1. is dgindexnv working with geforce 6600

There is a table on the website.

2. is it working with mpeg4 transport streams

The website says AVC. TS and MKV is supported, such info should be relative easy to find using the thread search feature or Google.

3. is it possible to do multiple cutting (remove ads etc)

No, both MeGUI and StaxRip have a GUI to cut with AviSynth, StaxRip is much better in this area.

Also is there a way to have a demo licence to test?

No in order to make it hard for crackers I guess.

1. is dgindexnv working with geforce 6600 No.

2. is it working with mpeg4 transport streams If you mean AVC video, then yes.

3. is it possible to do multiple cutting (remove ads etc) If you mean by trimming the TS file itself, then yes, with a limitation (open GOPs not re-encoded).

Also is there a way to have a demo licence to test? No.

Considering that this thread is more than 100 pages long, and hardly a few hours goes by without the author (neuron2) showing up to respond to user requests and problems; and considering the license fee is less than the MSRP (retail price) of a single DVD, Blu-Ray, or a month's subscription to any cable, satellite, ISP, or Netflix plan; my recommendation to you is to take the nearly risk-free gamble that DGIndexNV won't do what you want right out of the box, show your support for the customer-centric way neuron2 develops his software, and JUST BUY A LICENSE ALREADY.

Seconded - not to mention the reason I paid for the license, DGDecNV is a neat tool, and I'd like to encourage developers like Don to continue developing and improving tools like this.

I also think that most people by the time they find DGDecNV have been using Don's other free tools for years, so the registration fee is laughable by comparison to the value I've had from Don's many tools bundled with most GUIs.

3. is it possible to do multiple cutting (remove ads etc)

There are better programs suited for doing that, of which I use VideoReDo.

Hi, neuron2.
I have a broken image from time to time like this:

I believe it starts from new license type version.
This particular picture taken with build2023
My system specs: Core2 E6400 @2.13 GHz, GeForce 8400GS 256Mb, Win Server 2008 SP2, driver version 258.96

[Guest]

I have a broken image from time to time Please post a link to an unprocessed sample that I can use to reproduce the issue.

[stax76]

Assuming I have a MKV/AVC file, should I open it directly or create a h264 file first? Since both works I'm not sure which method to choose.

[Guest]

Just use it directly.

[stax76]

Maybe you can write the startup directory or executable path to the registry at HKCU\Software or as environment variable at HKCU\Environment, could be useful for the command shell, batch files, scripts and GUIs, if you do it then please at every start so it still works after moving to a new location.

Sorry but I've gave you wrong info before: this issue was represented in build 2021. Indexing file was made with this build and driver version 256.
But then I've encoded this movie in a first time with build 2017 (like so, don't remember exactly version) and driver version 197.45 this kind of issues was produced more often and in different places.

So now with indexing file version 2023 and driver version 258.96 there is no issues in this particular sample. I can't tell for entire movie because it takes much time for checking it because of Remote Desktop I'm working in.

Small GUI request for you Neuron2.
The dialogue to load a new template file opens in the folder where you last loaded a video file. It would be nice if it remembered the folder where you last loaded a template file instead (I keep all my templates in one place).

[Guest]

So now with indexing file version 2023 and driver version 258.96 there is no issues in this particular sample. Report again if you run into any issues with the latest version. The older versions had different SPS/PPS injection heuristics that could explain what you saw.

I don't want to write anything to the registry. Isn't the startup path available from the first argument argv[0]?

Apparently using the option 'Adjust PAT/PMT' in DVBViewer helps, strange why you can't reproduce it.

I don't want to write anything to the registry.

Because there might be a orphaned key? Not a big issue I would say. I don't think anybody would mind a few bytes more if it can make something easier, Win7 x64 uses about 30 GB disc space! It's not that important however, usually I just try to detect and automate everything possible trying to make things a little bit more easy.

[Clumpco]

I'll see what I can do for that.

:thanks:

[7ekno]

Only from inside the current running program ;)

For those that want to call DGIndexNV.exe from either a batch file or other application, it can be a "challenge" to find the file (searching all files on a HDD for "DGIndexNV.exe" can take a while on current 2TB drives!) ...

At the end of the day, not a big issue, just means packaging the whole package and trying to instruct end uses how to copy licenses across!!

Yes, maybe I should just add it to the package, that would of course solve this location problem.

[Guest]

You'd have to tell the app where to look for the path too. If it's in the registry you need to know the key. Why not simply do what most third-party apps do...make the user configure the program paths.

Yes, maybe I should just add it to the package, that would of course solve this location problem. To do that you would need permission from the copyright holder.

[stax76]

This was removed a long time ago but since last version it's back because of DGDecNV and because some might find it useful for other applications like x264 x64. Auto detecting it would just be a little bit more easy for the user.

To do that you would need permission from the copyright holder.

Would I get your permission?

[Guest]

Would I get your permission? Yes, if you include a prominent link to my DGDecNV web page.

There is a application management dialog to show and open the website:

Small GUI request for you Neuron2.
The dialogue to load a new template file opens in the folder where you last loaded a video file. It would be nice if it remembered the folder where you last loaded a template file instead (I keep all my templates in one place). I have improved the AVS template support:

* Can configure path for templates folder
* Can choose desired template file (dialog opens in the configured templates folder)
* Can enable or disable template file
* Can configure overwrite or not if script already exists
* The template file is no longer held locked by DGIndexNV after Save Project

Let me know if the following build (32-bit) meets your needs and I will release it.

http://neuron2.net/dgdecnv/templates.zip

Delete your existing INI file to let DGIndexNV make a new one with the right stuff.

[Clumpco]

Almost there :-) Already an immense improvement.
AVS template part works just fine, however if you use the "File, Open" dialogue immediately after changing the template file it takes you to the template folder too.

Also if you have already done a "File, Open" the template dialogue shows all files instead of just AVS.

I suspect some shared ini variable problems.

[Guest]

if you use the "File, Open" dialogue immediately after changing the template file it takes you to the template folder too. That's a windows quirk. I have fixed it by saving the current working directory when entering the AVS Template dialog and restoring it when leaving.

Also if you have already done a "File, Open" the template dialogue shows all files instead of just AVS. Not for me. What OS are you using?

Not for me. What OS are you using?Win 7 32 bit - Maybe the file open dialogue instance is being persisted from the previous use?

[Guest]

I've tested it on Win7 and gotten it working right. There are some differences for GetOpenFileName() on Win7 versus WinXP.

@all

Heads up! I am changing my email address. My new address is:

donald.graft @ cantab.net

I am doing this to disconnect me from comcast so that I can change my provider. As an alumnus I get this address for life so I may as well use it.

My old address (neuron2 @ comcast.net) will auto forward and auto reply for some time.

[LigH]

About File-Open dialogs, I made the following experience in Delphi 7:

Having an empty "Path" property, the dialog opens in "My Documents" (since Windows XP). One could store paths and always put them into the property before executing the dialog. But a simple "." (dot) in it can also be convenient already, it should make the dialog open in the executable's directory (or the one which was set to the active directory in a link calling it).

Might or might not help in this case. Maybe worth a try.

[Guest]

Might or might not help in this case. Maybe worth a try. As noted above, I have already gotten it working right.

[Guest]

Basically, after setting the pointers to zero instead of using "delete" the crashes, especially during debugging, went away.
Thanks, Groucho2004, that is very helpful. I'm working with hank315 on this and it appears likely it is the cause of the crashes in HCEnc 024 beta. Hank provided me an initial fixed build that looks promising here at work, although I need to test it at home on the machine that was regularly failing.

Hi,

I get CU init failed & Failed to create video decoder (100) when attempting to do anything with the .avs file when accessing my system via remote desktop. I can't open the .avs in vdub, nor can I run an x264 encode. It works ok when not using remote desktop. Is there any work around for this?

It can't work when you use remote desktop as that doesn't use the graphics card drivers. So don't use remote desktop.

You can use VNC instead

* Improved the AVS template handling functionality.

* Added an option in the Audio Demux dialog to permanently turn off
audio processing/demuxing. The state of this option is shown on the
audio demux menu pulldown.

* Made some changes to CUDA context locking intended to eliminate possible
crashing in some third-party applications. Successfully tested with
MEGUI 0.3.5.6 and a build of HCEnc 024beta that Hank provided and will hopefully release soon.

* Please delete your DGIndexNV.ini file so that a new one can be created.

Did that, but it still showed the previous path & avs file. Also "Change template" would not work until I had redefined the path (to the same one as before).

[Guest]

Yeah, I just noticed that too. I thought it was the margaritas, but apparently not. Is it all OK after redefining the path?

[Clumpco]

Yeah, I just noticed that too. I thought it was the margaritas, but apparently not. Is it all OK after redefining the path?Seems to be, but no margaritas here...

[Guest]

I slipstreamed the fix for the initial INI file. Thanks for pointing it out.

[stax76]

Might MKV indexing possibly be optimized for better speed? It seems it's a lot slower then TS indexing.

[Guest]

I use Haali's low level library as is because it is released for free use without licensing. I can look at the other available libraries if they are LGPL so that I can invoke them as DLLs. Alternatively I can look at optimizing Haali's code. Can't promise an ETA but I will put it on the to-do list.

[Firebird]

Is it possible to add x264 lossless support?

[Revgen]

^Nvidia's drivers don't support lossless.

[levi]

Can DGdecodeNV take advantage of multiple nvidia video cards in the same system without SLI? (IE different models).

[Guest]

Not yet, but it will come in a new release pretty soon. Tell me what you need; I love to make my users happy.

[yup]

Hi all!
Sorry for off topic. I am using DGIndexNV for getting index files dga and Dolby digital sound from set of mts files. I do not have problem with video and audio, but how I can get subtitles from set of mts files?
Please advice.

With kind regards yup.

[stax76]

DGIndexNV can't extract subtitles, there are two common ways:

1. MakeMKV > mkvextract, StaxRip and RipBot264 fully automate mkvextract. DGDecNV, ffms2, DSS/DSS2 all can open MKV containing AVC/VC-1/MPEG-2. Works equally and great for both DVD and Blu-ray.

2. eac3to demuxing, this is a command line tool, most GUIs make it easy to use, StaxRip, RipBot264, MeGUI, HD-DVD/Blu-Ray Stream Extractor and many others.
