D2SRoBa 3.80 Released

[tylo]

3.80 Released
http://home.broadpark.no/~tylovset/d...D2SRoBa380.exe

----------------------------------------------------------------
v3.60
The greatest new feature is conditional filtering for DVD output (or when selecting a fixed number of CD's for SVCD). In this case, the filter will be triggered when Q goes over the 'Auto Q' value (now renamed to 'Threshold Q' value).

The setup can optionally configure the conditional filtering, by modifying the standard resizers (including FACAR). It then also installs the filter with Undot().Deen() and the undot.dll and deen.dll in your avisynth plugin folder if not present.

Note: Although the avisynth.ini resizers adds an 'Import(...)' line, the filtering isn't triggered when using D2S alone (e.g multipass) - the imported script is then empty!

Check the history page for what else is new.

v3.50
- new icon
- added: ini entry: minimize (0=no, 1=yes, 2=(default) when log win is minimized)
- added: ini entry: max_num_cds (default=32). set to 2 if you want max 2 CDs
- improved: tweak to skip some unneeded sample tests
- improved: changed some default values

v3.49
- added: browse for Rejig on setup (if not already set)
- improved: small optimalization/fix in Qsearch

v3.4.8
- reuploaded to work with ReJig.exe
- fixed: bugs from v3.4.7 and v3.4.6 (cce open and shutdown)
- changed: Cmd. line in Requant.exe - compat. with ReJig.exe (config ini file)
- improved: small thing in QSearch again (hmm)
- fixed: Avisynth setup compability issue
- improved: more testing - e.g. for not using frameserving
- improved: robustness with cce 2.50 text input
- improved: more log info

v3.4.4
- fixed: Q search bug intoduced in v3.4.2
- changed: creation of D2SRoBa.avs - may fix a problem with corrupt .avs files
- changed: very minor tweaks

v3.4.2
- added: new build of Requant.exe (modified from Makira's latest source - included)
- fixed: Q search in rare situations
- improved: better first guess of Q (for fixed number of CDs)
- improved: log text
- tips: Use EclCCE v1.8b or later, and check 'Hide shutdown button' checkbox

v3.4.1
- fixed: Now calculates num. of sample frames (instead of launching CCE for it)

v3.4.0
- fixed: Requant.exe modified to not create read-only output files (source included)
- fixed: Batch run: Now uses global d2sroba.ini file if project ini file is missing
- added: Support for EclCCE v1.8. Supports older versions too (shows a note)
- added: With EclCCE v1.8, CCE opens minimized, thanks to RB
- added: Greyed out GUI controls which are not used
- added: Re-introduced "educated guessing" on first Q for fixed num. CDs
- changed: Replaced 'Adjust Q' with 'Adjust %' (default 1.0%)
- changed: Batch command line is now like D2S's. Try D2SRoBa.exe -?
- changed: Num CDs can be up to 32 now
- changed: D2SRoBa_log.txt now in same directory as dvd2svcd_log.txt
- changed: Some default values
- improved: Made Q search more robust
- improved: Log text more accurate

Note the new batch line: Equal to DVD2SVCD command line, but '-d2s:...' must be first argument. Example: The following will open a project and use the local d2sroba.ini file if it is there, otherwise the global:

D2SRoBa -d2s:"path\dvd2svcd project file.d2s"

Hi,

In the meantime, using 3.4.0rc3, I have had two instances where "waiting for CCE window" did not appear in the D2SRoBa window. DVD2DVD & CCE completed the job, but of course without RoBa's intervention, the size of the job was wrong. I rebooted the machine and tried again with no joy. However, on the third attempt (after closing D2SRoBa & D2S, then re-launching D2SRoBa) it worked. I'm confused, but at the moment I've given you all the info I can about the problem. I will post more if I can establish more deterministic information.

EDIT: I've tried it several times this evening, and I can't reproduce the fault. If no-one else reports it, don't worry about it. My machine was behaving very strangely yesterday evening. Spumux wasn't working, and then I came home tonight to find it was working ok again - I've phoned Mulder & Scully, but they said they'd retired.

Regards,
Bob

Batch function now works FLAWLESSLY! I have fixed my little guide and we now have BATCH avi PAL-->Ntsc conversions!
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...310#post460310

No more going thru steps needlessly! Now I can setup 10-15 files to convert overnight.

[DDogg]

tylo, I notice RB has a new version of eclcce out. I think one particular item may cause you some grief if I remember correctly.

"- Fixed: create_new_vaf ECL option was reversed. Now create_new_vaf=1 really sets "Create new file" and create_new_vaf=0 sets "Use existing file".

Note to all D2s beta Testers - test site has been updated

Using D2SRoBa v3.4.0 RC3, I have got a Transcoding pass result: 66.1% on target (2819503323 / 4266563190).

Checking the transcoded file I realised that transcoding stopped after 45 minutes of movie.Is there any explanation for this?

On the other hand it seems that the "read only" problem has been fixed.Log file is following:

Checking the transcoded file I realised that transcoding stopped after 45 minutes of movie.Is there any explanation for this?

I can just offer a suggestion. Before anybody can really figure it out you would first have to swear on your firstborn that you had run the prime95 torture test for 6-24 hours without any failure, and do so at the approximate same ambient room temperature that you had at time of failure.

Failure due to CPU heat would be the very first area I would check. I say this cause I had it happen to me the other day when the room was unusually hot. Took me forever to figure out what was going on.

...here I cancelled the encode, forgot to set cond.siz.pass under to -1.0 (don't like -3.0) and I wanted to do an encode without deen.
Problem:
Q=15 gives an error of +0.9%
Q=16 gives an error of -0.1%
'Adjust %'=1.5 makes D2SRoBa use Q=14 - Q=16 is close enough, ok, with some estimating-impresiceness (sample not 100%), Q=15 is still the best (?), requant could do the rest if necessary.
Q=14 would probably cause an error bigger than 0.9%

Next encode:

Finding Nemo (I used undot but who cares (I don't really know if it is a good idea to use undot, deen or evenboth (aka KISS) on material like that - as you can see, with KISS (see above) gives you a better Q, but I didn't give me the possibility to compare the quality).
Interesting: estimated bitrates of Q=16 and Q=21 are very close (hehe, a really mystery Q-machine).
Now I set 'Adjust %' to 0.9.

With 'Adjust %'=0.9 I am really satisfied, under 1.0 seems to be my 'sweet spot' (hmmm ;-P)

Tell me if sharing the logs or only quoting the interesting parts is better instead of making such a big post.
Experimenting with 'Finding Nemo' is possible if wanted.
So far Tylo, great work, once again.

[ddogg-Edited with size tags]

[DDogg]

tylo, I have a DVD test just started using 2 audio tracks. The line from the log [rc6] seems to indicate D2SRoBa is only using 1 of the audio tracks in the calcs. This may not be so, but I thought I would bring up the subject in the oft chance you check this post before the encode is completed and I actually know whether the size target is accurate.

/add1:I think you are picking it up after re-examining the log and seeing the D2S bitrate estimation, but the line in bold is confusing.

/add2: No problem, the filesize is fine. The text of the log was confusing to me. Just a cosmetics issue, if one at all.

Seems like we're closing in on a stable release now

@DDogg:
Yes, as you say, it it picking up the second audio, but the printout may be misleading, or non-complete. Don't think I'll do anything.

Regarding your request on using many segments (i.e. num of CDs). Well, it took me some time to realize what you where aiming at, but I think the basic idea is superb. /EDIT: [At first I had doubts, and thought that the content of a 4350 disk wouldn't fit on eight 545 meg disks because of the header alignment overhead (15 kbps). But the total media size is not changed, so that should not apply].
Should work great!

About reduction of CDs when filter is applied: yes, the release v3.4.0 will reduce num CDs with more than one if that should ever occur. Up to 32 segments supported!

@Tylo, don't forget to check out DDogg's comment on EclCCE 1.8, it may make our life miserable (although it minimizes CCE now!). Besides, the new DVD2SVCD RC1 has sort of changed the INI files, according to the readme.

Seems that all geniuses have decided to release at once!

I'll wait for this to cool down before updating the FAQ.

[DDogg]

tylo, being able to generate the optimized DVD elementary streams via auto SVCD mode is interesting to me. I certainly did not do a very good job of explaining my thoughts on the method, so I very much appreciate your vote of confidence. As you know, it allows the use of SVCD auto-mode and the conditional filter to create DVD elementary streams that achieve the user preset Q/quality target while ensuring the final size is always on the edge of a user specified DVD increment (1/4,1/8,1/16,and it sounds like 1/32 in the release, of a DVD disk). This ensures absolutely no wasted space, so it it easy to author multiple movies on one DVD with matched quality using one's favorite authoring tool.

However, I think the method is rather 'one off' for most people, and in fact I doubt the technique will be used much. So, I don't think it is worth too much additional effort on your part except for the segment increase [and multi-segment reduction upon conditional filter success. 32 segments would be perfect!]. That is very good news and thanks a lot for even considering it.

After the new D2SRoBa and DVD2X releases, I'll do a small writeup on the method for those that want to experiment with it.

On that note, I wanted to say how much I'm looking forward to the two releases (finally), D2SRoBa and D2S together allow extreme high quality (the highest IMHO), the highest speed, and the ultra minimization of file-size to be all rolled up together in one solution for both SVCD and movie-only DVD. It is a winning combination that should be around for a long time and I think a ton of people are going to really appreciate the huge effort both you and D2S have put forth. Especially after they download them and see the end result of all these impossibly long winded and flatulent threads. (:-D!)

Hey Dog, why don't you dust off that old "say thanks and how about a donation" thread. It is surely deserved again.

Humm... I think that as DDogg splitted the thread, it inherited the previous view number, so the vultures are actually the shadows of previous vultures.

[windtrader]

Good news! We have Shadow vultures around here and I let my kids out to play baseball; they are harmless

btw - anyone know how much time left for beta testing? I'd like to make sure they all muster up the energy to give it one last battery of acid tests. Humm maybe round of tests is better stated.

[manolito]

I did three successful encodes with RC6, no complaints at all. Of course I don't do any fancy stuff like convert to DVD, batch encodes, more than one audio stream and so on. Just plain SVCDs, all in size mode, about 90% are 1 CD encodes.

Adjust % default 1.8 seems to be too high. I think somewhere around 1.0 is good. Please share your experience, so I can set a good default for the release.

I abandoned jonny's Restrict Auto I-frame insertion trick and went back to the old method again (after encoding "The Insider" and getting a 18% undersized OPV encode), and with the old method a value of 3 for "Adjust %" seems to be the optimum for me.

Version 3.40 release

Thanks a million!

Upcoming v3.4.0 will be the last release for a while.

I hope you can stick to this when the next version of DVD2SVCD comes out. You sure deserve some rest from all of us here...

Hi Tylo,

Just a quick note of thanks for v3.4.1. I have done a couple of different DVD2DVD encodes here and everything seems fine. My last project was glueing together both sides of 'Schindler's list' using vobedit & ifoedit (giving a total of 12GB), stripping it with ifoedit leaving 9.5GB (one remaining AC3 6ch audio track), and reencoding with D2SRoBa & DVD2DVD with FACAR. The Q figure I first got was 55, so I decided to use undot&deen (KISS), and got it down to 41. Of course, the additional VBR sizing pass was used. I was surprised, it looks excellent considering the average bitrate is only 2.66Mbps!

I tried 3.4.1 and the sample size was ok, but i'm not so good in reading the log file what went wrong and why ended i up with a 1 cd rip instead of 2

Quite strange. The samples are consistently only a fraction of the size they should be. Can you post D2SRoBa.avs and D2SRoBa.ecl too?
