@manolito
since the output of a 'ilme' only conversion seems to be ok (from mediainfo report) and adding 'ildct' and 'alternate_scan' does produce the same output (better in quality?), let's ask to the community, maybe they can give us some hints: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=167995 http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/3...ding?p=2245175 Bye |

Another example for the miserable state off ffmpeg documentation:
-flags +ilme+ildct+alt -top 1 You still find this in the current ffmpeg online documentation, but since early 2012 the '-flags alt' paramter does not work any more. For current versions of ffmpeg you have to use '-alternate_scan 1' instead. I still remember how long it took me to find this when WinFF was upgraded and used a newer ffmpeg version. And from all the different forum comments I can only assume that almost nobody uses ffmpeg for encoding interlaced content... Cheers manolito |

Thanks manolito for the useful and patient research over the web. FFmpeg is really a nice piece of sw, but probably its scope has somehow "exploded" during the years.
BTW, coming back on topic, using only 'ilme', have you found any theoretical or visual issues in the output mpeg2? I have planned to release 2.7.0 Final (with only 'ilme') tomorrow, I would not like to release a bugfix the day after... Bye |

Not sure about 'ildct', but IMO '-alternate_scan 1' should be set for every interlaced encode.
Have a look here (I have no idea how old this is...) http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FFMPEG_...ags_Flags#ilme My personal preference would be to also set 'ildct' for all interlaced encodes... Chees manolito |

No problem here...
http://i42.tinypic.com/bhfu9u.jpg Maybe your browser is caching an older sourceforge page? Cheers manolito |

Strange, this has never happened to me.
Even after loading the webadress with a new request, still the old version was showing. But clearing the browser cache did the trick. Finally 2.7.0 on Soundforge was showing up. So, thank you manolito and of course MrC for steady updating AVStoDVD. |

Hi MrC,
Normally I stay as far away from dvds as possible, but last week I made some camera shots from a friend's wedding and he asked me if I could burn it on dvd. I've once used DVDFlick in the past, but that's all. Now I decided to install and give AVStoDVD a try. In the end I managed to create a nice dvd, but with quite some effort. It turns out the custom Avisynth-script I enter in the "Title Edit"-Avisynth-tab isn't saved for the encoding process. In the end it does end up in the log-file (see below), but the Avisynth-script that AVStoDVD creates in the system's Temp directory to work with, will always be the "Auto AviSynth Script"! When I untick "Auto AviSynth Script" and then press any key, the text becomes red, while it first was black. What's that about? This is the source and my script: Code:
<20-6-2013 19:57:30> TITLE 1 SOURCE FILES Video: D:\Trouwerij\script_dvd.avs Info: AviSynth - 0 kbps - 1920x1080 - DAR 1 - 50 fps (CFR) - 34:36 minutes - 103830 frames Audio 1: D:\Trouwerij\script_dvd.avs Info: AviSynth - 0 kbps - CBR - 2 ch - 48000 Hz - 34:36 minutes (0 ms delay) [A2DInfo.avsi] <> <20-6-2013 19:57:30> AVISYNTH SCRIPT vid1=FFMpegSource2("D:\Trouwerij\00002.mkv", atrack=-1) vid2=FFMpegSource2("D:\Trouwerij\00003.mkv", atrack=-1).FadeOut(100) vid3=FFMpegSource2("D:\Trouwerij\00004.mkv", atrack=-1).FadeIO(100) vid4=FFMpegSource2("D:\Trouwerij\00005.mkv", atrack=-1).FadeIn(100) vid=vid1+vid2+vid3+vid4 Video=vid.FadeIO(200) Video=Video.Spline64Resize(720,576).SelectEven() Audio=vid.FadeIO(400) AudioDub(Video,Audio) <> Code:
Audio = Import("D:\Trouwerij\script_dvd.avs") Video = Import("D:\Trouwerij\script_dvd.avs") Video = Video.ConvertToYV12() Video = Video.Spline64Resize(720,576,0,420,0,-420) Video = Video.SelectEven() AudioDub(Video, Audio) I luckily found a work-around however: - Start the encoding process and abort right away. - Delete the log-file it just created in the source-directory. - Open an Explorer window and go to C:\DOCUME~1\<username>\LOCALS~1\Temp (WinXP) or C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp (Win7) - Start the encoding process again. - A message appears (for only a minute or so) that the m2v-file it tries to create in the C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Videos (WinXP) or C:\Users\<username>\Videos\ (Win7) directory already exists, with the question whether or not to overwrite it. - This gives you some time to open AVStoDVD's working script in the system's Temp directory, copy-paste your custom Avisynth script and to save it. Surely this wasn't your intention with AVStoDVD I hope?! Oh, and another thing. Apparently AVStoDVD does save the custom chapter-list in the a2d-file, but fails to load the list upon reopening the project.

@CoRoNe
it seems you have found a nice bug in the 2.7.0 release! The AviSynth script becomes red when the user changes something and it is inteded to be used instead of auto script. This feature is unfortunately broken in 2.7.0 release (it works until 2.6.0). About the excessive letterboxing, it is caused by the wrong aspect ratio detected in the source AviSynth file (1 vs 1.778). You can tweak the DAR by using 'Title'/'Edit Source Title Info'/'Video Display Aspect Ratio'. Insert 1.778 instead of 1. At last you can avoid all the stop-and-go process. About the chapters list not loaded, I know there's that issue. Anyway, thanks for the report. Within few days I should publish a new 2.7.1 release with all these annoying things (and some more) fixed. Bye |

I created the dvd on a family member's laptop (Win7), because with it's quad-core Intel Core i5 cpu it's much more powerful than the AMD Athlon XP 3200+ in my own computer (yes, it's that old! ) (WinXP). However, I wanted to see if the custom-Avisynth-script-issue was a computer-specific issue, so I installed AVStoDVD on my pc as well, only to find out it can't load Avisynth-scripts:
Cannot find 'C:\DOCUME~1\Admin\LOCALS~1\Temp\AVSInfo.txt' (Timeout 60 seconds). script_dvd.avs for testing purposes, on both computers, consists only of: Code:
FFMpegSource2("D:\Trouwerij\00005.mkv", atrack=-1) Code:
Import("C:\Program Files\Media\AVStoDVD\Lib\A2DInfo.avsi") A2DInfo("D:\Trouwerij\script_dvd.avs", "D:\Trouwerij\AVSInfo.txt", true) Code:

Do you have any idea? Thanks for your effort and thanks in advance for 2.7.1!

It could be that, with the Athlon, 60 seconds timeout is not enough to complete the A2DInfo routine, with the more load due to the full indexing made by FFMpegSource2. Have you tried to switch to DirectShowSource? Since DSS does not require the full indexing, the A2DInfo output should be faster.

Although it's equally true that 'there's something wrong with avs2avi', but it has nothing to do with old hardware. It's just that avs2avi is old [and mostly(?) unmaintained] and the stuff it distilled from VirtualDub hasn't been updated in years...possibly not since 2004. If anything, it's more likely that avs2avi would stop working with newer versions of Windows and/or AviSynth than it would with older versions of either of them. |

I'm using the latest SET version of Avisynth 2.6.
Just trying some tests and noticed that when I use HC under AVStoDVD it keeps crashing immediately. I'm using Win7 64-bit and AVStoDVD can't find avisynth even if it's there...

@qyot27
actually Avs2Avi can be easily replaced with FFmpeg for NULL output encoding. Will do. @cweb I have never checked the compatibility between AviSynth 2.6 and AVStoDVD. Any other users experiences? Bye |
