@gizzin:
HCEnc has currently a small parsing bug for lossless and dbs file settings. @MrC: For a workaround look here: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...2&postcount=65 |

Nothing (at the moment).
But please motivate your sentence, so we can all understand why not... Quote:
The simplest solution is to close the source right now (and prepare yourself to be sued by other closed source tools devs)... Just point of views. I would prefer to invest few hours to search alternatives.

Also, many users are very happy about using some given closed source tools or components for objective technical reasons (or for subjective quality reasons). For these users the performance, the quality, or other reasons are more important than the availability of the source code. Such reasons should be respected. For these users the availability of the source code is simply not relevant/not interesting/not useful. So, please try here to respect what other users like more. Your point of view is clear and understood, but please now, let the author of DVD2AVS think about making his steps to understand what to do, without the pressure of further (little interesting) posts on the same licensing issue subject from your side. Sorry for being so explicit, especially with a colleague from Italy. Cheers, SD Last edited by Sir Didymus; 2nd September 2008 at 19:50. |

I completely missed answering those questions you asked. The Stuttering seemed to be related to me using directshowsource vs avisource. Directshowsource creates stuttering in the video, while avisource does not. So most likely its probably related to something on my end. Also, those post you told me to read didn't make no difference. None of the settings I set seem to retain themselves. Ie I set hc 2pass, it still just uses quenc. But if I edit every title it will use hc 2pass.

In the 'Settings'/'Encoding' you can see 3 'Setup Video Profiles'. If you select one of them, you can customize the bitrate range associated to that profile (see on the right: bitrate numbers change, and are editable). You are NOT choosing that profile forever, that is not the purpose of this page. AVStoDVD has these default (but customizable) settings: BitRate from 2500 to 4500 -> HCenc (mode VBR 2pass) BitRate from 4500 to 6000 -> HCenc (mode OPV 1pass) BitRate from 6000 to 8500 -> QuEnc (mode CBR 1pass) In 'Edit Title'/'Video' you can override above default settings by toggling off 'Auto Video Setup' and select your favorite encoder. Btw, everything is explained in the Help section (press F1). Got the general concept? I understand it can be a little confusing, but I believe it is a smart way to better use QuEnc&HCenc encoding capabilities. Bye |

But if you want to stay in GPL domain you MUST follow it. And no, i don't understand why some peoples uses closed/free softwares whan alternatives ARE available, sorry. I also perfectly know that users don't cares about the legality of certain tools but developers should, IMHO. BTW I always prefer freedom (and legality) over quality...

@all:
Sorry for being off-topic again but this will be my last reply.... I promise @PatchWorKs: Quote:
Public Domain as you named it might be the best solution. In regard to the sourceforge hosting I see no problems in using other hosting / downloading places (e.g. Megaupload, Rapidshare, etc). Quote:
Some / a lot peoples who develop free (whatever you interpret into the word here) software will mostly want their software to work without using payware whenever possible. For me avoiding payware simply translates to using available free software. Free does not neccessarily mean opensource. Personally I do not care to much about source code availibility. Sometimes it would be nice to have access to the sources to see how something was implemented or to fix the bug but in most of the times the purpose I use a software for is so specific (e.g. video encoding, burning, etc) that I would rarley touch the source code. Quote:
be perfectly follow each word of the GPL. Quick solution: Do not use GPL ! Quote:
Many open source tools I use have great quality but for some tasks freely available closed software works better. Esp. in such a case as using ImgBurn Tool for ISO generation & burning. @MrC: This might be interesting in regard to software licenses: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html Esp. the part with "Non-copylefted free software" |

And this will be my last post on the subject too.
Just wanted to state I am perfectly in line with the point of view already very well exposed by Darksoul71. Also sorry for jeopardising the thread of MrC with this sort of little useful posts. I hope, and I recommend everybody to switch back on topic ASAP. Quote:

Now it does not make any sense to change "on the fly" AVStoDVD 2.1.0 license. With next release, available within few days, I will move to Public Domain. From http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/categories.html:

Coming back to technical issues. Two questions to users:
1. Are there any solid reasons (quality, speed, compatibility, ...) to move from QuEnc to Aften as AC3 encoder? 2. Do you use AVStoDVD internal "Preview Clip" feature? Any problems? Somebody reported program crash or video/audio absence. I had some trouble with ffdshow nigthly builds, but using ffdshow stable releases, everything is ok. Bye |

Any chance to test minimum bitrate customization? Does it work as per your expectations? Bye |

I do personally believe that aften has better quality at the same bitrate. Honestly speed I really don't pay attention because encoding ac3 really doesn't take that long now adays. There both really fast. Compatibility I would say goes to aften. I stopped using quenc because I had compatibility problems with it. These are my experiences. Take a look at the aften thread here at doom9. There's not much technical shit that I found but maybe if you look around. I don't go by that though, I use my ears. I really didn't say get rid of quenc, I really just meant give the users the option what the like better whether it be quenc or aften.
Um, as far as the gizzin build went. It completely flawlessly but is greatly undersized only at 3.25gb. I haven't burned it and played it in my standalone yet but I'm doing that right now. I'm gonna watch the whole thing, so if there's any menu, or playback issues I will edit this post otherwise all is well. On a sidenote, Installing a proper decoder fixed my stuttering issues, so It was for sure my end. Edit vtses 6, 11, 12 seems like they didnt encode properly but yet the muxed, but when they are played all you see is a gray screen with audio playing. this would explain the undersize because those vtes are 1/4 the size of the others. the rest of vtes are about 450megs, all the files are generally the same in length. weird probably a decoder problem? what decoder do you use mr. c Last edited by gizzin; 5th September 2008 at 08:34.

Last reply for me too.
I wanna suggest all to take a look at this interesting (and quite recent) article: Court: violating copyleft = copyright infringement Last note: glad to see the license change (even if you must keep in mind that PD means "no copyright", so you can't stop ripoffs, code stole, etc...), btw you should ask tool's respective authors for bundling anyway. That's all.
