About log file you sent me, there is a authoring finalization error. The cause is exactly the same manolito pointed out some posts ago (bug in chapter generation when upsizing fps to NTSC and clip time is very near to a multiple of chapter interval). I am fixing it and a 2.1.4 release will be out very soon. Please do not throw away the 1:25:00 time clip (title 2 of your log file), because it will be useful to verify the new chapter routine. Bye |

As I understand it, this means that we accept the pulldown judder and preserve the audio pitch, and keep the subs easily in sync. With AssumeFPS(25) and resampling the audio we would avoid the judder but raise the audio pitch, and probably would have to change the time stamps of the subtitles. It is eventually a matter of preference I guess. |

I add 2 titles, If I highlight title 1, and edit that title, Then click next title in the edit screen, its spits out that error. However If I click edit title on the second title It doesn't seem to do that, I can go back and forth between the titles in the edit screen.

"Right now, you can avoid that problem by settings 999 mins in chapters interval: it means no chapters at all.
Remember that the bug happens only when the total time is equal to (a multiple of chapters interval) plus (a bunch of seconds)" Yesterday I had a successfully run with AVStoDVD . It was the usual sort of video file I use : <1/22/2009 6:45:07 PM> TITLE 1 SOURCE FILES Video: C:\input\ Emperor.avi Info: DivX 5 - 794 kbps - 672x272 - DAR 2.471 - 25 fps - PPF - 1:47:05 hours - 160625 frames Audio: C:\input\ Emperor.avi Info: MPEG-1 Audio layer 3 - 112 kbps - CBR - 48000Hz - 2ch - 1:47:04 hours Subs: [MediaInfoLib - v0.7.8] " Except this time I used the default chapter creation setting of 5 mins. . And the chapter creation worked fine . After reading this reply : " Remember that the bug happens only when the total time is equal to (a multiple of chapters interval) plus (a bunch of seconds" I'll make sure that after all the chapters are created , that there aren't seconds left over to cause any MuxMan errors. I also wanted to comment that before I ran the last encode job with AVStoDVD , I tried to run the same video file with Nero Vision Express 4 . And about 2 hrs. into the job , Nero Vision "froze up " and failed to finish the job. Then when I loaded the same video file into AVStoDVD , with 5 min. chapters ( no left over seconds after the last full chapter) , AVStoDVD successfully created another high quality DVD movie. So despite a few small bugs , I believe AVStoDVD is shaping up better than the bloated Nero Vision Express. And AVStoDVD certainly creates more readable log files than the log files created by Nero Vision .

@gizzin
I can't reproduce the error. If any other guy has that type of error, it is better if we continue via PM. Are you using any "unusual" settings (like tweaking AVStoDVD registry key)? Send me some screenshots of the error environment. @leoliver Thanks for the feedback. As you can see that clip (not downloaded illegally, I hope) has a duration NOT multiple of 5 minutes. Bye |

Ok guys, here you are a very small 2.1.4 Alpha release. It is just an update from 2.1.3. Unzip and overwrite the files in AVStoDVD folder.
Change log: - Some bugs fixed (including the NTSC chapter generation, I hope ) - Changed WAV audio encoder: from 'FFMpeg r14277' to 'Wavi 1.06' - Improved 'Save/Open Project' routines - Improved 'Clip Preview' section GUI Let me know Bye |

For anyone interested, here you are the new routine to create chapters framecount boundaries (MuxMan format). It is VB code, but simple enough to be read by everybody that knows the programming basics:
Code:
FPS = 25 If Settings.VideoStandard = "NTSC" Then FPS = 2997 / 100 If Val(Settings.ChaptersInterval) * 60 < Title.TimeTrimmed Then Do jj = jj + 1 FrameChapter = Val(Settings.ChaptersInterval) * jj * 60 * Round(FPS) If FrameChapter < Title.TimeTrimmed * FPS Then Create_Chapters_List = Create_Chapters_List & FrameChapter & vbCrLf End If Loop Until FrameChapter > Title.TimeTrimmed * FPS If Right(Create_Chapters_List, 2) = vbCrLf Then Create_Chapters_List = Left(Create_Chapters_List, Len(Create_Chapters_List) - 2) End If End If Bye |

Today I used the new 2.1.4 Alpha release with success. It encoded a 700 MB. file in a little over 2 hrs. The last AVStoDVD job, done with release 2.1.3 took almost 3.5 hrs. . And that job was with another 700 MB. AVI file. However with the 2.1.4 Alpha release job , I didn't use FFDShow which may have speed-ed up the job.
If anyone needs a source of free, legal audio/video downloads , check out : NewTeeVee » Ten Sites for Free and Legal Torrents . The videos on those sites are not new Hollywood releases , but many are very good movies .

Error when I try and use the Fire Web menu template
Today I decided to use the "Fire Web" DVD menu template.
But after selecting that template , and then clicking on the "Menu Edit" button , I received this error message : " Run-time error:'308' Invalid property value " And after the error message AVStoDVD shut down , requiring me to restart the program and selecting another DVD menu template . And all the other DVD menu templates work just fine. The only problem is with the "Fire Web" template. So I thought I would bring this issue to your attention. Thanks.

Thanks leoliver for the bug report.
The reason could be that the Fire Web template requires truetype font "Garamond" to be installed on your system. In 2.1.4 final I will add a font check routine to prevent those errors. Thanks Bye |

I checked my Font folder for "Garamond" , and it was not installed on my system . So that must have been the cause of the error.

I love this piece of software. It just gets better and better with each revision. And the quality top notch (HC and Aften). Good work MR.C. Don't use inferior software (convertx).

First of all thanks for this wonderfull app.
Last night I did some testing and I downloaded some of these files. AVS2DVD won't create a DVD it even won't encode these files. Maybe it's caused by the low framerate of these files. |

Hi Pinobird,
they are standard low res wmv files, there's no reason that AVStoDVD cannot encode them. Could you please be more specific about the error? Screenshots and/or log files would be useful Bye |

Nasty wmv files! I really hate them!
Go to 'Title Edit'/'AviSynth', toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script', replace "#Using DGPulldown to upsize FPS" with "Video = Video.ConvertFPS(25)". It should work Bye |

Cool! Thanks for the bitrate and video size features. Can't wait for the custom chapter points feature. By the way, does AVStoDVD support either having motion backgrounds with music/motion title buttons (where you see a preview video of the chapter/title you can select)? Just trying to get clarification on that.
