    7-day rule

    ^ Lol at self. That was a complex post. But it does get complex when you start making big exceptions. A suggestion with a much smaller effect is to modify the 7-day rule so posts at almost the same time are allowed. I just added the part that says posters must check and delete their own...

    7-day rule

    This is like exclusive uploaders v2. A group of people who can ignore the 7-day rule. It's quite sensible, but it's more complex than you think: 1. You are talking from the perspective of a downloader. Would the uploaders want this change? Because it would mean they can't get true exclusivity...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    Because these videos are pure interlace filmed at 60 fields (half-frames) per second (60i). They are not film at 24p with telecine applied. So they need deinterlacing to create full-frame 60p. IVTC would try to recover 24p and make a mess.

    I'm not changing to Win8 for a while, if at all. So I haven't tested. My best guess is the packager may not work given it's complexities, and that is consistent with the error. That would mean a change of packager, or none at all. However, I don't even have the time to rip these days, never mind...

    48÷2(9+3) = ?

    I think many mathematicians would expect 1/2A to mean: 1 -- 2A With the A certainly included in the division. I would assume it meant that, and Wolfram Alpha, the computational engine of the largest math website does too. The implicit multiplication 2A is assumed to be done first. Sure brackets...

    48÷2(9+3) = ?

    I didn't mean the word context in any technical sense. I'll try a simpler illustration: Say A=4 What is 1/2A ? Is it (1/2)A , so 2 Or is it 1/(2A), so 1/8 Most programming languages can't write 2A, they effectively write 1 / 2 x A. Does that change the answer? So what about 1/2(A)...

    48÷2(9+3) = ?

    The answer is ambiguous because no context is given. Every answer is assuming particular mathematical conventions. But different contexts (calculator, programming language, written mathematics) use different conventions and no particular convention is correct. Precedence between division and...

    You mean CRF (constant rate factor) with x264 :P CMoar: CRF effectively means the quality will be constant, which means the bitrate will not be constant and the filesize is unpredictable. The obvious factor affecting the filesize is the running time of the video. Then the complexity of the...

    Completely different story without source match. Placebo QTGMC makes much more sense without source match although it is over-smooth (but your change to TR2 corrects for that - still smoother than source match though). Without source match will also give a more temporally stable image which x264...

    no__One: there is no "post-processing" box. What box are you talking about? Do you mean the "Add pre-rendering job" check box maybe? Switching that off might be worth a try CMoar, but it's a completely different memory situation then, so you may need to tweak threads. CMoar: A single tip -...

    I can't see anything wrong with that mkv. Looks very close to any other rip out of MeguIV now. If I re-encode it I get no problem. Attached image shows the luma range (uppermost of the graphs at the top-right): the entire width of the graph including the brown regions is the 0-255 range. Your...

    That's just messed up. Only way I can see that happening is if Premiere or iMovie are doing something strange with the levels. Post a short MP4 that you created with the ColorYUV(levels="PC->TV") statement, but before you put it in Premiere. I can check that if it's OK at that stage, in which...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    There may be a simple solution. It's better to avoid all colorspace and color primary (matrix) conversions in avisynth where possible, and instead flag the correct values in the encode. I only just noticed you said you could feed the fraps directly through MeGUI, so try this: - Feed your fraps...

    In VirtualDub always check "Video>>Fast Recompress" to avoid an unnecessary colorspace conversion (unless you're using VirtualDub filters, but no reason for that here). That might cause your problems. Try outputting to huffyuv in VirtualDub (install FFmpeg and huffyuv should be available as part...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    Yes, just checked - it doesn't. But you should never need uncompressed video - use a lossless compression codec in VirtualDub. I use Huffyuv all the time - it's fine in MeguIVit.

    I reupped it in my MeguIVit post, although Mediafire is becoming a problem recently so I may need to put it somewhere else again. It's a good idea to try my MeguIVit add-on.

    Ideally a deinterlacer shouldn't change the source, it should just add the extra lines needed to fill in each frame. So from a technical point of view those settings are pretty much the best deinterlacing you can possibly do because you get a shimmer-free result that is extremely close to the...

    Thanks for that tutorial, would you mind if I link to it...? I couldn't make up my mind how to use 10bit. The same CRF gives roughly the same filesize but with increased quality. Couldn't decide if I should increase the CRF to get the same quality at a smaller size or go for a slight quality...

    I've identified the problem. The audio information from MKVs is not being parsed correctly. The only workaround for now: - Select your MKV in One-Click - Change Audio Track 1 (and 2) to "None" - Press "Go" to create a silent rip. - Demux the audio from your original MKV (use MKVCleaver) and mux...

    The Candydoll vid going to 360p is by design - it's auto cropping the black borders. You can switch off auto-crop in the "Advanced Config" tab. However, it's better to leave it checked. What you really need to do is increase the quality when you know something is going to 360p. Lower resolution...

    Glad it's working for you. I can't take all the credit for MeguIVit, it is of course based on the MeGUI software, which I have (extensively) altered and added my QuickTGMC deinterlacer. Apart from me, you're the first person (who has posted here) to have tried it for blu-rays. It does still...

    That's been done in the beta4 update. In any case I don't think the problem is with starting MeguIVit. Strange, I get no such problem. I suspect the packaging system of MeguIV is causing the problems, it has some strange side-effects.

    x264 crashing is strange - that's very robust software. I wonder if your rig is stable.... Also the second and third pass speeds you got were terrible. Normally the FFMS pass is only a few minutes and the third pass faster than the first. Something odd about that. I do dislike the FFMS...

    Well, I hope it works. But I don't know what you're saying there. First of all 720 is not a horizontal resolution, it's a vertical resolution. More importantly, MeguIVit will never change the resolution it outputs because of the drive you use (whether full, external, SSD whatever, it won't...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    Your first attempt was probably working. By default MeguIVit uses a two pass process as that increases the stability of such complex processing (and sometimes improves the speed too). The first pass generates a lossless temporary file that will be around 200Gb for a blu-ray. These are the...

    Yes, I didn't actually change the Megui executable, this was just a sandbox update. Mainly because another user asked where MeguIVit was, and I figured I may as well roll up the changes we worked out and update the plugins. Next version will be a more substantive update... (promise!)

    That script is performing a 3:2 pulldown process, it is a standard way of converting from 24fps to 30fps (or 23.976fps to 29.97fps), to convert from film to video. It's a kind-of artificial interlacing that produces 10 output fields for every 8 input. It's only necessary when you must have 30fps...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    Blu-ray supports a number of frame rates, not just 24fps. Probably the rips you have seen are from 30fps (or 29.97fps) BDs. Blu-ray also supports interlaced and progressive content. 24fps footage is always progressive. Your result looked jerky because MeguIVit defaults to interlaced input -...

    meguIV: The Official Akiba-Online DVD Encoder (v1.0.1.1)

    Problem is in the source. Just using NNEDI3(field=-2) shows up the same issue. This kind of effect is caused when the video is resized while it is still interlaced or something equally bad. This source video looks like it is 360p rather than 480p (that's just a guess from some quick...
