I tried both and got the same result, so x264 must accept either format. After you said sar and dar are pretty much the same thing and thinking over how my test encodes are coming out, I concluded it 100% has to be x264 creating the mkv with that dar and by opening the output with mkvtoolnix...

Oh ok, so you only set one or the other. I thought what you were saying in the posts about this was that the ideal way was to set sar in x264 and set dar in container literally to 1:1. If I set sar and do not touch dar, my output.mkv has a 2.665(1279/480) dar for some reason and the picture is...

I hate to ask this again, but Im stumped over the SAR and DAR stuff. I have since moved away from the win10 environment using MeguiIVit and my custom Megui setup. My goal is to get this setup in Linux, 100% manual and command line, as free and open source as possible, but got stuck needing...

Damn, I was looking forward to an HD rip, but this new 720p encode is significantly worse quality than the 480p DVD encode. It at least lacks the goofy ass preg*.com url watermark randomly throughout the DVD encode. The filesize does give it away, but I had to see for myself.

Caught this topic from the sidebar and had to chime in after reading this. This is beyond aggravating and I experience the same thing. There have been so many times with FileJoker's captcha's that I have been told "sorry try again" that I've paid attention and am 100% sure that I am selecting...

QTGMC is great. I'm still surprised it's able to recreate image data based on interlaced frames and create an excellent looking 60fps encode in the vast majority of situations. It's like a form of AI learning which is a concept just introduced recently with technology in general. I made a...

I used Megui years ago, so I was already slightly familiar with it. I grabbed the latest version of it, qtgmc and all its plugins, qaac for audio, x264 for video, etc. Set them each up (It will take time researching and reading, if you aren't familiar with this already. You can get stuck at...

Original post by Choko has a proper rip. This last one is 1080p video at just over 1000 bitrate. It's so bitrate starved it looks like there's a mosaic filter over the entire picture for the entire length of the video.

I simply switched to the mkv container as a test and the encode plays back properly. Properties show 16:9 ratio and the video output is displayed at the proper size. This led me to believe it's tied to mp4 muxing (mp4box). Like you said, I found out that mp4box calculates aspect ratio a...

Thanks Sam. Cool to see you're still posting here. I'm seeing how complicated this stuff can be. In general, you pretty much have to be able to write custom scripts at least once, to get video conversions proper. The aspect ratio stuff is confusing me, because it's coming out differently...

I almost have my own current up to date MeGUI setup going using the same components as MeguIVit here, but Im still perfecting it and trying to get QTGMC working. I have a few questions: In the first post, the feature list says: Anamorphic video output (720 pixel width) with aspect ratio...

Works now, thanks!

Had my eyes out for this for awhile. Thank you. I'm having trouble with part 4 though. Tried a couple different pc's, but FileJoker always sends a 7byte file instead of the 182mb file. I see a handful of thanks already, but no one else mentioned this. Anyone know what's up?

SamKook, When using MKV as source, mkvinfo.exe crashes and it does not process audio or chapters in the source. I can't update the exe in your version because it seems to extract built in files on the fly as its run which doesnt allow updating individual components. Any chance of an update...

Thank you for sharing this is ISO and doing so via torrent! DVD Decryptor shows programs chains 3 and 4 are corrupt. Ripping the main program chain (#2) results in an empty vob file. Is the ISO corrupt?
