A request for DVD2AVIdg

[SILICON]

Hi Donald A Graft,

In a command-line mode is important make a log file. I suggest add one to DVD2AVIdg.

Add a command-line parameter -log=[d:\MyProject\DVD2AVI.LOG]

I suggest:
DVD2AVIdq v1.77.3dg1.0.0RC2 by Donald A Graft.
----------------------------------------------
Aspect Ratio = 16/9
Frame_Rate = 25 fps
Video Type = PAL
Frame Type = Progresive
Video Long = 65500 frames
Audio Format = DD 3/2 448
Process time = 5:34
Process OK
(note that is the info of the "Information" window.)

Report too the fails and issues in the log. By example, if can´t decode the fist frames (because have BB before a P frame) tell in the log.

Is a good idea?
Is hard to make?

Thanks.

I don't think it would be that hard to make this mod, but unfortunately Don is on a sabattical at the moment and we don't know when he'll be back, so you'll just have to wait and see.

Two months later ...

Don return of his sabattical time?

I hope that add this feature.

Thanks.

I'm baaaaa...ack!

Tell me how this feature would help you. The more persuasive you are, the more likely you are to get it. :)

Welcome back Don. We've missed you. :)

[neuron2]

Thanks, hakko, I missed you too. :p

Log file generation is now on my worklist.

Right now, stepping backwards across a VOB boundary has me pulling my hair out. The navigation code sucks! :angry:

Sorry Don, I figured the VOB boundary problem would be an easy fix...an improperly set pointer or something.

Also, just wanted to point out that the log that I listed actually logs more info that the one proposed in this thread. I just figured if youre going to make a log, might as well log the entire configuration. Especially since there really aren't that many options to log.

I wonder if it would also be useful to log the frame numbers of each GOB and their Open/Closed condition?

[neuron2]

Don't be sorry, Cy. It's a serious bug, and bugs should be squashed. Well, software bugs anyway; I like spiders, the bigger the better. I know, they're not insects, but perhaps still bugs. I digress.

When I get to the logging issue, I will solicit input for a specification.

Your feedback has been and continues to be highly useful.

I found a spider in my back yard last year whose *body* was 3 inches long and at least half-an-inch in diameter! Long, black and sleek. He looked extraordinarily aggressive, but he was dead. Drowned in the dogs water bowl. I showed him off for a few days and even people who like spiders shrank back from him.

My friends call me Cyb.

Re-Welcome :-)

I use one program for automate the conversion. If i have a log, I can test if the DVD2AVI process are OK or not.

The extra info can give me more data for process the file.
For example, if the Aspect ratio is 16:9, i can convert it to 4:3 in automated mode.
