100% done, but endless working process ...

[ZX81]

Hi Fentango team,

please can anybody support me ...
Have spend many time but got no success ... that's the issue:
AVATR RED_BIRD_2D_F3: Ripping the main video using Blu-Ray to Blu-Ray is working fine (Sound = DTS).

Next to this I would like to transcode the video using WMV, "Zune" (= WMA9) because I have a Samsung Q2 portable Player. Source is my ripped video on HD.

I opened the WMV Zune profile and made this settings for my Q2:
320x180, 2-pass, video CBR 353kbps, FPS same as source, audio 192kbps Stereo, no Subtitles. All other = default.

Because I've a GTX275 running on a ASUS P6T WS with Xeon W3520 (same as i920), I use Cuda. And Core AVC is also installed.
(btw, because I've read in an other thread: Power Supply is a Dark Power Pro 850W ... that's power enough )

Result of the working process (translated), started on 2010/04/26:
22:01:49 Task 1
22:01:49 Source (00002.m2ts)
22:01:49 Transcoding: Two passes, first is starting ...
22:01:49 Cuda GPU acceleration for video decoding enabled
23:32:42 Transcoding: Two passes - first pass ready.
23:32:42 Transcoding: Two passes - second is starting ...
23:32:42 Cuda GPU acceleration for video decoding enabled

Now we have 2010/04/27, 0:30 PM, and the Task still isn't completed.

That's the DVDFab's process status information:
Task 2/2, Elapsed Time: 14:16:00,
Encoding FPS: 0:00, Percent: 100,00%, Elapsed Time: 12:57:00, Remaining Time: 00:00:00

The problem now is, the task will never stop. The 100% mark was set many hours ago. I'm forced to cancel it.

not really helpful ... ?
Passkey wasn't running.
And the same problem occurs, if I only rip 1 chapter (start = 1, end = 1), and it makes no difference, if "two" ore "one pass" is set - it will never end, allthough there is 100,00% reached.

Edit:
Ok, the .wmv file was in the output folder.
Watching the video on the Sammy Q2: There's a video to audio delay of ~6s

AVATAR Trailer on Disk ...

Hi,

on the BR RED_BIRD_2D_F3 there's a 2:00 video, it's kind a beautyful Avatar trailer.

So I'd ripped it using Blu-Ray to Blu-Ray (BD50).
This results in 2 files:
00003.m2ts (287.232KB)
00004.m2ts (236.724KB)
hm ... till now, I couldn't recognize any difference between these 2 Vids ...
However, next I'd like to transcode it to 320x180 for watching on my Sammy Q2. Using "File to Mobile", I open the folder BDMV\STREAM but get always this errors:
Open ...\BDMV\STREAM\00003.m2ts failed. File not supported.
Open ...\BDMV\STREAM\00004.m2ts failed. File not supported.

Any ideas?

Are you using File to mobile or Bluray to mobile? If you are using file to mobile then you are doing it wrong as you should really be doing Bluray to mobile and use the source that you already ripped from the Bluray disc. Just use the folder icon next to source and find the rip that you saved already

[AGJ]

Yes do not start multiple threads about same issue threads have been merged

[ZX81]

Hi
Thanx for that fast reply!
Yes, did use file to mobile, will try bluray to mobile.

[ZX81]

oh sorry
didn't find the other thread ... I'm a newbe here.
Please can you post the other threads link?

[AGJ]

I was talking about your 2 thread you started about same thing. I already merged them both together into this thread so no worries about it

[ZX81]

ok, got it.
but your advise doesn't work
currently Fab's "B2M" doesn't have a "WMV" (wma9) option, as it is under "F2M" ...
Theres only a wma10 (Xbox360) available ... the Sammy Q2 doesn't work with wma10, only wma9

[AGJ]

give a few of the regular Bluray members to wake up and pop in to see as they might know what to do as I have just started with Bluray last week and am still learning about it.

[ZX81]

hopefully ...
did check'd again XBOX360 B2M using wmv9+wma10, and as expected, the Sammy Q2 play the video, but w/o sound.

But my other problem regarding open the Trailer (was my other Thread) is solved by using B2M.
Thanx.

Did solved it for me, and it was so easy

The solution was a look into xbox360.wmv.wma.hd.xml preset. I made a copy with a few modifications (thanx for the profile_document.xml, located in the Profiles\Readme folder), and voila - my Sammy Q2 is happy

Using Blu-Ray to Mobile -> XBOX 360 now I have my own preset selectable and DVDFab gives me a pefekt and high quality picture conversion down to 320x180 with WMV9 + WMA9 !

That's my xml:

<profile name="SamsungQ2.wmv9.wma9" type="5" version="300" device="xbox360" tag="dvdfab,default" description="Profile for Samsung Q2 (WMV9 + WMA9)">
<common>
<file format="wmv" />

<volume percent="100"/>
<channels mode="0"/>
</audio>
<video>

<outfps mode="3" list="23.976" />
<encode codec="wmv9" fourcc="WMV3" bitrate_kbps="384" maxbitrate_kbps="768">
<mode value="real_time" list="real_time, high_quality"/>
</encode>
</video>
</common>
<acodec name="wma9">
</acodec>
<vcodec name="wmv9" quality="100" />
</profile>

Btw: Even I've bouth a registered copy of CoreAVC V2.0.0 Pro yesterday because it should support nvidias CUDA too, I'm wondering, why it doesn't do this in DVDFab (Win7 Ultimate x64, guess that's not an DVDFab problem). I control this using nvidias System Tools V6.06: In the monitoring histogramm window the Shaders Clock (= "GPU Processor Clk) remains low for the complete duration of the conversion time.

But if I set A/V Codec -> H.264 to CUDA, the shaders clock turns up and conversion is running much faster (GTX 275, 260 shader cores)

Well gald you got it figured out and now go and enjoy the movies
