[VirtualDubMod] CVS 11/06/2003

[Suiryc]

Hello people, as often requested we present the latest bugfixes and new features in a CVS release, meaning you have to download the latest full package (1.5.1.1a) and overwrite the .exe and .vdi file with those provided in the CVS relese zip.

Some points out of the changelog we want to highlight:

• The special AviSynth.dll from our project page is gone since the code is now part of the official code base (>= 2.5.2)
• There is a new control for preferences setup. This is currently in testing stage so the 'old' preferences pages are still there.
• Some of the VirtualDubMod specific preferences (all except Matroska ones actually) have been moved in their own registry key (Matroska ones already had their key). Thus those settings are reseted to default values. Be sure to choose again your preferences if needed.
• [Edit by Belgabor]Please read my comment in the next post[/EDIT]

Now for the complete changelog:

Belgabor:
- Fixed I18N not working in HexViewer
- Fixed I18N/p18 related bugs in VirtualDub.rc
- OpenGL32.dll and Glu32.dll for the about box are now loaded dynamically.
  This may speed up loading of VirtualDubMod and reduce memeory cost.
  (Well, as long as you don't open the about box ;) )
- Fixed P4 build. LibEBML doesn't work with the Intel compiler, so its compiled 
  with the normal M$ one.
- Added "LoadAviSynth(string path)" to sylia functions.
- Since AviSynth 2.5.2 the special code to allow coloring of external plugin 
  commands is part of the offical codebase. Therfore the special avisynth.dll that
  was available from our page will be removed.
- New icon, designed by mf.
- Updates to the script editor:
    * Added a new mode to the script editor for Decomb override files. So far this is 
      nothing special, except ranges are copied with "," like for the Avisynth 
	  handling (also see next point). Requests are taken for improvements =).
      This mode is auto-set for the extensions ".tel", ".fb" and ".dec".
    * The 'None' mode in the script editor now pastes ranges with "-".
    * Filenames can now be inserted with a nice file open dialog. In 'None' mode they
	  are inserted as-is, in AviSynth mode with "'s around them.

Cyrius:
- Fixed a bug that would multiply the number of audio streams coming from the
  opened video file when using the Refresh feature.
- Fixed bug not showing properly the video panes when opening via AviSynth.
- Fixed crash when opening via AviSynth without using a script.
- Fixed bug reseting the frame position to 0 when refreshing.
- Really added the SaveMKV functions for Sylia (better for batch mode :p).
- Fixed ending crash when compressing to MP3 inside VirtualDubMod.
- Fixed bug where disabled streams would still be written in the Job file.
- Quick fix (seems to work) for the program crashing when being called with
  the /x commandline options, and when the input file is in YV12 (i.e.
  generally an avs file).
- Fixed bug generating invalid OpenDML (>2GB) AVI files introduced in 1.5.1.1a
  when using audio streams.
- Fixed a bug (generally a crash) when reading Matroska files in CBR mode
  (e.g. 'Preview' instead of 'Preview VBR')
- Externalized the modified resize filter (the one based on and replacing the
  internal VirtualDub resize filter in 1.4.x versions of VirtualDubMod).
  Fixed some bugs in it as well :)
- Coded an extended TreeView control for the Preferences.
- Added support of 'rec' lists when writing AVI files (similar to AVI-Mux GUI).
  Finalization of AVI files takes some time when using this option.
- Updated libebml/matroska to latest versions (fixed some memory leaks).
- Fixed some memory leaks in Matroska support.
- Fixed bug preventing VDubMod from accepting AC3 files with a bitstream
  version lower than 8 (current specs version is v8).
- Fixed some crashes when reading mkv files (demuxing / transmuxing, ...).
- 'Interleaving' item of the 'Audio' menu is now accessible to subtitle streams
  when right-clicking in the stream list. Allow to change the stream offset.
- Fixed some bugs in the Matroska support.
- Matroska files with unknown audio tracks (unhandled IDs) are now accepted.
  Those tracks will only remain valid when being remuxed in a Matroska file.
- Added an option (Preferences) to speed up Matroska reading in VirtualDubMod.
  This requires more memory but Matroska reading part is 5x faster.
- Fixed another crash in the CBR reading code of Matroska files.
- Lowered a bit memory consumption when parsing OGM/MKV files (<10% gain).
- Moved VirtualDubMod preferences in its own registry binary entry to prevent
  any future conflict with VirtualDub (in case Avery Lee adds preferences).
  Nb : those settings have thus been reseted to default values. Matroska prefs
  were already in a separate registry entry and aren't reseted.
- Added audio clipping settings in the 'Interleaving' window, which allow to
  have different settings for each track. Changing those settings in the
  'Video->Select range' window (which show you the default values when adding
  a new track) will apply it to all streams.
- Fixed bug with matroska support where we would write wrong audio IDs ^^; ...

You should find this version here

Have fun =)

Edit : update bugfix (see below) with other bug fixes

[Belgabor]

Attention

Matroska files muxed with this new version only work with the newest DSF from the matroska page or Gabests DSF!
The reason for this is that now framerate is handeled diffrently in matroska files, BUT THIS DOES NOT BREAK OLD FILES! Just new ones don't work with the old DSF.

Cheers
Belgabor

Thanks!

Downloading while I still can...

Some other bugs fixed in new bugfix release (2003-06-11).

- Fixed rare bug where MP3 streams in AVI may be read as using Nandub tricks
  while they don't (thus leading to out-of-synch issues when editing).
- Fixed bug with AVI 'rec' lists (last one not being properly closed).

[frodoontop]

I tried to mux a XVID-video stream, 1 ogg-audio-stream and 2 .srt subtitle files to matroska, while splitting after 695MB.

It happens to be that in the first part subtitle 1 is muxed and in the second part subtitle 2. The subtitle isn't split eather, so the second part is subtitled with text belonging to the first part.

BTW: It really works now to have longer audio than video. Thanks for that!

<EDIT>Don't know what went wrong first time. Have no problems now, only with seeking the subtitles arent in sync anymore.</EDIT>

which filters did you use to watch the subtitles?

[frodoontop]

Vobsub 2.23, played back in windows media player classic

[stax76]

I can't get this working here. Does it work in Zoom Player? Which splitter and which decoder do you use?

[ffroms]

I don't know how frodoontop menage to play subs with VobSub2.23 'couse it only works with DVobSub2.25(VSFilter). I have diffrent problem with subs. When sub have two lines at the end of first line shows small square. It's not that big problem but I would like to know why.
BTW, when will be possible to demux subs from MKV? For now I can mux everything in Matroska but can't demux.

[frodoontop]

Using vobsub isn't so hard. Just make sure it's forced to load.(Configure->General->Always load). I'm using .srt subtitles by the way.

<EDIT>Removed problem since it is solved, see above</EDIT>

[stax76]

Using vobsub isn't so hard. Just make sure it's forced to load

it does not work in ZP, I'll tell Blight about it

[Hiro2k]

I have a problem with creating the mkv. This is the first time I tried Matroska, and I tried to mux my Video(DVX5), 2 ogg Streams, and 2 SRT subtitle streams. The process started out fine, but near the end of the file VDubMod just stopped working. It said it was going at 0fps and I had to abort. Is this a problem with the new CoreVorbis.dll or with VDubMod?

Sorry I didn't know where to post this.

[N_F]

These problems some of you have brought up, are they new for this CVS release?

[Hiro2k]

Yes mine is with the new CVS, why else would I post it in here.

I meant if it's new in this CVS release as in it worked before but not in this one.

[Hiro2k]

Well it turns out it also failed with the original 1.5.1.1a version too. I tested it some more and I found out that the encoding stopped on the exact frame where I had set the cut point for my credit in Gknot. It stopped at that frame in both the CVS Patch and the original 1.5.1.1a.

Is this a problem with just the appended credits or is it something more?

[N_F]

I don't mean to go too off-topic, but...

Had you joined the movie+credits in an avi before trying to create a mkv or did you open the movie --> append credits --> save as mkv?

[Hiro2k]

No I had appended the before making the MKV, but that gives me something new to try. I'll try to open the movie, append the credits, then make it into an MKV.

edit:
It didnt' help any. The movie stops at that frame too.

@Hiro2k : Are you sure you have the very latest version of VdubMod working ? The error you describe was typical for VdubMod 1.5.1.1a, but should be resolved in this version. How much RAM do you have ? If your movie stops, does Windows Task Manager tell you all the memory was used ? Is the source movie you are muxing the final MKV from also a MKV , an AVI or an OGM ?

Is this a problem with the new CoreVorbis.dll or with VDubMod?
Sorry I didn't know where to post this.

VdubMod is not DShow based, so it wont use CoreVorbis at all ...

@Hiro2k :

I should have read your full postings, now its clear ... the 'append segmen ..' function does not work with MKV yet ( AFAIK :O ) ... if you encode your movie this way, create an AVI first, and then transmux your final AVI into MKV in one go, with all the subs and the audio you want ....
