally.

Yup source drive is NTFS...

I have a 60 Second 1800 frame clip 50% rendered to test out... I'm sure it has to be somthing simple, like the hours of issues I had trying to understand 2-pass encoding.

EDIT: nope, the 60 second file did exactly the same as the last two longer files.

Here are the debug files and the .mkv

Can you upload the shortest uncompressed file you can get that still has the problem?

Compress it using 7zip on Ultra mode and put it on Mediafire or some other site, as its going to be pretty big.

Also, before you go and upload a file, download the CCCP Insurgent and post the results of a test render on the original file in which the problem occurs (not the MKV, the uncompressed one).

Well the CCCP Insurgent doesn't seem to find anything I can recognize as a H.264 encoder. I've looked up and installed the X264 codec which shows up in VDub (which only encodes to .WMV I think) but not in CCCP Insurgent. I assume since your program is using its own encoder that none of this should really matter...

I'll sort out the render file stuff in a bit...

Now, when I open this file, Media Player pops up with the mysterous grey fill. Looks like AviSynth isn't processing the video properly. So, either Avisynth doesn't like my input file or it has gone wrong somehow (i'll try reinstalling it- done, no difference).

This sounds like a bug in AviSynth or something strnage about how it interacts with your system.

I'd suggest you go to the AviSynth forums over at Doom9; they know a lot more about AviSynth than I do and can probably find the problem.

From what I understand it works like this:

- The GUI compiles a script specifying the processes that need to be run to achive the desired output.

- AviSynth is used to process the video (crop etc.) then to 'feed' the video into the x264 encoder.

- The x264 encoder encodes the video stream into H.264 format with the parameters specified by the GUI.

- The audio from the input file is then stripped off using VirtualDub and encoded in AAC format.

- The encoded Audio and Video are then packaged into the final .MKV file.

What, did Virtualdub crash or something?

WMV files are not the best input for the program but they should still work.

The ideal thing to do is to export your video uncompressed or using a lossless codec like HuffYUV, and encode that.

I have the same problem to, the CMD is telling me that i have some few errors, and that's by converting a movie like CONCORDOKKEN'd. Actually i get those errors on all .avi & .wmv movies i have. If i try to convert a pure fraps footage, then it works with no problems.

If you wonder on what my errors is, then just look at this picture:

This one was the CONCORDOKKEN'd movie i tried to convert, but without any luck.

Do you know what the problem is here Dark?, i have the latest version of the AutoEncoder to.

I seem to be having some problems with this new version, tried encoding an avi i made from a premiere project(just a 2min clip as a snippet) and at the end of encoding the CMD spams with some messages, the only thing i saw was something about an error, cancelling the operation, and deleting the file...

---

I have the same problem to, the CMD is telling me that i have some few errors, and that's by converting a movie like CONCORDOKKEN'd. Actually i get those errors on all .avi & .wmv movies i have. If i try to convert a pure fraps footage, then it works with no problems.

If you wonder on what my errors is, then just look at this picture:

http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/NightmareX/error.jpg

This one was the CONCORDOKKEN'd movie i tried to convert, but without any luck.

Do you know what the problem is here Dark?, i have the latest version of the AutoEncoder to.

---

Well that is very weird, as everything I've tried with the latest version works fine... and given the language I can't tell what the error message means either!

Try opening the AVS file using VirtualDub manually (the one included) and saving the wav file manually, and seeing if it works.

Did you install AviSynth with virtualdub support? I'm not sure if it needs the option checked or not.

I have the latest AviSynth installed. But i couldn't see that i could choose to install AviSynth with VirtualDub support when i was choosing what to install and not to install.

It worked now after i just exported the audio from the movie, and then just selected the audio file in the AutoEncoder GUI before i started to encode the movie

EDIT: It seems that my audio is like 1 sec after the movie when i did convert the movie in that way on some movies, so the audio and the movie is not synced.

EDIT 2: I think i know what the problem is, when i open VirtualDub, and then goes to my fraps folder, i see that i can select my fraps to play in VirtualDub, and it works to encode the fraps videos to. But if i go to my EVE Videos folder, i can almost choose none of the eve movies there, so i'l guess i get those errors because VirtualDub doesn't support those EVE videos i have.

But VirtualDubMod is opening the avisynth file, not the videos; which can read it no matter what.

@nightmare: rename the directory where u have ur autoencoder installed. something like c:\autoencoder .

in ur picture i see u have tons of space in the directory name.

when i got home i will check the batch scripting routine. it for sure not darks fault :) he just give me the scripts and i coded the tool so its my fault maybe ;)

hmmm. try to add a pause before the extracting of the audio.

seems the pc is to fast, so that the directory change fails and virtual dub cant find the temp.avs

if this helps, i will code a small wait command so that the enduser dont need press the button.

make a pic of the tool which settings u choosed.

so i can try to recreate ur error.

DS and TC - if you guys add a batch-convert option to this so we can backup the fraps folder with the same settings I'll send you a male tachikoma so you can breed them and have a whole new bunch of them every other morning ♥

hello,

i run eve under linux (ubuntu) and want to convert my videos for this, someone know what i have to do to convert the video in this "MKV file with H.264 High Profile video and AAC audio" ?

thx joe

Originally by: Mirauder

Not sure if this is a bug or an intended feature. When using the "fraps backup" option and you tell it to include audio from the video file, it encodes the video, goes to encode the audio and throws an error saying "Unable to open WAV file" or somthing to that effect. However, I did mod the batch file to add a pause at the end so I could read the error, then decided to use the "high" option rather than fraps backup, and everything turned out fine using the same input video.

Yeah i added the pause command to, but i got 3x errors after the AutoEncoder couldn't extract / find / convert the audio. And i tried with all modes.

The videos is ok, they are fine, but it's something with the audio that is wrong with me.

Right click/play on the created AviSynth file (or open in a media player). Does audio play from the video?

Yes, i did hear sound by opening the temp.avs file with Windows Media Player 11, Media Player Classic & VirtualDub. VLC media player couldn't start the file.

HuffYUV is how its spelled. Its combination of Huffman Coding (a compression technique used by many compression utilities) and YUV (a common method of video data storage--one luma [brightness] channel and two chroma [color] channels).

If you want to make the output video smaller use Lagarith: I've found it can get up to 50-60% smaller size for EVE videos, though it decodes/encodes a good bit slower than HuffYUV.

Also, if your video is really really high resolution make sure to encode a lower resolution or WMV version for the people with slow computers.

Hello again.

About my problem with the AutoEncoder again.

The program is converting my video as normal, but when it's gonna go to the audio part, the program is saying this in the CMD window:

Cannot open file "temp.avs":
System doesn't find the selected file.

Then i get this message right after that:

ERROR: could not open WAV file.

And that make the program fail to convert the movie with sound. But the movie file without sound is in the Temp folder, so the video is there.

But back to the audio problem here. The AutoEndocer doesn't find the temp.avs file it says, but the temp.avs file is located in the H264 AutoEncoder -> Tools -> VirtualDub folder. So why the program doesn't find the file is not good to say.

Any comments about this Dark Shikari or The CaPoNe?

Ive encoded my entire fraps footage folder into H.264. Unfortunately prem pro doesnt recognise the files. Being somewhat nooby when it comes to this stuff how can i get prem pro to import the files? or can you recommend a program that will allow me to do it for editing?
Currently using prem pro 2

Doesn't seem to work. Does there exist a program that can convert these .mkv files back into something prem pro can recognise? Don't mind a little quality loss but none would be better :D. Again guys i appreciate any help you can offer.

Easy solution:

1. Create avs in the same directory with DirectShowSource("filename.mkv").
2. Open .avs file with VirtualDub.
3. Convert to whatever you want.

ok done that and get this error message:

Avisynth open failure:
Script error: Invalid functions to argument "SetMemoryMax"
(setmemorymax.avsi, line1)

Any ideas?

I've been trying your encoder and after some initial problems (dos window closed immediately and it didn't create a file it now works... APART from the fact that I can't add audio. When I tick that box it does start encoding but at the end of the session it suddenly prints some error messages and closes the dos window (too fast for me to read) and it doesn't create an output file.

Yeah this seems to be a very strange problem that only appears on some peoples' systems, so its been very hard to track down.

Have you tried using a separate audio file rather than the audio from the source? Tell me if that works; if it does, I think I know what the problem is. If it doesn't... well... I'll have to start from square one.

I have tried to put in a separate audio file in one video i made earlier, and it did work good, since i couldn't get the AutoEncoder to work with letting the AutoEncoder convert the audio directly from the movie, so i had to put the audio track into the movie.

---

Originally by: Dark Shikari

Yeah, I'm guessing that the filter setups on some machines either:

a) Don't allow AviSynth to grab the audio at all
b) Don't allow Virtualdub to grab the audio from AviSynth

If b) is the case, its fixable. If a) is the case, its probably not.

In such a situation is there a method to add an audio track to the outputted .mkv file? The auto-encoder can't encode audio one my machine if I use the source audio or a separate audio file. And VirtualDub of course doesn't recognize the .mkv file
