By the way: If I re-install multiAVCHD (e.g. if I re-download the whole pack instead of using the mulitupdate, would it be wise to do a un-install first? |

multiAVCHD "install" package is basically un-zip process. It doesn't do anything but replace your multiAVCHD\*.* files (except for the .ini file). Uninstall/Install often makes no difference, unless there are new tools in the full-download package.
If you have troubles viewing 'previews' then re-install will not change anything. multiAVCHD depends on directshow to display previews and un/re-install changes nothing. |

After I installed the version that added the new tool AVSinfo.exe, I got back my frustrating 30 second delays when opening properties or other parts where a frame from video is to be shown in the gui. I knew why and after I fixed it, I got back the quick respons again. Here is the link to my post that talked about this 30 second delay and how to fix it. Tips if you have 30 second delays In this post, where it talks about "mx264.exe", it also related to the new tool AVSinfo.exe. Deank, please make som info somewhere so that users know how to avoid these 30seconds delays, if possible. Bye, Dolsen |

As I promised some time ago, I tested multiAVCHD with a clean Windows 7 (Ultimate) 32bit installation.
It took about 3 hours of fighting to make MOTION chapters work. Interestingly enough my Vista 32bit PC has only 2GB of RAM and the PC I installed Win7 had 3GB. Still motion chapters failed each time with the same message: "Not enough memory folks!" (x264) or "GDI/Insufficient memory" (avisynth) or just no errors and no output. I tried to increase the virtual memory to 4GB (System Properties / Advanced / Change) but it really didn't make any difference. The latest build 756 got some changes about motion chapters and now multiAVCHD will not use directshow but ffms2.dll when parsing video for these video thumbnails. It works in Win7. Those of you who had troubles, please update to the latest build and give it a try, then post your comments here. Dean // I'm still puzzled why all worked on my Vista installation and not on other people's installations. I had less physical memory than the Win7 PC I installed, and I was currently running over 15 applications, including Azureus, Nod32, skype, photoshop, dreamweaver, 4 ms excel and 2 ms word documents, ~20 tabs in firefox, daemon tools, sony-ericsson suite, adobe acrobat, remote administrator, powerpoint and probably something else... x264 never gave up with "we ran out of memory, folks!" message... I have no explanation. Either my old ffdshow has something to do with it or the windows installation itself or the DELL Inspiron 1720 laptop hardware. I just don't know. // A side note from this 'experiment' is that transcoding of VC-1 WMV files doesn't even require ffdshow - just multiAVCHD and AviSynth.

Quick question for Dean (or anyone knowing the answer): I will have to rebuild my AVCHD structure after changing chapter positions for several titles. Do I have to first delete AVCHDTN and HDAVCTN folders ? Or is multiAVCHD enough clever to understand that certain thumbs have to be recomputed (before rebuilding the chapter menus) when I change the chapter marks ?

To change chapter positions you had to switch to title full-mode processing. multiAVCHD is 'clever' enough and will create new chapter images for these titles. You definitely don't need to delete HDAVCTN folder. AVCHDTN is always recreated, so it makes no difference.

ffdshow and haali spliter installation steps: (steps to take if you have problems with transcoding or menu preparation!)
If you have ffdshow or avisynth or haali splitter - uninstall them and install supported versions in following order: 1) Install Avisynth 2.58 2) Install ffdshow 3) Install haali (Matroska / Матрешка) splitter Last edited by deank; 8th June 2010 at 21:31. |

Unfortunately, full mode processing means lots of time too :-( |

Two new options in the latest update (user request):
In MENU/Buttons/Labels tab: [x] Show labels on main menu page only - With this option ON, PLAY/CHAPTERS/SETUP/TITLE_LIST labels will appear only on the main menu page, but not on chapters/setup pages. In MENU/Extended tab: Menu encoding quality: Normal/High/Very high (6200/8200/13500kbps). Dean |

I realize the randomize feature is unique and great, but is there any way we can turn it off? Both for BG video as well as the title thumbnail?
Even after checking the box not to use the feature on BG video, my BG video is randomized. Thanks. Last edited by dvgeek; 9th June 2010 at 19:04. |

But perhaps add a comment next to the last screenshot of ffdshow install, informing that if the user enables the feature "use only ffdshow in these programs", they have to add "mx264.exe" and "avsinfo.exe" (and perhaps "x264.exe") from the tools folder of multiavchd, to avoid 30 second delay.

Dean, I have a big problem with the quality of thumbmails produced by multiAVCHD for chapter menus. Some are with a lot of macroblocks. Is it something that could be relative to my ffdshow configuration ? Codec for the titles is VC-1 and libavcodec is selected for this codec in ffdhow configuration (not wmv9).
Should the thumbmail be the picture displayed exactly at the chapter mark ? Because I have an example for which the thumbmail created for the last chapter is a picture located before the real chapter mark (less than one second before). I have the feeling that the thumbmails are very dark compared to what I see when playing the title. Is it a wrong feeling ? And to finish, I find the thumbs in chapter menu too much small. No way to have something bigger ? |

Here is a small tool for fast text subtitle conversion (microDVD SUB, SRT, SSA/ASS) to PGS/SUP/XML/PNG(BDM):
**** Download link: 1.3MB standalone package Download link: 125KB executable only (if you have multiAVCHD, just put it in multiAVCHD folder). (since my servers are down, here is a mirror for the .exe only.) As you can see, it is quite simple, but some people need just that. XML+PNG are saved in a .rar archive in source file folder (just like easySUP does). SUP is saved in source file folder. Here is how the result may look: With light shadow: Without shadow: ****************** ****************** It takes about 2-3 mins to process 500 subpictures in 1080p, about 1min for 720p (and 20-30secs for 480/576i). No external filters/plugins are used in the avisynth script. It supports, left/center/right alignment, bottom offset, font size/color/outline, shadow, blur, opacity... Breaks long lines in ssa/ass, converts {000}{000} microDVD sub and ssa/ass to srt before converting to png/xml/sup. Requires only avisynth and java (for bdsup2sub). goSUP supports multiple source files. You can drag&drop multiple text subtitles to the file-box and get them processed in batch.

* Checking AviSynth presence... * [OK] AVISYNTH (encoded 7782 bytes) * Checking AVC/H.264 decoding... * [OK] AVC/H.264 (encoded 56408 bytes) * Checking MPEG-2 decoding... * [OK] MPEG-2 (encoded 2761 bytes) * Checking VC-1 decoding... * [OK] VC-1 (encoded 2998 bytes) * All tests completed! Interesting since MAVCHD has had problems per my message last week. I think I'll first unintall and try the order you recommended, then I download the latest MAVCHD and see where I end up. |

Dean, as of 3:20pm PST (-8 GMT), 6/10/2010, I think your site is down (http://multiavchd.deanbg.com)
