Random Junks

Ugh...I haven't posted much in my journal...except my public raw scans and Eternal's releases lately *shot*

Need to post more...but I've got so much scanning to catch up on for both Eternal and talesofscans, so not much time to post DX

At least once I completely resolve the encoding problems for my DVD rips into anime raws for the Tales of Symphonia OVA for Abyssal Chronicles, I'll finally be able to get more into the scanning mode. Not to mention scanlation stuff for Eternal is piling up again...x_x

At least I've completely solved the problem for deinterlacing the video. Now all that is left is to figure out how to decimate the video properly so that when it's converted from 29.97 fps to 23.976 fps (which is the frame rate anime raws should have) so that the video will run smoothly and not laggy, jerky or jumpy (I'm having a jumping issue at the start of the video right now, otherwise it's smooth the rest of the way). It seems I can't change the cycle to any number other than cycle=5 otherwise the length/time of the video would be too long or too short from the original VOB video (there cannot be any time difference. At the most, only by 1 sec, otherwise the audio will be out of sync, and the audio is encoded separately to be muxed with the video later)...I'll probably need to mess around with the mode parameter with different modes to handle decimating the video so that I can get it smooth the entire way. Mode=2 is the one that is giving me the jumpy scene at the beginning of the video :S Mode=0 is a no go as it's causing jerky and lagginess at certain parts of the video which doesn't happen in the original VOB video source.

I think that's enough of my random babbling about video encoding which most of you on my flist probably don't understand...haha. Please, just ignore me. I'm new to encoding myself. AC's encoder (the one encoding Tales of the Abyss for Abyssal Chronicles) is the one teaching me stuff and I'm just playing around with what he taught XD

Time to sleep!

GO, RENA!! YOU KNOW THAT ALL OF US ARE CHEERING FOR YOU!!

*throw around flowers and put up a big sign saying "GO, RENA! GO!!"*

*shot'd*

(I sometimes seriously feel like . . . a weirdo . . . T^T )

Anyway, HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT FINE FOR YOU, RENA!!! XDDD

[eternal-rena.livejournal.com]

Aren't you always a weirdo?

Have you been taking your medicine???

[icysbrani.livejournal.com]

That's a question I've asked her this morning, too. >_>

We ♥ you, Judasu.

[argentum-canine.livejournal.com]

<3

I'm loved . . . ? :'D

*shot'd for acting silly again*

[argentum-canine.livejournal.com]

. . . >_>"

Am I really always a weirdo . . . ? T^T

*depressed*

PS. I took it . . . the last time was on Saturday, I think. I usually just go straight to bed and always forgot to take it . . . am sorry . . . >_<"

[eternal-rena.livejournal.com]

you're not always a weirdo, more like having a lot of mood swings >__>

You need to take your medicine regularly otherwise it's not going to help you...you can take lesser when you're recovering, but not right now...>__>

[argentum-canine.livejournal.com]

DDDX

But I can't . . . actually control my mood swing that much . . . *depressed*

Guess I really am being weird after all . . . T^T

I don't know . . . I mean, guess I have to put a really big sign and arrow on my table, pointing to the medicine and say "EATS ME!! :3 " . . . or else I can never remember to take it . . . >_<"

[eternal-rena.livejournal.com]

That might actually be a good idea...

[argentum-canine.livejournal.com]

Alright . . . will work that out then . . . :3

*go off preparing some piece of board, a pair of scissors and some tapes*

I'm kind of new for this things as well. As far as I know is using SUPER to convert MKV to AVI using for video editting, other than that left as don't care >_> But it seemed you can handle it fine.

[eternal-rena.livejournal.com]

I've tried SUPER, but I've found that it's not really a very good program. I can't get rid of interlacing using it cause it refuses to let me set the deinterlacer :/

Also, I'm converting ripped DVD videos which are in the VOB file format using the MPEG-2 stream into MKV using the H264 codec for video and AAC codec for audio. The original video is interlaced, so I need something that can deinterlace the video when it's encoded to progressive. It also needs to be able to convert the video from 29.97 fps (which is the frame rate the VOB is) into 23.976 fps (which is the frame rate anime raws should have) without causing lagginess or jerkiness when the video is running. It has to be smooth. This lagginess or jerkiness is due to the program converting the frames wrongly.

I'm using VirtualDubMod 1.5.10 with AVISynth 2.5. It's very good, but you need to know how to use AVISynth to do function calling and using the plugins and stuff. But it gives so much more control.

[icysbrani.livejournal.com]

So that's why I had problem with it. I've tried convert MKV to AVI or MKV to WMV and they failed. :\ Guess it's time to new method. Thx, I'll try AVISynth out.

I'm actually kind of relieved to hear that you're busy, because then I feel slightly less bad about taking forever on the Gag Theater translation. :\

Hope you get the encoding stuff figured out! Anything with video is a complete mystery to me.

[eternal-rena.livejournal.com]

XD

Lol, don't worry about it. It's not like I'm expecting it to be done in one day or one week or something. As long as it doesn't take forever (like a few months, one year, blah), it's fine cause I have a buttload of stuff to do anyway.

EDIT: Oh, BTW, I've already solved the video problems. I just needed to change the decimate mode. Time to encode the raws and make the work raws for AC XD
