Hybrid - program for converting video formats (MPEG2, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. H.265 HEVC)

In order not to work all the time from the command line, programmers develop programs with a graphic interface.
To convert the video, a Hybrid program has been developed, which is free for any use.
Website:https://www.selur.de/. The program is launched in Linux / Windows / Mac (NO-ARM).

Hybrid capabilities

* Sound parameters *: volume adjustment, normalization of sound, effect of effects.
Package processing : Convert several files at a time.
Codecs : Support for several codecs.
Team line : Support for the command line for automation.
Converting video and audio files : Hybrid converts video and audio files into a wide range of formats.
Filter management : customizable filters and effects. For example, a 3D noise.
Support for formats : supports almost all popular and unusual formats.
hardware acceleration : Use a graphic processor for faster processing.
Profile management : Create, save and control profiles.
Quality : High quality of output with minimal losses.
Speed : The transformation rate is regulated.
Subtit support **: Add subtitles to the video.
* Tools : includes tools for advanced operations.

  • Пользовательский интерфейс: понятный, интуитивно понятный и современный пользовательский интерфейс.
  • Редактирование видео: Включает в себя расширенные возможности редактирования видео.

The Hybrid program is designed for experienced users. It is not intended to be a tool used by everyone. If you are not familiar with the basics of containers, video formats, etc., the Hybrid program is not for you.

Technical capabilities Hybrid

  • Support for tags for AVI/MKV/MP4/MOV
  • Supporting chapters for MKV/MP4/Blu-Ray
  • Subtit support for mkv/mp4/blu-ray
  • Separate audio, video, filter and combined A/V profiles
  • Building Bitrate Calculator
  • Acceps unprocessed input files VC-1, AVC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP
  • manual and automatic creation and passage of chapters
  • The ability to encode individual headlines/chapter
  • System of processing based on tasks/queues
  • Coding AAC/MP3/AC-3/Vorbis/Opus/Flac/DTS/PCM/EAC-3 using DCAENC/Mencoder/FFMPEG/AFTEN and various AAC coders
  • Supported AAC: QAAC, FDK AAC, FAAC, FHG, Neroaacenc
  • Basic filtering using FFMPEG
  • Supported video output formats: MPEG-4 ASP (XVID), MPEG-4 AVC (X264, QSVENCC, NVENCC, VCEENCC, FFMPEG Nvenc), VP8/VP9 (VPXENC), PRORES (FFMPEG), MPEG-4 HEVC (X265, MPEG-4, KVAZAAR, Divx265, NvenCc, QSVENCC, VCEENCC, FFMPEG Nvenc), FFV1 (FFMPEG), UT Video (FFMPEG), FFVHUFF (FFMPEG), AV-1 (AMENC, RAV1E)
  • supported sound output formats: DTS, AC3, OGG Vorbis, MP3, AAC, FLAC, PCM, OPUS, through
  • Supported containers: MOV/MP4/MKV/M2TS/Webm/AVI, Blu-Ray or AVCHD structure
  • Audio/video -> can be used to connect a video and audio in one file (multiplexing), create marks for video (taging), editing chapters
  • Many options for automation of actions.

Loading from the developer website

https://www.selur.de/downloads

For Linux, the full version of the tools and dependencies should be loaded: "Hybrid Linux64bit (With Base Tools and Most Dependencies)."
The 7Z archive needs to be unpacked to the home folder while maintaining the structure of catalogs. Since the archive has a Hybrid folder, the same folder will also be created in the home directory.

Launch

Just make a double click on the executable Hybrid file.
Hybrid1

The main Hybrid window

Hybrid-Main

In the upper part of the window there are bookmarks for setting (configuration) of the program.
In the lower honor of the window there is a magazine of work and a launch button (right).

Configuration

If ordinary videos (more than 10 minutes), configuration is not required.
In the presence of video clips (chapters), the length is shorter than 10 minutes, you need to set up

On the layer "Config - Input"

Input
and change the limits as follows
1/1
1 /100
1 /100

Source setting, codec video and sound, such as a container.

Hybrid2
After starting. On the first bookmark of the program, we select:

  1. Container mp4 or mkv
  2. Select source file or folder video_ts
  3. We indicate the codec in proocessing (processing):
    * x264 * - For video, select coding in x264
    Paththrough all ** - for sound - without transformation ("as it is") or mp3
    1. If direct coding with DVD is used, put a checkmark DVD Input DVDVIDEO
  4. Specify the final folder and the name of the file result recoding.
    1. To start coding, click on the symbol "Man at work" .MAN -T-WORK

ПThe default coding with a stream of 1,500 Mbps at 2 passes in X264. To change the coding method, see laying No. 2 "x264" . For example, with Constant Quantitizer = 20 speed average flow 1800 kbit/s, and at CQ = 18 speed 2500 kbit/s.

Note: For films shorter than 10 minutes when choosing a DVD folder, an error message will arise
"Error. Title Selection, Returned No Title" -
To do this, we carry out point 1.
-> No Valid Titles Left, .. ..
Title Selection, Returned No Title! "

The program perceives the short chapter as a "dummy" or a screensaver. Therefore, the message about the removal of the chapter with a length of less than 600 seconds.

Solution: to set up limits, as written in the paragraph "Configuration" .

Extended coding settings - bookmark No. 2

On the bookmark No. 2, you can choose the video coding algorithm.
The easiest - constant quantitatizer , which we select

  1. Algorithm - Constant Quantitatizer
  2. The power of the algorithm is 20 (the higher, the greater the degree of compression)
  3. Processing depth in "Presset" for example, Fast or Medium

For the algorithm of the average bitrate (default)
Hybrid5

  1. Select the item "Specific Filesize/Bitrate 2 Pass"
  2. We indicate the bitrate
  3. Processing depth in "Presset" for example, Fast or Medium

Instead of the stream, we can specify the maximum size of the output file (remember that the capacity of CD-R is adopted 700 MB):
Hybrid6

  1. Select "Target Size (MIB)" and in the parameters instead of bitrate, indicate the desired size in the MIB.
    Where 1 mebibyte (mib or mib) = 2 20 </ Sup> byte = 1 048 576 byte byte. CD-R capacity is 702 MB or 736 966 656 bytes or 702.82 MIB.

I will not consider the rest of the bookmarks. For example, on a 4 tab on a subsidiary there is a basic filter (noise removal) video.

Launch of processing , as mentioned above - by pressing the human icon in the lower right corner on laying No. 1.
MAN -T-WORK

The program begins to process DVD while saving it on the output file:
Processing

At the end of the processing, the strip will reach the end, the message will be displayed in the window:

Job .... Finished!
