HOW TO UPLOAD
So how can you be an uploader? You can upload even without the uploader status. Here's how.


Programs you will need.

1) Alltoavi (http://downloads.sourceforge.net/alltoavi/AllToAVI_v4_r5394_Setup.exe?modtime=1185303407&big_mirror=0)
2) Bencos (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AJG2K1X6) Updated!! (1/30/10)
3) Megamanager (optional) (http://static.megaupload.com/megamanager.exe)



Part I. Preparing the Video for Bencos

First you have to determine what format your video is. The easiest for me to determine the video type is to unhide extensions for known file type

To do this, just go to:
-->Tools-->Folder Option --> View Tab --> Uncheck Hide extensions for known file type

1) If its mkv

You have to convert it to avi using alltoavi. Here are the steps:


1) After opening alltoavi, click on 'Add File', and select the mkv video

Screenshot (http://img504.imageshack.us/img504/6403/46562682qd9.jpg)

2) It will most likely say:
'H.264 Video detected! Do you want AlltoAvi to more restricted special
mode?[RECOMMENDED]'
Just click yes.

Screenshot (http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/2706/59896933kj3.jpg)

3) Another window will show saying 'H.264 Mode require the use of No Skip Option, please choose a Frame rate'
Just click Ok.

Screenshot (http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/821/45951413pw6.jpg)

4) For video Bitrate, input 1200.
5) For subtitle, select in the option box '0'
6) Same for Audio as well, '0'

Screenshot (http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/6137/59857296pu3.jpg)

7) Select the No Skip option window
8) See what AlltoAvi Suggested FPS and check the box close to that number and click Ok.

Screenshot (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9381/39606094us6.jpg)

9) Go back to the Convertion window and click 'Add Job'
10) Click Convert!

Screenshot (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9136/47866656dw4.jpg)
2) If its in RMVB format

1.) Open AlltiAvi and drag the video inside.

Screenshot (http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1391/74490815ot6.jpg)

2) A window will show saying 'Alltoavi could not determine the parameters of the video, please manually specify'
Just press Ok

Screenshot (http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/2782/27204342ye7.jpg)

3) Now the AlltoAvi doesn't detect the screen size of the video, so you have to manually set it.

-When the video is in wide screen(the rectangle one), set the screen size to 704x400.

Screenshot (http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/2272/32582728hz9.jpg)

-When the video has normal screen (the square one), set the screen size to 640x480

Screenshot (http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/1703/55678706sm6.jpg)

4)Set the video codec to 'XVID'
5) Select Software Scaler 'to Bi Cubic'
6) Set Bitrate to '1200'
7) Set Audio Bitrate to '128'
8) Set Subtitle to '-1'
9) Set Audio to '-3'

Screenshot (http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/2994/65964862sy0.jpg)
10) Click Add and then Convert!

3) If its in Avi or Mp4 then you can proceed to the next step.




Part II. Converting the video to mp4 using Bencos.
Even though the video is already in mp4 format, you still have to reconvert it in BENCOS. Assuming your video is already in avi or mp4 format, proceed to the following steps.


1) Open up bencos and go to files tab

Screenshot (http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/6909/15723954ao6.jpg)

2) right click by your mouse in this window and add the files you wish to encode. (Notice that you can add many eps here.)

Screenshot (http://img516.imageshack.us/img516/3769/34892300aa7.jpg)

3) The C:\ is the directory were bencos will output the encoded files, be sure to check if there is enough space there (you can change the directory of course)

Screenshot (http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/4660/52392144gb8.jpg)

4) Go to Settings Tab and change the following settings:

-Source: Generic
-Container: MPEG-4
-Video codec: MPEG4 AVC
-Audio codec: AAC HE+PS
-Video Quality: Normal
-Video Bitrate: 300
-Audio Bitrate: 48(check stereo)

Screenshot (http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/505/56194693zs0.jpg)

5) Now for resize. To know the exact ratio, open AlltoAvi, add the video. In Screensize, make sure you check the Locked Aspect Ratio box. In the first box(width), change that to 512. The height will automatically be set. Copy that value and go back to bencos

Screenshot (http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/9476/42083393dp9.jpg)

Screenshot (http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/8191/45075516iw7.jpg)

6) check resize and replace it with the copied values. Ex. 512:384

Screenshot (http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/2056/10428128ww9.jpg)

7) Go to status tab, then click Start.

Screenshot (http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2957/13984813vv5.jpg)C. Uploading

For your convenience and ours, you can upload the converted video to www.MegaUpload.com (http://www.MegaUpload.com). After Uploading, PM me or Jbluey the links, after we verify the upload, we will change your status to Uploader.

(Optional) You can use the program called MegaManager instead of using your browser for uploading. The advantage of using megamanager is that it has a resume function. So even if you got disconnected, your upload wont go back to 0%.

Screenshot (http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/6438/94801442gz6.jpg) Method#2 How to convert MKV/OGM with the best quality


Extra software needed.
1) AviSynth 2.5 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E1OMOT2R)
2) Aegisub (http://www.aegisub.net/)
3) OGM Cleaver (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/OGMcleaver-Download-80088.html)
4) MKV Toolnix (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/MKVToolnix-Download-43981.html)

1st - Software preparations


Install the following softwares. For OGM Cleaver, you have to extract the contents on the desired directory you want to put it.

Open OGM Cleaver and click on 'Find MKVToolnix', it would probably find the folder itself but if it didn't, locate the MKVToolnix directory and click Okay. 2nd - Extract subs


Open OGM Cleaver and aclick on 'Open OGM/MKV files to process' button. Select the MKV or OGM file. On the right panel, uncheck everything except the subtitle that you are going to use for encoding.

Click on 'Extract tracts' button. (You can add multiple files as long as they have similar tracks structure.)

You will know when it is done when the processing section (left panel) is empty

The .srt or .ass (subtitle files that are extracted from the video) is on the same directory as the mkv/ogm file 3rd - Convert video to avi using alltoavi


Convert video to avi without subtitles 1200 bitrate for video and 128 bitrate for sound. Do not resize. Also make sure you chose the right audio.(If you don't know how to use alltoavi, please refer to the top tutorial)
4th - Prepare script
Open notepad and paste this code


LoadPlugin("")
AVISource("")
TextSub("") In LoadPlugin, type the location of 'vsfilter.dll' (a component of aegisub) inside the quotes. ex.(LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Aegisub\csri\vsfilter.dll")) If you have installed aegisub by default then the directory would be "C:\Program Files\Aegisub\csri\vsfilter.dll"
In AVISource, type the location of the avi you have recently converted using alltoavi inside the quotes.
In TextSub, type the location of the extracted subtitle (.srt or .ass) of the video inside the quotes.

Save the file as '<avi video name>.avs' and save it on the same directory as the avi file.
ex.
avi file is "School_Rumble_01.avi", so the script file would be, 'School_Rumble_01.avs'5th - Convert to mp4 using bencos


Resize the video to a 512px width. Please refer to alltoavi of the proper ratio.

Video Bitrate should 290 (this is standard to all videos regardless if it is action or not)

Audio bitrate is 48

Instead of adding the avi file to convert, add the avs file instead

Choose the directory you want to save the file

Start converting


Method#3 How to Convert avi/mp4 into streamable mp4

Extra software needed.
1) SUPER Converter (http://www.filehippo.com/download_super/) (Install after download)
2) MP4 Box (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=9KV6E82Q) (Extract all contents inside bencos folder. Allow replacing of existing files)

1st - File Locations


First you need to determine the locations of these following files/folders and place them in a notepad for convinience:

1) Location of 'mencoder' folder inside SUPER Converter folder (where SUPER Converter is installed)
2) Location of mp4 Box inside bencos folder (where bencos is installed)
3) Location of the video file(avi,mp4) you want to convert

Note: When saving the locations on the notepad, put them in quotes ("")

Screenshot (http://imgur.com/xMt6M.jpg)2nd - Converting video using mencoder

1) open up notepad and copy/paste the following code in it

mencoder "input" -ovc x264 -oac faac -faacopts br=64:mpeg=4: object=2 -channels 2 -srate 48000 -o "output" -vf scale=512:384 -x264encopts deblock=1,1:bframes=5:frameref=5:threads=2:b_pyram id:nofast_pskip:nopsnr:crf=22:8x8dct:weight_b:mixe d_refs:me=umh:partitions=all:subq=7:trellis=1 2) replace "input" with the location of the video file you saved earlier
3) replace "output" with the file name you want for the video after conversion ex: "anime_01.mp4"
4) check if the resize ration is correct in 'scale=512:384' using alltoavi (check previous tutorials on how to check for the proper resize ratio)
Example based on the screenshot above:

mencoder "E:\Multimedia\My Videos\Mamotte Shugogetten\[A-Flux] Mamotte Shugogetten 01 [A7C7704F].avi" -ovc x264 -oac faac -faacopts br=64:mpeg=4: object=2 -channels 2 -srate 48000 -o "Mamotte_Shugogetten_01.mp4" -vf scale=512:384 -x264encopts deblock=1,1:bframes=5:frameref=5:threads=2:b_pyram id:nofast_pskip:nopsnr:crf=22:8x8dct:weight_b:mixe d_refs:me=umh:partitions=all:subq=7:trellis=1 5) open command prompt by going to (windows xp)start menu --> run --> and type cmd
6) type cd "location of mencoder of SUPER converter" and press ENTER. example: (cd "C:\Program Files\eRightSoft\SUPER\mencoder")

TIP: to paste a text, right-click inside the command prompt and select paste

7) paste your recently modified code inside the command prompt and press ENTER
Screenshot (http://imgur.com/QjjYZ.jpg)

Wait for the video to finish converting3rd - Making the converted video streamable

There are two ways of doing this. One is through converting the newly converted video in bencos, and two is to use mp4box to make it streamable. I won't explain how to convert it using bencos because I would assume you would know that by now. I will just explain how to convert it using the mp4box.

1) Copy the newly converted video from the mencoder folder into the bencos folder
2) Open command prompt and type cd "Location of bencos" Example: (cd "C:\Program Files\Bencos")

NOTE: Replace all "video" with the actual video file name.

3) type mp4box -aviraw video "video.mp4" and press ENTER. The extracted video file would be something like this ("video.h264")
4) type mp4box -aviraw audio "video.mp4" and press ENTER. The extracted audio file would be something like this ("video.raw")
5) Rename audio "video.raw" to "video.acc". Make sure the you change the extension type. If you can't see it, (Windows XP)Go to tools --> folder options --> View tab --> Uncheck Hide extensions for known file type[/b]
6) type mp4box -add "video.mp4" -add "video.acc" "video_streamable.mp4". Replace video_streamable withe a desired file name, make sure its different from the original video file.

If above method doesn't work, convert it using bencos.

[BloodyAngel]

IT will be also Good If you add the Links Where they can Download those Software...

[Satsujinki]

Does bencos work on 64bit vista, it doesnt seem to work on mine ;S

[avich]

I think its not compatible with 64bit machines.

[Satsujinki]

oh i see nevermind then. i was gonna help jim with some uploads but my os prevents me it seems.

[avich]

Aww thats just sad.

[alown]

yes it works on 64bit computer. why wouldn't it.

[avich]

Have you tried it? I can't test, my OS is only 32bit

[Satsujinki]

Heh idunno it won't even open on mine o_o

[alown]

avich, you should mention how if the .mkv has hard subs (it doesn't happen alot) you can just use bencos and skip the all-to-avi step.



Heh idunno it won't even open on mine o_o
you need to right click the program go into properties. Click the Compatibility tab then check Run this program as Admin. It didn't work for me, but it will afterwards. Please post if this works.

[Satsujinki]

Well i tried running it on admin mode and not, same results and gave me an error and it doesnt start up. don't have it on my machine anymore. trying something else right now though

[alown]

anyone ever try converting using MeGui. I am going to try it on my .mkvs and see how it goes.

[xiety]

btw does mp4 takes long to reconverted in bencos ?

[avich]

@xiety, it depends on the core speed. But I guess all formats that is converted using bencos have the same converting duration because all of it goes under the same conversion process.

@alown, so, how did it go?

[Maemichan]

Hey avich
What status should I be in to be able to upload videos?

[Bindu1000]

Hi Maemichan

If you have uploaded the vids onto MU, first PM Jbluey or Avich the links and once they check it out, they will let you know and change your status to Uploader.

We dont allow direct uploads onto OS ... sorry :1:

[Maemichan]

ahhh got it!!!!I was thinking of helping you guys out... I'm kinda bored right now and I'm not sure what anime to watch next lol..
This is my first time doing this so I am going to research all this stuff so i will know what im doing. thanks Bindu!

[ensuredsilence]

I wanna try uploading.. :) can I?

[jbluey]

yes you can.. ~ ^^>

just be xur to upload the converted format [mp4] ~ ^^>.

[Bindu1000]

Hi ... pls also let us know what you guys are converting / uploading so we both dont waste our time doing the same anime :1:

[Maemichan]

Hi ... pls also let us know what you guys are converting / uploading so we both dont waste our time doing the same anime :1:


hey I actually pm jim about it.. I am actually doing "Bartender" so whenever i get done with it, I will pm jim and avich to see if its good or not.
Wish me luck! ( I'm kinda excited, its like my first project LOL):emh22:

[coldfire01]

[marinne14]

umm we can use any converter right? like videora (to mp4)?

[zevlag21]

can i upload H-videos just joking... i will try to upload once i get my CD's from my other house its really far away you know... if their is something written that it is not a free sub should i upload it?

[KeiichiMamoru]

I have a problem with AllToAvi, I'm converting a .mkv file but it doesn't go to 'restrictive mode'... how come?

[avich]

If the mkv video is not compressed using H.264 then it doesn't need to be in restrictive mode.

[KeiichiMamoru]

If the mkv video is not compressed using H.264 then it doesn't need to be in restrictive mode.


I see... but how can I convert it?

[SquishyNinja]

I would love to help you guys out with this! ^^

[avich]

Follow this settings for non-restrictive mode.

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/3239/88136276.jpg

[KeiichiMamoru]

thanks, avich. xD

[avich]

No problem.

Edited the tutorial abit. Also added new bencos link.

[Maemichan]

What is the format is on Flv? what should i do?

[ShazunaChan]

ima upload an anime or atlease try to ( anime is vandread ) xD i love it

[avich]

What is the format is on Flv? what should i do?

We discourage flv formats because it can't render fast moving scenes properly.

[Maemichan]

ahhh ok, thanks for letting me know!!!!!

[ayhencute]

Does Mkv Too long to convert? i tried to convert it well i guess it took me 3 1/2 hrs just to convert it to avi

[avich]

Yeah, it takes a lot of patience to upload a good quality video ^^

[ranmachua]

Hmm... The upload feature still doesn't allow me to enter as it states that I don't have enough privilleges

[mattduy]

Do we have to use those said programs to convert or can we just use our own converters?

[avich]

It is highly recommended you use those programs to have a good quality video conversion.

[mattduy]

Do I need the optional one? What would that be used for?

[avich]

It is to make uploading multiple files easier. Also it has a resume function if ever your internet got disconnected in the middle of uploading, it wouldn't go back to 0% and will continue where it stopped. While as if you just upload via browser, it will go back to 0%.

[mattduy]

Ah I see. Okay thanks.

[avich]

Hmm... The upload feature still doesn't allow me to enter as it states that I don't have enough privilleges

You need to convert the video mentioned in the guide and upload it on MU and send the link to me or to jim. :)

[mattduy]

What about dual audio files? Do I just convert it like I normally would?

[ayhencute]

can i convert OGM file to avi format?

[jbluey]

yes.. alltoavi can convert ogm > avi..
but if you encounter some problems.. please post so that we can help you ~ ^^>

[ayhencute]

yes.. alltoavi can convert ogm > avi..
but if you encounter some problems.. please post so that we can help you ~ ^^>

Thanks for the information jbluey
but what is the procedure of OGM file> avi?
is it the same step as RMBV?

[jbluey]

same step as MKV. be xur u choose japanese dub for audio and english for subtitle.. ^^>

[avich]

What about dual audio files? Do I just convert it like I normally would?

You just have to make sure you select the right audio, which is most likely japanese.

[alrius2000]

Just wondering why some of the videos (new animes) are not in 512x384 resize format???

:emhh06::emhh06::emhh06:

[mattduy]

How do you resize a video that's already in mp4. I did what you guys said and tried to reconvert it with bencos but it gives me a error message when it gets to audio encoding.
Is there a different way to resize it?

[avich]

@mattduy - you got yourself an annoying problem. You have to double convert it using super converter and converting it using a wma2 audio configuration to solve that. I will try to make a guide for it. The mp4 file is most likely not streamable.

@alrius - what do you mean? The height doesn't have to be 384, it can be anything as long as it matches the ratio of 512 video width.

[mattduy]

Ok. I'll just wait until then. and it shouldn't be stream able since it's not the right dimensions.

Edit: Actually, I could just go direct download each of them but it would take a while to get them all.

[xiety]

>.> hmmm i manage to open subtitle in mkv with a decoder program but i dont know how to put it when you convert

[Bindu1000]

>.> hmmm i manage to open subtitle in mkv with a decoder program but i dont know how to put it when you convert

I am not the best person to give advise - but are your saying you have an anime with separate external subtitles? In which case you you need to convert with Total Video Converter. It lets you pick the external sub when converting to AVI. Thereafter you can convert in bencos


Ok. I'll just wait until then. and it shouldn't be stream able since it's not the right dimensions.

Edit: Actually, I could just go direct download each of them but it would take a while to get them all.

Again - not the best person to give advise, but if you have an mp4 which is not streamable, then you have to use Super converter or Total video converter or even Alltoavi - convert it back to avi and then back to mp4 with bencos. A lot of the direct downloads have to be done this way. Thats why altho torrents take longer to download, they are better.

I will ask Chiva to list the programme we use to check if a mp4 is streamable as well in case anyone needs it.

[xiety]

i mean the subtitle is within the mkv file, i have TVC but you need the subtitle file to insert it

[MyNameIsMat]

so after we use AlltoAvi, Bencos the file, we pm the link to you after we upload it to megavideo right, does it have to be megavideo because every time I open Mega Manager, it freezes lolz

[mattduy]

@mattduy - you got yourself an annoying problem. You have to double convert it using super converter and converting it using a wma2 audio configuration to solve that. I will try to make a guide for it. The mp4 file is most likely not streamable.

@alrius - what do you mean? The height doesn't have to be 384, it can be anything as long as it matches the ratio of 512 video width.


Is that guide every going to be made? Just wondering.

[Bindu1000]

MyNameIsMat : So sorry no one replied you. No it doesnt have to be MU. We just prefer it as we have a premium account and therefore transferring to our host happens on super speeds. We also back up every video in our MU account, so again MU is the preferred choice. However if its a problem - pls upload in whatever file storage that is convenient to you

Mattduy : Chivs has been having exams last week and this week, and is on a special scholarship program on the weekends (yeah both our Admins are genius's) and will be back online from next week. In any event, will give him a gentle reminder :1:

[alrius2000]

@alrius[/B] - what do you mean? The height doesn't have to be 384, it can be anything as long as it matches the ratio of 512 video width.
[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

awww.
I should have known this before uploading 100eps hahaha :emhh24:
so if i would like to upload an anime that would look like (Naruto Movie Bond or Alfro Samurai Ressurection)
what is the exact ratio for that???

I think I'am one of those uploaders who followed the uploading instructions on converting 'by the book' as they say. :emhh15:

[avich]

It depends on how alltoavi will adjust the dimension when the width is set to 512.

Example. Arigatou Giniro No Kami No Agito.mkv
when added in AlltoAvi, we can its dimension is 720x480
http://imgur.com/CFnSjl.jpg (http://imgur.com/CFnSj.jpg)

if we change the width to 512, the height will automatically adjust and you use that value when converting Arigatou Giniro No Kami No Agito in bencos.
http://imgur.com/fjc6Ol.jpg (http://imgur.com/fjc6O.jpg)

[Romdeau]

Oh, thats cool. I wanna try upload some series someday D:

[mbamg]

um instead of benco can I use this program called Xvid4PSP? It seems to do everything Benco does and more, such as directly converting MKV files to MP4 AVC.

Oh, and what kind of files do DVD's use? I have all Excel Saga episodes and I want to convert them.

Found Hunter X Hunter OVA episodes, but they're all VOB on a DVD. How do I extract the subtitles?

I tried running Bencos, but an error window popped up saying "C:\Program Files\Bencos\bencos.exe
A referral was returned from the server."

[xiety]

2nd - Extract subs

Open OGM Cleaver and aclick on 'Open OGM/MKV files to process' button. Select the MKV or OGM file. On the right panel, uncheck everything except the subtitle that you are going to use for encoding.

Click on 'Extract tracts' button. (You can add multiple files as long as they have similar tracks structure.)

You will know when it is done when the processing section (left panel) is empty

The .srt or .ass (subtitle files that are extracted from the video) is on the same directory as the mkv/ogm file


Hmm... Will this work in a MKV that has subtitle built-in.... i have CCP software i can enable and disable the subtitle. i want to convert an MKV to AVI with subtitle <--- (lol name of the software ) coz i tested when i convert MKV to AVI there is no sub with it
.....nobody answered my question for many days,

[mbamg]

Do you mean hardsubs or softsubs? If it's hardsubs, you don't need to do anything. If it's soft subs, i suggest you use MKVextract GUI to extract the subtitles, then add the subtitle file to the file.

[jbluey]

um instead of benco can I use this program called Xvid4PSP? It seems to do everything Benco does and more, such as directly converting MKV files to MP4 AVC.

Oh, and what kind of files do DVD's use? I have all Excel Saga episodes and I want to convert them.

Xvid4PSP... i dont know if its streamable but you can try converting a clip or any small length anime vids[like web animes] and send it to me.....coz have tried 15 MP4 converters and only found 2 which is streamable.. that software is Bencos & RealAnime6..


Found Hunter X Hunter OVA episodes, but they're all VOB on a DVD. How do I extract the subtitles?

i havent tried extracting sub from VOB/DVD.. but try using "mkvmerge GUI". i muxed the videos to mkv including the subtitles..


I tried running Bencos, but an error window popped up saying "C:\Program Files\Bencos\bencos.exe
A referral was returned from the server."

have you tried running it as Administrator?? if the problem still occur try this converter instead... RealAnime6 (http://download.softpedia.com/dl/40aa193e54135749d8743984ea2eea6c/4ab93c43/100027360/software/multimedia/video/encoder/REALANIME6_20070925.exe)

[mbamg]

I managed to extract the subs from the Hunter X Hunter OVA DVDs and I've already converted 4 episodes to AVI using XviD4PSP. I guess I'll use RealAnime6 for MP4 because Bencos doesn't work even when I run it as an Administrator program.

Edit: RealAnime works thanks a lot!

Edit: RealAnime sees my videos but won't queue them for conversion. In fact, it won't queue ANY of them.

[jbluey]

hmmm.. i tried converting using RA6 under win7 and its working fine..
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/3784/testht.jpg (http://img193.imageshack.us/i/testhv.jpg/)






have you tried placing the videos on root directory? i mean "C:\"

[mbamg]

They're all under C:\ because my laptop only has two partitions, C and D, which is used for recovery.

[jbluey]

umm i mean.. "c:\video.avi"

and try renaming your video.. into something simple with no special characters..

A Windows 7 update has just been released for non-compatible programs... I guess I'll try to see if Bencos works after I install the update.

I'm uploading the AVI files to MegaUpload. I'll give you the link when it's done.

Edit: I changed the names of the files and RealAnime still doesn't recognize them. Bencos still doesn't work so I'm just uploading the AVI files.

Done episode 1. Here's the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=EZER9M9A
Done episode 2. Here's the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ES8DWYN4
Done episode 3. Here's the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6OI2FX4W
Done episode 4. Here's the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3GWMTHYX
Done episode 5. Here's the link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=77T7JJZQ

For the avi files, we would add this on omoukajuu.info and will use it in the future when somebody wants to convert and upload this in OS. Thank you for the uploads and its a shame that you couldn't convert.

[mbamg]

Since I have no idea where omoukajuu.info is, i'll just post the rest of the links here:

Episode 6 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6WY1RNHX
Episode 7 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KKZAG5TT

[Tippeddoor]

omoukajuu.info is OS's sister site, its where you can download anime or anime music :)

[jbluey]

Since I have no idea where omoukajuu.info is, i'll just post the rest of the links here:

Episode 6 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6WY1RNHX
Episode 7 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KKZAG5TT

mbamg.. thx for the links..
regarding the bencos problem.. i tried researching about the error "A Referral Was Returned From The Server". and i found out the problem should be on your UAC(User Account Control). have you tried disabling your UAC?

[mbamg]

Thanks a lot, I'll try that after I finish converting the last episode.

[solidoxygen]

I'm getting this message whenever I try to convert with BENCOS. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

[IrishMonkee]

avich, the links for AviSynth and Aegisub are mixed up for the mkv/ogm guide 2.

1) AviSynth 2.5 links to http://www.aegisub.net/
2) Aegisub links to http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E1OMOT2R

[avich]

@IrishMonkee
fixed, thanks for pointing it out

If you want to extract the subs, you can refer on the Method #3 on the guide.

[kitymeow]

Is there a program similar to Bencos that can be used for Vista? I would like to upload.

How about minicoder ?

[avich]

You can use bencos in vista, just disable UAC first.

[kitymeow]

Thanks, it worked!

[katastic05]

i already converted some mkv files, but all their subtitles are off >.<..what do i do?

[avich]

How off are they? a few seconds?

[katastic05]

5 seconds for some episodes and 10-15 for others.

[AngelPrincess]

Its all free right ????
I don't have money...still student

[m3llowh3ad]

Hey i did everything right but i can't open Bencos!!

lol, turning off UAC can solve every DAMN problem imo.. converting to avi now.

man.. i converted it to mp4 using BENCOS . so issit alright if the video can't be played using widows media player?

[jbluey]

hmm let see.. do u have the video codecs installed on your PC?
how about trying to play it on VLC Player. (http://www.videolan.org/mirror-geo.php?file=vlc/1.0.3/win32/vlc-1.0.3-win32.exe)

it didnt say any error on Bencos ryt? when your converting it?
if no error then i think its alright. :)

[m3llowh3ad]

i managed to complete converting it using bencos only.. well it does works but subs/video are not in sync. :(

[jbluey]

let see.. do us still have the avi version[converted from alltoavi] of it? .. is it sync'd?

[m3llowh3ad]

What about that MKVmerge thing or that OGMcleaver?

[m3llowh3ad]

i don't have it anymore, i've converted it to mp4 via bencos.. i'm working on it now, converting the orginal mkv to avi. it takes time :((
In fact, i have 2 episodes but 3 videos.. 1 of the videos have 2 eng subs appearing but one of the eng subs is out of sync whereas the other is perfect. :( did not know why this has happened. First time doing this ..

[jbluey]

sry i havent tried using mkvmerge or ogmcleaver yet

when i convert mkv to avi i dont include the subtitle [via alltoavi]..
i only hardsub them when converting to mp4..

But i do this one.

Method#2 How to convert MKV/OGM with the best quality


Extra software needed.
1) AviSynth 2.5 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=E1OMOT2R)
2) Aegisub (http://www.aegisub.net/)
3) OGM Cleaver (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/OGMcleaver-Download-80088.html)
4) MKV Toolnix (http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/MKVToolnix-Download-43981.html)

1st - Software preparations

Quote:
Install the following softwares. For OGM Cleaver, you have to extract the contents on the desired directory you want to put it.

Open OGM Cleaver and click on 'Find MKVToolnix', it would probably find the folder itself but if it didn't, locate the MKVToolnix directory and click Okay.
2nd - Extract subs

Quote:
Open OGM Cleaver and aclick on 'Open OGM/MKV files to process' button. Select the MKV or OGM file. On the right panel, uncheck everything except the subtitle that you are going to use for encoding.

Click on 'Extract tracts' button. (You can add multiple files as long as they have similar tracks structure.)

You will know when it is done when the processing section (left panel) is empty

The .srt or .ass (subtitle files that are extracted from the video) is on the same directory as the mkv/ogm file
3rd - Convert video to avi using alltoavi

Quote:
Convert video to avi without subtitles 1200 bitrate for video and 128 bitrate for sound. Do not resize. Also make sure you chose the right audio.(If you don't know how to use alltoavi, please refer to the top tutorial)

4th - Prepare script Quote:
Open notepad and paste this code

Quote:
LoadPlugin("")
AVISource("")
TextSub("")
In LoadPlugin, type the location of 'vsfilter.dll' (a component of aegisub) inside the quotes. ex.(LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\Aegisub\csri\vsfilter.dll")) If you have installed aegisub by default then the directory would be "C:\Program Files\Aegisub\csri\vsfilter.dll"
In AVISource, type the location of the avi you have recently converted using alltoavi inside the quotes.
In TextSub, type the location of the extracted subtitle (.srt or .ass) of the video inside the quotes.

Save the file as '<avi video name>.avs' and save it on the same directory as the avi file.
ex.
avi file is "School_Rumble_01.avi", so the script file would be, 'School_Rumble_01.avs'
5th - Convert to mp4 using bencos

Quote:
Resize the video to a 512px width. Please refer to alltoavi of the proper ratio.

Video Bitrate should 290 (this is standard to all videos regardless if it is action or not)

Audio bitrate is 48

Instead of adding the avi file to convert, add the avs file instead

Choose the directory you want to save the file

Start converting

[m3llowh3ad]

if i play the mkv file on flv , (which i just downloaded a few moments ago in which the link u gave me) everything is normal. or shld i say perfect. the problem is it's too big .

isn't what u quote is ogmcleaver ?? i can watch them on Aegissub and Flvplayer perfectly . so i think it went wrong somewhr during conversions :(

Now i know it's a very hard work. . <3 to all uploaders !

[jbluey]

OGMcleaver is one of the subtitle extractor..
but i use aegissub to extract subtitle from MKV files..

hmmm.. its original file is in mkv right?

[m3llowh3ad]

yeap the original is in mkv,and i also have the subtitles extracts..i used aegis too.

[m3llowh3ad]

Okay! Now, i have the Avi version that has been converted using the AlltoAvi .. and yeah, it's out of sync..

Do i have to follow the steps in the 1st page? meaning like making the subs and audio to 0 ?

[jbluey]

sorry for the late reply.. i was in a middle of something.. XD

hmm let see.. did alltoavi ask something like this
http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5547/alltoavi.jpg (http://img46.imageshack.us/i/alltoavi.jpg/)

did you click yes? or no?

[m3llowh3ad]

i clicked yes.

[jbluey]

okie ... how about on the "No Skip Option Window"?

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/5728/alltoavi2.jpg (http://img46.imageshack.us/i/alltoavi2.jpg/)

did u click the nearest suggested FPS?

[m3llowh3ad]

do u mean the 1st box?? :: 24000/1001

[jbluey]

that depends on ur video file..

but on the pic i posted..
it says : 23.98
so i have to check on the 1st box which is:: 24000/1001

[m3llowh3ad]

yeah.. mine's the same too. 23.98 , it is.

[jbluey]

hmm ... try not hardsubbing it on alltoavi..

and hardsubbing it on bencos..
you can follow method 2..

[m3llowh3ad]

hmm..i'll try tmr. I'm kinda tired, i tried for 3hrs straight ! and then finnaly disable UAC and everything works .
Now, it's Just the out of sync prob.I'll cure my anime fever for now!

[ZenNaari]

I have a software, "Replay Media Catcher" that automatically downloads all the videos I watch on streaming... It comes in with a converter that can convert videos into any kind of file... but since you said it needs .mp4 I have a question...

I can convert videos into "High Quality .mp4" "Mid Quality .mp4" and "Low quality .mp4" Would that work? I'm going to try to send "Kaiketsu Zorori episode 1" to you guys and I'll label it HQ, MQ or LQ... Is that alright?

[m3llowh3ad]

I have a software, "Replay Media Catcher" that automatically downloads all the videos I watch on streaming..

but isn't it only 75% long? unless you buy it then it'll be 100% long right?

[ZenNaari]

There was an error in Download... So even if I'm in Demo mode... I can download the whole 100%... I thank slow internet sometimes... it even works on yahoo games sometimes.

[kaifox]

ahmm in the methods to use either of the two can be use right? but it all needs an avi.. why is it that my versions are not the same but i only clicked the link that chiva gave..

[kaifox]

guys mp3 and mp4 format is the same?

[jbluey]

nop.. mp3 is a audio file.. and mp4 is video+audio

* Updated mencoder to Sherpya-SVN-r30075
* Updated MediaInfo to 1.7.26 (win32)
* Now compatible with Vista and Windows 7

[avich]

Updated Bencos. Thanks irishmonkey

[Kazeno Kazuha]

Let Me Bookmark This....Thnx

[eliemusica]

woo...looks complicated~__~''..well, let me try this..wish me luck*bows down*

[xiety]

at first its complicated
when the video is already .avi format then go straight to Bencos
then upload it
^^ its easy when you continue it

[reneil26]

how long it take to upload the video?? because i already upload the video to megaupload and send the url video link to avich... just like the instruction say..

[ZenNaari]

Hey, How do you use bencos... It's like, only a .7z file I I don't have a program to open it with...

[Bloop]

Is the Uploader (I mean the yellow status) is only temporary if yes....what should I do to make it permanent????

[KipiChii]

Is the Uploader (I mean the yellow status) is only temporary if yes....what should I do to make it permanent????

Upload 100 videos, OR 1 video a month i guess

[KipiChii]

Hey, How do you use bencos... It's like, only a .7z file I I don't have a program to open it with...

Download 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/download.html)
It's kinda like winrar, only a bit different

[avich]

Is the Uploader (I mean the yellow status) is only temporary if yes....what should I do to make it permanent????

To maintain the status, you need to at least upload 1 video a month but if you reach 100 total videos uploaded, the status will be permanent.

If the uploader failed to meet those, they will be changed into Inactive Uploader status.

[Bloop]

I had converted a rmvb video to AlltoAVI now I'm converting the vid to BENCOS

Maybe the video has an error
Try find another video coz sometimes it depends on the encoding of other user

OoOoOoOoOoOoooo! I hope uploading Jdrama movie based on anime/game is alright or I just wasted 4 hours =[. Anyhows, I hardsubbed it myself and uploading right now (Bencos is time consuming) Will PM Avich-dono when this is all completed. I wanna be yellow too!

[xiety]

nope your not wasting time its just time consuming for one day, i uploaded initial-d live, death note live, prince of tennis live, nana 1 & 2 live

[jfmarasigan1]

anyone got a converter for flv to avi or mpeg4?

the converter i have removes the video (audio remains) after converting.. DX

[jbluey]

yss you can .. you just need to place them in 1 folder.. and the eps should be in the same format.

i will reneil26........
and thank you too...........:D

[ziram210]

what if its an flv file? @_@

[KipiChii]

To get a flv video into stream-able video, you have to convert it with super converter to AVI first, then use bencos to get it to mp4, but i wouldn't recommend downloading flv formats, since they have really bad quality

[ciaossu]

Just wanna ask about the 2nd method, about using the OGMcleaver... Does anyone know when the extraction is finished?? Because there is no status bar or something that tells if its complete... I'm really confused T_T

[Reaper Pure]

I'm trying to convert an .mkv file, but OGM Cleaver won't recognize it as an .mkv file. Does anyone know why this might be?

[kellybang]

whew gonna try this @.@

[tuyenbchu]

this is a pain in my woooot.. haha @_@ thank you for all your hard work! shei shei (thank you) keep it up guys!! :)

[utauchan]

can i upload The Daughter of Twenty Faces? i think its not here so might as well add it to the OS library...

[jhai0603]

Hmm.
I'm trying to upload an awesome one, but AlltoAVI won't let me.
It says "mencoder.exe has stopped working" about 6 seconds into the conversion phase.
Anybody know why?
..followed every step there is.


EDIT: Problem was with the vid ._. Replaced it and it went a-ok! :D

[kyorokune]

Ok ok thank you admin.. it gonna be a cost.. i will help here to uploads..

[bloodyrein]

okay I'm having issues with the mencoder.exe

every video I try to convert gets the same problem T.T

[xiety]

okay I'm having issues with the mencoder.exe

every video I try to convert gets the same problem T.T

possible problem is the resolution ratio aspect
sometimes the video resolution is in 1280 x 720 > 704 x 400 ( 392 )

[bloodyrein]

possible problem is the resolution ratio aspect
sometimes the video resolution is in 1280 x 720 > 704 x 400 ( 392 )

so I need to change the resolution to 704 x 400 before converting?

[xiety]

so I need to change the resolution to 704 x 400 before converting?

are you converting mkv or rmvb to avi ?

[bloodyrein]

are you converting mkv or rmvb to avi ?

mkv to avi

[xiety]

are you using alltoavi ?

try lowering the video resolution it might work

[bloodyrein]

Is there a fix for alltoavi's menconder.exe??

since any mkv I file I try to convert it always closes down whatever resolution I change it T.T

[pikel]

Is there a fix for alltoavi's menconder.exe??

I've been having the same issue for months, that's why I haven't been able to fix a lot of videos I've wanted to personally fix. I had given up until just recently, I've been trying to get it to work again... without success, lol.

I personally use pay to use products to reconvert anime that is giving me a hard time, unless your willing to pay for things, I don't know what to tell you :/

[044044440]

just try using other converter

program needed
mkvextract
total video converter

1. extract the sub in the mkv file using mkvextract
2. open the video in tvc use avi format using "xvid avi codec" (using other codec will give you an error in converting in bencos in the end)
3. click filters and open subtitle use the .srt file extracted from mkvextract
for best result click setting and change the following
AudioPage
change audio coded to mp3
change the sampling rate to 44100 (click customs)
change bitrate to 128 kbits/sec (click customs)

VideoPage
video codec = xvid
bitrate and framerate keep it original

4. click convert
5. finish (this setting will also allow you to play the video in your dvd player)

note: dont change the video size keep it original (changing the V.size can mess up subtitle position in the video) <--- this part is only in tvc part....

6. then convert the .avi file in bencos = .mp4

"disclaimer: this info is came from two uploader in OS"
reneil26 so if you have question regarding here ask them...

this ones a real life saver you have deepest gratitude :D

[044044440]

don't thank me coz' that info came from other uploader here on OS...
i just share it to all of you of what they had told me....

[bloodyrein]

well at least I got the right program now since there are a lot of Total Video Converters out there made by different people so I didn't know what to choose and I don't remember seeing those when I checked the thread or I probably just skipped the page accidentally well anyways thanks for posting it again :D

[IrishMonkee]

I've been having tons of luck converting MKV/OGM/MP4 to MP4 by just using Bencos. The thing is you first need to open the MKV/OGM file in mkvmerge GUI and verify or set the subtitle track to "Default track flag = yes". Remux the file if you had to change the setting then load the file into Bencos. Once in Bencos after you change all the settings to OS standards, just make sure to click the Slow audio extraction and 98% of the time all files will be encoded w/o issue.

trying out this trick irish my man hope it does its job right XD

[IrishMonkee]

trying out this trick irish my man hope it does its job right XD

I hope it does work for you. Only works when you ues Bencos v2010-1-30. Here are the steps I use:

1. file type
a. If file is .avi or .mp4 (generally mp4 files have subs hard-coded already) move to step 3.
b. If file is .mkv or .ogm go to step 2.

2. Open mkvmerge GUI program, load video and verify that English subtitle and Japanese audio have their default track flag = yes
a. If they are, move on to step 3
b. If they are set to default or no, set default track flag = yes and then re-mux the video and add v2 in file name or save to new folder.
*By default the mkvmerge GUI program likes to save all files to .mkv, just make sure to change the file extension back to the original extension.http://otaku-streamers.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=12635http://otaku-streamers.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=12634

3. Load file into Bencos and change settings/filters to OS standard requirements

4. If file = .mkv, .ogm, or .mp4 select Slow Audio Extraction, not needed w/avi but might solve audio encoding error if encounteredhttp://otaku-streamers.com/community/attachment.php?attachmentid=12637

5. Set output folder location

6. Double check settings

7. Start encoding and minimize to system tray. I usually check progress about every 5-20 min for errors or completion.

I use AlltoAVI if I run into any errors I can't fix using this process.

*Videos that have .ass subtitles will undoubtedly encoded in a different font type and size than the original. Should be fine if the subs are .srt. So use at your own risk.

[bloodyrein]

it works good but the problem is if the subs are a bit long they tend to cover almost half of the screen but all in all thats a nice find :D

Yeah that's about the only problem that I've encountered is that videos with .ass/.ssa style subtitles will become a bit bigger and change as Bencos does not keep the advance styling. I believe the person developing Bencos/RealAnime is adding a feature to handle soft-subs in the next version of the programs (Bencos V2 which is being re-coded and RealAnime7. http://soft.detritus.qc.ca/). Hopefully it will be able to hardcode the .ass/.ssa style subs into the output video.

so when will this Bencos V2 will be out? :D

[IrishMonkee]

That I don't know. The developer has a thread on the doom9 forum where he posts updates on his progress and people also post issues they have there as well. http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=119754

[Bindu1000]

I have another method I use for the mencoder issue on Alltoavi ... I just use Super Converter to convert from MKV to AVI. Only problem is its a heavy programme and unless you have a nice new super processor, it slows your pc down so its best done while you sleep. Super also is good for the issue of out of sync audio.

[IrishMonkee]

I like using Super Converter to find out all the specifics of the file, it gives you a nice detailed report. Your so right in that it is a very cpu heavy program. I will usually set the priority level to low in task manager so that it doesn't stop me from using my pc. But I do like all the options you can chose from in it.

[bloodyrein]

Yeah Super converter is also useful but sometimes when I convert using that the output would have no subs so its kinda pretty risky in some sorts lol

[IrishMonkee]

I believe the best way to pretty much guarantee that subs will be encoded with the video is to use mkvmerge and verify that the subs default track flag is set to yes and not default or no. Since default really only works when your playing the video like in MPC.

[Viletomb2010]

Thanks for posting this thread. I hope i have a new pc sooner or later because i have an extremely low processor.

[terbx04]

dont understand..(sorry for having very low iq..)im not good at it but im still trying..

[icsenen002]

wow it seem complex and hard for a normal guy like me xDDDD but i want to upload T_T

[LordKaname]

sir can I ask questions? where can I download those anime Ep`s? can you pm me if it is private? Coz I Want to be an uploader :))

[LordKaname]

can I ask questions again what video will I`m gonna Pm? sample video or direct anime video?

[Kobowo]

LordKaname you're gonna pm the video you have converted in Bencos as for links I guess I can share some....I'll pm you :D

[loserboizz]

hmmm i think im gonna try this one :)

[TheRedOne]

I could use this lesson in the near future. I wanted to be an uploader. Hehe.

[junbillgahi]

Thanks for the info Sir Avich...
Ill think of uploading animes... this is helpful......

[awnaman123]

the method avich-sama showed to us is not that complicated anyway ... (trust me) /smile

I guess it's u minna who are making things complicated .... :O

try and try until u succeed ... *cheering u up*

follow the first method ... it's just easy to follow ...

[TheRedOne]

You're right awnaman123

[dab117]

after my final year exams i will search for un-uploaded animes to contribute for OS for hosting these great animes. i have basic converting skills, and i can pretty much follow avich's guide

[IrishMonkee]

@ alfonze & dab - Just look at the request thread for shows to upload. A lot of those haven't been picked up by anyone, so if you are wanting to get your feet wet, that would be the way to start.

[inubazh11]

Im having an audio error from Bencos.

[Gilagamesh]

CAN I UPLOAD EVEN THOUGH I HAVE a bad connection ^_^

[menisa06]

i hope i can upload....someday . i'm busy with in many things includng watching anime and i think it takes a long time (about 4 to 5 hours) to upload 1 episode.

[Kobowo]

@menisa on the contrary...its downloading that would take long...if you were to upload from megaupload its 200kbps....would probably take you 30mins for the actual uploading......if you also include conversions it would take around 2-4 hours though....but you can do batch conversions anyway XD

[zevlag21]

i have a question do i need to dl the 720p version when i am going to upload here?

[Kobowo]

not really...I have uploaded vids with smaller resolutions than 512 XD

^-----correction: *have uploaded vids that were less than 512 but converted to 512

[Bindu1000]

not really...I have uploaded vids with smaller resolutions thatn 512 XD

Thats not right Kobowa. We have a very strict quality requirement that all vids must be 512. Pls pm me with the list of animes you have with lesser resolution so they can be replaced

PLS REMEMBER NO VIDS LESS THAN 512 RESOLUTION FOR OS

[Kobowo]

very sorry for the misunderstanding I meant....that I've used vids that have lower resolutions but they are ploaded as 512 >.<

[IrishMonkee]

@inubazh11 - We won't be able to help you if you don't give more detail other than an audio error in bencos. That's about as helpful as telling an auto mechanic that your car is making a noise.

@Gilagamesh - you can upload even with a bad connection. You'll just have to use megamanager to upload if your connection drops so that it can pick up where it left off. If you upload via the web, if your connection drops, you'll have to start the upload all over again.

@menisa06 - I can usually download, encode, and upload 1 episode in under 2 hours. There are a lot of variables that come into play like: how big is the video file, where is it being downloaded from (i.e. bittorrent, direct download, IRC, etc...), how fast is the Internet connection download/upload speed, how fast is the computer (i.e. CPU [single, dual, quad, hex core], RAM, harddrive read/write, etc...), as well as if you'll be using the computer while the video is encoding.

But like Kobowo mentioned, you can do batch encoding as well as batch uploading. Also depending on where you download from, you can download multiple videos at a time.

@zevlag21 - Basically you can think of it like this, what you put in is going to effect what you get out. If you use a good to high quality video source (1080/720/480 BR/HD-DVD/DVD/HDTV etc...), the re-encoded video will come out with fairly good-high quality. If you use a SD quality (like a tv rip) or a crappy source (like a 90mb .rmvd file), the re-encoded video will come out with decent to bad quality.

You have to remember that the videos that you are downloading have already been encoded once (or twice) and have lost some quality from the original. So re-encoding the already once (or twice) encoded video will lose more quality especially when you are lowering the bit rate and file size. Now if you're going to delete the video once your done encoding, I'd say get the higher quality videos. If your going to keep the videos, I'd suggest archiving them to DVD's once your done encoding to free up space or just download SD quality videos.

[zevlag21]

please delete this one

[zevlag21]

question again hehehe when i was using OGM Cleaver it always say the file is not an MKV but i am sure it is an MKV how do i fix this?

[IrishMonkee]

If the file is MKV, you should download MKVcleaver. Its based on the same idea as OGMcleaver. I believe you'll need to download MKVtoolnix as well.

You do know that you can delete your own post in a thread without having to edit it to "please delete this one" and have mod do it for you. You just need to click edit post, click the option for delete message, enter a reason (example would be double post, etc...), then click the delete post button.

[rakusa]

i'll try to upload, when the time comes :D

thanks for the info avich!!

[flamezaber]

okay, I have did everything succesfully...
Ihave sent you and J-Bluey the links...
Wait, was I only supposed to send one? :omg:

Thanks alot.. useful..

In Benco I can't seem to see the Stereo box to check in the audio section. Is this okay or is there something wrong? ><

--- Edit ---

Still have the existing problem with no Stereo box to check and when I started it, there seemed to be an error I received.
When it starts running video encoding it gives error #1.

I tried reading the entire thread for something but I don't think this question was answered. Sorry if I skipped over the answer. There's so many colors @_@

[avich]

Try using super converter to convert the video to avi rather than using alltoavi

The stereo check box in Bencos was removed a while ago. The below screen shot is from the most recent release of Bencos version 2010-01-30.

The screen shot here, which is probably what your looking at, is from Bencos version 2007-05-07

Also what are you trying to encode, the file extension, what does the log file say? If ya could provide more specifics.

[rinoa]

Thanks for trying to help IrishMonkee. I reinstalled Benco again and tried to convert the new season of Hakuouki which was in avi format. I don't know what happened earlier that gave me an error but the next time I come upon it I'll post the log file and hopefully be able to find a solution to those who might have the same problems in the future.

Hmm.. I wanna TRY uploading.. so, how can I reserve for a specific title~!??i

You can give a title to an uploader or a moderator and he/she will check if the title has been already reserved by someone. The majority of the anime/drama on the request list has not been taken yet so you can take a look at the list to help you in choosing what to upload.

[xuei0000]

^ Thank you very much~!! So.. to whom shall I reserve the title~??

[CloverLeaf]

^ Thank you very much~!! So.. to whom shall I reserve the title~??

Give me a title and I'll check if it's already taken. If it's not, convert and upload a single episode on the anime and PM it to an admin and the video will be checked and verified if it has been correctly converted. The title will be now reserved under your name.

[makavilli]

i'd like to try uploading as well if someone could reserve a title for me.

[akroma088]

i see il try it someday

about the "audio bitrate: 48(checkstereo)" there is no "stereo" tick box like in the screenshot.

I've just downloaded bencos and tested it.
But there is no "stero" tick box that can be checked.

Gonna need more info. You lost me at "n' wait mkv convert to avi, something popups going out like my mencoder.exe is problem". What are you using to encode the mkv to avi? what are the settings your using?... The more info you can provide, the better we can help you. Don't be afraid to post screen shots or describe with detail the process your using when getting the error.

I think I got the same weird look my mechanic gets when I take my car in and tell him its making a weird noise. lol

But there is an option in my VLC player that can make it dubbed Japanese and subbed in English. How can I make it permanently dubbed Japanese and subbed English when I upload it?

if your video is in mkv format you can directly convert it in bencos...the updated version of bencos allows you to choose what language the audio would be when encoded and the same goes for subs...I haven't tried it with dual audio yet but I've tried it with subs I think....

oh and bencos conversion depends on the pc specs...I have a friend whose laptop takes about 3 or more hours for a 20 min ep to be converted...my pc takes 45minutes to convert a 24 min ep and roughly 2 hours for a movie with 1 and a half hours

Just Follow Up your upload again, by PM the Admins

[Shiki 86]

I keep getting a message saying "error #1" when the video is encoding. I've tried converting it into an MP4 in a different program and using Bencos to adjust the framerate and size to what the admins want, but I have yet to get past error #1 or whatever. Does anyone know an alternate program to Bencos to do this? Avich's instructions want us to use Bencos anyway, and I can't get the program to work.

Hey! I need urgent help! I CANT CONVERT ANYTHING USING OGMCLEAVER NOR ALLTOAVI.

1. When I use OGMCleaver, it gives me this file is not a ogm/mkv file which is false WTF :@

2. When I use AllToAvi, it says Mencoder has encountered a problem and needs to be closed urgently. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. WTF IS THIS?!

If I convert 40 eps in Bencos will it takes time to encode the same as encoding 1 ep?

After encoding it to Bencos will be it a streamable file?

[Kobowo]

If I convert 40 eps in Bencos will it takes time to encode the same as encoding 1 ep?

If you encode 40 eps in bencos then that would take as long as 40 times of the time it takes you to encode 1 vid.

For me it takes 30 minutes to encode one episode. So 40 eps would take20 hours....and yes it will be a streamable file once it has been converted in bencos

[minakoroland]

Waahh! It takes a lot of time. But, does bencos eat up much CPU like when im using Xilisoft for example? Like, does bencos run on background like an antivirus? or can't i use xilisoft instead using the advanced settings of a streamable vid?
