Hi,
I would like to present and get some feedback for a tool I've written just recently. Having done some Xvid encoding from DVDs using the Xvid guide on Doom9 (http://www.doom9.org/xvid.htm) I noted some steps that are repetative and quite time consuming but most importantly: They can be automated.
In principle encoding is accomplished in three steps:
Rip DVD with Robot4Rip. Use Gordianknot to crop and resize the image and create an AviSynth file. Load the .avs with VirtualDub and process the input data in two-pass mode to finally get an Xvid AVI.
What my program does is it replaces 2 and 3... at least the setup. As input data it receives a .d2v file via drag and drop and automatically creates an .avs file and appends a new job to the VirtualDub.jobs file from VirtualDub. So all that remains to be done is to execute the batch jobs in VirtualDub.
Here is the URL where the program, I called it VideoScriptCreator, can be downloaded for testing:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/videoscriptcrea (http://sourceforge.net/projects/videoscriptcrea)
Best regards, ZenJu
PS: My tool uses DGIndex for access to the mpeg stream so I hope it qualifies for this category. :)
