I found a bug which probably appeared with the fixes made around this whole feature. If I open a Matroska file (didn't test others) in the GUI, it opens normally but also produces small fragments of the tracks that it would demux if I saved a project. I.e. opening this file which has just one audio ...

The QP generation is really useful. Could you please extend it to mkv too? I can manually generate using chapters2qp but an automated job would be better :D It does work for mkv files. Long paths seem to cause a failure as you can see in this post: http://rationalqm.us/board/viewtopic.php?p=14370#p...

I think the path thing is so tied to the OS that it might not be worth it. I remembered that I had similar issues with indexing as well, it just didn't launch DGIndexNV even if there were no errors.

And no new requests related to this feature come to my mind

Yes, now it works for that part. With demuxing disabled and no -a, no demuxing occurs. With -a, everything is demuxed and the qp file is produced as well.

OK, guys, I found it. Boulder, in settings, disable Optimize for HDD. That's Optimize_For_HDD=0 in your INI. I'll fix things for that case. Wonderful! I was probably closing in on the issue myself as renaming the ini file and starting with a fresh one got different results and that option is one th...

DGIndexNV.exe -i q:\--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.mkv -e -h -a -o q:\demux\filename.dgi does not create the qp file.

Did you clear your browser cache? Show the directory with the downloaded RAR file. I launched the private mode of Firefox so it operates without any cookies or caches from the regular mode. dgindex_download.png dgindex_download2.png dgindex_download3.png One more round of testing to doublecheck. Ru...

The file in C:\Utils\DGIndexNV64 is definitely the same as the one I can download (using the private mode of Firefox so no cache involved). dgindexexe.png MD5 sum of the exe file is b5b4030b5f2d1337090cae989e1d845f and CRC32 is 79124212. The "C:" thing is standard, it's probably been there since the...

Another thing.. if I run an indexing job without any batch mode things, the indexing finishes but the process is stuck at 100%. I have to CTRL+C to end it. index_stuck.png Lemme answer this quick and then get to the rest. Nothing is stuck and you don't need ctl-c. The process is asynchronous to the...

Ok, let's test some more :) In my case, DGIndexNV is in directory C:\Utils\DGIndexNV. The testclips are at Q:\. So the first commands would be c: cd \utils\dgindexnv (this is just to make it faster to type the indexing command) q: dg_version.png I've verified that the .ini file contains the Enable_D...

This is the skeleton I use for batch processing, I'll now add -a to it: for %f in (x:*.mkv) do start /wait c:DGIndexNV.exe -i "%f" -e -h -at c:template.avs -o "x:\%~nf.dgi" This is what i got with different options and the latest build: 1. Demux enabled in GUI, -a option not set in CLI --> Demuxed a...

A-ha! That -a parameter must be it then :D But there is a connection between the GUI's demux part and the CLI, that's why I never started to look for any extra CLI parameters. If you have demuxing disabled in the GUI, the CLI won't do it either, even with the -a option. If you have it enabled, the C...

Still not working. I think it's because the "Chapters" checkbox is not kept active after I exit DGIndexNV. If I index and demux a Matroska file using the GUI, I always have to enable demuxing chapters. All the other files except for the video track are automatically checked and also demuxed using th...

I just did a batch indexing of several Matroska files using the command line. I've not remembered to bring this up before, but the demuxing does not extract the chapter files. That means the QP files won't be there either, of course.

Thanks, just tested it on a set of existing chapter files for my next encoding batch, works perfectly I can use the regular format, no need for XML support.

Yes, seems to be correct now. I tested a 25fps source as well and looks good. The wondering about B-frames was just general, I thought all chapters must start at an I-frame but I guess I was very much wrong there. I also tested a Matroska file but the QP file is not produced, got the chapter file th...

I tested this on Total Recall (should be this one: https://www.amazon.com/Total-Recall-4K-UHD-Blu-ray-Uncut/dp/B08YNQ5CVD/ ) and there are a few chapter points where the frame number calculation is off by one, so maybe it's due to rounding? CHAPTER01=00:00:00.000 CHAPTER01NAME= CHAPTER02=00:05:50.58...

Thank you. I had already concluded to use -1 before your post, hence the edit. Regarding the extensions, I'll use .txt for both because double click opens my text editor. ;) Hey, no worries regarding the extension and x265 will override that quantizer value anyway since it's out of the default rang...

I have the qpfile stuff working but I have two questions for you: 1. I create *.chapters.txt and *.qp.txt. Should I delete the .txt and just create *.chapters and *.qp? 2. Should I do (for example) 456 I -1 or, because the x265 doc says the QP field is optional, just 456 I The x265 docs suggest the...

Well then, what is it that you are asking for exactly? You want a file with the frame number and frame type for all frames that start chapters? Yes, exactly that - to ensure the playback starts from the correct place when jumping to a chapter. DJATOM's Python script is definitely nice as well :bravo:

"Specify a text file which contains frametypes and QPs for some or all frames." What is a QP and how is it obtained? QP is not needed in this case, it can be left out. QP is basically the frame quantizer, it's used if you want to force a fixed quantizer on some frame instead of the one the encoder ...

One more request: functionality to create a qpfile based on chapter timestamps during indexing. I've sometimes noticed that x264 and x265 miss some obvious scene changes and may not place a keyframe where the chapter begins (or if the chapter begins without a scene change, the issue is even more pro...

Would it be possible to utilize the Avisynth+ supported frame properties with DGSource, or does it already? They would be very useful in colorspace conversions etc. with plugins that read props.

Good to hear that you found the cause It's always a bit risky with these old releases to buy them (as they may have released another one and reauthored).

In addition to the fix, you also get to enjoy the overacting of William Shatner :belly-laugh:

Hi, I've been processing the Star Trek TOS season 1 Blu-rays and noticed that when I demux all tracks while indexing, three episodes got a broken DTS-HD MA stream. The episodes have a lot of seamless branching as they have a separate angle for CGI enhancements they did on the old TV show. This is on...
