![]() But if the audio was already AAC, just copy it over. Examples such as FLAC or DTS-HD to AAC/AC3, or AC3 640 to AAC 160 etc. ![]() The only times I'd re-encode the audio would be format support or a significant reduction in file size. Even if you encoded it at 320 Kbps, all you'd achieve is lower sound quality, Media players are capable of down-mixing 5.1 AAC to stereo. If the original audio was AAC 5.1 212 Kbps, I would simply copy that over, I would not re-encode it to stereo. An increase of 73 MB or 0.07 GB, which is roughly the difference in size between your two files.Īs to how you encode the audio, it depends on the source. In your example, a 94 minute 212 Kbps AAC = 143 MB file size, encoded at 320 Kbps the file size would become 216 MB. If you look carefully at the Media Info details for each file, it will show you the actual file size of each element (video track, audio track(s), subtitles etc.) along with its actual bit rate. ![]() Original file prior to converting the audio:įormat/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity with Spectral Band ReplicationįILE AFTER CONVERTING THE AUDIO (File is Now Larger than prior to converting the 5.1 audio)įormat/Info : Advanced Audio Codec Low Complexity The 'Fast 480p30' preset in HandBrake is essentially Quality RF 20, x264, fast preset. Turn off Interlace detection and Decomb on the filters tab and you'll probably find any difference disappears all other settings equals. Would I change the bitrate in XMedia lower than 320 in this case? The rate control mode is set to average bit rate (that's the only option) The reason HandBrake is likely running slower is that there are a 2 filters that are default on which won't be in xMedia. When I look at the original file in media info, I see Sampling rate : 48.0 kHz Bit rate : 212 kb/s. Generally, the AAC / 320 kbps works great, however there are times when the resulting file turns out larger than the original file that has 5.1 audio.įor example my video went from being 1.26 gb to 1.34 gb. I use this to convert my files (copy the video, only change the audio to accommodate my soundbar). The process takes on average 90 seconds per 1 GB of file size, it's very quick. Press the encode button at the top and XMedia will copy over the video track (untouched), convert the audio track (and copy over your DTS if set up), copy over any subtitles and create a new MKV file. Click the Tag tab and give the video a title, then click the Queue tab and click the large blue cross at the top to add your task to the list. If there are subtitles, go to the Subtitle tab and add those. You can also copy over the original DTS track, if you want, so you've got your basic stereo AAC track now, without losing the 5.1 DTS track, if you upgrade your setup in the future. ![]() Click the blue arrow to move your track to the right-hand window, and check its codec and quality settings match what you want. In the Audio tab, select your DTS track, ensure Mode is set to Convert, Codec is AAC, Channels is set to Stereo, and Bitrate is set to 320kbps. You often need to clear the track, then add it back in to ensure it's in copy mode. In the Video tab, change the Mode from Convert to Copy, check the output window shows your video track with Copy under the Modus heading. that does seem to be an problem with the latest vista version of xmr (3.2.7.1).In XMedia Recode set your output format to Profile, Custom and Format, Matroska, file extension will be MKV. thanks for pointing out the duplicate video track issue. \\media-server\pending_transcode) if i copy the video and subtitles to a local folder, then the problem goes away.įyi: i used the latest version for both machines (3.3.5.8 for windows 7 and 3.2.7.1 for vista). ![]() thoughts? it turns out this only happens when either the video or the subtitle file are on a network drive (e.g. if i take the same job and remove the rendered subtitle track, then the "add to queue" button works fine. i get no error message, and the queue is still empty. just to be clear, when i click the "add to queue" button for a job with a rendered subtitle track, nothing happens. i even copied the application folder from the vista machine, but nothing seems to make this work on my windows 7 server. i've tried restarting the application, restarting the server, reinstalling the application, etc. also, this is still working for me on my vista server, but it no longer works on my windows 7 server. if i remove the rendered subtitle track then everything works fine. i'm 99% sure this was working for me yesterday, but now today once i add the rendered subtitle track xmedia recode won't let me add the job to the queue. ![]()
