FilmShrink uses AVISynth, which won't run on mac

Just loaded up FilmShrink, I like it's cropping window, it's clear to see whether automatic cropping has cropped any picture out or not. This isn't so clear in other programs. Just a question though - is there an option to completely disable the encoding of the audio? I just want the video encoded.

You cannot disable the encoding of the audio, but I will add this feature into the next version.

Can FilmShrink do 16:9 Anamorphic Widescreen encoding, like AutoRV10 can?
Does it use Real's producer to do the resizing or is it done before (like in a avs script or something)?

a_afra · 23rd September 2005, 18:10

Currently FilmShrink does not support 16:9 anamorphic encoding, but I'm working on the next version which will contain this feature.

It does the resizing in the avs script to maximize quality (Lanczos resizing is the best).

hmm, for anamorphic encoding there should not be any resizing relative to the source prior to encoding... Producer should be given the playback size as the "resize" size, which should be stretched horizontally, relative to the input (source) size, such that the player will do this stretching on playback.

a_afra · 24th September 2005, 10:03

I know that, but for non-anamorphic encoding resizing is necessary prior to encoding and that's were I use Lanczos and not in the case of the future anamorphic encoding feature.

OK. That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

Hi, I love this FilmShrink. Great Program!! Nearly perfect.

I have a question about it though, as when I used this propgram to convert a dvd to rmvb, in the PCG/Angle Select screen, it shows 1:38:30 for the length of the movie that I want to convert. but when I went into the 'Video' tab in the "Configuration Screen" it shows 1:38:36 for it's duration. At first it did not really matter to me. But when I import the subtitle into it, I realized that the sub was not sync with the video. For some reason the movie stopped at the the last frame of the movie for 6 seconds longer (a end credit scene), if only I could edit/cut that 6 seconds off before I encode it (wasted 11 hours on my computer

)

So is there anything I could do? Or I could only encode this movie without the subtitle?

Hello a_afra,

Thx for your works. After several testing it seems that your software didn't support

1.78:1 (16:9 TV)

But I also would like to confirm that doest it support

1.33:1
1.85:1
2.35:1

Please advise. Many thanks.

has filmshrink development ended?

a_afra · 6th February 2006, 21:03

Hello everyone!

Currently I'm working on my new project (not multimedia stuff, sorry) so I don't have time to continue the development of FilmShrink.

But this doesn't necessarily mean the end of FilmShrink, because it's an open source project.

I think H.264 represents the right direction. It's not too difficult to modify FilmShrink to use X264, FAAC and an MPEG-4 multiplexer instead of RealProducer, so if somebody is interested in the development of the next generation FilmShrink please contact me and I will try to help as much as I can!

Also, I'm very happy that NicAudio is used in several other projects, because it's based on my audio decoders made for FilmShrink.

Hi!

In light of the fact that this is your first post, I'll just ask you if you are aware that the last post to this thread (before yours) is more than three years old...

Adub · 22nd March 2009, 22:56

The development of this software is dead. The author was last on these forums on 13th February 2007 14:00.

He doesn't have a new version out, as it would be on his website and sourceforge repository (which is empty).

Sorry.
