I get the following message when I try to open one avi file. But it already worked fine for another...
Ideas?

SteveHarding · 23rd March 2005, 12:05

Just added an extra window for a batch unpack (ugly, as it's the first time I've used C# - please don't flame my code style guys!)

You can either just use the 'Batch Unpack' button from the GUI, or you can use command line.

MPEG4Modifier batch <folder>
MPEG4Modifier batch <file>

Will both open the program in batch unpack mode, with files already in the list, which I was thinking may be very useful for a right-click menu option - so you can just right click your folder and say 'Unpack MPEG4'

This post is the source - binaries follow. If our glorious leader wishes to borrow any of the code for the real version, they are of course welcome.

SteveHarding · 23rd March 2005, 12:07

Hmm...did you know that previewing your post erases the contents of the 'attach file' field?

SteveHarding · 23rd March 2005, 12:17

Hmm...that don't seem to be workin'.

In that case, grab 'em from this site if you are interested.

ive just been trying to write a small program that uses unpackcl.exe to batch unpack files but was coming across some problems, this however solved them all

luckily i have visual studio installed so downloaded and compiled,

here is the compiled version in case anyone does not have the ability to do so, was compiled in windows xp if that makes a difference(im a noob here btw)

hope no-one minds that i made this available

thank you to everyone involved this has made my prismiq viewing so much better and more versatile

SteveHarding · 27th March 2005, 00:38

Didn't my binaries work? Darn - this is what happens when you upload stuff just before you go out. I really should test these things...

Problems with people building/distributing it? Hey, it's open source, and it's good to know someone appreciates a contribution

Itchy · 27th March 2005, 01:51

ok think i was just foolish lol didnt even see that

but now people have two choices lol

Maybe the file is corrupt, or made with some older encoder which produced an invalid bitstream. Try using an older version of MPEG4 Modifier, since this error message was added in 1.3.2 for the GMC warp point parsing code.

Videolan doesn't ignore the AR flag.
Why do decoders ignore it? I don't get it. Is it that hard do make it happen?

Indeed VLC doesn't ignore it. I don't get it though, because ffdshow according to bond can through enabling overlay mixer decode the picture anamorphic, but I didn't get it to work.

Have you enabled "Allow output format changes during playback" and "Connect to compatible filters only"?
With this settings ffdshow works fine with the AR-Flag.

Unfortunately "anamorphic signalling detection" is an implementation that has only recently started to be incorporated into Mpeg4 direct-show decoder (DSdec) filters.

Indeed, the DSdec filter that comes with DivX Fusion Codec Beta b1461, appears to support automatic AR signalling detection. But only if you select the following options: -

And so does the DSdec filter that comes with (some of) XviD's 1.1.0 beta builds. However, encodes with B-VOP but without packed bit-stream are not currently supported: -

Nero on the other-hand has (nearly) always had a fully working DSdec filter.

Cheers

Well no wonder then, I never use Packed Bit-Streams with my XviD encodes. Could this be the reason for why it isn't working with ffdshow? I use libavcodec for decoding all MPEG-4 video streams, and I've checked "Allow output format changes during playback" and "Connect to compatible filters only."

Do you use ZoomPlayer for Playback?
Then go to Player Options-->Filter Control-->Standard Media Playback and set "Video Renderer" to "System Default".
Or use MPC.

(But you have to set it to "System Default" too, to take effect)

I use MPC, and it's on System Default, ain't working man

MSlv · 27th March 2005, 14:02

It works with windows media player, mpc. But I can't get it to work with BSPlayer, latest build. I don't know why. I changed the video rendering from overlay mode 1 to mode 2 (overlay mixer) and it still doesn't use the AR flag. Could it be because BSPlayer has a built-in AR changer?

Anyway, I don't want to use ffdshow for my DivX and XviD movies. The DivX 5.2.1 decoder (DIV3, DIV4, DIVX, DX50) and XviD decoder (XVID or xvid? which fourcc?) are doing a great job and I haven't had any problems yet. I use ffdshow for everything else (3ivX, x264, etc.).

Do you have one of the latest builds of ffdshow?

It works great for me.
