DoItFast4U! v.1.1.1 is now available at http://doitfast4u.doom9.org/DoItFast4U.v.1.1.1.exe.
(I've changed my versioning style. Next final will be 1.2.0.0, betas will be 1.1.x.0, and sub-betas will be 1.1.x.y (if needed).
Changelist:
Additions:
Added PGC Streams to the DVD Structure for a better understanding of the DVD.
Audio stream list shows <not used> if the audio stream does not in fact exist, and those corresponding streams are greyed..
Filenames for VOBID demux are now in the form of VTS__05_V02-81-448K-[-66ms]-ch6English.AC3
Calc now more accurate for multiple-Main-movie DVDs.
Added option to check for updates on the web!
Progress bar and new percentage display now accurate while creating VIDEO_TS folder.
Implemented AC3 and DTS Delay Correction (Thanks to Daniel Ache, and his marvelous AC3 Delay Corrector coding).
Checking a VTS checkbox in the DVD Structure now changes the current selection to that VTS.
PGCs are now not checked by default if the VTS isn't checked (more of a normal behavior).
Right clicking opens the correct *.ifo file in IFOEdit even if user doesn't left click first.
DVD Structure entries are highlighted while demuxing to show user what PGC is currently being processed.
VOBID demux now does one pass for video/audio, and bitrate calculations now enabled for VOBID Demux.
Log window enlarged for easier viewing.
Global Options>Other Options replaces Audio Options, now giving you access to three thresholds.
1 . Encoding Theshold 2. Vobsub Threshold 3. Main VTS Proximity Threshold
Default AVS now uses Decimate(mode=1,threshold=50) for better output. (use 'reset avs' button to autochange it to this).
Autodetect NTSC is now Global, not VTS-specific anymore.
Added Global Options>Autoselect All Angles for this DVD.
ForceFilm/IVTC/Deinterlace now mutually exclusive.
CCEData.txt now has correct max bitrates for each VTS, instead of using the same max bitrate for all extras.
CCE Recommended values now displayed per VTS in the log window.
Deinterlace no longer requires IVTC to be checked (mutually exclusive functions!)
Added threshold for ac3 delay correction for users that only want to use it if a large delay exists. (Default 40ms)
DVDCalc now has several DVDR sizes to choose from.
PCM/MP2 demux now fully supported, max bitrate now takes their bitrates into account, and the streams display has been corrected to display their Stream IDs too.
Added ability to select between 3 different encode modes (RoBa, Multipass, and One-Pass).
Added support for avisynth 2.08/2.5/2.51... The reset to default button for avs scripts will now autodetect and pick the appropriate lines to use in your avs script.
All NTSC .AVS scripts that do not need pulldown run after encoding now have 'nopull' automatically added to them.
PGC Demux with 'all angles' only demuxes audio for first angle now (subsequent angles use the same audio/sub streams)
Added "Empty Directories before Demuxing" option to menu.
User is now prompted to create directory when starting DoItFast4U if the last working directory doesn't exist.
Audiostream list now shows number of channels per stream.
Readded the auto-expand/collapse feature to the DVD Structure (I liked it, and others seemed to also!)
Added checkbox for "Detect/Correct Corrupt AVS Scripts" in case users have a script that DIF4U doesn't like, but want to keep it.
Added some CLI entries for use in preparation for integration with a menu compression utility. (coming soon)
Main executable is no longer compressed, resulting in much less memory usage while running (old version used 210MB, new version 7MB!).
Integration with ReAuthorist 0.6.0.7+ if so desired (Straight passthru to DoCCE4U still supported).
New improved Help file (Check it out!)
Rename now Renames .IFO and .BUP in Pulldown/Rename Dialog Box. (Popular request).
Demux now skips blank (00:00:00.00) PGCs when demuxing.
Added Ability to Force all frames to progressive in Pulldown function (User with a donation had a request for this)
Changed update to use FTP instead of HTTP, and added passive mode option for intranet compatibility.
Corrected the behavior of the External Post-Processing menu items
DVD2AVI not invoked if directory already has the corresponding *.d2v file (multiple sessions can now demux to same dir easier).
'Empty Directories' ignored if user is in "C:\", User now prompted before Working Directory is deleted.
Added Refresh button for DVD Drive.
Bugfixes:
Bug fixed where CCE Chapter list was not forced to output with DVDDec 3.1.4.0.
Trailing '\' character is eliminated from Working Directory, avoiding '\\' in CCEData.txt paths.
Fixed the weird characters that occurred in certain boxes with a fresh install!
"Do Not Process Subtitles/CC" setting now saved from previous session.
Fixed uninstall bug where right click explorer shortcut wasn't being unstalled from the registry.
Pure Interlacing now uses the Pure Interlaced AVS script.
VOBID demux now has Aspect Ratio in filename (DVDDEC didn't include it so I coded it in myself!)
Corrected shortcut in the Start Menu for uninstal.exe.
Subtitle-Based Changes:
Subs now detected more accurately.
Vobsub speed dramatically increased!
Modified Cell ID Subtitle Demux for more accuracy.
Subs are now put into separate subdirectories for every stream (BBWoof's idea to improve import speed!)
New version of vobsub2scc added that eliminates chance for false/corrupt .sccs. (Thanks McPoodle!)
Empty sub directories are now deleted.
Sub processing now ignores subs that start before the first frame.
PGC Demux with 'all angles' skips subs demux for angles > 1.
Known Issues:

Note: After the release of this version, only members of the DoItFast4U! V.I.P. list will receive updates when new betas have been released. I will not being posting notices after releasing betas here in the forum (at least on a normal basis). I feel this is only correct, as it rewards those that have opted to donate, or have contributed in another way (Webmasters, coders writing apps to be used with DIF4U, etc) in the only way I really can reward them.
Betas will still be available via the updater, and on the betabot, just not announced here.
Ongoing support of the betas will continue in this thread as usual.

Not entirely sure if these are entirely, or at all DoItFast4U 1.1.1's doing as so far it has happened with only two projects. What the hell though, I'll post it anyway :p .
On my latest projects (Region 4 PAL version of Bad Company and Minority Report) using the big three I've noticed these quirks;
1) After demuxing the Minority Report, I noticed once I mounted the demux folder with ReAuthorist 6.2 that there was an AC3 dummy file in there at 0x81. The weird thing is that after examining the IFO in IFOedit there is no AC3 track on 0x81 in the original movie, and indeed when I look at the VTSes to be demuxed in DoItFast4U there is no AC3 track listed on 0x81. I can get around it easily enough by just deleting the dummy, just have no idea why it's created in the first place. Weird :confused: .
2) Again after demuxing the Minority Report, I noticed once I mounted the demux folder with ReAuthorist 6.2 that there was no DTS soundtrack listed, but there is most definately one in the origial movie. It appears this was caused because DoItFast4U 1.1.1 didn't name the DTS track correctly, so ReAutourist 6.2 didn't pick it up. As with my fist problem, this is very weird as out of the two movies I've demuxed and am in the process of re-authoring with the DoItFast4U 1.1.1 and ReAuthrourist 6.2 combo, this is the only one displaying these quirks.
3) The biggest problem I've had so far is with the dummies (hence topic title :p)which I haven't had before. PGC 2 in VTS 1 on both movies are very short, 18 frames for Bad Company, and 1 second for the Minority Report and are replaced with dummy scenes by DoItFast4U. The problem is that when going to author my DVD's I'm given a "Scene duration must be 0.4 second" error, and then Scenarist aborts the process. I didn't have time to check the scene durations in my lunchbreak, but I'm imagining that they are 00:00:00:00. Any idea why this would happen?
Eyes`Only
15th May 2003, 07:51
2) I've reviewed my code and can find no clues as to why this would occur. Do you have that DVD available for more testing? I'd like a log file from a demux.
1 and 3) Most definitely ReAuthorist related, and not caused by DoItFast4U!. As a general note, DoItFast4U! never creates dummies. All it does is demux what exists. I'd repost in RA's forum (now that it isn't a begging forum).
brashquido
15th May 2003, 08:06
2) Yeah I do, I'll rar & e-mail it to you tonight when I get home.
1 & 3) Aha! Makes sense. During my last demux I should've checked the demux folder before trying to mount it in RA and I would've seen this. Thanks.

Eyes` only,
Just tried the latest version of DIF4U and the problems with strange characters in the CCE Passes, and also in Bitrate for extras has been fixed, but still have issues re firewall, but what the heck I'll download it manually.
Also, this is the first time I used DoCCE4U because it now supports CCE V2.66.+, I notice that the maximum bit rate for the Video track is 9800-total audio bitrates. However, the total combined bitrate allowed is 10000bps. In the past, I was able to encode the video with a bitrate of (10000-total audio bitrates) with out any problems, I can even add 2 extra sub-titles stream to the track without Scenarist complaining the bit rate is too high.
Could you please confirm this and if I'm correct, please add an extra 200bps to the CCEdata.txt file for the video stream in your next beta releases.
Eyes`Only
15th May 2003, 19:08
You are correct, technically the allowed bitrate is 10.08MB/s. I chose to go with 9800 for many reasons, most of which have to do with bitrate spikes and leaving a margin for error. I can include an option to use the full 10.08 if you want, but I don't know how much I recommend this. Plus, you'll notice most commercial DVDs have an ABR of 4500-6500 originally, with a couple spikes here and there. A change of 200 bitrate is another change I feel will not be noticeable, but I'll make the change and let everyone decide for themself.

Eyes` Only,
In your DIF4U guides, your recommended method was to create an image of the original DVD and mount the image then use DIF4U on the image, and you also said vobsub might not work properly if we use the original DVD. Is that still the case? Because I want to get rid of that step to save a bit of time and space (I got a notebook, and the space is limited on the notebook) if the process is now reliable to use DIF4U straight from the Original DVD. Also how often does did problem with vobsub occurs?
Eyes`Only
16th May 2003, 03:52
Vobsub seems to have a bit more of an issue with finding CSS keys than DVD Decrypter, which is where you'll run into a problem.
For the time being there's a second reason to use the isomount method. If you don't the VIDEO_TS created by DIF4U will be encrypted, as the files are copied directly from the source you specify.
Oh and a third reason. All the repeated passes of DVD Decrypter will play hell on your DVDRom drive.
Trust us, it's just better to isomount.

I may have found kinda bug:
When highlighting an already processed VTS in the DVD Structure, while another one is actually being processed, DIF4U jumps back to process again the VTS which is located after the highlighted VTS, after it has finished processing the actual one.
Example:
- DIF4U processes VTS07 actually
- I highlight VTS03 in the structure to take a look in the Ifo with IfoEdit (just for fun :) )
- After finishing VTS07 it jumps back to process VTS04 again (yeah, right, 04 not 03!)
- it demuxes again audio and m2v, but names it in another way
Unfortunately I don't have a log, 'cause I forgot to check that.
So better do not click around in the structure while DIF4U is still processing or maybe Eyes ΄Only can fix that issue :)

Suggestion for future versions:
A setting to choose which audio languages and subs should be checked by default automatically. Unselected languages in this setting will not automatically be checked for demuxing.
IC7 has a similar possibility, but there it works the other way. You can check the languages and subs you DON'T wanna keep by default.

Hi, thanks for the great program... I'm so glad to be able to make QUALITY backups of my DVD's!!
I have a feature request that would be nice for a lot of people. Can DoItFast4U automatically rip and mount the ISO from the DVD-ROM (without having to do this step manually)?? Just saves some processing time (If I'm in a rush, I don't want to wait for the DVD to rip).
THANKS AGAIN!
Eyes`Only
22nd May 2003, 02:23
Couple of things that stand in the way of that request. Ripping to .iso would be easy. Mounting, not so easy. I don't think any mounting utilities have CLI interfaces. And second, if it DID mount, how would DIF4U know what drive letter it was?
I don't think it's possible at this time.
jerschwab
24th May 2003, 05:51
Okay, no problem... it would be a good feature for DVDDecrypter though wouldn't it??
ShaneZ
24th May 2003, 18:27
Well, it would require commandline functions for DVDDec and whatever ISO mounting daemon you were using as well. I agree that it would be time-saving, just highly unlikely at the moment.
Another down side to integrating more software that you don't have control over is if something happens to one piece of software it could make the whole system unusable.
Of course, i am paranoid :D

Eyes` Only,
I was using DIF4U to demux "007 die another day" movie a couple of days ago, and it was so slow :eek:
The movie has 2 angles, so I have to demux by vobid, there are 59 vobs for the main movie and 2 tracks of english subtitles. Running on my P4 2.2 Gigs with 512Megs of RAM the whole process took more than 30 hours to demux the main movie VTS.
Looking thru the logs, I realised the slowest part of the whole process is the step where, for each vobid, DVD Decrypter go thru the whole VTS set to extract the subtitles (and It tooks more than 24 hours just to do this part alone.) Is there any other ways to speedup this process?
Is it possible that when demux by vobid, DVD decrypter, extract the vob(including all subs and sound tracks) into separate files, and then to demux the sound track and subtitles for individual vobid, it only need to read that particular file for that vobid, instead of going thru the whole movie each time?
In DVD decrypter, in the "IFO mode setting" there is the option of splitting the file by vobid or even cell id, can this option be utilised to speed up this process?
Eyes`Only
28th May 2003, 06:50
Not sure I understand what you mean, as DVD Decrypter doesn't demux subs unless you check the RAW .subs checkbox.
Xitrum
28th May 2003, 07:12
I didn't have time to go thru the log thoroughly, as the thing still running this morning when I left home for work, but while it was running last night, I saw on the DIF4U log screen that for each vobid, DVD decrypter was going thru the whole movie and doing some work, and as you know it took about half an hour for DVD Decrypter to go thru the movie, so for 59 vobid, it took a long time.
I hope that I ticked the option to save a log file in DIF4U, if I did, I'll send the log file for you to have a look at tomorrow.

2nd June 2003, 01:31
Eyes` Only,
I was ambitious and want to keep the exact structure as the original DVD, but since then I ran into another problem with multi-angle and abandonned the process. However, I got a couple of question to ask you:
1. How would you put a multiangle DVD back together in Scenarist, if demuxed by vobids and the individual vob file for the individual angle has their own sound tracks (ie. they don't have the same common sound track for angle 1 and angle 2)? Does this means I have to demux them at the Cell level, to be able to assigned different sound track to different cells?
2. After the first attempt, I tried to demux with the 'All angles' option unticked, but the subtitles came out with incorrect timing:confused: . So in the end, I used IFOEdit to remove the angle, then used nero to create a Nero image, then mount the Nero image and then use DVD Decrypter to make an ISO image from a Nero image, then used DIF4U to demux. I found this process is very tedious, is there a quicker way of approaching these multiangle DVDs?
3. Supposed that the subtitles came out with correct timing (with the "all angles" option unchecked), and after reauthored the DVD in Scenarist, which option I should use in IFOUpdate to update the original IFO file, as the original IFO have multiangle, but the newly authored IFO only has one angle?
Also I just want to alert you to another interesting point that I noticed, when I demuxed the movie by vobid and retained the other angles, I found that after CCE, the total size of all the .mpv files of all the 59 vob are more than 5Gigs even before the reauthoring process? So the sizing calculation has gone wrong somewhere. However, I never had this problem if I demuxed by PGCs before.
Eyes`Only
2nd June 2003, 02:38
1. I didn't even know it was possible to have separate audio for each angle, so I have no idea!
2. Not sure. Good question. Maybe others know?
3. No special settings needed.
I wonder if there's more overhead for angles? I'll have to look into this.
Xitrum
2nd June 2003, 03:31
1. This movie is not really a "multiangle DVD" but it's similar to a "button over video" movie. But in a normal "Button over Video" movie a symbol appears while you're watching the movie and you click on that symbol, and it take you to a different VOB sets where it shows you the making of that particular scene. This movie is similar, but the actual "making the movie" scene is the other angle, and it included in the movie VTS set. So if you select the option in the menu to watch these "making the movie" scenes then when the movie comes to that part where there are multiangles, then instead of showing you the movie, it actually showing the making of the movie and of course this scene have different sound track compare to the scene for the movie.
2. It would be nice if you can perfect the HD Demux options of DIF4U so it can demux the file from the HD as if it was from the virtual DVD, then all these steps are eliminated.
I don't think it is currently possible to reauthor complex multi angle titles like Die Another Day. See also http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=53429
Eyes`Only
3rd June 2003, 18:06
From what you describe, I would assume there are multiple audio tracks for the whole VTS, and a GPRM tells the player which one to play for each angle. In this case, You'd author each angle with all audio tracks, just like the original. Like I stated before, I don't think it's possible to have different audio in different tracks that aren't available to all tracks.

Well, I was counting on influenza in that thread, he seemed to be very familiar with Scenarist (I'm not at all). But since he didn't manage it, I figured they possibly used something not even available in Scenarist. Note I said "don't think it's currently possible" and not "impossible" :) I'd very much appreciate any additional hints. Thanks!

Eyes` Only,
Yes there are more than one audio tracks (from memory there were 4, for the movie, there were 1 DTS and AC3 tracks, for directors comments there were 2 audio tracks), but the thing is when extracted by vobids, the movie sound tracks (DTS and AC3) of angle 1 are different from the movie sound track for angle 2 ( I did not check the Director's comment sound track for angle 1 and 2, but I assumed they would be the same). So if I have to put all the tracks back for angle 1 and 2 (ignored the 2 identical director's comments sound tracks), all the vob with multiangles will have 2 sound tracks more than vob with only one angle. (Ofcourse I can use dummy sound track for other vobs to force Scenarist to reauthor the movie, but these extra sound track will have different address, which did not existed in the original DVD)
I don't think that this is the case as the address for these extra sound track were not in the original DVD, so the DVD player can't call them.

I just noticed that AviSynth V2.52 is officially release! :)
Does DIF4U works with this new version or you haven't got time to test it out yet?
Also, a friend of mine just lend me an Original copy of the Matrix Region 1 DVD. I've been reading a got of threads in the forum that said Matrix is probably the hardest movie to backup, so I was curious and wanted to see the structure of the movie. However, when I put it into the DVD drive of my computer, windows NT or W2K did not display the AUDIO_TS or VIDEO_TS folders, all it can see is the "Autoplay.exe" file. However, when I tried to view it in DVD Decrypter, DVD Decrypter was able to read the files and displayed the structure. However, I can't see the structure in details using IFOEdit, as IFOEdit can't see the file either.
After make an iso image of the DVD using DVD Decrypter, I tried to see whether Instant Copy can see the structure, but again IC can't see the files either.
Do you know whether it's possible to view the files in Windows?
What technique did they used to hide the files from windows?

I'm running DoItFastForU v1.1.1.0 on a win2k system with one pioneer dvr-104 drive in it, and the latest version of DVDDecrypter (3.1.6.0 i think) and the latest daemon tools (3.33).
I used dvddecrypter to make an iso which I then mounted with daemon tools, and DoItFastForU saw the virtual drive with no problems. Then, later on when I hit Doit, Dvddecrypter started up and just got stuck with the message "scanning for SCSI/ATAPI devices" - it wasn't able to find the virtual dvd drive for some reason. I've never had any problems with Dvddecrypter before, so I tried a few things- and what finally wound up working was running an instance of DVDDecrypter first and letting it find all my drives, then hitting the Doit button in DoItFastForU ran another instance of DVDDecrypter which immediately found the virtual dvd drive and proceeded with the demuxing process..
It looks like a DVDDecrypter problem maybe, but do you have any ideas why it couldn't find the virtual drive unless there was another previous instance of DVDDecrypter running in the background that had already found all the drives? (I later closed the original instance of DVDDecrypter and didn't have any further problems with DVDDecrypter when it did further processing in VTS_01, but when it was opened up to process VTS_02 I again had to open up another instance of it to get things working.

Are you using the ASPI method to find drives in DVD Decrypter? Try NTIO. ASPI works off of a different system than 'drive letters', so when DoItFast4U! goes to tell DVD Decrypter what drive to use, DVD Decrypter gets confused.
orandennison
7th June 2003, 03:33
hmm. I've just been using what DVD decrypter's default was for my computer: SPTI, is that the same as NTIO? I don't see NTIO listed there as an option under DVD decrypter's I/O settings. My options are: ASPI, ASAPI, SPTI, and ElbyCDIO.
Eyes`Only
7th June 2003, 03:54
Yes SPTI. I guess he changed it a while back and I forgot the new nomenclature. :D If you did have it on SPTI already, then I don't know what could be the issue. Might have to contact the author of DVD Decrypter (Light_UK)

I never clicked all angles before as I was told that it causes some problems.
However I want the FULL dvd back-up so went for it (subs included + all audio tracks etc..)
However when It moved on vts 1 pgc2 angle 2 it came up with an eoorr I stupitly didn't write down!
It was something like - error parsiin parameter file.(that sounds right)
Any info??? By nthe way this dvd is a hell of an easy encode!! The menu is only 1 mb in size!! The bitrate for the main movie when I am encoding it comes to over 5000!!! However this dvd causing more hassel then hell (have you seen my docce4u bug :-( ).

Baker,
Strange. That error only occurs when I tell vobsub to rip subs that aren't there. It used to happen when there was no angle in the VTS, but recent versions of it are supposed to be ignoring the angle if there is none present, not erroring. At any rate, just hit OK and let it continue normally with the rest of the demux and everything should be fine.
I use the all angles switch myself a lot (just for testing, usually!) and for some reason I don't see this error. Hmm...

14th June 2003, 00:29
What probably is happening is that the angle2 cells don't have subs, in which case you'll be fine. Many times the extra angles are just words on the screen in another language. In those cases, if no one is speaking, you'd have no subs for angle2. Angle1 would have subs just because it includes the non-angle cells too.
If it turns out that there actually was a problem, there were subs there, and you do end up missing subs, I'll investigate it further.

Based on theory of mpeg2 streams, it seems that we are not going to be able to figure out I vs. P by any type of high-level analysis. We are looking at some low-level analysis methods, but no promises. The problem is that PAL doesn't contain any real indicator flags to state progressive content. Every app is seeing it as interlaced for a reason. Because all the flags in it are stating interlaced, it doesnt have any RFF flags, etc.
The important thing at this point is to get BFF/TFF detection working. And from what I can see we don't even have that yet! :confused:

So how do I activate the new v1.1.6 Dual Frame Diaganosis?
I went under Global Options > Other Options and
under Stream Diagnosis there is two choices plus off.
Which should one should I select for NTSC dvds? Header Flag or Frame Diagnosis?
thanx.

For NTSC, I'd suggest Frame Diagnosis, for PAL, Header diagnosis.

Newbie ques... what is dual frame diagnosis? Does that have anything to do anything with the movies (like Titanic) that rapidly switch back and forth from progressive to interlaced?

No.
It's inaptly named, now that it is morning and I take another look at it.
There are two diagnoses in 1.1.6 to determine Interlaced/Progressive, yet only one to determine TFF/BFF (Frame diagnosis).
Selecting Header tells DIF4U to use the result of the I/P flag read from the header into the filenames.
Selecting Frame tells DIF4U to use the result of the frame diagnosis interlaced/progressive testing for the filenames.
(This really isn't stuff for a n00b, which is why it's for my beta testers.)

I'm trying to rip a Queen (the rock band) Greatest Flix DVD and trying to create a D2V/M2V and AC3 combo for each track. However, when I use DIF4U and select Demux by CellID, it only creates the D2V/M2V files, and one single AC3 track for all 19 songs.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Robert

valnar,
that issue is being caused by code needed for the old version of dvddec, I've fixed it and it'll be in the next update.
