Thanks very much MrC for the new version...
Everything works nicely here, I just found a (purely cosmetic) issue which might have been present for some time... What I did was trying to just author and burn a fully DVD compliant MPEG2 file which was small enough to fit on one DVD. My settings are to keep compliant video and audio, so all AVStoDVD had to do was demux the source and author it using MuxMan. After importing the source file the main window told me that the final size would be 9.5 GB (source file was 2.9 GB) and the status line was very red. A novice user might have given up at this point, but I started the process anyways, and it finished successfully. This time it is not MediaInfo's fault, I tried three different versions. Here's the log: Quote:

Wow, this is hard to believe...
At 10 PM I report a non-critical issue for some software I use to its author. At 11:30 PM the author sends me a working hotfix. You would think that I must have paid good money for this software, plus I purchased priority gold support. And even then this kind of customer service would seem extraordinary. But this just happened with AVStoDVD which happens to be free... MrC, you are amazing... Thank you so much, Cheers manolito |

ffmpeg 2 pass support?
@MrC...
Any chance of seeing 2-pass ffmpeg video support? ffmpeg ver 2.0.2 and 2.1 are pretty good.

Thanks

First of all it does play along nicely with AviSynth 2.57 and 2.58 again (thanks qyot27 ). I used it within AVStoDVD for a couple of test conversions and did not run into any problems. But I do not see any reason to include 2-pass ffmpeg support in AVStoDVD. First of all it would not be a simple matter of just changing 1 or 2 command line parameters. Instead ffmpeg would have to be called twice with different parameters. And second I do not see any benefit. If you need 2-pass for higher quality, you already have the HC encoder. Do you believe that ffmpeg 2-pass would give you higher quality than HCenc 2-pass? Or do you think that ffmeg would be faster than HC? I doubt it in both cases. Cheers manolito |

Faster... no Better... On most stuff I encode below 3500k, I feel Yes. Anything above 3500k, mostly No. Calling ffmpeg for multi passes can be done with just 1 command line bat file with different settings. Code:
ffmpeg.exe -i "####.avs" -framerate 23.976 -aspect 16:9 -dc # -g 12 -maxrate 7500k -q:v 2 -b_strategy 2 -brd_scale 2 -bf 2 -profile:v 4 -pass 1 -passlogfile ffmpeg -an -f mpeg2video pass1.m2v ffmpeg.exe -i "####.avs" -framerate 23.976 -aspect 16:9 -dc # -g 12 -lmin 0.01 -mblmin 1 -qmin 1 -qmax 31 -maxrate 7500k -b:v ####k -bf 2 -pre_dia_size 5 -dia_size 5 -qcomp 0.7 -qblur 0 -preme 2 -me_method dia -sc_threshold 0 -sc_factor 4 -bidir_refine 4 -profile:v 4 -mbd rd -mbcmp satd -precmp satd -cmp satd -subcmp satd -skipcmp satd -pass 2 -passlogfile ffmpeg -an -f mpeg2video pass2.m2v

Wow, your command line for the second pass is really impressive! Also quite slow probably... And still no adaptive matrix, no auto GOP adjustment. Requires extensive tests to determine which decoder has the edge at these low bitrates... For me whenever I am not happy with low bitrate encodes, usually Procoder does the trick. Not that sharp, but very pleasant to watch. Cheers manolito |

adaptive matrix... No... never looked into setting it. auto GOP adjustment... Yes. I was a Procoder fan for low bitrates, but i liked the ability to change what I wanted with ffmpeg. I believe it delivers as good of, if not better then, quality. This was just a quick 2-pass sample that looks pretty good.

@netmask
see Help/FAQ/Subtitles/Q5.7 :sorry: @Fishman0919 good point, FFmpeg is making big improvements in latest releases. Does Hank have to be worried? What about adding an easter egg (a registry subkey under AVStoDVD main key) to swap HCenc 2-pass with FFmpeg 2-pass? Encoding profile label will remain HCenc 2-pass, but FFmpeg will be launch instead. Bye |

Sure. I like ffmpeg for long...... movies. 2 1/2 hrs where the bitrate can get down to around 3500k or lower.... ffmpeg seems to do well when/where HC may not.

Release 2.7.3 Alpha 131108 is out. For testing purpose only!
Change log: - Some bugs fixed - Added 'Preferred DirectShow Codecs Setup' section - Added SetACL 2.0.3.0 (LGPL by Helge Klein) to AVStoDVD package Feedbacks on Codecs selection new section (for Win7/8) are very appreciated. Bye |

Tested the 2.7.3 Alpha version a little bit under WinXP (I know this will not help you a lot...) just to see if there are any incompatibilities.
Clicking every option on the new DirectShow Codecs selection page resulted in the expected error messages. But so far no damage was done, FilMerit cannot find any inconsistencies in my DS Filter chain. Very cool... At the bottom of this codec selection page there is a link to the Win7 filter tweaker tool. This link is hardcoded to use IE. Bad... Could you change this to use whichever browser is defined as the default browser? One minor cosmetic thing: Somehow you must have reduced the width for this item in the main program window: 140020 AviSynth FrameServing-Test des Titels zur Laufzeit ausführen The translated text does not fit any more, a line break is introduced. Peanuts... Cheers manolito Last edited by manolito; 10th November 2013 at 06:58. |

@manolito
thanks for the quick feedback! Very appreciated, as usual. The retro compliance with XP is very important. I still have a XP Virtual Machine, but a regularly used OS is a different stuff. About the default browser, I check the following reg key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.htm\OpenWithList On my systems (both Win7 and XP) that key returns FIREFOX.EXE. If the read routine fails for any reasons, it falls back to IEXPLORE.EXE. About the checkbox label width, I will enlarge it again. Bye |

IMO you should check this key instead: "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\shell\open\command" The "Default" entry contains the default browser (at least on my XP SP3 machine). Cheers manolito //Edit// Maybe this key is more "correct" for a multi-user OS: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\http\shell\open\command" Last edited by manolito; 10th November 2013 at 13:22. |

Click "ffshow", "change yes or no" then error... back to "change yes or no" and continues to repeats no matter what I pick. http://i467.photobucket.com/albums/r...pse8d210d9.jpg

@manolito
good point, I will add that key as primary check, the currently used as backup. @Fishman0919 thanks for the loop bug report. Easy to fix. Does the error 'Preferred Codec NOT updated' happen only on mpeg1 codec or on all codecs? Bye |
