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

[danielk68]

thx for your answers, very appreciated.

i couldn't do what you adviced to me(pallets options are nor saved
for me). i'll ask in subtitle creator forum.

thx:thanks:

[Kaonashi]

This is an excellent tool and the fact that it supports italic and bold makes me want to leave Avi2Dvd.

Unfortunately I'm having audio problems. I tried to convert an AVI file with a MP3 track and the resulting DVD has a slight delay on the audio. What can be the cause of this?

I'm using the latest FAVC.

[Mr_Odwin]

The problem is most likely vbr mp3 audio. Avisynth tends to struggle with this - and often the offending avis are badly made also.

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.

[Kaonashi]

It seems to be working now. Thank you.

Have you ever considered adding support for other containers and/or other codecs?

[ookzDVD]

I have strange problem here,
the result video is rotated 180 degree.

[jolson]

...or maybe FlipVertical()...?

[Mr_Odwin]

I have strange problem here,
the result video is rotated 180 degree.

That is odd. I see that you have made quite a few posts on Doom9 so I'll assume that you are familiar with Avisynth.
In the Working Folder that is generated FAVC creates Title#.avs files for each video file that it is working with. If you can tell me what text is in the file that is associated with the video file that would be ideal.

I also found that in the working dir there's .m2v file
and when I play the m2v, the video is flipped.

thank you.

[Mr_Odwin]

Is the video flipped when you open the avs file in Virtualdub?
As you can see from the file, there is nothing really going on there - just AVISource and some simple manipulation.
Do you have the latest Avisynth? I'd install 2.5.7 if you haven't already.

The .avs is ok in virtualdub, i think it's quEnc's problem. :(
I'll try use HC, I'll post the result.

[ookzDVD]

The result with HC is still filpped :(

[ookzDVD]

I try my own created avi (xvid) and try favc it,
the result is ok, hmm... the problematic avi's fourcc is div3,
and the res. is 496x384.

[Mr_Odwin]

I did a forum search on "divx 3.11 video flipped" and the results suggested that it was a known problem. I would update my relevant codecs to the latest versions and if that doesn't work add "FlipVertical()" to one of the boxes in the advanced scripting tab (doesn't really matter which one).

[ookzDVD]

Ok, thank you for the info.
Btw, I also notice bad audio transfer, when i try avi (xvid+mp3) the audio is croppy. :(

I'm not sure why the audio would be croppy. What do you mean by croppy?

I'm also getting the flipped video on an XviD encoded file. I use ffdshow to play all my XviD encoded files. Could it be some problem there?

A suggestion: add a small box where the user can define the language code for the subtitles, so that they automatically load on a standalone DVD player.

Hi Mr Odwin,

I have installed FAV0.93 on my laptop which has Windows 2000 and on my desktop which has Windows XP.

FAVC works fine on my Windows XP ... but it does Not even get going on Windows 2000. I get the ERROR saying "Unhandled exception has occured ..." when I look into the Details it says "SystemAccesViolationException" ...

I reinstalled FAVC and reinstalled my .NET 2.0 and even reinstalled my Aviusynth 2.5.7RC3 ... and NO GO!

Q: What is my probelm? Or FAVC does not work with Win 2000?

Thanks,
G!:thanks:

[Mr_Odwin]

I don't have Windows 2000, so it's difficult for me to say whether it works for it at all, or not. And it's incredibly difficult for me to iron out bugs that I can't replicate.
I'm sorry it's not working out for you on the laptop.

[gonwk]

Hi Mr. Odwin,

Thanks for your reply back ...

I am going to go ahead and upgrade to Win XP ... so no problem here ...

AND THANKS for a GREAT Program.

G!:)

[dubious buccaneer]

I was wondering - why does FAVC not support .mkv (and maybe also .ogm) files as input? I don't know about the internals but if AVISynth wrapping is used, can't this be done?

[Mr_Odwin]

There isn't much of a reason other than I've read that using Directshowsource() can be a little flaky sometimes.
I'll add mp4/mkv/ogm support (probably) in the next release. I'll have a closer look at how mediainfo handles these formats and proceed from there. Perhaps variable frame rates may prove problematic.
As an interim solution I'd hope (not tried it) that FAVC would process these files quite happily if the file extension was changed to wmv.

[~bT~]

Hi Mr_Odwin!

Will there be any future releases which will support CCE?

Cheers!

[Mr_Odwin]

To be honest, I doubt it. I don't have CCE, and I have no plans to purchase it.

[~bT~]

To be honest, I doubt it. I don't have CCE, and I have no plans to purchase it.
OK, no probs. BTW, can we just replace the old HC with new? Also MuxMan?

[Mr_Odwin]

That should work fine. As long as you rename HC to what the files are called now (so you'll be calling them 0.20 instead of 0.21)

[linx05]

In future versions, will you give us the option to use the programs we already have on our computer? HC encoder and ImgBurn are two of them.

[Mr_Odwin]

So that there aren't duplicate programs on your system, I assume?
I'll add it to my to-do list.

[~bT~]

In future versions, will you give us the option to use the programs we already have on our computer? HC encoder and ImgBurn are two of them.

I'd rather have it the way it is. Like Mr_Odwin said, I would need to rename HC. In DVD-RB it uses a diff name altogether.

[techreactor]

Never looked at this thread, its an interesting tool and was doing this manually all these days for creating miniDVD's. I have some Q's though:

- Does it support only VCD resolution (352x240/288) since I did not see an option to support SVCD resolutions (480x480/576). VCD are MPEG1 only.


:thanks:

[Mr_Odwin]

It only supports resolutions that are in the dvd spec, so that excludes 480x480/576. Muxman is used for authoring and it just doesn't allow it. 352x288 is VCD resolution but the dvd spec allows for this to be MPEG2 rather than just MPEG1.
More often than not I use Half-D1 (352x480/576) which is also MPEG2 and is a good compromise between speed and quality.

okay thanks, but I have 1 more Q, if I select User defined resize under advanced scripting, what input does it take, is it avisynth resizers ??? and will this circumvent the "Video resolution" choosen under encoder options.

[Mr_Odwin]

The advanced scripting tab is all about you adding to the avisynth script. User defined resize means that no resizing takes place unless you input it. So, yes, it circumvents the "Video resolution" chosen under encoder options and you need to use Avisynth resizers.
But ... Muxman will still throw an error if you try and use a non-dvd type resolution.
:)

[Mr_Odwin]

I've released a new version (v0.94) and the updates are given in the first post of this thread.

[ricardo.santos]

FAVC UPDATE? lets check it out!

Thanks for the update,waiting for the menus to be enabled, when its updated it will to me the best avi to dvd freeware tool outhere.

[techreactor]

Thanks for the update but I also noticed that you cannot decrease the Bitrates below 4k and CQ value cannot be entered in decimals.

All this is required if you create a miniDVD unless you are dynamically adjusting the BR/Quants to meet the custom size values.

If not, is it possible to include these.

Also found that the following code in favcfps.avsi
Function FAVCFPS(clip clip, int num, int den) {
Try {
ConvertFPS(clip,num,den)
}
Catch(Err_Msg) {
ConverttoYUY2() - REMOVED
ConvertFPS(clip,num,den)
ConverttoYV12() - REMOVED
}
return(Last)
}

was giving error in avisynth (invalid arguments to ConverttoYUY2())

I changed the script to remove the convertto***() and added it in the title0.avs (before and after calling favcfps) to make it work.

[Mr_Odwin]

Good spot. Best to change the text in FAVCFPS.avsi to read:


Function FAVCFPS(clip clip, int num, int den) {
Try {
ConvertFPS(clip,num,den)
}
Catch(Err_Msg) {
clip = ConvertToYUY2(clip)
clip = ConvertFPS(clip,num,den)
ConvertToYV12(clip)
}
return(Last)
}




To hit minidvd size I would use the custom size feature. The average bitrate is adjusted for this, while the maximum bitrate can be higher.
I just arbitrarily chose the 4000 for the maximum bitrate as there's not really a reason to go much lower if the average bitrate is adjustable via custom sizing. However, if you want it then I can implement it.

[~bT~]

Thanx for the new version!

PS: This is minor request but can you pls add version numbers for future releases to the zip file?

Also, would it be possible to have another tab to view the script being created before sending it off to the encoder or just save the .avs for viewing in MPC or AVSp?

Cheers!

[rack04]

I get the following error when using the latest FAVC with HC and QuEnc. FWIW, I'm using AviSynth 2.5.6, build: Oct 28, 2005 [18:44:09]

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a199/rack04/untitled-6.jpg

The error wouldn't occur with Avisynth 2.5.7, but it is the same bug mentioned by techreactor above.
In the FAVC folder go into the Avisynth plugins folder and replace the text in FAVCFPS.avsi with what is in my post above.

bEnGaLi tHuG, your file renaming request is simple enough, but your second request is more tricky as the scripts are generated after the analysis step. We can do what you'vfe asked for, but it'll probably not be quickly forthcoming (added to my to-do list).

[techreactor]

Also, would it be possible to have another tab to view the script being created before sending it off to the encoder or just save the .avs for viewing in MPC or AVSp?

@BT, its already present, if you select the option to "Keep" temp files, goto your temp folder, open up the working folder, under it you will find a file named "title0.avs".

Open this avs file in MPC and you have your view.

[dubious buccaneer]

There isn't much of a reason other than I've read that using Directshowsource() can be a little flaky sometimes.
I'll add mp4/mkv/ogm support (probably) in the next release.
That's good... although, what I would also like to see, when mp4/mkv/ogm 's are supported, is their use also as the subtitle source, instead of me having to demux the subs first.

Oh, and another feature request: A rudimentary auto-generated menu for DVDs generated from several video files.

[~bT~]

Yes, but that's only after it starts encoding rite?

[techreactor]

Yes, but that's only after it starts encoding rite?

If you choose to keep the temp file, you can stop the encoding, preview the script and then start the title.bat file (in temp folder) again, to start the encode.

[~bT~]

If you choose to keep the temp file, you can stop the encoding, preview the script and then start the title.bat file (in temp folder) again, to start the encode.

that can be a temp fix for now then. cheers!

[rack04]

I just ran a long conversion only to have the dvd authoring fail. Can someone please explain how to run the dvd authoring using batchmux? I still have the working folder from the encode.

[Mr_Odwin]

Go into the working folder and open the title.bat file in a text editor (eg. notepad) and then delete everything except the batchmux command. Save the file and then double click on it.
If it fails again, please let me have all the gory details.

I did as you suggested but I'm still have some issues. When I re-ran the modified title.bat the output iso was 0 kb and I get the following error when trying to "build" and iso using ImgBurn.

Hi rack04!

It seems your 17th encode created some heavy troubles to MuxMan. Buffer underflows may be originated by different causes, but usually they occur when using assets with timings or other parameters out of DVD specs.

May I ask which encoder did you adopt ?

Are you available to perform some simple testing to isolate the problem ? I want to see if a new BatchMux.ini - I will prepare it from the one you have posted - without the 17th segment is properly authored...

Cheers,
SD

By the way,
WOW - 24 segments... You are near to the record...
:)

OK. Please try with this BatchMux.ini file (it should produce a working DVD without the 17th segment...)
