Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2 is out...

[Kurtnoise]

Here is Yamb 2.1.0.0 beta 2 (http://yamb.unite-video.com/)...The old one is still there (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/Yamb/).

Just a side note, the only recommended sites to download this preview are : doom9.org, yamb.unite-video.com or my personnal website kurtnoise.free.fr. Don't trust the others...especially with spywares/adwares,etc which can be added.

For those who don't know what Yamb is : this is mainly a GUI for MP4Box but with a lot of features :
This GUI is able to mux a lot of Audio (aac, mp4, mp3, vorbis...) & Video Files (3gp, mp4, mpeg, vob, ogg, avi...) with subtitles and chapters support.
able to Split/Join mp4/mov/3gp files.
able to extract some tracks from AVI files or raw/mp4/3gp streams, subtitles and chapters.
Have some infos about your files.
able to tag mp4/3gp files.
Full Unicode support.

If you are already a Yamb user, bear in mind that 2.0 has been completely rewritten to be more user-friendly. So, I hope you would like it... :)


Some extra comments for MP4/3GPP Files Creation :
When you drop your files, some streams can be directly unchecked. (AC3/DTS audio streams from VOB/MPEG/AVI or x264vfw streams from AVI). It's not a bug but Yamb's behaviour to avoid mux problems : MP4Box doesn't support these kind of streams.
For VFR Creation :
MP4/MOV/3GPP as input files aren't allowed. Anyway there is a warning for that.
you have to specify manually the Frame-Rate for each streams via Properties because MP4Box will use a value of 25.000 fps otherwise.

By default, Yamb shows only File & Description Columns for the Input List. You can of course add/remove what you want here (File, Index, Description, Name, Language, FrameRate) via a right-click on the header List. Some note about "Index" : in this are stored tracks IDs for MP4/MOV/3GPP, Index for VobSub files and video/audio type for AVI/MPEG/VOB files...All this is needed for MP4Box.


Extra comments for Yamb Settings :
"Enable OnFinish Event" option : when running process is complete and you click on Finish Button, you will have a message which gives you the possibility to quit application (yes) or to return on the main page (no).
For the moment, "help" button links to the website. Sorry for people who have a poor internet connection are for whose who prefer to work offline. In the future, this help will link with a .chm file.



If you have found a bug, please follow these rules for bugreports :
Provide the Yamb and MP4Box version or the date of compilation (same things for tagger tools).
Try to describe as clear as possible issues or troubles : needed to reproduce bugs on my side.
:logfile: (formely named Yamb.log).

Bugreports or anything else can be reported by mail : kurtnoise at free dot fr or directly in this thread.


There will be probably some questions or comments. I'll add them here later but now I let you to find extra goodies by yourself. Enjoy !!!

Bugs Hunting is officially open...:D

WOW! this really rocks! :)
the things i tried seemed to work fine.

i noticed the following:
you seem to allow to set the brandname only on video streams. this is problematic as with audio-only mp4 files the user cant set a brand and with mp4 files with more than one video stream he could set more than one.
if possible it might be better to allow setting the brand on the first stream to be added no matter what type it is?

also it might be good to give the user the option to set a brand called something like "MPEG-4 compatible", meaning letting mp4box set the right brand it wants to use (also pointing out that using an own brand is not really mpeg-4 compatible)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Truly awesome work mate... will report back soon :)

[emmel]

Thanks.

Just did some tests with .264, .aac, and .idx, and everything worked really fine as expected.

Nice work.

[anonymez]

marvellous work, as always :)

[guada2]

Finally, as promised.

:thanks: :thanks:

Bye;)

a yes...I didn't think about that. I'll change this.

I don't get your point...What do you mean by "MPEG-4 compatible" ? Something like mp42/mp41 ?

Hi Kurt,

When attempting to "Add" 1No elementary (MPEG-4 Part2) .CMP stream, a whole load of other streams appeared: -

A similar thing happens when adding elementary (MPEG-1) .M1V and elementary (MPEG-2) .M2V streams...

[Kurtnoise]

Seems like MediaInfo bug...I'm working on it.

[Kurtnoise]

Fixed. Same link as above.

Thank you.

[JoeBG]

Great job :)

[SeeMoreDigital]

Fixed. Same link as above.Thanks... That nailed it :)

When importing/adding streams, would it be possible to configure YAMB to display more detailed information about the individual streams from both MediaInfo and MP4Box?

Something like this perhaps: -

Excellent job Kurtnoise13! :D

[ChaosKing]

I have found a cosmetic Bug.
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/8260/yambfontct3.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
I don´t have the Font, that you used in Yamb 2.0 ;)

[SeeMoreDigital]

I forgot to mention...

I'm not sure what you mean by the therm "Edition"... Do you mean "Editing"?

http://img487.imageshack.us/img487/8597/editionhh4.png


Cheers

[Sirber]

@SeeMoreDigital

It's "Editing". "Edition" is bad translation from french, "Édition".

[lolent]

this new version of YAMB looks awesome :eek:
thanks Kurtnoise13 for your work ;)

[Kurtnoise]

Well, give me a good reason to include this (i.e try to convince me) because this is not the main purpose of this GUI...

@ChaosKing : ok...I'll change the font.

[Mtz]

I made a test file MP4 ASP file with subtitles. The subtitles are not working in standalone player. Will be possible this?

enjoy,
Mtz

[Kurtnoise]

Does it work with previous releases ?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Well, give me a good reason to include this (i.e try to convince me) because this is not the main purpose of this GUI...Okay...

Obviously not every scrap of information generated by either MediaInfo or MP4Box is necessary, however I do feel stuff like FPS speed and Pixel Aspect Ratio is very useful information to have confirmed.... just in-case you need/decide to alter them :)

[bond]

I don't get your point...What do you mean by "MPEG-4 compatible" ? Something like mp42/mp41 ?i mean, the default brand set should be named "MPEG-4 compatible" and if thats chosen internally no brand would be set in the commandline, so mp4box uses the correct brand itself

[Kurtnoise]

Obviously not every scrap of information generated by either MediaInfo or MP4Box is necessary, however I do feel stuff like FPS speed and Pixel Aspect Ratio is very useful information to have confirmed.... just in-case you need/decide to alter them :)
Problem is : those infos are missing or can't be access for some input files due to the lack of support from MediaInfo in the current version. Maybe in the future. (So, I'm not convinced..;))

btw, honestly I prefer to finish Video Preview instead of waste my time with this for the moment...

And agreed the Video Preview would be really cool :)

One more thing, does the "File Extraction" option allow for "Drag-and-Drop"... If so, it does not seem to be working.


Cheers mate

[Kurtnoise]

can't MP4Box provide the same information?
Not for Raw Streams (cmp, m4v...)

One more thing, does the "File Extraction" option allow for "Drag-and-Drop"... If so, it does not seem to be working.
Nope...D&D is enabled only for MP4/3GPP File Creation and Concatenation.

[SeeMoreDigital]

Not for Raw Streams (cmp, m4v...)I'll make a feature request to ask if this could be included... along with other bits and pieces

Nope...D&D is enabled only for MP4/3GPP File Creation and Concatenation.Okay... what confused me was, if you do attempt to drag-and-drop you see this (instead of nothing): -

Ehrr... i have some visualization problems:

Im using a custom visual style and it seems it doesnt like the new yamb at all... it works with every other software i have though.

[Kostarum Rex Persia]

Yamb 2.0 looks much better then previous version. But, I still wait for Star Trek skins. :(

Can anybody do it, because Kurtnoise13 already said he don't like Star Trek? Please.:thanks: :thanks:

See what Microsoft did to you?

Hi Kurtnoise,

Extracting VOBsubs subtitle streams to a single MP4 file works okay but sadly extracting VOBsubs subtitle streams to IDX/SUB streams does not work: -

[Kurtnoise]

No. :(
In this case, I can't help you...

Ehrr... i have some visualization problems:
Too bad for you...:-/ I'll change that. But you can access to the different sections or not ?

:readrule: 3/ is missing....


btw, Sorry to say that but I will not at home during this week and the next one. So, I can't access to my compiler to fix that. Just wait & see. :thanks:

[SeeMoreDigital]

Sorry.... Must have missed that meeting - Doh!


Cheers

[Sharktooth]

Too bad for you...:-/ I'll change that. But you can access to the different sections or not ?
Yes, it's only a visualization problem. Probably the background color.

[Kurtnoise]

ok...:)

Cheers

[Kurtnoise]

Upgrade your MP4Box build...

[Kurtnoise]

Nope... Just tried it.. the same.
maybe some other links?
Does it (http://www.free-codecs.com/Yamb_download.htm) work for you ?

[SeeMoreDigital]

Thanks mate...

Extraction works perfectly now with MP4Box-0.4.3_20060828

My apologies, it did not occur to me to look for an updated build of MP4Box :(

EDIT... Your new link works for me ;)


Cheers

[SpAwN_gUy]

Does it (http://www.free-codecs.com/Yamb_download.htm) work for you ?
Yes, thank you. I guess it is something wrong with Server, trying to show me the Site in Russian...

[chipzoller]

I think I have a bit of a problem with this release.
When muxing basic audio and video streams I need to set the audio delay to a negative value. When I view 'Properties' for the audio stream I'm not able to set a negative value, only positive. Am I missing something obvious here?

[Kurtnoise]

Right...I forgot to enable the "-" character. I'll fix that asap.

btw, you can set the delay during audio encoding.

[chipzoller]

btw, you can set the delay during audio encoding.

True, but I always leave delay to the authoring to stay consistent.

Can you repost when you've enabled the "-" character and have the build up?

thanks for your great work. It looks wonderful.

[Kurtnoise]

Can you repost when you've enabled the "-" character and have the build up?
Yes...as soon as I'm back home.


I've a question for you guys : does anyone have already tested this preview on Vista ? If yes with or without success ? Let me know. Thanks...

[Sharktooth]

I just got both x86 and x86-64 versions of Vista RC1. Gimme some time to install it and i will start testing.

[SeeMoreDigital]

If you are intending to install Vista and XP on a separate partitions/HDD's... be careful.

I managed to loose the ability to boot to XP (from the boot menu) at start-up :scared:
