As far as I know it has a CLI. If you’re using standardised file names I assume a script would be possible.
Also your posted replies come across as aggressive / rhetorical / sarcastic. Unclear why you’d intend to do that. I apologies if I offended. My post was to provide a workaround you/others may not have been aware of.
Mkvtoolnix is great (I use it all the time) but you might not always want to output to MKV. For situations where you want something else (MP4, AVI, VOB, MOV etc.), I find MediaCoder to be a good option.
I agree with you regarding the lack of proper audio support. I have mentioned it myself back in 2020 but at this point I think they are more worried with every other aspect of video optimization (which has come a very very long way esp. in 2021) and functionality. I do believe proper audio support is forthcoming I just wish they would give a timeline. If I missed it, my bad Devs been afk.
Yeah, I always use Virtualdub2 for deshaking, (Avi w/Huff lossless) VEAI for upscaling (Mp4 0/lossless) and Chronos for clips that I don’t mind not having sound to like my turntable animations, but for vids with sound, I use Flowframes (Avi Huff/Lossless) though I have noticed that they have artifacts, less than the old optical flow method but more than Chronos!
I then run all completed vids into my storage format (Q10 MP4 or MOV both w/gop 1:1) using either Avidemux or SVP4 PRO… But I may just cut out FlowFrames for my frame-rate/sound adjustments save for when I want to de-duplicate a video from those crappy 25x25/30x30 50/60fps vids!
Just downloaded mediacoder, I haven’t seen or heard of that prog in a long time, well, ever since we/they used to use the term “prog/proggies” instead of “app” like they do now!
I’m just anxious to try out a brand spanking new beta!
I can’t find it in any official Topaz changelogs, but Dione-DV/TV no longer seem to suffer from the ghosting bug. I’m guessing the models were silently updated to no fanfare. There was also a bug in Proteus where if I set the AA/Dehalo slider all the way to the AA side, it would generate pulsing artefacts. That bug has also silently been fixed in the past couple of weeks.
I find that flickering depends on the model used. For example Dione and Gaia-HQ tend to flicker more than other models. Dione, due to deinterlacing artifacts and Gaia-HQ, due to certain type of grain present in the source video.
I have noticed the ETA times are very wrong, they get close to correct only when the process is mostly done. Perhaps there can be a way for the program to keep track (locally) of typical time to process X frames at Y resolution given the current PC and the model used - then extrapolate time to complete for the video and even for the batch. Giving more accurate ETAs the more Topaz is used?
If we upgrade or change something on our PC then we can wipe this metadata so the estimates are re-learned.
I had an issue where the Video Enchance AI 2.4.0 kept crashing constantly within few seconds or minutes. I tried pretty much everything I can think of until I finally found the culprit, which was RivaTuner that comes with MSI Afterburner. Uninstall RivaTuner and it works like a charm. I´m using the new RTX 3060 TI with the newest 472.12 studio drivers.
I’ve got a feeling that we won’t see any major updates before Black Friday. Why? It’s not a good business. Many of the VEAI users bought the software on Black Friday sale, and why not save the best new features after that for another subscription period.
