Esxi running macos For selur

Okay, forget that.
That script is simply broken for degrainTR > 3.
-> so I send my whole non work day on this for nothing.
Going to bed now will fix the audio extaction tomorrow after work.

Knowing that script won't work is also important knowing !

So i done few more tests with VOB clips.
In Hybrid force setting "Frame Rate" to 25fps or Enabling "Adjust to Stream Framerate" or "Ignore Timecodes" in Muxing->Automation don't make any difference.

This is what i see in media inspector - same frame count, but 25 fps became 50fps after remuxing:


To compare i also attempt to remux same VOB to MKV with Remux app and it give me an error. So part of the problem may be due incorrectly extracted source VOB as you noticed.

Same VOB remuxed to MKV with MKVToolNix v53 app don't have any speed changes.

Same VOB remuxed in Hybrid to .TS don't have any speed changes.

Same VOB remuxed with Remux app to .TS don't have any speed changes.

Same VOB transcoded in Hybrid to x264 .MKV with audio passtrough don't have any speed changes.

Muxing Mpeg-2 to mkv was always a pain.
Will look at it, proabably easy to fix.

Knowing that script won't work is also important knowing !

Sure, still a wasted day.

If mkvtoolnix works, have you checked the command line it uses and compared it to Hybirds muxing call?
If not please do.

I know how to fix it, but won't get around to it today.

Nice to hear this! I looked at command line window in MKVtoolnix but seems nothing special there to see. The only custom setting i use in MKVToolNix is disabled compression for some payers compatability.

/Applications/MKVToolNix.app/Contents/MacOS/mkvmerge --ui-language en_US --output '/Users/aaa/Desktop/Planet Funk - Stop Me.mkv' --language 0:und --display-dimensions 0:768x576 --compression 0:none --language 1:und --compression 1:none '(' '/Users/aaa/Desktop/Planet Funk - Stop Me.vob' ')' --track-order 0:0,0:1

So in newer dev version "Use" checkbox for Deinterlacer was removed.

Hybrid does only deinterlace if:
a. the source is non-progressive
b. the output is not interlaced
If your source is flagged as interlaced, but in reality is progressive: overwrite the scan type.
If your source is flagged progressive, but in reality interlaced: overwrite the scan type.

Sounds logical, but what if i need to transcode Interlaced content to other Interlaced container? For example VOB to ProRes MOV. This is not too common situation but it takes place sometimes. In old version i simply uncheck "Use" checkbox for Deinterlacer  and checked "Interlacing" in ProRes settings.

So what will be correct way to convert Interlaced to Interlaced with new version? I guess Overwrite the scan type to Progressive? Or am i wrong?

[Selur]

Sounds logical, but what if i need to transcode Interlaced content to other Interlaced container?

Then Hyrid would not deinterlace since the output encoder should be configured for interlaced output. (and thus would violate b.)
For ProRes, ProRes->Interlacing should be enabled.

Send you a link to a dev version which hopefully fixes the remuxing.

Yep, it works. No more 50fps instead of 25 fps.

But another problem with extracting title from DVD still exists. .m2v file still stucked in Temp folder

[Selur]

Might be from a previous job.
Just tried here and all temp files got removed.
-> if you can recreate the issue, create a debug output.

okay, audio processing is still broken.

-> I'll look at it.
