How to get started with creqing: Difference between revisions

These are usually the most easy creqs to make, as you generally do them if you have the file at hand, and notice that things are wrong/missing in the file entry. It should be enough to auto-creq files with [[Avdump2]] in most cases. There are however some fields that is not handled when auto-creqing. These are specified below.

{{eyecatch|Warning|It is considered "bad manners" to creq fields that can be handled by Avdump2. You should have a very good reason for doing it.}}

|Language information is often required to be set manually as not all file formats store that type of information. There is also no guaranty that such information is correct even when supplied. (This is the reason why it is not that uncommon to see file entries verified by Avdump2 that has wrong language information set.)

|The only parts that is not handled by Avdump2 are the flags ''clean video'' and ''wrong aspect ratio''. ''Clean video'' means that the video is exactly in the shape it was broadcast / released in. That is; the encoder did not add any logos or text on top (including hard subs). Aspect ratio is a problematic area in general and has to be handled manually in some cases.

|It is usually only ''the number of channels'' that has to be set manually/corrected, due shortcomings in Avdump2. Most commonly seen is ''fake 5.1 AAC'' audio that should be set to ''stereo''. This is usually checked by listening to each channel one by one using an audio mixer.
