[HELP] A few questions/problem

[tomek398]

Thank you very much for a quick and detailed reply

For completeness, aside from 'Config->Output->Container Settings->Mp4 Settings->FFmpeg instead of MP4Box' typical options that you could also try are:

Thanks for that advice!

Might be helpful if you could create a debug output level 9 of the loading of the source when it causes Hybrid to crash

I should have been more precise. Hybrid crashes when I start the program, not when I open video file in it. I simply click on Hybrid icon on windows desktop and then Hybrid is starting to import its components and at some point it crashes. Then I start it again and most of the time it is OK. Sometimes it crashes twice in row. 

You can see the what PAR Hybrid detects and assuming it detects the right input par you can tell it to resize to 1:1 PAR.

When I work with single files, both standard and anamorphic, Hybrid detects PAR correctly and resize to 1:1 PAR without any problem. It works very well. 
The problem occurs only when I  import multiple files (batch conversion) and they are mixed. Some of them are standard and some anamorphic. 

Just an example
I import 2 DV video files at the same time (batch conversion):
1. Input resolution: 720:576 Input PAR: 1,067  Expected output resolution: 768x576  
2. Input resolution: 720:576 Input PAR: 1,422  Expected output resolution: 1024x576  

After conversion resolution of the file 1 is 1024x576  and resolution of file 2 is 768x576. Opposite to what was expected. To me it looks like, that for a current video file Hybrid is using input PAR from the previous video, which conversion has just finished. 

Again, when I convert exactly these 2 files separately, the output resolution of each of them is OK.  I tried to change Crop/Resize->Misc->Keep resize for new source but it didn't help

Beside, I found the only case when Hybrid crashes when using it. It always crashes when I try to tick Crop/Resize->Misc->Only auto adjust resize if....-> Width is or Height.

Got an idea, but no real clue since you didn't share much information.
My guess is that it might be that the wrong title is selected or some copy protection of the source is interfering.

I think that this is not related to copy protection as I created that DVD myself a few years ago. I don't select any title. I just select VIDEO_TS folder in "DVD Input" mode. At that point everything is fine and Hybrid starts conversions without any problem. It simply finished too early, after converting only first *.VOB file. There are 5 VOB files on that DVD. First one is VTS_01_0.VOB which is DVD menu and Hybrid ignores it which is very good. My main video files are:
VTS_01_1.VOB
VTS_01_2.VOB
VTS_01_3.VOB
VTS_01_4.VOB
I know that since I can watch those files using VLC

After conversion the output file contains all audio and only first (VTS_01_1.VOB) video file. What is interesting, when Hybrid is doing conversion it correctly estimates output file size and conversion time. It finished conversion at round 30% without any error message. When conversion is finished the output file is much smaller and conversion is finished much sooner then expected as other *.Vob files are not converted. 

Thanks for help.
