RME - Rebuilder's Matrix Editor...for testing parts of a movie

[UncasMS]

for those who want to do some testing with different filters/parameters or maybe different encoders RME/Rebuilder's Matrix Editor might come handy

using RME you can select a small segment of your title and have it encoded with different matrices or filters or encoders or all of it

thus you dont have to have the entire dvd encoded only to test different filter parameters or encoders

i'm not sure if RME will work when using the freeware version, so find out for yourself



with the matrix editor you dont have to cut out a piece of your movie with tools like dvd shrink - load the dvd into rb as usual and...

1. load the entire dvd into rb



2. use THREE click method (by UNchecking ONE click mode)



... and run PREPARE




3. start matrix editor



4. click *preview/test* in the top right hand corner



this will automatically load the data/settings used in rebuilder
i.e. the dvd title as well as chosen encoder + encoder settings



5. pick an avisynthscript from the left in order to select a segment with which to do your testing




6. top right you will have to tick *filters* in order to get hold of the filter-editing mask




7. type in your filter's parameter and press *apply*, *prepare* and *encode*




8. change your filters and repeat this step if you want to test different filters/settings

thanks for the guide Uncasms and the PM

Is it very difficult to create custom AVS scripts to load into RME? In some of the movies, each AVS is quite long to be used for a sample clip, in the 200mb range. If I could cut it down to a small sample clip of 25-50mb the encode should be much faster.

you could open any given avs with e.g. notepad and find the trim command inside:

trim(4909,8425)

the numbers are the frames to be encoded
in my example frame number 4909 to 8425 will be encoded

thus there are 3516 frames which means some ~140 seconds of the movie

edit that framerange to anything you like


i have never tried to do so, but it should work fine in RME

Worked perfectly uncasms, that cut down the encoding time from about 10mins to <2mins for the samples! Able to test out a bunch more now in the same time frame.

[UncasMS]

Worked perfectly

glad to hear that

yo Rockas, not to make you mad or anything, but I even did everything they said, I even put regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\COMDLG32.ocx on Run in Windows XP, and still it keeps saying the samething to me, I don't know what I am doing wrong

[Rockas]

You just need to put "MSSTDFMt.dll" and "COMDLG32.ocx" on system32 folder then run on "Start" -> "Run":
regsvr32 c:\windows\system32\MSSTDFMt.dll

It must work.... have you tried to restart the computer?

[ElBoricua433]

Well I did that and now it says to me, LoadLibrary (c:\windows\system32\MSSTDFMt.dll) failed. The specified module could not be found
