Help!!! (rc4)

[dvd2svcd]

Get Release Candidate 4 (http://www.dvd2svcd.org/D2S110B1RC4.zip). No new stuff will be added, only bugfixes. This is the full bundle. This gotta be the last RC.

The subject should attract a moderator or two :D Sorry. Anyhuu please, if you want, betatest the above, thanks. Any major bugs post them in this thread, but I beg of you, make as sure as you can that it is infact a bug :cool:

[hitch]

Great "subject". I'm no moderator, but I think you should be striked for making me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.:D About time folks regained their sense of humour in here.

On you mark, get set, test...And they're off.

Hello DVD2SVCD :)

I'm testing your beta release with 3 dvd's so far (only one chpater). Everything works fine with default settings and normal VBR mode (with subtitles, of course, you know me ;)).
I've tested also the new RoBa mode but it's not working perfectly. In these 3 DVD's i tested, only onde was successfully converted. CCE comes up with this error message:

cce_encoding_init() failed

Here is part of my log file (they are big now :p):

Please note the negative value in the Avg. Bitrate. Maybe this is the problem. I have attached the complete log.
Hope i can continue helping you in the developing of this great program.
You're the man ;)

[dvd2svcd]

Yes, the RoBa method is quite unstable. All I can suggest is try using CCE 2.62 safemode, I believe Bach has had the most success with this. All in all I'd stick with the 4 pass VBR.

Edit:
Yes, it is definatly not good with a negative Bitrate. Maybe I should disable RoBa and do some testing on it. (btw, roba is actually not meant for chapters, but complete dvd's, otherwise I fear as in your case that it will fail)

[UltimateDBZ]

Thanks for the new beta, D2S, I'll be doing my own wave of testing starting here shortly :)

[titvs]

Ok, i'll try to full encode one of those problematic DVD's and see if it goes succesfully.
Other thing, did you take a look at that Taxi 2 data regarding another subs issue?
Well, i have a workaround for those weird DVD's: use of textsub.vdf and a SSA file :p Just to check ;)

Best regards,

Titvs

[dvd2svcd]

Yes, I think I did, it is some time ago though, and my ram is not what it used to be.

[chainsaw135]

i just downloaded the new beta:) i'm going to do a full ntsc movie tonight so i'll post back if i notice anything out of the ordinary.

Edit: ok its 8:34 pm here i'm starting the first movie with the beta
the movie i'm doing first off is called "Frailty" btw its a very good movie, a bit strange which in my eyes is always nice:D

[dvd2svcd]

@chainsaw135
OT: Strange... If you want strange but very cultish, try Donnie Darko :)

[Labersack]

I really like the 'use frame selection'. Its perfect for the conversion of DVB-Streams.
Thanks.
edit: Very handy feature... but: (I know, free pie...) ;)
Only a suggestion:
Is it posible to expand the 'rip only' to 'rip & frame selection only'?
If I do batch encoding I can't select the frames before starting the batch, so I have to do it after evry movie seperatly and my batch won't finish alone.

;) This has also been done.

[markrb]

I had to pipe in on Donnie Darko. Strange, but great movie. Real life brother and sister, play the brother and sister.

A quick neat note on that movie. The actor was on a talk show when he told the following story about his friends.


Warning: Don't read on if you wish to see this movie spoiler in post.
He said that at a premiere his friends where suppose to meet him afterwards. At the end of the movie after the main character dies one friend bent over to the other and in all seriousness said "I don't think he will be able to meet us now." His bud thought he really died. True story. Dumb friend. Great movie. Slow and plodding, but with so many layers of meaning.

Was produced by Drew Barrymore.

[matrix]

Just finish my first movie with the new version.
Great. No problems at all. I didn't use anything special, just the unfilter. Changed only the filesize, and the max and min bitrates.
It's really great to have the option to see where to cut it. Love it.
I encoded this movie 2 times before, with the previous ver. And each time, ended up with a very big file. (never happened before). Bbmpeg would mux the first part, then I'd get an error. Something about floating point. Couldn't do it manually because the file was way too big. Both times. Second time it was a little smaller, but got the same error.
Anyway, with this version I finally have it done.
I'll do some more testing in the time to come.
Great program, great features, great work. Thank you.

Read some reviews on it at amazon.com and it looks really good will be picking that one up this week:D

On another note, i did frailty last night it worked without a problem and so i dont have much to report on that note looking forward to the new release:cool:

i was just going to come on here and ask the same thing but it seems you beat me to it...thanks for implementing that too dvd2svcd, should be very useful.

[mrbass]

just dl b2 at work...then see this b3 post.

As we know from experience most newbies won't be changing default settings let alone advanced.
Does anyone agree to these default settings? I admit there's little difference in changing these
settings so perhaps it's a moot point and to no avail.

Is there anywhere on earth people can still purchase 74min (740MB) cds? I haven't seen any at stores/online for about a year now. Default all to 800 perhaps. Then again leave it the way it is otherwise newbies wouldn't know the versatility. I personally do 1cd,2,3,4,5,6cd in the bitrate settings. If it ain't broke don't fix it?

VCD-Settings.ini and SVCD-Settings.ini
How about DVD-Settings.ini could Fletch perhaps come up with a nice template of settings to be included perhaps? Perhaps next release then.

cce advanced settings
default should be Intra DC decision should be 8 or AUTO.
since SVCD are 2.6Mbps or less.
"Specify the bit precision of the DC coefficient of the intra-block in Intra DC precision in the video settings screen. One of 8, 9 and 10 bits can be set here.

In general the optimum settings cannot be determined since changes depend on the details of the picture and movement intensity. For pictures with intensive movement and fine bumps, a low number of bits is appropriate. For smooth pictures with little movement, a higher number of bits is appropriate. A low number of bits may be specified for use at a , and a high number of bits may be specified for use at a high bitrate.

When Auto is selected, the precision varies according to quantization scale.For details, refer to the guides on MPEG-2. "


Linear quantizer scale default should be [b]unchecked
"Setting quantization scale type
There are two types of quantization scales: linear and non-linear. Linear quantization scale is a method used for MPEG-1, where the quantization scale is allocated linearly. To set the linear quantization scale, select Linear quantization scale in the video settings screen. However, the nonlinear quantization scale is recommended unless there is a special reason."

default audio bitrate 128 bump to either 192 or 224

Will be experimenting a bunch with it in a couple of hours when I get home.

[needle]

I have enjoyed very much your new beta version of d2s. However I have two comments about subtitles.

When you select several subtitles, the end time code of the last bitmap for at least one the sub files is wrong.
For instance, the last lines of two sub files for an encoded chapter using the last d2s beta are:
en200088.bmp 00:12:25,43 00:12:26,34 136 40 284 488
es100088.bmp 00:12:25,43 01:59:59,89 104 40 300 488

In the current version the subtitles with start time code smaller than four seconds are trimmed and
do not appear in the sub file because some standalone players cannot display them. Looking ahead, it
would be convenient to include them in the sub file since they do not make any harm when using Winsubmux
as subtitle muxer and in some moment might appear a program that shows subtitles on computers.

Needle

[dvd2svcd]

@needle: You're right on both accounts. I will fix it now.

EDIT:
Fixed.

yea but that'd help people know the option existed for 90min but the way I see it is you either do 740, 800, or 900 and not mix match cd sizes but anywayz no biggie.

I'll see what I can do. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the most DVD author programs multiplex and cut in appropiated places?
yea but fletch seems to have gotten it good. 4600 I believe in the bitrate tab, etc. Most will obviously just try ifoedit but if the main movie isn't under 4.7GB or whatever then resort to reencoding it via dvd2svcd or rempeg2 I suppose.

The new default is 192 [/B]

Are you triple sure? (if so I'm an idiot) I've installed b1, b2, b3 and each time wiped out completely the whole dir and dvd2svcd.ini ...each time it has 128 audio and audio downsample checked.

oh yea...-shutdown and -exit work perfect now for rip only...also the dvd authentication problems seem to have vanished.

[dvd2svcd]

@Bass: What I meant was, 192 is now the default (as in I just changed to 192 as the default 15 minutes ago ;))

[mrbass]

oh.duh....gotcha...you should say in b4 it's default. Like the frame selection rip only thing too. I had no idea if it was in b3..but now I know it's in b4...gotcha.

[dvd2svcd]

Gotcha too. All that I post here in which I say things has been fixed/changed is in Beta 4.

[mrbass]

when I rip only and select new default folder...then I hit "cancel" it adds it to the dvd2svcd.bat file. Perhaps it shouldn't add it till one hits ok. I get multiple entries in there. Yes I know it's my fault but just before I hit OK sometimes I want to double check a parameter, etc. If it's too hard to fix ..forget about it.

[ux-3]

after reading the suggestions of mrbass, perhaps among the deinterlace options, the could be one with "keep interlaced", to the effect to apply no deinterlacing, to shut off zigzag and to shut of progressive frame.

Once I get a chance, I'll see if the field order bug is gone...

Once I get a chance, I'll see if the field order bug is gone... You must be reading my mind, I was just experimenting with it. All that is needed is unchecking "progressive" in CCE advanced settings. Maybe this should be the default value, it seems to me that the outcome doesn't suffer even when the input is progressive.

[ux-3]

Well, according to the cce manual, zigzag should be off as well when encoding interlaced material.

I would like to have this setting, because I tend to forget my changed settings in the advanced menu. So when I do a regular progframe dvd, I mess it up, cause I have the stuff set for "keep interlaced" without seeing it.

The other related problem, which might be worth considering is that field order bug: The auto setting still didn't work properly in the last 109b3, I posted that a while ago. When I was having it on auto, Star Trek was occasinally strobing, aparently from reversed order. When setting it to B, all was fine. If this is a more common occurance, then error reports will flow in plenty when this "keep interlaced" is newbie-available.

[mrbass]

- Resize method:

It's blank in SVCDInfo.txt
It'd be handy to know if one used SimpleResize or BiCubic to compare quality. This was also with 1.0.9b3 and the lastest beta...guess I just never noticed it.

[dvd2svcd]

Yes, I know. The problem is that the AvisynthScript is so much more flexible in the new version. Maybe I should just put the entire avisynth script into the txt file.

[mrbass]

yea I vote to throw in the avisynth script used into SVCDInfo.txt

I know I brought this up before (you can't kill me twice see double jeopardy movie)..anwayz..
'Instead of Use ChangeCD Picture on All CD's'
how about
'EndofSetCD Pic'
1) many times I cut off credits of last chapter and my wife is like wtf is that the whole movie? I'm like yes. Or she thinks it's a 3 SVCD set instead of when it's really only 2 SVCD set.
2) If I put the Use ChangeCD on all cd's then they think it's a 3SVCD set when it's really only 2 SVCD set. (I cut and copied part of point 1)
3) this most likely is no longer never since Frame Selection cutting. Like leave 10 seconds of credits so one knows it's ended.
4) Once in a blue river, the last cd might be scratched and they don't know if it made it to the end of the movie. Of course this is rememdied by using ChangeCD pic on all cd's but see point 1 and 2.
5)my momma told me it never hurts to ask for surely thou shalt be rebuked and spit upon

i try every prog that i found to convert my dvds.
no one other have the quality of dvd2svcd....and it's simple to use!
:cool: is the best.

[hoozdapimp]

so i noticed you added "surround2" to the besweet dropdown menu...this is indeed the updated version of dolby prologic 2 correct? i remember the last thread you mentioned to download resource hacker and do the edit ourselves, but is this fully implemented now? is there any other special things we need for pro logic II besides this setting?

Yes, Surround2 is fully implemented (no need for any hacking). Just keep the output as Stereo.

I think I found a bug in the vertical position of subtitles. When using cvd-subtitles it doesn't matter what Y-pos I set the subtitles-tab, winsubmux always muxes my subtitles at a standard position (I don't really know if this changes per DVD (I've tried about 4 or 5 now, both NTSC and PAL), but it's probably the standard position (-1)). When I look at the subtitle-ini (I don't recall the actual filename) the Y-position is correct, but the .srt en .txt files produced all have the incorrect Y-position.

I really hope this can be fixed in an upcoming release :D :D :D

[dvd2svcd]

AVI2SVCD doesn't work unless you have a suitable audio decompressor (for avisynth). This has been fixed in Beta 4.

[seewen]

There's a little problem in DVD2SVCD 1.1.0 build 1 BETA 3 when I try to Convert a DivX --> SVCD. When I hit the "preview" button DVD2SVCD says "Cannot open file ..DVD2SVCD\TEMP\preview.d2v".

And there's nothing in the DVD2SVCD\TEMP\ directory (no ".d2v" neither ".avs").


An other problem comes when you try to convert a DivX-Ac3 file. This is in fact an Avisynth's problem , maybe it comes from my computer:

When you Convert a DivX-Ac3 file, there's no problem till Video Encoding. And at this moment, it fails. The problem, by me, is in the *.avs script. I have to add "AVISource("....\....avi",false). If i don't add it, Avisynth says "ACM failed to suggest a compatible PCM format" . The sames append if I try to "preview" in DVD2SVCD 1.09.3.

Thanks for reading my horrible english ;-)

[dvd2svcd]

@seewen: Both problems fixed, thanks for the .d2v bug, I hadn't seen that until now.

[dvd2svcd]

Beta 4 is online. The link is in my first post of thread.

Well, according to the cce manual, zigzag should be off as well when encoding interlaced material.

I would like to have this setting, because I tend to forget my changed settings in the advanced menu. So when I do a regular progframe dvd, I mess it up, cause I have the stuff set for "keep interlaced" without seeing it.

The other related problem, which might be worth considering is that field order bug: The auto setting still didn't work properly in the last 109b3, I posted that a while ago. When I was having it on auto, Star Trek was occasinally strobing, aparently from reversed order. When setting it to B, all was fine. If this is a more common occurance, then error reports will flow in plenty when this "keep interlaced" is newbie-available.

Three things must be set to maintain the interlaced setting:
1. Uncheck ZigZag scanning order (CCE Advanced Settings)
2. Uncheck Progressive Frames (CCE Advanced Settings)
3. Select 4:3 (No Borders) as the aspect ratio (Conversion tab)

I'll add the above setting to the list of Deinterlacers as "Keep Interlaced"

[mrbass]

beta 4...128 audio is still default. vstrip is default rather than internal routines. VCDImager rather than VCDXBuild. CCE 5 passes rather than 4.
Bitrate Max. 2500 and Max. Avg 2500 (or did it switch when I quickly switch to TMPGEnc and back again?). Everyone will get the "The difference between Max. Bitrate and Max. Avg is less than 120. CCE might fail." warning. I thought beta 3 Max. Avg 2350?
If any are meant to be defaults then that's fine just pointing them out.

btw: use frame selection with batch ripping 'rip only' works great. Thanks for adding that. It's a real boon to all of us batch rippers. Is then anyway to enable us to type the paticular frame to go to in the 'Current Frame' box. I want to go to frame 150. But if I drag the slider one notch it's frame 358. That's a lotta single clicks to get to frame 150. Then again I just hit Play and stop so I guess that works just fine so forget about it.

[dvd2svcd]

All the values you have now is the same as you had in Beta 3 because there is no installation in beta 4 (just the zipped program), and dvd2svcd doesn't change the values which already exiists in the dvd2svcd.ini file, that only happens at the installation if the value doesn't exist in the ini file. That btw goes for all the values. The only way to see the new default values will be when I make the big bundle installation (upon release). But, remember to uninstall the old version then.

Just hit < or > for 1 frame or << or >> for 10 frames.

Upon re-reading this post I found it to sound arrogant which wasn't my intention so I edited it, sorry about that

Clixomano and I have made a new sticky here: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35746 If you read that you should get an idea of how to add unfilter. Also read the readme.txt file in which I have described what I have been doing in this version.

[edwinver]

I'm not sure if B4 has fixed my problem, but here's my DVD2SVCD.INI for the PAL DVD I was trying to convert. Everything worked fine, but Y-pos of my subtitles, which I set to 416 (as you can see in my DVD2SVCD).

And these subtitle positions are also in my .txt (subtitle)files.

*The version I used here is B3 (not the latest B4)

[dvd2svcd]

@edwinver: Ok, now I know what you mean. Well, the thing is that there is 26 lines of difference between the preview subtitle pos and the actual subtitle pos when played on a standalone dvd. So I add 26 to the Y-Pos you select in the preview. That way the position should be the same on both Preview and TV.

[dvd2svcd]

Originally posted by Bach


there are some (few) show_music DVD's which are interlaced AND anamorphic, so that to use 4:3_no_borders is a big no no, unless the standalone DVD player is able to play anamorphic SVCD. I`m sure on these cases you can use

interlacedresize(480,360)
addborders(0,60,0,60)

instead of 4:3 and keep the source interlaced. Interlacedresize is a feature of tom's simpleresize.dll. Well, now I have tried InterlacedResize, but that was no success, all I got was a _very_ shaky picture. Have you had success using it?

[seewen]

I wanted to change something in the "AddBorders" line:

AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)


the value of ",^BorderTop" and "^BorderBottom" are usually the same for me. SO i made this changes:

AddBorders(0,^btbb_value,0,^btbb_value)


so i just have to fill one parameter ;-) (I know, i'm lazy ;-) ). But it doesn't work very well... In DVD2SVCD, when I choose my script, and i want to fill the "AddBorders" parameters, the "parameter value box" open with 2 times ^btbb_value (I expected 1 only)... But if i change the value of the first one, it replace both in DVD2SVCD main frame, but in the "parameter value" box the 2 ^btbb_value doesn't have the same value (the second keep the default value) ..

----

Something else: I tried this piece of code:

1=LanczosResize(^tw_value,^th_value)
2=AddBorders(16,^btbb_value,16,^btbb_value)
...
^th_value=544
^btbb_value=(576-^th_value)/2


I was thinking "so i just have to fill the Target_Height, and the bottom/top_border will be automatically calculated, for PAL movies". But when i select this script, the value showed in DVD2SVCD mainframe=

2=AddBorders(16,(576-^th_value)/2,16,(576-^th_value)/2)


I'm sure that's not a bug, but i just wanted to know if it where [easily] possible to implement this sort of automatism ?


Thanks for reading

P.S.
maybe i should have post this message in the Dvd2SVCD's beta thread..

[dvd2svcd]

I can see what you mean in your first question, I will have to think it through, maybe it can be avoided.

But the second question I don't see any problems with this line:

2=AddBorders(16,(576-^th_value)/2,16,(576-^th_value)/2)

Which is changed to

AddBorders(16,(576-##)/2,16,(576-##)/2)

Where ## is your chosen value is fully acceptable in an Avisynth Script.


But why you don't use dvd2svcd internal values is beyond me.

[seewen]

the line

1=LanczosResize(^tw_value,^th_value)
2=AddBorders(16,(576-^th_value)/2,16,(576-^th_value)/2)

Works 1/2 ;). When you open DVD2SVCD and choose this script, the values are ok. But if you try to change the ^th_value @line 1, it's not updated @line 2( and it's the same parameter ). You see what I mean ? (sorry for my poor english)

--

I read somewhere that FitCD values where more precises than the automatic one from DVD2SVCD... And i read @ other places the opposite ... ;)

That's why i wanted to test by myself. And before the 1.1.0 build 1, I had to "edit the Avisynth Script". But with the really-nice-new-version it's possible to make an AVS script, and thus no more need to stop the process. That's why i wanted to try other's value that the internal one ;)

Thank for the answer.

[dvd2svcd]

@seewen: Ok I understand. Well, I cannot spand same parametername and value on more than one line except if you do like this:

0=th_value=^th_value
1=LanczosResize(^tw_value,th_value)
2=AddBorders(16,(576-th_value)/2,16,(576-th_value)/2)

You see, I create an avisynth variabled called th_value which I the use in multiple lines. Neat isn't it ;)


Unfortunately I found a bug in my avisynth script parser that destroys the above. But which I have fixed here.

[dvd2svcd]

H0p3 U c4n w8 ;) Nevermind, I just tried again and this time with huge success :) However, users will have to manually change the progressive/zigzag and select interlaceresize if they want to maintain the aspect ratio for those anamorphic dvds. I will add how-to in the Q&A when I release the new dvd2svcd.

You are absolutely right. Sorry, i didn't thought about it enough before posting.. :/ sorry.

And in fact, it works very well if you add "()" :

0=th_value=(^th_value)

Thank you dvd2svcd Well, it was not an apparent solution but it is a good solution ;)

[X5-452]

I noticed a few bugs related to I-author in beta4 and older versions.

When I select tmpgenc as encoder and I-author as disc image program. DVD2SVCD then tries to convert the pictures with tmpgenc and gives an error (probably because I-author does it's own conversion).
And the second error is that when I select Finalize with cdmage. It opens the cd image and after that nothing happens. Also sometimes it doesn't open Cdmage at all, but my windows clock instead.

These are both some small things, but it would be cool to see them fixed.

Thank you very much for such a cool tool!

[dvd2svcd]

This is kind of funny, is everybody mindreaders? I have just fixed the first you mention and I'm currently testing the second problem :D


EditThe second problem is fixed now too.

Hi DVD2SVCD,
am a tall fan of D2S. :)
The Roba Methode functions super om my system.
Now I would test the new version of D2S but the link for the RC 1 does not function unfortunately. :eek:
Can you fix it ?? :rolleyes:

[mrbass]

@edealer...it works just fine ..just tested it..perhaps it was down temporarily.

About Tab in RC1...Donation, DVD2SVCD Q&A, DVD2SVCD Forum nothing comes up when I click on them. Tried on two separate computers (home/work).

Ok redid (exact thing happened in b4 as did RC1) Scooby Doo and using frame selection continues to only make one cd image. I'm unchecking the option in Misc "Don't delete any files" and also I define folders in "define folder structure". The .mpv is the full video and cuts properly at start frame and end frame. BBMPEG only muxed one .mpg and thus vcdxbuild only builds one bin .cue.

See the logs... and it shows you only one .bin .cue
gonna attach it...18KB

I've got the same problem with WIndtalkers (i've used "Use frame selection"). It should make 2 Cue/Bin, but VCDxBUILDER build only the first one. But the "pulldown_encoded_NTSC.mpv" is OK (1.34Go).


And another thing. I don't know if it's normal, but in CCE advance-sttings, under GOP one can read "M" and "M/N" . And if i look directly in CCE, i see "M" and "N/M" ;-) .
Good Night

[The eDealer]

So, now I have the new Version, thanks to mrbass :rolleyes:

But the Preview brings up the Massage:
"Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000"
:confused:
No Picture ist shown.

And same message (Access violation at address 00000000. Read of address 00000000)when I select the "Use frame selektion"!

With the pre22 befor everything works fine, so I dont think it's a System or Memo Prob. ?!

[dvd2svcd]

@Bass
Don't click.... Double click and ye shall see.

Anybody here with the same probs as eDealer ?

[mrbass]

Hey my dvd2svcd.ini file is at work. But it's in that logs.zip file some moderator has to approve to show the attachment. You can find it there.

Well I tried double clicking about tab and still same thing happens. Browser opens up but it's blank as can be.
Alright I'm almost 100% positive it won't work if one has IE6SP1 installed. No idea why IE is trying to pop-up when Nestcape is my default browser...very clever MS.
Please mod...approve attach...even I can't dl it.

[Josh]

I think it would be cool to add to the conversion tab where it says "Go!" a convert option (without rip and convert, just start at convert). I know it's preferred to use internal routines, but there are some movies that you need to rip first to get the correct audio stream. That way, DVD2SVCD won't re-rip a movie that's already ripped to your hard drive and take up more of your hard drive. That's my suggestion, and thanks for the great work! Looking forward to the next release.

[arlsair]

I have the same probs like eDealer. Testet with the "Frame selection" function. Here is my message: "EAccessViolation Access violation at address 00000009. Read of address FFFFFFFF".

Probably it is a specific german problem ;)

this can already be done.. just uncheck the Activate DVD Ripping in the DVD Rip page and it won't re-rip the movie to your harddrive.

Also DVD2SVCD keep up the great work this release is nice.. Love the avisynth stuff in it..

[dvd2svcd]

@Bass: I just checked the Attachment Queue and it is empty. And I just tried the about tab links and I'm not sure what the problem is because all 4 links works when dbl clicked. Strange.

@eDealer and arlsair: I'd like to get your dvd2svcd.ini files too.

[arlsair]

Alright, I attachted it.

[dvd2svcd]

@arlsair: What is mpeg2dec3.dll I don't recall that that ever was in my bundle or supported for that matter. Is this a special build of your own ?

[arlsair]

Ups, sorry, it is the Mpeg2Dec PostProcessing Mod by Marc FD (version beta 6). An Extension of the Mpeg2Dec2. See here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=34253.
I tried it again with the same options and now Mpeg2Dec2, it works. In Pre22 the Mpeg2Dec3 worked, so it is/was standard for me. Sorry again.

IMO eDealer use also the Mpeg2Dec3

[dvd2svcd]

Ok, as long as I know what it is. I'll try it out here to, maybe I can get dec3 to work too, but I don't gurantee it.

[arlsair]

Thanks, that would be nice.
I tested a workaround sucessful: I choose the Mpeg2Dec2 in D2S, start conversion and make chances in the frame selection window. Then I edit the avisynth script and chance the Mpeg Decoder.

Btw I want to thank you for work

[Boulder]

I had a similar problem as eDealer. The process crashed after DVD2AVI had finished with the same error message. I believe that it happened because I didn't uninstall the previous version (1.0.9 build 3) before installing the new one (that was beta 3). Uninstalling and then reinstalling solved the problem.

[idbirch2]

Is it just me or does that download link not work?
It opens a blank window. Right click and Save As... gives an error.html
I would really like to get hold of this RC, can anyone who has downloaded it up it somewhere??

Cheers

[dvd2svcd]

It works properly here. Don't copy the link location, just click it.

[dvd2svcd]

There's a bug if you use Frameselection with cdoverlapping. Please disable cd overlapping if you're going to use Frameselection.

[edwinver]

@idbirch2

You might want to check your firewall if the download-link doesn't work
;)

[badbert]

NOW I GET IT!! LOL At first I was a little disappointed with the latest betas. I thought you had eliminated sharpen and temporal smoother. Then yesterday I logged on and saw the Database sticky...Like a truck hitting me I realised what I had misunderstood....This is without a doubt the coolest thing you have ever done for DVD2SVCD!! Hats off to you @DVD2SVCD keep up the great work!! You are a true genius....

[idbirch2]

Sorry lads, i managed to get it to work - it is there. I recently installed Gozilla 3.5 which can't actually open itself at the moment (bloody worked yesterday) and is trying to steal the link.
Held the old Ctrl down, clicked and Bingo!

Apologies for my more than passing resemblence to a retard!

Cheers :p

Anywaaays, RC2 is in the first post (just an exe update)

Fixes:
1. The Frameselection/CD Overlapping bug.
2. You can use Marc FD's mpeg2dec.dll too now, but important do not override the original mpeg2dec.dll or you will break the preview and frameselection options.

[kydongau]

I found that on RC1 reloading the project for recovery disabling the selection of avsync scripts. Is this a feature? or is it fixed in RC2?

[dvd2svcd]

Let's call it a feature.

[furado]

About the new feature "Use frame selection"

I probe whith 2 movies using 2 disc
and I cut not exactly on middle of the movie,
but I see that is the same SVCDInfo.txt on both discs
and it is not correct because the first disc has
more minutes that the second and differect bitrate, etc.

Other is that I choose on CD Image creation the option DVD chapters
but on both disk when I see the movie and use PBC not start
on DVD chapters.

I expect help you whith my test.

[arlsair]

DVD2SVCD, you are the greatest. Thanks a lot.

I have a now request for the Mpeg2Dec3: The spezial is that you can tune the mpegsource line. It would be cool when I can edit this line like the rest of the avisynth script. Or is there then a problem with inserting the VOB names automatically ?
When i can insert the blend=false videoencoding is for me 5 to 10 percent faster and that is quite nice.

But, just to settle this matter I'll just consider it the usual language barrier from now on and to stop this from getting out of hand (because I'm a hothead too) I'll just make it so that you'll also have the other avisynth scripts when reloading a project.

[The eDealer]

Hi DVD2SVCD,
many thanks for the RC2 with mpeg2dec3.dll support.
You did a great work :D

well, what can I say, you read it wrong, I asked the question having in mind that you may have seen it and may have done something about it in RC2. I dont have RC2 yet. People dont always fix bugs only, they fix things that may not have worked as indended etc, I think the latter a mayority.

[firewired]

Decided to try out RC2 by re-encoding the last DVD I backed up using 1.0.9 Build 3. What can I say? Amazing quality, and that new "Interlace" setting is a godsend.

I did have a problem with permanent subtitles though. Working at 720x480 16x9 letterbox (NTSC, borders added) with the Y-Pos set at 400, all the subtitles were chopped on the left and right. First and last few letters of a sentence were either absent or rendered incompletely. I tried different settings with no luck. I've never experienced anything like that before.

Not sure if I'm doing anything wrong, but I'd appreciate a suggestion or two. Thanks in advance.

[hitch]

I'm curious if there will be an update to the Q&A based on this release. Seems like the frame based cutting and avisynth enhancements deserve some words if for no other reason than to be able to send the future question seekers on a merry quest. ;)

[markrb]

hitch you can bet your bottom dollar it will happen. It's been updated at almost every release. Just as many times to remove questions that no longer applied then to add a new feature.
It will not be updated until after the full release and until the people that do it have had enough time with the new version to explain it properly. We also wait to see if a pattern emerges of the same questions. Basically the most asked or the hardest to explain get put there first.

Don't be afraid to offer some words to add to the Q+A. If you feel something is missing then point it out to one of us. If you look through it you will see many addditions by regular members. To toot my own own, I even had a question added before I became a mod.
Many of us have very little time to begin with and members offering things like this are often a great help. However we do tend to edit and change it a bit so be prepared you may not be quoted exactly.

DVD2SVCD -

About the integration of others templates, now EVERYTHING WORKS FINE !

After put many matrices in .ini, changing correctly the bit rate max and min, VBF, GOP's, time by CD's and making CQ_VBR constant for the original template, and the BBMPEG settings for VBR too, all works very well, I test 3 differents templates, and all the 3 works well and very automated !

Only one strange kind :

When I choose DVD2SVCD trying many values of CQ alone, and the original CQ from template is 35, the program makes many attempts, and choose CQ=52,..... . The result was an total size of MPEG 1.9 Gb. When I force CQ=35, total size was 1.4 Gb.

I will try now modifying the star CQ from 60 to 40 and see what happens.

Anyway, your mods works very well, fantastic job !

Thanks

[kwag]

@DVD2SVCD:

Hi,

Please, if possible, change the spread value box from 60 max to at least 100 max. This will enable sampling a higher granularity window, and achieve higher accuracy in file size prediction. The current value of 60 is too low to sample with a frames per spread of 24, which is what has targetted a 1-2% accuracy with the avisynth formula below:

IL = Framecount / 100 # interval length in frames
SL = round(Framerate) # sample length in frames
SelectRangeEvery(IL,SL)
## MPEG size = ((Total frames/Framerate)/100) * (MPEG sample file size * .95) ##

It's better to have many more tiny window samples than less larger window samples.

Thanks,
-kwag

[dvd2svcd]

True, but in the old avisynth version there was a max of 60 trim commands. Haven't tested the new though. I did try SelectEvery but it was so slow that I never looked back, however I have not tried SelectRangeEvery, maybe it is faster.

Originally posted by kwag

But as you know I don't like own 500 dvd's to make a proper test so it all up for graps. I'll try your suggestion.

Thanks for your quick response DVD2SVCD,

We're currently using AviSynth 2.06, the latest version, and the results are amazing. I myself have tested about 9 movies with the current formula. All results were between .06% and 2%. 2% being the worst case for two of the movies. Other users have reported the same results. Even the movie "The Green Mile", which is 3 hours long, came out to -0.62% of predicted file size with the method described. I know that it's not 100% "bullet proof", but nothing is! Anyway, it's a superb alternative for multi pass encoding.
Let us know your results. I'm currently working on a bunch of .INI files that integrate each basic KVCD template into DVD2SVCD. That way users can just select an .INI file and go!.

Regards,
-kwag

[dvd2svcd]

@Kwag: Well, imho my prediction is pretty close too, and a change in this prediction area is a dagerous step to do just before releasing a new version. But betwwn this and the next release I wil have tested it properly and deemed it good or bad. But that shouldn't stop you from doing the ini templates.

@Back: In the next version I'll make size prediction for CCE one pass too.

[markrb]

Do you think it's agood idea and is it possible to put the Min Avg part of the Bitrate Tab under the advanced section and remove it from basic? It's a pretty easy thing to check it and not understand how it could mess you up.

Just a suggestion,
Mark

[pinheads_hell]

why is dvd2svcd now analyzing my video when i click on the cd in the conversion.he now analyzing the dvd (thirteen ghosts PAL German) since 10 min.and other dvds it tooks much more time til he finds the ifo file,length and AR.hmm is this normal?i dont like that .
ps.
now dvd2svcd told me :failed to rip data!
but i havent clicked the button to rip.now he's continuing analyzing the video thats F*uckin' Bullshit
edit:gonna chang to 1.09 build 3 again _;(

[dvd2svcd]

Well, as you're the only one (as far as I have heard) that has this problem maybe the problem is with your system. Another thing, this is a release candidate, not the final release. That means that there might still be a few problems to be solved. So, when downloading a Release Candidate you silently accept that. There is absolutely no need _whatsoever_ to use profanity. You have been striked, and don't _ever_ do it again.

[VILLA21]

pinheads_hell:
"...it tooks much more time til he finds the ifo file,length and AR..."

I noticed the same behaviour of RC2, not 10mins as "pinheads" claimed, but for sure takes much longer to display the .ifo file, length, AR, etc, than the last release 1.09 b3.

[dvd2svcd]

Well, I haven't noticed any difference in that regard. What windows version are you running dvd2svcd on and when did you last reinstall it?

[VILLA21]

WinXP pro and i reinstalled the RC1 and the upadate RC2 last week.
I"ll try one more DVD and i"ll let u know.

[mrbass]

I think the longer loading times can be contributed to the new Nic's AuthDVD.DLL and those who have many drives. I myself I have A: thru H: (virtual cd-roms, etc.) See my email I sent you about selecting a default dvd-rom drive perhaps. Or perhaps instead of having the user being able to select default dvd-rom drive just store it in dvd2svcd.ini so the next time it will at least scan that dvd-rom drive first. Or is this a request we should take up with Nic himself?

[fgm]

A small one: I was trying to add the RoBa method so I added the line "RoBa Visible=1" to the dvd2svcd.ini file as stated in the readme but nothing happened. Then I found another line in the .ini file: "RoBa Visibel=0" (Visible vs. Visibel) and that one did the trick.

EDITED: The second problem I mentioned here (now erased) was my mistake (wrong path to MPEG2Dec.dll). No need to keep it here. Sorry.


Thanks

[Funil99]

DVD2SVCD -

Testing RC2 :
I'm using TMPGEnc, and my chapters don't work anymore. I tried all the options - PBC Playlist and PBC Selections. Tried with and whitout Frame Selection, but chapters don't work too.

Funil99

[mordant]

I'm trying RC2 and using WinXP Home and am also having the long wait problem and the "failed to rip data" error. "Analysing Video, Please wait..." has been going on for 5 minutes now. My drive light is going and it seems like the DVD is being read, but nothing else is happening.

...I switched to vstrip and it started right away.

Also, just wondering where the Temporal Smoother setting went to? I know I can add it to the script myself, but I liked having it in the frameserver section.

It's not there (in other words gone)...I reckon the reason being there are numerous avisynth filters out there and tons of theories of this and that method giving this and that result. Geez, just look at dvd2svcd's cartoon example. I about feel over backwards trying to even comprehend one line in there. It's best to use it if your advanced (unlike me) and add it like it says so near the very bottom of the readme.txt.

[chainsaw135]

@mrbass very well put my friend:D

[fgm]

From the Readme.txt just cut and paste the following lines to the end of the dvd2svcd.ini file and point the path to the MPEG2DEC.dll file in your HD:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize-TemporalSmoother]
0=LoadPlugin(!MPEG2DEC2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=TemporalSmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
!MPEG2DEC2.dll=C:\Programmer\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC.dll
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
^Strength=2
^Radius=1

After that you'll have another choice in your Frameserver tab named BicubicResize-TemporalSmoother (right after SimpleResize, BicubicResize, etc.). You can change the values directly in the script or through the Parameters column in the Frameserver tab.

Or is this a request we should take up with Nic himself? Nope I don't think that's that because "Analyzing Video" don't start before an ifo file have been found and when it has been found, only the drive on which the ifo file has been found is being authenticated.

Villa, Mordant and others you do have installed the ASPI Drivers, right?
And still I need to know what windows system you're using?

[Sofliberty]

I've had the same problem when ripping from a (2pc)network drive.
It starts, finds the ifo and time, window "analysing video" stucks, I can start the rip but the window is still there. also it don't get the AR correct, but still possible to rip.

Both machines run Win XP pro, never had this prob before.
Seen it once or twice with dvd also, but don't remember details.

[Fmazzanti]

Hi,
I guess that's the proper place to post that. I've been playing around with RC1, encoding A Beautiful Mind. I like to have two audio soundtracks and two subtitle streams. Also I took advantage of the new feature to cut the movie at the point you want, using the frame editor etc etc. Well everything goes ok, but at the end the authoring process stops before calling to vcdxbuild! It ends up with a couple of .mpegs with extension .mpg-s1 and then DVD2SVCD closes.
Does anybody know a cure for that or why is this happening?
Thanks...

[dvd2svcd]

Ok, enough with the bug reports. I need all of you with problems to zip and attach your dvd2svcd.ini fil here also, those who has the problems with slow "analyzing video" please zip a bugreport here too. Or mail it all to me. But be sure to sign who it's from (your nick on this board) so I know what to look for.

@Fmazzanti: How many frame selections did you make?

[Fmazzanti]

@Fmazzanti: How many frame selections did you make?

A couple of them... Curiously enough (maybe that's ok but I don't know) the program generated three multiplexed files before muxing subtitles: one 50 Kb long, and two more of 898Mb (I use 90min CD's). But after muxing subs, only two muxed files were left... :confused:

[edwinver]

I stumbled onto (possibly) a bug when using the recover-option (this was found in RC1). When converting episodes from a PAL/interlaced TV-series I found no problems using 'automatic' for field-order (it then used bottom-field first), but when I use the recover-option on the same episode (starting at the video-encoding-stage) leaving settings at 'automatic' it encodes the video using top-field first !

[pinheads_hell]

i'm running win98se.
now i've got probs with 1.09 b 3.the mpeg file size is correct .but the bin file i created with vcdxbuild is wrong.i got an 450 mb image instead 800 mb.cd 2 was correct.but i think this is the wrong thread ;)
is the attachment uploaded?i not sure cause i dont see any ;)

Try uninstall the entire program first and delete the folder, then install dvd2svcd again. I haven't tested the new DVD2SVCD on W98 that might be the problem I will do so.

I tested both images in PowerDVD and the chapters worked as they should.

I reported this as field order bug before. Your finding is interesting. Here is a more detailed report of what I did:

I wanted to create a test cd for Player-Shopping. I encoded 1 chapter of an interlaced movie at 2500 cbr and kept it interlaced. I copied the final mpeg into a temp folder, recovered from encode and raised the bitrate by 500 (cbr), encodd again and so forth. Finally the tracks would go from 2500 to 7000. Anyway, the first two encodes where fine, and then SOME where strobing (reversed field order).

I am not sure, but I belive that I had this problem once during the first run too, when doing an episode. Not sure on this one though, may have had to resume it during coding, which would fit the above pattern. I have since changed field order to B, since that worked without exception till today.

In RC2 the field detection is exactly the same as it is in 1.0.9 B3, so your last sentence I don't understand. Nonetheless I do not doubt that I forget to save the fieldorder in the project file. I will of course make it so it will save it.

Uyuyuy... I said nothing about chapters ;)
I simply said that:
a) vcxbuild is doing nothing. I mean, REAL nothing... when DVD2SVCD reaches the stage at which it has to create CD images, it simply skips that step and says that the whole process is over, and that shutdown will occur in 120 secs (I tell the prog to close everything at the end).
b) I find 3 muxed files without subs that at the end become two muxed files with subs (after the Winsubmux step is done).
c) I'm amazed about the program producing two muuxed files with extension .mpg-s1 at the end of the process. I guess that means that subs have been muxed to the video+2 audios, but I'm not sure (you know better than me=.
Ok, thanks for your help :)

[dvd2svcd]

Don't thank me because I do not know what to do about it. Did you uninstall dvd2svcd prior to installing RC1? If you did please mail me your dvd2svcd.ini file.

[Fmazzanti]

I strongly believe I have many reasons to thank you... independently of the help you may provide me right now.
And yes, I uninstalled the previous versio (1.0.9b3) before installing RC1. I'll send the file you aske for this evening from home...

[mrbass]

@Fmazzanti install RC2 ...RC1 is known buggy with frame selection and vcdxbuild.

@pinheads_hell your doing a multipass 2? with 3800 max bitrate and 3600 max average. What on earth are you trying to create?
NoOfpasses=2
CCE Image Quality=17
CCE Anti noise value=2
CCE Anti noise=0
CBR=0
One Pass VBR=0
Multi Pass VBR=1

[Fmazzanti]

Danke mrbass. I'll try that tonight and see what comes out using RC2.
And DVD2SVCD... since you are the Macho and I pretty sure you're a bussy man, I won't send the dvd2svcd.ini file until I try out RC2.
If that works for me (I'm sure it will) Ill report here. If it doesn't work... I'll report here anyway and send you the dvd2svcd.ini file.
Cheers...

[The eDealer]

Please help :)
When I load this Script with fixed worth for the Becubic/AddBoarder Parameters -> everything works (Using RC2)

But in this Version: [AVISYNTH_Mpeg2dec3_Bicubic]
0=FILM = MPEG2source(!D2A.d2v,^PP_Efficacity,^iDCT_Algo,lumoff=^lumoff,lumgain=^lumgain,iPP=?iPP,showQ=?showQ,blend=?blend,iConv=?iConv).BicubicResize(^ResWidth,^ResHeight,0,0.6,^CropLeft,^CropTop,^CropWidth,^CropHeight).AddBorders(^BorderSiteL,^BorderTop,^BorderSiteR,^BorderBottom)

^BorderTop=80
^BorderBottom=80
^BorderSiteL=16
^BorderSiteR=16 the last four variable worth couldn't be set in D2S Script-Setlist. Because, after one activation in D2S the Script looks like this:[AVISYNTH_Mpeg2dec3_Bicubic]

^BorderSite=
^B=

Why that ?? Did I ignore any rules to keep to ??
It's castrated :(

[dvd2svcd]

@eDealer: Nope, I don't think you broke any rules as such, I think maybe the length of the lines I load is too short internally. I'll look into it.

But one important thing, I do not think it is a good idea to use your own source (MPEG2source), because dvd2svcd adds it's own source and possible deinterlacer or ivtc.

[fgm]

I'm having problems with both RC1 and RC2 with a particular script to use Temporal Smoother. I copied the script directly from the readme.txt:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize-TemporalSmoother]
0=LoadPlugin(!MPEG2DEC2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=TemporalSmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
!MPEG2DEC2.dll=E:\Archivos de Programa\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC.dll
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
^Strength=2
^Radius=1

I used this script in two different computers, one with RC1 (High Crimes) and the other with RC2 (Scorpion King). Both performed as expected and after burning the images I tested the resulting CDs in my computer. Everything played as expected. However in my stand alone DVD player (Daewoo 2000) the movie plays in one square in the upper left corner of the TV (the rest of the TV shows the Daewoo DVD screen).

Next I used RC2 to do Titus (with the same .ini file), but this time I chose the regular Bicubic Resize option and a 4 pass encode. Everything was OK both on the computer and on the stand alone. So I conclude that the Temporal Smoother script I used is to blame since previous versions (up to B3) have worked flawlessly with TS. I'm linking the .ini and the log files for the 3 movies here: dvd.rar (http://www.maceda.org/DVD/dvd.rar)

Thanks

PD. As I was writing this I saw a problem with that script since we have:
0=LoadPlugin(!MPEG2DEC2.dll) and
!MPEG2DEC2.dll=E:\Archivos de Programa\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC.dll

However, even after correcting that typo in the script the problems still remain unchanged. Here is the lattest iteration of that script:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize-TemporalSmoother]
0=LoadPlugin(!MPEG2DEC2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=TemporalSmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
!MPEG2DEC2.dll=E:\Archivos de Programa\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC2.dll
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
^Strength=2
^Radius=1

[dvd2svcd]

I don't know, but if the svcd played correctly on your computer then it should perform correctly on your standalone too. There is nothing wrong with any of the scripts you've posted.

EDIT:
On retrospect I now see what is wrong. You need a very important line in the script namely AddBorders(0,^TopBorder,0,^BottomBorder) so it is no wonder that it didn't perform as expected on the standalone.

[The eDealer]

Hi DVD2SVCD,
i have solved the Problem.

This Version is OK and works nice:

[AVISYNTH_Mpeg2dec3_Bicubic]
0=FILM = MPEG2source(!D2A.d2v,^PP_Efficacity,^iDCT_Algo,lumoff=^lumoff,lumgain=^lumgain,iPP=?iPP,showQ=?showQ,blend=?blend,iConv=?iConv).BicubicResize(^ResWidth,^ResHeight,0,0.6,^CropLeft,^CropTop,^CropWidth,^CropHeight)
1=return(FILM).AddBorders(^BorderSiteL,^BorderT,^BorderSiteR,^BorderB)
!D2A.d2v=E:\1\DVD2AVI_PROJECT_FILE.d2v
^PP_Efficacity=0
^iDCT_Algo=2
^lumoff=0
^lumgain=128
?iPP=false
?showQ=false
?blend=false
?iConv=false
^ResWidth=448
^ResHeight=416
^CropLeft=17
^CropTop=76
^CropWidth=685
^CropHeight=424
^BorderT=80
^BorderB=80
^BorderSiteL=16
^BorderSiteR=16

Yuo said:I do not think it is a good idea to use your own source (MPEG2source), because dvd2svcd adds it's own source and possible deinterlacer or ivtc. Thats right !!! But with this Script it is possible to speed up the CCE ~12% and set all Parameters from the Beginnig for a "standard" Film.
As I know, MarcFD is working on a Version to set the Parameter outsite of the mpeg2source call.
I hope it will work.
Till know i don't have checked the situation when i set the "use frame selection" :rolleyes: We will see.

Thanks for your Help

Hi again,
well.. RC2 failed with the same problem as RC1: it stops after the subs muxing stage and does not create any CD image. Actually these are the very last lines of the screen log:

Executing SubMux Commandline
"c:\Archivos de programa\DVD2SVCD\WinSubMux\WinSubMux.exe" "E:\Movies\bbMPEG_Muxed_File01.mpg" -l "E:\Movies\Subs\SubLog2.txt" -s0 "E:\Movies\Subs\es1-2.sub" "E:\Movies\bbMPEG_Muxed_File-Subbed01.mpg"-s1 "E:\Mvies\Subs\en2-2.sub"

Muxing Subtitles finished
CD-Image creation finished

-------------------------------
-23/10/2002 7:33:08
-Free drive E:13459.25Mb
-SVCD Creation finished
-------------------------------

...and that's the end of it. But I can't find any .cue/.bin file around :(

And well, I've attached the DVD2SVCD.INI file as you requested. Hope that helps...
BTW, if you look at what I wrote few lines above, you'll see that the command that goes through WinSubMux has this ...bMPEG_Muxed_File-Subbed01.mpg"-s1 "E:\Movies\Subs\en2-2.sub" at the end. Notice that there's no space between the -Subbed01.mpg" and the -s1. AT the end I find bbmpeg muxed files with extension .mpg-s1 and no CD images are created... can the problem be related in some way to this?
Also, I start to believe that I experience such troubles because I'm using two subtitle streams. Maybe using just one wil hide the problems. Is there a way I can use the .mp2 and .mpv files to mux the whole thing with only one subtitle stream? I just did a 'recovery' and changed things in the Subtitles tab but the prog didn't pay attention to what I was changing...

Notice that there's no space between the -Subbed01.mpg" and the -s1.Damn, I missed that one, I'll try it out. Most likely this only happens when using SVCD subs (as opposed to CVD Subs).

EDIT:
Yes, the missing space was what caused the problems.

[dvd2svcd]

@Villa21, pinheads_hell and mordant:

Here's what I have found out. If you haven't installed the right version of ASPI drivers and you're trying to rip a DVD with a different region than the one your drive is set to, the "Analyzing Video" will stay on a long time. I will continue to investigate this. Keep an eye on this post, I will edit it if I figure it out.

EDIT:
However, if forceaspi17 is installed properly (and this apparently goes for all windows versions) dvd2svcd has no problem authenticating and analyzing the video. Next: I'll try and region lock my drive and see how that goes.

[Sunhillow]

First of all thanks for this great prog :)

With the new release the window height is too small - see attached pic.

Graphics: GeForce2, driver version 2.1.8.3, resolution 1280x1024

[dvd2svcd]

@Sunhillow: Well, you shouldn't change the default fint size in the desktop settings.

Thank you, that's it!
btw: using "large fonts" worked with 1.0.9
Default is "small fonts" which actually looks quite tiny. :scared:

[markrb]

I haven't read through all 156 post so if someone posted this already don't shoot me.

I noticed a small change/potential bug in the way DVD2SVCD RC2 handles the Anilyzing video if you forgot to have DVD ripping checked when you first selected the IFO.

Previously if you selected the IFO and didn't have ripping checked the popup would ask you if you wanted it to be as a warning, then you would go and check DVD ripping, return to the Conversion page and it would continue onto analyzing the video as normal.

Now it just stalls at the last stage and does not continue to analyze the video. You have to select the IFO all over again.

Not a real big deal, but wanted to point it out just incase this was not intended to work this way.

Mark

edit: It now seems to happen whenever you change out of the Conversion tab. You must get the IFO again regardless of whether it already analyzed the video or not.

[winxi]

Hello!
First of all: this tool really is a great piece of work, thank you very much.
Testing this version i noticed two things:
1)As I experimented around in the frame selection window, the movie suddenly began to run reverse in slow motion (in stop modus), and when i pressed play, it run forward, but stuttering. This went on till the program hang up and i had to close it with the task manager.
But I am sorry, i really cant remember what i did before that, so i guess it won´t be much help for you, dvd2svcd.

2)(quite unimportant, i don´t know if you even call it a bug):
As i installed the bundle, i have chosen a cd - rom drive for the installation - folder (error of mine), and win XP gave me an I/O - error.

greetings, winxi

[Fmazzanti]

aloha,
well, I just modified the dvd2svcd subtitles file.ini to remove one of the subtitles streams (I removed the english and kept only the spanish one) and now DVD2SVCD goes on and creates the image .cue/.bin files. SO looks like the bug is what I guessed before, due to the lack of a blank space before the -s1 option...
Hope that helps :D

[dvd2svcd]

@Fmazzanti: Yes, I confirmed that in an earlier post/reply to you (albeit it was and edited post) ;) Bug found and squashed.

[fgm]

EDIT:
On retrospect I now see what is wrong. You need a very important line in the script namely AddBorders(0,^TopBorder,0,^BottomBorder) so it is no wonder that it didn't perform as expected on the standalone.

Ok. That was it. I'm posting the latest version of the Temporal Smoother script and I'll add it also to the "avisynth script database for d2s" sticky. You might consider substituting it with the one you have in the Readme.txt (I'm including the differences in Italic/Black fonts):

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize-TemporalSmoother]
0=LoadPlugin(!MPEG2DEC2.dll)
1=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
2=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
3=TemporalSmoother(^Strength,^Radius)
!MPEG2DEC2.dll=F:\Program Files\DVD2SVCD\MPEG2Dec\MPEG2DEC2.dll
^b_value=0.0
^c_value=0.6
^Strength=2
^Radius=1

Thanks again.

I posted the bug in a single thread. It was refering to 109b3.

I am not sure but I think that I ran a Star Trek episode on auto some time ago with 109b3, with horrible results: Strobe effects - wrong field order. It could be, that I interrupted the process once and recovered it, which would explain the failure, wouldn't it? As a result of the failure, I used B. Since B never failed so far, I leave it on B to begin with.

If you tell me which version should not have this bug anymore, I will happily test it because season 3 just arrived...:)

But I would have to know, which version is recoverable incl. field order.

[Labersack]

I did a conversion of 'Dinosaurs' with two audio-streams and three subtitle-streams.
The resulting SVCD had two audio, but no subs.

Anybody knows why winsubmux doesn't work anymore in my case?

[dvd2svcd]

@labersack: Maybe because the stream starts at stream 1 instead of stream 0, otherwise try mailing new_age if you still have some test data. New_age have been very helpfull with winsubmux in the past.

Yes, I only uses stream 0 for 'alien subs', because my player shows them without being asked, so I have to unselected all the time if I don't want to see it. Most time I watch without subs, so I want to show nothing if I don't select one.
btw: in Version 1.0.9build3 winsubmux did the job, only in the beta there were problems.

[Labersack]

Untill now I did not, but I will let it run this night with 109b3.

With 110R2 three DVDs didn't had subs (Dinosaur, Lady and Tramp 2, Star Trek IV, all Pal R2), and at least two of them are 'repaired' by doing a CrashRecovery with submux, the third I try at the moment.

Will post the results tomorow.

[dvd2svcd]

Hmm, I wonder if it's because I do all 3 subs in one run instead of 3 runs (like submux does).

[pacohaas]

submux should be able to mux all 3 at once as well, correct?

Also, maybe this has something to do with it:

Sorry by the delay.
About the chapters don't work in MPEG1 with TMPGEnc, I and KWAG can't make the chapters. I'm sending you the requested file.

On the face the xml seems to be perfect, maybe your player doesn't support chapters in VCD's ? Did you try PowerDVD? Anyway, I'll try it out.

Also, maybe this has something to do with it:
on all the other cd's there are only the first 3 "Muxing" announcements. Nope, that's just what's written in the log, the important thing is the commandline which is being executed. Afaik the only difference between 1.0.9 and 1.1.0 is that winsubmux is only run once per cd in the latter. That's why I'm suspecious about it.

YEEEAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :D
Thanks DVD2SVCD. We really needed chapters ;)

[dvd2svcd]

You misunderstand me Kwag, the chapters are also working in RC2, so I have no idea why RC2 didn't work for you and funil99.

:confused: I haven't been able to make chapters with 4 movies now.
They are all NTSC. I've tried on two different machines. Both Windows XP Prof. Are yours PAL ?

-kwag

[dvd2svcd]

Yes, mine is PAL, but I can test NTSC too. Did you try the CD Images with Daemon-Tools + PowerDVD ?

[dvd2svcd]

Untill now I did not, but I will let it run this night with 109b3.

With 110R2 three DVDs didn't had subs (Dinosaur, Lady and Tramp 2, Star Trek IV, all Pal R2), and at least two of them are 'repaired' by doing a CrashRecovery with submux, the third I try at the moment.

Will post the results tomorow. I think I have found the bug. Take a look here:

No. I burned with VCDEasy. But I did mount the image with Daemon tools, and there were no chapters. Tested with WinDVD. Just two chapters. Your logo ( Default title picture. Chapter 1 ) and the movie ( Chapter 2 ).
I had set VCDXBuild with movie info ( IMDB ) and everything, and the chapters were indeed in the file "dvd2svcd chapters file.ini", but they never get to the .bin image.

-kwag

[dvd2svcd]

Weird, because I can see in the XML from Funil99 that the chapters are in the xml file, and so they should be in the bin too. I'm sorry but I'm lost here.

[Labersack]

The conversion with 109b3 is finsished, and chapters with submux are working on stream 1,2,3; strem 0 is empty as I want to have it.
I've seen you screenshot. Is iit possible to make SVCD and CVD subs at the same disk? I ask because in my disk there were also no subs at stream 2 and 3.
Right now I'm trying a conversion with 110R2 and submux, but this time with sub-stream 0,1,2. Will post the result later this day (It's a short movie of 77 min, so I do CBR).
@DVD2SVCD: do you still want to have the .ini? I've deleted it, but I can set all to the used values and send the new one to you.

[dvd2svcd]

@Bach: Done
@Labersack: I have no idea :( But what I do know is that I've made a workaround for the little bug in winsubmux.

[Labersack]

What workaround? You can mail me the new version if you want (if it is one) via email, so I can test it.

[dvd2svcd]

RC3 is online.

[kwag]

@DVD2SVCD,

Thanks for the larger "Spread" field ;)

-kwag

[Labersack]

Sucess. With RC3 I got my three subs in the correct streams and an empty stream 0. I've seen you've added an empty dummy-sub. Simple and efficient. :-)
Thanks for solving my problem.

[markrb]

I was just about to try my first 5.1 audio encode.
I installed I-Author, etc...

When I went to laod the IFO an error pop up came and went so quickly I couldn't read what it said. The error did have an OK button to push, but didn't wait for an input.

I think I know the reason for the error. I just wanted to report the way the error pop-up was acting.

edit: wierd. I just tried it again and this time the error message stayed until I hit ok. It was the one about the bitrate being beyond what I-Author could handle.

[ch@@boom]

i wanted to encode Simpsons Full DVD set 2nd Season:

VCD 1150 Video/224 Audio,CCE CBR -> got ~0,45 speed max.
it turned out that my DVD Player (Toshiba SD220E) only played the sound but no picture ..

so i changed to RC3 and chose also VCD Template in the frameserver tab

hell i get now encoding speed of ~0,7+ .. :D:D (on a P-III,512RAM)
i will check if mpeg2 speed was increased also

thank you dvd2svcd

[kwag]

Hi DVD2SVCD,

Could you double check the CQ file size prediction if possible. I got a movie that even though the settings on bit rate are all set to 1 CD and 800MB, I got two .bin files. The second being ~8MB in size. On the other hand, another movie came out to a single ~750MB .bin file. Using the formula that's now integrated in FitCD, the same movie came out to ~-4MB offset from 800MB( the muxed audio/video mpeg file ). I just got an E-Mail from a user with the same result, and another user posted here: http://kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1512&sid=f31a59b99114d9e038470e326ff68f8d
This is using 24 frames per spread(sample) and a spread resolution of 100 snapshots.


Thanks,
-kwag

[ux-3]

Well, I just started the first test run on an episode...

Here is what I observed when preparing the Interface for the first run:

1. Audio Tab and Conversion Data Tab still don't correspond.
2. When choosing "Keep Interlaced", none of the relevant fields in the advanced options actually change. This may be irritating to users, like me...
3. Message: "Drive is type 1 (no DVD drive)" certainly doesn't raise confidence...
4. The setting for Interlaced resize got me a little confused here! When do I need that? Allways? Looked like it was just a simple resize?

Well, I'll know more in two hours...

Well, perhaps a check for valid pathnames could be done. I made a typo d:/abc which only poped up during conversion time.

[dvd2svcd]

1. Yes they do.
2. No ofcourse not, I don't change the users default settings. That would irritate even more users. I handle it internally.
3. Don't get you, what message are you talking about?
4. Interlaced resize is only used if you want 4:3 with added borders (don't use "keep interlaced")

Thanks,
-kwag The algo is exactly as the one you're using and I have tested it on multiple dvd's, the CQ was perfect on each. However, now that you mention it I have tried it on CQ_VBR. I will asap.

1. No they don't. (Do you want the long or the short argument? :D )
Well, at what stage exactly are they to match? I uninstalled 109b3 before I installed the RC3 bundle. So I basically started from scratch. I had to tell the audio tab, that I wanted german as first language and english as second. After I returned to the encode tab, it was still set for english as first and only language.
2. Results from my encode confirm this.
3. It is the second line in the Log-Tab, the first line is about WNASPI.dll
As a side observation, this version produces a read error from DVD when the DVD wasn't opened with a dvdplayer first. 109b3 worked from scratch.
4. Perhaps this did not cross my way yet. Where can I read up on it?

After action report...
My first test halted et encode time, because I made a typo d:/svcd instead of D:\. It wasn't really possible to clean the system of that typo. Recovering, followed from a change of main directory to d:\svcd did not stop the input stage of cce to enter the wrong path name. I manually edited the input.

The task finished, but the SVCD had no chapters, which was aparent at the vcdxbuild stage, when only one chapter was to be created.

I am currently rerunning the _whole_ job, see if it works with chapters now.

[dvd2svcd]

1. You have to reload the ifo when changing the audio. That's the way it has been for some time now.
2. Ok.
3. Still haven't seen that error. Just disregard it.
4. No big deal. To Keep interlaced and Aspect Ratio: Don'use any deinterlacers. Deselect Progressive and zigzag in CCE Advanced. Select Interlaced Resize in the Frameserver Tab.

Side note, please post the wnaspi line from the log here. Also, what windows version are you using.


Side note no. 2, dvd chapters does indeed not work every time (I have only been able get dvd chapters to work on PAL movies)

[ux-3]

Here is the start of the log:

WNASPI32.DLL 4.6.0.1021
Drive is type 1 (no DVD drive), no need to authenticate - OK.

I am using a toshiba 1612 and win98se.

Here is another result on a PAL episode:
Still one chapter but watch the chapter file:
[CHAPTERS]
Chapter0001=0
Chapter0002=1
Chapter0003=1
Chapter0004=1
Chapter0005=1
Chapter0006=1
Chapter0007=1
Chapter0008=1

Never seen this... it knows it has 8 chaptors, but is clueless as to where...

I am test the chapter thingy, maybe it's something else altogether, but I'll figure it out.

I vote for that. 1.0.9b3 seems really stable for people authenticating. I think it's quicker than the new method (albeit nic's might be able to auth the real hard ones perhaps).

[VILLA21]

I think the short display delay of the movie"s length, DAR, etc, has solved in rc3. :)
"WNASPI32.DLL 4.6.0.1021
No need to authenticate (was already) - OK."

If u remember in rc1 and rc2 the fist two lines of the log file were:
" Try to read DVD..."

Got to wait finishing the encoding and post the log file.

PS: fisrt time i use the Tmpeg and Kwag templates to test the quality of the final mpg.

The authentication can't be the problem. Here's the start of my log on a NTSC DVD:

WNASPI32.DLL 4.6.0.1021
Authentication successful!
Key found: C000000001

And the file dvd2svcd chapters file is exactly like this:


[CHAPTERS]
Chapter0001=0
Chapter0002=1
Chapter0003=1
Chapter0004=1
Chapter0005=1
Chapter0006=1
Chapter0007=1
Chapter0008=1
Chapter0009=1
Chapter0010=1
Chapter0011=1
Chapter0012=1
Chapter0013=1

[pipo]

Mmmm... tried to convert an avi (captured from TV)but an error occured at the BeSweet transcoding part (RC3). :confused:

I'll do some more tests with RC3....

Pipo

ps. Istalled svcd2svcd r9b3 again and not problems at all.

[MedicineMan]

I've just tried RC3. It works GREAT. But i had a problem. I was ripping a movie, and as usual i tried to use DVD chapters. I used frame selection to split the movie (great addition to the program; can you do it split the movie automatically in the chapters position?). And i got only 1 chapter in each CD. What went wrong?

Here are the logs.

I think the problem is in the chapters file. Have i done anything wrong?

Thank you for your answer and for a great program.

[B]I used frame selection to split the movie (great addition to the program; can you do it split the movie automatically in the chapters position?).

Maybe in the next version perhaps...not currently. Only way I know is to rip it twice (a) ch1-ch10 (b)ch11-ch20 with internal routines and batch encode bother rips (a) and (b)

[VILLA21]

a) I encoded "American Beauty" with Kvcd-LBR.ini, the final image size was ~802Mb, the chapters with VCDXbuild didn"t work and the quality is quite acceptable!

b)For the encoding with SKvcd template i used the Kwag recomendation:
"...Download the kvcd_lbr.ini and matrices.ini
Then change the GOP to 1,48,3,1,48 instead of 1,15,2,1,15 in DVD2SVCD.
Go to "Misc." and change to MPEG-2 encoding and then go to "Frameserver" and change resolution to 352x480.
Change the MAX bit rate to 2,500Kbps. Leave CQ_VBR. Don't change to CQ. I'm currently revising all template, and they will switch to CQ_VBR soon. It's higher quality than plain CQ more.
That's basically it
Now, you'll be encoding SKVCD.
Be sure to go back to the "Misc." tab and save your new settings as "skvcd.ini" or any other name you want."

The final image was too short, only ~760Mb, chapters didn"t work also and the picture quality was not good, but this is normal as D2S didn"t use the whole 800MB CDR capacity.

[kwag]

@VILLA21,

Don't try to fit more than 90 minutes on each CD-R with 352x480 ( KVCD_352x480 PLUS ). Do that only with the LBR ( kvcd-lbr.ini ) ;)

[edwinver]

I have som trouble useing the R3 version. I've tried to authenticate several DVD's now (both PAL and NTSC) and every time I try a new one I get the message : "Cannot authenticate the DVD. Try either install ForceASPI17 drivers or maybe plat the DVD using PowerDVD or WinDVD." But my ASPI-drivers are ok (they always worked in preview versions). Also playing a part of the DVD using PowerDVD didn't help me much. Very strange...

I already converted one PAL-interlaced DVD, which turned into a very strange NTSC SVCD. Any suggestions here ?

[mrbass]

I got that can't authenticate message too. I just ripped it anyway and had no problems. I know it wasn't "previously authenticated" cuz I just stuck it in. Perhaps the dvd didn't need any authentication.

[Holomatrix]

I don't get anything different in my Framserver Tab. Just Simple, Bilinier and Bicubic. Here is my DVD2SVCD.ini (look at the bottom)
Is there something wrong?

Are you using the latest beta version of dvd2svcd (RC3).

[Holomatrix]

I'm using ver. 1.1.0 build 1 pre 22 Is this the new one? If not were to get the new one?
Thanks

[indy69]

Right. You need to download the latest beta version. Go to the advanced forum and you will find it on the first page of the help topic.It's a thread started by dvd2svcd.

[Holomatrix]

Found it thanks. Stupid me :)

[Kronuz]

Hey, great work with DVD2SVCD :)

Anyway.. I have found that, some times, subtitles get underlined (some of them anyway), I believe (tho' I'm not sure) that this occurs when DVD2SVCD is resizing or cropping them. I'm thinking that maybe this happens only when the lower part of the subtitle tuches the last row of the bitmap (before the resizing).

What do you think the problem might be?
btw, I'm using the default values for DVD2SVCD. Exept for chossing rip subtitles and SVCD subtitles.

(I'm attaching a zip containing images showing the problem)

OK, thank you.... I cant't stop saying: GREAT WORK!!

[kwag]

@DVD2SVCD and all,

Some people ( including myself ) wanted to use HeadAC3he with DVD2SVCD. I've written a small program just to do that. I know it will be obsolete the day you integrate HeadAC3he as an external encoder in DVD2SVCD, but in the mean time, we have an option. Here's the thread with download link and explanation. Third post down this thread: http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1518&start=15

Enjoy,
-kwag

[Kronuz]

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that.

The problem appears to be in all versions, since the first version I used up to the 1.1.0 RC3... Some times it does that underline and some other times (on rare occasions) the subtitles show a vertical line somewhere in the screen (perhaps the vertical line is something else, because it doesn't happen so often as the underline, tho' it might be rooted on the same.)

Thanks for taking care :)

Hi DVD2SVCD,

Ok, no problem. I understand. SweetHead is just an external "add-on", so if someone complains, then, as I said in that thread: "If your computer blows up, it's not my fault" (or yours either ;) ). :D

[markrb]

I was just doing an AVI and I don't do them often.
When I was editing the AVS file I noticed that Addborder was before the resize. Is this the way it's suppose to be?
I always thought the addborder was after the resize?
In my case it probably doesn't matter since it was 0 across the board.

Mark

[dvd2svcd]

@mark: Look at the order of your commands in the frameserver tab.

[markrb]

Ok, I get it now. I never knew what those green arrows were for. I always thought they were for scrolling through a longer list of commands if you couldn't see them all.

Did you take out TS and Sharpen or am I just missing them? You probably took them out ages ago and I just haven't had a need for them until now. I have a very blurry file that even though I know sharpen will introduce some noise it's worth it to unblur it a bit.

Mark

[dvd2svcd]

@Mark: Check out this sticky: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35746 There's all the scripts you need I think.

[markrb]

Yeah I saw that. I was just wondering about the check boxes that used to be there. No big deal as I rarely use them anymore and can easily edit the avs file. I was just wondering if I lost it and can't find those check boxes or if they had been removed.

[CHAOSMAN33]

wow, all this great development and discussion i can't wait to run a trial on rc3, keep up the good work d2s/testers ;)

[mrbass]

I unfortunately deleted my logs and .xml file...anyway anyone notice with RC3 using 'frame selection'. Chapters don't work for me in PowerDVD nor my pioneer dvd player. If I hit 'next' it goes to 'changecdpic'.

[Fastolfe]

Yep, same here no chapters.
I do not have the log to post but there was no chapter parameters in VCDXBuild report. Tried with 4 different DVDs.

FF

[Wario]

Hi.. i have the same probleme

NO CHAPTER with POwerDVD & my Dvd StandAlone

[Jack_Danl]

I have had the same problem with no chapters with RC3. I wasn't using frame selection, just normal encoding. I have included the logs in the zip file.

I see that there is a RC4, I will download that, and see if I still have the same problem.

[mrbass]

ok gonna be ripping a whole bunch with RC4.
Maybe a bad observation (this isn't necessarily a bug per se..let's call it a feature) I could be totally wrong on this too.

Using frame selection I chop off a few frames at the beginning and set the end frame like 15 seconds after credits start to roll.
CD1.bin 825,077 KB
CD2.bin 822,514 KB

The reason I cut off the credits is trying to allocate more bitrate for video. However, it seems that when using frame selection the bitrate calculation doesn't take any frame cutting into consideration? Or does it? If it doesn't then it's no big deal I'll just not rip the last chapter (if it's entirely just credits) and put the Last CD Pic.

[dvd2svcd]

It does take it into account, otherwise framecutting would be kind of useless.

[Fastolfe]

I just did a quick standard conversion with the RC4 as I would do with 1.0.9b3 but the chapters are still not there but ok with 1.0.9b3

[Labersack]

Just try to rip this movie again from DVD with internal routines. No other rippers than internal and vstrip are supported.

Q48: I have been having sync and other problems with VOB files I have ripped with another ripper, like SmartRipper?
A: Always use the internal routines or the built in Vstrip unless you have no other choice. SmartRipper and other rippers are known to cause issues occasionally with DVD2SVCD.


If you have already ripped the movie with another ripper, try to rerip the files from HDD with DVD2SVCD internal routines again, sometimes this works.

[dvd2svcd]

@Fastolfe: Just rechecked chapters, and they work as they should.

[dvd2svcd]

@All using svcd/cvd subs please download RC4 again.

[kwag]

Hi DVD2SVCD,
Chapters work now fine in RC4. :)
Confirmed with the DVD ( Cinderella II ) which is mixed FILM/NTSC, and didn't work in RC3. The .cue mounts now fine with Daemon tools, and chapters work fine in WinDVD. Burned the image, and chapters are also fine and tested on 5 DVD players: Panasonic RP-56, Panasonic DVD-L10 portable, JVC XV-F80BK, Sony NS-300, and Panasonic DMR-E20.

Thanks a lot!,
-kwag

[The eDealer]

Hi DVD2SVCD,
I started with testing the RC4 but 2 little Problems came up:
1. The rip option is aktiv (on GO) when i will start the conversion from a ripped ifo file (File Modus) and the rip is deactivated (on DVDrip)??
2. The Preview doesnt function anymore ? I use the mpeg2dec3.dll and in Version RC3 everything works.
Now I see a black window (No ErrorCode)?

The rest looks good, till now.

[jorel]

what happens with madplay.exe?

don't need it no more?

[Jack_Danl]

I am still working on an encode of Braveheart with RC4, taking quite a while like normal on this machine, but I did look at the log or at least what there is so far of it, and when it reported extracted subtitles there were 1610 english subtitles and only 9 french subtitles.

I will have to look into that a little closer. I seen that there was a post to redownload RC4 again for people using SVCD/CVD subtitles is that a fix? or for some other reason?

[Jack_Danl]

I killed the encode that I was doing, and downloaded RC4 again about a half hour ago. Still having the same problems with the subs, so I will paste that part of the log, and have to look into what exactly is going on.

Thanks DVD2SVCD,
I can confirm that the chapters are working fine now (with the internal rip routine).
Will recheck with DVDDecrypter later on just for my own understanding.

Thanks again,
FF

[Fmazzanti]

Please, DVD2SVCD... could you explain what have you changed in the subtitle part of the program? I'm running into problems with subtitles, but I don't know if these are related to encoding issues or troubles with my standalone, and since PowerDVD can not play subs, I can't decide.

[Labersack]

@Jack_Danl
In your movie are two french subtitle-streams. Are there some scenes with foreign languages in this movie? Maybe you ripped just this stream and not the main-subs.
Try to select the other french stream in the subtitle screen that appears after ripping.

there are some french language scenes in the movie. but the two subtitle tracks for french are for according to dvd2svcd are 1 for widescreen, and 1 for full screen. I selected both English and French Widescreen. I will test it out with another DVD, and see what happens.

I can confirm that ripping with DVD Decrypter works with RC4 at least chapter wise. Braveheart worked fine, had a 4 CD encode (I changed the defaults) with 2 audio tracks and everything was fine with both WinDVD and my standalone JVC dvd player.

[Jack_Danl]

Sorry for the extra post, but just wanted to tell DVD2SVCD that you are doing a great job. One of the best programs that I have ever used. Thank you much.

1. Hmm, are you sure? When I do it here it works as it always have (I would be surprised if it didn't since I haven't touched that area since I made it the first time).
2. The preview still works. Maybe you're just unlucky and dvd2svcd shows you a black frame from the movie. Try pressing "New Frame"

[Jack_Danl]

I am going to try with another full rip. I am going to try E.T. special edition. Using DVD Decrypter to rip the dvd, and then use dvd2svcd to encode.

This is the most common for me as I rip from one machine and then encode on my faster machine but doesn't have a dvd-rom drive installed.

Hi dvd2svcd,

sorry, but it was activ ! I will try again with another rip an give you feedback. The "New Frame" option was already used, but the same to this point, I will try again.

[onesoul]

Well, I've been testing with link2 and cce 2.64.01.10 and the result was that cce couldn't open the vaf file, even if I used vfapi frameserver.
I read at the readme.txt at the new RC4 that 2.64 has some weird bugs.

So, I use now 2.62.01.01 since with cce 2.66.01.04 can't open/load ecl project files (and this is useful if you want to let DVD2SVCD do all the work ;) ).

The frustrating thing is that the permanent subtitles that I use get chopped at the sides appearing the last letter at the begining. This happens also when I opene the wraped file by link2 with Power Dvd or Windows Media Player.

Is this a problem with the internal sub ripper or winsubmux? I am a n00b at this stuff so I don't know how to solve it.

I want to compliment DVD2SVCD for doing his work and sharing with all the people, thanks :)

I've installed again dvd2svcd 1.0.9 b3 and with the exactly same settings the problem refered before didn't occure so I guess there's a bug to be fixed. :(

I want to compliment not only dvd2svcd but as also all the other programmers and contributors to making this program rock n' roll

I made two DVD with two subtitles each. I placed on both disks German as Sub2 and English as sub3. Both movies came out with the correct subtitles at the correct streams, but in the svcdinfo.txt of both movies were the lines:

SUBTITLE INFO:
- Subtitlestreams: 2
- Type: CVD
- Sub. 1 Language:
- Sub. 2 Language: Deutsch
- Sub. 3 Language:
- Sub. 4 Language:


I used 110RC4.

Only a small thing, I don't even want to call it 'bug', but maybe something to change for the next version.

I posted an avisynth script in the database thread, but now I think it was better first to ask if it is posible to make such one for RC4

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
1=UNFILTER(-^x_value,-^y_value)
2=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
3=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
4=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
^b_value=0.33
^c_value=0.33
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value=20
^y_value=20

The original script is:

UnFilter(-20,-20)
BicubicResize
AddBorders
UnFilter(20,20)

What is if one want different values before resize and after resize? For example

UnFilter(-20,-20)
BicubicResize
AddBorders
UnFilter(40,40)

Thanks.

[dvd2svcd]

Like this:

[AVISYNTH_BicubicResize WITH UNFILTER]
0=LoadPlugin(!UNFILTER.dll)
1=UNFILTER(^x_value_neg,^y_value_neg)
2=BicubicResize(^TargetWidth,^TargetHeight,^b_value,^c_value)
3=AddBorders(0,^BorderTop,0,^BorderBottom)
4=UNFILTER(^x_value,^y_value)
^b_value=0.33
^c_value=0.33
!UNFILTER.dll=
^x_value=40
^y_value=40
^x_value_neg=-20
^y_value_neg=-20

[Abond]

Oops! Thank you very much!
I just edited the script.

Hi DVD2SVCD,
I started with testing the RC4 but 2 little Problems came up:
1. The rip option is aktiv (on GO) when i will start the conversion from a ripped ifo file (File Modus) and the rip is deactivated (on DVDrip)??
2. The Preview doesnt function anymore ? I use the mpeg2dec3.dll and in Version RC3 everything works.
Now I see a black window (No ErrorCode)?

The rest looks good, till now.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Hmm, are you sure? When I do it here it works as it always have (I would be surprised if it didn't since I haven't touched that area since I made it the first time).
2. The preview still works. Maybe you're just unlucky and dvd2svcd shows you a black frame from the movie. Try pressing "New Frame"

I tested still a little:
The point 1) it seems to be in fact functional. I could swear, that the mistake was available. However, so it is dearer to me.
Point 2 that is due to that the script is used now from the attitudes "Frame server".
In the version RC3 the reference had to occur still on the mpeg2dec.dll (I use the mpeg2dec3.dll and dont had those problems in RC3).It seems to me, that with the loading of the individuel scriptes, instead of the "reference", it can come to problems.
When I load the standard Script Becubic Resize than the Preview goes fine.
(Sorry for my bad english)

Good to see the VCD-Settings.ini file included with the recent RC versions now make a compliant VCD. Thanks.

hey dvd2svcd

just a thought - imagine this scenario:

i am "ripping only" 3 DVDs to harddrive (for batch processing)
and activating shut down computer when done.

then leaving the comp for a couple of days to finish and taking a trip over the weekend .. ;)

but somehow i did a wrong setting or there was something with ripping the dvd that the process on the first dvd halts with an error.

does dvd2svcd proceed to the second and third dvd ?

what i try to say is: what about an option to continue to the next batch line when an error is found (talking about errors so it cant finish)? (i.e. cce: check-sum,video source different, etc.)
so that dvd2svcd at least tries to finish the other dvds?
and if its the last dvd and it gets an error - shut down the pc ??

i am not sure if this can be done regarding error analysis and such

thx for ideas/comments
regards

*UPDATE* : maybe common ones ? but if you think that there are too much disadvantages - just droPP it :)

[dvd2svcd]

Great idea, unfortunately not possible. There's about a gazillion errors than can happen in a gazillion places. To me it seems a too big task compared to any advantages, sorry.

Hi
This seems like an easy one...

Let's say you have a DVD filled with 6 or so hour long episodes, either in your dvd drive or on your hard drive.

Now, I would like the option to rip each episode, then convert later as a batch process. Ripping takes a while, sometimes, and needs to be babysat.

What I would like to do is tell DVD2SVCD which episode to rip, have it select a folder, and then NOT actually rip until I start the batch process.

This seems like a simple change, but it may be more complext.

Thanks for all your hard work, I really appreciate all you've done so far.

Hi, just noticed that on the RC4 version you can select more than 2 passes with TMPGenc...not sure I would want to wait that long for anything but curious if this is now actually possible the TMPGenc.

The new select cut point function is excellent. Many thanks to DVD2SVCD =)
