New tool: DoItFast4U!

[Cruel]

i was just testing DoItFast4U.v.1.0.9.11 and i notice something wierd, i have 1 vts with 4 pgc where pgc 1 is main movie and 2,3,4 is extras, i set extra bitrate to 1500 and started program, when it finish and i checked CCEdata.txt it seems it have set the bitrate for all 4 pgc to the same as the bitrate for the main movie, the dvd im testing is lawnmover man Pal R2

Bitrates are VTS specific, so what you saw is the intended output of the program. The ability to tweak these settings is why I include an option to open DoCCE4U without starting it. I'd think that with a couple small extras it wouldn't matter though...

Eyes:

whenever upgrading to new beta I get a message about "a previous install deposited files in your system32 directory"

what files is it detecting?

docce4u integration issue:

launches docce4u just fine but it's looking for the CCEdata.txt file in the wrong location (under the dir of one of the PGC's not the root rip dir)

Looks like DIF4U closes out ok because I don't have it open

latest beta 1.0.9.11

right just finnished my first rip with, do it fast 4 u, do CCE 4 u and reauthorist. And heres what I got to say:

The main movie of spiderman turned out bad(not terrible though, stilll quite good), too blocky. I am beginning to think about trying to find a way to delete all the extras but still keep the main menu(menu edit probably) as I just don't think there is enough room in 4.3gbs to keep the extras and the main film. oh.. just had a tought, what about resizing the extras to 352x576???? that would really save bitrate, and maybe a bit of temporal smoother at 2,2. we could probably get the extras down to an avg of 1000 and still get them watchable.

As for the extras!! Well ALL the extras were in interlaced format and do cce for you dosn't have an interlaced button so they came out very very bad! However I think we shall find a way around this. Surely it must say in the ifo file or something that the video is interlaced as I think the dvd player needs to know this to play back the file properly.

Ah yes, and

Also about the CCE-no-avs thingy... I will re-rip T2 later today to see if it does do this.

d3s7:

It's looking for many of the same files that are present in your Program Files\DoItFast4U directory now. They used to be put into the <windir>\system32 directory. I don't remove them because some people still like them there. I did include an option to remove them in the installer in previous builds, but users kept just hitting next next next without reading and then wondered where their files went, and the emails I got about it were overwhelming enough for me to remove that from the install!

About the DoCCE4U issue.. I'm looking into it now. You found that .txt file in a subdirectory? I'm pretty sure I coded to always put it in the root, but I'll check!

Eyes:

ah... i figured it was probably some of the Avisynth stuff or one of the other utils.

DoCCE problem:

I ripped to X:\RIPDIR
the .txt file is in X:\RIPDIR

BUT when I had it auto launch DOCCE4U, DOCCE4U complained about not finding it but it was looking in X:\RIPDIR\VTS5 which is the last VTS set I ripped. (VTS3,4,5 ripped)

I tried the same disk again w/ the same error...

aha! well thats quite a different issue, but at least it makes more sense to me because I was sure I put that .txt file in the root! I'll fix that now.

beta version 1.0.9.12 at http://doitfast4u.doom9.org/DoItFast4U.v.1.0.9.12.exe

Changes:

- DoCCE4U correctly pointed to the CCEData.txt file
- Small fix in the vobsub, should work better for streams that have resetting timecodes in them
- Added ability to specify process priority for opened apps, per Doom9's request
- Fixed bug with subs not being found even when checked

Eyes`Only I've Just discovered this great tool & I'm not quite sure how to get it to setup DoCCE4U to encode using the Roba method via the CCEData.txt file. I realise you app will include in this .txt file setting for encoding bitrates so it will fit a dvdr, but is it working out these bitrates based on the Roba method? Also, for the roba method, how many passes would I need to set?

Set Integrate With DoCCE4U..>start/open to automatically open DoCCE4U (if you have it installed!). Bitrates are worked out according to algorithms created/modified by myself and Trilight. No idea what 'method' they go with, but they work for me! Oh and I don't subscribe to that whole 'you only need 1 or 2 passes with CCE' propaganda, I can see considerable improvement in quality at 3-5 passes. Don't just research, do your OWN tests and make your OWN assumptions. Don't believe the hype, especially if you believe in quality!



Version 1.1.0 has gone public. As such, I'm closing this thread and will be starting a new one based on 1.1.0!

See you all at the new thread!
