BatchMux plugin - MuxMan authoring with DVD2SVCD

Here it is the link to release 1.8 of the BatchMux plugin:

http://www.mediafire.com/?z7gj3lxlxg1

Quote:
1. What is BatchMux.zip ?
As the thread title say, it is a plugin to enable the usage of MuxMan inside DVD2SVCD.

2. BatchMux.zip contain a readme.txt file, describing with some details the steps to perform in order to install and use the plugin. The procedure is quite simple (setup DVD2SVCD to author with DvdAuthor, then point the three components Mplex, SpuMux and DvdAuthor to their hacked counterparts Mplex_hack, SpuMux_hack, DvdAuth_hack, included in the zip).

3. Enjoy DVD2SVCD with the authoring quality of Muxman !!!
- Thanks to Nick for its very very nice testing avi
- Thanks to manolito for the suggestions, the support, and the testing files.
- Thanks to the author(s) of DVD2SVCD for giving to the community this big, nice and and very complete backup suite!
- And finally a big thank you to Mpucoder: everybody all around here should be grateful to him for its enlightening contributions, discussions and great authoring program.

Edit 18-12-2007, Released version 1.8
- Unified the logic of the process for the different XXX2DVD modes
- Improved the code of acquisition for some parameters (movie length, framerate, pulldown flag) in order to be more robust in the scenarious of killing & resume of the XXX2DVD sessions.
- CAVEAT: quoting an appropriate warning, suggested by manolito, "If you really cannot resist to kill DVD2SVCD in the middle of a conversion and then resume with different settings, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN !"

Edit 17-09-2007, Released version 1.7
Changelog (all related to Mplex_hack.exe component):
- Celltimes.txt file is now used back as a single chapter point format
- FPS entries are now used to detect the correct framerate, instead of the TV system alone...
- In framerate conversions now NTSC sources have always 30 frames per second...
- Changed: one frame less reported by GetMovieFrames from ecl files...

Edit 27-08-2007, Released version 1.6
Changelog:
1. Refinements (of the Mplex_hack.exe component). Reworked the handling of chapter points in order to provide higher precision, especially in case of NTSC + pulldown sources.
2. BugFix (of the Mplex_hack.exe component). Under some circumstances audio delay parameters handling was NOK. The issue is now solved.
3. Trying to use a different file upload service - Mediafire... They claim no time limitation for uploaded files... Let's see...

Edit 20-06-2007. Released version 1.5
Changelog:
1. Bugfix (of the Mplex_hack.exe component). The proper support for sources needing pulldown was nok. Solved. Thanks to Fishman0919 for the bug report, the excellent testing and the very appreciated support... Many thanks to manolito and to Nick who gave significant assistance and contributions on the same (not trivial) issue.
2. Bugfix + improvement (of the Mplex_hack.exe component). Audio delay parameters, when present in the mplex command line, were completely unsupported, breaking the plugin. These are now supported and passed to the authoring stage. Again many thanks to manolito for raising the issue up.
3. Version alignement (of the BatchMux.exe component). Release 1.0 of BatchMux.exe is now adopted. Due to the lack of support for the older releases, it is recommended to adopt this newer version of the authoring wrapper...

Edit 23-04-2007. Released version 1.4
Changelog:
1. Bugfix (of the SpuMux_hack.exe component). The support for srt subs was nok. Solved. Thanks to bionic for the bug report...
2. Improvement (of the Mplex_hack.exe component). It should be now able to directly support encodings based on CCE. Now chapters file should be properly created in case of CCE+fixed chapters. Very little testing performed, but it should work... Many thanks to manolito for the contribution...
3. Version alignement (of the BatchMux.exe component). Release 0.8 of BatchMux.exe is now adopted. It should have no impact for DVD2SVCD users...

Edit 03-10-2006. Released version 1.3
Changelog:
1. Bugfix (of the BatchMux.exe component). One change introduced in release 1.2 lead to the incorrect production of the muxman script, happening when no chapters are present in the title. The situation is quite rare, but still easily possible, in the DVD2SVCD usage.
2. Another bug is related to the wrong parsing of the -vidmode argument, never used in DVD2SVCD.
3. Slight functional improvements in the usage of the DvdProducer argument.
All of the above points are related to release 1.2, so, whoever downloaded and used release 1.2 is invited to update the plugin to version 1.3. People who is happy with release 1.1 may avoid to upgrade, since version 1.1 is still valid and effective. Sorry for the trouble.

Edit 24-09-2006. Released version 1.2
Changelog:
1. Just changed (quite heavily) the BatchMux.exe component. Other components unchanged. Since all of the implemented modifications do not - hopefully - have any impact on the plugin functionnalities for DVD2SVCD, people who is happy with release 1.1 is not specifically asked to upgrade to 1.2...
