Profile and Preset File Tweaking

DylanQuaid

All,
I have been trying to modify the presets and profiles that are in the program files for DVDFab 11.0.5.1 (Always Up to Date). Unfortunately every time i make a modification to any files or create my own presets and profiles, I see no difference from the original rips that use the default profile and preset. I am trying to rip at different x265 speeds as the default is medium and I would prefer to use 'placebo' or 'veryslow' presets for my rips. I have referred to (https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/presets.html) for all of the setting options. Is there something I am missing?

I expect some of the things you are trying to change may be hardcoded in DVDFab Ripper or contained in the preset file that your profile is using. You can edit the presets with Notepad or other pure text editor but you must save the preset to the same place with the same name it had before. If the modified preset and the profile have conflicting settings, the results will be unpredictable.

So I tried only modifying existing presets and profiles at first, but it wasn't changing my rip outputs from the original settings. The second thing I tried was making independent copies of the preset and then renaming it (both the file name and the name in the preset file) and then created a new profile that tied back to the preset for the encoder properties as well. The profile i used was a copy of the non 4k 10bit mkv profile that was unmodified other than the preset name line, and the settings that were changed in the preset were only the differences that the placebo preset had in the x265 site listed above. Are there any other changes that need to be made in the program files?

This is the preset I am trying to use with my changes:

And the profile that I have modified the video portion of to reflect the preset above:

MKV.H265.10bit.Placebo" descriotion="The profile creates mkv(h265 + aac/ac3) files for PC or supported device. (Placebo Preset)"
version="600" app_version="9100" type="0" tag="dvdfab,video,audio" icon="MKV_H265_10BIT"
using="for_bd, for_dvd, for_file, for_3d_bd, for_3d_dvd, for_3d_file, for_bd_2dto3d, for_dvd_2dto3d, for_file_2dto3d" />

Hi dylanquaid,

1. do you restart dvdfab, after change preset ?
2. it should work with soft x265 encode with profile mkv.h265.10bt. but some params maybe ignore by hardware nvidia nvenc encode.
placebo encode speed should be much slower than dvdfab packaged profile.

Please send us your log file, and with output mediainfo dump text of dvdfab profile and your changed file.

yours,
Wilson

Most recent log utilizing my custom profile and preset attached.
Yes, I restart DVDFab anytime a change is made and I am trying to utilize NVenc encoding and decoding with the changed preset.

DylanQuaid

I cannot upload the preset and profile as it says that it's not a valid image file. The contents of both have been posted above with none relevant and unchanged parts of the preset left out.

Any other suggestions here? is it possible to have this feature built in like handbrake?
