Seems like a handy little progy if I could get it to work
I get an error right off the bat; http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/5055/favchb8.jpg Any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? Just testing a little AVI file to NTSC DVD conversion. Thanks Config.ini; D:\FAVC Output 0 4 1 4 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 0 0

E.g. This file works perfectly on my computer using FAVC: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FVT1VQSV Last edited by Mr_Odwin; 1st August 2006 at 09:57. |

Looks like a very nice program!
But: Can somebody tell me why I get this error? Quote:

Every avi file? Even the one I posted above?
Any chance you could post a piece of a clip that fails? http://www.megaupload.com/ is easy to use, and I can access it at work, unlike rapidshare. |

The crash happens with every AVI file no matter what (codec framerate) it is.
After video analysis is fininshed there's message notifying about occurence of "unhandled exception" with options to continue or quit. Depending on framerate of the file the "conversion from string <framerate>" part changes accordingly (i.e. "25.000000", 23.976025" etc). I downloaded and installed latest NET framework 2.0 but it didn't help. Is it just me or has somebody else got this error too? |

Jethro, can you try this build of the exe please? Just replace the existing exe in the FAVC folder. If this causes trouble for anyone else then just say. All seems to work fine at my end.

works!
Thanks for helping.
The exe showed the same error, unfortunately. I managed to resolve the problem by changing windows regional settings to English (US). Strangely, it was enough. It shows no error now. I think the problem with conversion was due to different decimal separator. Now I can try to play with the app |

Yes, it was comma. Most of European countries (I' ve checked just now) use comma.
As I did some (very) basic programming a while ago (and still do from time to time) I think I remembered a similar problem I had with converting strings to numbers. NET framework seems to be retrieving somehow the windows regional settings and I just had a bit of luck to try changing them. |

Just wanted to say that the program is working great and I am amazed that it is so easy now to make DVDs out of AVIs with your tool. The whole process always seemed complicated and time consuming to me to really get down to it.
Now it is one-button-only operation! |

Thanks for the kind words. I've been further tinkering and I think the exe at the link below may work for your previous regional settings. Care to try it out for me?

Your tinkering was succesful .
BTW:Megaupload doesn't work here most of the day (It says: All download slots for your country are taken). I like rapidshare with rapget program as it doesn't require visiting pages I don't want to visit, no needless waiting, no typing hard-to-recognize letters (vide: rapidshare). |

Links in the first post have been updated to the newest version of FAVC - 0.51. Because of recent developments with ImgBurn it is now possible to burn a DVD without first creating an iso file, saving much time. Also, TV overscan may optionally be accounted for; 16 pixels around the edge of the video will not be used if this is the case. (Works perfectly for my TV. )

Download links are presently dead. If somebody has .051 complete at hand, would appreciate an alternate DL, or an email to ddog1953 at yahoo Com

An e-mail from my old ISP this morning:

It should be a temporary thing until I can get some more space sorted out. In the mean time here's a temporary location for 0.60 which has provisional support for mov, asf, wmv and avs files. http://rapidshare.de/files/30230321/FAVC.exe.html |

I think this is actually good news. It clearly shows people are using this excellent program and the low amount of post activity is simply because it works so darn well and is not causing the normal "Wah! it don't work right!" posts.
Great job. Here is a thought I had today. Some of the folks have puttered around with splitting the avs and using multiple instances of QEnc to encode and then reassemble. Sounds like nearly more hassle that is is worth, BUT In your case it may be an interesting area as you are prebatching multiple encodes with the bitrates already calculated and then running the encodes sequentially. I wonder if it would be simple to launch 2 at a time (if a checkmark requested it)? As a point of reference, my machine (Pentium 930 Dual running at 4.5 gHz) will run 2 instances of QEnc using trimmed AVS's, each around 55 fps. I have not thought this out in any detail and bring it up simply as a conversation point.

*Adds to ever-growing to-do list* Thanks for the good comments. I've now got some working links for 0.60 up in the first post. |

Tinkering around a little -
> Selected 2 avi's and specified 1/2 D1 > Manually stopped the encode that was auto started with title.bat > Split your title.bat into 3 batch files > Ran movie1.bat and movie2.bat at the same time - both encoded simultaneously at 95 fps each > Seems do-able and the mpgs were ok, but the non video encoding steps may need to remain sequential as there was heavy I/O thrashing even on my striped arrays
