I've got some VOB files with Linear PCM audio (not DD or MPEG audio) and when I convert using Nero AAC Encoder I get only hiss in the resulting file.

What am I doing wrong?

Try clicking "Play" to see if this file can be played properly.

FATAL: Cannot initialize video driver.

FATAL: Could not initialize video filters (-vf) or video output (-vo).

is there any possibility to cut videos in mediaCoder?
thx for the tool

Dear all,

I'm trying to convert an RMVB file to an AVI file such that my AIRIS DVD-recorder will be able to play it. As a target video format I've chosen MPEG-4 (DivX-4/5) - I'm not sure that this is right but other formats didn't sound familiar at all - and Lame MP3 as the target audio format. Transcoding resulted indeed in an AVI file but when I'm trying to play it with Windows Media Player, I get visualisation rather than the movie itself.

Would you be so kind to explain me what am I doing wrong?

Best regards,
Alexander

Well, in build1696 CT AAC+ works!

And now some suggestions:
1) the mencoder (and ffmpeg's) options for encoding video (like -xvidencopts and -x264encopts) seems editable in the panel at the bottom of mediacoder window, but mediacoder don't take the edits in account when transcoding. It would be possibile to make them REALLY editable, and perhaps saving them as encoding presets? This at least would allow those with some mencoder knowledge (like me) to tweak their settings!
2) what about DVD ripping? I don't talk about .vob transcoding, I mean ripping entire DVD titles. mencoder easily can do it straight from disk: you have only to add some ifo parsing (that mencoder can do, too) to choose the movie and language and pass the parameters to mencoder (like dvd://1 -dvd-device f: -alang en)
3) autocrop. mplayer can do it, with -cropdetect

Optimus, I assume you missed my previoius post?

A note about version 0.3.7 build 1606.

1) Summury is properly spelled Summary.

2) Many of CT AAC+ setting produce errors, although they are supposed to work. For example, converting usual ogg to 96 Kbps aacPlusHigh Stereo or Mono fails.

3) Cosmetics: I think the dragging rectangle will look nicer with a visible bottom line. Maybe it's visible on your computer? Not on mine.



4) I suggest to add "Transfer Tags" to the Options menu right after "Delete original file after transcoding".

2. to transcode a DVD or several track/chapter, click Add Track button

3. I think crop detect only gives your parameters to do cropping. Maybe I will use the result of crop detect to be the default settings for Easy Cropper.

Sorry for that.

For some reason, since verion 0.3.7 I experience severe problems with MediaCoder. It doesn't work with many settings. Even the simple WAV to MP3 doesn't work for me. It just shows a usual "Nothing is transcoded" error message and the log stays empty. FLAC to MP3 is okay the first time I run it. The second time it won't run giving stadard error. So, I need to restart in order to do a second job. It will transcode even a number of FLACs but will fail the second time I press Start.

So, Optimus, perhaps problem with CT AAC+ setting I reported is related to the big problem I'm having with MediaCoder. I tried to reinstall it. The problem won't go away. I am almost unable to transcode.

Hi

Is it possible to convert theora ogg and swf files to WMV with this tool?

Thx in advance

1. When I open a window names “show file details” by F8 key, I cannot close it by pressing Enter or Esc. Also i cannot… how can I say… to switch a focus between those two buttons by arrow keys. So I have to use mouse which is not convenient in all cases. And there is still not clear if it is a IDv1 or IDv2 tag. I know about difficult with that but can you just indicate, what information (IDv1 or IDv2) displays when F8 pressed.

2. As mr. dimzon says, at the “file’s names table” I can see columns with file’s names, types, full path etc. but NOT their bitrate. It may be convenient – to see bitrate at a separate column for all files simultaneously AND to sort files by bitrate by clicking to the header of such a column. So, you can add to the table all your music collection, sort it by bitrate, delete for example all files lower than 128 kbps, and after it – to transcode others which are left in the table.

3. Don’t you intend to integrate any help INTO the program?

4. At the “video filters” – “scalling”, can you add a 320x240 mode? You know, a lot of pocket PC, such as iPAQs use this resolution. And also, can you copy this selection (a selection of output resolution) from the “deep dive settings” as somebody says in this topic, to the front panel (the “video” tab)? Also for viewing movies on a pocket PC while you’re traveling by a noisy plane usually it’s enough to have a sound bitrate about 20-24 kbps in mp3 but your soft has 32 kbps min, well, it’s not so important.

5. I have such a task: I have a short wav-file with high sample frequency and ...
And among this. Sometimes I need to transcode mp3-files to wav-files with high frequency (to make an audio-CD from mp3s). Can you also copy that frequency switch to the front panel from the “deep” settings?

6. I can see the estimated size of the output file DURING the transcoding. I know that it’s just an estimating but can I see it anyway BEFORE the process? In that case I can control if my current settings will make a file greater then the source file was. Otherwise I will know this fact after the process was started already.

7. Actually I usually use the program POCKETDIVXENCODER v0.3.50 (http://divx.ppccool.com/) to transcode movies for viewing at pocket PC. And I advise you to think about including into you soft some options which are very convenient for users:

Also, in that program when I want to crop a frame, program shows me a frame and four sliders. I can move every slider and see in realtime what left/right/upper/downer part of frame will be cropped. It’s convenient. But if it is hard to do in your soft, can you add to the window where mplayer plays a file, two scales – at the right and upper side of a frame? Than I can at least approximately estimate what is the width in picsels of upper and downer black stripes on the frame.

I have an uncompressed AVI that's 275.6 seconds, but only 111.236 seconds get encoded.  

Is there a file size limit on encoding?  (AVI is 5,154,233 KB)

Stanley, about MediaCoder not working, I suddenly discovered I was trying to convert WAV and other formats to Audio+Video. I'm not sure how did XviD become enabled, perhaps automatically after a new update. And I just didn't notice it.

Hi,
First off, I'd like to thank you for making such a great tool. It's exactly what I've been looking for.  I'm having trouble converting RealAudio (RM) files to MP3.  The output always plays something like 4X normal speed... everyone sounds like a chipmunk.  When I output other formats like AAC or OGG, it works OK.  Here are the LAME parameters it's using:

".\codecs\lame.exe" "$(SourceFile)" "$(DestFile)" --priority 1 -q 0 -r -x -s $(SampleRate) -k --vbr-new -V 9

Can I fix it by altering the parameters?

TIA
