EasyXviD - XviD Encoder GUI (DVD,TS,MPEG,AVI,MKV,MP4 etc. to MP4, AVI - XviD)

[Hyper_Thread]

Actually, only XviD 1.2 beta has an experimental SMP support & can use the 2 cores of your processor.
The commandLine encoder "xvid_encraw.exe" don't support SMP yet. So, don't blame EasyXviD, it's only a GUI

Xvid_encraw supports multiple threads, but only if the installed version of xvidcore.dll also supports it.

Only 99% Vista Compatible
WARNING: Currently, no software is able to successfully mux video and audio to AVI in Windows Vista. Hence though the encode takes place fine, the final Muxed result will be corrupted. Its is highly recommended that you use only MP4 in Windows Vista.

Some say that it is because Vista doesn't write muxed AVI's correctly. One has to wait until Microsoft fixes it..
No software is a very inaccurate claim.
The avifile library included with vista is broken. However if a program uses it's own routines for writing avi files (like avimux_gui or virtualdub) instead of relying on the avifile library there is no problem. xvid_encraw was updated over 9 months ago to not use the avifile library.

Use a manual resolution height. Leave AutoCrop to be checked.
Use the Custom AR.
INFO: After your posts, I'm also working on the Non-Anamorphic Encode.



Custom AR changes only the aspect ratio and doesn't have anything to do with black borders. I guess Auto Crop was not checked. You must crop it in order to remove the black borders.

Unfortunately, most of the video playing softwares ignore the Custom AR in AVI files. So it might still look stretched. But it will show up in the correct aspect ratios in standalone players. This is one reason why Anamorphic Encodes are preferred.

I'm glad to hear you're working on a "non-anamorphic" feature! :)
About the custom AR... I did crop the movie. I did it manually with the values I got from the software Aspect. Then I put in the custom AR, also with the values I got from Apect. Still I get black borders. That's what I thought was so strange. Any ideas?

[audioslave]

To make things more clear:

Values from "Aspect"
Crop Y1: 11, Y2: 11 (manual crop)
Aspect 1.85:1
Resolution 704x384

After I get these values I put them into EasyXvid. Still, when I preview the script in VDub (after the *.d2v is created by EasyXvid) I still get small borders on the top and bottom. It almost looks as if I didn't crop the frames at all?! I surely must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what... This might be related to my attept to make anamorphic to non-anamorphic but I believe that's quite possible to do with the correct values in the right places. :)

EDIT
After reading through your answer once more I tried your suggestion. Sorry, I missed the vital info at first. ;)
This time I didn't crop manually in EasyXviD (I used Auto Crop). I only put in the resolution and custom AR.
TA-DA!!! Everything looks as it should! :D Thank you so much for your help! Now I'll finally run through my first full encode. :)

Never had any problem muxing AVI files in Vista.

But the program uses xvid_rawenc. The Video Output by your program is all fine squid_80. But the problem is with muxing. Though VDub uses its own library, that is the one causing problems. After muxing, the output file is corrupted. I guess there is nothing I can do about it since its only a GUI.

If any of you have any suggesstions, please help.. :)

What is the muxer you used?

I regret to say this. I lost all my source code and my backup during an accidental partition removal and format.

I only have the really old source code which I had uploaded on the net. I'm really feeling lazy to write the code for Video Preview, and Profiles all over again. So, I have decided to drop this Project.

Sorry, Guys. But Project takeovers are welcome. Development is ceased permenantly.

But the latest available version will always be available.

But anyway, I have started EasyAVC project that uses x264 Codec. The GUI design currently in my mind is quite different from EasyXvid, but for the better.

Anyway, help for EasyXviD will always be available in this forum. Feel free to ask for any help. I'm no longer a developer of EasyXviD, just an user like you all, without the source, only with the executables.

[Hyper_Thread]

I'm so sorry to hear that, coz as i've said in an earlier post : "EasyXviD can be a must have GUI". I sincerely encourage you to restart & continue with this app.
Anyway, if you think you can do better than MeGUI or Leiming's x264 GUI, why not...

[fight2win]

just i tried, avi was frm megui, muxed it with ac3 using vdm, output was ok, get latest vista updates using windows updates...
