Hi MrC. Just reinstalled AVS2DVD today latest build and encoding a DVD at the moment I just noticed something. AVS2DVD is using HCENC 0.26 Beta, not even 0.27 and I just saw 0.28 came out yesterday
Any reasons as to this?

Simple reason:
AVStoDVD installs AviSynth version 2.58 which is the latest stable version. And HCenc 0.28 needs at least AviSynth version 2.60 RC1. The latest version is 2.60 RC3, and many people agree that it can be considered stable, but MrC probably wants to wait for the release version.

In the meantime you can upgrade AviSynth and HCenc yourself. Install AviSynth 2.60 RC3 over the old version, and for HCenc just extract HCenc.exe from the archive into the AVStoDVD\HCenc folder. And let us know if it works...


Cheers

Yes, actually I'm using AviSynth 2.6 RC3 without problems. But I have no hurry (no real need) to bundle it to AVStoDVD package...

About HCenc 0.28, I would wait to check its reliability and the real new benefits to DVD encoding. I have kept 0.26 so far mainly for the stability.

Of course any feedbacks about these topics are very welcome

FWIW I just did a couple of short test encodes using HCenc 0.28 latest build from May-08-2015 under AviSynth 2.60 RC3, and everything worked just fine.

Still I don't have a clue if the improvements compared to version 0.26 have any influence on DVD compliant output. At least I could not see any difference...

Another small issue caused by MediaInfo...

While working on a different project I came across some MP4 files (AVC video, 6-ch AAC audio) where the number of audio channels causes a problem.

I get these files from ffmpeg using the Fraunhofer libfdk-aac library. A small test sample is here:
http://www44.zippyshare.com/v/erXu5G6U/file.html

MediaInfo reports Channels = 2, Channels_Original = 6. Loading such a file into AVStoDVD makes AVStoDVD think that the audio has 2 channels which is definitely wrong. Forcing 6 channels takes care of it.

I am not the only one having this problem. Have a look here:
http://ffmpeg.gusari.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=1378

In the last post of this thread Zenitram explains what is happenig.

Suggestion for AVStoDVD:
If the "Channels_Original" entry is present, use the channel count from this entry instead of the value from the "Channels" entry.

I remember there was a similar issue recently for video when there were two different values for the framerate mode (CFR or VFR), and this was fixed accordingly.

Guys, I know I'm going to repeat myself but I can't find the place to set AVStoDVD to load the DVD menu (in cases of multiple videos) instead of automatically playing the first title. Can someone please tell me where to set this? Thanks and sorry for repeating myself...

@SuLyMaN

that's puzzling, because the default command is exactly to display the DVD menu, not to play the first title.

Are you sure you do not have activated any override command on your DVD player?

No, I just put the DVD in (both my player and another player) and the first title starts to play automatically :S

Is it possible that I changed a setting in AVStoDVD causing this?

Could it be that you have this box checked?

@manolito: I loaded my software and it was unchecked. Maybe I used it, I cannot say for sure. But thanks for the input. I will try an encode without this box checked.

@Mister XY

better if you upload the image to another host service (Dropbox, Tinypic, Sendspace, Mediafire, ...). And post the 2.8.2 Alpha project log file too.

@SuLyMaN

as already mentioned, A2D (actually BatchMux) is not capable to force the direct play of first DVD title. The option manolito was referring is just the position of the highlight when the DVD menu is loaded: option unchecked -> first title thumb is highlighted, option checked -> play all button is highlighted.
Do you get the same behaviour (direct play of first title) with all the players you have tried? I mean software player (i.e. MPC-HC, VLC, WMP) and external DVD player?

Anyway, if you really can't figure out, you can use PgcEdit to mod the authored DVD structure to do what you prefer upon disc insert: http://jean.laroche.free.fr/Jumping0.4.3.1/

Heh Thanks for the answer. I actually do not want to play the first DVD title which is currently the case. I want it to go to the title menu which displays the 2-3 videos which I can then select to play.

As I said, I am getting no DVD menu, even clicking on root/title button is not getting on the menu to choose the titles currently.

I have used Windows media player and the auto DVD menu popup has also directly played the first title when selected. I cannot select the title/root menus. I have not tried on a new AVStoDVD install yet though.

@Mister XY

it is indeed a bug, being there since the introduction of PAL SpeedUp routine. Thanks for the report.

A new 2.8.2 Alpha should be out within few days, there will be a fix for that.
