Is there an easy, reliable way of taking a meguIV 60 fps rip and dropping half the frames to create the 30 fps version?
Edit:I slightly missed the original question. This is how to efficiently make both a 60fps and 30fps from the same ISO
This can be done with a bit of manual tweaking in MeguIV(it):
- Run MeguIV(it) and go to "Options>>Settings"
- In the "Main" tab ensure "Delete Intermediate Files" is
unchecked
- Make a 60fps rip as normal ("Add pre-rendering job" in the One-Click advanced Encoder Config must be
checked - it will be unless you've been tinkering). Don't close MeguIV(it) after the rip finishes
- Rename your 60fps mkv at this point to distinguish it
- Go to the output video folder and in Notepad or similar, edit the file with a name like "hfyu_VTS XX X.avs"
- It will contain a single AviSource line, leave that untouched. Add lines so the result looks like this:
Code:
global MeGUI_darx = 16
global MeGUI_dary = 9
AviSource("Yourpath\hfyu_VTS XX X.avi")
SelectEven()
- The first two lines should be the correct aspect ratio, 16 & 9 or 4 & 3. The last line is the one that will drop half the frames for 30fps
- Save this file (over the original)
- Now in the main MeguIV(it) window we will use the top half of the main "Input" tab
- Drag the "hfyu_VTS XX X.avs" you just edited into the "AviSynth Script" box near the top
- Select a [Vit] 30fps choice from the "Encoder settings" below
- Select "RAWAVC" in the "File format" below
-
Uncheck "Add pre-rendering job"
- Press "Enqueue" (the one in the top half of the window) - the 30fps raw video will be encoded
- We need to mux this into a 30fps mkv manually - go to "Tools>>Muxer>>MKV Muxer"
- Drag the file "hfyu_VTS XX X.264" into the muxer "Video Input" (ensure you choose the correct .264 file, the one that begins "hfyu_")
- Drag the file "VTS XXXX audio.m4a" into the muxer "Audio 1>>Input". The file *might* be a .wav in some cases
- Drag the file "VTS_XXXX Chapter Information - OGG.txt" into the muxer "Chapters File"
- Edit the name for your 30fps mkv in "Muxed Output"
- Press "Queue". The 30fps mkv will be created
- You'll need to clean up the intermediate files yourself. The huge "hfyu_xxx.avi"is the main one you want to delete to recover space.
