for some reason, even after the win7dsfiltertweaker, i still couldn't get my .d2v to be rendered by lav filters. only the audio and splitter are running, even tried disabling ffdshow, still no luck. also is there any mod i could do so that i could use dgdecnv, i have a paid version. |

Wait, the d2v (DGIndex indexing files) does not need DirectShowSource filters (LAV or ffdshow), they are frameserved with DGDecode.dll plugin. Therefore I cannot understand what you are trying to do.
About DGDecNV usage, you can easily tweak the AviSynth script directly in AVStoDVD. Go to 'Edit Title'/'AviSynth' and toggle off 'Auto AviSynth Script'. Then you can edit the script to use whatever plugin/function you want. Bye |

Talking about editing the AviSynth script...
I often need to import an external script file into my main script. The external script is NOT a function, it cannot be called by a function name. Instead it just has to be imported into the main script and executed as if it was a part of the main script (no parameters have to be passed). To make this work in AVStoDVD I first tried it like this: Video = Video.ConvertToYV12() Video = Video.Import("MyAVSScript.avs") This does not work, I get an error message. The next try does work: Video = Video.ConvertToYV12() Last = Video Import("MyAVSScript.avs") Video = Last Is this the way to do it, or can it be done in a more elegant way? Cheers manolito |

OTF Font Hot Fix
Sorry for the delay in giving this a try -- this past week was very busy at work. Regarding the hotfix, yes it works perfectly. The .otf Amira font is now visible in the Menu Editor font menu and it functions just like any of my .ttf type fonts. Thanks!!!

@manolito
I think that your solution is already elegant. If you want an alternative, let's assume that your script contains a Sharpen and Tweak filters. Recall the variable 'Video' in your script: Video = Video.Sharpen(0.5).Tweak(0,1.1,0,1) Then you can just add the line: Import("MyAVSScript.avs") to the main AVStoDVD script in a convenient point of the 'Video' chain calls. @yab_tater thanks for the feedback Bye |

Thanks very much MrC for the new version...
I did a few short test conversions, everything worked beautifully. No corrections to the German language file are required. And special thanks for implementing the option to specify the value for audio normalization, much appreciated... Cheers manolito |

Muxing Issues?
I am working with the current alpha release and am having an issue where the video tracks in my finished DVDs are shorter than the original sources (causing audio de-sync). When I check my temporary folder, MediaInfo reports the encoded, un-muxed video tracks are the correct duration and they play fine (with no audio, of course). After muxing and authoring, the videos are missing just over one minute in duration from each approximately 25 minute video. The DVD has four videos, each with two language tracks and one subtitle track. The audio and subtitle tracks retain their correct durations and are in sync with each other. Do you have any thoughts as to what might be going wrong?
Thanks! |

@yab_tater
from the log file the 4 source files (mkv) and the 8 elementary output files (m2v, ac3) have all the same duration (24:29), thus there should not be issues during encoding. Do you mean that after authoring, the resulting DVD is missing 1 min video and audio is out-of-sync? Have you tried both with your PC and with a standalone DVD player? Do you have the possibility to upload one mkv to test it? Bye |

Join source titles
Hi MrC,
I'm running into an error when using joining multiple source files. I load 20 avi dv (3,5 GB in total; ~ 20 min) into A2D and want to join them. The avs file is created and so on. When loading the avs files avs2avi is started in the background but while the process is still there A2D reaches a 30sec threshold to throw an error. Result is that it cannot be loaded even though everything works fine but takes a bit longer (~1 min). Is there a workaround or can I customize the timeout? BTW The error is reproducable with 2.60 and 2.70 beta ggtop Last edited by ggtop; 29th May 2013 at 22:08. |

Hi MrC,
maybe we have a little misunderstanding. I want to use A2D, because A2D takes over the clip boundaries as chapter points. Everything is fine but only the timeout is the culprit. Especially when running my laptop on battery and power mangenment is slowing down cpu 30 sec is not enough. Would be great to switch the timeout off through settings. ggtop |

ffmpeg parameters for interlaced sources
Hi MrC,
I just made some small test encodes using an interlaced TFF source to find out if ffmpeg handled this correctly. And I think there is a problem... AVStoDVD uses these ffmpeg parameters: -flags +ilme -top 1 But I believe it should be like this: -flags ildct+ilme -alternate_scan 1 -top 1 Could you please do some research and verify the parameters... (This is the main reason I do not like ffmpeg that much... Terrible documentation, and the interface changes all the time without any regard for backward compatibility) Cheers manolito |

@ggtop
ok, now I understand. I can add a question msgbox to retry with a longer timeout. @manolito I agree about the doc, it is so inadeguate for all the options ffmpeg has. As far as I have understood, 'ilme' is the real necessary flag to tell ffmpeg to encode interlaced material. 'ildct' should apply a dc transformation, but I have read users complaining of slow encoding. Probably it could be added for HQ encoding. I have found no mentions to 'alternate_scan' in the ffmpeg build I use for AVStoDVD. Bye Last edited by MrC; 1st June 2013 at 15:10. Reason: typo |

For alternate_scan I only found something on the Avanti website: http://avanti.arrozcru.com/tpl_upd.htm I think that this parameter is a must for interlaced encodes. For 'ildct' I'm not sure. I did a test conversion with and without it, speed was identical, I think it won't hurt to use it (there must be a reason that this parameter exists). Anyways, the ffmpeg version you use does support all these parameters for interlaced. ffmpeg usually throws an error if it encounters a parameter it does not know, and this is not the case here. So I would lobby to use the full set of interlaced parameters all the time. Cheers manolito Last edited by manolito; 2nd June 2013 at 17:07. |
