Embedded VobSUB + CoreAVC decoding without AviSynth

[oceanm]

BarntryRed:
Actually i'm not an expert for A/V Syncing options, but i think you are having problems like mine as i stated in Known Issues.

With AviSynth playback, many codecs like AC3 and DTS you can't copy audio streams to another, thats why this audio streams must be reencoded, not remuxed.

Reencoding with AviSynth creates more reliable A/V Sync.

You could try to remove -mc option from parameters, removing check/checks from Remuxing Audio Settings in Transcoding Window and Alternative A/V Sync method option, try different combinations.

For your Avisynth/mencoder problems, a clean log would be useful.

Code: Select all

vcodec == h264 || vcodec == H264 || vcodec == X264 || vcodec == x264 || vcodec == avc1 || vcodec == AVC1 || vcodec == VSSH :: -noass -mc 0.005 -vc coreavc -mt

By this parameters mplayer will use coreavc for more files.

Oceanm, This is debug log for avisynth/mencoder for this movie. Thanks

1. You are using mencoder.exe instead of mencoder_mt.exe
2. MEncoder Sherpya-SVN-r30521 should support dsnative.dll already so maybe it is missing?
I am not sure now from what version MEncoder supports dsnative.dll so you can use CoreAVC but definitely CoreAVC wasn't loaded
About audio not synced...hard to say...it depends on many things...but for me in 99% disabling Alternate A/V Sync option plus adding -mc 0.005 fixed my problem and I never re-encoded audio stream(mux only is ticked)

[BantryRed]

ExSport,
Ive MEncoder Sherpya-SVN-r30521, also Ive the dsnative.dll file, but the -mt version, is there a difference with the normall mencoder??

[BantryRed]

Ive just tried newer version, MEncoder Sherpya-SVN-r30725-4.2.5 and the dll file that came with it (version 0.0.0.2), but still got error. Can normall mencoder use coreavc? I think that this is the problem.

This is when using mencoder/avisynth.

[ExSport]

Avisynth loads CoreAVC automatically so it is not necessary to load it via -vc parameter.
-vc coreavc is used when Avisynth engine is not used Check topic name

[BantryRed]

Sorry, so for me the couple of odd movies that wont remux with tsmuxer, I'm better of to use mencoder/avisynth because the av sync is better, P.S. on a side note over the last couple of days Ive set up a psp lite in the play room and synced it with remote play. Handy feature all the movies seem to stream fine to second tv. Thanks for all the help above.

[BantryRed]

Ok,did some further testing, didn't realise that your settings ExSport would make coreavc work with normal mencoder, thought it was -mt only... So your settings seem to be good for me. Thanks Lads

[fedez76]

A guide to make decode with coreavc for mencoder, works for me very nicely:

1- Grab the latest copy mencoder_mt package from http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php
2- Extract archive, rename mencoder.exe to mencoder_mt.exe, copy this file and dsnative.dll to C:\program files\ps3 media server\win32
4- Install coreavc. ($10 to buy)
3- Copy C:\Program Files\CoreCodec\CoreAVC Professional Edition\CoreAVCDecoder.ax to C:\program files\ps3 media server\win32\codecs
4- Open Transcoding Settings tab on the PS3 Media Server
5- Video Files Engines->Mencoder->Expert Settings: ....
6- Write to custom parameters textedit area "vcodec == h264 :: -noass -mc 0.005 -vc coreavc -mt" without quotes.

Should work with non-mt builds.
Have fun!

Edit: Oh, BTW, it really helps to make faster transcodes.
Anyone knows quality performance of coreavc? I've heard it's a little bit lower than the ffmpeg's decoder. Is that true?

Hi to everyone... This thread is very usefull and maybe will fix my problem...

Actually the only way to see .mkv with external .idx .sub for me is enter in transcode and play .mkv with avisynth/mencoder but i have block every few minutes...
Will I fix that if I follow your istruction?
