mencoder W32 builds

[sherpya]

I've made an experimental support for avisynth directly with mplayer/mencoder (no need for avs2yuv).
Can someone test it?
Binaries can be found here: http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php

If someone is intrested to the patch, please refer to cygwin mplayer mailing list

Seems to work (not the link), at least mplayer was able to play an AVS ok. Didn't try encoding anything.

In my PC avs2yuv needs about 20 % of cpu. So if the patch works, MeGUI should encrease encoding speed, would be great. Has someone tested this?

@ celtic_druid

should work with your mencoder then. If it increases speed, I need an explanation how to implement.

[celtic_druid]

Are you sure that some of that 20% isn't the AVISynth script processing?
It is implemented before compiling. So in terms of my builds you would have to grab the Athlon-64 compile that I did, as that is the only compile that I have done including the above mentioned patch.

To implement it yourself you would have to grab the mplayer source, the diff for AVISynth, patch it and then compile.

I use your P4 compiles :)

When I look at the processes in Task Manager there is avs2yuv with 20 % when I use MeGUI. Naturally without MeGUI and with mplayer alone it is not.

:stupid:

I have to wait for your compile. Thanks in advance.

It would be cool if someone mirrors celtic_druid's mplayer2005.01.14.Athlon-XP.7z . You know it's just IMPOSSIBLE to download anything from http://celticdruid.no-ip.com/xvid/mplayer/. How do you cope with this !? :confused:

[sherpya]

I've added k7 and p4 builds

To help celtic_druid out I have altered his URL. Anyone accessing his site should do so via http://celticdruid.no-ip.com.nyud.net:8090/xvid/ from now on. This URL works exactly the opposite of the URL he currently has. The more people request a file the faster it will transfer. It will take some time before it gets everything cached. But it will happen in a day or so.

no luck :( with

if needed i can provide decent mirror /msg me :cool:

[Neo Neko]

Works fine here. But as I said it could take some time. Right now the cache has to retrieve the files just like the rest of us. Which means it is getting slow transfers and timeouts like the rest of us. But each sucsessful file it caches and the more it is requested the faster it will load. So right now it is no better. But if enough people start to use it in a day or two we could see blazing speed compared to what we have now.

Hi there
I have a good news for all out there, trying desperately to get a mplayer/mencoder binarie form celtic_druid.
Provinding Sascha Sommer, the mplayer win32 developer that builds the official win32 binaries, with a building howto for x264 sourcecode and kindly asking him to link mencoder to x264 libraries brought this mail to mplayer-cygwin mailing list:
Hi,

I just uploaded a new package to
http://mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta.
Changes to the latest release version include.
- x264 encoding support
- audio device selection for ao dsound
- compiled with live.com support.

And of course quicktime dlls can now be installed into the codecs subdir just like the other codecs.
Enjoy,

Sascha

I have yet to vaildate, which revision of x264 he has used. Keep in mind that the official win32 binaries are not compiled on a daily base, and therefore compiling mencoder oneself is the best way to always have latest x264 development improvements available in your mencoder builds!
Official mplayer binaries can be downloaded from the link given above, the mplayers homepage
download section (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html), and that a documentation (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/info.html#docs), describing e.g. howto compile mplayer/mencoder yourself, is available there, too. Links to a html-version of the manpage, describing each and every option of mplayer/mencoder are linked at the same location.
Enjoy,

Hellfred

[celtic_druid]

Other thing is that the offical binaries with CPU runtime detection probably aren't as quick.

Have a look at sharktooth's forth post here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&postid=597330#post597330),
and esby's just above it, just for ffdshow, though.

hellfred

EDIT: Limited esby's mirrow content down to ffdshow.

[nirudha]

rather than a mirror of http://celticdruid.no-ip.com/ perhaps a bittorrent would be the way to go?

[hellfred]

I have yet to vaildate, which revision of x264 he has used
Now i know. Sascha Sommer has used rev 100 to build the libx264 and linked mencoder against it.

Hellfred

[celtic_druid]

bittorent would be no good as there are a large number of files, which means lots of torrents or a large one which most people only want a small percent of.

x264 is now upto R103 by the way with R101/102 only being VFW changes though.

Revision 103:
finish subpixel motion refinement for B-frames (up to 6% reduced size of B-frames at subq <= 3)

Hopefully once the mirroring is all sorted everything will be fine. Just means that a max wait of say 24hours between me putting a file up and it getting mirrored.

http://www.iti.uni-stuttgart.de/~bergmats/video_mirror/videotools/
offers both.

vow ! hail to the lemming ! :-))
i've checked your site but i was mislead by the dates.
many thx

would u refresh mpeg4iptools too? celtic's just released a 1.2.5cvs snapshot right before the line was cut :-)

mpeg4iptools from yesterday compile are missing. This is the mp4creator for b-frames. This is needed for AVC in MP4. Can you please add it? Celtecdruid wrote about it in this threat yesterday and bond still has it.

[708145]

Having an update orgy right now.
If something is still missing in say 10min. then complain.

Maybe a separate "CD mirror status" thread would be appropriate?

edit: I know the new MPC is still misssing. I will update it in a few hours.
edit2: It's all up to date ;)

bis besser,
Tobias

[JoeBG]

thanks, for me there is nothing missing. The most important tools are mplayer (mencoder), mpeg4iptools, gpac, x264 and mplayerc :)

[ewschone]

How much bandwidth is needed ? I might have some bandwidth to spare on a server that isn't getting that much use...

[Sharktooth]

i'm hosting all the CD files on my server (i already had to increase the max concurrent sessions...).
You can reach the files from celtic druid usual site: http://celticdruid.no-ip.com/xvid/
Happy downloading... if it shows an error just try again later (too many connections but the speed should always be very good).
I will move the files again to a less "crowded" server as soon as i can :)

EDIT: Files moved. happy downloading.

In my PC avs2yuv needs about 20 % of cpu. So if the patch works, MeGUI should encrease encoding speed, would be great. Has someone tested this?Actually, avs2yuv decodes every frame to uncompressed yuv. That decoding has to be done, be it in avs2yuv or in mencoder with the AviSynth input support. Hence, the speed difference without avs2yuv should be minimal. Direct AviSynth support could make MeGUI simpler, but considering that mencoder's heritage, I doubt AviSynth support will ever be officially added.

[video_magic]

I had asked for a Pentium 3 CVS build of mencoder at http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php

and Gianluigi Tiesi has very kindly provided a p3 build of both Mplayer and Mencoder there :) . I am testing the mencoder build ATM
