FairUse 2.6 is out
BTW, FU now has its homepage (I know it's poorly designed, but I'm definitly not a good web designer).
http://www.fairusewizard.com See the history for full change log. ump edit by Wilbert & foxyshadis: version 2.6 is available! instructions: Don't forget to install the Light Edition version first (it has the 700 MB restriction). (Older full version: Overwrite FU.exe with this one: FairUse 2.5) FairUse 2.6 - src (of LE version) Last edited by foxyshadis; 9th April 2007 at 20:50. |

Can't wait anymore...
Hey UMP, i saw the screenshots from your website, reminds me tha good old days! And dont worry about the website design, since its pretty the same as the original one.
I saw multiple thread announcing new version, should you stick to one thread? (just askin...) Keep up the good work! Regards dude!

Hello.
Thanks for your work. Are you still using fu2k's algorithm that aims to model how the human eye perceives image distortion or has it been thrown out completly? BTW, as for your resizer stuff, IIRC, mpeg2avi from PX3 is quite optimized and DVDx too, maybe there you can find some optimized resizing routines?! Cheers, Mijo.

Hmmm... Couldn't it be used, just like in the original version, just now with Xvid instead of Divx 3.11? I've tried FU Xvid with one clip and I think (didn't had the time to test it), that FairUse would make a better looking clip with the Divx3 cross-cutting multiple encoding feature. Somehow, I've always found this feature the most interesting, if I would be a programmer I would surely fiddle with FairUse, altough in the ideal case the codec should make this job (n-pass etc.). BTW, still playing the Star Wars online game? Cheers, Mijo.

Still playing occassionally
I did look into the resize stuff of FU, but unfortunately, I don't have a deep enough background involving the code and manipulating the video itself to know how to adapt another program's resizer to FU. The cross-cutting stuff was made because DivX 3 didn't have the facilities to provide the proper quality control. However, it is most definitely the codec's responsibility to provide this. |

fu2k's algorithm was used to determine image difference for use with the crosscutter, and has been removed.
Using FU with XVID and cross-cutting would be very slow, since for the crosscutter to be effective it would need at least 3 or 4 encodings. IMHO, using 2-pass XVID is faster and should give optimal bitrate repartition. ump |

hi,
great to see that FU is back. I used this fantastic tool from the beginning and forgot about it since having a dvd burner. now that mpeg4 devices are bginning to do what they are supposed to I'm thinking of doing mpeg4 again. It's sad that you have t post in the general forum, should have sort of his own ... regards, mikegun

I totally agree with mikegun. Great that FU is under development again, thanks.
I wonder why Doom9 never mentioned it in his news, even FU had it's own forum those days and afaik Doom9 is looking for encoding tools with easy GUI: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=50339 |

hi ump,
ok, here we go. there is one feature I'd like to have: encode closed captions into the video (sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand what I mean). I can not encode to 720 resolution. at least I haven't seen this possibilty so far. is this true ? apart from this FU is perfect for me. regards, mikegun

About encoding at 720, you should choose the max resolution in the "resize screen" : http://fairuse.free.fr/images/index.4.jpg Please note you might need to uncheck the "show only preferred resolution" checkbox. ump |

they are afaik only on rc1 dvds. you can't select them like you would select subtitles (via dvd-player remote control). I think I already tried one of these dvds and I couldn't select them like you described. but I'll check this again. maybe I made a mistake ... regards, mikegun

void ResizePlane::_ResizeX(const unsigned char *src, unsigned char *dst) and void ResizePlane::_ResizeY(const unsigned char *src, unsigned srcStep, unsigned char *dst, unsigned dstStep) I found some MMX code in the VDub sources that looks somewhat similar : long resize_table_row_MMX(Pixel *out, Pixel *in, int *filter, int filter_width, PixDim w, long accum, long frac) and long resize_table_col_MMX(Pixel *out, Pixel **in_table, int *filter, int filter_width, PixDim w, long frac) and I'm trying to figure out how provide the right params to this. Not that easy since I don't know assembly ump |
