h264enc is a shell script for encoding DVDs or video files to the H.264 video codec using the encoding utility MEncoder from MPlayer
GPL
* Mon Jan 21 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Made the audio codec selection to be menu driven. Also set
the default audio codec to be AAC instead of MP3.
- Made scanning for multiple audio streams in video files
to be optional.
- Added back support for the old ha/va/dr postprocessing
deblock/dering filters.
- Added support for interleaving even lines from even frames
with odd lines from odd frames with the 'tinterlace' filter
in mode 4
- Added support for the frame doubling 'tfields' temporal fields
filter and 'tfields' + 'mcdeint'
- Enabled chrominance filtering for the temporal 'tn' denoiser
- Some small code improvements to the 'sed' parsing.
- Cleanups in the quality presets. Made the 2- and 3-pass
$turbo variable to be global instead of per preset based.
This reduces code duplication.
- Fixed a small bug when using user defined frame rate during
the frame doubling deinterlacing process. Integer input values
were not multiplied by 2. Also added a note that the provided
FPS will be multiplied by 2
* Fri Jan 18 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added support for user defined frame rate when using a
deinterlacer which doubles the output frame rate.
- Bugfix: second pass in a three pass encoding mode cannot
use CRF rate control. Thanks to Justin Poirier for reporting
this bug.
- Fixed typo in the 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' file. Should be
Decoded Picture Buffer and not Display Picture Buffer.
* Mon Jan 14 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Changed default (un)sharp mask/gaussian blur matrix to
luma & chroma 7x7 as it provides a better balance than
the 3x3 matrix.
- Added a tip for the 'denoise3d' and 'hqdn3d' filters that
one can do only Spatial, only Temporal or Spatial and
Temporal filtering with these filters. Spatial-only
filtering is achieved by setting the last two values
to 0, Temporal-only filtering is achieved by setting
the first two values to 0. Spatial and Temporal filtering
is achieved by using all values.
- Added support for adjusting the filter strength of the 'fspp'
postprocessing filter.
- Added support for doubling the frame rate of the content
during the deinterlacing process with the 'yadif' and 'mcdeint'
filters.
- Added support for interlacing progressive 100 fps PAL and
progressive 119.88 fps NTSC content.
- Updated the FPS code. Added support for PAL/SECAM/NTSC Quad
(100 and 119.880 fps) and reordered the menu. Also disabled
frame rate selection when interlacing progressive content or
deinterlacing interlaced content with a deinterlace filter
which doubles the output frame rate. Both actions are mutually
exclusive with setting the output frame rate as the chosen
interlace/deinterlace process will take care of the fps.
- Enabled x264 interlace-aware mode if the user is interlacing
progressive content with the 'tinterlace' and 'phase' filters.
- Placed the interlace filters 'tinterlace' and 'phase' after
the harddup filter so that duplicate frames will never get
interlaced.
- Renamed variables $pullup, $telecine, $cropping, $colorspace,
$ivtc_filter, $int_fps and $int_ofps to $ivtcfilter, $telecinefilter,
$cropfilter, $colorspacefilter, $ivtcfilt, $intfps and $intofps
* Fri Jan 11 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Modifications to the output filename code. As of now, for
DVD encodings, h264enc will scan the DVD for its title
and will set the default output filename according to
the title found on the DVD disc. If the DVD title is not
found, h264enc defaults to the old method.
- Added two iPhone video profile presets (iPVP and iPHQVP)
- Bugfix: don't ask for colorspace conversion if the user
doesn't scale the content. Colorspace conversion only works
with the scale filter.
- Bugfix: revert using local variables in the bits_per_pixel_func()
and bits_per_block_func() functions. Local variables don't
work when a function is called inside another one.
- Some cleanups in the audio_resample_func() function.
- Moved the internal x264 denoise filter into the Denoise
settings.
- Added support for the 'unsharp' (un)sharp mask/gaussian
blur filter
- Removed the 'nr' variable from the 'preset.cfg' skeleton file
as denoising is handled in the Denoise settings
- Added support for selecting the frame dropping mode of
the inverse telecine 'detc' filter.
- Switched to ESA Motion Estimation for the UHQ preset. As
of x264 revision r676 (2007-09-15), the ESA algorithm
is made multi-threaded so there is no reason not to use
it anymore. Also the current changes to ESA in x264
revision r718 give it a 30% boost in speed over the
previous implementation.
- Improvements to the DVD subtitle menu.
- Updated the man page.
* Tue Jan 08 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Disabled b_pyramid for the PSP presets and enabled
8x8dct for the PS3 and XBOX 360 presets
- Added two AppleTV video profile presets (AVP and AHQVP)
- Changed the audio sample rate to 48 kHz for the Zune
video profile presets. Also enabled WMA audio and
lifted MP3 CBR-only restrictions as the Zune supports
CBR/VBR/ABR MP3 audio up to 320 kbps. The same goes for
AAC-LC audio
- Use local variables inside the bits_per_pixel_func() and
bits_per_block_func() functions
- Added support for yadif=2 deinterlacing mode which
skips spatial interlacing checking
- Added support for interlacing of progressive content with
the 'tinterlace' filter combined with 'phase'. Note
that only 50 fps progressive PAL and 59.94 fps
progressive NTSC content is supported! When interlacing
such content, the frame rate will be dropped to 25 fps
for PAL and 29.97 fps for NTSC
- AAC audio: don't exit if the user has provided a bitrate
which is higher than the maximum allowed bitrate by
some portable devices. Instead fall back to 128 kbps
- Colorspace conversion does not work with deinterlacing
and interlacing filters so disable it if the user uses
some of these filters. Also disabled colorspace conversion
for the portable device presets (iPod, PSP, Zune)
- Improvements to the audio codecs code. Switched from
the 'if' conditional to the 'case' conditional. Makes
the code much easier to read/manage
- Changed variables $scaler, $iss, $ss_parameters and
$accurate_vertical to $sws, $isws, $swsparam and $swsaccurate
- Changed the order of the video filters. The softskip
filter should come after filters which need to see
duplicate or skipped frames in order to operate correctly.
This includes any filter that does temporal processing,
like the temporal denoiser, hqdn3d/denoise3d/ow and all
the inverse telecine filters. The softskip filter should
also come before scaling so that the scale filter will be
skipped if a frame is going to be dropped. Deinterlacing
or pullup should be done before cropping. The harddup filter
should be placed before the telecine one so that duplicate
frames will never get telecined, we don't want that. The
interlace filters should be placed after the softskip and
scale filters and before the harddup filter.
- Updated the 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' preset file. Decreased
frameref to 3 to not cause problems for some players.
Also removed unneeded options, increased B-Frames usage
to 10, increased me_range to 24 and added some extra
comments
- Improvements to the DVD chapters exporting code. The user
no longer needs to provide a path/filename to export the
chapters to disk. As of now, the path and filename are
automatically detected and set based on the provided output
file name and path for the encoding
- Improved the chapters loading code for the MP4/MKV containers
- Some modifications to the 'sed' parsing
- Updated the man page
* Sat Jan 05 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added a 'hwcompat_preset.cfg' preset file which is
compatible with stand-alone hardware players. If
you plan to play your encoded content on a stand
alone player, then you can load and use this
preset with h264enc. Look in the 'doc' directory
for it
- Added support for the Motion Compensating Deinterlacer
(mcdeint) combined with Yadif
- Renamed variable $ilaced to $interlaced
- Increased B-Frames usage with 2 in the quality
presets
- Disabled asking for custom matrices if the user uses
the ulq, elq, vlq, lq, mq, nq and the nlq presets. As
these presets are not High profile, they are not allowed
to use custom matrices.
- Added support for setting the audio volume gain
with the 'volume' filter
- Disabled automatic scanning of input video files
to see if they hold up more than one video stream.
Some MPEG-TS files can cause troubles for h264enc
which will enter into an endless loop when scanning
for multiple video streams
- Updated the man page
* Wed Jan 02 2008 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added support for loading a custom preset file.
As of this version, the package includes a
'preset.cfg' skeleton file which you can use as
reference to write your own custom presets and
load them with h264enc. Please read through the
notes of the 'preset.cfg' file which is located
in the doc directory.
- Added support for colorspace conversion during
scaling
- Added support for the older 3D denoise filter
(denoise3d)
- Added support for the Temporal Denoise filter (tn)
- Changed $use_threads variable to $threads
- Changed H.264's in-loop deblock variable from
$deblockparam to $deblock
- Changed the video filters variables $denoise and
$deblock to $denoisefilter and $deblockfilter
- Merged the $srate variable with the $resample
- Small improvements to the fps detection code
- Some cleanups/cosmetic changes
- Updated the AUTHORS file
- Updated the man page
* Sun Dec 23 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added support for the Temporal Chroma Strength
parameter in the hqdn3d denoise filter.
- Added support for the new Overcomplete Wavelet
Denoise filter. This filter is very new and still
not optimized so it is extremely processor intensive!
- Added two XBOX 360 video presets (xvp and xhqvp)
- Removed MP3 support for the Sony PSP presets as
MP3 audio is not officially supported.
- Placed all video filters in a single variable called
$videofilters. Since all filter settings are the same
for all encoding passes, we place them in a single
variable to reduce code duplication in the mencoder_opts()
function. The same goes for the audio filters which
are now carried by the $audiofilters variable. This
also reduces filters maintenance for each pass.
- Optimized the options exporting code. Now if the user
uses presets and wants to export the MEncoder options
to a file, the default output name of the file will
be h264enc-preset-outputname (where 'preset' is the chosen
preset and 'outputname' is the name of the output file).
If no presets are used, then the default output name of
the file will be h264enc-options-outputname.
- Updated the man page.
* Sat Dec 22 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Added support for the spp, uspp, fspp and pp7
postprocessing deblock filters. This removes support
for the old 'pp' postprocessing filters and replaces
them with the new and more efficient ones. It also
fixes the nasty hack in the video_deinterlace_func()
function and removes code duplication for DVD and video
files in that function.
- Removed variables $yadif and $kerndeint as they are
no longer required because of the changes above. All
deinterlacing filters are now carried by the $deintfilter
variable. Deblock/dering filters are carried by the
$deblock variable.
- Added support for deringing/deblocking of DVDs. Although
not really useful for most DVDs, in some rare cases it
can be handy, like for custom made DVDs with a very
low bitrate and blocking artifacts.
- Added support for denoising of input video files.
- Tuning to the NLQ preset
- Video functions reordering.
- Updated the README.h264enc file.
- Updated the man page.
* Fri Dec 21 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@telenet.be>
- Changed contact email address
- Forced MPEG-4 in AAC audio for the iPod profiles
as MPEG-2 is not compatible with the iPod devices
- Placed most of the audio codecs code into functions
for easier integration in possible future video
profiles for portable devices
- Included the Prestige matrix in the package which can
be used on grainy sources
- Added two Sony PSP video profiles (pspvp and psphqvp)
- Added two Sony PS3 video profiles (ps3vp and ps3hqvp)
- Added two MS Zune video profiles (zvp and zhqvp)
- Added warning notification when using more than 4
frame references as it can cause problems on stand-alone
players and/or hardware accelerated video cards. This
is only valid for HD 1080p resolutions (1920x1080)
- Added presets_keyint_func() function for the quality
presets which automatically detects and sets the correct
minimum and maximum keyframe intervals based on the chosen
or detected FPS value
- Updated the man page
- Small cleanups
* Sat Dec 15 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Disabled asking for optimization of the MP4 file
layout if the user has chosen to embed subtitles
in the container. If optimization is ran on a
MP4 file with embedded subtitles, the subtitles
will all be black and unreadable
- Bugfix: moved the MP4 output variable before the
optimization function as it is required by the
function but won't be detected if it comes after
- Added a 'nice' value of 10 when remuxing to the
MKV and the MP4 containers
- Merged the vobsubout and the vobsuboutindex variables
* Fri Dec 14 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Removed support for the old mkvmerge 1.x versions
- Added support for importing ripped VobSub subtitles
into the Matroska and the MP4 container
- Improved the chapters loading code. Now spaces in
file names are supported when importing a chapters file
- Added -sc switch for sanity check. This will check for
the programs which are required for the correct operation
of the script and it will print the status in a list.
It will also display which audio codecs are supported
by MEncoder.
- Some cleanups
- Updated the man page
* Thu Dec 06 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Updated the M4G matrices
- Small tweaks to the HQ, VHQ, EHQ and UHQ presets
- User request: add support for subtitles for input
video files. Useful if user wants to get the subtitles
from a VOB file on disk
* Sat Dec 01 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for importing chapters information from
a file when remuxing into the MP4 container.
- Changed default output name for the chapters file from
'h264chapters' to 'h264chaps'
- Added destination directory checking when exporting
DVD chapters to a file
* Fri Nov 30 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for exporting all chapters information
from a DVD to a file. This requires 'dvdxchap' from
'ogmtools'
- Added support for importing chapters information
into the Matroska container when remuxing
* Thu Nov 15 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Enabled MP2 audio support for the MP4 container
- Removed global_header from the iPod profiles as
it crashes MP4Box
* Mon Nov 12 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- User request: Improved the DVD chapter code. Now each
available chapter is displayed in a menu list together
with its start position. This requires MPlayer 1.0rc2
so please upgrade to use this feature!
- Some cleanups
* Wed Nov 07 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added vbv_maxrate, vbv_bufsize and global_header to the
x264 options for the iPod presets
- user request: when exporting the MEncoder parameters to
a file, if the file already exists, do not overwrite it
but just append the new parameters to it
- Increased the crop scanning from 15 to 30 frames for a
better detection of the crop values
- Typo fix in the help section of the script
* Fri Oct 26 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added iPod High-Quality Video Profile preset (iHQVP)
- Tuning in the iPod Video Profile preset (iVP)
- Updated the man page
* Thu Oct 25 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added iPod Video Profile preset (user request). I cannot guarantee
that this preset will work on all iPods as I do not have one to
test with. Any feedback is welcome
- Modified the audio codec code to only allow AAC audio for the
iPod preset
- Modified the video bitrate calculation for a target file size
to support the iPod preset
- Set the audio resample filter to always use 48 kHz for the iPod
preset
- Audio bitrate and video resolution checks for the iPod preset
(audio may not exceed 160 kbps, resolution may not be higher
than 640x480)
- Cleanups
- Updated the man page
* Fri Oct 05 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for loading of custom quantization matrices
when using quality presets (user request)
* Fri Sep 14 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Bugfix: wrong variable $VIDFP used in the bits_per_pixel_func
function. Should be $VIDFPS or the function will error out
when printing the BPP if user wants to calculate the video
bitrate.
* Fri Aug 31 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Disabled alias expansions in the shell, just in case it
might interfere with aliases in the .bashrc file
- Added support for the FLAC audio codec (user request)
- Changed the way the -o option operates (user request)
- Updated the man page
* Wed Aug 15 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Removed the audio surround filter in AC3 since it's
not really useful and is only used on video files
with matrix encoded audio
- Rewrote the audio_volnorm_func() function because of
the changes made to the audio filter chain
- Added condition to check if any audio filters are used
so we can add the -af option to the MEncoder parameters
- Added audio_channels_func() function for AC3, AAC, PCM
and COPY
- Some small cleanups
- Manual codec config: trellis quantization requires CABAC
so disable it if user doesn't use CABAC
- Some small tweaks to the quality presets; enabled RDO for
B-Frames in the vhq preset
- Faster code to detect FPS values
- FPS: now both fractions (for Progressive NTSC/NTSC) and integer
for (PAL/SECAM) are supported
- Changed Megabyte to Mebibyte in video bitrate calculation
* Wed Aug 08 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added the harddup filter at the end of the filter chain
to further eliminate possible A/V sync problems when
muxing to the MKV and/or MP4 containers
- Disabled the check_video_filters_func() function as it is
made obsolete by the harddup filter since this filter will
always be appended to the filter chain and the -vf option
will always be required even if no other filters are used
- Added support for channel selection when using audio stream copy
- Manual codec config: disabled deadzones if user uses trellis
quantization since they don't work with it
- Added support for encoding from a different DVD angle
- Now video bitrate calculation for a target file size works with
audio stream copy
- Disabled asking for telecine/inverse telecine if content is PAL/SECAM
- Updated the man page
* Sat Aug 04 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Fixed a potential problem in the inverse telecine/pullup code
where A/V could get out of sync due to missing -fps 30000/1001
value
- Enabled audio encoding for first pass in 2- and 3-pass mode.
After extensive testings, without audio encoding for the
first pass, MEncoder can break A/V sync, especially when
doing a inverse telecine/pullup process where frame dropping
and duplicate frames are involved.
- Squashed a bug in the subtitle code which hardcoded the
subtitles into the movie even if user has selected to
dump them to files on disk
- Added support for the DETC inverse telecine filter
- Added warning notification if resolution width and/or
height is not divisible by 16 as compression will suffer
- Moved the call to the check_video_filters_func() function
outside of the scaling section
- Only ask for telecine/inverse telecine filters if user doesn't use
interlaced encoding as it is mutual exclusive with it
- Switched to turbo=2 for 2- and 3-pass modes when using quality presets
as quality loss is almost unmeasurable compared to turbo=1
* Mon Jul 30 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for the Yadif deinterlacing filter
- Added support for Donald Graft's adaptive kernel deinterlacing filter
- Added support for Pulldown Reversal/Inverse Telecine. Please
read the FAQ at http://h264enc.sourceforge.net on how and
when to use these filters! Currently 3 filters are supported,
the pullup, filmdint and ivtc filters
- Added support for Hard Telecine/3:2 Pulldown. Again read the
FAQ on how and when to use it, if at all!
- Reverted back to fractions for FPS values. According to
MPlayer's doc, integer/float should not be used anymore
with MEncoder. This change also updates the bits_per_pixel_func(),
bits_per_block_func() and keyframe variable
- Due to the high versioning, as of this version, h264enc will
continue to use a microversion. When I started writing the script,
I didn't think of going public with it so that's why versioning wasn't
important...
- Updated the man page
* Sat Jul 28 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Enabled turbo mode in first pass for 2- and 3-pass modes in the
mq, nq, hq, vhq, ehq and uhq quality presets. This will speed
up the first pass up to 3x withouth hurting the quality of the
second or third pass.
- Changed QP to CRF for first pass in 2- and 3-pass encodings
as CRF is much more efficient/intelligent than QP
* Fri Jul 27 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Changed shell interpreter from /bin/sh to /bin/bash as there were some
problems reported by Ubuntu/Debian users. Sorry for the inconvenience
* Thu Jul 26 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Merged the -bpp and -bpb options
- Added bitrate calculation to the -bpp option which is based on the
bits per pixel value
- Fixed a bug in the video bitrate calculation for a target file size.
If user has chosen to encode a video file which has more than one video
stream in it, and if the selected video stream for encoding is not the
first one, the calculated bitrate will be wrong as the $vid variable was
missing thus mplayer will get the length of the first video stream instead
of the stream selected by the user
* Wed Jul 25 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Updated the AAC part of the audio resample function. In addition to
48000 and 96000 Hertz, AAC also supports 64000 and 88200 Hertz
- Some parenthesis changes
- Added support for optimizing the MP4 file layout with mp4creator.
This is not a hard dependency! If mp4creator is missing, this option
will be skipped. h264enc still uses MP4Box for MP4 muxing
- Changed the output FPS format to integer and float
- Updated the bits_per_pixel(), bits_per_block() and keyframe to support
the new integer/float FPS format
- Disabled converting the final AVI to MKV if user has chosen to use the
AAC audio codec. I've spoken to Moritz Bunkus, the author of mkvmerge,
and he confirmed that at the moment he hasn't found a way yet to extract
the AAC headers from AVIs so for the time being, it is not possible to
convert AVIs with AAC audio to the Matroska container.
- Added backwards compatibility for mkvmerge versions < 2.0.0 which do not
officially support H.264 video in AVIs unless forced with the
'--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode' option
- Added support for input video files which contain more than one video stream.
Note that cropping won't be auto-detected on any other stream except on the
first one (stream 0) as MPlayer seems to have issues with the -sstep option
and I still haven't got an answer from the developers on how to fix it
- Converted the get_filesize_func() function from integer to float for more
accurate file size reportings
- Changed bitrate mode for first pass of 2-pass and first and second pass of
3-pass encoding to use the QP constant instead of chosen bitrate. This may not
be compatible with older versions of libx264, so please upgrate to a recent
version if 2- or 3-pass errors out
- Updated the AUTHORS file
- Updated the man page
* Fri Jul 20 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Implemented user_interrupt_func() function for when the user
hits CTRL+C or CTRL+ALT+C
- Added support for displaying the DVD disc title
- Some improvements to the config directory code
- Some tweaks to the presets
- Updated the MKV conversion code. This requires at least
version 2.0.2 of mkvmerge if you want to convert AVIs to MKV.
mkvmerge 2.0.2 and up officially supports H.264 video in vfw AVIs
and the option '--engage allow_avc_in_vfw_mode' is removed
- Changed default ABR AAC bitrate from 140 to 110 since AAC is much
more efficient
- Implemented -bpp option for calculating the Bits Per Pixel values
Many thanks to Aymeric for the help on this one
- Implemented -bpb option for calculating the Bits Per Block values
- Updated the man page
* Fri Jul 13 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Fixed a bug in the bits_per_block_func() function. The formula was
wrong which made this function display incorrect bpb values
- Fixed a typo in the man page
* Thu Jul 12 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Fixed a typo in the help section - thanks to Adam for pointing out
- Added bits_per_block_func() function for calculating and displaying
how many bits are used for each 16x16 macroblock
- Updated the MKV and MP4 container conversion code. Now user
can convert the AVI to both formats, not just only one of them
- Complete rewrite of the file splitting code. Removed the 702 MB
requirement before the split option kicks in. The new splitting
code is much more flexible now despite of its large size. Now if
user has chosen to convert the AVI to MKV or to MP4 or to both
formats, he can choose which formats to split
- Updated the destination output checking code. Now this code respects
user permissions and warns the user and exits if creation of the
destination directory has failed
- Added support for dumping subtitles to a file on disk
- Added support for AAC object type complexity profiles
- Updated the AUTHORS file
- Updated the README.h264enc file
* Thu Jul 05 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Web site launched for h264enc at http://h264enc.sourceforge.net
- Fixed a small bug in the Matroska code
- Added bits_per_pixel_func() function for calculating and
displaying the BPP value based on video bitrate, width,
height and FPS
- More tuning to the presets
- Updated the man page
* Wed Jul 04 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added Near Lossless Quality (NLQ) preset. This preset is
supported only in fixed-quant mode!
- Updated the man page
* Mon Jul 02 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Fixed a severe bug in the MP4 muxing code. MP4Box by default
falls back to 25 FPS for video content and doesn't do auto
detection. If the input source has a different FPS value, like
in NTSC or Prograssive Scan, not passing the correct value to
MP4Box will result in severe audio/video desync.
- Moved global headers option inside the manual configuration
* Sun Jul 01 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Fixed a bug in the audio_resample_func() which didn't recognize
the WMA audio codec
- Added support for 96 kHz sampling for AAC audio to the
audio_resample_func() function
- Added support for Multi-channel AAC audio encoding. Note that
this can introduce bitrate variations into the audio stream so
that video bitrate calculation for a target file size won't be
very accurate!
- Added support for both MPEG formats supported by AAC audio
(MPEG2 and MPEG4)
- Merged code of the WMAv1 and WMAv2 audio codecs into one
- Updated the man page
* Thu Jun 28 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Added support for the WMAv1 and WMAv2 audio codecs. Note that
this requires latest version of SVN MPlayer or MPlayer 1.0rc2
as previous MPlayer versions do not support encoding to the
above mentioned audio codecs.
- Updated the man page and README.h264enc file
* Thu May 31 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Implemented '-p help' option for quick help on quality presets usage.
Now user can use 'h264enc -p help' to get a quick help
on presets and how to use them.
- Added one more quality preset (Normal Quality (NQ)) and changed
recommended presets to 'nq' and 'hq' from 'mq' and 'hq'
- Added support for converting AVI's to the MP4 format.
This requires MP4Box from gpac and only works with
MP3/AAC audio or NOSOUND as MP4Box doesn't support
the other audio codecs. User can only convert the final
AVI if conversion to Matroska is not selected! (you can't
do both)
- Added audio_codec_in_video_file_func() function. This function
will only be used for input video file encodings and only
if user wants to copy the audio (no re-encoding). It will scan
the input video file for its audio codec and if it detects MP3
or AAC audio, it will set a flag so that the user can convert the
encode to MP4 afterwards (if he wants to). This will not work though
if the input video file has more than 1 audio channel (like in mkv
files) and the user has selected a audio channel other that the first one.
It will also not work if input video file has no audio in it.
- Modified the file splitting code to support the MP4 format
- Added support for checking disk space left over in the destination output
directory and the h264enc config directory. If < 4 GB then user
will be warned that he's running out of disk space in one of the
directories
- Removed obsolete checking for resolution format since
the $scale variable translates it to the correct
MEncoder format no matter if user uses a : or x for
the resolution
- Decreased default difference threshold deblocking value for
video files to 70 as a too high value can smear details too much
- Removed an extra "layer" of piping in variables. There's
no need to "cat" a file and then pipe the output to "grep"
to get a specific value from that file as "grep" can do
it by itself. No need to do $(cat /path/to/file/file_name | grep "value")
instead use $(grep "value" /path/to/file/file_name)
- Small cosmetic changes
- Updated the man page
* Fri May 25 2007 Grozdan Nikolov <microchip@chello.be>
- Removed duplicate and long standing $turbo variable
in the MEncoder parameters for 2- and 3-pass modes
- Added informant display_quality_preset_func() function
- Improved resolution code. Now if user has chosen to
crop the input source, default resolution value will
fall back to the visible resolution area after cropping,
(eg, the left over area of the resolution after removing
the black bands with the crop filter). If no cropping
selected, default resolution value will be the original
one from the input source
- Small tuning in the quality presets
- Added support for encoder priority settings ("nice" values)
- Fixed a small bug in the cropping function that will fail if
user wants to crop a video file which contains spaces in its
file name
