new tool: sARc

mod · 25th June 2006, 20:48

I've made a little tool for the compression from d2v to xvid, via AviSynth and xvid_encraw, and decided to share it, maybe someone finds it useful.
I made it for my backups for SAP, so a lot of options are not "visible", but I'll have really no problem making changes!

ATM it just encodes video because for audio tracks and subs I use different tools.
Who wants to report errors or give suggestions..

sARc page - .Net 2.0 Required

Note: I'm trying to get informations about the correct values of overhead in avi files to get more correct values in the bitrate, so any help would be nice!

When I click on your: download xvid_encraw [7z] link, I get a web page full of text!

Is it just me?

Cheers

You need to "Right Click" on the link, or the browser will open the file..

I admit I wrote it only in ita, I'm going to correct, thanks..

EDIT: page corrected.

Hmmm... I tried that and all I get is an option to save: xvid_encraw 20060502.htm

Are you using IExplorer? I've just tried with Firefox and it works.. but IExplorer doesn't work.. never happened before.. It simply doesn't see the file. Going to investigate..

EDIT: I have to correct myself: the file is saved also with IE, but no window is opened.

SeeMoreDigital · 26th June 2006, 10:38

I actually managed to save the file by changing the .htm file extension to .7z

Web browsers eh!!!

mod · 26th June 2006, 10:38

I hate IE !! ^^
I'll have to find a solution if the problem remains..

EDIT: I just corrected one of the scripts, Blockbuster() removed from 001

Add

Code:

application/x-7z-compressed	7z

to Apache's mime.types file (assuming that's under your control), otherwise your server's handing out a mime-type of "text/html", which IE will try to render the file as.

@Antaeogo

I can't, I just put an info.htaccess file with

AddType application/x-7z-compressed 7z

in the main folder..

Antaeogo · 26th June 2006, 11:21

No Go, to do that in .htaccess, you need the ability to override the FileInfo directives where your 7z files are. (AllowOverride FileInfo has to be configured for your vhost/directory in the main .conf files). But, AIUI, that's beyond your control and something your host must change.

In the end, it's no big deal, everyone just needs to rename the file to a .7z extension.

Thanks! Ok, I'll write it in the page ^^

SeeMoreDigital · 26th June 2006, 11:27

I have a similar issue with files I store on my sub-domain server!

That's a consequence of free web hosting.. btw.. I've changed the page, now it should be clear

PS: This isn't getting a thread about html parsing.. isn't it?

Haha, the SMD link redirects to:
http://www.awardspace.com/articles/d...b_hosting.html
from the forum. I bet it's checking referrers.

Works fine off your site though.

That's because Mods original link was: -
h**p://meslor.awardspace.com/files/xvid_encraw%2020060502 Which was changed to: -
h**p://meslor.awardspace.com/files/xvid_encraw_20060502

I added an english translation of the italian page..

Are there any commandline options? I would like to start your tool out of batch -files

Hmmm.. the tool is a GUI for xvid_encraw, so making a command line would not make sense to me..
Would it be good an option to create the .BAT file? I mean: you open a .d2v, select all your options, choose and edit the .avs, set codec settings and then APPEND the all work in a .BAT file (sort of job list).
Would it be good for you?

@all: any report about bugs or suggestions? Does it work

?

mod · 27th June 2006, 18:13

I've just compiled v. 0.3.0.5

- added custom matrix support
- now it's possible to choose also the starting frame for the encoding
