Hi everyone who will read this readme :-)

This is a Win XP working alternative Xvid DebugView output analyzer
(if you see analyse it's because i would say 'analyseur' in french)
I say Win XP working because i get this error with dbg since i upgraded
my Win 98 to Win XP (it was Tuesday) :

!!Error!!The file was not opened!!Floating point error: Domain.

History :
I asked the sources at MoonWalker... (btw, thx again) ...but i could'nt
use them : i was totally unable to understand something of this big heap
of C (because i'm a TP/Delphi programmer) so i rewrote the entire analysis
engine in Delphi : About 300 lines of code. I make a little GUI.
And released this !

Dbg / Alt-Dbg comparaison :

Dbg v0.51 Alt-Dbg

FileSize : Little(75K) Bigger(333K)

Interface : Console Win32 Dialog

Analyser : i don't know FrameStats-Server

File Input : DBG.LOG whateveruwant (dbg.log)

File Output : ANALYZE.TXT whateveruwant (analyse.txt)

Size analysis Frame by frame
Own features : (1-Pass / Scaled stats info
Actual /Compress.)

By my experience,
XP compatible : No Yes

If you have dl-it, you may not have seen somrthing else than a GUI for Dbg...
dl the last Alt-Dbg (04.07.02 release with 0.4.1 Core) (you can get it from my signature) and u will have a (i hope) usefull XviD analyse tool: Graph Draw,Optimized Analysis engine (more than 5x quicker than Dbg...), .emf Graph Export...
Give a Try ! :devil:

[MaTTeR]

Can anyone confirm this works in XP? I'm getting access violation errors when i attempt to open the .log file:confused:

Tried the console version as well and still see the same issue.

WinXP
Log file around 20MB and named properly

Any ideas?

[Schultz]

I am runnign Windows XP also.. And the weird thing i get some Error message when i attempt to open a log file with alt-dbg but i have no problems with the Original DbgViewer as MarcFD gets.. Weird..

[Marc FD]

Ok. I think i know why you have a pb.
1st) I created & tested it under XP (so i'm sure it works)
2nd) In the last Core (v0.4.1), the analysis engine is very very optimised (memory allocation,masking and some ASM part :devil: )
BUT i've just tested it with ONE file (3 Megs) and a very big file (300 megs) who was a 100x Append-copy... so i thinks it's due to the optimisation. I will release a new version with an MAX OPTIMISATION :devil: checkbox )
3rd) optimised version : 300 000 frames per second
non-optimised : 70 000 frames per second
4th) i think the REAL pb is that i don't have ANY verification in the opt mask section. so if your .log file is sightly different than mine it CRASHES :rolleyes:
5th) Try to trim the log file (feed my encoder with a few hundred 2nd-pass lines and see if it crashes..)
6th) Take a small .log file who make Alt-Dbg crash, ripp it (under 200Ko please) and send it me (e-mail below). I would make every .log file that you post to me WORK with Alt-Dbg. And please, say the XviD build you used..
7th) If you answer fast, Alt-Dbg would work in one or two days
8th) I hope you've read the whole ReadMe.html file (i think yes) and that you have the last core release (v0.4.1 i think :D )
9th) I'll release a new version in 3-4 hours.. keep watching ;)

you MUST see Alt-Dbg work : It's too great with the graph :cool:

[Marc FD]

I've uploaded the last version (GUI only - 397 Kbytes)
if it still crashes :(, read bug.txt ;)

[MaTTeR]

Marc FD,

Nice work, it seems to have fixed my issue here. I opened a 22MB log file without any problems:)

The graph is pretty cool, saves the hassle of inputing the stuff into Excel. Thx!

[Kyo]

@Marc FD

Just to say : check your Signature (Wrong Link)

and thanks for your program!

[Schultz]

It works fine on the sample file that you gave in the zip file.. but it don't work with the dbgview files that i am getting outta Xvid. I am using Koepi's Jun 30th build of Xvid. I noticed that it addeds an extra line so there is a space between each frame stats.. I posted my log.. they are not that big because they are for anime's.. but
http://www.edensrising.com/dbgview.rar
both 1st pass and 2nd pass are in the same file.

[Marc FD]

I see.
my prog is less than 1 month old so it's not o final, nor a beta but a ALPHA release.

@MaTTeR
Did you use the optimisation ? (did you need 10 or 1 sec to open your file :devil: )

@Kyo (i prefer k')
Thanks :), il will fix it

@Schultz
Did you use the optimisation ? (generic question)
Hey, it's only an ALPHA version so keep easy it'would not read all .log file from all builds in 1 month of programming (but 50 hours = 12h/day :devil: ). The problem is it can't read 1st stats
files (but tomorrow you will be able to read your file)

@All
ALL .log files you give to me would be handled by my prog but please
shrink them a lot : when you see 100'000 lines like
2nd-Pass : Quant : xx, ect.. where just the digits change cut it all and give me 100 lines (i have take 15 min to load your log :( )

@Schultz (again)
BUT thanks you alot. if anyone react like you, it will very soon work with all .log files from any build of XviD

@All
Hey, have you tried to load multiples log files ?
you can load 10 files ! :D
And i will soon add HARDWARE ACCELERATION :devil:

Say what do you prefer ?
- OpenGl (with 3D graphs)
- DirectX (2D only. D3D is bullsh*t)
I'm waiting for answers :cool:

[Marc FD]

New Version RELEASED : core v0.4.5

@Schultz
I think you're not using DebugView 4.11
(probably theone in the NanDub package ;) )
I't why it don't work.:(
(can you please confirm)
BUT because i'm so kind :D
You can now download the last version
who can read with no problem your .log file with
your ACTUAL configuration
(a 18 min 20 long anime / 207 Mbytes / 8 hours of encoding :cool: )
So now i think that my prog is compatible with the most
XviD Builds / DebugView Version :D

(if so has problems and say it, it's not a pb anymore :cool: )

[MaTTeR]

Marc,

I used optimization and it was very fast;)

Win XP
Dual AMD XP 1600s
512MB DDR RAM

[Gant]

When loading your sample.log it worked with both optimization and no optimization. And that log file i sent you is because of the new build of Xvid when i installed your build it wasn't outputting the blank line..

OpenGl is what i would perfer..

And i am using DebugView 4.13 newest one off sysinternals site.. ;) going to try out your new version now..

Edit: system is
WinXP
PIII 500
512 MB RAM

Damn, youall sure took my shitty Perl log analyzer and ran with it, didn't you? ;)

-p

[Marc FD]

@shultz
OpenGL, hmmm. i prefer openGl at DirectX because it's faster, less buggy, open-source and DirectX is from M$ :devil:
So i think i would try to draw 3D-graphs. I've some experience with OpenGL but 3D is always a BIG stuff but it really rocks :cool:

@primitive

Damn, youall sure took my shitty Perl log analyzer and ran with it, didn't you?

Huh?? :confused: Excuse-me what do you think ??????
Could explain ?? :confused: :confused:

@All
I would remove the non-optimised patch in the next release because the non-optimised engine is too old and really s*cks

I hope everyone has read the readme, so i don't need to say what nices things awaits in the future release
(if i'm able to code them :D )

[gldblade]

>Huh?? Excuse-me what do you think ?????? Could explain ??

Primitive made the original log file analyzer. The idea was then enhanced by Moonwalker. And now it's your turn. :)

[Marc FD]

Primitive made the original log file analyzer.
Aaaahhhhh i didn't know this :D
Thanks for the explaination :)

The idea was then enhanced by Moonwalker.
enhanced ? Woah ! it had to be something very basic ! :D
(i'm kidding ;) i don't split on everyone's work :) )

And now it's your turn
I know :( but it's gonna be something serious :cool:

@All :
Hey i'm going to try some hardware-acc. (but it's not a piece of cake)
and i will add 1st-Pass info recovery (kblocks/mblocks)

[primitive]

Your tool rules, BTW.

Some time pretty soon I need to learn how to use a Windows development tool.

XviD forever!

[Marc FD]

yep! you've said it :)

i personnaly try to learn C++ because it's the most used but i'm still a noob in C++ :( (but when you know 1 or 2 , it's easy to jump to another :) (i think)
