Standard 8-bit H.264 profile

[Naomi010Sentzke]

I am trying to make a profile that records a clip in standard 8-bit in a mp4 container and hardsubs the subtitles.

only_active_tracks=yes
preserve_filters=yes
append_filter=
codec= -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 13 -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k
output_format=$f_$n.mp4
output_directory=
detached=yes
ffmpeg_command=ffmpeg
print=yes

Any suggestions ?

So what is the problem?

[Naomi010Sentzke]

It does not work. I set it with Shift+e script-message-to encode set-timestamp encode_custom. I can set the timestamps, but when I press Enter to encode nothing happens unlike encode_slice and encode_webm.

This particular config seems to work for me, can you set detached=no and run mpv from a terminal, so that you see ffmpeg's error output?

It said failed to encode, check log for details

I went ahead and ran mpv through Command Prompt and got this

Ah sorry that's kind of silly of me, I forgot I have all output from ffmpeg disabled, I need to revise this. What if you run the ffmpeg command directly in the command-line?

 ffmpeg -ss 00:00.000 -i 'H:\Anime\Log Horizon 2\[SallySubs] Log Horizon 2 - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [2D5E1BC3].mkv' -to 63.7098541661 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 13 -c:a libfdk_aac -b:a 128k 'H:\Anime\Log Horizon 2\[SallySubs] Log Horizon 2 - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [2D5E1BC3]_1.mp4'

[Naomi010Sentzke]

So, Zeranoe's ffmpeg build does not come with --enable-libfdk-aac. So, I went with the native aac encoder
ffmpeg -ss 00:00.000 -i 'H:\Anime\Log Horizon 2\[SallySubs] Log Horizon 2 - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [2D5E1BC3].mkv' -to 63.7098541661 -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -map 0:2 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 13 -c:a aac -b:a 128k 'H:\Anime\Log Horizon 2\[SallySubs] Log Horizon 2 - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [2D5E1BC3]_1.mp4' and got this error

Automatic encoder selection failed for output stream #0:2. Default encoder for format mp4 (codec none) is probably disabled. Please choose an encoder manually.
Error selecting an encoder for stream 0:2

So, I went with this by removing the map arguments
ffmpeg -ss 00:00.000 -i 'H:\Anime\Log Horizon 2\[SallySubs] Log Horizon 2 - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [2D5E1BC3].mkv' -to 63.7098541661 -c:v libx264 -profile:v high -level 4.2 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 13 -c:a aac -b:a 128k 'H:\Anime\Log Horizon 2\[SallySubs] Log Horizon 2 - 01 [BD 1080p FLAC] [2D5E1BC3]_1.mp4'
But it does not contain the subs. I want ffmpeg to hardsub the subs. For that you need to pass "-vf subtitles=filename.mkv" to ffmpeg. After lots of compromises, this is my new config.

only_active_tracks=yes
preserve_filters=yes
append_filter=
codec= -c:v libx264 -profile:v main -level 4 -pix_fmt yuv420p -crf 15 -c:a libopus -b:a 160k
output_format=$f_$n.mkv
output_directory=
detached=yes
ffmpeg_command=ffmpeg
print=yes

Now, heres a new issue. I wanted to put output_format=$f_$s_$e_$n.$x, but it wont accept that.

[occivink]

Oh I never realized but : is not accepted in filenames on windows so $s and $e have never worked there. Should be fixed now.

Regarding vf=subtitles, I think I will add a specific parameter for this, since it's currently not easy/possible to do with the existing ones.
