avi.NET v3.1.0.0 (27th February 2010)

[The Scientist]

avi.NET v3.1.0.0

WEBSITE HERE (http://www.clonead.co.uk)

System Requirements:


A 32 bit (x86) version of Microsoft Windows XP SP2+, Windows Vista, or Windows 7.
Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0+ to be installed on your PC (windows update).

CHANGE LOG: (latest version) - v3.1.0.0

Although I never keep track of every change/fix/update when I should, these are some of the ones I have noted:


Added direct '*.TS" support as an input file (kind of experimental).
Added closed caption support (will read in closed caption files created by index.NET).
Added some further options via right-click on preview namely: 'Force 4:3 input to 16:9','Force 16:9 input to 4:3', and three audio volume options (setting remembered between loads): MAX, LOW, MUTE.
Updated 'index.NET' which like before it with avi.NET, it has been completely re-written.
In doing the above, new code in index.NET has given rise to new code in avi.NET.
Altered feedback information and text of display window and tooltips to a more understandable and neater format.
Tweaked the subtitle and audio routines.
Fixed a couple of spelling mistakes.
Altered various 'check' and 'feedback' dialog routines.
Changed over to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 RC.
Various other little code clean-ups and changes.

Dear Sir,

first things first: I would like to thank you for your work on this project.

Trying your new beta on Windows XP Professional SP2 I certainly like it much better than the previous versions.

I am sorry if I missed them somewhere in your new beta but where are the boxes for time input and play/pause button? I don't see them anywhere in the 2.5 beta 1 version.

What I also miss is some indication how much do you crop the original, would you please consider adding some information into maybe second text line under the source video?


Suggestions:

- the option for keeping the original mpa audio, not only AC3.
- maybe the option to view AviSynth script (where the crop information is also shown, thus saving the second text line suggested above)

Thank you for your time.

[The Scientist]

Program updated. See first post.

[JDK187]

I've been using Avi.Net since its debut so first off, thank-you for this awesome software and keep up the great work!

I've done a few encodes with this beta and so far they've all turned out beautiful. The skin is still a minor problem for me (labels/text boxes) bunched up.

A few requests if possible for future releases...

1 - ability to choose avisynth resize (lanczos/bilinear)
2 - option to set bitrate for mp3.
3 - ability to override script with avisynth's Trim for test
encodes.

Thanks again CloneAD!

Are "The Scientist" and "Info DVD" the same person?

I did a couple of movies with the new release and have a few comments.

1) I generally do my decodes the same way every time. Xvid, Single Pass constant quality, quantizer of 3. I wish that avi.net would remember my settings across restarts. Or once I have it setup let me save the defaults.

2) I have a movie that the audio is out of sync. I looked at the name of the ac3 filename and the delay is 2318ms. You are using DivxMux which has a maximum delay of 1000ms so I am not surprised. The audio is in sync with AutoGK, AutoMKV and Dr Divx.

[weaver4]

One more thing I should mention. I encoded a movie using XviD CQ 3.0 and the file size was 821Meg, when I did the same movie in AutoMKV it was 689Meg, with StaxRip it was 675 Meg. All audio was 128kbs CBR. Seems a little strange that the file would be that much bigger.

[The Scientist]

The skin is still a minor problem for me (labels/text boxes) bunched up.The reason for this is because you have changed your DPI setting to 120. If you want larger fonts in windows then select larger fonts but leave the DPI settings at the default 96DPI.

In the next release I'll have Bilinear for downscale, Lanczos for upscale. What MP3 bitrate do you usually like to use?

[The Scientist]

Are "The Scientist" and "Info DVD" the same person?Yes, 'CloneAD', 'iNFO-DVD', 'The Scientist' = same person. I couldn't remember my password or email I used for the log-in details so had to make a new one, I think the email I used for the original no longer exists.

Seems a little strange that the file would be that much bigger.I'm obviously using different settings, was that with the default or did you enable 'Advanced Encode [CQM]'? I'll re-check settings anyway.

I did not have Advance Encode selected.

[The Scientist]

OK I altered some codec settings, if there's any significant differences now all I can think of is it's down to the fact I'm using a standalone player profile, not sure.

Deleting the TEMP folder and the value used for QUANT are now stored between sessions. Each time you run the program it will use the values of the above last used.

This also includes the Screen Width resolution, if you switch to 720 for example from the default 640, each subsequent load will also use 720. Whatever screen size you use becomes the new default, even between program shutdown/start.

Beta 3 released in first post.

[jeffy]

Thank you for the added features in beta2! Unfortunately in my environment, the last version, beta 3, crashes without even showing its window.

Excerpt:
EventType : clr20r3 P1 : avi.net.exe P2 : 2.4.9.9 P3 : 45b6fd2f
P4 : microsoft.visualbasic P5 : 8.0.0.0 P6 : 4333d6d8 P7 : 354
P8 : 7b P9 : system.invalidcastexception

Has anyone experienced the same behavior?

[The Scientist]

OK, thanks for letting me know, difference with beta 3 is it was compiled in Vista where the other beta's were XP. I'll re-compile under XP and re-uploaded file shortly.

>> File has now been re-uploaded.

Thank you for the re-compile, unfortunately it's still bad here:

EventType : clr20r3 P1 : avi.net.exe P2 : 2.4.9.9 P3 : 45b747dc
P4 : microsoft.visualbasic P5 : 8.0.0.0 P6 : 4333d6d8 P7 : 354
P8 : 7b P9 : system.invalidcastexception

For confirmation, can someone please verify the MD5 sums of the beta3 ZIP files and main executables:
for XP: 2752A3262AE7711EC6794DA7689D62C4
former on Vista: 6EB274A177A628F1C26E98D70941B1D7

Vista avi.net.exe 94A9ACC2C81BB07D6D2EFCB9146D572F
XP avi.net.exe 65A8ADC673B42CE6F7C285F9F3B9852F


Thanks for helping out.

[The Scientist]

Did beta 2 definately start OK?

[jeffy]

Did beta 2 definately start OK?
Yes, for sure.
MD5 executable (beta2):
3CC4467D529FA3B22AB69F4D7D43DD99
ZIP 0FFD6471434C81E9688EDD62688CEBCA

Beta2 starts immediately.

[jeffy]

The Scientist, can you please check the MD5 checksums of the beta2 and beta3 versions with yours? Are mine ok? Thank you.
(Sorry for a double post.)

[The Scientist]

Can you install beta 3 then extract this file over the older 'exe' file in the avi.NET folder, cheers.

b3 UPDATE 'exe' (http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/__files/avi.NET-EXE.zip)

Let us know.....

I click Continue, it starts, upon loading MPEG file throws another window:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

When I click OK, it does nothing. Thank you again for your help.

[weaver4]

Mine starts fine, and I am using 2.5 as a quantizer value. I am assuming that is where the 2.5 value comes from that it can not convert to an integer.

[The Scientist]

Hooray, at least it gets a proper error now, will look into it.

[The Scientist]

OK, try This One (http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/__files/avi.NET.update.zip)

[weaver4]

Could you take a second and explain the "Advanced Encode [Custom CQM] checkbox

Thanks,

[The Scientist]

Similar to the 'Advanced Analysis' in the normal avi.NET, different codec settings and matrices are used. This mode will take longer to encode.

I click Continue, it starts, upon loading MPEG file throws another window:

But there is a difference: it starts indexing the file and the abovementioned error (Parse Audio) is thrown as next.

Thank you for another update!

EDIT:
But there is a difference: it starts indexing the file and the abovementioned error (Parse Audio) is thrown as next.
Overlooked, the indexing started last time as well, so the error is thrown at the same time.

[The Scientist]

So the first error: "System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format." occurs when the program is loading up, when it's ran, before loading any movie in e.t.c?

The next error, what are you loading in? Can you supply a 10 second sample or something? and/or some of the files in the .TEMP that has been made - the AVS file, if exists, and the D2V file, and a directory listing of the contents of that folder (dir *.* >list.txt).

Thanks for this if you can, would really help.

Thinking about the output of the beta version 3 with no .avs, I feeded the same sample file into the version beta 2, which loads without any error and creates the .avs file.

Zipped output:
http://www.mytempdir.com/1186918

Might be helpful? ;)

[The Scientist]

Thanks for them, going to take a look at them now.

Can I just ask.....

1. Is the filename "sample" the same name of the original file that gave you a problem?

2. Does this sample you sent give you the main error (not the first error).

3. What is drive "L"?

Cheers.

[The Scientist]

That sample works fine from this end.

The only difference between beta 2 and beta 3 is a couple of routines that access the registry.... What type of account are you logged in as? admin? user? What windows you running?

Two files are in zip, avi.NET1 and avi.NET2, can you put these in the avi.NET folder and try each one and let me know what error comes up with each one, thanks.

These files probably wont work properly, they're just to test the error.

No errors either of them.
Wait! Now even C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP\avi.NET.exe
the latest beta doesn't throw any error! Except when I select Xvid, it encodes DivX.

[The Scientist]

OK, just making sure it was the registry access part that was giving problems.

Yes the codec stuff wont work, I disabled them.

Two more file HERE (http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/__files/test34.zip) :)

One more thing: What country you from?, well your PC..... Do you use "," as a decimal seperator? like 2,5?

[weaver4]

Hmmm, that's a pain I know, maybe I should look back at VDM....

If you want to stay with DivxMux you might want to look at a program called DelayCut that comes with DGIndex. This will correct the length of the audio before you encode it. It is a gui but it also works from the command line.

[ricardo.santos]

i have some free time i could help testing aswell, but im seeing so many downloads, can you upload the latesta beta or point me in the right direction?

[The Scientist]

a program called DelayCut that comes with DGIndexI don't see it in the DGIndex download......

I don't know why, I clicked C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP\avi.NET4.exe or C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP\avi.NET3.exe, it gave me some sort of error, but I didn't take a note, clicked Continue and I closed it. Clicked 4 and 3 again and none give any errors. Examining continues on my part.


Decimal separator is a comma "," on this version, yes. Didn't make any trouble with former avi.net versions.

[weaver4]

I don't see it in the DGIndex download......

I thought it came with that package because another tool that I use had it in the DGIndex directory.

But you can get it here.

....Both weaver4 and ricardo.santos in the thread, wow, deja vu, takes me back.... :)

[ricardo.santos]

on a sidenote since youre rewriting avi.net have you thought about making it multilingual, release the lang file or similar for the community to translate?

[weaver4]

Both weaver4 and ricardo.santos in the thread, wow, deja vu, takes me back.... :)

I have always liked your program over other programs for a couple of reasons, so I was really glad you started working on it again.

1) I like the fact I can use the real quantizer value for single pass encodes. AutoGK won't let me do that.

2) Also when I do two pass I like to use 1000kbs for 640x288 and 1300kbs for 640x352. In AutoGK I am forced to calculate the file size. I even made a bitrate calculator to do to this: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=109307

3) I have never made a XviD movie with avi.net and it not play on either of my SAPs

4) Quality of video is as good as AutoGK.

yes, 1 and 2 no errors because they contain no reg stuff on startup.

BETA 4 released.

The Scientist: Can I offer a suggestion. One of these days, probably soon, you will be tempted to add X264 to your avi.net.

I would like to suggest that you not do it. Many of the programs that try to do to much...do too much. You probably would want to have different containers for X264 like MKV and MP4, then you will need different muxes, you will need different audio coders like ogg and such and then pretty soon you will end up with something rather....ugly.

I would recommend that when you get this bug you make a whole new executable for it (X264.Net) and model the gui off of avi.net, keep it simple.

Just my thoughts.

[The Scientist]

I have always liked your program over other programs for a couple of reasons, so I was really glad you started working on it again.

1) I like the fact I can use the real quantizer value for single pass encodes. AutoGK won't let me do that.

2) Also when I do two pass I like to use 1000kbs for 640x288 and 1300kbs for 640x352. In AutoGK I am forced to calculate the file size. I even made a bitrate calculator to do to this: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=109307

3) I have never made a XviD movie with avi.net and it not play on either of my SAPs

4) Quality of video is as good as AutoGK.

Thanks :)

Huge :thanks:

Well, downloaded beta4. This time I let the installer remove the beta3 completely, manually deleted whatever was left in the folder C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP and installed it in the same but empty folder.

Beta2 & Beta1 in different folders still work. Beta3 completely removed.

Beta4:

No good news, error below, after I click "Continue", again "Parse Audio" error and again no AVI file is being created (.TEMP folder again only .d2v & .mpa, no .avs):
