Could you check again? Have you already used the Trim function in AVStoDVD with/without problems? Bye |

Your welcome.

I currently have converted a few BD to DVD but it's fairly long and tedious doing it all manually as you can see but I also only use CCE as I paid $50 for it and figure I may as well use it. Also I do often get noticably better results, albeit mostly small, then I do with free encoders that's not to take anything away from free encoders which also do a really good job. MysticE: you mean mediainfo should report it as 23.976? I agree as that pulldown could be any framerate at or below 29.97 but it should also mention that it has pulldown to be most accurate. Best place to mention it is on the mediainfo tracker at SF Last edited by turbojet; 16th May 2009 at 21:22. |

Hi Mr.C,
The new version does not ask for time anymore....does ask for which audio track to use out of sooo many, thanks! The very first time I used the program, I was prompted about ffdshow and overlay mixer....please clarify for I probably chose a wrong choice. When previewing, the audio went scratchy... I tried a VC1 m2ts....the preview said something about line 8 of the avisynth. Yet you allow us to choose a2dsource, directshowsource, avisource....It is theDDS that I was successful in making my own manual backup not thru avs2dvd. Maybe prompting the user to inform the prog whether it is a avc or vc1 is a good idea? Maybe not, for Mediainfo should tell you that... How about adding Spline32resize based on other posts... TIA P.S. how about using your preview screen to choose the specific point for chapters instead of just specific time...5min...? Lol @meself with P.S. Last edited by Surf; 17th May 2009 at 02:12. Reason: P.S. |

I tried out the May 15 alpha-beta today. It worked fine on my very complex Avisynth script.
For me, the ability to use Avisynth scripts is huge. No longer do I need to make intermediate .avi files. Thank you so much. For me, AVStoDVD now lives up to its name; you can go directly from .avs files to DVD. Some time ago, I tried several other (paid) programs which supposedly went directly from .avs to DVD, namely ConvertXtoDVD and TMPGEnc's Authoring Works. They both crashed. I also tried DVD Flick. It was very slow and didn't work right. For me AVStoDVD is better than any of these. Now, a hopefully easy request. Make Options->Preferences->Save current Preferences as default apply for future projects. I believe that's the intent but for me it doesn't work. For every project, I have to change from PAL to NTSC, Chapter Interval from 5 to 999 minutes, etc., etc. |

Yes, I can, but what are really the advantages vs Spline16? Quote:
About not working, please check again because it should work (are you sure you have toggle on the option?). Guys, what about the new multipage menu support? Have you tried it? Any issues/suggestions? Bye |

OK thanks, let me know if you need anything else and I'll try to provide it.
I'll take a look at the source code however I must admit that outside of batch and basic bash scripts I haven't had any success with programming except for following tutorials. Multipage menu support is nice however I don't know about the left and right arrow placements, for some reason I think I might like them on the left and right side of the screen but some overscan might cut them off. This works though and it's probably the most typical spot for them on retail DVD's. Speaking of menus, while current menus are really nice for multi-clip projects like tv series however when it's a single movie I don't find it very beneficial currently. This could all change though with a scene selection type menu that has instead of a play all button a play button that's default. The captions could read something like 'chapter 10 (1:05:31)' where chapter 10 starts at 1:05:31 into the movie. Would something like this be possible? Maybe eventually could add a language selection type sub menu that lets you select which audio/subs to use? |

AVStoDVD is currently set up for PAL. I use NTSC settings. Every time I start a new project, I have to change all settings to NTSC. "Save current Preferences as default" makes no difference for future projects, currently. I would like to make an NTSC project, save its preferences as the default, and have future projects open with those (NTSC in my case) settings. I think the multipage menus are great. It looked like maybe the bottom parts of some text were cut off when using 6 columns with 2 lines of text. I switched to 5 columns and it looked better. |

Then I ran AVStoDVD as a limited user, as I usually do. The new Preferences were now the default. As before, I could change them temporarily, but when I closed the program and restarted, my changes were gone. All settings were back to what I set as Admin. So, Feature Request: Allow per-user Preference settings, including non-admin users. |

Question to all AVStoDVD users: are there any problems in moving the registry key from HKLM to HKCU? Bye |

Problem With Thunbnails
I have been trying to backup a dvd tv series onto a single disk, 22 files average 24 min. each. using AvstoDVD 2.20alpha
for its menu capabilities. Everything goes fine until menu generation, then the computer freezes. I think I have narrowed it down to the file "Thumb_12_AviSynthT.avs" trim statement that reads trim(0,0). All of the other BMP files are 28k, Thumb_12.bmp is 1.7MB I can reproduce this every time. All of the other Thumb avs trim statements are around the 2150 range. I have tried motion menus, static menus, and adjusting framerates with no success. The file itself plays fine and passes VirtualDubs error checking. I am unaware of how to restart avstoDvd at menu generation after a crash. So each attempt takes a long time. Is there a way to pick up where you left off? How does AVStoDVD Pick its frame for the static menu, and can it be tweaked? Also, I have previously made motion menus (2 files) that play fine on my computer, but stutter on both of my standalone players (I think they dont like the Memorex CD-R). Is there a way to adjust the bitrate of the menus? One more thing, I have been using Quenc because HcEnc seems to yield random "process aborted" dialogues. Is this common? I havn't tried to diagnose the problem, nor did I do any searches. Any thoughts on my problem? |

@ bagheera1
Although I don't know the answer, you are trying to put almost 9 hours of video on one DVD. The vid quality will have to be pretty bad. Quote:
@ MrC I though in the past when I chose muxed mpeg as output I used to get it saved under the original file name, not some generic 'DVD_2_Title_01.mpg' name. Last edited by MysticE; 22nd May 2009 at 21:02. |

The video quality will be totally fine, not a blocky mess. I have made many disks at this bitrate and they all turned out to be completely watachable, and totally acceptable.
The problem is the weird menu creation behavior on file 12. By the way, I have saved the project since the 2nd time I had to redo it. Last edited by bagheera1; 23rd May 2009 at 13:38. |

Code:
CLng(Val(.ThumbFramePos) / 100 * Title(jj).TimeTrimmed * Val(Title(jj).InputMediaInfo.VideoFPS)) 1. ThumbFramePos -> it is defined in the DVD Menu Wizard, 'Option' tab. 2. Title(jj).TimeTrimmed -> the time length (trimmed, if you did) of your input file. If the time (read by MediaInfo) is 0, then the error you reported can happen. 3. Title(jj).InputMediaInfo.VideoFPS -> your input file framerate. If the framerate (read by MediaInfo) is null or 0, then the error you reported can happen. Please do the troubleshooting by yourself and report back what you find. Maybe I need to add some workarounds to take care of fps/time null readings. Quote:
Not right now. Menu bitrate is hardcoded (6000 kbps for video and 192 kbps for audio). But you are not the first guy asking me to customize it, so I will think about it... Quote:

Concerning the menu changes I mentioned. Would AVStoDVD having an option to send each chapter as a separate title be a solution to scene selection?
Audio setup menu page would be a whole other matter however. Also could drag and drop input files in main window be a possible addition? |
