I found his hotmail address at the license agreement in AMV installer. But I don't know this address can be the solution if you haven't received any reply yet... If you don't receive the reply after sending e-mail to hotmail address, please tell me again. Then I'll ask him by e-mail by myself in Japanese.

Thanks - I've just written to the Hotmail address.
UT codec is very nice... on my i7 machine I can run multiple 720p60 RGB streams in realtime in Premiere Pro. The decoding speed of this codec makes it great for video editing. Is higher compression ratio possible? What does your friend think of the lossy mode in AMV? Is it something he would look to implement in UT? A good quality lossy RGB/YUY2 mode would make UT a competitor/alternative to paid-for codecs like CineForm and you wouldn't need to use a RAID array for capture.

Sorry for breaking in.
IMO, if higher compression rate will reduce the capture speed, I'd prefer UT keep the fast capture ability. There're other codec which focus at compression ratio such as Largarth or MSU, their compression ratio is higher, maybe you can consider them as codecs for archive purpose.

I've been using UT extensively in the last couple of days and can suggest an improvement. Right now, the codec doesn't remember its settings (ie the compression mode utilised). So every time you start a new capture session, you need to reset which compression mode you want to use. It would be VERY useful if the codec would use the last mode you selected rather than having to reset it all the time.
I really want to use the Median mode extensively - it offers a big compression boost over the other mode, and on the Core i7, it plays back in realtime too. |

Ut Video ver 5.2.2 has come today.
Version 5.2.0 New features ULY2: Add support for RGB32 input when encoding. ULY0: Add support for RGB32 input when encoding. (but low speed) ULY0: Add support for RGB32 output when decoding. (but low speed) 5.2.1 and 5.2.2 are for fixes. He's already known about easy2Bcheesy's request when I told him because he watched here... wait a moment. Quote:

Any news on when UT Codec will be updated with the fix I suggested? It seems a very easy thing to do!
What new plans are there for improving the codec? Can compression ratios improve, even if you need more CPU power? I love it and use it for realtime HD capture virtually every day. |

And I've use it instead of HuffYUV, it's very stable and not much room to improve, of course you can suggest your good idea through "tobinaka" san.

To be fair, the author himself says that he wants to match Lagarith compression. As I said, I love UT Codec and use it every day, but its compression limit appears to be similar to Huffyuv with adaptive frames (some way off Lagarith) and having to reset the codec's compression scheme every time I switch programs is a bit of a pain that's easily fixed.

I'm sorry I haven't written in so long. I had a trouble with my graphic board etc. It's been a long time since I visited the forum last.
As Chikuzen said above, Ut Video Codec Suite version 5.2.3 is available now. readme (English) installer source easy2Bcheesy, I'm afraid that the author may not be up for your suggestion now. He has never said so, but I'm sorry I can't help saying so, though I think it well-worth considering. Please wait with patience. It's opensourced, then it could be faster to fix it up by yourselves on the forum. By the way, though it's not the main topic here, AMV2 and 3 were also updated. And another new lossless video codec "ZeroCodec" was just released yesterday, but I've not tested it yet. While it's important to note ZeroCodec's author says it's still full of bugs, a famous news site in Japan picked it up and it's drawed attentions. -AMV Video Codec (Shareware) http://amamaman.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ -ZeroCodec v1.0.0 (Freeware not opensouced - ATTENTION! all in Japanese) http://xrowcc.blog.shinobi.jp/Entry/386/ |

Zerocodec doesn't seem to work on my Vista x64. It just won't install.
I'm really disappointed that the codec settings for UT aren't being stored properly. It's the only annoying thing about what is otherwise a great codec. It is an obvious problem and if I could fix it myself, I would... I do find that AMV has far lower CPU utilisation though and the file sizes are much smaller in most cases, but it loses its efficiency when you set every frame to be a key frame, which I need for my purposes. |
