is anyone have problem with XviD0047? to work on my kiss I had to edit to XviD0046...

[god2003]

Sharktooth You mean integrate m4t into meGui or meGui into m4t?

M4T is not meant as a encoder tool.

If you mean integrate m4t into megui, i don't think is necessary, just remember the user don't use PB no >2 consecutive bframes, no GMC, no QPEL and interleaving in 1 or max 3.

[Adub]

I don't know, it could be really handy to integrate m4t into megui. It would add to megui's "one tool for everything" approach. Plus with the new linux version, it should work nicely with your linux MeGUI port, Sharktooth.

[Sharktooth]

god2003, MeGUI has a nice modular interface and it already comes with several tools. The idea is to integrate a MPEG4 stream modifier... :)

[god2003]

sharktooth If you think is worth, no problem, that's the great thing with Open Source.

[Sharktooth]

ill talk to moitah too. however this is not going to be anytime soon since new features will be post "1.0".

god2003, I am having some Vista issues, first one is that no matter what i do, admin privileges new settings file, I cannot get the integrate option to keep. Second issue, is there any way you can prevent vista from virtualizing the ini file?

Don't write it to a protected folder and it doesn't get virtualized. You can install mpeg4toolkit to an unprotected folder (like your documents) as a workaround, but I don't like doing that.

[drob]

Yap same here, what determines the need to virtualize folders? As far as I found, a manifest file with the right code line prevents this.

[god2003]

Drob You cannot avoid the virtualization. the manifest applies to the app not the folder where it is. Virtualization is a system function...

but ..

Mpeg4 Toolkit 1.0.0.1 released.

Fixed. Cannot get the “Integrate with windows” option to keep.

Changed the configuration from .ini. In MONO (Linux & others) MONO saves the config virtualizing (saved in a file) the registry.

Seems that i forgot to link the event that enable/disable the function when changed the components to port to Linux. Now should work.

[drob]

god2003 integration now works fine, thanks for that!
Could you add the options to only integrate for avi files, not folders? Also could you allow for the processed files to be created in a selected folder, without a "processing" folder?

As for virtualizing, as far as I understand it, a manifest with the correct line, would tell vista the application is compatible with vista, and thus it won't be virtualized.
Lastly, can you allow for the window to be sized smaller?

[god2003]

drob 1st if you don't wan't to use the folders integration don't use it. But if you mean not to integrate to avoid the extra item in the context menu, well i think i can separate in two integrate items files, and folders.

2nd the Processed folder. I can study it to see if is posible, but if i add that, i will add only as optional.

3rd about virtualizing there are two necessary steps to avoid that:

first execute as admin (or use a manifest to force it) and
second:

Change the security settings on the application's folder. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Log on as a user who has administrative credentials, and then use Windows Explorer to open the application's folder.
2. Right-click the application's folder, and then click Properties.
3. On the Security tab, click Edit.

User Account Control permission If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click Continue.
4. Under Group or user names, click your user account.
5. Under Permissions for Users, click Allow for the following permissions:
• Modify
• Read & Execute
• List Folder Contents
• Read
• Write
6. Click OK.

if you don't have write security permisions for the folder, even if you execute as admin windows will virtualize.

4th Yes i can allow a smaller size of course, i will add the code to the next release.

[drob]

Yes god2003, what I meant was separate the file and folder integration, so I won't have that extra option in folders. Thanks for the info on virtualization that would come on handy, sorry for all the extra coding I asked for lol

This is bit off topic but is the reason some apps gets virtualized and the majority don't is with security permissions created via their install programs?

[god2003]

yes, the setup program must create the app folder with the proper rights. If not, then Windows will virtualize.
But of course you must execute setup programs as admin in order to set the needed permisions to the program.

[drob]

god2003, can you also add or bring back the browse/open button?

[drob]

god2003 any chance for those updates i asked for?

[god2003]

I just upgraded to Visual C# 2008 express (i was waiting for the spanish version).

Some changes are made (contextual menu) but i want to introduce a method to configure the frames for inrleaving correction. So, i don't know how many time (i hope i few days).

[drob]

Thank you, i was hopping you haven't abandoned this great utility.

[god2003]

Mpeg4Toolkit 1.0.0.2 Merge Released.

Added an option to configure the contextual menu (folders and M.F.E.). Now you can activate the configuration needed for you.

Added an option to configure the number of maximum interleaved frames, before fixing them (it is not recomended to set this at more than three).

Added. Now if you activate the “Alternative destination” (fixed path or not) you can choose to avoid the program from creating the “Processed” folder.

Fixed. Now M.F.E. remebers the last configuration used.

Added. If no file is selected in M.F.E. to rename (or whatever), all the files will be autoselected (the preview will work as always).

[drob]

Works great! thanks for implementing all those requested features.

[god2003]

Mpeg4Toolkit 1.0.0.3 Merge Released.

Fixed: An error in VirtualDubMod when trying to fix the interleave, when the names of the files includes accented characters or non English characters.
Now M4T writes the Script in ANSI mode (Seems like VirtualDubMod does not read correctly in UNICODE or UTF-8 mode).

Fixed: In some special configurations the interleaving frames detection routine was not functioning correctly.

Fixed: In MFE if you where editing the filenames in Subtitle mode, now the application will reflect the changes correctly. However the subtitles files will be rearranged again. It is recomended to edit first the video names and then order properly the subtitles files (moving along the list if you must via Drag & Drop), and then Sinchronize the file names.

In MFE now if the files are renamed outside MFE (or added) MFE will update the file list (in normal and subtitle mode). This is only valid for the folder opened currenly in MFE.

[drob]

Works great, tested on several files with interleave, thanks god2003!

[radeonorama]

Hello, have used your tool for a good while now and the only feature i would really love is for it to Auto Close once the "Add/Remove packed bitstream to a directory..." Processing completes.

Is that something you could possibly add into a release at all?

I would be ultimately grateful!

Thanks,

[god2003]

Mpeg4Toolkit 1.0.0.4 Merge Released.

Fixed: An error in VirtualDubMod when trying to fix the interleave, when the names of the files includes accented characters or non English characters, seems like VDubMod still have problems. Now M4T renames the file before sending to VDubMod and then gives back the original name.

Fixed: Changed the “Check for updates automatically” option to the configuration panel, in the “general” section, and updated the conexion data.

radeonorama: that option can be done, i think. I'll look into it for the next release.

[radeonorama]

OOO Thankyou! I cant wait! Cheers

[radeonorama]

Is there any way i can pass files to the m4t.exe to unpack them. Very much like how the right click method works but in a way that i can write a script to pass the files instead?

I basically have a process i have to go through before my video files work with my Kiss streamer and i would like to automate it with with a script.

Thanks

Mpeg4Toolkit 1.0.0.5 Merge Released.

Added option Autoclose after processing the videos from context menu (by default deactivated).

i am sorry if the webpage is not working well. The Sourceforge guys are migrating to a new datacenter in chicago, but downloads are working well.

god2003 could you ass support for the updated build of VirtualDub, instead of the outdated mod version. there is now an AC3 plugin for VirtualDub so muxing is possible.
