if it was VFR to begin with why did you break the 29.97 sections by forcing them to 23.976 fps? now the ED stutters (whereas the unofficial version someone else released properly uses VFR).
Maniac, it’s because this is the only way I know how to use VFR. If you tell me the right method, I’d gladly start doing it, assuming that it’s doesn’t slow down the encoding from like 12 fps to 3 or whatever.
use this command line to get the timecodes from the original mkv:
mkvextract timecodes_v2 “your_input_mkv_file.mkv” track_ID_of_your_video_stream:”your_output_timecodes_file.txt”
now demux the video track to straight h264
then remux just the video track to an MKV *without* the timecodes. (this will desync your video, but that’s ok!) use any FPS it doesn’t matter, you can leave it blank.
now open the video in megui/avisynth
encode it
now mux it back into mkv but this time use the timecodes file!
you can also get the timecodes from mkvextractgui using these settings:
MKVextractGUI, you have to select Options -> Time -> Timecodes and it will extract timecodes automatically.

Yep, I am still not quite sure whether the 720p-version _in_this_particular_case_ is really that much better than the “SD”-version – but if it’s there when I attempt to download -> I’ll gladly go for it.
And I didn’t run into any weird problems, I guess.
Anyway If this is remotely interesting for you: here is how “low I can go” with
And if not hasted by too many processes in the background even my oldy-laptop ((’04 Centrino-1 with P.-M1,4GHz/Banias; radeonM10/ free radeon drivers)) still manages somehow – apart from few (not you ones) encodes with really heavy OP/ED (hard-) subtitle animations where the sync goess off and the image sometimes begins to stutter, sometimes (a quick seek back/forth and this is fixed in time for the “real” content – my desktop however won’t bother with any let-downs, at all (’06 C2D-E6400, nvidia CS-drivers)
- both running Ubuntu/Hardy (08-04) with only the “official” main and universe/multiverse repositories, software used: gmplayer, compiz/Gnome (3D desktop effects) running on both. decoder-codec vor video is AFAIK ffmpeg on both systems.
The only thing I am “kind of” missing is coloured / live-modified subtitles for the speech / that said, I am happy enough the stuff works this well. And no – I won’t consider booting into Windows for watching anime fansubs. That’s something that’s reserved for liveforspeed – only.
Hope this is not considered spam and thanks again for subbing DC2-Sec.S!

When are you going to release episode 7?
May 19th, 2008 at 4:14 am
Maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after…
These few weeks have been hell for us.
The arrests of the cappers have fucked our schedules up big time.

Oh, sure, not a problem!
use this command line to get the timecodes from the original mkv:
mkvextract timecodes_v2 “your_input_mkv_file.mkv” track_ID_of_your_video_stream:”your_output_timecodes_file.txt”
now demux the video track to straight h264
then remux just the video track to an MKV *without* the timecodes. (this will desync your video, but that’s ok!) use any FPS it doesn’t matter, you can leave it blank.
now open the video in megui/avisynth
encode it
now mux it back into mkv but this time use the timecodes file!
May 19th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
oops hit submit by accident
timecodes can be found on the general track options for your video track.
then mux and you’ll be all set, your audio and video should be in sync just fine and VFR content will be preserved.

I’ll have to try that one day. This week’ll be the same, since I see a 720p now. However, I’ll be trying that method later.
May 20th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
It’ll probably take you a total of 5 minutes longer if it goes smoothly, lol. It’s pretty straight-forward.
