YOU NEED FIRST SELECT THE PATH OF THE EXTERNAL APPLICATION THEN RESTART AUTODUB (for create the .ini file)

You can mail me at : darkcracker@caramail.com (for comments or request or if you find bugs)

I did compression using version 1.3. I used Xvid codek and 2-pass encoding. Everything was ok but I wanted do both passes with fast-recompress, but only first was done using this option , second with full processing mode. So it was much more slower. Why it happens?

[Dark-Cracker]

starnge perhaps the encode priority have fail and it for that i think the second pass take much time, i have check a the fast or full processing bug but i don't have found , to be sure just open edit the c:\jobpass1.vcf (first pass script) and c:\jobpass2.vcf (second pass script) with the notepad and verifie this :

VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(1); <=== is fast processing.

or :

VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(3); <=== is full processing.

Ps: do you have tested the Divx3 option ? or u don't use the SBC encoding ? do you have find bugs ?

[roy]

In jobpass1.vcf and jobpass2.vcf I have VirtualDub.audio.SetMode(1);, but the second encoding was done in full processing mode. I'm sure.

[Dark-Cracker]

yes you are right i have found the bug i have do a mistake in the creation of the .vcf file for the Xvid second pass it use :

VirtualDub.audio.SetMode
instead of
VirtualDub.video.SetMode

the bug is fixed, download again Autodub v1.3

thank for finding this bug. Bye

Ps: post if this fixed version solve you problems.

[Tester]

Unfortunately, I can't tell you if the program is good or not (but I think it's great:D ), because I can't start it. When I click on Autodub.exe, an error message appears with no content...

I've winxp...

Or do I have to install all the codecs first???


thanks in advance

Robert

[yosemite]

I've the same prob and the same OS --> XP!

what's wrong?

[roy]

I want to use this programm in Windows 98 but I can't. When I try to start it I got mesage "the language DLL MSDMO.DLL could not be found". I have installed VB6SP5 but still the same. What's wrong?

[Kb_cruncher]

i also run XP and get an error message about COMCLT32.OCX.i have come across this problem before and needed a specific version of the file to fix it.is this so in autodub's case?

[Kb_cruncher]

i also run XP and get an error message about COMCLT32.OCX.i have come across this problem before and needed a specific version of the file to fix it.is this so in autodub's case?

[Dark-Cracker]

i fact the problem is that visual basic need a lot of dll, i have do a bundle version (with a setup) who install all the dll file needed, here is the link test it and post a msg to know if this have solve your problems.

http://membres.lycos.fr/darkangel47/Autodub1.3Bundle.zip

[Dark-Cracker]

PS: think to post the exact msg error , this will help me to solve the problem.

[Kb_cruncher]

i downloaded the latest version of COMCTL32.OCX and the latest vb6.
solved the first error but know i get"failed to load control'slider'from comctl32.ocx,your version of the file maybe out dated"but htese files are the latest i can get.
will try your bundle and let you know.

[wing1]

Is there a possibility to add wav audio encoding or mp3 transcoding to this application? Also the possibility to correct a/v sync correction as well?

[VorteX]

i have download the latest visual basic sp5 installer from Microsoft site and installed it ok. When i run AutoDub.exe i get error message "Component 'TABL32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registerd: a file is missing ot invalid" i've removed and reinstalled Vb6 and it still not working.

i am using Windows XP too

[VorteX]

ok i've just downlaod the bundle 3 times now but the installer is not working just after selecting directory when i click on the Computer Icon to continue install i get the error msg

Type Mismatch
une erreur d'installation inattendue s'est produite

i dont know what it means.

[Obsolete]

If you're getting the TABCTL32 error I found tabctl32.ocx here:

ftp://taurus.bmtmicro.net/vgaplanets/v4/tabctl32.ocx

you'll also need REGSEVER32: ftp://taurus.bmtmicro.net/vgaplanets/v4/regsvr32.exe

Put tabctl32.ocx in any directory then drag and drop it onto regsvr32.exe. If you move tabctl32.ocx to somewhere else on you H.D. you'll get an error unless you repeat the step above.

Autodub seems to work okay now.

[Dark-Cracker]

wait few day i work on a full bundle version with all the .ocx needed.

@Kb_cruncher
the new version will use the new comctl32.ocx.

@wing1
wait i am finish well the video part and the audio part will be improved soon.

@vortex
does the 'obsolete' solution has solve your problem ?

Thank u all for testing my prog i hope in a few day the missing file problem will be solved.Stay Tuned. :)

[VorteX]

Obsolete method worked for that file but now i got same error but this time for COMCTL32.OCX

[digi-rip]

Memory Error .... mmm



would be a grate option disable sound procesing .....



I am using XP too ...
Divx5.1

[oddball]

This prog is great!

Couple of things I would like to see though.

Inbuilt bitrate calculator.

Better audio encode options like Lame --preset-alt standard or equivalent BeSweet command for 2 CD audio. 128 is too low.

May as well throw in a crop and resize function.

Ability to adjust some of the common Avisynth options without having to manually edit the .AVS file (This is why an inbuilt crop and resize tool would be neat). Decomb is another must ;)

That will do for now :)

[oddball]

Actually come to think of it. All that is needed is for DVD2AVI to be able to do most of thse (Which they are working on) and we won't need VirtualDub and probably not Autodub either. Still a neat tool for the time being though ;)

[Dark-Cracker]

for the memory option i think u don't have choose the external application path.

be sure that in the input tab u have click on the "change application path" button and u have select the right path for Nandub/virtualdub/Besweet.

Ps: if you don't select an audio file u can however encode the video.

test this and post if this have resolve your problem.

[guirlle]

I had the same problem with the tabctl32.ocx in XP Pro and I search in my hard drive...I had this archive in the W98 partition in
\Windows\System...just copied it in the same directory and all works fine...

The program Works fine (perfect) to me encoding in XP Pro with DivX Pro 5.1 2-passes and VBR....Can I sujest a job list?.

Thanks for the program...I´m waiting the next version.

[Dark-Cracker]

thank u very much,

i will wait to be sure all the bugs has disapear before starting me in the job list. but i think this option will come in a future release :-) stay tuned ...

[Dark-Cracker]

for those who have some problems with missing file , there is a new version of the VB runtime with all the ocx and dll file needed, u can download this version on the site web :

www.dark-angel.does.it
or the direct link :

http://membres.lycos.fr/darkangel47/setupvb6.zip

this will fix the "no message error".

Ps: if you have an "out of memory" error msg it because u have forget to select the external application path. (the button is in the input tab).

i hope this will help you to solve the last problems with these missing file.

[Kb_cruncher]

to bypass the "type mismatch"error i just extracted the files from the cab and copied all the system files to the system directory.works fine now.

a big thanks dark-cracker for a great program.

[wing1]

I forgot to say thanks for the application :D before requesting more options.

[Dark-Cracker]

ok happy to see this have solve your problems, think to post bugreport, resquest or the resultult of your test in this thread, this will help me to improve my tool.

bye.

[MaXiMuS]

autodub 1.2 is veri nice did about 10 backups using 3 pass Divx 4.12, Always hits target size
autodub 1.3 (i realy like design)
i don`t like audio max 128 kbps, maybe you can change that, especialy when backing up music titles i want high quality mp3 audio....
Also i have idea about codecs....
* make codecs internal to autodub like in famous Fair Use (no problem what user have which codec version installed)

tonite ill do some testing ...

[Dark-Cracker]

in the next release of autodub (v1.4) i will normaly add a detection of the length of the input source file , in order to add the possibility to have an auto-bitratecalculator i will increase too the max bitrate for the audio, and perhaps too add some genreical profil for 1cd or 2cd whatever the codec u choose.

normaly the release will come with an codecpack (made by eclipsedvd) with all the codec needed.

i am already working on a guide with the codec parameters explained.

Thank u for writting this post, and for testing my tool too.Bye

@dark-cracker

Hi i seems to hv problem with mp3 vbr, when i check for vbr option, the auido is not processed(no transcoding, conversion etc) i see the cmd window flashes and quits. But it works ok with cbr or abr
option checked. Dont know what the problem is. Otherwise the final avi is ok.. no sync probs :).

cj:p

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

be sure u have the besweet v1.3 (because it use preset settings)
else open the besweet log (in c:\ autodub-stream1.log) and u will see the error that besweet have report.

post a msg if this have solve your problem.

bye

2. When encoded with xvid(2/5/02) latest build, i get the following error for both 1st and 2nd pass :
"function type required" from Vdub. I followed the guide of doom9
for xvid options.

Looks like Temp/avi destination must be on same partition ......

[cjaar]

@dC

any solution for this error !!!!
Error 47: Error with LAME dll!

cj :(

[Duplex]

Hi and thanks for this great tool.

It works fine for me on my Windows 2000, but a friend of mine has a strange problem:

when he starts Autodub, a message box is appearing saying nothing
yes, nothing, there is only the white "X" on a red circle like in any other Error message, but the message itsself is missing....

The same happened after he installed the VB6 Runtime environment....

Any ideas?

almost forgot: HE is running WinME.

thx, Duplex

[Dark-Cracker]

for the msg error with only a red cross i think it must install the dll+ocx pack in my site this will solve the problem.
(i have updated the dllpack in fact if you have this error it because u dont have the comctl32.ocx file on your computer).

test and say me if this have solve the problem.

for the lame error i think u have perhaps install the modified lame dll in the v1.3 update i will try to find why u have this error.

[cjaar]

@ DC..

No ihvn't used any modified lame, ofcource i see something like no-linear lame ver, whcih i never used.

cj

[Dark-Cracker]

i think there is perhaps an error in the 128 kbts VBR lame comand line, try to encode your audio file with an ABR or CBR mode, i will check if the comand line line is correct,

but u can try to update your version of besweet with the v1.3RC this will perhaps solve your problems.

bye.

[oddball]

The Autodub webpage is dead.

[Dark-Cracker]

yes multimania have close my account because there is too much download.

the new URL it : www.dark-angel.does.it

[MaXiMuS]

can`t wait to see new version ...

no i am not pushin` you,

i would like to know when the new version version will be out ...

AUTODUB 3 pass DivX 4.12 support rox! :)

[Dark-Cracker]

i am working on the new release but i have already to pass some test (i am still a student :) ) but the new release will be out in 1 or 2 week.

the new release will normaly add an auto-bitratecalculator, the split , the delete of the temp file and normaly an AVscreator for the possibility to encode separetely the endcredits.

bye :)

[de66ka]

Hi,
I think your program is very useful an I like it to use. But one thing I think is wrong. I'm using win xp professional for encoding and with your "shutdown-option" after encoding my computer doesn`t "power-off".
Windows shows only the screen "it´s now safe to....." and I had to turn off the comuter manually using the power-switch.
But, if I press the "turn off computer" button in windows, the computer "powers off" correctly.
I hope you`ll fix this bug (or is this no bug?).

Axel

[Dark-Cracker]

i have install winXP today (my old Win98 have definitively crash :) )
i will test the shutdow option an try to correct the bug :) bye.

[MaXiMuS]

Probably Dumb question :

i always use Divx 4.12 (3 Pass) i set DESIRED SIZE to 695 mb and usualy that is what i get ....

but i can not set DESIRED SIZE in DivX 3 / 5 / XVID there is not field for that ...

can u explain that ....


p.s.

yes i can use some kind of bitrate calc bat that is not very precise
in gknot old/new version Divx 3,4,5.02 i always hit desired size.

[ookzDVD]

@Dark- Cracker,

My wishlist :

1. XviD : 2-passes : Modulated + MV Hints
2. Xvid : Interlace support
3. Xvid : credit encoding
3. Save setting to .ini or registry, so we don't have to change
the common setting everytime.

Thank you.

[Dark-Cracker]

hi,

- are u sure the bug with Modulated + MV Hints it solved ? if yes, i will add this support in the v1.4

- i am trying to add an avs creator with avisynth plugin support (desinterlace, ivtc ....)

- i will add the credit support.

- i have add some generic profil for 1cd/2cd but perhaps i will try to add the posibility to save the last parameters in a file (and later it will be esay to add a queud listwith these files).

stay tuned, my exams are finish in few days.

ps: sorry for my bad english.

[ookzDVD]

@Dark-Cracker,


- are u sure the bug with Modulated + MV Hints it solved ? if yes, i will add this support in the v1.4


Yes I do, and I'm using it and working well.

Thank you. ;)
