AvsInfo/AvsExec are not for video encoding - simply for executing avisynth scripts.

***

Latest update includes Boot-Logo when launching multiAVCHD:



When prompted to update, please do. If not, use multiUPDATE to update your multiAVCHD, which in its turn will do all necessary updates itself.

There will be a short delay when you launch multiAVCHD for a first time after the update, while .\res\splash.bmp (550KB) and .\multiBOOT.exe (50KB) are downloaded (total of 600kb). If you wish, you can download these 2 files manually and save them in their proper locations. After a complete reinstall, multiAVCHD icon/link launches multiBOOT.exe. It is required, because multiAVCHD boots really-really slow and some users double/tripple click/start multiAVCHD and it causes troubles.

If you don't want to do a full-download/reinstall, please change your multiAVCHD shortcut to point to multiBOOT.exe.

Please, do not start multiAVCHD.exe directly - it will take more (~2x) time to launch.

deank, I have just tried, downloaded twice from 2 different sites, the latest full version, but when I try to install, I get a message that says:
Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes includes incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy.

I'm uploading the installer atm and it is not complete. The upload broke couple of times and you probably don't have the full installer (38 061 834 bytes).


You don't really need it. Just launch multiUPDATE.exe, then close multiAVCHD and restart it. And change the shortcut to multiBOOT.exe which should be present in multiAVCHD's folder.

OK, done. It works. It appears to launch multiAVCHD in about 7 seconds now.
I was not having any problems with it before, seemed to launch acceptibly fine for me!
Of course, with my age does come patience!

Same here (launches for 7 seconds), but on my older desktop PC it takes like 120 SECONDS?! And even 10-15 seconds delay may cause users to launch it again and...

The problem is that multiAVCHD is compiled each time it is started and it takes some time on slower machines.

I think the splash screen is a nice looking way to wait for main app to appear.

Thanks, very much appreciated.

Was that the reason for the failure with the chapter file that I have?

multiAVCHD will automatically download and update multiUPDATE.
Attempting autoupdate. Will do manual if it fails.

multiAVCHD supports about 10 chapter formats, it is that :FR(ame) one was not one of them.

Internally multiAVCHD uses HR:MM:SS.MLS - milliseconds and not frames. multiAVCHD uses all types of framerate conversion and the only way to keep all correct is to use TIME-stamps and not frames and that's why if you load a chapter file with :FR format it will be converted to .MLS milliseconds.

Since I couldn't find a way to set the timecode format, I have to assume that you didn't mean the update that just happened, but for build 763.

Build 762 accepts HR:MM:SS:FR format. Try to load your chapter file - it should work.

It will even work if your chapter file looks like

00:00:01.001
00:02:03:20
1681
00:12:06
00:18:12;00:19:31.434

The update uses the same build number, because of minor changes.

In that case, any idea why the chapter file that was created from VideoReDo would cause mAVCHD to crash?

The attachment needs approval. Can you copy/paste it in [ code ] or post in multiFORUM threads so I can take a look?

Before you do, please use multiUPDATE.exe to update your multiAVCHD - just to be on the safe side.

A chapter file with:

00:00:00:00

each on separate line works for sure and I tested it yesterday.

I used this one for testing:

Code:
00:00:00:00
00:07:59:20
00:15:59:11
00:23:59:22
00:31:59:03
00:39:59:14
00:47:59:05
00:55:59:06
01:03:59:17
01:11:59:18
01:19:59:09
and got

Code:
00:00:00.000
00:07:59.800
00:15:59.440
00:23:59.880
00:31:59.120
00:39:59.560
00:47:59.200
00:55:59.240
01:03:59.680
01:11:59.720
01:19:59.360
for 25fps video.

It didn't crash this time, but it only used the chapters that ended in :00

The other 6 were ignored.

Sorry, didn't notice that it was tagged pending. Not used to that.

Code:

00:01:08:00
00:13:16:01

Pasting your chapter marks works and got me this:

Code:
00:00:00.000
00:00:29.920
00:01:08.000
00:13:16.040
00:21:10.000
00:31:59.240
00:38:33.480
00:42:56.920
00:47:51.760
(assuming 25fps video)

As noted in your other forum (probably should have noted it here):

1080p23.976

Hmm... Just tried with 23.976 and chapter marks are missing. Let me check why... I guess it is a rounding issue.

/./

Execute multiUPDATE.exe - it is fixed now. Sorry about that.

'Tis OK. Just making sure that I wasn't seeing things.

BTW, when someone imports a 29.97 frame/sec project and imports a chapter list, how do you know that they are using DFTC or NDFTC? With 720p59.94, it is even worse, since two consecutive frames have the same timecode, normally marked with a character change before the frame value, i.e., 00:00 and 00.00

Just imported the chapter text file (after adding a chapter manually at time 0), and noticed that the math is was off: (TC Mine Yours)

Code:
00:00:00:00  000  000
00:00:29:23  958  293
00:01:08:00  000  000
00:13:16:01  042  708
00:21:10:00  000  000
00:31:59:06  250  .25
00:38:33:12  500  501
00:42:56:23  958  293
00:47:51:19  792  459
The frames must be frame divided by 24, not 23.976. I just noticed that VideoReDo is using NDFTC with 23.976 video. I'm not even sure what the formula is with 23.976 video using DFTC. I'll have to figure that out.

And no, it is not a typo in that the .25 is displayed as: 00:31:59..25

In the little thumbnail display of the video, you can't get to frame 000, it always displays as 001. Plus the F>> button doesn't skip a single frame, it seems to skip 6 frames, i.e., four clicks and you are at the 1 second mark, which does display as 1.000. All three of the times that are displayed within the first second are .001 too high.
