GPL command line M2V transcoder

[mmgrover]

Just Wondering if we could all get together for a meeting somehow?
I'm worried people will be working on same areas and overlap code?
Not sure what direction things are headed?

Hey! That was the fix I was looking for! I tip my hat to the master...

mmgrover: Sounds good to me, I didn't plan on writing any new code as of yet though, I just know a lot of ppl looking for a version with static libs that has advanced CCEData.txt parsing. How does EFNet IRC sound to you guys?

[mmgrover]

I wasn't trying to step on any toes here ;-)

Still not sure How nic feels about web site?
I just see a good app here with lots of future!


mike


Trying to be what ever help I can.
Have coded for years, but my MFC skills are getting rusty :-(
I mostly use Builder 6 and delphi 7 now :-)

On another note, been about 60 downloads of Installer version of rejig. My DSL line goes nuts now and then...

[mmgrover]

The only thing holding me back with a staic version was
that I havn't been able to compile the css code in vStrip yet :-(

I added code to a version here that gets frame rate, If it's 23.976
use .mpv.m2v naming alse use .mpv

Website's fine...

If I've included my MPEGInfo class they'll already be a class to find out the framerate but that might not be in there...post your code and ill put it 0.4 to be released soon...(code's done, just got to make the stop button work.lol! (then test it...))

-Nic

ps
I'm not really one for IRC, my free time is very short, and it's better spent coding...My plans are to finish this IFO mode off and then work on the compression/rate-control. So anything other than that shouldn't interfere or overlap for now

[Eyes`Only]

Nic: understood. Well if either of you want to chat using a system a little more facilitating than this one, I'm in EFNet IRC at #doom9 most of the time. Great! I've got an alpha of DoItFast4U 1.3.4 about to go beta which will call rejig as long as users put a copy of it in my install dir, and keep it named Rejig.exe. I think it should suffice, as long as CLI doesn't change.

mmgrover: No wait, that sounds backward. 23.97 = mpv.m2v, 25=mpv, 29.97=mpv

[mmgrover]

@eyes only


Film is 23.976, 29.970 after pulldown


So wouldn't Film be the only mpv.m2v?

[Eyes`Only]

yeah, I guess I misunderstood "alse" to mean "also", which confused me.

[mmgrover]

Sorry, I meant else, lol

Sounds like converting from bitrate to percentage is up to us?
You had any ideas on that?


mike

[Eyes`Only]

Well I thought about doing it, but the problem is what you mentioned about the sizing not working correctly as it is now. I don't think it's proper for me to pursue it, as what *might* need to be done is a complex calculation varying depending on other factors such as filesize, correct? I can send percentage information in the CCEData.txt file, but I'm not sure this would work out the way we want it, and it would leave the file proprietary, instead of being able to be used on both apps (DoCCE4U and Rejig), which is something I was hoping(?) could be done, at least in initial stages.

[mmgrover]

Since this project is in its early stages, Do we use the CCEData.txt
for manual import, and possibly create a REJIGData.txt file
for DoItfast4U->ReJig auto processsing?


Leave existing CCEData code and add additional code?
Create a nice format for rejig text file?


mike

I'm not sure if nic's current work fixex that or not?

[mmgrover]

How do you guys feel about CVS?

I can open outside on my openBSD machine to allow access to my WinCVS server here and we can use the WinCVS cient?
I have been using it for about 3 years and have had good luck with it.

We can set it to allow Read only access for Anonmoyous users.

This would allow us to all work on the project at the same time :-)
Just keep committing your changes.

@eyes only

CVS is the Concurrent Versions System, the dominant open-source network-transparent version control system. CVS is useful for everyone from individual developers to large, distributed teams:

Its client-server access method lets developers access the latest code from anywhere there's an Internet connection.
Its unreserved check-out model to version control avoids artificial conflicts common with the exclusive check-out model.
Its client tools are available on most platforms.


Goto http://www.cvshome.org/

On my Win2000 server I use http://www.cvsnt.org
For Client I use http://www.wincvs.org

Awsome Tool!!!

[Eyes`Only]

Never used it.

Has anybody Used ReJig To Compress a Encrypted vob?
I finally got the csslib to compile ok, so I opened up a
vob file on my hard drive that is encrypted, when I try to
compres ReJig crashes :-(. I then thought maybe it was my Compiling
of css, so I downloaded the ReJig exe from nics site. Same problem.

Has this worked for anyone else?


Going to start running it in debug mode to see if I can trace it.


an assertion fails In Debug mode at line 226 in RequantEngine.ccp

void putAC(int run, int signed_level, int vlcformat)
{
	int level, len;
	const VLCtable *ptab = NULL;
	
	level = (signed_level<0) ? -signed_level : signed_level; /* abs(signed_level) */
	
>>>>>>>	assert(!(run<0 || run>63 || level==0 || level>2047));
	
	len = 0;

Nic, Does Rejig decrypt on the fly?


I compiled the test app thet came with libdvdcss and it worked fine....

mike

[Nic]

(Nope ReJig in normal mode does no decryption, although plugging in code to do so is easy with those classes (I do it in my unreleased DVD2AVI_Nic....In IFO Mode decryption is done however).
(libdvdcss is only used for Authentication (which is only used in IFOMode))

Im just about to release version 0.4

-Nic

ps
Not a fan of using CVS at the moment, maybe later though.
Using CCEData.txt should be fine, but we'll need to look into it once rate control code is implemented, which ill begin work on soon.

[Nic]

ReJig 0.4a
http://nic.dnsalias.com/ReJig.zip

(source code)
http://nic.dnsalias.com/ReJig_src.zip

Now has IFO Parsing, can rip streams and convert straight from the DVD. Also can convert Sub->Sup and correct AC3 Delay after ripping.

Very untested at present, bound to be buggy. After bugs removed, moving onto rate-control (i.e. so you can put in a final size).

Also includes DVDRFreak's fix for Remove stuffing by removing 8 bytes instead of 6. Should stop jerky video...please let me know if it does.

-Nic

@Nic

Cool, will start testing tommorow after work. Great to see you are better again.

Noticed one bug pressing the open disc button in ifo mode shows a dialog with a empty box. When the open disc button beside this box is pressed the program terminates with an exception.

[dragongodz]

mmgrover - i had a quick look at the sizing wrong(not enough) for 50%.

in requantengine.cpp change the react_delay values. so -2.5f becomes -1.0f, -5.0f becomes -2.5f. then change -60.0f to -10.0f and -80.0f to -20.0f. make sure to change all instinses.

try that and see how close the output size is to what it should be. should be pretty close. this is more of a quicky solution until nic gets a chance to work on the rate control properlly.

[mmgrover]

@dragongodz

I will give that a try

mike

[Grunter]

I've tried ver. 0.4a. In IfoMode crash everytime.
