FFCoder is a .NET based audio/video converter, which is capable of transcoding audio and video files to various formats. It is a unified frontend for many freeware utilities such as FFmpeg, MPlayer and MEncoder.

Features:


Encode audio and video files to 46 formats
Batch processing (Multiple files can be encoded with same settings)
Parallel processing (Multiple files can be encoded at same time on multi-core CPUs)
Directory watch mode (Folders can be monitored for input files. Files will be automatically picked up and encoded with pre-defined settings)
Background processing (Encoding will be done in the background so that the user can continue with other tasks)
Advanced configuration options for all codecs
2-pass video encoding with automated first pass
600+ presets for encoding videos for mobile devices (Mobiles, PMPs, etc)
Support for presets created by other applications (MeGUI and XMediaRecode)
Avisynth scripting support for processing audio and video
Options for cropping and trimming videos (with auto-detection of borders and multi-segment trimming)
Analyze audio and video files (provides detailed information about audio and video properties)
Extract audio and video tracks without re-encoding
Options for pause/resume during encoding and sleep/shutdown/hibernate after encoding
Support for ripping DVDs to AVI, MKV and other formats
Create JPEG/BMP/PNG/TIFF images from video files
Free for personal and commercial use

Oh, not again in .NET... what is wrong with you people?

anyways, good work :D

[teejee2008]

.NET is best for making GUIs!! Doing it in C will take 10 times more effort :)

Stay on topic guys.

FFCoder v0.92 Beta

Changes:

[added] xvid_encraw encoder
[added] LAME mp3 encoder
[added] x264: MB-Tree options
[fixed] Video playback problem on WinXP systems with ATI cards
[fixed] Xvid: No. of threads were not specified in command line args
[fixed] FFmpeg + Xvid: Bitrate was not specified in command line string
[fixed] FFmpeg: Audio codec settings were not saved in preset
[fixed] All presets: Check the range before loading a value from preset file
[changed] Global presets: folder structure changed
[changed] Main window: Disable audio/video/subtitles groupbox if encoder does not encode audio/video/subtitles
[changed] Progress window: Hide useless columns
[removed] MEncoder: vp3,vp4,vp5,vp7 vfw codecs have been disabled due to problems. vp6 codec is working fine

Notes:

1) Delete the presets folder of previous version. Extract the update into the same directory as previous version.
2) VP6 codec is producing upside-down video. Use the Flip video filter to fix the problem.
3) Xvid_encraw supports ony AVS files as input. Non-AVS files are not supported.
4) For LAME encoder the source file can be in any format supported by ffmpeg. The source files are decoded with ffmpeg and then piped to LAME.

After a few seconds the program crashes. If i open the file with drag and drop, the programm chrashes too, but without the the error message.

//EDIT:

The error only occurs if the first file is an avs file...

[teejee2008]

The error only occurs if the first file is an avs file...
The error is occurring if the list is empty and the first file added is an AVS file?

I'll need your help to find out what the problem is. Save the following text to a text file named test.cmd. Put it in bin/ffmpeg folder and double-click on it. It will produce a file named output.txt. Email this file to me at tony.george.kol@gmail.com.

@ECHO OFF
ffmpeg.exe -i "FULL-PATH-TO-AVS-FILE" 2>output.txt

Remember to add the full path to the AVS file. There is something wrong with the output produced by ffmpeg that is causing FFCoder to crash.

Hi

The program download link is not working, the 16MB package, after pressing download it displays a file not found error

[ricardo.santos]

After several tries i managed to download the program...but i've been unable to convert any video so far, i cant see any reference in the GUI to VP6 encoding.

[buzzqw]

ok, the update works

even if stuck on analisis of vob files..

BHH

[teejee2008]

@ ricardo.santos

In the main menu if you select Encoder -> MEncoder then VP6 will be shown in the video drop-down box. Don't bother trying it. Its not working. VP6 encoding with mencoder is very problematic. I'll be removing this option in the next version.

@ buzzqw

The 'analysis' of added files is very buggy. I'm rewriting the whole code. It'll take a few days to fix.

[Frozen-Figo]

I'm trying to encode ts files, but also give me "Failed"

@ Frozen-Figo

The problem is fixed. Download the update.

@ fahim

The problem is fixed. Download the update.

[ChaosKing]

With v0.93 i can´t open any file :/

[teejee2008]

Its working fine on my machine!!! I tested it with a huge number of video files of different types and there were no problems!
whats the error message you are getting? which OS? what type of file are you adding?

[ChaosKing]

I have win7 64bit.
I tried several files: MKV(h246, aac), vob, avi(xvid,mp3), avs...

//EDIT:
If you want to see your program in action on my system, download this video: link (http://chaosking.de/ffcoder.avi)

[teejee2008]

The video was very helpful. It looks like MediaInfo.dll is failing to get the file properties under Win7. You can try one thing. Go to the MediaInfo website and download the 64 bit version of mediainfo.dll. Replace the existing DLL file with the 64 bit DLL and see if it works. The link is give below:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mediainfo/MediaInfo_DLL_0.7.21_Windows_x64_WithoutInstaller.7z

If it doesn't work then use the mediainfo.dll file from the previous version of FFCoder.

[ChaosKing]

works perfectly now :)

[teejee2008]

Glad to hear that. I'll include both dlls in the next version, and the program will automatically load the correct one depending on the system. Let me know if you find any other problems. Thanks for your help :)

@easyfab

Are you using Windows 7?
Are you getting this error for every file?


I'm using winxp Sp3, DIRECTX End-User Runtime version 9.27.1734 ( 9/8/2009 ),Microsoft® .NET Framework 3.0.6920.1427 .
and yes I have this with all files I try ( .flv, .avi, .mp4 )

I only download "FFCoder v0.93 Beta Full Package (16 MB)" and do nothing else (no ffmpeg update or other )
I have:
avisynth 2.6 (testversion), can it be the problem ?

[teejee2008]

The problem is not with avisynth. Avisynth is used only if you add an AVS file to the list.
The error is occuring while casting the string "15.000" to a double, which is very strange.
I think the problem is with your .NET framework installation, but I'm not sure.

Try to uninstall the framework completely, and install one of the folllowing .NET versions:

.NET 3.5 SP1 (240 MB) (http://download.microsoft.com/download/2/0/e/20e90413-712f-438c-988e-fdaa79a8ac3d/dotnetfx35.exe)

FFCoder v0.94 Beta

[fixed] Files could not be added to list on Windows 7 64-bit (64-bit version of MediaInfo.dll will be used now)
[fixed] MEncoder: Crash if cropping values are set
[fixed] AMR: Audio options were not initialized
[added] avs2avi and Wavpack encoder
[added] For encoders that support only AVS files as input, a temporary AVS file will be generated for non-AVS files.
[improved] Show error message if file is not added to list.

Download FFCoder v0.94 BETA Update (1.5 MB) (http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/9/13/2574323/FFCoder%20v0.94%20Update.7z)

Note: AVS2AVI lets you encode AVS files to AVI using any VFW video codec installed on your system. A temporary AVS file will be created for any non-AVS file that you add to the list. So the input file can be anything (AVI, FLV, etc).

How to encode to VP7
==========================
Download VP6 (http://www.webalice.it/f.corriga/vp6personal/VP6.4.2.rar) or VP7 (http://www.free-codecs.com/download_soft.php?d=4004&s=465) codec and install it.
Start FFCoder.
Select AVS-2-AVI from Encoder menu.
Click on Video Configure button.
Select number of passes.
Click codec setup button.
Choose VP7 from list and configure it.
Add files and click Start to encode.

@easyfab

Do you have 64-bit XP? If you do, then try this update. It may fix the problem.

[easyfab]

No I have WinXP 32 but the new version v0.94 can open the files now :)

I'll make more test ( encode) later

Thanks

[JoeH]

Thanks for this great program. I especially like the fact that it can import MeGUI settings and does not require an AVS script.

After using this a while, I have a few minor things I would like to see added to make this great little program even greater:
1. Allow more than 16000 bitrate for x264 encodes. There are some videos where it makes a noticeable difference, and for encodes which will be burnt to blu-ray disks it is a great option.
2. Allow "default" settings on the main screen. I always set it to x264, and then when I reopen it, it goes back to AVI. I did figure out how to set the default x264 settings, which works great.
3. For x264 encoding, it would be nice to see on the main screen the template that is currently selected (as in MeGUI).
4. It would be nice to have an easy way to change the default processor priority (Low, Normal, High, etc.).
5. Bug report: The program crashes if trying to encode a file which is in a directory whose name has an accent (such as í, é, ó, ú). Again, I have only tested this using x264 option.

Thanks again. I'm really excited about this GUI. :thanks:

[easyfab]

I found one thing to change in preset.xml settings (with x264 encode )

preset.xml is :
<IPRatio>1,4</IPRatio>
<PBRatio>1,3</PBRatio>

and it should be :

<IPRatio>1.4</IPRatio>
<PBRatio>1.3</PBRatio>

FFcoder become very plaisant to use, thanks.

[ChaosKing]

teejee2008, the new update didn't fixed the Mediainfo problem for win7 x64. FFCoder still load MediaInfo.dll insted of MediaInfo64.dll. :/
If i rename MediaInfo64.dll to MediaInfo.dll, then all is working fine.

[teejee2008]

@ JoeH

1) I'll raise the cap to 1 Gbps
2) Okay
3) I don't want to waste space on main window
4) Okay (Its already on my To-Do list (http://teejee2008.wordpress.com/ffcoder/roadmap/))
5) FFmpeg can't handle such file paths (FFmpeg is used for decoding before piping to x264). I'll think of some way to fix this.

Thanks for your suggestions

[teejee2008]

@ easyfab

On my PC the preset is saved correctly. On your PC the dot is saved as comma :confused:

As long as the value can loaded correctly it doesn't matter what it is saved as. Open the x264 window. Change the value IPRatio and PBRatio to some other value. Save the preset. Change IPRatio/PBRatio to 1.4 / 1.3. Reload the preset and check if there's any problem.

[teejee2008]

@ ChaosKing

Initially there are 2 files: MediaInfo.dll (32-bit, 2 MB size) and MediaInfo64.dll (64-bit, 3.3 MB size)

If the OS is 64-bit then the program will rename MediaInfo.dll to MediaInfo32.dll and rename MediaInfo64.dll to MediaInfo.dll.
In your case after starting FFCoder for first time, the files will be switched, and you should see the following files: MediaInfo32.dll (32-bit, 2 MB size) and MediaInfo.dll (64-bit, 3.3 MB size)

Please verify this and let me know. If this is not happening then it means that your OS was detected as 32-bit. Its no big deal. Just put a single MediaInfo.dll (any version) in the folder and FFcoder will use that (It won't do any switching).

PS: It is not possible to load MediaInfo64.dll directly since the program was compiled with MediaInfo.dll

[killerhex]

does ffcoder encodes to mpeg2 dvd compliant

[teejee2008]

FFCoder v0.95 Beta

Changes:

[added] 380 device presets (Imported from XMediaRecode (http://www.xmedia-recode.de/))
[added] New "Join" tool for joining similar video files without re-encoding
[added] New "Cut" tool for saving a video clip without re-encoding
[added] Last session settings will be restored when you start FFCoder
[added] "OK", "Cancel" and "Restore Defaults" buttons for x264, xvid and libavcodec config windows
[added] FourCC option for x264, xvid and libavcodec
[fixed] FFmpeg: Theora and vorbis: Bitrate was specified in kb/s instead of bits/s
[fixed] All Presets: Better error handling
[fixed] Global presets: Settings were not saved/loaded for AMR, Libavc and DV codecs
[improved] New progress window for single file encoding
[improved] Libavcodec default settings
[improved] Player window is now separated into 2 windows: Display window and Control window.
[updated] FFmpeg to r19948
[updated] x264 to r1271

Notes:

1) The file joiner tool uses MEncoder to do the job. The file produced may have audio/video sync problems.
2) The new presets have been imported from XMediaRecode (http://www.xmedia-recode.de/). I don't know if they work. I simply converted the presets to FFCoder's format. If you have any of these devices (iPods,PMPs) and the presets don't work then inform me so that I can fix/remove these presets from future versions.
3) The current versions of FFmpeg/MEncoder are unable to "copy" AAC audio from an MKV source file without re-encoding (It exits with an error message). So the rebuild/cut/join tools won't work with such files.
4) FFmpeg now has a native aac-lc encoder. FFCoder will use that instead of libfaac.

[teejee2008]

@ Killerhex

Yes it can. Use MEncoder. Settings for dvd/vcd encoding are given here:

Microsoft Security Essentials is totally rubbish. All the batch files (*.cmd) are being reported as a virus. What a joke. You can open the *.cmd files in Notepad and check for yourself if they are dangerous. I'll remove all *.cmd files in next release to prevent any false detections.

FFCoder v0.96 BETA

Changes:

[added] Progress window: Set process priority
[added] Presets for creating VCD/SVCD/DVD compatible files
[added] Config window for mencoder's mpeg muxer
[fixed] Player: Control window hangs if display window is closed
[changed] MEncoder's harddup filter will always be added to filter chain (for better A-V sync)

I also have the same problem as easyfab with the comma for ipratio that should have been a dot. By the way, I can`t find any presets for x264 in the presets folder, it would be nice if the program came with lots of presets. Also, I personally prefer to install programs... If you want I can make an installer for you. And by the way, great program!

[teejee2008]

I also have the same problem as easyfab with the comma for ipratio that should have been a dot.
I have been trying to find out why the dot is being saved as comma but I haven't had any luck till now.

By the way, I can`t find any presets for x264 in the presets folder, it would be nice if the program came with lots of presets.
Did you download just the update or the full package? If you download the full package for v0.95, there are around 300 device presets located in /presets/global/devices and 50 x264 presets located in /presets/codec/libx264.

Also, I personally prefer to install programs... If you want I can make an installer for you.
Thanks for the offer :) Most people prefer zipped files. That's why I don't bother making an installer. I'll make an installer from now on. It just takes 5 minutes.

And by the way, great program!
Thanks :) Let me know if you have any suggestions

[teejee2008]

FFCoder v0.97 BETA

The next version will have some changes in the preset file format. So any global presets created with previous versions will not work correctly with this version. Codec presets will not be affected. Only those presets will be affected which were created from the Main window. Please wait for the first STABLE/FINAL release before creating a lot of presets. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The next version will have an "Automatic mode" for encoding files. In this mode you won't have to select an encoder. The program will automatically decide which encoder to use for encoding audio and video. For example if you select MKV + H264 + AAC then x264 will be used for encoding video, Nero AAC will be used for encoding audio, and muxing will be done with MKVMerge.

[ivar]

Ah, I were looking in the x264 folder for presets, not libx264. An idea could be to be to press an "update" button in the program and make it update presets & ffmpeg/x264 etc. executables, like in MeGUI. Right now I can`t think of any other improvements... The program already has a lot of possibilities. Very good that you have implemented batch encoding, I don`t understand why some programs doesn`t have that

[ho0k3r2]

Has anyone had issues with audio sync. I'm using the mencoder option with XVID AVI and AC3 5.1 channel. I'm using this for XBOX 360 which only support the following. It seems that mp3 and 2 channel work fine but when try to go use AC3 it causes all sorts of issues.

File extensions: .avi, .divx
Containers: AVI
Video profiles: MPEG-4 Part 2 (Simple Profile and Advanced Simple Profile)
Audio profiles: Dolby® Digital (2 channel and 5.1 channel), MP3

[teejee2008]

There is a new item named Automatic in the Encoders menu. If you select this mode then FFCoder will automatically decide which encoder(s) to use. The audio and video will be encoded separately to temporary files, and the temporary files will be muxed into the output file.

Example 1: User selects MKV + AAC + H264
Result: Audio will be encoded using Nero AAC (Step-1), video will be encoded using x264_cli (Step-2) and muxing will be done using MKVMerge(Step-3).

Example 2: User selects OGG + Vorbis + Theora
Result: Everything will be done in a single step using ffmpeg2theora

Example 3: User selects FLV + MP3 + VP7
Result: Audio will be encoded using LAME encoder (Step-1), video will be encoded using avs2avi (Step-2) and muxing will be done using FFmpeg (Step-3).

I'll give you rundown of the things I tried. I was first using Windows 7 and thought that might be an issue so I moved to a Vista machine that was just a basic install with no codecs or anything else installed except FFcoder.

What I tried:

Test 1:
AVI XVID AC-3 6ch using ffmpeg
Result: Video looks fine but I get no Audio

Test 2:
AVI XVID AC-3 2ch using ffmpeg
Result: Video looks fine but I get Audio is delayed abour 1 second.

Test 3:
AVI XVID AC3 2ch using Mencoder
Result: Video looks fine but I get Audio is delayed abour 1 second.

Test 4:
AVI XVID AC3 6ch using Mencoder
Result: Video looks fine but I get Audio is delayed abour 1 second.

Test 5:
AVI XVID MP3 2ch using Mencoder
Result: Video and Audio both work fine.

I have tried other video files with the same result. This program works awesome it's just these couple issues and they seem to be an issue no matter which GUI I use so I don't think it is your program but more like something to do with FFMPEG and MENCODER.

I haven't found anyone else talking about this issue so I'm not sure what to think. Maybe no one else is using 6ch AC3 as an option. If there is no fix then I understand and will just switch to 2ch I just really wanted to keep the 6ch for future use on the 360.

Thanks for your help and again GREAT PROGRAM!

One other thing to note is when using AC3 with either MENCODER or FFMPEG it causes Windows Media Player and the Xbox 360 to play the video incorrectly. It looks like it speeds it up or something. Again the MP3 version works flawlessly on whatever I try.

[MySchizoBuddy]

can this program compile under mono (http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page)

[teejee2008]

can this program compile under mono (http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page)

No it won't compile with mono. It depends on many utilities which run on windows only :(

[teejee2008]

@ho0k3r2

AC3 encoding is known to be problematic with FFmpeg and MEncoder. Try encoding with Avidemux also. If that fails then try some video converter that's not based on ffmpeg/mencoder. If the audio is delayed by 1 sec throughout the duration of the video, then you can easily fix it by setting an audio delay of -1 sec. If the audio delay occurs suddenly at some point or if the audio-video goes out of sync gradually then it will be more difficult to fix.

[TheImperial2004]

I admit !

Your tool is now my main x264 GUI !

Thanks for the great efforts ! I'm looking forward for your next releases ;)

:thanks:

Edit : Resizing filter is not working ..
Edit 2 : Framerate is always 25 fps if I use Resizing filter ?

Nice improvements in this new version! Another improvement I just thought of is to be able to just copy video and/or audio (just changing container for instance). Also, I got an error while trying to encode (from lagarith) with x264:

The video filters are not working when selected video codec is x264. Thanks for reporting the problem. I'll fix it.

Another improvement I just thought of is to be able to just copy video and/or audio (just changing container for instance).


If you select "FFmpeg" from the Encoder menu, then you will get options for copying the audio and video tracks without re-encoding. In Automatic mode the "Copy" options are not yet available. I'll add these options in next beta.

I got an error while trying to encode (from lagarith) with x264:


It is difficult to find the problem. The error occurs for a particular Lagarith file, or does it occur for other files also?

[ivar]

I think I found the reason for several similar problems in ffcoder:

When using x264 with Mencoder I get the following error:
Option x264encopts: Bad argument ip_factor=1,4
Option x264encopts: Bad argument pb_factor=1,3
Option x264encopts: Bad argument aq_strength=1,0

I got a similar error when trying to load a x264 preset:
System.InvalidCastException: Conversion from string "0.9" to type 'Decimal' is not valid.
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToDecimal(String Value, NumberFormatInfo NumberFormat)
at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.Conversions.ToDecimal(String Value)
at FFCoder.frmLibx264.LoadPreset_XMLElement_MeGUI(XmlElement root)

I also got a similar error when trying to set the duration of a clip.

My system was set with Norwegian regional settings (which means that the decimal separator is ","). After changing to English (united states) (where decimal separator is "."), all of these problems dissapeared. Maybe you need to override this setting in ffcoder so that "." is always used as separator. I was then able to convert with mencoder x264, but ffmpeg x264 & x264 both still crashed when trying to encode, giving me the same error message as I posted recently. This happens for other types of video files also (xvid), not only lagarith.

Other ideas: Possibility to use codecs installed on the system (like in virtualdub). It is not that I think ffcoder is lacking codecs, it`s just an idea to get an even more flexible encoder. The only codecs I can think of right now that I`m "missing" are maybe lagarith & windows media.
I normally don`t like windows media format, but if I`m sending videos to people who don`t know much about video they most likely don`t have the required codecs installed, and can most likely only play windows media video.

You are right! The problem was with the localization settings! Thank you very much :) The comma problem was driving me crazy. Download the update. It should fix the problem.

You can encode with Lagarith using FFCoder!!!!

Select Automatic from the Encoder menu. Set the video option to VFW Codec. Click Configure. A small window will open. Select the lagarith codec (or any other codec installed on your system) and click OK.

WMA/WMV files can also be created with FFCoder. The only problem is that the files will be in Windows Media 8 format (Windows Media 9 gives better quality)

[teejee2008]

FFCoder v0.98 Beta

[added] Audio and Video streams can now be copied without re-encoding in Automatic mode
[fixed] Localization problems: Encoding would fail if the user's system used regional settings in which comma is used as decimal separator
[fixed] Frame rate and frame size options not working for x264 codec
[fixed] Progress % in progress window was not accurate if only a part of the input file was selected for encoding
[updated] MediaInfo to v0.7.25

Download Update (2 MB) (http://www.fileden.com/files/2009/9/13/2574323/FFCoder%200.98%20Beta%20%28Update%20Only%29.7z)

[ivar]

Ops, didn`t know about the vfw option! Great that you also have implemented that. I was not able to use it by the way, as nothing happens when I press the "configure" button to select vfw codec... No small window is opened. I have now tried ffcoder on another computer I have, and I have the same problem with x264 there also. Also, the "crop video" window always hangs for me immediately and is never able to display the video.
Even more ideas:
-"stay on top" option for GUI (useful for drag n`drop files)
-use/show/specify frame number when setting duration in addition to time (maybe also use frames in "extract images")

[ajua]

Nice application. I'm just making my first tests with it but I've noticed some things:
With version 0.98 you still need to replace mediainfo.ddl with the x64 version if you are in 64-bit Windows.

1.- Every time FFCoder is started it creates C:\Converted folder even if you used other output folder and stored it on the config file.
2.- You can't remove files from the list using right-click because there isn't an entry for that en the context menu.
3.- If you use the profile for Xbox 360 you can't select Nero AAC Encoder as the audio encoder. Only gives you FACC.
4.- An option to use the system TEMP folder could be added.
5.- Everytime I tried to change container of MKV to MP4 for Xbox 360 (copy video and using Nero for audio) all the files failed with errors like this: [NULL @ 0x300f7b0]error, non monotone timestamps 6000 >= 3984

It also would be great to have batch jobs with different settings. I know that this is early Beta stages, tough...

Great encoder app you have done. Hopefully, it only will be getting better.

See this video. I don't know why its not working on your computer.

Also, the "crop video" window always hangs for me immediately and is never able to display the video.


Are you able to play videos using MPlayer on your PC? Drag a video file and drop it on mplayer.exe (in bin/mplayer folder). check if the video plays.


Even more ideas:
-"stay on top" option for GUI (useful for drag n`drop files)
-use/show/specify frame number when setting duration in addition to time (maybe also use frames in "extract images")

Stay on top option can be added. It is not possible to display frame number when setting duration since mplayer's seeking capability is not very good. It can seek only to the nearest keyframe.

In "extract images" also frames cannot be used. FFmpeg's seek is not accurate enough.

[teejee2008]

Nice application. I'm just making my first tests with it but I've noticed some things:
With version 0.98 you still need to replace mediainfo.ddl with the x64 version if you are in 64-bit Windows.


I am trying to detect if the OS is 64-bit on startup but the code is not working correctly. I'll find a way to fix this problem (maybe show a dialog on startup and ask the user if the OS is 64-bit)


1.- Every time FFCoder is started it creates C:\Converted folder even if you used other output folder and stored it on the config file.


I'll fix it.


2.- You can't remove files from the list using right-click because there isn't an entry for that en the context menu.


if you don't want to encode a file then simply uncheck it. There is not much use of removing individual files from the list so the option was not added.


3.- If you use the profile for Xbox 360 you can't select Nero AAC Encoder as the audio encoder. Only gives you FACC.


After loading the profile, select Automatic from the Encoder menu. Nero AAC will then be available. However this is not recommended since the file produced may not be playable on the device. Use it at your own risk.


4.- An option to use the system TEMP folder could be added.


All temp files are saved in <OutputFolder>/Temp and deleted after encoding. Some users may find these files useful. Using the system TEMP folder is risky since the data may get deleted even if the user wants to keep the files.


5.- Everytime I tried to change container of MKV to MP4 for Xbox 360 (copy video and using Nero for audio) all the files failed with errors like this: [NULL @ 0x300f7b0]error, non monotone timestamps 6000 >= 3984


Copying the audio/video track without re-encoding is problematic (see the Help file for known issues)


It also would be great to have batch jobs with different settings. I know that this is early Beta stages, tough...


I don't have any plans to implement this. I find these type of GUIs to be very confusing.


Great encoder app you have done. Hopefully, it only will be getting better.

Thank you. I don't have any more plans for this program. I have moved on to other projects and they are taking up most of my time. The upcoming FFCoder v1.0 will be declared stable (even though many problems are yet to be fixed). All future releases will be mostly for fixing bugs, updating encoders, and adapting to changes in the command line.

[ivar]

-I did exactly what you showed in the video, but I don`t see the small window that should appear after pressing "Configure codec".
-The crop is working now, don`t know why it didn`t work earlier...

[teejee2008]

@ivar

what OS do you have? is it 64-bit?

Is it possible to implement "target file size" for Average bitrate (two pass) encoding mode?

32 bit windows xp professional
I think I have net framework verision 2

Yes it can be done. I'll add the option in next version.

Thanks for your excellent contribution to the community. I'm testing out FFCoder using some TV series to put on my ipod. It's working like a charm! I love the easy profile access and directory support. It's perfect for this sort of thing.

Thanks again!

[ivar]

Why is not the Nero AAC encoder included in the installer? Are there some legal/copyright issues?

[Adub]

Yes, there are licensing issues. It's the same reason why Nero's AAC encoder is not included in MeGUI either.

Quick Feature Request:

Shutdown on queue completion. If you could add this it would be great.

Edit: Ah, never mind!! I see that you have already added that and then some.

Quick Bug Report:

When using the Ipod 5.5 Gen profile on a directory of videos, the resulting videos are not compatible with an iPod. I found out the hard way after converting a bunch of videos for a train ride and then not checking them before I got on the train. Oops. Won't make that mistake again.

[ivar]

New idea: drop a set of images in ffcoder and make a movie of them. Avisynth can do this easily with ImageSource. The images should preferably be sorted with natural sorting... Several "makemovieofimages" programs sort a set of serialized images so that you will get 1,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,2,20 etc...

All those presets were imported from XMediaRecode (http://www.freewarefiles.com/XMedia-Recode_program_47942.html), so there is no guarantee that they will work. Most of the presets should work. Some may give problems. If you find any more presets which don't work please inform me so that I can remove them.

thats a good idea. I'll try to add the option.

can you add a batch trim feature like the batch video file joiner. Preferably with an option to use the same trim settings for all the files in the batch. I want to remove credits from lot of files
right now i have to individually trim all my movies one by one.
Thank you

Some may give problems. If you find any more presets which don't work please inform me so that I can remove them.


Okay, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the info.

@MySchizoBuddy

I'll add it in next version.

@Rob2687

This program was not tested on Win7 x64. I'll try to find the problem.
i have the same problem, it wont work on 7 x64 :(

[ivar]

Would be cool to be able to specify avisynth commands in the gui, something like what you have implemented now with the "filters" menu

[teejee2008]

@ivar

I will be adding avisynth filters in the next version. It will look like this:

http://teejee2008.wordpress.com/files/2010/01/ffcoder_099_vf.jpg

Each item in the list is an Avisynth script that can be edited, by right-clicking on it.

I'm also changing the layout of the main window to make it more compact.

http://teejee2008.wordpress.com/files/2010/01/ffcoder_099_main2.jpg

[m110s]

It looks very promising!
Just solve nasty win7 x64 bug.

[ivar]

Nice!

[ivar]

Will it also be possible to specify custom avisynth commands? Say one wants to use a plugin not found in your list? You could make one filter named "custom" which one can edit to be whatever needed

[heraldo]

In v0.98.0.0, the slider for quality in the Theora Encoding box is doing the opposite of the description. Drag to the left for better quality and you will get smaller file.

Nice program, looking forward to future versions :)

[ivar]

a few more comments...
-ffcoder uses a relatively long time analyzing avisynth files when they are added (maybe not much to do about that)
-presets not up to date with newest x264 versions. For instance i get "x264 [error]: invalid argument b-pyramid = --partitions". New versions of x264 demand a value for b-pyramid. Maybe some other stuff has changed also
-maybe sort input files by name or size or date in the gui? Their order seem quite random now

FFCoder 0.99 Beta

This is my first attempt at adding Avisynth options to FFCoder. This version is likely to contain a lot of bugs. Please report all problems in this thread as soon as you find them. If you are having too many problems then either use a previous version or turn off the Avisynth option in the options window. It will take a few more versions before most of the bugs can be found and fixed.

Download FFCoder 0.99 Beta (24 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?lmokrhiijtj)

Changelog:

[fixed] Problems with matrix editor and font settings
[fixed] Slider labels in Theora's codec config window were wrongly placed
[fixed] Encoding fails with x264's b-pyramid option due to changes in x264's CLI
[fixed] FFmpeg encoding fails with files containing an audio track before the video track
[fixed] Getting the correct stream order from MedaInfo

[added] Thumbnail preview for video files
[added] Options for processing audio and video using Avisynth before encoding
[added] New option in preferences window for enabling/disabling all avisynth options
[added] New option in preferences window for selecting the source filters to use for opening audio/video files in Avisynth
[added] Right-click option to preview the Avisynth script before encoding
[added] Wavi will be used for piping audio from AVS files to encoders like LAME, OggEnc, etc (instead of using ffmpeg). As a result, encoding the audio from AVS files will be much faster now (almost twice as fast) but progress info will not be available during encoding.
[added] Media Player Classic for playing AVS files

[changed] Support for mencoder's and ffmpeg2theora's video filters have been dropped. They won't be needed any longer since Avisynth's filters can be used with any encoder.
[changed] New layput for main window.
[changed] A large number of minor cosmetic changes

[updated] x264 to r1416
[updated] ffmpeg to r21566
[updated] MediaInfo to v0.7.25

[teejee2008]

@ivar

All items in the filter list are editable. simply right-click any item and click 'Edit'.

It will take some time to analyze avisynth files because FFmpeg has to be executed in the background to get the info. In this version analysis will be more slow since thumbnails have to be generated for video files.

Thanks for reporting the x264 issue. I have updated the GUI.

@heraldo

Thanks for pointing out that mistake. It would have gone unnoticed otherwise.

Okay, so I've run into a problem.

I am using version: 0.99.0.0 BETA

I placed the NeroAacEnc.exe into the root of the bin folder.

When attempting to create a video with these settings:

Source video: .avs file (The AVS file works perfectly)

General
Complete name : F:\Fraps\_Unsorted Large\02-19-10\AVP Stuff 02-19-10.avs
Format : avs
Duration : 00:00:30.10

Video #0
Codec ID : rawvideo
Pixel format : yuv420p

Frame rate : 30 fps

Audio #0

Sampling rate : 48000 Hz

File Format: MP4 (*.mp4)
Video: H.264 (x264) - (Preset: x264_dp_DXVA-HD-Fast.xml, Mode: CRF (18))
Audio: AAC (nero) - (Encoding Mode: Quality (1.0), AAC Profile: LC)

Using those settings, I proceeded to create the file.

The video converts fine, but right as it hits 100%, it fails. I checked the log, and it has something to do with the audio part.

Help?

Also, this is another issue I'm having. When I choose "MEncoder" from the "Encoder" menu, I get an "Unhandled exception"

It says
Conversion from string "" to type 'Boolean' is not valid.

Full details: http://www.pastebin.com/f2a224cc8

Thanks,
-Neil

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have tried both decoding methods (From the preferences) (FFMpeg and AviSynth) Both result in a failed video.

[Neillithan]

I was able to solve the "Unhandled exception" error by updating Mencoder to the latest version.

As for solving my other problem, I tried updating several programs to their latest versions including Mp4box, NeroAacEnc.exe, AviSynth, and of course MEncoder did not fix the problem.

Perhaps this is a problem with FFmpeg?

-Neil

Edit: After closer inspection, FFcoder will convert the audio of an AVI file only if "FFmpeg" is selected as the default decoder in the preferences. However, it will fail on the audio no matter which decoder I use if the input video is an AviSynth script.

I tried forcing FFDShow to play uncompressed audio and that didn't affect anything.

[heraldo]

Encoding to Theora using FFCoder with the same parameters as when encoding to Theora with Handbrake, the files created by FFCoder are of considerably lower quality than the ones created by Handbrake. Is FFCoder using some outdated Theora encoder?

[ncatt]

Hi teejee2008, thanks for this great gui! I found a bug: the program fail if exist accented characters in the file name to be encoded. Ex. prêmio etc. I'm in Brazil and there are accented characters in many words.

[ivar]

Hi teejee2008, thanks for this great gui! I found a bug: the program fail if exist accented characters in the file name to be encoded. Ex. prêmio etc. I'm in Brazil and there are accented characters in many words.

The same is true for norwegian special characters (æ,ø,å), but I think this might be a problem with ffmpeg/mencoder or some of the underlying programs, and not FFCoder itself

[Ronin-7]

Nice program teejee2008 but I seem to be having the same problem same as Neillithan.

Here's my output log (http://pastebin.com/ytZWYUqL), the video encodes fine but it seems to fail on the audio.

At first I thought it was because I hadn't put the Nero AAC encoders in the right place but when I tried MP3 the same thing happened.

[archaeo]

Wanted to try out loading Avisynth script (with filters) into FFCoder as source.
Source is short m2ts file (47868KB).

Loading this avs script into FFCoder:
DirectShowSource("Y:\SAMPLE m2ts\00018.m2ts")
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD_TOOLS\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\masktools2\mt_masktools-25.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\DVD_TOOLS\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\r_grain\RemoveGrainS.dll")
LimitedSharpenFaster()

The resultant output video is fine, but audio is way out of sync. I've also tried other simple filters, with same audio result. When I load the m2ts straight into FFCoder, the audio is in sync. This only happens when loading source thru avs script.
Is this bug, or am I missing something?

thanks

[archaeo]

Another error in processing. Source file was 21.4 Gb, settings were set to 8000kb/s, one pass ABR. Final product ends up being 700MB - and it's not the complete film, it had been cut off. When I checked the temp file, it does contain the full encoded mp4 film (at 5.7Gb). For some reason, when it muxed the film after encoding, it didn't mux the entire file. This has happened twice. Once with settings at ABR one pass, and once when settings were CFR one pass.

on a side note, dont add new futures atm, just fix the problems ffcoder has instead, why? most of the time people want stable and simple software, not a bloated software that is unstable

btw, keep up the good work, i have donated and i still like FFCoder even when it has alot of problems the amazing GUI makes up for it :D

[Fidelix]

Awesome GUI man. Really.

Could you please give it the ability to merge soft subs when finished with mkvmerge?
Many thanx!

It is also failing with me in Win7 x64:

Hello, I have very interesting question indeed. Will FFcoder get vp8+vorbis.webm support as google announced 2 weeks ago new vp8 codec released as opensource. It is almoust as good as h264 and gives patent free HD video streaming for HTML5 <video> tag.

Here is the webm project:

http://www.webmproject.org/

Opensource world would be happy to get the first GUI encoder for webm format. Webm itself seems to be just matroska container made for streaming. since you support matroska, I could guess that you have the skill to do this.

Ps. I removed megui after I found FFcoder for theora ogv files. It does the x264 also into mkv + avs support with atlast the simple gui. Awesome tool indeed!

Trying to transcode a avi file using FFCoder Beta 0.99 that was encoded with the Lagarith Video Codec and wav audio on a machine running Windows 7 x64.

I installed all the required installations accept for Nero AAC (broken link) am I doing something wrong?

@trinsic
you are missing wavi.exe. download it from the following link and put it in the bin folder.
www.mediafire.com/?mo3wzgwyxlx

[teejee2008]

@Jeroi
I have plans to add webM encoding to FFCoder but it will take time since I'm busy with work these days. I will add it in the next version.

[teejee2008]

@Fidelix
You are missing wavi.exe.

[teejee2008]

@wiak
FFCoder has been tested only on 32bit XP and Vista. A lot of issues have been reported on 32&64bit Win7 and 64bit Vista. It is not possible for me to test the program on so many windows versions. So try to use it on 32bit XP and Vista for now.
I will try to fix the bugs but it will take time.

[teejee2008]

@Neillithan and @Ronin-7
You are both missing wavi.exe. Wavi.exe is not included with the setup. Please get it from the FFCoder homepage. It is required for processing audio from avs files.

[teejee2008]

@Archaeo
Since the audio and video are encoded separately and then muxed together it may be causing the sync problem. The muxing bug is very strange. I will look into it. Thanks for reporting the problem. Sorry for the late reply.

[bam632]

When you start a message - an error, the application will be closed. Microsoft.NET Framework v3.5 & v2.0 installed.

[MajorX]

nice GUI thanks teejee2008
can you add some filters like LimitedSharpenFaster+Soothe in video filter tab for anime encoding if possible!

i face some sync problem when re-encoding *.mkv file type.

[MajorX]

some of my videos have
Width : 720 pixels
Height : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 4:3
Original display aspect ratio : 3:2
Frame rate : 23.976 fps
FFCoder 0.99 encode these video perfectly but it use DAR 3:2 not 4:3 why?
and the sync problem always occure!

[Washka]

.NET is best for making GUIs!! Doing it in C will take 10 times more effort :)

Make it in assembler :)

[ivar]

Personally I prefer Qt, which is cross-platform

[ivar]

Are there any one else whos having trouble choosing vfw codec? I never get the pop-up window in the upper left corner when pressing configure in the vfw dialog... I use windows xp. Would be great if that couyld be fixed as there are a lot of useful vfw codecs, like lagarith & ffdshow...

[ivar]

Is there no one else who doesn`t find the vfw configure window?

[teejee2008]

@bam632

Please post a screenshot or details of the error message.

[teejee2008]

@MajorX

You can add the filter yourself. Right-click on the list -> Add New -> Edit

I'll be posting a detailed guide soon for using the avisynth options in ffcoder.

There was a problem with aspect in v0.99. It will be fixed in the next version.

The sync issue is a known problem. It is difficult to fix since the audio and video are encoded separately and then muxed together. You can try adding an audio delay using the audio filters list.

[teejee2008]

@Ivar

Give me some time. I'll be adding VirtualDub to FFCoder. Then you will have another option for VFW encoding.

[ivar]

Oh, my old friend virtualdub! Can`t go wrong with that! Still a lot of very useful vfw codecs around, like lagarith and the ffdshow collection :-) Did not know if you were still working on ffcoder, since busy with your new job. What are you working with by the way? Programming?

[teejee2008]

Yes it's an IT job. The current project assigned to me is very boring. There's very little programming involved. So I started working on FFcoder again. I'm working on it a few hours during weekends so development is going to be slow. I'll be adding vdub and WebM encoding very soon .

[m110s]

Please, don't forget to add "target file size" for Average bitrate (two pass) encoding mode.

[Jeroi]

Yes it's an IT job. The current project assigned to me is very boring. There's very little programming involved. So I started working on FFcoder again. I'm working on it a few hours during weekends so development is going to be slow. I'll be adding vdub and WebM encoding very soon .

Another good Idea is to make 64bit version of FFcoder. There is already avisynth64 and quite many filters for it and various codecs also supports 64bit... since you are implementing vdub so you could add also vdub64 and x264_64 for 64bit version to atleast support 3 main codecs (divx, xvid, x264).

[Jeroi]

Is this project dead?

[m110s]

Is this project dead?
No, It's not.
http://teejee2008.wordpress.com/ffcoder/
Scroll to bottom of page.

[teejee2008]

This project is very much alive.
Some highlights from the next version:

WebM encoding using FFmpeg & IVFEnc


Option for setting the target file size in 2 pass mode


Directory Watch - In this mode FFCoder runs in the background (in the system tray) with a low priority. It will monitor one or more folders for files of a particular type. As soon as a file is found it will pick it up and convert it automatically.


New and improved avisynth options. User will have full control over the script that is used for encoding the input file.


It will be finished by end of Feb (Hopefully)

@Jeroi

I currently have no plans to make a 64-bit version of FFCoder. It will be too much work for me. I have tested it only on 32-bit XP/Vista/Win7. There are still a number of issues with 64-bit windows.

[douyi]

Hi teejee,

Thanks for your great work! FFcoder is the best one combined batch processing with 2 pass x264 and easy use interface plus powerful conversion. The only issue I have now is the neroAAC when use in bit rate such as 64kbps, in the cmd script is "-br 64", but is it should be "-br 64000"? cause the result is only 12kbps which seems to be the minimum of neroAAC bit rate.

Now I disabled audio and convert it then mux them manually. Hopefully in your new version can fix this. Thanks.

[ivar]

Could you make an installer for ffcoder? You posted a link to one in this forum once, but the link doesn`t work anymore.

[JeremyWW]

Hi teejee,

Just wondered how it's going with the new version? Any ETA?

Thanks.

[teejee2008]

Released: 02-March-2011

Changes since v0.99


WebM encoding via FFmpeg
Target size encoding mode. It is available for all video codecs that supports 2pass encoding.
Directory watch for fully automated encoding. In this mode the program will monitor a set of pre-defined folders for files matching a filename pattern. Files will be automatically picked-up and encoded with pre-defined settings. The encoding will be done in the background with low-priority so that the user can continue with other tasks.
x264: Options updated, Fixed issues with 2pass encoding, Menu for x264's in-built presets
Avisynth: New and improved avisynth options
Avisynth: New editor with syntax highlighting, code folding, GScript support
Avisynth: Options for testing and comparing avisynth scripts
Better support for subtitles, SRT files can be embedded into MKV files using MKVMerge
Progress window: Improved layout
Progress window: New option for minimizing FFCoder to the system tray. FFCoder will run in a low-priority mode so that the user can continue doing other tasks while the files are being converted. User will be notified when the jobs are complete.
Progress window: Progress % will be displayed while encoding audio from AVS input files (it was not displayed in previous version)
Progress window: More info will be displayed while encoding
Audio/Video filters: Presets, options for no-upscaling and fit-to-box
Audio/Video filters: Warnings will be displayed if the codec supports limited frame sizes or frame rates

The next release will be in the first week of April. Please report all issues here or send me an email at teejeee2008 at gmail dot com.

Tried your e-mail but it bounced! Text from that below:

OK, I think I need some help here. Just installed and tested with all the defaults, trying to convert MP4 video with subs to MPEG2 - it fails immediately on every attempt. Haven't got a clue what to do now! Running on Win 7 Pro x64, so it installs in the Program Files(x86) folder - should work...??...unless incompatible with W7 x64 in some way. I realise it isn't a 64 bit app - not expecting that.

Thanks,
Jeremy

There were too many E's in the email ID :) My mail ID is teejee2008 at gmail dot com.
The MPEG2 issue is fixed. You can download the update from the link given below (500 KB):

http://www.mediafire.com/?pm4m1xc1rb389rd



Still fails... :(

Also, I was looking for an MPEG2 (.mpg) option which I don't see...

[teejee2008]

@JeremyWW
What is the error message that you are getting? Right-click on the file that failed, click on 'Encoder log' and send me the contents.

Instead of 'MPEG' there are now 3 options in the file format menu- MPEG-1, MPEG-2 PS and MPEG-2 TS. Select 'MPEG-1 PS'.

Sent you the log - I cannot see an option 'MPEG-1 PS'. In the converter I use at the moment, it offers 'MPEG-2 PS' but generates a .mpg file. So, I'm choosing 'MPEG-1 Systems (*.mpg)'

hi

thanks for the update but i can't convert to webm, tried 3 times with different files and settings, can you help? here's the log:

http://paste2.org/p/1277774

[teejee2008]

@ricardo.santos

FFmpeg exits with the following message:
"Invalid data found when processing input"

The issue is with the input file. Can you upload it somewhere? I'll take a look.

@JeremyWW

On the audio filters window, set the channel preset to 'Custom' and the number of channels to 'Auto'. The input file has 6 channel audio. FFmpeg is unable to convert it to 2 channels.

Don't know whether you saw my e-mail - that made no difference. Still fails almost immediately - zero byte mpg file created.

[teejee2008]

Please post the log again. This time its failing for some other reason.

Hi teejee, great program. Can you disable compression for mkvmerge by default ?

Thanks.

Download the update.

[eyudnn]

teejee, thanks for the quick turnaround. Would it be possible for an enhancement where I can queue another job while encoding is going on ? The new job can be paused.

Thanks.

[teejee2008]

@eyudnn

yes it possible. I'll add it in the next update.

[JeremyWW]

Please post the log again. This time its failing for some other reason.

Seems like it won't re-sample the 6 channel audio:

i just done a convert for my ipod & this is a fantastic program! it plays fine on my ipod great quality and sound,I've been trying to look for a program that will convert videos for my ipod now i finally found it & i get to pick the file size many thanks :)

[teejee2008]

Seems like it won't re-sample the 6 channel audio:


Try encoding with MEncoder. Select 'MEncoder' from the Encoder menu and set the file format to 'MPEG-PS'. Set the channels to 2 in the Audio Filters window. It should work.

@rko2164
I'm glad you found it useful :)

The Sony Bravia TV mpeg2 preset appears to be incorrect. It's selecting *.mp4 format and the x264 codec.

[JeremyWW]

MP4 movie above converts fine and has an original FPS of 23.976. Framerate preset is set to 'No Change'. Next movie, also MP4, fails with the log below. I managed to 'force' it to convert by setting the Framerate to 'DVD-NTSC'! Apart from the fact that 23.976 is the NTSC framerate -the same - why did the default work with one and not with the other?

@JeremyWW

For some reason, MEncoder is unable to encode input files with a fractional framerate when the output framerate is not set. I tried converting multiple files with framerates 23.97, 29.97, etc. All are failing. Only 25 fps files converts fine. I am seeing this issue with MEncoder for the first time. For the time being, set the output framerate manually. If the input file is 23.97 then set the output framerate to 23.97 or (24000/1001).

[teejee2008]

yes it's incorrect! Thanks for reporting it.

[JeremyWW]

I have to give up for the moment - unless you have any ideas: I have converted another MP4 which appeared to convert successfully - so no error log. However when I try to play the resulting .mpg file in WMP and VLC it freezes a few seconds in. Using another converter there was no problem. I don't get this one, other than we seem to have some sort of generic .mpg issue here.

EDIT: I persevered...after spending hours trawling the web for alternatives / info, I downloaded Avidemux and loaded the offending .mp4 file into it. I got a message straight back saying something about 'B-Frames' causing a problem with "crashing and stuttering"! So, I dimly remembered an option in 'Video' - 'Config' in FFCoder for 'B-Frames' and gave it a try. I have absolutely no idea what 'B-Frames' are but putting a tick in that box is enabling the video to convert as I write this. I'm able to play it back with VLC as it's converting and it plays smoothly. So, I have some sort of answer but no idea why! Can you pull this apart teejee?

[teejee2008]

@JeremyWW

Unless you can upload the MP4 file somewhere, I don't think I can help you. I tried converting a bunch of MP4 files to MPG to try and replicate the problem, but I was unsuccessful. The MP4 video you are converting contains BFrames, but it shouldn't lead to the problems that you are describing.

Send me the log file anyway. It may contain some useful info. Also send me the source.txt file from the Temp folder. (Right-click on the file in the progress window and click on "Open Temp Folder")

[verydoomed]

Can FFcoder except frameserved files?
I use debugmode plugin with SonyVegas and frame serve out an avi signpost file
I then make an avisynth script to point to this file
I then try and open the avisynth script with FFcoder so that I can encode the file with h264 but it doesnt work.
I can easily load the .avs file with Virtual Dub but would like to use FFcoder. Before I waste my time fiddling can anyone tell me if it's even possilbe?

[mysoogal]

to the developer of FFCODER, please add more presets

check my post here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=786095&page=157

or look into winFF presets, its the most complete ffmpeg presets ever it is very full

thanks for the FFCODER

Just wanted to ask if ASS subtitles can be embed or placed inside a mkv file (haven't managed to do it yet ) or do I have to convert them to srt. Downscaling a file and I just want to keep everything else.

And if the answer is no then what container should I use to insert in any way the ass subs.

p.s.: want to use x264 codec

[teejee2008]

@xdaft
It is possible to embed ASS subs in MKV files, but I have not yet added support for it. Currently only SRT subs are supported. I'll add it in the next update.

[xdaft]

Thank you :) It is not like I cannot convert ASS to SRT but I just wanted to know if it is possible in FFCoder.

[boot2k3]

Good program:thanks:, but how about video files with multiple audio tracks? If I encode file with multiple audio tracks with option "Copy audio" it just copy only one audio track.

[Neillithan]

@teejee2008

Hi. FFCoder is a great program, I have used it in the past and had varying success.

I noticed that when I pause a conversion process and then start it again, it causes the details to show an incorrect ETA and FPS. When I first started the conversion, ETA was around 1 hour and the FPS was ~18. Upon continuing the conversion, the FPS is now 3 and the ETA showed 8 hours and is decreasing rapidly. It's still converting fast because the Status percentage is rising at a consistent rate.

It would be cool if the detailed information did not show incorrect FPS and ETA after pausing the conversion for a length of time.

Also, I have a somewhat unheard of and possibly difficult to implement feature request. I find that pausing a conversion process has its benefits, but it doesn't necessarily free up the ram that is in use. While I have 8 gigs of memory, certain people may benefit from not having 1gig of memory tied up for the duration of the paused conversion.

Which leads me to the feature request: Can it be possible to save the conversation state to disk and continue at a later date? Sometimes I need to reboot my computer or I need to use it for some other purpose... a video conversion can take many hours depending on the video(s).

Thanks and let me know what you think,
-Neil

[teejee2008]

@boot2k3

Its already on my To-Do list but its low-priority. Adding support for multiple audio tracks will not be very easy since I will have to make a lot of changes - both in the GUI and in the back-end code.

[teejee2008]

@Neillithan

The ETA and FPS values are not calculated by FFCoder. It is directly picked up from the console output of the encoding program (ffmpeg.exe, x264.exe, etc). As a result the reported values will become incorrect if you pause it for long time. Nothing can be done about it.

The second feature is almost impossible to implement. In order to do this I will need a utility that can pause a process, save the process state to disk, and restart the process at a later date using the saved data. Such utilities exist for linux (http://cryopid.berlios.de/) but currently there are no such tools for windows.

[teejee2008]

The next version (v1.2) will be out on 1st May

[teejee2008]

Changes since v1.1.0.5

[New]
Option for encoding multiple input files into a single output file (Use the 'Add Combined' option in the File menu)
New window for trimming audio/video files. You seek to the nearest scene-change, and multiple segments can be selected for encoding.
Added MPUI (an MPlayer frontend) as the default audio/video player. Removed all other players in order to reduce the size of the download package.
New tool for correcting timestamps in SRT files. It will add a delay to the SRT file by modifying the timestamps.
Better support for DVD ripping (Use the 'Add DVD' option in the File menu). You can add multiple VOB files and they will be combined into a single output file. Indexing will be done using DGIndex.
Installer: Option for installing Avisynth
Installer: Option for deleting settings from previous version
Installer: Option for downloading NeroAAC codec
Avisynth: The source filter for opening the input file will be inserted automatically. It cannot be selected/modified by the user.

x264 options were updated.

[Fixes]
The performance counter throws an exception when encoding begins.
Adding FLAC files to the input list throws an error.
The video preview was not displayed in the crop window on some XP systems.
FFIndex files were not deleted on application exit even if the option is selected in the Options->Preferences window. Please note that FFCoder will remove only those ffindex files which it creates. Existing ffindex files will have to be removed manually.
The GUI sometimes hangs while indexing the input file. This will not happen anymore.
Setting the aspect ratio had no effect when ffmpeg was used as encoder. This issue has been fixed in the latest ffmpeg version.

[Updates]
Updated MPlayer to r33216
Updated FFMS2 to FFMS2-mt-r464
Updated FFmpeg to git-g3c20c0e (05/24/2011)

I really like the layout of the gui and the amount of options is great. Just one thing how do you resolve missing dependencies for FF coder.

When I went Help -> Dependencies it showed me faac and nero aac were missing but didn't allow me to input a path to the files. how do I update these file dependencies?

[teejee2008]

@flebber

Copy the EXE files for FAAC and NerAAC to the location where you installed FFCoder (C:\Program Files\FFCoder).
You can place the files in the BIN folder or directly in the application folder.
The files will be detected on start-up.

[StainlessS]

Clean & easy layout, nothing to confuse, and a supplied PDF
manual (that is really appreciated, although looks like I shall never
have to read it). Looks like I have a new preferred GUI .
Nice job.

FFCoder v1.2.0.5 Update (7z - 500 KB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?s30iqgq0glkb0fh)

Changes since v1.2.0.0
-------------------------------
Fixed: On 64-bit XP/Vista/Win7, FFCoder exits with an error as soon as encoding begins*
Fixed: Encoding MTS files with x264 can cause stuttering and interlacing lines**
Fixed: The Play/Pause button in the Trim window doesn't work with some file types
Fixed minor issues in the Trim and Crop windows

Notes:
-------------------------------
* FFCoder should now be usable on 64-bit XP/Vista/Win7
** Issue seems to be with the libavcodec/ffms2 decoder used by x264.exe. It cannot handle MTS files properly. Issue is partially fixed by decoding the video with FFmpeg and piping it to x264. Using the Avisynth mode will still cause problems. In the next version of FFCoder, DGAVCSource will be used (instead of FFmpegSource) for opening MTS/AVC files.

Hi !

Output : *.wmv with WMV8 and 2 pass → crash !
It's OK with 1 pass. I used version 1.2.0.0.

Hi!

Thanks for this really great software !
I have some audio related problem. Encoding the video to mp4 or avi, both with neroaaenc (mp4) and lame (mp3) in the normal sound appears in a regular pattern a strange noise like this (http://www.mediafire.com/?gd0t7smoq6c95h2). However in ape format for example everything is Ok. What could be the problem?
My OS is Win XP 32, SP3.

Thanks

[Mr901]

Any reason why ESET would detect proc_manager as a bad file?

Also i get this

http://bigpichost.com/files/1-afropuffsmkv_s_7ja7jl45.jpg

Updated to the latest version btw

[StainlessS]

Any reason why ESET would detect proc_manager as a bad file?

I'm fairly sure that ESET did not use the description "bad file",
might be more helpful in future to tell what it does say.

Judging purely by the name, it is a Process Manager,
(like eg Task Manager) which allows processes to be viewed and KILLED etc.

It is the likes of the Killing part that will be upsetting ESET, could
be included in a suite of dodgy stuff used by malware, it however
could also have useful purpose, Task Manager is not malware but
does pretty much the same thing.
No idea why FFCoder user this process manager, perhaps to
kill a runaway process that is not responding, or perhaps to
change the priority of a process so that it does not hog the CPU.

Anyway, have submitted the file to "VirusTotal.com" where
it was scanned by 42 anti-malware scanners, 4 of which had this
to say:-

DrWeb Tool.Killproc.3
NOD32 Win32/PrcView
nProtect Abuse-Worry/W32.PrcViewer.53248
TheHacker Aplicacion/Processor.20


They all look like there are just saying that it is a process
manager which is of course fairly obvious from the name alone.

Nothing to be concerned about. :)

EDIT: Nice picture, wonder what it is? Might be useful to elaborate.

[Mr901]

All of my post didnt go thru or i clicked away.
edit
When i try and encode with AVIsinth checked i add these
http://bigpichost.com/files/capture_z9pr1qm3.png

default settings it works, select what i need and i get a 2mb file and that type of video

sorry


EDIT: I dont get it on the portable version tho.

Is there a way to update the portable? i tried running the updater and it said it wasnt found.

EDIT: Okay even if i dont select any options on avisyth, but when its checked it doesnt work, i deselected everything including deinterlacing and it messes up

[StainlessS]

@Mr901,

"Is there a way to update the portable? "

I dont have the self install version. Suggest that you download and extract
the contents of the portable update. Replace the plugins/avss.dll
to the same place in the portable's directory and
same for the FFCoder.exe file.

[katzenjoghurt]

Is it possible to define a custom temp folder somewhere... not in the user directory?

Got a user name with a space in the middle and I GUESS (!) that this is the problem
why mp4box keeps giving me: "Requested URL is not valid or cannot be found".

[teejee2008]

@pihug12

WMV 2-pass encoding issue will be fixed in the next update

[teejee2008]

@katzenjoghurt

I don't think that is the issue. Please send me the error report (Right-click on the file in the progress window after it fails and select the 'Create Report' option).
I'll be putting an option for setting the path to the Temp folder in the next update.

[teejee2008]

proc_manager.exe is safe (as explained by StainlessS, Website -> //www.beyondlogic.org/solutions/processutil/processutil.htm)

FFCoder v1.2.0.6 Update (7z - 500 KB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?3h3174s2u39fql8)

Changes since v1.2.0.5

Added: Option for selecting Temp folder location
Fixed: The 'Preview' option in the Trim window was not working correctly
Fixed: Encoding with x264 without setting the output frame rate, resulted in the output videos having a frame rate of 25fps
Fixed: 2-pass encoding with FFmpeg fails
The 'Create Error Report' option in the progress window will be enabled even if the file was successfully encoded. Use this option when reporting problems with the output file (such as stuttering, bad quality, etc)

I second this - changing app name after it's been released makes only people confused and creates the impression of chaotic development behind it.

[CommonMortal]

Hello, congrats for your application.

I have a small GUI bug. I use Win7 with mediun (125%) fonts. In this case, there are some visual bugs. See as example last line here:

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/847/31663698.png/

I guess it is about DCT Decimation, but i can't read it really.

Also, in "Tune Film", AFAIK, psy trellis should be 0.15, not 0.2. It can be put manually, but i think it would be better if it was the default...


And a request please (unless i missed something). An auto-crop feature.

About the name, FFCoder is good i think. If you find another one, you should find something not too distant, because people will get disoriented. I will throw "FunCoder","FreeCoder","FluxCoder" just as example.


Thank you and keep up the great job.

[StainlessS]

I third it, name change BAD idea.

[teejee2008]

'FFCoder' somehow feels a little weird. I agree that changing the name will cause confusion for some people, which is why I haven't changed it till now.
Anyways...let it be...'FFCoder' will do for now :)

[teejee2008]

@CommonMortal
There is an auto-crop feature. Select the 'Use Avisynth' checkbox in the main window, go to the options and add the 'Borders | Remove Borders (AutoCrop)' script.
I'll fix the layout issue and the 'Tune Film' setting in the next update.

Oh thank you! I would never suspect that! And a feature request. Is it possible to create the report-log in real time? I use 2 pass encoding and i find useful the final ratefactor and SSIM at the end of the 1st pass to judge if the bitrate is enough. When i see that i didn't hit a good finalratefactor and SSIm i abord at the 1st pass and re-encode from start. With FFCoder i can only see a report at the end.

[anegroo]

I have a problem encoding to mp4 with H.264 and Nero AAC. This (http://www.mediafire.com/?jg26nxmar7u5jf3) is a sample from result. Both video and audio are bad, I don`t know why. (I run win XP SP3, fffcoder 1.2.0.6). Can somebody help me? I really liked this software but with the newer versions I can`t work.

[teejee2008]

@anegroo

I need to know what settings you used to encode the file.
Please send me the error report (Wait for the file to finish encoding, right-click on the file in the progress window and select the 'Create Report' option).

[TECK]

I get this error with 1.2.0.6 when I run a mkv/mp4 conversion on Win 7 x64 (preparing step):
[ERROR] Unable to open temporary AVS script!

Edit: I noticed that the error occurs when the file is larger that 4GB, no matter what is the type of container. This is what I did:
I created a 5GB MKV container with mkvmerge, based on a .mp4 video I have. Then, I splitted the new .mkv file in 2 parts, first at 10MB and the second with the rest of the movie. The first file encoded fine with the 2 pass HQ presets while the second one failed with the above error message.

Related to the name change, stick with FFCoder, is a great name. :)

[teejee2008]

@TECK

It looks like FFmpeg is unable to decode the DTS audio track in the 4GB mp4 file.
This is causing the encoding to fail.
If you disable the audio then the encoding should work fine.

I'll fix the issue with DTS audio in the next update.

Hi folks,

I plan to try using the Portable version 1.2 ... I have downloaded the latest NEROAACCodec 1.51 ... once I unzip it ...

Q1: Where do I place it in? Which folder under FFCoder?

Q2: And would I plug in the Entire NEROAACCodec folder or just parts of it?

Thanks,

G!:)

[JEskandari]

well in 1.20.6 using NeroAAC as audio encoder result in failure
while I convert files no matter how long the size of the file is

[gonwk]

Hi JEskandari,

What about if you use the Older version of the FFCoder ... does that work!?!?

@ JEskandari ... Thanks for replying back.

G! :)

[colargol7]

Hi
This is a really great tool, thanks for the work :)

However, I don't manage to use decimal values in x264 CRF or xvid quantizer...
eg: if I put 18.4, this is rounded to 18
Is this normal? :confused:

[StainlessS]

Feature request.

Would love to be able to select bitrate by "Bits Per Pixel", with perhaps a cap on maximum
bitrate, so allowing to keep a standard bitrate per pixel and not having to bother getting
the calculator out to figure it out myself. I know CRF is constantly being given as the
preferable mode, but no amount of telling me is gonna make me want the BPP any less.

Ta very much. :)

FFCoder v1.3.0.0

Released: 2011-08-20

Links:

FFCoder v1.3.0.0 (Installer - 36 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?hsf63mequou9it5)
FFCoder v1.3.0.0 (Portable 7zip - 36 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?s47dvmb6e4ruaz0)

Changes since v1.2.0.6


The 'Add DVD' option in the File menu has been simplified. Now only the VIDEO_TS folder needs to be selected.
Fixed the window layout for systems with large font sizes. Some of the controls were cut-off or hidden from view.
The encoder log can be opened even while the file is being encoded (Double-click or use the right-click menu).
x264: Corrected psy-trellis option to 0.15 for "Tune Film"
Fractional quantizer values can be selected for all video codecs
Files can be dragged on the 'Add Combined' window
MTS files will be opened with DGAVC in Avisynth mode. This will eliminate stuttering/corruption issues when MTS files are encoded in Avisynth mode.
Fix: Encoding WAV files to FLAC fails
Fix: The installer fails to download NeroAAC codec during setup
Multiple instances of FFCoder can now be run at the same time
Fix: Selecting the 'Shutdown' option (for shutting down the PC after encoding), doesn't work properly in Vista/Win7 due to UAC prompts. Windows commands will be used for shutdown/reboot instead of using NirCmd. Nircmd has been removed from the package.
MPlayer has been replaced with MPlayer2 from http://www.mplayer2.org/
Updated x264 to r2057
Updated FFmpeg to r31572 (2011-07-20)
Updated MPlayer to MPlayer2 (2011-08-17)
Updated MEncoder to r33883 (2011-07-20)
Updated MediaInfo to v0.7.48
Updated MP4Box to v0.4.6 rev2735 (2011-03-02)
Updated FFmpeg2theora to v0.28


Notes:

MPlayer2 will rebuild its font cache when you run it for the first time. It takes about a minute, but it will cause FFCoder to stop responding while the cache is being rebuilt. To avoid problems please do the following (you need to do this only once):

Add a video file in the main window
Right-click on it and select the 'Play File' option.
Wait for about 2 minutes for the cache to be rebuilt (till the video starts playing)

Produces 2MB encodes when ripping a bluray with settings for 4000KBps.
I used it on a a 64bit Windows 7.
Some error I think.
For any configuration, it's the 2MB output and is it because 64bit?

[teejee2008]

@meshaun

I need the job report to find out what the problem is. After the file is encoded, right-click on the file and select the 'Create Report' option.

[teejee2008]

@locotus

It looks like there is an error in the AVS script that was created for encoding the DVD. After adding the DVD, right-click on the file and select the 'Play File' option. This will display the error message.

The DVD encoding options provided by FFCoder are very simple. It encodes only the first audio track in the DVD. I'll be adding more options later.

FFCoder v1.3.0.1 (Portable 7zip - 36 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?81yfna24sxvd4ln)

Changes since v1.3.0.0

MPlayer2 is unable to play AVS files. So had to replace it with an older version of mplayer.
If you installed the previous version then you can download the MPlayer build from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?8r65vlounj2l529) and place it in bin/mplayer
There are no other changes.

Please fix FFCoder v .1.3.0.1. I have big problems with my firewall Zonealarm Pro 9.3, because everytime I try to start new encode, Zonealarm tells me that process " proc_manager " is malicious and he automaticely closes application.

But I don't want to stop using Zonealarm while I encode my videos via FFCoder. Please find a solution for this. Thank you !

[meshaun]

I've emailed you the report.
But got no reply or status.
how did you go with the error of that 2MB output's?

I don't use Zonealarm pro 9.3, but can you add it to exceptions list? Most firewall software have customizable options


Also, did you download it from a legit link? If not, then maybe there is some real malware threat. Try downloading from the link above or the author's homepage

[teejee2008]

@Romario

You can either add a firewall exception or you can delete proc_manager.exe from FFCoder's bin folder. The pause/resume button in the progress window will stop working. It won't affect anything else.

It looks like the selected bitrate is too low. Try increasing the bitrate or the buffer size.

Also, did you download it from a legit link? If not, then maybe there is some real malware threat. Try downloading from the link above or the author's homepage

Proc_manager is a process manager, just like TaskManager
(CTRL SHIFT Esc). Just like TaskManager, Proc_manager can
eg change task priorities, kill a task etc. It is the killing part,
that will be upsetting ZA, but Proc_manager is no more malware
than Taskmanager. It might be worrying if you found an unexplained
copy of proc_manager on your machine, but really, it's just
a tool that could be exploited by the nefarious, just like
a butter knife could be used for murder.

[Romario]

@Romario

You can either add a firewall exception or you can delete proc_manager.exe from FFCoder's bin folder. The pause/resume button in the progress window will stop working. It won't affect anything else.

Ok, I will try that, thank you.

Yes, I downloaded FFCoder from legit link, above.

[twazerty]

I am unable to use your application because the temp folder setting won't be saved. My temp folder is only couple of GB big. If I set it and change it, during the conversion the old temp folder is used. Won't be saved either after running FFCoder as admin.

Installed 1.3.0.1 but About says 1.3.0.0 BETA.
Windows 7 64 bit

When I tested it with a small sample the result was good so now I want to test it with a big DVB-S2 Recording. Many application struggle with the files I have, out of sync or unable to read, even the software that is delivered with my TV card can't open the files :cool:

[JEskandari]

hello
I have a question . If my source have embedded SRT or ASS subtitle is it a way to
made FFCoder to embed that sub encoded new file ?
and also is there a way to make FFCoder copy chapters from the source MKV file into
the result files ?
what about tags ?

[meshaun]

@TEEJEE
you mean 4000 as a bitrate is low?
how come we can encode @ 11MB for a single music video :D :D

Any solution?

[locotus]

Sorry for the late answer teejee2008, down here
has some problem with Hurricane Irene. Here's the error message:

[teejee2008]

@meshaun

Change the Initial Buffer Size to 90 and try again

[teejee2008]

@locotus

Some DLL files were not included in the setup. Please download the update given below. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[teejee2008]

@JEskandari

Copying subs from source to output can be done if the output is MKV or MP4. Its on my To-Do list.
Copying chapters and tags from source is not very easy. I'll have to look into it.

[teejee2008]

@twazerty

I was unable to reproduce the issue with the temp folder :(
I'm looking into it. I'll let you know if I find anything.

FFCoder v1.3.0.3 Update (Portable 7zip - 7 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?s5d799takpb2pvr)

Changes since v1.3.0.0


Some DLL files were missing in the Setup package
-- js32.dll (Required by MP4Box)
-- DGAVCDecode.dll, libavcodec.dll (Required for encoding MTS/M2T/M2TS files using Avisynth mode)
When a VOB file was added (in AVS mode), the video was automatically cropped and deinterlaced. This will not be done anymore. Cropping and deinterlacing must be done explicitly by setting filters.
The provided x264 presets were loaded incorrectly. The Initial Buffer Size for 2-pass encoding was set to 0.9% instead of 90%. This was causing some 2-pass encodings to fail. This issue is fixed.
MPlayer2 does not support playback of Avisynth files. As a result the video preview was not working in the 'Trim' window. Mplayer2 has been replaced with an older MPlayer version which can play Avisynth files.

[meshaun]

@ TG,
didn't work man.
all the same.

thanks for the replay
by the way I believe it's possible to copy chapters in MKV files with
the help ofہ MKVMerge GUI but how that program do it I don't know

@twazerty

I was unable to reproduce the issue with the temp folder :(
I'm looking into it. I'll let you know if I find anything.

I found the "problem". I assumed that I could past/edit the folder path in the textfield because it was editable. When I used the browse button to choose the folder it worked.

So either disable editing of the textfield or fix it so you can also type the path in the textfield.

[teejee2008]

@twazerty

Thanks for finding the issue. I'll fix it.

[teejee2008]

@meshaun

I am not able to reproduce the issue on my PC. I tried encoding from many BluRay/MKV sources with the same settings but I am not getting the same error.

Things to try:
-- Try using an older version of x264 from here (http://www.mediafire.com/?y7kiows9a4lnl6l)
-- Try setting the maxrate and buffer size options to 0 (not set)
-- You can also post the issue in this forum (create a new thread). The x264 command line settings are given in the encoder log.

Is this happening for all 2-pass x264 encodes? Try encoding a simple (non-bluray, low bitrate) file and let me know if it fails.

[meshaun]

@TG,
I tried those,
didn't work
the same output man :(

[god_md5]

i have some flv video is in Sorenson Spark format ,only
you software is work ,other like ripbot264 is not work.
only the flv input framerate is wrong,23fps input is 23.98..
i use windows7 x64

[chrislynch]

I get this error with 1.2.0.6 when I run a mkv/mp4 conversion on Win 7 x64 (preparing step):
[ERROR] Unable to open temporary AVS script!

Edit: I noticed that the error occurs when the file is larger that 4GB, no matter what is the type of container. This is what I did:
I created a 5GB MKV container with mkvmerge, based on a .mp4 video I have. Then, I splitted the new .mkv file in 2 parts, first at 10MB and the second with the rest of the movie. The first file encoded fine with the 2 pass HQ presets while the second one failed with the above error message.

Related to the name change, stick with FFCoder, is a great name. :)

@TECK

It looks like FFmpeg is unable to decode the DTS audio track in the 4GB mp4 file.
This is causing the encoding to fail.
If you disable the audio then the encoding should work fine.

I'll fix the issue with DTS audio in the next update.

So I am using 1.3.0.3 on a Windows 7 SP1 64bit system, and still get the error reported by TECK. Here is the output of MediaInfo:

sourceExt = "avi"
sourceFPS = 25
sourceIsInterlaced = False

sourceHasOnlyVideo = False
sourceAudioTracks = 1

I also added a Deinterlace-script, and using Compare, it shows scanlines in both original and filtered.

[wiak]

what about using DGMPGDec/DGAVCIndex to demux audio from .ts/m2ts files? and then use mkvmerge to mux then back?

and a future request
interlace detector like megui has, it will be useful to get correct method for deinterlacing content and togheter with avisynth, ffcoder will then be a good alternative to megui

Hi folks,

Happy New Year to Teejee2008 & Doom9 Team and Community.

Teejee, FYI ... I tried to do a sample conversion from AVI to MKV, just for practice, using FFCoder 1.3.0.3 and the coder goes thru it's motion and then it says conversion Failed.

So, then I try FFCoder 1.2.0.6 and it works like a charm. No problem!

Thanks!

G!:)

[klode]

Dear TeeJee2008, FFCoder is a greatful software for my use.

So, I have the same error as Teck and chrislync...
"Unable to load AVS Script".

Now, I'll paste here the error report with an MKV with ONLY the video track (The error is for a stop error of the program with debug screen):

If I load an MKV with DTS Audio and trying to convert it disabling the audio I get the error "Unable to load temporary AVS Script".

Oh yes, I have W7 64 Bit, Comodo Firewall and Avira Free 2012.

Thanks so much!

[teejee2008]

All those people who are getting the "Unable to load AVS Script" error - Please un-check the 'Use Avisynth' option in the main window.
There are some Avisynth-related issues in this version. They will be fixed soon.

[klode]

If I try to load an MKV greather than 4 Gb (even if with DTS or AC3 sound tracks), I get the error : "Unable to load temporary AVS Script", with the "Use Avisynth" un-checked.

Ah, another question: is possible to set different target size for each file in the list?

Thanks.

[klode]

Hi,
if I try to convert an AVS Script into FFCoder (then not with "Use AVISynth"), and then I set a target size of 4010MB, I get this error:

how to encode vfr video with FFCoder if i want the result frame same as source file without changing frame (so i can use timecodes from source without any double/deleted frame)? changefps make the video with high movement looks bad.
i tried adding video normally and i tried also with making manual .avs script then drop it to ffcoder, but the result file (encoded) give me crf video and ofc the frame changed although in avs script i devine assumefps(xx).

is there any methode so i can use assumefps in ffcoder?.
ps: sorry for my horrible language.


edit:
nevermind, i found it.
my eyes is just sick lol.

In Rate Control -> Bitrate Tolerance=1.0

What does it mean?
I checked the FFmpeg docs, it explains this is "in bits", default=4000k, so 1.0 seems not reasonable... please help, thanks.

‘-bt tolerance’
Set video bitrate tolerance (in bits, default 4000k). Has a minimum value of: (target_bitrate/target_framerate). In 1-pass mode, bitrate tolerance specifies how far ratecontrol is willing to deviate from the target average bitrate value. This is not related to min/max bitrate. Lowering tolerance too much has an adverse effect on quality.

FFCoder is great, but I can't configure WFV codec, because settings window doesn't appear.
The avs2avi tool doesn't work on some windows systems. If the tool is not working then you will not get the pop-up window for selecting the VFW codec.
So there is no chance?

[masster64]

although it seems the author didn't visit this forum for quite a while, I try my luck and post a bug.

I have a DVD ISO image, I mounted it with UltraISO, it plays well with any video player, so now I want to convert the DVD to Xvid AVI.

I go to File/Add DVD then point to VIDEO_TS folder (FFCoder doesn't like to point to DVD root, it says there are no VOB files).

FFCoder says "Checking VOB files..." then "Preparing..." then "Indexing.. x% done" up to 100% done, then "Reading media properties..." when it fails miserably with a Status Log message window saying:

File: C:\Documents and Settings\masster\Local Settings\Temp\ffcoder_temp\2012-53-21 03-53-40\040605578\NewDVD_040605578.avs
Format is not supported!
MediaInfo & FFmpeg were unable to detect any audio/video streams!
File will not be added to the list.

Why is that?

FFcoder is using a very long time to index large files (for instance raw bluray-rips). Is this indexing necessary for regular compression, or is it mainly used for frame accuracy when editing/cutting? Could it be an option in FFcoder to enable/disable this indexing?

[wiak]

would be nice if it supported chapters and titles, it will become sweet to use on tv shows dvds :)

and support for windows 7 64-bit realy needs to improve, as there are more poeple using this os than xp

It varies from 0.0 to 1.0. The kb/s value will be calculated from the bitrate value that has been set.

This is necessary for frame accuracy and is required to preview the edited video. It will take a long time if the files are large. It can't be avoided.

There are no plans to add support for chapters and titles and for 64-bit support. There are many other programs available which are more suited for encoding DVDs and with proper support for chapters and subtitles.

New version available: v2.0 BETA (2013-02-09)
New Website: TeeJeeTech (http://teejeetech.blogspot.in/p/ffcoder.html)
Download: MediaFire (37 MB) (http://www.mediafire.com/?89zolyqq9b9bd)

Whats New:
--------------------

* Support has been dropped for the following encoders: LibFAAC, MEncoder, AVs2Avi

* Encoder selection has been removed. Automatic encoder selection will be used by default.

* x264 options updated:
- Default value for MinQ and MaxQ changed to 0 and 69 (previously 10 and 51)
- SubME limit updated to 11 (previously 10)
- Default value for Minimum KeyFrame interval set to 0 (auto) (previously 25)
- Default options will not be specified on the command-line in order to improve readabilty

* Fixed some avisynth-related encoding issues

* Better subtitle support - SRT/SUP/ASS/SSA/USF/IDX files can be embedded in MKV videos. SRT files can be embedded in OGV videos. The subtitle file must be placed in the same folder as the input file.

* Delayed indexing - The 'Please wait..indexing file' window will not be displayed when adding files. Indexing will be delayed till actually needed (when encoding starts). Indexing will not be done if you are not using AVS mode.

* Index files will be deleted when the application exits.

* Track compression is set to 'None' for MKV files for better device compatibility.

* Add option to disable audio when creating OGV files

* Fixed: Disable prompt for installing Haali Media Splitter on startup

* Fixed: VP8 settings were not saved

* Encoders updated: x264, ffmpeg, ffmpeg2theora

* Bugfixes

Why is that?

There are issues with the AVS script that was generated for encoding the DVD files. The script is there in:
C:\Documents and Settings\masster\Local Settings\Temp\ffcoder_temp\2012-53-21 03-53-40\040605578\NewDVD_040605578.avs

If you can fix the script and add it to the main window then it will work.

@All

This application is no longer being actively developed. I had made this program very long ago when I was still using Windows and had need of an application to convert my video collection to other formats. I have moved on to other things since then and it has become impossible for me to find time to work on this program. Many good programs are available these days for converting videos and if you look around on Doom9 and other sites, I'm sure that you will find something that meets your needs.

This release contains all changes that I made to this program over the last 1 year. The code was lying around on my PC for a long time and I thought I should release it. I am not planning to add any more new features but I will be updating it once in a while for fixing bugs and maintenance.

Thanks for answering my request for support for 10-bit on 02/12/2013. It was the least I could do in return.

It varies from 0.0 to 1.0. The kb/s value will be calculated from the bitrate value that has been set.

But the 'bt' (bitrate tolerance) option should be removed from libx264 interface already, check this:

Nice program, :)but using the latest portable version I get the error message when loading iso images of DVD only "ffmsindex.exe -Application Error" and something about "The memory could not be written."
Pressing ok to terminate the program then loads the iso image of video okay.

My system is 32 bit XP pro Intel celeron 2ghz 3mb ram. Thanks.

Bug? I have Haali splitter installed in my XP system anyway as part of a codec pack but using the portable version of Vidcoder a warning pops up sometimes that this program is not installed. Can't see it in the plugin dependencies so this must be the reason, but does Vidcoder need it to function?
