Cool, at least you're both getting the same errors and at least I know what's causing them.

By the way all that Debugging text is not needed, only the first few lines after ************** Exception Text **************.

In the quant box of the old avi.NET what number format was displayed inside, would it be 2.5 or 2,5?

Yes thanks, I know about these, the problem is the "." and the "," between different countries, bloody thing always gets me... :o

[ricardo.santos]

in version 2.2.2.0 i get 2,5 when i open avi.net

Thanks, I've just changed my system to Sweden and can now mimic the problem, I can sort it now.

2.2.1.0 = 2,5
2.4.9.9 beta 1,beta 2 = 2,5
2.4.9.9 beta 4 =1,0

If you really do not need that much of Debugging text, I will shorten it next time, I thought maybe some of the files associated with .net framework might not be quite right, therefore I attached a full version.

[The Scientist]

Right I'm getting somewhere now.....

I also found another problem, DivX quant pass on non-english system..... XviD was unaffected but DivX would not except the 2,5, 3,5, 4,5 e.t.c and treat it as 2, 3, 4 e.t.c so all previous versions on non english systems would have been incorrect.

I should change my locale and test more often :D

[The Scientist]

Beta 5 is up.

If you've used an earlier beta then you need to remove a key from the REG before using: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CloneAD\avi.NET

[jeffy]

Removed the key, grabbed the beta 5 version, again even deleted the folder, and installing over to C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP.

Good news, started immediately without an error. Encoded without an error as DivX (Xvid selected, but I know the codecs are disabled for now). So great, to me it seems you have found a working solution! :thanks:

[The Scientist]

how do you know it encoded as DivX?

[jeffy]

how do you know it encoded as DivX?

Play it in Media Player Classic, right click for Properties/Details or in VirtualDubMod, fourCC DX50 :sly:

[ricardo.santos]

working fine here encoded a small clip using xvid no problem status bar stats appeared correctly.

had a instalation error but i think it was due to be running the instalation file from the zip file, after extracting the msi it didnt produce any error

[ricardo.santos]

Play it in Media Player Classic, right click for Properties/Details or in VirtualDubMod, fourCC DX50 :sly:

i think the fourcc is changed by avi.net for compatability reasons, i encoded using xvid and the fourcc is divx50

[jeffy]

i think the fourcc is changed by avi.net for compatability reasons, i encoded using xvid and the fourcc is divx50

Maybe you are right, GSpot tells Xvid0047 whereas older Avi.net with Divx doesn't. :o. I didn't consider FourCC code changing...

[The Scientist]

Play it in Media Player Classic, right click for Properties/Details or in VirtualDubMod, fourCC DX50 :sly:
It's an XVID, believe me.

Use the latest GSpot beta , it will say DX50 and XviD 1.1.2.

[jeffy]

It's an XVID, believe me.

Use the latest GSpot, it will say DX50 and XviD 1.1.2.
Excuse me, :stupid: where does it say Xvid 1.1.2? (My GSpot is 2.60 RC01). Thanks for clarifying. Anyway I tried to change the codec for DivX in beta 5 and it did encoded with the same FourCC but different data, so maybe you enabled the codecs while I thought they were still disabled... Thanks for being clear!

[The Scientist]

Screenshot of GSpot 2.60 RC1 (top right corner). File encoded with avi.NET (XviD) codec used. See the "XviD 1.1.2 Final".

For me, it was pleasure, as it will hopefully help "the so-far silent" users of avi.net. My Xvid was over-installed with the latest AutoGK so it says

[The Scientist]

That pic is not from an avi made with avi.NET..... avi.NET will say DX50 in first column, no matter what version of XviD you use, it the muxing program from DivX Networks that does this.

As for XviD, avi.NET will only work correctly with XviD v1.1.2 not other versions, this is important......

As I said :stupid: ,
I forgot when trying the theory Xvid/Divx I did used Nick's FourCC changer and made it XVID. I'm sorry, it was really created with avi.net! Mine is 1.2-127 (Dec 8, 2006)

[The Scientist]

Well it had me a bit worried as NVOP should be on, BVOP shoul d be on, and PB should be on....... Next time you do a test see what it says in GSpot, if it's different to what I've just mentioned then avi.NET is not working with that codec.....

No need to thank, it us that should thank you for taking time to develop avi.net.:)

[JDK187]

Thanks CloneAd You Rock! that fixed that problem.

I'd like to be able to convert the audio to mp3 at least down to 96kps if possible.

What i'd really like to see is an option to base my encodes on a particular template. for example, majority of my encodes come from my HDD JVC Everio that i send to family overseas so i always use the same settings for each. The index.net is a life saver.. if i could somehow save my index.net list and open that list within avi.net and run a template on it... It would be awesome.

One other question, would encodes be any faster if there was an option to downmix audio within the avs script (NicAC3Source..,2) for instance?

BETA 6 is now up.

[ricardo.santos]

working fine here. (target size,subs,resolution.audio)

[The Scientist]

Now that's what I like to hear... :D

[weaver4]

I would like to see the av.Options parameters saved across restarts. I get tired of filling out the same info every time.

[The Scientist]

I would like to see the av.Options parameters saved across restarts. I get tired of filling out the same info every time.What options in particular?

The problem is, it's hard to save these options, as the video and audio are very dependent and what you have just loaded in.....

Let me know some examples and I'l incorporate them, I only have 1 day left, gotta release this version before Monday as I'm back at University Monday, bloody forensics, I don't get a minute.

[weaver4]

These are the four I would like to see.

> Single Pass Quant CheckBox
> Quantizer Value
> Force Video Bitrate CheckBox
> Force Video Bitrate Value

Thanks,
Great Program!

Good luck & thanks for beta 6. It doesn't show any errors except the troubles with codec like you said, which are size erroneous on MY part, not yours.

I'll look into it.
The Quantizer value should already be saved across sessions/loads.

[The Scientist]

Good luck & thanks for beta 6. It doesn't show any errors except the troubles with codec like you said, which are size erroneous on MY part, not yours.Yes that's why it has to be v1.1.2.

I set a standalone profile in the XviD codec, amoungst other options, to allow maximum standalone compatibility. The problem is, over the past few versions of XviD the developers, and I don't know why, keep changing the name of the profile, completely breaking its automatic use. When they decide on a name that stays, version changing will be fine.

[The Scientist]

Real version (v2.5.0.0) of avi.NET is now released (first post).

If anything needs adding or fixing I'll have to do it when I get a free day.

:thanks:

[weaver4]

Thanks, great program.

Good luck in the University!!

Will pgc.net work with arccos movies?

[jgawera]

AFAIK pgc.NET does not work with any protected DVDs, you need to use something like AnyDVD to rip them first.

I've recently noticed that using avi.NET 2.2.2.0 my encoded files are coming out about half the size they were supposed to be. If I selected 700MB, the files were coming out about 350MB, anyone else have this problem.

I've just installed avi.net2.5 from this thread (not on the clonead site yet) I've also installed the latest XviD codec so maybe that'll sort things out.

Edit:
Seems to have worked fine. now, got a file of the correct size.

Now that I've found this active forum, I'd like to post a few suggestions that I'd like other clonead software usesers to comment on.

Add batch facility to rip.net to both rip multiple pgcs from one disc, and rip from multiple discs (eg if you've got 4 dvds on your hard drive, you could rip main move from each in one operation)

Add facility for index.NET to index subtitles

Add an option to not show the preview video, I often set encodes going via remote desktop, and it doesn't cope well with trying to play video.


love avi.NET

[Nrmf]

Thank You

This Is The Best

[The Scientist]

Will pgc.net work with arccos movies?No, not directly.

AFAIK pgc.NET does not work with any protected DVDs, you need to use something like AnyDVD to rip them first.This is not correct. pgc.NET does work with the majority of protected DVDs, it just can not handle the newer stuff like ArCCoS e.t.c, because of this is may be better to think of pgc.NET as a ripping utility rather than a ripping program in its own right.

Seems to have worked fine. now, got a file of the correct size.Yes, it must be the v1.1.2 XviD codec.

Add batch facility to rip.net to both rip multiple pgcs from one disc, and rip from multiple discsProblem is, it would not rip multiple PGCs in one go, it would have to run through the whole title each time to get the selected PGC so it wouldn't save any time though it would save the 'hassle' of selecting each individual chain. I can see how this could be handy for episodic dvds. I'll look into it next time I have a spare day.

Add facility for index.NET to index subtitlesYes, last version did have this ability but had to update index.NET because of the new avi.NET and I ran out of time to change the subtitle stuff. I will add it back in hopefully in the next release.

Add an option to not show the preview video, I often set encodes going via remote desktop, and it doesn't cope well with trying to play video.I'll look into this, I know what you mean about remote-desktop and video, not good.

Ah, good to know, I've just always had AnyDVD running so never realised it did this.

Excellent, that'll save me a lot of time for episode disks. Also for when I have a number of movie disks copied to my HDD I could select main movie in each of them, then kick off ripping and do something else while it rips them all.


Yes, last version did have this ability but had to update index.NET because of the new avi.NET and I ran out of time to change the subtitle stuff. I will add it back in hopefully in the next release.

Nice, I must have missed the version that had that in, or just missed the option :) Now that I think about it, it would be super cool if pgc.net and index.net somehow combined so that whatever pgcs I ripped, were also indexed (and subs indexed) so that they are ready for use by avi.net. So for ripping a 6 episode disk, I just select the six likely pgcs, hit go, and when I come back, I can just load them into avi.net, choose my options, and kick off the encode.


I'll look into this, I know what you mean about remote-desktop and video, not good.


Thanks so much.

Hi all forumers

Has anyone tried the HQ encode in AVINET and what does this mode brings to the software ?

Thanks

[SonofPhatty2x4]

is anyone having an issue where you are unable to select decomb deinterlancing filter check box because it is greyed out?

I don't seem to be able to select that option no matter what.

[The Scientist]

is anyone having an issue where you are unable to select decomb deinterlancing filter check box because it is greyed out?

I don't seem to be able to select that option no matter what.Are you asking because you noticed it greyed out or you felt you needed to use it because of combing in the preview and it was unavailable?

It is greyed out when an NTSC 29.970 dvd has been IVTC'd to FILM 23.976. I don't have any NTSC dvds but am not aware of any that would need de-interlacing after the IVTC, which is why it is greyed out.

Hi all forumers

Has anyone tried the HQ encode in AVINET and what does this mode brings to the software ?

ThanksThe settings used will produce a theorietically 'better' quality output but let's not get into the 'better' debate. I can't remember the exact differences without looking at the code but DivX, in HQ mode, will use its 'HIGHER QUALITY' mode rather than the default 'BALANCED'. I can't really see any difference but it's what some people asked for. With XviD, difference bvop ratio's are used, a higher 'VHQ' and a custom matrix and a few other things I can't remember at the moment.

Both HQ codec settings will produce slower encodes.

[Jacquers]

Hi,

Thanx for all the hard work on the new version.

Just some small things that I miss from older versions (v2.2)

- A minimize button
- A Pause button
- v2.2 showed a more info about the chosen encoding settings when starting the encode.

Other than that it's working very nicely, Thanx!

Other than that it's working very nicely, Thanx!It does have a pause & minimise (instructions on web page/site). If you right-click the preview window during preview or right-click the output window during encode, you will see options to allow minimise e.t.c.

What 'more info' were you refering to?

[Jacquers]

Ah, I should have read the manual! Yes, I see the pause and minimize options now. A bit too well hidden for most people maybe?

I discovered something intersting: Load a file and wait for it to start playing. Then pause it. Select some option like De-Interlace - playback starts again to show the changes, but then the pause ability is disabled.

The more info: v2.2 used to display all the options you selected for the encode (resolution, aspect ration, filesize, quantizer, audio type, filters to use) when it starts the encode.

[weaver4]

The more info: v2.2 used to display all the options you selected for the encode (resolution, aspect ration, filesize, quantizer, audio type, filters to use) when it starts the encode.

I also notices that that old version was more verbose. I think I liked it being more verbose.
