FAVC - v1.07 (Auto Menu Generation) (19/06/08)

[~bT~]

Not currently that I know of, aside from editing the Title.bat file manually. Either it's beyond the scope of the application, being quite complicated for the average user, or I may add it via a secret/hidden advanced options tab.Any chance of shedding more light on this pls?

[Mr_Odwin]

Any chance of shedding more light on this pls?

FAVC produces a Title.bat file in the Working Folder that looks something like this:

This is the whole video conversion process from avi to dvd.
Under where it says Encoding Video is the command line for QuEnc. You can add

-cmatrix "Path to xvid matrix file in txt or xcm format.txt"

to the command line. Save your changes in the Title.bat file and then double click on it. The process will commence using your custom matrices.

Thanx alot!!!

FAVC 0.70 is now available and the links in the first post reflect this update. Simple multicore support has been added by generating multiple Avisynth scripts and adding trim commands to the end of them.

Multiple core (2) went well. Thanks very much for adding multicore support. 1/2 D1 showed 2 instances running at 90 fps. The 2 parts were recombined ok.

/add: Looks like it is something to do with the specific avi file. I edited the same command line to point at another avi and it did not throw the exception. I'll do more testing.

/add2: Worked perfectly on another AVI file which brings up a question - Do you know if Avi2Wav has trouble with larger files? The first test Avi was 2.6 gigs in size.

[Mr_Odwin]

I have just tried to use avi2wav with a large avi file and can confirm that it balks. I'll have this fixed for the next release.

[DDogg]

I have just tried to use avi2wav with a large avi file and can confirm that it balks. I'll have this fixed for the next release. Thanks for the confirmation. Most folks will not encounter 2.6 g avi's. I was experimenting with one of my longer DVD's using 1 pass XVid at 80% quality which made the file really large. It was the first AVI I had close at hand.

I sent you a PM on another subject.

[Episodio1]

How much does it take to create a DVD from a 2h AVI (xvid+mp3)?

[Mr_Odwin]

How much does it take to create a DVD from a 2h AVI (xvid+mp3)?

How much what?

Download the program, load the video file, configure some very trivial options and then press the generate button. Depending on your options chosen, cpu speed, etc you'll have a dvd ready to be burned in a little while.

[Episodio1]

How long. ;)

Ok, thanks.

[insertdisk]

I just tried this on a .wmv that I could not get to sync up no matter how hard I tried with other programs. Nero would make the audio and video sync but the video was jerky.

This has done an excellent job. I look forward to the HC support.
Thanks for this tool.

[Mr_Odwin]

Cheers. Thanks should go to the authors of Avisynth and Mediainfo; they're the ones that have enabled wmv support.

[Grumpy Troll]

Hello,

Thanks for a great program. :thanks:

I have been looking for a converter for .avi files with MP3 audio. A couple of commercial ones available, but too expensive. Yours, free. Can't beat that. ;)

Converted a DivX file with MP3 audio with your program. Great results. took about four hours but not complaining. Works excellent in stand alone DVD player for TV. As stated before, really jerky when tested with Power DVD (OEM) but played better than expected on my stand alone player. :D

Looking forward to any and all updates, too.


Thanks a million,
Grumpy

[DDogg]

> 2 gig source problem seems fixed
slight oversizing problem with multiple episodes also seems fixed

Thanks!

[Grumpy Troll]

Hello again,

How about support for CCE Basic? It is commercial (around US$50.00) and it is fast and good.

Regards,
Grumpy

[sunburnedagain]

Kinda a noob question, I haven't encoded in awhile. :o You feed FAVC an encoded AVI (DivX Xvid) not just a post-processed AVI? What I mean by post-processed is deinterlaced+filters, cutting, etc, but still only Huffyuv compressed?

The audio it takes is only MP3 and ACM3?

I'm still getting a hang of the language, hopefully my question is clear enough. :D

Yes, a completely encoded, finished .avi such as you get with Auto Gordian Knot, Dr DivX, etc. Your archived ready for viewing .avi file. Just set up your paremeters for encoding and in a fiew hours you will get an image file for burning to disk or it will burn directly to disk for you. ;) It is a simple, straightforward program.

Sincerely,
Grumpy

PS
I had some problems at first but found out that if you change your TV standards (PAL to NTSC or NTSC to PAL) it works. :D

I installed avisynth 2.5.7 rc1 and deleted version 2.5.6 but it did not help. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

[Mr_Odwin]

Can you open the corresponding TitleInfo0.avs file in Working Folder 11 with virtualdub? What does the error message say, if there is one?

[DDogg]

For that matter, can you play the avi's you are trying to encode? Also, can you "play" (drag and drop) the Title0.avs in media player, or media player classic (it may take awhile to show video), or open/drag and drop in VDub?

[tyee]

I'm just starting to try out FAVC and I get the error window that usually comes up when the incorrect AVISynth version is wrong ( I have ver 2.57 installed).

When I try to play "title0info.avs" in MPC, AVISynth says it can't find the proper decompressor for fourCC XVID even though I can play that "spideytrailer.avi" XVID file fine on my computer. Anything come to mind??

[Myenjoyyourself]

OK
I have an avi file that plays fine in Windows Media Player that I want to burn on a dvd using Nero. The problem is Nero doesn't recognize the file type. So I downloaded FAVC, Avisynth 2.57 and .NET framework 2.0 to convert it into a file Nero would recognize.

I opened working folder 11, title0Info and this is there>

I'm not sure what this "VDUB" is that you speak of. I hope this post gives you some kind of idea of what I'm talking about. Cause I sure don't.:o

[Mr_Odwin]

The way that FAVC works is by running the above script through a program and the running of the script produces a text file with some required information in it - framerate, framecount, interlacing status, etc. If the script doesn't work (for whatever reason) then the text file isn't there and FAVC crashes. In the future I'll add some code that checks for the presence of the file so that it won't crash, but produce a warning/helpful error message.
If you have an avi file it is required that avisynth's avisource() function opens it correctly, if it doesn't then it is most likely a codec issue on your side. For example if you have an xvid file try uninstalling your xvid codec and reinstalling it. Or configure it correctly.
Virtualdub is a program that can open avisynth scripts. It will give you appropriate error messages if there are any.

Anything come to mind?? Suggest you go to this page and download and install the file at the very top. http://www.koepi.org/xvid.shtml After that, open windows media player (not classic) or VDub and verify the original avi and the title0.avs file will play.

I was getting the exact same message until I figured out that to load the avi file into FAVC you should choose the "select" button underneath the Source video files selection box and not the "+" button beside the video files selection box.

[Mr_Odwin]

I was getting the exact same message until I figured out that to load the avi file into FAVC you should choose the "select" button underneath the Source video files selection box and not the "+" button beside the video files selection box.

That shouldn't make any difference. The difference between the two buttons is that one clears the list before adding the files whilst the other appends files to the end of the current list. In the version that I'm working on there's a bit of a GUI overhaul and the select button is gone.

[tyee]

DDogg
Thanks for the suggestion. It works now that I installed XVID. Do you know why it didn't before?

tyee

[Miraelsol]

Great application!!! :thanks:
I've been using it for the last few weeks and it works great. I'm sure you have a long list of features you could add, but my humble suggestion would be to create some simple DVD menu that allows selecting which track to play.
Thanks again!

[Grumpy Troll]

Hello all,

Just my opinion as a user, not a knowlegeable coder or anything else.

I like FAVC because of it's simplicity and ease of use. It is simple, straightforward and does excactly what it is supposed to do, nothing else. No confusing setups to fumble through and waist hours with. Really elegant for a user such as myself.

DIKO is a complete program and comes in two versions, "free" and "Gold". Free is....free. Gold,costs around $30 US. I am using the free version. Works great, once I fumbled thru the setup. Has many features such as adding your own menus and support for subtitles. For me, it was a little confusing and difficult to set up. Once I figured out how to use the "help" files to setup (took about one hour and many mistakes on my part) it worked wonderfly. Still haven't got to "menu" adding but soon. Also supports several freeware encoders and CCE SP. It doesn't support CCE Basic, wish it would.

This is not an expert opinion, I'm not an expert. Just a semi-skilled user of these programs.

Sincerely,
Grumpy

hey, nice tool
but it would be nice if the working folders would be in the TEMP directory or in another place (configurable).
i have a partition only for programs and there is no space for a DVD ;)

[Mr_Odwin]

It's a good idea and one I've considered before. It'll not be in the next release, but it's on my list of things to do.
The next release needs some bugs ironing out and then it'll be ready, before Christmas hopefully.

I'm getting the sme error and when i try to load the corresponding avs in vdub, i get the following error (http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/9001/errorms1.jpg) :confused:


I understand that basically it's not a big problem and all it takes is changing the avs script a little bit, but is there a way for FAVC to do it automatically?

[Nick Less]

oh yes, another request - could it be possible to add the option to manually specify the output filesize and to output the files as a single mpg file? Since there's no support for subs yet, this would be great for simply importing the mpg into dvd authoring program.

[Mr_Odwin]

There is still no support for subtitles (it may be in the next release) but I have added an option to specify the output size. Currently FAVC will always author a dvd but you can choose to keep the temporary files and you should be able to import the relevant files from the "Working Folder" into an authoring application.

FAVC 0.80 is out (Check the first post for links). It seems like I've been working on it forever, and it's still not really where I wanted it to be. You can see that HC support is coming soon - but you can't use it in this release. Sorry for the tease. :p

The main movements are an overhauled GUI, and dvd authoring is now done by Muxman through BatchMux (Thanks Sir Didymus!).

[emazur]

Do you plan on allowing .ogm as input anytime soon? I've never used an AVI to DVD program before but noticed DIKO Gold supports ogm, but that version is not freeware. Fairuse Wizard outputs ogm that's why I like it

[arkoko]

Hi.
What is vdr files?
Is it Video Disk Recorder's by Klaus Schmidinger?

I have some captures (001.vdr, 002.vdr), but generated avs script does not working opening these files.

The vdr file extension that FAVC supports is a frameserved file from VirtualDub. Apologies for the confusion.

I have a problem with FAVC 0.80, when I try to process an input file D:\temp\FILM.AVI at the beginning I have the following error : FAVC is unable to process the following files ...

It seems that the input file is missing in the AVS script, is it normal ?

Thanks in advance for your reply

[Mr_Odwin]

You seem to have found a small bug. Try renaming it to FILM.avi (lower case "avi").

[Dirk-Pitt]

You seem to have found a small bug. Try renaming it to FILM.avi (lower case "avi").
Ok, it's working now. Thx.

By the way, it seems that you have anther problem with accents ie at home, my folder was D:\Vidéo. The line is here in the script but there is a problem with the é char, something like char encoding ...

Anyway :thanks:

[Mr_Odwin]

FAVC v0.90 is out. (Check the first post for links).

The main additions are HC may now be used for encoding and Multicore support is improved by using BatchMux (Muxman) to do the m2v merging during the authoring step.

[magicclue]

what am I DOING wrong?

I add an AVI
I click on generate and the popping up encoder says:
"error: height must be a multiple of 4"

I don't use any special resize etc.

[Mr_Odwin]

Can you give me some more details? What is the height/width of the original avi? What video encoding settings are you using (resolution especially)?

[Dr.Khron]

Ok, so I got an error the first time I went to use the program!

Its an AviSynth script error:

"ERROR, Script error: DirectShowSource does not have a named argument "ConvertFPS"


EDIT:
DOH! Nevermind, I just had an old version of AviSynth installed.

[Dr.Khron]

Is there a way to have FAVC do its analysis and produce the batch file, but NOT run it immediately? I didn't find an option for that.


Once again, cool program. I'm looking forward to playing with it more.

[magicclue]

Can you give me some more details? What is the height/width of the original avi? What video encoding settings are you using (resolution especially)?

Details:
Video: XVID 624x352 23.98fps 853Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 145Kbps [Audio 1]

FAVC encoding settings:

Full D1, PAL
HC encoder "Balance" preset

FAVC starts analyzing, HC pops up and says: error height must be multiple of 4.
But I tried several videos and it did not work.

best regards.

This video also doesn't work.

Video: XVID 352x288 25.00fps 984Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 44100Hz stereo 141Kbps [Audio 1]

FAVC says:

Any ideas?
Thanks!

FAVC isn't working for my PAL AVI files. (trying to make a NTSC DVD)

The video encodes just fine, but the audio synch is WAY off. Really far off.

I tried all four combinations of video and audio encoders:
QuEnc & QuEnc, QuEnc & Aften, HC & QuEnc, and HC & Aften.

It didn't work in any of these cases.

Looking at the BAT, I see that FAVC is using AVISynth to serve the input file to the audio transcoder. I'm not familiar with this technique, so I don't understand what all the line switches do.

The only thing I can think is that the audio needs to be fixed for the PAL to NTSC conversion. Is there a switch for that in AviSynth?

Details:
Video: XVID 624x352 23.98fps 853Kbps [Video 0]
Audio: MPEG Audio Layer 3 48000Hz stereo 145Kbps [Audio 1]

FAVC encoding settings:

Full D1, PAL
HC encoder "Balance" preset

FAVC starts analyzing, HC pops up and says: error height must be multiple of 4.
But I tried several videos and it did not work.

best regards.

FAVC should create a Title#.avs for each file it analyses (where) # is a number. If you open the avs file in virtualdub you can see what the width and height are that are being passed to HC, under File>File Information. Check that please.
Another possibility would be that you have checked the box that says user defined framerate conversion. Just go to the advanced tab and make sure that none of that stuff is checked.

For the second video it may be a foreign language thing - try getting rid of accents/non-english characters.

But, if it plays in Windows Media Player then FAVC should be able to convert it.

Try going into the advanced scripting tab and ticking the box marked" Use DirectShowSource instead of AVISource". Alternatively, reload an avi into avimuxgui and remux it (same audio and video) - this remuxed avi file will likely be in sync after conversion.

Thanks for the help.

Using the "Use DirectShowSource instead of AVISource" switch produces a SILENT DVD, with no audio at all. Whats wierd is that the AC3 file is 2 MB big, but contains nothing but silence. Weird.

Well, I'll try re-muxing the AVI files first, as you suggested.


EDIT:
Well, its just not working. No matter what I do, I can't get these files to synch up in the final DVD. That workaround I came up with for using AVI2DVD to do the sound and CCE to encode has produced the best results so far.

What exactly is AVIMuxGUI doing to the AVI files? The resulting files have been slightly smaller... If its not changing the audio delay, what could it be changing about the interleave?

Not possible.
See picture.
