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.

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.

24th January 2007, 02:47

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

24th January 2007, 03:36

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

24th January 2007, 03:43

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.
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.Yes, it will do in next release.

I'll re-check settings anyway.

I did not have Advance Encode selected.

The Scientist

24th January 2007, 07:48

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.

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

Has anyone experienced the same behavior?

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

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

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.

When I click avi.net.exe, I'll get this:
http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/9977/errorpx3.th.jpg (http://img142.imageshack.us/my.php?image=errorpx3.jpg)

I select "Continue", click "In", after indexing throws "Parse Audio" error.

I have chosen a 3 second sample, hopefully enough.

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.

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"?

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.

TEST FILE (http://www.dvduk.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/__files/test.zip)

Full paths:
C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP\avi.NET2.exe
C:\Program Files\avi.NET BETA3XP\avi.NET1.exe

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.

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.

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?

Well, I would like to know what's going on :confused:
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.

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.

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.

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):

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

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.

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?

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

26th January 2007, 20:13

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

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

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

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:

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!

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)

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?

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.

Will pgc.net work with arccos movies?

jgawera

29th January 2007, 13:08

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.

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.

I can see how this could be handy for episodic dvds. I'll look into it next time I have a spare day.

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.

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.

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!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

3rd February 2007, 14:24

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.

When h.264 HW support comes, do you think you will make a GUI that will cater for that conversion?

If you read this (http://forums.divx.com/forum/viewTopic.php?id=2760)post you'll see that you already have most of the requirements in avi.NET to make such a GUI. Just send the avs script to x264.exe instead of avs2avi and use a different muxer...

I did several movies with XviD single pass quantizer of 3.0. When I put the latest version of DRFAnalyzer on it shows that DRF of 3 for 50.9% and DRF of 4 for 49.1% of the frames. I encoded several movies the same way with the same results.

When I encode the movie in DivX, Quantizer of 4 the DRF is 4 for all the frames.

Is this what I should be expected?It's probably not ideal to compare one at a certain quant and then another at a different quant.

I just did a little clip with both codecs at Q4.0 and got:

DIVX
Frame Type Statistics :
I Frames: 2.05%
P Frames: 58.94%
B Frames: 39.01%
S Frames: 0.00%
N Frames: 0.00%
(More Advanced Codecs use B and S frames)
Frame Quality Statistics :

DRF=1&2: 0 0.0%
DRF=3: 0 0.0%
DRF=4: 1408 60.0%
DRF=5: 0 0.0%
DRF=6: 933 39.8%
DRF=7: 0 0.0%
DRF=8: 2 0.1%
DRF=9: 2 0.1%
DRF>9: 0 0.0%

XVID
Frame Type Statistics :
I Frames: 1.50%
P Frames: 50.25%
B Frames: 48.25%
S Frames: 0.00%
N Frames: 0.00%
(More Advanced Codecs use B and S frames)
Frame Quality Statistics :

DRF=1&2: 0 0.0%
DRF=3: 0 0.0%
DRF=4: 1203 51.0%
DRF=5: 0 0.0%
DRF=6: 1155 49.0%
DRF=7: 0 0.0%
DRF=8: 0 0.0%
DRF=9: 0 0.0%
DRF>9: 0 0.0%

You're not going to get constant 4 because of b-frames and/or b-frame offset ratio's. Don't know why you got a constant quant with divx.... did you use avi.NET on both tests? use same settings e.t.c. for both. Both my above tests were in 'normal' mode, not HQ.

Just make a test on the " NEMO MOVIE " which causes the xvid and codecs to fail , showing some big artefacts and some image degradation even at High bitrates

Make the same test using X264 with HQ matrix slow, Lanczos and Bitrate 900 , it is quite astonishing
Neither artefacts nor image degradations

Avi.net is the best automated conversion tool-period...

But e.g. Divx has more unused potential...

Will there be ever a selectable balanced-better-extreme-insane... quality choice (supported by the codec)... From my point of view it would lift the quality of the conversion some more... (instead of going to unsupported X264 by SAP´s)

It seems to me that avi.net when using divx is stuck in BALANCED mode

Avi.net is the best automated conversion tool-period...

With all due respect to avi.net - what about AutoGK?

That's not said to denigrate avi.net at all, but I just think it's awfully previous to start claiming "best" - even if you ignore the forums rules on such things.

From where I'm sat, avi.net has always had a very firm focus on standalone compatibility - whereas AutoGK has seemingly focused on being automated and quality (given the run-time constraints).

It's only recently that avi.net has started doing things like compressibility tests, that AutoGK has always (?) done.

Both apps seem very good at what they do, but have differing rationales, so I think it's doing a disservice to the other apps that do such conversions, to simply arbitrarily declare one the "best".

It seems to me that avi.net when using divx is stuck in BALANCED modeThere's isn't actually many options that can be changed in DIVX, that being said, avi.NET only uses BALANCED mode in the 'normal' DIVX encode, click the "HQ" option and it will encode using the DIVX High Quality mode.

When selection the DIVX-codec I can alter it´s settings and quality modes. I did not know that HQ-mode in avi.net did the same thing... Which codec settings are used in HQ-mode (comparable to better mode, extreme, insane ???)

Stop the presses... I found it using the search function... it is higher quality... Will try it out...

Hey Scientist, really great work! I love this tool.
I found that avi.net delivered slightly sharper pictures than autogk for my test movie in less time :)
(same codec, same audio, same file size)

I think that there is a bug with the output filename:
When I edit the output filename in the corresponding textbox, and then press ADD, that custom output file name is discarded, and the input file name is used (with .avi extension). When I use the dialog box (OUT button) to enter a new output file name, everything works fine.

felixk

14th April 2007, 13:41

By the way, the version I used is 2.5.1.0

I have a few small suggestions, just for the case your TODO list runs empty ;)
Don't delete the .TEMP folder, if the same movie is encoded multiple times with different settings. (results in error.)
On right click on an item in the job list, select that item, as in the windows explorer (as right clicking on an item and chosing Delete can delete other items in the list).
Allow to add jobs while encoder is running.
On STOP!, keep the list of unfinished jobs.
Allow to edit jobs which are in the job list. (for example, right click on an item in the job list, select edit, and all checkboxes and fields are set according to the job settings. Even shorter: double click on job).

The last two points are very useful, if you set up a list of jobs, and notice a mistake right after pressing START.

When are you going to make a H264.net? If you could make the H264 world as easy to use as you made the DivX/XviD world you will have many people worship you. ;) [Don't add H264 to avi.net; too many tools try to do too much and end up with something too complicated.]

Thanks for the new version.

Weaver4 i too am hoping for a h264.net altough i dont see aproblem in integrating a acheckbox for x264 in the GUI. only a checkbox doesnt affect the program that much.

weaver4

3rd September 2007, 18:55

I would guess that it would need a checkbox for x264, then it would need to select the container (mpv or mp4), then it would need a place to select a profile (for apple.tv, ps2, psp, xbox360 and such; due to convoluted h264). That might make the clean avi.net GUI a little awkward.

The thing that would concern me the most is that the interface to the H264 codec, the filters and such are all different. These changes to the code could effect the wonderful reliability of avi.net. Not to say anything bad about MeGui, but it seems that when they fix one thing they break another, same could be said of AutoMKV (but not to the same degree). I would say avi.net works great, don't touch it; start a second program....but then I am not the author.

started using your soft today, to shrink down these DVD folders on my HD. Due to fileloss prior to this (and restoring the files), all my ifos were messed up and neither autogk nor anything else could read the dvd structure. after running all folders through ifo edit, your prog could open them (the others still couldn't ^^). So, you're the winner.

Now id like to suggest some things.

- pgc.net should have a batch function. I'm right now switching from folder to folder by hand to convert the files. Doing the actions beforehand, choosing in- and out folders would help a lot. It would already be nicer, if it would just remember the last position for in and out. I'm selecting "in" chosing drive e>subfolder1>subfolder2>subfolder3 then i choose "out" switch from e: to x:>subfolder1>subfolder2. when it's done, i chose "in" again, and where do i start? on x: instead of e:. Quite annoying when converting 26 folders ^^

- same for avi.net. I know it batches, but setting the settings just beforehand for each file (if you know the settings you would like) and then hitting go! which would result in indexing and afterwards converting, would allow to switch of the monitor after hitting the start button

- index.net... whats it for? i insert a vob, hit start, the vob diappears and the prog says "completed". I wouldn't have noticed, but index.net is the only link that appears in the start menu after installing your suite under vista x86 ultimate

also combining all three (or two, without that index.net ^^) progs into one, would help in the workflow.

I *have* read the guide. I meant a *proper* minimize button, i.e. near the close (X) button.

I didn't suggest a particular deinterlacer, I merely listed one as an example. As you have an HQ option for the encoder, perhaps you can also add an HQ option for deinterlacing.

I quite like the app - it's certainly the most stable and reliable (for me) of the one-click encoders I've tried. Whereas its simplicity is its strength, I'd like a few more options...

Quite annoying when converting 26 folders ^^I'll look into this.

index.net... whats it for?Well, when you load a file into avi.NET it 'indexes' it, if you have more than one it may be easier to index them all first (using index.NET) so avi.NET doesn't have to.

I *have* read the guide. I meant a *proper* minimize button, i.e. near the close (X) button.Oh I see, no, haven't got one of them. I don't like the standard toolbar that gets displayed so have a different one which unfortunately doesn't have a minimise button in the traditional location.

14th September 2007, 09:08

Excellent, can't wait for the batch processing. I've been waiting for this before I attempt to encode my TV episode DVDs

I'd also like to remind you of a couple of ideas I had which would speed up the process for people that are encoding a lot. My ideas basically don't require the user to keep coming back to the PC after each stage.

pgc.net should allow a batch facility to rip multiple pgcs from multiple DVDs (or DVD folders on the hard drive). For example, I copy all 6 DVDs of the Sopranos series 1 to my hard drive, I then want to add all 13 episodes to the pgc.net list and hit go. Leave it for a while and let it do it's thing.

Index.net should have the option to also index subtitles. That way I can add all 13 episodes of sopranos to index.net, leave it to do it's thing and then the process of adding to avi.net is much quicker. I don't have to wait 13x3 mins for each episode to index the subs.

And then the obvious next step to these is to combine pgc.net and index.net so that I select the 13 pgcs from the 6 dvds on my hard drive. For each pgc, it rips, indexes, and indexes subs. So now I create my list, hit go, and when I come back, everything is ready for a quick avi.net session and then hit go again.

Thanks for the great app, keep it up.

Hello!

First of all, thank you for the great program and support.

I installed the latest version (15th september) and avi.net keeps crashing. It happens after indexing, just when the message "Loading Movie" appears. The program is then closed without any notice.

I then downloaded your support pack and installed everything. Same error. Tried with another DVD and nothing, both from the direct source and the pgc.net file.

The older version worked just fine.

These are my specs:

Windows Vista 32bits Ultimate
Xvid 1.1.3
Vobsub 2.2.3
Avisyth 2.5.7
avi.net 2.5.6.0 (15th september)

Pentium IV 3.0
1024 RAM

I had it working fine with version 2.5.1.0

Hope you can help me figuring this one out.

Hi Scientist! I just started to use your great program for my DivX encodes and had a couple questions:

1) Which quantization matrix is used for DivX? I rather like the H263 Optimized matrix but I'm not sure which one the program uses

2) Can I manually edit the AVS file before the encode? I'm converting a tv show (Dexter S1) and avi.net (as does DGIndex) detects the material as 29.9fps interlaced. However a simple telecide/decimate will produce 23.976fps progressive frames. With avi.net my only choices are to leave the material interlaced or deinterlace and encode as 29.9fps progressive

3) Is it possible to select a "no resize" option? I encode my dvds at 720x480 with 16:9 NTSC pixal aspect ratio, which is the highest resolution that my standalone player will accept. It recognizes the PAR flag and plays the files at the correct aspect ratio. Which brings me to my next question

4) Can I select the PAR that the program uses to encode? Currently it uses 1:1 square PAR, and I can modify the output with MPEG4 Modifier after the fact. But it would be nice if I could select this option through the program outright.

5) Just wondering how avi.NET is handling the 2nd pass of DivX encodes. When I do my encodes manually with VirtualDub, the 1st pass (fast mode) takes 15 min and the 2nd pass usually 30 mins. However with avi.NET both passes are done in 15 mins! I'm impressed and just curious as to what's going on in the background.

6) I would like an option for the preview window to not autoplay after loading the source file. I'm constantly right clicking and hitting pause immediately because I don't want to be spoiled by episodes I'm encoding that I haven't seen yet! :)

Thanks again for a great program, and I hope I'm not asking too many questions on my first post in this thread. :)

They all show weird coloured contours.

Is there an option I have to (un)check to make the encoded AVI compatible with standalone players ?

2) Also, how come converted movies show bigger black borders on TV than original ?

3) GSpot shows a min quantizer of "1" for every encoding, is it possible to change this into "2" which would allow much better overall quality per compression ?

Thanks a lot in advance !

Thanks the scientist,

I pretty much gave up on Auto Gording Knot, since whatever Xvid codec was installed, it keeps on spewing out completely undersized encodings and it aint even able to remember default advanced settings I always choose. On the other hand, your tool really looks promising, is there any option to encode the audio in 112kb/s instead of 128kb/s ? I didn't find it in the current version.

Just to add, I'm currently in an episode of filling my free days encoding DVD's using multiple tools (AGK, AutoMKV, FairUse Wizard 2 & Avi.net) and whatever options I choose, or even out of the box encoding, I can only conclude something that sounds impossible, but it seems even true : avi.NET not only is the fastest of them all, it also produces the best results. That can only be done by a truly great author who actually KNOWS what he is doing.

Once again, thanks a lot !

avdw

4th November 2007, 17:34

Sorry, can I just ask a few more questions ?
Your answers can make a lot clear and hopefully get more people to use this tool since, however you do it, it's great !

Q1) Is there any option to encode the audio in 112kb/s instead of 128kb/s ? I didn't find it in the current version.

Q2) I have a DVD movie which starts with some text displayed on a black background, I guess this is the reason why avi.NET thinks the upper&lower black borders are bigger than they actually are.
When converting to Xvid (700MB) with a chosen with of 480, it resized to 480 x 208, correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the height of 208 is too low, hence the poor quality of the encoded AVI.
So, Is there any change to make avi.NET guess by looking for borders not from the start of the movie, but say for a certain frame-range ?

Thanks in advance for this nice tool !

BUG (or missing ability)

...Decomb/Deinterlacing isn't properly converting 29.97 hybrid interlaced/progressive video to 23.976.

REQUEST 1:

...a Play button (which toggles) to stop/start the video clip playing.

REQUEST 2:

...ability to manually enter crop values in increments of 2 from each side, and top/bottom and right/left aren't "locked" together in a single "horizontal" or "vertical" set each. (DVDs usually have top and bottom black-bar padding of differing heights, and left sides that are scummy while right edge is flush.)

REQUEST 3:

...ability to manually enter output file height/width in increments of 2. (Right now width is constrained to increments of 80, meaning that popular values such as 704, 624, 576 and 512 aren't supported) ...if the user enters values which will result in source-DAR not equaling output-DAR after cropping is accounted for, a pop-up warns them of that (but permits them to continue...and produce anamorphic output whose DAR they will later correct with MPEG4Modifier).

Example of all of this put together: NTSC DVD 29.97fps "partly film" hybrid video cartoon episode of which I wish to capture at near its original resolution. Crop values are 8 left, 6 right, 1 bottom (rounded to 2). Desired output width/height is 704x480 (adjusted to 704x528 in MPEG4modifier for vertical anamorphic stretching just as would occur if the DVD itself were being played) -- this reduces encoder resizing to the bare minimum. Progressive frames are removed, and light decimation occurs if de-progression alone does not yield 23.976fps.

My brother had this problem when I installed avi.NET on his 32-bit Vista Basic notebook. I believe the file is used to store statistics for the first pass in Xvid, but he was trying to do DivX. The problem was file permissions ( I don't know why they didn't get set properly, even after multiple re-installs). I granted Everyone full control on the file, although you may not have to be that extreme. That appeared to resolve the issue.

22nd February 2008, 08:11

First off, let me say "thank you so much!" for all of your hard work on avi.NET and pgc.NET .. I use them so much that I have shortcuts to them on my quick launch menu.

My only thoughts:
1. A fair number of the DVDs I rip/encode end up having a serious audio sync issue (I think one movie was 2.5 seconds off). While it's certainly not something I'd stop using avi.NET over, it certainly makes things a pain (by pain I mean using yet another app to sync things up). Earlier in this thread, someone mentioned the root cause of this sync issue. Is there anything I can do on my end to help prevent this sync issue?

2. I'm running Vista 32-bit and while I don't remember the exact behavior (it's been a while), so I know I have to run avi.NET as the administator (Compatability Mode --> Run as Administrator) otherwise UAC screws things up a bit. This one I don't even really care about all that much (this is just one of many apps I have to grant admin permissions to).. but it is something I thought was worth mentioning (forgive me if it's already been mentioned in this thread).

weaver4

22nd February 2008, 15:13

Fraschetti: Many times Audio Sync problems are caused by the way the content is ripped. Can you give us some details on what tools you are using? If you are using pgc.Net you might want to try DVDFab Decrypter and see if that helps.

The Scientist

22nd February 2008, 16:39

Earlier in this thread, someone mentioned the root cause of this sync issue. Is there anything I can do on my end to help prevent this sync issue?Yes, 'weaver4' has a good suggestion. pgc.NET cannot really deal 'directly' with modern dvd's, always use DVDFab first to make sure everything is ripped correctly to the hard drive. You can always use pgc.NET to extract required PGC once DVDFab has done it's thing.

....otherwise UAC screws things up a bit.Didn't know about this, don't use UAC, it's the first thing I get rid of, I find it bizarre. I noticed in the new Visual Studio 2008 there are now some UAC options so hopefully a new build of avi.NET will help.

:helpful:
Hi. Even using DVDFab (which you should be) you will occasionally have ripped disks that still present audio sync problems when encoded. My limited understanding is that this is caused by errors in the MPEG stream, which MPEG format is able to compensate for, but AVI cannot. I generally encountered these particular types of problem disks from one notoriously paranoid big studio in particular, but occasionally from others. I think maybe they are introducing deliberate errors into the MPEG streams as part of some kind of content protection, and the errors remain after DVDFab rips the disk.

My solution (and it has worked very well) is to use the commercial VideoRedo application. It has a tool called QuickStream Fix, which corrects missing sync frames in the MPEG stream and outputs a file that will encode with audio in sync. If I have a problem disk or if I suspect it will give me problems, I extract all the program chains with pgc.NET and run them through this process to fix them, then encode the output mpg files. Haven't found anything I couldn't fix this way yet. I don't know if there is a similar tool available elsewhere or for free, but VideoRedo works like a champ and has other uses too.

I extract all the program chains with pgc.NETAbout a year ago I made a new pgc.NET where you are able to select multiple PGC's at a time and add them to a batch, like avi.NET, and even have the option to index the file after ripping....... I never finished it, you think it's worth me having another look at it and finishing it? or maybe release a beta or something?

Absolutely! :) I've wanted that for quite some time. I've even considered writing it myself just to have that feature, but I just don't have time right now. But with episodic discs it can take forever to extract everything because you have to attend the machine and wait for one program chain to finish so you can start the next.

weaver4

23rd February 2008, 15:03

Once you select the correct chain (Title) you now can use a MPlayer statement like this to Rip the chain to a *.vob or *.mpg file. This even works on "modern" dvds.

mplayer dvd://1 -dumpstream -dumpfile dvd.mpg

This is the command for Linux, not sure what it should use for dvd://1 in Windows but the "1" is for the Title.

This effectively plays the DVD to the hard drive, so if mplayer can play the movie it can be ripped.

This might help you with the next version of pgc.Net.

BTW: It must be MPlayer version MPlayer 2:1.0~rc1 or later.

Yay to batch processing.
And this reminds me of some batch suggestions I made some months back which i'll quote here just as a reminder ;)

Thanks for avi.NET it's brilliant.

As for audio sync issues. It doesn't happen to me very often, but when it does, I just use Media Player Classic to figure out the required delay, then virtualdubmod to fix it.

Also a vague bug report.
These are from memory, and next time they happen i'll try and record more details. First one is pgc.NET sometimes won't rip an entire pgc. As it is ripping I see the xxxxx of yyyyy bytes ripped progress meter. Sometimes it just stops and goes back to the stream selection window before reaching the end. If you're not watching, then you have no idea it didn't rip the entire thing until you've encoded your video (unless you try and play the vob). The only way i've found to fix this is to use nero recode to recode the dvd, then do the rip and that usually works. pgc.NET shoud be able to tell if it didn't reach the end for whatever reason and pop up a dialog warning the user.

Thanks again
J

Excellent, can't wait for the batch processing. I've been waiting for this before I attempt to encode my TV episode DVDs

I'd also like to remind you of a couple of ideas I had which would speed up the process for people that are encoding a lot. My ideas basically don't require the user to keep coming back to the PC after each stage.

pgc.net should allow a batch facility to rip multiple pgcs from multiple DVDs (or DVD folders on the hard drive). For example, I copy all 6 DVDs of the Sopranos series 1 to my hard drive, I then want to add all 13 episodes to the pgc.net list and hit go. Leave it for a while and let it do it's thing.

Index.net should have the option to also index subtitles. That way I can add all 13 episodes of sopranos to index.net, leave it to do it's thing and then the process of adding to avi.net is much quicker. I don't have to wait 13x3 mins for each episode to index the subs.

And then the obvious next step to these is to combine pgc.net and index.net so that I select the 13 pgcs from the 6 dvds on my hard drive. For each pgc, it rips, indexes, and indexes subs. So now I create my list, hit go, and when I come back, everything is ready for a quick avi.net session and then hit go again.

Thanks for the great app, keep it up.

i must be lucky, cant remember the last time i had problems with avi/index/pgc.net...for episodic dvds i use dvdfab decrypter to rip each episode to its own folder, even without using pgc.net never had any problems.

i have a request, since the hddvd-bluray "war is over" have you thought of upgrading avi.net to convert to bluray standalone players very much linke divx standalone players now?

And one more thing about batch processing as it seems I wasn't clear enough :):

1. I also second to Bradskey idea of having an option in pgc.NET for batch processing with the indexing option at the end of ripping

2. The second thing I'd love to see in avi.NET is option to retain video processing settings on av.OPTIONS tab, especially those concerning forcing video bitrate or quality as well as subtitle processing settings. It make sense with episodic DVD's.

Ps. And could you add option to disable video clip playing at all?

1. Any chance we could get a progress bar for the initial indexing of the video?

2. If I specify a bit rate (Force Video Bitrate), changing between screen sizes overwrites my manual entry.

2.5.8.0 is the first version that Process Explorer lists as a 64-bit executable when it runs, which is all good and fine except it can't find AviSynth anymore, which I'm assuming is a 32-bit-only program.

I am not really sure where to put this and apologize if this is not the place. After doing numerous successful conversions with avi.net (great program by the way), I have a question regarding playback through avi.net. On some of my movies the audio and video get out of sync when I add it in to avi.net. I have been searching for a solution and haven't found one yet and realize this topic is talked about to death, but still would like some guidance.

This is what I have installed currently: k-like codec pack v3.9.0, avi.net v2.5.8.0, pgc.net v2.0.0.0, and the support tools off of avi.net’s website. I have been using dvdfab hd decrypter v5.0.2.5 to get the movie to my hard drive and then I use pgc.net to extract just the movie. After this is done, I open up the extracted movie through VLC and everything plays fine and to make sure everything is still in sync. I then add it into avi.net……when its done indexing and setting the aspect ratio and starts playing through avi.net, the audio and video are out of sync. and carries over after the conversion. Is there something that I am doing wrong or is there something in the temp folder that avi.net creates that I could edit? My other thought is……could the type of encryption on the dvd be messing with the sync issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First of all thanks for this great tool!

I´d like to see some automatic interlace detection or maybe a window that tells me that whether i have to de-interlace the source or not.

Would that be possible?

I know you´re using FieldDeinterlace which is one of the finest and smoothest deinterlacers out there. Especially if the source MPEG material was converted from NTSC to PAL using interlacing.

Thank you very much in advance for your answer.

Hi, I believe I have posted about this before, but what you describe sounds like a common phenomenon I encounter occasionally. In my limited understanding, it has to do with copy protection and the limitations of the avi container. Even though DVDFab does a good job of removing copy protection, sometimes the protection method goes so far as to intentionally corrupt or alter the raw MPEG streams you are trying to extract. This occurs particularly with DVDs from one notorious big studio. MPEG format contains error correction and time codes that allow these to still play back correctly, but when converted you will have bad sync issues. When I encounter this issue I run the pgc-extracted VOBs through a feature called "Quickstream Fix" found in the commercial tool VideoRedo, and convert the output file with avi.NET. VideoRedo will tell you if it had to correct sync frames, after which you should not have sync issues in the converted DivX. I don't know of another tool that can do the same, though there may be one. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply....Another thought is if I use dvdfab to create an iso instead of a folder and use dvd decrpyter to extract just the movie. I have found out by selecting the ifo file created by dvd decrypter and when using AutoGK the audio and video are in sync. I don't know whether that sheds some light on anything, but wondering if it would be possible for a future avi.net release it be able to use the ifo file instead of strictly wanting the vob file to convert? However, I still use avi.net on the ones that work and AutoGK (for now) on the ones that don't, but will try what you suggested. :thanks:

Hello The Scientist

I am using avi.net version 2.5.8.0. I also have latest K Lite Mega Codec pack 4.2.5 installed. I have checked GSpot and found that XviD is installed. Here is the detail:

- - Type VFW
- - Function Decoder
DSH 4CC XVID
DSH Friendly Name XviD MPEG-4 Codec
DSH DirectShow CLSID CLSID_AVIDec {CF49D4E0-1115-11CE-B03A-0020AF0BA770}
REG Driver File C:\WINDOWS\system32\xvidvfw.dll
REG Merit 0x00200000
VFW Name XVID
VFW Description XviD MPEG-4 Codec

As I am trying to encode a video file ripped using rip.net, I always find that the video is encoded in DivX, whether I always chose XviD, which I personally prefer as my choice of output codec. here is the GSpot report of the converted file.

http://img128.imageshack.us/img128/3784/avinetlx2.png

Here is the log of the last processing:

BUILD : avi . NET v 2.5 .8 .0

As it can be seen from the above log that I have chosen XviD, but I still get the final movie being encoded in DivX. Please note that I have ripped the movie using the latest version of pgc.net.

Could you please help me to resolve this issue? :confused: :(

Jacquers

28th October 2008, 11:41

avi.NET uses the DivX command line tool DivXMux.exe to put the audio and video together after conversion, so this is why the video
is marked as DivX, even though XviD was used to encode the video.

arrirc

28th October 2008, 17:09

But GSpot is showing the Video Codec to be DivX rather than XviD!

Jacquers

29th October 2008, 12:29

This is from the author's website:

"When you make an XviD AVI and some third party program or utility tells you its really a DivX file, don't panic, the program is lying, the file *is* an XviD. All the program is doing is checking the 4CC of the file and reporting DivX, even for an XviD. When avi.NET muxes (combines the audio and video) at the end of a conversion, it uses DivX Networks DivXMux program. It is this program that is writing the DX50 4CC into the header making other programs report them as DivX, even when they are not. The latest GSpot v2.60 RC reports DX50 in an XviD made using avi.NET but does, correctly, also report XviD v1.1.2. So reat assured, if you make an XviD AVI with avi.NET, then it's an XviD."

Today I encoded some vobs with avi.NET, then sampled them with WMP and was prompted to update my DivX codec to 6.8.5. Okay, I've updated several times in the past with no issue so I went ahead and did it. Then later I tried to do some more encoding with avi.NET and got the following error each time it tried to start the first video encoding pass:

Well thanks for your reply, but I'm not really having a codec issue, I can play videos just fine. I use commercial DivX because of good non-"experimental" multithreaded performance. Updates have worked flawlessly up until now, but it appears version 6.8.5 has broken something to do with avs2avi.exe in avi.NET. I'm simply reporting this in case the author is still maintaining this app and wishes to investigate. Supposedly 6.8.5 improves multicore processing even more, but apparently either breaks the version of avs2avi included with avi.NET or the way avs2avi is being used in avi.NET. DivX version 6.8.4 continues to work fine.

First point out the way: NEVER INSTALL "A CODEC PACK"

Right, back to the question at hand, strange it appears when you did the codec update. Do you have NORTON (SYMANTEC) anti-virus or security program (or similar) installed by any chance?

The problem (error displayed) has been around for years and it has something to do with the way "avs2avi" interacts with the codec and/or scripts files made by the codec or the codec itself interacting with the scripts files it uses.

VirtualDubMod, a few years ago, used to bring up the same error, it used to trip norton anti-virus up, norton didn't like the way it was accessing a file even though all was OK or something like that, can't remember all the details, I've slept since then........

VirtualDubMod was eventually fixed to cure the problem, now take the fact AVS2AVI was built using/from VirtualDubMod code, and guess what, AVS2AVI was never fixed and I think development on it ceased years ago. It would be great if this was addressed.

So all I can suggest for now is........ Turn off, disabled Norton (or similar) during the encoding process or better still, dump Norton and get a proper virus checker :eek:

Hope all goes well, and give us an update.

Thanks for your response, but no, I do not have Norton AV or any similar program on the machine. This is my media center PC, I access the Internet from it VERY little, and primarily (almost exclusively) use it to encode and play video. I don't use codec packs either. I've installed DivX, Xvid (maybe, don't use it much), and AC3Filter.

It is strange this only occured after installing 6.8.5. The problem went away again after I re-installed 6.8.4, although I was very annoyed to discover that DivX doesn't keep or allow older versions to be available anywhere. Luckily I still had the previous installer in my temp cache. I may give 6.8.5 another shot since I know I can still revert back, maybe it was a fluke.

Erm, that would help if I had quoted the right post :)

Excellent, can't wait for the batch processing. I've been waiting for this before I attempt to encode my TV episode DVDs

I'd also like to remind you of a couple of ideas I had which would speed up the process for people that are encoding a lot. My ideas basically don't require the user to keep coming back to the PC after each stage.

pgc.net should allow a batch facility to rip multiple pgcs from multiple DVDs (or DVD folders on the hard drive). For example, I copy all 6 DVDs of the Sopranos series 1 to my hard drive, I then want to add all 13 episodes to the pgc.net list and hit go. Leave it for a while and let it do it's thing.

Index.net should have the option to also index subtitles. That way I can add all 13 episodes of sopranos to index.net, leave it to do it's thing and then the process of adding to avi.net is much quicker. I don't have to wait 13x3 mins for each episode to index the subs.

And then the obvious next step to these is to combine pgc.net and index.net so that I select the 13 pgcs from the 6 dvds on my hard drive. For each pgc, it rips, indexes, and indexes subs. So now I create my list, hit go, and when I come back, everything is ready for a quick avi.net session and then hit go again.

Thanks for the great app, keep it up.

Hi,
I've been using avi.net recently to rip some episode DVDs (could really use that extra batching functionality)

In these particular DVDs, all 4 episodes on the disk are under the same VTS number in pgc.net. (VTS_03) on the one i'm looking at now.
When I rip the first episode, I get two files:
VTS_03_PGC_01_0.IFO
VTS_03_PGC_01_1.VOB
For ripped the next episode to the same directory.
this gives me one new file
VTS_03_PGC_02_1.VOB

I'm not sure what determines if there should be an IFO file or not. However, when it comes to extracting subs for these files, it looks like the ifo is needed. In my case, I only got the option of extracting subs for the first episode of each DVD.

I've done a bit of searching and found that I can run VobSub Configure and rip the subs from the original DVD by hand.
If I had ripped each episode to a separate directory, I think I would have been fine.

Anyway, if anyone has an idea on a quick way to rip subs for all episodes that would be great.

As ever, Thanks for the great apps.

I don't have a solution for you as I don't really mess with subs, but it appears the tool creates one IFO per VTS folder, ie the first number in your VTS entry - "VTS_03_...", when that differs you'll get different IFO's in the same directory. I'm sure you're correct that ripping to diff folders will work too -- I wonder if the IFO generated would be different at all though, could it possibly be renamed/edited and reused for all the other VOB files? I don't know myself, just throwing that out there. Maybe a simple tool/script could be written to take the first IFO and recreate one for all the other VOBs from the same VTS folder. Just thinking out loud here.

Maybe it is a dumb question but why VAQ encodings (2-pass) are soooo undersized? I installed XviD 1.22 compiled by alexins (downloaded from here http://www.xvidvideo.ru/content/view/774/1/) and all 2-pass encodings are terribly undersized.
I made a test with "The Killing Fields" and the video stream is around five times smaller than the non VAQ (both settings - 2040 megabytes, 2-pass).

I have the greyed out subtitle combo aswell. But didn't think much to it as the DVD i've encoded doesn't have subtitles.

I'll try a different DVD later and see what happens.

The Scientist

23rd January 2010, 10:22

OK thanks for the feedback, another version will be out soon, I've spent this past 2 days almost re-writing everything from scratch, things (options) will look slightly different and it will act differently upon loading files.

A quick thought to the subtitles, the last version I released is now looking for the proper IFO name not an amended one like those produced from pgc.NET.

jgawera

23rd January 2010, 11:17

Are you saying we shouldn't be using pgc.net?

Thanks

<crosses fingers for more batching stuff> :)

The Scientist

23rd January 2010, 13:37

Well to be honest it's like this, I started updating pgc.NET, then started messing with avi.NET, then started re-writing loads of things, thought about what to do about the "IFO" naming, I just put it back to normal until I got round to finishing pgc.NET but got hung up in the last avi.NET update..... I did change pgc.NET and added batch options and auto "indexing" and subtitle extraction e.t.c. but just never got round to finishing properly. I will finish it after the next avi.NET update.

jgawera

23rd January 2010, 14:08

So for now, is there a workaround?
Can I just rename an IFO file to get avi.NET to pick up the subs?

Thanks for all your efforts.

Hello,

I enjoy using avi.net, but have a problem with the latest version, 2.7, there is no 560 width on the screen.size anymore while in the past version there was. Has this size been removed on purpose, or am I having a problem (bug?). As of now, I'm back to using 2.6.5.0.

Thanks.

OK I've done 2nd BETA now.

Thanks, I've installed it and it works fine. I did notice one thing different from 2.6.5.0 - when changing widths, the bitrate doesn't change in 2.7 like it does in 2.6.5.0. Its no big matter, just noticed it.

Also a suggestion (if you can), a way to add a volume control. Alot of the video I enter are very loud when previewing. Would be nice to adjust volume on the preview. But if not, no big deal, I can always mute the computer.

Also I notice you claim that .NET 3.5 is required to use, however I don't have .NET 3.5 installed (only up to 3.0). Course this would be nice if you don't change as I don't have plans as of yet to upgrade to 3.5, just wanted to pass that on in case of something missed.

Thanks again for putting 560 width back in. Much appreciated!

Yeh that's right, I did like that feature so it will be put back in.

Hmmm, I never even gave that a thought, I'll sort something out.

Yeh I just say 3.5 because that's the way the project is setup in VS but if it works in 3.0 then great.

Glad beta5 is OK now.

The main reason why I say it's only 32bit (x86) is simply because I don't have access to a non x86 PC to test it on.
Strangly, some people tell me x64 works fine, others tell me it doesn't work at all.
So do you have a x64 CPU and an x64 OS?
When you ran beta5, did it come up with any 'x64' message as the program loaded?

Hello,

Just a bit of cosmetic problem - when I loaded a HD video to convert, the message HDTV source detect, playback may be sluggish (or something to that affect) appeared on top of the video playback window. Problem is, it is in black text on a grey background, very hard to read. You may want to change that so the message is clearer and stands out.

Also, not sure if you can do this, during encoding of the video when it goes from pass 1 to pass 2, there is a small pop-up window. Most times this isn't a problem, but when in a full-screen app this window tends to pull out of the full-screen. I don't know what the window is since it is fast appearing. Is there a way to incorporate the window into the avi.net program, so it won't "pop-up"?

Other than the volume control, everything else works great so far.
:thanks:

The Scientist

...it is in black text on a grey background, very hard to read. You may want to change that so the message is clearer and stands out.
Yeh I know, it was kind of intentional.......well, it's something I put there in the beta and wern't sure whether to keep it or not, I wanted the user aware of it but not 'in your face' so to speak.

...during encoding of the video when it goes from pass 1 to pass 2, there is a small pop-up window.
I bet it only happens when you have DivX selected. I'm not sure how to stop it, maybe I'll have a closer look... it always happens when DivX goes to do a second pass, it flashes something up for a brief second, I don't know what it is, it's always too fast for me to see it.

...Other than the volume control, everything else works great so far. :thanks:

Okay, its no big deal, it was just hard to read and didn't interfere with anything, just thought to pass that along.

Yes, I use Divx mainly cause it's for my stand-alone dvd player (Philips 5982/37 model). Not sure what it contains, I think I saw some numbers once, can't be sure. Don't worry about it, I just try not to run fullscreen mode anything when using avi.NET.

Oh the volume control, I was hoping you'd forgot lol. Well not sure whether that will be in next proper version because, well, it's been done a few days. Just not sure where (in the GUI) to put it.

Like I stated before, it's not a big deal, if you can place it in, that would be very nice, if not, I can always mute the speakers for the time being. Don't go out of the way just cause it's something I would like.

Been a while, been using the program, quite honestly, quite alot. Slowly converting my physical media to digital to play on my newly formed media setup.

I have a few requests, if the author is so incline to read them:

1. Could you add a screen size called <org>? As in original size? Something that will pass through the dimensions and AR without changing them?

2. Is there a way you could add a timer to the shutdown PC after Conversion? When it's done it immediately shuts down. Would be nice there is like a 15sec or so timer saying 'Click Here to Abort'.

3. Maybe add more file types as inputs? VOBs, MPGs and TS's are fine, maybe, if possible, add more? Like MOVs? or AVIs?

Other than a few vobs that cause a/v sync issues, the program runs great.

Thanks for the effort and time making the program.

The exact asme files worked and encoded no problem under 3.2.0.0

I'm on windows 7 32 bit.

Thanks

Not sure on pgc.net, maybe try without that. I ripped the DVD to HD then run avi.net. Course I don't use anyDVD either (gave me too much problems with my system). I just ran 3.5 and it worked fine for me. Course I'm using Windows XP.

Try without pcg.net first, maybe something about it and 3.5 don't like each other? But if 3.2 works, why not stay with it unless you need newest xvid.

Also since you have Windows 7, why not try out the author's new video.net which saves in the .mkv/mp4 containers now. I would like to use it but it uses .NET 4 which I can't install.

Not for avi.NET, h.264 in an AVI is just crazy, but maybe just my opinion!
Can you load the AVI into MKVmergeGUI? If so, save as MKV then use rebox.NET to make the MP4, it will leave your video untouched and convert the audio to AAC for you.

Hi,

Could you possibly add additional input/output options for AVI.NET? maybe by using FFindex for non MPEG sources? you can expand some more compatibilities.

I know you have video.net, and thought you would eventually create a AVC.net... but if you could update AVI.NET for AVC/AAC output (MP4/MKV) .. maybe change the name to AV.net or something

If this is too much, can you maybe expand input options using FFindex so no matter what the file type it can be indexed and loaded with AVI.NET?
Just a request. What are your thoughts? possible?

Thanks!
