WMV Tester

buzzqw · 21st July 2007, 17:30

Hi all
for debugging pourpose i create a little application

http://www.64k.it/andres/data/a/WMV-test02.exe

this program when launched ask for what profile of wmv to test (wvc1, wmv9,wmv8,wmv7)

when start is clicked it will drop a simple avs and wmcmd.vbs by Zambelli and launch the encoder, at end it will play the wmv created

if i broken any copyright write down here, otherwise the application is quite handy for checking if codec is correctly installed

Does it automatically verify that a suitable decoder is installed too or is that up to the user to figure out based on the playback result?
Also, the dependency on WMCmd.vbs introduces a dependency on WME9, which is probably unnecessary if you're just testing whether a codec is present.

the tester is quite stupid

if the encoder fails no wmv is created, if avisynth is incorrect installed the playback of version.wmv will show errors

it's pourpose is to verify if encoder is installed and working

about dependencies thanks for the hints!

Great app! I have been getting csript error ("MS Console based script host has stopped working" error) with this app and also on AutoMKV. I can't figure out how to solve this problem.

look at WVC1 section http://automkv.wiki-site.com/index.php/Installation

Thanks jeffey, that worked. I tried adding cscript to the DEP exception list but it wouldn't let me. Once DEP is completely disabled, WMV tester and AutoMKV now works.

Now I have to figure out how to get 5.1 WMV from a 5.1 AC3. The final output is always stereo. From what I've read, extracting and then loading the AC3 manually into AutoMKV will work. Thanks jeffey and buzzqw.

5.1 sound in WMV is now working after updating to AC3filter 1.46. I was using 1.45b before.
