ZProcess: 0:00 length / need re-encoding

[zehd]

OK for Hibernate I'm pretty satisfied as I set up my system.

While I wish you inform that ffmpeg works great as retimer!
I've just finished to retime a 4 hours movie (The Gladiator) without a problem.
Anyway I'll keep testing and report what it happens.

So FFmpeg works. Great!

I will look closer at both command lines, using ffmpeg and mencoder and see why mencoder is giving a 0:00... I will also allow for slecting which transcoder to use for Re-encoding...

Further tests reported that files ffmpegged have some problem when played on MVP while no problem if they are shown locally.
Investigating...
Before ffmpeg Gspot reports: MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud } - Sys Bitrate: 7031 kb/s
After ffmpeg Gspot reports: MPEG-1 System Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud } - Sys Bitrate: 440815 kb/s VBR

Can you clear the log, and then do it again, and then post the log to me, please...

Ther's nothing to log as I'm just trying FFmpeg as a separate command in postprocessing.bat.
I've also found that MPEG_Streamclip is doing what I need but it couldn't be called from batch.

The reason why I wanted to see something like a log is this...

Code:

Before ffmpeg Gspot reports: MPEG-2 Program Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud } - Sys Bitrate: 7031 kb/s
After ffmpeg Gspot reports: MPEG-1 System Stream << { 1 vid, 1 aud } - Sys Bitrate: 440815 kb/s VBR

This tells me that you are transcodeing to VCD, and not DVD ----> MPEG2

And that the new FFmpeg doesn't handle the bitrates correctly. You should use 4000k in the command line... between 4000k and 6000k at least...

At least post the commandline in the batch file

I think Gspot isn't very reliable at this point it is wrong about the bitrate off the vcd. 440815 kb/s =~55 MB/s. Can't be right:eek: . I guess something is wrong with the mpeg-header ffmpeg writes to the file.

You are both right Zehd and Htv.
The values I refer to are obtained with the command
“c:\program files\mplayer\mencoder.exe” -of mpeg -ovc copy -oac copy “%~dpn1_faulty.mpg” -o “%~dpn1.mpg”.
Now I'm trying with different settings but the result never change.
One useful tool I also use is MediaCoder in advanced settings that permits to change either the base settings and/or add more options.
Presently mencoder seems doing the work better than FFmpeg.

If you are running ffmpeg in the postprocessing.bat before ZProcess and transcoding with MEncoder, please let me see the command line in the PostProcessing.bat

Actually please send me the ZProcess Logs, and the Post Processing.bat in a zip file...

I'm running ffmpeg from dos command hence, there's nothing to log

Except what command line do you use from DOS?
