almost 6hrs for 3 hours of content

maybe just encode in NTSC format and take a slight resolution hit

ok so i installed avisynth + MT and used prefetch (4) at the end of the script and that seems to bump fps back to 100 fps, any insight to negative effects ?

Multitasking does help a lot with MVTools. If you use it for HD conversions using X264 or X265 you might get crashes sooner or later. AVStoDVD seems to be less affected in my experience.

My plugin package for AVStoDVD now also has a section on using AVS+ MT under AVStoDVD. Download here:

Can you cut out a short section of such a source file and upload it to a file hoster? And the AVStoDVD log file would also be nice...

Yes, you can use Groucho's universal AviSynth installer for quickly switching AviSynth versions:
https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...88#post1720988

But before doing this you should try if BD Rebuilder really refuses to run under AVS+. I am not familiar with BD Rebuilder, but for DVD Rebuilder jdobbs says the same thing, and it is not true. DVD Rebuilder runs nicely under the latest AVS+ version by pinterf.

ok will look into the switcher, i did stumble upon it, but then forgot :P

bd rebuilder forces it's self closed if Avisynth is not present or wrong version

Thanks for uploading your sample...

But I cannot reproduce your issue. I tried to replicate your settings as good as I could, but I got a very nice result. BatchMux had no complaints. I used the first 3 subtitle tracks, and something is wrong here. Only the first subs track shows English subs, the other 2 just show question marks. Weird...

I know almost nothing about subs, might well be that BatchMux stumbled upon one of your subtitle tracks. But it sure has nothing to do with the PAL Speedup option. At least not on my machine.

Get my test results here:

The key line in your DVD log is this one:
Quote:
Created File (Menu Page 1): C:\Users\mike7\Videos\DVD_1_MenuPage1.m2v (0 Byte)
AVStoDVD always uses FFMpeg to create the motion menu video even if HCenc is selected as the video encoder. And this encoding step fails on your computer.

First thing I thought was that the reason could be that you had selected a duration of 25 sec for the motion menu while the source only has a duration of 12 sec. But this was wrong, my computer had no problem using 25 sec as the menu duration.

You could try anyways to shorten the menu duration to no more than 12 sec, but if this does not help then I believe that AVS+ is the reason.

//EDIT//
Or did you update your FFmpeg version in AVStoDVD without observing this?
Quote:
FFmpeg:
The included version 2.2.3 is from 2014 and is slowly getting a little old. For the purpose of AVStoDVD it probably has everything it needs, though...
If you want to upgrade to a later version, there are a few things to keep in mind:

Starting with version 3.1.2 the FFmpeg AVS interface has changed. To work with A2D it is necessary to include the folder "...\AVStoDVD\Lib" in your "PATH" environment variable. It is also recommended to include the folder "...\AviSynth\Plugins" in the "PATH" variable.

Current FFmpeg versions do NOT work under Win XP. There are a couple of fairly recent builds by CoRoNe, rogerdpack and Sherpya which do work under Win XP, though.

The latest and highly recommended version which works under Win XP and does not require to modify the "PATH" variable is this one from July 2016 by rogerdpack:

no worries, my work around is enable menu, let it moan about not being able to create thumbnail, encode, it will fail when it gets to encoding and creating the menu, keep assest files , start new project, add the .m2v files, edit menu, re prosses but it wont do any encoding, but it will finish making the menue and then creat the dvd struture

I opened AVStoDVD to start a conversion and something told me to go to the codecs setting. Well everything was under ffdshow, and of course LAV is installed. So, is it Windows or something else that kicks it back to other than LAV filters? Or is it the program itself that picks best settings fir a project? Should I always check and make sure LAV is default? How other than going down one by one and hitting LAV can I do this? Thanks. Also should I just delete FFDShow out of my system? What's using it? Is it old and true MPC-HC 64 bit the one that's using it? Or DVDFab, VidCoder,...? That way I'll always have LAV as default for AvstoDVD. Thanks.

This should not happen. If you are under Win10 it may be that after a feature update the preferred DS filters will be reset, but it will certainly reset the filters to the MS default filters and not to ffdshow.

So I believe that either yourself or some software you are using has changed the preferred filter settings to ffdshow. MPC-HC 64 has been using LAV Filters for quite some time, if your version still uses ffdshow it must be pretty old. Time to upgrade...

If you do not need the newer LAV features (supporting newer video codecs or current hardware assisted decoding features) then ffdshow is really not so bad. AVStoDVD fully supports it, and if you are not getting any problems like audio/video sync problems then you could probably stay with ffdshow. I have no idea which of your other installed software might insist on ffdshow, this is something you need to find out yourself by uninstalling ffdshow and check all your video playback or conversion software.


Cheers

Keep getting this error.

I keep getting this error. Never got it before. After I close the command window it tells me if I want to proceed with something about FFMPeg etc... and then it turns out ok. Here's the screenshot I attached. Thanks.
