Browsing through the ffms2 change log I did not find any changes related to track, cachefile or seekmode. So I went ahead and used ffms2.dll version 2.17 for one conversion, and everything worked as expected.

Of course this was not a very comprehensive test, but I will stick with v. 2.17 for now and let you know if I find any issues later...

MrC.
Been using your AVStoDVD tool for ages now, cannot fault it!

One burning question though? Are there any plans to make an "AVStoBLURAY", or similar, version? Would be nice to have a very-easy-to-use tool like yours, but with the ability to add a few HD titles, a simple menu to author on a blu-ray disc.

I have tried MultiAVCHD, but that is just too confusing, and the one I had managed to complete, did not work

I do not know how much work would be involved making a blu-ray version of AVStoDVD, as I am no coder, but I would gladly donate, as I suspect, would loads of others.

AVStoBD would be surely an intriguing project. Unfortunately it is not planned in the close future. Maybe one day...

Meanwhile I suggest you to get familiar with MultiAVCHD which is an outstanding project, even if it is no more developed.

If you want something more easy, use Ripbot264; which i used from a while. Easy, stable, a perworfull tool.

RipBot264 is a nice GUI for X264, but it will certainly not author BlueRay disks. It can output AVCHD, MP4 and MKV, and of course you can burn AVCHD to a BlueRay blank and most BD players will play it. But it still is no "real" BlueRay disk, and don't even think about a menu...

Right now MultiAVCHD is the only free solution to create BlueRay disks with a menu, and there is not much hope for competition.

Every time I try to convert an MKV with subtitles AVStoDVD responds with "Warning! Errors found during subititles track selection" and the subtitles are not added. Is it looking for external subtitles even though they are embedded in the source file? Is there a way to rectify?

Are you using the latest AVStoDVD release (2.5.1) with a recent MKVToolnix release (higher than 5.2.0)?

If yes, could you please upload the problematic mkv? I hope it is legal material... no support for unknown sources...

Yes. I'm using MKVToolnix 5.8.0

No, I am still using 2.4.2. I will install 2.5.1 and try again...

5 minutes later: Yes, that seems to have worked much better.

thank you

Hi MrC,

I found that if you use text based titles and right align the labels, the selection bar in the menu doesn't completely cover the labels.

@Sjakko

could you please post some screenshots (Edit Mode, Preview Mode and DVD output) to better explain the issue?

title right position and selection bar width

Hi MrC,

If I use italics on right-aligned titles the text does stick out a mm or 2 but that really isn't the core of the issue. I didn't really get the situation clear in my head. Let me try again:

I have 13 right-aligned text-based titles with varying width. The first title is quite wide (+/-520 pixels) and the rest is relatively narrow. In the down-left quadrant I have a background picture that I don't want covered by the selection bar. I have 2 choices:

- Either I get the same width for all titles and let the selection bar cover the background picture. This is the easiest but not nice. The selection bar sticks out a lot on the left (depending on the length of the title) and none on the right because of the right-alignment.
- Or for esthetic purposes I set the title width for each title separately to match the text width exactly. This way it won't cover the background image as I wanted and sticks out 0pixels on both sides. But this is quite laborious because I'd have to work out the width for each title and calculate the left position from the desired right position.

Ideally I'd love to have right-aligned text with a selection bar centered over the text with like 10 pixels sticking out on both ends of the title.

So I guess my request would be to have the option for the selection bar to match the title width (or rather an x number of pixels on both sides) and the option to set a right position.

EDIT: I noticed too that there's a difference in font size and positions between Preview and Edit Mode. If I make the title label square exactly fitting with the text, the preview and the resulting DVD actually show the selection label sticking out. JPEGs:

Ok, not it is more clear.

So far, since the Visual Basic 6 graphical capabilities are quite poor, the Edit Mode cannot be 100% wysiwyg. Thus there will be always some differences in text display between the Preview Mode and the Edit Mode.

I understand that the process to create a proper DVD menu can be tedious, a sort of try-and-error path, but we have to manage it with AVStoDVD.

Suggestion:

Can we have a command option for "avisynth frameserving check on all titles (in currently loaded project)" ?
Would be handy for doing episodic videos or anything with more than one title.
Currently have to select each title (in currently loaded project) and check frameserve independently.

Also,
Can we have a GUI for a bitrate calculator?
Would be handy when I want to do sample testing.
For some bluray movies, I used avisynth/x264 lossless with some options to adjust visual presentation before converting to DVD.
I output sample videos to 10 minutes or less, so when I add video to AVStoDVD it gives me maximum bitrate for 10 minutes.
I have to manually input avg. bit rate. I currently use an online DVD bitrate calculator.
Code:
http://dvd-hq.info/bitrate_calculator.php
Thank you for your current progress

Ok, good suggestion. In the ToDo list.

Could you please elaborate better the requirements? I mean, what are the input fields? what is the output?

I suppose the same fields as the website illustrates for calculating bitrates. It seems to offer a lot of options for different circumstances.
I haven't been able to find a program that offers that much for free.

... hence a link to that website would be perfect ...

I would not duplicate anything free that already works.

The only thing he asks, if you use his code, is to link to his site.
