Hybrid: Input -> x264/x265/Xvid/VP8/VP9

[Gravitator]

Thanks!

The tedious question is related to programming: how difficult it is to implement the command / procedure of temporary suspension of execution of commands (pause button) in the converter, possible obstacles and how much time will?
DivX brakes more than 9 months > example

You can pause running processes without a problem for quite some time now, while keeping Hybrid open.
A pause option which will allow to pause and close Hybrid would require a whole memory dump and a lot of other stuff, which either would require:
a. a rewrite of all the tools involved to do this (since each would need to create their own memory and internal position dump)
b. administrator rights and some OS specific hacks (I'm not capable of without a lot of time studying each OS)
-> I doubt that you will see any of this inside an application, since basically it would require the functionality Windows sleep mode has, but even more complex since you want this only for a hand full of applications.
(on Windows pausing like Hybrid is doing it, is a simple call to NtSuspendProcess which is a basic function of the ntdll, implementing that inside a c/c++ based software should be possible in a short time. If the DivX Networks hasn't implemented this in 9 months it's not because they can't it's because they do not want to.)

Can be in the mode of "AVS view" insert text (as a logo) and do touches (circles and squares to allocate) :\

[Selur]

avsViewer is a really simple tools which doesn't have any real capabilities to modify avs files it's just a simple tool to display avs files.
It's not intended to be some sort of avs editor like avsMod or similar.
-> don't think this will happen.

Is any Linux user still using the QT 4.6 builds? (thinking about dropping Qt 4.6)

[Gravitator]

Привет,
Have a folder with DVD or MKV > chose x264 > chose restriction 1CD (e.g. automatically 749kb/s) > then delete or adds a chapter - Hybrid not responsive / does not change the bit rate for mode 1CD (on former 749kb/s).

[Selur]

will look into it also "not responsive" and "does not change the bit rate" are two totally different things.
-> fixed the not adjusting of the target bit rate in the grayed out dialog

This is not exactly the answer you were looking for, but...

I'm not using QT 4.6 build

Hybrid rev 2014.10.13.1:

*fixed*

• avisynth: make sure content is 4:2:0 before applying SalFps3
• calc: adjusting bit rate indication when a fixed output file size was selected and the chapter selection got changed
• cosmetics: 'extracting video ...' was shown during Xvid encoding
• filter: don't change frame rate when doing progressive to interlaced conversion (mixed up fields and frames :/)
• prores: profile selection and indication
• x264: --aq-strength wasn't properly minimized

*added*

• filter: 'force 4:4:4 downsize' option to better preserve chroma information
• avisynth: (direct) edgeLevel and aSharp support

*changed*

• avisynth: rewrote avisynth filter support to easier support new filters
• cosmetics: always show two internal decimal places for fps and progress, always round bit rate during progress indication

The installer has shrunk ~10MB compared to previous release.

Hybrid_2014.9.27.1_SETUP.exe - 117 MB (122,920,575 bytes)
Hybrid_2014.10.13.1_SETUP.exe - 107 MB (113,239,420 bytes)

[Selur]

Yes, it did.

Hybrid rev 2014.10.15.1:

*added*

• input: vfr timecode extraction through ffmpeg this way Hybrid can extract the time codes of every format that is supported by libav (mainly useful for vfr wmv)

*fixed*

• avisynth: DeGrainMedian-call container 2 times the 'mode'-parameter :/
• avisynth: Levels, only supports named parameter addressing for corning and dither
• avisynth: DeHalo filters didn't get applied
• avisynth: SalFPS3, 'FPS' isn't optional and needs to be set explicitly

Hybrid rev 2014.10.23.1:

*fixed*

• input/jobs: bug during subtitle processing
• avisynth: load "d3dx9_30.dll" when loading FFT3dGPU.dll
• avisynth: change frame rate/count when QTGMCs input type is not zero

*added*

• avisynth: "Interactive script view"-option, when enabled, Hybrid will not disable the GUI while the avisynth preview is enabled. It will also update the view on every change made that influences the script.
  *WARNING* This option is experimental! It isn't tested extensively, so use it with case. Especially the fast change of settings, e.g. by using the up/down arrows of an option might cause problems. -> if your run into reproducible problems please tell my how to reproduce the problem and I'll try if I can find a fix for it.
• tools: 'Check for new release'-button, when pressed Hybrid will check if there's a newer version of Hybrid available online
  or not.
• x265: support for '--rd-penalty X'

*changed*

• avisynth: support Avisynth+ as alternative to normal Avisynth (the avisynth extension still comes with Avisynth 2.6 MT atm.)
• input: always set frame count to the number of time codes, for vfr content

Hybrid rev 2014.10.25.1:

*fixed*

• avisynth: case-insensitive search on Windows caused Hybrid to falsely assume Avisynth+ as being present, which caused Haybrid to look for RgTools instead of RemoveGrain&Co. :/ (Windows only)
• tools: 'bdsup2sub++' detection problem (now Hybrid manually searches /usr/bin for bdsup2sub++, seems like 'which' didn't like the '++' in the name (Mac&Linux only)

• build: adjustments to Hybrid to work better with Yosmite
