Bad news but not unexpected. Simple operations like frame double & telecine would make transcoding a lot easier and give better results. What does HB do if out_rate exactly equals in_rate * 2 (e.g. 24000/1001 to 48000/1001)? What does HB do if out_rate exactly equals in_rate * 1.25 (e.g. 48000/1...

Description of problem or question: Here's what I need to do: 23.976_FPS ==> [_frame_double_] ==> [_23-telecine_] ==> 59.940_FPS I need expert advice how to do it. This: 23.976_FPS ==> 47.952_FPS ==> [_save_file_] 47.952_FPS ==> 59.940_FPS will not do for 3 reasons: 1, 23.976_FPS ==> 47.952_FPS (wh...

https://youtu.be/5eu_KjKsnpM You might find this video entertaining. For my terms interlaced systems vs progressive system. We will go with 60hrz cause it’s what we are taking about. Both “systems” (Maybe a poor choice of word, but it’s what I’m gong with. The concept is what matters) are a 60FPS m...

It’s universally rejected because it has no real world use outside your use. The math doesn’t add up and Combing is bad in a progressive system. What math doesn't add up? When telecining p24 to p30 or p60, combing is the result. How else can you add the additional frames? Would you add blank frames...

So far, 55-telecine has been universally rejected and I've been ridiculed for proposing it. Frankly, I'm amazed. I think it's rejection is caused by abstraction of video metrics to numbers instead of pictures and reasoning. Well, I have some numbers, too. 23-telecine produces 30FPS video having 12Hz...

No, I really meant field. Try to draw a picture of that. I think you'll see the problem with it. A combed/interlaced image has 2 fields making one frame. Each field a different moment in time. You are left with interlaced/combed frames problem in a progressive system. First, all frames are progress...

I understand the combed frames. But what to do with them in a progressive system. I can A. Leave as is and have combing artifacts few times a second. Yes, that's right. Every 1/12th second, there's a 1/60th second combed frame. It's so brief, it's almost invisible. B. Blur them. Yes, you can do tha...

You have the essential idea but I don't know why you write "not a true representation". How not? Because there is no mathematical way to represent 24 frames into 60 evenly without juter through 6:4 pulldown. I draw pictures (timing diagrams, actually) as I drew in the previous postings. L...

As M2TS files dont contain chapters why would you process one in HB and expect the correct chapters? I don't... Ah, I see the source of confusion, and it's my fault. I've got about 6 balls in the air and things have gotten a little confused. At some particular experimental set up in the past, I ext...

PS: I have done 55-telecine via ffmpeg. ffmpeg -i IN -filter_complex "telecine=pattern=5, split[A][B], [A]select='not(eq(mod((n+1)\,5)\,3))'[C], [B]select='eq(mod((n+1)\,5)\,3)',pp=linblenddeint[D], [C][D]interleave" -map 0 -codec:v libx264 -crf 18 -codec:a copy -codec:s copy -dn OUT The r...

From what i'm reading as I look what the OP wants to do is basically create a fake frame that's a combination of 2 frames for 1/60th every 2 frames/10. Basically create your own interpolated frame by using combing and blend interlacing. Ingenious, but is not a true representation of the original fi...

You could also use a hex editor and read the 1's and 0's from the HD platters as thats where the data is, its still not a good idea. The playlists exist for a reason. I dont know of any program that gets chapters from an m2ts, do you? M2TS files don't contain chapter indexes. HandBrake gets chapter...

While you seem determined to mess about with m2ts and vob files there is not much more I can help you with. I understand. Thank you for your help; very generous. I feel your frustration and share it. Yes, I mess about with M2TSs & VOBs. They are where the streams are. I don't know of any altern...

Ok, so you are still watching every m2ts/vob to see what they are? Yes. That will be your problem then, you need to find a way to open the root folder or use makemkv to rip your disc. I will try 'eac3to D: -demux' again. I will also try makemkv, though I've already ripped to ISO. I've included the ...

mkvextract apparently only accepts MKV containers, not M2TSs and not VOBs.

In fact your workflow could be: Extract everything with mkvextract/eac3to. mkvextract will not extract chapters. eac3to extracts solely the main feature (longest?) unless I supply a title #. In a script, supplying title #s is problematic. Encode video with ffmpeg, are timestamp issues in container ...

Well, first I run mkvmerge to get the original video & audio & subs. mkvmerge apparently can't get chapters.
Last I run mkvmerge to merge 55-telecine video from ffmpeg + audio-subs-chaps from handbrakecli.

rollin_eng wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 5:57 pm So have you tried muxing JUST the subs and chapters?

Muxing? Or demuxing?

Can you not create a mkv from mkvmerge with just the subtitles and chapters in? Nope. I just tried this and it is certainly possible. What was your command line? You first :) Me first? My command? "Roll over." Okay, seriously: mkvmerge --default-duration 0:24000/1001fps -o "%AVOut%\%...

Nope.

I just tried this and it is certainly possible.

What was your command line?

This ping-pong game is making me dizzy.

Sure.

rollin_eng wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 4:00 pm Again HB is not a muxer, it cannot take a bunch of streams and mux them together. It never has and judging what the devs say it never will.

All that's needed is to take streams from 2 files instead of from 1 file.

Aw, come on. I'm not a 'C' programmer.

rollin_eng wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 4:04 pm Of course HB CAN mux, but it is not a muxer.

Well, it should be, for example, when a user doesn't want to transcode the video.
