HC 2-pass VBR problem solved
OK guys, I found it...
It is not DirectShowSource, it is HC. AVStoDVD always writes the *AVSRELOAD parameter into the HC.ini file, and this freezes HC on my machine. My computer is a little old and slow, and it does not have very much RAM (Intel Celeron 1.1 GHz Coppermine, 512 MB RAM), but until now I never had any stability issues with HC (well, I never used the AVSRELOAD parameter until now). So it would be nice to have another option added to the HC advanced settings which allows me to uncheck AVSRELOAD. Cheers manolito |

@leoliver
go on with the simple project (one small clip - no menu). To reduce unknown variables, be sure that the small clip has a "standard" name and path (i.e. c:\movies\clip.avi), the output folder has a "standard" path (i.e. c:\movies) and if you save the project, its pathname is "standard" as well (i.e. c:\movies\project.a2d). After pressing START, do you get the project summary message window (like this)? It should not have an impact to this particular issue, but, I have taken a look to the attached codecs list and it is amazing! You really have hundreds of them! Do you really need them all? For 99% of application ffdshow should be enough. Bye |

I have never seen the message window you posted. It hasn't came up on my computer. I'm posting 2-files showing the active AVStoDVD windows from my last test. I do have allot of Codecs . There installed along with audio/video software I installed. Most came from MediaCoder's Codecs pack. But allot were from other software installs. I haven't sorted them out because I'm worried about deleting ones I might need.

You'll have to start "sorting them out". You might try uninstalling any unneeded apps. You could also try this app and look for 'broken' codecs. http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Codec_Sniper You might also try this app and check what it has to say. http://paul.glagla.free.fr/filmerit_en.htm You have to be careful, but maybe you'll see some common problems between the two. Although I don't have any experience with it, for some it has been reported that the K-lite codec pack can sometimes fix/repair some issues with it's Repair function. |

@manolito
frankly speaking, I do not think to add default HCenc settings change possibility, because AVStoDVD is not a HC GUI, but a one-click-solution for best mpeg2 encoding apps. I mean: today you are asking me to add *AVSRELOAD setting, tomorrow someone else another parameter, and so on... I believe you can understand me... Another point, more general: if a currently developed sw (HCenc) does not handle properly an internal error (avs reload on low memory system), why a "third part" sw (AVStoDVD) should take care of it? I would ask hank to solve the problem from the root cause. Do you agree? @leoliver I have uploaded a very alpha release of AVStoDVD 2.1.3 (exe only) which contains a lot of new debug instructions. Download it, unzip it, overwrite current exe and start again your simple project. Copy and past here the log file. Bye |

It WORKED !!!!!!
@leoliver
I have uploaded a very alpha release of AVStoDVD 2.1.3 (exe only) which contains a lot of new debug instructions. Download it, unzip it, overwrite current exe and start again your simple project. Copy and past here the log file. Bye[/QUOTE] SUCCESS , your new ALPHA build fixed the problem!!! I ran the same small test clip tonight , and the process worked. It produced a "DVD folder" that when played on my copy of the SMPlayer , had very good audio and video playback . And it seemed to work at a good rate of speed. The FFDShow filter popped up twice during the process. I clicked use once on the first instance and don't use once on the 2nd instance . I think the 1st instance was during the video encoding and the 2nd instance was at the start of the audio encoding . It made me a little nervous , because I was anxious that the wrong answer would mess up the process after it started. I did download the two Codecs repair tools you mentioned in a previous reply . One showed, one broken Codecs and the other tool showed 5 broken Codecs . The tools showed different Codecs as being broken , so I still haven't decided on a course of action for that problem. But your new ALPHA build worked well regardless . I'm attached 2 screen shot attachments , and below is the LOG file for the successful process ....................

Reply update
Hi Everyone,
On my last reply I tried to post 2-images but they didn't show up . I'm trying to post the images again . I may have went over my attachment quota limit , so will delete some older image attachments.

Point taken . I guess I got a little carried away because I was happy that the new version solved my encoding problem. So I will try this method to display the images ................. http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8...projectep0.jpg and also .................... http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/7...rogressgy6.jpg I think this approach should be "server" friendly . Let me know if there are any problems . Thanks.

FFDShow and AVStoDVD
When I'm using AVStoDVD , FFDShow pops up and asks me if I want to use it with AVStoDVD . The FFDShow pops ups occur at both the start of AVStoDVD video encoding and audio encoding segments. Sometimes I answer yes to FFDShow and sometimes I answer no .
So my question is , will FFDShow make AVStoDVD encode better or faster ? Or does FFDShow provide no useful support to AVStoDVD ? Thanks.

ffdshow is a set of directshow decoder filters, it is used to decode the input file you feed into AVStoDVD. Then AVStoDVD will encode it (thru QuEnc or HCenc) to MPEG2-DVD standard.
The choice to use (or not) ffdshow is yours. You should base your decision upon visual yield and decoding capability. BTW, if you decide that ffdshow is your choice, I suggest you to answer "always" when ffdshow pops up. Bye |

A question to all users.
Since I am trying to reduce AVStoDVD trend to become a fat suite, what do you think if I remove from the package ImgBurn and add a routine to use ImgBurn only if it is already installed in the system? Something like DVDShrink usage of Nero/DVDDecrypter. I think that most of AVStoDVD users should have ImgBurn normally installed... Bye |
