"Autodub" tool support Divx3/Divx4/Divx5/Xvid

[CruNcher]

@Dark-Cracker

do you have any report on the fixing of the problem i reported earlier, will it be fixed in the next version a update on that matter would be nice thx :)

[Dark-Cracker]

@cruncher
the save routine work well i don't really understand your matter. in fact if u want to edit your .avs file u need do it at the last step of the encoding, because if u change a setting in the filter tab your .avs file will be deleted , simply select your filters, edit your .avs file add your personnal settings, and select add job.

Ps: perhaps i have misunderstand your problem.

Bye.

@Dark-Cracker

oui je comprend a petit pout de fraçais ;)
ecrir ne c'est pas mon fort, mais j'aime bien parler :P
:(

Merci!

When other version of autodub...:D

take your time...

AND WHY NOT A GUIDE HERE IN DOOM9?!?!?!? :p the reference site in MPEG4

[anomiERIC]

Is the entire subtitles tab under construction? i tried it out last night and it did everything but the subtitles.

[Valky]

There wasn't nothing wrong with the subtitles-tab. I had already ripped my subtitles to srt format with subrip so I just loaded it to that tab.
After that I adjusted subtitles little bit lower to bottom edge and everything went flawlessly :)

[demonmagnet]

you know what would make this the ultimate tool. Network Encoding. I dont know if it would be feasible to implement but if your bored one day ;)

Autodub is an awesome tool i use if for all my rips. Great work!, Please continue development.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

i will perhaps try to made a project based on a part of autodub with the possibility to use in local arena network (based on the project made by akabob) and perhaps using avs2avi (who can resume an encode).
but for the moment i don't have much time :) i am actually finishing to improve the .ogm part in autodub and add the update for the divx5.0.4 & latest xvid build :)

stay tuned.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

a little version (still in BETA TEST) of Autodub (version 1.7.7) some bugfix and a better support of .OGM file

WARNING: i don't have (yet) updated the codecs. it's only to test the creation of .ogm file. still use divx5.0.2/3 or stable xvid build 17/02/03.

url : http://www.eclipsedvd.firstream.net/autodub/Autodub1.7.7b1.zip
(decompress in the directory and overwrite the old file).

sceenshot for ogm panel : http://www.eclipsedvd.firstream.net/autodub/ogmpanel.jpg

Changlog :
----------
- add a new panel for the "OGM File" Creation.
- support of chapters
- support of internal subtitle
- add movie informations.
- select language for audio/video/sub stream.
- now use ogmuxer v1.1a5
- improve the audio part and the audio job list.


BugFix :
--------
- problem with the bitrate if directstream copy of .ac3 file
- problem in the preview window with window using big font.


Greet :
-------
- Cyrius (for coding ogmuxer :) )


Plz can some people made some tests on the ogm part it will be great.
if no drawback found i will update the codec part (add support for divx 5.0.4 and Xvid latest build) and perhaps use avisynth 2.5.1

thank u for testing :)

All this work into OGM when matroska is so close;)

[majerle]

Hi Dark Angels !

ogmuxer is a great utility for muxing ogg ( Thanks Suyric !!!) and i thinks it is the right way for mux in autodub.

Two in wishlist:

1) support for divx 5.03xx
2) support for avisynth 2.51

I like the way gordianknot save codec settings, is proof to any change of shell in codec setting ( mean in xvid bframe_threshold, some day present some day not..., in alpha)

With avisynth 2.5x many filters must be removed or update, but the main filters ( decomb, laczos, convolution...) are updated to 2.5x.
And the speed gain is VERY interesting. ( probabily must switch from vdub to vdubmod)

The job queqe isn't fully functional.
The credits frames are remembered from d2v to d2v, and the Total file size of second avi is the same of first avi, even if input are differents.
And one time, the finishing avi have, at the same time, the two audio of different films.

Thanks Dark Angels for your job ! AutoDub is on the edge !

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

i have must finish to change the source code i have added the change using the registry i think normaly the next release will support all currect divx version (even v5.0.4) and of course all the Xvid build
:) :)

for the avisynth v2.5 i will try to add it i must of course change to add vdubmod support but it not sure included in the next version.
(i must find presets, made some tests....).

i will fix the reported bugs :) but i don't understand (sorry my english was not perfect :) ) this bug :

"And one time, the finishing avi have, at the same time, the two audio of different films".

plz could u try to re-explain me this problem ?

Ps: u can expect a new beta in few days :)

thank u :)
Bye.

[majerle]

"And one time, the finishing avi have, at the same time, the two audio of different films".

and my english is, al last, too bad for be understud. :rolleyes:

read this : 2 job ( and 2 differrent films), the second film (job two) have audio source from job one and job two ! (crazy !!!:scared: )

btw 5.03x and n-pass support ...
any news for subtitels ? (at least in ogm)

Thanks again !

Andres

[Dark-Cracker]

Hi,

another update :) much importante :)

Changelog :
-----------

- add support for Divx 5.0.4
- add support for latest Xvidbuild (koepi 05.04.03)
- use the registry to change settings now support ALL xvid build and ALL divx version.
- if u use the compressibilty test it will show u the :
[filesize at quantiser 2 (size for the first pass)
[estimated quantiser used
[an estimated width for better result
[a quality value for your encode (near 100%=> good quality)
[an the resize filter to use (bilinear, bicubic....)

- add in the xvid panel the chroma optimiser
- and the bframe threshold.
- add in the divx5 panel the Max bitrate to use for nth pass
- and the bitrate modulation used.
- improve a bit the autocrop

Bug fix :
- delay if u use 2 audio stream in .ac3
- error check on the extension used
- error check on the number of nth pas asked
- fix a problem with the autocrop
- clear the endcredits once u reopen a .d2v file
- disable .ogg audio output if u select .avi output

Link :
------
http://www.eclipsedvd.firstream.net/autodub/Autodub1.7.8_update.zip
(decompress and overwrite in the directory of v1.7.7)

and a little pack with all codecs needed for autodub (around 1.6 Mb) :
---------------------------------------------------------------
http://www.eclipsedvd.firstream.net/autodub/CodecPack1.0.zip

it will install :
-----------------
- divx 3.11
- divx 4.12
- divx 5.0.4 (with adaware clean)
- xvid (05.04.03)

- divx ;-) audio
- ogg dll encoder

this installer was totally based on the work of Eclipse (www.eclipsedvd.fr.st)

Plz could u try the compressibility test i need some feedback for the estimated values (suggested width/resize ...) could u try to made some tests ?

thank u :)

PS : next step : improve compressibility test, add avs editor, add support for avisynth v2.5.1

PS 2 : akabob have made for Autodub a light avs editor (based on it tool : AvisynthEditor v0.4 (www.lalternative.org)) it will be integrated in the next version.

Bye.
enjoy it :)

[silver_cpu]

I've noticed that Nth pass encoding tends to run one more pass than the number I've selected. Does this mean that it runs N passes after the first evaluation pass, or is this a bug in AutoDub?

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

for nthpass it's one pass more because it need a first pass for the nth and after the number of pass.
i will perhaps modifie this to avoid confusion.

Hi !!!

I am experiencing some problems with autodub 178 and divx 5.04.

The file size isn't respected ( in normal 2 pass, or 3 pass ) by a 10%

I have tested on short clip ( mp3 and ogg audio), and i think the prob is in audio size.

I tonight i will made a longer test ( road to perdition, a well compressible film).

BTW: i am using avisynth 2.51 and vdubmod ( from gordian package), and i have chanced the mpeg2dec with mpeg2dec3, some filters updated, the others no. ( it's fully functional, i made many backups with this configuration)

Andres

[silver_cpu]

Does anyone know of any way to speed up the encoding of interlaced material? I've noticed that with progressive (especially FILM) material, I get VirtuaDub framerates of about 15-20, averaging about 17 or so, but with interlaced material, I get rates of 8-10fps. This is a pretty big drop. I've tried using several different deinterlacing filters (GreedyHMA and decomb4.05 are so far my faves), but nothing seems too much faster than anything else. I've also tried leaving the material interlaced, and letting DivX encode it that way. Unfortunately, this is even slower than de-interlacing and then encoding, and often gives me jerky performance on high-motion scenes. Anyone from an NTSC country have any ideas?

Also, I've noticed a few small bugs with the resize filter and audio track insertion. First off, if you want to enable "smart crop," you have to understand that it may give you an aspect ratio error, but if you come back to it later, it may be different from the original value (ask me for more detail if you don't understand what I'm talking about). When I insert an audio track, I often want it normalized to 100% volume. When I do this, it greys out "set manual gain," which it should. However, if I want to add a second track, it keeps the 100% normalization but "set manual gain" is now un-greyed. Very small bug, but I thought you might want to know about it.

One last thing: what does the percentage in the compressability test mean? How is it to be used? Since most all of the documentation I've found is in French, I haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

PS: as a side-thought, I'm running XP on an AMD tbird 950, with 512megs of sdram. Also, does anyone reccomend (or advise against) upgrading my mp2dec to mp2dec3, or is that a risky procedure? What benefits would I be looking at, if any?

[Mango Madness]

deinterlacing is slow no matter how you cut it. I mean you are basically restructuring every frame in the movie and if you think that's a fast procedure then you are dead wrong. I'd just live with the performance you have, which isn't bad at all. Also be weary of the frame size as this will probably have the biggest impact on performance. Performance will increase slowly as optimizations are made to the codec and to the filters/avisynth.

I have a 1.3 ghz duron and quite frequently i'll drop down to 2-4 FPS with heavy filtering. So your performance is on par.

[silver_cpu]

Ok, that actually makes me feel better, though in a way not (man it takes forever to make backups, lol). I wanted to ask people, since there aren't any good collective FAQs on it, what do the avisynth filters in AutoDub do? I've tested out some of them, and I'm quite happy with the results of FluxSmoot (really about the only one I use, along with BlockBuster), but I'm wondering about the Anime/Cartoon filters. Do they really provide an advantage over the other filters? I haven't been able to notice them doing a better job, but maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Does anyone here know how to use the compressability test?

[majerle]

I have finish my test.
I was aiming at 590mb avi and 105mb mp3 ( as autodub display in codec settings).

When finished i had a 584mb avi and a 127mb mp3.

While the avi size is acceptable the mp3 size no. I encoded mp3 with the besweet bundle with autodub, and set a 128 vbr/hybrib gain.

here a strip of audiolog:
[01:52:07:712] Conversion Completed !
[01:52:07:712] Actual Avg. Bitrate : 158kbps
[00:18:44:000] <-- Transcoding Duration
Logging ends : 04/23/03 , 18:04:33.

The problem is the bitrate !!!
I could suggest to display in codec setting an audio size 5% bigger.

Probabily best solution is if autodub look at mp3/ogg audio done and set video codec in the way to fit total file size...

@silver_cpu

tryed the "Compressibily Test" button ?

Greetings

Andres

[anomiERIC]

Has anyone else noticed that gordianknot is like 3 times faster than autodub? whats the deal with this? i get 60 fps in gknot and average about 22 in autodub, doesnt matter what movie and i use the same settings for every movie (filters and whatnot i mean) the only changes i do from movie to movie are the resolution and file size, i still encode the audio seperately because ive also noticed that i can get a smaller size with gordian knot ive noticed too

[Mango Madness]

probably a result of newer avisynth and/or the way the avs script is setup.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

@majerle
i will add the posibility to adjust bitrate after audio encoding this will solve the problem (it's because it always strong to obtain the exact audio bitrate when u use VBR).

@silver_cpu
sorry there is not (yet :) ) a FAQ for autodub and the filters.
for the compressibility test it's the % of correct output size.
(it encode 5% of the movie and cacl if the final size will be near the desired size, keep a value beetween 60 and 80 % to obtain the correct output size.)

@anamiERIC
with which codec have u tested ? (my preset are more strong and need more time but give a better result :) ) use the default settings for the codec and use the same settings than gknot (same filter same resolution same bitrate, and same codec settings).
but for the moment autodub still use avisynth v2.0.8 who is a bit slower than v2.5.1

Bye.

[anomiERIC]

Ive used DivX 5.0.2, 5.0.3, 5.0.4, and now 5.0.5 which doesnt seem to work right

[Dark-Cracker]

autodub now work with ALL release of Divx (include 5.0.5) and all Xvid Release.

i will try to add optimisation for the P3/amd and P4 for switching beetween the different iDTC.

[Mango Madness]

feature request:

DTS decoding

use of LAME instead of besweet (input of wave file instead of ac3)

subtitles

matroska support

avisynth 2.51

Undot filter

update the xvid configuration to some of the newer settings proposed by Iago and Koepi.


thanks for the marvelous work.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

i have actually my exams but as soon as can find the time here it's the modifications i will add :

improve split
improve compressibility test
add matroska support
switch to yv12
improve filters part (undot filter of course :) )
add dts decoding
add .avi input (perhaps directshowinput also)
add .wav input

i will not add lame because actualy besweet work very nice have u some drawback with it ?

permanant subtitles are already working (using textsub/vobsub plugin)
next step is to add subtitle extraction using vobsub/subrip.

i have no see new thread on the xvid configuration by iago or koepi but if u have recommended settings feel free to post it :) i will integrate it (i will not add VHQ=1 because it very slow).

PS: a lot of people doesn't have see the posibility to save your own profils for audio or video (in the menu in the top of the windows select => "profils"=> save/load video/audio. it will create u a .prof file for video settings and .aud file for audio settings, if u create profils i will be happy to add it in the next release u can send me your file here : darkcracker@caramail.com think to use a clear name for exemple :

MovieName.1CD.999kbps.VHQ1.XviD.prof
or
Generical.DivX3.2CD.prof
or
OGG.VBR.192kbps.aud
....

but i will surely also add the posibilty to a direct download of the profil and the possibility to upload your profils.

stay tuned :)
Bye.

[ominte]

add dts decoding
Is this possible? I thought that because of the closed nature of the Dolby decoder that no one was able to decode DTS. If it is possible can anyone please point me in the direction of a program capable?

Sorry for my silly question, but where can I find these latest mod of Autodub?
In the site Dark Angel Batallion, I could only find 1.75 version, which says:
"Posted by dark-angel on Sunday, March 16 @ 08:27:54 PST (305 reads)"

Where can I find the latest file, even betas or alpha ones ?

Thanks in advance,

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

i have made a quick beta of the new autodub :) i am cleanning/rewritting some part of code so it's not yet a 100% working beta :) feel free to post suggestion, request in this thread :)

here are the changes :

- remove divx4 code
- remove wma audio codec
- replace divx3.11 by ffvfw-divx3 (yv12 support)
- now use vdubmod instead of vdub & nandub
- now use the official panel of each codecs
- use the registry key to change the settings of the codec (now work with all newest versions of the codec).
- fix & improve the split (much more accurate)
- improve the join for vbr mp3.
- add advanced settings of the codec
- added yv12 and avisynth 2.5.3 support
- add avisynth filters.

to do list :
-----------

- improve the endcredits support
- add the ogm support
- add the compressibility test
- i must add conditionnal filtering
- i must add He-aac audio with mkv support

for the moment there is not all the old functions (omg support, compressibility test ..) because i am cleaning and rewritting a part of the code but they will come back soon .

[demonmagnet]

Thanks for contining development of such a great tool. I use to change encoding methods about every month (seeing what was best)but i have been using your program for the last 9months and i am very happy with it. Your program is very easy to use but is also feature rich, two things that normally don't go together well. Keep up the great work. It is appreciated.

By the way when do you expect to release the next non-beta version?

[Dark-Cracker]

@demonmagnet

thank u very much for your post, i am always happy when i see an user who like my softwares :) . i think in less than 1 month the final version will be released (because i have some school exam before).
of course if i see some people are really interested by this version i will try to update the beta as soon as possible :) .

Ps: it will surely be the last version of autodub , i think there is no way the concurrents of (auto)GK can survive.

[B]Ps: it will surely be the last version of autodub , i think there is no way the concurrents of (auto)GK can survive. [B]

I hope you are WRONG .....

AutoGK is great software ! but Autodub gives us more choices ....

i personaly use GK for DVD->DivX/XviD, AutoGK i don`t use(i did try it) and autodub when i want 2 play with settings so i can clean my MPEG2 caps(dazzle II) or bad dvd encodes (older transfers (WWII movies)

;)
p.s.
hmm gotta update guide again :D THANX for new Autodub Version

=EDIT=
btw what was the reason for removing DivX 4.x ?
i like DivX 4.x because it is 100% legal to use with all features no stupid registration and/or SPYWAREZ :devil:

=EDIT END=

[Dark-Cracker]

i have remove it because it was not yv12 native :( so i have prefer remove it. and it was a bit old.

Ps: i am working on a codec pack with divx 5 and without gator :) 100% legal. but perhaps later i will add again divx4 :) or vp6 :)
