Yes, AVStoDVD support both motion background with audio AND motion thumbnails for titles.

Just select 'Settings'/'DVD Menu'/'Select DVD Menu Style' and put 'Motion DVD Menu'. Then play with DVD Menu window.

Okay.

Is it possible to for you to make so that I or anybody can type in the path of the location of like avisynth or portable imgburn? Also how about putting the size of video in number format so people know what the size really is? How about a full abort command if you want to completely stop the encoding process? Is there a way to change the bitrates of the menu? Sorry if I have so many suggestions it is just that I'm trying to make AVStoDVD even better. By the way how do I make it so the menu has more than one page? The thumbnails keep stacking up on one another. Also, when editing video titles, the video bitrate doesn't match the ones in settings tab, however the audio bitrate matches the settings tab. Also, why is it that there is a average and max bitrate for video? Can't there just be one bitrate (cbr) for video like the way the audio is set up?

Why, what's the problem with them? AVStoDVD finds their path from the win registry.

Not understood. Please clarify better.

What do you mean for "full abort"? I cannot abort the execution of other tools.

Next release will (probably) have those features.

Clearly you have not understood the purpose of 'Settings'/'Encoding' & 'Settings'/'AudioVideo' tabs. Do read the help section (press F1) and, if you have time, make a search in this thread. Then if your questions are not answered, come back here.

No problem with them just wanted to use the portable imgburn, so to do that it would be necessary to be able to type in the path of the portable imgburn exe file.

Video size- VCD=352x240 etc.

For example when encoding you wanted to change something there should be a full abort button to completely stop the entire process of encoding and go back to the main screen.

I'm just comparing it to my Honestech DVD authoring studio program which has just one setting for video bitrate, which makes it easier to use I think.

Just now did I find this specific AVStoDVD forum.

My question is something about version 2.1.3, but it may apply on the new version.

Can I use any Avisynth plug in with AVStoDVD or only a few of them, those listed as:

Script Shortcuts" (AviSynth filters):
- Crop allows you to crop excess pixels off of each frame
- Vertical Resize allows you to vertically enlarge/reduce the aspect ratio
- Trim allows you to select only an interval between video frames
- Tweak allows you to adjust the video hue, saturation, brightness, and contrast
- Delay Audio allows you to set a delay/advance between audio and video sources
- Amplify Audio allows you to amplify audio Track by amount.

Now I am thinking it is so. Is that right?

Does exist a "portable" version of ImgBurn? If yes, is it located by AVStoDVD (go to 'Settings'/'Info'/'Software Info')?

Ok, got it. I can add a label/tip on the right.

You have just to close the running app. In most cases, AVStoDVD will stop the process.

Hi Calmart and welcome here.

you can add as many plugin as you want. But you have to manually edit the script: toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script' and write directly in the textbox.

The shorcuts you have listed are just... shortcuts to very popular internal AviSynth filters.

That's OK. I know that. I already untoggled the "Auto" box and corrected the 16:9 ratio on another film.

But which is the way the script should be written there:

Like this: Video = Video.RePAL()

Or like this: RePAL()

Should I write down where the plug in is, like:

LoadCPlugin("C:\Path\To\repal.dll")

I am getting "script error" messages when I try to use some scripts, like LimitedSharpenFaster.

Put
Code:
LoadCPlugin("C:\Path\To\repal.dll")
at the beginning of the script (line 1) and
Code:
Video = Video.RePAL()
in the Video section, i.e. after "Video = Video.ConvertToYV12"

Here is where I downloaded portable imgburn.

http://www.softpedia.com/get/PORTABL...-ImgBurn.shtml

How do I get AVStoDVD to locate it?

When I load this script:

LoadPlugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\Yadifmod.dll")
Video = Video.Yadifmod(Mode=1,Order=1)

I get a message saying:

"args must be clips".

As I am not familiar yet with Avisynth scripts, it sounds like chinese to me. What do I have to write to make it work?

Thanks for the new version. I'd like to add a background to my subtitles(Preferably a transparent box) , how do I enable this in the Subtitle Creator Data Profile?

Thanks In Advance.

Sorry for asking again, but, what are the differences between standard ImgBurn and portable ImgBurn? Does portable ImgBurn not make use of Windows Registry?

Post here the full script and we will try to edit it together

Really do not know. My knowledge of SubtitleCreator is not that deep... You should ask to Doom9 subtitles section.

Profiles can be located at "C:\Program files\AVStoDVD Dev\SubtitleCreator\Data\Profiles.xml". Be careful to modify that file.

More comings and goings.

I am using the following script for a conversion:

LoadCplugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\Yadif.dll")
Video = Video.Yadif(Mode=1,Order=1)
Video = Video.Tweak(Sat=1.1)
Video = Video.ConvertToYV12
Video = Video.Lanczos4Resize(720,480,0,66,0,-66)

Differently from others I tried, this one showed no errors.

The Preview plays very well and better than the original. But the resultant file, which should be 104 minutes long came out 260 minutes long.

What might be happening?

Oh I haven't actually tried the portable one yet, but when I do I will see if it does make an entry in windows registry.

Apparently Yadif mode=1 is a bobber, so frame rate is doubled. Then you have to use repal to bring it back down.

But when I tried this correction AVStoDVD stopped before converting it. The log file I got was this:

@calmart

it seems that HCenc does not like your script very much. Locate file "C:\DOCUME~1\Carlos\CONFIG~1\Temp\VideoFile_0_Title_01.HCenc.log" and check what kind of error HCenc throws out.

Or alternatively try with QuEnc profile.

Well, in the end I could make it work. The script that I used, suggested in another forum, was this:

LoadPlugin("C:\video\DGIndex\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\RePAL.dll")
LoadCPlugin("C:\video\AviSynth 2.58\plugins\Yadif.dll")
Video = Video.Yadif(Mode=1,Order=1)
Video = Video.RePAL()
Video = Video.AssumeFPS(25) #for HCEnc

Video = Video.ConvertToYV12
Video = Video.Lanczos4Resize(720,480,0,66,0,-66)

The process had some hiccups, saying from time to time that there were some mpeg errors. But to my surprise HCEnc went on and finished the conversion.

Except for those "errors" everything went perfect and I could end up with a corrected video file.

The only problem is that I now will have to get to understand what was done, as I am completely new to this world of scripts.
