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] Renaming

by Carsten Kurz

BTW - we discussed this shortly before - now that the Indiegogo campaign is over, wouldn't it be time to rename dvd-o-matic to something like 'dcp-o-matic'? Or will you wait until v1.0? ;-) - Carsten

Hmm, yes in that personal mail last week (suggestion to save trim params to project file). But I remember you asked me about sending my metadata file which I did not do so far, shame on me ;-) - Carsten

[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] Missing server

by Adam Klotblixt

I tried installing the 0.89 version of DVD-o-matic on a 64-bit Ubuntu 13.04 but I can't seem to find any encode server. Main program and the batch-converter seems OK. /Adam Klotblixt

[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
