After being asked by many where to get the latest installer, I have uploaded the last installer version by bbwoof to the sourceforge site.

This will only be here till I (or trahald) can get a compiled version of the lastest alpha made

Hi Trahald,
only to tell:
The Kaspersky AV (newest build) calls the 0.9.15er EXE as infected.
After the installation he stays quiet. Also no problem with the 0.9.16l.
Maybe you can tell the Kaspersky-Crew about this.

Thanx

Support for CCE 2.70.02.00 would be nice, I receive a message which reads this version is not yet supported. Ecl support not available. Running on WinXPSP2 machine. :thanks:

Trahald

4th October 2005, 13:53

@sunbeam
hmm.. ok

@HKT3020_1
actually it is supported by batchccews . you have to use the direct cce mode in setup options dialog. eclcce.exe does not support 2.70.02.00 so we have to bypass eclcce.exe and set the direct path to cctspt.exe in your 2.70 install directory. just set the path and check the box and your all set.

Any help would be appreciated...

Oh and by the way, I tried what you mentioned Trahald as it was also mentioned in one of the DVD backup guides on D9 website.

Trahald

you have to run an installer version (one of the 0916x versions on sourceforge is the full install) first.. then unzip the latest version on top of it . then you have to go into the settings and set the path to your cce executable and check the box with it. once you do that and hit ok out of the settings dialog it will write the remaining registry settings. you shouldnt get any (X) errors after that.. if so.. take a screen shot of your settings and a screen shot and the front page showing the errors again. thanks

the next install i'll set empty settings for those settings.. the installer that is available (i think its version 0916j or so.. but its clearly marked on sourceforge as a full install) is really 0915's installer so doesnt have the new stuff but running the program afterwards and using setup will fill in the difference.

Has BatchCCEWS a file length limit ? If I open a 20GB file (DV), in the FileInfo I have always a ten minutes length, and the Type is Predefined. Missing something ?
Thanks

D3s7

29th October 2005, 01:59

can you open the file in mediaplayer or MPC and it reports the correct length?

It's very possible it's having a codec issue

bb1000

29th October 2005, 16:26

can you open the file in mediaplayer or MPC and it reports the correct length?
It's very possible it's having a codec issue

The avi is a stream (type 1) from a Canopus ADVC110. GSpot says it is an OpenDML AVI, (Codec: none) and proposes the qdv.dll decoder. BatchCCEWS reads the file perfectly.
Then I trim the advertising etc. with VirtualDub 1.6.11 (Direct stream) and the new file is a Multipart OpenDML AVI. GSpot codecs are DVSD: qdv.dll and Pinnacle and MainConcept.
MediaPlayer reads correctly the file, but BatchCCEWS reads only the frames in the first part of the Multipart.
The DVSD codec in the register (HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\vidc.dvsd) is MainConcept.
Can I control the output of VirtualDub (or I have to use another sw) ?

D3s7

29th October 2005, 16:45

what I would do is stream it with avisynth.

Sounds to me batchccews is having an issue reading that codec

bb1000

1st November 2005, 20:38

what I would do is stream it with avisynth.
How can I stream it ? If I load an avisynth script in VirtualDub containing the line
AVISource("D:\video.avi")
and save the stream (Direct stream), the output file jumps from 30 to 150GB!

Trahald

2nd November 2005, 20:12

just load that .avs file directly into batchccews.

bb1000

2nd November 2005, 21:37

2 Trahald and D3s7: many thanks.
The avisynth script works very well.
The "Canopus DV File Converter" converts the avi in an usable AVI2 (MS or Canopus Codec), but is slow, and the file loads slowly into batchccews.
The MediaInfo project (in sourceforge) reads correctly the length of a multipart avi .

well.. i'll look into it (at some point).. my tiny hd doesnt leave me room for test files tho ;)

Hi Trahald,
could it be that auto determine bias setting dont work anymore with the .m version and CCE-SP 2.70.02.1 on W2K?
Same with quality settings. In my case only 10,20,30 etc works but not 8,16 etc.
The black text in the dark blue area on the left and in the middle is hard for me to read.
The former design was more clear n simple, but maybe this opinion is only oldfashioned.
Thanks Trahald that you develope this nice tool and change things. :) :) :)
Greetings
sunbeam

Trahald

13th November 2005, 03:40

i'll look into that.. also.. can you post a screen shot and highlight the dark spots ?

sunbeam

13th November 2005, 10:32

Here is a screenshot.
The redmarked areas are quit dark to read/view, but maybe others dont think so.

Trahald

13th November 2005, 17:47

well.. actually i do see them just fine, however... i'll add a menu option to disable the background gradient.

the auto bias setting is fixed.. (it was based on the spin control(UP/DOWN) not the value you see in the text box.) since i removed the spin control i adjusted it to read the value in the text box.

im not sure what you mean quality setting not working? if you want values in between 10 20 etc(ie not available in the dropdown) you just type them in.. explain further please

sunbeam

13th November 2005, 23:41

Are the quality settings for eg. 8 or 16 working if I type them in the proper field?
When I look in the dropdown menu after them the value of 8 becomes 80 and so on.
Thanx

Trahald

14th November 2005, 14:54

the way dropdowns work is if you click the arrow and you type a number it will give you the closest match (ie 80 for 8) just dont click the drop down arrow.. when you enter 8 it will stick... i will try to add more popular values to the drop down menu so it can be used..

Trahald

15th November 2005, 02:15

ok.. check out 0916n fixes auto bias and adds the gui tweaks i mentioned.

sunbeam

15th November 2005, 20:32

Everything is running fine. :) :) :)
The words on the left side of the proggy are very true:

Hi,

I am using the 0.9.1.6m. When I load the CCE settings file created by the Scenaid 1.7.0.7 into BacthCCEWS 0.9.1.6m (see the CCEData file contents below) the chapter points for VTS 1 are not shown in the GUI but they are there in the registry. So now when I make any changes like change the Roboshot mathod to CCEFront, I loose all the chapter points since in the GUI there are no chapter points. All other VTS chapter points are working fine.

its the length of that line.. it cant handle it.. try an older version and see if it takes it (the same line parser is used so should also fail but i want to be sure its not something i did). i should be able to make it take longer lines.

Trahald

21st December 2005, 19:27

ok.. fixed.. changed the read buffer size to about quadruple. (it was only an issue when the registry was being read)
i'll have a version available later today

Soemthing strange happend with BatchCCEws 0.9.1.6n:

It write: "Quality=25" and "Bias=30" everytime in the *.ecl everytime.
If you try to use other values, like 16/10 for example, 25/30 is used in the *.ecl.

Someone else noticed that ?

Trahald

29th December 2005, 21:25

i'll have a look over the weekend.. which template are you using?

seewen

2nd January 2006, 01:42

I'm using the "Multipass VBR (CCE)" template.

But the same happend with "CBR (CCE)" template (for "Quantizer Characteristics" value. which is always "25").

And I'm using CCE SP 2.70.02.04 (but it's the same with 2.70.02.00).
-----------

It seems that the problem comes from:
"q_char_f=27" is the the (new) way to write "Quantizer=27" in the *.ecl.
And BatchCCEws is using "quality_prec=27" instead of "q_char_f=27".

And "vbr_bias=13" is the (new) way to write the Bias indication in the *.ecl.
And BatchCCEws is using.... nothing... You can change the bias as much as you want, the *.ecl produced is always the same.

Happy new year !!

Trahald

2nd January 2006, 04:16

ok... fixed... i set q_char_f= for use when version is 2.70.00.00 and higher .. otherwise quality_prec=

will be in version 0916nc

Hi Trahald,

is it possible to have an option, when BatchCCEWS is finished with all the jobs, to shut down the pc?

Trahald

4th January 2006, 20:19

sounds easy enough.. sure...

Trahald

8th January 2006, 16:03

Ok.. i added the code. its a pain to test cause i didnt really want to shut down ;) but it seems to work. should work for all windows versions.. i used _FORCE so you when you check your pc it wont be sitting at a 'close xx program, END NOW' prompt. but that also means that if you have a word document open it will be forced closed w/out saving. i assume all apps with shutdown use force since most people using such apps arent typing a term paper while encoding.

FreaQ

8th January 2006, 16:15

Great Trahald.
I would test it, if you want.

wmansir

9th January 2006, 03:15

I tried using ProCoder, but EclPro only gave a "cannot open file" message when it launched. I couldn't find out exactly what file it was looking for though, but I assume it is the .ecl file. I tried this with the segmented encoding for non-cce checked and then unchecked.

Also I had a lot of problem with the jobs list, resetting the state of jobs, or the control buttons just not working.

Eventually I got it to work with CCE though.

Trahald

9th January 2006, 15:14

hmm.. which version of batchcce?

i just did a run with procoder and it worked ok... im using an old eclpro.. i'll upgrade and see if thats the difference (assuming you are using the newest)

can you describe exactly whats happening with the controls? i tinkered with them fast and they worked ok.. what version of windows are you using?

thanks wmansir

wmansir

9th January 2006, 17:54

I'm using nd, which I think is the latest.

Using XP SP2, EclPro .42 (which is a version behind latest), DIF4u 1.4.0 and the latest Scenaid.

For the controls I just recall them being non reponsive at a couple of points. I was stoping and starting and reseting quite a bit. I'm going to be redoing the job (this time by VOBid) so I'll play around with it a bit more and write down any specific if I encounter any errors.

wmansir

10th January 2006, 03:03

I went ahead and tried using EclPro manually using the BatchCCEWS generated .ecl files. I ran into a problem with ProCoder not liking filenames with two . in them. Made a post about it in the Eclpro dev thread here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=765324#post765324).

Does BatchCCEWS use a work around for this?

Trahald

10th January 2006, 06:11

yeah.. i did some testing and figured out the period thing too. some file names may have many more than 2 periods. i used version .21 of ecl pro before as my test version and i would have to imagine that something different was there during that version because i used procoder a few times in testing and for a project or 2 with batchccews and it worked fine. today i upgraded to eclpro .42 (or whatever the new version is) and then got the problems you experienced

i made a workaround (kinda hacky.. just subs the .'s for j's and puts them back again during join (even w/segment off the join just renames the single file).. will be fine for big3 projects since j's arent used. just testing now... will have a version out maybe tonite (this morning)

Trahald

10th January 2006, 06:35

ok.. 0916ne is up... works here, segmented or without.

wmansir

10th January 2006, 19:46

Ok, just finishing up my first tests with Eclpro. The good news is the process worked, but there are a couple of issues.

First I did a non-segmented encode and it appeared to work fine except ProCoder is doing CQ (constant quality) one pass encoding, instead of 2 pass VBR. Other than that non-segmented encoding appeared to work fine as far as renaming, pulldown, etc.

This may be because BatchCCEWS is outputing an .ecl format for a different version of CCE than EclPro is expecting. There was a similiar problem with NuMenu, I think zeul changed his .ecl output format to CCE 2.5 to fix it.

When I did segmented encoding I had the same problem, but I also noticed the encoding window in Procoder the encoder was expecting to encode the entire job. In other words the progress meter and time remaining were long enough for the entire job even though it was only encoding a shorter subset of the job. This appears to be purely cosmetic as it doesn't have an effect on the output.

The causes is likely due to the .ecl "frame_last=" and/or "encode_last=" being set to the full job length, instead of just the segment length. Oddly, when I loaded the ecl manually and check the source in ProCoder it had the correct length for the segment, but ProCoder must go by what it reads in the ecl/pcp file in other areas.

Also, in all my playing around with the job control buttons I haven't encountered anything unexpected at all.

Trahald

10th January 2006, 22:23

ok.. i'll have it output a 2.5 ecl.. (just will take a if method == PROCODER { cceversion = "2.5.0.0" } at the beginning of ecl creation)

i'll have that comming up later tonight

also from my earlier tests the first last hasnt had an issue either... (again other than cosmetic)

wmansir

14th January 2006, 19:35

ProCoder is functioning perfectly. I did segmented encoding and the only issue was that the segment encodes were not deleted after merging and pulldown.

m0ebius

15th January 2006, 15:54

Has BatchCCEWS a file length limit ? If I open a 20GB file (DV), in the FileInfo I have always a ten minutes length, and the Type is Predefined. Missing something ?
Thanks

I confirm the problem. It seems big files (>4Gb) are always reported with a maximum of 14340 frames (9min35sec)

I let always the program creates the .ecl, edit and import them manualy in CCE

m0e

Trahald

15th January 2006, 19:35

yeah... i forgot that was on my todo list... hmmm.. i'll rip something and make a uncompressed avi out of it. i'll work on that today

Trahald

16th January 2006, 05:20

ok.. its fixed.. the vfw function currently used 'should' return the right framecount but doesnt on large sources [AVIFileInfo()].. so instead i now use the streaminfo function [AVIStreamInfo()] which seems to report the correct amount of frames for the video stream. from what i was able to find, streaminfo is probably how most apps get length info since it surpases the old limitations. i still use avifileinfo since it reports the avi type ( 'avisynth' or 'avi regular' etc )..

i was going to see about having the segments delete when they are no longer needed (what wmansir just mentioned) before i release this version.

Does anyone else have problems with the 2:3 pulldown in the newer versions of BatchCCEWS giving jerky playback. I know there was a bug fixed in 0.9.1.6l but for me it seems it was introduced. I am currently using 0.9.1.6n f and keep a copy of the 0.9.1.6k exe in the same directory just for doing the 2:3 pulldown.

Trahald

22nd January 2006, 23:01

im gonna put up 0.9.1.6 beta 1 up later tonight. the pulldown is the same.. but the version info will indicate beta 1 (under special build) to make it easier to tell apart.

if you can duplicate the issue with beta1 version on dvdrw. and then cut out a small segment (maybe 5 mbs) from the resulting dvdrw, and provide it to me, i'll see what may be causing it. dvds ive been making have been fine with the new 'fixed' pulldown on my second machine that had issues.
