[DVD-o-matic] Intrepid OS X users needed

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, I've made a DMG of DVD-o-matic for Mac OS X which seems to work ok on 10.6 and 10.8. I would be grateful if anyone has the time to give it a quick test on whatever Mac they have around. It's available from here: http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/test-download.php Any reports (good or bad) are welcome to the mailing list or directly to me. Cheers!

[DVD-o-matic] External mono

by Magnus Eriksson

Hi there, new problems (and problem solved) The source file this time was messy. A scanned 16mm documentary from the past. Sound was mono, but in the source file it was panned hard left in Dolby AC3 (2-channel). Right was silent. I pulled the AC3-track, converted it to mono (wav) and put it as external audio into DVD-o-matic on center channel. The other channels were left unchecked. DCP seemed OK, ingested fine on Dolby DSS200/220 (4.6.0 (13)) no problems when selecting it for playback but when hitting play everything crapped out. "No connection with Cat745", "Transport not available" and so on. Wasn´t there something about the allowed number of tracks in a DCP package? Hm. New try. This time I made an extra soundtrack with digital silence from the mono track. Checked every channel in external audio. Sound on center, silence on the other five. The DCP played just fine. Would it be possible for DVD-o-matic to automatically create silent tracks where needed when using external audio? */Magnus Eriksson*

Actually it's a six core, HT CPU, but sure it screams. As far as I can see on my machine and as others quoted, HT helps with dvd-o-matic. Can you share some numbers on encoding speed? I was thinking about AMDs as well because you get more cores for less money, but it seems they can not be used as efficiently as with Intels. Also, the machine may well be used for various other types of video decoding/encoding, editing, AVCHD, h.264 - and from Sandybridge on, the Intels have some extremely fast video acceleration features to aid in these tasks. - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] How long does it take for you to convert a video?

by J-sun Bailey

I'm new to using DVD-O-MATIC, it's a great product, I'm running it on an older system: Windows 7 32bit Intel P8600 2.4 GHz CPU 4 GB RAM It's taking between 2-3 hours to convert a 15-30 minute movie/short, Is this average, I'm looking at upgrading to a quad core i7 processor with 32GB of RAM running Windows 7 64bit. I'm guessing this should speed up my conversion time quite a bit, but curious what others are seeing before I invest the money in this. Thanks in Advance.

[DVD-o-matic] BluRay Conversion too bright

by Carsten Kurz

Today I had to play a commercial BluRay, converted to DCP with MakeMKV and DVD-o-matic (0.89). It turned out much too bright on our Sony SRX-R515. This is a fairly new installation and the calibration is certainly perfect, I never see any issues on commercial DCPs and trailers. Initially I thought this was just a Gamma issue, but I found out that on this machine the Gamma for DCI content is already maxed out at 2.6, I can only set it lower. It was a straight conversion, no intermediate conversion, no filters, I chose REC709 in DVD-o-matic, and on the Sony projector our standard flat DCI preset. It wasn't subtle - about 30% of the movie showed decent contrast, most other brighter scenes were very milky, and in darker scenes shadows were torn into noisy dark green and blue. Detail was very good actually, I chose a no-rescale conversion (flat no stretch). This projector actually has a brightness, contrast and color saturation slider. Usually I never touch these things, because on a properly calibrated machine everything should be okay after the calibration. The DCI flat preset had these sliders in their default positions, which were 100 for contrast, 50 for brightness, 50 for saturation. I could actually fix the problem by reducing brightness to 30 and reducing colour saturation to 45. I played the BluRay in parallel to the HDMI input configured to REC709, switched back and forth and it matched quite well. I did not have more time for perfection, there was still a slight color shift between the two, but it was okay. I guess I will have to send my BluRay calibration disc through the same conversion to find out what is going on there. Any ideas? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] DVD-o-matic version 0.95 released

by Carl Hetherington

Hi all, DVD-o-matic version 0.95 is now available from http://carlh.net/software/dvdomatic/download.php This release fixes various bugs. No big new features to speak of. The Mac version is coming along nicely: just a few fixes to the installer and we shall be ready to go! A late candidate has appeared for DVD-o-matic's name change: I am pondering (drum roll please) "DCP magic" Any opinions?

[DVD-o-matic] conversion speeds?

by Carsten Kurz

Did anyone have the same experience: I was checking the trim feature yesterday with specially made test footage - an MP4 file with frame accurate numbers counting from 1 to 300, white numbers on black background. On my sandybridge notebook, it converted at around 4fps, no special processing (1998*1080 in, 1998*1080 out). With real word footage (but also a large number of black frames at the beginning), I only get around 1fps conversion speed, sometimes even below that. Is the J2k compression speed depending on content complexity or target datarate? I could see in the log that the MXF frame write intervals reflected these different conversion speeds perfectly. Both files on local disc. Will need to do some more testing. I have a large project with a lot of partial/trimmed conversions ahead. Carl - when using encode servers, I guess the main dvd-o-matic server will send uncompressed still images to the remote J2k encode servers? That's why a Gigabit network is beneficial? - Carsten

[DVD-o-matic] [0.89] crash with negative audio gain values

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello again, I just encountered another problem with DVDom; I had a source file where the audio is a little too loud. Thus I entered a negative value in "Audio Gain" on the Audio Tab. Promply, DVDom (both the full gui and the batch encoder) crash as soon as the conversion is started. I could reproduce this behaviour with four different Quicktime sources with the value "-10", so I guess this happens every time I enter "-10", at least with quicktime source files. Did I do something wrong? Should I do something different to tone done the audio during conversion? As before, any help is appreciated. Greetings from Germany Kasi Mir

[DVD-o-matic] Question/problem re: video trimming (0.89)

by Karim 'Kasi Mir' Senoucci

Hello all, I recently tried to cut a bit from the beginning an end of an mp4 source file in DVD-o-matic, which did not seem to work correctly. For my first try, I entered the start and end frame numbers (as seen below the video windows of DVD-o-matic) of the part I wanted to encode and "encode all frames and play the subset" as method. This resulted in the whole file being converted, just as if I didn't enter anything. For my second try, I entered the number of frames I wanted to cut from the beginning and the end of the video and selected "encode only the subset". Now, the *audio* was cut at the right point, but the video played from the beginning again. Additionally, I saved the project and loaded it at a later time. Now, the "Start" and "End" fields were set to "100" each, which bears no resemblance to what I had input into the fields before saving (750 and 251, respectively). How is this trimming supposed to work? What do I have to enter into the fields to get 750 frames cut from the beginning and 251 frames cut from the end? Any help is appeciated. Greetings from Germany Kasi Mir

[DVD-o-matic] Coloured subtitles

by Lilian Lefranc

Hi all, I tried for the first time to convert a bluray stream to a dcp. This file contains coloured subtitles for deaf people. dvd-o-matic does not seem to convert the colours correctly. White and green are ok, but the others are changed. I took Carsten's sample to author a simple bluray structure. Here is the m2ts stream: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1y6i3a27o81x7pc/count300bd24.m2ts Not a priority issue as external subtitle is preferred, but I noticed it testing the subtitle management. Lilian

[DVD-o-matic] audio channel mapping and mixing

by Adam Klotblixt

One way to get simple and configurable audio is to have a matrix-mixer. Example: mix a 2-channel old movie to the correct center mono. Adhere to Academy rules, which is 3-channel mix. output channels input channels left right center left 0.5 right 0.5 center surr left surr right back left back lright LFE silence silence mix Example: an ordinary 2-channel stereo to 5.1 without any mixing. output channels input channels left right center surr left surr right LFE left 1 right 1 center surr left surr right back left back lright LFE mix mix silence silence silence silence It might be good to grey out or not draw the input channels that are not available. With this it can also be possible to do matrix-decoding from 2-channel sources. /Adam Klotblixt

[DVD-o-matic] Encode servers

by Adam Klotblixt

There are 2 different settings for number of threads used on encoding servers, both in the encoding server (-t option) and in the main encoder gui along with the IP-address. I'd hope it would be possible to set it only in one place, preferably on the server side. The main encoder could ask how many threads are set up, and act accordingly. The main encoder would only need to know the IP-addresses of the servers. This would also make it possible to change number of threads used on a server on-the-fly without restarting the main encoder. Is there a limitation on number of servers? If so, how many and why? Couldn't find this in the manual. /Adam Klotblixt

Re: [DVD-o-matic] letterboxed input formats

by Magnus Eriksson

"...but hopefully Magnus won't do a quick phone conversion 4 pixels off some time in the future" Just watch me a late night at the local pub. Teamviewer app on the cellphone, a beer, total access to the theatre network and a little DVD-o-matic session. And some Fernet Branca. I guess 4 pixels off would be the least problem the next day ;-) /M.E.

[DVD-o-matic] letterboxed input formats

by Manuel AC

Like adding some formats that includes the cropping. Actually, I always use "Flat without stretch", I consider the rest Advanced use. Maybe some direct acces to ffmpeg parameters? instead on growing the formats list to infinity. Already got a couple of Scope inside a 1920x1080, and I expect to get many more like that. And for SD material (old short films) I would expect 16:9 inside 4:3 and even scope inside 4:3 (oh yes, got that in a DV file last week) Thanks! Manuel AC

[DVD-o-matic] Frame rate conversion

by Adam Klotblixt

Here are my thoughts on what frame-rate conversion should do in DVD-o-matic * 23.976fps or 24fps -> 25fps Change video timing. Audio resampling with selectable quality. * 25fps -> 24fps Change video timing. Audio resampling with selectable quality. * 50i fps -> Deinterlace with selectable filters: linear blend, motion compensate etc. Then consider 24fps or 25fps destination as above. Optionally, bob or YADIF might be good to produce a proper 48p or 50p film. * 59.94i or 60i fps -> Deinterlace with selectable filters, for example Bob, linear blend Suggest 30fps as destination since a proper inverse telecine requires manual work and should be done in another program. A selectable inverse telecine can save someones day, but be warned... Again, bob or YADIF might be good to produce a proper 60p film. Audio resampling when required, with selectable quality. Never add or drop frames unless inverse telecining. Audio stretching without changing pitch in my ears is a pain to get right, so should be done in a controlled fashion, not automatically. But it won't hurt (much) to have an option, right? A lot (most?) of Swedish DVD-releases from film does a simple 24fps -> 25fps speed-up of video with simple, high-quality resampling of the audio. Not many people notice the pitch-error. /Adam Klotblixt
